Mozi: A Thinker Who Put Peace into Action
Mozi, also known as Mo Di, was one of the greatest thinkers in ancient China. He lived more than 2,000 years ago, when states often fought against one another. We don’t know much about Mozi’s early life, but he probably came from an ordinary family. Unlike many famous thinkers of his time, Mozi was also skilled at making things with his hands.
Mozi may have studied Confucian (儒家的) ideas when he was young. However, he gradually developed his own views about society. He saw how wars destroyed homes and made people’s lives difficult. He began to question why rulers started wars that hurt so many people. Mozi believed that people should care for everyone, not just their own family members. He also strongly opposed wars that hurt ordinary people. He wanted states to solve problems without fighting.
Mozi did more than simply talk about his ideas. According to an ancient story, when he learned that the powerful state of Chu was planning to attack the smaller state of Song, he travelled a long distance to stop the war. He met the ruler of Chu and tried to persuade him to give up the plan. Mozi showed how Song could protect itself. During a test, a man from Chu showed different ways to attack Song, but Mozi stopped each one. According to the story, the ruler finally agreed not to attack Song.
Over time, Mozi gained many followers. They learned his ideas, studied practical skills and helped protect weaker states. Together, they became known as the Mohists (墨家学派成员). Although the group later became less influential, Mozi’s ideas were recorded in the book Mozi and have been passed down to later generations.
Mozi’s life was not about seeking wealth or fame. He used both his knowledge and his skills to help others. From a skilled craftsman to a respected thinker, he showed that ideas become truly powerful when people act on them. His message of peace and care for others still has meaning today.
32. What made Mozi different from many other thinkers?
A. He lived in a time of wars.
B. He came from an ordinary family.
C. He was both a thinker and a craftsman.
D. He wasn’t famous in his early life.
33. Which idea about society did Mozi support?
A. Strong states should help weaker states win wars.
B. People should care for others, not just their own families.
C. People should give more care to their family members.
D. Rulers should work to make their states more powerful.
34. What does the word “opposed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Was against. B. Protected. C. Was afraid of. D. Refused.
35. What does the ancient story in Paragraph 3 mainly show?
A. Mozi travelled far to meet the ruler of Chu.
B. Mozi helped Song win the war with Chu.
C. Mozi tried to make weaker states stronger.
D. Mozi used his skills to put his ideas into action.
36. What can we learn about Mozi’s ideas?
A. They were mainly used to teach practical skills.
B. They became less important as time went by.
C. They were passed down and are still important today.
D. They were only popular among his followers.
37. What kind of text is this passage?
A. A report comparing different states.
B. A biography introducing a historical thinker.
C. A story about a war between Chu and Song.
D. A blog discussing ideas about society.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 36. C 37. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了中国古代伟大思想家墨子的生平经历、核心思想主张、践行和平理念的相关事迹，以及其思想的后世影响，展现了墨子将思想付诸行动的特点。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Unlike many famous thinkers of his time, Mozi was also skilled at making things with his hands.”可知，墨子和当时多数思想家的不同之处是他擅长手工制作，兼具思想家和工匠的身份。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第2段“Mozi believed that people should care for everyone, not just their own family members.”可知，墨子支持的社会观点是人们应当关爱他人，而不只是自己的家人。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第2段“He also strongly opposed wars that hurt ordinary people. He wanted states to solve problems without fighting.”可推知，墨子希望各国不用战争解决问题，因此他反对伤害普通百姓的战争，opposed的含义是“反对”，和Was against意思一致。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第3段“Mozi did more than simply talk about his ideas. According to an ancient story, when he learned that the powerful state of Chu was planning to attack the smaller state of Song, he travelled a long distance to stop the war.”以及故事中墨子用防守技能成功阻止战争的内容可推知，这个故事主要体现墨子运用自身技能将自己的思想付诸行动。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第4段“Mozi’s ideas were recorded in the book Mozi and have been passed down to later generations.”和第5段“His message of peace and care for others still has meaning today.”可知，墨子的思想被传承下来，在如今仍然具有重要意义。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文对墨子的生平经历、思想主张、相关事迹以及后世影响的介绍可推知，这篇文章是一篇介绍历史思想家的传记。

During the summer of 2026, workers collected more than 280 hats from areas around the hot springs. Strong winds often blow hats off visitors’ heads.

If this behaviour ____44____, the problem could become more serious.
Many visitors might be ____45____ by the unexpectedly large amount of rubbish found in such a beautiful place. Losing a hat may seem like a small problem to them, but it can cause ____46____ work for park workers. Even a single hat can harm the environment if it falls into a hot spring.

