一、阅读理解
Passage A
In the competitive world of professional cycling,success is often attributed to a combination of physical
strength,mental toughness,and a bit of luck.However,the story of a relatively unknown team,Team
Novo Nordisk,challenges this traditional view.This team is unique:every single one of its riders has
Type 1 diabetes,a condition that requires constant management of blood sugar levels.For them,every
race is not just a physical challenge but a complex physiological balancing act.
The team's mission goes beyond winning medals."We ride to inspire,educate,and empower everyone
affected by diabetes,"says Phil Southerland,the team's co-founder and CEO.Diagnosed with the
condition at seven months old,Southerland was told by doctors that he would never be an athlete.Yet,
he not only became a competitive cyclist but also founded a professional team to prove that diabetes is
not a barrier to achieving excellence.This mission-driven approach provides a powerful sense of
purpose that can fuel extraordinary effort.
The daily routine of a Team Novo Nordisk rider is a testament to discipline.Before dawn,they check
their blood glucose levels.During a 100-mile training ride,they must pause to test again and consume
precise amounts of carbohydrates to fuel their muscles without causing dangerous spikes.Their diet,
sleep,and stress levels are all carefully calibrated to maintain balance.This constant awareness,which
would be a burden for most,is reframed by the riders as an advantage."It forces you to be more in
tune with your body than other athletes might be,"says one rider."You leamn to listen to the signals it
gives you.”
Their approach to success aligns with a growing body of research suggesting that gritthe
combination of passion and perseverance for long-term goals-is a more reliable predictor of success
than raw talent alone.The team's riders have an unusually deep well of grit.Recruited from around the
world,they share a common life experience that has forged an unbreakable will.They have already
overcome their biggest obstacle:a life-altering diagnosis.The daily challenges of cycling,however
demanding,seem manageable by comparison.
This is not to say that talent is irrelevant.The riders possess incredible athletic ability.But their story
highlights that talent,without the engine of purpose and the fuel of perseverance,is like a finely tuned
car with an empty gas tank.Team Novo Nordisk's success is not found in the number of races they
win,but in the lives they change and the ceiling they smash for a community of over 500 million
people worldwide.Their tue victory is a powerful redefinition of what it means to succeed.They
prove that success is not about avoiding difficulty,but about transforming it into your greatest strength.
()1.What makes Team Novo Nordisk unique?
A.They use a new type of bicycle.
B.They all suffer from the same disease.
C.They only race to win medals
D.They are all former Olympic champions.
()2.What was Phil Southerland's main motivation for founding the team?
A.To win the Tour de France.
B.To make a fortune through cycling
C.To challenge the idea that diabetes limits potential.
D.To develop a cure for diabetes through exercise.
()3.The word"grit"in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
A.talent and luck
B.courage and determination
C.physical strength
D.financial support
()4.According to the article,what is the biggest success of Team Novo Nordisk?
A.Winning the most races.
B.Changing people's beliefs about a disease.
C.Developing a new diet plan for cyclists.
D.Recruiting world-class coaches.
()5.What is the main lesson we can learn from this passage?
A.Talent is the most important factor for success.
B.Professional athletes are always healthy.
C.Difficulty can be turned into a strength.
D.Scientific progress has cured all diseases.
Passage B
The classic "rags-to-liches"story is a staple of popular culture,but the path from poverty to prosperity
is rarely a straight line.A fascinating study by economists Raj Chetty and Nathaniel Hendren has used
big data to map out the specific environments that either nurture or hinder economic mobility in the
United States.Their findings challenge the simple nairative that success is purely a matter of individual
effort,suggesting instead that the neighborhood you grow up in can have a profound,measurable
impact on your future income.
The study,which tracked millions of families over decades,found that children who moved to a better
neighborhood at a young age saw significant improvements in their future eamings.The better"
neighborhoods,according to the data,were not simply wealthier ones.Instead,they were characterized
by lower levels of segregation,better schools,more two-parent families,and a higher degree of social
cohesion-a sense that neighbors look out for one another.This last factor,often overlooked,proved
surprisingly powerful.
