Thomas Edison was one of the greatest inventors in history. He had over 1,000 patents (专利) for his inventions. But he didn’t always get it right at first. When Edison was trying to invent the electric light bulb, he failed thousands of times. Once, a reporter asked him, “How do you feel after failing so many times?” Edison smiled and said, “I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Edison’s success came from his curiosity (好奇心) and hard work. He loved to ask questions and explore new things. He also believed that creativity was not just for geniuses (天才). “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration,” he said. Edison’s inventions changed the world. His electric light bulb brought light to people’s homes. His phonograph (留声机) allowed people to listen to music anytime.

Derek Redmond’s Olympic Moment The 1992 Barcelona Olympics will always be remembered for many great moments, but few are as touching as the story of Derek Redmond, a British 400-metre runner. On 3 August 1992, Derek stood at the starting line of the men’s 400m semi-final. He had trained for six years for this moment. As the race began, he felt confident. But halfway through, disaster struck — a sharp pain shot through his right hamstring. He collapsed to the track, crying out in agony. The medical team rushed to his side. “My career is over,” Derek whispered, tears streaming down his face. The doctors advised him to withdraw, but Derek had other ideas. He stood up, his leg trembling with pain, and began to limp towards the finish line. The crowd fell silent, then erupted into applause. Derek’s father, Jim Redmond, ran from the stands onto the track to support his son. Together, they walked the final 100 metres, with Derek leaning on his father’s shoulder. When they finally crossed the finish line, the entire stadium rose to their feet in a standing ovation. Derek never won an Olympic medal, but he won something far more precious—the hearts of millions.

Is it their achievements, their character, or something else? In our daily lives, we often hear stories of great scientists, explorers, and leaders. But inspiring people are not always famous. Sometimes, they are ordinary people who do extraordinary (不平凡的) things. One such person is Zhang Guimei, a teacher from Yunnan Province. For over 40 years, she has devoted her life to educating girls from poor mountainous areas. She founded the first free high school for girls in China, giving thousands of girls the chance to receive an education. Many of her students have gone on to become doctors, teachers, and lawyers. What makes Zhang Guimei inspiring is not just what she has achieved, but her spirit. Despite suffering from many health problems, she never stops working. Every morning, she wakes up at 5 a.m. to turn on the lights in the school. She walks with a stick because of her illness, but she still climbs the stairs to check on her students. She often says, “A girl can change the fate (命运) of three generations (三代人).” Zhang Guimei’s story reminds us that inspiration can come from anyone. You don’t need to be a famous scientist or a great explorer to make a difference.

When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to write reports to his king. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some rabbits on the horseback. One rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie (绑) the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?” Then he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth (光滑的) to write well. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up and kept trying. A few rainy days later, he found his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up. The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water cleaned the oil from the hair.

After she qualified for the next round of the women’s 500m event, she cried in the interview. “I have been training in short track speed skating for over 20 years. I got up at 4 a.m. every day for training, and spent months recovering from injuries. The gold medal is a goal, but what matters more is what this sport has taught me: how to face failure and stand up again,” she said. 35-year-old Italian skater Arianna Fontana competed in her sixth Winter Olympics. Although she didn’t win a gold medal in the women’s 500m event, the audience gave her warm applause. “The most precious thing is not the medal, but my family cheering for me in the stands, and my teammates going through all the difficulties with me,” she said. 40-year-old Austrian snowboarder Benjamin Karl won the gold medal in the men’s parallel giant slalom, becoming the oldest snowboarding champion in Winter Olympics history. “Age is just a number.

