(2026河北邯郸高二期中)
Chenoa Tremblay is a radio astronomer who uses radio telescopes(望远镜) and a specific analytical technique to study molecules(分子) in the gas layers(层) around stars.By analyzing these molecules’ unique frequency signals,she identifies signs related to life—such as water—that are potential signs of life beyond Earth.Additionally,she uses computers and advanced mathematics to turn these signals into images,enabling the study of the universe in ways that human eyes can’t.
Tremblay grew up in a small town in New Hampshire.There wasn’t a lot of expectation of girls doing much outside of home.But she was a naturally very curious child.Throughout high school,learning was hard for her most of the time.But math was always fairly easy,and she enjoyed chemistry.
Tremblay decided to study business and accounting in college.It seemed logical,but she really wasn’t sure what she’d do with it.Her roommate was studying chemistry,and she found herself helping her with her homework.Her friends finally convinced her to study chemistry instead.
Tremblay started volunteering for university projects to learn from teachers.That helped her figure out how to become a radio astronomer.In 2016,she got into a doctoral program for physics and astronomy in Australia.During her program,Tremblay and her team were using a brand-new radio telescope in Western Australia.In high school and her first years in college,she really struggled with physics.So it’s really funny that she ended up with a Ph.D.in the subject.At some point in the learning process,things just started to click.
“The career you decide on now doesn’t have to be what you do later.You can change your mind and switch paths,” Tremblay said in a speech for young students.“You can explore what you find interesting about the world.”
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Tremblay is good at designing telescopes.
B.Tremblay finds it possible to live beyond earth.
C.Tremblay’s work is about the study of the universe.
D.Tremblay’s study has gained widespread recognition.
2.What directly led Tremblay to change her university major?
A.The appeal of chemistry.
B.The push from her friends.
C.The advice from her parents.
D.The doubt about her future job.
3.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.A new radio telescope.
B.Tremblay and her team.
C.University volunteer work.
D.Tremblay’s Ph.D.journey.
4.What can we learn from Tremblay’s experience?
A.Nothing is impossible.
B.Creativity is important.
C.Practical experience helps.
D.Career paths can be adjusted.

What does it take to achieve true success?While talent and intelligence are often celebrated,real-world examples and psychological research suggest that other factors may matter more.
One of the most famous examples comes from Thomas Edison.It’s reported that he failed over 1,000 times before successfully inventing the light bulb.Rather than seeing these as failures,Edison famously remarked,“I didn’t fail 1,000 times.The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.” This perspective demonstrates a powerful approach to setbacks:viewing them as necessary steps toward growth rather than as defeats.
Similarly,J.K.Rowling’s journey to success was filled with obstacles.Before achieving worldwide fame with the Harry Potter series,she faced numerous rejections from publishers.As a single mother relying on welfare benefits,she persisted in believing in her story and continued submitting her manuscript.Her perseverance not only brought her literary success but also inspired millions of readers globally.
Modern psychology confirms the importance of this quality.Research shows that resilience—the ability to recover from difficulties—plays a crucial role in achieving success.Psychologist Angela Duckworth calls this quality “grit.” Her studies indicate that grit,more than intelligence or natural talent,is what predicts long-term achievement.People with grit maintain their commitment to goals despite slow progress or obstacles.
So how can one develop grit?Psychologist Carol Dweck’s concept of “growth mindset” provides an answer.Individuals with a growth mindset believe their abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work.They view challenges as opportunities to improve rather than as threats to their self-esteem.This mindset enables them to persist when facing difficulties,ultimately leading to greater achievement.
5.How did Thomas Edison view his numerous failed attempts?
A.As complete wastes of time and resources.
B.As evidence that he lacked enough talent.
C.As necessary steps in the invention process.
D.As reasons to consider giving up on his project.
6.What quality does the author emphasize in J.K.Rowling’s story?
A.Her exceptional writing talent.
B.Her persistence through difficulties.
C.Her ability to get welfare support.
D.Her good connections with publishers.
7.According to Angela Duckworth’s research,what best predicts long-term success?
A.Grit and perseverance.
B.A comfortable financial situation.
C.High intelligence and natural talent.
D.Formal education level.
8.What do people with a growth mindset believe?
A.Intelligence is fixed and cannot be changed.
B.Challenges should be avoided to prevent failure.
C.Success depends mainly on natural talent.
D.Abilities can be developed through effort.
