I wish we could get rid of air pollution here. M: It seems that old factories are usually not equipped with pollution control system. W: But the trouble we have is that even some of the new factories didn’t include pollution control measures when they were built.

First, tell us about your team. M: OK. The really unusual thing about them was that we all had some kind of connection to members of Shackleton’s team, whether directly or indirectly. I myself am a relative of a member of that 1907 trip. W: Did the trip take a long time to organize? M: Yes. It took us five years to prepare for it. First we had to find the money. Then there was the physical training. We were all relatively fit. It was actually the mental challenge that we struggled with the most, having to get our heads around the long journey. W: And did you experience any of the same problems? M: We did. For example, we had to spend two days in our tent because of bad weather, which Shackleton also suffered. But it was worse for Shackleton because they were also very low on food at that point. One of Shackleton’s men fell seriously ill, which luckily our team was spared. W: Do you think Shackleton deserves his reputation as a great hero? M: Yes. His decision to turn back to save his men took great courage, so he was a very determined man. That’s why I respect him so much. （本题6分）听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 17．(1.5分)What is the speaker doing? A．Hosting a program. B．Delivering a speech.

In tonight’s Global Adventure, let’s take a closer look at Zara Lachlan, an Internet-famous travel blogger. Zara Lachlan is a 21-year-old woman from the UK. Her goal was to be the first woman and the youngest person to row across the Atlantic Ocean without support from mainland Europe to mainland South America. Ms. Lachlan set off from Portugal in a special rowing boat on October 27th. Despite being new to ocean rowing and not being a strong swimmer, she was determined to achieve her goal. Throughout her journey, Ms. Lachlan faced many challenges. She got sunburned, and she broke two pairs of sunglasses. After 40 days, her phone was damaged, leaving her without music. At one point, she nearly got run over by a large ship. However, she didn’t give up. She was encouraged by the impressive sunrises, night skies and wildlife, including dolphins, sharks and whales. After 97 days, Ms. Lachlan arrived in French Guiana on February 1st. Though no one was expecting her, she was greeted warmly by Brazilian fishermen.  “I took on a huge challenge and won,” she said. Her journey not only set a record but also gave her lifelong memories. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Are you fighting for your dreams? Do you want to get some inspiration from others’ journeys? If so, don’t miss the following books. Outliers Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers explores the factors that contribute to success. Through fascinating case studies, Gladwell argues that success is not only the result of individual talent but also a combination of opportunity, timing, and hard work. This book is perfect for anyone seeking to understand the secrets behind extraordinary achievements.

This book is ideal for those who want to understand human resilience and the journey toward self-acceptance and healing. The Road Less Traveled M. Scott Peck’s The Road Less Traveled is a powerful guide to personal growth and spiritual development. It discusses the challenges of living a meaningful life and offers insights on dealing with suffering, the importance of discipline, and spiritual maturity. This book helps readers find inner strength and live a more fulfilling life. Atomic Habits James Clear’s Atomic Habits is a practical guide to building good habits and breaking bad ones. Clear provides actionable strategies for making small changes that lead to significant improvements in life.

Scott Peck的《The Road Less Traveled》，以及James Clear的《Atomic Habits》。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据文章Outliers部分内容“Through fascinating case studies, Gladwell argues that success is not only the result of individual talent but also a combination of opportunity, timing, and hard work.(通过引人入胜的案例研究，Gladwell认为成功不仅是个人天赋的结果，也是机会、时机和努力的结合。)”可知，在书中，成功被描述为个人天赋，机会，时机以及努力多种因素的综合体。故选A项。 22．细节理解题。根据文章The Glass Castle部分内容“Jeannette Walls’ inspiring memoir, The Glass Castle, describes her poor childhood in an unstable environment, highlighting the strength needed to overcome adversity.(Jeannette Walls的鼓舞人心的回忆录《The Glass Castle》描述了她在不稳定环境中的贫穷童年，强调了克服逆境所需的力量。)”可知，《The Glass Castle》的作者Jeannette Wall的童年经历了贫穷，不稳定。故选B项。 23．推理判断题。通过阅读文章内容，根据书籍描述中关键词句可知，“Outliers”中“understand the secrets behind extraordinary achievements(了解非凡成就背后的秘密)”可知，该书探讨成功因素，强调个人成就；“The Glass Castle”中“highlighting the strength needed to overcome adversity(强调克服逆境所需的力量)”可知，该书关注克服逆境和个人韧性；“The Road Less Traveled”中“a powerful guide to personal growth and spiritual development(个人成长和精神发展的有力指南)”可知，该书聚焦个人成长和精神发展；“Atomic Habits”中内容“a practical guide to building good habits and breaking bad ones (养成好习惯和改掉坏习惯的实用指南)”可知，该书提供自我改进的实用策略。由此推知，所有书都涉及个人提升、自我发展和克服挑战，即，它们的共同主题是自我发展（self-development）。故选C项。 （本题10分）On the first week of Grade 10, our head teacher told us that only the top three students would be recommended for the national science competition. My heart sank. I had always been a “good student,” but never the best. That night, I stayed up until 2 a.m., rewriting my study plan for the tenth time. Two weeks later, I failed to make the school debate team — something I’d practiced for all summer. My classmates spoke in a low voice, “She’s trying too hard.” Their words hurt more than the failure itself. I began to wonder whether I was cut out for anything special. At dinner, I pushed my food around the plate in silence. My father noticed. Instead of asking about grades, he said gently, “You know, trees don’t grow fastest in storms. They grow strongest when they have time to rest.” Then he told me about his own failure in college before becoming a lawyer — an exam he failed so badly he almost dropped out. “But that failure taught me to listen to myself, not just to others’ expectations.” He paused and looked at me across the table, his eyes soft but steady (坚定的). “Your worth isn’t measured by how many competitions you win,” he added, “but by whether you’re still kind to yourself when you lose.” In that moment, the weight on my shoulders didn’t disappear — but it became something I could carry, not something that crushed (压垮) me. His words didn’t fix everything overnight. But slowly, I stopped comparing my progress to others’. I still studied hard, but I also joined the school gardening club — just because I liked watching plants grow. For the first time in months, I slept through the night. Now, I no longer try to be perfect. I look for balance (平衡). And in that balance, I’ve found a quiet kind of confidence — one that doesn’t shout, but stands firm like a tree with deep roots. 24．(2.5分)What led to the author’s self-doubt finally? A．The heavy workload of high school courses. B．The teacher’s comment about the competition. C．Her classmates’ discouraging opinions about her. D．Her poor performance in the debate team tryout. 25．(2.5分)Why did father mention his college experience? A．To show failure is common among students. B．To explain why he became a lawyer later. C．To stress the value of learning from failures. D．To compare his past with her present situation. 26．(2.5分)What can we infer about the author’s change in attitude? A．She gave up on educational excellence completely. B．She realized success must come from inner peace. C．She decided to focus only on after-school activities. D．She became less interested in school life than before. 27．(2.5分)What does “a tree with deep roots” in the last paragraph stand for? A．Family’s strong support in one’s growth. B．Personal development full of inner strength. C．The need for others’ timely recognition. D．A chance to get away from pressure. 【答案】24．C 25．C 26．B 27．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在十年级时因学业竞争和失败而陷入自我怀疑，父亲通过分享自身失败经历和人生感悟，引导作者重新认识自我价值，最终找到内心平衡与自信的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段中“My classmates spoke in a low voice, “She’s trying too hard.” Their words hurt more than the failure itself. I began to wonder whether I was cut out for anything special.(同学们低声议论：“她太努力了。”他们的话比失败本身更伤人。我开始怀疑自己是否适合做任何特别的事)”可知，同学们对作者的负面评价直接引发了她的自我怀疑。故选C项。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段中父亲的话“But that failure taught me to listen to myself, not just to others’ expectations.(但那次失败教会我听从自己的内心，而非他人的期待)”以及““Your worth isn’t measured by how many competitions you win,” he added, “but by whether you’re still kind to yourself when you lose.”(“你的价值不是由赢得多少场比赛来衡量的，”他补充道，“而是在你失败时，是否依然能善待自己。”)”可知，父亲提及自己的失败经历，是为了向作者传达从失败中学习、关注自我而非外界评价的重要性。故选C项。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段中“I stopped comparing my progress to others’. I still studied hard, but I also joined the school gardening club — just because I liked watching plants grow.(我不再与他人比较进步。我仍努力学习，但也加入了园艺俱乐部，仅仅因为喜欢观察植物生长)”和第五段中“I look for balance (平衡). And in that balance, I’ve found a quiet kind of confidence — one that doesn’t shout, but stands firm like a tree with deep roots.(我寻求平衡。在这种平衡中，我找到了一种平静的自信——它不喧嚣，却像根系深扎的大树般坚定不移)”可推知，作者态度转变的核心是她意识到成功源于内心的平和与平衡，而非外在的完美与竞争。故选B项。 27．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“And in that balance, I’ve found a quiet kind of confidence — one that doesn’t shout, but stands firm like a tree with deep roots. (在这种平衡中，我找到了一种平静的自信——它不喧嚣，却像根系深扎的大树般坚定不移)”可知，“a tree with deep roots”在此语境中是一种比喻，用来形容作者通过寻求内心平衡和接纳自我所建立起的坚实、稳固的内在力量和个人成长。故选B项。 （本题10分）If you’ve ever wished for a magic wand (魔杖) that could change your life — or someone else’s — in a different direction, Gregory Walton has good news for you. In his new book, Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts, Walton, a professor of psychology at Stanford, lays out the simple, often small worries that influence what we believe, how we react, and what comes next. Then, he shows us ways to deal with them. Throughout life, Walton writes, and particularly during transitions (starting college, taking a new job, ending a relationship), we ask ourselves core questions: Who am I? Do I belong? Can I do this? Answers that play into our worries can cause us to become negative. Maybe you’ve started a new job that people “like you” aren’t often hired for. Based on your past experiences and the stereotypes (刻板印象) you know exist, you would likely be wrestling with a worry: Can I do this job? When your first project draws criticism from a colleague, you might be primed to take that small interaction as evidence that the stereotypes are right. “When we’re working toward goals big or small,” Walton writes, “it’s inevitable that we’ll encounter roadblocks along the