(丘吉尔以熟记演讲而闻名，并在浴缸里反复练习演讲。其中一些是为了克服他的口吃，但主要是为了让语气恰到好处。没有什么是即兴的)”可知，作者在文章中通过列举多个例子来支持他的观点，如Perseverance火星探测器着陆前的详尽准备，以及丘吉尔对演讲的精心准备等。故选A项。【14题详析】推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“ButeventhoughAIcanansweralmostanyquestionyouthrowatit,itisworthlessinanelevatorwhenyourbossasksyouwhatyouthinkaboutnewproductideasorsalesprospectsinOmaha.(但是，尽管人工智能几乎可以回答你提出的任何问题，但当你的老板问你对奥马哈的新产品创意或销售前景有何看法时，它在电梯里毫无价值)”可知，在实际的工作场景中，如电梯里老板询问你对新产品想法或销售前景的看法时，AI是无能为力的。这实际上是在突出准备和人的能力的重要性，即准备可以让你在需要时表现得比AI更好。故选B项。【15题详析】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“Butaswehaveprogressedintothe21stcentury,Ithinkweshouldupdatethesaying:“Successis1%inspirationand99%preparation.”(但随着我们进入21世纪，我认为我们应该更新这句话：“成功是1%的灵感和99%的准备。”)”以及最后一段中的“Theonlyanswercomesfromthat99%preparation.(唯一的〖答案〗来自99%的准备)”和“Preparationwillmakeyousupergreat.(准备会让你变得超级棒)”可知，作者认为成功不仅仅是靠灵感，更重要的是准备，整篇文章主要围绕“准备”这一主题展开，通过多个例子和论述来强调准备对于成功的重要性。故选D项。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。Therearedifferentwaystolearnandgrow,butalloftheminvolvegettingfeedbackabouthowyouaredoing.___16___Butwhetheritispositiveornegative,itcanbringalotofvaluetoyourpersonaldevelopment.Whyaskforfeedback?Becauseitistheonlywayyoucanseeyourselfthroughanotherperson’seyes.Youcanlookatyourownworkandskillsbutnotseethetruth.Sometimes,it’sbecauseyougetusedtodevaluingwhatyoudo.Atothertimes,it’sbecauseyouoverestimateyourownability.___17___Hereishowyoucanmakethisaregularpartofyourlife.Youshouldaskotherpeoplewhattheythinkandhowtheyseeyou.___18___However,makingahabitofittakesthestingoutoftheexperienceandallowsyoutofocusonwhattrulymatters.___19___Youdon’havetofocusonlyonthebadthingsorwhatisnotworking.Youalsoneedtohearwhatisgoingwell.Whatisworkingisasimportantaswhatisnot.Don’tbeafraidtoaskforpositivefeedback,either.Thereareacoupleofthingsyoucandotoensureyouaregettingauthenticfeedback.First,approachpeoplewhentheyarewillingtotalktoyou.___20___Second,don’tgetangry.Whenyouaskforfeedback,youmighthearunpleasantthings.Theymayberidiculousorhurtful,butthat’sfine.Thankthepersonanddecidewhetherthefeedbackisusefulornot.A.Telldifferentkindsoffeedbackapart.B.Hearingaboutyourselfmaycausesomeanxiety.C.Besuretorequestpositiveandnegativefeedback.D.Eitherway,feedbackisofgreatsignificancetoyourgrowth.E.Butyoucan’tcontrolwhatfeedbackotherschoosetogiveyou.F.Don’t,forexample,disturbthemwhentheyarerushingorhavealotofstress.G.Thiscanbescarybecauseotherswillnotjustsaynicethingsorwhatyouwanttohear.〖答案〗16.B17.D18.G19.C20.F【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述的是寻求反馈的重要性以及如何有效地将其融入个人成长和生活中。