B Chinese young gun Yang Qian claimed the first gold of the Tokyo Olympics with a victory in women’s 10 m air rifle (气步枪) on July 24 in Tokyo, Japan. Russian markswoman Anastasiia Galashina took the silver and Nina Christen of Switzerland bagged the bronze. Yang, who was ranked sixth in the qualification, scored 251.8 points in the final, beating Galashina’s 251.1 points to set off Team China to a fine start in Tokyo. Trailing by a mere 0.1 point ahead of the final two shots, Yang saw the gap widen despite a 10.7-point shot, as her rival made an impressive 10.8. However, when it came to the last shot that would define the eventual champion, Galashina surprisingly shot for 8.9 points, and lost the Olympic title to Yang, who had a 9.8. “I am very happy and proud to win this gold,” said the 21-year-old in a calm tone. The result set the standard for future Olympic competitors as Tokyo 2020 is the first games under new competition rules for the event. “I was extremely nervous before the final shot, and all I could do was to calm down,” the young Olympic champion recalled. “I wasn’t as calm as I appeared to be. During the qualification and the final I kept adjusting my mentality (心态) gradually, trying to shake the pressure off me, and I think I did well in doing so.” Yang had to stand up to a long wait for other shooters to finish their shots before reaching the final. The favored Indian duo, world record holder，Apurvi Chandela and world No.1 Elavenil Valarivan, bowed out after the 60-shot qualification round. Norwegian Jeanette Hegg Duestad was the dark horse in the qualification, setting an Olympic record of 632.9 points. But the 22-year-old narrowly missed the medals in the final. 24. What is the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To show the course of the shooting event. B. To state the events of the Tokyo Olympics. C. To introduce the result of the shooting event. D. To explain the competition rules of the Olympics. 25. What does the underlined word “Trailing” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Scoring. B. Measuring. C. Winning. D. Losing. 26. What can we infer from Yang’s words? A. She was too nervous to keep calm. B. It was difficult to defeat her opponents. C. Being mentally calm is crucial to her success. D. She narrowly won the gold due to a mistake. 27. Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from? A. Education and culture. B. Sports and health. C. Science and technology. D. Nature and geography. C Good sportsmanship is the practice of engaging in sports with a spirit of fairness, respect, and good manners, regardless of the competitive pressure. It represents the spirit of playing by the rules, honoring both teammates and opponents, and exhibiting grace whether in victory or defeat. The significance of good sportsmanship extends far beyond the playing field. It is vital for maintaining the spirit and integrity of sports. Athletes who exemplify good sportsmanship help to create a competitive but friendly environment that enhances the enjoyment of the game for everyone involved: players, coaches, officials, and so on. Firstly, good sportsmanship promotes a positive atmosphere that encourages everyone to participate and give their best. It fosters (促进) a sense of community and teamwork, which are crucial for collective success in team sports. When athletes display respect and fairness, it helps to build trust and strengthens relationships among team members, which can translate into better performance and more cohesive play. Secondly, good sportsmanship serves as a model for younger athletes, who look up to higher-level players as role models. The behaviors exhibited by these role models can significantly influence the attitudes and actions of younger participants towards the sport and competition in general. By practicing good sportsmanship, experienced athletes set a standard for upcoming generations, teaching them that success is not just about winning but how you play the game. Moreover, good sportsmanship is essential for the reputation and sustainability of sports. Negative behavior or unsportsmanlike conduct can harm public opinion of a sport and can lead to decreased participation rates, sponsorship, and support. In contrast, sports characterized by high levels of sportsmanship are more likely to be viewed positively, attracting more players and audience, and increasing the overall reach and impact of the sport. In this way, good sportsmanship not only enhances personal and team success but also upholds the dignity and appeal of sports as a whole. It ensures that sports remain a valuable tool for teaching important life skills such as respect, and teamwork. 28. What does paragraph 1 want to tell us? A. The true meaning of sportsmanship. B. Good manners on the sports fields. C The significance of joining sports games. D. Competitions between teammates and opponents. 