Her death was 3 (report) by the Jane Goodall Institute. The news showed that she lived her 4 (amaze) life in a quiet and careful way. These good qualities helped her in her work. She spent many years in the African jungles. It was in 1960 that Goodall first arrived in Gombe.
Most of her work was about a group of 30 to 40 chimpanzees (黑猩猩). Chimpanzees are the 5 (close) to humans in genes (基因). Dr. Goodall was the first to let the world know that chimpanzee mothers have babies only once every four to six years. Since the 1970s, she has spent more time 6 (try) to protect chimpanzees and their homes than watching them. She made 7 clear that she didn’t like capturing wild chimpanzees for zoos or 8 (medicine) research.

5.句意:黑猩猩在基因上与人类最接近。根据“Chimpanzees are the...to humans in genes (基因).”以及“the”可知,这里是说黑猩猩在基因上与人类“最接近”,所以要用形容词close的最高级形式 closest。故填closest。
6.句意:自20世纪70年代以来,她花在努力保护黑猩猩及其家园上的时间比观察它们的时间还多。spend time (in) doing sth是固定用法,意为“花费时间做某事”,try的动名词形式是trying。故填trying。
7.句意:她明确表示,她不喜欢为了动物园或医学研究而捕捉野生黑猩猩。make it clear that...是固定句型,it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的从句。故填it。

1.句意:1957 年,杨和他的朋友李政道被授予诺贝尔物理学奖。
根据“the Nobel Prize”及固定搭配be awarded+奖项,可知此处指被授予奖项。获得荣誉应选用awarded“授予”。

根据“discovery”及科学发现的影响,可知重大发现通常会改变认知。应选用changed“改变”。
3.句意:杨振宁的人生就印证了这一事实。
前一句说物理之美在于秩序,但现实生活充满复杂性。根据语境,此处指前文提到的物理与生活的对比“事实”,truth“真相、事实”符合语境。
4.句意:杨振宁远离家乡,生活在两种文化之间。
根据“Eastern scientist in the West”及“Western representative of the East”,说明他生活在两种文化之间。cultures“文化”符合语境。

6.句意:2003年,杨振宁做出了一个重要决定:回到北京,在清华大学任教。
回国任教是人生重大抉择,固定搭配make a decision表示“做决定”,应选用decision“决定”。

根据“a top-level research center”,可知是建立机构,set up“建立”符合语境。
9.句意:他的家名为“归根居”,这个名字饱含深意地体现了他的人生圆满落幕。
根据“Gui Gen Ju”及“come full circle”,可知名字寓意深刻,体现落叶归根之意,meaningfully“有意义地”符合语境。
10.句意:他的故事鼓舞人心,激励着世界各地的年轻人。
根据“encourages young people”,可知故事具有激励作用。“encourages”对应inspiring“鼓舞人心的”。
二、阅读理解。
(25-26九年级上·山东聊城·期中)Yuan Longping (1930—2021) is known as a great scientist who was the first person to develop hybrid rice (杂交水稻). His research greatly solved the problem of the food shortage (短缺) in the world.
Yuan Longping started the research in 1964. He put forward the idea of hybrid rice, did experiments on the farm, and succeeded in 1973. The new technology was tested in many areas of South China in 1974, and then he continued to test it in other areas. China has become the first country that can produce hybrid rice and Yuan is called “Father of Hybrid Rice”.
Besides being a respected scientist, he was also a romantic husband and a caring grandfather.
Yuan’s granddaughters remembered that when he traveled to Hong Kong, he wanted to buy his wife a new watch, but it was too expensive, so he bought a candy instead. When he was 90 years old, his family held a birthday party. Hundreds of people came to the party. There was a moving moment: Yuan cut the first piece of cake and immediately gave it to his wife. They also said that their grandfather paid much attention to their English and maths studies. No matter how tired he was after work, he would still ask about their studies.
Yuan Longping loved playing the violin, swimming and driving. What’s more, he had a special habit—playing mahjong (麻将) with friends for an hour every evening to train his brain. Just like common people, the scientist laughed when he won and didn’t hide his disappointment (失望) when he lost.
This is Yuan Longping: an ordinary person who made great achievements (成就).

