Richard Ebright grew up in Pennsylvania as an only child with no scientific family background. Unable to play team sports, he turned to collecting butterflies, rocks and fossils, turning free time into exploration. His father died when Ebright was in third grade, after which his mother became his whole life and his greatest inspiration. Every evening, they sat together at the dining table; if he had nothing to do, his mother would arrange learning tasks for him. “He enjoyed it and was eager to learn,” she recalled.
By fifth grade, Ebright had collected all 25 butterfly species native to his hometown. That might have been the end until his mother gave him The Travels of Monarch X. The book encouraged young readers to label migrating monarchs (a kind of butterfly) for scientific research, and Ebright took part in the project with great enthusiasm. For several years, he raised thousands of monarchs in his basement. A county fair loss taught him a crucial lesson: real science requires genuine experiments, not just neat displays.
In high school, Ebright focused on twelve tiny gold spots on monarch pupae (蛹). Most people thought they were decorative, but he assumed they released a hormone (激素) essential for development. He wrote to Dr. Frederick A.Urquhart, built a device, and proved his theory, which helped him win first place and advance to the International Science and Engineering Fair. His pioneering work provided the first concrete evidence of gene switching in a multicellular organism, laying a cornerstone for modern genetics.
At twenty-two, Ebright and his college roommate published a groundbreaking theory on how cells read DNA blueprints in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Today, as a Board of Governors Professor at Rutgers University, he leads research on bacterial transcription and develops new drugs against tuberculosis. Elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he has received multiple awards. From a curious boy with a butterfly net to a world-renowned biochemist, Ebright proved that passion, persistence, and a supportive mother matter far more than talent.

理查德・埃布赖特在宾夕法尼亚州长大,是家中独子,家里无人从事科学相关工作。他没办法参加团体体育运动,于是开始收集蝴蝶、岩石和化石,把空余时间都用来探索自然。埃布赖特上三年级时父亲离世,自那以后,母亲便成了他生活的全部,也是给予他最大启发的人。每天晚上,母子俩一同坐在餐桌前;只要他无事可做,母亲就会给他安排各类学习任务。母亲回忆道:“他十分乐于接受,求知欲很强。”
到五年级时,埃布赖特已经收集齐了家乡本地全部 25 种蝴蝶。原本他对蝴蝶的探索或许就此止步,直到母亲送给了他《帝王蝶 X 之旅》这本书。这本书鼓励少年读者给迁徙的帝王蝶(一种蝴蝶)做标记,以供科学研究,埃布赖特满怀热忱参与了这项项目。连续好几年,他在自家地下室饲养了数千只帝王蝶。一次县级展览会的失利让他领悟了至关重要的道理:真正的科学离不开实打实的实验,绝非仅仅摆放整齐的展品。
高中时期,埃布赖特将研究重心放在帝王蝶蛹身上十二个微小的金色斑点。大多数人都认为这些斑点只是装饰,可他猜想斑点会释放一种对生长发育不可或缺的激素。他写信向弗雷德里克・A・厄克特博士请教,自制实验装置,最终证实了自己的猜想。这项成果让他拿下展会一等奖,并晋级国际科学与工程大奖赛。他开创性的研究首次为多细胞生物的基因开关机制提供了确凿证据,为现代遗传学奠定了基石。
22 岁那年,埃布赖特与大学室友在《美国国家科学院院刊》发表了一项具有突破性的理论,阐释细胞读取 DNA 遗传图谱的原理。如今,他是罗格斯大学董事会特聘教授,牵头开展细菌转录相关研究,并研发对抗结核病的新型药物。他入选美国艺术与科学院,斩获多项大奖。从一个拿着捕蝶网、充满好奇心的孩童,到全球知名的生物化学家,埃布赖特向世人证明:热爱、坚持,再加上家人的支持,远比天赋更加重要。

(2026·贵州贵阳·一模)There are few people in human history whose last names alone are sufficient to evoke kindness, goodness, wisdom, grace — Mandela, Gandhi, King, Lincoln. Goodall added to that list. The other four left us years ago. Jane Goodall — primatologist, zoologist, anthropologist, conservationist, winner of the U. S. presidential Medal of Freedom, and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) — joined them today, dying at age 91.
