Zhang Xue is a key figure in China’s motorcycle industry. He founded ZXMOTO, a Chinese motorcycle brand that made history in 2026 by winning two straight races at the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) in Portugal. His journey is a true underdog story.
Born in 1987 in a poor mountain village in Hunan Province, Zhang dropped out of school at 14 and worked as a repair shop apprentice (学徒). He learned engines by taking them apart with his own hands. At 19, eager to prove himself, he chased a TV crew’s car for over 100 kilometers through pouring rain on a broken motorcycle. The crew laughed at him, but his courage earned him a spot on TV. That led to a job as a rider and mechanic.
Realizing he started racing too late to become a champion rider, Zhang changed his goal, “If I cannot ride the fastest bike, I will build one.” In 2013, he arrived in Chongqing with only 20,000 yuan (about 2,900 USD), bought parts, and built his first bike. In 2017 he cofounded Kove Moto, which grew into a major brand. But in 2024, after parting ways with Kove, he started ZXMOTO — his own company, named after his name.
Zhang’s years of devotion to motorcycle engineering has finally borne fruit. In March 2026, French rider Valentin Debise rode the ZXMOTO 820RRRS to two straight wins at WSBK, beating Ducati and Yamaha by nearly four seconds — the first ever race wins for a Chinese manufacturer. Watching from the sidelines, Zhang was moved to tears.
Today, ZXMOTO is valued at over one billion yuan. Zhang once said, “The world had no impression of Chinese motorcycles. Now they will remember us.” His story — from a motorcycle apprentice to a pioneer of Chinese motorsports — proves that passion and persistence can move mountains.
24. Why is Zhang’s childhood experience mentioned in paragraph 2
A．To explain the origin of his career.
B．To highlight his poor life in childhood.
C．To show his early interest in engines.
D．To stress his disadvantage in education.
25. What was Zhang’s original goal
A．To set up a top motorbike brand.
B．To build the fastest motorbike.
C．To work as a motorbike apprentice.
D．To become a top motorbike rider.
26. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A．Zhang’s devotion to his career.
B．The reward for Zhang’s efforts.
C．The performance of the motorbike.
D．Valentin’s performance in the race.
27. Which of the following is true of Zhang’s story
A．When in Rome, do as Romans do.
B．It’s better to be safe than sorry.
C．Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
D．A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Ocean litter is a major environmental problem around the world. To rise to this challenge, a research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now developed an autonomous (自动) diving robot that can discover and collect litter. It uses an AI system to analyze objects with ultrasound (超声波) and cameras, picks them up and brings them to the surface.
The entire system consists of an unmanned service boat with a small underwater search robot and the diving robot. The service boat supplies the underwater robots with power and data by cable (电缆) and uses ultrasound to map the seabed. After a search robot scans the seabed, the diving robot dives to the rubbish, collects it and puts it into a floating waste container.
Equipped with a camera and sonar, the system can identify rubbish even in dark and unclear water. Since hardly any image material is available for underwater objects that could help to train the search robot, the team labeled (标记) more than 7,000 pictures to teach the AI to tell rubbish from natural objects. After recognizing waste, the AI displays it in 3D to determine how to grasp (抓取) the object safely and firmly.
The diving robot’s four-fingered hand can use a force of 4,000 newtons when grasping objects weighing up to 250 kg. However, special sensors enable it to gauge how much force it can use without causing damage. For example, this prevents glass bottles from breaking into pieces.
Tested in the Port of Marseille in France and the Port of Hamburg in Germany, the system is expected to be widely used between 2030 and 2033. Project manager Bart De Schutter believes this technology could be game-changing in addressing ocean litter.
28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．How the system works.
B．How the service boat is powered.
C．What rubbish is picked up.
D．What the search robot is made of.
29. How does the system tell rubbish from natural objects underwater
A．By working with divers to check different objects.
B．By measuring the weight and size of the objects.
C．By using a special cable to display the objects in 3D.
D．By examining images with AI trained on labeled pictures.
30. What does the underlined word “gauge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Prove.
B．Imagine.
C．Judge.
D．Increase.
31. What is Bart De Schutter’s attitude toward the future of the technology
A．Doubtful.
B．Positive.
C．Unconcerned.
D．Unclear.
