Finishing her trip, which will take over two months, she'll become the youngest woman to fly all the way around the globe alone. Rutherford, who’s British-Belgian, plans to fly across five continents, through 52 countries. Shaesta Waiz, the current record holder, was 30 years old when flying around the world. Hearing Rutherford is trying to break her record, she thinks highly of it although many people hold that she just wants to show off her flying skills and won’t make it to the end. This trip, which is in a small two-seater plane called a microlight, is something Rutherford has dreamed about for a long time. She's been learning to fly planes since she was 14. She got her pilot's license in 2020 and has hundreds of hours of flying practice. Rutherford's parents are both pilots, and they helped her practice. Her father is a professional pilot who delivers planes to people around the world. Rutherford came with him on many of his trips. Her solo (独自的) flight is anything but a romantic one. To follow her route, Rutherford needs to be able to see, since her plane can't be guided using its instruments alone. So she can’t fly at night or in bad weather. To avoid clouds, she has to fly close to the land or ocean, which means she's going to encounter a lot of unexpected situations. Because of this, Rutherford worked hard to prepare for emergencies. She has even been trained in escaping from a plane landing in the ocean. She plans to visit local youth groups in each place on the flight, appealing to them to attach importance to education and explore areas like flying, science, mathematics, and engineering. “It’s an easy thing to say, but just go for it,” Rutherford says. “If you don’t try and see how high you can fly, then you’ll never know.” 4. What is Waiz’s attitude to Rutherford's flight around the world by herself? A. Unclear. B. Favorable. C. Tolerant. D. Doubtful. 5. What does paragraph 3 focus on concerning Rutherford? A. Her flight background. B. Her well-equipped plane. C. Her dream for a pilot's license. D. Her accompanying her father’s flying. 6. What can be inferred about Rutherford's solo flight? A. It’ll be romantic. B. It’ll be cost-effective. C. It’ll be tough. D. It’ll be history-changing. 7. Why does Rutherford plan to visit local youth groups in each place? A. To prepare them for future jobs. B. To help them see their strengths. C. To raise money for their education. D. To motivate them to be aggressive. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【分析】本文属于记叙文。19岁的扎拉·卢瑟福（Zara Rutherford）正独自驾一架小飞机环游世界。当她结束为期两个多月的旅行时，她将成为最年轻的独自环球飞行的女性。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 “Hearing Rutherford is trying to break her record, she thinks highly of it(听说Rutherford正努力打破纪录，她高度赞赏这种行为)”可知，Waiz对卢瑟福发起的挑战是持赞赏态度的。注意：本句中的she指的是Waiz。故选B。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据本段中的“She's been learning to fly planes since she was 14. She got her pilot's license in 2020(卢瑟福从14岁起就开始学习驾驶飞机，并在2020年拿到了飞行员执照，有数百小时的飞行练习)”及“Rutherford's parents are both pilots, and they helped her practice.(卢瑟福的父母都是飞行员，他们帮助她训练飞行)”可知，本段主要介绍了卢瑟福的飞行背景。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“To follow her route，Rutherford needs to be able to see, since her plane can't be guided using its instruments alone. So she can’t fly at night or in bad weather. To avoid clouds, she has to fly close to the land or ocean, which means she's going to encounter a lot of unexpected situations. Because of this, Rutherford worked hard to prepare for emergencies.(为了遵循她的飞行路线，卢瑟福需要用眼睛观察，因为她的飞机不能仅靠仪器来导航，这意味着她不能在晚上或恶劣天气飞行。为了避开云层，她必须靠近陆地或海洋飞行，这会给她带来很多意想不到的情况，为此，卢瑟福甚至接受过飞机在海上降落时逃生的训练)”可推知，她这次航行很艰难。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据题干中“plan to visit local youth groups in each place” 将答案定位到最后一段。最后一段Rutherford谈到“If you don’t try and see how high you can fly, then you’ll never know.(如果你不试着看看自己能飞多高，那你永远也不会知道)”说明她希望年轻人积极进取。故选D。 C The willingness to learn from failures is very important. And there are certainly many people who have overcome failures on their way to success. But, there are still a couple of questions about failures that are worth delving into: Do most people actually learn from failures? Why or why not? These questions were studied in 2024 by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Minhee Kim. They started by exploring whether people overestimated (高估) the likelihood that someone who had failed would succeed on their next attempt. In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to estimate the chance that someone who had taken an exam to become a lawyer, nurse, or teacher and failed would