The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mochizuki If you love cosy, fantasy books, this Japanese fiction is a treat. The Full Moon is not your typical coffee shop, but a magical one run by talking cats that only appear on full moon nights, when someone needs them the most. Inviting three customers who are at a crossroads in their life, what wordy wisdom will the furry animals have to offer them? The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins If you used TikTok in 2024, your feed was likely full of praise for a new mindset tool called “The Let Them Theory”. Invented by motivational speaker Mel Robbins, the idea is to free yourself from trying to control what you can’t, and focus on what you can. In her book, Mel explores how this popular tool came to life and shows how to apply it to eight key areas of life, with insights from leading experts. Nine Minds: Inner Lives on the Spectrum (谱系) by Daniel Tammet From a surgeon to a bestselling novelist, Nine Minds digs into the extraordinary lives of nine men and women from around the world who have one thing in common: they are all on the autism (自闭症) spectrum. In sharing their experiences and how they view the world, it overturns stereotypes and celebrates the beauty in what sets them apart. Dogs and Their Humans: Stories of Healing by Noel Fitzpatrick The love we have for our pets is beyond words, and Noel Fitzpatrick knows this only too well as a vet surgeon of 30 years. Sharing stories of healing and hope from his practice, including entertaining ones which will make you laugh out loud, the book is strong evidence of how deep this connection is. 21．What is the main purpose of Mel Robbins’ book? A．To free readers from daily stress. B．To share insights from eight leading experts. C．To advise readers to stop controlling their lives. D．To offer practical ways to apply a mindset tool in life. 22．What do Nine Minds and Dogs and Their Humans have in common? A．Describing the lives of famous novelists.

A．Employees seeking career advice. B．Students studying modern fiction. C．Researchers focusing on animals. D．Readers looking for personal growth. B She’s dived in Iceland and Indonesia, gone hiking in Africa and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. So when Cindy Abbott saw a television special on Qomolangma, she knew that would be her next adventure. Abbott, 51, contacted a coach about how to train for the climb. But five months later, she suddenly lost the vision in her left eye. Losing her eyesight was another symptom (症状) that doctors could not explain in her 15 years of living with Wegener’s granulomatosis, a rare disease that affects one in 30, 000 people. “The blindness was a good thing in a way because I got diagnosed ( 诊 断),” said Abbott, who lives in Orange County, California. There is no cure for Wegener’s granulomatosis. But her diagnosis did not mean the end to her dream of climbing Qomolangma. Instead, Abbott continued her training climbs. She decided to make her Qomolangma climb an awareness and fundraising campaign for Wegener’s granulomatosis and other rare diseases. “We have no drugs that are specific for our diseases,” said Abbott. “There’s no money in the drug companies to research to make a drug.” Abbott said this adventure is not just about the physical challenges. “When you get up on that mountain it’s only about half physical, and the rest mental, because of the suffering, the extreme days, the extreme environment and being away from your family,” said Abbott. “It was just the most amazing feeling,” said Abbot in a satellite phone call after reaching the peak. “You look out and know that you’re on top of the world.” Making her way down was even more treacherous than reaching the top. Sight problems meant she climbed down the ice wall practically blind. And aside from that, she suffered only some minor injuries and frostbite (冻伤). Abbott returned to Southern California about a week after reaching the top of Qomolangma. But she won’t be home for long. Next up: taking her husband on a diving trip. 24．What do we know about Abbott when she was 51? A．She became blind in her left eye suddenly. B．She decided to be a professional adventurer. C．She was fired from her job as a climbing guide. D．She was invited to record a TV program on Qomolangma. 25．Why did Abbott decide to climb Qomolangma? A．To build friendships with other climbers. B．To draw public attention to rare diseases. C．To realize her husband’s childhood dream. D．To carry out research on Wegener’s granulomatosis. 26．What does the underlined word “treacherous” mean in paragraph 8? A．Exciting. B．Important. C．Boring. D．Dangerous. 27．Which of the following words can best describe Abbott? A．Brave and honest. B．Humorous and friendly. C．Positive and strong-minded. D．Knowledgeable and nature-loving. C We have often heard that “work smart and not hard”．Does only smart work bring you success? And if so, then why are so many of us still busy putting our blood and sweat into working hard? Here, we’ll discuss hard work and smart work. Hard work is all about consistently working towards a particular goal irrespective (不考虑的) of its worth, not being worried about the result and not using any means to reduce your effort. Hard work requires a lot of commitment (投入) and sincerity from the person. Although being boring and tiresome, it can give you the best results if it is done with heart and soul. One of the preconditions of smart work is having in­depth knowledge or experience of the work in hand, because that allows you to look for efficient ways to do the work in a planned time. Being a smart worker saves a lot of time as you can find means to reduce your work by using logical and innovative ways to achieve your goals. Besides, it also gives you enough time to learn a new task while completing the present one. Although it seems that smart work is a better option, what we forget is that smart work is the fruit of hard work. Only when you work hard can you gather the expertise (专门技能) and the knowledge to understand the work in hand and efficiently improve on it and work smartly. You will attain great heights and lead a better and comfortable life if you combine both smart and hard work together. If you are not smart, your hard work will never pay. A donkey only does hard work, while a horse does hard work and uses its smartness whenever and wherever it needs. In a similar way, smart work is the result of hard work. To master the quality of smart work, you really need to work hard. Through hard work, we gain experience which helps us discover new things that may make us work smartly. The effort is important，but where to make that effort makes a difference. 28．What can we learn about hard workers from Paragraph 2? A．They lack proper work skills. B．They always have great patience. C．They tend to ignore the goal of work. D．They can obtain excellent results from their work if they work with heart and soul. 29．How can smart workers save a lot of time? A．By making a sensible plan. B．By making use of innovative ways. C．By learning experience from others. D．By getting inspiration from a new task. 30．What does the author think of hard work? A．It is inspiring. B．It is ineffective. C．It is challenging. D．It is fundamental. 31．What does the example of donkey in Paragraph 5 intend to show? A．It is useless to work hard. B．It is necessary to work smartly. C．The efforts you make matter most. D．The horse is cleverer than the donkey. D David Uttal, a scientist at Northwestern University, has always been poor at finding his way. At 13, he got lost on a Boy Scout hike for two and a half days. The world is full of people like Uttal — and their opposites, the folks who always seem to know exactly where they are and how to get where they want to go. These differences are obvious but explaining them has proved challenging. Now, research using virtual reality suggests that to some extent, navigational (导航的) skills are shaped by upbringing. A 2020 study highlighted this. The researchers compared the performance of more than 2,600 twins as they navigated through a virtual environment to test whether navigational ability runs in families. It does, they found — but only modestly. Instead, the biggest contributor to people’s performance was what geneticists call “nonshared environmental factors” — the unique experiences each person accumulates as their life unfolds. Good navigators, it appears, are mostly made, not born. Another large-scale experiment provided further insight. Researchers developed a smartphone game, “Sea Hero Quest”, in which players navigate through a virtual environment to locate checkpoints. Based on data from nearly four million players worldwide, they discovered that cultural factors were linked to way-finding skills. People from Nordic countries, where the navigation sport of orienteering is popular, performed slightly better. Results like these suggest that life experience may be one of the biggest determinants of navigational ability. Indeed, experience may even underlie one of the most consistent findings in navigation: men tend to perform better than women. It turns out that gender gap is more a question of culture and experience than of born ability. Nordic countries, for example, where gender equality is greatest, show almost no gender difference in navigation. In contrast, men far outperform women in places where women face cultural restrictions on exploring their environment. To Uttal, these findings carry an optimistic implication. “The good news is that navigation is trainable,” he notes, “It’s never too late to become a better navigator. You just need to give yourself opportunities to explore and pay attention to your surroundings.” 