When a Chinese motorcycle brand achieved a double victory in the World Supersport (WorldSSP) Championship in
Portugal, it marked more than just a racing success. Behind the achievement stood Zhang Xue, whose journey from hardship to
innovation reflects determination, courage and long-term vision.
Zhang grew up in a poor family, living in a damaged house with a leaking roof after his parents separated. At 14, his life
changed when he first saw a motorcycle. Fascinated by the machine, he left school and became an apprentice in a repair shop.
Instead of textbooks, his days were filled with tools, oil and long hours of practice, during which he gradually built both skills
and confidence. These early experiences laid a solid foundation for his later career.
A turning point came in 2006 when he contacted a local TV station to show his motorcycle stunts (特技). After repeated
failures, the crew decided to leave. Unwilling to give up, Zhang rode more than 100 kilometers in the rain to find them again.
Moved by his determination, they gave him another chance, which helped him begin a professional racing career and gain
wider recognition. This experience also strengthened his belief in persistence.
Years later, Zhang showed the same courage in business. In 2013, he moved to Chongqing with limited savings and started
selling modified motorcycles online. In 2017, he co-founded a company that quickly expanded and became the first Chinese
team to complete the Dakar Rally. In 2024, he founded ZX Moto to compete with established international brands, aiming to
bring Chinese technology onto the global stage and win global recognition.
For Zhang, racing victories are not just personal achievements. They represent growing confidence in China’s ability to
compete in high-performance industries and show how persistence and long-term effort can lead to meaningful success.
4. What did Zhang gain from his early experience in the repair shop
A. Guidance from experienced workers.
B. The foundation for his future career.
C. A strong interest in racing competitions.
D. Opportunities to join professional teams.
5. What marked a turning point in Zhang’s life
A. His commitment to motorcycle repair.
B. His attempts to demonstrate riding skills.
C. His effort to impress motorcycle fans.
D. His initiative to seek a broader platform.
6. Which of the following best describes Zhang’s character
A. Creative and fun-loving. B. Generous and easy-going.
C. Strong-willed and persistent. D. Careful and risk-avoiding.
7. What can be inferred from Zhang’s story
A. How young racers steadily improve their riding skills.
B. How personal effort contributes to industrial progress.
C. Why technical innovation is necessary for a new brand.
D. Why international motorcycle racing competitions matter.
C
Inspired by the thunderous footsteps of the huge dinosaur in Jurassic Park, a German startup called IMENSUS has
designed a rover (探测车) that could change the way we explore the Moon. The rover generates seismic (地震的) waves that
travel deep into the ground, creating artificial quakes to map what lies beneath. “We’re shaking the ground,” said David Frey,
head of engineering.
On Earth, this technology helps mining companies locate valuable materials such as copper and gold. Seismic waves slow
down when passing through dense, mineral-rich rocks. By measuring wave speeds with surface sensors, prospectors can
identify underground resources without digging. But Frey believes the real potential lies beyond our planet. As space agencies
set their sights on the Moon, accessing local resources — such as ice at the lunar South Pole and regolith (月 壤 ) for
construction — will be essential. “Everyone’s just thinking, ‘Let’s go, dig, and use the material.’ But there might be a huge
rock underneath. You want to know this before you go, because it’s super expensive,” Frey explained.
Unlike past scientific missions that relied on unpredictable natural moonquakes, this method would let the rover generate
controlled seismic events on demand. Lunar seismologist Dr. Nicholas Schmerr from the University of Maryland noted that
such seismic sounding can effectively locate structures within the top kilometer of the subsurface, including lava tubes or
buried ices.
However, Schmerr also warned that extreme temperatures, solar radiation, and sharp, rough regolith on the Moon could
easily destroy machinery. While IMENSUS’s Earth-based pilot phase is set to begin in 2027, applying the same technology on
the Moon will require careful engineering to ensure survival in such harsh conditions.
Still, both experts agree that seismic exploration will be vital for future lunar missions. Whether IMENSUS’s concept
reaches the Moon depends on the progress of programs like NASA’s Artemis. But as Frey sees it, the same technology could
one day be used on Mars or even asteroids. One thing is certain: if humans are to build a lasting presence beyond Earth, we
must first understand what lies beneath the surface.
8. How does the seismic technology find the underground mines
A. By creating artificial earth quakes. B. By helping to search for mines.
C. By surveying underground wave speeds. D. By identifying resources without digging.
9. What is the advantage of the new seismic method
A. It helps to avoid huge rocks beneath. B. It works like natural moon quakes.
C. It creates moon quakes as needed. D. It locates subsurface structures.
10. What does the underlined word “harsh” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Severe. B. Silent. C. Freezing. D. Flat.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Seismic waves on the Moon. B. A new way to explore the Moon.
C. Challenges of living on the Moon. D. Building an operational lunar base.
D
Exhaust gases (废气) from home fireplaces and industrial facilities release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air. Scientists
have developed a new type of electrode designed to address this problem by capturing (捕捉) CO2 directly from the air and
turning it into a useful chemical called formic acid.
