From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever

created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-respect. Your level of
self-respect is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself,
and thus over your life. People with low self-respect are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the long-term victims. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance, blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nursing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or
spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
24 ．Why are people with low self-respect compared to leaves
A ．They are ready to change their minds.
B ．They are easily affected by windy weather.
C ．They don’t have the power to face their fate.
D ．They can’t exercise control over themselves.
25 ．What can be concluded from paragraph 5
A ．Whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes.
B ．One’s expectation is the key to future success.
C ．Thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind.
D ．Setting our expectations is essential before taking action.

26 ．What’s the function of the last paragraph
A ．The proof of the author’s points. B ．The conclusion of the argument.
C ．An introduction to another topic. D ．A comparison between two views.
27 ．Which is the best title for the text
A ．The secrets of success B ．Develop our confidence

It’s the day of a big test. Your heart is pounding. Your palms are sweating. Your breathing quickens and your stomach suddenly feels full of butterflies. Although these stress responses may not feel good, they’re totally normal.
An increased heart rate and breathing will send more oxygen to our muscles and brain. Our muscles tense so they can react quickly. By sweating, our body attempts to avoid overheating. Our pupils dilate (放大) so we become more aware of our surroundings. And our body releases stress hormones to boost our energy and focus.
Together, these changes are known as the fight-or-flight response. They’re automatically triggered by what’s known as the sympathetic nervous system. It helps us respond to danger or challenges. They give us more power, more speed and agility. All are important for physical
activity.
This survival mechanism helped our ancient hunter-gatherer ancestors fight or escape from a wild animal. Today, we face very different perils than people did 300,000 years ago. But our
sympathetic nervous system remains very important for us to make it through challenging events. It turns on when we play sports, perform or catch ourselves from falling. It motivates us to study or concentrate on difficult tasks. And it turns on when we're trying something new or talking to
someone we like. Activating that fight-or-flight response in short bursts is healthy.
But as soon as the stimulating event is over, our brain normally sends signals to our body to calm down. This turns on a second system: the parasympathetic (副交感的) nervous system. It
handles what’s known as the rest-and-digest response. Here, our heart rate and breathing become slow and stable. Our muscles relax. Stress hormone levels lower, and feel-good hormones become somewhat higher. This lets us feel safe. We now can think-calmly, digest food and sleep, all

processes vital to our brain and overall health.
The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems keep our bodies in balance.
Together, they make up the autonomic nervous system. By switching us between rest and action, they work together to help us respond appropriately to the range of situations we experience.
28 ．What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on
A ．Various responses to stress. B ．Functions of different body parts.
C ．Benefits of stress responses. D ．Approaches to handling stress.
29 ．The underlined word “perils” in paragraph 4 most probably means “ ”.
A ．risks B ．choices C ．attitudes D ．trials
30 ．What can be inferred about the parasympathetic nervous system
A ．It makes the body more sensitive to pain after a tough workout.
B ．It helps restore normal body functions after a challenging situation.
C ．It heightens our body’s movement speed in a difficult situation.
D ．It leads us to have a strong appetite during periods of anxiety.
31 ．In which column of a newspaper may this text appear
A ．Education. B ．Science.
C ．Social News. D ．Book Reviews.

The first time my improv (即兴表演) teacher called me to act out a scene, my throat
tightened and my vision blurred (模糊). Performing silly scenes in front of others made my
anxiety shoot through the roof. Every time I tried to improvise, I froze. I swore everyone could hear my racing heartbeat, and I kept trying to force myself to relax instead of focusing on the
scene. For weeks, I fought against my anxiety. I’d get angry at myself for feeling nervous during something “fun”, trying to ignore the butterflies in my stomach. But psychologists now say that approach was wrong — some anxiety can actually be helpful.
The Yerkes-Dodson Curve, a well-known psychology concept, explains this. When anxiety is too high, people underperform, because they might be so worried. When it’s too low, they also suffer, because they might be so relaxed. “There’s a middle zone where anxiety becomes useful,” says Dr. Shannon Sauer-Zavala from the University of Kentucky. “It signals, ‘This matters —
试卷第 7 页，共 13 页
pay attention and prepare. ’”
Psychologist Dennis-Tiwary writes in her book Future Tense that when her son was
diagnosed with a heart condition as a baby, anxiety and worry intensified her efforts to get him help. “Worry pushed me to figure out how to maximize the chances of a successful surgery,” she writes. Her mind racing, she read academic articles about her son’s condition, made lists of
questions for his doctors and searched community forums for information. “In the end,” she writes, “it was the worry that helped us get through.”
Anxiety can be a form of caring, of our minds highlighting what matters. It tells us that
accomplishing our goals will require efforts, and it pushes us to think about what efforts, exactly, we should take. It motivates us to take action. In some studies, people who felt anxious came up with more and better solutions to problems than those who felt calm. In other words, you
shouldn’t want to live completely free of anxiety, because you need some anxiety to get things done.
32 ．How did the author feel when improvising
A ．He felt relaxed by focusing on the scene.
B ．Nervous, he forgot his improv completely.
C ．With his heart racing, he tried to calm down.
D ．He felt annoyed at being called to improvise.
33 ．According to the Yerkes-Dodson Curve, how does anxiety affect one’s performance
A ．The higher anxiety is, the better one’s performance is.
B ．Too low anxiety leads to one’s suffering mental health.
C ．Balanced anxiety betters one’s attention and preparations.
D ．A middle zone makes anxiety useful to one’s performance.
34 ．What does the underlined word “intensified” in paragraph 3 mean
A ．Pursued. B ．Fueled. C ．Concentrated. D ．Combined.
35 ．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A ．It requires efforts to accomplish our goals.
B ．Life with anxiety is completely unavoidable.
C ．Anxiety is always there to help you get projects done.
D ．Feeling calm can not be an advantage in completing a task.

