In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, ‘What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently?’”可知,Sheppard不愿离开公寓,主要是因为担心别人用异样的眼光看待她、区别对待她,即害怕被轻视。故选C。 2.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中“She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one.”可知,Sheppard给拐杖起了一个原本计划给儿子的名字,这体现出她将拐杖视为特殊的存在,而非普通工具。故选D。 3.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中“After that, she asked a Manhattan community centre run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students.”可知,社区中心最初拒绝Sheppard的请求是因为他们担心学生的安全。故选B。 4.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity and independence take root in them. In her classes, the students could truly be themselves.”可知,Sheppard的学生从她那里学到了自尊和自立。故选D。 Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述突破极限需直面阻力,可通过自我激励、挑战自我、每日坚持、寻求支持等方法实现成功。 1.G　由上文“If you desire a life of success, you must face the resistance and push yourself beyond the limits.”可知,此处强调突破极限的必要性,空格处需引出具体方法的总述,G项(如果你不这样做,你的目标和梦想将遥不可及。)符合语境,this指代前文face the resistance and push yourself beyond the limits,通过反面论证强化行动的重要性,引出下文建议。故选G。 2.A　由下文“Don’t wait for external motivation to make the first move. Discover your inner motivation!”可知,此段核心为激发内在动力,A项(自我激励。)符合语境,作为主旨句直接点明段落主题,与后文inner motivation形成呼应,引导读者聚焦自我激励的具体方式。故选A。 3.E　由上文“If you’re not challenging yourself to do bigger and better things regularly, you’re only working within what you already can do.”可知,此处指出不挑战自我的后果,E项(那只是原地踏步,没有取得任何真正的进步。)符合语境,that指代前文working within what you already can do,进一步阐释“不突破”等同于“停滞”,强化挑战自我的必要性。故选E。 4.D　由下文“That is, there is not a day that you don’t work on your big goals, at least a little bit.”可知,此处解释每日坚持的规则,D项(一个聪明的策略是遵循“无零日”规则。)符合语境,“No Zero Days”直接对应后文“每天至少努力一点”的具体做法,strategy总领该段关于持续行动的建议。故选D。 5.F　由上文“Find someone who supports you and encourages you to keep going.”可知,此处强调他人支持的重要性,空格处需说明支持的作用,F项(在面对挑战时,即使是小小的帮助也能产生巨大影响。)符合语境,small help呼应someone to support you,makes a big difference衔接后文“抵消消极思维”的论述,说明支持的实际意义。故选F。 Ⅵ.【文章大意】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了出生时患有罕见病的Benjamin Lou克服各种挑战进入麻省理工学院,成为一名计算机科学家,他还是残疾人权利的积极倡导者。 1.called　考查非谓语动词。动词call和rare genetic disorder之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用过去分词作后置定语,故填called。 2.completely　考查副词。空处应填副词形式,修饰形容词paralyzed,故填completely。 3.challenges　考查名词复数。challenge是可数名词,由空前的these可知,应用复数形式,故填challenges。 4.where　考查定语从句。分析句子可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Massachusetts Institute of Technology,关系词在从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导,故填where。 5.has become　考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据by now可知,句子用现在完成时,主语表示单数意义,故填has become。 6.awareness　考查名词。空处应填名词作动词raise的宾语,awareness意为“意识”,为不可数名词,故填awareness。 7.developing　考查非谓语动词。work on doing sth意为“致力于做某事”,故此处应用动名词形式,故填developing。 8.to　考查介词。in addition to意为“除了”,故填to。 9.to accept　考查非谓语动词。encourage sb to do sth意为“鼓励某人做某事”,故此处应用动词不定式,故填to accept。 10.a　考查冠词。society意为“社会”,用作可数名词,此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词,more的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2　Onwards and upwards Period One　Starting out & Understanding ideas ●Ⅰ 单句填空(每小题1.5分,满分12分) 1.The cruel 　　　　　　(criticize) from the reviewer left the author feeling deeply hurt and discouraged.  2.He 　　　　　　(rare) tells people off, preferring to resolve conflicts through open communication and understanding.  3.I wonder if you could also give me more 　　　　　　(inform) about how to apply to be part of this festival.  4.I am 　　　　　　(delight) to inform you that your application has been successful, and we are excited to welcome you to our team.  5.After receiving the letter of 　　　　　　(reject) from his dream college, John couldn’t help but wear a long face, feeling disappointed.  6.All his failure can come down to two reasons: carelessness and lack of 　　　　(persevere).   7.I began running around the track after school, one lap, then two, slowly increasing my 　　　　　　(endure).  8.The washing machine is still 　　　　　　guarantee, so the repair service is free of charge.  ●Ⅱ 短语填空(每小题2分,满分10分) 1.Though she went through a lot of ups and downs, she never 　　　　(放弃) hope and courage to carry on with what was left for her.  2.Despite being a fan of literature, Maria had to 　　　　　　(拒绝) the offer to join the book club because of her tight schedule.  3.The young athlete trains hard every day, 　　　　　　(梦想) the fame and glory that could come with winning a gold medal at the Olympics.  4.　　　　　　　 (以……为例) those volunteers; they have devoted a lot of time to helping the elderly in the community.  5.　　　　　　 (实际上), there have never been any formal academic restrictions on new borrowed words.  ●Ⅲ 句型训练(每小题3分,满分9分) 1.We waited at the bus stop 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.  我们在公交站一直等,直到雨停、太阳又出来。 2.Sometimes 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　to others and make the world a better place.(强调句)  有时候,正是小小的善举会对别人产生很大的影响,让世界变得更美好。 3.Then the girl placed her drawing board on her lap and began to sketch, 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　, her eyes shining with approval.

