Over 1,600 athletes took part in a grueling test of spirit and body, facing a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a full 26.2-mile marathon run. The intense Hawaiian heat, strong winds, and challenging uphill sections forced sixty competitors to drop out of the race. Yet, against these odds, 80-year-old Natalie Grabow not only finished but also secured her place in history as the oldest woman ever to complete this legendary event. A triathlon (铁人三项) is the ultimate test of endurance, pushing athletes to their limits for hours on end. The Ironman World Championship represents the top level of this sport, known for its extreme difficulty. Natalie, an energetic grandmother, has now completed this challenge an impressive eleven times. Her achievement is even more remarkable considering she didn’t know how to swim until she was 59 years old. Natalie’s athletic journey began long before this record. Growing up in an era when girls were often sidelined as cheerleaders rather than celebrated as athletes, she found her way to sports later in life. She played tennis while raising her children and took up running when she returned to work as a software developer. Her interest in triathlons was inspired by running partners, who believed cross-training helped reduce the risk of injury. Because she was unable to swim, Natalie made an important decision to learn. It was a slow and challenging process, but her determination led to gradual improvement. Her hard work paid off. In 2005, she competed in her first half-Ironman race. By her early sixties, she had qualified for the Ironman World Championship. This year, she tackled the exact same demanding course as every other athlete, under the same tough conditions. As the only participant in her age group, she never entertained the thought of quitting. With steady determination, she conquered the course in 16 hours, 45 minutes, and 26 seconds. 4. What does “grueling” underlined in the first paragraph probably mean? A. tough. B. Quite relaxing. C. Fairly simple. D. Pretty common. 5. What’s special about Natalie’s 2025 Ironman? A. She taught others to swim. B. She dropped out due to heat. C. She won the cheerleader award. D. She was the oldest female finisher. 6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Injury risks of triathlons. B. Cheerleaders’ training methods. C. Natalie’s early sports experiences. D. Software developers’ daily work. 7. We can conclude from the text that Natalie ______. A. quit her job to do triathlons B. stuck to goals despite difficulties C. learned swimming in childhood D. relied on others’ help to succeed 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了80岁的娜塔莉·格拉博在2025年铁人三项世界锦标赛中，成为完成这一传奇赛事的最年长女性，她的运动生涯和坚持精神令人钦佩。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“facing a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a full 26.2-mile marathon run. The intense Hawaiian heat, strong winds, and challenging uphill sections forced sixty competitors to drop out of the race.(面临2.4 英里的游泳、112 英里的自行车骑行，以及全程 26.2 英里的马拉松长跑。夏威夷酷热难耐的天气、强劲的风力，再加上极具挑战性的上坡路段，迫使60名参赛者退赛。)”可知，这些运动项目对精神和身体的考验是极度艰难的。由此可知，grueling意为“极度艰难的”。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet, against these odds, 80-year-old Natalie Grabow not only finished but also secured her place in history as the oldest woman ever to complete this legendary event.(然而，尽管如此，80岁的娜塔莉·格拉博不仅完成了比赛，还成为完成这项传奇赛事的最年长女性，在历史上占据了一席之地。)”可知，娜塔莉2025年的铁人三项的特别之处是她是年龄最大的女性完赛者。故选D。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Natalie’s athletic journey began long before this record. Growing up in an era when girls were often sidelined as cheerleaders rather than celebrated as athletes, she found her way to sports later in life. She played tennis while raising her children and took up running when she returned to work as a software developer. Her interest in triathlons was inspired by running partners, who believed cross-training helped reduce the risk of injury. Because she was unable to swim, Natalie made an important decision to learn. It was a slow and challenging process, but her determination led to gradual improvement.(娜塔莉的运动生涯远早于这个纪录。她成长在一个女孩常常被当作啦啦队员而不是运动员的时代，后来在生活中找到了自己的运动之路。她在抚养孩子的时候打网球，在重返软件开发者的工作岗位时开始跑步。她对铁人三项的兴趣是由跑步伙伴激发的，他们认为交叉训练有助于降低受伤风险。因为娜塔莉不会游泳，所以她做出了一个重要的决定——学习游泳。这是一个缓慢而具有挑战性的过程，但她的决心带来了逐渐的进步。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是娜塔莉早期的运动经历。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Because she was unable to swim, Natalie made an important decision to learn.

