四、阅读理解
A
Tom came to his teacher and asked him, “Sir, I have a question. How many friends should a person have—one or many ”
“It is very simple,” the teacher answered. “Get me that red apple from the highest branch (树枝) of the tree.”
Tom looked up and said, “It’s too high! I can’t reach it.”
“Ask a friend. Maybe he can help,” the teacher suggested.
Tom called another student and stood on his shoulders (肩膀) to reach the branch. “I still can’t reach it, sir,” said Tom sadly after the first try.
“Don’t you have more friends ” the teacher smiled.
Tom asked more friends to come over. They stood on each other’s shoulders, trying to make a human pyramid (金字塔). But the apple was so high that they couldn’t go higher and the pyramid fell. Tom still couldn’t reach the apple.
Then one of the friends went home, brought a ladder (梯子) and Tom finally picked the apple.
After getting the apple, the teacher asked, “So, do you understand how many friends a person needs ”
“Yes, I do,” Tom said. “Many, so together we can work out any problem.”
“Sounds good,” the teacher said. “You need as many friends as you can. Among them, there will be at least one smart person who can think of a good idea, like getting a ladder!”

Have you heard of the saying “If you fall off the horse, get back on.” It means that things may get difficult, and you may make many mistakes. But you should have the passion (激情) and energy to keep going. This is called perseverance (毅力). It can help you get a lot of things.
Perseverance means keeping doing something for a long time. It doesn’t matter whether it is easy or difficult. For example, you practise a trick on your bike again and again. Or you finish a picture without giving up. These show perseverance. Florence, a 13-year-old girl, says, “It means never giving up and trying hard to push yourself. I go running with my mum three times a week. Sometimes I feel good and sometimes I don’t. But I still do it because I want to be the fastest in my class. Whether in good situations or bad ones, we need perseverance.”
Studies show that when you feel hopeful and work for a goal you really want, it can reduce stress (压力) and make you feel happier. When you get something you worked hard for and face difficulties on the way, it can develop your confidence and make you feel braver to try new things. Angela Duckworth is an expert (专家) on people’s thoughts and feelings. She studies perseverance and calls it “grit”. She thinks that having grit is really important for us to succeed. She says, “No matter how talented (有天赋的) you are at something or how well you do in school, you must have grit. When things are hard, perseverance is even more important. It can help you get past the hard times and reach your goals.” Duckworth believes perseverance is something anyone can learn. The best way to learn it is to have a growth mind. This means believing that your brain can grow. You can get anything if you put your mind to it. As the book The Big Life Journal says, “People with a growth idea know they can get better by working hard. They keep trying even when things are difficult.”
47．Why does the writer take Florence for example in Paragraph 2
A．To introduce what perseverance means. B．To talk about how to train running skills.
C．To present the advantages of perseverance. D．To show the importance of staying with parents.
48．According to the passage, what can help us reduce stress
A．Developing talents through mistakes. B．Building confidence in hard situations.
C．Trying hard for our dreams with hope. D．Keeping doing things without thinking.
49．Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with
A．Goals are easier to reach in difficult times.
B．Talent is the most important for us to succeed.
C．Being clever will help us do well in our lessons.
D．Knowing we can get better helps us develop grit.
50．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．What perseverance means. B．What perseverance includes.
C．How to practice perseverance. D．How perseverance is good for you.
51．What is the best title for the passage
A．The Power of Perseverance B．The Tips to Reach the Goals
C．The Ways to Solve Problems D．The Meaning of Thinking Habits
C
Are you the type of person who sticks to something once you have made your mind up Do you set your heart and mind on something and then go for it without stopping Have you ever been described as strong-minded
If so, you are probably a very determined character. Determination is about moving forward to achieve your goals and not giving up when you meet difficulties. It is the willpower that helps you control yourself and achieve what you want. It is an inner strength (内在力量) that helps us to stay on course and reach our goals, no matter what.
Being determined is a very good quality to have. So how can we become determined
Learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of those around you. Learn to look at the past as training for the future. Use those mistakes as a chance to learn something new.
Don’t be scared of failing. Failures are just stepping stones on the road to success. What you should be scared of is not giving your goal 100% effort. Just think about how you will feel if you give up on it.
Don’t waste time worrying about the things you can’t change. Use your strength and your determination to achieve things that you can control.
Be patient. The road to your goal may be long and arduous at times and you need to make great efforts on the way. Sometimes determination is about being prepared to wait for the right chance, and being ready when it comes up.
Don’t stand in your own way. This means believing in yourself and not setting limits (限制) on yourself. To do something you’ve never done before, you need to become someone you’ve never been before. You have to be prepared to make changes.
52．How does the writer begin the text
A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions.
C．By showing a saying. D．By sending a message.

