The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Stephen R. Covey’s timeless classic outlines seven foundational principles for personal and professional success. From proactive (积极主动的) decision-making to effective leadership and interpersonal skills, this book stresses the importance of matching personal values with actions. It serves as a powerful guide to achieving long-term success and building meaningful relationships.
Outliers: The Story of Success
In the book, Malcolm Gladwell explores the factors that contribute to exceptional success. Through insightful case studies, Gladwell challenges traditional thoughts of talent and hard work, stressing the importance of opportunities, cultural backgrounds, and deliberate practice.

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

By distinguishing between a “fixed mindset” and a “growth mindset”, Dweck highlights how accepting challenges, maintaining resilience, and cultivating a love for learning can lead to remarkable success. This book provides valuable insights for transforming obstacles (障碍) into opportunities for growth.

In 1999, Rebecca Constantino began doing a study at schools across Los Angeles. She had just completed a PhD in Language, Literacy and Learning, and she was analyzing children’s access to books in wealthy and low-income communities.
One day, she saw something that stopped her in her tracks. “I was at a school in a wealthy community, and they were getting rid of almost brand-new books because they didn’t have room in the library, “said Constantino. She put the books in her car and drove them to a school in an underserved community.
Shocked by the difference she saw in public school libraries, Constantino became determined to bridge the gap. “School libraries are not funded well, and sometimes not funded at all,” said Constantino. “If you’re a child in an underserved community, you’re left with boring, outdated, and uninteresting books. “
The word about Constantino’s work was spread, and books began piling up. Today, her nonprofit organization, Access Books, has provided more than 1. 5 million books to public-school and community libraries across California. The group has also redecorated close to 350 libraries in public schools and homeless shelters.
Constantino recruits (招募) volunteers who work alongside the community to create a warm, vibrant (充满生机的) and welcoming library space. Students and their families, as well as school staff and teachers, come together to join in. “We’re working together. It’s not a gift; it’s a partnership. It really builds a sense of community,” said Constantino.
In addition to book donations and refurbishing (再装修) libraries, the group offers author visits with schools and holds an annual writers conference for kids. Constantino said, “If we provide high-interest books and a beautiful library space, they do come and they do read. We found that in the schools that we serve, the number of books borrowed increases significantly after our coming. So we know that kids are really interested in the books that we give. My goal is that kids can always have a friend in a book and they can always turn to a book to find comfort and to learn something.”
24. Why did Constantino do the study in 1999
A. To prepare for a PhD.
B To reduce the waste of books.
C. To donate more books to poor communities.
D. To figure out kids’ ways of gaining reading books.
25. How did Constantino bridge the gap
A. By obtaining donated books.
B. By raising money on the street.
C. By founding a profitable organization.
D. By getting support from the local government.
26. Which can best describe Constantino’s work
A. Challenging. B. Successful. C. Depressing. D. Doubtful.
27. What impact does the nonprofit organization have on kids in poor communities
A. They can turn to writers on campus.
B. They are more willing to read books.
C. They donate their own books to school libraries.
D. They think the books on the shelf difficult to read.
C
Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (鳄鱼围栏).
When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.
A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”.
Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.
The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport, according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.
Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”
28. Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim
A. It is made of a crocodile’s skin.
B. It is made into a crocodile shape.
C. It is light enough to float on water.
D. It was kept in flowing river at first.
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles.
B. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats.
C. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles.
D. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered.
30. What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Seized. B. Sold. C. Found. D. Stolen.
31. What does Tapley’s words focus on
A. The importance of wildlife protection.
B. The crisis endangered animals are facing.
C. The purpose to show the handbag.
D. The harm IWT caused.
D
Thinking of getting your child to take up a sport that involves (牵涉) a coach or instructor Good news: A new study finds that children who take part in organized physical activity at a young age are less likely to have emotional difficulties by the time they turn 12.
“The elementary school years are a key time in child development, “said Frederic N. Brier, a psycho-education professor who led the study, published this month in Pediatric Research. “And every parent wants to raise a well-adjusted child. “
Researchers followed a birth group over time to examine whether continual participation in organized sport from 6 to 10 would lower risks related with emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, social pullback at the age of 12. Their goal was to test this question as critically as possible by eliminating (排除) pre-existing child or family conditions that could offer an alternative explanation.
To do this, Brier and his team examined data from a group of children born in 1997 or 1998 who are part of the Quebee Longitudinal Study of Child Development. From age 6 to 10, mothers reported whether their children participated in organized physical activity. At the age of 12, teachers reported on the children’s levels of emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, and social pullback at school.
“The results revealed that children who participated frequently from 6 to 10 showed fewer instances of those factors at the age of 12 than their peers who did not join in physical activity in a continual way, “said Brier. “We found these benefits above and beyond pre-existing individual and family characteristics.”
“Getting kids actively involved in organized sport seems to promote global development. This involvement appears to be good on a socio-emotional level and not just because of physical benefits. Being less emotionally distressed at the key stage between elementary and high school is a priceless benefit for children, as they are about to enter a much larger universe with bigger academic challenges. This research supports current parental guidelines promoting children’s involvement in physical activity, “Brier concluded.
32. Why did Brier’s team follow a birth group over time
A. To test their guess. B. To check their health.
C. To offer alternative explanation. D. To record their mental conditions.
33. How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A. By doing survey on teachers.
B. By eliminating other factors.
C. By analyzing and comparing data.
D. By organizing physical activities.
34. What does Brier think of the results
A. They have broad prospect.
B. They need further testing.
C. They are beyond his imagination.
D. They are in line with his expectation.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Kids will benefit from organized sport
B. Sticking to organized sport can help kids adjust
C Organized sport promotes emotional conditions
D. School education is critical for child development

