(2025湖南长沙高二期中)
In today's motivational literature,failure is
often viewed as something to be celebrated.
Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the
words of the novelist Samuel Beckett-"Fail
again.Fail better."It seems that disappointments
are an essential stepping stone to success,a
turning point in our life story that will ultimately
end in victory.
However,psychological researches find
most of us struggle to handle failure constructively.
In other words,we fail to“fail forward”.We
find ways to devalue the task at which we
failed,and become less motivated to persevere
6
and reach our goals.This phenomenon is known
as the "sour-grape effect",which was discovered
by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that the“sour-grape effect'”
is a self-protective mechanism."Most of us
picture ourselves as competent people,so when
external feedback suggests otherwise,it poses
a serious threat to that self-image,"he says.
"The easiest way out is to deny or explain
away the external signal,so we can reduce the
inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of
self.We do this even without noticing."
If you have one bad interview for your
dream job,you might convince yourself that you
don't really want it at all,and stop applying for
similar positions.The same goes if you fail to
impress at a sports trial,or if a publisher
rejects the first submission of your manuscript.
"We tend to explain away our shortcomings
and convince ourselves our 'Plan C'is actually
our‘Plan A’,”Sjastad says.
It doesn't mean we should persevere in
goals all the time.It can be healthy to change
ambitions if the process is no longer making us
happy.But the“sour-grape effect”may lead us
to come to this decision prematurely,rather
than hanging on a little and seeing whether we
might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable.By learning to
face the disappointment instead of devaluing its
importance and pretending nothing happened,you
may find it easier to achieve your goals.
1.Why does the author mention the speech of
inspirational speakers in Paragraph 1?
A.To offer an example to handle failure.
B.To share a positive attitude towards failure.
C.To describe a common understanding of
1
failure.
D.To emphasize the importance of experiencing
failure.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 3 about
the“sour-grape effect'”?
A.It protects us from false feedback.
B.It pictures us as competitive people.
C.It poses a severe threat to self-image.
D.It denies negative feedback to ourselves.
3.What is the author's attitude towards failure?
A.Short-sighted.
B.Wait-and-see.
C.Objective.
D.Skeptical.
4.Which statement would the author most
probably agree with?
A.Don't escape when our self-image is broken.
B.Don't quit when goals no longer make
you happy.
C.Never hesitate to replace“Plan A”with
“Plan C”.
D.Never forget to maintain a positive sense
of self.

As the most typical part of the art of
Chinese language,idioms have contributed to
the inheritance and development of the old
Chinese culture.1 This set of stamps
includes three Chinese idioms often used to
enlighten and encourage people.
The idiom Yu Gong Yi Shan (The Foolish
Old Man Who Removed the Mountains)is
from Liezi.In ancient times,there was an old
man in front of whose house were Taihang and
Wangwu Mountains.2 So he gathered his
family and began to dig the mountain and
move the earth elsewhere,believing that with
their continuous efforts,the mountains would
finally be leveled.3
The idiom Wo Xin Chang Dan (Sleeping
on Brushwood and Tasting Gall)is from
Records of the Grand History.In the Spring
and Autumn Period,the State of Wu defeated
the State of Yue,and captured the king of
Yue,Gou Jian.After he was released and
returned to his country,Gou Jian,never forgetting
his shame,slept on a pile of brushwood and
tasted gall before every meal.4 This story
encourages those who were once defeated to
inspire themselves and struggle hard for recovery.
The idiom Wen Ji Qi Wu (Rising up to
Practice Swordplay upon Hearing the Rooster
Crow)is from The Book of Jin Dynasty.In
the Jin Dynasty,to realize his ambition of serving
the country,Zu Ti rose up every morning at

免的,我们要学会面对失望,而不是贬低它的

不要企图通过逃避失败的方式,来避免失败和
失望。

today's motivational literature,failure is often
viewed as something to be celebrated.Inspirational
speakers are fond of quoting the words of the
novelist Samuel Beckett-'Fail again.Fail
better..’”可知,作者提到励志演讲者引用的话
是想证明如今的励志文学常常将失败视为值
得庆祝的事情。由此可推测出,作者想要描述
人们对失败的普遍理解。故选C项。
2.D细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The
easiest way out is to deny or explain away the
external signal,so we can reduce the inconsistency
and preserve a positive sense of self.”可知,

doesn't mean we should persevere in goals all
the time.It can be healthy to change ambitions
if the process is no longer making us happy.

时,我们可以改变目标,但又不能假装什么都
没发生。因此,作者对待失败的态度是客观
的。故选C项。
4.A推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可
知,作者通过全文的讨论,呼吁大家树立正确
的失败观,警惕“酸葡萄效应”。当我们完美的
自我形象受到外界负面反馈的影响时,不要逃
38
避,不要贬低失败的价值,而是要勇敢地面对,
并从中得到学习和提高。故选A项。
