Born on November 29, 1994, in a small farming village in Zhoukou, Henan Province,Zhu grew up in an ordinary family. Her parents were farmers, and as a child, she often helped them with heavy farm work. She never heard of any complaints in her family. As a result, she became hard-working and never complained. Later, her special height(she reached about 1.7 meters at age 12) caught the attention of a local sports coach, who encouraged her to try volleyball. Zhu worked tirelessly,practicing basic skills for hours every day after school. Her hard work paid off when she joined the Chinese national team in 2013. At just 19 years old, she quickly became a key player because of her great jumping ability. In the 2015 World Cup, she led China to victory. The following year, at the Rio Olympics, Zhu Ting dominated the court,helping China beat strong opponents (对手) like Brazil and Serbia. Her outstanding performance earned her the title of MVP, making her a national hero. Unluckily, injuries (损伤) began to affect her career. During the Tokyo and Paris Olympics, she struggled with wrist and ankle problems, limiting her playing time. Yet, she remained an important leader, guiding younger teammates with her competition experience and rich knowledge. At the same time, she focused on training, often staying late to perfect her skills. This year, at 31 — an age when many athletes stop their careers — Zhu Ting led her Italian club to victory in both the Italian League and the Champions League. Zhu Ting is not just a champion; she is a symbol of perseverance (毅力) and teamwork. ( ) 11. What effect did Zhu’s family have on her? A. They taught her how to deal with farm work. B. They paid great attention to the food she ate. C. They made her work hard without complaints. D. They spent a large amount of money supporting her. ( ) 12. What made Zhu one of the main players in the Chinese national team? A. Her ability to jump. B. Her ability to lead. C. Her hard work in training. D. Her super height and fast speed. ( ) 13. What affected Zhu’s playing time at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics? A. Her growing age. B. The shortage of money. C. Her wrist and ankle injuries. D. More difficulties in competitions. ( ) 14. How did Zhu help the team besides scoring for it? A. By staying late to train younger teammates. B. By guiding younger teammates to fight against injuries. C. By sharing her game experience with younger teammates. D. By showing her grades in international competitions before. ( ) 15. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To show the importance of teamwork. B. To encourage people to play volleyball. C. To warn people about the dangers of sports. D. To introduce a great volleyball player in China. B Jeme Tien Yow was a great engineer in China. He led the successful building of the railway from Beijing to Zhangjiakou, the first railway completely designed (设计) and built by Chinese engineers. The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, about 200 kilometers long, was an important route in China. When the Qing government planned to build it, foreign countries tried to stop the project, each wanting control over the railway to gain power in northern China. After a long discussion, they finally said,“If China uses its own engineers, we won’t stop the project.”They believed China couldn’t succeed without foreign help. But they were wrong — China already had its own engineers, including Jeme Tien Yow. In 1905, the Qing government appointed Jeme as the chief engineer. The news excited the nation, but foreigners laughed. One foreign newspaper even wrote,“No Chinese engineer can build a railway through the mountains north of Nankou.”The area was full of high mountains and deep valleys, making the project very difficult. Jeme encouraged his team, saying,“Our work must be precise. Words like‘almost’ or‘close enough’ are unacceptable.”He worked outdoors in difficult conditions, climbing mountains and making measurements (测量) carefully. At night, he studied maps carefully. He often asked local farmers for advice and tried his best to show that China could build its own railway. The most difficult parts were the Juyongguan and Badaling tunnels.Jeme used smart methods to dig them faster. When the tunnel was filled with mud and water, he went to help himself. Near the Qinglong Bridge,the steep slope (陡坡) made it hard for trains to climb, so he designed a zigzag track (之字形轨道) to help trains climb safely. The railway was completed in less than