Sportsmanship: Beyond Victory and Defeat
The Paris Olympic Games witnessed not only thrilling competitions but also touching moments that perfectly interpreted the true spirit of sports. Beyond the pursuit of medals, athletes showed respect, kindness and unity, which made the sports event more meaningful.
He Bingjiao, a Chinese badminton player, left a deep impression on people with her graceful behavior. In the women’s singles semi-final, her opponent, Carolina Marin from Spain, got injured and had to withdraw from the competition. Although He Bingjiao advanced to the final and finally won the silver medal, she didn’t forget her rival. During the award ceremony, she held a Spanish Olympic Committee badge in her hand to express her concern and respect for Marin. This small gesture won widespread praise from the international media and sports circles. Marin later responded that she was deeply moved by this kind act and would always be grateful.
Similar warm scenes also appeared in the table tennis competition. In the women’s singles semi-final, Sun Yingsha from China defeated Hina Hayata from Japan 4-0. Throughout the game, Hayata wore protective gear on her wrist and forearm due to injury, but she still tried her best to play well. After the game, Sun Yingsha took the initiative to care about Hayata’s injury. She said, “Athletes who can enter the semi-finals are all very strong. No one wants to get injured. I hope she can recover soon.” Their interaction showed that although they were competitors on the court, they were friends off the court.
These stories tell us that sportsmanship is not just about winning or losing. It is about respecting opponents, caring for others, and maintaining a positive attitude in the face of competition. It is this spirit that connects athletes from all over the world and makes sports a bridge for cultural exchange and friendship.

【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“The Paris Olympic Games witnessed not only thrilling competitions but also touching moments that perfectly interpreted the true spirit of sports.(巴黎奥运会不仅见证了激动人心的比赛,还见证了完美……体育真正精神的感人时刻)”以及后文通过具体事例阐述运动员们展现出的尊重、友善等体育精神可知,interpreted在此处意为“解释;展示”,即这些感人时刻完美地诠释了体育的真正精神。故选A项。

Space Debris: A Growing Threat to Space Exploration
Space debris, also known as space junk, refers to non-functional human-made objects orbiting Earth, including defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, collision fragments, and even tiny items like lost astronaut tools. Since the first artificial satellite launch in 1957, space debris has accumulated rapidly, posing a severe threat to space activities.
According to the European Space Agency (ESA), there are over 15,100 tonnes of space debris orbiting Earth, with around 43,500 objects larger than 10 cm tracked regularly. Millions of smaller fragments (1-10 cm) and billions of micro-debris (less than 1 cm) also exist. These debris travel at speeds up to 7-10 km per second — ten times faster than a bullet — enabling even tiny pieces to damage spacecraft or satellites.
The risks are escalating with frequent space launches. Collisions between debris can trigger a “fragmentation cascade,” creating more junk. To address this, global efforts are underway: ESA has adopted a “zero debris approach,” while international guidelines require satellites to deorbit within 5 years after retirement. However, no universal laws mandate debris cleanup yet.
As space exploration advances, protecting Earth’s orbit has become a shared responsibility. Only global cooperation can mitigate this growing threat and secure the future of space missions.
8. What is the definition of space debris?
A. Natural objects orbiting Earth
B. Functional satellites and rockets
C. Non-functional human-made objects in Earth’s orbit
D. Micro-meteoroids from outer space
9. Why are small space debris pieces dangerous?
A. They are hard to track by ESA
B. They travel at extremely high speeds
C. They can trigger satellite malfunctions indirectly
D. They outnumber large debris by millions
10. What is ESA’s measure to deal with space debris?
A Launching more tracking satellites
B. Adopting a “zero debris approach”
C. Making strict international laws
D. Collecting debris with astronaut teams
11. What is the author’s attitude towards solving the space debris problem?
A. Pessimistic B. Indifferent C. Optimistic D. Doubtful
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了太空垃圾对太空探索的威胁及应对措施。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Space debris, also known as space junk, refers to non-functional human-made objects orbiting Earth(太空垃圾,又称太空碎片,是指环绕地球运行的无功能人造物体)”可知,太空垃圾的定义是环绕地球运行的无功能人造物体。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“These debris travel at speeds up to 7-10 km per second — ten times faster than a bullet — enabling even tiny pieces to damage spacecraft or satellites.(这些碎片的速度高达每秒7-10公里,比子弹快十倍,即使是微小的碎片也能损坏航天器或卫星。)”可知,小太空垃圾碎片之所以危险,是因为它们以极高的速度飞行。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“To address this, global efforts are underway: ESA has adopted a “zero debris approach,”(为了解决这个问题,全球正在努力:欧洲航天局采取了“零碎片方法”)”可知,欧洲航天局应对太空垃圾的措施是采取“零碎片方法”。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As space exploration advances, protecting Earth’s orbit has become a shared responsibility. Only global cooperation can mitigate this growing threat and secure the future of space missions.(随着太空探索的进步,保护地球轨道已成为一项共同责任。只有全球合作才能减轻这一日益增长的威胁,确保太空任务的未来。)”可知,作者认为只有全球合作才能减轻太空垃圾的威胁,确保太空任务的未来,因此作者对解决太空垃圾问题的态度是乐观的。故选C。

