Four Famous Horse Racing Jockeys(骑师) in the World
Ruby Walsh
Ruby Walsh, whose father was an Irish jockey, showed early promise. He won the Irish amateur title twice before going professional. At 20, he made history by winning the English Grand National on his first attempt in 2000.
Walsh had a really successful career with lots of praise and honours. He became the Irish Jump Jockey champion twelve times. Between 2004 and 2017, he dominated the Cheltenham Festival with 59 wins, the most ever, and claimed the leading rider's award 11times.

When Sara Weaner Cooper and her husband bought their first home in Pennsylvania,they didn't want a neat, plain lawn(草坪)like the neighbours. They wanted a wild, living garden full ofdifferent plants and animals.
It was a brave idea, to be sure, considering it involved changing their entire lawn when they were new to the neighbourhood. Thankfully, Weaner Cooper had ideal support for the project-her father is Larry Weaner, a famous ecological landscape designer. The landscape design style he uses relies mainly on native plants, aiming to work with how they want to grow rather than forcing them into particular areas.
Weaner Cooper had always wanted to focus on native plants in her lawn and do less lawn-cutting, so rewilding their front lawn felt like the right but tough move. The lawn gets full sunlight and covers more than 1,500 square metres. It was planted with narrow-leaved grass to look uniform, so they needed to replace it before turning the area into a natural meadow(草地). It was a great challenge. Instead of tearing out all the grass and looking at an ugly brown yard for months, they planted native seeds and small plants right into the lawn and hoped the new plants would slowly push the grass out.
It tookabout two years, lots of planning, some careful weeding, and some trial and error, but eventually a mix of waist-high native plant species blanketed their vast front lawn.
"Meadowscaping", or turning a traditional lawn into a meadow, is a fast-growing trend experts in the field are noticing, especially among younger generations who tend to be more climate-aware. Compared to lawns, meadows-open landscapes filled with various
non-woody plants such as tall grasses, flowers and herbs-are less expensive to maintain,require less water and energy and help sequester more CO2. Most importantly, they also encourage biodiversity and they're typically more appealing to pollinators(传粉者),which are keystone species on which ecosystems depend.
24.What conclusion can we draw about Larry Weaner's landscape design philosophy?
A. He believes in controlling plant growth strictly.
B. He values artificial appearance over natural growth.
C. He considers lawns better than meadows for biodiversity.
D. He advocates for harmonizing with nature.
25.What was the primary challenge when the Coopers transformed their lawn?
A. Lack of support from neighbours.
B. The large-sized and uniform grass.
C. Insufficient knowledge of native plants.
D. High costs of ecological landscape design.
26.What does the underlined word “sequester" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Absorb. B.Release. C.Fix. D.Detect.
27.What is the main benefit of “meadowscaping" according to the text?
A.Promoting biodiversity. B. Attracting more insects.
C.Increasing property values. D. Reducing cutting frequency.
C
In the olden days nightmares(噩梦)were thought to take away the dreamer's life-energy. Today we know there are no bad spirits, but nightmares can still hurt your health.Almost everyone has nightmares. But it is among those who have them weekly-somewhere betwween 2% and 6% of the population-that connections with ill-health seem to arise. Some links are to be expected.
Depression, anxiety, and stress disorder, for example, all have nightmares as a common symptom. The same goes for long-standing pain. But other connections are hard to understand.
Abidemi Otaiku is a professor at Imperial College London. His most recent work,presented in June at a conference in Helsinki, shows that frequent nightmares are stronger predictors of early death than smoking, being very overweight or poor diet. Dr Otaiku reached this conclusion by analyzing six long-term studies from America and Britain,involving more than 180,000 adults and almost 2,500 children. Those with frequent (at least weekly) nightmares were three times more likely to die before the age of 70 than,those who had them less than once a month. Out of 174 people who died prematurely, 31 had frequent nightmares.
He found that people who often have nightmares seem to have older-looking chromosomes(染色体),probably because bad dreams raise stress. These chromosome changes might explain about 40% of their higher chance of dying early. Where the other 60% comes from is unknown.
