He is an excellent bridge designer (设计师) in China. He has won many important prizes for his great work. He got the John A Roebling Lifetime Achievement Award in the US. He also got the International Outstanding Achievement Award in the UK. In 1988, although he wanted to work in the design group in the beginning, he was sent to work in the computer calculation (计算) group for one bridge — Shantou Bay Bridge. It was China’s first long bridge with a different structure (结构). There was no similar one to learn about, so his work was very challenging. He did calculations very carefully. His work made the bridge’s building faster and safer. Later, he was sent to the design group and helped design the bridge’s main part. The bridge opened in 1995 and changed Shantou’s traffic (交通) history. Xu Gongyi also worked on the Wufengshan Yangtze River Bridge. It was the world’s first long road-rail bridge for high-speed rail. There were no examples to follow. First, the team need to make sure the bridge was safe in strong winds. They did many tests. Then, the bridge would be built in a busy shipping area. If they spent long time on building the bridge, it would affect (影响) shipping and cost (花费) more. They used a new technology to make the time shorter. Without any examples to follow, how did Xu Gongyi and his team solve the problems, and what other unexpected difficulties would they meet? 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving examples. B．By asking a question. C．By telling stories. D．By comparing the differences. 2．Which group did Xu Gongyi want to join at first? A．The design group. B．The computer calculation group.

D．The tests they did before. Growing up in Jiangsu Province, Yu Jigao showed a strong interest in fine arts at an early age and studied on his own for years. His hard work paid off later. In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University, where he learned painting from some famous artists. It was then that Yu found his lifelong love of gongbi. Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy with strong colors. After graduating from the art school in 1957, Yu began his professional life at the Chinese Painting Institute of Jiangsu. Many books of his artwork have come out. Since 1959, Yu has created a lot of works for many important sites (场所). Yu’s works have also been on a number of national and international shows. From 1986 to 1997, he held his art shows in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York. Both the themes and artistic techniques have been widely praised in recent years. While following traditional rules, he uses a realistic (写实的) style to express the beauty of nature. He tries to add more spiritual beauty to his works through his brush. Yu says, “That feeling turns into singing birds and beautiful flowers in my paintings.” Yu watches nature carefully so that he is able to connect things in real life with art in his works. Though Yu is a famous gongbi painter of flowers and birds and a top-level artist in China now, he lives a simple, easy-going life and keeps the habit of working hard. Besides creating artistic works, Yu has made great efforts to let more people know about and learn his painting style as a cultural heritage (文化遗产) of China. “Art is part of my life,” Yu says. “I am proud to be a flower-bird painter. I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts.” 1．Where did Yu discover his love of gongbi? A．In Beijing. B．In New York. C．At Nanjing Normal University.

What would life be like if you were a rocker, a soccer player, a professor at Stanford University, and a Nobel Prize winner? Carolyn Bertozzi from the US lives such a cool life! Bertozzi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Barry Sharpless (US) and Morten Meldal (Denmark) in 2022. She won the prize for studying the sugar coats of cells (细胞). She has found a smart way to connect cells by connecting their sugar coats. The cells then have a green color so that scientists can see clearly where they are and how they move. According to the University of California, Berkeley, this finding has quite a good influence on medicine. Except for doing science studies, Bertozzi has lived a vivid life. She was a keyboarder (键盘手) in a rock band. “I even used to think about making music my major (专业),” she said. She also played soccer and won a scholarship in sports from Harvard. As a female scientist, Bertozzi tries to encourage female students. She started a monthly get-together for all the women students. In 2022, Bertozzi won an award for this. Her experience made her learn a very important lesson: You don’t need to know how to succeed quickly. All you need to do is do some work every day and solve problems step by step. The way to success may finally appear. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving an example. B．By telling a story. C．By asking a question. D．By giving numbers. 2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Why Bertozzi won the Nobel Prize. B．Bertozzi’s musical achievements. C．Bertozzi’s sports hobby. D．Bertozzi’s daily life. 3．The underlined word “vivid” means ________ in the passage. A．disabled B．hybrid C．harmful D．colourful 4．What can we learn from Bertozzi’s experience? A．We should learn music in our life. B．We should wait patiently and work hard. C．We should find the way to success quickly. D．We should win as many prizes as possible. Every year on May 4th, China has Youth Day. We celebrate this day to remember the brave and smart young people who started the May Fourth Movement in 1919. When we celebrate Youth Day in 2025, let’s see how today’s young people still show this spirit through what they do.​ Take Wang Xingxing, a young businessperson from Hangzhou for example. He won the National May Fourth Medal. Wang made cool human-like robots, G1 and H1. These robots were on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and at the Winter Olympics. They showed how much China has grown in technology. In the world of culture, Chen Lijun, a Yue Opera actress, is changing traditional art. She mixes old Yue Opera with modern stage shows and digital things. Because of this, more young people like this old art. Her performances in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing show that young artists can keep our culture alive and make it fit today’s world. Zou Yun works as a reporter at China Media Group. She thinks words are a good way to help people around the world understand each other. Zou reports on world problems. She does it well and cares about others’ feelings. Her reports help people everywhere know what China thinks about things like fighting climate change and ending poverty(贫穷). At important meetings, her fair reports help different cultures talk to each other. In space science, Gui Haichao, a teacher from Beihang University, is a great example of young people’s big dreams. He was the first Chinese payload specialist(载荷专家) to go to space on the Shenzhou-16 mission. He used his knowledge of space at the Tiangong Space Station. Now, he helps with China’s space work and also teaches young students. 1．What is the main purpose of China’s Youth Day?

