People around the world have enjoyed exciting and meaningful sports since ancient times. Here are some examples of ancient sports from different cultures. Egyptian Pharaohs’ Running Race In ancient Egypt, kings demonstrated their physical strength by running during the Sed Festival. This special event took place after a king had ruled for 30 years. For example, Pharaoh Djoser ran around the temple for a long time to prove he was still healthy and strong. Minoan Bull-Leaping The Minoan people created a very dangerous sport called bull-leaping. In this event, athletes would run directly at a charging bull, grab its horns (角) and leap over its back. Wall paintings from the Palace of Knossos show these exciting scenes. Mesopotamian Wrestling Ancient Mesopotamians practiced wrestling and boxing. Stone carvings show strong fighters wearing skirts during matches. These matches were intense, with fighters wrestling like wild animals. Ancient Chinese Archery (射箭) In the Zhou Dynasty’s royal education, archery was a required skill for men. Competitions, called “sheyi”, were held with strict rules and ceremonies. To win, a person needed both physical skill and qualities such as grace, self-control and respect. These contests often took place in temples and served to promote moral values and social order. Although ancient sports varied widely in form and intent, they universally highlighted the value of skill. Beyond mere competition, these activities were deeply integrated into their societies, reflecting cultural beliefs and shaping a sense of community. 1．What do Minoan bull-leaping and Mesopotamian wrestling have in common?

Six years ago, Shan Xiaolong’s admission to Tsinghua University made headlines for his journey from a construction site job to scoring 676 in the Gaokao and securing a place in the Department of Electronic Engineering. On June 30, Shan joined 3,500 fellow undergraduates at the graduation ceremony for the class of 2024. He plans to pursue master’s research in artificial intelligence after graduation. To support his family and fund his education, Shan took up a temporary construction job during summer vacation after his Gaokao, earning a daily wage of 200 yuan ($27. 5). Government student loans and charitable funds were also in place to assist his studies. At Tsinghua, Shan transitioned from a “construction site boy” to a regular student, concentrating himself on his studies. “Coming to Tsinghua, I hope to contribute more to the country, engage in cutting-edge research, and truly make a practical impact on the people,” he said. Inspired by a lecture from Major General Zhu Fengrong, a 1966 Tsinghua alumnus, Shan realized the importance of contributing to the nation and society. This reflection led him to join the People’s Liberation Army Navy during his junior year, seeking a new environment to deepen his understanding and growth. After completing his military service and returning to Tsinghua, Shan served as a counselor for the school’s Student Affairs Office, focusing on supporting students from similar backgrounds. He encouraged them to seize opportunities and pursue their dreams. He also once organized a public welfare classroom in his hometown, offering free instruction to students from economically disadvantaged families. “At Tsinghua, I have seen a larger world than I had ever imagined before, ” said Shan in a thanks letter to a scholarship provider. During college, he participated in overseas exchanges and astronomical research projects, arousing his passion for exploring the frontiers of technology. 4．Why did Shan take up a construction job during his summer vacation?

But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry. “Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body. “Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.” If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. 8．How was Detrinidad’s business when it started? A．It faced tough competition. B．It suffered a great loss. C．It got lots of financial support. D．It went surprisingly well. 9．What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants? A．They appeal more to students. B．They purify the environment. C．They raise the cortisol level. D．They enhance productivity. 10．What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers? A．The necessity of social skills. B．The meaning of sustainability. C．The importance of repeated efforts. D．The value of professional opinions. 11．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Time to Replace Houseplants B．Plants Boost Your Mood C．Tips on Choosing Houseplants D．Plants Brighten Your Home D 【来源】2026届广东六校联盟高三上学期第二次联考英语试卷 Scientists are advancing brain-computer interface (BCI) technology with a breakthrough system that translates inner speech into audible words. Developed by US researchers, this “thought decoder (解码器)” achieved 74% accuracy in converting the imagined speech of four paralyzed volunteers into sound. Unlike earlier BCIs, which relied on brain signals from attempted speech or writing, the new device directly interprets neural patterns linked to phonemes (speech units), aiming to restore fluent communication for those with speech or motor disabilities. The system works by implanting sensors in the motor cortex (运动皮层), the brain region controlling movement, including speech. As volunteers think of words, machine learning algorithms (算法) analyze neural activity to identify phoneme patterns and reconstruct sentences. Stanford neuroscientist Benyamin Meschede-Krasa explains, “If you just have to think about speech instead of actually trying to speak, it’s potentially easier and faster.” Researchers discovered overlapping brain signals between attempted and imagined speech, but the system could distinguish them through probability calculations. For example, it recognized 125,000 words by linking frequent phoneme combinations. “These patterns are a similar but smaller version of attempted speech activity,” notes Stanford’s Frank Willett, adding, “We decoded them well enough to prove the principle, but not as well as attempted speech.” There’s still a long way to go here, and the BCI often fell far short of that 74% maximum accuracy rating. However, by utilizing upgraded implant technology and mapping more of the brain for thought cues, the researchers are confident that the system can be quickly improved over the next few years. Another issue to overcome is the potential for translating, logging, and speaking out inner monologues that are intended to be kept private — not something you want in a BCI. Safeguards like thinking of a special password start and stop decoding could be implemented here, the researchers suggest. This concept was trialed in the experiments with 98 percent accuracy. This follows other progress, such as a recent real-time thought-decoding study (personalized to one individual). “The future of BCIs is bright,” Willett says. “This gives hope that speech BCIs may one day restore communication as fluent and natural as conversational speech.” 