way. To keep going, we can’t treat those roadblocks as proof we don’t have what it takes." When the facts we find help us set aside such worries, however, we can spiral up and chart new paths for ourselves or others. In a study, Walton found that a one-hour session for new college students that normalized worries of belonging — and showed that those worries disappeared over time — improved participants’ lives (more interaction with professors, higher graduation rates, greater career satisfaction) a full 10 years later. The events that cause those upward spirals are ordinary magic, Walton says. They are everyday experiences that help us to set aside our worries so that we can steer our lives in the direction we desire. And we can learn to employ that magic. Ordinary Magic provides non-fantastical inspiration to improve ourselves and our communities. No magic wand required. 28．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the book Ordinary Magic? A．To introduce instant magical solutions. B．To offer methods to handle worries. C．To promote the use of magic in daily life. D．To explain life transition challenges. 29．(2.5分)What caused a new employee to take criticism as proof of stereotypes? A．Self-doubt. B．Constant failures. C．Big goals. D．Unfair judgement. 30．(2.5分)What do the underlined words “spiral up” mean in paragraph 4? A．Gain more skills. B．Make constant progress. C．Keep current status. D．Become more focused. 31．(2.5分)What does “ordinary magic” refer to in the text? A．Small daily positive actions. B．Instant life-changing tools. C．Major events causing big changes. D．Scientific studies on psychology. 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．B 31．A 【导语】文章介绍了Gregory Walton的新书《平凡的魔力》，该书阐述了日常生活中微小行为如何帮助我们消除担忧、实现积极改变，并提供了相关心理学研究支持。   【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Walton, a professor of psychology at Stanford, lays out the simple, often small worries that influence what we believe, how we react, and what comes next. Then, he shows us ways to deal with them.(斯坦福大学心理学教授Walton阐述了影响我们信念、反应和后续发展的简单、通常微小的担忧。然后，他向我们展示了处理这些担忧的方法。)”可知，这本书的主要目的是提供处理担忧的方法。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Based on your past experiences and the stereotypes you know exist, you would likely be wrestling with a worry: Can I do this job? When your first project draws criticism from a colleague, you might be primed to take that small interaction as evidence that the stereotypes are right. (基于你过去的经验和你所知道的刻板印象，你可能会纠结于一个担忧：我能胜任这份工作吗？当你的第一个项目遭到同事的批评时，你可能会倾向于把这次小小的互动当作刻板印象正确的证据。)”可知，新员工因为自我怀疑（即内心的担忧），从而把批评当成了刻板印象的证明。 30．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“When the facts we find help us set aside such worries, however, we can spiral up and chart new paths for ourselves or others.(然而，当我们发现的事实帮助我们抛开这些担忧时，我们就能“spiral up”，并为自己或他人开辟新的道路。)”以及后文提到的“improved participants’ lives(改善了参与者的生活)”可知，抛开担忧后，人们能够取得积极的进展，开辟新道路。由此推知，spiral up意为“取得持续进步”。 31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“They are everyday experiences that help us to set aside our worries so that we can steer our lives in the direction we desire.(它们是日常点滴经历，帮助我们放下忧虑，让人生朝着期许的方向前行)”以及第一段的书名“Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts (《平凡的魔力：如何用小行动实现大改变的科学》)”可知，“平凡的魔力”指日常中积极的微小行为。 （本题10分）From big life goals to small daily troubles, frustration (沮丧) is part of our daily life. Although frustration is often thought of as a bad feeling, studies show that it is not just a problem — it can also be a useful tool for growing, learning and making yourself better. Psychologists say frustration is more than a short-term trouble. Ayelet Fishbach, a professor at the University of Chicago, says frustration exists for a reason. Anger usually points at others, and stress often comes from having too many tasks to do. But frustration is different: it is the feeling you get when things don’t go as you planned. It’s a reminder to check your goals again and think about doing things in a different way. Ayelet says this kind of change can make you pay more attention and also make your determination stronger. Some studies even find that students who fail in frustrating situations often get better at solving problems later. She explains, “It is this focused determination from frustration that helps people make progress.” Even babies feel frustrated when they learn to crawl or walk, but this frustration encourages them to keep trying until they succeed. To use frustration to help yourself grow, you need a serious approach. The first key step is to understand: in any process (过程) of trying hard, it is very natural to face problems, and frustration can actually push us to improve ourselves. Another important thing to do is to change how you look at frustration — don’t see it as failure. Instead, you should treat it as proof that “you are dealing with challenges that are just right for you.” Besides, you should deal with your feelings in a right way. Keeping your feelings inside is not healthy. Talking to someone you trust can often give you new ideas. Finally, you need to think back, learn lessons from your experiences, and use these to guide your future growth. Frustration is not your enemy. As long as you understand its good points and learn to use it, you can turn life’s problems into chances to grow. 32．(2.5分)What makes frustration different from anger and stress according to Ayelet? A．It usually targets other people. B．It lasts longer than other feelings. C．