B     Chinese speed skater Ning Zhongyan delivered a career-defining performance at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics,securing his first Olympic gold medal in the men's 1,500 m event.      Racing on Thursday, Ning completed three laps around the oval track in 1 minute and 41.98 seconds，resetting the Olympic record.The magnitude of his achievement left him emotional and almost in disbelief,especially after overcoming the event's overwhelming favorite,two-time world champion Jordan Stolz of the United States.Ning's victory marked the Chinese delegation's first gold medal in ice sports at these Games and only the second Olympic title in history for Chinese men's speed skating.      "I still can't believe I did it.That I' ve climbed over the mountain,which seemed insurmountable for so long,"said emotional Ning after lengthy celebrations with his coaches and teammates.Stolz,who had been the dominant force in the sport,was the"mountain"Ning had struggled to conquer in previous competitions     Stolz,who had already won gold in the 500 m and 1,000 m earlier in the Games,praised Ning's breakthrough performance,acknowledging,"Today he had a better race.It was super good." Celebrating wildly with Ning was his Dutch coach,Johan de Wit,who had taken Ning into his training camp three years ago when Ning failed to medal at the Beijing 2022 Games.Training systematically with De Wit and two-time Olympic champion Miho Takagi in Japan,Ning significantly improved his consistency. De Wit noted,"By watching him skate,you can feel that good performances are coming."       Ning's golden dash was part of a remarkable two-day celebration for China.The victory followed snowboarder Su Yiming's gold in men's slopestyle on Wednesday.Shortly after Su's victory,five-time Olympian Xu Mengtao delivered China's second gold by delivering a multi-flip stunt(多周翻转动作)to defend her women's freestyle skiing aerials(空中技巧)title,becoming the world's only aerials skier to retain an Olympic gold in the discipline.Additionally,freestyle skier Wang Xindi added to the country's gold haul on Friday,building on his wife Xu Mengtao's achievement.      Ning's victory,built on two earlier bronze medals in the 1,000 m, proved the value of his dedication and the trust within Team Gold.His emotional victory,described by many as a game-changer in the sport,not only fulfilled his personal dream but also underscored China's growing strength on the Olympic stage. 24.What does the underlined word"insurmountable"in Paragraph 3 most probably mean？ A. Effortless to overcome. B. Impossible to conquer. C. Dangerous to approach. D. Unwilling to acknowledge. 25.What is the main idea of Paragraph 4？ A. The detailed techniques Ning used to win the race.

Chinese Skaters Dominate the Speed Skating Rink C. A Night of Celebrations for the Chinese Olympic Delegation D. Ning Zhongyan's Golden Breakthrough at the 2026 Winter Games C April 23 is World Book Day, a global event organized by UNESCO to encourage reading. On this day, people are invited to step away from their busy lives to lose themselves in a story. However, staying focused on a book has become much harder today because of what experts call "digital distraction. " The problem is not just a lack of free time, but a change in how our brains process information. As smartphones, tablets, and social media take up more attention, many people find it difficult to concentrate on one thing for long. Dr. Maryanne Wolf, a neuroscientist at Tufts University and author of Reader, Come Home, warns that constant digital use may be changing the way we read. While we are becoming better at scanning for quick information, we are losing the ability for "deep reading, " which is necessary for careful thinking and understanding other people's feelings. Recent studies show some worrying trends. One study found that many teenagers today have smaller vocabularies (词汇量) and weaker reading skills than those from a century ago. In addition, the percentage of young people who read for pleasure has dropped from 37% to just 17%. While heavy schoolwork contributes to this drop, the main reason is the easy fun provided by social media. Many young people now prefer watching short videos or listening to podcasts, missing the unique experience of decoding (解码) a long text and imagining a world in their minds. Regardless of these challenges, printed books remain a powerful tool for our minds. Literature, in particular, is more than just a collection of stories; it helps us develop "cognitive patience"— the ability to focus and think deeply. The act of reading also guides us into the lives of different characters, helping us understand people who are different from ourselves. In this way, books allow us to see the world through others' eyes. On World Book Day — or any day — taking time to read quietly is an important choice. Even in a noisy digital world, reading lets us connect with the deep and meaningful voices of human experience. 28.What is the author's purpose in writing Paragraph 1? A. To explain a rule. B. To introduce an event. C. To present a problem. D. To describe busy lives. 29.What is Dr. Maryanne Wolf's major concern? A. The lack of free time for daily reading. B. The loss of the ability to think and feel deeply. C. The high cost of owning digital products. D. The slow speed of scanning for quick information. 30.What can we infer from the studies mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. Teenagers read more today. B. Social media affects reading. C. Reading for pleasure is rising. D. Videos help build imagination. 31.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The mental value of books. B. The history of literature. C. The methods of deep reading. D. The power of different characters. D   Paris is full of cultural significance.Yet,despite its wealth of cultural hotspots and architectural delights,some tourists who explore the City of Light experience"Paris syndrome(巴黎综合征), a psychological condition that often results in nausea(恶心) and increased heart rates.An interesting phenomenon is that Paris syndrome is"most common among Japanese tourists".Why？      Many Japanese visitors go with a deeply romantic picture of Paris—the beauty of French women,the high culture and art.But when the reality of the modern city of Paris sets in,with its seemingly unfriendly service and confusing public transport,some tourists simply find their hope falling through.      "An encounter with a Parisian waiter who shouts at customers might be laughed off by those from other Western cultures.But for the Japanese—used to a society where politeness is valued and voices are rarely raised in anger—the experience of their dream city turning into a nightmare can simply be too much,"said Rodanthi Tzanelli,a professor of cultural sociology.       