Unit 2 Success 成功 单元阅读精练 To really succeed in life, have you ever considered getting a nemesis (假想敌)? I totally recommend it. Willpower fades. Apps rarely change behavior. You need the kind of fuel that’s born from pure jealousy or from the fire of anger. It’s a feeling that boils down to: That guy? Such emotion can provide lasting motivation. You do not need to express anger openly or confront anyone directly. Honestly, it’s probably better if you don’t tell anyone at all. Many successful people use this emotion as a source of motivation and have made remarkable achievements. Michael Jordan provides a famous example. Here’s a list of things he was offended by: A rival coach not saying hi to him while out to dinner; A rival saying, “You are, lucky, Mike.” These minor slights fueled his determination and pushed him to do better on the basketball court. Creating an enemy and looking for signs of disrespect from opponents help him achieve great things. Research supports this. A study from the Wharton School shows that underdogs often perform better because they want to prove others wrong. It feels satisfying to prove wrong the people who doubt you. In this sense, such feelings can become powerful forces behind achievement. A nemesis does not need to be a famous people or a direct competitor. It can be anyone whose achievements you secretly envy, whose hard work or talents push you to do better, or whose actions challenge you to step up your own game. The key is to turn this emotion into action: you transform feelings of envy into productive energy and push yourself toward greater accomplishments. Even partners, friends or colleagues can sometimes temporarily serve as motivators in certain situations. Ultimately, the power of a nemesis lies in using emotion strategically. People often fear they can’t succeed — so they hesitate to try… until they get mad enough. This emotion — whether real or imagined — can carry you further and help individuals achieve more than they thought possible, especially when training and talent reach their limits. 【译文欣赏】 想要在人生中真正取得成功，你有没有考虑过给自己树立一个假想敌？我十分推荐这样做。意志力总会消退，各类应用程序也很难真正改变人的行为。你需要一种源自纯粹的嫉妒或是怒火的动力。这种情绪可以归结为一句话：凭什么是他？这类情绪能够提供持久的动力。 你无需当众宣泄怒火，也不必直接与任何人对峙。说实话，最好不要告诉任何人。许多成功者都会利用这种情绪作为动力，最终取得非凡成就。迈克尔・乔丹就是一个知名例子。有很多小事都曾让他心生芥蒂：外出就餐时，对手球队的教练没有和他打招呼；一名对手说：“迈克，你只是运气好。” 这些微不足道的怠慢点燃了他的斗志，促使他在篮球场上表现得更加出色。给自己树立对手，主动捕捉对手流露出来的轻视，助力他收获了巨大成就。 相关研究也佐证了这一点。沃顿商学院的一项研究表明，处于劣势的人往往表现更好，因为他们想要证明别人的看法是错的。向质疑你的人证明他们看错了你，这种感受令人充满成就感。从这个角度来说，这类情绪能够成为取得成就背后强大的助推力量。 假想敌不必是名人，也不用是直接的竞争对手。任何人都可以成为假想敌：你暗自羡慕其成就的人、凭借努力与天赋激励你变得更优秀的人、或是其行为促使你提升自我的人。关键在于将情绪转化为行动：把嫉妒转化为富有成效的能量，推动自己去取得更大的成就。即便是伙伴、朋友或是同事，在某些情况下也可以临时充当激励自己的对象。 归根结底，假想敌的力量在于有策略地运用情绪。人们常常害怕自己无法成功，于是犹豫不决、不敢尝试…… 直到怒火燃起。这种情绪，无论真实存在还是凭空设想，都能推动你走得更远，帮助人们达成原本不敢想象的目标，尤其是当训练与天赋已经抵达瓶颈之时。 【词汇积累】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ ( 1 / 29 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1. nemesis /ˈneməsɪs/n. 对手，假想敌；劲敌 2. willpower /ˈwɪlpaʊə(r)/n. 意志力 3. fade /feɪd/v. 逐渐减弱，消退 4. jealousy /ˈdʒeləsi/n. 嫉妒，羡慕 5. lasting /ˈlɑːstɪŋ/adj. 持久的，长久的 6. confront /kənˈfrʌnt/v. 对峙，直面 7. remarkable /rɪˈmɑːkəbl/adj. 非凡的，显著的 8. slight /slaɪt/n. 怠慢，轻视；冒犯 9. fuel /ˈfjuːəl/v. 激起，刺激；给…… 提供动力 10. underdog /ˈʌndədɒɡ/n. 处于劣势的人，弱者 11. envy /ˈenvi/n.&v. 羡慕，嫉妒 12. productive /prəˈdʌktɪv/adj. 富有成效的 13. accomplishment /əˈkʌmplɪʃmənt/n. 成就，业绩 14. strategically /strəˈtiːdʒɪkli/adv. 策略性地 15. talent /ˈtælənt/n. 天赋，才能 【高考真题链接】 （2026·北京·高考真题）The 21st century has created a whole range of new types of professionals that we have never had before — or if not quite new, at least newly repackaged. The world has always had influential people, for instance, but only now do we have “Influencer”. Similarly, the corporate world has certainly known its fair share of disruption, yet it is only in the last couple of decades that the “Disruptor” has become a recognisable figure in the way we talk about big business. In an earlier era, the Disruptor would have been called an Innovator. Yet while an Innovator creates something new, the Disruptor is defined as much by what they destroy as by what they create. The Disruptor forces change; the clean-up is somebody else’s problem. It’s an attitude best summed up as “Move fast and break things.” Back in 1929, G. K. Chesterton identified the core problem with moving fast and breaking things through a thought experiment. Imagine there is a fence along a road. Suppose it’s been there a long time, and was put there for some purpose. But that purpose is lost over time. To us, now, the fence seems to be nothing but an impediment. Why not remove it? When faced with such a fence, Chesterton thinks the fact that we can’t see the point of the fence is why we should not tear it down. Some fences keep foxes out of henhouses, for instance. If you think you can do without the fence because you’ve never seen a fox, consider if the existence of the fence is precisely why you’ve never seen one. Importantly, Chesterton is not saying that things can never be reformed. His is a preventive principle rather than an outright prohibition. We could rephrase it like this: understand the wisdom in past decisions before you reject them. If we’re too impetuous, we can end up tearing out things we don’t yet realise we rely upon. But uncritical devotion to the “way things are done” can also deny us the possibility of better days. What is required, then, is not the fearlessness of the Disruptor, but the humility (谦卑) to stop and ask questions and to know that our own perspective is neither unique nor comprehensive. Disruption can be a force for good. It can also just leave a big mess. We need the ability to work out which messes are worth avoiding — because however impressively fast you move, some things can’t be easily unbroken. 1．Regarding Chesterton’s principle, the author is _____________. A．supportive B．doubtful C．conflicted D．disappointed 2．What does the word “impetuous” underlined in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．Short-sighted. B．Narrow-minded. C．Hot-headed. D．Old-fashioned. 3．What can we infer from this passage about the Disruptor? A．They may clear up other people’s mess. B．They are in favour of the preventive principle. C．They preserve more traditions than they break. D．They may create more problems than they solve. 4．What does the author intend to tell us? A．Humility should be a driving force for human progress. B．Innovation should move forward the wheel of tradition. C．Reform should draw from the wellspring of past wisdom. D．Disruption should be given priority in social development.

Growing up in Bangladesh, getting their music wasn’t easy. I had to borrow a cassette (磁带), befriend a shop owner, or wait for a friend returning from abroad. Once I had a tape, I played it repeatedly — it was all I had. Today, finding music is simple. I just ask Siri, and it plays. This applies to more than music: recipes, cooking skills, even dating. We can “meet” partners by looking through apps on our phones, no need to leave home. This is progress, but we should be careful. Sometimes, paying a price for things matters. Effort isn’t just a cost — it helps us. First, effort makes data functional. It turns information into personal knowledge. Without effort, it’s impossible to grow skills. That’s why watching 20 YouTube videos about mathematics won’t help you learn math by itself. And it’s why Duolingo is really a video game rather than a serious effort to teach languages. Second, effort makes things meaningful. My hard work to get that cassette made the songs special — if I’d found them on the Internet, they wouldn’t have mattered as much. A 2025 Harvard-MIT study found that students using AI to write essays learned less, were less creative, and understood the material worse than those who worked through it themselves. But we shouldn’t praise effort for no reason. Some effort is just busywork — unnecessary tasks that don’t help. The key is to tell the difference: some difficulties are just annoying (like typing or formatting), but others are part of the activity. Writing in your own words helps you find your thoughts; solving a math problem teaches you to see patterns; cooking without a recipe builds instinct (本能). These struggles aren’t barriers — they’re how you grow, gain skills, and find meaning. Convenience is a gift, but we mustn’t let it take away the struggles that shape us. The question isn’t “How can I make this easier?” but “What kind of difficulty is this? Does it delay me, or does it develop me?” We should keep the right struggles, not all of them. 1．What do we know about the author’s teenage music experience?