It is caused by too many tasks. D．It happens as things go unexpectedly. 33．(2.5分)Why does the author mention babies? A．To prove the view. B．To bridge the paragraphs. C．To imagine a scene. D．To introduce a new topic. 34．(2.5分)What should one do to make the best of frustration? A．Avoid challenges. B．Keep feelings inside. C．Shift the mindset. D．Forget the past pains. 35．(2.5分)What is the best title for this passage? A．The Harm of Frustration in Our Life B．Frustration: From Problem to Power C．The Reasons Why We Get Frustrated D．Key to Success: Never Feel Frustrated 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．C 35．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了沮丧是生活常态，并非单纯的负面情绪。它能促人反思、坚定意志，只要转变心态、合理疏导，便可将其转化为成长的动力。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段“Anger usually points at others, and stress often comes from having too many tasks to do. But frustration is different: it is the feeling you get when things don’t go as you planned.(愤怒通常指向他人，压力往往源于要完成的任务太多。但挫败感则有所不同：它指的是当事情没有按照你的计划进行时所产生的那种感觉)”可知，根据阿耶利特的观点，沮丧与愤怒和压力的区别在于它通常是在事情出现意外情况时产生的。故选D。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段“Ayelet says this kind of change can make you pay more attention and also make your determination stronger. Some studies even find that students who fail in frustrating situations often get better at solving problems later. She explains, “It is this focused determination from frustration that helps people make progress.” Even babies feel frustrated when they learn to crawl or walk, but this frustration encourages them to keep trying until they succeed.(阿耶利特表示，这种转变能够让你更加专注，也能让你的决心更加坚定。一些研究甚至发现，在令人沮丧的情况下失败的学生往往日后在解决问题方面会表现得更好。她解释道：“正是这种源自沮丧的专注决心帮助人们取得进步。”就连婴儿在学会爬行或走路时也会感到沮丧，但这种沮丧会激励他们不断尝试，直到成功为止)”可知，作者提及婴儿学爬、学走时的沮丧会促使他们坚持直至成功，这是用实例证明前文观点，故选A。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段“To use frustration to help yourself grow, you need a serious approach.(要想利用挫折来促进自身成长，你需要采取一种认真的态度)”以及“Another important thing to do is to change how you look at frustration — don’t see it as failure. (另外，还有一件重要的事情要做，那就是改变你看待挫折的方式——不要将其视为失败)”可知，转变思维模式才能将挫折转化为积极因素。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“From big life goals to small daily troubles, frustration (沮丧) is part of our daily life. Although frustration is often thought of as a bad feeling, studies show that it is not just a problem—it can also be a useful tool for growing, learning and making yourself better.(从宏大的人生目标到日常的小烦恼，挫败感都是我们日常生活的一部分。尽管人们通常认为挫败感是一种负面情绪，但研究表明，它并非仅仅是个问题——它还能成为帮助我们成长、学习和提升自我的有用工具)”可知，文章主要说明了沮丧是生活常态，并非单纯的负面情绪。它能促人反思、坚定意志，只要转变心态、合理疏导，便可将其转化为成长的动力。B选项“挫折：从问题到力量”最符合文章标题。故选B。 （本题12.5分）Success is often described as a clear road with fixed signs: study hard, enter a good university, and find a stable job. But today, many young people are beginning to realize that such a road is no longer certain. 36(2.5分) New technologies appear, old jobs disappear, and opportunities shift in unexpected ways. What once worked well may not work anymore. This is why the saying has emerged that there are no fixed rules for success. Why is this happening? 37(2.5分) History shows that real breakthroughs usually come from those who dare to question tradition. Great inventions, creative businesses, and new ideas are often born when someone refuses to stay inside safe boundaries. If everyone followed the same path, the world would simply repeat itself. In reality, change is driven by curiosity, risk, and the courage to try something untested. So how can young people move forward in such an uncertain age? The answer is not to wait for perfect instructions, but to develop the ability to explore and adapt. 38(2.5分) Failure should not be feared, because it often teaches more than success does. Each attempt, even an unsuccessful one, helps build experience and confidence. 39(2.5分) It is more about drawing your own blueprint. When the future is unclear, the most powerful choice is to move, experiment, and create.

Every evening, my grandmother would sit on the porch and tell me stories about her youth. She had lived through hard times — wars, poverty, and the loss of loved ones. Yet she always wore a 41 on her face. One day, I asked her, “Grandma, how can you be so happy when you’ve been through so much 42 ?” She smiled and said, “Life is like a garden, my dear. You can focus on the weeds, or you can 43 the flowers. I choose to see the flowers.” Those words stayed with me. As I grew older, I began to 44 what she meant. Life is full of challenges, but it is also full of 45 . It is up to us to decide where we direct our 46 . In high school, I faced my own set of difficulties. I struggled with my studies and often felt 47 . There were times when I wanted to give up. But then I remembered my grandmother’s words. Instead of 48 on my failures, I started to celebrate small victories — a good grade on a quiz, a kind word from a teacher, a 49 moment with a friend. Gradually, my outlook began to 50 . I realised that happiness is not something that happens to us — it is something we 51 . Now, whenever I face a 52 situation, I ask myself: “Where are the flowers in this garden?” Almost always, I find them. They may be small and 53 , but they are there. My grandmother passed away last year, but her 54 continues to guide me. She taught me that life’s greatest lesson is not about avoiding pain, but about finding 55 in spite of it. 41．(1分)A．mask B．smile C．frown D．doubt 42．(1分)A．fun B．pleasure C．