Nuclear expert Peng Shilu once said that he only did two things in his entire life: one was to build nuclear submarines (核潜艇), and the other to build nuclear power plants. Despite being one of the founding members of China’s nuclear power industry, Peng described himself as playing a tiny role in the task. In fact, he held leading positions in most of China’s early nuclear power projects, from the first-generation nuclear submarines to the establishment of Dayawan and Qinshan nuclear power stations.
Peng was born in 1925 into a family of heroes. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Peng was selected to study chemical machinery (机械) in the Soviet Union. In 1956, when he was about to graduate, he faced a turning point in his life. At that time, the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major. Peng willingly agreed, marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing China’s nuclear power.
In 1958, China started to independently develop its own nuclear submarines, and Peng was appointed to take charge of the research and design of the nuclear propulsion system. In the 1980s, China decided to build a commercial nuclear power plant. Appointed as the director-in-chief, Peng once again devoted himself to its preparation and construction.
During his career, Peng held a variety of high-ranking titles. In 1994, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, one of the top academic bodies in China.
Peng passed away in Beijing on March 22, 2021 at the age of 96. The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” to Peng for his contributions.
24.What does the author imply in the first paragraph?
A.Peng took interest in nothing but nuclear power.
B.Peng was actually a very modest person.
C.Peng played a tiny role in building nuclear power plants.
D.Peng was the most important figure in the nuclear field.
25.What does the underlined part in the 2nd paragraph mean?

C
Huang Xuhua, born in 1926 in Guangdong Province, is known as the “Father of China’s Nuclear Submarines.” His pioneering work in the 1960s and 1970s helped lay the foundation for China’s nuclear submarine (核潜艇) program, which played a key role in the country’s defense strategy during a time of intense global pressure.
In 1958, Mr. Huang was appointed as the chief designer for China’s first nuclear submarine project. At that time, China lacked the necessary technology and resources to construct such advanced submarines, and due to international isolation, the team had to rely solely on domestic innovation. Despite these significant challenges, Mr. Huang accepted the mission with determination, driven by the need to safeguard China’s maritime sovereignty (主权) and strengthen its strategic defenses. The greatest hurdle was developing a compact nuclear reactor capable of powering a submarine. With limited expertise in nuclear physics and engineering, Mr. Huang and his team worked tirelessly to design an efficient and reliable reactor, demonstrating his creativity and leadership skills.
After over a decade of hard work, Huang’s team achieved a historic breakthrough in 1970 by launching China’s first nuclear-powered submarine, the Type 091 (Han-class). This meant China became one of the few countries able to build nuclear submarines. Soon after, they developed the Type 092 (Xia-class), China’s first ballistic missile submarine, which boosted the country’s nuclear defense.
Huang’s contributions went beyond technology. His leadership inspired a generation of Chinese scientists and engineers to focus on self-reliance and innovation. Despite the heavy pressure and secrecy surrounding his work, Huang stayed committed to the project, often sacrificing personal comforts for its success. In recognition of his achievements, Huang has received many awards, including the Supreme State Science and Technology Award, China’s highest honor for scientific achievements.
28.What was the biggest challenge in developing China’s first nuclear submarine?
A.Funding missile systems.
B.Lacking the necessary technology and resources.
C.Coordinating international cooperation.
D.Designing a compact nuclear reactor to power a submarine.
29.What is the primary purpose of paragraph 3?
A.To compare the functions of Type 091 and Type 092 submarines.
B.To emphasize the global popularity of Chinese submarine technology.
C.To showcase the technological achievements and their strategic impact.
D.To list the names and launch dates of China’s early nuclear submarines.
30.Which of the following best describe Huang Xuhua?
A.Innovative and patriotic.
B.Talented and courageous.
C.Modest and cooperative.
D.Hard-working and adventurous.

The mystery in northwest China, the grand gallery in the desert, the incomparable art, and extensive and profound culture — everything about Dunhuang could take a visitor’s breath away. All these have charmed generations of people, and they have also brought them to form a firm bond with Dunhuang. Fan Jinshi, whose given name means “beautiful poetry” in Chinese, is one of them.
After graduating from Peking University in 1963, Fan had the chance to work in prosperous big cities. However, she determinedly joined the Research Institute on Cultural Relics of Dunhuang (later renamed the Dunhuang Academy), and worked as a guardian of Mogao Grottoes. At the time of her arrival, it was not a comfortable place to live and did not have electricity or running water. All she could see was barren land. She not only had to adapt to the harsh environment, but also had to endure the long-term separation from her family.
But Fan’s devotion to archaeology, protection and management of grottoes never wavered (动摇), and she has made outstanding contributions to the cause of “protecting, studying and carrying forward” Dunhuang Grottoes through her works. Dunhuang is an old person, an extremely vulnerable old person. It has a lot of illnesses. If you are a little careless, it would be gone, Fan says.
Fan has devoted herself to exploring and researching, and she has written valuable archaeological reports. And as a conservationist, she serves to protect the ancient site from erosion, collapsing and overtourism. In her dozens of years of research in Dunhuang heritage conservation, she has led a team dedicated to the preservation of the world’s cultural heritage, actively engaged in international exchange and cooperation in heritage conservation, introduced advanced conservation concepts and technologies, and built “Digital Dunhuang”. She is known as the “daughter of Dunhuang” for her outstanding contributions to the protection of the Mogao Grottoes. The longer she stayed there, the deeper her love has grown for Dunhuang.
Fan has received the nation at honor of “Outstanding Contributor to the Cultural Heritage Preservation” for her substantial contribution to the permanent preservation and sustainable utilization of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. A minor planet was named after Fan Jinshi at a naming ceremony in Dunhuang to commemorate Fan’s devotion.
32.Why does the author describe Dunhuang’s harsh environment?
A.To highlight the preservation challenges.
B.To contrast with modern living conditions.
C.To illustrate the lack of resources available.
D.To emphasize the remoteness of the location.
33.What motivated Fan Jinshi’s devotion to Dunhuang?
A.Personal fame and recognition. B.Desire for a fashionable lifestyle.
C.Passion for archaeology and culture. D.Family background in Dunhuang studies.
34.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.Fan Jinshi’s role in international cooperation.
B.The recognition of Fan Jinshi’s achievements.
C.Fan Jinshi’s conservation efforts for Dunhuang.
D.The architectural feature of the Mogao Grottoes.
35.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Failure is the mother of success. B.Devotion leads to great achievement.
C.Youth means limitless possibilities. D.What a man needs most is appreciated.