TikTok’s Foray into Long-Form Videos
Once synonymous with 15-second clips, TikTok, the global version of Douyin, is stepping into the long-form video arena by testing 15-minute content, marking a significant shift in its content strategy. This move comes after gradual extensions from 15 seconds to 1 minute and then 5 minutes, reflecting the platform’s response to evolving market demands.
The core drivers behind this update are multi-faceted. To meet users’ growing demand for in-depth content, 15-minute videos enable creators to produce complex works like film reviews, short dramas, and educational tutorials that short clips can hardly accommodate. It also boosts user engagement by offering immersive stories, strengthening stickiness. Additionally, this expansion helps TikTok compete with rivals — both short-video platforms like Kuaishou and long-video giants like YouTube — while unlocking new monetization avenues through more ad insertion space.
However, challenges accompany opportunities. The longer format raises creation thresholds, making it harder for casual users to produce quality content. It also increases review burdens and operational costs for the platform. For users accustomed to quick, fragmented entertainment, lengthy videos may cause fatigue.
This shift blurs the line between short and long videos, a trend sweeping the industry. As TikTok balances its short-video essence with long-form diversity, it aims to build a more comprehensive content ecosystem, reshaping how creators create and users consume video content.
12. What is the original video duration of TikTok when it was first launched?
A. 15 seconds. B. 1 minute. C. 5 minutes. D. 15 minutes.
13. Which of the following is NOT a reason for TikTok to launch 15-minute videos?
A. Meeting the need for in-depth content. B. Reducing operational costs.
C. Enhancing market competitiveness. D. Exploring new monetization (盈利变现) ways.
14. What challenge does TikTok face with the long-form video update?
A. Higher creation barriers for casual users. B. Lack of audience interest.
C. Decreased user engagement. D. Loss of short-video creators.
15. What trend is mentioned in the passage regarding the video industry?
A. Short videos will replace long videos.
B. Creators prefer short videos over long ones.
C. Long-video platforms will quit the market.
D. The boundary between short and long videos is fading.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了TikTok进军长视频领域的原因、挑战及行业趋势。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Once synonymous with 15-second clips, TikTok, the global version of Douyin, is stepping into the long-form video arena by testing 15-minute content, marking a significant shift in its content strategy.(TikTok是抖音的全球版,曾经是15秒视频的代名词,如今它正在通过测试15分钟的内容进军长视频领域,这标志着其内容战略的重大转变。)”可知,TikTok最初推出时的视频时长为15秒。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The core drivers behind this update are multi-faceted. To meet users’ growing demand for in-depth content,15-minute videos enable creators to produce complex works like film reviews, short dramas, and educational tutorials that short clips can hardly accommodate. It also boosts user engagement by offering immersive stories, strengthening stickiness. Additionally, this expansion helps TikTok compete with rivals — both short-video platforms like Kuaishou and long-video giants like YouTube — while unlocking new monetization avenues through more ad insertion space.(这次更新的核心驱动力是多方面的。为了满足用户对深度内容日益增长的需求,15分钟的视频使创作者能够制作出电影评论、短剧和教育教程等复杂作品,而这些是短视频难以容纳的。它还通过提供沉浸式故事来提高用户参与度,增强用户粘性。此外,这一扩展有助于TikTok与竞争对手竞争,包括快手等短视频平台和YouTube等长视频巨头,同时通过更多的广告插入空间开辟新的盈利途径。)”可知,TikTok推出15分钟视频的原因包括满足用户对深度内容的需求、增强市场竞争力以及探索新的盈利途径,并未提及降低运营成本。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The longer format raises creation thresholds, making it harder for casual users to produce quality content.(更长的格式提高了创作门槛,使得普通用户更难制作出高质量的内容。)”可知,TikTok在长视频更新方面面临的挑战是普通用户的创作门槛提高。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This shift blurs the line between short and long videos, a trend sweeping the industry.(这一转变模糊了短视频和长视频之间的界限,这一趋势正在席卷整个行业。)”可知,文章提到的视频行业趋势是短视频和长视频之间的界限正在模糊。故选D。

