Recently, as I watched my son Nathan playing basketball game, I felt sorry for myself and for him. He was playing in the other team’s home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan’s team was falling behind for three quarters of the game. As for me, I was dismissed from my job earlier in the day.
Watching the difficult situation that my son was experiencing, I remembered that during the drive home earlier in the day, I kept telling myself that “just like last time I experienced this, I’ll find work again in a short time—I’m confident in my experience and abilities and believe in myself.” But then, self-doubt hit me.
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan’s team still falling behind. I saw the determination on his, as well as his teammates’ faces as they fought back to not only tie with the other team, but then go ahead by three points. Then, the scores were tied again.With a tie game and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball, and with skill and confidence, he moved forward to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul.
As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points, I saw the focus and determination on his face; there was no room for self-doubt. He made it, helping his team win the game. Later he told me he didn’t know how he did it because he had lost all feelings in his right arm from being thrown to the floor earlier the game.
As my heart burst with pride, I realized something. I had taught my son—perseverance in the face of difficulties, and he had just taught me the same lesson.

Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time – about eight hours after you wake up – your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates(气候), where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional (传统的), people often suffer less from problems such as heart disease.
Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap – even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
46. Why do people feel sleepy in the early afternoon according to the text?
A. Their body temperature becomes lower.
B. They sleep too little at night.
C. They eat too much for lunch.
D. The weather becomes a lot warmer.
47. If you get up at 6:30 am, what is the best time for you to take a nap?
A. About 12:30 pm. B. About 2:30 pm
C. About 1:30 pm. D. About 3:30 pm
48. What advice does the writer give on taking a nap?
A. You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.
B. You can sleep as long as you like so that you will not feel tied or sleepy.
C. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.
D. If your time is limited, a short nap can also help.
49. Naps are good for everyone in any climate because ______________ .
A. a nap makes both your body and mind have a good rest.
B. a daily nap benefits your health.
C. people who often take naps suffer less from problems such as heart disease than those who don’t.
D. All the above.

The mind is a wonderful thing.It’s also excuse-making machine that frequently tries to convince us not to take action we know are good for us.If we hadn't learned about these excuses, or how to overcome them, we would never have succeeded in making these positive changes.
So why does the mind mess with us and make unreasonable excuses? Because the mind wants comfort, that's the reason.It’s afraid of discomfort, pressure and change.The mind is absorbed in its comfort zone, and anytime we try to stretch that zone too far, for too long, the mind tries desperately to get back to "ground zero" at any cost.These damaging excuses, such as "I can't do it", "It is too hard for me", "It’s too late now" and so on, are no strangers to our minds.
It seems too difficult at first, so you think you can't stick to the positive change you're making.This excuse can be countered (对抗）by looking at the fact that other people were no more capable than you thought you were.For example, my 60-year-old next-door neighbor finished running a marathon, so I told myself, "If she can do it, so can I !" Truth be told, the only person who tells you "I can't" is yourself.If you hear those words echoing in the back of your mind, tune them out.
I've witnessed people reinventing themselves at all ages 48-year-olds starting families, 57-year-olds graduating from college for the first time, 71-year-olds starting successful businesses, and so forth.
Another common excuse is that "I've already failed too much." If you break down, it's fine, because you are only human.Just don't stay down; take a rest, and then pick yourself up so you can go to where you'd rather be.As Winston Churchill said, "Success is never final; failure is never fatal .It is courage to continue that counts."
Some people feel like quitting when they have almost reached their goal, while others attain goals through their efforts until the last second.So make some necessary adjustments to get rid of the bad habit of making excuses.Keep going! No excuses! Think, work, and climb, that's how you'll move your life forward.
51. Why does our mind make excuses?
A. It tends to seek comforts rather than suffering.
B. It needs rest and relaxation .
C. It is preparing for the difficult times.
D. It is the way it tries to find a solution.
52. What might "ground zero" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The lowest spot. B. The safest place
C. The original place D. The proper position
53. Knowing his neighbor finished the marathon made the author realize________.
A. completing a marathon was not too difficult
B. people often neglect their abilities
C. looking down upon the others is wrong
D. people shouldn't let negative thoughts step in their way
54. For someone who fears failure, the author advises him to_______.
A. learn from those good examples
B. stop for a while and examine himself
C. try to adjust himself, and get back on his feet
D. look for new directions and keep trying
55. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A. To tell readers how to make a change.
B. To help readers develop a new view of life.
C. To encourage readers to leave their comfortable zone.
D To tell readers to stop making excuses and keep fighting.
【答案】51. A 52. C 53. D 54. C 55. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文，文章主要告诉读者在面临困难的时候不要再找借口，继续战斗。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“So why does the mind mess with us and make unreasonable excuses? Because the mind wants comfort, that's the reason. It’s afraid of discomfort, pressure and change.” （那么，为什么大脑会搅乱我们，找不合理的借口呢？因为大脑需要舒适，这就是原因。它害怕不适、压力和改变）可知，我们大脑找借口的原因是它更倾向于寻求舒适而不是痛苦。故选A项。
【52题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“The mind is absorbed in its comfort zone”可知，我们的大脑被它的舒适区所吸引，这说明大脑不愿离开自己的舒适区，因此此处是说当大脑远离自己的舒适区时，它会不惜一切代价拼命地试图回到原点，由此可知此处的“原点”指的就是前面提到的“舒适区”，故选C项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Truth be told, the only person who tells you "I can't" is yourself.If you hear those words echoing in the back of your mind, tune them out.” （说实话，唯一对你说“我不行”的人就是你自己。如果你听到这些话在你的脑海中回荡，那就把它们关掉）可知，作者正在得知60岁的邻居完成了马拉松比赛后，感慨人们不应该让消极的想法妨碍自己，不要对自己说“我不行”。故选D项。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Just don't stay down; take a rest, and then pick yourself up so you can go to where you'd rather be.” 只是不要沮丧，休息一下，然后振作起来，去你想去的地方。可知，作者建议害怕失败的人试着调整一下自己，重新站起来，故选C项。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So make some necessary adjustments to get rid of the bad habit of making excuses. Keep going! No excuses!” （所以做一些必要的调整，摆脱找借口的坏习惯。继续前进!不要找借口！）可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了告诉读者不要再找借口，继续战斗，故选D项。

