Tsinghua University, where he had worked for many years, issued an obituary calling him “one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century” and emphasizing his outstanding contributions to modern physics. Yang Zhenning’s academic career was filled with groundbreaking achievements. In 1954, he and his collaborator Robert Mills put forward the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory. This theory is so important that it is compared with Einstein’s general theory of relativity and Maxwell’s equations, and it laid the foundation for the later Standard Model of particle physics. Another famous contribution was his work on parity non-conservation in weak interactions, which he developed with Li Zhengdao. This revolutionary idea changed people’s understanding of symmetry in physics and earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957. Beyond his scientific work, Yang Zhenning had a deep affection for his motherland. As early as 1971, when Sino-US relations were beginning to improve, he returned to China for a visit. This trip had a huge impact and encouraged many Chinese scholars living abroad to come back and serve the country. In 1999, he officially became a professor at Tsinghua University and later served as the honorary director of the university’s Institute for Advanced Study. Even in his 80s, he still taught undergraduate courses and worked hard to cultivate young physics talents. In 2021, Yang Zhenning donated more than 2,000 pieces of his collection, including books, manuscripts and images, to Tsinghua University, which set up a special “Yang Zhenning Resource Room” to preserve these precious materials. 8. Why did Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao win the Nobel Prize in Physics? A. For developing the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory. B. For proposing the idea of parity non-conservation. C. For establishing the Standard Model of particle physics. D. For donating precious materials to Tsinghua University. 9. What is the significance of the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory? A. It won Yang Zhenning the Nobel Prize alone. B. It laid the foundation for the Standard Model of particle physics. C. It changed people’s understanding of gravity. D. It was developed when Yang Zhenning worked at Tsinghua University. 10. What did Yang Zhenning do after 1999? A. He first returned to China for a visit. B. He put forward the Yang-Baxter Equation. C. He taught at Tsinghua University and cultivated talents. D. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics. 11. When did Yang Zhenning donate his collection to Tsinghua University? A. In 1957. B. In 1999. C. In 2021. D. In 2025. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了著名物理学家杨振宁的生平、学术成就、对祖国的热爱以及他对后辈人才的培养和贡献。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Another famous contribution was his work on parity non-conservation in weak interactions, which he developed with Li Zhengdao. This revolutionary idea changed people’s understanding of symmetry in physics and earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957.(他另一项著名贡献是与李政道合作研究的弱相互作用中的宇称不守恒现象。这一具有革命性的理论改变了人们对物理学中对称性的认知，并为他们赢得了1957年的诺贝尔物理学奖。)”可知，杨振宁和李政道获得诺贝尔物理学奖是因为他们提出了宇称不守恒定律。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In 1954, he and his collaborator Robert Mills put forward the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory. This theory is so important that it is compared with Einstein’s general theory of relativity and Maxwell’s equations, and it laid the foundation for the later Standard Model of particle physics.(1954年，他与合作者罗伯特・米尔斯共同提出了杨-米尔斯规范场理论。该理论意义重大，常被比作爱因斯坦的广义相对论和麦克斯韦方程组，还为后来的粒子物理标准模型奠定了基础。)”可知，杨-米尔斯规范场论为粒子物理学的标准模型奠定了基础。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In 1999, he officially became a professor at Tsinghua University and later served as the honorary director of the university’s Institute for Advanced Study. Even in his 80s, he still taught undergraduate courses and worked hard to cultivate young physics talents.(1999年，他正式成为清华大学教授，后来担任清华大学高等研究院名誉院长。即使在他80多岁的时候，他仍然教授本科课程，并努力培养年轻的物理学人才。)”可知，1999年后杨振宁在清华大学教书并培养人才。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In 2021, Yang Zhenning donated more than 2,000 pieces of his collection, including books, manuscripts and images, to Tsinghua University, which set up a special “Yang Zhenning Resource Room” to preserve these precious materials.(2021年，杨振宁将自己收藏的2000余件物品捐赠给清华大学，其中包括书籍、手稿与影像资料。清华大学为此专门设立了“杨振宁资料室”，用于保存这些珍贵材料。)”可知，杨振宁在2021年向清华大学捐赠了他的藏品。故选C。 