B During the summer, Hu Miaokun, a 19-year-old diagnosed with congenital (先天的) deafness at the age of two, experienced a life-altering moment: he received acceptance letters from seven universities. This achievement symbolizes more than a decade of unwavering efforts in a world of silence. Hu, born in 2005 in a village in Macheng, Central China’s Hubei province, has faced various obstacles throughout his life — he lost his father at the age of five and moved in with his grandparents after his mother remarried. However, Hu’s passion for learning always ran high. With the encouragement and support of his family, he enrolled in a school specifically designed for hearing-impaired children. “Adapting to life in a group was tough,” Hu signed. “I had to get used to the new environment, follow new rules, and learn how to interact with others. But over time, these challenges became easier to manage.” Hu recalls how his teachers used various tailored techniques and tools to support student learning. These included multimedia lessons, hearing aids, speech recognition devices, and other assistive technologies, all designed to make learning more accessible. After completing middle school, Hu continued his education at a specialized high school in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province. The school offered a broader curriculum, including English. However, for students with hearing and speech impairments, learning a foreign language can be particularly difficult. While many of his peers had some basic knowledge of the language and were exposed to English through songs, movies, and everyday conversations, Hu had no prior exposure, making the task even more daunting. “For me, the key to learning English is through reading, writing, and translation,” Hu signed. He created a detailed study plan and adhered to (坚持) it, learning to prioritize his tasks and manage his time effectively. This year, Hu Miaokun took the national college entrance examination, or gaokao. His hard work paid off. Since May, Hu Miaokun has received acceptance letters from all seven universities to which he applied. Ultimately, Hu Miaokun decided to pursue product design at his dream school, Tianjin University of Technology. With ambitions of becoming a 3D designer specializing in product modeling, he is now focusing on mastering various modeling software, such as 3Ds Max and Adobe Illustrator. “I’m deeply thankful to my aunt and everyone who has supported me,” Hu Miaokun signed. “I will continue to work hard in my studies and, in the future, use my skills to inspire and assist others.” 41. What does the underlined word “unwavering” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Modest.  B. Ambitious. C. Tolerant. D. Determined. 42. What can we infer about Hu’s teachers in the school for hearing-impaired children? A. They preferred to use traditional teaching methods. B. They were not well-equipped to teach students with disabilities. C. They made efforts to use various tools to help students learn. D. They focused more on students’ physical health than studies. 43. By mentioning English, the author intends to _________. A. recommend the key to learning  B. show the barriers Hu encountered C. highlight the importance of English  D. promote daily interactions in English 44. What do we know about Hu Miaokun? A. He refused to follow new rules. B. He failed to adapt to his school life. C. He was junior to his classmates in learning. D. He was into learning despite many difficulties. 45. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. “Deaf” Teenagers in a World of Silence B. “Silent” but Not Silent: Hu Miaokun’s Sad Story C. Hearing-disadvantaged Teen’s Journey to University Success D. A Teenager’s Battle Against Silence: From Struggle to Survival C According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed (安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE) project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators (传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities — and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 46. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 47. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 48. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To conserve pollinators.  B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy.  D. To ensure the supply of energy. 49. How do pollinator-friendly solar farms benefit the environment and the agricultural economy? A. By reducing chemical use and improving soil quality. B. By increasing solar energy production efficiency. C. By providing habitats for pollinators and reducing carbon emissions. D. By promoting the use of small-stones under solar panels. 50. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay  B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture  D. Solar Farms: A New Development D Let’s take a moment to consider the words of one of America’s most remarkable philosophers, Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau spent the years 1845 — 1847 living on the outskirts of society in a small cabin in the woods by the side of Walden Pond. He called this period of his life an experiment of intentional living and wrote this famous paragraph: I went to the woods because I wished to live intentionally, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow (吸取精华) of life. There is great wisdom in Thoreau’s purpose here, and I think it’s very useful to ask ourselves this question: What would our lives be like if we sucked all the marrow out of life? If Thoreau’s quote sounds familiar, it may be from watching the film Dead Poets Society, a movie with deep wisdom. The film is about young men at a boarding school as they prepare to do good in the world because they have the privilege to bring about change. Their English teacher tries to convince them that they should live life well now instead of believing that they will find happiness after they reach certain goals. Part of his argument is conveyed by quoting this famous passage from Thoreau. Sucking the marrow out of life sounds simple enough, but as a matter of fact, it may be the most difficult thing that we can ever do. But it actually is as simple as it sounds — though “simple” is not quite the same thing as “easy”. I can think of one barrier that often keeps us from living our best lives. What keeps us from getting the most out of life is our desire for approval and fame. In the process of always looking for fame and glory, there is the danger that we will stop living. In order to seek approval from others we fail to find a sense of approval within our own spirit. When we become aware that we are missing so much out of life, we can decide that we want to make changes. Our best move is to start small. If we are having a meal, whether a great festival feast or a modest supper, it is always within our power to take it slowly and really feel, taste, and enjoy the food before us. Few of us can easily do like Henry David Thoreau and get away from it all in the wilderness. But we can make small changes every single day. 51. What wisdom is conveyed in Thoreau’s words? A. Stay away from city life.  B. Live one’s life to the fullest. C. Only nature can bring happiness.  D. One can never be too old to learn. 52. Why did the author mention the film Dead Poets Society? A. To recommend a good film.  B. To praise the teacher’s wisdom. C. To state its connections with Thoreau.  D. To further illustrate Thoreau’s wisdom. 53. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s seeking for approval? A. Critical.  B. Supportive.  C. Sympathetic.  D. Unconcerned. 54. What can we learn from the passage? A. Thoreau’s insights outshine those of ancient philosophers. B. Thoreau encourages complete isolation from society. C. Thoreau’s philosophy on life remains valuable. D. Thoreau’s practical advice ensures a successful life. 55. How can we overcome barriers to living fully according to the passage? A. By isolating ourselves in nature like Thoreau. B. By seeking approval from others. C. By making small changes in our daily lives. D. By waiting until we achieve our goals to find happiness 四、写作（共1题，共15分） 56. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津，你校推荐你参加以“Sports Personality”为主题的英语演讲比赛，请你写一篇演讲稿，推荐一位能体现“超越自我、永不言弃”精神的中国运动员，内容包括： 1．推荐这位运动员，并简要介绍其运动项目及主要成就； 2．说明推荐理由（如克服的困难、展现的体育精神等）； 3．号召同学们学习其精神。 注意：（1）词数不少于100，约150词；（2）可适当增加细节，使行文连贯；（3）演讲稿的开头已给出。 参考词汇：超越自我transcend oneself   坚持不懈persistence Good morning, everyone!

This achievement symbolizes more than a decade of unwavering efforts in a world of silence. Hu, born in 2005 in a village in Macheng, Central China’s Hubei province, has faced various obstacles throughout his life — he lost his father at the age of five and moved in with his grandparents after his mother remarried. However, Hu’s passion for learning always ran high. With the encouragement and support of his family, he enrolled in a school specifically designed for hearing-impaired children. “Adapting to life in a group was tough,” Hu signed. “I had to get used to the new environment, follow new rules, and learn how to interact with others. But over time, these challenges became easier to manage.” Hu recalls how his teachers used various tailored techniques and tools to support student learning. These included multimedia lessons, hearing