(2026·杭州联考)No éclaircissement was needed after 13-year-old Faizan Zaki triumphed in the 21st round of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.The teen collapsed on the floor with excitement after correctly spelling “éclaircissement” and securing the national title—not to mention a trophy (奖杯) and $50,000.Zaki's win also coincided (巧合) with a major milestone: the 100th anniversary of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
When spelling the “M-E-N-T” in “éclaircissement”, Zaki, who comes from Allen, Texas, was understandably thrilled after coming in second place at last year's competition behind Bruhat Soma, who was 12 years old when he took home the trophy.
返回
‹#›
However, his victory didn't come without drama—Zaki nearly lost in round 18 when asked to spell “commelina”. Zaki started saying “K-A-M” before stopping himself and telling head judge Mary Brooks to “just ring the bell”, which she did.Zaki got another shot after 14-year-old Sarvadnya Kadam misspelled “Uaupes” in round 20—paving the way for his win with “éclaircissement”.
“Those last couple of letters, I was gasping for air,” Zaki said on “GMA.” “I was like hyperventilating with excitement.”
返回
‹#›
Zaki's win was notable not only for the final word and the Bee's centennial, but also because it marked the first time in nearly 25 years that a former runner-up (亚军) returned to win the title.According to ESPN, the last person to do so was Sean Conley, who was the 2001 champion.Zaki and Conley are members of an extremely exclusive club with just five members total from the event's 100 years.
The first National Spelling Bee began 100 years ago.However, Thursday's winner marked the 110th champion because there were eight winners in 2019 and two winners a few other times.
返回
‹#›
Nine students, aged 11 to 14,faced off Thursday on the final night of the Scripps National Spelling Bee.The competition started with 243 young spellers who qualified after advancing through local and regional bees.

5.Which word did Faizan Zaki misspell?( )

C.Uaupes. D.Hyperventilate.

A.They finished as runner-up twice.
B.They have won the championship twice.
C.They rose from runner-up to champion.

解析:C 推理判断题。根据第五段可知,扎基是近25年来首次以亚军身份返场并最终夺得冠军的选手。据ESPN报道,上一位取得这一成就的是2001年夺冠的肖恩·康利。故C项正确。

(2026·河北五校联考)There are special moments in history when the world throws up a torrent of genius.Consider how, in a single century, the world saw Descartes, Leibniz, and Newton, not to mention Shakespeare, Milton, and Bach.Or consider how, in one generation, someone could hypothetically have met Bismarck, Queen Victoria, Marie Curie, and Edison.
But all of this pales in comparison to what German philosopher Karl Jaspers called the “Axial Age”. It's here that we find the very origins of why we think the way we do today.

Modern humans have been around for roughly 250,000 years, and we've lived in complex societies for at least 6,000 years.Then, within a span of merely six centuries, there was a huge explosion of thought.From roughly 800 BCE to 200 BCE, all of the major civilizations produced incredible people with incredible ideas.
In Greece, we saw the likes of Socrates, Archimedes, Hippocrates, Plato, and Aristotle.In the Middle East, we got Jewish prophets like Isiah and Ezekiel, as well as Zoroaster in Persia.In India, we got the Buddha and the writing of the Hindu Upanishads.And in China, Confucianism and Daoism came into their own, as well as the famous Sun Tzu.

Seen up close, these thinkers can seem about as different as chalk and cheese.What could Lao Tzu's Dao and Aristotle's Eudaimonia have in common? How are Yahweh and Brahman similar? For Jaspers, when you zoom out a bit and see these thinkers as a whole, there are remarkable commonalities to be found.
The greatest of these is the move toward what's called “universalism”. Universal truths, universal religion, and universal morals.It's the idea that there are certain values and rules that ought to apply to everyone, everywhere, no matter the circumstances.

The Axial Age was an era where empires expanded outwards to become huge, both in terms of size and population.It was a time of the Persian and Carthaginian empires, the Roman Republic, and the Zhou Dynasty.This means several important things happened.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分)
(2026·合肥质检)For nearly a decade, I've interviewed scores of high achievers, from astronauts to Olympic gold medalists to Nobel Prize winners.What was revealing is that all high achievers had four things in common.
·Tap into your intrinsic (内在的) motivation.
__1__ Getting to the “why” behind your career choice is critical, as it will help you get in touch with your deepest motivations, block out distractions, and potentially adjust with your current path.For the highest achievers, it's not about the medals, rewards, or promotions.They all told me that they loved what they do, could not imagine another path, and would do it for free if they could.

·Get comfortable with failure.
Some people fear failing, while others fear succeeding.__2__ For them, it's not a question of if they can overcome a challenge; the focus is always on how they can.They consider alternative strategies and work fiercely to control what they can control, and ignore distractions.
·Reinforce your foundation.
Despite all of their achievements, high achievers never rest on their honours.Even if they've done a task or routine countless times, they still work on the basic skills foundational to their current—and future—success.__3__ It's also the strategy marathon runners use when they train in high altitudes so that running the race in normal conditions feels easier.

·__4__
The high achievers I spoke with are continuously open to learning, although it is rarely in the classroom.Many of the Nobel Prize winners I spoke to were also inspired as a result of their openness and curiosity.Several shared that their breakthrough ideas occurred through casual conversations with colleagues in cafeterias and laundry rooms.Conference lectures, coffee breaks and group meals are not just for building your network.__5__

A.Become a lifelong learner.
B.Be the best whatever you do.
C.It's where new ideas take root and develop.
D.Why did you enter your chosen profession?
E.High achievers fear “not trying” more than they fear failing.
F.In the military, people are similarly told to “train hard, fight easy”.
G.What should we do to realize our dreams and live a life without regret?

1.解析:D 本段在谈论我们从事一个行业的内在动力,另外结合下句中出现的“Getting to the ‘why’”可知,上句应该是一个由“why”引起的问句。故D项符合语境。
2.解析:E 本段建议我们要坦然面对失败,E项符合语境,说明取得巨大成就者不惧怕失败,而害怕未曾尝试。
3.解析:F 根据下句中的“It's also the strategy marathon runners use”可知,上句提到了一种策略,因此F项符合语境。F项表达的意思是:平时训练刻苦一些,战场上打仗就轻松一些。