12．How does the new BCI system differ from earlier models? A．It uses external sensors instead of implants. B．It requires physical movement to generate speech. C．It relies on brain signals from attempted writing only. D．It directly decodes neural patterns associated with inner speech. 13．What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A．Benyamin Meschede-Krasa invented the new BCI system. B．The motor cortex is only responsible for speaking movements. C．Machine learning plays a key role in linking brain signals to words. D．The new BCI needs users to silently speak words to generate neural signals. 14．What privacy concern is raised about the BCI system? A．It stores thoughts without user approval. B．It might decode unintended private thoughts. C．It cannot differentiate between multiple users. D．It requires users to share mental passwords publicly 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．BCIs: The Future of Medical Implants. B．Breakthrough in Decoding Imagined Speech. C．The Morals of Translating Inner Monologues. D．Overcoming Paralysis Through Brain Technology. 第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 【来源】广东省名校联盟2025-2026学年高三上学期9月调研考试英语试题 I was recently reminded of something I know, but usually don’t have to consider. When people yell at one another, it is very hard to hear. Obviously, I am not intending to be literal. Of course, the volume of yelling ensures that we can hear. 16 That is, if we can get past the yelling to hear even that. At the time of this event, I was just annoyed that people were yelling in the workplace. In hindsight, I can recognize that the yellers were both hurt — even feeling scared, angry, and misunderstood. But I could not hear that at the time due to all of the yelling.Think about the last time you heard someone yell. Now consider the most recent situation in which someone whispered. To which did you attend more? Possibly the yelling because it does sometimes signal danger. 17 My guess…the whisper. 18 ~ Theodore Roosevelt While President Roosevelt was referring to foreign policy, the message is still clear. Yelling and blustering do not garner respect and trust in the long run. Instead, speaking softly, carefully, and clearly — while following through on promises — is much more powerful. I have recently begun meditating (today was day 22). 19 Basically, it teaches drawing back to awareness of “now” each time the mind wanders to the past or future. By now, you may wonder what this has to do with yelling. Many of our emotions stem from past judgments or future worries. 20 We simply experience the now with openness and curiosity — neither gives rise to yelling. Meditation may even help us relate to others in a kind way, which is incompatible with yelling. A．But yelling interferes with hearing the intended message — other than basic emotions like anger or fear. B．This practice focuses on mindfulness and encourages using what’s learned in daily life. C．Speak softly and carry a big stick. D．If we stay in the present, we carry much less emotional baggage. E．However, to which did you attend more closely? F．Mindfulness trains us to control impulsive emotions like anger. G．Yelling often makes others feel attacked and unwilling to communicate. 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题:每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 【来源】广东省深圳市龙华区深圳市致理中学2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题 I never planned on learning Chinese.

Then they cut a channel through Mount Yulei to let out the extra water. During the construction, cutting the channel proved to be a much more challenging task than 38 (anticipate), as the tools available could not break through the hard rock of the mountain.

I’d worked here for just two weeks, but I was always under his watch. “Just me and the chef in the kitchen? I… I’m not sure,” I stammered. John said firmly, “You’ve been watching, learning, and helping with every detail — taking orders correctly, keeping tables clean and handling change. I’m sure you’re ready.” “What if there are accidents?” I asked worriedly. “I’m sure you’ve learned the techniques from the past days,” John replied. Before he rushed out of the restaurant, he added, “Just trust yourself, find ways out and remember to smile.” Taking a deep breath, I straightened my apron (围裙) and walked toward the front of the restaurant. The crowd was starting to walk in — families with kids, couples chatting over coffee, and a few diners buried in their newspapers. The chef gave me a quick nod from the kitchen. The first hour went smoothly. I took orders, refilled drinks, and helped customers make the payments. Then a challenge came. A group of eight — clearly coming for a birthday party — walked in without a reservation. Our small restaurant was already nearly full — there was only a big table and two smaller tables. I led them to the big table by the window, but a lady shook her head and said, “This won’t do. We need space for the cake!” I tried to calm myself down and think hard. Then it hit me. I quickly put two smaller tables together near the window, covering the mismatched edges with a spare tablecloth. “How’s this? Plenty of room for your celebration,” I smiled, remembering John’s last words.

