My mother’s unusual behavior seemed harmless at first, but I wish her Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默症) had been diagnosed (确诊) 10 years earlier. Shockingly, her disease was only discovered in its final stages when she was just 68. She was among the 5% of patients who develop early Alzheimer’s before age 65, which I never guessed.
After visiting doctors and doing research, I see clear early signs I once ignored. We considered her symptoms as normal aging or just her silly personality. Today I know these were her first, most misleading signs of Alzheimer’s.
For example, she often misplaced her keys and phone, which we laughed off as a bad habit. Yet frequent loss of daily things is among the earliest warnings. She also repeated the same questions, like which bus I would take to work. Repeating information and forgetting conversations are both red flags. Sometimes people forget things because they depend on electronic devices, but daily memory loss is far from normal.
My mom had always been outgoing and active. However, after moving to a new town, she began refusing social events. Social withdrawal turned out to be an early sign. Trouble remembering routes and new places is another early warning signal. She kept losing weight without reason. A study shows that people who develop dementia (痴呆) often start to lose weight at least 10 years before diagnosis.
If you notice these signs in someone you love, please take them to see a doctor as soon as possible. Early medical help can slow the progression of Alzheimer’s. Do not make the same mistake I did by laughing off the early signs. A timely visit to the doctor could make a real difference. I hope my story reminds you to pay attention before it is too late.
24. What can we know about the Alzheimer’s of the author’s mother?
A. It was too late to slow her disease progression.
B. She went into Alzheimer’s final stage at the age of 58.
C. Alzheimer’s was the rarest form of dementia.
D. She was diagnosed to develop early Alzheimer’s.
25. Which of the following could be the early sign of Alzheimer’s?
A. Misplacing the keys once in a while. B. Refusing social events when feeling tired.
C. Missing information in conversations. D. Losing weight without obvious reason.
26. Why did the author’s family ignore the mother’s early signs?
A. They didn’t trust her silly personality. B. They were too busy to notice these signs.
C. They thought these signs were normal. D. They didn’t care about the mother’s health.
27. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To share the author’s sad experience. B. To remind people of Alzheimer’s early signs.
C. To explain how to treat Alzheimer’s. D. To introduce the cause of Alzheimer’s disease.

Every winter, hundreds of people descend upon a frozen lake in Madison, Wisconsin, for the 5K race performed entirely on lake ice. When people jump, the ice shakes. But it doesn’t break. That’s because the 14 inches underfoot is plenty of ice to hold many people. Except for 2024, when they moved the festival to the shore. “It was really uncertain if the lake ice was safe enough. So they decided not to do it,” says Hilary Dugan, a scientist at University of Wisconsin, Madison who studies lake ice.
When air temperatures drop in winter, the lake surface loses heat and ice eventually forms. Then, water freezes downward. This is called black ice. But other kinds of ice can form on the lake too. “White ice is what’s forming when you freeze snow. So that tends to freeze on the surface,” says Dugan. “White ice has a lot more air in it. It’s just weaker in general.” As climate change increases the amount and range of temperature, more melting (融化) and refreezing occurs. That spells more white, unsafe ice.
More than 4,000 deadly through-ice drownings from 1991 to 2016 have been documented. “Half of those drownings can be explained by winter air temperatures,” says Sapna Sharma, a professor at York University. She adds that as the climate continues to warm, those numbers will rise. Along with less safe ice, Sharma forecasts about 5,700 lakes may permanently become ice-free within this century.
But Dugan struggles to be sanguine about the future of lake ice. “Climate change is tricky because it’s hard to see it slowing down any time soon,” she says. “I think we’re all going to have to change how we live a little bit. And with that comes probably a lot of sorrow, but maybe also some hope and other opportunities.”
28. What happened to the 5K race in 2024?
A. It was canceled. B. It drew fewer people.
C. Its place was changed. D. It was held on thicker ice.
29. Why is white ice unsafe?
A. Because it freezes under water. B. Because its structure is weaker.
C. Because it is easier to refreeze into snow. D. Because it melts even in low temperature.
30. What can we infer from Sapna Sharma’s words?
A. People should avoid lake activities in winter. B. Most drownings happen in ice-free lakes.
C. Lakes are places more likely to cause drownings. D. White ice problem can be more common.
31. What do the underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Disappointed.
D
For years, robotics scientist Sthithpragya Gupta has dreamed of a robot that could make him a coffee — one that would respond to simple voice commands like “a little bit of sugar, a bit more creamer.”
