Riding the brand-new 820RR-RS mdel develped independently by ZX Mt, Debise reached the finish line nearly fur secnds ahead f all ther cmpetitrs. Famus traditinal racing pwerhuses including Ducati, Yamaha and Kawasaki all fell behind. This remarkable achievement is a histric breakthrugh, as ZX Mt has becme the first Chinese mtrcycle brand t claim a champinship title in the wrld-famus WrldSBK cmpetitin. Watching the race live in Chngqing, Zhang Xue, funder f ZX Mt, shared a heartfelt pst n scial media, summarizing his lng and tugh jurney: “When yu stick t a career ut f genuine passin rather than just chasing success, yu will eventually get unexpected rewards.”

His life tk a big turn in 2006. At the age f 19, he tk the initiative t cntact a lcal TV statin, saying he was skilled at mtrcycle stunts (摩托车特技) and hped t be recrded. The TV crew gave up and left after watching him fall dwn many times. Determined nt t lse this rare chance, Zhang rde ver 100 kilmeters in the heavy rain t catch up with the team.

Thanks t this shrt prgram, he signed a cntract with a prfessinal racing team and stepped int the racing circle fficially.
Hwever, cnstant sprts injuries and tight budgets made him realize that he wuld never becme a tp prfessinal racer. He then made a career change. In 2013, he came t Chngqing with nly a small amunt f savings. He sld refitted mtrcycles (改装摩托车) nline t accumulate startup funds. Fur years later, he c-funded Kve Mt. Under his effrts, the brand’s annual sales grew frm 800 units t 30,000 units. After leaving Kve Mt, Zhang set up ZX Mt in Chngqing in April 2024, devting himself fully t this new career.

