A friend recently treated me to a preview of her planned trip to Italy. After making tea for me, she laid out the itinerary (行程) in military order — the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, Pompeii, Venice, the Appian Way, etc. By the time she was done I was worn out, and I hadn’t even set foot outside the house.
I do wish her an enjoyable journey. It’s just that my method of travel is very different. The extent of my planning is generally to identify a destination and then go there, casting fortune to the wind. This may not be for everybody, but jumping into the unknown, for me, has proven its fair share of benefits.
The examples are legion. There was Greenland, where I wound up in a small settlement without a place to stay. The locals took me in, and I had the pleasure of eating supper with three generations of an Inuit family while they entertained me with fantastic stories one would not find in any guidebook.
A few years back, driving through Iceland on a windswept day, I noticed an older woman sitting by herself at a picnic table by a waterfall. I stopped, approached her, and asked if I could sit with her. She turned out to be a fountain of knowledge about the area, which we had all to ourselves, without a tourist in sight. And there are more stories like that.
For me, travel reflects the way I perceive my own environment here in Maine, the US. Once winter comes to an end and the ice clears from the waterways, I seek out a pond, lake, or river previously unknown to me. That’s where I set my boat, and I begin to paddle (劃船) with my eyes and ears open, anticipating the hidden surprises. I’m able to relate to something British explorer Richard Burton once said: “The gladdest moment in human life, methinks, is a departure into unknown lands.”
4. What made the author worn out
A. A military order.
B. His recent trip to Italy.
C. His friend’s highly detailed plan.
D. The complicated way of making tea.
5. What does the underlined word “l(fā)egion“ in paragraph 3 mean
A. Numerous.
B. Appropriate.
C. Shocking.
D. Welcome.
6. How did the author probably feel sitting with the older woman
A. Anxious and helpless
B. Proud and ambitious.
C. Scared and confused.
D. Curious and grateful.
7. What is stressed in the last paragraph
A. The influence of Richard Burton.
B. The environment in Maine, the US.
C. The author’s appreciation of lands.
D. The author’s desire for the unknown.

It’s rare that researchers question theories that make up the backbone of whole fields. But in Evolution Evolving, Kevin Lala and four other evolutionary biologists do just that.
Their philosophically informed discussion challenges the textbook version of evolutionary theory, the natural selection of DNA mutations (突變), which arise at random. Lala and colleagues argue that how an organism develops also plays a central part in evolution. They have been advocating this extended evolutionary theory for more than a decade, adding depth to evolutionary theorizing.
The authors explain how development — influenced by the conditions in which organisms live — drives how an organism looks, behaves and evolves. To demonstrate this, they give the example of the Mexican tetra fish Astyanax mexicanus.
Some populations of A. mexicanus are blind cave fish living in darkness. Other, genetically distinct, consist of sighted, surface dwellers (棲身者). If the surface-dwelling fish are kept in total darkness for two years, they develop traits similar to those of the blind cave fish, including a better ability to store fat — beneficial in a dark environment, where the next meal is hard to come by. The stress of darkness seems to activate sets of genes that change the fishes’ development.
New traits do not arise at random. Some are more likely than others. Understanding such “developmental biases” can enable researchers to better understand how traits originate and what directions future evolution might take. As the authors put it, “evolution must proceed where development leads.”
Another aspect of evolution often ignored or downplayed by traditional evolutionists is the passing down of traits through generations in ways that do not involve variations in DNA structure. Furthermore, some organisms construct environments to benefit the development of following generations. Dung beetles, for instance, make balls of cow waste, into which they add their own waste as food, and lay a single egg. The nutrients and microbes in these balls influence how the young develop, and in turn the sizes and shapes of the beetles and how they evolve.
In my opinion, this is a fundamental shift in thinking. Rather than just studying which traits are selected, evolutionary researchers also need to establish the developmental construction and inheritance (遺傳) of these traits.
