At the age of 93, Grandma Joy has finally seen all 63 parks, ending her journey in the National Park of American Samoa. “When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America-deserts, mountains, oceans, I decided to intervene (干预) in some way,” Brad says.

Finally, their long journey across the U.S. came to an end with American Samoa. “I am thankful every morning for giving me another day,” Grandma Joy shares. “And you’re your choice whether you’re going to have a rainy day or a sunny day. So, smile at everybody, and let everybody know you’re having a whale of a time.” While her tour of the U. S. has come to a close, she and her grandson are not done traveling.

(然而，一旦他们上路，Brad意识到他们可以参观附近更多的公园。多年来，他们参观了约塞米蒂国家公园、大峡谷、红杉林等所有著名景点。但Brad珍惜和祖母一起度过的时光，就像他们能去的那些神奇的地方一样。)”可知，在Brad眼中，他们的旅行令人惊奇且值得。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Brad regards her love for life as the key to her good health.

Last weekend, ZXMOTO secured two straight victories at the Superbike World Championship in Portugal. It was a monumental achievement for the brand in a sport long dominated (称霸) by European and Japanese giants. The story behind ZXMOTO is as inspiring as its victory. The brand was founded by Zhang Xue, a self-taught motorcycle enthusiast from a small village in Hunan Province. At 16, he started working in a repair shop. By 17, he had opened his own. At 19, he pursued a television crew for over 100 kilometers in the rain just to appear on screen — a bold move that helped him land a spot on a racing team. After co-founding another motorcycle company in 2017, Zhang decided to venture out on his own in 2024. Less than two years later, his motorcycles stood on the world podium (领奖台). When the victory came, Zhang burst into tears thousands of miles away in Chongqing. “It is not about chasing a trophy,” he later posted online. “It is about loving the ride. And that, perhaps, changes everything.” Industry experts said the victory proves how far Chinese manufacturing (制造业) has advanced. “For China to win both rounds in a world championship on a domestically developed production bike — that’s a first,” said Zhang Duo, senior editor at Motorcycle magazine. The company invested nearly 70 million yuan in research and development in 2025, even though it reported a loss. But the gamble is beginning to yield results. After the championship win, orders for ZXMOTO motorcycles surged to over 5,500 units within days. The company is now valued at about 1.09 billion yuan. For Zhang Xue, the victory is merely the starting point. His ambition for the next five years is to capture more than half of the large-displacement motorcycle market currently held by international brands. “Instead of competing on price, we are moving into the premium segment with superior performance and cutting-edge technology,” he said. 8. What first helped Zhang Xue enter the world of racing? A. Opening his own repair shop at 17. B. Pursuing a TV crew in the rain as a teenager. C. Co-founding a motorcycle company in 2017. D. Winning a championship in Portugal last weekend. 9. What does Zhang Duo mean in Paragraph 4? A. Chinese motorcycles are still behind global brands. B. Winning with a Chinese-made bike is a historic moment. C. Foreign brands no longer dominate the motorcycle market. D. The victory was mainly due to the rider’s excellent skills. 10. What does the underlined word “surged” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Rose slowly. B. Increased rapidly. C. Dropped sharply. D. Remained unchanged. 11. Which of the following best reflects the message of the story? A. Victory belongs to those who compete on price. B. Passion alone can guarantee success in business. C. A clear goal and strong will are key to achievement. D. Success requires both love for what you do and wise investment. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国摩托车品牌ZXMOTO夺冠世界赛事及其创始人的励志创业故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“At 19, he pursued a television crew for over 100 kilometers in the rain just to appear on screen — a bold move that helped him land a spot on a racing team. (19岁时，他在雨中追了电视摄制组100多公里，只为出现在屏幕上——这一大胆举动帮助他在赛车队中获得了一席之地。)”可知，十几岁时在雨中追赶电视摄制组这一举动帮助他进入了赛车界。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中““For China to win both rounds in a world championship on a domestically developed production bike — that’s a first,” said Zhang Duo, senior editor at Motorcycle magazine. (《摩托车》杂志资深编辑张铎表示：“中国凭借自主研发的量产车型，在世界锦标赛中包揽两回合冠军——这是第一次。”)”可知，张铎认为用中国制造的摩托车赢得比赛是一个历史性的时刻。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“After the championship win, orders for ZXMOTO motorcycles surged to over 5,500 units within days. The company is now valued at about 1.09 billion yuan. (在赢得冠军后，ZXMOTO摩托车的订单在几天内就surged至5500多辆。该公司目前估值约为10.9亿元。)”可知，赢得冠军后，ZXMOTO摩托车的订单数量迅速增加，由此可推知，surged意为“迅速增加”，与Increased rapidly意思相近。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段中“Instead of competing on price, we are moving into the premium segment with superior performance and cutting-edge technology (我们不是靠价格竞争，而是以卓越的性能和尖端技术进入高端市场)”可知，文章主要讲述了中国摩托车品牌ZXMOTO在葡萄牙超级摩托车世界锦标赛上取得历史性胜利的故事，以及其创始人张雪的创业历程和公司未来的发展目标，文章既体现了张雪对摩托车事业的热爱，又体现了公司在研发方面的明智投资，最终取得了成功，因此D项“成功既需要对你所做的事情的热爱，也需要明智的投资”最能反映文章的主旨。