A．She teaches Yue Opera in universities. B．She performs only in small towns. C．She keeps the traditional art alive in modern ways. D．She writes new stories for traditional Yue Opera. 4．What is Gui Haichao’s job? A．He is a journalist. B．He is an astronaut and a teacher. C．He is a businessperson. D．He is an opera actress. 5．In which part of the newspaper can we read the passage? A．History B．Festival C．People D．Science ① In 1640, a man was seriously ill. He had to end the last trip of his life. Back home, people asked him, “You spent your whole life on the road. Do you regret (后悔) it?” ② “I walked through many fantastic places in China,” he replied. “People say I’m as great as Zhang Qian and Xuanzang. So I have no regrets at all.” This man was Xu Xiake, the greatest traveller in Chinese history. ③ From an early age, Xu dreamed of visiting China’s seas and mountains. But at that time, it was very difficult to travel far. There were no cars or trains. The roads were rough and sometimes dangerous. Still, Xu did not give up. At age 22, he left home and began his great adventure. He walked to different places for almost 30 years and made his dream come true. ④ Xu made many geographical discoveries (发现) during his journey. Once, he visited Mount Huangshan. People then thought Tiandu Peak (山峰) was higher than Lianhua Peak. But Xu was curious (好奇的). To find out the truth, Xu climbed both peaks. He discovered that Lianhua Peak gave a wider view, so it must be higher. He was right! ⑤ Xu recorded his travel experiences in his diary. This later became Xu Xiake’s Travel Notes. Thanks to this book, we can learn about China almost 400 years ago. ⑥ His story teaches us to follow our dreams and always stay curious about the world. Let’s explore the unknown with the same courage and love as Xu Xiake did. 1．According to the passage, why did Xu Xiake have no regrets about his life? A．Because he became a famous writer and his book was very popular. B．Because his travels were as great as Zhang Qian and Xuanzang. C．Because he discovered that Lianhua Peak was higher than Tiandu Peak. D．Because he finally returned home safely after 30 years of dangerous journeys. 2．What can we infer (推断) from Xu Xiake’s story about climbing the peaks of Mount Huangshan?

A．wide and straight B．smooth and easy C．not smooth and difficult D．crowded with people 4．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Early Life of Xu Xiake B．A Great Book of Travel Notes C．Exploring the Unexplored D．Enjoying the Famous Mountains in China Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are seen as naturally brilliant. In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated (激励) by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein. Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at the Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, an assistant professor of Psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings — recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology — would help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science. According to the researchers, there is anxiety(焦虑) in the science community about a number of students who run after careers (事业) in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behavior or strategies they can follow. The researchers conducted two studies with 176 and 162 participants, respectively. In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories were the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein’s success. In addition, the participants who believed the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems. “This proved that people generally seem to see Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly connected with extraordinary talent,” Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.” 1．What kind of scientist is more inspiring? A．Those who were born with a gift. B．Those who made important discoveries. C．Those who are famous for their hard work. D．Those who are viewed as great inventors. 2．What is the worry in the science community? A．There are fewer role models for students to follow. B．The students will drop out of school soon. C．Some scientists cannot give students specific goals. D．Fewer students will continue to work on science. 3．Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems? A．They believed they could solve the problems by working hard. B．They knew the problems were given by Edison. C．They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison. D．They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Einstein’s Success Story. B．Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison. C．Edison’s Achievements Are Greater. D．How to Be a Great Scientist. Louis Braille invented a way for blind people to read. He developed a set of raised dots that blind people could feel with their fingers. This changed everything for blind people and let them enjoy books and education. Today, there are thousands of braille books and magazines around the world. You can also find braille in other places, like on packaging and street signs. Louis Braille’s story is interesting. He was born in France in 1809. Braille had an accident when he was three years old and hurt one of his eyes. At five he went completely blind because of an infection (感染) in both of his eyes. Although Braille was blind, his parents wanted him to have an education, so they sent him to school. Braille could only listen, but he was a clever boy and he learned quickly. At the age of ten, he went to a new school in Paris. It was here that he met Charles Barbier who had started working on a system of raised dots. Barbier’s dots did not represent (表示) letters; they represented different sounds. Braille worked on the system for three years. Finally, he made the system easier to use and made the dots represent letters numbers and punctuation marks (标点符号) . The system he invented became known as braille. And many people use this awesome reading system today. Now computers and phones can read everything out for blind people, but there is still a need for braille. However, it can be difficult to find teachers who can teach braille. These days many blind children go to the same school as everyone else. It is important that schools have teachers who can teach this useful system. 