It tests riders’ skill, courage, and machinery against a rocky hill that lives up to its name. Basic Facts - Location: Sítio do Enxerim, near the M502 road in Silves, southern Portugal - Date: Held every November - Organizers: Moto Clube de Albufeira + Silves City Council The Course: - Length: 110 meters - Gradient: Average 38.7°, with sections reaching nearly 42° - Surface: Loose limestones, narrow path, minimal traction (附着力) Rules & Scoring - Riders attempt to climb as high as possible on a motocross bike - No time limit — victory goes to the rider with the maximum height reached - A rider’s attempt ends if they fall, touch the ground with their feet, or go outside the marked course - Retries are allowed, but only the best attempt counts Why It’s “Impossible” The complexity of the hill pushes the riders and machines to the limit, forcing riders to balance machinery control and gravity; too much power causes loss of control, too little means failing to fight the pull of gravity efficiently. In over two decades, only a tiny number of riders have ever reached the top. Most winners claim victory by climbing just a few meters farther than their competitors. For example, last year, João Lourenço managed to cross the finish line, but he ended up being disqualified for going outside the lines, so first place went to Luis Romão, who climbed 72 meters and 50 centimeters before falling off his motorbike. 21. What do we know about the “Subida Impossivel” event? A. It takes place every year in summer. B. It is held on a tough course. C. It is organized by a local body. D. It is located in northern Portugal. 22. How is a rider’s performance judged in the competition? A. By the time taken to reach the top. B. By the distance of successful climbs. C. By the number of good attempts. D. By the style and speed of riding. 23. Why was João Lourenço unable to win the event last year? A. He didn’t reach the finish line in time. B. He gave up at the last minute of the race. C. He went outside the clearly defined lines. D. He fell off his bike because of carelessness. B What began as a regular family vacation to the Ocean City Hilton in Maryland suddenly turned into a frightening brush with danger. Josie returned to their hotel room alone to shower while the rest of her family enjoyed the beach. Fresh out of the shower, Josie noticed an odd movement at the bottom of the door. A long wire with a hook (钩子) was swinging under the door frame, reaching toward the inside handle. It didn’t take long for her to realize someone was trying to break in. The intruders eventually caught the handle and pulled it down, slightly cracking the door open. Josie remembered she was only in a towel while someone was about to break into her room. As the door opened slightly, she reacted instantly by shutting it hard and securing the lock, preventing the intruders from coming in. After the attempted break-in, the people outside tried to talk their way in by pretending to be hotel staff. They claimed they needed to fix the keypad and asked her to open the door. But Josie trusted her instincts (直觉) and took a closer look. She noticed they were wearing casual clothes — jeans and a T-shirt — which didn’t match the professional look expected from Hilton staff. At that moment, she remembered something important her father, a police officer, once told her: never let strangers know you’re alone. That moment of advice became her best weapon. “I yelled ‘Hey dad, there’s someone here to fix the door.’ As soon as they thought that I wasn’t alone — and potentially my dad was there — they ran away,” Josie said. Josie’s experience is more than a scary story; it raises real concerns about hotel security and traveler safety. It’s a powerful example of how being alert and prepared can help prevent danger before it happens. 24. What happened to Josie when she was alone in the hotel? A. She fell asleep after the long shower. B. Her room door was broken open completely. C. Someone was trying to enter her room illegally. D. The hook and handle of the door became loose. 25. What was Josie’s first reaction when she realized danger? A. She asked for help loudly in horror. B. She buried herself in the towel for fear. C. She fixed the broken door immediately. D. She locked the door to block the danger. 26. What helped Josie to drive the intruders away? A. Her father’s safety advice. B. Help from hotel staff. C. Hilton’s security measures. D. Her quick call to the police. 27. What can we learn from Josie’s experience? A. Better safe than sorry. B. Look before you leap. C. Don’t judge a book by its cover. D. Fortune favors the bold. C One night in May 2023, a group of people from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) gathered around a computer monitor on a rooftop. The monitor was linked to equipment that could receive transmissions from a satellite. Around 10 pm, they got a signal. On their monitor, the scientists watched as their equipment turned solar energy into electrical power. The experiment was a success. But it’s just a first step. Eventually, the scientists hope to gather the sun’s energy in giant satellites orbiting Earth and beam it down to the power grid2 (网格). Solar panels in space would produce a constant stream of power. The idea of solar space stations isn’t new. Science fiction writers thought of it years ago. The problem is getting these power stations into space. The glass solar panels would have to be huge. The cost of launching the parts into orbit would be tremendous. So the Caltech scientists are creating a new kind of solar panel. This one is made out of lightweight materials. And they’re replacing large antennas3 with tiny ones. Caltech is not the only organization that’s interested in solar power stations. China is planning a mission in 2028 to test its technology. And the European Space Agency is looking to build gigantic4 solar space stations. For now, the Caltech scientists will continue with their experiments. Their satellite managed to send some energy to Earth. But other parts didn’t work. However, the recent experiment proved that the technology works in space. With more research, it could reach commercial use in the coming decades. The biggest obstacle to building solar power stations in space is not the technology. Launching the materials is too expensive. And that’s changing. The aerospace company SpaceX has been testing reusable rockets. Reusing rockets will bring down the cost of a launch. The cost of gathering solar energy and sending it to Earth will be less. And that will make it more practical. 