专题04 阅读理解（新闻报道议论文） 主题 01 人与自我 —— 自我提升与人际交往 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·四川省仁寿第一中学校南校区·期中） The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said, “I always do what I can’t do so that I can learn how to do it.” It strikes a chord with me because that’s exactly what I’ve done these years. One of my earliest memories of doing before learning is of baking scones (烤饼) when I was about 10 years old. I wanted to bake them to surprise my mother when she returned home. Before that I’d observed how my mother baked them many times. As I started to try, I didn’t know I shouldn’t handle the dough with my hands too much once I’d added the baking powder. However, I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because my mom had already taught me. By the time my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection-flat, as a result of over handling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt, rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen, which was like a tornado had just blown! Have my attempts always been successful? I wish! Some of my kitchen disasters were of such proportions that even the dogs wanted nothing to do with them. My gardening failures didn’t live to see another season. But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do! 1．What can we learn about the author’s first experience of baking scones? A．She practiced hard before actually trying. B．She turned to her mom when necessary. C．She wanted to perform better than her mom. D．She managed to do it despite a little imperfection. 2．How did Mom respond to the author’s attempt? A．She made improvements to the scones. B．She expressed her appreciation for the job. C．She shared her first experience of baking. D．She was surprised by the mess in the kitchen. 3．What does the author think of her practices of “doing before learning”? A．Most of them have ended up in failure. B．They are just a barely usable method. C．They contribute a lot to her self-improvement. D．They only apply to the learning of specific skills. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To stress the importance of keeping learning. B．To show the benefits of doing before learning. C．To encourage people to do something they can’t do. D．To call on readers to change their way of learning. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者用自己年少时做烤饼的经历来说明“先做后学”的好处。 1．细节理解题。根据第四段中“By the time my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection — flat, as a result of over handling the dough, but they tasted OK.(当我妈妈到家时，新鲜出炉的烤饼的香味把她迎进了厨房。由于过度处理面团，他们被烤成金棕色的完美扁平，但味道还不错)”可知，尽管最后作者做的烤饼因为过度手揉而有点扁平，但是味道很好，尽管有一点不完美，但她的尝试成功了。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中“My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt, rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen (妈妈亲切地表扬了我的尝试，并没有因为厨房的状况而责骂我)”可知，妈妈对作者的尝试表示赞赏。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do!(但我在学习前做的习惯仍然很有用。无论我需要学习什么计算机程序或应用程序，我都是通过简单地开始使用它来做到的。所以，如果你问我是否后悔我倾向于先做后学，我会说我不会，因为我从中发现了一种智慧，那就是知道什么时候可以做，什么时候可以学，什么时候最好学，然后做！)”可推知，作者认为这些在“学习”之前就做出的尝试为她的自我提升做出了很大的贡献。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。由文章第一段“The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said, ‘I always do what I can’t do so that I can learn how to do it.’ It strikes a chord (引起共鸣) with me because that’s exactly what I’ve done these years.(西班牙著名画家巴勃罗·毕加索曾说过：‘我总是做我做不到的事，这样我才能学会做。’这句话引起了我的共鸣，因为这正是我这些年来所做的)”以及根据最后一段“But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do!(但我在学习前做的习惯仍然很有用。无论我需要学习什么计算机程序或应用程序，我都是通过简单地开始使用它来做到的。所以，如果你问我是否后悔我倾向于先做后学，我会说我不会，因为我从中发现了一种智慧，那就是知道什么时候可以做，什么时候可以学，什么时候最好学，然后做！)”可知，作者写本文的目的是要展示“先做后学”的好处。故选B项。 Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下·四川省广元市广元市直属学校·期中） No pain, no gain, as the old exercise saying goes. But how much pain do you have to bear to benefit from training? That depends on what you’re trying to achieve, fitness experts say. For years, some trainers have instructed gym-goers that to get the best results, they need to train until failure, meaning until they cannot physically do one more repetition or exercise. Some recent studies, however, suggest this extreme rule may only benefit certain people. “If somebody wants to increase muscle (肌肉) mass as much as they possibly can, then training to failure is something to consider.” said Michael Zourdos, chair of exercise science and health promotion at Florida Atlantic University. Zourdos and his colleagues found that training until failure may build bigger muscles, but isn’t needed to increase strength. He said people who work out hard, but don’t push themselves to the state of being totally tired out, will still likely improve their health and fitness. “There is a