8. Why is the Mexican tetra fish talked about
A. To criticize the limitations of evolution theory.
B. To compare blind cave fish and surface-dwelling fish.
C. To explain how DNA mutations occur randomly.
D. To provide evidence for developmental choices.
9. How do Dung Beetles evolve
A. By constructing nutrient-rich environments.
B. By passing down mutated genes in cow waste.
C. By varying their DNA through added microbes.
D. By selecting specific traits via natural selection.
10. What should future evolutionary research focus on
A. Identifying more random DNA mutations.
B. Providing traditional theories experiments.
C Studying what traits are selected in evolution.
D. Clarifying the development of non-genetic traits.
11. What is the article mainly about
A. Traditional evolutionary theory should be replaced.
B. The Mexican tetra fish is the result of natural selection
C. Non-DNA inheritance plays a significant role in evolution.
D Random DNA mutations remain the sole driver of evolution.

After 20 years of efforts, a 26-foot-tall statue of Atlas is once again standing guard at the ancient Temple of Zeus in the city of Agrigento in Sicily. The statue, created in the fifth century B.C.E., was one of 38 similar Atlas monuments built into the temple. They stood in a line between columns with their arms raised, appearing to hold the structure upright.
In Greek mythology (神話), Atlas ignored orders from Zeus, the ruler of the universe, in a war. So, he was forced to hold up the sky on his shoulders. Unlike the mythological Atlas, however, the stone likenesses were unable to hold up Zeus’ temple forever. Ultimately, earthquakes and other events caused the structure to collapse.
For many years, pieces of the statues were spread out around the site amongst other ancient ruins. In 1812, Charles Robert Cockerell, a British architect, first identified one of these sandstone heads during a visit to Agrigento. A century later, in 1920, archaeologist Pirro Marconi became the first person to attempt to reconstruct one of the Atlases, which is now housed in the Archaeological Museum of Agrigento. The seeds of the current project began in 2004, when the Valley of the Temples Park conducted a research campaign at the site.
But restoring Atlas in a standing position was particularly challenging, as researchers couldn’t simply pile the pieces of the statue on top of one another. Instead, they attached them to metal shelves, which are supported by a larger metal structure.
The restoration has faced scrutiny (審查) ever since officials first announced it several years ago. “No archaeologist would agree on the use of ancient sculpture even if the purpose is to highlight the site’s antiquity,” said C. Brian Rose, an archaeologist at the University of Pennsylvania. But offcials like Renato Schifani, the Sicilian governor, think that the statue’s restoration is a substantial and impressive achievement.
“This statue of ancient Agrigento, which after many years of studies and research we can observe in its natural position, is the heart of an important museum project of the entire area of the Temple of Zeus,” Schifani said.
12. Why did Atlas stand with his arms upright
A. It was a tradition in Greek mythology.
B. It was a sign of celebration in a war.
C It was a punishment from Zeus.
D. It was a symbol of strength.
13. What can be inferred about Marconi
A. He was a famous architect and archaeologist.
B. He made a new discovery at the Temple of Zeus.
C. He once worked with Cockerell for over a decade.
D. He was committed to restoring historical treasures.
14. Which of the following best describes Rose’s tone
A. Optimistic.
B. Disapproving.
C. Tolerant.
D. Uncaring.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. A towering statue of Atlas rises again.
B. Sicily is known for its ancient temples.
C. The existence of Atlas in history proves true.
D. The Archaeological Museum of Agrigento reopens.

My brother, Mat, is a skateboarder through and through. He always has been and always will be, and along with that comes determination. Anytime he falls, he gets right back up and tries again. Even when he gets hurt, he just ignores the pain and keeps skating. He has always been such an inspiration to me because of his strong determination.
One particular day, we were out in front of my grandparents’ house. Mat was determined to leap over a chair that he had placed in the street. I watched him try over and over again. Deep down, I was thinking, if he really wants to jump over that chair so badly, why doesn’t he just put down that board with wheels on it, and do it If you knew my brother, you would know that he wouldn’t stop until he successfully jumped on his skateboard over that chair many times.
