UNIT 2 SUCCESS
【语篇填空】
There is a word “strive” in the entry of the encyclopaedia. It describes this word at length: If you strive to do something or strive for something, you'll make great efforts to do it or get it. I consider it suitable for the following two.
One is Williams, an outstanding rugby player and a triathlete. He has applied himself to the bitter workout for about ten years. The intensity of the two sports is 1. (extreme) high. He pushes himself to the limits, as a result, he ruins family holidays and skips nights out. Above all, he has made enormous efforts and sacrifices, but failed and 2. (injure) countless times. However, he keeps persistent and optimistic rather than giving up.He is so enthusiastic about the sports career that he is 3. (commit) to the training. What he wants boils down 4. success. He knows the arena is the platform to show his talents and that he has to be above average in all aspects. He likes to play an offensive game rather than a defensive one, 5. sets him apart from the average. Finally, he won the championship in great style.
The other is Jason, who used to be a college academic professor. A few years ago, his great invention was put into production, which made it possible for him to get promoted, make a fortune and become a millionaire. After 6. (retire) from the leadership of his team, he could have lived comfortably. When referring to the news that many village children suffer from poverty and hunger, he felt guilty for his getting on and thought his life made no sense.7. occurred to him that everyone should contribute to society and have the spirit of devotion, so he was determined to do something. He donated most of his income to a village school so that the children would not drop out, which was his ultimate goal. He also founded the construction of a student dormitory and hired some 8. (employ)to equip the teachers' offices with advanced furniture in cooperation with other orgnisations. Now he still devotes himself to helping the poor and has become an influential figure. It 9. (recognise)that he is the symbol of kindness and commitment, which has been appreciated by us all.
The deeds of the both are motivating and make the young 10. (convince) that their faith cannot collapse and that they should keep moving forward with an ambitious heart.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Passage 1
（2023·浙江杭州模拟）At St. Francis High School in La Canada, Calif.,
there's something to be said about math teacher Jim Connor.
Truth is, Connor can be a bit of a drudge. But the 70-year-old Vietnam vet
says he's not here to entertain his students. “It drives me crazy when people say
school should be fun,” he says. “I mean, it's nice if it could be, but you can't
make school fun.”
And for years, the kids thought that's all there was to him—until last
November, when senior Pat McGoldrick learned they didn't know the half of him.
Pat was in charge of a student blood drive and had just come to Children's
Hospital Los Angeles for a meeting. And he says it was weird: whenever he told
someone he went to St. Francis High School, they all said, “Oh, you must know
Jim Connor. Isn't he wonderful ”
“It was disbelief, really,” Pat says. “It was almost kind of finding this alter
ego（另一面） that he has.” Inside the blood donor center, Pat found a plaque
（纪念匾） listing all the top blood donors at the hospital, including the record
holder, Jim Connor. Then he learned something even more unbelievable: that
whenever Connor isn't torturing kids with calculus（微积分）, he's on a whole
other tangent—cuddling sick babies. Three days a week for the past 20 years, Jim
has volunteered at the hospital, stepping in and becoming involved in an activity
when parents can't, to hold, feed and comfort their children.
“They tend to calm for him,” Nurse Erin says. “They tend to relax with him.
They fall asleep with him.”
“I just like them and relate to them somehow,” Connor says.
Connor has never been married; he has no kids of his own. But he has fallen
hard for these babies.
“I've always respected him, but now it's to an even different degree—really to
the point where I try to emulate him,” Pat says. “He's the epitome of a man of
service.”

NASA astronauts have a love of science and adventure and are highly trained
in their fields. Dr Mae C. Jemison is no exception.
Dr Jemison was born in Alabama in 1956 and grew up in Chicago. After
graduating from Morgan Park High School in 1973, she went on to attend Stanford
University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering. In 1981,
she received a Doctor of Medicine degree from Cornell University. While enrolled
at Cornell Medical School, Dr Jemison traveled to Cuba, Kenya and Thailand,
providing primary medical care to the people living in these nations.
Dr Jemison returned to the US and worked with CIGNA Health Plans of
California as a general practitioner. She enrolled in graduate classes in engineering
and applied to NASA for admission to the astronaut program. She joined the corps
and successfully completed her astronaut training in 1987, becoming the fifth black
astronaut and the first black female astronaut in NASA history. She was the science
mission specialist on STS-47, a cooperative mission between the US and Japan. Dr
Jemison was a co-investigator on the bone cell research experiment.
Dr Jemison left NASA in 1993. She is currently a professor at Cornell
University and is a proponent of science education in the schools, particularly
encouraging minority students to pursue STEM careers. She founded the Jemison
Group to research and develop technology for daily life, and is heavily involved in
the 100 Year Starship Project. She also created BioSentient Corp, a company aimed
at developing portable technology to monitor the nervous system, with an eye
toward treating a variety of related disorders and illnesses.
Jemison has often told students not to let anyone stand in the way of getting
what they want. “I had to learn very early not to limit myself due to others'
limited imagination,” she said. “I have learned these days never to limit anyone
else due to my limited imagination.”
