Just then, our coach, Mr. Evans, jogged up beside me. “Stop looking at them,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “You’re not running their race. You need to find your own ____22____.” His words were simple, but they struck me. I had been so focused on ____23____ myself to others that I had forgotten why I started running in the first place.

B Born in 1949, Diana Nyad developed an early interest in swimming and became a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she dreamed of competing in the Olympics, but a serious illness ruined her chance to qualify for the Games. However, the disappointment did not stop her from moving forward. Instead, she turned her focus to marathon swimming. A naturally gifted athlete, Nyad was physically well-conditioned to endure long periods in the water. As a long-distance swimmer, she would compete not only against herself but also against obstacles such as distance, danger, cold, and exhaustion. Over the next ten years, Nyad dedicated herself to becoming one of the world’s top long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for that course. In 1972, she broke another record by swimming 102.5 miles from a Bahamian island to the Florida coast. Then, in 1975, she broke a third record when she swam around Manhattan Island. Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the stretch of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling the water for two days, she was forced to abandon the attempt to protect her health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. For Nyad, the strength of her purpose mattered as much as reaching Cuba itself. “That was how she defined success,” she later reflected: “It didn’t matter that my swim fell short — I believed I had already touched the other shore.” To her, success was never just about crossing a finish line — it was about refusing to back down from a dream. When Nyad eventually retired from swimming, she continued to take on new challenges: traveling the world as a reporter, writing books, and delivering public speeches about her life journey. Today, Diana Nyad still works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the world’s most daunting waters. 41. What is the key reason that Nyad turned to marathon swimming? A. She failed to qualify for the Olympic Games. B. She wanted to find a less competitive sport than pool swimming. C. She found she had a natural talent for spending long periods in water. D. A health problem prevented her from achieving her original dream. 42. How is the information in the second paragraph organized? A. By listing events in the order they happened. B. By describing Nyad’s feelings during each swim. C. By explaining why Nyad broke swimming records. D. By comparing Nyad’s swimming speed with others. 43. What does the underlined phrase “fell short” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A. Ended in failure. B. Was stopped by dangers. C. Was shorter than planned. D. Took less time than expected. 44. What did Nyad do after she finished her swimming career? A. She trained young swimmers to achieve their Olympic dreams. B. She reported on global events as a traveling journalist. C. She shared her life stories through writing and speaking. D. She advocated for safer conditions in long-distance swimming. 45. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain the challenges of marathon swimming. B. To describe the history of long-distance swimming records. C. To tell the life story of an inspiring and determined athlete. D. To compare Nyad’s swimming career with her later jobs. C Today, the number of Asian elephants seems to be going up in some places. By 2021, the elephant population in Sri Lanka was back to nearly 6,000. But there’s a bigger problem: the human population has grown even faster. Sri Lanka is about 25,000 square miles, but it has almost 22 million people. That means elephants in Sri Lanka don’t have much space to move around. The land they used to live on has been turned into towns and farms. So humans and elephants are fighting more and more. When elephants find farmers’ crops, the farmers often lose a lot of money. Sometimes, these fights even get dangerous. It all comes down to this riddle: How can an enormous animal keep living well on a continent where space is only getting more limited? The answer might lie in understanding the elephants themselves, not just as a species but as individuals. Since January 2019, Sateesh Venkatesh, a graduate student who is researching elephants, and his team have been giving the PVC-pipe test to elephants to observe their problem-solving styles. In the test, apples had been placed inside the pipes, and the elephants’ task was to get the apples out. Do elephants that approached the pipe hesitantly also stay farther from farmers’ fields? Do the ones who tore at the pipe forcefully also brave the firecrackers (鞭炮) and flashing lights the farmers set off to scare them away at night? If elephants who are risk-takers can be identified, maybe the scientists will be able to figure out how to better keep them out of farms and thus reduce conflict with people. Besides, learning all the different methods elephants employ to take down an electric fence would probably be helpful for designing better fences. “It’s all very idealistic at this point, I have to admit,” says Venkatesh. “But it’s a fresh approach. When a child, for example, is told they can’t have the cookies, he still wants a cookie. But we don’t put up an electric fence in the kitchen to prevent our children. We come up with non-harmful, positive ways to keep them away from the cookies. I think we can do the same for elephants.” 