(2024河南郑州月考)
I have learned a great many things from playing football. And it has changed my entire attitude towards life.
In my freshman year at high school, I was shy, had low self-confidence and kept away from seemingly impossible challenges. On the first day of freshman practice, the team warmed up with a game of touch football. However, during the game, I didn't run as hard as I could, nor did I try to escape from my defender and get open. The fact of the matter was that I really didn't want to be the one at fault if I dropped the ball and the play didn't succeed. I didn't want to take the responsibility of helping the team because I was too afraid of making a mistake. That aspect of my character led the first year of my high school life. I avoided asking questions in class, afraid they might be considered too stupid by my classmates.
During my second-year season, my position at the backup guard led me to play in the games since another backup guard on my team was seriously injured. From then on, I made mistakes sometimes and was blamed by my coaches indeed. However, those criticisms didn't make my teammates look down upon me; they helped me a lot. At times I made great plays on which I was congratulated. Now, I feel like a changed person.
Over the years, playing football has taught me what it takes to succeed. From months of tough practices, I have learned to work hard. From my coaches and teammates, I have learned to work well with others in a group. But most importantly, I have gained self-confidence. I realize that it is necessary to risk failure in order to gain success. Now, I welcome the challenge.

C.They were unsatisfied with the team's performance.
D.They regarded the author as the most important player.
3.What is the most important thing the author learned from playing football
A.Practice makes perfect. B.You get what you pay off.
C.Many hands make light work. D.Self-confidence is the key to success.
4.What's the author's purpose of writing the text

(2023北大附中期中)
Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I've ever had: Be bold and brave—and mighty(强大的) forces will come to your aid.
Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. That is, faced with difficulties, I threw in the towel. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.
Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas—even physical strength greater than most of us realize.
Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹)—and stopped him cold.”
Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks(挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.
So, always try to motivate yourself to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you'll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.
5.Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past
A.He faced huge risks. B.He lacked mighty forces.
C.Fear prevented him from trying. D.Failure blocked his way to success.
6.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part
A.Swallow more than you can digest. B.Act slightly above your abilities.
C.Develop more mysterious powers. D.Learn to make creative decisions.
7.What was especially important for Tim's successful defense in the football game
A.His physical strength. B.His basic skill.
C.His real fear. D.His spiritual force.
8.What is the author's purpose of writing this passage
A.To encourage people to be courageous. B.To advise people to build up physical power.
C.To tell people the ways to guarantee success. D.To recommend people to rely on themselves.

Unit 2 Improving yourself
Part 1 Starting out & Understanding ideas
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.profile 2.motivated 3.switched 4.distracted
5.security
Ⅱ.1.reliable 考查形容词。根据who are及and worthy可知此处应用形容词作表语,与worthy并列;由True friends可知此处表示“可信赖的”,故填reliable。
2.occupation 考查名词。根据Her father's、influenced her及提示词可知,此处应用名词作主语。此处表示“职业”,故填occupation。
3.on 考查介词。句意:起初,我认为她的想法不可思议,但经过认真思考,我意识到她说的话有些道理。on reflection经再三考虑。
4.it 考查代词。句意:你可以相信,这支有竞争力的队伍会提前完成任务的。“rely on it that...”表示“相信/指望……”,it作形式宾语,that从句作真正的宾语。故填it。
5.to take 考查动词不定式。be persuaded to do sth.被说服去做某事。
6.will be accessed 考查时态和语态。句意:你的申请将由联合国教科文组织管理人员访问,并将在我们的数据库中保存6个月。由后面的and will stay可知要用一般将来时。结合语境可知,主语Your application与access之间为被动关系,需用被动语态。故填will be accessed。

