My job is to create content for my followers on social media. Although I feel excited when my posts get lots of likes and comments, the never-ending need to keep up with new ideas and post regularly can be very stressful. I often feel tired because I have to work long hours on filming and editing videos. Even though I love connecting with my followers and sharing my ideas, sometimes I feel under pressure to be perfect. I’m a student. I’ve just come to a new school for a few weeks. I feel down these days. I’m very shy, so social situations are stressful for me. My mother keeps telling me to make new friends with my classmates. I know it must be interesting. But it is always so hard for me to chat with new classmates. I start to worry about my life here. I miss my old friends so much. I’m a doctor. My job is to take care of people’s health. I feel satisfied when I see my patients recover. But my life is stressful all the time. I have to get up very early in the morning and often go back home late, feeling tired. I only have time to play with my children on weekends. Because of the stress, I cannot sleep well at night. It was my dream to become a volunteer teacher. So three years ago, I left my hometown and taught English in a village in Hunan Province. It is exciting to work with kids. But it is not surprising that being a teacher in the village can be challenging. The power and water supplies are unreliable.

I want you to tell us something about yourself through the painting.” Looking at her empty paper, Marties thought, “A picture of oneself is the hardest.” But to her surprise, everyone else seemed to be working already. 1 rose in Marties’ heart. She was afraid that she could not make it at all. “Class, you may show some of your favourite things. I can’t wait to see what you are going to share.” Ms. Carter said cheerfully. She walked around, amazed at students’ works. Marties felt a knot in her stomach as Ms. Carter stopped and 2 her shoulder. All that Ms. Carter could see was her empty piece of paper. “I…I just can’t do it. It’s just too hard.” Marties felt frustrated. “It’s OK, Marties. A picture of oneself is difficult for a lot of people,” Ms. Carter said. “Tell me, Marties, what 3 so hard for you?” “I can’t think of one thing that symbolizes me. I don’t even have a favourite food!” Marties explained. “When I’m sick, my favourite food is chicken soup. At picnics, mangoes. And on my birthday, apple pie. It is impossible for me to pick one favourite.” “There’s 4 wrong with not having one favourite thing, Marties,” said Ms. Carter, “The fact that you have different ‘favourites’ is really amazing,” Ms. Carter went on. “What if you use this project to share many parts of yourself — what you’re interested in, how you feel, even what foods you like to eat at different times?” 5 by Ms. Carter’s words, Marties gathered up different colored pencils, picking a bright orange that looked like a mango. Then, she decided upon a brown one to make a bowl of warm chicken soup… Finally, she filled her paper with different sized and colored circles to be her faces.

In the UK, teenagers may apply for a provisional licence (临时驾照) when they are fifteen and nine months old, so on the morning he reached that age, Justin filled in the online form before breakfast. On his way to school, he was already imagining himself behind the wheel. Justin’s parents had mixed feelings. They were tired of driving him to football training and parties, but the thought of their sometimes careless son driving a real car made them nervous. “I’m not teaching him to drive,” Justin’s mum, Tina, said firmly to her husband, Greg. “Do you remember how he crashed his bicycle into the neighbour’s gate last month? He isn’t very sensible.” Greg did not agree. “He needs to learn to be more careful and responsible,” he replied. “If we never let him try, he’ll never grow up. Don’t worry, I’ll teach him. Everything will be fine.” Justin’s first driving lesson was on Saturday. All week, he told his friends that it would be easy. “I’ve read the Highway Code, and I’ve watched Mum and Dad drive for years,” he said confidently. “How hard can it be?” At last Saturday arrived. Justin hurried to the car, excitement rushing through him. Tina stood at the front door and watched anxiously as he started the engine, checked the mirrors and slowly moved away from the house. “Well, that’s a good start,” she thought. However, the real test came at the end of the street. Justin wanted to turn right, so he simply turned the steering wheel and drove out into the road. He did not slow down and he did not notice the car coming towards him. The other driver braked sharply and stopped just in time. Justin’s face turned pale as he realized how close he had been to causing an accident. “Out you get,” Greg said in a tight voice. “Driving is not a game, Justin. Until you learn to respect the rules and other people on the road, you are not ready to drive.” 