B When Preeti Maske took up cycling at the age of 40, she had no idea a new hobby would turn into a passion, and then a profession with five Guinness World Records. A surprise first-place victory in a five-km fun run at her children’s school was what first fueled Maske’s adventurous side. In school, Maske played national-level hockey (曲棍球) and basketball at a state level, but after marriage and motherhood, sports were firmly in her past. However, the podium (领奖台) finish at her children’s school refreshed her competitive spirit.“Many women in their 40s feel like their dreams have been crashed,”says the mother of two.“Maybe I felt this more keenly and it showed.” It was a cycling organization from Kashmir to Kanyakumari—down the length of the country—that made Maske take up cycling seriously. She kept improving and training, but being one of the few women in the group came with its own challenges.“Keeping up with male riders was tough,”she says.“I was slower, but when I caught up with them, whenever they said,‘let’s go’, I would say,‘let’s go’— even though they had been resting for a while.”Among her cycling partners, Maske is known never to complain — even pushing herself after a fall or an accident. Maske set her first Guinness world record in 2022, cycling from Manali to Leh, in 55 hours and seven minutes. Her latest cycling milestone took her from Bhutan to India through Nepal, a journey of 1,803 km in 10 days, 18 hours and 40 minutes. As for what’s next, Maske has her eyes set on cycling from India to Singapore via Myanmar. Picking up on this persistent desire to challenge herself, she got the nickname“the extreme lady”from her daughter. Maske’s plans make it clear she’s bent on proving her daughter right. 1．What first motivated Preeti Maske’s spirit of adventure? A.Passion for cycling. B.Desire for a profession. C.Aim for world records. D.Winning in a fun run. 2．What can we infer about Maske’s life before marriage? A．She was only focused on cycling. B．She taught her children at home. C．She was highly involved in sports. D．She had no interest in any competition. 3．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.Her difficulties and attitude. B.Her training methods. C.Her cycling records. D.Her cycling peers. 4．Why does the author mention Maske’s plan? A.To show her pursuit of challenges. B.To tell the achieved goals in India. C.To break more records in cycling. D.To prove her daughter’s wrong idea. C Growing up in Norway, I had heard a lot about polar exploration. As a child, I spent a lot of time outdoors building bonfires (篝火), camping and skiing in the mountains. Aged 14, seven years before my South Pole expedition, I set my sights on becoming the youngest woman to ski across Greenland. At that age, several guiding companies were unwilling to take me on because I was so young. Then I met Lars Ebbesen, an experienced polar guide. Straight away, I felt he respected my ambitions. But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first—a county in northern Norway—to prove I was capable. It was dark and cold but I fell in love with the challenge. That experience prepared me for Greenland, where the crossing took 28 days due to terrible weather. It was on my 15th birthday that I decided to go to Antarctica. I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic. My dad and I contacted Lars to work out the details of the trip. When I told my mum, she realized I had already made up my mind and agreed. When I began the expedition last November, I was 21. On the expedition, I was surprised that there was so much snowfall. On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe. When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg. Though with everything I’ve experienced, I feel much older than that. 1．Why did the author go on the Finnmark journey? A．To show her abilities. B．To escape her everyday life. C．To explore a remote area. D．To meet an experienced team. 2．What does the underlined word “pragmatic” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Flexible. B．Realistic. C．Athletic. D．Accessible. 3．What can we infer about the author during her South Pole expedition? A．She braved the physical challenges. B．She enjoyed the landscape most. C．She gained several survival skills. D．She adapted to the environment soon. 4．What did the author intend to communicate by sending Lars the emoji? A．She was ready for a new task. B．She made his expectations come true. C．She was worthy of what she achieved. D．She did more than he believed possible. D Life can be overwhelming, and you’re not alone if you’re struggling. 65% of adults in the United States reported feeling stressed due to current circumstances. This means two-thirds of adults are uncertain about their lives and futures. You may wonder why everything feels so hard. Perhaps you’re comparing yourself to others who don’t seem to be experiencing the same level of stress. However, everyone’s journey is different. Your peers may be facing challenges privately or might be in a different stage of life. It’s best to focus on your own progress rather than comparing yourself to others. Personal challenges also impact how hard life feels. Family issues such as problematic relationships can lead to feelings of loneliness, shame, and envy when you see others with strong familial support. Interpersonal issues such as navigating a break-up or losing a loved one can also make life feel harder. Feeling socially isolated can contribute to a sense of loneliness, which can badly affect health, leading to poor sleep and other issues. Psychological and physical pain further complicates life’s challenges. It’s essential to acknowledge how society factors contribute to these feelings. We’re facing economic disorder, which can be traumatic and make life feel more difficult, Licensed therapist (心理治疗师) Alegria Louise Demeestere emphasizes the importance of looking at systemic causes rather than blaming individuals. Understanding why life feels hard is the first step. When feeling this way, it’s common to feel angry or upset.