While the race itself is reserved for professional teams, amateur (业余的) cyclists have the opportunity to experience the thrill of the Tour through L’Étape du Tour-an annual event that allows participants to ride a full stage of the Tour de France on the same route as the professionals. Here provides key information on the race stages and offers practical tips for amateur participants. Stage Type Typical Distance Terrain (地势) Key Challenge Flat Stages 150 — 200km Flat Fast short-distance dashes Mountain Stages 130 — 200km Steep climbs High altitude, sharp increase Time Trials (计时赛) 20 — 50km Flat/hilly (Only for professionals) Solo effort against the clock Medium Mountain Stages 150 — 200km Rolling hills Breakaway opportunities Racer Tips ● Register early, as spots for L’Étape du Tour sell out quickly. ● Train specifically for the selected stage — focus on climbing endurance if the stage includes mountain passes, or speed work for flatter routes. ● Pay close attention to choosing the suitable stage. Climbs in the Alps demand proper pacing to avoid early exhaustion. ● Bring adequate nutrition and water. Mountain stages may have long gaps between aid stations. 21. Which stage best suits an amateur wanting to have some average hill experience? A. Flat Stages. B. Mountain Stages. C Time Trials. D. Medium Mountain Stages. 22 What are participants suggested doing before the race? A. Applying for free entry. B. Taking an overall check. C. Preparing enough supplies. D. Researching the route carefully. 23. What is the text probably from? A. Participation guide. B. Sports report. C. Course plan. D. Travel diary. B It’s eight o’clock on Christmas morning. Dad says he wants to listen to the news. My 11-year-old self can’t understand why grown-ups would care about news when there are presents to open. Then, while I’m half-listening, something unusual happens: the newsreader begins talking about a Christmas message we’ve already heard. My older brother, Colin, figures it out. “Pete, it’s a tape recorder! We’ve got our tape recorder!” It finally dawns on me: my dad recorded the news and is playing it back. I think it’s rare to experience real excitement over a present, but for me this was one of those moments. Colin and I were both blind from birth. At our boarding school, a recorder of your own was the height of joy. But Colin — more realistic about family finances — had no real expectations of getting one. I later realized a tape recorder cost more than four times dad’s weekly wage. The new toy, the size of a small suitcase, took up the rest of the holidays. Once we mastered the controls, we recorded everything. For the first time — like sighted children seeing themselves in a mirror — we got the sense of ourselves as those who existed outside our own head. It was both exciting and embarrassing. When I returned to school, I walked around with my microphone, recording my thoughts like the voices on the radio. Ten years later, I walked into a radio station, hoping to become a broadcast journalist. Twenty-five years later, I presented my first report for BBC TV’s Six O’ Clock News — a programme my dad never missed. Though he’d been dead for over a decade, I like to think he knew his Christmas present changed my life. 24. Why did dad want to listen to the news on Christmas morning? A. He expected to give the boys a surprise. B. He wanted to hand out his presents later. C. He had always enjoyed listening to the news. D. He missed the Christmas news the day before. 25. What does the underlined “real excitement over a present” in paragraph 4 reflect? A. His pride in his father’s creativity. B. His surprise at new technology. C. His curiosity about the unexpected gift. D. His gratitude for a truly special gift. 26. What did the recorder enable the boys to do when they started to use it? A. Hear each other more clearly. B. Pursue a career in broadcasting. C. Discover more about themselves. D. Make their own radio programmes. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. My Journey to a Journalist B. A Gift That Changed My Life C. My Father’s Forever Love D. A Special Christmas Morning C With a love and fascination for traditional culture, many young Chinese have begun to use their creativity to innovate (创新) using elements from China’s intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Papercutting, the traditional Chinese art of paper design, has been adopted in many creative arts, including food and clothing. On the Chinese lifestyle-focused social media platform Xiaohongshu, a video of cookies featuring a paper-cut styled dragon pattern received over 2.6 million views and 130,000 likes. Liu Shan, a stay-at-home mother who loves Chinese papercutting, is the baker behind the cookies. Liu started designing her dragon pattern last November and spent five days making the cookies before the Spring Festival. She said she would complete all the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac (生肖) since they are so well-received. Young craftswoman Chen Lingling created a cloak (斗篷) featuring Chinese paper-cut patterns. As an intangible cultural heritage enthusiast, Chen has made a variety of different clothing and headwear, with the aim of making cultural heritage part of young people’s daily lives. She chose auspicious patterns like phoenix and golden fish to deliver her Spring Festival greetings. People believe these patterns will bring good luck. Her video featuring the cloak has received around 750,000 views and earned her fans from both China and abroad, encouraging her to continue her interest in intangible cultural heritage. According to the latest report published by Xiaohongshu, users of the platform uploaded nearly one million posts with the topic “recreation” between February 9, the Chinese New Year’s Eve, and February 16. Analysts say these recreations show young people’s creativity and enthusiasm for life, and the innovations that use elements of intangible cultural heritage reflect their growing cultural confidence. 27. What can we learn about Liu Shan from the passage? A. She got inspiration from her friends. B. She began her innovating practices to achieve fame. C. She has been motivated to continue her creation. D. She has completed all the Chinese zodiac cookies. 29. What does the underlined word “auspicious” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Lucky B. Unusual. C. Simple. D. Complex. 