“You are too small, Ginny, you will never make an Olympic team,” said my first-ever rowing coach, way back in the late winter of 1978. I had just shared my dream, which was surely outsized at that point, with somebody whose opinion not only mattered, but whose emotional support could play a key role.
Then I was just 20, and still an emerging athlete. Maybe my dream wasn’t based on reality. After all, I had tried out for the national team for the first time the previous year and been cut, I lacked the height that most Olympic rowers have, not to mention much experience as an athlete, and I suffered from asthma, but still. I was shocked by my coach’s response.
Crushed not just by his choice of words, but by his certainty, I left the gym in a panic.
As I walked, I began to rethink my future, making room for my coach’s opinion, pushing my dream aside into a dark corner. A small inner voice had joined forces with the coach’s. “Maybe he’s right.” But then, another voice argued: “What does he know Why does he get to decide ” Just because my own coach didn’t have faith in me didn’t mean I had to give up on myself so quickly. By the time I arrived back at my apartment, I was mad at my coach and my dream was back on center stage.
Nothing came easy when it came to make that dream come true. I tried out for two more national teams and two different coaches cut me.
But I was driven by my love of the beauty of rowing. I wanted to row among the best and I refused to stop until I achieved my goal.
I made the 1980 team, although I did not get to compete at the Olympics. I kept training for four more years, and finally won silver at the 1984 Olympics.
All the effort was worth the wait. Everything I have today is a result of sticking with that dream. All those hours on the water, in the weight room, and in the stadium. They got me here, where I know now that great dreams need not just time to develop, but firm belief in them. If I am not going to be my own champion for my dream, no one else will. And I will not allow anyone else to decide for me what’s possible.
41. What does the “outsized” in paragraph 1 mean
A Hopeless. B. Promising C. Unrealistic. D. Large in size.
42. Which is Not Ginny’s feeling about her coach’s response when she failed to make the national team for the first time
A. Acceptable. B. Crushed. C. Frightened.. D. Shocked.
43. What did Ginny think about her future after she left the gym
A. She accepted her coach’s judgement and gave up her dream.
B. She didn’t blame her coach for not having faith in her.
C. She became mad at her coach and decided to hold on to her dream.
D. She felt upset and changed her dream to a more realistic goal.
44. Which could be the best title for this text
A. Love and Affection for Rowing B. Fighting for the Gold Medal
C. Sticking with the dream D. My Coaches and Me
45. Where is the text most likely to be found
A. In the Olympic column of a newspaper. B. In the sports column of a magazine.
C. In a research report on rowing. D. In an advertisement for a rowing club.
C
Although it’s OK for characters from Disney animations to suddenly break into songs and dances in the middle of a conversation, it’d still be strange for “real life” actors to do the same, wouldn’t it But the impromptu songs and dances are what La La Land—a musical film—is all about.
This formula of dancing and singing worked surprisingly well. The film opened last year’s Venice Film Festival, won a record- breaking seven Golden Globes in January, and it already has 14 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Costume Design. La La Land was released in China on February 14, 2017.
But why is it that a musical is making history all of a sudden It’s believed that the current social climate is driving people toward light- hearted entertainment for relief—especially movies like La La Land, which tells a simple “boy meets girl” story. The tale takes place in ever- sunny Los Angeles, where everything is painted in a positive light, which may be charming for those looking to escape the world for a short while.
“This was the only time for me since November 8 that I was successfully able to shut out all thoughts of’ Trump World’ for over two hours,” wrote The Guardian’s editor John Patterson. “La La Land, if only for a while, quite rid me of anger, cynicism and anxiety.”
This is not hard to understand if you think about the last time musical films had their moment of glory. It was more than half a century ago, back in the 1930s through the 1950s, when the Great Depression hit the US.
“Politicians often allotted Hollywood the task of ’ cheering Americans up’ during the Depression, hoping that the entertainment industry could play a key role in distracting Americans from the horrors of the economic downfall,” wrote Sydney Huber on the blog Music During the Great Depression.
