A
Shared mobility: Making travel easier for all
In many big cities in Europe and the US, it might seem like we’ve achieved cheap and easy mobility
for everyone — just use your phone to find shared e-bikes and electric cars. But if you’re elderly, living in
a low-income area or imagine without a smartphone or credit card, using these shared services becomes
much more difficult. Here is a survey reporting barriers to using bike sharing.
大庆铁人中学2024级高二年级（下）学期期中考试 第 3 页 共 13 页Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. But to be most
effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on
this, but various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reach underserved communities.
By combining economic support, grassroots innovation, and empathetic (能产生共鸣的) design, these
efforts aim to make mobility available to everyone, reduce reliance on private vehicles, and ensure fair
access for all. “You tend to plan for what you know. That’s why it’s so important to bring in different views in
the development of mobility,” says Lina Mosshammer, founder and CEO of the Austrian mobility consulting
company Point&.
21. What percentage of lower income people express concern on safety in the survey?
A. 24%. B. 27%. C. 42%. D. 88%.
22. Which solution involves the idea of recycling used bikes?
大庆铁人中学2024级高二年级（下）学期期中考试 第 4 页 共 13 页A. Public-Sector Intervention. B. Community-Centric Design.
C. Technology Adaptation. D. Non-Profit Innovation.
23. What does Mosshammer stress to address the challenge?
A. Increasing urban mobility. B. Offering affordable alternatives.
C. Integrating diverse viewpoints. D. Consulting with the users beforehand.
B
On a biting November morning, sixteen-year-old Maya walked along the windswept shoreline of the
Scottish coast as usual. She had walked this path a hundred times, expecting nothing more than the rhythmic
crash of waves and the distant cry of gulls. But today, something was different.
Half-hidden among seaweed-covered rocks lay a dark, motionless young seal. One of its flippers was
cruelly entangled (缠住) in a torn piece of fishing net. Maya’s first instinct was to rush forward. But she
stopped herself. Adult seals, even young ones, could bite when panicked. She crouched low, maintaining a
careful distance, and began speaking in a low, steady murmur — not so much to comfort the seal as to calm
her own racing heart.
Pulling out a small folding knife she always carried on coastal walks, Maya inched closer. The rocks
were slippery, and icy water lapped at her boots. Twice she nearly lost her footing. Her fingers, red and stiff
with cold, struggled with the tangled net. Strand (缕) by stubborn strand, she cut through the nylon rope.
The seal remained still, as if understanding that help had arrived.
After what felt like hours, the last thread fell away. The seal did not dash immediately into the sea. It
lay there for several breaths, and then pushed itself clumsily toward the water. At the edge, it paused. For a
fleeting moment, Maya could have sworn it looked back. Then it slipped beneath the gray waves and was
gone.
Maya sat on a rock, watching the horizon. She didn’t feel heroic. She felt something quieter: the quiet
certainty that she had done exactly what she was supposed to do. Weeks later, during a storm, she found
herself thinking about the little seal, hoping it had found deeper, safer waters.
24. What did Maya expect to encounter during her walk along the shoreline?
A. A wounded sea creature washed ashore.
B. The usual sound of waves and seabirds.
C. An unusual object among the seaweed.
大庆铁人中学2024级高二年级（下）学期期中考试 第 5 页 共 13 页D. A change in the familiar coastal landscape.
25. Why did Maya speak in a low, steady murmur to the seal while approaching?
A. To make the seal relaxed.
B. To keep herself calm.
C. To avoid attracting other animals.
D. To test whether the seal could hear.
26. What can be inferred about the rescue process?
A. The seal was too weak to move.
B. The net was easy to cut quickly.
C. It took patience and self-control.
D. Maya had received professional training.
27. What does the author intend to convey through the last paragraph?
A. First aid is vital for wild animals’ rescue.
B. Seals are fond of living in deeper waters.
C. Kindness to small creatures brings inner peace.
D. Anyone who saves wild animals will be regarded as a hero.
C
Leading museums worldwide are experimenting with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR)
technologies to create new experiences for audiences to engage with art and culture.