So Paris syndrome should be regarded as an extreme form of culture shock,which is an illness resulting from the loss of meaning when people find themselves in a different symbolic reality, according to Rachel Irwin,a senior researcher.The symptoms associated with culture shock are similar to those experienced by someone who is feeling anxious.According to the analysis of Calm Clinic, a mental health resource platform,when someone is experiencing anxiety,signals that are related to the fight or flight response will be sent to the stomach.The signals change the way the body processes food,causing nausea.      Besides,Tzanelli points out that the syndrome is not specific to Paris and nobody can be free of culture shock as long as they go to new places.The syndrome is likely a"general phenomenon",as younger generations tend to travel to different countries,and are likely to be more aware of what they'll encounter at a destination.Therefore,they're unlikely to be bitterly disappointed when they're there. 32.Why do Japanese tourists experience great discomfort in Paris？ A. Paris lacks real historical and cultural hotspots. B. Paris fails to meet their romantic expectations. C. They find Paris' public transport less modern. D. They cannot adapt to the local climate. 33.What does Rodanthi Tzanelli aim to explain in paragraph 3？ A. How culture influences the behavior of tourists. B. How Japanese tourists react to Paris syndrome. C. Why Paris syndrome particularly strikes the Japanese. D. Why the Japanese value politeness and avoid conflicts. 34.What conclusion about culture shock can be drawn from Rachel Irwin's words？ A. It can be seen everywhere. B. It leads to people's mental illness. C. It damages people's sense of self-identity. D. It's due to conflicts between different cultural contexts. 35.What will be the author's advice on overcoming Paris syndrome？ A. To be prepared for new encounters in advance. B. To focus on the positive aspects of a destination. C. To visit new places together with young people. D. To avoid going to unfamiliar destinations. 第二节、阅读七选五：（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分共12.5分）。       As we walked along the street recently,my friend suddenly sighed, "How I miss the ice-cream my grandma used to buy me after school!" 36 ,which cost her 9.8 yuan,almost 10 times higher than the "grandma ice cream". But it was just one of the fair-priced treats. 37 It was written by a user who claimed he "randomly picked a plain-looking ice-cream" in a store,and was shocked when the register showed it was 68 yuan.He bought it anyway,but said that every bite tasted more bitter than sweet. "Never pick any brand of ice-cream you're not familiar with," the Weibo user wrote. I miss the good old days too,but on second thoughts,I don't believe that some expensive ice-cream means the market is "corrupted" 38 .Consumption upgrades may boost demand and expensive ice-cream exists because some consumers like it. Zhao Xuekuan,a senior ice-cream dealer agrees with me.His shop has probably the widest variety of ice-creams m the market. 39 ,but young customers favor fancier ones.They are quite particular about the ingredients,expecting they provide not only good tastes,but also high protein and low calories. 40 .It's a good thing that recently，the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a new rule that goods must be sold with a clearly marked price tag,or the retailer will be fined up to 100,000 yuan.Let the fair play carry on and consumers will make their own choices. A.They don't choose cheaper ones B.The other day I read a post on Weibo C.While walking,she was licking on one D.The development of a market has its own rules E.For the past few months,many cities went through lockdown F.Of course,market supervisors should still monitor ice-cream pricing closely G.He said that the bestsellers in his shop are always classic types that cost less than 5 yuan each 第3部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）。         In 1958,during the holiday season,a young student named John Cruitt faced a life-altering tragedy.His mother  41   just two days before Christmas.On the day she died,John had    42  to decorate the Christmas tree when he came home from school.    43  ,his aunt brought the heartbreaking news.During the mourning period for his mother,John was  44   to learn that his teacher,Mrs.Doyle,had come to show her support.Mrs.Doyle later shared that she could understand John's  45 because her own father had died when she was just eleven.         When John returned to school,Mrs.Doyle was aware of his   46  state.She waited until the other children had left the room at the end of the day to speak with him in   47  .She told him she was there if he needed her and kissed him gently on the head.For John,this was a(n)  48 moment where he felt someone truly understood his pain.         Decades later,after John became a teacher himself,he  49 to write Mrs.Doyle a letter to express his  50   .This heartfelt message    51  her 54 years later,at a very difficult time when her husband was suffering from a terrible   52   .Mrs.Doyle,feeling the overwhelming weight of her husband's poor health,found the letter deeply   53  .Finally,both individuals 54 that their brief connection and simple acts of   55    had made a lasting difference in each other's lives. 41.A. broke down B. turned around C. passed out D. passed away 42.A. expected B. forced C. allowed D. invited 43.A.

But last Friday, it did. The photo was me — at age six, crying on a tricycle (三轮车), wearing a silly rainbow helmet my mom had bought. I looked like a frightened turtle. The problem? My mom had posted it on her social media with the words, “My little guy’s first crash! Some things never change!” My phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. “Dude, your mom’s post is funny.”“ Is that really you?”“ Rainbow helmet!” By the time I got home, the photo had been shared over a hundred times. I stood in the kitchen, holding my phone out to her, my face burning. “Mom, take it down. Now.” She looked up from chopping vegetables, confused. “What? It’s just a cute picture.” “It’s not cute. Everyone at school is laughing at me.” “They’re laughing with you, sweetie.” “No, they’re not.” My voice cracked. “You don’t get it. You never get it!” She put down the knife, her expression shifting. “I didn’t mean to embarrass you. But it’s just a silly old photo —” “It’s not silly to me!” I shouted. “Everything I do ends up online. Nothing is mine anymore. Not even my own childhood.” The kitchen fell silent. My mom’s hand froze on the counter, her face unreadable. I turned and walked out, grabbing my jacket. “I’m going for a walk,” I muttered, and the door closed behind me before she could respond. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I walked to the park nearby, the cold air slowly cooling my anger. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I finally returned home, I found mom waiting in the living room. 第1页，共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