1．Why had Justin been counting down the days before his birthday? 2．Why did Justin’s mother mention his bicycle accident? 3．What was Greg’s opinion about Justin learning to drive? 4．What shows that Justin was overconfident before his first lesson? 5．What does the title “A Near Miss” mean in this story? 6．What important lesson do you think Justin learnt from this experience? Give one reason. 【答案】1．Because he was eager to learn to drive. 2．To show Justin was careless. 3．He thought Justin needed to learn to be careful and responsible. 4．He said driving would be easy because he had read the Highway Code and watched his parents drive. 5．It means Justin nearly caused an accident while driving. 6．He learnt to respect the rules and other road users. / He learnt that driving requires serious attention and responsibility. 【导语】本文讲述了贾斯汀迫不及待地学开车，但因过于自信和粗心在第一次驾驶课上差点引发事故，从而认识到驾驶需要尊重规则和他人安全的故事。 1．根据第一段“Justin had been counting down the days until he was allowed to learn to drive.”可知，他倒计时是因为渴望学开车。故填Because he was eager to learn to drive. 2．根据第三段母亲的话“Do you remember how he crashed his bicycle into the neighbour’s gate last month? He isn’t very sensible.”可知，母亲提到自行车事故是为了说明贾斯汀平时粗心大意。故填To show Justin was careless. 3．根据第三段父亲的话“He needs to learn to be more careful and responsible... If we never let him try, he’ll never grow up.”可知，父亲认为贾斯汀需要通过学开车来学会谨慎和负责。故填He thought Justin needed to learn to be careful and responsible. 4．根据第四段贾斯汀对朋友说的话“I’ve read the Highway Code, and I’ve watched Mum and Dad drive for years... How hard can it be?”可知，他过度自信地认为开车很简单。故填He said driving would be easy because he had read the Highway Code and watched his parents drive. 5．根据第六段描述贾斯汀转弯时未减速、未注意来车，对方急刹才避免事故，以及“how close he had been to causing an accident”可知，标题“A Near Miss”意为“险些发生的事故”。故填It means Justin nearly caused an accident while driving. 6．本题为开放性问题，可从文中父亲最后的教导“Driving is not a game... Until you learn to respect the rules and other people on the road...”推导出贾斯汀学到的教训。故填He learnt to respect the rules and other road users. / He learnt that driving requires serious attention and responsibility. 组合套餐02 Passage 1 Two years ago, I went on holiday to Rome with my family. It was a four-hour train journey from our home, and we all helped to plan the trip. We were looking forward to seeing the famous sights. Everything went really well and we had a great time visiting the amazing tourist attractions. I was in charge of taking all the photos with my brand new phone, which had an excellent camera. We stayed in Rome for two weeks, and it was really amazing. On the train journey back home, I decided to open my backpack, but I couldn’t find it. All my memories of Rome were in that backpack. I was very upset because I’d packed my phone in that backpack, along with my travel diary. I knew I would never see my new phone again. Weeks passed, and then months. At first, I contacted the train company every week, but after some time, it was clear that my backpack was never going to be found. After a while, I forgot all about it. Last month, I took the train to Florence on a school trip. Unbelievably, my backpack went missing again. I searched and searched, but it was nowhere to be seen. After Rome, I always kept my phone and other important items in my pockets. Two weeks after the Florence trip, I received a phone call from the train company. They told me they had my backpack, and they would send it to the station in my city. I assumed it was my backpack from the school trip. But, this time, there were no precious memories inside. Someone from the train company had found the backpack from Rome in a dusty old cupboard. Everything inside it was safe, and I finally got to share the photos with my family.

If you don’t get a thorough understanding of yourself, you may miss many chances in life. To get a thorough understanding of yourself is to know well about yourself. You may realize your strong points and weak ones. You may hope for a wonderful future, but be sure not to 2 too much because you may not realize all of your dreams. You may be confident enough to meet challenges, but first you should know 3 to do. To get a thorough understanding of yourself needs self-appreciation (自我欣赏). Maybe you think you are a tall tree or just small grass, but you can always have your own way of being there. 4 you get full confidence in yourself, you are sure to face any trouble. To get a thorough understanding of yourself also means to 5 yourself. When you are angry, find a quiet place so that you won’t be hurt. When you are sad, tell your friends about it to change the mood (心情) into a good one. When you are tired, get a good sleep. If you don’t know when and how you should look after yourself, you won’t be able to stay away from 6 . No one can tell what will happen in the future.

