My hometown ________ a small poor village, but now it has become a modern city. A. is used to be B. used to being C. uses to be D. used to be 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的家乡过去是一个贫穷的小村庄，但现在它已经变成了一座现代化的城市。 根据“but now it has become a modern city.”，表达过去是村庄而现在不是的语境，应填used to be。 2. Great changes ________ in my hometown over the past ten years. A. take place B. have taken place C. took place D. will take place 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：在过去的十年间，我的家乡发生了巨大的变化。 根据句中标志性时间状语“over the past ten years”可知，动作从过去十年前开始持续到现在，强调变化对当下的影响，需使用现在完成时，应填have taken place。 3. The scientist ________ developed hybrid rice has saved millions of people. A. who B. which C. what D. where 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位研发杂交水稻的科学家拯救了数百万人。 who谁，指代人；which哪一个，指代物；what什么，不能引导定语从句；where在哪里，在从句中作地点状语。先行词The scientist指人，且从句缺少主语，故填who。 4. It is very kind ________ you to help me with my English. A. for B. to C. of D. with 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：你真好，帮我学习英语。 for用于描述事件性质的形容词后；to可构成be kind to sb表示“对某人友好”；of用于描述人物品质的形容词后；with意为“和、用”。根据句中形容词kind是形容人的善良品质，符合固定句型“It is + 形容词 + of sb. to do sth.”的用法，应填of。 5. Before making a decision, you should think carefully and weigh the costs against the ________ it will bring. A. benefits B. actions C. reasons D. products 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：在做决定之前，你应该仔细思考并权衡成本与它将带来的收益。 benefits好处，收益；actions行动；reasons原因；products产品。根据“weigh the costs against...”可知，此处指权衡“成本”与“收益”，benefits符合语境。 6.

A. brought about B. looked up C. put off D. taken away 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这条新公路给这个小镇带来了许多变化。 brought about引起，带来，造成；looked up查阅，向上看；put off推迟，拖延；taken away拿走，带走。bring about changes是固定搭配，表示“带来变化”，符合语境。 7. —May I borrow your ruler? I ________ mine at home. —Sure. Here you are. A. leave B. will leave C. have left D. was leaving 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我可以借用你的尺子吗？我把我的落在家里了。——当然。给你。 根据题干“May I borrow your ruler?”可知，尺子落在家里导致现在需要借用，强调过去动作对现在的影响，应用现在完成时，应填have left。 8. Yuan Longping ________ the Medal of the Republic in 2019. A. has received B. receives C. received D. is receiving 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：袁隆平在2019年获得了共和国勋章。 根据时间状语“in 2019”可知，这是一个具体的过去时间点，应用一般过去时，因此received符合语境。 9. The city has become a ________ place to live in than before. A. more comfortable B. most comfortable C. comfortable D. comfortably 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这座城市已经成为一个比以前更舒适的居住地。 more comfortable更舒适的；most comfortable最舒适的；comfortable舒适的；comfortably舒适地。首先，句中出现比较级标志词than，说明句子存在两者比较的逻辑，空格处需使用比较级形式；其次，空格后为名词place，需使用形容词对其进行修饰，comfortable为形容词，意为“舒适的”，more comfortable (形容词comfortable的比较级)，既符合比较级的语法要求，也满足形容词修饰名词的规则，符合语境。 10. —________! I have just won the first prize in the English speech contest. —Congratulations! I am so proud of you. A. Guess what B. Why not C. I know D. I’m sorry 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你猜怎么着！我刚刚在英语演讲比赛中获得了一等奖。——恭喜你！我为你感到骄傲。 Guess what你猜怎么着；Why not为什么不呢；I know我知道；I’m sorry对不起。根据“I have just won the first prize in the English speech contest.”可知，说话人正要分享一个令人兴奋的好消息，“Guess what”常用于口语中引出令人惊讶或兴奋的消息，以引起对方注意，符合语境。 Ⅴ. 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分，满分20分)阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Wang Wei was born in a small mountain village.

