For some, they want to lose weight. For others, they desire to build a business that creates financial freedom. Whatever success means to you, it has probably shaped you over the years by the images you see of people in creating success for themselves. Social media has millions of daily users that are sharing information about their life and business. You see their stories of success and wins. It’s not uncommon for people to share successes without talking about the struggle on the path to accomplishing those. As a matter of fact, we can’t see the whole picture when someone shares his/her wins. In other words, we get caught in the comparison trap which can weaken the success-seekers. If you’re going to reach new growth levels and accomplish your goals, you’ll need to stop chasing a false image of success. The Internet and social media have created a culture in which individuals can instantly get a sense of satisfaction with themselves. You post an achievement, and immediate praise follows. That satisfaction is exciting and makes individuals want to experience it often. The vanity(虚荣心) causes false decision about what’s going on in someone’s life. If your image of success is this vanity-driven false one, your looking into someone else’s success journey is a surface-level glance. You can’t base what you do and the decisions you make on the little bit you see. A smart strategy is when you see success, model it and use what you see from others as motivation. But don’t let a surface-level image be your driving force towards your goals. A false image of success has held you back for far too long. Let the false images of success come and go. After all, attitude drives actions. Actions drive results. Results drive lifestyles. 4. What is the common practice of the successful people? A. They are always shaped by other people’s success. B. They often compare their success with others’. C. They don’t mention their hard work for success. D. They’d like to share their advantages over others. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A culture. B. A new growth level. C. The path to success. D. The sense of satisfaction. 6. How should we view other people’s success? A. By copying it with great ambition. B. By creating an image of our own success. C. By motivating ourselves to achieve our goals. D. By making comparisons to find out our shortcomings. 7. What does the author mainly intend to tell us? A. We can seek for success in different ways. B. We should not chase a false image of success. C. We can turn our goals into reality on our own. D. We’d better not make a decision based on social media. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了我们不应该追逐成功的虚假形象，应当在看到别人成功时，模仿它，把从别人身上看到的作为动力，不要让表面的形象成为实现目标的动力。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s not uncommon for people to share successes without talking about the struggle on the path to accomplishing those (人们分享成功却不谈论在实现成功的道路上所付出的努力，这并不罕见)”可知，成功的人不提及他们为成功所付出的努力。故选C。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据上句“That satisfaction is exciting and makes individuals want to experience (这种满足感令人兴奋，让人想要体验)”可知，人想要经常体验这种令人兴奋满足感。“it”指代本句的“that satisfaction(这种满足感)”。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“A smart strategy is when you see success, model it and use what you see from others as motivation. But don’t let a surface-level image be your driving force towards your goals. (一个聪明的策略是当你看到成功时，模仿它，把你从别人身上看到的作为动力，但不要让表面的形象成为你实现目标的动力)”可知，我们应该通过激励自己实现目标来看待别人的成功。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“If you’re going to reach new growth levels and accomplish your goals, you’ll need to stop chasing a false image of success. (如果你想达到新的增长水平，实现你的目标，你需要停止追逐成功的错误形象)”以及最后一段“A false image of success has held you back for far too long. Let the false images of success come and go. After all, attitude drives actions. Actions drive results. Results drive lifestyles.(对成功的错误想象已经拖你后腿太久了。让成功的假象来了又走吧。毕竟，态度驱动行动。行为驱动的结果。结果驱动的生活方式)”推知，作者通过这篇文章告诉我们，不应该追逐成功的虚假形象。故选B。 四、七选五 Dogs have a different way of seeing the world compared to human beings.