One of the most striking findings relates to the"childhood exposure effect."The younger the child
when the family moved to a new area,the greater the long-term benefit.This suggests that the
environment of early childhood,during which a person's habits,values,and aspirations are formed,
plays a particularly critical role.A child who spends their early years in a community with high
expectations and strong role models is more likely to internalize those values.Conversely,a child who
grows up in an environment of deep poverty and limited opportunity may develop a"poverty mindset"
that holds them back,regardless of their inherent talent.
The research does not argue that individual effort is unimportant.Of course,motivation,hard work,
and a "growth mindset"are crucial.But the data forces a re-evaluation of the popular pull yourself up
by your bootstraps"mentality.If a child literally cannot learn to read because they attend a failing
school,or if they are exposed to violence on a daily basis,their capacity for upward mobility is
severely constrained.The environment can either supercharge an individual's efforts or act as a
powerful damper.
These findings have significant policy implications.They suggest that investing in improving specific
features of a community-such as school quality,public safety,and access to stable housing-is not a
handout,but a high-return investment in human capital.Creating pathways out of concentrated poverty
is one of the most effective ways to unlock the vast reservoir of untapped potential that exists in
society.The story of success,on a national scale,is not written by individuals alone,but by the
collective creation of communities that give every child a fair chance to thrive.
()1.What is the main purpose of Chetty and Hendren's study?
A.To argue that talent is more important than effort.
B.To show how neighborhoods affect future success.
C.To prove that the“American Dream”is dead,
D.To design a new system for school funding.
()2.According to the study,a "better neighborhood"is characterized by
A.higher levels of segregation
B.more two-parent families and social cohesion
C.larger individual houses
D.a higher population density
()3.What is the "childhood exposure effect'?
A.The idea that children are exposed to different diseases
B.The finding that moving to a better area earlier in life leads to greater benefits.
C.The suggestion that children should be exposed to more subjects in school.
D.The belief that children grow better in warmer climates.
()4.The phrase"poverty mindset"in paragraph 3 likely refers to
A.a set of negative beliefs that can limit achievement
B.a clever strategy for managing limited money
C.a scientific theory about economic development
D.a new teaching method for poor schools
()5.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Individual effort is the only thing that matters for success
B.It is impossible to move from a poor neighborhood to a rich one
C.Improving community conditions is a wise economic investment.
D.The study suggests that moving to a new city always solves problems.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences
At the age of 18,most high school students are focused on choosing a college.But for Shubham
Banerjee,a then 12-year-old boy from California,the problem was much more immediate:how to help
the visually impaired.After meeting a woman at a tech fair who told him how expensive Braille
printers were,Banerjee was determined to find a cheaper solution.Standard Braille printers at the time
cost over $2,000,putting them out of reach for many blind people in developing countries.
Working out of his family garage with a LEGO robotics kit,Banerjee began experimenting.His goal
was to create a printer that could convert digital text into raised Braille dots on paper.After months of
hard work,he built a prototype.He called it the"Braigo,"a combination of"Braille"and "LEGO."
The machine was a proof of concept,but it was slower and less robust than commercial models.It did,
however,cost less than $350 to build.
Instead of keeping his creation a secret,Banerjee decided to share his plans online.He posted the entire
design and software code for free,hoping that others could improve upon his work."I don't need to
make money from it,"he said in an interview at the time."I just want to make a device that helps
people."His open-source approach attracted the attention of Intel,which invested in his project.
Banerjee then founded his own company,Braigo Labs,to develop a more advanced version.
Banerjee's story is not just about a young prodigy's technological skill.It is a powerful example of the
success that comes from a combination of empathy,creativity,and action.He saw a human need and
used his passion for engineering to address it.His journey shows that success is not always defined by
personal wealth or fame,but by the positive impact one has on the world.He proved that age is no
barrier to making a difference.
1.What problem did Shubham Banerjee want to solve?
2.How did Banerjee's first prototype,"Braigo,"differ from standard Braille printers?
3.What did Banerjee decide to do with his invention's design and software code?
4.What key qualities does the author credit for Banerjee's success?
5.What is the main message of the passage regarding the definition of success?