D 17. B 18. C 19. A 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了王伟回到家乡，目睹了家乡从贫穷到富裕的巨大变化，表达了对家乡发展的自豪及对未来的美好憧憬。 【11题详解】 句意：没有道路，人们不得不步行数小时才能到达最近的城镇。 根据“hours”为时间段可知，for“达/计”接时间段；walk for hours“步行数小时”表示步行持续的时间；since“自从”、in“在……里”、at“在”，均不接时间段表示持续。 【12题详解】 句意：过去山上除了沙石一无所有。 固定搭配 be covered with 意为 “被……覆盖”；crowded “拥挤的”，filled “充满”，compared “比较”，不能和 with 搭配表达山体覆盖沙石的含义。 【13题详解】 句意：变化真大啊！ 后文介绍家乡道路、山林、学校的巨大改变，change “变化” 符合语境；problem “问题”，promise “承诺”，reason “理由”，均不符合回乡看到新面貌的语境。 【14题详解】 句意：一条新公路把村庄和城市连接起来。 固定搭配 join…to… 意为 “把……和……连接起来”；divides “划分”，separates “分离”，refuses “拒绝”，语义和新建公路连通城乡不符。 【15题详解】 句意：山上长满绿树，农民使用现代技术种植水果和蔬菜。 根据“modern”和农业种植语境，指现代农业技术，technology“技术”符合语境；tradition “传统”，culture “文化”，language “语言”，都不能用来帮助种植果蔬。 【16题详解】 句意：这所学校过去只是一栋小建筑，里面的课桌都破旧不堪。 本句介绍学校旧貌，building “建筑物” 符合语境；hospital “医院”，station “车站”，factory “工厂”，都不是学校。 【17题详解】 句意：孩子们看起来十分开心、兴奋。 look “看起来”，后面接形容词描述人的神态；smell “闻起来”，taste “尝起来”，sound “听起来”，不能用来描述人的心情神态。 【18题详解】 句意：叔叔告诉他：“我们的生活改变了很多。” 根据上下文变化巨大，a lot 修饰动词 changed 表示程度深。a little/bit“很少” 程度不够，a few 修饰可数名词。 【19题详解】 句意：但是我们必须铭记过去，继续努力奋斗。 前文讲生活发生巨大改变，要不忘过去，past “过去” 符合语境；future “未来”，money “钱”，hope “希望”，不符合不忘过往的句意。 【20题详解】 句意：他为这些变化感到自豪，并且相信家乡的未来会更加光明。 believed “相信”，对家乡未来抱有信心；guessed “猜测”，doubted “怀疑”，worried “担心”，和前文自豪的情感不一致。 根据“proud”和“brighter”可知，表达积极的信念，believed “相信”，符合语境；guessed “猜测”，doubted “怀疑”，worried “担心”，情感色彩不符。 B Lu Jie grew up in a poor family in a small town.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了陆杰英语不好受嘲笑，但在老师鼓励下努力学习，最终获奖并实现梦想的故事，告诉我们努力必有回报。 【21题详解】 句意：在学校，他不擅长英语 根据下一句“He often failed in English tests and felt very disappointed.”，可知他不擅长英语，对应选项中的English“英语”。 【22题详解】 句意：同学有时嘲笑他。 根据“made him sad”及横线后的“at”，可知横线处填写的动词是laughed，构成laugh at的固定搭配，意为“嘲笑”。其他选项中的“微笑”、“大叫”、“看”都不至于让他伤心。 【23题详解】 句意：如果你保持尝试和相信自己，你能取得进步。 根据老师鼓励语境及make的常用固定搭配，可知横线处填写progress构成make progress的词组，意为“取得进步”。其他选项不符合学习进步的逻辑。 【24题详解】 句意：这些话深深触动了他。 根据鼓励的话产生积极动力，选项中touched“触动”符合语境。其他选项中“伤害”和“无聊”不符语境，“惊讶”程度不够。 【25题详解】 句意：他每天早上起床后都会背诵新单词并大声朗读英语。 根据学习新单词的语境，记单词比较合理，对应选项memorize“记忆”。其他动词不符合学习逻辑。 【26题详解】 句意：他向老师寻求建议并在课堂认真听讲。 根据师生学习场景和ask sb. for advice的固定搭配，可知选项中advice“建议”适用。其他选项不符合请教老师的逻辑。 【27题详解】 句意：两年后，陆杰在他的城市赢得了英语比赛。 根据后文“His success”可知他在英语比赛中获胜。对应选项中的won“获胜”。 【28题详解】 句意：他的成功激励了许多他学校里的学生。 根据成功故事的正面影响，inspired“鼓励”合理。其他选项为负面或中性词。 【29题详解】 句意：他的努力给他带来了巨大的成功。 根据 bring sb. sth. 结构，选项中brought“带来”符合。其他选项中，made后常接形容词，take“带走”和send“送给”语义不符。 【30题详解】 句意：陆杰的故事告诉我们，有信心和努力，每个人都能实现他们的梦想。 根据“dream”前常用动词为realize，组成realize dreams“实现梦想”，代入到文章中也符合文章主旨。其他选项与梦想搭配不当。 Ⅵ. 补全对话(共5 小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 根据对话内容，从方框内的选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两个为多余选项。 A: Hi, Linda.

They are national heroes. Now let’s learn about three of them. Yu Min, 1926-2019 Nuclear (核武器) physicist On 17 June, 1967, China set off its first hydrogen bomb (氢弹) . It took only 32months to go from its first atom bomb (原子弹) to its first hydrogen bomb. As a nuclear physicist, Yu Min played an important role in this process. The theories and models he created were key to the successful test. Zhang Fuqing, 1924-2022 War veteran (老兵) Zhang was a soldier in the People’s Liberation Army (人民解放军) during the Liberation War. He was twice awarded (被授予) the title of Combat (战斗) Hero. In 1955, he volunteered to work in a remote (偏远的) county (县) in Hubei Province and has been helping poor people there ever since. Yuan Longping, 1930-2021 “Father of Hybrid Rice” Yuan Longping devotes himself to agricultural education and research. He is the first person in the world to develop a hybrid rice strain (杂交水稻品种). His research on higher rice yields (产量) helps fight hunger in China and other parts of the world. 36. Who is Yu Min? A. A medical scientist. B. “Father of Hybrid Rice”. C. A war veteran. D.