I was lying on my sofa, mindlessly scrolling (滚屏) through social media, obsessed (痴迷) with someone else’s fancy life. Without even knowing it, I was comparing myself to others. In fact, I’m not alone! Comparing is something we struggle with every day. Studies show that anytime a thought comes to our minds, there’s a 1-in-10 chance that we’re comparing ourselves to others. Social comparison theory states that people would judge their own social and personal worth by comparing themselves to others around them. Comparison had been the thief of my joy for long until one day I realized that it is pointless (无意义的) to compare ourselves with others-we are comparing our weaknesses to someone’s strengths. I still remember several moments when I thought the worst of myself because I thought the best of someone else. For example, every time I saw Kayla performing well at her schoolwork, the first thing that popped into my mind was a wish that I could be as smart as her. I kept asking myself, “Why couldn’t I just be like her?” I practically praised Kayla while hating myself at the same time. I decided to change. I started to focus on improving myself instead of comparing with others. I took up reading one book every month. I started new hobbies. This helped me to discover a new self. I learned to appreciate (欣赏) what I had. Every day, I wrote down things I was happy about and chose to be around people who made me feel good. This made me value my life and see how special it is. And I changed how I used social media. Instead of aimlessly scrolling, I customized (定制) my social media feeds (信息流) to include more educational and inspirational information. I felt happier and was less likely to compare myself to others. In our lives, it’s important to ask ourselves a key question: are we tending (照料) to our own garden or are we only visitors, admiring the beautiful gardens of others while failing to care for our own? Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others since everyone is different. Discover your gifts and let them shine! 1．Was the writer obsessed with others’ fancy life on social media? 2．How do people judge their social and personal worth according to social comparison theory? 3．Why does the writer think it is pointless to compare ourselves to others? 4．How many changes has the writer made? 5．What are the examples of focusing on improving yourself? 6．What do you think of the ways the writer took to avoid pointless comparison? Why? (Please give two reasons) 【答案】1．Yes. 2．By comparing themselves to others around them. 3．Because we often compare our weaknesses to someone else’s strengths. 4．The writer has made three changes. 5．The writer took up reading one book every month and started new hobbies to discover a new self. 6．‌I think the writer’s view is quite correct. Because comparing yourself to others makes you feel bad. Besides, it can mask your own talent. 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者通过自身经历，意识到与他人比较会带来无意义的痛苦，并分享了如何通过专注于自我提升、感恩和调整社交媒体使用习惯来克服这种心理，最终实现个人成长的过程。 1．根据“I was lying on my sofa, mindlessly scrolling (滚屏) through social media, obsessed (痴迷) with someone else’s fancy life.”可知，作者躺在沙发上，无意识地浏览社交媒体，痴迷于别人的美好生活。故填Yes. 2．根据“Social comparison theory states that people would judge their own social and personal worth by comparing themselves to others around them.”可知，社会比较理论认为，人们会通过与周围的人进行比较来判断自己的社会和个人价值。故填By comparing themselves to others around them. 3．根据“it is pointless (无意义的) to compare ourselves with others-we are comparing our weaknesses to someone’s strengths.”可知，自己和别人比较是没有意义的因为我们是在把自己的弱点和别人的长处进行比较。故填Because we often compare our weaknesses to someone else’s strengths. 4．根据“I started to focus on improving myself instead of comparing with others.”“I learned to appreciate (欣赏) what I had.”及“And I changed how I used social media.”可知，作者做出了三点改变。故填The writer has made three changes. 5．根据“I started to focus on improving myself instead of comparing with others. I took up reading one book every month. I started new hobbies. This helped me to discover a new self.”可知，我开始专注于提高自己，而不是与他人比较，我开始每月读一本书，我开始了新的爱好，这帮助我发现了新的自我。故填The writer took up reading one book every month and started new hobbies to discover a new self. 6．开放性试题，答案不唯一，合理即可。参考答案为‌I think the writer’s view is quite correct. Because comparing yourself to others makes you feel bad. Besides, it can mask your own talent. 组合套餐03 Passage 1 It happens to all of us. It is the end of the semester and your teacher gives you your report card. You look at it and your heart stops because you realize that your parents are going to be very angry. This is the classic case of a bad report card! There is nothing you can do to change the past. So, what do you do now? A disappointing report card is something that almost all students will experience at least once in their lives. Grades are how most schools evaluate students and they are pretty important. The problem is that we do not always get good grades we (or our parents) want. After a bad report card, it is important to figure out what to do next. The first thing to do is to talk to your teacher. Find out how your grades were calculated. Was the problem a bad test, lack of participation in class, or a failure to complete homework? Next, if the problem is something you can solve on your own (such as not doing your homework), make a promise to change your behaviour! However, if you have been studying hard and still got a bad grade, you probably need some extra help with your classes. Talk to your teacher and explain your situation. He or she will tell you where you can receive the extra help you need. Then, make a detailed plan of how you will improve your grades. Write down the plan and have it ready when you talk to your parents. That’s a good way to make your parents less angry. While all parents want their children to get good grades, most understand that not every report card will be perfect. The important thing is that you show your parents you have a plan to improve your grades for next time. Always remember, many of the world’s most successful people failed many times before they became successful. They learned from their failures, and you should too! 1．What is the problem with the grades? A．Most schools evaluate students by using grades. B．We don’t always get good grades we want. C．Grades are sometimes incorrect. D．It’s important to get good grades. 2．Which of the following is not a cause of a bad report card? A．There was something wrong with the test itself. B．You didn’t take part in enough group work in class. C．You studied hard enough for the test. D．You failed to finish your homework. 3．________ is a good way to make your parents less angry. A．Telling your parents the test was too difficult for you B．Understanding all parents want their children to get good grades C．Explaining why you couldn’t complete your homework on time D．Showing your parents you have a detailed plan to improve your grades 4．The underlined words “your situation” in the text probably means “________”. A．You have been studying hard, but you still got bad grades. B．You have made a promise to change some bad behaviour. C．You had no idea about how your grades were calculated.

