If the team gets to compete in what is widely judged to be the world's most exhausting endurance race,they'll also enter the history books as the first all-disabled team to do so. It's something they have to work up to,with all the drivers needing the necessary expericnce and suitable cars. Other disabled drivers have taken part,but only through a wild card,non-competitive plan."We don't want that,Dave,54,insists."We want to compete on a level playing field,as a statement that even as disabled racing drivers we belong on a world stage.We want to earn our place,not have it given to us." As a wheelchair user since he dove into a lake.and.broke his neck at 23,Dave set up the charity Kart Force in 2010 as a way for injured old soldiers to use sports car for recovery.He went on to found Team BRIT in 2015-creating a set of hand controls that could be installed in racing cars to enable drivers with disabilities to compete side by side with able-bodied competitors.Based at Dunsfold Park (also home of the Top Gear test track near Cranleigh),it is a competitive,sponsorship-supported racing team. Every test lap at Dunsfold is fired by the same belief:the summit of endurance racing is not reserved for the able-bodicd,but for the daring who refuse to quit.When the green flag falls in 2026,Team BRIT will prove that the only real disability is a mind that never dares to race. 24.Why does Dave Player regard the Le Mans 24 Hours as his final goal? A.It is the first race he has ever watched on TV. B.It is the only race that allows disabled drivers. C.It offers the biggest money prize in motor sports. D.It is seen as the highest mountain in endurance racing. 25.In what aspect is Team BRIT different from other disabled participants? A.They have a wild card entry. B.They never take the world stage. C.They make non-competitive schemes. D.They aim to earn their position themselves. 高三英语试卷第4页（共10页） 26.What did Dave do first after his own accident? A.He built the Top Gear test track. B.He created hand controls for racing cars C.He started Kart Force to help injured soldiers. D.He founded Team BRIT for the disabled competitors. 27.Which words would best describe Dave Player? A.Determined but mean. B.Talented but reserved. C.Caring and ambitious. D.Patient and cautious. C Looking at his pile of unpaid bills always makes Giuseppe Del Giudice feel uneasy. Sometimes he got late fees because of his habit of putting things off,but in many ways the emotional loss is worse."The longer the bills go unpaid,"says Del Giudice,"the more anxious I get..” Everyone procrastinates(拖延).“It's common,”says procrastination researcher Tim Pychyl,a psychology professor at Carleton University,Canada."One of the ways we cope is to run away,and that's what procrastination comes down to." You can procrastinate on nearly anything,even pleasant tasks such as planning a vacation.Research has shown that the top tasks people delay are cleaning,advancing their careers,taking care of their health and planning their finances. One big factor for them is fear of bcing judged by others and themselves.Kelli Saginak procrastinated about looking for a new job for years."It's totally fear of failure and of not living up to expectation,"says Saginak."If I don't take the risk,I don't have to face the judgment.Yet it's simply me judging myself."Some people embrace procrastination, believing that they perform well under pressure.Researchers have uncovered the truth. Most of them did worse than non-procrastinators,but they thought they did better. Whatever the motivation,procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. Procrastinators experience higher levels of stress,both from leaving things to the last minute and from their own negative and self-critical feelings about their procrastination. Some of the research has also shown that this stress increases the risks of many diseases. "We used to believe behaviours follow attitude,but if you take immediate action,you'll make progress,thus motivating yourself."Pychyl says.So next time you procrastinate on starting an exercise routine,just put on your walking shoes at once. 28.Why does the author mention Del Giudice in Paragraph 1? A.To introduce the topic. B.To spark the interest. C.To explain the reason. D.To take the example. 高三英语试卷第5页（共10页） 29.What do researchers identify as the main reason for most procrastination? A.Too many urgent tasks to handle at once. B.A lack of proper time-management skills. C.Fear of self-assessment and external evaluation. D.The enjoyment of working under tight deadlines. 30.How can you deal with procrastination according to the text? A.By finding what drives you. B.By taking a positive attitude. C.By getting started right now. D.By making a routine schedule. 