真题示例
Passage A(2025年云南中考真题)
Wang Zizhong, a 78-year-old farmer from Ciyu village in Shandong, has devoted the past 42 years of his life to greening mountains and protecting forests with his family.
In 1983, Wang Zizhong saw the poor hills to the north of Ciyu and started thinking about planting trees on them. The serious soil erosion (土壤侵蚀) on the mountains had greatly influenced the lives of the villagers.
He left his job as a teacher, rented the land from the local government and took on the task of greening the poor hills. He led his family up the mountains and began the arduous journey of planting trees.
At that time, he and his wife left their two teenage sons in the cave while the couple dug holes for the trees. There were no roads, so Wang had to carry tree seedlings and water on his shoulder and walk kilometers to the mountains. The water he carried each time could only water seven or eight trees. So he had to make many trips every day.
The family would stay on the mountains for over a month at a time. They slept in the cave, ate pancakes and drank mountain stream water.
In 1997, Wang’s wife passed away suddenly from a heart attack while she was on the mountains. However, Wang didn’t give up. He continued to live and work on the mountains, planting trees.
As Wang grew older, he passed on the task of forest protection to his son. Influenced by his father, Wang Tao took over the job and worked hard every day to carry on the family’s work. Over 42 years, the Wang family has planted over 200,000 trees, covering more than 133 hectares.
Their efforts have turned the poor mountains into green forests, leaving a “green treasure” for future and showing that the idea of green development is increasingly taking root in people’s hearts.
1.Why did Wang Zizhong decide to plant trees?
A.He wanted to improve local life.
B.He hoped to make more money.
C.It was a good way to keep himself busy.
D.The government called on people to do so.
2.What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Educational. B.Difficult. C.Interesting. D.Boring.
3.What did Wang Zizhong do after his wife’s death?
A.He greened the hills as usual.
B.He suffered from a serious disease.
C.He chose to stay on the mountains alone.
D.He let his son continue his work at once.
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The harm of soil erosion to a village.
B.A villager’s teaching career and later life.
C.The road to forest protection in Ciyu village.
D.A family’s long-term efforts to green mountains.
长难句解析
原句:(最后一段第一句)Their efforts have turned the poor mountains into green forests, leaving a “green treasure” for future and showing that the idea of green development is increasingly taking root in people’s hearts.
译文:他们的努力让荒山变成了郁郁葱葱的森林,为未来留下了一份 “绿色财富”,也彰显出绿色发展理念正日益在人们心中扎根。
分析:主句为 “Their efforts have turned the poor mountains into green forests”(他们的努力将荒山变成了绿色森林),使用 “turn...into...” 结构体现变化的结果。
现在分词短语 “leaving a ‘green treasure’ for future” 和 “showing that...hearts” 作伴随状语,补充说明 “将荒山变森林” 带来的两个结果:一是为未来留下 “绿色财富”;二是表明绿色发展理念日益深入人心。
第二个分词短语中包含宾语从句 “that the idea...hearts”,其中 “taking root in”(扎根于)生动形象地描述了绿色发展理念被人们接受的过程。
译文
来自山东慈峪村的 78 岁农民王子忠,在过去 42 年里和家人一起投身于荒山绿化与森林保护事业。
1983 年,王子忠看到慈峪村北面的荒山,便开始琢磨在山上种树。山上严重的土壤侵蚀极大地影响了村民的生活。
他辞去了教师的工作,从当地政府租下这片土地,承担起绿化荒山的任务。他带领家人上山,开启了艰辛的种树之路。
那时候,他和妻子把两个十几岁的儿子留在山洞里,夫妻俩则忙着挖树坑。山上没有路,王子忠不得不肩扛树苗和水,步行几公里上山。他每次带的水只能浇七八棵树,所以每天都要往返很多趟。
这家人一次在山上要住一个多月,他们睡在山洞里,吃着煎饼,喝着山涧里的水。
1997 年,王子忠的妻子在山上时突发心脏病去世。然而,王子忠没有放弃,他继续在山上生活、劳作,坚持种树。
随着年龄增长,王子忠把护林的任务交给了儿子。受父亲影响,王涛接下了这份工作,每天辛勤劳作,延续着家里的事业。42 年来,王家共种植了 20 多万棵树,覆盖面积超过 133 公顷。
他们的努力让荒山变成了郁郁葱葱的森林,为未来留下了一份 “绿色财富”,也彰显出绿色发展理念正日益在人们心中扎根。

Passage A
(2025·山东济宁·二模)The ancient silk road was a once-in-a-lifetime journey. It was one of the most important milestones (里程碑) of trade and culture in world history, and the pioneer, Zhang Qian, could not be easily forgotten by history. He was an excellent diplomat (外交家), traveler and explorer (探险家) in the Han Dynasty of China, remembered as “the first Chinese to open their eyes to see the world” and “the Columbus (哥伦布) of the east”.
