Orphaned at a young age, she endures harsh treatment at Gateshead Hall, where her aunt and cousins belittle her for being poor and parentless.“You are a bad child,”her cousin John shouts, often striking her for no reason. These experiences plant seeds of self-doubt in Jane, who begins to believe she is unworthy of love or respect. At 10, Jane is sent to Lowood Institution, a boarding school with strict rules and minimal care. There, she meets Helen Burns, a friend who teaches her the power of patience and inner strength.“It is not your fault to be poor or plain,” Helen says, “for true worth lies in the soul.”Though Jane admires Helen’s wisdom, she still struggles to accept her own place in society. Years later, Jane becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she falls in love with her employer, the mysterious Mr. Rochester. Their relationship is tested when Jane discovers Mr. Rochester has a secret wife, locked away in the attic. Faced with the choice to stay as his mistress or leave with nothing, Jane chooses integrity.“I must respect myself,”she declares,“even if it means losing everything.” This decision marks a turning point in Jane’s journey. She finally realizes her self-worth is not defined by society’s standards or others’ expectations. In the end, Jane returns to Mr. Rochester after his wife’s death, but only when she knows they can stand as equals.

B 篇（时事热点：残奥运动员的自我超越扩展） Li Si’s journey from despair to Paralympic glory is a testament to the power of self-acceptance. At 10, a tragic car accident robbed her of her left arm, leaving her trapped in a wheelchair and consumed by grief. “I remember staring at my reflection, wondering if I’d ever be‘normal’again,” she recalls. Her parents tried to comfort her, but Li Si withdrew into silence, convinced her future was shattered. Everything changed when a Paralympic coach visited her school.“Have you ever thought about swimming?”the coach asked, pointing to Li Si’s strong right arm. Though hesitant, Li Si agreed to try. The first few months were agonizing—she struggled to balance in the water, her single arm growing sore from overuse.“I wanted to quit every day,”she admits,“but something inside me refused to give up.” Li Si’s breakthrough came when she developed a unique stroke that combined breaststroke and freestyle movements. With daily training from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., she gradually built stamina and precision. In 2023, she competed in her first national championship, winning silver despite facing athletes with two arms.“That medal proved to me that disability doesn’t limit potential,”she said. The 2024 Paralympics in Paris were Li Si’s defining moment. As she lined up for the 100m freestyle final, doubt flickered in her mind, but the crowd’s cheers reminded her of her journey. From the first stroke, she surged ahead, her streamlined form cutting through the water. When the timer stopped at 58.7 seconds—a new world record—Li Si burst into tears.“I did it not just for myself,”she said in a post-race interview,“but for every person who’s ever been told they’re‘not enough.” Today, Li Si travels the country, inspiring others through her story.“My arm isn’t a liability; it’s a symbol of my resilience,”she tells audiences.“Embracing my difference taught me that strength comes not from perfection, but from accepting who you are—and fighting for your dreams.” 41. What was Li Si’s initial reaction to her disability? A. She remained optimistic. B. She sought help immediately. C. She fell into despair. D. She started training for sports. 42. How did the coach inspire Li Si? A. By offering financial support. B. By recognizing her physical potential. C. By sharing his own story. D. By criticizing her weakness. 43. What challenge did Li Si face during training? A. Lack of talent. B. Opposition from family. C. Physical exhaustion and self-doubt. D. Poor coaching. 44. Why does Li Si’s story resonate with people? A. It shows disability is a limitation. B. It proves hard work overcomes adversity. C. It emphasizes the importance of winning. D. It criticizes society’s attitude toward disability. 45. What does Li Si’s“new world record”symbolize? A. The end of her journey. B. The power of self-acceptance and perseverance. C. The superiority of single-arm swimmers. D. The importance of coaches in sports. 五、完型填空,从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。（共 10 分） Zhang Lin was a quiet student who often doubted her ____46. She avoided speaking in class and feared making mistakes.

This message teaches us to embrace our uniqueness. Take Eileen Gu, for example. Instead of fearing criticism for her choice to compete for China, she valued her passion for skiing and stuck to her path. Through rigorous training, she won Olympic medals and inspired millions. We all have differences—they are not flaws but part of our identity. Just as a rose’s thorns make it unique, our challenges and quirks shape who we are. By accepting ourselves, we unlock inner strength and find true confidence. Remember: you don’t need to be perfect, just true to yourself. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
