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. （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. 28．(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. 29．(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. 30．(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. 31．(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10分）At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true talents achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less able. In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily recognizable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to distinguish. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. The study shows that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade (衰退) over time. This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on results or singing high praises for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education. 32．(2.5分)Which of the following is experiencing “Stanford Duck Syndrome”? A．Someone who thinks more of effort than well-being. B．Someone who reduces stress through social activities. C．Someone who shows graceful images to attract others. D．Someone who hides hard work to appear naturally gifted. 33．(2.5分)What can we learn about the experiment according to paragraph 3? A．It shows effort fuels the brain activity. B．It proves focus enhances brain function. C．It associates careful observation with talent. D．It links memory storage to abstract reasoning. 34．(2.5分)What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”? A．It values the learning process over results. B．It causes stress and false ideas about success. C．It makes students focus too much on socializing. D．It prevents students from recognizing their talents. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following might the author agree with? A．Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece. B．Fortune favors those with high intelligence. C．Work in silence and let success make the noise. D．Talent plays a more critical role in success than effort. （本题12.5分）In my latest book, The Success Factor, I outline the four mindsets found in extreme high achievers. Many people wonder what sets top performers apart from ordinary ones. 36(2.5分) Stay driven from inside I have found that scientists are not driven by such motivators: promotions, diplomas or awards. If they were, those I interviewed would have quit doing science after winning a Nobel Prize. Instead, many leading scientists are still doing research long after they qualify for retirement. 37(2.5分) They simply love the process of discovery itself. 38(2.5分) There are always challenges on the way to success. Most people easily give up when facing difficulties. However, the high achievers face them bravely and keep moving forward. Eventually, they fear not trying more than they fear failing. They work hard to “control what they can control”, and they don’t think over issues and challenges that are beyond their control. Keep making progress 39(2.5分) What worked for them early on in their careers is what they continue with later. The scientists who have won a Nobel Prize are still designing experiments and writing papers to further their careers. They refuse to stand still even with great honors. They stick to their effective methods and keep moving toward higher goals. Keep learning informally Despite their advanced degrees and praise, the high achievers made a point of continuing their learning by reading books, articles and blogs, watching videos and talking to others. They never think they have learned enough and always stay hungry for new knowledge. 40(2.5分) In this way, they keep their knowledge up-to-date and their creativity fresh. No one aims to be average in life. People want to succeed but often lack the understanding of how to achieve more. So learning from top scientists can guide us in our own life and work. A．Persist and never give up. B．Set up a strong foundation. C．This book provides clear and practical answers. D．High achievers do not rest on their achievements. E．Reading widely is the only way to gain rich knowledge. F．Their inner motivation keeps them devoted to their work. G．They keep updating their knowledge and skills all the time. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）In a small village lived a boy named Ethan. He 41 playing the guitar.

However, one of the 63(1.5分) (judge) said to me that my speech was quite good, but it needed to be 64(1.5分)   (good) if I wanted to go any further. He advised me to struggle to overcome something like some of the empty gestures. He said that I would surely succeed some day. Hearing such instructive and 65(1.5分) (inspire) words, I knew I failed successfully. Losing is normal and part of life.

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 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 2 Onwards and Upwards（适中版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 are the speakers mainly talking about?

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） People with fixed mindsets believe that: • Skill, intelligence and talents are natural. • Failure is shameful and should be avoided. • Some people are naturally good at things while others not. • You are not in control of your abilities. People with growth mindsets believe that: • You have the capacity to learn and grow your skills. • Failure is a valuable lesson. • People who are good at something are good because they build that ability. • You are in control of your abilities. have a desire to look smart, so tend to: — Avoid challenges. — Give up easily. — See effort as fruitless or worse. — Ignore useful negative feedback. — Feel threatened by the success of others. have a desire to learn, so tend to: — Welcome challenges. — Insist in the face of setbacks (挫折). — See effort as the path to mastery. — Learn from criticism. — Find lessons and encouragement in the success of others. As a result, they may stay at the same level early and achieve less than their full potential. As a result, they reach ever-higher levels of achievement. Change can be tough, but I’ve never heard anyone say it wasn’t worth it. Did changing to a growth mindset solve all my problems? No. But I know that I have a different life because of it — a richer one. 21．(2.5分)What do people with fixed mindsets tend to do? A．Embrace challenges and insist. B．Avoid challenges and give up easily. C．Learn from criticism and failure. D．Find encouragement in others’ success. 22．(2.5分)What is a person with a growth mindset likely to say? A．Failure just proves I am not good enough. B．To be good at art, I need to be naturally gifted. C．The success of others makes me feel threatened. D．Effort is really what helps me master something. 23．(2.5分)Where is the text most likely from? A．A travel brochure. B．A news report about health. C．A personal blog about daily life.

