[2026江苏连云港期中] 家国情怀
Chinese Nobel Prize-winning physicist Chen-Ning Yang, one of the most outstanding and influential
scientists in modern physics, passed away in Beijing on October 18 due to illness at the age of 103.
Born in 1922, Yang was brought up surrounded by the Tsinghua campus, where his father was a
math professor. After finishing his undergraduate degree, he obtained his master's degree from Tsinghua. He
enrolled in the University of Chicago in the United States to pursue a doctorate in 1946 and was
strongly influenced by Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi, who had won the same Nobel Prize in 1938.
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
He later became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.
Yang won the Nobel Prize in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee for their investigation of the so-called parity
laws that led to “important discoveries regarding the elementary particles,” according to the Nobel
Prize website. They were the first Chinese-born Nobel Prize winners in physics.
Professor Yang was deeply devoted to his homeland, making remarkable contributions to China's scien-
tific and educational development. His visit to China in 1971 led to a wave of visits by overseas scholars,
earning him recognition as the pioneer in building the bridge of academic exchange between China and
the United States. He later proposed the restoration and strengthening of basic scientific research to China's
central leadership. He also raised funds to establish the “Committee on Educational Exchange with Chi-
na”, which has continuously sponsored nearly 100 Chinese scholars for advanced studies in the United
States. These scholars later became the backbone of China's scientific and technological development. He
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
undertook extensive work for China's scientific and technological exchange and progress, offering advice
and exercising significant influence on major Chinese scientific projects and the formulation(制定) of sci-
ence and education policies.
After returning to Tsinghua University, he took on developing the Institute for Advanced Study as his
new mission. He poured enormous effort into advancing fundamental disciplines like physics and cultivat-
ing talents at Tsinghua, making remarkable contributions that greatly impacted the reform and development
of Chinese higher education.
Professor Yang's life stands as a timeless chapter in human history—one that shines not only for China
but for the global community of thinkers and innovators.

[2025广东汕头潮南区期中]
Few people doubt the value of developing students' thinking skills. A focus on critical thinking is
common in education. In the Australian Curriculum, critical thinking and creative thinking are known
as “general capabilities”. The US has a similar focus through their “common core”.
Many approaches to developing critical thinking are based on Philosophy for Children. One strate-
gy that has a large impact on students' ability to analyse and evaluate arguments is argument map-
ping, in which a student's reasoning can be visually displayed by _________ the inferential pathway from the

outcomes in terms of the quality of thinking in any classroom. Research also shows deliberate attention to
the practice of reasoning in the context of our everyday lives can be significantly improved through tar-
geted teaching.
Teachers at one high school in Australia, who have much training in critical thinking teaching methods,
developed a task that asked students to determine Australia's greatest sports person. Students needed to con-
struct their own criteria for greatness. To do so, they had to analyse the Australian sporting context, create
possible evaluative standards, explain and justify why some standards would be more acceptable than
others and apply these to their candidates. They then needed to argue their case with their classmates to de-
velop the criteria that were solid, defensible, widely applicable and produce a choice that seized signifi-
cant and relevant aspects of Australian sport.
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
Researchers looking at the gains made in a single term of teaching critical thinking with argument
mapping said the critical thinking gains are very close to those that could be expected to result from three
years of undergraduate education. Students who are taught to think well also do better on subject-based ex-
ams and standardized tests than those who do not.
In terms of developing 21st-century skills, including training students for lifelong learning, teaching
critical thinking should be core business.
5.Which of the following can explain the underlined word “capturing” in Paragraph 2?
A.Describing. B.Attracting. C.Designing. D.Blocking.
6.What's the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A.To construct the criteria for being great. B.To acknowledge the teachers' outcomes.
C.To present how to teach critical thinking. D.To emphasize the importance of reasoning.

7.What is the author's attitude toward teaching critical thinking?
A.Objective. B.Supportive. C.Doubtful. D.Cautious.

A.Teaching methods should vary among schools.
B.Research on education deserves more attention.
C.Critical thinking should be valued in education.
D.Concepts of critical thinking aren't well received.

长难句
原句 Researchers looking at the gains made in a single term of teaching critical thinking with argument
mapping said the critical thinking gains are very close to those that could be expected to result from three
years of undergraduate education.
分析 该句是一个主从复合句。“looking at the gains...argument mapping”为动词-ing形式作后置定
语,修饰Researchers;said后是一个省略了that的宾语从句,其中that引导定语从句,修饰先行词those,而
those指代上文提及的gains。
译文 研究人员研究了用论证图来教授批判性思维在单个学期内所取得的进展,他们说,批判性思维的
进展与三年本科教育所产生的预期进展非常接近。
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
5.A 词义猜测题。本段叙述了发展批判性思维的途径。画线词所在句讲的是“对学生分析和评
估论点的能力有很大影响的一个策略是把论证过程图式化,通过______从假设到结论的推理路径,学生
的推理可以直观地显示出来”。根据本句中的“mapping”可以看出,学生的推理能力是通过从假设
到结论的描述直观地显示出来的。因而句中的“capturing”应该是“描述”的意思。故选A。
6.C 推理判断题。由本段前两句可知,澳大利亚的一所高中的教师在批判性思维教学方法方面
受过很多训练,他们开发了一项任务,要求学生们选出澳大利亚最伟大的运动员,学生们需要建立自己
的标准来衡量伟大。再结合“To do so, they had to...”可以看出,本段主要讲的是如何教授批判性思
维。故选C。
7.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段叙述的内容“就发展21世纪技能——包括训练学生终身学习—
—而言,教授批判性思维应该是核心任务”可以看出,作者对教授批判性思维是支持的,故选B。
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
8.C 推理判断题。结合全文内容可知,批判性思维对发展学生思维有重要意义,再根据最后一段
叙述的内容可知,本文体现了在教育上应该重视批判性思维对学生能力发展的意义。故选C。