pass on the next attempt. This question was interesting, because the actual rates of success were already known (35% for lawyers, 43% for nurses, and 48% for teachers). But in each case, the participants significantly overestimated the likelihood that someone retesting would pass (58% for lawyers, 63% for nurses, and 67% for teachers). In another experiment they asked the participants to predict the likelihood that a heart attack survivor would make positive changes in their behavior. Without any additional information, they predicted that 62% of survivors would change their behavior. But the actual percentage was 47%. These experiments suggest that the typical opinion about learning from failures needs some revision. As shown in the study, we often confuse what is with what ought to be. Yes, we ought to learn from failures. But often we don’t because it is too painful for us to analyze and learn from our failures. So when we fail to achieve our goals, it is necessary for us to recognize that without significant effort to change our behavior, we are likely to fail again in the future. 8. What does the author mean by “delving into” in paragraph 1? A. Exploring. B. Recommending. C. Forgetting. D. Confusing. 9. What are the statistics in the text mainly about? A. People can’t learn from their failures. B. Failures’ benefits might be overestimated. C. It is very painful for us to face our failures. D. Some people can learn more from their failures. 10. Why do most of us fail to learn from our failures? A. Very little help is available for us. B. We are unaware of the problems. C. The consequences are not serious. D. It is hard to change our behavior. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a rare phenomenon. B. To review a recent study. C. To argue against a typical opinion. D. To show human weakness. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要基于2024年的相关实验研究，探讨人们对“从失败中学习”的认知偏差，指出多数人高估了从失败中成功改进的可能性，并分析背后原因。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“But, there are still a couple of questions about failures that are worth delving into: Do most people actually learn from failures? Why or why not?(但关于失败，仍有两个值得delving into的问题：大多数人真的能从失败中学习吗？若是如此，原因何在？若不能，又为何？)”以及第二段“These questions were studied in 2024 by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Minhee Kim.(2024年，Lauren Eskreis-Winkler与Minhee Kim针对这些问题展开了研究)”可推测，此处指关于失败有两个值得探索的问题，于是有了下文的研究。选项A“Exploring”意为“探索”，与此相符。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This question was interesting, because the actual rates of success were already known (35% for lawyers, 43% for nurses, and 48% for teachers). But in each case, the participants significantly overestimated the likelihood that someone retesting would pass (58% for lawyers, 63% for nurses, and 67% for teachers).(这个问题的研究价值在于，这些考试的实际通过率是已知的——律师资格考试为35%，护士资格考试为43%，教师资格考试为48%。但在每种情况下，参与者都大幅高估了重考者的通过率，分别给出了 58%（律师）、63%（护士）和 67%（教师）的估算。)”以及第四段“In another experiment, they asked the participants to predict the likelihood that a heart attack survivor would make positive changes in their behavior. Without any additional information, they predicted that 62% of survivors would change their behavior. But the actual percentage was 47%.(在另一项实验中，他们要求参与者预测心脏病幸存者在行为上做出积极改变的可能性。在没有任何额外信息的情况下，他们预测62%的幸存者会改变他们的行为。但实际比例是47%)”可知，参与者对律师、护士、教师重考通过率的预估（58%、63%、67%）远高于实际通过率（35%、43%、48%），对心脏病发作幸存者行为改变概率的预估（62%）也高于实际比例（47%）。这些数据均表明人们高估了失败带来的“益处”——即从失败中改进并成功的可能性。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“But often we don’t because it is too painful for us to analyze and learn from our failures. So when we fail to achieve our goals, it is necessary for us to recognize that without significant effort to change our behavior, we are likely to fail again in the future.(因为分析失败、从中吸取教训的过程对我们而言太过痛苦。因此，当我们未能实现目标时，必须清醒地认识到：若不付出巨大努力去改变自身行为，未来我们很可能会再次失败)”可知，我们难以从失败中学习，本质是因为分析失败、从中吸取教训的过程很痛苦，而改变自身行为需要付出巨大努力，即改变行为本身存在难度。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“These experiments suggest that the typical opinion about learning from failures needs some revision.(这些实验表明，人们对“从失败中学习”普遍认知有待修正)”以及全文内容可知，作者通过呈现2024年的两项实验数据，指出人们普遍认为“能从失败中学习”的固有观点存在偏差，需要修正，核心目的是反驳这一典型认知。故选C。 