I've only started this channel this week, so i'm sort of nervous in front of the camera. Anyway, I want to share with you everything I know about health today. I want to talk to you about how to feel Younger. I am in my mid forties, yet I feel as energetic as I did when I was eighteen. So what is my secret? It's not really a secret. It's a combination of exercise, healthy eating and rest. Sleep is the most important aspect of all of this. I imagine many of you get around six hours of sleep a night. You might stay up late watching T, V, playing video games or just browsing your phone. What I suggest is setting an alarm an hour before you go to bed. That alarm is to remind you to stop looking at electronic screens. They produce blue light, which can prevent you from going to sleep. I would also suggest not eating or drinking anything two hours before bad time. If you are restless, a glass of milk can help to settle you, but no tear coffee as they will keep you awake. Lastly, start your day on a positive note. With half of an hour of exercise, IT may not seem like a lot, but over time, I will dramatically improve your health. Now, if you have any questions, just type them on the screen. Hello, everyone, welcome. I've only started this channel this week, so i'm sort of nervous in front of the camera.

However, the education comes at a relatively low tuition fee , especially compared to similarly top - ranked education hot spots worldwide! In order to prepare for your study, take a look at the student budget. Please check out the exact costs in the universities you are going to apply for. Student budget in Switzerland Tuition fee CHF500 — 2,000 per semester, depending on universities Supplies CHF100 per month Food CHF600 per month Accommodation CHF700 per month Clothes and personal items CHF150 per month Health insurance CHF90 per month Others（phone, internet, transport） CHF200 per month Programme Duration & ECTS Switzerland — like all other European countries — uses the “European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System” (ECTS). It is designed to award credit points according to the achievement of learning outcomes. Put in simple terms: To get a degree, you have to get all the required credit points .The ECTS credit point system allows students to have their achievements easily recognized in other European countries. One ECTS credit point equals on average between 25 and 30 hours (workload). 60 credits are assigned to one year of full-time study. 180 credits are required for a bachelor degree and it takes three years of full-time study. A master’s degree is worth 90 — 120 credits and takes 1.5 — 2 years of full-time study. Working While Studying Foreign students may work a maximum of 15 hours per week during their studies, and up to 100 per cent during semester breaks. This must be reported, in all cases, to the responsible authorities and apply for a work permit. Students from outside the EU/EFTA region may only start working six months after the beginning of their studies. 21．How much will a student spend on food and accommodation each month? A．About CHF600. B．About CHF700. C．About CHF800. D．About CHF1,300. 22．What can be learned about the so-called ECTS credit points? A．They are only awarded to international students. B．They are widely accepted in European universities. C．180 ECTS credits are required for a master’s degree. D．Students have to study 20 hours to get one ECTS credit. 23．What should a Chinese student do if she wants to work in Switzerland? A．Get an EU/EFTA card. B．Limit work hours to 25. C．Apply for a work permit. D．Look for work on arrival. 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍瑞士留学的费用预算、ECTS学分体系以及留学生的打工规定，为准备赴瑞留学者提供参考。 21．细节理解题。根据“Student budget in Switzerland”表格中的信息，“Food”每月CHF600，“Accommodation”每月CHF700，两者每月总花费为600 + 700 = CHF1300。故选D项。 22．细节理解题。根据“Programme Duration & ECTS”部分中的“The ECTS credit point system allows students to have their achievements easily recognized in other European countries.