A
(2024·山西运城期中考试)Failure isn't the end,unless you let it be.Don't believe me? Here 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 miserably.Then he returned to the family farm and 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.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四位战胜失败后家喻户晓的美国名人。通过介绍他们的经历作者告诉我们失败永远不是终点。
1.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.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章Walt Disney部分中的首句和尾句可知,今天我们都知道迪士尼公司是因为 Disney 没有听取任何批评家的意见,坚持为梦想而奋斗。故选D。
答案 D
2.What is Milton Hershey famous for today?
A.His big family farm.
B.His successful art career.
C.His delicious milk chocolate candy.
D.His experience in making milk chocolate.
解析 细节理解题。根据文章Milton Hershey 部分中的首句和尾句可知,Milton Hershey出名的原因是他所制作的美味的牛奶巧克力糖。故选C。
答案 C
3.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.
解析 细节理解题。通读全文尤其是根据文章第一段中的“Here are four people who lived through failure before going on to become names known around the world.”可知,文章主要介绍了四位名人的经历,这四个人在获得成功之前都遭遇了失败。故选B。
答案 B
B
Being highly successful in any field is pretty rare.It takes a combination of natural talent,luck,determination,and plenty of outside support for someone to make it big in sports,entertainment,or business.But what if competing is all that matters to you,whether you are likely to succeed or not? This was the goal of Michael Edwards,better known as Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards,and his reaching that goal was an amazing achievement.
Born in the UK in 1963,Edwards was a passionate downhill skier whose dream was to compete for Britain in world-class competitions.He wanted to represent his country in the 1984 Winter Olympics,but there were a large number of downhill competitors,and Edwards didn't qualify.Seeing his chance elsewhere,he switched to ski jumping.Ski jumping didn't cost as much as downhill skiing,and there was almost no competition for a place in the British team.
But a number of hurdles could have meant the end of Edwards' dream.He weighed more than most competitors.He had no financial support for his training.Poor eyesight meant that he had to wear glasses under his goggles(护目镜)—not a good thing when they steamed up at high altitudes.But he couldn't let any of these discourage him.He saw himself as a true lover of the sport who simply wanted the chance to compete.Winning wasn't the point.Having the opportunity to try was all he cared about.And nothing could stop him from trying.
In the end,Edwards took 55th place at the 1987 World Championships.He then went on to the 1988 Winter Olympics where he finished last.Many athletes would have been embarrassed about this result,but he is proud of his achievements to this day.His determination to fight against all the odds made him a global hero,and in 2016,the inspiring film Eddie the Eagle was made about his life.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位叫Michael Edwards 的运动员,他热爱运动,克服重重困难参加比赛并为自己的成绩骄傲。他认为比赛重在参与,而不仅仅是赢得比赛。
4.Why did Edwards choose ski jumping?
A.It was more popular.
B.It needed fewer skills.
C.There was little competition.
D.There was free equipment.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He wanted to represent ...there was almost no competition for a place in the British team.”可知,他想代表自己的国家参加1984年冬季奥运会,但有大量的速降滑雪选手,Michael Edwards没有获得参赛资格。看到他在别处的机会,他改行跳台滑雪。跳台滑雪的成本没有速降滑雪那么高,而且(获得)英国队的队员资格几乎没有竞争。可知Michael Edwards选择跳台滑雪是因为它竞争小。
答案 C
5.What does the underlined word “hurdles” mean in paragraph 3?
A.Doubts. B.Difficulties.
C.Changes. D.Options.
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“He weighed more than...not a good thing...couldn't let any of these discourage him.”可知,他的体重比大多数竞争者都重。他的训练没有经济支持。视力差意味着他不得不在护目镜下戴眼镜。这些都是他遇到的障碍,故B项与画线词意思最接近。
答案 B
6.What made Edwards outstanding?
A.His passion for the sport and competitions.
B.His determination to win.
C.His attitude to the Olympics.
D.His ability to overcome disabilities.
解析 推理判断题。根据全文内容,尤其是第二段中的“a passionate downhill skier...world-class competitions”,第三段中的“He saw himself as a true lover of the sport who simply wanted the chance to compete”可知,Michael Edwards很喜欢运动和比赛。
答案 A
7.What is the best title for the text?
A.Michael Edwards: A Household Athlete
B.Michael Edwards: Took Every Chance to Learn
C.Competition Is All That Matters to Michael Edwards
D.Nothing Can Stop Michael Edwards Seeking Success
解析 标题归纳题。本文讲述了一位叫Michael Edwards 的运动员,他热爱运动,克服重重困难参加比赛并为自己的成绩骄傲,认为比赛重在参与,而不仅仅是赢得比赛,故C项最适合作文章的标题。
答案 C
C
Sometimes the stress of work can get to be so high,so it's nice to get away for a while.However,even on vacation,it can be hard to leave all your worries at the office—especially when you think about the mountain of emails.
Iceland now offers a new service called OutHorse Your Email.The service encourages visitors to disconnect and enjoy the country's beauty while one of several highly trained Icelandic horses replies to any email.“When visitors travel to Iceland,we want them to fully experience everything our nation has to offer,” one official said.“Our OutHorse Your Email service lets them do just that.”
