While natural talent helps, researchers have found that habits matter much more. A study of over 200 high achievers showed that most of them share a few simple daily practices. These habits are not secret — anyone can learn them. The first habit is setting clear goals. Successful people do not just think about what they want. They write it down and break it into smaller steps. The second is continuous learning. They read, listen and ask questions every single day, not just when a test is coming. The third is taking responsibility. When things go wrong, they look at what they could have done differently instead of pointing fingers at others. A fourth habit, often overlooked, is rest and reflection. High achievers know that constant work without breaks leads to burnout. They build short pauses into their day — a walk after lunch or ten minutes of quiet thinking before bed. These moments allow the mind to process what it has learned and prepare for what comes next. Growth is not a race against others. It is a steady walk toward a better self. 49. What matters more than talent according to the study? A. Natural gifts at birth. B. Daily habits and practice. C. Money from parents. D. Luck in every test. 50. How do successful people handle failures? A. Look at what they can improve. B. Blame other people around. C. Give up and start again. D. Ignore the whole problem. 51. What does 'burnout' most likely mean? A. A hot bright fire. B. A kind of short break. C. A quick phone call. D. Physical and mental tiredness. 52. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Only the talented succeed. B. Learning stops after school. C. Rest is part of real growth. D. Goals are never written down. 【答案】49. B 50. A 51. D 52. C 【导语】本文介绍成功人士共有的四个日常习惯：设定明确目标、持续学习、承担责任以及休息反思。 【详解】 49. 细节理解。第一段说明研究人员发现习惯比天赋更重要，故选B。 50. 细节理解。第二段说成功者面对错误会反思自己可以做什么不同，而不是指责他人，故选A。 51. 词义猜测。第三段说持续工作不停歇导致burnout，应指身心疲惫，故选D。 52. 推断判断。第三段强调休息和反思是高效者的习惯之一，可推知休息也是真正成长的一部分，故选C。 C A few years ago, a secondary school in Jiangsu province noticed something worrying. Many students were doing well in exams but showed little interest in helping others or taking part in community life. They could solve difficult maths problems but could not work well in a team. The school decided to try something new. It introduced a 'growth passport' — a small notebook in which students recorded not just grades, but also acts of kindness, times they helped a classmate, moments they controlled their temper, and days they faced a fear. Once a month, students shared one story from their passport with a small group. Teachers listened without grading. The focus was not on competition but on honest sharing. After two terms, changes became visible. Students who used to stay quiet began to speak. Those who often argued learned to listen. The school found that when students were given a way to notice their own growth — not just test scores — they became more self-aware and more confident. The head teacher said in an interview that education should not only fill a mind with facts. It should also open a heart to growth. The passport was not another task to complete. It was a mirror that helped students see themselves more clearly. 53. What problem did the school notice at first? A. Students had little interest in helping. B. All students failed every exam. C. Teachers refused to give any tests. D. The school had no classrooms left. 54. What did the 'growth passport' record? A. Only the highest test scores. B. Money spent on school meals. C. Acts of kindness and personal moments. D. School bus arrival times. 55. What was the focus of the group sharing? A. Competition for top places. B. Honest sharing without grading. C. Quick test score checking. D. Silent reading alone. 56. What does the head teacher believe? A. Only test scores truly matter. B. Students need no self-awareness. C. Kindness has no place in school. D. Education should open hearts too. 【答案】53. A 54. C 55. B 56. D 【导语】本文介绍江苏一所中学通过成长护照让学生记录善举和个人成长，从而提升自我认知和自信的故事。 【详解】 53. 细节理解。第一段说学生成绩好但不太关心帮助他人或参与社区活动，故选A。 54. 细节理解。