At the age of 30, she became the youngest professor（教授）at Tsinghua.Now, Yan, 42, has become a leading biology researcher at Princeton. On April 30, she was included among the 100 new members and 25 foreign associates（院士）into the US National Academy of Science.However, it was a long and difficult road for her to make such achievements. She said that in order to realize her dream, she experienced a lot of failures and pains. But she never gave up her dream. Instead, she followed her dream and fought for it.She usually works at least 14 hours a day. Sometimes she even forgets to eat and rest and works until late night. She never gets tired because she thinks doing research is the most “comfortable” job for her.In a TV interview, Yan encouraged young people to work hard for their dreams. “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to follow them.”27．Yan went to Tsinghua to study________in 1996.A．biology B．physics C．medicine D．chemistry 28．She studied in Princeton University for about________years.A．4 B．7 C．30 D．4229．We can learn from the passage that________.A．Yan wanted to give up when she had failures and pains in researchB．Yan never gets tired because doing research is the easiest jobC．Yan achieved her dream because she had the courage to follow itD．Yan made these achievements mainly by asking others for help30．What is the best title（标题）for this passage?A．A Difficult Research B．A Famous UniversityC．A Smooth Road D．A Dream Follower“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own language, that goes to his heart.”—Nelson Mandela, the late president of South Africa.Mandela understood that our mother language can make us closer. For people who speak an ancient language as their mother language, it helps them keep their traditions. Their language is their main connection with their ancestors（祖先）. And it is also how they imagine the future.But there are fewer and fewer existing languages over the last century, more than 400 languages have died out. Some languages are now spoken only by a few dozen people, like Yagan in Chile. Africa and South America are also places where many languages are dying. Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did. The answer has to do with globalization（全球化）. Nowadays, it’s more useful to speak certain languages-English is one example-rather than others. This has killed some languages, usually the ones spoken by fewer or less influential people.But some people aren’t prepared to accept a planet with fewer and fewer languages. They want to find and protect more endangered languages. And the United Nations has set Feb. 21 as International Mother Language Day. The organization wants people to pay more attention to dying languages and make them more animate.This work is of great importance. Just as the US writer Rita Mae Brown wrote, “Language is a kind of symbol of a culture. It tells where its people come from and where they are going.”31．People’s mother language ________.A．goes to their head B．helps them keep their traditions C．connects them with their mothers D．helps them become more influential 32．Why are humans speaking fewer languages than we once did?A．Because over 400 languages have died out.B．Because languages in South America are dying.C．Because certain languages are useful to speak now.D．Because only English is an easy language to speak.33．The underlined word “animate” in the passage means ________.A．moving B．puzzling C．exciting D．living 34．What do Rita Mae Brown’s words mean?A．The UN wanted to create a new language.B．A person’s hometown can be found easily.C．The language is an important part of a culture.D．The language can help people go anywhere.35．What is the best title for this passage?A．We Should Speak English More.B．The International Mother Language Day.C．Globalization Has Killed Some Languages.D．We Should Pay More Attention to Mother Language.四、多任务混合阅读Halfway through middle school, almost everyone has developed their own learning method. Yes, a recent conversation with my deskmate gave me new thoughts on how to studyShe was a typical procrastinator（拖拉的人）in our teachers’ eyes. However, I wonder how she tried t o make gradual progress. Once, I asked her, “How do you improve your grades even without handing in homework on time?” She answered, “Handing in homework late doesn’t mean that I don’t study. I just review and learn first, then do my homework.So I suddenl y realized that she wasn’t procrastinating, but taking her time to think. When reviewing, she was looking for her weaknesses and then strengthening them.When we learn a new thing, we remember it best. Then we gradually forget it. A few days later, we may only be able to recall only a bit of it, or even nothing at all. Reviewing helps us better learn new knowledge. It helps us turn short-term memories into long-term memories.On normal school days, when students don’t have to prepare for big exams, they sho uld review their work and learn from their mistakes. Once it gets close to exams, it is always wise to start preparing for them.Therefore, we need to know how to study wisely. Otherwise, even if we spend a lot of time studying, there won’t be any improvem ent.1,2题完成句子；3题简略回答问题；4题找出并写下第四段的主题句；5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。