Scientists at MIT have published a study suggesting that rice seeds can sense the sund f raindrps hitting water. The researchers believe that the seeds use this infrmatin t help them “decide” when t sprut (发芽).
The researchers wanted t make sure that the seeds were respnding t the sund f rain rather than t rainwater itself. Therefre, they fcused n rice seeds, which are usually grwn in water, s that all the seeds wuld be equally wet. Fr the experiment, they placed thusands f rice seeds in shallw pls f water, where all the seeds had enugh water t sprut. Sme pls were kept cmpletely quiet, while thers were hit with falling drps f water t imitate light, medium, r heavy rain.
On average, the seeds expsed t the artificial raindrps spruted abut 30-40% faster than thse kept in quiet pls. The scientists believe that this faster spruting might give the seeds a better chance f surviving. Dr. Nichlas Makris, wh led the study, says, “The energy f the rain sund is enugh t accelerate a seed’s grwth.”
Althugh it may seem strange t think f seeds as “hearing,” sund is simply a frm f vibratin (振动). The researchers believe that the seeds respnd t vibratins in the water caused by falling raindrps, which are much strnger underwater than in the air. Inside the seed cells are tiny, heavy grains called “statliths.” Like snw in a snw glbe, these grains help seeds determine which way is dwn, allwing their rts t grw int the sil and their shts t grw tward the light. When the vibratins frm the water drps reached the seeds, these statliths shk arund inside the seed cells. The scientists think this may have triggered the seeds t sprut earlier.
The researchers believe that sensing the sund f rain may help seeds determine whether they are in a suitable place t grw. Seeds that can detect rain vibratins are prbably clse enugh t the surface t receive misture (水分) and grw tward the light.
8．Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the passage?
A．By presenting a persnal stry.B．By cmparing different viewpints.
C．By referring t a scientific study.D．By raising a practical questin.
9．What did the experiment find abut the seeds expsed t the fake raindrps?
A．They spruted faster indrs than they wuld have in natural rain.
B．They shwed a clear spruting advantage ver thse in silent water.
C．They required mre water t achieve the same spruting speed.
D．They nly spruted faster when the rain was heavy enugh.
10．What des the underlined wrd “triggered” mean?
A．Relieved.B．Activated.C．Liberated.D．Mtivated.
11．What might be the best title f the passage?
A．Rice Seeds Sense the Sund f Rain.B．Rice Seeds Grw Faster in Quiet Pls.
C．Scientists Discver Hw Statliths Wrk.D．Grwing Rice Requires Artificial Raindrps.
In the blink f an eye, artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly entered every walk f life, frm self-driving taxis t sftware that reads X-rays, t virtual assistants that can schedule meetings and draft e-mails. Hwever, will AI displace entire industries as mechanized factries did befre?
Like past wrld-changing tls such as mechanical clth-making machines, AI is set t reshape the wrkplace greatly. But techn-pessimists argue AI’s impact has never been seen befre. Ecnmists estimate AI culd rb 40% f jbs, with machines replacing much skilled human wrk and nte that even remaining jbs may see declining wages due t reduced labr value. Amid these wrries, 2024 Nbel Prize-winning ecnmists Darn Acemglu and Simn Jhnsn advise learning frm David Ricard’s flexible thinking abut the early Industrial Revlutin.
In his wrk Principles f Plitical Ecnmy and Taxatin, ecnmist Ricard initially supprted new spinning machines (纺纱机), believing they wuld prmte prductivity fr all. Thugh hme spinners were displaced, many shifted t weaving (织布). Hwever, technlgy changed everything: ne machine utperfrmed 10-20 handweavers, ending cttage industry. Displaced weavers had n chices as factries created few new jbs, leading t falling wages and scial unrest. Witnessing these cnsequences, Ricard transfrmed his view. His 1821 revised wrk acknwledged that factrs bsting natinal incme might als lead t verppulatin and wrsen labrers’ cnditins.
England eventually learned frm the struggles f handweavers and the wrking class. The gvernment expanded plitical representatin fr industrial cities, passed the 1833 Factry Act t manage child labr, and ended the prtectinist Crn Laws in the 1840s t lwer fd csts.
The histry repeats itself tday. As the AI era appraches, Jhnsn ntes that AI has attracted enrmus talents, similar t the late-1990s Internet bm, but histry — especially the Industrial Revlutin — shws that “new miracle machines d nt guarantee benefits fr mst peple.” With thughtful plicies, AI can avid repeating past mistakes and build an inclusive future. When technlgy is guided by wisdm and respnsibility, it can becme a pwerful tl that lifts peple up, reduces inequality, and brings greater pprtunities t all.
12．Which questin can paragraph 2 answer?
A．Hw might AI reshape the jb market?
B．Why has technlgy replaced human wrk?
C．Wh suffered mst frm the Industrial Revlutin?
D．What did clth-making machines bring t wrkers?
13．Why did David Ricard change his attitude?
A．The clsure f cttage industry.
B．The indifference f the gvernment.
C．The appearance f spinning and weaving.
D．The suffering f wrkers and the sciety.
14．What message des the text intend t cnvey?
A．Every step frward is prgress.
B．Histry is where yu find the future.
C．Technlgy makes the cmplex simple.
D．With great pwer cmes great respnsibility.
15．What might be talked abut fllwing the last paragraph?
A．Details f David Ricard’s theries.B．Plicy examples fr guiding AI.
C．The intrductin f the Internet bm.D．The develpment f AI technlgy.
Finding Yur Own Pace in a High-Speed High Schl
Walking thrugh the hallways, it is easy t feel like yu are falling behind. Yu see classmates finishing advanced math while yu struggle with the basics, r hear friends discussing weekend internships while yu just want t sleep. This cnstant cmparisn creates a silent anxiety knwn as “pace panic.” 16
The first step t vercming this anxiety is recgnizing that everyne has a different timeline. Just because yur best friend mastered the vilin in tw years des nt mean yu are failing if it takes yu fur. 17 Fcusing n yur wn prgress, rather than smene else’s achievements, is the key t mental well-being.
Hwever, stepping ff the cmparisn treadmill is easier said than dne. When yur study grup decides t skip lunch t review fr a chemistry test, the pressure t jin in is immense. 18 Instead f blindly fllwing the crwd, ask yurself, “Is this study methd actually wrking fr me?”
19 Sciety ften tells us that success means getting straight A’s and jining ten clubs. Hwever, success may mean smething different t each persn. Maybe success fr yu this semester is simply maintaining a healthy sleep schedule r finally understanding a difficult physics cncept. Small, persnal victries matter just as much as big awards.
Finally, remember that high schl is a marathn, nt a sprint. 20 By prtecting yur mental energy and trusting yur wn path, yu will find that yu nt nly survive high schl but actually enjy the jurney.
A．Burnut is a real risk.
B．It is als imprtant t define success in yur wn way.
C．Here is hw t find a rhythm that truly wrks fr yu.
D．Grwth cannt be rushed r measured by the same clck.
E．At such mments, it may seem natural t cpy their habits.
F．Therefre, fllwing successful students is always the safest chice.
G．Keeping up with thers may require giving up yur persnal interests.

