Chen-Ning Yang, a world-famous scientist who won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1957, passed away on 18 October 2025, at the age of 103.
Yang was born in 1922 and moved to Beijing with his family in 1929. He began his university studies in 1938 and received his Master of Science degree from Tsinghua University in 1944. In 1945, he went to the US for further study. After getting his doctor’s degree (博士学位), he continued his physics research and achieved great achievements.
Yang is still considered one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century. Together with Tsung-Dao Lee, Yang was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957. In 1971, Yang made his way back to China. His return encouraged many overseas scientists to do the same, building a bridge for academic (学术的) exchanges between China and the US. Moreover, he offered advice and had a great influence on China’s scientific projects.
Yang also attached importance to training young people. In 1999, he began teaching at Tsinghua University. At the age of 82, Yang still taught four classes a week. Besides teaching, he also gave away his money to support nearly 100 Chinese scientists. These scientists later played important roles in China’s scientific and technological development. Yang said, “My main goal here is to help Tsinghua University train young people and to guide them to follow the right path in study and research. It is a goal worth achieving.”
“Being down-to-earth (务实的) and simple” is Yang’s life rule, as well as his expectation for China’s scientific development. As students, we should follow his example and study hard to serve our country.

When I was little, my father took me out to watch stars. One day we saw a comet! It was my first comet, but not the last one.
My name is Caroline Herschel. I was born in Hanover, Germany in 1750. When I was 22 years old, I went to England to live with my elder brother William. He was a musician. He taught me to sing. In return, I helped him with housework. I practiced singing very hard. Soon I sang in his concerts.
Later, William became interested in astronomy, and our life changed. He read books about space deep into the night. At breakfast, he often told me knowledge about stars. I learned much from him. We worked together on a big project: making telescopes. Telescopes are special tools to see faraway objects.
We heated metal and used special molds to make good mirrors for telescopes. The molds were made from dry horse waste. I had to break it into small pieces. The work was dirty, but I did not care. Someone needed to do it.
It was hard to make the mirrors smooth. William made a machine for this. Once he started working, he kept working for many hours without a break. He had no time to eat. So I fed him and read stories to make him relaxed.
In 1781, William found something amazing—a new planet! King George was very happy. He made William his astronomer. William built a telescope only for me. Then I could look for things in the sky with him.
On August 1, 1786, I found something special too—a comet! I watched it for another night and made sure it was real. People talked a lot about this comet. They called it the Lady’s Comet.
This was the first comet I found. I believed I would find more later.
Historical Note: After Caroline found her first comet, King George gave her money to work as William’s assistant. She was one of the first women astronomers who got paid for her work. From 1786 to 1797, she found seven more comets by herself.
6．Why did Caroline move to England
A．To live with her brother.
B．To study at a music school.
C．To sing at famous concerts.
7．In what order did the following happen in Caroline’s life
a. She discovered her first comet.
b. Her brother built a telescope for her.
c. Her brother became interested in space.
d. She built telescopes together with her brother.
e. She got paid by King George to help with her brother’s work.
A．c﹣d﹣b﹣a﹣e
B．c﹣d﹣e﹣b﹣a
C．c﹣b﹣d﹣a﹣e
8．How many comets did Caroline discover by herself
A．One.
B．Seven.
C．Eight.
9．Which of the following best describes Caroline and William’s working relationship
A．Caroline gave William more help.
B．They were important to each other’s success.
C．William took care of most of the work.
It’s a common belief that fish can’t remember anything for longer than seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that every moment in their lives would be like seeing the world for the first time. But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have much better memories than we used to think.
In the study, researchers in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They took the fish out and then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. But there was no clear evidence until the latest findings.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that there is safe food in a certain area, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger,” the lead researcher Trevor Hamilton said.
So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel closer to them—they may remember who you are.
10．What do most people think of fish’s memory
A．Fish can remember things for a long time.
B．Fish only remember for seven seconds.
C．Fish have the best memory in nature.
D．Fish can remember their owners well.
