Yu Yi,a respected Chinese educator whose life came to embody the moral seriousness and intellectual ambition of modern Chinese schooling,has died in Shanghai at the age of 97.Her death on March 14(1)______ mourning across the education sector.she' d long been regarded not merely as a teacher,but as a figure of national significance.
From her early years,Yu believed that(2)______ to great language,history and civic feeling could shape not only a student's intellect but also the structure of character itself.Born in Zhenjiang in February 1929,she graduated from the Department of Education at Fudan University in 1951 and began a teaching career that would extend across more than seven decades.Over the years she served in key educational posts,including as honorary principal of Shanghai Yangpu Senior High School,while remaining,in spirit,a classroom teacher first and last.
The force of her influence was at times almost(3)______ in its manner,yet immense in its reach.Yu was widely admired for a pedagogy(4)______ by precision,cultural depth and emotional gravity.She argued that language teaching should not be reduced to(5)______ drills,but must unite utility with humanity.In an age often tempted by slogans or fashionable shortcuts,she insisted on intellectual honesty,rigorous preparation and respect for the inner lives of students.Former pupils and younger teachers alike remembered her as exacting without coldness,disciplined yet profoundly(6)______ ,because she believed the young were worthy of much.
Her public stature grew with the transformation of Chinese education itself.In 1978 she was named among the country's first group of specially accredited senior teachers.She later helped(7)______ Chinese-language curriculum reform,trained large numbers of younger educators,delivered nearly 2,000 public lessons,and produced millions of words in scholarly works.In 2019,the Chinese state awarded her the honorary title"People's Educator",(8)______ her as the sole representative from basic education among the inaugural recipients of that distinction.
Yu Yi often said that one should spend a lifetime being a teacher and a lifetime learning how to be one.That formulation,at once(9)______ and severe,now reads like the creed of her life.She belonged to a generation that viewed education not as a technical profession alone,but as a moral undertaking bound up with the fate of a nation.In mourning her,China is not only bidding(10)______ to an eminent schoolwoman;it is also saluting a vanishing model of intellectual conscience in public life.

Visitors to Shanghai are often advised to admire the skyline,respect the traffic,and prepare for prices that may occasionally hurt their feelings.To this list,the internet has lately added another(1)______ :do not,under any emotional impulse,raise a cup of Mixue Ice Cream &Tea too close to the Oriental Pearl,lest the(2)______ tower,acting in its newly-given capacity as an urban defence tower,open fire upon where you stand.
In Shanghai,a wrong ceremonial choice leads to a grave danger.Shanghai is not merely a city but a(n)(3)______ examination of taste.One may pass through it safely with a silk scarf,a restrained coffee order,and an expression suggesting that one has never compared prices in public.Mixue,however,enters this(4)______ like a cheerful Cinderella in a marble ballroom:innocent,inexpensive,and therefore intolerably easy to notice.
How then is one to proceed?First,conceal panic.Nothing invites the Pearl's laser attack faster than guilt.Walk calmly.Hold the cup not like illegal goods,but like(5)______ family treasure.Should passers-by glance in your direction,look faintly bored,as though your lemon tea were a limited(6)______ collaboration available only to those with strong emotional discipline.
Second,choose the location wisely.The truly careful do not stand in open plazas beneath the skyline,waving a one-yuan ice-cream.One drinks in side streets,under huge trees,or beside a convenience store where every class of city life has long kept a practical peace.Urban survival,as ever,depends on(7)______ .
Third,upgrade the(8)______ .If questioned,never say,"I bought Mixue because it was cheap."That is the language of vulnerability.Say instead that you are conducting field research into mass-market beverage culture,or testing the resilience of popular brands in presence of the Pearl's hostility.A serious tone can rescue any beverage.
Lastly,remember that this article is only(9)______ as a funny joke.The Oriental Pearl has not yet destroyed a single citizen for crimes against boutique consumption.Shanghai remains a city where luxury and bargain,pride and joy,coexist in an uneasy but lively mixture.So drink your Mixue boldly—only not too boldly.Civilisation,after all,depends on(10)______

A
Directions:Read the following four passages.Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.
