A．Process of winning is more important than the result. B．Champions are motivated to achieve success. C．Win-win culture is common in society. 【答案】17．C 18．A 19．C 20．A 【原文】 M: I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun, but I am here to share my idea. Winning does not always equal success. All around the world we have created the  “win at all costs” culture. We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process and particularly when the end result is a win. Real success is developing champions in life for our world. Win or lose, we may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can’t plan our way to success. Back to 1990 when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA women’s gymnastic team, I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win, so I became tough talking and mean. Our team asked me for a team meeting for over two hours. They gave me examples of how my arrogance was hurtful. Then I chose to change. It is so much easier to give orders than to figure out how to motivate someone to be better. We all know this motivation takes a really long time to take root. The key to promote motivation is to develop trust through patience and honesty. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world. This is what real success looks like and that is what we call a win-win. 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?

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）In the glittering world of Olympic figure skating, where every move is judged under the harshest of lights, failures can be brutally exposed. It was during one such moment that Mario, a once-promising star, stumbled (绊倒) and fell, his dream crashing down with the thud (砰的一声) of the skate blades on the ice. The initial shock was followed by a deep sense of despair. Doubts crept in, whispering that he might never rise again. Each day seemed darker than the last, as Mario struggled to find his footing in a world that suddenly felt so alien and unforgiving of himself. But within this darkness, Mario began to forgive himself and accept the reality. He remembered the countless hours of training, the sacrifices made, and the love for the sport that had burned so brightly before. Slowly, he picked himself up, dusted off the ice shards (碎片) of defeat, and began to skate again. This time, it was different. Each fall became a lesson, each mistake an opportunity for growth. He learned to embrace his failures, using them as stepping stones to greater heights. With renewed determination, Mario pushed himself harder, skating with a newfound grace and power. Finally, the day arrived when our hero stepped onto the Olympic ice once more. This time, there was no fear, only focus. As the music went on and he began his routine, every move flowed with effortless elegance. When the final note rang out, he knew he had done it. This young man had risen from the ashes of failure and embraced success again, stronger and more brilliant than before. As the crowd erupted in applause and the athlete stood center ice, a single tear traced down his cheek. It was a tear of joy, relief, and pride — a testament to the journey he had endured. At that moment, he understood that failure was not the end, but rather a beginning — a chance to rise stronger, wiser, and more determined. And so, Mario smiled, knowing that the road ahead, no matter how bumpy, would be filled with the sweet taste of victory and the knowledge that true success comes from overcoming the toughest challenges. 24．(2.5分)What made Mario so unforgiving toward himself? A．His sudden loss of balance on the ice. B．His struggle to regain control after the fall. C．His skate blades getting caught on the surface. D．His hopelessness and self-doubt after the failure. 25．(2.5分)How did the athlete adjust himself back to the ice stage? A．He encouraged himself to forget the disappointment and move on. B．He transformed himself into a more confident and powerful performer. C．He acknowledged the failures and turned them into motivation for growth. D．