But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry. “Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body. “Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.” If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. 8．How was Detrinidad’s business when it started? A．It faced tough competition. B．It suffered a great loss. C．It got lots of financial support. D．It went surprisingly well. 9．What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants? A．They appeal more to students. B．They purify the environment. C．They raise the cortisol level. D．They enhance productivity. 10．What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers? A．The necessity of social skills. B．The meaning of sustainability. C．The importance of repeated efforts. D．The value of professional opinions. 11．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Time to Replace Houseplants B．Plants Boost Your Mood C．Tips on Choosing Houseplants D．Plants Brighten Your Home 文章导读 文章大意 以 Detrinidad 网店售卖室内植物大获成功为例，引出室内植物产业兴起现象，结合 Knuth 的研究说明植物对情绪、学业及工作效率的积极影响，同时鼓励人们尝试养护植物。 关键词 houseplants（室内植物）、mental health（心理健康）、productivity（生产率）、stress hormone（压力激素）、sick leave（病假） 重难词汇 flooded（adj. 大量涌入的）、cortisol（n. 皮质醇）、academically（adv. 在学业上）、translate into（转化为）、beat oneself up（自责）、sustain（v. 养护）、tend to（照料）、invested in（投入精力于） 复杂句式 1. 英文：Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry. 中文：她的成功只是 “居家时间增加推动室内植物产业爆发” 的一个例子。 2. 英文：Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces. 中文：我们的研究表明，在植物丰富的工作环境中，员工的病假天数减少了 30%。 3. 英文：Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant, which is an exercise in patience and learning. 中文：医生需要执业行医，律师需要执业办案，你也应该允许自己通过实践学会养护植物 —— 这本身就是一种耐心与学习的锻炼。 【答案】8．D 9．D 10．C 11．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Detrinidad的创业经历和专家研究，说明室内植物对人们心理健康和工作效率的积极影响，以及近年来居家趋势推动了室内植物产业的发展。 8．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. (当Sonja Detrinidad开设她的网店售卖室内植物时，她并没有抱太大的期望。但结果却恰恰相反：订单如潮水般涌来，仅在2020年6月就寄出了1200份订单)”可知，Sonja Detrinidad刚开始开网店卖室内植物时，并没有抱太大希望，但实际情况是订单很多，生意出奇地好。故选D。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”(Knuth表示：“身处植物周围的学生，其学业表现比在没有植物的教室里的学生更出色。这种效率提升同样适用于成年人的工作场合。我们的研究显示，在植物丰富的工作环境中，人们的病假率降低了 30%。”)”可知，Knuth的研究发现，接触植物的学生学业表现更好，成年人在植物丰富的工作环境中生产率提高，病假率降低，因此，“植物能提升生产率”是她的发现之一。故选D。 10．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. (Detrinidad说：“医生需要不断实践医术，律师需要持续精进法律实务，而养护植物同样需要给自己练习的机会。照料植物是一种培养耐心和学习的过程。要用心呵护它，但如果它枯萎了，就再养一株新的。”)”可知，Detrinidad通过类比医生和律师需要不断实践来强调“照顾植物需要反复尝试”。她认为养植物失败是正常的，重要的是持续努力。由此推断，她提到医生和律师是为了解释“重复努力的重要性”。故选C。 11．主旨大意题。文章第一段以Detrinidad的成功为例引出室内植物行业的兴起，第二段至第三段通过Knuth的研究说明植物能通过降低皮质醇水平改善心情、提升生产率，第四段鼓励人们尝试养植物。全文核心围绕“植物对情绪和健康的积极影响”展开。选项B“Plants Boost Your Mood (植物改善你的情绪)”最能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选B。 D 【来源】2026届广东六校联盟高三上学期第二次联考英语试卷 Scientists are advancing brain-computer interface (BCI) technology with a breakthrough system that translates inner speech into audible words. Developed by US researchers, this “thought decoder (解码器)” achieved 74% accuracy in converting the imagined speech of four paralyzed volunteers into sound. Unlike earlier BCIs, which relied on brain signals from attempted speech or writing, the new device directly interprets neural patterns linked to phonemes (speech units), aiming to restore fluent communication for those with speech or motor disabilities. The system works by implanting sensors in the motor cortex (运动皮层), the brain region controlling movement, including speech. As volunteers think of words, machine learning algorithms (算法) analyze neural activity to identify phoneme patterns and reconstruct sentences. Stanford neuroscientist Benyamin Meschede-Krasa explains, “If you just have to think about speech instead of actually trying to speak, it’s potentially easier and faster.” Researchers discovered overlapping brain signals between attempted and imagined speech, but the system could distinguish them through probability calculations. For example, it recognized 125,000 words by linking frequent phoneme combinations. “These patterns are a similar but smaller version of attempted speech activity,” notes Stanford’s Frank Willett, adding, “We decoded them well enough to prove the principle, but not as well as attempted speech.” There’s still a long way to go here, and the BCI often fell far short of that 74% maximum accuracy rating. However, by utilizing upgraded implant technology