I do believe this student has the ability to do well in computer science.However, he may not achieve anything great unless he experiences failure first.6. ____________I' ll never forget how disappointed an artist friend was when he was refused from a master's degree program. He waited for a year or two and tried again. He finally succeeded. He knew how lucky he was and worked even harder. Soon his artwork was so popular. Later, The New York Times wrote about him. When I was a teenager, my teacher praised everything I wrote, and I could get high marks in writing without really trying. By the time I got to college, I felt I had nothing to learn about writing, and I didn't want any criticism（批评）on my writing. So I avoided courses that might have helped me improve as a writer. After college, I worked as a writer. Then, I experienced criticism and failure. That was when I began to grow. 7. ____________ The student who always gets top scores in computer science may continue to succeed.8.____________ He mustn't rest on his laurels（荣誉）。 A.

Almost all their parents say they are good doctors. They are also great in my heart. So I wish to be a doctor like them, helping people in need. Share (17) Support (23) ( )9. Who gets the most support? A. Mike. B. Ann. C. Nick. D. Kitty. ( )10.Which of the following cities is NOT mentioned in the information above? A.Tianjin. B.Beijing. C.Shanghai. D.Nanjing. ( )11.Which of the following is NOT true according to the information above? A.Mike wants to become his students' friend and help them in study and life. B.After practice,it is easy to be an excellent dancer. C.Nick likes cooking for people to make them happy. D.There are three doctors in Kitty's family now. ( )12.Where can you see the information above? A.On a noticeboard. B.On the internet. C.In a book. D.On TV. B Behind every success lies a simple truth:people who often celebrate small wins achieve more.It's not about holding big parties for every little good thing.It's about having a winner's way of thinking Notice,praise,and value these small victories,and use them to keep moving forward. Small wins hold the power to make a difference.When we realize every tiny bit of progress we make and value it,it will boost our motivation and bring us joy.As we see ourselves getting closer to our goals step by step,our brain will send a positive signal:"This is working!"It will keep pushing us to move forward without stopping.In fact,our choice to value or ignore(忽视)small wins will bring about completely different results in our lives. When we choose to value small wins and take the time to celebrate each one,we start a positive cycle.A.basketball player who raises his fist after a successful shot isn't just showing his excitement.At this moment,his brain thinks,"I did it!"He feels happy about winning.The good feeling stays with him,and next time he will be ready to try harder and fight for the ball.A student who rewards(奖励)himself with a cup of hot drink after finishing a study task is doing the same thing.Over time,our minds form a pattern: ▲ . However,if we ignore small wins and stop celebrating them,we will break this positive cycle and focus on failures instead.This often leads to giving up.For example,if a person who wants to get fit only cares about losing 10 kilograms in a month and never celebrates small things like exercising for 30 minutes,he will easily feel discouraged and even want to quit the fitness plan. So how can we make use of the power of small wins in daily life?First,break big goals into small tasks.Instead of planning to write a whole book,try to write 300 words a day and celebrate when you finish.Second,keep a notebook to record all your small wins.Third,reward yourself with something small,like a short walk or a piece of your favourite snack.Celebrate every small win, and you will make success a habit. ( )13.Which of the following can be put in the“ ▲ ”? A.small rewards→small wins→small tasks B.small wins→positive feelings→more efforts C.big goals→unavoidable mistakes→bad feelings D.more efforts→growing confidence→great success ( )14.What is the relationship between Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3? A.Paragraph 3 tells us how to carry out the idea in Paragraph 2 as rules. B.Paragraph 3 uses positive examples to explain the idea in Paragraph 2. C.Paragraph 3 shows the bad results of following the idea in Paragraph 2. D.Paragraph 3 talks about a new idea that has nothing to do with Paragraph 2. ( )15.Why does the writer mention the example of a person who wants to lose weight in Paragraph 4? A. To show the importance of setting big goals. B. To explain how small wins can lead to success. C. To suggest that losing weight is difficult for most people. D. To prove that ignoring small wins may result in giving up. ( )16. Which of the following shows the student uses the"small wins"idea? A. Ben decides to finish his math workbook in just one day without having any rest. B. Cindy asks her mom to buy her a big gift if she can finish her homework on time. C. Emily makes a 3-step plan for her project and rests for 10 minutes after each step. D. Sam still feels sad about his bad test grades though he has done better than before.

Leo complained, putting a pile of old books into a box."You can find all these books online now. It's faster, cleaner, and doesn't take up space." "Speed isn't everything, Leo,"Grandpa said softly."Some things can only be felt, not just sent in digital ways." Leo rolled his eyes, thinking about the efficiency（效率）of his digital world. But then, as he reached for another box, it fell to the ground. A handwritten letter fell out. It was written to Grandpa, dated forty years ago, and it was slightly smudged. Leo picked it up. As he began to read the first few lines, his sarcasm died away. It described a snowy night in 1986 when Grandpa had waited hours at a train station just to say a three-minute goodbye to a friend moving abroad. There was no GPS, no fast messages—only the heartfelt hope and a handwritten promise to stay in touch. It wasn't just a letter; it was a lively, breathing record of a moment that shaped his grandpa's life—a moment that no"quick digital messages"could ever catch. Leo gave a quick look at his phone, and suddenly felt unbelievably"poor". He realized that although his digital world was faster, it could not record lively memories as Grandpa's old letter could. That evening, Leo sat by his desk. He wanted to share his feeling with his best friend back in the city. 51. What did Leo think should do with those old books? __________________________________________________________________________________ 52. When was the letter written? __________________________________________________________________________________ 53.

How do you think Leo would share his feeling with his friend, by a paper letter or a digital one?Why? __________________________________________________________________________________ 六、书面表达（本大题共 20 分） 学校英文专栏正在举办题为 The Power That Lights My Way 的征文活动。生活难免遭遇挫折，总有一份力量鼓舞我们坚持下去，让我们体会生命的美好。这份力量或许来自课本中的人物 (如 Vincent van Gogh、Stephen Hawking、Zhang Guimei、Fan Jinshi), 也可能来自你的亲人、老师。请你根据要点提示写短文投稿。 内容要点： 1.简述你曾经遇到的一次挫折； 2.某个人带给你的启发与鼓励（课本人物或者身边的人皆可），如何带你走出这次困境； 3.结合这次经历，谈谈你的收获和感受。 注意事项： 1.短文内容自拟，语句通顺、行文连贯； 2.词数不少于100词； 3.文中不得出现真实姓名或学校名称。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 一、1-4 ACBD 5-8 BADE 9-12 DABB 13-16 BBDC 17-20 BDCD 二、21-25 BADDA 26-30 CBAAC 三、31-40 inspiring, compared, take away, drop out of school, take over, made up her mind, live through, Over time, make it to, disappoint 四、41-50 to win, recognized, performance, shorter, to slide, exactly, were offered, achieving, have kept, will follow 五、51.
