Xu Guangqi (1562——1633) was a Chinese official of the Ming Dynasty.He was also an agricultural scientist,astronomer, and mathematician.He spent the majority of his time in positions of high office serving the Ming court. He was greatly interested in the European technology, geography, astronomy and mathematics introduced to China by missionaries (传教士).
Xu Guangqi was born in 1562 in Shanghai. He passed the county-level civil service examination at the age of nineteen, and obtained his chin-shih degree, the highest level in the civil service examination, in his thirties. In1604, Xu Guangqi sat for the highest examinations in the country and was appointed to the Hanlin Academy.
In 1625, Xu resigned from his position and returned to Shanghai. He collaborated (协作) with Matteo Ricci,an Italian missionary, on the translation of several classic Western texts into Chinese. Xu Guangqi became the first native of China to publish translations of European books into Chinese. In 1607, they translated the first six books of Euclid's Elements. Ricci would explain the contents of the original text to Xu Guangqi, who would then write down what he understood. Chinese scholars credit Xu with having“started China’ s enlightenment(启蒙运动)”.
The approach to mathematics in these books must have seemed totally alien (陌生的) to Chinese readers,whose traditional approach to mathematics had been highly practical. * The new Chinese terminology which Xu Guangqi had to invent for unfamiliar terms such as“point”, “curve”, “parallel line”, “acute angle”, and“obtuse angle” soon became part of Chinese mathematics,as did the style of the geometric figures, in particular the characters Xu Guangqi chose to label them.
Xu Guangqi wrote Nong Zheng Quan Shu, an outstanding agricultural treatise (论文). Living in troubled times, Xu was devoted as a patriot to aiding the farmers of China. His main interests were in irrigation, fertilizers,famine relief, economic crops, and observation based on experiments with early notions of chemistry. It was an enormous work with some 700,000 Chinese characters,making it seven times as large as the work of previous agricultural books.

A. By telling about Xu Guangqi's interest in science.
B. By presenting Xu Guangqi's influence in the court.
C. By showing Xu Guangqi’ s degree in civil examination.
D. By introducing Xu Guangqi’ s scientific achievements.
2 Why was Xu Guangqi honored to have started China's enlightenment?
A. He was the first to cooperate with a foreigner on scientific studies.
B. He was the pioneer to introduce European books to Chinese people.
C. He set an example in the way of translation from English to Chinese.
D. He showed great interest in the European technological development.

Passage 1 阅读理解 A
徐光启是明朝一位重要人物。他通过科举入仕,在朝廷任职。徐光启对西方知识满怀热忱,辞职回乡后与利玛窦合作翻译西方经典,如《几何原本》。他还著有《农政全书》,为中国学术和农业发展立下不朽功绩。
1. D写作方式题。文章开头写道“徐光启是中国明朝时期的一位官员,也是农学家、天文学家和数学家”,这表明了他在不同科学领域的成就,也就说作者是通过介绍徐光启的科学成就开篇的。
2. B 推理判断题。根据第三段中 Xu Guangqi became the first native of China to publish translations of European books into Chinese.以及他和利玛窦合作翻译《几何原本》等西方经典著作等内容可知,他是将欧洲书籍引入中国的先驱,对中国的知识文化等方面带来了新的内容和思想,这是他被认为开启中国启蒙运动的重要原因。
3. C 推理判断题。根据第四段中 The new Chinese terminology... for unfamiliar terms... soon became part ofChinese mathematics...可知, 原本陌生的西方数学概念得以被中国学者理解和接受,从而降低了传播门槛。由此可推知,徐光启发明的几何术语有助于数学基础概念在中国的传播。
4. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 His main interests were in irrigation, fertilizers, famine relief, economic
参考译文
光启(1562—1633)是中国明朝时期的官员。他徐也是农学家、天文学家和数学家。他一生大部分时间都在明朝宫廷担任要职。他对传教士传入中国的欧洲技术、地理、天文和数学非常感兴趣。
徐光启于1562年出生于上海。他19岁通过了县级科举考试,并在三十多岁时考取进士——科举制度中的最高功名。1604年,徐光启参加殿试并被选入翰林院供职。
1625 年,徐光启辞官回到上海。他与意大利传教士利玛窦合作,将多部西方经典著作翻译成中文。徐光启成为首位将欧洲书籍翻译成中文并出版的中国人。1607 年,他们翻译了欧几里得《几何原本》的前六卷。利玛窦向徐光启讲解原著内容,随后徐光启将自己的理解记录下来。中国学者认为徐光启“开启了中国的启蒙运动”。
这些书籍中的数学研究方法对于中国读者来说一定显得非常陌生,他们传统的数学研究方式高度注重实用。徐光启为“点”“曲线”“平行线”“锐角”和“钝角”等陌生概念所创造的新的中文术语很快便成为中国数学的一部分,同样被接受的还有几何图形的样式,尤其是徐光启选择用来标注这些图形的字符。
徐光启撰写了杰出的农学著作《农政全书》。生活在动荡的时期,徐光启怀揣爱国热忱,致力于扶助中国农民。他的研究重点集中在农田水利、肥料应用、饥荒救济、经济作物培育以及基于带有早期化学概念的实验所进行的实践操作。这部鸿篇巨制规模空前,全书约70万字,篇幅是此前农学著作的7倍。

