I used to have no confidence and didn’t think I would make much progress. In Grade 8, our school basketball team had a new coach. He quickly noticed me and asked if I wanted to join his team. 2 But I couldn’t believe his words at that time. “Darlene is a person who isn’t confident,” one of my friends said. The new coach said, “I’ll help her make it.” 3 Every day after school, I worked with the new coach. He told me that I was so tall, so my duty was to play centre. A centre is a player who stands under the net and gets rebounds (篮板球) . 4 I did push-ups and sit-ups and then I spent most of my time practicing shooting. When I first started, I got zero out of ten shots I took. But I didn’t want to give up. With the help of the coach, after a few weeks of practice, I had about five out of ten shots landing in the basket. But I still wasn’t very excellent. However, I was so tall that if someone took a shot I was usually the first one to reach the ball after it came down from the net. 5 The season came and went. We won the game finally. It was my coach and my teammates that helped me succeed. It’s exciting to learn something about yourself and to realize that you are what you make of yourself. A．But I did badly in sports. B．I am afraid of the challenge. C．He told me I would be the star! D．I did a good job in the basketball game. E．Centres are always the tallest in the team. F．I saw encouragement and trust in the new coach’s eyes. G．Later, I became better at putting the ball into the net because of my hard work. 长难句解析 1. 原句：（第一段第一句）I used to be tall for my age and I used to get a lot of attention because of my height. 译文：我曾经在同龄人中算高的，并且因为我的身高而受到很多关注。 分析：这是一个由 and 连接的并列句，两个分句结构相同。used to do sth. 表示“过去常常（做某事）”，隐含“现在不这样了”的意思。for my age 意为“就我的年龄而言”，需要意译，不能直译为“为了我的年龄”。 2.原句：（第五段第六句）However, I was so tall that if someone took a shot I was usually the first one to reach the ball after it came down from the net. 译文：然而，我实在太高了，以至于如果有人投篮，我通常是在球从篮筐上落下来后第一个碰到它的人。 分析：句是 so...that...（如此……以至于……）结构，但在 that 从句中又嵌套了一个 if 引导的条件状语从句和一个 after 引导的时间状语从句。the first one to reach the ball 中，不定式 to reach... 作后置定语，修饰 the first one。需要理清“高”导致的结果是“第一个碰到球”。 3.原句：（第六段第一句）It’s exciting to learn something about yourself and to realize that you are what you make of yourself. 译文：了解关于自己的一些事情，并且意识到“你是由你自己的努力所塑造的”，这是令人兴奋的。 分析：It 作形式主语，真正的主语是两个并列的不定式短语 to learn... 和 to realize...。宾语从句 that you are what you make of yourself 中，what you make of yourself 是表语从句。make of 在此处意为“塑造、使……成为”，整句富有哲理，需要意译。 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．F 4．E 5．G 【导语】本文讲述主人公Darlene个子很高，但不擅长运动、内心自卑。八年级球队来了新教练，教练看中她的身高并鼓励她，她坚持刻苦训练，最后球队赢得比赛，她也完成自我成长。 【解析】1．前文说我小时候身高突出，总被人关注；后文写别的孩子打球都很好，我却不行，没有自信。A选项“But I did badly in sports.”表转折，衔接前后反差，符合语境。 2．前文教练注意到我，邀请我加入篮球队；后文说我当时根本不敢相信教练的话。C选项“He told me I would be the star!”是教练给予我的鼓励，衔接上下文通顺。 3．前文朋友告诉我教练愿意帮助我取得成功，后文写我每天放学后跟着教练训练。F选项“I saw encouragement and trust in the new coach’s eyes.”写出我能感受到教练对我的信任，自然过渡到日复一日的训练。 4．前文介绍中锋的职责是站在篮下抢篮板，教练安排我打中锋。E选项“Centres are always the tallest in the team.”补充说明中锋一般是队里最高的人，刚好对应我的身高优势。 5. 前文提到我个子高，前文每次投篮落下我都能最先抢到篮板；后文写赛季结束我们赢得比赛。G选项“Later, I became better at putting the ball into the net because of my hard work.”说明长期苦练让我的投篮水平进步，为球队获胜埋下铺垫。 译文 我曾经在同龄人中算高的，并且因为我的身高而受到很多关注。但我在体育方面表现很差。 其他孩子能做一些我就是做不到的事情，比如打棒球或扔棒球。我曾经没有自信，觉得自己不会取得多大进步。 八年级时，我们学校篮球队来了一位新教练。他很快就注意到了我，并问我是否想加入他的队伍。我从新教练的眼神中看到了鼓励和信任。 但我当时不敢相信他的话。 “达琳是一个不自信的人，”我的一个朋友说。新教练说：“我会帮助她成功。” 他告诉我，我会成为明星！ 每天放学后，我都跟着新教练训练。他告诉我，我个子很高，所以我的职责是打中锋。中锋就是站在篮筐下抢篮板球的球员。中锋总是队里最高的。 我做俯卧撑和仰卧起坐，然后把大部分时间花在练习投篮上。刚开始的时候，我投十个球一个都没进。但我不想放弃。在教练的帮助下，经过几周的练习，我投十个球大约能进五个了。但我仍然不是非常优秀。然而，我实在太高了，以至于如果有人投篮，我通常是在球从篮筐上落下来后第一个碰到它的人。后来，通过我的努力，我更擅长把球投进篮筐了。 赛季来了又走了。最终我们赢得了比赛。正是我的教练和队友们帮助我取得了成功。 了解关于自己的一些事情，并且意识到“你是由你自己的努力所塑造的”，这是令人兴奋的。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 confidence /ˈkɑːn.fɪ.dəns/ n. 自信 coach /koʊtʃ/ n. 教练 rebound /ˈriː.baʊnd/ n. 篮板球 push-up /ˈpʊʃ.ʌp/ n. 俯卧撑 sit-up /ˈsɪt̬.ʌp/ n. 仰卧起坐 shoot (shot) /ʃuːt/ ( /ʃɑːt/ ) v.