I have just mved and started a new jb. My cmmute invlves taking tw trains — I transfer (换乘) at a statin, switching frm the subway t a cuntry train. The statin I transfer t is in a really rugh area, where cracked cncrete walls are cvered with graffiti, and the smell f cigarettes hangs in the air — even the staff here lk permanently tired.
It was the day befre payday, and I’d just cme ff a night shift. My eyes burned with tiredness as I dragged my feet tward the statin. I thught I had enugh mney n my travel card, but I didn’t. At first, I thught it was a prblem with my card, s I apprached a staff member. Frm the name tag n her chest, I knew her name was Lucy. “Excuse me,” I said, my vice rugh frm the night shift, “I think my card might nt be wrking.”
She lked up frm her paperwrk, her tired eyes sftening as she nticed my messy appearance. “Let me check that fr yu,” Lucy said. Later, Lucy’s eyebrws drew tgether in cncern as she studied the screen. “Yu’re all ut f mney n yur card.” She printed a receipt shwing my tp-up histry (充值记录), usage recrds, and the balance. Sure enugh, the balance read zer. This brught me t the edge f tears, as it meant being stuck in the rugh area fr ver twelve hurs until my paycheck arrived.
“I... I see,” I managed t say. I explained helplessly that I wuldn’t be paid until the next day and needed t get hme t twn. I spke quickly and awkwardly, my wrds all mixed up.
Lucy leaned slightly ver the cunter, and listened t me carefully, like a mther bird bserving a fallen chick. I really wanted t brrw mney frm her, but I felt t embarrassed t ask because I didn’t knw her at all. I guessed she wuldn’t trust a stranger easily — maybe she wuld even laugh at me. Hw disappinted I felt!

46． What Matters Mst t Success: Talent, Effrt r Methds?
Frm my perspective, the three factrs rank as Methds first, Effrt secnd, and Talent last.
A prper methd acts as the right cmpass, saving us frm wasting time n meaningless repeated attempts. Even full devtin can turn int blind til withut a clear, wrkable methd. Talent, thugh a natural advantage, can hardly bring steady prgress if we lack targeted effrt and a scientific path.
With a smart methd guiding cnsistent effrt, even average learners can make steady breakthrughs far beynd their initial limits.
47． Surprisingly, Lucy reached int her wn pcket and handed me her staff card. “Here,” she said, her vice filled with warmth. “This will cver yur fare. Just return it whenever yu can. I knw yu must be desperate t get hme after that lng night shift.” I was cmpletely taken aback by her selfless act. Overwhelmed with gratitude, I stammered, “I can't thank yu enugh. Yu've truly saved me tday. I'll return it as sn as pssible.” She patted my arm reassuringly and said, “N rush. Safe jurney.” With a heavy heart full f thanks, I tk the card and made my way t the train.
The next day, I brught hmemade ckies t Lucy. As I handed her the bx, I said, “Lucy, these are a small tken f my appreciatin fr yur kindness. Yu really helped me ut f a tight spt.” She pened the bx, her face lighting up. “These lk amazing! Thank yu s much. It was nthing, really.” We chatted fr a mment, and I tld her hw her gesture had made me realize the pwer f kindness. Frm then n, I was determined t pay it frward, just as she had dne fr me.