In 138 BC, Zhang Qian was sent to the west of China for an alliance with the Yue-zhi people to fight against the Xiongnu. He started his trip from Chang’an to Longxi. But unluckily, Zhang was caught by the Xiongnu people just as he left Han, and was held prisoner (囚犯) for ten years.
Zhang finally managed to run away with some of his men and continued to travel west. When Zhang at last reached the Yue-zhi in Northern India, he was disappointed to find that they didn’t want to fight against the Xiongnu people. On the return journey, Zhang Qian and his men were again caught. It was not until 125 BC that they returned to Chang’an.
Though Zhang hadn’t finished his task, he brought back first-hand information about Central Asia. The roads Zhang Qian opened up later served as the important ways connecting Europe, the Middle East, Mesopotamia, Central Asia, and East Asia. Commodities (商品) have been transported by traders along these ways, which have been known as the “Silk Road” since the 19th century. Zhang Qian has been remembered as the great explorer that opened up a new period of cultural exchange between East and West.

Passage C
This year marks the 130th anniversary (周年) of Xu Beihong’s birth. Born in 1895 in Jiangsu province, Xu was one of the “fathers of modern Chinese art”.
Xu started learning Chinese painting when he was 9 years old. In 1919, he went to Paris to study sketching (素描) and learned about Western art. He worked hard to mix Chinese and Western art styles. In one of his famous works, Three Horses, Xu put together traditional Chinese coloring skills with Western realism (现实主义) to paint three strong horses standing under a big tree. After returning to China in 1927, Xu set up the National Central University Art Department.
While Xu was best known for painting horses, he also painted other animals, people and important historical scenes. Many of his animal paintings have deeper meanings. In Meeting of Forces in Tokyo (《会师东京》), painted in 1943, the artist shows a group of lions that stand for China and other countries fighting against fascism (法西斯). In the background, a rising red sun shows Xu’s strong belief in winning the World Anti-Fascist War.
Besides being a painter, Xu was also an art educator. He wanted his students to be creative and love beauty. During his time as director of the National Central University Art Department, he set up many new courses such as sketching, oil painting and art theory (理论). Xu not only improved Chinese painting but also helped build the Chinese modern art education system, said The Paper.

Passage D
Most architects (建筑师) hope to add to the character of a city, but Ieoh Ming Pei, one of the world’s best known architects, designs many iconic (符号的) buildings in cities around the world. The JFK President Library in Boston, US (1979), the Louvre Pyramid in Paris (1989), the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong (1990) and the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar (2008), are just a few of his many creations.
The man behind these landmark buildings died on May 16, at age 102.
Pei once noted that a typical style of design “is of no help to an architect”. Instead, he was known for his eclectic (兼收并蓄的) style, bringing together seemingly opposite ideas into each design— East and West, ancient and modem, natural and man-made.
This may come from his education. Born and raised in China, he went to the US to study architecture at 18. He studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then completed his Master of Arts study at Harvard. “I’ve never left China,” the Chinese-American Pei once told The Financial Times. “My family’s been there for 600 years.” Pei tried to include local and historical ideas in his designs. When designing the Suzhou Museum in the 2000s, he took new ideas from the city’s beautiful classical gardens. Instead of building a giant to overshadow (使……失色) them, Pei built small halls with traditional white walls and dark roofs, in the style of other gardens.
