第二部分:阅读理解 (共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题:每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
A
Most of us could benefit from washing our bedding more often. Sheets, pillowcases, and mattresses can harbor dirt, germs and allergens (过敏原) that affect our skin and overall health. But what’s the sweet spot for washing frequency? Our website asked experts to share their preferred intervals (间隔) and tips on how to do it well.
Pillowcases
Pillowcases are the landing pad for your skin, hair and all the oils and dirt carried with them. It is recommended that pillowcases should be washed at least once a week. People who have sensitive skin or allergies often benefit from a more frequent routine, like every three to four days. To help clean cases last longer, shower before bed. And don’t forget your pillows: washing them once per season is the sweet spot.
Sheets
At a minimum, you should wash your sheets once a week. But a variety of factors call for more frequent washing. One is the summer heat, since sweat “can lead to bacteria and odor on our sheets.” Plus, allergens like pollen can travel inside with you, so washing more frequently can help reduce symptoms.
Mattresses
Every time you strip the bedding, let the mattress breathe for a bit rather than immediately putting on a new set of sheets. “Leave it for a few hours with some windows open.” Still air and covered mattresses encourage dust mites and allergens to thrive. Vacuum (用吸尘器吸) it two to three times a year. If it smells, sprinkle on a thin layer of baking soda, let it sit for a few hours. And then vacuum it up.
1. Which of the following bedding is advised to be cleaned once per season?
A. Pillowcases. B. Pillows. C. Sheets. D. Mattresses.
2. Which is a proper way to clean the mattress?
A. Exposing it to fresh air for a few minutes.
B. Vacuuming it up before spraying baking soda.
C. Removing the bedding and leaving it for a while.
D. Placing new sheets instantly when making the bed.
3. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A lifestyle website. B. A health magazine. C. A medical journal. D. A product handbook.
B
Imagine a potter(陶工), sitting quietly on a small chair, holding soft clay(黏土) in his hands, sculpting it as he spins the pottery wheel. The clay’s fate is completely in the potter’s hands. A skilled potter would turn it into a beautiful container but the same clay, when handed to a green hand, may be ruined.
Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings — the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are.
Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the top 5 people you spend your most time with.” Now think about the company you keep — the ones who share your joys, wipe tears away and share your dreams. Every part of you is nothing but their average.
Back in middle school, most of my classmates didn’t quite match my level of intellect (智力). More often than not, I stood out from them; although it felt really satisfying, it somehow lacked the challenge I desired. It wasn’t until I started high school that I found what I was searching for.
High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth.
To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve. Just as tough competition pushes athletes to stand out, great people bring out the best in you. So, find your people, people who’ll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want. They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher.
But if negativity surrounds you, don’t expect positive changes in your life. If you’re always with people who see nothing but reasons why things can’t be done, then that will also become your reality.
4. What does the author compare our surroundings to?
A. The potter. B. The clay. C. The pottery wheel. D. The container.
5. Which of the following best describes the author’s high school?
A. Dull. B. Painful. C. Rewarding. D. Thrilling.
6. Who does the author suggest readers be with in order to grow?
A. People who motivate them to advance.
B. People who match their level of intellect.
C. People who work in the same area as they do.
D People who share happiness and sorrow with them.
7. What is the message conveyed in the text?
A. Toughness leads to success. B. Positivity outweighs hard work.
C. Birds of a feather gather together. D. Success loves a successful company.
C
We’ve all had the experience. We’re reading along and suddenly realize that although our eyes are scanning the words on the page, nothing is actually registering. Minutes pass before we realize that we’ve lost the plot entirely.
In classrooms, students tend to experience this drift (偏移) in attention while reading texts that are challenging or highly technical — the sorts of passages middle schoolers and high schoolers might encounter in science, math, or history.
In a 2024 study of “mindless reading,” researchers from the University of Wü rzburg tracked the reading speed and attention of undergraduates studying a complex science text. At multiple points during the exercise, prompts (提示) appeared asking students “Was your mind wandering when you read the last sentence?” Students confirmed multiple instances of loss of attention.
Researchers found that variations in reading speed, lingering (逗留) on the same passage for long periods, and skipping words were signals that students were struggling to remain focused or to understand the material, and also predicted poorer performance on later tests.
But these problems are not insolvable. The University of Wü rzburg researchers also concluded that when students were trained to recognize when they lost track of sentence-level information or got stuck on passages — and were taught strategies to “plan, monitor, and regulate their reading” — they were able to successfully re-route their attention.
