Is your friend lazy? Actually, this is just what the world looks like in their eyes. Scientists from Colorado State University show that being overweight distorts perception (扭曲知觉). They think distances are farther away than they actually are. In one study, scientists asked 66 people of different weights and sizes to say how far away a traffic cone (交通围标) was. In fact, the cone was 25m away. Those who were about 57kg thought it was just 15m from them, but those who weighed about 146kg saw it as being 30m away. So far from being crazy. Overweight people simply see the world differently when thinking about exercise. The heavy weight can feel like a load (装载物) to carry. “If you find yourself out hiking with a heavy backpack, hills are going to seem steeper, distances are going to look farther, and a gap across a river is going to look bigger.” Jessica Witt from Colorado State University told the Guardian. It’s this idea that if you have to make more of an effort to climb that hill because you are carrying this heavy backpack, the hill is going to look more challenging (有挑战性的). “You are not seeing that hill as it is. You are seeing the world through your ability to act. You have less ability because you are having to carry this backpack.” Witt said. Sometimes the steepest hills exist in the mind before the feet ever feel them. 31. Why might an overweight hiker see a hill as steeper than it really is? A. Because they don’t want to exercise. B. Because they need glasses. C. Because they’re not good at hiking. D. Because their body makes challenges seem bigger. 32. From the third paragraph we can know that ________. A. heavier people guessed distances more correctly B. everyone saw the cone at the same distance C. people’s weight affected (影响) how far they thought the cone was D. people who were about 57kg thought the traffic cone was just 30m from them 33. Jessica Witt compared carrying extra body weight to ________. A. hiking with a heavy backpack B. going uphill on a bicycle C. wearing uncomfortable shoes D. walking in bad weather 34. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A. Everyone sees the world the same way. B. People see things based on (基于) what they can easily do. C. Only strong people see things correctly. D. Your eyes change when you exercise. 35. The writer’s main purpose in writing this passage is to tell ________. A. hiking is harder for overweight people B. the importance of being the right weight and size C. everyone should lose weight D. we should understand that people experience challenges differently 【答案】31. D 32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了超重的人眼中的世界是不同的，并介绍了原因。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If you are hiking with a friend who is overweight, you may hear them say that the hills look steeper (更陡峭的) and the distances look farther away than what they really are. Is your friend lazy? Actually, this is just what the world looks like in their eyes.”可知，一个超重的徒步旅行者会看到一座比实际更陡的山是因为他们的身体让挑战看起来更大。故选D。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In fact, the cone was 25m away. Those who were about 57kg thought it was just 15m from them, but those who weighed about 146kg saw it as being 30m away.”可知，人们的体重会影响他们认为交通围标有多远。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If you find yourself out hiking with a heavy backpack, hills are going to seem steeper, distances are going to look farther, and a gap across a river is going to look bigger.”可知，杰西卡·威特将携带额外的体重比作背着沉重的背包徒步旅行。故选A。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“You are not seeing that hill as it is. You are seeing the world through your ability to act. You have less ability because you are having to carry this backpack.”可知，人们根据他们能轻易做的事情来看待事物，B选项符合。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了超重的人眼中的世界是不同的以及原因，告诉我们：人们经历挑战的方式不同。故选D。 C Marilla was angry. Anne lost the brooch and didn’t feel guilty. “Anne, this is terrible,” Marilla said. “You are very naughty.” “Yes. I know I have to be punished,” agreed Anne calmly. “Please do it now. I want to go to the picnic without guilt.” “You are not going to the picnic. That is your punishment.” “What?” Anne stood suddenly. “Oh, Marilla, that was why I confessed. Any punishment except that. Oh, Marilla, please, can I go to the picnic? Please.” “You are not going to the picnic.” Anne threw her body on the bed and cried. Marilla left the room quickly. “Oh dear, Mrs Rachel Lynde was right. But I began this work with Anne. I must continue.” At lunch-time Marilla called Anne. “Come and have lunch, Anne.” “I can’t eat anything,” said Anne. “My heart is broken.” Marilla was very annoyed. She spoke to Matthew. “Well, she wasn’t right taking the brooch. And telling lies was bad,” said Matthew. “But she’s so young. I think she needs to go to that