A．is to arrive; am meeting B．is arriving; meet
C．is going to arrive; am to meet D．is about to arrive; will meet
【答案】B
【详解】考查动词时态。句意：他马上就到。我一见到他就给你打电话。分析句子结构可知，当表示按
计划或安排要发生的动作，需用现在进行时代替一般将来时，表最近或较近的将来，所用动词多是转移
动词，arrive为转移动词，所以一空处应是现在进行时，二空处所在句子为as soon as引导的条件状语从
句，需遵循主将从现，也就是主句用将来时，从句一般现在时代替一般将来时，所以二空处用一般现在
时。故选B项。
2．This time yesterday Jack _________his bike.
A．is repairing B．was repairing C．repairs D．repaired
【答案】B
【详解】考查时态。句意：昨天的这个时候杰克正在修他的自行车。A. is repairing动词repair的现在进行
时；B. was repairing动词repair的过去进行时；C. repairs动词repair第三人称单数；D. repaired动词repair
的过去式。根据句中的时间状语“This time yesterday”可知此句陈述的是过去某个时刻正在进行的动作，
用过去进行时。故选B。
3．In recent years, a global campaign ______ by the Space Agency to promote further development of the
manned aviation.
A．launched B．has launched C．was launched D．has been launched
【答案】D
【详解】考查时态语态。句意：近年来，航天局发起了一场全球运动，以促进载人航空的进一步发展。分析句子可知，这里考查谓语动词， a global campaign与launch为被动关系，且由In recent years可知，
这里应用现在完成时，所以此空应填现在完成时的被动语态。故选D项。
4．The committee has approved his ______ that he put off his gap year till he finishes the research.
A．application B．wisdom C．arrangement D．request
【答案】D
【详解】考查名词辨析。句意：委员会已经批准了他的请求，要求他推迟空档年，直到他完成研究。A.

C．that , to play computer games D．it, to play computer games
【答案】D
【详解】考查固定句型。句意：我认为玩电脑游戏是浪费时间。分析句子，这里考查主语+think+形式宾

为、尽管；B. When当……时候；C. While尽管；D. Unless除非。分析句子结构可知，空处引导状语从句，
根据句意，此处表达“虽然，尽管”之意，引导让步状语从句，应该用while；as引导让步状语从句时需
倒装。故选C项。
7．Celeste Ng’s latest book, plot is quite new and original, has received a lot of attention.
A．which B．where C．whose D．that
【答案】C
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：伍绮诗的新书情节新颖、具有原创性，受到了广泛关注。分析句子可知，
空处引导非限制性定语从句，对先行词book作补充说明，先行词在从句中作定语，和plot之间是所属关
系，因此应用关系代词whose作引导词。故选C。
8．——Have you conveyed to your parents your disagreement: with the choice of your major?

“eat with their eyes”可知，此处指他们喜欢点那些“看起来”好看的食物。故选C项。
12．There was no one else in the classroom, so he ______ it by himself.
A．should have done B．need have done C．must have done D．could have
done

B. need have done本需要做；C. must have done肯定做过；D. could have done本能做。 由“There was no
one else in the classroom”可知教室里面没人，所以“肯定”是他自己做完的,表示对过去情况的肯定推测用
must have done。故选C。

的双胞胎。A. another(三者及以上的)另一个；B. other其他的；C. the other(两者中的)另一个；D. the others
其余的（人或物）。分析句子可知，句子的后面部分实际上都是独立主格结构，省略了being，one a baby
可补充为one being a baby，空处应是名词性成分，再根据“three sons”和“one a baby”可知，此处在介绍
三个儿子的情况，空前的one指三个儿子中的一个，空处指的是三个儿子中剩余的两个，故应用the
others，相当于the other two sons。故选D项。
15．Only when ________ in the afternoon ________ able to leave.

