These days, seemingly everyone is creating their own business. People are talking about entrepreneurship as if once you start your own business, everything will flow smoothly for the rest of your life. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case.
My story of building resilience (复原力) in business began when I was an employee years ago, tired of working for someone else. I wanted to start my own business, so as a musician myself, I came up with the concept of helping other musicians with their business.
It was not an easy time. I had to count pennies to feed myself. But slowly, through word-of-mouth spread, not only among musicians, but small businesses as well, I was developing a client base. After years of hard work, eventually my company now serves 500 companies.
As a musician, I decided to create a music and film project called X: The Human Condition. It was my message in a bottle—you are not alone. I wanted to inspire people who felt disconnected, alienated, different.
I had to fund it myself because out of all the people I approached in the entertainment industry, they all said it would be impossible and nobody wanted to invest. But I was determined to prove them wrong. Over 12 years, I struggled to get the project off the ground. I almost went broke and became so ill that I nearly lost my vision permanently. I overcame every obstacle that was put in front of me, and after 12 years I was able to release the project successfully. The experiences with adversity led me to create the website, Rise UpAgain.org, a community of people from all over the world overcoming difficulties and sharing their stories to inspire others.
When it comes to entrepreneurship, expect the unexpected. Regardless, be aware that there is no shortcut to building resilience. Mastering adversity is one thing that must be learned through trial and error. But the important thing to note is that when you do go through adversity, never think of it as your enemy, but think of it as your ally.
24.What can we learn about the author
A.He was a successful musician. B.He longed to be a boss.
C.He changed his career path. D.His business ran smoothly.
25.Why did the author start the project X: The Human Condition
A.To send a message in a bottle. B.To fund the homeless people.
C.To promote musical films. D.To encourage those in adversity.
26.What is the biggest challenge for the author to start his business
A.Health problems. B.Financial difficulty.
C.Lack of experience. D.Community objection.
27.What would the author say to new businessmen
A.Try to make some errors.
B.Get used to your expectation.
C.There is no shortcut to success.
D.Difficulties can make you tougher.
C
You're passed over for a job. Your back aches. Faced with difficulties large and small, you wonder if you're an unlucky person. We turned to experts to understand why we believe in luck and how we can have that belief to make changes in our attitude towards life.
Richard Wiseman, a psychology professor, doesn't believe there's anything magical about luck—it won't help you or hurt you. “On the other hand, considering yourself lucky or unlucky is a way of seeing yourself, which has an impact on how you behave and how you think, and becomes a kind of self-fulfilling anticipation,” he says. “So, in a sense, it absolutely does exist.”
The sociology lecturer Vik Loveday interviewed academic employees who were on temporary contracts, an uncertain situation that caused anxiety. In general, when these academics learned about good news concerning their careers, such as getting a permanent job, they would attribute it to luck. Because they felt they had so little control,a move in a positive direction happened almost by accident, rather than as the result of hard work.
In a 2021 study, Professor Woolley has looked at this idea in childhood and adulthood. For example, basketball player Michael Jordan would wear his college practice shorts under his National Basketball Association uniform for good luck. “Obviously, it is the superstitious (迷信的) custom that gives him confidence and then he plays better,” Woolley says.
Is it possible to change your attitude towards luck to get better outcomes Wiseman believes some steps can improve your luck. He has found “lucky people not only maximize opportunities and know where they're heading, but often change course depending on how the wind is going”. Lucky people can also transform bad experiences into good. Specifically, you can shift your focus towards the positive by keeping a “luck diary”. Also don't be a creature of habit. Watch a different TV program, speak to different people—even small shifts can be effective.
28.What does Wiseman say about luck in Paragraph 2
A.It might be wise to try one's luck.
B.Luck is a magical force to control us.
C.The belief in luck influences our behavior.
D.People's well-being is determined by luck.
29.What is the example of Jordan's lucky shorts used for
A.Confirming Loveday's study.
B.Showing luck exists in real life.
C.Disapproving Woolley's research.