But who tells the drones where to fly? That is the job of a Drone Route Planner (无人机路线规划师). A drone route planner is a new kind of job. People in this job plan safe flying routes for drones. They use computers and map software to find the best way. They also watch the weather and the traffic in the sky. This helps keep drones away from danger. Why do we need this job? Because more and more drones are flying in cities. Without good plans, drones may hit each other or fall down. A good route planner can make the sky safer. To be a drone route planner, you need to be good at math and geography. You also need to learn how to use map software quickly. Teamwork is important too. This job is still new, but it is growing fast. If you love technology and solving problems, you may become a drone route planner in the future! 1．What does a drone route planner use to find the best flying way? A．A kite and a map. B．A phone and a book. C．A computer and map software. D．A drone and a camera. 2．Why do we need drone route planners according to the passage? A．Because drones are too expensive. B．Because drones cannot take photos. C．Because farmers don’t like drones. D．Because more drones are flying in cities. 3．What does the underlined word “routes” in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A．Roads or paths to follow. B．Kinds of drones. C．Weather conditions. D．Computer games. 4．What is the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．Look at the four pictures, which picture shows the main task of a Drone Route Planner? A．A person controlling a drone by hand B．A person drawing flying routes for drones on a computer C．A person repairing a broken drone D．A person putting a package on a drone 长难句解析 1.原句：（第二段第二句）People in this job plan safe flying routes for drones. 译文：从事这项工作的人为无人机规划安全的飞行路线。 分析：这是一个简单的主谓宾结构，但主语 People 后面跟了一个介词短语 in this job 作后置定语，用来限定“什么样的人”。in this job 不能直译为“在这个工作里”，而应意译为“从事这项工作的人”或“做这份工作的人”。 2.原句：（第三段第三句）Without good plans, drones may hit each other or fall down. 译文：如果没有好的规划，无人机可能会相互碰撞或者坠落。 分析：Without good plans 是介词短语作条件状语，相当于 If there are no good plans。hit each other 表示“互相撞击”，fall down 表示“掉落、坠落”。学生需要理解 without 引导的隐含条件句。 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了新兴职业无人机路线规划师，讲解其工作内容、设立该职业的原因、从业所需能力，并说明这份科技类新兴职业发展前景良好。 【解析】1．根据第二段“They use computers and map software to find the best way.”，他们使用“电脑和地图软件”找到最佳飞行路线。 2．根据第三段“Because more and more drones are flying in cities. Without good plans, drones may hit each other or fall down.”，“因为越来越多无人机在城市上空飞行”，所以需要规划师保证安全。 3．根据第二段“People in this job plan safe flying routes for drones”和“find the best way”，做这种工作的人们会为无人机规划安全的飞行“路线”，以帮助找到最佳的路。routes在这里意为“可供通行的道路或路线”。 4．通读全文可知，第①段为总起段，引出核心职业；第②③④分述工作内容、设立原因、从业要求；第⑤段总结行业发展前景，收尾全文。因此结构为“总—分—总”结构，即“①/②③④/⑤”。 5．根据第二段“People in this job plan safe flying routes for drones. They use computers and map software to find the best way.”，无人机路线规划师的核心工作：用电脑和地图软件规划无人机的安全飞行路线。B选项“一个人在电脑上为无人机绘制飞行路线”正确。 译文 你知道无人机可以运送包裹、拍照和帮助农民吗？但是谁告诉无人机飞往哪里呢？那就是无人机路线规划师的工作。 无人机路线规划师是一种新兴的职业。从事这项工作的人为无人机规划安全的飞行路线。他们使用电脑和地图软件来找到最佳路径。他们还要观察天气和空中的交通状况。这有助于让无人机远离危险。 为什么我们需要这份工作？因为越来越多的无人机在城市中飞行。如果没有好的规划，无人机可能会相互碰撞或者坠落。一个好的路线规划师能让天空更安全。 要成为一名无人机路线规划师，你需要擅长数学和地理。你还需要学习如何快速使用地图软件。团队合作也很重要。 这个工作虽然还很新，但发展很快。如果你热爱科技并且喜欢解决问题，未来你可能会成为一名无人机路线规划师！ 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 drone /droʊn/ n. 无人机 route /ruːt/ 或 /raʊt/ n. 路线；航线 planner /ˈplæn.ɚ/ n. 规划师；策划者 software /ˈsɑːft.wer/ n. 软件 fall down /fɑːl daʊn/ 短语 掉落；倒塌 hit /hɪt/ v. 撞击；碰撞 grow (growing) /ɡroʊ/ v. 增长；发展 map software /mæp ˈsɑːft.wer/ 短语 地图软件 1.

(有时候，最艰难的选择恰恰是通往最大回报的那一个。) 4. There is no right or wrong choice in life — there is only the choice we make and the courage to face its consequences. (人生中没有绝对正确或错误的选择——只有我们做出的选择和面对其后果的勇气。) 5. A wise man makes his own decisions; a foolish man follows the crowd. (智者自己做决定；愚者随波逐流。) 6. The road not taken often makes all the difference in our life journey. (那条未被选择的路，往往在我们的人生旅途中产生巨大的不同。) 7.