B. Because he discovered the hybrid rice. C. Because he bought the hybrid rice. D. Because he developed a hybrid rice strain first. 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了三位为国家发展做出贡献的国家英雄：于敏、张富清、袁隆平，分别介绍了他们的身份和主要贡献。 【36题详解】 原文介绍于敏时明确指出：“Yu Min, 1926-2019, Nuclear (核武器) physicist”，说明他是一名核物理学家。 【37题详解】 原文介绍张富清时提到：“He was twice awarded (被授予) the title of Combat (战斗) Hero.” 说明他曾两次被授予“战斗英雄”称号。 【38题详解】 原文介绍袁隆平时指出：“He is the first person in the world to develop a hybrid rice strain (杂交水稻品种).” 说明他被称为“杂交水稻之父”是因为他是世界上第一个培育出杂交水稻品种的人。 B “To be or not to be, that is the question.” You may know this line comes from Hamlet, but you might not know it was written by William Shakespeare, one of the greatest English writers in history. Shakespeare was born in 1564 in England. His family once lived a comfortable life, but later his father’s business failed. He had to leave school and make a living on his own. He moved to London and worked as a playwright for nearly 30 years. During this time, he created many world-famous works, including the four great comedies (喜剧) and four great tragedies (悲剧). Hamlet is among the four great tragedies. Shakespeare has a great influence on the English language. First, he created more than 300 new words and many useful classic expressions. People still use them today. Second, his works talked about common ideas like love, hate and human troubles. That’s why they are translated into many languages. ▲ Before him, traditional plays only told simple moral (道德的) stories, but his works showed people’s true feelings. His new forms of drama set good examples to later playwrights. William Shakespeare passed away at the age of 52. Surprisingly, the date of his death, 23rd April, was also his birthday. However, what caused his death still remains a mystery today. Each year around the 23rd April, the streets of Stratford-upon-Avon are always filled with music, songs and performers to honour the memory of William Shakespeare. 39. When did William Shakespeare die? A. In 1564. B. In 1594. C. In 1616. D. In 1654. 40. Which sentence can be put in the “ ▲ ”? A. Third, he changed Western plays a lot. B. Besides, he once taught people how to perform. C. Third, he preferred traditional plays to modern plays. D. Besides, he wrote many great plays for London theatres. 41. What can we learn from the passage? A. Shakespeare lived a comfortable life all the time. B. Shakespeare’s classic expressions are still popular now. C. People remember Shakespeare’s life every May. D. People have found out the cause of Shakespeare’s death. 42. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Career—Shakespeare’s Road of Creation B. Shakespeare—A Bright Star in Literature C. A Hard Time—Shakespeare’s Childhood D. An Unknown Mystery—Shakespeare’s Death 【答案】39. C 40. A 41. B 42. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国伟大作家威廉·莎士比亚的生平、文学成就、对英语语言和戏剧的影响，以及他去世的相关信息。 【39题详解】 根据第四段第一句“William Shakespeare passed away at the age of 52.”