从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。
1. —Linda, look at your desk! It is ________ with dust.
—Oh, no! I will clean it up in five minutes.
A. covered B. compared C. linked D. crowded
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——琳达,看看你的桌子!上面满是灰尘。——哦,不!我五分钟后就清理。
covered覆盖/布满;compared比较;linked连接;crowded拥挤。根据“with dust”和“I will clean it up”可知,桌子上“布满”灰尘,应填covered。
2. The main glass pyramid is surrounded by three small pyramids and two pools on ________ side of its entrance.
A. both B. either C. all D. neither
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:主玻璃金字塔被位于其入口两侧的三座小金字塔和两个水池环绕。
both两者都;either两者中的任何一个;all全部;neither两者都不。根据空后单数名词“side”可知,排除后接复数名词的both和all。根据“The main glass pyramid is surrounded by three small pyramids and two pools”可知,本句表示入口两边都有景物,either side意为“两边中的每一边”,符合语境。应填either。
3. The greenhouse effect, a serious environmental problem, ________ to global warming across the whole world.
A. leads B. guides C. causes D. results
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:温室效应,一个严重的环境问题,导致全球变暖。
leads导致;guides引导;causes引起;results发生,产生。根据空后介词to可知,本句用固定搭配lead to,表示“导致”。cause后直接接宾语,result常用搭配为result in。应填leads。
4. —The group project requires every idea. No one should be left out of ________.
—You are right. Let’s invite Tom to join us, too.
A. conclusion B. discussion C. comment D. decision
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——小组项目需要每个想法。没有人应该被排除在讨论之外。——你说得对。我们也邀请汤姆加入吧。
conclusion结论;discussion讨论;comment评论;decision决定。根据“The group project requires every idea.”及“Let’s invite Tom to join us, too.”可知,语境强调需要每个人参与交流想法,即没有人应该被排除在“讨论”之外。应填discussion。
5. —Did you dare to share your ideas in class before?
—No. I was not ________ enough to do that. I would keep silent all the time.
A. wide B. brave C. amazed D. patient
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你以前敢在课堂上分享自己的想法吗?——不敢。我不够勇敢,做不到。我一直保持沉默。
wide宽的;brave勇敢的;amazed惊讶的;patient有耐心的。根据“did you dare to share”和“I would keep silent all the time”可知,说话者以前不够“勇敢”,不敢发言,故填brave。
6. —Columbus was a man who changed the world!
—I agree. His ________ of America was one of the greatest events in human history.
A. invention B. creation C. discovery D. appearance
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——哥伦布是一个改变世界的人!——我同意。他发现美洲是人类历史上最伟大的事件之一。
invention发明;creation创造;discovery发现;appearance外貌,出现。invention和creation指创造原本没有的事物,discovery指发现原本就存在的事物。根据常识可知美洲是原本存在的大陆,哥伦布发现了它。
7. —Some people are natural copyists.
—Exactly. Bob is the kind that would look at any design and copy it ________.
A. with ease B. with pleasure C. with wisdom D. with courage
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——有些人是天生的模仿者。——没错。Bob就是那种看任何设计都能轻松地模仿下来的人。
with ease轻松地;with pleasure乐意地;with wisdom智慧地;with courage勇敢地。根据“natural copyists.”可知,天生的模仿者模仿能力很强,做起来应该很轻松,应填with ease。
8. —How about going shopping this weekend?
—I’d love to, but holidays have reduced my ________ to almost nothing.
A. western region B. desk calendar C. scientific exploration D. bank balance
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——这周末去购物怎么样?——我想去,但是假期已经把我的银行余额几乎花光了。
western region西部地区;desk calendar台历;scientific exploration科学探索;bank balance银行余额。根据上文“go shopping”可知去购物需要花钱,答语中but表示转折,说明虽然想去但经济状况不允许,bank balance符合语境。
9. We teenagers should ________ the people who have made great achievements for our country, like Yuan Longping.
A. look down on B. look out for C. look up to D. look forward to
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们青少年应该尊敬那些为国家取得巨大成就的人,比如袁隆平。
look down on轻视;look out for小心;look up to尊敬;look forward to期待。根据“the people who have made great achievements for our country, like Yuan Longping”可知,对于为国家取得巨大成就的人,我们应该持尊敬的态度,look up to符合语境。
10. —My father never says sweet words, but he always helps me solve problems quietly.