A long-standing problem, however, is that robots cannot handle tasks beyond their specific programming. Gupta uses a tennis example to illustrate the issue: while a robot can perfectly repeat a backhand shot again and again, it all falls apart when conditions change — for example, the opponent moves or the light shifts. Humans adjust effortlessly, but teaching this adaptability to robots has proven profoundly difficult.
Now, Gupta and his colleagues have demonstrated a new way of teaching robots. The approach relies on kinematic intelligence — a robot’s built-in awareness of how its own body can move safely through space. In a video demonstrating their technology, accompanied with other programming, robots watch as a human instructor throws a ball into a small container. The robots then pick up the ball and copy the instructor’s behavior, adjusting for their own positions and bodies. Robots are then capable of transferring these skills and knowledge to other robots.
“It could be a turning point,” says Robert Platt, a robotics researcher. Platt, who called the work a “breakthrough,” noted that the field of robotics is not widely — agreed belief of creating effective robots through machine learning — but that most agree the problem these researchers are tackling is a critical one. “More people may do this in the future,” he said. Platt was hesitant to forecast any particular timeline for robots becoming widespread household accessories (家庭用品). “We’re at a point of very fast change,” he notes. “Part of the reason why I hesitate to make predictions — look what happened with large language models,” he says, referring to generative AI chatbots such as ChatGPT that has been widely adopted. “We were a long way away and then all of a sudden — we weren’t.”
32. What is the long-standing problem for robots?
A. They cannot understand voice commands.
B. They lack the flexibility to handle changes.
C. They are programmed with simple instructions.
D. They learn sports skills much slower than humans.
33. What is “kinematic intelligence”?
A. A natural sense of movement.
B. An ability to behave as programmed.
C. A new way to show technology’s power.
D. A skill of transferring knowledge to others.
34. Why does Platt mention ChatGPT?
A. To stress the importance of machine learning.
B. To remind that the predictions about robots often fail.
C. To suggest home robots may arrive sooner than expected.
D. To prove robotics may use AI chatbots to make improvement.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An Approach to Creating Moving Robots
B. An Outburst of Robots’ Language Ability
C. A Way of Designing Self-minded Robots
D. A Breakthrough in Robots’ Adaptability

Ways to Make Peace with Failure
Failure is an unavoidable part of life. Many of us fear it deeply, and allow failure to control our emotions and dominate our future. ____36____ Here are four strategies to overcome fear:
Don’t make it personal. Separate failure from your identity. Not succeeding at something doesn’t mean you are a failure. Personalizing failure damages self-esteem (自尊) and confidence. Abraham Lincoln refused to let his failures define him. ____37____
Take stock, learn and adapt. Analyze failure objectively without anger or blame. ____38____ Was the failure completely beyond your control? After gathering the facts, step back and ask yourself, what did I learn from this? Then you won’t trap yourself in negative emotions.
Release the need for others’ approval. Fear of failure often stems from fear of judgment and losing others’ respect. ____39____ So what one person considers to be true about you is not necessarily the truth about you.
____40____ Shift from negative beliefs to positive ones. View failure as a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block (绊脚石). The faster you take a positive step forward, the quicker you can leave these weakening thoughts behind. Those who achieve greatness always take failures as experiments which direct them to find the right way.
A. Try a new point of view.
B. Always keep hope in your heart.
C. Remember, this is your life, not theirs.
D. In fact, it is not so hard to let go and move on.
E. He fought against significant failures to achieve greatness.
F. We are easy to get influenced by what people say about us.
G. Ask why it happened and what might have produced a better outcome.

But the heart of his story lies in the gift he received from Jessica, a stranger who ____52____ a piece of herself to save him. “It’s she who gave me the ____53____ days.” Ortepi’s voice trembles with emotion.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Several years ago I was living in a small town. Though I had a college degree, I could not find a steady job. So I was delivering a local newspaper — named The Beacon — as a temporary job. I had gone through several formal job interviews, all failed. My last interview was for a reporter post in that newspaper and one afternoon I got called that I was not qualified for that position. “You have the skills we need,” the manager said. “but you never dare to look at us with your eyes. Obviously, that’s what you’ll do when you sit in front of your interviewees.”