67. 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。
As a senior editor in a famous press, I always think of days twenty years before when I was 18, I lived with my grandparents, and my parents earned their living in another city, struggling to support our family. I had taken to delivering newspapers to support myself and my education.
I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometres from where I lived to the newspaper office. By 6 am, I would collect 50 copies which must have weighed over five kilograms. My delivery range spanned (横跨) three kilometres. After distributing the copies, I would rush home—another three kilometres away—cook my breakfast, and be off to my school.
One Friday morning, I got home after my deliveries, finding Afzal, a boy from the neighbourhood, at my doorstep. Afzal said his mother wanted to see me. When I asked him why, Afzal said, “She will tell you.” Tired after walking around for over 11 kilometres, I was looking forward to breakfast and some rest. I assumed his mother wished to subscribe (定期订购) to the newspaper, so I followed him to his home nearby.
A woman in her 40s opened the door. I later learned she was Afzal’s mother, Mrs Kader. She asked me to sit, pulled up her chair next to mine and gently asked, “Tell me about your routine, right from the time you wake up in the morning.” I wasn’t quite sure why she wanted to know, but I told her about my morning job in a few words. She asked me, “How many miles do you walk every day ” I replied, “A little more than 11 kilometres.” My reply shocked her.
Then she patted my back and went inside, reappearing carrying a large plate full of food for breakfast for me. It was a heart y breakfast, one that brought back memories of happy days spent with my parents. Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mrs Kader asked me to wait and she went inside again.
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。
Then Mrs Kader appeared again, with a new bicycle.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I bowed to Mrs Kader gratefully and left for school.

