Yang was born in 1922 in Hefei,Anhui Province,at a time when China was poor.He studied at Tsinghua University and later went to the United States to further his education.Yang became famous for his work on parity laws(宇称定律)with Tsung-Dao Lee.Their work challenged an old idea in physics and won them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957.He also worked with Robert Mills on the Yang-Mills theory,which helped set up the Standard Model of Particle Physics(粒子物理标准模型).This is considered one of the cornerstones of modern phy sics. Yang settled down in China and taught at Tsinghua University in 2003,helping students become outstanding scientists.His students described him as energetic,modest and calm,with a clear mind.Even in his 80s,Yang continued teaching.He encouraged students to do top-level research and use science to solve real problems in China. Yang's contributions went beyond research.At age 99,he donated more than 2,000 books, letters,and papers to Tsinghua.He said,"I hope Tsinghua keeps not only my scientific work,but also the truth about who I am." Netizens left plenty of heartfelt messages online to express their feelings about the great scientist.One netizen wrote,"He is a towering giant in the field of physics,proving to the whole world that Chinese scientists can reach great heights."Another pointed out,"Through his lifelong scientific career,Yang built a valuable bridge connecting Chinese and Western science study." 1.What does the underlined word "cornerstones"in paragraph 2 mean?

Doctor Bangs looked at Beth and held her hot hand;随后Jo冒雪出门给妈妈发电报告知情况， 对应c.Jo went out to send Mother a short telegram;到了夜里医生告知大家Beth的病情在 午夜会出现重大转折，对应e.The girls were told to expect a change in Beth's illness。最终 顺序为a-b-d-c-e,对应选项C。 4.推理判断题。文中第二段提到“Mr Laurence locked his piano because nobody came to play it'”,结合前文Laurence一家和四姐妹交好的设定，可以推断出之前女孩们常常为 Laurence:先生弹奏钢琴，在Beth病重后就没人再来弹琴了，完全符合文本逻辑。D选项 "The girls used to play the piano for Mr Laurence.”符合。 Passage 6 It's the way the world has always been.One generation (follows the next,and each has its own ideas about how it wants to shape its own life.Some of the wishes and dreams, worries and fears of today's young people are similar to those of their elders.Still,some are quite different from their parents'and grandparents'.

Learning to wait is difficult,especially for teenagers who are used to getting what they want quickly.But practicing patience can bring surprising benefits.Students who are patient usually perform better on exams because they take their time and avoid careless mistakes.People who are patient in relationships have stronger relationships because they listen more and react less.Even physical health can improve-studies show that impatient people have higher blood pressure and get stress-related illnesses more easily. Patience is especially important when learning new skills.Mastering a musical instrument, a new language,or a sport needs months or even years of practice.Without patience,many people would give up before they see results.The great violinist Itzhak Perlman once said,"If you want to build a violin,you don't start with the strings-you start with the wood."This reminds us that good things take time and that we need to trust the process. One way to develop patience is to practice mindfulness.When we focus on what is happening now instead of worrying about the future or regretting the past,we naturally slow down and become more patient.Simple activities like breathing exercises or meditation can help train our minds to be more patient Patience is not about doing nothing or being passive.It's about recognizing that some things take time and being willing to wait for them.It's about believing in the process,even when we can't see the end result.In a world that values speed,patience is a rare and precious quality. Those who master it will find that it enriches every area of their lives. 1.What does the passage suggest about patience in modern society? A.It is becoming more common. B.It is no longer a valuable skill. C.It is only important for older people. D.It is disappearing as people want results at once. 2.What does the underlined word "mindfulness"in Paragraph 4 probably mean? 18/23 乐思茧语 考前特叫一 A.Paying attention to the present. B.Doing things as quickly as possible. C.Worrying about what will happen in the future. D.Remembering past experiences to learn from them. 3.What is Itzhak Perlman trying to tell us by saying "If you want to build a violin, you don't start with the strings -you start with the wood."? A.People should not start a task until they are fully prepared. B.We should choose the right materials before starting a task. C.Real progress comes from patience and trusting the process.

Passage 6 It's the way the world has always been.One generation (A)follows the next,and each has its own ideas about how it wants to shape its own life.Some of the wishes and dreams, worries and fears of today's young people are similar to those of their elders.Still,some are quite different from their parents'and grandparents'. What would young people like to say to their elders?Here are some answers from some young people around the world. ①I am thankful..

Passage 7 In our modern world,patience seems to be disappearing.We want everything instantly( )-instant coffee,instant noodles,instant information.We get annoyed when a website takes more than two seconds to load or when we have to wait in line for more than five minutes.But patience is actually a valuable skill that can improve many parts of our lives. Learning to wait is difficult,especially for teenagers who are used to getting what they want quickly.But practicing patience can bring surprising benefits.Students who are patient usually perform better on exams because they take their time and avoid careless mistakes.People who are patient in relationships have stronger relationships because they listen more and react less.Even physical health can improve-studies show that impatient people have higher blood pressure and get stress-related illnesses more easily. Patience is especially important when learning new skills.Mastering a musical instrument, a new language,or a sport needs months or even years of practice.Without patience,many people would give up before they see results.The great violinist Itzhak Perlman once said,"If you want to build a violin,you don't start with the strings-you start with the wood."This reminds us that good things take time and that we need to trust the process. One way to develop patience is to practice mindfulness.When we focus on what is happening now instead of worrying about the future or regretting the past,we naturally slow down and become more patient.Simple activities like breathing exercises or meditation can help train our minds to be more patient. Patience is not about doing nothing or being passive.It's about recognizing that some things take time and being willing to wait for them.It's about believing in the process,even when we can't see the end result.In a world that values speed,patience is a rare and precious quality. Those who master it will find that it enriches every area of their lives. 1.What does the passage suggest about patience in modern society? A.It is becoming more common. B.It is no longer a valuable skill. 13/16 乐思茧语 考前特叫一 C.It is only important for older people. D.It is disappearing as people want results at once. 2.What does the underlined word "mindfulness"in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Paying attention to the present. B.Doing things as quickly as possible. C.Worrying about what will happen in the future. D.Remembering past experiences to learn from them. 3.What is Itzhak Perlman trying to tell us by saying "If you want to build a violin, you don't start with the strings一you start with the wood.”? A.People should not start a task until they are fully prepared. B.We should choose the right materials before starting a task. C.Real progress comes from patience and trusting the process. D.Great achievements depend more on talent than on practice. 4.What is the main idea of the passage? A.Only students and athletes need to develop patience. B.People should avoid modern technology to live a better life. C.Modern technology is the main reason why people are impatient. D.Patience is a valuable skill that can be developed through practice.
