Consider the story of marathon runners.For decades,the four-minute mile was considered an impossible banier,a limit that the human body could not supass.Runners had tried for years,coming close but always failing.Then on May 6,1954,Roger Bannister ran a mile in 3 minutes 59.4 seconds. What's remarkable is not just Bannister's achievement,but what happened next.Within a year,37 other runners also broke the four-minute mile.The banier wasn't entirely physical;a significant part of it was mental.Once the psychological limit was shattered,others realized it was possible. This phenomenon extends beyond athletics.In cognitive science,the concept of "learned helplessness" shows how we can mentally trap ourselves.If an individual repeatedly experiences failure,they may stop tying altogether,believing that success is impossible,even when circumstances change and success becomes attainable.They have learned to be helpless.The limits are not in the world,but in their perception. Breaking these limits requires a conscious effort to reframe our thinking.Instead of asking "Can I do this?",we should ask "How can I do this?".This shift changes the question from one of possibility to one of strategy.It moves us from a fixed mindset,where we believe our abilities are static,to a growth mindset,where we believe we can develop through dedication and hard work.Furthermore,we must redefine failure not as a dead end,but as a learning opportunity.Every "failure"provides data that can help us adjust our approach and move forward. Ultimately,the concept of "no limits"is not about denying reality.It is about recognizing that most of our limits are temporary and can be overcome with the right strategy,effort,and,most importantly,a belief in our own potential.The first step to breaking a limit is to stop believing it exists. ()1.What does the example of the four-minute mile mainly illustrate? A.The human body is capable of incredible physical feats. B.Many limits are more psychological than physical. C.Training methods have improved significantly over time. D.Roger Bannister was a uniquely talented athlete. ()2.According to the passage,what is "learned helplessness"? A.A condition where one fails to learn new skills. B.A belief that one is unable to change a situation after repeated failures. C.A physical inability to perform a certain task. D.A tendency to give up easily on difficult problems. ()3.What is the key difference between a "fixed mindset"and a "growth mindset"? A.A fixed mindset focuses on natural talent,while a growth mindset focuses on luck. B.A fixed mindset believes abilities are unchangeable,while a growth mindset believes they can be developed. C.A fixed mindset leads to more success,while a growth mindset leads to more failure. D.A fixed mindset is common in athletes,while a growth mindset is common in scientists. ()4.What is the author's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To encourage readers to ignore their physical limitations. B.To argue that all limits are imaginary and should be ignored. C.To explain how to overcome self-imposed mental limits. D.To describe the history of the four-minute mile record. Passage 2 The term "No Limits"is often associated with personal achievement,but it also has profound implications for technological and social progress.Throughout history,every major advancement has been the result of someone challenging the established limits of what was considered possible.From the invention of the wheel to the exploration of space,progress is a story of stepping beyond the known. However,the pursuit of "no limits"is not without its controversies,especially when applied to fields like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence (AD.The ability to edit the human genome with tools like CRISPR offers the potential to eliminate hereditary diseases,pushing back the limits of medicine. Yet,it also raises ethical questions:Where do we draw the line?Is editing for "enhancement,"such as increased intelligence or physical strength,crossing a moral boundary?This represents a limit of a different kind-an ethical one that society must navigate. Similarly,the rapid development of AI challenges our understanding of intelligence and creativity.AI systems can now generate art,compose music,and even write code that is indistinguishable from human output.This pushes the limit of what we thought only humans could do.While this opens up incredible possibilities for efficiency and innovation,it also creates anxiety about job displacement and the very nature of human uniqueness.The limit here is not technological,but social and philosophical. How do we integrate such powerful tools into our society without losing our sense of purpose and control? These examples show that the conversation about limits is complex.While encouraging personal growth and innovation is vital,we must also have a thoughtful dialogue about the limits we choose to set as a society.The question isn't merely "Can we do this?"but also "Should we do this?"The most profound limits are not those of science or physics,but those of wisdom,ethics,and our collective vision for the future of humanity.True progress involves not only breaking old limits but also having the foresight to recognize where new ones are necessary. ()1.What does the author say about the "pursuit of'no limits'"? A.It is a simple and unproblematic concept. B.It has led to all major technological advancements. C.It can raise significant ethical and social questions. D.It is most relevant in the fields of personal development. ()2.What is a major ethical concem regarding genetic engineering mentioned in the passage? A.The high cost of the technology. B.The possibility of eliminating all diseases. C.The use of the technology for human enhancement. D.The difficulty of using tools like CRISPR. ()3.According to the passage,what is the main social challenge posed by advanced AI? A.It cannot match human creativity. B.It is too expensive to develop fully. C.It threatens human job security and our sense of uniqueness. D.It is difficult to distinguish AI-generated content from human-made. ()4.The phrase "draw the line"in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to: A.set a boundary or limit. B.make a sketch or picture. C.describe something in detail. D.attract attention to something. ()5.What is the author's overall message about limits? A.All limits are bad and should be broken. B.The only important limits are physical ones. C.We should break personal limits but set careful ethical and social limits. D.Technological progress should be stopped to avoid ethical problems. 