Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2026黑龙江省实验中学期中)拓展语篇
Do you always think through possibilities before committing to even the smallest choices like what to wear, which menu item to pick, and when to do household chores? If this sounds like you, you're among many indecisive people who struggle with those issues. But are decisive people better at making decisions than indecisive people? A recent study has cast light on that.
The starting point of the recent study into the differences between decisive and indecisive people was finding a reliable way of distinguishing participants. The research team used the Action Control Scale, a yes or no questionnaire about everyday choices and behaviors, to reveal whether a person is action-oriented or state-oriented.
Action-oriented people are more decisive and likely to take action. They are more flexible and likely to persevere in carrying out their intentions in the face of challenges. By contrast, state-oriented people focus on their emotional states—they may even dread the potential regret of wrong choices. They are more hesitant to commit to their choices, and abandon their commitments more frequently.
Researchers surveyed 723 people, from whom they chose the 60 most action-oriented and the 60 most state-oriented to take part in the main experiments. The participants went through a set of cognitive tasks, with low-risk choices. The team conducted a comparison of several cognitive processes between the two groups including evidence-processing speed, decision caution, initial bias (how much the choice is influenced by knowledge), and sensitivity (how accurately you can judge the correctness of your choice). By examining these cognitive processes, researchers aimed to gain insights into the decision-making abilities and tendencies of the two groups.
They found that across all the experiments, action-oriented people were more confident about their choices. However, there were no divergences in correctness, speed, or sensitivity. Meanwhile, indecisive people were in no way worse at making choices.
Being less or more confident of the choice that has been made cannot affect the outcome. It can, however, influence future ones. State-oriented people are less confident of whether the choice is right, and it will possibly make pursuing their goals a much greater challenge.
1.What's the function of the Action Control Scale?
A.Comparing participants' daily schedules.
B.Recording participants' emotional changes.
C.Finding the reasons behind participants' choices.
D.Telling decisive participants from indecisive ones.
2.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A.Add some background information.
B.Summarize the previous paragraphs.
C.Provide some advice for the readers.
D.Introduce a new topic for discussion.
3.What does the underlined word “divergences” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Assignments. B.Differences.
C.Connections. D.Comparisons.
4.What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph?
A.The correct way to face up to the challenges.
B.The benefits gained by state-oriented people.
C.The influence of the confidence gap on the future outcome.
D.The difference between the action- and state-oriented people.
Ⅳ.七选五
(2026辽宁名校联盟联考)
Have you ever noticed how the people who shout the loudest often feel the weakest inside? While the unconfident tend to be easily upset, mentally strong persons are often calm, collected, and unshakable. 1 How do you know if you're on the path to becoming one of these quietly powerful individuals? Here are some defining qualities.
2
Confidence is a product of continuous self-discipline(自律). Mentally strong individuals keep promises to themselves, set goals, and stick with them. They manage their time, energy, and emotions at a steady pace, gaining quiet assurance that translates into the ability of handling bigger challenges.
Bringing positivity and uplifting others.
A mentally strong person radiates(显现) positivity—not through forced smiles, but through a heartfelt, optimistic mindset. 3 Instead, they approach each roadblock with a solution-focused attitude. This kind of outlook is infectious, uplifting not just themselves but everyone around them.
Seeing the big picture, not sweating the small stuff.
4 A mentally strong person, on the other hand, has a broad perspective. They don't get stuck on who's right or wrong in every argument—they're focused on bigger things. They stop reacting to every criticism or setback and learn to let go of things.
Holding firm convictions(坚定的信念) that give life meaning.
Mentally strong people don't wander through life aimlessly. They're guided by deeply held beliefs —whether rooted in personal values, spirituality, or a commitment to truth and growth. 5
Ultimately, mental strength means recognizing that failure, loss, and criticism are inevitable parts of the journey. With inner calm and wisdom, you can walk through life with courage and clarity.
A.They don't pretend problems don't exist.
