【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了“瓜后”吴明珠一生致力于西瓜研究,为中国西瓜栽培做出了巨大贡献。即使晚年患病,她依然心系西瓜,她的精神激励着年轻科学家。
【详解】1.句意:当我们坐在房间里自由地吃着西瓜时,我们应该记住我们的“瓜后”——吴明珠。
根据“our melon queen — Wu Mingzhu”及后文都在讲述吴明珠的事迹可知,此处指记住“瓜后”吴明珠,应该填remember。attend意为“参加”;treat意为“对待”;burn意为“燃烧”,均不符合语境。
2.句意:很难相信这样一个女人在那个年代会在瓜地里干农活。
根据“to believe that such a woman would do farm work on the melon land”及后文可知,吴明珠是大学生,所以很难相信她会干农活,应该填hard。silent意为“沉默的”;wide意为“宽的”;useful意为“有用的”,均不符合语境。
3.句意:大学毕业后,她去了新疆,开始了对瓜的研究。
根据“After finishing her studies in university, she went to Xinjiang to begin her...on melons.”及后文介绍可知,她去了新疆是研究西瓜,应该填research。meeting意为“会议”;shortage意为“短缺”;government意为“政府”,均不符合语境。
4.句意:她和整个团队花了3年时间去那里的瓜地考察。
根据“3 years travelling to the melon lands there.”可知,此处考查固定搭配spend time doing sth.,表示“花费时间做某事”。spread意为“传播”;admired意为“钦佩”;led意为“带领”,均不符合语境。
5.句意:他们手写的信息超过五百万字。
根据“five...words”可知,此处表示“五百万字”,具体数字后接million,用单数形式,即“five million words”。
6.句意:尽管那里的条件比新疆更艰苦,但她从未放弃。
根据“the conditions there were even more difficult than those in Xinjiang”和“she never gave up.”可知,前后句是让步关系,用Although引导让步状语从句。So that意为“以便”;Until意为“直到”;If意为“如果”,均不符合语境。
7.句意:她一直在思考如何提高生长速度。
根据“the growing speed”可知,思考如何提高生长速度,应该用increase。protect意为“保护”;prefer意为“更喜欢”;trust意为“信任”,均不符合语境。
8.句意:在20世纪90年代,她和她的团队培育了“8424”,这是江浙一带的一种高档西瓜。
根据“‘8424’, a high-grade watermelon”可知,此处指培育出了新品种的西瓜,应该填developed。looked意为“看”;forgot意为“忘记”;doubted意为“怀疑”,均不符合语境。
9.句意:然后他们逐渐把这种西瓜传播到中国北方地区。

Qian Xuesen was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on December 11,1911. In 1929, Qian placed third in the national college entrance examination and got a chance to attend Shanghai Jiao Tong University. There, he received a degree in mechanical engineering with an emphasis on railroad administration. In 1932, Shanghai was bombed and invaded by Japan. Qian graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1934, and the following year he left China for graduate study in the US.
In an age before computers, Qian’s ability to quickly perform complex calculations attracted a group of rocket scientists at California Institute of Technology. Qian joined them and received his PhD.degree in both aerospace and mathematics three years later. After he graduated, he became a professor as well as a researcher who studied rockets and missile (导弹) theories.
In 1949, when the news of the birth of the People’s Republic of China came to the United States, Qian Xuesen and his wife decided to return to China. In 1950, when they were ready to return home, they were stopped by US officials and sent to prison. With the help of Chinese government and his friends, he finally returned home.
When he returned to China in 1955, our country’s space research was almost deserted. In 1956, he set up the first research institute of rockets and missile. And he personally trained the first generation of China’s aerospace engineers. He was a pioneer and was honored as “The father of China’s missile”. He is the pride of the Chinese people. He made important contributions to the missile and space programs in China.
He passed away on October 31, 2009 at the age of 98, but his history still encouraged Chinese youth. His devotion to our country was expressed in his saying, “My career is in China, my success is in China and my destination is in China!” When someone said he could make much more money if he stayed in the United States, he laughed and said, “My family name is Qian, but I don’t like Qian.”

(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.

【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。
【详解】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”。
4.原文第三段“Workers must take away harmful salt that breaks the paintings”,盐分是破坏壁画、造成破损的元凶之一,选项D表述正确。
5.全文核心人物是樊再轩,讲述他数十年守护、修复敦煌古壁画的事迹,因此选项C“Fan Zaixuan: A Protector of Ancient Paintings”最能概括全文。
