一、阅读理解
Passage A
The relentless pressure to achieve 'success'has created a paradox in modern society.We are
conditioned to believe that success is a linear path,culminating in a high-paying job,a prestigious title,
or widespread recognition.However,a growing body of research in psychology and sociology is
challenging this monolithic view,suggesting that this narrow definition often leads to burnout,anxiety,
and a profound sense of emptiness.Instead,a more sustainable and fulfilling model of success is
emerging-one centered on pupose,mastery,autonomy,and meaningful relationships.
The concept of 'ikigai,a Japanese term that roughly translates to a reason for being,offers a
compelling altemative.Ikigai is not about reaching a final destination but about finding joy and
fulfillment in the joumey itself.It is the intersection of what you love (your passion),what you are
good at (your profession),what the world needs (your mission),and what you can be paid for (your
vocation).This framework encourages individuals to pursue a life that is not just successful in the eyes
of others,but personally meaningful.
()1.What is the main problem with the traditional view of success,according to the passage?
A.It is too expensive to achieve.
B.It focuses only on financial gain
C.It often neglects personal well-being.
D.It is a path for only a few people.
()2.The Japanese concept of ikigai'is presented in the passage as:
A.a specific career path.
B.a way to make more money.
C.a more holistic approach to fulfillment.
D.a theory only applicable in Japan.
()3.According to the 'ikigai'framework,which of the following is NOT a component of a
meaningful life?
A.Mastery of a skill
B.External recognition.
C.Contribution to the world.
D.Personal passion.
()4.What can be inferred from the passage about the relationship between the traditional view of
success and the 'ikigai'model?
A.They are completely opposite and cannot coexist.
B.The 'ikigai'model replaces the need for any career planning.
C.The 'ikigai'model can be seen as a broader,more holistic version of success.
D.The traditional view is a necessary first step towards achieving ikigai'.
Passage B
In the relentless pursuit of a "road to success,"one of the most understated yet critical navigational
tools is the ability to fail productively.Our culture,particularly in high-stakes environments like
education and early careers,often frames failure as a terminal event-a full stop that marks the end of a
journey rather than a comma that allows for a necessary pause and redirection.This perception is not
only damaging to our mental resilience but is also fundamentally at odds with how genuine innovation
and mastery occur.
Neuroscience offers a compelling explanation for the value of failure.When the brain encounters an
eiror,it triggers a specific electrical signal,an "error-related negativity"(ERN),which is a
physiological call to attention.This signal heightens our focus and primes the brain for learning.A
failure isn't just a lack of success;it is a data point.It provides specific information about what
doesn't work,nanowing the field of possibilities and,paradoxically,bringing a successful outcome
closer.Consider the inventor who tests a thousand materials;each "failure"is not a wasted effort but
a crucial dataset that eventually leads to the one material that works.To label these experiments as
failures is to misunderstand the iterative nature of discovery.
The key,therefore,is not to avoid failure,but to change our relationship with it.This involves
developing a "growth mindset,"a concept popularized by psychologist Carol Dweck.Individuals
with a growth mindset see challenges as opportunities to improve their abilities,rather than as threats to
their intelligence.For them,a failure is not a judgment of their inherent worth,but merely a signal that
their current strategy needs adjustment.They ask,"What can I learn from this?"instead of "Why
am I so bad at this?"This subtle shift in questioning transforms the entire leamning process,making it
a resilient,adaptive journey rather than a fragile,ego-driven race to a finish line.For anyone on the
road to success,mastering the art of failing productively is not optional;it is essential.
()1.What is the primary purpose of the passage?
A.To argue that failure is a sign of weakness.
B.To explain why success is impossible without failure.
C.To redefine failure as a valuable learning tool.
D.To compare different types of success.
()2.How does neuroscience support the idea of productive failure?
A.By showing that the brain ignores errors.
B.By proving that failure causes permanent damage.
C.By identifying a brain signal that enhances learning after an error.
D.By demonstrating that successful people have different brains.
()3.The phrase "iterative nature of discovery"in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to:
A.the spontaneous and random process of finding new things.
B.the process of tying,failing,and learning repeatedly.
C.the idea that discovery happens in one single,brilliant moment.
D.the fact that some discoveries are pure luck.
()4.According to the passage,what is the most important question a person with a "growth
mindset"would ask after a failure?
A."How can I avoid this situation in the future?"