—I truly believe ________.
A. what a father said is all right B. why is a father’s love silent
C. how does a father show his love to his kid D. that a father’s love is like a mountain
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我父亲从不说甜言蜜语,但他总是默默地帮我解决问题。——我真的相信父爱如山。
宾语从句需使用陈述语序,选项B和C使用了疑问语序,语法错误;根据上文“My father never says sweet words, but he always helps me solve problems quietly.”可知父爱是深沉稳重的,选项D语序正确且“父爱如山”符合语境,选项A语义不通。
三、完形填空(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Have you heard of a popular Chinese saying, Qi Lu Wang Yang—“a lamb getting lost in forked (分岔的) roads”?
In ancient China, Yang Zhu was a famous thinker. One day, one of his ____11____ rushed to him for help. He told Yang Zhu that his lamb, which he planned to sell at the county fair, was ____12____. The lamb meant a lot to his family, so he’d already asked all his family to ____13____ it. But there weren’t enough people, so he came to ____14____ Yang Zhu to send students to join the____15____.

Then his student asked, “Sir, why do you care so much about a ____21____that’s not yours?” Yang Zhu smiled and said, “The lamb is lost ____22____ there are too many roads. It’s the same with you— if you can’t pick the ____23____ direction from different goals, you’ll achieve nothing.”
“People get lost not because there’s no ____24____ ahead, but because there are too many,” Yang Zhu added. Now, Qi Lu Wang Yang is still used in many schools to encourage students to ____25____ to their choices and keep going.

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述“歧路亡羊”的成语故事。邻居因岔路多丢羊,杨朱借此感悟:目标太多易迷失。故事鼓励学生坚持选择。
【11题详解】
句意:一天,他的一位邻居跑来向他求助。
根据下文“The neighbour”,属于原词复现。应选用neighbors(邻居),表示前来求助的人物,符合后文语境。students(学生)在后文才出场;relatives(亲戚)、workers(工人)文中无对应信息,不合语境。
【12题详解】
句意:他告诉杨朱,那只打算拿到集市售卖的羊走失了。
根据开篇成语“a lamb getting lost in forked roads”,全文围绕走失的羊展开。应选用lost(丢失的),契合故事主线。dead(死的)、ill(生病的)、hurt(受伤的),文中没有羊受伤或死亡的描述,与题意无关。
【13题详解】
句意:这只羊对他家意义重大,所以他已经让全家人去寻找它。
由于前文羊丢失,丢羊后需要搜寻,为动作逻辑线索。应选用look for(寻找),符合丢羊后的行为逻辑。lookup(查阅);look after(照顾);look through(浏览),均没有“寻找”含义,不符语境。
【14题详解】
句意:但是人手不足,于是他前来(请求)杨朱派学生加入搜寻。
根据固定搭配ask sb. to do sth.(请求某人做某事)。应选用ask(请求),体现邻居求助的动作。help(帮助)不能构成该搭配;order(命令)语气强硬;allow(允许)语义不通。
【15题详解】
句意:但是人手不足,于是他前来请求杨朱派学生加入搜寻。
根据前文羊丢失,众人要一起寻找小羊。应选用search(搜寻),join the search表示参与搜寻工作。game(游戏)、show(演出)、party(聚会),均和找羊事件无关。
【16题详解】
句意:杨朱感到疑惑,问道:“为什么找一只羊需要这么多人?”