Though it is a musical with a dream-like atmosphere, La La Land has its fair share of realism. The “boy meets girl” story doesn’t end in a happily-ever-after way. Instead, they have to make a choice between their relationship and their careers, like many couples in the real world.
“There is a modern energy to it,” Damien Chazelle, the film’s director, told The Independent. “It was fun to take certain characteristics from fifties musicals, but put them in a modern city and film them in a modern way, and see what resulted from that.”
46. According to the author, what would be strange for “real life” actor to do
A Sing and dance in a musical movie. B. Start singing and dancing while talking.
C. Do voice acting for Disney animations. D. Act like characters in Disney animations.
47. Why does the author mention the awards and nominations that La La Land had
A. To recommend that people should watch the film.
B. To compare La La Land with other successful films.
C. To show that the film is successful with its special formula.
D. To support that the actors act extraordinarily well in the film.
48. What can be learned from John Patterson’s words in paragraph 4
A. He was inspired to think about the current social climate w her watching the film.
B. He was absent- minded and unable to think about anything when watching the film.
C. He was upset, anxious and even angry when watching La La Land.
D. He was free from anger and anxiety when watching La La Land.
49. What can be inferred from Damien Chazelle’s remarks in the last paragraph
A. He was interested in filming modern musicals by adding in elements from the fifties.
B. He was the director of many successful musicals in the fifties.
C. He was confident that fifties musicals would become popular again.
D. He was going to make some musicals different from those in the past.
50. What does the text mainly talk about
A. La La Land was a big success and re- popularized musical films.
B. Light- hearted entertainment gives people relief from depressing situations.
C. There are similarities between the musical films nowadays and those in the 1950s.
D. People managed to escape the “Trump world” for a short time.
D
Should we focus on our goal, or on the process
What happened to Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, may provide us with the answer. She lost her balance in the 800-meter run and failed to qualify for the Olympics. Instead of focusing on her failure, she prepared to win in the next race. “I just quickly let go of what happened in the 800m and got back to my routine, to focusing on all the little things I could do that would give me the best chance of running well later in the week,” she told New York Magazine. She said it was this mindset that led to her winning third place in the 1500-meter race about a week later to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process.
There is a problem with setting goals. Researchers from Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and Northwestern found that overemphasizing goals based on measurable outcomes often leads to risk-taking, unethical (不道德的) behavior and reduced motivation. Their results were published in a Harvard Business School report titled Goals Gone Wild: The Systematic Side Effects of Over-Prescribing Goal Setting.
When you become overly focused on achieving the goal, you may lose sight of your original purpose for accomplishing the goal in the first place. Another danger is actually completing the goal without setting a plan for what’s next. For example, some marathon runners experience what’s called the “post-race blues”. Achieving your goal may cause you to drop the good habits that got you there in the first place. Dieters often experience this in what’s called “yo-yo dieting” when they drop down to a desired weight, but then gain all the weight back when they resume (重新开始) their bad habits.
“After you set a goal, it’s best to shit your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving it and to judge yourself based on how well you complete that process,” columnist Brad Stulberg wrote on the website The Cut.
Ultimately, changing your attention from goals to process will cause you to achieve little victories on your way to accomplishing long-term goals. Amy Cuddy, a Harvard Business School psychology professor, wrote that focusing on this process “leaves you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the measurable outcome”.
51. Why is Brenda Martinez’s experience mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To show opportunity favors the prepared mind.
B. To describe how important it is to set big goals.
C. To suggest learning from failure can bring success.
D. To show how focusing on the process can lead to success.
52. According to Paragraph 3, overemphasizing goals could bring about________.
A. the use of unfair means B. ignoring the whole picture
C. overestimating the setbacks D. being stressed by the risks involved
53. With the examples in Paragraph 4, the author intends to show that________.
A. we can’t focus on the goal too much
B we must keep in mind why we set the goal
C. we should resume our habits when completing the goal
D. we should accept it is normal to feel down after success
54. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A. Ways of judging a goal. B. Ways to set long-term goals.