and mapping more of the brain for thought cues, the researchers are confident that the system can be quickly improved over the next few years. Another issue to overcome is the potential for translating, logging, and speaking out inner monologues that are intended to be kept private — not something you want in a BCI. Safeguards like thinking of a special password start and stop decoding could be implemented here, the researchers suggest. This concept was trialed in the experiments with 98 percent accuracy. This follows other progress, such as a recent real-time thought-decoding study (personalized to one individual). “The future of BCIs is bright,” Willett says. “This gives hope that speech BCIs may one day restore communication as fluent and natural as conversational speech.” 12．How does the new BCI system differ from earlier models? A．It uses external sensors instead of implants. B．It requires physical movement to generate speech. C．It relies on brain signals from attempted writing only. D．It directly decodes neural patterns associated with inner speech. 13．What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A．Benyamin Meschede-Krasa invented the new BCI system. B．The motor cortex is only responsible for speaking movements. C．Machine learning plays a key role in linking brain signals to words. D．The new BCI needs users to silently speak words to generate neural signals. 14．What privacy concern is raised about the BCI system? A．It stores thoughts without user approval. B．It might decode unintended private thoughts. C．It cannot differentiate between multiple users. D．It requires users to share mental passwords publicly 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．BCIs: The Future of Medical Implants. B．Breakthrough in Decoding Imagined Speech. C．The Morals of Translating Inner Monologues. D．Overcoming Paralysis Through Brain Technology. 文章导读 文章大意 介绍美国研究人员研发的新型脑机接口（BCI）技术，该技术能将内心语言转化为可听声音，解释其工作原理、与早期模型的区别，指出当前准确率局限及隐私保护问题，并展望未来前景。 关键词 brain-computer interface (BCI)（脑机接口）、inner speech（内心语言）、neural patterns（神经模式）、privacy concern（隐私问题）、accuracy（准确率） 重难词汇 breakthrough（n. 突破）、paralyzed（adj. 瘫痪的）、interpret（v. 解读）、implant（v. 植入）、algorithm（n. 算法）、overlapping（adj. 重叠的）、safeguards（n. 保护措施）、restore（v. 恢复） 复杂句式 1. 英文：Unlike earlier BCIs, which relied on brain signals from attempted speech or writing, the new device directly interprets neural patterns linked to phonemes, aiming to restore fluent communication for those with speech or motor disabilities. 中文：与早期依赖 “尝试说话或书写” 所产生脑信号的脑机接口不同，这款新设备能直接解读与音素相关的神经模式，旨在为有语言或运动障碍的人恢复流畅沟通能力。 2. 英文：As volunteers think of words, machine learning algorithms analyze neural activity to identify phoneme patterns and reconstruct sentences, which is a key part of how the new BCI system works. 中文：当志愿者在脑中想词语时，机器学习算法会分析神经活动，识别音素模式并重组句子 —— 这是这款新型脑机接口系统的核心工作原理之一。 3. 英文：Another issue to overcome is the potential for translating, logging, and speaking out inner monologues that are intended to be kept private — not something you want in a BCI. 中文：需要解决的另一个问题是，该技术可能会将本应保密的内心独白转化、记录并播放出来 —— 这是脑机接口中人们不希望出现的情况。 【答案】12．D 13．C 14．B 15．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国研究人员开发出一种“思维解码器”，能将瘫痪患者想象中的语言转化为声音，实现了74%的准确率，并讨论了其工作原理、当前局限及未来改进方向。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike earlier BCIs, which relied on brain signals from attempted speech or writing, the new device directly interprets neural patterns linked to phonemes (speech units), aiming to restore fluent communication for those with speech or motor disabilities.(与早期依赖尝试说话或写字的脑信号的脑机接口不同，新设备直接解读与音素（语音单位）相关的神经模式，旨在为有语言或运动障碍的人恢复流利的交流。)”可知，新的脑机接口系统与早期模型的不同之处在于它直接解码与内心独白相关的神经模式。故选D。 13．推理判断题。根据第三段“As volunteers think of words, machine learning algorithms (算法) analyze neural activity to identify phoneme patterns and reconstruct sentences.(当志愿者思考单词时，机器学习算法分析神经活动以识别音素模式并重建句子。)”可推断出，机器学习在将大脑信号与单词联系起来的过程中起着关键作用。故选C。 14．推理判断题。根据第六段“Another issue to overcome is the potential for translating, logging, and speaking out inner monologues that are intended to be kept private — not something you want in a BCI.(另一个需要克服的问题是，翻译、记录和说出本应保密的内心独白的潜在可能性——这不是你在脑机接口中想要的。)”可知，脑机接口系统可能存在的隐私问题是它可能会解码意外的私人想法。故选B。 15．主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了美国研究人员开发出一种“思维解码器”，能将瘫痪患者想象中的语言转化为声音，实现了74%的准确率，并讨论了其工作原理、当前局限及未来改进方向。由此可知，B项：Breakthrough in Decoding Imagined Speech(解码想象语言的突破)是最好的标题。故选B。 