Was the problem a bad test, lack of participation in class, or a failure to complete homework?…However, if you have been studying hard and still got a bad grade, you probably need some extra help with your classes.”可知，原文提到原因包括：考试不好、课堂参与不足、未完成作业；而选项C“你学习足够努力”与原文“即使努力学习仍得低分”矛盾。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Write down the plan and have it ready when you talk to your parents. That’s a good way to make your parents less angry.”可知，写下这个计划，并在你向父母提起时准备好，这是让父母不那么生气的一个好方法。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据前文“However, if you have been studying hard and still got a bad grade, you probably need some extra help with your classes.”和“Talk to your teacher and explain your situation.”可知，此处指“努力学习但仍得低分”的情况。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Always remember, many of the world’s most successful people failed many times before they became successful. They learned from their failures, and you should too!”可知，永远记住，世界上许多最成功的人在成功之前都经历了多次失败。他们从失败中吸取了教训，你也应该如此！可推知，作者举成功人士的例子是为了说明失败是常见的，关键是从中学习。故选D。 6．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕如何处理不理想的成绩单展开，提供了具体建议。D选项“分享处理不良成绩单的方法”最贴合文章主旨。故选D。 Passage 2 Stagehand Superstar Every kid wanted to play the Big Bad Wolf, but not Stella. Sure, the Wolf got to yell, “I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in!” But Stella knew who really brought the house down—the stagehand! Stella was wearing all black. She quickly, but quietly, put the houses and trees onto the dark stage. She stayed behind the cardboard tree between the straw house and the stick house. The stage lights 1 . “Little pig, little pig, let me come in!” Brad, the wolf, shouted. He pretended to knock on the straw house. 2 the house was really just painted cloth, Stella knocked loudly on the floor. After Brad’s biggest puff, Stella made the cardboard tree fall down, followed by the straw house. Audience cheered. The wolf—but really Stella—easily made the stick house fall down, too. But no amount of huffing and puffing would make that brick house 3 . “I’ll sneak down the chimney and get those piggies!” Brad growled in a stage whisper loud enough for the whole audience to hear. Brad climbed up a ladder behind the set. From the front, it looked like he was on the chimney. Paige, the pig, cried out, “Let’s build a fire to scare away that mean old wolf!” Real fire would be way too dangerous. That’s 4 they needed Stella. Paige knelt beside the fireplace. Stella turned on a red light and a fan. Glowing tissue paper strips rose up from the cardboard logs. Someone in the audience gasped (倒吸气). The fake fire looked very real indeed. “My tail!” Brad howled. He climbed down the ladder and ran away. The pigs high-fived. The victorious music played. The actors lined up and bowed. The crowd burst into applause and jumped to their feet. Stella stayed 5 , but she knew the applause was for her, too. Stella had played her part so perfectly that the audience 6 knew she was there. They just enjoyed the magic of the theater. But Stella, the stagehand, was the one making that magic. 1．A．turned on B．turned off C．turned down D．turned up 2．A．If B．Since C．Though D．Unless 3．A．change B．disappear C．move D．suffer 4．A．why B．when C．where D．how 5．A．connected B．focused C．hidden D．relaxed 6．A．always B．never C．often D．sometimes 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．A 5．C 6．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了舞台工作人员Stella在演出中默默配合、创造戏剧效果的经历，展现了幕后工作者虽不被观众注意，却是戏剧“魔力”的真正创造者，赞美了默默付出、坚守岗位的价值。 1．句意：舞台灯光被打开了。 turned on打开；turned off关闭；turned down调小；turned up调大。根据“She quickly, but quietly, put the houses and trees onto the dark stage. She stayed behind the cardboard tree between the straw house and the stick house.”可知，她快速但安静地把房屋和树木道具放到昏暗的舞台上。她待在草房和木屋之间那棵硬纸板树的后面，因此此处指布置好舞台后，打开灯光。故选A。 2．句意：虽然那座房子其实只是一块画了图案的布，但Stella在地板上用力敲了起来。 If如果；Since自从；Though尽管；Unless除非。根据“He pretended to knock on the straw house...the house was really just painted cloth, Stella knocked loudly on the floor.”可知，前半句房子其实只是画了画的布与后半句Stella在地板上大声敲是让步关系，Though表示让步关系。故选C。 3．句意：但无论怎么吹气，都无法让那座砖头房移动。 change改变；disappear消失；move移动；suffer受苦。根据“But no amount of huffing and puffing would make that brick house...”可知，狼无法让房子移动。故选C。 4．句意：这就是他们需要Stella的原因。 why为什么；when什么时候；where在哪里；how怎样。根据“Real fire would be way too dangerous. That’s...they needed Stella.”可知，真火很危险，这就是他们需要她的原因，此处为表语从句，缺少原因状语。故选A。 5．句意：Stella一直躲在幕后，但她知道掌声也属于自己。 connected联系；focused集中；hidden隐藏；relaxed放松。根据“Stella stayed...”结合前文可知，Stella是幕后工作人员，因此是隐藏在幕后。