It’s all because of one great woman—Wang Hong. Wang was born in 1991 in Guilin. Her parents were both middle school teachers. She showed an unusual talent for maths at an early age. When she was just five years old, she already finished first-grade maths and went straight to second grade. Some people think talent makes life easy. . In middle school, her grades were not good at first—she was not in the top 100. But she didn’t give up. She worked very hard, and later became one of the top ten students in her grade. At the age of sixteen, she entered Peking University and learned more about maths. In 2011, Wang went to France to study. “I felt a little lost at that time,” the girl said. “I gave up on maths and studied architecture (建筑学) for six months. Then I remembered how hard I had learned maths before. I only doubted myself because my classmates were all very smart.” Wang became confident again and returned to maths. She studied even harder and got her PhD at MIT (美国麻省理工学院). This past February, Wang did something really amazing. She solved a century-old maths problem—the Kakeya conjecture (卡凯亚猜想). Mathematicians (数学家) all over the world were so surprised and excited! Now, Wang is a professor at two great universities. With talent, hard work, and passion, Wang Hong is living a future bigger than her dreams. 26.Which sentence can be put in the blank in paragraph 3? A.And Wang achieved a lot of praise.

D.Because she found architecture too difficult. 28.What surprised mathematicians all over the world in 2025? A.Wang Hong worked hard and got her PhD at MIT.

Not many people enjoy eating them, even though these vegetables are full of vitamins and good for health. So what causes these differences in our taste? ②Scientists have found many answers to this question. First, the number of taste buds (味蕾) on our tongues differs from one person to another. People with more taste buds are known as “supertasters”. They can taste certain flavours and foods more strongly than other people, so they often prefer foods cooked in a lighter way, such as steamed vegetables or boiled fish. People with fewer taste buds often have a love for spicy (辣的) foods, as the strong spices can stimulate their taste buds and bring a much clearer sensory (感官的) experience. ③Our sense of taste depends on more than just how many taste buds we have. It also depends on our taste buds’ ability to sense certain chemicals in the food we eat. They help our brain tell the five basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami (鲜味). Even the temperature of food can influence this process—warm dishes often bring out richer flavours compared to cold ones. ④Gender (性别) and culture also have an effect on our taste. Women tend to prefer sweet foods, while men often prefer salty foods. Bitter foods are more widely enjoyed in places where people eat them regularly. For example, people in some Asian countries often add bitter herbs to soups, making it easy for locals to accept and even love the unique taste. ⑤Experience plays a role in our taste as well. For example, babies tend to like the foods their mothers ate before they were born, and adults may start to enjoy once-disliked foods after trying them repeatedly in different recipes. A person who hated tomatoes before may fall for tomato pasta after tasting a well-cooked one with cheese. 30.Which word can best replace the underlined word “stimulate” in paragraph 2? A.Reduce. B.Destroy. C.Control. D.Awaken. 31.What role does gender play in taste preferences? A.Men prefer sweet foods, while women prefer salty foods. B.Women prefer sweet foods, while men prefer salty foods. C.Both men and women prefer bitter foods. D.Gender has no effect on taste preferences. 32.Which is the right structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 33.What is the main idea of the passage? A.How to improve your sense of taste. B.The health benefits of broccoli and carrots. C.The history of ice cream and pizza. D.Why people have different tastes in food. 阅读短文,从短文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。 Pablo Picasso, born on October 25, 1881, was a great Spanish artist.
