（2024·南阳六校高二下学期月考）Life is full of ups and downs. However， it’s not what happens to us in life but how we respond to each situation that matters.
I remember a major setback of my own. Two years after I had become the starting quarterback （四分卫） in college， I seriously injured my knee， had an operation， fell behind， and then lost my position. Our coach called me into his office just before the season began and told me they were handing the starting job to someone else.
I felt sick. I’d worked my whole life to get to this position. It was my senior year. This wasn’t supposed to happen.
As a backup， I had a choice to make. I could complain bad-mouth the new guy， and feel sorry for myself.Or ...I could make the most of the situation.
Luckily， I decided to deal with it. I was no longer throwing touchdowns， but I could help in other ways. So I swallowed my pride and kept supporting the team， working hard and preparing for each game as if I were the starter. I chose to keep my chin up.
Was it easy？ Not at all. I often felt like a failure. Sitting out every game after being the starter was a shame. Keeping a good attitude was a constant struggle.
Was it the right choice， though？ Definitely. I wore out my bum （屁股） on the bench all year but I contributed to the team in other ways by supporting the new guy and helping to prepare our defense each week for the opposing team’s offense. Most importantly， I took responsibility for my attitude. I cannot begin to tell you what a positive difference this important decision made in my life.
1.Why did the coach ask the author into his office？（ ）
A.To give him some advice. B.To ask about his physical state.
C.To inform him of something bad. D.To offer him some encouragement.
2.What does the underlined phrase “throwing touchdowns” in Paragraph 5 probably mean？（ ）
A.Losing heart. B.Working hard.
C.Winning points. D.Making progress.
3.What did the author think of his choice？（ ）
A.Boring but worthwhile.
B.Easy and rewarding.
C.Hard but interesting.
D.Funny and embarrassing.
4.What does the author mainly stress in the passage？（ ）
A.The value of setbacks.
B.The value of teamwork.
C.The importance of diligence.
D.The importance of attitude.

（2024·郑州高二下学期期末）Climbing Everest has been a dream for many people ever since Edmund Hillary and his guide， Tenzing Norgay， reached the top of the mountain in 1953.
At one time， only experienced mountaineers tried to climb Everest.But the cost of such an effort has decreased.This has led more and more inexperienced climbers to try to reach the top of Everest.Nepal only requires that climbers have a note from a medical doctor saying they are physically fit.Climbers do not have to prove they have the strength or ability to perform at extreme heights.
The climbing industry brings in $300 million each year for Nepal.This year， the government of Nepal issued Everest permits to 381 people， the highest number ever.Anyone can get a permit for an $11，000 fee.
The number of climbers who have died this season is the highest since 2015.Most of those who died are believed to have suffered from altitude sickness.The condition is caused by low amounts of oxygen in extremely high places.It can lead to severe headaches， stomach sickness， shortness of breath and mental confusion.Because of the altitude， climbers have just hours to reach the top before they are at risk of having their lungs fill with liquid.
Among those who have died at Everest this year is American Christopher Kulish.He was from the state of Colorado.Kulish died on his way down， shortly after reaching the top.Just before he died， Kulish made it into the so-called “Seven Summit Club” of mountaineers who have reached the highest peaks on every continent， his brother said.
Mirza Ali is a Pakistani mountaineer and tour operator who reached Everest’s peak for the first time this month.It was his fourth time trying.He said，“Everybody wants to stand on top of the world.” But he said visitors who are unprepared for the extremes of Everest harm the mountaineering industry.
Ali added，“The more people come， the more permits， more business.But on the other side of it is a lot of risk because it is costing lives.”
5.What made many people climb Everest according to the author？（ ）
A.Their strong will.
B.Their great interest.
C.Nepal’s low requirement.
D.Nepal’s financial support.
6.What led to most climbers’ death this season？（ ）
A.Their being in poor health.
B.A lack of help from friends.
C.Diseases caused by altitude.
D.Their having no experience.
7.What do we learn about Christopher Kulish？（ ）
A.He nearly reached the top.