picnic.” “Matthew, I think I was too easy with her. And she doesn’t understand that she was naughty. You’re defending her.” Matthew was quiet. He didn’t agree with Marilla. After lunch Marilla remembered she had to repair her shawl. The shawl was in a box on the table in her room. Marilla lifted it. It seemed that something was attached to the shawl. It glittered. It was the amethyst brooch. “Oh dear,” said Marilla, “Here’s my brooch. But Anne said she took it and lost it.” Marilla went to Anne’s bedroom with the brooch. “Anne,” said Marilla. “I found my brooch attached to my shawl. Why did you invent that story this morning?” —Adapted from Anne of Green Gables 36. Why was Marilla angry with Anne at first? A. Anne broke the brooch and didn’t seem to feel guilty about it. B. Anne lost the brooch and didn’t seem to feel bad about it. C. Anne didn’t want to go to the picnic. D. Anne refused to be punished. 37. What was Marilla’s punishment for Anne? A. She made Anne do a lot of housework. B. She asked Anne to find the brooch. C. She didn’t allow Anne to go to the picnic. D. She didn’t let Anne have lunch. 38. Matthew thought Anne should go to the picnic because ________. A. he thought Anne was too young to be punished seriously. B. he knew Anne didn’t really take the brooch. C. he wanted Anne to be happy. D. he didn’t like Marilla’s way of punishing Anne. 39. According to the passage, we can infer Anne invented that story in the morning to ________. A. get attention from Marilla B. tell the truth to Marilla C. make Marilla become happy D. avoid missing the picnic 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. A 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文，本文来自《绿山墙的安妮》的改编，主要讲述了Marilla因为Anne丢失了胸针而生气，Anne承认了但似乎不内疚。Marilla惩罚Anne不能去野餐，Anne非常伤心，后来Marilla发现胸针其实在她的披肩上，Anne编造了故事。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Marilla was angry. Anne lost the brooch and didn’t feel guilty.”可知，Marilla一开始生气是因为Anne弄丢了胸针且看起来对此并不愧疚。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You are not going to the picnic. That is your punishment.”可知，Marilla对Anne的惩罚是不允许她去野餐。故选C。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“‘Well, she wasn’t right taking the brooch. And telling lies was bad,’ said Matthew. ‘But she’s so young. I think she needs to go to that picnic.’”可知，Matthew认为Anne应该去野餐是因为他觉得Anne年纪太小，不应该受到严厉的惩罚。故选A。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据Anne表述“Yes. I know I have to be punished”“Please do it now. I want to go to the picnic without guilt”以及得知不能去野餐后的反应“Oh, Marilla, that was why I confessed. Any punishment except that”，可推断Anne早上编造那个（弄丢胸针的）说法是为了接受惩罚，从而避免错过野餐。故选D。 D People use traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM 传统中医) to help keep the balance (平衡) of yin and yang. But have you ever thought that one day you can learn herb (药草) planting and TCM courses at school? A primary school in Nanjing has just opened a herb farm. More than 30 herbs are planted. Students there are guided by doctors from a TCM hospital to tell different herbs and learn plant development, medicinal value as well as growing herbs. So far, the hospital has given the school over 100 cartoon books about TCM to help make more children interested in herbal medicine. Another middle school has introduced TCM courses to students of all grades. These courses cover a basic (基础的) knowledge of herbs, herb planting and cooking with herbs. They give students a much deeper understanding of TCM, bringing out their sense of pride in Chinese traditions and the country’s rich culture. Wang Haoxuan, a Grade 8 student from the school, told the reporter happily, “I have learned a lot about TCM from the courses. And as a Chinese, I really feel proud of our great country.” He took part in a knowledge competition about TCM the other day. He was glad that he came fourth in the end. “I will go on learning Chinese medicine to improve myself. I dream of being a Chinese medicine doctor when I grow up,” he added. Also in Shanghai, Tongji University has provided foreign students with some chances to plant different kinds of herbs widely used in Chinese medicine and cooking. By taking care of the plants, foreign students can learn how to make herbal medicine from start to finish, and spread TCM culture to their own countries. The herb planting courses at schools and universities across China get students even closer to TCM and help pass on the tradition. 40. What is the main purpose of the herb farm in the Nanjing primary school? A. To let students have fun in planting. B. To help students learn about different herbs and their knowledge. C. To make students become doctors in the future. D. To show off the school’s special feature. 41. What can we infer from Wang Haoxuan’s words? A. He doesn’t like other subjects except TCM. B.

