Never Give Up: The Story of Quan Hongchan
“Keep trying, and you’ll make it. Nothing is out of reach if you put your heart into it.” These words, once said by a sports legend, perfectly fit the story of Quan Hongchan and the q 1 of perseverance (毅力) she shows.
Quan Hongchan started diving at a very young age. When she first joined the diving team, she was smaller and less strong than many of her teammates. Some people d 2 if she could make it in the competitive world of diving. But Quan didn’t let those words h 3 her back. How did she face them and s 4 ?
Every day, she would p 5 diving countless times. When she wasn’t s 6 with her own dives, she’d ask the coach to replay the video and correct every small mistake.

“Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” It is a popular topic today. Many people are so crazy about it that they take a personality test named Myers Briggs Type Indicator to find out the answer.
Many people find MBTI useful. It groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ” “INFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion” while “I” is short for “Introversion”. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They believe different types can help them make decisions on activities, jobs, or even life choices more quickly.
But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?”
When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions (描述) are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50% of people get a different point when they retake MBTI just five weeks later. Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white, scientists say. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or you can be both an “I” person and an “E” person. Don’t label (贴标签于) yourself! Studies have also shown that the test is not real at telling people’s success in different jobs. So, don’t take it too seriously.

A.which is not popular today B.which groups people into 6 types

Have you heard of the saying “If you fall off the horse, get back on.”? It means that things may get difficult, and you may make many mistakes. But you should have the passion (激情) and energy to keep going. This is called perseverance (毅力). It can help you get a lot of things.
Perseverance means keeping doing something for a long time. It doesn’t matter whether it is easy or difficult. For example, you practise a trick on your bike again and again. Or you finish a picture without giving up. These show perseverance. Florence, a 13-year-old girl, says, “It means never giving up and trying hard to push yourself. I go running with my mum three times a week. Sometimes I feel good and sometimes I don’t. But I still do it because I want to be the fastest in my class. Whether in good situations or bad ones, we need perseverance.”
Studies show that when you feel hopeful and work for a goal you really want, it can reduce stress (压力) and make you feel happier. When you get something you worked hard for and face difficulties on the way, it can develop your confidence and make you feel braver to try new things. Angela Duckworth is an expert (专家) on people’s thoughts and feelings. She studies perseverance and calls it “grit”. She thinks that having grit is really important for us to succeed. She says, “No matter how talented (有天赋的) you are at something or how well you do in school, you must have grit. When things are hard, perseverance is even more important. It can help you get past the hard times and reach your goals.” Duckworth believes perseverance is something anyone can learn. The best way to learn it is to have a growth mind. This means believing that your brain can grow. You can get anything if you put your mind to it. As the book The Big Life Journal says, “People with a growth idea know they can get better by working hard. They keep trying even when things are difficult.”
1.Why does the writer take Florence for example in Paragraph 2?
A.To introduce what perseverance means. B.To talk about how to train running skills.
C.To present the advantages of perseverance. D.To show the importance of staying with parents.
2.According to the passage, what can help us reduce stress?
A.Developing talents through mistakes. B.Building confidence in hard situations.
C.Trying hard for our dreams with hope. D.Keeping doing things without thinking.
3.Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with?
A.Goals are easier to reach in difficult times.
B.Talent is the most important for us to succeed.
C.Being clever will help us do well in our lessons.
D.Knowing we can get better helps us develop grit.
4.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

When Claire Vlases of Montana was in Grade 7, she learned about plans to modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school board(董事会)to add solar panels (太阳电池板) to the project because, she explained, clean energy would be helpful to a really modern school.
The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $25,000, one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work raising the rest(剩 余部分). They sold their second-hand books, put on talent shows and asked for donations(捐赠), even going door-to-door for them. One donated more than half the cost!
After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now provide one-fourth of the school's electricity needs—saving the neighborhood thousands of dollars. “My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big influence on the community,” Claire said. “There are always going to be hard parts. When there’s a challenge in front of you, you can learn from it and use it as chance to overcome it.”
1.How much money did Claire need to raise?
A.$ 25,000 B.$ 125,000 C.$ 100,000 D.$ 75,000

