Write down your strengths every day and try new activities step by step. Responsibility Being willing to accept the results of your choices and actions. Keep promises, admit mistakes quickly and fix problems without making excuses. Modesty Knowing your worth but not thinking you are better than others. Listen to others' ideas carefully and learn from people around you every day. Determination Continuing to work toward a goal even when faced with difficulties. Set a small clear goal, make a simple plan for it and stick to your schedule. 46. What does self-confidence mean according to the table? A. Thinking you are perfect. B. Believing in your abilities. C. Never making mistakes. D. Avoiding all new things. 47. How can a person develop determination? A. Set a goal and stick to it. B. Give up when things get hard. C. Wait for others to push them. D. Change plans every hour in text. 48. What can be learned from the table about modesty? A. It means refusing to learn. B. It means ignoring advice. C. It means acting alone always. D. It means listening to others. B When I entered vocational school two years ago, I often compared myself with others. Some classmates seemed more outgoing, others got higher scores, and I felt that I was not good enough. This feeling made me quiet in class and afraid to try new things. I thought I just did not have the ability to succeed. One day, our head teacher asked everyone to write a letter to their future self. I wrote about the person I wanted to become: someone who could speak in public, help others and feel proud of small achievements. After writing the letter, I felt something change inside me. It was not magic — it was a new kind of hope. I started with small goals. First, I volunteered to read a notice in class. My voice shook, but I finished. Then I joined the school debate club, where I learned to express my ideas clearly. I also began to help a younger student with English every Wednesday. These small steps did not change me overnight, but after a year, I was no longer the quiet girl who sat in the corner. I became someone who believes that growth is always possible. 49. How did the writer feel two years ago? A. Very proud of herself. B. Better than everyone. C. Not good enough. D. Ready to try anything. 50. What did the teacher ask students to do? A. Write to their future self. B. Draw a beautiful picture. C. Sing a song in class. D. Change their seats. 51. What change happened after one year? A. She stopped going to school. B. She became the top student. C. She moved to another city. D. She believed growth is possible. 52. What is the main message of the passage? A. Comparing helps build confidence. B. Small steps lead to growth. C. Only top students succeed. D. Teachers decide everything. C Improving yourself does not require a huge event. It often starts with small daily habits that are easy to ignore. Many people wait for the perfect moment — the beginning of a new year, the first day of a month, or a sudden flash of motivation. The truth is that the perfect moment rarely comes. What works better is to begin today, with something so simple that you cannot say no. Take the story of a young man named Chen Hao. He wanted to become more knowledgeable but always felt too busy to read. Instead of setting a goal of one book per week, he made a tiny promise: read just two pages before bed every night. Most nights he read more than two, but on tired nights, he stopped at two. After one year, he had finished fourteen books — far more than he had read in the previous three years combined. The same idea works for other changes. If you want to be healthier, start with a five-minute walk. If you want to be more thankful, write one sentence of thanks each day. The power of small habits is not in one single action, but in the chain they create over time. Just as drops of water can wear away a stone, small repeated efforts can reshape a person's character and future. 53. Why do many people fail to improve themselves? A. They wait for a perfect time. B. They read too many books. C. They walk too much every day. D. They give too much help. 54. What did Chen Hao promise to do every night? A. Write a long story. B. Run for two hours. C. Read two pages of a book. D. Cook a full meal. 55. What does 'chain' mean in the last paragraph? A. A single strong rope. B. A series connected over time. C. A type of heavy stone. D. A kind of short walk. 56. What is the best title for the passage? A. Why Waiting Always Works. B. How to Read Fifty Books. C. The Danger of Walking. D. The Power of Small Habits. D Many people think becoming a better person means changing who you are. A more helpful view is that it is like uncovering a stone already inside you. The good qualities exist. The work is to remove the dust and let them shine. This changes how we see mistakes. If you think you are building from zero, every mistake feels like a failure. But if you are uncovering what is there, a mistake becomes a signal — a sign that a certain part needs more work. It no longer says 'you are not good.' It says 'there is more to discover.' Learning from others is part of this process. A classmate good at maths may show you a new way. An elder may teach you how to handle sadness. No one becomes better alone. We grow through watching, trying and reflecting. The willingness to learn from anyone is itself a sign of inner strength. Becoming a better person is not a destination you finally reach. It is a direction you choose every morning. Some days you move forward. Other days you may move backward. What matters is that you keep walking. 57. What is the 'uncovering' view of becoming better? A. Good qualities are already inside us. B. People are born with nothing good. C. Change means becoming a new person. D. Adding colours to a blank page. 58. How do mistakes look under the uncovering view? A. As reasons to stop trying. B. As proof of being worthless. C. As signs that more work is needed. D. As things to hide from others. 59. What does the writer say about learning from others? A. It means you are weak inside. B. It stops your own growth path. C. It works only with top experts. D. It shows inner strength to learn. 60. What is the writer's main message? A. Only young people can improve. B. Growth is a direction, not a stop. C. Mistakes should always be hidden. D. Learning alone is the best way. 第二节 补全对话（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） A: You look a bit worried, Li Hua. (61)______ B: I want to improve myself, but I don't know where to start.