Making a choice means giving up other possibilities, but that is what makes it valuable. (做出选择意味着放弃其他可能性，但正是这一点让选择变得有价值。) 13. Success is not an accident. It is the result of a series of wise choices made over time. (成功不是偶然，它是长期一系列明智选择的结果。) 14. When you don't know which path to take, choose the one that makes you grow the most. (当你不知道该走哪条路时，选择那个能让你成长最多的方向。) 15. At the end of our lives, we regret not the choices we made, but the chances we let slip away. (在生命的尽头，我们后悔的不是做出的选择，而是那些我们任其溜走的机会。) Passage1 (2026·湖北省武汉市) Jenny first got into motorsport (赛车运动) by watching her younger brother, Bill, drive his kart (卡丁赛车). Every time he took off his helmet (头盔) with a big smile, she became more fascinated. Soon after, she took the wheel herself. She started out in karts, racing at state level and then nationally, and got good results early on. She got into the 2023 Ferrari training camp and was invited to enter a top Italian racing school. She then won Best New Driver in November 2024, and moved up to the Spanish F4 (一种入门级赛车比赛). In February 2025, she became a driver of the F1 Academy — races for women racers. Racing needs a strong mind, not just fast driving. Starting karting at 9 taught her how hard the sport is on the mind and how discouraging and exciting it can be all at once. Now, Jenny talks with a coach every week and acts out situations she’s likely to face, which helps her stay calm under pressure and keep focused in races. Since she travels a lot for racing, Jenny has to study online. And she misses her friends’ birthdays. Always being on the way means leaving behind her loved things like her home, her school and the people she grew up with. As a woman driver, Jenny has faced doubts, but she believes love and performance speak loudest. She hopes to encourage more girls to go for their dreams. She enjoys the speed and excitement of driving. Her biggest dream is to become the first woman F1 driver in her country. 1．When did Jenny become interested in motorsport? A．When she enjoyed a race on TV. B．When she watched Bill drive his kart. C．When she got a dream helmet. D．When she attended a racing school. 2．What does Paragraph 2 focus on? A．The history of the F1 Academy. B．Jenny’s educational background. C．The development of the Spanish F4. D．Jenny’s big moments in motor racing. 3．How does Jenny keep her mind strong? A．By playing sports every day. B．By learning from other racers. C．By working with a coach before races. D．By competing with her brother. 4．What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．Jenny can balance her life well. B．Jenny values her free time most. C．Jenny makes great efforts for racing. D．Jenny might travel a lot with her friends. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．No Doubt, No Success B．Driven to Fly C．The Younger, The Better D．Born to Coach 长难句解析 1.原句：（第一段第二句）Every time he took off his helmet with a big smile, she became more fascinated. 译文： 每次他带着灿烂的笑容摘下头盔时，她都会变得更加着迷。 分析：Every time 在这里作连词，引导时间状语从句，意为“每次……时”，相当于 Whenever。这是初中阶段重要的时间状语从句表达方式。with a big smile 是介词短语作伴随状语，修饰“摘下头盔”这个动作时的状态。 2.原句：（第三段第二句）Starting karting at 9 taught her how hard the sport is on the mind and how discouraging and exciting it can be all at once. 译文：9岁开始玩卡丁车让她明白了这项运动对心理的考验有多大，以及它会同时有多么令人沮丧和令人兴奋。 分析：动名词短语 Starting karting at 9 作整个句子的主语。谓语动词 taught 后面接了双宾语——间接宾语 her 和直接宾语（两个并列的 how 引导的宾语从句）。两个 how 引导的宾语从句并列，第一个是 how hard... is on the mind（对心理有多难），第二个是 how discouraging and exciting it can be（它能有多令人沮丧和兴奋）。all at once 意为“同时”。 3.原句：（第三段第三句）Now, Jenny talks with a coach every week and acts out situations she’s likely to face, which helps her stay calm under pressure and keep focused in races. 译文：现在，珍妮每周都和心理教练谈话，并且演练她可能面临的各种情况，这有助于她在压力下保持冷静并在比赛中保持专注。 分析：主干是 Jenny talks... and acts out situations。she's likely to face 是定语从句，修饰 situations（省略了关系代词 that）。which 引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个句子的内容。acts out 意为“把……演出来/演练”。be likely to do 是重要短语，意为“很可能做某事”。which 指代整个前文。 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了女性赛车手Jenny从卡丁车起步，逐步晋升至F1 Academy的成长历程，以及她在心理训练、平衡生活与训练、面对质疑等方面的经历和梦想。 【解析】1． 根据第一段第一句“Jenny first got into motorsport... by watching her younger brother, Bill, drive his kart.”可知，Jenny是通过观看弟弟Bill开卡丁车开始对赛车运动感兴趣的。 2．第二段按时间顺序列举了Jenny的职业生涯里程碑：从卡丁车比赛到2023年法拉利训练营，再到2024年获最佳新车手奖，直至2025年成为F1 Academy车手。这些内容主要聚焦于她在赛车运动中的重要时刻和发展历程。 3．根据第三段最后一句“Now, Jenny talks with a coach every week and acts out situations she’s likely to face, which helps her stay calm under pressure...”可知，她通过与教练沟通并模拟比赛情境来保持强大的心理状态。 4． 第四段提到Jenny为了赛车必须在线学习、错过朋友生日、离开家乡和亲人。这些牺牲表明她为了赛车梦想付出了巨大的努力和代价。 5．全文讲述了Jenny投身赛车运动、克服困难、追求成为F1女车手的梦想历程。因此最佳标题为“Driven to Fly”。“Driven”既指“驾驶”，也指“有动力的”；“Fly”比喻实现高远梦想。该标题双关且契合文章主旨。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 motorsport /ˈmoʊ.t̬ɚ.spɔːrt/ n. 赛车运动 fascinated /ˈfæs.ə.neɪ.t̬ɪd/ adj. 着迷的；极感兴趣的 helmet /ˈhel.mɪt/ n. 头盔 training camp /ˈtreɪ.nɪŋ ˌkæmp/ n.短语 训练营 academy /əˈkæd.ə.mi/ n. 学院；专科院校 discouraging /dɪsˈkɜː.rɪ.dʒɪŋ/ adj. 令人气馁的；使人沮丧的 pressure /ˈpreʃ.ɚ/ n. 压力 focused /ˈfoʊ.kəst/ adj. 专注的；集中的 performance /pɚˈfɔːr.məns/ n. 表现；表演；性能 doubt /daʊt/ n./v. 怀疑；疑虑 go for /ɡoʊ fɔːr/ 短语 努力争取；追求 all at once /ɔːl æt wʌns/ 短语 同时；一下子 act out /ækt aʊt/ 短语 将……表演出来；演练 leave behind /liːv bɪˈhaɪnd/ 短语 留下；把……抛在后面 Passage2 Tang Weisheng, also called Longzai, comes from Guangzhou.