Besides matching his design to the local surroundings, Pei also thought that light was a key factor in creating a lively atmosphere (氛围). He cares a lot about sunshine in his designs.
The glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum in Paris is a good example. It doesn’t hide the buildings around it. Instead, it reflects (映照) them in the sunlight. It also serves as a huge window, letting sunlight into the museum. Today, many people visit the Louvre and take photos of the pyramid.
In the end, what Pei valued most in architecture, he said, was that the buildings could “stand the test of time” . As The New York Times sums up, he didn’t just want to solve problems but also to produce “an architecture of ideas”.
1.According to the passage, which is Ieoh Ming Pei’s design?
①the Suzhou Museum ②the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong
③the Louvre Museum in Paris ④the JFK President Library in Boston
A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①③④ D.①②④
2.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Pei’s historical ideas. B.Pei’s western ideas.
C.Pei’s modern style. D.Pei’s eclectic style.
3.Which of the following descriptions about Pei’s designs is NOT right?
A.Pei is good at putting different ideas into his designs.
B.Pei designed the Suzhou Museum in a Western style.
C.The buildings Pei designed have a lasting value.
D.The buildings Pei designed are a good match for the surroundings.
4.What does the sentence “stand the test of time” in Paragraph 7 mean?
A.Buildings should be built with the most expensive materials.
B.Buildings should be designed to be taller than others.
C.Buildings should be able to last long and remain significant.
D.Buildings should be decorated with the most fashionable things.
Passage E
请阅读全文,并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。
Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. 1 But there’s one person in China who is called the “teacher of teachers”.
He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi. Last year marked the 130 anniversary of his birth. People in different parts of China memorize Tao by visiting his memorial halls or holding meetings to think back on his thoughts on education.
Born in Anhui province, China, 1891, Tao studied at Columbia University, the US, in 1914. 2 But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly copy Dewey’s education method or theories. For Tao, education is an active process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and being told. He encouraged “unity of teaching, learning, and reflective acting”.
3 After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy (文盲) in China went beyond 70 percent. 4 To deal with the lack of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal college (晓庄师范学院) in the northern suburbs of Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at rural schools.
5 He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offered free education to refugee (避难) children after the Japanese invasion of China began in 1937.
Maybe Tao’s moto is the best explanation for his life, “Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return,not even a leaf of grass.”
A.There he studied educational philosophy under the guidance of John Dewey, an American philosopher and educational reformer (改革家).
B.Even during the anti-Japanese war, Tao never forgot his dream.
C.To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working.
D.They are tasked with the mission to spread knowledge ideas and truth.
E.On the voyage of life, he lit the light of hope for everyone.
F.Apart from reforming (改革) education methods, Tao also tried his best to promote the education for ordinary people.

真题示例
Passage A(2025年云南中考真题)
Wang Zizhong, a 78-year-old farmer from Ciyu village in Shandong, has devoted the past 42 years of his life to greening mountains and protecting forests with his family.
In 1983, Wang Zizhong saw the poor hills to the north of Ciyu and started thinking about planting trees on them. The serious soil erosion (土壤侵蚀) on the mountains had greatly influenced the lives of the villagers.
He left his job as a teacher, rented the land from the local government and took on the task of greening the poor hills. He led his family up the mountains and began the arduous journey of planting trees.
At that time, he and his wife left their two teenage sons in the cave while the couple dug holes for the trees. There were no roads, so Wang had to carry tree seedlings and water on his shoulder and walk kilometers to the mountains. The water he carried each time could only water seven or eight trees. So he had to make many trips every day.
The family would stay on the mountains for over a month at a time. They slept in the cave, ate pancakes and drank mountain stream water.
In 1997, Wang’s wife passed away suddenly from a heart attack while she was on the mountains. However, Wang didn’t give up. He continued to live and work on the mountains, planting trees.
As Wang grew older, he passed on the task of forest protection to his son. Influenced by his father, Wang Tao took over the job and worked hard every day to carry on the family’s work. Over 42 years, the Wang family has planted over 200,000 trees, covering more than 133 hectares.