A．Formatting a document before sending an email. B．Solving a math problem step by step. C．Searching for a file in computer folders. D．Typing a long report instead of speaking it aloud. Passage 2 （25-26高二下·黑龙江佳木斯·期末）We are enrolled in a full-time school called “life”. Every day in this school, we have opportunities to learn new lessons. Some lessons are pleasant, while others are painful. But all of them are valuable if we are willing to receive them. I remember a lesson I learned from my grandfather. He was a man of few words, but his actions spoke volumes. When I was a teenager, I complained to him about how unfair life seemed. My friends had newer bikes, nicer clothes, and more pocket money. I felt sorry for myself. Instead of offering comfort, my grandfather took me to his workshop. He handed me a piece of wood and some tools. “Make something,” he said. “Anything you like.” I spent the afternoon struggling with the wood. My first attempt was ugly and uneven. My second was slightly better. By the end of the day, I had made a small wooden bird. It was far from perfect, but I felt proud. “Now,” my grandfather said, holding up my creation, “this bird didn’t come from nowhere. It came from your effort, your patience, and your willingness to try. That’s how life works. You don’t get what you wish for — you get what you work for.” That lesson stayed with me. Whenever I face difficulties, I remind myself that life is not about waiting for good things to happen. It is about rolling up your sleeves and making them happen. 1．According to the author, what kind of school is life? A．A place where lessons are always enjoyable. B．A place where we can learn valuable lessons. C．A school that only teaches practical skills. D．A school that focuses on academic subjects. 2．Why did the author complain to his grandfather? A．He did not like his grandfather’s workshop. B．He felt that life was treating him unfairly. C．He wanted a new bike for his birthday. D．He was bored with his school studies. 3．What did the author learn from making the wooden bird? A．Woodworking is a useful skill to master. B．Patience is more important than effort. C．Achievements come from hard work. D．Perfection is impossible to achieve. 4．What does the phrase “rolling up your sleeves” in the last paragraph most likely mean? A．Preparing to work hard. B．Giving up on a task. C．Waiting for help from others. D．Avoiding difficult situations. Passage 3 （25-26高二下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期末）I have always been the quiet type. In class, I would shrink into my seat whenever the teacher looked around for someone to answer a question. My face would flush, my palms would sweat, and my voice would drop to barely a whisper. Public speaking was my greatest fear. So when my English teacher recommended me for the school’s annual English speech contest in my second year of high school, I felt as if the ground had opened beneath my feet. The contest was a big deal — students from all grades would be watching, and the pressure felt unbearable. I seriously considered refusing, but my teacher saw my hesitation and sat down with me. “I’m not asking you to be the loudest speaker,” she said gently. “I’m asking you to share what you truly care about. Stop thinking about how you appear to others. Instead, focus completely on the message you want to deliver. If you believe in your words, the audience will feel it.” Those words struck me deeply. I decided to write about my grandmother’s struggle with losing her eyesight and how she taught me to “see” the world through patience and kindness. For weeks, I practiced alone in my room, then in the park in front of strangers. At first, my voice trembled and I stumbled over my lines. But gradually, as I fixed my mind on my grandmother’s story rather than my own anxiety, the words began to flow more naturally. On the day of the contest, standing backstage, I felt the familiar wave of panic. My legs felt weak and my heart was racing. But as I walked onto the stage and saw the crowd, I took a deep breath and reminded myself: This is not about me. This is about her story. I spoke for five minutes. When I finished, the hall erupted into applause — not because I had delivered a perfect performance, but because I had shared something real. I didn’t win the first prize, but I won something far greater: the courage to step beyond my comfort zone. That experience taught me that growth does not come from avoiding fear, but from moving through it with a purpose larger than oneself. 1．Why did the author want to refuse the contest? A．He had little experience in writing formal speeches. B．He cared too much about others’ judgement. C．He thought the contest was not worth his time. D．He had a poor relationship with his English teacher. 2．What was the teacher’s key advice to the author? A．To practice in front of as many strangers as possible. B．To write a speech about a family member. C．To prioritize the content over performance. D．To memorize the speech before the contest. 3．What can we know about the author? A．He calmed himself by focusing on the story. B．He performed perfectly on the day of contest. C．He won the first prize in the speech contest. D．He stumbled over because his leg felt weak. 4．What is the main lesson the author learns from the experience? A．Winning first prize is the only measure of success. B．True courage is found when we have no fear at all. C．Personal growth means facing fears with a purpose. D．Teachers’ recommendations should never be rejected. Passage 4 （25-26高二下·云南保山·期中）I grew up in a middle-class neighborhood. It’s not famous for producing success stories, or CEOs. My childhood was fairly free and uncared-for. My parents only cared about partying and themselves, which left me to figure out life on my own. Being fairly successful now and living in a much better neighborhood, I still think about the days of working to buy my own school lunch. Even though growing up privileged (享有特权的) would have been great, there are so many things I wouldn’t trade from growing up poor. You had to learn to survive on your own. Your neighborhood was rough and full of people looking to take advantage of you. These experiences have made you stronger. You observe your environment, keep up your guard at any time, and learn to trust your courage. A Harvard education is an amazing thing, but street smarts will give you something that you can never learn from books. When you have nothing, your dreams fill the emptiness. You desire success, money, power, happiness, etc. You grew up watching rich people on TV and wanting to be someone like them. These dreams lead to passion, goals, and achievements. Even if you never make millions, you fulfill your dreams by doing better than your parents did, and going further in your career. From a very young age, you had to learn to budget for gas, food, weekend money, and clothes. You had to work harder for everything in your life, so you appreciated it more and it has taught you that work ethic (职业道德) is usually not a natural, but a learned thing. It’s hard to teach. When the privileged ones quit for the day, you didn’t, because for you there was no fall back plan or safety net. At the end of the day, you’ll do what it takes to survive. 1．What do we know about the author’s parents? A．They lived a happy life. B．They were not responsible. C．They often held parties at home. D．They trained the author to be independent. 2．What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 2? A．He is disappointed with his present life. B．He envies those growing up privileged. C．He values his early experiences. D．He prefers a poor life. 3．What did the author get from his early life? A．The way to be rich. B．The tips on working hard. C．The dream to be successful. D．The skills to be a street leader. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Your Early Life Affects You a Lot B．It Takes Poor People More to Succeed C．You Should Be Grateful for What You Have D．Growing up Poor Takes You Further in Your Life Passage 5 （25-26高二下·湖北武汉·期末）I still remember the morning I set off for my first day back at university at 42. With a schoolbag on my back and a carefully packed lunch, I found myself wondering whether I would stand out for all the wrong reasons. Beneath the nervous excitement, however, was a deeper concern: Never will my guard be down for the future! Across the UK, this feeling is becoming commonplace. More and more adults are returning to education, in search of stable, meaningful or simply sustainable work. Rapid changes in technology, combined with economic uncertainty, have made many career paths less reliable than they once were. The game is not in the bag for many. After two decades spent working towards seniority in the creative industries, it was kind of discouraging to find myself applying for roles far below my experience and pay grade. Leadership jobs in media were thin on the ground, and after five years freelancing (自由职业), I struggled to get back in. So I parked my ego and sent my CV out for retail and admin roles — the sort of jobs I had last done in my early twenties. Gradually and clearly,  short-term fixes were not enough. Rather than continuing to chase shrinking opportunities, I decided to retrain in psychotherapy. This choice was not an escape, but a watershed: a practical step towards a profession that values human connection and long-term purpose. Looking back, returning to university has reshaped how I see both work and success. Studying again has restored a sense of direction that is not decided only by the market. It has taught me that starting over does not mean failure, but adjustment. 