故选C。 6．句意：Stella的工作完成得如此完美，以至于观众从未察觉她的存在。 always总是；never从不；often经常；sometimes有时候。根据“Stella had played her part so perfectly that the audience...knew she was there.”可知，Stella的工作完成得如此完美，以至于观众从未察觉她的存在。故选B。 Passage 3 Life is full of the unknown. Some people may bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have realized. My mom was one of those people. My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of twenty. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.” At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again as long as I insisted on (坚持) practicing walking. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school—walking on my own! When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again. Over the years, I had various levels of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we met a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn. In 1979, my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year. You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. 1．Kemmons and his mother didn’t live a happy life at his young age, did they? . 2．What happened when Kemmons’s mother was twenty? . 3．How did Kemmons’s mother speak to her son after he was hit by a car? . 4．When did the real turning point occur that led Kemmons to start a motel by himself? . 5．What’s the meaning of the underlined part? It means his mother’s words . 6．What do you think makes Kemmons successful? (at least 2 points and share the reasons) . 【答案】1．No, they didn’t 2．Kemmons’s father died, making her a single mother 3．She spoke to him in her gentle, loving voice 4．On a vacation he took with his wife and five kids in 1951 5．had a profound influence on him 6．First, his mother’s encouragement. Her words gave him confidence and strength to overcome difficulties. Second, his own determination. He was determined not to be poor again and worked hard to achieve his goal. 【导语】本文讲述凯蒙斯幼时丧父、家境贫寒，母亲的鼓励伴他战胜伤病与困境，他后来创办假日酒店，成为全球最大酒店系统的开创者，印证信念与努力的力量。 1．根据“While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life.”可知，凯蒙斯和母亲小时候生活很艰难，故填No, they didn’t。 2．根据“My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of twenty.”可知，凯蒙斯九个月大时父亲去世，母亲在二十岁时成了单身母亲，故填Kemmons’s father died, making her a single mother。 3．根据“Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice”可知，凯蒙斯被车撞后，母亲用温柔、充满爱意的声音和他说话，故填She spoke to him in her gentle, loving voice。 4．根据“But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951.”可知，真正的转折点发生在 1951 年他和妻子、五个孩子的一次度假中，故填On a vacation he took with his wife and five kids in 1951。 5．根据“She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her.”和“deeply rooted in my soul”可知，此处指母亲的话深深扎根在他的灵魂里，对他影响深远，故填had a profound influence on him。 6．根据“Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life” “But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed.”和“I was determined never to be poor again.” 可知，凯蒙斯成功的原因包括母亲的鼓励和自身的决心，母亲的鼓励让他充满信心，自身的决心让他不断努力，故填First, his mother’s encouragement. Her words gave him confidence and strength to overcome difficulties. Second, his own determination. He was determined not to be poor again and worked hard to achieve his goal。 11 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 热点05 读写组合练热点话题之成长经历 （阅读单选+完形填空+阅读简答题） 文章导读 主要内容 一、成长中的挑战与应对： 1. 生活与职业压力（网红博主的创作压力、医生的工作负荷、乡村支教老师的环境困境、新生社交适应难题）； 2. 挫折与失误处理（不理想成绩单的应对、驾驶课险些引发事故的教训、旅行中丢失物品的经历）；3. 自我认知与心态调整（摆脱与他人的盲目比较、全面认识自我的重要性、接纳自身多元特质）； 二、成长中的支持与助力： 1. 他人鼓励与引导（母亲的激励伴主人公战胜伤病与创业困境、老师鼓励学生展现多元自我）； 2. 榜样与自我驱动（舞台幕后工作者的默默坚守、天才少年的自我提升、改变心态专注自我成长）； 3. 团队与人际协作（班级项目合作、俱乐部活动中的互助）； 三、成长中的收获与蜕变： 1. 能力提升（驾驶技能学习、阅读与兴趣爱好培养、创业能力积累）； 2. 心态成熟（从自卑焦虑到自信接纳、从粗心冲动到谨慎负责、从盲目攀比到自我欣赏）； 3. 价值实现（职业成就感、帮助他人的满足感、个人目标达成如创业成功、项目获奖） 题型解题要领 一、阅读单选题： 1. 细节题：定位题干关键信息（如人物、事件、时间、原因），回归原文精准查找对应内容（如压力来源、挫折原因、他人支持方式）； 2. 词义猜测题：结合上下文语境（职业描述、行为动作、逻辑关系）推断词义（如 “influencer”通过场景描述推断含义）； 3. 主旨题：聚焦全文核心话题（如成长中的挫折、他人鼓励的力量、自我认知与蜕变），排除局部细节选项； 4. 推理判断题：基于原文信息（如人物行为、事件结果、他人话语）合理推断（如从主人公的成功推断母亲鼓励的作用）； 二、完形填空： 1. 联系上下文：根据前后句逻辑（因果、转折、并列）选择符合语境的词；（如成长类文章优先 “encourage”“overcome”“improve”“realize” 等词汇） 2. 关注固定搭配：注意动词、名词、形容词与介词的搭配；（如 “take care of”“focus on”“be rooted in”）；3. 结合话题背景：围绕 “成长经历” 核心，选择贴合挫折、鼓励、蜕变、自我认知场景的词汇； 三、阅读简答题： 1. 找原文依据：直接提取或整合原文关键信息（如数字、事实）； 2. 简洁作答：避免冗余，符合题干要求（一般用短语或短句）； 3. 语法正确：注意时态、人称一致，疑问句需按要求回应（如肯定 / 否定回答） 组合套餐01 Passage 1 I’m an influencer. My job is to create content for my followers on social media. Although I feel excited when my posts get lots of likes and comments, the never-ending need to keep up with new ideas and post regularly can be very stressful.