1．From the first two paragraphs, we know ________. A．how Braille invented his system B．why Braille invented his system C．how important Braille’s invention is D．what Braille experienced in his life 2．Which of the following is TRUE about Louis Braille? A．He was born blind. B．He was a slow learner. C．He met Barbier when he studied in Paris. D．His system was more difficult to use than Barbier’s. 3．The underlined word “awesome” has the closest meaning to “________”. A．humorous B．amazing C．terrible D．impolite 4．What does the writer most agree with according to the last paragraph? A．Braille teachers are needed. B．Listening is more important than reading. C．Blind children shouldn’t go to public schools. D．Computers will take braille’s place completely 5．The writer wrote this passage to ________. A．tell people to protect their eyes B．encourage children to learn braille C．show the present situation of blind people D．tell people about Braille and his great invention Chinese athletes made great breakthroughs at the Paris Olympics, with Zheng Qinwen becoming the first Asian tennis player to win gold in women’s singles and swimmer Pan Zhanle breaking the world record in men’s 100-meter freestyle. The question now is how these rising stars can grow into global sports heroes. The rise of Zheng and Pan in Paris repeated the victory of past Chinese sports heroes like Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, and Li Na. Yao Ming made great achievements in the NBA, Liu Xiang set a world record in men’s 110m hurdles, and Li Na won medals at the French Open and Australian Open, inspiring a large number of fans and athletes. However, to become global sports heroes, Zheng and Pan should follow such rules: Firstly, they should always do well in their sports. Continuous top-level performance (表现) is important. Secondly, keeping an active public image (形象) and high media visibility (媒体曝光率) is necessary, along with building a large fan base. They should have an attractive personality, inspire teammates and fans, and show strong role model qualities. Good communication with media and supporters, as well as abilities in cross-cultural communication, is also important to global influence. Lastly, a strong support system is necessary, including training, technology, logistics, and commercial promotion (商业宣传) teams. They should try to spread their active influence beyond (超越) sports into social, economic, cultural, and public service fields. In the present global sports environment, Chinese athletes with important international influence can serve as a bridge for the world to understand China. 1．Zheng Qinwen and Pan Zhanle are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________. A．draw readers’ attention to the Olympics B．set us good examples to learn from C．start the main topic as examples D．show Chinese athletes’ hard work 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “inspiring” in the second paragraph?

A．They can keep famous all over the world for a long time. B．They can have a more fantastic and expensive training center. C．They can achieve great success because they have great talent. D．They can make more great achievements in making foreigners understand China. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．Rules for sports players B．Ways to become global sports heroes C．Successful players to learn from D．A bridge to understand China 重难语篇练习 It was the summer of 2017. The Asian Junior and Cadet Table Tennis Championships (亚洲青少年乒乓球锦标赛) took place in Asan, South Korea. For the first time, Chinese players Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin appeared side by side in the mixed doubles event. The two fresh faces amazed the world as they advanced to the finals and lifted the championship trophy (奖杯). Both Sun and Wang describe their team-up as a “happy accident”. “Wang is a lefty (左撇子) , while I play right-handed, so I thought we’d make a great pair,” Sun later recalled. As it turns out, her “sixth sense” was right. Wang’s sharp backhand flicks (反手拧拉) perfectly match her smooth forehand loops (正手弧圈). Following their victory in Asia, the duo (双人搭档) went on to win together. They won their first world title at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games. They also took two consecutive (连续的) wins at the World Table Tennis Championships (in 2021 and 2023) and a mixed doubles gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This on-court chemistry (场上默契) takes work. In an interview, Wang shared how hard they trained. With their eyes set on gold in the mixed doubles event at the Paris Olympics, the duo trained together every day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. They kept pushing themselves in practice, and the sweat was all worth it. “No pain, no gain,” Wang said. “When it hurts, it means you’re improving.” They support and encourage each other. They have each other’s backs off the court, too. When Sun was going through a hard time in her career, Wang stayed by her side. And when Wang hit rock bottom last year, Sun offered him strength and encouragement. At the 2025 World Table Tennis Championships, Sun and Wang’s chemistry lit up the court again. The whole stadium shouted with excitement as the superstar duo found their rhythm (节奏) in the mixed doubles final. They hardly missed a beat and pulled off an impressive hat trick (三连胜) . When Sun and Wang first teamed up eight years ago, they didn’t know how deep their partnership would grow. But now, it’s clear: For them, the sky is the limit. 