1．How did the author feel about his own state in the beginning? A．A sense of youthful anticipation. B．A feeling of profound insecurity. C．An eagerness for academic challenges. D．A desire for new knowledge. 2．Why did the author apply for retail and admin roles? A．To accept reality more humbly. B．To return to jobs of his youth. C．To regain lost professional dignity. D．To pursue a new personal interest. 3．What does the underlined word “watershed” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Turning point. B．Difficult choice. C．Temporary relief. D．Final goal. 4．What does the author’s experience show? A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．All roads lead to Rome. C．It is never too late to learn. D．You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Passage 6 （25-26高二下·广东广州·期末）If you think of personal time only as “not working,” you might be missing out on truly enriching experiences. While work requires discipline and training, free time should be easy and natural. We spend years preparing for our careers. 1 This belief suggests that while work demands discipline, free time is only for relaxation. 2 According to this famous philosopher, when we understand and practice leisure properly, we can reach our best selves. He believed that leisure is the foundation of culture. To achieve this, we must treat our free time with just as much seriousness as we do our careers. It is not just about “chilling out.” 3 When work becomes too hard, we often define leisure as complete inactivity. For instance, a tired businessman might want to sit on a beach and do nothing. 4 He believed that leisure is not just a break from work. He said the opposite of true leisure is actually mental laziness. For him, leisure means having an open mind and looking at the world with deep interest and care. True leisure is the work you do for yourself without the economic pressure to earn money. 5 Instead, it involves meaningful and deep experiences. These can be enjoying great art, learning new ideas, and staying close to nature. By choosing these meaningful activities, we can use our free time well and become wiser, more effective, and happier individuals. A．Josef Pieper rejected this way of thinking. B．However, Josef Pieper, had a very different idea. C．Yet there is no such thing as a “School of Leisure”. D．It is about doing nothing and killing time aimlessly. E．Most people hold a wrong understanding of what leisure is. F．Instead, it is a valuable part of life that helps us grow and gain wisdom. G．It does not include mindless activities like scrolling through social media. Passage 7 （25-26高二下·安徽六安·期末）At 99, Nita Draut shows it’s never too late to start something new. She picked up a pencil for the very first time at age 70, 1 out of curiosity. What was once a hobby has grown into a(n) 2 journey. Now her work is being shown at Fusion Art Gallery as she 3 100. Draut finds inspiration in the people around her. “When I see something that would 4 a good drawing, I just ask if I can draw it,” she said. That “ 5 ” is usually people — strangers in stores or everyday faces that catch her eye. For Draut, every person she draws is 6 to her. Amazingly, in all her years of doing so, she has never once been 7 . Over time, her drawings have become more than a 8 ; they show human connection, one drawing at a time. Staff at Ascend Healthcare noticed her 9 and helped bring her artwork to the public. Jason Fewin, a staff member, said, “She 10 anyone who thinks they are too old or it is too late to start. She 11 it is not.” Draut finds great joy in knowing her work 12 others. “It feels great to do something people like,” she said. She hopes her story will encourage others to try new things, no matter their 13 . From her first drawing at 70 to a 14 at 99, Nita Draut shows it is never too late to create something 15 and share it with the world. 1．A．desperately B．gradually C．simply D．cautiously 2．A．religious B．scientific C．artistic D．academical 3．A．nears B．abandons C．achieves D．passes 4．A．appreciate B．purchase C．deliver D．make 5．A．everything B．nothing C．anything D．something 6．A．significant B．special C．strange D．familiar 7．A．helped out B．turned down C．looked after D．responded to 8．A．hobby B．task C．dream D．business 9．A．talent B．occupation C．spirit D．contribution 10．A．supports B．inspires C．instructs D．ignores 11．A．suggests B．suspects C．proves D．remembers 12．A．touches B．changes C．comforts D．challenges 13．A．status B．wealth C．appearance D．age 14．A．stage B．hospital C．gallery D．library 15．A．accessible B．necessary C．humorous D．meaningful Passage 8 （25-26高二下·辽宁大连·期末）Growing up as a quiet teenager, I was always afraid to step out of my comfort zone. I feared being 1 by others and locked myself into a narrow world, where joy was limited and 2 was nowhere to be found. One autumn day, my teacher set us a group project and 3 me to be the group leader. Feeling 4 and anxious, I wanted to refuse, yet I didn’t have the courage to 5 my teacher’s arrangement. In the first group discussion, I hesitated constantly, not knowing how to organize my classmates or express my ideas 6 . To my surprise, my teammates never showed any 7 . Instead, they encouraged me patiently and shared their thoughts generously. I made up my mind to 8 my inner fear. I began to arrange tasks carefully and try to communicate with 9 . When our project was finally presented in front of the whole grade, I spoke fluently and performed far beyond my own anticipation. The 10 from the audience left me deeply touched. Looking back, I realize that fear is never an excuse to 11 challenges. Many of us limit ourselves merely because we overstate difficulties and 12 our own potential. When we dare to face uncertainty and take 13 steps forward, we grow. This experience didn’t change my personality overnight, but it 14 me profoundly. It taught me that life rewards those who dare to try, and true confidence comes not from being faultless, but from being willing to 15 and improve. 1．A．influenced B．followed C．judged D．discriminated 2．A．adventure B．wealth C．honor D．peace 3．A．forced B．appointed C．persuaded D．reminded 4．A．annoyed B．impatient C．unqualified D．disappointed 5．A．consider B．prevent C．question D．resist 6．A．eagerly B．rapidly C．clearly D．roughly 7．A．doubt B．interest C．kindness D．sympathy 8．A．hide B．overcome C．reject D．express 9．A．confidence B．elegance C．nervousness D．patience 10．A．silence B．glance C．applause D．greeting 11．A．withdraw B．avoid C．face D．bear 12．A．unlock B．overvalue C．misunderstand D．underestimate 13．A．slow B．brave C．safe D．heavy 14．A．comforted B．controlled C．refreshed D．impacted 15．A．prepare B．reflect C．wait D．attempt Passage 9 （25-26高二下·陕西商洛·期中）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The world we live in never 1 (fail) to fascinate those brave enough to step out of comfort zones. Nobody is born a winner; every great figure originates 2 humble beginnings, and many used to start from nothing more 3 a simple wish for change. We often hesitate before unknown challenges, and dare not fully commit ourselves to hard work. We may falsely estimate our ability, fail to properly respond to sudden failures, and even pretend 4 (be) calm when we are exposed to pressure from our inner weakness. Some also make efforts 5 (aim), just like a broken gearbox (变速箱) which loses its right direction. Yet as long as we devote 6 (us) to the chosen path, bravely attempt to do what is right, we can slowly leave an 7 (impress) on everyone around us, and finally bring our long-lost confidence and ambition back to life. It is widely believed 8 life is a long journey full of tests. While difficulties will come one after another, it is our attitude rather than our talent that decides how far we can go. Even if we come across setbacks, we should never back down. Only by 9 (push) ourselves constantly, facing all risks directly and holding on to our initial dream, can we turn small efforts into big achievements, rewrite our ordinary fate, and become 10 we want to be finally. Passage 10 （25-26高二下·贵州遵义·阶段检测）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The road 1 success is never smooth. Behind every achievement lies countless failures that most people never see. Take Thomas Edison, 2 is famous for inventing the light bulb. He made over 1,000 unsuccessful attempts before finally 3 (create) a working bulb. When asked about his failures, Edison replied, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” This mindset is what 4 (separate) successful people from others. Success is not measured by how many times you fall, 5 by how many times you get back up. J.K. Rowling, before publishing her first Harry Potter book, 6 (reject) by 12 publishers. She wrote in cafes while living on welfare, never giving up on her dream. Her persistence eventually paid off, making her one of the 7 (successful) authors in history. The challenges we face today become the strength we have tomorrow. If you want 8 (achieve) something meaningful, prepare to fail, but more importantly, prepare to persist. Success doesn’t happen overnight; it’s built day by day through small 9 (improve). Remember, every expert was once a beginner, and every success was once 10 failure. The only difference is that they refused to quit.