Dr. Goodall was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world, and her discoveries were regarded as an ethologist revolutionized science. It was in 1960 that Goodall first arrived in Gombe, where she witnessed a group of chimpanzees eating a bushpig, doing away with the previous belief that chimps were strictly vegetarians. At the same year she made the astonishing observation that chimps strip the bark (树皮) from thin branches and use the bare stick to fish for termites in rotting logs — overturning the even more closely held belief that humans are the only animal to use tools. Chimps, she discovered, mirror humans in other, decidedly less kind ways. From 1974 to 1978 she observed what she called “the four year war,” an extended, bloody conflict between two groups of rival chimpanzees in Gombe — Kasakela group and the Kahama splinter group. At that time she observed cannibalism (嗜食同类) among chimpanzees, when a mother and daughter pair stole, killed, and ate babies in their own community — likely to eliminate a line of rival females. But Goodall discovered a gentle side to chimpanzees too. They play, they kiss, they grieve, and sometimes they make gestural apologies after a quarrel.
In her final article for TIME in 2021, Goodall took up the cause not of animals, but plants, writing about the serious consequences the planet could suffer as millions of acres of trees are cut, razed, and burned every year. At one time, she wrote, the planet was home to six trillion trees. Now that number has been halved — mostly in the last 100 years. She called on readers to support the Trillion Trees campaign — a drive to plant one trillion trees by 2030.
Goodall was all about the hope in her near-century of life. “I’m about to leave the world with all the mess, whereas young people have to grow up into it. If they give in to the pessimism, that’s the end. If you don’t hope, you sink into a state of indifference; hope is a crucial way to get through this.” In her final conversation with TIME, she said.
1.Why does the author mention Mandela, Gandhi, King, Lincoln in Paragraph 1?
A.To explain the meaning behind her last name “Goodall”.
B.To emphasize Jane Goodall’s important international fame.
C.To prove Jane Goodall’s influence on these historical figures.
D.To detail the working relationship between Goodall and them.
2.Which of the following human’s long- held beliefs is challenged according to Goodall’s observation?
A.The concept of humans being unique in the use of tools.
B.The methods for studying animals in their natural habitat.
C.The idea of chimps’ preferences for a various range of foods.
D.The genetic relationship between humans and chimpanzees.
3.What was the main focus of Jane Goodall’s final article for TIME?
A.The importance of international scientific collaboration.
B.The complex social behaviors observed in chimpanzees.
C.The urgent need to protect and restore global forest cover.
D.The ongoing war between different groups of chimpanzees.
4.Which of the following might Goodall agree with according to the last paragraph?
A.Rome wasn’t built in a day. B.Good deeds bring good returns.
C.Every cloud has a silver lining. D.Actions speak louder than words.

Passage 2
(25-26高二下·新疆·期中)On October 18, 2025, the world lost a great physicist when Yang Zhenning passed away in Beijing at the age of 103. Tsinghua University, where he had worked for many years, issued an obituary calling him “one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century” and emphasizing his outstanding contributions to modern physics.
Yang Zhenning’s academic career was filled with groundbreaking achievements. In 1954, he and his collaborator Robert Mills put forward the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory. This theory is so important that it is compared with Einstein’s general theory of relativity and Maxwell’s equations, and it laid the foundation for the later Standard Model of particle physics. Another famous contribution was his work on parity non-conservation in weak interactions, which he developed with Li Zhengdao. This revolutionary idea changed people’s understanding of symmetry in physics and earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957.
In 1999, he officially became a professor at Tsinghua University and later served as the honorary director of the university’s Institute for Advanced Study. Even in his 80s, he still taught undergraduate courses and worked hard to cultivate young physics talents.
In 2021, Yang Zhenning donated more than 2,000 pieces of his collection, including books, manuscripts and images, to Tsinghua University, which set up a special “Yang Zhenning Resource Room” to preserve these precious materials.
1.Why did Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao win the Nobel Prize in Physics?
A.For developing the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory.
