A
(26高一上·北京·分班)James Gailey has already retired. At 80 years old, he was enjoying time in the North Texas community of Callisburg. It’s a small town, with a population of about 300 people. The local school district has two campuses, and supports over 1,100 students in the rural area.
Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor.
Three students decided that they could do something about this situation. Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. “No 80-year-old should have to work because they have to,” said Tidwell, “It should be because they want to do it. It bothered us that he had to have a place to work to keep his house.”
When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. The page was disabled only two weeks later, raising an impressive $270,000. “It’s amazing,” said Jason Hooper, the principal of Callisburg High School. “The need was met because of three kind kids—of all our students who offered help.” Many of the donations to the GoFundMe page are from students and staff at Callisburg, with most of them only $5 or $10 each.
“It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.”
At the time of researching and writing this story, Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. “It’s what we’re about,” Hooper said, “We’re a small town. We’re family. We don’t always agree, but we love and help our own.”
1. James Gailey returned to work mainly because of ________.
A. his difficulty in paying his rent B. his boredom of the retiring life
C. his desire to continue his career D. his ambition to improve himself
2. What did the three kids do for James Gailey?
A. Finding him a job at campus B. Giving him support for work.
C. Raising money on the website. D. Turning to the school principle.
3. How did Yusko feel after the campaign ?
A. Doubtful. B. Astonished. C. Regretful. D. Confused.
4. What can we learn from the story?
A. It’s never too late to learn. B. A good turn deserves another.
C. Chance favors the prepared mind. D. A small act can make a difference.

(25-26高一·江苏黄埭中学·阶段练)Sandesh Kadur, a National Geographic explorer, has spent 25 years documenting (记录) rare wildlife, changing his childhood interest into a duty to protect Earth’s ecosystems.
When he was young, Kadur was attracted by Corbett’s tales of big cats. Inspired, he once cycled into the jungle with a friend to observe big cats at a watering hole. At night, they really saw a big cat. Bathed in moonlight, he realized his life’s goal: to take photos of nature’s wonders and share them.
At 12, Kadur borrowed his father’s camera — a “magic box” that froze time. His father, a scientist who studies insects, got him looking at the small things. So he began intentionally taking photos of small insects, trying to understand what he was looking at. As he grew older, his love for nature, however, conflicted with academics. Afterwards, he moved to Brownsville, Texas to study hotel management — a choice that unexpectedly refueled his love for storytelling.
In Brownsville, Kadur explored the cloud forests and landed a job as a jungle tour guide. There, he met filmmaker John Bax, who introduced him to documentary work. When they started a documentary project together, Bax withdrew (退出) from it. Kadur, then 19 and untrained in film, carried on the project on his own. He later spent three years in India’s Western Ghats, filming species like the “smoke cat” for the first time. His first film, Sahyadris: Mountains of the Monsoon, brought the Western Ghats’ biodiversity into attention, aiding its 2012 UNESCO World Heritage status.
Through visual storytelling, Kadur offers his audience chances to know about a rarely-seen natural world, calling on them to protect its weak wildlife. “Visual art has told stories for thousands of years. Now we’re doing that with technology, and it will continue to advance.” said Kadur, “I think the influence of storytelling can last a lifetime. It can last generations.”
1. What led Kadur into nature?
A. Corbett’s stories of big cats. B. Working as a jungle tour guide.
C. Borrowing his father’s camera. D. His experience in hotel management.
2. What was his father’s influence on him?
A. Teaching him photography skills. B. Introducing him to documentary work.
C. Helping him regain love for storytelling. D. Arousing his curiosity about scientific details.
3. What is Kadur’s opinion about visual storytelling?
A. It well entertains audiences. B. It serves as a bridge for nature.
C. Its value lies in expression skills. D. Its impact depends on technology.
4. Which of the following words can best describe Kadur?
A. Determined and passionate. B. Talented and humorous.
C. Independent and generous. D. Responsible and serious.

(26高一上·北京·分班)A 2023 study from the University of Bath found that younger generations have higher levels of perfectionism, or having exceptionally high standards and being overly self-critical, compared with previous generations at the same period in their lives.
Using data taken from 40,000 North American and British university students, researchers found evidence that the extent to which young people place an unreasonable importance on “being perfect” had increased. Growing competition for university places and jobs, and increasingly strict parents were listed among contributing factors.