第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 【来源】广东省名校联盟2025-2026学年高三上学期9月调研考试英语试题 I was recently reminded of something I know, but usually don’t have to consider. When people yell at one another, it is very hard to hear. Obviously, I am not intending to be literal. Of course, the volume of yelling ensures that we can hear. 16 That is, if we can get past the yelling to hear even that. At the time of this event, I was just annoyed that people were yelling in the workplace. In hindsight, I can recognize that the yellers were both hurt — even feeling scared, angry, and misunderstood. But I could not hear that at the time due to all of the yelling.Think about the last time you heard someone yell. Now consider the most recent situation in which someone whispered. To which did you attend more? Possibly the yelling because it does sometimes signal danger. 17 My guess…the whisper. 18 ~ Theodore Roosevelt While President Roosevelt was referring to foreign policy, the message is still clear. Yelling and blustering do not garner respect and trust in the long run. Instead, speaking softly, carefully, and clearly — while following through on promises — is much more powerful. I have recently begun meditating (today was day 22). 19 Basically, it teaches drawing back to awareness of “now” each time the mind wanders to the past or future. By now, you may wonder what this has to do with yelling. Many of our emotions stem from past judgments or future worries. 20 We simply experience the now with openness and curiosity — neither gives rise to yelling. Meditation may even help us relate to others in a kind way, which is incompatible with yelling. A．But yelling interferes with hearing the intended message — other than basic emotions like anger or fear. B．This practice focuses on mindfulness and encourages using what’s learned in daily life. C．Speak softly and carry a big stick. D．If we stay in the present, we carry much less emotional baggage. E．However, to which did you attend more closely? F．Mindfulness trains us to control impulsive emotions like anger. G．Yelling often makes others feel attacked and unwilling to communicate. 【答案】16．A 17．E 18．C 19．B 20．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了吼叫对沟通的负面影响。 16．根据上文“Of course, the volume of yelling ensures that we can hear. (当然，吼叫的音量能确保我们听到声音)”以及下文“That is, if we can get past the yelling to hear even that. (也就是说，即便如此，也得先克服吼叫带来的干扰才能勉强听到那些信息)”可知，此处需转折说明能听到声音不等于能理解核心信息。A选项“But yelling interferes with hearing the intended message — other than basic emotions like anger or fear. (但吼叫会干扰我们理解对方真正想传递的信息——除了愤怒或恐惧这类基本情绪之外)”符合语境。故选A项。 17．根据上文“Possibly the yelling because it does sometimes signal danger. (你可能会更关注吼叫，因为它有时确实是危险的信号)”以及下文“My guess…the whisper. (我猜……是轻声说话)”可知，此处需提出一个与“关注吼叫”相对的疑问，引导读者思考“更专注的关注对象”。E选项“However, to which did you attend more closely? (然而，你对哪一种的关注更深入呢？)”符合语境。故选E项。 18．根据下文“Theodore Roosevelt (——西奥多·罗斯福)”以及“While President Roosevelt was referring to foreign policy, the message is still clear. Yelling and blustering do not garner respect and trust in the long run. Instead, speaking softly, carefully, and clearly —while following through on promises — is much more powerful. (虽然罗斯福总统指的是外交政策，但传达的信息依然明确：长期来看，吼叫和夸夸其谈无法赢得尊重与信任；相反，轻声、谨慎且清晰地表达——同事履行承诺——更有力量)”可知，此处需填入罗斯福的名言，且内容与“轻声表达”相关。C选项“Speak softly and carry a big stick. (轻声说话，手握大棒)”是罗斯福的经典名言，“Speak softly”直接对应下文“speaking softly… is much more powerful”，为后文解读名言做铺垫，符合语境。故选C项。 19．根据上文“I have recently begun meditating (today was day 22). (我最近开始冥想了，今天是第22天)”以及下文“Basically, it teaches drawing back to awareness of  “now” each time the mind wanders to the past or future. (本质上，它教我们每当思绪飘向过去或未来时，将注意力拉回到对‘当下’的感知上)”可知，此处需介绍冥想的核心特点。B选项“This practice focuses on mindfulness and encourages using what’s learned in daily life. (这种练习以正念为核心，并鼓励将所学应用到日常生活中)”符合语境。故选B项。 20．根据上文“Many of our emotions stem from past judgments or future worries. (我们的很多情绪都源于对过去的评判或对未来的担忧)”以及下文“We simply experience the now with openness and curiosity — neither gives rise to yelling. (我们只需以开放和好奇的心态体验当下——这两种心态都不会引发吼叫)”可知，此处需衔接“过去/未来的情绪来源”与“当下的体验”，说明“专注当下”的作用。D选项“If we stay in the present, we carry much less emotional baggage. (如果我们专注当下，就会少背负很多情绪包袱)，符合语境。故选D项。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题:每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 【来源】广东省深圳市龙华区深圳市致理中学2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题 I never planned on learning Chinese.

