Yet for disabled, elderly, low-income individuals, or those without a smartphone or credit card, these services are practically out of reach. Such services tend to gather in wealthy urban areas, leaving users largely young, wealthy, and able-bodied. Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this, but various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reach under-served communities. ●Buffalo’s E-Bike Library: Organizes training, group rides and educational events to familiarize people with cycling culture and safety, with 71% of members being first-time riders. ●Mobitwin’s car-share service: Prioritizes email-and phone-based bookings over apps to extend reach to a wider share of the population lacking digital literacy, helping them access the service more easily. ● U. S. bike-sharing policy: Provides fare reductions for low-income groups, with cash payment options and non-smartphone access as key measures to broaden adoption, which has shown promise in increasing the use of shared bikes while decreasing the use of personal vehicles. ●Graz’s car-share initiatives: Add wheelchair-accessible vehicles, child seats, and station-based booking to suit diverse users’ trip-chaining needs, such as mid-route pickups and multi-destination trips. The future of shared mobility relies on making inclusive design a top priority. As Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact, puts it, “It’s about starting with people’s needs.” 1. What is the percentage gap between lower and higher income users in Barrier 1? A. 3%. B. 16%. C. 26%. D. 71%. 2. Which solution targets Barrier 2? A. Buffalo’s E-Bike Library. B. Graz’s car-share initiatives. C. U. S. bike-sharing policy. D. Mobitwin’s car-share service. 3. What will shape the future of shared mobility according to Esen Köse? A. Tech-based priority. B. Charity-run initiatives. C. Profit-driven providers. D. User-centered accessibility. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章主要讲述共享单车存在的问题以及解决方法。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表Barrier 1部分信息可知，Higher income的比例是26%，Lower income的比例是42%，差距是16%，故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表信息可知，Barrier 2“High cost of the system (系统成本高)”是关于共享系统的高成本，再结合“U. S. bike-sharing policy: Provides fare reductions for low-income groups, with cash payment options and non-smartphone access as key measures to broaden adoption, which has shown promise in increasing the use of shared bikes while decreasing the use of personal vehicles. (美国共享单车政策：为低收入群体提供车费减免，以现金支付方式和非智能手机接入作为扩大采用的关键措施，这在增加共享单车的使用同时减少个人车辆的使用方面显示出了希望。)”可知，美国共享单车政策旨在降低共享单车的成本，故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The future of shared mobility relies on making inclusive design a top priority. As Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact, puts it, ‘It’s about starting with people’s needs.’ (共享出行的未来取决于将包容性设计作为重中之重。正如Mpact的项目经理Esen Köse所说，‘这是从人们的需求开始的。’)”可知，Esen Köse认为共享出行的未来将由以用户为中心的可使用性来塑造，故选D。 B Entering summer, tens of thousands of hectares of wine grapes turn into a green ocean in the Gobi Desert in northwest China. At the eastern foothill of Helan Mountain in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Argentine winemaker Federico Carabajal shuttles busily between the vineyard and the cellar, trimming (修剪) grape shoots or blending different wines to achieve his desired style. Carabajal, 32, comes from Mendoza, a famous wine production zone in Argentina. Born into a winemaker’s family, he acquired a master’s degree in grape cultivation and winemaking and worked in many famous wineries (葡萄酒厂) in Argentina, Spain and the United States before heading to China as a chief winemaker in a winery last year. “The climate and soils here are very similar to my hometown, and the terroir can definitely produce quality wine,” he said, adding that Ningxia’s high-quality wines performed exceptionally well in international competitions, luring him to come and make top-class wine in China. In recent years, Ningxia has emerged as a rising star on the world wine map. The region has introduced over 210 grape varieties from around the world for wine production and has collaborated with more than 60 winemakers from 23 countries. These efforts have significantly advanced local grape cultivation practices and elevated the region’s winemaking techniques. Last year, Carabajal faced his first harvest in China, but unexpected rainfall forced an earlier-than-planned grape picking. While he was overwhelmed with anxiety, his Chinese colleagues remained calm, steadily carrying out the tasks at hand. Their composure (镇静) brought him much-needed comfort. Despite some difficulties, Carabajal plans to stay in China for at least one more year. “I’m happy working here, and I hope the exchange between China and Argentina will greatly benefit both wine industries,” he said. 4. What can be inferred about Carabajal from paragraph 2? A. He is highly influential in the wine industry. B. He prefers working in China to other countries. C. He is qualified and experienced in winemaking. D. He plays a major role in wine culture exchanges. 