It was my 21st birthday and I wanted to have an unforgettable night.So I arranged to have a party at this famous hotel.It was a warm evening in the middle of August， but because it was raining heavily outside we had to stay in the hotel all night.There were a lot of guests at the party and the room was packed.I was dancing when I saw the smoke.People began to panic， but there were so many of us that we couldn’t get out quickly.Soon the room was full of smoke.I managed to open a window and get out of the burning building.The fire fighters arrived shortly after， but it took a long time for them to put out the fire.Luckily， all the guests got out in time.Some of them had to go to hospital because of burns and breathing problems.Fortunately， the fire fighters had put out the fire before it spread to the rest of the hotel.However， the room where the party was held was completely destroyed.I was told later that it was because the building had been struck by lightning.Can you believe it？

During my senior year in college I came across “Private Voice Instruction”.As in singing lessons， I thought，“Why not step outside my comfort zone and give it a try？”
I was careful to sign up for private lessons instead of group lessons because I didn’t want to make a fool of myself by singing in front of other students.
Things went fine until the end of the term when my singing professor brought the shocking news.“By the way， Sean， have you decided which song you want to sing at the recital （演唱会）？”
“That would not be a good idea，” I said.The thought of singing in front of a group made me physically sick.
“Courage， Sean.” I kept rehearsing in my mind.“You’ve got to at least try.”
That dreaded day finally arrived.As I stood in front of the class， all eyes fell upon me.I couldn’t help but think，“How？ How in the world did I get myself into this situation？”
Even before I reached the second line， the expressions of excitement on the students’ faces turned to anguish （痛苦）.I was so nervous that my body felt as tight as jeans just pulled from the dryer.
Near the end of the song is a really high note.I don’t recall if I hit that note or missed it.All I remember is that a few students were so embarrassed that they couldn’t even look at me.
I finished and sat down quickly.Silence.No one knew what to say.
But do you know what？ Although that experience nearly killed me， when I left that classroom， I was so proud of myself.I felt a great sense of personal accomplishment， and I frankly didn’t care what anyone else thought about my high note.I had survived and I was proud of it.

B.He didn’t want to sing in public.

B.Excited and confident.

解析：C 细节理解题。根据第三至五段可知，作者听到要在演唱会上唱歌的消息既吃惊又紧张。

An important part of our lives is discovering what you’re good at.One thing I know for sure is that everyone has a talent， a gift， something they are good at.
After carving a beautiful sculpture， Michelangelo was asked how he was able to do it.He replied by saying that the sculpture was already in the block of rock from the very beginning； he just had to chisel （凿） off everything else around it.
Likewise， Victor Frankl， a famous doctor， taught that we don’t invent our talents in life but rather we discover them.In other words， you are already born with your talents， and you just need to uncover them.
I’ll never forget my experience with finding a talent I never thought I had.
To fulfill Mr Williams’s creative writing assignment for freshman English， I excitedly turned in my first high school paper， entitled “The Old Man and the Fish”.It was the same story my father had often told me at bedtime while I was growing up.I just assumed he had made it up.He didn’t bother telling me he had stolen the plot directly from Ernest Hemingway’s award-winning novel The Old Man and the Sea.I was shocked when my paper was returned with the remarks，“Sounds a bit trite.Like Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.” “Who’s this guy Hemingway？” I thought.“And how come he copied my dad？” That was my poor start to four years of rather boring high school English classes.
It wasn’t until college， when I took a short story class from an amazing professor， that I began to discover my passion for writing.If you can believe it， I even majored in English.Mr Williams would have felt surprised.
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者完成了老师布置的作文并兴奋地交了上去，但是老师的评语却让作者大失所望。
28.What does the author try to tell us by giving the example of Michelangelo and Victor Frankl？（ ）

B.It takes hard work to succeed.
C.Great talent leads to great work.

B.It was made up by his father.

