Born 　2　 14 March 1879, Einstein tried to enter university in Switzerland when he was 16, but failed due to his low scores in the general part of the 　3　(enter) exam, though he did succeed in obtaining exceptional scores in maths and physics. It was in 1896 　4　 he managed to pass the exam. While 　5　(work) in the Swiss patent office, he continued to study and earned a doctorate in physics in 1905. Four years later he quit the job and 　6　(be) committed to full-time research at a university. In 1922, he 　7　(award) the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect.  Sadly, the great genius had to flee Germany in 1933, 　8　 Hitler came to power.

The fungus killed any bacteria colony it touched. Rather than simply starting over, Fleming switched his focus to the fungus. He identified the bacteria-killing substance, which he called “penicillin”, and created the new field of antibiotics(抗生素). That’s how most people see innovation: a flash of brilliance and a “eureka moment” when a new world is born in an instant. The truth, however, is not that simple. It wasn’t until 1943 that penicillin came into widespread use. To put Fleming’s discovery in context, consider Ignaz Semmelweis, who pioneered hand washing in maternity wards(产房), significantly reducing childbed fever but receiving criticism instead of fame. That was because in the 1850s, his ideas conflicted with the popular theory, which suggested that disease resulted from “bad air”. After his death in 1865, the germ(细菌) theory was finally accepted, paving the way for Fleming’s later work. Fleming was a gifted biologist but a poor communicator. When he published his results in 1929, few took notice. In 1935, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain discovered Fleming’s paper, understood its importance, and developed methods to produce penicillin in quantity. By 1943, with World War Ⅱ going on fiercely, the War Production Board asked 21 companies to mass-produce penicillin, saving countless lives and ushering in the new age of antibiotics. Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945.  Penicillin’s success owes much to the government support. For many other groundbreaking innovations like the Internet and GPS, their innovators, while carving their own path, are often uncertain of where the opportunity lies until they team up with other informed officials and big firms that might have the resources to turn their ideas into reality quickly. So, look at any significant innovation and the myth of the lone genius, and the “eureka moment” breaks down. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 1.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?

In a world of distractions, staying committed often feels challenging, yet it unlocks significant growth and fulfillment. Commitment alone doesn’t guarantee(保证) success. 　1　 It transforms intentions into achievements, whether through daily habits like early morning runs and professional projects, or through supporting loved ones.  At its core, commitment is a silent promise that drives meaningful pursuit. By devoting ourselves to goals, we uncover hidden strengths and turn ordinary efforts into extraordinary outcomes. In relationships, personal growth or careers, commitment bridges ambitions and fulfillment, fostering resilience(适应能力)to overcome setbacks. Embracing the unknown is central to commitment. Exploring new and unknown areas—like choosing a different or unusual path—combines excitement and fear. 　2　 Committing without knowing the outcome builds resilience, preparing us for life’s unpredictability. Every step forward strengthens resolve, much like the situation of innovators who dared to explore the unfamiliar.  　