C．was the match over; were they D．was the match over; they were

个时间状语从句，从句应用陈述句语序，即应用the match was over。“Only+状语从句”位于句首时，主
句应用部分倒装结构，即将助动词、情态动词或be动词提到主语之前，所以这里主句中应把were提到
they之前。故选B。

第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Choosing a major is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make while you’re in college. It’s important that you
make your choice confidently and after some consideration.
There’s Nothing Wrong With Being “Undecided”.
Between 20% and 50% of college freshmen enter school without a declared major. Keep in mind that there’s
nothing wrong with remaining “undecided” or “undeclared” for the first few years of your college career. You can
use this time to decide what you’re interested in. Also, keep in mind that even if you do declare a major your
原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 8freshman year, you can always change your mind. About one-third of first-time college students change their
major within three years. Even more, over 60% of college graduates say they would go back and change their
major if they could, primarily to pursue their passion areas and expand their job opportunities.
Explore Your Passions and Abilities.
Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your unique abilities. With an
undeclared major to start, you can take time to really develop into what interests you. Join clubs around campus to
connect with fellow students who share your interests. Take electives in areas that you might not otherwise have
an opportunity to experience. For example, when else might you be able to take a poetry course or an art history
seminar? College is the perfect time to step out of your box and expand your horizons. As a student with an
undeclared major, you’re uniquely positioned to do just that.
Consider Employment Opportunities.
While it’s important to choose a major that interests you, it’s also critical to choose a college major that will
provide you with future employment opportunities. Statistically, the college majors that tend to have the most
earning power are in STEM. These majors might include health sciences or computer engineering. Business
majors can also expect a higher than average earning potential. That being said, employers frequently recognize
that graduates who majored in the liberal arts have valuable soft skills, too, including strong communication,
written and verbal skills, and leadership abilities. The key is to pick a major that will be marketable for the career
you’re interested in pursuing.
Talk to an Academic Advisor.
If you need a little guidance, set up an appointment with an academic advisor or career counselors. Career
development counselors and academic advisors can help you narrow down your options. If you have an idea of
what classes you’ve most enjoyed and what career paths are most appealing to you, working with one of these
professionals might be the final push you need to pick a major.
Still have some doubts now? You can submit your questions Here.

major. Keep in mind that there’s nothing wrong with remaining “undecided” or “undeclared” for the first few
years of your college career. You can use this time to decide what you’re interested in.( 20%到50%的大学新生入
学时没有指定专业。请记住，在大学生涯的前几年保持“犹豫不决”或“未定”并没有什么错。你可以
利用这段时间来决定你感兴趣的专业)”可知，你不必在进入大学时就决定你的专业。故选D项。
37．细节理解题。根据第三段“Set aside some time to really explore your passions and take stock of your
unique abilities. With an undeclared major to start, you can take time to really develop into what interests you.
Join clubs around campus to connect with fellow students who share your interests. Take electives in areas that
you might not otherwise have an opportunity to experience.( 留出一些时间来真正探索你的激情，评估你的独

你缩小选择范围.)”可知，学术顾问或职业顾问会会帮助我们缩小选择范围。故C选项“学术顾问或职业
顾问会为你决定专业”错误。故选C项。
40．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still have some doubts now? You can submit your questions Here.( 现在还
有些疑惑吗?你可以在这里提交问题.)”可推知，本文来自网页。故选B项。
B
We were designing a wheelchair for a college engineering course. My classmates were certain that we needed
to use steel and they felt only steel would be strong enough. I thought steel would be too heavy and aluminum
would be a better option. But the student who strongly advocated steel worked at a bike shop. A few days later,
when the big and heavy steel arm kept dropping down, I wished I had shown more determination to defend my
position.
I enjoyed doing handiwork and my parents would come home and see artworks I had finished that day—
painting, clay sculpting, sewing stuffed animals, etc. But when I studied engineering in college, these pursuits
were deep-sixed. Not only was I stretched for time, but I didn’t think they were relevant to my academic work. I
hesitated to highlight my female crafting (手工艺) interests in the male-dominated engineering environment
where I already felt like an outsider.
When I went on to pursue a Ph.D．— early in the pandemic, I felt anxious and turned to crafting. One day I
was making a set of dice as a gift for a friend. While putting the liquid resin (树脂) into the silicone mold (硅胶模
具), I made a joke to my partner that I was “injection molding” — a standard engineering manufacturing process.
I suddenly realized that although resin art is not injection molding in the technical sense, it shares the spirit and
probably some skills.
Soon I saw connections between engineering and crafting that I had previously overlooked. When working
on the wheelchair project, I used my sewing skills to create cushioned grips for the handles. I saw how crafting
taught me to persevere when my product didn’t match my initial vision and to consider the failed creation alearning experience, just as an engineer must.
Since then, I’ve built crafting back into my free time. I’ve also stopped hiding it from my colleagues. I
mentioned my dice-making experience at a robotics conference and explained in a team meeting how we could
gain inspiration from art experiences. I was glad that the responses were positive — not rude or dismissive, as I
used to fear.
41．What can we know about the author and her classmates?
A．They had a sort of love-hate relationship.
B．They worked part-time at a local bike shop.
C．They had disagreements when creating a wheelchair.
D．They knew nothing about the structure of wheelchairs.
42．What does the underlined word “deep-sixed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

