(时间：100分钟　满分：120分) 第一部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、 D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Olympic host cities are generally considered to be equipped with advanced technology and expensive facilities.Now，people can just go there for a little Olympic-level entertainment. Athens，Greece (1896 and 2004) Home to the first modern Olympic Games in 1896，Athens' history of the Olympic tradition dates back several thousand years.Every four years，the Olympic torch is lit at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens before beginning its long journey to the new host city.Visitors can walk through the Olympic Velodrome in the Olympic Sports Complex and step back in time at the 50，000-seat stadium. Barcelona，Spain(1992) These days Barcelona is among the world's most visitable cities even without Olympic fame，but that isn't always the case.The telecommunications tower built for the games by Spanish architect Calatrava is also an iconic(图像的) device of the city's skyline，and its Olympics stadium—Montjuic Stadium is regularly used to host A-list musical performances like The Rolling Stones，Madonna，and Beyonce. St Moritz，Switzerland (1928 and 1948) Appropriately，the town that invented Alpine tourism has hosted the Winter Olympics twice，and continues to make use of its many sports facilities—if you can afford to get there.Stay at the Kulm Hotel for the easiest access to the Kulm Country Club，where guests can skate on the same lake used by mid-century Olympians，or test your courage on the Olympia Bob Run，one of the few places where you can ride a full-speed Olympic bobsled(双人雪橇) on a run constructed entirely of ice. Sydney，Australia (2000) The turn-of-the-century Sydney Summer Olympics were named the “Green Games” by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and were designed to introduce a more environmentally conscious way of hosting the event.The structure that best shows Sydney's efforts to be an example of continuing Olympic development is the ANZ Stadium. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。短文介绍了几个举办过奥运会的城市：希腊雅典、西班牙巴塞罗那、瑞士圣莫里茨、澳大利亚悉尼的各自的特色。 1．Where does the host city get the Olympic torch lit? A．At the Panathenaic Stadium. B．At the Olympic Sports Complex. C．At the Montjuic Stadium. D．At the ANZ Stadium. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段“Every four years，the Olympic torch is lit at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens”可知，每四年，奥运火炬在雅典的帕纳辛纳克体育场点燃。结合选项，故选A。 答案　A 2．Who will probably choose to visit St Moritz? A．Those fond of ice-sports. B．Those fond of listening to opera. C．Those interested in popular music. D．Those interested in Olympic history. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段“the town that invented Alpine tourism has hosted the Winter Olympics twice”可知，圣莫里茨已经举办了两届冬奥会，以及“where guests can skate on the same lake used by mid-century Olympians”可知，在那里，游客能够在中世纪奥运会选手使用过的同一个湖上滑冰，因此，喜欢冰上运动的人可能会选择圣莫里茨。结合选项，故选A。 答案　A 3．What's special about Sydney Olympic Games? A．Their designers are from Spain. B．They are thought poorly of by the IOC. C．They are hosted in an environmentally friendly way. D．Their design intention is proposed by Sydney authority. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段“The turn-of-the-century Sydney Summer Olympics were named the ‘Green Games’ by the International Olympic Committee (IOC)”可知悉尼夏季奥运会被国际奥委会命名为绿色奥运会，以及“were designed to introduce a more environmentally conscious way of hosting the event”可知，它被设计用来引入一种更环保的主办方式，结合选项，故选C。 答案　C B (2025·湖南长沙市长郡中学月考)Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time.He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime，yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to misfortune． Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor.It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon him by racial prejudice.Many would say his childhood was not easy.He grew up poor and age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents. But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams.Nothing seemed to stop him，not even stolen shoes.Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics，somebody stole his shoes.Thorpe improvised(临时拼凑)by getting shoes out of the garbage.The shoes were two different sizes.He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out. He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one，the javelin(掷标枪项目).The javelin was the only event he didn't win，probably because he had never competed in that event before.It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials.At the time，he didn't know that he could throw it with a running start.He threw it standing still and was placed second. At the Olympics，he also took part in the decathlon(十项全能运动).He finished first in two events，third in four events，and fourth in two more.Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world.He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn't be stopped and just kept on going. I think Paul Dughi said it best，“It's hard to imagine now that professional athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes.For Jim Thorpe，it didn't matter what kind he wore.” [语篇解读]　 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了美国运动员Jim Thorpe坎坷的人生经历和他作为运动员所取得的骄人成绩。 4．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean? A．Thorpe's success was no guarantee of a better life. B．Thorpe's career brought him both gains and losses. C．Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success. D．The difficult situation Thorpe got into led to his success. 解析　句义猜测题。根据第二段内容可知，Thorpe经历了很多苦难：幼年时双胞胎兄弟过世，随后父母双亡，青年时又困扰于种族歧视带来的磨难。由画线句前面的yet 表转折意义可知，这里想表达的是虽然 Thorpe后来有所成就，但却经历了很多苦难，故选 C。 答案　C 5．Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot? A．