二、教材解析
Wang Zhenyi —an outstanding woman scholar
Wang Zhenyi(1768-1797)was a female mathematician and an astronomer who lived in the Qing dynasty. She also had a talent for poetry.
Wang grew up in a family that valued education. As a child, she learnt mathematics from her father, astronomy from her grandfather and poetry from her grandmother. When she was a teenager, she spent a lot of time studying and building her knowledge in her grandfather's library.
Wang learnt more and more about astronomy and mathematics, even though the language in the science books was very old-fashioned and difficult to understand. This experience made her realize something important: scientific texts need to be written in a clear way so that everyone can understand them. With this in mind, she rewrote the mathematician Mei Wending’s famous book about calculation. At age 24,she created a simpler method of multiplication and division, and wrote a book about it.
Wang also studied astronomy on her own. She described lunar and solar Eclipses(日食)in her works. In old times, people thought eclipses were a sign that heaven was angry with them, but Wang showed that these events were completely natural. She explained it in a simple way so that ordinary people could understand. She set up a model of a lunar eclipse in a garden. It was made up of a round table representing the Earth, a lamp as the Sun, and a round mirror as the Moon. Wang moved the objects around to show what happens during a lunar eclipse: when the Moon passes into the Earth's shadow, the Moon becomes darker. Her model was clear and simple to understand, even for the youngest people in the audience.
In addition to her achievements in mathematics and astronomy, Wang Zhenyi was an excellent poet, and she wrote about unusually modern topics. Wang knew that women are no less intelligent than men, as we can see in this poem:
It's made to believe,
Women are the same as Men;
Are you not convinced,
Daughters can also be heroic?
In 1994,the International Astronomical Union (IAU)
named a crater on Venus after Wang Zhenyi.
Since she achieved so much in her short time on Earth
—she died at the age of 29—it is fitting that she is remembered beyond it.

Liu Gongquan was a famous calligrapher during the Tang Dynasty. Even as a young boy, he showed great 16 in writing with a brush. His handwriting was neat and powerful, much better than that of other children his age. People often praised him, and slowly, Liu Gongquan began to feel quite 17 of himself. He thought he was already a master and stopped practising as hard as before.
One day, he and his friends went to a temple fair. There, he saw a crowd gathered around an old man with no arms. Curious, Liu Gongquan moved closer to see. To his great 18 , the old man was writing on the ground with his toes! What was even more amazing was that the characters he wrote were much 19 and lively than Liu Gongquan’s own.
Liu Gongquan’s face turned red with 20 . In that moment, he realized how small his own talent was. Here was a man with no arms who could write better with his toes than Liu Gongquan could with his hands! All his pride 21 away. He knelt down in front of the old man and said, “Please, sir, will you teach me? I want to learn from you.”
The old man smiled kindly and said, “I have no secret. I just never stopped 22 . Remember, young man, there is always someone better. True skill comes from endless practice and a 23 heart.”
Deeply moved, Liu Gongquan went home. He threw away all his 24 works and started practising from the beginning. This time, he was not practising for praise, but for the love of the art itself. He studied the works of great calligraphers before him and practised day and night.
Years of being humble and working hard 25 paid off. Liu Gongquan became one of the greatest calligraphers in Chinese history. His story tells us a valuable lesson: no matter how talented you are, staying humble and working hard are the only real paths to true mastery and lasting achievement.

AAlbert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, in 1879. His early life was not like that of a typical “smart kid.” Unlike other children, he learned to speak later than usual, and in traditional classrooms, he often seemed not to pay attention—some teachers even thought he might not be very smart. But deep down, he was extremely curious about how the universe works, and this curiosity would later lead him to make amazing scientific discoveries.
When he grew up, Einstein became one of the most influential theoretical physicists in history. His most important work is the Theory of Relativity (相对论), which completely changed how we understand space, time, and gravity. This theory has two main parts: the Special Theory of Relativity (for objects moving at a constant (不变的) speed without gravity) and the General Theory of Relativity (for objects speeding up or under the influence of gravity). A key equation (公式) from this theory is E=mc²—it clearly shows that energy (E) and mass (m) are connected, with (c) being the speed of light in a vacuum (真空). This idea later helped develop nuclear physics.
Besides his scientific achievements, Einstein was also a person who spoke up for peace and human rights. In the 1930s, when the Nazi government took power in Germany, Einstein had to leave the country. This was because he was Jewish, and the Nazis hated Jewish people. He moved to the United States and took a job at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. There, he kept doing important scientific research until the end of his career.
Even though the Theory of Relativity made Einstein very famous, he won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics not for this theory (some scientists still discussed it at that time) but for explaining the photoelectric effect (光电效应). This effect happens when light of a certain type pushes electrons (电子) out of a material. His explanation provided key proof that light can act like tiny particles (粒子), and this helped build the basis for quantum mechanics (量子力学).
In his free time, Einstein found comfort and new ideas in music. He was good at playing the violin and often played chamber music with friends. He thought music and science were connected—both needed people to find patterns and explore things we don’t yet understand.
Einstein died in 1955 when he was 76 years old, but his ideas still matter today. His theories help guide modern physics, from studying black holes to making GPS (the system that helps us find places) work better. Also, his fight for peace still encourages scientists and activists all over the world.