He beat Welsh star Mark Williams 18-12 in the World Snooker Championship final. This was China’s first world champion in snooker ever! Before this, British players had won for 98 years, but now that long record was broken. Zhao’s path to success was full of stories. In 2023, he had to stop playing for 20 months because people said he did something wrong in a match. But in September 2024, he came back. He started from the early qualifying games (资格赛) and played nine matches. He won 111 frames (parts of a snooker game)! In one game, he even beat seven-time champion Ronnie O’Sullivan 17-7. Zhao played bravely, and his skills got much better. He could make long shots right 80% of the time and scored 18 century breaks which is the same as Ding Junhui’s record in 2016! The final against 50-year-old Williams was very exciting. Williams was the oldest player to reach the final. Zhao was ahead 17-8, but Williams tried hard and won four frames one after another. Then, in the 30th frame, Zhao stayed calm and made an 87-point break to win the game. “It’s like a dream,” Zhao said. When he got the trophy (奖杯), he held the Chinese flag high. Ding Junhui, China’s snooker leader who once got second place in 2016, said, “He did what Chinese players have hoped for many years.” This win is like when Yao Ming made basketball popular in China. Zhao’s story is about getting back up after falling. Even O’Sullivan said, “He’s like Federer in snooker — and we haven’t seen all he can do yet!” This win changes snooker history. It shows that if you never give up, you can turn problems into great success. 1．What did Zhao Xintong achieve in the World Snooker Championship? A．Got the highest score. B．Became a youngest player. C．Broke a 50-year record.

The answers to these questions can be found in US President Barack Obama’s “Back to School” speech. Here is an excerpt (摘录) from his speech. I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things. But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try. That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” These people succeeded because they comprehend that you can’t let your failures beat you—you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time. No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit (承认) when you don’t know something, and to learn something new. And even when you are struggling (奋斗), even when you are discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you—you don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country. 1．Who gave the “Back to School” speech? A．Alexander Graham Bell. B．Barack Obama. C．Michael Jordan. D．JK Rowling. 2．Why does Barack Obama mention JK Rowling and Michael Jordan? A．To show that failure is the mother of success. B．To explain that writing and sports are difficult skills. C．To describe that the two persons were treated unfairly. D．To compare these two famous persons. 3．Which of the following does the writer probably disagree with? A．No one can be successful without working hard. B．Failure can be good if you treat it in the right way. C．One should try his best to make his dream come true. D．Those who believe in themselves shouldn’t ask others for help. 4．Which word is close to the underlined word “comprehend”? A．Understand. B．Repeat. C．Suggest. D．Expect. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．American People Never Give Up B．Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions C．JK Rowling Achieved Great Success D．Never Giving up Is the Secret to Success Recently, Michaela Benthaus, a 33-year-old German engineer, made history as the first wheelchair user to travel to space. Her dream-come-true journey took her beyond (在……之上) the clouds along with five other passengers, showing the world that anything is possible. Seven years ago, a mountain bike accident changed Michaela’s life. She lost the ability to walk, but she never lost her dream of seeing the stars. Thanks to a company called Blue Origin, her dream finally came true. As the rocket soared (升空) 105 km high, Michaela left her wheelchair on the ground. For the first time, she felt weightless. Inside the capsule (太空舱), she laughed with joy and even tried to turn upside down while looking at the Earth from above. “It was the coolest experience,” she said happily after landing. The 10-minute flight took place in a special capsule called New Shepard. The company designed it to be accessible (可使用的) for everyone. To help Michaela, the company added a special board so she could move from the door to her seat. At the launch pad (发射台), a lift carried her to the top of the rocket. Before this flight, Michaela believed space was only for “super healthy” people. She hoped her trip would prove to the world that people with disabilities belong in space, too. “I hope I’m only the start,” she said. When the capsule returned, her wheelchair was waiting for her. “You should never give up on your dreams,” Michaela said. 1．What record did Michaela make?

Once, a reporter asked him, “How do you feel after failing so many times?” Edison smiled and said, “I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Edison’s success came from his curiosity (好奇心) and hard work. He loved to ask questions and explore new things. He also believed that creativity was not just for geniuses (天才). “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration,” he said. Edison’s inventions changed the world. His electric light bulb brought light to people’s homes. His phonograph (留声机) allowed people to listen to music anytime. He showed that anyone can be creative if they keep trying and never give up. 1．How many patents did Edison have? A．Over 100. B．Over 1,000. C．Over 10,000.