I could see him sweating. As usual, it was a hot Texas day. I was worried that he would get heatstroke (中暑). Even though I was only about five, I had heard adults talk about people dying from heatstroke, and I kind of understood what it meant. I really didn’t want my living, yet hardheaded, brother to get it.
So there I was, my face cupped in my hands, sitting on the porch (走廊) of my grandparents’ house, worrying about my Mat and thinking of ways to keep him cool.
“Hey Brit, could you get me my tea ”
I replied to his request with a nod and stood up to fetch the iced tea. Even through my plastic pink slippers, I could feel the extreme heat of the concrete steps. It was burning my feet, so I quickly went inside the house.
I headed through the hallway toward Grandma’s kitchen, on a mission. As I was walking toward my grandma, hoping to surprise her, she turned around. At that moment, I heard the most frightening sound I had ever heard in my young life.
“What was that ” Grandma asked. “Did Mat scream ”
“I don’t know. I’ll go see.”
注意:1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150個左右；
2. 請按如下格式相應位置作答。
As I ran toward the front door, I had one thing on my mind — heatstroke.

A friend recently treated me to a preview of her planned trip to Italy. After making tea for me, she laid out the itinerary (行程) in military order — the Colosseum, the Sistine Chapel, Pompeii, Venice, the Appian Way, etc. By the time she was done I was worn out, and I hadn’t even set foot outside the house.
I do wish her an enjoyable journey. It’s just that my method of travel is very different. The extent of my planning is generally to identify a destination and then go there, casting fortune to the wind. This may not be for everybody, but jumping into the unknown, for me, has proven its fair share of benefits.
The examples are legion. There was Greenland, where I wound up in a small settlement without a place to stay. The locals took me in, and I had the pleasure of eating supper with three generations of an Inuit family while they entertained me with fantastic stories one would not find in any guidebook.
A few years back, driving through Iceland on a windswept day, I noticed an older woman sitting by herself at a picnic table by a waterfall. I stopped, approached her, and asked if I could sit with her. She turned out to be a fountain of knowledge about the area, which we had all to ourselves, without a tourist in sight. And there are more stories like that.
For me, travel reflects the way I perceive my own environment here in Maine, the US. Once winter comes to an end and the ice clears from the waterways, I seek out a pond, lake, or river previously unknown to me. That’s where I set my boat, and I begin to paddle (劃船) with my eyes and ears open, anticipating the hidden surprises. I’m able to relate to something British explorer Richard Burton once said: “The gladdest moment in human life, methinks, is a departure into unknown lands.”
