三、阅读理解：本大题共10小题，共25分。
A
I was born and raised on the Gold Coast by a single parent, my incredible mother, Christine. Mum always attached great importance on higher education and I was educated from a young age to enter university.
Unfortunately for Mum, the thing that I had a special love for was cooking — not what she would have chosen for me. Knowing how hard restaurant work is, she wasn’t pleased with my idea. To keep my options open, I decided to apply for university but also cook throughout my studies with a part-time job. However, it wasn’t long before I found I was stuck in studying something not appealing to me, and this part-time work became my thing. I made the tough decision to quit my university major after graduation, switching to pursue a career in the kitchen. Although she wasn’t favorable with my choice, Mum has since been an incredible supporter.
Soon, I fell back into old patterns working in kitchens but feeling discontented. Then, social media changed everything. As an early user, I poured my creativity into the platform, discovering a talent for photography and storytelling. Soon, my audience grew to 200,000 followers. Recognizing the opportunity, I quit my job to pursue travel photography and social media full-time.
I traveled 50 trips a year at my peak while expanding into consulting, public speaking, and project management. I created social media content, photography and campaign reports. As a pioneer in Australia’s influencer market, my services became highly sought-after.
I established a travel account, teaching others to build careers in the industry, and launched an online photography course for beginners. Next year, I’ll lead my first photography tour in Zimbabwe, my partner’s homeland, combining my passions with conservation and community support. My journey has been challenging yet deeply fulfilling. Making money is no longer the main driver — instead, I seek meaningful experiences and opportunities to inspire others. What began as a small idea has grown into a life of adventure, creativity and purpose.