11．Why did the researchers carry out the research
A．To know if fish can find food easily.
B．To find out if fish have better memories.
C．To tell us fish can live for days without water.
D．To show fish can live long without eating things.
12．Which of the following is TRUE according to Trevor Hamilton
A．Fish don’t know where to get food.
B．It’s easy for fish to live in the wild.
C．A good memory can make fish safer in the wild.
D．Fish are often in danger when they look for food.
13．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Fish have better memory than we thought.
B．Canadian scientists love African fish.
C．Fish are the cleverest animals in the world.
D．We should protect African cichlids.
Have you ever wondered why you can remember your childhood birthday parties clearly but forget a new phone number within 10 seconds Human memory is an amazing and complex (复杂的) ability that shapes our daily lives, learning and growth, and it has always been a hot research field for scientists.
Memory can be divided into short-term memory and long-term memory, and their functions are quite different. Short-term memory only stores a small amount of information temporarily (暂时地). Scientific research shows that the average adult’s short-term memory can only hold 5 to 9 pieces of independent information at a time, and this information will disappear quickly if not repeated in time. For example, when you look up a phone number and dial it immediately, you make use of short-term memory, but you may forget it completely after hanging up. But long-term memory can store almost endless things. It can store knowledge, experiences and skills for many years, even a lifetime. A typical example is that many elderly people can clearly recall every detail (细节) of their first day at school more than 60 years ago.
Dr. Linda Smith, a famous cognitive psychologist (认知心理学家) at Indiana University, pointed out: “Memory is not a simple box for keeping things, but a busy and active system. If you learn things again and again, try to remember things actively, and link new ideas with old knowledge, you can make your long-term memory much stronger.” This view explains why students who review their lessons regularly do better in exams than those who stay up late to study right before exams.
★How can students improve their memory effectively
First, get enough sleep. Teenagers should sleep eight to nine hours every night, as the brain makes memories stronger during rest. Staying up late harms memory badly. Second, review actively. You can retell knowledge or draw mind maps without books. This helps your memory more than simple reading. Third, divide learning tasks—memorize 10 new words each time instead of 50, to reduce short-term memory pressure. Proper daily exercise and brain-healthy food like nuts and fish also help a lot.
14．What is the purpose of the first question at the beginning
A．To show the writer’s rich knowledge. B．To attract readers and introduce the topic.
C．To explain the fact of daily life. D．To give an example of poor memory.
15．Why can many elderly people clearly recall every detail of their first day at school over 60 years ago
A．They eat brain-healthy food from an early age.
B．They receive training from cognitive scientists.
C．They have a strong short-term memory ability.
D．They keep the information in long-term memory.
16．What can we learn from the passage
A．Staying up late does no harm to our memory.
B．Repeated learning helps improve long-term memory.
C．Short-term memory can store endless information.
D．It is impossible to improve our memory.
17．What is the best title of the passage
A．The Secrets of Human Memory B．Different Ways of Daily Study
C．A Great Cognitive Psychologist D．How to Get Better Grades
Scientists have found out that several kinds of foods, including fruit, vegetables with green leaves, and orange and red vegetables, are good for memory.
Researchers from Harvard University have found that the men who kept eating those fruits and vegetables were more likely to have better memory than the men who seldom ate them. The study followed about 27,800 men in health care jobs for over 20 years, and surveyed them on their diets and other health-related topics every four years.
Towards the end of the study, the researchers started asking them questions about their memory. For example, “Do you have more trouble than usual remembering a short list of things, such as a shopping list ” or “Do you have more trouble than usual following a group conversation or a story in a TV programme because of your memory ” “A growing number of ‘yes’ answers to such questions can mean their memory is declining,” the researchers said.
The participants (参与者) were divided into five groups, based on how many servings (份) of vegetables and fruit they got each day, from six servings in the healthiest group to just two servings. The six-serving eaters were 34 percent less likely to be forgetful. And the results were even better if the men happened to eat carotenoids (类胡萝卜素) —rich vegetables, such as carrots and pumpkins. Besides, those drinking orange juice often were 47 percent less likely to become forgetful, compared with those drinking orange juice less than once a month.
“Our studies prove that diet choices can be important to keep your brain healthy,” researchers said.

