UNIT 1 Looking forwards
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
（2025·三门峡三模）“Oh， but it’s okay for you， you’re really confident，” a friend says. As a journalist， I’ve been to war zones， interviewed politicians， and delivered after-dinner speeches. But deep down， these occasions are a struggle. While I can make up a game face when needed， the common day-to-day situation can leave me uncomfortable. I’ll do anything to avoid making phone calls by booking online or ordering takeaways via apps. I’ve spent years longing for the day when those feelings disappear.
That day may have come， thanks to a new book. When Viv Groskop decided on a career change from journalist to stand-up comedian， she knew she’d have to master confidence， so made it her business to understand it. Since then she’s analysed research， interviewed people， and is sharing everything she’s discovered in a new book， Happy High Status， which is published this month.
So what is Happy High Status？ The way you feel when everything’s great — the calm， easy confidence that comes with low pressure situations and happy moments. The opposite is how we feel in stressful situations， when imposter syndrome， doubt about one’s own abilities despite achievements， is at an all-time high. “It’s how you are when you’re not questioning who you are. It’s just trying to bring that more relaxed， calm version of yourself，” explains Groskop.
“You don’t need to think that when you have a physical reaction in a pressured situation， there is something wrong with you. The trick is to take away the emotional stories you tell yourself，” she explains. “Yet you have no training as to how to feel confident when you’re doing those things.” Her advice is to take a moment — put your phone down， empty your mind of its inner worry and try to get to the low pressure version of you.
Perhaps everything I’ve worried about for so long is just part of being human， and being me， rather than some strange suffering. I’m not going to sweat it quite so much. I’m going to take a deep breath， channel the calmest， most relaxed version of me， and embrace my own Happy High Status.
1.Which is the author’s true self in daily life？ （ ）

2.What is the theme of the book Happy High Status？（ ）
A.The way to get confidence. B.The importance of being brave.

A.They are in high spirits. B.They believe in themselves.
C.They question people around. D.They seem in difficult situations.
4.What is the suggestion from Groskop to deal with stress？（ ）

（2025·辽宁模拟）What is a barrier？ It usually refers to an obstacle or a difficulty that prevents you from achieving something. Whether it was in your past， or you’re presently facing one， you have to resolve it. While many people avoid barriers， deny their existence or let barriers control themselves， what stand you take on barriers will define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge， or remain stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about barriers.
First of all， barriers give you motivation. Sometimes barriers can reset your goals. You might be faced with setbacks or difficulties， you’re forced to re-think， and re-examine your path. You may end up focusing on something new and exciting. Or， you may concentrate on something that you otherwise wouldn’t have if not for the particular setback. By having to overcome an obstacle， you’ll be fulfilling a purpose， rather than just going through the motions.
Also， barriers prepare you for the unexpected. They serve as guides for where to go next. Even though barriers can bring out many negative emotions in us， such as frustration， anger， or sadness， it’s important to realize that they don’t stop you from reaching your intended goals. Instead， they， in a way， give you time to stop and think if perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for what will happen along the way. Barriers shift your perspective.
Barriers， more often than not， are unavoidable. Life will never stop throwing you new barriers. So， the best thing to do is know how to better see and approach these obstacles， and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see barriers as being an advantage to your life， the better you’ll be at managing them.
It will be rewarding to accept barriers， which will make you constantly change and adapt to new situations， thus allowing you to grow into a better version of yourself.
5.What is the determining factor of the outcome when facing barriers？（ ）
A.Your specific goals. B.Your own attitude.
C.Your diverse preparations. D.Your strong will power.
6.Which of the following is true about barriers？（ ）
A.They bring you positive emotions. B.They prevent you from realizing your goals.
C.They are avoidable if you prepare for them well. D.They enable you to view things in a different way.
7.What does the underlined word “approach” in Paragraph 4 mean？（ ）
A.To cope with. B.To go over.
C.To come near to sb. D.To speak to sb about sth.
8.What’s the main idea of the passage？（ ）
A.Life is always throwing us barriers. B.Barriers are double-edged swords.
C.Embracing barriers benefits a lot. D.Meeting barriers is actually avoidable.