There was a girl who read every book she could get her hands on, and who was dying to share what she learned with the world. She was Wang Zhenyi (1768—1797), a famous woman scientist and poet from the Qing dynasty.
In the late 1700s, women were usually expected to cook, clean, and have babies. However, when Zhenyi was young, she wanted to learn everything. Her grandfather was once an official and had a collection of over 75 bookshelves. He was her first teacher in astronomy. Her father studied medical science and was the person who taught her medicine, geography, and math. Her grandmother was her teacher of poetry.
Zhenyi learned a lot from her family, but that didn’t mean she just had her nose in a book. While Chinese scientists and philosophers had studied stars for ages, Zhenyi did something quite interesting and new. She used her skills and math knowledge to explain what was happening in the sky. When she was 23, to explain how solar and lunar eclipse (日食月食) happened, Zhenyi used a round table as the Earth, a lamp as the sun and a round mirror to act as the moon. She moved the mirror around the table under the light and showed that when the sun, moon, and Earth were on a line, sunlight was stopped and so eclipse happened.
At the age of 16, Zhenyi journeyed throughout the country with his father. As she did, she saw not only the beauty, but also the problems of her country—the rich were getting richer and paid the poor little attention. Zhenyi also noticed that women were often hidden away from the outside world, working at home for the family. She wanted to capture it all—each moment of her travels. She wanted other people to see, to know, to understand, so she wrote poems and showed them to the public.
Zhenyi got married at the age of 25 and continued to work as an astronomer and poet but died young 4 years later. In total, Wang Zhenyi wrote more than 12 books about science and poems. While many of her writings have been lost, her helps to science continue to be studied today. And in 1994, scientists even named a crater on Venus (金星陨石坑) after her! As she famously wrote in one of her poems, “Do you not believe, daughters can also be heroic?”
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The problem Wang Zhenyi found in her travel.
B. The difficulties Wang Zhenyi faced in her life.
C. The general details of Wang Zhenyi’s life story.
D. The important discoveries made by Wang Zhenyi.
2. Which of the following best describes Wang’ family?
A. Strict but interesting. B. Kind but uneducated.

B. It helped her do better her study in stars.
C. It got her to experience life of ordinary people.
D. It let her believe that daughters can also be heroic.
4. What is the correct order for the following events from Wang’s life?

二、教材解析
Wang Zhenyi —an outstanding woman scholar
Wang Zhenyi(1768-1797)was a female mathematician and an astronomer who lived in the Qing dynasty. She also had a talent for poetry.
Wang grew up in a family that valued education. As a child, she learnt mathematics from her father, astronomy from her grandfather and poetry from her grandmother. When she was a teenager, she spent a lot of time studying and building her knowledge in her grandfather's library.
Wang learnt more and more about astronomy and mathematics, even though the language in the science books was very old-fashioned and difficult to understand. This experience made her realize something important: scientific texts need to be written in a clear way so that everyone can understand them. With this in mind, she rewrote the mathematician Mei Wending’s famous book about calculation. At age 24,she created a simpler method of multiplication and division, and wrote a book about it.
Wang also studied astronomy on her own. She described lunar and solar Eclipses(日食)in her works. In old times, people thought eclipses were a sign that heaven was angry with them, but Wang showed that these events were completely natural. She explained it in a simple way so that ordinary people could understand. She set up a model of a lunar eclipse in a garden. It was made up of a round table representing the Earth, a lamp as the Sun, and a round mirror as the Moon. Wang moved the objects around to show what happens during a lunar eclipse: when the Moon passes into the Earth's shadow, the Moon becomes darker. Her model was clear and simple to understand, even for the youngest people in the audience.
In addition to her achievements in mathematics and astronomy, Wang Zhenyi was an excellent poet, and she wrote about unusually modern topics. Wang knew that women are no less intelligent than men, as we can see in this poem:
It's made to believe,
Women are the same as Men;
Are you not convinced,
Daughters can also be heroic?
In 1994,the International Astronomical Union (IAU)
named a crater on Venus after Wang Zhenyi.
Since she achieved so much in her short time on Earth
—she died at the age of 29—it is fitting that she is remembered beyond it.