5. What attracted Carabajal to work in Ningxia? A. Ningxia’s high demand for winemakers. B. His interest in China’s winemaking culture. C. His desire to learn different winemaking skills. D. Ningxia’s potential to produce top-quality wine. 6. What drives the growth of Ningxia’s wine industry according to paragraph 4? A. Massive publicity. B. Government assistance. C. International cooperation. D. Technological innovation. 7. Which of the following best describes Carabajal’s work in Ningxia? A. Dull but rewarding. B. Tough but well-paid. C. Demanding but fun-filled. D. Challenging but promising. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了阿根廷酿酒师卡巴哈尔在中国宁夏酿酒的经历及宁夏葡萄酒产业的发展。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Born into a winemaker’s family, he acquired a master’s degree in grape cultivation and winemaking and worked in many famous wineries (葡萄酒厂) in Argentina, Spain and the United States before heading to China as a chief winemaker in a winery last year.(他出生在一个酿酒师家庭，获得了葡萄栽培和酿酒硕士学位，并在阿根廷、西班牙和美国的许多著名葡萄酒厂工作，去年作为一家葡萄酒厂的首席酿酒师来到中国)”可知，卡巴哈尔在酿酒方面是合格且有经验的。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中““The climate and soils here are very similar to my hometown, and the terroir can definitely produce quality wine,” he said, adding that Ningxia’s high-quality wines performed exceptionally well in international competitions, luring him to come and make top-class wine in China.(“这里的气候和土壤与我的家乡非常相似，这里的风土条件肯定能产出优质的葡萄酒。”他说道，并补充说，宁夏的高品质葡萄酒在国际比赛中表现极为出色，这促使他来到中国酿造顶级葡萄酒)”可知，宁夏有生产顶级葡萄酒的潜力吸引了卡巴哈尔来宁夏工作。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The region has introduced over 210 grape varieties from around the world for wine production and has collaborated with more than 60 winemakers from 23 countries. These efforts have significantly advanced local grape cultivation practices and elevated the region’s winemaking techniques.(该地区引进了来自世界各地的210多种葡萄品种用于葡萄酒生产，并与来自23个国家的60多名酿酒师合作。这些努力显著推进了当地的葡萄栽培实践，提高了该地区的酿酒技术)”可知，国际合作推动了宁夏葡萄酒产业的发展。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Last year, Carabajal faced his first harvest in China, but unexpected rainfall forced an earlier-than-planned grape picking. While he was overwhelmed with anxiety, his Chinese colleagues remained calm, steadily carrying out the tasks at hand. Their composure (镇静) brought him much-needed comfort.(去年，卡巴哈尔在中国迎来了他的第一次收获，但意外的降雨迫使葡萄采摘比计划提前。当他焦虑不安时，他的中国同事们保持冷静，稳步地完成手头的任务。他们的镇定给了他急需的安慰)”以及最后一段中“Despite some difficulties, Carabajal plans to stay in China for at least one more year.(尽管有一些困难，卡巴哈尔仍计划至少再在中国待一年)”可知，卡巴哈尔在宁夏的工作虽然有挑战性，但很有前途。 C Across human history, it’s a curious observation that while the majority of people lead lives that could be described as mediocre (平庸的), a select few rise above, making significant impacts that change the world. This difference is not simply the result of talent but of psychological and social forces that shape individual paths. One of the main reasons most people remain average is the comfort of the familiar. Humans naturally tend to seek stability and security, which often leads to a preference for routine and predictability. This desire for comfort can prevent risk-taking, which is crucial for significant breakthroughs and innovations. The fear of failure and the unknown keeps many within the limits of mediocrity, as stepping out means facing uncertainty. Education systems frequently exacerbate this pattern. They tend to prioritize standardization and regulation over creativity and critical thinking. Students are often rewarded for providing the “right” answers rather than exploring alternative solutions. This approach can limit innovative thinking and discourage them from taking intellectual risks. By the time these individuals start their careers, they are skilled at following established procedures but may lack the confidence or ability to challenge the current situations. Social expectations also play a significant role in shaping behavior. From a young age, individuals are often encouraged to follow a conventional path: good grades, stable jobs, and social approval. This leaves little room for experimentation, and those who depart from this path often face criticism. Psychological issues, such as fear of failure and self-doubt, can prevent individuals from fighting for greatness. As a result, only those with a high level of self-awareness and resilience — qualities often developed through experience and adversity (逆境) — are able to break free from social limits and pursue their own path. While the comfort of the familiar and social expectations keep many within the bounds of average, those who rise above do so by embracing risk, challenging conventions, and cultivating resilience. By understanding these factors, we can work towards creating a world where more people have the opportunity and the courage to change the world. 8. What primarily keeps most people in mediocrity? A. Preference for comfort. B. Lack of self-confidence. C. Fear of public criticism. D. Focus on short-term results. 