“Will my life always be this difficult?” I asked myself sadly.
The next morning, as I stopped my bike to hand over a newspaper to a familiar subscriber (订报人), an old businessman, I could not hide my low spirits. He noticed that and asked what was wrong. I told him briefly about my repeated failures. He listened quietly, then went into his house, returned later and handed me a bookmark (书签).
“Twenty years ago, I lost my all my money in an investment disaster. I was at a loss like you now. A friend gave this bookmark to me. It lighted up my heart and helped me begin again. I hope you’ll soon find a perfect job and its words’ meaning.” I looked at it, on which there were some faded words: “Don’t let fear write your story.”
With the first glance I thought it was silly. Then it struck me — I had been putting all of my energy into worrying about my failures. Because I feared that if I had failed, it would be the end of my stories. And the more I was worried about, the less confidence I had to face a challenge.
注意:
1. 续写词数为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
I decided to change my way of seeing things.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Three days later, I got informed from the manager of The Beacon, congratulating me that I had passed the interview.

【原文】M: The streets of London were filled with energy yesterday for the city’s famous yearly marathon, a major international sporting event. Beginning in the open space of the Greenwich Park in the morning, the 26-mile course went its way past famous landmarks like the Tower Bridge, finishing at the entrance of the House of Parliament. Event organizers reported that more than 4,000 runners took part. The weather, cool and cloudy, was ideal for the long-distance run. Among the participants, over 1,200 were over 60 years old, and about 800 people were running not for a fast time, but to raise money for poor families. The first runner to cross the finish line was from Kenya, completing the race in just over two hours. Yet for the vast majority, the main goal was simply the personal achievement of finishing. A 70-year-old woman completed the course in over seven hours without stopping, finally greeted by her proud, smiling family. Events like this marathon show that it is more than just a race; it brings the community together and proves that with strong will, personal goals are within reach.

My mother’s unusual behavior seemed harmless at first, but I wish her Alzheimer’s (阿兹海默症) had been diagnosed (确诊) 10 years earlier. Shockingly, her disease was only discovered in its final stages when she was just 68. She was among the 5% of patients who develop early Alzheimer’s before age 65, which I never guessed.
After visiting doctors and doing research, I see clear early signs I once ignored. We considered her symptoms as normal aging or just her silly personality. Today I know these were her first, most misleading signs of Alzheimer’s.
For example, she often misplaced her keys and phone, which we laughed off as a bad habit. Yet frequent loss of daily things is among the earliest warnings. She also repeated the same questions, like which bus I would take to work. Repeating information and forgetting conversations are both red flags. Sometimes people forget things because they depend on electronic devices, but daily memory loss is far from normal.
My mom had always been outgoing and active. However, after moving to a new town, she began refusing social events. Social withdrawal turned out to be an early sign. Trouble remembering routes and new places is another early warning signal. She kept losing weight without reason. A study shows that people who develop dementia (痴呆) often start to lose weight at least 10 years before diagnosis.
If you notice these signs in someone you love, please take them to see a doctor as soon as possible. Early medical help can slow the progression of Alzheimer’s. Do not make the same mistake I did by laughing off the early signs. A timely visit to the doctor could make a real difference. I hope my story reminds you to pay attention before it is too late.
24. What can we know about the Alzheimer’s of the author’s mother?
A. It was too late to slow her disease progression.
B. She went into Alzheimer’s final stage at the age of 58.
C. Alzheimer’s was the rarest form of dementia.
D. She was diagnosed to develop early Alzheimer’s.
25. Which of the following could be the early sign of Alzheimer’s?
A. Misplacing the keys once in a while. B. Refusing social events when feeling tired.
C. Missing information in conversations. D. Losing weight without obvious reason.
26. Why did the author’s family ignore the mother’s early signs?
A. They didn’t trust her silly personality. B. They were too busy to notice these signs.
C. They thought these signs were normal. D. They didn’t care about the mother’s health.
27. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To share the author’s sad experience. B. To remind people of Alzheimer’s early signs.