He increased the intensity of his training and endured greater physical strain. 26．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Mario in this passage? A．Sensible and graceful. B．Modest and dedicated. C．Strong-willed and resilient. D．Hardworking and elegant. 27．(2.5分)What can we learn from this story? A．Chances favor the prepared. B．Every cloud has a silver lining. C．Constant dripping wears away the stone. D．What doesn’t defeat you makes you stronger. 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．C 27．D 【导语】文章讲述了一位花滑运动员经历赛场失利后，心理上一度绝望并对自己产生怀疑，但经过自我调整，最终重获辉煌的故事。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“It was during one such moment that Mario, a once-promising star, stumbled and fell, his dream crashing down with the thud of the skate blades on the ice.(就在这样一个关键时刻，马里奥——这位曾经前途无量的明星——失足摔倒了，他的梦想也随之轰然破碎，伴随着冰刀在冰面上的撞击声而彻底破灭。)”和第二段“The initial shock was followed by a deep sense of despair. Doubts crept in, whispering that he might never rise again. Each day seemed darker than the last(伴随最初的震惊，紧随而来的是深深的绝望。他开始怀疑自己，觉得自己再也站不起来。每一天都比前一天更加黑暗。)”可知，失败后的绝望和自我怀疑让他无法原谅自己。 25．细节理解题。根据第三段“But within this darkness, Mario began to forgive himself and accept the reality. (但在这黑暗之中，马里奥开始原谅自己，并接受了现实。)”和第四段“Each fall became a lesson, each mistake an opportunity for growth. He learned to embrace his failures, using them as stepping stones to greater heights.(每一次跌倒都是一次教训，每一次错误都是一次成长的机会。他学会了接受自己的失败，把它们当作通往更高境界的垫脚石。)”可知，他承认失败并将其转化为成长的动力。 26．推理判断题。根据第四段“With renewed determination, Mario pushed himself harder, skating with a newfound grace and power. (有了新的决心，马里奥更加努力地推动自己，以一种新的优雅和力量滑冰。)”以及第五段“This young man had risen from the ashes of failure and embraced success again, stronger and more brilliant than before.(这个年轻人从失败的灰烬中站起来，再次拥抱成功，比以前更强大、更辉煌。)”可知，马里奥意志坚强且有韧性。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“At that moment, he understood that failure was not the end, but rather a beginning — a chance to rise stronger, wiser, and more determined.(那一刻，他明白了失败不是终点，而是起点——一个变得更强大、更睿智、更坚定的机会。)”以及全文主旨，可知故事告诉我们：没有打败你的东西会让你更强大。 （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）The value of embracing adversity (逆境) is almost always discovered after the fact. This is because it is also a truth that learning in the face of challenge, disappointment and frustration is as important as understanding what it takes to be successful. Learning these lessons well and surviving the tests that the lessons lie in lead to even greater moments of confidence and accomplishment. Young athletes that are comfortable overcoming adversities are the ones that find the greatest growth, and ultimately the greatest success. Famous strength coach Vern Gambetta and others summarized this concept in the thought that, to be great, you must “be comfortable being uncomfortable”. To put it bluntly (直言地) the best athletes welcome challenge and adversity as a requirement for growth and achievement. The best coaches create environments that challenge limits and take athletes to places they wouldn’t go to on their own, and even create adversity from time to time for this reason. To sum up, one very basic but exceptionally powerful conclusion can be reached: Young athletes, when facing moments of frustration and challenge in their personal sporting development, must be encouraged to solve problems themselves, work harder to overcome disappointments, and take ownership and control of their own destinies. In today’s society, unfortunately, eliminating any sign of potential adversity for young athletes is universal (普遍的). Well-intentioned individuals (parents, coaches and many other related adults) frequently try to remove every barrier and challenge on the road their young athlete travels. The unfortunate product of these good intentions is only realized when the athletes finally come to a challenge that they must meet alone and then find themselves completely unprepared to deal with it and have a tough time reviving if they fail to overcome the challenge. Psychologist Max Trenerry notes that the concept of willingness to accept adversity or failure is important whether for learning new skills in sports or dealing with anxiety-causing thoughts in therapy. He adds that, while every parent may ‘rescue’ their children from time to time, doing so frequently creates bigger long-term complications and prevents growth of personal perseverance. 