32．What did the 2020 study on twins reveal about navigational ability? A．It is largely determined by genes. B．It remains constant in a person’s life. C．It varies little among individuals. D．It is learned through experience. 33．How was the “Sea Hero Quest” experiment conducted? A．By testing brain activity during play. B．By analyzing smartphone game data. C．By comparing the Nordics with others. D．By observing how players navigate. 34．Why do men often outperform women in navigation? A．Men benefit from practicing sports. B．Women lack interest in doing so. C．Men possess stronger space memory. D．Women have fewer chances to explore. 35．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．What Can “Sea Hero Quest” Teach Us? B．How Does VR Improve Navigational Skills? C．Why Do Some People Always Get Lost? D．Who Are Better Navigators: Men or Women? 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One constant thing in life is that sooner or later, there will be a test. Many times, the only way to measure comprehension is through objective testing, and that can cause anxiety in even the most well­-prepared student. 36 Many of them have little to do with the actual test items. One test-­taking tip involves anxiety reduction and physical relaxation. Whenever possible, visit the area in which the testing will take place. Familiarize yourself with the surrounding sounds of the room, the seating arrangements, the lighting levels and so on.Some people do not do well on tests if they are overwhelmed (使不知所措) by an unfamiliar test­-taking environment. 37 Some people do benefit from studying late into the night before testing. 38 Consuming power drinks or other highly caffeinated (含咖啡因的) drinks won’t necessarily help a person remember information if he does not take time to sleep. So get enough rest and eat a healthy meal before taking an objective test. 39 If there is a strict time limit on a test section, you may want to skim through the questions quickly and complete the easiest ones first. By getting those questions out of the way, more time can be spent on the difficult or unfamiliar questions. If there is an official study guide or test preparation book, get one. 40 Sample questions can prove very useful when you’re taking standardized tests such as college entrance exams. A．More exercises before tests are always your choice. B．A positive attitude goes a long way toward test success. C．Time management is important when you're taking objective tests. D．So it pays to become familiar with the surroundings ahead of time. E．It may contain test­-taking tips specific to the demands of the actual test. F．However, the mind needs some time to process the flood of information it receives. G．There are some test-­taking tips which can take much of the stress out of the testing process. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 We celebrate successful people around us, but what characteristics make successful people 41 ? While they may have plans and strategies, the first step towards success is the courage to 42 . And many examples prove that this is 43 for you to achieve your goals. Consider this: if a high school senior passes a kindergarten math exam, it’s not seen as an 44 because the challenge is too easy. However, if the same student passes a college-level exam, that’s a true success. 45 , every worthwhile goal must challenge us beyond our current abilities. Many people 46 starting because they fear failure and focus only on what could go 47 . They forget to consider the positive aspect.

Think about the goals you haven’t 52 yet — starting a business, applying for a job, or writing a book. Often, the fear of failure holds us back. 53 asking, “What if I fail? ”, ask “How can I succeed?” By 54 your mindset (思维模式), you enable yourself to take action and move closer to your goals. The next time 55 arises, remember: What if you try and succeed? 41．A．step aside B．stand out C．cheer up D．calm down 42．A．fail B．stop C．change D．dream 43．A．legal B．optional C．necessary D．acceptable 44．A．achievement B．assessment C．exploration D．adjustment 45．A．Gradually B．Luckily C．Finally D．Similarly 46．A．consider B．avoid C．regret D．risk 47．A．fast B．normally C．smoothly D．wrong 48．A．expected B．guaranteed C．evaluated D．recognized 49．A．overcoming B．hiding C．understanding D．checking 50．A．refuse B．wonder C．wait D．try 51．A．reason B．experience C．probability D．right 52．A．pursued B．shared C．appreciated D．judged 53．A．As for B．Instead of C．In addition to D．By comparison with 54．A．examining B．treasuring C．shifting D．preserving 55．A．danger B．accident C．inspiration D．doubt 第二节（共10小题：每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 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。 Benjamin Lou is a computer scientist and advocate who was born with a rare genetic disorder called spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which affects the muscles 56 (use) for moving the body.

How did I wind up on a ladder hanging above the Hudson River? It was my friend who invited me to the Bungee Jumping class. At first, I was doubtful, but her enthusiasm and guarantees of strict safety procedures won me over. I had been fearful of heights since primary school. Avoiding my fear of heights became second nature. I tried not to look down at balconies or staircases. I avoided traveling by plane as much as possible. I declined invitations from friends to join them on roller coasters (过山车). But here I was, at age twenty-six, facing my fear of heights in a rather extreme way. I had come around to the idea of trying Bungee Jumping. I figured it wasn’t much different from swinging on the monkey bars as a kid. The one obstacle I didn’t expect was the ladder. In order to reach the Bungee Jumping, I had to climb up a twenty-two-foot ladder. My friend’s distraction techniques helped to take my mind off my dangerous task. I found a rhythm and kept going. With a slow and steady (稳定的) pace, I made it to the top. An instructor tied me to a safety belt and told me to step to the edge of the platform. I held the Bungee Jumping bar with sweaty hands, surprised that it was too thick to fix my hand around. Instead of a firm grasp, my hands were in a weak, bear-claw position. The cheers from my classmates rang out below. An instructor reminded me of the safety rules, including the net below that would catch me at the bottom. He reminded me to listen to the directions while in the air, so I could perform well. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stood face to face with my fear of heights. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My second round of Bungee Jumping went a bit more smoothly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共12页） 试题 第4页（共12页） 试题 第1页（共12页） 试题 第2页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Who did you say was coming over today?

It was a cold day during the winter vacation. When I was enjoying the fantastic view of the Great Wall, a middle-­aged foreigner came to me and asked if I could tell him something about the wall. Encouraged by the guide, I gave him a vivid description of the history of the Great Wall in English. The man felt pleased and kept expressing his admiration, saying that it was a marvelous wonder in the world. I felt proud at that moment, not only because I was helpful to a foreigner, but also because I, as a Chinese, could spread our splendid culture to the world. 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 参考范文 I stood face-to-face with my fear of heights. The realization that this was something I would have to do alone not only gave me some discomfort, but also a bit of pride. If I made it through the class, I would finish something in the face of my fear. As the instructor counted down, I took a deep breath and was pushed off the platform. The air rushed into my lungs. I lost awareness of time and space and let the force of the Bungee Jumping swing me up and down. I dropped onto the net tremblingly and began walking with my shaky legs. Finally, I made it! My second round of Bungee Jumping went a bit more smoothly. My hands and legs didn’t shake anymore. Even at the moment of jumping off the platform, my eyes were open and I saw the water coming towards me directly. An inexperienced thrill filled my whole body immediately. While my fear of heights was still with me, this experience opened up a new way of seeing myself and approaching challenges. I became more open to trying new things. I’m more capable than my fears let me believe I am. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026-2027学年高二选择性必修第一册英语单元自测 Unit 2 Onwards and upwards·单元自测卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：120分钟，满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分1.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1． Who will come over today?