four years, two years earlier than the plan. It was a great achievement. Today, a statue of Jeme stands at Qinglong Bridge Station in memory of the great engineer. ( ) 16. Why did the foreign countries allow the Qing government to build the railway? A. They wanted to control China through the railway. B. They thought the Chinese couldn’t succeed by themselves. C. They believed the Chinese didn’t have enough money and workers. D. They hoped the Chinese would share the experience of success with them. ( ) 17. What can we learn from the foreign newspaper mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. Foreigners tried to make the railways project hard. B. Foreigners raised great doubts about Jeme’s ability. C. Foreigners were happy with China’s railway project. D. Foreigners had no idea how to deal with the mountains. ( ) 18. What does the underlined word“precise”in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Exact. B. Hard. C. Fast. D. Safe. ( ) 19. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Jeme’s ability to study and draw maps. B. Jeme’s special way of raising workers’ spirits. C. Jeme’s knowledge in building bridges over railways. D. Jeme’s hard work and intelligence in building railways. ( ) 20. What does Jeme’s story show us? A. Better late than never. B. Many hands make light work. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. C Chinese scientists have made a detailed map of rice genes (基因), including both wild and farmed types. This work will help develop better rice to fight food shortages and environmental problems. The study was published in Nature magazine. Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences studied 145 rice samples (样本), mostly wild rice.Using advanced technology, they created a “pangenome”— a complete collection of rice genes. This map includes a lot of genes found only in wild rice. Lead scientist Han Bin explained that earlier studies used only one rice sample, which couldn’t show all genetic differences. The new pangenome helps scientists study wild rice’s differences, shaped by nature over thousands of years. They studied wild rice as it has special traits (特征) to help it to live in difficult conditions. Michelle Trenkmann from Nature said,“Wild rice has many resistance genes (抗病基因). These can help improve crops, which is important for future food safety.” The gene map includes over 69,000 genes. About 20% are only in wild rice and help rice fight diseases or get used to different environments.Scientists found wild rice has more disease-resistant genes than farmed rice.“This shows that wild rice can provide important genes to develop stronger rice types,”Han said. Rice is food for about 60% of the world’s people. China is the top rice producer and a leader in rice science. With this new gene map, scientists can now find useful genes in wild rice, learn about where important genes come from, and understand how rice gets used to different environments. Han added that this research will help create new rice types that resist diseases better, grow better in difficult conditions and produce more rice.This breakthrough connects lab discoveries to real-world farming, providing solutions for future food challenges. ( ) 21. What did scientists do to make the“pangenome”? A. They read a lot of papers in Nature. B. They collected information on farmed rice genes. C. They studied many rice samples with new technology. D. They used a gene map to express different kinds of rice. ( ) 22. Why was wild rice chosen to be studied? A. It is safer for the future environment. B. It can fight against bad living environments. C. It can show genetic differences in all kinds of rice. D. It has been shaped by nature for hundreds of years. ( ) 23. What can we learn from the gene map? A. It includes about 145 wild rice genes. B. It was created by Michelle Trenkmann. C. About 13,800 genes in it are in wild rice. D. It shows how farmed rice fights against diseases. ( ) 24. What’s Han’s opinion on studying wild rice? A. It is the key to producing more rice. B. It costs too much but makes little sense. C. It helps scientists develop better rice types. D. It helps choose the best environment for rice. ( ) 25. In which part of a newspaper can you probably read this passage? A. Life. B. Health. C. Travel. D. Science. 第二节 短文填空 以下是一篇短文。请阅读全文并从下列方框里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。（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分） A great mind means thinking deeply and making wise decisions.