32．(2.5分)Which statement will Vern Gambetta probably agree with? A．Great athletes are good at avoiding adversity. B．Good learners tend to have ambitious goals. C．Athletes leading a relaxed life can be more successful. D．Coaches should bring more challenges to athletes. 33．(2.5分)Which of the following can replace the underlined word “eliminating” in paragraph 4? A．Facilitating. B．Creating. C．Removing. D．Welcoming. 34．(2.5分)What can we infer about the practice of removing adversity for young athletes? A．It helps athletes build confidence quickly. B．It may cause long-term problems for athletes. C．It is supported by most psychologists. D．It prepares athletes well for future challenges. 35．(2.5分)What does Max Trenerry think of parents “rescuing” their children frequently? A．It is harmful to the development of children’s perseverance. B．It is the best way to protect children from failure. C．It helps children learn new skills more easily. D．It reduces children’s anxiety about challenges. 【答案】32．D 33．C 34．B 35．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文指出接纳逆境对成长和成功至关重要，优秀运动员与教练均重视逆境的价值，而当下为运动员消除逆境的做法会带来长远危害。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Famous strength coach Vern Gambetta and others summarized this concept in the thought that, to be great, you must “be comfortable being uncomfortable”. To put it bluntly (直言地) the best athletes welcome challenge and adversity as a requirement for growth and achievement. The best coaches create environments that challenge limits and take athletes to places they wouldn’t go to on their own, and even create adversity from time to time for this reason.( 著名的力量教练Vern Gambetta和其他人总结了这个概念，认为要想变得伟大，你必须“适应不舒服”。坦率地说，最优秀的运动员欢迎挑战和逆境，因为这是成长和成就的必要条件。最好的教练会创造挑战极限的环境，把运动员带到他们自己无法到达的地方，甚至为此时不时地制造逆境。)”可知，提到Vern Gambetta 的观点“要变得优秀，必须‘乐于面对不适’”，且后文补充 “优秀教练会创造挑战极限的环境，甚至主动制造逆境”。由此可推知，他认同教练应当为运动员增加挑战。故选D项。 33．词句猜测题。根据第四段划线单词后文“Well-intentioned individuals (parents, coaches and many other related adults) frequently try to remove every barrier and challenge on the road their young athlete travels.( 善意的个人（父母、教练和许多其他相关的成年人）经常试图消除他们的年轻运动员在旅途中的每一个障碍和挑战。)”提到“好心的家长、教练会移除年轻运动员成长路上的所有障碍和挑战”，这是对eliminating any sign of potential adversity 的具体解释，因此eliminating和C选项removing（移除）词义最接近。故选C项。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The unfortunate product of these good intentions is only realized when the athletes finally come to a challenge that they must meet alone and then find themselves completely unprepared to deal with it and have a tough time reviving if they fail to overcome the challenge.( 这些良好意愿的不幸结果只有在运动员最终面临挑战时才会意识到，他们必须独自面对挑战，然后发现自己完全没有准备好应对它，如果他们不能克服挑战，他们将很难恢复。)”可知，为运动员清除所有逆境的做法，会导致他们在独自面对挑战时毫无准备，失败后难以振作。由此可推断，这种行为可能给运动员带来长期问题。故选B项。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Psychologist Max Trenerry notes that the concept of willingness to accept adversity or failure is important whether for learning new skills in sports or dealing with anxiety-causing thoughts in therapy. He adds that, while every parent may ‘rescue’ their children from time to time, doing so frequently creates bigger long-term complications and prevents growth of personal perseverance.( 心理学家Max Trenerry指出，愿意接受逆境或失败的概念是很重要的，无论是在学习体育运动中的新技能还是在治疗中处理引起焦虑的想法。他还说，虽然每个父母都会时不时地“拯救”自己的孩子，但这样做往往会造成更大的长期问题，并阻碍个人毅力的培养。)”可推知，Max Trenerry 明确表示，频繁“拯救”孩子会造成更严重的长期问题，阻碍孩子毅力的培养。故选A项。 （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.

