Setting his sights on the 24 Hours of Le Mans sports car race in 2026, Team BRIT founder and CEO Dave Player explains: “If you’re a mountain climber, you want to climb Everest eventually and if you’re an endurance racer, you dream of competing in the Le Mans 24 Hours. It’s a legendary, historic event that every racing driver sets their sights on.” Meet Team BRIT, the car racing team overcoming life-threatening accidents and health conditions to compete in the most reputable championships in the world.
If the team gets to compete in what is widely judged to be the world’s most exhausting endurance race, they’ll also enter the history books as the first all-disabled team to do so. It’s something they have to work up to, with all the drivers needing the necessary experience and suitable cars.
Other disabled drivers have taken part, but only through a wild card, non-competitive plan. “We don’t want that,” Dave, 54, insists. “We want to compete on a level playing field, as a statement that even as disabled racing drivers we belong on a world stage. We want to earn our place, not have it given to us.”
As a wheelchair user since he dove into a lake and broke his neck at 23, Dave set up the charity Kart Force in 2010 as a way for injured old soldiers to use sports car for recovery. He went on to found Team BRIT in 2015—creating a set of hand controls that could be installed in racing cars to enable drivers with disabilities to compete side by side with able-bodied competitors. Based at Dunsfold Park (also home of the Top Gear test track near Cranleigh), it is a competitive, sponsorship-supported racing team.
Every test lap at Dunsfold is fired by the same belief: the summit of endurance racing is not reserved for the able-bodied, but for the daring who refuse to quit. When the green flag falls in 2026, Team BRIT will prove that the only real disability is a mind that never dares to race.
24. Why does Dave Player regard the Le Mans 24 Hours as his final goal
A. It is the first race he has ever watched on TV.
B. It is the only race that allows disabled drivers.
C. It offers the biggest money prize in motor sports.
D. It is seen as the highest mountain in endurance racing.
25. In what aspect is Team BRIT different from other disabled participants
A. They have a wild card entry. B. They never take the world stage.
C. They make non-competitive schemes. D. They aim to earn their position themselves.
26. What did Dave do first after his own accident
A. He built the Top Gear test track.
B. He created hand controls for racing cars.
C. He started Kart Force to help injured soldiers.
D. He founded Team BRIT for the disabled competitors.
27. Which words would best describe Dave Player
A. Determined but mean. B. Talented but reserved.
C. Caring and ambitious. D. Patient and cautious.
C
Looking at his pile of unpaid bills always makes Giuseppe Del Giudice feel uneasy. Sometimes he got late fees because of his habit of putting things off, but in many ways the emotional loss is worse. “The longer the bills go unpaid,” says Del Giudice, “the more anxious I get.”
Everyone procrastinates (拖延). “It’s common,” says procrastination researcher Tim Pychyl, a psychology professor at Carleton University, Canada. “One of the ways we cope is to run away, and that’s what procrastination comes down to.”
You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even pleasant tasks such as planning a vacation. Research has shown that the top tasks people delay are cleaning, advancing their careers, taking care of their health and planning their finances.
One big factor for them is fear of being judged by others and themselves. Kelli Saginak procrastinated about looking for a new job for years. “It’s totally fear of failure and of not living up to expectations,” says Saginak. “If I don’t take the risk, I don’t have to face the judgment. Yet it’s simply me judging myself.” Some people embrace procrastination, believing that they perform well under pressure. Researchers have uncovered the truth. Most of them did worse than non-procrastinators, but they thought they did better.
Whatever the motivation, procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. Procrastinators experience higher levels of stress, both from leaving things to the last minute and from their own negative and self-critical feelings about their procrastination. Some of the research has also shown that this stress increases the risks of many diseases. “We used to believe behaviours follow attitude, but if you take immediate action, you’ll make progress, thus motivating yourself.” Pychyl says. So next time you procrastinate on starting an exercise routine, just put on your walking shoes at once.
28. Why does the author mention Del Giudice in Paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To spark the interest.
C. To explain the reason. D. To take the example.
29. What do researchers identify as the main reason for most procrastination
A. Too many urgent tasks to handle at once.
B. A lack of proper time-management skills.
C. Fear of self-assessment and external evaluation.
D. The enjoyment of working under tight deadlines.
30. How can you deal with procrastination according to the text
A. By finding what drives you. B. By taking a positive attitude.
C. By getting started right now. D. By making a routine schedule.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The solutions to procrastination. B. An introduction to procrastination.