During the Warring States period, people living along the banks of the Min River were troubled by annual flooding. Irrigation engineer Li Bing 37 (lead) a team to construct an embankment (堤坝) to redirect part of the river’s flow upon thorough investigation. Then they cut a channel through Mount Yulei to let out the extra water. During the construction, cutting the channel proved to be a much more challenging task than 38 (anticipate), as the tools available could not break through the hard rock of the mountain. Therefore, they used a 39 (combine) of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they broke 40 could be removed. Once completed, the system prevented floods and made Sichuan one of China’s most productive 41 (agriculture) regions by using the redirected water 42 irrigation.

I’d worked here for just two weeks, but I was always under his watch. “Just me and the chef in the kitchen? I… I’m not sure,” I stammered. John said firmly, “You’ve been watching, learning, and helping with every detail — taking orders correctly, keeping tables clean and handling change. I’m sure you’re ready.” “What if there are accidents?” I asked worriedly. “I’m sure you’ve learned the techniques from the past days,” John replied. Before he rushed out of the restaurant, he added, “Just trust yourself, find ways out and remember to smile.” Taking a deep breath, I straightened my apron (围裙) and walked toward the front of the restaurant. The crowd was starting to walk in — families with kids, couples chatting over coffee, and a few diners buried in their newspapers. The chef gave me a quick nod from the kitchen. The first hour went smoothly. I took orders, refilled drinks, and helped customers make the payments. Then a challenge came. A group of eight — clearly coming for a birthday party — walked in without a reservation. Our small restaurant was already nearly full — there was only a big table and two smaller tables. I led them to the big table by the window, but a lady shook her head and said, “This won’t do. We need space for the cake!” I tried to calm myself down and think hard. Then it hit me. I quickly put two smaller tables together near the window, covering the mismatched edges with a spare tablecloth. “How’s this? Plenty of room for your celebration,” I smiled, remembering John’s last words. The lady nodded instantly. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Accidents continued to happen, but I tried my best to handle them. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just as I was handing a satisfied customer the bill, John walked in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Accidents continued to happen, but I tried my best to handle them. One customer knocked over his glass, splashing water across the floor. Without panicking, I grabbed a towel, quickly mopped it up, and handed him a fresh drink with a smile. “No worries at all — accidents happen!” I said. I noticed a look of admiration in his face. Another time, the kitchen mixed up an order. I apologized sincerely, had the chef remake it immediately, and even offered a free dessert to make up for the wait. Just as I was handing a satisfied customer the bill, John walked in. He scanned the restaurant — tables full but orderly, guests chatting happily and no signs of chaos. Spotting me, he raised his eyebrows and smiled widely. Then he walked toward me, patted me on the shoulder and announced, “You’ve handled everything perfectly!” Relief washed over me, and pride quickly followed. At that time, I realized that maybe I was ready for more than I thought — I just needed to trust myself to figure things out, with a smile. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了周六上午，餐厅老板约翰临时让工作仅两周的作者代管店铺几小时。作者起初紧张，后谨记约翰“相信自己、保持微笑”的叮嘱，顺利应对顾客点餐结账，还巧妙解决生日派对拼桌、顾客打翻水杯、厨房送错餐等问题，最终获约翰夸赞，也意识到自己比想象中更能干。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“事故仍不断发生，但我尽力去处理它们”可知，第一段可描写作者尽力处理事故的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在我正要把账单递给一位满意的顾客时，约翰走了进来”可知，第二段可描写作者最终获约翰夸赞，也意识到自己比想象中更能干。 2.续写线索：事故发生——尽力处理——约翰来到餐厅——获得约翰夸赞——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①道歉：apologize/make an apology ②淹没：wash over/flood over ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①真诚：sincerely/heartfeltly ②高兴：happily/joyfully 【点睛】[高分句型1] One customer knocked over his glass, splashing water across the floor.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] At that time, I realized that maybe I was ready for more than I thought — I just needed to trust myself to figure things out, with a smile.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 试卷第2页，共23页 试卷第21页，共23页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 【灿烂六月·高考金8卷】 备战2026年高考英语模拟卷02（广东特供卷） 参考答案及评分标准 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 1．C 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．C 6．D 7．C 8．D 9．D 10．C 11．B 12．D 13．C 14．B 15．B 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 16．A 17．E 18．C 19．B 20．D 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 21．C 22．B 23．A 24．D 25．C 26．A 27．B 28．D 29．C 30．A 31．D 32．D 33．B 34．A 35．C 第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 36．engineering 37．led 38．anticipated 39．combination 40．and 41．agricultural 42．for 43．that/which 44．was designed 45．a 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 【参考范文】 【答案】One possible version: Community Book Swap Last weekend, I joined in the Community Book Swap held in our neighborhood square.