9. Which of the following best explains “exacerbate” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Prevent. B. Worsen. C. Improve. D. Simplify. 10. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. Receiving education is critical to making breakthroughs. B. Psychological anxiety weakens personal will in adversity. C. Most people make decisions based on social expectations. D. Inner strength enables individuals to break social limits. 11. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To discuss barriers to achieving greatness. B. To advocate critical thinking in education. C. To encourage people to challenge themselves. D. To stress the importance of embracing uncertainty. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要分析了“多数人趋于平庸，只有少数人能够脱颖而出改变世界”这一话题的多重原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One of the main reasons most people remain average is the comfort of the familiar.(大多数人保持平庸的主要原因之一，是熟悉带来的舒适感)”可知，偏好舒适让大多数人保持平庸。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“They tend to prioritize standardization and regulation over creativity and critical thinking. Students are often rewarded for providing the “right” answers rather than exploring alternative solutions. This approach can limit innovative thinking and discourage them from taking intellectual risks.(他们往往更注重标准化和监管，而非创造力和批判性思维。学生通常因提供“正确”的答案而获得奖励，而不是探索其他解决方案。这种做法可能限制创新思维，并使他们不敢承担智力上的风险)”可知，教育体系压抑创新，让安于平庸的状态加剧，故划线词意思是“恶化，加剧”。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“As a result, only those with a high level of self-awareness and resilience — qualities often developed through experience and adversity (逆境) — are able to break free from social limits and pursue their own path.(因此，只有具备高度自我觉察和韧性的人——这些品质往往通过经历与逆境而培养出来——才能摆脱社会的束缚，走上属于自己的道路)”可知，内在的力量使个人能够突破社会的界限。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Across human history, it’s a curious observation that while the majority of people lead lives that could be described as mediocre (平庸的), a select few rise above, making significant impacts that change the world. This difference is not simply the result of talent but of psychological and social forces that shape individual paths.(纵观人类历史，一个有趣的观察是：尽管大多数人过着可称为平庸的生活，但少数人脱颖而出，产生了重大影响，改变了世界。这种差异并非仅仅源于天赋，而是由心理和社会因素共同塑造的个体发展路径所致)”结合文章主要分析了多数人趋于平庸的多重原因。可知，文章目的是讨论实现卓越的障碍。 D In the latest revolutionary development, medical science has achieved a milestone by successfully implanting (植入) eye implants in blind patients to restore their vision. The new electronic implants, named “Prima system”, have helped people with incurable sight-loss to see again, opening up a potential new era in tackling blindness. The Prima chip (芯片) is surgically implanted directly under the retina (视网膜). It is light-powered and works together with a pair of purpose-built glasses. When legally blind patients wear the glasses after having the chip implanted in their eyes, the camera on the glasses projects visual data to the chip. The infrared light that carries the camera’s signals to the chip also stimulates vital nerve cells in the retina, sending information to the patient’s brain. For the study, 38 patients from five European countries participated in a trial of the Prima implant, manufactured by California-based Biotech Science Corporation. Doctors who implanted the devices said that the trial found 84% of participants were once again able to read letters, numbers and words after receiving the Prima implants. Mahi Muqit, a senior consultant at Moorfields Eye Hospital, explains that the technology enables blind patients to achieve meaningful restoration of central vision. “These are elderly patients who were no longer able to read, write or recognize faces due to loss of vision. They’ve gone from living in darkness to being able to use their vision again, which lifts their mood and helps to restore their confidence and independence,” Muqit said. In addition to practicing their reading and attending regular training sessions, patients in the trial were encouraged to explore different ways to use the device. 70-year-old patient Sheila Irvine from Wiltshire chose to learn to do puzzles and crosswords, while a French patient used the device to help navigate the Paris Metro, both tasks being more complex than reading alone. “The rehabilitation process is key to the device. It’s not like you put a chip in an eye and then you can see again. You need to learn to use this type of vision,” said Muqit. 12. What do we know about the Prima system from paragraph 2? A. It helps blind patients repair damaged retinas. B. It provides a solution for various eye diseases. C. It requires patients to undergo several surgeries. D. It relies on multiple high-tech components to function. 13. What does Mahi Muqit intend to convey in paragraph 3? A. The patients’ vision can be restored to normal levels. B. The treatment can help improve the patients’ well-being. C. Older patients showed better outcomes than younger ones. D. The devices require more trials to prove their effectiveness. 