D Fabrizio Fidati, who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago, had not experienced the feeling of temperature in his missing fingers until trials for a technology unlocked the cool of iced water and heat of a stove burner for him. Eventually, the researchers hope it could lead to a more natural feeling of loved ones when he is wearing his prosthetic (义肢). With thermal electrodes( 热电极) placed on the skin of their remaining arm, amputees such as Fidati reported feeling hot or cold in their phantom(幻象) hand and fingers, as well as directly on the arm, according to the trials by the Swiss university EPFL. The 59-year old Italian is among 27 amputees who took part in the trials, with 17 of them reporting a successful test. Those tested have also been able to differentiate between plastic, glass and copper，pointing to where they feel the feelings on images of a hand. “By stimulating (刺激) specific parts of the remaining arm of the amputees, we could induce the sense of touch in the missing phantom hands,“ said Dr. Solaiman Shokur, a senior scientist at EPFL who co-led the study. “What they feel in this phantom hand is similar to what they feel on their undamaged hand.” The technology, which has been tested for more than two years, does not need to be implanted. It can be worn on the skin and combined with a regular prosthetic. Dr. Silvestro Micera, who co-led the study with Dr. Shokur, said they now wanted to test the device on a larger scale before combining it with other technologies to improve sense of touch in amputees. “We think that we could give people a better sense of embodiment of their hands and maybe even give them the possibility to feel their loved ones in a much more natural way,” Dr. Shokur added. 12. What happened to Fabrizio Fidati? A. He carried out an experiment. B. He was unable to sense iced water. C. He accidentally lost his right hand. D. He encountered a traffic accident recently. 13. What does the underlined word“induce“ in paragraph 4 mean? A. Predict. B. Increase. C. Imagine. D. Cause. 14. What is Dr. Silvestro Micera’s plan for the near future? A. Perfecting the device. B. Cutting down on costs. C. Employing more volunteers. D. Producing the device on a large scale. 15. Where is the text probably taken from? A. An educational speech. B. A news report. C. A course brochure. D. A movie review. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道的是一项新的技术给戴上假肢的人带的喜讯，描述了该装置的原理以及其测试的情况。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Fabrizio Fidati, who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago( Fabrizio Fidati在25年前的一次事故中失去了右手。)”可知，Fabrizio Fidati在25年前得一次意外中失去了右臂。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“What they feel in this phantom hand is similar to what they feel on their undamaged hand.(他们在这只幻手上的感觉和他们在未受伤的手上的感觉很相似。)”可知，通过实验，这只幻手上的感觉与未受伤的手上的感觉是一样的，划线单词前的“By stimulating (刺激) specific parts of the remaining arm of the amputees(通过刺激截肢者剩余手臂的特定部位)”可知，通过刺激剩余手臂的特定部位，应该可以使在失去的手臂上产生感觉，由此可猜测，该单词的意思与“使产生”相近。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据尾段中的“Dr. Silvestro Micera, who co-led the study with Dr. Shokur, said they now wanted to test the device on a larger scale before combining it with other technologies to improve sense of touch in amputees.(与Dr. Shokur,博士共同领导这项研究的Dr. Silvestro Micera博士说，他们现在希望在将该设备与其他技术结合起来改善截肢者的触觉之前，对该设备进行更大规模的测试。)”可知，Dr. Silvestro Micera想在与其他技术联合前进行大量的测试，为了改善被截肢人的触感，由此可知，Dr. Silvestro Micera的近期计划是完善该设备。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Fabrizio Fidati, who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago, had not experienced the feeling of temperature in his missing fingers until trials for a technology unlocked the cool of iced water and heat of a stove burner for him.( Fabrizio Fidati在25年前的一次事故中失去了右手，直到一项技术的试验为他解锁了冰水的凉爽和炉子的热量，他才体验到失去的手指的温度感。)”可知，本文以在一次事故中失去右手的Fabrizio Fidati在一项技术测试后，让他重新感受到了温度引出本文的主题，结合下文中描述的该装技术的原理及其测试的情况可知，本文介绍的是一项技术带给戴假肢者带来的喜讯，所以本文很可能是来自于一篇新闻报道。故选B项。 七选五 You might think that if you’ve been born with working ears, listening shouldn’t be all that hard. But up to one in four leaders struggles with listening skills, and ifs common to be a bad listener in day-to-day life. ___16___One answer is that many of us listen to respond rather than to hear what’s being said. When we’re chatting with someone, we’re constantly thinking of what we’re going to say next instead of actually processing what the other party is saying.____17____ We do it because we want to be good conversationalists and avoid uncomfortable pauses (停顿) in the discussion.____18____The solution, according to psychologist Kenneth E. Miller, is incredibly simple. “Before you respond in a conversation, take a breath. Not an enormous, loud, obvious breath that screams out ‘I am trying a new technique for better listening!’ No, just a normal, simple, ordinary breath. That’s it.” Could something so small make a difference? Yes, insists Miller.