Since childhood, Sheppard had always been a keen dancer. But now she rarely left her Bronx apartment. She was afraid that, unable to see a stranger approaching, she would be knocked down on the streets. In fact, mostly, she worried about the way she would appear to the world. She wondered constantly, “What if people look at me differently, and treat me differently?” After several months of grief and fear, Sheppard resolved to keep moving. Hard as it was, Sheppard forced herself to go out. She attended a social event for people with visual problems, and was shocked to find that not only did no one dance, but they barely moved. “Oh no!” she told herself. “That is not the way I want to live!” She bought a walking stick and named it Tyreek, which she had always planned on giving a son if she had one. Sheppard continued to work at her library job at The New York Times until her vision worsened in her 50s. And she kept moving and dancing. Sheppard was 61 when she attended a summer camp for the blind in 2008, where she taught her first line dancing class. After that, she asked a Manhattan community centre run by Visions if she could teach her class there, but she was told no and that it would be too dangerous for the students. Still, she persisted, and soon convinced the administrators to let her teach line dancing on a volunteer basis. Her classes proved to be so popular that in 2012, Visions hired her to be on staff. Sheppard was excited. She was teaching over a dozen students dance steps. But Sheppard instructed her beloved students on far more than that. With constant encouragement, she also managed to make dignity and independence take root in them. In her classes, the students could truly be themselves.

You will face great resistance when attempting to break through the limits. It could be fear, lack of confidence, physical disabilities, and mental blocks. If you desire a life of success, you must face the resistance and push yourself beyond the limits. 1.　　　　 Here are tips for you to succeed.  2.　　　　 Don’t wait for external motivation to make the first move. Discover your inner motivation! It could be a motivational video, articles, TED Talks, or quotes. Ensure it is something that fills you with passion and drive to get things done. Inspiration can push you forward.  Take on a little more than you think you can. Pushing past your limits means taking on newer, harder challenges. If you’re not challenging yourself to do bigger and better things regularly, you’re only working within what you already can do. 3.　　　  Work on your goals a little each day. Chances are great that you need to build your empire brick by brick. That takes time and regular effort. 4.　　　　 That is, there is not a day that you don’t work on your big goals, at least a little bit. It can be fifteen minutes dedicated to doing one small thing that will get you closer to that big thing you want to accomplish.  Find someone who supports you and encourages you to keep going. 5.　　　　 Having someone to support you can balance out the impact of any negative thinking that may limit you. It could be a life coach, friend, parent, or your wife or husband. They can help you make the push you need to get out of your comfort zone.  A.Motivate yourself. B.Find what truly excites you. C.Progress comes step by step. D.A smart strategy is to follow the “No Zero Days” rule. E.That’s just standing still without making any real progress.

G.If you don’t do this, your goals and dreams will remain out of reach. ●Ⅵ 语法填空 (每小题1.5分,满分15分) [2026·内蒙古包头第一中学高二期中] Benjamin Lou is a computer scientist and an advocate who was born with a rare genetic disorder 1.　　　　　　 (call) spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which affects the muscles used for moving the body.