14. What is essential for patients to use the Prima system according to Mahi Muqit? A. Practicing to adapt to the devices. B. Attending regular medical check-ups. C. Performing more difficult visual tasks. D. Completing daily tests of reading ability. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Smart Glasses: An Innovation in Eye Care B. Clinical Evaluation of the Prima Vision Device C. A New Revolution in Retinal Implant Technology D. Prima System: A Breakthrough for Sight Restoration 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍了一款名为 Prima system的眼部植入系统帮助失明患者重获视力。多国临床试验成效显著，患者恢复读写能力，但使用者需经过训练才能熟练适配该设备。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When legally blind patients wear the glasses after having the chip implanted in their eyes, the camera on the glasses projects visual data to the chip. The infrared light that carries the camera’s signals to the chip also stimulates vital nerve cells in the retina, sending information to the patient’s brain.(失明患者植入芯片后戴上这款专用眼镜，镜框上的摄像头会将视觉数据传输至芯片。传递信号的红外光同时刺激视网膜上的重要神经细胞，进而把视觉信息传送至患者大脑)”可知，Prima系统依赖多个高科技组件才能运行。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They’ve gone from living in darkness to being able to use their vision again, which lifts their mood and helps to restore their confidence and independence(他们从生活在黑暗中，重新获得了视力，这提升了他们的精神状态，帮助恢复了自信和独立性)”可知，这种治疗有助于改善患者的健康状况。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““The rehabilitation process is key to the device. It’s not like you put a chip in an eye and then you can see again. You need to learn to use this type of vision,” said Muqit.(“康复过程是这种设备的关键。这不像你把芯片放进眼睛就能看见东西一样，你需要学会使用这种视觉。”穆基特说)”可知，患者使用Prima系统需要练习以适应设备。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the latest revolutionary development, medical science has achieved a milestone by successfully implanting (植入) eye implants in blind patients to restore their vision. The new electronic implants, named “Prima system”, have helped people with incurable sight-loss to see again, opening up a potential new era in tackling blindness.(在最新的革命性进展中，医学科学取得了一项里程碑式的成就——成功为盲人植入眼内植入物，恢复其视力。这种名为“Prima系统”的新型电子植入物帮助了无法治愈视力丧失的人重新看见世界，为对抗失明开辟了一个崭新的可能时代)”结合文章主要介绍了一款名为 Prima system的眼部植入系统帮助失明患者重获视力。多国临床试验成效显著，患者恢复读写能力，但使用者需经过训练才能熟练适配该设备。可知，D选项“Prima系统：视力恢复的突破性进展”最符合文章标题。 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。 Nowadays, this kind of scene is common in almost every household: Upon returning home from work, we sink into the sofa, devoting uninterrupted hours to the engagement with mobile devices. What begins as a way to mentally relax or catch up on the news quickly becomes hours spent “doomscrolling (末日刷屏)”. ____16____ Many feel driven to keep scrolling by the fear of missing out on updates. Although scrolling through social media may seem like a way to stay updated, studies indicate that this behavior can lead to reduced psychological health and lower overall life satisfaction. However, effective strategies exist to address this issue. One method people have successfully replaced time on their phones is with a hobby that encourages mindfulness, meaning focusing our attention on the present moment and experiencing our thoughts and feelings without judgment. ____17____ They hold positive attention. When we’re focused on a craft, our hands are busy ____18____ Creative hobbies that require attention, such as coloring, can also act as a “flow activity”, where we feel fully engaged in what we’re doing, thus losing hours doomscrolling. They provide a sense of achievement. Doomscrolling can leave people feeling a loss of control, but mindful hobbies provide a sense of control along with amazing results, like a colorful drawing. ____19____ ____20____ By engaging in a new hobby, we also join a community of people with similar interests. This opens us up to more positive social interactions, thereby generating a better sense of well-being. A. They offer a sense of commitment. B. They promote interpersonal communication. C. Consequently, we’ll be too engaged to reach for our phones. D. This is especially true for activities requiring patience and skill. E. It is an act of spending a lot of time browsing negative content on social media. F. Personal accomplishments contribute significantly to psychological well-being. G. Here are some ways mindful hobbies can help us break our doomscrolling habit. 【答案】16. E 17. G 18. C 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，分析了“末日刷屏”现象的危害，并提出通过培养正念爱好来克服这一习惯的策略，具体阐述了正念爱好在转移注意力、提供成就感及促进社交方面的积极作用。 【16题详解】 根据上文“What begins as a way to mentally relax or catch up on the news quickly becomes hours spent “doomscrolling (末日刷屏)”(最初作为放松或浏览新闻的方式，很快演变为数小时的‘末日刷屏’)”以及下文“Many feel driven to keep scrolling by the fear of missing out on updates(许多人因害怕错过更新而被迫不断滚动)”可知上文说的是“末日刷屏”的由来，下文说的是许多人因害怕错过更新而被迫不断滚动，进一步描述其负面特征；E项“It is an act of spending a lot of time browsing negative content on social media(这是一种花大量时间浏览社交媒体负面内容的行为)”承接上文，对“doomscrolling”这一术语进行定义解释，符合语境。