If it gives me my senses back, I’ll do it. W: Well, taste is strongly tied with the sense of smell. The idea behind the experiment is to have you working out your nose. You will start with strong smells and move to weaker ones in order to train your nose to work again. M: And that will help me taste things? Wouldn’t it be better to eat really strong food or drinks? W: No, it wouldn’t. You need to gain the strength back little by little. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 18．What does Dr. Osborn probably study? A．Animals on land. B．The quality of cameras.

Dr. Karen Osborn said that she couldn’t get a good shot — just shapes. Her detailed study of the animal’s “super-black” skin revealed that it traps light. While it makes them difficult to photograph, scientists say it provides the best way of hiding. There is, Dr. Osborn explained, nowhere to hide from enemies in the deep ocean, so this “super-blackness” makes creatures almost invisible.

Living in the deep sea is like playing hide-and-seek. Being so black really helps these creatures to survive. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A From a Japanese best-selling novel to a liberating read enabling you to take control of your own happiness, we share four books to add to your “me-time” moments. The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mochizuki If you love cosy, fantasy books, this Japanese fiction is a treat. The Full Moon is not your typical coffee shop, but a magical one run by talking cats that only appear on full moon nights, when someone needs them the most. Inviting three customers who are at a crossroads in their life, what wordy wisdom will the furry animals have to offer them? The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins If you used TikTok in 2024, your feed was likely full of praise for a new mindset tool called “The Let Them Theory”. Invented by motivational speaker Mel Robbins, the idea is to free yourself from trying to control what you can’t, and focus on what you can. In her book, Mel explores how this popular tool came to life and shows how to apply it to eight key areas of life, with insights from leading experts. Nine Minds: Inner Lives on the Spectrum (谱系) by Daniel Tammet From a surgeon to a bestselling novelist, Nine Minds digs into the extraordinary lives of nine men and women from around the world who have one thing in common: they are all on the autism (自闭症) spectrum. In sharing their experiences and how they view the world, it overturns stereotypes and celebrates the beauty in what sets them apart. Dogs and Their Humans: Stories of Healing by Noel Fitzpatrick The love we have for our pets is beyond words, and Noel Fitzpatrick knows this only too well as a vet surgeon of 30 years. Sharing stories of healing and hope from his practice, including entertaining ones which will make you laugh out loud, the book is strong evidence of how deep this connection is. 21．What is the main purpose of Mel Robbins’ book? A．To free readers from daily stress. B．To share insights from eight leading experts. C．To advise readers to stop controlling their lives. D．To offer practical ways to apply a mindset tool in life. 22．What do Nine Minds and Dogs and Their Humans have in common? A．Describing the lives of famous novelists. B．Including funny stories to amuse readers. C．Telling real-life stories to spread positivity. D．Offering professional advice on medical care. 23．Who would benefit most from reading this text? A．Employees seeking career advice. B．Students studying modern fiction. C．Researchers focusing on animals. D．Readers looking for personal growth. 【答案】21．D 22．C 23．D 【导语】本文推荐四本治愈成长类读物，含奇幻小说、心态指南、自闭症纪实与宠物治愈故事，适合独处阅读，帮助读者调整心态、理解自我与他人。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第三段“In her book, Mel explores how this popular tool came to life and shows how to apply it to eight key areas of life, with insights from leading experts.(在她的书中，梅尔探讨了这一流行工具的诞生过程，并结合顶尖专家的见解，展示了如何将其应用于生活的八个关键领域)”可知，梅尔·罗宾斯的书的主要目的是提供在生活实践中应用思维工具的实际方法。 22．细节理解题。根据第四段“In sharing their experiences and how they view the world, it overturns stereotypes and celebrates the beauty in what sets them apart.(在分享他们的经历以及他们对世界的看法时，这种表达打破了刻板印象，颂扬了使他们与众不同的美好之处)”以及最后一段“Sharing stories of healing and hope from his practice, including entertaining ones which will make you laugh out loud, the book is strong evidence of how deep this connection is.(书中分享了他执业过程中治愈与希望的故事，其中不乏令人开怀大笑的趣事，充分证明了这种联系是多么深厚)”可知，两者都通过讲述真实生活的故事来传递积极向上的力量。 23．细节理解题。根据第一段“From a Japanese best-selling novel to a liberating read enabling you to take control of your own happiness, we share four books to add to your “me-time” moments.(从一部日本畅销小说，到一本让你重获自由、掌控自身幸福的读物，我们为您推荐四本值得加入“独处时光”的好书)”以及四本书分别治愈心灵、调整心态、理解特殊群体、感悟人与宠物羁绊，可知，寻求个人成长的读者最能从阅读本文中受益。 B She’s dived in Iceland and Indonesia, gone hiking in Africa and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. So when Cindy Abbott saw a television special on Qomolangma, she knew that would be her next adventure. Abbott, 51, contacted a coach about how to train for the climb. But five months later, she suddenly lost the vision in her left eye. Losing her eyesight was another symptom (症状) that doctors could not explain in her 15 years of living with Wegener’s granulomatosis, a rare disease that affects one in 30, 000 people. “The blindness was a good thing in a way because I got diagnosed ( 诊 断),” said Abbott, who lives in Orange County, California. There is no cure for Wegener’s granulomatosis. But her diagnosis did not mean the end to her dream of climbing Qomolangma. Instead, Abbott continued her training climbs. She decided to make her Qomolangma climb an awareness and fundraising campaign for Wegener’s granulomatosis and other rare diseases. “We have no drugs that are specific for our diseases,” said Abbott. “There’s no money in the drug companies to research to make a drug.” Abbott said this adventure is not just about the physical challenges. “When you get up on that mountain it’s only about half physical, and the rest mental, because of the suffering, the extreme days, the extreme environment and being away from your family,” said Abbott. “It was just the most amazing feeling,” said Abbot in a satellite phone call after reaching the peak. “You look out and know that you’re on top of the world.” Making her way down was even more treacherous than reaching the top. Sight problems meant she climbed down the ice wall practically blind. And aside from that, she suffered only some minor injuries and frostbite (冻伤). Abbott returned to Southern California about a week after reaching the top of Qomolangma. But she won’t be home for long. Next up: taking her husband on a diving trip. 24．