One was about the Smith family who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was in deep sorrow. Could Della help? That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Della was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the long-time social service professional had put out a call on her blog. She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Smith family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near written on it.” It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants. This is not the first time that Della has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2016, she founded Love in Action, an organization committed to doing something good near her home and beyond. Its aim is simple: Do Your Best, Show Your Love! Over the years, the organization has reached out and touched well over 100strangers, some found via Della’s blog, others with help from her grandkids. The organization also shares inexpensive and creative gift ideas for others to help people in need. Della pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages, as well as the gas it takes to play fairy. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning against spending it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and YESSS!” It’s Della’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to. 4.

This technological breakthrough is of great significance to China’s green development strategy. It helps China reduce its dependence on imported lithium materials, and effectively promotes the wide use of clean energy across the country. From rural solar power stations to urban public transport, sodium-ion batteries are playing a key role in China’s journey to achieve carbon neutrality (碳中和). Although great progress has been made, China will not stop its pace of innovation. The country will continue to increase research input, upgrade key technologies, and deepen cooperation with the rest of the world. With continuous efforts, China is determined to make greater contributions to global green development and a better shared future for mankind. 8.

This new technology makes planes faster, quieter and much more environmentally friendly, which will deeply influence the future of flying and daily long-distance transportation. In mid-2026, an American company showed its latest hypersonic (超高音速的) engine design. It allows planes to fly at over five times the speed of sound, meaning flights between New York and London could take less than two hours. Such amazing speed will greatly save people’s travel time and change the way people move across different countries. What’s more, European engineers put forward a brand-new theory of “low-carbon combustion” (低碳燃烧), which cuts fuel use and reduces carbon emission greatly. This breakthrough is expected to play a vital role in global environmental protection and green aviation development. Another key improvement is the advanced noise-reduction system. Traditional plane engines produce sharp and loud noise during takeoff and landing, which brings lasting trouble to people living near airports. However, the 2026 engine model uses special heat-resistant materials and scientific structure to make flights much quieter. It creates a more comfortable experience for both passengers on board and nearby residents. Several major international airlines have already planned to fix these engines in their new passenger planes after 2028. With these technological innovations, the future of air travel is changing rapidly. Faster, greener and quieter flights will soon no longer be just a beautiful dream. Industry experts believe that with continuous optimization, these engines will soon be widely used in commercial flights, bringing a revolutionary change to the global aviation industry. 12. What is the biggest strength of the new hypersonic engine? A. It works well without regular repairs. B. It enables planes to fly at high speed. C. It costs much less to produce. D. It needs no fuel during the flight. 13. Why is the noise-reduction system important? A. It cuts down the weight of planes greatly. B. It makes flights safer in bad weather. C. It provides a more pleasant experience for people. D. It helps planes fly much higher. 14. What does the underlined word “optimization” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Discussion. B. explanation. C. Improvement. D. agreement. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the new engine technology? A. Optimistic. B. Regretful. C. Uncaring. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15.

