Passage1
On May 23rd, China held a press conference (新闻发布会) for the Shenzhou-23 manned spaceflight mission, which was launched at 11:08 pm on Sunday, May 24th. The three-member crew included commander Zhu Yangzhu (spaceflight engineer), pilot Zhang Zhiyuan, and payload specialist (载荷专家) Li Jia-ying. Li became the country’s first astronaut from Hong Kong to carry out a spaceflight mission.
Li was born in Hong Kong in November 1982. Before being chosen as a payload specialist in June 2024, she worked as a superintendent (警司) in the Hong Kong Police Force. When the opportunity came, Li caught it with both hands. In 2022, China opened astronaut selection to Hong Kong and Macau for the first time. Matching all the requirements, Li signed up for it without thinking twice. She fought off all the challenges and tests before she became an official astronaut two years later. Much harder training followed, including 72 hours without sleep and 48 hours of desert survival.
On the Shenzhou-23 mission, Li will join in completing in-orbit crew rotation (在轨乘组轮换), space science experiments, and extravehicular (舱外的) activities. Her journey shows that dreams have no boundaries (边界). As she encourages young people: “The space station might be far away, but your dreams aren’t.”

Passage2
He Rundong, a famous actor from Taiwan province, arrived at the Suqian Olympic Sports Centre Stadium on April 18th. He dressed as Xiang Yu and came to support the key football match between Suqian and Nanjing in the 2026 Jiangsu City Football League.
4 月 18 日,中国台湾知名演员何润东来到宿迁奥林匹克体育中心体育场。他一身项羽装扮,到场助阵 2026 江苏省城市足球联赛宿迁对战南京的焦点足球赛事。
Because of the huge crowd and safety reasons, He didn’t ride a horse. Instead, he stood on an old-style war chariot (战车), holding a long weapon. He waved to the excited fans as he moved around the field.
由于现场观众人数众多,出于安全方面的考虑,何润东没有骑马,而是站在一辆仿古战车上,手持长兵器。他绕场行进,向激动不已的球迷挥手致意。
Later, He Rundong explained his decision with a smile. “I played this role when I was in my thirties. Now I am over fifty,” he said, “Imagine the crowd shouting happily. The king looks brave and strong. But what if I fell down from the horse? It would ruin the perfect image of Xiang Yu and show him no respect. Ten years ago, I would have certainly chosen the horse. But now, I prefer to do things that I can manage.”
之后,何润东笑着说明了自己的考量。“我三十多岁时饰演过这个角色,现在已经五十多岁了,” 他说,“试想全场观众欢声雷动,霸王本该威风凛凛。可如果我从马上摔下来,不仅会破坏项羽的完美形象,也是对他的不尊重。换作十年前,我一定会选择骑马,但如今,我更愿意做自己能稳妥驾驭的事。”
Many people online praised his honest words. They agreed that he was not just caring about his own fame (名誉). Instead, he wanted to protect the spirit and honor of the historical hero. He succeeded. With this “king” watching, Suqian team won the match with a score of 2 to 0.
众多网友纷纷称赞他这番实在的心里话。大家认为他不只是在意个人名气,更是想守护这位历史英雄的风骨与荣光。他做到了。有这位 “霸王” 到场观战,宿迁队最终以 2 比 0 赢得比赛。
Fourteen years ago, He Rundong became popular for playing Xiang Yu in the TV series Legend of Chu and Han. Now, many young people have discovered this role again online. They admire his strong and powerful look, saying that he is one of the greatest actors to play the role of Xiang Yu.
十四年前,何润东凭借电视剧《楚汉传奇》里的项羽一角圈粉走红。如今不少年轻人又在网络上重温了这个经典角色,十分欣赏他英武豪迈的形象,称他是演绎项羽最出色的演员之一。
The event shows that whether in history or on the sports field, a true hero wins the heart of the crowd—not just by being brave, but also by being wise and honest.
这场活动也向我们展现:无论身处历史长河还是运动赛场,真正的英雄之所以能赢得人心,依靠的不只是勇武,还有智慧与坦诚。

