After graduating from Peking University in 1963, she volunteered to work at the Dunhuang Academy in Gansu Province, despite the extremely harsh living conditions—there was no running water, no electricity, and sandstorms hit the area almost every week. At first, many people doubted whether a young woman from Beijing could stick to such a tough life. But Fan stayed. Over the past 60 years, she has devoted all her time and energy to protecting and studying the Mogao Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that houses over 2,000 colored sculptures and 45,000 square meters of ancient murals. In the 1980s, Fan noticed that the growing number of tourists was causing damage to the fragile murals. She led a team to launch a digital preservation project, scanning every mural and sculpture to build a complete digital archive. Thanks to her efforts, people can now enjoy the beauty of Dunhuang art online without touching or harming the original works. In 2019, Fan was awarded the Medal of the Republic, China’s highest state honor. When asked why she spent her whole life in the desert, she simply said, “Dunhuang is not just a historical site—it’s a treasure of Chinese civilization. I just did what I was supposed to do.” 31．Why did Fan Jinshi choose to work at the Dunhuang Academy? A．She wanted to escape the busy city life in Beijing.

B In 2024, Wang Haoze made history as China’s first female flight engineer and a member of the Shenzhou-19 crew. Her journey from a rocket engineer to a space hero is a story of courage, hard work, and the power of a willing mind. Born in 1990 in Hebei Province, Wang Haoze grew up in a strict but loving family. From a young age, she learned the value of persistence. In 2008, she passed the Gaokao and joined Southeast University in Nanjing. There, she was good at studying and loved sports, often competing in races. After graduating in 2015, Wang became a rocket engineer in Beijing. She worked hard and enjoyed her job. But she dreamed of something bigger. In 2018, she applied for China’s astronaut program. Over two years, she faced hard tests against over 2,500 people. Although she failed many times, she never gave up. Finally, she became one of the 18 new astronauts—and the only woman in the group. On October 30, 2024, Wang’s dream came true. She flew into space with two teammates aboard Shenzhou-19. She became the third female astronaut in China’s history. Wang Haoze’s story shows that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things. Her courage and persistence inspire people to pursue their dreams, no matter how impossible they seem. She proves that women can excel in science and space exploration, fields that were once thought to be only for men. When asked about her journey, Wang said, “The challenges were many. But I knew that if I gave up, I would never know what I could achieve. I just kept going, one step at a time.” 36．What was Wang Haoze’s job before she became an astronaut? A．A teacher.

D．Only men can be astronauts. 39．What quality does the passage mainly highlight about Wang Haoze? A．Her intelligence. B．Her courage and persistence. C．Her popularity. D．Her family background. 40．What is the best title for this passage? A．The History of China’s Space Program. B．A Woman Who Never Gave Up. C．How to Become an Astronaut. D．The Importance of Science. 五、单词拼写。(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 41．We should treat all ________ (人类) with kindness and respect. 42．This ancient ________ (朝代) has a long and wonderful history. 43．I have many happy memories from my ________ (童年). 44．The mouse ran into a small ________ (洞) in the wall and hid there. 45．I always mark the dates of exams and holidays on my desk ________ (日历) so that I 46．We should cherish the happy days in our ________ (童年). 47．This ________ (收集物；收藏品) includes lots of old photos. 48．Space ________ (探索) attracts thousands of young people. 49．It is ________ (令人钦佩的) that he has kept working for the public for 40 years. 50．Mozi was a great ________ (思想家) and the inventor of the kite in ancient China. 六、完成句子。(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 51．她是一个发现了新元素的化学家。 She is the chemist ________ ________ a new element. 52．帮助我们度过那段困难时期的人是真正的英雄。 The people ________ helped us through those difficult times are true ________. 53．她是我最钦佩的科学家。 She is the scientist ________ I ________ most. 54．许多科学家希望有一天能为地球上的学生开展太空直播授课。 Many scientists hope to ________ ________ ________ ________ in space for students on Earth one day. 55．怀着强烈的好奇心，她不断询问关于王亚平太空之行的问题。 With ________ ________, she kept asking questions about Wang Yaping’s space trip. 七、改写句子。(本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 56．I admire Yuan Longping most.（对划线部分提问） ________ ________ you admire most? 57．Zhong Yang spent all his life collecting plant seeds.

G．What prize did he win for his rice study? 【答案】26．B 27．E 28．C 29．F 30．A 【导语】本文围绕李华读完一本讲述励志人物的书籍展开对话，介绍了袁隆平先生的贡献、科研付出，并探讨我们可以从他身上学到的精神。 26．下文李华介绍书中人物袁隆平，A询问这本书介绍的是谁，B选项“Who is the book about?”符合对话逻辑。 27．A表示自己知晓袁隆平，E选项“He made great contributions to solving global hunger.” 介绍袁隆平的伟大贡献，和后文李华讲述他毕生投身水稻研究相衔接，符合语境。 28．下文李华的回答“He spent lots of time working in farm fields and kept carrying out field tests year by year.”，表明A询问他在研究中付出了怎样艰苦的努力，C选项“What hard work did he do for research?” 完美匹配答句内容。 29．李华表达我们应当向这类人学习、学习永不放弃的精神，F选项“What can we learn from his story?”衔接自然。 30．听完观点后A表示认同，A选项“I couldn’t agree more.”表示完全赞同，承接上文观点，并引出自己要更加努力实现梦想的表述，符合对话逻辑。 四、阅读理解。(本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分) A Fan Jinshi, born in 1938, is widely known as the “Daughter of Dunhuang”. After graduating from Peking University in 1963, she volunteered to work at the Dunhuang Academy in Gansu Province, despite the extremely harsh living conditions—there was no running water, no electricity, and sandstorms hit the area almost every week. At first, many people doubted whether a young woman from Beijing could stick to such a tough life. But Fan stayed. Over the past 60 years, she has devoted all her time and energy to protecting and studying the Mogao Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that houses over 2,000 colored sculptures and 45,000 square meters of ancient murals. In the 1980s, Fan noticed that the growing number of tourists was causing damage to the fragile murals.

Her journey from a rocket engineer to a space hero is a story of courage, hard work, and the power of a willing mind. Born in 1990 in Hebei Province, Wang Haoze grew up in a strict but loving family. From a young age, she learned the value of persistence. In 2008, she passed the Gaokao and joined Southeast University in Nanjing. There, she was good at studying and loved sports, often competing in races. After graduating in 2015, Wang became a rocket engineer in Beijing. She worked hard and enjoyed her job.

She flew into space with two teammates aboard Shenzhou-19. She became the third female astronaut in China’s history. Wang Haoze’s story shows that ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things. Her courage and persistence inspire people to pursue their dreams, no matter how impossible they seem. She proves that women can excel in science and space exploration, fields that were once thought to be only for men. When asked about her journey, Wang said, “The challenges were many. But I knew that if I gave up, I would never know what I could achieve. I just kept going, one step at a time.” 36．What was Wang Haoze’s job before she became an astronaut? A．A teacher.

After graduating from Peking University in 1963, she volunteered to work at the Dunhuang Academy in Gansu Province, despite the extremely harsh living conditions—there was no running water, no electricity, and sandstorms hit the area almost every week.