I was always the last to be picked for teams, and I never won a race. I thought being slow and weak made me a failure. But one day, my P. E. teacher, Mr Harris, said something that changed my mind. He had been watching me struggle during a running drill, and after the class, he came over to talk to me. “You may not be the fastest,” he said, “but you have something even more important. You don’t give up.” I didn’t really understand what he meant at the time. How could not quitting be better than winning? In my mind, if you weren’t first, then you lost. But Mr Harris kept encouraging me. He told me that winning wasn’t everything and that sometimes trying hard and not giving up was even more valuable. At first, I didn’t believe him, but then he suggested I start practicing a little every day after school. “Don’t focus on becoming the fastest,” he said. “Just focus on improving, even if it’s a little bit each day.” I decided to give it a try, although I wasn’t sure it would make a difference. I began running around the track after school, one lap, then two, slowly increasing my endurance. Over the next few weeks, I noticed small changes. I could run longer without getting tired, and I was improving, even if I wasn’t winning yet. As the school’s annual race day approached, I wondered if I should sign up. I still wasn’t fast enough to win, but Mr Harris encouraged me once more. “The race isn’t about being first,” he reminded me. “It’s about showing what you can do when you don’t give up. That’s real success.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 A few days later, I signed up for the race. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the race, I went to see Mr Harris. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A few days later, I signed up for the race. On the race day, I stood nervously at the starting line, surrounded by faster runners. As expected, when the race started, the others sped ahead of me. About halfway through the course, one of the fastest runners tripped and fell. Without thinking, I stopped running and helped him get back on his feet. “Keep going, don’t worry about me,” he said, but I stayed with him. We crossed the finish line together, much slower than everyone else, but we finished side by side. After the race, I went to see Mr Harris. He smiled when he saw me and said, “What you did today was more important than winning.” At first, I didn’t understand. I didn’t win the race, after all. But he explained, “You helped someone, and that’s something far greater than crossing the finish line first.” At that moment, I realized he was right. The race wasn’t just about speed; it was about determination and compassion. That day, I learned that real success comes from the heart, not from a gold medal. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在小学时不擅长运动，常因速度慢和身体弱而觉得自己是失败者，但体育老师哈里斯先生通过鼓励和引导改变了作者的看法。哈里斯先生告诉作者坚持和不放弃比获胜更重要，并建议作者每天练习。作者开始每天放学后跑步，逐渐提高了耐力。在学校的年度赛跑日，尽管作者仍不够快，但在老师的鼓励下，作者明白了比赛的意义不在于拿第一，而在于展现坚持不放弃的精神，这才是真正的成功。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几天后，我报名参加了比赛。”可知，第一段可描写作者报名参加比赛后的经历。 ②由第二段首句内容“比赛结束后，我去看哈里斯先生。”可知，第二段可描写作者在比赛后与哈里斯先生的交流，以及从这次交流中获得的深刻领悟。 2.续写线索：比赛开始——其他人超过作者——有人摔倒——帮助他站起来——冲过终点线——哈里斯先生微笑——哈里斯先生解释——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①加速：speed/accelerate ②绊倒：trip/stumble ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①紧张：nervously/tensely ②同情：compassion/sympathy 【点睛】[高分句型1] As expected, when the race started, the others sped ahead of me.

