Many great scientists in history have changed the world with their wisdom and hard work. Let’s explore the stories of these three famous minds.
Charles Darwin (1809-1882)
Biologist
Introduction: During his journey around the world, he studied different animals and plants in nature. He discovered that they were not always the same—they changed slowly over a long time to adapt (适应)to the natural environment. He called this idea the “theory of evolution (进化论)”. This discovery helped mankind understand how life on Earth grows and develops.
Hou Debang (1890-1974)
Chemist
Introduction: After studying chemistry abroad (在国外), he returned to China and tried his best to develop the country’s chemical industry. To help the nation produce its own soda ash (碳酸钠), he carried out many experiments and stuck to his scientific research for many years. His hard work finally led to a new production method, which ended foreign countries’ control over the market.
Deng Jiaxian (1924-1986)
Physicist
Introduction: As a pioneer of China’s nuclear (原子核的) science, he led his team to develop the nation’s first atomic and hydrogen bombs (原子弹和氢弹) starting from zero.

Babusha means “eight steps to sand” in Chinese. Located in Gulang County, Gansu Province, it once suffered from terrible sandstorms. These storms buried farmland and often left nothing to harvest.
Today, after three generations’ efforts, the vegetation coverage rate (植被覆盖率) has increased to 70 percent, up from less than 3 percent in the 1980s.
The war began in 1981 with “six old men”, including Guo Chaoming. When poor health forced him to stop planting trees, he hoped his son Guo Wangang would follow in his footsteps. But Guo initially didn’t want to give up his job.
However, a terrible sandstorm in 1993 changed his mind forever. A fast-moving brown wall of sand turned day into night, and 18 students were found dead in a river as they tried to get home from school during the sandstorm. “If we couldn’t protect our farmland or our children, how were we supposed to keep going?” Guo recalled. That was the moment he decided to join the fight.
Year after year, Guo and his workmates have continued to plant trees each spring and fall. Thanks to their efforts, a green belt of 8km by 10km has been built, stopping the desert from moving further south.
Now, the third generation has joined the fight. Guo Xi, the grandson of Guo Chaoming, is making Babusha known to younger generations through social media. “Babusha was a desert. Now it’s green. I hope more people know about it,” he said.
11. What main difficulties did the local people face in the past?
①Sandy weather. ②Loss of farmland. ③Poor transportation.
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①③
12. What does the underlined word “initially” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. at last. B. at first. C. at least.
13. What made Guo Wangang decide to fight the desert?
A. A school accident. B. A heavy sandstorm. C. His father’s poor health.
14. Why does the writer mention Guo Xi?
A. To encourage others to fight the desert.
B. To explain the influence of modern technology.
C. To stress the long-term effort of the desert fighters.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To tell a story of fighting against desertification (沙漠化).
B. To explain how sandstorms are formed.
C. To attract more people to Babusha.
【答案】11. A 12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】

Celebrating the Qinghai-Xizang Railway
Happy 20th anniversary to the Qinghai-Xizang Railway! Located on the “roof of the world”, this 1,956-kilometer railway has greatly changed transportation in China.
Travel used to be difficult. In the 1950s, camels took three to four months to carry goods from Qinghai to Lhasa. Now, trains can do it in just 48 hours. The railway has also helped business. Near Xining Railway Station, a market for caterpillar fungus (冬虫夏草) has developed. In the past, business people had to drive for days to Xizang to collect herbs. Now, packages can reach many parts of China the next day.
Lhasa West Station has changed too. It used to be open land with dirt roads. Now, it is a modern transport center with 11 lines carrying cars, home appliances, vegetables, and fruits. Local products, like apples, are even sold to Nepal by rail.
To protect the environment, many parts of the railway are built on bridges so wild animals can pass safely. As a result, the number of Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) in Xizang has grown from about 70,000 in the 1990s to over 300,000 today. “You can often see them running alongside the railway,” said Hao Baojun, who has worked on the line for 40 years.
But changes do not stop there. Earlier this year, China started a new power project. Once finished, more trains will run on electricity instead of diesel (柴油), making the railway greener.
16. How does the writer show changes in transportation in Paragraph 2?
A. By telling stories. B. By giving reasons. C. By making a comparison.
17. What do the examples in Paragraph 3 show?
A. The railway makes traveling easier for tourists.
B. The railway has brought great development to local business.
C. More large markets have been built around stations.
18. Why does the writer quote Hao Baojun’s words?
A. To show wildlife protection along the railway is successful.
B. To introduce a special animal in Xizang.
C. To call on people to protect Tibetan antelopes.
19. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. New kinds of trains will be invented for the line.
B. The power project will be finished next year.
C. The railway will be more environmentally friendly.
20. Where does the passage probably come from?
A. A story book. B. A science magazine. C. A news report.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要为纪念青藏铁路通车20周年的文章,介绍了青藏铁路大幅改善区域交通、带动当地商贸发展,同时在建设中兼顾野生动物保护,后续还将通过电力改造进一步提升线路的环保性。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the 1950s, camels took three to four months... Now, trains can do it in just 48 hours.”可知,作者通过列举过去骆驼运输与现在火车运输的时间数据形成对比,展示交通方式的变革。
【17题详解】