aids, speech recognition devices, and other assistive technologies, all designed to make learning more accessible. After completing middle school, Hu continued his education at a specialized high school in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province. The school offered a broader curriculum, including English. However, for students with hearing and speech impairments, learning a foreign language can be particularly difficult. While many of his peers had some basic knowledge of the language and were exposed to English through songs, movies, and everyday conversations, Hu had no prior exposure, making the task even more daunting. “For me, the key to learning English is through reading, writing, and translation,” Hu signed. He created a detailed study plan and adhered to (坚持) it, learning to prioritize his tasks and manage his time effectively. This year, Hu Miaokun took the national college entrance examination, or gaokao. His hard work paid off. Since May, Hu Miaokun has received acceptance letters from all seven universities to which he applied. Ultimately, Hu Miaokun decided to pursue product design at his dream school, Tianjin University of Technology. With ambitions of becoming a 3D designer specializing in product modeling, he is now focusing on mastering various modeling software, such as 3Ds Max and Adobe Illustrator. “I’m deeply thankful to my aunt and everyone who has supported me,” Hu Miaokun signed. “I will continue to work hard in my studies and, in the future, use my skills to inspire and assist others.” 41. What does the underlined word “unwavering” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Modest.  B. Ambitious. C. Tolerant. D. Determined. 42. What can we infer about Hu’s teachers in the school for hearing-impaired children? A. They preferred to use traditional teaching methods. B. They were not well-equipped to teach students with disabilities. C. They made efforts to use various tools to help students learn. D. They focused more on students’ physical health than studies. 43. By mentioning English, the author intends to _________. A. recommend the key to learning  B. show the barriers Hu encountered C. highlight the importance of English  D. promote daily interactions in English 44. What do we know about Hu Miaokun? A. He refused to follow new rules. B. He failed to adapt to his school life. C. He was junior to his classmates in learning. D. He was into learning despite many difficulties. 45. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. “Deaf” Teenagers in a World of Silence B. “Silent” but Not Silent: Hu Miaokun’s Sad Story C. Hearing-disadvantaged Teen’s Journey to University Success D. A Teenager’s Battle Against Silence: From Struggle to Survival 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. B 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了听障少年Hu Miaokun克服重重困难，最终被七所大学录取的励志故事。 【41题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“During the summer, Hu Miaokun, a 19-year-old diagnosed with congenital (先天的) deafness at the age of two, experienced a life-altering moment: he received acceptance letters from seven universities. This achievement symbolizes more than a decade of unwavering efforts in a world of silence. (19岁的Hu Miaokun在两岁时被确诊为先天性失聪，今年夏天他迎来了改变人生的时刻：收到了七所大学的录取通知书。这份成就，是他在无声世界里十余载unwavering努力换来的)”可知，Hu Miaokun两岁时被诊断为先天性耳聋，而今取得如今的成就，是他十多年如一日努力的结果，因此unwavering意为“坚定的，始终如一的”，与determined意思一致。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Hu recalls how his teachers used various tailored techniques and tools to support student learning. These included multimedia lessons, hearing aids, speech recognition devices, and other assistive technologies, all designed to make learning more accessible. (Hu回忆了老师们如何使用各种量身定制的技术和工具来支持学生学习。这些包括多媒体课程、助听器、语音识别设备和其他辅助技术，所有这些都是为了让学习更容易)”可知，Hu的老师努力使用各种工具帮助学生学习。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段 “However, for students with hearing and speech impairments, learning a foreign language can be particularly difficult. While many of his peers had some basic knowledge of the language and were exposed to English through songs, movies, and everyday conversations, Hu had no prior exposure, making the task even more daunting. (然而，对于有听力和语言障碍的学生来说，学习外语可能特别困难。虽然他的许多同龄人有一些语言基础知识，并通过歌曲、电影和日常对话接触英语，但Hu以前没有接触过，这使得任务更加艰巨)”可知，作者提到英语是为了展示Hu遇到的障碍。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, Hu’s passion for learning always ran high. (然而，Hu对学习的热情一直很高)”以及最后一段“I will continue to work hard in my studies and, in the future, use my skills to inspire and assist others.(我将继续努力学习，将来也愿意运用自己的技能去激励和帮助他人)”以及全文内容可知，尽管面临许多困难，他仍然热爱学习。