All of these suggest paying attention to nightmares is a good idea. Where they are a symptom, they can warn of trouble ahead. And where they are a cause, treatments to reduce nightmares can be undertaken as a priority.
Treating nightmares is harder than spotting them. And certain drugs, such as prazosin (ordinarily used to treat high blood pressure), may assist. But the study of nightmares remains an underexplored field of medicine. That needs to change.
28.What did people long ago think about nightmares?
A. They were harmful to health.
B. They stole life-energy at night.
C.They were signs of early death.
D. They were common among people.
29.What can we know from Dr Otaiku's research?
A.Smoking is more dangerous than frequent nightmares.
B.Premature death is mainly caused by frequent nightmares.
C. Children are more likely to have frequent nightmares than adults.
D.Frequent nightmares may have a serious effect on people's health.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the study of nightmares?
A.Prazosin is a proven cure for nightmares.
B. Nightmares lead to high blood pressure.
C.It requires more attention and research.
D. It has made great progress in curing nightmares.
31.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Nightmares: A Hidden Health Warning
B. The Current Treatments for Nightmares
C.Nightmares: A Fully-Resolved Medical Issue
D.The Historical Beliefs About Nightmares
D
We live in a society that's crazy about winning. Gold medals, bestseller lists,championships, and Nobel Prizes are the markers of honour. The spotlight shines brightest on the people who crossed the finishing line first, while those who came close slip into the shadows.
But the “almosts” shouldn't be overlooked. The runner who loses by a second, the inventor with a mistimed idea, and the poet whose words gain significance later all contribute significantly. Their efforts often shape the world in ways we only notice later.They're not failures; instead, they test boundaries and sometimes drive society forward more than celebrated victors.
Nikola Tesla, a genius overshadowed by Thomas Edison in his lifetime, had brave visions like wireless power. He died poor, yet his innovations are everywhere in our daily lives. Emily Dickinson's poems were ignored during her life but later revolutionized.American poetry. Katherine Johnson, a NASA mathematician, made spaceflight possible,but her work was unrecognized for decades. These "almosts" show that falling short doesn't mean lacking impact.
Pioneers who break new ground often don't get the honour. Rosalind Franklin's X-ray images of DNA were crucial for a major scientific discovery, but Watson and Crick received the Nobel Prize. Vincent van Gogh sold only one painting in his life and struggled with poverty. His fame and the value of his work rose dramatically only after his death.Athletes who change training standards, activists who plant seeds of change, and musicians who influence future generations are all “almosts” who clear the path for others.
When we recognize the “almosts”, we redefine winning. It's about the courage to try,slip up, and keep going. The runner who takes silver comes back stronger. Small-business founders may fail first but rise with a game-changing idea. Artists who weren't celebrated in their time often touch souls later.
The “almosts” remind us that success is about daring to start. Effort is valuable even without applause, and struggle has meaning. Most of us are "almosts” in some areas of life. Though few reach first place, we all matter. The "almosts" exist between being unknown and becoming famous, quietly pushing the world forward.
32.What social phenomenon does Paragraph 1 present?
A. Last-place finishers gain no public attention at all.
B. Society punishes those who fail to win competitions.
C. Traditional honour symbols have lost their original value.
D.Near-winners are overlooked in a victory-consumed society.
33. Why are “almosts” important to society?
A. They set examples of how to avoid failure in life.
B. Their efforts push society forward in various fields.
C. They always win awards in the end with their efforts.
D. They are more creative than those who win first places.
34.What does the author propose as a more meaningful definition of “winning”?
A. Achieving fame and public recognition.
B. Becoming the one to achieve a great discovery.
C. Leaving an everlasting mark that shines brightly.
D. Being brave to attempt, make mistakes and keep going.
35. What is the author's attitude towards the “almosts”?
A.Dismissive. B.Disappointed. C.Appreciative. D.Doubtful.
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。
Listening is an art. It requires us to be patient, receptive, open-minded, and non-judgmental. Then how can we master the art of listening?
