Born on 3 October 1916 in Sunderland, Wight’s journey to becoming one of Britain’s best-loved authors began with his graduation from Glasgow Veterinary College in 1939. After completing his studies, he returned to England to begin his career as a vet in Yorkshire, where he would practise for nearly half a century. Despite his early ambitions to become an author, Wight’s demanding schedule as a rural vet left little time to write. It wasn’t until 1965, at the age of 50 and with encouragement from his wife, Joan, that he began to seriously pursue his writing. Wight’s first attempts were met with rejection. However, a helpful suggestion from a publisher of writing in the first person, given that his stories were based on real-life experiences, led to his breakthrough. In 1970, under the pen name James Herriot, Wight published his first book If Only They Could Talk. After that, he launched many hugely popular books that would go on to sell some 60 million copies worldwide. His books paint a vivid picture of rural life, grasping the essence of the people, the animals, and the landscape with warmth, humour, and keen human observation. His sharp, often unique observations into the relationships between animals and their owners form a central theme in his work. And he reflects the changes in veterinary practice over the years, alongside shifts in agriculture and British society. Even long after his books brought him fame and fortune, Wight continued his veterinary practice in Yorkshire, only retiring in the late 1980s. He passed away on 23 February 1995, leaving behind a rich legacy (遗产) of literature that continues to attract readers — and inspire new generations of vets. 4. What caused Wight to engage in writing seriously? A. His demanding schedule. B. His early ambitions. C. His wife’s encouragement. D. His college education. 5. What made Wight achieve a breakthrough in writing? A. Using a new pen name. B. Switching to the first-person point of view. C. Paying attention to real life. D. Getting praise from a publisher. 6. What is a central theme of Wight’s books? A. His medical practice in Yorkshire. B. The beautiful landscape in rural areas. C. Shifts in agriculture and British society. D. Bonds between rural people and animals. 7. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. James Wight — A country vet and a celebrated author B. James Wight — An author advocating animal protection C. James Wight — A writer struggling for fame and fortune D James Wight — One of Britain’s best-loved country vets 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了英国兽医兼作家詹姆斯·阿尔弗雷德·怀特（James Alfred Wight），其笔名为詹姆斯·赫里奥特（James Herriot），他以约克郡乡村兽医的生活故事娱乐了世界各地的读者数十年。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It wasn’t until 1965, at the age of 50 and with encouragement from his wife, Joan, that he began to seriously pursue his writing.(直到1965年，在他50岁的时候，在妻子琼的鼓励下，他才开始认真地追求写作)”可知，他妻子的鼓励促使怀特认真从事写作。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, a helpful suggestion from a publisher of writing in the first person, given that his stories were based on real-life experiences, led to his breakthrough.(然而，考虑到他的故事是基于现实生活经历，一位出版商建议他以第一人称写作，这让他取得了突破)”可知，切换到第一人称视角使怀特在写作上取得了突破。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“His sharp, often unique observations into the relationships between animals and their owners form a central theme in his work.(他对动物和主人之间关系的敏锐而独特的观察形成了他作品的中心主题)”可知，怀特作品的中心主题是农村人与动物之间的纽带。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“James Herriot was the pen name of James Alfred Wight, a British vet (兽医) and author whose tales of life as a country vet in the Yorkshire Dales have entertained readers worldwide for decades.(詹姆斯·赫里奥特（James Herriot）是詹姆斯·阿尔弗雷德·怀特（James Alfred Wight）的笔名，他是一位英国兽医和作家，他在约克郡山谷的乡村兽医生活故事几十年来一直吸引着全世界的读者)”结合这篇文章主要讲述了英国兽医兼作家詹姆斯·阿尔弗雷德·怀特（James Alfred Wight），其笔名为詹姆斯·赫里奥特（James Herriot），他以约克郡乡村兽医的生活故事娱乐了世界各地的读者数十年。可知，A选项“詹姆斯·怀特——既是一位乡村兽医也是著名作家”最符合文章标题。故选A。 