The Tour de France is one of the world’s most respected cycling events, drawing top athletes and passionate fans alike. While the race itself is reserved for professional teams, amateur cyclists have the opportunity to experience the thrill of the Tour through L’ tape 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 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’ tape 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 checking.
C．Preparing enough essentials.
D．Making a careful route research.
23. What is the text probably from

Back in 2003, Erica Fernandez was just a kid helping 20 adults take care of the beach. They overheard a plan to build a processing station for natural gas 14 miles off the coast of Oxnard. The plant would send over 200 tons of air pollution per year to Erica’s community. Not only that, the station would take in millions of gallons of seawater per day to cool its generators, and discharge the water more than 15 degrees centigrade hotter than the surrounding ocean. This hot wastewater would cause serious harm to the surrounding ecosystem, killing tiny creatures and small fish critical to the survival of marine mammals and fisheries.
Erica cared too much to stay silent. She joined her friends in weekly protests at the office of the natural gas company. Prospects of stopping the project did not look good. The governor was in favor of it, and so were the powerful state commissions that would have to approve it. “The word on the street was that there was nothing we could do.”
Behind the scenes, however, opposition was growing, so Erica became the spokesperson for the youth of the town. She regularly walked her neighborhood along the route of the proposed pipeline, using a hula hoop to show people the size of the pipe that would pass by their houses. She talked to the media, and stories about the dangers of the proposed facility began appearing in the press. “We made thousands of phone calls and sent thousands of postcards telling the governor why this facility was a bad idea.” In July 2007, the governor made an unexpected move: He turned down the project. Erica and her friends won!
As only the second person in her family to go to college, Erica wants to become an environmental lawyer so she can fight for the environment and for the rights of communities. She wants other young people to speak out when they see something wrong, even if they feel shy about it at first. She likes to quote the words of her role model, César Chávez: “We are the future. The future is ours.”
24. What can be learned about the to-be-built processing station
A．It is well-equipped. B．It is energy-saving.
C．It is climate-damaging. D．It is ecologically-unfriendly.
25. Why does the author mention the authorities’ response in paragraph 2

