Just being smart doesn’t mean someone will be successful.And just because someone is less smart doesn’t mean that person will fail.That’s one take-home message from the work of people like Angela Duckworth.
She works at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.Like many other researchers，Duckworth wondered what makes one person more successful than another.When digging deeper，Duckworth found that the people who performed best shared a quality independent of smarts.They had what she now calls grit(毅力)．Duckworth developed a set of questions to test it.
In one study of people aged 25 and older，she found that as people age，they become more likely to stick with a project.She also found that grit increases with education.People who had finished college scored higher in the grit test than people who quit before graduation did.People who went to graduate school after college scored even higher.
She then did another study with college students.Duckworth wanted to see how smarts and grit influenced performance in school.So she compared scores on college-entrance exams，which test IQ，to school grades and someone’s score in the grit test.Students with higher grades seem to have more grit.That’s not surprising.Getting good grades takes both smarts and hard work.
But some people counter that this grit means success.Among those people is Marcus Credé，a teacher at Iowa State University in Ames.He recently showed the results of 88 studies on grit.Together，nearly 67,000 people took part in these studies.And grit did not predict success，Credé found.
However，he thinks grit is very similar to someone’s ability to set goals，work toward them and think things through before acting.It’s a basic personality quality，Credé notes—not something that can be changed.
“Study habits and skills，test anxiety and class attendance are far more strongly connected to school grades than grit，” Credé says.“We can teach students how to study well.We can help them with their test anxiety，” he adds.“I’m not sure we can do that with grit.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Angela Duckworth和Marcus Credé各自关于成功与毅力之间关系的研究。
1．What can we know from the first two paragraphs
A．Grit decides how smart one might be.
B．Grit is a quality dependent on smarts.
C．Success has nothing to do with smarts.
D．Smart people may not succeed.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Just being smart doesn’t mean someone will be successful.”可知，聪明的人未必会成功。故选D。
2．What might influence a person’s grit according to Angela Duckworth’s findings
A．Lifestyles. B．Family tradition.
C．Education. D．Personality types.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，毅力随着教育程度的提高而增加。在毅力测试中，大学毕业的人比毕业前辍学的人得分要高，大学毕业后去读研的人得分更高。因此Angela Duckworth发现，教育程度可以影响一个人的毅力。故选C。
3．What does the underlined word “counter” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Doubt. B．Reply.
C．Accept. D．Warn.
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词的上一段中“Students with higher grades seem to have more grit.”可知，成绩越高的学生似乎更有毅力，再结合画线词前的But表转折以及本段中的“grit did not predict success”推知，一些人反对“毅力意味着成功”这个观点，counter意思应该是“反对，质疑”，与doubt意思相近。故选A。
4．What is Credé’s opinion about grit
A．It is strongly related to test anxiety.
B．It can hardly be taught in school.
C．It should be paid no attention to in teaching.
D．It can’t influence students’ school grades.
答案 B
解析 观点态度题。根据倒数第二段末句及最后一段中“‘We can teach students how to study well.We can help them with their test anxiety，’he adds. ‘I’m not sure we can do that with grit.’”可知，在Credé看来，毅力这种品质无法在学校中教授。故选B。
B
Growing up in a small village in southern Ghana，Osei Boateng watched many of his family members and neighbors struggle to access basic health care.In many regions of the country，it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital.Boateng said many people lost their lives due to preventable or treatable diseases.His grandmother and aunt were among them.
Feeling an urgent call to help，Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana where education and preventative health care were lacking.
Boateng wanted to find a way to remove these barriers to health care access and education.He started his nonprofit organization，OKB Hope Foundation.In 2021，he converted(转变) a van(面包车) into a mobile doctor’s office and started bringing health care directly to those in need.A few times a week，the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities and provide free routine medical care.
On each trip，Boateng’s team is made up of a nurse，a physician assistant，a doctor，and an operation assistant.In the van，they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis(尿液分析) as well as provide medicine.“It’s like a one-stop shop for people，” said Boateng，adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another.Since its launch，the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care，according to Boateng.
Boateng has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation，recently quitting his job to dedicate(奉献) his time to bringing health care to his home country.But for him，the sacrifices(牺牲) are well worth.“Words cannot describe the feeling that you provide care for someone who otherwise wouldn’t be alive if your mobile health van wasn’t there.” He has big plans for the future.He hopes to expand them to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but those in other countries.
语篇解读 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲了Osei Boateng通过由一辆面包车改装而成的移动诊所为人们提供医疗服务，并解释了他这么做背后的原因以及取得的一些成绩。
5．What is the purpose of mentioning the example in paragraph 1
A．To show the importance of life.
B．To describe how hard Boateng’s family lived.
C．To point out what’s wrong with the hospital.
D．To stress the seriousness of lacking health care.
答案 D
解析 写作意图题。根据第一段“...Osei Boateng watched many of his family members and neighbors struggle to access basic health care...it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital.Boateng said many people lost their lives due to preventable or treatable diseases.His grandmother and aunt were among them.”可推知，作者在本段举例的目的是强调缺乏医疗保健的严重性。故选D。
6．How does Boateng carry out his mission
A．He operates on patients in the van.
B．He rents a doctor’s office wherever he goes.
C．He provides medical care by charging some fees.
D．He offers people health care using mobile clinic.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In 2021，he converted(转变) a van(面包车) into a mobile doctor’s office and started bringing health care directly to those in need.”可知，Boateng通过移动诊所为人们提供医疗服务来履行他的使命。故选D。
7．What do we know about the Hope Health Van
A．It really works.
B．It makes a profit.
C．It serves the whole Ghana.
