一、阅读理解(10题)
Chen-Ning Yang (also known as Yang Chen-Ning) is one of the greatest theoretical physicists in the world. He was born in Hefei, Anhui Province, on September 22, 1922.
When he was a child, Yang showed great interest in science. His father was a math professor at Tsinghua University, so he grew up in a strong academic (学术的) environment. During the Second World War, he studied at National Southwestern Associated University in Kunming. After graduation, he went to the United States to study physics in 1945.
In 1957, Yang and his partner Tsung-Dao Lee won the Nobel Prize in Physics. They proposed the theory of parity non-conservation (宇称不守恒理论), which changed modern physics greatly. He also developed the famous Yang-Mills theory with Robert Mills.
Yang loved his homeland deeply. In 2003, he returned to China and worked at Tsinghua University. He taught students and promoted international scientific exchanges. He passed away in Beijing in 2025, at the age of 103.

Have you ever wanted to give up when something was difficult? Everyone faces challenges in life, but the key to success is persistence—continuing to try even when things are hard.
History is full of examples of people who succeeded because they didn’t give up. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, tried over 1,000 times before he found the right material. When asked about his failures, he said, “I didn’t fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps.”
Persistence is not just for famous inventors. It’s important for everyone. Students who keep practicing math problems will get better at them. Athletes who train every day will improve their skills. Even learning to play a musical instrument requires hours of practice. As the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect.”
Of course, persistence doesn’t mean doing the same thing over and over without thinking. It means learning from mistakes and trying new ways. If you’re stuck on a problem, ask for help or take a break. Then come back with a fresh mind.
The next time you face a challenge, remember: giving up is easy, but persistence brings rewards. Whether it’s passing a test, learning a skill, or achieving a goal, your hard work will pay off in the end. As long as you keep trying, you’re already on the path to success.

C.Over 1,000 times D.About 1,500 times
E.More than 2,000 times
8.Which example is NOT mentioned in the passage to show persistence is important for everyone?
A.Students practicing math problems B.Athletes training every day