“Your feeling is trying to tell you something,”says Demeestere. Being curious about your feeling can prevent you from taking it out on others or numbing it through addictions. Facing the feeling directly can use its energy to push you forward past difficulties. 1．Why should we focus on our own progress? A．It is the key to success. B．It helps to reduce anxiety completely. C．Everyone’s journey is different. D．Everyone’s demand is uneven. 2．What can cause feelings of loneliness, shame and jealousy? A．Family matters. B．Interpersonal issues. C．Psychological pain. D．Economic disorder. 3．What’s the meaning of the underlined word“traumatic”in paragraph 4? A．Painful. B．Unexpected. C．Cheerful. D．Memorable. 4．What is mainly emphasized in the last paragraph? A．Living a creative life. B．Looking at systemic causes. C．Seeking out extra support. D．Understanding why life feels hard. E Doing something challenging takes courage, commitment and willpower. 1 ! Whether it’s finding your dream job, learning a new skill or starting a new wellness routine, you’ll grow and learn along the way. So, step outside of your comfort zone and face the challenge. You’ll learn lessons that can transform your life. It builds your resilience (适应力). When you face something difficult, you can build your resilience. Resilience isn’t just a fixed quality that you’re born with. 2 . The key: set small, attainable goals that push you a little outside of your comfort zone but still within reach. You’ll gradually see progress and maintain motivation as you work toward self-improvement. 3____________ . You may not realize how incredible you are until you overcome something difficult. Dealing with a challenge shows your strengths, maybe some you didn’t even know that you had! This self-awareness helps develop a sense of purpose. It also helps improve performance and leads to better decision-making. It teaches you self-confidence. Completing a challenge shows you do have the capability to succeed. In other words, when things get difficult, you have the strength to continue forward, giving you a newfound sense of self-worth. 4 . It helps you learn new skills. If you want to improve your fitness, you challenge your body to become stronger, right? 5 ! Challenging yourself helps you learn new skills that you improve over time with commitment and practice. So find a goal that you feel crazy about. You’ll expand your mind as you learn new information and experience new situations. A．But it’s well worth it B．It develops self-awareness C．It helps you manage stress D．You can also train yourself to become resilient E．That same approach applies to just about anything F．You’ll experience a bad meal in an unfamiliar place G．You’ll carry that confidence as you face future challenges 二、完形填空 During the summer of 2019, I cycled alone from London to Istanbul.

The accident left him with burns to 70% of his body. Despite being very young when he suffered his burns, Kenny can still remember the day of the accident. He was playing with his toys and watching TV on the floor in the living room while his grandfather was sleeping on the living room couch. All of a sudden, he heard a sudden noise from the window and that was when the window caught fire. He had no idea what caused the window to burst like that, but all he remembered was the apartment filling up with gas and smoke from the fire. He could do nothing but panic . His grandfather, who had been asleep, woke up because of the smoke. He tried to save Kenny’s life, but he couldn’t really do much because he was weak. Picking Kenny up under his arms, he carried him over the window — unfortunately, that’s how Kenny got burnt by the fire. Kenny and his grandfather were rushed to the hospital. His grandfather whose arms were badly burned, was hospitalized for a while and then discharged (出院). Kenny went through numerous surgeries over the next few decades, which he described as a very painful journey. Now, after having been through so much over the years, Kenny’s treatment is finally done. The 36-year-old man has shared online how his burns and scars (伤疤) have affected his life as an adult. “People don’t really care about personality — they just want somebody to look good or attractive physically, and honestly, I don’t fit that description,” Kenny says. There was a guy who once said to him. “It is hard to feel attracted to someone like you because of your scars and burns.” Kenny understands it’s not their fault. He’s smart enough to know not every person is the same, even though he’s not actively looking for a partner. 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。 Kenny now has 2.4 million followers on the Internet.__________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ People always ask him how he remains positive.______________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 选择性必修三 Unit 4 Adversity and Courage（教师版） Part One 基础知识 一、用本单元单词的适当形式填空 1.

