At that time, I was an excellent 400-meter runner at high school, but got it into my head that I should try the longer distance to prove that I was really good at running — and what was better than the marathon? Back then, the running craze hadn’t quite heated up to the point it has today and running a marathon was unknown to most people. Besides, I never knew anyone who had actually run a marathon. On the way from England to Dublin, I was wondering what I was getting myself in two days later when the race would begin. I tried to get some sleep to ease my nerves, but I found it hard. The race day was somewhat cloudy, but the warmth of the people forced the clouds away. My limited memories of that first race remain: the feeling of running through a tunnel (隧道) of people as the crowds lined the streets; the cheers from the crowds as the news came that an Irishman had won the race; what’s the most impressive, the kindness of the crowds encouraging me on as I hit the wall and tried to struggle through. Eventually, I didn’t get the prize, but I never gave up and regarded it as a success because I challenged myself. After my first marathon, I started a website based on my love of running. Whether you’re an experienced marathoner or just an interested passer-by, I invite you to get involved in the website and make it your home. Runners and particularly marathoners seem to share common ideals. They’re part of a global team and a global community. 24．(2.5分)Why did the author take part in his first marathon? A．To show his talent for running. B．To win a prize in. a longer distance race. C．To attract the public's attention to running.

D．It was set up mainly for experienced marathoners. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Kind and creative. B．Capable and positive. C．Proud and ordinary. D．Confused and sensitive. 【答案】24．A 25．D 26．C 27．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者18岁时参加第一次马拉松的经历。虽然目的是证明自己长跑能力，但最难忘的是比赛中受到观众的鼓励，这激发了他挑战自我的精神。之后，作者创建了一个跑步网站，旨在连接全球跑者，分享共同的理想和社区精神。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“At that time, I was an excellent 400-meter runner at high school, but got it into my head that I should try the longer distance to prove that I was really good at running — and what was better than the marathon? (当时，我在高中是一名优秀的400米跑步运动员，但我脑子里想着我应该尝试更长的距离来证明我真的很擅长跑步——还有什么比马拉松更好的呢？)”可知，作者参加第一次马拉松是为了展示自己跑步的天赋，证明自己擅长跑步。故选A。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“what’s the most impressive, the kindness of the crowds encouraging me on as I hit the wall and tried to struggle through.

So people tend to be surprised when they see someone running up them. I know this because I’m a Stairs Guy now. Still, I’m not alone. Stair running is a pastime on the rise, at least if you look at the amount of events on it. The first ever full-scale tower race, reportedly, took place at the Eiffel Tower in 1905, with about 300 runners climbing a mere two levels (729 steps) of the monument. More events followed, but it took a while before the sport spread to the UK in 1968, and the US in 1978. Today, hundreds of events across dozens of countries allow the light-limbed and big-bodied to race each other up some of the world’s most recognizable skyscrapers (摩天大楼). “My first love is running, and I miss long-distance running races terribly, but my body can’t afford it any more after many years — so stair climbing works very well for me. There’s much less harm, but it’s still extremely challenging,” says Suzy Walsham, who competed in lots of marathons before making the move to stair running. “It’s also a very individual sport and probably two-thirds of the races are time trials — so you are racing against the building and the clock,” she explains. And, of course, it’s fast. The best runners can climb the 1,576 steps of the Empire State Building Run-Up in less than 10 minutes. Marathon runners often struggle as stair races require lactic acid tolerance and a degree of anaerobic (无氧的) fitness (which works when you’re moving too fast to use oxygen for fuel) as well as the aerobic kind used for longer efforts. “I’ve been faster on the stairs than people who were 10 minutes faster than me over a half marathon,” says Walsham. 28．(2.5分)What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．The benefits of stair running. B．The matches of stair running. C．The tallest buildings in the world. D．The development of stair running. 29．