To use the service,you should fill in a form on its website and your personalized out-of-office email will be written by one horse and sent automatically(自动地).The email explains the sender is away on vacation and that they've given their email jobs to one of Iceland's four-legged animals.It then includes the message created by the animal.But how do horses type an email? They've got their own specially designed horse-sized keyboards in the fields and are able to walk across the keys.However,that still doesn't mean coherence(条理性).They're horses,after all.The result is just meaningless collections of letters.
This might seem like a joke,but it is actually serious.Nowadays the line between private life and work has become unclear.The service draws attention to the fact that people have the right to be away from work during their holiday.It also sends a message that Iceland is a unique destination by helping tourists go on a real holiday.It'll surely put a smile on their face and make them want to vacation in Iceland.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。很多人在旅游的时候还得查阅电子邮件。最近冰岛推出一个新的旅游服务,让受过训练的马儿为游客回复工作邮件,从而让他们享受冰岛的美丽风光。
8.What is a problem for people on vacation according to the text?
A.They lack enough holidays.
B.They feel uneasy without work.
C.They're required to send emails.
D.They have to deal with business.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However,even on vacation,it can be hard to leave all your worries at the office—especially when you think about the mountain of emails”可知,人们在度假时难以放下工作上的事,无法充分享受假期。
答案 D
9.What can we learn about the messages created by the horses?
A.They are in required styles.
B.They actually make no sense.
C.They may annoy the receivers.
D.They are checked by senders first.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The result is just meaningless collections of letters.”可知,马打出的信息只是字母的一些组合,没有任何意义。
答案 B
10.How does the author feel about OutHorse Your Email?
A.Advanced. B.Competitive.
C.Educational. D.Meaningful.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This might seem like a joke,but it is actually serious.”以及“The service draws attention to the fact that people have the right to be away from work during their holiday.”可知,OutHorse Your Email 服务虽然看起来有些可笑,但实际上很认真,这项服务提醒人们注意人们有权在假日期间不工作。由此可知,作者认为它是有意义的。
答案 D
11.What is the main purpose of the text?
A.To describe the new role of horses.
B.To introduce a new tourism service.
C.To show development in the tourism.
D.To encourage people to travel to Iceland.
解析 写作意图题。综合全文,尤其是第二段中的“Iceland now offers a new service called OutHorse Your Email”可知,本文介绍了冰岛推出了一项新的旅游服务OutHorse Your Email,包括这项服务的目的、运作方式以及作者的评价。由此可知,本文的主要目的是介绍一项新的旅游服务。
答案 B
D
In a neighborhood in the east of Paris, if you walk out of your front door, you can arrive at a kindergarten in one minute and a bookstore in three minutes. A bakery? It's across the street. Actually, all key things in daily life—work, food, schools and entertainment—are within a 15-minute walk.
This neighborhood was built in this way more than 150 years ago and this old idea of having all important things close by has now evolved into an urban planning model that is gaining popularity around the world.
“A 15-minute city not only improves quality of life, but can also reduce greenhouse gases. Transportation accounts for about 20% of global energy-related CO2 pollution, with cars making up almost 10%,”says Carlos Moreno, a professor at University of Paris, who has been helping the city put this idea to use. “Paris should integrate the 15-minute city as part of a broader strategy to get closer to net zero goals.”
Besides reducing greenhouse gases, there are lots of “co-benefits” for people who live in 15-minute cities. Facilities that prioritize walking and biking mean less noise from cars and more safety for the people. Less air pollution from cars and daily routines with more walking and biking promote health. Redesigning cities where homes are mixed in with businesses can drive more foot traffic to those businesses.
But one challenge to building 15-minute cities across France is financial. Many banks are still unwilling to provide loans for mixed-use developments, because they are still a relatively uncommon way to build communities. Other barriers have to do with parking in a more heavily populated area. The biggest obstacle involves public schools. When couples have kids, they often leave cities for suburbs, which they think have better schools.
“If we want regional sustainability, we have to look to these urban places,”Makarewicz says. “But if we want to successfully introduce a 15-minute city approach to an area, we should focus on the way people want to live.”
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了建立15分钟城市生活圈的优点及可能遇到的挑战。
12.What is a feature of the so-called 15-minute city?
A.Better schools are built in the suburbs.
B.People are required to walk or ride bikes.
C.All important daily things are close by.
D.Greenhouse gases are reduced to net zero.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Actually, all key things in daily life—work, food, schools and entertainment—are within a 15-minute walk.”可知,这种城市生活圈的特征是:将日常生活所必要的设施都规划在一起。故选C。
答案 C
13.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The difficulties of redesigning.
B.The benefits of a 15-minute city.
C.The harms of living in big cities.
D.The costs to build 15-minute cities.
解析 主旨大意题。根据第四段的主旨句“Besides reducing greenhouse gases, there are lots of ‘co-benefits’ for people who live in 15-minute cities.”可知,本段主要介绍了15分钟城市带来的好处。故选B。
答案 B
14.Which of the following best explains “obstacle” underlined in paragraph 5?
A.Failure. B.Plan.