What do we know about Abbott when she was 51? A．She became blind in her left eye suddenly. B．She decided to be a professional adventurer. C．She was fired from her job as a climbing guide. D．She was invited to record a TV program on Qomolangma. 25．Why did Abbott decide to climb Qomolangma? A．To build friendships with other climbers. B．To draw public attention to rare diseases. C．To realize her husband’s childhood dream. D．To carry out research on Wegener’s granulomatosis. 26．What does the underlined word “treacherous” mean in paragraph 8? A．Exciting. B．Important. C．Boring. D．Dangerous. 27．Which of the following words can best describe Abbott? A．Brave and honest. B．Humorous and friendly. C．Positive and strong-minded. D．Knowledgeable and nature-loving. 【答案】24．A 25．B 26．D 27．C 【导语】本文是记叙文。由于罕见疾病而不幸左眼失明的Abbott凭借顽强的毅力成功征服了世界之巅。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But five months later, she suddenly lost the vision in her left eye (但是五个月之后，她突然失去了左眼的视力。)”可知，Abbott在51岁时不幸左眼失明。故选A项。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“She decided to make her Qomolangma climb an awareness and fundraising campaign for Wegener’s granulomatosis and other rare diseases (她决定将她的珠穆朗玛峰攀登之旅变成一次为韦格纳肉芽肿和其他罕见疾病进行的意识提升和筹款活动。)”可知，Abbott想通过攀登珠峰让公众关注罕见病。故选B项。 26．词句猜测题。根据第八段中的“Sight problems meant she climbed down the ice wall practically blind. And aside from that, she suffered only some minor injuries and frostbite (视力问题意味着她在下降冰壁时几乎是盲目的。除了这一点，她还遭受了一些轻微的伤害和冻伤。)”可知，对Abbott来说，下山比上山更危险。treacherous意为“有潜在危险的”。practically几乎; aside from ... 除……之外。故选D项。 27．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The blindness was a good thing in a way、第四段中的But her diagnosis did not mean the end to her dream of climbing Qomolangma. Instead, Abbott continued her training climbs (失明在某种程度上是一件好事。但是，她的诊断并不意味着她攀登珠穆朗玛峰的梦想结束。相反，艾博特继续她的训练攀登。)”以及最后一段中的“But she won’t be home for long. Next up: taking her husband on a diving trip (但她不会在家待太久。接下来：带她丈夫去潜水旅行。)”可知，Abbott虽然身患罕见疾病，左眼不幸失明，但是她并没有被疾病打倒，反而成功征服了世界之巅，因此Abbott是一位积极乐观并且意志坚定的人。故选C项。 C We have often heard that “work smart and not hard”．Does only smart work bring you success? And if so, then why are so many of us still busy putting our blood and sweat into working hard? Here, we’ll discuss hard work and smart work. Hard work is all about consistently working towards a particular goal irrespective (不考虑的) of its worth, not being worried about the result and not using any means to reduce your effort. Hard work requires a lot of commitment (投入) and sincerity from the person. Although being boring and tiresome, it can give you the best results if it is done with heart and soul. One of the preconditions of smart work is having in­depth knowledge or experience of the work in hand, because that allows you to look for efficient ways to do the work in a planned time. Being a smart worker saves a lot of time as you can find means to reduce your work by using logical and innovative ways to achieve your goals. Besides, it also gives you enough time to learn a new task while completing the present one. Although it seems that smart work is a better option, what we forget is that smart work is the fruit of hard work. Only when you work hard can you gather the expertise (专门技能) and the knowledge to understand the work in hand and efficiently improve on it and work smartly. You will attain great heights and lead a better and comfortable life if you combine both smart and hard work together. If you are not smart, your hard work will never pay. A donkey only does hard work, while a horse does hard work and uses its smartness whenever and wherever it needs. In a similar way, smart work is the result of hard work. To master the quality of smart work, you really need to work hard. Through hard work, we gain experience which helps us discover new things that may make us work smartly. The effort is important，but where to make that effort makes a difference. 28．What can we learn about hard workers from Paragraph 2? A．They lack proper work skills. B．They always have great patience. C．They tend to ignore the goal of work. D．They can obtain excellent results from their work if they work with heart and soul. 29．How can smart workers save a lot of time? A．By making a sensible plan. B．By making use of innovative ways. C．By learning experience from others. D．By getting inspiration from a new task. 30．What does the author think of hard work? A．It is inspiring. B．It is ineffective. C．It is challenging. D．It is fundamental. 31．What does the example of donkey in Paragraph 5 intend to show? A．It is useless to work hard. B．It is necessary to work smartly. C．The efforts you make matter most. D．The horse is cleverer than the donkey. 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．D 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了勤奋地工作和聪明地工作的特点，并表示工作方式的改进需要将两者结合起来。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Although being boring and tiresome, it can give you the best results if it is done with heart and soul. (虽然它是无聊和令人厌倦的，但如果你全心全意地去做，它可以给你最好的结果。)”可知，勤奋的工作者如果全心全意地工作，他们可以获得好结果。故选D项。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Being a smart worker saves a lot of time as you can find means to reduce your work by using logical and innovative ways to achieve your goals. (作一个聪明的员工可以节省很多时间，因为你可以通过使用逻辑和创新的方法来实现你的目标，从而来减少你的工作)”可知，聪明工作的人可以通过创造性的方式节省大量的时间。故选B项。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Although it seems that smart work is a better option, what we forget is that smart work is the fruit of hard work. Only when you work hard can you gather the expertise(专门技能) and the knowledge to understand the work in hand and efficiently improve on it and work smartly.(虽然聪明的工作似乎是一个更好的选择，但我们忘记了，聪明的工作是努力工作的成果。只有当你努力工作时，你才能收集到专业技能和知识来理解手头的工作，并有效地改进它，并聪明地工作。)”可推断，作者认为勤奋工作是根本。故选D项。 31．推理判断题。根据第五段中的“A donkey only does hard work, while a horse does hard work and uses its smartness whenever and wherever it needs. In a similar way, smart work is the result of hard work. To master the quality of smart work, you really need to work hard. Through hard work, we gain experience which helps us discover new things that may make us work smartly.The effort is important，but where to make that effort makes a difference.( 驴子只做艰苦的工作，而马做艰苦的工作，并随时随地使用它的聪明才智。同样，聪明的工作是努力工作的结果。要掌握智能工作的质量，你真的需要努力工作。通过努力工作，我们获得经验，这有助于我们发现新事物，使我们更聪明地工作。努力很重要，但在哪里努力是重要的)”可知，作者讲述驴子的例子是为说明聪明的工作是努力工作的结果，努力工作是重要的，但是知道在哪里努力也是重要的，因此推断这个例子是用说明聪明的工作是必要的。故选B。 