A（２０２１年武汉中考）
Think of somebody you really admire. You will probably find that their success didn’t come easily. As “Father of Hybrid Rice(杂交水稻)”, Yuan Longping got over great difficulties and spent his whole life working to reduce world hunger and helping to feed the country with the largest population.
Wu Mengchao, the “Father of Chinese Hepatobiliary Surgery(肝胆外科)”, focused on saving people’s lives for nearly eighty years. He performed more than 16,000 operations during his life. Holding the surgeon’s knife for such a long time deformed his fingers. Wu once said, “It would my greatest happiness if I could work at the operating table until my dying day.”
In 1969, in order to solve the problem of treating malaria(疟疾), Tu Youyou, pharmacologist (药学家) took on the job as head of a research team. She and her teammates performed different kinds of experiments. However, the results were disappointing. Instead of giving up, they kept trying. Finally, in 1972, they made it! In 2015, at the age of 85, she received Nobel Prize.
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb believed that every failure was a step towards success. He once said, “If I find 10,000 ways something won’t work, I haven’t failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong try is another step forward.”
Sometimes, their success was a surprise, even to themselves. The famous scientist Alexander Fleming said, “When I woke up just after daybreak on 28th September, 1928, I certainly didn’t plan to revolutionize(变革) all medicine by discovering the world’s first antibiotic(抗生素). But I guess that was exactly what I did.”
Some people only became successful after their deaths. Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime, the artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2,000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds.
One thing all these people have in common is sticking to their goals no matter what.
26. What do Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao have in common
A. They succeeded in solving world problems.
B. They spent all their lives serving people.
C. They achieved a lot in the medical field.
D. They are remembered for their happiness.
27. The underlined phrase deformed his fingers could be replaced by ________.
A. changed the shape of his fingers B. made him feel down
C. gave him too much pressure D. got his fingers cut off
28. It is clear that ________.
A. Pablo Picasso became famous after his death
B. Vincent Van Gogh painted 2,001 artworks in his life
C. it took Tu Youyou’s team about 3 years to reach their goal
D. Thomas Edison tried 10,000 ways before he invented the light bulb
29. When Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic, he ________.
A. felt too tired to stay awake B. didn’t plan to study all medicine
C. knew exactly what his success meant D. didn’t fully realize its importance
30. What does the writer mainly want to tell us
A. Not everyone can be successful. B. The more difficulties, the better.
C. Great achievements aren’t made naturally. D. Great hopes make great men.

Qian Xuesen was born in Shanghai on December 11th, 1911. He is known as “the father of China’s space program” and “the king of the rocket”.
When he was 24 years old, Qian went to America for further study. After graduation, he worked in America for a few years, where his working conditions were better. In the early 1950s, he heard New China had been founded(成立) and decided not to stay in America any longer. He succeeded in coming back to his motherland in 1955 though the American government tried to stop him.
In 1956, Qian Xuesen suggested setting up a special organization, which later became the leading organization for China’s rocket and air travel program. In June 1964, China successfully created its first medium rocket. Qian also played an important role in developing China’s first man-made satellite(卫星). On April 24, 1970, “Dongfanghong-I” was successfully sent into the air.
In 1964, a young man wrote Qian Xuesen a letter and pointed out a mistake in his published article. Qian immediately answered the letter and encouraged the young man to write an article out the mistake.
Zhu Yilin, who was said to be the last student of Qian Xuesen, once said, “I learned a lot of professional knowledge as well as the spirit and attitude that a scientist should have from Mr. Qian, especially his deep love for the motherland. Without that, he couldn’t have helped to develop science and technology when New China was badly in need of scientists for its development. Without that, he would not have made the great contribution(贡献)to rocket industry in the late 1950s and early 1960s when conditions in China were too hard.”
Mr. Qian has been dead for ten years, but he will live in the memory of Chinese people forever.
31．Why did Qian Xuesen go to America when he was young
A．To find a new job. B．To receive further study.
C．To meet with his parents. D．To find better working conditions.
32．When was China’s first medium rocket created
A．In 1955. B．In 1956. C．In 1964. D．In 1970.
33．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us
A．The way Qian Xuesen tried to return to China.
B．The reason why a special organization was set up.
C．The role Qian Xuesen played in making the satellite.
D．The contribution Qian Xuesen has made to China.
34．In Zhu Yilin’s opinion, what made Qian Xuesen work hard for his motherland
A．His love for the motherland. B．His professional knowledge.
C．His working experience. D．His anger towards America.
35．We can learn from the passage that________.
A．Qian was not welcome in America in 1950s
B．the young man couldn’t understand Qian’s articles
C．New China was in great need of scientists like Qian
D．hard conditions made it easier to develop rocket industry