To convince students of the importance of effective reading strategies, it’s important to explain the long-term benefits of sticking through complex texts. For example, learning how to make sense of a technical science text may help if students decide to work in engineering. The skills they use to make sense of a history text may help in future legal careers. Try to make it clear, literacy expert Timothy Shanahan says, that when we teach students how to push through difficult texts, “what we’re really doing is showing them how to gain access to all of these different fields in our society.”
8. Students tend to lose their focus while reading if ________.
A. the reading text is long B. they are in a classroom
C. the reading material is complex D. they are middle or high schoolers
9. Which of the following is a signal of “mindless reading”?
A. Reading too quickly. B. Poor performance on tests.
C. Changes in reading speed. D. Spending much time reading.
10. What should students do if they experience “mindless reading”?
A. Change the reading materials.
B. Get to know why they get stuck on passages.
C. Learn to notice when their attention wanders.
D. Pay more attention to sentence-level information.
11. What is Shanahan’s attitude to helping students push through difficult texts?
A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
D
Enjoying a juicy watermelon is one of summer’s greatest pleasures, particularly when you don’t have to avoid any seeds. Indeed, humans have adapted many fruits to be seedless in search of a more pleasant eating experience.
The navel orange (a sweet orange that is usually seedless), for example, came about after a random genetic mutation (随机的基因突变) produced a single branch with seedless fruit long ago. Cuttings of the branch were joined to other trees, and today, all of the world’s navel oranges are copies of this original. A similar discovery led to seedless grapes, which are thought to first appear in ancient Rome before making their way to the Americas in the 1870s.
Scientists have a few guesses about why plants might have developed these abilities and they tried out the combinations in experiments. For one, plants can hybridize more easily than some kinds of animals, and hybridization unlocks the new potential. Even if some combinations don’t pan out, researchers have recorded examples of “hybrid advantage”, in which a hybrid is fitter than either of its parents. Lastly, because the purpose of fruit is to draw animals near to help spread their seeds, the production of fruits without fertilization (受精) may ultimately allow trees to produce more fruit at a lower energetic cost if they don’t need to make seeds, too.
Regardless of why seedless fruits exist, they represent an interesting thought experiment, according to Stacey Smith, a plant evolutionary biologist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Many are unable to continue surviving without human involvement, but they’re boosted to grow in the wild for that same reason. There are very few, if any, wild navel oranges, and yet it’s estimated that California will produce 76 million cartons of them this year alone.
“My personal take is that all plants under human care have won in some sense, because they don’t have to make more of themselves. We do it for them,” Smith told Live Science. “And we will never stop eating watermelons, and being able to make seedless ones just means we eat more watermelons.”
12. What is the similarity between the orange and grape mentioned in the text?
A. Being native to ancient Rome.
B. Being seedless due to genetic change.
C. Being grown from seeds rather than cuttings.
D Being joined to other plants for a sweeter taste.
13. What does the underlined phrase “pan out” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Die out. B. Fall through. C. Come apart. D. Work out.
14. Why is the existence of seedless fruits considered a thought experiment?
A. It contributes to the balance of nature.
B. People still have doubts regarding seedless fruits.
C. It inspires thinking on natural selection and human activity.
D. Seedless fruits have a high demand but limited production.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Hybridization: The Key to Seedless Fruits’ Success
B. Seedless Fruits: A Human-Aided Evolutionary Wonder
C. The Journey of Seedless Fruits: From Mutation to Market
D. Genetic Mutations: The Only Way to Create Seedless Fruits

How to Have Better, Deeper Conversations
In today’s fast-paced world, distractions are everywhere, especially from our phones. When catching up with friends, it can be frustrating when their attention shifts away.____16____ It’s a skill that can be cultivated. Here are three key ways to enhance your listening ability.
Avoid distractions.
To be an effective listener, start by putting away your phone and other distractions. Research shows that multitasking distracts our attention and hampers the quality of our conversations. As musician Hishikesh Hirway says, “Trying to listen to one song while singing another in your head is impossible.”____17____
Reflect on what you hear.
Active listening is more than just being silent.____18____ Phrases like “What I hear you saying is” can confirm your understanding. Also, resist the urge to share your own stories immediately; keep the conversation centered on them.