29. Why is good sportsmanship beneficial to younger athletes? A. It enhances their involvement. B. It sets a good example to them. C. It teaches them how to play well. D. It creates a competitive environment. 30. Why does the author mention negative behavior in sports? A. To show a common phenomenon. B. To introduce a clear comparison. C. To criticize bad behaviour in sports. D. To warn us of unsportsmanlike conduct. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. What Does Sportsmanship Include? B. How Can We Become Good Athletes? C. Why Does Sportsmanship Matter? D. When Does Teamwork Get Reflected? D In a recent study, scientists in Chicago placed seismometers (地震仪) on the McMurdo Ice Shelf and recorded hundreds of thousands of tiny “ice quakes” that appear to be caused by pools of partially melted ice expanding and freezing at night. The phenomenon may be able to help scientists track glacier melting. “In these areas we would record tens, hundreds, up to thousands of these per night, ” said study co-author Douglas MacAyeal, a professor of geophysical sciences and glaciologist, who has been traveling to the Antarctic to study the behavior of ice and snow for decades. Climate change is causing the Antarctic ice to melt, but glaciologists are still mapping how, where and why. There is much we still don’t understand about the process. MacAyeal and the team were interested in the role of “quakes” on the floating ice shelves and the melting and breakup of ice. The team set up seismometers for 60 days during the melt season in two locations on the McMurdo Ice Shelf. One was drier; the other was slushier (泥泞的) , with pools of melted water forming and refreezing. The wetter location, they found, was alive with quakes at night. “In these ponds, there’s often a layer of ice with melted water below, like you see with a lake that’s only frozen on top,” MacAyeal explained. “As the temperature cools at night, the ice on the top contracts (收缩) and the water below expands as it undergoes freezing.” The discovery adds an important piece to our understanding of the physics and processes around melting ponds on ice shelves—especially if it can help researchers remotely keep track of the Antarctic melting. 32. Why do scientists in Chicago use seismometers in the Antarctic? A. To accurately predict big earthquakes. B. To record tiny ice quakes for research. C. To prove the reasons for ice expanding. D. To present the process of glacier melting. 33. What do MacAyeal and the team want to know? A. What effects the small quakes have on ice. B. What has resulted in the Antarctic melting. C. What role the Antarctic has played on Earth. D. What caused the Antarctic to be covered by glaciers. 34. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. High temperatures result in ice melting. B. Water tends to get frozen in the deep water at night. C. There are almost no quakes happening in a dry location. D. The research will be beneficial to protecting the Antarctic. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. A study about ice quakes. B. An introduction to a new device. C. An inspiring story about scientists. D. An adventurous experience in the Antarctic. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。 When Failure Is a Good Thing Failure is an important process you can learn from.____36____ Most people view failure as something that should be avoided at all costs____37____It may have been an “F” we received on a paper or the high expectations our parents placed upon our shoulders that stopped us from trying. Award-winning psychologist and author, Ron Friedman, tells the story of how Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, revolutionized the women's clothing industry and became a billionaire in his book, The Best Place To Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace. ____38____ She had zero experience in the clothing industry, lacked an education in business and raised only $5,000 to invest.

When interviewed by CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sara said, “Instead of failure being the outcome, failure became not trying. It forced me at a young age to want to push myself so much further out of my comfort zone.” ____39____ It became more about learning and less about a personal weakness. If we view failure as weakness, we avoid stepping out of our comfort zone. ____40____ It does not define us, but instead matures us. I 'm sure that there are many risks we would all take in our personal, professional and spiritual lives if we could get past a fear of failure. What has been the greatest lesson you have learned when taking a chance? Please share with us. A. And, most importantly, it means you tried. B. Let's take a look at how Sara faced failures. C. In reality, Sara's father had re-defined failure. D. Early on, Sara overcame a series of difficulties. E. Instead, we must remind ourselves that failure is an action. F. It is important to reflect on what can be learnt from failure. G.