C If all 620 million kilograms of electronic waste the world produces in a year were loaded into garbage trucks, they’d encircle the planet, according to a recent United Nations report. And hidden in that massive traffic jam would be astonishing amounts of precious metals, including gold - crucial in electronics because it conducts electricity and stretches into wires. But separating precious metals from waste electronics is a difficult business. Using energy-intensive recycling facilities, e-waste is processed with punishing heat. This approach then requires complex electrochemical processes and poisonous treatments to recover valuable metal elements. The search for environmentally friendlier methods that skip those additional steps has led materials scientists down some unusual ways. An experimental sponge (海绵) combines graphene oxide (氧化石墨烯) with chitosan (壳聚糖) to separate out gold. Because chitosan automatically attaches to graphene oxide, the sponge essentially builds itself. In their early experiments, the study authors used the sponge to filter (过滤) water that contained gold ions (离子). The ions reacted with the chitosan, which helped to transform the gold back into its original metal state. The researchers also tested the sponge on partially processed e-waste; when they increased the acidity of the liquid to a pH of 3, the sponge’s chitosan held the remaining gold while ignoring other metals. The new material is one of the most potent gold-catching substances ever created. The sponge collected up to 99.5 percent of the gold by weight from liquids with gold concentrations as low as three parts per million. “This is a record-high value,” says ETH Zürich physicist Raffaele Mezzenga. He notes that the materials needed to make it aren’t cheap, and he questions whether it would be a workable option “under real operating conditions”. Adapting the technique for industrial production, say study co-authors Daria Andreeva-Baeumler and Konstantin Novoselov, “is indeed the next step in our research.” 8. What is the challenge in pulling precious metals from electronic waste? A. Global climate change. B. Tough recycling process. C. Low metal concentration. D. The conductivity of metals. 9. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A. The details of the experiments. B. The pH of liquids used in the lab. C. The reaction between metals. D. The necessity of recycling e-waste. 10. What does the underlined word “potent” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Expensive. B. Efficient. C. Environmental. D. Extensive. 11. What is the next step of the research? A. Reducing the cost of the experiments. B. Finding cheaper alternative materials. C. Making the technique meet industrial needs. D. Improving the environmental friendliness of the sponge. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讨论了从电子垃圾中回收贵金属的挑战，介绍了一种实验性的海绵材料，它能够有效地从液体中回收黄金，并指出了未来研究的方向。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But separating precious metals from waste electronics is a difficult business. Using energy-intensive recycling facilities, e-waste is processed with punishing heat. This approach then requires complex electrochemical processes and poisonous treatments to recover valuable metal elements. (但是从废弃电子产品中分离贵金属是一件困难的事情。利用能源密集型回收设施，电子垃圾在高温下被处理。这种方法需要复杂的电化学过程和有毒处理来回收有价值的金属元素。)”可知，从电子垃圾中提取贵金属的挑战在于回收过程艰难。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“In their early experiments, the study authors used the sponge to filter (过滤) water that contained gold ions (离子). The ions reacted with the chitosan, which helped to transform the gold back into its original metal state. The researchers also tested the sponge on partially processed e-waste; when they increased the acidity of the liquid to a pH of 3, the sponge’s chitosan held the remaining gold while ignoring other metals. (在他们早期的实验中，研究作者使用海绵过滤含有金离子的水。这些离子与壳聚糖反应，帮助金恢复到原来的金属状态。研究人员还在部分处理过的电子垃圾上测试了这种海绵；当他们将液体的酸度提高到pH值为3时，海绵中的壳聚糖保留了剩余的金，而忽略了其他金属。)”可知，该段主要描述了实验的细节，故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The sponge collected up to 99.5 percent of the gold by weight from liquids with gold concentrations as low as three parts per million. (这种海绵从金浓度低至百万分之三的液体中收集了99.5%重量的金。)”可知，这种海绵从金浓度低至百万分之三的液体中收集了99.5%重量的金，说明很高效。故划线词意思是“高效的”。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Adapting the technique for industrial production, say study co-authors Daria Andreeva-Baeumler and Konstantin Novoselov, “is indeed the next step in our research.” (该研究的合著者达里娅·安德烈娃-鲍姆勒和康斯坦丁·诺沃塞洛夫说，将这项技术应用于工业生产，“确实是我们研究的下一步。”)”可知，研究的下一步是使该技术满足工业需求，故选C。 