With steady determination, she conquered the course in 16 hours, 45 minutes, and 26 seconds.(作为她这个年龄段唯一的参赛者，她从未有过放弃的念头。凭借坚定的决心，她以16小时45分26秒的成绩征服了赛道。)”可知，娜塔莉尽管困难重重，仍坚持目标。故选B。 C To address the growing concern of overtourism, Copenhagen has launched CopenPay, an innovative program that transforms responsible behavior into currency. This initiative encourages visitors to make sustainable (可持续的) choices in exchange for free rewards, allowing them to enjoy the city’s culture while minimizing their environmental impact. Developed by the city’s tourism organization, Wonderful Copenhagen, CopenPay creatively rewards visitors for a range of eco-friendly actions. These include cycling or walking instead of driving, participating in clean-up activities in green spaces or canals, volunteering at urban farms, or choosing plant-based meals. Participants simply show proof of their activities, such as photos or receipts, to claim their rewards. Notably, the program operates on a trust-based honor system, reflecting Denmark’s deeply rooted culture of trustworthiness. The initiative features participation from over 90 local partners who offer a diverse range of rewards. For instance, collecting trash can earn a free boat tour with Green Kayak, an environmental organization, where participants might gather several kilos of waste, turning sightseeing into a meaningful environmental action. Cycling to a museum like the National Gallery could be rewarded with a free coffee, while helping with weeding at an organic urban farm might secure a free drink. The program also actively promotes low-carbon travel — visitors who arrive by train instead of plane receive free bike rentals through a partner app. Maddy Novich, a visitor from New York City, participated in the CopenPay program. “I think it’s a fantastic way to motivate tourists to engage in responsible and eco-friendly behavior,” said Novich. “I especially love that it encourages people to visit less well-known places like the beer garden with trash-picking activities, which might otherwise be missed. It definitely makes me more mindful of how I move through urban spaces as a guest.” Copenhagen’s well-developed bike network and widespread recycling habits provide a perfect groundwork for such a program. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by a significant 29% increase in bike rentals driven by the program, showing how these rewards can successfully change visitor behavior. In line with Copenhagen’s ambitious goal to become one of the world’s first carbon-neutral (碳中和) capitals, CopenPay demonstrates how cities can turn the challenge of mass tourism into a positive force. 8. What does CopenPay encourage visitors to do? A. Live on local farms. B. Drive less and cycle more. C. Collect trash for money. D. Take more scenery photos. 9. What is Maddy Novich’s attitude to CopenPay? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Uninterested. 10. What can we learn about CopenPay? A. It’s run by Green Kayak. B. It’s a successful innovation. C. It’s too complex to operate. D. It’s limited to local residents. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. Copenhagen’s rise in bike rentals. B. Ways to get free rewards in Denmark. C. Green Kayak’s environmental actions. D. A sustainable solution to overtourism. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了哥本哈根为解决过度旅游问题而推出的创新项目CopenPay，该计划通过将负责任的行为转化为货币，鼓励游客做出可持续的选择，以换取免费奖励，从而在享受城市文化的同时减少对环境的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These include cycling or walking instead of driving, participating in clean-up activities in green spaces or canals, volunteering at urban farms, or choosing plant-based meals.(这些包括骑自行车或步行代替开车，参与绿地或运河的清理活动，在城市农场做志愿者，或选择植物性饮食。)”可知，CopenPay鼓励游客少开车，多骑自行车。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I think it’s a fantastic way to motivate tourists to engage in responsible and eco-friendly behavior.(我认为这是一个激励游客参与负责任和环保行为的绝佳方式。)”可知，Maddy Novich对CopenPay持积极态度。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Its effectiveness is demonstrated by a significant 29% increase in bike rentals driven by the program, showing how these rewards can successfully change visitor behavior.(该项目的有效性体现在自行车租赁量显著增长了29%，这表明这些奖励可以成功改变游客的行为。)”可知，CopenPay是一项成功的创新。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“To address the growing concern of overtourism, Copenhagen has launched CopenPay, an innovative program that transforms responsible behavior into currency.