Apps rarely change behavior. You need the kind of fuel that’s born from pure jealousy or from the fire of anger. It’s a feeling that boils down to: That guy? Such emotion can provide lasting motivation. You do not need to express anger openly or confront anyone directly. Honestly, it’s probably better if you don’t tell anyone at all. Many successful people use this emotion as a source of motivation and have made remarkable achievements. Michael Jordan provides a famous example. Here’s a list of things he was offended by: A rival coach not saying hi to him while out to dinner; A rival saying, “You are, lucky, Mike.” These minor slights fueled his determination and pushed him to do better on the basketball court. Creating an enemy and looking for signs of disrespect from opponents help him achieve great things. Research supports this. A study from the Wharton School shows that underdogs often perform better because they want to prove others wrong. It feels satisfying to prove wrong the people who doubt you. In this sense, such feelings can become powerful forces behind achievement. A nemesis does not need to be a famous people or a direct competitor. It can be anyone whose achievements you secretly envy, whose hard work or talents push you to do better, or whose actions challenge you to step up your own game. The key is to turn this emotion into action: you transform feelings of envy into productive energy and push yourself toward greater accomplishments. Even partners, friends or colleagues can sometimes temporarily serve as motivators in certain situations. Ultimately, the power of a nemesis lies in using emotion strategically. People often fear they can’t succeed — so they hesitate to try… until they get mad enough. This emotion — whether real or imagined — can carry you further and help individuals achieve more than they thought possible, especially when training and talent reach their limits. 【译文欣赏】 想要在人生中真正取得成功，你有没有考虑过给自己树立一个假想敌？我十分推荐这样做。意志力总会消退，各类应用程序也很难真正改变人的行为。你需要一种源自纯粹的嫉妒或是怒火的动力。这种情绪可以归结为一句话：凭什么是他？这类情绪能够提供持久的动力。 你无需当众宣泄怒火，也不必直接与任何人对峙。说实话，最好不要告诉任何人。许多成功者都会利用这种情绪作为动力，最终取得非凡成就。迈克尔・乔丹就是一个知名例子。有很多小事都曾让他心生芥蒂：外出就餐时，对手球队的教练没有和他打招呼；一名对手说：“迈克，你只是运气好。” 这些微不足道的怠慢点燃了他的斗志，促使他在篮球场上表现得更加出色。给自己树立对手，主动捕捉对手流露出来的轻视，助力他收获了巨大成就。 相关研究也佐证了这一点。沃顿商学院的一项研究表明，处于劣势的人往往表现更好，因为他们想要证明别人的看法是错的。向质疑你的人证明他们看错了你，这种感受令人充满成就感。从这个角度来说，这类情绪能够成为取得成就背后强大的助推力量。 假想敌不必是名人，也不用是直接的竞争对手。任何人都可以成为假想敌：你暗自羡慕其成就的人、凭借努力与天赋激励你变得更优秀的人、或是其行为促使你提升自我的人。关键在于将情绪转化为行动：把嫉妒转化为富有成效的能量，推动自己去取得更大的成就。即便是伙伴、朋友或是同事，在某些情况下也可以临时充当激励自己的对象。 归根结底，假想敌的力量在于有策略地运用情绪。人们常常害怕自己无法成功，于是犹豫不决、不敢尝试…… 直到怒火燃起。这种情绪，无论真实存在还是凭空设想，都能推动你走得更远，帮助人们达成原本不敢想象的目标，尤其是当训练与天赋已经抵达瓶颈之时。 【词汇积累】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ ( 1 / 29 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1. nemesis /ˈneməsɪs/n. 对手，假想敌；劲敌 2. willpower /ˈwɪlpaʊə(r)/n. 意志力 3. fade /feɪd/v. 逐渐减弱，消退 4. jealousy /ˈdʒeləsi/n. 嫉妒，羡慕 5. lasting /ˈlɑːstɪŋ/adj. 持久的，长久的 6. confront /kənˈfrʌnt/v. 对峙，直面 7. remarkable /rɪˈmɑːkəbl/adj. 非凡的，显著的 8. slight /slaɪt/n. 怠慢，轻视；冒犯 9. fuel /ˈfjuːəl/v. 激起，刺激；给…… 提供动力 10. underdog /ˈʌndədɒɡ/n. 处于劣势的人，弱者 11. envy /ˈenvi/n.&v. 羡慕，嫉妒 12. productive /prəˈdʌktɪv/adj. 富有成效的 13. accomplishment /əˈkʌmplɪʃmənt/n. 成就，业绩 14. strategically /strəˈtiːdʒɪkli/adv. 策略性地 15. talent /ˈtælənt/n. 天赋，才能 【高考真题链接】 （2026·北京·高考真题）The 21st century has created a whole range of new types of professionals that we have never had before — or if not quite new, at least newly repackaged. The world has always had influential people, for instance, but only now do we have “Influencer”. Similarly, the corporate world has certainly known its fair share of disruption, yet it is only in the last couple of decades that the “Disruptor” has become a recognisable figure in the way we talk about big business. In an earlier era, the Disruptor would have been called an Innovator. Yet while an Innovator creates something new, the Disruptor is defined as much by what they destroy as by what they create. The Disruptor forces change; the clean-up is somebody else’s problem. It’s an attitude best summed up as “Move fast and break things.” Back in 1929, G. K. Chesterton identified the core problem with moving fast and breaking things through a thought experiment. Imagine there is a fence along a road. Suppose it’s been there a long time, and was put there for some purpose. But that purpose is lost over time. To us, now, the fence seems to be nothing but an impediment. Why not remove it? When faced with such a fence, Chesterton thinks the fact that we can’t see the point of the fence is why we should not tear it down. Some fences keep foxes out of henhouses, for instance. If you think you can do without the fence because you’ve never seen a fox, consider if the existence of the fence is precisely why you’ve never seen one. Importantly, Chesterton is not saying that things can never be reformed. His is a preventive principle rather than an outright prohibition. We could rephrase it like this: understand the wisdom in past decisions before you reject them. If we’re too impetuous, we can end up tearing out things we don’t yet realise we rely upon. But uncritical devotion to the “way things are done” can also deny us the possibility of better days. What is required, then, is not the fearlessness of the Disruptor, but the humility (谦卑) to stop and ask questions and to know that our own perspective is neither unique nor comprehensive. Disruption can be a force for good. It can also just leave a big mess. We need the ability to work out which messes are worth avoiding — because however impressively fast you move, some things can’t be easily unbroken. 1．Regarding Chesterton’s principle, the author is _____________. A．supportive B．doubtful C．conflicted D．disappointed 2．What does the word “impetuous” underlined in Paragraph 5 most probably mean? A．Short-sighted. B．Narrow-minded. C．Hot-headed. D．Old-fashioned. 3．What can we infer from this passage about the Disruptor? A．They may clear up other people’s mess. B．They are in favour of the preventive principle. C．They preserve more traditions than they break. D．They may create more problems than they solve. 4．What does the author intend to tell us? A．Humility should be a driving force for human progress. B．Innovation should move forward the wheel of tradition. C．Reform should draw from the wellspring of past wisdom. D．Disruption should be given priority in social development. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】文章介绍了商业领域“颠覆者”这一新角色，借助Chesterton的栅栏思想实验，论述盲目颠覆的弊端，提出变革前应当先理解过往经验蕴含的智慧，倡导以谦卑心态理性创新。 1．推理判断题。根据第五段“Importantly, Chesterton is not saying that things can never be reformed. His is a preventive principle rather than an outright prohibition.(重要的是，Chesterton并不是说事物永远不能改革。他提出的是一种预防性原则，而非彻底禁止变革。)”以及第六段“What is required, then, is not the fearlessness of the Disruptor, but the humility (谦卑) to stop and ask questions and to know that our own perspective is neither unique nor comprehensive.(因此，我们需要的不是颠覆者的无所畏惧，而是停下来思考发问的谦卑之心，明白我们自身的看法既非独一无二，也并非面面俱到。)”可知，作者赞同Chesterton提出的原则。 2．词句猜测题。根据第五段“If we’re too impetuous, we can end up tearing out things we don’t yet realise we rely upon.(如果我们太过impetuous，最终可能毁掉那些我们尚且没有意识到、却十分依赖的事物。)”可知，如果行事过于冲动草率，我们会毁掉那些自己尚未意识到、却十分依赖的事物，划线词“impetuous”表示“冲动的，鲁莽的”，与C选项“Hot-headed(冲动莽撞的)”含义一致。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段“The Disruptor forces change; the clean-up is somebody else’s problem.(颠覆者强行推动变革，收拾残局却是别人的事。)”以及第六段“Disruption can be a force for good. It can also just leave a big mess.