2 Read the article again and answer the questions below.
Do you think Wang Zhenyi was ahead of her time? If so, in what way?
Yes, Wang Zhenyi was clearly ahead of her time in two main ways.
First, she broke the old idea that women were less capable than men. Her poems and scientific work showed that women could also be great scholars.
Second, she believed science should be easy to understand for everyone. She simplified math problems and made a simple model to explain eclipses, which is very similar to how science is taught today.
(1)What made Wang Zhenyi an outstanding woman scholar?
What made Wang Zhenyi outstanding was her curiosity, creativity and courage. She overcame difficult old science books to learn math and astronomy, then rewrote them in simple ways so everyone could understand. She also broke old ideas by proving women could be great scholars. Her work was so important that a crater on Venus was named after her.
(2)What can you learn from her?
From Wang Zhenyi, I learn that we should never stop learning and exploring, no matter how difficult things seem. Her courage to challenge unfair ideas and believe in herself also teaches me to be confident. Most importantly, she shows that we can make the world better by sharing knowledge and making complex things easy to understand.

Liu Gongquan was a famous calligrapher during the Tang Dynasty. Even as a young boy, he showed great 16 in writing with a brush. His handwriting was neat and powerful, much better than that of other children his age. People often praised him, and slowly, Liu Gongquan began to feel quite 17 of himself. He thought he was already a master and stopped practising as hard as before.
One day, he and his friends went to a temple fair. There, he saw a crowd gathered around an old man with no arms. Curious, Liu Gongquan moved closer to see. To his great 18 , the old man was writing on the ground with his toes! What was even more amazing was that the characters he wrote were much 19 and lively than Liu Gongquan’s own.
Liu Gongquan’s face turned red with 20 . In that moment, he realized how small his own talent was. Here was a man with no arms who could write better with his toes than Liu Gongquan could with his hands! All his pride 21 away. He knelt down in front of the old man and said, “Please, sir, will you teach me? I want to learn from you.”
The old man smiled kindly and said, “I have no secret. I just never stopped 22 . Remember, young man, there is always someone better. True skill comes from endless practice and a 23 heart.”
Deeply moved, Liu Gongquan went home. He threw away all his 24 works and started practising from the beginning. This time, he was not practising for praise, but for the love of the art itself. He studied the works of great calligraphers before him and practised day and night.
Years of being humble and working hard 25 paid off. Liu Gongquan became one of the greatest calligraphers in Chinese history. His story tells us a valuable lesson: no matter how talented you are, staying humble and working hard are the only real paths to true mastery and lasting achievement.