Back then, I had only one 41 : to get into a top car manufacturer in my country. I 42 all other opportunities and focused entirely on this company. After clearing the written exam, I felt quite 43 about my interview. But the result was a heavy blow — I was 44 . For several days, I was completely down, and I 45 the interviewers, my fate, and everyone else except myself. Then everything 46 when I attended a talk about the locus of control (控制源) — the belief that you are 47 for everything that happens to you, good or bad. This idea 48 me deeply and made me start looking inward. I came to see that I had always put the blame on outside factors — my parents, my school — never on me. When I carefully re-examined my interview, I recognized the 49 : I lacked certain knowledge and my communication was weak. So I decided to 50 those weaknesses. In the following interview, with better 51 and genuine self-awareness, I performed much better and 52 a job at a company that was even better than my original dream. People say failure is a strict but far more 53 teacher than success. That season, I graduated not only as an engineer but also as a student of life, learning that once you 54 blaming the outside world and begin to own your failures, you 55 the ability to build a stronger version of yourself. 41．(1分)A．option B．dream C．assignment D．appointment 42．(1分)A．compared B．seized C．dismissed D．lacked 43．(1分)A．anxious B．concerned C．confident D．curious 44．(1分)A．ignored B．rejected C．evaluated D．promoted 45．(1分)A．blamed B．forgave C．analyzed D．challenged 46．(1分)A．happened B．changed C．worked D．failed 47．(1分)A．ready B．grateful C．qualified D．responsible 48．(1分)A．terrified B．moved C．confused D．struck 49．(1分)A．truth B．hope C．consequence D．excuse 50．(1分)A．looked for B．hid from C．worked on D．lived with 51．(1分)A．payment B．preparation C．reason D．relation 52．(1分)A．regained B．discovered C．secured D．occupied 53．(1分)A．powerful B．patient C．creative D．devoted 54．(1分)A．delay B．regret C．stop D．mind 55．(1分)A．prove B．understand C．need D．reclaim 【答案】 41．B 42．C 43．C 44．B 45．A 46．B 47．D 48．D 49．A 50．C 51．B 52．C 53．A 54．C 55．D 【导语】文章主要讲述了一位机械工程专业的大四学生在求职季遭遇面试失败后，通过“控制源”理论反思自身问题，最终成功获得更好工作的经历。 【详解】41．考查名词。句意：那时，我只有一个梦想：进入我国顶尖的汽车制造商。A. option选择；B. dream梦想；C. assignment任务；D. appointment约定。根据倒数第二段末的“than my original dream”可知，进入顶尖的汽车制造公司是作者的初衷和梦想。 42．考查动词。句意：我放弃了所有其他的机会，全身心投入这家公司。A. compared比较；B. seized抓住；C. dismissed不予考虑，摒弃；D. lacked缺乏。根据下文“focused entirely on this company”可知，作者专注于这一家公司，从而放弃了其他机会。 43．考查形容词。句意：通过笔试后，我对自己的面试感到相当自信。A. anxious焦虑的；B. concerned担心的；C. confident自信的；D. curious好奇的。根据下文的转折“But the result was a heavy blow”可知，结果是沉重的打击，说明原本作者是自信满满的。 44．考查动词。句意：但结果却是一个沉重的打击——我被拒绝了。A. ignored忽视；B. rejected拒绝；C. evaluated评估；D. promoted提拔。根据前文“a heavy blow”可知，面试结果是未被录用，即作者被拒绝了。 45．考查动词。句意：连续好几天，我都一蹶不振，我责怪面试官、责怪我的命运，还有除我自己之外的所有人。A. blamed责怪；B. forgave原谅；C. analyzed分析；D. challenged挑战。根据下文“I had always put the blame on outside factors”可知，作者当时在怨天尤人。 46．考查动词。句意：后来，当我参加了一场关于控制源的讲座时，一切都改变了。控制源是一种信念，即你应为发生在你身上的每一件事负责，无论好坏。A. happened发生；B. changed改变；C. worked起作用；D. failed失败。根据下文“made me start looking inward”可知，这个讲座让作者开始自省，人生从此有了转折。 47．考查形容词。句意：后来，当我参加了一场关于控制源的讲座时，一切都改变了。控制源是一种信念，即你应为发生在你身上的每一件事负责，无论好坏。A. ready准备好的；B. grateful感激的；C. qualified合格的；D. responsible负责的。根据下文“made me start looking inward”以及“I came to see that I had always put the blame on outside factors可知，控制源强调个人责任。 48．考查动词。句意：这个想法深深地触动了我，让我开始审视内心。A. terrified使恐惧；B. moved使感动；C. confused使困惑；D. struck打动，撞击心灵。根据下文“made me start looking inward”可知，这个观念极大地触动或点醒了作者；struck me deeply表示“深深地打动或触动了我”。 49．考查名词。句意：我认真重新审视面试后，认清了事实：我缺乏某些知识，沟通能力也薄弱。A. truth事实、真相；B. hope希望；C. consequence结果；D. excuse借口。根据下文“I lacked certain knowledge and my communication was weak”可知，作者认清了自己的问题所在，即事实。 50．考查动词短语。句意：所以我决定努力克服这些弱点。A. looked for寻找；B. hid from躲避；C. worked on致力于、改进；D. lived with忍受。根据下文“I performed much better”可知，作者在努力改进不足。 51．考查名词。句意：在接下来的面试中，凭借更充分的准备和真诚的自我认知，我表现得好得多并且在一家比最初梦想还要好的公司获得了工作。A. payment报酬；B. preparation准备；C. reason理由；D. relation关系。根据上文“So I decided to ________ those weaknesses.”以及下文“I performed much better”可知，作者弥补弱点、反思自我，结果表现更好，由此可知作者做了更好的准备。 52．考查动词。句意：在接下来的面试中，凭借更充分的准备和真诚的自我认知，我表现得好得多并且在一家比最初梦想还要好的公司获得了工作。A. regained重新获得；B. discovered发现；C. secured成功得到、获得；D. occupied占据。