30.What does the underlined word “trite” in paragraph 5 probably mean？（ ）
A.Not popular. B.Not original.
C.Not effective. D.Not common.
解析：B 词义猜测题。根据画线词下句可知，Williams老师说作者的故事跟海明威的小说《老人与海》非常相似，也就是说这个故事非原创、缺乏新意。
31.What can we infer about the author before going to college？（ ）
A.He had a passion for literature.
B.He showed a talent for writing.
C.He was appreciated by Mr Williams.
D.He didn’t know much about literature.
解析：D 推理判断题。根据第五段可知，作者当时根本不知道海明威，还以为海明威抄袭了他父亲的故事。由此可知，他上大学之前文学常识非常欠缺。
D
Several large companies have begun creating paper bottles to replace glass and plastic ones.Paper bottles aren’t quite ready to go yet， but you may see them appearing on shelves over the next few years.
Companies which sell liquids like drinks or shampoo rely on bottles for their packaging.Usually these bottles are made of plastic or glass.But as customers have become more concerned about the environment， many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles.
Paper bottles have many advantages.Perhaps the most important is that they should be easy to recycle.Paper bottles also weigh less than glass or plastic， meaning they’ll require less energy to produce and to move around.Since paper is soft and easy to mold， companies can design their bottles to take almost any shape they choose.
A company called Paboco has been working with many large companies to develop paper bottles.The companies are creating their own bottle designs， but they’re sharing what they learn， to speed up the development of paper bottle technology.
Clearly， one of the biggest challenges is keeping a paper bottle from leaking.The inside of the bottle needs a special coating to make sure the liquid doesn’t leak through.Many companies are lining their bottles with a thin sheet of plastic.
But even without the plastic， paper bottles aren’t perfect.Most paper bottles use wood pulp， meaning trees need to be cut down to make the bottles.That could harm animals and others who depend on the forests.
There’s still lots of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass or plastic panies will need to see how long liquids can be stored in the bottles， and make sure the bottles don’t affect the taste.
But with so many companies working toward the same goal， it’s likely that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future.

C.Confident. D.Doubtful.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
At VOA Learning English， we sometimes get questions like this：“How can I speak English with more confidence？”36. （ ） No matter what language we are learning， we would all love to speak more confidently.So today， we have three pieces of advice to help you gain confidence in your English-speaking ability.
Use positive self-talk
Believe it or not， the most important person you talk to every day is yourself.In other words： 37.（ ） So our first piece of advice is to use positive self-talk.
If you lack confidence as an English speaker， you may tell yourself things like， “38.（ ）” When you talk to other people， you may say things like， “I’m so sorry for my English.” But if you keep thinking and saying such things， you are sure to start believing them.
So the next time you are using your English， pay attention to what you tell yourself or others.Be sure to replace unhelpful thoughts or ideas with better ones.
Don’t worry too much
One of the biggest barriers to confidence in speaking a second language is the constant worry about making mistakes.
Understand that making mistakes is a natural part of the language learning process.Yes， you will make mistakes.39.（ ） And many English learners communicate very well， even with mistakes.Mistakes can be a good thing.The more mistakes you make， the more progress you will make.
Set realistic goals
If your English-speaking skills are at the beginner or intermediate level and you try to do something too difficult， you may fail.40.（ ） But， if you do something that matches your level， you are more likely to do it well.
A.That is a great question.
B.This can harm your confidence.
C.It is your thoughts that really matter.
D.Speak louder and slow down your speech.
E.English is too hard and I will never improve.
F.It is important to practise speaking English every day.
G.But the purpose of speaking a language is to communicate.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。我们都希望能够充满自信地讲英语，可我们应该怎么去做呢？
36.A 上句How can I speak English with more confidence？是一个问题，故A项符合语境。
37.C 上句指出：我们每天都会跟自己交谈。也就是说，我们每天都会进行思考（在内心进行对话），故C项符合语境。
38.E 由于我们缺乏自信，因此经常会告诉自己：英语太难了，我永远也提高不了。故E项符合语境。
39.G 根据上下文可知，说英语时犯错误并不重要，重要的是达到交流的目的。故G项符合语境。
40.B 上句指出：如果你学习太难的东西，就会遭遇失败。这样自然会打击你的自信。故B项符合语境。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了美国中小学家长会的一些情况。
56.happens 考查时态。根据上下文可知，这里应用一般现在时。疑问代词what作主语且不明确所指为单数或复数时，谓语动词通常用单数形式。
57.what 考查宾语从句。这里连接代词what引导一个宾语从句，在从句中作宾语。
58.are held 考查时态和语态。家长会是“被开”，且根据语境可知，应用一般现在时，因此这里用一般现在时的被动语态。
59.A 考查冠词。这里泛指老师，因此用不定冠词；且teacher的发音以辅音音素开头，故填A。
60.problems 考查名词复数。因为前面有some，且problem为可数名词，因此用名词的复数形式。
61.to ask 考查非谓语动词。这里用动词不定式短语作后置定语，修饰opportunity。
62.their 考查代词。本空后面是名词parents，因此这里应用形容词性物主代词。
63.honestly 考查词形转换。这里用副词来修饰前面的动词talk。
64.making 考查非谓语动词。本空前面是介词without，因此这里应用动词-ing形式作其宾语。
65.on 考查介词。这里介词on表示“关于”。some advice on ...表示“一些关于……的建议”。