On March 14 in 2018, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking, the world-famous scientist, died at 76 in Cambridge, UK.
Hawking is considered by many to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe began with the Big Bang and will end in black holes. His theory became the important base for a lot of later research. He also wrote books to help common people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History of Time（《时间简史》）， which has sold more than 10 million copies around the world, according to CNN.
Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone who had a strong will and positive attitude.
When Hawking was 21, he was told that he had a serious illness that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and “speak” using a computerized voice. But this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life. “If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically(心理上) disabled as well.” he once said.
Hawking travelled around the world to attend science meeting, visiting every continent, including Antarctica. He was also a fan of popular culture and appeared on TV shows such as Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory.
He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon. When he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity flight to experience weightlessness. He hoped to travel into space one day.
In 2013, Hawking spoke about how he felt life was unfair when he first knew his illness. “But now, 50 years later, I can be quietly satisfied with my life,” he said peacefully.
36. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article

To describe how Hawking overcame his serious physical illness.
To introduce Hawking’s life to help people remember him.

B.A lot of research which came after the important theory later depends on it.
C. It made his famous book sell more than 10 million copies all over the world.
D. This achievement led him to become a strong and positive famous man.
37.Which of the following statement is TRUE
A. He travelled around the world just in order to pay a visit to every continent.
B. Although Hawking had a serious illness, he still had a wonderful and meaningful life.
C. He was a fan of up-to-date culture and hosted TV shows such as Star Trek and The Big
Bang Theory.
D. He was so positive and strong that he still felt satisfied when he was first told he had a
serious illness.
39. What does Hawking mean by “If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically (心理上) disabled as well.”
A. Although one man has a disabled body, he can still have a strong will and positive attitude.
B. If someone is physically ill, he can’t pay more money to treat his psychological disability.
C. If one is physically disabled, he needn’t have psychological disability because it’s too
much for him.
D. Although one man has disabled illness, he can also be psychologically disabled in his life.
40 . In what order did the following take place in the story
He said that he was happy with his life 50 years later.
He had to sit in a wheelchair and began to use a computer to help him speak.
He took part in a zero-gravity flight to experience weightlessness.

Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets For years, scientists said "no." or "we don't know." But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers (天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings (人；生物).
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. "This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life," say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. "Tools like the Hubble Telescope (哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies," says Shostak. "And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth."
In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes (高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited Earth "Probably not," says Shostak. "It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other."
41. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are .
A. astronomers B. farmers C. singers D. drivers
42. What is the best title for Paragraph 2
A. The Age and Size of Earth. B. Our Galaxy: The Milky Way.
C. Why Intelligent Life Might Exist. D. Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life.
43. Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past
A. There were not any smaller planets. B. There were not any powerful telescopes.
C. The astronomers were not interested in them. D. The Milky Way didn't exist at that time,
44. Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak
A. They're afraid of us. B. It's a long way away.
C. They don't want to see us. D. They don't know how to use radio signals.
45. What does the underlined phrase "life forms" in the last paragraph mean
A. Messages. B. Tools. C. Intelligent beings. D. Radio signals.

Some people only became successful after their deaths. Not like Pablo Picasso who became famous and very rich during his lifetime, the artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one painting all through his life and that was to a friend. But he kept painting and he painted more than 2,000 artworks in the following ten years. Now his paintings are very popular and they sell for millions of pounds.
One thing all these people have in common is sticking to their goals no matter what.
26. What do Yuan Longping and Wu Mengchao have in common
A. They succeeded in solving world problems.
B. They spent all their lives serving people.
C. They achieved a lot in the medical field.

Qian Xuesen was born in Shanghai on December 11th, 1911. He is known as “the father of China’s space program” and “the king of the rocket”.
When he was 24 years old, Qian went to America for further study. After graduation, he worked in America for a few years, where his working conditions were better. In the early 1950s, he heard New China had been founded(成立) and decided not to stay in America any longer. He succeeded in coming back to his motherland in 1955 though the American government tried to stop him.
In 1956, Qian Xuesen suggested setting up a special organization, which later became the leading organization for China’s rocket and air travel program. In June 1964, China successfully created its first medium rocket. Qian also played an important role in developing China’s first man-made satellite(卫星). On April 24, 1970, “Dongfanghong-I” was successfully sent into the air.
In 1964, a young man wrote Qian Xuesen a letter and pointed out a mistake in his published article. Qian immediately answered the letter and encouraged the young man to write an article out the mistake.
Zhu Yilin, who was said to be the last student of Qian Xuesen, once said, “I learned a lot of professional knowledge as well as the spirit and attitude that a scientist should have from Mr. Qian, especially his deep love for the motherland. Without that, he couldn’t have helped to develop science and technology when New China was badly in need of scientists for its development. Without that, he would not have made the great contribution(贡献)to rocket industry in the late 1950s and early 1960s when conditions in China were too hard.”
Mr. Qian has been dead for ten years, but he will live in the memory of Chinese people forever.
31．Why did Qian Xuesen go to America when he was young
A．To find a new job. B．To receive further study.
C．To meet with his parents. D．To find better working conditions.
32．When was China’s first medium rocket created
A．In 1955. B．In 1956. C．In 1964. D．In 1970.

