I want to be successful. That person is successful, so that person can teach me how to be successful. This theory helps explain the springing up of podcasts, books and speeches devoted to the secrets of high performance. It is one reason why executive-leadership courses draw on case studies from well beyond business: politics, the army and even the Roman Empire. And it has been much apparent before and during the Olympics, which ended in Paris on August 11th.
Executives (主管) attend events in which Olympians describe what makes them successful. What can CEOs learn from the world’s best athletes? Actually, there are threads that connect sporting success and business success. Getting to the games requires 100% commitment and hard work. Sporting excellence rests on the efforts of multiple people, not just a single individual. The people on the platform in Paris are competitive and resilient (适应力强的). It is true that all these things are helpful in the workplace.
If some of the similarities between sports and the workplace are cliché (老生常谈), many of the differences are too big to be helpful. Sporting events have clear standards for winning or losing; most jobs lack this. A four-year Olympic cycle building to a match that may last only seconds has few similar examples in business.
The athletes who win medals at the games are blessed not just with determination but also natural gifts. The job of managers is partly to discover such superstars, but their real task is getting the best out of a workforce whose talents will vary and whose jobs will not depend as heavily on genetics. “As soon as I saw that kid log on, I knew he was special.” are words you do not often hear.
Whether similarities or differences, these are not really why people listen to the podcasts or turn up at the events. They want a simple recipe for success. And they want to hear what it is like to run faster or jump higher than anyone else. They want to hear stories that can have no practical value back in the office. If they can pretend it’s good for their career, so much the better.
( )1.Why does the author mention the theory in Paragraph 1?
A.To prove a point.
B.To lead in the topic.
C.To present a fact.
D.To explain a concept.
( )2.Why do CEOs turn to Olympians?
A.To seek business partners.
B.To get the secrets of success.
C.To prove the truth of a theory.
D.To expand their social circle.
( )3.What is the author’s attitude to learning from Olympians?
A.Unclear. B.Favourable.
C.Doubtful. D.Unconcerned.
( )4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.What can Olympians teach CEOs?
B.How do CEOs differ from Olympians?
C.What is the recipe for business success?
D.Why are Olympians more successful than CEOs?
●Ⅵ 阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Artificial intelligence (AI) geolocation (人工智能地理定位技术) solutions are changing the way researchers track and monitor wildlife, enabling more powerful conservation efforts. These systems use advanced sensors, satellite imagery, and machine learning algorithms (算法) to gather real-time data on animal movements, habitat preferences, and migration patterns. 1.
Traditional tracking methods often rely on non-automatic tracking or inconvenient necklace-like systems, which may cause stress and discomfort to the animals. 2. The devices can work as tags and the camera traps can be set up remotely, which decreases human impact on wildlife.
In addition, AI-powered devices collect and analyse data precisely. Through their assistance, scientists can gain insights into habitat choices and evaluate the effect of global warming on wild animal locations. 3. For example, by analysing the collected data, conservationists can promote targeted habitat restoration efforts according to the patterns and connections they discovered with the help of AI geolocation devices.
4. By monitoring animals’ behavioural changes in real time, researchers can quickly detect signs of environmental issues. Sudden changes in an animal’s movements could indicate threats or problems. Researchers can then respond immediately, potentially saving the animal’s life.
Sharing geolocation data through online platforms can also help raise awareness of protecting endangered species. 5. This helps them feel more connected to the issues wildlife faces in habitats. The bond promotes a sense of responsibility among individuals and encourages them to contribute to wildlife conservation efforts through various means, such as donations, volunteer work, and so on.
A.This knowledge enables them to make accurate and efficient decisions.
B.However, AI tracking does not require disturbing contact with the animals.
C.AI monitoring needs fewer battery replacements than the traditional methods.
D.The solutions have offered the following key benefits to wildlife conservation.
E.Directly engaging with conservation efforts gives people a first-hand experience.
F.The AI geolocation technology significantly reduces the need for massive fieldwork.
G.With real-time data, the AI solutions also function as an early warning for wildlife risks.

