五、阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
Run Like Horses to Chase Dreams
The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala has a cool theme——“qijichicheng, shibukedang” (Horses run fast. Nothing can stop us). For us students, this theme is not just fun. It teaches us about courage and hard work.
1 Qiji stands for fine horses, so the theme is full of positive energy. The Gala even uses horse-shaped stage designs and lively horse-themed dance shows to bring this theme to life on screen. There are also songs about chasing dreams with horse metaphors(隐喻), sung by popular singers. 2
First, horses keep running non-stop. 3 Just like the horses in the Gala's performances, we need to keep going even when things get hard. Second, the “unstoppable” spirit pushes us to follow our dreams bravely, whether we love sport, art or science. 4 We need to help our classmates, just like horses running side by side in the Gala's dance.
In short, the Gala's theme is more than a new year wish. It tells us teens to be active and keep going forward. 5 It also reminds us that we can grow stronger and better if we hold on to our goals. Let's run like brave horses this new year, just as the 2026 Spring Festival Gala inspires us to do, and step closer to our dreams!

A Chinese Rider’s Dream Comes True
On March 28, 2026, exciting news came from the WSBK race at Algarve International Track in Portugal. A French rider, on a Zhang Xue 820RR-RS motorcycle, crossed the finish line and won first place. He beat the second rider by nearly 4 seconds, and won another champion in the second round even after a mistake, and pulled off a great comeback. This win broke the long-term monopoly(垄断) of big international brands like Ducati, and let Chinese motorcycles step on the world’s top racing stage.
The man behind this success is 39-year-old Zhang Xue. His story is not only a grass-roots legend but also a symbol of China’s manufacturing development. Zhang was born in a poor village in Huaihua, Hunan. His parents divorced when he was young, and he once made a living by collecting recyclables. At 14, he left school and became a learner in a motorcycle repair shop. With his deep love for motorcycles, he could even put an engine together with his eyes closed.
At 19, he rode over 100 kilometres in the rain to catch up with a TV programme team, just to get a chance to be noticed by a racing team. Later, he became a stunt rider(特技车手). Knowing his own limits, he turned to making motorcycles. He went to Chongqing with only 20,000 yuan to build and sell motorcycles, set up his first brand, and even left his company because he insisted on self-developing engines. In 2024, he started a new brand named after himself. Finally, his fully Chinese-made bike made history in 2026.

()2. What did Zhang Xue do at the age of 14?

D. He took part in a world racing competition.
()3. What does the underlined word “comeback” in Paragraph 1 probably mean in Chinese?
A. 逆转翻盘 B. 回归赛场 C. 退出比赛 D. 再次失误
()4. What can we learn from Zhang Xue’s story?
A. It is easy to make a successful motorcycle.
B. Only rich people can realize their racing dreams.
C. Keeping working for your dream can lead to success.
D. Self-developing engines are useless for motorcycle makers.
