So make sure you don’t leave it to the last minute, and apply in plenty of time.(我们的资格检查意味着签发护照至少需要一周的时间。所以确保你不要把它留到最后一分钟，并在足够的时间内申请。)”可知，第一次申请护照要知道申请至少一个星期时间才能得到护照。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Help with your application is just around the corner部分中的“If your need is urgent, call 0870–521–0410 for an appointment at one of our offices.(如果您的需求是紧急的，请致电0870-521-0410在我们的一个办公室预约。)”可知，你可以通过打电话预约来满足你的紧急需要。故选B。 【3题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“If you’re planning to get away from it all this year, you should think about your passport first. Checking whether you have a valid passport before you book your trip takes minutes but can save you the trouble and the cost of not being able to go.(如果你打算今年远离这一切，你应该首先考虑你的护照。在预订旅行之前检查你是否有有效护照需要几分钟，但可以节省你的麻烦和不能去的费用。)”和下文内容可知，文章主要介绍了申请护照的一些注意事项，因此，文章主要讲的是申请护照须知。故选D。 B Zhang Yupeng, a 23-year-old from Hebei province, made history by winning China’s first gold medal in jewelry-making at the 47th WorldSkills Competition in Lyon. His victory resulted from years of dedicated practice. “Mental strength is everything,” Zhang emphasized, explaining how countless hours of training developed his muscle memory. During the intense four-day competition, he overcame challenges through steady focus, particularly when crafting a complex bird-shaped hairpin that nearly defeated him. The competition exposed Zhang to global craftsmanship styles. He noticed Chinese participants emphasized artistic design, while Japanese and Korean competitors focused on precision. Initially intimidated, Zhang gained confidence through this international exchange. His success stems from vocational education at Beijing Arts & Crafts Technician College, where he spent five years refining his skills. He believes vocational training helps students discover unique talents beyond traditional academic paths. Now a teacher, Zhang adopts personalized teaching methods. He identifies students’ strengths in design or craftsmanship and tailors instruction accordingly. His “learning by doing” approach prepares students for diverse careers in jewelry design, appraisal, or even social media influencing. He stresses combining technical skills with creative thinking to produce valuable works. Zhang represents a new wave of craftsmen blending tradition with innovation. As an apprentice in filigree inlay — a national intangible cultural heritage — he merges ancient techniques like metal threading with modern jewelry structures. While traditional designs often use gemstones for luxury, Zhang creates fresh interpretations by incorporating delicate filigree patterns into nature-inspired pieces. Currently reflecting on his five-year journey, Zhang believes his true masterpiece is yet to come. “Innovation requires systematic reflection,” he says, demonstrating how modern craftsmen honor tradition while pushing creative boundaries. 4. What was the key factor in Zhang’s success in the competition? A. Years of practice. B. Mental strength. C. Muscle memory. D. Natural talent. 5. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Amazed. B. Confused. C. Familiar. D. Frightened. 6. What can best describe Zhang? A. Persistent and disciplined. B. Knowledgeable and creative. C. Innovative and heritage-conscious. D. Open-minded and humble. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. A New Generation of Craftsmen B. A Platform for Young Talents C. The Key to Craftsmanship Success D. A Heritage Revived by Young Artists 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了23岁的河北青年张宇鹏在第47届世界技能大赛上获得中国首枚珠宝制作金牌的故事，介绍了他的成长经历、教学理念以及如何将传统工艺与现代创新相结合。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“His victory resulted from years of dedicated practice. “Mental strength is everything,” Zhang emphasized, explaining how countless hours of training developed his muscle memory. (他的胜利源于多年的专注练习。“精神力量就是一切，”张强调说，并解释了无数个小时的训练是如何培养他的肌肉记忆的。)”可知，虽然多年的练习是成功的基础，但张宇鹏特别强调了“精神力量是一切”，这说明精神力量是他在比赛中成功的关键因素。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“He noticed Chinese participants emphasized artistic design, while Japanese and Korean competitors focused on precision. (他注意到中国参赛者注重艺术设计，而日本和韩国参赛者则注重精准度。)”以及划线词所在句“Initially intimidated, Zhang gained confidence through this international exchange. (起初有些intimidated的张，通过这次国际交流增强了信心)”可知，张宇鹏一开始看到其他国家选手的特长时可能会感到有些害怕，但通过国际交流获得了信心，故画线词intimidated意思应是“害怕的”，与Frightened意义相近。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Zhang represents a new wave of craftsmen blending tradition with innovation. As an apprentice in filigree inlay — a national intangible cultural heritage — he merges ancient techniques like metal threading with modern jewelry structures. (张宇鹏代表了将传统与创新融合的新一代工匠。