C.Change. D.Problem.
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词前“But one challenge to building 15-minute cities across France is financial. Many banks are still unwilling to provide loans for mixed-use developments, because they are still a relatively uncommon way to build communities. Other barriers have to do with parking in a more heavily populated area.”及下文“When couples have kids, they often leave cities for suburbs, which they think have better schools.”可知,在法国各地建设15分钟城市的挑战有财政问题,包括银行不愿意提供贷款,人口稠密地区无法停车。其中最大的障碍包括公共学校。所以画线单词指的应是规划及建设15分钟城市生活圈时会遇到的挑战,意为“问题,障碍”。故选D。
答案 D
15.What is the key to putting Carlos Moreno's idea into use successfully?
A.Urban residents' acceptance.
B.The available urban space.
C.People's willingness to lend money.
D.The governmental support.
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“But if we want to successfully introduce a 15-minute city approach to an area, we should focus on the way people want to live.”可知,想要成功地将15分钟城市的模式引入一个地区,必须符合人们想要的生活方式,也就是说城市居民是否能够接受。故选A。
答案 A

How to Turn Your Dreams into Reality
Do you have dreams or plans about things you'd love to have or achieve? Of course you do! We all do.Nevertheless,dreaming is the easy part. 16 The good news is that there are proven techniques that can get you from where you are to where you want to be.Follow this process to bring your dreams into reality.
Turn your dream into a goal.
When you have a goal,you have a true target.For a greater chance of success,your plan should have a deadline and it must be measurable. 17 Give yourself the gift of setting a deadline and things will start to happen.Make your goal as desirable as possible without being unrealistic.If you feel that your goal is unreasonable,it's much more difficult to encourage yourself to actually pursue it.
Prioritize (优先处理) your goal daily.
18 You give instructions to your brain thousands of times a day.Let your mind know that your goal is something more important than “I feel like eating a ham sandwich” or “I need to stop at the grocery store on the way home”.
19
Difficult goals can rarely be achieved alone: you're likely to need some help and guidance.Look at the list you made and see the things that you already have in your life and that could help you on your path.
Track your progress.
Measure your progress each day.Use the old fashioned paper and pencil or take advantage of the latest smartphone app. 20 You can only adjust your approach if you know how you're doing.Consider making a chart if that's applicable to your goal.
A.Classify your available resources.
B.Read and write your goal each day.
C.Make a list of negative associations.
D.Tracking is critical to making continued progress.
E.Turning those dreams into reality is the challenge.
F.It has been said that dreams are goals without a deadline.
G.So make a list of all the negative stuff that slips into your mind.

答案 E
17.解析 根据下文“Give yourself the gift of setting a deadline and things will start to happen.”可知,要给你自己设定一个梦想实现的截止日期,然后事情就会逐渐开始进行。F项(有人说,梦想是没有期限的目标。)符合文意。且F项和本段标题句“Turn your dream into a goal.(把你的梦想变成一个目标。)”表述内容一致。
答案 F
18.解析 根据本段标题句“Prioritize(优先处理)your goal daily.”可知,本段建议每天优先处理你的目标。B项(每天读和写你的目标。)符合段意。goal为复现词。
答案 B
19.解析 本空为本段标题句。根据本段中“Look at the list you made and see the things that you already have in your life and that could help you on your path.(看看你列的清单,看看你已经拥有的可以在你的人生道路上帮助你的东西。)”可知,A项(对可用资源进行分类。)能概括本段内容。
答案 A
20.解析 根据本段标题句“Track your progress.”可知,本段建议跟踪你的进步。D项(跟踪对于取得持续进步是至关重要的。)与标题句内容一致,符合语境。
答案 D

阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was eight years old,my seven-year-old cousin,Juliana,got sick.My brother and I were in the family room watching television when my mom came in to tell us the bad news.I wasn't really sure what a heart operation meant,but I could tell it wasn't a good thing.Juliana's family was on a tight budget,and so was mine.My parents' faces were full of worry and tears,and that was enough to make me cry,too.
When we went to see Juliana in the hospital,she was lying in bed,and she had tubes and other things on her.It was confusing and scary.
The treatments continued,but Juliana was weaker and weaker.Every time I visited her,it was hard for me to believe her change.She seemed to lose all her strength and her lovely face turned pale.She lost a lot of weight even though she had proper food.As a child,I really couldn't understand what the doctors were doing to her—it seemed like they were making her feel worse.
Seeing my cousin in so much pain made me feel like my own heart was aching.Something needed to be done.I knew I wanted to help her get better faster,but at eight years old,I wasn't sure how I could make a difference—I just knew I had to do something to help her.
One night after we visited Juliana,all the way home I couldn't stop thinking about her.A hospital can be a very scary and cold place.I imagined how lonely Juliana must have felt lying there during the night.
When we got home,I sat down at our kitchen table.I always liked writing stories and drawing pictures,and I started working at it like I had done so many other nights.But this night was different—I was thinking about Juliana.I thought,“Juliana is going to receive rehabilitation training (康复训练), but money is tight.What if I can sell my drawings? Then I can raise money to help her get well faster.” I told my parents what I thought.