D.Comparing a different kind of luck in sports.
30.How can we improve our luck according to the last paragraph
A.Getting into a routine. B.Sticking to a goal firmly.
C.Setting down terrible things. D.Making changes flexibly.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Less Anxiety, More Luck
B.Good or Bad Luck Up to You
C.One Can Stay Lucky Through Life
D.Genius—Mother of Good Luck
D
The Greek historian Herodotus reported over 2,000 years ago on a misguided experiment in which two children were prevented from hearing human speech so that a king could discover the true, unlearned language of human beings.
Scientists now know that human language requires social learning and interaction with other people, a property shared with multiple animal languages. But why should humans and other animals need to learn a language instead of being born with this knowledge
Given that the ways honeybees communicate are quite complex, we decided to study how they learn to communicate to answer this language question.
Bees possess one of the most complicated examples of nonhuman communication. They can tell each other where to find resources such as food, water, or nest sites with a physical “waggle (摇摆) dance”, by circling around in a figure eight pattern centered around a waggle run. This dance conveys the direction, distance and quality of a resource to the bee's nestmates.
Bees begin to dance only as they get older. Could they be learning from practiced teachers
We thus created isolated experimental colonies of bees (蜂群) that could not observe other waggle dances before they themselves danced. Like the ancient experiment described by Herodotus, these bees could not observe the dance language because they were all the same age and had no older, experienced bees to follow. In contrast, our control colonies contained bees of all ages, so younger bees could follow the older, experienced dancers.
We recorded the first dances of the bees. The bees that could not follow the dances of experienced bees produced dances with significantly more directional, distance and order errors than the dances of control bees.
We then tested the same bees later, when they were experienced dancers. Bees who had lacked teachers produced significantly fewer errors, possibly because they had more practice or had learned by eventually following other dancers. The dances of the control bees remained just as good as their first dances.
Complex communication is often difficult to produce even when individuals are born with some knowledge of the correct signals. Bees are born with some knowledge of how to dance, but they have to learn how to dance even better by following experienced bees.
32.Why does the author say the experiment on the two children is a misguided experiment
A.Language learning is a social activity.
B.Language learning has changed greatly.
C.Children are born with human speech.
D.Children develop differently in language.
33.What does the underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph 6 indicate
A.Old bees could not produce waggle dances.
B.Old bees could not observe waggle dances.
C.Young bees were separated from older ones.
D.Young bees could follow experienced bees.
34.What do we know about the bees whose dances remained as good as their first dances
A.They had little practice in waggle dances.
B.They had learned waggle dances without teachers.
C.They were experienced in teaching waggle dances.
D.They had learned waggle dances before their first dances.
35.What does the last paragraph serve as
A.A guide to complex communication.
B.An answer to why language should be learned.
C.An example of nonhuman communication.
D.A proof that bees are born with some knowledge.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone knows about straight-A students. Many straight-A students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their low-scoring classmates. Here are some secrets of the young study champions.
36.
Top students bear no breaks during study time. Once the books are open or the computer is booted up, phone calls go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, and snacks ignored. Study is business; business comes before recreation.
Get organized
Paul Melendres, a straight-A freshman from New Mexico, keeps two folders—one for the day's assignments, another for papers completed and graded. 37. Melendres' methods have actually proven effective. Even students who don't have a private study area remain organized to cut down time-wasting searches.
Clean up your act
Neat papers are likely to get higher grades than sloppy ones. “The student who turns in a neat paper,” says Claude Olney, an Arizona State University business professor, “is already on the way to an A. It's like being served a cheeseburger. 38. ”
Speak up
“If I don't understand what my teacher is explaining, I will ask him to repeat it,” says Christopher Campbell. Class participation goes beyond merely asking questions, though. 39. “Better academic grades come from better understanding,” says Campbell. “I don't want to memorize information for tests only.”
Test yourself
As part of her note-taking, Domenica Roman emphasizes points that she thinks may be covered during exams. 40. Later she gives herself a written examination before the test day. “If I can't answer the questions satisfactorily, I will go back and review the points,” she says.