____19____
Nonverbal communication plays a vital role in conversations. Maintaining eye contact, having an open posture, and nodding can show that you’re engaged. These small gestures help the other person feel valued and encourage them to continue sharing.
Improving your listening skills takes practice.____20____ As Hirway advises, “Let the other person know you’re listening and stay focused.”
A. Use nonverbal cues.
B. Look up to show interest.
C. So to build stronger relationships, active listening is essential.
D. But with a bit more effort, you can foster deeper conversations.
E. Engage by asking questions or summarizing what the other person says

An Angel on a Snowy Night
The wind was blowing hard as I was driving down the twists and turns of the country road. I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier.
The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch!
It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless.
I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes? What should I do?”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily.

Imagine a potter(陶工), sitting quietly on a small chair, holding soft clay(黏土) in his hands, sculpting it as he spins the pottery wheel. The clay’s fate is completely in the potter’s hands. A skilled potter would turn it into a beautiful container but the same clay, when handed to a green hand, may be ruined.
Just as the potter shapes clay into containers, our lives are shaped by the hands of our surroundings — the people we meet, the places we go, each conversation and every experience shape us into who we are.
Jim Rohn once said, “You are the average of the top 5 people you spend your most time with.” Now think about the company you keep — the ones who share your joys, wipe tears away and share your dreams. Every part of you is nothing but their average.
Back in middle school, most of my classmates didn’t quite match my level of intellect (智力). More often than not, I stood out from them; although it felt really satisfying, it somehow lacked the challenge I desired. It wasn’t until I started high school that I found what I was searching for.
High school did feel frightening at first. I found myself surrounded by brighter, wiser and prettier faces than I ever imagined. I felt inadequate compared to them, but it was in that discomfort that I found growth.
To grow, you got to be with people who stand out in areas where you fall short, those who inspire you to learn and improve. Just as tough competition pushes athletes to stand out, great people bring out the best in you. So, find your people, people who’ll inspire and uplift you, who have qualities you want. They wouldn’t simply hand you success but force you to lift yourself higher and higher.
But if negativity surrounds you, don’t expect positive changes in your life. If you’re always with people who see nothing but reasons why things can’t be done, then that will also become your reality.

We’ve all had the experience. We’re reading along and suddenly realize that although our eyes are scanning the words on the page, nothing is actually registering. Minutes pass before we realize that we’ve lost the plot entirely.
In classrooms, students tend to experience this drift (偏移) in attention while reading texts that are challenging or highly technical — the sorts of passages middle schoolers and high schoolers might encounter in science, math, or history.
In a 2024 study of “mindless reading,” researchers from the University of Wü rzburg tracked the reading speed and attention of undergraduates studying a complex science text. At multiple points during the exercise, prompts (提示) appeared asking students “Was your mind wandering when you read the last sentence?” Students confirmed multiple instances of loss of attention.
Researchers found that variations in reading speed, lingering (逗留) on the same passage for long periods, and skipping words were signals that students were struggling to remain focused or to understand the material, and also predicted poorer performance on later tests.
But these problems are not insolvable. The University of Wü rzburg researchers also concluded that when students were trained to recognize when they lost track of sentence-level information or got stuck on passages — and were taught strategies to “plan, monitor, and regulate their reading” — they were able to successfully re-route their attention.
To convince students of the importance of effective reading strategies, it’s important to explain the long-term benefits of sticking through complex texts. For example, learning how to make sense of a technical science text may help if students decide to work in engineering. The skills they use to make sense of a history text may help in future legal careers. Try to make it clear, literacy expert Timothy Shanahan says, that when we teach students how to push through difficult texts, “what we’re really doing is showing them how to gain access to all of these different fields in our society.”
8 Students tend to lose their focus while reading if ________.
A. the reading text is long B. they are in a classroom
C. the reading material is complex D. they are middle or high schoolers
9. Which of the following is a signal of “mindless reading”?
A. Reading too quickly. B. Poor performance on tests.
C. Changes in reading speed. D. Spending much time reading.
10. What should students do if they experience “mindless reading”?
A. Change the reading materials.
B. Get to know why they get stuck on passages.
C. Learn to notice when their attention wanders.
D. Pay more attention to sentence-level information.
11. What is Shanahan’s attitude to helping students push through difficult texts?
A. Favorable. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. C 11. A

D
Enjoying a juicy watermelon is one of summer’s greatest pleasures, particularly when you don’t have to avoid any seeds. Indeed, humans have adapted many fruits to be seedless in search of a more pleasant eating experience.