Passage3
阅读短文,用英文填空或回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。
Pang Zhongwang, a doctoral student at Tsinghua University, was named one of “Touching China’s 2024 Persons of the Year” on August 16,2025. On that Sunday, Pang said he would promise to work hard and live up to what his mother had expected of him.
Pang was born in Hebei in 1998. His life was really hard. His father had been ill for many years, his mother was disabled, and he himself was born with a heart problem. That meant he would probably need medical care for his whole life. Even with all these difficulties, he kept a positive (积极的) attitude because his mother always encouraged him. “She smiled every day—so why should I feel down?” he said.
In 2017, Pang got into Tsinghua University successfully with a high grade. At first, he felt quite stressed because people had high hopes for him. But later, he found he loved doing research very much. Thanks to his great efforts, he was directly accepted into the Doctor of Philosophy (哲学博士) program. Unluckily, his mother passed away before she could see his achievements.
Pang does not often share his feelings with others. Instead of expressing his love in words, he chooses to honor his mother through his own actions. His mother once wished he could do something for the country, so he made up his mind to focus on scientific research. He is sure that the Chinese people are brave and strong enough to deal with any trouble. “No matter how difficult life is, I will keep going ahead bravely,” he said.
根据短文内容,回答下列问题。
1.When was Pang Zhongwang named one of “Touching China’s 2024 Persons of the Year”?
2.Where was Pang Zhongwang born?
3.Why did Pang Zhongwang stay positive although he had a hard life?
4.How did Pang Zhongwang get into the Doctor of Philosophy program of Tsinghua University?
5.What do you think we can learn from Pang Zhongwang’s story?
【答案】1.On August 16, 2. 3.In Hebei. 4.Because his mother always encouraged him. 5.Through his great efforts. 6.We should face difficulties bravely and never give up.
【解析】本文讲述了庞众望的励志故事,他在困境中保持积极、通过努力实现目标、以行动回报母亲期望。
1.根据“…was named one of ‘Touching China’s 2024 Persons of the Year’ on August 16, 2025.”可知,庞众望在2025年8月16日当选该称号。故填On August 16, 2025.
2.根据“Pang was born in Hebei in 1998.”可知,庞众望出生于河北。故填In Hebei.
3.根据“…he kept a positive attitude because his mother always encouraged him.”可知,他保持积极态度是因为母亲持续的鼓励。故填Because his mother always encouraged him.
4.根据“Thanks to his great efforts, he was directly accepted into the Doctor of Philosophy program.”可知,凭借巨大努力,他被直接录取为哲学博士生。故填Through his great efforts.
5.开放性问题,言之有理即可。参考答案为:We should face difficulties bravely and never give up.
Passage4

【答案】
1.a 2.harder 3.to stop 4.how 5.named 6.has become 7.and 8.from 9.goals 10.themselves
【解析】本文讲述了没有四肢的演说家尼克·胡哲的励志故事,描述了他如何克服先天残疾和校园欺凌,最终通过创办组织、全球演讲激励数百万人。
1.句意:尽管他的人生有一个艰难的开始,但Vujicic用他的希望信息激励了全世界的人。此空位于名词“start”前,泛指一个开始,且“hard”是辅音音素开头的单词,因此应用不定冠词“a”。故填a。
2.句意:他的学校生活比大多数孩子更艰难,因为他经常被霸凌。根据“than”可知此处应用形容词hard“艰难的”的比较级“harder”。故填harder。
3.句意:但他不想让困难阻止他。“want sb. to do sth.”表示“想要某人做某事”,因此此处应用stop“阻止”的动词不定式“to stop”,作宾语补足语。故填to stop。
4.句意:相反,他开始分享他的故事以及他在19岁时如何克服所有困难。此处需要连接词引导宾语从句,根据句子成分“…he overcame all his difficulties at the age of 19”可知缺少方式状语,应用how“怎样”。故填how。
5.句意:在2005年,Vujicic建立了他自己的名为“Life Without Limbs”的组织,来帮助有残疾的人。此处修饰“group”,作定语,并且“name”和“group”是逻辑上的被动关系,因此应用name“命名”的过去分词“named”作后置定语。故填named。
6.句意:从那时起,他成为了一个著名的演讲者。根据“Since then”可知此句应用现在完成时“主语+have/has+动词的过去分词”,主语“he”是单数,助动词应用“has”,动词become“成为”需变为过去分词“become”。故填has become。
7.句意:通过他的演讲、书籍和电视节目,Vujicic鼓励了数百万人克服困难去实现梦想。“to overcome their difficulties”和“to achieve their dreams”是并列关系,此处应用连词and“和”连接。故填and。
8.句意:他教人们真正的幸福来自坚强的意志和努力工作。根据“true happiness comes…a strong will”可知此处应用介词“from”,come from“来自”。故填from。
9.句意:Vujicic的故事提醒我们无论我们面对什么挑战,都可以实现我们的目标并过上幸福的生活。此空前有“our”修饰,名词goal“目标”需变为复数形式“goals”。故填goals。
10.句意:他的故事激励许多人相信自己,从不放弃自己的梦想。根据“His stories have inspired many people to believe in…”可知此处应用“they”的反身代词themselves“他们自己”。故填themselves。