Even though I love connecting with my followers and sharing my ideas, sometimes I feel under pressure to be perfect. I’m a student. I’ve just come to a new school for a few weeks.

Passage 2 “The project today is called ‘Tell Us about Yourself’,” Ms. Carter announced to her class. “You are all going to draw a picture of yourself. I want you to tell us something about yourself through the painting.” Looking at her empty paper, Marties thought, “A picture of oneself is the hardest.” But to her surprise, everyone else seemed to be working already. 1 rose in Marties’ heart. She was afraid that she could not make it at all. “Class, you may show some of your favourite things. I can’t wait to see what you are going to share.” Ms. Carter said cheerfully. She walked around, amazed at students’ works. Marties felt a knot in her stomach as Ms. Carter stopped and 2 her shoulder. All that Ms. Carter could see was her empty piece of paper. “I…I just can’t do it. It’s just too hard.” Marties felt frustrated. “It’s OK, Marties. A picture of oneself is difficult for a lot of people,” Ms. Carter said. “Tell me, Marties, what 3 so hard for you?” “I can’t think of one thing that symbolizes me. I don’t even have a favourite food!” Marties explained. “When I’m sick, my favourite food is chicken soup. At picnics, mangoes. And on my birthday, apple pie. It is impossible for me to pick one favourite.” “There’s 4 wrong with not having one favourite thing, Marties,” said Ms. Carter, “The fact that you have different ‘favourites’ is really amazing,” Ms. Carter went on. “What if you use this project to share many parts of yourself — what you’re interested in, how you feel, even what foods you like to eat at different times?” 5 by Ms. Carter’s words, Marties gathered up different colored pencils, picking a bright orange that looked like a mango. Then, she decided upon a brown one to make a bowl of warm chicken soup… Finally, she filled her paper with different sized and colored circles to be her faces. Marties wouldn’t draw just one picture of herself — she would draw several. And each one would show what she was 6 at different times. 1．A．Trust B．Regret C．Worry D．Energy 2．A．looked at B．looked over C．looked up D．looked after 3．A．seems B．remains C．happens D．stays 4．A．anything B．everything C．something D．nothing 5．A．Pleased B．Surprised C．Encouraged D．Excited 6．A．about B．like C．with D．against Passage 3 A near miss Justin had been counting down the days until he was allowed to learn to drive. In the UK, teenagers may apply for a provisional licence (临时驾照) when they are fifteen and nine months old, so on the morning he reached that age, Justin filled in the online form before breakfast. On his way to school, he was already imagining himself behind the wheel. Justin’s parents had mixed feelings. They were tired of driving him to football training and parties, but the thought of their sometimes careless son driving a real car made them nervous. “I’m not teaching him to drive,” Justin’s mum, Tina, said firmly to her husband, Greg. “Do you remember how he crashed his bicycle into the neighbour’s gate last month? He isn’t very sensible.” Greg did not agree. “He needs to learn to be more careful and responsible,” he replied. “If we never let him try, he’ll never grow up. Don’t worry, I’ll teach him. Everything will be fine.” Justin’s first driving lesson was on Saturday. All week, he told his friends that it would be easy. “I’ve read the Highway Code, and I’ve watched Mum and Dad drive for years,” he said confidently. “How hard can it be?” At last Saturday arrived. Justin hurried to the car, excitement rushing through him. Tina stood at the front door and watched anxiously as he started the engine, checked the mirrors and slowly moved away from the house. “Well, that’s a good start,” she thought. However, the real test came at the end of the street. Justin wanted to turn right, so he simply turned the steering wheel and drove out into the road. He did not slow down and he did not notice the car coming towards him. The other driver braked sharply and stopped just in time. Justin’s face turned pale as he realized how close he had been to causing an accident. “Out you get,” Greg said in a tight voice. “Driving is not a game, Justin. Until you learn to respect the rules and other people on the road, you are not ready to drive.” 1．Why had Justin been counting down the days before his birthday? 2．Why did Justin’s mother mention his bicycle accident? 3．What was Greg’s opinion about Justin learning to drive? 4．What shows that Justin was overconfident before his first lesson? 5．What does the title “A Near Miss” mean in this story? 6．What important lesson do you think Justin learnt from this experience? Give one reason. 