(为了解决日益严重的过度旅游问题，哥本哈根推出了CopenPay，这是一个将负责任的行为转化为货币的创新项目。)”和最后一段“In line with Copenhagen’s ambitious goal to become one of the world’s first carbon-neutral capitals, CopenPay demonstrates how cities can turn the challenge of mass tourism into a positive force.(为了实现哥本哈根成为世界上第一个碳中和首都之一的宏伟目标，CopenPay展示了城市如何将大众旅游的挑战转化为积极力量。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲的是解决过度旅游的可持续方案。故选D。 D A hybrid (混合) electric airplane has successfully completed a test flight in Southern California. The flight demonstrated a new type of electric motor (马达) system that uses a special material to make the plane lighter. This reduction in weight allows hybrid planes to fly longer distances. The aircraft, a modified (改装) Cessna 337, uses both a traditional gas engine and an electric motor. The key improvement is a new power control unit, called an inverter, built with silicon carbide (碳化硅). This material is more efficient than the common silicon found in most electronics. Researchers from the University of Arkansas developed this experimental inverter with companies Ampaire and Wolfspeed. The U. S. Department of Energy provided money for the project. The successful test is a big step forward for creating more energy-efficient airplanes. Alan Mantooth, the lead researcher, proudly said, “We were the first university to do this for a hybrid electric aircraft.” So, why is silicon carbide better? Silicon, used in phones and computers, wastes some energy as heat every time it switches on and off. Silicon carbide can switch much faster, which greatly improves efficiency. This high efficiency also means that other parts, like wires and magnetic components, can be made smaller and lighter. For airplanes, where every kilogram counts, this is a major advantage. Chris Farnell, another scientist on the team, gave a simple comparison: “Imagine a race car with a big, heavy engine. What if you could get that same power from something that fits in your hand?” However silicon carbide has been expensive to produce. But as production improves, the cost is going down. The smaller and lighter systems are already attracting car companies because they can make electric vehicles better and cheaper. Building electrical systems for planes is difficult. They must handle strong vibrations (振动), the shock of landing, and changing air conditions. The team’s success proves they can manage these challenges — and in order to push this technology further, the research team will open a new lab this fall to continue studying silicon carbide chips. 12. What is the main purpose of the test flight? A. To modify a traditional Cessna 337. B. To demonstrate silicon’s energy efficiency. C. To check a new inverter system. D. To reduce the cost of airplane production. 13. Why does Chris Farnell mention the race car? A. To compare cars with hybrid planes. B. To show race cars need light engines. C. To prove engines can be made small. D. To explain silicon carbide’s advantages. 14. What do we know about silicon carbide? A. It is attractive to car producers. B. It wastes much energy as heat. C. It is widely used in electric cars. D. It is heavier than common silicon. 15. Which statement will the author probably agree with? A. Electric cars will use plane systems. B. Hybrid planes have replaced gas planes. C. Silicon carbide may reshape transport. D. It is simple to study silicon carbide chips. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种使用碳化硅（silicon carbide）作为新逆变器材料的混合动力电动飞机试飞成功的情况，阐述了碳化硅的优势、应用前景及面临的挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The flight demonstrated a new type of electric motor (马达) system that uses a special material to make the plane lighter.(此次飞行展示了一种新型电动机系统，该系统使用一种特殊材料使飞机更轻。)”和第二段中的“The key improvement is a new power control unit, called an inverter, built with silicon carbide (碳化硅).(关键改进是一个用碳化硅制造的新型电力控制单元，称为逆变器。)”可知，试飞的主要目的是验证这一新型逆变器系统。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Chris Farnell, another scientist on the team, gave a simple comparison: “Imagine a race car with a big, heavy engine. What if you could get that same power from something that fits in your hand?”(克里斯·法内尔举了一个简单的例子：“想象一辆装有大而重引擎的赛车。如果你能从一个放在手里的东西中获得同样的动力会怎样？”)”可知，此例子前文在强调碳化硅的优势（更高效、更小更轻），因此用赛车对比是为了直观解释碳化硅“同样动力下更小更轻”的优势。