(2.5分)Why did Walsham move to stair running? A．Its cost is not high. B．It’s not very challenging. C．It’s suitable for her body. D．Its popularity has grown. 30．(2.5分)Why is the Empire State Building Run-Up mentioned? A．To stress the speed of stair running. B．To praise those runners. C．To introduce this match. D．To show the difficulty of stair running. 31．(2.5分)What can be learned from the last paragraph? A．Walsham needs more aerobic exercise. B．Walsham usually runs fast in marathons. C．Marathon runners often join stair races. D．Marathon differs much from stair races. 【答案】28．D 29．C 30．A 31．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了爬楼梯运动的发展历程、运动员选择该运动的原因、运动特点以及与马拉松运动的区别。 【详解】28．主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Still, I’m not alone. Stair running is a pastime on the rise, at least if you look at the amount of events on it. The first ever full-scale tower race, reportedly, took place at the Eiffel Tower in 1905, with about 300 runners climbing a mere two levels (729 steps) of the monument. More events followed, but it took a while before the sport spread to the UK in 1968, and the US in 1978. Today, hundreds of events across dozens of countries allow the light-limbed and big-bodied to race each other up some of the world’s most recognizable skyscrapers.(不过，我并非个例。爬楼梯运动正成为一项日渐流行的消遣方式，至少从相关赛事的数量来看是这样。据报道，史上首场大规模登塔比赛于 1905 年在埃菲尔铁塔举办，约 300 名参赛者仅攀爬了这座建筑的两层（729 级台阶）。此后，更多赛事陆续涌现，但这项运动过了许久才于 1968 年传入英国，1978 年传入美国。如今，数十个国家举办着数百场赛事，无论身形矫健还是体格健壮的人，都能在世界上一些最知名的摩天大楼中相互角逐、向上攀登)”可知，该段主要讲述爬楼梯运动的发展过程。故选D项。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“but my body can’t afford it any more after many years—so stair climbing works very well for me. There’s much less harm(但是，多年后我的身体已经承受不住马拉松了——所以爬楼梯对我来说非常合适，伤害小得多）可知，沃尔沙姆转向爬楼梯运动是因为它适合自己的身体状况。故选C项。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“And, of course, it’s fast. The best runners can climb the 1,576 steps of the Empire State Building Run-Up in less than 10 minutes (当然，它速度很快。最优秀的选手能在不到10分钟内爬上帝国大厦登楼赛的1576级台阶)”可知，提及帝国大厦登楼赛是为了强调爬楼梯运动的速度之快。故选A项。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Marathon runners often struggle as stair races require lactic acid tolerance and a degree of anaerobic fitness (which works when you’re moving too fast to use oxygen for fuel) as well as the aerobic kind used for longer efforts.(马拉松选手在爬楼梯比赛中往往会感到吃力，因为这类比赛既需要选手具备乳酸耐受性和一定程度的无氧耐力（指身体运动速度过快、无法利用氧气供能时所依赖的体能），还需要长距离运动所需的有氧耐力)”可知，马拉松与爬楼梯运动所需的体能素质不同，二者差异很大。故选D项。 （本题10分）Have you ever wondered what astronauts eat in space and how those recipes (食谱) are developed? Every year, HUNCH challenges high schools around the world to develop delicious recipes to support astronauts in space. The HUNCH Culinary (烹饪的) Competition provides students the opportunity to create dishes for astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS). Students must create tasty recipes following a specific food processing procedure and meeting certain dietary requirements. Each year, high schools receive a theme (主题), and students develop recipes accordingly. Then, student groups present their works to local space centers for taste tests conducted by industry professionals and center staff. After those early competitions, student teams with the highest scores from across the country are invited to Space Center Houston, which has hosted the event for 11 years. During the finals, all visitors to the center are invited to cheer on student groups. This year’s dish theme was traditional Mexican food: tacos. Ten high school culinary teams were selected to compete in the final round of the competition, which celebrated the mix of science and culinary creativity. Their work was judged by Food Lab staff, industry professionals, the ISS program office, and astronauts based on quality, taste, research paper, and presentation video. Space Center Houston President and CEO William T. Harris said students had to consider “the chemistry behind the dish, food preservation, and dietary needs” when making their dishes. He added that the strict limit on salt intake in space makes it difficult to achieve rich taste, so students must find other ways to season their recipes. Through this program, students build culinary skills while developing experience in research and professional presentations. The winning dish will be processed by the Johnson Space Center Food Lab and sent to the ISS for astronauts to enjoy. 32．