Goals aren’t just things to do. They guide you to a better life and help you reach your dreams. Let’s discover the wonderful benefits of achieving goals.Improve your self-respect
Setting a goal and devoting yourself to it do more than give you something to aim for — it builds your self-respect. 36 . Breaking your goals into smaller, manageable steps makes them
less frightening. Approach one task at a time to stay inspired as you work toward long term success. You’ll feel proud of yourself as your hard work pays off.Build resilience（韧性）
37 . Along the way, you’ll likely hit barriers. Although challenging, dealing with
those barriers helps build resilience, an important ability to get through the ups and downs of life. Resilience means the ability to adapt and recover from life’s challenges by using inner strength. It’s a skill that teaches you how to keep trying in the face of difficulties, so that you can succeed today and in the future. 38
If you feel lost or stuck in a routine, setting goals can help find direction. Goals act like a compass, helping to direct your ship toward the life of your dreams. Start by figuring out what you’d like to complete. Identify the steps you need to follow, and then focus your energy on the tasks needed to realize those goals. This can help you feel inspired to make your dreams come true every day you wake up.Teach responsibility
Setting goals is one thing and sticking to them is another. Responsibility bridges that gap. You’ll learn how to be responsible for your actions and keep yourself on track. Find a supportive partner that you can contact to measure progress. 39 .Inspire those around you
Achieving goals doesn’t just improve your own life. It also inspires those around you to do the same. People will naturally admire your hard work and efforts to succeed. 40 . When they see you keep trying, they’ll feel encouraged to keep going, too!
A ．Give you a sense of purpose
B ．Find the way to realize dreams
C ．Achieving goals takes time and hard work
试卷第 9 页，共 13 页
D ．Those are the steps to move toward your goals
E ．You lead by example and challenge others to do their best
F ．They can also help you stay inspired when you face problems
G ．Each step forward is proof of your ability and strengthens self-confidence

I could hear one of my classmates expressing her impatience with my slow crawl up the ladder (梯子),“If she’s afraid of heights, why would she sign up for a Bungee Jumping (蹦极) class ” My friend was at the top of the ladder, trying to cheer me up. How did I wind up on a ladder hanging above the Hudson River
It was my friend who invited me to the Bungee Jumping class. At first, I was doubtful, but her enthusiasm and guarantees of strict safety procedures won me over.
I had been fearful of heights since primary school. Avoiding my fear of heights became second nature. I tried not to look down at balconies or staircases. I avoided traveling by plane as much as possible. I declined invitations from friends to join them on roller coasters (过山车).
But here I was, at age twenty-six, facing my fear of heights in a rather extreme way. I had come around to the idea of trying Bungee Jumping. I figured it wasn’t much different from
swinging on the monkey bars as a kid. The one obstacle I didn’t expect was the ladder. In order to reach the Bungee Jumping, I had to climb up a twenty-two-foot ladder.
My friend’s distraction techniques helped to take my mind off my dangerous task. I found a rhythm and kept going. With a slow and steady (稳定的) pace, I made it to the top.
An instructor tied me to a safety belt and told me to step to the edge of the platform. I held

the Bungee Jumping bar with sweaty hands, surprised that it was too thick to fix my hand around. Instead of a firm grasp, my hands were in a weak, bear-claw position.
The cheers from my classmates rang out below. An instructor reminded me of the safety rules, including the net below that would catch me at the bottom. He reminded me to listen to the directions while in the air, so I could perform well.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stood face to face with my fear of heights.