Stephen Hawking was a scientist known for his work with black holes and relativity, and the author of popular science books like A Brief History of Time.
Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England. 36 The political climate was also tense. The couple was living as Frank Hawking undertook research in medicine.
Hawking’s father wanted him to go into medicine. 37 That was evident to his mother, who, along with her children, often stretched out in the backyard on summer evenings to stare up at the stars. “Stephen always had a strong sense of wonder,” she remembered. “And I could see that the stars would draw him.”
Early in his academic life, Hawking, while recognized as bright, was not an exceptional student. 38 But Hawking focused on pursuits outside of school; he loved board games, and he and a few close friends created new games of their own. During his teens, Hawking, along with several friends, constructed a computer out of recycled parts for solving rudimentary mathematical equations.
39 He would later calculate that he averaged about an hour a day focusing on school. And yet he didn’t really have to do much more than that. In 1962, he graduated with honors in natural science and went on to attend Trinity Hall at the University of Cambridge for a Ph.D.in cosmology.
40 The next few years were a fruitful time for Hawking and his research. In 1973, he published his first, highly-technical book, The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time, with G. F. R. Ellis.
A.Hawking’s birth came at an improper time for his parents, who didn’t have much money.
B.With his sister Mary, Hawking devised different entry routes into the family home.
C.He loved to dance and also took an interest in rowing, becoming a team coxswain (舵手) in college.
D.But at an early age, Hawking showed a passion for science and the sky.
E.By his own account, Hawking didn’t put much time into his studies.
F.In 1968, Hawking became a member of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge.
G.During his first year at St. Albans School, he was the third from the bottom of his class.

Many children may be fond of animals, but few ever think of making the study of animals as their career. Even fewer will be 41 by the whole world, enjoying the title of United Nations Messenger (使者) of Peace.
But one woman has 42 all that. She has lived with chimps in the African forest for many years and made great discoveries. Jane Goodall’s lifelong 43 in animals began at an early age. By the age of 10 or 11, Goodall 44 going to Africa to live with animals. This was quite a strange dream in those days, as young girls didn’t think of having such “wild” actions. But she was 45 by her mother. She told her that if she really wanted something, she should work hard, take advantage of 46 and never give up looking for a way.
When a close friend invited Goodall to Kenya in 1957, she readily 47 it. Within a few months of her arrival, she met the famous anthropologist (人类学家) Dr Louis Leakey, who soon decided that Goodall was the 48 person he was looking for to begin a 49 of wild chimps on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania.
In the beginning, studying the chimps was not easy for her. The animals fled from her 50 . With a strong 51 , she searched the forest every day, trying not to get too close to the chimps too soon. Gradually the chimps became used to her presence.
In October 1960, she observed a chimp making and using 52 to fish for termites (白蚁). This discovery threw 53 on the popular idea at the time that man was the world’s only toolmaker. The longer Goodall’s research continues, the more it becomes obvious that chimps are very 54 to humans.
Since the mid-1980s, Goodall has been lecturing around the world to raise people’s sense about environmental 55 . “Let’s live in the new age with hope, respect for all living things, understanding and love.” she said.

Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian-American pathologist and bacteriologist (病理兼细菌学家), was born 56 June 14,1868, in Vienna, Austria. He is known for making a 57 (discover) in the identification of blood groups, which was a great breakthrough in medical science.
Working in the lab of Dr. Max von Pettenkofer in Munich, Landsteiner became 58 (addict) to the study of blood. His research led to the classification (分类) of blood into four groups, now known as A, B, AB, and O. This finding was important because it allowed doctors to choose the blood types for transfusions (输血), which saved many lives.
Landsteiner’s work was challenging. In 59 beginning, his finding was met with doubts by the medical community. However, he didn’t give up and continued his research. He kept 60 (try) and it paid off. In 1909, he 61 (award) the Nobel Prize in Medicine for finding out how to figure out blood groups.
62 (further) his research, Landsteiner moved to the United States in 1922 and joined the staff of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York City. There, he continued to contribute a lot to the study of blood.
One of Landsteiner’s most important 63 (contribution) was the development of the Rh factor classification system that was introduced in 1937. It helped to give the reason for 64 some individuals experienced serious reactions during blood transfusions. The Rh factor, along with the ABO blood group system, is now used worldwide to ensure the safety of blood transfusions.
Today, his findings are considered one of the most important in the history of medicine, and he is 65 (true) remembered as the father of modern blood transfusion.