B.He has achieved his dream.
C.He died when climbing Everest.
D.He made an unsuccessful attempt.
8.What attitude does Mirza Ali take towards more people’s climbing Everest？（ ）
A.Negative. B.Confused.
C.Supportive. D.Sympathetic.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
（2024·昆明高二下学期质检）For nearly a decade， I’ve interviewed scores of high achievers， from astronauts to Olympic gold medalists to Nobel Prize winners. What was revealing is that all high achievers had four things in common.
Tap into your intrinsic （内在的） motivation.
9.（ ） Getting to the “why” behind your career choice is critical， as it will help you get in touch with your deepest motivations， block out distractions， and potentially adjust with your current path. For the highest achievers， it’s not about the medals， rewards， or promotions. They all told me that they loved what they do， could not imagine another path， and would do it for free if they could.
Get comfortable with failure.
Some people fear failing， while others fear succeeding. 10.（ ） For them， it’s not a question of if they can overcome a challenge； the focus is always on how they can. They consider alternative strategies and work fiercely to control what they can control， and ignore distractions.
Reinforce your foundation.
Despite all of their achievements， high achievers never rest on their honours. Even if they’ve done a task or routine countless times， they still work on the basic skills foundational to their current — and future — success. 11.（ ） It’s also the strategy marathon runners use when they train in high altitudes so that running the race in normal conditions feels easier.
12.（ ）
The high achievers I spoke with are continuously open to learning， although it is rarely in the classroom. Many of the Nobel Prize winners I spoke to were also inspired as a result of their openness and curiosity. Several shared that their breakthrough ideas occurred through casual conversations with colleagues in cafeterias and laundry rooms. Conference lectures， coffee breaks and group meals are not just for building your network. 13.（ ）
A.Become a lifelong learner.
B.Be the best whatever you do.
C.It’s where new ideas take root and develop.
D.Why did you enter your chosen profession？
E.High achievers fear “not trying” more than they fear failing.
F.In the military， people are similarly told to “train hard， fight easy”.
G.What should we do to realise our dreams and live a life without regret？

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。由于一次手术，作者失去了自己橄榄球四分卫的位置。可是，作者没有抱怨，而是选择为其他队员服务。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，教练叫作者到他的办公室，告诉作者四分卫的位置让给别的同学了，这对作者来说是一件糟糕的事。
2.C 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，由于作者膝盖受伤做了手术，他的位置让给了别人，因此他只能做一些支持和服务队员的工作，自然是无法进球得分了。
3.A 推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，作者认为，虽然坐在一旁看队友踢球是很没面子、很失败的事，但是他认为自己做出了正确的选择。
4.D 主旨大意题。综合全文可知，作者主要传递这样一个信息——我们生活中的挫折在所难免，重要的是我们应该以何种态度来对待这些挫折。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。如今越来越多的人选择攀登珠穆朗玛峰，可是，过于宽松的限制导致很多攀登者丧命。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，尼泊尔对登山者的要求非常低，这导致很多没有经验的人也加入了攀登珠峰的大军。