空后答句用Because作答,because用于回答why引导的问句。应选用Why(为什么),用于询问原因。When(何时)询问时间;What(什么)询问事物;Who(谁)询问人物,不能用because回答。
【17题详解】
句意:邻居(解释)道:“因为岔路太多了。”
根据上文杨朱提出疑问,下文邻居对问题进行说明。应选用explained(解释),符合一问一答的语境。shouted(大喊);complained(抱怨);discussed(讨论),此处仅回答疑问,词义不匹配。
【18题详解】
句意:数小时后,搜寻的人们空着手回来了。
根据后文杨朱再次发问“How could you fail to find it”,说明没有找到羊。应选用empty(空的),with empty hands表示空手而归,体现搜寻失败。dirty(脏的);full(满的);warm(温暖的),无法体现没有找到羊的结果。
【19题详解】
句意:杨朱又问:“你们怎么(没能)找到它?每条路都有很多小路。”
根据固定搭配fail to do sth.(没能做成某事),前文提到众人空手而归。应选用fail(失败),fail to find 表示没能找到小羊。forget(忘记);decide(决定);agree(同意),代入句子语义不通。
【20题详解】
句意:听到这番话,杨朱陷入深深地沉默。
副词修饰动词,deeply修饰became,搭配silence。应选用deeply(深深地),become deeply silent指陷入深深沉思。happily(开心地);suddenly(突然);loudly(大声地),和silence(沉默)矛盾。
【21题详解】
句意:然后他的学生问道:“先生,您为什么对这只羊如此上心,它又不是您的?”
根据全文,故事围绕丢失的羊展开。应选用lamb(羊),贴合故事核心事物。cow(牛)、dog(狗)、chicken(鸡),文中没有出现这些动物,与题意无关。
【22题详解】
句意:杨朱笑着说:“羊走失了,因为岔路太多。”
前半句“羊走失”,后半句“道路太多”,前后是因果逻辑。应选用because(因为),引导原因状语从句,解释羊丢失的缘由。unless(除非);though(虽然);if(如果),逻辑关系不匹配。
【23题详解】
句意:这和你们是同一个道理——如果你不能从众多目标里选出正确的方向,终将一事无成。
根据后半句you’ll achieve nothing(一事无成),条件是选不对方向。分析正确选项:应选用right(正确的),the right direction表示正确的方向。wrong(错误的);big(大的);small(小的),代入语义不符。
【24题详解】
句意:杨朱补充道:人们迷路,不是前方没有方向,而是方向太多。
根据上文direction原词复现,本句为并列对比结构。应选用direction(方向),对应前文阐述的道理。difficulty(困难);result(结果);message(信息),和迷路主题不匹配。
【25题详解】
句意:如今“歧路亡羊”仍在很多学校使用,鼓励学生坚持自己的选择,继续前行。
根据固定搭配stick to(坚持);后文keep going(继续前行)。应选用stick,stick to their choices表示坚持选择,符合句意。trust(信任);prepare(准备);hurt(伤害),不能和to构成该短语。
四、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读A、B、C三篇材料,从每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Manta rays inspire new design
Manta rays (蝠鲼) have big, flat bodies that help them move well in the water. Chinese scientists have made a soft-body submersible in the same shape as the manta ray. This is the world's first soft-body submersible that looks like a manta ray. With two “eyes”, the submersible can “see” in the dark underwater. One looks ahead to find things, while the other looks to the sides to make a map of the ocean floor. The submersible can work in groups.
________________________
US scientists have made a 3D model to predict how mosquitoes fly. If mosquitoes can only see a target, they fly quickly toward it. If they can't see a target but can smell something like carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), they slow down and move back and forth to stay close. When mosquitoes can both see and smell the target, they fly in a circle around it and get ready to land. These findings could help make better traps (陷阱) to catch mosquitoes.
“Clever” sensor for your watch
With only a sensor (传感器) as small as a coin, your watch can turn into a smartwatch! This sensor is called The Heir and comes from the US. You can use a micro suction disc (微型吸盘) to stick it to the back of most watches. It counts your steps and sends them to an app on your phone. It also vibrates (振动) to tell you when you get calls and messages. You can also play music on your phone by tapping it.