Did changing to a growth mindset solve all my problems? No. But I know that I have a different life because of it — a richer one.(改变的过程或许艰难，但我从未听谁说过这份改变不值得。转变为成长型思维模式就能解决我所有的问题吗？并不能。但我清楚，正是这份转变让我的人生焕然一新——变得更加丰盈充实。)”讲述自身转变思维收获更好生活的感悟可知，这篇文本最有可能出自一本关于个人成长发展的书籍。 （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）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. 28．(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. 29．(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. 30．(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. 31．(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】28．D 29．A 30．C 31．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】28．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。 29．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。 30．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。 31．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10分）At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true talents achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less able. In an effort to challenge this misconception, researchers designed an experiment. Participants were asked to observe a series of colors carefully while scientists tracked their brain activity throughout the process. The experiment was divided into two parts: one with easily recognizable colors and the other with colors that were quite similar, requiring more effort to distinguish. As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. The study shows that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade (衰退) over time. This pushes us to reconsider the underlying culture that might lead to this phenomenon. Instead of focusing too much on results or singing high praises for inborn talents, we should emphasize the learning process and continuous improvement. By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. Such a shift would not only reduce the pressures associated with the “Stanford Duck Syndrome”, but also have a profound impact on personal development and the future of education. 32．(2.5分)Which of the following is experiencing “Stanford Duck Syndrome”? A．Someone who thinks more of effort than well-being. B．Someone who reduces stress through social activities. C．Someone who shows graceful images to attract others. D．Someone who hides hard work to appear naturally gifted. 33．(2.5分)What can we learn about the experiment according to paragraph 3? A．It shows effort fuels the brain activity. B．It proves focus enhances brain function. C．It associates careful observation with talent. D．It links memory storage to abstract reasoning. 34．(2.5分)What is the author’s main concern about “Stanford Duck Syndrome”? A．It values the learning process over results. B．It causes stress and false ideas about success. C．It makes students focus too much on socializing. D．It prevents students from recognizing their talents. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following might the author agree with? A．Sweat is the ink that writes a masterpiece. B．Fortune favors those with high intelligence. C．Work in silence and let success make the noise. D．Talent plays a more critical role in success than effort. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．B 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“斯坦福鸭子综合征”，指一些学生在表面上表现得轻松自在，但实际上在背后付出了巨大的努力，这种努力隐藏的现象导致了压力和关于成功的错误观念。 【详解】32．推理判断题。由文章第一段“At top universities, there’s a phenomenon known as “Stanford Duck Syndrome (综合征)”. Like ducks, students appear to move gracefully (优雅地). However, beneath the surface, they’re kicking desperately to keep up. (在顶尖大学中，有一种被称为“斯坦福鸭子综合征”的现象。就像鸭子一样，学生们表面上看起来行动优雅。然而，在水面之下，他们正拼命划水以跟上节奏。)”和第二段中“Experts from Stanford’s Health Services uncovered this troubling trend: during the day, many Stanford students are seen socializing in cafés, seemingly without any stress or the need to study. However, at night, they start studying, sometimes for the entire night, trying to maintain the image of effortless success. (斯坦福大学健康服务的专家揭示了这一令人担忧的趋势：白天，许多斯坦福学生被看到在咖啡馆里社交，似乎没有任何压力或学习的需求。然而，到了晚上，他们开始学习，有时甚至通宵达旦，试图维持那种毫不费力的成功形象。)”可知，“斯坦福鸭子综合征”描述的是学生们表面上看起来轻松优雅，实际上却在背后拼命努力，以维持自己轻松成功的形象。即隐藏努力工作以显得天生聪明。故选D。 33．细节理解题。由文章第三段中“As the difficulty of the task increased, there was a noticeable increase in brain activity, particularly in areas linked to memory and abstract reasoning. (随着任务难度的增加，大脑活动明显增加，特别是在与记忆和抽象推理相关的区域。)”