They needed to collect a list of random (随机的) objects within 90 minutes under a set of intentionally limited rules. Every object had to come from a stranger, and the only acceptable method of acquiring it was to ask. When the students returned to the classroom, what surprised the students most was not the odd mixture of things they managed to collect, but the success rate they found. You see, nearly every group had completed almost the entire list and they found that people were frequently amused by the request (请求) and often quite happy to help. One of the most popular explanations of how small features of a request influence behaviour comes from psychologist Ellen Langer’s famous copier study in the late 1970s. In the experiment, a researcher approached people waiting in line at a photocopy machine and asked if they could cut in line. When the request was made without explanation, a small number of people agreed, and when the same request included a reason, agreement increased sharply. What was truly remarkable about the study was that the explanation did not need to contain any meaningful information at all. Another body of research suggests that the difficulty people experience with asking for help is often not because of poor persuasion (说服) skills, but because we wrongly guess how willing others are to help. Psychologists Flynn and Lake conducted a series of experiments in which participants (参与者) approached strangers with small requests. Before they asked anyone, the participants guessed how many people would say yes. The surprising thing was that they thought they would get many more “no”s than they really got. For most students, the things they collected on the desk were not as important as what they learnt: Most of the difficulties they had expected were never really there. 26．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．A stranger. B．A task. C．A rule. D．A random object. 27．What can we learn from the first 2 paragraphs? A．Collected objects were of little practical value. B．The result of the task was out of expectation. C．The required time of the task was short. D．Few students finished the task as required. 28．Which is most likely TRUE according to Ellen Langer’s study? A．Giving any reason is better than giving no reason. B．People only agree when the reason is meaningful. C．Few people say yes to requests with clear reasons. D．The content of the reason matters more than the fact of giving one. 29．What can be inferred from the studies? A．What we request blocks our decision. B．Meaningful reasons are in great need. C．Fine persuasion skills determine success. D．What we fear lies mostly in imagination. 30．What is the best title for the passage? A．The secret of collecting things B．Just ask: you may be surprised C．Ways to communicate with strangers D．A famous copier study by Ellen Langer 【答案】26．D 27．B 28．A 29．D 30．B 【导语】本文通过一个学生收集随机物品的任务和多项心理学研究，说明人们往往低估他人愿意帮忙的程度，其实只要开口请求，结果常常出乎意料地好。 【详解】26．原文第一段说“They needed to collect a list of random (随机的) objects within 90 minutes under a set of intentionally limited rules. Every object had to come from a stranger, and the only acceptable method of acquiring it was to ask.”他们需要在一套刻意设定的有限规则下，于90分钟内收集一份随机物品清单。每一样东西都必须来自一个陌生人，而获取它的唯一可接受的方式就是开口去问。 这里的“it”指代的是前面提到的“object”，即“a random object”。 27．第二段明确指出：“what surprised the students most was not the odd mixture of things they managed to collect, but the success rate they found.” 最让学生们惊讶的，不是他们设法收集到的那些东西的奇特混合，而是他们发现的成功率。这说明任务的结果出乎学生意料。 28．第三段提到，当请求中包含理由时，同意率大幅上升，而且“the explanation did not need to contain any meaningful information at all.” 也就是说，哪怕理由没有实质内容，只要给出理由，效果就更好。 29．第四段指出，人们常常高估别人拒绝的可能性，实际得到的“yes”比想象中多。最后一段也总结说：“Most of the difficulties they had expected were never really there.” 说明我们担心的困难多半是想象出来的。 30．全文围绕“向陌生人提出请求”展开，结果表明人们比我们想象的更愿意帮忙。标题“Just ask: you may be surprised”最贴合文章主旨。 B Teenagers’ need for more independence (独立) is a natural part of growing up. However, this can be a challenge for parents. As a recent survey shows, many parents are reluctant to allow their children to do things without adults around. The survey was carried out by the Mott Poll team at the University of Michigan. It interviewed more than 1,000 parents of children aged 13 to 18. Fewer than one in three would let their children walk alone to a coffee shop, and only one in five would allow their children to go to an amusement park by themselves. “Those results are troubling,” says Sarah Clark, a public health expert. “Teenagers need more chances to explore the world on their own. ” Others are worried that teenagers are less independent than before. Unlike teenagers in the past, children today are less likely to hold