In December 2021, Land put a box outside her house, with a sign reading, “School uniform drop-off”. She set up a Facebook group and asked people to drop good-quality used uniforms into the box. The operation started to grow almost immediately. “Some weeks I give out up to 48 uniforms,“ she says. People drive up and drop the clothing: she sorts through it, keeps it in her “stock room” and posts details about donations on the Facebook group. The first parent to message her gets the items for nothing. Land puts the items in a named bag and then returns it to the box. Recipients (接受者) can come and collect at their leisure.
“Being able to access good-quality preloved school uniforms has been a lifeline,“ says Kristina, a mother of two. ”It’s just amazing.“
“Every child going to school deserves to feel smart and proud,” Land says. “We don’t want children to go to school feeling negative, because that affects their learning. Land has noticed that people rarely take without also giving. Sometimes people leave flowers on the box, or they drop off some outgrown clothes too.

Her determination to ensure children can access the uniforms they deserve grows ever stronger.

D
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
12. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A. the meaning of success
B. the reasons for success
C. the standards of success
D. the importance of success
13. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.
A. work makes one feel pain
B. one tends to enjoy his work
C. it takes a lot of time to succeed
D. one gives up his work easily
14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
B. Successful people like to show their great skills.
C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
15. What is the main theme of the passage
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. Being good is different from being great.
C. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
D. One cannot succeed without time and practice.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。本文主要论述了成功的关键因素不是天赋、出身或运气，而是设定一个符合实际的目标，然后为此不断地努力。长期的努力也许无法确保你得到想要的成功，但是你付出的努力一定会成为你的优势所在。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段中的“Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. (有些人认为成功只适用于那些有天赋的人或那些在合适的家庭中长大的人，而另一些人则认为成功主要取决于运气)”结合下文陈述的内容可知，此段主要谈论了成功的原因。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in. (而且，除此之外，为了真正擅长某件事，一个人需要花费至少10000小时学习和练习。要想在某些事情上取得成功，需要更多的时间，这是大多数人不会投入的)”和第三段“This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it. (这是许多成功人士建议你做自己喜欢的事情的一个重要原因。如果你不喜欢你所做的事情，你会感到难以忍受的痛苦，很可能会让你在做得好之前就放弃)”可知，成功需要花费大量的时间，所以成功人士建议人们从事自己喜欢的工作。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway. (有时很容易认为他们很幸运，或者他们天生就有一些罕见的天赋，但这样想对你没有好处，而且很有可能你错了)”可知，有时很容易认为别人的成功源于运气和天赋，但是这种想法很有可能是错的，故可推知C项“人们有时没有运气或天赋也能成功”正确。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由第四段中的“When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. (当你看到人们展示了一些伟大的技能或取得了巨大的成功，你就知道他们付出了生命中的巨大一部分来实现这一目标，付出了巨大的代价)”和最后一段中的“Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. (无论你做什么，如果你想在这方面变得很棒，你需要日复一日地工作，几乎达到上瘾的程度，并且需要很长一段时间)”可知，成功是需要时间的，文章主要指出成功的关键不是天赋、出身或运气，而是长期的积累和努力，因此D项“没有时间和实践，一个人不可能成功”符合文意。故选D项。