(颠覆或许能产生积极作用，但也可能只留下一堆烂摊子。)”可知，颠覆者只管打破现状，后续烂摊子交由别人处理，很可能制造出比解决掉的更多问题。 4．推理判断题。根据第五段“We could rephrase it like this: understand the wisdom in past decisions before you reject them.(我们可以这样概括：在否定过往决策之前，先领会其中蕴含的智慧。)”可知，全文核心观点是进行改革前，先要挖掘、借鉴过去决策中的智慧。 ( 长难句 1 原句：Yet while an Innovator creates something new, the Disruptor is defined as much by what they destroy as by what they create. 1. 句子结构：while 引导让步状语从句；主句核心结构 as much...as...（同等程度…… 既…… 也……） 2. 成分划分： 让步从句：while an Innovator creates something new 然而创新者创造全新事物 主句主干：the Disruptor is defined 方式状语 1：as much by what they destroy 凭借其摧毁的事物 方式状语 2：as by what they create 凭借其创造的事物 3. 翻译：创新者是创造新事物，但颠覆者的定义，既在于他们创造的东西，也同等在于他们摧毁的东西。 长难句 2 原句：What is required, then, is not the fearlessness of the Disruptor, but the humility (谦卑) to stop and ask questions and to know that our own perspective is neither unique nor comprehensive. 1. 句子结构：What 引导主语从句；主干 not...but... 不是…… 而是……；两个 to do 不定式作后置定语；that 引导宾语从句 2. 成分划分： 主语从句：What is required 我们真正需要的事物 表语 1：not the fearlessness of the Disruptor 并非颠覆者的无所畏惧 表语 2：but the humility 而是一份谦卑 后置定语：to stop and ask questions and to know... 停下来发问、认清…… 的谦卑 宾语从句：our own perspective is neither unique nor comprehensive 我们自身的视角既不独特，也不够全面 3. 翻译：因此，我们真正需要的并非颠覆者那种无所畏惧，而是拥有一份谦卑：愿意停下脚步提出疑问，并明白自身的视角既不独特也不够完整。 ) ( 1. professional /prəˈfeʃənl/n. 专业从业者 2. influential /ˌɪnfluˈenʃl/adj. 有影响力的 3. corporate /ˈkɔːpərət/adj. 企业的，公司的 4. disruption /dɪsˈrʌpʃn/n. 颠覆，扰乱 5. innovator /ˈɪnəveɪtə(r)/n. 创新者 6. impediment /ɪmˈpedɪmənt/n. 障碍，阻碍物 7. tear down 拆除，推倒 8. reform /rɪˈfɔːm/v. & n. 改革，改良 9. prohibition /ˌprəʊɪˈbɪʃn/n. 禁止，禁令 10. impetuous /ɪmˈpetjuəs/adj. 冲动的，鲁莽的 11. uncritical /ʌnˈkrɪtɪkl/adj. 不加评判的，盲从的 12. humility /hjuːˈmɪləti/n. 谦卑，谦逊 13. perspective /pəˈspektɪv/n. 视角，观点 14. comprehensive /ˌkɒmprɪˈhensɪv/adj. 全面的，完整的 15. mess /mes/n. 混乱，烂摊子 ) 【综合实战演练】 语篇 题型 体裁 内容简介 Passage1 阅读理解 议论文 作者结合少年时期艰难获取音乐磁带的亲身经历，论述便捷科技虽带来便利，但有效的付出才能赋予事物价值；我们应当区分无意义琐事与促进成长的必要磨炼。 Passage2 阅读理解 记叙文 作者回忆少年时向祖父抱怨生活不公，祖父引导他亲手制作木鸟，从中领悟道理：生活不会凭空赐予想要的东西，收获源于自身努力，不能坐等好运降临。 Passage3 阅读理解 记叙文 内向畏惧公开演讲的作者，在老师鼓励下参加校园英语演讲比赛；他专注讲述祖母的故事，克服内心紧张完成演讲，懂得成长不是逃避恐惧，而是怀揣目标直面恐惧。 Passage4 阅读理解 议论文 作者回忆缺少父母照料、家境清贫的童年，坦言十分珍视这段经历；艰难的成长环境塑造了独立生存能力、追梦热情与敬业品质，推动自己不断向前、收获成功。 Passage5 阅读理解 记叙文 讲述作者 42 岁求职遇挫，放下身段接受普通岗位，最终选择重返大学进修心理治疗专业；这段经历让他意识到重新开始不等于失败，学习永远为时不晚。 Passage6 阅读理解七选五 议论文 介绍哲学家约瑟夫・皮珀的观点，纠正大众将休闲等同于无所事事、单纯放松的误区，阐释真正的休闲是富有意义、促进个人智慧成长的精神活动。 Passage7 完形填空 记叙文 99 岁的妮塔 70 岁出于好奇开始绘画，多年坚持创作，作品成功登上画廊展出；她用自身经历激励所有人，无论年龄多大，开启新的热爱永远不会太迟。 Passage8 完形填空 记叙文 内向、害怕被他人评判的作者被任命小组组长，在队友鼓励下战胜内心胆怯，顺利完成项目展示；这段经历让他明白恐惧不能成为逃避挑战的理由，敢于尝试方能成长。 Passage9 语法填空 议论文 文章论述没有人天生就是成功者，走出舒适区、坚定奔赴目标至关重要；告诫人们避免盲目努力，坚守初心持续奋斗，终能改写平凡人生，成为理想中的自己。 Passage10 语法填空 议论文 以爱迪生、J.K. 罗琳为例论证观点：成功离不开一次次失败与坚持不懈；衡量成功的标准不是从不跌倒，而是跌倒后拥有重新站起来的勇气。 Passage 1 （25-26高二下·河北承德·期末）I’ve loved Simon and Garfunkel since I was a teen. Growing up in Bangladesh, getting their music wasn’t easy. I had to borrow a cassette (磁带), befriend a shop owner, or wait for a friend returning from abroad. Once I had a tape, I played it repeatedly — it was all I had. Today, finding music is simple. I just ask Siri, and it plays. This applies to more than music: recipes, cooking skills, even dating. We can “meet” partners by looking through apps on our phones, no need to leave home. This is progress, but we should be careful. Sometimes, paying a price for things matters. Effort isn’t just a cost — it helps us. First, effort makes data functional. It turns information into personal knowledge. Without effort, it’s impossible to grow skills. That’s why watching 20 YouTube videos about mathematics won’t help you learn math by itself. And it’s why Duolingo is really a video game rather than a serious effort to teach languages. Second, effort makes things meaningful. My hard work to get that cassette made the songs special — if I’d found them on the Internet, they wouldn’t have mattered as much. A 2025 Harvard-MIT study found that students using AI to write essays learned less, were less creative, and understood the material worse than those who worked through it themselves. But we shouldn’t praise effort for no reason. Some effort is just busywork — unnecessary tasks that don’t help. The key is to tell the difference: some difficulties are just annoying (like typing or formatting), but others are part of the activity. Writing in your own words helps you find your thoughts; solving a math problem teaches you to see patterns; cooking without a recipe builds instinct (本能). These struggles aren’t barriers — they’re how you grow, gain skills, and find meaning. Convenience is a gift, but we mustn’t let it take away the struggles that shape us. The question isn’t “How can I make this easier?” but “What kind of difficulty is this? Does it delay me, or does it develop me?” We should keep the right struggles, not all of them. 1．What do we know about the author’s teenage music experience? A．He had to make great efforts to get music. B．He got music from his friends abroad for free. C．He could listen to music anytime he wanted. D．He bought music cassettes from local shops easily. 2．Why did the author mention Duolingo in paragraph 3? A．To compare it with mathematics learning videos. B．To praise its design and recommend it to readers. C．To suggest language learning should be interesting. D．To illustrate how effortless tools fail to build real skills. 3．What can we infer from the 2025 Harvard-MIT study? A．Creative thinking can be developed by using AI tools. B．AI is helpful for students to improve their writing skills. C．Students who use AI to write essays learn more effectively. D．Making efforts in learning is more beneficial than relying on AI. 4．What measure does the author consider necessary and valuable based on paragraph 5? A．Formatting a document before sending an email. B．Solving a math problem step by step. C．Searching for a file in computer folders. D．Typing a long report instead of speaking it aloud. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．B 【导语】作者结合自身经历论述便捷工具虽好，但付出有效努力才能收获知识与事物的价值。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I’ve loved Simon and Garfunkel since I was a teen. Growing up in Bangladesh, getting their music wasn’t easy. I had to borrow a cassette (磁带), befriend a shop owner, or wait for a friend returning from abroad.(我从青少年时期就喜爱西蒙与加芬克尔。我在孟加拉国长大，获取他们的音乐并不容易。我不得不借磁带、和店主交好，或是等候从国外回来的朋友)”可知，作者年轻时要花费很大功夫才能获取音乐。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Without effort, it’s impossible to grow skills. That’s why watching 20 YouTube videos about mathematics won’t help you learn math by itself. And it’s why Duolingo is really a video game rather than a serious effort to teach languages.(没有付出努力，就不可能提升技能。这就是观看二十个油管数学视频本身无法帮你学好数学的原因。这也是多邻国实质上只是电子游戏，而非一门正经投入精力的语言教学方式的原因)”可知，作者举多邻国的例子是为说明无需费力的工具无法培养真正技能。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“A 2025 Harvard-MIT study found that students using AI to write essays learned less, were less creative, and understood the material worse than those who worked through it themselves.(一项2025年哈佛麻省理工联合研究发现，使用人工智能写作文的学生学得更少、创造力更低，对材料的理解也不如独立完成写作的学生)” 知，自主付出努力学习比依赖人工智能更有益。 4．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The key is to tell the difference: some difficulties are just annoying (like typing or formatting), but others are part of the activity. Writing in your own words helps you find your thoughts; solving a math problem teaches you to see patterns; cooking without a recipe builds instinct (本能).(关键是区分二者：有些困难只是恼人的琐事（例如打字或排版），但另一些是活动本身的一部分。