The navel orange (a sweet orange that is usually seedless), for example, came about after a random genetic mutation (随机的基因突变) produced a single branch with seedless fruit long ago. Cuttings of the branch were joined to other trees, and today, all of the world’s navel oranges are copies of this original. A similar discovery led to seedless grapes, which are thought to first appear in ancient Rome before making their way to the Americas in the 1870s.
Scientists have a few guesses about why plants might have developed these abilities and they tried out the combinations in experiments. For one, plants can hybridize more easily than some kinds of animals, and hybridization unlocks the new potential. Even if some combinations don’t pan out, researchers have recorded examples of “hybrid advantage”, in which a hybrid is fitter than either of its parents. Lastly, because the purpose of fruit is to draw animals near to help spread their seeds, the production of fruits without fertilization (受精) may ultimately allow trees to produce more fruit at a lower energetic cost if they don’t need to make seeds, too.
Regardless of why seedless fruits exist, they represent an interesting thought experiment, according to Stacey Smith, a plant evolutionary biologist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Many are unable to continue surviving without human involvement, but they’re boosted to grow in the wild for that same reason. There are very few, if any, wild navel oranges, and yet it’s estimated that California will produce 76 million cartons of them this year alone.
“My personal take is that all plants under human care have won in some sense, because they don’t have to make more of themselves. We do it for them,” Smith told Live Science. “And we will never stop eating watermelons, and being able to make seedless ones just means we eat more watermelons.”
12. What is the similarity between the orange and grape mentioned in the text?
A. Being native to ancient Rome.
B. Being seedless due to genetic change.
C. Being grown from seeds rather than cuttings.
D. Being joined to other plants for a sweeter taste.
13. What does the underlined phrase “pan out” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Die out. B. Fall through. C. Come apart. D. Work out.
14. Why is the existence of seedless fruits considered a thought experiment?
A. It contributes to the balance of nature.
B. People still have doubts regarding seedless fruits.
C. It inspires thinking on natural selection and human activity.
D. Seedless fruits have a high demand but limited production.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. Hybridization: The Key to Seedless Fruits’ Success
B. Seedless Fruits: A Human-Aided Evolutionary Wonder
C. The Journey of Seedless Fruits: From Mutation to Market
D. Genetic Mutations: The Only Way to Create Seedless Fruits
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了无籽水果的起源、发展以及它们与人类活动的关系。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The navel orange (a sweet orange that is usually seedless), for example, came about after a random genetic mutation produced a single branch with seedless fruit long ago. (例如,脐橙,一种通常无籽的甜橙,是在很久以前随机的基因突变产生了一个无籽果实的单枝后产生的)”和“A similar discovery led to seedless grapes, which are thought to first appear in ancient Rome before making their way to the Americas in the 1870s. (类似的发现导致了无籽葡萄的出现,无籽葡萄被认为最早出现在古罗马,然后在19世纪70年代传到了美洲)”可知,脐橙和无籽葡萄的相似之处在于都是由于基因变化而变得无籽。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。画线部分的上文“Scientists have a few guesses about why plants might have developed these abilities and they tried out the combinations in experiments. For one, plants can hybridize more easily than some kinds of animals, and hybridization unlocks the new potential. (科学家们对植物为什么会发展出这些能力有一些猜测,他们在实验中尝试了这些组合。首先,植物比某些动物更容易杂交,而杂交释放了新的潜力)”提到科学家们尝试不同的组合,用杂交的手段释放新的潜力,Even if“即使”表示让步关系,再结合画线部分的下文“researchers have recorded examples of “hybrid advantage”, in which a hybrid is fitter than either of its parents (研究人员也记录了“杂交优势”的例子,在这种情况下,杂交后代比其父母中的任何一个都更适合)”可推知,虽然有些组合可能不成功,但也存在杂交优势的例子,画线部分意思应该是“成功,奏效”,与Work out意思最为接近。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Regardless of why seedless fruits exist, they represent an interesting thought experiment, according to Stacey Smith, a plant evolutionary biologist at the University of Colorado Boulder. Many are unable to continue surviving without human involvement, but they’re boosted to grow in the wild for that same reason. (科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的植物进化生物学家Stacey Smith表示,不管无籽水果存在的原因是什么,它们都代表了一个有趣的思想实验。如果没有人类的参与,许多水果无法继续生存,但出于同样的原因,它们被鼓励在野外生长)”可知,无籽水果的存在依赖于人类的干预,而不是自然选择。由此推知,无籽水果的存在是一个有趣的思想实验,是因为这引发了关于自然选择和人类活动之间关系的思考。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中Smith所说的话“My personal take is that all plants under human care have won in some sense, because they don’t have to make more of themselves. We do it for them (我个人的看法是,所有在人类照料下的植物都在某种意义上取得了胜利,因为它们不需要自己繁殖。我们为它们完成了这个活动)”可知,文章主要介绍了无籽水果的起源、发展以及它们与人类活动的关系。文章提到,无籽水果的出现是由于基因突变和人类的选择性繁殖,并且它们的生存依赖于人类的干预。因此,B项“无籽水果:人类辅助的进化奇迹”最能概括文章的核心内容,适合作为文章标题。故选B项。

How to Have Better, Deeper Conversations
In today’s fast-paced world, distractions are everywhere, especially from our phones. When catching up with friends, it can be frustrating when their attention shifts away.____16____ It’s a skill that can be cultivated. Here are three key ways to enhance your listening ability.
