The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to three scientists for their work on quantum dots (量子点). These are tiny man-made particles (粒子) whose size directly decides their color. Today, this technology is used in our daily lives, from bright TV screens to clear medical imaging.
However, the path to this success was long and challenging. In the early stages, producing quantum dots of high quality was a major problem. The particles created were often uneven and unstable. For one of the winners, Dr. Moungi Bawendi, this was a difficult time. As a young researcher, he faced repeated failures. His experiments frequently produced inconsistent results, far from what he needed.
Faced with these challenges, Dr. Bawendi did not give up. He and his team focused on improving their method. They discovered that controlling the temperature with extreme precision was the key. They worked patiently and paid great attention to every detail in the process. After much effort, they finally succeeded. The sign of their success was a beautiful and clear color change in their solution, showing the creation of perfect quantum dots. This was a victory of persistence and hard work over doubt.
Dr. Bawendi’s story is more than just a scientific achievement; it is a lesson in resilience. It shows that great success is often built upon past failures. His journey inspires us to keep moving forward in the face of difficulties, proving that with a strong will and a love for what we do, even the smallest particles can light up the world.
4. What is the main use of quantum dots mentioned in the text?
A. Creating new colors for paintings. B. Teaching chemistry in schools.
C. Applications in TVs and medical fields. D. Making scientific experiments easier.
5. What was the main difficulty Dr. Bawendi faced in his early research?
A. Other scientists didn’t believe in his idea.
B. He couldn’t get enough money for his work.
C. He couldn’t produce quantum dots of consistent quality.
D. The required temperature was too hard to reach.
6. How did Dr. Bawendi and his team finally solve their problem?
A. By using a completely different chemical.
B. By carefully controlling the temperature.
C. By asking for help from other famous scientists.
D. By using a more powerful computer for analysis.
7. What can we learn from Dr. Bawendi’s story?

Have you ever noticed the elegant, upward-curving edges of a traditional Chinese roof? Far from being merely decorative, this distinctive feature is a profound expression of two core principles in Chinese architecture: harmony between nature and humanity, and adapting to local conditions.
The most recognizable element is the swooping (盘旋式的) roofline. Unlike the straight, sharp lines of Western architecture that seem to challenge the sky, the Chinese roof embraces it. Its curved edges imitate the gentle slopes of distant mountains, creating a soft, graceful outline that blends perfectly with the natural landscape. This design reflects the philosophy of “Tian Ren He Yi” (Unity of Heaven and Man), suggesting that human dwellings should not dominate nature, but exist in peaceful coexistence with it. The wide, overhanging eaves (屋檐) offer practical wisdom too, providing shade from the summer sun while allowing the lower winter sun to warm the interior, and effectively directing rainwater away from the wooden structure.
Furthermore, the principle of “adapting to local conditions” is vividly seen in the roof’s materials. In the rainy south of China, roofs are steeply sloping and often covered with dark, baked clay tiles (瓦片) to ensure efficient water runoff. In the drier, colder north, flatter roofs are common, sometimes even using earth as insulation (隔热材料) against the harsh winters. In forested mountainous areas, roofs might be made of locally sourced wooden shingles (木瓦) or stone slabs (厚板), perfectly integrating the building into its immediate environment.
Therefore, a Chinese roof is much more than a shelter. It is a thoughtful response to its environment, a mediator between the built and the natural world. It teaches us that true beauty in architecture lies not in imposing one’s will upon the land, but in listening to it and responding with respect and ingenuity (匠心).
8. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The history of Chinese roof development.