和第二段第一句“Shakespeare was born in 1564 in England.”可知，莎士比亚生于1564年，享年52岁，因此去世年份为1564+52=1616年。 【40题详解】 根据第三段内容，前两点分别讲他创造新词和作品主题普遍，而空后提到“Before him, traditional plays only told simple moral stories, but his works showed people’s true feelings. His new forms of drama set good examples to later playwrights.”，说明此处应介绍他对戏剧形式的革新，A项“Third, he changed Western plays a lot.”（第三，他极大地改变了西方戏剧）符合上下文逻辑。 【41题详解】 根据第三段第二句“he created more than 300 new words and many useful classic expressions. People still use them today.”可知，莎士比亚创造的经典表达至今仍在使用，B项正确。A项与第二段“his father’s business failed. He had to leave school and make a living on his own.”不符；C项与第四段“Each year around the 23rd April”而非“May”不符；D项与第四段“what caused his death still remains a mystery today”不符。故选B。 【42题详解】 全文围绕莎士比亚的生平、作品、影响及纪念展开，突出其在文学史上的重要地位，B项“Shakespeare—A Bright Star in Literature”（莎士比亚——文学界的一颗明星）最能概括全文主旨。 C Thanks to technology, the way we communicate with others has greatly changed. How do you feel about it? Would you prefer to live in a world with or without mobile phones? I ordered some snacks on my phone the other afternoon. Once I got home from work that evening, I saw they were already at my door. So prompt! Have you ever thought about how people in the past communicated and did things without mobile phones? Take the post for example (拿邮递举个例子). Before phones, if you wanted to keep in touch with someone far away, you needed to send them a letter in the mail. When my mum was in primary school, she used to do this with her “pen pal”. A pen pal is a name for a person you keep in touch with mainly through postal mail. My mum would write to her pen pal every few months, and then, after a little while, her pen pal would write back. Later, once email became a common thing, sending letters by post felt so slow to people. It became known as “snail mail”! What if you were at an airport in the time before mobile phones? My dad said that in the 1970s, there used to be message boards at some airports. If you needed to exit (离开) the airport and wanted to leave a message for a friend who would be arriving later, you could write them a message and stick it on the message board. Then, your friend could check the board later and see what you wrote to them! 43. What does the underlined word “prompt” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Wise. B. Polite. C. Quick. D. Helpful. 44. How did the writer’s mum keep in touch with her pen pal? A. By talking on phones. B. By mailing letters. C. By visiting every few months. D. By writing diaries. 45. Where could people leave messages at some airports in the 1970s? A. On the message boards. B. At the information desk. C. On the door of the exit. D. On the boarding gate of the plane. 46. What is the story mainly about? A. How fast it is to buy things nowadays. B. How people kept in touch before. C. The importance of communication. D. Ways of making friends in the past. 【答案】43. C 44. B 45. A 46. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在手机出现之前人们如何保持联系和传递信息，包括写信、“笔友”和机场留言板等方式，说明科技改变了人们的沟通方式。 【43题详解】 第二段提到作者在手机上订零食，下班回家后看到零食已经送到门口，并感叹“So prompt!”，结合语境可知，这里表示“很快、很及时”，因此prompt意为“Quick”。 【44题详解】 第二段提到作者的母亲在小学时通过写信与“pen pal”保持联系：“My mum would write to her pen pal every few months, and then, after a little while, her pen pal would write back.” 这说明她是通过邮寄信件保持联系的。 【45题详解】 第三段提到20世纪70年代一些机场有留言板：“there used to be message boards at some airports”，人们可以把留言贴在留言板上，因此人们可以在留言板上留下信息。 