pain D．excitement 43．(1分)A．remove B．plant C．water D．appreciate 44．(1分)A．ignore B．understand C．question D．forget 45．(1分)A．beauty B．danger C．conflict D．boredom 46．(1分)A．attention B．blame C．anger D．pity 47．(1分)A．confident B．discouraged C．curious D．relieved 48．(1分)A．depending B．insisting C．dwelling D．calling 49．(1分)A．tense B．awkward C．warm D．brief 50．(1分)A．worsen B．remain C．appear D．change 51．(1分)A．create B．await C．avoid D．fear 52．(1分)A．simple B．difficult C．familiar D．peaceful 53．(1分)A．obvious B．abundant C．easily overlooked D．brightly coloured 54．(1分)A．wealth B．appearance C．wisdom D．routine 55．(1分)A．joy B．excuse C．fault D．evidence 【答案】 41．B 42．C 43．D 44．B 45．A 46．A 47．B 48．C 49．C 50．D 51．A 52．B 53．C 54．C 55．A 【导语】本文讲述了作者从祖母那里学到的人生哲理：生活如同花园，我们可以选择关注美好而非痛苦，幸福是自己创造的。文章通过作者的成长经历，展现了这一智慧如何帮助他面对困难。 【详解】41．考查名词。句意：然而她脸上总是挂着微笑。A. mask面具；B. smile微笑；C. frown皱眉；D. doubt怀疑。根据后文第三段祖母回答“I choose to see the flowers.”可知，她总是乐观的，脸上应有微笑。 42．考查名词。句意：一天，我问她：“奶奶，您经历了那么多痛苦，怎么能如此快乐呢？”A. fun乐趣；B. pleasure愉快；C. pain痛苦；D. excitement兴奋。前文第一段提到“She had lived through hard times — wars, poverty, and the loss of loved ones.”都是痛苦经历。 43．考查动词。句意：你可以关注杂草，也可以欣赏花朵。A. remove移除；B. plant种植；C. water浇水；D. appreciate欣赏。祖母用花园比喻生活，根据后文“I choose to see the flowers”可知，选择看花朵即是“欣赏”它们，“focus on the weeds”对应“appreciate the flowers”。 44．考查动词。句意：随着我长大，我开始理解她的意思。A. ignore忽视；B. understand理解；C. question质疑；D. forget忘记。根据后文“Life is full of challenges, but it is also full of ________. It is up to us to decide where we direct our ________.”可知，此处讲述作者逐渐领悟祖母的话。 45．考查名词。句意：生活充满挑战，但也充满美好。A. beauty美好；B. danger危险；C. conflict冲突；D. boredom无聊。根据“Life is full of challenges, but”可知，与“challenges”形成对比的是积极方面的“beauty”。 46．考查名词。句意：由我们决定将注意力投向何处。A. attention注意力；B. blame责备；C. anger愤怒；D. pity怜悯。前文提到“focus on”和“see”，此处用“direct our attention”，说明注意力集中的地方。 47．考查形容词。句意：我在学习上挣扎，常常感到气馁。A. confident自信的；B. discouraged气馁的；C. curious好奇的；D. relieved宽慰的。根据后文“There were times when I wanted to give up.”可知，作者学习有困难，经常情绪低落。 48．考查动词。句意：我不再纠结我的失败，而是开始庆祝小的胜利——测验得了好成绩，老师说出的善意话语，和朋友共度的温暖时刻。A. depending依赖；B. insisting坚持；C. dwelling居住；D. calling打电话。根据后文“I started to celebrate small victories — a good grade on a quiz, a kind word from a teacher, a ________ moment with a friend.”可知，作者开始庆祝小的胜利，因此不再老是纠结失败。固定搭配dwell on意为“老是想着，沉湎于”，与“celebrate small victories”相反。 49．考查形容词。句意同上。A. tense紧张的；B. awkward尴尬的；C. warm温暖的；D. brief短暂的。根据前文“a good grade on a quiz, a kind word from a teacher”可知，此处讲述与朋友在一起的温暖时光，与前文并列，都是积极温暖的瞬间。 50．考查动词。句意：渐渐地，我的看法开始改变。A. worsen恶化；B. remain保持；C. appear出现；D. change改变。根据前文讲述的作者从气馁到积极和后文“I realised that happiness is not something that happens to us — it is something we ________.”可知，作者的心态发生了转变。 51．考查动词。句意：我意识到，幸福不是发生在我们身上的事——而是我们创造出来的。A. create创造；B. await等待；C. avoid避免；D. fear害怕。根据后文“She taught me that life’s greatest lesson is not about avoiding pain, but about finding ________ in spite of it”祖母的哲理和作者亲身实践可知，此处讲述幸福是主动选择的结果。 52．考查形容词。句意：现在，每当我遇到困难的情况，我就会问自己：“这座花园里的花在哪里？”A. simple简单的；B. difficult困难的；C. familiar熟悉的；D. peaceful平静的。根据前文祖母说的话“I choose to see the flowers.”和后文“Almost always, I find them.”可知，面对逆境，作者主动寻找美好。 53．考查形容词和短语。句意：它们可能很小且容易被忽视，但它们就在那里。A. obvious明显的；B. abundant丰富的；C. easily overlooked容易被忽视的；D. brightly coloured色彩鲜艳的。根据后文“but they are there”可知，对应前文“small”，且需要“寻找”才能发现，可推断，此处表示他们可能会被忽视。 54．考查名词。句意：我的祖母去年去世了，但她的智慧继续指引着我。A. wealth财富；B. appearance外表；C. wisdom智慧；D. routine常规。根据后文“She taught me that life’s greatest lesson is not about avoiding pain, but about finding ________ in spite of it”可知，祖母的教诲是人生智慧。 55．考查名词。句意：她教会我，人生最大的教训不是避免痛苦，而是尽管痛苦也要找到快乐。A. joy快乐；B. excuse借口；C. fault过错；D. evidence证据。结合全文主题是发现生活中的美好和快乐，以及前文的“life’s greatest lesson is not about avoiding pain”可知，此处与“avoiding pain”相反，表示要主动去寻找快乐。 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Adversity is an inevitable part of life, a force that 56(1.5分) (test) our resilience and shapes our character. It comes in many forms — personal loss, failure, hardship, or unexpected challenges — and often arrives uninvited, 57(1.5分) (leave) us feeling vulnerable (脆弱的) and uncertain. Yet, it is in these moments of struggle that we discover our true strength. Adversity forces us to confront our limitations, adapt to change, and find creative solutions 58(1.5分) problems we never imagined facing. It teaches us patience, humility (谦虚), and the value of 59(1.5分) (persevere). History is filled with stories of individuals 60(1.5分) turned adversity into opportunity. Think of 61(1.5分) (figure) like Nelson Mandela, who emerged from decades of imprisonment to lead a nation toward reconciliation (和解), or Malala Yousafzai, who transformed a life-threatening attack into a 62(1.5分) (globe) movement for education. These examples remind us that adversity, while painful, can be a catalyst (催化剂) for growth and transformation. On a personal level, adversity often reveals (透露) the support systems we rely 63(1.5分) — family, friends, and communities that rally around us in times of need. It reminds us that we are not alone and that 64(1.5分) (share) struggles can foster (培养) deeper connections. While adversity may bend us, it does not have to break us. Instead, it can become the foundation upon which we build a 65(1.5分) (strong), more compassionate (有同情心的) version of ourselves. 【答案】 56．tests 57．leaving 58．to 59．perseverance 60．who 61．figures 62．global 63．on 64．shared 65．stronger 【导语】主要论述逆境是人生不可避免的部分，它磨砺心性、塑造品格，列举名人案例说明逆境可转化为成长契机，并阐述逆境能让人认清身边支持、成就更强大的自我。 【详解】56．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：逆境是人生不可避免的一部分，是一种考验我们韧性、塑造我们品格的力量。