“Do it now. Jump up on that box now,” Sabrina Reiswig, the coach yells.
Tim Bannon, 14, born without arms, gives it a try. He comes up short trying to jump onto the 20-inch
platform.
“On the box,” Reiswig yells. “Do it again.”
He misses again, but refuses to quit.
This is NubAbility, an organization committed to instructing and motivating young amputee (被截肢者)
athletes like Tim. The camp gets its inspiration from its coaches, who are also amputees. Coach Sabrina Reiswig,
who has been an amputee since she was 8, shows no mercy to Tim at this moment.
“He was pacing,” Reiswig said. “He was upset. He was kind of frustrated with himself.”
Eventually, Tim sticks the landing. He falls into Reiswig’s arm and begins to cry. That moment has gained
more than 4 million views on Twitter and more than 500,000 likes on Instagram. “ ‘Can’t’ is not allowed at our
camp,” said founder and coach Sam Kuhnert, who was born without his left hand.
Box jumps are typically performed by swinging both arms forward with strength toward the box. Without
arms Tim was essentially jumping without momentum, which is much more challenging. It’s also riskier, as he
wouldn’t have been able to break a potential fall. “We have those arms to catch us, to keep our face from hitting,”
Kuhnert said. “Of course, he has those coaches there to catch him if he needed to, but he’s essentially risking injury
each time he attempts to jump up on that box.”
Kuhnert says this resilience (复原力) represents the culture at NubAbility. “We’re not a support group,” he
said. “We’re not a group that’s going to reach down a hand to help a kid up. We’re going to teach the kids what they
need to pick themselves up.”
4. What is NubAbility aimed to do for young amputee athletes?
A. Run camps for them to recover.
B. Attract public attention to them.
C. Provide emotional support for them.
D. Train them to face challenges head-on.
5. What do we know about the coaches of NubAbility?
A. They treat young amputee athletes badly.
B. They put great pressure on young amputee athletes.
C. They are always ready to comfort young amputee athletes.
D. They discourage negative self-talk among young amputee athletes.

Growing up, Stephanie Laska never worked out, preferring music class to P. E. and enjoying sugary drinks and
snacks. It wasn’t until her 40s, weighing around 300 pounds, that she decided to change her lifestyle. Simple diet
changes, like cutting out soda and limiting desserts, helped her lose 50 pounds. But she hit a plateau and realized
she needed to include moving.
Initially, Laska decided to just walk. Gradually, she added running, starting with just one side of a tennis court
and eventually running her first mile in 2014.
Laska kept her new habit a secret at first. One day, at the park with her kids, she ran to catch up with them on
their bikes. “The look on my daughter’s face when she saw me running was like she saw Santa Claus,” Laska
recalls. That’s when she started taking her one-mile jogs up to a 5 km,10 km, half-marathon and eventually
marathon distance. In 2015, she ran her first marathon and won first place in her age group.
“What motivated me was that it wasn’t as hard as I thought,” says Laska, who has lost a total of 140 pounds
and kept it off for four years. “People make huge decisions, but I just made a small choice to take a walk.” She
emphasizes that these small decisions can snowball into significant changes.
Taking life one step at a time has not only improved Laska’s well-being but promoted relationships with her
family and even brought on a promotion at work. When asked about the key to losing weight, Laska says,
“Exercise. For me, it is not about running a marathon, but about those daily decisions to just go outside.”
24. Why did Laska intend to transform her lifestyle?
A. To stay youthful.
B. To lose some weight.
C. To encourage kids.
D. To enjoy music better.
25. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 1?