Ⅲ.1.step away from 2.throw in the towel 3.check out
4.miss out on

能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.a 考查冠词。此处表示“社交媒体脱瘾是一项为新运动器材筹款的活动”,campaign为可数名词,意为“活动,运动”,此处表示泛指,指“一项活动”,应用不定冠词;fundraising的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
2.using 考查动名词。此处表示“一百多名学生被说服停止使用社交媒体七天”,应用stop doing sth.,意为“停止做某事”。
3.spent 考查过去分词。句中已有谓语动词had been promised,空处应用非谓语动词。由语境可知,“each day 3 without using social media”表示“不使用社交媒体的每一天”,则设空处作后置定语修饰each day;each day与spend为逻辑上的被动关系,应用过去分词作定语。故填spent。
4.devices 考查名词的数。device为可数名词,空前没有冠词修饰,结合语境及空前的their可知此处应用名词复数作switched on的宾语。
5.threw 考查时态。该句中who引导定语从句,设空处为主句的谓语,该活动发生在过去,指过去的事应用一般过去时,故填threw。
6.accessible 考查形容词。分析句子结构可知,设空处作系动词aren't的表语;结合语境可知此处表示“即使不能使用社交媒体,他们仍然可以享受丰富多彩的生活”,由此可知设空处表示“可使用的”,应用形容词作表语,故填accessible。
7.what 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知, is为系动词,因此is前面为主语,“ 7 has been raised through the detox”为设空处引导的主语从句,设空处在从句中作主语,表示“……的东西”,故填what。
8.awareness 考查名词。由空前的定冠词the和空后的介词of可知,设空处应用名词;结合语境可知此处指通过脱瘾活动“我们”意识到后边所说的内容,设空处表示“意识”,应用名词awareness。
9.on/upon 考查介词。rely on/upon sth.依赖/依靠某物。
10.to step 考查动词不定式。it's time for sb. to do sth.意为“是某人做某事的时候了”。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是目前社会上存在的一种现象,到处可以看到每个人都只专注于他们的智能手机,在某种程度上人们被智能手机控制着。
1.surrounded 考查非谓语动词。句意:我乘坐地铁时经常发现自己被几十名玩智能手机的乘客包围。此处使用了“find+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,宾语myself和surround之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词作宾语补足语,故答案为surrounded。
2.to kill 考查非谓语动词。句意:你可能认为依靠智能手机来消磨时间很正常。rely on...to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“依靠/依赖……做某事”。故答案为to kill。
3.annoyance 考查名词。句意:更糟糕的是,当我和我的一些朋友聊天时,他们边玩智能手机边说话,这真的很烦人。根据an可知此空用名词形式;表示“烦人的事”,故答案为annoyance。
4.chatted 考查动词的时态。句意:我很怀念以前在火车上和一些乘客聊天的日子。结合句意可知此处指过去的事情,所以此处用一般过去时,故答案为chatted。
5.on 考查介词。句意:每个人都只专注于他们的智能手机。concentrate on集中注意力于……,故答案为on。
6.it 考查固定句型。句意:当你与那些玩智能手机的人交谈时,你似乎在打扰他们。it seems that...为固定句型,意为“似乎/好像……”,故答案为it。
7.largely 考查副词。句意:有时我只是觉得我们在很大程度上忽视了身边的人,而想通过互联网与远方的陌生人保持联系。ignore是动词,由副词来修饰,故答案为largely。
8.distant 考查形容词。句意同上。strangers是名词,由形容词来修饰;此处表示“远处的”,故答案为distant。
9.How 考查感叹句。句意:这种情况多么可笑啊!“ 9 ridiculous the situation is!”为“感叹词+形容词+主语+谓语!”结构的感叹句,此处ridiculous是形容词,用how来修饰。故答案为How。
10.are controlled 考查动词的时态、语态及主谓一致。句意:在某种程度上,我们现在被智能手机控制着。此处指目前的一种事实,应用一般现在时。句子主语we与control之间是被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为复数,故答案为are controlled。
【高频词汇】 1.glance n.一瞥 2.blame vt.责备
3.care about在意