【17题详解】
根据上文“Xiao Li and Xiao Kang are modeled after the two men in appearance, voice and movement.(小李和小康在外表、声音和动作上都是模仿那两个人的)”可知，上文提到了人工智能在外表、声音和动作上对人类的模仿，故本句位于句中，承接上文继续说明他们还利用了人类的哪些东西，故D选项“他们还用两个人的知识和记忆来表演”符合语境，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据后文“For example, Duxiaoxiao will give different feedback to a question by taking user's personalities and hobbies into consideration.(例如，Duxiaoxiao会考虑用户的个性和爱好，对一个问题给出不同的反馈)”可知，后文的例子说明了人工能在可以根据用户的个性和喜好给出不同的反馈，也就是说程序能够根据用户的习惯改变以适应他们的需求。故G选项“随着时间的推移，应用程序将根据用户的习惯改变以适应他们的需求”符合语境，故选G。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a bright, warm July afternoon, Mac Hollan, a primary school teacher, was cycling from his home to Alaska with his friends. One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled (骑行) along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday.
Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. “Man, that’s a big dog!” he thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn’t a dog at all, but a wolf, quickly catching up with him.
Mac’s heart jumped. He found out his can of hear spray. With one hand on the bars, he fired the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac’s relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac’s bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the chase(追赶)。
Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to show down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit the hill, he’d be easy caught up and the wolf’s teeth would be tearing into his flesh.
At this moment, Paul and Beeky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn’t think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The car abruptly stopped in front of him. Paul and Becky got out of the car immediately to give the help. With nothing in the hand, they felt nervous and didn't dare to fight against the wolf. However, they still approached to the wolf bravely. At the same time, the wolf also saw them and turned its head back, howling angrily towards Paul and Becky. Mac then jumped off the bicycle and was ready to fight against the wolf. Then came the deadlock.
A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived. They found the dangerous situation, where three men circled the wolf. Mac's friends also jumped off their bicycles and joined the fight with the wolf. More and more cars stopped. Some drivers took out the sticks from the cars, and some took out the knives, even the guns towards the wolf. In the meanwhile, the wolf might feel the people's threats around, so it gave up with disappointed look and began to step back slowly. Soon, it ran away off the road and disappeared in the distance.
【解析】
【导语】本文以时间发展为线索展开，讲述了小学老师Mac Hollan和朋友们在骑自行车去阿拉斯加的路上遇到了狼，被开车去阿拉斯加的保罗和比基遇上并搭救的经历。

②由第二段首句内容“几分钟后，另外两名骑自行车的人赶到了”可知，第二段可描写更多的人陆续到达并加入了搏斗，他们从车上拿出了各种能用于搏斗的东西，最后，狼感受到了被许多人包围的威胁，掉头跑开了。

Jo Land was surprised when she realized how much her youngest son’s school uniform cost. “A jumper was￡25. A polo shirt was￡15,” she says. “If it was this expensive for us, how on earth must families with three or four children manage ”
In December 2021, Land put a box outside her house, with a sign reading, “School uniform drop-off”. She set up a Facebook group and asked people to drop good-quality used uniforms into the box. The operation started to grow almost immediately. “Some weeks I give out up to 48 uniforms,“ she says. People drive up and drop the clothing: she sorts through it, keeps it in her “stock room” and posts details about donations on the Facebook group. The first parent to message her gets the items for nothing. Land puts the items in a named bag and then returns it to the box. Recipients (接受者) can come and collect at their leisure.
“Being able to access good-quality preloved school uniforms has been a lifeline,“ says Kristina, a mother of two. ”It’s just amazing.“

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
12. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A the meaning of success
B. the reasons for success
C. the standards of success
D. the importance of success
13. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.
A. work makes one feel pain
B. one tends to enjoy his work
C. it takes a lot of time to succeed
D. one gives up his work easily
14. What can we infer from Paragraph 4
A. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
B. Successful people like to show their great skills.
C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
15. What is the main theme of the passage
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. Being good is different from being great.
C. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
D. One cannot succeed without time and practice.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a bright, warm July afternoon, Mac Hollan, a primary school teacher, was cycling from his home to Alaska with his friends. One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled (骑行) along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday.
Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. “Man that’s a big dog!” he thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn’t a dog at all, but a wolf, quickly catching up with him.
Mac’s heart jumped. He found out his can of hear spray. With one hand on the bars, he fired the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac’s relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac’s bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the chase(追赶)。
Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to show down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit the hill he’d be easy caught up and the wolf’s teeth would be tearing into his flesh.
At this moment, Paul and Beeky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn’t think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now.