故选D。 D Music can have a great impact on emotion, energy, and even concentration. Many students turn to music as a way to enhance their focus during study, but not all types of music are equally effective. According to research on the relationship between music and concentration, music activates multiple areas of the brain, including the auditory cortex, which processes sound, and the limbic system, which manages emotions. By engaging these regions, music can help deal with emotions, keep you calm, and maintain your attention. However, music that is too loud, fast, or complex can overload these systems, making it harder to focus on cognitive (认知的) tasks. One of the most well-known studies on music and cognitive performance is the “Mozart Effect”, which suggests that listening to classical music, particularly Mozart, can improve visual reasoning and cognitive abilities. While later research has shown that the effect may not be as strong as initially believed, classical music is still widely regarded as a good option for studying due to its structured, calming nature. Given that not all music is equally beneficial, it’s important for students to match the music to the task at hand. For tasks that require deep concentration, such as problem-solving or reading, instrumental music with a slow tempo (节奏) is ideal, especially in noisy environments. For tasks that require less cognitive effort, such as organizing notes or working on creative projects, you may be able to handle more lively music or music with lyrics (歌词). Lyrics can be highly distracting during study, as they compete for your brain’s language-processing resources. This is especially true for tasks that involve reading, writing, or any activity that requires verbal processing. Creating your own study playlist allows you to match the music to your needs. Listening to songs that you’re already familiar with helps keep your brain focused on the task rather than getting caught up in new sounds. Moreover, if you’ve found particular music that works well for studying, add more of it to your playlist. Last, make your playlist long enough to last through your study. Constantly switching songs or playlists can break your concentration. 12. What does the research on music and concentration reveal? A. People’s preference for music varies. B. Music lovers tend to find joy in study. C. Music has a double-edged effect on study. D. Music improves people’s memory effectively. 13. What can be drawn from the “Mozart Effect”? A. Classical music motivates artistic talent. B. Classical music can help with thinking. C. Musical training makes studying easier. D. Good students find inspiration from musicians. 14. Which kind of music may the author suggest for students reading in the library? A. Soft piano pieces. B. Live rock recordings. C. Energetic violin pieces. D. Songs with touching lyrics. 15. What is a suitable subtitle for the last paragraph? A. Why music benefits study? B. How to choose the proper music? C. How to create your study playlist? D. Why familiar music improves focus? 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了音乐对学习专注力的影响，指出不同类型音乐效果各异，并提供了根据任务选择合适音乐以及创建学习歌单的建议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“By engaging these regions, music can help deal with emotions, keep you calm, and maintain your attention. However, music that is too loud, fast, or complex can overload these systems, making it harder to focus on cognitive (认知的) tasks. (通过激活这些区域，音乐可以帮助处理情绪、让你保持平静并维持注意力。然而，过于响亮、快速或复杂的音乐可能会使这些系统超负荷，从而更难专注于认知任务)”可知，研究揭示音乐对学习既有积极影响也有消极影响，是一把双刃剑。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“One of the most well-known studies on music and cognitive performance is the “Mozart Effect”, which suggests that listening to classical music, particularly Mozart, can improve visual reasoning and cognitive abilities. (关于音乐与认知表现最著名的研究之一是“莫扎特效应”，该研究表明听古典音乐，尤其是莫扎特的音乐，可以提升视觉推理和认知能力)”可知，“莫扎特效应”表明古典音乐有助于思维能力的提升。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“For tasks that require deep concentration, such as problem-solving or reading, instrumental music with a slow tempo (节奏) is ideal, especially in noisy environments. (对于需要深度专注的任务，如解决问题或阅读，节奏缓慢的器乐是理想的选择，尤其是在嘈杂的环境中)”可知，作者建议在图书馆阅读时选择节奏缓慢的器乐，如柔和的钢琴曲。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Creating your own study playlist allows you to match the music to your needs. Listening to songs that you’re already familiar with helps keep your brain focused on the task rather than getting caught up in new sounds. Moreover, if you’ve found particular music that works well for studying, add more of it to your playlist. Last, make your playlist long enough to last through your study. (创建你自己的学习歌单可以让你根据需求匹配音乐。听你已经熟悉的歌曲有助于让大脑专注于任务，而不是被新的声音吸引。此外，如果你发现某首特定的音乐对学习很有效，就多添加一些到你的歌单里。最后，确保你的歌单足够长，能覆盖整个学习时间)”可知，本段主要讲述如何创建学习歌单。故选C项。 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。 Managing Conflict with Humour Humour is a powerful tool.