C. To explain how to treat Alzheimer’s. D. To introduce the cause of Alzheimer’s disease.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【导语】作者母亲早年出现丢物品、回避社交、无故消瘦等阿尔茨海默早期迹象,家人误以为是正常衰老,确诊时已到晚期。作者借此警示众人发现类似症状及时就医。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Shockingly, her disease was only discovered in its final stages when she was just 68. She was among the 5% of patients who develop early Alzheimer’s before age 65, which I never guessed.(令人震惊的是,她的病情直到她年仅68岁时才被发现,处于晚期。她属于在65岁之前就患上早发性阿尔茨海默病的5%患者之一,这完全出乎我的意料)”可知,作者母亲的阿尔茨海默病发现已经太晚,无法延缓她病情的发展。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“She kept losing weight without reason. A study shows that people who develop dementia (痴呆) often start to lose weight at least 10 years before diagnosis.(她无缘无故地持续体重下降。一项研究表明,患有痴呆症的人通常在确诊前至少10年就开始出现体重减轻的情况)”可知,无明显原因体重下降可能是阿尔茨海默病的早期征兆。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“We considered her symptoms as normal aging or just her silly personality.(我们以为她的症状是正常的衰老,或者只是她本身迷糊)”可知,作者的家人忽视了母亲的早期征兆因为他们认为这些征兆是正常的。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I hope my story reminds you to pay attention before it is too late.(希望我的故事能提醒你,在为时已晚之前多加留意)”可知,作者撰写本文的目的是提醒人们注意阿尔茨海默病的早期症状。

Every winter, hundreds of people descend upon a frozen lake in Madison, Wisconsin, for the 5K race performed entirely on lake ice. When people jump, the ice shakes. But it doesn’t break. That’s because the 14 inches underfoot is plenty of ice to hold many people. Except for 2024, when they moved the festival to the shore. “It was really uncertain if the lake ice was safe enough. So they decided not to do it,” says Hilary Dugan, a scientist at University of Wisconsin, Madison who studies lake ice.
When air temperatures drop in winter, the lake surface loses heat and ice eventually forms. Then, water freezes downward. This is called black ice. But other kinds of ice can form on the lake too. “White ice is what’s forming when you freeze snow. So that tends to freeze on the surface,” says Dugan. “White ice has a lot more air in it. It’s just weaker in general.” As climate change increases the amount and range of temperature, more melting (融化) and refreezing occurs. That spells more white, unsafe ice.
More than 4,000 deadly through-ice drownings from 1991 to 2016 have been documented. “Half of those drownings can be explained by winter air temperatures,” says Sapna Sharma, a professor at York University. She adds that as the climate continues to warm, those numbers will rise. Along with less safe ice, Sharma forecasts about 5,700 lakes may permanently become ice-free within this century.
But Dugan struggles to be sanguine about the future of lake ice. “Climate change is tricky because it’s hard to see it slowing down any time soon,” she says. “I think we’re all going to have to change how we live a little bit. And with that comes probably a lot of sorrow, but maybe also some hope and other opportunities.”