To prevent the foot from injury. B．To make the shoe fit the foot. C．To stop the shoe from being stolen. D．To show his problem-solving skills. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The shoes were two different sizes.He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.”可知，Thorpe临时找来的两只鞋尺码大小不一，因此他多穿袜子就是为了让鞋合脚，故选 B。 答案　B 6．What most likely led to Thorpe's failure to win the javelin? A．Loss of his own sport shoes. B．Lack of experience in the event. C．A shortage of talent for the event. D．A casual attitude towards the event. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“probably because he had never competed in that event before”可知，他没有参加过标枪比赛，因此比赛经验不足最可能是他失利的原因，故选 B。 答案　B 7．Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe? A．Genuine and creative. B．Loyal and enthusiatic. C．Tough and strong-minded. D．Selfless and good-tempered. 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段的描述可知，Jim Thorpe 在成长过程中经历过很多苦难，这很大程度上塑造了他坚韧不拔的性格。第三段中的“But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams.Nothing seemed to stop him，not even stolen shoes.”正是对他坚韧不拔性格的刻画。由此可知， tough(坚强的)和 strong-minded(意志坚定的)是对他最准确的描述，故选 C。 答案　C C “We thought dogs would behave like children under age 5，but now we guess that perhaps dogs can understand when someone is dishonest，” says Huber at the University of Vienna in Austria.“Maybe they think，‘This person has the same knowledge as me，but is giving me the wrong information.’ It's possible that they could see that as lying.” Once that trust was established，the team had the dogs see another person move the food from the first to the second bowl.The communicators (交流者) were either in the room，and also saw the switch (转移)，or were briefly absent and so apparently unaware that the food had been switched.In either case，the communicators would later recommend the first bowl，which was now empty. In previous versions of this experiment with children under age 5，the participants reacted in particular ways.They would typically ignore the communicator who gave honest but misleading advice on where the food was.However，if the communicator had been in the room and seen the switch，but still recommended the first (now empty) bowl，young children were actually much more likely to follow the communicator's knowingly misleading suggestion. This may be because the children trusted the communicator over the evidence of their own eyes，says Huber. The dogs in the new experiment，however，weren't so trusting of lying communicators，much to the researchers' surprise，says Huber.Half of the dogs would follow the communicator's misleading advice if the communicator hadn't seen the food switch.But only one-third of dogs followed the communicator who had seen the food switch and still recommended the now-empty bowl.These dogs simply went to the bowl filled with food instead.“They did not rely on the communicator anymore，” says Huber. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项实验，该实验表明狗的聪明程度超出人们的想象。 8．What do Huber's words in paragraph 1 show? A．Dogs won't believe people any longer. B．We can train dogs to act like children. C．Dogs are a lot cleverer than we thought. D．Humans often treat dogs as friends. 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段的“‘We thought dogs would behave like children under age 5，but now we guess that perhaps dogs can understand when someone is dishonest，’ says Huber at the University of Vienna in Austria.”可知，我们原以为狗的行为会像5岁以下的孩子一样，但是现在Huber猜测也许当某个人不诚实时，狗会知道。由此可推知，Huber的话表明狗比我们所认为的要聪明得多。故选C。 答案　C 9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The communicator's suggestion. B．The dogs' reaction in the experiment. C．The communicator's purpose. D．The children's reaction in the experiment. 解析　段落大意题。根据第三段的第一句“In previous versions of this experiment with children under age 5，the participants reacted in particular ways.”可知，本段主要介绍5岁以下小孩在类似实验中的反应。故选D。 答案　D 10．Who would the dogs more likely trust according to the last paragraph? A．The one who didn't see the food switch. B．The one who moved the food. C．The one who recommended the wrong bowl. D．The one who saw the food switch. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Half of the dogs would follow the communicator's misleading advice if the communicator hadn't seen the food switch.But only one-third of dogs followed the communicator who had seen the food switch and still recommended the now-empty bowl.”可知，如果交流者没有看到食物的转移，一半的狗会听从交流者误导性的建议。而只有三分之一的狗会听从那些看到食物被转移的人，由此可知，当食物被转移后，狗更可能会信任那些没有看到食物被转移的人。故选A。 答案　A 11．What can we conclude from the passage? A．Dogs are cleverer than children under age 5. B．Dogs can sometimes tell when people are lying. C．We can train dogs to find food in different ways. D．We should be honest like dogs. 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段的“‘We thought dogs would behave like children under age 5，but now we guess that perhaps dogs can understand when someone is dishonest，’”以及最后一段的“The dogs in the new experiment，however，weren't so trusting of lying communicators，much to the researchers' surprise，says Huber.”可知，本文主要介绍了当人在撒谎时，狗能够识别出来。故选B。 答案　B D In the Beijing Winter Olympics，we were treated to incredible displays of athletic talents as competitors took to the snow and ice.As a popular sport at the Winter Olympics，ski jumping is one of the best examples to showcase the “superhuman” power of athletes. Ski jumpers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky.How do they achieve this? Physics can offer us an explanation of how they make it.It involves the use of the laws of aerodynamics (空气动力学) to fight against gravity and increase lift while reducing drag. To understand how ski jumping works，we need to consider three elements: gravity，lift and drag.Gravity is the force that pulls us towards an object.Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air—as its surface comes into contact with air particles (微粒)，the particles are pushed down and away from the object，allowing it to move up.At the same time，this interaction creates drag，and slows down an object's movement. While there is nothing that the skiers can do about gravity，they can twist their bodies into positions that allow them to achieve greater lift and avoid as much drag as possible.According to the Smithsonian Magazine，“To do this，athletes try their best to make their skis and bodies nearly parallel to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body.This position increases the surface area that produces lift and puts them in the ideal angle that will also maximize (最大化) lift.” Because of how the sport works，athletes' equipment is strictly controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair advantages.This means suits must be tight in order to ensure athletes cannot use them as a way to gain more lift.For athletes，minor day-to-day water weight changes as little as 300 grams.It can mean that suits will not be tight enough according to their body mass indexes (身体质量指数). [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了跳台滑雪运动员们是如何实现在空中腾起的。文章介绍了其背后的科学道理，并说明了跳台滑雪运动员也需要特制的服装来协助完成动作。 12．What contributes to lift in ski jumping? A．The interaction between force and drag. B．The interaction between gravity and balance. C．The interaction between air particles and gravity. D．The interaction between skiers and air particles. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air...allowing it to move up.”可知，跳台滑雪运动员要实现向上运动，就要和空气颗粒进行接触。故选D。 答案　D 13．What should ski jumpers do in order to achieve the best performance? a．Keep their bodies and skis parallel to the ground. b．Change their positions as little as possible. c．Position their skis in a V-shape when they jump. d．Increase the angle as much as possible. A．ac B．bc C．cd D．ad 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段的Smithsonian Magazine 提到的内容可知，要有最佳表现就要让身体和滑雪板尽可能跟地面平行，然后让滑雪板呈V字形放在身体外侧，因此a和c符合。故选A。 答案　A 14．What is required to ensure fair play in ski jumping? A．Specially made suits. B．Strict control of athletes' height. C．Standardized equipment. D．Much daily water intake. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Because of how the sport works...cannot use them as a way to gain more lift.”可知，为了确保比赛的公平，运动员必须穿按照他们的体重和身高来定制的运动服装，且要紧身的，这样才会保证他们不会利用服装来获得更大的升力。故选A。 答案　A 15．What's the main focus of the text? A．The techniques used by ski jumpers. B．The scientific principles behind ski jumping. C．Rules of the ski jumping competition. D．Excellent performances in ski jumping. 解析　主旨大意题。根据第二段内容以及第三段的“To understand how ski jumping works，we need to consider three elements: gravity，lift and drag.”可知，本文主要讲述了跳台滑雪背后的科学原理。故选B。 答案　B 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。 All over the world people are hooked on sports，which help them to strengthen their body and build their character. 16 They improve the participants' physical skills，and provide entertainment for the audience as well.

Yours， Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 (2025·辽宁葫芦岛阶段练习)The prize may go to the fastest，but sometimes，the first one to cross the finish line isn't the only winner.Nowhere was that more true than at a 5K invitational(邀请赛) in Shelbyville，Indiana. There were two players in the match：Levi LaGrange and Axel Aleman，who hadn't known each other before.Levi LaGrange，a 16-year-old student from Western Boone Junior-Senior High School，has been expecting to be a professional sportsman for many years.Axel Aleman，who is from Sheridan High School，is a friendly and generous person and is always more concerned about others than himself.Axel once said to his classmates，“When you are standing at a crossroad，you can choose the path of self-interest，or you can go the extra mile for someone in need.As a teen athlete，the choice is extremely clear.” The game went very well at first.However，with less than half a mile to go，Levi slipped，twisting(扭伤) his ankle.He said，“I was running up the little rolling hill and I hurt my ankle.I felt something was wrong with my ankle.” Levi stopped and signed to Axel to pass him.Generally，winning a match should be the mission for a sportsman.But at that moment，the race became a secondary concern for Axel.“I was able to see he was in a lot of pain，”Axel recalled. Rather than running ahead，Axel refused to leave Levi behind.“As soon as I saw him，I knew I had to do something，”Axel said.“It just seemed like the right thing to do.That mattered more than the race.I told him I wasn't going to leave.I wanted to help him finish the match.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Seconds later，Axel ran closer to Levi. Axel gained a lot from the incident. One possible version： Seconds later，Axel ran closer to Levi.Axel picked Levi up and encouraged him to hold on to the end.Placing an encouraging hand on his competitor's back，Axel stayed with Levi for the rest of the race.He even sang a song to cheer Levi up.They moved forward side by side，with eyes looking at the finish line.Eventually，the two crossed the finish line together.Axel even made sure Levi went first.To their surprise，the event organizer announced that they were both winners. Axel gained a lot from the incident.In the following days，Axel received lots of positive comments now and then.While he might have enjoyed the praise for his kindness，for him，the best gain was the friendship with Levi.We might not always have such rare chances，but when life hands us an opportunity to help others，we should take action.Axel said，“I would just really hope people do the right thing.”Yes，we should do that，not for others，but for ourselves. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