One year ago, I joined a club. Every morning, there was a personal trainer who worked out. He did his routine with such a quiet determination that he made it all look very easy When I wanted to quit, I watched him push himself to his own limits, and I found myself motivated to work hard.
Several weeks ago, I was watching him do chin-ups (引体向上) easily. I asked him if I could try it. I had never tried before. He eagerly stepped aside and encouraged me to step up to the bar. I pulled myself up without thinking... Once... then twice. I had no strength left. I told him that was all I had, so he stepped up behind me and pushed me up for a third and a fourth pull. It felt so good and I smiled from ear to ear.
The next day when I was done with my workout, I asked him to spot me again. Again, I did two. Again, on Day three and so on. I thought it was pitiful that I could only do two, but he said he was impressed with my chin-ups, explaining that most people couldn’t do them at all. Then he told me that if I practised every day, I would be doing five or six in no time.
I just jumped in and gave it a try. A few months had passed since that memorable day in the club. I continued to work on my chin-ups, slowly but steadily. With each passing week, I could feel my strength increasing and my determination growing.
One day, as I approached the chin-up bar, my trainer noticed the determination in my eyes. He smiled and said, “You know, you made a big progress in a such short time. I think it’s time to set a new goal for yourself.” I asked, “What do you have in mind?” He replied, “How about aiming for ten consecutive chin-ups? I believe that you can achieve it with your insistence.

67.I was both excited and nervous about this new challenge. Ten chin-ups seemed like a significant leap from where I had started, but the belief my trainer had in me fueled my determination, I accepted the challenge and got to work. Every morning, I pushed myself harder than before. The numbers slowly climbed: three, four, five and then seven chin-ups. It was challenging, but I remembered the lesson that I had learned. The most difficult tasks can be achieved through consistent effort and belief in oneself.
Finally, one morning, it happened. I pulled myself up to the bar and completed ten consecutive chin-ups. I couldn’t contain my excitement and joy. I felt a profound sense of accomplishment. I achieved my goal through persistence. I had made it a reality. As I continue my fitness journey, I carry this lesson with me: No matter how daunting the obstacle may seem, the belief and persistence can help me overcome it. It’s not just about physical strength but also about mental fortitude and the power of setting and achieving goals.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Throughout history, women have made significant contributions to the field of science. It is essential to shed light on the women of science, as their struggles and breakthroughs continue to inspire generations of scientists.
Ada Lovelace
Ada Lovelace, the daughter of the poet Lord Byron, is often regarded as the world’s first computer programmer. Her ground-breaking insights and analytical skills led her to write the first algorithm, imagining the potential of the machine to do more than just calculations. Lovelace’s vision made her well-known as a pioneer in the field.
Rosalind Franklin
Rosalind Franklin’s X-ray crystallography images played a vital role in understanding the structure of DNA.Her data, acquired through research, was used by James Watson and Francis Crick without her permission or acknowledgment. Franklin’s invaluable contributions to genetics and biology deserve recognition as they provided the key insights into the building blocks of life, yet her name is often overshadowed by her male colleagues.
Lise Meitner
Lise Meitner made ground-breaking discoveries in nuclear science. Meitner’s contributions to this field are celebrated today, as she paved the way for significant advancements in energy production and scientific understanding. Lise Meitner certainly deserves the place she has earned in the history of science.