4. What made the author worn out
A. A military order.
B. His recent trip to Italy.
C. His friend’s highly detailed plan.
D. The complicated way of making tea.
5 What does the underlined word “l(fā)egion“ in paragraph 3 mean
A. Numerous.
B. Appropriate.
C. Shocking.
D. Welcome.
6. How did the author probably feel sitting with the older woman
A. Anxious and helpless
B. Proud and ambitious.
C. Scared and confused.
D. Curious and grateful.
7. What is stressed in the last paragraph
A. The influence of Richard Burton.
B. The environment in Maine, the US.
C. The author’s appreciation of lands.
D. The author’s desire for the unknown.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】

The locals took me in, and I had the pleasure of eating supper with three generations of an Inuit family while they entertained me with fantastic stories one would not find in any guidebook. (有一次在格陵蘭島，我最終來到了一個沒有住處的小定居點。當?shù)厝耸樟袅宋遥液芨吲d能和因紐特家庭的三代人一起吃晚飯，他們給我講了一些在任何旅游指南中都找不到的精彩故事)”以及下文作者在冰島的經(jīng)歷可知，作者有很多這樣旅行中意外收獲的故事，由此可推知，劃線詞所在句意為“這樣的例子數(shù)不勝數(shù)”，legion意為“大量的，眾多的”。故選A項。
【6題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中“I stopped, approached her, and asked if I could sit with her. She turned out to be a fountain of knowledge about the area, which we had all to ourselves, without a tourist in sight. (我停下腳步，走近她，問她是否可以和她坐在一起。結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)她對這個地區(qū)了如指掌，而且這里只有我們兩個人，連一個游客都看不到)”可推知，作者和這位老婦人坐在一起時，可能感到好奇和感激，因為從她那里學到了很多關(guān)于這個地區(qū)的知識。故選D項。
【7題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Once winter comes to an end and the ice clears from the waterways, I seek out a pond, lake, or river previously unknown to me. That’s where I set my boat, and I begin to paddle (劃船) with my eyes and ears open, anticipating the hidden surprises. I’m able to relate to something British explorer Richard Burton once said: “The gladdest moment in human life, methinks, is a departure into unknown lands.” (一旦冬天結(jié)束，水道上的冰融化，我就會去尋找一個我以前不知道的池塘、湖泊或河流。那就是我放船的地方，我開始睜大眼睛、豎起耳朵劃船，期待著隱藏的驚喜。我能理解英國探險家理查德·伯頓曾經(jīng)說過的一句話：“我認為，人生中最快樂的時刻，就是踏上未知的土地。”)”可推知，最后一段強調(diào)了作者對未知的渴望。故選D項。
C
It’s rare that researchers question theories that make up the backbone of whole fields. But in Evolution Evolving, Kevin Lala and four other evolutionary biologists do just that.
Their philosophically informed discussion challenges the textbook version of evolutionary theory, the natural selection of DNA mutations (突變), which arise at random. Lala and colleagues argue that how an organism develops also plays a central part in evolution. They have been advocating this extended evolutionary theory for more than a decade, adding depth to evolutionary theorizing.
The authors explain how development — influenced by the conditions in which organisms live — drives how an organism looks, behaves and evolves. To demonstrate this, they give the example of the Mexican tetra fish Astyanax mexicanus.
Some populations of A. mexicanus are blind cave fish living in darkness. Other, genetically distinct, consist of sighted, surface dwellers (棲身者). If the surface-dwelling fish are kept in total darkness for two years, they develop traits similar to those of the blind cave fish, including a better ability to store fat — beneficial in a dark environment, where the next meal is hard to come by. The stress of darkness seems to activate sets of genes that change the fishes’ development.
New traits do not arise at random. Some are more likely than others. Understanding such “developmental biases” can enable researchers to better understand how traits originate and what directions future evolution might take. As the authors put it, “evolution must proceed where development leads.”
Another aspect of evolution often ignored or downplayed by traditional evolutionists is the passing down of traits through generations in ways that do not involve variations in DNA structure. Furthermore, some organisms construct environments to benefit the development of following generations. Dung beetles, for instance, make balls of cow waste, into which they add their own waste as food, and lay a single egg. The nutrients and microbes in these balls influence how the young develop, and in turn the sizes and shapes of the beetles and how they evolve.
In my opinion, this is a fundamental shift in thinking. Rather than just studying which traits are selected, evolutionary researchers also need to establish the developmental construction and inheritance (遺傳) of these traits.
8. Why is the Mexican tetra fish talked about
A. To criticize the limitations of evolution theory.
B. To compare blind cave fish and surface-dwelling fish.
C. To explain how DNA mutations occur randomly.
D. To provide evidence for developmental choices.
9. How do Dung Beetles evolve
A. By constructing nutrient-rich environments.
B. By passing down mutated genes in cow waste.
C. By varying their DNA through added microbes.
D. By selecting specific traits via natural selection.
10. What should future evolutionary research focus on
A. Identifying more random DNA mutations.
B. Providing traditional theories experiments.
C Studying what traits are selected in evolution.