A.Set priorities
B.Schedule your time
C.She designs test questions based on them.
D.It's a matter of showing intellectual curiosity.
E.A bag or drawer keeps essential supplies together.
F.Hard work isn't the whole story behind their academic grades.
G.You can't believe it tastes good if it's presented on a dirty plate.

To make the class as 48 as possible, we asked the students what 49 interested them. They were curious to know about buying homes and cars. Our course, intended for those aged between 14 and 21, has them 50 questions: How much do I need to save to make these purchases Which purchases do I prioritize
We, educators, can help young people 51 life after graduation, as there are many great 52 and developing our course was 53 than I had expected, which is why I hope more schools and youth organizations will offer financial education.
Financial literacy shouldn't be optional because it puts those without it at a significant 54 . And if my 55 as a student and an educator have taught me anything, it's that no one should have to learn important financial lessons the hard way.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Painting had always fascinated Bazan since she was born. At the age of two, she held her first art exhibition on the family refrigerator. “Your artworks are really unique! So, I assume you're as good as Leonardo da Vinci or anybody else,” said her mother, who had always been highly encouraging Bazan. Then, Bazan signed up for an art class and quickly discovered her natural talent, “To me, a canvas(画布) is a door to another world where I have full creative control,” Bazan used to say to her mother.
The year she turned five, however, she was diagnosed with mental anxiety. She struggled with focusing, paying attention, or sitting still. Her mother still supported her in learning art, though. Even with family support, finding the feeling in control had often been a horrific challenge for her.
Bazan attended the University of Kentucky in 2010, whose major was art education, but didn't connect with the prospect of teaching. It made her unhappy. “I just wasn't drawn to it as much,” she said. Confusion about her uncertain future, coupled with her increasingly severe illness, made her eventually drop out of college.
Life went on for a decade. Bazan had a son and moved to Sheboygan, far away from her parents. She worked in a local grocery. Every day after work, she rushed home to care for her son. Life was difficult. Soon after, she divorced her husband because of her bad condition.
As her son grew up, Bazan became restless, and reconsidered the meaning of life. She felt she couldn't give up on the calling of her art. “I love art,” she said. It occurred to her that she could learn different techniques—from sewing and spinning and weaving to printmaking or painting. She would discover a new path in her professional development, instead of being a salesclerk all her life.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
After days of consideration, Bazan made a big decision.