There, a lot of wildebeest, zebras and other antelopes get together and start on a dangerous trip to find better grass.(在旅途中，人们将穿越著名的马赛马拉国家保护区。在那里，大量的角马、斑马和其他羚羊聚集在一起，开始一段寻找更好草地的危险旅程)”可知，在该冒险活动中，游客可以看到很多物种。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据The Great Monarch Butterfly Migration (帝王蝶大迁徙): Mexico部分中“On 14 January, 2025, a journey that lasts for six days starts.(2025年1月14日，一次为期六天的旅程将开始)”、Yellowstone Wolf and Wildlife Winter Safari: US部分中“This adventure starts on 8 February, 2025 and ends on 15 February.(这次冒险将于2025年2月8日开始，并于2月15日结束)”、The Great Wildebeest (牛羚) Migration: Kenya部分中“On 5 August, 2025, this 6-day adventure starts.(2025年8月5日，这次为期六天的冒险将开始)”及Churchill Polar Bear Exploration: Canada部分中“Although the adventure goes on for only ten days, it will leave a deep impression on everyone who takes part in it.(尽管这次冒险仅持续十天，但它会给每一位参与者留下深刻的印象)”可知，The Great Monarch Butterfly Migration (帝王蝶大迁徙): Mexico为期6天；Yellowstone Wolf and Wildlife Winter Safari: US为期8天；The Great Wildebeest (牛羚) Migration: Kenya为期6天；Churchill Polar Bear Exploration: Canada为期10天。所以持续时间最长的是Churchill Polar Bear Exploration: Canada。故选D。 B When Preeti Maske took up cycling at the age of 40, she had no idea a new hobby would turn into a passion, and then a profession with five Guinness World Records. A surprise first-place victory in a five-km fun run at her children’s school was what first fueled Maske’s adventurous side. In school, Maske played national-level hockey (曲棍球) and basketball at a state level, but after marriage and motherhood, sports were firmly in her past. However, the podium (领奖台) finish at her children’s school refreshed her competitive spirit.“Many women in their 40s feel like their dreams have been crashed,”says the mother of two.“Maybe I felt this more keenly and it showed.” It was a cycling organization from Kashmir to Kanyakumari—down the length of the country—that made Maske take up cycling seriously. She kept improving and training, but being one of the few women in the group came with its own challenges.“Keeping up with male riders was tough,”she says.“I was slower, but when I caught up with them, whenever they said,‘let’s go’, I would say,‘let’s go’— even though they had been resting for a while.”Among her cycling partners, Maske is known never to complain — even pushing herself after a fall or an accident. Maske set her first Guinness world record in 2022, cycling from Manali to Leh, in 55 hours and seven minutes. Her latest cycling milestone took her from Bhutan to India through Nepal, a journey of 1,803 km in 10 days, 18 hours and 40 minutes. As for what’s next, Maske has her eyes set on cycling from India to Singapore via Myanmar. Picking up on this persistent desire to challenge herself, she got the nickname“the extreme lady”from her daughter. Maske’s plans make it clear she’s bent on proving her daughter right. 1．What first motivated Preeti Maske’s spirit of adventure? A.Passion for cycling. B.Desire for a profession. C.Aim for world records. D.Winning in a fun run. 2．What can we infer about Maske’s life before marriage? A．She was only focused on cycling. B．She taught her children at home. C．She was highly involved in sports. D．She had no interest in any competition. 3．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.Her difficulties and attitude. B.Her training methods. C.Her cycling records. D.Her cycling peers. 4．Why does the author mention Maske’s plan? A.To show her pursuit of challenges. B.To tell the achieved goals in India. C.To break more records in cycling. D.To prove her daughter’s wrong idea. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章介绍了Preeti Maske在40岁时开启骑行路，创造了多项吉尼斯世界纪录，欲从印度经缅甸骑往新加坡，女儿称其为“极限女士”，她以行动证明此名不虚。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A surprise first-place victory in a five-km fun run at her children’s school was what first fuelled Maske’s adventurous side.(在她孩子的学校举行的5公里趣味赛跑中，她意外获得第一名，这首先激发了她冒险的一面)”可知，在她孩子们学校的五千米趣味跑中意外获得第一名，这首次激发了Preeti Maske的冒险精神。所以D 选项正确。