1．When did Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin win their first mixed doubles title (冠军)? A．In 2017. B．In 2018. C．In 2021. D．In 2024. 2．Why did Sun think that she and Wang “would make a great pair”? A．Because they were of the same age. B．Because they were both strong players. C．Because they played using different hands. D．Because they had trained together for years. 3．According to the article, the chemistry (场上默契) between Sun and Wang is built upon their _________. A．sixth sense B．hard training C．competition experience D．natural talent in table tennis 4．Read Paragraph 5, which line of poetry comes to your mind? A．岂曰无衣? 与子同袍。 B．梅花香自苦寒来。 C．海内存知己，天涯若比邻。 D．滴水穿石志自筹。 5．At the end of the article, the writer implies (暗示) that Sun and Wang will _________. A．stop playing together B．achieve even greater success C．win another world title this year D．soon reach the limit of their careers Evans Wadongo was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp (煤油灯). Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives. Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it could cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light could hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it could lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene was expensive, so families had less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up. One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar (太阳能的) light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps. Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money for many villagers who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave money to his team, so the lamps were usually free. Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference. 1．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Leaving school. B．Doing homework. C．Having eye problems. D．Having a bright idea. 2．What is the correct order of the following events according to the passage? ①Evans went to a university.                        ②Thousands of people had safe light. ③Evans’ first solar lamp was invented.               ④Kerosene lamps hurt Evans’ eyes. ⑤Recycled materials were used in the lamps.         ⑥People from many countries gave money. A．④①③⑤⑥② B．④⑥②①⑤③ C．①④⑥⑤③② D．①⑤③④⑥② 3．Why does the writer give Julia’s example in the last paragraph? A．To share Julia’s experience. B．To show Evans’ influence. C．To describe Evans’ feelings. D．To introduce Evans’ invention. 4．What is Evans like according to the passage? A．Polite, talented and humorous. B．Quiet, smart and honest. C．Humorous, clever and friendly.

Carolyn Bertozzi from the US lives such a cool life! Bertozzi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Barry Sharpless (US) and Morten Meldal (Denmark) in 2022. She won the prize for studying the sugar coats of cells (细胞). She has found a smart way to connect cells by connecting their sugar coats. The cells then have a green color so that scientists can see clearly where they are and how they move. According to the University of California, Berkeley, this finding has quite a good influence on medicine. Except for doing science studies, Bertozzi has lived a vivid life. She was a keyboarder (键盘手) in a rock band. “I even used to think about making music my major (专业),” she said. She also played soccer and won a scholarship in sports from Harvard. As a female scientist, Bertozzi tries to encourage female students. She started a monthly get-together for all the women students. In 2022, Bertozzi won an award for this. Her experience made her learn a very important lesson: You don’t need to know how to succeed quickly. All you need to do is do some work every day and solve problems step by step. The way to success may finally appear. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving an example. B．By telling a story. C．By asking a question. D．By giving numbers. 2．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Why Bertozzi won the Nobel Prize. B．Bertozzi’s musical achievements. C．Bertozzi’s sports hobby.

We celebrate this day to remember the brave and smart young people who started the May Fourth Movement in 1919. When we celebrate Youth Day in 2025, let’s see how today’s young people still show this spirit through what they do.​ Take Wang Xingxing, a young businessperson from Hangzhou for example. He won the National May Fourth Medal. Wang made cool human-like robots, G1 and H1. These robots were on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and at the Winter Olympics. They showed how much China has grown in technology. In the world of culture, Chen Lijun, a Yue Opera actress, is changing traditional art. She mixes old Yue Opera with modern stage shows and digital things. Because of this, more young people like this old art. Her performances in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing show that young artists can keep our culture alive and make it fit today’s world. Zou Yun works as a reporter at China Media Group. She thinks words are a good way to help people around the world understand each other. Zou reports on world problems. She does it well and cares about others’ feelings. Her reports help people everywhere know what China thinks about things like fighting climate change and ending poverty(贫穷). At important meetings, her fair reports help different cultures talk to each other. In space science, Gui Haichao, a teacher from Beihang University, is a great example of young people’s big dreams. He was the first Chinese payload specialist(载荷专家) to go to space on the Shenzhou-16 mission. He used his knowledge of space at the Tiangong Space Station. Now, he helps with China’s space work and also teaches young students. 1．What is the main purpose of China’s Youth Day?