用自己的话写作帮你理清思路；解数学题教会你发现规律；不依靠菜谱做饭培养直觉)”可知，一步步解数学题是作者认为必要且有价值的。 Passage 2 （25-26高二下·黑龙江佳木斯·期末）We are enrolled in a full-time school called “life”. Every day in this school, we have opportunities to learn new lessons. Some lessons are pleasant, while others are painful. But all of them are valuable if we are willing to receive them. I remember a lesson I learned from my grandfather. He was a man of few words, but his actions spoke volumes. When I was a teenager, I complained to him about how unfair life seemed. My friends had newer bikes, nicer clothes, and more pocket money. I felt sorry for myself. Instead of offering comfort, my grandfather took me to his workshop. He handed me a piece of wood and some tools. “Make something,” he said. “Anything you like.” I spent the afternoon struggling with the wood. My first attempt was ugly and uneven. My second was slightly better. By the end of the day, I had made a small wooden bird. It was far from perfect, but I felt proud. “Now,” my grandfather said, holding up my creation, “this bird didn’t come from nowhere. It came from your effort, your patience, and your willingness to try. That’s how life works. You don’t get what you wish for — you get what you work for.” That lesson stayed with me. Whenever I face difficulties, I remind myself that life is not about waiting for good things to happen. It is about rolling up your sleeves and making them happen. 1．According to the author, what kind of school is life? A．A place where lessons are always enjoyable. B．A place where we can learn valuable lessons. C．A school that only teaches practical skills. D．A school that focuses on academic subjects. 2．Why did the author complain to his grandfather? A．He did not like his grandfather’s workshop. B．He felt that life was treating him unfairly. C．He wanted a new bike for his birthday. D．He was bored with his school studies. 3．What did the author learn from making the wooden bird? A．Woodworking is a useful skill to master. B．Patience is more important than effort. C．Achievements come from hard work. D．Perfection is impossible to achieve. 4．What does the phrase “rolling up your sleeves” in the last paragraph most likely mean? A．Preparing to work hard. B．Giving up on a task. C．Waiting for help from others. D．Avoiding difficult situations. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】文章讲述了作者通过祖父教他做木工的经历，学到了一个宝贵的人生道理：生活中的收获不是凭空得来的，而是通过自己的努力和耐心争取来的。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Every day in this school, we have opportunities to learn new lessons. Some lessons are pleasant, while others are painful. But all of them are valuable if we are willing to receive them.(在这所学校里，我们每天都有机会学习新的课程。有些课程令人愉快，而有些则令人痛苦。但如果我们愿意接受，它们都是有价值的。)”可知，生活是一个能让我们学到宝贵经验的地方。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When I was a teenager, I complained to him about how unfair life seemed. My friends had newer bikes, nicer clothes, and more pocket money. I felt sorry for myself.(当我十几岁的时候，我曾向他抱怨生活看起来是多么不公平。我的朋友们有更新的自行车、更漂亮的衣服和更多的零花钱。我为自己感到难过。)”可知，作者向祖父抱怨是因为他觉得生活对他不公平。 3．细节理解题。根据第五段祖父所说的话“this bird didn’t come from nowhere. It came from your effort, your patience, and your willingness to try. That’s how life works. You don’t get what you wish for — you get what you work for.(这只鸟不是凭空出现的。它来自你的努力、你的耐心和尝试的意愿。生活就是这样运作的。你不会得到你所希望的——你得到的是你所为之努力的。)”可知，作者从制作木鸟中学到的道理是：成就是通过努力工作得来的。 4．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Whenever I face difficulties, I remind myself that life is not about waiting for good things to happen. It is about rolling up your sleeves and making them happen.(每当我遇到困难时，我都会提醒自己，生活不是等待好事发生。而是rolling up your sleeves让它们发生。)”可知，划线短语前文提到不要“等待”好事发生，因此后文应是强调要主动去“努力”让事情发生。由此可推断，“rolling up your sleeves”的意思是“准备努力工作”。 Passage 3 （25-26高二下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期末）I have always been the quiet type. In class, I would shrink into my seat whenever the teacher looked around for someone to answer a question. My face would flush, my palms would sweat, and my voice would drop to barely a whisper. Public speaking was my greatest fear. So when my English teacher recommended me for the school’s annual English speech contest in my second year of high school, I felt as if the ground had opened beneath my feet. The contest was a big deal — students from all grades would be watching, and the pressure felt unbearable. I seriously considered refusing, but my teacher saw my hesitation and sat down with me. “I’m not asking you to be the loudest speaker,” she said gently. “I’m asking you to share what you truly care about. Stop thinking about how you appear to others. Instead, focus completely on the message you want to deliver. If you believe in your words, the audience will feel it.” Those words struck me deeply. I decided to write about my grandmother’s struggle with losing her eyesight and how she taught me to “see” the world through patience and kindness. For weeks, I practiced alone in my room, then in the park in front of strangers. At first, my voice trembled and I stumbled over my lines. But gradually, as I fixed my mind on my grandmother’s story rather than my own anxiety, the words began to flow more naturally. On the day of the contest, standing backstage, I felt the familiar wave of panic. My legs felt weak and my heart was racing. But as I walked onto the stage and saw the crowd, I took a deep breath and reminded myself: This is not about me. This is about her story. I spoke for five minutes. When I finished, the hall erupted into applause — not because I had delivered a perfect performance, but because I had shared something real. I didn’t win the first prize, but I won something far greater: the courage to step beyond my comfort zone. That experience taught me that growth does not come from avoiding fear, but from moving through it with a purpose larger than oneself. 1．Why did the author want to refuse the contest? A．He had little experience in writing formal speeches. B．He cared too much about others’ judgement. C．He thought the contest was not worth his time. D．He had a poor relationship with his English teacher. 2．What was the teacher’s key advice to the author? A．To practice in front of as many strangers as possible. B．To write a speech about a family member. C．To prioritize the content over performance. D．To memorize the speech before the contest. 3．What can we know about the author? A．He calmed himself by focusing on the story. B．He performed perfectly on the day of contest. C．He won the first prize in the speech contest. D．He stumbled over because his leg felt weak. 4．What is the main lesson the author learns from the experience? A．Winning first prize is the only measure of success. B．True courage is found when we have no fear at all. C．Personal growth means facing fears with a purpose. D．Teachers’ recommendations should never be rejected. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者克服公开演讲的恐惧，通过分享祖母的故事在比赛中获得勇气与成长的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Public speaking was my greatest fear.(公开演讲是我最大的恐惧)”和第二段中“The contest was a big deal — students from all grades would be watching, and the pressure felt unbearable.(比赛是件大事——各年级的学生都会观看，压力难以忍受)”可知，作者想拒绝比赛是因为他太在意他人的看法。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Stop thinking about how you appear to others. Instead, focus completely on the message you want to deliver.(别去想你在别人眼里是什么样子。相反，完全专注于你想传达的信息)”可知，老师的关键建议是把内容置于表现之上。