二、完形填空 The idea of "no limits"is inspiring,but applying it to one's life requires a fundamental shift in perspective.It begins with the realization that the greatest barrier to our growth is often the story we tell ourselves.We have a(n)1 narrative about who we are and what we can achieve,a narrative built from past experiences,fears,and the opinions of others.This internal script can be our most powerful 2 or our most significant limitation. To break free,we must first become aware of this inner voice.Whenever a challenge 3 up,listen to the immediate reaction.Does it say,"I can't do this,it's too hard,"or does it ask,"How can I learn to do this?"The former is a voice of 4,while the latter is the voice of possibility. Choosing the path of possibility requires embracing discomfort.Growth never happens in a state of complete comfort.It happens on the 5 of our current abilities,where we feel unsure and vulnerable. Taking on a new project,learning a new language,or speaking in public all involve stepping into the unknown.This feeling is not a 6 to stop;it is a signal that we are expanding our limits Another crucial element is redefining failure.Many of us see failure as a final judgment on our worth. We view it as a dead end rather than a 7.But every successful person has a history of failures.Thomas Edison's thousands of attempts to create the light bulb are a testament to this.He didn't see them as failures;he saw them as steps that 8 what didn't work,bringing him closer to what did. Support systems are also vital.We are not meant to break our limits in isolation.Surrounding ourselves with people who have a growth mindset can provide the encouragement and perspective we need. They can help us see 9 we might only see obstacles.They remind us of our strength when we forget it ourselves. Finally,it's about consistent action.Inspiration is fleeting,but discipline is 10.Setting small,achievable goals builds momentum.Each small success rewrites the internal narrative,proving to ourselves that we are capable of more than we thought.Over time,these small victories 11 into a new,more powerful story The journey to "no limits"is not a destination but a continuous process of learning,adapting,and growing.It's about cultivating the courage to say "yes"to the challenges that 12 us.It's about understanding that our potential is not a fixed 13 to be discovered,but a vast landscape to be explored. The only real limit is the one we place on our own willingness to 14.So,the next time you hear that inner voice telling you that you can't,ask yourself:"15 not?" 1.A.boring B.powerful C.simple D.silent 2.A.supporter B.critic C.enemy D.ally 3.A.gives B.comes C.grows D.picks 4.A.limitation B.encouragement C.excitement D.confusion 5.A.inside B.edge C.bottom D.top 6.A.sign B.chance C.reason D.purpose 7.A.detour B.destination C.step D.start 8.A.discovered B.recognized C.concluded D.eliminated 9.A.opportunities B.problems C.reasons D.results 10.A.temporary B.flexible C.permanent D.optional 11.A.break B.run C.pour D.build 12.A.frighten B.discourage C.scare D.face 13.A.treasure B.target C.amount D.space 14.A.fail B.try C.stop D.wait 15.A.How B.Who C.What D.Why 三、阅读短文回答问题 Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences. Imagine a world where your potential is not defined by your past,your background,or the labels others have given you.This is the world that advocates of "No Limits"envision.It is a philosophy that argues against the idea that our abilities are fixed at birth,insisting instead that they can be cultivated through dedication,strategy,and effort.This philosophy draws heavily on the work of psychologist Carol Dweck,who distinguished between a "fixed mindset"and a "growth mindset." People with a fixed mindset believe their intelligence and talents are static traits.They avoid challenges for fear of failing and revealing a deficiency.Effort is seen as fruitless for those who lack talent,and feedback is often taken as personal criticism.In contrast,those with a growth mindset see challenges as opportunities to grow.They embrace effort as the path to mastery and learn from criticism.For them, failure is not a verdict on their ability but a valuable lesson that provides information for the next attempt. The application of this philosophy extends far beyond the classroom.In the corporate world,companies like Microsoft have shifted their culture to embrace a growth mindset,encouraging employees to lean from mistakes rather than hiding them.In sports,coaches who promote a growth mindset foster resilience in their athletes,helping them bounce back from losses stronger than before.In personal development,it empowers individuals to take on new hobbies later in life,learn new skills,and change careers,proving that it is never too late to expand one's horizons. However,adopting a "No Limits"mindset does not mean ignoring reality.It does not suggest that everyone can become a professional athlete if they try hard enough,as biological and other external factors do play a role.Instead,it argues that we rarely know the true extent of our potential until we push ourselves.The philosophy is a rejection of premature self-judgment and a call to action.It's about giving yourself the permission to ty,to fail,to learn,and to grow.The greatest prison often has no walls,but is built from a single,powerful belief:"I can't." 1.What is the core belief of the "No Limits"philosophy regarding human abilities? 2.How do people with a fixed mindset typically react to challenges and feedback? 3.According to the passage,what practical applications does the growth mindset have in the corporate world and sports? 4.Does the "No Limits"philosophy claim that anyone can achieve anything?Why or why not? 5.What does the author mean by saying "The greatest prison often has no walls"? 四、短文填空 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 concept of "No Limits"is not about(1) reality but about challenging the boundaries we accept without question.It's a call to push past the (2) zone and explore the unknown.To do this effectively,one must first recognize the (3)f that contribute to a limiting mindset,such as fear of failure or a lack of confidence.

To break this limit,I spent hours practicing my speech in front of a mirror,recording myself,and patiently correcting every mistake.I even asked my teacher for feedback,which helped me improve significantly.On the day of the contest,I was nervous,but I managed to deliver my speech fluently.It was not perfect,but I had done it. This experience taught me that our most significant barrier is often our fear.The moment we choose to act despite the fear,we unlock a potential we never knew we had.Limits only exist if we believe in them.