D. Clarifying the development of non-genetic traits.
11. What is the article mainly about
A. Traditional evolutionary theory should be replaced.
B. The Mexican tetra fish is the result of natural selection
C. Non-DNA inheritance plays a significant role in evolution.
D. Random DNA mutations remain the sole driver of evolution.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇議論文。文章主要討論了進化理論，挑戰(zhàn)了傳統(tǒng)的基于DNA隨機突變的自然選擇理論，強調(diào)了生物體發(fā)展和非DNA遺傳在進化中的重要作用。
【8題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“The authors explain how development — influenced by the conditions in which organisms live — drives how an organism looks, behaves and evolves. To demonstrate this, they give the example of the Mexican tetra fish Astyanax mexicanus.(作者們闡述了環(huán)境如何影響生物的發(fā)育過程，進而塑造其形態(tài)、行為和進化路徑。為說明這一點，他們以墨西哥盲魚為例進行了分析)”可知，提到墨西哥盲魚是為了為發(fā)展選擇提供證據(jù)。故選D項。
【9題詳解】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“Furthermore, some organisms construct environments to benefit the development of following generations. Dung beetles, for instance, make balls of cow waste, into which they add their own waste as food, and lay a single egg. The nutrients and microbes in these balls influence how the young develop, and in turn the sizes and shapes of the beetles and how they evolve.(此外，一些生物會構(gòu)建有利于后代發(fā)育的環(huán)境。例如，蜣螂會制作牛糞球，它們會在里面添加自己的糞便作為食物，然后產(chǎn)一枚卵。這些糞球中的營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)和微生物會影響幼蟲的發(fā)育，進而影響甲蟲的大小、形狀以及它們的進化方式)”可知，蜣螂通過構(gòu)建營養(yǎng)豐富的環(huán)境來影響幼蟲的發(fā)育，達到進化的目的。故選A項。
【10題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“The authors explain how development — influenced by the conditions in which organisms live — drives how an organism looks, behaves and evolves.(作者闡述了生物所處環(huán)境如何影響其發(fā)展過程，進而決定了該生物的外形特征、行為模式及進化方向)”和第六段中“Another aspect of evolution often ignored or downplayed by traditional evolutionists is the passing down of traits through generations in ways that do not involve variations in DNA structure. Furthermore, some organisms construct environments to benefit the development of following generations.(傳統(tǒng)進化論學者常常忽視或弱化進化的另一個面向——某些特征的代際傳遞并不依賴DNA結(jié)構(gòu)變異。更甚者，部分生物會主動構(gòu)建有利于后代發(fā)育的環(huán)境)”可知，文章強調(diào)了生物所處環(huán)境和生物主動構(gòu)建在生物體發(fā)展中的重要作用。結(jié)合最后一段中“In my opinion, this is a fundamental shift in thinking. Rather than just studying which traits are selected, evolutionary researchers also need to establish the developmental construction and inheritance (遺傳) of these traits.(在我看來，這是思維的根本轉(zhuǎn)變。進化研究人員不僅要研究哪些特征被選擇，還需要確定這些特征的發(fā)展構(gòu)建和遺傳)”可推知，因為思維的轉(zhuǎn)變，所以未來的進化研究應專注于闡明非遺傳特征的發(fā)展。故選D項。
【11題詳解】
主旨大意題。通讀全文，結(jié)合第二段“Their philosophically informed discussion challenges the textbook version of evolutionary theory, the natural selection of DNA mutations (突變), which arise at random. Lala and colleagues argue that how an organism develops also plays a central part in evolution. They have been advocating this extended evolutionary theory for more than a decade, adding depth to evolutionary theorizing.(他們從哲學視角切入的論述，對教科書式的進化論提出了挑戰(zhàn)——傳統(tǒng)理論認為DNA隨機突變的自然選擇是進化核心。拉拉與同事們提出，生物體的發(fā)育過程同樣是進化的關(guān)鍵驅(qū)動力。十余年來，他們始終倡導這一拓展的進化理論，為進化論研究增添了新的理論維度)”和倒數(shù)第二段中“Another aspect of evolution often ignored or downplayed by traditional evolutionists is the passing down of traits through generations in ways that do not involve variations in DNA structure.(傳統(tǒng)進化論者經(jīng)常忽視或淡化的進化的另一個方面是，特征以不涉及DNA結(jié)構(gòu)變異的方式代代相傳)”可知，本文主要介紹了生物體的發(fā)育過程同樣是進化的關(guān)鍵驅(qū)動力，強調(diào)了非DNA遺傳在進化中起著重要作用。故選C項。

After 20 years of efforts, a 26-foot-tall statue of Atlas is once again standing guard at the ancient Temple of Zeus in the city of Agrigento in Sicily. The statue, created in the fifth century B.C.E., was one of 38 similar Atlas monuments built into the temple. They stood in a line between columns with their arms raised, appearing to hold the structure upright.