D David Uttal, a scientist at Northwestern University, has always been poor at finding his way. At 13, he got lost on a Boy Scout hike for two and a half days. The world is full of people like Uttal — and their opposites, the folks who always seem to know exactly where they are and how to get where they want to go. These differences are obvious but explaining them has proved challenging. Now, research using virtual reality suggests that to some extent, navigational (导航的) skills are shaped by upbringing. A 2020 study highlighted this. The researchers compared the performance of more than 2,600 twins as they navigated through a virtual environment to test whether navigational ability runs in families. It does, they found — but only modestly. Instead, the biggest contributor to people’s performance was what geneticists call “nonshared environmental factors” — the unique experiences each person accumulates as their life unfolds. Good navigators, it appears, are mostly made, not born. Another large-scale experiment provided further insight. Researchers developed a smartphone game, “Sea Hero Quest”, in which players navigate through a virtual environment to locate checkpoints. Based on data from nearly four million players worldwide, they discovered that cultural factors were linked to way-finding skills. People from Nordic countries, where the navigation sport of orienteering is popular, performed slightly better. Results like these suggest that life experience may be one of the biggest determinants of navigational ability. Indeed, experience may even underlie one of the most consistent findings in navigation: men tend to perform better than women. It turns out that gender gap is more a question of culture and experience than of born ability. Nordic countries, for example, where gender equality is greatest, show almost no gender difference in navigation. In contrast, men far outperform women in places where women face cultural restrictions on exploring their environment. To Uttal, these findings carry an optimistic implication. “The good news is that navigation is trainable,” he notes, “It’s never too late to become a better navigator. You just need to give yourself opportunities to explore and pay attention to your surroundings.” 32．What did the 2020 study on twins reveal about navigational ability? A．It is largely determined by genes. B．It remains constant in a person’s life. C．It varies little among individuals. D．It is learned through experience. 33．How was the “Sea Hero Quest” experiment conducted? A．By testing brain activity during play. B．By analyzing smartphone game data. C．By comparing the Nordics with others. D．By observing how players navigate. 34．Why do men often outperform women in navigation? A．Men benefit from practicing sports. B．Women lack interest in doing so. C．Men possess stronger space memory. D．Women have fewer chances to explore. 35．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．What Can “Sea Hero Quest” Teach Us? B．How Does VR Improve Navigational Skills? C．Why Do Some People Always Get Lost? D．Who Are Better Navigators: Men or Women? 【答案】32．D 33．B 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文主要介绍人的导航能力差异并非主要由先天基因决定，而是更多受成长经历、文化环境和探索机会等后天因素影响，且导航能力可以通过后天训练提升。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Instead, the biggest contributor to people’s performance was what geneticists call “nonshared environmental factors” — the unique experiences each person accumulates as their life unfolds. Good navigators, it appears, are mostly made, not born.(相反，影响人们表现的最大因素是遗传学家所称的“非共享环境因素”——即每个人在人生历程中积累的独特经验。看来，优秀的导航者大多是后天塑造的，而非天生的。)”可知，2020年的双胞胎研究揭示了导航能力主要是通过后天经验习得的。 33．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Researchers developed a smartphone game, “Sea Hero Quest”, in which players navigate through a virtual environment to locate checkpoints. Based on data from nearly four million players worldwide, they discovered that cultural factors were linked to way-finding skills.(研究人员开发了一款手机游戏“Sea Hero Quest”，在游戏中玩家穿行虚拟环境来定位检查点。基于全球近四百万玩家的数据，他们发现文化因素与寻路能力相关。)”可知，该实验是通过分析智能手机游戏的数据进行的。 34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“In contrast, men far outperform women in places where women face cultural restrictions on exploring their environment.(相比之下，在女性探索环境受到文化限制的地区，男性的导航能力远优于女性。)”可推知，男女导航能力出现差距，是因为女性缺少探索环境的机会。 35．主旨大意题。文章开篇以“有些人总是迷路”这一现象设问，随后通过多项研究解释了导航能力的成因（后天经验与文化因素），回应了开篇的疑问。C选项“Why Do Some People Always Get Lost?(为什么有些人总是迷路？)”既紧扣开篇引入，又涵盖了全文对原因的科学探究，适合作标题。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One constant thing in life is that sooner or later, there will be a test. Many times, the only way to measure comprehension is through objective testing, and that can cause anxiety in even the most well­-prepared student. 36 Many of them have little to do with the actual test items. One test-­taking tip involves anxiety reduction and physical relaxation. Whenever possible, visit the area in which the testing will take place. Familiarize yourself with the surrounding sounds of the room, the seating arrangements, the lighting levels and so on.Some people do not do well on tests if they are overwhelmed (使不知所措) by an unfamiliar test­-taking environment. 37 Some people do benefit from studying late into the night before testing. 38 Consuming power drinks or other highly caffeinated (含咖啡因的) drinks won’t necessarily help a person remember information if he does not take time to sleep. So get enough rest and eat a healthy meal before taking an objective test. 39 If there is a strict time limit on a test section, you may want to skim through the questions quickly and complete the easiest ones first. By getting those questions out of the way, more time can be spent on the difficult or unfamiliar questions. If there is an official study guide or test preparation book, get one. 40 Sample questions can prove very useful when you’re taking standardized tests such as college entrance exams. A．More exercises before tests are always your choice. B．A positive attitude goes a long way toward test success. C．Time management is important when you're taking objective tests. D．So it pays to become familiar with the surroundings ahead of time. E．It may contain test­-taking tips specific to the demands of the actual test. F．However, the mind needs some time to process the flood of information it receives. G．There are some test-­taking tips which can take much of the stress out of the testing process. 【答案】36．G 37．D 38．F 39．C 40．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了一些应对考试的技巧。 【详解】36．上文“Many times, the only way to measure comprehension is through objective testing, and that can cause anxiety in even the most well­prepared student.