The World Economic Forum describes it as a “hidden wave of perfectionism” and connects perfectionism with serious mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen says that perfectionism isn’t necessarily about being perfect; instead, it’s about never being good enough. “It’s an inner push to do more, and always be better but, eventually, it costs us more than it buys us,” she says.
Of course there is nothing wrong with simply wanting to do well and having high standards for yourself. So, when does this become a problem? Ellen says it has to do with the reason why you’re pursuing (追求) something. “There’s a difference between doing something as well as you can and making something perfect. If you enjoy the journey of doing something, that’s great. But if you’re doing it because you want to prove you’re good enough—that’s what perfectionism is.”
What are the tell-tale signs that you’re a perfectionist? One common characteristic of perfectionism is procrastination (拖延), but not for the reasons you might normally attach to it, such as laziness. “Often perfectionists fear that they’re not going to be able to perform to the level that others might expect, or that the end result won’t be good enough,” Ellen explains, “so it’s not actually the avoidance of a task; it’s avoidance of negative emotions connected with a task.”
Other elements of perfectionism can be seen in the way these people make decisions. There are two extremes: those who make quick decisions and believe that they are absolutely making the “correct” or “right” decision, and others who are so worried about making the wrong decision, and regret that they spend too much time agonizing over it, researching, weighing advantages and disadvantages and talking to people for encouragement.
So how do we break free from perfectionism? It starts with challenging the original beliefs that drive it. Perfectionism is often rooted in fear—fear of failure, criticism, or not being good enough. Asking ourselves questions like, “What’s the worst that could happen if this isn’t perfect?” can help us put things into perspective (正确认识). By letting go of the fear of imperfection, we free ourselves to take risks, become more creative, and reach our true potential
1. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. When perfectionism may lead to mental illnesses. B. Why there exists a hidden wave of perfectionism.
C. How perfectionism harms young people D. What drives younger generations to pursue perfection.
2. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Doing one’s best typically marks perfectionism.
B. The pursuit of perfection is the main cause of mental issues.
C. Rushing into decisions causes more problems than weighing options.
D. Fear of failure plays a key role in connecting perfectionism and procrastination.
3. What does the phrase “agonizing over” underlined in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Insisting on. B. Struggling with. C. Crying over. D. Dreaming about.
4. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Price of Perfection: Perfectionism Holds You Back
B. The Lie of Perfection: Unrealistic Goals Worsen Anxiety
C. The Root of Perfectionism: Fear of Not Being Good Enough
D. The Trap of Perfectionism: Wanting to Be Perfect Causes Self-Doubt
三、七选五
(25-26高一·辽宁大连·期末)
Many people view setbacks as roadblocks that stop their progress, but in reality, they can be powerful fuel for growth. If you often feel stuck after a setback and struggle to move forward, it’s time to examine your mindset and habits. ____1____
You avoid reflecting on the lessons.
Setbacks carry hidden lessons, but a lot of people rush to move on without pausing to learn. ____2____ Nonetheless, do you take time to analyze what went wrong and what you could do differently? If not, you’re likely to repeat the same mistakes and miss the chance to grow stronger.
You let self-doubt take over.
It’s natural to feel uncertain after a failure, especially when others question your abilities. For example, you spent weeks preparing for a presentation, but it didn’t go as planned. You’ve told yourself before that you’re capable of growth, but after this failure, you start to believe you’re not good enough. ____3____ Your confidence fades, but you don’t fight against these negative thoughts.
You give up too easily.
Without a doubt, perseverance is valuable. ____4____ Yet giving up at the first sign of difficulty robs you of the chance to build resilience (抗逆力) . Do you abandon goals when you hit a small barrier? Is “I can’t do this” your automatic response? This habit keeps you stuck in failure, rather than letting you use it as a stepping stone.
____5____
This is a subtle but harmful habit. If you compare your progress to others’ highlights, you’ll discount your own growth and lose motivation. Your struggles are a sign you’re pushing yourself, not a sign of weakness. Your unique path matters.