UNIT 1 Looking forwards
Ⅰ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了作者自身对于自信心的挣扎与追求，同时也介绍了一本新书对于这一问题的探讨。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，作者虽然表现的自信，但是其实不喜欢公众场合。由此推知，他是一个害羞的人。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的When Viv Groskop decided ... is published this month.可知，Happy High Status这本书的主题是获得自信的方法。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的The opposite is how we feel ... all-time high.可知，imposter syndrome是在压力大的时候出现的，所以对于患有high imposter syndrome的人，他们似乎处境艰难。
4.A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Her advice is to take a moment ... low pressure version of you.可知，Groskop对于应对压力的建议是试着保持放松。
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了什么是障碍以及障碍会给你带来的好处。接受障碍是有益的，这会让你不断改变和适应新情况，从而让你成长为一个更好的自己。
5.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的While many people avoid barriers ... remain stuck in it.以及倒数第二段中的So， the best thing to do ... for self-improvement.可推知，当面对障碍时，决定结果的因素是你自己的态度。
6.D 推理判断题。根据第二至四段内容可推知，障碍能让你以不同的方式看待事物。
7.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中and transform them into opportunities for self-improvement可知，此处为“所以，最好的办法就是知道如何更好地看待和处理这些障碍”。由此可知，画线单词approach在此处意为“处理”。
8.C 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要论述了什么是障碍以及障碍会给你带来的好处。接受障碍是有益的，这会让你不断改变和适应新情况，从而让你成长为一个更好的自己。由此可知，这篇文章的主旨是“欣然接受障碍会带来很多好处”。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了北京中央音乐学院教授李祥霆对古琴的热爱和所做的推广工作。
9.which 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为guqin，指物，从句中缺少主语，应用which引导。
10.has devoted 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。Li Xiangting是主语，a professor at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing作Li Xiangting的同位语，空处在句中作谓语。根据since his first encounter with it可知，应用现在完成时。故填has devoted。句意：在对古琴这一中国古代乐器的巨大热情驱使下，北京中央音乐学院教授李祥霆从第一次接触古琴开始，已经用了近70年的时间来掌握和推广古琴。
11.relatively 考查副词。修饰形容词unknown应用副词形式，故填relatively。句意：由于古琴相对鲜为人知，李祥霆经常被忽视。
12.but/yet 考查连词。上文谈到“人们都觉得它过时了”，下文谈到“他认为它值得有一个重要的地位”，所以上下文是转折关系，故填but/yet。句意：人们都觉得古琴已经过时了，但他认为它值得有一个重要的地位，并决心让它得到每个人的欣赏。
13.appreciated 考查非谓语动词。本句中and连接并列的谓语thought和was determined to，故本空用非谓语动词。空后的by引出动作的实施者，it与appreciate之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，此处用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填appreciated。
14.to 考查介词。introduce ... to ... 表示“把……介绍给……”，故填to。句意：为了将其介绍给全球观众，李祥霆在尊重乐器丰富传统的同时进行了创新。
15.published 考查动词的时态。空处与produced和released并列，作句子的谓语，此处也用一般过去时态。故填published。句意：后来，他还制作了教学视频，出版了书籍，并发行了专辑，极大地提高了这种乐器的受欢迎程度。
16.popularity 考查名词。the instrument’s是名词所有格形式，本空应用名词形式，故填popularity。
17.their 考查代词。修饰名词efforts应用形容词性物主代词。故填their。句意：在他们的努力下，联合国教科文组织于2003年将这项艺术认定为人类非物质（文化）遗产。
18.serving 考查非谓语动词。本句话中has followed是谓语动词，本空用非谓语动词形式。Li Pengpeng和serve as之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用动词-ing形式作伴随状语。句意：此外，他的女儿李蓬蓬也跟随父亲的脚步，担任中国传统文化的宣传大使。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
（2025·三门峡三模）“Oh， but it’s okay for you， you’re
really confident，” a friend says. As a journalist， I’ve been to war
zones， interviewed politicians， and delivered after-dinner speeches.
But deep down， these occasions are a struggle. While I can make up a
game face when needed， the common day-to-day situation can leave me
uncomfortable. I’ll do anything to avoid making phone calls by booking
online or ordering takeaways via apps. I’ve spent years longing for the
day when those feelings disappear.
That day may have come， thanks to a new book. When Viv Groskop decided on a career change from journalist to stand-up comedian， she knew she’d have to master confidence， so made it her business to understand it. Since then she’s analysed research， interviewed people， and is sharing everything she’s discovered in a new book， Happy High Status， which is published this month.
So what is Happy High Status？ The way you feel when everything’s great — the calm， easy confidence that comes with low pressure situations and happy moments. The opposite is how we feel in stressful situations， when imposter syndrome， doubt about one’s own abilities despite achievements， is at an all-time high. “It’s how you are when you’re not questioning who you are. It’s just trying to bring that more relaxed， calm version of yourself，” explains Groskop.
“You don’t need to think that when you have a physical reaction in
a pressured situation， there is something wrong with you. The trick is to
take away the emotional stories you tell yourself，” she explains. “Yet
you have no training as to how to feel confident when you’re doing those
things.” Her advice is to take a moment — put your phone down， empty your mind of its inner worry and try to get to the low pressure version of you.
Perhaps everything I’ve worried about for so long is just part of
being human， and being me， rather than some strange suffering. I’m
not going to sweat it quite so much. I’m going to take a deep breath，
channel the calmest， most relaxed version of me， and embrace my own
Happy High Status.