(很多时候，衡量理解的唯一方法是通过客观的测试，这可能会导致焦虑，即使是最充分准备的学生)”提到考试会导致学生焦虑，结合下文介绍应对考试的技巧可知，G项“这里有一些考试技巧可以帮你减轻考试过程中的压力”承上启下，且下文“Many of them have little to do with the actual test items.(其中许多与实际的测试项目没有什么关系)”是对G项内容的补充解释，下文中的“them”指代G项中的“test­taking tips”，故选G。 37．此空位于段尾，与上文存在因果关系，上文“Some people do not do well on tests if they are overwhelmed (使不知所措) by an unfamiliar test­taking environment.(有些人会在考试中表现不好，如果不熟悉的考试环境让他们不知所措)”提到有些人会因为不适应陌生的考试环境而发挥失常，所以要提前熟悉考场环境，D项“因此，提前熟悉周围环境是值得的”符合语境，且和上文“Familiarize yourself with the surrounding sounds of the room, the seating arrangements, the lighting levels and so on.(让自己熟悉房间周围的声音、座位安排、灯光水平等等。)”呼应，故选D。 38．上文“Some people do benefit from studying late into the night before testing.(有些人确实受益于考试前学习到深夜)”提到有些人确实受益于考试前学习到深夜，根据下文“Consuming power drinks or other highly caffeinated (含咖啡因的) drinks won't necessarily help a person remember information if he does not take time to sleep.So get enough rest and eat a healthy meal before taking an objective test.(如果一个人不花时间睡觉，喝能量饮料或其他高咖啡因饮料不一定能帮助他记住信息。因此，在参加考试之前，要充分休息，吃一顿健康的饭)”可知，下文是建议考试前充分休息，健康饮食，和上文是转折关系，F项“然而，大脑需要一些时间来处理接收到的大量信息”符合语境，故选F。 39．此空位于段首，是段落主题句，根据下文“If there is a strict time limit on a test section, you may want to skim through the questions quickly and complete the easiest ones first. By getting those questions out of the way, more time can be spent on the difficult or unfamiliar questions.(如果考试部分有严格的时间限制，你可能想快速浏览一下问题，先完成最简单的问题。通过解决这些问题，更多的时间可以花在困难或不熟悉的问题上)”可知，本段主要讲管理好时间是一项重要的考试技巧，C项“当你参加考试时，时间管理很重要”符合语境，故选C。 40．上文“If there is an official study guide or test preparation book, get one.(如果有官方的学习指南或考试准备书，那就去买一本)”建议购买备考指南，E项“它可能包含针对实际考试要求的考试技巧”解释了为什么要购买这样一本备考指南，E项中的“It”指代上文的“an official study guide or test preparation book”，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 We celebrate successful people around us, but what characteristics make successful people 41 ? While they may have plans and strategies, the first step towards success is the courage to 42 . And many examples prove that this is 43 for you to achieve your goals. Consider this: if a high school senior passes a kindergarten math exam, it’s not seen as an 44 because the challenge is too easy. However, if the same student passes a college-level exam, that’s a true success. 45 , every worthwhile goal must challenge us beyond our current abilities. Many people 46 starting because they fear failure and focus only on what could go 47 . They forget to consider the positive aspect. The courage to fail means moving forward even when success isn’t 48 . It’ s about following your instincts (直觉), 49 the fear of failure. Highly successful people often face the possibility of failure but dare to 50 anyway. Without this courage, you will never know if you have the 51 to succeed. Think about the goals you haven’t 52 yet — starting a business, applying for a job, or writing a book. Often, the fear of failure holds us back. 53 asking, “What if I fail? ”, ask “How can I succeed?” By 54 your mindset (思维模式), you enable yourself to take action and move closer to your goals. The next time 55 arises, remember: What if you try and succeed? 41．A．step aside B．stand out C．cheer up D．calm down 42．A．fail B．stop C．change D．dream 43．A．legal B．optional C．necessary D．acceptable 44．A．achievement B．assessment C．exploration D．adjustment 45．A．Gradually B．Luckily C．Finally D．Similarly 46．A．consider B．avoid C．regret D．risk 47．A．fast B．normally C．smoothly D．wrong 48．A．expected B．guaranteed C．evaluated D．recognized 49．A．overcoming B．hiding C．understanding D．checking 50．A．refuse B．wonder C．wait D．try 51．A．reason B．experience C．probability D．right 52．A．pursued B．shared C．appreciated D．judged 53．A．As for B．Instead of C．In addition to D．By comparison with 54．A．examining B．treasuring C．shifting D．preserving 55．A．danger B．accident C．inspiration D．doubt 【答案】 41．B 42．A 43．C 44．A 45．D 46．B 47．D 48．B 49．A 50．D 51．C 52．A 53．B 54．C 55．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨成功人士的关键特质——敢于失败的勇气，论述挑战自我、克服恐惧对实现目标的重要性。 【详解】41．考查动词短语辨析。句意：我们庆祝身边成功的人，但什么特质让成功人士脱颖而出？A. step aside让开；B. stand out突出；C. cheer up振作；D. calm down冷静。根据上文的“We celebrate successful people”可知，此处询问让成功人士“突出”的特质。故选B项。 42．考查动词词义辨析。句意：尽管他们可能有计划和策略，但迈向成功的第一步是敢于失败的勇气。A. fail失败；B. stop停止；C. change改变；D. dream梦想。根据下文“The courage to fail means moving forward even when success isn’t ____8____.”可知，成功的第一步是敢于“失败”。故选A项。 43．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：许多例子证明，这是实现目标的必要条件。A. legal合法的；B. optional可选的；C. necessary必要的；D. acceptable可接受的。根据常识和上文的“While they may have plans and strategies, the first step towards success is the courage to  ____2____ .”可知，迈向成功的第一步是敢于失败的勇气，由此可知，敢于失败的勇气是“必要的”。故选C项。 44．考查名词词义辨析。句意：试想：如果一个高三学生通过了幼儿园数学考试，这不算成就，因为挑战太容易了。A. achievement成就；B. assessment评估；C. exploration探索；D. adjustment调整。根据下文的“because the challenge is too easy.”可知，轻松完成的事不算“成就”。故选A项。 45．考查副词词义辨析。句意：同样，每一个有价值的目标都必须挑战我们当前的能力。A. Gradually逐渐地；B. Luckily幸运地；C. Finally最终；D. Similarly同样地。根据上文的“However, if the same student passes a college-level exam, that’s a true success.”与下文的“every worthwhile goal must challenge us beyond our current abilities.”可知，前文用学生考试的例子类比，此处强调目标需挑战能力的道理“同样”成立。故选D项。 46．考查动词词义辨析。句意：许多人避免开始，因为他们害怕失败，只关注可能出错的地方。A. consider考虑；B. avoid避免；C. regret后悔；D. risk冒险。根据下文的“because they fear failure”可知，害怕失败导致人们“避免”开始行动。故选B项。 47．考查副词词义辨析。句意：许多人避免开始，因为他们害怕失败，只关注可能出错的地方。A. fast快地；B. normally正常地；C. smoothly顺利地；D. wrong错误地。根据上文的“because they fear failure”以及下文的“They forget to consider the positive aspect.”可知，因为害怕失败，所以人们只关注事情“出错”的可能性，而忽略了积极的方面，go wrong为固定搭配。故选D项。 48．考查动词词义辨析。句意：敢于失败意味着即使成功没有保证，也要继续前进。A. expected期待；B. guaranteed保证；C. evaluated评估；D. recognized认可。根据上文的“The courage to fail means moving forward even when success isn’t”可知，此处解释了失败的勇气的意义，由此可推断，此处指的是即使在成功没有“保证”，仍要前进，符合语境。故选B项。 49．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这是追随你的直觉，克服对失败的恐惧。A. overcoming克服；B. hiding隐藏；C. understanding理解；D. checking检查。根据上文的“The courage to fail means moving forward even when success isn’t ____8____ .”可知，敢于失败需要“克服”恐惧，才能不断前进。故选A项。 50．考查动词词义辨析。句意：非常成功的人经常面临失败的可能，但无论如何都敢于尝试。A. refuse拒绝；B. wonder想知道；C. wait等待；D. try尝试。根据上文的“Highly successful people often face the possibility of failure”以及but可知，成功人士经常面对失败的可能，而成功人士之所有成功在于敢于“尝试”。故选D项。 51．考查名词词义辨析。句意：没有这种勇气，你永远不会知道自己是否有成功的可能性。A. reason原因；B. experience经验；C. probability可能性；D. right权利。根据上文的“Highly successful people often face the possibility of failure but dare to ____10____anyway.”可知，尝试是成功人士成功的关键，结合“Without this courage”可推断，此处指的是不尝试则无法知晓成功的“可能性”符合语境。故选C项。 52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：想想你还没有追求的目标——创业、求职或写书。A. pursued追求；B. shared分享；C. appreciated欣赏；D. judged判断。根据下文的 “starting a business, applying for a job”可知，此处指的是尚未“追求”的目标。故选A项。 53．考查介词短语辨析。句意：不要问“如果我失败了怎么办？”，而是问“我怎样才能成功？”A.

