All his friends love his jokes, and even the teachers think he is very funny. Brian knows that comedy is what he likes best. When he hears about the school’s talent show, he decides to sign up so that he can share his comedy from the stage. He has never done real stand-up comedy before, and he is very excited. But when some of the students find out he will take part, they laugh at him. Brian thinks it does not feel very good when someone laughs at him in a mean way! Brian cannot understand why they are being so unkind to him. For a moment, he thinks about telling the talent show organizers he will not attend. But then he remembers how much his friends and teachers like his jokes. He makes up his mind to go ahead and prepare his comedy routine (表演) for the talent show. Brian decides to do a great job at the talent show to prove to the mean students that they are wrong. Everyone loves his routine, and he wins first prize! Even so, the same students tell Brian he is foolish and that he will never be a successful comedian. Brian just shakes his head and wonders what their problem is. He does not understand, but he realizes that it has nothing to do with him. He happily continues to work towards his goal. As the years go on, Brian meets more people like that. Luckily, they are the minority, and as he works hard to become a comedian, most of the people he meets encourage him and help him to become even funnier.

Indeed, a number of studies have found a relationship between humour and intelligence (智力)。 Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They argue that it takes both cognitive (认知) and emotional ability to process and produce humour. In psychology we use the term “positive humour style” to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships. This type of humour is connected with relationship satisfaction, extroversion (外向性) and high self-respect. Having a humorous outlook on life is also a good strategy. It helps people better manage stress and challenges. Not only do funny people make other people laugh, they also laugh more themselves. And laughter leads to brain changes, which may explain the link between humour and intelligence. Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain. Dopamine not only makes us feel great, but also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables more neural(神经)connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking. Evidence suggests that humour actually bolsters feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. Humour gets people to listen, helps communicate messages and benefits learning. It is a powerful tool that many successful leaders use to enhance group work and organizational culture. Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning. Several studies have showed that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students’ understanding and recall of the topic. 8. What can we learn from the researchers in Austria? A. Less funny people are tough. B. People enjoy dark humour most. C. Funny people are always emotional. D. Humorous people have a smart mind. 9. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The example of positive states. B. The reason why our brain changes. C. The way to be creative in thinking. D. The relation between humor and intelligence. 10. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “bolsters” in paragraph 4? A. Mixes. B. Increases. C. Explains. D. Damages. 11. What can be concluded from the research in education? A. Teachers are always humorous in class. B. Students can understand humour better in class. C. Humorous classes are more effective for learning. D. Effective learning depends on students’ humour levels. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明幽默与高智商相关：幽默提升多巴胺，增强创造力、自信与影响力，有助减压、沟通和学习，是教育及领导力的有效工具。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They argue that it takes both cognitive and emotional ability to process and produce humour.(奥地利的研究人员最近发现，有趣的人，尤其是那些喜欢黑色幽默的人，比不那么有趣的人智商更高。他们认为，处理和产生幽默需要认知和情感能力)”可知，这些研究人员得出结论幽默的人有比较聪明的头脑。