The world outside my window, once full of life, now seemed like a distant, unreachable place. Each day was a repetition of the last, a cycle that mirrored my own struggle to regain my strength and find hope in a future that felt dark and uncertain. One afternoon as I sat mindlessly by the window, a flash of movement caught my eye-a swallow (燕子) under the roof. It was a delicate creature, with its elegant wings. For a moment, it seemed to look at me, its eyes bright and curious, as if it recognized a fellow soul. “A swallow,” I whispered, looking at the lovely creature, whose liveliness formed a contrast with the silence of the room. The swallow’s daily visits became a comforting rhythm, as steady as the dawn’s arrival. Each time it appeared on that branch, it wasn’t just a sign of spring; it was like a friend. I found myself looking forward to its daily appearances. Its presence became a flicker (闪现) of warmth in my otherwise lifeless days. One day, the swallow was not alone; it had been joined by a mate. Together, they began the merry work of building a nest under the roof. Inspired by their joyful spirit, I decided it was time for me to take control of my own life. I began to set small, achievable goals, mirroring the swallows' tireless work on their nest. However, life can be unpredictable. Just when the nest was almost done, a storm blew in out of nowhere, tearing the nest apart. I watched from my window, my heart aching for the swallows and their broken dream. 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。 I was worried I would never see the beautiful creatures come back. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the swallows’ new nest took shape. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I was worried I would never see the beautiful creatures come back. Unexpectedly, the next morning, as the sun drove away the shadows of the night, I was greeted by the sight of the swallows. They were perched on the branch. They did not let the destruction of their nest prevent them from achieving their purpose. Instead, they started anew. They flew in and out of the courtyard once again, building under the roof. I was so touched by the sight that I had tears of joy and admiration. Finally, the swallows’ new nest took shape. The swallows’ nest stood as a reminder that even when life throws us off course, we have the power to navigate back to our intended path. The swallows had become more than just visitors to my window; they had become a source of inspiration. As the seasons changed, so did I. In time, the swallows welcomed their young, and I welcomed a new chapter in my life — a chapter of hope, strength, and the unwavering belief that even in the face of adversity, we can rise and rebuild. 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2 A life’s work（复习讲义） 必记 单词 1. craftsman /ˈkrɑːftsmən/ n. 工匠，手艺人 2. craftsmanship /ˈkrɑːftsmənʃɪp/ n. 技艺，手艺 3. heritage /ˈherɪtɪdʒ/ n. 遗产，传统 4. preserve /prɪˈzɜːv/ v. 保护，保存；n. 保护区 5. inherit /ɪnˈherɪt/ v. 继承，遗传 6. precise /prɪˈsaɪs/ adj. 精确的，准确的 7. exquisite /ɪkˈskwɪzɪt/ adj. 精美的，精致的 8. dedicated /ˈdedɪkeɪtɪd/ adj. 专注的，献身的 9. endeavour /ɪnˈdevə(r)/ v. & n. 努力，尝试 10. innovation /ˌɪnəˈveɪʃn/ n. 创新，革新 11. authentic /ɔːˈθentɪk/ adj. 真实的，正宗的 12. sustain /səˈsteɪn/ v. 维持，支撑 13. legacy /ˈleɡəsi/ n. 遗产，遗赠 14. meticulous /məˈtɪkjələs/ adj. 一丝不苟的 15. revive /rɪˈvaɪv/ v. 复兴，使复苏 16. virtue /ˈvɜːtʃuː/ n. 美德，优点 17. durable /ˈdjʊərəbl/ adj. 耐用的，持久的 18. testament /ˈtestəmənt/ n. 证明，证据 19. intricate /ˈɪntrɪkət/ adj. 复杂精细的 20. passion /ˈpæʃn/ n. 热情，酷爱 必背 短语 1. devote one’s life to 献身于，致力于 2. pass down 传承，传递 3. have a gift for 有……的天赋 4. take pride in 为……感到自豪 5. stand the test of time 经得起时间的考验 6. put one’s heart and soul into 全身心投入 7. carry on 继续，坚持 8. a feast for the eyes 视觉盛宴 9. in pursuit of 追求，寻求 10. be rooted in 根植于，源于 常用 结构 1.

For others, they desire to build a business that creates financial freedom. Whatever success means to you, it has probably shaped you over the years by the images you see of people in creating success for themselves. Social media has millions of daily users that are sharing information about their life and business. You see their stories of success and wins. It’s not uncommon for people to share successes without talking about the struggle on the path to accomplishing those. As a matter of fact, we can’t see the whole picture when someone shares his/her wins. In other words, we get caught in the comparison trap which can weaken the success-seekers. If you’re going to reach new growth levels and accomplish your goals, you’ll need to stop chasing a false image of success. The Internet and social media have created a culture in which individuals can instantly get a sense of satisfaction with themselves. You post an achievement, and immediate praise follows. That satisfaction is exciting and makes individuals want to experience it often. The vanity(虚荣心) causes false decision about what’s going on in someone’s life. If your image of success is this vanity-driven false one, your looking into someone else’s success journey is a surface-level glance. You can’t base what you do and the decisions you make on the little bit you see. A smart strategy is when you see success, model it and use what you see from others as motivation. But don’t let a surface-level image be your driving force towards your goals. A false image of success has held you back for far too long. Let the false images of success come and go. After all, attitude drives actions. Actions drive results. Results drive lifestyles. 4. What is the common practice of the successful people? A. They are always shaped by other people’s success. B. They often compare their success with others’. C. They don’t mention their hard work for success. D. They’d like to share their advantages over others. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A culture. B. A new growth level. C. The path to success. D. The sense of satisfaction. 6. How should we view other people’s success? A. By copying it with great ambition. B. By creating an image of our own success. C. By motivating ourselves to achieve our goals. D. By making comparisons to find out our shortcomings. 7. What does the author mainly intend to tell us? A. We can seek for success in different ways. B. We should not chase a false image of success. C. We can turn our goals into reality on our own. D. We’d better not make a decision based on social media. 四、七选五 Dogs have a different way of seeing the world compared to human beings.

The world outside my window, once full of life, now seemed like a distant, unreachable place. Each day was a repetition of the last, a cycle that mirrored my own struggle to regain my strength and find hope in a future that felt dark and uncertain. One afternoon as I sat mindlessly by the window, a flash of movement caught my eye-a swallow (燕子) under the roof. It was a delicate creature, with its elegant wings. For a moment, it seemed to look at me, its eyes bright and curious, as if it recognized a fellow soul. “A swallow,” I whispered, looking at the lovely creature, whose liveliness formed a contrast with the silence of the room. The swallow’s daily visits became a comforting rhythm, as steady as the dawn’s arrival. Each time it appeared on that branch, it wasn’t just a sign of spring; it was like a friend. I found myself looking forward to its daily appearances. Its presence became a flicker (闪现) of warmth in my otherwise lifeless days. One day, the swallow was not alone; it had been joined by a mate. Together, they began the merry work of building a nest under the roof. Inspired by their joyful spirit, I decided it was time for me to take control of my own life. I began to set small, achievable goals, mirroring the swallows' tireless work on their nest. However, life can be unpredictable. Just when the nest was almost done, a storm blew in out of nowhere, tearing the nest apart. I watched from my window, my heart aching for the swallows and their broken dream. 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。 I was worried I would never see the beautiful creatures come back. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the swallows’ new nest took shape. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