26. In which SECTION of the newspaper can we most likely read the news?
A. LIFE B. ART C. SCIENCE D. SPORTS
27. What do we know about the soft-body submersible?
①shape ②color ③ working way ④ price
A. ①② B. ①③ C. ③④ D. ①④
28. What would be a good heading for the second piece of news?
A. Flight Tracks for Mosquito Traps B. New Ways to Catch Mosquitoes
C. Better Traps from Scientists D. Keep Mosquitoes Away
29. What can we infer about the sensor called The Heir?
A. It is very tiny in size. B. It is mainly used to make calls.
C. It needs to be recharged every day. D. It can be used underwater.
30. What does the news above focus on?
A. New discoveries about different animals. B. Success of common people.
C. High-tech products with different purposes. D. Problems in our daily life.
【答案】26. C 27. B 28. B 29. A 30. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了三项前沿科技成果:模仿蝠鲼研制的软体潜水器、预测蚊子飞行轨迹的3D模型、可把普通手表变为智能手表的传感器,并分别介绍了它们的功能与用途。
【26题详解】
全文三篇短文都介绍科学方面的新发明与研究,因此我们最有可能在报纸的SCIENCE版面读到这几则新闻。
【27题详解】
第一段指出:“Chinese scientists have made a soft‑body submersible in the same shape as the manta ray…With two ‘eyes’, the submersible can “see” in the dark underwater.”,从中我们可以得知它的shape“外形”以及working way“工作方式”,文中没有提及颜色color和价格price。
【28题详解】
第二则新闻写道:“These findings could help make better traps (陷阱) to catch mosquitoes.”,科学家通过研究蚊子不同状态下的飞行模式,利用该研究成果帮助制造更好的捕蚊陷阱,代表捕捉蚊子的新途径。
【29题详解】
第三段写道:“With only a sensor (传感器) as small as a coin”,由硬币一般大小这一句,能够推断出该传感器的体积很小;没有提及打电话用途、每日充电、水下使用的相关描述。
【30题详解】
三则新闻分别介绍用途各不相同的高科技产品:仿生软体潜水器、蚊子飞行研究模型、手表传感器,所以文章的焦点是用途不同的高科技产品。
B
Emojis are small pictures that people use in messages. A smiling face, a heart or a thumbs-up can add feeling to a sentence and help people show happiness, surprise or a joke.
Emojis come from two Japanese words: e, meaning picture, and moji, meaning character. In 1999, designer Shigetaka Kurita created the first famous set of emojis in Japan. He made 176 tiny symbols for a Japanese company’s early mobile internet service. The designs used a 12×12 pixel grid (12×12像素网格) and included weather signs, hearts, faces and transport symbols for mobile phones.
At first, emoji systems did not always work between different phone companies. But a major change came when Unicode added hundreds of Japanese mobile-phone emojis to its standard in 2010. Unicode gives characters shared codes (编码), so phone and computer companies started using the same emoji codes. Now an emoji can travel with a message from one device to another and be read on many kinds of phones and computers.
________. Emojis do not have the grammar and vocabulary of a real language. Their meanings depend on context, audience and culture. A symbol may make a short message softer, but it can be understood differently by different groups. Emojis work best as an extra help beside words, not to take the place of language.
31. What were included in the first set of emojis?
a. weather signs b. hearts c. animal pictures d. plant icons
A. a&b B. b&c C. a&c D. b&d
32. Why could emojis travel among different phones after 2010?
A. Because phone companies improved their phones greatly.
B. Because Unicode provided shared codes for symbols.
C. Because Unicode collected many emojis for its system.
D. Because people used the same symbol in different situations.
33. Which of the following can be put in __________?
A. So emojis can take the place of language one day.
B. However, emojis are becoming more and more popular.
C. So people can understand emojis in the same way.
D. However, we cannot call emojis a universal language.
34. What does the underlined word “context” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. the grammar of a language B. the picture of an emoji symbol
C. the situation around the message D. the vocabulary of words
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How emojis became a shared digital language. B. Why emojis will take the place of real language.