28. What happened to the 5K race in 2024?
A. It was canceled. B. It drew fewer people.
C. Its place was changed. D. It was held on thicker ice.
29. Why is white ice unsafe?
A. Because it freezes under water. B. Because its structure is weaker.
C. Because it is easier to refreeze into snow. D. Because it melts even in low temperature.
30. What can we infer from Sapna Sharma’s words?
A. People should avoid lake activities in winter. B. Most drownings happen in ice-free lakes.
C. Lakes are places more likely to cause drownings. D. White ice problem can be more common.
31. What do the underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Disappointed.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了威斯康星冰上5K赛事2024年因冰层不安全移至岸边。气候变暖催生脆弱白冰,致冰溺增多,专家担忧未来大量湖泊不再结冰,对湖冰前景难持乐观。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Except for 2024, when they moved the festival to the shore.(除了2024年,当时他们将节庆活动移至湖岸)”可知,2024年的5公里赛的举办地点被更改了。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“White ice has a lot more air in it. It’s just weaker in general.(白冰的空气含量高得多,总体上结构更脆弱)”可知,白色冰不安全因为它的结构更脆弱。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As climate change increases the amount and range of temperature, more melting (融化) and refreezing occurs. That spells more white, unsafe ice.(气候变化使得气温的波动幅度和范围增大,从而引发更多冰层融化和重新冻结,造成更多白色且不安全的冰面)”以及第三段“She adds that as the climate continues to warm, those numbers will rise. Along with less safe ice, Sharma forecasts about 5,700 lakes may permanently become ice-free within this century.(她还表示,随着气候持续变暖,这些数字将会上升。同时,由于冰层安全性降低,夏尔马预测本世纪内约有5700个湖泊可能永久不再结冰)”可知,白冰问题可能更为普遍。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Climate change is tricky because it’s hard to see it slowing down any time soon(气候变化很棘手,因为很难看到它在短期内放缓)”可知,Dugan认为气候变化短期内难放缓,很难对湖冰未来保持乐观。故划线词意思是“乐观的”。
D
For years, robotics scientist Sthithpragya Gupta has dreamed of a robot that could make him a coffee — one that would respond to simple voice commands like “a little bit of sugar, a bit more creamer.”
A long-standing problem, however, is that robots cannot handle tasks beyond their specific programming. Gupta uses a tennis example to illustrate the issue: while a robot can perfectly repeat a backhand shot again and again, it all falls apart when conditions change — for example, the opponent moves or the light shifts. Humans adjust effortlessly, but teaching this adaptability to robots has proven profoundly difficult.
Now, Gupta and his colleagues have demonstrated a new way of teaching robots. The approach relies on kinematic intelligence — a robot’s built-in awareness of how its own body can move safely through space. In a video demonstrating their technology, accompanied with other programming, robots watch as a human instructor throws a ball into a small container. The robots then pick up the ball and copy the instructor’s behavior, adjusting for their own positions and bodies. Robots are then capable of transferring these skills and knowledge to other robots.
“It could be a turning point,” says Robert Platt, a robotics researcher. Platt, who called the work a “breakthrough,” noted that the field of robotics is not widely — agreed belief of creating effective robots through machine learning — but that most agree the problem these researchers are tackling is a critical one. “More people may do this in the future,” he said. Platt was hesitant to forecast any particular timeline for robots becoming widespread household accessories (家庭用品). “We’re at a point of very fast change,” he notes. “Part of the reason why I hesitate to make predictions — look what happened with large language models,” he says, referring to generative AI chatbots such as ChatGPT that has been widely adopted. “We were a long way away and then all of a sudden — we weren’t.”