This work will help develop better rice to fight food shortages and environmental problems. The study was published in Nature magazine. Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences studied 145 rice samples (样本), mostly wild rice.Using advanced technology, they created a “pangenome”— a complete collection of rice genes. This map includes a lot of genes found only in wild rice. Lead scientist Han Bin explained that earlier studies used only one rice sample, which couldn’t show all genetic differences. The new pangenome helps scientists study wild rice’s differences, shaped by nature over thousands of years. They studied wild rice as it has special traits (特征) to help it to live in difficult conditions. Michelle Trenkmann from Nature said,“Wild rice has many resistance genes (抗病基因). These can help improve crops, which is important for future food safety.” The gene map includes over 69,000 genes. About 20% are only in wild rice and help rice fight diseases or get used to different environments.Scientists found wild rice has more disease-resistant genes than farmed rice.“This shows that wild rice can provide important genes to develop stronger rice types,”Han said. Rice is food for about 60% of the world’s people. China is the top rice producer and a leader in rice science. With this new gene map, scientists can now find useful genes in wild rice, learn about where important genes come from, and understand how rice gets used to different environments. Han added that this research will help create new rice types that resist diseases better, grow better in difficult conditions and produce more rice.This breakthrough connects lab discoveries to real-world farming, providing solutions for future food challenges. ( ) 21. What did scientists do to make the“pangenome”? A. They read a lot of papers in Nature. B. They collected information on farmed rice genes. C. They studied many rice samples with new technology. D. They used a gene map to express different kinds of rice. ( ) 22. Why was wild rice chosen to be studied? A. It is safer for the future environment. B. It can fight against bad living environments. C. It can show genetic differences in all kinds of rice. D. It has been shaped by nature for hundreds of years. ( ) 23. What can we learn from the gene map? A. It includes about 145 wild rice genes. B. It was created by Michelle Trenkmann. C. About 13,800 genes in it are in wild rice. D. It shows how farmed rice fights against diseases. ( ) 24. What’s Han’s opinion on studying wild rice? A. It is the key to producing more rice. B. It costs too much but makes little sense. C. It helps scientists develop better rice types. D. It helps choose the best environment for rice. ( ) 25. In which part of a newspaper can you probably read this passage? A. Life. B. Health. C. Travel. D. Science. 答案 21-25：C B C C D 解析 1.第 21 题：根据第二段 “Scientists... studied 145 rice samples... Using advanced technology, they created a ‘pangenome’” 可知，科学家通过用新技术研究大量水稻样本制作泛基因组，A “读论文”、B “收集栽培稻基因信息”、D “用基因图谱表达水稻种类” 均不符合，故选 C。 2.第 22 题：第三段 “they studied wild rice as it has special traits to help it to live in difficult conditions” 表明，野生稻能应对恶劣环境，A “对环境更安全”、C “展示所有水稻基因差异”、D “被自然塑造数百年”（原文是数千年）均不符，故选 B。 3.第 23 题：第五段 “The gene map includes over 69,000 genes. About 20% are only in wild rice”，69000×20%=13800，即约 13800 个基因仅存在于野生稻中。A “145 个野生稻基因”（145 是样本数）、B “由 Michelle 创建”（Michelle 是 Nature 杂志人员）、D “展示栽培稻抗病方式”（原文说野生稻抗病基因更多）均错，故选 C。 4.第 24 题：第五段 Han 提到 “wild rice can provide important genes to develop stronger rice types”，即研究野生稻帮助开发更好的水稻品种，A “是增产关键”（文中未提 “关键”）、B “成本高无意义”（与原文相反）、D “选择最佳环境”（文中是了解水稻适应环境）均不符，故选 C。 5.第 25 题：文章围绕中国科学家绘制水稻基因图谱展开，属于 “科学” 领域，A “生活”、B “健康”、C “旅行” 均不匹配，故选 D。 第二节 短文填空 以下是一篇短文。请阅读全文并从下列方框里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。（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分） A great mind means thinking deeply and making wise decisions.