(2.5分)What happens to the best-performing students after the early competitions? A．They send recipes to the ISS. B．They receive next year’s theme. C．They compete at the host center. D．They get recipes checked by experts. 33．(2.5分)What can we infer about this year’s competition? A．It valued taste over dietary needs. B．It closed the final round to the public. C．It mixed practical and academic work. D．It required individual work in the finals. 34．(2.5分)What makes it hard to create tasty food in space? A．The limited space for cooking. B．The low amount of salt allowed. C．The difficulty in keeping food fresh. D．The strict food processing procedure. 35．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the text? A．To present challenges in space. B．To promote new food products. C．To announce competition results. D．To introduce a cooking competition. 【答案】32．C 33．C 34．B 35．D 【导语】文章主要介绍了面向全球高中生举办的HUNCH烹饪大赛，该赛事号召高中生开发符合要求的太空食谱，供国际空间站宇航员食用，文章介绍了赛事的举办流程、今年赛事的相关内容以及举办该赛事的意义。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“After those early competitions, student teams with the highest scores from across the country are invited to Space Center Houston, which has hosted the event for 11 years.(在初赛结束后，全国各地得分最高的学生队伍会被邀请至已经主办该赛事11年的休斯顿航天中心。)”可知，表现最好的学生会前往主办中心参加比赛。 33．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“...which celebrated the mix of science and culinary creativity. Their work was judged by Food Lab staff, industry professionals, the ISS program office, and astronauts based on quality, taste, research paper, and presentation video.(……该赛事融合了科学与烹饪创造力。参赛作品会由食品实验室工作人员、行业专家、国际空间站项目办公室和宇航员根据菜品品质、口味、研究论文和展示视频进行评分。)”，结合第五段“Through this program, students build culinary skills while developing experience in research and professional presentations.(通过该项目，学生们在锻炼烹饪技能的同时，也积累了研究和专业展示的经验。)”可知，今年的比赛结合了实践操作与学术工作。 34．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“He added that the strict limit on salt intake in space makes it difficult to achieve rich taste, so students must find other ways to season their recipes.(他补充说，太空中严格的盐摄入限制使得食物很难拥有浓郁的风味，因此学生必须找到其他方法来给食谱调味。)”可知，允许摄入的盐量低导致太空美食难以制作。 35．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕HUNCH烹饪大赛展开，介绍了该赛事的创办目的、举办流程、相关要求等内容，因此本文的主要目的是介绍这项烹饪比赛。 （本题12.5分）The Winter Olympics will introduce several new events, with ski mountaineering making its first appearance as a new sport. Known as “skimo”, it requires athletes to hike up a mountain before skiing down. Three events will be held: a women’s sprint, a men’s sprint, and a mixed relay. The competition will take place in Bormio, Italy, at the same site used for Alpine skiing. Other new events are also being added. These are variations of existing sports and aim to give more athletes, especially women, a chance to compete. One such event is dual moguls (雪上技巧). Two skiers compete side by side on a bumpy course, performing aerial (空中的) tricks. 36(2.5分) Traditional moguls have been part of the Winter Games since the 1990s. 37(2.5分) This event pairs one man and one woman from the same country. They race down an ice track head-first on a small sled. This format adds a new dynamic to the sport. This year also marks the first time women’s doubles luge will appear. 38(2.5分) They race down the track feet-first on the same sled. This event highlights the importance of teamwork. It’s not easy for teams to qualify for the Games. The U.S. team narrowly qualified for the Games in a high-stakes race in Utah in early December. 39(2.5分) The pressure was intense, as it was the last chance for teams to earn Olympic ranking points. These additions show the Winter Olympics’ commitment to evolution and inclusion. 40(2.5分) They also bring fresh excitement to the Games, attracting new audiences and showcasing the athletes’ skills. A．Another new event is mixed team skeleton. B．Two women from the same country team up on a single sled. C．Athletes must navigate sharp turns and maintain high speeds. D．Ski mountaineering requires both endurance and technical skill. E．Both men’s and women’s dual moguls will be featured this year. F．This was the final opportunity for teams to secure their spot in the Olympics. G．They offer a platform for athletes to demonstrate their abilities in new formats. 【答案】36．E 37．A 38．B 39．F 40．G 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了冬奥会新增的多个比赛项目（如滑雪登山、双人雪上技巧、混合团体钢架雪车、女子双人无舵雪橇），讲述了项目特点与队伍的奥运资格获取过程，并说明这些新项目让冬奥会更具创新性、包容性和观赏性。 【详解】36．前文“One such event is dual moguls.