For three days she remained at the grand and magnificent gate of the television station,as though once planted there she could no longer be lifted out of the ground.She was a thin village girl with a strange accent,all elbows and knees,her body so slight that the coarse cloth of her jacket seemed to hang from bone rather than flesh.Her face was browned by sun and wind;her hair,parted in the middle,was drawn back without softness.When she stood still,she looked dry and narrow as a stalk left after harvest.Yet she did not often stand still.She was always watching.
The guard had refused her at the very beginning.No papers.No pass.No entry.She had listened with her head slightly lowered,her hands hanging by her sides,the fingers rough and reddened,opening and then closing.When she heard that the station director wore glasses,she lifted her face at once.After that,her eyes hardly left the gate.
Each time a prospect came out,she would dart forward two or three steps,quick and abrupt,stopping so suddenly that the soles of her shoes scraped the ground.She would tip her head back to look at his face,staring first at the glasses,then at the mouth,as if comparing him with some image she had made in her own mind."Are you the director?"she would ask.The question was always the same.No greeting, no apology,no explanation beforehand.Her voice was flat,dry,and direct,carrying the accent of the countryside in every syllable.When the answer was no,she stood aside and waited for the next pair of glasses.
By the second day her lips had gone pale.Dust clung to her trouser legs.She squatted when she was tired,arms wrapped round her knees,but even then she kept turning her head toward the doorway.At the slightest movement,she sprang up again."Are you the director?"Sometimes she asked it quickly,almost before the man had fully crossed the threshold;sometimes she spoke more slowly,each word pushed out with effort after hours of waiting.At night she did not leave.In the morning she was still there,hair rumpled,eyes swollen from lack of sleep,asking the same question in the same tone,as if the three days had not lengthened time at all,but merely worn away everything except that single sentence.
3.The girl's appearance and behaviour at the TV station reveals that she ______ .
A. tried to adapt to the TV station rules.
B. gave in to the guard's denial of her entry.
C. didn't belong to the modern world.
D. was energetic amongst people's indifference.
4.The underlined sentence in paragraph 3 best reveals that she ______ .
A. wanted to challenge the guard.
B. fixed more on her purpose than on manners.
C. thought city people disliked long talks.
D. was afraid her accent would be laughed at.
5.Which of the following descriptions is LEAST related to showing the girl's persistence?______
A. She looked dry and narrow as a stalk left after harvest.
B. After that,her eyes never left the gate.
C. She stood aside and waited for the next pair of glasses.
D. At the slightest movement,she sprang up again.
6.How does the writer build up the image of the girl in the passage?______
A. Symbolism B. Parallelism C. Exaggeration D. Contrast
B
And certainly our langage now vsed varyeth ferre from that whiche was vsed and spoken whan I was borne.For we Englysshemen be borne vnder the domynacyon of themone1,whiche is neuer stedfaste,but euer wauerynge,wexynge one season and waneth another season.
And that comyn Englysshe that is spoken in oneshyre2 varyeth from a nother.In my dayes happed that certaynmarchauntes4 were in a shippe in Thames,for to haue sayled ouer thesee3 into Zelande;and for lacke of wynde theytaryed5 atte forlond,and wente to lande for to refreshe them.And one of theym named Sheffelde,a mercer,cam into an hows andaxed6 for mete;and specyally heaxyd7 after egges.And the good wyf answerde that she coude speke no Frenshe.And the marchaunt was angry,for he also coude speke no Frenshe,but wolde haue hadde egges,and she vnderstode hym not.
And thenne at laste another sayd that he wolde haue eyren.Then the good wyf sayd that she vnderstod hym wel.Loo,what sholde a man in thyse dayes now wryte,egges or eyren?Certaynly it is harde to playse euery man,by cause of dyuersite and chaunge of langage.