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“But gradually, as I fixed my mind on my grandmother’s story rather than my own anxiety, the words began to flow more naturally.(但渐渐地，当我把心思集中在祖母的故事上，而非自身的焦虑时，话语便开始更加自然地流淌出来)”和倒数第二段中“But as I walked onto the stage and saw the crowd, I took a deep breath and reminded myself: This is not about me. This is about her story.(但当我走上舞台，看到台下的观众时，我深吸了一口气，提醒自己：“这与我无关，这是关于她的故事)”可知，作者通过专注于故事让自己平静下来。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That experience taught me that growth does not come from avoiding fear, but from moving through it with a purpose larger than oneself.(那次经历教会我，成长并非源于逃避恐惧，而是带着超越自我的目标去直面它)”可知，作者学到的主要教训是个人成长意味着带着目标去面对恐惧。 Passage 4 （25-26高二下·云南保山·期中）I grew up in a middle-class neighborhood. It’s not famous for producing success stories, or CEOs. My childhood was fairly free and uncared-for. My parents only cared about partying and themselves, which left me to figure out life on my own. Being fairly successful now and living in a much better neighborhood, I still think about the days of working to buy my own school lunch. Even though growing up privileged (享有特权的) would have been great, there are so many things I wouldn’t trade from growing up poor. You had to learn to survive on your own. Your neighborhood was rough and full of people looking to take advantage of you. These experiences have made you stronger. You observe your environment, keep up your guard at any time, and learn to trust your courage. A Harvard education is an amazing thing, but street smarts will give you something that you can never learn from books. When you have nothing, your dreams fill the emptiness. You desire success, money, power, happiness, etc. You grew up watching rich people on TV and wanting to be someone like them. These dreams lead to passion, goals, and achievements. Even if you never make millions, you fulfill your dreams by doing better than your parents did, and going further in your career. From a very young age, you had to learn to budget for gas, food, weekend money, and clothes. You had to work harder for everything in your life, so you appreciated it more and it has taught you that work ethic (职业道德) is usually not a natural, but a learned thing. It’s hard to teach. When the privileged ones quit for the day, you didn’t, because for you there was no fall back plan or safety net. At the end of the day, you’ll do what it takes to survive. 1．What do we know about the author’s parents? A．They lived a happy life. B．They were not responsible. C．They often held parties at home. D．They trained the author to be independent. 2．What can we infer about the author from Paragraph 2? A．He is disappointed with his present life. B．He envies those growing up privileged. C．He values his early experiences. D．He prefers a poor life. 3．What did the author get from his early life? A．The way to be rich. B．The tips on working hard. C．The dream to be successful. D．The skills to be a street leader. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Your Early Life Affects You a Lot B．It Takes Poor People More to Succeed C．You Should Be Grateful for What You Have D．Growing up Poor Takes You Further in Your Life 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．D 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者童年家境普通、父母疏于照料，虽早年清贫却十分珍视这段经历。困苦生活赋予他生存智慧、追梦动力与坚韧的职业操守，助力他如今取得成功。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“My childhood was fairly free and uncared-for. My parents only cared about partying and themselves, which left me to figure out life on my own.( 我的童年相当自由，也缺乏关爱。父母只关心聚会和自己，这让我不得不独自弄清楚生活。)”可知，作者的父母只在意玩乐和自身，放任孩子独自摸索生活，本质是对家庭、对孩子缺乏责任感。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“Being fairly successful now and living in a much better neighborhood, I still think about the days of working to buy my own school lunch. Even though growing up privileged (享有特权的) would have been great, there are so many things I wouldn’t trade from growing up poor.( 如今我已相当成功，并生活在条件更好的社区里，但我仍会想起当年为买学校午餐而努力奋斗的日子。虽然出身优越本该是件美好的事，但那些贫困成长的岁月里有许多东西，是我不会愿意交换的。)”可知，从第二段可以推断出作者珍视自己的早期经历。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“When you have nothing, your dreams fill the emptiness. You desire success, money, power, happiness, etc. You grew up watching rich people on TV and wanting to be someone like them. These dreams lead to passion, goals, and achievements.(当你一无所有时，梦想便填满了空虚。你渴望成功、金钱、权力、幸福等等。你从小在电视上看到富人生活，向往成为像他们那样的人。这些梦想催生了热情、目标与成就。)”可知，作者早年一无所有的处境，反而让梦想填补了生活的空缺，催生了对成功的渴望，这份对成功的向往是贫困经历带给作者的重要收获。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者童年家境普通、父母疏于照料，虽早年清贫却十分珍视这段经历。困苦生活赋予他生存智慧、追梦动力与坚韧的职业操守，助力他如今取得成功。由此可知，这篇文章适合的标题是“贫困成长让你的人生更进一步”。 Passage 5 （25-26高二下·湖北武汉·期末）I still remember the morning I set off for my first day back at university at 42. With a schoolbag on my back and a carefully packed lunch, I found myself wondering whether I would stand out for all the wrong reasons. Beneath the nervous excitement, however, was a deeper concern: Never will my guard be down for the future! Across the UK, this feeling is becoming commonplace. More and more adults are returning to education, in search of stable, meaningful or simply sustainable work. Rapid changes in technology, combined with economic uncertainty, have made many career paths less reliable than they once were. The game is not in the bag for many. After two decades spent working towards seniority in the creative industries, it was kind of discouraging to find myself applying for roles far below my experience and pay grade. Leadership jobs in media were thin on the ground, and after five years freelancing (自由职业), I struggled to get back in. So I parked my ego and sent my CV out for retail and admin roles — the sort of jobs I had last done in my early twenties. Gradually and clearly,  short-term fixes were not enough. Rather than continuing to chase shrinking opportunities, I decided to retrain in psychotherapy. This choice was not an escape, but a watershed: a practical step towards a profession that values human connection and long-term purpose. Looking back, returning to university has reshaped how I see both work and success. Studying again has restored a sense of direction that is not decided only by the market. It has taught me that starting over does not mean failure, but adjustment. 1．How did the author feel about his own state in the beginning? A．A sense of youthful anticipation. B．A feeling of profound insecurity. C．An eagerness for academic challenges. D．A desire for new knowledge. 2．Why did the author apply for retail and admin roles? A．To accept reality more humbly. B．To return to jobs of his youth. C．To regain lost professional dignity. D．To pursue a new personal interest. 3．What does the underlined word “watershed” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Turning point. B．Difficult choice. C．Temporary relief. D．Final goal. 4．What does the author’s experience show? A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．All roads lead to Rome. C．It is never too late to learn. D．You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文讲述了作者42岁中年求职碰壁后，放下身段重返大学接受再培训，开启新职业道路的个人经历，分享了作者对工作与成功的感悟。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“With a schoolbag on my back and a carefully packed lunch, I found myself wondering whether I would stand out for all the wrong reasons. Beneath the nervous excitement, however, was a deeper concern: Never will my guard be down for the future!(背着书包，带着精心准备的午餐，我不禁开始担心自己是否会因为一些不恰当的原因而显得与众不同。然而，在紧张兴奋的背后，还隐藏着更深层的忧虑：我今后绝不会再放松警惕！)” 