22.细节理解题。根据Ada Lovelace段落中“Her ground-breaking insights and analytical skills led her to write the first algorithm, imagining the potential of the machine to do more than just calculations. Lovelace’s vision made her well-known as a pioneer in the field.(她开创性的洞察力和分析能力使她写出了第一个算法,想象了机器的潜力,不仅仅是计算。Lovelace的远见使她成为该领域的知名先驱。)”可知,是Ada Lovelace的远见使她出名的。故选B项。
23.推理判断题。根据Rosalind Franklin段落中“Franklin’s invaluable contributions to genetics and bi ology deserve recognition as they provided the key insights into the building blocks of life, yet her name is often overshadowed by her male colleagues.(Franklin对遗传学和生物学的宝贵贡献值得肯定,因为他们为生命的构成提供了关键的见解,但她的名字往往被她的男性同事所掩盖。)”可知,Rosalind Franklin被低估了。故选B项。
B
Nuclear expert Peng Shilu once said that he only did two things in his entire life: one was to build nuclear submarines (核潜艇), and the other to build nuclear power plants. Despite being one of the founding members of China’s nuclear power industry, Peng described himself as playing a tiny role in the task. In fact, he held leading positions in most of China’s early nuclear power projects, from the first-generation nuclear submarines to the establishment of Dayawan and Qinshan nuclear power stations.
Peng was born in 1925 into a family of heroes. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Peng was selected to study chemical machinery (机械) in the Soviet Union. In 1956, when he was about to graduate, he faced a turning point in his life. At that time, the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major. Peng willingly agreed, marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing China’s nuclear power.
In 1958, China started to independently develop its own nuclear submarines, and Peng was appointed to take charge of the research and design of the nuclear propulsion system. In the 1980s, China decided to build a commercial nuclear power plant. Appointed as the director-in-chief, Peng once again devoted himself to its preparation and construction.
During his career, Peng held a variety of high-ranking titles. In 1994, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, one of the top academic bodies in China.
Peng passed away in Beijing on March 22, 2021 at the age of 96. The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” to Peng for his contributions.
24.What does the author imply in the first paragraph?
A.Peng took interest in nothing but nuclear power.
B.Peng was actually a very modest person.
C.Peng played a tiny role in building nuclear power plants.
D.Peng was the most important figure in the nuclear field.
25.What does the underlined part in the 2nd paragraph mean?
A.Focus on. B.Know about.
C.Turn to. D.Research into.
26.How does the author develop the passage?
A.By following the time order. B.By showing the great importance.
C.By providing some similar examples. D.By explaining the process of research.
27.Which of the following is the proper title for the passage?
A.China Honors a Nuclear Power Expert
B.Peng Shilu Built Nuclear Submarines
C.China Lost a Famous Nuclear Expert
D.A Nuclear Hero Devoted Himself to Helping His Country
【答案】24.B 25.C 26.A 27.D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了中国著名的核动力专家彭士禄院士的生平事迹和重要贡献。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Despite being one of the founding members of China’s nuclear power industry, Peng described himself as playing a tiny role in the task. (尽管彭是中国核电工业的奠基人之一,但他说自己在这项任务中发挥的作用很小)”可推知,彭士禄院士是一个非常谦虚的人。故选B项。
25.词句猜测题。根据画线部分的上文“Peng was selected to study chemical machinery (机械) in the Soviet Union. In 1956, when he was about to graduate, he faced a turning point in his life. (彭被选派到苏联学习化学机械。1956年,当他即将毕业时,他面临着人生的转折点)”和下文“the atomic energy major (原子能专业)”可知,彭面临的转折点是放弃自己原来的专业,改学原子能专业,turn to表示“转向”,与画线部分意义一致。故选C项。
26.推理判断题。通读全文可知,第一段引出文章的主题,再结合第二段中“Peng was born in 1925 into a family of heroes. (彭于1925年出生在一个英雄家庭)”、“In 1956, when he was about to graduate, he faced a turning point in his life. (1956年,当他即将毕业时,他面临着人生的转折点)”、第三段中“In 1958, China started to independently develop its own nuclear submarines, and Peng was appointed to take charge of the research and design of the nuclear propulsion system. In the 1980s, China decided to build a commercial nuclear power plant. (1958年,中国开始独立研制自己的核潜艇,彭被任命负责核动力推进系统的研究和设计。在20世纪80年代,中国决定建造一座商业核电站)”、第四段中“In 1994, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (1994年他当选为中国工程院院士)”和最后一段中“Peng passed away in Beijing on March 22, 2021 (彭于2021年3月22日在北京去世)”可知,文章按照时间顺序讲述彭士禄院士的生平。故选A项。
27.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“In fact, he held leading positions in most of China’s early nuclear power projects, from the first-generation nuclear submarines to the establishment of Dayawan and Qinshan nuclear power stations. (事实上,从第一代核潜艇到大亚湾和秦山核电站的建设,他在中国早期的大部分核电项目中都担任领导职务)”和最后一段中“The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” to Peng for his contributions. (中共中央宣传部授予他“时代楷模”称号,以表彰他的贡献)”可知,文章讲述了中国著名的核动力专家彭士禄的事迹,尤其体现了彭士禄为祖国发展所做的贡献。因此,D项“一位核英雄致力于帮助他的国家”最契合彭士禄的人物事迹和贡献,适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
C
Huang Xuhua, born in 1926 in Guangdong Province, is known as the “Father of China’s Nuclear Submarines.” His pioneering work in the 1960s and 1970s helped lay the foundation for China’s nuclear submarine (核潜艇) program, which played a key role in the country’s defense strategy during a time of intense global pressure.
In 1958, Mr. Huang was appointed as the chief designer for China’s first nuclear submarine project. At that time, China lacked the necessary technology and resources to construct such advanced submarines, and due to international isolation, the team had to rely solely on domestic innovation. Despite these significant challenges, Mr. Huang accepted the mission with determination, driven by the need to safeguard China’s maritime sovereignty (主权) and strengthen its strategic defenses. The greatest hurdle was developing a compact nuclear reactor capable of powering a submarine. With limited expertise in nuclear physics and engineering, Mr. Huang and his team worked tirelessly to design an efficient and reliable reactor, demonstrating his creativity and leadership skills.
After over a decade of hard work, Huang’s team achieved a historic breakthrough in 1970 by launching China’s first nuclear-powered submarine, the Type 091 (Han-class). This meant China became one of the few countries able to build nuclear submarines. Soon after, they developed the Type 092 (Xia-class), China’s first ballistic missile submarine, which boosted the country’s nuclear defense.
Huang’s contributions went beyond technology. His leadership inspired a generation of Chinese scientists and engineers to focus on self-reliance and innovation. Despite the heavy pressure and secrecy surrounding his work, Huang stayed committed to the project, often sacrificing personal comforts for its success.

