三、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Many teenagers believe that great success comes from natural talent. They think some people are born excellent, while they themselves can never make much progress no matter how hard they try. This wrong idea stops plenty of young people from sticking to their goals when difficulties appear.
Dr. Wang, a psychologist, has spent years studying how perseverance influences teenagers. In her recent research, she followed over 200 young people for three years. She found that those who kept trying after failures were more likely to reach their goals, even if they were less talented at the beginning. Talent only gives a small advantage at the early stage. As time goes by, continuous efforts play a much more important role.
Dr. Wang also points out that strong will does not mean never feeling tired or disappointed. True perseverance means allowing yourself to feel upset for a short time, then standing up and continuing your journey. It is wise to cut a big goal into several small ones. Every time you finish a small task, you gain confidence and move forward step by step.
She reminds teenagers not to judge their ability only by one failure. One single bad result cannot take away all your efforts. If you keep practising and learn from mistakes, your hard work will finally pay off.
31. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Most teenagers are born with great talent. B. Wrong beliefs may stop teenagers from keeping on trying.
C. Hard work cannot help teenagers achieve their dreams. D. Many teenagers never meet difficulties.
32. What can we learn from Dr. Wang's research?
A. Talented people can always reach their goals easily. B. Less talented teenagers can never make progress. C. Perseverance matters more than talent in the long run. D. Few young people are willing to keep trying.
33. According to Dr. Wang, real perseverance is ______.
A. never feeling tired or disappointed at all B. setting only one big goal and waiting for success
C. avoiding all kinds of mistakes and failures D. recovering from bad feelings and keep moving forward
34. What does the underlined phrase "pay off" mean in the last paragraph?
A. Be successful. B. Be painful. C. Disappear. D. Continue.
B

But Bethany refused to give up hope. She decided to get back on her board. At first, it was extremely difficult. She had to learn how to balance with one arm. She fell off the board hundreds of times. Her body ached and she felt discouraged many times. However, her strong will pushed her to keep practising every day.
One month after the attack, Bethany returned to surfing. Within two years, she won first place in a national surfing competition. Later, she became a professional surfer and travelled around the world to take part in races.
After her competitive career, Bethany did not stop helping others. She travelled to schools and hospitals to share her story. She told people that a difficulty in life is not a dead end.

When we talk about success, we often only see the final victory but ignore the long and boring training behind it. A documentary about young mountain climbers shows us the true meaning of sticking to dreams.
Mountain climbing is much harder than common hiking. Climbers need to deal with steep rocks, sudden weather changes and tired muscles. 16-year-old Zhang Wei is one of the climbers in the documentary. He was not a top climber at first. He often fell behind in training and even thought of giving up after several failures. His coach did not ask him to beat others. Instead, he told Zhang Wei to focus on self-improvement rather than comparing himself with teammates.
Zhang Wei took the coach's advice. He kept a training diary to record his weak points every day. He made small plans to improve his balance and strength step by step. Whenever he felt tired, he read his diary notes to encourage himself. He did not aim to beat others, but to become better than he was yesterday.
One year later, Zhang Wei joined an important mountain climbing competition. He did not win first prize. However, he finished the route and broke his own personal record. The whole audience cheered for his performance.
The documentary tells us a valuable lesson: true success does not mean beating all competitors. It means fighting against your own weakness and making progress little by little.
39. What is mountain climbing like according to the passage?
A. It is easy and relaxing for most teenagers. B. Climbers only need to walk on smooth paths.
C. Climbers may face sudden weather changes. D. It does not require strong physical condition.

A. He won too many races and became proud. B. He was not good enough and wanted to give up.
C. His coach asked him to win every competition. D. He refused to follow any training plan.
41. What did Zhang Wei do to improve himself?
A. He compared himself with top climbers every day. B. He kept a diary and made small improvement plans. C. He trained harder than anyone else without rest. D. He asked his parents to be his coach.
42. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Win big prizes in competitions B. Success lies in self-improvement
C. Mountain climbing is a popular sport D. Never compare with other people.

Many people believe that success belongs only to those who are born talented or lucky. 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 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. 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.
Building grit is a slow process. One useful way is to learn lessons from small failures instead of feeling ashamed. 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.
Grit is not a natural gift only for a few lucky people. It can be trained and developed by anyone through daily practice.
56. What does grit mean according to the passage?
________________________________________________
57. What do many people expect to get from their efforts?
________________________________________________
58. Why do many people give up their dreams too early?
________________________________________________
59. How many ways to build grit are mentioned?

60. Is grit a natural gift only for several lucky people?

Never Give Up
Life is full of difficulties. Last term, I failed my English speech competition. I felt so upset that I wanted to give up practising.
However, I told myself not to lose heart. I kept practising every morning and asked my teacher for advice. Slowly, I made great progress.
From this experience, I learned that we may meet failures anytime. As long as we never give up, we will make it in the end.