【46题详解】 文章主要围绕“在手机出现之前，人们如何保持联系”展开，介绍了写信、笔友以及机场留言板等内容，因此主旨是“How people kept in touch before”。 D When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill (半山腰). Even though they worked so hard, the production of fruit was still low because it was short of water there. One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about our difficulties, and later, a canal project (灌溉工程) began to be built in my village. “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” Grandma replied. Then, I moved to a city for my middle school. During one summer holiday, I came back to my hometown with my parents. When we arrived there, we were surprised because everything changed. We saw the canal run through every orchard. And my grandma told us that after the canal project was completed, villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill to carry water anymore. And more and more people started planting fruit and the production increased a lot. Thanks to the government’s canal project, our village has developed much better. Nowadays, people work hard to live in big cities. However, we should not forget our hometown. That is where we are from. 47. How did people in the village make money when the writer was young? A. By planting vegetables. B. By feeding animals. C. By planting fruit trees. D. By building canals. 48. What was the difficulty of the villagers? A. They didn’t have money to buy water. B.

His village has hardly changed. B. There are many good men in the village. C. Many people come to big cities now. D. Our hometown means a lot to us. 【答案】47. C 48. B 49. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者家乡因政府修建灌溉工程而发生变化的故事。作者小时候村里人靠种果树为生，但缺水导致产量低；后来政府派人修建水渠，改善了灌溉条件，家乡因此发展得更好。作者借此表达了对家乡的深厚感情，提醒人们不要忘记自己的家乡。 【47题详解】 第一段指出：“When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees.”，这说明作者小时候村里人是靠种果树谋生的。 【48题详解】 第一段提到：“the production of fruit was still low because it was short of water there.”，这说明村民面临的困难是果园里缺水。 【49题详解】 第四段提到：“However, we should not forget our hometown. That is where we are from.”，这说明作者真正想表达的是家乡对我们意义重大。 E An AI That Reads Ancient Books Thousands of years ago, Chinese people wrote on animal bones, bronzes (青铜器) and bamboo slips (竹简). Now these ancient texts have a “new container” in the modern age. A research team from Nanjing Agricultural University has rolled out Xunzi, a large language model that can read ancient Chinese texts. It was named after Xunzi, a famous thinker in ancient China. Wang Dongbo, the leader of the research team, said that traditional Chinese characters (繁体字), vertical layout (竖版) and the absence of punctuation (句读) are all obstacles that readers have to overcome when they read traditional texts. Since 2013, the team has worked to digitize (数字化) Chinese classics like the Siku Quanshu (《四库全书》). They have built a large corpus (语料库) of two billion Chinese characters. Now Xunzi can translate, punctuate and understand scraps (片段) of ancient texts. It can even find specific information, such as names and places. For example, if users type “shangu”, they will know it means “valley” (山谷). With this AI, more Chinese people, including students, can read ancient books more easily. 50. What is “Xunzi” in the passage? A. A famous ancient thinker. B. A large language model. C. A kind of ancient book. D. A university in Nanjing. 