The mystery in northwest China, the grand gallery in the desert, the incomparable art, and extensive and profound culture — everything about Dunhuang could take a visitor’s breath away. All these have charmed generations of people, and they have also brought them to form a firm bond with Dunhuang. Fan Jinshi, whose given name means “beautiful poetry” in Chinese, is one of them.
After graduating from Peking University in 1963, Fan had the chance to work in prosperous big cities. However, she determinedly joined the Research Institute on Cultural Relics of Dunhuang (later renamed the Dunhuang Academy), and worked as a guardian of Mogao Grottoes. At the time of her arrival, it was not a comfortable place to live and did not have electricity or running water. All she could see was barren land. She not only had to adapt to the harsh environment, but also had to endure the long-term separation from her family.
But Fan’s devotion to archaeology, protection and management of grottoes never wavered (动摇), and she has made outstanding contributions to the cause of “protecting, studying and carrying forward” Dunhuang Grottoes through her works. Dunhuang is an old person, an extremely vulnerable old person. It has a lot of illnesses. If you are a little careless, it would be gone, Fan says.
Fan has devoted herself to exploring and researching, and she has written valuable archaeological reports. And as a conservationist, she serves to protect the ancient site from erosion, collapsing and overtourism. In her dozens of years of research in Dunhuang heritage conservation, she has led a team dedicated to the preservation of the world’s cultural heritage, actively engaged in international exchange and cooperation in heritage conservation, introduced advanced conservation concepts and technologies, and built “Digital Dunhuang”. She is known as the “daughter of Dunhuang” for her outstanding contributions to the protection of the Mogao Grottoes. The longer she stayed there, the deeper her love has grown for Dunhuang.
Fan has received the nation at honor of “Outstanding Contributor to the Cultural Heritage Preservation” for her substantial contribution to the permanent preservation and sustainable utilization of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. A minor planet was named after Fan Jinshi at a naming ceremony in Dunhuang to commemorate Fan’s devotion.
32.Why does the author describe Dunhuang’s harsh environment?
A.To highlight the preservation challenges.
B.To contrast with modern living conditions.
C.To illustrate the lack of resources available.
D.To emphasize the remoteness of the location.
33.What motivated Fan Jinshi’s devotion to Dunhuang?
A.Personal fame and recognition. B.Desire for a fashionable lifestyle.
C.Passion for archaeology and culture. D.Family background in Dunhuang studies.
34.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.Fan Jinshi’s role in international cooperation.
B.The recognition of Fan Jinshi’s achievements.
C.Fan Jinshi’s conservation efforts for Dunhuang.
D.The architectural feature of the Mogao Grottoes.
35.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Failure is the mother of success. B.Devotion leads to great achievement.
C.Youth means limitless possibilities. D.What a man needs most is appreciated.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Stephen Hawking was a scientist known for his work with black holes and relativity, and the author of popular science books like A Brief History of Time.
Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England. 36 The political climate was also tense. The couple was living as Frank Hawking undertook research in medicine.
Hawking’s father wanted him to go into medicine. 37 That was evident to his mother, who, along with her children, often stretched out in the backyard on summer evenings to stare up at the stars. “Stephen always had a strong sense of wonder,” she remembered. “And I could see that the stars would draw him.”
Early in his academic life, Hawking, while recognized as bright, was not an exceptional student. 38 But Hawking focused on pursuits outside of school; he loved board games, and he and a few close friends created new games of their own. During his teens, Hawking, along with several friends, constructed a computer out of recycled parts for solving rudimentary mathematical equations.
39 He would later calculate that he averaged about an hour a day focusing on school. And yet he didn’t really have to do much more than that. In 1962, he graduated with honors in natural science and went on to attend Trinity Hall at the University of Cambridge for a Ph.D.in cosmology.
40 The next few years were a fruitful time for Hawking and his research. In 1973, he published his first, highly-technical book, The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time, with G. F. R. Ellis.
A.Hawking’s birth came at an improper time for his parents, who didn’t have much money.
B.With his sister Mary, Hawking devised different entry routes into the family home.
C.He loved to dance and also took an interest in rowing, becoming a team coxswain (舵手) in college.
D.But at an early age, Hawking showed a passion for science and the sky.
E.By his own account, Hawking didn’t put much time into his studies.
F.In 1968, Hawking became a member of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge.
G.During his first year at St. Albans School, he was the third from the bottom of his class.
【答案】36.A 37.D 38.G 39.E 40.F

The couple was living as Frank Hawking undertook research in medicine.(政治气氛也很紧张。这对夫妇生活在弗兰克·霍金从事医学研究的时期。)”说明当时政治局势紧张,霍金父母生活的情况。选项A“Hawking’s birth came at an improper time for his parents, who didn’t have much money.(霍金出生的时间对他的父母来说不太合适,他们没有多少钱。)”指出霍金出生时对他父母来说不是个好时机,且他们没什么钱,既承接了前文出生时间,又引出后文紧张的生活状况。故选A项。
37.前文“Hawking’s father wanted him to go into medicine.(霍金的父亲希望他从医。)”说霍金的父亲希望他学医,后文“That was evident to his mother, who, along with her children, often stretched out in the backyard on summer evenings to stare up at the stars.(这对他的母亲来说是显而易见的,她和她的孩子们经常在夏天的晚上躺在后院盯着天上的星星。)”表明霍金对科学和天空有兴趣。选项D“But at an early age, Hawking showed a passion for science and the sky.(但在很小的时候,霍金就表现出对科学和天空的热情。)”起到转折作用,说明霍金早年就对科学和天空有热情,与前文父亲希望他学医形成对比,引出后文他对天空的兴趣表现。故选D项。
38.前文“Early in his academic life, Hawking, while recognized as bright, was not an exceptional student.(在他早期的学术生涯中,霍金虽然被认为很聪明,但并不是一个出类拔萃的学生)”指出霍金早期在学业上不是特别出色。选项G“During his first year at St. Albans School, he was the third from the bottom of his class.(在圣奥尔本斯学校的第一年,他是班里倒数第三名。)”具体举例说明他在圣奥尔本斯学校第一年成绩在班级里接近垫底,是对前文他学业不出色的具体阐述。故选G项。
39.后文“He would later calculate that he averaged about an hour a day focusing on school.(他后来计算出,他平均每天花一个小时在学习上。)”说明霍金后来计算自己每天平均花在学习上的时间约一小时。选项E“By his own account, Hawking didn’t put much time into his studies.(据霍金自己说,他并没有在学习上花太多时间。)”表明据霍金自己说,他没在学习上投入太多时间,引出后文他学习时间少的具体情况。故选E项。
40.后文“The next few years were a fruitful time for Hawking and his research.(接下来的几年是霍金和他的研究成果丰硕的时期。)”说明接下来的几年对霍金的研究来说是成果丰硕的时期。选项F“In 1968, Hawking became a member of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge.(1968年,霍金成为剑桥天文研究所的一员。)”提到1968年霍金成为剑桥大学天文研究所的一员,为后文他研究成果丰硕做了铺垫。故选F项。

