In 1935, he told his parents his ambition to “win the Nobel Prize one day,” a childlike “bold statement” that later became a reality in 1957, making him one of the first two Chinese Nobel Prize winners. In 1945, he was chosen as a government-sponsored student from Tsinghua University to study in the United States. In 1948, he obtained his doctorate. During his time at the University of Chicago, he was deeply influenced by Professor Enrico Fermi. Later, recommended by Fermi, he joined the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1949, starting a brilliant academic career. Although he lived abroad, he always cared about his motherland. Learning that China’s atomic bomb was developed independently, he was deeply moved to tears. In 1980, he set up the “Committee on Scholarly Exchange with China,” sponsoring nearly 100 Chinese scholars to study in the United States over more than a decade. These scholars later became the backbone of China’s scientific and technological development. Since 1999, he had served as a professor at Tsinghua University, raising funds to establish the Institute for Advanced Study Foundation. “One of the most important choices in my life was deciding to return to Tsinghua,” Yang Zhenning once said. At the age of over 80, he taught “General Physics” to freshmen and promoted the development of disciplines such as cold atomic physics. Though Professor Yang Zhenning has passed away, his spirit lives on. 24. At what age did Yang Zhenning show his ambition to win a Nobel Prize? A. 10.  B. 13.  C. 23.  D. 35. 25. What can we infer about the scholars in Paragraph 5? A. They established an organization.  B. They disagreed with Yang’s methods.  C. They became key scientists in China.  D. They all decided to work in America. 26. Which words can best describe Yang Zhenning? A. Intelligent and tough.  B. Ambitions and patriotic.  C. Humorous and determined.  D. Outgoing and warm-hearted. 27. What does the underlined phrase refer to in the last paragraph? A. His religious faith and personal beliefs.  B. The physical energy he had in old age.  C. The financial donations he made to universities.  D. His lasting scientific achievements and inspiring influence. C You might think that only world leaders and scientists can fight climate change. But today, young people all over the world are making a real difference. They are using their voices and actions to protect our planet. One famous young activist is Greta Thunberg from Sweden. She started by sitting alone outside her country’s parliament (国会) with a sign that read, “School Strike for Climate.” Her small action inspired a huge global movement called “Fridays for Future.” Now, millions of students skip school on Fridays to join protests (抗议) and demand action from adults. It’s not just about protests. Many kids are taking action in their own communities. For example, some students organize clean-up days at local parks or beaches. They pick up plastic bottles and bags to stop pollution. Others focus on planting trees. Trees are very important because they absorb carbon dioxide and give us clean air. Some young inventors are even creating new technology to help. A teenager from India made a device that can turn plastic waste into fuel. A group of students in Kenya developed an app that teaches people how to recycle correctly. These young activists show us that you are never too young to make a change. They remind everyone that the Earth is our home, and we all need to work together to take care of it. Their message is clear; the future belongs to the young, and they are ready to fight for it. 28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic.  B. To criticise world leaders.  C. To compare scientists and students.  D. To list all the causes of global warming. 29. What can we know about the impact of Greta Thunberg’s action? A. It stopped all plastic pollution in Europe.  B. It caused lots of schools to close every Friday.  C. It inspired many students to take climate action.  D. It successfully made her the leader of a political party. 30. Which statement is TRUE according to the 3rd paragraph? A. Scientists had solved environmental problems.  B. Technology is the only solution to climate change.  C. Cleaning parks is more important than planting trees.  D. The young are taking practical action in their communities. 31. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. Climate change is a big problem.  B. Young kids are helping the Earth.  C. Students should stop going to school to protest.  D. World leaders can make real changes to protect the Earth. D In recent years, labor education has become a key part of school curricula in China. Inspired by the belief that “life is education,” many schools now encourage students to take part in meaningful hands-on activities such as planting vegetables, cooking meals, and repairing simple items. A kindergarten in Henan Province recently attracted public attention for teaching children how to sift (第) wheat and make dough（面团）—simple but practical tasks that help build life skills. Labor education goes beyond skill development. It helps students become more independent, responsible, and cooperative. By experiencing real work, they learn to appreciate the value of effort and understand that every job is worthy of respect. These experiences also support emotional and cognitive growth, contributing to well-rounded personal development. In 2018, the Chinese government officially included labor education as a required subject in schools. The goal is to change negative attitudes toward physical labor and promote a culture of hard work from an early age. However, successful programs require proper planning, safety measures, and support from parents to ensure activities are suitable for each age group. Though challenges exist, this trend shows a change in how we view education. True learning doesn’t just happen in textbooks—it also comes from doing. Through labor, students gain a realistic understanding of life, helping them grow into a thoughtful person. 