The same idea works for other changes. If you want to be healthier, start with a five-minute walk. If you want to be more thankful, write one sentence of thanks each day. The power of small habits is not in one single action, but in the chain they create over time. Just as drops of water can wear away a stone, small repeated efforts can reshape a person's character and future. 53. Why do many people fail to improve themselves? A. They wait for a perfect time.

A more helpful view is that it is like uncovering a stone already inside you. The good qualities exist. The work is to remove the dust and let them shine. This changes how we see mistakes. If you think you are building from zero, every mistake feels like a failure. But if you are uncovering what is there, a mistake becomes a signal — a sign that a certain part needs more work. It no longer says 'you are not good.' It says 'there is more to discover.' Learning from others is part of this process. A classmate good at maths may show you a new way. An elder may teach you how to handle sadness. No one becomes better alone. We grow through watching, trying and reflecting. The willingness to learn from anyone is itself a sign of inner strength. Becoming a better person is not a destination you finally reach. It is a direction you choose every morning. Some days you move forward. Other days you may move backward. What matters is that you keep walking. 57. What is the 'uncovering' view of becoming better? A. Good qualities are already inside us. B. People are born with nothing good. C. Change means becoming a new person. D. Adding colours to a blank page. 58. How do mistakes look under the uncovering view? A. As reasons to stop trying. B. As proof of being worthless. C. As signs that more work is needed. D. As things to hide from others. 59. What does the writer say about learning from others? A. It means you are weak inside. B. It stops your own growth path. C. It works only with top experts. D. It shows inner strength to learn. 60. What is the writer's main message? A. Only young people can improve. B. Growth is a direction, not a stop. C. Mistakes should always be hidden. D. Learning alone is the best way. 【答案】57. A 58. C 59. D 60. B 【导语】本文讨论自我提升应视作挖掘内在品质而非从零建造，并强调从他人处学习和持续前行的重要性。 【详解】 57. 细节理解。第一段比喻好的品质就像石头早已存在，只需清除灰尘让它发光，故选A。 58. 细节理解。第二段说明在挖掘观下错误只是信号，提示某部分还需努力，故选C。 59. 细节理解。第三段末句说愿意向任何人学习本身就是内在力量的表现，故选D。 60. 主旨大意。末段明确说成为更好的人不是终点而是每天选择的方向，重要的是坚持前行，故选B。 第二节 补全对话（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） A: You look a bit worried, Li Hua.

Everyone faces difficulties at some point, and one test does not decide your future. When I felt down last year, I started writing two things I did well each day. This small habit helped me see my strengths again. You could also try setting a tiny goal, like studying one topic a day. Step by step, you will feel more confident. I believe in you and I know you can get through this. Let's talk more after school. Yours, Li Hua 【词汇积累】 face difficulties：面对困难 at some point：在某个时刻 decide one's future：决定某人的未来 see one's strengths：看到自己的优势 step by step：一步一步地 【句式拓展】 When I felt down last year, I started writing two things I did well each day. when引导时间状语从句，主句描述应对困难的行动，适合用于讲述个人经历和给建议。 【点睛】 范文采用一般现在时和过去时结合，先表达理解再分享个人方法，最后表达信心，结构为共情—建议—鼓励，适合鼓励信件的仿写。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