Avoid distractions.
To be an effective listener, start by putting away your phone and other distractions. Research shows that multitasking distracts our attention and hampers the quality of our conversations. As musician Hishikesh Hirway says, “Trying to listen to one song while singing another in your head is impossible.”____17____
Reflect on what you hear.
Active listening is more than just being silent.____18____ Phrases like “What I hear you saying is” can confirm your understanding. Also, resist the urge to share your own stories immediately; keep the conversation centered on them.
____19____
Nonverbal communication plays a vital role in conversations. Maintaining eye contact, having an open posture, and nodding can show that you’re engaged. These small gestures help the other person feel valued and encourage them to continue sharing.
Improving your listening skills takes practice.____20____ As Hirway advises, “Let the other person know you’re listening and stay focused.”
A. Use nonverbal cues.
B. Look up to show interest.
C. So to build stronger relationships, active listening is essential.
D. But with a bit more effort, you can foster deeper conversations.
E. Engage by asking questions or summarizing what the other person says
F. Therefore, during conversations, focus fully on the person in front of you.
G. Taking notes while listening can help you remember the conversation better.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. E 19. A 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本篇文章主要讲述了如何通过提升自己的聆听能力,促进更深层次交流。
【16题详解】
根据上文“In today’s fast-paced world, distractions are everywhere, especially from our phones. When catching up with fiends, it can be frustrating when their attention shifts away.(在当今快节奏的世界里,干扰无处不在,尤其是来自手机的干扰。当你和朋友聊天时,他们的注意力会转移,这会让你感到沮丧)”以及下文“It’s a skill that can be cultivated. Here are three key ways to enhance your listening ability.(这是一种可以培养的技能。这里有三个提高听力能力的关键方法)”可知,本句与上文构成因果关系,指出倾听对于建立关系的重要性。故C选项“因此,为了建立更牢固的关系,积极倾听是必不可少的”符合语境。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“As musician Hishikesh Hirway says, “Trying to listen to one song while singing another in your head is impossible.”(正如音乐家Hishikesh Hirway所说:“试图在你脑海里一边听一首歌一边唱另一首歌是不可能的。”)”可知,上文提到音乐家所言,想要听着一首歌再唱出另一首歌这是不可能的。说明了在谈话中我们要全心全意关注和你讲话的这个人,不受其他干扰,故F选项“因此,在谈话中,把注意力完全集中在你面前的人身上”符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Active listening is more than just being silent(积极倾听不仅仅是保持沉默)”可知,上文提到了积极倾听不仅仅是保持沉默,本句继续补充积极倾听的要求。故E选项“通过提问或总结对方所说的内容来参与”符合语境。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据本段内容“Nonverbal communication plays a vital role in conversations. Maintaining eye contact, having an open posture, and nodding can show that you’re engaged. These small gestures help the other person feel valued and encourage them to continue sharing.(非语言交际在谈话中起着至关重要的作用。保持眼神交流,保持开放的姿势,点头都能表明你在认真倾听。这些小小的举动可以帮助对方感到被重视,并鼓励他们继续分享)”可知,本段主要说明了肢体语言在谈话中的作用,A选项nonverbal cues对应后文Nonverbal communication。故A选项“使用非语言暗示”符合语境。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Improving your listening skills takes practice.(提高倾听技能需要练习)”以及下文“As Hirway advises, “Let the other person know you’re listening and stay focused.”(正如Hirway建议的那样,“让对方知道你在倾听,并保持专注。”)”可知,上文提到了提高倾听技能,结合文章主旨是深层次倾听,推测本句主要说明了如何促进更深层次的交流。故D选项“但只要再努力一点,你就能促进更深层次的对话”符合语境。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了著名物理学家杨振宁的生平、成就及其在物理学领域的重要贡献。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:他被公认为世界上最有影响力的科学家之一。