part-time jobs, and walk or ride to school alone. At the same time, mental health problems among teenagers have risen in recent years. Although it is hard to prove (证明) that one directly causes the other, experts think less independence can be harmful to teenagers’ healthy development. Therefore, the goal of parents shouldn’t be to protect teenagers from all dangers, but to help them develop independence in a safe environment. For example, before allowing teenagers to go to a nearby coffee shop, parents might ask teenagers to make some plans. They can also agree on a time to return and how to contact (联系) parents if the plans change. This way, teenagers will grow to be happier, healthier and more independent. 31．What does the underlined word “reluctant” probably mean? A．Proud. B．Unwilling. C．Excited. D．Surprised. 32．What can we learn from the survey? A．Over 1,000 teenagers were interviewed. B．Most parents don’t let children drink coffee. C．Teenagers are likely to be more independent. D．Not many parents allow children to go out alone. 33．What do experts think about less independence? A．It leads to poor family relationships. B．It is a kind of mental health problem. C．It probably harms healthy development. D．It directly causes mental health problems. 34．What does the writer suggest parents do? A．Keep teenagers away from risks. B．Have stricter control over teenagers. C．Allow teenagers to do everything freely. D．Balance teenagers’ independence and safety. 35．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Parents should stop worrying about teenagers’ safety. B．Teenagers should be given proper chances to develop independence safely. C．Teenagers today have more mental health problems than before. D．A survey finds most parents refuse to let their kids go out alone. 【答案】31．B 32．D 33．C 34．D 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了青少年对独立性的需求以及家长对此的担忧，通过密歇根大学的调查数据说明许多家长不愿让孩子独自外出，专家指出缺乏独立性可能不利于青少年的健康发展，并建议家长在安全环境中帮助孩子培养独立性。 【详解】31．文章第一段指出“many parents are reluctant to allow their children to do things without adults around.”，结合前文提到青少年对独立的需求是成长的自然部分，但这对家长而言是挑战，后文又列举调查数据显示仅少数家长允许孩子独自去咖啡店、游乐园，可推知划线词reluctant表达家长不情愿让孩子在无成人陪同下行动的含义，对应选项Unwilling“不情愿的”。 32．文章第二段指出“Fewer than one in three would let their children walk alone to a coffee shop, and only one in five would allow their children to go to an amusement park by themselves.”，直接说明没有多少家长允许孩子独自外出。 33．文章第四段指出“experts think less independence can be harmful to teenagers’ healthy development.”，直接说明专家认为缺乏独立性可能损害青少年的健康发展。 34．文章最后一段指出“the goal of parents shouldn’t be to protect teenagers from all dangers, but to help them develop independence in a safe environment.”，直接说明作者建议家长在安全与独立之间取得平衡。 35．文章讨论了青少年独立性发展的需求与家长担忧之间的矛盾，并建议在安全环境中给予青少年适当的机会培养独立性。由此推断，文章的主旨是青少年应该获得在安全环境中发展独立性的适当机会。 C Great Scientists of the World Many great scientists in history have changed the world with their wisdom and hard work. Let’s explore the stories of these four famous minds. Name: Charles Darwin (1809-1882) Biologist During his journey around the world, he studied different animals and plants in nature. He discovered that they were not always the same—they changed slowly over a long time to adapt to the natural environment. He called this idea the “theory of evolution (进化论)”. This discovery helped mankind understand how life on Earth grows and develops. Name: Hou Debang (1890-1974) Chemist After studying chemistry abroad, he returned to China and tried his best to develop the country’s chemical industry. To help the nation produce its own soda ash (碳酸钠), he carried out many experiments and stuck to his scientific research for many years. His hard work finally led to a new production method, which ended foreign countries’ control over the market. Name: Deng Jiaxian (1924-1986) Physicist As a pioneer of China’s nuclear (原子核的) science,  he led his team to develop the nation’s first atomic and hydrogen bombs (原子弹和氢弹) starting from zero. He braved difficult conditions in the western desert in China for 28 years. Finally, he made historic achievements, adding China to the world’s list of nuclear powers. Name: Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) Physicist He was one of the most admirable scientists who explored the mysteries of the universe in modern history. With his research and popular science books, he spread scientific knowledge across the world and inspired people with his wisdom and strong spirit. 36．What did Charles Darwin find during his travel around the world? A．Animals and plants stay the same all the time. B．Life on Earth changes slowly to fit nature. C．He found the secret of the universe. D．He developed a new chemical-making method. 37．