【16题详解】
根据前文“Procrastination has become a widespread issue among high school students. From delaying homework to putting off exam review, this habit is common in campus life.(拖延症已经成为高中生中一个普遍的问题。从拖延作业到推迟复习考试,这种习惯在校园生活中很常见。)”和后文“It not only affects academic performance but also stops personal growth, making it urgent to address.(它不仅影响学业成绩,还阻碍了个人的成长,因此亟待解决。)”可推知,空缺处应承接“拖延症普遍”这一话题,说明拖延症带来的不良结果,G项“If they don’t fix it, students will miss learning chances.(如果他们不加以解决,学生们将会错失学习的机会。)”符合语境,能够自然衔接上下文,故选G。
【17题详解】
根据前文“The harms of procrastination are obvious. Firstly, it reduces study efficiency—rushing tasks at the last minute leads to shallow understanding and careless work.(拖延症的危害是显而易见的。首先,它会降低学习效率——在最后一刻匆忙完成任务会导致理解肤浅和工作粗心。)”可推知,此处讲述了第一个危害,因此推断空缺处应继续补充拖延症的危害,F项“Procrastination also makes students not rest well.(拖延症也会让学生休息不好。)”中的“also”承接前文的“Firstly”,符合“分点阐述危害”的逻辑;与后文“Secondly, it causes mental stress...(其次,它会造成精神压力……)”和“Over time, it may form a bad cycle that’s hard to break.(久而久之,它可能会形成一个难以打破的恶性循环。)” 衔接合理。故选F。
【18题详解】
空缺处应是本段的中心句,根据后文“Start by breaking big tasks into small, manageable steps to reduce overwhelm. Setting clear daily goals and making a study schedule also helps stay on track. Additionally, eliminating distractions like smartphones while studying boosts focus. Helping each other with classmates makes changing easier.(首先,将大任务分解成小而易于管理的步骤,以减轻压力。设定明确的每日目标并制定学习计划也有助于保持正轨。此外,在学习时排除诸如智能手机之类的干扰因素能提高专注力。与同学互相帮助会让改变更容易实现。)”可知,本段讲述克服拖延症的方法,D项“Beating procrastination needs simple study methods.(克服拖延症需要简单的学习方法。)”能够概括本段核心内容,作为中心句引出下文的具体方法,故选D。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Overcoming procrastination needs self-discipline and persistence.(克服拖延需要自律和坚持。)”可知,本段讲述拖延症的克服自律和坚持,后文 “Teachers and parents can offer guidance, but the key is teenagers’ own willingness to change.(老师和家长可以提供指导,但关键是青少年自己愿意改变。)”讲述尽管老师和家长能够给予帮助,也需要自己愿意改变才可以做到,因此推知A项“Many students stay up late to review for exams they could have prepared earlier.(很多学生本可以早点准备,却熬夜复习考试。)”与上下文衔接自然,用具体例子说明拖延带来的现实问题。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据下文“Breaking this habit paves the way for teenagers’ academic progress and personal development, preparing them for a brighter future.(打破这个习惯为青少年的学业进步和个人发展铺平了道路,为他们更光明的未来做准备。)”可推知,空缺处应是全文的总结句,总结拖延症的负面影响,呼应文章主旨,E项“In conclusion, procrastination is a barrier to success.(总之,拖延症是成功的障碍。)”中的“In conclusion”明确表示总结,且贴合“克服拖延症很重要”的主旨,能够自然衔接后文的总结性表述,故选E。

Rural revitalization has become a shared vision across China, bringing great changes to the countryside. Last summer, I visited a mountain village. Solar panels on houses provided clean energy, and a digital platform helped farmers sell organic produce directly to cities, increasing their income. Old buildings were turned into homestays, attracting tourists. This revitalization boosted the local economy, created jobs, and preserved traditional crafts like bamboo weaving. Environmentally, clean energy reduced pollution.
As young people, we can raise awareness about rural development, use our skills to help farmers, and participate in volunteer activities. We should actively contribute to building a better countryside.