26. How did Laska’s daughter react when she saw her mother running?
A. She was angry.

Nearly every weekend this summer, a rising senior and small business owner, Vic Cohen together with his
schoolmates could be found with their stand decorated with a variety of handmade chainmail jewelry (链甲珠宝).
Cohen only began making chainmail jewelry in April with no previous experience in jewelry making. Stuck on
campus until long past the end of the semester, Cohen found themselves looking for something to keep them
occupied, which led to them searching for courses online and on Pinterest after getting initial inspiration from Etsy.
“This was the first time I learned how to like an actual craft and like multiple dimensions of it,” Cohen said. “This
also lighted my passion for business. This idea originally started out only for my friends. And because I wanted
them to get cool jewelry without having to break the bank.”
Cohen began selling their jewelry to friends and on Instagram, and eventually at art markets: around town.
These markets have also been Cohen’s entry into Rochester’s dynamic art community attracting University of
Rochester students, students on other campuses, and young professionals in the city. This has allowed them to learn
from each other and improve on their art by learning different skills and employing different tips and tricks in their
pieces. Cohen has connected with Rochester Institute of Technology and Middlesex Community College students,
learning that the former institution has a jewelry- making major and meeting students within the major. “They’ve
praised my work, which is absolutely crazy,” Cohen said. “This has unintentionally been a great way to make
friends.” These connections led to them getting the chance to host a beginner chainmail class themselves. “I know
I’m capable of teaching other people and it’s really fun to share my love for this because as a STEM major, I get so
wrapped up in it, and being able to find a way out is nice.”
After graduation, Cohen plans to apply to different graduate schools and continue their small business on the
side. “I want this to remain something I love,” Cohen said.
28. What inspired Cohen to start the business?
A. His previous experience.
B. The thought of getting busy.
C. His passion for jewelry making.
D. The inspiration from online courses.
29. What can we know about Cohen’s chainmail jewelry?
A. It is reasonably priced.
B. It was initially sold online.
C. It is professionally designed.
D. It was first intended for credits.
30. What can people do in Rochester’s art community?
A. Attend courses of jewelry making.
B. Raise their skills in making jewelry.
C. Gain admission to the jewelry major.
D. Achieve a goal of gaining treasure.
31. Why did Cohen teach other people to make jewelry?
A. To show the love for art.
B. To share a way of relief.
C. To realize his dream of helping others.
D. To display his talent in making jewelry.

Sylvain Saudan’s skiing was so alarmingly ambitious that people struggled to believe his accomplishments
were real. The Swiss extreme skiing pioneer became the first to successfully rush down the Spencer Couloir’s 55-
degree slope (斜坡) — with more than 200 turns, at speeds close to freefall on France’s Aiguille de Blaitière
mountain in 1967. Locals didn’t trust that he’d really done it until a plane flew over the mountain and took photos
of his ski tracks. Nicknamed the “skier of the impossible,” Saudan sought out slopes from the Himalayas to the
Alps, often reaching the peaks by helicopter. But in 1982, he climbed for 25 days to reach the 26, 500-foot summit
of Pakistan’s Gasherbrum I, searching for virgin areas in its natural state. “The first to dare something are the real
adventurers,” he said in 2016. “It’s the first that counts.”
Raised on a farm in the Alps, Saudan didn’t have the resources to train as a competitive skier, and worked as a
laborer and truck driver before becoming a ski instructor. Teaching through icy winters in Scotland helped prepare
him for deadly slopes. After skiing the Spencer Couloir, he spent two decades “seeking greater challenges and
testing new methods,” said The Washington Post. He developed a new skiing style and introduced equipment
innovations for steep slopes, but ignored safety precautions as he shot down Oregon’s Mount Hood, Tanzania’s
Mount Kilimanjaro, and Nepal’s Dhaulagiri.
Saudan completed his last major expedition in 1986 by skiing down Mount Fuji on bare rocks, walking away
without a single cut. He “spent his life challenging gravity, avalanches, and obituary (讣告) writers,” said The New
York Times. He insisted that mental preparation helped keep fear cornered, yet death was never far from his mind.
“There’s really only one way out,” he said: “Don’t fall down.”
24. How did people react to Saudan’s achievement on the Spencer Couloir’s 55-degree slope?
A. They thought of him as a skiing pioneer.
B. They considered it as a fact at once.
C. They were ignorant of it completely.
D. They doubted it till evidence arrived.
25. Which of the following can best describe Saudan?
A. Brave and generous.
B. Adventurous and devoted.
C. Creative but timid.
D. Reserved but famous.
26. Why did Saudan go skiing?
A. To escape his past life as a laborer.
B. To push himself to new limits.
C To document adventures for fame.
D. To test new skiing equipment.
27. What does The New York Times imply about Saudan?
A. He faced extreme dangers in his career.
B. He was cautious during his expeditions.
C. His skiing methods were widely accepted.
D. His achievements were often questioned.

