After graduating from Peking University in 1963, she went to work in Dunhuang. At that time, life there was very hard. There was no electricity or running water. The drinking water was bitter. But Fan fell in love with the art of the caves and decided to stay. For over 50 years, Fan devoted herself to researching and protecting the ancient Dunhuang caves. These caves house about 45,000 square metres of wall paintings and over 2,000 painted sculptures. Sadly, these treasures were damaged by natural causes and overtourism. In the late 1980s, Fan came up with the idea of digitalizing the caves. She led her team to create the "Digital Dunhuang" website after more than 30 years of hard work. Thanks to her efforts, people around the world can now enjoy this wonder online. Fan is now in her old age, but she is still working hard. She says, "I have done nothing special. I just did my duty." However, to us, she is a true example of a meaningful life. 6. When did Fan Jinshi go to work in Dunhuang? A. In 1938. B. In 1950. C. In 1963. D. In 1980. 7. What was life like in Dunhuang when Fan first arrived? A. Easy and modern. B. Hard with no electricity or running water. C. Full of tourists. D. Close to her hometown. 8. What did Fan Jinshi do to protect the caves? A. She built new caves. B. She moved the paintings to museums. C. She digitalized the caves. D. She stopped all visitors. 9. What does the underlined word "treasures" mean in Paragraph 2? A. 金银财宝 B. 珍贵文物 C. 自然风景 D. 古老建筑 10. What does the writer think of Fan Jinshi? A. She is a famous artist. B. She is a true example of a meaningful life. C. She should have left Dunhuang earlier. D. She did nothing special. C What makes a life meaningful? Some people think it means being rich or famous. But true meaning comes from being useful to others and society. A meaningful life does not require great wealth or high position. Lei Feng was an ordinary soldier. He had little money and no high rank. Yet he spent his free time helping old people, carrying luggage for strangers, and doing many small good deeds. He became a symbol of kindness because he showed that anyone can make a difference. History also remembers those who devoted themselves to important causes. Fan Jinshi protected cultural treasures. Yuan Longping worked to feed the world. They did not seek fame. They simply did what they believed was right. So how can we live a meaningful life? Start small. Help a classmate with homework. Pick up rubbish in the park. Listen to a friend who feels sad. These small acts may seem unimportant, but together they make the world better. Remember, it is not about being the most attractive or the strongest. It is about being useful. As the peanut teaches us, true value lies not in appearance but in what we give to others. 11. What do some people think makes life meaningful? A. Being rich or famous. B. Being strong. C. Being attractive. D. Being free. 12. What did Lei Feng do in his free time? A. He trained hard. B. He helped others. C. He studied science. D. He wrote books. 13. What does the writer say about Fan Jinshi and Yuan Longping? A. They were very rich. B. They did not seek fame. C. They wanted to be famous. D. They lived in big cities. 14. What does the writer suggest we do to live a meaningful life? A. Start with small acts of kindness. B. Try to become famous. C. Look for high positions. D. Move to another city. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. We should eat more peanuts. B. True meaning comes from being useful to others. C. Only famous people can have meaningful lives. D. We should all work in museums. 第二部分 非选择题（共 45 分） 四、词汇运用（本大题共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，共 10 分） A) 根据句意及首字母提示写出单词（每空限填一词）。 1.

He made a living by driving a pedicab in Tianjin. He was not rich. In fact, he lived a very simple life. He wore old clothes and ate simple food. But he had a big heart. In 1987, when Bai was 74 years old, he started to donate money to help poor students go to school. Over the next 18 years, he donated about 350,000 yuan. He helped more than 300 poor students continue their studies. Every day, he got up early and worked late. He sent passengers around the city and saved every coin he could. People often saw him eating simple noodles by the roadside. Bai never thought of himself. He said, "I cannot read much, but I know education is important. I want these children to have a better future." He kept working until he was 90 years old. Even after he stopped driving, he still gave away his savings to help students. Bai Fangli passed away in 2005. He left nothing for himself, but he left a great spirit for all of us. His story tells us that a meaningful life comes from giving, not from taking.

In my opinion, it means helping others and contributing to society, just like the peanut in the story. Fan Jinshi is a great example. She devoted her life to protecting the Dunhuang caves. Though life there was hard, she never gave up. Her work helps people around the world enjoy Chinese culture. Another example is Bai Fangli, an old pedicab driver. He donated most of his money to poor students. He was not rich, but he was truly useful. As a student, I will start with small things. I will help my classmates with their studies. I will volunteer in my community. I will study hard so that I can contribute more in the future. I believe that being useful is the best way to make life beautiful and meaningful. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