文章提到她最初开始骑自行车的时候只是当作一个新爱好，并不是一开始就有对骑自行车的热情，所以A选项不符合；文中没有提及想要把骑自行车当作一个职业的欲望促使她开始认真骑车，她是在后来才将爱好转变为职业的，所以B选项错误；她开始骑自行车的时候没有以打破世界纪录为目标，这是在她后来骑车过程中逐渐达成的成就，不是最初促使她认真骑车的原因，所以C选项也不对。故选D。 2．推理判断题。文章第二段“In school, Maske played national-level hockey (曲棍球) and basketball at a state level, but after marriage and motherhood, sports were firmly in her past.(在学校里，她打过国家级的冰球和国家级的篮球，但在结婚生子后，她坚定地放弃了体育运动)”提到在学校时，Preeti Maske参加国家级曲棍球比赛和州级篮球比赛，这说明在婚前她大量参与体育运动。所以C选项正确。A选项，婚前她参与多种运动并非仅专注于自行车；B选项，婚前还未生育，不可能在家里教孩子；D选项，参加比赛说明她对竞争有兴趣。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“She kept improving and training, but being one of the few women in the group came with its own challenges. “Keeping up with male riders was tough,” she says. “I was slower, but when I caught up with them, whenever they said, ‘let’s go’, I would say, ‘let’s go’ — even though they had been resting for a while.” Among her cycling partners, Maske is known never to complain — even pushing herself after a fall or an accident.(她一直在进步和训练，但作为小组中为数不多的女性之一，她也面临着挑战。她说：“跟上男骑手的步伐很难。”“我跑得比较慢，但是当我赶上他们的时候，每当他们说‘我们走’的时候，我就会说‘我们走’——即使他们已经休息了一会儿。”在她的自行车伙伴中，大家都知道她从不抱怨——即使在摔倒或发生事故后也会强迫自己)”可知，该段着重描述了Preeti Maske和男性骑行者一起骑行时面临的困难，比如很难跟上他们的速度，因为她速度较慢，不过她有着积极的态度，即便面对这些难题也从不抱怨。第三段主要聚焦在她所遇到的困难以及对待困难的态度上，所以选项A正确。故选A。 4．推理判断题。作者在文章最后一段中“As for what’s next, Maske has her eyes set on cycling from India to Singapore via Myanmar. Picking up on this persistent desire to challenge herself, she got the nickname “the extreme lady” from her daughter. Maske’s plans make it clear she’s bent on proving her daughter right.(至于接下来要做什么，她的目标是从印度骑自行车，途经缅甸到新加坡。继承了这种不断挑战自我的愿望，她从女儿那里得到了“极限女士”的绰号。Maske的计划表明，她决心证明女儿是对的)”提及她未来的骑行计划，是为了凸显她一直有着挑战自我的强烈愿望，并且一心想要证明女儿给她取的“极限女士”的昵称是名副其实的，也就是通过不断接受新的、有难度的挑战来展现她的决心和对新挑战的渴望，所以选项A正确。故选A。 C Growing up in Norway, I had heard a lot about polar exploration. As a child, I spent a lot of time outdoors building bonfires (篝火), camping and skiing in the mountains. Aged 14, seven years before my South Pole expedition, I set my sights on becoming the youngest woman to ski across Greenland. At that age, several guiding companies were unwilling to take me on because I was so young. Then I met Lars Ebbesen, an experienced polar guide. Straight away, I felt he respected my ambitions. But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first—a county in northern Norway—to prove I was capable. It was dark and cold but I fell in love with the challenge. That experience prepared me for Greenland, where the crossing took 28 days due to terrible weather. It was on my 15th birthday that I decided to go to Antarctica. I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic. My dad and I contacted Lars to work out the details of the trip. When I told my mum, she realized I had already made up my mind and agreed. When I began the expedition last November, I was 21. On the expedition, I was surprised that there was so much snowfall. On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe. When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg. Though with everything I’ve experienced, I feel much older than that. 1．Why did the author go on the Finnmark journey? A．To show her abilities. B．To escape her everyday life. C．To explore a remote area. D．To meet an experienced team. 2．What does the underlined word “pragmatic” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Flexible. B．Realistic. C．Athletic. D．Accessible. 3．What can we infer about the author during her South Pole expedition? A．She braved the physical challenges. B．She enjoyed the landscape most. C．She gained several survival skills. D．She adapted to the environment soon. 4．What did the author intend to communicate by sending Lars the emoji? A．She was ready for a new task. B．She made his expectations come true. C．She was worthy of what she achieved. D．She did more than he believed possible. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者从小热爱极地探险，14岁时为滑雪穿越格陵兰岛做准备，15岁决定前往南极洲，21岁踏上南极探险之旅的经历，展现了她追求梦想、勇敢挑战的精神。