Because of this, more young people like this old art.”可知，她用现代方式让传统艺术焕发活力。 4．根据桂海潮部分“Gui Haichao, a teacher from Beihang University… He was the first Chinese payload specialist to go to space”可知，他既是大学老师，也是航天专家。 5．文章围绕四位优秀人物的事迹展开，最可能出现在报纸的“人物”板块。 ① In 1640, a man was seriously ill. He had to end the last trip of his life. Back home, people asked him, “You spent your whole life on the road. Do you regret (后悔) it?” ② “I walked through many fantastic places in China,” he replied. “People say I’m as great as Zhang Qian and Xuanzang. So I have no regrets at all.” This man was Xu Xiake, the greatest traveller in Chinese history. ③ From an early age, Xu dreamed of visiting China’s seas and mountains. But at that time, it was very difficult to travel far. There were no cars or trains. The roads were rough and sometimes dangerous. Still, Xu did not give up. At age 22, he left home and began his great adventure. He walked to different places for almost 30 years and made his dream come true. ④ Xu made many geographical discoveries (发现) during his journey. Once, he visited Mount Huangshan. People then thought Tiandu Peak (山峰) was higher than Lianhua Peak. But Xu was curious (好奇的). To find out the truth, Xu climbed both peaks. He discovered that Lianhua Peak gave a wider view, so it must be higher. He was right! ⑤ Xu recorded his travel experiences in his diary. This later became Xu Xiake’s Travel Notes. Thanks to this book, we can learn about China almost 400 years ago. ⑥ His story teaches us to follow our dreams and always stay curious about the world. Let’s explore the unknown with the same courage and love as Xu Xiake did. 1．According to the passage, why did Xu Xiake have no regrets about his life? A．Because he became a famous writer and his book was very popular. B．Because his travels were as great as Zhang Qian and Xuanzang. C．Because he discovered that Lianhua Peak was higher than Tiandu Peak. D．Because he finally returned home safely after 30 years of dangerous journeys. 2．What can we infer (推断) from Xu Xiake’s story about climbing the peaks of Mount Huangshan? A．He cared more about the beauty of the scenery than geographical facts. B．He was a person who trusted his own eyes to find the truth. C．He wanted to prove that common people’s opinions were always wrong. D．He found that Tiandu Peak was actually more difficult to climb. 3．The underlined word “rough” in Paragraph③ most likely means ________. A．wide and straight B．smooth and easy C．not smooth and difficult D．crowded with people 4．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Early Life of Xu Xiake B．A Great Book of Travel Notes C．Exploring the Unexplored D．Enjoying the Famous Mountains in China 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇人物记叙文，讲述了古代著名旅行家徐霞客一生游历山河，不惧艰险实地探索地理真相，写下《徐霞客游记》，告诉我们要坚持梦想、保持好奇，勇于探索未知。 1．原文第②段“I walked through many fantastic places in China...People say I’m as great as Zhang Qian and Xuanzang. So I have no regrets at all.”，徐霞客认为自己的游历堪比张骞、玄奘，因此一生毫无遗憾。 2．原文第④段人们普遍认为天都峰更高，但徐霞客出于好奇亲自登上两座山峰实地验证，靠自己的双眼找到了真相，能推断出他相信亲眼所见去探寻事实。 3．划线词“rough”所在句“There were no cars or trains. The roads were rough and sometimes dangerous.”，没有车船、道路还很危险，说明道路不平坦、难行走，对应not smooth and difficult。 4．全文围绕徐霞客不惧困难、亲身探索未知山水、探寻地理真相展开，“Exploring the Unexplored（探索未知）”贴合文章核心主旨；A只讲早年生活、B只讲书籍、D只讲游览名山，都片面。 Role models are important for inspiring scientists, but new research suggests that scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are seen as naturally brilliant. In a series of studies, researchers found that young people were more motivated (激励) by scientists whose success was connected with efforts than those whose success was because of natural intelligence, even if that scientist was Albert Einstein. Danfei Hu, a doctoral student at the Pennsylvania State University, and Janet N. Ann, an assistant professor of Psychology at William Paterson University, said the findings — recently published in Basic and Applied Social Psychology — would help deal with the certain secret about what it takes to succeed in science. According to the researchers, there is anxiety(焦虑) in the science community about a number of students who run after careers (事业) in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college. To help solve the problem, Hu and Ann wanted to research role models, who give the students specific goals, behavior or strategies they can follow. The researchers conducted two studies with 176 and 162 participants, respectively. In the first study, all participants read the same story about common struggles a scientist met in his science career. However, half were told the story was about Einstein, while half were told it was about Thomas Edison. Although the stories were the same, participants were more likely to believe natural brilliance was the reason for Einstein’s success. In addition, the participants who believed the story was about Edison were more motivated to complete a series of maths problems. “This proved that people generally seem to see Einstein as a genius, with his success commonly connected with extraordinary talent,” Hu said. “Edison, on the other hand, is known for failing more than 1,000 times when trying to create the light bulb, and his success is linked to his efforts.” Hu added, “Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts, more students will step into the science career confidently.” 