根据上文“with better ________ and genuine self-awareness, I performed much better”可知，作者因在面试时表现良好而获得了一份工作。 53．考查形容词。句意：人们说失败是一位严格但远比成功更有力量的老师。 A. powerful有力的，强大的；B. patient耐心的；C. creative有创造力的；D. devoted忠诚的。 根据上文“People say failure is a strict but far more”并结合作者找工作的经历可知，作者认为失败比成功更有力量。 54．考查动词。句意：那个季节，我不仅作为一名工程师毕业，也作为生活的学生毕业，明白了一旦你停止责怪外部世界，开始承担自己的失败，你就能重新获得塑造更强大自我的能力。 A. delay推迟；B. regret后悔；C. stop停止；D. mind介意。 根据下文“and begin to own your failures”可知，此处指停止责怪外部世界。 55．考查动词。句意：那个季节，我不仅作为一名工程师毕业，也作为生活的学生毕业，明白了一旦你停止责怪外部世界，开始承担自己的失败，你就能重新获得塑造更强大自我的能力。A. prove证明；B. understand理解；C. need需要；D. reclaim重新获得；取回。根据上文“once you ________ blaming the outside world and begin to own your failures”可知，停止责怪外界后就能重新获得塑造更强大自己的能力。 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。 Society often celebrates success and hides failure, but the path to achievement is usually paved with setbacks. J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter manuscript was rejected by twelve publishers. Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school multiple times. These stories remind us that failure is not the opposite of success; it is 56(1.5分) integral part of the journey. Failure provides invaluable data. It teaches us what doesn’t work,   57(1.5分) forces us to innovate and adapt. Thomas Edison famously said of the light bulb, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” This mindset views failure as a learning opportunity rather than 58(1.5分) final verdict. The fear of failure, however, can be paralyzing. It can prevent us 59(1.5分) taking risks or trying new things. To overcome this, we must reframe our perception of failure. We should aim for progress, not perfection. Each small stumble is a step forward 60(1.5分) (long) as we learn from it. Resilience — the ability to bounce back from adversity — is a key trait developed through experiencing and overcoming failure. Building resilience requires self-compassion and a focus on effort over outcome. It’s also helpful to share our failures; 61(1.5分) (do) so reduces stigma and creates a supportive environment where others feel safe to take risks. In science, business, and art, breakthroughs are rarely achieved without prior failures. Embracing failure as a teacher, 62(1.5分) than a tormentor, unlocks creativity and perseverance. So, the next time you face a setback, ask yourself: “What can I learn from this?” This simple question can transform a moment of 63(1.5分) (frustrate) into a powerful catalyst for growth. Remember, the only true failure is the failure 64(1.5分) learn and to try again. Success often lies just beyond the point where most people choose 65(1.5分) (give) up. 【答案】 56．an 57．and 58．a 59．from 60．as long 61．doing 62．rather 63．frustration 64．to 65．to give 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出失败是成功的必经之路，提供了宝贵的学习机会。我们应摒弃对失败的恐惧，将其视为成长的催化剂，保持韧性，坚持不懈，方能取得成就。 【详解】56．考查冠词。句意：这些故事向我们表明，失败并非成功的对立面；它乃是这一旅程不可或缺的一部分。此处part为泛指，此空填不定冠词，且integral是发音以元音音素开头的单词。故填an。 57．考查连词。句意：它让我们明白哪些方法行不通，并促使我们进行创新和调整。此处连接两个并列的谓语动词teaches和forces，表示递进关系，故用连词and。故填and。 58．考查冠词。句意：这种观念认为失败是学习的机会，而非最终的定论。verdict为可数名词，此处表泛指，且空后final是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，填不定冠词a。故填a。 59．考查介词。句意：它会阻止我们去冒险或尝试新事物。短语prevent sb from doing表示“阻止某人做某事”，是固定搭配。故填from。 60．考查状语从句。句意：只要我们能从中吸取教训，每一次小小的失误都意味着我们正在向前迈进。引导条件状语从句，表示“只要”用as long as。故填as long。 61．考查非谓语动词。句意：而且，分享我们的失败经历也是很有帮助的；这样做能够减轻对失败的耻辱感，并营造出一个支持性的环境，让其他人敢于去冒险尝试。作主语，用动名词形式。故填doing。 62．考查固定短语。句意：将失败视为一位导师而非折磨者，能够激发创造力和坚韧精神。短语rather than表示“而不是”是固定搭配。故填rather。 63．考查名词。句意：这样一个简单的问题能够将一时的沮丧转化为推动自身成长的强大动力。作介词的宾语，用名词frustration。故填frustration。 64．考查固定短语。句意：请记住，真正的失败只有两种情况：一是没有学习从而未能取得进步；二是没有再次尝试。failure to do sth.表示“未能做某事”。故填to。 65．考查非谓语动词。句意：而成功往往就存在于大多数人选择放弃的那一时刻之后。短语choose to do sth.表示“选择做某事”，填动词不定式作宾语。故填to give。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是高二学生李华，你最近在英语听说能力上遇到了瓶颈，感到十分焦虑。请你给外教Emma写一封邮件求助，内容包括： 1. 简述你在听说方面遇到的困难； 2. 恳请她给予建议或指导，并表达感谢。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Emma, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Emma, I am Li Hua, a student from your Grade 2 class.