C. The best chance of achieving goals. D. Benefits of focusing on the process.
55. The author supports his view ________.
A. by making a comparison B. by reasoning with examples
C. by giving statistics D. by doing an experiment

In October 2020, two friends and I started our gap year in Laos. We went across to Laos for cooking lessons, and it was there that I went into a middle school and helped with English lessons. Volunteering had always been put off by the idea of having to pay a company to work for nothing, but this one was free.
We moved onto Vietnam, and began to nonstop shopping, which usually we girls like. But I just wasn’t feeling it. I preferred doing something “better”, which I wanted to do. So. I left my friends and went ahead to Cambodia.
The day I arrived at an HIV orphanage (孤儿院) called House of Family, and I volunteered there before. I asked the doctor what happened to all the other orphans—there were only 30 kids at the orphanage but the popularity of HIV/ AIDS in Cambodia is among the highest in Asia. She explained that they were living at the rubbish dumps, so I went there.
I discovered children eating badly, sleeping on dirt and walking barefoot on burning poisonous waste. It was inhumane (不人道的) and unacceptable. So I came back to England, borrowed a video camera, raised 1,000 on Facebook and returned two weeks later to do the first Small Steps project. I gave boots, clothes aid, food and water to the children. Then I came home, edited the film, screened it and got an amazing reaction from the public.
I registered Small Steps as a charity and intended to repeat the project—called Around the World in 80 Dumps — on inhabited dumps around the world, to create awareness and help people. I am now the director of Small Steps, and the next project is in Nicaragua.
In the process of doing charity, I also realize that many of the people whom I have met as a volunteer are an unforgettable part of my life. Perhaps I received far more than I ever gave.

“You are too small, Ginny, you will never make an Olympic team,” said my first-ever rowing coach, way back in the late winter of 1978. I had just shared my dream, which was surely outsized at that point, with somebody whose opinion not only mattered, but whose emotional support could play a key role.
Then I was just 20, and still an emerging athlete. Maybe my dream wasn’t based on reality. After all, I had tried out for the national team for the first time the previous year and been cut, I lacked the height that most Olympic rowers have, not to mention much experience as an athlete, and I suffered from asthma, but still. I was shocked by my coach’s response.
Crushed not just by his choice of words, but by his certainty, I left the gym in a panic.
As I walked, I began to rethink my future, making room for my coach’s opinion, pushing my dream aside into a dark corner. A small inner voice had joined forces with the coach’s. “Maybe he’s right.” But then, another voice argued: “What does he know Why does he get to decide ” Just because my own coach didn’t have faith in me didn’t mean I had to give up on myself so quickly. By the time I arrived back at my apartment, I was mad at my coach and my dream was back on center stage.
Nothing came easy when it came to make that dream come true. I tried out for two more national teams and two different coaches cut me.
But I was driven by my love of the beauty of rowing. I wanted to row among the best and I refused to stop until I achieved my goal.
I made the 1980 team, although I did not get to compete at the Olympics. I kept training for four more years, and finally won silver at the 1984 Olympics.
All the effort was worth the wait. Everything I have today is a result of sticking with that dream. All those hours on the water, in the weight room, and in the stadium. They got me here, where I know now that great dreams need not just time to develop, but firm belief in them. If I am not going to be my own champion for my dream, no one else will. And I will not allow anyone else to decide for me what’s possible.
41. What does the “outsized” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Hopeless. B. Promising C. Unrealistic. D. Large in size.
42. Which is Not Ginny’s feeling about her coach’s response when she failed to make the national team for the first time
A. Acceptable. B. Crushed. C. Frightened.. D. Shocked.
43. What did Ginny think about her future after she left the gym
A. She accepted her coach’s judgement and gave up her dream.
B. She didn’t blame her coach for not having faith in her.
C. She became mad at her coach and decided to hold on to her dream.
D. She felt upset and changed her dream to a more realistic goal.
44. Which could be the best title for this text
A. Love and Affection for Rowing B. Fighting for the Gold Medal
C. Sticking with the dream D. My Coaches and Me
45. Where is the text most likely to be found
A. In the Olympic column of a newspaper. B. In the sports column of a magazine.
C. In a research report on rowing. D. In an advertisement for a rowing club.
【答案】41. C 42. A 43. C 44. C 45. B

Although it’s OK for characters from Disney animations to suddenly break into songs and dances in the middle of a conversation, it’d still be strange for “real life” actors to do the same, wouldn’t it But the impromptu songs and dances are what La La Land—a musical film—is all about.