environment where I already felt like an outsider.”以及画线词上文“But when I studied engineering in college,
these pursuits were”可知，作者在大学学习工程学时，不仅时间紧张，而且认为手工与自己的学术工作无
关，并且在男性主导的工程环境中，作者已经感觉自己像个局外人，因此推断作者犹豫要不要突出对手
工的兴趣。由此可知，作者上了大学把手工艺搁置在一边了。故画线词意思是“搁置”。故选A。
43．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I hesitated to highlight my female crafting (手工艺) interests in the male-
dominated engineering environment where I already felt like an outsider.(在男性主导的工程环境中，我已经感
觉自己像个局外人，我犹豫着要不要突出我女性手工艺的兴趣)”可知，作者认为过去的工程环境对女性不
友好。故选B。
44．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Soon I saw connections between engineering and crafting that I had
previously overlooked.When working on the wheelchair project, I used my sewing skills to create cushioned grips
for the handles.When working on the wheelchair project, I used my sewing skills to create cushioned grips for the

产品不符合我最初的设想时，我看到了手工制作如何教会我坚持下去，并将失败的创作视为一次学习经
验，就像工程师必须做的那样)”可推断，给朋友做礼物后，作者体会到了手工制作可以帮助她成为一个更
好的工程师。故选D。
45．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“When working on the wheelchair project, I used my sewing skills to
create cushioned grips for the handles. I saw how crafting taught me to persevere when my product didn’t match
my initial vision and to consider the failed creation a learning experience, just as an engineer must.(在做轮椅项目