B.For proposing the idea of parity non-conservation.
C.For establishing the Standard Model of particle physics.
D.For donating precious materials to Tsinghua University.
2.What is the significance of the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory?
A.It won Yang Zhenning the Nobel Prize alone.
B.It laid the foundation for the Standard Model of particle physics.
C.It changed people’s understanding of gravity.

Passage 3
(25-26高二下·江西赣州·期中)Du Mengran, a researcher at the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has recently made headlines as one of the 2025 Nature’s Top 10 Scientists. Known as “the deep-sea explorer”, she and her team have pushed the boundaries of human knowledge by discovering the world’s deepest known animal ecosystem below 9,000 meters, a breakthrough published in a top scientific journal in 2025.
Born in a small city in Jiangxi Province, Du developed a strong curiosity about the ocean from an early age. She often spent weekends reading marine life books and dreamed of exploring the sea’s unknown parts. After graduating college with a marine biology major, she devoted herself to deep-sea research — a challenging field lacking sufficient support at the time. Many peers advised her to choose a more stable job, but she stuck to her dream and pursued further studies in deep-sea exploration.
In 2024, Du led her team on a deep-sea dive mission. The journey was difficult: extreme deep-sea pressure could easily damage diving equipment, and the dark, cold environment hindered data collection. The team nearly gave up at times, but Du encouraged them with her firm determination. “Every difficulty we overcome brings us closer to the deep sea’s truth,” she said. After months of hard work, they made the extraordinary discovery that shocked the global scientific community.
Nature commented that Du’s discovery opened a new chapter in deep-sea research and provided valuable insights into life’s survival in extreme environments. Her work expands human understanding of the ocean and inspires more young people to pursue science and technology careers. Du remains modest, saying the discovery is the team’s collective effort, and she will continue exploring the deep sea to uncover more of its secrets.
1.What is Du’s main achievement in paragraph 1?
A.A deep-sea diving depth record. B.Lifelong curiosity about the ocean.
C.New diving equipment invention. D.The deep animal ecosystem discovery.
2.What challenges did Du face in her deep-sea exploration?
A.Peer oppositions and extreme weather. B.Family pressure and data collection failures.
C.Limited support and diving equipment risks. D.Funding shortages and communication barriers.
3.Which of the following best describes Du?
A.Honest and confident. B.Careful and friendly.
C.Patient and modest. D.Determined and devoted.
4.What can be the best title for the passage?
A.A New Record: Deep-sea Diving B.A Deep-sea Explorer: Du Mengran
C.A Great Mission: Finding Sea Life D.A Serious Research: Deep-sea Exploration
Passage 4
(2026·陕西·二模)Women have always contributed to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), but their names are often left out of history books. Likewise, girls and women are faced with social and cultural barriers that can prevent them from studying’ STEM subjects in school or thriving in the workplace.
We celebrate women in STEM fields throughout our exhibit floors during the month of March. We worked with teens in our Discovery Corps to identify women whose work is making a lasting impact. This list of honorees is meant to spark conversation and also highlight the many accomplishments of women in STEM.
This is by no means a complete list. Tag us @PacSci on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram to share the names of women scientists, innovators, and inventors in your life!
Tu Youyou
Inspired to pursue medicine after surviving tuberculosis as a teenager, Tu Youyou studied both modern and traditional practices, turning to ancient Chinese texts to find a cure for malaria. After learning that sweet wormwood was a traditional treatment for a common malaria symptom, Tu discovered a way to extract its active compound, artemisinin, saving millions of lives. In 2015, Tu became the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize.
Maryam Mirzakhani
Maryam Mirzakhani was the first woman and first Iranian to win the Fields Medal (2014), the highest honor in mathematics. Mirzakhani solved complex, cross-disciplinary problems that had long puzzled mathematicians in fields such as dynamics, topology, and hyperbolic geometry. She created essential tools that mathematicians say will continue to shape the field for years to come.
Kimberly Bryant
As a black woman studying computer science and electrical engineering, Kimberly Bryant felt a sense of community was missing.