A. You compare your progress to others’.
B. You celebrate others’ achievements openly.
C. You know that pushing through hardship is the right path.
D. Chances are that you know you should reflect after a failure.
E. Instead of questioning these beliefs, you accept them as truth.
F. But you can use the following four ways to turn setbacks into motivation.
G. Be aware of the traps that may keep you from turning setbacks into motivation.

(26高一上·北京·分班)James Gailey has already retired. At 80 years old, he was enjoying time in the North Texas community of Callisburg. It’s a small town, with a population of about 300 people. The local school district has two campuses, and supports over 1,100 students in the rural area.
Although Gailey had no intention of returning to the workforce, he had no choice when his monthly rent was raised by $400. Since he couldn’t afford that cost, “Mr. James,” as the students call him, went back to the local school and restarted working as a school janitor.
Three students decided that they could do something about this situation. Greyson Thurman, Banner Tidwell, and Marti Yusko created a GoFundMe web page and shared his story on TikTok. “No 80-year-old should have to work because they have to,” said Tidwell, “It should be because they want to do it. It bothered us that he had to have a place to work to keep his house.”
When the students started the campaign, their goal was to get Mr. James some extra money to help with his rent issues. The page was disabled only two weeks later, raising an impressive $270,000. “It’s amazing,” said Jason Hooper, the principal of Callisburg High School. “The need was met because of three kind kids—of all our students who offered help.” Many of the donations to the GoFundMe page are from students and staff at Callisburg, with most of them only $5 or $10 each.
“It is crazy to see something like that. We knew people would have wanted to help,” said Yusko, “We didn’t know it would blow up.”
At the time of researching and writing this story, Mr. James said that he was ready to return to retirement. “It’s what we’re about,” Hooper said, “We’re a small town. We’re family. We don’t always agree, but we love and help our own.”
1. James Gailey returned to work mainly because of ________.
A. his difficulty in paying his rent B. his boredom of the retiring life

(26高一上·北京·分班)A 2023 study from the University of Bath found that younger generations have higher levels of perfectionism, or having exceptionally high standards and being overly self-critical, compared with previous generations at the same period in their lives.
Using data taken from 40,000 North American and British university students, researchers found evidence that the extent to which young people place an unreasonable importance on “being perfect” had increased. Growing competition for university places and jobs, and increasingly strict parents were listed among contributing factors.
The World Economic Forum describes it as a “hidden wave of perfectionism” and connects perfectionism with serious mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen says that perfectionism isn’t necessarily about being perfect; instead, it’s about never being good enough. “It’s an inner push to do more, and always be better but, eventually, it costs us more than it buys us,” she says.
Of course there is nothing wrong with simply wanting to do well and having high standards for yourself. So, when does this become a problem? Ellen says it has to do with the reason why you’re pursuing (追求) something. “There’s a difference between doing something as well as you can and making something perfect. If you enjoy the journey of doing something, that’s great. But if you’re doing it because you want to prove you’re good enough—that’s what perfectionism is.”
What are the tell-tale signs that you’re a perfectionist? One common characteristic of perfectionism is procrastination (拖延), but not for the reasons you might normally attach to it, such as laziness. “Often perfectionists fear that they’re not going to be able to perform to the level that others might expect, or that the end result won’t be good enough,” Ellen explains, “so it’s not actually the avoidance of a task; it’s avoidance of negative emotions connected with a task.”
Other elements of perfectionism can be seen in the way these people make decisions. There are two extremes: those who make quick decisions and believe that they are absolutely making the “correct” or “right” decision, and others who are so worried about making the wrong decision, and regret that they spend too much time agonizing over it, researching, weighing advantages and disadvantages and talking to people for encouragement.