28. What did the Caltech scientists successfully do in the May 2023 experiment? A. They built a system to charge a laptop from space. B. They unfolded the frame for solar panels in space. C. They transmitted solar energy from space to Earth’s power grid. D. They transformed space-collected sunlight into usable electricity. 29. Why does the author mention China and the European Space Agency’s plans? A. To praise Caltech’s advanced technology. B. To compare their technologies with Caltech’s. C. To show global interest in space solar power. D. To predict the commercial use of solar stations. 30. What contributes to the future use of space solar power? A. The faster progress of technology. B. The lighter weight of solar panels. C. The lower cost of launching materials. D. The greater support from the government. 31. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The breakthrough of SpaceX rockets. B. An experiment on space solar energy. C. Global efforts to build space power stations. D. A successful space exploration by scientists. D As a child, you might have been told that playing outside in the dirt is good for you. But is there any evidence to back this up? A body of research suggests that early exposure to dirt may reduce kids’ risk of developing allergies (过敏). As a child’s immune (免疫) system develops in the early years of life, the army of protective cells within the body has to learn how to distinguish between the body’s own cells and foreign substances that are either harmless or disease-causing. These cells must learn to spot the disease-causing substances in order to fight them off. The signals that guide and regulate this immune training mainly come from the gut microbiome (肠道菌群). The early stage of life is crucial to the microbiome’s development. A theory called the Old Friends Hypothesis suggests that the greater the range of microbes (微生物) we’re exposed to in early childhood, the more diverse our gut microbiome will be, and thus the better our immune systems will become at telling friends and enemies apart. The term “old friends” refers to microbes that live on and in the body without harming a person’s health. Multiple studies have demonstrated a link between growing up on a farm or in a household with pets and having a lower likelihood of developing allergies. A trial in Finland found that the immune systems of city-living children could be bolstered by exposure to grass and soil taken from the forest floor. Within a month, children who played in the dirt had a more diverse community of harmless bacteria on their skin and more immune-regulatory cells than those who played at home. However, translating this scientific understanding into broad, practical public health recommendations is not straightforward. One cannot simply recommend getting a dog as a guaranteed way to prevent allergies. Furthermore, soil in heavily polluted areas can be unhealthy as it may harbor potentially harmful chemicals. 32. What is the role of the gut microbiome in immune system development? A. It fights off disease-causing substances. B. It produces protective cells for the body. C. It provides signals that instruct immune training. D. It distinguishes harmless substances from harmful ones. 33. What can be inferred from the Old Friends Hypothesis? A. Microbe exposure in childhood lessens immunity. B. The immune system identifies all enemies naturally. C. A clean growing environment best prevents allergies. D. Early contact with harmless microbes boosts immunity. 34. What does “bolstered” underlined in paragraph 4 mean? A. Built. B. Weakened. C. Damaged. D. Strengthened. 35. What does the author intend to suggest in the last paragraph? A. Getting a dog can help prevent allergies in children. B. Public health advice on dirt exposure must be cautious. C. Playing in polluted soil is as healthy as in natural soil. D. The benefits of dirt exposure apply to all environments. 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。 In life’s fast pace, deep wisdom often shows up unexpectedly. It doesn’t always come wrapped in comfort; sometimes it appears in straightforward words, firm actions, or tough lessons. Many people might speak directly or appear demanding but show wisdom. 36 It influences choices, communications and boundaries. Here are some behaviors that seem like rudeness but reveal wisdom. Calling out disrespect and setting healthy limits According to Your Tango, one sign of wisdom is the courage to speak up when someone is being rude. It may sound direct, but wise people choose to address disrespect immediately. 37 They also set healthy boundaries with great care. Saying “I can’t do that right now” protects their energy and helps them keep their focus on what truly matters. Honest words that lead to genuine growth 38 If a friend asks their opinion on a risky choice, they don’t hide the truth with gentle lies or empty comfort. Instead, they respond with directness, not sugarcoating the facts. Their honesty may hurt, but it prevents bigger problems and guides others toward learning. Staying alone as a source of strength Choosing alone time is another mark of wisdom. When they decline social plans, it isn’t to distance themselves from others, but to recharge their energy. 39 Only when they are fully recharged can they show up fully in meaningful moments, according to a study. Saying “no” with purpose Their “no” isn’t rude — it’s intentional. 40 Instead, they say “no” deliberately and thoughtfully, to protect their most valuable resources: their time, their important commitments, and their inner peace. By setting firm limits, they stay focused on what truly matters and avoid being overwhelmed by unnecessary demands. A. Wise people are real and full of energy. B. Deep wisdom can shape how people act. C. Through quiet observation people can gain insight. D. Constant socializing can take up time and exhaust them. E. They do this to stop harmful behavior and encourage reflection. F. Wise individuals do not use this word to be unkind or disrespectful. G. Truth can sound tough, but people with deep wisdom prefer honest feedback. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was young, I used to walk in the woods around my home.