difference between training for health and training for excellent performance,” he said. He also said failure training often comes at a cost, since people working to that standard might be so tired that they have no energy to join their next gym training or two. In extremely rare instances, overdoing it can be harmful, leading to a potentially fatal condition called rhabdomyolysis, where damaged muscles begin to break down, possibly causing kidney (肾脏) damage. James Fisher, a sports science expert and consultant in Southampton, England, said whatever your fitness goal was, the concept of failure training could be applied into your workout. But people should then rest the muscle group they trained for roughly two days, he said. For people who have more experience, experts recommend saving the failure training for occasional workouts, or on the last set of exercises in their training. “It’s not meant to be for every person, every time they work out,” Fisher said. “This is a tough way to exercise.” 1．What is the function of the saying in the first paragraph? A．To give examples. B．To lead in the topic. C．To make comparisons. D．To provide an argument. 2．What does the author want to show by mentioning rhabdomyolysis? A．The harm of failure training. B．The benefit of eating healthily. C．The importance of bigger muscles. D．The necessity of training in a gym. 3．What did James Fisher advise people to do after they train to failure? A．Try lifting weights at once. B．Have their kidney checked. C．Look for an excellent trainer. D．Rest for about two days. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．How Hard Should You Train? B．How Often Should You Do Exercise? C．How Can You Improve Your Health? D．How Do You Lose Weight in a Healthy Way? 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了训练到力竭的利弊以及如何合理安排训练强度。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“No pain, no gain, as the old exercise saying goes. But how much pain do you have to bear to benefit from training? That depends on what you’re trying to achieve, fitness experts say.(俗话说，不劳无获。但为了从训练中受益，你必须承受多少痛苦呢？这取决于你想要达到的目标，健身专家说。)”可推知，这句话用于引出话题，讨论训练的强度和目标。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“In extremely rare instances, overdoing it can be harmful, leading to a potentially fatal condition called rhabdomyolysis, where damaged muscles begin to break down, possibly causing kidney (肾脏) damage.(在极少数情况下，过度训练可能是有害的，导致一种可能致命的情况，称为横纹肌溶解症，受损的肌肉开始分解，可能导致肾脏损伤。)”可推知，作者提到横纹肌溶解症是为了说明过度训练的危害。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“But people should then rest the muscle group they trained for roughly two days, he said.(他说，人们应该让他们训练的肌肉群休息大约两天。)”可知，James Fisher建议人们在训练到力竭后休息大约两天。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段“But how much pain do you have to bear to benefit from training? That depends on what you’re trying to achieve, fitness experts say.(但为了从训练中受益，你必须承受多少痛苦呢？健身专家说，这取决于你想要达到的目标。)”可知，主要讨论了训练到力竭的利弊以及如何合理安排训练强度，最佳标题为“你应该多努力地训练？”故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下·四川省泸州市泸县·期中） For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do? Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped. In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the colour of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress. 1．Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict? A．Both can continue for generations. B．Both are about where to draw the line. C．Neither has any clear winner. D．Neither can be put to an end. 2．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? A．The teens accuse their parents of misleading them. B．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict. C．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents. D．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict. 3．Why do parents and teens want to be right? A．To give orders to the other. B．To know more than the other. C．To gain respect from the other. D．To get the other to behave properly. 4．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A．Solutions to the parent teen problems. B．Examples of the parent teen war. C．Causes of the parent teen conflicts. D．Future of the parent teen relationship. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了父母与青少年之间的矛盾冲突及常见的三种情况。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段的“Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?(就像邻国之间的边境冲突一样，父母与青少年之间的战争是关于界限的：在我能控制的事情和你所做的事情之间的界限在哪里呢？)”可推知，作者把父母与青少年之间的战争比作边境冲突是因为两者都关乎界限在哪里，也就是在哪里划线的问题。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段的“From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. (从父母的角度来看，他们争吵的唯一原因是他们的青少年完全不讲道理)”以及“Both feel trapped.