But whether you can do this well depends on (取决于) your learning habits. ____43____ Create an interest in what they learn. Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain is more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to (注意) it for a long time. Good learners can always find interesting ways to learn. For example, if they need to learn English and they like music or sports, they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English. ____44____ Practise and learn from mistakes. “Practice makes perfect.” Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent (发明) the telephone overnight. He succeeded by trying many times and learning from his mistakes. ____45____ It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best way they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps. They also look for ways to review (复习) what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student. Ask questions. Good learners often ask questions during or after class. ____46____ Knowledge comes from questioning. Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. ____47____ So, be a clever learner, and you will become a successful learner. A. Be proud of your study. B.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了成功学习者共有的几个良好学习习惯，包括培养学习兴趣、练习并从错误中学习、发展学习技能、提问以及终身学习的重要性。 【43题详解】 根据文章开头“Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether you can do this well depends on your learning habits.”和下文列举的具体习惯，可知此处需概括成功学习者的共同特点。选项G“研究表明，成功的学习者有一些共同的好习惯。”符合语境。故选G。 【44题详解】 根据前文“Good learners can always find interesting ways to learn… they can listen to English songs or watch sports programs in English.”可知，好的学习者会通过兴趣学习，如听英文歌或看英文体育节目，选项C“这样他们不会感到无聊。”是对前文兴趣学习法的总结。故选C。 【45题详解】 根据空后提到“It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best way they can study.”可知，仅努力学习不够，还需掌握方法，选项B“发展学习技能。”能概括本段主旨。故选B。 【46题详解】 根据前文“Good learners often ask questions during or after class.”可知，好的学习者常在课上或课后提问，选项D“他们互相提问并寻找答案。”是对提问习惯的进一步说明。故选D。 【47题详解】 根据结尾“Learning is a lifelong journey…”可知，学习是终身旅程，选项E“所学成为你的一部分并改变你。”呼应终身学习的意义。故选E。 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题共56分) VI.词汇运用(共11小题；每小题1分，满分11分) 根据句意，从方框中选用恰当的单词或短语填空。 open up, spare, loudly, must, in some ways, environment 48.

He is willing to help others. 【答案】48. spare 49. environment 50. must 51. open up 52. loudly 53. in some ways 【解析】 【48题详解】 句意：我姐姐经常在她的空闲时间帮妈妈做家务。根据“helps my mother with housework”和备选词汇可知，在空闲时间帮忙做家务，应用形容词spare“空闲的”修饰名词time。故填spare。 【49题详解】 句意：来自幸福家庭的孩子更自信，因为幸福的家庭为孩子提供了充满爱的环境。根据“a happy family provides a loving...for its children”和备选词汇可知，家庭会为孩子提供生活成长的环境，需名词作宾语，environment“环境”，可数名词；a修饰可数名词单数。故填environment。 【50题详解】 句意：根据规定，学生在学校必须穿校服。根据“Students…wear uniforms at school according to the rules.”和备选词汇可知，学生在学校必须穿校服，应用情态动词must“必须”。故填must。 【51题详解】 句意：这两家大公司决定携手开拓新市场，以便为社会提供更多就业机会。根据“join hands to...new markets”和备选词汇可知，公司合作的目的通常是开拓市场，open up“打开”；不定式符号to后用动词原形。故填open up。 【52题详解】 句意：学生们看到这个有趣的卡通形象时，大声地笑了起来。根据“laughed”和备选词汇可知，此处需修饰动词“laughed”，应用副词loudly“大声地”。故填loudly。 【53题详解】 句意：汤姆经常捉弄他的同学。但在某些方面，他是个好孩子。他愿意帮助别人。根据“But…he is a good boy.”和备选词汇可知，But表示转折，此处指在某些方面，他是个好孩子，应用短语in some ways“在某些方面”。故填in some ways。 B) 根据句意，用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空。 54. The sick man was so weak that the nurse was ________ (able) to get him up. 【答案】unable 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个病人太虚弱了，护士无法扶他起来。根据“so weak that”可知，前后为因果关系，病人虚弱会导致护士“不能”扶起他。空格处需填入形容词作表语，且与“able”构成反义。able意思是“能够的”，形容词，其否定形式为“unable”（不能），符合语境。故填unable。 55. When asking for help, remember to speak much ________ (polite) so that others will be happy to give you a hand. 【答案】more politely 【解析】 【详解】句意：当寻求帮助时，记得说话更有礼貌些，这样别人会乐意帮你一把。根据“When asking for help, remember to speak much...so that others will be happy to give you a hand.”以及所给提示词可知，这里需要一个副词来修饰动词speak，polite是形容词，其副词形式是politely；又因为前面有much，much常用来修饰形容词或副词的比较级，所以要用politely的比较级more politely。故填more politely。 56. At the family gathering, we noticed that all the ________ (wife) names were written differently on the name cards. 【答案】wives’ 【解析】 【详解】句意：在家庭聚会上，我们注意到所有妻子们的名字在名片上都写得不一样。