Passage2
He Rundong, a famous actor from Taiwan province, arrived at the Suqian Olympic Sports Centre Stadium on April 18th. He dressed as Xiang Yu and came to support the key football match between Suqian and Nanjing in the 2026 Jiangsu City Football League.
4 月 18 日,中国台湾知名演员何润东来到宿迁奥林匹克体育中心体育场。他一身项羽装扮,到场助阵 2026 江苏省城市足球联赛宿迁对战南京的焦点足球赛事。
Because of the huge crowd and safety reasons, He didn’t ride a horse. Instead, he stood on an old-style war chariot (战车), holding a long weapon. He waved to the excited fans as he moved around the field.
由于现场观众人数众多,出于安全方面的考虑,何润东没有骑马,而是站在一辆仿古战车上,手持长兵器。他绕场行进,向激动不已的球迷挥手致意。
Later, He Rundong explained his decision with a smile. “I played this role when I was in my thirties. Now I am over fifty,” he said, “Imagine the crowd shouting happily. The king looks brave and strong. But what if I fell down from the horse? It would ruin the perfect image of Xiang Yu and show him no respect. Ten years ago, I would have certainly chosen the horse. But now, I prefer to do things that I can manage.”
之后,何润东笑着说明了自己的考量。“我三十多岁时饰演过这个角色,现在已经五十多岁了,” 他说,“试想全场观众欢声雷动,霸王本该威风凛凛。可如果我从马上摔下来,不仅会破坏项羽的完美形象,也是对他的不尊重。换作十年前,我一定会选择骑马,但如今,我更愿意做自己能稳妥驾驭的事。”
Many people online praised his honest words. They agreed that he was not just caring about his own fame (名誉). Instead, he wanted to protect the spirit and honor of the historical hero. He succeeded. With this “king” watching, Suqian team won the match with a score of 2 to 0.
众多网友纷纷称赞他这番实在的心里话。大家认为他不只是在意个人名气,更是想守护这位历史英雄的风骨与荣光。他做到了。有这位 “霸王” 到场观战,宿迁队最终以 2 比 0 赢得比赛。
Fourteen years ago, He Rundong became popular for playing Xiang Yu in the TV series Legend of Chu and Han. Now, many young people have discovered this role again online. They admire his strong and powerful look, saying that he is one of the greatest actors to play the role of Xiang Yu.
十四年前,何润东凭借电视剧《楚汉传奇》里的项羽一角圈粉走红。如今不少年轻人又在网络上重温了这个经典角色,十分欣赏他英武豪迈的形象,称他是演绎项羽最出色的演员之一。
The event shows that whether in history or on the sports field, a true hero wins the heart of the crowd—not just by being brave, but also by being wise and honest.
这场活动也向我们展现:无论身处历史长河还是运动赛场,真正的英雄之所以能赢得人心,依靠的不只是勇武,还有智慧与坦诚。

That meant he would probably need medical care for his whole life. Even with all these difficulties, he kept a positive (积极的) attitude because his mother always encouraged him. “She smiled every day—so why should I feel down?” he said.
In 2017, Pang got into Tsinghua University successfully with a high grade. At first, he felt quite stressed because people had high hopes for him. But later, he found he loved doing research very much. Thanks to his great efforts, he was directly accepted into the Doctor of Philosophy (哲学博士) program. Unluckily, his mother passed away before she could see his achievements.
Pang does not often share his feelings with others. Instead of expressing his love in words, he chooses to honor his mother through his own actions. His mother once wished he could do something for the country, so he made up his mind to focus on scientific research. He is sure that the Chinese people are brave and strong enough to deal with any trouble. “No matter how difficult life is, I will keep going ahead bravely,” he said.
