Yang Zhenning’s passing is not just the loss of a scientist, but the end of an era. His life story, which
spanned a century, is closely linked with the development of modern physics and the progress of his motherland.
Many people know Yang Zhenning for his scientific achievements, but his influence goes far beyond the
academic world. As Shi Yigong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, once wrote, Yang
Zhenning’s achievements have inspired generations of Chinese young people to pursue science and work hard,
and many outstanding scientists in basic research have emerged from this inspiration.
Yang Zhenning’s love for his motherland was reflected in every stage of his life. In the 1970s, he was one
of the first overseas Chinese scholars to return to China, building a bridge for academic exchanges between China
and the West. When he learned that China’s atomic bomb was developed independently, he was so moved that he
cried. In his later years, he gave up his foreign nationality and settled in Tsinghua Garden, naming his residence
“Root-Returning Residence” to show his determination to devote himself to his motherland’s education cause.
Those who worked with him remembered his humility and dedication. Wang Xiaoyun, a cryptography expert at
Tsinghua University, said that she and her team were direct beneficiaries of Yang Zhenning’s support. He always
encouraged young scholars and hoped that Chinese people could make world-class scientific achievements.
After his passing, people from all walks of life came to mourn him. From elderly people in work clothes to
young students in school uniforms, they all came to pay their respects, showing that his spirit has taken root in the
hearts of the people.
语篇翻译
杨振宁的离世，不仅仅是科学界失去了一位杰出的科学家，更意味着一个时代的落幕。他跨越百年
的人生历程，与现代物理学的发展以及祖国的进步紧密相连。
许多人因杨振宁的科学成就而熟知他，但他的影响力远不止于学术领域。正如中国科学院院士施一
公曾写道，杨振宁的成就激励了一代又一代中国年轻人投身科学、努力奋斗，众多基础研究领域的杰出
科学家也因此受到鼓舞而涌现。
杨振宁对祖国的热爱贯穿了他生命的每一个阶段。20 世纪70 年代，他是最早回国的海外华裔学者之
一，为中国与西方的学术交流搭建了桥梁。当得知中国原子弹是自主研发成功时，他感动得热泪盈眶。
晚年，他放弃外国国籍，定居清华园，将自己的住所命名为“归根居”，以此表明他投身祖国教育事业
的决心。 与他共事过的人都记得他的谦逊和奉献精神。清华大学密码学专家王小云表示，她和她的
团队是杨振宁支持的直接受益者。他总是鼓励青年学者，希望中国人能够取得世界级的科研成果。
他离世后，社会各界人士纷纷前来悼念。从身着工作服的老人到穿着校服的学生，大家都前来表达
敬意，这表明他的精神已深深扎根于人民心中。
知识拓展
科学成就：
杨振宁与李政道合作提出“宇称不守恒定律”，于1957 年获得诺贝尔物理学奖，这一理论颠覆了当时
物理学界的传统认知。他还在统计力学、凝聚态物理等多个领域取得了卓越成就，提出了杨 - 米尔斯理
论，为现代规范场理论奠定了基础，该理论在粒子物理学中具有极其重要的地位。
促进中外学术交流：
20 世纪70 年代起，杨振宁频繁回国讲学，为中国科学界带来了国际前沿的学术思想和研究方法。他
积极推动中国学者与国际科研团队的合作与交流，帮助中国科学界逐渐融入国际科研大环境。例如，他
促成了中美联合培养物理研究生计划（CUSPEA），让大量中国优秀学生有机会到美国顶尖高校深造，这
些学生回国后成为了中国科研的中坚力量。
投身国内教育事业：
杨振宁晚年回国定居，任教于清华大学。他亲自授课，培养了一批优秀的物理人才。他还推动了清华
大学高等研究中心的建设，为国内科研人员提供了一个高水平的学术研究平台，吸引了众多国内外优秀
学者前来交流合作。
爱国情怀体现：
杨振宁始终心系祖国发展，在得知中国成功独立研制出原子弹时，他激动落泪。他多次在公开场合表
达对祖国的热爱和对国家发展的信心。他放弃外国国籍，回归中国国籍，以实际行动表达对祖国的忠诚
和奉献。

(2025 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(新课标Ⅱ卷)英语真题B)Kathy Ho teaches high school inside
Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford(LPCH). “Sometimes I don't like saying that I'm a teacher,” says Ho.
“People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that's not really what it is here.”
“Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is
free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It's a place of learning. About half of Ho's students stay for a
week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho's students will recover, which means that preparing
them to return to school is an increasingly important component of care.
Still, in room 386, academics don't come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you're
scared about something and thinking only about that, there's no way you're going to be able to learn,” Ho says.
“I'm a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that's what it means to be a hospital teacher. ”
There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho's class. She generally works with their regular teachers to
get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don't give the kids any assignments; they
express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don't care
about their schoolwork. ”
Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers(同龄人) outside the
hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain
management services at LPCH. “It's about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids
have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.”
24. Who does Ho teach at LPCH?
A. Sick children. B. Young nurses. C. Medical students.
D. Patients' parents.
25. What is a characteristic of Ho's job?
A. Prioritizing academics. B. Encouraging innovation.
C. Treating various diseases. D. Playing multiple roles.
26. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4?