(双方都觉得陷入了困境)”可知，双方陷入了困境的原因是父母认为是青少年的原因导致冲突，而青少年则认为是父母的原因导致冲突，所以划线部分意思是 “青少年指责他们的父母引发了冲突”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段的“Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect.(第三，需要证明自己是对的。无论话题是什么——政治、物理定律，还是打鸡蛋的正确方法——这些争论的重点是证明你是对的，而对方是错的，因为双方都希望被视为权威——一个真正懂点东西的人——从而赢得尊重)”可知，父母和青少年都想证明自己是对的是为了赢得对方的尊重。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据第三段的“In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.(在这篇文章中，我将描述三种通常出现在青少年和父母之间的两败俱伤的情况，然后提出一些摆脱困境的方法)”以及后面描述了三种情况可知，接下来作者很可能会讨论解决父母与青少年问题的方法。故选A。 主题 02 人与社会 —— 科技与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·四川省射洪中学·期中） Over 5 million shared bikes in China are using services offered by Beidou Navigation Satellite System (北斗卫星导航系统). These shared bikes all use Beidou based positioning chips (芯片). The chips have high qualities. They can deal with information accurately and quickly. They feature low power consumption. They provide a better user experience and easier management for the local companies. Now, several new models of shared electric bikes with Beidou-based chips have also started to be produced and put into market. Besides positioning and navigation, the chips will help users and bike companies record user speed and battery condition of an electric bike. The possible crimes during the bike using will also be recorded. In fact, years ago, shared bike companies began to use positioning chips which worked well with both GPS and Beidou services. After the Beidou system became fully in use in the summer of 2020, shared bike companies started installing Beidou-based chips on more bikes in more areas. The latest chips which are popular with bike companies are smaller and have more advantages over the old types. Since 2000, a total of 59 Beidou satellites have been lifted from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province. After the final satellite was lifted in 2020, the system was completed and started providing global services. Beidou Satellite System is designed and developed by China and it is one of four global navigation networks, along with the United States’GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo, According to a research in 2022, by the end of 2021 the total value connected with satellite navigation and positioning services in China was 469 billion yuan, a 16.3-percent increase year - on-year. More than 500,000 Chinese people now work at around 14,000 China’s companies and organizations doing business connected with Beidou and other satellite navigation and positioning services. 1．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?

Its two sample trains shown in Beijing on Dec 30, 2024—had a test speed of 450 kilometers per hour and an operational speed of 400 km/h. The CR400, which is in service since 2017, has an operational speed of 350 km/h. The CR450’s speed advantage comes with a number of other improved features, such as a braking (刹车) system with a shorter response time, crucial for the safety of high-speed trains. After a series of trials and calculations, engineers have improved the CR450’s braking response time from 2.3 seconds to about 1.7 seconds. The CR450 has carbon fiber composite materials, reducing its overall weight, which not only helps in enhancing speed but also significantly aids in energy consumption reduction. Thus, the CR450 balances technological empowerment for increased efficiency with a reduction in energy consumption. On the foundation of raised speed, guaranteed safety and effective energy conservation, the CR450 also focuses on enhancing the passenger experience. It features built-in four-person compartments and business seats that can rotate and adjust up to 300 degrees, creating a clean and simple environment with a high level of comfort. Li Yongheng, an official from China State Railway Group, said, “China’s high-speed rail system has evolved from being a follower to a global leader, setting new international standards.” Li added that they work together to maintain and strengthen China’s leadership in high-speed rail technology and support the country’s modernization goals. China’s railway system, particularly the high-speed railway network, has seen rapid development over the past 15 years. By the end of 2024, China’s railway network covered 160,000 km, of which 46,000 km are high-speed railways, accounting for more than two-thirds of the world’s high-speed railways. With significant progress and major breakthroughs achieved in a short time, China ranks first globally. 1．What can we learn about the CR450? A．Its braking response time is longer. B．It is more environmentally friendly. C．All the seats can rotate and adjust 300 degrees. D．Its operational speed is 100 km/h faster than CR400. 2．Why does the author mention Li Yongheng’s statement?