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The smaller and lighter systems are already attracting car companies because they can make electric vehicles better and cheaper.(更小更轻的系统已经在吸引汽车公司，因为它们可以使电动汽车更好更便宜。)”可知，碳化硅对汽车生产商有吸引力。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The team’s success proves they can manage these challenges — and in order to push this technology further, the research team will open a new lab this fall to continue studying silicon carbide chips.(该团队的成功证明他们有能力应对这些挑战——而为了进一步推动这项技术的发展，该研究团队将于今年秋季开设一个新实验室，继续研究碳化硅芯片。)”以及通读全文可知，碳化硅因高效、轻量的优势，在飞机（混合动力）和汽车（电动）领域均有应用潜力，且研究团队将继续探索其芯片技术。所以选项C（碳化硅可能重塑交通）符合其在多交通领域的应用前景。故选C项。 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。 Life’s journey is rarely smooth. Just like learning to ride a bike — you fall, pick yourself up, and try again—most goals in life come with obstacles. Pursuing dreams like becoming a professional athlete or publishing a book often involves setbacks. But as the saying goes, “____16____.” Failure isn’t the end; it’s a stepping stone to success — if you know how to turn it around. Here are four key ways to transform failure into progress. One key way is to stay positive. A positive mindset helps you accept disappointment and move forward. Recognize that not everyone wins every race or passes every test. ____17____. Another important step is to learn from your failures. ____18____. Instead, they learn from them, analyze what went wrong, spot specific errors, and use these insights to avoid repeating them. Every failure is a lesson that brings you closer to success. ____19____. This means finding joy in what you’re doing — something that drives long-term effort. People who focus on the journey, not just the end result, burn out less easily. So celebrate small wins along the way; this will keep you motivated even when progress feels slow. Lastly, be flexible to turn failure around. Inflexibility holds you back: if one approach fails, don’t hold fast to it. ____20____. Flexibility lets you recover from failure by finding fresh paths to your goal. Remember Thomas Edison’s famous words: I didn’t fail 10,000 times — I found 10,000 ways that didn’t work. Failure is never a sign to quit; it’s a reminder to grow, adjust, and keep going. A. It’s also important to be process-minded B. If you have never failed, you have never lived C. Successful people and businesses don’t avoid failures D. Stay focused on your original goal when facing difficulties E. It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop F. Rethink the problem, explore new solutions, and adapt your plans G. This way of thinking will inspire you to try again instead of giving up 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. C 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何将失败转化为进步，给出了四个关键方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Pursuing dreams like becoming a professional athlete or publishing a book often involves setbacks.(追逐成为职业运动员、出版书籍这类梦想的过程，往往伴随着种种挫折。)”和下文“Failure isn’t the end; it’s a stepping stone to success — if you know how to turn it around.(失败并非终点，而是通往成功的垫脚石——前提是你懂得如何扭转局面。)”可知，空处应该是一个过渡句，说明失败是生活中不可避免的一部分，但并不是坏事。选项B“如果你从未失败过，你就从未真正活过”符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“One key way is to stay positive. A positive mindset helps you accept disappointment and move forward. Recognize that not everyone wins every race or passes every test.(一个关键方法是保持积极心态。积极的心态能帮你接受失意，继续前行。要明白，不是每个人都能赢得每场比赛、通过每次考验。)”可知，空处应该说明这种积极心态的作用。选项G“这种思维方式会激励你再次尝试而不是放弃”符合语境，进一步说明了积极心态的好处。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Another important step is to learn from your failures.(另一个重要的步骤是从失败中学习。)”和下文“Instead, they learn from them, analyze what went wrong, spot specific errors, and use these insights to avoid repeating them.(相反，他们从失败中学习，分析哪里出了问题，找出具体的错误，并利用这些见解来避免重复犯错。)”可知，空处应该是一个过渡句，引出成功人士或企业对待失败的态度。选项C“成功的人和企业不会躲避失败”符合语境。故选C。 【19题详解】 空处为段落主题句。根据下文“This means finding joy in what you’re doing — something that drives long-term effort. People who focus on the journey, not just the end result, burn out less easily.(这意味着在你正在做的事情中找到乐趣——这是驱动长期努力的动力。那些注重过程而不仅仅是结果的人更不容易感到疲惫。)”可知，空处应该是一个主题句，引出注重过程的重要性。选项A“注重过程也很重要”符合语境，起到了引出下文的作用。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Lastly, be flexible to turn failure around. Inflexibility holds you back: if one approach fails, don’t hold fast to it.(最后，要灵活地扭转失败，固执己见会阻碍你前进：如果一种方法失败了，不要坚持它。)”可知，空处应该说明应该怎么做来应对失败。选项F“重新思考问题，探索新的解决方案，并调整你的计划”符合语境，进一步说明了如何灵活地应对失败。故选F。 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入空白处的最佳选项。 Cole Brown and his family own a 100-acre property in northern Maine, where they’ve lived for years without encountering anything out of the ordinary — until one day.