D．Business. 长难句解析 1.原句：（第一段第四句）However, dance took up too much of his time, which worried his parents. 译文： 然而，跳舞占据了他太多时间，这让他的父母很担心。 分析：主句是 dance took up too much of his time，后面跟了一个非限制性定语从句 which worried his parents。关系代词 which 指代的是前面整个句子（“跳舞占据太多时间”这件事），而不是 time 这个单词。 2.原句：（第一段第五句）To win his parents' support, Tang tried hard to do well both in study and dance. 译文：为了赢得父母的支持，唐努力在学习和舞蹈两方面都做好。 分析：不定式短语 To win his parents' support 作目的状语，放在句首表示强调。主干是 Tang tried hard to do well...。both in study and dance 中，both... and... 连接两个并列的介词短语，意为“在学习和舞蹈两方面都……”。 3.原句：（第四段第一句）Like countless young dancers who share the same love, Tang continues to dance and tell the story of Chinese youth. 译文：像无数有着同样热爱的年轻舞者一样，唐继续跳舞，讲述中国青年的故事。 分析：Like countless young dancers... 是介词短语作状语，其中 who share the same love 是定语从句修饰 dancers。主干是 Tang continues to dance and tell the story...。定语从句 who share the same love 修饰先行词 dancers（复数），关系代词用 who。continue to do 意为“继续做某事”，后接两个并列的不定式 to dance 和 (to) tell。 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍舞者唐炜胜（龙仔）与霹雳舞的故事，讲述他学习舞蹈的经历、融合中国文化创新霹雳舞以及霹雳舞在国内蓬勃发展的现状。 【解析】1．文中第一段明确提到“He began his breakdancing journey at the age of 13 in 2006.”，直接说明唐炜胜在2006年开启霹雳舞之路。 2．文中第二段末尾引用他的原话“To give breakdancing a whole new life, I mix it with Chinese culture.”，表明他通过将霹雳舞与中国文化融合赋予其全新生命力。 3．划线词所在句后文提到“从三四岁孩童到四五十岁人群都能在舞台绽放光彩”，能看出霹雳舞在中国发展兴盛，thriving此处表示蓬勃发展、不断成长，和Growing含义相近。 4．文章围绕霹雳舞这一舞蹈艺术，讲述文化融合、国内舞蹈发展相关内容，属于文化类题材，对应报纸的Culture版面。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 breakdancing /ˈbreɪk.dæn.sɪŋ/ n. 霹雳舞 motivation /ˌmoʊ.t̬əˈveɪ.ʃən/ n. 动力；积极性 national /ˈnæʃ.ən.əl/ adj. 全国的；国家的 competition /ˌkɑːm.pəˈtɪʃ.ən/ n. 比赛；竞赛 thrive /θraɪv/ v. 繁荣发展；茁壮成长 stage /steɪdʒ/ n. 舞台 countless /ˈkaʊnt.ləs/ adj. 无数的；数不清的 take up /teɪk ʌp/ 短语 占据（时间或空间） turn out /tɜːrn aʊt/ 短语 结果是；证明是 Passage 1 (25-26九·山东滨州邹平黄山初级中学·)In our daily life, we often meet many problems. Have you ever thought about why some people stay happy and solve these problems easily, while others feel sad all the time? The reason is positive thinking. Positive thinking is good for our health. Studies show that happy people are usually healthier. When we think positively, our bodies make things that can keep us away from illness. For example, happy patients often recover faster. Also, positive people like to exercise and eat healthy food, so they stay healthy. Positive thinking is good for our minds, too. Positive people see problems as chances to grow. When they face problems, they try to find ways to solve them. This helps them feel less stressed. For example, if a student fails a test, a positive student will find out what went wrong and study harder. A negative student may just feel bad and give up. Positive thinking can also make our friendships better. Happy people are fun to be with. Their good feelings make others happy. They often help and encourage friends, and friends love them more. We need to practice because it’s not easy to think positively. We can start by watching our thoughts. When we have negative thoughts, we should tell ourselves positive things. For example, don’t say “I can’t do it.” Say “I’ll do my best.” All in all, positive thinking can improve our lives. Let’s try to think positively and live better. 1．What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A．Positive thinking can help prevent illness. B．Happy people never get sick. C．All patients recover faster if they are happy. 2．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Seeing problems as chances to grow. B．Trying to find ways to solve problems. C．Feeling stressed and giving up. 3．What is the structure of the passage? A．总—分—总 B．分—总 C．总—分 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．How to Stay Healthy B．How to Solve Problems C．The Power of Positive Thinking 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了积极思考对我们日常生活产生的巨大影响，阐述了其在促进身体健康、缓解心理压力、改善人际关系等方面的诸多益处，并给出了如何训练积极思维的具体建议。 【解析】1．根据第二段中的“When we think positively, our bodies make things that can keep us away from illness.”可知，当我们进行积极思考时，我们的身体会产生一些可以让我们远离疾病的物质。由此可以推断出，积极思考有助于预防疾病。 2．根据第三段中的“When they face problems, they try to find ways to solve them. This helps them feel less stressed.”可知，当人们面临问题并努力寻找解决办法时，这一举动可以帮助他们减少压力。因此，代词“This”指代的是前一句中提到的“寻找解决问题的方法”。 3．通读全文结构可知：第一段开篇引出“积极思考”这一核心概念并进行总领；第二、三段分别从身体健康、心理健康和人际关系三个方面分述了积极思考的具体益处；第四段对全文进行归纳总结，并呼吁大家践行积极思考以过上更好的生活。因此，整篇文章的结构为“总—分—总”。 4．本文第一段开门见山提出“积极思考”这一核心主题，随后第二、三段具体介绍了积极思考对人们身体健康、心理健康及友谊带来的积极益处，最后一段总结并呼吁大家尝试积极思考。选项C“积极思考的力量”作为标题最能高度概括整篇文章的中心思想。 Passage 2 I’ve always looked up to people who achieve great things. When I was a teenager, a friend of my neighbor’s won a marathon. This encouraged me, and I began running three times a week. But then two things changed my mind. First, I met a girl who said she was training for an “ultra-race”—a double marathon of 52.4 miles. The very next day, I ran my longest way ever: 15 miles. To tell the truth, I really didn’t enjoy it! Between her huge goal that made mine seem small, and how tiring and uninteresting running felt, I decided I would only run again if a big dog was running after me. So I started cycling instead. I had a nice bike and rode often. I even thought about joining races—until I visited my sister in San Diego. One day when she was working, I borrowed her bike. The problem was that the roads went through large low areas between hills, and I had to ride for miles with no break. I wasn’t used to anything like that. That day, about 100 local cyclists passed me—they were clearly comfortable on those roads. When I returned home, I suddenly lost interest in cycling. Since then, I’ve grown and learned a lot. Whatever goals I set for myself, they just have to be my own. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 1．What encouraged the writer to take up running? A．A neighbor’s friend’s success in a long race. B．His own desire to win a marathon. C．Meeting a girl training for a race. 2．Why did the writer finally decide to give up running? A．He hurt his leg while running. B．He was followed by a dog while running. C．He compared himself with a better runner. 3．What can be inferred (推断) about the local San Diego cyclists? A．They were not friendly to the writer. B．They were very skilled on those roads. C．They rode much slower than the writer. 4．What ended the writer’s interest in cycling? A．A difficult ride where many people passed him. B．His sister wouldn’t lend him her bike. C．The weather in San Diego was too hot. 5．Why does the writer share his experience in the text? A．To tell us we should always try to beat other people in sports. B．To show us that goals should be personal and not compared. C．To show that trying new sports helps us find ourselves. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己受邻居朋友马拉松成功的影响开始跑步，后因与他人比较而放弃；接着尝试骑行，又因在圣地亚哥的一次艰难骑行经历中感到挫败而失去兴趣。最终作者感悟到：目标应该是属于自己的，不应与他人比较。 【解析】1．根据第二段前两句“When I was a teenager, a friend of my neighbor’s won a marathon. This encouraged me…”可知，是邻居的朋友赢得马拉松这一成功事例鼓励了作者开始跑步。 2．根据第二段中“Between her huge goal that made mine seem small… I decided I would only run again if a big dog was running after me.”可知，作者放弃跑步是因为那个女孩的巨大目标让作者自己的目标显得渺小，即与他人比较后产生了挫败感。 3．根据第三段中“about 100 local cyclists passed me—they were clearly comfortable on those roads.”可知，当地骑行者在那样的道路上很自如，且超过了作者，说明他们对这些道路非常熟悉且骑行技术熟练。 4．根据第三段描述可知，作者在圣地亚哥借车骑行，道路艰难，且约有100名当地骑行者超过了他，回家后便失去了兴趣。 5．根据最后一段“Whatever goals I set for myself, they just have to be my own.”可知，作者分享这段经历是为了说明目标应该是属于自己的，不应盲目与他人比较。 Passage 3 Samuel lived in a small village near a big mountain. He was an ordinary (普通的) man, but he had big dreams and a heart full of hope. Even if life was not easy for him, he always believed hard work could change everything. Every day, Samuel looked at the mountain. It stood high and strong, making him want to be strong too. One day, Samuel decided to climb the mountain. The villagers laughed at him. “You can’t do it!” they said. However, Samuel didn’t let them stop him. With strong determination, he began his journey up the mountain. It was hard, with steep slopes (陡峭的山坡), slippery (滑的) rocks, and unpredictable weather making the journey rather dangerous. Samuel fell lots of times. His leg hurt and he felt very tired, but he didn’t give up. On the way, Samuel met other travelers. They helped each other. Soon, they became brothers, cheering each other up and sharing stories of their hard times and successes. Their friendship made them all stronger. As Samuel climbed higher, the air got thinner, and the challenges grew harder. Samuel felt tired and scared. “Maybe I should stop,”he thought. But then, he remembered his dream. “I must try!” he told himself. With that thought, he moved on, bit by bit. Finally, after days of effort, Samuel reached the top. The view was amazing. He saw green forests and rivers below. The world looked quite different in his eyes, big and beautiful. It was then that Samuel realized the true victory wasn’t just about reaching the top of the mountain. It was a journey. The changes he had experienced mattered most. News of Samuel’s success spread quickly, and the villagers were shocked. “You really did it!”they said. Samuel’s journey taught everyone a lesson: ________. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What did the villagers do when they heard Samuel decided to climb the mountain? A．They helped him. B．They stopped him. C．They encouraged him. D．They laughed at him. 2．What did Samuel do when he felt tired and scared? A．He kept moving on. B．He waited for help. C．He stopped his journey. D．He forgot his dream. 3．What is the correct order of the story? ① Samuel decided to climb the mountain. ② Samuel met other travelers and they helped each other. ③ Samuel reached the top and realized what true victory is. ④ Samuel wanted to give up, but he remembered his dream. A．①→②→③→④ B．①→②→④→③ C．①→③→④→② D．①→③→②→④ 4．Which words can best describe Samuel? A．Brave and popular. B．Strong-minded and famous. C．Outgoing and careful. D．Determined and hard-working. 5．Which can be put in the ________ in the last paragraph? A．Planning everything ahead is the key to a person’s success. B．Meeting new friends helps people achieve success in hard times. C．Being determined makes it possible to overcome great difficulties. D．Having a healthy body is important for people if they want to be strong. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了Samuel是一个心怀梦想的平凡人，他决定攀登一座高山，却遭到村民的嘲笑。路途艰险、身心疲惫，他也曾想过放弃，却靠着心中的信念坚持前行。这段旅程不仅让他站上山顶，更让他读懂了“胜利”的真正含义。 【解析】1．根据文章第三段第二句“The villagers laughed at him.”（村民们嘲笑他）可知，当村民听说Samuel要爬山时，他们嘲笑了他。 2．根据文章第六段内容，Samuel感到疲惫和害怕时，虽然想过停止，但想起梦想后告诉自己“I must try!”，随后“he moved on, bit by bit.”（他一点一点继续前进）。因此他选择了继续前行。 3．通读全文可知，首先Samuel决定爬山（①，第三段）；然后在路上遇到其他旅行者互助（②，第五段）；接着在攀登更高处时想放弃但想起梦想坚持下来（④，第六段）；最后到达山顶并感悟真正的胜利（③，第七、八段）。正确顺序为①→②→④→③。 4．文章第一段提到他相信“hard work”（努力工作），第三段提到他有“strong determination”（坚定的决心），且在整个爬山过程中面对困难从未放弃。因此“Determined and hard-working”（有决心且勤奋）最能形容他。 5．文章主旨讲述了Samuel凭借决心和努力，克服村民的质疑及登山过程中的重重困难最终成功的故事。最后一段总结这一经历给村民的教训，应是关于决心能克服困难的道理。选项C“坚定的决心使人有可能克服巨大的困难”符合文意。 Passage 4 On April 26, 2026, the London Marathon created exciting global sporting history.