In 1999, Rebecca Constantino began doing a study at schools across Los Angeles. She had just completed a PhD in Language, Literacy and Learning, and she was analyzing children’s access to books in wealthy and low-income communities.
One day, she saw something that stopped her in her tracks. “I was at a school in a wealthy community, and they were getting rid of almost brand-new books because they didn’t have room in the library, “said Constantino. She put the books in her car and drove them to a school in an underserved community.
Shocked by the difference she saw in public school libraries, Constantino became determined to bridge the gap. “School libraries are not funded well, and sometimes not funded at all,” said Constantino. “If you’re a child in an underserved community, you’re left with boring, outdated, and uninteresting books. “
The word about Constantino’s work was spread, and books began piling up. Today, her nonprofit organization, Access Books, has provided more than 1. 5 million books to public-school and community libraries across California. The group has also redecorated close to 350 libraries in public schools and homeless shelters.
Constantino recruits (招募) volunteers who work alongside the community to create a warm, vibrant (充满生机的) and welcoming library space. Students and their families, as well as school staff and teachers, come together to join in. “We’re working together. It’s not a gift; it’s a partnership. It really builds a sense of community,” said Constantino.
In addition to book donations and refurbishing (再装修) libraries, the group offers author visits with schools and holds an annual writers conference for kids. Constantino said, “If we provide high-interest books and a beautiful library space, they do come and they do read. We found that in the schools that we serve, the number of books borrowed increases significantly after our coming. So we know that kids are really interested in the books that we give. My goal is that kids can always have a friend in a book and they can always turn to a book to find comfort and to learn something.”
24. Why did Constantino do the study in 1999
A. To prepare for a PhD.
B. To reduce the waste of books.
C. To donate more books to poor communities.
D. To figure out kids’ ways of gaining reading books.
25. How did Constantino bridge the gap
A. By obtaining donated books.
B. By raising money on the street.
C. By founding a profitable organization.
D By getting support from the local government.
26. Which can best describe Constantino’s work
A. Challenging. B. Successful. C. Depressing. D. Doubtful.
27. What impact does the nonprofit organization have on kids in poor communities
A. They can turn to writers on campus.
B. They are more willing to read books.
C. They donate their own books to school libraries.
D. They think the books on the shelf difficult to read.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. B

Animals being extinct from the Earth is a serious issue. When this happens in order to use their fur or skin for fashion, it is even worse, since it’s not even for a matter of human survival. That’s why a London zoo decided to make a powerful statement at the Siamese crocodile enclosure (鳄鱼围栏).
When visitors come in expecting to see a crocodile, they’re greeted with the handbag instead, making a very effective and powerful point about illegal wildlife trade and the harm it takes on the species involved.
A sign by the enclosure reads, “This bag used to be found swimming in slow-moving rivers and streams across Southeast Asia and Indonesia. Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade.”.
Native to parts of Southeast Asia, Siamese crocodiles are critically endangered and have become virtually extinct in the wild. Due to hunting as well as habitat loss, they are now absent from nearly 99% of their original range. A huge part of the decline of population is due to humans using their wetland habitat for rice farming, and things only took a turn for the worse when large-scale hunting for their skin for commercial purposes began in the 1950s.
The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was confiscated at a UK airport, according to Benjamin Tapley, leader of reptiles and amphibians at ZSL London Zoo.
Tapley told The Huffington Post, “We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. At ZSL, we are working globally with governments and local communities to protect wildlife, support law enforcement (执法) that targets illegal trade networks, empower local communities affected by IWT and reduce demand for threatened wildlife.”
28. Why does the sign say this handbag used to swim
A. It is made of a crocodile’s skin.
B. It is made into a crocodile shape.
C. It is light enough to float on water.
D. It was kept in flowing river at first.
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Wildly hunting of Siamese crocodiles.
B. Destruction of Siamese crocodiles’ habitats.
C. Commercial value of Siamese crocodiles.
D. Causes to make Siamese crocodiles endangered.
30. What does the underlined word “confiscated” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Seized. B. Sold. C. Found. D. Stolen.
31. What does Tapley’s words focus on
A. The importance of wildlife protection.
B. The crisis endangered animals are facing.
C The purpose to show the handbag.
D. The harm IWT caused.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Over the last 75 years, more than 80% of Siamese crocodiles have disappeared. Many, like this one, were hunted for their skins as part of the illegal wildlife trade. (在过去的75年里，超过80%的暹罗鳄已经消失。许多像这只这样的暹罗鳄，因为它们的皮被非法野生动物贸易的一部分而被猎杀)”可知，牌子上说这个手提包是用来游泳的，因为它是用鳄鱼皮做的。故选A。