Tips:
1.In old English,y and i were often used interchangeably.(e.g.certaynly)
2.In old English,v used to be replaced by u where necessary.(e.g.never)
3.Some old words share the same meaning and pronunciation with modern versions.(e.g.wyf)
Explanations for unfamiliar words:
1.mone:moon
2.stedfaste:fixed in a single state
3.Shyre:county
4.marchautes:businessmen
5.taryed:stopped for a while
6.axed:asked
7.Paragraph 1 mainly shows us that English______ .
A. used to be shaped by old ideas about nature.
B. is constantly influenced by the moon.
C. once followed the same order as nature.
D. is subjected to change rather than at rest.
8.Which of the following pictures best illustrates the underlined part in paragraph 1?______
A. B.
C. D.
9.Which of the following is NOT true according to the story in paragraph 2 and 3?______
A. The story shows that the same language may vary from region to region.
B. The housewife couldn't understand the man's French because she spoke it differently.
C. The misunderstanding arose because the two sides used different words for the same thing.
D. The contrast between"egges"and"eyren"indicates linguistic change across areas.
10.What is the main idea of the passage?______
A. It mainly tells how businessmen landed because of bad weather and looked for food.
B. It concerns linguistic change by showing different spellings in various parts of France.
C. It shows English experiences change constantly,making it hard to satisfy every reader.
D. It mainly discusses the spread of French and its influence on English.
C
There are careers in popular music which proceed in a straight,glittering line,and there are others which are tested in fierce fire before they attain their full reputation.Lady Gaga belongs unmistakably to the latter order.To regard her merely as a provider of marvellous performances is to mistake the lightning for the storm.Behind the masks,the stunning concerts,and the uproar of fame,there has long stood a woman of uncommon endurance,who has had to earn,more than once,the right to remain herself.
The gravest trial of her middle career came with ARTPop,issued in 2013,a record born with extravagant ambition and fashioned in ignorance of ordinary taste.Yet,though it opened strongly,it did not win the unanimous applause that had delivered her earlier triumphs.In time,Gaga herself spoke of that season as one of desolation.She recalled becoming deeply depressed,worn out by conflict,and haunted by a sadness so heavy that,in her own description,she could scarcely feel the beat of her heart.On another occasion,reflecting on the same period,she confessed that she had not wished to sing any more.Such words,from an artist built so visibly for the stage,carry the chill of true torture.
It was then that Tony Bennett entered not merely as a collaborator,but as a rescuer of the spirit.Their partnership on Cheek to Cheek did more than widen her range of music talents;it restored to her a simpler faith in music itself.Bennett,by her own repeated witnesses,wanted nothing from her but her friendship and her voice.In an industry governed by appetite,calculation,and noise,such generosity must have seemed almost antique.That an elder statesman of song could steady a younger artist at the brink of inward collapse is one of the more moving episodes in recent musical history.Gaga would say,with no hint of theatrical excess,he had saved her life.
What followed is the true measure of her greatness.She did not vanish into self-pity,nor did she allow one grievous chapter to define the remainder of her story.She worked,adapted,sang in new idioms,acted,endured,and returned.Most touching of all,perhaps,was the reconciliation that came in the summer of 2025,when The Mayhem Ball restored ARTPop songs such as Aura and Applause to her live stage after years of her refusal to play them.It was not only a set-list alteration;it was an act of artistic pardon.She had gone back to the wounded province of her own past and lit it,at last;with acceptance.
For this reason Lady Gaga deserves admiration beyond fashion or fadom (饭圈).She has shown that greatness in art lies not in never falling,but in returning from humiliation with one's voice enlarged,one's dignity protected,and one's courage made visible to the world.