C.a small thing makes a big difference D.solar panels cost a lot

2.句意:他们的本意是好的,但我们经常得到的信息是,我们不够好。根据“but the message we often get is that we’re not good ...”可知,父母爱比较这种行为传递给孩子的信息是:他们不够好;good enough是固定搭配,表示“足够好”。故填(e)nough。
3.句意:我们开始相信,为了变得特别,我们必须比别人更好。根据“in order to be special, so we have to be better than someone else”可知,这是孩子面临被比较产生的一种想法;结合首字母,应填believe“相信,认为”;由begin to do sth.“开始做某事”可知,此处用动词原形。故填(b)elieve。
4.句意:然而我们经常失望。这里表示转折,前文说我们相信要超越别人,然而现实总让人失望,结合首字母提示可知,however“然而”符合句意。故填(H)owever。
5.句意:总会有人在某些方面比我们做得更好。根据“we are often disappointed”可知,孩子们面临比较,认为自己必须要比别人更好,却总是失望,因为总有人更好;结合首字母,此处泛指某个人,符合上下文“总存在比我们强的人”。 故填(s)omeone。
6.句意:你不可能一直比别人好。根据前一句“There will be ... out there who is better than we are at something.”可知,总有人更好,所以我们不可能一直比别人更好;结合首字母,应填impossible“不可能的”,形容词作表语。故填(i)mpossible。
7.句意:但我们没有意识到我们已经拥有了我们想要的东西。根据“But we don’t realize that we have ... had the very things that we want inside us.”和首字母可知,句子是现在完成时肯定句,副词already强调“早已存在”,呼应内心本有的品质。故填(a)lready。
8.句意:这些东西使我们与他人不同。different from“不同于……”,固定短语。故填(f)rom。
9.句意:在我们成长的过程中,我们的父母有时忘记告诉我们,我们是特别的,而且足够好。根据下文“we should remind them that each of us”可知,父母有时忘了告诉自己的孩子他们是特别的,而且足够好;结合首字母,应填forget“忘记”;时态为一般现在时,主语为“our parents”,此处用动词原形。故填(f)orget。
10.句意:因此我们应该提醒他们,我们每个人都有自己的独特之处。根据“we should remind them that each of us, in our own way, is ...”可知,我们每个人在用自己的方式,表明自己是特别的;结合首字母,应填special“特别的”,形容词作表语。故填(s)pecial。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,介绍了作者的好朋友吉姆,描述了他的外貌、性格、学习情况及两人共同的爱好,最后作者表达了希望友谊长存的美好愿望。
1.句意:他比我高,大约1.75米。
根据“than”可知,此处应用比较级形式taller。
2.句意:吉姆很有趣,他经常给我们讲有趣的故事。
根据下文“he often tells us interesting stories”,判断吉姆很有趣(funny)。
3.句意:吉姆是个聪明的学生。
根据下文“He is good at all subjects, especially math.”,吉姆擅长所有学科,因此判断吉姆很聪明(smart)。
4.句意:当我解不出数学题时,他总是耐心帮我。
根据上文“He is good at all subjects, especially math. When I can’t work out math problems”,此处指吉姆会帮助(helps)作者学数学。asks、tells、watches不符合朋友间互助的逻辑。
5.句意:他也很善良。
下文“when I was ill...the lessons.”提到,作者生病时吉姆会去他家给作者补课,可判断吉姆很善良(kind)。
6.句意:上个月,当我生病了,错过了一些课程时,他放学后来到我家,帮我赶上功课。
根据上文“when I was ill and missed some lessons”和“helped me”以及下文“the lessons”,此处指吉姆帮作者赶上(catch up with)落下的功课。
7.句意:我们有相同的爱好——打篮球。
根据下文“playing basketball”判断,打篮球是一项爱好(hobby)。
8.句意:我们经常意见一致,从不争吵。
根据下文“never quarrel”,作者和吉姆的关系和睦,意见一致(agree with)。get angry with、fight with与“never quarrel”矛盾,compete with不符合语境。
9.句意:我认为好朋友应该彼此关心,分享彼此的喜怒哀乐。
根据下文“share both happiness and sadness”,作者表达了自己对朋友的看法,认为朋友间应互相关心(care about)。
10.句意:我希望我们的友谊将永远持续。
根据“forever”,作者希望二人的友谊长存,last符合语境,而keep后通常接宾语,故排除。

“Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?” It is a popular topic today. Many people are so crazy about it that they take a personality test named Myers Briggs Type Indicator to find out the answer.
Many people find MBTI useful. It groups people into 16 types, which start with the letter “I” or “E”, such as “ENTJ” “INFP” or more. “E” is short for “Extroversion” while “I” is short for “Introversion”. “I’m an ‘E’ person. I should go to the party and make more friends.” “I’m an ‘I’ person. I’d like to work by myself. I could be a writer in the future.” They believe different types can help them make decisions on activities, jobs, or even life choices more quickly.
But there are also problems. Some people take the test for a second time and get different results. Some people find it hard to answer some questions. “I like watching TV by myself. But I also enjoy playing with friends. Am I an ‘I’ person or an ‘E’ person?”
When you take a personality test, you may think, “Oh, that’s me.” That’s because the descriptions (描述) are generic. They can be used to describe many people. Research has found that over 50% of people get a different point when they retake MBTI just five weeks later. Personalities can change with time, and they are not black-or-white, scientists say. You may be introverted now but become extroverted when you get older. Or you can be both an “I” person and an “E” person. Don’t label (贴标签于) yourself!