1．What kind of scientist is more inspiring? A．Those who were born with a gift. B．Those who made important discoveries. C．Those who are famous for their hard work. D．Those who are viewed as great inventors. 2．What is the worry in the science community? A．There are fewer role models for students to follow. B．The students will drop out of school soon. C．Some scientists cannot give students specific goals. D．Fewer students will continue to work on science. 3．Why were some participants motivated to complete a series of maths problems? A．They believed they could solve the problems by working hard. B．They knew the problems were given by Edison. C．They knew they were to work together with Einstein and Edison. D．They believed they were as intelligent as Einstein. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．Einstein’s Success Story. B．Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison. C．Edison’s Achievements Are Greater. D．How to Be a Great Scientist. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文通过研究表明，以努力著称的科学家，比被认为天赋过人的科学家更能激励年轻人投身科学领域。 1． 根据文章第一段第二句“…scientists who are known for their hard work are more encouraging than scientists who are seen as naturally brilliant.”可知，以努力工作著称的科学家比被视为天生聪明的科学家更鼓舞人心。选项C“Those who are famous for their hard work”与此意相符。 2．根据文章第四段第一句“…there is anxiety... about a number of students who run after careers in science during school only to drop out of those career paths once they graduate from college.”可知，科学界担心的是许多学生在大学毕业后就放弃了科学职业道路，即继续从事科学工作的学生变少了。 3．根据文章倒数第二段提到相信故事是关于爱迪生的参与者更有动力，以及最后一段Hu说的话“Knowing that something great can be achieved through hard work and efforts...”可知，参与者受到激励是因为他们相信通过努力可以取得成就 (解决难题)。 4．文章主要通过对比爱因斯坦 (被视为天才) 和爱迪生(被视为努力型) 的例子，说明了以辛勤工作著称的科学家比被视为天生才华横溢的科学家更令人鼓舞。选项B“Einstein Is Less Encouraging than Edison”最能概括这一核心发现，符合语境。选项A、C侧重个人成就或故事，选项D过于宽泛，均未准确体现文章关于“激励作用对比”的主旨。 Louis Braille invented a way for blind people to read. He developed a set of raised dots that blind people could feel with their fingers. This changed everything for blind people and let them enjoy books and education. Today, there are thousands of braille books and magazines around the world. You can also find braille in other places, like on packaging and street signs. Louis Braille’s story is interesting. He was born in France in 1809. Braille had an accident when he was three years old and hurt one of his eyes. At five he went completely blind because of an infection (感染) in both of his eyes. Although Braille was blind, his parents wanted him to have an education, so they sent him to school. Braille could only listen, but he was a clever boy and he learned quickly. At the age of ten, he went to a new school in Paris. It was here that he met Charles Barbier who had started working on a system of raised dots. Barbier’s dots did not represent (表示) letters; they represented different sounds. Braille worked on the system for three years. Finally, he made the system easier to use and made the dots represent letters numbers and punctuation marks (标点符号) . The system he invented became known as braille. And many people use this awesome reading system today. Now computers and phones can read everything out for blind people, but there is still a need for braille. However, it can be difficult to find teachers who can teach braille. These days many blind children go to the same school as everyone else. It is important that schools have teachers who can teach this useful system. 1．From the first two paragraphs, we know ________. A．how Braille invented his system B．why Braille invented his system C．how important Braille’s invention is D．what Braille experienced in his life 2．Which of the following is TRUE about Louis Braille? A．He was born blind. B．He was a slow learner. C．He met Barbier when he studied in Paris. D．His system was more difficult to use than Barbier’s. 3．The underlined word “awesome” has the closest meaning to “________”. A．humorous B．amazing C．terrible D．impolite 4．What does the writer most agree with according to the last paragraph? A．Braille teachers are needed. B．Listening is more important than reading. C．Blind children shouldn’t go to public schools. D．Computers will take braille’s place completely 5．The writer wrote this passage to ________. A．tell people to protect their eyes B．encourage children to learn braille C．show the present situation of blind people D．tell people about Braille and his great invention 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了路易斯·布莱尔发明盲文的经历、盲文的重要作用以及如今仍需要盲文教师的现状。 1．根据前两段中“This changed everything for blind people and let them enjoy books and education.”以及“there are thousands of braille books and magazines around the world”可知，盲文对盲人非常重要。 2．根据第三段“At the age of ten, he went to a new school in Paris. It was here that he met Charles Barbier...”可知，布莱尔是在巴黎上学时遇见Barbier的。 3．根据画线词所在句“And many people use this awesome reading system today.”