Working in the lab of Dr. Max von Pettenkofer in Munich, Landsteiner became 58 (addict) to the study of blood. His research led to the classification (分类) of blood into four groups, now known as A, B, AB, and O. This finding was important because it allowed doctors to choose the blood types for transfusions (输血), which saved many lives.
Landsteiner’s work was challenging. In 59 beginning, his finding was met with doubts by the medical community. However, he didn’t give up and continued his research. He kept 60 (try) and it paid off. In 1909, he 61 (award) the Nobel Prize in Medicine for finding out how to figure out blood groups.
62 (further) his research, Landsteiner moved to the United States in 1922 and joined the staff of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York City. There, he continued to contribute a lot to the study of blood.
One of Landsteiner’s most important 63 (contribution) was the development of the Rh factor classification system that was introduced in 1937. It helped to give the reason for 64 some individuals experienced serious reactions during blood transfusions. The Rh factor, along with the ABO blood group system, is now used worldwide to ensure the safety of blood transfusions.
Today, his findings are considered one of the most important in the history of medicine, and he is 65 (true) remembered as the father of modern blood transfusion.

One year ago, I joined a club. Every morning, there was a personal trainer who worked out. He did his routine with such a quiet determination that he made it all look very easy When I wanted to quit, I watched him push himself to his own limits, and I found myself motivated to work hard.
Several weeks ago, I was watching him do chin-ups (引体向上) easily. I asked him if I could try it. I had never tried before. He eagerly stepped aside and encouraged me to step up to the bar. I pulled myself up without thinking... Once... then twice. I had no strength left. I told him that was all I had, so he stepped up behind me and pushed me up for a third and a fourth pull. It felt so good and I smiled from ear to ear.
The next day when I was done with my workout, I asked him to spot me again. Again, I did two. Again, on Day three and so on. I thought it was pitiful that I could only do two, but he said he was impressed with my chin-ups, explaining that most people couldn’t do them at all. Then he told me that if I practised every day, I would be doing five or six in no time.
I just jumped in and gave it a try. A few months had passed since that memorable day in the club. I continued to work on my chin-ups, slowly but steadily. With each passing week, I could feel my strength increasing and my determination growing.
One day, as I approached the chin-up bar, my trainer noticed the determination in my eyes. He smiled and said, “You know, you made a big progress in a such short time. I think it’s time to set a new goal for yourself.” I asked, “What do you have in mind?” He replied, “How about aiming for ten consecutive chin-ups? I believe that you can achieve it with your insistence.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was both excited and nervous about this new challenge. Ten chin-ups seemed like a significant leap from where I had started, but the belief my trainer had in me fueled my determination, I accepted the challenge and got to work. Every morning, I pushed myself harder than before. The numbers slowly climbed: three, four, five and then seven chin-ups. It was challenging, but I remembered the lesson that I had learned. The most difficult tasks can be achieved through consistent effort and belief in oneself.
Finally, one morning, it happened. I pulled myself up to the bar and completed ten consecutive chin-ups. I couldn’t contain my excitement and joy. I felt a profound sense of accomplishment. I achieved my goal through persistence. I had made it a reality. As I continue my fitness journey, I carry this lesson with me: No matter how daunting the obstacle may seem, the belief and persistence can help me overcome it. It’s not just about physical strength but also about mental fortitude and the power of setting and achieving goals.

Nuclear expert Peng Shilu once said that he only did two things in his entire life: one was to build nuclear submarines (核潜艇), and the other to build nuclear power plants. Despite being one of the founding members of China’s nuclear power industry, Peng described himself as playing a tiny role in the task. In fact, he held leading positions in most of China’s early nuclear power projects, from the first-generation nuclear submarines to the establishment of Dayawan and Qinshan nuclear power stations.
Peng was born in 1925 into a family of heroes. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Peng was selected to study chemical machinery (机械) in the Soviet Union. In 1956, when he was about to graduate, he faced a turning point in his life. At that time, the central government decided to select a group of outstanding students studying abroad to transfer to the atomic energy major. Peng willingly agreed, marking the beginning of his lifelong commitment to developing China’s nuclear power.
In 1958, China started to independently develop its own nuclear submarines, and Peng was appointed to take charge of the research and design of the nuclear propulsion system. In the 1980s, China decided to build a commercial nuclear power plant. Appointed as the director-in-chief, Peng once again devoted himself to its preparation and construction.
During his career, Peng held a variety of high-ranking titles. In 1994, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, one of the top academic bodies in China.
Peng passed away in Beijing on March 22, 2021 at the age of 96. The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee awarded the title “Role Model of the Times” to Peng for his contributions.
24.What does the author imply in the first paragraph?

