They 1 they can be excellent players one day. However, the road to success is 2 . They will meet all kinds of difficulties. Some people choose to give up 3 keeping going. Lily is one of these youngsters. She has a 4 of failing the competition. But she still 5 her dream. She tries her best every day, 6 she knows the task is risky.

Here is some advice. First, you need to accept who you really are. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Sally’s story teaches us this lesson well. She used to hate the 1 on her face. She felt people were secretly 2 at her. She tried to cover it with her long hair. But when Maddie told her that the birthmark looked like a beautiful red rose, Sally began to see herself 3 . Second, you should never give up when facing difficulties. Su Bingtian’s story is a perfect example. When he decided to change his starting foot at the age of 25, many people 4 him. But he didn’t 5 . He trained hard and fought his fears. In 2015, he ran 100 m in 9.99 seconds and 6 history. Third, believe in yourself. Su once told young people, “Never let your age hold you back. Have a try and try harder.” His words encourage us to 7 our dreams no matter what others say. Remember, accepting yourself is the first step. Then, work hard and 8 to your goals. You will achieve great 9 one day. Everyone can be a better 10 of themselves. 1．A．smile B．birthmark C．glasses D．freckle 2．A．looking B．shouting C．pointing D．knocking 3．A．worse B．differently C．sadly D．angrily 4．A．praised B．doubted C．thanked D．followed 5．A．continue B．practice C．give up D．slow down 6．A．missed B．forgot C．made D．lost 7．A．stick to B．give up C．run away from D．look down on 8．A．lie B．stick C．turn D．pay 9．A．failure B．success C．trouble D．worry 10．A．version B．copy C．photo D．story 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．C 6．C 7．A 8．B 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文通过萨莉接纳自身胎记、苏炳添坚持追梦两个事例，告诉我们接纳自我、不轻言放弃、坚守梦想就能成为更好的自己。 1．句意：她曾经十分厌恶自己脸上的胎记。 后文原文出现“the birthmark looked like a beautiful red rose”，上下文对应，文中核心线索就是胎记，应用birthmark。smile“微笑”；glasses“眼镜”；freckle“雀斑”，语义均不符。 2．句意：她总觉得人们在背地里对着她指指点点。 固定搭配：point at，表示“指指点点”，带有嘲讽、议论的负面含义，贴合她自卑、遮挡胎记的心情，应用pointing。looking at“看着”，中性无恶意，不会让她自卑；shouting at“冲人大吼”；knocking at“敲门”语义均不符。 3．句意：萨莉开始用不一样的眼光看待自己。 副词修饰动词“see”。之前她厌恶胎记，听完麦迪的话后心态转变，看待自己的方式变得不同，应用differently。worse“更糟糕”，语义相反；sadly“难过地”；angrily“生气地”，均无法体现心态转变。 4．句意：当他25岁决定更换起跑腿时，很多人都质疑他。 根据后文“But he didn’t give up”存在转折，说明旁人不看好、怀疑他。全文为过去时态，应用过去式doubted。praised“夸赞”语义相反；thanked“感谢”；followed“跟随”，逻辑均不通。 5．句意：但他并没有放弃。 “never give up when facing difficulties”表示“遇到困难绝不放弃”，应用give up。continue“继续”；practice“练习”；slow down“放慢速度”，逻辑均不符。 6．句意：2015年，他跑出9秒99的百米成绩，创造了历史。 固定短语：make history表示“创造历史”，全文过去时态，应用made。missed“错过”；forgot“忘记”；lost“丢失”，语义均不符。 7．句意：无论别人说什么，他的话激励我们坚守梦想。 固定短语：encourage sb. to do，后接动词短语原形。固定搭配：stick to dreams表示“坚守梦想”，应用stick to。give up“放弃”，语义相反；run away from“逃避”；look down on”看不起”，均不符合语境。 8．句意：认清自我，努力拼搏，坚守自己的目标。 固定搭配：stick to goals表示“坚守目标”，and连接并列两个动词短语“work hard”和“stick to your goals”，应用动词原形stick。lie“躺”；turn“转向”；pay“支付”，均不符。 9．句意：终有一天，你会取得巨大的成功。 全文主题是成为更好的自己、坚持梦想，是正向积极内容。achieve great success表示“取得巨大成功”，应用success。failure“失败”，语义相反；trouble“麻烦”；worry“担忧”为负面词汇，均不符。 10．句意：每个人都能成为更好的自己。 文章首尾呼应，开头“become a better version of yourself”，结尾对应“a better version of themselves”，应用version。copy“副本”；photo“照片”；story“故事”，均不符。 Hello, everyone! I’m Li Ming. I’m a new student in Grade 8. Today is my first day at school. I feel a little nervous but also excited. When I 1 the classroom, all the students look at me.

