[2025 河南模拟改编] ①Does life sometimes seem to be full of impossible problems? How many times, for example, do you find yourself saying things like “I really don’t understand this maths problem” or “I can’t get into the school team”? Well, maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of “yet”. By adding this simple word, you can change everything. “I really don’t understand this maths problem yet.” “I can’t get into the school team yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. You can imagine those things happening.
②I read about a school that has changed the way it marks its students’ exams. The school find out that the old pass/fail system wasn’t helping students’ motivation(积极性). If you passed, then great, but those students who didn’t pass often felt like failures. So now students who don’t pass the exams will not see a big red F on their papers; they see a “Not yet” instead. That way the students feel that they are on a journey. They just haven’t reached the end, but they know that they are going the right way.
③This kind of thinking is part of what experts call “having a growth mindset”. People with a growth mindset don’t pay much attention to failure. They aren’t worried by not getting things right the first time and are happy to keep trying until they do. They enjoy challenges and believe they can change. On the other hand, people who just focus on the failure have what the experts call “a fixed mindset”. These people are always worried about failure and are happy to give up when things don’t go right. They don’t think that they are able to change. Clearly, it is better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset.
④But don’t worry if you think that you have a fixed mindset. ▲. Stop believing that you can’t or that you haven’t and realise that you just can’t or haven’t yet. Once you start doing this, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it before. It’s one small but very powerful word.

答案
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了“yet”一词的影响力，并通过分析成长型思维和固定型思维来说明“yet”的影响力。
长难句解读
On the other hand, people (who just focus on the failure) have
主语 who引导的定语从句
(what the experts call) “a fixed mindset”.
what引导的定语从句
而那些只关注失败的人拥有专家所称的“固定型思维”。
1.C 写作手法题。文章第一段通过两个问题引出话题，故作者是通过提问题的方式展开文章的，故选C。
2.D 推理判断题。第一段引出话题，有时候生活中似乎充满了各种不可能的问题，但是如果加个“yet”，情况就会改变，不可能就会变成可能。第二段举了一所学校改变考试评分系统的例子，这所学校将“不及格”改为“暂未及格”，让学生觉得自己还未到达终点，但方向是正确的，这能激发学生的积极性。因此第二段的例子是为了给话题提供支持。故答案为D。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知，拥有成长型思维的人不会只关注失败，也不担心第一次没把事情做好，他们乐意尝试，直到成功。由此可推知，“David在比赛中失败了，但是他保持自信，继续尝试”是拥有成长型思维的表现。故选B。
4.D 信息还原题。最后一段中的“Stop believing that... and realise that you just can’t or haven’t yet”说明，拥有固定型思维的人作出改变的方法是加上“yet”这个词。文章最后一句“It’s one small but very powerful word”也强调了“yet”这个小词的强大作用。故D项“通过添加一个小小的词‘yet’，你就能改变一切”符合语境。
5.A 标题归纳题。通读全文，特别是第一段中的“maybe it’s time to introduce yourself to the power of ‘yet’. By adding this simple word, you can change everything”和最后一段中的“It’s one small but very powerful word”可知，本文主要讲的是“yet”一词的影响力，故A项最适合作为本文的标题。