【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“As a result, the number of Tibetan antelopes…has grown…‘You can often see them running alongside the railway,’ said Hao Baojun”可知,引用工作人员的话是为了佐证野生动物数量增长,表明生态保护成效显著。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Once finished, more trains will run on electricity instead of diesel, making the railway greener.”可知,使用电力替代柴油将使铁路更加环保。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文围绕青藏铁路通车20周年的各项发展与建设成果展开,属于纪实性的正面报道内容,最有可能出自新闻报道。

The key to learning faster is not just studying harder but studying smarter. ____21____ By using these methods in daily routines, you can build habits that will help you for a lifetime.
Set clear, achievable goals
Unclear study goals make it difficult to make progress. Instead of deciding to “study biology”, a more effective goal would be “complete three pages of biology notes and review them carefully.” ____22____
Use mixed practice
Many students focus on one subject at a time. ____23____ For example, moving between algebra (代数) and geometry (几何) rather than focusing only on one topic. This makes your brain work better and helps you remember things longer.
Value quality sleep
Teens often give up sleep to study more, but this does more harm than good. ____24____ Deep sleep allows the brain to process and store new information, making it easier to recall later. Experts suggest 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night for teenagers.
Take part in regular physical activities
Exercise increases blood flow and oxygen (氧气) levels. ____25____ Activities like running or even short walks improve memory. Regular movement also reduces stress, helping teens feel more energetic and ready to learn.
Learning faster isn’t about working harder—it’s about using the right methods. These tips help teens improve memory and make studying more effective.
A. Sleep is important for memory.
B. This helps the brain work better.
C. Studying one subject at a time allows deeper focus.

阅读短文完成思维导图并回答问题,并将答案写在答题卡相应的横线上。(注意:1—4小题每空限填一词,第5小题15词左右)
Many students study by reading their textbooks and notes again and again, but research shows that simple rereading is not the best way to learn. A more effective (有效的) way is called “retrieval practice”—testing yourself by trying to recall (回想) information from memory.
To do retrieval practice, close your book after reading a passage and try to remember the key points. Write down what you recall, then check your notes to see if you are right. If you make mistakes, read the material again and try once more. It takes more effort than rereading, but the effort helps you learn better over time.
Flash cards (闪卡) are a popular tool for retrieval practice. Here are useful tips: Write a keyword or question on one side and the answer on the other. Look at the question and try to recall the answer before flipping (翻转) the card. Do not flip too quickly. If you get the answer wrong, read the correct one and repeat until you succeed.
You can also use voice notes or flash card apps. You can practice anywhere: explain an idea from class to yourself or a friend, then check your textbook.
Testing yourself takes more work, but it makes knowledge stick and helps you improve step by step.
Retrieval practice
Meaning
A learning method of ____26____ yourself by recalling information from memory.
How

* Check your notes and correct your ____27____;
* Read and then try again until you get it all right.
What to use
*Flash cards with questions on one side and the answer on the other.
-Try to recall the answer;
-Flip the card to check but don’t flip too quickly.
-____28____ the steps until you succeed.
* Voice notes & flash card apps.
____29____
*You can practice it anywhere
*It makes knowledge stick longer in your memory.