【导语】本文主要讲述了黄石国家公园的工作人员在夏季有一项常规的额外工作，即清理游客遗留或掉落的物品，并呼吁游客保护环境。
【38题详解】
句意：然而，公园工作人员每年夏天都有一项相当不寻常的工作：收集游客留下的东西。
根据“behind”以及固定搭配“leave behind(留下，遗留)”可知，此处指游客留下的物品。hide“躲藏”、put“放置”、throw“扔”都不符合语境。
【39题详解】
句意：当地的一名记者写了一篇关于这些不寻常发现的新闻报道。
根据“wrote a news report”可知，写新闻报道的人是记者。对应职业是journalist“记者”，artist“艺术家”、scientist“科学家”、dentist“牙医”都和写新闻的行为不匹配。
【40题详解】
句意：然而，公园工作人员表示，寻找丢失的物品是他们夏季工作的常规部分。
根据“They had to do it almost every day.”可知，这是他们经常做的常规工作。regular“常规的”符合语义，social“社会的”、personal“个人的”、visible“可见的”不符合
【41题详解】
句意：温泉极其热，甚至熟练的工人也必须遵守严格的安全规则。
根据“even skillful workers must follow strict safety rules”可知，温泉的温度非常高，极其危险。extremely“极其、非常”用来修饰hot，能体现温泉的危险程度，usually“通常”、completely“完全地”、naturally“自然地”不符合此处表意。
【42题详解】
句意：他们不能简单地走进危险区域去捡起丢失的物品并带回来。
根据“lost objects and bring them back”可知，动作是去捡起这些物品。pick up“捡起”符合动作逻辑，learn about“了解”、point at“指向”、carry out“执行”和“捡拾失物”的语境不符。
【43题详解】
句意：然而，公园官员警告说，这样的行为可能会破坏自然环境。
根据前文“Some visitors had thrown coins into the water”可知，指的是游客扔硬币的行为。actions“行为”符合指代，accidents“事故”、requirements“要求”、discoveries“发现”都不符合。
【44题详解】
句意：如果这种行为继续下去，问题可能会变得更严重。
根据“the problem could become more serious”可知，只有不良行为继续发生，问题才会恶化。continues“继续”符合逻辑，improves“改善”、varies“变化”、changes“改变”都和“问题变严重”的推导不匹配。
【45题详解】
句意：许多游客可能会对在如此美丽的地方发现如此大量意想不到的垃圾感到震惊。
根据“unexpectedly large amount of rubbish found in such a beautiful place”可知，美丽的风景和大量垃圾形成反差，让人感到震惊。shocked“震惊的”符合常理，pleased“开心的”、excited“兴奋的”、confused“困惑的”不符合语境。
【46题详解】
句意：丢一顶帽子对他们来说似乎是个小问题，但这会给公园工作人员带来额外的工作。
根据前文工作人员每天都要去捡垃圾，可知这增加了他们原本工作之外的额外负担。extra“额外的”符合文意，easy“简单的”、standard“标准的”、planned“计划好的”都不符合。
【47题详解】
句意：他们建议人们把小物品安全地装进包里，在风大的地方摘下帽子，并带走所有的垃圾。
根据“small items safely in their bags”可知，是把物品装进包里。pack有“收拾、打包”的含义，符合句意，exchange“交换”、deliver“递送”、display“展示”都不符合此处“把物品收好放进包”的表意。
D. Answer the questions(第68至72题，每题2分；第73题6分；共16分)
根据短文内容回答下列问题
What can you do with pizza dough? Most people use it to make pizza, but Francis Tolu can turn it into an exciting performance. He throws, catches and spins the dough high in the air, sometimes even while wearing a blindfold. He has won the Pizza World Championship, a competition for pizza dough performers, four times. But his journey to success was not always easy.
Tolu grew up around his family’s restaurant in Alginet, Spain. Making pizza was part of his everyday life, but he wanted to do something different with it. After taking a course with some Italian performers, he discovered freestyle pizza. He was amazed by the way they moved the dough through the air and decided to learn the skills himself.
At first, things did not go as he had hoped. The dough often fell to the floor, and some moves seemed almost impossible. He also had to help at the restaurant, preparing dough and serving customers. After a long day at work, practising was not always easy. Sometimes he wondered whether he should spend so much time on something that might never bring him success.
But Tolu did not give up. He went back to the basic moves, practising how to throw, catch and spin the dough. Little by little, he learned to control it better. As his skills improved, he began putting different moves together and creating his own style. In 1999, he entered his first competition. Over the years, his practice helped him win several world titles.
Today, Tolu still works at the family restaurant. He often gives short pizza dough performances for customers, bringing smiles and laughter to the restaurant. Some customers even come back to watch him perform.
Winning competitions has brought Tolu success, but it is not the only thing that makes him happy. He enjoys preparing food, trying new ideas and sharing his love for pizza with others. When customers enjoy his performances, he feels that his hard work is worth it. To him, the smiles on his customers’ faces are just as important as the prizes he has won.