News spread 4 years later that Bazan graduated from college with honors.

B
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者艰难的创业经历以及他创建网站RiseUpAgain.org的故事。作者提醒创业者成功没有捷径,永远不要把逆境当成敌人,要把它当成盟友。
24.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中“when I was an employee years ago”和“I wanted to start my own business”可知,多年前,作者还是一名雇员,后来想要创办自己的企业。由此可知,作者改变了职业道路。故选C。
25.D 细节理解题。
①根据题干中的“X: The Human Condition”可定位到第四段。
②根据第四段中“It was my message in a bottle—you are not alone. I wanted to inspire people who felt disconnected, alienated, different.”可知,作为音乐家,作者决定创作音乐电影项目X: The Human Condition,想激励那些感到被孤立、被疏远、与众不同的人。故选D。
26.B 细节理解题。根据第五段中“I had to fund it myself...nobody wanted to invest.”可知,作者必须自己投资,因为他在娱乐圈接触的人士都说这是不可能的,没有人愿意投资。所以,作者遇到的最大的困难是资金困难。故选B。
27.C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Unfortunately, this is rarely the case.”可知,作者认为创业并没有看起来那么容易;然后在接下来的段落中,作者用自身经历说明创业不易;最后一段中,作者说“be aware that there is no shortcut to building resilience”,点明了想要构建复原力没有捷径。也就是说,成功是没有捷径的。故选C。
C

28.C 细节理解题。
①根据题干中的“Wiseman”与“in Paragraph 2”可定位到第二段。
②根据第二段第二句Wiseman说的话可知,Richard Wiseman认为觉得自己幸运或不幸是一种看待自我的方式,这会影响我们的行为和思维方式,并成为一种自我实现的预期。因此,相信运气会影响我们的行为。故选C。
29.B 推理判断题。
①根据题干中的“Jordan's lucky shorts”可定位到第四段。
②本段结构为:举例说明—观点呈现。根据第四段最后一句Woolley的话可知,Woolley认为Jordan的迷信的个人习惯给了他信心,然后他打得更好。所以,作者提及Jordan的幸运短裤,表明“好运”在现实生活中是存在的。故选B。

Paras. 2-4 讲述了专家的观点,人们认识到运气的存在。
Para. 5 人们可以通过改变把坏运气变成好运。
从各段落的主旨来看,文章主要讲述了专家帮助我们理解为什么相信运气,以及我们如何通过信念改变我们对生活的态度。所以,B项“好运还是坏运 由你决定”适合作为文章标题。
D
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过研究蜜蜂交流的方式,说明人类和其他动物需要交流和互动来学习一门语言,而不是生来就有这种知识。
32.A 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“Scientists now know that human language requires social learning and interaction with other people, a property shared with multiple animal languages.”可知,现在科学家们知道,人类语言需要社交学习和与其他人的互动,这与多种动物语言的特性相似。而第一段的实验中,孩子被阻止进行交流,这项实验忽视了语言学习是一种社会活动的事实,所以是错误的。故选A。
33.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“that could not observe other waggle dances before they themselves danced”可知,实验组的蜂群在自己起舞之前无法观察到其他的摇摆舞蹈。再根据后一句中的“Like the ancient experiment described by Herodotus, these bees could not observe the dance language”可知,就像希罗多德描述的古代实验一样,这些蜜蜂无法观察舞蹈语言。由此可知,“isolated experimental colonies of bees”就像第一段的实验中被分离的孩子一样,它们是与其他蜂群隔离开的,故isolated是指幼蜂与老蜂分开,意为“被隔离的”,故选C。
34.D 细节理解题。根据第八段最后一句“The dances of the control bees remained just as good as their first dances.”可知,对照组蜜蜂在第一次舞蹈后能够保持同样的舞蹈水平。再根据第六段最后一句“In contrast, our control colonies contained bees of all ages, so younger bees could follow the older, experienced dancers.”可知,对照组蜜蜂可以跟随有经验的蜜蜂学习。所以,对照组蜜蜂在第一次跳舞之前就已经学会了摇摆舞蹈,故选D。
35.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Complex communication is often difficult...signals.”可知,即使个人天生就对正确的信号有一定的了解,通常也很难进行复杂的交流。这与第二段第一句“Scientists now know that human language requires...animal languages.”形成呼应,回答了为什么语言需要学习这一问题。故选B。
难句分析
原句 The bees that could not follow the dances of experienced bees produced dances with significantly more directional, distance and order errors than the dances of control bees.