Never give up!” chanted two young children, Max and Lily, as they marched barefoot behind their grandmother Mimi who was leading them on a great adventure, straight off the beach where they had spent the day building sand castles and swimming in the sea. They were seeking the mysterious ice-cream truck! Over the years Mimi had become an example of positivity for her family. It was not a title she earned without effort, however. Her husband died early and at only forty years old she was left to raise her daughter alone. She faced the heart-breaking disaster powerful enough. She could have lived under a black cloud. But she challenged herself to find joy every day instead. She was always up for a new challenge, whether that was hiking across the rocky mountain in Austria to get a better view of the breathtaking scenery, or signing up for tap-dancing classes at fifty. Leading by example, Mimi taught her daughter just how much one could achieve with a positive attitude. And obviously she had taken the same approach in her relationship with her grandchildren as well. Before starting her adventure with Max and Lily on that hot July afternoon, Mimi heard the ice-cream man’s bell from her beach chair. She turned and saw him briefly, spotting his green shirt and catching the sight of his waving bell before he turned and disappeared. The ice-cream man visited the beach on a daily basis, although the delay between the sound of his bell and the disappearance of his truck was not long. One must be quick to catch him. Max and Lily were disappointed when they didn’t catch him in time that day. That was until Mimi’s eyes shone and she said, “Never give up!” She explained that the truck might be gone, but they could hurry up to find it at its next stop. They walked block after block. Not knowing which direction the truck had taken, they had to make their best guess about where to search. The kids’ tiny legs were tired, but they went on, continuing the chant, “Never give up! Never give up!” 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好。 After about twenty minutes of walking, Max’s faith started to get shaken in the burning sun. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just two blocks later, they found it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 贵阳市观山湖区第一高级中学2024-2025学年度第一学期 9月月考高二英语试卷 (考试时间：2024年9月27日晚20: 30-22: 30 考试时长：120分钟) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分：听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the woman’s next task?

Russian markswoman Anastasiia Galashina took the silver and Nina Christen of Switzerland bagged the bronze. Yang, who was ranked sixth in the qualification, scored 251.8 points in the final, beating Galashina’s 251.1 points to set off Team China to a fine start in Tokyo. Trailing by a mere 0.1 point ahead of the final two shots, Yang saw the gap widen despite a 10.7-point shot, as her rival made an impressive 10.8. However, when it came to the last shot that would define the eventual champion, Galashina surprisingly shot for 8.9 points, and lost the Olympic title to Yang, who had a 9.8. “I am very happy and proud to win this gold,” said the 21-year-old in a calm tone. The result set the standard for future Olympic competitors as Tokyo 2020 is the first games under new competition rules for the event. “I was extremely nervous before the final shot, and all I could do was to calm down,” the young Olympic champion recalled. “I wasn’t as calm as I appeared to be. During the qualification and the final I kept adjusting my mentality (心态) gradually, trying to shake the pressure off me, and I think I did well in doing so.” Yang had to stand up to a long wait for other shooters to finish their shots before reaching the final. The favored Indian duo, world record holder，Apurvi Chandela and world No.1 Elavenil Valarivan, bowed out after the 60-shot qualification round. Norwegian Jeanette Hegg Duestad was the dark horse in the qualification, setting an Olympic record of 632.9 points. But the 22-year-old narrowly missed the medals in the final. 24. What is the purpose of paragraph 1? A. To show the course of the shooting event. B. To state the events of the Tokyo Olympics. C. To introduce the result of the shooting event. D. To explain the competition rules of the Olympics. 25. What does the underlined word “Trailing” probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Scoring. B. Measuring. C. Winning. D. Losing. 26. What can we infer from Yang’s words? A. She was too nervous to keep calm. B. It was difficult to defeat her opponents. C. Being mentally calm is crucial to her success. D. She narrowly won the gold due to a mistake. 27. Which section of a magazine is this text probably taken from? A. Education and culture. B. Sports and health. C. Science and technology. D. Nature and geography. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在东京奥运会十米气步枪的项目中，中国参赛选手杨倩取得世界冠军的过程。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第一、二句话“Russian markswoman Anastasiia Galashina took the silver and Nina Christen of Switzerland bagged the bronze. Yang, who was ranked sixth in the qualification, scored 251.8 points in the final, beating Galashina’s 251.1 points to set off Team China to a fine start in Tokyo.(俄罗斯神射手阿纳斯塔西娅·加拉什娜获得银牌，瑞士的尼娜·克里斯滕获得铜牌。在预选赛中排名第六的杨倩在决赛中获得了251.8分，击败了加拉什纳的251.1分，为中国队在东京的比赛带来了一个良好的开局)”可知，第一段主要介绍了在东京奥运会十米气步枪的项目中冠亚季军的比赛成绩，因此第一段的主要目的是介绍射击成绩。故选C项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Yang saw the gap widen despite a 10.7-point shot, as her rival made an impressive 10.8. (尽管杨打出了10.7分，但差距越来越大，而她的对手打出了令人印象深刻的10.8分)”可知，杨倩落后对手0.1分。