32. Why do many schools launch hands-on activities? A. Schools were inspired by a belief.  B. Schools were required by parents.  C. The activities were favored by teachers.  D. The activities were preferred by students. 33. What can we know from Paragraph 2? A. Labor education merely develops skills.  B. Children should work instead of studying.  C. Cooking is the most important skill in life.  D. Labor education supports well-rounded growth. 34. Why is parents’ support important in labor education? A. Parents can replace teachers.  B. Children only listen to their parents.  C. Schools cannot organize anything alone.  D. It ensures activities are suitable for students. 35. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Learning from Textbooks.  B. The History of Chinese Education.  C. Growing through Labor Education.  D. The Challenges of Labor Education. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In the digital age, the Internet is a platform for social interaction. However, it’s crucial for you to be aware of online safety. 36 . Secure your accounts Use strong and unique passwords for each of your online accounts. 37 . Enable two-factor authentication (认证) wherever possible to add an extra layer of security. This means that even if someone guesses your password, they still won’t be able to access your account without the second verification step, typically a code sent to your phone. 38 Think twice before posting personal information online. Avoid sharing your full name, address, phone number or school details. Remember, once something is online, it’s hard to remove it completely. Be cautious about geotagging（地理标签）features in social media, as they can reveal your location to others. Be careful about strangers When chatting online, be cautious about who you talk to. 39 . If someone makes you uncomfortable, end the conversation and block them. Be skeptical of online friendships; not everyone is who they claim to be online. Stay informed 40 .

In the early 19th century, when an outbreak of cholera hit Europe, millions of people died from the disease. As a young doctor, John Snow became    57    (frustrate) because no one knew how to prevent or treat cholera. In time, he rose to become     58    famous doctor. However, he never lost his desire to destroy cholera once and for all. In general, doctors in those days had two contradictory theories to explain how cholera spread. Snow subscribed     59   the second theory. It was correct, but he still needed proof.    60    (consequence), when an outbreak of cholera hit London in 1845, Snow began to investigate. He discovered that in two particular streets the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why. Snow began by marking on a map the exact places    61    all those who died had lived. There were multiple deaths near the water pump in Broad Street. However, some    62     (household) had had no deaths. These people had been given free beer, and so had not drunk the water from the pump. Snow suspected that the water pump was    63    (blame). As a result of his evidence, John Snow was able to announce that the pump water carried cholera germs. The truth was     64    the water from the Broad Street pump had been infected by waste. Accordingly, he had the handle of the pump     65    (remove) so that it could not be used. Through this intervention, the disease was stopped in its tracks. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你校将在本周末举办“文化遗产节(Cultural Heritage Festival)”活动。请你给外教Mr. Thompson写一封邀请信，内容包括： 1.活动目的、时间和地点； 2.活动内容； 3.邀请参加。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Dear Mr. Thompson, ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语线写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Anthony was a fifth-grade student in the Albany Elementary School which had a rich history and a good reputation across the state, thanks to its devotion to providing high-quality education and shaping generations of Albany’s children. Frankly speaking, Anthony was neither the brightest（最聪明的）student, nor the most athletic in the school, but he had a real enthusiasm for learning and always approached his studies with strong curiosity. Every morning, he would greet the school day with a wide and genuine smile that brightened the entire classroom. His classmates couldn’t help but be influenced by his optimistic attitude towards life, which helped him become very popular and also form many friendships at school. One unexpected day, the teacher announced a surprise test. It was a subject that Anthony had struggled with. Even more unfortunately, he was not fully prepared. As the papers were handed out, Anthony’s heart sank, and his mind went blank, with a wave of anxiety and nervousness flooding over him. He looked around, hoping for some comfort and encouragement, but all he saw were the focused expressions of his classmates. The silence in the room was deafening, broken only by the occasional（偶尔的）sound of turning papers. As he began to write, Anthony realized that he knew only a fraction (小部分) of the answers. His mind raced, trying to recall anything that might help him, but in vain (徒劳的). Obviously, he was lost. Just then, a piece of paper flew across the room and landed on Anthony’s desk. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按照如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para. 1 It was a note from one of his friends, offering him the answers. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 With a deep breath, Anthony picked up the note and slowly tore（v.撕）it into pieces. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