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But I had to go on an expedition to Finnmark first—a county in northern Norway—to prove I was capable.(但我必须先去挪威北部的芬马克郡进行一次探险，以证明我有能力)”可知，作者去芬马克郡旅行是为了展示自己的能力。故选A项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“I didn’t tell my mum about my plans at first. I just told my dad, who is like me, a big dreamer. My mum is more pragmatic.(起初我没有告诉妈妈我的计划。我只告诉了爸爸，他和我一样，是个充满梦想的人。我妈妈更……)”，通过对比爸爸充满梦想，可推测妈妈更加现实，所以“pragmatic”意思是“现实的”。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“On the hardest days, I was in fresh snow up to my knees and could only go 9.5km in 10 hours. Towards the end, my lungs were painful, and I struggled to breathe.(在最艰难的日子里，我深陷齐膝深的新雪中，10个小时只能前进9.5公里。快到终点时，我的肺部疼痛，呼吸困难)”可知，作者在南极探险期间勇敢地应对了身体上的挑战。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“When I crossed Greenland, Lars nicknamed me “the polar egg”. The idea was that one day I would hatch (破壳) and do a bigger expedition on my own. When I reached the South Pole I sent him an emoji (表情符号) of a chick breaking out of an egg.(当我穿越格陵兰岛时，拉尔斯给我起了个绰号叫“极地蛋”。意思是有一天我会破壳而出，独自进行一次更大的探险。当我到达南极时，我给他发了一个小鸡破壳而出的表情符号)”可知，作者发送这个表情符号是想告诉拉尔斯，她实现了他的期望。故选B项。 D Life can be overwhelming, and you’re not alone if you’re struggling. 65% of adults in the United States reported feeling stressed due to current circumstances. This means two-thirds of adults are uncertain about their lives and futures. You may wonder why everything feels so hard. Perhaps you’re comparing yourself to others who don’t seem to be experiencing the same level of stress. However, everyone’s journey is different. Your peers may be facing challenges privately or might be in a different stage of life. It’s best to focus on your own progress rather than comparing yourself to others. Personal challenges also impact how hard life feels. Family issues such as problematic relationships can lead to feelings of loneliness, shame, and envy when you see others with strong familial support. Interpersonal issues such as navigating a break-up or losing a loved one can also make life feel harder. Feeling socially isolated can contribute to a sense of loneliness, which can badly affect health, leading to poor sleep and other issues. Psychological and physical pain further complicates life’s challenges. It’s essential to acknowledge how society factors contribute to these feelings. We’re facing economic disorder, which can be traumatic and make life feel more difficult, Licensed therapist (心理治疗师) Alegria Louise Demeestere emphasizes the importance of looking at systemic causes rather than blaming individuals. Understanding why life feels hard is the first step. When feeling this way, it’s common to feel angry or upset.“Your feeling is trying to tell you something,”says Demeestere. Being curious about your feeling can prevent you from taking it out on others or numbing it through addictions. Facing the feeling directly can use its energy to push you forward past difficulties. 1．Why should we focus on our own progress? A．It is the key to success. B．It helps to reduce anxiety completely. C．Everyone’s journey is different. D．Everyone’s demand is uneven. 2．What can cause feelings of loneliness, shame and jealousy? A．Family matters. B．Interpersonal issues. C．Psychological pain. D．Economic disorder. 3．What’s the meaning of the underlined word“traumatic”in paragraph 4? A．Painful. B．Unexpected. C．Cheerful. D．Memorable. 4．What is mainly emphasized in the last paragraph? A．Living a creative life. B．Looking at systemic causes. C．Seeking out extra support. D．Understanding why life feels hard. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文为一篇议论文，主要讨论了压力和挑战形成的原因以及应对这些感受的策略。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, everyone’s journey is different. Your peers may be facing challenges privately or might be in a different stage of life. It’s best to focus on your own progress rather than comparing yourself to others.(然而，每个人的旅程都是不同的。你的同龄人可能私下面临挑战，或者可能处于不同的人生阶段。最好关注自己的进步，而不是拿自己和别人比较)”可知，我们应该专注于自己的进步，因为每个人的旅程都是不同的。