He worked hard on his entry, believing it was his chance to prove himself. However, when the results were announced, David’s name wasn’t there. He felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration, as if all his hard work had been in vain. After the competition, David felt too embarrassed to talk about his failure. He spent days in his room, avoiding everyone. His former imagination seemed to have dried up, and he couldn’t find the motivation to write anymore. It felt like a part of him had been destroyed. One afternoon, as David sat in his room, his English teacher, Mr. Carter, came to visit. Mr. Carter was a kind and encouraging teacher who had always believed in David's potential. He had noticed David’s absence in class and decided to check in on him. “Hey, David,” Mr. Carter said gently. “I heard about the competition. I’m really sorry you didn’t win, but I know how much effort you put into it. You should be proud of yourself for trying.” David looked down, feeling defeated. “I just don’t get it, Mr. Carter,” he said quietly. “I worked so hard, but it wasn’t enough. I feel like I’m never going to be good enough.” Mr. Carter sat down next to David and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. He said, “David, writing is not just about winning competitions. It’s about expressing yourself and sharing your ideas. Sometimes, even the best writers don’t win. But that doesn’t mean they’re not good. It just means they need to keep trying and learning.” With Mr. Carter’s encouragement, David began to analyze his writing. They discussed the strengths and weaknesses of his entry, and Mr. Carter offered valuable suggestions. David started to feel more confident and motivated. He realized that failure was just a part of the learning process. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next school year brought another writing competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing. He practiced every day, incorporating Mr. Carter’s advice. He wrote essays, short stories, and even poetry, constantly pushing himself to improve. Slowly but surely, his confidence grew, and he began to enjoy writing again. He found that the more he wrote, the more ideas flowed through his mind. Each word he put on paper felt like a small victory, and he started to see his writing in a new light. He realized that the joy of writing wasn’t just in winning competitions, but in the process of creation itself. The next school year brought another writing competition. This time, David was determined to give it his best shot. He submitted an essay that he had worked on for weeks, feeling more prepared and hopeful than ever before. When the results were announced, David’s heart raced with anticipation. To his delight, his name was called as one of the winners. He couldn’t believe it — he had done it! All the hard work and perseverance had paid off. David knew that this victory was not just his own; it was evidence for the power of believing in oneself and never giving up. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述大卫热爱写作，参加英语写作比赛却失利，他失望沮丧，英语老师卡特先生安慰并鼓励他，他开始分析自己的写作。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在接下来的几周里，大卫重新投入到写作中。”可知，第一段可描述大卫按照卡特先生的建议坚持练习写作，逐渐找回信心，重新享受写作的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“新的学年带来了另一场写作比赛。”可知，第二段可描述大卫积极参赛，最终获得胜利，明白了坚持和相信自己的力量。 2. 续写线索：投入写作练习——信心增长——参加新比赛——获得胜利——明白坚持的力量 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①提高：improve/advance ②开始：begin/start ③提交：submit/hand in 情绪类 ①愉快：joy/delight/happiness ②下定决心的：determined/resolved 【点睛】[高分句型1] He practiced every day, incorporating Mr. Carter’s advice.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) [高分句型2] When the results were announced, David’s heart raced with anticipation.

It was during one such moment that Mario, a once-promising star, stumbled (绊倒) and fell, his dream crashing down with the thud (砰的一声) of the skate blades on the ice. The initial shock was followed by a deep sense of despair. Doubts crept in, whispering that he might never rise again. Each day seemed darker than the last, as Mario struggled to find his footing in a world that suddenly felt so alien and unforgiving of himself. But within this darkness, Mario began to forgive himself and accept the reality. He remembered the countless hours of training, the sacrifices made, and the love for the sport that had burned so brightly before. Slowly, he picked himself up, dusted off the ice shards (碎片) of defeat, and began to skate again. This time, it was different. Each fall became a lesson, each mistake an opportunity for growth. He learned to embrace his failures, using them as stepping stones to greater heights. With renewed determination, Mario pushed himself harder, skating with a newfound grace and power. Finally, the day arrived when our hero stepped onto the Olympic ice once more. This time, there was no fear, only focus. As the music went on and he began his routine, every move flowed with effortless elegance. When the final note rang out, he knew he had done it. This young man had risen from the ashes of failure and embraced success again, stronger and more brilliant than before. As the crowd erupted in applause and the athlete stood center ice, a single tear traced down his cheek. It was a tear of joy, relief, and pride — a testament to the journey he had endured. At that moment, he understood that failure was not the end, but rather a beginning — a chance to rise stronger, wiser, and more determined. And so, Mario smiled, knowing that the road ahead, no matter how bumpy, would be filled with the sweet taste of victory and the knowledge that true success comes from overcoming the toughest challenges. 24．(2.5分)What made Mario so unforgiving toward himself? A．His sudden loss of balance on the ice. B．His struggle to regain control after the fall. C．His skate blades getting caught on the surface. D．His hopelessness and self-doubt after the failure. 25．(2.5分)How did the athlete adjust himself back to the ice stage? A．He encouraged himself to forget the disappointment and move on. B．He transformed himself into a more confident and powerful performer. C．He acknowledged the failures and turned them into motivation for growth. D．He increased the intensity of his training and endured greater physical strain. 26．(2.5分)Which of the following best describes Mario in this passage? A．Sensible and graceful. B．Modest and dedicated. C．Strong-willed and resilient. D．Hardworking and elegant. 27．(2.5分)What can we learn from this story? A．Chances favor the prepared. B．Every cloud has a silver lining. C．Constant dripping wears away the stone. D．What doesn’t defeat you makes you stronger. （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?