30. What can we infer from the latest report published by Xiaohongshu? A. Users of Xiaohongshu prefer uploading posts. B. Xiaohongshu enjoys great popularity home and abroad. C. Young Chinese are showing their creativity on social platforms. D. Young Chinese are increasingly confident about their own culture. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Social media promotes traditions. B. Traditional Crafts need modern updates. C. Zodiac patterns are becoming fashionable. D. Youth innovate heritage with cultural confidence. D Parents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with doubt, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something silly or even dangerous. Their worries make sense. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult. In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two parts related to rewards (奖赏) when they were being watched by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain start working whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which makes them feel good. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which makes them want to seek higher-risk experiences. But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers influence the way young people gather and apply information. It included 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them to win. The results showed that teens playing with their peers do more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone. Now some experts are suggesting that we should take advantage of the teens’ strong sensitivity (敏感性) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational setting is a very important skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London. 32. What does the author want to say by mentioning Steinberg’s study? A. Parents’ worries are reasonable. B. Teens drive more carelessly with peers. C. Adults are better drivers than teens. D. Peer pressure only brings harm. 33. What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior? A. Inability to tell right from wrong. B. A sense of satisfaction. C. Eagerness to follow their friends. D. Lack of social experience. 34. How does risk-taking influence teens in the latest study? A. It starts fights between them. B. It inspires them to question. C. It weakens their independence. D. It helps them to learn better. 35. What does Blakemore think of peer learning? A. Helpful. B. Unnecessary. C. Risky. D. Challenging. 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。 Guiding Children in Choosing After-school Activities Many children today face stress from school, friends, or competition. Nina Kaiser, a licensed psychologist based in San Francisco, reminds parents that after-school activities should not add more pressure. 36 . Kaiser points out, “Younger kids often try many activities because they are still finding out what they like — and that is normal.” So how can parents help their children choose the right activities? To begin with, parents should allow children to join in the decision-making. 37 . When they feel that their voices are heard, they often show more energy and excitement toward the activity Next, it is necessary to value each child’s personal interests. Every child has different hobbies and talents (天资). If parents force them to do something they dislike, children may feel stressed or upset. 38 . This will make learning easier and more enjoyable. 39 . Sometimes children may want to give up on an activity. Parents do not need to decide right away. Instead, they should talk with the child, wait patiently, and think of possible changes. Through discussion, both sides can find a solution together. Lastly, parents should avoid putting too much pressure. Not every child will find his or her passion (爱好) right away. It is normal for children to face difficulties at the beginning, especially when they are still learning. 40 A. What matters is to study something useful B. Parents shouldn’t allow them to drop the activity C. Another key point is to keep open communication D. Instead, they should give children the chance to learn and grow E. With patience and support, they will finally find what they love F. Even younger kids can share their thoughts about what they enjoy G. A better way is to choose an activity that fits their ability and interest 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入空白处的最佳选项。 Exercise and I have never had a good relationship due to my fear of sports.

Tucker sat absent-mindedly in one of the library chairs. Most of the students wanted to hear about the writer’s work. Tucker did not. “Why bother?” Tucker thought to himself. He always received low marks on his writing assignments, no matter how hard he worked on them. He could never think of anything interesting to write about. “Does anyone have any questions?” Mrs Flippen asked her class. Tucker raised his hand, “How do you know what to write about?” “Well, sometimes I don’t,” the author replied. “It takes a lot of hard work to come up with ideas.” She reached down and pulled a worn-looking book from a cloth bag on the floor. “I find making a scrapbook (剪贴簿) helps.” Tucker sat up a little straighter in his seat. “What’s in the book?” he asked. “I fill it with pictures, stories, and notes about things that interest me.” The writer opened the scrapbook on her knee. “When I need an idea, I look through the book instead of staring at a blank page.” Tucker thought about the author’s scrapbook as he walked home. He thought about staring at a blank page each time he tried to write a story. Digging in his bookcase, Tucker found an old binder (活页夹). He filled the binder with notepaper from his desk. After supper, Tucker cut some pictures out of the newspaper. Then he drew some pictures of his own. He cut and pasted (粘贴) stories from his old magazines. Then he looked up the words he did not know and wrote down their meanings. In the days and weeks that followed, Tucker collected more ideas. He found that the more he collected, the easier it became to find things to collect. Tucker’s book of ideas grew fatter and fatter. One morning, Mrs Flippen told the class about a story writing competition. Excitement filled the classroom as most students whispered about it. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Tucker sat there, struggling with doubt. ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then came the day when Mrs Flippen announced the result. ________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