第二段说明护照记录善举、帮助他人、控制情绪和面对恐惧的时刻，故选C。 55. 细节理解。第二段末句说分享的重点不是竞争而是诚实分享且老师不评分，故选B。 56. 观点态度。第三段引用校长的话说教育不仅要填满头脑还要打开心灵，故选D。 D In a world that celebrates speed — quick results and instant fame — slow self-improvement sounds old-fashioned. Yet more people are discovering that real change cannot be rushed. It grows like a tree, not like a fire. Slow self-improvement starts with acceptance — that you are always a work in progress. This does not mean giving up on goals. It means setting them with patience. Instead of 'How can I change everything next month?', you ask 'What one thing can I do better this week?' These small actions look weak at first, but their power comes from repetition over time. There is a deeper truth: trying to improve too quickly often leads to giving up. When people expect fast results, the first difficulty seems like proof of failure. When they expect a slow road, the same difficulty becomes just another step. The difference is not in the problem but in the patience. Becoming a better person is not about reaching a perfect version of yourself. It is about the habit of returning — to your goals after a bad day, to your values after a wrong choice. In a world that asks you to run, choosing to walk with purpose may be the most powerful decision you can make. 57. What does the writer compare real change to? A. A growing tree. B. A burning fire. C. A fast car race. D. A quick phone call. 58. What question does slow self-improvement ask? A. How can I change everything now? B. Why is everyone so fast? C. What can I do better this week? D. When can I stop trying? 59. What does the writer say about fast expectations? A. They bring quick lasting success. B. They lead to giving up more easily. C. They help people stay patient. D. They make difficulties disappear in text. 60. What is the writer's final message? A. Change everything in one month. B. Never return to old goals. C. Speed is always the answer. D. Walk with purpose, not for speed. 【答案】57. A 58. C 59. B 60. D 【导语】本文讨论慢速自我提升的理念，强调接受、耐心和回归习惯的价值，提倡有目标地稳步前行。 【详解】 57. 细节理解。第一段比喻真正的改变像树一样生长，不像火一样快速燃烧，故选A。 58. 细节理解。第二段对比了急功近利的问法和耐心设定的问法，后者询问本周能做得更好的一件事，故选C。 59. 细节理解。第三段说明期待快速结果的人在首次困难来临时容易放弃，故选B。 60. 主旨大意。末段提出在快节奏的世界中选择有目标地行走是最有力的决定，故选D。 第二节 补全对话（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） A: I read an interesting article about successful people yesterday. (61)______ B: What did it say about their habits? A: (62)______ They write down goals, learn every day, and take breaks for rest. B: That sounds simple. But why do so many people fail to succeed?

My topic today is Growing Through Challenges. Last year, I was afraid of speaking in front of others. When the teacher asked a question, my heart beat fast and I looked down at my desk. One day, I decided to change. I started by answering one question in class each week. At first, my voice was very low, but I did not give up. Slowly, I became more comfortable. I even joined the school English club and gave a short speech. This experience taught me that courage is not about never feeling afraid. It is about taking one small step even when you are afraid. Growing through challenges means trusting that every step, no matter how small, brings you closer to the person you want to become. Thank you. 【词汇积累】 be afraid of doing：害怕做某事 look down at my desk：低头看课桌 become more comfortable：变得更自在 take a small step：迈出一小步 bring you closer to：让你更接近 【句式拓展】 Courage is not about never feeling afraid. It is about taking one small step even when you are afraid. not...but...对比结构，用两句话解释勇气的真正含义，适合用于演讲中的观点陈述。 【点睛】 范文为英语演讲稿体裁，以个人克服公开演讲恐惧的经历为主线，使用一般过去时和一般现在时，结构为引言—经历—感悟，语言真挚有感染力，适合仿写。 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 $ 编写说明：本套试卷紧扣《英语 拓展模块》（语文版2022版）教材，以教材单元为基准精准覆盖核心考点。 每个单元设置AB卷，A卷为基础巩固卷，侧重基础考点训练，帮助学生扎实掌握知识要点；B卷为能力提升卷，注重知识整合与全面检测，引导学生构建知识网络。全书设计4份综合测试卷，模拟实战情境，聚焦解题能力突破，全面提升应试能力与知识应用水平。 《英语 拓展模块》（语文版2022版）《单元过关卷》 Unit 9 Becoming a Better Person B卷·能力提升 考试时间：120分钟 满分：120分 班级_____姓名_____学号_____成绩_____ 第一部分 英语知识运用（共四节，满分55分） 第一节 语音知识（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出画线部分读音不同的一项。 1.