I used to have no confidence and didn’t think I would make much progress. In Grade 8, our school basketball team had a new coach. He quickly noticed me and asked if I wanted to join his team. 2 But I couldn’t believe his words at that time. “Darlene is a person who isn’t confident,” one of my friends said. The new coach said, “I’ll help her make it.” 3 Every day after school, I worked with the new coach. He told me that I was so tall, so my duty was to play centre. A centre is a player who stands under the net and gets rebounds (篮板球) . 4 I did push-ups and sit-ups and then I spent most of my time practicing shooting. When I first started, I got zero out of ten shots I took. But I didn’t want to give up. With the help of the coach, after a few weeks of practice, I had about five out of ten shots landing in the basket. But I still wasn’t very excellent. However, I was so tall that if someone took a shot I was usually the first one to reach the ball after it came down from the net. 5 The season came and went. We won the game finally. It was my coach and my teammates that helped me succeed. It’s exciting to learn something about yourself and to realize that you are what you make of yourself. A．But I did badly in sports. B．I am afraid of the challenge. C．He told me I would be the star! D．I did a good job in the basketball game. E．Centres are always the tallest in the team. F．I saw encouragement and trust in the new coach’s eyes. G．Later, I became better at putting the ball into the net because of my hard work. 长难句解析 1. 原句：（第一段第一句）I used to be tall for my age and I used to get a lot of attention because of my height. 译文：我曾经在同龄人中算高的，并且因为我的身高而受到很多关注。 分析：这是一个由 and 连接的并列句，两个分句结构相同。used to do sth. 表示“过去常常（做某事）”，隐含“现在不这样了”的意思。for my age 意为“就我的年龄而言”，需要意译，不能直译为“为了我的年龄”。 2.原句：（第五段第六句）However, I was so tall that if someone took a shot I was usually the first one to reach the ball after it came down from the net. 译文：然而，我实在太高了，以至于如果有人投篮，我通常是在球从篮筐上落下来后第一个碰到它的人。 分析：句是 so...that...（如此……以至于……）结构，但在 that 从句中又嵌套了一个 if 引导的条件状语从句和一个 after 引导的时间状语从句。the first one to reach the ball 中，不定式 to reach... 作后置定语，修饰 the first one。需要理清“高”导致的结果是“第一个碰到球”。 3.原句：（第六段第一句）It’s exciting to learn something about yourself and to realize that you are what you make of yourself. 译文：了解关于自己的一些事情，并且意识到“你是由你自己的努力所塑造的”，这是令人兴奋的。 分析：It 作形式主语，真正的主语是两个并列的不定式短语 to learn... 和 to realize...。宾语从句 that you are what you make of yourself 中，what you make of yourself 是表语从句。make of 在此处意为“塑造、使……成为”，整句富有哲理，需要意译。 译文 我曾经在同龄人中算高的，并且因为我的身高而受到很多关注。但我在体育方面表现很差。 其他孩子能做一些我就是做不到的事情，比如打棒球或扔棒球。我曾经没有自信，觉得自己不会取得多大进步。 八年级时，我们学校篮球队来了一位新教练。他很快就注意到了我，并问我是否想加入他的队伍。我从新教练的眼神中看到了鼓励和信任。 但我当时不敢相信他的话。 “达琳是一个不自信的人，”我的一个朋友说。新教练说：“我会帮助她成功。” 他告诉我，我会成为明星！ 每天放学后，我都跟着新教练训练。他告诉我，我个子很高，所以我的职责是打中锋。中锋就是站在篮筐下抢篮板球的球员。中锋总是队里最高的。 我做俯卧撑和仰卧起坐，然后把大部分时间花在练习投篮上。刚开始的时候，我投十个球一个都没进。但我不想放弃。在教练的帮助下，经过几周的练习，我投十个球大约能进五个了。但我仍然不是非常优秀。然而，我实在太高了，以至于如果有人投篮，我通常是在球从篮筐上落下来后第一个碰到它的人。后来，通过我的努力，我更擅长把球投进篮筐了。 赛季来了又走了。最终我们赢得了比赛。正是我的教练和队友们帮助我取得了成功。 了解关于自己的一些事情，并且意识到“你是由你自己的努力所塑造的”，这是令人兴奋的。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 confidence /ˈkɑːn.fɪ.dəns/ n. 自信 coach /koʊtʃ/ n. 教练 rebound /ˈriː.baʊnd/ n. 篮板球 push-up /ˈpʊʃ.ʌp/ n. 俯卧撑 sit-up /ˈsɪt̬.ʌp/ n. 仰卧起坐 shoot (shot) /ʃuːt/ ( /ʃɑːt/ ) v.