Their efforts have turned the poor mountains into green forests, leaving a “green treasure” for future and showing that the idea of green development is increasingly taking root in people’s hearts.
1.Why did Wang Zizhong decide to plant trees?
A.He wanted to improve local life.
B.He hoped to make more money.
C.It was a good way to keep himself busy.
D.The government called on people to do so.
2.What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Educational. B.Difficult. C.Interesting. D.Boring.
3.What did Wang Zizhong do after his wife’s death?
A.He greened the hills as usual.
B.He suffered from a serious disease.
C.He chose to stay on the mountains alone.
D.He let his son continue his work at once.
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The harm of soil erosion to a village.
B.A villager’s teaching career and later life.
C.The road to forest protection in Ciyu village.
D.A family’s long-term efforts to green mountains.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.A 4.D
【导语】本文讲述了山东慈峪村78岁农民王子忠,42年来带领家人绿化荒山、保护森林的故事。
1.细节理解题。根据“The serious soil erosion (土壤侵蚀) on the mountains had greatly influenced the lives of the villagers. He left his job... and took on the task of greening the poor hills.”可知,说明王子忠种树是为改善当地因土壤侵蚀影响的生活。故选A。
2.词句猜测题。根据“no roads, carry tree seedlings and water... make many trips every day”可知,种树过程很艰难。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据“Wang didn’t give up. He continued to live and work on the mountains, planting trees.”可知,即妻子去世后他继续像往常一样绿化荒山。故选A。
4.主旨大意题。通读原文可知,文章围绕王子忠一家42年绿化荒山、保护森林的长期努力展开。故选D。
长难句解析
原句:(最后一段第一句)Their efforts have turned the poor mountains into green forests, leaving a “green treasure” for future and showing that the idea of green development is increasingly taking root in people’s hearts.
译文:他们的努力让荒山变成了郁郁葱葱的森林,为未来留下了一份 “绿色财富”,也彰显出绿色发展理念正日益在人们心中扎根。
分析:主句为 “Their efforts have turned the poor mountains into green forests”(他们的努力将荒山变成了绿色森林),使用 “turn...into...” 结构体现变化的结果。
现在分词短语 “leaving a ‘green treasure’ for future” 和 “showing that...hearts” 作伴随状语,补充说明 “将荒山变森林” 带来的两个结果:一是为未来留下 “绿色财富”;二是表明绿色发展理念日益深入人心。
第二个分词短语中包含宾语从句 “that the idea...hearts”,其中 “taking root in”(扎根于)生动形象地描述了绿色发展理念被人们接受的过程。
译文
来自山东慈峪村的 78 岁农民王子忠,在过去 42 年里和家人一起投身于荒山绿化与森林保护事业。
1983 年,王子忠看到慈峪村北面的荒山,便开始琢磨在山上种树。山上严重的土壤侵蚀极大地影响了村民的生活。
他辞去了教师的工作,从当地政府租下这片土地,承担起绿化荒山的任务。他带领家人上山,开启了艰辛的种树之路。
那时候,他和妻子把两个十几岁的儿子留在山洞里,夫妻俩则忙着挖树坑。山上没有路,王子忠不得不肩扛树苗和水,步行几公里上山。他每次带的水只能浇七八棵树,所以每天都要往返很多趟。
这家人一次在山上要住一个多月,他们睡在山洞里,吃着煎饼,喝着山涧里的水。
1997 年,王子忠的妻子在山上时突发心脏病去世。然而,王子忠没有放弃,他继续在山上生活、劳作,坚持种树。
随着年龄增长,王子忠把护林的任务交给了儿子。受父亲影响,王涛接下了这份工作,每天辛勤劳作,延续着家里的事业。42 年来,王家共种植了 20 多万棵树,覆盖面积超过 133 公顷。
他们的努力让荒山变成了郁郁葱葱的森林,为未来留下了一份 “绿色财富”,也彰显出绿色发展理念正日益在人们心中扎根。

Passage A
(2025·山东济宁·二模)The ancient silk road was a once-in-a-lifetime journey. It was one of the most important milestones (里程碑) of trade and culture in world history, and the pioneer, Zhang Qian, could not be easily forgotten by history. He was an excellent diplomat (外交家), traveler and explorer (探险家) in the Han Dynasty of China, remembered as “the first Chinese to open their eyes to see the world” and “the Columbus (哥伦布) of the east”.
