(A)
Yuan Longping, known as the “Father of Hybrid Rice”, devoted his life to solving hunger in China and beyond. Born in 1930 in Beijing, he witnessed severe food shortages during his childhood. This painful experience planted a deep desire in his heart. He wanted to ensure that no one would ever go to bed hungry again.
After graduating from agricultural college, Yuan began his research on rice. At that time, many scientists believed that hybrid rice was impossible because rice was a self-pollinating plant. However, Yuan refused to accept this limitation. He spent over a decade searching for a naturally occurring male-sterile(雄性不育的)rice plant in the fields. In 1970, he finally found one in Hainan. This discovery marked a turning point. Through cross-breeding, he successfully developed the first high-yield hybrid rice varieties, which produced 20% more grain per unit area than traditional ones.
Yuan’s breakthrough did not remain in the laboratory. He travelled to countless villages, teaching farmers new planting techniques. His hybrid rice was soon planted across China, massively increasing the country’s total rice output. This achievement not only fed nearly one-fifth of the world’s population but also provided solutions to developing nations in Africa and Southeast Asia. For his contributions, Yuan received the World Food Prize in 2004 and the Medal of the Republic in 2019.
He once said, “I have two dreams. One is to enjoy the shade beneath rice plants taller than men, and the other is to see hybrid rice planted all over the world.” Yuan Longping passed away in 2021, but his legacy lives on in a world with less hunger.

Florence Nightingale is widely regarded as the founder of modern nursing. Born into a wealthy British family in 1820, she had every opportunity to live a comfortable, privileged(有特权的) life. However, she felt a calling to care for the sick, which was considered an unsuitable profession for a lady of her status at the time. Despite strong opposition(反对) from her family, she chose to pursue nursing training in Germany.
In 1854, when the Crimean War broke out, Nightingale received a letter from the British government asking her to lead a team of nurses to treat wounded soldiers in Turkey. Upon arrival, she was shocked by the terrible conditions. The hospital was filthy, overcrowded, and short of basic supplies. Soldiers were dying not only from their wounds but also from infectious diseases. Nightingale immediately took action. She cleaned the wards, improved ventilation(通风), and ensured that every patient received nutritious food and clean water. She also established a system for keeping medical records, which allowed her to analyse the main causes of death and take preventive measures.
Her nightly rounds(查房), in which she walked through the dark wards carrying a lamp to check on the soldiers, earned her the nickname “The Lady with the Lamp.” The soldiers adored her and saw her as a symbol of hope.
After the war, Nightingale returned to England and continued her reform work. She used her statistical skills to demonstrate(证明)that poor sanitation was the primary cause of high death rates in hospitals. Her efforts drove widespread improvements in hospital hygiene and the professional training of nurses. In 1860, she founded the first official nursing school in London. Her influence spread across the globe, transforming nursing from a low-paid domestic service(家政服务)into a respected medical profession.
25. What can we infer about Florence Nightingale’s family’s attitude towards her career choice?
A. They fully supported her decision.
B. They were indifferent about her future.
C. They disagreed with her becoming a nurse.
D. They encouraged her to work in Germany.
26. Why did many soldiers die in the hospital during the Crimean War?
A. The hospital lacked enough doctors.
B. There were not enough lamps at night.
C. The soldiers’ wounds were too serious.
D. The hospital environment was very poor.
27. What does the underlined word “sanitation” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Medical equipment. B. Food quality.
C. Cleanliness and waste management. D. Patient records.
28. How did Nightingale change the status of nursing?
A. She made nursing a high-income job.
B. She turned it into a respected career through education.
C. She allowed only wealthy women to become nurses.
D. She reduced the number of nurses in hospitals.
(C)
Mother Teresa, born in 1910 in Skopje, was an Albanian-Indian Catholic nun who dedicated her life to serving the poorest of the poor. At the age of 18, she left her home to join a convent in Ireland and later travelled to India, where she spent most of her life. She was deeply moved by the suffering she saw on the streets of Kolkata, where people were dying from hunger and disease, abandoned by society.
In 1948, she received permission from the Vatican to start her own order, the Missionaries of Charity. Her mission, to care for those whom nobody else would care for, was simple but incredibly challenging. She set up open-air clinics and a home for the dying, where she and her fellow nuns washed the dying’s wounds, fed the starving, and comforted them with kindness and dignity(尊严). She believed that every human being, no matter how poor or sick, deserved to be loved and respected.
Her work soon attracted international attention. She never sought fame or wealth, but her selfless deeds(行为)touched millions. In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, not for political achievements, but for her compassionate(富有同情心的)service to humanity. She accepted the prize on behalf of the poor and donated all the prize money to her charity.
However, Mother Teresa also faced criticism. Some accused her of focusing only on palliative care(姑息治疗)rather than curing diseases. Others argued that her religious views overshadowed her medical work. Despite these controversies(争议), she remained undeterred. Her life is a testament to the power of compassion and the belief that even the smallest act of kindness can make a huge difference. After her death in 1997, she was canonised(被册封为圣徒的)as Saint Teresa by the Catholic Church, solidifying her place as one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.

