According to research from the University of Oxford's Transport Studies Unit,e-bikes are now reducing carbon dioxide emissions (in European cities more effectively than electric vehicles (EVs).The key reason?Production emissions. Vehicle Type Production Emissions Annual Running Emissions Lifespan Emissions E-bike 150kgC02 0kg 250kg Electric car 12,000kgC02 0 kg 18,500kg Petrol car 8,000kgC02 2,500kg 45,000kg Lifespan emissions calculated over 10 years /15,000 km per year The table above tells a striking story.While an electric car produces zero emissions during use,building its battery and body creates a significant carbon footprint-equal to 80 e-bikes. A typical e-bike,by contrast,requires far fewer materials and a much smaller battery. "E-bikes are the overlooked hero of urban transport,"says Dr.Maria Sanchez,lead author of the study."For short to medium journeys-which make up the majority of urban travel-they offer massive emission savings at a small part of the cost."The study also highlights a trend called "car replacement."In cities like Amsterdam and Copenhagen,one in three e-bike owners reported using their e-bike for trips they previously would have made by car.This shift could cut urban transport emissions by up to 12%by 2030,the researchers estimate. However,challenges remain.Many cities lack safe cycling roads,and battery recycling facilities are still developing.Despite these obstacles,the message is clear:when it comes to cleaning up city air,two wheels may be better than four. 21.What mainly makes e-bikes greener than electric cars? A.Quieter rides for cyclists. B.Lower production emissions. C.Wider usage in big cities. D.Fewer annual running emissions. 22.Dr.Maria Sanchez calls e-bikes "the overlooked hero"because A.they have the potential to ultimately replace cars. B.they always come second for most urban travel. C.they are not welcome for long-distance journeys. D.they cut emissions effectively and economically. 高二英语第3页（共10页)（2026.4) 23.What problem is the popularity of e-bikes faced with? A.Lack of battery materials. B.Unfavorable traffic conditions. C.Non-recyclable batteries. D.A limited number of wheels. B Eileen Gu,the 22-year-old freestyle skier,has won a silver medal for China at the Winter Olympics in Italy.Despite facing pressure,injuries and online criticism,she showed her determination and talent in the women's slopestyle(坡面障碍技巧)final.Her remarkable achievement adds another chapter to her already impressive Olympic career,proving that true champions rise above hard times. Gu had a tough start in the qualifying round,even falling during her first run.But she quickly bounced back,remembering the pressure she felt at the Beijing Olympics four years ago.With encouragement from her mom,she focused on believing in herself.She landed a great second run,securing her spot in the final.In the final,she nailed her first run,scoring high and putting pressure on her competitors.Although she made some mistakes later,she held on to win the silver medal. This medal represents a new beginning for Gu after a challenging year.The past months had tested her toughness in ways she had never experienced before.Training alone during recovery,facing unfamiliar obstacles,and dealing with constant public.attention could have broken a lesser athlete.Yet Gu transformed these difficulties into valuable lessons about herself.As she said,skiing is 50%skill and 50%mindset.Overcoming difficulties proves she can handle pressure. Looking beyond her own achievements,Gu hopes her journey will have a lasting impact on young people everywhere.She wants them to understand that success is not about avoiding failure,but about having the courage to rise after each fall.Whether on the ski slopes or in daily life,the ability to face challenges with courage and grace is what truly defines a champion.Gu's silver medal is not just an award-it is a symbol of hope,proving that with dedication and heart,anything is possible. 24.How was the process of Gu's competition? A.Effortless.B.Predictable. C.Disappointing. D.Dramatic. 25.Why does the author mention "a lesser athlete"in paragraph 3? A.To compare Gu's training methods with others'. B.To explain how crucial recovery is for skiers. C.To stress Gu's extraordinary mental strength. D.To show public criticism affects Gu deeply. 高二英语第4页（共10页）(2026.4) 26.Which of the following will Gu most probably agree with? A.Mindset matters as much as competence. B.Failure can be avoided with confidence. C.Public attention helps athletes progress. D.Winning medals is real proof of success. 27.What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A.Who'll learn the most from Gu's achievements. B.Why Gu values the silver medal more than gold. C.What spiritual meanings behind Gu's medal are. D.How one can become a champion with devotion. c Offshore oil leaks have caused some of the worst man-made disasters in history.And while adding a whirl (of fire to the mix might sound like the opposite of a good solution,new research has found it might be the best way to clean up our mess. When dealing with major oil leaks,emergency responders often set fire to the floating oil on the ocean's surface,creating "on-site"fire pools that stop the oil from spreading further.But while this protects the marine environment,such fires send huge clouds of smoke and poisonous smoke into the atmosphere. Taking inspiration from an unusual 2003 incident in Kentucky-where a Bourbon Whisky leak sent 800,000 gallons up in flames,circling into a 30m fire whirl on a lake-Professor Elaine Oran and her team began to wonder whether the same process could be used for good. So the team constructed a 4.8m-tall,three-walled triangular structure at a fire training facility in Texas,with a pool of raw oil floating on water at its centre.When lit,it produced a nearly 5.2m fire whirl. The first large-scale experiment shows fire whirls burn oil leaks faster and cleaner than fire pools,proving their game-changing potential for ocean cleanups.Compared to conventional fire pools,it bumned through oil 40%faster,cut smoke production by 40%,and consumed up to 95%of the fuel.The secret is in the whirl.Rather than spreading outward,the vortex ( breathes in oxygen from all sides-burning hotter and more completely. But employing that power is easier said than done.Fire whirls are temperamental;too much wind and the column collapses,too little airflow control and it returns to a conventional fire pool. Despite this,Oran said achieving the "Goldilocks Zone"in the field is "very realistic" "This study is more than just an experiment.It's a brief view into a future where fire isn't a force of destruction,but a tool to protect our oceans and planet,"she said. 