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“However, effective strategies exist to address this issue. One method people have successfully replaced time on their phones is with a hobby that encourages mindfulness, meaning focusing our attention on the present moment and experiencing our thoughts and feelings without judgment(然而，有有效的策略可以解决这一问题。人们成功替代玩手机时间的一种方法是培养一种鼓励正念的爱好，即专注于当下时刻，无评判地体验自己的思绪和感受)”以及下文“They hold positive attention(它们吸引积极的注意力)”、“They provide a sense of achievement(它们提供一种成就感)”可知，本段提出应对“末日刷屏”的解决方案，下文分点阐述正念爱好的具体作用。G项“Here are some ways mindful hobbies can help us break our doomscrolling habit(以下是正念爱好帮助我们戒除‘末日刷屏’习惯的一些方式)”承上启下，引出后文关于正念爱好如何在戒除‘末日刷屏’方面所起到作用的详细阐述，逻辑紧密，故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“When we’re focused on a craft, our hands are busy(当我们专注于一项手艺时，双手忙碌)”及下文“Creative hobbies that require attention, such as coloring, can also act as a “flow activity”, where we feel fully engaged in what we’re doing, thus losing hours doomscrolling(需要集中注意力的创造性爱好，比如涂色，也可以作为一种“心流活动”，在这种活动中我们会感到完全沉浸于正在做的事情，从而忘记花费数小时无休止地浏览)”可知，上文说的是我们专注做事的时候，双手会忙碌，下文举例说明需要集中注意力的爱好会让人全神贯注而不再碰手机；C项“Consequently, we’ll be too engaged to reach for our phones(因此，我们会因全身心投入而无暇碰手机)”与上文构成因果关系，指出专注于一项手艺就会无暇碰手机，引出下文的举例阐述，符合语境，故选C项。 【19题详解】 上文“They provide a sense of achievement. Doomscrolling can leave people feeling a loss of control, but mindful hobbies provide a sense of control along with amazing results, like a colorful drawing.(它们提供了一种成就感。‘末日刷屏’会让人感觉失去控制，但有意识的爱好会给人一种控制感，并带来惊人的结果，比如一幅彩色的画。)”，指出正念爱好能带来成就感，F项“Personal accomplishments contribute significantly to psychological well-being(个人成就对心理健康有显著贡献)”承接上文指出成就感有助于心理健康，符合语境，故选F项。 【20题详解】 设空处为本段主旨句；根据下文“By engaging in a new hobby, we also join a community of people with similar interests. This opens us up to more positive social interactions, thereby generating a better sense of well-being(通过参与一项新爱好，我们还能加入一个有着相似兴趣的群体。这为我们打开了更多积极社交互动的大门，从而产生更强的幸福感)”可知，本段主要阐述新的爱好能促进社交互动，从而产生更强的幸福感，B项“They promote interpersonal communication(它们促进人际交流)”能够概括本段主旨，适合作为主题句，故选B项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Not all heroes wear capes, but some do have the power to change a person’s life.

Amelia was known throughout Seaford for her adventurous nature. From the moment she could walk, she would eagerly run towards the crashing waves, feeling the sand between her toes and the cool spray of the ocean mist on her face. She was a woman with a strong will and possessed a heart full of kindness. Amelia’s love for the ocean was intense, and she spent most of her days exploring the beautiful beaches and sparkling waters that surrounded her house. One sunny morning, while Amelia was walking along the shore, she noticed a group of restless seagulls abnormally circling above the crashing waves. Their unusual calls echoed (回) through the air. Concerned for their well-being, she followed their flight pattern, her instincts guiding her toward danger. As she approached a towering cliff, Amelia gasped in horror. On a narrow ledge (岩架), high above the violent waves, was a young dolphin trapped in a thick fishing net. Its shiny body shone under the golden rays of the sun, but its freedom was cruelly limited by the trap. With each struggle, the net tightened around its delicate body, leaving painful marks on its skin. Its tail flapped helplessly, each movement a request for help, while its desperate cries for assistance echoed through the air. A sense of urgency filled her, pushing her forward with determination and resolve. Realizing that time was tight, Amelia knew she had to act instantly to free this innocent creature from its difficult position before it submitted to exhaustion or the force of the tides. 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。 Paragraph 1: Without hesitation, Amelia rushed back to the village. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As the dolphin was released into the waters, it hesitated for a moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Without hesitation, Amelia rushed back to the village. She gathered the villagers to join her in the rescue. Amelia led the way, carefully moving along the steep cliff edge until she reached the dolphin. As she drew closer, she noticed tears streaming out of the creature’s eyes, as if it knew its fate was in their hands. Amelia carefully freed the dolphin from the net. Then Amelia and the villagers guided it down to the waiting boat. Then they made their way back to the shore and treated the injuries of the dolphin. As the dolphin was gently released into the calm, welcoming waters, it hesitated for a moment. Amelia approached the dolphin and gently stroked it. The dolphin touched the girl with the tip of its nose in response and made happy sounds as if to say a final thank you before diving gracefully beneath the surface. The crowd erupted in applause, their hearts filled with joy and gratitude for being witness to such a remarkable rescue. Amelia’s courage and compassion were an inspiration to all who heard her story. 【解析】 【导语】本文以救援海豚为线索展开，讲述了一位热爱海洋勇敢善良的年轻女子Amelia，召集村民和她一起救援被困海豚的故事，Amelia在悬崖边上发现有一只小海豚被困在渔网里，她立刻跑回村子，召集村民帮忙和她一起救援，她小心翼翼地把海豚救出来，和村民们一起把受伤的海豚带到船上，送海豚去治疗，当海豚重回大海时，感谢Amelia和村民们，对于Amelia的勇气和同情心，大家深受鼓舞。