In Greek mythology (神話), Atlas ignored orders from Zeus, the ruler of the universe, in a war. So, he was forced to hold up the sky on his shoulders. Unlike the mythological Atlas, however, the stone likenesses were unable to hold up Zeus’ temple forever. Ultimately, earthquakes and other events caused the structure to collapse.
For many years, pieces of the statues were spread out around the site amongst other ancient ruins. In 1812, Charles Robert Cockerell, a British architect, first identified one of these sandstone heads during a visit to Agrigento. A century later, in 1920, archaeologist Pirro Marconi became the first person to attempt to reconstruct one of the Atlases, which is now housed in the Archaeological Museum of Agrigento. The seeds of the current project began in 2004, when the Valley of the Temples Park conducted a research campaign at the site.
But restoring Atlas in a standing position was particularly challenging, as researchers couldn’t simply pile the pieces of the statue on top of one another. Instead, they attached them to metal shelves, which are supported by a larger metal structure.
The restoration has faced scrutiny (審查) ever since officials first announced it several years ago. “No archaeologist would agree on the use of ancient sculpture even if the purpose is to highlight the site’s antiquity,” said C. Brian Rose, an archaeologist at the University of Pennsylvania. But offcials like Renato Schifani, the Sicilian governor, think that the statue’s restoration is a substantial and impressive achievement.
“This statue of ancient Agrigento, which after many years of studies and research we can observe in its natural position, is the heart of an important museum project of the entire area of the Temple of Zeus,” Schifani said.