●Ⅸ 读后续写(25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was nominated (提名) for our school’s debate team. I jumped at the chance. When I got home that day, I began to fill out the application form, trying hard to prove how I met all the team’s criteria: strong communication skills, teamwork, and a good understanding of current events.
The next day, I handed in my application and waited with eagerness. I was on tenterhooks (如坐针毡), anticipation building up with each tick of the clock.
Two weeks went by, and I received a letter from the school about the debate team, which began with “I’m sorry to…”. As soon as the school bus let me off that afternoon, I raced into the house. My mother was typing at the computer.
“Mum,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper, “I didn’t make the debate team.”
She looked up, a smile playing on her lips, thinking I was joking, and playfully reached out to high-five me. But the tears in my eyes told a different story.
“No, really, I wasn’t picked,” I told her, handing her the letter.
Her smile faded, replaced by a look of genuine concern. “Oh, sweetheart, I’m sorry,” she said, surprised. “There must be some mistake.” She called the debate team advisor, but he confirmed there were no mistakes and the decision was final. Hearing that, I broke down and burst out crying.
The rejection stung (刺痛) me, especially when I saw friends celebrating their acceptance. I felt cheated, questioning the fairness of the process. In my view, some selected didn’t deserve it as much as I did. Bitterness crept (潜入) into my words as I complained.
“I’m the best fit for the team,” I protested.
“See, Jenny, complaining won’t get you on the team.” Mum gave me a serious look.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
I stared at Mum and listened eagerly.
Paragraph 2:
I did make it when a second chance came three months later.

This theory helps explain the springing up of podcasts, books and speeches devoted to the secrets of high performance. It is one reason why executive-leadership courses draw on case studies from well beyond business: politics, the army and even the Roman Empire. And it has been much apparent before and during the Olympics, which ended in Paris on August 11th.”(我想成功。那个人是成功的,这样那个人就可以教我如何成功。这一理论有助于解释播客、书籍和演讲的兴起,它们致力于高绩效的秘密。这就是高管领导力课程借鉴了商业以外——政治、军队甚至罗马帝国的案例研究的一个原因。在8月11日于巴黎结束的奥运会之前和期间,这一点非常明显。)以及下文可知,文章第一段提到理论是为了引出话题,即运用奥运赛场上获奖运动员的案例是否可以帮助我们成功。故选B。

4.A 主旨大意题。由文章第二段“Executives (主管) attend events in which Olympians describe what makes them successful. What can CEOs learn from the world’s best athletes?

4.G 根据下文“By monitoring animals’ behavioural changes in real time,researchers can quickly detect signs of environmental issues. Sudden changes in an animal’s movements could indicate threats or problems. Researchers can then respond immediately, potentially saving the animal’s life.”可知,人工智能地理定位技术解决方案可以实时监测动物的行为变化,对野生动物面临的风险起到预警作用,G选项(通过实时数据,人工智能解决方案还可以起到对野生动物风险的早期预警作用。)符合语境。故选G。

Getting to know our school’s pioneers
Last weekend, I took part in the “Getting to know our school’s pioneers” event organised by the Student Union. The inspiring activity benefited us a lot from our outstanding peers.
The process started with an opening ceremony where the Student Union president introduced our schools’ pioneers. Afterward, we were divided into smaller groups to interact with the chosen pioneers. Each individual shared their unique journey, discussing the obstacles they encountered and how they overcame them. Finally, we took photos to mark this unforgettable occasion.
In conclusion, not only did this experience provide us with valuable insights and motivation, but it reminded us that we can succeed through our perseverance and hard work.
Ⅸ.【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开。短文讲述作者最初因为落选辩论队受到了打击,但在母亲的鼓励下,她选择把这次挫折当作提升自我的机会,通过参加辩论研讨和自我练习来改进自己的技能。最终,机会再次来临,她用准备和信心证明了自己,最终成功加入辩论队。
【详解】
1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我盯着妈妈,急切地听着。”可知,第一段可描写母亲分享了自己失败的经历和她如何将它们转化为成长的机会,以及作者努力的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“三个月后第二次机会来临时,我成功了。”可知,第二段可描写机会再次来临时,作者基于之前的准备,成功加入了辩论队以及感悟。
2. 续写线索:母亲分享自己的经历—作者的努力—加入辩论队—作者感悟。
One possible version:
I stared at Mum and listened eagerly. She shared her own stories of failure and disappointment and how she turned them into opportunities for growth (宾语从句). “Every rejection is a lesson,” she said. With her guidance, it took me the next three months to improve my skills (it作形式主语). I practised debates, read extensively to stay updated on current events, and sought feedback from teachers and peers. I even started a debate club after school to gain more experience (不定式作目的状语).
I did make (强调谓语动词) it when a second chance came three months later. When the team needed an extra member for an upcoming tournament (时间状语从句), they considered my dedication and improvement. This time, I was ready, whose performance in the tryouts was confident and well-prepared (定语从句). Joining the team was a sweet victory, but the real win was in the perseverance I had built and the lessons I had learned along the way. My mother’s wisdom had led me through a tough time, and I was grateful for the journey that had made me a better debater and a stronger person (定语从句).