由此推知，划线词Trailing与losing意思接近。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句话“I wasn’t as calm as I appeared to be. During the qualification and the final I kept adjusting my mentality gradually, trying to shake the pressure off me, and I think I did well in doing so.(我并不像表面上那么冷静。在资格赛和决赛期间，我一直在逐渐调整自己的心态，试图摆脱压力，我认为我做得很好)”可知，杨倩的内心是不平静的，但是她一直在努力调整自己的心态，所以可以推断出杨倩的言外之意是：有良好的心态对于比赛夺冠是至关重要的。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章首句“Chinese young gun Yang Qian claimed the first gold of the Tokyo Olympics with a victory in women’s 10 m air rifle on July 24 in Tokyo, Japan.(7月24日，在日本东京举行的女子10米气步枪比赛中，中国青年选手杨倩获得了东京奥运会的首枚金牌)”可知，文章开篇点题。文章讲述了在东京奥运会十米气步枪的项目中，中国参赛选手杨倩取得世界冠军的过程。由此推知，文章最有可能来源于体育与健康相关的杂志。故选B项。 C Good sportsmanship is the practice of engaging in sports with a spirit of fairness, respect, and good manners, regardless of the competitive pressure. It represents the spirit of playing by the rules, honoring both teammates and opponents, and exhibiting grace whether in victory or defeat. The significance of good sportsmanship extends far beyond the playing field. It is vital for maintaining the spirit and integrity of sports. Athletes who exemplify good sportsmanship help to create a competitive but friendly environment that enhances the enjoyment of the game for everyone involved: players, coaches, officials, and so on. Firstly, good sportsmanship promotes a positive atmosphere that encourages everyone to participate and give their best. It fosters (促进) a sense of community and teamwork, which are crucial for collective success in team sports. When athletes display respect and fairness, it helps to build trust and strengthens relationships among team members, which can translate into better performance and more cohesive play. Secondly, good sportsmanship serves as a model for younger athletes, who look up to higher-level players as role models. The behaviors exhibited by these role models can significantly influence the attitudes and actions of younger participants towards the sport and competition in general. By practicing good sportsmanship, experienced athletes set a standard for upcoming generations, teaching them that success is not just about winning but how you play the game. Moreover, good sportsmanship is essential for the reputation and sustainability of sports. Negative behavior or unsportsmanlike conduct can harm public opinion of a sport and can lead to decreased participation rates, sponsorship, and support. In contrast, sports characterized by high levels of sportsmanship are more likely to be viewed positively, attracting more players and audience, and increasing the overall reach and impact of the sport. In this way, good sportsmanship not only enhances personal and team success but also upholds the dignity and appeal of sports as a whole. It ensures that sports remain a valuable tool for teaching important life skills such as respect, and teamwork. 28. What does paragraph 1 want to tell us? A. The true meaning of sportsmanship. B. Good manners on the sports fields. C. The significance of joining sports games. D. Competitions between teammates and opponents. 29. Why is good sportsmanship beneficial to younger athletes? A. It enhances their involvement. B. It sets a good example to them. C. It teaches them how to play well. D. It creates a competitive environment. 30. Why does the author mention negative behavior in sports? A. To show a common phenomenon. B. To introduce a clear comparison. C. To criticize bad behaviour in sports. D. To warn us of unsportsmanlike conduct. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. What Does Sportsmanship Include? B. How Can We Become Good Athletes? C. Why Does Sportsmanship Matter? D. When Does Teamwork Get Reflected? 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了良好体育精神的重要性，包括其对运动环境、年轻运动员的榜样作用、以及对体育声誉和可持续性的影响。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Good sportsmanship is the practice of engaging in sports with a spirit of fairness, respect, and good manners, regardless of the competitive pressure. It represents the spirit of playing by the rules, honoring both teammates and opponents, and exhibiting grace whether in victory or defeat. The significance of good sportsmanship extends far beyond the playing field. It is vital for maintaining the spirit and integrity of sports.(良好的体育精神是指不顾竞争压力，以公平、尊重和礼貌的精神参与体育运动。它代表了按规则比赛的精神，尊重队友和对手，无论胜利还是失败都表现出优雅。良好的体育精神的重要性远远超出了赛场。这对保持体育运动的精神和完整性至关重要)”可知，第一段主要介绍了体育精神真正的含义。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Secondly, good sportsmanship serves as a model for younger athletes, who look up to higher-level players as role models.(其次，良好的体育精神是年轻运动员的榜样，他们以高水平运动员为榜样)”可知，良好的体育精神对年轻运动员是有益的，因为它为他们树立了好榜样。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Negative behavior or unsportsmanlike conduct can harm public opinion of a sport and can lead to decreased participation rates, sponsorship, and support.(消极的行为或不符合体育道德的行为会损害公众对一项运动的看法，并可能导致参与率、赞助和支持的下降)”及最后一段中的“In contrast, sports characterized by high levels of sportsmanship are more likely to be viewed positively, attracting more players and audience, and increasing the overall reach and impact of the sport.(相比之下，以高水平的体育精神为特征的运动更有可能被积极看待，吸引更多的运动员和观众，并增加这项运动的整体范围和影响)”可推知，作者提及运动中的消极行为的目的是将体育精神与之对比，突出良好体育精神对体育运动的积极影响。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Good sportsmanship is the practice of engaging in sports with a spirit of fairness, respect, and good manners, regardless of the competitive pressure. It represents the spirit of playing by the rules, honoring both teammates and opponents, and exhibiting grace whether in victory or defeat.