It is reported that the box office (票房) takings in China have been growing at an impressive rate in the past five years, which indicates that China, the world’s second-largest movie market, is closing the gap with the United States, the world’s top cinema market. Cao Yin, director of the program center at China Movie Channel, said that China has the most cinema screens of any country, and the number is increasing steadily. Saying that China has signed coproduction agreements with more than 20countries, Cao added it has deepened cinematic exchanges between Chinese filmmakers and their foreign counterparts (同行). Hong Kong director Stanley Tong said that with the country’s huge home market he believes foreign filmmakers will increasingly seek cooperation with China. “International coproduction will become an important platform to send Chinese stories oversea and give us a broader vision of creation,” Tong said. Recently, over 80 percent of the world’s top 100 highest box-office titles have been action films. Tong said the action film, in which plots are basically secondary to dazzling stunts (特技), is one of the easiest ways to appeal to foreign audiences. But it has been a decades-long struggle for Chinese filmmakers to sell their stories overseas. When asked what kinds of Chinese films would have the most global appeal, Yan Zhaozhu, chairman of the Taihu World Cultural Forum, said stories that address universal issues, such as environmental protection and climate change, are perhaps the best options. 1．What can we infer from the first paragraph? A．Cinema is the most important cultural medium in the world. B．The box office in the US has been growing faster than that in China. C．China’s movie market is developing rapidly. D．The Taihu World Cultural Forum mainly focuses on cinema. 2．According to Stanley Tong, what is the significance of international corporation? A．It helps Chinese filmmakers to learn advanced technology worldwide. B．It can make Chinese stories known to the world and broaden the vision of creation. C．It can increase the box office takings in China. D．It can improve the quality of Chinese movies. 3．What kind of Chinese films does Yan Zhaozhu think are most likely to be popular globally? A．Films that deal with global issues. B．Films with unique Chinese cultural elements. C．Action films with amazing stunts. D．Films that reflect Chinese history and traditions. 4．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

One of my earliest memories of doing before learning is of baking scones (烤饼) when I was about 10 years old. I wanted to bake them to surprise my mother when she returned home. Before that I’d observed how my mother baked them many times. As I started to try, I didn’t know I shouldn’t handle the dough with my hands too much once I’d added the baking powder. However, I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because my mom had already taught me. By the time my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection-flat, as a result of over handling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt, rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen, which was like a tornado had just blown! Have my attempts always been successful? I wish! Some of my kitchen disasters were of such proportions that even the dogs wanted nothing to do with them. My gardening failures didn’t live to see another season. But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do! 1．What can we learn about the author’s first experience of baking scones? A．She practiced hard before actually trying. B．She turned to her mom when necessary. C．She wanted to perform better than her mom. D．She managed to do it despite a little imperfection. 2．How did Mom respond to the author’s attempt? A．She made improvements to the scones. B．She expressed her appreciation for the job. C．She shared her first experience of baking. D．She was surprised by the mess in the kitchen. 3．What does the author think of her practices of “doing before learning”? A．Most of them have ended up in failure. B．They are just a barely usable method. C．They contribute a lot to her self-improvement. D．They only apply to the learning of specific skills. 4．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To stress the importance of keeping learning. B．To show the benefits of doing before learning. C．To encourage people to do something they can’t do. D．To call on readers to change their way of learning. Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下·四川省广元市广元市直属学校·期中） No pain, no gain, as the old exercise saying goes. But how much pain do you have to bear to benefit from training? That depends on what you’re trying to achieve, fitness experts say. For years, some trainers have instructed gym-goers that to get the best results, they need to train until failure, meaning until they cannot physically do one more repetition or exercise. Some recent studies, however, suggest this extreme rule may only benefit certain people. “If somebody wants to increase muscle (肌肉) mass as much as they possibly can, then training to failure is something to consider.” said Michael Zourdos, chair of exercise science and health promotion at Florida Atlantic University. Zourdos and his colleagues found that training until failure may build bigger