47. 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。
Sitting at the dinner table, then-12-year-old Frank listened as his sister Talia, who was only one year older, shared her news from the day. Their school in Kanambu, a small village in Ecuador’s Amazon Rainforest, won first place in WE’s Clean Schools Program — and Talia led the way.
As Talia recounted how she tended the school garden and taught classmates to keep the bathroom tidy, pride shone on their parents’ faces. Frank decided then and there to follow in her footsteps — to lead the school movement and fight pollution and other environmental problems threatening their community.
WE Villages launched the Clean Schools Program in five communities in the Amazon, to encourage students to take action on health, hygiene and protecting the environment. The program holds end-of-year competitions where one school is crowned winner (加冕冠军), Talia, now in Grade 10, led Kanambu to its first-place this year.
For those in Kanambu, the program came at just the right time. The young community’s population had ballooned in recent years, growing from a few families to hundreds of people. That growth brought a lot of good — a road, electricity for the school and clean, piped water. But it’s also brought challenges in the form of garbage, waste and pollution.
Looking at the scattered (零散的) garbage and the two-story classrooms to the towering wall of trees, Frank was determined to fix the problems. As a side benefit, he hoped to compete with his sister. Frank had an idea, but he needed help. He persuaded his father to help solve one of the school’s most pressing problems: No one had any garbage cans. The closest town recently started sending garbage collectors to Kanambu, but without garbage cans, there was nothing to pick up. Frank wanted to build natural, durable containers out of bamboo for all to use.

The environment became cleaner and he was really proud to see full garbage cans picked up and sent to the nearby town to be dealt with. As for the competition, Frank finished third this year. He was determined to carry on the competition and for him, there’s always next year.

Sportsmanship: Beyond Victory and Defeat
The Paris Olympic Games witnessed not only thrilling competitions but also touching moments that perfectly interpreted the true spirit of sports. Beyond the pursuit of medals, athletes showed respect, kindness and unity, which made the sports event more meaningful.
He Bingjiao, a Chinese badminton player, left a deep impression on people with her graceful behavior. In the women’s singles semi-final, her opponent, Carolina Marin from Spain, got injured and had to withdraw from the competition. Although He Bingjiao advanced to the final and finally won the silver medal, she didn’t forget her rival. During the award ceremony, she held a Spanish Olympic Committee badge in her hand to express her concern and respect for Marin. This small gesture won widespread praise from the international media and sports circles. Marin later responded that she was deeply moved by this kind act and would always be grateful.
Similar warm scenes also appeared in the table tennis competition. In the women’s singles semi-final, Sun Yingsha from China defeated Hina Hayata from Japan 4-0. Throughout the game, Hayata wore protective gear on her wrist and forearm due to injury, but she still tried her best to play well. After the game, Sun Yingsha took the initiative to care about Hayata’s injury. She said, “Athletes who can enter the semi-finals are all very strong. No one wants to get injured. I hope she can recover soon.” Their interaction showed that although they were competitors on the court, they were friends off the court.
These stories tell us that sportsmanship is not just about winning or losing. It is about respecting opponents, caring for others, and maintaining a positive attitude in the face of competition. It is this spirit that connects athletes from all over the world and makes sports a bridge for cultural exchange and friendship.