I talked with a friend recently who is overwhelmed by her workload. She asked me what tips I might have for
her around time management. That question surprised me. I’ve never thought of myself as someone with great time
management skills, mostly because I tend to avoid rigid productivity systems, believing that they limit creativity.
It wasn’t until we parted that it hit me. I don’t focus on time management, but on energy management.
Somewhere along the way, I learned that the time something takes is secondary to energy. I would argue that you
could work six hours on a task that gives you energy and feel fresh and ready for what’s next. Or, you could spend
three hours on a tiring and unfulfilling task and need to check out for the rest of the day.
I’m a fan of making lists and getting things crossed off the list. But maturity has taught me that satisfaction
comes not from crossing things off the list, but intentionality about what goes on the list. If everything on the list is
an energy waste, how will it feel to get those things done?
Russ Hudson, a teacher, said something recently that blew the doors open for me on this concept. He spoke
about the energy of frustration (懊恼), but it could be applied to any negative emotion. He said that frustration is an
addictive emotion because it causes us to be stressed. Hudson said, “Life force gets trapped in frustration.” So that
extensive energy I spend being frustrated is trapping life force energy that might go to more useful, productive,
creative pursuits.
In a world that often focuses on getting the most out of every hour, it’s about time we should change our focus.
We should pay attention to how our energy changes throughout the day, and learn how to create, use, and save it.
It’s not hard to start thinking this way. We just need to be more aware of ourselves and make careful choices.
24. Why is the author’s friend mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To lead in the topic.
B. To clarify a definition.
C. To present a common phenomenon.
D. To share a personal experience.
25. What is the author’s core argument about productivity?
A. Completing tasks quickly guarantees satisfaction.
B. Making task lists lays the foundation for achievements.
C. Energy management matters more than time management.
D. Strict time management systems are essential for success.
26. According to Russ Hudson, why is frustration problematic?
A. It wastes time that could be used for work.
B. It makes people ignorant of their limitations.
C. It leaves people trapped in their comfort zone.
D. It stops people pursuing something meaningful in life.
27. What might be talked about following the last paragraph?
A. Ways to reduce negative emotions in work.
B. The relationship between energy and creativity.
C. The disadvantages of focusing on time management.
D. Examples of managing energy through awareness and choices.

When in sixth grade, Antonio Chow spent hours on his phone, watching endless videos about the latest movies
and cars. His family worried as he became increasingly distant, his eyes glued to his phone’s screen. Soon his grade
slipped from an A to a B.
However, Antonio, 13, managed to pull away from social media addiction, and his family noticed the shift. He
started playing tennis again and going for walks with his dad. He and his sister Angelina, 15, joined a group
spending the last year creating videos and brochures on mental health and social media. Adolescents in the group
have dealt with social media addiction as the platforms they frequented fed them uncensored (未经审核的) streams
of content.
Through the Los Angeles Public Library’s Teens Leading Change initiative, a group of teenagers created
public service announcements and brochures that offer tips on how they and their peers can maintain healthful
habits online.
One afternoon, the teens gathered at the library for one final meet-up before they presented their efforts to
family and friends. Emily Meehan, a young adult librarian, guided them through their planned talking points.
“What’s one way to use social media in a healthy and mindful way?” Meehan asked. “While social media causes
lots of issues and stuff, people have also been using it to counteract that bad stuff,” Shira Cohen, a group member,
replied. “Yes, body positivity,” Meehan said, nodding.
On a Saturday afternoon, the group presented their project to proud parents. They offered advice on navigating
social media responsibly: don’t use the phone before going to bed, set a limit on social media use, practice
gratitude...
Jerry Chow, Antonio’s father, said that he was glad to see them take the lead in the conversation about social
media and understanding its effects. Meehan said,“ the project has proved the teens are seeing how social media
affects their lives and their peers’ lives, and they aren’t going to have that. They want to do something about it.”