C. The dangers of procrastination. D. The main causes of procrastination.
D
From his office in New Haven, Yale ecologist Jeremy Cohen experiences the full range of the four seasons. It occurred to him that many of his research subjects — North American birds eschew the seasons, instead seeking the same weather conditions all year long across their migratory (迁移的) routes.
To better understand how different species of North American birds track these preferred climatic conditions, Cohen determined the environmental conditions using satellite weather data, which allowed him to assess how those conditions experienced by each species change throughout the seasons. This analysis was the first to consider the importance of weather change in determining how bird species track their habitats across seasons. Past studies had evaluated only the average weather conditions, leaving vital knowledge gaps about both the ecology and potential danger of birds.
“We found that some migratory species can track temperature or rainfall throughout the year, going out of their way to experience the same weather all year long, while others experience strong changes in seasonal conditions throughout the year,” said Cohen. Long distance migratory birds, such as the prothonotary warbler, are excellent habitat-trackers. Their migration means they can seek out preferred conditions. Small-bodied birds, such as vireos, and insect-eaters, such as flycatchers, also tend to closely track their habitats over the year, while large-bodied birds are able to bear a wide range of conditions over the year.
Revealing these patterns was no simple task. For the study, Cohen had to combine data from millions of current records for over 600 bird species along with 22 years of weather data. Such a task would not have been possible even a decade ago. “It’s important to understand how wildlife is handling the consequences of speeding up climate change so that, as climate change speeds up, we can prevent the fall of ecological communities and biological diversity while avoiding the loss of ecosystem services,” Cohen said.
32. What does the underlined word “eschew” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Search. B. Avoid. C. Endure. D. Forecast.
pared with previous researches, Cohen’s study is novel because ______.
A. it records daily behaviour via satellite data. B. it links body size with migration distance.
C. it tracks weather change beyond averages. D. it surveys 600-plus bird species worldwide.
34. Why are varieties of birds in Paragraph 3 mentioned
A. To indicate distance links with latitude. B. To prove body size decides migration route.
C. To highlight the urgency in climate change. D. To show tracking skill differs among species.
35. What can we infer from Cohen’s words in the last paragraph
A. Satellite records alone can save threatened birds.
B Ecological collapse is now beyond human control.
C. Without big-data insight, timely protection may fail.
D. Climate change mainly threatens large-bodied species.

The ways to turn one day off into a 24-hour vacation
For people with inflexible schedules or limited time off from work, flying for a day trip can be an attainable way to experience a place without committing to a longer vacation. Kevin Droniak says he is “addicted” to 24-hour travel.
Droniak, a content creator, has documented over a dozen trips originating from New York on TikTok. ____36____ Typically, it involves an early-morning flight, a period of exploring a city or a specific attraction, then a departure in the evening or the following morning. “I want to showcase that travel can have an incredible impact even if time isn’t on your side,” said Droniak, 28. Fast-paced travel and 24-hour journeys appear earlier than social media and viral fads. However, this hardcore style of travel taps into our modern desire for quick, impactful experiences that are easily documented and shared. ____37____
Droniak says the key to jet-setting day trips is not to over-plan. ____38____ On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. ____39____ Most people might consider a route like this extremely exhausting, but Droniak insists that he embraced and enjoyed the sweaty adventure.
“I know it’s not for everyone, but, for me, I love just sitting on a plane, so flying is part of the fun. It’s also helpful that I can sleep upright,” he said. The idea of flying anywhere for a day trip is inconceivable, but Droniak considers the most worthwhile experiences are ones that fully get you out of the house. “____40____ Because it makes it possible to experience a childlike sense of wonder again,” he said.
A. You shouldn’t over-plan your trip.
B. It’s travel’s version of instant satisfaction.
C. Even a short trip is better than staying home.
D. And in Paris, his purpose was to visit the Eiffel Tower.
E. That means having only one “motive” for each place.
F. 24-hour travel is not a new idea and has been popular since it appeared.
G. Of these trips, he usually sticks to a “24-hour whirlwind check-off” format.

Cold wind brushed against Leo’s cheeks as he hurried down the snowy sidewalk. His shift at the grocery store had ended late, and he had skipped dinner just to clean up the mess in aisle (过道) four. The streets were quiet, and the bus stop ahead looked like a tiny island in the dark. As Leo got closer, he saw the red taillights of the last bus pulling away. “No!” he shouted, breaking into a run. But it was too late.