32. What is the long-standing problem for robots?
A. They cannot understand voice commands.
B. They lack the flexibility to handle changes.
C. They are programmed with simple instructions.
D. They learn sports skills much slower than humans.
33. What is “kinematic intelligence”?
A. A natural sense of movement.
B. An ability to behave as programmed.
C. A new way to show technology’s power.
D. A skill of transferring knowledge to others.
34. Why does Platt mention ChatGPT?
A. To stress the importance of machine learning.
B. To remind that the predictions about robots often fail.
C. To suggest home robots may arrive sooner than expected.
D. To prove robotics may use AI chatbots to make improvement.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. An Approach to Creating Moving Robots
B. An Outburst of Robots’ Language Ability
C. A Way of Designing Self-minded Robots
D. A Breakthrough in Robots’ Adaptability
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍科研人员研发出赋予机器人环境适应能力的新方法,该突破获得业内研究者高度评价。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A long-standing problem, however, is that robots cannot handle tasks beyond their specific programming. Gupta uses a tennis example to illustrate the issue: while a robot can perfectly repeat a backhand shot again and again, it all falls apart when conditions change — for example, the opponent moves or the light shifts.(然而一个长期存在的难题是机器人无法处理自身特定编程以外的任务。古普塔用网球举例说明这个问题:机器人可以一遍又一遍完美重复反手击球,但环境一旦改变,比如对手移动、光线变化,动作就完全失效。)”可知,机器人长期存在的问题是无法应对环境变化,缺少灵活应变能力。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的 “The approach relies on kinematic intelligence — a robot’s built-in awareness of how its own body can move safely through space.(这种方法依靠kinematic intelligence —— 机器人内置的、知晓自身躯体如何在空间内安全移动的感知能力。)”可知,后文对该短语进行完整释义,说明它是机器人自带的躯体运动感知能力,因此,画线短语指代 “A natural sense of movement” 符合语境。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Platt was hesitant to forecast any particular timeline for robots becoming widespread household accessories (家庭用品). “We’re at a point of very fast change,” he notes. “Part of the reason why I hesitate to make predictions — look what happened with large language models,” he says, referring to generative AI chatbots such as ChatGPT that has been widely adopted. “We were a long way away and then all of a sudden — we weren’t.”(普拉特对预测机器人成为普及家居用品的具体时间线持犹豫态度。“我们正处在变化速度极快的阶段,”他指出。“我不愿做出预判的部分原因——看看大语言模型身上发生了什么,”他说道,这里指的是诸如ChatGPT这类已被广泛使用的生成式AI聊天机器人。“我们原本还相距甚远,可忽然之间——距离就不复存在了。”)”可知,他提及ChatGPT是为说明家用机器人或许会比预想中更快普及。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章先指出机器人缺乏环境适应性的固有难题,再介绍古普塔团队研发出能让机器人自主调整动作、复制并传递技能的全新方法,业内研究者称其为突破性成果,核心围绕机器人适应性技术突破展开,所以 “机器人适应性领域的一项突破”完整概括文章核心内容,适合作为标题。

Ways to Make Peace with Failure
Failure is an unavoidable part of life. Many of us fear it deeply, and allow failure to control our emotions and dominate our future. ____36____ Here are four strategies to overcome fear:
Don’t make it personal. Separate failure from your identity. Not succeeding at something doesn’t mean you are a failure. Personalizing failure damages self-esteem (自尊) and confidence. Abraham Lincoln refused to let his failures define him. ____37____
Take stock, learn and adapt. Analyze failure objectively without anger or blame. ____38____ Was the failure completely beyond your control? After gathering the facts, step back and ask yourself, what did I learn from this? Then you won’t trap yourself in negative emotions.
Release the need for others’ approval. Fear of failure often stems from fear of judgment and losing others’ respect. ____39____ So what one person considers to be true about you is not necessarily the truth about you.
____40____ Shift from negative beliefs to positive ones. View failure as a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block (绊脚石). The faster you take a positive step forward, the quicker you can leave these weakening thoughts behind. Those who achieve greatness always take failures as experiments which direct them to find the right way.