This is because it is also a truth that learning in the face of challenge, disappointment and frustration is as important as understanding what it takes to be successful. Learning these lessons well and surviving the tests that the lessons lie in lead to even greater moments of confidence and accomplishment. Young athletes that are comfortable overcoming adversities are the ones that find the greatest growth, and ultimately the greatest success. Famous strength coach Vern Gambetta and others summarized this concept in the thought that, to be great, you must “be comfortable being uncomfortable”. To put it bluntly (直言地) the best athletes welcome challenge and adversity as a requirement for growth and achievement. The best coaches create environments that challenge limits and take athletes to places they wouldn’t go to on their own, and even create adversity from time to time for this reason. To sum up, one very basic but exceptionally powerful conclusion can be reached: Young athletes, when facing moments of frustration and challenge in their personal sporting development, must be encouraged to solve problems themselves, work harder to overcome disappointments, and take ownership and control of their own destinies. In today’s society, unfortunately, eliminating any sign of potential adversity for young athletes is universal (普遍的). Well-intentioned individuals (parents, coaches and many other related adults) frequently try to remove every barrier and challenge on the road their young athlete travels. The unfortunate product of these good intentions is only realized when the athletes finally come to a challenge that they must meet alone and then find themselves completely unprepared to deal with it and have a tough time reviving if they fail to overcome the challenge. Psychologist Max Trenerry notes that the concept of willingness to accept adversity or failure is important whether for learning new skills in sports or dealing with anxiety-causing thoughts in therapy. He adds that, while every parent may ‘rescue’ their children from time to time, doing so frequently creates bigger long-term complications and prevents growth of personal perseverance. 32．(2.5分)Which statement will Vern Gambetta probably agree with? A．Great athletes are good at avoiding adversity. B．Good learners tend to have ambitious goals. C．Athletes leading a relaxed life can be more successful. D．Coaches should bring more challenges to athletes. 33．(2.5分)Which of the following can replace the underlined word “eliminating” in paragraph 4? A．Facilitating. B．Creating. C．Removing. D．Welcoming. 34．(2.5分)What can we infer about the practice of removing adversity for young athletes? A．It helps athletes build confidence quickly. B．It may cause long-term problems for athletes. C．It is supported by most psychologists. D．It prepares athletes well for future challenges. 35．(2.5分)What does Max Trenerry think of parents “rescuing” their children frequently? A．It is harmful to the development of children’s perseverance. B．It is the best way to protect children from failure. C．It helps children learn new skills more easily. D．It reduces children’s anxiety about challenges. （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）During my final year of college as a Mechanical Engineering major, the job-hunting season completely changed my life. Back then, I had only one 41 : to get into a top car manufacturer in my country. I 42 all other opportunities and focused entirely on this company. After clearing the written exam, I felt quite 43 about my interview. But the result was a heavy blow — I was 44 . For several days, I was completely down, and I 45 the interviewers, my fate, and everyone else except myself. Then everything 46 when I attended a talk about the locus of control (控制源) — the belief that you are 47 for everything that happens to you, good or bad. This idea 48 me deeply and made me start looking inward. I came to see that I had always put the blame on outside factors — my parents, my school — never on me. When I carefully re-examined my interview, I recognized the 49 : I lacked certain knowledge and my communication was weak. So I decided to 50 those weaknesses. In the following interview, with better 51 and genuine self-awareness, I performed much better and 52 a job at a company that was even better than my original dream. People say failure is a strict but far more 53 teacher than success. That season, I graduated not only as an engineer but also as a student of life, learning that once you 54 blaming the outside world and begin to own your failures, you 55 the ability to build a stronger version of yourself. 41．(1分)A．option B．dream C．assignment D．appointment 42．(1分)A．compared B．seized C．dismissed D．lacked 43．(1分)A．anxious B．concerned C．confident D．curious 44．(1分)A．ignored B．rejected C．evaluated D．promoted 45．(1分)A．blamed B．forgave C．analyzed D．challenged 46．(1分)A．happened B．