　　These days, seemingly everyone is creating their own business. People are talking about entrepreneurship as if once you start your own business, everything will flow smoothly for the rest of your life. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case.
My story of building resilience (復原力) in business began when I was an employee years ago, tired of working for someone else. I wanted to start my own business, so as a musician myself, I came up with the concept of helping other musicians with their business.
It was not an easy time. I had to count pennies to feed myself. But slowly, through word-of-mouth spread, not only among musicians, but small businesses as well, I was developing a client base. After years of hard work, eventually my company now serves 500 companies.
As a musician, I decided to create a music and film project called X: The Human Condition. It was my message in a bottle—you are not alone. I wanted to inspire people who felt disconnected, alienated, different.
I had to fund it myself because out of all the people I approached in the entertainment industry, they all said it would be impossible and nobody wanted to invest. But I was determined to prove them wrong. Over 12 years, I struggled to get the project off the ground. I almost went broke and became so ill that I nearly lost my vision permanently. I overcame every obstacle that was put in front of me, and after 12 years I was able to release the project successfully. The experiences with adversity led me to create the website, Rise UpAgain.org, a community of people from all over the world overcoming difficulties and sharing their stories to inspire others.
When it comes to entrepreneurship, expect the unexpected. Regardless, be aware that there is no shortcut to building resilience. Mastering adversity is one thing that must be learned through trial and error. But the important thing to note is that when you do go through adversity, never think of it as your enemy, but think of it as your ally.
24.What can we learn about the author
A.He was a successful musician.　　　　B.He longed to be a boss.
C.He changed his career path.　　　　D.His business ran smoothly.
25.Why did the author start the project X: The Human Condition
A.To send a message in a bottle.　　　　B.To fund the homeless people.
C.To promote musical films.　　　　D.To encourage those in adversity.
26.What is the biggest challenge for the author to start his business
A.Health problems.　　　　B.Financial difficulty.
C.Lack of experience.　　　　D.Community objection.
27.What would the author say to new businessmen
A.Try to make some errors.
B.Get used to your expectation.
C.There is no shortcut to success.
D.Difficulties can make you tougher.

　　You're passed over for a job. Your back aches. Faced with difficulties large and small, you wonder if you're an unlucky person. We turned to experts to understand why we believe in luck and how we can have that belief to make changes in our attitude towards life.
Richard Wiseman, a psychology professor, doesn't believe there's anything magical about luck—it won't help you or hurt you. “On the other hand, considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of seeing yourself, which has an impact on how you behave and how you think, and becomes a kind of self-fulfilling anticipation,” he says. “So, in a sense, it absolutely does exist.”
The sociology lecturer Vik Loveday interviewed academic employees who were on temporary contracts, an uncertain situation that caused anxiety. In general, when these academics learned about good news concerning their careers, such as getting a permanent job, they would attribute it to luck. Because they felt they had so little control,a move in a positive direction happened almost by accident, rather than as the result of hard work.
In a 2021 study, Professor Woolley has looked at this idea in childhood and adulthood. For example, basketball player Michael Jordan would wear his college practice shorts under his National Basketball Association uniform for good luck. “Obviously, it is the superstitious (迷信的) custom that gives him confidence and then he plays better,” Woolley says.
Is it possible to change your attitude towards luck to get better outcomes Wiseman believes some steps can improve your luck. He has found “lucky people not only maximize opportunities and know where they're heading, but often change course depending on how the wind is going”. Lucky people can also transform bad experiences into good. Specifically, you can shift your focus towards the positive by keeping a “luck diary”. Also don't be a creature of habit. Watch a different TV program, speak to different people—even small shifts can be effective.
28.What does Wiseman say about luck in Paragraph 2
A.It might be wise to try one's luck.
B.Luck is a magical force to control us.
C.The belief in luck influences our behavior.
D.People's well-being is determined by luck.
29.What is the example of Jordan's lucky shorts used for
A.Confirming Loveday's study.
B.Showing luck exists in real life.
C.Disapproving Woolley's research.
D.Comparing a different kind of luck in sports.