B. The artistic value of Chinese curved roofs.
C. The differences between roofs in northern and southern China.
D. The cultural ideas and practical needs reflected in Chinese roofs.
9. Why are the wide eaves of a Chinese roof designed according to Paragraph 2?
A. To make the building look more beautiful
B. To deal with sunlight and rain in different seasons
C. To protect the building from strong winds
D. To provide a place for people to rest under the shade
10. Why does the author use the examples of roofs in the south and north?
A. To show Chinese builders were very skillful.
B. To indicate roofs can be made in many different shapes.
C. To explain people in the south are richer than those in the north.
D. To demonstrate building designs change based on local climate and materials.
11. What is the most important lesson that Chinese traditional roofs teach us?
A. The best buildings are the tallest ones.
B. Buildings should use expensive materials.
C. Good design comes from working with nature.
D. The main purpose of a building is to show human creativity.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国传统屋顶的曲线设计所体现的文化理念与实用功能,强调建筑应顺应自然、因地制宜。
【8题详解】

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In the rainy south of China, roofs are steeply sloping and often covered with dark, baked clay tiles (瓦片) to ensure efficient water runoff. In the drier, colder north, flatter roofs are common, sometimes even using earth as insulation (隔热材料) against the harsh winters.(在中国多雨的南方,屋顶坡度很陡,通常覆盖着深色的烤制的粘土瓦,以确保排水效率。在干燥寒冷的北方,平屋顶很常见,有时甚至用泥土作为隔热材料来抵御严寒的冬天)”可知,作者用南方和北方的屋顶为例是为了说明建筑设计会根据当地的气候和材料而变化。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It teaches us that true beauty in architecture lies not in imposing one’s will upon the land, but in listening to it and responding with respect and ingenuity(匠心).(它告诉我们,建筑的真正之美不在于强行改变土地,而在于倾听自然并以尊重与匠心回应)”可知,传统屋顶最重要的启示是优秀的设计源于与自然合作。故选C。
D
In the modern city-state of Singapore, known for its impressive skyline, stands a unique building called Kampung Admiralty. The name is special — “Kampung” is the Malay word for “village”. This building is far more than just concrete and glass; it is a thoughtful experiment in community living, designed to fight loneliness and build strong, caring connections among people.
Singapore, like many countries, has a growing elderly population. The traditional solution was to build separate facilities: a block of flats for seniors here, a medical clinic there, and a shopping center elsewhere. The designers of Kampung Admiralty had a better idea. They piled up all these functions vertically (垂直地), creating a “village within a building”. The lively ground floor plaza, with its food court and shops, acts as the community’s living room. The middle level houses a medical center, providing convenient healthcare. The top levels are reserved for apartments where seniors can live independently.
The true magic of this design is its focus on intergenerational bonding. A bright, cheerful kindergarten is located within the same building. A spacious rooftop garden serves as a common ground, where the old and young meet. Here, they don’t just pass by each other; they interact through shared activities like gardening, storytelling, and simple crafts. The elderly residents find a renewed sense of purpose by sharing their wisdom and experience, while the children learn invaluable lessons about empathy and respect naturally. This daily interaction is a powerful remedy for the loneliness that often affects senior citizens.
Furthermore, the building is integrated with nature. Lush green walls and a rainwater collection system make it eco-friendly. These features not only reduce the building’s environmental impact but also create a calm and healing atmosphere for everyone.
Kampung Admiralty has won international awards for its innovative design. But its real success lies in the lives it has changed. It proves that with compassion and creativity, urban architecture can do more than provide shelter — it can weave a social fabric, creating a place where everyone, from the very young to the very old, feels they belong.
12. What is the primary purpose of the vertical design of Kampung Admiralty?
A. To save construction costs in an expensive city.
B. To combine different community functions into one place.
C. To create more green spaces for environmental protection.
D. To make it a famous international tourist attraction.
13. What does the underlined word “remedy” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. effect B. cause C. solution D. result