（2025·河北省高一上联考）When I was in junior high school， maths was my greatest challenge. No matter how hard I tried， I always seemed to fall short. My test scores were often disappointing， and I felt my teenage life was full of confusion and frustration （挫败）. However， everything changed， thanks to the great support of my teacher， Mr Green， and my classmates.
One day， after another poor test result， I stayed behind after class， feeling defeated. Mr Green noticed my sadness and came to me with a smile. “Don’t worry， Jack，” he said softly. “Everyone may find something difficult. The important thing is not to give up. Let’s work on this together.”
Mr Green started explaining each concept （概念） more patiently， breaking it down into simpler parts. He used real-life examples to make ideas easy to understand. Every time after class， he would come to my seat and ask me if I understood the lesson. His devotion and encouragement helped me a lot， and slowly， I began to see improvement.
My classmates also played a role in my progress. My best friend， Mike， was good at maths. He offered to study with me during breaks. We would sit in the library， going over problems. He told me to face my mistakes bravely， and his positive attitude influenced me.
I would never forget the week before our final exams. I was struggling with a maths problem. Despite Mr Green’s and Mike’s help， I couldn’t solve it. One afternoon， Mike suggested we turn it into a game. He created a set of flash cards with different solutions. We took turns drawing cards and solving the problem as quickly as possible. Most importantly， we found joy in it. Of course， I made great progress in maths.
The day of the final exam arrived. I took a deep breath and remembered all the hard work and support I had received. When the result was announced， I could hardly believe my eyes： I had scored the highest mark in my class in maths. Later， we formed a group and invited more students to learn maths together.

During my senior year in college I came across “Private Voice Instruction”.As in singing lessons， I thought，“Why not step outside my comfort zone and give it a try？”
I was careful to sign up for private lessons instead of group lessons because I didn’t want to make a fool of myself by singing in front of other students.
Things went fine until the end of the term when my singing professor brought the shocking news.“By the way， Sean， have you decided which song you want to sing at the recital （演唱会）？”
“That would not be a good idea，” I said.The thought of singing in front of a group made me physically sick.
“Courage， Sean.” I kept rehearsing in my mind.“You’ve got to at least try.”
That dreaded day finally arrived.As I stood in front of the class， all eyes fell upon me.I couldn’t help but think，“How？ How in the world did I get myself into this situation？”
Even before I reached the second line， the expressions of excitement on the students’ faces turned to anguish （痛苦）.I was so nervous that my body felt as tight as jeans just pulled from the dryer.
Near the end of the song is a really high note.I don’t recall if I hit that note or missed it.All I remember is that a few students were so embarrassed that they couldn’t even look at me.
I finished and sat down quickly.Silence.No one knew what to say.
But do you know what？ Although that experience nearly killed me， when I left that classroom， I was so proud of myself.I felt a great sense of personal accomplishment， and I frankly didn’t care what anyone else thought about my high note.I had survived and I was proud of it.
24.Why did the author choose the private lessons？（ ）

C.It turned out a failure. D.Few students watched it.
27.Why did the author feel proud of himself？（ ）
A.He had hit the high note. B.He had overcome himself.
C.He had conquered the audience. D.He thought he had done a great job.