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine not only makes us feel great, but also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables more neural connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking.(神经心理学研究发现，经历积极的情绪状态，如快乐、乐趣和幸福，会增加大脑中多巴胺的分泌。多巴胺不仅能让我们感觉良好，还能打开大脑的学习中枢，从而实现更多的神经连接。因此，我们的思维变得更加灵活和创造性)”可知，本段主要讨论了笑如何导致大脑变化，以及多巴胺如何促进学习和神经连接，从而增强思维的灵活性和创造性。这进一步解释了幽默与智力之间的联系。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Humour gets people to listen, helps communicate messages and benefits learning. It is a powerful tool that many successful leaders use to enhance group work and organizational culture.(幽默能让人们倾听，有助于信息交流，有利于学习。这是一个强大的工具，许多成功的领导者使用它来加强团队工作和组织文化)”可知，此处在讲幽默对于学习的好处，能促进学习，由此推测，该划线词意为“提升，提高”。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning. Several studies have showed that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students’ understanding and recall of the topic.(对幽默在教育中的应用的研究也支持幽默是学习的有效辅助这一概念。几项研究表明，幽默的课程对学生来说更有趣，也能增强学生对主题的理解和记忆)”可知，幽默授课对学习更有效。故选C项。 D I remember it like it was yesterday. My freshman year basketball tryouts (选拔赛) had gone surprisingly well. I completed every pass and earned a spot as a solid bench player (替补球员). Then this happened — I missed an easy shot totally for no reason. The next day I got cut from the team. “Fail fast and fail often.” The startup world is filled with statements like this. In technology and entrepreneurship (企业家) circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. A Nature study found that among scientists and entrepreneurs, those who ultimately succeeded had actually failed more often than their less-successful fellows. What set them apart wasn’t luck or genius; it was their ability to learn and adapt quickly after each failure. Sonja Lyubomirsky and Ed Diener, two leading voices in positive psychology, have shown that people who’ve experienced failure sometimes report higher levels of long-term well-being than those who haven’t. Their findings suggest that lasting happiness is fueled less by external wins, like medals or titles, and more by internal sources: purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth. How can we pursue purpose without being consumed by the pain of failure? My suggestion is to rethink purpose, especially “little purpose”, which is about the process, not the outcome. Say you dream of becoming a best-selling writer. That’s wonderful. But even if the book doesn’t make it onto the New York Times list, the act of writing it, of shaping your story, can still be deeply fulfilling. Perhaps my basketball setback could have been redefined (重新定义). Instead of quitting the team entirely, maybe I could have applied to be the equipment manager. I would have stayed close to the sport I loved, and found meaning without needing to be a top athlete. When success isn’t narrowly defined, failure doesn’t close the door. It opens new ones. In this way, failure truly becomes the new success. 12. Why is the author’s basketball experience mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To describe the pain of failure. B. To criticize unfair selection system. C. To introduce the topic of failure. D. To express regret about his performance. 13. What does the study in Nature suggest about successful people? A. They are more likely to fail. B. They are less adaptable to failure. C. They gain valuable lessons from failure. D. They work in the field of high-tech. 14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The short-term joy of success. B. The source of lasting happiness. C. The most rewarding way of living. D. The balance of feeling good and failure. 15. What is the best title for this text? A. Why Failure Is the New Success B How to Get a Sense of Achievement C. The Role of Purpose in Personal Growth D. Humans Learn Better from Direct Experience 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要通过作者自身的经历并结合科学研究与心理学发现，探讨了失败在科技和创业领域以及个人成长中的意义，强调了从失败中学习、重新定义目的的重要性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I remember it like it was yesterday. My freshman year basketball tryouts had gone surprisingly well. I completed every pass and earned a spot as a solid bench player. Then this happened — I missed an easy shot totally for no reason. The next day I got cut from the team. (我对这件事的记忆就像发生在昨天一样。