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“During the summer, Hu Miaokun, a 19-year-old diagnosed with congenital (先天的) deafness at the age of two, experienced a life-altering moment: he received acceptance letters from seven universities. (19岁的Hu Miaokun在两岁时被确诊为先天性失聪，今年夏天他迎来了改变人生的时刻：收到了七所大学的录取通知书)”可知，本文的最佳标题是“听障青少年通往大学成功的旅程”。 C According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed (安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them. Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil. “Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE) project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators (传粉昆虫). Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities — and now there are guidelines for solar farms. Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that’s going on in the landscape,” says Macknick. 46. What do solar developers often ignore? A. The decline in the demand for solar energy. B. The negative impact of installing solar panels. C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D. The most recent advances in solar technology. 47. What does InSPIRE aim to do? A. Improve the productivity of local farms. B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds. C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas. 48. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To conserve pollinators.  B. To restrict solar development. C. To diversify the economy.  D. To ensure the supply of energy. 49. How do pollinator-friendly solar farms benefit the environment and the agricultural economy? A. By reducing chemical use and improving soil quality. B. By increasing solar energy production efficiency. C. By providing habitats for pollinators and reducing carbon emissions. D. By promoting the use of small-stones under solar panels. 50. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay  B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture  D. Solar Farms: A New Development 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. A 49. C 50. D 【解析】 【导语】传统太阳能农场会破坏土地，新型友好太阳能农场为传粉昆虫提供栖息地，兼顾环保与农业发展。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven’t given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they’ll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.(太阳能开发商希望尽可能快速且廉价地安装太阳能板，所以他们很少考虑在太阳能板下面放置什么。通常，他们最终会用小石子填满地面，并使用化学药剂来控制杂草。结果是，许多社区，尤其是在农业地区，把太阳能电站视为土壤的破坏者。)”可知，太阳能开发者常常忽视安装太阳能板带来的负面影响。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land.(InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的可行方法，重点是以对土地更友好的方式建设和运营太阳能农场。)”可知，InSPIRE旨在让太阳能项目更加环保。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use.(超过28个州已经通过了与传粉昆虫栖息地保护以及杀虫剂使用相关的法律。)”可知，这些法律的目的是保护传粉昆虫。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction.(在过去几年里，很多太阳能农场开发者把太阳能板下方的区域改造成各类传粉昆虫的庇护所，实现了土壤改良与减碳。)”可知，这类太阳能农场为传粉昆虫提供栖息地并且减少碳排放，有益于环境和农业经济。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators (传粉昆虫).(InSPIRE正在研究“低影响”太阳能开发的实用方法，这种方法侧重于以对土地更友好的方式建设和运营太阳能电站。最容易实施的低影响太阳能策略之一，就是为传粉昆虫提供栖息地。)”以及全文内容可知，文章介绍太阳能农场的新型发展方向，所以D项“Solar Farms: A New Development(太阳能农场：一项新的发展)”符合语境。 D Let’s take a moment to consider the words of one of America’s most remarkable philosophers, Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau spent the years 1845 — 1847 living on the outskirts of society in a small cabin in the woods by the side of Walden Pond. He called this period of his life an experiment of intentional living and wrote this famous paragraph: I went to the woods because I wished to live intentionally, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow (吸取精华) of life. There is great wisdom in Thoreau’s purpose here, and I think it’s very useful to ask ourselves this question: What would our lives be like if we sucked all the marrow out of life? If Thoreau’s quote sounds familiar, it may be from watching the film Dead Poets Society, a movie with deep wisdom. The film is about young men at a boarding school as they prepare to do good in the world because they have the privilege to bring about change. Their English teacher tries to convince them that they should live life well now instead of believing that they will find happiness after they reach certain goals. Part of his argument is conveyed by quoting this famous passage from Thoreau. Sucking the marrow out of life sounds simple enough, but as a matter of fact, it may be the most difficult thing that we can ever do. But it actually is as simple as it sounds — though “simple” is not quite the same thing as “easy”. I can think of one barrier that often keeps us from living our best lives. What keeps us from getting the most out of life is our desire for approval and fame. In the process of always looking for fame and glory, there is the danger that we will stop living. In order to seek approval from others we fail to find a sense of approval within our own spirit. When we become aware that we are missing so much out of life, we can decide that we want to make changes. Our best move is to start small. If we are having a meal, whether a great festival feast or a modest supper, it is always within our power to take it slowly and really feel, taste, and enjoy the food before us. Few of us can easily do like Henry David Thoreau and get away from it all in the wilderness. But we can make small changes every single day. 51. What wisdom is conveyed in Thoreau’s words? A. Stay away from city life.  