People around the world have enjoyed exciting and meaningful sports since ancient times. Here are some examples of ancient sports from different cultures. Egyptian Pharaohs’ Running Race In ancient Egypt, kings demonstrated their physical strength by running during the Sed Festival. This special event took place after a king had ruled for 30 years. For example, Pharaoh Djoser ran around the temple for a long time to prove he was still healthy and strong. Minoan Bull-Leaping The Minoan people created a very dangerous sport called bull-leaping. In this event, athletes would run directly at a charging bull, grab its horns (角) and leap over its back. Wall paintings from the Palace of Knossos show these exciting scenes. Mesopotamian Wrestling Ancient Mesopotamians practiced wrestling and boxing. Stone carvings show strong fighters wearing skirts during matches. These matches were intense, with fighters wrestling like wild animals. Ancient Chinese Archery (射箭) In the Zhou Dynasty’s royal education, archery was a required skill for men. Competitions, called “sheyi”, were held with strict rules and ceremonies. To win, a person needed both physical skill and qualities such as grace, self-control and respect. These contests often took place in temples and served to promote moral values and social order. Although ancient sports varied widely in form and intent, they universally highlighted the value of skill. Beyond mere competition, these activities were deeply integrated into their societies, reflecting cultural beliefs and shaping a sense of community. 1．What do Minoan bull-leaping and Mesopotamian wrestling have in common? A．They followed strict ceremonies. B．They were created to honor kings. C．They were physically demanding. D．They included fighting against animals. 2．What is special about ancient Chinese archery?

B 【来源】广东省四校高三教学质量检测2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题 A student from a humble background who once worked odd jobs on construction sites to relieve his family from burdens has undergone a remarkable transformation through admission and education at China’s top Tsinghua University. Six years ago, Shan Xiaolong’s admission to Tsinghua University made headlines for his journey from a construction site job to scoring 676 in the Gaokao and securing a place in the Department of Electronic Engineering. On June 30, Shan joined 3,500 fellow undergraduates at the graduation ceremony for the class of 2024. He plans to pursue master’s research in artificial intelligence after graduation. To support his family and fund his education, Shan took up a temporary construction job during summer vacation after his Gaokao, earning a daily wage of 200 yuan ($27. 5). Government student loans and charitable funds were also in place to assist his studies. At Tsinghua, Shan transitioned from a “construction site boy” to a regular student, concentrating himself on his studies. “Coming to Tsinghua, I hope to contribute more to the country, engage in cutting-edge research, and truly make a practical impact on the people,” he said. Inspired by a lecture from Major General Zhu Fengrong, a 1966 Tsinghua alumnus, Shan realized the importance of contributing to the nation and society. This reflection led him to join the People’s Liberation Army Navy during his junior year, seeking a new environment to deepen his understanding and growth. After completing his military service and returning to Tsinghua, Shan served as a counselor for the school’s Student Affairs Office, focusing on supporting students from similar backgrounds. He encouraged them to seize opportunities and pursue their dreams. He also once organized a public welfare classroom in his hometown, offering free instruction to students from economically disadvantaged families. “At Tsinghua, I have seen a larger world than I had ever imagined before, ” said Shan in a thanks letter to a scholarship provider. During college, he participated in overseas exchanges and astronomical research projects, arousing his passion for exploring the frontiers of technology. 4．Why did Shan take up a construction job during his summer vacation? A．To gain work experience. B．To learn practical skills. C．To sustain his family and finance his studies. D．To contribute more to the country. 5．How did Shan influence the students from similar circumstances? A．He was able to provide them with practical job advice. B．He encouraged them to contribute to the nation and society. C．He inspired them to chase their goals and grasp any chance. D．He organized support programs to help them adjust to university life. 6．Which of the following best describes Shan’s quality? A．Faithful and ambitious. B．Charitable and devoted. C．Intelligent and innovative. D．Persistent and inspiring. 7．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Power of Education B．A Desire to Contribute to Society C．A Tsinghua-admitted Student from Humble Family D．Opportunities for Social Mobility and Career Advancement C 【来源】广东省揭阳市揭阳三校联考2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题 When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry. “Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body. “Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.” If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. 8．How was Detrinidad’s business when it started? A．It faced tough competition. B．It suffered a great loss. C．It got lots of financial support. D．It went surprisingly well. 9．What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants? A．They appeal more to students. B．They purify the environment. C．They raise the cortisol level. D．They enhance productivity. 10．What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers? A．The necessity of social skills. B．The meaning of sustainability. C．The importance of repeated efforts. D．The value of professional opinions. 11．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Time to Replace Houseplants B．Plants Boost Your Mood C．Tips on Choosing Houseplants D．