Born on November 29, 1994, in a small farming village in Zhoukou, Henan Province,Zhu grew up in an ordinary family. Her parents were farmers, and as a child, she often helped them with heavy farm work. She never heard of any complaints in her family. As a result, she became hard-working and never complained. Later, her special height(she reached about 1.7 meters at age 12) caught the attention of a local sports coach, who encouraged her to try volleyball. Zhu worked tirelessly,practicing basic skills for hours every day after school. Her hard work paid off when she joined the Chinese national team in 2013. At just 19 years old, she quickly became a key player because of her great jumping ability. In the 2015 World Cup, she led China to victory. The following year, at the Rio Olympics, Zhu Ting dominated the court,helping China beat strong opponents (对手) like Brazil and Serbia. Her outstanding performance earned her the title of MVP, making her a national hero. Unluckily, injuries (损伤) began to affect her career. During the Tokyo and Paris Olympics, she struggled with wrist and ankle problems, limiting her playing time. Yet, she remained an important leader, guiding younger teammates with her competition experience and rich knowledge. At the same time, she focused on training, often staying late to perfect her skills. This year, at 31 — an age when many athletes stop their careers — Zhu Ting led her Italian club to victory in both the Italian League and the Champions League. Zhu Ting is not just a champion; she is a symbol of perseverance (毅力) and teamwork. ( ) 11. What effect did Zhu’s family have on her? A. They taught her how to deal with farm work. B. They paid great attention to the food she ate. C. They made her work hard without complaints. D. They spent a large amount of money supporting her. ( ) 12. What made Zhu one of the main players in the Chinese national team? A. Her ability to jump. B. Her ability to lead. C. Her hard work in training. D. Her super height and fast speed. ( ) 13. What affected Zhu’s playing time at the Tokyo and Paris Olympics? A. Her growing age. B. The shortage of money. C. Her wrist and ankle injuries. D. More difficulties in competitions. ( ) 14. How did Zhu help the team besides scoring for it? A. By staying late to train younger teammates. B. By guiding younger teammates to fight against injuries. C. By sharing her game experience with younger teammates. D. By showing her grades in international competitions before. ( ) 15. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To show the importance of teamwork. B. To encourage people to play volleyball. C. To warn people about the dangers of sports.D. To introduce a great volleyball player in China. B Jeme Tien Yow was a great engineer in China. He led the successful building of the railway from Beijing to Zhangjiakou, the first railway completely designed (设计) and built by Chinese engineers. The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, about 200 kilometers long, was an important route in China. When the Qing government planned to build it, foreign countries tried to stop the project, each wanting control over the railway to gain power in northern China. After a long discussion, they finally said,“If China uses its own engineers, we won’t stop the project.”They believed China couldn’t succeed without foreign help. But they were wrong — China already had its own engineers, including Jeme Tien Yow. In 1905, the Qing government appointed Jeme as the chief engineer. The news excited the nation, but foreigners laughed. One foreign newspaper even wrote,“No Chinese engineer can build a railway through the mountains north of Nankou.”The area was full of high mountains and deep valleys, making the project very difficult. Jeme encouraged his team, saying,“Our work must be precise. Words like‘almost’ or‘close enough’ are unacceptable.”He worked outdoors in difficult conditions, climbing mountains and making measurements (测量) carefully. At night, he studied maps carefully. He often asked local farmers for advice and tried his best to show that China could build its own railway. The most difficult parts were the Juyongguan and Badaling tunnels.Jeme used smart methods to dig them faster. When the tunnel was filled with mud and water, he went to help himself. Near the Qinglong Bridge,the steep slope (陡坡) made it hard for trains to climb, so he designed a zigzag track (之字形轨道) to help trains climb safely. The railway was completed in less than four years, two years earlier than the plan. It was a great achievement. Today, a statue of Jeme stands at Qinglong Bridge Station in memory of the great engineer. ( ) 16. Why did the foreign countries allow the Qing government to build the railway? A. They wanted to control China through the railway. B. They thought the Chinese couldn’t succeed by themselves. C. They believed the Chinese didn’t have enough money and workers. D. They hoped the Chinese would share the experience of success with them. ( ) 17. What can we learn from the foreign newspaper mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. Foreigners tried to make the railways project hard. B. Foreigners raised great doubts about Jeme’s ability. C. Foreigners were happy with China’s railway project. D. Foreigners had no idea how to deal with the mountains. ( ) 18. What does the underlined word“precise”in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Exact. B. Hard. C. Fast. D. Safe. ( ) 19. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Jeme’s ability to study and draw maps. B. Jeme’s special way of raising workers’ spirits. C. Jeme’s knowledge in building bridges over railways. D. Jeme’s hard work and intelligence in building railways. ( ) 20. What does Jeme’s story show us? A. Better late than never. B. Many hands make light work. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. C Chinese scientists have made a detailed map of rice genes (基因), including both wild and farmed types.