What’s the meaning of Deng Jiaxian’s achievement? A．It has protected our country. B．It has made us understand physics better. C．It has spread scientific knowledge everywhere. D．It helped China learn more about the universe. 38．What do the four scientists have in common? A．They all changed people’s daily lives. B．They all became famous for one discovery. C．They all made important scientific achievements. D．They all worked in the western desert of China. 【答案】36．B 37．A 38．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了四位世界著名科学家：达尔文、侯德榜、邓稼先、霍金，讲述他们凭借智慧与努力取得伟大科学成就的故事。 【详解】36．根据原文达尔文介绍中提到的“During his journey around the world, he studied different animals and plants in nature. He discovered that they were not always the same—they changed slowly over a long time.”可知，达尔文发现地球上的生命会缓慢变化来适应自然。 37．根据原文邓稼先介绍中提到的“As a pioneer of China’s nuclear...Finally, he made historic achievements, adding China to the world’s list of nuclear powers.”可知，邓稼先的成就保护了我们的国家。 38．综合四位科学家的介绍，达尔文提出进化论、侯德榜改进制碱方法、邓稼先研发核科学、霍金探索宇宙奥秘，他们都取得了重要的科学成就。 D Most of us know lotus roots as a delicious food. People often cook them into tasty dishes like lotus root soup. But do you know this common vegetable has a magic use, even related to an old Chinese legend? In the story of Nezha, the brave young hero was brought back to life with lotus roots. Today, scientists led by Wu Jun are turning this old story into real science. They found that lotus roots have many small holes inside, called air canals (气腔). After simple processing, they can become natural bone scaffolds (支架)—a kind of support that helps broken bones grow and heal (愈合). The team did careful tests on mice. They made small holes in the mice’s skulls and inserted (嵌入) processed lotus root scaffolds. After two months, the result was surprising: The mice with lotus root scaffolds had about 50 percent new bone growth, while the other mice without the scaffolds inserted had almost none. What’s more, lotus root scaffolds are much safer than traditional metal ones. They can slowly break down and can naturally be taken in by human bodies, so no second surgery (外科手术) is needed. Wu’s team can even change the lotus root scaffolds to fit different injuries (损伤). With 3D design and careful cutting, they make scaffolds of different shapes for different bone problems. They also control how fast the scaffolds break down, making sure it matches the speed of bone healing. Now, they plan to test the scaffolds on larger animals like sheep and explore the possibility of turning lotus root into very thin pieces to make wound dressings. From an old Chinese legend to modern laboratory tests, from a daily dish to a promising medical helper, the common lotus root is full of surprises. 39．Why does the writer mention the story of Nezha? A．To explain how lotus roots are grown. B．To show Nezha is a brave young hero. C．To tell readers a funny Chinese story. D．To introduce the magic use of lotus roots. 40．Why are lotus root scaffolds safer than traditional ones? A．They are easier to carry. B．They look more beautiful. C．They are cheaper to produce. D．They naturally disappear in the body. 41．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Lotus roots will be widely used in hospitals soon. B．Metal scaffolds are not safe enough for the human body. C．The team can make different lotus root scaffolds to meet people’s needs. D．The team has done many tests on small animals like mice. 42．What should be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】39．D 40．D 41．C 42．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了莲藕除了作为食物外，还被科学家用来制作骨支架，帮助骨折愈合，并具有比传统金属支架更安全、可自然降解等优点。 【详解】39．文章第一段最后一句“But do you know this common vegetable has a magic use, even related to an old Chinese legend?”指出，莲藕有一种神奇的用途，甚至与一个古老的中国传说有关；第二段第一句“In the story of Nezha, the brave young hero was brought back to life with lotus roots.”引出莲藕的神奇用途。作者提到哪吒的故事是为了引出莲藕的神奇用途。 40．文章第三段最后两句“What’s more, lotus root scaffolds are much safer than traditional metal ones. They can slowly break down and can naturally be taken in by human bodies, so no second surgery is needed.”指出，莲藕支架比传统金属支架更安全，因为它们可以缓慢分解并被人体自然吸收，无需二次手术。 41．文章第四段第一句“Wu’s team can even change the lotus root scaffolds to fit different injuries.”指出，吴的团队可以改变莲藕支架以适应不同的损伤；第四段第二句“they make scaffolds of different shapes for different bone problems”指出，他们为不同的骨骼问题制作不同形状的支架。因此第四段主要讲的是团队可以制作不同的莲藕支架来满足人们的需求。 42．文章第一段引出莲藕的神奇用途；第二段介绍莲藕支架的原理；第三段介绍小鼠实验的结果；第四段介绍团队根据需求调整支架形状和降解速度；第五段总结莲藕的医疗潜力。①总起→②③④分述→⑤总结。这是“总—分—总”结构，对应B选项的图示。 四、信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的A~F选项中，选出5个适当的选项补全短文。 Technology has changed the world greatly over the years. 43 It has changed the way we live, work, and communicate.