七、任务型阅读
阅读短文，根据题目要求完成各小题。
Learn to Love Yourself
Do you ever compare yourself to other people and wish you could be more like them We are all different in our own way. Self-acceptance (自我接纳) can help you feel happier and better about yourself.
What is self-acceptance
Self-acceptance means learning to accept the things that make you who you are. As well as being thankful for what you’re good at, like sports, science or singing in the school choir, self-acceptance also means valuing (重视) the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. A 12-year-old girl, Lily, says self-acceptance means “knowing your own weaknesses and strengths (强项), and accepting who you are no matter what other people say or think.”
Why is self-acceptance good for you
When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. This makes you feel happier and more confident (自信的). The Anna Freud Centre, a charity (慈善机构) that helps young people, says everyone can feel that they have to be perfect, but that makes us forget about the little things that make us special, because we’re so busy trying to meet someone else’s standards. Learning to accept everything about yourself can also help you find what you’re really good at. For example, some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, but they might have strengths in other things, like finding good ways to work out problems.
5._________________________
Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Also, try saying kind, happy things to yourself in a mirror (镜子) every morning. Think up ways to treat yourself, such as taking a long bath, watching your favorite film, or eating delicious ice-cream. But don’t forget it’s important to eat healthy food and get enough sleep.
68．Does self-acceptance help us feel happier
69．In Lily’s mind, what does self-acceptance mean

【详解】句意：——你加入俱乐部多久了？——大约五年。join，join in以及take part in都是短暂性的动词或词组，在肯定句中不能与表示一段的时间状语连用，也不能用在how long引导的特殊疑问句中，be a member of“成为……中的一员”，表示状态，故答案选D。
【点睛】短暂性动词又称瞬间动词，表示动作一旦发生就立即结束。这类动词有：go, come, arrive, leave, begin, start, join, marry, buy, die 等。瞬间动词可以用于现在完成时，但在肯定句中不能和表示一段时间的状语连用。如for 和since 所引导的时间状语都表示一段时间，那就要将瞬间动词转化为表延续的动词或者表状态的形式，就可以与表示一段的时间状语连用。如：His father has died since he was born.就是一个错误的句子，必须转化为：His father has been dead since he was born.

Tom looked up and said, “It’s too high! I can’t reach it.”

Tom called another student and stood on his shoulders (肩膀) to reach the branch. “I still can’t reach it, sir,” said Tom sadly after the first try.
“Don’t you have more friends ” the teacher smiled.

Then one of the friends went home, brought a ladder (梯子) and Tom finally picked the apple.
After getting the apple, the teacher asked, “So, do you understand how many friends a person needs ”
“Yes, I do,” Tom said. “Many, so together we can work out any problem.”

B
Have you heard of the saying “If you fall off the horse, get back on.” It means that things may get difficult, and you may make many mistakes. But you should have the passion (激情) and energy to keep going. This is called perseverance (毅力). It can help you get a lot of things.
Perseverance means keeping doing something for a long time. It doesn’t matter whether it is easy or difficult. For example, you practise a trick on your bike again and again. Or you finish a picture without giving up. These show perseverance. Florence, a 13-year-old girl, says, “It means never giving up and trying hard to push yourself. I go running with my mum three times a week. Sometimes I feel good and sometimes I don’t. But I still do it because I want to be the fastest in my class. Whether in good situations or bad ones, we need perseverance.”
Studies show that when you feel hopeful and work for a goal you really want, it can reduce stress (压力) and make you feel happier. When you get something you worked hard for and face difficulties on the way, it can develop your confidence and make you feel braver to try new things. Angela Duckworth is an expert (专家) on people’s thoughts and feelings. She studies perseverance and calls it “grit”. She thinks that having grit is really important for us to succeed. She says, “No matter how talented (有天赋的) you are at something or how well you do in school, you must have grit. When things are hard, perseverance is even more important. It can help you get past the hard times and reach your goals.” Duckworth believes perseverance is something anyone can learn. The best way to learn it is to have a growth mind. This means believing that your brain can grow. You can get anything if you put your mind to it. As the book The Big Life Journal says, “People with a growth idea know they can get better by working hard. They keep trying even when things are difficult.”
47．Why does the writer take Florence for example in Paragraph 2
A．To introduce what perseverance means. B．To talk about how to train running skills.
C．To present the advantages of perseverance. D．To show the importance of staying with parents.