Undoubtedly, modern media brings many benefits. It offers us easy access to a wealth of information and knowledge through videos, apps, and online courses.

At my new school everything felt like an unsolvable puzzle: the winding hallways made me late for class twice, classmates grouped together, chatting about inside jokes that went over my head, and the cafeteria served tuna sandwiches that tasted nothing like my mom’s homemade ones. I’d sit alone at the back table, picking at my food while watching others laugh, hoping someone might wave me over — but no one ever did. Every morning, I got myself out of bed, staring at the unpacked boxes in my room and not looking forward to the day ahead. I’d walk into class, keep my eyes fixed on my desk, and never raise my hand — afraid that if I spoke, everyone would notice how “new” I was and how I didn’t belong. “It’s like I’m standing in a room with the lights off,” I said to my dad over dinner one night. “I just don’t know how to fit here.” School felt endless and lonely — until Dr. V came to the school two weeks later to teach choir (合唱课). Dr. V didn’t make me feel like an outsider. In his first class, he handed me a sheet of folk songs — “Hope you love these,” he said with a smile — and saved a seat near the piano where I could easily follow the music. When the bell rang that Thursday, I stayed behind, folding my sheet music (乐谱) slowly. I didn’t want to head home to our empty living room, where the quiet felt like a reminder that nothing was “normal” yet. The choir room’s double doors were next to the piano, where Dr. V was putting his music stand into a closet. As I walked toward the exit, Dr. V stood up. He didn’t say a word at first — just looking at me as if he could see the loneliness behind my eyes. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Before I could say a quick “goodbye”, Dr. V said to me, “Just a second.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I got home, Dr. V’s words were still ringing in my ears. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Before I could say a “goodbye”, Dr. V said to me, “Just a second.” I looked at him in slight confusion. He stepped closer, leaning in slightly as he continued, “I know it’s hard being the new kid — everything feels unfamiliar. But I’ve been watching you in class. You listen carefully and try your best with the songs.” I was surprised by how much he cared about me, and a long-absent warmth settled in my heart. He paused and then patted my shoulder softly, “You’re doing better than you think. Give this town a little time. It’ll start to feel like yours soon.” When I got home, Dr. V’s words were still ringing in my ears. I pulled the sheet music out of my bag, and I could almost feel the warmth of Dr. V’s words again. When my dad called me for dinner, I smiled — something I hadn’t done much since the move. “School was okay today,” I said, surprising myself. As I ate, my mind wandered to tomorrow’s choir class, and I found myself already looking forward to singing those folk songs. For the first time, the fear of being the newcomer didn’t feel so overwhelming. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者15岁时随父亲搬到纽约一个小镇，在新学校感到孤独无助，难以融入，直到两周后音乐老师Dr. V来到学校教合唱课，他的友好和关怀让作者感受到了温暖，不再觉得自己是局外人。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我还没来得及说声 “再见”，V老师就对我说：“稍等一下。””可知，第一段可描写V老师给予作者的鼓励和安慰以及作者的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“回到家后，V老师的话语依然在我耳边回响。”可知，第二段可描写V老师的话对作者产生的积极影响。 2.续写线索：V老师安慰作者——感到惊喜和温暖——产生积极影响——克服惶恐 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①继续：continue/proceed ②轻拍：pat/tap ③关心：care about/be concerned about 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/amazed ②害怕：fear/dread 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was surprised by how much he cared about me, and a long-absent warmth settled in my heart.（运用了how much引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] When my dad called me for dinner, I smiled — something I hadn’t done much since the move.