此处为定语从句谓语动词，先行词a force为单数，句子表述客观道理，使用一般现在时，test的第三人称单数形式为tests。 57．考查非谓语动词。句意：它以多种形式出现——个人失去、失败、困苦或突如其来的难题，往往不请自来，让我们感到脆弱迷茫。此处非谓语动词作状语，leave与逻辑主语It之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词leaving。 58．考查介词。句意：逆境迫使我们直面自身局限、适应变化，并为那些从未预想过的难题寻找创新性解决办法。此处为固定搭配solutions to problems，意为“难题的解决办法”，此处为介词to。 59．考查名词。句意：它教会我们耐心、谦逊以及坚持不懈的价值。介词of后接名词作宾语，persevere对应的名词是perseverance，意为“毅力，坚持不懈”。 60．考查定语从句。句意：历史上有无数人将逆境转化为机遇的故事。此处为定语从句，先行词individuals指代人，关系词在从句中作主语，使用关系代词who。 61．考查名词复数。句意：想想纳尔逊·曼德拉这类人物，他历经数十年牢狱生涯后带领国家走向和解，还有马拉拉·优素福扎伊，她将一场危及生命的袭击转化为一场全球性的教育运动。此处表示多类人物，figure为可数名词，用复数形式figures。 62．考查形容词。句意：想想纳尔逊·曼德拉这类人物，他历经数十年牢狱生涯后带领国家走向和解，还有马拉拉·优素福扎伊，她将一场危及生命的袭击转化为一场全球性的教育运动。此处修饰名词movement，需要形容词，globe对应的形容词global，意为“全球的”。 63．考查介词。句意：就个人层面而言，逆境往往能让我们看清自己赖以依靠的支撑力量——危难时刻会向我们伸出援手的家人、朋友与身边社群。此处为固定搭配rely on，意为“依靠，依赖”，此处为介词on。 64．考查非谓语动词。句意：这提醒我们，我们从来都不是孤身一人，共同经历的磨难能催生更深厚的羁绊。此处修饰名词struggles，表“被共同分担的”，用过去分词shared作定语。 65．考查形容词比较级。句意：相反，它可以成为一块基石，我们依托它塑造出更强大、更富有同理心的全新自我。后文并列more compassionate为形容词比较级，strong也需使用比较级形式stronger保持一致。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的英国好友Jim最近参加了汉语水平考试（HSK），因为过度紧张而没有通过，他感到很沮丧。请你给Jim写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 表示安慰； 2. 推荐缓解考试紧张的小妙招。 注意：1.词数 100 左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Jim,     I am sorry to hear that you didn’t pass the HSK this time because of nervousness.

Li Ming, a freshman in senior high school, sat alone in the empty classroom, staring at the test paper on his desk. The red marks on it seemed to be laughing at him. 52 out of 150. It was his third math test in a month, and his third failure. He thought about his middle school days, when he used to be one of the top students in his class. His teachers always praised him, and his parents often showed off his grades to their friends. But now, everything had changed. Li Ming put his head down on the desk and closed his eyes. He remembered how excited he had been on the first day of high school. He had promised his mother that he would study hard and get into a good university. But now, that promise felt like a joke. Maybe he was just not smart enough for high school. Maybe he should give up his dream of becoming an engineer. Just then, the classroom door opened. It was Mr. Zhang, his math teacher. Mr. Zhang was a kind man in his fifties, with glasses and a warm smile. He walked over to Li Ming and sat down beside him. “I saw your paper, Li Ming,” Mr. Zhang said softly. “Do you want to tell me what’s going on?” Li Ming hesitated for a moment. Then, all his feelings came out like a flood. He told Mr. Zhang about his frustration, his fear of falling behind, and how he had lost all his confidence. Mr. Zhang listened patiently. When Li Ming finished, Mr. Zhang said, “Let me tell you a secret. When I was your age, I failed my math test too. In fact, I failed three times in a row.” Li Ming looked up in surprise. “Really? But you are a math teacher now!” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mr. Zhang smiled and took out an old, yellow notebook from his bag. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, Li Ming did something different every day after school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Mr. Zhang smiled and took out an old, yellow notebook from his bag. Inside were detailed error notes and daily learning plans he had made in high school. He told Li Ming that failure never meant incompetence, but rather revealed his weaknesses. Many high school students struggled with math at first, and progress always came gradually rather than overnight. He encouraged Li Ming to face his mistakes bravely, sort out confusing knowledge points, and never doubt his own ability. Warmth spread through Li Ming’s heart, and he regained his fading confidence. From that day on, Li Ming did something different every day after school. He no longer felt frustrated or discouraged. Instead, he sorted out incorrect math questions carefully every day, reviewed key knowledge regularly and asked the teacher for help with difficult problems in time. Bit by bit, his math foundation became solid, and his problem-solving skills improved greatly. Months later, Li Ming achieved a satisfying score in the final math test. He finally understood that true growth lies in persisting through difficulties rather than fearing temporary failure. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述高一新生李明在数学考试中连续失利，心情沮丧，此时数学老师张老师发现并与他交流，张老师还分享了自己学生时代也有类似连续数学考试失败的经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写张老师借助笔记本里的内容，如自己当年的错题记录、学习计划等，向李明传达面对失败应有的态度与方法，以此来鼓励李明，帮助他重新树立信心。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写李明在听了张老师的话后，在学习行动上做出的具体改变，以及这些改变所带来的积极效果，如成绩的提升等。 2.续写线索：张老师拿出笔记本分享自身经历鼓励李明——李明获得信心——李明每天进行整理错题、复习知识、请教难题等学习改变——李明数学成绩提高——李明领悟成长道理。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage /motivate ②提高：improve/promote 情绪类 ①沮丧的：frustrated/upset ②令人困惑的：confusing/puzzling 【点睛】【高分句型 1】He told Li Ming that failure never meant incompetence, but rather revealed his weaknesses.（运用了that 引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】He finally understood that true growth lies in persisting through difficulties rather than fearing temporary failure.（运用了 that 引导的宾语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 2 Onwards and Upwards（较难版02）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What is the probable relationship between the speakers?