分析 本句为主从复合句。“that could not follow the dances of experienced bees”为that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词bees;句中还包含“more...than...”的比较结构。
译文 不能跟随有经验的蜜蜂跳舞的蜜蜂比对照组蜜蜂产生的舞蹈有更多的方向性、距离和顺序错误。
第二节

③把选项一一代入文章空处,寻找每个题最适合的选项
36.A 主旨句。根据文章结构可知,该空为段落主旨句,形式可能为祈使句。下文的“unanswered”“unwatched”“ignored” “business comes before recreation”等表明,在学习时,优等生不接电话,不看电视节目,不吃零食,学习先于娱乐。由此可知,优等生都是优先考虑学习。A项“设定优先事项”符合本段主题,适合作小标题。
37.E 细节句。上文提到优等生Paul Melendres有两个文件夹,一个放当天的作业,另一个放已完成并被批改的试卷。设空处应该是对前文方法的介绍或者延伸,结合各选项的中心点来看,E项“一个袋子或抽屉可以把必需品放在一起。”承接上文的学习物品的整理办法。
38.G 细节句。空前句提到端上一个干酪汉堡包,G项中的关键词“can't believe it tastes good”与前文建立了逻辑关系,且G项“如果它被放在脏盘子里,你相信它不会很好吃。”与前文“The student who turns in a neat paper...is already on the way to an A.”进行比较,用比喻的手法,说明试卷就像汉堡,如果不整洁,就不会得到好的评价。
技巧点拨
设空处位置、关键词、代词、连词、逻辑词等都是很有效的“七选五”解题突破口。
39.D 细节句。根据空前句“Class participation goes beyond merely asking questions, though.”可知,课堂参与不仅仅是提问。设空处承接上文,需指出课堂参与的特点,结合各选项的意思和中心点可知,D项“这是表现出求知欲的问题。”符合语境。
40.C 过渡句。根据小标题“Test yourself”可知,C项的中心点“test questions”与之关系紧密;另外,空前句提到Domenica Roman记笔记时突出了她认为考试中可能会涉及的要点,空后句提到考试前她要进行自我书面检测。所以设空处承上启下,提到她会根据考试要点设计自测试题。故选C项。

第三部分 语言运用
第一节
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要以作者个人的经历讲述了金融素养教育对学生的重要性。
41.A 根据后文“many students signed up for one or more cards”可知,很多学生申请了一张或多张信用卡。由此可推知,学生们是被各种各样的信用卡奖励计划吸引(Attracted)。sponsor赞助;require要求;dominate支配。
42.C 根据后文“late payment”和“they faced challenges later in life”可知,因逾期还款,之后他们会面临麻烦,故此处指学生没有意识到信用卡逾期还款的后果(consequences)。condition情况;benefit好处;process过程。
43.D 根据空后“meant many college students started off their adult lives with poor credit”可知,很多大学生带着不良信用开始他们的成年生活,这应该源于他们缺乏(Lacking)基本的金融素养。display展示;maintain保持;abandon抛弃。
44.B 空前提到了他们的不良信用,空后提到当他们要借钱时,就遇到了挑战。前后之间为因果关系,故选B项“Therefore(因此)”。however然而;otherwise否则;instead相反。
45.A 根据空前“they faced challenges later in life when they needed to borrow money but couldn't”可知,他们因信用不良无法获得(secure)低息贷款。guarantee保证;request要求;settle解决。
易错分析
本题容易错选B项或D项。主要原因是对单词的意思掌握不足,根据汉语意思主观想象。
46.C 根据后文“That has fueled my sense of 47 to teach the next generation of students personal finance.”可知,作者过去的经历激起了他教学生个人理财的责任意识。所以,不良信用一直伴随着(followed)作者。turn(使)转动;guide指导;trick欺骗。
易错分析
本题容易错选D项。主要原因是没有理清设空处前的主语,不良记录是伴随着“我”,不是欺骗“我”。
47.B 根据后文“It's why I helped develop a personal finance course for teens and young adults.”可知,作者帮助开发了适合青少年的个人理财课程,是因为他觉得他有责任(responsibility)教会学生个人理财。independence独立;achievement成就;identity身份。
48.C 根据后文“we asked the students what 49 interested them”可知,作者问学生对什么感兴趣。由此可知,他的目的是想让理财课程有吸引力(engaging)。touching感人的;surprising惊人的;inspiring鼓舞人心的。
49.D 根据后文“They were curious to know about buying homes and cars.”可知,他们对买房和买车感到好奇,故此处指作者问他们感兴趣的话题(topics)是什么。word话语;title标题;course课程。