14. What is Kampung Admiralty like?
A. Eco-friendly and caring. B. People-focused and expensive.
C. Community-centric and noisy. D. Cost-free and convenient.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Aging Challenge in Modern Singapore
B. Eco-Friendly Architecture: A New Trend
C. Vertical Living: Combining Homes and Hospitals
D. A Village in the Sky: One Building Connecting a Community
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了中国自2025年起增加两天公共假期及相关调休新规。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意:从2025年开始,中国的公共假期增加了两天,总假期天数增加到13天,多于法国的11天和英国的8天,但仍少于世界最高的尼泊尔的39天。根据空后public holidays可知,空处需用形容词性物主代词its修饰名词。故填its。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:根据国务院2024年11月的公告,春节现在包括除夕,劳动节增加了一天。根据空后extra day可知,空处需用不定冠词a/an泛指一天假期,extra是元音音素开头的单词,所以空处需用不定冠词an。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:这一变化回应了人们对更多休闲时间的需求,并有望促进经济发展。respond to“回应”,固定短语。故填to。
【39题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:公共假期现在可以与周末或带薪假期结合,以创造更长的休息时间。空处需用情态动词的被动语态:can be done,表示公共假期被和周末或带薪假期结合到一起。故填be combined。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:此外,除特殊情况外,法定节假日前后的工作日不得超过连续六天。空处需用副词作状语,修饰整个句子,addition的副词为additionally“此外”,句首首字母需大写。故填Additionally。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:调休制度是在1999年亚洲金融危机后引入的,有效地刺激了消费和经济发展。本句已有谓语动词encouraged,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词作后置定语修饰名词system,动词introduce与名词system之间是被动关系,所以空处需用过去分词introduced作后置定语。故填introduced。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:调休制度是在1999年亚洲金融危机后引入的,有效地刺激了消费和经济发展。空处需用形容词作定语修饰名词development,economy的形容词为economic“经济的”。故填economic。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:虽然调休让人们有更多时间旅行,但也扰乱了工作节奏。前后句为转折关系,空处需用让步连词although/though/while,意为“尽管”,引导让步状语从句,且位于句首首字母需大写。故填Although/Though/While。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:其他问题,如买票困难、数小时的交通堵塞和拥挤的旅游景点,也引起了抱怨。lead to“导致”,后接名词作宾语,complain的名词为complaint“抱怨”,此处表示泛指多种抱怨,需用名词复数形式。故填complaints。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:额外的两天假期让人们可以更灵活地使用带薪假期。allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”,固定搭配,所以空处需用动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to use。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Recently, a neighborhood dispute broke out in my community in Changzheng Town. Five Indian tenants (房客/租户), including parents, brothers and a daughter-in-law, lived on the first floor. They planted curry (咖喱) spices in the public green space outside their balcony and often cooked curry, filling the air with a strong spicy smell, which caused conflicts with neighbors. Annoyed by the persistent smell that leaked into their homes even with windows closed, the upstairs residents finally complained to the neighborhood committee.
Ms. Li, the head of the neighborhood committee, visited the site and consulted the legal advisor. She then went to the Indian tenants’ home with the property manager. Since the tenants barely spoke Chinese, Ms. Li used both Chinese and simple English to explain the Civil Code: occupying public green space was not allowed, and the curry smell should not disturb others. The tenants, shocked but cooperative, moved the spices indoors the same day, and promised to cook curry less often. In case they had to, they would notify the upstairs neighbors in advance. Ms. Li also shared the Indian family’s WeChat number with us to keep in touch anytime.
With several weeks going by, the spicy smell faded. However, one evening, when the Indian family was celebrating the son’s birthday, they forgot to inform us, the neighbors upstairs. This time, they cooked a large pot of curry again!
注意:
1. 续写的词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 2: The next moment, I heard a soft knock on my door.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: Preparing for an important exam the next day, I frowned as the familiar smell came floating into my study. I was about to contact them through WeChat, which Ms. Li had shared with us before, when I suddenly realized that it was already late and they might be busy with the celebration. So I decided to wait a little longer before reaching out to them. However, the smell was getting stronger and stronger, making it difficult for me to concentrate on my studies.
