A[2025长沙一中月考]
As long as she can remember, Khadijah has floated from shelters to parks to motels along the West Coast with her mother, never in a permanent residence for more than a few months. She has attended 12 schools in 12 years. She was used to the teasing of students at a dozen schools who labeled her as “different”. “I have felt the anger at having to catch up in school … I was bullied because they knew I was poor, different, and read too much,” she wrote in her college essays.
However, academics proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. Khadijah was in third grade when she first realized the power of test scores, placing in the 99th percentile on a state exam—that is, only 1% of students across the country tested better than she did. Her teachers marked the 9yearold as gifted, a special category that Khadijah, even at that early age, promised to keep. “I still remember that exact number,” Khadijah said.
And in 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to stay put, regardless of where her mother moved. Graduation was not far off and she needed strong college letters of recommendation from teachers who were familiar with her work. This decision meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a.m. and not getting home until 11 p.m. She kept her gradepoint average at just below a 4.0 while participating in the Academic Decathlon(十项全能), the debate team and leading the school's track and field team.
Her hard work paid off when she poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application—and was accepted. Now a successful student at Harvard, Khadijah continues to use the lessons of her extraordinary life to help and inspire other students.
( ) 1. What did some of Khadijah's classmates think of her?

A. Her teacher paid special attention to her.
B. She was marked by her classmates as gifted.
C. She received recognition for her debating skills.
D. Her score was better than 99% of others on a national test.
( ) 3. Why did Khadijah determine to stay at Jefferson High School?
A. She had to stay where her mother moved.
B. She was tired of keeping moving from place to place.
C. She wanted to participate in the Academic Decathlon.
D. She wanted to make preparations for applying to universities.
( ) 4. What can we learn from Khadijah's story?
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. Good things come to those who wait.
C. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
D. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Sometimes to go forward you must look backward. Windpowered ships have been used since ancient times, ever since the invention of the sail. With the coming of fuelpowered ships, however, the sail fell out of favor as a practical way to move large boats and ships across the ocean. Now, sails are making a comeback as a way to lower the carbon emissions produced by the fuelpowered shipping industry.
Shipping is not an environmentally friendly industry. In fact, the industry is responsible for about three percent of global emissions. Luckily, the leading figures in the industry have made a commitment to reach net zero for planetwarming gasses by 2050. This is where the Pyxis Ocean comes in.
The Pyxis Ocean is a ship with two “Wind Wings”, which was designed by a British company. The ship made its first journey crossing the ocean from China to Brazil in 2023.
But the “Wind Wings” are not quite sails. Standing up to 37 meters tall, they are designed using the same type of aerodynamic(空气动力学的) principles that make it possible for an aircraft to fly. When not being used, the sails fold down onto the ship's deck. It is estimated that the wings will save around 3 tons of fuel a day. That is a lot of fuel.
With new, cleaner fuels still in the works, these partial measures to reduce carbon emissions are a godsend. “Ultimately we do need zerocarbon fuels on all ships, but in the meantime, it is necessary to make every journey as efficient as possible,” Dr Simon Bullock, a shipping researcher, said.
Luckily, windpowered technology is gaining recognition. About 100 out of every 110,000 newbuild ships are being built using some sort of wind technology. And that doesn't take into account ships like the Pyxis Ocean which have been, or will be transformed with sails, kites, or other types of windpowered mechanisms.
( ) 5. What does the comeback of the windpowered technology indicate?
A. The whole world is faced with an energy crisis.
B. Sustainable development has become a global trend.
C. The solutions to modern problems may lie in the past.
D. The shipping industry is determined to turn away from fossil fuels.
( ) 6. What is the main purpose of the “Wind Wings” on the Pyxis Ocean?
A. To provide entertainment for the crew.
B. To reduce the ship's carbon emissions.
C. To serve as a backup power source.
D. To increase the speed of the ship.
( ) 7. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. The windpowered technology is reliable and promising.
B. Wind power is playing a major role in the shipping industry.
C. Fuelpowered ships will soon be replaced by windpowered ones.
D. Technology innovation is key to addressing environmental issues.
( ) 8. What can be the best title for the text?
A. New Ship Sailing into the Future
B. Traditional Shipping Taking the Stage
C. The Pyxis Ocean: New Hope for the Earth
D. “Wind Wings”: a Return to Ancient Maritime Wisdom

Kenny Eating House is always crowded from late afternoon until midnight, with so many people surrounding the tables. __1__ The moment customers show any signs of leaving, a few people rush in to take their place. The one who secures the table will stand at the table proudly waving his relatives or friends over, while the losers will be down in the mouth.
__2__ You next have to get the attention of the busy waiters rushing about to serve the customers. You will usually hear the words “hot water” being shouted out as they pass, even if they are not holding any such thing! __3__ In between trying to catch the attention of the waiters and looking through the menu, you will hear customers complaining about the slow service.

Dear_fellow_students,
I am writing to advocate for the use of public transportation over private cars. There are some benefits of doing so.
On one hand, the excessive use of private vehicles contributes to air pollution and traffic congestion, which negatively impacts our environment. On the other hand, public transport is more ecofriendly and can reduce carbon emissions. It also alleviates traffic pressure and is costeffective.
Let's take the initiative to choose buses, trains, or subways over driving. Together, we can make a difference to our planet.