B. Live one’s life to the fullest. C. Only nature can bring happiness.  D. One can never be too old to learn. 52. Why did the author mention the film Dead Poets Society? A. To recommend a good film.  B. To praise the teacher’s wisdom. C. To state its connections with Thoreau.  D. To further illustrate Thoreau’s wisdom. 53. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s seeking for approval? A. Critical.  B. Supportive.  C. Sympathetic.  D. Unconcerned. 54. What can we learn from the passage? A. Thoreau’s insights outshine those of ancient philosophers. B. Thoreau encourages complete isolation from society. C. Thoreau’s philosophy on life remains valuable. D. Thoreau’s practical advice ensures a successful life. 55. How can we overcome barriers to living fully according to the passage? A. By isolating ourselves in nature like Thoreau. B. By seeking approval from others. C. By making small changes in our daily lives. D. By waiting until we achieve our goals to find happiness 【答案】51. B 52. D 53. A 54. C 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要通过解读Henry David Thoreau的名言，探讨如何充实生活的智慧。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I went to the woods because I wished to live intentionally, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

(我走进森林是因为我希望有意识地生活，直面生活的基本事实，看看我是否能学到它所能教给我的东西，而不是在我临死时才发现我没有活过。我想要深入地生活，吸取生活的全部精华。)”可知，Thoreau的话传达的智慧是“充实地生活”。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“If Thoreau’s quote sounds familiar, it may be from watching the film Dead Poets Society, a movie with deep wisdom. The film is about young men at a boarding school as they prepare to do good in the world because they have the privilege to bring about change. (如果Thoreau的引述听起来很熟悉，那可能是因为你看过电影《死亡诗社》，这是一部具有深刻智慧的电影。这部电影讲述了一所寄宿学校的年轻人准备在世界上做好事，因为他们有特权带来改变。)”可知，作者提到电影《死亡诗社》是为了进一步阐释Thoreau的智慧。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“What keeps us from getting the most out of life is our desire for approval and fame. In the process of always looking for fame and glory, there is the danger that we will stop living. (阻碍我们充分利用生活的是我们对认可和名声的渴望。在总是追求名声和荣耀的过程中，我们面临着停止生活的危险。)”可知，作者对人们寻求认可的态度是批评的。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“There is great wisdom in Thoreau’s purpose here, and I think it’s very useful to ask ourselves this question: What would our lives be like if we sucked all the marrow out of life? (Thoreau的目的中有伟大的智慧，我认为问自己这个问题非常有用：如果我们吸取了生活的全部精华，我们的生活会是什么样子？)”可知，Thoreau的人生哲学至今仍然有价值。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When we become aware that we are missing so much out of life, we can decide that we want to make changes. Our best move is to start small. (当我们意识到我们错过了生活中如此多的东西时，我们可以决定我们想要做出改变。我们最好的行动是从小事做起。)”以及“But we can make small changes every single day. (但我们每天都可以做出小小的改变。)”可知，我们可以通过在日常生活中做出小的改变来克服充实生活的障碍。 四、写作（共1题，共15分） 56. 假设你是晨光中学的学生李津，你校推荐你参加以“Sports Personality”为主题的英语演讲比赛，请你写一篇演讲稿，推荐一位能体现“超越自我、永不言弃”精神的中国运动员，内容包括： 1．推荐这位运动员，并简要介绍其运动项目及主要成就； 2．说明推荐理由（如克服的困难、展现的体育精神等）； 3．号召同学们学习其精神。 注意：（1）词数不少于100，约150词；（2）可适当增加细节，使行文连贯；（3）演讲稿的开头已给出。 参考词汇：超越自我transcend oneself   坚持不懈persistence Good morning, everyone! I’m Li Jin from Chenguang High School. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Good morning, everyone! I’m Li Jin from Chenguang High School. Today, I’d like to talk about my sports personality — Su Bingtian. Su is known as the “Asian Flying Man.” At the Tokyo Olympics, he ran the 100m semifinal in 9.83 seconds, becoming the first Asian to reach the Olympic 100m final. This broke the stereotype that Asians cannot excel in sprinting. What impresses me most is his persistence. Facing age, injuries and doubts, he never gave up. He even changed his starting foot and trained scientifically to improve. He is not just an athlete; he is a symbol of courage and hope. As he once said, “I want to prove that there is no limit to human potential.” His story shows that with determination, we can transcend ourselves. Let’s learn from Su: set big goals, work hard, and never stop challenging ourselves. His spirit encourages me to face my own challenges.