【导语】本文主要介绍了袁隆平:他研发杂交水稻,解决世界粮食短缺难题,被誉为“杂交水稻之父”;同时他也是温柔的丈夫、关心孙女学业的祖父,是一位平凡却拥有巨大成就的科学家。
1.根据第一段第二句“His research greatly solved the problem of the food shortage (短缺) in the world.”可知,袁隆平的研究极大地解决了世界粮食短缺的问题,因此他研发杂交水稻的目的是解决粮食短缺问题。
2.根据第四段第一句“he wanted to buy his wife a new watch, but it was too expensive, so he bought a candy instead”可知,袁隆平想给妻子买手表, 但是太贵了,最后买了一块糖果。

5.文章前两段介绍了袁隆平在科学上的伟大成就,中间段落描述了他作为丈夫、祖父及普通人的生活点滴,最后一段总结为“an ordinary person who made great achievements”。选项A“一位伟大而平凡的科学家——袁隆平”最能全面概括全文主旨。
(2026·甘肃天水·中考真题)
Deep in the desert, a man has spent more than forty years solving the “illness” of ancient paintings.
His name is Fan Zaixuan. He is an expert at protecting and repairing wall paintings in the Dunhuang Academy (敦煌研究院). In fact, the “patients” are the ancient wall paintings. The wall paintings in Dunhuang Mogao Caves are beautiful. However, after thousands of years, their surfaces slowly come off and fall down, which makes people feel sad.
Fan Zaixuan works hard to repair these art works. For the peeling parts, he first adds special glue and smooths them slowly and carefully. It is more difficult to repair the broken areas. Workers must take away harmful salt that breaks the paintings. To solve this problem, Fan Zaixuan and his team have been working for eight years and finally found a practical way. They turned the harmful salt into water and developed new materials to take in the liquid (液体). So far, the research team led by Fan Zaixuan has repaired more than 500m² of broken wall paintings in Mogao Caves. These ancient treasures shine again and keep their beauty after thousands of years.
Fan Zaixuan says his daily work is to protect ancient wall paintings and keep their natural looks. To his relief, over the past forty years, he has trained hundreds of young workers for cultural protection organizations across the country. Now, a new team of repairers has joined in the repair work of these valuable paintings.
Fan Zaixuan has spent all his time and energy on his work. He protects the ancient art silently and has become a part of these wonderful paintings through time.

4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Fan’s team repaired less than 500m² of the wall paintings.
B.Fan repairs the wall paintings only by taking harmful salt away.
C.Young workers refuse to take part in wall painting repair work.
D.Harmful salt is one of the reasons for the broken wall paintings.

【导语】本文讲述文物修复专家樊再轩扎根沙漠四十余年,专门修复敦煌壁画,攻克盐分破坏壁画难题,修复数百平米壁画,还培养大批青年修复人才,默默守护古代艺术瑰宝。
1.原文第三段“Fan Zaixuan and his team have been working for eight years and finally found a practical way.”,团队花费8年找到修复破损壁画区域的方法。
2.原文第二段“after thousands of years, their surfaces slowly come off and fall down”,壁画面临的问题是表层脱落。
3.原文第四段“To his relief, over the past forty years, he has trained hundreds of young workers…”,他培养出数百名青年修复人员,这件事让他欣慰、开心。relief此处含义接近joy“喜悦、宽慰”。

Yuan’s granddaughters remembered that when he traveled to Hong Kong, he wanted to buy his wife a new watch, but it was too expensive, so he bought a candy instead. When he was 90 years old, his family held a birthday party. Hundreds of people came to the party. There was a moving moment: Yuan cut the first piece of cake and immediately gave it to his wife. They also said that their grandfather paid much attention to their English and maths studies. No matter how tired he was after work, he would still ask about their studies.
Yuan Longping loved playing the violin, swimming and driving. What’s more, he had a special habit—playing mahjong (麻将) with friends for an hour every evening to train his brain. Just like common people, the scientist laughed when he won and didn’t hide his disappointment (失望) when he lost.

(2026·甘肃天水·中考真题)
Deep in the desert, a man has spent more than forty years solving the “illness” of ancient paintings.
His name is Fan Zaixuan. He is an expert at protecting and repairing wall paintings in the Dunhuang Academy (敦煌研究院). In fact, the “patients” are the ancient wall paintings. The wall paintings in Dunhuang Mogao Caves are beautiful. However, after thousands of years, their surfaces slowly come off and fall down, which makes people feel sad.
Fan Zaixuan works hard to repair these art works. For the peeling parts, he first adds special glue and smooths them slowly and carefully. It is more difficult to repair the broken areas. Workers must take away harmful salt that breaks the paintings. To solve this problem, Fan Zaixuan and his team have been working for eight years and finally found a practical way. They turned the harmful salt into water and developed new materials to take in the liquid (液体). So far, the research team led by Fan Zaixuan has repaired more than 500m² of broken wall paintings in Mogao Caves. These ancient treasures shine again and keep their beauty after thousands of years.
Fan Zaixuan says his daily work is to protect ancient wall paintings and keep their natural looks. To his relief, over the past forty years, he has trained hundreds of young workers for cultural protection organizations across the country. Now, a new team of repairers has joined in the repair work of these valuable paintings.
Fan Zaixuan has spent all his time and energy on his work. He protects the ancient art silently and has become a part of these wonderful paintings through time.