D．It produces some good medicine.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Since its launch，the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care，according to Boateng.”可知，“希望健康车”确实有效。故选A。
8．Which of the following can best describe Boateng
A．Dependable and creative.
B．Caring and ambitious.
C．Thoughtful and humorous.
D．Determined and demanding.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段以及最后一段中的“He hopes to expand them to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but those in other countries.”可推知，Boateng为有需要的人提供医疗服务，并且想要将来为其他国家的人们提供更持续和高质量的医疗服务，说明了他有爱心，有抱负。故选B。

Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Angela Duckworth和Marcus Credé各自关于成功与毅力之间关系的研究。
She works at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.Like many other researchers，Duckworth wondered what makes one person more successful than another.When digging deeper，Duckworth found that the people who performed best shared a quality independent of smarts.They had what she now calls grit(毅力).Duckworth developed a set of questions to test it.
In one study of people aged 25 and older，she found that as people age，they become more likely to stick with a project.She also found that grit increases with education.People who had finished college scored higher in the grit test than people who quit before graduation did.People who went to graduate school after college scored even higher.
She then did another study with college students.Duckworth wanted to see how smarts and grit influenced performance in school.So she compared scores on college-entrance exams，which test IQ，to school grades and someone’s score in the grit test.Students with higher grades seem to have more grit.That’s not surprising.Getting good grades takes both smarts and hard work.
But some people counter that this grit means success.Among those people is Marcus Credé，a teacher at Iowa State University in Ames.He recently showed the results of 88 studies on grit.Together，nearly 67,000 people took part in these studies.And grit did not predict success，Credé found.
However，he thinks grit is very similar to someone’s ability to set goals，work toward them and think things through before acting.It’s a basic personality quality，Credé notes—not something that can be changed.
“Study habits and skills，test anxiety and class attendance are far more strongly connected to school grades than grit，” Credé says.“We can teach students how to study well.We can help them with their test anxiety，” he adds.“I’m not sure we can do that with grit.”
1.What can we know from the first two paragraphs
A.Grit decides how smart one might be.
B.Grit is a quality dependent on smarts.
C.Success has nothing to do with smarts.
D.Smart people may not succeed.
√
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Just being smart doesn’t mean someone will be successful.”可知，聪明的人未必会成功。故选D。
解析
2.What might influence a person’s grit according to Angela Duckworth’s findings
A.Lifestyles. B.Family tradition.
C.Education. D.Personality types.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段可知，毅力随着教育程度的提高而增加。在毅力测试中，大学毕业的人比毕业前辍学的人得分要高，大学毕业后去读研的人得分更高。因此Angela Duckworth发现，教育程度可以影响一个人的毅力。故选C。
解析
3.What does the underlined word “counter” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Doubt. B.Reply.
C.Accept. D.Warn.
√
词义猜测题。根据画线词的上一段中“Students with higher grades seem to have more grit.”可知，成绩越高的学生似乎更有毅力，再结合画线词前的But表转折以及本段中的“grit did not predict success”推知，一些人反对“毅力意味着成功”这个观点，counter意思应该是“反对，质疑”，与doubt意思相近。故选A。
解析
4.What is Credé’s opinion about grit
A.It is strongly related to test anxiety.
B.It can hardly be taught in school.
C.It should be paid no attention to in teaching.
D.It can’t influence students’ school grades.
√
观点态度题。根据倒数第二段末句及最后一段中“‘We can teach students how to study well.We can help them with their test anxiety，’he adds. ‘I’m not sure we can do that with grit.’”可知，在Credé看来，毅力这种品质无法在学校中教授。故选B。
解析

Growing up in a small village in southern Ghana，Osei Boateng watched many of his family members and neighbors struggle to access basic health care.In many regions of the country，it can take hours to get to the nearest hospital.Boateng said many people lost their lives due to preventable or treatable diseases.His grandmother and aunt were among them.
语篇解读 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲了Osei Boateng通过由一辆面包车改装而成的移动诊所为人们提供医疗服务，并解释了他这么做背后的原因以及取得的一些成绩。
Feeling an urgent call to help，Boateng decided he would make it his life’s mission to bring health care to remote communities in Ghana where education and preventative health care were lacking.
Boateng wanted to find a way to remove these barriers to health care access and education.He started his nonprofit organization，OKB Hope Foundation.In 2021，he converted(转变) a van(面包车) into a mobile doctor’s office and started bringing health care directly to those in need.A few times a week，the mobile clinic and medical team travel long distances to remote communities and provide free routine medical care.
On each trip，Boateng’s team is made up of a nurse，a physician assistant，a doctor，and an operation assistant.In the van，they can run basic labs like bloodwork and urinalysis(尿液分析) as well as provide medicine.“It’s like a one-stop shop for people，” said Boateng，adding that most of the people they see have one health issue or another.Since its launch，the Hope Health Van has served more than 4,000 Ghanaians across more than 45 rural communities who otherwise don’t have easily accessible medical care，according to Boateng.
Boateng has gone all in on his OKB Hope Foundation，recently quitting his job to dedicate(奉献) his time to bringing health care to his home country.But for him，the sacrifices(牺牲) are well worth.“Words cannot describe the feeling that you provide care for someone who otherwise wouldn’t be alive if your mobile health van wasn’t there.” He has big plans for the future.He hopes to expand them to provide more consistent and high-quality medical care not only to those living in remote areas of Ghana but those in other countries.
5.What is the purpose of mentioning the example in paragraph 1
A.To show the importance of life.
B.To describe how hard Boateng’s family lived.
C.To point out what’s wrong with the hospital.
D.To stress the seriousness of lacking health care.
