Six years ago, at the age of 41, he was diagnosed with ALS, a disease that usually gives patients only three to five years to live. Doctors estimated he had little time left, but Cai decided to fight back. “ALS can freeze my body,         56         AI will never freeze,” Cai said through an AI-replicated voice at the gala. He has been unable to move his limbs or speak for years, but he has never         57         hope. Cai launched what he calls his “last startup” — dedicating himself to finding a cure for ALS. He built a platform, connected with patients, and pushed forward drug development. With the help of AI, his team created an “AI research brain” that could         58         nearly 40,000 ALS research papers from the past 200 years. This AI system has increased drug screening efficiency by dozens or even hundreds of times. It was not easy         59         Cai to continue his work while his body was failing him.

It is truly inspiring         62         him to turn a death sentence into a mission to save others. He once said, “I hope more people          63         this fight.

When he was young, he read a lot of books and wrote many good articles. People thought highly of him. Because of this, he became very arrogant and wrote a couplet (对联) for himself. Knowing all the words in the world; Reading all the books on the earth. A wise old man saw this couplet and thought, “It is necessary for Su Shi to learn how to be modest (谦虚的).” So, one day, he came to Su Shi's house with a book. The old man showed Su Shi the book and explained, “There are some difficult words that I can’t understand in the book. I have asked many people, but none of them could understand their meanings. I have heard that you are a person with rich knowledge, so I come to ask you.” Full of confidence, Su Shi opened the book, but he became very s… There were many words he didn’t know. At that moment, Su Shi realized that there were many more things that he had to learn. Actually, the old man knew every word in this book. He just wanted to make Su Shi know the importance of being modest. Su Shi was embarrassed. Then he quickly took his brush and ink and added some words to the couplet; Working hard to know all the words in the world; Being determined to read all the books on the earth. From then on, he worked even harder than before. Finally, Su Shi made great achievements in many fields, especially in literature. 11．What does the underlined word “arrogant” mean in the passage?

A．To tell readers Su Shi’s achievements in literature. B．To explain how Su Shi wrote his famous couplet. C．To show that modesty is important for learning. B On July 23, 2026, a historic moment arrived for Chinese mathematics. At the opening ceremony of the International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia, two Chinese mathematicians — Deng Yu and Wang Hong — were awarded the Fields Medal. This is the first time that Chinese mathematicians have received this honor, which is often called the “Nobel Prize of mathematics”. Deng Yu, from Shenzhen, Guangdong, and Wang Hong, from Guilin, Guangxi, both completed their primary and secondary education in China before entering Peking University in 2007. Their achievements have brought great pride to the country. Wang Hong and her collaborators solved the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture, a problem that had puzzled mathematicians for over a hundred years. She also made major breakthroughs in the two-dimensional Falconer distance problem. Deng Yu and his collaborators completed a strict derivation from the hard-sphere particle system to the Boltzmann equation, making key progress on Hilbert’s sixth problem. Academician Tian Gang from Peking University said that Deng and Wang’s breakthroughs show the spirit of “daring to enter uncharted territory and daring to challenge recognized major problems”. This is the courage to face difficulties and the perseverance to keep going. When asked about her feelings, Wang Hong said, “This means a lot to me and my collaborators”. She recalled that in high school, she read about Terence Tao winning the Fields Medal in a math magazine and was very excited. “Today, I am just as excited,” she said. 16．When were Deng Yu and Wang Hong awarded the Fields Medal? A．On July 23, 2025. B．On July 23, 2026. C．In 2007. D．On July 30, 2026. 17．What did Wang Hong and her collaborators achieve? A．They solved the two-dimensional Falconer distance problem. B．They solved the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture. C．They proved the Riemann Hypothesis. D．They won the Nobel Prize in Physics. 18．Where did Deng Yu and Wang Hong complete their university education? A．At Tsinghua University. B．At Peking University. C．At Fudan University. D．At Zhejiang University. 19．What did Wang Hong say she felt when she received the award? A．She felt surprised. B．She felt just as excited as when she read about it in high school. C．She felt disappointed. D．She felt it was not important. 20．What is the main idea of this passage? A．Chinese mathematicians made history by winning the Fields Medal. B．The Fields Medal is the most important award in physics. C．Deng Yu and Wang Hong studied abroad. D．Mathematics is the most difficult subject. C When we ask “Who inspires us?”, teenagers usually turn to someone older and wiser. He might be a scientist, a teacher, a family member or another more experienced teenager. However, not everyone is suitable to be an inspiring person. Inspiring people have characters that make them easy to be looked up to. 21．_________ 22．__________ Most people admire those who have much confidence in themselves. Inspiring people have a healthy appreciation (评价) of their achievements. Just as Dr. Robyn Silverman suggests, healthy self-confidence shows itself in the form of taking pride in who you are and what you’ve learned in your life. 23．______ Inspiring people take action to reach a goal and are willing to spend the necessary time and effort achieving success. They don’t give up easily and continue trying when faced with challenges. This character encourages teenagers to follow through and reach the goals they set for themselves. They are respectful. 24．________ Young people like being treated with respect and admire those who treat them and others that way. Inspiring people who show an equal (平等的) view of those different from them also earn the admiration of others. They are positive and creative. 25．________ They prefer to see the bright side in difficult situations and can find creative solutions. A．They are confident. B．They are hard-working. C．Inspiring people show respect for others. D．Inspiring people influence others in a positive way. E．It is simple for every teenager to become an inspiring person. F．Here are some common characteristics of inspiring people.

IV、阅读表达(共20分) Huang Xuhua, a great Chinese scientist, left us on February 6th, 2025. Yet his incredible story and courageous (无畏的) spirit will never be forgotten. Born in Guangdong in 1926, Huang saw his country go through hard times. Those memories encouraged him to study harder. He promised to use his knowledge to strengthen China. In the 1950s, China began building its first nuclear submarine (核潜艇) —a mission almost impossible. Back then, the country had little technology and few resources. It was like climbing the world’s steepest mountain. Still, Huang and his team accepted the challenge. To keep the project top secret, they cut contact with everyone—even their families. For 30 years, Huang didn’t return home. He missed his father’s and brother’s final moments, and only saw his mother again when she turned 93. Without help from other countries, the team had to rely on themselves. They did thousands of calculations (计算) using traditional tools like abacuses (算盘). After years of effort, China’s first nuclear submarine finally made great success in the 1970s. This made China one of the few nations with such technology. Huang didn’t stop there—he kept improving submarine technology for years. In 2019, he was awarded the “Medal of the Republic”—one of China’s highest honors. Huang’s life teaches us to be brave, work hard, and love our country. As young students, we should continue his dream—face challenges bravely, take responsibility, and try our best to build a stronger China. That’s how we keep his spirit alive. 1. How did Huang’s team do difficult calculations?（2分） 2. Why did Huang disappear for 30 years?（2分） 3. What can we learn from Huang Xuhua according to the passage?（2分） 4. 翻译划线句子。（2分） ___________________________________________________________________________________ 5.找出下面句子的同义句。（2分） The team had to depend on themselves because they got no help from other countries. ___________________________________________________________________________________ 6.
