Jöns Jacob Berzelius Jöns Jacob Berzelius was a Swedish chemist, often referred to as one of the founders of modern chemistry.He developed a system of chemical symbols, which laid the foundation for the establishment of the modern periodic table.Berzelius also made important discoveries in the field of electrochemistry. Niels Henrik David Bohr Niels Henrik David Bohr was a Danish physicist.He proposed the atomic (原子的) model, known as the Bohr model, which explained the behaviour of electrons moving in fixed energy levels or orbits around the atomic nucleus.His model helped explain the spectra of elements and laid the groundwork for further developments in atomic physics. Robert Boyle Robert Boyle, born in Ireland, was regarded as one of the founders of modern chemistry, known for Boyle's law.Boyle's law describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas at constant temperature.Boyle's work laid the foundation for the modern understanding of gas behaviour and promoted the development of scientific experimental methods. William Lawrence Bragg William Lawrence Bragg was a British physicist born in Australia who made significant contributions to X-ray crystallography (晶体学)．Together with his father William Henry Bragg, he developed the famous Bragg's law.This discovery revolutionized the field of crystallography and paved the way for determining the atomic and molecular structures of various substances, including DNA and proteins. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了四个科学家和他们的成就。 1．What do we know about Jöns Jacob Berzelius?

Sun was born in Shaanxi Province in northwestern China, where many locals frequently contracted unusual illnesses at that time. Even Sun's father was suffering from night blindness and his mother had serious thick-neck symptoms. So, Sun studied very hard and was determined to become a doctor once he grew up to provide medical care for his parents, relatives and neighbors in his home village. In addition to various Chinese classics, the young Sun dug deep into every medical treatise that he could have access to. He also traveled to various places to collect folk and family recipes and study the medical effects of thousands of herbs. He was particularly interested in identification and preparation of herbs (草药). Sun began his medical practice at the age of 18. After he gained a great reputation as a medical specialist, Sun began to write a 30-volume medical work called Qianjin Yaofang or Essential Prescriptions (药方) Worth a Thousand Gold. In ancient China, there was a saying that “A life is worth a thousand gold”. So, the title indicates that the more than 5,300 recipes contained in the book are life-saving prescriptions. And because of its comprehensive and well-researched contents, the book was regarded by later generations of Chinese herbal doctors as the first encyclopedia of traditional Chinese medicine. Sun was not only known for his remarkable ability in treating illnesses and saving lives but also his lofty morals and conduct. For instance, in one article Sun wrote, “When a great physician treats patients, he must maintain his inner serenity, pay no attention to personal desires or demands, and feel great sympathy for the patients. He should vow to save people from their sufferings, no matter they are rich or poor, old or young, friends or enemies.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，文章介绍了中国古代医学家孙思邈的生平事迹，包括他立志从医的原因、在医学上的探索与成就以及高尚的医德。 4．What made Sun Simiao decide to become a doctor? A．The encouragement from local villagers. B．The influence from various Chinese classics. C．His parents and villagers'suffering from illnesses.

A．Reading Chinese classics. B．Treating unusual illnesses. C．Discovering herbal medicine. D．Collecting folk and family recipes. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，孙思邈在旅行时，对草药的鉴定和制备特别感兴趣，即特别关注发现草药。 6．What does the name Qianjin Yaofang suggest? A．The value of prescriptions. B．The importance of treatment. C．The effects of herbal medicine. D．The benefits of taking medicine. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知，《千金要方》这个书名表明书中有5 300多个救命的药方，暗示了药方的价值。 7．What does the last paragraph stress about Sun Simiao? A．His excellent medical skills. B．His treating all patients equally. C．His great achievements in medicine.

One of the places showing this is the Summer Palace.Situated in Haidian District, northwest of Beijing, it shows the beauty and the grandeur of royal gardens.In December 1998, UNESCO included the Summer Palace on its World Heritage List and described it as “a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design”．With over 3,000 man-made structures, which include bridges, pavilions, and corridors, even the lake area alone is a showcase of many of the Lei family's excellent designs. Kunming Lake is designed to represent the traditional Chinese gardening practice of “one pond, three hills”．There are three small islands within Kunming Lake：Nanhu Island, Zaojiantang Island, and Zhijingge Island. Many features of Kunming Lake are inspired by the scenery from the region south of the Yangtze River.In particular, the West Dike is a recreation of the famous Sudi Dike on West Lake in Hangzhou.The causeway (堤道), which can be walked across, cuts diagonally (斜对地) through the southern part of the lake.Like the Sudi Dike, the West Dike is connected by six bridges, each with its own distinctive style.The largest bridge on Kunming Lake, however, is the 17-Arch Bridge.It combines features of the Precious Belt Bridge in Suzhou and the Lugou Bridge in Beijing.The entire bridge is 150 meters long and eight meters wide. If you can't go further than Beijing, then don't miss the National Library of China.This is where most of the Lei family's architectural design drafts are kept.These include projective (投影的) drawings, front and side elevations, revolving drawings, and even some architectural models which look remarkably like digital models made today.This shows the advanced drawing technology and skill of the Lei architects.Their architectural ability was way ahead of their time. Like the Summer Palace, many others of the Lei family's structures have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites.Also, in 2007, their architectural drawings and models were included in UNESCO's Memory of the World Register.The Lei family's significant influence on Chinese imperial architecture ensures that their work is still remembered and appreciated. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了雷氏家族对中国皇家建筑的贡献和影响。 8．What can we learn from this passage? A．There are three small ponds within Kunming Lake. B．The Summer Palace was put on the World Heritage List in 1998. C．West Lake is described as a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design. D．The 17-Arch Bridge on Kunming Lake is a copy of the Precious Belt Bridge in Suzhou. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知，1998年，联合国教科文组织将颐和园列入《世界遗产名录》。 9．What does the underlined word “incorporated” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Contained.　　　　 B．Ignored. C．Compared. 　 D．Described. 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句以及后文以颐和园为例的描述可知，雷氏家族后期的作品中，既有南方建筑风格，也有园林设计的理念。由此可推测出，是把二者融入了他们的设计中。故画线词应表示“包含、融入”的意思。 10．Why does the author suggest visiting the National Library of China? A．To see the drawings of famous painters. B．To know about the new digital products. C．To learn the history of the Qing Dynasty. D．To see the design drafts of the Lei family. 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一、二句可知，作者之所以建议去国家图书馆，是因为雷氏家族的大部分建筑设计草图都保存在这里。 11．What is the main purpose of the passage?