Leo stood there for a moment, breathing hard, watching the bus disappear down the street. His phone was dead, his gloves were too thin and he had no money for a taxi. The walk home would take at least an hour, and the snow was starting to fall again. Leo sat down on the cold bench, rubbing (搓) his hands together and trying not to feel too sorry for himself.
Across the street, a small café still had its lights on. A sign in the window said “Open Late”, and warm yellow light spilled out onto the sidewalk. Leo hesitated. He didn’t want to spend money he didn’t have, but he also didn’t want to freeze. Finally, he crossed the street and pushed open the door.
Inside, it smelled like cinnamon (肉桂) and hot chocolate. The woman behind the counter looked up and gave him a kind smile. “Long night ” she asked. Leo nodded and told her about the missed bus. “Well, sit down and warm up,” she said, already pouring a drink. “This is free.”
Leo held the warm mug between his hands and took small sips (一小口), letting the heat return to his body. The cafe was quiet except for soft jazz playing in the background. The woman brought him a plate of cookies.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右;

M: I’m not sure, May, but Tom telephoned me and said he was going to volunteer on an International Volunteer program in Costa Rica. So I checked it on the Internet last night.

【原文】 W: Hello everyone. I’m the director of The Jeeves School and this morning I’m going to go through some information to help you all make sure your time here goes well. So, first of all, lateness. We have quite a strict policy. If you are more than 10 minutes late, we ask you to wait until the break to join the class, so the rest of the class can work better. There isn’t an exact time for the break, but it tends to be around 10:30, and they’re usually half an hour. There’s a coffee machine in the student common room downstairs. But the machine has a habit of breaking down, so if you find it’s not working, please tell Jenny at the reception desk. There are toilets on the second floor and ground floor. These are regularly cleaned so we don’t tend to have any problems with them. As well as the courses, we have a great social program. Activities are open to everyone and they have a habit of filling up quickly, so check the noticeboard in the common room for new events. You can book with Kit, our social program organizer. And finally, as a rule, we have a free barbeque on the first Friday of every month. That’s all from me. Any questions

Setting his sights on the 24 Hours of Le Mans sports car race in 2026, Team BRIT founder and CEO Dave Player explains: “If you’re a mountain climber, you want to climb Everest eventually and if you’re an endurance racer, you dream of competing in the Le Mans 24 Hours. It’s a legendary, historic event that every racing driver sets their sights on.” Meet Team BRIT, the car racing team overcoming life-threatening accidents and health conditions to compete in the most reputable championships in the world.
If the team gets to compete in what is widely judged to be the world’s most exhausting endurance race, they’ll also enter the history books as the first all-disabled team to do so. It’s something they have to work up to, with all the drivers needing the necessary experience and suitable cars.
Other disabled drivers have taken part, but only through a wild card, non-competitive plan. “We don’t want that,” Dave, 54, insists. “We want to compete on a level playing field, as a statement that even as disabled racing drivers we belong on a world stage. We want to earn our place, not have it given to us.”
As a wheelchair user since he dove into a lake and broke his neck at 23, Dave set up the charity Kart Force in 2010 as a way for injured old soldiers to use sports car for recovery. He went on to found Team BRIT in 2015—creating a set of hand controls that could be installed in racing cars to enable drivers with disabilities to compete side by side with able-bodied competitors. Based at Dunsfold Park (also home of the Top Gear test track near Cranleigh), it is a competitive, sponsorship-supported racing team.
Every test lap at Dunsfold is fired by the same belief: the summit of endurance racing is not reserved for the able-bodied, but for the daring who refuse to quit. When the green flag falls in 2026, Team BRIT will prove that the only real disability is a mind that never dares to race.
24. Why does Dave Player regard the Le Mans 24 Hours as his final goal
A. It is the first race he has ever watched on TV.
B. It is the only race that allows disabled drivers.
C. It offers the biggest money prize in motor sports.
D. It is seen as the highest mountain in endurance racing.
25. In what aspect is Team BRIT different from other disabled participants
A. They have a wild card entry. B. They never take the world stage.
C. They make non-competitive schemes. D. They aim to earn their position themselves.
26. What did Dave do first after his own accident
A. He built the Top Gear test track.
B. He created hand controls for racing cars.
C. He started Kart Force to help injured soldiers.
D. He founded Team BRIT for the disabled competitors.
27. Which words would best describe Dave Player
A. Determined but mean. B. Talented but reserved.
C. Caring and ambitious. D. Patient and cautious.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. C 27. C

Looking at his pile of unpaid bills always makes Giuseppe Del Giudice feel uneasy. Sometimes he got late fees because of his habit of putting things off, but in many ways the emotional loss is worse. “The longer the bills go unpaid,” says Del Giudice, “the more anxious I get.”