Being incredibly talented doesn’t mean you’re untouched by anxiety, and many of the world’s best have to
handle anxiety precisely because they expect so much from themselves.
Take the world’s best soccer player named Mellionix. For all his brilliance, though, he’s famously anxious. For
years, he habitually vomited (呕吐) on the field before big games.
But Mellionix hasn’t allowed his anxiety to overshadow his brilliance because he’s mastered a coping
mechanism that also doubles as the secret behind his tactical (战术的) brilliance.
A soccer game lasts 90 minutes, with players active from the start. Mellionix is known for not engaging in the
game initially, often walking near the field’s center and not interacting with teammates. While others run, Mellionix
mostly walks, seldom accelerating beyond a slow jog.
Mellionix does two things during these first few minutes. First, he calms himself. Easing into the match is
Mellionix’s way of ensuring he’s fully engaged for the remainder of the match. His on-field vomiting has resolved
itself, in part perhaps because he’s found a more effective way to calm his nerves. Second, he spends this time
scoping out the opposition. His legs move slowly, but his eyes jump from player to player, assessing his opponents’
strengths, weaknesses and tactics.
In football matches, Mellionix relies more on the preparation phase. In the classic match between Barcelona
and Real Madrid, Mellionix only ran for four minutes, while for over eighty minutes he was walking. However,
when he engaged in the game, he was active, creating nine opportunities, scoring a goal, and assisting his teammate
to score another goal.
That pattern isn’t unusual for Mellionix and it’s often in big games that he lays great stress on his in-game
preparation. That preparation also explains his ability to find himself in the right place at the right time, over and
over. Though his positional play appears supernatural, it’s actually that he’s learned, minute by minute, that a
particular defender leaves a particular square of pitch (球场) uncovered or that two midfielders leave a small corner
of the pitch open when they run to the middle of the field.
The lesson for us is clear: When you’re anxious, whether in athletics or in life more broadly, pause, and
prepare.
28. What does Mellionix usually do at the beginning of a game?
A. He doesn’t playin the game.
B. He takes a walk around the field.
C. He encourages his teammates.
D. He takes an active part in the game.
29. Which of the following can replace “scoping out” underlined in paragraph 5?
A. Following.
B. Observing.
C. Thinking about.
D. Getting used to.
30. According to the text when does Mellionix do his preparation for a soccer game?
A. After the game begins.
B. Before the game begins.
C. When he feels anxious.
D. When he lacks confidence.
31. What does Mellionix’s supernatural positional play indicate in paragraph 7?
A. The time to pause.
B. A chance to score a goal.
C. The time to enter the game.
D. The ability to overcome anxiety.

Growing up in Cyprus, Elena felt she was different from other girls — she was interested in biology. But it was a
family tragedy that helped shape her determination to major in medicine. “My parents lost their first child because
he had Down’s syndrome. He passed away when I was about seven years old,” she says. “And I guess that’s always
been playing on my mind and I gradually formed the idea of studying medicine.”
At about 14, she set her sights on studying medicine in the UK. “Despite being a student from a foreign country,
I achieved A-levels in all my subjects, considered suitable for medicine,” she says. Now as a consultant surgeon at
one of the busiest major trauma （创伤）units in England, Elena has spoken of her successful career and the
challenges she has encountered as a female doctor including sometimes having to remind patients suspicious of her
that “I am the surgeon”.
Elena’ s main job is working with the major trauma team, but is also involved in the team dealing with patients
that have severe surgical issues. “When I’m a consultant, I have a position of responsibility not only towards my
patients, but also towards the team that I cooperate with,” she says. Working hard, she has never experienced
prejudice from other male surgeons, who show great respect for her.
Elena does not shy away from the fact that being a woman has sometimes felt like a disadvantage. “Find what
you love doing day after day, because your professional career is a long time, and it takes a lot— probably like 20
or 30 years of your life. Therefore, it’s of great significance to do what you are fond of and then just go for it,” she
says.
24. What inspired Elena to pursue a career in medicine?

Hearing the speeding cars passing us, I had to focus on the sound of my uncle’s bicycle leading the way. At
thirty, with my retinas（视网膜）dying from an eye disease, driving a car was impossible and I couldn’t give up
the freedom of riding my bike.
Uncle Fred pedalled steadily. I biked a few inches behind. He shouted directions at each intersection.
Suddenly, his voice rose with urgency, “Carol, stop! A car is turning.”
When we reached our destination, my shoulders ached from the ride. As I sat next to Uncle Fred, he cleared
his throat and said, “Carol, did you think about getting a trained Seeing Eye dog? It can give you independence.”
He knew I was afraid of dogs. Words stuck in my throat. But his voice cracked and planted the seed of an idea. My
world shrunk as my blindness grew worse. Luckily, I had a good sense of direction, allowing me to visualize
neighborhood routes. This skill could be an advantage when working with a dog.
After calculating, I finally called the guide dog school. The admission application arrived, but I still wasn’t
sure. One day, I phoned my friend Robert, a longtime guide dog user in my town. He shared his positive
experiences. Somehow, his words convinced me to give it a try.
During the training, the dog trainer’s coaching and each successful walk with the dogs built my confidence. As
my guide dog Misty and I bonded, my shoulders relaxed. When I returned home, Uncle Fred was the first to meet
Misty. Misty sat at our feet waving her tail. She must have picked up on the positive energy that circled us like a
hug. Misty drove away my anxiety as I slowly opened my heart to her. Just as Uncle Fred had predicted,
overcoming my fear gave me the opportunity for more independence. My new confidence came from using a guide
dog, allowing me to walk tall. Uncle Fred’s advice moved my sense of joy from my bike to my dog.
21．What drove the author to ride a bike?