It was a cold day during the winter vacation. When I was enjoying the fantastic view of the Great Wall, a middle-­aged foreigner came to me and asked if I could tell him something about the wall. Encouraged by the guide, I gave him a vivid description of the history of the Great Wall in English. The man felt pleased and kept expressing his admiration, saying that it was a marvelous wonder in the world. I felt proud at that moment, not only because I was helpful to a foreigner, but also because I, as a Chinese, could spread our splendid culture to the world. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“An unforgettable experience”为题，用英语写一篇短文，叙述一次难忘的经历。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 欣赏：enjoy → admire 生动的：vivid → graphic 非凡的：marvelous → remarkable 感到自豪：feel proud at → take pride in 2. 句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Encouraged by the guide, I gave him a vivid description of the history of the Great Wall in English. 拓展句：As I was encouraged by the guide, I gave him a vivid description of the history of the Great Wall in English. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I never forget how proud I felt when I did a foreigner a favor on the Great Wall.（运用了how引导的宾语从句和when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】When I was enjoying the fantastic view of the Great Wall, a middle-­aged foreigner came to me and asked if I could tell him something about the wall.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和if引导的宾语从句） 第二节（满分25分） 67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 I could hear one of my classmates expressing her impatience with my slow crawl up the ladder (梯子),“If she’s afraid of heights, why would she sign up for a Bungee Jumping (蹦极) class?” My friend was at the top of the ladder, trying to cheer me up. How did I wind up on a ladder hanging above the Hudson River? It was my friend who invited me to the Bungee Jumping class. At first, I was doubtful, but her enthusiasm and guarantees of strict safety procedures won me over. I had been fearful of heights since primary school. Avoiding my fear of heights became second nature. I tried not to look down at balconies or staircases. I avoided traveling by plane as much as possible. I declined invitations from friends to join them on roller coasters (过山车). But here I was, at age twenty-six, facing my fear of heights in a rather extreme way. I had come around to the idea of trying Bungee Jumping. I figured it wasn’t much different from swinging on the monkey bars as a kid. The one obstacle I didn’t expect was the ladder. In order to reach the Bungee Jumping, I had to climb up a twenty-two-foot ladder. My friend’s distraction techniques helped to take my mind off my dangerous task. I found a rhythm and kept going. With a slow and steady (稳定的) pace, I made it to the top. An instructor tied me to a safety belt and told me to step to the edge of the platform. I held the Bungee Jumping bar with sweaty hands, surprised that it was too thick to fix my hand around. Instead of a firm grasp, my hands were in a weak, bear-claw position. The cheers from my classmates rang out below. An instructor reminded me of the safety rules, including the net below that would catch me at the bottom. He reminded me to listen to the directions while in the air, so I could perform well. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stood face to face with my fear of heights. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My second round of Bungee Jumping went a bit more smoothly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】    I stood face-to-face with my fear of heights. The realization that this was something I would have to do alone not only gave me some discomfort, but also a bit of pride. If I made it through the class, I would finish something in the face of my fear. As the instructor counted down, I took a deep breath and was pushed off the platform. The air rushed into my lungs. I lost awareness of time and space and let the force of the Bungee Jumping swing me up and down. I dropped onto the net tremblingly and began walking with my shaky legs. Finally, I made it! My second round of Bungee Jumping went a bit more smoothly. My hands and legs didn’t shake anymore. Even at the moment of jumping off the platform, my eyes were open and I saw the water coming towards me directly. An inexperienced thrill filled my whole body immediately. While my fear of heights was still with me, this experience opened up a new way of seeing myself and approaching challenges. I became more open to trying new things. I’m more capable than my fears let me believe I am. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者有恐高症，在朋友的鼓励下报了蹦极班，想以一种极端的方式面克服恐高症。最终作者鼓起勇气，接受挑战，克服了恐惧，让自己更加有信心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我直面我的恐高症。”可知，第一段可描写作者第一次试跳之前的心理变化和状态。 ②由第二段首句内容“我的第二轮蹦极进行得比较顺利。”可知，第二段可描写作者第二次蹦极心理向好的方面变化，自己能应对挑战，增强了信心。 2.续写线索：作者恐高——报名蹦极——爬梯子是的恐惧——第一次蹦极直面恐高的复杂心理——第二次蹦极获得心里的成长——自信增加克服恐高 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①自己做：do alone/act by myself ②成功了：made it/succeeded ③深呼吸：took a deep breath/breathed deeply 情绪类 ①颤抖地：tremblingly/shakily ②顺利地：smoothly/without hindrance 【点睛】【高分句型1】If I made it through the class, I would finish something in the face of my fear.

The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mochizuki If you love cosy, fantasy books, this Japanese fiction is a treat. The Full Moon is not your typical coffee shop, but a magical one run by talking cats that only appear on full moon nights, when someone needs them the most. Inviting three customers who are at a crossroads in their life, what wordy wisdom will the furry animals have to offer them? The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins If you used TikTok in 2024, your feed was likely full of praise for a new mindset tool called “The Let Them Theory”. Invented by motivational speaker Mel Robbins, the idea is to free yourself from trying to control what you can’t, and focus on what you can. In her book, Mel explores how this popular tool came to life and shows how to apply it to eight key areas of life, with insights from leading experts. Nine Minds: Inner Lives on the Spectrum (谱系) by Daniel Tammet From a surgeon to a bestselling novelist, Nine Minds digs into the extraordinary lives of nine men and women from around the world who have one thing in common: they are all on the autism (自闭症) spectrum. In sharing their experiences and how they view the world, it overturns stereotypes and celebrates the beauty in what sets them apart. Dogs and Their Humans: Stories of Healing by Noel Fitzpatrick The love we have for our pets is beyond words, and Noel Fitzpatrick knows this only too well as a vet surgeon of 30 years. Sharing stories of healing and hope from his practice, including entertaining ones which will make you laugh out loud, the book is strong evidence of how deep this connection is. 21．What is the main purpose of Mel Robbins’ book?

B She’s dived in Iceland and Indonesia, gone hiking in Africa and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. So when Cindy Abbott saw a television special on Qomolangma, she knew that would be her next adventure. Abbott, 51, contacted a coach about how to train for the climb. But five months later, she suddenly lost the vision in her left eye. Losing her eyesight was another symptom (症状) that doctors could not explain in her 15 years of living with Wegener’s granulomatosis, a rare disease that affects one in 30, 000 people. “The blindness was a good thing in a way because I got diagnosed ( 诊 断),” said Abbott, who lives in Orange County, California. There is no cure for Wegener’s granulomatosis. But her diagnosis did not mean the end to her dream of climbing Qomolangma. Instead, Abbott continued her training climbs. She decided to make her Qomolangma climb an awareness and fundraising campaign for Wegener’s granulomatosis and other rare diseases. “We have no drugs that are specific for our diseases,” said Abbott. “There’s no money in the drug companies to research to make a drug.” Abbott said this adventure is not just about the physical challenges. “When you get up on that mountain it’s only about half physical, and the rest mental, because of the suffering, the extreme days, the extreme environment and being away from your family,” said Abbott. “It was just the most amazing feeling,” said Abbot in a satellite phone call after reaching the peak. “You look out and know that you’re on top of the world.” Making her way down was even more treacherous than reaching the top. Sight problems meant she climbed down the ice wall practically blind. And aside from that, she suffered only some minor injuries and frostbite (冻伤). Abbott returned to Southern California about a week after reaching the top of Qomolangma. But she won’t be home for long. Next up: taking her husband on a diving trip. 24．What do we know about Abbott when she was 51? A．She became blind in her left eye suddenly. B．She decided to be a professional adventurer. C．She was fired from her job as a climbing guide. D．She was invited to record a TV program on Qomolangma. 25．Why did Abbott decide to climb Qomolangma? A．To build friendships with other climbers. B．To draw public attention to rare diseases. C．To realize her husband’s childhood dream. D．To carry out research on Wegener’s granulomatosis. 26．What does the underlined word “treacherous” mean in paragraph 8? A．Exciting. B．Important. C．Boring. D．Dangerous. 27．Which of the following words can best describe Abbott? A．Brave and honest. B．Humorous and friendly. C．Positive and strong-minded. D．Knowledgeable and nature-loving. C We have often heard that “work smart and not hard”．