A. Offering regular lessons.
B. Paying extra attention.
C. Assigning no schoolwork.
D. Showing no sympathy.
27. How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good?
A. It eases peer pressure. B. It helps them live in hope.
C. It frees them from aches. D. It entertains them with stories.

Passage 1
（2025-2026 学年江苏省武进高级中学高三上学期10 月联考）
Sharing his love for cinema with thousands of audiences was “the real experience of that portrayed in
Cinema Paradiso,” said Italian film director Giuseppe Tornatore. Looking back at his 40-year career, Tornatore
said each of his films reflects a stage in his life. Cinema Paradiso was deeply connected to his own youthful
experiences.
He recalled the first time he went to the cinema at age 6. “When the lights went off and the surroundings
instantly plunged into darkness, the characters suddenly appeared on the screen,” he said. “To a child like me, they
looked like giants. I could not help but ask myself: where did these giants come from?” When he was 9, Tornatore
got to know a projectionist (放映师) who was also a photographer. He taught the boy how to project films and
take photographs, becoming the inspiration for Alfredo in Cinema Paradiso, Tornatore said. During that time,
Tornatore began filming with an 8mm camera, and when he was 14, he was working as a projectionist.
He had a busy life as a youth — taking classes in the morning and showing films in the afternoon.
“Through this training, I learned how to edit films.” He also suggested that ambitious moviemakers should learn
as much as they can.
An audience asked Tornatore, with the popularity of short videos and Internet content today, what
filmmakers should do to keep audiences interested. Tornatore said, “It actually is a conundrum for filmmakers
today.” However, he believed filmmakers should not be discouraged, as the ways people watch movies and
engage with film art have become increasingly rich and diverse.
“With continuous technological innovation, we must create more diverse films, keep our confidence, and
hold on to our principles,” he said. “Just as I once kept learning and exploring film as a child, we, too, must
remain true to our ambitions and keep doing what we have been doing.”
1．What can be inferred about Tornatore from the first two paragraphs?
A．His childhood shapes his personality.
B．His films are related to his experiences.
C．He draws inspiration from the audience. D．He has a great passion for watching films.
2．What does the underlined word “conundrum” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Opportunity.
B．Advance.
C．Challenge.
D．Necessity.
3．What does Tornatore suggest filmmakers do in paragraph 5?
A．Adopt more technological skills.
B．Stick to their initial intention.
C．Be faithful to their audience.
D．Set principles for their films.
4．Which of the following can best describe Tornatore from the passage?
A．Dedicated.
B．Far-sighted.
C．Cooperative.
D．Good-natured.
Passage 2
（2026 届贵州省遵义市高三上学期第一次适应性考试（一模）英语试卷）
For thousands of years, powerful dynasties ruled over China. Each dynasty was a distinct line of rulers
from the same group, order, or family. These dynasties produced powerful emperors and leaders.
1
Throughout these dynasties, many armies were raised. Thousands of battles were fought throughout Eastern Asia.
During these conflicts, some of the greatest military commanders in ancient Chinese history rose to prominence.
These included commanders like Sun Wu and Wu Qi. These elite leaders, generals, and emperors had great
strategic skills.
2
Their military campaigns changed the course of Chinese history. These campaigns
influenced social and political outcomes in China for centuries.
3
It is widely recognized as one of the most important books written on the subject of
warfare.★Though there are few accurate details of Sun Tzu’s early life, scholars have determined that he was born
in the Chinese State of Qi and served King Ho-lu of Wu as a military specialist during the late Zhou Dynasty.
Through his knowledge and experience, Sun Tzu developed unique military theories that focused on
psychological warfare — an innovative concept during a period when most militaries were generally focused on
suppressing their enemies through overwhelming physical force.
4
The lessons contained within The Art of War can be distilled down to one primary theme: the use of
unconventional means and deception to exert psychological dominance, producing invaluable leverage over
enemies in military situations. In his teachings, Sun Tzu encouraged tactics like eroding enemies’ alliances. He
also suggested using surprise attacks to gain a tactical advantage. Avoiding battle was another tactic he
recommended.
5 By studying Sun Tzu’s philosophy of mental warfare and strategy versus total reliance on
physical force, military historians can enhance their understanding of how The Art of War influenced military
tactics employed by countries across the globe to this day.
A．They achieved incredible victories.
B．Sun Tzu is the author of The Art of War.
C．They have a strong sense of taking power.
D．Thus, his approach reshaped warfare principles.
E．They sought to control the entire massive region.
F．He even advised retreating to produce a favorable outcome.
G．Sun Tzu became one of the greatest generals in the world.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
By the time Charlie Brown was in the sixth grade, he was the smallest and the youngest boy in his class.
Being a good student didn’t last forever. Later, school was all but impossible for Charlie. He failed every subject
in the eighth grade. By the time Charlie was in junior high, he began to have trouble. He flunked physics in high
school, getting a grade of zero. By the tenth grade, Schulz said that he had “failed everything in sight. ”
Charlie also failed in Latin, algebra, and English. He didn’t do much better in sports. Although he did
manage to make the school’s golf team, he promptly lost the only important match of the season. There was a
consolation match but he lost that too.
Throughout his youth, Charlie was awkward, socially. He was not actually disliked by the other students
and no one cared that much. He was astonished if a classmate ever said hello to him outside of school hours.
There is no way to tell how he might have done at dating. Charlie never asked a girl out in high school. He
was too afraid of being turned down.
Charlie was a loser. He, his classmates... everyone knew it. So he went with it. Charlie had made up his
