You all accomplished something great and important here, and it's time for you to move on to what's next. You must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps ...You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you've been blessed with and then advance. ·J.K. Rowling, Harvard University Half my lifetime ago, I was striking an unstable balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich ...But what I feared most for myself at your age was not poverty, but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure; you might be driven by a fear of failure quite as much as a desire for success. ·Steve Jobs, Stanford University Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith ...Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle. ·Bill Gates, Harvard University We need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another. They are making it possible not just for national governments, but for universities, smaller organizations, and even individuals to see problems, see approaches and deal with the world's inequality like hunger, poverty, and so on.

With thousands of computer programs and other media now available, fewer kids are learning to read Braille and most of them are learning to read by listening. In the United States, less than 10% of the 1.3 million people who are legally blind are Braille readers. However, learning Braille offers students much more than just a way to get information. Listening to information does not teach students how to spell or write well. These skills are better taught by actually reading. This is particularly true when we know that Braille users often are more independent, have a higher level of education and better employment opportunities. Learning to read and write Braille requires lots of practice, which can become dull. This is what the company Lego, which is making Braille Bricks to help blind students learn to read and write, is dealing with. We strongly believe the Bricks can help increase the level of interest in learning Braille. Instead of the grid(网格) of raised dots normally found on top of Legos, Braille Bricks use the dot groups of the Braille alphabet. This allows the bricks to be “read”， but they still click together like normal Legos. Braille is often written with a special machine called a Brailler. If a student makes the wrong letter using the Brailler, it can't really be fixed, since the letter is punched(打孔) into paper. Legos, on the other hand, are lots of fun to play with. If a student makes a mistake, fixing it is as easy as moving or changing a brick. The company is trying the Bricks out with teachers and blind students in schools. Teachers report that students enjoy the Bricks and quickly invent games and fun ways to use them. On Lego's new Braille Bricks, which are planned to hit commercial stores in the near future, Braille is also translated into numbers and letters allowing parents and educators to follow along. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。近年来，由于数字技术的发展，盲人可以通过听来获取在过去要通过阅读盲文获得的信息。学盲文的人越来越少了，在美国只有不到10%的盲人能够阅读盲文。但盲文阅读对盲人的读写能力有很大帮助。乐高公司推出了一种乐高盲文积木，以提高盲人学习盲文的兴趣。 8．What has made Braille used less in recent years? A．The lack of its actual use. B．The hard learning process. C．The application of digital technology. D.The decline in the number of the blind. C　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句(随着成千上万的电脑程序和其他媒体的出现，越来越少的孩子在学习阅读盲文，他们中的大多数人是通过听来学习阅读的。)可知，应该是数字技术的应用导致越来越少的盲人使用盲文。故选C。 9．What does the author stress about Braille in Paragraph 1? A．Its replacements. B．Its improvement. C．Its shortcomings. D．Its importance. D　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, learning Braille offers students ... and better employment opportunities.(然而，学习布莱叶盲文给学生提供的不仅仅是一种获取信息的方式。听信息并不能教学生如何拼写或写好。这些技能可以通过实际阅读来更好地传授。特别是当我们知道盲文使用者往往更独立，有更高的教育水平和更好的就业机会时，这种情况就更加明显。)”可知，作者在第一段中强调了盲文的重要性。故选D。 10．What can we say about Lego's Braille Bricks? A．They are new reading systems. B．They help the blind in a fun way. C．They work like a special machine. D．They come from the Braille alphabet. B　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Learning to read and write Braille ... learn to read and write, is dealing with.(学习阅读和书写盲文需要大量的练习，这会变得枯燥乏味。这就是通过生产盲文积木来帮助盲人学生学习阅读和写作的乐高公司正在解决的问题。)”以及第二段中的“Legos, on the other hand, are lots of fun to play with.(另一方面，乐高玩具玩起来很有趣。)”可知，乐高盲文积木以一种有趣的方式提升盲人的学习兴趣。故选B。 11．What does the company expect of its Braille Bricks? A．