Paragraph 2: The next moment, I heard a soft knock on my door. What surprised me was that the Indian family, who were wearing party hats, were standing outside my door with a big cake in their hands. The man, who was the father of the family, apologized sincerely and explained that they had been so caught up in the celebration that they forgot to inform us. He handed me the cake and said, “This is for you. We hope you can forgive us.” I was deeply moved by their kindness and understanding. From then on, we became good neighbors and often shared our cultures and traditions with each other.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了长征镇一个社区发生邻里纠纷的故事。五名印度租户在公共绿地种植咖喱香料并经常烹饪,散发的强烈气味引发了与楼上邻居的冲突。社区居委会主任李女士介入调解,印度租户配合整改,但后来印度租户在儿子生日时忘记提前通知邻居再次烹饪咖喱。
【详解】1. 段落续写:

The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to three scientists for their work on quantum dots (量子点). These are tiny man-made particles (粒子) whose size directly decides their color. Today, this technology is used in our daily lives, from bright TV screens to clear medical imaging.
However, the path to this success was long and challenging. In the early stages, producing quantum dots of high quality was a major problem. The particles created were often uneven and unstable. For one of the winners, Dr. Moungi Bawendi, this was a difficult time. As a young researcher, he faced repeated failures. His experiments frequently produced inconsistent results, far from what he needed.
Faced with these challenges, Dr. Bawendi did not give up. He and his team focused on improving their method. They discovered that controlling the temperature with extreme precision was the key. They worked patiently and paid great attention to every detail in the process. After much effort, they finally succeeded. The sign of their success was a beautiful and clear color change in their solution, showing the creation of perfect quantum dots. This was a victory of persistence and hard work over doubt.
Dr. Bawendi’s story is more than just a scientific achievement; it is a lesson in resilience. It shows that great success is often built upon past failures. His journey inspires us to keep moving forward in the face of difficulties, proving that with a strong will and a love for what we do, even the smallest particles can light up the world.
4. What is the main use of quantum dots mentioned in the text?
A. Creating new colors for paintings. B. Teaching chemistry in schools.
C. Applications in TVs and medical fields. D. Making scientific experiments easier.
5. What was the main difficulty Dr. Bawendi faced in his early research?
A. Other scientists didn’t believe in his idea.
B. He couldn’t get enough money for his work.
C. He couldn’t produce quantum dots of consistent quality.
D. The required temperature was too hard to reach.
6. How did Dr. Bawendi and his team finally solve their problem?
A. By using a completely different chemical.
B. By carefully controlling the temperature.
C. By asking for help from other famous scientists.
D. By using a more powerful computer for analysis.
7. What can we learn from Dr. Bawendi’s story?
A. The best research is always done by young scientists.
B. Luck plays the most important role in big discoveries.
C. Success comes from not giving up and learning from failure.
D. High-technology is the only goal of scientific research.

Have you ever noticed the elegant, upward-curving edges of a traditional Chinese roof? Far from being merely decorative, this distinctive feature is a profound expression of two core principles in Chinese architecture: harmony between nature and humanity, and adapting to local conditions.
The most recognizable element is the swooping (盘旋式的) roofline. Unlike the straight, sharp lines of Western architecture that seem to challenge the sky, the Chinese roof embraces it. Its curved edges imitate the gentle slopes of distant mountains, creating a soft, graceful outline that blends perfectly with the natural landscape. This design reflects the philosophy of “Tian Ren He Yi” (Unity of Heaven and Man), suggesting that human dwellings should not dominate nature, but exist in peaceful coexistence with it. The wide, overhanging eaves (屋檐) offer practical wisdom too, providing shade from the summer sun while allowing the lower winter sun to warm the interior, and effectively directing rainwater away from the wooden structure.
Furthermore, the principle of “adapting to local conditions” is vividly seen in the roof’s materials. In the rainy south of China, roofs are steeply sloping and often covered with dark, baked clay tiles (瓦片) to ensure efficient water runoff. In the drier, colder north, flatter roofs are common, sometimes even using earth as insulation (隔热材料) against the harsh winters. In forested mountainous areas, roofs might be made of locally sourced wooden shingles (木瓦) or stone slabs (厚板), perfectly integrating the building into its immediate environment.