【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线处“The particular handbag that is on display at the zoo was (在动物园展出的那个特别的手提包)”以及“at a UK airport (在英国机场)”可知，这只在动物园展出的手提包是在英国机场查封的，划线处和A项：Seized(逮住，查封)含义接近。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“We made this exhibit, within ZSL London Zoo’s Reptile House, to draw visitors’ attention to the destructive impact the Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) is having on species around the world. (我们在伦敦动物园的爬行动物馆举办了这个展览，以引起游客对非法野生动物贸易(IWT)对世界各地物种的破坏性影响的关注)”可知，塔普利的话旨在引起游客对非法野生动物贸易对世界各地物种的破坏性影响的关注。由此可知，他的意思就是展示手提包的目的上。故选C。

Thinking of getting your child to take up a sport that involves (牵涉) a coach or instructor Good news: A new study finds that children who take part in organized physical activity at a young age are less likely to have emotional difficulties by the time they turn 12.
“The elementary school years are a key time in child development, “said Frederic N. Brier, a psycho-education professor who led the study, published this month in Pediatric Research. “And every parent wants to raise a well-adjusted child. “
Researchers followed a birth group over time to examine whether continual participation in organized sport from 6 to 10 would lower risks related with emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, social pullback at the age of 12. Their goal was to test this question as critically as possible by eliminating (排除) pre-existing child or family conditions that could offer an alternative explanation.
To do this, Brier and his team examined data from a group of children born in 1997 or 1998 who are part of the Quebee Longitudinal Study of Child Development. From age 6 to 10, mothers reported whether their children participated in organized physical activity. At the age of 12, teachers reported on the children’s levels of emotional distress, anxiety, shyness, and social pullback at school.
“The results revealed that children who participated frequently from 6 to 10 showed fewer instances of those factors at the age of 12 than their peers who did not join in physical activity in a continual way, “said Brier. “We found these benefits above and beyond pre-existing individual and family characteristics.”
“Getting kids actively involved in organized sport seems to promote global development. This involvement appears to be good on a socio-emotional level and not just because of physical benefits. Being less emotionally distressed at the key stage between elementary and high school is a priceless benefit for children, as they are about to enter a much larger universe with bigger academic challenges. This research supports current parental guidelines promoting children’s involvement in physical activity, “Brier concluded.
32. Why did Brier’s team follow a birth group over time
A. To test their guess. B. To check their health.
C. To offer alternative explanation. D. To record their mental conditions.
33. How did the researchers reach their conclusion
A. By doing survey on teachers.
B. By eliminating other factors.
C. By analyzing and comparing data.
D. By organizing physical activities.
34. What does Brier think of the results
A. They have broad prospect.
B. They need further testing.
C. They are beyond his imagination.
D. They are in line with his expectation.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Kids will benefit from organized sport
B. Sticking to organized sport can help kids adjust
C. Organized sport promotes emotional conditions
D. School education is critical for child development
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B