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述父亲教导作者要善良,通过帮助爆胎老夫妇且拒收报酬的故事,传达了善意需要不断传递下去的主题。
【31题详解】
句意:只要有机会,我们就会停下来帮助别人。
have the chance表示“拥有机会”,符合文中遇到路人有困难就伸出援手的语境;reason“理由”,method“方法”,代入句意不通,所以选chance,表示“机会”。
【32题详解】
句意:他们车的一个轮胎坏了。
后文更换轮胎的情节,说明轮胎出现故障,broken表示“损坏的”符合语境;stolen“被偷的”,lost“丢失的”,与换轮胎的情节不匹配,所以选broken。
【33题详解】
句意:换完轮胎之后,老人掏出钱包,说:“请让我为你们付出的时间和辛劳付一些钱吧。”
pulled out表示“掏出”,描写老人拿出钱包的动作;took away“拿走”,put down“放下”,不符合语境,所以选pulled out。
【34题详解】
句意:爸爸快速抬手拒绝这笔钱。
后文父亲让老人把钱留下,说明没有接受报酬,refuse表示“拒绝”符合语境;count“数”,spend“花费”,不符合文意,所以选refuse
【35题详解】
句意:老人和他的妻子热情地感谢了我们。
warmly表示“热情地”,用来修饰感谢这个动作;proudly“自豪地”,bravely“勇敢地”,语义不符合场景,所以选warmly。
【36题详解】
句意:我们回到车里,继续开车前行。
前文是开车途中停车帮忙,修好轮胎后继续驾车赶路,driving表示“驾驶”符合语境;talking“交谈”,helping“帮助”,不符合上下文,所以选driving。
【37题详解】
句意:当有人主动给你钱的时候,你不应该收下。
offered表示“主动提供”,指老人主动拿出钱作为酬谢;found“发现”,raised“举起”,不符合语境,所以选offered。
【38题详解】
句意:他们做完事情拿到报酬是很正常的。
normal表示“正常的”,这句话表达收取酬劳本身合乎常理;lucky“幸运的”,simple“简单的”,不符合句意,所以选normal。
【39题详解】
句意:每当我得到别人帮助时,我总想付钱,但是从来没有人收下。
but表示“但是”,连接前后转折关系,“我”想付钱,可对方不收;and“并且”,so“所以”,逻辑不符,所以选but。
【40题详解】
句意:善意真正地传递下去,因为我们选择继续保持这份善意。
整篇文章围绕乐于助人、传递善意的主题,Kindness表示“善意”符合主题;Politeness“礼貌”,Richness“富有”,偏离文章中心,所以选Kindness。
第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)

45.
In conclusion
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了支付方式的五大突破及其带来的便利,并总结了支付工具变化背后的不变理念。
【41题详解】
句意:支付方式有五次重大突破:物物交换、硬币、纸币、信用卡以及数字支付。空格前面and连接并列的支付方式名词,需要名词短语,digital payments表示“数字支付”,是一类支付形式,和前面barter, coins等并列,其余词块不符合名词属性。
【42题详解】
句意:每一种支付方式都带来许多好处。本句有has,是现在完成时,结构has + 动词过去分词;bring about“带来”,bring的过去分词是brought,brought about表示“带来”,符合“支付方式带来好处”的语义。
【43题详解】
句意:例如,硬币和纸币更便于携带和储存,而支付宝这类现代支付方式让人们轻松付款 —— 只需要一部手机。with ease是固定搭配,意为“轻易地、轻松地”,用来修饰动词pay,表示“轻松付款”,其余词块无法修饰动词。
【44题详解】
句意:人们对这些便利的变化感到满意。主语people是复数,be happy with意思是“对……满意”,一般现在时,be动词选用are,are happy with表示“人们对这些便捷的变化感到满意”,匹配上下文。
【45题详解】
句意:总之,支付工具随着时间发生了巨大变化,但核心 —— 信任 —— 始终不变。in conclusion是固定短语,意思是总之,放在段落末尾用来总结全文,句首首字母大写,其余词块不能起到总结句的作用。

【导语】本文讲述黄文秀回到家乡百坭村投身扶贫工作,带领村民改善乡村面貌,不幸因公殉职,她的精神一直激励着人们建设家乡。
【46题详解】
句意:我想回去尽自己的一份力量,给我的家乡带来改变与希望。此处用不定式to bring作目的状语,表示回来的目的是带来改变和希望,所以填to bring,表示“带来”。
【47题详解】
句意:那时候,这里只有泥土小路。“there were”后面接可数名词复数,track“小路”的复数形式是tracks。
【48题详解】
句意:他们修建了1.5公里的新路并且安装了47盏路灯。“built”和“put up”是并列的两个谓语动作,用并列连词and连接,所以填and。
【49题详解】
句意:同时,黄文秀带领村民种植冷杉、糖橙这类特色农产品。全文叙述过去发生的事情,时态为一般过去时,lead的过去式是led,表示“带领”。
【50题详解】