Styrofoam, or polystyrene, is a light-weight material, about 95 percent air, with very good insulation (隔热)
properties, according to Earthsource.org. It is used in products from cups that keep your drinks hot or cold to
packaging material that protects items during shipping. With the above good features, Styrofoam still enjoys a bad
reputation. It cannot be recycled without releasing dangerous pollution into the air. The U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency says it is the fifth-largest creator of harmful waste.But now the common worms which are usually disgusting can come to the rescue, specifically, mealworms.
Scientists from the U. S. and China have discovered that mealworms can digest plastic. One mealworm can digest
a pill-sized amount of plastic a day. Study co-author Wei-Min Wu says that in 24 hours, the plastic is turned into
carbon dioxide.
Since Styrofoam has no nutrition at all, are the worms hurt by eating plastic? Much to the scientists’ surprise,
the study found that worms eating Styrofoam were as healthy as worms eating bran (谷糠). The researchers will
study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system, looking to copy the plastic breakdown but on a larger scale.
Once the way can be put into practice, it will make a revolutionary difference to the disposal of plastic.
“Solving the issue of plastic pollution is important”, says Wu, a Stanford University environmental
engineering instructor. After all, our earth is small and landfill space is becoming limited with too much garbage
waiting to be dealt with, he says.
About 33-million tons of plastic are thrown away in the United States every year. Plastic plates, cups and
containers take up 25 percent to 30 percent of space in America’s landfills. One Styrofoam cup takes more than 1
million years to recycle in a landfill, according to Cleveland State University.
46．What do we know about Styrofoam?
A．It can be used to cool drinks.
B．It is a weightless material.
C．It is harmful when recycled.
D．It is usually used on ships.
47．What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．Mealworms have amazing digesting power.
B．Mealworms are not bad in their nature.
C．Mealworms can rescue people’s lives.
D．People misunderstood mealworms in the past.
48．Why will researchers study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system?
A．To find ways to help mealworms grow larger.
B．To imitate their ways of breaking down plastic.
C．To help develop their digesting ability.
D．To make sure of their safety after eating plastic.
49．In the future, plastic may be recycled ______.
A．by raising amounts of mealworms
原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 14B．by environmental engineering instructors
C．using a method inspired by eating mealworms
D．without sending out dangerous pollution
50．What’s the main idea of this passage?
A．Styrofoam is widely used in daily life.
B．Mealworms are genius at eating plastic.
C．Plastic recycling may be no more a problem.
D．Plastic can be turned into carbon dioxide.
【答案】46．C 47．A 48．B 49．D 50．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料在日常生活中有很多的优点，但是在回收
再利用时会产生污染，最近研究发现一种蠕虫能帮助解决聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料回收再利用时造成的环境污
染问题。
46．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“With the above good features, Styrofoam still enjoys a bad reputation. It
cannot be recycled without releasing dangerous pollution into the air.(尽管有上述优点，聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料仍
然享有坏名声。如果不向空气中释放危险的污染，就无法回收。)”可知，如果不向空气中释放危险的污染，
就无法回收，由此可知，这种塑料在回收时向空气中释放有害的物质。故选C项。
47．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Scientists from the U. S. and China have discovered that mealworms can
digest plastic. One mealworm can digest a pill-sized amount of plastic a day.(来自美国和中国的科学家发现，
粉虫可以消化塑料。一只粉虫一天可以消化药丸大小的塑料。)”可知，中美研究者发现，粉虫能消化塑料，
而且一只粉虫能一天消化药丸大小的塑料，由此可推断，粉虫有着惊人的消化能力。故选A项。
48．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers will study the worm’s eating habits and digesting system,
looking to copy the plastic breakdown but on a larger scale.(研究人员将研究这种蠕虫的饮食习惯和消化系统，
希望在更大的范围内复制塑料分解。)”可知，研究者研究蠕虫的饮食习惯和消化系统，指望着能更大范围
地复制这种分解，由此可知，研究者研究蠕虫的饮食习惯和消化系统是为了模仿蠕虫分解塑料的方式。
故选B项。
49．推理判断题。根据首段中的“With the above good features, Styrofoam still enjoys a bad reputation. It
cannot be recycled without releasing dangerous pollution into the air.(尽管有上述优点，聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料仍
然享有坏名声。如果不向空气中释放危险的污染，就无法回收。)”可知，聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料有很多的优点，
但是却在回收利用它时享有一个坏的名声，并结合倒数第三段中的“Once the way can be put into practice,
it will make a revolutionary difference to the disposal of plastic.(一旦这种方法被付诸实践，它将对塑料的处理产生革命性的影响。)”可知，一旦这种（蠕虫）分解塑料的方式被投入使用，会对塑料处理产生很大的
影响，由此可推断，在未来，塑料可以在没有释放有害物质的情况下被回收利用了。故选D项。
50．主旨大意题。根据首段“With the above good features, Styrofoam still enjoys a bad reputation. It cannot
be recycled without releasing dangerous pollution into the air. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency says it
is the fifth-largest creator of harmful waste.(尽管有上述优点，聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料仍然享有坏名声。如果不向
空气中释放危险的污染，就无法回收。美国环境保护署表示，它是有害废物的第五大制造者。)”可知，聚
苯乙烯泡沫塑料尽管有很多的优点，但是在对其回收再利用时会产生污染，根据第二段中的“But now the
common worms which are usually disgusting can come to the rescue, specifically, mealworms.(但现在，那些通
常令人作呕的普通蠕虫可以来拯救我们了，特别是粉虫。)”可知，研究者发现一种粉虫却能解决这一问题，
结合下文中经过对粉虫的饮食习惯和消化系统的研究分析，希望能大范围地复制这种粉虫分解塑料的方
式以便最终解决塑料回收时对环境造成的污染，由此可知，本文主要讲述的是塑料的回收利用不再是问
题。故选C项。