The phenomenon may be able to help scientists track glacier melting. “In these areas we would record tens, hundreds, up to thousands of these per night, ” said study co-author Douglas MacAyeal, a professor of geophysical sciences and glaciologist, who has been traveling to the Antarctic to study the behavior of ice and snow for decades. Climate change is causing the Antarctic ice to melt, but glaciologists are still mapping how, where and why. There is much we still don’t understand about the process. MacAyeal and the team were interested in the role of “quakes” on the floating ice shelves and the melting and breakup of ice. The team set up seismometers for 60 days during the melt season in two locations on the McMurdo Ice Shelf. One was drier; the other was slushier (泥泞的) , with pools of melted water forming and refreezing. The wetter location, they found, was alive with quakes at night. “In these ponds, there’s often a layer of ice with melted water below, like you see with a lake that’s only frozen on top,” MacAyeal explained. “As the temperature cools at night, the ice on the top contracts (收缩) and the water below expands as it undergoes freezing.” The discovery adds an important piece to our understanding of the physics and processes around melting ponds on ice shelves—especially if it can help researchers remotely keep track of the Antarctic melting. 32. Why do scientists in Chicago use seismometers in the Antarctic? A. To accurately predict big earthquakes. B To record tiny ice quakes for research. C. To prove the reasons for ice expanding. D. To present the process of glacier melting. 33. What do MacAyeal and the team want to know? A. What effects the small quakes have on ice. B. What has resulted in the Antarctic melting. C. What role the Antarctic has played on Earth. D. What caused the Antarctic to be covered by glaciers. 34. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. High temperatures result in ice melting. B. Water tends to get frozen in the deep water at night. C. There are almost no quakes happening in a dry location. D. The research will be beneficial to protecting the Antarctic. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. A study about ice quakes. B. An introduction to a new device. C. An inspiring story about scientists. D. An adventurous experience in the Antarctic. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了芝加哥的科学家在麦克默多冰架上放置地震仪记录微小“冰震”的研究，这些冰震似乎是由部分融化的冰池在夜间膨胀和冻结引起的，该现象有助于科学家追踪冰川融化。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In a recent study, scientists in Chicago placed seismometers (地震仪) on the McMurdo Ice Shelf and recorded hundreds of thousands of tiny “ice quakes” that appear to be caused by pools of partially melted ice expanding and freezing at night. (在最近的一项研究中，芝加哥的科学家在麦克默多冰架上放置了地震仪，记录了数十万次微小的“冰震”，这些冰震似乎是由部分融化的冰池在夜间膨胀和冻结引起的)”可知，芝加哥的科学家在南极使用地震仪是为了记录微小的冰震以进行研究。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“MacAyeal and the team were interested in the role of “quakes” on the floating ice shelves and the melting and breakup of ice.