They'll reach the consumers soon. B.They'll teach blind students new games. C.They'll lighten the burden on teachers. D.They'll be translated into other languages. A　解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“On Lego's new Braille Bricks ... and educators to follow along.(乐高新推出的盲文积木计划在不久的将来上市，盲文还被翻译成数字和字母，让家长和教育工作者可以跟着学习。)”可知，乐高公司希望乐高盲文积木尽快入市。故选A。 D (2022·山东师范大学附属中学高三一模)Nobody likes to fail. It makes people feel embarrassed and discouraged. What's worse, it may cause major professional or personal trouble and lead to negativity. Basically, failure is no fun for most people. However, a vast body of research tells us that failure provides us with a chance to grow and develop, increases adaptability, and helps protect against anxiety. It's hard to change the mindset(心态) of a lifetime. But even if we still can't get over the broken marriage or the failed College Entrance Examination or the work presentation that went fearfully wrong, it might not be too late for our kids. Christy Pennison, a professional consultant, says she works with an increasing number of kids and teens who show significant anxiety around a fear of failure. She said, “We want to protect our children, and we want them to live happy and meaningful lives, so we frequently tell them the harm of failure and ask them to avoid failure. The children experiencing internal and sometimes external pressure think they shouldn't fail. Meanwhile, we always have high expectations of them. So when they don't live up to a certain standard, or things don't go according to the plans, they will feel upset and anxious.” Pennison argues that failures, are often the hidden learning chances that can help people develop positive qualities, like persistence, focus, flexibility, patience, and positive self­image. So what can parents do to help their children embrace(拥抱)failure instead of avoiding it at all costs? Pennison suggests directing praise towards the effort, not the result. “This allows children to build confidence in themselves，” she explains. “Acknowledging the effort can give children permission to try new things without a fear of failure. And the bigger picture is that the development of the mindset—‘I'd rather try and fail than not try at all.’—helps them keep a belief in themselves, and expands their world of possibilities.” As Pennison points out, we all fail, but how we get up after we fail is what matters. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。作者认为家长应转变对失败的态度，让孩子勇于接受失败，从失败中学习和成长。 12．What aspect do most people focus on when thinking of failure? A．The great courage to face it. B．The efforts made to handle it. C．Unexpected benefits it brings. D．Unpleasant side effects it brings. D　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第一、二句可知，失败让人们感到尴尬和沮丧，因此没有人喜欢失败。也就是说大部分人只关注失败的负面影响。 13．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2? A．Bring up the main topic. B．List the challenges in our life. C．Add some background information. D.Stress the importance of the mindset. A　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可知，但是，即使我们仍然无法从破裂的婚姻、失败的高考或工作展示中的可怕错误中走出来，对我们的孩子来说可能还不算太晚。由此可知，本段主要是为了引出文章议论的话题：家长需要帮助孩子树立对失败的正确心态。 14．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A．The causes of children's anxiety. B.Christy Pennison's comments on adolescents. C．The consequences of overprotecting children. D.Christy Pennison's experience in educating children. A　解析：主旨大意题。 根据第三段第二句可知，我们想要保护我们的孩子，我们想让他们过上快乐而有意义的生活，所以我们经常告诉他们失败的危害，让他们避免失败。由此可知，本段主要分析了导致孩子焦虑的原因：家长一方面教育孩子不能失败，一方面又对孩子寄予厚望。 15．Which of the following can help encourage kids to face failure? ①Praise kids' every achievement. ②Make kids embrace a bright mindset. ③Focus on the process of kids' effort. ④Expand kids' knowledge about the world. ⑤Encourage kids to make new attempts. A．①②④ B．②③④ C．②③⑤ D．①③⑤ C　解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句可知，关注努力的过程、使孩子拥有一个积极的心态及鼓励孩子尝试可以帮助他们勇敢面对失败。 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。 (2022·湖南高二期末)Finishing school is the beginning of the independent life for millions of school graduates.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了飞机维修工程师Zachariah在流行病期间和父亲一起种植蔬菜，养活了20户邻居。这件事让Zachariah感到很开心，不仅帮助了别人还融入了自然，所以对可持续发展农业产生兴趣，并决定转行。 21．A.planted B．gathered C．consumed D．delivered A　解析：根据前文的“Store shelves were emptying”可知，Zachariah和他的父亲买不到东西，买不到蔬菜，所以就在自家的地里种植蔬菜。故选A项。 22．A.taken over B．passed down C．handed in D．worked out B　解析：根据上文“techniques”“Zachariah's grandfather”以及下文“a guide”等关键词，可知Zachariah应是借鉴YouTube上的相关视频以及祖父传给他父亲的技术，和他父亲开辟了一个菜园种菜。