muscles, but isn’t needed to increase strength. He said people who work out hard, but don’t push themselves to the state of being totally tired out, will still likely improve their health and fitness. “There is a difference between training for health and training for excellent performance,” he said. He also said failure training often comes at a cost, since people working to that standard might be so tired that they have no energy to join their next gym training or two. In extremely rare instances, overdoing it can be harmful, leading to a potentially fatal condition called rhabdomyolysis, where damaged muscles begin to break down, possibly causing kidney (肾脏) damage. James Fisher, a sports science expert and consultant in Southampton, England, said whatever your fitness goal was, the concept of failure training could be applied into your workout. But people should then rest the muscle group they trained for roughly two days, he said. For people who have more experience, experts recommend saving the failure training for occasional workouts, or on the last set of exercises in their training. “It’s not meant to be for every person, every time they work out,” Fisher said. “This is a tough way to exercise.” 1．What is the function of the saying in the first paragraph? A．To give examples. B．To lead in the topic. C．To make comparisons. D．To provide an argument. 2．What does the author want to show by mentioning rhabdomyolysis? A．The harm of failure training. B．The benefit of eating healthily. C．The importance of bigger muscles. D．The necessity of training in a gym. 3．What did James Fisher advise people to do after they train to failure? A．Try lifting weights at once. B．Have their kidney checked. C．Look for an excellent trainer. D．Rest for about two days. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．How Hard Should You Train? B．How Often Should You Do Exercise? C．How Can You Improve Your Health? D．How Do You Lose Weight in a Healthy Way? Passage 3 （24-25学年高一下·四川省泸州市泸县·期中） For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighbouring countries, the parent teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do? Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped. In this article, I’ll describe three no win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the colour of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is — politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg — the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority — someone who actually knows something —and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress. 1．Why does the author compare the parent teen war to a border conflict? A．Both can continue for generations. B．Both are about where to draw the line. C．Neither has any clear winner. D．Neither can be put to an end. 2．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? A．The teens accuse their parents of misleading them. B．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict. C．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents. D．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict. 3．Why do parents and teens want to be right? A．To give orders to the other. B．To know more than the other. C．To gain respect from the other. D．To get the other to behave properly. 4．What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A．Solutions to the parent teen problems. B．Examples of the parent teen war. C．Causes of the parent teen conflicts. D．Future of the parent teen relationship. 主题 02 人与社会 —— 科技与文化 Passage 1 （24-25学年高一下·四川省射洪中学·期中） Over 5 million shared bikes in China are using services offered by Beidou Navigation Satellite System (北斗卫星导航系统). These shared bikes all use Beidou based positioning chips (芯片). The chips have high qualities. They can deal with information accurately and quickly. They feature low power consumption. They provide a better user experience and easier management for the local companies. Now, several new models of shared electric bikes with Beidou-based chips have also started to be produced and put into market. Besides positioning and navigation, the chips will help users and bike companies record user speed and battery condition of an electric bike. The possible crimes during the bike using will also be recorded. In fact, years ago, shared bike companies began to use positioning chips which worked well with both GPS and Beidou services. After the Beidou system became fully in use in the summer of 2020, shared bike companies started installing Beidou-based chips on more bikes in more areas. The latest chips which are popular with bike companies are smaller and have more advantages over the old types. Since 2000, a total of 59 Beidou satellites have been lifted from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province. After the final satellite was lifted in 2020, the system was completed and started providing global services. Beidou Satellite System is designed and developed by China and it is one of four global navigation networks, along with the United States’GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo, According to a research in 2022, by the end of 2021 the total value connected with satellite navigation and positioning services in China was 469 billion yuan, a 16.3-percent increase year - on-year.