作为国家级非物质文化遗产 —— 花丝镶嵌的学徒，他将金属拉丝等古老技艺与现代珠宝结构相结合。)”可知，张宇鹏将古老技艺与现代珠宝结构相结合，说明他具有创新意识和传承意识。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。纵览全文，并结合倒数第二段中“Zhang represents a new wave of craftsmen blending tradition with innovation.(张宇鹏代表了将传统与创新相结合的新一代工匠。)”可知，文章主要讲述了在第47届世界技能大赛上，来自河北的23岁选手张宇鹏赢得了中国首枚珠宝制作金牌，他代表了将传统与创新相结合的新一代工匠。因此，“A New Generation of Craftsmen (新一代工匠)”最符合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 C If you find yourself embracing the thrilling chaos of completing tasks at the last minute, congratulations — You are not alone! According to a survey, 20% of U.S. adults procrastinate (拖延) at home, at work, in relationships, and more. Another survey found that 88% of people procrastinate at least one hour a day. Sounds alarming? As it turns out, if you’re feeling stressed, you may be more likely to procrastinate. Essentially, our brains are structured to approach tasks we find enjoyable and avoid those we are afraid of. Our limbic brain (边缘大脑), the emotional part of our brain, is screaming, “Let’s do anything but that stressful thing!” while our prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) is the CEO of our brain, setting the goals, making a plan, and ensuring we stay on track. CEO vs. Drama Queen Brain — who will win? Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message. Then there’s the burst of energy we often get when we’re up against a deadline, which leads to a reward pathway within our brains and sets the foundation for procrastination as a habit. When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!” So, how to beat procrastination? Well, you need to retrain your brain to cope with the stress. One trick is to take periodic breaks (reward) to refocus your attention on the task. Ever heard of the Promodoro Technique? It’s about working for 25 minutes and resting for 5. During those breaks, forget about brain-burning activities — try relaxing techniques such as meditation or yoga instead. Another trick is to “eat the frog” first thing in the morning, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day, as was once said by Mark Twain. 8. Why are the two surveys mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To warn the readers. B. To introduce a concept. C. To present a phenomenon. D. To make a comparison. 9. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with? A. We are born to prefer what we like and avoid what we fear. B. The limbic brain is under the control of the prefrontal cortex. C. We are more likely to burst when getting close to the deadline. D. Failing to complete a task can lead to habitual procrastination. 10. What does the author suggest readers do to stop procrastination? A. Force the brain to focus. B. Take a break regularly. C. Solve a tricky math problem. D. Eat something refreshing first. 11. What is the tone of this text? A. Humorous. B. Ironic. C. Serious. D. Unclear. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要解释了拖延症的心理学机制和克服拖延症的方法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“If you find yourself embracing the thrilling chaos of completing tasks at the last minute, congratulations—You are not alone! According to a survey, 20% of U.S. adults procrastinate (拖延) at home, at work, in relationships, and more. Another survey found that 88% of people procrastinate at least one hour a day.(如果你发现自己在最后一分钟才完成任务，那么恭喜你——你并不孤单!根据一项调查，20%的美国成年人在家里、工作中、人际关系中等等都有拖延症。另一项调查发现，88%的人每天至少拖延一个小时)”可知，本段提到这两个调查是为了呈现一种拖延现象。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Essentially, our brains are structured to approach tasks we find enjoyable and avoid those we are afraid of.(从本质上讲，我们的大脑结构倾向于处理我们觉得有趣的任务，避开我们害怕的任务)”可知，作者会同意我们生来就喜欢我们喜欢的东西，避免我们害怕的东西。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“So, how to beat procrastination? Well, you need to retrain your brain to cope with the stress. One trick is to take periodic breaks (reward) to refocus your attention on the task.(那么，如何战胜拖延症呢?你需要重新训练你的大脑来应对压力。其中一个诀窍是定期休息(奖励)，让你的注意力重新集中到任务上)”可知，作者建议读者定期休息来停止拖延症。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“CEO vs. Drama Queen Brain — who will win? Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message.(首席执行官vs戏剧女王大脑——谁会赢?事实上，当我们的边缘大脑覆盖前额叶皮层的信息时，确实存在这种可能性)”，倒数第二段“When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!”(当你冲向终点并最终达到目标时，你之前的压力消失了，你几乎进入了“看，我在压力下工作得更好!”