I had always been a “good student,” but never the best. That night, I stayed up until 2 a.m., rewriting my study plan for the tenth time. Two weeks later, I failed to make the school debate team — something I’d practiced for all summer. My classmates spoke in a low voice, “She’s trying too hard.” Their words hurt more than the failure itself. I began to wonder whether I was cut out for anything special. At dinner, I pushed my food around the plate in silence. My father noticed. Instead of asking about grades, he said gently, “You know, trees don’t grow fastest in storms. They grow strongest when they have time to rest.” Then he told me about his own failure in college before becoming a lawyer — an exam he failed so badly he almost dropped out. “But that failure taught me to listen to myself, not just to others’ expectations.” He paused and looked at me across the table, his eyes soft but steady (坚定的). “Your worth isn’t measured by how many competitions you win,” he added, “but by whether you’re still kind to yourself when you lose.” In that moment, the weight on my shoulders didn’t disappear — but it became something I could carry, not something that crushed (压垮) me. His words didn’t fix everything overnight. But slowly, I stopped comparing my progress to others’. I still studied hard, but I also joined the school gardening club — just because I liked watching plants grow. For the first time in months, I slept through the night. Now, I no longer try to be perfect. I look for balance (平衡). And in that balance, I’ve found a quiet kind of confidence — one that doesn’t shout, but stands firm like a tree with deep roots. 24．(2.5分)What led to the author’s self-doubt finally? A．The heavy workload of high school courses. B．The teacher’s comment about the competition. C．Her classmates’ discouraging opinions about her.

C．To stress the value of learning from failures. D．To compare his past with her present situation. 26．(2.5分)What can we infer about the author’s change in attitude? A．She gave up on educational excellence completely. B．She realized success must come from inner peace. C．She decided to focus only on after-school activities. D．She became less interested in school life than before. 27．(2.5分)What does “a tree with deep roots” in the last paragraph stand for? A．Family’s strong support in one’s growth. B．Personal development full of inner strength. C．The need for others’ timely recognition. D．A chance to get away from pressure. （本题10分）If you’ve ever wished for a magic wand (魔杖) that could change your life — or someone else’s — in a different direction, Gregory Walton has good news for you. In his new book, Ordinary Magic: The Science of How We Can Achieve Big Change with Small Acts, Walton, a professor of psychology at Stanford, lays out the simple, often small worries that influence what we believe, how we react, and what comes next. Then, he shows us ways to deal with them. Throughout life, Walton writes, and particularly during transitions (starting college, taking a new job, ending a relationship), we ask ourselves core questions: Who am I? Do I belong? Can I do this? Answers that play into our worries can cause us to become negative. Maybe you’ve started a new job that people “like you” aren’t often hired for. Based on your past experiences and the stereotypes (刻板印象) you know exist, you would likely be wrestling with a worry: Can I do this job? When your first project draws criticism from a colleague, you might be primed to take that small interaction as evidence that the stereotypes are right. “When we’re working toward goals big or small,” Walton writes, “it’s inevitable that we’ll encounter roadblocks along the way. To keep going, we can’t treat those roadblocks as proof we don’t have what it takes." When the facts we find help us set aside such worries, however, we can spiral up and chart new paths for ourselves or others. In a study, Walton found that a one-hour session for new college students that normalized worries of belonging — and showed that those worries disappeared over time — improved participants’ lives (more interaction with professors, higher graduation rates, greater career satisfaction) a full 10 years later. The events that cause those upward spirals are ordinary magic, Walton says. They are everyday experiences that help us to set aside our worries so that we can steer our lives in the direction we desire. And we can learn to employ that magic. Ordinary Magic provides non-fantastical inspiration to improve ourselves and our communities. No magic wand required. 28．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the book Ordinary Magic?