11.What made Gaga' s ARTPOP period especially painful? ______
A. Public reduction of her work to mere display.
B. Mental strain caused by conflict and sorrow.
C. Fading praise,mental collapse,refusal to sing.
D. Weakening and saddened belief in music.
12.What was Tony Bennett's greatest importance to Gaga? ______
A. Renewal of her trust in song.
B. Enlargement of her artistic scope.
C. Repair of her public standing.
D. Escape from a calculating profession.
13.What gave Gaga' s 2025 return to ARTPOP songs its special meaning? ______
A. Recovery of a once-failed record.
B. Recognition of overdue public acceptance.
C. Peace with a painful career experience.
D. Correction of critical opinion on the album.
14.What is the main focus of the passage? ______
A. The burden of fame in pop culture.
B. The healing force of artistic companionship.
C. The later defence of a troubled album.
D. The greatness of persistence through failure.
D
In the last episode of Feud:Bette and Joan(宿敌),a biographical TV series that portrays the life of two legendary actresses,Joan Crawford,on the brink of death,pictures Bette Davis seated across from her table.They play at"Regrets".Joan admits that she was not more generous towards Bette;Bette answers that she wishes she had been a friend to Joan.The sting of the scene lies in the suggestion that two great women,after years of mutual injury,had been made to inhabit a story already written for them:that of the female quarrel,elegant,marketable,and ruinous.Their hostility against each other is sharpened by an industry eager to profit from women at war.
That,I think,is the true matter before us.When women appear in the same field,be it at the Oscars or at a fashion show,the public imagination hastens to cast them as rivals before it allows them to be artists or workers.A handsome gown becomes a weapon;a photograph of two actresses becomes a contest in which one slays and the other sucks;a rumour becomes an entire mythology of jealousy.Recent commentary in American outlets has observed how stubbornly popular culture continues to pit famous women against each other,from old tabloids to the modern Tiktok.
The old Hollywood history of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford fits this pattern with almost indecent neatness.Their hostility was fed by studio publicity,tabloid appetite,and an industry delighted by the scene of two ageing actresses being forced to scrap over diminishing opportunities.The film What Ever Happened to Baby Jane proved a late-career triumph for both,but the triumph itself was narrated through bitterness and insult,as though the public could not endure the thought that two formidable women might occupy the same frame without one devouring the other.The"catfight"was one of its most saleable products.
What has changed since then is chiefly the speed of circulation.Yesterday's gossip columns have become today's comment sections,fan edits,sales charts,and weaponised superlatives.The vocabulary is newer,the instinct antique.Women in music are measured against one another's trophies;actresses are ranked by looks,youth,and desirability;even friendship is reported as strategy and civility as surrender.Such habits train audiences to treat women's public lives as a scarcity drama in which admiration must be rationed and solidarity dismissed as pretence.For media,these narratives are often exaggerated,sometimes invented,but in all cases profitable.
Bette and Joan might have spoken differently had the world not eagerly purchased their hostility.Whenever we say that one actress"overshadows"another,or cheer the supposed feud between female stars as though it were a sporting fixture,we become shareholders in the same shabby(卑鄙的) enterprise.A civilised press ought to describe women as more than mirrors arranged face to face,each reflecting the other into a loser.
15.In paragraph 1,what does the game"Regrets"scene reveal?______
A. Bette and Joan's story was based on historical accuracy,not dramatic effect.
B. Bette and Joan's private regret outweighed the professional rivalry.
C. Bette and Joan's long-standing quarrel was,in the end,completely resolved.
D. Bette and Joan were victims of a narrative reducing them to rivals.
16.In paragraph 3,the feud between Bette and Joan ______ .
A. reflected their disappointment over the reception of Baby Jane.
B. was intensified by an industry that found women's conflict profitable.
C. became famous because people were interested in the life of ageing stars.
D. was less significant itself than the TV retellings that turned it into legend.
17.The underlined part in paragraph 4 means that______ .
A. Despite language change,the habit of shaping women as rivals remains.
B. New words are created for female rivalry earlier generations don't understand.
C. The public today speaks of female stars in a more direct and creative manner.
D. As celebrity culture becomes more refined,the judgement gets more severe.
18.Which of the following best states the central argument of the passage?______
A. The media should avoid female star coverage that draws ill-intended comments.
B. The entertainment industry always depends on personal bitterness to attract audience.
C. The interest in female feuds shows people treat women stars as if they must compete.
D. Female feud has been exaggerated,but it's an unavoidable part of actresses' life.
三、阅读六选四:本大题共4小题,共8分。
Directions:Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A.What made the exchange still more striking was the context.