6.C 细节理解题。根据第四段可知，今年有很多攀登珠峰者丧命主要是因为高海拔所导致的各种疾病。
7.B 推理判断题。根据第五段可知，Christopher Kulish成功登上了珠峰，可是在下山时丧命；另外，他成功登上了世界七大洲的最高峰。
8.A 推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，Mirza Ali认为，那些没有经验的人攀登珠峰破坏了登山这个行业；很多人登山促进了当地经济的发展，可是却忽视了巨大的风险。
Ⅱ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。我们都渴望成功，可是，你知道那些取得巨大成就者具备哪些特质吗？
9.D 本段在谈论我们从事一个行业的内在动力，另外结合下句中的Getting to the “why”可知，上句应该是一个由why引起的问句。
10.E 本段建议我们要坦然面对失败，E项符合语境，说明取得巨大成就者不惧怕失败，而害怕未曾尝试。
11.F 根据下句中的It’s also the strategy marathon runners use可知，上句提到了一种策略，故F项符合语境。F项表达的意思是：平时训练刻苦一些，战场上打仗就轻松一些。
12.A 本段主要告诉我们应该保持开放的心态和持久的好奇心，不断坚持学习，因此A项适合作为本段小标题。
13.C 上文指出：我们应该利用一切场合和机会去学习，包括会议报告、茶点时间以及聚餐场合等，这些都是好创意诞生的时刻。故C项符合语境。
Ⅲ.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一向怕水的作者学习游泳的经历。
14.A 由于是在上课，所以以小时计算最为合理。
15.B 上文说作者在上游泳课，再结合空后的me to take a step deeper， and then another可知，她鼓励作者再往深走一步。
16.C 空前一句说作者这辈子都怕水，因此44年来，作者不记得曾经享受过任何一处水域。这里强调作者从没有下过水。
17.D 根据空后的in order to save face可知，为了保全面子，作者隐藏了自己的恐惧。
18.C 空前一句说为了保全面子，作者隐藏了自己的恐惧，所以几乎没有人知道作者怕水。
19.A 空前一句说当水到达作者的胸口时，洛莉看出作者已经到达了极限，所以作者上完了第一节游泳课。get through通过，结束；hold on坚持；keep off让开；escape from从……逃脱。
20.D 向来怕水的作者终于上完了第一节课，所以如释重负地松了一口气。relief宽慰，减轻。
21.B 空后一句说洛莉想让作者沿着游泳池的边缘穿过深水区走到另一端，所以作者很震惊。
22.C 上文说作者是在浅水区上课，再结合空后的I had seen the blue-painted block numbers.Five and a half feet？可知，洛莉想让作者沿着游泳池的边缘穿过深水区走到泳池的另一端。
23.A 根据语境可知，洛莉鼓励作者试一下，上文中提到try，此处是原词复现。
24.A 根据常识可知，水越深，人在水下移动地就越吃力，自然就越慢。
25.D 空后一句说但是作者慢慢地前进，转折连词But表明洛莉犹豫了。
26.A 空前一句说作者终于站在泳池另一端的地板上，因此作者由于放松和兴奋而颤抖。tremble颤抖，战栗；whisper低语；struggle挣扎；wander徘徊。
27.C 此处与空后的applause并列，指庆祝成功的欢呼和掌声。
28.D 句意：有时候，最重要的事情就是从浅水区走进去，然后在深水区成为赢家，不管要花多长时间才能到达那里。此处与前面的shallow end对应，指深水区。

A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE
Perce Blackborow joined an expedition① with Sir Ernest Shackleton to Antarctica on the ship Endurance② in 1914.Shackleton was one of the most famous explorers of his day③ and [1]it was considered a great honour to be part of his expeditions.Below are some of Blackborow’s diary entries④.
[1]to be part of his expeditions 是动词不定式短语作真正的主语，it 作形式主语。
31 Oct 1914
...Well， [2]it so happened that one morning I bought a newspaper and read the advertisement about the Antarctic expedition.
[2]it so happened that ...碰巧……，在该句式中it 作形式主语，that 引导的从句作真正的主语。
An expedition to the South Pole with the great Sir Ernest Shackleton — this is the adventure [3]that I have been dreaming of.And I was ready for it.At the age of 19， I am fit and full of vigour⑤.However， when I applied to join⑥ the expedition， Shackleton turned me down⑦ [4]because he thought I was too young and wasn’t qualified⑧. But I was so enthusiastic⑨about the idea of going along with⑩ them [5]that I secretly went aboard his ship， the Endurance， and hid in a small cupboard . Unfortunately ， three days after we set off I was discovered.Shackleton did not want to turn back so he offered me a job， but only after he promised me，“If anyone has to be eaten， then you will be the first！” He assigned me to be a steward ， and I now serve meals for twenty-eight men， three times a day.
