Yang Zhenning, born on October 1, 1922 in Hefei City, Anhui province, is a Chinese physicist who made important contributions.
In 1935, he told his parents his ambition to “win the Nobel Prize one day,” a childlike “bold statement” that later became a reality in 1957, making him one of the first two Chinese Nobel Prize winners.
In 1945, he was chosen as a government-sponsored student from Tsinghua University to study in the United States. In 1948, he obtained his doctorate. During his time at the University of Chicago, he was deeply influenced by Professor Enrico Fermi. Later, recommended by Fermi, he joined the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in 1949, starting a brilliant academic career.
Although he lived abroad, he always cared about his motherland. Learning that China’s atomic bomb was developed independently, he was deeply moved to tears.
In 1980, he set up the “Committee on Scholarly Exchange with China,” sponsoring nearly 100 Chinese scholars to study in the United States over more than a decade. These scholars later became the backbone of China’s scientific and technological development.
Since 1999, he had served as a professor at Tsinghua University, raising funds to establish the Institute for Advanced Study Foundation. “One of the most important choices in my life was deciding to return to Tsinghua,” Yang Zhenning once said. At the age of over 80, he taught “General Physics” to freshmen and promoted the development of disciplines such as cold atomic physics.
Though Professor Yang Zhenning has passed away, his spirit lives on.
24. At what age did Yang Zhenning show his ambition to win a Nobel Prize
A. 10. B. 13. C. 23. D. 35.
25. What can we infer about the scholars in Paragraph 5
A. They established an organization.
B. They disagreed with Yang’s methods.
C. They became key scientists in China.
D. They all decided to work in America.
26. Which words can best describe Yang Zhenning
A. Intelligent and tough. B. Ambitious and patriotic.
C. Humorous and determined. D. Outgoing and warm-hearted.
27. What does the underlined phrase refer to in the last paragraph
A. His religious faith and personal beliefs.
B. The physical energy he had in old age.
C. The financial donations he made to universities.
D. His lasting scientific achievements and inspiring influence.

You might think that only world leaders and scientists can fight climate change. But today, young people all over the world are making a real difference. They are using their voices and actions to protect our planet.
One famous young activist is Greta Thunberg from Sweden. She started by sitting alone outside her country’s parliament (国会) with a sign that read, “School Strike for Climate.” Her small action inspired a huge global movement called “Fridays for Future.” Now, millions of students skip school on Fridays to join protests (抗议) and demand action from adults.
It’s not just about protests. Many kids are taking action in their own communities. For example, some students organize clean-up days at local parks or beaches. They pick up plastic bottles and bags to stop pollution. Others focus on planting trees. Trees are very important because they absorb carbon dioxide and give us clean air. Some young inventors are even creating new technology to help. A teenager from India made a device that can turn plastic waste into fuel. A group of students in Kenya developed an app that teaches people how to recycle correctly.
These young activists show us that you are never too young to make a change. They remind everyone that the Earth is our home, and we all need to work together to take care of it. Their message is clear: the future belongs to the young, and they are ready to fight for it.
28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To criticize world leaders.
C. To compare scientists and students.
D. To list all the causes of global warming.
29 What can we know about the impact of Greta Thunberg’s action
A. It stopped all plastic pollution in Europe.
B. It caused lots of schools to close every Friday.
C. It inspired many students to take climate action.
D. It successfully made her the leader of a political party.
30. Which statement is TRUE according to the 3rd paragraph
A. Scientists had solved environmental problems.
B. Technology is the only solution to climate change.
C. Cleaning parks is more important than planting trees.
D. The young are taking practical action in their communities.
31. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. Climate change is a big problem.
B. Young kids are helping the Earth.
C. Students should stop going to school to protest.
D. World leaders can make real changes to protect the Earth.
D
In recent years, labor education has become a key part of school curricula in China. Inspired by the belief that “life is education,” many schools now encourage students to take part in meaningful hands-on activities such as planting vegetables, cooking meals, and repairing simple items. A kindergarten in Henan Province recently attracted public attention for teaching children how to sift (筛) wheat and make dough — simple but practical tasks that help build life skills.
Labor education goes beyond skill development. It helps students become more independent, responsible, and cooperative. By experiencing real work, they learn to appreciate the value of effort and understand that every job is worthy of respect. These experiences also support emotional and cognitive growth, contributing to well-rounded personal development.
In 2018, the Chinese government officially included labor education as a required subject in schools. The goal is to change negative attitudes toward physical labor and promote a culture of hard work from an early age. However, successful programs require proper planning, safety measures, and support from parents to ensure activities are suitable for each age group.
Though challenges exist, this trend shows a change in how we view education. True learning doesn’t just happen in textbooks — it also comes from doing. Through labor, students gain a realistic understanding of life, helping them grow into a thoughtful person.
32. Why do many schools launch hands-on activities
A Schools were inspired by a belief. B. Schools were required by parents.
C. The activities were favored by teachers. D. The activities were preferred by students.
33. What can we know from Paragraph 2
A Labor education merely develops skills.
B. Children should work instead of studying.
C. Cooking is the most important skill in life.
D. Labor education supports well-rounded growth.
34. Why is parents’ support important in labor education
A. Parents can replace teachers.
B. Children only listen to their parents.
C. Schools cannot organize anything alone.
D. It ensures activities are suitable for students.
35. Which is the best title for the passage
A. Learning from Textbooks.
B. The History of Chinese Education.
C. Growing through Labor Education.
D. The Challenges of Labor Education.

In a peaceful small town lived a girl named Mary. Since childhood, she had been filled with curiosity and longing for water. Whenever she saw others swimming freely in the pool, a strong desire welled up in her heart: “I want to learn how to swim too!”
One day, she gathered her courage and signed up for swimming classes at the local swimming pool. However, when she first stepped into the pool, her excitement quickly turned into nervousness. Looking around, she noticed that the other children were already comfortable in the water. Some could even swim entire lanes with ease.
Embarrassment and unease washed over her like a tide. She was the only student in the class who couldn’t swim at all. At that moment, shame and anxiety overwhelmed her, making her even consider turning back and giving up this lesson.
Just when she was about to quit, Coach Johnson noticed her hesitation. He walked over, bent down, and said gently, “Don’t worry, everyone starts from the very beginning. I’ll be there with you.”
His voice was like a ray of sunshine, warming Mary’s heart. From that day on, Coach Johnson patiently taught her how to breathe, float, and paddle. For each movement, he demonstrated repeatedly.
Whenever she faced setbacks, he encouraged her: “Try again, you’ve already improved!” At first, Mary still choked on water. But she didn’t give up easily anymore.
注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A few weeks later, Coach Johnson smiled and said to her, “Today, try to swim on your own.”