I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”可知，他把失败看作是排除错误、学习的过程，而不是沮丧或放弃。 3． 根据文章第三段名言“Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.”，天才是百分之一的灵感加百分之九十九的汗水，perspiration意为“汗水”，在此比喻辛勤的努力。 4． 根据文章第四段提到的“His electric light bulb...”和“His phonograph...”可知，电灯泡和留声机是爱迪生的发明。电脑（Computer）文中未提及且历史上也不是爱迪生发明的。 5． 通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了爱迪生经历无数次失败后最终成功的故事，强调了坚持和努力的重要性，所以从他的故事中我们能学到“失败是成功之母”这一道理，其余三个选项均与文章内容相反。 Derek Redmond’s Olympic Moment The 1992 Barcelona Olympics will always be remembered for many great moments, but few are as touching as the story of Derek Redmond, a British 400-metre runner. On 3 August 1992, Derek stood at the starting line of the men’s 400m semi-final. He had trained for six years for this moment. As the race began, he felt confident. But halfway through, disaster struck — a sharp pain shot through his right hamstring. He collapsed to the track, crying out in agony. The medical team rushed to his side. “My career is over,” Derek whispered, tears streaming down his face. The doctors advised him to withdraw, but Derek had other ideas. He stood up, his leg trembling with pain, and began to limp towards the finish line. The crowd fell silent, then erupted into applause. Derek’s father, Jim Redmond, ran from the stands onto the track to support his son. Together, they walked the final 100 metres, with Derek leaning on his father’s shoulder. When they finally crossed the finish line, the entire stadium rose to their feet in a standing ovation. Derek never won an Olympic medal, but he won something far more precious—the hearts of millions.

Is it their achievements, their character, or something else? In our daily lives, we often hear stories of great scientists, explorers, and leaders. But inspiring people are not always famous. Sometimes, they are ordinary people who do extraordinary (不平凡的) things. One such person is Zhang Guimei, a teacher from Yunnan Province.

She founded the first free high school for girls in China, giving thousands of girls the chance to receive an education. Many of her students have gone on to become doctors, teachers, and lawyers. What makes Zhang Guimei inspiring is not just what she has achieved, but her spirit. Despite suffering from many health problems, she never stops working. Every morning, she wakes up at 5 a.m. to turn on the lights in the school. She walks with a stick because of her illness, but she still climbs the stairs to check on her students. She often says, “A girl can change the fate (命运) of three generations (三代人).” Zhang Guimei’s story reminds us that inspiration can come from anyone.

When Meng was leading an army to fight against the Kingdom of Chu, he had to write reports to his king. But his pen was too hard and caused him much trouble, so he was thinking of ways to improve it. One day after hunting, Meng made his way home with some rabbits on the horseback. One rabbit’s tail left a long trail (痕迹) on the ground. Suddenly a good idea came to his mind when he saw it, “If I tie (绑) the rabbit’s hair to a stick, would it be easy to write with?” Then he tied the rabbit’s hair to a stick and tried writing with it. But the rabbit’s hair was too smooth (光滑的) to write well. Meng was so disappointed that he threw away his “invention” into a stone hole in the yard. However, Meng never gave up and kept trying. A few rainy days later, he found his “invention” fatter in a stone hole. He picked it up. The brush worked beautifully on silk. It turned out that the special water cleaned the oil from the hair.

He beat Welsh star Mark Williams 18-12 in the World Snooker Championship final. This was China’s first world champion in snooker ever! Before this, British players had won for 98 years, but now that long record was broken. Zhao’s path to success was full of stories. In 2023, he had to stop playing for 20 months because people said he did something wrong in a match. But in September 2024, he came back. He started from the early qualifying games (资格赛) and played nine matches. He won 111 frames (parts of a snooker game)! In one game, he even beat seven-time champion Ronnie O’Sullivan 17-7. Zhao played bravely, and his skills got much better. He could make long shots right 80% of the time and scored 18 century breaks which is the same as Ding Junhui’s record in 2016! The final against 50-year-old Williams was very exciting. Williams was the oldest player to reach the final. Zhao was ahead 17-8, but Williams tried hard and won four frames one after another. Then, in the 30th frame, Zhao stayed calm and made an 87-point break to win the game. “It’s like a dream,” Zhao said. When he got the trophy (奖杯), he held the Chinese flag high. Ding Junhui, China’s snooker leader who once got second place in 2016, said, “He did what Chinese players have hoped for many years.” This win is like when Yao Ming made basketball popular in China. Zhao’s story is about getting back up after falling. Even O’Sullivan said, “He’s like Federer in snooker — and we haven’t seen all he can do yet!” This win changes snooker history. It shows that if you never give up, you can turn problems into great success. 1．What did Zhao Xintong achieve in the World Snooker Championship? A．Got the highest score. B．Became a youngest player.