___19___“I find I interrupt people a lot less often,” he reports. “In response, people seem more relaxed when we are talking.” He’s not the only one to spot a difference. On New York Magazine’s blog, The Cut, Katie Heany describes a sort of natural experiment that shows the power of simply taking a breath before you respond. “A friend of a friend who currently lives in France often pauses a lot before she replies, mainly because her French is only somewhat fluent. As a result, all her French friends tell her she’s an amazing listener. This is not something she hears much in English,” she writes. ___20___All you need is this simple technique. Go ahead, give it a try and see if it works for you. A. The moment they’re done speaking, we leap in with a comment or question. B. How can we be a good listener? C. This is because we are trying to make a reasonable response at once. D. Why do we struggle with listening? E. He’s noticed positive effects in everyday conversations. F. You don’t have to be barely fluent in a language to achieve “great listener” status. G. But often the result is the other person feels unheard. 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. G 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【分析】本文是说明文。文章告诉我们如何成为一个好的倾听者，通过在交谈中简单的呼吸、停顿的方法，可以帮助我们成为更好的倾听者。 【16题详解】 上文“But up to one in four leaders struggles with listening skills, and ifs common to be a bad listener in day-to-day life. (但是，多达四分之一的领导者在倾听技巧方面存在困难，在日常生活中，成为一个糟糕的倾听者是很常见的)”说明在日常生活中，我们常常在倾听方面存在困难。根据下文“One answer is that many of us listen to respond rather than to hear what’s being said. (一个答案是，我们中的许多人听的是回应，而不是听别人在说什么)”可知，后文给出了在倾听方面存在困难的原因。由此可推断出，空格处应该是一个问句，D项Why do we struggle with listening?(为什么我们在倾听上存在困难？)能过承接上文话题，并引出下文的答案。故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“When we’re chatting with someone, we’re constantly thinking of what we’re going to say next instead of actually processing what the other party is saying. (当我们和别人聊天时，我们会不断地想我们接下来要说什么，而不是实际处理对方说的话)”说明当我们和别人聊天时，我们在不断地想我们接下来要说什么。A项The moment they’re done speaking, we leap in with a comment or question.(他们一说完，我们就会提出评论或问题)正是我们不断想我们接下来要说什么的原因，同时也是为了成为好的谈话者，承接下文“We do it because we want to be good conversationalists and avoid uncomfortable pauses (停顿) in the discussion.(我们这样做是因为我们想成为好的谈话者，避免讨论中令人不舒服的停顿)”。故选A。 【18题详解】 上文“When we’re chatting with someone, we’re constantly thinking of what we’re going to say next instead of actually processing what the other party is saying.”说明当我们和别人聊天时，我们会不断地想我们接下来要说什么，而不是实际处理对方说的话。G项But often the result is the other person feels unheard.(但是结果往往是另一个人感觉被忽视了)正是上文做法会导致的一种尴尬的结果，符合题意。故选G。 【19题详解】 上文“Could something so small make a difference? Yes, insists Miller.(这么小的事情会有什么不同吗？是的，坚持米勒)”及下文““I find I interrupt people a lot less often,” he reports. “In response, people seem more relaxed when we are talking,”(“我发现自己打断别人的次数要少得多。” 他说。“因此，在我们交谈时，人们似乎更放松。”)”说明米勒注意到了一些积极影响。E项He’s noticed positive effects in everyday conversations.(他注意到了日常对话中的积极影响)符合题意。故选E。 【20题详解】 上文“A friend of a friend who currently lives in France often pauses a lot before she replies, mainly because her French is only somewhat fluent. As a result, all her French friends tell her she’s an amazing listener.(一个目前住在法国的朋友的朋友经常在她回答之前停顿很多，主要是因为她的法语不太流利。因此，她所有的法国朋友都说她是个了不起的倾听者)”说明成为一名了不起的倾听者，未必非要精通一门语言。F项You don’t have to be barely fluent in a language to achieve “great listener” status.(你不必勉强精通一门语言去获得“伟大的倾听者”的地位)符合题意。故选F。 三、完形填空 In a recent cross-country event in Navarre, Spain, 24-year-old Spanish runner Ivan Fernandez Anaya faced a difficult decision. The ____21____ was fierce (激烈的), with Ivan in second place behind Abel Mutai, a Kenyan runner. With victory within reach, Ivan was expected to ____22____ first place. However, something ____23____ happened near the finish line. As the runners neared the end, Mutai ____24____ thought the end of the race came about 10 meters sooner than it did. Believing he had already ____25____ the finish line, Mutai stopped running. Ivan noticed the ____26____ immediately. At the last moment, he heard the audience telling Mutai to ____27____, but Mutai, who did not speak Spanish, could not ____28____ the calls. Realizing what had happened, Ivan made a ____29____ decision. Instead of ____30____ the situation, he slowed his pace and stayed behind, guiding Mutai to the ____31____ finish line. Ivan later explained, “I didn’t deserve (应得) to win it. I did what I had to do. He was the ____32____ winner.” Although Ivan’s action may not have won him the match, it won him ____33____. His sportsmanship was celebrated by many. Ivan’s act of ____34____ reminds us that true victory lies not only in winning a race but also in ____35____ the right thing, even when it comes at a personal cost. 21.