51. Why do people find it hard to read traditional texts? A. Because they are too short. B. Because they are written in English. C. Because of obstacles like vertical layout and no punctuation. D. Because they are all about science. 52. What does the underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. 乐趣 B. 障碍 C. 习惯 D. 机会 【答案】50. B 51. C 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一款名为“荀子”的大型语言模型，它可以阅读、翻译、断句和理解古代中文文本，帮助更多人更容易地阅读古书。 【50题详解】 第二段提到：“A research team from Nanjing Agricultural University has rolled out Xunzi, a large language model that can read ancient Chinese texts.” 这说明“Xunzi”在文中指的是一款大型语言模型。 【51题详解】 第三段指出：“traditional Chinese characters, vertical layout and the absence of punctuation are all obstacles that readers have to overcome when they read traditional texts.” 这说明人们觉得传统文本难读，是因为繁体字、竖版排版和没有句读等障碍。 【52题详解】 第三段提到：“traditional Chinese characters, vertical layout and the absence of punctuation are all obstacles that readers have to overcome...” 结合上下文可知，“obstacles”表示读者阅读传统文本时必须克服的困难，因此意思是“障碍”。 F 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，根据字数要求回答下列问题。 On 19 April 2025, the world’s first half-marathon (半程马拉松) for humanoid (人形的) robots was held in Beijing. The robots waited beside human runners, starting from the same line. “I saw many robots running. Some were surprisingly fast, others had very lovely designs, and their running styles were quite different,” said Zhang Huihui, who took part in the race. During the race, the robots had to run on two legs. Some even wore running shoes. Each robot was supported by a team of human guides, operators (操作员) and engineers. They could have their batteries changed during the race. Teams could even use new robots when the old ones could no longer run. There were 20 teams in the race and six of them made it to the end. Tiangong Ultra won first place in about two hours and 40 minutes. “It crossed the finish line about 30 minutes earlier than expected,” said Xiong Youjun, CEO of a robot centre. “Robots’ completing the race isn’t the finish line. It’s the starting point for the growth of the robot industry,” said Liang Liang, from Yizhuang’s Administrative Committee. Although the robots fell from time to time, the event proved that they could do real-life tasks. Liang added, “Their small steps today will become giant leaps (巨大的飞跃) in human technological progress tomorrow.” 53. Where was the world’s first half-marathon for humanoid robots held?

(不超过10个词) ________________________ 【答案】53. In Beijing. 54. A team of human guides, operators and engineers. 55. The robots could do real-life tasks. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍2025年4月19日，世界首届人形机器人半程马拉松在北京举办的相关情况以及这场赛事的意义。 【53题详解】 第一段“On 19 April 2025, the world’s first half-marathon (半程马拉松) for humanoid (人形的) robots was held in Beijing.”直接交代赛事举办地点，因此答案是原文直接信息。 【54题详解】 第三段说明了支撑机器人完成比赛的人员“Each robot was supported by a team of human guides, operators (操作员) and engineers.”这是原文中的具体信息，直接提取。 【55题详解】 第五段点明这场机器人半程马拉松赛事证明的内容“Although the robots fell from time to time, the event proved that they could do real-life tasks.”，机器人可以完成现实生活中的任务，答案几乎是原文引述。 第四部分 写(共两大题，满分25分) Ⅷ. 单词拼写(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。 56. Our hometown has changed g________ (巨大地) in the past ten years. 【答案】greatly##reatly 【解析】 【详解】句意：在过去十年里，我们的家乡发生了巨大的变化。根据首字母g以及括号内汉语提示“巨大地”，此处修饰动词changed，要用副词，对应的英文单词为greatly，应填greatly。 57.