They admire the great achievements of others, but ignore the long, quiet struggle behind every win. However, talent and good luck are never enough for long-term success. The real secret of lasting success lies in grit. Grit means the ability to stick to your long-term goal and keep moving forward, even when you meet troubles, slow progress and repeated failures. Grit does not mean pushing yourself to work nonstop every day. It also does not mean you can never feel tired, upset or sad. True grit allows you to feel bad for a short while, but you will not stay stuck in disappointment. Many people give up their dreams too early because they expect quick and amazing results. When they cannot see clear progress in a short time, they lose heart and stop all their efforts. Building grit is a slow process and it takes time. One useful way is to learn lessons from small failures instead of feeling ashamed. Every small mistake can teach you something valuable and help you grow. Another way is to set a long-term goal and divide it into small daily tasks. Finishing these small tasks little by little brings you confidence and keeps you on track. Grit is not a natural gift only for a few lucky people. It can be trained and developed by anyone through daily practice. No matter what difficulties you meet on your life journey, you can train yourself to hold on and refuse to give up. 59．What does grit mean according to the passage? 60．What do many people expect to get from their efforts? 61．Why do many people give up their dreams too early? 62．How many ways to build grit are mentioned in the text? 63．Is grit a natural gift only for several lucky people? 【答案】59．To stick to long-term goals through difficulties. 60．Quick and amazing results. 61．Because they can’t see clear progress soon. 62．Two. 63．No. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“毅力”（grit）的真正含义，纠正了人们对毅力的误解，并提出了培养毅力的两种有效方法，强调了毅力并非天赋，而是可以通过后天练习获得的品质。 【详解】59．原文第一段“Grit means the ability to stick to your long-term goal and keep moving forward, even when you meet troubles, slow progress and repeated failures.”，题目询问毅力的含义，可以直接提取原文中关于定义的描述，或者概括为“在困难中坚持长期目标”。 60．根据文章第二段“Many people give up their dreams too early because they expect quick and amazing results.”，题目询问许多人期望从努力中得到什么，原文明确指出他们期望“快速且惊人的结果”。填Quick and amazing results. 61．根据文章第二段“When they cannot see clear progress in a short time, they lose heart and stop all their efforts.”，题目询问许多人过早放弃梦想的原因，是因为他们在短时间内看不到明显的进步。故填Because they can’t see clear progress soon. 62．根据文章第三段“One useful way is to learn lessons from small failures...” 和 “Another way is to set a long-term goal and divide it into small daily tasks.”，文中明确提到了“从失败中吸取教训”和“设定长期目标并分解任务”这两种方法，因此答案是两种。 63．根据文章最后一段“Grit is not a natural gift only for a few lucky people.”，题目询问毅力是否只是少数幸运儿的天赋，原文直接给出了否定的回答。 七、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。（每空一词） Music is an important part of my life.

It’s not easy for teenagers to deal with such problems. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： Dear Alex, I understand you. Once I was also in a similar situation. It’s not easy for teenagers to deal with such problems. In my opinion, fashion is not about following the latest trends or wearing expensive clothes. True fashion means being confident in who you are. A true friend, however, should accept you for who you are and never make you feel bad about yourself. If someone laughs at you just because of your clothes, he is not a real friend. Here is my suggestion: talk to John honestly about how you feel. Real friends respect each other. Also, don’t be afraid to be yourself — the right friends will like you for your kindness and character, not your appearance. Remember, you are unique and valuable just as you are. I hope you will feel better soon.