【16题详析】空前“Therearedifferentwaystolearnandgrow,butalloftheminvolvegettingfeedbackabouthowyouaredoing.(学习和成长的方式有很多，但所有的方式都涉及到获得关于你做得如何的反馈。)”说明了对自己做得如何的反馈是学习和成长的方式，空后“Butwhetheritispositiveornegative,itcanbringalotofvaluetoyourpersonaldevelopment.(但无论是积极的还是消极的，它都能给你的个人发展带来很多价值。)”中的but表转折，说明无论是积极的还是消极的反馈，它都可以给你的个人发展带来很多价值，因此空格处应该说反馈会给人带来不好的感觉，B选项“Hearingaboutyourselfmaycausesomeanxiety.(听到关于你自己的事情可能会引起一些焦虑。)”说明听到关于自己的反馈会引起焦虑，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选B。【17题详析】空前“Whyaskforfeedback?Becauseitistheonlywayyoucanseeyourselfthroughanotherperson’seyes.Youcanlookatyourownworkandskillsbutnotseethetruth.Sometimes,it’sbecauseyougetusedtodevaluingwhatyoudo.Atothertimes,it’sbecauseyouoverestimateyourownability.(为什么要寻求反馈？因为只有这样，你才能通过别人的眼睛看到自己。你可以看到自己的工作和技能，但看不到真相。有时候，是因为你习惯了贬低自己的价值。有时候，这是因为你高估了自己的能力。)”说明的是要获得反馈的原因，D选项“Eitherway,feedbackisofgreatsignificancetoyourgrowth.(无论哪种方式，反馈对你的成长都非常重要。)”说明了要寻求反馈是因为反馈对成长很重要，这就是为什么要获得反馈，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选D。【18题详析】空前“Youshouldaskotherpeoplewhattheythinkandhowtheyseeyou.(你应该问问别人对你的看法和他们如何看待你。)”说明了你应该问别人对自己的看法，空格处应该对这一做法进行评论，结合空后的“However,makingahabitofittakesthestingoutoftheexperienceandallowsyoutofocusonwhattrulymatters.(然而，养成这样的习惯可以让你从痛苦中解脱出来，让你专注于真正重要的事情。)”可知，此空讲述的内容与空后的内容为转折关系，G选项“Thiscanbescarybecauseotherswillnotjustsaynicethingsorwhatyouwanttohear.(这可能是可怕的，因为其他人不会只说好话或你想听的话。)”说明问别人对自己的看法可能是可怕的，是对空前做法的评论，因此承接上文，且与空后的内容为转折关系，符合逻辑。故选G。【19题详析】空格处是本段主题句，空后“Youdon’havetofocusonlyonthebadthingsorwhatisnotworking.Youalsoneedtohearwhatisgoingwell.(你不必只关注不好的事情。你还需要了解进展顺利的地方。)”说明了既要关注不好的方面，也要关注好的方面，C选项“Besuretorequestpositiveandnegativefeedback.(一定要要求积极和消极的反馈。)”说明了要寻求积极的和消极的反馈，概括了本段内容，可作为本段主题句，故选C。【20题详析】空前“First,approachpeoplewhentheyarewillingtotalktoyou.(首先，在人们愿意和你说话的时候接近他们。)”说明了在人们愿意和你说话的时候接触对方，空格处应该说在得到他人反馈时的正确做法，F选项“Don’t,forexample,disturbthemwhentheyarerushingorhavealotofstress.(例如，当他们赶时间或有很大压力时，不要打扰他们。)”说明了当别人赶时间时不要打扰他们，是获得反馈的正确做法，因此承接上文，符合语境。故选F。第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。My5-year-olddaughterKaiwalkedaroundabusstopinFinland,pickingupcandywrappersandplasticbottlesandputtingtheminthewastebin.Wewerevisitingfamily,andhereshewas,21thesidewalk.Itdidn’t22methatshewoulddothat.OurprojectbeganwhenKai23adeflated(泄了气的)ballooninanemptyfield.Wehadrecentlyreadabouthowanimalscan24balloonsforfood.“Stop,”Kaisaid,andI25.Aswepickeduptheballoon,wecouldseethewholefieldwascoveredintrash.“Canwecleanit?”Kaiasked.EachFriday,wepickedupbeercansandcardboardboxes,Styrofoamcontainers,andplasticwaterbottles.Afterwe26twobags,westoppedfortheday.Thenextweek,wecleanedthesame30feetandretur