B.“Am I cut out for this type of work?”
C.What strategy can I change to do better next time?"
D."Why does this always happen to me?"
二、完形填空
In a world obsessed with measuring success by wealth and fame,the story of John,a middle-aged
accountant,serves as a quiet revolution.For 20 years,he had climbed the corporate ladder,achieving
every milestone society had placed before him:the promotion,the comer office,the company car.Yet,
at the peak of his career,he felt a profound and unsettling 1..He had arived at a destination
he never truly wanted to reach.
The 2.
came during a routine medical check-up.The doctor told him his stress levels were
dangerously high.It was a wake-up call.John started to question the very 3.of his life.
"Who am I working so hard for?"he asked himself.The answer,which slowly 4.on him,
was sobering:he was chasing an illusion of success that belonged to others.
He decided to make a 5.change.He resigned from his high-paying job,a decision that many
of his colleagues deemed 6.He emrolled in a woodworking course,a hobby he had loved as
a child but had long 7..The first few months were hard.His income dropped dramatically,
and he had to leamn a new set of skills from scratch.But his stress vanished.For the first time in years,
he was 8.by his work,not exhausted by it.
John's story is not about abandoning responsibility for a fantasy.It is about 9.
success on
his own terms.He didn't stop working;he simply redefined what work meant to him.His journey is
a powerful reminder that the road to authentic success is not always a straight line upward.Sometimes,
it takes a 10.
step to find a path that truly fits.It's a path where fulfillment is found not in
the 11.
of a goal,but in the joy of the journey itself.His small workshop became his empire,
and the beautiful fumniture he created,his 12.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the passage and answer the questions.
The commencement address is a time-honored tradition,a chance for someone who has "made it"to
impart wisdom to those just starting their journey.Perhaps no address in modem history has resonated
as powerfully as Steve Jobs'2005 speech at Stanford University.It is a masterclass in redefining
success,focusing not on the accumulation of wealth but on the pursuit of passion,the acceptance of
failure,and the awareness of mortality.
Jobs'speech is structured around three personal stories.The first,"Connecting the dots,"tells of
his dropping out of college and auditting a calligraphy class,a seemingly useless detour that later gave
the Mac its beautiful typography.The lesson was that you cannot connect the dots looking forward;
you can only connect them looking backward.You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in
your future.This builds a foundation of faith and intuition-a belief that the path,however winding,
has a purpose.
The second story,"Love and Loss,"recounts his firing from Apple,the company he founded.It was
a public and devastating failure.But instead of drifting into bitteress,Jobs saw it as a reframe,a
chance to start again and focus on what he truly loved.This experience led to the most creative period
of his life with Pixar and NeXT,which eventually led him back to Apple.The fundamental lesson here
was that getting fired was the best thing that could have ever happened to him;the heaviness of being
successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again.
The third story,"About Death,"is perhaps the most profound.Jobs'diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
forced him to confront his own mortality.This,he argued,is the single best tool for avoiding the trap
of worying about other people's opinions."Remembering that you are going to die,"he said,"is
the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.You are already naked.
There is no reason not to follow your heart."His address concludes with the iconic advice,"Stay
Hungry.Stay Foolish."
1.What is the main theme of Jobs'speech as described in the passage?
2.What does the phrase "Connecting the dots"mean in the context of Jobs'first story?
3.How did being fired from Apple benefit Jobs,according to the passage?
4.Why does Jobs say that remembering you are going to die is the best way to avoid a certain trap?
What is the trap?
5.What does the final advice "Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish."embody in the context of the speech?

The Road to Success
To me,success is not merely about accumulating wealth or gaining fame.It is a deeply personal
journey toward fulfillment,defined by the pursuit of one's passion and the positive impact one has on
others.True success is found in the alignment of one's work with one's values.
On this road,the single most essential quality is resilience,or the ability to learn from failure.Success
is rarely a straight line;it is paved with setbacks and disappointments.The courage to get up after a
fall,to analyze what went wrong,and to try a new approach is what separates those who achieve their
dreams from those who abandon them.
I admire the story of J.K.Rowling,whose manuscript for Hany Potter was rejected by twelve
publishers.She did not let these rejections define her or extinguish her passion.She persisted,believing
in her story,and eventually found a publisher who shared her vision.Her "failure"was not a full
stop but a comma in her joumney.Her resilience,not luck,is what ultimately built her remarkable road
to success.