C. How to create new emoji symbols for phones. D. Why different cultures use different emojis.
【答案】31. A 32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了表情符号的起源、标准化发展过程,以及其作为交流工具的特点与局限性。
【31题详解】
根据文章第2段“The designs used a 12×12 pixel grid...and included weather signs, hearts, faces and transport symbols”可知,第一套表情符号的设计包含了天气符号和心形等图案,对应选项中的a和b。
【32题详解】
根据文章第3段“Unicode gives characters shared codes... so phone and computer companies started using the same emoji codes”可知,Unicode提供了共享编码,使得不同公司的设备能使用相同的代码,从而让表情符号能在不同手机间传输。
【33题详解】
根据文章第4段“Emojis do not have the grammar and vocabulary of a real language.”及后文对表情符号依赖语境且不能完全替代语言的描述,可知段首应填入表示转折且说明表情符号并非通用语言的句子,起到统领全段的作用。
【34题详解】
根据文章第4段“Their meanings depend on context, audience and culture.”可知,表情符号的含义取决于受众和文化背景,context在此处指代信息周围的情境或语境。
【35题详解】
通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了表情符号从起源到通过Unicode标准成为共享数字代码的发展过程,同时也说明了其作为辅助交流工具的性质。
C
How can we plant seven trees so that there are six rows (行), with three trees in each row? Wang Hong, now 35, still remembers the joy of solving this maths problem as a child. Today, that joy has grown into a lifelong love of maths. On July 23, she received the Fields Medal (菲尔兹奖) for solving the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture (三维挂谷猜想). She became the first Chinese woman and the third woman ever to win this prize. However, Wang’s road to success was not easy. It was like the famous “needle” in the Kakeya conjecture: it kept turning and trying new directions before finding enough space.
At junior high school, Wang’s thinking was active but not always welcomed. She was once laughed at because she often raised her hand. Her teacher, Mr. Tang, comforted her and taught her to speak bravely and listen carefully. He also invited her to join a “Daily Problem” group to improve her maths thinking.
In 2007, Wang got into Peking University but missed the math program by a few points. After studying two majors in the first year, she transferred (转入) to math. But college-level math was tough, and most of Wang’s classmates had training in Mathematics Olympiads (奥数竞赛). “I feel like I was always struggling (挣扎),” she said. In 2011, she left for France and later the US. There, she met many unsolved problems. She started to doubt whether she was good enough to do mathematical research and even considered giving up maths to become an architect (建筑师).
But later, she realized that research wasn’t about having all the answers. Even rough ideas and questions without answers still count. They all help us learn more deeply. The joy of maths lies not only in the answer. It lies in the thinking itself. And this joy finally beat doubt and led Wang to her great success.
36. Why does the writer compare Wang Hong’s life to the “needle” in Paragraph 1?
A. Her childhood influenced the maths study. B. Her path to maths included changes and turns.
C. Her success depended on hard work. D. Her prize helped understand an old maths problem.
37. What did her teacher guide her to do?
A. Keep quiet in class to avoid more trouble. B. Develop listening skills and courage.
C. Care more about social skills. D. Find a balance between speaking and listening.
38. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. It shows her hard experience brought self-doubt.
B. It compares her study experiences of different colleges.
C. It explains why Wang considered architecture.
D. It tells that olympiads training is helpful for research.
39. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Great prizes are the best reward for Wang’s talents.
B. Thinking itself can bring joy, not just final answers.
C. Researchers need to get all answers before they start.
D. We should stay away from doubt in scientific research.
40. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Reaching a Milestone B. Small Steps, Big Dreams
C. Never Stop Exploring D. When Joy Beats Doubt
【答案】36. B 37. B 38. A 39. B 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了王虹从小热爱数学,历经求学路上的重重困难与自我怀疑,依靠对数学思考本身的热爱战胜疑惑,最终斩获菲尔兹奖的故事。

Manta rays inspire new design
Manta rays (蝠鲼) have big, flat bodies that help them move well in the water. Chinese scientists have made a soft-body submersible in the same shape as the manta ray. This is the world's first soft-body submersible that looks like a manta ray. With two “eyes”, the submersible can “see” in the dark underwater. One looks ahead to find things, while the other looks to the sides to make a map of the ocean floor. The submersible can work in groups.

US scientists have made a 3D model to predict how mosquitoes fly. If mosquitoes can only see a target, they fly quickly toward it. If they can't see a target but can smell something like carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), they slow down and move back and forth to stay close. When mosquitoes can both see and smell the target, they fly in a circle around it and get ready to land. These findings could help make better traps (陷阱) to catch mosquitoes.

Emojis are small pictures that people use in messages. A smiling face, a heart or a thumbs-up can add feeling to a sentence and help people show happiness, surprise or a joke.