wife “妻子”，根据前文“all”可知，名词需变为复数形式。又根据后文“names”可知，应为妻子们的名字，考查名词所有格。故填wives’。 57. —Would you mind me ________ (open) the door? —Of course not. It’s a little hot in the room. 【答案】opening 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你介意把门打开吗？——当然不介意。房间里有点热。mind doing sth“介意做某事”，动名词作宾语。故填opening。 58. —Can I borrow your dictionary? —Sorry, I can’t lend it to you because Tom refused ________ (return) it just now. 【答案】to return 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我能借你的字典吗？——抱歉，我不能借给你，因为汤姆刚才拒绝归还它。根据“refused”可知，是指拒绝归还词典，其后需接动词不定式（to do）作宾语，构成固定搭配“refuse to do sth.”（拒绝做某事）。“return”意为“归还”，其不定式形式为“to return”，符合语境。故填to return。 VⅢⅡ. 任务型阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容回答问题。(每个小题答案不超过10个单词)。 No time to stop After facing great challenges, 30-year-old Spanish motorcycle racer (摩托车手) Marc Marquez has made a successful comeback. On March 16, the six-time world champion (冠军) won his second race of the 2025 MotoGP season at the Argentina Grand Prix. Born in Cervera, Spain, in 1995, Marquez asked his parents for a bike before he turned 4 years old. In 2013, he started his MotoGP journey and won a world championship in his first season. Between 2014 and 2019, he was at the top of the sport, winning five out of six championships. At 1.68 meters tall, Marquez got the nickname (绰号) “the Ant of Cervera”. This was due to his small size but amazing ability to control a 160-kilogram motorcycle at speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour. He also pioneered the “elbow down” riding style, where riders keep their elbows close to the ground to go faster. Just as Marquez was about to reach bigger goals, a serious accident in the 2020 MotoGP season broke his right arm. Since then, he’s been working hard to get better from a number of crashes (撞车) and injuries (受伤). During his recovery (恢复), Marquez’s team had to take the wheels off his bike and hide them so he wouldn’t try to ride. He’s not afraid of the crashes that nearly ended his career. “Maybe sometimes I’m taking too much risk but I cannot ride a bike worrying about the crashing,” Marquez told The Guardian. With two wins in a row, Marquez has made a strong start to win his first world title (冠军) since 2019. “I continue fighting because, in the end, my love for racing is more than what I was suffering,” he added. 59. How many world championships has Marc Marquez won? _______________________________________________ 60. What challenges did Marc Marquez face before his successful comeback in 2025? _______________________________________________ 61. Why was Marc Marquez nicknamed “the Ant of Cervera”? _______________________________________________ 62. Marquez isn’t afraid of the crashes, is he? _______________________________________________ 63. What helps Marc Marquez overcome (战胜) the challenges according to the passage? _______________________________________________ 【答案】59. Six./6. 60. A serious accident and injuries. 61. Small size but amazing ability. 62. No, he isn’t. 63. His love for racing. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了30岁西班牙车手Marc Marquez伤愈复出，2025阿根廷大奖赛夺第二胜，开启冲击2019年后首个世界冠军之路。 【59题详解】 根据“On March 16, the six-time world champion (冠军) won his second race of the 2025 MotoGP season at the Argentina Grand Prix.”可知，Marc Marquez赢得了六次世界冠军。故填Six./6. 【60题详解】 根据“a serious accident in the 2020 MotoGP season broke his right arm. Since then, he’s been working hard to get better from a number of crashes (撞车) and injuries (受伤).”可知，复出之前他遭遇了严重事故和伤病。故填A serious accident and injuries. 61题详解】 根据“This was due to his small size but amazing ability to control a 160-kilogram motorcycle at speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour.”可知，绰号源于他身材矮小却能驾驭重型摩托。故填Small size but amazing ability. 【62题详解】 根据“Maybe sometimes I’m taking too much risk but I cannot ride a bike worrying about the crashing,”可知，他骑车时不会担心摔。故填No, he isn’t. 【63题详解】 根据“I continue fighting because, in the end, my love for racing is more than what I was suffering”可知，Marc Marquez对赛车的热爱帮助他克服了挑战。故填His love for racing.