The wheelbarrow is a brilliant invention that originated in ancient China.
According to the“Records of the Three Kingdoms,” written by Chinese scholar ChenShou in the third century CE, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms Period, Zhuge Liang, invented a new form of wheelbarrow as a form of military technology. Zhuge Liang needed an efficient way for a single person to transport enormous quantities of food and munitions(军需品) to the front lines, so he came up with the idea of making a“wooden ox” with a single wheel. By using a simple lever (杠杆) and combining it with a single wheel, the wheelbarrow revolutionized transportation methods, saving time and manpower.
The design of the early Chinese wheelbarrow consisted of a wooden box or platform supported by a single large wheel. The long handles at the back of the platform provided the operator with control over the wheelbarrow's movement. By simply pushing or pulling the handles, individuals could transport goods more quickly and easily, significantly increasing productivity.
Chinese inventors continuously improved the wheelbarrow's design over time. They added enhancements(增强) such as larger wheels, more durable materials,and even gearing (齿轮传动) mechanisms. These improvements further increased the wheelbarrow's efficiency and capacity, making it an indispensable tool for daily life.
The benefits of the Chinese wheelbarrow quickly spread beyond China's borders. As ancient trade routes expanded, the wheelbarrow found its way to neighboring countries and regions, helping to stimulate economic growth and development. * The device gradually reached Europe during the Middle Ages, where it was widely embraced and served as a foundation for the development of new and advanced transportation methods.
The invention of the wheelbarrow in ancient China has left an indelible mark on human civilization. Its simple yet effective design revolutionized labor-intensive tasks,paving the way for progress in various fields. Even today,the wheelbarrow remains an essential tool in construction,gardening, and agriculture, proving the lasting impact of this ingenious invention.
1 Why was the wheelbarrow a revolutionary means of transportation?
A. It brought high efficiency to transportation.
B. Wheels were first used to deliver heavy loads.
C. Carts were used to transport military supplies.
D. A lever was used to make the device go faster.
2 What can we infer from the development of the wheelbarrow?
A. The wheelbarrow relies on the handles to move.
B. Chinese people were creative to make inventions.
C. People can't live well without wheelbarrows.
D. Relevant technologies make an invention perfect.
3 What is mainly talked about inParagraph5?
A. The Chinese wheelbarrow helped economic growth in Asian countries.
B. The Chinese wheelbarrow gained popularity in Europe in the Middle Ages.
C. The invention of the Chinese wheelbarrow brought the world forward.
D. Merchants took the Chinese wheelbarrow to neighboring countries.

参考译文
独轮手推车是一项源自中国古代的杰出发明。
据公元3世纪中国学者陈寿所著的《三国志》记载,三国时期蜀汉的丞相诸葛亮发明了一种新型独轮手推车,作为一种军事技术。诸葛亮需要一种能让单人高效地将大量粮食和军需品运往前线的方法,于是他想到了制造一种只有一个轮子的“木牛”。通过使用简单的杠杆原理并将其与单个轮子相结合,这种独轮手推车彻底改变了运输方式,节省了时间和人力。
中国早期独轮手推车的设计是由一个大的轮子支撑起一个木箱或平台组成。平台后方的长把手方便操控者控制独轮车的移动。人们只需推拉把手,就能更轻松快捷地运输货物,极大地提高了生产效率。
随着时间的推移,中国发明家不断改进独轮手推车的设计。他们进行了一些改进,如加大车轮尺寸、采用更耐用的材料,甚至添加了齿轮传动装置。这些改进进一步提升了独轮手推车的效率与载重量,使其成为日常生活中不可或缺的工具