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Amelia毫不犹豫地跑回了村子。”可知，第一段可描写Amelia召集村民，和她一起救援被困海豚的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“当海豚被轻轻地放进平静、舒适的水域时，它犹豫了一会儿。”可知，第二段可描写海豚对它的恩人Amelia以及村民们表示感激之情。 2.续写线索：发现被困的海豚——决定救出海豚——召集村民帮忙救援——成功救出海豚——送去治疗——海豚重回大海——海豚对救援者表示感激——升华主题 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① .接近靠近：drew closer/approached near ②.治疗：treated/cured ③.爆发：erupted /burst out 情绪类 ①.喜悦：joy/delight/pleasure ②.充满感激：be filled with gratitude/be full of gratitude/be fully grateful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Yet for disabled, elderly, low-income individuals, or those without a smartphone or credit card, these services are practically out of reach. Such services tend to gather in wealthy urban areas, leaving users largely young, wealthy, and able-bodied. Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this, but various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reach under-served communities. ●Buffalo’s E-Bike Library: Organizes training, group rides and educational events to familiarize people with cycling culture and safety, with 71% of members being first-time riders. ●Mobitwin’s car-share service: Prioritizes email-and phone-based bookings over apps to extend reach to a wider share of the population lacking digital literacy, helping them access the service more easily. ● U. S. bike-sharing policy: Provides fare reductions for low-income groups, with cash payment options and non-smartphone access as key measures to broaden adoption, which has shown promise in increasing the use of shared bikes while decreasing the use of personal vehicles. ●Graz’s car-share initiatives: Add wheelchair-accessible vehicles, child seats, and station-based booking to suit diverse users’ trip-chaining needs, such as mid-route pickups and multi-destination trips. The future of shared mobility relies on making inclusive design a top priority. As Esen Köse, project manager at Mpact, puts it, “It’s about starting with people’s needs.” 1. What is the percentage gap between lower and higher income users in Barrier 1? A. 3%. B. 16%. C. 26%. D. 71%. 2. Which solution targets Barrier 2? A. Buffalo’s E-Bike Library. B. Graz’s car-share initiatives. C. U. S. bike-sharing policy. D. Mobitwin’s car-share service. 3. What will shape the future of shared mobility according to Esen Köse? A. Tech-based priority. B. Charity-run initiatives. C. Profit-driven providers. D. User-centered accessibility. B Entering summer, tens of thousands of hectares of wine grapes turn into a green ocean in the Gobi Desert in northwest China. At the eastern foothill of Helan Mountain in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Argentine winemaker Federico Carabajal shuttles busily between the vineyard and the cellar, trimming (修剪) grape shoots or blending different wines to achieve his desired style. Carabajal, 32, comes from Mendoza, a famous wine production zone in Argentina. Born into a winemaker’s family, he acquired a master’s degree in grape cultivation and winemaking and worked in many famous wineries (葡萄酒厂) in Argentina, Spain and the United States before heading to China as a chief winemaker in a winery last year. “The climate and soils here are very similar to my hometown, and the terroir can definitely produce quality wine,” he said, adding that Ningxia’s high-quality wines performed exceptionally well in international competitions, luring him to come and make top-class wine in China. In recent years, Ningxia has emerged as a rising star on the world wine map. The region has introduced over 210 grape varieties from around the world for wine production and has collaborated with more than 60 winemakers from 23 countries. These efforts have significantly advanced local grape cultivation practices and elevated the region’s winemaking techniques. Last year, Carabajal faced his first harvest in China, but unexpected rainfall forced an earlier-than-planned grape picking. While he was overwhelmed with anxiety, his Chinese colleagues remained calm, steadily carrying out the tasks at hand. Their composure (镇静) brought him much-needed comfort. Despite some difficulties, Carabajal plans to stay in China for at least one more year. “I’m happy working here, and I hope the exchange between China and Argentina will greatly benefit both wine industries,” he said. 4. What can be inferred about Carabajal from paragraph 2? A. He is highly influential in the wine industry. B. He prefers working in China to other countries. C. He is qualified and experienced in winemaking. D. He plays a major role in wine culture exchanges. 5. What attracted Carabajal to work in Ningxia? A. Ningxia’s high demand for winemakers. B. His interest in China’s winemaking culture. C. His desire to learn different winemaking skills. D. Ningxia’s potential to produce top-quality wine. 6. What drives the growth of Ningxia’s wine industry according to paragraph 4? A. Massive publicity. B. Government assistance. C. International cooperation. D. Technological innovation. 