(ECTS学分体系能让学生的学业成绩在其他欧洲国家轻松得到认可)”可知，ECTS学分在欧洲大学中被广泛接受。故选B项。 23．细节理解题。根据“Working While Studying”部分中的“Foreign students may work a maximum of 15 hours per week during their studies, and up to 100 per cent during semester breaks. This must be reported, in all cases, to the responsible authorities and apply for a work permit. Students from outside the EU/EFTA region may only start working six months after the beginning of their studies.(外国学生在学习期间每周最多可以工作15个小时，在学期休息期间最多可以工作100%。但无论何种情况，都必须向主管部门报备并申请工作许可。来自欧盟/欧洲自由贸易联盟以外地区的学生，需在入学六个月后才能开始打工)”可知，中国学生若想在瑞士打工，需申请工作许可。故选C项。 B 【来源】辽宁省沈文新高考研究联盟2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题 I’m James. Burned out from work, I found life had become flat and that I desperately needed something to shift my focus. One night I came across a website recommending scuba (水肺) diving lessons. I hadn’t ever thought much about the idea of diving before; but its complete unfamiliarity fueled my interest; I decided to give it a shot, and I had my training lessons at an indoor swimming pool. After completing the courses, I felt a sense of great satisfaction and accomplishment for overcoming the initial fear and discomfort of breathing underwater. Knowing I hadn’t yet experienced what real scuba diving is all about, I spent hours researching where the best places to dive were. Before I knew it, I was on an airplane to Belize. Less than 24 hours after my arrival, and minutes into my first ocean dive, I was literally diving head first into the deep end, finding myself 80 feet underwater. It’s the kind of extraordinary water having such great visibility that you can see clearly for hundreds of feet around you. Within minutes our 4-person dive group was surrounded by numerous nurse sharks, a moray eel (海鳗), large groupers and sea turtles. I was madly in love with scuba diving. As we reached the bottom, a lone nurse shark swam right under me. More started to arrive. Just as I was shooting pictures of the action and not paying attention to anything or anyone else around, I looked up to see a bright green threatening face headed straight for me. He wasn’t the least bit shy. He had apparently never heard of personal space. After he decided to swim by me without causing any bodily harm, I was both relieved and excited. This will always be that one special dive that changed everything and I get to watch it any time I find myself missing the water. 24．What pushed James to try scuba diving? A．Thirst for fresh experiences. B．Love for underwater events. C．Cut-throat career challenges. D．Online low-price campaigns. 25．What do we know about James’s first ocean dive? A．He didn’t use former diving skills. B．He didn’t adopt a gradual strategy. C．He found the best diving location. D．He made friends with other divers. 26．Why did James mention sea animals? A．To underline their diversity. B．To introduce their wildness. C．To demonstrate diving appeal. D．To promote ocean exploration. 27．What is the suitable title for the text? A．Why swim deep down? B．How to overcome fear? C．What underwater thrill? D．When to chase novelty? 【答案】24．A 25．B 26．C 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述James因工作倦怠尝试水肺潜水，从室内训练克服恐惧到在伯利兹首次海洋潜水时潜入80英尺深水区，与多种海洋生物近距离接触，最终爱上潜水并视其为改变生活的特殊经历。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m James. Burned out from work, I found life had become flat and that I desperately needed something to shift my focus.(我叫詹姆斯。由于工作压力过大，我感到精疲力竭。我发现生活变得毫无波澜，于是我迫切需要一些东西来转移我的注意力)”和“I decided to give it a shot I had my training lessons at an indoor swimming pool.(我决定试一试，我的训练课是在室内游泳池进行的)”可知，对新鲜体验的渴望促使詹姆斯尝试潜水这项运动。故选A。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“Less than 24 hours after my arrival, and minutes into my first ocean dive, I was literally diving head first into the deep end, finding myself 80 feet underwater.(我抵达这里不到24小时后，就在我的第一次海洋潜水开始时，我竟然直接一头扎进了深水区，结果发现自己已经潜到了80英尺深的地方)”可知，詹姆斯的首次海洋潜水没有采用循序渐进的策略。