（2025·辽宁模拟）What is a barrier？ It usually refers to an
obstacle or a difficulty that prevents you from achieving something.
Whether it was in your past， or you’re presently facing one， you have
to resolve it. While many people avoid barriers， deny their existence or
let barriers control themselves， what stand you take on barriers will
define the outcome of whether you rise from the challenge， or remain
stuck in it. Here are some more great things to love about barriers.
First of all， barriers give you motivation. Sometimes barriers can
reset your goals. You might be faced with setbacks or difficulties，
you’re forced to re-think， and re-examine your path. You may end up
focusing on something new and exciting. Or， you may concentrate on
something that you otherwise wouldn’t have if not for the particular
setback. By having to overcome an obstacle， you’ll be fulfilling a
purpose， rather than just going through the motions.
Also， barriers prepare you for the unexpected. They serve as guides
for where to go next. Even though barriers can bring out many negative
emotions in us， such as frustration， anger， or sadness， it’s
important to realize that they don’t stop you from reaching your intended
goals. Instead， they， in a way， give you time to stop and think if
perhaps there is a new and better path to take and what you can prepare for
what will happen along the way. Barriers shift your perspective.
Barriers， more often than not， are unavoidable. Life will never
stop throwing you new barriers. So， the best thing to do is know how to
better see and approach these obstacles， and transform them into
opportunities for self-improvement. The more you’re able to see barriers
as being an advantage to your life， the better you’ll be at managing
them.
It will be rewarding to accept barriers， which will make you
constantly change and adapt to new situations， thus allowing you to grow
into a better version of yourself.

9. which 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为
guqin，指物，从句中缺少主语，应用which引导。
10. has devoted 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。Li Xiangting是主语，a
professor at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing作Li Xiangting的
同位语，空处在句中作谓语。根据since his first encounter with it可
知，应用现在完成时。故填has devoted。句意：在对古琴这一中国古
代乐器的巨大热情驱使下，北京中央音乐学院教授李祥霆从第一次接
触古琴开始，已经用了近70年的时间来掌握和推广古琴。
11. relatively 考查副词。修饰形容词unknown应用副词形式，故填
relatively。句意：由于古琴相对鲜为人知，李祥霆经常被忽视。
12. but/yet 考查连词。上文谈到“人们都觉得它过时了”，下文谈
到“他认为它值得有一个重要的地位”，所以上下文是转折关系，故
填but/yet。句意：人们都觉得古琴已经过时了，但他认为它值得有一
个重要的地位，并决心让它得到每个人的欣赏。
13. appreciated 考查非谓语动词。本句中and连接并列的谓语thought
和was determined to，故本空用非谓语动词。空后的by引出动作的实
施者，it与appreciate之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，此处用过去分词作宾
语补足语。故填appreciated。
14. to 考查介词。introduce ... to ... 表示“把……介绍给……”，
故填to。句意：为了将其介绍给全球观众，李祥霆在尊重乐器丰富传
统的同时进行了创新。
15. published 考查动词的时态。空处与produced和released并列，作
句子的谓语，此处也用一般过去时态。故填published。句意：后来，
他还制作了教学视频，出版了书籍，并发行了专辑，极大地提高了这
种乐器的受欢迎程度。
16. popularity 考查名词。the instrument’s是名词所有格形式，本空
应用名词形式，故填popularity。
17. their 考查代词。修饰名词efforts应用形容词性物主代词。故填
their。句意：在他们的努力下，联合国教科文组织于2003年将这项艺
术认定为人类非物质（文化）遗产。
18. serving 考查非谓语动词。本句话中has followed是谓语动词，本
空用非谓语动词形式。Li Pengpeng和serve as之间是逻辑上的主谓关
系，应用动词-ing形式作伴随状语。句意：此外，他的女儿李蓬蓬也
跟随父亲的脚步，担任中国传统文化的宣传大使。
演示完毕 感谢观看 !