Passage 5
(25-26高二下·黑龙江哈尔滨·开学考试)It was Bi Sheng who invented moveable type printing in Ancient China. But it was Wang Xuan, a professor at Peking University as well as a computer scientist at Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering, who helped China make a big leap (突飞猛进) in modern printing.
Wang was born in Shanghai in 1937, the fifth child of the family. 1 Years later, Wang’s perseverance and devotion turned the boy into a prominent computer scientist. After graduating from Peking University in 1958, Wang worked as a teaching assistant at the university.
In August 1974, the Chinese government started a project to computerize Chinese characters. 2 But he took up the job with great passion, and buried himself in the development of Chinese character typesetting.
3 At that time, a famous British print technology firm was developing a Chinese character typesetting system as well, with an eye to the Chinese market. Furthermore, some considered Wang’s plan crazy.
Considering the characteristics of Chinese characters and the difficulties of publishing them, Wang invented a high-efficiency compression and restoration method for Chinese characters. He went on to develop a laser-printing system. 4
On his road to success, Wang hardly took any holidays and worked over 65 hours a week, even if he was in poor health. He also worked on Chinese New Year’s Eve. 5
On 13 February 2006, this tireless and respected man passed away in Beijing at the age of 69. But his legacy will live on in the pages of Chinese books and newspapers.
A.He was under great pressure.
B.In 1980, China had the first laser-printed book.
C.As a kid, Wang demonstrated his perseverance.
D.When his wife told him the news, Wang had been ill for years.
E.When he heard the exciting news, he finally got a chance to achieve his goal.
F.Too busy to buy supplies, Wang and his wife shared some tofu to celebrate the festival.
G.The invention of paper-making paved the way for the development of printing technologies.
Passage 6
(25-26高二上·吉林·期中)As is known, Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists of all time. He was also a really great person.
Einstein learned from making mistakes
1 , someone asked him what he needed. He said he needed a desk, some paper and pencils. He also needed a basket to hold his mistakes. This shows that he knew even the cleverest man in the world can only learn by making mistakes.
2
Many children wrote letters to ask him for help with their homework. One day, he wrote a letter to a young girl to tell her not to worry about her Maths homework because he thought Maths was difficult too.
Einstein considered time to be important
He never wore socks because he thought putting on socks was a waste of time as people already wore shoes. He also thought remembering things found in books was not worth it. 3 . He knew what was worth remembering. It is true that if we are going to do great things in our lives, we cannot waste time.
Einstein liked to joke too
In one exam, a student asked him why all the questions were the same as last year’s. Einstein replied the questions were the same, but the answers were different. 4 !
When Einstein was a child, his teachers used to say he was not clever. However, Einstein kept working hard and surprised the world with his achievements. 5 , we should think of him. So, never be discouraged
A.Give students a chance to correct their mistakes by themselves
B.That’s why he never remembered his own phone number
C.If we ever feel like giving up when we have problems
D.Einstein was also very strict with his students

His research began in 1979, and by 1986, he had not only 3 a medicine called all trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a particularly deadly form of blood cancer, but also successfully transformed cancer cells in leukemia patients into 4 ones clinically. This innovation has 5 improved the acute APL survival rates.
Wang 6 this treatment to a critically ill five-year-old girl, and after a week, her 7 improved significantly. Within a month, she was completely cured. Moreover, the girl is still 8 and healthy today.
Wang and his team treated a total of 24 patients in that 9 within a year, and all of them experienced full 10 . As the therapy proved highly effective, Wang’s medical approach was 11 in many countries. Later, Wang combined ATRA with a traditional Chinese medicine compound, dramatically 12 APL’s 5-year survival rate from 10% (1978) to over 95%. This made it the world’s first 13 leukemia.

Passage 8
(25-26高二上·广东肇庆·期中)Last Sunday, my class went to visit the Yuan Longping Memorial Hall. We all knew Mr. Yuan was a great scientist who helped solve the food problem for many people. Our teacher told us to take notebooks to 1 important things we learned.