（运用了when引导时间状语从句，省略了that的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B On October 11, 2025, the Ironman World Championship, one of the planet’s most difficult endurance (耐力) contests, started in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Over 1,600 athletes took part in a grueling test of spirit and body, facing a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a full 26.2-mile marathon run. The intense Hawaiian heat, strong winds, and challenging uphill sections forced sixty competitors to drop out of the race. Yet, against these odds, 80-year-old Natalie Grabow not only finished but also secured her place in history as the oldest woman ever to complete this legendary event. A triathlon (铁人三项) is the ultimate test of endurance, pushing athletes to their limits for hours on end. The Ironman World Championship represents the top level of this sport, known for its extreme difficulty. Natalie, an energetic grandmother, has now completed this challenge an impressive eleven times. Her achievement is even more remarkable considering she didn’t know how to swim until she was 59 years old. Natalie’s athletic journey began long before this record. Growing up in an era when girls were often sidelined as cheerleaders rather than celebrated as athletes, she found her way to sports later in life. She played tennis while raising her children and took up running when she returned to work as a software developer. Her interest in triathlons was inspired by running partners, who believed cross-training helped reduce the risk of injury. Because she was unable to swim, Natalie made an important decision to learn. It was a slow and challenging process, but her determination led to gradual improvement. Her hard work paid off. In 2005, she competed in her first half-Ironman race. By her early sixties, she had qualified for the Ironman World Championship. This year, she tackled the exact same demanding course as every other athlete, under the same tough conditions. As the only participant in her age group, she never entertained the thought of quitting. With steady determination, she conquered the course in 16 hours, 45 minutes, and 26 seconds. 4. What does “grueling” underlined in the first paragraph probably mean? A. tough. B. Quite relaxing. C. Fairly simple. D. Pretty common. 5. What’s special about Natalie’s 2025 Ironman? A. She taught others to swim. B. She dropped out due to heat. C. She won the cheerleader award. D. She was the oldest female finisher. 6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Injury risks of triathlons. B. Cheerleaders’ training methods. C Natalie’s early sports experiences. D. Software developers’ daily work. 7. We can conclude from the text that Natalie ______. A. quit her job to do triathlons B. stuck to goals despite difficulties C. learned swimming in childhood D. relied on others’ help to succeed C To address the growing concern of overtourism, Copenhagen has launched CopenPay, an innovative program that transforms responsible behavior into currency. This initiative encourages visitors to make sustainable (可持续的) choices in exchange for free rewards, allowing them to enjoy the city’s culture while minimizing their environmental impact. Developed by the city’s tourism organization, Wonderful Copenhagen, CopenPay creatively rewards visitors for a range of eco-friendly actions. These include cycling or walking instead of driving, participating in clean-up activities in green spaces or canals, volunteering at urban farms, or choosing plant-based meals. Participants simply show proof of their activities, such as photos or receipts, to claim their rewards. Notably, the program operates on a trust-based honor system, reflecting Denmark’s deeply rooted culture of trustworthiness. The initiative features participation from over 90 local partners who offer a diverse range of rewards. For instance, collecting trash can earn a free boat tour with Green Kayak, an environmental organization, where participants might gather several kilos of waste, turning sightseeing into a meaningful environmental action. Cycling to a museum like the National Gallery could be rewarded with a free coffee, while helping with weeding at an organic urban farm might secure a free drink. The program also actively promotes low-carbon travel — visitors who arrive by train instead of plane receive free bike rentals through a partner app. Maddy Novich, a visitor from New York City, participated in the CopenPay program. “I think it’s a fantastic way to motivate tourists to engage in responsible and eco-friendly behavior,” said Novich. “I especially love that it encourages people to visit less well-known places like the beer garden with trash-picking activities, which might otherwise be missed. It definitely makes me more mindful of how I move through urban spaces as a guest.” Copenhagen’s well-developed bike network and widespread recycling habits provide a perfect groundwork for such a program. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by a significant 29% increase in bike rentals driven by the program, showing how these rewards can successfully change visitor behavior. In line with Copenhagen’s ambitious goal to become one of the world’s first carbon-neutral (碳中和) capitals, CopenPay demonstrates how cities can turn the challenge of mass tourism into a positive force. 8. What does CopenPay encourage visitors to do? A. Live on local farms. B. Drive less and cycle more. C. Collect trash for money. D. Take more scenery photos. 9. What is Maddy Novich’s attitude to CopenPay? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Critical. D. Uninterested. 10. What can we learn about CopenPay? A. It’s run by Green Kayak. B. It’s a successful innovation. C. It’s too complex to operate. D. It’s limited to local residents. 11. What’s the text mainly about? A. Copenhagen’s rise in bike rentals. B. Ways to get free rewards in Denmark. C. Green Kayak’s environmental actions. D. A sustainable solution to overtourism. D A hybrid (混合) electric airplane has successfully completed a test flight in Southern California. The flight demonstrated a new type of electric motor (马达) system that uses a special material to make the plane lighter. This reduction in weight allows hybrid planes to fly longer distances. The aircraft, a modified (改装的) Cessna 337, uses both a traditional gas engine and an electric motor. The key improvement is a new power control unit, called an inverter, built with silicon carbide (碳化硅). This material is more efficient than the common silicon found in most electronics. Researchers from the University of Arkansas developed this experimental inverter with companies Ampaire and Wolfspeed. The U. S. Department of Energy provided money for the project. The successful test is a big step forward for creating more energy-efficient airplanes. Alan Mantooth, the lead researcher, proudly said, “We were the first university to do this for a hybrid electric aircraft.” So, why is silicon carbide better? Silicon, used in phones and computers, wastes some energy as heat every time it switches on and off. Silicon carbide can switch much faster, which greatly improves efficiency. This high efficiency also means that other parts, like wires and magnetic components, can be made smaller and lighter. For airplanes, where every kilogram counts, this is a major advantage. Chris Farnell, another scientist on the team, gave a simple comparison: “Imagine a race car with a big, heavy engine. What if you could get that same power from something that fits in your hand?” However, silicon carbide has been expensive to produce. But as production improves, the cost is going down. The smaller and lighter systems are already attracting car companies because they can make electric vehicles better and cheaper. Building electrical systems for planes is difficult. They must handle strong vibrations (振动), the shock of landing, and changing air conditions. The team’s success proves they can manage these challenges — and in order to push this technology further, the research team will open a new lab this fall to continue studying silicon carbide chips. 12. What is the main purpose of the test flight? A. To modify a traditional Cessna 337. B. To demonstrate silicon’s energy efficiency. C. To check a new inverter system. D. To reduce the cost of airplane production. 13. Why does Chris Farnell mention the race car? A. To compare cars with hybrid planes. B. To show race cars need light engines. C. To prove engines can be made small. D. To explain silicon carbide’s advantages. 14. What do we know about silicon carbide? A. It is attractive to car producers. B. It wastes much energy as heat. C. It is widely used in electric cars. D. It is heavier than common silicon. 