This formula of dancing and singing worked surprisingly well. The film opened last year’s Venice Film Festival, won a record- breaking seven Golden Globes in January, and it already has 14 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Costume Design. La La Land was released in China on February 14, 2017.
But why is it that a musical is making history all of a sudden It’s believed that the current social climate is driving people toward light- hearted entertainment for relief—especially movies like La La Land, which tells a simple “boy meets girl” story. The tale takes place in ever- sunny Los Angeles, where everything is painted in a positive light, which may be charming for those looking to escape the world for a short while.
“This was the only time for me since November 8 that I was successfully able to shut out all thoughts of’ Trump World’ for over two hours,” wrote The Guardian’s editor John Patterson. “La La Land, if only for a while, quite rid me of anger, cynicism and anxiety.”
This is not hard to understand if you think about the last time musical films had their moment of glory. It was more than half a century ago, back in the 1930s through the 1950s, when the Great Depression hit the US.
“Politicians often allotted Hollywood the task of ’ cheering Americans up’ during the Depression, hoping that the entertainment industry could play a key role in distracting Americans from the horrors of the economic downfall,” wrote Sydney Huber on the blog Music During the Great Depression.
Though it is a musical with a dream-like atmosphere, La La Land has its fair share of realism. The “boy meets girl” story doesn’t end in a happily-ever-after way. Instead, they have to make a choice between their relationship and their careers, like many couples in the real world.
“There is a modern energy to it,” Damien Chazelle, the film’s director, told The Independent. “It was fun to take certain characteristics from fifties musicals, but put them in a modern city and film them in a modern way, and see what resulted from that.”
46. According to the author, what would be strange for “real life” actor to do
A. Sing and dance in a musical movie. B. Start singing and dancing while talking.
C. Do voice acting for Disney animations. D. Act like characters in Disney animations.
47. Why does the author mention the awards and nominations that La La Land had
A. To recommend that people should watch the film.
B. To compare La La Land with other successful films.
C. To show that the film is successful with its special formula.
D. To support that the actors act extraordinarily well in the film.
48. What can be learned from John Patterson’s words in paragraph 4
A. He was inspired to think about the current social climate w her watching the film.
B. He was absent- minded and unable to think about anything when watching the film.
C. He was upset, anxious and even angry when watching La La Land.
D. He was free from anger and anxiety when watching La La Land.
49. What can be inferred from Damien Chazelle’s remarks in the last paragraph
A. He was interested in filming modern musicals by adding in elements from the fifties.
B. He was the director of many successful musicals in the fifties.
C. He was confident that fifties musicals would become popular again.
D. He was going to make some musicals different from those in the past.
50. What does the text mainly talk about
A. La La Land was a big success and re- popularized musical films.
B. Light- hearted entertainment gives people relief from depressing situations.
C. There are similarities between the musical films nowadays and those in the 1950s.
D. People managed to escape the “Trump world” for a short time.
【答案】46. B 47. C 48. D 49. A 50. A
D
Should we focus on our goal, or on the process
What happened to Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, may provide us with the answer. She lost her balance in the 800-meter run and failed to qualify for the Olympics. Instead of focusing on her failure, she prepared to win in the next race. “I just quickly let go of what happened in the 800m and got back to my routine, to focusing on all the little things I could do that would give me the best chance of running well later in the week,” she told New York Magazine. She said it was this mindset that led to her winning third place in the 1500-meter race about a week later to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process.
There is a problem with setting goals. Researchers from Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and Northwestern found that overemphasizing goals based on measurable outcomes often leads to risk-taking, unethical (不道德的) behavior and reduced motivation. Their results were published in a Harvard Business School report titled Goals Gone Wild: The Systematic Side Effects of Over-Prescribing Goal Setting.