If I got a D (Pass), I was very 1 . If I got a C minus (C-), I had achieved greatness. It wasn’t 2 for me to get As and Bs. Once my teacher had given me a ten-word 3 test. My mother and I went over the list again and again 4 I knew those words. The next day, I went into the classroom and began to 5 the words. The first word was “truck”. I wrote that one down:t-r-u-c-k. Then came the 6 “neighbour”—I wrote down the letter “n”. I knew there was an “r”. Then I wrote “n-i-r-b”. Where did the rest words go? Some people talk about information 7 from their mind. They can’t remember it. A learning disability (障碍) can really 8 the way you feel about yourself. Now I know that even if I learn differently, I can still be filled with greatness. Today when I visit 9 , I tell students that everyone has something special.

One day, I asked my mom if she liked Penelope better than me. My mom said that though Penelope was a 3 girl, no one could replace (取代) me. I 4 , “She is much smarter and more outgoing than me.” My mom said those were wonderful points, but I was the only person who could play my 5 . Then I told my mom that I always made people unhappy. My mom asked me to find out 6 I made others unhappy. She told me that if I made them unhappy because I did something wrong, I should 7 my mistakes and learn from them. If they were unhappy with me because of the differences between us, I should try to 8 them and find a better solution. My mom’s words helped me a lot. She made me believe in myself.