For centuries, this collection of ancient texts has remained largely 56 (accessible) to the public due to its fragility (脆弱). Now, artificial intelligence is rewriting that narrative. Researchers have developed an AI-powered platform which can process classical Chinese texts with remarkable efficiency. Rather than simply scanning pages, the system learns to recognize characters   57   (write) in complex seal script (篆书). “What once 58 (take) months to digitize manually,” explained a project leader, “AI now accomplishes in days with far greater precision.” The platform further constructs knowledge graphs, connecting different texts to reveal hidden relationships   59   historical figures and events. This 60 (transform) turns static collections into dynamic information networks, making scholarly research 61 (significant) more efficient. What excites scholars most, however, 62 (be) the platform’s capacity to restore damaged texts. By analyzing millions of undamaged characters, the AI can predict 63 missing words should be. “It’s like   64   (breathe) new life into texts once considered beyond recovery,” remarked one historian. The project, recognized as a global case study at 65 2025 World Internet Conference, demonstrates that technology preserves not merely books, but the timeless wisdom they contain. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 2026年是可持续发展志愿者国际年（Volunteer Year of Sustainable Development），Global Volunteers现招募志愿者。假如你是李华，拟申请一个项目的志愿服务。请根据以下信息写一封申请信，内容包括： 1．申请原因； 2．服务设想。 Volunteer project Place Time education support rural Tanzania from July 6th to 25th community service Canada from October 3rd to 26th wildlife conservation Australia from December 5th to 22rd 注意： 1．词数80词左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Sir or Madam, Yours sincerely, Li Hua 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。 The car turned onto the familiar road that led to Grandma’s farm. “Jude, this summer holiday will be a great chance for you to stay with your grandma,” Dad said as he drove. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’ m fine,” I answered. “I’ m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’ m good at.” “That sounds disappointing,” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the 20th century. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.

I firmly believe education is the foundation of sustainable development, and I am eager to empower underprivileged children in rural areas to change their lives through learning. Boasting solid English skills and rich tutoring experience, I will design interactive lessons to spark their interest, organize cultural exchange activities to share Chinese stories, and guide them to pursue their dreams. I would be greatly honored if my application could be approved. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） One possible version: Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! It was a piece of cake to me.” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. I carefully connected everything. After a few adjustments, the Internet was up and running. “Done!” I announced confidently. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Soon, people were noticing. My abilities made a difference! Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered joyfully as she packed flowers. Mr. Jackson smiled warmly and handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone moved quickly to keep up with orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. Surprisingly, the roses sold out in half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized competence wasn’t avoiding mistakes, but facing them and making the most of my strengths. 听力录音原文 Text 1看房子 M: The house has a lovely backyard and the living room is big. What do you think?

M: Thank you all for tuning in. Text 10世界遗产面临挑战 M: ⑱ Almost 100 years ago, the government of Canada created the Wood Buffalo National Park. There are large forests filled with northern trees. The water collects in small streams, rivers and lakes. ⑱ The forests and wetlands create a home for many species. The park got its name from one of them: Wood Buffalo. Wood Buffalo is a very large, brown animal. This beautiful place became a World Heritage Site in 1983, and it received money from UNESCO to help protect it. ⑲ But it still faces big challenges. The government of Canada has approved a dam project near the park. This would harm many plants and animals there. Native Canadians and other groups are worried about these problems. They have appealed to the World Heritage Committee to list the park as a World Heritage Site in Danger. They hope this international attention will force the government to protect the park. ⑳ Much of the risk to World Heritage Sites comes from human acts. Abu Mena, an ancient city in Egypt, is a great example. It is a historical site made of many old and fragile stone buildings. The farming projects in the area caused underground water levels to rise. This makes the ground unstable. Some of the buildings fell. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