7. Which of the following best describes Carabajal’s work in Ningxia? A. Dull but rewarding. B. Tough but well-paid. C. Demanding but fun-filled. D. Challenging but promising. C Across human history, it’s a curious observation that while the majority of people lead lives that could be described as mediocre (平庸的), a select few rise above, making significant impacts that change the world. This difference is not simply the result of talent but of psychological and social forces that shape individual paths. One of the main reasons most people remain average is the comfort of the familiar. Humans naturally tend to seek stability and security, which often leads to a preference for routine and predictability. This desire for comfort can prevent risk-taking, which is crucial for significant breakthroughs and innovations. The fear of failure and the unknown keeps many within the limits of mediocrity, as stepping out means facing uncertainty. Education systems frequently exacerbate this pattern. They tend to prioritize standardization and regulation over creativity and critical thinking. Students are often rewarded for providing the “right” answers rather than exploring alternative solutions. This approach can limit innovative thinking and discourage them from taking intellectual risks. By the time these individuals start their careers, they are skilled at following established procedures but may lack the confidence or ability to challenge the current situations. Social expectations also play a significant role in shaping behavior. From a young age, individuals are often encouraged to follow a conventional path: good grades, stable jobs, and social approval. This leaves little room for experimentation, and those who depart from this path often face criticism. Psychological issues, such as fear of failure and self-doubt, can prevent individuals from fighting for greatness. As a result, only those with a high level of self-awareness and resilience — qualities often developed through experience and adversity (逆境) — are able to break free from social limits and pursue their own path. While the comfort of the familiar and social expectations keep many within the bounds of average, those who rise above do so by embracing risk, challenging conventions, and cultivating resilience. By understanding these factors, we can work towards creating a world where more people have the opportunity and the courage to change the world. 8. What primarily keeps most people in mediocrity? A. Preference for comfort. B. Lack of self-confidence. C. Fear of public criticism. D. Focus on short-term results. 9. Which of the following best explains “exacerbate” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Prevent. B. Worsen. C. Improve. D. Simplify. 10. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. Receiving education is critical to making breakthroughs. B. Psychological anxiety weakens personal will in adversity. C. Most people make decisions based on social expectations. D. Inner strength enables individuals to break social limits. 11. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To discuss barriers to achieving greatness. B. To advocate critical thinking in education. C. To encourage people to challenge themselves. D. To stress the importance of embracing uncertainty. D In the latest revolutionary development, medical science has achieved a milestone by successfully implanting (植入) eye implants in blind patients to restore their vision. The new electronic implants, named “Prima system”, have helped people with incurable sight-loss to see again, opening up a potential new era in tackling blindness. The Prima chip (芯片) is surgically implanted directly under the retina (视网膜). It is light-powered and works together with a pair of purpose-built glasses. When legally blind patients wear the glasses after having the chip implanted in their eyes, the camera on the glasses projects visual data to the chip. The infrared light that carries the camera’s signals to the chip also stimulates vital nerve cells in the retina, sending information to the patient’s brain. For the study, 38 patients from five European countries participated in a trial of the Prima implant, manufactured by California-based Biotech Science Corporation. Doctors who implanted the devices said that the trial found 84% of participants were once again able to read letters, numbers and words after receiving the Prima implants. Mahi Muqit, a senior consultant at Moorfields Eye Hospital, explains that the technology enables blind patients to achieve meaningful restoration of central vision. “These are elderly patients who were no longer able to read, write or recognize faces due to loss of vision. They’ve gone from living in darkness to being able to use their vision again, which lifts their mood and helps to restore their confidence and independence,” Muqit said. In addition to practicing their reading and attending regular training sessions, patients in the trial were encouraged to explore different ways to use the device. 