12. Why did Atlas stand with his arms upright
A. It was a tradition in Greek mythology.
B. It was a sign of celebration in a war.
C. It was a punishment from Zeus.
D. It was a symbol of strength.
13 What can be inferred about Marconi
A. He was a famous architect and archaeologist.
B. He made a new discovery at the Temple of Zeus.
C. He once worked with Cockerell for over a decade.
D. He was committed to restoring historical treasures.
14. Which of the following best describes Rose’s tone
A. Optimistic.
B. Disapproving.
C. Tolerant.
D. Uncaring.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. A towering statue of Atlas rises again.
B. Sicily is known for its ancient temples.
C. The existence of Atlas in history proves true.
D. The Archaeological Museum of Agrigento reopens.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“In Greek mythology (神話), Atlas ignored orders from Zeus, the ruler of the universe, in a war. So, he was forced to hold up the sky on his shoulders. (在希臘神話中，阿特拉斯在一場戰(zhàn)爭中無視宇宙統(tǒng)治者宙斯的命令。因此，他被迫用肩膀撐起天空)”可知，阿特拉斯雙臂直立站著是因為這是宙斯對他的懲罰。故選C項。
【13題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“A century later, in 1920, archaeologist Pirro Marconi became the first person to attempt to reconstruct one of the Atlases, which is now housed in the Archaeological Museum of Agrigento. (一個世紀后的1920年，考古學家皮羅·馬可尼成為第一個嘗試重建其中一尊阿特拉斯雕像的人，這尊雕像現(xiàn)在收藏在阿格里真托考古博物館)”可推知，馬可尼致力于修復歷史文物。故選D項。
【14題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中““No archaeologist would agree on the use of ancient sculpture even if the purpose is to highlight the site’s antiquity,” said C. Brian Rose, an archaeologist at the University of Pennsylvania. (賓夕法尼亞大學的考古學家C·布萊恩·羅斯說：“即使目的是為了突出該遺址的古老，也沒有考古學家會同意使用古代雕塑。”)”可推知，羅斯的語氣是不贊成的。故選B項。
【15題詳解】
主旨大意題。通讀全文，尤其是第一段第一句“After 20 years of efforts, a 26-foot-tall statue of Atlas is once again standing guard at the ancient Temple of Zeus in the city of Agrigento in Sicily.

A person with a growth mindset believes that failure is not the end — it’s just part of the learning process. A growth mindset makes independent learning easier and more rewarding. ___16___ Instead of seeing challenges as barriers, you’ll see them as opportunities to grow! Here are some practical ways to develop a growth mindset and make the most of your independent learning journey.
Focus on learning, not just results. It’s important to shift your focus from grades or final outcomes to the skills and knowledge you’re building along the way. Set learning-oriented goals instead of only focusing on performance-related ones. Even if you don’t achieve the result you hope for, reflect on what you’ve learned and how you’ve improved. ___17___
Make the most of every opportunity. Even if you find a subject difficult or less interesting, focus on small wins. ___18___ Progress may be slow, but every step gets you closer to your goal.
___19___ Everyone learns in different ways. If you’re struggling, take a step back and reflect on your approach. Are there different study techniques you could try Do you need a more structured routine or additional support Don’t hesitate to ask for help when you need it.
Enjoy the process. Learning is a journey, and it’s not about how quickly you get there, it’s about what you learn on the way. No matter what you do, mistakes are going to happen, so embrace them. ___20___ The more you engage, the better your understanding will be in the long run.
A. Find out what works for you.
B. Celebrate progress, no matter how small.
C. With a solid plan, you can focus on what matters most.
D. How you move forward is a part of the learning process.
E. You can develop a growth mindset to improve your learning.
F. Rather than giving up, aim to improve just a little each day.
G. No matter what you learn, the key to success lies in your mindset.

【16題詳解】
由上文“A growth mindset makes independent learning easier and more rewarding. (成長型思維使自主學習更容易且更有收獲。)”可知，此處需進一步說明“培養(yǎng)成長型思維”與“提升學習”的直接關(guān)聯(lián)。E項You can develop a growth mindset to improve your learning. (你可以培養(yǎng)成長型思維來改善你的學習。) 通過“develop a growth mindset”直接呼應上文，明確“培養(yǎng)心態(tài)”是“改善學習”的手段，引出后文“具體方法”的論述，起到承上啟下的作用。故選E項。
【17題詳解】
由上文“Even if you don’t achieve the result you hope for, reflect on what you’ve learned and how you’ve improved. (即使你沒有達到期望的結(jié)果，也要反思你學到了什么以及如何進步的。)”可知，此處需強調(diào)“認可進步”的重要性。B項Celebrate progress, no matter how small. (慶祝進步，無論多么微小。) 通過“Celebrate progress”呼應“反思進步”的行為，“no matter how small”強化“過程重于結(jié)果”的理念，與前文“聚焦學習而非成績”的邏輯一致。故選B項。