D Behavioral scientists have long shown that setting a small resolution for a day’s work motivates teams and individuals as well. And so it is when building your life. I have one particular, very achievable commitment in mind that will help you become happier and improve your health and effectiveness: This year, start getting up early. To rise before dawn sounds ascetic (苦行的). Modern neuroscience (神经科学) indicates that, painful as the practice can seem for people unaccustomed to it, this may be the right way to start the day for maximum human performance. Rising early is an especially effective resolution because it tends to enable the achievement of other goals. For example, new evidence suggests that rising early makes it easier to build good habits, because the goal-directed brain regions work better at this time than later in the day. But what do you need to do to develop this habit? The first part is going to bed early enough so that you can get sufficient sleep. This probably seems like an easy habit to keep, but for many young adults it isn’t. The problem is what psychologists call “revenge bedtime procrastination,” in which they stay up late as a form of resistance against their own inner authority. One reason people struggle to rise early is because they aren’t required to do so. Even if you don’t have to start your work or studies early, you can still inspire yourself to get up by making a conscious commitment to accomplish something of value. In Meditations (沉思录), Marcus Aurelius writes that when you find yourself unwilling to rise in the morning, you should consider that it is to go about a man’s work that you are inspired to rise. So choose a deed that will stir (激发) you up. Make your predawn the best moment in your day by expressing it in existential terms: The discomfort of rising early bears witness to your being truly alive. Spend that precious time without devices, so that you can explore deep thoughts about the big questions of life. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The benefits of getting up early. B. The reasons why people fail to rise early. C. The historical origins of early rising. D. The impact of early rising on physical health. 13. Why do many young adults find it hard to sleep early according to paragraph 3? A. They have got adequate sleep. B. They work under a lot of stress. C. They have an urge to avoid boredom. D. They want to escape their inner authority. 14. What can we learn from what Marcus Aurelius writes? A. Reading is key to waking up early. B. Philosophers value work over sleep. C. Setting a goal motivates people to get up. D. Work schedules determine waking habits. 15. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Establishing a predawn routine. B. Praying before sunrise. C. Sleeping less to feel alive. D. Finding inner peace. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了早起床的好处及如何能够早起床。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第二段内容，结合第二段关键句“Rising early is an especially effective resolution because it tends to enable the achievement of other goals. (早起是一种特别有效的解决方案，因为它往往有助于实现其他目标。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了早起的好处，例如，早起有助于实现其他目标，由此可知，第二段主要讲了早起的好处。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“This probably seems like an easy habit to keep, but for many young adults it isn’t. The problem is what psychologists call “revenge bedtime procrastination,” in which they stay up late as a form of resistance against their own inner authority. (这似乎是一个很容易养成的习惯，但对许多年轻人来说却不是。问题是心理学家所说的“报复性睡前拖延症”，他们熬夜是对自己内在权威的一种抵抗。)”可知，许多年轻人熬夜是对自己内在权威的一种抵抗，他们想要摆脱内心的权威，由此可知，许多年轻人很难早睡是因为他们想要摆脱内心的权威。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段关键句“In Meditations (沉思录), Marcus Aurelius writes that when you find yourself unwilling to rise in the morning, you should consider that it is to go about a man’s work that you are inspired to rise. So choose a deed that will stir (激发) you up. (在《沉思录》中，Marcus Aurelius写道，当你发现自己不愿意早上起床时，你应该考虑到，是一个人的工作激励了你起床。所以，选择一件能激励你的事。)”可知，Marcus Aurelius认为选择一件能激励你的事，你会有目标，这可以帮助你起床，由此可知，我们能从Marcus Aurelius的著作中了解到设定目标会激励人们起床。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Make your predawn the best moment in your day by expressing it in existential terms: The discomfort of rising early bears witness to your being truly alive. Spend that precious time without devices, so that you can explore deep thoughts about the big questions of life. (用存在主义的术语来表达，让黎明前成为你一天中最美好的时刻：早起的不适证明了你真正活着。把宝贵的时间花在没有设备的情况下，这样你就可以探索关于生活中大问题的深刻思考。)”可知，最后一段建议将黎明前的时间视为最佳时刻，建立远离电子设备的早起常规，用于深度思考。A项“建立黎明前的惯例”直接概括这一建议。