A. Try a new point of view.
B. Always keep hope in your heart.
C. Remember, this is your life, not theirs.
D. In fact, it is not so hard to let go and move on.
E. He fought against significant failures to achieve greatness.
F. We are easy to get influenced by what people say about us.
G. Ask why it happened and what might have produced a better outcome.
【答案】36. D 37. E 38. G 39. C 40. A
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍了与失败和解的几种方法。
【36题详解】
前文提到“Failure is an unavoidable part of life. Many of us fear it deeply, and allow failure to control our emotions and dominate our future.(失败是生活中不可避免的一部分。我们很多人都深深害怕它,让失败控制我们的情绪并主宰我们的未来)”,后文则给出与失败和解的策略。D选项“In fact, it is not so hard to let go and move on.(事实上,放下并继续前行并不是那么难。)”起到承上启下的作用,既承接前文人们对失败的恐惧,又引出后文克服恐惧与失败和解的策略,表明其实与失败和解并非难事。
【37题详解】
前文提到“Abraham Lincoln refused to let his failures define him.(亚伯拉罕·林肯拒绝让他的失败定义他自己)”可知,以林肯为例说明不应让失败定义自己。E选项“He fought against significant failures to achieve greatness.(他与重大失败作斗争,最终成就伟大)”进一步阐述林肯面对失败的态度和最终成就,与前文林肯的例子相呼应。
【38题详解】
根据前文“Take stock, learn and adapt. Analyze failure objectively without anger or blame.(评估现状、学习并适应。客观地分析失败,不愤怒、不指责)”以及根据后文“Was the failure completely beyond your control? After gathering the facts, step back and ask yourself, what did I learn from this?(这次失败完全超出你的控制了吗?收集事实后,退一步问问自己,我从这次经历中学到了什么?)”。G选项“Ask why it happened and what might have produced a better outcome.(问问为什么会发生这种情况,以及怎样可能会产生更好的结果)”中的“Ask why”和“what might have produced a better outcome”符合客观分析失败的语境,进一步说明分析失败时应问的问题。
【39题详解】
根据前文“Fear of failure often stems from fear of judgment and losing others’ respect.(对失败的恐惧往往源于害怕被评判和失去他人的尊重)”以及根据后文“So what one person considers to be true about you is not necessarily the truth about you.(所以,一个人对你的看法不一定就是关于你的事实)”。C选项“Remember, this is your life, not theirs.(记住,这是你的生活,不是他们的)”强调生活是自己的,不应过分在意他人看法,与前后文关于不要因害怕他人评判而恐惧失败的内容相契合。
【40题详解】
此空为段落小标题。根据后文“Shift from negative beliefs to positive ones. View failure as a stepping stone rather than a stumbling block (绊脚石).(从消极的信念转变为积极的信念。把失败看作是一块垫脚石而不是绊脚石)”可知,此处强调要改变看待失败的观点。A选项“Try a new point of view.(尝试一个新的观点)”能够概括该段落内容。

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Several years ago I was living in a small town. Though I had a college degree, I could not find a steady job. So I was delivering a local newspaper — named The Beacon — as a temporary job. I had gone through several formal job interviews, all failed. My last interview was for a reporter post in that newspaper and one afternoon I got called that I was not qualified for that position. “You have the skills we need,” the manager said. “but you never dare to look at us with your eyes. Obviously, that’s what you’ll do when you sit in front of your interviewees.”
“Will my life always be this difficult?” I asked myself sadly.
The next morning, as I stopped my bike to hand over a newspaper to a familiar subscriber (订报人), an old businessman, I could not hide my low spirits. He noticed that and asked what was wrong. I told him briefly about my repeated failures. He listened quietly, then went into his house, returned later and handed me a bookmark (书签).
“Twenty years ago, I lost my all my money in an investment disaster. I was at a loss like you now. A friend gave this bookmark to me. It lighted up my heart and helped me begin again. I hope you’ll soon find a perfect job and its words’ meaning.” I looked at it, on which there were some faded words: “Don’t let fear write your story.”
With the first glance I thought it was silly. Then it struck me — I had been putting all of my energy into worrying about my failures. Because I feared that if I had failed, it would be the end of my stories. And the more I was worried about, the less confidence I had to face a challenge.
注意:
1. 续写词数为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
I decided to change my way of seeing things.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Three days later, I got informed from the manager of The Beacon, congratulating me that I had passed the interview.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I decided to change my way of seeing things. I took my delivery job as usual, but this time I tried to smile to every subscriber. At the same time, I prepared hard to look for permanent work. However, this time, I paid more attention to detailed requirements for the potential job rather than just worrying about whether I was “qualified”. Then soon came a new interview for the reporter post. I sat again in front of David, trying my best to answer his questions while looking into the judges’ eyes with sincere smiles.
Three days later, I got informed from David, congratulating me that I passed the interview. I jumped with joy and thanked them so much for offering this precious opportunity. But David said over the phone, “In fact, boy, it’s you who earned this job. You showed full confidence and we have no reason to reject you. May I ask why you changed in such a short time?” “It’s a bookmark’s power.” I replied with a smile. My day then went on well, and before long I got promotions and higher pay. However, to this day I know that it was because I changed my way of thinking that I completely changed my life.