可知，作者有些担心，紧张兴奋的背后隐藏着更深层的忧虑，因此，作者刚开始内心存在深深的不安。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Leadership jobs in media were thin on the ground, and after five years freelancing, I struggled to get back in. So I parked my ego and sent my CV out for retail and admin roles…(媒体领域的领导岗位十分稀缺，而经过五年自由职业的经历后，我很难重新进入这一领域。于是，我放下自尊，投递了简历，申请零售和行政类职位……)”可知，作者认清现实，自己很难重新进入想从事的职业，于是放下骄傲、谦卑接受现实而申请零售和行政岗位。 3．词义猜测题。根据前文语境“Rather than continuing to chase shrinking opportunities, I decided to retrain in psychotherapy. This choice was not an escape…(与其继续追逐日益缩减的就业机会，我决定重新进修，学习心理治疗相关专业。这个选择并非逃避现实……)”并结合后文“a practical step towards a profession that values human connection and long-term purpose(迈向一个重视人际关系与长远目标的职业的切实一步)”可知，“决定重新进修，新学习心理治疗专业”在作者看来，这个选择改变了作者此前的发展方向，是人生的转折点，因此可推知“watershed”意为“转折点”。 4．推理判断题。作者在末尾段讲述了“重返大学”经历的感悟，因此，结合末尾段内容“Looking back, returning to university has reshaped how I see both work and success. Studying again has restored a sense of direction that is not decided only by the market. It has taught me that starting over does not mean failure, but adjustment.(回首往事，重返大学彻底改变了我看待工作与成功的方式。再次求学让我重新找到了人生方向，这份方向不再单纯由市场行情左右。这段经历让我明白，重新出发并非失败，而是一次自我调整。)”可知，作者表达了即便年纪偏大，依然可以重返校园、学习新专业、重启人生，由此推知，可推知作者的经历说明了“学习永远不晚”的道理。 Passage 6 （25-26高二下·广东广州·期末）If you think of personal time only as “not working,” you might be missing out on truly enriching experiences. While work requires discipline and training, free time should be easy and natural. We spend years preparing for our careers. 1 This belief suggests that while work demands discipline, free time is only for relaxation. 2 According to this famous philosopher, when we understand and practice leisure properly, we can reach our best selves. He believed that leisure is the foundation of culture. To achieve this, we must treat our free time with just as much seriousness as we do our careers. It is not just about “chilling out.” 3 When work becomes too hard, we often define leisure as complete inactivity. For instance, a tired businessman might want to sit on a beach and do nothing. 4 He believed that leisure is not just a break from work. He said the opposite of true leisure is actually mental laziness. For him, leisure means having an open mind and looking at the world with deep interest and care. True leisure is the work you do for yourself without the economic pressure to earn money. 5 Instead, it involves meaningful and deep experiences. These can be enjoying great art, learning new ideas, and staying close to nature. By choosing these meaningful activities, we can use our free time well and become wiser, more effective, and happier individuals. A．Josef Pieper rejected this way of thinking. B．However, Josef Pieper, had a very different idea. C．Yet there is no such thing as a “School of Leisure”. D．It is about doing nothing and killing time aimlessly. E．Most people hold a wrong understanding of what leisure is. F．Instead, it is a valuable part of life that helps us grow and gain wisdom. G．It does not include mindless activities like scrolling through social media. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．F 4．A 5．G 【导语】文章探讨了人们对休闲时间的误解，介绍了哲学家约瑟夫·皮珀关于真正休闲的理念，强调休闲不是无所事事，而是一种有意义的、能促进个人成长和智慧的活动。 1．上文“We spend years preparing for our careers. (我们花数年时间为职业做准备。)”说明人们为工作投入大量准备，下文“This belief suggests that while work demands discipline, free time is only for relaxation. (这种信念表明，虽然工作需要纪律，但空闲时间只是用来放松的。)”说明人们对休闲时间的简单理解。C项“Yet there is no such thing as a ‘School of Leisure’. (然而，并不存在所谓的‘休闲学校’。)”承上启下，既回应上文人们为工作做准备却不为休闲做准备的事实，又引出下文人们将休闲简单等同于放松的错误观念。 2．上文提出人们认为休闲只是放松的观点，下文“According to this famous philosopher, when we understand and practice leisure properly, we can reach our best selves. (据这位著名哲学家所说，当我们正确理解并践行休闲的内涵时，我们就能成为最好的自己。)”介绍一位哲学家的不同观点。B项“However, Josef Pieper, had a very different idea. (然而，约瑟夫·皮珀有一个非常不同的想法。)”用However转折引出新观点，且“this famous philosopher”与下文的“According to this famous philosopher”形成指代呼应。 3．上文“It is not just about 'chilling out'. (这不仅仅是‘放松’。)”说明休闲不只是放松，空格处应进一步说明休闲的真正含义。F项“Instead, it is a valuable part of life that helps us grow and gain wisdom. (相反，它是生活中有价值的一部分，帮助我们成长和获得智慧。)”用Instead承接上文，进一步阐述休闲的积极意义，与上文“not just about chilling out”形成对比递进。 4．上文“For instance, a tired businessman might want to sit on a beach and do nothing. (例如，一个疲惫的商人可能想坐在海滩上什么都不做。)”描述了人们将休闲等同于完全不活动的做法，下文“He believed that leisure is not just a break from work. (他认为休闲不仅仅是工作之余的休息。)”说明这位哲学家反对这种观点。A项“Josef Pieper rejected this way of thinking. (约瑟夫·皮珀拒绝了这种思维方式。)”承上启下，rejected this way of thinking指代上文将休闲等同于什么都不做的想法，He指代Josef Pieper，与下文一致。 5．上文“True leisure is the work you do for yourself without the economic pressure to earn money. (真正的休闲是你无需承受赚钱的经济压力、为自己做的事。)”定义了真正的休闲，下文“Instead, it involves meaningful and deep experiences. (相反，它涉及有意义和深刻的体验。)”用Instead说明休闲不包括无意义的活动。G项“It does not include mindless activities like scrolling through social media. (它不包括刷社交媒体这类无需动脑的漫无目的的活动。)”与下文的“Instead, it involves meaningful and deep experiences”形成“不是……而是……”的对照关系。 Passage 7 （25-26高二下·安徽六安·期末）At 99, Nita Draut shows it’s never too late to start something new. She picked up a pencil for the very first time at age 70, 1 out of curiosity. What was once a hobby has grown into a(n) 2 journey. Now her work is being shown at Fusion Art Gallery as she 3 100.

That “ 5 ” is usually people — strangers in stores or everyday faces that catch her eye. For Draut, every person she draws is 6 to her. Amazingly, in all her years of doing so, she has never once been 7 . Over time, her drawings have become more than a 8 ; they show human connection, one drawing at a time. Staff at Ascend Healthcare noticed her 9 and helped bring her artwork to the public. Jason Fewin, a staff member, said, “She 10 anyone who thinks they are too old or it is too late to start.

I feared being 1 by others and locked myself into a narrow world, where joy was limited and 2 was nowhere to be found. One autumn day, my teacher set us a group project and 3 me to be the group leader. Feeling 4 and anxious, I wanted to refuse, yet I didn’t have the courage to 5 my teacher’s arrangement. In the first group discussion, I hesitated constantly, not knowing how to organize my classmates or express my ideas 6 . To my surprise, my teammates never showed any 7 . Instead, they encouraged me patiently and shared their thoughts generously. I made up my mind to 8 my inner fear. I began to arrange tasks carefully and try to communicate with 9 . When our project was finally presented in front of the whole grade, I spoke fluently and performed far beyond my own anticipation. The 10 from the audience left me deeply touched.

Nobody is born a winner; every great figure originates 2 humble beginnings, and many used to start from nothing more 3 a simple wish for change. We often hesitate before unknown challenges, and dare not fully commit ourselves to hard work. We may falsely estimate our ability, fail to properly respond to sudden failures, and even pretend 4 (be) calm when we are exposed to pressure from our inner weakness. Some also make efforts 5 (aim), just like a broken gearbox (变速箱) which loses its right direction. Yet as long as we devote 6 (us) to the chosen path, bravely attempt to do what is right, we can slowly leave an 7 (impress) on everyone around us, and finally bring our long-lost confidence and ambition back to life. It is widely believed 8 life is a long journey full of tests. While difficulties will come one after another, it is our attitude rather than our talent that decides how far we can go.