As we grow up, we may find some of the best lessons come from everyday life.
My father was the gentlest and most caring dad in the world. But when we argued, he became strict and never thought that there could be another side. My words seemed to reach no one because his ears were closed. I could never win.
When my father refused to understand that I needed privacy (隐私) for my phone, I felt frustrated and even cried. Later, when he refused to let me go on my last-year class trip to Montreal, I could do nothing but run out of his room in great sadness. I couldn’t get him to listen to my side. Maybe he would read it.
Hoping his eyes would be more open than his ears, I wrote a note that began “Dear Daddy” and ended with how much I respected his opinion, hated to fight with him, valued our relationship, and loved him. I put the note under his door and raced back to my room.
Minutes later, there was a knock at my door. Seeing my father’s face, I knew my note had softened his strictness and touched his heart.
Getting his agreement to go to Montreal was sweet. Even better was discovering a way to argue with him without tears, ending with a hug instead. My “Dear Daddy” notes became a way to follow up on many of our arguments. During our most heated disagreements, I knew how to get through to him, but his firm final word left me speechless.
Years later, my father and I still share those sweet memories about my “Dear Daddy” notes. Whenever we look back on our heated disagreements and how those little notes helped him finally understand me, we can’t help smiling. He never said he knew my little plan, but I could always tell he loved every note that helped him see my way. To this day, those notes remain one of my favourite stories between us.

Maybe you usually have a hard time getting along with your siblings (兄弟姐妹). There are many kids with similar experiences all over the world, and you’re not alone.
It’s completely normal that sometimes you and your sibling won’t see eye to eye. There are ways to deal with it. When you feel that a fight is about to happen, the first step is to imagine a “pause button (暂停按钮)” in your mind which means giving you and your siblings a chance to calm down, think and then excuse each other.
“Have a good think about why the two of you don’t get on with each other. Try to talk when you both cool down,” says Dr Owen, a researcher in how children develop. “Tell them how you feel. You could say, ‘It really hurts me when you make jokes about me.’ If the trouble carries on, talk to a trusted adult.” Then you can work together to find a useful way and get through the hard times. Finally, offering a helping hand when your brother or sister meets problems is also useful.
Relationships with your siblings can help you practice social skills. Having a good relationship with them can help you communicate with other people, and understand other people’s feelings. You can also learn how to accept differences. It is very useful in the real world.
All families are different. What if you don’t have siblings That doesn’t mean you won’t experience the advantages people get from having a brother or sister. There are ways to help only children develop these skills too.

On 15 June, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that in the UK, social media services will soon be banned (禁止) for anyone under 16 years old.
The Government will set the age limit (限制) at 16 for social media platforms (平台), similar to the social media ban in Australia. It affects platforms where users can interact with each other, including TikTok, YouTube, Facebook and X, etc. Children will still be able to use the internet for learning, games, reading news and staying in touch with friends and family.
The Government will also look at introducing rules for those under 18, such as limits on using social media late at night and on tools that keep users online. The first set of rules could be in force in spring 2027.
The Government said there was a lot of public need for action. Nine in ten parents who took part in a survey backed a social media ban for under-16s. Two thirds of young people also agreed that under-16s should not be allowed to use some social media platforms. The Government said the ban should improve children’s health, reduce the dangers of going online and give them the chance to have a healthier childhood.
Starmer said, “Social media is making children unhappy.” He said it can stop children from doing homework, reading and playing with friends outside.
UK teaching groups also support the ban. However, some organizations have warned that a total ban could leave some young people feeling isolated.
Young people have different opinions. George,14, thinks the ban “isn’t going to be very effective” because young people may find a way around it. Olivia,13, said the ban is “not a bad thing, but it’s not a good thing either”. Riley, also 13, said he was “quite angry”, while Adrian, 14, said he was “over the moon” and looked forward to seeing how life would change.
35．What will children under 16 still be allowed to do
A．Stay online late at night. B．Use the internet for learning.
C．Use all social media platforms. D．Open new social media accounts.
36．What did the survey show
A．Most parents supported the ban. B．Most young people disliked the ban.
C．Few parents cared about the problem. D．All young people wanted stricter rules.
37．What does the underlined word “isolated” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A．Tired. B．Excited. C．Relaxed. D．Lonely.
38．Which is the best title for the text
A．Why Teenagers Like Social Media
B．Social Media Ban for Under-16s
C．How Young People Use the Internet
D．The Most Popular Social Media Apps

