B The owner of a business is hoping to help save lives by offering adaptive swim lessons to children and adults with disabilities. The classes are taught by Julie Cordiero and her staff at Jr’s Swim School. Cordiero says she came up with the idea when she saw a specific need while teaching swim lessons at another school in 2017. “The number one cause of accidental death among kids with autism (自闭症) is drowning (溺水), and in Arizona, there are pools everywhere.” said Cordiero. “Autistic children are easily attracted to large bodies of water. so they might not have safety skills when they want to jump into a body of water.” Cordiero added Cordiero’s classes teach survival skills, balance and strength to children with special needs in a personalized way. “We see a lot of different sensory levels and needs at our swim school and our staff really does have the training strategies to work through those appropriately,” said Cordiero. Cordiero also has regular meetings with students’ families, and after each meeting. Cordiero will adapt each swim lesson to help set each student up for success. Ann Snyder says her son James is nonverbal (不会说话的) and has loved the water now more than ever since he started taking classes at Jr’s Swim School. Aimee Craumer, whose 11-year-old daughter Macayla takes classes, says safety boundaries are taught repeatedly and that gives their family peace of mind. Instructors at Jr’s Swim School are devoted to helping those with disabilities become more confident in the water, and they use nontraditional teaching methods to help students overcome the most common barriers they see during swim lessons. “We want to create something that is unique and really suits a population that is just as worthy of learning a lifesaving skill as the rest of the population. A lot of passion and patience goes into what we do but we are making a huge difference and that is a good feeling,” said Cordiero. 24. What issue does Cordiero aim to address through adaptive swim lessons? A. Anxiety related to water B. Lack of interest in swimming C. Drowning risks for disabled people. D. Inaccessibility of swimming facilities. 25. What does Jr’s Swim School’s way of teaching stress? A. Students’ physical fitness B. Students’ competitive skills C. Individuals’ family conditions. D. Individuals’ personalized demands. 26. How might students’ parents feel about their children’s participating in the classes? A. Relieved and satisfied. B. Proud but concerned. C. Surprised and regretful. D. Pleased but doubtful 27. What can be learned about Jr’s Swim School from the last paragraph? A. It highlights students’ own passion. B. It values the openness in teaching. C. It teaches students to pass on kindness. D. It encourages children to become athletes C It’s too early to name any activity The Sport of 2025, but if you asked me to do it today, I would give the title to Hyrox, which is an individual but interactive activity. Fitness fans run eight kilometres and stop after each to perform exercises such as sled pushes or burpees. The faster you complete the course, the higher your score is in the Hyrox worldwide rankings. Many surveys indicate that people are exercising more now than in previous years. It’s individual fitness pursuits that are driving the rise. I spent the first half of my 29-year-old life as a hockey player and the second as a distance runner. I long for the common goal of team sports, but I also value the responsibility and clear results that come from working toward my own running targets. So it’s odd to me that people prefer individual fitness pursuits to team sports. One common explanation is that organized sports haven’t bounced back since the pandemic (疫情) a few years ago. When people learned to exercise with less money, equipment, space, time and organization, they kept individual activities. Meanwhile, there are now fitness apps for users to tailor works based on their heart rates and sleep quality. The rise of wearables has also got some of us addicted to our own exercise routines. However, an obvious problem for individual sports is loneliness. Engaging in team sports is a proven way to ease it, which boosts our ability to interact and form meaningful relationships. Well, Hyrox is a combined activity: an individual sport that we do with others. Each competition follows the same scoring system, which allows people to compare their results with others around the world. It’s the type that’s come to dominate the fitness world. And, according to Guy Faulkner, a professor at the University of British Columbia, if it gets people out of the door, then it’s a good one. “The most effective form of sport,” he said, “is the form you will sustain.” 28. What is the key feature of Hyrox? A. It requires teamwork and shared plans. B. It is organized to find sports partners. C. It skips physical challenges for leisure. D. It is self-paced but ranked with others. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Negative effects of the pandemic. B. Methods of choosing wearables. C Reasons for the shift to individual fitness. D. Tailored workouts with fitness apps. 30. How does Hyrox address the problem with individual sports? A. By targeting people afraid of public interactions. B. By connecting individuals with shared experiences. C. By prioritizing personal achievements over group goals. D. By offering a kind of treatment for mental health issues. 31. What does Guy Faulkner consider the most effective sport? A. Sport that requires the least effort. B. Sport that involves more people. C. Sport that one will do consistently. D. Sport that provides the quickest results. D Oil leaks at sea create risks to sea life and people, and attempts to remove that oil tend to be challenging and costly and often fail to achieve desired outcomes. But scientists in China have found a new way to clean up that sticky pollution: cork (软木). Past research has shown that cork could collect oil, but the process is too slow to seem promising, the problem of which is that oil is highly sticky, or thick. But oil gets thinner when it warms up, allowing it to more easily get into cork or stick to cork’s surface. Yuchun He, leader of the research team, said they had been using lasers (激光) to carve patterns into wood, but they’d never tried carving cork before. When they did that, they found something unexpected: The cork darkened, suggesting it might be photothermal, which might allow the cork to be warmed up in light. And scientists assumed that tiny holes created by the laser might help the cork store more heat, the warmth of which can attenuate nearby oil, making it easier for the cork to adsorb (吸附) oil. The treated cork is an example of something that is adsorbent, which can clean up a leak because the oil now sticks to its surface. Using cork materials as adsorbents can better separate oil and water, allowing people to recover some of the oil so that it can be used. Oil leaks can kill sea life, and today, to clean up a leak, sailors often remove oil from the water’s surface as they apply some harmful chemicals that aim to break down the oil. The tests took place in a lab, so cork cleanup will need to be tested at sea to see if it works in real-world conditions. “After cork is harvested from a tree, it grows back in about 10 years. So far, no one has tested whether it can be reused. To my knowledge, there are almost no truly reusable oil-adsorbing materials. But even if cork isn’t either, it may still offer a preferred way to clean oil from the environment,” He said. 32. What prevented cork from being used for oil leaks? A. Its unsteady state. B. Its low effectiveness. C. Its limited accessibility. D. Its environmental impact. 33. What does the underlined word “attenuate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Thin down. B. Gather up. C. Bring out. D. Mix with. 34. What can be learned about the laser-treated cork? A. It saves labor costs. B. It poses radiation threats. C. It offers a greener choice. D. It has high economic value. 35 What does He imply about cork through his words? A. It is highly productive. B. It is theoretically reusable C. It holds promise in oil cleaning. D. It needs improvement for future use. 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。 How to Stop Being Self Centered If you’re worried about being a self-centered person, that concern shows you’ve already taken an important step towards change. ____36____ So if you need more guidance on this journey, we can help. Here are a useful list of simple things you can try. Share the spotlight Praising others more often doesn’t reduce your own light.

Set in the sun crisis with Earth on the brink of destruction, the film shows how humans try to build thousands of earth engines to save the Earth. The film powerfully echoes Martin Luther King’s words: “We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.” Facing the common threat, conflicts give way to cooperation, highlighting the strength of global unity. After all, no single hero can shoulder the weight of saving the Earth alone In my eyes, the movie serves as a wake-up call, inspiring joint efforts for a sustainable future. All things considered, the Wandering Earth II must be one of the most splendid films ever made 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