They needed to collect a list of random (随机的) objects within 90 minutes under a set of intentionally limited rules. Every object had to come from a stranger, and the only acceptable method of acquiring it was to ask. When the students returned to the classroom, what surprised the students most was not the odd mixture of things they managed to collect, but the success rate they found. You see, nearly every group had completed almost the entire list and they found that people were frequently amused by the request (请求) and often quite happy to help. One of the most popular explanations of how small features of a request influence behaviour comes from psychologist Ellen Langer’s famous copier study in the late 1970s. In the experiment, a researcher approached people waiting in line at a photocopy machine and asked if they could cut in line. When the request was made without explanation, a small number of people agreed, and when the same request included a reason, agreement increased sharply. What was truly remarkable about the study was that the explanation did not need to contain any meaningful information at all. Another body of research suggests that the difficulty people experience with asking for help is often not because of poor persuasion (说服) skills, but because we wrongly guess how willing others are to help. Psychologists Flynn and Lake conducted a series of experiments in which participants (参与者) approached strangers with small requests. Before they asked anyone, the participants guessed how many people would say yes. The surprising thing was that they thought they would get many more “no”s than they really got. For most students, the things they collected on the desk were not as important as what they learnt: Most of the difficulties they had expected were never really there. 26．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．A stranger. B．A task. C．A rule. D．A random object. 27．What can we learn from the first 2 paragraphs? A．Collected objects were of little practical value. B．The result of the task was out of expectation. C．The required time of the task was short. D．Few students finished the task as required. 28．Which is most likely TRUE according to Ellen Langer’s study? A．Giving any reason is better than giving no reason. B．People only agree when the reason is meaningful. C．Few people say yes to requests with clear reasons. D．The content of the reason matters more than the fact of giving one. 29．What can be inferred from the studies? A．What we request blocks our decision. B．Meaningful reasons are in great need. C．Fine persuasion skills determine success. D．What we fear lies mostly in imagination. 30．What is the best title for the passage? A．The secret of collecting things B．Just ask: you may be surprised C．Ways to communicate with strangers D．A famous copier study by Ellen Langer B Teenagers’ need for more independence (独立) is a natural part of growing up. However, this can be a challenge for parents. As a recent survey shows, many parents are reluctant to allow their children to do things without adults around. The survey was carried out by the Mott Poll team at the University of Michigan. It interviewed more than 1,000 parents of children aged 13 to 18. Fewer than one in three would let their children walk alone to a coffee shop, and only one in five would allow their children to go to an amusement park by themselves. “Those results are troubling,” says Sarah Clark, a public health expert. “Teenagers need more chances to explore the world on their own. ” Others are worried that teenagers are less independent than before. Unlike teenagers in the past, children today are less likely to hold part-time jobs, and walk or ride to school alone. At the same time, mental health problems among teenagers have risen in recent years. Although it is hard to prove (证明) that one directly causes the other, experts think less independence can be harmful to teenagers’ healthy development. Therefore, the goal of parents shouldn’t be to protect teenagers from all dangers, but to help them develop independence in a safe environment. For example, before allowing teenagers to go to a nearby coffee shop, parents might ask teenagers to make some plans. They can also agree on a time to return and how to contact (联系) parents if the plans change. This way, teenagers will grow to be happier, healthier and more independent. 31．What does the underlined word “reluctant” probably mean? A．Proud. B．Unwilling. C．Excited. D．Surprised. 32．What can we learn from the survey? A．Over 1,000 teenagers were interviewed. B．Most parents don’t let children drink coffee. C．Teenagers are likely to be more independent. D．Not many parents allow children to go out alone. 33．What do experts think about less independence? A．It leads to poor family relationships. B．It is a kind of mental health problem. C．It probably harms healthy development. D．It directly causes mental health problems. 34．What does the writer suggest parents do? A．Keep teenagers away from risks. B．Have stricter control over teenagers. C．Allow teenagers to do everything freely. D．Balance teenagers’ independence and safety. 35．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Parents should stop worrying about teenagers’ safety. B．Teenagers should be given proper chances to develop independence safely. C．Teenagers today have more mental health problems than before. D．