30.How can we improve our luck according to the last paragraph
A.Getting into a routine.　　　　B.Sticking to a goal firmly.
C.Setting down terrible things.　　　　D.Making changes flexibly.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Less Anxiety, More Luck
B.Good or Bad Luck Up to You
C.One Can Stay Lucky Through Life
D.Genius—Mother of Good Luck

　　The Greek historian Herodotus reported over 2,000 years ago on a misguided experiment in which two children were prevented from hearing human speech so that a king could discover the true, unlearned language of human beings.
Scientists now know that human language requires social learning and interaction with other people, a property shared with multiple animal languages. But why should humans and other animals need to learn a language instead of being born with this knowledge
Given that the ways honeybees communicate are quite complex, we decided to study how they learn to communicate to answer this language question.
Bees possess one of the most complicated examples of nonhuman communication. They can tell each other where to find resources such as food, water, or nest sites with a physical “waggle (搖擺) dance”, by circling around in a figure eight pattern centered around a waggle run. This dance conveys the direction, distance and quality of a resource to the bee's nestmates.
Bees begin to dance only as they get older. Could they be learning from practiced teachers
We thus created isolated experimental colonies of bees (蜂群) that could not observe other waggle dances before they themselves danced. Like the ancient experiment described by Herodotus, these bees could not observe the dance language because they were all the same age and had no older, experienced bees to follow. In contrast, our control colonies contained bees of all ages, so younger bees could follow the older, experienced dancers.
We recorded the first dances of the bees. The bees that could not follow the dances of experienced bees produced dances with significantly more directional, distance and order errors than the dances of control bees.
We then tested the same bees later, when they were experienced dancers. Bees who had lacked teachers produced significantly fewer errors, possibly because they had more practice or had learned by eventually following other dancers. The dances of the control bees remained just as good as their first dances.
Complex communication is often difficult to produce even when individuals are born with some knowledge of the correct signals. Bees are born with some knowledge of how to dance, but they have to learn how to dance even better by following experienced bees.
32.Why does the author say the experiment on the two children is a misguided experiment
A.Language learning is a social activity.
B.Language learning has changed greatly.
C.Children are born with human speech.
D.Children develop differently in language.
33.What does the underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph 6 indicate
A.Old bees could not produce waggle dances.
B.Old bees could not observe waggle dances.
C.Young bees were separated from older ones.
D.Young bees could follow experienced bees.
34.What do we know about the bees whose dances remained as good as their first dances
A.They had little practice in waggle dances.
B.They had learned waggle dances without teachers.
C.They were experienced in teaching waggle dances.
D.They had learned waggle dances before their first dances.
35.What does the last paragraph serve as
A.A guide to complex communication.
B.An answer to why language should be learned.
C.An example of nonhuman communication.
D.A proof that bees are born with some knowledge.

　　Everyone knows about straight-A students. Many straight-A students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their low-scoring classmates. Here are some secrets of the young study champions.
36.　　
Top students bear no breaks during study time. Once the books are open or the computer is booted up, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, and snacks ignored. Study is business; business comes before recreation.
Get organized
Paul Melendres, a straight-A freshman from New Mexico, keeps two folders—one for the day's assignments, another for papers completed and graded. 37.　　　 Melendres' methods have actually proven effective. Even students who don't have a private study area remain organized to cut down time-wasting searches.
Clean up your act
Neat papers are likely to get higher grades than sloppy ones. “The student who turns in a neat paper,” says Claude Olney, an Arizona State University business professor, “is already on the way to an A. It's like being served a cheeseburger. 38.　　　”
Speak up
“If I don't understand what my teacher is explaining, I will ask him to repeat it,” says Christopher Campbell. Class participation goes beyond merely asking questions, though. 39.　　　 “Better academic grades come from better understanding,” says Campbell. “I don't want to memorize information for tests only.”
Test yourself
As part of her note-taking, Domenica Roman emphasizes points that she thinks may be covered during exams. 40.　　　 Later she gives herself a written examination before the test day. “If I can't answer the questions satisfactorily, I will go back and review the points,” she says.