九、阅读理解
A
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, in 1879. His early life was not like that of a typical “smart kid.” Unlike other children, he learned to speak later than usual, and in traditional classrooms, he often seemed not to pay attention—some teachers even thought he might not be very smart. But deep down, he was extremely curious about how the universe works, and this curiosity would later lead him to make amazing scientific discoveries.
When he grew up, Einstein became one of the most influential theoretical physicists in history. His most important work is the Theory of Relativity (相对论), which completely changed how we understand space, time, and gravity. This theory has two main parts: the Special Theory of Relativity (for objects moving at a constant (不变的) speed without gravity) and the General Theory of Relativity (for objects speeding up or under the influence of gravity). A key equation (公式) from this theory is E=mc²—it clearly shows that energy (E) and mass (m) are connected, with (c) being the speed of light in a vacuum (真空). This idea later helped develop nuclear physics.
Besides his scientific achievements, Einstein was also a person who spoke up for peace and human rights. In the 1930s, when the Nazi government took power in Germany, Einstein had to leave the country. This was because he was Jewish, and the Nazis hated Jewish people. He moved to the United States and took a job at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. There, he kept doing important scientific research until the end of his career.
Even though the Theory of Relativity made Einstein very famous, he won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics not for this theory (some scientists still discussed it at that time) but for explaining the photoelectric effect (光电效应). This effect happens when light of a certain type pushes electrons (电子) out of a material. His explanation provided key proof that light can act like tiny particles (粒子), and this helped build the basis for quantum mechanics (量子力学).
In his free time, Einstein found comfort and new ideas in music. He was good at playing the violin and often played chamber music with friends. He thought music and science were connected—both needed people to find patterns and explore things we don’t yet understand.
Einstein died in 1955 when he was 76 years old, but his ideas still matter today. His theories help guide modern physics, from studying black holes to making GPS (the system that helps us find places) work better. Also, his fight for peace still encourages scientists and activists all over the world.
1. What does the author want to show by mentioning “some teachers even thought he might not be very smart” in Einstein’s early life?
A. Teachers in the past were not good at judging students.
B. Einstein’s talents were not easy to see when he was young.
C. Einstein didn’t work hard in his early school years.
D. Traditional classrooms were not suitable for all students.
2. Which part of Einstein’s work helped develop nuclear physics?
A. The photoelectric effect.
B. The equation E=mc² from the Theory of Relativity.
C. His research on quantum mechanics.
D. His study of black holes.
3. What can we infer from the fact that Einstein won the Nobel Prize for the photoelectric effect instead of the Theory of Relativity?
A. The photoelectric effect was easier to understand.
B. The Theory of Relativity was not true at that time.
C. Scientific achievements need time to be accepted.
D. The Nobel Committee preferred practical research.
4. Why does the author mention “GPS” when talking about Einstein’s legacy?
A. To show Einstein invented GPS technology.
B. To give an example of how Einstein’s theories are used today.
C. To explain what modern physics focuses on.
D. To prove GPS is more important than black hole research.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 4. B
【解析】本文通过爱因斯坦的成长经历、科学贡献及社会活动,展现了他如何从“不被看好的孩子”成为改变世界的科学家,并强调其理论对现代科技与人类思想的深远影响。
1. 推理判断题。根据“His early life was not like that of a typical ‘smart kid.’…some teachers even thought he might not be very smart”可知,作者提到爱因斯坦幼年时老师认为他“不聪明”,是为了对比他后来的伟大成就,说明他的天赋在童年时期未被察觉。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据“A key equation from this theory is E=mc²…This idea later helped develop nuclear physics.”可知,方程 E=mc² 揭示了质量与能量的关系,推动了核物理发展。故选B。
3. 推理判断题。根据“Even though the Theory of Relativity made Einstein very famous, he won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics not for this theory (some scientists still discussed it at that time) but for explaining the photoelectric effect”可知,爱因斯坦因光电效应而非相对论获奖,原因是相对论在当时仍有争议,可见科学成就需要时间被接受。故选C。
4. 细节理解题。根据“His theories help guide modern physics, from studying black holes to making GPS (the system that helps us find places) work better.”可知,作者提到GPS是为了举例说明爱因斯坦理论的现代应用。故选B。
B
There was a girl who read every book she could get her hands on, and who was dying to share what she learned with the world. She was Wang Zhenyi (1768—1797), a famous woman scientist and poet from the Qing dynasty.
In the late 1700s, women were usually expected to cook, clean, and have babies. However, when Zhenyi was young, she wanted to learn everything. Her grandfather was once an official and had a collection of over 75 bookshelves. He was her first teacher in astronomy. Her father studied medical science and was the person who taught her medicine, geography, and math. Her grandmother was her teacher of poetry.
Zhenyi learned a lot from her family, but that didn’t mean she just had her nose in a book. While Chinese scientists and philosophers had studied stars for ages, Zhenyi did something quite interesting and new. She used her skills and math knowledge to explain what was happening in the sky. When she was 23, to explain how solar and lunar eclipse (日食月食) happened, Zhenyi used a round table as the Earth, a lamp as the sun and a round mirror to act as the moon. She moved the mirror around the table under the light and showed that when the sun, moon, and Earth were on a line, sunlight was stopped and so eclipse happened.
At the age of 16, Zhenyi journeyed throughout the country with his father. As she did, she saw not only the beauty, but also the problems of her country—the rich were getting richer and paid the poor little attention. Zhenyi also noticed that women were often hidden away from the outside world, working at home for the family. She wanted to capture it all—each moment of her travels. She wanted other people to see, to know, to understand, so she wrote poems and showed them to the public.
Zhenyi got married at the age of 25 and continued to work as an astronomer and poet but died young 4 years later. In total, Wang Zhenyi wrote more than 12 books about science and poems. While many of her writings have been lost, her helps to science continue to be studied today. And in 1994, scientists even named a crater on Venus (金星陨石坑) after her! As she famously wrote in one of her poems, “Do you not believe, daughters can also be heroic?”
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The problem Wang Zhenyi found in her travel.
B. The difficulties Wang Zhenyi faced in her life.
C. The general details of Wang Zhenyi’s life story.