Plants Brighten Your Home D 【来源】2026届广东六校联盟高三上学期第二次联考英语试卷 Scientists are advancing brain-computer interface (BCI) technology with a breakthrough system that translates inner speech into audible words. Developed by US researchers, this “thought decoder (解码器)” achieved 74% accuracy in converting the imagined speech of four paralyzed volunteers into sound. Unlike earlier BCIs, which relied on brain signals from attempted speech or writing, the new device directly interprets neural patterns linked to phonemes (speech units), aiming to restore fluent communication for those with speech or motor disabilities. The system works by implanting sensors in the motor cortex (运动皮层), the brain region controlling movement, including speech. As volunteers think of words, machine learning algorithms (算法) analyze neural activity to identify phoneme patterns and reconstruct sentences. Stanford neuroscientist Benyamin Meschede-Krasa explains, “If you just have to think about speech instead of actually trying to speak, it’s potentially easier and faster.” Researchers discovered overlapping brain signals between attempted and imagined speech, but the system could distinguish them through probability calculations. For example, it recognized 125,000 words by linking frequent phoneme combinations. “These patterns are a similar but smaller version of attempted speech activity,” notes Stanford’s Frank Willett, adding, “We decoded them well enough to prove the principle, but not as well as attempted speech.” There’s still a long way to go here, and the BCI often fell far short of that 74% maximum accuracy rating. However, by utilizing upgraded implant technology and mapping more of the brain for thought cues, the researchers are confident that the system can be quickly improved over the next few years. Another issue to overcome is the potential for translating, logging, and speaking out inner monologues that are intended to be kept private — not something you want in a BCI. Safeguards like thinking of a special password start and stop decoding could be implemented here, the researchers suggest. This concept was trialed in the experiments with 98 percent accuracy. This follows other progress, such as a recent real-time thought-decoding study (personalized to one individual). “The future of BCIs is bright,” Willett says. “This gives hope that speech BCIs may one day restore communication as fluent and natural as conversational speech.” 12．How does the new BCI system differ from earlier models? A．It uses external sensors instead of implants. B．It requires physical movement to generate speech. C．It relies on brain signals from attempted writing only. D．It directly decodes neural patterns associated with inner speech. 13．What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A．Benyamin Meschede-Krasa invented the new BCI system. B．The motor cortex is only responsible for speaking movements. C．Machine learning plays a key role in linking brain signals to words. D．The new BCI needs users to silently speak words to generate neural signals. 14．What privacy concern is raised about the BCI system? A．It stores thoughts without user approval. B．It might decode unintended private thoughts. C．It cannot differentiate between multiple users. D．It requires users to share mental passwords publicly 15．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．BCIs: The Future of Medical Implants. B．Breakthrough in Decoding Imagined Speech. C．The Morals of Translating Inner Monologues. D．Overcoming Paralysis Through Brain Technology. 第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 【来源】广东省名校联盟2025-2026学年高三上学期9月调研考试英语试题 I was recently reminded of something I know, but usually don’t have to consider. When people yell at one another, it is very hard to hear. Obviously, I am not intending to be literal. Of course, the volume of yelling ensures that we can hear. 16 That is, if we can get past the yelling to hear even that. At the time of this event, I was just annoyed that people were yelling in the workplace. In hindsight, I can recognize that the yellers were both hurt — even feeling scared, angry, and misunderstood. But I could not hear that at the time due to all of the yelling.Think about the last time you heard someone yell. Now consider the most recent situation in which someone whispered. To which did you attend more? Possibly the yelling because it does sometimes signal danger. 17 My guess…the whisper. 18 ~ Theodore Roosevelt While President Roosevelt was referring to foreign policy, the message is still clear. Yelling and blustering do not garner respect and trust in the long run. Instead, speaking softly, carefully, and clearly — while following through on promises — is much more powerful. I have recently begun meditating (today was day 22). 19 Basically, it teaches drawing back to awareness of “now” each time the mind wanders to the past or future. By now, you may wonder what this has to do with yelling. Many of our emotions stem from past judgments or future worries. 20 We simply experience the now with openness and curiosity — neither gives rise to yelling. Meditation may even help us relate to others in a kind way, which is incompatible with yelling.

I’d worked here for just two weeks, but I was always under his watch. “Just me and the chef in the kitchen? I… I’m not sure,” I stammered. John said firmly, “You’ve been watching, learning, and helping with every detail — taking orders correctly, keeping tables clean and handling change. I’m sure you’re ready.” “What if there are accidents?” I asked worriedly. “I’m sure you’ve learned the techniques from the past days,” John replied. Before he rushed out of the restaurant, he added, “Just trust yourself, find ways out and remember to smile.” Taking a deep breath, I straightened my apron (围裙) and walked toward the front of the restaurant. The crowd was starting to walk in — families with kids, couples chatting over coffee, and a few diners buried in their newspapers. The chef gave me a quick nod from the kitchen. The first hour went smoothly. I took orders, refilled drinks, and helped customers make the payments. Then a challenge came. A group of eight — clearly coming for a birthday party — walked in without a reservation. Our small restaurant was already nearly full — there was only a big table and two smaller tables. I led them to the big table by the window, but a lady shook her head and said, “This won’t do. We need space for the cake!” I tried to calm myself down and think hard. Then it hit me. I quickly put two smaller tables together near the window, covering the mismatched edges with a spare tablecloth. “How’s this? Plenty of room for your celebration,” I smiled, remembering John’s last words. The lady nodded instantly. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Accidents continued to happen, but I tried my best to handle them. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just as I was handing a satisfied customer the bill, John walked in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第7页（共10页） 试题 第8页（共10页） 试题 第1页（共10页） 试题 第2页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