They race down an ice track head-first on a small sled. This format adds a new dynamic to the sport.(这项赛事将来自同一国家的一男一女选手配对在一起。他们头朝前俯卧在一辆小型钢架雪车上，在冰道上疾驰而下。这种形式为这项运动增添了新的活力。)”可知，该段在介绍一项新的比赛项目，且为男女混合项目。选项A“Another new event is mixed team skeleton.(另一项新增项目是混合团体钢架雪车。)”符合项目描述。故选A项。 38．根据前文“This year also marks the first time women’s doubles luge will appear.(今年也是女子双人雪橇项目首次亮相的一年。)”可知，该部分讲述“女子双人雪橇项目”，设空处应讲述其具体规则。选项B“Two women from the same country team up on a single sled.(两名来自同一国家的女子一起坐在一张雪橇上。)”符合对女子双人雪橇的项目的规则描述，与前文衔接自然。故选B项。 39．前文“The U.S. team narrowly qualified for the Games in a high-stakes race in Utah in early December.(美国队在12月初于犹他州举行的一场竞争激烈的比赛中以微弱优势成功获得了参赛资格。)”提及美国队在12月犹他州的关键赛事中惊险晋级，获得冬奥会比赛资格，由此推知，设空处应是需要将12月犹他州的关键赛事与冬奥会关联表述一下，以使读者更加清晰。选项F“This was the final opportunity for teams to secure their spot in the Olympics.(这（赛事）是各队确保获得奥运会参赛资格的最后机会了。)”中“This”指代前文犹他州赛事，解释了其与冬奥会的关系，符合语境。故选F项。 40．前文“These additions show the Winter Olympics’ commitment to evolution and inclusion.(这些新增内容彰显了冬奥会对于不断发展和包容性的追求。)”提出了新增项目体现了冬奥会的发展与包容性，设空处应继续补充新增项目的其他积极意义。选项G“They offer a platform for athletes to demonstrate their abilities in new formats.(它们为运动员提供了一个展示自身能力的新平台，让他们的表现以全新的形式呈现出来。)”为积极意义表述，主语“They”呼应前文主语“These additions”，在句意上承接前文主题，符合逻辑。故选G项。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）Marcus is a handsome and athletic kid.