和第四段中“The study shows that as tasks require more effort, more areas of the brain become engaged. (这项研究表明，随着任务需要更多的努力，大脑更多的区域会变得活跃。)”可知，实验通过展示任务难度增加时，大脑活动特别是与记忆和抽象推理相关的区域活动明显增加，来挑战“天才轻松成功，努力者能力不足”的误解，证明了努力会激发大脑活动。故选A。 34．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“This comes at a high price: tiredness and anxiety are widespread. Furthermore, it leads to a common misconception: true talents achieve success with ease, while those working hard are less able. (但这代价高昂：疲惫与焦虑四处蔓延。此外，这还催生了一种普遍的错误认知：真正的天才轻轻松松就能获得成功，而埋头苦干之人反倒能力不足。)”可知，作者对“斯坦福鸭子综合征”的主要担忧是它导致学生产生对成功的错误观念，即认为真正的天才能够轻松取得成功，而努力工作的人则能力较差。故选B。 35．推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中“Growth doesn’t come from talent alone but from the consistent application of effort. Our brain functions like a muscle. Without effort, even our inborn talents will fade over time. (成长不仅仅来自天赋，还来自持续的努力。我们的大脑就像肌肉一样。如果不努力，即使我们天生的才能也会随着时间的推移而消退。)”和最后一段“By encouraging a culture that values effort, we can help students realize that intelligence is not fixed but grows through hard work. (通过鼓励一种重视努力的文化，我们可以帮助学生认识到智力不是固定的，而是可以通过努力工作得到发展的。)”可知，作者认为成长不仅来自天赋，还来自持续的努力，大脑就像肌肉一样，如果不努力，即使天生的才能也会随时间消退，鼓励重视努力的文化可以帮助学生意识到智力不是固定的，而是通过努力工作成长的。因此，作者可能会同意“汗水是书写杰作的墨水”这一观点，即努力是取得成功的关键。故选A。 （本题12.5分）In my latest book, The Success Factor, I outline the four mindsets found in extreme high achievers. Many people wonder what sets top performers apart from ordinary ones. 36(2.5分) Stay driven from inside I have found that scientists are not driven by such motivators: promotions, diplomas or awards. If they were, those I interviewed would have quit doing science after winning a Nobel Prize. Instead, many leading scientists are still doing research long after they qualify for retirement. 37(2.5分) They simply love the process of discovery itself. 38(2.5分) There are always challenges on the way to success. Most people easily give up when facing difficulties. However, the high achievers face them bravely and keep moving forward. Eventually, they fear not trying more than they fear failing. They work hard to “control what they can control”, and they don’t think over issues and challenges that are beyond their control. Keep making progress 39(2.5分) What worked for them early on in their careers is what they continue with later. The scientists who have won a Nobel Prize are still designing experiments and writing papers to further their careers. They refuse to stand still even with great honors. They stick to their effective methods and keep moving toward higher goals. Keep learning informally Despite their advanced degrees and praise, the high achievers made a point of continuing their learning by reading books, articles and blogs, watching videos and talking to others. They never think they have learned enough and always stay hungry for new knowledge. 40(2.5分) In this way, they keep their knowledge up-to-date and their creativity fresh. No one aims to be average in life. People want to succeed but often lack the understanding of how to achieve more. So learning from top scientists can guide us in our own life and work. A．Persist and never give up. B．Set up a strong foundation. C．This book provides clear and practical answers. D．High achievers do not rest on their achievements. E．Reading widely is the only way to gain rich knowledge. F．Their inner motivation keeps them devoted to their work.

As we grow up, we are constantly faced with various situations where we have to make choices. When meeting difficulties, I choose to face them bravely rather than escape, because only by overcoming challenges can we make progress. If opportunities arise, I will seize them without hesitation, for chances always favor the prepared mind. When it comes to life, I choose to follow my heart and pursue what truly matters to me. Through these experiences, I have come to realize that making choices is never easy, but it is an essential part of our growth. Even if we make wrong decisions sometimes, we should never give up or regret, because every choice teaches us something valuable. I sincerely hope that every one of us can learn to make wise choices and take full responsibility for our decisions. Let’s embrace every choice with courage and confidence!

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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【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.
