Don't believe me? Hexre are four people who lived through failure before going on to become names known around the world. Walt Disney Disney began his career by being fired by a newspaper for not being creative enough. Later, his Mickey Mouse cartoons were rejected because they were considered to be "too scary for women". Also, The Three Little Pigs was turned down because it only had four characters. Thankfully, we have the Disney Company today because Disney chose not to listen to any of his critics and press forward towards his dreams. Stephen King King is a best-selling writer whose work has been made into several motion pictures. However, his first work was rejected 30 times, which led to King throwing it in the trash. Thankfully, his wife persuaded him to keep working at it, and — from that poor start - Carrie was born. Milton Hershey The man who blessed us with the sweet milk chocolate treat we all love wasn't a hit the first time around. He once worked for a local candy factory. But when he went out on his own, he failed perfected the art of making delicious milk chocolate candy, which we enjoy today. Theodor Geisel This author struggled to write a novel that publishing companies would call "pure rubbish" several times - 27 to be exact. The man just wouldn't quit, though. One fateful night, he ran into an old friend who was a children's literature editor. The friend agreed to publish Geisel's work. Better known today as Dr. Seuss, Geisel was never again called a failure after his first book became a hit. 21. Why is the Disney Company known to us nowadays? A. Disney was rejected many times. B. Disney improved his works later. C. Disney got fired and began his career. D. Disney ignored critics and fought for his dreams. 22. What is Milton Hershey famous for today? A. His big family farm. B. His successful art career. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 4 C. His delicious milk chocolate candy. D. His experience in making milk chocolate. 23. What do the people mentioned have in common? A. They have a gift for making money. B. They suffered several defeats on the path to success. C. They are creative and highly educated. D. They were successful at the very start. B A bunch of strangers showed up at the gym in the early morning of the last Sunday of April. A few athletes were already stretching (拉伸) their arms, but most of us could hardly focus. As I was burning off last night’s wrong decision — a big meal, I saw a poster about a gym’s 21-day workout challenge, and I immediately signed up. I always wanted to train for a marathon, so I considered this as my warm-up. Besides, I needed to stop being lazy and this was my chance to make a change. It was easy to promise on paper, but three weeks of recommended exercise routines and diet restrictions (限制) wouldn’t be easy. I stuck to working out 30 minutes a day, and I didn’t disturb (干 扰) my normal routine. Instead, I had to be faced with the tough work of being more creative in my spare time, thus breaking some bad habits. Overcoming weaknesses with willpower was my goal for the next part of the journey. But the difficult part about making a challenge is realizing that “wanting” and “doing” are two very different things. Just like a career, you have to physically work for it rather than just wait for it to happen. But that’s hard. Throughout the 21 days, I often told myself that the challenge was meaningless and tried to sabotage myself from exercising. However, finally I got over that negative thought and kept working out. At the end of the challenge, I learned something even more important: Feeling the results is better than seeing them. I had fewer headaches and more energy, and was simply happier. I even felt a little smarter as I researched which foods were better for my body, and learned how to make healthier meals. I felt a sense of achievement, too, because even though I wanted to give up dozens of times, I didn’t. I felt my waist got a little bit smaller and my arms got even stronger, and I no longer felt guilty after having a piece of cake or a drink. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 5 24. What can be inferred about the author’s previous state before signing up for the challenge? A. He was a regular gym-goer with a strict diet. B. He was physically fit but lacked drive. C. He was an athlete preparing for a major competition. D. He had an unhealthy lifestyle and needed a change. 25. What was the most difficult part of the challenge for the author? A. Physical tiredness from the workouts. B. Refusing the invitation of junk food. C. Overcoming negative thought and self-doubt. D. Adjusting to the new diet plan. 26. What does the underlined word “sabotage” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Promote. B. Prevent. C. Improve. D. Support. 27. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Adventurous and impatient B. Determined and strong-willed C. Active and casual D. Inspiring and changeable C A recent study from the Food and Mood Centre at Deakin University in Australia has cast light on an alternative approach to managing mild to moderate depression. The research suggests that lifestyle therapy, which includes nutritional consulting and regular physical activity, can be as effective as traditional psychotherapy (心理疗法) in reducing depressive symptoms. In this study, 182 individuals diagnosed with non-severe depression were randomly assigned to either lifestyle therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The lifestyle therapy group received guidance from a dietitian and an exercise physiologist. These professionals provided evidence-based advice on improving nutrition, particularly through a modified Mediterranean (地中海 ) diet, and including regular physical exercise into