In today’s motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated. Inspirational
speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett-“Fail again. Fail better.” It seems that
disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end
in victory.
However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure constructively. In other words,
we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to
persevere and reach our goals. This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by
Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism. “Most of us picture ourselves as
competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he
says. “The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and
preserve a positive sense of self. We do this even without noticing.”
If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don’t really want it
at all, and stop applying for similar positions. The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a
publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript. “We tend to explain away our shortcomings and
convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process
原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 16is no longer making us happy. But the “sour-grape effect may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather
than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and
pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.
51．Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph 1?
A．To offer an example to handle failure.
B．To describe a shallow understanding of failure.
C．To introduce a common attitude towards failure.
D．To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.
52．What can we learn from the paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”?
A．It protects us from false feedback. B．It pictures us as competitive people.
C．It poses a severe threat to self-image. D．It denies negative feedback to ourselves.
53．What is the author’s attitude towards failure?
A．Short-sighted. B．Wait-and-see. C．Objective. D．Skeptical.
54．What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5mean?
A．Unhappily. B．Mistakenly. C．Hurriedly. D．Carelessly.
55．Which statement would the author most probably agree with?
A．Don’t escape when our self-image is broken.
B．Don’t quit when goals no longer make you happy.
C．Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”.
D．Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.
【答案】51．B 52．D 53．C 54．C 55．A
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了正确的失败观——失败是不可避免的。作者呼吁大家树立正确
的失败观，警惕“酸葡萄效应”，当我们完美的自我形象受到外界负面反馈的影响时，不要逃避，不要
贬低自己的价值，要勇敢地面对，从中得到学习和提高。
51．推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, psychological researches find most of us struggle to handle failure
constructively. In other words, we fail to “fail forward”. We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and
become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals(然而，心理学研究发现，我们大多数人都很难建设性
地处理失败。换句话说，我们不能“向前失败”。我们找到了贬低我们失败的任务的方法，变得不那么
有动力去坚持和达到我们的目标)”可推知，作者在第一段提出了一个看似正确但实则肤浅的观点，以便后文提出作者自己的见解：仅仅把失败当作一种幸运是肤浅的，而要有建设性地“失败”，从中学习经验，
故选B。
52．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism.
“Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a
serious threat to that self-image,” he says. ( Sjastad 解释说“酸葡萄效应”是一种自我保护机制。“我们大
多数人把自己想象成有能力的人，所以当外部反馈表明情况并非如此时，这种自我形象就会受到严重威
胁，”他表示。)”可知，“酸葡萄效应”是一种自我保护机制，会否认外界对于我们的负面反馈，故选
D。
53．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“It doesn’t mean we should persevere in goals all the time. It can be
healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy. (这并不意味着我们应该一直坚持目标。
如果这个过程不再让我们感到快乐，那么改变雄心壮志可能是健康的。)”和最后一段“Failures are
unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing
happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.(失败是不可避免的。通过学会面对失望，而不是贬低
它的重要性，假装什么都没发生，你可能会发现更容易实现你的目标。)”可知，作者认为失败是不可避免
的，有时候我们需要失败，同时要面对失败，由此可推知，作者从正反两方面来对待失败，所以说作者
对待失败的态度是客观的，故选C。
54．词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and
improve.(而不是坚持一会儿，看看我们是否可以学习和提高。)”可知，前后是对比关系，即酸葡萄效应可
能导致我们过早地做出这个决定，而不是坚持一会儿，看看我们是否可以学习和提高，由此可推知，划
线单词prematurely，与hanging on a little意思相反，意为“过早地”，与C项“匆忙地”意思相近，故选
C。
55．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Failures are unavoidable. By learning to face the disappointment instead
of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.( 失败
是不可避免的。通过学会面对失望，而不是贬低它的重要性，假装什么都没发生，你可能会发现更容易
实现你的目标。)”可推知，作者通过全文的讨论，呼吁大家树立正确的失败观，警惕“酸葡萄效应”，当
我们完美的自我形象受到外界负面反馈的影响时，不要逃避，不要贬低自己的价值，要勇敢地面对，从
中得到学习和提高，故作者最有可能同意A项“当我们的自我形象被打破时，不要逃避”，故选A。