A study of over 200 high achievers showed that most of them share a few simple daily practices. These habits are not secret — anyone can learn them. The first habit is setting clear goals. Successful people do not just think about what they want. They write it down and break it into smaller steps. The second is continuous learning. They read, listen and ask questions every single day, not just when a test is coming. The third is taking responsibility. When things go wrong, they look at what they could have done differently instead of pointing fingers at others. A fourth habit, often overlooked, is rest and reflection. High achievers know that constant work without breaks leads to burnout. They build short pauses into their day — a walk after lunch or ten minutes of quiet thinking before bed. These moments allow the mind to process what it has learned and prepare for what comes next. Growth is not a race against others. It is a steady walk toward a better self. 49.

C A few years ago, a secondary school in Jiangsu province noticed something worrying. Many students were doing well in exams but showed little interest in helping others or taking part in community life. They could solve difficult maths problems but could not work well in a team. The school decided to try something new. It introduced a 'growth passport' — a small notebook in which students recorded not just grades, but also acts of kindness, times they helped a classmate, moments they controlled their temper, and days they faced a fear. Once a month, students shared one story from their passport with a small group. Teachers listened without grading. The focus was not on competition but on honest sharing. After two terms, changes became visible. Students who used to stay quiet began to speak. Those who often argued learned to listen. The school found that when students were given a way to notice their own growth — not just test scores — they became more self-aware and more confident. The head teacher said in an interview that education should not only fill a mind with facts. It should also open a heart to growth. The passport was not another task to complete. It was a mirror that helped students see themselves more clearly. 53. What problem did the school notice at first? A. Students had little interest in helping. B. All students failed every exam. C. Teachers refused to give any tests. D. The school had no classrooms left. 54. What did the 'growth passport' record? A. Only the highest test scores. B. Money spent on school meals. C. Acts of kindness and personal moments. D. School bus arrival times. 55. What was the focus of the group sharing? A. Competition for top places. B. Honest sharing without grading. C. Quick test score checking. D. Silent reading alone. 56. What does the head teacher believe? A. Only test scores truly matter. B. Students need no self-awareness. C. Kindness has no place in school. D. Education should open hearts too. D In a world that celebrates speed — quick results and instant fame — slow self-improvement sounds old-fashioned. Yet more people are discovering that real change cannot be rushed. It grows like a tree, not like a fire. Slow self-improvement starts with acceptance — that you are always a work in progress. This does not mean giving up on goals. It means setting them with patience. Instead of 'How can I change everything next month?', you ask 'What one thing can I do better this week?' These small actions look weak at first, but their power comes from repetition over time. There is a deeper truth: trying to improve too quickly often leads to giving up. When people expect fast results, the first difficulty seems like proof of failure. When they expect a slow road, the same difficulty becomes just another step. The difference is not in the problem but in the patience. Becoming a better person is not about reaching a perfect version of yourself. It is about the habit of returning — to your goals after a bad day, to your values after a wrong choice. In a world that asks you to run, choosing to walk with purpose may be the most powerful decision you can make. 57. What does the writer compare real change to? A. A growing tree. B. A burning fire. C. A fast car race. D. A quick phone call. 58. What question does slow self-improvement ask? A. How can I change everything now? B. Why is everyone so fast? C. What can I do better this week? D. When can I stop trying? 59. What does the writer say about fast expectations? A. They bring quick lasting success. B. They lead to giving up more easily. C. They help people stay patient. D. They make difficulties disappear in text. 60. What is the writer's final message? A. Change everything in one month. B. Never return to old goals. C. Speed is always the answer. D. Walk with purpose, not for speed. 第二节 补全对话（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） A: I read an interesting article about successful people yesterday. (61)______ B: What did it say about their habits?