Have you heard of the saying “If you fall off the horse, get back on.”? It means that things may get difficult, and you may make many mistakes. But you should have the passion (激情) and energy to keep going. This is called perseverance (毅力). It can help you get a lot of things.
Perseverance means keeping doing something for a long time. It doesn’t matter whether it is easy or difficult. For example, you practise a trick on your bike again and again. Or you finish a picture without giving up. These show perseverance. Florence, a 13-year-old girl, says, “It means never giving up and trying hard to push yourself. I go running with my mum three times a week. Sometimes I feel good and sometimes I don’t. But I still do it because I want to be the fastest in my class. Whether in good situations or bad ones, we need perseverance.”
Studies show that when you feel hopeful and work for a goal you really want, it can reduce stress (压力) and make you feel happier. When you get something you worked hard for and face difficulties on the way, it can develop your confidence and make you feel braver to try new things. Angela Duckworth is an expert (专家) on people’s thoughts and feelings. She studies perseverance and calls it “grit”. She thinks that having grit is really important for us to succeed. She says, “No matter how talented (有天赋的) you are at something or how well you do in school, you must have grit. When things are hard, perseverance is even more important. It can help you get past the hard times and reach your goals.” Duckworth believes perseverance is something anyone can learn. The best way to learn it is to have a growth mind. This means believing that your brain can grow. You can get anything if you put your mind to it. As the book The Big Life Journal says, “People with a growth idea know they can get better by working hard. They keep trying even when things are difficult.”

C.Being clever will help us do well in our lessons.
D.Knowing we can get better helps us develop grit.

When Claire Vlases of Montana was in Grade 7, she learned about plans to modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school board(董事会)to add solar panels (太阳电池板) to the project because, she explained, clean energy would be helpful to a really modern school.
The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $25,000, one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work raising the rest(剩 余部分). They sold their second-hand books, put on talent shows and asked for donations(捐赠), even going door-to-door for them. One donated more than half the cost!
After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now provide one-fourth of the school's electricity needs—saving the neighborhood thousands of dollars. “My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big influence on the community,” Claire said. “There are always going to be hard parts. When there’s a challenge in front of you, you can learn from it and use it as chance to overcome it.”
1.How much money did Claire need to raise?
A.$ 25,000 B.$ 125,000 C.$ 100,000 D.$ 75,000
2.Which picture shows the change of the electricity cost after the use of solar panels?

【分析】文章大意:学校安装太阳能电池板时资金不足,克莱尔为了帮助学校安装太阳能电池板,自己组织了一群孩子和成年人,他们坚持不懈,寻求帮助,经过两年的艰苦努力以后,太能能电池板成功安装,并为学校和社区节省了大量的资金。
1.推理判断题。根据“The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $25,000, one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work raising the rest”可知,克莱尔要筹集剩下的费用,25000美元只是五分之一的费用,那么剩下的费用是25000x5-25000=100000,故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段中“which now provide one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs—saving the neighborhood thousands of dollars”可知,太阳能电池板现在提供了学校四分之一的电力需求,为社区节省了数千美元,也就是说安装了太阳能电池板以后,费用在逐步降低,结合图示可知C项正确。故选C。
3.细节理解题。根据第一段“ Claire asked the school board(董事会)to add solar panels (太阳电池板) to the project”,第二段“The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $25,000, one-fifth of the cost”,第三段“So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work raising the rest”及最后一段“After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now provide one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs—saving the neighborhood thousands of dollars”可知,正确的顺序是:Claire建议增加太阳能板来帮助学校节约能源—董事会同意了,但没有足够的资金来增加太阳能电池板—Claire组织人们筹集资金—Claire和她的团队得到了足够的捐款来购买太阳能电池板,故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big influence on the community”可知,Claire最喜欢这个项目的部分是,一个人可以开始一些小的事情,然后这个项目可以扩大,并对社区有很大的影响,也就是说“一件小事就会有重大的影响”。故选C。
5.最佳标题。根据全文内容可知,克莱尔为了帮助学校安装太阳能电池板,自己组织了一群孩子和成年人,他们坚持不懈,永不放弃,经过两年的艰苦努力以后,太能能电池板成功安装,并为学校和社区节省了大量的资金,所以文章最佳标题为“Never Give Up永不放弃”。故选D。

All her classmates wanted to know what happened to her, but she didn’t want to tell them about her beautiful hair clip.