But who tells the drones where to fly? That is the job of a Drone Route Planner (无人机路线规划师). A drone route planner is a new kind of job. People in this job plan safe flying routes for drones. They use computers and map software to find the best way. They also watch the weather and the traffic in the sky. This helps keep drones away from danger. Why do we need this job? Because more and more drones are flying in cities. Without good plans, drones may hit each other or fall down. A good route planner can make the sky safer. To be a drone route planner, you need to be good at math and geography. You also need to learn how to use map software quickly. Teamwork is important too. This job is still new, but it is growing fast. If you love technology and solving problems, you may become a drone route planner in the future! 1．What does a drone route planner use to find the best flying way? A．A kite and a map. B．A phone and a book. C．A computer and map software. D．A drone and a camera. 2．Why do we need drone route planners according to the passage? A．Because drones are too expensive. B．Because drones cannot take photos. C．Because farmers don’t like drones. D．Because more drones are flying in cities. 3．What does the underlined word “routes” in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A．Roads or paths to follow. B．Kinds of drones. C．Weather conditions. D．Computer games. 4．What is the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．Look at the four pictures, which picture shows the main task of a Drone Route Planner? A．A person controlling a drone by hand B．A person drawing flying routes for drones on a computer C．A person repairing a broken drone D．A person putting a package on a drone 长难句解析 1.原句：（第二段第二句）People in this job plan safe flying routes for drones. 译文：从事这项工作的人为无人机规划安全的飞行路线。 分析：这是一个简单的主谓宾结构，但主语 People 后面跟了一个介词短语 in this job 作后置定语，用来限定“什么样的人”。in this job 不能直译为“在这个工作里”，而应意译为“从事这项工作的人”或“做这份工作的人”。 2.原句：（第三段第三句）Without good plans, drones may hit each other or fall down. 译文：如果没有好的规划，无人机可能会相互碰撞或者坠落。 分析：Without good plans 是介词短语作条件状语，相当于 If there are no good plans。hit each other 表示“互相撞击”，fall down 表示“掉落、坠落”。学生需要理解 without 引导的隐含条件句。 译文 你知道无人机可以运送包裹、拍照和帮助农民吗？但是谁告诉无人机飞往哪里呢？那就是无人机路线规划师的工作。 无人机路线规划师是一种新兴的职业。从事这项工作的人为无人机规划安全的飞行路线。他们使用电脑和地图软件来找到最佳路径。他们还要观察天气和空中的交通状况。这有助于让无人机远离危险。 为什么我们需要这份工作？因为越来越多的无人机在城市中飞行。如果没有好的规划，无人机可能会相互碰撞或者坠落。一个好的路线规划师能让天空更安全。 要成为一名无人机路线规划师，你需要擅长数学和地理。你还需要学习如何快速使用地图软件。团队合作也很重要。 这个工作虽然还很新，但发展很快。如果你热爱科技并且喜欢解决问题，未来你可能会成为一名无人机路线规划师！ 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 drone /droʊn/ n. 无人机 route /ruːt/ 或 /raʊt/ n. 路线；航线 planner /ˈplæn.ɚ/ n. 规划师；策划者 software /ˈsɑːft.wer/ n. 软件 fall down /fɑːl daʊn/ 短语 掉落；倒塌 hit /hɪt/ v. 撞击；碰撞 grow (growing) /ɡroʊ/ v. 增长；发展 map software /mæp ˈsɑːft.wer/ 短语 地图软件 1.

It is the result of a series of wise choices made over time. (成功不是偶然，它是长期一系列明智选择的结果。) 14. When you don't know which path to take, choose the one that makes you grow the most.

Every time he took off his helmet (头盔) with a big smile, she became more fascinated. Soon after, she took the wheel herself. She started out in karts, racing at state level and then nationally, and got good results early on. She got into the 2023 Ferrari training camp and was invited to enter a top Italian racing school. She then won Best New Driver in November 2024, and moved up to the Spanish F4 (一种入门级赛车比赛). In February 2025, she became a driver of the F1 Academy — races for women racers. Racing needs a strong mind, not just fast driving. Starting karting at 9 taught her how hard the sport is on the mind and how discouraging and exciting it can be all at once. Now, Jenny talks with a coach every week and acts out situations she’s likely to face, which helps her stay calm under pressure and keep focused in races. Since she travels a lot for racing, Jenny has to study online. And she misses her friends’ birthdays. Always being on the way means leaving behind her loved things like her home, her school and the people she grew up with. As a woman driver, Jenny has faced doubts, but she believes love and performance speak loudest. She hopes to encourage more girls to go for their dreams. She enjoys the speed and excitement of driving. Her biggest dream is to become the first woman F1 driver in her country. 1．When did Jenny become interested in motorsport?

D．Jenny might travel a lot with her friends. 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．No Doubt, No Success B．Driven to Fly C．The Younger, The Better D．Born to Coach 长难句解析 1.原句：（第一段第二句）Every time he took off his helmet with a big smile, she became more fascinated. 译文： 每次他带着灿烂的笑容摘下头盔时，她都会变得更加着迷。 分析：Every time 在这里作连词，引导时间状语从句，意为“每次……时”，相当于 Whenever。这是初中阶段重要的时间状语从句表达方式。with a big smile 是介词短语作伴随状语，修饰“摘下头盔”这个动作时的状态。 2.原句：（第三段第二句）Starting karting at 9 taught her how hard the sport is on the mind and how discouraging and exciting it can be all at once. 译文：9岁开始玩卡丁车让她明白了这项运动对心理的考验有多大，以及它会同时有多么令人沮丧和令人兴奋。 分析：动名词短语 Starting karting at 9 作整个句子的主语。谓语动词 taught 后面接了双宾语——间接宾语 her 和直接宾语（两个并列的 how 引导的宾语从句）。两个 how 引导的宾语从句并列，第一个是 how hard... is on the mind（对心理有多难），第二个是 how discouraging and exciting it can be（它能有多令人沮丧和兴奋）。all at once 意为“同时”。 3.原句：（第三段第三句）Now, Jenny talks with a coach every week and acts out situations she’s likely to face, which helps her stay calm under pressure and keep focused in races. 译文：现在，珍妮每周都和心理教练谈话，并且演练她可能面临的各种情况，这有助于她在压力下保持冷静并在比赛中保持专注。 分析：主干是 Jenny talks... and acts out situations。she's likely to face 是定语从句，修饰 situations（省略了关系代词 that）。which 引导非限制性定语从句，指代前面整个句子的内容。acts out 意为“把……演出来/演练”。be likely to do 是重要短语，意为“很可能做某事”。which 指代整个前文。 【重难词汇梳理】 单词 / 短语 音标（美式） 词性 中文释义 motorsport /ˈmoʊ.t̬ɚ.spɔːrt/ n. 赛车运动 fascinated /ˈfæs.ə.neɪ.t̬ɪd/ adj. 着迷的；极感兴趣的 helmet /ˈhel.mɪt/ n. 头盔 training camp /ˈtreɪ.nɪŋ ˌkæmp/ n.短语 训练营 academy /əˈkæd.ə.mi/ n. 学院；专科院校 discouraging /dɪsˈkɜː.rɪ.dʒɪŋ/ adj. 令人气馁的；使人沮丧的 pressure /ˈpreʃ.ɚ/ n. 压力 focused /ˈfoʊ.kəst/ adj. 专注的；集中的 performance /pɚˈfɔːr.məns/ n. 表现；表演；性能 doubt /daʊt/ n./v. 怀疑；疑虑 go for /ɡoʊ fɔːr/ 短语 努力争取；追求 all at once /ɔːl æt wʌns/ 短语 同时；一下子 act out /ækt aʊt/ 短语 将……表演出来；演练 leave behind /liːv bɪˈhaɪnd/ 短语 留下；把……抛在后面 Passage2 Tang Weisheng, also called Longzai, comes from Guangzhou. He has loved breakdancing (霹雳舞) for almost 20 years. He began his breakdancing journey at the age of 13 in 2006. However, dance took up too much of his time, which worried his parents. To win his parents’ support, Tang tried hard to do well both in study and dance. His parents found that dance had a good influence on him. Finally, they agreed.