Over the past year, the Chicago Department of Transportation has completed 10 safety projects focused on protecting pedestrians (行人) and cyclists, particularly young people. These measures were introduced in response to accidents involving youth. Teens involved with West Town Bike — a nonprofit that runs cycling programs for students — have voiced concerns about cycling safety while also proposing concrete ideas for improvement.
Many of these students expressed mixed feelings about biking in the city: while they value the sense of freedom, they often do not feel safe. Their suggestions range from infrastructural (基础设施的) upgrades to educational initiatives. For example, David Harb from Lane Tech High School stressed the importance of safety training, such as hand signals, and recommended expanding National Walk and Bike to School Day to include high schools. He also proposed replacing stop signs with roundabouts to naturally slow traffic.
Other students highlighted issues with enforcement and infrastructure. Kaniyah Hale believes drivers who cause crashes with cyclists or pedestrians should receive stronger punishment. Armand Dunkines, who was hit while riding where a bike lane suddenly ends, urged the city to use data to guide bike lane placement and increase traffic law enforcement, especially on weekends. Tamara Scott, both a cyclist and a new driver, pointed out that bike lanes are frequently blocked by cars, emphasizing that motorists must be reminded they are sharing the road.
Christopher Garcia, an experienced cyclist, imagines a redesigned road system with separate spaces for bicycles and cars, along with shared zones. Together, these teens agree that making Chicago’s streets safer will require not only physical changes but also a shift in culture and attitudes among all road users.
20.What can be inferred about students’ views from paragraph 2
A. Biking safety must be ensured.
B. Steps count in reducing infrastructure costs.
C. Safety training outweighs facility upgrades.
D. Stop signs effectively slow down traffic flow.
21.Why does the author mention Armand Dunkines’ accident
A. To call on motorists to follow the rules.
B. To complain about the lack of bike lanes.
C. To show the benefits of law enforcement.
D. To criticize the poor design of infrastructure.
22.What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Chicago’s New Traffic Rules for Cyclistsv .
B. Teens’ Appeals for Safer Chicago Streets.
C. The History of Chicago Cycling Programs.
D. Chicago’s Shift toward Fewer Car Accidents.
C
Most people walk. But that seemingly simple act is actually a series of movements, each requiring their own timing and path. Not only that, everybody has a special style of walking, and if you know someone well enough, you can probably identify him by his movements, even from far away.
A new paper published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior presents a technique for making assumptions about a person’s entire personality based on their walk. The 29 participants first took the Big Five Inventory, a commonly used personality test helping predict patterns in a person’s thought and behaviour, social skills, tendency to worry, creativity and intelligence and extraversion (外向性). The researchers then recorded and analyzed the gaits (步态) of each participant.
“We found that larger relative-upper-to-lower body movement was a strong predictor of violent tendencies,” says co-author Liam Satchell, a PhD student at the University of Portsmouth. This research mathematically explains previous research where “unique” gait was helpful in predicting upcoming crimes through security cameras. If police officers were trained in recognizing threatening gaits, they might be able to prevent crimes before they happened. Satchell adds, “Possibly a further scientific exploration could uncover more evidence that the behaviors of another person can be predicted from how they move through space.”
One such study has come out recently. PLOS Computational Biology published a model to predict the probability of the path and timing of the parts of the movement shared by all people, and even the movements shared by people who have similar personality traits or are in the same moods — like people who are aggressive or bad-tempered.
Dr. Lars Lau Rakêt, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen, says, “In our model, we can combine information from thousands of movement patterns to get precise information about the structure of the movement, which ultimately allows us to judge whether the movement of an individual differs significantly from what we would expect to see in a given situation.”
23.What did the study participants experience in the research
A. They had their personality assessed.
B. They completed a series of physical tasks.
C. They were monitored through security cameras.
D. They were observed in various social situations.
24.According to Satchell, in what field may their research results be applied
A. Security service. B. Behavioral correction.
C. Scientific exploration D. Personality development.
25.What can Dr. Lars Lau Rakêt’s model assist researchers to do
A. Copy human behaviors.
B. Recover missing information.
C. Identify unique movements.
D. Adjust undesirable personalities.
26.What is the main purpose of the article
A. To present a new model for predicting human behavior.
B. To discuss how experiments change our way of thinking.
C. To highlight the importance of applying computer science.
D. To introduce the findings about a person’s pace and personality.
四、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共10分。
I started playing hockey (冰球) at the tender young age of 50, because both my 8-year-old and 4-year-old sons wanted to play. When I later became an assistant coach, I realized I knew very little about the game (my hockey skills were even worse). I had skated on ponds as a kid and could go forward, but had little ability to turn or go backwards. （27） But once each reached the 4th grade, their skills quickly surpassed (超过) mine! This made me realize that ice hockey was not just a game for kids; it was a sport that could be enjoyed and improved upon at any age.
（28） They went with their age group, while I skated with the men’s group, who, like me, wanted to get better. In high school, my sons got much better, and one even made All State for his final two years. （29） But I still really loved the sport. I also needed to find a year-round form of good exercise and, even better, a sense of trust and friendship.
Little did I know that playing hockey would allow me to make contacts across a variety of business enterprises, some that have helped me professionally in my own business, but also personally with my neighbors and service providers, such as contractors and electricians. （30） I’ve also become involved in helping to run a charity event that involves setting up a men’s competition to play in Madison Square Garden — a great opportunity to give back to the community. （31）
A．As my sons got better, so did I.
B．We often watched hockey on weekends at home.
C．Every summer, we went to hockey camps in Canada.
D．I had to give up my job to play hockey with my sons.
E．Additionally, I’ve made connections with those in public service.
F．In contrast, there is no room for further development of my ability.
G．All of this has been made possible because of my involvement in the game of hockey.

55.将下列语句（A、B、C、D和E）按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A．Instead, students who treat mistakes as lessons tend to improve faster, build confidence, and deal with later challenges more calmly. They develop the valuable ability to turn small failures into useful advice, creating a positive learning cycle.
B．Many schools and parents teach students to avoid mistakes. The message sounds caring, but it can quietly make students afraid to try new things, ask bold (大胆的) questions, or take creative risks in class and in daily life.
C． Building on this way of thinking and the lessons from such examples, we see that accepting mistakes as part of learning does not mean ignoring them. It means looking back at what went wrong, asking why, and planning the next step. This practical habit turns failure into progress and keeps motivation alive.
D．This view has guided many creators in history. Thomas Edison tested many designs before a working light bulb; each failed test showed what not to do. By collecting such lessons, he moved closer to success instead of giving up.
E. Seen in this light, mistakes are not the opposite of success; they are part of it. When we stop fearing failure, we make room for curiosity, stable growth, and real achievement that lasts more than one test or one score.

I hope this message finds you well. Hearing that the English Enthusiasts Association is preparing for the upcoming movie week, I couldn’t wait to recommend the English film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, which I think our fellow students will truly enjoy.
Not only does it feature authentic British English and everyday conversations, but it transports us into a magical world where friendship, courage, and the fight between good and evil take center stage. The characters are vividly portrayed, and the plot is both engaging and easy to follow. Besides, watching it can boost vocabulary in a fun way.
I truly believe it will be a hit. Thank you for considering my suggestion!
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Li Hua