组合套餐02 Passage 1 Two years ago, I went on holiday to Rome with my family. It was a four-hour train journey from our home, and we all helped to plan the trip. We were looking forward to seeing the famous sights. Everything went really well and we had a great time visiting the amazing tourist attractions. I was in charge of taking all the photos with my brand new phone, which had an excellent camera. We stayed in Rome for two weeks, and it was really amazing. On the train journey back home, I decided to open my backpack, but I couldn’t find it. All my memories of Rome were in that backpack. I was very upset because I’d packed my phone in that backpack, along with my travel diary. I knew I would never see my new phone again. Weeks passed, and then months. At first, I contacted the train company every week, but after some time, it was clear that my backpack was never going to be found. After a while, I forgot all about it. Last month, I took the train to Florence on a school trip. Unbelievably, my backpack went missing again. I searched and searched, but it was nowhere to be seen. After Rome, I always kept my phone and other important items in my pockets. Two weeks after the Florence trip, I received a phone call from the train company. They told me they had my backpack, and they would send it to the station in my city. I assumed it was my backpack from the school trip. But, this time, there were no precious memories inside. Someone from the train company had found the backpack from Rome in a dusty old cupboard. Everything inside it was safe, and I finally got to share the photos with my family. It was so wonderful to see them. I decided we should all go back to Rome for another holiday…but this time, I would be much more careful with my things. 1．When did Tom first lose his backpack?

But one has the least understanding of oneself. When you are successful, you may be very proud. When you 1 , you may lose heart. If you don’t get a thorough understanding of yourself, you may miss many chances in life. To get a thorough understanding of yourself is to know well about yourself. You may realize your strong points and weak ones. You may hope for a wonderful future, but be sure not to 2 too much because you may not realize all of your dreams. You may be confident enough to meet challenges, but first you should know 3 to do. To get a thorough understanding of yourself needs self-appreciation (自我欣赏). Maybe you think you are a tall tree or just small grass, but you can always have your own way of being there. 4 you get full confidence in yourself, you are sure to face any trouble. To get a thorough understanding of yourself also means to 5 yourself. When you are angry, find a quiet place so that you won’t be hurt. When you are sad, tell your friends about it to change the mood (心情) into a good one. When you are tired, get a good sleep. If you don’t know when and how you should look after yourself, you won’t be able to stay away from 6 . No one can tell what will happen in the future. Get a thorough understanding of yourself, and you will get a full control of yourself and find your life full of color. 1．A．win B．fail C．know D．beat 2．A．worry B．control C．respect D．expect 3．A．where B．how C．what D．why 4．A．Before B．When C．Until D．Although 5．A．take care of B．be kind to C．be pleased with D．depend on 6．A．experience B．security C．illness D．responsibility Passage 3 根据短文内容回答下列问题。 The day had been good, but school was tiring. I was lying on my sofa, mindlessly scrolling (滚屏) through social media, obsessed (痴迷) with someone else’s fancy life. Without even knowing it, I was comparing myself to others. In fact, I’m not alone! Comparing is something we struggle with every day. Studies show that anytime a thought comes to our minds, there’s a 1-in-10 chance that we’re comparing ourselves to others. Social comparison theory states that people would judge their own social and personal worth by comparing themselves to others around them. Comparison had been the thief of my joy for long until one day I realized that it is pointless (无意义的) to compare ourselves with others-we are comparing our weaknesses to someone’s strengths. I still remember several moments when I thought the worst of myself because I thought the best of someone else. For example, every time I saw Kayla performing well at her schoolwork, the first thing that popped into my mind was a wish that I could be as smart as her. I kept asking myself, “Why couldn’t I just be like her?” I practically praised Kayla while hating myself at the same time. I decided to change. I started to focus on improving myself instead of comparing with others. I took up reading one book every month. I started new hobbies. This helped me to discover a new self. I learned to appreciate (欣赏) what I had. Every day, I wrote down things I was happy about and chose to be around people who made me feel good. This made me value my life and see how special it is. And I changed how I used social media. Instead of aimlessly scrolling, I customized (定制) my social media feeds (信息流) to include more educational and inspirational information. I felt happier and was less likely to compare myself to others. In our lives, it’s important to ask ourselves a key question: are we tending (照料) to our own garden or are we only visitors, admiring the beautiful gardens of others while failing to care for our own? Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others since everyone is different. Discover your gifts and let them shine! 1．Was the writer obsessed with others’ fancy life on social media? 2．How do people judge their social and personal worth according to social comparison theory? 3．Why does the writer think it is pointless to compare ourselves to others? 4．How many changes has the writer made? 5．What are the examples of focusing on improving yourself? 6．