B At 24, Zhang Meng has become a professional simultaneous interpreter at an international conference company, a dream she has had since she was a child. What makes her story extraordinary is that she was born with cerebral palsy, which affects her movement and speech. Zhang's childhood was filled with challenges. Because of her illness, she couldn't walk until she was 6 years old, and her speech was unclear when she was a kid. Other children often laughed at her, and she used to lock herself in her room, feeling depressed and hopeless. It was her mother who encouraged her to learn English, saying that language could open a new door for her. At the age of 8, Zhang started to learn English. Because of her speech problem, she had to practice a single word hundreds of times until she could pronounce it correctly. She listened to English tapes every day, imitated the pronunciation of native speakers, and read English articles aloud for hours. "Learning English was the hardest thing I had ever done, but it was also the thing that gave me hope," Zhang recalled. In 2020, Zhang was admitted to a top foreign language university in Beijing, majoring in translation. During her university years, she studied even harder than her classmates. She got up at 5 a.m. every day to practice interpreting, and often stayed in the library until midnight. Her hard work paid off: she won the first prize in the National College Student Interpretation Competition in 2023, and passed the most difficult simultaneous interpretation certification exam in 2024. Now, Zhang has interpreted for more than 30 international conferences, including the World Economic Forum. "Many people say that I am an inspiration, but I just want to prove that disabled people can also achieve their dreams as long as they work hard," Zhang said. "My illness limits my body, but it can't limit my mind and my pursuit of dreams. I hope my story can encourage more people with disabilities to bravely chase their dreams." 4. What challenge did Zhang Meng face in her childhood? A. She had difficulty in movement and speech due to cerebral palsy. B. She couldn't go to school because of her illness. C. Her parents didn't support her in learning English. D. She had no talent for language learning. 5. What made Zhang Meng start to learn English? A. Her dream of becoming an international star. B. Her mother's encouragement and the hope it brought her. C. The laughter of other children. D. Her desire to travel abroad. 6. What can we learn from paragraph 4 about Zhang Meng? A. She found university life easy and relaxing. B. She won the national interpretation competition before entering university. C. Her hard work helped her achieve great success in translation. D. She gave up practicing interpreting because of the difficulty. 7. What can we learn from Zhang Meng's story? A. Disabled people can't achieve their dreams. B. Illness can limit both your body and your mind. C. Hard work and perseverance can help overcome difficulties. D. Learning English is the only way to change your life. C For teenagers, staying up late to study, play video games, or scroll through social media has become a common habit. However, a growing body of research is showing that insufficient sleep is seriously damaging teenagers' academic performance, physical health, and mental well-being. According to a 2025 report from the Chinese Sleep Research Society, more than 80% of Chinese teenagers aged 13-18 get less than the recommended 8-10 hours of sleep per night, with nearly 30% getting less than 6 hours. The main reasons for this sleep deprivation include heavy academic pressure, excessive use of electronic devices, and irregular sleep schedules. Sleep plays a vital role in learning and memory formation. When we sleep, our brains replay and consolidate the information we learned during the day, turning short-term memory into long-term memory. This process, known as memory consolidation, is essential for students to retain what they have learned in class. A 2024 study from Harvard University found that students who got a full 8 hours of sleep after studying scored 30% higher on memory tests than those who stayed up all night. In addition to memory consolidation, sleep also affects teenagers' cognitive abilities, including attention, concentration, and problem-solving skills. Sleep-deprived teenagers often have difficulty focusing in class, are more likely to make careless mistakes, and have slower reaction times. A 2025 study from Peking University found that teenagers who slept less than 7 hours per night scored 15% lower on math and Chinese exams than those who slept 8-10 hours. Insufficient sleep also has a serious impact on teenagers' mental health. Studies have shown that sleep deprivation is closely linked to an increased risk of anxiety, depression, and mood swings in teenagers. This is because sleep helps regulate the production of serotonin and dopamine, the neurotransmitters responsible for mood regulation. Teenagers who don't get enough sleep are 3 times more likely to develop symptoms of depression than those who get enough sleep. "Many parents and students think that staying up late to study can improve academic performance, but the truth is exactly the opposite," said Dr. Li Wei, a sleep expert at Peking University Sixth Hospital. "Sleep is not a waste of time; it's an essential part of learning. For teenagers, getting enough sleep is just as important as studying hard, if not more so." Dr. Li recommends that teenagers establish a regular sleep schedule, avoid using electronic devices 1 hour before bed, keep their bedroom dark and quiet, and avoid caffeine in the afternoon and evening. 8. What is the main finding of the 2025 report from the Chinese Sleep Research Society? A. Most Chinese teenagers get enough sleep every night. B. The majority of Chinese teenagers don't get the recommended sleep time. C. Heavy academic pressure has no effect on teenagers' sleep. D. Electronic devices are the only reason for teenagers' sleep deprivation. 9. Why is sleep important for learning and memory according to the text? A. It helps the brain consolidate information into long-term memory. B. It allows students to study longer during the day. C. It improves students' reading speed and writing ability. D. It helps students relax after a long day of studying. 