根据one of the most influential scientists in the world可知,句子表示他被公认为世界上最有影响力的科学家之一,“被公认为”是be known as,因此空格处是介词as“作为”,故填as。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意:1957年,杨振宁和另一位物理学家李政道因研究宇称定律而获得诺贝尔物理学奖。win作谓语动词,由“In 1957”可知,句子时态用一般过去时,空格处用过去式won,故填won。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们的发现帮助人们更好地理解基本粒子——构成所有物质的微小部分。根据空格前的形容词性物主代词Their可知,此处需要填入名词形式。discover的名词形式为discovery,且根据上文“for their research on the law of parity”可知此处指他们两人共同的研究发现,为单数概念,用单数形式。故填discovery。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:杨振宁于1922年出生在安徽省,是五个孩子中的长子。本句已有谓语动词was,空格处为非谓语动词,Yang与bear之间是被动关系,应用过去分词作状语,bear的过去分词为born,句首单词首字母需大写。故填Born。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他在清华大学的校园里长大,他的父亲在那里教授数学课。在那里度过的时光培养了他对科学的浓厚兴趣。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为Tsinghua University,在从句中作地点状语,此从句用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:令人瞩目的是,这个梦想在他35岁时成为了现实。此处修饰整个句子,应用副词形式。remarkable的副词形式为remarkably,表示“令人瞩目地,显著地”。句首单词首字母需大写。故填Remarkably。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:1942年,杨振宁在昆明的西南联大获得学士学位后,又继续在清华大学取得了硕士学位。本句已有谓语动词went on,空格处为非谓语动词,Yang与earn之间是主动关系,且earn的动作发生在went on之前,应用现在分词的完成式having earned,句首单词首字母需大写。故填Having earned。
【43题详解】
考查不定式。句意:1942年,杨振宁在昆明国立西南联合大学获得学士学位后,继续在清华大学攻读硕士学位。此处指获得学士学位后继续在清华大学攻读硕士学位,表示“(做完一件事后)接着做另一件事 ”,用固定短语go on to do,意为“继续做另一件事”,因此空格处用不定式to complete,故填to complete。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意:抗日战争结束后,他凭借清华大学的奖学金前往美国,并在恩里科·费米的指导下在芝加哥大学学习,恩里科·费米建造了世界上第一座核反应堆。空格处连接两个并列的谓语动词went和studied,表顺承关系,应用连词and。故填and。
【45题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意:在他漫长的职业生涯中,杨振宁对物理学的许多领域都做出了贡献,特别是统计力学和对称性原理。contribution是可数名词,由to many fields of physics可知,空格处用复数,故填contributions。

An Angel on a Snowy Night
The wind was blowing hard as I was driving down the twists and turns of the country road. I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier.
The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch!
It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless.
I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes? What should I do?”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily.

Para 1: The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver.

Para 2: The driver drew back and refused to take the money.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. “What’s up? young man!” asked the driver. “I have a flat tire.” I responded. The driver then knelt on his knee and took a close look at the broken tire. “Nothing serious, I’ll help replace the tire.” Hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. A surge of warmth soon flowed through my heart. The driver immediately pulled some tools out of the trunk and set to work. Just within minutes, the spare tire was installed in place. Deeply touched by the driver’s selfless help, I grabbed his arm, trying to cram some cash into his hand.
The driver drew back and refused to take the money. In no time, he stepped onto the pickup and soon disappeared into the dark night, leaving me greatly shocked. An accident turned out to be a blessing when a stranger approached me like an angel. Many years have passed, but the driver’s kind gesture still sticks in my head. It was his generous help that drove away cold, bringing me warmth on that snowy night. Even though I don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring me to reach out to those in need.