Emojis come from two Japanese words: e, meaning picture, and moji, meaning character. In 1999, designer Shigetaka Kurita created the first famous set of emojis in Japan. He made 176 tiny symbols for a Japanese company’s early mobile internet service. The designs used a 12×12 pixel grid (12×12像素网格) and included weather signs, hearts, faces and transport symbols for mobile phones.
At first, emoji systems did not always work between different phone companies. But a major change came when Unicode added hundreds of Japanese mobile-phone emojis to its standard in 2010. Unicode gives characters shared codes (编码), so phone and computer companies started using the same emoji codes. Now an emoji can travel with a message from one device to another and be read on many kinds of phones and computers.
________. Emojis do not have the grammar and vocabulary of a real language. Their meanings depend on context, audience and culture. A symbol may make a short message softer, but it can be understood differently by different groups. Emojis work best as an extra help beside words, not to take the place of language.
31. What were included in the first set of emojis?
a. weather signs b. hearts c. animal pictures d. plant icons
A. a&b B. b&c C. a&c D. b&d
32. Why could emojis travel among different phones after 2010?
A. Because phone companies improved their phones greatly.
B. Because Unicode provided shared codes for symbols.
C. Because Unicode collected many emojis for its system.
D. Because people used the same symbol in different situations.
33. Which of the following can be put in __________?
A. So emojis can take the place of language one day.
B. However, emojis are becoming more and more popular.
C. So people can understand emojis in the same way.
D. However, we cannot call emojis a universal language.
34. What does the underlined word “context” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. the grammar of a language B. the picture of an emoji symbol
C. the situation around the message D. the vocabulary of words
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How emojis became a shared digital language. B. Why emojis will take the place of real language.
C. How to create new emoji symbols for phones. D. Why different cultures use different emojis.
C
How can we plant seven trees so that there are six rows (行), with three trees in each row? Wang Hong, now 35, still remembers the joy of solving this maths problem as a child. Today, that joy has grown into a lifelong love of maths. On July 23, she received the Fields Medal (菲尔兹奖) for solving the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture (三维挂谷猜想). She became the first Chinese woman and the third woman ever to win this prize. However, Wang’s road to success was not easy. It was like the famous “needle” in the Kakeya conjecture: it kept turning and trying new directions before finding enough space.
At junior high school, Wang’s thinking was active but not always welcomed. She was once laughed at because she often raised her hand. Her teacher, Mr. Tang, comforted her and taught her to speak bravely and listen carefully. He also invited her to join a “Daily Problem” group to improve her maths thinking.
In 2007, Wang got into Peking University but missed the math program by a few points. After studying two majors in the first year, she transferred (转入) to math. But college-level math was tough, and most of Wang’s classmates had training in Mathematics Olympiads (奥数竞赛). “I feel like I was always struggling (挣扎),” she said. In 2011, she left for France and later the US. There, she met many unsolved problems. She started to doubt whether she was good enough to do mathematical research and even considered giving up maths to become an architect (建筑师).
But later, she realized that research wasn’t about having all the answers. Even rough ideas and questions without answers still count. They all help us learn more deeply. The joy of maths lies not only in the answer. It lies in the thinking itself. And this joy finally beat doubt and led Wang to her great success.
36. Why does the writer compare Wang Hong’s life to the “needle” in Paragraph 1?
A. Her childhood influenced the maths study. B. Her path to maths included changes and turns.
C. Her success depended on hard work. D. Her prize helped understand an old maths problem.
37. What did her teacher guide her to do?
A. Keep quiet in class to avoid more trouble. B. Develop listening skills and courage.
C. Care more about social skills. D. Find a balance between speaking and listening.
38. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. It shows her hard experience brought self-doubt.
B. It compares her study experiences of different colleges.
C. It explains why Wang considered architecture.
D. It tells that olympiads training is helpful for research.
39. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Great prizes are the best reward for Wang’s talents.
B. Thinking itself can bring joy, not just final answers.
C. Researchers need to get all answers before they start.
D. We should stay away from doubt in scientific research.
40. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Reaching a Milestone B. Small Steps, Big Dreams
C. Never Stop Exploring D. When Joy Beats Doubt