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The power of positive thinking is so important that it can make or break an individual. ____16____ Your actions then translate into whether or not you could succeed in your field, as well as influence the quality of your personal relationships and finally how you view the world at large. Positive thinking can be developed by the following suggestions: ●Take control of your state. ____17____ Take control of your physiology (生理机能) by taking full pride in how you present yourself and then do positive thinking. The key is to hold your body in a power pose after which positive thinking will flow more freely. ●____18____ Your mindset governs what thoughts flow through your head and how you feel and react to each one of them. If your mindset is poor, everything around you will also seem to be worse. By consciously choosing to focus on positive moments, you reframe your thoughts, developing a mindset that is open rather than closed off. ●Study your habits and form new ones. You will not be able to form new habits and make use of the power of positive thinking if you are totally unaware of your current ones. ____19____ If you do give in to these negative thoughts, you might not fail but you will stop making progress, which is even worse. So, instead of moving into the pattern of negative thoughts, you can completely reemphasize your energy by developing empowering habits that do encourage positive thinking. ●Look to those you admire ____20____ Maybe he is a close friend, family member or someone you have never met, like a celebrity, a professional athlete or a famous businessman. They do use the power of positive thinking to find the success they seek and you can, too. A. Adjust your mindset. B. Maintain your mentality. C. Your thoughts affect your actions. D. Are there situations that set you into self-doubt? E. Think of someone who has a profound impact on your life. F. Do you find this aspect of positive thinking very powerful? G. Positive thinking is as much about your body as it is about your mind. 【答案】16. C 17. G 18. A 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这篇一篇说明文。文章讲述了积极思考的力量，以及如何培养积极思考的习惯。 【16题详解】 前文“The power of positive thinking is so important that it can make or break an individual.(积极思考的力量非常重要，它可以成就或摧毁一个人。)”讲的是积极思考的重要性，后文“Your actions then translate into whether or not you could succeed in your field, as well as influence the quality of your personal relationships and finally how you view the world at large.(你的行为会影响到你是否能在你的领域取得成功，也会影响到你人际关系的质量，最终影响到你如何看待整个世界。)”说明行动的影响，此处需要一个过渡句，连接积极思考和行动之间的关系。选项C“你的思想影响你的行动”，正好符合这个逻辑，故选C。 【17题详解】 后文“Take control of your physiology (生理机能) by taking full pride in how you present yourself and then do positive thinking. The key is to hold your body in a power pose after which positive thinking will flow more freely.(控制好自己的生理机能，对自己的表现方式充满自豪，然后积极思考。关键是保持你的身体在一个力量的姿态之后，积极的想法会更自由地流动。)”在讲身体和思维的关系，选项G“积极思考既关乎身体也关乎头脑”，符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 后文“Your mindset governs what thoughts flow through your head and how you feel and react to each one of them. If your mindset is poor, everything around you will also seem to be worse. By consciously choosing to focus on positive moments, you reframe your thoughts, developing a mindset that is open rather than closed off.(你的心态决定了你脑子里的想法，以及你对每一个想法的感受和反应。如果你的心态不好，你周围的一切也会变得更糟。通过有意识地选择关注积极的时刻，你可以重塑你的思想，培养一种开放而不是封闭的心态。)”讲的是心态的重要性。要及时调整心态，这里的小标题应该与调整心态有关，选项A“调整你的心态”，概括本段。故选A。 【19题详解】 前文“You will not be able to form new habits and make use of the power of positive thinking if you are totally unaware of your current ones.(如果你完全不知道你现在的习惯，你将无法形成新的习惯，也无法利用积极思考的力量。)”说明要意识到当前的习惯，有没有不好的习惯，后文“If you do give in to these negative thoughts, you might not fail but you will stop making progress, which is even worse.(如果你真的屈服于这些消极的想法，你可能不会失败，但你会停止进步，这更糟糕。)”提到可能屈服于消极思想，导致停止进步。这里的问题应该是在问是否有消极思想存在，选项D“有没有让你陷入自我怀疑的情况？”提到一种消极思想，符合语境。故选D。 20题详解】 标题“Look to those you admire.(向你敬佩的人学习)”和后文例子“Maybe he is a close friend, family member or someone you have never met, like a celebrity, a professional athlete or a famous businessman.(也许他是一个亲密的朋友、家人或你从未见过的人，比如名人、职业运动员或著名商人。)”提到向你敬佩的朋友、家人或名人学习。这里需要一个引出例子的句子，选项E“想一个对你生活有深远影响的人”，符合语境。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Minnie’s family had been traveling for five months in a wagon (马车), aiming to start a new life in Oregon City.