When you become overly focused on achieving the goal, you may lose sight of your original purpose for accomplishing the goal in the first place. Another danger is actually completing the goal without setting a plan for what’s next. For example, some marathon runners experience what’s called the “post-race blues”. Achieving your goal may cause you to drop the good habits that got you there in the first place. Dieters often experience this in what’s called “yo-yo dieting” when they drop down to a desired weight, but then gain all the weight back when they resume (重新开始) their bad habits.
“After you set a goal, it’s best to shit your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving it and to judge yourself based on how well you complete that process,” columnist Brad Stulberg wrote on the website The Cut.
Ultimately, changing your attention from goals to process will cause you to achieve little victories on your way to accomplishing long-term goals. Amy Cuddy, a Harvard Business School psychology professor, wrote that focusing on this process “leaves you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the measurable outcome”.
51. Why is Brenda Martinez’s experience mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To show opportunity favors the prepared mind.
B. To describe how important it is to set big goals.
C. To suggest learning from failure can bring success.
D. To show how focusing on the process can lead to success.
52. According to Paragraph 3, overemphasizing goals could bring about________.
A. the use of unfair means B. ignoring the whole picture
C. overestimating the setbacks D. being stressed by the risks involved
53. With the examples in Paragraph 4, the author intends to show that________.
A. we can’t focus on the goal too much
B. we must keep in mind why we set the goal
C. we should resume our habits when completing the goal
D. we should accept it is normal to feel down after success
54. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A. Ways of judging a goal. B. Ways to set long-term goals.
C. The best chance of achieving goals. D. Benefits of focusing on the process.
55. The author supports his view ________.
A. by making a comparison B. by reasoning with examples
C. by giving statistics D. by doing an experiment
【答案】51. D 52. A 53. B 54. D 55. B

第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
In October 2020, two friends and I started our gap year in Laos. We went across to Laos for cooking lessons, and it was there that I went into a middle school and helped with English lessons. Volunteering had always been put off by the idea of having to pay a company to work for nothing, but this one was free.
We moved onto Vietnam, and began to nonstop shopping, which usually we girls like. But I just wasn’t feeling it. I preferred doing something “better”, which I wanted to do. So. I left my friends and went ahead to Cambodia.
The day I arrived at an HIV orphanage (孤儿院) called House of Family, and I volunteered there before. I asked the doctor what happened to all the other orphans—there were only 30 kids at the orphanage but the popularity of HIV/ AIDS in Cambodia is among the highest in Asia. She explained that they were living at the rubbish dumps, so I went there.
I discovered children eating badly, sleeping on dirt and walking barefoot on burning poisonous waste. It was inhumane (不人道的) and unacceptable. So I came back to England, borrowed a video camera, raised 1,000 on Facebook and returned two weeks later to do the first Small Steps project. I gave boots, clothes aid, food and water to the children. Then I came home, edited the film, screened it and got an amazing reaction from the public.
I registered Small Steps as a charity and intended to repeat the project—called Around the World in 80 Dumps — on inhabited dumps around the world, to create awareness and help people. I am now the director of Small Steps, and the next project is in Nicaragua.
In the process of doing charity, I also realize that many of the people whom I have met as a volunteer are an unforgettable part of my life. Perhaps I received far more than I ever gave.

【答案】Chinese Spring Festival Going Officially In The United Nations
I’m Li Jin from Chenguang Middle School. I’m excited to share the news that the United Nations listed the Chinese Spring Festival as a UN holiday on December 22, 2023.
This is a remarkable event. I feel extremely proud and happy. It shows that the world is recognizing and respecting the rich and unique culture of China.
The significance of this decision is profound. It helps promote cultural exchange and understanding among different countries. More and more people around the world will have the opportunity to learn about the traditions, customs, and values of the Chinese Spring Festival. It also strengthens China’s international influence and enhances cultural confidence among Chinese people.
In a word, this is a great step forward in spreading Chinese culture and building a more inclusive global community.