B.After she had taken silver in both women's slopestyle and big air,a reporter pressed her to say whether these were"two silvers gained"or"two golds lost."
C.Yet the reporter's question was not entirely unfair,for elite sport has always been governed by the ruthless logic that only victory truly satisfies.
D.That attitude deserves notice beyond the snowfield s of Italy.
E.A silver medal,once a distinction enough to crown a career,is now treated by the impatient imagination as a failed gold.The arithmetic is cruel and absurd.
F.Instead,she suggested that the burden of expectation is the unavoidable price paid by every athlete who has once stood at the summit.
At the Milano Cortina Winter Games,Miss Eileen Gu was asked a question that revealed rather more about modern spectatorship than about sport itself.(1)______ Miss Gu answered with admirable calmness that such a view was"a ridiculous perspective to take,"adding that Olympic medals are life-changing in themselves and that she was already doing what no woman in her discipline had done before.The reply travelled swiftly around the world,not merely because it was sharp,but because it struck a nerve.
The young public woman understood,perhaps better than her questioner,the disease of our sporting age:the habit of converting excellence into deficiency(瑕疵).(2)______ By that logic,every athlete but one must be classed as a disappointment,and every triumph must apologise for not being still greater.Such language does not honour but impoverishes competition.Her rebuke was not a flash of vanity,but a defence of proportion.
(3)______ By winning silver in big air on 16 February,Gu became the most decorated female freeskier in Olympic history,reaching five Olympic medals before the Games were even over.A few days later,she defended her halfpipe title and left Italy with one gold and two silvers from these Games,six Olympic medals in all,a record for freeskiering overall.These are not the statistics of a woman in want of vindication.They are the statistics of a champion being punished for setting her own standard too high.
There was,too,something bracingly modern in the spirit of her answer,though the principle itself is old-fashioned enough:that one ought to judge achievement by substance rather than by external expectation.Miss Gu did not ask for forgiveness.She simply refused the mean and fashionable custom of speaking as though greatness counts for little unless it arrives in its most glittering form.(4)______ In an era addicted to superlatives,she restored,for one excellent instant,the dignity of perspective.

四、完形填空:本大题共15小题,共15分。
The sudden death of Zhang Xuefeng has pushed him into the centre of public debate.For many Chinese students and parents,he was not merely an internet educator.He was also a powerful symbol of a highly (23) age,in which college majors were judged mainly by salary,stability,and the chance of entering the civil service.
This is why the debate around him should not end with (24) alone.The real question is whether choosing a university major must be as utilitarian (pursuing investment pay-offs) as he often suggested.Zhang became famous partly because he spoke in a direct and practical way.His remarks on journalism and his claim that"liberal arts are all service industries"caused strong (25) ,and he later apologized.Yet these remarks also won support from many anxious families,because they seemed to offer clear answers in a(n) (26) world.
To be fair,a practical view of education is not entirely wrong.For many ordinary families,especially those without much social capital,a college major is not a(n) (27) choice.It is closely connected with future income,employment pressure,and class mobility.In such cases,it is (28) that parents care about whether a subject can lead to a stable job.A poor family may simply not have the luxury to treat higher education as a(n) (29) adventure.In this sense,Zhang did meet a real social need:he turned hidden information into public advice,and he gave many families a sense of direction when they felt lost.
(30) ,practicality should not become the only standard.The problem with extreme utilitarianism is that it reduces knowledge to a mere tool and turns students into machines designed for the (31) market.A major is then valued only by one question:"Will it help me get a job quickly?"But society changes too fast for such calculations to remain (32) .Today's"safe"major may be overcrowded tomorrow;today's"useless"field may become newly (33) in a different economic or cultural climate.If everyone rushes toward the same options,the result may be not security,but another form of competition and disappointment.
More importantly,education should do more than produce (34) Literature,history,philosophy,journalism,and other humanities subjects may not always lead directly to high salaries,but they help people understand society,language,memory,justice,and the meaning of human life.Without such training,a person may become efficient,yet remain intellectually (35) .A society that laughs at all"useless"knowledge may lose the ability to reflect on itself.