B.Solving their own problems independently.
C.Living with self-discipline and true confidence.
D.Belief isn't about blind faith but about clarity of purposes.
E.These beliefs give them direction especially in times of chaos.
F.A small mind gets caught up in petty drama and constant comparison.
G.Their peace comes from within and shapes how they face life's challenges.

(2024江苏省阜宁中学期中)
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。
Ramu started a business with great enthusiasm but just after a few months his business went under. Time passed but Ramu didn't start any new work. His teacher got to know about his situation and called him to his home.
The teacher asked with gentleness, “Why don't you start some other kind of work?”
Ramu replied, “I gave my everything to my business and yet it still failed.”
The teacher tried to comfort him, saying, “But that's life. Sometimes we get success and sometimes we don't. This doesn't mean that we stop working.”
“What's the point of doing work, when I can't be sure of success?” Ramu replied with a bit of annoyance.
The teacher took Ramu to a room and showed him a dead tomato plant. Ramu was confused and said, “It's dead. Why are you showing it to me?”
The teacher replied, “When I sowed its seed, I did everything right for it. I watered it, fertilized it, sprayed it with pesticide(杀虫剂). I took great care of it but it still died.” He stopped for a while and then said, “Doing work is the same... No matter how hard you try, you cannot decide what happens in the end. However, you can control those things in your hands. Just do your best!”
Ramu asked, “But if there is no guarantee of success, then what's the use of doing anything?”
The teacher said, “You'd better not think like that...”
“What's wrong with that... I have given so much hard work, so much money, so much time; if success is only a matter of chance, then what is the use of doing so much?” said Ramu and he was about to leave.
Just then the teacher stopped him and said, “Before you leave, I want to show you one more thing.”
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
He took Ramu to another room and opened the door.
At that very moment, Ramu read the lesson of success.

能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.was published 考查时态、语态及主谓一致。句意:1933年,海伦·凯勒的书《假如给我三天光明》出版,她在书中想象如果她能被恩赐恢复视觉,哪怕只有三天,她最希望看到什么。根据时间状语In 1933可知,本空应用一般过去时;且主句的主语和动词publish之间为被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主句的主语为单数,故填was published。
2.what 考查宾语从句。本空引导的宾语从句作动词imagined的宾语,本空在从句中作see的宾语,表示“她最希望看到的东西”,故填what。
3.gentleness 考查名词。句意:第一天,她最想见那些人,他们的善良、温柔和陪伴使她生活得有意义。根据空前名词kindness和and后的名词companionship可知,本空应用名词形式,故填gentleness。

Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了出生时患有罕见病的励志少年Benjamin Lou克服各种困难进入麻省理工学院,成为一名计算机科学家,他还是残疾人权利的倡导者。
【高频词汇】 1.be born with 生来就有 2.assistance n.帮助 3.odds n.不利条件,逆境 4.hardship n.困苦,艰难 5.inspirational adj.鼓舞人心的,启发灵感的
6.figure n.人物 7.accessibility n.可达性;可(易)接近性 8.passionate adj.热情的,热诚的

2.disorder n.紊乱,失调,疾病 3.interface n.界面;接口
4.mobility n.移动能力 5.stereotype n.刻板印象
6.inclusive adj.包容广阔的
1.used 考查非谓语动词。句意:Benjamin Lou是一名计算机科学家和倡导者,他出生时患有一种罕见的遗传性疾病,称为脊髓性肌萎缩症(SMA),这种疾病会影响用于移动身体的肌肉。分析句子可知,句中which引导非限制性定语从句,从句中已有谓语affects,故设空处应用非谓语动词。本空作定语,动词use和被修饰名词muscles之间为被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语。故填used。
2.it 考查it作形式宾语。句意:一岁时,他从胸部以下完全瘫痪,这使他难以呼吸、进食或在没有帮助的情况下四处移动。分析句子可知,此处应用it作形式宾语,构成“make it +adj.+for sb. to do sth.”结构,不定式短语“to breathe, feed himself, or move around without assistance”作真正的宾语。
3.where 考查定语从句。句意:尽管面临这些挑战,Benjamin还是战胜了困难,进入了麻省理工学院,在那里他获得了计算机科学与人工智能学位。本空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Massachusetts Institute of Technology,关系词在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导。
4.difficulties 考查名词复数。根据空前形容词countless(无数的)可知,本空应用名词复数形式。故填difficulties。
5.truly 考查副词。本空修饰形容词remarkable,故应用副词truly作状语。
易错归因
本题容易错填truely。注意:true变副词时需要去掉e再加-ly。
6.has become 考查时态和主谓一致。设空处为主句的谓语,根据时间状语By now可知,本空应用现在完成时,主语Benjamin为第三人称单数,故填has become。
7.awareness 考查名词。本空作动词raise的宾语,应用名词形式。raise awareness of...意为“提高对……的意识”。
8.on/at 考查介词。句意:他还致力于开发辅助技术,例如可以为行动不便的人所用的语音控制计算机界面。work on/at doing sth.意为“致力于做某事”,故本空应用介词on或at。
9.using 考查非谓语动词。本句已有系动词is,故此处应用非谓语动词。本空作状语,动词use和其逻辑主语Benjamin之间为主动关系,应用动词的-ing形式。故填using。
10.to accept 考查非谓语动词。encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”,因此本空应用动词不定式形式。故填to accept。
Ⅲ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于果断的人和优柔寡断的人在做决策方面差异的研究,指出两者在决策的正确性、速度和敏感性上并无差异,仅在自信心方面存在不同。
【高频词汇】 1.commit to全心全意投入(工作、活动等) 2.decisive adj.果断的,坚决的→indecisive adj.犹豫不决的,优柔寡断的 3.cast light on阐明,使……更容易理解 4.distinguish v.区分,辨别 5.reveal v.揭示,显示 6.by contrast 相比之下,相反 7.caution n.谨慎,小心 8.initial adj.最初的,初始的 9.gain insights into深入了解,洞察 10.in no way绝不,一点也不
【差距词汇】 1.cognitive adj.认知的 2.bias n.偏见
1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,行动控制量表(Action Control Scale)的作用是判断一个人是行动导向型(果断)还是状态导向型(犹豫不决)。故选D。
2.A 推理判断题。第三段分别介绍了行动导向型人和状态导向型人的特点:行动导向型人更果断(decisive)、更有可能采取行动(take action)、灵活(flexible)且能坚持(persevere);状态导向型人关注情绪状态(focus on their emotional states)、害怕潜在的后悔(dread the potential regret)、犹豫(hesitant)且更频繁放弃承诺(abandon their commitments more frequently)。这是对第二段提到的“action-oriented or state-oriented”这两类人的背景信息的补充,让读者更好地理解这两类人的特征,故选A。
易错归因
B项
第三段首次详细阐述两类人的具体特征(如行动导向型的“灵活”“坚持”、状态导向型的“害怕潜在的后悔”),均为前文未提及的新信息,并非对前文的总结。
C项
第三段仅客观陈述两类人的固有特征,无任何“建议读者如何做”的表述,属于无中生有。
D项
第三段围绕第二段提出的核心概念“action-oriented”“state-oriented”展开,是对原有分类的特征补充,未引入全新讨论话题。