Passage 2 （24-25学年高一下·四川省川南地区名校联考·期中） BEIJING—The CR450 high-speed train will be the fastest train in the world when it enters commercial service. Its two sample trains shown in Beijing on Dec 30, 2024—had a test speed of 450 kilometers per hour and an operational speed of 400 km/h. The CR400, which is in service since 2017, has an operational speed of 350 km/h. The CR450’s speed advantage comes with a number of other improved features, such as a braking (刹车) system with a shorter response time, crucial for the safety of high-speed trains. After a series of trials and calculations, engineers have improved the CR450’s braking response time from 2.3 seconds to about 1.7 seconds. The CR450 has carbon fiber composite materials, reducing its overall weight, which not only helps in enhancing speed but also significantly aids in energy consumption reduction. Thus, the CR450 balances technological empowerment for increased efficiency with a reduction in energy consumption. On the foundation of raised speed, guaranteed safety and effective energy conservation, the CR450 also focuses on enhancing the passenger experience. It features built-in four-person compartments and business seats that can rotate and adjust up to 300 degrees, creating a clean and simple environment with a high level of comfort. Li Yongheng, an official from China State Railway Group, said, “China’s high-speed rail system has evolved from being a follower to a global leader, setting new international standards.” Li added that they work together to maintain and strengthen China’s leadership in high-speed rail technology and support the country’s modernization goals. China’s railway system, particularly the high-speed railway network, has seen rapid development over the past 15 years. By the end of 2024, China’s railway network covered 160,000 km, of which 46,000 km are high-speed railways, accounting for more than two-thirds of the world’s high-speed railways. With significant progress and major breakthroughs achieved in a short time, China ranks first globally. 1．What can we learn about the CR450? A．Its braking response time is longer. B．It is more environmentally friendly. C．All the seats can rotate and adjust 300 degrees. D．Its operational speed is 100 km/h faster than CR400. 2．Why does the author mention Li Yongheng’s statement?

This latest feat adds to an impressive list of records for the film, which became the first film to gross (总赚) 1 billion U. S. dollars in a single market, the first non-Hollywood title to enter the billion-dollar club, and the highest-grossing animated movie of all time worldwide. Directed by Yang Yu, known as Jiaozi, the sequel to 2019’s “Ne Zha” has redefined the ceiling for single-film earnings in Chinese cinema. “This success has not only boosted the confidence of creators but also showcased the resilience and huge growth potential of the Chinese market,” said Lai Li, a Maoyan analyst. The film’s roots run deep in Chinese mythology (神话), continuing the story of the boy god Nezha as he and his ally Aobing struggle to rebuild their physical forms. With the help of Taiyi Zhenren, they navigate a journey of self-discovery, fate and defiance. The story’s rich mythology, dazzling animation and universal themes have struck a chord with audiences. The film’s technical achievements are just as remarkable. With nearly 2, 000 visual effects shots and contributions from 138 animation studios, “Ne Zha 2” exemplifies (例证) the growing strength of China’s creative industry. Since its international rollout began on Feb. 13 in Australia and New Zealand, “Ne Zha 2” has steadily expanded its global footprint. It opened in North America the following day, shattering the region’s 20-year-old opening weekend record for a Chinese-language film. Sheila Sofian, a professor at the University of Southern California and a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, praised the film’s production design, sound design, and music, calling it “mind-blowing” in a video interview shared by China Media Group. After debuting in Singapore on March 6, “Ne Zha 2” launched this week in the Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand, with further Southeast Asian rollouts planned in the coming weeks.