Tang first won national attention in a popular TV show and then took part in top world dance competitions. He got excellent results and showed that the skills of Chinese dancers reached a world-class level. Although breakdancing started abroad, Tang strongly believes that its future lies in China. “To give breakdancing a whole new life, I mix it with Chinese culture,” he said. Tang is glad to see that breakdancing is thriving in China. From children as young as 3 or 4 to people in their 40s and 50s, all shine on stage. He has begun teaching his 3-year-old son breakdancing.

Have you ever thought about why some people stay happy and solve these problems easily, while others feel sad all the time? The reason is positive thinking. Positive thinking is good for our health. Studies show that happy people are usually healthier. When we think positively, our bodies make things that can keep us away from illness. For example, happy patients often recover faster. Also, positive people like to exercise and eat healthy food, so they stay healthy. Positive thinking is good for our minds, too. Positive people see problems as chances to grow. When they face problems, they try to find ways to solve them. This helps them feel less stressed. For example, if a student fails a test, a positive student will find out what went wrong and study harder. A negative student may just feel bad and give up. Positive thinking can also make our friendships better. Happy people are fun to be with. Their good feelings make others happy. They often help and encourage friends, and friends love them more. We need to practice because it’s not easy to think positively. We can start by watching our thoughts. When we have negative thoughts, we should tell ourselves positive things. For example, don’t say “I can’t do it.” Say “I’ll do my best.” All in all, positive thinking can improve our lives. Let’s try to think positively and live better. 1．What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A．Positive thinking can help prevent illness. B．Happy people never get sick. C．All patients recover faster if they are happy. 2．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Seeing problems as chances to grow. B．Trying to find ways to solve problems. C．Feeling stressed and giving up. 3．What is the structure of the passage? A．总—分—总 B．分—总 C．总—分 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．How to Stay Healthy B．How to Solve Problems C．The Power of Positive Thinking Passage 2 I’ve always looked up to people who achieve great things. When I was a teenager, a friend of my neighbor’s won a marathon. This encouraged me, and I began running three times a week. But then two things changed my mind. First, I met a girl who said she was training for an “ultra-race”—a double marathon of 52.4 miles. The very next day, I ran my longest way ever: 15 miles. To tell the truth, I really didn’t enjoy it! Between her huge goal that made mine seem small, and how tiring and uninteresting running felt, I decided I would only run again if a big dog was running after me. So I started cycling instead. I had a nice bike and rode often. I even thought about joining races—until I visited my sister in San Diego. One day when she was working, I borrowed her bike. The problem was that the roads went through large low areas between hills, and I had to ride for miles with no break. I wasn’t used to anything like that. That day, about 100 local cyclists passed me—they were clearly comfortable on those roads. When I returned home, I suddenly lost interest in cycling. Since then, I’ve grown and learned a lot. Whatever goals I set for myself, they just have to be my own. 根据语篇内容，选择最佳选项。 1．What encouraged the writer to take up running? A．A neighbor’s friend’s success in a long race.

Passage 3 Samuel lived in a small village near a big mountain. He was an ordinary (普通的) man, but he had big dreams and a heart full of hope. Even if life was not easy for him, he always believed hard work could change everything. Every day, Samuel looked at the mountain. It stood high and strong, making him want to be strong too. One day, Samuel decided to climb the mountain. The villagers laughed at him. “You can’t do it!” they said. However, Samuel didn’t let them stop him. With strong determination, he began his journey up the mountain. It was hard, with steep slopes (陡峭的山坡), slippery (滑的) rocks, and unpredictable weather making the journey rather dangerous. Samuel fell lots of times. His leg hurt and he felt very tired, but he didn’t give up. On the way, Samuel met other travelers. They helped each other. Soon, they became brothers, cheering each other up and sharing stories of their hard times and successes. Their friendship made them all stronger. As Samuel climbed higher, the air got thinner, and the challenges grew harder. Samuel felt tired and scared. “Maybe I should stop,”he thought. But then, he remembered his dream. “I must try!” he told himself. With that thought, he moved on, bit by bit. Finally, after days of effort, Samuel reached the top. The view was amazing. He saw green forests and rivers below. The world looked quite different in his eyes, big and beautiful. It was then that Samuel realized the true victory wasn’t just about reaching the top of the mountain. It was a journey. The changes he had experienced mattered most.

Kenyan runner Sebastian Sawe won the men’s championship with a time of 1 hour 59 minutes and 30 seconds. He made history as the first person to complete an official full marathon in 1 (little) than two hours. His great performance cut 65 seconds off the former world record, surprising 2 (fan) and sports experts all over the world. The 30-year-old athlete is from rural Kenya.