So how do we break free from perfectionism? It starts with challenging the original beliefs that drive it. Perfectionism is often rooted in fear—fear of failure, criticism, or not being good enough. Asking ourselves questions like, “What’s the worst that could happen if this isn’t perfect?” can help us put things into perspective (正确认识). By letting go of the fear of imperfection, we free ourselves to take risks, become more creative, and reach our true potential

【导语】这是一篇说明文。2023 年巴斯大学研究发现年轻一代完美主义程度更高,其成因包括竞争加剧等,与多种心理疾病相关,文章还说明了其特征及应对方法。
1. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The World Economic Forum describes it as a “hidden wave of perfectionism” and connects perfectionism with serious mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety and eating disorders. Clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen says that perfectionism isn’t necessarily about being perfect; instead, it’s about never being good enough. “It’s an inner push to do more, and always be better but, eventually, it costs us more than it buys us,” she says.(世界经济论坛将其描述为“一种隐性的完美主义浪潮”,并将其与诸如抑郁症、焦虑症和饮食失调等严重精神疾病联系起来。临床心理学家艾伦·亨德里克森表示,完美主义并非意味着一定要做到完美;相反,它意味着永远都不够好。“这是一种内在的动力,促使我们做得更多,并且永远力求做得更好,但最终,这给我们带来的代价要高于我们所获得的回报,”她说)”可知,第三段主要讲的是完美主义如何对年轻人造成伤害。故选C。
2. 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“ One common characteristic of perfectionism is procrastination (拖延), but not for the reasons you might normally attach to it, such as laziness. “Often perfectionists fear that they’re not going to be able to perform to the level that others might expect, or that the end result won’t be good enough,” Ellen explains(完美主义的一个共同特征是拖延症,但并不是你通常认为的原因,比如懒惰。“完美主义者通常担心自己无法达到别人期望的水平,或者最终结果不够好,”艾伦解释说)”最后一段“Perfectionism is often rooted in fear—fear of failure, criticism, or not being good enough. (完美主义通常源于恐惧——害怕失败、批评或不够好)”可知,对失败的恐惧在完美主义与拖延症的关联中起着关键作用。故选D。
3. 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“others who are so worried about making the wrong decision, and regret that they spend too much time(另一种则是那些非常担心做出错误决定的人,他们会因为花费过多时间)”以及后文“researching, weighing advantages and disadvantages and talking to people for encouragement (进行研究、权衡利弊以及向他人寻求鼓励而感到懊悔)”可知,另一种人因为花费了过多时间挣扎于错误决定而感到懊悔。故划线词意思是“挣扎于”。故选B。
4. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A 2023 study from the University of Bath found that younger generations have higher levels of perfectionism, or having exceptionally high standards and being overly self-critical, compared with previous generations at the same period in their lives.(巴斯大学2023年的一项研究发现,与同年龄段的前几代人相比,年轻一代更倾向于追求完美,即有着极高的标准并且对自己要求过于严格)”结合文章主要说明了2023年巴斯大学研究显示年轻一代完美主义加剧,与竞争、严教相关,其危害、特征及摆脱方法也被阐述。可知,A选项“完美主义的代价:完美主义会阻碍你的进步”最符合文章标题。故选A。
三、七选五
(25-26高一·辽宁大连·期末)
Many people view setbacks as roadblocks that stop their progress, but in reality, they can be powerful fuel for growth. If you often feel stuck after a setback and struggle to move forward, it’s time to examine your mindset and habits. ____1____
You avoid reflecting on the lessons.
Setbacks carry hidden lessons, but a lot of people rush to move on without pausing to learn. ____2____ Nonetheless, do you take time to analyze what went wrong and what you could do differently? If not, you’re likely to repeat the same mistakes and miss the chance to grow stronger.
You let self-doubt take over.
It’s natural to feel uncertain after a failure, especially when others question your abilities. For example, you spent weeks preparing for a presentation, but it didn’t go as planned. You’ve told yourself before that you’re capable of growth, but after this failure, you start to believe you’re not good enough. ____3____ Your confidence fades, but you don’t fight against these negative thoughts.
You give up too easily.
Without a doubt, perseverance is valuable. ____4____ Yet giving up at the first sign of difficulty robs you of the chance to build resilience (抗逆力) . Do you abandon goals when you hit a small barrier? Is “I can’t do this” your automatic response? This habit keeps you stuck in failure, rather than letting you use it as a stepping stone.
____5____
This is a subtle but harmful habit. If you compare your progress to others’ highlights, you’ll discount your own growth and lose motivation. Your struggles are a sign you’re pushing yourself, not a sign of weakness. Your unique path matters.