If your efforts aren’t going over well, start by using self-deprecating (自嘲的) humour. We all love people who don’t take themselves too seriously.

Tap into (发掘) your playful side. ____20____ However, it’s important to point out that you don’t need to be a comedian to use humour to manage conflict. The point isn’t to impress the other person, but simply to lighten the mood. Therefore, don’t be afraid to simply act silly like a kid. It can lower the other person’s defenses and put you both in a more positive state of mind. A. Stop humour if faced with trouble. B. Develop a smart sense of humour. C. It is easy to understand some jokes. D. It’s understandable to fear rejection when attempting humour. E. You can be funny about the truth, but hiding the truth isn’t funny. F.

Humour can help you overcome conflict only when both parties are in on the joke. So it’s important to be sensitive to the other person.(要确保对方能理解你的笑话。只有当双方都能理解笑话时，幽默才能帮助你化解冲突。因此，对他人保持敏感很重要)”说明了要确保对方能理解你的笑话，要对他人保持敏感，看看他们对你说的笑话是什么反应，G选项“If he or she isn’t likely to appreciate the joke, don’t say or do it, even if it’s “all in good fun”.(如果他或她不太可能欣赏这个笑话，不要说或做，即使这是“好玩的”。)”说明了如果对方不喜欢这个笑话，那就不要讲了，和上文的“对他人敏感”相承接，故选G。 【18题详解】 空前“For example, sometimes it is used as a cover for avoiding painful emotions.(例如，有时它被用作避免痛苦情绪的掩护)”说明了幽默有时被用作避免痛苦情绪的掩护，空后“When you do that, you create confusion and mistrust in your relationships.(当你这样做的时候，你会在你们的关系中制造混乱和不信任)”说明了如果像空格处所说的那么做，就会造成混乱，说明空格处所说的做法不好，E选项“You can be funny about the truth, but hiding the truth isn’t funny.(你可以拿事实开玩笑，但隐瞒事实就不好笑了。)”说明了隐瞒事实不好，承上启下，符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 空格处是本段主旨句，由空后“Some find it easier than others to use humour, especially in tense situations. If your efforts aren’t going over well, start by using self-deprecating (自嘲的) humour. We all love people who don’t take themselves too seriously.