In 138 BC, Zhang Qian was sent to the west of China for an alliance with the Yue-zhi people to fight against the Xiongnu. He started his trip from Chang’an to Longxi. But unluckily, Zhang was caught by the Xiongnu people just as he left Han, and was held prisoner (囚犯) for ten years.
Zhang finally managed to run away with some of his men and continued to travel west. When Zhang at last reached the Yue-zhi in Northern India, he was disappointed to find that they didn’t want to fight against the Xiongnu people. On the return journey, Zhang Qian and his men were again caught. It was not until 125 BC that they returned to Chang’an.
Though Zhang hadn’t finished his task, he brought back first-hand information about Central Asia. The roads Zhang Qian opened up later served as the important ways connecting Europe, the Middle East, Mesopotamia, Central Asia, and East Asia. Commodities (商品) have been transported by traders along these ways, which have been known as the “Silk Road” since the 19th century. Zhang Qian has been remembered as the great explorer that opened up a new period of cultural exchange between East and West.
1.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “alliance” in Paragraph 2?
A.选择 B.探险 C.联合 D.战争
2.According to the passage, what kind of person is Zhang Qian?
A.Honest and strong. B.Careful and creative.
C.Proud and open-minded. D.Brave and strong-minded.
3.The writer would most probably talk about ________ after Paragraph 4.
A.why traders did business along the Silk Road
B.what Zhang Qian did in the rest of his lifetime
C.what difficulties Zhang Qian faced during the task
D.how the Silk Road made a difference to the cultural exchange
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Zhang Qian and the Silk Road. B.The Importance of the Silk Road.
C.Zhang Qian and the Yue-chi People. D.Ancient Explorers and Trade in Han Dynasty.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.D 4.A

Passage C
This year marks the 130th anniversary (周年) of Xu Beihong’s birth. Born in 1895 in Jiangsu province, Xu was one of the “fathers of modern Chinese art”.
Xu started learning Chinese painting when he was 9 years old. In 1919, he went to Paris to study sketching (素描) and learned about Western art. He worked hard to mix Chinese and Western art styles. In one of his famous works, Three Horses, Xu put together traditional Chinese coloring skills with Western realism (现实主义) to paint three strong horses standing under a big tree. After returning to China in 1927, Xu set up the National Central University Art Department.
While Xu was best known for painting horses, he also painted other animals, people and important historical scenes. Many of his animal paintings have deeper meanings. In Meeting of Forces in Tokyo (《会师东京》), painted in 1943, the artist shows a group of lions that stand for China and other countries fighting against fascism (法西斯). In the background, a rising red sun shows Xu’s strong belief in winning the World Anti-Fascist War.
Besides being a painter, Xu was also an art educator. He wanted his students to be creative and love beauty. During his time as director of the National Central University Art Department, he set up many new courses such as sketching, oil painting and art theory (理论).

Passage D
Most architects (建筑师) hope to add to the character of a city, but Ieoh Ming Pei, one of the world’s best known architects, designs many iconic (符号的) buildings in cities around the world. The JFK President Library in Boston, US (1979), the Louvre Pyramid in Paris (1989), the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong (1990) and the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar (2008), are just a few of his many creations.
The man behind these landmark buildings died on May 16, at age 102.
Pei once noted that a typical style of design “is of no help to an architect”. Instead, he was known for his eclectic (兼收并蓄的) style, bringing together seemingly opposite ideas into each design— East and West, ancient and modem, natural and man-made.
