His teacher Qian Zhongshu commented on his poetry translation, “You are dancing while chained by rhyme and rhythm, but the dance shows amazing freedom and beauty, which is quite impressive.”Since 1978, Xu had published more than 100 translated works in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers at home and abroad. Most notably, he translated Chinese poems into rhymed verses in both English and French. He was also the first Asian winner of the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature.Xu was known to be very fastidious in his work. For him, English is a “ scientific” language that needs exactness while Chinese is an “artistic” language that includes a wider range of content. Following this principle, Xu kept not only faithfulness in the sense but beauty in sensibility in his translation.Through Xu’s translations, time-honored Chinese wisdom has made an impact on Western societies and the world. For example, when former US president Barack Obama tried to begin a healthcare project during his presidency, some senators disagreed at first. But after reading the poem titled Fishing in Snow translated by Xu, one senator was so impressed with the fisherman’s independent thinking that he chose to part with the party line to support Obama.Having made such great achievements, Xu maintained a routine. Every day he translated about1, 000 words, working till 3 to 4 a. m., sleeping for about 3 hours and getting up at 6 a. m. to continue.“ Translation is a means of communicating with the writer’s soul. A sudden flicker of a good word or a good line thrills every pore (毛孔) and every inch of my skin,” Xu said.4. What does the text tell us about Xu Yuanchong?A. He mastered at least three foreign languages.B. He translated about 100 Chinese works into English.C. He was the first winner of the Aurora Borcalis Prize.D He was widely known for his translated rhymed verses.5. What does the underlined word “fastidious” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Particular. B. Satisfied. C. Inventive. D. Productive.6. Why does the author give the example in Paragraph 4?A. To recommend Xu’s translation works. B. To stress the charm of Chinese poetry.C. To show Xu’s great translation skills. D. To prove the wisdom of the ancient Chinese.7. Which of the following words can best describe Xu?A. Thoughtful and modest. B. Generous and objectiveC. Creative and open-minded. D. Devoted and hard-working.COne day, there’ll be no need for you to brush your teeth by hand. Instead, a group of billions of nanoparticles (纳米粒子) could automatically do all that work for you. It would be especially life-changing for people who find it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.Steager, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo, an inventor and dental researcher there, found a way to form the nanoparticles into long, skinny bristles (刷毛), a lot like the ones an a toothbrush. But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.The tooth- cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets (磁铁). One goes each side of the teeth. The nanoparticles sit in a liquid between the magnets. When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles move randomly in the liquid. As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles gather together near its center. When the researchers turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles. When there’s a tooth in the way, these bristles can’t stretch out as far as they want. So they push against the tooth’s surface. If there’s a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth. All that motion cleans the teeth. As a bonus, the nanoparticles also have strong power to kill viruses.The new device is just a proof of concept. The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use. “There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there, but every good idea needs to have a start.” says Steager.8. What is special about the tooth cleaner?A. It’s water-resistant. B. It looks like a toothbrush.C. It’s appearance-changeable. D. It contains skinny bristles.9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The bristles’ formation. B. The working principle.C. The virus-killing process. D. The magnets’ motion.10. How does Steager feel about the future of the device?A. Uncertain. B. Unfavorable. C. Concerned. D. Positive.11. Which of the following would be the best title?A. A Shape-Shifting Robotic Tooth CleanerB. Magnetic Nanoparticles for Tooth GrowthC. A New Concept for Automatic Health CareD. An Antibacteria Liquid Tooth cleaner for AdultsDNot only is sleep a common topic of our small talk, we’ve also spent decades trying to understand and explain it. After all, we spend an average of 26 years of our lives sleeping. Here are the important findings of the last decade of research.A particularly interesting finding is in the study of lucid dreaming (清醒梦)— it seems possible to communicate with people while they’re sleeping. In a study called “Real-time dialogue between experimenters and dreamers”, researchers asked questions to participants (参与者) in a lucid dream. The dreamers signaled the answers using pre-agreed eye or facial movements. They were accurate, suggesting they could access their cognitive (认知) functions such as working memory while sleeping. This interaction between dreamworld and reality has brought excitement to sleep experts.Sleep can also help our memory and problem-solving. A 2023 research by Denis and Cairney noted that brain regions that are used to learn new things, are reactivated during sleep. That means that while we’re sleeping, our brains go over our daily experiences, which is considered important for keeping memories. And, if you’ve ever felt it was best to sleep on a tricky problem and solve it in the morning, you might have scientific backing! A 2019 study by Sanders found that people were more likely to solve a tricky problem the next day if the problem had been activated in their brains during sleep. So, if you’re stuck, rest up and return to it in the morning.What if you’ve trouble falling asleep? Unfortunately, you may be at higher risk of negative moods and worse emotional regulation, according to a 2021 study. The good news is there are plenty of tips to help you overcome your sleep difficulty. Experts recommend having a set time to start lying down, meditating (冥想) before bed, and avoiding caffeine before bed.12. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Dreaming has little connection to reality.B. Lucid dreaming is a common experience.C. People can communicate with others while dreaming.D. People can control their dreams in lucid dreaming.13. What does Denis and Cairney’s research suggest?A. Sleep helps the brain learn better. B. People dream a lot during their sleep.C. Lack of sleep has negative effect on mood. D. People forget most of daily events during sleep.14. Why might sleeping help solve problems?A. The brain learns better at night.B. The brain has a good rest during sleep.C. Sleeping allows the brain to process daily events,D. Sleepers have more time to think about the problem.15. What is recommended to improve sleep quality?A. Have a regular bedtime routine. B. Exercise for some time before bed.C. Stay awake for longer during the day. D. Avoid talking about sleep in the daytime.第二节 （共5 小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Without these things, our daily lives would look much different.

Don’t worry. Go to school first, and I will bring the rice later.”Several days later, Jane arrived at the school with a bag of rice.