可知，盲文系统至今仍被许多人使用，说明它是很棒的。awesome意为“极好的”，与amazing意思最接近。 4．根据最后一段中“there is still a need for braille”和“It is important that schools have teachers who can teach this useful system.”可知，作者认为仍然需要会教盲文的老师。 5．第一段介绍布莱尔发明盲文及其重要意义；第二段介绍盲文书籍和杂志在世界各地的使用；第三、四段介绍布莱尔的个人经历和他改进点字系统的过程；最后一段说明现在仍然需要盲文和盲文教师。由此可知，作者写这篇文章是为了介绍布莱尔和他的伟大发明。 Chinese athletes made great breakthroughs at the Paris Olympics, with Zheng Qinwen becoming the first Asian tennis player to win gold in women’s singles and swimmer Pan Zhanle breaking the world record in men’s 100-meter freestyle. The question now is how these rising stars can grow into global sports heroes. The rise of Zheng and Pan in Paris repeated the victory of past Chinese sports heroes like Yao Ming, Liu Xiang, and Li Na. Yao Ming made great achievements in the NBA, Liu Xiang set a world record in men’s 110m hurdles, and Li Na won medals at the French Open and Australian Open, inspiring a large number of fans and athletes. However, to become global sports heroes, Zheng and Pan should follow such rules: Firstly, they should always do well in their sports. Continuous top-level performance (表现) is important. Secondly, keeping an active public image (形象) and high media visibility (媒体曝光率) is necessary, along with building a large fan base. They should have an attractive personality, inspire teammates and fans, and show strong role model qualities. Good communication with media and supporters, as well as abilities in cross-cultural communication, is also important to global influence. Lastly, a strong support system is necessary, including training, technology, logistics, and commercial promotion (商业宣传) teams. They should try to spread their active influence beyond (超越) sports into social, economic, cultural, and public service fields. In the present global sports environment, Chinese athletes with important international influence can serve as a bridge for the world to understand China. 1．Zheng Qinwen and Pan Zhanle are mentioned in the first paragraph to ________. A．draw readers’ attention to the Olympics B．set us good examples to learn from C．start the main topic as examples D．show Chinese athletes’ hard work 2．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “inspiring” in the second paragraph? A．producing B．trading C．encouraging D．translating 3．From the fourth paragraph, we can know that Zheng and Pan need to ________. ①appear often on TV or the Internet  ②speak some foreign language well ③keep a good image  ④advertise some products  ⑤donate much money to the Hope Project A．①②③ B．①④⑤ C．②③④ D．③④⑤ 4．What’s the writer’s opinion of those super sports stars like Zheng and Pan? A．They can keep famous all over the world for a long time. B．They can have a more fantastic and expensive training center. C．They can achieve great success because they have great talent. D．They can make more great achievements in making foreigners understand China. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．Rules for sports players B．Ways to become global sports heroes C．Successful players to learn from D．A bridge to understand China 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，讲述中国新星需持续佳绩、良好形象与全方位支持，方能成为全球体育英雄。 1．第一段介绍郑钦文和潘展乐的成绩后，引出了核心话题“这些新星如何成长为全球体育英雄”，因此两人是引出主题的例子。 2．第二段“Yao Ming made great achievements in the NBA, Liu Xiang set a world record in men’s 110m hurdles, and Li Na won medals at the French Open and Australian Open, inspiring a large number of fans and athletes.”提及三名运动员在各自领域闪耀全球的成绩，这些成绩能激励她们的粉丝和其他的运动员，“inspiring”是“激励、鼓舞”，和encouraging“鼓励”含义一致。 3．第四段“Secondly, keeping an active public image and high media visibility is necessary...Good communication with media and supporters, as well as abilities in cross-cultural communication, is also important to global influence.”提及对运动员来说积极的公众形象和高媒体曝光率，以及跨文化交流的能力都是很重要的，所以郑钦文和潘展乐需要经常出现在电视/网络上（高媒体曝光率），精通外语（跨文化交流）以及保持良好形象。 4．最后一句“Chinese athletes with important international influence can serve as a bridge for the world to understand China.”提及有国际影响力的中国运动员可以成为世界了解中国的桥梁，由此可知作者认为这类运动员能帮助外国人了解中国。 5．全文围绕“新兴运动员如何成长为全球体育英雄”展开，介绍了成为全球体育英雄的方法，B选项“成为全球体育英雄的途径”符合核心主旨，是最佳标题。 重难语篇练习 It was the summer of 2017. The Asian Junior and Cadet Table Tennis Championships (亚洲青少年乒乓球锦标赛) took place in Asan, South Korea. For the first time, Chinese players Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin appeared side by side in the mixed doubles event. The two fresh faces amazed the world as they advanced to the finals and lifted the championship trophy (奖杯). Both Sun and Wang describe their team-up as a “happy accident”. “Wang is a lefty (左撇子) , while I play right-handed, so I thought we’d make a great pair,” Sun later recalled. As it turns out, her “sixth sense” was right. Wang’s sharp backhand flicks (反手拧拉) perfectly match her smooth forehand loops (正手弧圈). Following their victory in Asia, the duo (双人搭档) went on to win together. They won their first world title at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games. They also took two consecutive (连续的) wins at the World Table Tennis Championships (in 2021 and 2023) and a mixed doubles gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This on-court chemistry (场上默契) takes work. In an interview, Wang shared how hard they trained. With their eyes set on gold in the mixed doubles event at the Paris Olympics, the duo trained together every day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. They kept pushing themselves in practice, and the sweat was all worth it. “No pain, no gain,” Wang said. “When it hurts, it means you’re improving.” They support and encourage each other. They have each other’s backs off the court, too. When Sun was going through a hard time in her career, Wang stayed by her side. And when Wang hit rock bottom last year, Sun offered him strength and encouragement. At the 2025 World Table Tennis Championships, Sun and Wang’s chemistry lit up the court again. The whole stadium shouted with excitement as the superstar duo found their rhythm (节奏) in the mixed doubles final. They hardly missed a beat and pulled off an impressive hat trick (三连胜) . When Sun and Wang first teamed up eight years ago, they didn’t know how deep their partnership would grow. But now, it’s clear: For them, the sky is the limit. 1．When did Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin win their first mixed doubles title (冠军)? A．In 2017. B．In 2018. C．In 2021. D．In 2024. 2．Why did Sun think that she and Wang “would make a great pair”? A．Because they were of the same age. B．Because they were both strong players. C．Because they played using different hands. D．Because they had trained together for years. 3．According to the article, the chemistry (场上默契) between Sun and Wang is built upon their _________. A．sixth sense B．hard training C．competition experience D．natural talent in table tennis 4．Read Paragraph 5, which line of poetry comes to your mind? A．岂曰无衣? 与子同袍。 B．梅花香自苦寒来。 C．海内存知己，天涯若比邻。 D．滴水穿石志自筹。 5．At the end of the article, the writer implies (暗示) that Sun and Wang will _________. A．stop playing together B．achieve even greater success C．win another world title this year D．soon reach the limit of their careers 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了乒乓球混双组合孙颖莎和王楚钦从2017年首次搭档夺冠，到后来多次取得佳绩的历程，展现了他们的默契和努力。 1．第一段指出：2017年亚洲青少年乒乓球锦标赛上，孙颖莎和王楚钦首次搭档并夺冠。 2．第二段孙颖莎说：“Wang is a lefty, while I play right-handed, so I thought we’d make a great pair”，说明他们使用不同的手打球。 3．第四段指出他们每天从早到晚训练，王楚钦说“No pain, no gain”，说明他们的默契建立在刻苦训练的基础上。 4．第五段描述他们在对方困难时相互支持：“When Sun was going through a hard time in her career, Wang stayed by her side. And when Wang hit rock bottom last year, Sun offered him strength and encouragement.”，体现了“岂曰无衣？与子同袍”的同甘共苦精神。 5．最后一段“For them, the sky is the limit”暗示他们将取得更大的成功。 Evans Wadongo was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp (煤油灯). Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives. Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it could cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light could hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it could lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene was expensive, so families had less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up. One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar (太阳能的) light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps. Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money for many villagers who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave money to his team, so the lamps were usually free. Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference. 1．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Leaving school. B．Doing homework. C．Having eye problems. D．Having a bright idea. 2．What is the correct order of the following events according to the passage? ①Evans went to a university.                        ②Thousands of people had safe light. ③Evans’ first solar lamp was invented.               ④Kerosene lamps hurt Evans’ eyes. ⑤Recycled materials were used in the lamps.         ⑥People from many countries gave money. A．④①③⑤⑥② B．④⑥②①⑤③ C．①④⑥⑤③② D．①⑤③④⑥② 3．Why does the writer give Julia’s example in the last paragraph? A．To share Julia’s experience. B．To show Evans’ influence. C．To describe Evans’ feelings. D．To introduce Evans’ invention. 4．What is Evans like according to the passage? A．Polite, talented and humorous. B．Quiet, smart and honest. C．Humorous, clever and friendly. D．Hard-working, loving and creative. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了非洲的Evans Wadongo因煤油灯的弊端，发明太阳能灯，从而为当地村民带来安全照明，产生重大影响的故事。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult.”可知，this指代的是眼睛出现问题这件事。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段“Evans’ eyes hurt”；第二段“Evans was an excellent student and went to a university”；第三段“Evans built his first solar lamp”；第四段“First, Evans used recycled materials.”以及“people from many countries gave money to his team”；第五段“Thousands of people had safe light.”可知，正确顺序是④①③⑤⑥②。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook”可知，最后一段通过Julia的例子，是为了展示Evans的发明带来的影响。故选B。 4．推理判断题。从Evans坚持解决煤油灯的问题，发明太阳能灯（有创造力）；努力降低成本，帮助村民（有爱心）；一直为此付出努力（勤奋），可知他是勤奋、有爱心且有创造力的。故选D。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