They should be proud of themselves. But let’s be clear, if you link motivation to winning prizes in life, you set yourself up for disappointment. The greatest prize of all is that you can look yourself in the eye and say, “I tried.”

Ideal for those passionate about natural wildlife.(进行动物种群研究，对动物进行标记，并制定栖息地保护策略。非常适合那些对自然野生动物充满热情的人)”可知，野生动物生物学家的工作涉及的活动通常在户外进行，如果你喜欢在户外工作，你会申请野生动物学家。故选 A。
22．细节理解题。根据表格中 App Developer 部分“Collaborates with businesses to create custom applications, addressing operational efficiency and customer value.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了成功是一种选择而非机会，强调要培养自尊、对生活负责，指出人们的态度决定是否成功。
24 ．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Your level of self-respect is always based on the degree of
答案第 4 页，共 14 页
control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low
self-respect are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their
lives. They are the long term victims. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance,
blown about with any sudden change in the weather.(你的自尊水平总是基于你对自己，进而对自己生活的控制程度。自尊心低的人不相信自己对自己的生活有任何力量或责任。他们是长期的受害者。他们就像被命运之风摇摆的树叶，随着天气的突然变化而四处飘荡)”可知，树叶随风摇摆，随着天气的突然变化而四处飘荡，无法掌控自己的命运，由此可知，自尊心低的人被比作树叶是因为他们也不能掌控自己。故选 D 项。
25．细节理解题。根据第五段中“We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our
success is dependent upon our level of confidence.(我们要为自己选择的想法和信仰负责。一个人通常会达到自己期望的水平。我们要为设定自己的期望负责。我们的成功取决于我们的信心水平)”可知，我们是否成功取决于我们对责任的态度。故选 A 项。
26 ．推理判断题。通读全文，结合最后一段“In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.(简而言之，在你生活的所有领域，无论是经济、身体、情感还是精神方面，你都要负责。一旦你认识到这一点，接受它，并坚定地相信它，你就走上了成功之路)”中“In short(简而言之)”可推知，这是对前文论述内容的总结。故选 B 项。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.(成功是一 种选择，而不是机会。你生来就是赢家。你生来就富有。只要你做出正确的选择，你就能成功)”和最后一段“In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.(简而言之，在你生活的所有领域，无论是经济、身体、情感还是精神方面，你都要负责。一旦你认识到这一点，接受它，并坚定地相信它，你就走上了成功之路)”可知，文章主要论述成功是一种选择，强调要培养自尊、对生活负责，指出人们的态度决定是否成功。故 C 项“Success is a choice(成功是一种选择)”最适合做文章标题。故选 C 项。

用及其对身体平衡的调节机制。
28．主旨大意题。根据第二段“An increased heart rate and breathing will send more oxygen to our muscles and brain. Our muscles tense so they can react quickly. By sweating, our body attempts to avoid overheating. Our pupils dilate (放大) so we become more aware of our surroundings. And
our body releases stress hormones to boost our energy and focus. (心率和呼吸加快会向我们的肌肉和大脑输送更多的氧气。我们的肌肉会紧张，以便能迅速做出反应。通过出汗，我们的身体试图避免过热。我们的瞳孔放大，这样我们就能更清楚地感知周围的环境。我们的身体会释放压力荷尔蒙来增强我们的能量和注意力。)”可知，本段主要讲述了压力反应带来的好处。故选 C 项。
29．词句猜测题。根据划线词前一句“This survival mechanism helped our ancient hunter-gatherer ancestors fight or escape from a wild animal. (这种生存机制帮助我们远古时期以狩猎采集为
生的祖先与野兽搏斗或逃离野兽。)”和划线词所在句“Today, we face very different perils than people did 300,000 years ago. (今天，我们面临的 perils 与 30 万年前的人们截然不同。)”可知，划线句与前句是对比关系，perils 与祖先遭遇的野兽危险语义相近，应指现代人面临的“风险”，与 risks 同义。故选 A 项。
30 ．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But as soon as the stimulating event is over, our brain
normally sends signals to our body to calm down. This turns on a second system: the
parasympathetic (副交感的) nervous system. It handles what’s known as the rest-and-digest
response. Here, our heart rate and breathing become slow and stable. Our muscles relax. Stress
hormone levels lower, and feel-good hormones become somewhat higher. This lets us feel safe.
(但是，一旦刺激事件结束，我们的大脑通常会向身体发出信号，让它平静下来。这开启了第二个系统：副交感神经系统。它处理所谓的“休息和消化”反应。在这里，我们的心率和呼吸变得缓慢而稳定。我们的肌肉放松。压力荷尔蒙水平降低，感觉良好的荷尔蒙水平有所升高。这让我们感到安全。)”可推知，副交感神经系统有助于在具有挑战性的情况后恢复身体的正常功能。故选 B 项。
31．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了交感神经系统和副交感神经系统如何帮助我们应对压力和挑战，以及它们如何共同维持身体的平衡，这属于科学范畴，所以文章可能出现在报纸的科学专栏。故选 B 项。