Ⅲ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在高中一年级时害羞且不自信,怕犯错,怕承担责任,因而逃避一切可能犯错的机会,但在高二时,因机缘巧合真正参与了足球运动,在比赛中,教练与队友的包容和鼓励改变了作者,使他变成了一个勇于接受挑战且充满自信的人。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In my freshman year at high school, I was shy, had low self-confidence and kept away from seemingly impossible challenges.”“I didn't want to take the responsibility of helping the team because I was too afraid of making a mistake.”和“I avoided asking questions in class, afraid they might be considered too stupid by my classmates.”可知,作者在高一时害羞、不自信,拒绝任何挑战,因害怕犯错而不想承担责任,课上不敢问问题。由此可推知,作者在高一时缺乏自信,害怕犯错误,是个胆怯的孩子。fearful胆怯的。故选D。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However, those criticisms didn't make my teammates look down upon me; they helped me a lot. At times I made great plays on which I was congratulated.”可知,作者被教练批评后作者的队友们并没有看不起他,反而给了他很大的帮助,作者表现好时队友们会祝贺他。由此可推知,队友们非常友好和热心。故选A。
3.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,作者学到了要自信,敢于冒险对取得成功很重要。故选D(自信是成功的关键)。
4.C 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了作者高中时期自身的转变,由此可知作者是在分享他人生重要的成长经历。故选C。
【高频词汇】 1.at fault 有责任,有过错 2.criticism n.批评 3.look down upon 轻视,看不起 4.at times有时
5.congratulate v.祝贺
【差距词汇】 drop the ball 犯错;失误;处理失当
长难句
原句 The fact of the matter was that I really didn't want to be the one at fault if I dropped the ball and the play didn't succeed.
分析 本句为主从复合句。that引导表语从句,该从句中又含有if引导的条件状语从句。
译文 事实是,如果我出了差错,比赛没有获胜,我真的不想成为那个有过错的人。
B
◎语篇解读 本文为议论文。作者通过朋友的建议告诉读者,要勇敢地去尝试自己没有把握的事情,即便失败也比从未尝试过要好很多。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“Those words made me see clearly that...It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.”可知,作者过去没有实现目标通常是因为害怕失败而没有去尝试。故选C。
6.B 词义猜测题。根据画线部分后文“And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are...than most of us realize.”可知,大胆是一种强大的力量,这种强大的力量是我们拥有的潜在力量:精力、技巧、合理的判断、创造性的想法,甚至是比我们大多数人所意识到的更强大的体力。再结合第四段中的“those mighty forces are spiritual ones”、第五段中的“Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme”和最后一段中的“always try to motivate yourself to live a little bit beyond your abilities”可推断,画线部分所在句是说大胆意味着一种“做略超出自己能力的事”的决定。故选B。
7.D 推理判断题。题干说的是Tim的故事,定位到第四段。根据本段主旨句“Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones.(诚然,那些强大的力量是精神上的。)”及本段最后一句中的“I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet—and stopped him cold”可知,Tim有着强大的精神力量,因此他能够成功防守。故选D。
8.A 推理判断题。文章最后一段以So引出作者的写作目的:作者建议读者尽力激励自我尝试略微超出自己能力的事情,这样就会发现自己的能力比想象中的更大。也就是说作者鼓励人们要勇敢,故选A。
【高频词汇】 1.involve v.包含,需要;牵涉
2.circumstance n.客观环境;命运 3.possess v.拥有
4.admittedly adv.诚然,无可否认 5.spiritual adj.精神上的 6.desperately adv.绝望地 7.extend v.使达到,使延伸 8.extreme n.极限 9.acquire v.获得 10.build up(使)逐渐增强,(使)逐渐变大
【熟词生义】 cold adv.突然;完全;毫无准备地
【差距词汇】 1.bold adj.大胆自信的;敢于冒险的;轮廓突出的;黑体的 boldness n.大胆 2.plunge into投入,跳进;热情投入,贸然行动 3.confront v.面对,对抗;正视;与……对峙
长难句
原句 On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.
分析 本句是主从复合句。whenever引导让步状语从句;主句中until引导时间状语从句。forced by courage or circumstance是过去分词短语作状语,表示原因。
译文 另一方面,由于勇气或客观环境的驱使,无论何时我跳入深水,我总是能一直游到双脚重新站在地面上为止。

Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you are sure you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas—even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

6.will be accessed 考查时态和语态。句意:你的申请将由联合国教科文组织管理人员访问,并将在我们的数据库中保存6个月。由后面的and will stay可知要用一般将来时。结合语境可知,主语Your application与access之间为被动关系,需用被动语态。故填will be accessed。

能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.a 考查冠词。此处表示“社交媒体脱瘾是一项为新运动器材筹款的活动”,campaign为可数名词,意为“活动,运动”,此处表示泛指,指“一项活动”,应用不定冠词;fundraising的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
2.using 考查动名词。此处表示“一百多名学生被说服停止使用社交媒体七天”,应用stop doing sth.,意为“停止做某事”。
3.spent 考查过去分词。句中已有谓语动词had been promised,空处应用非谓语动词。由语境可知,“each day 3 without using social media”表示“不使用社交媒体的每一天”,则设空处作后置定语修饰each day;each day与spend为逻辑上的被动关系,应用过去分词作定语。故填spent。
4.devices 考查名词的数。device为可数名词,空前没有冠词修饰,结合语境及空前的their可知此处应用名词复数作switched on的宾语。
5.threw 考查时态。该句中who引导定语从句,设空处为主句的谓语,该活动发生在过去,指过去的事应用一般过去时,故填threw。
6.accessible 考查形容词。分析句子结构可知,设空处作系动词aren't的表语;结合语境可知此处表示“即使不能使用社交媒体,他们仍然可以享受丰富多彩的生活”,由此可知设空处表示“可使用的”,应用形容词作表语,故填accessible。
7.what 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知, is为系动词,因此is前面为主语,“ 7 has been raised through the detox”为设空处引导的主语从句,设空处在从句中作主语,表示“……的东西”,故填what。
8.awareness 考查名词。由空前的定冠词the和空后的介词of可知,设空处应用名词;结合语境可知此处指通过脱瘾活动“我们”意识到后边所说的内容,设空处表示“意识”,应用名词awareness。
9.on/upon 考查介词。rely on/upon sth.依赖/依靠某物。
10.to step 考查动词不定式。it's time for sb. to do sth.意为“是某人做某事的时候了”。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是目前社会上存在的一种现象,到处可以看到每个人都只专注于他们的智能手机,在某种程度上人们被智能手机控制着。
1.surrounded 考查非谓语动词。句意:我乘坐地铁时经常发现自己被几十名玩智能手机的乘客包围。此处使用了“find+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,宾语myself和surround之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词作宾语补足语,故答案为surrounded。
2.to kill 考查非谓语动词。句意:你可能认为依靠智能手机来消磨时间很正常。rely on...to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“依靠/依赖……做某事”。故答案为to kill。
3.annoyance 考查名词。句意:更糟糕的是,当我和我的一些朋友聊天时,他们边玩智能手机边说话,这真的很烦人。根据an可知此空用名词形式;表示“烦人的事”,故答案为annoyance。

5.on 考查介词。句意:每个人都只专注于他们的智能手机。concentrate on集中注意力于……,故答案为on。
6.it 考查固定句型。句意:当你与那些玩智能手机的人交谈时,你似乎在打扰他们。it seems that...为固定句型,意为“似乎/好像……”,故答案为it。
7.largely 考查副词。句意:有时我只是觉得我们在很大程度上忽视了身边的人,而想通过互联网与远方的陌生人保持联系。ignore是动词,由副词来修饰,故答案为largely。
8.distant 考查形容词。句意同上。strangers是名词,由形容词来修饰;此处表示“远处的”,故答案为distant。
9.How 考查感叹句。句意:这种情况多么可笑啊!“ 9 ridiculous the situation is!”为“感叹词+形容词+主语+谓语!”结构的感叹句,此处ridiculous是形容词,用how来修饰。故答案为How。
10.are controlled 考查动词的时态、语态及主谓一致。句意:在某种程度上,我们现在被智能手机控制着。此处指目前的一种事实,应用一般现在时。句子主语we与control之间是被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为复数,故答案为are controlled。