50.B 根据后文“How much do I need to save to make these purchases Which purchases do I prioritize ”可知,作者让学生思考(considering):应该省下多少钱来买这些东西 优先购买哪些 pose提出;examine检查;tackle处理。
51.C 根据后文“...I hope more schools and youth organizations will offer financial education.”可知,作者希望更多的学校和青年机构能够提供金融教育。由此可知,作为教育者,应该帮助年轻人为毕业后的生活做好准备(prepare for)。search for寻找;pay for支付;care for照顾。
52.D 根据上题和空后内容可知,作者希望更多的学校和青年机构能够提供金融教育,这是因为开发这门课程比自己想象中更简单,有很多的资源(resources)。question问题;path路径;example例子。
53.A 根据上题可知,作者认为开发这门课程比想象中更简单(easier),所以他呼吁更多的学校和青年机构能够提供金融教育。cheap便宜的;safe安全的;strict严格的。
54.B 根据前文“Financial literacy shouldn't be optional”可知,金融素养课程不应该是选修课,因为这会让没有金融素养的人处于明显的劣势(disadvantage)。distance距离;point点;corner角落。
55.D 句意:如果说我作为学生和教育者的经历教会了我什么的话,那就是没有人应该不得不通过艰难的方式来学习重要的理财课程。duty责任;ability能力;ambition抱负;experience经历。
熟词生义
1.interest 熟义:n.兴趣 v.使感兴趣 生义:n.利息
2.fuel 熟义:n.燃料 生义:v.加剧;刺激
第二节
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了我国首位平民航天员——桂海潮。
56.was launched 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:2023年5月30日上午9点31分,在酒泉卫星发射中心,一枚20层楼高的长征二号F运载火箭发射了神舟十六号宇宙飞船,中国首位平民航天员桂海潮和另外两名航天员一起坐在飞船内。设空处在句中作谓语,此处为过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,主语为Gui Haichao,与launch之间为被动关系,应使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was launched。
易错分析
本题容易错填were launched。注意:主语为单数名词或代词,尽管后面跟有with,together with,except,but,like,as well as,rather than,more than,no less than,besides,including等引出的短语,谓语动词仍用单数形式。
57.which 考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a 20-story-tall Long March 2F carrier rocket,先行词指物,且关系词在从句中作主语。故填which。
58.enthusiasm 考查名词。句意:桂海潮出生于1986年,他从小就对科学有热情。分析句子可知,设空处位于谓语“has been developing”前,作本句的主语,并且空前有名词所有格“Gui's”修饰,需用名词形式。故填enthusiasm。
59.majoring 考查非谓语动词。句意:多年后,桂海潮进入北京航空航天大学,主修飞行器设计与工程。本句为简单句,谓语为attended,major为动词,意为“主修”,此处应用非谓语动词形式作伴随状语,且主语Gui Haichao与major之间为主动关系。故填majoring。
60.as 考查介词。句意:回到中国后,他应邀到北京航空航天大学以副教授的身份进行教学。设空处位于动词teach后,且后跟冠词an,使用介词的可能性较大。根据句意可知,此处表示“作为”,故填as。
技巧点拨
在没有提示词的情况下,一般主要选择介词、冠词、连词、代词等。
61.to select 考查非谓语动词。句意:在2018年的春天,桂海潮被告知,中国载人航天当局已决定选择第三批预备航天员,包括首批航天工程师和科学载荷专家。make a decision to do sth.为固定搭配,表示“决定做某事”。故填to select。
62.a 考查冠词。此处表示“多年来,我一直是太空探索的一名爱好者,有时梦想着在太空做研究”。该空后为可数名词单数,表泛指,且fan的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
63.that 考查状语从句。此处表示“一听到这个消息,我是如此兴奋,以至于我没多想就报名了”。此处为so...that...引导的结果状语从句。故填that。
易错分析
本题容易错填which等词。主要原因是没能注意到前面的so。英语中有很多类似的结构,需格外注意。例如:not only...but also..., neither...nor..., such...that..., hardly...when..., no sooner...than...等。
64.successfully 考查副词。设空处作状语,修饰was admitted,故用其副词形式。故填successfully。
65.professional 考查形容词。该空修饰空后的名词tests,需使用形容词,表示“专业的测试”,故填professional。