What do you think of the ways the writer took to avoid pointless comparison? Why? (Please give two reasons) 组合套餐03 Passage 1 It happens to all of us. It is the end of the semester and your teacher gives you your report card. You look at it and your heart stops because you realize that your parents are going to be very angry. This is the classic case of a bad report card! There is nothing you can do to change the past. So, what do you do now? A disappointing report card is something that almost all students will experience at least once in their lives. Grades are how most schools evaluate students and they are pretty important. The problem is that we do not always get good grades we (or our parents) want. After a bad report card, it is important to figure out what to do next. The first thing to do is to talk to your teacher. Find out how your grades were calculated. Was the problem a bad test, lack of participation in class, or a failure to complete homework? Next, if the problem is something you can solve on your own (such as not doing your homework), make a promise to change your behaviour! However, if you have been studying hard and still got a bad grade, you probably need some extra help with your classes. Talk to your teacher and explain your situation. He or she will tell you where you can receive the extra help you need. Then, make a detailed plan of how you will improve your grades. Write down the plan and have it ready when you talk to your parents. That’s a good way to make your parents less angry. While all parents want their children to get good grades, most understand that not every report card will be perfect. The important thing is that you show your parents you have a plan to improve your grades for next time. Always remember, many of the world’s most successful people failed many times before they became successful. They learned from their failures, and you should too! 1．What is the problem with the grades? A．Most schools evaluate students by using grades. B．We don’t always get good grades we want. C．Grades are sometimes incorrect. D．It’s important to get good grades. 2．Which of the following is not a cause of a bad report card? A．There was something wrong with the test itself. B．You didn’t take part in enough group work in class. C．You studied hard enough for the test. D．You failed to finish your homework. 3．________ is a good way to make your parents less angry. A．Telling your parents the test was too difficult for you B．Understanding all parents want their children to get good grades C．Explaining why you couldn’t complete your homework on time D．Showing your parents you have a detailed plan to improve your grades 4．The underlined words “your situation” in the text probably means “________”. A．You have been studying hard, but you still got bad grades. B．You have made a promise to change some bad behaviour. C．You had no idea about how your grades were calculated.

Sure, the Wolf got to yell, “I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house in!” But Stella knew who really brought the house down—the stagehand! Stella was wearing all black. She quickly, but quietly, put the houses and trees onto the dark stage. She stayed behind the cardboard tree between the straw house and the stick house. The stage lights 1 . “Little pig, little pig, let me come in!” Brad, the wolf, shouted. He pretended to knock on the straw house. 2 the house was really just painted cloth, Stella knocked loudly on the floor. After Brad’s biggest puff, Stella made the cardboard tree fall down, followed by the straw house. Audience cheered. The wolf—but really Stella—easily made the stick house fall down, too. But no amount of huffing and puffing would make that brick house 3 . “I’ll sneak down the chimney and get those piggies!” Brad growled in a stage whisper loud enough for the whole audience to hear. Brad climbed up a ladder behind the set. From the front, it looked like he was on the chimney. Paige, the pig, cried out, “Let’s build a fire to scare away that mean old wolf!” Real fire would be way too dangerous. That’s 4 they needed Stella. Paige knelt beside the fireplace. Stella turned on a red light and a fan. Glowing tissue paper strips rose up from the cardboard logs. Someone in the audience gasped (倒吸气). The fake fire looked very real indeed. “My tail!” Brad howled. He climbed down the ladder and ran away. The pigs high-fived. The victorious music played. The actors lined up and bowed. The crowd burst into applause and jumped to their feet. Stella stayed 5 , but she knew the applause was for her, too. Stella had played her part so perfectly that the audience 6 knew she was there.

Some people may bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have realized. My mom was one of those people. My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of twenty. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are sure to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.” At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again as long as I insisted on (坚持) practicing walking. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school—walking on my own! When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again. Over the years, I had various levels of business success. But the real turning point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we met a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world—Holiday Inn. In 1979, my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year. You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you. 1．Kemmons and his mother didn’t live a happy life at his young age, did they? . 2．What happened when Kemmons’s mother was twenty? . 3．How did Kemmons’s mother speak to her son after he was hit by a car? . 4．When did the real turning point occur that led Kemmons to start a motel by himself? . 5．What’s the meaning of the underlined part?