Therefore,college-major selection should be practical,but not blindly utilitarian.Students must consider jobs and reality,yet they should also consider interest,ability,and the deeper value of knowledge.Zhang Xuefeng's popularity showed the anxiety of the age;his death now reminds us of something else:life is short,and education should not be reduced to nothing more than a race for (36) return.Between dream and survival,what young people need is not one extreme or the other,but a wiser (37) .
23.A. developed B. competitive C. digitised D. globalised
24.A. morality B. personality C. employment D. mourning
25.A. approval B. embarrassment C. controversy D. reflection
26.A. uncertain B. diverse C. unique D. massive

During a visit to Beijing many years ago,I had lunch with three PhD students in the Chinese Department at Peking University,all native speakers of Chinese.As I had caught a cold,I tried to write a short note to cancel an afternoon appointment,but suddenly found that I (1) not remember how to write the Chinese characters for the word"sneeze".I asked my three friends to write it for me.To my surprise, (2) of them could do so correctly.Since Peking University is often regarded as the"Harvard of China",the incident was striking.It is difficult to imagine three Harvard PhD students in English literature (3) (forget) how to write the English word"sneeze".This was my first direct encounter with (4) is now widely known in China as"character amnesia":even highly educated people are forgetting how to write common Chinese characters by hand.
By the turn of the twenty-first century,the spread of the internet and the rise of a digitised information environment brought major changes to the use of Chinese characters. (5) the exponential growth of computer memory,Chinese word processing became increasingly routine and convenient.The standard QWERTY keyboard could support not only Pinyin input but also various other entry systems,enabling Chinese characters, (6) alphabetic writing,to function easily in cyberspace.Almost overnight,Chinese users adopted smartphones and tablets,relying on Pinyin input,and speech-to-text technology.
Yet these advances have produced a distinctive problem:nowadays people (7) (lose)the ability to write characters by hand.Certainly,such lapses are not entirely new.Chinese has long had the expression tibi wangzi—"lift the pen,forget the character"— (8) (describe)this tendency.However,the digitally intensified version is more serious than occasionally forgetting a rare or complex character.Even highly literate people now fail to write characters in very ordinary words such as"kitchen","lips","cough",and"broom".
(9) there have been few rigorous empirical studies,informal surveys by China Daily suggest that about 80% of respondents experience character amnesia in daily life.Some research has been launched to explore the causes,though the data remain difficult to evaluate (10) occupations and disciplines.

43.Directions:Reading the following passage.Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words.Use your own words as far as possible.
Above the little town,thin clouds moved slowly across the sky.Tree branches shifted in the wind,and leaves brushed against one another with a dry,faint sound.By the lake,ripples travelled over the water and faded among the reeds at the shore.On the farms beyond the houses,horses kept their heads low in the grass,while cows and sheep stood apart across the open ground.Along the narrow stone road,fences threw broken shadows,and from a few chimneys smoke rose into the air in pale,wavering threads.But all this ended abruptly.
The first interruption came when a delivery truck overturned in the middle of the town.Boxes split open on the ground,and fruit,bottles,and paper packages were thrown across the road.People ran out from nearby shops,while the driver climbed out in shock and stared at the mess around him.The accident soon caused a serious traffic jam in the town centre.Cars stood bumper to bumper along the narrow street,and impatient drivers began pressing their horns again and again.Even people on foot found it difficult to pass as the crowd,the fallen goods,and the waiting vehicles had turned the area into a knot of confusion.
Yet the town had scarcely begun to settle again when another unease,subtler at first,passed from door to door.Curtains were drawn aside.Heads appeared at windows.Beyond the far end of the lake,a thin line of smoke had begun to rise,and soon a red glow showed itself behind the trees.Before long,flames were seen climbing up the side of an old warehouse.The accident caused enormous economic loss to the family who owned the building.Much of their stored grain was destroyed,several pieces of farming equipment were damaged beyond repair,and a large supply of animal feed was reduced to ash.With their grain,tools and supplies ruined,the family faced serious difficulty in carrying on their work.
