(為了準備飛行，在過去的兩個月里，她每天步行3000步，并移動手臂以滿足高空飛行的要求。)”可知，苗曉紅在高齡時決定重返藍天，這需要極大的決心和毅力。她不僅堅持鍛煉以達到高空飛行的要求，還表示飛行是為了享受，而非僅僅完成任務。她也表達了鼓勵年輕女性加入航空業的愿望，顯示了她的堅定意志和對理想的追求。由此可推知，苗曉紅是一個意志力堅強的人。故選D。【7題詳解】主旨大意題。根據第一段的“AChinesefemalepilothassetarecordinthecountry’sairlineindustryafterflyingasmallplanefor40minutesinBeijing.MiaoXiaohong,oneofChina'ssecondbatch(一批)offemalepilots,controlledtheTecnamP2010planetotakeoff,turn,climb,diveandlandsafelyattheShifosiAirportinPingguDistrictofBeijing.(一名中國女飛行員在北京駕駛一架小型飛機飛行40分鐘，創造了中國航空業的紀錄。中國第二批女飛行員苗曉紅在北京平谷區石佛寺機場駕駛TecnamP2010飛機安全起飛、轉彎、爬升、俯沖和降落。)”以及全文可知，文章講述了苗曉紅作為中國第二批女飛行員之一，在退休多年后，受國外老年飛行員的啟發，重新開始飛行，實現了重返藍天的夢想。她不僅展現了個人的決心和勇氣，還希望能夠激勵更多的年輕人，尤其是女性，投身航空行業。所以“重返藍天”適合作本文的標題。故選A。五、（天津市第一百中學等校聯考20242025學年高三上學期期中）完形填空Duringmyengineering,afewofmyclassmatesandIusedtotravelinthesamebustoourcollege.Graduallywehadthis____31____ofeatingstreetfoodeverydaywhilewaitingforthebusintheevening.Wewereallpoorstudentsthenandusuallyhadless___32___moneybutwestillspentwithoutthinking.Therewasoneclassmate,Askin,whohardlyspentmoneyandalways____33____tellingusnottowastemoney.Iunderstoodhisthoughtbutmyfriendsdidn’t,andstarted____34____andmocking(嘲弄)himandmadehimfeel____35____bygivinghima____36____“Shylock”,themean(吝嗇鬼)miserinShakespeare’splayTheMerchantofVenice.Ireallyfeltbadforhimandoften___37___tothem,“Maybethereisareasonforhimto___38___money.”However,theystillmockedhim.Soatthebeginninghefeltbadbutlaterhedecidednottotakeit____39____.Buttheythoughthewas____40____——eventhoughpeopleweremockinghimstillhedidn’tchange.Howeverlatereveryonechangedtheir____41____ofhim.Itwasonafinedaywhenthedadofoneofmyclassmateswasin____42____conditionandneededtobetakentohospitalimmediately,so_____43_____wasnecessary.Wehadnomoneybutitwasthe“Shylock”whohelpedhim____44____bypayingthehospitalfee.Heoncehelpedoneclassmatewhowas_____45_____testfees.Hegavehimmoneyfromhisscholarship.Allmyremainingfriendswerenotabletoshowtheir____46____tohimbecauseofshamebutIwenttohimandsaidsorryonbehalfofeveryone.Hesaid,“Thanks!There'snoneedto____47____.Wearefriendsbutthereisalways_____48_____betweenus.AnywayI'mmoreinterestedin‘giving’thanspending_____49_____moneynomatterwhatpeople_____50_____me.”31.A.possibility