Suddenly, a group of spots streaks past you.What was it？It may have been a cheetah，the fastest animal on land. It can run up to 70 miles per hour，which is faster than most cars moving on the highway!In many ways, the cheetah is built for speed. Even though this animal is a cat，its paws are much more like a dog's paws. The paws allow the cheetah to make quick turns. A cheetah also has long legs that help it take big steps. It can jump as far as 20 feet in one leap! Even the cheetah's backbone helps it move quickly. The backbone acts as a spring(弹簧)，moving the cheetah forward with sudden burst(迸发)of energy. Although the cheetah can run fast，it cannot run for long distance. It uses its energy quickly and becomes tired. If the cheetah cannot catch its dinner in a hurry，it will have to rest a while before trying again.A cheetah is also made to be a great hunter. It has sharp eyesight. A cheetah can see other animals up to three miles away. Good eyesight helps the cheetah find its prey(猎物)so it can plan an attack. A cheetah's coat is also very useful. The coat is light brown with black spots. It allows a cheetah to hide in the tall，brown grass in Africa. Other animals do not see it hiding，so a cheetah can get close to rabbits，birds，and otheranimals quietly.Today the cheetah is in danger.Parts of Africa are being turned into farms.This change forces the cheetah and other animals to find new places to live，which is not always easy. Cheetahs are also being hunted by other animals such as lions and hyenas. However，zookeepers and wildlife experts are trying to save the cheetah.Maybe with their help，cheetahs will grow larger in number.1. "streaks" means " ______".A.searches for foodB.gets close quietlyC.moves with great speedD.plans a sudden attack2. The cheetah's coat is MOST useful because it ______.A.protects the cheetah from the sunB.helps the cheetah hide in the grassC.keeps the cheetah cool after a long runD.lets the cheetah move with gr3.“Speedy and Spotty" is a good title for the article because ______.A.It gives the names of two cheetahs.B.It catches the readers' attention.C.It explains how cheetahs act in the wild.D.It describes two facts about cheetahCCaptain Nemo took me to the dining room. We sat at a table in the middle of the room and ate a delicious lunch. He told me that all thefood came from the sea. “I love the sea,” he said. “It gives me everything that I need.

These shared bikes all use Beidou based positioning chips(芯片).The chips have high qualities. They can deal with information accurately and quickly. They feature low power consumption. They provide a better user experience and easier management for the local companies. Now, several new models of shared electric bikes with Beidou-based chips have also started to be produced and put into market. Besides positioning and navigation, the chips will help users and bike companies record user speed and battery condition of an electric bike. The possible crimes during the bike using will also be recorded.In fact, years ago, shared bike companies began to use positioning chips which worked well with both GPS and Beidou services. After the Beidou system became fully in use in the summer of 2023, shared bike companies started installing Beidou-based chips on more bikes in more areas. The latest chips which are popular with bike companies are smaller and have more advantages over the old types.Since 2000, a total of 59 Beidou satellites have been lifted from theXichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province. After the final satellite was lifted in 2023, the system was completed and started providing global services. Beidou Satellite System is designed and developed by China and it is one of four global navigation networks, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo.According to a research in 2022, by the end of 2023the total value connected with satellite navigation and positioning services in China was 469 billion yuan, a 16.3-percent increase year-on-year. More than 500,000 Chinese people now work at around 14.000 China’s companies and organizations doing business connected with Beidou and other satellite navigation and positioning services.1．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2A．The history of shared bikes. B．The qualities of shared bikes. C．The advantages of Beidou-based chips. D．The producers of Beidou-based chips.2．What does the underlined word “installing” mean in Paragraph 3 A．putting away B．putting off C．putting through D．putting in 3．How does the writer prove the value of satellite navigation and positioning services in Paragraph 5A．By explaining reasons B．By listing numbers.C．By comparing conditions. D．By introducing backgrounds.4．What’s the best title of the passageA．Technology Shapes the Future of the Products B．Users Needs Drive the Growth of the ProductsC．Competition Lifts the Quality of the Products D．Service Increases the Sales of the Products五、六选四Life is full of choices and decisions. Here are some steps to help you make wise decisions.First, it’s better to make a decision quickly than avoid it for a month because you’re afraid of choosing. ____1____ Also, some choices usually have time limits. So to keep our brains from getting too tired, we needn’t think about the cost of every single choice. Narrow down the list and try comparing only the best two or three.Next, think about the value and cost of each choice. ____2____ Or better yet, create a scorecard,on which you give out bigger point values to what you think is more important. This way you can tell if one huge advantage is more important than a group of little disadvantages. Then, stay calm and give yourself some space. You don’t want to delay(延迟) for weeks, but if you’re about to make a hasty(仓促的) decision, you may end up picking something you regret. ____3____ And it might take you a few days for major choices, like choosing your ideal high school.____4____ Why Because it’s good to get a fresh way of thinking from others who are not as worried as you. Consider their opinions(观点) even if they are not what you want to hear. You need to take different opinions into consideration so that you will make a wise decision.A. You’ll need at least one night to “sleep on it”.B. And you don’t have to make a decision alone.C. They are the best chances to show your personality.D. These ways of letting out what you are feeling are helpful.E. It’s very tiring to think things over but fail to decide in time.F. To do that, you can make a list of advantages and disadvantages.六、综合填空Kelly is my best friend. She 1.___________ (begin) piano lessons when she was only 6 years old.

The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green,orange,yellow and white.The scientist told us that colous also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not.Then why did the scientist say so?

How to feel good about yourself C Many Americans have been leaving their cars at home and riding to work on bicycles. Andy Clark is the leader of the League of American Bicyclists. His group supports bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation. Clark says this is good news for the environment. He says riding a bicycle to work does not burn fossil fuel or creates dangerous pollution. Experts say the effects are the most important on short trips. Shorter car trips give out more pollution into the air for each kilometer drive. This is because the car engine will give out the harmful gas when it warms up before it can work well. James, a member of Congress, is a strong supporter of bicycle use. He says cities, counties, state governments and state highway transportation agencies are planning the roadways of the future. They are creating roads and paths for bicycles in cities and between communities. Last year, Portland, the Pacific Northwest city in the state of Oregon, had the highest percentage of bicycle users in the United States.