B Della Steward got the standard well-wishes on her blog on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One was about the Smith family who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was in deep sorrow. Could Della help? That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Della was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the long-time social service professional had put out a call on her blog. She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Smith family, she sent a wind chime (风铃) with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near written on it.” It now hangs in the four-year-old’s bedroom, where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants. This is not the first time that Della has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th, in 2016, she founded Love in Action, an organization committed to doing something good near her home and beyond. Its aim is simple: Do Your Best, Show Your Love! Over the years, the organization has reached out and touched well over 100strangers, some found via Della’s blog, others with help from her grandkids. The organization also shares inexpensive and creative gift ideas for others to help people in need. Della pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs, and care packages, as well as the gas it takes to play fairy. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning against spending it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and YESSS!” It’s Della’s party, and she’ll give if she wants to. 4. What were the unusual messages Della got on her 53rd birthday? A. Help requests. B. Gift ideas. C. Donation offers. D. Birthday wishes. 5. What can we learn about Della from her gift to the Smith family? A. She is caring and brave. B. She is loving and helpful. C. She is patient and romantic. D. She is creative and determined. 6. Which of the following best describes Love in Action? A. It involves people in acts of kindness. B. It holds the belief that kindness pays off. C. It offers aid within Della’s neighborhood. D. It mainly aims to educate kids to help out. 7. Why does Della’s family give her warnings? A. She thinks little of her family’s concern. B. She treats strangers better than her family. C. She is financially dependent on her family. D. She is too ready to give away her birthday gifts. C As the world calls for greener development, China has been sparing no effort in exploring clean energy technology, and battery research has become a top priority in the country’s energy plan. Over the past decade, Chinese scientists have achieved an inspiring breakthrough in sodium-ion battery (钠离子电池) technology, marking a giant step in China’s independent innovation in the energy field. Back in 2015, Chinese research teams began to focus on sodium-ion battery development, aiming to solve the problems of scarce lithium resources and high battery costs. At that time, the first-generation sodium-ion batteries developed by Chinese researchers had limited power storage and short service life, failing to meet industrial use standards. For years, scientists stuck to continuous experiments and technological upgrades, overcoming one technical difficulty after another. In 2021, China launched the second-generation sodium-ion batteries with obviously improved performance, which were first put into trial use in small electric vehicles and home energy storage devices. By 2026, Chinese scientists finally made the mature new sodium-ion battery available for mass production. This made-in-China battery is not only low-cost and highly safe, but also has a much stronger power storage capacity. Electric cars equipped with it can run far longer on a single charge, and it also works perfectly with solar and wind power systems. This technological breakthrough is of great significance to China’s green development strategy. It helps China reduce its dependence on imported lithium materials, and effectively promotes the wide use of clean energy across the country. From rural solar power stations to urban public transport, sodium-ion batteries are playing a key role in China’s journey to achieve carbon neutrality (碳中和). Although great progress has been made, China will not stop its pace of innovation. The country will continue to increase research input, upgrade key technologies, and deepen cooperation with the rest of the world. With continuous efforts, China is determined to make greater contributions to global green development and a better shared future for mankind. 8. What can we learn about the research of sodium-ion batteries? A. The research focused on solving lithium shortage first. B. The first-generation batteries were widely used in industry. C. Mass production was achieved as early as 2021. D. Chinese teams started the research in 2015. 9. What advantage does China’s mature sodium-ion battery technology offer? A. It enables the batteries to be produced at a low cost. B. It allows the batteries to replace all lithium batteries. C. It makes the batteries require no maintenance. D. It helps the batteries work without safety risks. 10. What is the significance of China’s sodium-ion battery breakthrough? A. It helps China stop using fossil fuels completely. B. It reduces China’s dependence on imported lithium. C. It makes electric cars cheaper for every family. D. It improves the quality of imported clean energy. 11. What is the main idea of the text? A. China’s long-term efforts pay off in sodium-ion battery technology B. Ways for China to achieve carbon neutrality C. The global development of sodium-ion battery technology D. The history of clean energy research in China D The year 2026 brought important progress to global air travel, thanks to a new generation of aircraft engines developed by European and American scientists. This new technology makes planes faster, quieter and much more environmentally friendly, which will deeply influence the future of flying and daily long-distance transportation. In mid-2026, an American company showed its latest hypersonic (超高音速的) engine design. It allows planes to fly at over five times the speed of sound, meaning flights between New York and London could take less than two hours. Such amazing speed will greatly save people’s travel time and change the way people move across different countries. What’s more, European engineers put forward a brand-new theory of “low-carbon combustion” (低碳燃烧), which cuts fuel use and reduces carbon emission greatly. This breakthrough is expected to play a vital role in global environmental protection and green aviation development. Another key improvement is the advanced noise-reduction system. Traditional plane engines produce sharp and loud noise during takeoff and landing, which brings lasting trouble to people living near airports. However, the 2026 engine model uses special heat-resistant materials and scientific structure to make flights much quieter. It creates a more comfortable experience for both passengers on board and nearby residents. Several major international airlines have already planned to fix these engines in their new passenger planes after 2028. With these technological innovations, the future of air travel is changing rapidly. Faster, greener and quieter flights will soon no longer be just a beautiful dream. Industry experts believe that with continuous optimization, these engines will soon be widely used in commercial flights, bringing a revolutionary change to the global aviation industry. 12. What is the biggest strength of the new hypersonic engine? A. It works well without regular repairs. B. It enables planes to fly at high speed. C. It costs much less to produce. D. It needs no fuel during the flight. 13. Why is the noise-reduction system important? A. It cuts down the weight of planes greatly. B. It makes flights safer in bad weather. C.

I was always the last to be picked for teams, and I never won a race. I thought being slow and weak made me a failure. But one day, my P. E. teacher, Mr Harris, said something that changed my mind. He had been watching me struggle during a running drill, and after the class, he came over to talk to me. “You may not be the fastest,” he said, “but you have something even more important. You don’t give up.” I didn’t really understand what he meant at the time. How could not quitting be better than winning? In my mind, if you weren’t first, then you lost. But Mr Harris kept encouraging me. He told me that winning wasn’t everything and that sometimes trying hard and not giving up was even more valuable. At first, I didn’t believe him, but then he suggested I start practicing a little every day after school. “Don’t focus on becoming the fastest,” he said. “Just focus on improving, even if it’s a little bit each day.” I decided to give it a try, although I wasn’t sure it would make a difference. I began running around the track after school, one lap, then two, slowly increasing my endurance. Over the next few weeks, I noticed small changes. I could run longer without getting tired, and I was improving, even if I wasn’t winning yet. As the school’s annual race day approached, I wondered if I should sign up. I still wasn’t fast enough to win, but Mr Harris encouraged me once more. “The race isn’t about being first,” he reminded me. “It’s about showing what you can do when you don’t give up. That’s real success.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 A few days later, I signed up for the race. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the race, I went to see Mr Harris. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