When he was in the ninth grade, he was asked to write a 1 about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. One night, Mike sat down and wrote the seven-page paper. In it, he said that he dreamed of 2 a big horse ranch (牧场) one day. He described his dream in a lot of detail (细节), and he 3 drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with all the buildings on it. Mike worked really hard on his paper and handed it in to his teacher the next day. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with a note that read, “See me after class.” The boy 4 went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I just get an ‘F’?” The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic (不现实的) dream for a young boy like you 5 your family is not rich. Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of 6 . You have to buy the land and also you have to pay for other things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic dream, I’ll think about 7 your grade.” The boy went home and thought about what the teacher said for a long time. But still, he didn’t know what to do. He asked his father for 8 . His father said, “Dear son, you have to make up your own mind on this. But I think it is a very 9 one for you.” Finally, after thinking about it for a few days, the boy decided to hand in (上交) the same paper, making 10 changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the ‘F’ and I’ll keep my dream.” 1．A．diary B．paper C．note 2．A．owning B．winning C．painting 3．A．never B．just C．even 4．A．quickly B．happily C．comfortably 5．A．although B．because C．but 6．A．work B．time C．money 7．A．writing B．improving C．keeping 8．A．help B．information C．education 9．A．interesting B．important C．meaningless 10．A．no B．some C．many 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．B 6．C 7．B 8．A 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文讲述了驯马师的儿子Mike坚持自己的梦想，不因老师的否定而放弃梦想的励志故事。 1．句意：九年级时，他被要求写一篇关于长大后想成为什么、做什么的文章。 后文“Mike sat down and wrote the seven-page paper”和“he got his paper back”说明此处指写一篇作文。应选用paper，表示“文章”，符合语境。diary“日记”，通常记录日常而非理想规划；note“便条”，篇幅短小，与后文“seven-page”矛盾，均排除。 2．句意：在文中，他说自己梦想有一天拥有一个大马场。 根据下文老师说的话“Owning a horse ranch needs…”可知，此处指拥有牧场，owning“拥有”。winning“赢得”，不符合语境，painting“绘画”，只是动作而非梦想核心，故排除。 3．句意：他详细描述了自己的梦想，甚至还画了一张200英亩牧场的图纸，上面标有所有建筑。 前文“described his dream in a lot of detail (细节)”提到他用大量文字细节描述梦想，后文“drew a picture of…on it”提到他画了牧场的详细图纸，这是比文字描述更进一步的行动，二者存在递进关系。应选用even，表示“甚至”，突出他为呈现梦想所做的额外努力。never“从不”，与文意相反；just“仅仅”，无法体现这种递进语气，故排除。 4．句意：男孩课后立刻去见了老师，问道：“我为什么得了个‘F’？” 前文老师留言“See me after class”，后文提到男孩文章得了“F”，此刻他应是急切想要知道原因，选用quickly，表示“立刻、快速地”，符合当时的急切心情。happily“开心地”，comfortably“安逸地”，均与语境矛盾，故排除。 5．句意：像你这样的小男孩有这样的梦想是不现实的，因为你的家庭并不富裕。 家庭不富是梦想不现实的原因，所以此处表因果关系，用because引导原因状语从句。although“虽然”，表让步；but“但是”，表转折，均不符合因果逻辑，故排除。 6．句意：拥有一个牧场需要很多钱。 根据后文“You have to buy the land and also you have to pay for other things”，可知此处指需要大量资金。应选用money，表示“金钱”。work“工作”，time“时间”，均不是老师强调的核心障碍，故排除。 7．句意：如果你用一个更现实的梦想重写这篇文章，我会考虑提高你的成绩。 前文提到男孩子的文章得分是F，“If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic dream”说明老师希望男孩重写作文，所以重写文章是为了能提高分数，应选用improving，表示“提高”。writing“书写”，keeping“保持”，二者和grade连用不符合上下文逻辑，故排除。 8．句意：他向父亲寻求帮助。 前文“he didn’t know what to do”说明男孩子面对老师的要求不知如何抉择，因此需要父亲的建议或帮助。选用help，表示“帮助”，ask sb. for help“寻求某人的帮助”，是固定搭配。information“信息”，education“教育”，均与语境不符，故排除。 9．句意：但我认为这对你来说是一件非常重要的事。 前文“you have to make up your own mind on this”说明父亲让男孩自己做决定，结合后文男孩坚持梦想的情节，可知这件事对他意义重大。应选用important，表示“重要的”，符合父亲的劝勉语气。interesting“有趣的”，meaningless“无意义的”，均不符合语境，故排除。 10．句意：最后，经过几天的思考，男孩决定上交同一篇文章，一点修改也不做。 根据前文“hand in the same paper”及后文“I’ll keep my dream”，可知文章未改动，应选用no，“make no changes”意为“毫无改动”，符合语境。some“一些”，many“许多”，均与“上交同一篇文章”矛盾，故排除。 重难语篇练习 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 I used to be a shy girl who always hid behind others. I never 1 in class discussions, and I always sat in the back row so that nobody would 2 me. Everything changed when I joined the school drama club last term. Mrs. Green, our drama teacher, 3 me to try out for the lead role in the school play. “You have a gift for 4 ,” she said. “I can see it in your eyes.” I was terrified. The thought of standing on stage in front of hundreds of people made my hands 5 . But Mrs. Green believed in me, so I decided to give it a try. The first few weeks were 6 . I forgot my lines, spoke too quietly, and even fell over during rehearsal. I wanted to 7 many times. “Maybe I'm just not cut out for this,” I thought. Then one day, Mrs. Green pulled me aside after practice. “Do you know 8 the most successful actors have in common?” she asked. “They all 9 failure before they succeeded. What matters is that you keep going.” Her words 10 something inside me. From that day on, I practised harder than ever. I recorded myself, studied my lines in front of the mirror, and asked my classmates for 11 . Slowly but surely, I began to improve. On the night of the performance, as the curtain rose, I felt a strange sense of 12 . I wasn’t nervous anymore. I was excited. When I finished my final line, the audience erupted in applause. I had done it! That experience taught me a valuable lesson: we often 13 ourselves more than we should. We let fear and doubt build walls around us.

I was excited.”表明，作者不再紧张，而是感到“平静”，calm“平静的”符合语境，fear“恐惧”、anger“愤怒”和sadness“悲伤”均与“不紧张、兴奋”的语境矛盾。 13．句意：这段经历给了我宝贵的教训：我们常常过度限制自己。 下文“We let fear and doubt build walls around us”表明，人们因恐惧和怀疑而“限制”自己，limit“限制”符合语境，trust“信任”、understand“理解”和praise“赞扬”均不符合自我设限的语境。 14．句意：但如果我们有勇气走出舒适区，就或许能发掘出那些我们从不知道自己拥有的天赋。 上文“fear and doubt build walls”表明，克服恐惧需要“勇气”，courage“勇气”符合语境，time“时间”、money“金钱”和luck“运气”均与突破自我的核心要素不符。 15．句意：但如果我们有勇气走出舒适区，就或许能发掘出那些我们从不知道自己拥有的天赋。 下文“discover talents”表明，这些天赋是“拥有”但未意识到的，had“拥有”符合语境，needed“需要”、lost“失去”和wanted“想要”均与“已存在但未被发现”的语义不符。 Amy is my best friend.

They were 10 that but they chose to understand her and respect her decision. So they 11 invited a great doctor to operate (动手术) on her.