A survey finds most parents refuse to let their kids go out alone. C Great Scientists of the World Many great scientists in history have changed the world with their wisdom and hard work. Let’s explore the stories of these four famous minds. Name: Charles Darwin (1809-1882) Biologist During his journey around the world, he studied different animals and plants in nature. He discovered that they were not always the same—they changed slowly over a long time to adapt to the natural environment. He called this idea the “theory of evolution (进化论)”. This discovery helped mankind understand how life on Earth grows and develops. Name: Hou Debang (1890-1974) Chemist After studying chemistry abroad, he returned to China and tried his best to develop the country’s chemical industry. To help the nation produce its own soda ash (碳酸钠), he carried out many experiments and stuck to his scientific research for many years. His hard work finally led to a new production method, which ended foreign countries’ control over the market. Name: Deng Jiaxian (1924-1986) Physicist As a pioneer of China’s nuclear (原子核的) science,  he led his team to develop the nation’s first atomic and hydrogen bombs (原子弹和氢弹) starting from zero. He braved difficult conditions in the western desert in China for 28 years. Finally, he made historic achievements, adding China to the world’s list of nuclear powers. Name: Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) Physicist He was one of the most admirable scientists who explored the mysteries of the universe in modern history. With his research and popular science books, he spread scientific knowledge across the world and inspired people with his wisdom and strong spirit. 36．What did Charles Darwin find during his travel around the world? A．Animals and plants stay the same all the time. B．Life on Earth changes slowly to fit nature. C．He found the secret of the universe. D．He developed a new chemical-making method. 37．What’s the meaning of Deng Jiaxian’s achievement? A．It has protected our country. B．It has made us understand physics better. C．It has spread scientific knowledge everywhere. D．It helped China learn more about the universe. 38．What do the four scientists have in common? A．They all changed people’s daily lives. B．They all became famous for one discovery. C．They all made important scientific achievements. D．They all worked in the western desert of China. D Most of us know lotus roots as a delicious food. People often cook them into tasty dishes like lotus root soup. But do you know this common vegetable has a magic use, even related to an old Chinese legend? In the story of Nezha, the brave young hero was brought back to life with lotus roots. Today, scientists led by Wu Jun are turning this old story into real science. They found that lotus roots have many small holes inside, called air canals (气腔). After simple processing, they can become natural bone scaffolds (支架)—a kind of support that helps broken bones grow and heal (愈合). The team did careful tests on mice. They made small holes in the mice’s skulls and inserted (嵌入) processed lotus root scaffolds. After two months, the result was surprising: The mice with lotus root scaffolds had about 50 percent new bone growth, while the other mice without the scaffolds inserted had almost none. What’s more, lotus root scaffolds are much safer than traditional metal ones. They can slowly break down and can naturally be taken in by human bodies, so no second surgery (外科手术) is needed. Wu’s team can even change the lotus root scaffolds to fit different injuries (损伤). With 3D design and careful cutting, they make scaffolds of different shapes for different bone problems. They also control how fast the scaffolds break down, making sure it matches the speed of bone healing. Now, they plan to test the scaffolds on larger animals like sheep and explore the possibility of turning lotus root into very thin pieces to make wound dressings. From an old Chinese legend to modern laboratory tests, from a daily dish to a promising medical helper, the common lotus root is full of surprises. 39．Why does the writer mention the story of Nezha? A．To explain how lotus roots are grown. B．To show Nezha is a brave young hero. C．To tell readers a funny Chinese story. D．To introduce the magic use of lotus roots. 40．Why are lotus root scaffolds safer than traditional ones? A．They are easier to carry. B．They look more beautiful. C．They are cheaper to produce. D．They naturally disappear in the body. 41．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Lotus roots will be widely used in hospitals soon. B．Metal scaffolds are not safe enough for the human body. C．The team can make different lotus root scaffolds to meet people’s needs. D．The team has done many tests on small animals like mice. 42．What should be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C．D． 四、信息还原（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的A~F选项中，选出5个适当的选项补全短文。 Technology has changed the world greatly over the years. 43 It has changed the way we live, work, and communicate.

They admire the great achievements of others, but ignore the long, quiet struggle behind every win. However, talent and good luck are never enough for long-term success. The real secret of lasting success lies in grit. Grit means the ability to stick to your long-term goal and keep moving forward, even when you meet troubles, slow progress and repeated failures. Grit does not mean pushing yourself to work nonstop every day. It also does not mean you can never feel tired, upset or sad. True grit allows you to feel bad for a short while, but you will not stay stuck in disappointment. Many people give up their dreams too early because they expect quick and amazing results. When they cannot see clear progress in a short time, they lose heart and stop all their efforts. Building grit is a slow process and it takes time. One useful way is to learn lessons from small failures instead of feeling ashamed. Every small mistake can teach you something valuable and help you grow. Another way is to set a long-term goal and divide it into small daily tasks. Finishing these small tasks little by little brings you confidence and keeps you on track. Grit is not a natural gift only for a few lucky people. It can be trained and developed by anyone through daily practice. No matter what difficulties you meet on your life journey, you can train yourself to hold on and refuse to give up. 59．What does grit mean according to the passage? 60．What do many people expect to get from their efforts? 61．Why do many people give up their dreams too early? 62．How many ways to build grit are mentioned in the text? 63．Is grit a natural gift only for several lucky people? 七、短文填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。（每空一词） Music is an important part of my life.