[6]How everyone will envy me when I come back and tell them about the amazing places I have been to！
[3]that 引导定语从句，修饰先行词adventure；从句中have been dreaming 是现在完成进行时。
[4]句中because 引导原因状语从句，其中 I was too young and wasn’t qualified 是省略了引导词that 的宾语从句。
[5]that 引导结果状语从句。
[6]该句是How引导的感叹句，其中when引导时间状语从句；I have been to是省略了关系代词that或which的定语从句，修饰先行词places。
21 Nov 1915
The journey has not been easy.Endurance became stuck in the ice [7]as we approached Antarctica.The ice froze around us and we were well and truly stuck！ We saw the ship get crushed by the ice.And [8]when the ship sank ， our hearts sank with it.
Before we abandoned the ship， Shackleton calmly called us together and told us to rescue our most essential supplies — the small boats， our food， the cook stove ， candles， clothes， and blankets .This was no time to panic .We were not allowed to take most of our personal belongings ， and Shackleton himself threw away all his gold.But to our surprise， he allowed Hussey to keep his banjo .Hussey often plays it to keep our spirits up .
We are now camped on the ice and we have been managing to survive， but [9]spring is coming， and the ice will soon begin to melt.
[7]as引导时间状语从句。
[8]when 引导时间状语从句。
[9]该句用现在进行时表示将来。
20 May 1916
We have been struggling for days， but things on Elephant Island are going from bad to worse .We are now crowded together under one of our boats on the rocky shore of this miserable place.Soon after we arrived， Shackleton left us to find help on South Georgia Island， 1，320 kilometres away —[10] the voyage was too dangerous and difficult for all of us to make it in our small boats.[11] If Shackleton fails，will we have any hope of rescue？ No.No navy in the world ever stops at Elephant Island， and no one else knows [12]that we are here.
[10]句中含有too ... to ...结构，意为“太……而不能……”。
[11]If引导真实条件句。
[12]that 引导宾语从句，作know的宾语。
I feel low .It’s cold and windy.The island has no plants.Sometimes we are able to catch a seal or a penguin to eat.Otherwise， there is no food.I try to think of happier things： decent food， warm and dry clothes， a cosy bedroom， sunny days， and my mother’s face ...However， these happy memories are soon interrupted by a sudden cold rush of air.
I shouted，“Shut the door！”
“Hold on now， Perce.Don’t you go turning into another Tom，” came the reply.“We’ve caught another penguin， so it’s penguin soup tonight！”
Bless Frank Wild， the kindest man there is after our leader， Ernest Shackleton.How could I become as selfish and bad-tempered as Thomas Orde-Lees！
[13]Without Frank and Ernest， we’d all be dead by now. Their genuine concern for others， their perseverance ， and their resolve fill me with hope.