A.Set priorities
B.Schedule your time
C.She designs test questions based on them.
D.It's a matter of showing intellectual curiosity.
E.A bag or drawer keeps essential supplies together.
F.Hard work isn't the whole story behind their academic grades.
G.You can't believe it tastes good if it's presented on a dirty plate.

　　Painting had always fascinated Bazan since she was born. At the age of two, she held her first art exhibition on the family refrigerator. “Your artworks are really unique! So, I assume you're as good as Leonardo da Vinci or anybody else,” said her mother, who had always been highly encouraging Bazan. Then, Bazan signed up for an art class and quickly discovered her natural talent, “To me, a canvas(畫布) is a door to another world where I have full creative control,” Bazan used to say to her mother.
The year she turned five, however, she was diagnosed with mental anxiety. She struggled with focusing, paying attention, or sitting still. Her mother still supported her in learning art, though. Even with family support, finding the feeling in control had often been a horrific challenge for her.
Bazan attended the University of Kentucky in 2010, whose major was art education, but didn't connect with the prospect of teaching. It made her unhappy. “I just wasn't drawn to it as much,” she said. Confusion about her uncertain future, coupled with her increasingly severe illness, made her eventually drop out of college.
Life went on for a decade. Bazan had a son and moved to Sheboygan, far away from her parents. She worked in a local grocery. Every day after work, she rushed home to care for her son. Life was difficult. Soon after, she divorced her husband because of her bad condition.
As her son grew up, Bazan became restless, and reconsidered the meaning of life. She felt she couldn't give up on the calling of her art. “I love art,” she said. It occurred to her that she could learn different techniques—from sewing and spinning and weaving to printmaking or painting. She would discover a new path in her professional development, instead of being a salesclerk all her life.

技巧點撥
　　當題干中出現人名、地名等專有名詞以及時間、日期等數字時,通常可以利用它們在文中的位置快速找到與題目相關的信息。
B
語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者艱難的創業經歷以及他創建網站RiseUpAgain.org的故事。作者提醒創業者成功沒有捷徑,永遠不要把逆境當成敵人,要把它當成盟友。
24.C　推理判斷題。根據第二段中“when I was an employee years ago”和“I wanted to start my own business”可知,多年前,作者還是一名雇員,后來想要創辦自己的企業。由此可知,作者改變了職業道路。故選C。

②根據第二段第二句Wiseman說的話可知,Richard Wiseman認為覺得自己幸運或不幸是一種看待自我的方式,這會影響我們的行為和思維方式,并成為一種自我實現的預期。因此,相信運氣會影響我們的行為。故選C。
29.B　推理判斷題。