Although frustration is often thought of as a bad feeling, studies show that it is not just a problem — it can also be a useful tool for growing, learning and making yourself better. Psychologists say frustration is more than a short-term trouble. Ayelet Fishbach, a professor at the University of Chicago, says frustration exists for a reason. Anger usually points at others, and stress often comes from having too many tasks to do. But frustration is different: it is the feeling you get when things don’t go as you planned. It’s a reminder to check your goals again and think about doing things in a different way. Ayelet says this kind of change can make you pay more attention and also make your determination stronger. Some studies even find that students who fail in frustrating situations often get better at solving problems later. She explains, “It is this focused determination from frustration that helps people make progress.” Even babies feel frustrated when they learn to crawl or walk, but this frustration encourages them to keep trying until they succeed. To use frustration to help yourself grow, you need a serious approach. The first key step is to understand: in any process (过程) of trying hard, it is very natural to face problems, and frustration can actually push us to improve ourselves. Another important thing to do is to change how you look at frustration — don’t see it as failure. Instead, you should treat it as proof that “you are dealing with challenges that are just right for you.” Besides, you should deal with your feelings in a right way. Keeping your feelings inside is not healthy. Talking to someone you trust can often give you new ideas. Finally, you need to think back, learn lessons from your experiences, and use these to guide your future growth. Frustration is not your enemy. As long as you understand its good points and learn to use it, you can turn life’s problems into chances to grow. 32．(2.5分)What makes frustration different from anger and stress according to Ayelet? A．It usually targets other people. B．It lasts longer than other feelings. C．It is caused by too many tasks. D．It happens as things go unexpectedly. 33．(2.5分)Why does the author mention babies? A．To prove the view. B．To bridge the paragraphs. C．To imagine a scene. D．To introduce a new topic. 34．(2.5分)What should one do to make the best of frustration? A．Avoid challenges. B．Keep feelings inside. C．Shift the mindset. D．Forget the past pains. 35．(2.5分)What is the best title for this passage? A．The Harm of Frustration in Our Life B．Frustration: From Problem to Power C．The Reasons Why We Get Frustrated D．Key to Success: Never Feel Frustrated （本题12.5分）Success is often described as a clear road with fixed signs: study hard, enter a good university, and find a stable job. But today, many young people are beginning to realize that such a road is no longer certain. 36(2.5分) New technologies appear, old jobs disappear, and opportunities shift in unexpected ways. What once worked well may not work anymore. This is why the saying has emerged that there are no fixed rules for success. Why is this happening? 37(2.5分) History shows that real breakthroughs usually come from those who dare to question tradition. Great inventions, creative businesses, and new ideas are often born when someone refuses to stay inside safe boundaries. If everyone followed the same path, the world would simply repeat itself. In reality, change is driven by curiosity, risk, and the courage to try something untested. So how can young people move forward in such an uncertain age? The answer is not to wait for perfect instructions, but to develop the ability to explore and adapt. 38(2.5分) Failure should not be feared, because it often teaches more than success does. Each attempt, even an unsuccessful one, helps build experience and confidence. 39(2.5分) It is more about drawing your own blueprint. When the future is unclear, the most powerful choice is to move, experiment, and create. After all, the people who shape tomorrow are not those who wait for rules, but those who are brave enough to make their own. 40(2.5分) A．Everyone knows what’s next. B．The world is changing too fast. C．True success comes from patience. D．So dare to create your own success. E．Progress rarely follows a fixed plan. F．Success today is less about following a map that fits everyone. G．Learning new skills and staying open to new possibilities matter more. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）When I was a child, my family lived in a small house near the woods. Every evening, my grandmother would sit on the porch and tell me stories about her youth. She had lived through hard times — wars, poverty, and the loss of loved ones.

It comes in many forms — personal loss, failure, hardship, or unexpected challenges — and often arrives uninvited, 57(1.5分) (leave) us feeling vulnerable (脆弱的) and uncertain. Yet, it is in these moments of struggle that we discover our true strength. Adversity forces us to confront our limitations, adapt to change, and find creative solutions 58(1.5分) problems we never imagined facing. It teaches us patience, humility (谦虚), and the value of 59(1.5分) (persevere). History is filled with stories of individuals 60(1.5分) turned adversity into opportunity. Think of 61(1.5分) (figure) like Nelson Mandela, who emerged from decades of imprisonment to lead a nation toward reconciliation (和解), or Malala Yousafzai, who transformed a life-threatening attack into a 62(1.5分) (globe) movement for education. These examples remind us that adversity, while painful, can be a catalyst (催化剂) for growth and transformation. On a personal level, adversity often reveals (透露) the support systems we rely 63(1.5分) — family, friends, and communities that rally around us in times of need. It reminds us that we are not alone and that 64(1.5分) (share) struggles can foster (培养) deeper connections. While adversity may bend us, it does not have to break us. Instead, it can become the foundation upon which we build a 65(1.5分) (strong), more compassionate (有同情心的) version of ourselves. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的英国好友Jim最近参加了汉语水平考试（HSK），因为过度紧张而没有通过，他感到很沮丧。请你给Jim写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 表示安慰； 2. 推荐缓解考试紧张的小妙招。 注意：1.词数 100 左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was a rainy Tuesday afternoon. Li Ming, a freshman in senior high school, sat alone in the empty classroom, staring at the test paper on his desk. The red marks on it seemed to be laughing at him. 52 out of 150. It was his third math test in a month, and his third failure. He thought about his middle school days, when he used to be one of the top students in his class. His teachers always praised him, and his parents often showed off his grades to their friends. But now, everything had changed. Li Ming put his head down on the desk and closed his eyes. He remembered how excited he had been on the first day of high school. He had promised his mother that he would study hard and get into a good university. But now, that promise felt like a joke. Maybe he was just not smart enough for high school. Maybe he should give up his dream of becoming an engineer. Just then, the classroom door opened. It was Mr. Zhang, his math teacher. Mr. Zhang was a kind man in his fifties, with glasses and a warm smile. He walked over to Li Ming and sat down beside him. “I saw your paper, Li Ming,” Mr. Zhang said softly. “Do you want to tell me what’s going on?” Li Ming hesitated for a moment. Then, all his feelings came out like a flood. He told Mr. Zhang about his frustration, his fear of falling behind, and how he had lost all his confidence. Mr. Zhang listened patiently. When Li Ming finished, Mr. Zhang said, “Let me tell you a secret. When I was your age, I failed my math test too. In fact, I failed three times in a row.” Li Ming looked up in surprise. “Really? But you are a math teacher now!” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mr. Zhang smiled and took out an old, yellow notebook from his bag. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that day on, Li Ming did something different every day after school. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