How to Develop Healthy Digital Habits In today’s digital world, teenagers spend increasing amounts of time on screens, which can negatively impact their physical and mental health. Developing healthy digital habits is essential for maintaining balance in life. The first step is to set clear boundaries for screen time. Experts recommend taking regular breaks using the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Turning off notifications during study time helps maintain concentration. Establishing “screen-free” zones, especially in bedrooms, can significantly improve sleep quality. Another important aspect is being mindful of online content. Following educational or inspirational accounts rather than those promoting unrealistic standards can boost mental well-being. Students should also schedule offline activities like sports, reading, or face-to-face socializing to maintain a healthy balance between virtual and real-world interactions. Parents and schools play a crucial role in modeling and teaching digital wellness. Open discussions about responsible technology use, cyberbullying prevention, and critical thinking about online information should be encouraged. Teachers can incorporate digital literacy into their curriculum to help students navigate the online world safely. By carrying out these strategies, teenagers can enjoy technology’s benefits while avoiding its risks. Healthy digital habits formed during school years will serve students well throughout their lives in our increasingly connected world. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The passage discusses the importance of developing healthy digital habits for teenagers.

For most of her life, Joy Ryan never saw the scenery beyond her home state of Ohio. Then, when she was in her mid-eighties, her grandson Brad Ryan decided to take her on a journey to all of the U. S. National Parks, which took eight years to complete. At the age of 93, Grandma Joy has finally seen all 63 parks, ending her journey in the National Park of American Samoa. “When I learned she had never seen the great wildernesses of America-deserts, mountains, oceans, I decided to intervene (干预) in some way,” Brad says. This idea inspired their first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. However, once they were on the road, Brad realized that they could visit more parks that were nearby. Over the years, they managed to see all of the famous sights at Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, the Redwoods, and so on. But Brad values the time spent with his grandmother just as much as the amazing places they were able to visit. Despite Grandma Joy’s older age, she was able to hike mountains. Brad regards her love for life as the key to her good health. She is grateful for each new day and is always excited for the next journey. Finally, their long journey across the U.S. came to an end with American Samoa. “I am thankful every morning for giving me another day,” Grandma Joy shares. “And you’re your choice whether you’re going to have a rainy day or a sunny day. So, smile at everybody, and let everybody know you’re having a whale of a time.” While her tour of the U. S. has come to a close, she and her grandson are not done traveling.

