语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。我们都有过被拒绝的经历,尽管这让人很难受,但其实被拒绝很普遍,近年来越来越多的人开始接受被拒绝。
1.B 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的endless stream of “we regret to inform you” messages flooding my email inbox可知,作者收到了无数封拒绝邮件,故可推知绿色标记的录用信息很“罕见”。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知,被拒绝后强烈的受伤情绪可能源于需要被他人认可以及需要分辨威胁我们社会归属感的因素。换句话说,被拒绝后感到受伤是因为它导致了人们社会归属感的丧失。
3.C 观点态度题。根据最后一段中Elayne Savage说的话可知,Savage让人们分享自己被拒绝的经历来帮助人们应对被拒绝后的孤独感。由此可知,Savage对该运动持支持态度。
4.B 主旨大意题。开篇作者分享了自己的经历:在求职过程中收到过无数拒绝信,这让自己很受伤,但是好友Andi告诉作者这种经历很普遍,每一个成功的人都被拒绝过无数次,接着作者解释了被拒绝会让人受伤的原因,最后作者介绍了近年来鼓励人们接受拒绝的运动,并借心理治疗师Elayne Savage之口,强调了被拒绝是一个普遍的现象,人们可以通过分享经历和接受拒绝来缓解它带来的痛苦。从以上结构可以看出,本文围绕着被拒绝的主题展开,强调了这一经历十分普遍,不可避免,B项最能传达此意。

5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的For someone who ...body was overwhelming.可知,这种情况具有压倒性是因为Lisa对突然失去独立能力毫无准备。
6.C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,写日记给了Lisa一种情感上的解脱和清醒。
7.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的Lisa noticed a pattern和The entries ... maintaining her determination.可知,Lisa从日记中获得的见解是关注小的胜利能让她保持动力。
8.A 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的Lisa’s story inspired ...but by perseverance.可知,文章讲述了Lisa在由于疾病导致身体失去控制时,通过坚持写日记,关注日常取得的小的胜利来保持动力,最终不仅康复还写了书激励他人。这强调了她精神上的坚韧对身体恢复的重要作用,即身体恢复在很大程度上取决于精神上的坚韧。
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章先提出人们对失败的普遍错误看法,接着通过具体事例阐述失败能转化为机会,进而分析促使成功的因素,最后论述了保持灵活性的关键所在。