①根據題干中的“Jordan's lucky shorts”可定位到第四段。
②本段結構為:舉例說明—觀點呈現。根據第四段最后一句Woolley的話可知,Woolley認為Jordan的迷信的個人習慣給了他信心,然后他打得更好。所以,作者提及Jordan的幸運短褲,表明“好運”在現實生活中是存在的。故選B。
30.D　細節理解題。根據最后一段中的“some steps can improve your luck”“Lucky people can also transform bad experiences into good.”和“even small shifts can be effective”可知,一些措施可以增加幸運,幸運的人也會把壞經歷轉變為好的,甚至小的改變可能也有效。所以,做出靈活的改變可以增加好運。故選D。

Para. 1 提出:為什么相信運氣
Paras. 2-4 講述了專家的觀點,人們認識到運氣的存在。
Para. 5 人們可以通過改變把壞運氣變成好運。
從各段落的主旨來看,文章主要講述了專家幫助我們理解為什么相信運氣,以及我們如何通過信念改變我們對生活的態度。所以,B項“好運還是壞運 由你決定”適合作為文章標題。
D
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要通過研究蜜蜂交流的方式,說明人類和其他動物需要交流和互動來學習一門語言,而不是生來就有這種知識。
32.A　推理判斷題。根據第二段第一句“Scientists now know that human language requires social learning and interaction with other people, a property shared with multiple animal languages.”可知,現在科學家們知道,人類語言需要社交學習和與其他人的互動,這與多種動物語言的特性相似。而第一段的實驗中,孩子被阻止進行交流,這項實驗忽視了語言學習是一種社會活動的事實,所以是錯誤的。故選A。
33.C　詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞后的“that could not observe other waggle dances before they themselves danced”可知,實驗組的蜂群在自己起舞之前無法觀察到其他的搖擺舞蹈。再根據后一句中的“Like the ancient experiment described by Herodotus, these bees could not observe the dance language”可知,就像希羅多德描述的古代實驗一樣,這些蜜蜂無法觀察舞蹈語言。由此可知,“isolated experimental colonies of bees”就像第一段的實驗中被分離的孩子一樣,它們是與其他蜂群隔離開的,故isolated是指幼蜂與老蜂分開,意為“被隔離的”,故選C。
34.D　細節理解題。根據第八段最后一句“The dances of the control bees remained just as good as their first dances.”可知,對照組蜜蜂在第一次舞蹈后能夠保持同樣的舞蹈水平。再根據第六段最后一句“In contrast, our control colonies contained bees of all ages, so younger bees could follow the older, experienced dancers.”可知,對照組蜜蜂可以跟隨有經驗的蜜蜂學習。所以,對照組蜜蜂在第一次跳舞之前就已經學會了搖擺舞蹈,故選D。
35.B　推理判斷題。根據最后一段第一句“Complex communication is often difficult...signals.”可知,即使個人天生就對正確的信號有一定的了解,通常也很難進行復雜的交流。這與第二段第一句“Scientists now know that human language requires...animal languages.”形成呼應,回答了為什么語言需要學習這一問題。故選B。
難句分析
原句　The bees that could not follow the dances of experienced bees produced dances with significantly more directional, distance and order errors than the dances of control bees.
分析　本句為主從復合句。“that could not follow the dances of experienced bees”為that引導的定語從句,修飾先行詞bees;句中還包含“more...than...”的比較結構。
譯文　不能跟隨有經驗的蜜蜂跳舞的蜜蜂比對照組蜜蜂產生的舞蹈有更多的方向性、距離和順序錯誤。
第二節
語篇解讀　本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了成績優秀的學生的學習方法。
①通讀全文,把握文章大意和文章結構
文章大意:學習方法
文章結構:總—分
②通讀選項,了解各選項的中心點,畫出關鍵詞
A.Set priorities(優先事項)
B.Schedule your time(時間)
C.She designs test questions based on them.(試題)
D.It's a matter of showing intellectual curiosity.(求知欲)
E.A bag or drawer keeps essential supplies together.(必需品存放)
F.Hard work isn't the whole story behind their academic grades.(勤奮與成績)