31.What does the passage mainly talk about? A.The solutions to procrastination. B.An introduction to procrastination. C.The dangers of procrastination. D.The main causes of procrastination. D From his office in New Haven,Yale ecologist Jeremy Cohen experiences the full range of the four seasons.It occurred to him that many of his research subjects-North American birds eschew the seasons,instead seeking the same weather conditions all year long across their migratory(迁移的)routes. To better understand how different species of North American birds track these preferred climatic conditions,Cohen determined the environmental conditions using satellite weather data,which allowed him to assess how those conditions experienced by each species change throughout the seasons.This analysis was the first to consider the importance of weather change in determining how bird species track their habitats across seasons.Past studies had evaluated only the average weather conditions,leaving vital knowledge gaps about both the ecology and potential danger of birds. "We found that some migratory species can track temperature or rainfall throughout the year,going out of their way to experience the same weather all year long,while others experience strong changes.in seasonal conditions throughout the year,said Cohen.Long distance migratory birds,such as the prothonotary warbler,are excellent habitat-trackers. Their migration means they can seek out preferred condition.Small-bodied birds,such as vireos,and insect-eaters,such as flycatchers,also tend to closely track their habitats over the year,while large-bodied birds are able to bear a wide range of conditions over the year. Revealing these patterns was no simple task.For the study,Cohen had to combine data from millions of current records for over 600 bird species along with 22 years of weather data.Such a task would not have been possible even a decade ago."It's important to understand how wildlife is handling the consequences of speeding up climate change so that,as climate change speeds up,we can prevent the fall of ecological communities and biological diversity while avoiding the loss of ecosystem services,"Cohen said. 高三英语试卷第6页（共10页） 32.What docs the underlined word "eschew"in Paragraph I mean? A.Scarch. B.Avoid. C.Endure. D.Forecast. 33.Comparcd with previous rescarches,Cohen's study is novel because A.It records daily bchaviour via satellite data. B.It links body size with migration distance. C.It tracks weather change beyond averages. D.It surveys 600-plus bird species worldwide 34.Why are varictics of birds in Paragraph 3 mentioned? A.To indicatc distancc links with latitude B.To prove body size decides migration route. C.To highlight the urgency in climate change. D.To show tracking skill differs among spccies. 35.What can we infer from Cohcn's words in the last paragraph? A.Satellite records alone can save threatened birds. B.Ecological collapse is now beyond human control. C.Without big-data insight,timely protection may fail. D.Climate change mainly threatens large-bodied species. 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。 The ways to turn one day off into a 24-hour vacation For people with inflexible schedules or limited time off from work,flying for a day trip can be an attainable way to experience a place without committing to a longer vacation.Kevin Droniak says he is "addicted"to 24-hour travel. Droniak,a content creator,has documented over a dozen trips originating from New York on TikTok.36 Typically,it involves an early-morning flight,a period of exploring a city or a specific attraction,then a departure in the evening or the following morning."I want to showcase that travel can have an incredible impact even if time isn't on your side,"said Droniak,28.Fast-paced travel and 24-hour journeys appear earlier than social media and viral fads.However,this hardcore style of travel taps into our modern desire for quick,impactful experiences that are easily documented and shared.37 Droniak says the key to jet-setting day trips is not to over-pian.38 On a trip to Puerto Rico,for instance,his objective was simply to go to the beach.In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York),his only goal was to see the pyramids. 39 Most people might consider a route like this extremely exhausting,but Droniak insists that he embraced and enjoyed the sweaty adventure 高三英语试卷第7页（共10页） "I know it's not for everyone,but,for me,I love just sitting on a plane,so flying is part of the fun.It's also helpful that I can sleep upright,he said.The idea of flying anywhere for a day trip is inconceivable,but Droniak considers the most worthwhile experiences are ones that fully get you out of the house.40 Because it makes it possible to experience a childlike sense of wonder again,"he said. A.You shouldn't over-plan your trip. B.It's travel's version of instant satisfaction. C.Even a short trip is better than staying home. D.And in Paris,his purpose was to visit the Eiffcl Tower. E.That means having only one "motive"for each place. F.24-hour travel is not a new idea and has been popular since it appeared. G.Of these trips,he usually sticks to a "24-hour whirlwind check-off"format. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 Food has always been a THING in my family.Growing up,I thought everyone had a 41 bunker(储存室)in their basement..We42did,and we called it the“Cold Room".My dad built it with great 43.The Cold Room was a small masterpiece,with a 44 freezer usually filled with a side of beef,a whole pig,and numerous Christmas treats.But the best was the homemade vegetable bins for root vegetables for the long winter.Unfortunately,my dad 45 them in a material that we later found out was 46.I often wonder how much of the bad dust I 47 while digging for the last vegetables in the spring.