Meet Mahdi Gilbert, the 25-year-old Canadian magician making waves in the world of magic. He practices
card manipulation (握牌手法) and sleight of hand (敏捷手法), a common skill set for a magician, but what makes
him different is his lack of hands.
Standing at four feet and six inches, Gilbert’s left arm stops at the elbow, and he has an appendage (附肢) on
his right arm. Gilbert was forced to reinvent magic for himself, individually recreating all of the techniques used
in his mind. Despite his lack of access to information about magic, having never visited any magic stores, or read
any magic books, Gilbert confidently told his high school guidance teacher. “I’m going to be a magician.” She
asked, “Do you do magic now?” to which he replied “Not yet. But I will.”
Mahdi began seeking out magicians online and on television as a teenager, and soon became a follower of
David Blaine. When he was sixteen, Gilbert decided to move away from mental based magic toward more
magical tricks. He bought a deck of cards and a book on card manipulation, but he didn’t tell anyone what he was
doing. Eventually, he mastered shuffling (洗牌) and then began to master different magical tricks in more
complex ways.
He began to make connections with other magicians through magic shops and his reputation began to mount.
In March, Gilbert attended Magic-Con, a magic conference in San Diego, where many famous magicians were in
attendance, including David Blaine. Gilbert quickly became the talk of the conference, and his reputation took off.
In the seven years since that Magic-Con. Gilbert has gone on to appear on television shows and has traveled to
and performed in 18 countries.
56．As a magician, what makes Gilbert different from others? (no more than 5 words)
57．How did Gilbert learn magical skills? (no more than 5 words)
58．As a teenager, how did Gilbert feel about his dream? (no more than 10 words)
59．What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean? (1 word)
60．What can you learn from Gilbert’s story? Put it in your own words. (no more than 20 words)【答案】56．His lack of hands. /That he has no hands. 57．He taught himself. 58．He confidently
thought he would realize his dream. 59．Grow. 60．We should have dreams, and hold fast to our
dreams, no matter how big or small they are.
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了没有双手的著名魔术师Mahdi Gilbert的成名史。
56．考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“He practices card manipulation (握牌手法) and sleight of hand (敏捷手
法), a common skill set for a magician, but what makes him different is his lack of hands.(他练习握牌手法和敏
捷手法，这是魔术师的一种常见技能，但让他与众不同的是，他没有双手。)”可知，让Gilbert与众不同
的是，他没有手，故答案为His lack of hands. /That he has no hands。
57．考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“Gilbert was forced to reinvent magic for himself, individually
recreating all of the techniques used in his mind.( Gilbert被迫为自己重新发明魔法，独自重新创造他脑海中
的使用的所有技巧。)”可知，Gilbert是通过自己教自己而学会的魔法技巧，故答案为He taught himself。
58．考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“Despite his lack of access to information about magic, having never
visited any magic stores, or read any magic books, Gilbert confidently told his high school guidance teacher. “I’m
going to be a magician.”(尽管无法获得有关魔法的信息，也从未去过任何魔法商店，也没度过任何魔法书，
但他自信地告诉他的高中老师，‘我要成为一名魔法师。’)”可知，Gilbert自信地认为他可以成为一名魔
法师，故答案为He confidently thought he would realize his dream.。
59．考查词义猜测。根据划线词mount 后文的内容“In March, Gilbert attended Magic-Con, a magic
conference in San Diego, where many famous magicians were in attendance, including David Blaine. Gilbert
quickly became the talk of the conference, and his reputation took off.(3月，Gilbert出席了圣地亚哥举行的魔
术师大会，许多著名的魔术师都出席了此会议，其中包括David Blaine。Gilbert很快就成了大会上的讨论，
他的名声也随之而起。)”可知，此处的划线词mount 意为“提升”，故答案为Grow。
60．考查推理判断。根据文章第一段“Meet Mahdi Gilbert, the 25-year-old Canadian magician making waves
in the world of magic. He practices card manipulation (握牌手法) and sleight of hand (敏捷手法), a common
skill set for a magician, but what makes him different is his lack of hands.( 他练习握牌手法和敏捷手法，这是
魔术师的一种常见技能，但让他与众不同的是，他没有双手。)”可知，本篇文章主要讲述了没有双手
Mahdi Gilbert的是如何通过自己的努力和坚持成为一个著名的魔术师，如何将不可能实现的梦想变成现实
的，因此从他的故事中我们了解到，我们应该要有梦想，不论梦想是大还是小，我们都应该坚持实现它，
故答案为We should have dreams, and hold fast to our dreams, no matter how big or small they are.。