的模式)”以及最后一段“Another trick is to “eat the frog” first thing in the morning, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day, as was once said by Mark Twain.(另一个诀窍是“吃掉青蛙”，正如马克·吐温曾经说过的那样，早上要做的第一件事，或者处理一天中最困难和最有压力的任务)”可知，作者用比喻的手法，幽默的语言来说明拖延症，所以本文的基调是幽默的。故选A项。 D According to legend, the first-ever marathon was so exhausting that the Greek messenger, who dashed 40km from the battlefield to Athens, collapsed and died. Over the past 2,500 years, humans have become better at running. Eight of the ten fastest times in female marathon have been recorded since 2022. This can to a large extent be explained by the development of a new generation of hyper-bouncy running shoes — “super-shoes” — that offer athletes greater assistance. Such has been the improvement that some have questioned whether the technology is now too dominant. No doubt that athletes are breaking records because of their footwear. Both Nike and Adidas have persuaded World Athletics to permit shoes with chunky, foam soles (鞋底), which act as springs. When their feet compress the super-shoes into the ground, the runners receive more energy as they push off again. In 2017 Nike announced the new technology allowed athletes to use 4% less energy than they would if wearing a regular shoe. Those who would like the shoes banned worry that the balance between the runners’ ability and footwear has become twisted. Plainly, though, this is a long way from shoes that matter more than runners. A club runner may set a personal best in a pair of Nike Alphaflys, but she is not going to outrun Ms. Assefa(world champion) wearing regular shoes. World Athletics insists such super-shoes should be available to all athletes in order to be legal, so there is no risk of results being determined by a lack of access to the best equipment. Part of the appeal of sports is that they show humans on an upward trajectory (轨迹), becoming stronger, faster and fitter. Technology has always contributed to this. But as the sports industry has more investment, the motivations to find an edge in performance have grown, whether in kit, diet or game strategy. Surely, advances have to be controlled. But banning super-shoes would be opposing progress and difficult to enforce. This is a genie (精灵) that cannot be returned to its shoebox. 12. What has improved female marathon records since 2022? A. The changes of rules. B. The advance in sports kit. C. The assistance of coaches. D. The development of humans. 13. What is centered on about super-shoes in paragraph 2? A. The principle. B. The history. C. The challenge. D. The drawback. 14. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Ms. Assefa runs slowly in regular shoes. B. Using super-shoes is regarded as dishonest. C. Nike Alphaflys better athletes’ performance. D. Access to super shoes determines athletes’ success. 15. What does the last paragraph imply? A. Athletics should not embrace super-shoes. B. There is nothing to fear about technological advances. C. Not all investments have led to advances in technology. D. It is impossible for sports industry to control super-shoes. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，文章由“超级鞋”引出了科技产品的开发和进步促成了体育比赛记录的进步这一现象并对其进行了探讨。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Eight of the ten fastest times in female marathon have been recorded since 2022. This can to a large extent be explained by the development of a new generation of hyper-bouncy running shoes— “super-shoes”—that offer athletes greater assistance.(女子马拉松比赛的10个最快成绩中，有8个是在2022年之后创造的。这在很大程度上可以解释为新一代超弹性跑鞋的发展——“超级鞋”——为运动员提供更大的帮助)”可知，运动装备的进步帮助提高了女性马拉松记录。故选B项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“No doubt that athletes are breaking records because of their footwear. Both Nike and Adidas have persuaded World Athletics to permit shoes with chunky, foam soles(鞋底), which act as springs. When their feet compress the super-shoes into the ground, the runners receive more energy as they push off again.(毫无疑问，运动员打破纪录是因为他们的鞋子。耐克和阿迪达斯都已经说服世界田联允许使用厚实的泡沫鞋底，这种鞋底可以起到弹簧的作用。当他们的脚将超级跑鞋压入地面时，跑步者在再次起跑时获得更多的能量)”可知，第二段描述了“超级鞋”的运用原理。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“A club runner may set a personal best in a pair of Nike Alphaflys, but she is not going to outrun Ms. Assefa(world champion) wearing regular shoes.(一个俱乐部跑步者可能会穿着一双耐克Alphaflys创造个人最好成绩，但她不可能穿普通鞋跑过阿塞法（世界冠军）)”可推知，作者认为穿着耐克Alphaflys鞋子可以改善运动员的表现。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Part of the appeal of sports is that they show humans on an upward trajectory, becoming stronger, faster and fitter. Technology has always contributed to this. But as the sports industry has more investment, the motivations to find an edge in performance have grown, whether in kit, diet or game strategy. Surely, advances have to be controlled. But banning super-shoes would be opposing progress and difficult to enforce.(体育运动的部分吸引力在于，它们展示了人类在上升的轨迹上，变得更强、更快、更健康。技术一直是促成这一点的因素。但随着体育产业投资的增加，无论是在装备、饮食还是比赛策略方面，寻求表现优势的动机也在增长。当然，进步必须得到控制。但禁止超级鞋将会阻碍进步，而且很难执行)”可知，技术进步促成比赛成绩进步这是正常的，进步虽然要在一定程度上进行控制，但是禁止技术超级鞋是不容易实现的。我们不应该太多担心技术进步。故选B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。 Simple Steps to Help You Cope With Anxiety Anxiety involves feelings of worry, fear, and depress.