Perhaps there is a chance we will return home， after all.
[13]该句是含有Without介词短语的隐含虚拟语气句。

一次成功的失败
珀西·布莱克博罗于1914年加入欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士的“坚忍”号南极探险之旅。沙克尔顿是那个时代最负盛名的探险家之一，加入他的探险活动被视为极大的荣耀。以下是布莱克博罗的几篇日记摘录。
1914年10月31日
……好吧，一天早晨，我碰巧买了份报纸，看到了这则有关南极探险的招募广告。
跟随伟大的欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士前往南极探险——这可是我梦寐以求的冒险之旅啊。而且，我万事俱备。我今年19岁，身体健康，精力充沛。然而，当我申请加入这次探险时，沙克尔顿却拒绝了我，因为他认为我太年轻，不具备资格。但是，满怀着想要与他们同赴南极的热情，我偷偷地爬上了他的“坚忍”号轮船，躲在一个小橱柜里。不幸的是，在我们出发三天后，我被发现了。沙克尔顿不想掉头，于是他给了我一份工作，但他要我答应他：“如果有人得被吃掉，那么你就是第一个！”他指派我担任服务员，我现在为28名船员供应一日三餐。
等我回来，当我告诉每个人我去过的那些神奇的地方，大家该会多羡慕我啊！
1915年11月21日
这趟旅程并不轻松。在我们靠近南极时，“坚忍”号卡在了冰里。冰把我们周围都冻住了，我们彻底被卡住了！我们眼睁睁看着轮船被冰挤毁。船沉了，我们的心也跟着下沉。
在我们弃船之前，沙克尔顿镇定地把大家召集在一起，告诉我们要抢救最需要的供给品——小船、食物、炊具、蜡烛、衣服和毛毯。这不是惊慌失措的时候。我们绝大部分的个人物品都被禁止携带，沙克尔顿自己则扔掉了他所有的黄金。然而，令我们惊讶的是，他允许赫西带上他的班卓琴。赫西经常会弹奏班卓琴，以振奋我们的精神。
现在，我们在冰层上扎营，一直在设法生存下来，但是，春天就要来了，冰层很快就会融化。
1916年5月20日
我们已苦苦挣扎多日，但是象岛上的情况越来越糟糕。现在，在这个悲惨之地的岩石海岸，我们挤在一艘小船下。我们来到此处之后不久，沙克尔顿就离开我们，前往1，320公里之外的南乔治亚岛寻求帮助——这一航行对于我们所有人而言太危险、太艰难了，乘坐小船，肯定无法每个人都到达。如果沙克尔顿失败了，我们还有任何获救的希望吗？没有。全世界没有海军会停靠象岛，也没有其他人知道我们在这里。
我感到十分沮丧。天冷风大。岛上没有任何植物。有时我们能抓到一只海豹或企鹅来充饥。除此以外，没有任何食物。我试着去想让人开心的事情：美味的食物、暖和的干衣服、舒适的卧室、晴朗的天气，还有妈妈的脸庞……然而，这些快乐的回忆很快被突然涌进的一股冷空气打断。
我吼道：“把门关上！”
传来一声回答：“要坚持住啊，珀西。你可不要变成另一个汤姆。”“我们又抓到了一只企鹅，今晚有企鹅汤喝了！”
上天保佑弗兰克·怀尔德，他是除了我们的领队欧内斯特·沙克尔顿之外最和蔼可亲的人。我怎么可以变得像托马斯·奥德里斯那样自私和脾气暴躁呢！
要不是有弗兰克和欧内斯特，我们到现在早就没命了。他们对别人的真心关怀、他们的锲而不舍以及坚定的信念，让我充满希望。
毕竟，我们也许还有机会回家。

一次成功的失败
珀西·布莱克博罗于1914年加入欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士的“坚
忍”号南极探险之旅。沙克尔顿是那个时代最负盛名的探险家之一，
加入他的探险活动被视为极大的荣耀。以下是布莱克博罗的几篇日记
摘录。
1914年10月31日
……好吧，一天早晨，我碰巧买了份报纸，看到了这则有关南极
探险的招募广告。
跟随伟大的欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士前往南极探险——这可是我梦
寐以求的冒险之旅啊。而且，我万事俱备。我今年19岁，身体健康，
精力充沛。然而，当我申请加入这次探险时，沙克尔顿却拒绝了我，
因为他认为我太年轻，不具备资格。但是，满怀着想要与他们同赴南
极的热情，我偷偷地爬上了他的“坚忍”号轮船，躲在一个小橱柜
里。不幸的是，在我们出发三天后，我被发现了。沙克尔顿不想掉
头，于是他给了我一份工作，但他要我答应他：“如果有人得被吃
掉，那么你就是第一个！”他指派我担任服务员，我现在为28名船员
供应一日三餐。
等我回来，当我告诉每个人我去过的那些神奇的地方，大家该会
多羡慕我啊！
1915年11月21日
这趟旅程并不轻松。在我们靠近南极时，“坚忍”号卡在了冰
里。冰把我们周围都冻住了，我们彻底被卡住了！我们眼睁睁看着轮
船被冰挤毁。船沉了，我们的心也跟着下沉。
在我们弃船之前，沙克尔顿镇定地把大家召集在一起，告诉我们
要抢救最需要的供给品——小船、食物、炊具、蜡烛、衣服和毛毯。
这不是惊慌失措的时候。我们绝大部分的个人物品都被禁止携带，沙
克尔顿自己则扔掉了他所有的黄金。然而，令我们惊讶的是，他允许
赫西带上他的班卓琴。赫西经常会弹奏班卓琴，以振奋我们的精神。
现在，我们在冰层上扎营，一直在设法生存下来，但是，春天就
要来了，冰层很快就会融化。
1916年5月20日
我们已苦苦挣扎多日，但是象岛上的情况越来越糟糕。现在，在
这个悲惨之地的岩石海岸，我们挤在一艘小船下。我们来到此处之后
不久，沙克尔顿就离开我们，前往1，320公里之外的南乔治亚岛寻求
帮助——这一航行对于我们所有人而言太危险、太艰难了，乘坐小
船，肯定无法每个人都到达。如果沙克尔顿失败了，我们还有任何获
救的希望吗？没有。全世界没有海军会停靠象岛，也没有其他人知道
我们在这里。
我感到十分沮丧。天冷风大。岛上没有任何植物。有时我们能抓
到一只海豹或企鹅来充饥。除此以外，没有任何食物。我试着去想让