15. Which statement will the author probably agree with? A. Electric cars will use plane systems. B. Hybrid planes have replaced gas planes. C. Silicon carbide may reshape transport. D. It is simple to study silicon carbide chips. 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。 Life’s journey is rarely smooth. Just like learning to ride a bike — you fall, pick yourself up, and try again—most goals in life come with obstacles. Pursuing dreams like becoming a professional athlete or publishing a book often involves setbacks. But as the saying goes, “____16____.” Failure isn’t the end; it’s a stepping stone to success — if you know how to turn it around. Here are four key ways to transform failure into progress. One key way is to stay positive. A positive mindset helps you accept disappointment and move forward. Recognize that not everyone wins every race or passes every test. ____17____. Another important step is to learn from your failures. ____18____. Instead, they learn from them, analyze what went wrong, spot specific errors, and use these insights to avoid repeating them. Every failure is a lesson that brings you closer to success. ____19____. This means finding joy in what you’re doing — something that drives long-term effort. People who focus on the journey, not just the end result, burn out less easily. So celebrate small wins along the way; this will keep you motivated even when progress feels slow. Lastly, be flexible to turn failure around. Inflexibility holds you back: if one approach fails, don’t hold fast to it. ____20____. Flexibility lets you recover from failure by finding fresh paths to your goal. Remember Thomas Edison’s famous words: I didn’t fail 10,000 times — I found 10,000 ways that didn’t work. Failure is never a sign to quit; it’s a reminder to grow, adjust, and keep going. A. It’s also important to be process-minded B. If you have never failed, you have never lived C. Successful people and businesses don’t avoid failures D. Stay focused on your original goal when facing difficulties E. It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop F. Rethink the problem, explore new solutions, and adapt your plans G. This way of thinking will inspire you to try again instead of giving up 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入空白处的最佳选项。 Cole Brown and his family own a 100-acre property in northern Maine, where they’ve lived for years without encountering anything out of the ordinary — until one day.

At my new school, everything felt like an unsolvable puzzle: the winding hallways made me late for class twice, classmates grouped together, chatting about inside jokes that went over my head, and the cafeteria served tuna sandwiches that tasted nothing like my mom’s homemade ones. I’d sit alone at the back table, picking at my food while watching others laugh, hoping someone might wave me over — but no one ever did. Every morning, I got myself out of bed, staring at the unpacked boxes in my room and not looking forward to the day ahead. I’d walk into class, keep my eyes fixed on my desk, and never raise my hand — afraid that if I spoke, everyone would notice how “new” I was and how I didn’t belong. “It’s like I’m standing in a room with the lights off,” I said to my dad over dinner one night. “I just don’t know how to fit here.” School felt endless and lonely — until Dr. V came to the school two weeks later to teach choir (合唱课). Dr. V didn’t make me feel like an outsider. In his first class, he handed me a sheet of folk songs — “Hope you love these,” he said with a smile — and saved a seat near the piano where I could easily follow the music. When the bell rang that Thursday, I stayed behind, folding my sheet music (乐谱) slowly. I didn’t want to head home to our empty living room, where the quiet felt like a reminder that nothing was “normal” yet. The choir room’s double doors were next to the piano, where Dr. V was putting his music stand into a closet. As I walked toward the exit, Dr. V stood up. He didn’t say a word at first — just looking at me as if he could see the loneliness behind my eyes. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Before I could say a quick “goodbye”, Dr. V said to me, “Just a second.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I got home, Dr. V’s words were still ringing in my ears. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