The Song Dynasty was a time of extraordinary innovation and achievement in Chinese history.The Song reunited China under the Song in 960after the fragmentation of the Tang Dynasty. 1 .Breakthroughs in printing, navigation, timekeeping,weaponry, and countless other fields reshaped Chinese society and had ripple effects across Eurasia and beyond.
2 . Building on earlier Chinese innovations in paper-making and woodblock printing, an artisan named Bi Sheng developed the world's first movable type printing press around 1040. Bi Sheng's clay type pieces, which were hardened by firing, could be arranged within an iron frame, inked, and pressed onto paper to mass-produce printed pages.Later Song printers experimented with wood, tin, and bronze movable type.
3 . The new printing method was far more efficient than block printing.* According to Shen Kuo, a polymath scientist who recorded Bi Sheng's invention, a single block-printed page took a craftsman a day to carve, while" several hundred" movable type pieces could be arranged in a day.
The result was an explosion in the supply of affordable printed books during the Song. Government-sponsored printing houses were established in major cities, producing classics, histories, poetry, and official documents. 4 . They helped make novels, encyclopedias, and how-to guides spread widely.By 1000, the Song imperial library held 80,000 volumes; the modern historian Lucille Chia estimates that over 200,000 different books were printed during the Northern and Southern Song.
The wide circulation of printed books fueled a renaissance in literature and learning. Literacy and classical education spread beyond the traditional aristocratic elite to more well-to-do commoners. The famed Song poet Su Shi celebrated the democratizing effect of print:“ 5 ; this was not the case before the invention of printing blocks and movable type.” The renowned Neo- Confucian philosopher Zhu Xi established a canon of Confucian texts that, in mass-printed form, shaped Chinese thought for centuries.
阅读短文,从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。
A. Movable type was revolutionary
B. Scholars could obtain books very easily
C. Private printers and booksellers also flourished
D. Type printing was easy and handled in several procedures
E. The emperors continued the social system of the Tang Dynasty
F. One of the most far-reaching Song inventions was movable type printing
G. It emerged as one of the most technologically advanced civilizations in the world

参考译文
宋朝是中国历史上一个充满非凡创新与成就的时代。唐朝分裂后,宋朝于公元960 年重新统一了中国。它成为世界上科技最先进的文明之一。在印刷、航海、计时、武器以及无数其他领域的突破重塑了中国社会,并在欧亚大陆和更远的地区产生了连锁反应。
宋朝最具深远影响的发明之一是活字印刷术。在早期中国造纸术和雕版印刷术创新的基础上,一位名叫毕昇的工匠在公元1040年左右研制出了世界上第一台活字印刷机。毕昇的黏土字块,通过烧制硬化,可以排列在一个铁框架内,涂上油墨,然后压印在纸张上,以实现书页的大规模印刷。后来宋朝的印刷工匠尝试了用木头、锡和青铜制作活字。
活字印刷具有革命性意义。这种新的印刷方法比雕版印刷高效得多。据记录毕昇发明的博学科学家沈括记载,一名工匠雕刻一张雕版印刷书页需要一天时间,而“数百个”活字字块一日便可排好。
其结果是,宋朝时期价格亲民的印刷书籍供应量激增。各大城市都建立了官方主办的印刷厂 印制经典著作、历史书籍、诗歌和官方文件。私人印刷商和书商也蓬勃发展。他们助力小说、百科全书和实用指南广泛传播。到公元1000年,宋朝皇家图书馆藏书达8万卷;现代历史学家贾晋珠估计,在北宋和南宋时期,有超过20万种不同书籍被印刷出来。
印刷书籍的广泛流通推动了文学和学术的复兴。识
字和古典教育从传统的贵族精英阶层传播到更多富裕的平民阶层。宋代著名诗人苏轼盛赞印刷术的民主化影响:“书生易得书;在雕版印刷和活字印刷发明之前,情况并非如此。”著名的新儒家哲学家朱熹整理了儒家经典文本,通过大量印刷,影响了几个世纪以来的中国思想。

Chinese students are no 1 (strange) to the 240multiplication(乘法) table. Known as jiujiu biao (Nine-nines rhyme), the multiplication table was already very popular as early as the seventh century BC in China according to historical records. It was titled this because when it 2 (teach), one would start with“nine times nine(9×9)” and work his or her way down to“1×1”. In today’ s schools in China, students start with“1×1” and work their way up.
Recent archaeological finds show that a multiplication table 3 (find) at the Gurendi cultural relics of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Zhangjiajie of Central China’ s Hunan Province was ____4____(amazing)consistent with the table of today, although the handwriting on the table is quite illegible (模糊难辨的).