Most of us probably dreamed about becoming an astronaut when we were little. But how many of us actually became one, or are at least working toward it?
The advice “Always follow your dreams” is something that is typically easier said than done.
But still, this is the one piece of advice that Alyssa Carson wants to share with her peers. This 17-year-old girl from the US has become one of the candidates for NASA’s 2033 project to go to Mars. If everything goes well, Carson will be one of the first human beings to ever set foot on the red planet.
Carson has dreamed of going to Mars since she was only three years old. Watching an astronaut-themed cartoon and learning that humans have only been to the moon but not Mars, Carson decided that she wanted to be the first one to do so.
Since then, she has worked hard toward this goal. At the age of 12, Carson became the first person to attend all three NASA space camps, and she sat with real astronauts in a NASA panel(座谈会) to discuss the future of Mars missions.
Now 17, Carson is continuing with her space training while still taking on her high school work like a “normal” teenager, except that she studies all her subjects in four languages – English, French, Spanish and Chinese.
“I don’t think there’s anything specific that makes it easier for me or makes it something that others can’t do,” Carson said in an interview with Uproxx News. “I’ve just really focused myself on what I want to accomplish.”
And Carson is willing to make sacrifices for her dream. She’s fully aware of the danger of the mission and the possibility that she might never be able to come back. She also accepts the fact that she can’t get married and start a family because any loved ones left on Earth may be a distraction for her and for the mission. But Carson believes that it’s all worth it, summarizing her view with this ancient Greek proverb she once quoted, “A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they’ll never sit in.”
So after all the hard work that Carson has done and all the sacrifices she’s made, everything still boils down to the simple phrase, “follow your dreams”. And while some people’s dreams may sound out of this world, in Carson’s case, they literally(毫不夸张地) are.
56. What will happen to Carson in 2033 if everything goes well? (No more than 8 words)
__________________________________________________________________________
57. Why did Carson decide to be the first one to go to Mars? (No more than 20 words)

58. How does Carson differ from other students for the school work? (No more than 10 words)
__________________________________________________________________________
59. How do you understand the underlined sentence? (No more than 20 words)
__________________________________________________________________________
60. What do you think of the girl? And why? (No more than 25 words)
__________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. She will set foot on the Mars. / She will go to the Mars.
57. Because of watching an astronaut-themed cartoon and learning that humans have only been to the moon but not Mars.
58. She studies all her subjects in four languages.
59. A society will make progress if people make contributions without considering personal benefits.
60. She is brave and unselfish, because she may not return to the earth and is willing to make sacrifices for her dream.

【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段Watching an astronaut-themed cartoon and learning that humans have only been to the moon but not Mars, Carson decided that she wanted to be the first one to do so.可知Carson看了一部以宇航员为主题的卡通片，了解到人类只登上过月球，没有登上过火星，于是她决定成为第一个登上月球的人。字数要求是不能超过二十个字，所以本题的答案是：Because of watching an astronaut-themed cartoon and learning that humans have only been to the moon but not Mars.
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段Now 17, Carson is continuing with her space training while still taking on her high school work like a “normal” teenager, except that she studies all her subjects in four languages – English, French, Spanish and Chinese.可知Carson用四门语言学习课程，这是她不同于其他学生的地方。字数要求是不能超过十个字，所以本题的答案是：She studies all her subjects in four languages.
【59题详解】
语句理解题。A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they’ll never sit in.这句话的字面意思是：当老人知道不能在自己种的树下乘凉却还坚持种树时，这个社会就发展了。再结合这段内容：这段主要讲了Carson为了为自己的梦想牺牲自己个人的利益。所以这句话引申为：当人们不考虑个人利益而为社会做贡献时，这个社会就发展了。字数要求是不能超过二十个字，所以本题的答案是：A society will make progress if people make contributions without considering personal benefits.
【60题详解】
