During the party, school leaders gave the 2025 Student of the Year Award to Pang Zhongwang, a PhD student from the Department of Precision Instruments. He shared this honor with eight other students and one group. Before that, he was also named one of the “People Who Moved China” in 2024. Pang’s life has been very hard. He was born into a poor family in Wugiao, Hebei. He faced many difficulties: his father had a mental illness, his mother could not walk due to a birth problem, and Pang himself had a congenital (先天性的) heart disease. Even with these great troubles, he studied hard at school while taking care of his family. He even collected waste to sell for money and pay off his family’s debts. His hard work led to success in 2017. He got the highest score in science in Cangzhou and was admitted to Tsinghua University through the Self-Reliance Program. In 2021, he went on to study for his PhD there. In his research on laser phase noise analyzers, Pang made important progress. His findings were published in top optics journals. He also used his knowledge to help optics companies in Changchun solve technical problems. Besides his studies and research, Pang joined the “Spring Bud Volunteer Teaching Program”. He returned to his hometown to teach local students and spread science knowledge. Pang’s story — from being helped to helping others — sets a shining example. It tells young people that with strong will and a sense of responsibility, they can overcome difficulties, realize their dreams, and serve their country. 1．What can we know about the Self-Reliance Program mentioned in the passage? A．It is a program that supports students who get high science scores B．It is designed to help students with special talents in research C．It probably offers opportunities to students from poor backgrounds D．It only accepts students who win awards in regional competitions 2．Why did Pang Zhongwang collect waste when he was young? A．It was a hobby that brought him a lot of fun B．It was a requirement from his school teachers C．It was a way to make money to pay for his father’s treatment D．It was a method to earn money and clear his family’s debts 3．Which of the following sentences is right? A．Pang Zhongwang won the 2025 Student of the Year Award alone. B．Pang Zhongwang’s research findings were published in a top medicine journal. C．Pang Zhongwang helped some optics companies in Changchun solve technical problems. D．Pang Zhongwang spread science knowledge when he started his PhD study. 4．Put the following events about Pang Zhongwang in the correct order: ①He was admitted to Tsinghua University through the Self-Reliance Program. ②He was named one of the “People Who Moved China”. ③He joined the “Spring Bud Volunteer Teaching Program” to teach local students. ④He was given the 2025 Student of the Year Award at Tsinghua University. ⑤He started his PhD study at Tsinghua University. A．①→⑤→②→③→④ B．①→②→⑤→③→④ C．②→①→⑤→③→④ D．①→⑤→③→②→④ 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记类记叙文。文章介绍了清华大学博士生庞众望的励志故事。 1．根据第二段内容“Pang’s life has been very hard. He was born into a poor family... admitted to Tsinghua University through the Self-Reliance Program”可知，庞众望出身贫寒，通过“自强计划”考入清华。由此可推断，该计划可能是为贫困背景但优秀的学生提供机会的项目，故选 C。 2．根据第二段最后一句“He even collected waste to sell for money and pay off his family’s debts”可知，他捡废品是为了卖钱偿还家庭债务，与选项 D 表述一致，故选 D。 3．根据第三段最后一句“He also used his knowledge to help optics companies in Changchun solve technical problems.”可知，选项C表述正确。选项A错误，因为原文说“He shared this honor with eight other students and one group”，并非独自获得；选项B错误，原文说的是“top optics journals”，而非医学期刊；选项D错误，他参加支教是在读博期间或之后，而非“开始读博时”。故选C。 4．根据文章时间线：2017年被清华录取（①）→ 2021年读博（⑤）→ 2024年当选“感动中国”人物（②）→ 参加支教（③）→ 2025年底获年度学生人物奖（④）。正确顺序为①→⑤→②→③→④。故选A。 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 3 Never give up 课时2 Reading 目标导航 重点 词汇 1.赞赏，公认；认识，辨别出 vt.___________ 2. inspire vt.______________ 3.不久 adv.___________ 4. muscle n.______________ 5.然而，但是 conj.______________ 6.最终的，最后的 adj. ______________ 7.宇宙 n.______________ 8. scientific adj.______________ 9. audience n.___________ 10.很，非常 adv.______________ 11.无论何时 conj.___________ 12. achievement n.______________ 13.意志，毅力；意愿 n.__________ 14.不管多么 adv.___________ 15.音乐家 n.______________ 16.死亡 n.___________ 重点 词组 1.克服重重困难 _________________ 2.轮椅之外的思想 _________________ 3.被公认为；被认作 _________________ 4.面对（困难、问题等） _________________ 5.深造；进一步学习 _________________ 6.之后不久 _________________ 7.夺走；带走 _________________ 8.随着病情恶化 _________________ 9.失去……的功能/使用能力 ________________________________ 10.通过电脑发声 _________________ 11.在某人晚年 _________________ 12.健康状况不佳 _________________ 13.继续奋斗；坚持战斗 _________________ 14.改变某人对…… 的看法 __________________________________ 15.广大受众；广泛的读者 _________________ 16.被翻译成…… _________________ 17.阻碍某人；挡某人的路 _________________ 18.在困境中 _________________ 19.丧失听力 _________________ 20.专注于；把目光集中在 _________________ 重点 句型 1.斯蒂芬・霍金被公认为他所处时代最伟大的科学家之一。 Stephen Hawking ________ ________ ________ one of the greatest scientists of his time. 2.虽然我无法行动，必须通过电脑发声，但在我的思想里，我是自由的。 Although I cannot move and have to ________ ________ a computer, ________ ________ ________ I am free. 3.他极受欢迎的著作《时间简史》于 1988 年首次出版，现已被翻译成 40 多种语言。 His highly popular book, A Brief History of Time, was first published in 1988 and has ________ ________ ________ over 40 languages. 4.重要的是你永不放弃。 ________ ________ ________ that you never give up. 5.无论生活看似多么艰难，总有你能做并且能取得成功的事情。 However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and ________ ________. 6.许多名人即便在人生中不得不应对艰难的挑战，也取得了巨大的成功。 Many famous people have ________ ________ ________ even though they had to ________ ________ difficult challenges in their lives. 7.这些故事提醒我们，要把目光聚焦在目标上，而非生活里的糟心事上，这一点很重要。 These stories remind us that it is important to ________ ________ ________ ________our goals, not on the bad things in our lives. 知识点睛 一．Stephen Hawking is recognized as one of the greatest scientists of his time. 斯蒂芬·霍金被认为是他那个时代最伟大的科学家之一。 【精讲】recognize vt. 意为 “认出；认可，赞赏”，用法如下： 常用于被动结构 be recognized as，表示 “被公认为……”。 He is recognized as the best player in the team. 他被公认为队里最好的选手。 【拓展】recognition n. 认出；识别；认可 His recognition of the old friend made him very excited. 认出老朋友让他十分激动 练一练 — I think I _________ that girl from the photo club.

He shared this honor with eight other students and one group. Before that, he was also named one of the “People Who Moved China” in 2024. Pang’s life has been very hard.

His hard work led to success in 2017. He got the highest score in science in Cangzhou and was admitted to Tsinghua University through the Self-Reliance Program. In 2021, he went on to study for his PhD there. In his research on laser phase noise analyzers, Pang made important progress. His findings were published in top optics journals.