10. What does the underlined word "deprivation" in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Sufficiency B. Lack C. Quality D. Schedule 11. What can we learn from the studies mentioned in the text? A. Staying up late to study can significantly improve exam scores. B. Sleep has no effect on teenagers' cognitive abilities and academic performance. C. Insufficient sleep increases the risk of mental health problems in teenagers. D. Teenagers who sleep less than 6 hours are more likely to get good grades. D In today's success-obsessed culture, failure is often seen as something to be ashamed of, something to avoid at all costs. For teenagers, especially, the pressure to get perfect grades, win competitions, and get into top universities has made them terrified of failure. However, psychologists and educators are increasingly arguing that failure is not only unavoidable, but also essential for healthy growth and long-term success. Many people believe that success comes from avoiding mistakes, but the truth is that some of the most successful people in history failed many times before achieving their goals. J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, was rejected by 12 publishers before her first book was accepted. Thomas Edison failed more than 1,000 times before inventing the practical light bulb. These successful people didn't see failure as a sign of weakness; they saw it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Psychologists have found that the way people respond to failure is determined by their mindset. People with a fixed mindset believe that their abilities are innate and unchangeable, so they see failure as proof that they are not good enough. They avoid challenges, give up easily when they fail, and are afraid to take risks. On the other hand, people with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can be developed through hard work and practice. They see failure as a chance to learn, improve, and become better. They embrace challenges, persist in the face of setbacks, and see effort as the path to mastery. For teenagers, learning to accept and learn from failure is especially important. In a rapidly changing world, the ability to adapt to setbacks and learn from mistakes is more valuable than perfect grades. A 2025 study from Stanford University found that teenagers who were taught to embrace failure had higher academic performance, better mental health, and more resilience than those who were only praised for their success. Critics often argue that failure can damage teenagers' self-esteem and make them give up. But this is only true if failure is seen as a final judgment on their abilities. When teenagers are taught that failure is a normal part of learning, and that they can improve through effort, failure becomes a powerful tool for growth. "Success is not the absence of failure; it's the ability to learn from failure," said Carol Dweck, the leading psychologist who developed the growth mindset theory. "The greatest gift we can give young people is not to protect them from failure, but to teach them how to bounce back from it, learn from it, and use it to achieve their goals." 12. What is the main argument of the text? A. Failure should be avoided at all costs for teenagers. B. Perfect grades are the most important thing for teenagers' success. C. Failure is essential for teenagers' growth and long-term success. D. People with a fixed mindset are more likely to succeed. 13. Why does the author mention J.K. Rowling and Thomas Edison?. A. To prove that successful people never fail. B. To show that failure is an opportunity to learn and grow. C. To explain why some people are more successful than others. D. To argue that success is just a matter of luck. 14. What is the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset? A. People with a growth mindset believe abilities are innate, while those with a fixed mindset believe abilities can be developed. B. People with a fixed mindset see failure as a learning opportunity, while those with a growth mindset see it as a sign of weakness. C. People with a growth mindset embrace challenges, while those with a fixed mindset avoid them. D. People with a fixed mindset have higher resilience than those with a growth mindset. 15. What can we learn from the text about failure? A. Failure always damages teenagers' self-esteem and makes them give up. B. Teenagers who are protected from failure are more likely to succeed. C. The way people respond to failure determines its impact on their growth. D. Failure has no effect on teenagers' academic performance and mental health. 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。 Exam anxiety is a common problem for students of all ages.

Here are some effective ways to manage exam anxiety. Prepare well in advance. One of the main causes of exam anxiety is lack of preparation.

Many people believe that success comes from avoiding mistakes, but the truth is that some of the most successful people in history failed many times before achieving their goals. J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, was rejected by 12 publishers before her first book was accepted. Thomas Edison failed more than 1,000 times before inventing the practical light bulb. These successful people didn't see failure as a sign of weakness; they saw it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Psychologists have found that the way people respond to failure is determined by their mindset. People with a fixed mindset believe that their abilities are innate and unchangeable, so they see failure as proof that they are not good enough. They avoid challenges, give up easily when they fail, and are afraid to take risks. On the other hand, people with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can be developed through hard work and practice. They see failure as a chance to learn, improve, and become better. They embrace challenges, persist in the face of setbacks, and see effort as the path to mastery. For teenagers, learning to accept and learn from failure is especially important. In a rapidly changing world, the ability to adapt to setbacks and learn from mistakes is more valuable than perfect grades. A 2025 study from Stanford University found that teenagers who were taught to embrace failure had higher academic performance, better mental health, and more resilience than those who were only praised for their success. Critics often argue that failure can damage teenagers' self-esteem and make them give up. But this is only true if failure is seen as a final judgment on their abilities. When teenagers are taught that failure is a normal part of learning, and that they can improve through effort, failure becomes a powerful tool for growth. "Success is not the absence of failure; it's the ability to learn from failure," said Carol Dweck, the leading psychologist who developed the growth mindset theory. "The greatest gift we can give young people is not to protect them from failure, but to teach them how to bounce back from it, learn from it, and use it to achieve their goals." 12.