When we arrived, a guide greeted us warmly. She took us to the first hall and showed us photos of Mr. Yuan. We saw him working in the fields — he always wore a simple hat and 2 clothes. The guide told us Mr. Yuan spent most of his life 3 hybrid rice. Even in his 80s, he still went to the fields every day to check the crops. Sometimes he would stay in the fields the whole 4 to watch how the rice grew.
In another room, there were some of Mr. Yuan’s old things: a broken notebook, a used pen, and a pair of muddy shoes. The notebook was full of his 5 about rice research. I felt moved when I looked at these things — they showed how hard Mr. Yuan worked. A classmate of mine even took a photo of the notebook to 6 it.
Then, we watched a short video. It told the story of how Mr. Yuan 7 hybrid rice. At first, many people thought it was impossible. But Mr. Yuan never gave up. After years of hard work, he finally 8 . His rice could feed millions more people. The video made many of us 9 — we were all proud of him.
Before we left, we wrote down our feelings on a wall. I wrote, “Mr. Yuan, you are our hero. We will learn from your 10 and keep working hard.” On the way back to school, my classmates and I talked a lot. We all agreed that this visit was very 11 . We learned not only about Mr. Yuan’s achievements but also about his spirit of 12 .

Richard Ebright grew up in Pennsylvania as an only child with no scientific family background. Unable to play team sports, he turned to collecting butterflies, rocks and fossils, turning free time into exploration. His father died when Ebright was in third grade, after which his mother became his whole life and his greatest inspiration. Every evening, they sat together at the dining table; if he had nothing to do, his mother would arrange learning tasks for him. “He enjoyed it and was eager to learn,” she recalled.
By fifth grade, Ebright had collected all 25 butterfly species native to his hometown. That might have been the end until his mother gave him The Travels of Monarch X. The book encouraged young readers to label migrating monarchs (a kind of butterfly) for scientific research, and Ebright took part in the project with great enthusiasm. For several years, he raised thousands of monarchs in his basement. A county fair loss taught him a crucial lesson: real science requires genuine experiments, not just neat displays.
In high school, Ebright focused on twelve tiny gold spots on monarch pupae (蛹). Most people thought they were decorative, but he assumed they released a hormone (激素) essential for development. He wrote to Dr. Frederick A.Urquhart, built a device, and proved his theory, which helped him win first place and advance to the International Science and Engineering Fair. His pioneering work provided the first concrete evidence of gene switching in a multicellular organism, laying a cornerstone for modern genetics.
At twenty-two, Ebright and his college roommate published a groundbreaking theory on how cells read DNA blueprints in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Today, as a Board of Governors Professor at Rutgers University, he leads research on bacterial transcription and develops new drugs against tuberculosis. Elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he has received multiple awards. From a curious boy with a butterfly net to a world-renowned biochemist, Ebright proved that passion, persistence, and a supportive mother matter far more than talent.

理查德・埃布赖特在宾夕法尼亚州长大,是家中独子,家里无人从事科学相关工作。他没办法参加团体体育运动,于是开始收集蝴蝶、岩石和化石,把空余时间都用来探索自然。埃布赖特上三年级时父亲离世,自那以后,母亲便成了他生活的全部,也是给予他最大启发的人。每天晚上,母子俩一同坐在餐桌前;只要他无事可做,母亲就会给他安排各类学习任务。母亲回忆道:“他十分乐于接受,求知欲很强。”
到五年级时,埃布赖特已经收集齐了家乡本地全部 25 种蝴蝶。原本他对蝴蝶的探索或许就此止步,直到母亲送给了他《帝王蝶 X 之旅》这本书。这本书鼓励少年读者给迁徙的帝王蝶(一种蝴蝶)做标记,以供科学研究,埃布赖特满怀热忱参与了这项项目。连续好几年,他在自家地下室饲养了数千只帝王蝶。一次县级展览会的失利让他领悟了至关重要的道理:真正的科学离不开实打实的实验,绝非仅仅摆放整齐的展品。
高中时期,埃布赖特将研究重心放在帝王蝶蛹身上十二个微小的金色斑点。大多数人都认为这些斑点只是装饰,可他猜想斑点会释放一种对生长发育不可或缺的激素。他写信向弗雷德里克・A・厄克特博士请教,自制实验装置,最终证实了自己的猜想。这项成果让他拿下展会一等奖,并晋级国际科学与工程大奖赛。他开创性的研究首次为多细胞生物的基因开关机制提供了确凿证据,为现代遗传学奠定了基石。
22 岁那年,埃布赖特与大学室友在《美国国家科学院院刊》发表了一项具有突破性的理论,阐释细胞读取 DNA 遗传图谱的原理。如今,他是罗格斯大学董事会特聘教授,牵头开展细菌转录相关研究,并研发对抗结核病的新型药物。他入选美国艺术与科学院,斩获多项大奖。从一个拿着捕蝶网、充满好奇心的孩童,到全球知名的生物化学家,埃布赖特向世人证明:热爱、坚持,再加上家人的支持,远比天赋更加重要。

(2026·贵州贵阳·一模)There are few people in human history whose last names alone are sufficient to evoke kindness, goodness, wisdom, grace — Mandela, Gandhi, King, Lincoln. Goodall added to that list. The other four left us years ago. Jane Goodall — primatologist, zoologist, anthropologist, conservationist, winner of the U. S. presidential Medal of Freedom, and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) — joined them today, dying at age 91.