Unluckily, a car accident in senior one injured his right leg. After treatment, the doctor told him he would spend his rest life in a wheelchair, never able to run. When returning home, Leo stared at his dusty running shoes, lost in thought. It suddenly occurred to him that he could join wheelchair races. Later on, he told the idea to his parents and they expressed their full support. Leo’s father drove him to a training centre. “Show me what you’ve got,” a coach there said. Without a word, Leo grasped the push rims (推轮) and drove forward. The coach watched him circle the track once, twice… When Leo stopped, breathing hard but looking steady, the coach nodded, “Be here at 6 tomorrow morning.” With professional training, his overall ability rose. By senior three, Leo had won several races. But the Boston Marathon was what he had been longing for. When he handed in his application and expressed his dream, race officials encouraged him: “Go for it. If you finish in under three hours without any assistance, you’ll qualify for the certificate (证书).” On race day, according to race rules, wheelchair racers started thirty minutes earlier. Full of confidence, Leo kicked off the race. Around mile 23, a professional runner named Bill began to close the gap. Then, he ran alongside Leo, matching his pace, and nodded. For the next two miles, they stayed together. Gradually, Leo’s arms gave out. His pace slowed. Bill pulled ahead. But Leo did not stop. With less than a mile to go, his body was shutting down. Every push sent fire through his arms. The clock read 2:52 — he had eight minutes left to cover the final mile. It seemed impossible. 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。 All of a sudden, Leo saw Bill coming back. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Amazingly, Leo finished the race on his own at 2:59:51. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】    All of a sudden, Leo saw Bill coming back. “Thought you might need a hand,” Bill smiled, falling into step beside him again. Leo shook his head firmly and said, “I have to finish this by myself.” Bill didn’t push, just slowed his run and called encouragement every time Leo pushed his chair forward. Spectators along the route rose to their feet, cheering so loud that it drowned out the ache in Leo’s arms. He gathered every bit of his strength, forcing shaking muscles to keep turning the wheels, one slow push after another. Amazingly, Leo finished the race on his own at 2:59:51. As he crossed the finish line, the crowd erupted in cheers. The race officials handed him the qualifying certificate, their eyes shining with respect. Bill patted him on the shoulder, grinning, “I knew you deserved it.” Leo held the certificate tightly with happy tears rolling down. Though he could never run with his legs again, he proved that with persistence and courage, nothing can stop a person from chasing his dream. 【导语】本文以人物为线索。原本热爱跑步的Leo因车祸受伤后无法继续跑步，他不甘沉沦，转而决定参加轮椅竞速。在接受专业训练后取得多次比赛胜利。为了完成梦想，他申请参加波士顿马拉松。比赛中他体力透支仍坚持不放弃，最终在观众和对手Bill的鼓励下按时完赛、战胜自我。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句内容可知，本段可以描写Bill返回后陪伴Leo前进，观众也为他加油，Leo咬牙坚持。 ②由续写第二段首句内容可知，本段可以描写Leo成功在既定时间节点完赛，获得官方证书和对手Bill的认可，Leo感悟自己虽然不能跑步，但有了毅力和勇气，没有什么能阻挡自己追梦。 2. 段落续写： Bill返回——陪伴Leo身侧——观众加油——Leo坚持继续前行——成功完赛——观众欢呼庆祝——获得证书——Bill认可——感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①与……步伐一致：fall into step beside…/keep pace with… ②完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①坚定地：firmly/resolutely ②高兴的：happy/glad 【点睛】【高分句型1】Spectators along the route rose to their feet, cheering so loud that it drowned out the ache in Leo’s arms.(使用了现在分词作状语、so…that…引导结果状语从句) 【高分句型2】Though he could never run with his legs again, he proved that with persistence and courage, nothing can stop a person from chasing his dream.