Pulling carbon dioxide out of the air may seem straightforward, especially since plants do it naturally. A great problem lies
in transforming that caught gas into something useful. In real industrial exhaust, CO2 is usually mixed with other gases,
including nitrogen (氮气) and oxygen. Most existing conversion (转化) systems only work efficiently when carbon dioxide has
already been separated and concentrated, which limits their practicality.
To overcome this obstacle, scientists set out to build a system that could operate under realistic conditions. The research
team designed an electrode that allows gas to pass through it, trap carbon dioxide, and convert it at the same time. The device is
made up of three layers, one of which captures CO2. Together, these components enable the direct conversion of carbon dioxide
gas into formic acid.
Formic acid is an important chemical used in a range of applications, including fuel cells and other industrial processes.
Producing it directly from exhaust gases could make carbon reuse more practical and cost effective. When tested with pure CO2
gas, the new electrode showed about 40% higher efficiency than existing carbon conversion electrodes. The advantage became
even clearer when researchers used a gas containing 15% CO2, 8% oxygen gas, and 77% nitrogen gas.
The electrode also proved capable of capturing carbon dioxide at concentrations similar to those found in the atmosphere,
showing that it can function in normal air. According to the researchers, this approach offers a promising path towards
integrating carbon capture into real industrial applications. They also suggest that similar designs could eventually be adapted
to capture and convert other greenhouse gases.
12. Why are the existing conversion systems impractical
A. They are hard to transform CO2 into useful things.
B. They need CO2 separated and concentrated first.
C. They are hard to trap and transform CO2 respectively.
D. They need CO2 mixed with other exhaust gases.
13. How differently does the new system work
A. It captures CO2 directly from the gas. B. It allows CO2 to pass through and convert.
C. It traps CO2 in the three layers. D. It transforms CO2 into formic acid.
14. What can we know about the new technology from last paragraph
A. It requires stronger policy backing. B. It constitutes an early-stage solution.
C. It demands new industrial standards. D. It offers an achievable industrial way.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Who Holds the Key to CO2 Conversion B. Why Handling CO2 Remains a Challenge
C. What if We Could Turn CO2 into Wealth D. Where the Captured CO2 Ultimately Goes

47. 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。
The campus came alive when word spread quickly that the drama competition of this year was to be held the next month.
“Hey, Alex! Ready for this year’s show ” I asked Alex, who was standing in front of the notice board. “I guess I am!”
replied Alex. The instant I offered my invitation to make a team, he nodded with a big OK. We exchanged glances and laughed.
The preparation was in full swing. Every day after school, Alex and I met in the drama room. We revised our script and
shared our ideas about the plots and conflicts. Our drama teacher Ms. May greatly praised our imagination and creativity in the
plot design. Our confidence increased and both of us felt that we would be the most shining stars on the stage.
Everything went well until it came to the ending part of the rehearsal (排演). I insisted on delivering the lines with wild
joy, believing that it was more dramatic. Alex argued a tone of sadness out of desperation would be more powerful and
realistic. We argued for what seemed like ages and the pleasant atmosphere gradually gave way to awkward tension. “You’re
not listening to me!” Alex let out a cry of anger. “Your idea is stupid!” I fought back.
Silence fell. Alex threw down the script and stormed out of the drama room. I stood rooted, feeling a knot (郁结) in my
stomach.
For the next two days, we avoided seeing each other. The play was at a standstill. The final show was only five days away.
My anxiety grew and I came close to giving up. When Ms. May asked how our rehearsal went, I burst into tears. “It’s a total
disaster to team up with Alex…” I poured out all my complaints. Ms. May flashed a comforting smile and patted me on the
shoulder, “Let’s go for a walk in the school garden!”
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。
I followed Ms. May into the school garden.

【答案】Dear Ryan,
As our school life nears its end, our class is scheduled to take a graduation group photo. I’m writing on behalf of my
classmates to invite you to join us.
Your presence means a lot to us. We truly appreciate your professional guidance on our study. In addition, your humor and
passion have turned every lesson into a joyful journey.
So we greatly expect your participation. The shoot is set for 9 a.m. this Friday on the school playground and we would be
happy to have you sit in the front row.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【答案】 I followed Ms. May into the school garden. The warm sunlight filtered through the leaves, and the gentle breeze
calmed my anxious heart. Ms. May pointed to two mutually dependent osmanthus trees beside the path, saying, “Teamwork is
like these two trees — they don’t have to be the same to grow well together. Listening to each other is more important than
winning.” Her words hit me deeply. I realized my stubbornness had hurt Alex and ruined our hard work. I must apologize to
him.
When I went back to the drama room, I saw a familiar figure. It was Alex, who was sitting quietly, revising the script with
a pen in his hand. There were some notes on the ending part, mixing both our ideas. My eyes turned wet. I walked over gently
and said softly, “Alex, I’m sorry. I was too stubborn and didn’t listen to you.” Alex looked up, his anger gone. He smiled and
handed me the script. Together, we polished the ending, and the awkward tension turned back to warm laughter. We knew we
would shine on the stage together.