Space Debris: A Growing Threat to Space Exploration
Space debris, also known as space junk, refers to non-functional human-made objects orbiting Earth, including defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, collision fragments, and even tiny items like lost astronaut tools. Since the first artificial satellite launch in 1957, space debris has accumulated rapidly, posing a severe threat to space activities.
According to the European Space Agency (ESA), there are over 15,100 tonnes of space debris orbiting Earth, with around 43,500 objects larger than 10 cm tracked regularly. Millions of smaller fragments (1-10 cm) and billions of micro-debris (less than 1 cm) also exist. These debris travel at speeds up to 7-10 km per second — ten times faster than a bullet — enabling even tiny pieces to damage spacecraft or satellites.
The risks are escalating with frequent space launches. Collisions between debris can trigger a “fragmentation cascade,” creating more junk. To address this, global efforts are underway: ESA has adopted a “zero debris approach,” while international guidelines require satellites to deorbit within 5 years after retirement. However, no universal laws mandate debris cleanup yet.
As space exploration advances, protecting Earth’s orbit has become a shared responsibility. Only global cooperation can mitigate this growing threat and secure the future of space missions.
8. What is the definition of space debris?
A. Natural objects orbiting Earth
B. Functional satellites and rockets
C. Non-functional human-made objects in Earth’s orbit
D. Micro-meteoroids from outer space
9. Why are small space debris pieces dangerous?
A. They are hard to track by ESA
B. They travel at extremely high speeds
C. They can trigger satellite malfunctions indirectly
D. They outnumber large debris by millions
10. What is ESA’s measure to deal with space debris?
A. Launching more tracking satellites
B. Adopting a “zero debris approach”
C. Making strict international laws
D. Collecting debris with astronaut teams
11. What is the author’s attitude towards solving the space debris problem?
A. Pessimistic B. Indifferent C. Optimistic D. Doubtful
D
TikTok’s Foray into Long-Form Videos
Once synonymous with 15-second clips, TikTok, the global version of Douyin, is stepping into the long-form video arena by testing 15-minute content, marking a significant shift in its content strategy. This move comes after gradual extensions from 15 seconds to 1 minute and then 5 minutes, reflecting the platform’s response to evolving market demands.
The core drivers behind this update are multi-faceted. To meet users’ growing demand for in-depth content, 15-minute videos enable creators to produce complex works like film reviews, short dramas, and educational tutorials that short clips can hardly accommodate. It also boosts user engagement by offering immersive stories, strengthening stickiness. Additionally, this expansion helps TikTok compete with rivals — both short-video platforms like Kuaishou and long-video giants like YouTube — while unlocking new monetization avenues through more ad insertion space.
However, challenges accompany opportunities. The longer format raises creation thresholds, making it harder for casual users to produce quality content. It also increases review burdens and operational costs for the platform. For users accustomed to quick, fragmented entertainment, lengthy videos may cause fatigue.
This shift blurs the line between short and long videos a trend sweeping the industry. As TikTok balances its short-video essence with long-form diversity, it aims to build a more comprehensive content ecosystem, reshaping how creators create and users consume video content.
12. What is the original video duration of TikTok when it was first launched?
A. 15 seconds. B. 1 minute. C. 5 minutes. D. 15 minutes.
13. Which of the following is NOT a reason for TikTok to launch 15-minute videos?
A. Meeting the need for in-depth content. B. Reducing operational costs.
C. Enhancing market competitiveness. D. Exploring new monetization (盈利变现) ways.
14. What challenge does TikTok face with the long-form video update?
A. Higher creation barriers for casual users. B. Lack of audience interest.
C. Decreased user engagement. D. Loss of short-video creators.

47. 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。
Sitting at the dinner table, then-12-year-old Frank listened as his sister Talia, who was only one year older, shared her news from the day. Their school in Kanambu, a small village in Ecuador’s Amazon Rainforest, won first place in WE’s Clean Schools Program — and Talia led the way.
As Talia recounted how she tended the school garden and taught classmates to keep the bathroom tidy, pride shone on their parents’ faces. Frank decided then and there to follow in her footsteps — to lead the school movement and fight pollution and other environmental problems threatening their community.
WE Villages launched the Clean Schools Program in five communities in the Amazon, to encourage students to take action on health, hygiene and protecting the environment. The program holds end-of-year competitions where one school is crowned winner (加冕冠军), Talia, now in Grade 10, led Kanambu to its first-place this year.
For those in Kanambu, the program came at just the right time. The young community’s population had ballooned in recent years, growing from a few families to hundreds of people. That growth brought a lot of good — a road, electricity for the school and clean, piped water. But it’s also brought challenges in the form of garbage, waste and pollution.
Looking at the scattered (零散的) garbage and the two-story classrooms to the towering wall of trees, Frank was determined to fix the problems. As a side benefit, he hoped to compete with his sister. Frank had an idea, but he needed help. He persuaded his father to help solve one of the school’s most pressing problems: No one had any garbage cans. The closest town recently started sending garbage collectors to Kanambu, but without garbage cans, there was nothing to pick up. Frank wanted to build natural, durable containers out of bamboo for all to use.