我大一那年的篮球选拔赛进行得出奇顺利。我每次传球都很到位，成功获得了一个稳定的替补球员名额。可之后发生了这样一件事 —— 我莫名其妙地投丢了一个很容易的球。第二天，我就被球队裁掉了。)”以及第二段中““Fail fast and fail often.” The startup world is filled with statements like this. In technology and entrepreneurship circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. (“快速失败，经常失败。”创业圈里充斥着诸如此类的说法。在科技和企业家圈子中，失败已成为一种值得追求而非回避的东西。而科学也正开始支持这一点。)”可知，作者通过讲述自己篮球选拔赛失败的经历，是为了引出了关于“失败”的话题，为后文讨论失败的意义和价值做铺垫。故选C项。 13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A Nature study found that among scientists and entrepreneurs, those who ultimately succeeded had actually failed more often than their less-successful fellows. What set them apart wasn’t luck or genius; it was their ability to learn and adapt quickly after each failure. (《自然》杂志的一项研究发现，在科学家和企业家当中，那些最终成功的人实际上比那些不太成功的人失败的次数更多。使他们脱颖而出的不是运气或天赋，而是他们在每次失败后快速学习和适应的能力。)”可知，《自然》杂志的研究表明，成功的人能从失败中吸取宝贵的教训并快速适应。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Sonja Lyubomirsky and Ed Diener, two leading voices in positive psychology, have shown that people who’ve experienced failure sometimes report higher levels of long-term well-being than those who haven’t. Their findings suggest that lasting happiness is fueled less by external wins, like medals or titles, and more by internal sources: purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth. (积极心理学领域的两位领军人物Sonja Lyubomirsky和Ed Diener的研究表明，经历过失败的人有时比没有经历过失败的人报告的长期幸福感水平更高。他们的研究结果表明，持久的幸福感较少来自外部的胜利，如奖牌或头衔，而更多来自内部源泉：目标、有意义的人际关系和个人成长。)”可知，第三段主要讨论了持久幸福感的来源，即来自内部的目标、有意义的人际关系和个人成长，而非外部的胜利。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“In technology and entrepreneurship circles, failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. (在科技和创业圈，失败已经成为一种追求，而不是避免。科学也开始支持这一点。)”以及最后一段中“When success isn’t narrowly defined, failure doesn’t close the door. It opens new ones. In this way, failure truly becomes the new success. (当成功没有被狭隘地定义时，失败就不会关上大门。它打开了新的大门。这样，失败就真正成为了新的成功。)”可知，文章主要讨论了失败的意义和价值，强调了从失败中学习、重新定义目的的重要性，认为失败可以成为新的成功。所以“Why Failure Is the New Success (为何失败是新的成功)”最契合文章主旨，适宜作为标题使用。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being humorous requires good communication and social skills. ____16____ Let’s explore key communication skills that are important for development a sense of humor. ·____17____ Sharing personal experiences in stories and jokes can make it easier to connect with people.

(具备幽默感需要良好的沟通能力和社交技巧。)”点明了幽默感与沟通、社交能力的关联，下文“Let’s explore key communication skills that are important for development a sense of humor. (让我们来探讨对培养幽默感很重要的关键沟通技巧。)”引出具体的技巧介绍。G项“虽然以下建议可能无法让你快速变得风趣，但它们能帮助你更好地与人建立联系。”承上启下，既承接上文“幽默感需要相关能力”的表述，又自然过渡到下文的技巧分享。故选G。 【17题详解】 下文“Sharing personal experiences in stories and jokes can make it easier to connect with people. The best way to get people to see you as a funny person is to present the most ordinary and relatable aspects of life in an amusing manner. (在故事和笑话中分享个人经历能让你更容易与人产生联结。想让别人觉得你风趣，最好的方式是以有趣的形式呈现生活中最普通、最易引发共鸣的方面。)”强调了分享生活化、有共鸣的内容对展现幽默感的重要性。A项“学会建立共鸣。”作为该段主旨句，精准概括下文核心内容，“relatable”与下文“relatable aspects”直接呼应，符合段落主旨。故选A。 【18题详解】 上文“Practice becoming a quick thinker.

(提升词汇量。)”是该段主题句，下文“But that doesn’t mean expanding your vocabulary won’t help. (但这并不意味着扩充词汇量没有帮助。)”通过转折强调了词汇量的作用。D项“并非所有风趣的人都受过高等教育且词汇量丰富。”承接上文，先指出词汇量并非幽默感的绝对前提，再通过下文的转折突出扩充词汇量的辅助作用，形成逻辑上的转折递进，符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 上文“Don’t be afraid to laugh at yourself. It’s a sign of good self-esteem (自尊) and confidence. (别怕自嘲。这是良好自尊和自信的体现。)”点明了自嘲的积极意义，下文“To develop a sense of humor, start by observing what makes you laugh and try to mux them into your everyday life. Also, don’t take yourself too seriously all the time — learn to laugh at your mistakes and enjoy life’s strange things. (要培养幽默感，先观察什么能让你发笑，并试着把它们融入日常生活。同时，不要总是把自己看得太重——学会为自己的错误发笑，享受生活中奇特的事物。)”补充了培养幽默感的相关做法。C项“此外，这也是缓和气氛的好方法。”承接上文，进一步说明自嘲的额外益处，“Plus”体现递进关系，同时衔接下文的幽默感培养建议，逻辑通顺。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 Last summer I joined an adventure team to explore a tropical jungle.