My heart sank. It usually means one of two things: low tire pressure or tire sensor failure. The temperature outside dropped below freezing, and the icy wind blew through my coat as I pulled into the driveway. I hoped it was just a tire pressure problem that could be easily solved with a quick pump. But deep down, I knew it could be more complicated. The next morning, I drove to the tire shop as soon as it opened. The mechanic on duty greeted me with a friendly smile but informed me that they were fully booked with appointments. My car was pushed to the bottom of the list. I glanced at the clock. It was going to be a long wait. I decided to make the best of the situation and get some exercise. I walked home, the cold winter air filling my lungs as I enjoyed the quiet streets. Hours later, I returned to the tire shop. The mechanic confirmed my fears: It was indeed a faulty tire sensor. The repair took longer than expected, but the staff worked diligently, their professionalism evident in every move. When the job was finally done, I felt a wave of gratitude. These mechanics had been incredibly accommodating; even without an appointment. I decided to show my appreciation. On my way back, I stopped at a nearby store. I purchased two large bags of chocolates, my go-to thank-you gift. One bag was for the tire shop staff. They deserved it. The other bag was for the library staff, my next destination. I’m a regular at the library, always knowing exactly which books I want to read. I rarely look through the shelves; instead, I reserve my books online and wait for the notification. When I pick them up, I always thank the staff, but sometimes, a simple “thank you” isn’t enough. A chocolate treat, on the other hand, always brings a smile to their faces. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I entered the library, the familiar smell of old books and fresh coffee greeted me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day had started with a problem, but it had ended in a pleasant way. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 As I entered the library, the familiar smell of old books and fresh coffee greeted me. Mrs. Thompson, the head librarian, was organizing returned books behind the counter. Her eyes lit up when she noticed the chocolate bag in my hand. “For all your hard work,” I said, handing her the gift. She called over two junior staff members, their faces breaking into surprised smiles. One young intern shyly admitted she hadn’t eaten lunch yet. Watching them share the chocolates while discussing their favorite reads, I realized how these small gestures could brighten someone’s day. The day had started with a problem, but it had ended in a pleasant way. Driving home with my books and repaired car, I realized how small gestures could brighten everyone’s day. The mechanics’ tireless work and librarians’ thoughtful recommendation created ripples of kindness. That evening, I savored the mystery novel with a piece of chocolate, feeling warmth despite the freezing weather. The poetry book lay on my table, its unplanned presence reminding me that sometimes stepping out of routine brings unexpected joy. I fell asleep thinking how gratitude transforms ordinary days into something memorable. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者某天开车回家路上车坏了，维修时间比预期的要长，但是工人都十分尽职尽责，于是作者在附近的一家商店停了下来买了两大袋巧克力，作为答谢礼物。一袋给工人，一袋给图书馆工作人员，因为作者是图书馆常客。最后作者送出了巧克力，得到了对方的感谢，作者也感到快乐。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我走进图书馆时，熟悉的旧书和新鲜咖啡的味道映入我的眼帘”可知，第一段可描写作者送出巧克力的经过以及员工收到巧克力的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“这一天以一个问题开始，但以一个愉快的方式结束”可知，第二段可描写作者经历后的感悟。 2.续写线索：走进图书馆——送出巧克力——得到感谢——回家——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/take notice of ②点亮：brighten/light up ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①难忘：memorable/unforgettable ②快乐：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her eyes lit up when she noticed the chocolate bag in my hand.