To reinvent an interactive experience, museums in China have started using digital humans—computer-
generated 3D images resembling real people—to transform visitors’ encounters with history and culture. In
cooperation with AI companies, Chinese museums have introduced digital humans as tour guides and
ambassadors of tradition.
Ai Wenwen, a digital employee at the National Museum of China, can instantly change outfits, from
modern clothing to Chinese traditional dress, and give guided tours of the museum. To give its digital
employee the appeal of a human celebrity, the National Museum create a song that is presented as if sung
by Ai Wenwen herself.
In addition to museums, digital humans can help bring historical figures to life. The Zhonghua Book
Company has launched a virtual avatar (化身) of Su Shi, a celebrated Chinese poet and statesman. With the
大庆铁人中学2024级高二年级（下）学期期中考试 第 6 页 共 13 页texts about Su Shi’s life and literary work being fed into the virtual avatar, it can respond to real people in a
manner and language resembling this great man in Chinese history. It made its first appearance in a CCTV
youth talent show about Chinese poetry, surprising audiences with its remarkable human likeness.
The virtual avatar had conversations with live audiences about poems Su Shi wrote about 1,000 years
ago. The TV show even presented an episode of the digital version of Su Shi acting with a human who
played his close friend, the great calligrapher Huang Tingjian.
The Su Shi avatar has also become a social media influencer, posting quizzes and educational content
on literature, geography, and customs. Additionally, the company organizes in-person events where students
interact with digital humans to learn history and literature.
Museums and cultural institutions across China have integrated the virtual avatar of Su Shi to create
interactive exhibitions with themes including afternoon tea, poetry and calligraphy. Audiences at these
exhibitions have opportunities to experience the daily life of a renowned poet from the distant past.
28. Why Chinese museums apply digital humans?
A. To reduce the cost of hiring real tour guides. B. To enhance visitors’ cultural experience.
C. To promote latest AR and VR technologies. D. To compete with international museums.
29. What can Ai Wenwen do during tours?
A. Switch clothes in a flash. B. Compose original music.
C. Repair historical artifacts. D. Conduct academic research.
30. How did the Su Shi avatar surprise audiences on TV?
A. By composing poetry on the spot. B. By acting out his close friend vividly.
C. By responding in a human-like way. D. By having a touchable human look.
31. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The End of Human Guides. B. The Making of a Virtual Pop Star.
C. A Digital Bridge to the Past. D. The Role of AI in Cultural Heritage.
D
A single minded, unshakable drive — that’s what it takes to be successful. Be “all in”. Burn the boats
behind us. This idea is everywhere, in self-help books, inspiring advertisements and social media influencers,
all urging us to narrowly define our goals and chase them with an intense passion.
However, research doesn’t endorse this. According to a 15-year survey of more than 5,000 would-be
大庆铁人中学2024级高二年级（下）学期期中考试 第 7 页 共 13 页entrepreneurs, those who kept their day jobs, instead of focusing only on their own project, were 33% less
likely to fail. Researchers looked at athletes and found those who specialize early in one sport tend to be
worse off over the long run than their peers who explored other activities and specialized later.
To be sure: the more we care, and the more our job or pursuit feels like a part of who we are, the harder
we’ll work. That’s helpful to a certain point. But such narrowing comes with a downside. As we set aside
other parts of ourselves, and that one activity becomes an ever bigger presence, fear starts to take over. We
don’t just want to succeed. We have to. Fear of failure rises and moves from “I failed” to “I am a failure”.
When outcomes are all that matter, and winning or losing becomes self-defining, our response isn’t to
become a warrior (勇士). It’s to withdraw.
The secret is to go in a different direction. It’s a lesson professional mountain-biker Kate Courtney had
learnt from her experience. She said, “My superpower is being able to persevere.” And it worked for a while.
But after initial success, at the peak of her athletic career at 25 she felt worn out, and her performance was
going backward. Courtney didn’t do what most athletes do in those moments: double down and work harder.
She eased up.
“When you have a more well-rounded life, it doesn’t distract you as an athlete,” she said. “It makes
you stronger and better. It also enables you to have a clear head when you get the opportunity to line up.”