Emma, with her curious eyes shining, asked me about my friendship with Lucy. Without thinking, I said, “I only hung out with Lucy because she wanted me to, but I didn’t really want to be friends with her. She was kind of boring.” Unluckily, I didn’t know Lucy was nearby. When I looked up, she was right there, having heard everything. Her face turned pale, and her eyes got big with surprise. She didn’t say anything and ran off. Emma and I just stood there, feeling sorry and embarrassed. I knew I should go after Lucy and say sorry, but I was too shocked to move. Emma’s face turned red too. We walked home without talking, and it felt like our steps were getting heavier. The next days were hard. I felt really bad about what I said and wanted to fix things with Lucy. I needed to say sorry. But what should I say? Even though I didn’t mean to, I hurt Lucy’s feelings. Every time I saw her at school, I looked away quickly. Then, something interesting happened in our speaking class. On Tuesday, Mrs. Julia said we would do pre-class speeches. She had written our topics on small pieces of paper and put them in a box. We had to pick one without knowing what it was. I was a bit nervous. When I reached into the box, I pulled out a paper that said, “Tell your most embarrassing moment.” My heart was beating fast. It felt like I was given a chance to make things right. I spent the next few days practicing my speech, trying to find the right words to apologize to Lucy. I wanted to be sincere and show her I was sorry. When the day of the speech came, I was still nervous, but I knew it was important to face my mistake. I stood in front of the class, took a deep breath, and began to share my story, hoping it would help me and Lucy move forward. 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。 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the stage. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the stage. I looked directly at Lucy, my voice steady but sincere. “Last week, I said something terrible about my friend Lucy behind her back, and she heard every word,” I admitted. “I was thoughtless and cruel, and I hurt her deeply. Lucy, you’re kind, funny, and a true friend—I never meant to hurt you. I’m so sorry.” The class fell quiet, and I saw Lucy’s eyes glisten with tears as she nodded slightly. Paragraph 2 That day marked a turning point. After class, Lucy came up to me with a soft smile. “Thank you for apologizing publicly,” she said. “I was really hurt, but I know you didn’t mean it.” We hugged tightly, and the awkwardness between us vanished. Emma also apologized for not stopping me that day. From then on, our friendship grew stronger—we laughed more, listened better, and learned to value honesty. I realized that facing mistakes bravely, not hiding from them, is the key to keeping true friendships. 【解析】 【导语】本文以“友谊危机与自我救赎”为线索，讲述了作者在与Emma闲聊时无意间贬低好友Lucy，被Lucy当场听见后引发友谊裂痕，随后在口语课“最尴尬的时刻”主题演讲中，作者决定借机会公开道歉，希望修复关系的故事。 【详解】段落续写： ① 由第一段首句“知道自己该说什么后，我冷静下来，走向讲台。”可知，本段可聚焦演讲现场的道歉场景，展现作者的愧疚与悔改之心，以及Lucy 的回应。 ② 由第二段首句“那一天成为了一个转折点。”可知，本段可描写道歉后的连锁反应以及感悟。 续写线索：上台演讲公开道歉——Lucy含泪回应——课后主动和解——Emma道歉——友谊升温——领悟相处真谛 词汇激活 行为类： ① 承认：admit/confess ② 道歉：apologize/say sorry ③ 消失：vanish/disappear ④ 珍视：value/cherish 情绪类： ① 真诚的：sincere/genuine ② 尴尬的：awkwardness/embarrassment 【点睛】[高分句型1]I looked directly at Lucy, my voice steady but sincere.（运用独立主格结构） [高分句型2] I realized that facing mistakes bravely, not hiding from them, is the key to keeping true friendships.（运用了that引导宾语从句以及动名词作主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年高二年级12月阶段检测 英语试题 考试时间为120分钟，满分150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

It serves as a powerful reminder of humanity’s responsibility to protect our planet. Central Theme: “Invest (投资) in Our Planet” In recent years, Earth Day has focused on the theme “Invest in Our Planet.” This stresses that protecting nature is not just a choice but a necessary investment for future generations. It calls on governments, businesses, and individuals to take action against climate change and biodiversity loss. Global Activities Around the world, various activities mark Earth Day. Region Specific Cases Main Activities Tropical (热带的) countries (e. g., Brazil, Indonesia) Rainforest conservation tours Volunteers learn about endangered species and assist in restoring damaged forest areas.