Award-winning psychologist and author, Ron Friedman, tells the story of how Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, revolutionized the women's clothing industry and became a billionaire in his book, The Best Place To Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace. ____38____ She had zero experience in the clothing industry, lacked an education in business and raised only $5,000 to invest. When asked where she found the courage, she gave all credit to her dad. While most parents ask their kids, “How was your day?" when sitting down for dinner, Sara's parents asked her and her brother, “What did you fail at today?” each and every night. When interviewed by CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sara said, “Instead of failure being the outcome, failure became not trying. It forced me at a young age to want to push myself so much further out of my comfort zone.” ____39____ It became more about learning and less about a personal weakness. If we view failure as weakness, we avoid stepping out of our comfort zone. ____40____ It does not define us, but instead matures us. I 'm sure that there are many risks we would all take in our personal, professional and spiritual lives if we could get past a fear of failure. What has been the greatest lesson you have learned when taking a chance? Please share with us. A. And, most importantly, it means you tried. B. Let's take a look at how Sara faced failures. C. In reality, Sara's father had re-defined failure. D. Early on, Sara overcame a series of difficulties. E. Instead, we must remind ourselves that failure is an action. F. It is important to reflect on what can be learnt from failure. G We tend to connect failure with a bad experience we had as a child. 【答案】36. A 37. G 38. D 39. C 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Spanx的创始人Sara Blakely的故事来告诉我们该如何对待失败。Sara Blakely的父亲重新定义了失败，他让孩子明白，失败并不是最终结果，而只是缺乏尝试。失败没有定义我们，而是让我们成长，让我们脱离舒适区并变成一个更优秀的人。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Failure is an important process you can learn from.(失败是一个重要的过程，你可以从中学习)”可知，上文提出失败重要的是过程，从中学习，推测本句承接上文继续说明失败的重要意义：这意味着你尽力了。故A选项“最重要的是，这意味着你尽力了”符合语境，故选A。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Most people view failure as something that should be avoided at all costs.(大多数人认为应该不惜一切代价避免失败)”以及后文“It may have been an “F” we received on a paper or the high expectations our parents placed upon our shoulders that stopped us from trying.(也许是我们的试卷得了个“F”，或者是父母对我们寄予的厚望阻止了我们去尝试)”可知，人们认为失败是生活中无论如何都要避免的东西，后几句讲述的是我们小时候的一些失败，故推测本句在讲人们对失败的看法，故G选项“我们往往把失败和我们小时候的糟糕经历联系起来”符合语境，故选G。 【38题详解】 根据后文“She had zero experience in the clothing industry, lacked an education in business and raised only $5,000 to invest. When asked where she found the courage, she gave all credit to her dad. While most parents ask their kids, “How was your day?" when sitting down for dinner, Sara's parents asked her and her brother, “What did you fail at today?” each and every night.(她在服装行业没有任何经验，没有接受过商业教育，也只筹集到了5000美元用于投资。当被问及她勇气来自何处时，她把一切归功于她的父亲。当大多数父母问他们的孩子，“你今天过得怎么样？”当坐下来吃晚饭时，萨拉的父母每天晚上问她和她的兄弟“你们今天失败了什么？”)” 可知，后文说Sara在服装业没有经验，没有商业的学习经历，也没有钱投资，她只有她父亲的教诲，“你今天失败了什么”，可知这一段并在讲Sara经历的困难。故D选项“早期，Sara克服了一系列的困难”符合语境，故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“When interviewed by CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sara said, “Instead of failure being the outcome, failure became not trying. It forced me at a young age to want to push myself so much further out of my comfort zone.”(在接受CNN的安德森·库珀采访时，萨拉说：“失败不是结果，而是不去尝试。它迫使我在很小的时候就想要把自己推得远远的离开我的舒适区。”)”以及后文“It became more about learning and less about a personal weakness. (它更多的是关于学习，而不是一个人的弱点)”可知，空前说，失败并非结果，而是一种不愿尝试的想法，讲的是失败的定义；空后说，失败更多是关于吸取教训，而非个人弱点，讲的也是失败的定义。此外，这种失败的定义让Sara脱离了自己的舒适圈，所以这里在说Sara父亲重新定义的失败对Sara的影响。故C选项“在现实中，Sara的父亲重新定义了失败”符合语境，故选C。 【40题详解】 根据上文“If we view failure as weakness, we avoid stepping out of our comfort zone.(如果我们把失败看成软弱，我们就会避免走出自己的舒适区)”以及后文“It does not define us, but instead matures us. I 'm sure that there are many risks we would all take in our personal, professional and spiritual lives if we could get past a fear of failure.(它不能定义我们，反而使我们成熟。我敢肯定，如果我们能克服对失败的恐惧，我们在个人生活、职业生涯和精神生活中都会承担许多风险)”可知， 前文说，如果认为失败是一种个人弱点，我们就不会脱离自己的舒适圈，讲的是反面；后文说，我们不由失败定义，而从失败中受到启发进而成长，讲的是正面，所以本句与上文构成转折，指出失败的定义和作用。故E选项“相反，我们必须提醒自己，失败是一种行动”符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分45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。 Power of Perseverance (毅力) There was once a young man named David.

