It's a saying that perhaps best describes Charles Leclerc's pursuit of a F1 world championship, Season after season, the Ferrari driver has come close to realizing his childhood dream but has yet to cross the line But ask him again what his goal is for the 2025 season, and you won't find anything (72) ."My goal is to be world champion." he says. "That's my only dream and the only 5 王 thing I'm working for." And that's not without (73) _, as he was the top scorer in the second half of the 2024 season The competition will be even tougher this year, though. Max Verstappen will try to win a fifth title even though his Red Bull was not the fastest last year. Lando Norris is also widely predicted to be a big challenger. (74) Leclerc wins, it will be a fight to the death. And the 27-year-old is all too (75) that to beat the best, you must be the best "I'm iust focusing on being the best version of myself." he says. "I'm trying to be as ready as possible every time I get on the track." Still, 2024 might end up being Leclerc's best season in Fl, as he won three races, the most for him in a single season. One of them, at his home race in Monaco, was even more special. In 20l7, Leclerc, then an F2 driver, told his dying father a white lie that he'd made it into F1. It wasn't true then, but look how far he has come. The grandstands (大看台) be had watched being built as a (76) _效 have risen for him.

Leclerc (77) )0 the seven-time world champ:on's arrival offers him a great opportunity to learn. "His experience, his way of working and his talents -I've got a lot to learn from Lewis," says Leclerc. So, will his dream come true, soon?

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words: 28% If your family has a bunch ot shiny gold、jeweiry, bars or coins, then you might be rich oecause the yalue of gold has (78)r o: eo. by almost 5o% in the last three years. At the end of February, gold was still hitting new recordsabove $2, 8oo an ounce (盎可).) Gold is still an tmportant resource today, but for several hundred years, it was (79) d linked to money. Here's how it worked Let's imagine two neighboring countries, Country A and Country B. Country A could buy food from Country B with its own money One day, Country A thought, "Why not just prin more money? This way we can buy a lot more food from our neighbor, almost at the cost of (80)n y" But after Country B found out about this trick. it thought that was totally unfair. Therefere, it came up with a plan: Country. A could only buy food using its own money ift had enough gold coins to back it up This rule (81) p vw: ta country A from creating too much monev oottrrm This is roughly how the (82) 1'.f between gold and money started. It created trus between nations because the value ot goods could be fixed all around the world. People named this system the"gold standard (金本位)". Over time, however, the problems of the gold standard system were discovered and exploited (利用) by many countries. During World War I. the system (83) f and countries stopped using it. But it doesn't mean that gold has lost its value : 一Gold prices have been mostly on a rise in recent years because people have been buying gold to protect their wealth. Direct reasons for this include when more money enters the market, it causes inflation (通货膨胀) Other reasons, such as economJc uncertainty、 can also play a (84) r . All of these things lead to people looking for a way to protect their assets(资产) B篇 At the end of 2024, an airplane crashed at an airport in South Korea. Just two of the 181 people on board survived. It is the worst plane crash in the country's history. While the exact cause of the tragedy is still unclear, it's possible a bird strike could be responsible. A bird strike is a collision (相撞) between a bird and an airplane. It's actually very (85) c.. In the U.S., more than 19.6oo wildlife strikes were reported in 2023. Most of them involved birds. And there were over 1.4oo bird strikes in the U.K. in 2022 But generally there's no necd to worry, Most bird strikes don't result ini deaths or serious injuries. Planes go through (86) s十 tests during mamfachring (制造). This means they are usually able to withstand (承受) bird strikes and will continue to (87) o after a collision. In very few cases, engines may malfunction(失灵) when birds are sucked into them. However, pilots often have time to make an emergency landing. Issues can arise. bowever, when larger birds collide with a plane. For example, a Canada goose can wcigh up to 14 pounds. At high speeds, it's like a bowling ball colliding with a window. "That kind of (88) dzmas gets expensive," said Shawn Pruchnicki. Mr. Pruchnicki was a pilot and now teaches aviation safety at Ohio State University. “Once landed, that airplane may remain out of (89)s. for weeks. It needs to receive expensive repairs. For example, a broken cockpit window can easily cost up to $90,000 to repair. A broken wing? Maybe half a million dollars," Pruchnicki said. "An airplane that's in maintenance isn't making money, right? It often takes weeks to finish. That's a huge problem for airlines." he added Many airports are built near waterwavs and landfills (垃圾填埋场), Pruchnicki notes Bird activities are frequent in these (9o) a yee . Unavoidably, this leads to collisions between nature and planes."We're kind of izrvading (侵入) their space," he said. According to the International Cvil Aviation Organization(国际民用航空组织). 90% of bird strikes happen near airports. The timing is usually when planes are taking off, landing or flying at lower altitudes Airports worldwide have tried many different ways to (91) k _ birds and othet animals away. They've achieved some success, but more efforts are needed. "In the end," said Pruchnicki. "we need to figure out how we can coexist D. Answer the questions: 12%(第92题1分,第97题3分) Helen did not have a big ward (院子). She only had a small one with a tiny piece of grass It was only just enough for her little dog to play on. She really wanted a garden, but did not have space. What could she do? At first, she tried to keep a few plants in pots in the yard. But they took up space and there was hardly any room left. So, she made three flower boxes with rope to put plants in She hung them on her window and the flowers grew beautifully. Though the second way worked, she still wanted more Then she finally got an idea: if she couldn't build out, why not build up? She could try vertical (垂直的) gardening. She had wooden fences all around her yard, so if she could fix some pots on the fence, she could make full use of that space and build her vertical garden She went to the building store and got some materials. But it was hard to find the perfect pots. Instead of feeling discouraged, Helen was still full of hope. She thought hard and looked around to find some new ideas. Then she saw her old rain gutters (排水). Rain gutters could hold water, so why not plants? She decided to give them a try. Back at home, she fixed the boards to her fence for supporting the gutters. Then she filled them with fresh soil and planted three long rows of vegetables A few days later, there were new leaves. Weeks later, she was harvesting vegetables tc eat. Best of all, her dog, Skippy, still had room to run and play. The vertical garden was her dream garden! A perfect solution is never something we can buy or get easily. We have to and 92.