故选B。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段“Within minutes our 4-person dive group was surrounded by numerous nurse sharks, a moray eel (海鳗), large groupers and sea turtles. I was madly in love with scuba diving. As we reached the bottom, a lone nurse shark swam right under me. More started to arrive. Just as I was shooting pictures of the action and not paying attention to anything or anyone else around, I looked up to see a bright green threatening face headed straight for me. He wasn’t the least bit shy. He had apparently never heard of personal space. After he decided to swim by me without causing any bodily harm, I was both relieved and excited.(几分钟内，我们四人的潜水小组就被众多的护士鲨、海鳗、大石斑鱼和海龟包围了。我深深地爱上了潜水这项运动。当我们潜入水底时，一条孤独的护士鲨正好从我下方游过。更多的护士鲨陆续赶来。就在我忙着拍摄这一幕，而没有留意周围其他事物和人的同时，我抬头看到一张鲜绿色的、充满威胁的面孔正直冲着我而来。他一点也不害羞。显然，他从未听说过个人空间的概念。在他决定游过我身边而没有造成任何身体伤害之后，我既感到松了一口气，又感到兴奋不已)”可知，詹姆斯提到海洋动物是为了展示潜水的魅力。故选C。 27．主旨大意题。根据第一段“I’m James. Burned out from work, I found life had become flat and that I desperately needed something to shift my focus.(我叫詹姆斯。由于工作压力过大，我感到精疲力竭。我发现生活变得毫无波澜，于是我迫切需要一些东西来转移我的注意力)”以及全文围绕James从工作倦怠到尝试潜水、在首次海洋潜水中体验水下刺激的经历展开，”C选项“水下有何刺激？”最符合文章标题。故选C。 C 【来源】广西部分学校2025-2026学年高三上学期10月考试英语试题 Jade Benjamin-Chung, an assistant professor at the Stanford School of Medicine, worked with her coworkers to analyze the impact of hygiene (卫生) interventions on health outcomes in middle — and low-income Bangladeshi households. They found many common strategies used to protect children from disease weren’t as effective as expected. Feeling curious, Benjamin-Chung and her coworkers identified a potential reason. Around 70% of rural homes in Bangladesh have soil-packed floors. As young kids eat and play on the floor, they often absorb tiny soil-based parasites (寄生虫) that spread disease. So they thought about the concrete floors, which could create a space easier to clean and reduce pathogen (病原体) spread. Benjamin-Chung mentioned their idea to Sarah Billington, an expert on concrete and building materials from the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. When Billington heard the team’s idea of broadly replacing soil-packed floors with concrete, she worried the approach could have unintended consequences for the climate due to heavy carbon emissions (排放) from concrete production. So Billington invited other Stanford experts into the fold to understand why concrete was effective in reducing pathogen spread and design low-emission concrete alternatives that kept those helpful properties. They wanted to develop a mix using materials that’ re easily found in countries like Bangladesh. Finally, one possible material was recycled fly ash, a byproduct of burning coal. The concrete mix was affordable, durable and produced fewer emissions. Then they did an experiment where they hardened concrete test tiles (砖) made with alternative “green” concrete and then some pathogens were put into the tiles to measure how well they survived on the surface. The team’s findings suggest the pathogens have similar rates of survival on traditional concrete mix tiles and “green” alternative fly ash tiles. “This project could be a model for how to improve public health with sustainability baked in at the beginning,” said Benjamin-Chung. 28．What did Benjamin-Chung and her coworkers focus on initially? A．The bad influences of concrete. B．Disease spread in the neighborhood. C．Hygiene practices in specific families. D．Recycling methods of fly ash. 29．What made Billington invite other experts in? A．Her lack of knowledge of pollution. B．Her worries about health outcomes. C．Her struggle with pathogen resistance. D．Her concern about climate impacts. 30．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The alternative is effective at reducing disease spread. B．Traditional concrete does more harm to people’s health. C．The study helps reduce the cost of healthcare in Bangladesh.