本文介绍了中国人应用九九乘法表的历史。
1. strangers 考查名词。 be no stranger to 是固定搭配,意为“对……不陌生”,这里表示中国学生对乘法口诀表不陌生。主语中的 students为复数, 因此 stranger也要用复数形式。
2. was taught 考查时态和语态。分析句子结构可知, it指代 the multiplication table, 与 teach 之间是被动关系,即“乘法表被教授”,且根据上下文可知说的是过去的情况,故用一般过去时的被动语态 was taught。
3. found 考查非谓语动词。句子的谓语动词是 was,find处于非谓语的位置, 且 multiplication table与 find之间是被动关系,因此填过去分词形式,作后置定语。表示“在张家界古仁地东汉文化遗址中被发现的乘法表”, 故用 found。
4. amazingly 考查副词。此处需要用副词来修饰形容词 consistent, 故填 amazingly。
5. which考查定语从句。分析可知,此处是说竹简被发现时是断的,空处用 which引导非限制性定语从句,对 strip进行补充说明。
6. with 考查介词。 with意为“带着;上面有”, 介词短语作 bamboo strip的定语,表示“刻有乘法表的竹简”。
7. earliest 考查形容词。根据语境及空前的 the 可知,此处表示“最早的”,要用形容词最高级形式 earliest。
8. to invent 考查非谓语动词。“the only+名词+ to do sth”是固定结构,此处表示“唯一发明乘法表的人”,故填 to invent。
9. the 考查冠词。根据前半句内容可知,此处 traditional Chinese multiplication table是特指中国古代的“乘法表”,因此用定冠词 the。
10. and 考查连词。 remembered和 used是并列关系, 表示乘法表被记住和被使用,所以应填并列连词 and。

★ Previously, another 2,200-year-old bamboo strip from the Qin Dynasty with the carving of the multiplicationtable was found in Liye Ancient City in western Hunan Province, which is the earliest calculation table ever found in China.此前,在湖南省西部的里耶古城还发现了另一块有着2200年历史的、刻有乘法口诀表的秦代竹简,它是中国迄今为止发现的最早的乘法表。which引导非限制性定语从句,补充说明 the multiplicationtable。 ever found in China 为过去分词短语作后置定语, 修饰 calculation table。
参考译文
中国学生对乘法口诀并不陌生。根据历史记载,早在公元前7世纪,中国就已经非常流行乘法口诀表,称为“九九表”。之所以这样命名,是因为在教授时,人们会从“九九八十一”开始,逐渐向下学习到“一一得—”。在今天的中国学校里,学生们则从“——得一”开始,逐渐向上学习。
最近的考古发现表明,在中国中部湖南省张家界古人堤东汉文化遗址中发现的一块乘法口诀表与今天的口诀表惊人的一致,尽管该乘法表上的字迹非常模糊难辨。这个口诀表是在一块22厘米长的木简上发现的,发现时已经断裂。此前,在湖南省西部的里耶古城发现了一块有着2200年历史的、刻有乘法口诀表的秦代竹简,该竹简上的乘法表是中国迄今为止发现的最早的乘法表。另一个乘法口诀表是在楼兰遗址的文献中发现的,它写在两张纸上,是在一个世纪前由瑞典探险家斯文·赫定发现的。
古代中国人并不是唯一发明乘法口诀表的民族,因为古代巴比伦的泥板上也发现了乘法表。由于汉字的发音是单音节的,所以传统的中国乘法口诀表读起来朗朗上口,易于记忆和使用。

Xu Guangqi (1562——1633) was a Chinese official of the Ming Dynasty.He was also an agricultural scientist,astronomer, and mathematician.He spent the majority of his time in positions of high office serving the Ming court. He was greatly interested in the European technology, geography, astronomy and mathematics introduced to China by missionaries (传教士).
Xu Guangqi was born in 1562 in Shanghai. He passed the county-level civil service examination at the age of nineteen, and obtained his chin-shih degree, the highest level in the civil service examination, in his thirties. In1604, Xu Guangqi sat for the highest examinations in the country and was appointed to the Hanlin Academy.
In 1625, Xu resigned from his position and returned to Shanghai. He collaborated (协作) with Matteo Ricci,an Italian missionary, on the translation of several classic Western texts into Chinese. Xu Guangqi became the first native of China to publish translations of European books into Chinese. In 1607, they translated the first six books of Euclid's Elements. Ricci would explain the contents of the original text to Xu Guangqi, who would then write down what he understood. Chinese scholars credit Xu with having“started China’ s enlightenment(启蒙运动)”.
The approach to mathematics in these books must have seemed totally alien (陌生的) to Chinese readers,whose traditional approach to mathematics had been highly practical. * The new Chinese terminology which Xu Guangqi had to invent for unfamiliar terms such as“point”, “curve”, “parallel line”, “acute angle”, and“obtuse angle” soon became part of Chinese mathematics,as did the style of the geometric figures, in particular the characters Xu Guangqi chose to label them.
Xu Guangqi wrote Nong Zheng Quan Shu, an outstanding agricultural treatise (论文). Living in troubled times, Xu was devoted as a patriot to aiding the farmers of China. His main interests were in irrigation, fertilizers,famine relief, economic crops, and observation based on experiments with early notions of chemistry. It was an enormous work with some 700,000 Chinese characters,making it seven times as large as the work of previous agricultural books.