A. You compare your progress to others’.
B. You celebrate others’ achievements openly.
C. You know that pushing through hardship is the right path.
D. Chances are that you know you should reflect after a failure.
E. Instead of questioning these beliefs, you accept them as truth.
F. But you can use the following four ways to turn setbacks into motivation.
G. Be aware of the traps that may keep you from turning setbacks into motivation.
【答案】1. G 2. D 3. E 4. C 5. A
【导语】主要介绍四种阻碍人们将挫折转化为成长动力的思维陷阱与坏习惯,阐释其危害并引导读者改正心态、借力挫折成长。
1. 根据空前的“Many people view setbacks as roadblocks that stop their progress, but in reality, they can be powerful fuel for growth. If you often feel stuck after a setback and struggle to move forward, it’s time to examine your mindset and habits.(很多人把挫折视为阻碍前进的绊脚石,但实际上挫折可以成为成长的强大动力。如果你常常在受挫后停滞不前、难以继续前行,那就该审视自己的心态和习惯了。)”以及下文分段介绍的四种负面思维误区可知,文章首段提出要正视挫折、自查问题,空格处需要总领全文,引出下文所有阻碍成长的错误习惯。G选项“Be aware of the traps that may keep you from turning setbacks into motivation (警惕那些可能阻碍你将挫折转化为动力的陷阱)”承接上文审视自我心态的观点,精准引出下文四个具体的思维陷阱,起到承上启下、统领全篇的作用,逻辑紧密,符合语境。
2. 根据空前的“Setbacks carry hidden lessons, but a lot of people rush to move on without pausing to learn.(挫折中暗藏经验教训,但很多人急于翻篇,不愿停下来总结、学习。)” 以及空后的“Nonetheless, do you take time to analyze what went wrong and what you could do differently? If not, you’re likely to repeat the same mistakes and miss the chance to grow stronger.(即便如此,你是否会花时间分析问题、反思改进?如果不会,就容易重蹈覆辙、错失成长机会。)”可知,上下文构成转折关系,强调人们明知该反思却从不反思的普遍问题。D 选项“Chances are that you know you should reflect after a failure (你很可能知道失败过后应该自我反思)”先点明人们普遍具备的正确认知,与后文实际不作为形成强烈反差,完美衔接转折逻辑,贴合本段“拒绝复盘反思”的中心,符合语境。
3. 根据空前的“You’ve told yourself before that you’re capable of growth, but after this failure, you start to believe you’re not good enough.(你原本相信自己可以成长进步,但经历失败后,开始认为自己不够优秀。)”以及空后的“Your confidence fades, but you don’t fight against these negative thoughts.(你的自信心逐渐消退,却不会主动对抗这些消极想法。)”可知,空格处需要详细衔接自我怀疑、消极想法扎根内心的过程。E选项“Instead of questioning these beliefs, you accept them as truth (你不去质疑这些消极的想法,反而把它们当成既定事实全盘接受)”详细解释了自信心消退的根本原因,承接前文自我否定的心理,呼应后文任由负面情绪蔓延的状态,逻辑连贯,符合语境。
4. 根据空前的“Without a doubt, perseverance is valuable.(毫无疑问,坚持不懈、持之以恒是非常可贵的品质。)”以及空后的“Yet giving up at the first sign of difficulty robs you of the chance to build resilience (抗逆力).(然而一遇到困难就轻言放弃,会让你错失培养抗挫折能力的机会。)”可知,前后存在语义转折,前文肯定坚持的意义,后文批判轻易放弃的行为。C选项“You know that pushing through hardship is the right path (你心里清楚迎难而上、克服困难才是正确的做法)”先点明大众的正确认知,与后文错误的放弃行为形成鲜明对比,突出知行不合一的问题,贴合本段主题,符合语境。
5. 分析语篇可知,此处为段落小标题,与前文“You avoid reflecting on the lessons.”以及“You let self-doubt take over.”等小标题句式结构完全一致,均为总结错误习惯的短句。根据空后的“This is a subtle but harmful habit. If you compare your progress to others’ highlights, you’ll discount your own growth and lose motivation.(这是一种隐蔽但有害的习惯。如果你拿自己的进度和他人的高光时刻作比较,就会低估自己的成长、丧失前进动力。)”可知,本段全程围绕与人攀比的不良习惯展开论述。A选项“You compare your progress to others’. (你拿自己的成长进度和他人作比较)”句式工整统一,精准概括本段核心误区,统领整段内容,符合语境。