This research supports current parental guidelines promoting children’s involvement in physical activity,” Brier concluded.(“让孩子们积极参与有组织的体育运动似乎能促进全球发展。这种参与似乎在社会情感层面上是有益的，而不仅仅是因为身体上的好处。在小学和高中之间的关键阶段，情绪上不那么痛苦对孩子来说是无价的好处，因为他们即将进入一个更大的世界，面临更大的学术挑战。这项研究支持了目前父母鼓励孩子参与体育活动的指导方针。”Brier总结说。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述的是坚持有组织的运动可以帮助孩子适应各种变化。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国最受欢迎的景点之一——神农架。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：神农架据说是炎帝曾经住过的地方。分析可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词为place，关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以空白处应用关系副词where。故填where。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意：他们实际上并没有看到任何野人，但是他们被神农架的生机勃勃的生态、丰富的生物多样性和喀斯特地貌所吸引。修饰动词see，应用副词作状语，故填actually。
【58题详解】
考查时态。句意：随着自然的发展，神农架的美景每年都在变化。根据下文“over the year as nature takes its course”可知，此处的时态要用一般现在时，结合主语Shennongjia’s beauty，是不可数名词，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，所以此处用varies。故填varies。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意：游客可以在春天赏花，在夏天乘凉，在秋天赏红叶，在冬天滑雪。作主语用名词tourist，可数名词，此处表示不止一个游客，用复数，故填Tourists。
【60题详解】
考查连词。句意：游客可以在春天赏花，在夏天乘凉，在秋天赏红叶，在冬天滑雪。根据句意，enjoy flower blossoms in spring，be shaded from the summer heat， appreciate red leaves in autumn和go skiing in winter之间是并列关系，应用并列连词and连接，故填and。
【61题详解】
考查动名词。句意：2010年，中国宣布了建设10个生态系统保护试点国家公园的计划，其中包括湖北省神农架林区。介词后接动名词作宾语，故填building。
【62题详解】
考查时态。句意：官方数据显示，去年神农架林区游客达到了1550多万人次。分析句子可知，reach是that引导的宾语从句的谓语动词，根据时间状语in 2020可知，描述过去发生的事情用一般过去时，动词使用过去式形式，故填reached。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：到2025年，森林面积的目标是在不久的将来把这个年度数字提高到3000万以上，旅游收入超过100亿元。aim to do“力求达到”，结合设空前aims，故用动词不定式作宾语。故填to increase。
【64题详解】
考查代词。句意：游客如果不驾驶自己的汽车，可以使用公共汽车服务。修饰名词用形容词性物主代词，their表示“他们的”，符合题意，故填their。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在2021年五月，神农架将与一条新建的高速铁路相连接，这将使山区变得更加便利。此处泛指“一条新建的高速铁路”，应用不定冠词，newly是辅音音素开头的单词，前边应用不定冠词a，故填a。

第二节 (满分 25分)
67. 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。
As a senior editor in a famous press, I always think of days twenty years before when I was 18, I lived with my grandparents, and my parents earned their living in another city, struggling to support our family. I had taken to delivering newspapers to support myself and my education.
I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometres from where I lived to the newspaper office. By 6 am, I would collect 50 copies which must have weighed over five kilograms. My delivery range spanned (横跨) three kilometres. After distributing the copies, I would rush home—another three kilometres away—cook my breakfast, and be off to my school.
One Friday morning, I got home after my deliveries, finding Afzal, a boy from the neighbourhood, at my doorstep. Afzal said his mother wanted to see me. When I asked him why, Afzal said, “She will tell you.” Tired after walking around for over 11 kilometres, I was looking forward to breakfast and some rest. I assumed his mother wished to subscribe (定期订购) to the newspaper, so I followed him to his home nearby.
A woman in her 40s opened the door. I later learned she was Afzal’s mother, Mrs Kader. She asked me to sit, pulled up her chair next to mine and gently asked, “Tell me about your routine, right from the time you wake up in the morning.” I wasn’t quite sure why she wanted to know, but I told her about my morning job in a few words. She asked me, “How many miles do you walk every day ” I replied, “A little more than 11 kilometres.” My reply shocked her.
Then she patted my back and went inside, reappearing carrying a large plate full of food for breakfast for me. It was a heart y breakfast, one that brought back memories of happy days spent with my parents. Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mrs Kader asked me to wait and she went inside again.
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。
Then Mrs Kader appeared again, with a new bicycle.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I bowed to Mrs Kader gratefully and left for school.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
Then Mrs Kader appeared again, with a new bicycle. It was a brand new black bicycle which I had been looking forward to owning someday. “This is for those who are in need. Therefore, it’s for you!” she said with a smile, explaining that she was impressed by my spirit of struggling for life whenever she saw my rushing figure. Mrs Kader put her arms around me, gave me a gentle hug and said, “My boy, you deserve it.” Hearing that, I was shocked and more than appreciative for her generosity and kindness. I didn’t even realize that my eyes had welled up.
I bowed to Mrs Kader gratefully and left for school. This time I did not have to walk or run in a rush every day—I had the bicycle, which really made my life much easier afterwards. With the incredible bicycle, I could deliver my papers more effectively, thus having more time left for my studies. Even after many years, I still kept this bike in good condition. It witnessed my journey to my new life, and more significantly, it reminded me of a kind-hearted gesture from a stranger.
