习题讲评(一)　主题阅读训练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025·鹰潭模拟) I was born missing my left arm. And while there really wasn't anything I couldn't do, it felt like an obvious disadvantage in a world desiring perfection. In 1986, at 18 months, I was fitted with a prosthetic (假肢的) device, a decision made by my parents so that I would mix in and develop “normally”． I spent my entire childhood trying to fit in. I did just about anything to ease the special pain of the stares and hurtful jokes from my classmates. I wore long sleeves and did whatever I needed to do to become invisible. By the time I was 8 years old, I had no self-confidence, and the hand I was wearing was making it harder and harder for me to fit in. So I decided I was better off without one. I didn't need anyone to fix me, because I wasn't broken. One of the most obvious ways for me to prove that I wasn't going to be limited by my disability was through movement. I developed a love for sports, in particular swimming. I felt free and excited when I powered through the water. I was selected to join my first Australian swimming team at age 13, and I successfully represented my country for eight years. I realized I'd made a name for myself because of my disability. I taught myself how to be comfortable in a society filled with insecurities. So when I was first contacted in 2021 by Simon Pollard, whose company was on a mission to create the world's most advanced bionic (仿生的) hand, I was a bit surprised. He asked me to try the hand and, if I was comfortable with the idea, to become a patient advocate. Through sharing my journey, I'm able to reach thousands of other people who would benefit from its extraordinary capabilities. That's why I wear a bionic hand — not because I'm broken, but because I have an opportunity to enhance the human capabilities that already exist. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从小身患残疾，失去左臂，但仍积极参加运动，突破残疾的限制并热心帮助他人的故事。 1．What was the author's early childhood probably like?

The University of Bristol's Science of Happiness course, which launched in 2018, is helping answer that question. Not your typical college class, the innovative course features absolutely no tests or work. Instead it focuses on teaching students what the latest studies in psychology suggest really makes people happy. Now, the research team behind that class has released a new study reporting it really is possible to learn how to be happy. Thanks to their course, researchers had already established that teaching students about the latest scientific studies focusing on happiness results in a notable improvement in well-being. During this latest project, they took things a step further. Their work shows that increases in well-being among students are ultimately short-lived — unless individuals practice what's been taught during the course for ages. “It's like going to the gym — we can't expect to do one class and be fit forever. Just as with physical health, we have to continuously work on our mental health, otherwise the improvements are temporary，” explains senior study author Professor Bruce Hood. Students who took the happiness course reported a 10 to 15 percent improvement in well-being. However, only those who continued practicing what they learned during the course reported sustained improved well-being upon being surveyed again two years later. This project is the first ever to track the well-being of students who had taken a happiness course long after the class ended. “To gain more information about happiness, we'll continue studying. What we teach is related to positive psychology interventions (干预) that take your attention away from yourself, by helping others, being with friends, or thankfulness，” Prof. Hood said. “This is the opposite of the current principle, but countless studies have shown that getting out of our own heads helps get us away from negative thinking.” Prof. Hood recently turned the course into a new book, released earlier this month.The Science of Happiness: Seven Lessons for Living Well details an evidence-informed roadmap to better well-being. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。布里斯托大学于2018年推出了幸福科学课程。这门课程背后的研究小组最近发布了一项新的研究报告称：我们可以学习如何变得快乐。 5．What do we know about Science of Happiness course? A．It's an analysis of students' exams. B．It's a research platform for the team. C．It's the team's theoretical foundation. D．It's the collection of research processes. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Now, the research team behind that class has released a new study reporting it really is possible to learn how to be happy.”以及第三段中的“This project is the first ever to track the well-being of students who had taken a happiness course long after the class ended.”