Rising to Challenges
Last summer, I faced a significant challenge when I decided to participate in a regional programming competition as an enthusiastic green hand of programming.Through countless hours of studying, practicing, and seeking guidance from teachers, I gradually gained a deeper understanding of programming techniques.The competition day arrived, and though I ran into difficulties, I didn’t give up.Finally, my perseverance paid off with a good outcome.
The experience taught me the value of hard work.I have learned that challenges are opportunities for growth, and embracing them brings a sense of achievement that is truly rewarding.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
The year after I graduated from college, my days followed a familiar pattern.Each day, I woke up on my sister’s sofa and opened my computer to a colored job hunt sheet:Yellow meant waiting to hear back.Red meant “rejected”, usually sent in the form of a polite email.Green meant “accepted”, though that color was elusive.
I knew I wasn’t alone in the endless stream of “we regret to inform you” messages flooding my email inbox, but it sure felt like it.When I told this feeling to my friend Andi — someone I’ve long admired for her achievements — she expressed that she felt the same and added:“Behind each success you see from others are a lot of rejections, too.”
The idea has stuck with me ever since.Now, every time I see a job announcement on social media, I imagine the even longer shadow (阴影) of rejections behind it.
There’s a reason the rejection hurts so bad — and sticks around with us for so long.This strong emotional reaction may have arisen out of a need to be accepted by other humans and to identify threats to our sense of social belonging, Mark Richard Leary, a professor of psychology, wrote in an article about interpersonal rejection.In fact, a brain study showed that social rejection causes activity in the brain similar to physical pain.
Despite the natural tendency (倾向) to avoid these unpleasant feelings, there’s been a movement in recent years to accept rejection.Social media users have increasingly posted their rejections in an attempt to normalize it.Psychotherapist Elayne Savage, who has written two books about the subject, said she often uses this approach with people to help them feel less alone in their experiences.“What’s so hurtful about feeling rejected is feeling so alone,”Savage said.“So I try to help people realize it really is universal.”
1.What does the underlined word “elusive” in paragraph 1 mean?( )
A.Bright. B.Rare.
C.Unique. D.Complicated.
2.Why does the rejection often hurt so much?( )
A.It causes physical pain in the brain. B.It threatens interpersonal relationships.
C.It leads to a lack of emotional reaction. D.It results in a loss of social belonging.
3.What might be Savage’s attitude to the movement in recent years?( )
A.Confused. B.Doubtful.
C.Supportive. D.Uninterested.
4.What message does the author most want to give us?( )
A.A rejection can be a redirection. B.Rejection is part of life’s journey.
C.Good things come to those who are rejected. D.Every rejection is one step closer to perfection.
B
At the age of 27, Lisa Carter was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition that temporarily affected her ability to walk and speak. For someone who had always taken her independence for granted, the sudden loss of control over her own body was overwhelming. But rather than falling into despair, Lisa decided to use her recovery journey as an opportunity to redefine her understanding of strength.
During the long months of therapy, Lisa became fascinated by the resilience of the human brain. She read extensively about neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) — the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. Inspired, she began keeping a journal where she documented not only her physical progress but also her emotional highs and lows. Over time, the act of writing became a way for her to process her fears and frustrations, and to find clarity among the chaos.
One evening, while re-reading her journal entries, Lisa noticed a pattern. The entries that focused on small victories — like taking her first unassisted step — seemed to carry more emotional weight than those obsessing over her struggles. She realized that celebrating gradual progress, no matter how insignificant it seemed, had been the key to maintaining her determination. This insight marked a turning point in her recovery. From that day on, she chose to focus on what she could do rather than what she couldn’t.
Two years later, Lisa not only regained her ability to walk and speak but also authored a book about her experience, titled Steps of the Mind. The book became a best-seller and was praised for its honest and hopeful portrayal of recovery. Lisa’s story inspired countless others facing similar challenges, reminding them that strength is not defined by perfection but by perseverance.
5.Why was Lisa’s condition particularly overwhelming to her?( )
A.She had always relied heavily on others for support.
B.Her career required her to be physically active.
C.Her condition was diagnosed at an unusually young age.
D.She was unprepared for the sudden loss of independence.
6.How did keeping a journal help Lisa during her recovery?( )
A.It allowed her to improve her writing skills.
B.It helped her identify the causes of her condition.
C.It provided her with a sense of emotional relief and clarity.
D.It gave her a way to communicate when she couldn’t speak.
7.What was the key insight Lisa gained from her journal entries?( )
A.Writing about her struggles improved her emotional health.
B.Focusing on small victories kept her motivated.
C.Rapid recovery was less important than steady progress.
D.Setting ambitious goals was the key to success.
8.What does Lisa’s story primarily teach us?( )
A.Physical recovery depends largely on mental resilience.
B.Journaling is essential for overcoming challenges.
C.Medical knowledge is crucial for personal growth.
D.Support from others is the most important factor in recovery.

Failure is a big part of everyone’s life. The problem many of us face, however, is that we automatically equate experiencing failure with being a failure. We view it as something to be ashamed of, or embarrassed about, something to be avoided or hidden.
In fact, failure gives us an opportunity to learn, adapt and grow. It should be expected on the way to achieving life goals and used as a feedback mechanism (机制) to get it right next time, or the time after.
I recently saw a woman who had to give up studying for her university degree. She had bipolar disorder (躁郁症) and was unable to cope with the pressure of studying. She was studying to be a teacher and had hoped to find a teaching job. However, she failed her exams and job interviews, and overall felt like she was failing to achieve anything.
One of the things she enjoyed doing was singing in a band. So in order to earn a bit of money, she began giving singing lessons to children in her community. Fast forward 18 months and she now has her own growing business of teaching singing full-time. She hasn’t achieved this goal in the way she imagined, and she wouldn’t have embarked on this path without the setbacks she encountered.
What was it about this woman that made her succeed? Yes, failure had a big part to play, but the ability to bounce back and be flexible was an important factor.
An important part of developing flexibility is having a supportive network. Having relationships with people who can support us helps us go through tough times.
Our attitudes toward ourselves are also crucially important, including a sense that we are in control of our actions, have confidence in what we do, realize our strengths and set ourselves achievable and realistic goals. This is all necessary to flexibility.
The secret to flexibility lies in accepting that there are things in life we cannot change. Rather than thinking of ourselves as victims, we need to realize we have the ability to change the way we think, behave and, ultimately, feel. Life may throw manure (粪肥) at us, but we can grow roses with it.
9.What do people usually think of failure?( )
A.Shameful. B.Unavoidable.
C.Changeable. D.Rewarding.
10.What do paragraphs 3-4 mainly talk about?( )
A.Ways to achieve our goals in life. B.Reflection on how to avoid failure.
C.Reasons why failure can’t be avoided. D.An example of turning failure into a chance.
11.What does the author think contributes to the woman’s success?( )
A.Her positive mindset. B.Her ability to adapt.
C.Her eagerness to learn. D.Her courage and persistence.
12.What is the key to being flexible, according to the author?( )
A.Ignoring what bothers us. B.Keeping improving our abilities.
C.Learning to accept failure. D.Setting goals based on our interests.