故选B项。 23．A.under B．with C．as D．without C　解析：根据上文“videos and techniques” 可知，视频和技术是提供指导作用的，作为向导的。故选C项。 24．A.stimulate B．motivate C．clean D．feed D　解析：根据上文“they began a garden”可知，Zachariah和父亲开辟了一个菜园种菜，说明设空处应是指种出来的菜可以养活20户邻居。故选D项。 25．A.stores B．provides C．shifts D．requires B　解析：根据上文“The tropical climate of Kerala”及下文“plenty of rain and sun”“making farming hands­off”可知，这种气候应是可以提供足够的雨水和阳光，让农民不用太操心。故选B项。 26．A.for B．while C．until D．though C　解析：根据上文“plenty of rain and sun”及“making farming hands­off”可知，直到该收获的时候农民才需要干预一下。故选C项。 27．A.interest B．influence C．patience D．doubt A　解析：根据倒数第二段中的“ Soon after returning ...helping others and being in nature.”可知，这种自由耕作的可持续发展农业应是让Zachariah产生兴趣，才会有下文讲到的他转行的决定以及收获到的快乐。故选A项。 28．A.passion B．habit C．purpose D．will D　解析：根据上文“promotes working with nature”以及“ instead of”可知，“forcing the land to obey man's __8__”与上文构成转折对比关系，设空处应是指“违背人类的意愿”。故选D项。 29．A.vegetable B．tree C．seed D．flower C　解析：根据下文“one that would eventually ...one in farming”可知，让Zachariah最终重新思考他在工程领域的职业生涯，并考虑在农业领域发展的想法已经在他心中种下，生根发芽。故选C项。 30．A.rethink B．restore C．broaden D．treasure A　解析：根据下文“consider one in farming”及“Soon after returning ...the soil”可知，Zachariah回到迪拜后不久就决定转变职业，由此可推出设空处应是指重新考虑职业生涯。故选A项。 31．A.improve B．choose C．distinguish D．switch D　解析：根据上文“one that would eventually ...in farming”可知，Zachariah重新考虑了他的职业，说明设空处应是指转变、改变职业。故选D项。 32．A.working B．loosening C．researching D．watering A　解析：根据上文“one that would ...in farming”可知，Zachariah考虑在农业领域发展，所以应是指从为天空服务转为在田间工作。故选A项。 33．A.healthy B．wealthy C．happy D．confident C　解析：根据上文“It's a big change for me.”以及“But”可知，虽然这对于Zachariah来说是个很大的转变，但却是让他开心的。故选C项。 34．A.richer B．closer C．busier D．stronger B　解析：根据上文“The time they've spent together”，以及下文“We started bonding”可知Zachariah和父亲开始建立感情，他们之间的关系应是更好了，更亲密了。故选B项。 35．A.figured out B．put off C．ran across D．got into D　解析：根据上文倒数第二段“But this is ...being in nature.”以及下文“We started bonding(我们开始建立感情)”可知，他应是喜欢园艺的，他爱上了园艺。故选D项。 第二节　(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 (2022·广西钦州高二期末)One thing that people get from their occupation is, of course, money.However, 36.__________ the majority of people want is more than just a good salary.There 37.__________(be) many other things that add up to “job satisfaction”， the feeling of enjoyment you get from doing a job.What people in employment want from a job 38.__________(vary) greatly from person to person.For some, the chances of promotion make 39.__________ big difference.For others, working in a(n) 40.__________(create) environment with other people makes them happier than they would be working alone.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。影响“工作满意度”的因素除了薪水之外还有许多因素，就业者对工作的要求因人而异。在规划你的职业生涯时，你应该考虑一份工作中的所有活动，考虑其中的所有因素是否适合你的个性。 36．what　解析：考查名词性从句的引导词。句意：然而，大多数人想要的不仅仅是一份好的薪水。在主语从句中缺少动词want的宾语，且根据“more than just a good salary”可知，此处是指“什么”，所以应用连接代词what。故填what。 37．are　解析：考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：“工作满意度”也就是你从工作中获得的快乐感，其中还包含很多其他因素。此处描述客观事实，所以应用一般现在时。主语things为复数，所以be动词应用are。故填are。 38．varies　解析：考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：就业者对工作的要求因人而异。此处描述客观事实，所以应用一般现在时。主语为what引导的主语从句，为第三人称单数。故填varies。 39．a　解析：考查冠词。句意：对一些人来说，晋升的机会会带来很大的不同。make a difference意为“有影响，有关系”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用不定冠词a。故填a。 40．creative　解析：考查形容词。句意：对其他人来说，与他人一起在创造性的环境中工作会比独自工作更快乐。修饰名词environment应用形容词creative，表示“创造性的”，作定语。故填creative。 41．planning　解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：在规划你的职业生涯时，你应该考虑一份工作中的所有活动，并决定每一项工作如何适合你的个性。当when引导的时间状语从句的主语和主句相同时，可省略从句的主语和系动词。根据“you should consider all the activities”可知，此处是指在规划你的职业生涯时，省略“you are”，所以应用现在分词planning。故填planning。 42．involved　解析：考查非谓语动词。句意见上题解析。动词involve意为“包含”，和谓语之间没有连词，和逻辑主语activities构成被动关系，且动作已完成，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填involved。 43．actually　解析：考查副词。句意：例如，如果你正在考虑成为一名记者，你真的喜欢与公众见面吗？修饰动词like应用副词actually表示“实际上，事实上”作状语。故填actually。 44．of/about　解析：考查介词。句意：如果你想成为一名会计，你喜欢详细的数字工作吗？think of/about意为“考虑”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用介词of或about。故填of/about。 45．better　解析：考查副词的比较等级。句意：仅仅因为一份工作的薪水比另一份高，并不意味着这是适合你的工作。根据“than another”可知，此处应用well的比较级better。故填better。 第三部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节　(满分15分) 假定你是李华，你校英语协会招聘志愿者，接待来访的外国中学生。请你写信应聘，内容包括： 1．口语能力； 2．相关经验； 3．应聘目的。 注意： 1．词数80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] Dear Sir or Madam， My name is Li Hua.And I am writing to apply for being a volunteer of our school English association.