可知，这门课程为这个研究小组提供了研究平台。 6．Why does Prof. Hood mention “the gym” in paragraph 3? A．To offer a solution. B．To make a prediction. C．To illustrate an idea. D．To raise a question. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第二段可知，他们的研究表明，学生幸福感的提高最终是短暂的，除非个人长期使用课程中所教授的内容；再根据第三段中的“It's like going to the gym — we can't expect to do one class and be fit forever.”可推知，Hood提到gym是在举例说明：要学习如何变得快乐，必须坚持长期实践该课程所学的内容，这就像去健身房一样，不能指望上一堂课就能永远保持健康。 7．Which of the following belongs to the current principle? A．Talking to strangers. B．Giving gifts to others. C．Spending money on oneself. D．Walking in nature with friends. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“What we teach is ...helps get us away from negative thinking.”可知，“the current principle”关注的是“自我”，这容易造成负面思维，而幸福科学课程关注的是“与他人交往”，因此推断“把钱花到自身上”属于“the current principle”。 8．What's the author's purpose in writing the text? A．To assess a new way to study happiness. B．To show a new study result on happiness. C．To comment on a book about happiness. D．To stress the need of gaining happiness. 解析：选B　推理判断题。通读全文，尤其第一段中的“Now, the research team behind that class has released a new study reporting it really is possible to learn how to be happy.”可知，本文主要介绍了幸福科学课程背后的研究团队对幸福快乐进行研究所得到的成果：我们可以学会快乐，同时，我们要持续实践课程所教的方法，比如帮助他人，感恩他人等，这种快乐才能长久。因此推断作者的写作目的是展示一项关于幸福的新研究结果。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 (2025·西安模拟)Perseverance is the secret of success. 9 Even if a person is not very talented, nor highly knowledgeable, but of an average merit (优点), still he can succeed in life simply by his perseverance. Every action has its reaction. So hard labour has no alternative. It must yield (产生) results. A person who is highly intelligent, and a scholarly genius, but is lethargic (懒散的) by nature, and reluctant to diligence, can hardly prosper in life, because he does not know how to use his brain and labour in the right direction. 10 Say, the lofty monuments, the palaces, the cities, the buildings etc. — all were built only by long and hard labour. “Rome was not built in a day”. It is through perseverance of thousands of diligent men that such magnificent structures can be standing. 11 Science, architecture, literature, music — in every aspect of life — perseverance is the root cause of success and glory. Shakespeare did not compose such substantial works just in a day. He had to work hard during days and nights with tremendous perseverance to create such great masterpieces. Modern scientists also work hard for years to succeed. 12 If one looks at his own life, he can very well understand that whatever he has so far gained, he has gained it only by his hard labour, and not by chance or magic, or by someone's grace. Therefore, perseverance must be practised from the very childhood so that the noble habit becomes a part and parcel of one's life. With that great advantage or goodwill, a man can walk easily on the risky road of his life's journey. 13 A．It is crucial to keep growing. B．And success will likely be his and his only. C．Without it, no great achievement is possible. D．Nothing can stop them from achieving their goals. E．In human life, perseverance plays a very important role. F．They carry on their experiments day and night for years together. G．In this world, all the great things have been made or constructed only by perseverance. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章强调了毅力对于个人成功的重要性。 9．选C　根据空前的“Perseverance is the secret of success.”和空后的“Even if a person is not very talented, nor highly knowledgeable, but of an average merit (优点), still he can succeed in life simply by his perseverance.”可知，此处需要一个句子来补充说明毅力的重要性。C项“没有它，就不可能有伟大的成就。”直接指出了没有毅力就不可能取得伟大的成就，符合上下文语境。it指代上文中的Perseverance。 10．选G　根据空后的“Say, the lofty monuments, the palaces, the cities, the buildings etc. — all were built only by long and hard labour. ‘Rome was not built in a day’．”可知，下文通过举例说明世界上所有伟大的事物都是通过长期的辛勤劳动和毅力建造的。G项“在这个世界上，所有伟大的事物都是靠毅力创造或建造的。”强调了所有伟大事物的建立都需要毅力，这与下文内容相一致。 11．选E　设空位于本段段首。根据空后“Science, architecture, literature, music — in every aspect of life — perseverance is the root cause of success and glory.”可知，本段强调了无论在哪个领域，无论是科学、建筑、文学还是音乐，毅力都是成功和荣耀的根本原因。因此，E项“在人类生活中，毅力起着非常重要的作用。”符合该段的主题，强调了毅力在各个领域中的重要性。 12．选F　根据上文“Modern scientists also work hard for years to succeed.”可知，现代科学家需要多年的辛勤工作才能成功。空后的句子“If one looks at ... by someone's grace”则强调了成功是通过努力而不是偶然获得的。因此，F项“多年来，他们夜以继日地一起进行实验。”恰好符合这个语境，描述了科学家为了成功而付出的努力。F项中的 They指代上文的Modern scientists。 13．选B　设空处在段尾，此处需要一个句子作为段落的总结，强调毅力对个人成功的影响。B项“成功很可能是他唯一的。”强调了毅力是个人成功的关键，这与上文提到的“With that great advantage or goodwill, a man can walk easily on the risky road of his life's journey.”相呼应。 习题讲评(二)　语用综合训练　　　　　　　　　　　　 完形填空 (2025·深圳质检)I remember a moment when I felt like everything was falling apart.