This may come from his education. Born and raised in China, he went to the US to study architecture at 18. He studied at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then completed his Master of Arts study at Harvard. “I’ve never left China,” the Chinese-American Pei once told The Financial Times. “My family’s been there for 600 years.” Pei tried to include local and historical ideas in his designs. When designing the Suzhou Museum in the 2000s, he took new ideas from the city’s beautiful classical gardens. Instead of building a giant to overshadow (使……失色) them, Pei built small halls with traditional white walls and dark roofs, in the style of other gardens.
Besides matching his design to the local surroundings, Pei also thought that light was a key factor in creating a lively atmosphere (氛围). He cares a lot about sunshine in his designs.
The glass pyramid of the Louvre Museum in Paris is a good example. It doesn’t hide the buildings around it. Instead, it reflects (映照) them in the sunlight. It also serves as a huge window, letting sunlight into the museum. Today, many people visit the Louvre and take photos of the pyramid.
In the end, what Pei valued most in architecture, he said, was that the buildings could “stand the test of time” . As The New York Times sums up, he didn’t just want to solve problems but also to produce “an architecture of ideas”.
1.According to the passage, which is Ieoh Ming Pei’s design?
①the Suzhou Museum ②the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong
③the Louvre Museum in Paris ④the JFK President Library in Boston
A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①③④ D.①②④
2.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Pei’s historical ideas. B.Pei’s western ideas.
C.Pei’s modern style. D.Pei’s eclectic style.
3.Which of the following descriptions about Pei’s designs is NOT right?
A.Pei is good at putting different ideas into his designs.
B.Pei designed the Suzhou Museum in a Western style.
C.The buildings Pei designed have a lasting value.
D.The buildings Pei designed are a good match for the surroundings.
4.What does the sentence “stand the test of time” in Paragraph 7 mean?
A.Buildings should be built with the most expensive materials.
B.Buildings should be designed to be taller than others.
C.Buildings should be able to last long and remain significant.
D.Buildings should be decorated with the most fashionable things.
【答案】1.D 2.D 3.B 4.C

4.词句猜测题。根据最后一段提到的“stand the test of time”以及“he didn’t just want to solve problems but also to produce ‘an architecture of ideas’”可知,贝聿铭希望他的建筑能够经得起时间的考验,保持长久的意义。故选C。
Passage E
请阅读全文,并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。
Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. 1 But there’s one person in China who is called the “teacher of teachers”.
He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi. Last year marked the 130 anniversary of his birth. People in different parts of China memorize Tao by visiting his memorial halls or holding meetings to think back on his thoughts on education.
Born in Anhui province, China, 1891, Tao studied at Columbia University, the US, in 1914. 2 But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly copy Dewey’s education method or theories. For Tao, education is an active process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and being told. He encouraged “unity of teaching, learning, and reflective acting”.
3 After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy (文盲) in China went beyond 70 percent. 4 To deal with the lack of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal college (晓庄师范学院) in the northern suburbs of Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at rural schools.
5 He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offered free education to refugee (避难) children after the Japanese invasion of China began in 1937.
Maybe Tao’s moto is the best explanation for his life, “Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return,not even a leaf of grass.”
A.There he studied educational philosophy under the guidance of John Dewey, an American philosopher and educational reformer (改革家).
B.Even during the anti-Japanese war, Tao never forgot his dream.
C.To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working.
D.They are tasked with the mission to spread knowledge ideas and truth.
E.On the voyage of life, he lit the light of hope for everyone.
F.Apart from reforming (改革) education methods, Tao also tried his best to promote the education for ordinary people.
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.F 4.C 5.B
【导语】本文主要介绍了教育家陶行知。

3.根据“After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy in China went beyond 70 percent…”可知,陶留学归来后通过调查发现当时中国的文盲率高达70%,他决定培养培训教师和教育工作者,空处应在引出陶行知推出的一系列教育改革,选项F“除了改革教育方法外,陶还尽力促进普通民众的教育”符合语境。故选F。
4.根据上文描述当时中国的文盲率高及下文“…to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at rural schools.”可知,空格处应在说明解决这一问题的方法,选项C“为了解决这个问题,他组织青年工人和农民边工作边学习”符合语境。故选C。