Everyone procrastinates (拖延). “It’s common,” says procrastination researcher Tim Pychyl, a psychology professor at Carleton University, Canada. “One of the ways we cope is to run away, and that’s what procrastination comes down to.”
You can procrastinate on nearly anything, even pleasant tasks such as planning a vacation. Research has shown that the top tasks people delay are cleaning, advancing their careers, taking care of their health and planning their finances.
One big factor for them is fear of being judged by others and themselves. Kelli Saginak procrastinated about looking for a new job for years. “It’s totally fear of failure and of not living up to expectations,” says Saginak. “If I don’t take the risk, I don’t have to face the judgment. Yet it’s simply me judging myself.” Some people embrace procrastination, believing that they perform well under pressure. Researchers have uncovered the truth. Most of them did worse than non-procrastinators, but they thought they did better.
Whatever the motivation, procrastination is usually not going to be good for you. Procrastinators experience higher levels of stress, both from leaving things to the last minute and from their own negative and self-critical feelings about their procrastination. Some of the research has also shown that this stress increases the risks of many diseases. “We used to believe behaviours follow attitude, but if you take immediate action, you’ll make progress, thus motivating yourself.” Pychyl says. So next time you procrastinate on starting an exercise routine, just put on your walking shoes at once.
28. Why does the author mention Del Giudice in Paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To spark the interest.
C. To explain the reason. D. To take the example.
29. What do researchers identify as the main reason for most procrastination
A. Too many urgent tasks to handle at once.
B. A lack of proper time-management skills.
C. Fear of self-assessment and external evaluation.
D. The enjoyment of working under tight deadlines.
30. How can you deal with procrastination according to the text
A. By finding what drives you. B. By taking a positive attitude.
C. By getting started right now. D. By making a routine schedule.
31. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The solutions to procrastination. B. An introduction to procrastination.
C. The dangers of procrastination. D. The main causes of procrastination.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. B
D
From his office in New Haven, Yale ecologist Jeremy Cohen experiences the full range of the four seasons. It occurred to him that many of his research subjects — North American birds eschew the seasons, instead seeking the same weather conditions all year long across their migratory (迁移的) routes.
To better understand how different species of North American birds track these preferred climatic conditions, Cohen determined the environmental conditions using satellite weather data, which allowed him to assess how those conditions experienced by each species change throughout the seasons. This analysis was the first to consider the importance of weather change in determining how bird species track their habitats across seasons. Past studies had evaluated only the average weather conditions, leaving vital knowledge gaps about both the ecology and potential danger of birds.
“We found that some migratory species can track temperature or rainfall throughout the year, going out of their way to experience the same weather all year long, while others experience strong changes in seasonal conditions throughout the year,” said Cohen. Long distance migratory birds, such as the prothonotary warbler, are excellent habitat-trackers. Their migration means they can seek out preferred conditions. Small-bodied birds, such as vireos, and insect-eaters, such as flycatchers, also tend to closely track their habitats over the year, while large-bodied birds are able to bear a wide range of conditions over the year.
Revealing these patterns was no simple task. For the study, Cohen had to combine data from millions of current records for over 600 bird species along with 22 years of weather data. Such a task would not have been possible even a decade ago. “It’s important to understand how wildlife is handling the consequences of speeding up climate change so that, as climate change speeds up, we can prevent the fall of ecological communities and biological diversity while avoiding the loss of ecosystem services,” Cohen said.
32. What does the underlined word “eschew” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Search. B. Avoid. C. Endure. D. Forecast.
pared with previous researches, Cohen’s study is novel because ______.
A. it records daily behaviour via satellite data. B. it links body size with migration distance.
C. it tracks weather change beyond averages. D. it surveys 600-plus bird species worldwide.
34. Why are varieties of birds in Paragraph 3 mentioned
A. To indicate distance links with latitude. B. To prove body size decides migration route.
C. To highlight the urgency in climate change. D. To show tracking skill differs among species.
35. What can we infer from Cohen’s words in the last paragraph
A. Satellite records alone can save threatened birds.
B Ecological collapse is now beyond human control.
