B In a stunning upset that has sent shockwaves through the world of motorcycle racing,French rider Valentin Debise clinched()a commanding victory for Chinese manufacturer ZX Moto at the World Superbike Championship (WSBK)Supersport round held in Portugal last Saturday. Riding the brand-new 820RR-RS model developed independently by ZX Moto,Debise reached the finish line nearly four seconds ahead of all other competitors.Famous traditional racing powerhouses including Ducati,Yamaha and Kawasaki all fell behind.This remarkable achievement is a historic breakthrough,as ZX Moto has become the first Chinese motorcycle brand to claim a championship title in the world-famous WorldSBK competition.Watching the race live in Chongqing,Zhang Xue,founder of ZX Moto,shared a heartfelt post on social media,summarizing his long and tough journey:"When you stick to a career out of genuine passion rather than just chasing success,you will eventually get unexpected rewards.” The glorious victory is never accidental.It is built on Zhang Xue's years of perseverance.The 39- year-old entrepreneur was born in the remote and impoverished mountainous area of Huaihua,Hunan Province.His life took a big turn in 2006.At the age of 19,he took the initiative to contact a local TV station,saying he was skilled at motorcycle stunts(摩托车特技)and hoped to be recorded.The TV crew gave up and left after watching him fall down many times.Determined not to lose this rare chance,Zhang rode over 100 kilometers in the heavy rain to catch up with the team.His sincere efforts touched the staff, who finally agreed to offer him one hour of airtime.Thanks to this short program,he signed a contract with a professional racing team and stepped into the racing circle officially. However,constant sports injuries and tight budgets made him realize that he would never become a top professional racer.He then made a career change.In 2013,he came to Chongqing with only a small amount of savings.He sold refitted motorcycles(改装摩托车)online to accumulate startup funds.Four years later,he co-founded Kove Moto.Under his efforts,the brand's annual sales grew from 800 units to 30,000 units.After leaving Kove Moto,Zhang set up ZX Moto in Chongqing in April 2024,devoting himself fully to this new career. 24.What made ZX Moto's victory in Portugal especially remarkable? A.It marked Debise's first appearance in WSBK Championship. B.It proved the 820RR-RS was used by most riders in the race. C.It showed that a Chinese brand could beat established racing powers. D.It helped ZX Moto replace Ducati and Yamaha in WSBK Championship. 高二英语试卷第4页（共10页） 25.How did Zhang Xue get his first real chance to enter the racing world? A.He won the TV crew over through persistence B.He gained notice after a difficult stunt show. C.He got help from a local team after the program. D.He used online sales to fund his racing career. 26.What can be inferred from Zhang Xue's career path? A.Media attention ensured his later success. B.Racing setbacks destroyed his motorcycle dream. C.Kove Moto made his business success effortless. D.His racing past helped shape his business vision. 27.Which of the following best describes Zhang Xue? A.Talented and easy-going. B.Sensitive and reserved. C.Determined and forward-looking. D.Ambitious and humble. C Scientists at MIT have published a study suggesting that rice seeds can sense the sound of raindrops hitting water.The researchers believe that the seeds use this information to help them "decide"when to sprout(发芽). The researchers wanted to make sure that the seeds were responding to the sound of rain rather than to rainwater itself.Therefore,they focused on rice seeds,which are usually grown in water,so that all the seeds would be equally wet.For the experiment,they placed thousands of rice seeds in shallow pools of water,where all the seeds had enough water to sprout.Some pools were kept completely quiet,while others were hit with falling drops of water to imitate light,medium,or heavy rain. On average,the seeds exposed to the artificial raindrops sprouted about 30-40%faster than those kept in quiet pools.The scientists believe that this faster sprouting might give the seeds a better chance of surviving.Dr.Nicholas Makris,who led the study,says,"The energy of the rain sound is enough to accelerate a seed's growth." Although it may seem strange to think of seeds as"hearing,"sound is simply a form of vibration( )The researchers believe that the seeds respond to vibrations in the water caused by falling raindrops, which are much stronger underwater than in the air.Inside the seed cells are tiny,heavy grains called "statoliths."Like snow in a snow globe,these grains help seeds determine which way is down,allowing their roots to grow into the soil and their shoots to grow toward the light.When the vibrations from the water drops reached the seeds,these statoliths shook around inside the seed cells.The scientists think this may have triggered the seeds to sprout earlier. The researchers believe that sensing the sound of rain may help seeds determine whether they are in a suitable place to grow.Seeds that can detect rain vibrations are probably close enough to the surface to receive moisture()and grow toward the light. 28.How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A.By presenting a personal story. B.By comparing different viewpoints. C.By referring to a scientific study. D.By raising a practical question. 高二英语试卷第5页（共10页） 29.What did the experiment find about the seeds exposed to the fake raindrops? A.They sprouted faster indoors than they would have in natural rain. B.They showed a clear sprouting advantage over those in silent water. C.They required more water to achieve the same sprouting speed. D.They only sprouted faster when the rain was heavy enough. 30.What does the underlined word"triggered"mean? A.Relieved. B.Activated. C.Liberated. D.Motivated. 31.What might be the best title of the passage? A.Rice Seeds Sense the Sound of Rain. B.Rice Seeds Grow Faster in Quiet Pools. C.Scientists Discover How Statoliths Work. D.Growing Rice Requires Artificial Raindrops. D In the blink of an eye,artificial intelligence (AI)has rapidly entered every walk of life,from self- driving taxis to software that reads X-rays,to virtual assistants that can schedule meetings and draft e- mails.However,will AI displace entire industries as mechanized factories did before? 