At that time, I was an excellent 400-meter runner at high school, but got it into my head that I should try the longer distance to prove that I was really good at running — and what was better than the marathon? Back then, the running craze hadn’t quite heated up to the point it has today and running a marathon was unknown to most people. Besides, I never knew anyone who had actually run a marathon. On the way from England to Dublin, I was wondering what I was getting myself in two days later when the race would begin. I tried to get some sleep to ease my nerves, but I found it hard. The race day was somewhat cloudy, but the warmth of the people forced the clouds away. My limited memories of that first race remain: the feeling of running through a tunnel (隧道) of people as the crowds lined the streets; the cheers from the crowds as the news came that an Irishman had won the race; what’s the most impressive, the kindness of the crowds encouraging me on as I hit the wall and tried to struggle through. Eventually, I didn’t get the prize, but I never gave up and regarded it as a success because I challenged myself. After my first marathon, I started a website based on my love of running. Whether you’re an experienced marathoner or just an interested passer-by, I invite you to get involved in the website and make it your home. Runners and particularly marathoners seem to share common ideals. They’re part of a global team and a global community. 24．(2.5分)Why did the author take part in his first marathon? A．To show his talent for running. B．To win a prize in. a longer distance race. C．To attract the public's attention to running. D．To express his preference for 400-meter running. 25．(2.5分)What impressed the author deeply during his first marathon? A．He hit the wall and tried to struggle through. B．He ran through a tunnel with other racers. C．He nearly got lost due to the cloudy weather. D．He received lots of encouragement from the crowds. 26．(2.5分)What can we know about the author’s website? A．It aims to help running lovers. B．It has got a lot of attention. C．It attaches great importance to community spirit. D．It was set up mainly for experienced marathoners. 27．(2.5分)Which of the following can best describe the author? A．Kind and creative. B．Capable and positive. C．Proud and ordinary. D．Confused and sensitive. （本题10分）You might not have noticed, but most modern hotels hide their stairways for safety, security or beauty. So people tend to be surprised when they see someone running up them. I know this because I’m a Stairs Guy now. Still, I’m not alone. Stair running is a pastime on the rise, at least if you look at the amount of events on it. The first ever full-scale tower race, reportedly, took place at the Eiffel Tower in 1905, with about 300 runners climbing a mere two levels (729 steps) of the monument. More events followed, but it took a while before the sport spread to the UK in 1968, and the US in 1978. Today, hundreds of events across dozens of countries allow the light-limbed and big-bodied to race each other up some of the world’s most recognizable skyscrapers (摩天大楼). “My first love is running, and I miss long-distance running races terribly, but my body can’t afford it any more after many years — so stair climbing works very well for me. There’s much less harm, but it’s still extremely challenging,” says Suzy Walsham, who competed in lots of marathons before making the move to stair running. “It’s also a very individual sport and probably two-thirds of the races are time trials — so you are racing against the building and the clock,” she explains. And, of course, it’s fast. The best runners can climb the 1,576 steps of the Empire State Building Run-Up in less than 10 minutes. Marathon runners often struggle as stair races require lactic acid tolerance and a degree of anaerobic (无氧的) fitness (which works when you’re moving too fast to use oxygen for fuel) as well as the aerobic kind used for longer efforts. “I’ve been faster on the stairs than people who were 10 minutes faster than me over a half marathon,” says Walsham. 28．(2.5分)What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．The benefits of stair running. B．The matches of stair running. C．The tallest buildings in the world. D．The development of stair running. 29．(2.5分)Why did Walsham move to stair running? A．Its cost is not high. B．It’s not very challenging. C．It’s suitable for her body. D．Its popularity has grown. 30．(2.5分)Why is the Empire State Building Run-Up mentioned? A．To stress the speed of stair running. B．To praise those runners. C．To introduce this match. D．To show the difficulty of stair running. 31．(2.5分)What can be learned from the last paragraph? A．Walsham needs more aerobic exercise. B．Walsham usually runs fast in marathons. C．Marathon runners often join stair races. D．