化为解决问题的行动力。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Every time I tried to improvise, I froze. I swore everyone could hear my racing heartbeat, and I kept trying to force myself to relax instead of focusing on the
scene. (每次我尝试即兴表演时，都会僵住。我发誓所有人都能听到我狂跳的心跳声，而我只是一味强迫自己放松，却没能专注于表演场景)”可知，在即兴表演时，作者的心跳加速，试图让自己冷静下来。故选 C 项。
33 ．细节理解题。根据第二段中“When anxiety is too high, people underperform, because they might be so worried. When it’s too low, they also suffer, because they might be so relaxed.(当焦虑过高时，人们表现不佳，因为他们可能太担心了。当它太低时，他们也会受到影响，因为他们可能太放松了。)” 、Shannon Sauer-Zavala 博士所说的话“There’s a middle zone where
anxiety becomes useful (在焦虑情绪中，存在一个‘ 中间地带’——此时焦虑反而能发挥积极作用)”和“It signals, ‘This matters — pay attention and prepare. ’ (它传递着一个信号：‘这件事很重要——要集中注意力，做好准备。’)”可知，耶克斯-多德森压力曲线表明，适度焦虑能提升专注力，让人做好准备，从而优化表现。故选 C 项。
34 ．词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文““Worry pushed me to figure out how to maximize the
chances of a successful surgery,” she writes. Her mind racing, she read academic articles about her son’s condition, made lists of questions for his doctors and searched community forums for
information. “In the end,” she writes, “it was the worry that helped us get through.” (她写道：‘正是这份焦虑，促使我不断思考如何提高手术成功的概率。’她思绪翻涌，研读关于儿子病情的学术论文，向医生列出问题清单，并在社区论坛上搜寻相关信息。她写道，‘最终，正是这份忧虑帮助我们渡过了难关。’)”可知，这份焦虑促使 Dennis-Tiwary 更努力采取各种行动，来帮助儿子渡过难关，画线词意为“增强，推动” ，与 Fueled 意思相近。故选 B 项。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In some studies, people who felt anxious came up with more and better solutions to problems than those who felt calm. In other words, you shouldn’t want to
live completely free of anxiety, because you need some anxiety to get things done. (一些研究表明，相比情绪平静者，感到焦虑的人往往能提出更多、更优的解决方案。换言之，我们不应追求完全摆脱焦虑的状态，因为适度的焦虑恰恰是推动事情取得进展的动力)”可知，适度的焦虑可以推动事情发展，其承受者比情绪平静者更能很好地完成任务。由此可知，平静状态在解决问题时可能不具备优势。故选 D 项。

Hello, my dear friends. I’m happy to share my opinion about challenges with you. In my view, challenges are strong motivations that drive me on the way to success.
I remember when I was in junior school, I wanted to join the school football team, and I
signed up for it. Then I was told that all the candidates would try out for it a month later and only those who finished running in a required time could be accepted. Though I wasn’t good at
running, I was so eager to become a football player that I practiced running every morning. To my surprise, after a month’s hard work, I made it to the football team.
So my suggestion is: Never be afraid of challenges, because they are opportunities in disguise.
That’s all. Thank you.

67 ． I stood face-to-face with my fear of heights. The realization that this was something I would have to do alone not only gave me some discomfort, but also a bit of pride. If I made it through the class, I would finish something in the face of my fear. As the instructor counted down, I took a
deep breath and was pushed off the platform. The air rushed into my lungs. I lost awareness of time and space and let the force of the Bungee Jumping swing me up and down. I dropped onto the net tremblingly and began walking with my shaky legs. Finally, I made it!
My second round of Bungee Jumping went a bit more smoothly. My hands and legs didn’t shake anymore. Even at the moment of jumping off the platform, my eyes were open and I saw the water coming towards me directly. An inexperienced thrill filled my whole body immediately.
While my fear of heights was still with me, this experience opened up a new way of seeing myself and approaching challenges. I became more open to trying new things. I’m more capable than my fears let me believe I am.