美 Like past world-changing tools such as mechanical cloth-making machines,AI is set to reshape the workplace greatly.But techno-pessimists argue AI's impact has never been seen before.Economists estimate AI could rob 40%of jobs,with machines replacing much skilled human work and note that even remaining jobs may see declining wages due to reduced labor value.Amid these worries,2024 Nobel Prize fiu -winning economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson advise learning from David Ricardo's flexible in thinking about the early Industrial Revolution. pa In his work Principles of Political Economy and Taxation,economist Ricardo initially supported new spinning machines ()believing they would promote productivity for all.Though home spinners be were displaced,many shifted to weaving ()However,technology changed everything:one machine fo outperformed 10-20 handweavers,ending cottage industry.Displaced weavers had no choices as factories 0 created few new jobs,leading to falling wages and social unrest.Witnessing these consequences,Ricardo transformed his view.His 1821 revised work acknowledged that factors boosting national income might also de lead to overpopulation and worsen laborers'conditions. In England eventually learned from the struggles of handweavers and the working class.The government expanded political representation for industrial cities,passed the 1833 Factory Act to manage child labor, and ended the protectionist Corn Laws in the 1840s to lower food costs. ser The history repeats itself today.As the AI era approaches,Johnson notes that AI has attracted col enormous talents,similar to the late-1990s Internet boom,but history-especially the Industrial Revolution-shows that "new miracle machines do not guarantee benefits for most people."With me thoughtful policies,AI can avoid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future.When technology enj is guided by wisdom and responsibility,it can become a powerful tool that lifts people up,reduces inequality,and brings greater opportunities to all. 32.Which question can paragraph 2 answer? A.How might AI reshape the job market? B.Why has technology replaced human work? C.Who suffered most from the Industrial Revolution? D.What did cloth-making machines bring to workers? 高二英语试卷第6页（共10页）》 33.Why did David Ricardo change his attitude? A.The closure of cottage industry. B.The indifference of the government. C.The appearance of spinning and weaving. D.The suffering of workers and the society. 34.What message does the text intend to convey? A.Every step forward is progress. B.History is where you find the future. C.Technology makes the complex simple. D.With great power comes great responsibility. 35.What might be talked about following the last paragraph? A.Details of David Ricardo's theories. B.Policy examples for guiding Al. C.The introduction of the Internet boom. D.The development of AI technology. 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项。 Finding Your Own Pace in a High-Speed High School Walking through the hallways,it is easy to feel like you are falling behind.You see classmates finishing advanced math while you struggle with the basics,or hear friends discussing weekend internships while you just want to sleep.This constant comparison creates a silent anxiety known as "pace panic..”36. The first step to overcoming this anxiety is recognizing that everyone has a different timeline.Just because your best friend mastered the violin in two years does not mean you are failing if it takes you four.37. _Focusing on your own progress,rather than someone else's achievements,is the key to mental well-being. However,stepping off the comparison treadmill is easier said than done.When your study group decides to skip lunch to review for a chemistry test,the pressure to join in is immense.38. Instead of blindly following the crowd,ask yourself,"Is this study method actually working for me?" 39.Society often tells us that success means getting straight A's and joining ten clubs.However,success may mean something different to each person.Maybe success for you this semester is simply maintaining a healthy sleep schedule or finally understanding a difficult physics concept.Small,personal victories matter just as much as big awards. Finally,remember that high school is a marathon,not a sprint.40. By protecting your mental energy and trusting your own path,you will find that you not only survive high school but actually enjoy the journey. A.Burnout is a real risk. B.It is also important to define success in your own way. C.Here is how to find a rhythm that truly works for you. D.Growth cannot be rushed or measured by the same clock. E.At such moments,it may seem natural to copy their habits. F.Therefore,following successful students is always the safest choice. G.Keeping up with others may require giving up your personal interests. 高二英语试卷第7页（共10页） 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 Bopsy grew up in a happy family,but one day he was diagnosed with a serious illness.When the six -year-old boy faced terrible cancer,his mother made a 41 -his dream wouldn't die with him.Noticing how his face 42 at passing fire trucks,she asked Bopsy,"Sweetheart,what do you want to be when you grow up?" “A firefighter,”he said with excitement.“I want to43_people like them.” The next day,she visited the fire station where the chief fireman Bob 44 her idea.Three days later,firefighters arrived at the hospital with a 45 uniform.The small boy was carefully 46 and carried to the fire truck by the 47 firefighters.

It was the day before payday,and I'd just come off a night shift.My eyes burned with tiredness as I dragged my feet toward the station.I thought I had enough money on my travel card,but I didn't.At first,I thought it was a problem with my card,so I approached a staff member.From the name tag on her chest,I knew her name was Lucy."Excuse me,"I said,my voice rough from the night shift,"I think my card might not be working." She looked up from her paperwork,her tired eyes softening as she noticed my messy appearance. "Let me check that for you,"Lucy said.Later,Lucy's eyebrows drew together in concem as she studied the screen."You're all out of money on your card."She printed a receipt showing my top-up history( )usage records,and the balance.Sure enough,the balance read zero.This brought me to the edge of tears,as it meant being stuck in the rough area for over twelve hours until my paycheck arrived. "I...I see,"I managed to say.I explained helplessly that I wouldn't be paid until the next day and needed to get home to town.I spoke quickly and awkwardly,my words all mixed up. Lucy leaned slightly over the counter,and listened to me carefully,like a mother bird observing a fallen chick.I really wanted to borrow money from her,but I felt too embarrassed to ask because I didn' t know her at all.I guessed she wouldn't trust a stranger easily-maybe she would even laugh at me.How disappointed I felt！ 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Surprisingly,Lucy reached into her own pocket and handed me her staff card. The next day,I brought homemade cookies to Lucy. 高二英语试卷第10页（共10页）