Even with thousands of tourists stopping by Buckingham Palace to take photos beside them, they are seldom seen breaking the rules. However, a little boy dressed as a soldier received reply from the guards when he raised his hand during their march. A 9-year-old boy, unfortunately, is a boy with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) , but he is also lucky. He has a loving, good-tempered and strong family. They wanted him to be a self- loving and self-reliant person. The attempts of his family were at work, and he grew up to be a good boy with a kind heart and some self-care ability. One day, the boy and his families visited Buckingham Palace. He showed great interest in the King’s Guard, especially the King’s Guard clothes. He thought they were stoic and he wanted to be a real soldier like the King’s Guard. “Mom, can I wear a perfect copy of the King’s Guard clothes and march with them? Just beside ... ?” “No, you can’t march with them. They stand for our country and people,” his father said with a smile. Hearing that, the boy’s eyes were filled with tears and said, “I just want to march with them beside their area and raise my hand to show my respect.” His parents were regretful and said sorry to him. And their parents told him they decided to meet his need. He was very excited. “How about next weekend?” the boy said. “No problem!” his mom answered. Next weekend, the boy was wearing a perfect copy of the King’s Guard clothes with a bright red jacket, white belt and black hat. He waited for the King’s Guard to move forward. A few minutes later, the King’s Guard was coming. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At that time, the boy marched forward and raised his left hand. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the King’s Guard left the area, the boy ran to his parents. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文: At that time, the boy marched forward and raised his left hand. Rather than be refused to take notice, a couple of the guards were seen giving the boy slight reply. One man carrying a flag saw the young boy marching with a bright red jacket, white belt and black hat beside their area, he appeared to smile his way, and later, one of the last men marching gave the boy a couple of nods as if he was also part of the King’s Guard. Obviously, both of them knew the boy’s Down syndrome and also felt the boy’s respect. And his parents were taking some photos for him. After the King’s Guard left the area the boy ran to his parents. His face was red, excitement in the heart, as a deer jumping with joy. He hugged his parents and gave an exciting thumb’s up. Like many, he probably didn’t expect for the guards to act like they saw him, so the fact that he received slight reply was likely an exciting surprise. His parents showed him the photos with a big smile and the boy was touched deeply. It was his families’ perseverance, love, good-temper that made the boy have a kind heart and some self-care ability. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个患有唐氏综合症的男孩想要穿上一件仿的国王卫队的衣服，和国王卫队一起行军，起初父母并不同意，但是后面在小男孩的述说下，父母同意了，当小男孩穿着仿的国王卫队的衣服跟着国王卫队时，他们给了小男孩鼓舞人心的回应，这让男孩很开心。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这时，男孩大步向前，举起了左手。”可知，第一段可描写男孩跟随国王卫队一起行军时，国王卫队的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“国王卫队离开后，男孩跑向他的父母。”可知，第二段可描写小男孩完成梦想后的反应。 2. 续写线索：参观白金汉宫——想和国王卫队一起行军——父母支持——和国王卫队一起行军——得到回应——感到兴奋。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①似乎在微笑：appear to smile/seem to be smiling ②收到：receive/accept ③展示：show/display 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ② 惊喜：surprise/amazement 【点睛】[高分句型 1]One man carrying a flag saw the young boy marching with a bright red jacket, white belt and black hat beside their area, he appeared to smile his way, and later, one of the last men marching gave the boy a couple of nods as if he was also part of the King’s Guard.(运用了as if引导的方式状语从句) [高分句型 2]It was his families’ perseverance, love, good-temper that made the boy have a kind heart and some self-care ability.(运用了强调句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湖南省常德市汉寿县第一中学2025—2026学年 高三上学期10月月考英语试卷 一、听力选择题 1．What will the woman do next?