They are national heroes. Now let’s learn about three of them. Yu Min, 1926-2019 Nuclear (核武器) physicist On 17 June, 1967, China set off its first hydrogen bomb (氢弹) . It took only 32months to go from its first atom bomb (原子弹) to its first hydrogen bomb. As a nuclear physicist, Yu Min played an important role in this process. The theories and models he created were key to the successful test. Zhang Fuqing, 1924-2022 War veteran (老兵) Zhang was a soldier in the People’s Liberation Army (人民解放军) during the Liberation War. He was twice awarded (被授予) the title of Combat (战斗) Hero. In 1955, he volunteered to work in a remote (偏远的) county (县) in Hubei Province and has been helping poor people there ever since. Yuan Longping, 1930-2021 “Father of Hybrid Rice” Yuan Longping devotes himself to agricultural education and research. He is the first person in the world to develop a hybrid rice strain (杂交水稻品种). His research on higher rice yields (产量) helps fight hunger in China and other parts of the world. 36. Who is Yu Min? A. A medical scientist. B. “Father of Hybrid Rice”. C. A war veteran. D. A nuclear physicist. 37. About Zhang Fuqing, which of the following is TRUE? A. He is still a soldier in the People’s Liberation Army now. B. He was sent to work in a remote county in 1954. C. He was awarded the title of Combat Hero twice. D. He is always ready to help the poor children. 38. Why is Yuan Longping known as “Father of Hybrid Rice”? A. Because he is the father of hybrid rice. B. Because he discovered the hybrid rice. C. Because he bought the hybrid rice. D. Because he developed a hybrid rice strain first. B “To be or not to be, that is the question.” You may know this line comes from Hamlet, but you might not know it was written by William Shakespeare, one of the greatest English writers in history. Shakespeare was born in 1564 in England. His family once lived a comfortable life, but later his father’s business failed. He had to leave school and make a living on his own. He moved to London and worked as a playwright for nearly 30 years. During this time, he created many world-famous works, including the four great comedies (喜剧) and four great tragedies (悲剧). Hamlet is among the four great tragedies. Shakespeare has a great influence on the English language. First, he created more than 300 new words and many useful classic expressions. People still use them today. Second, his works talked about common ideas like love, hate and human troubles. That’s why they are translated into many languages. ▲ Before him, traditional plays only told simple moral (道德的) stories, but his works showed people’s true feelings. His new forms of drama set good examples to later playwrights. William Shakespeare passed away at the age of 52. Surprisingly, the date of his death, 23rd April, was also his birthday. However, what caused his death still remains a mystery today. Each year around the 23rd April, the streets of Stratford-upon-Avon are always filled with music, songs and performers to honour the memory of William Shakespeare. 39. When did William Shakespeare die? A. In 1564. B. In 1594. C. In 1616. D. In 1654. 40. Which sentence can be put in the “ ▲ ”? A. Third, he changed Western plays a lot. B. Besides, he once taught people how to perform. C. Third, he preferred traditional plays to modern plays. D. Besides, he wrote many great plays for London theatres. 41. What can we learn from the passage? A. Shakespeare lived a comfortable life all the time. B. Shakespeare’s classic expressions are still popular now. C. People remember Shakespeare’s life every May. D. People have found out the cause of Shakespeare’s death. 42. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Career—Shakespeare’s Road of Creation B. Shakespeare—A Bright Star in Literature C. A Hard Time—Shakespeare’s Childhood D. An Unknown Mystery—Shakespeare’s Death C Thanks to technology, the way we communicate with others has greatly changed. How do you feel about it? Would you prefer to live in a world with or without mobile phones? I ordered some snacks on my phone the other afternoon. Once I got home from work that evening, I saw they were already at my door. So prompt! Have you ever thought about how people in the past communicated and did things without mobile phones? Take the post for example (拿邮递举个例子). Before phones, if you wanted to keep in touch with someone far away, you needed to send them a letter in the mail. When my mum was in primary school, she used to do this with her “pen pal”. A