70-year-old patient Sheila Irvine from Wiltshire chose to learn to do puzzles and crosswords, while a French patient used the device to help navigate the Paris Metro, both tasks being more complex than reading alone. “The rehabilitation process is key to the device. It’s not like you put a chip in an eye and then you can see again. You need to learn to use this type of vision,” said Muqit. 12. What do we know about the Prima system from paragraph 2? A. It helps blind patients repair damaged retinas. B. It provides a solution for various eye diseases. C. It requires patients to undergo several surgeries. D. It relies on multiple high-tech components to function. 13. What does Mahi Muqit intend to convey in paragraph 3? A. The patients’ vision can be restored to normal levels. B. The treatment can help improve the patients’ well-being. C. Older patients showed better outcomes than younger ones. D. The devices require more trials to prove their effectiveness. 14. What is essential for patients to use the Prima system according to Mahi Muqit? A. Practicing to adapt to the devices. B. Attending regular medical check-ups. C. Performing more difficult visual tasks. D. Completing daily tests of reading ability. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Smart Glasses: An Innovation in Eye Care B. Clinical Evaluation of the Prima Vision Device C. A New Revolution in Retinal Implant Technology D. Prima System: A Breakthrough for Sight Restoration 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。 Nowadays, this kind of scene is common in almost every household: Upon returning home from work, we sink into the sofa, devoting uninterrupted hours to the engagement with mobile devices. What begins as a way to mentally relax or catch up on the news quickly becomes hours spent “doomscrolling (末日刷屏)”. ____16____ Many feel driven to keep scrolling by the fear of missing out on updates. Although scrolling through social media may seem like a way to stay updated, studies indicate that this behavior can lead to reduced psychological health and lower overall life satisfaction. However, effective strategies exist to address this issue. One method people have successfully replaced time on their phones is with a hobby that encourages mindfulness, meaning focusing our attention on the present moment and experiencing our thoughts and feelings without judgment. ____17____ They hold positive attention. When we’re focused on a craft, our hands are busy ____18____ Creative hobbies that require attention, such as coloring, can also act as a “flow activity”, where we feel fully engaged in what we’re doing, thus losing hours doomscrolling. They provide a sense of achievement. Doomscrolling can leave people feeling a loss of control, but mindful hobbies provide a sense of control along with amazing results, like a colorful drawing. ____19____ ____20____ By engaging in a new hobby, we also join a community of people with similar interests. This opens us up to more positive social interactions, thereby generating a better sense of well-being. A. They offer a sense of commitment. B. They promote interpersonal communication. C.

Amelia was known throughout Seaford for her adventurous nature. From the moment she could walk, she would eagerly run towards the crashing waves, feeling the sand between her toes and the cool spray of the ocean mist on her face. She was a woman with a strong will and possessed a heart full of kindness. Amelia’s love for the ocean was intense, and she spent most of her days exploring the beautiful beaches and sparkling waters that surrounded her house. One sunny morning, while Amelia was walking along the shore, she noticed a group of restless seagulls abnormally circling above the crashing waves. Their unusual calls echoed (回) through the air. Concerned for their well-being, she followed their flight pattern, her instincts guiding her toward danger. As she approached a towering cliff, Amelia gasped in horror. On a narrow ledge (岩架), high above the violent waves, was a young dolphin trapped in a thick fishing net. Its shiny body shone under the golden rays of the sun, but its freedom was cruelly limited by the trap. With each struggle, the net tightened around its delicate body, leaving painful marks on its skin. Its tail flapped helplessly, each movement a request for help, while its desperate cries for assistance echoed through the air. A sense of urgency filled her, pushing her forward with determination and resolve. Realizing that time was tight, Amelia knew she had to act instantly to free this innocent creature from its difficult position before it submitted to exhaustion or the force of the tides. 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。 Paragraph 1: Without hesitation, Amelia rushed back to the village. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As the dolphin was released into the waters, it hesitated for a moment. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