【51题详解】
句意:得益于她的付出,村民的生活得到了极大改善。此处需副词修饰动词“improved”,great为形容词,应变为greatly,表示“极大地”,所以填greatly。
【52题详解】
句意:不幸的是,这位人民的好书记没能继续带领村民向前奋斗。此处特指上文提到的黄文秀,用定冠词the,所以填the。
【53题详解】
句意:她很担心村子,于是当晚冒大雨赶回村里。固定搭配be worried about表示“担心……”,worried是形容词,所以填worried。
【54题详解】
句意:在路上,她遭遇洪水,年仅30岁不幸遇难。固定搭配at the age of表示“在……岁时”,所以填at。
【55题详解】
句意:她的精神激励更多人去建设他们的家乡。后面有名词“hometowns”,需要用形容词性物主代词their,表示“他们的”修饰名词,所以填their。

Many great scientists in history have changed the world with their wisdom and hard work. Let’s explore the stories of these three famous minds.
Charles Darwin (1809-1882)
Biologist
Introduction: During his journey around the world, he studied different animals and plants in nature. He discovered that they were not always the same—they changed slowly over a long time to adapt (适应)to the natural environment. He called this idea the “theory of evolution (进化论)”. This discovery helped mankind understand how life on Earth grows and develops.
Hou Debang (1890-1974)
Chemist
Introduction: After studying chemistry abroad (在国外), he returned to China and tried his best to develop the country’s chemical industry. To help the nation produce its own soda ash (碳酸钠), he carried out many experiments and stuck to his scientific research for many years. His hard work finally led to a new production method, which ended foreign countries’ control over the market.
Deng Jiaxian (1924-1986)
Physicist
Introduction: As a pioneer of China’s nuclear (原子核的) science, he led his team to develop the nation’s first atomic and hydrogen bombs (原子弹和氢弹) starting from zero. He braved difficult conditions in the western desert in China for 28 years. Finally, he made historic achievements, adding China to the world’s list of nuclear powers.
6. Which of the following is Darwin’s achievement?

A. It has protected our country.
B. It has made us understand physics better.
C. It has spread scientific knowledge everywhere.
9. What do the three scientists have in common?
A. They all changed people’s daily lives.
B. They all became famous for one discovery.
C. They all made important scientific achievements.
10. Which word can we use to describe the three scientists?
A. Curious. B. Inspiring. C. Brave.
B
Babusha means “eight steps to sand” in Chinese. Located in Gulang County, Gansu Province, it once suffered from terrible sandstorms. These storms buried farmland and often left nothing to harvest.
Today, after three generations’ efforts, the vegetation coverage rate (植被覆盖率) has increased to 70 percent, up from less than 3 percent in the 1980s.
The war began in 1981 with “six old men”, including Guo Chaoming. When poor health forced him to stop planting trees, he hoped his son Guo Wangang would follow in his footsteps. But Guo initially didn’t want to give up his job.
However, a terrible sandstorm in 1993 changed his mind forever. A fast-moving brown wall of sand turned day into night, and 18 students were found dead in a river as they tried to get home from school during the sandstorm. “If we couldn’t protect our farmland or our children, how were we supposed to keep going?” Guo recalled. That was the moment he decided to join the fight.
Year after year, Guo and his workmates have continued to plant trees each spring and fall. Thanks to their efforts, a green belt of 8km by 10km has been built, stopping the desert from moving further south.
Now, the third generation has joined the fight. Guo Xi, the grandson of Guo Chaoming, is making Babusha known to younger generations through social media. “Babusha was a desert. Now it’s green. I hope more people know about it,” he said.
11. What main difficulties did the local people face in the past?
①Sandy weather. ②Loss of farmland. ③Poor transportation.
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①③
12. What does the underlined word “initially” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. at last. B. at first. C. at least.
13. What made Guo Wangang decide to fight the desert?
A. A school accident. B. A heavy sandstorm. C. His father’s poor health.
14. Why does the writer mention Guo Xi?
A. To encourage others to fight the desert.
B. To explain the influence of modern technology.
C. To stress the long-term effort of the desert fighters.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To tell a story of fighting against desertification (沙漠化).
B. To explain how sandstorms are formed.
C. To attract more people to Babusha.
C
Celebrating the Qinghai-Xizang Railway
Happy 20th anniversary to the Qinghai-Xizang Railway! Located on the “roof of the world”, this 1,956-kilometer railway has greatly changed transportation in China.
Travel used to be difficult. In the 1950s, camels took three to four months to carry goods from Qinghai to Lhasa. Now, trains can do it in just 48 hours. The railway has also helped business. Near Xining Railway Station, a market for caterpillar fungus (冬虫夏草) has developed. In the past, business people had to drive for days to Xizang to collect herbs. Now, packages can reach many parts of China the next day.
Lhasa West Station has changed too. It used to be open land with dirt roads. Now, it is a modern transport center with 11 lines carrying cars, home appliances, vegetables, and fruits. Local products, like apples, are even sold to Nepal by rail.
To protect the environment, many parts of the railway are built on bridges so wild animals can pass safely. As a result, the number of Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) in Xizang has grown from about 70,000 in the 1990s to over 300,000 today. “You can often see them running alongside the railway,” said Hao Baojun, who has worked on the line for 40 years.
But changes do not stop there. Earlier this year, China started a new power project. Once finished, more trains will run on electricity instead of diesel (柴油), making the railway greener.
16. How does the writer show changes in transportation in Paragraph 2?
A. By telling stories. B. By giving reasons. C. By making a comparison.
17. What do the examples in Paragraph 3 show?
A. The railway makes traveling easier for tourists.
B. The railway has brought great development to local business.
C. More large markets have been built around stations.
18. Why does the writer quote Hao Baojun’s words?
A. To show wildlife protection along the railway is successful.
B. To introduce a special animal in Xizang.
C. To call on people to protect Tibetan antelopes.
19. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. New kinds of trains will be invented for the line.
B. The power project will be finished next year.
C. The railway will be more environmentally friendly.
20. Where does the passage probably come from?
A. A story book. B. A science magazine. C. A news report.