人开心的事情：美味的食物、暖和的干衣服、舒适的卧室、晴朗的天
气，还有妈妈的脸庞……然而，这些快乐的回忆很快被突然涌进的一
股冷空气打断。
我吼道：“把门关上！”
传来一声回答：“要坚持住啊，珀西。你可不要变成另一个汤
姆。”“我们又抓到了一只企鹅，今晚有企鹅汤喝了！”
上天保佑弗兰克·怀尔德，他是除了我们的领队欧内斯特·沙克尔
顿之外最和蔼可亲的人。我怎么可以变得像托马斯·奥德里斯那样自私
和脾气暴躁呢！
要不是有弗兰克和欧内斯特，我们到现在早就没命了。他们对别
人的真心关怀、他们的锲而不舍以及坚定的信念，让我充满希望。
毕竟，我们也许还有机会回家。

A
（2024·南阳六校高二下学期月考）Life is full of ups and downs.
However， it’s not what happens to us in life but how we respond to each
situation that matters.
I remember a major setback of my own. Two years after I had become
the starting quarterback （四分卫） in college， I seriously injured my
knee， had an operation， fell behind， and then lost my position. Our
coach called me into his office just before the season began and told me
they were handing the starting job to someone else.
I felt sick. I’d worked my whole life to get to this position. It was
my senior year. This wasn’t supposed to happen.
As a backup， I had a choice to make. I could complain bad-mouth
the new guy， and feel sorry for myself. Or ...I could make the most of
the situation.
Luckily， I decided to deal with it. I was no longer throwing
touchdowns， but I could help in other ways. So I swallowed my pride
and kept supporting the team， working hard and preparing for each game
as if I were the starter. I chose to keep my chin up.
Was it easy？ Not at all. I often felt like a failure. Sitting out every
game after being the starter was a shame. Keeping a good attitude was a
constant struggle.
Was it the right choice， though？ Definitely. I wore out my bum
（屁股） on the bench all year but I contributed to the team in other ways
by supporting the new guy and helping to prepare our defense each week
for the opposing team’s offense. Most importantly， I took responsibility
for my attitude. I cannot begin to tell you what a positive difference this
important decision made in my life.

（2024·郑州高二下学期期末）Climbing Everest has been a dream
for many people ever since Edmund Hillary and his guide， Tenzing
Norgay， reached the top of the mountain in 1953.
At one time， only experienced mountaineers tried to climb
Everest.But the cost of such an effort has decreased.This has led more and
more inexperienced climbers to try to reach the top of Everest.Nepal only
requires that climbers have a note from a medical doctor saying they are
physically fit.Climbers do not have to prove they have the strength or
ability to perform at extreme heights.
The climbing industry brings in $300 million each year for
Nepal.This year， the government of Nepal issued Everest permits to 381
people， the highest number ever.Anyone can get a permit for an $11，
000 fee.