Penguin Robot Toy Penbo Blue Price: $59 Penbo Blue is a real robot for girls. Penbo Blue loves to talk and sing. You can play 5 kinds of games with Penbo Blue. There are four different colors: purple, green, pink and blue. For children aged 4 and up. Robot Dog Price: $1,657 It can take pictures. You can move it to the left, right, front and back by the remote control. It does not like you to touch its sides. It will fall asleep if you don’t pay attention to it for more than five minutes. 26.

B You can play 4 kinds of games with Penbo Blue. C. Robot Dog likes you to touch its sides. D. You can move Robot Dog in different directions with a remote control. B If you are hiking with a friend who is overweight, you may hear them say that the hills look steeper (更陡峭的) and the distances look farther away than what they really are. Is your friend lazy? Actually, this is just what the world looks like in their eyes. Scientists from Colorado State University show that being overweight distorts perception (扭曲知觉). They think distances are farther away than they actually are. In one study, scientists asked 66 people of different weights and sizes to say how far away a traffic cone (交通围标) was. In fact, the cone was 25m away. Those who were about 57kg thought it was just 15m from them, but those who weighed about 146kg saw it as being 30m away. So far from being crazy. Overweight people simply see the world differently when thinking about exercise. The heavy weight can feel like a load (装载物) to carry. “If you find yourself out hiking with a heavy backpack, hills are going to seem steeper, distances are going to look farther, and a gap across a river is going to look bigger.” Jessica Witt from Colorado State University told the Guardian. It’s this idea that if you have to make more of an effort to climb that hill because you are carrying this heavy backpack, the hill is going to look more challenging (有挑战性的). “You are not seeing that hill as it is. You are seeing the world through your ability to act. You have less ability because you are having to carry this backpack.” Witt said. Sometimes the steepest hills exist in the mind before the feet ever feel them. 31. Why might an overweight hiker see a hill as steeper than it really is? A. Because they don’t want to exercise. B. Because they need glasses. C. Because they’re not good at hiking. D. Because their body makes challenges seem bigger. 32. From the third paragraph we can know that ________. A heavier people guessed distances more correctly B. everyone saw the cone at the same distance C. people’s weight affected (影响) how far they thought the cone was D. people who were about 57kg thought the traffic cone was just 30m from them 33. Jessica Witt compared carrying extra body weight to ________. A. hiking with a heavy backpack B. going uphill on a bicycle C. wearing uncomfortable shoes D. walking in bad weather 34. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A. Everyone sees the world the same way. B. People see things based on (基于) what they can easily do. C. Only strong people see things correctly. D. Your eyes change when you exercise. 35. The writer’s main purpose in writing this passage is to tell ________. A. hiking is harder for overweight people B. the importance of being the right weight and size C. everyone should lose weight D. we should understand that people experience challenges differently C Marilla was angry. Anne lost the brooch and didn’t feel guilty. “Anne, this is terrible,” Marilla said. “You are very naughty.” “Yes. I know I have to be punished,” agreed Anne calmly. “Please do it now. I want to go to the picnic without guilt.” “You are not going to the picnic. That is your punishment.” “What?” Anne stood suddenly. “Oh, Marilla, that was why I confessed. Any punishment except that. Oh, Marilla, please, can I go to the picnic? Please.” “You are not going to the picnic.” Anne threw her body on the bed and cried. Marilla left the room quickly. “Oh dear, Mrs Rachel Lynde was right. But I began this work with Anne. I must continue.” At lunch-time Marilla called Anne. “Come and have lunch, Anne.” “I can’t eat anything,” said Anne. “My heart is broken.” Marilla was very annoyed. She spoke to Matthew. “Well, she wasn’t right taking the brooch. And telling lies was bad,” said Matthew. “But she’s so young. I think she needs to go to that picnic.” “Matthew, I think I was too easy with her. And she doesn’t understand that she was naughty. You’re defending her.” Matthew was quiet. He didn’t agree with Marilla. After lunch Marilla remembered she had to repair her shawl. The shawl was in a box on the table in her room. Marilla lifted it. It seemed that something was attached to the shawl. It glittered. It was the amethyst brooch. “Oh dear,” said Marilla, “Here’s my brooch. But Anne said she took it and lost it.” Marilla went to Anne’s bedroom with the brooch. “Anne,” said Marilla. “I found my brooch attached to my shawl.