These varied actions big and small, from grassroots efforts to global projects, create a strong global wave of support for nature. Local and Personal Actions On a local level, people clean up parks, rivers, and beaches to remove waste. As individuals, we can join these efforts or make small changes — like using reusable bags, saving water, or walking instead of driving. Every action, no matter how small, contributes to protecting our planet. Earth Day is more than a one-day festival; it is a call to long-term action.

Working together is the only way. B Brian is a very silly, funny student. What he loves most is to make people laugh. All his friends love his jokes, and even the teachers think he is very funny. Brian knows that comedy is what he likes best. When he hears about the school’s talent show, he decides to sign up so that he can share his comedy from the stage. He has never done real stand-up comedy before, and he is very excited. But when some of the students find out he will take part, they laugh at him. Brian thinks it does not feel very good when someone laughs at him in a mean way! Brian cannot understand why they are being so unkind to him. For a moment, he thinks about telling the talent show organizers he will not attend. But then he remembers how much his friends and teachers like his jokes. He makes up his mind to go ahead and prepare his comedy routine (表演) for the talent show. Brian decides to do a great job at the talent show to prove to the mean students that they are wrong. Everyone loves his routine, and he wins first prize! Even so, the same students tell Brian he is foolish and that he will never be a successful comedian. Brian just shakes his head and wonders what their problem is. He does not understand, but he realizes that it has nothing to do with him. He happily continues to work towards his goal. As the years go on, Brian meets more people like that. Luckily, they are the minority, and as he works hard to become a comedian, most of the people he meets encourage him and help him to become even funnier. He gets more and more opportunities to perform, and he is even invited to appear on television and act in movies. 4. Why does Brian decide to take part in the school’s talent show? A. His friends and teachers recommend it. B. He wants to bring laughter to others on stage. C. He wants to prove himself to other students. D. He wants to laugh at some students on stage. 5. How does Brian react to some students’ negative comments at the beginning? A. He feels a bit annoyed. B. He ignores the comments. C. He is determined to go on. D. He is thankful for the students. 6.

He learns to treat them calmly. 7. Which of the following can best describe Brian? A. Caring and helpful. B. Generous and grateful. C. Determined and passionate. D. Talented and humorous. C Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a child-like sense of humour. Indeed, a number of studies have found a relationship between humour and intelligence (智力)。 Researchers in Austria recently discovered that funny people, particularly those who enjoy dark humour, have higher IQs than their less funny fellows. They argue that it takes both cognitive (认知) and emotional ability to process and produce humour. In psychology we use the term “positive humour style” to refer to people who use humour to enhance relationships. This type of humour is connected with relationship satisfaction, extroversion (外向性) and high self-respect. Having a humorous outlook on life is also a good strategy. It helps people better manage stress and challenges. Not only do funny people make other people laugh, they also laugh more themselves. And laughter leads to brain changes, which may explain the link between humour and intelligence. Neuropsychological studies have found that experiencing positive emotional states, such as joy, fun and happiness, increases the production of dopamine (多巴胺) in the brain. Dopamine not only makes us feel great, but also opens up the learning centres of the brain, which enables more neural(神经)connections. As a result, we become more flexible and creative in our thinking. Evidence suggests that humour actually bolsters feelings of confidence, competence and status, making funny people very influential. Humour gets people to listen, helps communicate messages and benefits learning. It is a powerful tool that many successful leaders use to enhance group work and organizational culture. Research on the use of humour in education also supports the concept that humour is an effective aid to learning. Several studies have showed that lessons that are delivered with humour are more enjoyable for students, and also enhance students’ understanding and recall of the topic. 8. What can we learn from the researchers in Austria? A. Less funny people are tough. B. People enjoy dark humour most. C. Funny people are always emotional. D. Humorous people have a smart mind. 9. What does the author intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The example of positive states. B. The reason why our brain changes. C. The way to be creative in thinking. D. The relation between humor and intelligence. 10. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “bolsters” in paragraph 4? A. Mixes. B. Increases. C. Explains. D. Damages. 11. What can be concluded from the research in education? A. Teachers are always humorous in class. B. Students can understand humour better in class. C. Humorous classes are more effective for learning. D. Effective learning depends on students’ humour levels. D I remember it like it was yesterday. My freshman year basketball tryouts (选拔赛) had gone surprisingly well. I completed every pass and earned a spot as a solid bench player (替补球员). Then this happened — I missed an easy shot totally for no reason. The next day I got cut from the team. “Fail fast and fail often.” The startup world is filled with statements like this. In technology and entrepreneurship (企业家) circles failure has become something to chase, not avoid. And science is starting to back this up. A Nature study found that among scientists and entrepreneurs, those who ultimately succeeded had actually failed more often than their less-successful fellows. What set them apart wasn’t luck or genius; it was their ability to learn and adapt quickly after each failure. Sonja Lyubomirsky and Ed Diener, two leading voices in positive psychology, have shown that people who’ve experienced failure sometimes report higher levels of long-term well-being than those who haven’t. Their findings suggest that lasting happiness is fueled less by external wins, like medals or titles, and more by internal sources: purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth. How can we pursue purpose without being consumed by the pain of failure? My suggestion is to rethink purpose, especially “little purpose”, which is about the process, not the outcome. Say you dream of becoming a best-selling writer. That’s wonderful. But even if the book doesn’t make it onto the New York Times list, the act of writing it, of shaping your story, can still be deeply fulfilling. Perhaps my basketball setback could have been redefined (重新定义). Instead of quitting the team entirely, maybe I could have applied to be the equipment manager. I would have stayed close to the sport I loved, and found meaning without needing to be a top athlete. When success isn’t narrowly defined, failure doesn’t close the door. It opens new ones. In this way, failure truly becomes the new success. 12. Why is the author’s basketball experience mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To describe the pain of failure. B. To criticize unfair selection system. C. To introduce the topic of failure. D. To express regret about his performance. 13. What does the study in Nature suggest about successful people? A. They are more likely to fail. B. They are less adaptable to failure. C. They gain valuable lessons from failure. D. They work in the field of high-tech. 14. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The short-term joy of success. B. The source of lasting happiness. C. The most rewarding way of living. D. The balance of feeling good and failure. 15. What is the best title for this text? A. Why Failure Is the New Success B. How to Get a Sense of Achievement C. The Role of Purpose in Personal Growth D.

Emma, with her curious eyes shining, asked me about my friendship with Lucy. Without thinking, I said, “I only hung out with Lucy because she wanted me to, but I didn’t really want to be friends with her. She was kind of boring.” Unluckily, I didn’t know Lucy was nearby. When I looked up, she was right there, having heard everything. Her face turned pale, and her eyes got big with surprise. She didn’t say anything and ran off. Emma and I just stood there, feeling sorry and embarrassed. I knew I should go after Lucy and say sorry, but I was too shocked to move. Emma’s face turned red too. We walked home without talking, and it felt like our steps were getting heavier. The next days were hard. I felt really bad about what I said and wanted to fix things with Lucy. I needed to say sorry. But what should I say? Even though I didn’t mean to, I hurt Lucy’s feelings. Every time I saw her at school, I looked away quickly. Then, something interesting happened in our speaking class. On Tuesday, Mrs. Julia said we would do pre-class speeches. She had written our topics on small pieces of paper and put them in a box. We had to pick one without knowing what it was. I was a bit nervous. When I reached into the box, I pulled out a paper that said, “Tell your most embarrassing moment.” My heart was beating fast. It felt like I was given a chance to make things right. I spent the next few days practicing my speech, trying to find the right words to apologize to Lucy. I wanted to be sincere and show her I was sorry. When the day of the speech came, I was still nervous, but I knew it was important to face my mistake. I stood in front of the class, took a deep breath, and began to share my story, hoping it would help me and Lucy move forward. 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。 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the stage. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
