五年高考真题练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2025北京,B)
Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay. Will the golden word “success” form in their minds when they review our achievements? Or will they see the big word “fail” in red? The shadow of this mysterious (神秘的) institution steals away what success means to us.
My first step of redefining success began with course registrations. It is a well-known fact, especially in my school, that Junior year is the time of packing many AP classes into the schedule. When asked why they chose so many AP classes, my friends responded: “I don't know.” They themselves don't know why they are following the crowd and longing for the pressures of academic difficulty. Therefore, they do not feel the satisfaction of being academically challenged.
Completing many courses no longer brings out the feeling of success because more than four AP classes per year is a norm set by top universities. Determined to follow my instincts (本能) on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy. The feeling of success was no longer attached to what grade I received but to the pure joy of learning.
Even my failures are attached to a feeling of success; after I take a step back and look at the big picture, I see them as a launching pad (平台) for my next big achievement. In the ninth grade, I went in for my first group interview for a leadership position as a shy girl. Not standing a chance against competitive applicants, I came out of the interview with an upset look. Nevertheless, this interview wasn't a wasted opportunity. I talked to one of the senior applicants who answered questions in a way that reflected the faith she had in herself.
This year, with an open mind and new knowledge in mind, I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position. Ultimately, success came little by little.

Tricks To Becoming A More Patient Person
Here's a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There's one answer: 1 .
In the Digital Age, we're used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we'd be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
•Practice gratitude(感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. 2 . “Showing thankfulness can foster self-control,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
•Make yourself wait
Instant gratification(满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. 3 . Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You'll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other, more annoying situations.
• 4
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself,“ 5 .” You'll then gradually become more patient.
A.Find your causes
B.Start with small tasks
C.Accept the uncomfortable
D.All this adds up to a state of hurry
E.It can also help us practice more patience
F.This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G.They're all situations where we could use a little extra patience

答案与分层梯度式解析
五年高考真题练
Ⅰ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在高中阶段对“成功”这一概念的反思和重新定义。
1.D 推理判断题。题干中的concern和首句中的worried是同义表达,因此定位在第一段。根据第一句“Throughout our Junior year, my classmates and I have been worried about what colleges will see when they look at our whole life story reduced to a single 200-word essay.”可知,作者担心的是大学的看法。whole life story指的是作者在申请大学时所写的200字的申请材料。该段的两个问句表达了作者的焦虑。由此可以推断,作者担心的是大学对自己的认可。故选D。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Determined to follow my instincts on what I felt success means, I only chose two classes that I knew I would enjoy.”可知,作者选择较少的AP课程是因为她自己对成功的理解。故选A。
3.B 推理判断题。根据题干关键词first group interview可定位到倒数第二段。根据“this interview wasn't a wasted opportunity”可知,作者认为此次面试并不是一次被浪费掉的机会。并且作者提到一位学姐,作者认为她很自信。结合最后一段中的“This year...I walked into another group interview while telling myself I was that cool senior. I managed to secure a leadership position.”可知,作者通过从第一次面试中学到的经验(模仿学姐的自信)才在第二次的面试中成功获得职位。由此可以推断,作者的第一次团体面试是有意义的(Rewarding)。
4.A 推理判断题。文章最后一句“Ultimately, success came little by little.”强调成功是一个渐进的过程。A项(每个人都是自己成功的创造者)与文中作者自主选择课程、自己定义成功相符,又符合最后一句提到的“成功是一个渐进的过程”。
【高考词汇站】 1.achievement 2.重新定义
3.academic;academically 4.satisfaction 5.competitive
6.(尤指经过努力)获得,取得,实现
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了成为一个更加有耐心的人的技巧。
1.G 过渡句。前一句引用了一个谜语,该谜语的意思是“交通拥堵、排长队和等待假期开始这些情况有什么共同点?”,设空处内容是该谜语的谜底,并且该空位于第一段,应起到引出主题、总领全文的作用。结合选项可知,G选项(这些都是我们需要多用点耐心的情况)既能概括谜语中提到的三种情况,又能起到引出主题的作用。故选G。
2.E 细节句。该空位于小标题“Practice gratitude”下面。前一句说明了感激的好处,但并没有将感激与耐心相结合。后一句说明了表达感激可以培养自制力。由此可以推断,设空处应该说明感激与耐心的关系。分析选项可知,只有E选项阐述了感激与耐心的关系,其中的It指Thankfulness,并且also起到承接上文的作用。故选E。
3.B 过渡句。前一句指出养成等待这一习惯的唯一方法就是去训练,后一句用具体的例子(推迟看最喜欢的节目,吃蛋糕前多等十分钟)说明应如何训练。由此可知,设空处应该阐述如何训练,并与下文所举的例子相呼应。B选项就是训练指导,且small tasks与后文举的例子相呼应。故选B。
4.C 主旨句。设空处是本段小标题。根据前面两个小标题的特点可知,设空处应该用祈使句,符合其特点的是A、B、C三个选项,B选项已排除;结合本段中的“being comfortable is the only...experience something outside of our comfort zone”可推知,C选项(接受不适)符合语境。故选C。
5.F 细节句。后一句提到“那样你就会逐渐变得更有耐心”,从then可以看出此句与前一句为顺承关系,由此推知,设空处应该是介绍怎么处理“不舒适”的情况,作者劝告读者怎么去做,所以F选项“这仅仅是不舒适,而不是无法忍受”符合题意。由本段中的关键词comfortable、tolerate也可以推知设空处作者给的劝告与此相关。故选F。
【篇章结构图】1.Traffic jams 2.the Digital Age