Dr. Goodall was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world, and her discoveries were regarded as an ethologist revolutionized science. It was in 1960 that Goodall first arrived in Gombe, where she witnessed a group of chimpanzees eating a bushpig, doing away with the previous belief that chimps were strictly vegetarians. At the same year she made the astonishing observation that chimps strip the bark (树皮) from thin branches and use the bare stick to fish for termites in rotting logs — overturning the even more closely held belief that humans are the only animal to use tools. Chimps, she discovered, mirror humans in other, decidedly less kind ways. From 1974 to 1978 she observed what she called “the four year war,” an extended, bloody conflict between two groups of rival chimpanzees in Gombe — Kasakela group and the Kahama splinter group. At that time she observed cannibalism (嗜食同类) among chimpanzees, when a mother and daughter pair stole, killed, and ate babies in their own community — likely to eliminate a line of rival females. But Goodall discovered a gentle side to chimpanzees too. They play, they kiss, they grieve, and sometimes they make gestural apologies after a quarrel.
In her final article for TIME in 2021, Goodall took up the cause not of animals, but plants, writing about the serious consequences the planet could suffer as millions of acres of trees are cut, razed, and burned every year. At one time, she wrote, the planet was home to six trillion trees. Now that number has been halved — mostly in the last 100 years. She called on readers to support the Trillion Trees campaign — a drive to plant one trillion trees by 2030.
Goodall was all about the hope in her near-century of life. “I’m about to leave the world with all the mess, whereas young people have to grow up into it. If they give in to the pessimism, that’s the end. If you don’t hope, you sink into a state of indifference; hope is a crucial way to get through this.” In her final conversation with TIME, she said.
1.Why does the author mention Mandela, Gandhi, King, Lincoln in Paragraph 1?
A.To explain the meaning behind her last name “Goodall”.
B.To emphasize Jane Goodall’s important international fame.
C.To prove Jane Goodall’s influence on these historical figures.
D.To detail the working relationship between Goodall and them.
2.Which of the following human’s long- held beliefs is challenged according to Goodall’s observation?
A.The concept of humans being unique in the use of tools.
B.The methods for studying animals in their natural habitat.
C.The idea of chimps’ preferences for a various range of foods.
D.The genetic relationship between humans and chimpanzees.
3.What was the main focus of Jane Goodall’s final article for TIME?
A.The importance of international scientific collaboration.
B.The complex social behaviors observed in chimpanzees.
C.The urgent need to protect and restore global forest cover.
D.The ongoing war between different groups of chimpanzees.
4.Which of the following might Goodall agree with according to the last paragraph?
A.Rome wasn’t built in a day. B.Good deeds bring good returns.