Laughter, the Best Medicine D. Travelling Contributes to Long Life C A Chinese motorcycle brand has made history. Last weekend, ZXMOTO secured two straight victories at the Superbike World Championship in Portugal. It was a monumental achievement for the brand in a sport long dominated (称霸) by European and Japanese giants. The story behind ZXMOTO is as inspiring as its victory. The brand was founded by Zhang Xue, a self-taught motorcycle enthusiast from a small village in Hunan Province. At 16, he started working in a repair shop. By 17, he had opened his own. At 19, he pursued a television crew for over 100 kilometers in the rain just to appear on screen — a bold move that helped him land a spot on a racing team. After co-founding another motorcycle company in 2017, Zhang decided to venture out on his own in 2024. Less than two years later, his motorcycles stood on the world podium (领奖台). When the victory came, Zhang burst into tears thousands of miles away in Chongqing. “It is not about chasing a trophy,” he later posted online. “It is about loving the ride. And that, perhaps, changes everything.” Industry experts said the victory proves how far Chinese manufacturing (制造业) has advanced. “For China to win both rounds in a world championship on a domestically developed production bike — that’s a first,” said Zhang Duo, senior editor at Motorcycle magazine. The company invested nearly 70 million yuan in research and development in 2025, even though it reported a loss. But the gamble is beginning to yield results. After the championship win, orders for ZXMOTO motorcycles surged to over 5,500 units within days. The company is now valued at about 1.09 billion yuan. For Zhang Xue, the victory is merely the starting point. His ambition for the next five years is to capture more than half of the large-displacement motorcycle market currently held by international brands. “Instead of competing on price, we are moving into the premium segment with superior performance and cutting-edge technology,” he said. 8. What first helped Zhang Xue enter the world of racing? A. Opening his own repair shop at 17. B. Pursuing a TV crew in the rain as a teenager. C. Co-founding a motorcycle company in 2017. D. Winning a championship in Portugal last weekend. 9. What does Zhang Duo mean in Paragraph 4? A. Chinese motorcycles are still behind global brands. B. Winning with a Chinese-made bike is a historic moment. C. Foreign brands no longer dominate the motorcycle market. D. The victory was mainly due to the rider’s excellent skills. 10. What does the underlined word “surged” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Rose slowly. B. Increased rapidly. C. Dropped sharply. D. Remained unchanged. 11. Which of the following best reflects the message of the story? A. Victory belongs to those who compete on price. B. Passion alone can guarantee success in business. C. A clear goal and strong will are key to achievement. D. Success requires both love for what you do and wise investment. D Music can have a great impact on emotion, energy, and even concentration. Many students turn to music as a way to enhance their focus during study, but not all types of music are equally effective. According to research on the relationship between music and concentration, music activates multiple areas of the brain, including the auditory cortex, which processes sound, and the limbic system, which manages emotions. By engaging these regions, music can help deal with emotions, keep you calm, and maintain your attention. However, music that is too loud, fast, or complex can overload these systems, making it harder to focus on cognitive (认知的) tasks. One of the most well-known studies on music and cognitive performance is the “Mozart Effect”, which suggests that listening to classical music, particularly Mozart, can improve visual reasoning and cognitive abilities. While later research has shown that the effect may not be as strong as initially believed, classical music is still widely regarded as a good option for studying due to its structured, calming nature. Given that not all music is equally beneficial, it’s important for students to match the music to the task at hand. For tasks that require deep concentration, such as problem-solving or reading, instrumental music with a slow tempo (节奏) is ideal, especially in noisy environments. For tasks that require less cognitive effort, such as organizing notes or working on creative projects, you may be able to handle more lively music or music with lyrics (歌词). Lyrics can be highly distracting during study, as they compete for your brain’s language-processing resources. This is especially true for tasks that involve reading, writing, or any activity that requires verbal processing. Creating your own study playlist allows you to match the music to your needs. Listening to songs that you’re already familiar with helps keep your brain focused on the task rather than getting caught up in new sounds. Moreover, if you’ve found particular music that works well for studying, add more of it to your playlist. Last, make your playlist long enough to last through your study. Constantly switching songs or playlists can break your concentration. 12. What does the research on music and concentration reveal? A. People’s preference for music varies. B. Music lovers tend to find joy in study. C. Music has a double-edged effect on study. D. Music improves people’s memory effectively. 13. What can be drawn from the “Mozart Effect”? A.

How to Develop Healthy Digital Habits In today’s digital world, teenagers spend increasing amounts of time on screens, which can negatively impact their physical and mental health. Developing healthy digital habits is essential for maintaining balance in life. The first step is to set clear boundaries for screen time. Experts recommend taking regular breaks using the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Turning off notifications during study time helps maintain concentration. Establishing “screen-free” zones, especially in bedrooms, can significantly improve sleep quality. Another important aspect is being mindful of online content. Following educational or inspirational accounts rather than those promoting unrealistic standards can boost mental well-being. Students should also schedule offline activities like sports, reading, or face-to-face socializing to maintain a healthy balance between virtual and real-world interactions. Parents and schools play a crucial role in modeling and teaching digital wellness. Open discussions about responsible technology use, cyberbullying prevention, and critical thinking about online information should be encouraged. Teachers can incorporate digital literacy into their curriculum to help students navigate the online world safely. By carrying out these strategies, teenagers can enjoy technology’s benefits while avoiding its risks. Healthy digital habits formed during school years will serve students well throughout their lives in our increasingly connected world. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