D When it comes to popular symbols of marriage, one cannot look past the wedding ring. The wedding ring serves as a perfect symbol of everlasting love — a ring is a circle and thus has no beginning or end, representing the never-ending union of marriage. Evidence suggests that wedding rings were used in ancient Egypt around 6,000 years ago. However, unlike the metals and jewels used today, they were crafted from materials such as leather or bone. In the centuries that followed, the wedding ring tradition was picked up in the West, where it spread first in ancient Rome and Greece, subsequently throughout Europe during the Middle Ages, and eventually to Eastern culture. Throughout history, the round shape of the ring has continued, and so has the tradition of wearing it on the fourth finger of the left hand. The latter practice originated from an ancient belief that a vein (静脉) ran directly from this finger to the heart. Although this belief has since been considered wrong, the custom has continued. Regarding customs surrounding wedding rings, there was a time when only the bride wore a wedding ring. It wasn’t until the early 20th century that the practice of bridegrooms wearing rings gained popularity. This change was influenced by soldiers going off to war, who wore rings as reminders of their loved ones waiting for them at home. Today, the exchange of wedding rings remains an essential part of the wedding ceremony, symbolizing the commitment and love shared between two individuals who will begin a life together. Wedding rings hold a symbolic significance that ties the two members of a married couple. In an ever-changing world, the wedding ring stands as an ancient tradition that is likely to continue for generations to come, reflecting the timeless and everlasting love celebrated through marriage. 12. What can we know about wedding rings in the text? A. They have their roots in Europe. B. They date back to the Middle Ages. C. They symbolize the owners’ social status. D. The round shape has remained unchanged. 13. Why did people in ancient times wear a wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand? A. Because it brought good luck to soldiers going off to war. B. Because they wished to keep their lover in their heart. C. Because a vein runs directly from this finger to the heart. D. Because it represented the never-ending union of marriage. 14. What can be predicted about the future of the wedding ring tradition? A. It will undergo great changes. B. It will gradually fall out of date. C. It will probably last for quite a long time. D. It will only be popular in certain cultures. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The design of wedding rings. B. The significance of wedding rings. C. The long history of wedding rings. D. The materials used for wedding rings. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了结婚戒指的象征意义、悠久而丰富的历史、早期制作材料、传播过程、相关传统等。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Throughout history, the round shape of the ring has continued, and so has the tradition of wearing it on the fourth finger of the left hand.(纵观历史，圆形的戒指一直延续下来，把它戴在左手无名指上的传统也一直延续下来)”可知，结婚戒指是圆形保持不变。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Throughout history, the round shape of the ring has continued, and so has the tradition of wearing it on the fourth finger of the left hand. The latter practice originated from an ancient belief that a vein (静脉) ran directly from this finger to the heart. Although this belief has since been considered wrong, the custom has continued.(纵观历史，圆形的戒指一直延续下来，把它戴在左手无名指上的传统也一直延续下来。后一种做法源于一种古老的信仰，即静脉直接从这只手指流向心脏。尽管这种信仰后来被认为是错误的，但这种习俗仍在继续)”可知，古代人把结婚戒指戴在左手无名指上是因为静脉直接从这个手指流向心脏。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In an ever-changing world, the wedding ring stands as an ancient tradition that is likely to continue for generations to come, reflecting the timeless and everlasting love celebrated through marriage.(在这个瞬息万变的世界里，结婚戒指作为一种古老的传统，很可能会代代相传，反映出通过婚姻庆祝的永恒的爱情)”可知，结婚戒指传统未来可能会持续很长一段时间。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When it comes to popular symbols of marriage, one cannot look past the wedding ring. The wedding ring serves as a perfect symbol of everlasting love — a ring is a circle and thus has no beginning or end, representing the never-ending union of marriage.(当谈到流行的婚姻象征时，人们不能忽视结婚戒指。结婚戒指是永恒爱情的完美象征——戒指是一个圆圈，因此没有起点也没有终点，代表着永不结束的婚姻)”结合文章介绍了结婚戒指的象征意义、悠久而丰富的历史、早期制作材料、传播过程、相关传统等。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是结婚戒指的意义。故选B。 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。 Making money isn’t just for adults.