But have you ever thought that one day you can learn herb (药草) planting and TCM courses at school? A primary school in Nanjing has just opened a herb farm. More than 30 herbs are planted. Students there are guided by doctors from a TCM hospital to tell different herbs and learn plant development, medicinal value as well as growing herbs. So far, the hospital has given the school over 100 cartoon books about TCM to help make more children interested in herbal medicine. Another middle school has introduced TCM courses to students of all grades. These courses cover a basic (基础的) knowledge of herbs, herb planting and cooking with herbs. They give students a much deeper understanding of TCM, bringing out their sense of pride in Chinese traditions and the country’s rich culture. Wang Haoxuan, a Grade 8 student from the school, told the reporter happily, “I have learned a lot about TCM from the courses. And as a Chinese, I really feel proud of our great country.” He took part in a knowledge competition about TCM the other day. He was glad that he came fourth in the end. “I will go on learning Chinese medicine to improve myself. I dream of being a Chinese medicine doctor when I grow up,” he added. Also in Shanghai, Tongji University has provided foreign students with some chances to plant different kinds of herbs widely used in Chinese medicine and cooking. By taking care of the plants, foreign students can learn how to make herbal medicine from start to finish, and spread TCM culture to their own countries. The herb planting courses at schools and universities across China get students even closer to TCM and help pass on the tradition. 40. What is the main purpose of the herb farm in the Nanjing primary school? A. To let students have fun in planting. B. To help students learn about different herbs and their knowledge. C. To make students become doctors in the future. D. To show off the school’s special feature. 41. What can we infer from Wang Haoxuan’s words? A. He doesn’t like other subjects except TCM. B. He wants to win first place in the next TCM knowledge competition. C. He will give up learning TCM if he doesn’t do well in it. D. He has an interest in TCM and wants to develop himself in this area. 42. What is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Traditional Chinese Medicine. B. Fun in Planting Herbs. C. TCM Courses and Herb Planting. D. Foreign Students and Traditional Chinese Medicine. V. 信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone is born with the ability to learn.

On March 16, the six-time world champion (冠军) won his second race of the 2025 MotoGP season at the Argentina Grand Prix. Born in Cervera, Spain, in 1995, Marquez asked his parents for a bike before he turned 4 years old. In 2013, he started his MotoGP journey and won a world championship in his first season. Between 2014 and 2019, he was at the top of the sport, winning five out of six championships. At 1.68 meters tall, Marquez got the nickname (绰号) “the Ant of Cervera”. This was due to his small size but amazing ability to control a 160-kilogram motorcycle at speeds of up to 350 kilometers per hour. He also pioneered the “elbow down” riding style, where riders keep their elbows close to the ground to go faster. Just as Marquez was about to reach bigger goals, a serious accident in the 2020 MotoGP season broke his right arm. Since then, he’s been working hard to get better from a number of crashes (撞车) and injuries (受伤). During his recovery (恢复), Marquez’s team had to take the wheels off his bike and hide them so he wouldn’t try to ride. He’s not afraid of the crashes that nearly ended his career. “Maybe sometimes I’m taking too much risk but I cannot ride a bike worrying about the crashing,” Marquez told The Guardian. With two wins in a row, Marquez has made a strong start to win his first world title (冠军) since 2019. “I continue fighting because, in the end, my love for racing is more than what I was suffering,” he added. 59.