Ⅲ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在高中一年级时害羞且不自信,怕犯错,怕承担责任,因而逃避一切可能犯错的机会,但在高二时,因机缘巧合真正参与了足球运动,在比赛中,教练与队友的包容和鼓励改变了作者,使他变成了一个勇于接受挑战且充满自信的人。
1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In my freshman year at high school, I was shy, had low self-confidence and kept away from seemingly impossible challenges.”“I didn't want to take the responsibility of helping the team because I was too afraid of making a mistake.”和“I avoided asking questions in class, afraid they might be considered too stupid by my classmates.”可知,作者在高一时害羞、不自信,拒绝任何挑战,因害怕犯错而不想承担责任,课上不敢问问题。由此可推知,作者在高一时缺乏自信,害怕犯错误,是个胆怯的孩子。fearful胆怯的。故选D。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However, those criticisms didn't make my teammates look down upon me; they helped me a lot. At times I made great plays on which I was congratulated.”可知,作者被教练批评后作者的队友们并没有看不起他,反而给了他很大的帮助,作者表现好时队友们会祝贺他。由此可推知,队友们非常友好和热心。故选A。
3.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,作者学到了要自信,敢于冒险对取得成功很重要。故选D(自信是成功的关键)。
4.C 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了作者高中时期自身的转变,由此可知作者是在分享他人生重要的成长经历。故选C。
【高频词汇】 1.at fault 有责任,有过错 2.criticism n.批评 3.look down upon 轻视,看不起 4.at times有时
5.congratulate v.祝贺
【差距词汇】 drop the ball 犯错;失误;处理失当
长难句
原句 The fact of the matter was that I really didn't want to be the one at fault if I dropped the ball and the play didn't succeed.
分析 本句为主从复合句。that引导表语从句,该从句中又含有if引导的条件状语从句。
译文 事实是,如果我出了差错,比赛没有获胜,我真的不想成为那个有过错的人。
B
◎语篇解读 本文为议论文。作者通过朋友的建议告诉读者,要勇敢地去尝试自己没有把握的事情,即便失败也比从未尝试过要好很多。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“Those words made me see clearly that...It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.”可知,作者过去没有实现目标通常是因为害怕失败而没有去尝试。故选C。
6.B 词义猜测题。根据画线部分后文“And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are...than most of us realize.”可知,大胆是一种强大的力量,这种强大的力量是我们拥有的潜在力量:精力、技巧、合理的判断、创造性的想法,甚至是比我们大多数人所意识到的更强大的体力。再结合第四段中的“those mighty forces are spiritual ones”、第五段中的“Boldness—a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme”和最后一段中的“always try to motivate yourself to live a little bit beyond your abilities”可推断,画线部分所在句是说大胆意味着一种“做略超出自己能力的事”的决定。故选B。
7.D 推理判断题。题干说的是Tim的故事,定位到第四段。根据本段主旨句“Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones.(诚然,那些强大的力量是精神上的。)”及本段最后一句中的“I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet—and stopped him cold”可知,Tim有着强大的精神力量,因此他能够成功防守。故选D。
8.A 推理判断题。文章最后一段以So引出作者的写作目的:作者建议读者尽力激励自我尝试略微超出自己能力的事情,这样就会发现自己的能力比想象中的更大。也就是说作者鼓励人们要勇敢,故选A。
【高频词汇】 1.involve v.包含,需要;牵涉
2.circumstance n.客观环境;命运 3.possess v.拥有
4.admittedly adv.诚然,无可否认 5.spiritual adj.精神上的 6.desperately adv.绝望地 7.extend v.使达到,使延伸 8.extreme n.极限 9.acquire v.获得 10.build up(使)逐渐增强,(使)逐渐变大
【熟词生义】 cold adv.突然;完全;毫无准备地
【差距词汇】 1.bold adj.大胆自信的;敢于冒险的;轮廓突出的;黑体的 boldness n.大胆 2.plunge into投入,跳进;热情投入,贸然行动 3.confront v.面对,对抗;正视;与……对峙
长难句
原句 On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.
分析 本句是主从复合句。whenever引导让步状语从句;主句中until引导时间状语从句。forced by courage or circumstance是过去分词短语作状语,表示原因。
译文 另一方面,由于勇气或客观环境的驱使,无论何时我跳入深水,我总是能一直游到双脚重新站在地面上为止。