B James Herriot was the pen name of James Alfred Wight, a British vet (兽医) and author whose tales of life as a country vet in the Yorkshire Dales have entertained readers worldwide for decades. Born on 3 October 1916 in Sunderland, Wight’s journey to becoming one of Britain’s best-loved authors began with his graduation from Glasgow Veterinary College in 1939. After completing his studies, he returned to England to begin his career as a vet in Yorkshire, where he would practise for nearly half a century. Despite his early ambitions to become an author, Wight’s demanding schedule as a rural vet left little time to write. It wasn’t until 1965, at the age of 50 and with encouragement from his wife, Joan, that he began to seriously pursue his writing. Wight’s first attempts were met with rejection. However a helpful suggestion from a publisher of writing in the first person, given that his stories were based on real-life experiences, led to his breakthrough. In 1970, under the pen name James Herriot, Wight published his first book If Only They Could Talk. After that, he launched many hugely popular books that would go on to sell some 60 million copies worldwide. His books paint a vivid picture of rural life, grasping the essence of the people, the animals, and the landscape with warmth, humour, and keen human observation. His sharp, often unique observations into the relationships between animals and their owners form a central theme in his work. And he reflects the changes in veterinary practice over the years, alongside shifts in agriculture and British society. Even long after his books brought him fame and fortune, Wight continued his veterinary practice in Yorkshire, only retiring in the late 1980s. He passed away on 23 February 1995, leaving behind a rich legacy (遗产) of literature that continues to attract readers — and inspire new generations of vets. 4. What caused Wight to engage in writing seriously? A. His demanding schedule. B. His early ambitions. C. His wife’s encouragement. D. His college education. 5. What made Wight achieve a breakthrough in writing? A. Using a new pen name. B. Switching to the first-person point of view. C. Paying attention to real life. D. Getting praise from a publisher. 6. What is a central theme of Wight’s books? A. His medical practice in Yorkshire. B. The beautiful landscape in rural areas. C. Shifts in agriculture and British society. D. Bonds between rural people and animals. 7. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. James Wight — A country vet and a celebrated author B. James Wight — An author advocating animal protection C. James Wight — A writer struggling for fame and fortune D. James Wight — One of Britain’s best-loved country vets C If all 620 million kilograms of electronic waste the world produces in a year were loaded into garbage trucks, they’d encircle the planet, according to a recent United Nations report. And hidden in that massive traffic jam would be astonishing amounts of precious metals, including gold - crucial in electronics because it conducts electricity and stretches into wires. But separating precious metals from waste electronics is a difficult business. Using energy-intensive recycling facilities, e-waste is processed with punishing heat. This approach then requires complex electrochemical processes and poisonous treatments to recover valuable metal elements. The search for environmentally friendlier methods that skip those additional steps has led materials scientists down some unusual ways. An experimental sponge (海绵) combines graphene oxide (氧化石墨烯) with chitosan (壳聚糖) to separate out gold. Because chitosan automatically attaches to graphene oxide, the sponge essentially builds itself. In their early experiments the study authors used the sponge to filter (过滤) water that contained gold ions (离子). The ions reacted with the chitosan, which helped to transform the gold back into its original metal state. The researchers also tested the sponge on partially processed e-waste; when they increased the acidity of the liquid to a pH of 3, the sponge’s chitosan held the remaining gold while ignoring other metals. The new material is one of the most potent gold-catching substances ever created. The sponge collected up to 99.5 percent of the gold by weight from liquids with gold concentrations as low as three parts per million. “This is a record-high value,” says ETH Zürich physicist Raffaele Mezzenga. He notes that the materials needed to make it aren’t cheap, and he questions whether it would be a workable option “under real operating conditions”. Adapting the technique for industrial production, say study co-authors Daria Andreeva-Baeumler and Konstantin Novoselov, “is indeed the next step in our research.” 