G.You can't believe it tastes good if it's presented on a dirty plate.(臟,不好吃)
③把選項一一代入文章空處,尋找每個題最適合的選項
36.A　主旨句。根據文章結構可知,該空為段落主旨句,形式可能為祈使句。下文的“unanswered”“unwatched”“ignored” “business comes before recreation”等表明,在學習時,優等生不接電話,不看電視節目,不吃零食,學習先于娛樂。由此可知,優等生都是優先考慮學習。A項“設定優先事項”符合本段主題,適合作小標題。
37.E　細節句。上文提到優等生Paul Melendres有兩個文件夾,一個放當天的作業,另一個放已完成并被批改的試卷。設空處應該是對前文方法的介紹或者延伸,結合各選項的中心點來看,E項“一個袋子或抽屜可以把必需品放在一起。”承接上文的學習物品的整理辦法。
38.G　細節句。空前句提到端上一個干酪漢堡包,G項中的關鍵詞“can't believe it tastes good”與前文建立了邏輯關系,且G項“如果它被放在臟盤子里,你相信它不會很好吃。”與前文“The student who turns in a neat paper...is already on the way to an A.”進行比較,用比喻的手法,說明試卷就像漢堡,如果不整潔,就不會得到好的評價。
技巧點撥
　　設空處位置、關鍵詞、代詞、連詞、邏輯詞等都是很有效的“七選五”解題突破口。
39.D　細節句。根據空前句“Class participation goes beyond merely asking questions, though.”可知,課堂參與不僅僅是提問。設空處承接上文,需指出課堂參與的特點,結合各選項的意思和中心點可知,D項“這是表現出求知欲的問題。”符合語境。
40.C　過渡句。根據小標題“Test yourself”可知,C項的中心點“test questions”與之關系緊密;另外,空前句提到Domenica Roman記筆記時突出了她認為考試中可能會涉及的要點,空后句提到考試前她要進行自我書面檢測。所以設空處承上啟下,提到她會根據考試要點設計自測試題。故選C項。
熟詞生義
break 熟義:v.(使)破,裂　生義:n.間歇,休息
第三部分　語言運用
第一節
語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要以作者個人的經歷講述了金融素養教育對學生的重要性。
41.A　根據后文“many students signed up for one or more cards”可知,很多學生申請了一張或多張信用卡。由此可推知,學生們是被各種各樣的信用卡獎勵計劃吸引(Attracted)。sponsor贊助;require要求;dominate支配。
42.C　根據后文“late payment”和“they faced challenges later in life”可知,因逾期還款,之后他們會面臨麻煩,故此處指學生沒有意識到信用卡逾期還款的后果(consequences)。condition情況;benefit好處;process過程。
43.D　根據空后“meant many college students started off their adult lives with poor credit”可知,很多大學生帶著不良信用開始他們的成年生活,這應該源于他們缺乏(Lacking)基本的金融素養。display展示;maintain保持;abandon拋棄。
44.B　空前提到了他們的不良信用,空后提到當他們要借錢時,就遇到了挑戰。前后之間為因果關系,故選B項“Therefore(因此)”。however然而;otherwise否則;instead相反。
45.A　根據空前“they faced challenges later in life when they needed to borrow money but couldn't”可知,他們因信用不良無法獲得(secure)低息貸款。guarantee保證;request要求;settle解決。
易錯分析
　　本題容易錯選B項或D項。主要原因是對單詞的意思掌握不足,根據漢語意思主觀想象。
46.C　根據后文“That has fueled my sense of 　47　 to teach the next generation of students personal finance.”可知,作者過去的經歷激起了他教學生個人理財的責任意識。所以,不良信用一直伴隨著(followed)作者。turn(使)轉動;guide指導;trick欺騙。
易錯分析
　　本題容易錯選D項。主要原因是沒有理清設空處前的主語,不良記錄是伴隨著“我”,不是欺騙“我”。
47.B　根據后文“It's why I helped develop a personal finance course for teens and young adults.”可知,作者幫助開發了適合青少年的個人理財課程,是因為他覺得他有責任(responsibility)教會學生個人理財。independence獨立;achievement成就;identity身份。
48.C　根據后文“we asked the students what 　49　 interested them”可知,作者問學生對什么感興趣。由此可知,他的目的是想讓理財課程有吸引力(engaging)。touching感人的;surprising驚人的;inspiring鼓舞人心的。
49.D　根據后文“They were curious to know about buying homes and cars.”可知,他們對買房和買車感到好奇,故此處指作者問他們感興趣的話題(topics)是什么。word話語;title標題;course課程。