【18題詳解】
由上文“focus on small wins (關(guān)注小成就)”及下文“Progress may be slow, but every step gets you closer to your goal. (進展可能緩慢，但每一步都讓你更接近目標。)”可知，此處需說明如何通過持續(xù)行動積累“小成就”。F項Rather than giving up, aim to improve just a little each day. (與其放棄，不如每天爭取進步一點點。)通過“improve just a little each day”具體落實“small wins”的理念，“rather than giving up”對應“遇到困難學科”的場景，與“every step”形成“每日積累→最終目標”的遞進關(guān)系。故選F項。
【19題詳解】
由下文“Everyone learns in different ways. If you’re struggling, take a step back and reflect on your approach. (每個人都以不同的方式學習。如果你正在掙扎，退一步反思一下你的方法。)”可知，此處需總述“尋找適合自己的學習方法”。A項 Find out what works for you. (找出適合你的方法。) 以祈使句形式點明段落核心，“what works for you”直接概括后文“嘗試不同技巧、調(diào)整計劃”的建議，作為段落首句統(tǒng)領(lǐng)全段，符合“總述→分述”的結(jié)構(gòu)。故選A項。
【20題詳解】
由上文“mistakes are going to happen, so embrace them. (錯誤總會發(fā)生，所以要擁抱它們。)”可知，此處需進一步說明“錯誤與學習過程的關(guān)系”。D項How you move forward is a part of the learning process. (你如何前進是學習過程的一部分。) 通過“move forward”指代“從錯誤中學習的行動”，“l(fā)earning process”呼應全文“重視過程”的主題，強調(diào)“應對錯誤的方式”本身即是學習的一部分，與后文“參與越多，理解越深”形成邏輯閉環(huán)。故選D項。

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
My brother, Mat, is a skateboarder through and through. He always has been and always will be, and along with that comes determination. Anytime he falls, he gets right back up and tries again. Even when he gets hurt, he just ignores the pain and keeps skating. He has always been such an inspiration to me because of his strong determination.
One particular day, we were out in front of my grandparents’ house. Mat was determined to leap over a chair that he had placed in the street. I watched him try over and over again. Deep down, I was thinking, if he really wants to jump over that chair so badly, why doesn’t he just put down that board with wheels on it, and do it If you knew my brother, you would know that he wouldn’t stop until he successfully jumped on his skateboard over that chair many times.
I could see him sweating. As usual, it was a hot Texas day. I was worried that he would get heatstroke (中暑). Even though I was only about five, I had heard adults talk about people dying from heatstroke, and I kind of understood what it meant. I really didn’t want my living, yet hardheaded, brother to get it.
So there I was, my face cupped in my hands, sitting on the porch (走廊) of my grandparents’ house, worrying about my Mat and thinking of ways to keep him cool.
“Hey Brit, could you get me my tea ”
I replied to his request with a nod and stood up to fetch the iced tea. Even through my plastic pink slippers, I could feel the extreme heat of the concrete steps. It was burning my feet, so I quickly went inside the house.
I headed through the hallway toward Grandma’s kitchen, on a mission. As I was walking toward my grandma, hoping to surprise her, she turned around. At that moment, I heard the most frightening sound I had ever heard in my young life.
“What was that ” Grandma asked. “Did Mat scream ”
“I don’t know. I’ll go see.”
注意:1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150個左右；
2. 請按如下格式在相應位置作答。
As I ran toward the front door, I had one thing on my mind — heatstroke.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After about a month in the hospital, Mat came home.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
As I ran toward the front door, I had one thing on my mind — heatstroke. Then I saw something that will forever be burned into my mind. My big brother lay motionless on the ground. I rushed to him to see what was wrong. Grandma was far ahead of me, running as fast as she could. When she got there, she told me to wait inside. Neighbors began coming out of their houses to see what had happened. An ambulance was called immediately, and when the medical team arrived, they hurriedly took Mat to hospital.
After about a month in the hospital, Mat came home. The doctors had said he might never walk again, let alone skate. But Mat beat the odds. Driven by his determination to get better, he transformed his life. He eventually became one of the best skateboarders in our city. Mat’s experience changed my perspective on life. I now see every challenge as an opportunity for growth. I’m always looking on the bright side. And that’s the most important lesson I’ve learned from my brother — the steely determination of a skater.