8. What is the challenge in pulling precious metals from electronic waste? A. Global climate change. B. Tough recycling process. C. Low metal concentration. D. The conductivity of metals. 9. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A. The details of the experiments. B. The pH of liquids used in the lab. C. The reaction between metals. D. The necessity of recycling e-waste. 10. What does the underlined word “potent” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Expensive. B. Efficient. C. Environmental. D. Extensive. 11. What is the next step of the research? A. Reducing the cost of the experiments. B. Finding cheaper alternative materials. C. Making the technique meet industrial needs. D. Improving the environmental friendliness of the sponge. D Behavioral scientists have long shown that setting a small resolution for a day’s work motivates teams and individuals as well. And so it is when building your life. I have one particular, very achievable commitment in mind that will help you become happier and improve your health and effectiveness: This year, start getting up early. To rise before dawn sounds ascetic (苦行的). Modern neuroscience (神经科学) indicates that, painful as the practice can seem for people unaccustomed to it, this may be the right way to start the day for maximum human performance. Rising early is an especially effective resolution because it tends to enable the achievement of other goals. For example, new evidence suggests that rising early makes it easier to build good habits, because the goal-directed brain regions work better at this time than later in the day. But what do you need to do to develop this habit? The first part is going to bed early enough so that you can get sufficient sleep. This probably seems like an easy habit to keep, but for many young adults it isn’t. The problem is what psychologists call “revenge bedtime procrastination,” in which they stay up late as a form of resistance against their own inner authority. One reason people struggle to rise early is because they aren’t required to do so. Even if you don’t have to start your work or studies early, you can still inspire yourself to get up by making a conscious commitment to accomplish something of value. In Meditations (沉思录), Marcus Aurelius writes that when you find yourself unwilling to rise in the morning, you should consider that it is to go about a man’s work that you are inspired to rise. So choose a deed that will stir (激发) you up. Make your predawn the best moment in your day by expressing it in existential terms: The discomfort of rising early bears witness to your being truly alive. Spend that precious time without devices, so that you can explore deep thoughts about the big questions of life. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The benefits of getting up early. B. The reasons why people fail to rise early. C. The historical origins of early rising. D. The impact of early rising on physical health. 13. Why do many young adults find it hard to sleep early according to paragraph 3? A. They have got adequate sleep. B. They work under a lot of stress. C. They have an urge to avoid boredom. D. They want to escape their inner authority. 14. What can we learn from what Marcus Aurelius writes? A. Reading is key to waking up early. B. Philosophers value work over sleep. C. Setting a goal motivates people to get up. D. Work schedules determine waking habits. 15. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Establishing a predawn routine. B. Praying before sunrise. C. Sleeping less to feel alive. D. Finding inner peace. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The power of positive thinking is so important that it can make or break an individual. ____16____ Your actions then translate into whether or not you could succeed in your field, as well as influence the quality of your personal relationships and finally how you view the world at large.