Therefore, a Chinese roof is much more than a shelter. It is a thoughtful response to its environment, a mediator between the built and the natural world. It teaches us that true beauty in architecture lies not in imposing one’s will upon the land, but in listening to it and responding with respect and ingenuity (匠心).
8. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The history of Chinese roof development.
B. The artistic value of Chinese curved roofs.
C. The differences between roofs in northern and southern China.
D. The cultural ideas and practical needs reflected in Chinese roofs.

D
In the modern city-state of Singapore, known for its impressive skyline, stands a unique building called Kampung Admiralty. The name is special — “Kampung” is the Malay word for “village”. This building is far more than just concrete and glass; it is a thoughtful experiment in community living, designed to fight loneliness and build strong, caring connections among people.
Singapore, like many countries, has a growing elderly population. The traditional solution was to build separate facilities: a block of flats for seniors here, a medical clinic there, and a shopping center elsewhere. The designers of Kampung Admiralty had a better idea. They piled up all these functions vertically (垂直地), creating a “village within a building”. The lively ground floor plaza, with its food court and shops, acts as the community’s living room. The middle level houses a medical center, providing convenient healthcare. The top levels are reserved for apartments where seniors can live independently.
The true magic of this design is its focus on intergenerational bonding. A bright, cheerful kindergarten is located within the same building. A spacious rooftop garden serves as a common ground, where the old and young meet. Here, they don’t just pass by each other; they interact through shared activities like gardening, storytelling, and simple crafts. The elderly residents find a renewed sense of purpose by sharing their wisdom and experience, while the children learn invaluable lessons about empathy and respect naturally. This daily interaction is a powerful remedy for the loneliness that often affects senior citizens.
Furthermore, the building is integrated with nature. Lush green walls and a rainwater collection system make it eco-friendly. These features not only reduce the building’s environmental impact but also create a calm and healing atmosphere for everyone.
Kampung Admiralty has won international awards for its innovative design. But its real success lies in the lives it has changed. It proves that with compassion and creativity, urban architecture can do more than provide shelter — it can weave a social fabric, creating a place where everyone, from the very young to the very old, feels they belong.
12. What is the primary purpose of the vertical design of Kampung Admiralty?
A. To save construction costs in an expensive city.
B. To combine different community functions into one place.
C. To create more green spaces for environmental protection.
D. To make it a famous international tourist attraction.
13. What does the underlined word “remedy” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. effect B. cause C. solution D. result
14. What is Kampung Admiralty like?
A. Eco-friendly and caring. B. People-focused and expensive.
C. Community-centric and noisy. D. Cost-free and convenient.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The Aging Challenge in Modern Singapore
B. Eco-Friendly Architecture: A New Trend
C. Vertical Living: Combining Homes and Hospitals
D. A Village in the Sky: One Building Connecting a Community

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Recently, a neighborhood dispute broke out in my community in Changzheng Town. Five Indian tenants (房客/租户), including parents, brothers and a daughter-in-law, lived on the first floor. They planted curry (咖喱) spices in the public green space outside their balcony and often cooked curry, filling the air with a strong spicy smell, which caused conflicts with neighbors. Annoyed by the persistent smell that leaked into their homes even with windows closed, the upstairs residents finally complained to the neighborhood committee.
Ms. Li, the head of the neighborhood committee, visited the site and consulted the legal advisor. She then went to the Indian tenants’ home with the property manager. Since the tenants barely spoke Chinese, Ms. Li used both Chinese and simple English to explain the Civil Code: occupying public green space was not allowed, and the curry smell should not disturb others. The tenants, shocked but cooperative, moved the spices indoors the same day, and promised to cook curry less often. In case they had to, they would notify the upstairs neighbors in advance. Ms. Li also shared the Indian family’s WeChat number with us to keep in touch anytime.
With several weeks going by, the spicy smell faded. However, one evening, when the Indian family was celebrating the son’s birthday, they forgot to inform us, the neighbors upstairs. This time, they cooked a large pot of curry again!