B．Talent is the most important for us to succeed.
C．Being clever will help us do well in our lessons.
D．Knowing we can get better helps us develop grit.

A．What perseverance means. B．What perseverance includes.
C．How to practice perseverance. D．How perseverance is good for you.

Are you the type of person who sticks to something once you have made your mind up Do you set your heart and mind on something and then go for it without stopping Have you ever been described as strong-minded
If so, you are probably a very determined character. Determination is about moving forward to achieve your goals and not giving up when you meet difficulties. It is the willpower that helps you control yourself and achieve what you want. It is an inner strength (内在力量) that helps us to stay on course and reach our goals, no matter what.
Being determined is a very good quality to have. So how can we become determined
Learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of those around you. Learn to look at the past as training for the future. Use those mistakes as a chance to learn something new.
Don’t be scared of failing. Failures are just stepping stones on the road to success. What you should be scared of is not giving your goal 100% effort. Just think about how you will feel if you give up on it.
Don’t waste time worrying about the things you can’t change. Use your strength and your determination to achieve things that you can control.
Be patient. The road to your goal may be long and arduous at times and you need to make great efforts on the way. Sometimes determination is about being prepared to wait for the right chance, and being ready when it comes up.
Don’t stand in your own way. This means believing in yourself and not setting limits (限制) on yourself. To do something you’ve never done before, you need to become someone you’ve never been before. You have to be prepared to make changes.

阅读短文，根据题目要求完成各小题。
Learn to Love Yourself
Do you ever compare yourself to other people and wish you could be more like them We are all different in our own way. Self-acceptance (自我接纳) can help you feel happier and better about yourself.
What is self-acceptance
Self-acceptance means learning to accept the things that make you who you are. As well as being thankful for what you’re good at, like sports, science or singing in the school choir, self-acceptance also means valuing (重视) the parts of you that don’t shine very brightly, like being forgetful or untidy. A 12-year-old girl, Lily, says self-acceptance means “knowing your own weaknesses and strengths (强项), and accepting who you are no matter what other people say or think.”
Why is self-acceptance good for you
When you accept who you are, you worry less about things you can’t change. This makes you feel happier and more confident (自信的). The Anna Freud Centre, a charity (慈善机构) that helps young people, says everyone can feel that they have to be perfect, but that makes us forget about the little things that make us special, because we’re so busy trying to meet someone else’s standards. Learning to accept everything about yourself can also help you find what you’re really good at. For example, some people may find letters or numbers hard to read, but they might have strengths in other things, like finding good ways to work out problems.
5._________________________
Start by making a list of all the things you like about yourself. Maybe you’re good at cooking, or people find it easy to talk to you. Also, try saying kind, happy things to yourself in a mirror (镜子) every morning.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了史密斯先生从冷漠到友善的转变过程，展现了邻里之间的温情与包容。
73．句意：他住在一栋公寓楼的四楼。根据句意，此处表示“第四层”，需用序数词形式。four的序数词是fourth“第四”。故填fourth。
74．句意：他对邻居如此不礼貌，以至于没人知道他的名字。后文提到“He never said hello to anyone.”，说明他“不礼貌”，需用polite的反义词impolite“不礼貌的”。故填impolite。
75．句意：不是说恭喜，他反而冲他们大声吼道：“太糟糕了！你们家孩子哭了一整晚！”修饰动词shouted需用副词形式，loud的副词是loudly“大声地”。故填loudly。
76．句意：一天，当他正要离开公寓时，注意到他放在门外的垃圾不见了。全文为过去时，notice“注意”需用过去式noticed。故填noticed。
77．句意：“早上好，史密斯先生。我路过你的公寓，看到你的垃圾在这儿。”pass by为固定搭配，意为“经过”。故填by。
78．句意：“我帮你捡起来了。”pick up后需接宾语，应用“it”的人称代词宾格“it”，指代前文的“rubbish”。故填it。
79．句意：史密斯先生不想接受大卫的好意。accept后接名词作宾语，kind的名词形式是kindness“好意”。故填kindness。
80．句意：“我们的儿子不舒服，所以他哭了很久。”前后句为因果关系，需用so“所以”连接。故填so。
81．句意：“我们将尽力确保不再给您带来任何麻烦。”try one’s best为固定搭配，意为“尽力”。故填best。
82．句意：从那时起，他以友善的态度对待每个人，所到之处都传播着欢乐与温暖。spread与主语he是主动关系，此处应用现在分词“spreading”，作伴随状语。故填spreading。