A. She wanted to support her family. B. She preferred to remain poor.

(D)
We often think of great people as historical giants like scientists or national heroes. However, greatness does not always require a global stage. Every day, ordinary individuals perform extraordinary acts of courage and kindness that change the lives of those around them. These unsung heroes work quietly in our communities, rarely drawing public attention.
Take, for example, the efforts of community volunteers during natural disasters. When a flood or an earthquake strikes, it is not just official rescue teams that save lives. Local residents often rush to help their neighbours, carrying elderly people to safety, sharing food and water, and offering shelter to those who have lost their homes. Their quick actions, rooted in a sense of shared humanity, often make all the difference between life and death.
Another form of everyday greatness is seen in teachers who go beyond their duties. Teachers in remote mountain villages might walk for hours to reach school every day because they believe education can break the cycle of poverty for their students. They do not appear on television, but they shape the future by inspiring young minds. Similarly, medical workers in understaffed hospitals often work double shifts to ensure every patient receives care, driven not by fame but by a deep sense of duty.
What makes these people great is not their power or wealth, but their unwavering commitment to helping others. They remind us that greatness is not about being famous, but about being useful. Their stories may never be written in history books, but in the hearts of those they have helped, they are heroes. Recognising this kind of greatness encourages all of us to act with kindness in our daily lives, because anyone can make a difference.
33. What does the author think about everyday greatness?
A. It is less important than the deeds of famous figures.
B. It requires special training and qualifications.
C. It can only be found in remote mountain villages.
D. It is often performed by ordinary people without recognition.
34. Why does the author mention teachers and medical workers in Paragraph 3?
A. To compare their salaries with other jobs.
B. To give examples of people who are well-known.
C. To prove that only teachers and doctors are great.
D. To show that greatness exists in many common professions.
35. What is the main message of the passage?
A. Fame is the true measure of greatness.
B. Greatness can be found in everyday acts of kindness.
C. Only natural disasters can reveal a person’s character.
D. Volunteers are more important than professionals.

Throughout history, great people have shared certain qualities that set them apart from others. While their achievements differ greatly, the inner strengths that drive them are remarkably similar. 36 This inner force keeps them moving forward even when the road seems impossible.
Another common quality is a strong sense of purpose. Great individuals are not easily distracted by short-term pleasure or temporary difficulties. 37 This clarity(清晰)of vision allows them to make sacrifices(牺牲)that ordinary people might find unbearable.
38 They do not blindly follow traditions or accept “that’s just the way it is.” Instead, they ask “why not?” and explore new possibilities. This ability to see beyond what exists is what leads to breakthroughs and progress.
Perhaps most importantly, great people possess deep empathy for others. 39 This connection to humanity fuels their desire to serve, heal, or inspire. They are not motivated by personal glory, but by a genuine wish to make the world better for everyone.
Finally, greatness is not about perfection. Many great figures experienced repeated failures before their successes. What matters is that they never gave up. They learned from mistakes and grew stronger. 40 As long as we keep striving, we all have the potential(潜力)to achieve something great.
选项:
A. They remain focused on their long-term goals despite obstacles(障碍).
B. They understand the struggles and suffering of other people.
C. A strong will is one of the most important traits they share.
D. Creative thinking is another key characteristic of great minds.
E. Their determination inspires us to follow our own dreams.