Now 29, Courtney is currently ranked ninth in the world.
32. What does the underlined word “endorse” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Change. B. Support. C. Explore. D. Explain.
33. What is the negative effect of narrowing your goal?
A. It limits your creative interests. B. It leads you to ignore possible risks.
C. It makes you chase success at any cost. D. It prevents you from facing challenges.
34. Why does the author cite Kate Courtney’s experience?
A. To show the benefits of a well-rounded life.
B. To share her unique way of achieving success.
C. To prove the role of a relaxed mindset in sports.
D. To demonstrate her difficulty in becoming successful.
35. Which of the following can best summarize the author’s idea?
A. There is no fixed path to success. B. “All in” is no recipe for success.
大庆铁人中学2024级高二年级（下）学期期中考试 第 8 页 共 13 页C. Success is open to the determined. D. “All in” guarantees a regret-free life.

Overweight people show a huge lack of self-control. The main reason why people are fat and overweight
is that they lack the discipline to do something productive and of conscious value.
Weight problems can start at a young age and so can the self-esteem issues that go hand in hand with
being heavy. 36
37 It keeps you focused on how bad you are, how worthless you are, and all kinds of negative
thoughts. Researchers at the Pennsylvania State University talked to 197 five-year-old girls and their
families. They wanted to determine how a girl’s weight and her parents’ concern about it affected her self-
esteem. 38 And the lowest levels of self-esteem showed up in overweight girls whose parents
restricted their eating. Not only did the girls believe that they had limited physical ability, but they had lower
opinions of their cognitive skills. From very early on, the appearance is important and it’s a part of self-
evaluation. 39
40 Parents know that it is unhealthy, but just being concerned and restricting the children’s
intake appear to have negative effects. The researchers suggest parents find ways for their daughters to be
more active and offer foods they should eat, rather than stress the ones they shouldn’t.
A．Actually, low self-esteem blocks growth and happiness.
B．It was astonishing to the researchers.
C．As early as the age of five, girls are affected by how others perceive them.
D．Self-esteem is the amount of respect that a person has for himself or herself.
E．There’s much information on social media about childhood obesity.
F．The girls who weighed more were more likely to have a negative self-image.
G．Parents are worried about their girls for the low self-esteem.

The old, wooden box in his grandfather’s attic (阁楼) had always been a mystery to seventeen-year-
old Leo. It was locked, and Grandpa Li never spoke about it. Leo, born and raised in a modern Chinese city,
was more interested in his video games than in old family stories. He found his grandfather’s habits —
reading the newspaper every morning, watching historical documentaries — quietly boring.
One rainy afternoon, while his parents were helping Grandpa Li clean the attic, the box was accidentally
knocked over. The lock broke, and its contents spilled onto the floor. There were no treasures, just a faded
military uniform (军装), a few old black-and-white photographs, and a small, worn-out notebook. Leo
picked up a photo. It showed a young man, who looked strikingly like himself, wearing the uniform and
standing in a war-torn field. It was his grandfather.
Hesitantly, Leo opened the notebook. It was a diary. The entries were short, written in pencil, and
described the harsh conditions and the longing for home. But one sentence was circled repeatedly: “Protecting
our homeland is the duty of every son and daughter.” That evening, Leo gathered his courage and asked his
grandfather about it. Grandpa Li’s eyes grew distant, then soft. He began to tell a story Leo had never heard
— a story of great sacrifice, of young people who left their families to fight for the country’s future, not
knowing if they would ever return. He spoke of his comrades, their dreams, and the land they loved more
than their own lives.
Leo listened, his heart feeling heavy and full at the same time. The history he had found boring in
textbooks suddenly had his grandfather’s face and voice. He thought about his own life, his freedoms, and
the opportunities he often took for granted. They were all built upon the sacrifices of that young man in the
photograph. A profound sense of gratitude and responsibility washed over him. He felt a strong urge to do
大庆铁人中学2024级高二年级（下）学期期中考试 第 12 页 共 13 页something, to honor that legacy, but he didn’t know what a teenager like him could possibly do.