高二英语第5页（共10页)(2026.4) 28.What is the disadvantage of traditional oil burning? A.It fails to stop oil from spreading. B.It's difficult to operate on site. C.It destroys marine life seriously. D.It causes serious air pollution. 29.Why did Elaine Oran's team carry out the experiment? A.To figure out the cause of the Kentucky accident. B.To test whether fire whirls can clean oil leaks better. C.To acquire more experience for fire training in Texas. D.To prove the conventional fire pools are nol reliable. 30.What does the underlined word "temperamental"in paragraph 5 probably mean? A.Difficult to control. B.Costly to produce. C.Extremely powerful. D.Naturally changing. 31.What conclusion can be drawn about the fire whirl technique? A.It's been actually used in real oil leak accidents. B.It needs testing in some small-scale experiments. C.It will eventually replace other cleanup methods. D.It has promising potential in ocean conservation. D Science and art have long been seen as separate worlds,but a major upcoming event plans to bring them together in an exciting and large-scale way. Every five years,the cultural and non-profit institution Getty teams up with museums and institutions in Southern California on an event called PST Art.Getty has announced that the next edition of the event will be PST Art:Art Science Collide,running from September 2024 through January 2025.With more than 60 exhibitions and works by more than 800 artists,it will be the largest art project in the US. The idea behind PST Art was that museums and institutions working together could "address a subject that was too vast for any one institution alone,"said Katherine E.Fleming, who runs the J.Paul Getty Trust.The next edition looks at art and science in new ways and covers topics such as climate change,visual technologies,and cosmology the study of the origin and evolution of the universe). At the Getty Center in Los Angeles,there will be an exhibition about the light and colors in Vincent van Gogh's famous painting Irises.It will also host an exhibition about a cooperation between artists and engineers in the 1960s and 1970s.At the La Brea Tar Pits,an active urban fossil（化石)dig site,artist Mark Dion will have an exhibition titled Excavations（发).He has been an artist in residence at the Tar Pits and has been helping with excavations and learning about fossils.As part of his show,Dion is making a 10-foot-long sculpture of a pack rat bone structures. While putting the new PST Art project together,Fleming said there was a real connection between the artists and scientists involved."We've discovered that all of the artists secretly 高二英语第6页（共10页)（2026.4) really want to be scientists,she said,"and all of the scientists secretly really want to be artists.” 32.What leads to PST Art being jointly held? A.The time of holding the event lasts too long. B.The event goes beyond one single institution. C.Too many scientists take part in the art event. D.It aims to spread art and science across the US. 33.What can we infer about Mark Dion? A.He is both an artist and a fossil scientist. B.He creates his works like Vincent van Gogh's. C.His work is influenced by his life at the Tar Pits D.His sculpture is made of the fossils he has found 34.What does Fleming want to convey in the last paragraph? A.Everyone can become an artist or a scientist. Q如 B.Scientists should learn creativity from artists. C.Artists and scientists have a lot in common. % D.Artists and scientists depend on each other. 35.What is the best title for the text? A.Event Will Mix Science and Art B.Museums Host Special Exhibitions 长 C.You decide:Artists or Scientists D.Getty Presents New Art Exhibitions 3 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）》 数 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 带 余选项。 车 Have you ever dealt with a simple misunderstanding that could have been resolved with 短 more communication?Effective communication is about expressing your feelings clearly and briefly while listening to another person's body language and perspectives.36 This guide can teach you the basies so you can get your point across quickly and calmly.

The next day,I presented my dilemma (to my friend Maryanne over lunch, picking at my salad as I voiced the inner conflict."Just say no,"she advised softly."You don't have to lie or explain-just say you're unavailable. "But I am available,"I argued."I'll just be exhausted,in no mood to be chatty or fully present for her event." Maryanne smiled knowingly."You don't have to let weariness()hold you back from choosing what's best for you.You're entitled to some rest to recharge your spirit."Her words made sense,but I still wondered if my desire could ease the weight of letting down Judy,who'd always supported me unconditionally. The following day,an older friend,Will,mentioned a recent conference on emotional well-being."The speaker talked about reserved people,"he said."Crowds energize sociable people,but they exhaust reserved ones.We need quiet time by ourselves sometimes." Will's explanation was a sudden insight into why I always experienced burnout after social events.Staring at my computer screen,I realized I needed to stop saying"yes"out of fear and start listening to my own needs.A sense of determination began to arise. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Taking a deep breath,I opened my email.