I recently watched the Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary on Netflix, and I have to tell you how impressed I
was with his life story.
I remember back in high school when Clara and I were the only two girls in the gym working out and lifting
weights. Yes, this was back in the dinosaur days when girls didn’t go to the gym. There were all these posters about
Arnold. He was the bodybuilder of the day. He won the Mr. Universe title aged 20, and then the Mr. Olympia title
seven times. He was a hero to so many of us gym rats.
But he is so much more than that. He is an Austrian and American actor, a businessman, a filmmaker, a
politician(政治家), and a retired professional bodybuilder. Most people know him for his action movies, like The
Terminator. In case you didn’t know, he also served as the 38th governor(州长) of California from 2003 to 2011,
and was among Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world in 2004 and 2007.
But what touched me was his determination to get where he is today. He had a dream, and he went after it. He
came from a small town on the other side of the world. They said he couldn’t make it in body building, but he went
on to be one of the world’s most famous bodybuilders. They said he would never be an actor because of his
accent(口音), but in spite of that, he became box office gold. They said it was impossible for him to become a
governor, but he showed them, winning not one but two terms in office and making some world changes while in
there.
I love stories like these. It gives us hope that we can do anything as long as we set our minds to it. The lesson
here is to never give up, to hold onto your dream no matter how crazy others may think it is.

On Oct. 9, the economist Claudia Goldin was doing what most people do at 5 am: sleeping. But then the phone
rang, and her life changed. That day, she became the third woman ever to win the Nobel prize in economics — and
the first woman to win it on her own.
Goldin, 77, has dedicated herself to studying women and work. Over the course of her career, she has
published foundational research on the ways women balance career with family and the gender wage gap. All of
this has made her the world’s leading expert on how the workforce has changed women’s life and how women’s
participation has changed the workforce.
Goldin’s work started with an observation on who was being left out of the conversation about families and
labor. “We would talk about the children and the male head of the household. We would talk about single women
who were working or widowed,” she says. “But we hardly talked about the married woman — the wife, the mother
— and I realized that her story was unfolding through the 20th century, and it was a story that dug deep into the
history.”
For all of her achievements in economics, Goldin confesses that when she was growing up in the 1950s, she
didn’t picture herself in the field — in fact, she says, “I don’t think I knew what an economist was.” It was science
that drew her in — specifically the experience of observing bacteria through a microscope in high school. But, once

Growing up on the Guanzhong Plain, He Jing didn’t start mountaineering until 18. Her first climb, in 2006,
was in the Qinling Mountains, and it sparked a passion for the sport.
In 2012, feeling sad for the loss of her grandmother, He attempted her first mountain over 5,000 meters —
Mount Siguniang in Sichuan province. The experience provided her with a sense of peace and relief. “As I
approached the summit (顶峰) and saw the rosy light on the snow, I found peace and a release from my inner
confusion,” she recalled.
Since then, He has been devoted to climbing high-altitude peaks. She summited her first 8,000-meter peak,
Mount Cho Oyu, in 2016, using just one bottle of oxygen. Realizing she could handle the extreme altitude (海拔),
she decided to attempt future climbs without oxygen, a move partly motivated by cost savings. Climbing without
oxygen carries significant risks due to the thin atmosphere at high altitudes. To prepare, He trained strictly, running
at least five times a week, climbing 200 flights of stairs with a 20-kilogram load twice weekly, and using an
oxygen-restricting mask to simulate high-altitude conditions.
“At altitudes above 8,000 meters, the human brain experiences extreme lack of oxygen, and the body becomes
sleepy. I kept telling myself not to fall asleep, as I might never wake up again,” she said. Her first successful
summit without bottled oxygen came on Sept. 25, 2017, when she reached the top of Mount Manaslu in Nepal.
On Oct. 9 this year, she reached the summit of the 8,027-meter Mount Shishapangma in China’s Xizang
autonomous region, becoming the first person from China and the third woman in the world to scale all 14 of the
world’s peaks over 8,000 meters without the use of additional oxygen.
24. What motivated He to attempt her climbing in 2012?
A. Her enthusiasm for climbing.
B. Her desire to challenge herself.
C. Her sorrow for losing her grandmother.
D. Her determination to handle the extreme altitude.
25. How did He prepare herself for climbing without additional oxygen?
A. By running four or five times a week.
B. By training in high-altitude conditions.
C. By climbing stairs with loads regularly.
D. By wearing a mask with adequate oxygen.
26. Which of the following words best describe He?
A Energetic and sociable.
B. Determined and passionate.
C. Demanding and humble.
D. Strong-willed and friendly.
27. What does He’s experience tell us?