A．The way Qian Xuesen tried to return to China.
B．The reason why a special organization was set up.
C．The role Qian Xuesen played in making the satellite.
D．The contribution Qian Xuesen has made to China.
34．In Zhu Yilin’s opinion, what made Qian Xuesen work hard for his motherland
A．His love for the motherland. B．His professional knowledge.
C．His working experience. D．His anger towards America.
35．We can learn from the passage that________.
A．Qian was not welcome in America in 1950s
B．the young man couldn’t understand Qian’s articles
C．New China was in great need of scientists like Qian
D．hard conditions made it easier to develop rocket industry

On March 14 in 2018, one of science’s brightest stars went dark. Stephen Hawking, the world-famous scientist, died at 76 in Cambridge, UK.
Hawking is considered by many to be the greatest scientist in history since Albert Einstein. He came up with the theory that the universe began with the Big Bang and will end in black holes. His theory became the important base for a lot of later research. He also wrote books to help common people understand the universe. His most famous book is A Brief History of Time（《时间简史》）， which has sold more than 10 million copies around the world, according to CNN.
Besides his scientific achievements, Hawking was also someone who had a strong will and positive attitude.
When Hawking was 21, he was told that he had a serious illness that stopped him from walking and talking. Later in life, he had to sit in a wheelchair and “speak” using a computerized voice. But this didn’t stop him from living a meaningful and colorful life. “If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically(心理上) disabled as well.” he once said.
Hawking travelled around the world to attend science meeting, visiting every continent, including Antarctica. He was also a fan of popular culture and appeared on TV shows such as Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory.
He celebrated his 60th birthday by going up in a hot-air balloon. When he was 65, he took part in a zero-gravity flight to experience weightlessness. He hoped to travel into space one day.
In 2013, Hawking spoke about how he felt life was unfair when he first knew his illness. “But now, 50 years later, I can be quietly satisfied with my life,” he said peacefully.
36. What is the author’s purpose in writing the article

B. Although Hawking had a serious illness, he still had a wonderful and meaningful life.
C. He was a fan of up-to-date culture and hosted TV shows such as Star Trek and The Big
Bang Theory.
D. He was so positive and strong that he still felt satisfied when he was first told he had a
serious illness.
39. What does Hawking mean by “If one is physically disabled, one cannot afford to be psychologically (心理上) disabled as well.”
A. Although one man has a disabled body, he can still have a strong will and positive attitude.
B. If someone is physically ill, he can’t pay more money to treat his psychological disability.
C. If one is physically disabled, he needn’t have psychological disability because it’s too
much for him.
D. Although one man has disabled illness, he can also be psychologically disabled in his life.
40 . In what order did the following take place in the story
He said that he was happy with his life 50 years later.

Is there intelligent (有智力的) life on other planets For years, scientists said "no." or "we don't know." But today this is changing. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are astronomers (天文学家). They believe intelligent life exists (存在) somewhere in the universe. They also think we will soon contact these beings (人；生物).
Why do Shostak and Barnett think intelligent life exists on other planets The first reason is time. Scientists believe the universe is about 12 billion years old. "This is long enough for other planets to have intelligent life," say Shostak and Barnett. The second reason is size—the universe is huge. "Tools like the Hubble Telescope (哈勃望远镜) have shown that there are at least 100 billion galaxies," says Shostak. "And our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 100 billion stars. Some planets going around these stars might be similar to Earth."
In the past, it was hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe. But now, powerful telescopes (高倍望远镜) allow scientists to discover smaller planets—the size of Mars or Earth—in other solar systems. These planets might have intelligent life.
Have beings from space already visited Earth "Probably not," says Shostak. "It's a long way away. However, intelligent beings may contact us in other way, such as radio signals (信号). In fact, they may be trying to communicate with us now, but we don't have the right tools to receive their messages. However, this is changing. By 2025, we could make contact with other life forms in our universe and we might help each other."
41. Seth Shostak and Alexandra Barnett are .
A. astronomers B. farmers C. singers D. drivers
42. What is the best title for Paragraph 2
A. The Age and Size of Earth. B. Our Galaxy: The Milky Way.
C. Why Intelligent Life Might Exist. D. Earth: The Only Planet with Intelligent Life.
43. Why was it hard to look for signs of intelligent life in the universe in the past
A. There were not any smaller planets. B. There were not any powerful telescopes.
C. The astronomers were not interested in them. D. The Milky Way didn't exist at that time,
44. Why haven't beings from space visited us yet according to Shostak
A. They're afraid of us. B. It's a long way away.
C. They don't want to see us. D. They don't know how to use radio signals.
45. What does the underlined phrase "life forms" in the last paragraph mean
A. Messages. B. Tools. C. Intelligent beings. D. Radio signals.
【答案】41. A 42. D 43. B 44. B 45. C