changed C．worked D．failed 47．(1分)A．ready B．grateful C．qualified D．responsible 48．(1分)A．terrified B．moved C．confused D．struck 49．(1分)A．truth B．hope C．consequence D．excuse 50．(1分)A．looked for B．hid from C．worked on D．lived with 51．(1分)A．payment B．preparation C．reason D．relation 52．(1分)A．regained B．discovered C．secured D．occupied 53．(1分)A．powerful B．patient C．creative D．devoted 54．(1分)A．delay B．regret C．stop D．mind 55．(1分)A．prove B．understand C．need D．reclaim 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。 Society often celebrates success and hides failure, but the path to achievement is usually paved with setbacks. J.K. Rowling’s first Harry Potter manuscript was rejected by twelve publishers. Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school multiple times. These stories remind us that failure is not the opposite of success; it is 56(1.5分) integral part of the journey. Failure provides invaluable data. It teaches us what doesn’t work,   57(1.5分) forces us to innovate and adapt. Thomas Edison famously said of the light bulb, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” This mindset views failure as a learning opportunity rather than 58(1.5分) final verdict. The fear of failure, however, can be paralyzing. It can prevent us 59(1.5分) taking risks or trying new things. To overcome this, we must reframe our perception of failure. We should aim for progress, not perfection. Each small stumble is a step forward 60(1.5分) (long) as we learn from it. Resilience — the ability to bounce back from adversity — is a key trait developed through experiencing and overcoming failure. Building resilience requires self-compassion and a focus on effort over outcome. It’s also helpful to share our failures; 61(1.5分) (do) so reduces stigma and creates a supportive environment where others feel safe to take risks. In science, business, and art, breakthroughs are rarely achieved without prior failures. Embracing failure as a teacher, 62(1.5分) than a tormentor, unlocks creativity and perseverance. So, the next time you face a setback, ask yourself: “What can I learn from this?” This simple question can transform a moment of 63(1.5分) (frustrate) into a powerful catalyst for growth. Remember, the only true failure is the failure 64(1.5分) learn and to try again. Success often lies just beyond the point where most people choose 65(1.5分) (give) up. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假定你是高二学生李华，你最近在英语听说能力上遇到了瓶颈，感到十分焦虑。请你给外教Emma写一封邮件求助，内容包括： 1. 简述你在听说方面遇到的困难； 2. 恳请她给予建议或指导，并表达感谢。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Emma, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, 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。 David loved writing. When the school announced an English writing competition, David was eager to participate. He worked hard on his entry, believing it was his chance to prove himself. However, when the results were announced, David’s name wasn’t there. He felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration, as if all his hard work had been in vain. After the competition, David felt too embarrassed to talk about his failure. He spent days in his room, avoiding everyone. His former imagination seemed to have dried up, and he couldn’t find the motivation to write anymore. It felt like a part of him had been destroyed. One afternoon, as David sat in his room, his English teacher, Mr. Carter, came to visit. Mr. Carter was a kind and encouraging teacher who had always believed in David's potential. He had noticed David’s absence in class and decided to check in on him. “Hey, David,” Mr. Carter said gently. “I heard about the competition. I’m really sorry you didn’t win, but I know how much effort you put into it. You should be proud of yourself for trying.” David looked down, feeling defeated. “I just don’t get it, Mr. Carter,” he said quietly. “I worked so hard, but it wasn’t enough. I feel like I’m never going to be good enough.” Mr. Carter sat down next to David and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. He said, “David, writing is not just about winning competitions. It’s about expressing yourself and sharing your ideas. Sometimes, even the best writers don’t win. But that doesn’t mean they’re not good. It just means they need to keep trying and learning.” With Mr. Carter’s encouragement, David began to analyze his writing. They discussed the strengths and weaknesses of his entry, and Mr. Carter offered valuable suggestions. David started to feel more confident and motivated. He realized that failure was just a part of the learning process. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Over the next few weeks, David threw himself back into his writing. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next school year brought another writing competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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 $