C．Speaking out makes a difference. D．Actions speak louder than words.
C
It is late at night. You wander empty streets, heart pounding, muscles tense, sensing danger nearby. Now imagine the same situation, but without these responses. Would you still feel afraid Experiences like this unveil a profound truth: our minds are not just products of the brain but emerge from its constant dialogue with the body.
At the heart of this connection is the vagus nerve (神经) — the body’s longest nerve. It winds its way from the brain throughout the head and trunk, issuing commands to our organs and receiving feelings from them. Much of the confusing range of functions it regulates are automatic and operate without conscious control. These complex responses engage a group of neural networks that link brain and body. The vagus nerve is, in one way of thinking, the conduit of the mind.
The primary function of the vagus nerve is to dampen the body’s responses. After a fear episode, for example, the body’s powerful, life-saving threat response must be ended to restore resting heartbeat, breathing, blood flow and the rest. So powerful is its influence that the vagus nerve can literally stop the beating heart. Conversely, it can also stimulate bodily responses by releasing the brakes to accelerate.
The vagus nerve is the biological basis for many new therapies (疗法) worldwide. However, some people have taken the vagus nerve’s wide-ranging bodily influence as an invitation to engage in false science. In some corners of the Internet, so-called polyvagal therapy—physical or breathing exercises that some claim reset the vagus nerve — is proposed to address just about any disorder of the mind or body. There’s little evidence that these popular therapies are anything but comfort.
The vagus nerve doesn’t need to be a cure for everything — its worth appreciating all on its own. Neuroscientists compare the vagus to an orchestra conductor, harmonizing bodily systems to compose our conscious experience. Professor Linda Rinaman once said, “We’re not just brains in jars. Our thoughts and feelings are rooted in flesh and blood.”
28. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1
A．By sharing a story. B．By creating a scene.
C．By asking a question. D．By defining a concept.
29. What does the underlined word “conduit” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Channel. B．Product. C．Mirror. D．Nature.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A．The popularity of a biological treatment.
B．The effectiveness of breathing exercises.
C．The misuse of unproven nerve therapies.
D．The evidence of vagus nerve’s functions.
31. What do Linda Rinaman’s words imply
A．Blood circulation determines our emotions.
B．Physical health is unrelated to mental states.
C．Body and mind interact to form experiences.
D．Our brain stores feelings separate from body.
D
A new study from the University of Cambridge suggests that brief conversations with people we don’t know can improve our well-being more than we expect.
The research, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that people often underestimate how much they’ll enjoy talking to someone they don’t know. This misunderstanding may lead many to avoid such interactions, missing out on chances to feel happier.
Lead author Dr. Mark Bennett and his team carried out a series of experiments involving over 1,800 participants. In one experiment, people on public transport were asked to either start a conversation with a stranger or remain silent during their trip. Before the trip, most participants predicted they’d prefer to keep to themselves. However, after the trip, those who had a conversation reported a more positive experience than they’d expected.
In another experiment, conducted in a waiting room, participants were given similar instructions. Again, those who engaged in brief conversations with others felt more connected and satisfied than those who sat alone. The researchers noted that even short exchanges, such as a few words about the weather or a shared experience, produced meaningful benefits.
Dr. Bennett explained the findings: “People are often worried that strangers may not be interested in talking. But in reality, most people are more open to conversation than we think. A simple greeting or comment can lead to a pleasant exchange that brightens both parties’ day.”
The study also examined how people’s expectations influence their behavior. Many participants reported that they’d avoided talking to strangers before because they assumed the experience would be awkward or uncomfortable. The results suggest these fears are largely without good reason.
Co-author Professor Sarah Chen noted the wider meaning of the research: “In an age where people spend much time looking at phones, we may be losing opportunities for these small but valuable social connections. Our study shows that reaching out to others, even briefly, can be a simple way to improve mood and strengthen social bonds.”
The research team hopes the findings will encourage people to step outside their comfort zone. Dr. Bennett added, ” The next time you find yourself next to a stranger, consider saying hello. The chances are that both of you will feel better for it.”
32. What is a finding of the research
A．People seldom find happiness in social interactions.
B．People might prefer deep conversations to brief exchanges.
C．People usually choose to be alone because they enjoy silence.
D．People may avoid talking to strangers due to mistaken beliefs.
33. What can be learned from the experiment on public transport
A．Silence provided more comfort.
B．Interaction exceeded the anticipated joy.
C．Predictions matched the actual outcomes.
D．Communication skills mattered a lot.
34. What did Dr. Bennett say about a simple greeting
A．It is easier said than done for most people.
B．It works best when people are in a waiting room.
C．It can create a positive interaction for both sides.
D．It is less effective than a comment about the weather.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Staying Connected with Friends Matters
B．The Mystery Behind People’s Silence in Public
C．Small Talk with Strangers Can Bring Great Benefits
D．The Rise of Phone Use Affects How We Communicate
七选五
Have you ever had a day during exam preparation when you sat down to concentrate ___36___ I’ve been there too. And the most important lessons I learned didn’t come from books — they came from understanding how to protect my mindset. If you’re preparing for a competitive exam, here are three things you must keep private until you succeed.
Never Share Your Goals
Many students loudly announce their targets — what score they want, or which rank they dream of. But sharing your goals weakens the inner tension that pushes you to work harder. Before you talk about them, your goals create a kind of inner fire — stress, urgency, and hunger. The moment you announce them, that fire drops. ___37___ That temporary high makes you feel as if you’ve already achieved something, reducing the hunger that actually leads to achievement.
Never Share Your Progress
___38___ When someone asks, just say, “It’s going on.” Revealing your progress harms you. Once you share it, people immediately start judging or suggesting changes: “Use this book.” “Follow my timetable.” You begin doubting your own strategy, even if it was working well. There’s no perfect plan — only consistent efforts.
Don’t Share Your Fears With Companions
Every student carries silent struggles — family pressure, financial stress, emotional pain. Sharing your fears with another student rarely helps because they are already overwhelmed by their own worries. ___39___ Talk instead to a mentor, a trusted family member, or write privately.
Your exam preparation is a personal journey. Protect your focus. ___40___. The calmer you stay, the better your exam results will be.
A．Let silence work for you.
B．Exam pressure can help you stay focused.
C．Don’t mention how much revision you’ve done.
D．You will receive instant praise that gives you a burst of excitement.
E．Keeping your goals to yourself is one of the best ways to stay motivated.
F．Your books were open, your notes were ready, yet your mind was wandering.
G．They can’t offer the emotional support, and oversharing often leads to regret.
36.___ 37.___ 38.___ 39.___ 40.___
三、完形填空
My adventure into rock climbing originated from an online connection. For years, I’d been ___41___ about the sport but never got a real chance to try it. On a specialized outdoor platform, I met Octavia — a skilled climber with years of hands-on expertise.