B Zhang Yupeng, a 23-year-old from Hebei province, made history by winning China’s first gold medal in jewelry-making at the 47th WorldSkills Competition in Lyon. His victory resulted from years of dedicated practice. “Mental strength is everything,” Zhang emphasized, explaining how countless hours of training developed his muscle memory. During the intense four-day competition, he overcame challenges through steady focus, particularly when crafting a complex bird-shaped hairpin that nearly defeated him. The competition exposed Zhang to global craftsmanship styles. He noticed Chinese participants emphasized artistic design, while Japanese and Korean competitors focused on precision. Initially intimidated, Zhang gained confidence through this international exchange. His success stems from vocational education at Beijing Arts & Crafts Technician College, where he spent five years refining his skills. He believes vocational training helps students discover unique talents beyond traditional academic paths. Now a teacher, Zhang adopts personalized teaching methods. He identifies students’ strengths in design or craftsmanship and tailors instruction accordingly. His “learning by doing” approach prepares students for diverse careers in jewelry design, appraisal, or even social media influencing. He stresses combining technical skills with creative thinking to produce valuable works. Zhang represents a new wave of craftsmen blending tradition with innovation. As an apprentice in filigree inlay — a national intangible cultural heritage — he merges ancient techniques like metal threading with modern jewelry structures. While traditional designs often use gemstones for luxury, Zhang creates fresh interpretations by incorporating delicate filigree patterns into nature-inspired pieces. Currently reflecting on his five-year journey, Zhang believes his true masterpiece is yet to come. “Innovation requires systematic reflection,” he says, demonstrating how modern craftsmen honor tradition while pushing creative boundaries. 4. What was the key factor in Zhang’s success in the competition? A. Years of practice. B. Mental strength. C. Muscle memory. D. Natural talent. 5. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Amazed. B. Confused. C. Familiar. D. Frightened. 6. What can best describe Zhang? A. Persistent and disciplined. B. Knowledgeable and creative. C. Innovative and heritage-conscious. D. Open-minded and humble. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. A New Generation of Craftsmen B. A Platform for Young Talents C. The Key to Craftsmanship Success D. A Heritage Revived by Young Artists C If you find yourself embracing the thrilling chaos of completing tasks at the last minute, congratulations — You are not alone! According to a survey, 20% of U.S. adults procrastinate (拖延) at home, at work, in relationships, and more. Another survey found that 88% of people procrastinate at least one hour a day. Sounds alarming? As it turns out, if you’re feeling stressed, you may be more likely to procrastinate. Essentially, our brains are structured to approach tasks we find enjoyable and avoid those we are afraid of. Our limbic brain (边缘大脑), the emotional part of our brain, is screaming, “Let’s do anything but that stressful thing!” while our prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) is the CEO of our brain, setting the goals, making a plan, and ensuring we stay on track. CEO vs. Drama Queen Brain — who will win? Actually, there do exist chances when our limbic brain overrides that prefrontal cortex message. Then there’s the burst of energy we often get when we’re up against a deadline, which leads to a reward pathway within our brains and sets the foundation for procrastination as a habit. When you race to the end and get to the goal finally, your previous stress is gone and you almost get in that pattern of “See, I work better under pressure!” So, how to beat procrastination? Well, you need to retrain your brain to cope with the stress. One trick is to take periodic breaks (reward) to refocus your attention on the task. Ever heard of the Promodoro Technique? It’s about working for 25 minutes and resting for 5. During those breaks, forget about brain-burning activities — try relaxing techniques such as meditation or yoga instead. Another trick is to “eat the frog” first thing in the morning, or tackle the most difficult and stressful task of the day, as was once said by Mark Twain. 8. Why are the two surveys mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To warn the readers. B. To introduce a concept. C. To present a phenomenon. D. To make a comparison. 9. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with? A. We are born to prefer what we like and avoid what we fear. B. The limbic brain is under the control of the prefrontal cortex. C. We are more likely to burst when getting close to the deadline. D. Failing to complete a task can lead to habitual procrastination. 10. What does the author suggest readers do to stop procrastination? A. Force the brain to focus. B. Take a break regularly. C. Solve a tricky math problem. D. Eat something refreshing first. 