Huang Xuhua, born in 1926 in Guangdong Province, is known as the “Father of China’s Nuclear Submarines.” His pioneering work in the 1960s and 1970s helped lay the foundation for China’s nuclear submarine (核潜艇) program, which played a key role in the country’s defense strategy during a time of intense global pressure.
In 1958, Mr. Huang was appointed as the chief designer for China’s first nuclear submarine project. At that time, China lacked the necessary technology and resources to construct such advanced submarines, and due to international isolation, the team had to rely solely on domestic innovation. Despite these significant challenges, Mr. Huang accepted the mission with determination, driven by the need to safeguard China’s maritime sovereignty (主权) and strengthen its strategic defenses. The greatest hurdle was developing a compact nuclear reactor capable of powering a submarine. With limited expertise in nuclear physics and engineering, Mr. Huang and his team worked tirelessly to design an efficient and reliable reactor, demonstrating his creativity and leadership skills.
After over a decade of hard work, Huang’s team achieved a historic breakthrough in 1970 by launching China’s first nuclear-powered submarine, the Type 091 (Han-class). This meant China became one of the few countries able to build nuclear submarines. Soon after, they developed the Type 092 (Xia-class), China’s first ballistic missile submarine, which boosted the country’s nuclear defense.
Huang’s contributions went beyond technology. His leadership inspired a generation of Chinese scientists and engineers to focus on self-reliance and innovation. Despite the heavy pressure and secrecy surrounding his work, Huang stayed committed to the project, often sacrificing personal comforts for its success. In recognition of his achievements, Huang has received many awards, including the Supreme State Science and Technology Award, China’s highest honor for scientific achievements.
28.What was the biggest challenge in developing China’s first nuclear submarine?
A.Funding missile systems.
B.Lacking the necessary technology and resources.
C.Coordinating international cooperation.
D.Designing a compact nuclear reactor to power a submarine.
29.What is the primary purpose of paragraph 3?
A.To compare the functions of Type 091 and Type 092 submarines.
B.To emphasize the global popularity of Chinese submarine technology.
C.To showcase the technological achievements and their strategic impact.
D.To list the names and launch dates of China’s early nuclear submarines.
30.Which of the following best describe Huang Xuhua?
A.Innovative and patriotic.
B.Talented and courageous.
C.Modest and cooperative.
D.Hard-working and adventurous.

The mystery in northwest China, the grand gallery in the desert, the incomparable art, and extensive and profound culture — everything about Dunhuang could take a visitor’s breath away. All these have charmed generations of people, and they have also brought them to form a firm bond with Dunhuang. Fan Jinshi, whose given name means “beautiful poetry” in Chinese, is one of them.
After graduating from Peking University in 1963, Fan had the chance to work in prosperous big cities. However, she determinedly joined the Research Institute on Cultural Relics of Dunhuang (later renamed the Dunhuang Academy), and worked as a guardian of Mogao Grottoes. At the time of her arrival, it was not a comfortable place to live and did not have electricity or running water. All she could see was barren land. She not only had to adapt to the harsh environment, but also had to endure the long-term separation from her family.
But Fan’s devotion to archaeology, protection and management of grottoes never wavered (动摇), and she has made outstanding contributions to the cause of “protecting, studying and carrying forward” Dunhuang Grottoes through her works. Dunhuang is an old person, an extremely vulnerable old person. It has a lot of illnesses. If you are a little careless, it would be gone, Fan says.
Fan has devoted herself to exploring and researching, and she has written valuable archaeological reports. And as a conservationist, she serves to protect the ancient site from erosion, collapsing and overtourism. In her dozens of years of research in Dunhuang heritage conservation, she has led a team dedicated to the preservation of the world’s cultural heritage, actively engaged in international exchange and cooperation in heritage conservation, introduced advanced conservation concepts and technologies, and built “Digital Dunhuang”. She is known as the “daughter of Dunhuang” for her outstanding contributions to the protection of the Mogao Grottoes. The longer she stayed there, the deeper her love has grown for Dunhuang.
Fan has received the nation at honor of “Outstanding Contributor to the Cultural Heritage Preservation” for her substantial contribution to the permanent preservation and sustainable utilization of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. A minor planet was named after Fan Jinshi at a naming ceremony in Dunhuang to commemorate Fan’s devotion.
32.Why does the author describe Dunhuang’s harsh environment?
A.To highlight the preservation challenges.
B.To contrast with modern living conditions.
C.To illustrate the lack of resources available.
D.To emphasize the remoteness of the location.
33.What motivated Fan Jinshi’s devotion to Dunhuang?
A.Personal fame and recognition. B.Desire for a fashionable lifestyle.
C.Passion for archaeology and culture. D.Family background in Dunhuang studies.
34.What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.Fan Jinshi’s role in international cooperation.
B.The recognition of Fan Jinshi’s achievements.
C.Fan Jinshi’s conservation efforts for Dunhuang.
D.The architectural feature of the Mogao Grottoes.
35.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Failure is the mother of success. B.Devotion leads to great achievement.
C.Youth means limitless possibilities. D.What a man needs most is appreciated.