Eagerness welled up in me to meet her and witness her genuine ___44___ for climbing.
Octavia had carefully ___45___ a beginner-tailored route, ___46___ ensuring proper challenges while allowing small encouraging wins. My initial deep ___47___ over safety disappeared as she patiently explained the equipment’s key ___48___ aspects with clear examples.
Under her guidance, each secure foothold and firm handhold ___49___ my growing resolve. Her constant sincere encouragement, like a reliable safety net, ___50___ my confidence unexpectedly — and ___51___ a long-buried childlike enthusiasm for bold adventure.
My first climb, weariness spread through my body, but it was gently ___52___ by the unique excitement of achievement. As minutes passed, heavy tiredness ___53___, and my energy gradually returned. Octavia’s kind encouragement became my core ___54___ to keep returning to climbing.
Rock climbing proved to be a dynamic integration of physical strength and mental ___55___. I learned to tackle problems step by step, and the warm support and true friendship we formed were an unexpected precious bonus.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
When asked about China’s high-speed railway, Paul O’Sullivan, a North American educator who has lived in China for many years, responds ___56___ genuine enthusiasm. “If most foreigners spend two weeks here and ___57___ (actual) take a bullet train, then they’ll see!” he says. Over the past few years, Paul ___58___ (fascinate) by the country’s modern infrastructure, particularly its convenient transportation network.
In the United States, ___59___ a lack of high-speed rail forces him to drive up to ten hours a day when ___60___ (travel) across states, Paul finds China’s solution almost miraculous — a two-hour bullet train ride gets him exactly where he needs to go, ___61___ for shorter trips he can easily book a ride with Didi as well. What surprised him is that the cost of living here, which he had initially feared might be a financial burden, ___62___ (be) far more affordable than he ever expected it to be.
Now ___63___ (root) in Suzhou, Paul enjoys the city’s balance between cutting-edge infrastructure and reasonably priced daily life. Part of the reason lies in Suzhou’s ___64___ (close) to Shanghai. With seamless (无缝的) high-speed rail and an international airport, the city provides an ideal environment for both work and travel.

I bought hiking shoes when my heart was broken, hoping that hiking along the Lycian Way on the southwest coast of Türkiye would reset the pieces inside me. I asked my friend Masha to join me, and as the two of us started out from Patara, I felt at ease and ready to go.
After a rainless summer, the ground was baked dry and dotted with tough bushes. Color came from the pines bursting out of rocks and the wild berries ripening on path-side trees. Occasionally,one or two little squirrels were seen running about on the branches. The red waymarks painted on stones were the only thing guiding inexperienced hikers like us through this labyrinth (迷宫) of wild coastline. As we climbed uphill, I could see the winding path behind us like a kite tail.
Masha and I talked and laughed as we hiked. But after hours of walking, the route became more difficult. Our muscles ached, and our feet blistered. Suddenly, we realized that we had lost sight of the waymarks. Our simple map pointed us toward a thorn-encrusted (布满荆棘的) hill, but we pushed on.
Everything that was so charming before now seemed determined to break us. I fought off the forest with my body, sacrificing my skin to move aside the spiky plants that blocked me. I didn’t want to admit to myself or to Masha that we were on the wrong path.
Every step was a cruel reminder of our mistakes. The same trail (小径) that had made me feel a sense of victory on the way up now seemed to be laughing at us with its thorns and loose stones.My legs trembled with tiredness, and the scratches on my arms hurt with each movement. Masha walked silently beside me, and the absence of our earlier laughter weighed heavily between us. I wanted to apologize, to say that pushing forward had been my idea, my stubbornness (固执), but the words stuck in my throat like the dust coating our skin.
Suddenly, Masha brushed away the dust on a stone and a mark appeared.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Following the marks, we stepped onto the right trail.

Dear editor,
I’m writing to share my concern about the improper use of our school’s table tennis courts.
Now many students occupy the courts hours in advance just to play ping-pong, leaving no space for others who come later. This unfair behavior causes complaints among classmates.
I call on all students to use the courts in turn. We can take turns or set fixed time limits so everyone gets a chance to exercise. Let’s create a harmonious campus environment together.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
读后续写范文
Suddenly, Masha brushed away the dust on a stone and a mark appeared. A bright red symbol stood clear under the dirt, proving we were not totally lost. Excitement flashed across Masha’s face, while shame flooded me. I lowered my head and apologized sincerely for my stubbornness that had dragged us into such a tough mess. Masha smiled softly and forgave me, saying she also should have stopped me earlier.
Following the marks, we stepped onto the right trail. The thorny hills were left behind, replaced by soft grass and blooming wild flowers. The heavy tiredness faded little by little as we walked side by side, chatting and laughing again. That tough wrong path taught me a valuable lesson: stubbornness only brings trouble, and admitting mistakes is the first step to moving forward. This unforgettable hiking experience healed my broken heart and strengthened our friendship.