The key to learning faster is not just studying harder but studying smarter. ____21____ By using these methods in daily routines, you can build habits that will help you for a lifetime.
Set clear, achievable goals
Unclear study goals make it difficult to make progress. Instead of deciding to “study biology”, a more effective goal would be “complete three pages of biology notes and review them carefully.” ____22____
Use mixed practice
Many students focus on one subject at a time. ____23____ For example, moving between algebra (代数) and geometry (几何) rather than focusing only on one topic. This makes your brain work better and helps you remember things longer.
Value quality sleep
Teens often give up sleep to study more, but this does more harm than good. ____24____ Deep sleep allows the brain to process and store new information, making it easier to recall later. Experts suggest 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night for teenagers.
Take part in regular physical activities
Exercise increases blood flow and oxygen (氧气) levels. ____25____ Activities like running or even short walks improve memory. Regular movement also reduces stress, helping teens feel more energetic and ready to learn.
Learning faster isn’t about working harder—it’s about using the right methods. These tips help teens improve memory and make studying more effective.
A. Sleep is important for memory.
B. This helps the brain work better.
C. Studying one subject at a time allows deeper focus.
D. This guide gives some tips to help teens learn faster.
E. Clear, small goals create a sense of achievement that keeps you going.
F. However, research shows changing between connected subjects improves learning.

阅读短文完成思维导图并回答问题,并将答案写在答题卡相应的横线上。(注意:1—4小题每空限填一词,第5小题15词左右)
Many students study by reading their textbooks and notes again and again, but research shows that simple rereading is not the best way to learn. A more effective (有效的) way is called “retrieval practice”—testing yourself by trying to recall (回想) information from memory.
To do retrieval practice, close your book after reading a passage and try to remember the key points. Write down what you recall, then check your notes to see if you are right. If you make mistakes, read the material again and try once more. It takes more effort than rereading, but the effort helps you learn better over time.
Flash cards (闪卡) are a popular tool for retrieval practice. Here are useful tips: Write a keyword or question on one side and the answer on the other. Look at the question and try to recall the answer before flipping (翻转) the card. Do not flip too quickly. If you get the answer wrong, read the correct one and repeat until you succeed.
You can also use voice notes or flash card apps. You can practice anywhere: explain an idea from class to yourself or a friend, then check your textbook.
Testing yourself takes more work, but it makes knowledge stick and helps you improve step by step.
Retrieval practice
Meaning
A learning method of ____26____ yourself by recalling information from memory.
How

What to use

-Try to recall the answer;
-Flip the card to check but don’t flip too quickly.
-____28____ the steps until you succeed.
* Voice notes & flash card apps.
____29____
*You can practice it anywhere
*It makes knowledge stick longer in your memory.