The number of climbers who have died this season is the highest since
2015.Most of those who died are believed to have suffered from altitude
sickness.The condition is caused by low amounts of oxygen in extremely
high places.It can lead to severe headaches， stomach sickness，
shortness of breath and mental confusion.Because of the altitude，
climbers have just hours to reach the top before they are at risk of having
their lungs fill with liquid.
Among those who have died at Everest this year is American
Christopher Kulish.He was from the state of Colorado.Kulish died on his
way down， shortly after reaching the top.Just before he died， Kulish
made it into the so-called “Seven Summit Club” of mountaineers who
have reached the highest peaks on every continent， his brother said.
Mirza Ali is a Pakistani mountaineer and tour operator who reached
Everest’s peak for the first time this month.It was his fourth time
trying.He said，“Everybody wants to stand on top of the world.” But
he said visitors who are unprepared for the extremes of Everest harm the
mountaineering industry.
Ali added，“The more people come， the more permits， more
business.But on the other side of it is a lot of risk because it is costing
lives.”

D. Their having no experience.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
（2024·昆明高二下学期质检）For nearly a decade， I’ve
interviewed scores of high achievers， from astronauts to Olympic gold
medalists to Nobel Prize winners. What was revealing is that all high
achievers had four things in common.
Tap into your intrinsic （内在的） motivation.
9. （ ） Getting to the “why” behind your career choice is
critical， as it will help you get in touch with your deepest motivations，
block out distractions， and potentially adjust with your current path. For
the highest achievers， it’s not about the medals， rewards， or
promotions. They all told me that they loved what they do， could not
imagine another path， and would do it for free if they could.
Get comfortable with failure.
Some people fear failing， while others fear succeeding. 10.
（ ） For them， it’s not a question of if they can overcome a
challenge； the focus is always on how they can. They consider
alternative strategies and work fiercely to control what they can control，
and ignore distractions.
Reinforce your foundation.
Despite all of their achievements， high achievers never rest on their
honours. Even if they’ve done a task or routine countless times， they
still work on the basic skills foundational to their current — and future —
success. 11.（ ） It’s also the strategy marathon runners use when
they train in high altitudes so that running the race in normal conditions
feels easier.
12. （ ）
The high achievers I spoke with are continuously open to learning，
although it is rarely in the classroom. Many of the Nobel Prize winners I
spoke to were also inspired as a result of their openness and curiosity.
Several shared that their breakthrough ideas occurred through casual
conversations with colleagues in cafeterias and laundry rooms. Conference
lectures， coffee breaks and group meals are not just for building your
network. 13.（ ）
A. Become a lifelong learner.
B. Be the best whatever you do.
C. It’s where new ideas take root and develop.
D. Why did you enter your chosen profession？
E. High achievers fear “not trying” more than they fear failing.
F. In the military， people are similarly told to “train hard， fight
easy”.
G. What should we do to realise our dreams and live a life without
regret？
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。我们都渴望成功，可是，你知道那
些取得巨大成就者具备哪些特质吗？
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。我们都渴望成功，可是，你知道那
些取得巨大成就者具备哪些特质吗？
9. D 本段在谈论我们从事一个行业的内在动力，另外结合下句中的
Getting to the “why”可知，上句应该是一个由why引起的问句。
10. E 本段建议我们要坦然面对失败，E项符合语境，说明取得巨大
成就者不惧怕失败，而害怕未曾尝试。
11. F 根据下句中的It’s also the strategy marathon runners use可知，
上句提到了一种策略，故F项符合语境。F项表达的意思是：平时训练
刻苦一些，战场上打仗就轻松一些。
12. A 本段主要告诉我们应该保持开放的心态和持久的好奇心，不
断坚持学习，因此A项适合作为本段小标题。
13. C 上文指出：我们应该利用一切场合和机会去学习，包括会议
报告、茶点时间以及聚餐场合等，这些都是好创意诞生的时刻。故C
项符合语境。