Never give up!” chanted two young children, Max and Lily, as they marched barefoot behind their grandmother Mimi who was leading them on a great adventure, straight off the beach where they had spent the day building sand castles and swimming in the sea. They were seeking the mysterious ice-cream truck! Over the years, Mimi had become an example of positivity for her family. It was not a title she earned without effort, however. Her husband died early and at only forty years old she was left to raise her daughter alone. She faced the heart-breaking disaster powerful enough. She could have lived under a black cloud. But she challenged herself to find joy every day instead. She was always up for a new challenge, whether that was hiking across the rocky mountain in Austria to get a better view of the breathtaking scenery, or signing up for tap-dancing classes at fifty. Leading by example, Mimi taught her daughter just how much one could achieve with a positive attitude. And obviously she had taken the same approach in her relationship with her grandchildren as well. Before starting her adventure with Max and Lily on that hot July afternoon, Mimi heard the ice-cream man’s bell from her beach chair. She turned and saw him briefly, spotting his green shirt and catching the sight of his waving bell before he turned and disappeared. The ice-cream man visited the beach on a daily basis, although the delay between the sound of his bell and the disappearance of his truck was not long. One must be quick to catch him. Max and Lily were disappointed when they didn’t catch him in time that day. That was until Mimi’s eyes shone and she said, “Never give up!” She explained that the truck might be gone, but they could hurry up to find it at its next stop. They walked block after block. Not knowing which direction the truck had taken, they had to make their best guess about where to search. The kids’ tiny legs were tired, but they went on, continuing the chant, “Never give up! Never give up!” 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好。 After about twenty minutes of walking, Max’s faith started to get shaken in the burning sun. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just two blocks later, they found it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After about twenty minutes of walking, Max’s faith started to get shaken in the burning sun. He wondered out loud, “Maybe we should quit. We have been walking pretty far and haven’t seen the truck yet.” With that, he collapsed, resting his aching legs and rubbing his sore feet. Mimi bent over and patted him gently on the shoulder. Smiling, she comforted the boy, “Max, remember: winners never quit, and quitters never win”. “Yeah! Never give up!” Lily agreed. Max looked up, thought for a while and jumped to his feet. “You are right. Let’s hurry!” And so they marched on. Just two blocks later, they found it. The ice-cream truck was parked just around the corner, shining brilliantly in the sunlight, as if waiting to reward the three adventurers with a most generous treat for their patience and determination. “Finally!” Max cried at this sight, throwing a fist in the air, while Lily screamed with excitement. They laughed, cheered, and chanted in chorus, “Never give up!” In that magical moment, Mimi turned that phrase into a battle cry for the children. They would be ready for any challenges upon hearing these words. So never give up; your ice cream truck may be just a block away. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mimi是她家人一个积极向上的榜样，面对早年的遭遇，她足够坚强，每天都去寻找快乐，永不放弃，她告诉女儿一个人如果有积极的态度，可以取得多大的成就，她在对待孙辈的关系上也采取了同样的方法，在七月炎热的下午Mimi带着Max和Lily寻找冰激凌车，虽然冰激凌已经开走了，但是Mimi告诉他们不要放弃，于是他们一个街区一个街区的，边喊“永不放弃”边搜索冰激凌车。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“走了大约20分钟后，Max的信念在烈日下开始动摇。”可知，第一段可描写Max准备放弃，于是Mimi过来安慰并鼓励他，他们继续前进。 ②由第二段首句内容“仅仅过了两个街区，他们就找到了。”可知，第二段可描写他们找到冰激凌车后的感受和感悟。 2.续写线索：Max准备放弃——Mimi安慰——鼓励他不要放弃——继续前进——找到冰激凌车——开心和感动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.弯腰：bend over / bend down ②.前进：march on/go forward ③.为……做准备：be ready for/ prepare for 情绪类 ①.激动的：with excitement / be excited ②.慷慨的：generous/ bighearted 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