An important part of our lives is discovering what you’re good at.One thing I know for sure is that everyone has a talent， a gift， something they are good at.
After carving a beautiful sculpture， Michelangelo was asked how he was able to do it.He replied by saying that the sculpture was already in the block of rock from the very beginning； he just had to chisel （凿） off everything else around it.
Likewise， Victor Frankl， a famous doctor， taught that we don’t invent our talents in life but rather we discover them.In other words， you are already born with your talents， and you just need to uncover them.
I’ll never forget my experience with finding a talent I never thought I had.
To fulfill Mr Williams’s creative writing assignment for freshman English， I excitedly turned in my first high school paper， entitled “The Old Man and the Fish”.It was the same story my father had often told me at bedtime while I was growing up.I just assumed he had made it up.He didn’t bother telling me he had stolen the plot directly from Ernest Hemingway’s award-winning novel The Old Man and the Sea.I was shocked when my paper was returned with the remarks，“Sounds a bit trite.Like Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea.” “Who’s this guy Hemingway？” I thought.“And how come he copied my dad？” That was my poor start to four years of rather boring high school English classes.
It wasn’t until college， when I took a short story class from an amazing professor， that I began to discover my passion for writing.If you can believe it， I even majored in English.Mr Williams would have felt surprised.
28.What does the author try to tell us by giving the example of Michelangelo and Victor Frankl？（ ）
A.We all have our talents. B.It takes hard work to succeed.
C.Great talent leads to great work. D.It’s difficult to finish something great.
29.What can we learn about the story in the author’s paper？（ ）
A.It was created by himself. B.It was made up by his father.
C.Mr Williams was familiar with it. D.Mr Williams read it for the first time.
30.What does the underlined word “trite” in paragraph 5 probably mean？（ ）
A.Not popular. B.Not original.
C.Not effective. D.Not common.
31.What can we infer about the author before going to college？（ ）
A.He had a passion for literature. B.He showed a talent for writing.
C.He was appreciated by Mr Williams. D.He didn’t know much about literature.

Several large companies have begun creating paper bottles to replace glass and plastic ones.Paper bottles aren’t quite ready to go yet， but you may see them appearing on shelves over the next few years.
Companies which sell liquids like drinks or shampoo rely on bottles for their packaging.Usually these bottles are made of plastic or glass.But as customers have become more concerned about the environment， many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles.
Paper bottles have many advantages.Perhaps the most important is that they should be easy to recycle.Paper bottles also weigh less than glass or plastic， meaning they’ll require less energy to produce and to move around.Since paper is soft and easy to mold， companies can design their bottles to take almost any shape they choose.
A company called Paboco has been working with many large companies to develop paper bottles.The companies are creating their own bottle designs， but they’re sharing what they learn， to speed up the development of paper bottle technology.
Clearly， one of the biggest challenges is keeping a paper bottle from leaking.The inside of the bottle needs a special coating to make sure the liquid doesn’t leak through.Many companies are lining their bottles with a thin sheet of plastic.
But even without the plastic， paper bottles aren’t perfect.Most paper bottles use wood pulp， meaning trees need to be cut down to make the bottles.That could harm animals and others who depend on the forests.
There’s still lots of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass or plastic panies will need to see how long liquids can be stored in the bottles， and make sure the bottles don’t affect the taste.
But with so many companies working toward the same goal， it’s likely that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future.
32.Why have many companies begun to develop paper bottles？（ ）
A.To reduce the cost. B.To make more money.
C.To become more famous. D.To protect the environment.
33.In the author’s eyes， paper bottles aren’t perfect because .（ ）
A.they lead to the loss of forests B.the liquid may leak through them
C.they are not as strong as plastic ones D.they are more expensive than glass ones
34.What’s the author’s attitude to paper bottles’ appearing on shelves？（ ）
A.Unclear. B.Worried.
C.Confident. D.Doubtful.
35.What would be the best title for the passage？（ ）
A.Paper Bottles May Produce New Problems
B.Companies Work to Develop Paper Bottles
C.Will Paper Bottles Replace Plastic Ones？
D.Are Paper Bottles Better Than Plastic Ones？

So the next time you are using your English， pay attention to what you tell yourself or others.Be sure to replace unhelpful thoughts or ideas with better ones.
Don’t worry too much

Set realistic goals

D.Speak louder and slow down your speech.
E.English is too hard and I will never improve.