Li Tao is a Grade 9 student. He used to find English difficult and boring. He couldn’t remember new words and hated reading passages. But things changed when his school started an “English Lantern-Making” class last term.
The class lets students learn English while making traditional Chinese lanterns. Every Thursday afternoon, the students discuss the history of lanterns, paper-cutting skills and the steps of making them in English. At first, Li Tao was too afraid to speak up. He worried he would mix up words or make grammar mistakes.
However, his teacher, Mr Chen, smiled and said, “Don’t be afraid! Using English to talk about our Chinese culture is a great way to learn, and it’s useful and fun.” Encouraged, Li Tao began to practise. He read English articles about lanterns and talked with his classmates about how to fold paper.
Slowly, he became confident. Last month, he even showed his lantern at the school show and introduced it in English successfully. “Now I can remember words like ‘paper-cut’ and ‘fold’ easily,” Li Tao said.
Now, Li Tao’s English grades have improved and he loves Chinese culture more. He hopes more schools will offer such classes. “When English is part of our life and culture, learning it becomes easier than before,” he added. “It’s not just about exams anymore. It’s about sharing our stories with the world.”
Yesterday, Li Tao helped his little sister make a small lantern. He explained each step in English. He now knows that the best way to learn a language is to use it in meaningful ways. For Li Tao, English is no longer a boring subject. It’s a tool to express his love for his culture.

Huangmei Opera is a traditional Chinese opera that starts in Anhui and Hubei provinces. At first, it is just a kind of folk song sung by farmers while picking tea or working in the fields. Over time, it becomes a stage art with acting, costumes, and music. More and more artists join in and make it richer.
Its name comes from Huangmei County (黄梅县) in Hubei Province, where this singing style is popular.
Soft Melodies (旋律) and Simple Words
Unlike many operas with loud or difficult singing, Huangmei Opera has soft, sweet, and easy-to-understand melodies. The songs often sound like gentle talking. That’s why even new audiences find it easy to enjoy.
The language is close to daily speech, and the music uses simple instruments like the gaohu and drums and gongs. Listeners can quickly follow the stories without much difficulty.
Famous Stories with Heart
Many Huangmei Opera plays are about love, family, and kindness. They talk about warm and touching stories that people can connect with.
Some well-known plays include:
*The Marriage of the Fairy Princess (《天仙配》), about a goddess who marries a human.
*The Emperor’s Female Son-in-law (《女驸马》), about a woman who was dressed as a man to save her lover.
These stories are not only full of feelings, but also often have humour and clever ideas. They show people’s wishes for a happy life.
A Popular Opera Style Today
Huangmei Opera became widely popular in the 1950s after coming out in films and TV shows. Its clear tunes (曲调) made it a popular art form across China.
Today, it is still performed in theatres, schools, festivals, and even on different shows. As a National Intangible Cultural Heritage (国家非物质文化遗产), young learners also start to learn it in some art classes.

①In ancient times, people loved sweet food, for it provided plenty of energy. Today, people still look for sweet snacks, even though too much sugar causes health problems such as tooth problems and poor memory. Many people wonder whether changing eating habits can undo such harm.
②An Australian team has given some surprising answers. Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney studied how diet changes affected memory and brain function.
③The researchers looked at 27 studies on animals to check whether memory function could recover after the animals change from unhealthy to healthy diets. “Our findings show that improving diet quality did benefit memory. However, those improvements were incomplete,” said Simone Rehn, one of the researchers of the study. “Even after weeks on a healthy diet, the animals’ memory didn’t return to the normal level seen in those that had never eaten an unhealthy diet.”
④The researchers found animals that moved to a healthy diet performed better on memory tasks than those that continued eating high-fat or high-sugar foods. But the recovery depended heavily on what they used to eat. If the animals had only eaten high-fat diets, their memory improved greatly after the change. However, if their diet was high in sugar, or a mix of high fat and high sugar, their memory hardly recovered.
⑤ “This suggests sugar may be a key factor in limiting memory recovery,” Rehn explained.
51．How does the writer lead into the topic
A．By offering advice. B．By presenting study results.
C．By comparing different diets. D．By talking about people’s love for sweet food.
52．What does the underlined word “undo” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Remove the effects of. B．Accept the results of.
C．Increase the risks of. D．Check the causes of.
53．What did the Australian researchers find
A．Healthier animals had better memory.
B．Fat had no influence on memory recovery.
C．Healthy diets helped memory recovery in part.
D．Animals’ memory depended more on fat than sugar.
54．Which diet may limit memory recovery most
A．Low-salt diet. B．High-salt diet. C．Low-sugar diet. D．High-sugar diet.
55．Which of the following shows the structure of the text
A．①②→③④→⑤ B．①→②③④→⑤
C．①→②→③④⑤ D．①②③→④→⑤
What you eat affects more than just your body. It also has a great influence on your memory. Two recent studies suggest unhealthy diets can harm the brain, and that the harm is sometimes really hard to recover (恢复) from.
Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney reviewed 27 studies about animals. They found that changing to a healthy diet did improve memory, but the improvement was often not very complete. Even after weeks of healthy eating, the animals’ memories still couldn’t match those of animals that had never eaten unhealthy food. They also found that memory recovery depended on the type of unhealthy food. High-fat foods allowed some recovery, but high-sugar foods and foods that were high in both fat and sugar failed to do that. This suggests that ▲ .
The other study, from Edith Cowan University, looked at salt’s effects on memory. Researchers studied more than 1,200 people for over six years in a row. They found that men who ate more salt experienced a faster drop in their episodic (情景的) memory. This kind of memory can help people to remember personal events — like the first day of their school life or their cars’ parking places.