Phil was in his senior year when Melissa, the boy’s mother, joined the university as a teaching assistant. She met Phil when his teachers wanted to make him leave the university because of his poor performance. Melissa stood up for him and asked his teachers to give him one last chance. Phil agreed to study under Melissa’s guidance and was amazed to see how she taught him the knowledge he couldn’t follow earlier. He considered her as his mentor (导师) and respected her a lot. After graduating, Phil set up his company and applied the knowledge that Melissa had taught him. He quickly made huge profits and was always grateful to Melissa. “Hey! What happened to your mom?” Phil asked the boy “She hasn’t been feeling well for the past year,” the boy replied while he tried to recognize Phil. “The doctors says she needs immediate surgery (外科手术), but we can’t afford it.” “I’m so sorry to hear that,” Phil said. “We sold everything we owned,” the boy said. “We paid for her first operation, but now we have nothing.

Phil sat in the waiting room beside the boy while the doctors performed Melissa’s surgery. Hours later, a team of doctors and nurses came out of the operation room and told Phil everything was fine. When Melissa gained awareness, her son hugged her, “Mom, do you know who paid for your surgery?” Melissa turned her eyes to Phil. “Phil? Is that you?” she smiled.“Yes, Ms. Melissa,” Phil smiled back. “Your favorite student is here!” With hands holding together, they talked about their past good days happily. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述成功的商人Phil一天看到一个他感觉很熟悉的男孩在乞讨，这让他想到了多年前给他帮助的Melissa，也就是男孩的母亲。如果没有Melissa的帮助，Phil不可能完成大学学业，更不用说取得成功。Phil从男孩那得知，他乞讨是因为母亲生病需要手术，但家里该卖的东西都卖光了。听到这些Phil很伤心，他要求男孩带他去Melissa所在的医院。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①根据第一段首句内容“男孩同意了，跳上了菲Phil的车。”可知，第一段可描写去医院的路上Phil了解到Melissa的病情，以及到医院后提出给她支付手术费。 ②根据第二段首句内容“当医生为Melissa做手术时，Phil在候诊室里坐在男孩的旁边。”可知，第二段可描写Melissa手术成功，对Phil表示感谢，以及两人回忆过去的时光。 2. 续写线索：男孩上车——了解病情——到达医院——支付手术费——手术成功——感谢——回忆 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①哭泣：cry/sob/weep ②开始：begin/start/set about ③告诉：tell/inform ④恢复意识：gain awareness/come back to life ⑤微笑：smile/beam ⑥聊起：talk about/chat about/discuss 情绪类： ①震惊的：shocked/astonished/startled ②高兴地：happily/joyfully/cheerfully 【点睛】[高分句型1] Phil nodded and told the doctors he would pay for the surgery.