阅读短文,掌握大意,并回答以下问题。
Alan Turing was a brilliant British mathematician whose work laid the foundations(基础)for modern computer science. Born in 1912, he showed exceptional(非凡的)talent in mathematics from an early age. During the Second World War, Turing played a crucial role in breaking the German Enigma code. He designed a machine capable of decoding encrypted(加密的) messages, an innovation that helped the Allies(盟军)win the war and saved countless lives.
After the war, Turing continued his research and developed the concept of a universal machine, now called the Turing machine. This theoretical model became the basis for all digital computers. He also proposed a test, known as the Turing Test, to determine whether a machine could think like a human. His ideas were far ahead of his time and are still widely discussed in the field of artificial intelligence.
However, Turing faced great prejudice(偏见)because of his personal life. In 1952, he was convicted of homosexuality, which was then illegal in Britain. He was forced to undergo(经历) chemical treatment to suppress(抑制)his identity. Two years later, he died tragically(悲惨地)at the age of 41. For decades, his contributions were overlooked because of discrimination(歧视). In 2009, the British government issued an official apology. In 2013, Queen Elizabeth II granted him a posthumous pardon(死后赦免).
Turing’s story shows that true greatness does not always bring recognition during one’s lifetime. His work changed the world, but he suffered injustice. Today, he is celebrated as a hero of science and a symbol of the fight against prejudice. His legacy reminds us that society must value every individual, regardless of their differences.
46. What was Alan Turing’s major contribution to the Allies in World War II?
47. What is the Turing Test?
48. What happened to Turing in 1952?
49. When did the British government officially apologize to Turing?
50. According to the author, what lesson can we learn from Turing’s life?

根据下列语篇以及所给单词的首字母写出所缺单词。(每空只写一词)
Pablo Picasso was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Born in Spain in 1881, he showed o (51) artistic talent from a very young age. His father, an art teacher, quickly recognised that his son had surpassed(超越)him. By the time he was a teenager, Picasso had already mastered classical painting techniques. However, he refused to follow traditional styles. He held a strong b (52) that art should express modern life in a new way.
Together with his friend Georges Braque, Picasso created a revolutionary art movement called Cubism(立体主义). Instead of painting objects from a single angle, they broke them into geometric(几何的)shapes and showed multiple viewpoints at once. This style shocked the art world. Many critics(评论家)considered his works strange and ugly. Yet Picasso did not care about their j (53). He continued to experiment throughout his long career.
Over his lifetime, Picasso produced thousands of paintings, sculptures, and ceramics(陶瓷). His work had an i (54) on modern art. Even today, artists around the world still learn from his techniques. Though he became famous and wealthy, he never forgot his humble(卑微的)beginnings. He once said, “Every child is an artist, but the challenge is to remain one after growing up.”
Picasso’s contribution to culture is truly s (55). He proved that creativity has no limits and that great people are those who dare to see the world differently.
第二节 语法填空(共 5 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 5 分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Many people assume that greatness comes from natural talent or good fortune. However, a closer examination of history’s most celebrated figures reveals a different truth. What truly sets them apart is not innate talent but their response to failure. They treat every setback as a lesson rather than a defeat. This mindset(心态)allows them to recover quickly and keep
(56) (move) forward with renewed energy.
Consider the case of a famous inventor who failed thousands of times before succeeding. When asked about his repeated failures, he replied that he had not failed at all. Instead, he had (57) (successful) found thousands of ways that did not work. Such an attitude requires extraordinary mental strength. Without this kind of resilience(韧性), many breakthroughs would never have been achieved. History shows that the most respected individuals are those who (58) (drive) by an inner passion rather than external rewards. Their motivation comes from a deep sense of purpose, which stays strong even when recognition is absent.
Moreover, great people are never satisfied with their current level of knowledge. They are constantly seeking new challenges and viewing problems as opportunities. They stop growing the moment they stop learning. Therefore, they tend to be much (59) (curious) than ordinary people and are always asking “what if” questions. This habit of lifelong learning is perhaps (60) (they) most valuable asset, because it guarantees(保证)continuous improvement regardless of age or circumstances.

第三节 书面表达
What Makes a Person Great?
In my opinion, the most critical quality that makes a person great is perseverance. It is the quality of persisting through difficulties and setbacks.
Take Thomas Edison as an example. He failed thousands of times before successfully inventing the light bulb. If he had given up after his first few attempts, the world would have remained in darkness far longer. His perseverance not only led to a great invention but also inspired generations.
To cultivate this quality, I will set clear goals for my studies and life. When facing challenges, I will remind myself to stay focused and learn from my mistakes instead of being discouraged. I believe that with perseverance, I can overcome any obstacle.