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Family issues such as problematic relationships can lead to feelings of loneliness, shame, and jealousy (嫉妒) when you see others with strong familial support.(家庭问题，比如有问题的人际关系，当你看到其他人有强大的家庭支持时，会导致孤独、羞耻和嫉妒的感觉)”可知，家庭问题会导致孤独、羞耻和嫉妒的感受。故选A。 3．词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“We’re facing economic disorder(我们正面临经济混乱)”及后文“make life feel more difficult(让生活变得更加困难)”可知，面临经济混乱是痛苦的，会让生活变得更加困难，划线词与painful意思相近，意为“痛苦的”。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Understanding why life feels hard is the first step.(理解为什么生活如此艰难是第一步)”及全段内容可知，文章最后一段强调了“理解为什么生活如此艰难”是第一步，然后人们才能直面这种感觉。故选D。 E Doing something challenging takes courage, commitment and willpower. 1 ! Whether it’s finding your dream job, learning a new skill or starting a new wellness routine, you’ll grow and learn along the way. So, step outside of your comfort zone and face the challenge. You’ll learn lessons that can transform your life. It builds your resilience (适应力). When you face something difficult, you can build your resilience. Resilience isn’t just a fixed quality that you’re born with. 2 . The key: set small, attainable goals that push you a little outside of your comfort zone but still within reach. You’ll gradually see progress and maintain motivation as you work toward self-improvement. 3____________ . You may not realize how incredible you are until you overcome something difficult. Dealing with a challenge shows your strengths, maybe some you didn’t even know that you had! This self-awareness helps develop a sense of purpose. It also helps improve performance and leads to better decision-making. It teaches you self-confidence. Completing a challenge shows you do have the capability to succeed. In other words, when things get difficult, you have the strength to continue forward, giving you a newfound sense of self-worth. 4 . It helps you learn new skills. If you want to improve your fitness, you challenge your body to become stronger, right? 5 ! Challenging yourself helps you learn new skills that you improve over time with commitment and practice.

Dealing with a  challenge shows your strengths, maybe some you didn’t even know that  you had! This self-awareness helps develop a sense of purpose. It also  helps improve performance and leads to better decision-making.(直到你克服了困难，你才会意识到自己是多么的不可思议。应对挑战能显示出你的优势，也许有些是你自己都不知道的！这种自我意识有助于培养目标感。它还有助于提高绩效并导致更好的决策)”可知，本段是关于自我意识，B项“培养自我意识”适合作本段小标题。故选B。 4．根据本段小标题“It teaches you self-confidence.(它教会你自信)”及空前“In other words, when things get difficult, you have the strength to continue forward, giving you a newfound sense of self-worth.(换句话说，当事情变得困难时，你有继续前进的力量，给你一种新的自我价值感)”可知，完成挑战会给你带来自信，G项“你会带着这种信心去面对未来的挑战”承接上文，符合语境，G项中“that confidence”呼应小标题中“self-confidence”，故选G。 5．根据空前“If you want to improve your fitness, you challenge your body to become stronger, right?(如果你想改善你的健康状况，你挑战你的身体让它变得更强壮，对吗？)”及空后“Challenging yourself helps you learn new skills that you improve over time with commitment and practice.(挑战自己可以帮助你学习新的技能，随着时间的推移，你可以通过承诺和实践来提高这些技能)”可知，空处应是一个过渡句，由挑战身体变得更加健康过渡到挑战自身学习新技能，E项“同样的方法几乎适用于任何事情”符合语境。故选E。 二、完形填空 During the summer of 2019, I cycled alone from London to Istanbul. This 1 bicycle tour took me 89 days and through 11 countries. However, it was also a (n) 2 journey, which saw me pass through some of Europe’s greatest cities, 3 some amazing people, and witness some of its most beautiful scenery. It’s becoming more and more important for us to think about the impact that 4 can have on our environment. This was the 5 for my bicycle tour: I wanted to find more responsible ways to protect the planet and 6 traveling by plane where possible. I discovered that bicycle touring is one of the most 7 ways to travel, as using nothing but a bicycle and your own pedal (脚踏) power, you can 8 everything you need while covering surprising 9 each day. The 10 of life and the free time I spent just cycling alone gave me a lot of time to 11 . This really helped me to learn a lot about myself.