46. Why are humans and elephants fighting more in Sri Lanka? A. Asian elephants eat crops and destroy farms. B. Human population grows faster leaving elephants less space. C. Elephants often fight with humans over living areas. D. Sri Lanka’s climate changes making elephants move areas. 47. What is the purpose of the PVC-pipe test conducted by Sateesh Venkatesh’s team? A. To check how fast elephants find apples. B. To test if pipes block elephants. C. To compare elephants’ eating habits. D. To learn how elephants solve problems. 48. What can help reduce conflict between humans and elephants according to the passage? A. Drive risk-taking elephants away from farms. B. Identify risk-takers and design better fences. C. Teach elephants to avoid electric fences. D. Stop using electric fences around farms. 49. What does Venkatesh mean by comparing elephants to children? A. Guide elephants gently with safe methods, like kids. B. Elephants need to learn rules, just like kids. C. Electric fences don’t work for kids or elephants. D. Both need strict control to stop bad behavior. 50. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Farms vs. Elephant Attacks in Sri Lanka Today B. More Elephants Now Living in Sri Lanka Area C. Elephants’ Problem-Solving Skills in Pipe Tests D. Reduce Human-Elephant Fights: Study Personalities 第Ⅱ卷 第四部分：写作（共两节；满分30分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下列短文并回答问题。 Sophia had always been the best art student in her class. Her paintings were colorful and full of energy, and her teacher often praised her skill. So when the school announced an art competition with the theme “Connection,” everyone expected Sophia to win. However, for the first time, Sophia found herself staring at a blank sheet of paper, unsure of where to start. Sophia found the word “connection” vague and difficult to explain. She tried drawing different ideas — a family holding hands, a busy marketplace — but none of them seemed to capture the deeper meaning she felt the theme required. “Is it just about people being together?” she wondered. “Or something more invisible, like feelings or memories?” Her classmates eagerly talked about their ideas, showing their early drawings and laughing as they worked. Sophia, however, felt stuck, and the pressure to meet everyone’s expectations only made things worse. One afternoon, Sophia decided to take a walk in the park to relax. As she wandered, she noticed a young boy trying to fly a kite. The kite shook in the air before falling to the ground. The boy sighed but didn’t give up. He carefully adjusted the string, ran faster, and tried again. His face showed how determined he was as he focused on the kite. Finally, the kite rose high into the sky, and the boy’s face lit up with happiness. Watching him, Sophia stopped in her tracks. She suddenly felt inspired, as if the boy’s patience and determination had unlocked her own creativity. She rushed home and began painting, showing the boy’s hard work, the kite’s bright colors, and the invisible connection between them. Her brush moved quickly, and her style was simple and direct, unlike her usual detailed work. On the day of the competition, Sophia showed her painting. Some classmates whispered that it wasn’t her best work. Sophia felt unsure but stood by her piece. Though she didn’t win first place, she received a special award for “Most Creative Artwork.” As Sophia packed up her painting, she realized art wasn’t about being perfect — it was about showing what truly mattered. 51. What made Sophia stand out as an art student? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What does the underlined word “vague” mean in Paragraph 2? (no more than 3 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What did Sophia see in the park that helped her with her painting? (no more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. What did Sophia learn about art at the end? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________ 55. Do you think Sophia’s painting deserved the special award? Why or why not?

I highly recommend The Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto — a perfect gift representing Chinese culture. As one of China’s most beloved classics, it tells a touching ancient love story through music. What makes it special is its blend of Western violin with traditional Chinese musical styles, creating a sound that’s both beautiful and uniquely Chinese. Even if your parents don’t know much about Chinese music, the music is so expressive and heartfelt that it’s easy to connect with. Many people call it “the Chinese Romeo and Juliet,” which might help them understand the story behind it! I believe they’ll love it, as it’s not just music but a piece of Chinese culture. The album cover often features traditional butterfly paintings, adding visual charm too. Hope this helps! Wish you a wonderful holiday with your family. Li Jin 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