Make eye contact.
36 If you don't look at the person while they'respeaking, you give them the impression that you don't care what they say. Basically, it appears as though you don't even care about them.
Don't interrupt.
Let the person speak uninterrupted. To master the art of listening you need to stop any good thoughts that come to mind and let the person say everything they need to say.Often people simply need someone to talk to, not someone who will interrupt and give their own thoughts and opinions. 37
Show you understand.
One great way to show that you understand what the person is telling you is to nod.You can also make noises that show you're in tune with what the person is saying such as “yes”,"yeah”, or "okay.” 38 Show some interest and make them know you get it.
Listen without judgment.
To effectively master the art of listening, it's extremely important to keep back any negative evaluations or judgments. 39 After all, who wants to open up to a narrow-minded person? It also helps to be mindful of your “shut off” triggers(触发器),which are the specific words, looks, or situations that cause you to stop listening. This way, you can prevent yourself from shutting off in the future.
Listen to non-verbal communication.
About 60-75% of our communication is non-verbal. That's a lot! In order to know whether to encourage the speaker, to open yourself more, or to be more supportive in your approach, it's essential to know what the person's body is saying. 40 Are they on guard against you? Do their actions match their words?
A. Do they display signs of discomfort?
B. This rule is very obvious but frequently forgotten.
C. The goal is to shine the spotlight on them, not you.
D.Do you need to listen to everyone deeply all the time?
E.This may seem unimportant, but don't be like a walking dead.
F. Make it your objective to be open-minded as much as possible.
G. Try to guess what they are thinking based on your own experiences.

The number of green turtles in the wild has increased thanks to years of effort to protect the species. Conservationists gathered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates,earlier this month 56 (discuss) challenges and also celebrate successes.
The meeting was organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). IUCN is 57 group of experts and leaders who produce a report 58 (call)the Red List, which records the extinction risk of animals and plants. More than 48,600species are 59 (current) threatened with extinction. Green turtles 60 (classify)as “endangered" but are now in the lower-risk category of “least concern". This is because their numbers have increased 61 more than a quarter (28%) since the 1970s thanks to the work of conservationists. This included releasing baby turtles into the sea, protecting 62 (egg) and educating people not to hunt the animals.

when we act with determination".

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。
Lily and Emma sat behind their table at the community square, with a big poster reading "Handmade Crafts for Charity!" The neighbourhood was holding a summer fair to raise money for the local animal shelter, and the two girls decided to sell their crafts to help the homeless pets.
Emma, whose mum owned a craft store, brought boxes of coloured paper,ribbons(丝带),glue guns and colourful string. Lily, who had loved drawing since childhood,prepared notebooks, markers, watercolours and small wooden boards. They had already made a few items-paper flowers and simple doodles(涂鸦)-but Lily felt discouraged.“Your paper crafts look so neat," Lily said to Emma, watching her fold a paper bird perfectly. She held up her own wooden keychain with a lopsided(倾斜的)cat drawing and sighed. "Mine looks like a messed-up cloud, not a cat!" she whispered. Emma smiled,tapping the keychain gently. “It's cute in its own way-kids will love the funany look,”she said confidently.
Just then, Lily tried to glue a ribbon onto a paper bag to make a gift bag. The glue flowed out everywhere, ruining the bag. "See? I can't even do simple things right!" she said angrily, dropping the glue gun. Emma leaned over, wiping the extra glue with a tissue. “Let's try together-you hold the ribbon, and I'll apply the glue," she suggested.Lily nodded, but her hands shook, and the ribbon slipped again. Her eyes were filled with tears."I'm useless at this!" she said, pushing the table slightly. Emma put her hand on Lily's shoulder. “Everyone has tough starts. Remember when you taught me to draw a sun? I kept making it a circle with lines-you never gave up on me.”
Before Lily could reply, a little girl ran over with her mum. “Mommy, I want that cat keychain!"she pointed at Lily's creation.
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。
Lily stared in shock.
When the fair ended, they raised $200 for the shelter.