I’d like to share my thoughts on challenges. _______________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for your listening. Good morning, everyone! I’d like to share my thoughts on challenges. In my view, challenges are not obstacles but opportunities for growth. Earlier this semester, I was struggling with math. The concepts seemed impossible to grasp, and my grades were declining. Instead of giving up, I spent extra time practicing, turned to teachers and classmates for help, and studied diligently every day. Gradually, I improved and even scored well in a recent test. This experience taught me that perseverance and support are key to overcoming challenges. My dear classmates, please embrace challenges with a positive mindset. Believe in yourself and seek help when needed. Remember, every challenge, no matter how discouraging, is a chance for us to become better. Thank you for your listening! 第二节 读后续写 Kenny Matthews was just three when the flat he lived in went up in smoke in 1991. The accident left him with burns to 70% of his body. Despite being very young when he suffered his burns, Kenny can still remember the day of the accident. He was playing with his toys and watching TV on the floor in the living room while his grandfather was sleeping on the living room couch. All of a sudden, he heard a sudden noise from the window and that was when the window caught fire. He had no idea what caused the window to burst like that, but all he remembered was the apartment filling up with gas and smoke from the fire. He could do nothing but panic . His grandfather, who had been asleep, woke up because of the smoke. He tried to save Kenny’s life, but he couldn’t really do much because he was weak. Picking Kenny up under his arms, he carried him over the window — unfortunately, that’s how Kenny got burnt by the fire. Kenny and his grandfather were rushed to the hospital. His grandfather whose arms were badly burned, was hospitalized for a while and then discharged (出院). Kenny went through numerous surgeries over the next few decades, which he described as a very painful journey. Now, after having been through so much over the years, Kenny’s treatment is finally done. The 36-year-old man has shared online how his burns and scars (伤疤) have affected his life as an adult. “People don’t really care about personality — they just want somebody to look good or attractive physically, and honestly, I don’t fit that description,” Kenny says. There was a guy who once said to him. “It is hard to feel attracted to someone like you because of your scars and burns.” Kenny understands it’s not their fault. He’s smart enough to know not every person is the same, even though he’s not actively looking for a partner. 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。 Kenny now has 2.4 million followers on the Internet.__________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ People always ask him how he remains positive.______________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A Sample Kenny now has 2.4 million followers on the Internet. His videos, where he shares his painful experiences and daily life, soon warm the hearts of millions of viewers. His fingers clutched his sleeve tightly, with a wave of gratitude sweeping over him. At the sight of a girl’s comment saying she no longer hides her scars, the memory of his lonely teenage days came rushing back, bringing with it a strong sense of purpose. He decided to share more of his feelings online and encourage those trapped by their physical flaws. Noticing many lives he had touched, Kenny realized his pain had turned into power. Gradually, he became a role model for young people who lacked self-confidence. People always ask him how he remains positive.“It wasn’t easy at first,”he whispered, his fingers brushing over the old scar on his wrist.He once suffered huge pressure and even wanted to give up, but he chose to hold on to hope.It was then that a thought suddenly struck him: the fire had taken his perfect appearance, but it could never defeat his inner spirit. He began to accept his scars and regard them as special medals of life. Above the quiet street outside his window, starlight spilled across the vast sky. Yet, it was his unyielding heart that truly illuminated his world. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