B 19-years-old Zara Rutherford is flying around the world by herself. Finishing her trip, which will take over two months, she'll become the youngest woman to fly all the way around the globe alone. Rutherford, who’s British-Belgian, plans to fly across five continents, through 52 countries. Shaesta Waiz, the current record holder, was 30 years old when flying around the world. Hearing Rutherford is trying to break her record, she thinks highly of it although many people hold that she just wants to show off her flying skills and won’t make it to the end. This trip, which is in a small two-seater plane called a microlight, is something Rutherford has dreamed about for a long time. She's been learning to fly planes since she was 14. She got her pilot's license in 2020 and has hundreds of hours of flying practice. Rutherford's parents are both pilots, and they helped her practice. Her father is a professional pilot who delivers planes to people around the world. Rutherford came with him on many of his trips. Her solo (独自的) flight is anything but a romantic one. To follow her route, Rutherford needs to be able to see, since her plane can't be guided using its instruments alone. So she can’t fly at night or in bad weather. To avoid clouds, she has to fly close to the land or ocean, which means she's going to encounter a lot of unexpected situations. Because of this, Rutherford worked hard to prepare for emergencies. She has even been trained in escaping from a plane landing in the ocean. She plans to visit local youth groups in each place on the flight, appealing to them to attach importance to education and explore areas like flying, science, mathematics, and engineering. “It’s an easy thing to say, but just go for it,” Rutherford says. “If you don’t try and see how high you can fly, then you’ll never know.” 4. What is Waiz’s attitude to Rutherford's flight around the world by herself? A. Unclear. B. Favorable. C. Tolerant. D. Doubtful. 5. What does paragraph 3 focus on concerning Rutherford? A. Her flight background. B. Her well-equipped plane. C. Her dream for a pilot's license. D. Her accompanying her father’s flying. 6. What can be inferred about Rutherford's solo flight? A. It’ll be romantic. B. It’ll be cost-effective. C. It’ll be tough. D. It’ll be history-changing. 7. Why does Rutherford plan to visit local youth groups in each place? A. To prepare them for future jobs. B. To help them see their strengths. C. To raise money for their education. D. To motivate them to be aggressive. C The willingness to learn from failures is very important. And there are certainly many people who have overcome failures on their way to success. But, there are still a couple of questions about failures that are worth delving into: Do most people actually learn from failures? Why or why not? These questions were studied in 2024 by Lauren Eskreis-Winkler and Minhee Kim. They started by exploring whether people overestimated (高估) the likelihood that someone who had failed would succeed on their next attempt. In one experiment, the researchers asked participants to estimate the chance that someone who had taken an exam to become a lawyer, nurse, or teacher and failed would pass on the next attempt. This question was interesting, because the actual rates of success were already known (35% for lawyers, 43% for nurses, and 48% for teachers). But in each case, the participants significantly overestimated the likelihood that someone retesting would pass (58% for lawyers, 63% for nurses, and 67% for teachers). In another experiment, they asked the participants to predict the likelihood that a heart attack survivor would make positive changes in their behavior. Without any additional information, they predicted that 62% of survivors would change their behavior. But the actual percentage was 47%. These experiments suggest that the typical opinion about learning from failures needs some revision. As shown in the study, we often confuse what is with what ought to be. Yes, we ought to learn from failures. But often we don’t because it is too painful for us to analyze and learn from our failures. So when we fail to achieve our goals, it is necessary for us to recognize that without significant effort to change our behavior, we are likely to fail again in the future. 8. What does the author mean by “delving into” in paragraph 1? A. Exploring. B. Recommending. C. Forgetting. D. Confusing. 9. What are the statistics in the text mainly about? A. People can’t learn from their failures. B. Failures’ benefits might be overestimated. C. It is very painful for us to face our failures. D Some people can learn more from their failures. 10. Why do most of us fail to learn from our failures? A. Very little help is available for us. B. We are unaware of the problems. C. The consequences are not serious. D. It is hard to change our behavior. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce a rare phenomenon. B. To review a recent study. C. To argue against a typical opinion. D. To show human weakness. D Fabrizio Fidati, who lost his right hand in an accident 25 years ago, had not experienced the feeling of temperature in his missing fingers until trials for a technology unlocked the cool of iced water and heat of a stove burner for him. Eventually, the researchers hope it could lead to a more natural feeling of loved ones when he is wearing his prosthetic (义肢). With thermal electrodes( 热电极) placed on the skin of their remaining arm, amputees such as Fidati reported feeling hot or cold in their phantom(幻象) hand and fingers, as well as directly on the arm, according to the trials by the Swiss university EPFL. The 59-year old Italian is among 27 amputees who took part in the trials, with 17 of them reporting a successful test. Those tested have also been able to differentiate between plastic, glass and copper，pointing to where they feel the feelings on images of a hand. “By stimulating (刺激) specific parts of the remaining arm of the amputees, we could induce the sense of touch in the missing phantom hands,“ said Dr. Solaiman Shokur, a senior scientist at EPFL who co-led the study. “What they feel in this phantom hand is similar to what they feel on their undamaged hand.” The technology, which has been tested for more than two years, does not need to be implanted. It can be worn on the skin and combined with a regular prosthetic. Dr. Silvestro Micera, who co-led the study with Dr. Shokur, said they now wanted to test the device on a larger scale before combining it with other technologies to improve sense of touch in amputees. “We think that we could give people a better sense of embodiment of their hands and maybe even give them the possibility to feel their loved ones in a much more natural way,” Dr. Shokur added. 12. What happened to Fabrizio Fidati? A. He carried out an experiment. B. He was unable to sense iced water. C. He accidentally lost his right hand. D. He encountered a traffic accident recently. 13. What does the underlined word“induce“ in paragraph 4 mean? A. Predict. B. Increase. C. Imagine. D. Cause. 14. What is Dr. Silvestro Micera’s plan for the near future? A. Perfecting the device. B. Cutting down on costs. C. Employing more volunteers. D. Producing the device on a large scale. 15. Where is the text probably taken from? A. An educational speech. B. A news report. C. A course brochure. D. A movie review. 七选五 You might think that if you’ve been born with working ears, listening shouldn’t be all that hard. But up to one in four leaders struggles with listening skills, and ifs common to be a bad listener in day-to-day life. ___16___One answer is that many of us listen to respond rather than to hear what’s being said. When we’re chatting with someone, we’re constantly thinking of what we’re going to say next instead of actually processing what the other party is saying.____17____ We do it because we want to be good conversationalists and avoid uncomfortable pauses (停顿) in the discussion.____18____The solution, according to psychologist Kenneth E. Miller, is incredibly simple. “Before you respond in a conversation, take a breath. Not an enormous, loud, obvious breath that screams out ‘I am trying a new technique for better listening!’ No, just a normal, simple, ordinary breath. That’s it.” Could something so small make a difference? Yes, insists Miller.___19___“I find I interrupt people a lot less often,” he reports. “In response, people seem more relaxed when we are talking.” He’s not the only one to spot a difference. On New York Magazine’s blog, The Cut, Katie Heany describes a sort of natural experiment that shows the power of simply taking a breath before you respond. “A friend of a friend who currently lives in France often pauses a lot before she replies, mainly because her French is only somewhat fluent. As a result, all her French friends tell her she’s an amazing listener. This is not something she hears much in English,” she writes. ___20___All you need is this simple technique. Go ahead, give it a try and see if it works for you. A. The moment they’re done speaking, we leap in with a comment or question. B. How can we be a good listener? C. This is because we are trying to make a reasonable response at once. D. Why do we struggle with listening? E. He’s noticed positive effects in everyday conversations. F. You don’t have to be barely fluent in a language to achieve “great listener” status. G. But often the result is the other person feels unheard. 三、完形填空 In a recent cross-country event in Navarre, Spain, 24-year-old Spanish runner Ivan Fernandez Anaya faced a difficult decision.