C.Every cloud has a silver lining. D.Actions speak louder than words.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文回顾了著名灵长类动物学家、环保主义者珍·古道尔博士的生平、她的突破性科学发现(如黑猩猩使用工具、食肉、发动战争等),以及她晚年对环境保护(尤其是森林恢复)的倡导和对“希望”理念的强调。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段“There are few people in human history whose last names alone are sufficient to evoke kindness, goodness, wisdom, grace — Mandela, Gandhi, King, Lincoln. Goodall added to that list. The other four left us years ago.(在人类历史上,很少有人仅仅凭借其姓氏就能让人联想到善良、正直、智慧、优雅——比如曼德拉、甘地、马丁·路德·金、林肯。而古道尔也加入了这一行列。另外四人则早已离我们而去)”可知,作者在第一段中提到了曼德拉、甘地、马丁·路德·金和林肯是为了强调简·古道尔在国际上的重要影响力。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“At the same year she made the astonishing observation that chimps strip the bark (树皮) from thin branches and use the bare stick to fish for termites in rotting logs — overturning the even more closely held belief that humans are the only animal to use tools.(同年,她做出了一个令人震惊的发现:黑猩猩会剥去细树枝的树皮,并用裸露的树枝在腐烂的树干中钓取白蚁——这彻底推翻了人们长期以来更为坚定的观念,即人类是唯一会使用工具的动物)”可知,人类在使用工具方面具有独特性的这一观念受到了挑战。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段“In her final article for TIME in 2021, Goodall took up the cause not of animals, but plants, writing about the serious consequences the planet could suffer as millions of acres of trees are cut, razed, and burned every year. At one time, she wrote, the planet was home to six trillion trees. Now that number has been halved — mostly in the last 100 years. She called on readers to support the Trillion Trees campaign — a drive to plant one trillion trees by 2030.(在2021年为《时代》杂志撰写的最后一篇文章中,古道尔没有像往常那样关注动物,而是转而关注植物。她探讨了随着每年有数百万英亩的树木被砍伐、夷平和焚烧,地球可能会遭受的严重后果。她写道,曾经,地球上有六万亿棵树。而如今,这个数字已经减少了一半——大部分是在过去100年里发生的。她呼吁读者支持“万亿棵树”运动——这是一个到2030年种植一万亿棵树的行动)”可知,简·古道尔为《时代》杂志撰写的最后一篇文章主要关注保护和恢复全球森林覆盖层的紧迫性需求。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“I’m about to leave the world with all the mess, whereas young people have to grow up into it. If they give in to the pessimism, that’s the end. If you don’t hope, you sink into a state of indifference; hope is a crucial way to get through this.(我即将带着这一切的混乱离开这个世界,而年轻人则要在这个世界中成长起来。如果他们屈服于悲观情绪,那一切都将结束。如果你不抱有希望,你就会陷入冷漠的状态;而希望则是度过这一阶段的关键途径)”可知,她在困境中保持乐观和积极信念的人生态度,故古道尔可能会认同“乌云背后总有亮光”故选C。

Passage 2
(25-26高二下·新疆·期中)On October 18, 2025, the world lost a great physicist when Yang Zhenning passed away in Beijing at the age of 103. Tsinghua University, where he had worked for many years, issued an obituary calling him “one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century” and emphasizing his outstanding contributions to modern physics.
Yang Zhenning’s academic career was filled with groundbreaking achievements. In 1954, he and his collaborator Robert Mills put forward the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory. This theory is so important that it is compared with Einstein’s general theory of relativity and Maxwell’s equations, and it laid the foundation for the later Standard Model of particle physics. Another famous contribution was his work on parity non-conservation in weak interactions, which he developed with Li Zhengdao. This revolutionary idea changed people’s understanding of symmetry in physics and earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957.
In 1999, he officially became a professor at Tsinghua University and later served as the honorary director of the university’s Institute for Advanced Study. Even in his 80s, he still taught undergraduate courses and worked hard to cultivate young physics talents.
In 2021, Yang Zhenning donated more than 2,000 pieces of his collection, including books, manuscripts and images, to Tsinghua University, which set up a special “Yang Zhenning Resource Room” to preserve these precious materials.
1.Why did Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao win the Nobel Prize in Physics?
A.For developing the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory.
B.For proposing the idea of parity non-conservation.
C.For establishing the Standard Model of particle physics.