Mozi: A Thinker Who Put Peace into Action
Mozi, also known as Mo Di, was one of the greatest thinkers in ancient China. He lived more than 2,000 years ago, when states often fought against one another. We don’t know much about Mozi’s early life, but he probably came from an ordinary family. Unlike many famous thinkers of his time, Mozi was also skilled at making things with his hands.
Mozi may have studied Confucian (儒家的) ideas when he was young. However, he gradually developed his own views about society. He saw how wars destroyed homes and made people’s lives difficult. He began to question why rulers started wars that hurt so many people. Mozi believed that people should care for everyone, not just their own family members. He also strongly opposed wars that hurt ordinary people. He wanted states to solve problems without fighting.
Mozi did more than simply talk about his ideas. According to an ancient story, when he learned that the powerful state of Chu was planning to attack the smaller state of Song, he travelled a long distance to stop the war. He met the ruler of Chu and tried to persuade him to give up the plan. Mozi showed how Song could protect itself. During a test, a man from Chu showed different ways to attack Song, but Mozi stopped each one. According to the story, the ruler finally agreed not to attack Song.
Over time, Mozi gained many followers. They learned his ideas, studied practical skills and helped protect weaker states. Together, they became known as the Mohists (墨家学派成员). Although the group later became less influential, Mozi’s ideas were recorded in the book Mozi and have been passed down to later generations.
Mozi’s life was not about seeking wealth or fame. He used both his knowledge and his skills to help others. From a skilled craftsman to a respected thinker, he showed that ideas become truly powerful when people act on them. His message of peace and care for others still has meaning today.
32. What made Mozi different from many other thinkers?
A. He lived in a time of wars.
B. He came from an ordinary family.
C. He was both a thinker and a craftsman.
D. He wasn’t famous in his early life.
33. Which idea about society did Mozi support?
A. Strong states should help weaker states win wars.
B. People should care for others, not just their own families.
C. People should give more care to their family members.
D. Rulers should work to make their states more powerful.
34. What does the word “opposed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Was against. B. Protected. C. Was afraid of. D. Refused.
35. What does the ancient story in Paragraph 3 mainly show?
A. Mozi travelled far to meet the ruler of Chu.
B. Mozi helped Song win the war with Chu.
C. Mozi tried to make weaker states stronger.
D. Mozi used his skills to put his ideas into action.
36. What can we learn about Mozi’s ideas?
A. They were mainly used to teach practical skills.
B. They became less important as time went by.
C. They were passed down and are still important today.
D. They were only popular among his followers.
37. What kind of text is this passage?
A. A report comparing different states.
B. A biography introducing a historical thinker.
C. A story about a war between Chu and Song.
D. A blog discussing ideas about society.
C. Choose the best answer and complete the passage (每题2分，共20分)

根据短文内容回答下列问题
What can you do with pizza dough? Most people use it to make pizza, but Francis Tolu can turn it into an exciting performance. He throws, catches and spins the dough high in the air, sometimes even while wearing a blindfold. He has won the Pizza World Championship, a competition for pizza dough performers, four times. But his journey to success was not always easy.
Tolu grew up around his family’s restaurant in Alginet, Spain. Making pizza was part of his everyday life, but he wanted to do something different with it. After taking a course with some Italian performers, he discovered freestyle pizza. He was amazed by the way they moved the dough through the air and decided to learn the skills himself.
At first, things did not go as he had hoped. The dough often fell to the floor, and some moves seemed almost impossible. He also had to help at the restaurant, preparing dough and serving customers. After a long day at work, practising was not always easy. Sometimes he wondered whether he should spend so much time on something that might never bring him success.
But Tolu did not give up. He went back to the basic moves, practising how to throw, catch and spin the dough. Little by little, he learned to control it better. As his skills improved, he began putting different moves together and creating his own style. In 1999, he entered his first competition. Over the years, his practice helped him win several world titles.
Today, Tolu still works at the family restaurant. He often gives short pizza dough performances for customers, bringing smiles and laughter to the restaurant. Some customers even come back to watch him perform.
Winning competitions has brought Tolu success, but it is not the only thing that makes him happy. He enjoys preparing food, trying new ideas and sharing his love for pizza with others. When customers enjoy his performances, he feels that his hard work is worth it. To him, the smiles on his customers’ faces are just as important as the prizes he has won.