50.B　根據后文“How much do I need to save to make these purchases Which purchases do I prioritize ”可知,作者讓學生思考(considering):應該省下多少錢來買這些東西 優先購買哪些 pose提出;examine檢查;tackle處理。
51.C　根據后文“...I hope more schools and youth organizations will offer financial education.”可知,作者希望更多的學校和青年機構能夠提供金融教育。由此可知,作為教育者,應該幫助年輕人為畢業后的生活做好準備(prepare for)。search for尋找;pay for支付;care for照顧。
52.D　根據上題和空后內容可知,作者希望更多的學校和青年機構能夠提供金融教育,這是因為開發這門課程比自己想象中更簡單,有很多的資源(resources)。question問題;path路徑;example例子。
53.A　根據上題可知,作者認為開發這門課程比想象中更簡單(easier),所以他呼吁更多的學校和青年機構能夠提供金融教育。cheap便宜的;safe安全的;strict嚴格的。
54.B　根據前文“Financial literacy shouldn't be optional”可知,金融素養課程不應該是選修課,因為這會讓沒有金融素養的人處于明顯的劣勢(disadvantage)。distance距離;point點;corner角落。
55.D　句意:如果說我作為學生和教育者的經歷教會了我什么的話,那就是沒有人應該不得不通過艱難的方式來學習重要的理財課程。duty責任;ability能力;ambition抱負;experience經歷。
熟詞生義
1.interest 熟義:n.興趣 v.使感興趣　生義:n.利息
2.fuel 熟義:n.燃料　生義:v.加劇;刺激
第二節
語篇解讀　本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要介紹了我國首位平民航天員——桂海潮。
56.was launched　考查時態、語態和主謂一致。句意:2023年5月30日上午9點31分,在酒泉衛星發射中心,一枚20層樓高的長征二號F運載火箭發射了神舟十六號宇宙飛船,中國首位平民航天員桂海潮和另外兩名航天員一起坐在飛船內。設空處在句中作謂語,此處為過去發生的事情,應用一般過去時,主語為Gui Haichao,與launch之間為被動關系,應使用一般過去時的被動語態。故填was launched。
易錯分析
　　本題容易錯填were launched。注意:主語為單數名詞或代詞,盡管后面跟有with,together with,except,but,like,as well as,rather than,more than,no less than,besides,including等引出的短語,謂語動詞仍用單數形式。
57.which　考查定語從句。句意同上。分析句子結構可知,設空處引導非限制性定語從句,修飾先行詞a 20-story-tall Long March 2F carrier rocket,先行詞指物,且關系詞在從句中作主語。故填which。
58.enthusiasm　考查名詞。句意:桂海潮出生于1986年,他從小就對科學有熱情。分析句子可知,設空處位于謂語“has been developing”前,作本句的主語,并且空前有名詞所有格“Gui's”修飾,需用名詞形式。故填enthusiasm。
59.majoring　考查非謂語動詞。句意:多年后,桂海潮進入北京航空航天大學,主修飛行器設計與工程。本句為簡單句,謂語為attended,major為動詞,意為“主修”,此處應用非謂語動詞形式作伴隨狀語,且主語Gui Haichao與major之間為主動關系。故填majoring。
60.as　考查介詞。句意:回到中國后,他應邀到北京航空航天大學以副教授的身份進行教學。設空處位于動詞teach后,且后跟冠詞an,使用介詞的可能性較大。根據句意可知,此處表示“作為”,故填as。
技巧點撥
　　在沒有提示詞的情況下,一般主要選擇介詞、冠詞、連詞、代詞等。
61.to select　考查非謂語動詞。句意:在2018年的春天,桂海潮被告知,中國載人航天當局已決定選擇第三批預備航天員,包括首批航天工程師和科學載荷專家。make a decision to do sth.為固定搭配,表示“決定做某事”。故填to select。
62.a　考查冠詞。此處表示“多年來,我一直是太空探索的一名愛好者,有時夢想著在太空做研究”。該空后為可數名詞單數,表泛指,且fan的發音以輔音音素開頭,故填a。
63.that　考查狀語從句。此處表示“一聽到這個消息,我是如此興奮,以至于我沒多想就報名了”。此處為so...that...引導的結果狀語從句。故填that。
易錯分析
　　本題容易錯填which等詞。主要原因是沒能注意到前面的so。英語中有很多類似的結構,需格外注意。例如:not only...but also..., neither...nor..., such...that..., hardly...when..., no sooner...than...等。
64.successfully　考查副詞。設空處作狀語,修飾was admitted,故用其副詞形式。故填successfully。
65.professional　考查形容詞。該空修飾空后的名詞tests,需使用形容詞,表示“專業的測試”,故填professional。

Dear Mr. Davis,

Finally, a well-known saying is employed at the end of my article, which I think is a perfect highlight.【分點闡述理由】