D.For donating precious materials to Tsinghua University.
2.What is the significance of the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory?
A.It won Yang Zhenning the Nobel Prize alone.
B.It laid the foundation for the Standard Model of particle physics.
C.It changed people’s understanding of gravity.
D.It was developed when Yang Zhenning worked at Tsinghua University.
3.What did Yang Zhenning do after 1999?
A.He first returned to China for a visit.
B.He put forward the Yang-Baxter Equation.
C.He taught at Tsinghua University and cultivated talents.
D.He won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
4.When did Yang Zhenning donate his collection to Tsinghua University?
A.In 1957. B.In 1999.
C.In 2021. D.In 2025.
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.C 4.C
【导语】本文介绍了著名物理学家杨振宁的生平、学术成就、对祖国的热爱以及他对后辈人才的培养和贡献。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Another famous contribution was his work on parity non-conservation in weak interactions, which he developed with Li Zhengdao. This revolutionary idea changed people’s understanding of symmetry in physics and earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1157.(他的另一项著名贡献是与李政道合作研究的弱相互作用中的宇称不守恒现象。这一具有革命性的理论改变了人们对物理学中对称性的认知,并为他们赢得了1157年的诺贝尔物理学奖)”可知,杨振宁和李政道获得诺贝尔物理学奖是因为他们提出了宇称不守恒定律。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In 1954, he and his collaborator Robert Mills put forward the Yang-Mills Gauge Field Theory. This theory is so important that it is compared with Einstein’s general theory of relativity and Maxwell’s equations, and it laid the foundation for the later Standard Model of particle physics.(1954年,他与合作者罗伯特·米尔斯提出杨-米尔斯规范场理论。该理论意义重大,常被拿来与爱因斯坦的广义相对论和麦克斯韦方程组相提并论,还为后来的粒子物理标准模型奠定了基础)”可知,杨-米尔斯规范场论为粒子物理学的标准模型奠定了基础。

Passage 3
(25-26高二下·江西赣州·期中)Du Mengran, a researcher at the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has recently made headlines as one of the 2025 Nature’s Top 10 Scientists. Known as “the deep-sea explorer”, she and her team have pushed the boundaries of human knowledge by discovering the world’s deepest known animal ecosystem below 9,000 meters, a breakthrough published in a top scientific journal in 2025.
Born in a small city in Jiangxi Province, Du developed a strong curiosity about the ocean from an early age. She often spent weekends reading marine life books and dreamed of exploring the sea’s unknown parts. After graduating college with a marine biology major, she devoted herself to deep-sea research — a challenging field lacking sufficient support at the time. Many peers advised her to choose a more stable job, but she stuck to her dream and pursued further studies in deep-sea exploration.
In 2024, Du led her team on a deep-sea dive mission. The journey was difficult: extreme deep-sea pressure could easily damage diving equipment, and the dark, cold environment hindered data collection. The team nearly gave up at times, but Du encouraged them with her firm determination. “Every difficulty we overcome brings us closer to the deep sea’s truth,” she said. After months of hard work, they made the extraordinary discovery that shocked the global scientific community.
Nature commented that Du’s discovery opened a new chapter in deep-sea research and provided valuable insights into life’s survival in extreme environments. Her work expands human understanding of the ocean and inspires more young people to pursue science and technology careers. Du remains modest, saying the discovery is the team’s collective effort, and she will continue exploring the deep sea to uncover more of its secrets.
1.What is Du’s main achievement in paragraph 1?
A.A deep-sea diving depth record. B.Lifelong curiosity about the ocean.
C.New diving equipment invention. D.The deep animal ecosystem discovery.
2.What challenges did Du face in her deep-sea exploration?
A.Peer oppositions and extreme weather. B.Family pressure and data collection failures.
C.Limited support and diving equipment risks. D.Funding shortages and communication barriers.
3.Which of the following best describes Du?
A.Honest and confident. B.Careful and friendly.
C.Patient and modest. D.Determined and devoted.
4.What can be the best title for the passage?
A.A New Record: Deep-sea Diving B.A Deep-sea Explorer: Du Mengran