The wheelbarrow is a brilliant invention that originated in ancient China.
According to the“Records of the Three Kingdoms,” written by Chinese scholar ChenShou in the third century CE, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms Period, Zhuge Liang, invented a new form of wheelbarrow as a form of military technology. Zhuge Liang needed an efficient way for a single person to transport enormous quantities of food and munitions(军需品) to the front lines, so he came up with the idea of making a“wooden ox” with a single wheel. By using a simple lever (杠杆) and combining it with a single wheel, the wheelbarrow revolutionized transportation methods, saving time and manpower.
The design of the early Chinese wheelbarrow consisted of a wooden box or platform supported by a single large wheel. The long handles at the back of the platform provided the operator with control over the wheelbarrow's movement. By simply pushing or pulling the handles, individuals could transport goods more quickly and easily, significantly increasing productivity.
Chinese inventors continuously improved the wheelbarrow's design over time. They added enhancements(增强) such as larger wheels, more durable materials,and even gearing (齿轮传动) mechanisms. These improvements further increased the wheelbarrow's efficiency and capacity, making it an indispensable tool for daily life.
The benefits of the Chinese wheelbarrow quickly spread beyond China's borders. As ancient trade routes expanded, the wheelbarrow found its way to neighboring countries and regions, helping to stimulate economic growth and development. * The device gradually reached Europe during the Middle Ages, where it was widely embraced and served as a foundation for the development of new and advanced transportation methods.
The invention of the wheelbarrow in ancient China has left an indelible mark on human civilization. Its simple yet effective design revolutionized labor-intensive tasks,paving the way for progress in various fields. Even today,the wheelbarrow remains an essential tool in construction,gardening, and agriculture, proving the lasting impact of this ingenious invention.

A. It brought high efficiency to transportation.
B. Wheels were first used to deliver heavy loads.
C. Carts were used to transport military supplies.
D. A lever was used to make the device go faster.
2 What can we infer from the development of the wheelbarrow?
A. The wheelbarrow relies on the handles to move.
B. Chinese people were creative to make inventions.
C. People can't live well without wheelbarrows.
D. Relevant technologies make an invention perfect.
3 What is mainly talked about inParagraph5?
A. The Chinese wheelbarrow helped economic growth in Asian countries.
B. The Chinese wheelbarrow gained popularity in Europe in the Middle Ages.

The Song Dynasty was a time of extraordinary innovation and achievement in Chinese history.The Song reunited China under the Song in 960after the fragmentation of the Tang Dynasty. 1 .Breakthroughs in printing, navigation, timekeeping,weaponry, and countless other fields reshaped Chinese society and had ripple effects across Eurasia and beyond.
2 . Building on earlier Chinese innovations in paper-making and woodblock printing, an artisan named Bi Sheng developed the world's first movable type printing press around 1040. Bi Sheng's clay type pieces, which were hardened by firing, could be arranged within an iron frame, inked, and pressed onto paper to mass-produce printed pages.Later Song printers experimented with wood, tin, and bronze movable type.
3 . The new printing method was far more efficient than block printing.* According to Shen Kuo, a polymath scientist who recorded Bi Sheng's invention, a single block-printed page took a craftsman a day to carve, while" several hundred" movable type pieces could be arranged in a day.
The result was an explosion in the supply of affordable printed books during the Song. Government-sponsored printing houses were established in major cities, producing classics, histories, poetry, and official documents. 4 . They helped make novels, encyclopedias, and how-to guides spread widely.By 1000, the Song imperial library held 80,000 volumes; the modern historian Lucille Chia estimates that over 200,000 different books were printed during the Northern and Southern Song.
The wide circulation of printed books fueled a renaissance in literature and learning. Literacy and classical education spread beyond the traditional aristocratic elite to more well-to-do commoners. The famed Song poet Su Shi celebrated the democratizing effect of print:“ 5 ; this was not the case before the invention of printing blocks and movable type.” The renowned Neo- Confucian philosopher Zhu Xi established a canon of Confucian texts that, in mass-printed form, shaped Chinese thought for centuries.