Does only smart work bring you success? And if so, then why are so many of us still busy putting our blood and sweat into working hard? Here, we’ll discuss hard work and smart work. Hard work is all about consistently working towards a particular goal irrespective (不考虑的) of its worth, not being worried about the result and not using any means to reduce your effort. Hard work requires a lot of commitment (投入) and sincerity from the person. Although being boring and tiresome, it can give you the best results if it is done with heart and soul. One of the preconditions of smart work is having in­depth knowledge or experience of the work in hand, because that allows you to look for efficient ways to do the work in a planned time. Being a smart worker saves a lot of time as you can find means to reduce your work by using logical and innovative ways to achieve your goals. Besides, it also gives you enough time to learn a new task while completing the present one. Although it seems that smart work is a better option, what we forget is that smart work is the fruit of hard work. Only when you work hard can you gather the expertise (专门技能) and the knowledge to understand the work in hand and efficiently improve on it and work smartly. You will attain great heights and lead a better and comfortable life if you combine both smart and hard work together. If you are not smart, your hard work will never pay. A donkey only does hard work, while a horse does hard work and uses its smartness whenever and wherever it needs. In a similar way, smart work is the result of hard work. To master the quality of smart work, you really need to work hard. Through hard work, we gain experience which helps us discover new things that may make us work smartly. The effort is important，but where to make that effort makes a difference. 28．What can we learn about hard workers from Paragraph 2? A．They lack proper work skills. B．They always have great patience. C．They tend to ignore the goal of work. D．They can obtain excellent results from their work if they work with heart and soul. 29．How can smart workers save a lot of time? A．By making a sensible plan. B．By making use of innovative ways. C．By learning experience from others. D．By getting inspiration from a new task. 30．What does the author think of hard work? A．It is inspiring. B．It is ineffective. C．It is challenging. D．It is fundamental. 31．What does the example of donkey in Paragraph 5 intend to show? A．It is useless to work hard. B．It is necessary to work smartly. C．The efforts you make matter most. D．The horse is cleverer than the donkey. D David Uttal, a scientist at Northwestern University, has always been poor at finding his way. At 13, he got lost on a Boy Scout hike for two and a half days. The world is full of people like Uttal — and their opposites, the folks who always seem to know exactly where they are and how to get where they want to go. These differences are obvious but explaining them has proved challenging. Now, research using virtual reality suggests that to some extent, navigational (导航的) skills are shaped by upbringing. A 2020 study highlighted this. The researchers compared the performance of more than 2,600 twins as they navigated through a virtual environment to test whether navigational ability runs in families. It does, they found — but only modestly. Instead, the biggest contributor to people’s performance was what geneticists call “nonshared environmental factors” — the unique experiences each person accumulates as their life unfolds. Good navigators, it appears, are mostly made, not born. Another large-scale experiment provided further insight. Researchers developed a smartphone game, “Sea Hero Quest”, in which players navigate through a virtual environment to locate checkpoints. Based on data from nearly four million players worldwide, they discovered that cultural factors were linked to way-finding skills. People from Nordic countries, where the navigation sport of orienteering is popular, performed slightly better. Results like these suggest that life experience may be one of the biggest determinants of navigational ability. Indeed, experience may even underlie one of the most consistent findings in navigation: men tend to perform better than women. It turns out that gender gap is more a question of culture and experience than of born ability. Nordic countries, for example, where gender equality is greatest, show almost no gender difference in navigation. In contrast, men far outperform women in places where women face cultural restrictions on exploring their environment. To Uttal, these findings carry an optimistic implication. “The good news is that navigation is trainable,” he notes, “It’s never too late to become a better navigator. You just need to give yourself opportunities to explore and pay attention to your surroundings.” 32．What did the 2020 study on twins reveal about navigational ability? A．It is largely determined by genes. B．It remains constant in a person’s life. C．It varies little among individuals. D．It is learned through experience. 33．How was the “Sea Hero Quest” experiment conducted? A．By testing brain activity during play. B．By analyzing smartphone game data. C．By comparing the Nordics with others. D．By observing how players navigate. 34．Why do men often outperform women in navigation? A．Men benefit from practicing sports. B．Women lack interest in doing so. C．Men possess stronger space memory. D．Women have fewer chances to explore. 35．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．What Can “Sea Hero Quest” Teach Us? B．How Does VR Improve Navigational Skills? C．Why Do Some People Always Get Lost? D．Who Are Better Navigators: Men or Women? 第二节（共5小题：每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 One constant thing in life is that sooner or later, there will be a test. Many times, the only way to measure comprehension is through objective testing, and that can cause anxiety in even the most well­-prepared student. 36 Many of them have little to do with the actual test items. One test-­taking tip involves anxiety reduction and physical relaxation. Whenever possible, visit the area in which the testing will take place. Familiarize yourself with the surrounding sounds of the room, the seating arrangements, the lighting levels and so on.Some people do not do well on tests if they are overwhelmed (使不知所措) by an unfamiliar test­-taking environment. 37 Some people do benefit from studying late into the night before testing. 38 Consuming power drinks or other highly caffeinated (含咖啡因的) drinks won’t necessarily help a person remember information if he does not take time to sleep. So get enough rest and eat a healthy meal before taking an objective test. 39 If there is a strict time limit on a test section, you may want to skim through the questions quickly and complete the easiest ones first. By getting those questions out of the way, more time can be spent on the difficult or unfamiliar questions. If there is an official study guide or test preparation book, get one. 40 Sample questions can prove very useful when you’re taking standardized tests such as college entrance exams. A．More exercises before tests are always your choice. B．A positive attitude goes a long way toward test success. C．Time management is important when you're taking objective tests. D．So it pays to become familiar with the surroundings ahead of time. E．It may contain test­-taking tips specific to the demands of the actual test. F．However, the mind needs some time to process the flood of information it receives. G．There are some test-­taking tips which can take much of the stress out of the testing process. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 We celebrate successful people around us, but what characteristics make successful people 41 ? While they may have plans and strategies, the first step towards success is the courage to 42 . And many examples prove that this is 43 for you to achieve your goals.

How did I wind up on a ladder hanging above the Hudson River? It was my friend who invited me to the Bungee Jumping class. At first, I was doubtful, but her enthusiasm and guarantees of strict safety procedures won me over. I had been fearful of heights since primary school. Avoiding my fear of heights became second nature. I tried not to look down at balconies or staircases. I avoided traveling by plane as much as possible. I declined invitations from friends to join them on roller coasters (过山车). But here I was, at age twenty-six, facing my fear of heights in a rather extreme way. I had come around to the idea of trying Bungee Jumping. I figured it wasn’t much different from swinging on the monkey bars as a kid. The one obstacle I didn’t expect was the ladder. In order to reach the Bungee Jumping, I had to climb up a twenty-two-foot ladder. My friend’s distraction techniques helped to take my mind off my dangerous task. I found a rhythm and kept going. With a slow and steady (稳定的) pace, I made it to the top. An instructor tied me to a safety belt and told me to step to the edge of the platform. I held the Bungee Jumping bar with sweaty hands, surprised that it was too thick to fix my hand around. Instead of a firm grasp, my hands were in a weak, bear-claw position. The cheers from my classmates rang out below. An instructor reminded me of the safety rules, including the net below that would catch me at the bottom. He reminded me to listen to the directions while in the air, so I could perform well. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I stood face to face with my fear of heights. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My second round of Bungee Jumping went a bit more smoothly. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 1 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