Stephen Hawking was a scientist known for his work with black holes and relativity, and the author of popular science books like A Brief History of Time.
Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England. 36 The political climate was also tense. The couple was living as Frank Hawking undertook research in medicine.
Hawking’s father wanted him to go into medicine. 37 That was evident to his mother, who, along with her children, often stretched out in the backyard on summer evenings to stare up at the stars. “Stephen always had a strong sense of wonder,” she remembered. “And I could see that the stars would draw him.”
Early in his academic life, Hawking, while recognized as bright, was not an exceptional student. 38 But Hawking focused on pursuits outside of school; he loved board games, and he and a few close friends created new games of their own. During his teens, Hawking, along with several friends, constructed a computer out of recycled parts for solving rudimentary mathematical equations.
39 He would later calculate that he averaged about an hour a day focusing on school. And yet he didn’t really have to do much more than that. In 1962, he graduated with honors in natural science and went on to attend Trinity Hall at the University of Cambridge for a Ph.D.in cosmology.
40 The next few years were a fruitful time for Hawking and his research. In 1973, he published his first, highly-technical book, The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time, with G. F. R. Ellis.
A.Hawking’s birth came at an improper time for his parents, who didn’t have much money.
B.With his sister Mary, Hawking devised different entry routes into the family home.
C.He loved to dance and also took an interest in rowing, becoming a team coxswain (舵手) in college.
D.But at an early age, Hawking showed a passion for science and the sky.
E.By his own account, Hawking didn’t put much time into his studies.
F.In 1968, Hawking became a member of the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge.
G.During his first year at St. Albans School, he was the third from the bottom of his class.

Many children may be fond of animals, but few ever think of making the study of animals as their career. Even fewer will be 41 by the whole world, enjoying the title of United Nations Messenger (使者) of Peace.
But one woman has 42 all that. She has lived with chimps in the African forest for many years and made great discoveries. Jane Goodall’s lifelong 43 in animals began at an early age. By the age of 10 or 11, Goodall 44 going to Africa to live with animals. This was quite a strange dream in those days, as young girls didn’t think of having such “wild” actions. But she was 45 by her mother. She told her that if she really wanted something, she should work hard, take advantage of 46 and never give up looking for a way.
When a close friend invited Goodall to Kenya in 1957, she readily 47 it. Within a few months of her arrival, she met the famous anthropologist (人类学家) Dr Louis Leakey, who soon decided that Goodall was the 48 person he was looking for to begin a 49 of wild chimps on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania.
In the beginning, studying the chimps was not easy for her. The animals fled from her 50 . With a strong 51 , she searched the forest every day, trying not to get too close to the chimps too soon. Gradually the chimps became used to her presence.
In October 1960, she observed a chimp making and using 52 to fish for termites (白蚁). This discovery threw 53 on the popular idea at the time that man was the world’s only toolmaker. The longer Goodall’s research continues, the more it becomes obvious that chimps are very 54 to humans.
Since the mid-1980s, Goodall has been lecturing around the world to raise people’s sense about environmental 55 . “Let’s live in the new age with hope, respect for all living things, understanding and love.” she said.

Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian-American pathologist and bacteriologist (病理兼细菌学家), was born 56 June 14,1868, in Vienna, Austria. He is known for making a 57 (discover) in the identification of blood groups, which was a great breakthrough in medical science.
Working in the lab of Dr. Max von Pettenkofer in Munich, Landsteiner became 58 (addict) to the study of blood. His research led to the classification (分类) of blood into four groups, now known as A, B, AB, and O. This finding was important because it allowed doctors to choose the blood types for transfusions (输血), which saved many lives.
Landsteiner’s work was challenging. In 59 beginning, his finding was met with doubts by the medical community. However, he didn’t give up and continued his research. He kept 60 (try) and it paid off. In 1909, he 61 (award) the Nobel Prize in Medicine for finding out how to figure out blood groups.
62 (further) his research, Landsteiner moved to the United States in 1922 and joined the staff of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research in New York City. There, he continued to contribute a lot to the study of blood.
One of Landsteiner’s most important 63 (contribution) was the development of the Rh factor classification system that was introduced in 1937. It helped to give the reason for 64 some individuals experienced serious reactions during blood transfusions. The Rh factor, along with the ABO blood group system, is now used worldwide to ensure the safety of blood transfusions.
Today, his findings are considered one of the most important in the history of medicine, and he is 65 (true) remembered as the father of modern blood transfusion.

One year ago, I joined a club. Every morning, there was a personal trainer who worked out. He did his routine with such a quiet determination that he made it all look very easy When I wanted to quit, I watched him push himself to his own limits, and I found myself motivated to work hard.
Several weeks ago, I was watching him do chin-ups (引体向上) easily. I asked him if I could try it. I had never tried before. He eagerly stepped aside and encouraged me to step up to the bar. I pulled myself up without thinking... Once... then twice. I had no strength left. I told him that was all I had, so he stepped up behind me and pushed me up for a third and a fourth pull. It felt so good and I smiled from ear to ear.
The next day when I was done with my workout, I asked him to spot me again. Again, I did two. Again, on Day three and so on. I thought it was pitiful that I could only do two, but he said he was impressed with my chin-ups, explaining that most people couldn’t do them at all. Then he told me that if I practised every day, I would be doing five or six in no time.
I just jumped in and gave it a try. A few months had passed since that memorable day in the club. I continued to work on my chin-ups, slowly but steadily. With each passing week, I could feel my strength increasing and my determination growing.
One day, as I approached the chin-up bar, my trainer noticed the determination in my eyes. He smiled and said, “You know, you made a big progress in a such short time. I think it’s time to set a new goal for yourself.” I asked, “What do you have in mind?” He replied, “How about aiming for ten consecutive chin-ups? I believe that you can achieve it with your insistence.