daily routine. Meanwhile, the CBT group was led by psychologists who taught strategies to manage negative thoughts and behaviors, and were provided with workbooks and self-help tools. Both therapies were structured to match in frequency, duration, environment, and group size, ensuring a fair comparison. The results were promising: the lifestyle therapy group reported a 42% 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 6 reduction in depression symptoms, whereas those who had traditional psychotherapy experienced a 37% reduction. Although the study’s sample size was small, indicating the need for further research, it underlines the importance of lifestyle changes in medicine. The researchers point out that while lifestyle changes are the cornerstone of other areas of medicine, such as heart diseases and diabetes, they have traditionally been seen as ‘add-on’ to mental health care. The study’s findings suggest that this mindset may need to shift. Importantly, the research does not say that lifestyle changes should replace professional mental health care. Instead, it recommends a comprehensive approach where both lifestyle therapy and traditional psychotherapy are available options. This would allow individuals to access the care that best suits their needs, potentially offering more effective treatment for those fighting with mild to moderate depression. 28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The significance of the research. B. The consequence of the research. C. The performance of different subjects. D. The process of conducting the research. 29. What does the underlined word “cornerstone” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. A side factor. B. An optional part. C. A fundamental element. D. A controversial method. 30. What is the suggestion of the research? A. Improve traditional psychotherapy. B. Include lifestyle changes as an option. C. Stick to the Mediterranean diet strictly. D. Replace psychotherapy with lifestyle changes. 31. In which column of a magazine might this text be found? A. Fitness routines. B. Health & wellness. C. Food adventures. D. Entertainment express. D Cheese and red wine are basic diets over the festive period, and if you love red wine and cheese, a new study will come as music to your ears. Researchers from Iowa State University have found that drinking red wine and eating cheese can help to reduce cognitive(认知的) decline. In the study, the researchers analyzed data from 1,787 adults aged 46 to 77, and asked them to complete questionnaires about their food and alcohol consumption(摄取). The results showed that 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 7 cheese was the most protective food against age-related cognitive problems, even into late life. Daily consumption of red wine was also shown to improve cognitive function, while weekly consumption of lamb was shown to improve long-term cognitive skills. However, over-consumption of salt was found to increase the risk of cognitive decline. Dr. Auriel Willette, who led the study, said: “I was pleasantly surprised that our results suggest that appropriately(合适地) eating cheese and drinking red wine daily are not just good for helping us cope with some diseases, but perhaps also dealing with an increasingly complex world. Although we considered whether this was just due to what rich people eat and drink, clinical trials(临床试验) at random are needed to determine if making easy changes in our diet could help our brains in great ways.” While the reason for the link remains unclear, the researchers believe that cheese and red wine may protect some people from the effects of Alzheimer’s(阿尔茨海默病). Brandon Klinedinst, an author of the study, added: “Depending on the genetic factors you carry, some individuals seem to be more protected from the effects of Alzheimer’s, while others seem to beat greater risk. Perhaps the silver bullet we’re looking for is improving how we eat. Knowing what that involves contributes to a better understanding of Alzheimer’s and putting this disease in an opposite path.” 32. Which of the following increases the risk of cognitive problems? A. Taking in too much salt. B. Eating cheese properly. C. Drinking red wine daily. D. Consuming lamb weekly. 33. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Changes in our diet help our brains in significant ways. B. The diets of wealthy people were not taken into consideration. C. The study results need to be proved by more clinical trials. D. Some diseases make our world increasingly complex. 34. What does Brandon Klinedinst suggest on fighting Alzheimer’s disease? A. Developing advanced genetic treatments. B. Focusing on improving dietary habits. C. Increasing clinical trials for new drugs. D. Studying the diets of wealthy populations. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 8 35. What is the study mainly about? A. Basic diets over the festive period. B. Possible reasons for cognitive decline. C. Feelings of pleasant music to people’s ears. D. Effects of certain diets on cognitive decline. 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。 In a complex and challenging world, wisdom, undoubtedly, is a valuable asset (资产).

(首先，尝试体验新的机会。)”以及“You will never grow unless you step out of your comfort zone. Staying where you are won’t lead to growth.(除非你走出舒适区，否则你将永远不会成长。留在你所处的地方不会使你成长) ”可知，本段主要讲的是要体验新的机会，不要待在舒适区，F项“相反，你可以探索新的技能或者去你一直梦想的地方。”与上文相呼应，符合语境。故选F。 【38题详解】根据上文“Secondly, open yourself to different opinions.(第二，对不同的观点敞开心扉。)”以及“Always observe the world in an accepting way, and you will see new scenery.

(通过这样做，我们可以更好地了解世界，做出更明智的决定)”中的“doing so”指代前文“积累智慧”，并通过“更好地了解世界、做出明智决策”这一具体结果，自然过渡到后文的“应对现代挑战”。该选项既总结前文（积累智慧的作用），又引出后文（智慧的实际效果），能够承上启下，符合语境。故选G。 四、完形填空【答案】41. B 42. C 43. A 44. D 45. D 46. B 47.