11. What is the tone of this text? A. Humorous. B. Ironic. C. Serious. D. Unclear. D According to legend, the first-ever marathon was so exhausting that the Greek messenger, who dashed 40km from the battlefield to Athens, collapsed and died. Over the past 2,500 years, humans have become better at running. Eight of the ten fastest times in female marathon have been recorded since 2022. This can to a large extent be explained by the development of a new generation of hyper-bouncy running shoes — “super-shoes” — that offer athletes greater assistance. Such has been the improvement that some have questioned whether the technology is now too dominant. No doubt that athletes are breaking records because of their footwear. Both Nike and Adidas have persuaded World Athletics to permit shoes with chunky, foam soles (鞋底), which act as springs. When their feet compress the super-shoes into the ground, the runners receive more energy as they push off again. In 2017 Nike announced the new technology allowed athletes to use 4% less energy than they would if wearing a regular shoe. Those who would like the shoes banned worry that the balance between the runners’ ability and footwear has become twisted. Plainly, though, this is a long way from shoes that matter more than runners. A club runner may set a personal best in a pair of Nike Alphaflys, but she is not going to outrun Ms. Assefa(world champion) wearing regular shoes. World Athletics insists such super-shoes should be available to all athletes in order to be legal, so there is no risk of results being determined by a lack of access to the best equipment. Part of the appeal of sports is that they show humans on an upward trajectory (轨迹), becoming stronger, faster and fitter. Technology has always contributed to this. But as the sports industry has more investment, the motivations to find an edge in performance have grown, whether in kit, diet or game strategy. Surely, advances have to be controlled. But banning super-shoes would be opposing progress and difficult to enforce. This is a genie (精灵) that cannot be returned to its shoebox. 12. What has improved female marathon records since 2022? A. The changes of rules. B. The advance in sports kit. C. The assistance of coaches. D. The development of humans. 13. What is centered on about super-shoes in paragraph 2? A. The principle. B. The history. C. The challenge. D. The drawback. 14. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. Ms. Assefa runs slowly in regular shoes. B. Using super-shoes is regarded as dishonest. C. Nike Alphaflys better athletes’ performance. D. Access to super shoes determines athletes’ success. 15. What does the last paragraph imply? A. Athletics should not embrace super-shoes. B. There is nothing to fear about technological advances. C. Not all investments have led to advances in technology. D. It is impossible for sports industry to control super-shoes. 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。 Simple Steps to Help You Cope With Anxiety Anxiety involves feelings of worry, fear, and depress.

My heart sank. It usually means one of two things: low tire pressure or tire sensor failure. The temperature outside dropped below freezing, and the icy wind blew through my coat as I pulled into the driveway. I hoped it was just a tire pressure problem that could be easily solved with a quick pump. But deep down, I knew it could be more complicated. The next morning, I drove to the tire shop as soon as it opened. The mechanic on duty greeted me with a friendly smile but informed me that they were fully booked with appointments. My car was pushed to the bottom of the list. I glanced at the clock. It was going to be a long wait. I decided to make the best of the situation and get some exercise. I walked home, the cold winter air filling my lungs as I enjoyed the quiet streets. Hours later, I returned to the tire shop. The mechanic confirmed my fears: It was indeed a faulty tire sensor. The repair took longer than expected, but the staff worked diligently, their professionalism evident in every move. When the job was finally done, I felt a wave of gratitude. These mechanics had been incredibly accommodating; even without an appointment. I decided to show my appreciation. On my way back, I stopped at a nearby store. I purchased two large bags of chocolates, my go-to thank-you gift. One bag was for the tire shop staff. They deserved it. The other bag was for the library staff, my next destination. I’m a regular at the library, always knowing exactly which books I want to read. I rarely look through the shelves; instead, I reserve my books online and wait for the notification. When I pick them up, I always thank the staff, but sometimes, a simple “thank you” isn’t enough. A chocolate treat, on the other hand, always brings a smile to their faces. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右;2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As I entered the library, the familiar smell of old books and fresh coffee greeted me. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day had started with a problem, but it had ended in a pleasant way. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