C. Without big-data insight, timely protection may fail.
D. Climate change mainly threatens large-bodied species.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C

The ways to turn one day off into a 24-hour vacation
For people with inflexible schedules or limited time off from work, flying for a day trip can be an attainable way to experience a place without committing to a longer vacation. Kevin Droniak says he is “addicted” to 24-hour travel.
Droniak, a content creator, has documented over a dozen trips originating from New York on TikTok. ____36____ Typically, it involves an early-morning flight, a period of exploring a city or a specific attraction, then a departure in the evening or the following morning. “I want to showcase that travel can have an incredible impact even if time isn’t on your side,” said Droniak, 28. Fast-paced travel and 24-hour journeys appear earlier than social media and viral fads. However, this hardcore style of travel taps into our modern desire for quick, impactful experiences that are easily documented and shared. ____37____
Droniak says the key to jet-setting day trips is not to over-plan. ____38____ On a trip to Puerto Rico, for instance, his objective was simply to go to the beach. In Cairo (yes, Droniak spent one day there from New York), his only goal was to see the pyramids. ____39____ Most people might consider a route like this extremely exhausting, but Droniak insists that he embraced and enjoyed the sweaty adventure.
“I know it’s not for everyone, but, for me, I love just sitting on a plane, so flying is part of the fun. It’s also helpful that I can sleep upright,” he said. The idea of flying anywhere for a day trip is inconceivable, but Droniak considers the most worthwhile experiences are ones that fully get you out of the house. “____40____ Because it makes it possible to experience a childlike sense of wonder again,” he said.
A. You shouldn’t over-plan your trip.
B. It’s travel’s version of instant satisfaction.
C. Even a short trip is better than staying home.
D. And in Paris, his purpose was to visit the Eiffel Tower.
E. That means having only one “motive” for each place.
F. 24-hour travel is not a new idea and has been popular since it appeared.
G. Of these trips, he usually sticks to a “24-hour whirlwind check-off” format.

67. 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。
Cold wind brushed against Leo’s cheeks as he hurried down the snowy sidewalk. His shift at the grocery store had ended late, and he had skipped dinner just to clean up the mess in aisle (过道) four. The streets were quiet, and the bus stop ahead looked like a tiny island in the dark. As Leo got closer, he saw the red taillights of the last bus pulling away. “No!” he shouted, breaking into a run. But it was too late.
Leo stood there for a moment, breathing hard, watching the bus disappear down the street. His phone was dead, his gloves were too thin and he had no money for a taxi. The walk home would take at least an hour, and the snow was starting to fall again. Leo sat down on the cold bench, rubbing (搓) his hands together and trying not to feel too sorry for himself.
Across the street, a small café still had its lights on. A sign in the window said “Open Late”, and warm yellow light spilled out onto the sidewalk. Leo hesitated. He didn’t want to spend money he didn’t have, but he also didn’t want to freeze. Finally, he crossed the street and pushed open the door.
Inside, it smelled like cinnamon (肉桂) and hot chocolate. The woman behind the counter looked up and gave him a kind smile. “Long night ” she asked. Leo nodded and told her about the missed bus. “Well, sit down and warm up,” she said, already pouring a drink. “This is free.”
Leo held the warm mug between his hands and took small sips (一小口), letting the heat return to his body. The cafe was quiet except for soft jazz playing in the background. The woman brought him a plate of cookies.
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。
“My husband used to miss his bus all the time,” she said, laughing.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As he stepped back into the snow, Leo felt lighter somehow.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
“My husband used to miss his bus all the time,” she said, laughing. “He’d come here just like you, half-frozen and frustrated. That’s why I keep the cafe open late—to offer a warm place for those in need.” He listened, deeply moved by her kindness, his throat tight with an emotion he couldn’t name. He finished the hot chocolate and cookies, feeling warmth not just in his body but also in his heart. It was a simple gesture, yet it felt like a lifeline, a quiet promise that he wasn’t as alone as he had thought. Before leaving, he insisted on helping her wipe the tables, despite her refusal.
As he stepped back into the snow, Leo felt lighter somehow. The cold wind no longer seemed so bitter, and the walk home felt shorter than before, the city lights now holding a gentle glow. He realized that sometimes, missing a bus could lead to meeting a kind soul—a small twist of fate that changed everything. The next day, he returned to the café with a thank-you card and a new pair of warm gloves, determined to spread the same warmth he had received. It was more than gratitude; it felt like the start of something new, a quiet promise to pass kindness forward.