Marathon differs much from stair races. （本题10分）Have you ever wondered what astronauts eat in space and how those recipes (食谱) are developed? Every year, HUNCH challenges high schools around the world to develop delicious recipes to support astronauts in space. The HUNCH Culinary (烹饪的) Competition provides students the opportunity to create dishes for astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS). Students must create tasty recipes following a specific food processing procedure and meeting certain dietary requirements. Each year, high schools receive a theme (主题), and students develop recipes accordingly. Then, student groups present their works to local space centers for taste tests conducted by industry professionals and center staff. After those early competitions, student teams with the highest scores from across the country are invited to Space Center Houston, which has hosted the event for 11 years. During the finals, all visitors to the center are invited to cheer on student groups. This year’s dish theme was traditional Mexican food: tacos. Ten high school culinary teams were selected to compete in the final round of the competition, which celebrated the mix of science and culinary creativity. Their work was judged by Food Lab staff, industry professionals, the ISS program office, and astronauts based on quality, taste, research paper, and presentation video. Space Center Houston President and CEO William T. Harris said students had to consider “the chemistry behind the dish, food preservation, and dietary needs” when making their dishes. He added that the strict limit on salt intake in space makes it difficult to achieve rich taste, so students must find other ways to season their recipes. Through this program, students build culinary skills while developing experience in research and professional presentations. The winning dish will be processed by the Johnson Space Center Food Lab and sent to the ISS for astronauts to enjoy. 32．(2.5分)What happens to the best-performing students after the early competitions? A．They send recipes to the ISS. B．They receive next year’s theme. C．They compete at the host center. D．They get recipes checked by experts. 33．(2.5分)What can we infer about this year’s competition? A．It valued taste over dietary needs. B．It closed the final round to the public. C．It mixed practical and academic work. D．It required individual work in the finals. 34．(2.5分)What makes it hard to create tasty food in space? A．The limited space for cooking. B．The low amount of salt allowed. C．The difficulty in keeping food fresh. D．The strict food processing procedure. 35．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the text? A．To present challenges in space. B．To promote new food products. C．To announce competition results. D．To introduce a cooking competition. （本题12.5分）The Winter Olympics will introduce several new events, with ski mountaineering making its first appearance as a new sport. Known as “skimo”, it requires athletes to hike up a mountain before skiing down. Three events will be held: a women’s sprint, a men’s sprint, and a mixed relay. The competition will take place in Bormio, Italy, at the same site used for Alpine skiing. Other new events are also being added. These are variations of existing sports and aim to give more athletes, especially women, a chance to compete. One such event is dual moguls (雪上技巧). Two skiers compete side by side on a bumpy course, performing aerial (空中的) tricks. 36(2.5分) Traditional moguls have been part of the Winter Games since the 1990s. 37(2.5分) This event pairs one man and one woman from the same country. They race down an ice track head-first on a small sled. This format adds a new dynamic to the sport. This year also marks the first time women’s doubles luge will appear. 38(2.5分) They race down the track feet-first on the same sled. This event highlights the importance of teamwork. It’s not easy for teams to qualify for the Games. The U.S. team narrowly qualified for the Games in a high-stakes race in Utah in early December. 39(2.5分) The pressure was intense, as it was the last chance for teams to earn Olympic ranking points. These additions show the Winter Olympics’ commitment to evolution and inclusion. 40(2.5分) They also bring fresh excitement to the Games, attracting new audiences and showcasing the athletes’ skills. A．Another new event is mixed team skeleton. B．Two women from the same country team up on a single sled. C．Athletes must navigate sharp turns and maintain high speeds.

Unluckily, a car accident in senior one injured his right leg. After treatment, the doctor told him he would spend his rest life in a wheelchair, never able to run. When returning home, Leo stared at his dusty running shoes, lost in thought. It suddenly occurred to him that he could join wheelchair races. Later on, he told the idea to his parents and they expressed their full support. Leo’s father drove him to a training centre. “Show me what you’ve got,” a coach there said. Without a word, Leo grasped the push rims (推轮) and drove forward. The coach watched him circle the track once, twice… When Leo stopped, breathing hard but looking steady, the coach nodded, “Be here at 6 tomorrow morning.” With professional training, his overall ability rose. By senior three, Leo had won several races. But the Boston Marathon was what he had been longing for. When he handed in his application and expressed his dream, race officials encouraged him: “Go for it. If you finish in under three hours without any assistance, you’ll qualify for the certificate (证书).” On race day, according to race rules, wheelchair racers started thirty minutes earlier. Full of confidence, Leo kicked off the race. Around mile 23, a professional runner named Bill began to close the gap. Then, he ran alongside Leo, matching his pace, and nodded. For the next two miles, they stayed together. Gradually, Leo’s arms gave out. His pace slowed. Bill pulled ahead. But Leo did not stop. With less than a mile to go, his body was shutting down. Every push sent fire through his arms. The clock read 2:52 — he had eight minutes left to cover the final mile. It seemed impossible. 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。 All of a sudden, Leo saw Bill coming back. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Amazingly, Leo finished the race on his own at 2:59:51. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