The answers to these questions can be found in US President Barack Obama’s “Back to School” speech. Here is an excerpt (摘录) from his speech. I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things. But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try. That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” These people succeeded because they comprehend that you can’t let your failures beat you—you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time. No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit (承认) when you don’t know something, and to learn something new. And even when you are struggling (奋斗), even when you are discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you—you don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country. 1．Who gave the “Back to School” speech? A．Alexander Graham Bell. B．Barack Obama. C．Michael Jordan. D．JK Rowling. 2．Why does Barack Obama mention JK Rowling and Michael Jordan? A．To show that failure is the mother of success. B．To explain that writing and sports are difficult skills. C．To describe that the two persons were treated unfairly. D．To compare these two famous persons. 3．Which of the following does the writer probably disagree with? A．No one can be successful without working hard. B．Failure can be good if you treat it in the right way. C．One should try his best to make his dream come true. D．Those who believe in themselves shouldn’t ask others for help. 4．Which word is close to the underlined word “comprehend”? A．Understand. B．Repeat. C．Suggest. D．Expect. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．American People Never Give Up B．Don’t Be Afraid to Ask Questions C．JK Rowling Achieved Great Success D．Never Giving up Is the Secret to Success 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马在“重返校园”演讲中分享的成功秘诀。成功的秘诀在于不放弃，并从失败中学习。 1．细节理解题。 根据“The answers to these questions can be found in US President Barack Obama’s ‘Back to School’ speech.”可知，这篇演讲是美国总统巴拉克·奥巴马发表的。故选B。 2．推理判断题。 根据“Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures.”以及后文提到的JK罗琳和迈克尔·乔丹的例子可知，奥巴马提到他们是为了说明失败是成功之母。故选A。 3．观点态度题。 根据“Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of strength.”可知，作者认为寻求帮助是力量的象征，因此作者不会同意“相信自己的人不应该向他人寻求帮助”这一观点。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。 根据划线词“comprehend”所在的句子“These people succeeded because they comprehend that you can’t let your failures beat you”可知，comprehend的意思是“理解”。A选项“Understand”表示“理解”。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。 通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了成功的秘诀在于不放弃，并从失败中学习。因此最佳标题是D选项“永不放弃是成功的秘诀”。故选D。 Recently, Michaela Benthaus, a 33-year-old German engineer, made history as the first wheelchair user to travel to space. Her dream-come-true journey took her beyond (在……之上) the clouds along with five other passengers, showing the world that anything is possible. Seven years ago, a mountain bike accident changed Michaela’s life. She lost the ability to walk, but she never lost her dream of seeing the stars. Thanks to a company called Blue Origin, her dream finally came true. As the rocket soared (升空) 105 km high, Michaela left her wheelchair on the ground. For the first time, she felt weightless. Inside the capsule (太空舱), she laughed with joy and even tried to turn upside down while looking at the Earth from above. “It was the coolest experience,” she said happily after landing. The 10-minute flight took place in a special capsule called New Shepard. The company designed it to be accessible (可使用的) for everyone. To help Michaela, the company added a special board so she could move from the door to her seat. At the launch pad (发射台), a lift carried her to the top of the rocket. Before this flight, Michaela believed space was only for “super healthy” people. She hoped her trip would prove to the world that people with disabilities belong in space, too. “I hope I’m only the start,” she said. When the capsule returned, her wheelchair was waiting for her. “You should never give up on your dreams,” Michaela said. 1．What record did Michaela make?