D
Cities are often regarded as environments that are unfriendly to wildlife, yet recent research reveals a different story — urban (城市的) areas are actually driving rapid evolutionary (进化的) changes in wild animals. Unlike rural habitats that change slowly over centuries, cities throw sudden challenges at wildlife: non-stop noise, artificial light throughout the night, limited food sources, crowded conditions, and frequent human activities. These great pressures push urban animals to adapt much faster than their country relatives, challenging traditional ideas about evolution’s pace.
For example, European city foxes have shorter noses, stronger jaws and are braver around humans for better urban survival, while city sparrows have bigger beaks to get food easily and some moths use street lights instead of moonlight to navigate. All these show cities reshape wildlife greatly. But this fast adaptation has hidden risks: small, isolated urban wildlife groups lack genetic variety, making them more at risk from diseases and natural disasters; artificial light upsets birds’ and insects’ breeding cycles, causing food mismatches that threaten their survival; urban adaptive features may be a disadvantage if they return to the wild.
Understanding these urban evolutionary processes is therefore essential for sustainable city planning. Researchers suggest that designers should combine greener spaces, wildlife corridors between parks, and areas with reduced light pollution, rather than treating urban wildlife as a problem. Such approaches not only protect animals but also improve life quality for human residents, highlighting the deep connection between urban development and the natural world.
As cities continue expanding globally, these examples of rapid adaptation offer valuable lessons about how life responds to human pressure. They raise important questions: Can we share urban spaces with wildlife without causing lasting harm How do we balance progress with ecological responsibility After all, cities are not just human areas — they are shared evolutionary places where all species must adapt to an increasingly urbanized planet.
32. What causes urban wildlife to change fast
A．The rich biodiversity in urban areas.
B．The suitable surroundings in cities.
C．The tough living conditions in cities.
D．The sudden change of rural ecosystem.
33. What can we learn about the changes in urban wildlife
A．They raise genetic variety.
B．They may harm elsewhere.
C．They develop over centuries.
D．They always benefit animals.
34. What do researchers recommend for urban planning
A．Placing human needs over natural ones.
B．Combining wildlife-friendly designs in cities.
C．Separating green spaces from residential areas.
D．Viewing urban wildlife as a manageable problem.
35. What is the best title for the passage
A．Animals Taking Over Cities.
B．Balancing Cities and Nature.
C．Wildlife Adaptation to Cities.
D．Hidden Risks to Urban Wildlife.

We use plastics to make many things, from medical equipment to TVs to food packaging. At the end of their useful life, most plastic products are thrown away. 36 ____________ This causes problems, especially for the world’s oceans. Scientists are working to solve the problems. But in the meantime, here are four things you can do to reduce plastic waste now.
Quit using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bags to the store. People use a trillion (1,000 billion) plastic bags worldwide every year. About 10 percent are used in the United States alone. That’s almost one bag per American per day. Meanwhile, a Dane uses four single-use bags per year on average. 37 ____________ Today, other countries either make customers pay for plastic bags, or have banned them completely.
Skip the straw (吸管). Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches. We should do something to turn over the situation. So when you order a drink, you can say no to the straw. 38 ____________ In 2018, Seattle became the first major US city to stop using plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example.
39 ____________ Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables on plastic packaging. In the United Kingdom, leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas. They also want to tax plastic take-out containers.
Recycle. 40 ____________ But it is possible to recycle most plastic bottles and milk or juice boxes. Today, Norway recycles 97 percent of its plastic bottles. How Machines at most supermarkets take the bottles and give a refund of up to 32 cents per bottle.
A．Build no-plastic regions.
B．We can’t recycle all plastic products.
C．You can also bring your own reusable one.
D．Avoid plastic packaging.

A week later, when I was cleaning my desk, something fell out of my English book. It was exactly the rare stamp I had been looking for. I stared at it in shock and shame. I had wrongly suspected Luke and ruined our friendship without any evidence. I realized how rude and selfish I was to shout at him coldly and refuse to listen to his explanation. Guilt washed over me instantly, and I made up my mind to say sorry to him at once.
I quickly ran toward Luke and he was surprised. I held out the stamp and apologized sincerely for my unreasonable doubt. Luke smiled and told me he had never blamed me. We sat under our old banyan tree again, chatting happily as before. That experience taught me never to judge a friend without solid proof, and true friendship can recover if we dare to admit our mistakes.