3　 Break goals into actionable steps, match tasks with long-term visions and celebrate small wins to keep motivation going. Consistency matters: small daily efforts add up over time. Building strong habits helps you handle challenges, while reflecting on progress creates a cycle of improvement—success drives more commitment.  Belief in oneself can change things. 　4　 Think about how a motivational speaker’s strong belief in his message can inspire millions. This belief comes from constant self-improvement and having a clear goal. By developing this mindset, challenges turn into stepping stones and passions become lifelong pursuit.  Ultimately, commitment is a lifestyle. It shapes one’s character, guiding us through challenges and victories. Each step strengthens the belief that anything is possible with hard work. 　5　  A.However, without it, success is impossible. B.It discourages us from embracing challenges. C.To stay committed, practical strategies are key. D.Yet uncertainty holds opportunities for discovery. E.It requires consistent action, even when progress feels slow. F.It can fuel passion during doubt, inspiring us to pursue ambitious goals. G.Embrace the journey courageously, letting commitment be your compass. 1.　　　　2.　　　　3.　　　　4.　　　　5.　　　   Ⅴ.读后续写 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。 Maddy’s daughter Cathy suffered from a condition called spina bifida(脊柱裂). She spent most of her life in a wheelchair, which made even the simplest tasks a tough challenge. One such challenge for Cathy was getting a haircut. As Maddy’s neighbor, I witnessed the daily struggle firsthand and felt the urge to help. A hairstylist myself, I decided to visit Maddy’s home to cut Cathy’s hair. Little did I know this small act would light a spark within me. Through my visit, I realized that many others in our community had the same problem. Maddy explained the difficulties special groups of people encountered—the loud noises and strong smells in regular hair salons were too much for people with autism(孤独症). Also, just getting into a salon was tough for people in wheelchairs. Her words touched me, and I wondered if there was something more I could do to help. An idea began to form in my mind—I could open a special salon, a place where people with physical disabilities or psychological problems would feel more comfortable. It wouldn’t be tough to enter for people in wheelchairs; it would also have floors with different textures(纹理) to help those who can’t see well. To make the place even more comfortable, it would have calm music instead of loud pop songs. Toys and blankets would be on hand to help people stay calm. Hairstylists would use quiet hairdryers and soft voices. They would also learn how to help customers who don’t like others touching their hair. Most importantly, they would treat every customer with the same level of respect. The only issue was that I didn’t have the funds to make this dream a reality. As a hairstylist, I had limited savings. Maddy suggested, “How about organizing a community bazaar (义卖) in our neighborhood this Saturday to raise funds for the salon?” Her eyes shone with enthusiasm as she continued, “People love supporting good causes, and I’m sure many will join in to help create a place where everyone feels comfortable getting a haircut.” I nodded, recognizing the brilliance in her plan. 注意:续写词数应为 150个左右。 As Saturday