pen pal is a name for a person you keep in touch with mainly through postal mail. My mum would write to her pen pal every few months, and then, after a little while, her pen pal would write back. Later, once email became a common thing, sending letters by post felt so slow to people. It became known as “snail mail”! What if you were at an airport in the time before mobile phones? My dad said that in the 1970s, there used to be message boards at some airports. If you needed to exit (离开) the airport and wanted to leave a message for a friend who would be arriving later, you could write them a message and stick it on the message board. Then, your friend could check the board later and see what you wrote to them! 43. What does the underlined word “prompt” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Wise. B. Polite. C. Quick. D. Helpful. 44. How did the writer’s mum keep in touch with her pen pal? A. By talking on phones. B. By mailing letters. C. By visiting every few months. D. By writing diaries. 45. Where could people leave messages at some airports in the 1970s? A. On the message boards. B. At the information desk. C. On the door of the exit. D. On the boarding gate of the plane. 46. What is the story mainly about? A. How fast it is to buy things nowadays. B. How people kept in touch before. C. The importance of communication. D. Ways of making friends in the past. D When I was very young, people in our village lived by planting fruit trees. My grandmother always took me to the orchard (果园) on the hill. At that time, they had to carry water from the river at the foot of the hill to halfway up the hill (半山腰). Even though they worked so hard, the production of fruit was still low because it was short of water there. One day, two young men led a group of workers to our village. They learned about our difficulties, and later, a canal project (灌溉工程) began to be built in my village. “Who are they?” I asked. “They are good men from our government,” Grandma replied. Then, I moved to a city for my middle school. During one summer holiday, I came back to my hometown with my parents. When we arrived there, we were surprised because everything changed. We saw the canal run through every orchard. And my grandma told us that after the canal project was completed, villagers didn’t have to go up and down the hill to carry water anymore. And more and more people started planting fruit and the production increased a lot. Thanks to the government’s canal project, our village has developed much better. Nowadays, people work hard to live in big cities. However, we should not forget our hometown. That is where we are from. 47. How did people in the village make money when the writer was young? A. By planting vegetables. B. By feeding animals. C. By planting fruit trees. D. By building canals. 48. What was the difficulty of the villagers? A. They didn’t have money to buy water. B. There wasn’t enough water in the orchard. C. They didn’t have machines to plant fruit. D. They couldn’t go to work in the big city. 49. What message does the writer really want to express? A. His village has hardly changed. B. There are many good men in the village. C. Many people come to big cities now. D. Our hometown means a lot to us. E An AI That Reads Ancient Books Thousands of years ago, Chinese people wrote on animal bones, bronzes (青铜器) and bamboo slips (竹简). Now these ancient texts have a “new container” in the modern age. A research team from Nanjing Agricultural University has rolled out Xunzi, a large language model that can read ancient Chinese texts. It was named after Xunzi, a famous thinker in ancient China. Wang Dongbo, the leader of the research team, said that traditional Chinese characters (繁体字), vertical layout (竖版) and the absence of punctuation (句读) are all obstacles that readers have to overcome when they read traditional texts. Since 2013, the team has worked to digitize (数字化) Chinese classics like the Siku Quanshu (《四库全书》). They have built a large corpus (语料库) of two billion Chinese characters. Now Xunzi can translate, punctuate and understand scraps (片段) of ancient texts. It can even find specific information, such as names and places. For example, if users type “shangu”, they will know it means “valley” (山谷). With this AI, more Chinese people, including students, can read ancient books more easily. 50. What is “Xunzi” in the passage? A. A famous ancient thinker. B. A large language model. C. A kind of ancient book. D. A university in Nanjing. 51.