What you eat affects more than just your body. It also has a great influence on your memory. Two recent studies suggest unhealthy diets (饮食) can harm the brain, and that the harm is sometimes really hard to recover (恢复) from.
Researchers at the University of Technology Sydney reviewed 27 studies about animals. They found that changing to a healthy diet did improve memory, but the improvement was often not very complete. Even after weeks of healthy eating, the animals’ memories still couldn’t match those of animals that had never eaten unhealthy food. They also found that memory recovery depended on the type of unhealthy food. High-fat foods allowed some recovery, but high-sugar foods and foods that were high in both fat and sugar failed to do so. This suggests that ▲ .

They found that men who ate more salt experienced a faster drop in their episodic (情节的) memory. This kind of memory can help people to remember personal events — like the first day of their school life or their cars’ parking places.

I made a place for Friday to sleep between the two fences around my house so that he could not attack me during the night. However, this was not necessary, for Friday was the most faithful servant you could imagine. He was also a very good student and quickly learned everything that I taught him.

I also asked him about the voyages they made across the sea, and I discovered where we were. The land I could see from the other side of the island was Trinidad. He told me that he knew about white men living a long way away. I could get there in a large canoe.

What had Captain Nemo seen I saw it, too. At first, I thought it was a shark. Instead, it was a small boat. A pearl (珍珠) fisher was diving from it into about fifteen meters of water. He put about ten oysters in a bag. Then, he had to go back to the boat for air. We watched him do this several times. He had seen a very large shark. It was coming at him, ready to attack. He quickly avoided its open mouth and sharp teeth, but it hit him with its tail. Captain Nemo stabbed the shark with his knife, and the shark's blood made the water red.

Have you found out your SBTI type yet Recently, the SBTI personality test, inspired by the MBTI assessment (评估), has drawn widespread attention. Designed only for entertainment purposes, it takes just minutes to finish and generates humorous labels such as monk, joker and ATM-er.
Why are we drawn to personality tests The answer lies in the deep-seated psychological need they promise to satisfy. The drive to understand oneself continues throughout life, as we constantly wonder who we are and where we belong. Personality tests are a simple way to get answers to these difficult questions. “Particularly with young people, they’re trying to form an identity, a sense of themselves and how they fit into the world, and how they differ from other people,” David Watson, a psychology professor from the University of Notre Dame, told Business Insider.
Moreover, clear classification (分类) brings satisfaction. Humans tend to organize the world through grouping, and personality tests give us a new label beyond gender, birthplace or zodiac sign (星座). These tests also work as a social bond: They help people connect with like-minded peers (同龄人), express their inner selves and strengthen emotional ties in daily communication.
Rigid (僵化的) personality labeling carries hidden risks. If we trap ourselves in a fixed type, we may limit personal growth and use labels to excuse our wrong behavior as “just ESTP things”. Moreover, personality can change over time, yet seeing ourselves purely through these categories blinds us to such changes. “While there’s nothing wrong with taking a personality test for fun, out of curiosity or even to explore aspects (方面) of your identity, it’s important not to get too attached to the labels—lest they become all that you are,” researchers Kelvin Wong and Chen Wenting wrote on The Conversation.
81．According to Watson, why do young people take personality tests
A．To justify their behavior.
B．To pass the time and have fun.
C．To explore the meaning of life scientifically.
D．To gain a better understanding of themselves.
82．What social function do personality tests serve
A．They help people stand out more easily.
B．They replace traditional identity markers.
C．They strengthen ties within a community.
D．They encourage people to challenge social norms.
83．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Young people are the most affected by rigid labels.
B．Fixed mindsets may hold back personal growth.
C．Tests often fail to show one’s true character.
D．Personality tests should be taken more seriously.
84．What is the author’s main purpose in the article
A．To promote a method. B．To make a comparison.
C．To analyze a phenomenon. D．To correct misconceptions.