C．To stress the Lei family's great influence on Chinese imperial architecture. D．To call on people to protect the scenery and architecture of the Summer Palace. 解析：选C　写作意图题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段内容可知，文章以颐和园的经典设计为例，强调了雷氏家族对中国皇家建筑的贡献和影响。 D In China, jade (玉) serves as one of the nation's oldest symbols of virtue and nobility.For years, jade carvers have produced beautiful artworks, because of their exquisite skills and complicated techniques passed down from generation to generation.Among China's wide-ranging styles of jade carving, Beijing's is one of the most famous and recognized worldwide for its use of imperial elements. Jade carving originated in the Yuan Dynasty.In the succeeding dynasty, the Ming, the court gathered skilled jade carvers from all over the nation to create the finest of products for the imperial family, lifting the art to new heights.During the Qing Dynasty, jade became especially popular in Beijing, and the carving skill reached its peak.After the Qing, the craft continued to flourish, with thousands of people pouring their creativity into the jade carving industry.In 2008, Beijing's particular practices were listed as national intangible cultural heritage. Zhang Tiecheng is a third-generation Beijing jade carving inheritor.In 1983, when the technical school attached to the Beijing Jade Factory began to enroll students, Zhang decided to try his luck.After four years of training, he graduated and started working at the factory.Through pure diligence and perseverance, he gradually became a master of the carving art.The year 2008 was a significant one for Zhang.Chinese jade art was introduced internationally through the “Chinese Seal” Olympic symbol and the jade-carved medals.Zhang participated in the design of both.They combined white jade with gold, a light greenish jade with silver, and a gray shade of jade with bronze to make the medals present that perfect combination of truthfulness and virtue. Following his Olympic work, Zhang was invited to restore the jade decorations in the Palace Museum.During this assignment, Zhang couldn't help but feel sad as he realized how the once successful jade artistry was slowly disappearing from its once celebrated stage.As an inheritor of Beijing jade carving, Zhang has added modern artistic elements into this traditional skill.He now hopes more young people can take up the craftsmanship so it can continue to flourish for many years to come. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的玉雕技艺的历史以及现状。 12．What is special about Beijing jade carving?

If we complained about not having what another kid did, we'd hear something like “I don't care what so-and-so got for his birthday.You are not getting a car for your birthday or a lavish sweet-16 party.” We had to earn our allowance (零花钱) by doing chores around the house.My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house.I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our dining table.Sometimes, I couldn't even contain my envy of Chloe, a neighbourhood girl, always beautifully dressed, whose parents satisfied almost every need of her. One day, my mother drove me downtown to buy some household necessities — and there it was in the shopping window.Pink, lovely, delicately trimmed (装饰) with lace, the dress winked (眨眼) at me and I knew I had to have it.“It's beautiful，” my mother said when I pointed it out to her.“What a beautiful dress！” I tried to hide my desire at first.But then I guess I couldn't stand it any longer.“Mum, please get it? I'll do anything, but I need that dress.I love it.Please？” I was desperate. “You know，” she said, gently rubbing my back, “if you save up, you could buy this yourself.” “By the time I make enough, it'll be sold！” “There might be a way，” she said. And so our paying plan unfolded.Mum bought the dress and put it safely in some hiding place which I couldn't find.Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work.Weeks later, I counted and jumped for joy.Oh, I made it！I finally had the exact amount we'd agreed on.Having put on my dress, I flew to school like a bird.However, the unthinkable happened. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 The moment I arrived at the school gate, Chloe appeared in exactly the same dress. ________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ Hearing me crying loudly, Mum gently pushed the door open. __________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 参考范文： The moment I arrived at the school gate, Chloe appeared in exactly the same dress.At the sight of this horrible turn of events, I was green with envy.“How ridiculous！” my heart sank.For Chloe, getting such a dress was merely a piece of cake，while for me, it's just the other way round.With a mixed feeling of rage and grief, I dashed home to tell my mother about this disaster.“It's unfair！” I exclaimed with fury, storming into my room and slamming the door before she could respond. Hearing me crying loudly, Mum gently pushed the door open.“Honey, are you OK？” she walked up to me, gathered me into her arms and tenderly wiped away my tears.After learning about what had happened, she pointed at the shiny dress hanging in the most visible place, adding “Your dress is the most precious one because you paid for it.Don't you think so？” On hearing what she said, I felt much relieved.“Yes, you earned it through hard work，” a firm and cheerful voice answered in my heart.Nothing could be better than gaining the precious thing in that way! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