3.B 词义猜测题。第五段提到“他们发现在所有实验中,行动导向型的人对自己的选择更有信心。然而,在正确性、速度和敏感性方面没有‘divergences’。与此同时,优柔寡断的人在做出选择方面绝不逊色”。画线词前的However 表转折,前文强调自信度不同,后文则说明其他方面无区别,因此“divergences”意为“差异,区别”。故选B。
4.C 推理判断题。最后一段中的“Being less or more confident of the choice that has been made cannot affect the outcome. It can, however, influence future ones.”指出自信程度虽不影响当前选择的结果,但可能影响未来的结果。因此,下文很可能会讨论这种自信差距对未来结果的具体影响。故选C。
Ⅳ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了内心强大的人的特征。
【高频词汇】 1.collected adj.镇静的,冷静的
2.unshakable adj.不可动摇的,坚定不移的 3.uplift vt.鼓励;激励;使振奋 4.forced adj.勉强的;不自然的
5.infectious adj.有感染力的 6.commitment to 对……的投入;对……的承诺
【差距词汇】 1.assurance n.自信 2.outlook n.态度,观点 3.sweat the small stuff为琐事烦恼;纠结小事
4.perspective n.视角;观点 5.inevitable adj.不可避免的;总会发生的 6.clarity n.清晰的思维(或理解)能力;清晰;明确
1.G 上文“mentally strong persons are often calm, collected, and unshakable”介绍了内心强大的人通常冷静、沉着、不可动摇。G项“他们的平静源于内心,并塑造了他们应对生活挑战的方式”解释了他们为何能保持冷静,并自然地引出下文“如何知道自己是否正成为这样的人”的问题。G项中“they”指代前句中“mentally strong persons”。
2.C 下文“Confidence is a product...stick with them.”介绍了内心强大的人通过持续自律来建立自信,他们对自己信守承诺、设定目标并坚持到底。C项“以自律和真正的自信生活”精准地概括了本段的核心内容。C项中“self-discipline”和“confidence”在本段中复现。
3.A 下文提到“相反,他们以解决问题为导向的态度应对每一个障碍”,其中“Instead”表明前后是转折关系,A项中“假装问题不存在”的做法与下文构成转折关系,说明内心强大的人不会逃避问题,而是积极面对并解决问题。
4.F 本段主旨是“着眼大局,不为琐事烦恼”,后句通过“on the other hand”引出内心强大者的广阔视角。F 项“心胸狭隘的人会陷入琐碎的纷争和无休止的比较”与后句形成对比,突出内心强大者“着眼大局”的特质,使段落逻辑更鲜明。
5.E 上文提到内心强大的人有根深蒂固的信念,这些信念源于个人价值观、精神追求等。E 项“这些信念给他们指明方向,尤其是在混乱时期”进一步说明信念的作用,承接前文“信念”的话题,且E项中“These beliefs”与上文中的“deeply held beliefs”呼应。

Ramu看到房间里的东西时,

人物
Ramu,his teacher
开端
Ramu带着极大的热情做生意,但很快失败了,之后他并没有开始新的事业。
发展
老师将Ramu叫到家里,并给他看自己种植的已经死去的番茄。
高潮
Ramu起身要离开,老师让他在离开前再看一样东西。
Para. 1
他把Ramu带到另一个房间,打开了门。(段首句)
①Ramu在房间里看到了什么?
②Ramu问了什么问题?
③老师说了什么话让Ramu恍然大悟?(可联系第二段段首句)
Para. 2
就在那一刻,Ramu懂得了成功之道。(段首句)
①Ramu接下来怎么做的?
②从本故事中你得出了什么人生启示?
One possible version:
He took Ramu to another room and opened the door. There was a pile of big red tomatoes lying there. Ramu asked, “Why are you showing me this?” Just then the teacher said, “These tomatoes are the result of not giving up on growing plants. Similarly, if you keep doing the right things, your chance of getting success will be greatly increased. But if you give up because of one or two failures, life will reward you with nothing.”
At that very moment, Ramu read the lesson of success. He understood what he had to do now and left with a different idea. He conducted some market research and started a new business. No one could guarantee he would succeed this time but there was a chance. Like Ramu, many people make their failure as a reason for not trying further. It is true that no matter how hard we try, we cannot control the result. But it is also true that those who keep trying to get success will get it tomorrow if not today. Every failure is a step toward success.