7.which　考查定语从句。分析句子结构,设空处无提示词,空前有逗号,逗号后面内容缺少主语,结合语境可知主语为逗号前面内容,所以设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为主句的内容,关系词在从句中作主语,故填which。 8.had taught　考查时态。句意:自 1999 年起,他就一直在清华大学任教,致力于培养人才和推动基础科学研究。设空处为句子谓语,根据时间状语“Since

not that simple.”转折,指出青霉素直到1943年才被广泛应用,打破了人们对“创新是瞬间领悟”的常见误解。因此,前两段主要是纠正一种普遍的认知偏差,即创新不是瞬间完成的。故选C。 2.D　推理判断题。第三段介绍了Ignaz Semmelweis率先倡导的产房洗手制度,虽因理念与当时主流观点冲突未获认可,但他的理念为后来细菌理论的接受和Fleming的研究奠定了基础。由此可推断,该段传递的信息是“早期的研究为后来的突破奠定了基础”。故选D。 3.B　词义猜测题。画线短语前指出,Howard Florey 和 Ernst Chain研发出青霉素量产的方法,二战期间21家公司大规模生产青霉素,拯救了无数生命;结合后文的“the new age of antibiotics”可知,青霉素的广泛应用开启了抗生素的新时代。因此,ushering in意为“开启;开创”。故选B。 4.D　主旨大意题。文章以青霉素的发现和推广过程为核心,介绍了其从1928年被发现到1943年被广泛应用的漫长历程,进而说明重大创新并非依赖“孤独天才”和“顿悟时刻”,而是需要前期积累、团队协作和外部支持。因此,“通往青霉素的漫长之路:创新是如何发生的”最能概括文章主旨。故选D。 Ⅳ.语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕承诺展开,阐述了承诺的核心内涵、重要意义,给出践行承诺的策略,呼吁以承诺指引生活 。 1.A　过渡句。空前一句指出,仅凭承诺不能保证成功,空后说明它能将意图转化为成就。A项“然而,没有它,成功是不可能的”既与前文“承诺不能保证成功”形成转折关系,又与后文“承诺的作用”形成逻辑衔接,符合语境。故选A。 2.D　细节句。本段主旨是“接纳未知的事物是承诺的核心”,空前一句提到探索全新的未知领域既有兴奋也有恐惧。D项“然而,不确定性中蕴藏着发现的机遇”进行转折,突出未知领域的积极面,符合语境。D项中的uncertainty对应前文的unknown areas和后文的without knowing the outcome。故选D。 3.C　主旨句。根据文章结构及其他段主旨句位置可推知,设空处为本段主旨句。后文提到将目标拆分为可执行的步骤(Break goals into actionable steps)、保持连贯性(Consistency)、培养强大的习惯(Building strong habits)、反思进步(reflecting on progress),这些均是保持承诺的策略。C项“要保持承诺,实用策略是关键”概括了本段主旨,符合语境。故选C。 4.F　细节句。本段主旨是“相信自己能改变一切”,空后句以励志演讲者为例佐证信念的力量。F项“它能在疑虑时点燃热情,激励我们追求宏伟的目标”具体阐释了“自我信念”的作用,衔接空前的主旨与空后的例证,符合语境。故选F。 5.G　总结句。前文围绕承诺的内涵、意义和践行承诺的策略展开,最后一段进行总结,强调承诺是一种生活方式,它塑造一个人的性格,指引我们历经挑战与胜利。G项“勇敢地拥抱这段旅程,让承诺成为你的指南针”对全文进行总结升华,符合结尾句的特点。故选G。 Ⅴ. 写作指导 情节线 情感线 故事要素 Time 周六义卖的时候 　同情怜悯 Cathy的不幸 惊讶,难过 热心 对义卖的情况 感到兴奋,对 参与者感激 喜悦 感受到人与人之 间的同情与关怀 Place 社区 Character I (Maddy’s neighbor), Maddy, Cathy(Maddy’s daughter) 情节 Background Cathy患有脊柱裂,对她来说,理发是一个挑战,作为她家的邻居,“我”目睹了她每天的挣扎,决定帮助她。 Beginning 在和Maddy的交谈中,“我”知道了社区中还有许多其他人遇到了同样的问题,于是“我”决定开一个特别的美发厅,帮助那些身心有残疾的人。 Development 由于缺乏资金,“我们”想到周六在社区组织一个义卖活动来为美发厅筹集资金。 续写方向 Para. 1 As Saturday approached,something changed in our neighborhood. ①社区发生了什么变化?(景象描写) ②周围的邻居为此次义卖做了什么?(动作、场景描写) ③在此次义卖中,“我”和Maddy的感受如何? Para. 2 Even after the end of the community bazaar,our neighbors’ support didn’t stop there. ①义卖结束后,邻居们还为美发厅做了什么?(衔接第一句) ②美发厅创立后,“我”做了什么?(结合文章开头提到的Cathy) ③从此次义卖中,“我”得到的感悟是什么? One possible version: As Saturday approached,something changed in our neighborhood. The familiar streets became lively with colorful stalls, each offering different goods and crafts. The smell of freshly baked bread filled the air, and the sounds of laughter and cheerful chatter echoed in the air. Neighbors, young and old, flocked to the event, making contributions not only as buyers but also as sellers and volunteers. Our community bazaar, once just an idea, had blossomed into a real gathering with a shared purpose. Seeing how successful the event was, I felt excited and grateful. Judging from Maddy’s smile, I knew she shared the same feeling with me. Even after the end of the community bazaar,our neighbors’support didn’t stop there. Donations continued to flow in, and several local businesses reached out to us, offering to donate materials to the salon. My heart would swell with joy every time I saw their enthusiastic smiles. After six months, we finally had enough funds to open our hair salon. I invited Cathy to be our first customer. As I watched the scissors cutting through the air, I realized it wasn’t just a haircut for Cathy—it symbolized the sympathy and care of social members coming together to make a positive difference. 51 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