Tsinghua University, where he had worked for many years, issued an obituary calling him “one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century” and emphasizing his outstanding contributions to modern physics. Yang Zhenning’s academic career was filled with groundbreaking achievements. In 1954, he and his collaborator Robert Mills put forward the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory. This theory is so important that it is compared with Einstein’s general theory of relativity and Maxwell’s equations, and it laid the foundation for the later Standard Model of particle physics. Another famous contribution was his work on parity non-conservation in weak interactions, which he developed with Li Zhengdao. This revolutionary idea changed people’s understanding of symmetry in physics and earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957. Beyond his scientific work, Yang Zhenning had a deep affection for his motherland. As early as 1971, when Sino-US relations were beginning to improve, he returned to China for a visit. This trip had a huge impact and encouraged many Chinese scholars living abroad to come back and serve the country. In 1999, he officially became a professor at Tsinghua University and later served as the honorary director of the university’s Institute for Advanced Study. Even in his 80s, he still taught undergraduate courses and worked hard to cultivate young physics talents. In 2021, Yang Zhenning donated more than 2,000 pieces of his collection, including books, manuscripts and images, to Tsinghua University, which set up a special “Yang Zhenning Resource Room” to preserve these precious materials. 8. Why did Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao win the Nobel Prize in Physics? A. For developing the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory. B. For proposing the idea of parity non-conservation. C. For establishing the Standard Model of particle physics. D. For donating precious materials to Tsinghua University. 9. What is the significance of the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory? A. It won Yang Zhenning the Nobel Prize alone. B. It laid the foundation for the Standard Model of particle physics. C. It changed people’s understanding of gravity. D. It was developed when Yang Zhenning worked at Tsinghua University. 10. What did Yang Zhenning do after 1999? A. He first returned to China for a visit. B. He put forward the Yang-Baxter Equation. C. He taught at Tsinghua University and cultivated talents. D. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics. 11. When did Yang Zhenning donate his collection to Tsinghua University? A. In 1957. B. In 1999. C. In 2021. D. In 2025. D When it comes to popular symbols of marriage, one cannot look past the wedding ring. The wedding ring serves as a perfect symbol of everlasting love — a ring is a circle and thus has no beginning or end, representing the never-ending union of marriage. Evidence suggests that wedding rings were used in ancient Egypt around 6,000 years ago. However, unlike the metals and jewels used today, they were crafted from materials such as leather or bone. In the centuries that followed, the wedding ring tradition was picked up in the West, where it spread first in ancient Rome and Greece, subsequently throughout Europe during the Middle Ages, and eventually to Eastern culture. Throughout history, the round shape of the ring has continued, and so has the tradition of wearing it on the fourth finger of the left hand. The latter practice originated from an ancient belief that a vein (静脉) ran directly from this finger to the heart. Although this belief has since been considered wrong, the custom has continued. Regarding customs surrounding wedding rings, there was a time when only the bride wore a wedding ring. It wasn’t until the early 20th century that the practice of bridegrooms wearing rings gained popularity. This change was influenced by soldiers going off to war, who wore rings as reminders of their loved ones waiting for them at home. Today, the exchange of wedding rings remains an essential part of the wedding ceremony, symbolizing the commitment and love shared between two individuals who will begin a life together. Wedding rings hold a symbolic significance that ties the two members of a married couple. In an ever-changing world, the wedding ring stands as an ancient tradition that is likely to continue for generations to come, reflecting the timeless and everlasting love celebrated through marriage. 12. What can we know about wedding rings in the text? A. They have their roots in Europe. B. They date back to the Middle Ages. C. They symbolize the owners’ social status. D. The round shape has remained unchanged. 13. Why did people in ancient times wear a wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand? A. Because it brought good luck to soldiers going off to war. B. Because they wished to keep their lover in their heart. C. Because a vein runs directly from this finger to the heart. D. Because it represented the never-ending union of marriage. 14. What can be predicted about the future of the wedding ring tradition? A. It will undergo great changes. B. It will gradually fall out of date. C. It will probably last for quite a long time. D. It will only be popular in certain cultures. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The design of wedding rings. B. The significance of wedding rings. C. The long history of wedding rings. D. The materials used for wedding rings. 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。 Making money isn’t just for adults. Kids can do it, too.

After graduating, Phil set up his company and applied the knowledge that Melissa had taught him. He quickly made huge profits and was always grateful to Melissa. “Hey!