A．Strategies for Bangladeshi Public Health B．Sustainable Concrete for Healthier Homes C．Hygiene Interventions in Low-income Homes D．Pathogens Spread through Building Materials 【答案】28．C 29．D 30．A 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型的环保建筑材料——低碳混合水泥板块。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Jade Benjamin-Chung, an assistant professor at the Stanford School of Medicine, worked with her coworkers to analyze the impact of hygiene (卫生) interventions on health outcomes in middle — and low-income Bangladeshi households.(斯坦福大学医学院助理教授Jade Benjamin-Chung与她的同事一起分析了卫生干预措施对孟加拉国中低收入家庭健康状况的影响)”可知，Benjamin-Chung和她同事最初的研究重心是孟加拉国中低收入家庭的卫生习惯。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“When Billington heard the team’s idea of broadly replacing soil-packed floors with concrete, she worried the approach could have unintended consequences for the climate due to heavy carbon emissions (排放) from concrete production.(当Billington听到该团队的想法是用混凝土广泛取代土壤填充的地板时，她担心这种方法可能会对气候产生意想不到的后果，因为混凝土生产会产生大量的碳排放)”和第四段“So Billington invited other Stanford experts into the fold to understand why concrete was effective in reducing pathogen spread and design low-emission concrete alternatives that kept those helpful properties.(因此，Billington邀请了斯坦福大学的其他专家来了解为什么混凝土能有效地减少病原体的传播，并设计出低排放的混凝土替代品，以保持这些有益的特性)”可知，Billington担心使用混凝土会对气候带来影响，故邀请了其他专家参与进来。故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据第五段“The team’s findings suggest the pathogens have similar rates of survival on traditional concrete mix tiles and “green” alternative fly ash tiles.(研究小组的发现表明，在传统的混凝土混合瓦和“绿色”替代粉煤灰瓦上，病原体的存活率相似)”可推断，新型的水泥混合板在减少疾病传播方面一样有效。故选A。 31．主旨大意题。根据第二段“So they thought about the concrete floors, which could create a space easier to clean and reduce pathogen (病原体) spread.(所以他们想到了混凝土地板，这样可以创造一个更容易清洁的空间，减少病原体的传播)”以及本文主要介绍的是与世界上一些农村地区常见的泥土地面不同，混凝土地面可减少携带疾病的病原体——但它们的成本很高，且对环境有害。一种低碳混合板块可以提供解决这一问题。故B项“可持续混凝土打造更健康的家园”适合作本文标题。故选B。 D 【来源】海南省海口市琼山区海南中学2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题 Imagine standing in front of a restaurant menu with countless options, each sounding appealing. You spend 20 minutes thinking, only to feel anxious that the dish you finally choose might not be the best one available. This is “FOBO” — the fear of a better option. “FOBO is the anxiety that something better will come along, which makes it difficult to commit to existing choices when making a decision,” said venture capitalist Patrick McGinnis, who came up with the term, “Especially if there are several options available, you worry that a better or even perfect choice might be out there, yet you struggle to choose just one.” While it’s important to weigh pros and cons and think through major decisions, FOBO keeps us caught in a loop (循环), forever chasing the unclear “what if”. The concept of FOBO is based on a mistaken belief that “the longer we look, the more options we will have, and this will somehow lead to a better outcome.” However, there’s no guarantee of this. Instead, people may wait so long that they end up losing good options and regret not making a choice sooner. Constantly second-guessing oneself and living in uncertainty can cause stress and exhaustion. Psychologist Patricia Dixon explains, “Mentally, FOBO can contribute to anxiety and depression, as the constant search for better options prevents individuals from fully enjoying their present circumstances. This mindset leads to dissatisfaction, weakens self-trust, and ultimately hinders personal growth and connection.” To overcome FOBO, the key is to streamline decision-making processes. Start by setting clear priorities and narrowing down your options to make choices easier. Limit the time spent on decisions to avoid overthinking, break down complex decisions into smaller, manageable parts, and gather only essential information. Trust your instincts (直觉) and embrace the idea of focusing on finding a “good enough” option rather than obsessing over perfection. Remind yourself that even if a better option appears later, you’ve already made progress. 32．Why do people experience FOBO? A．They want to make decisions quickly. B．They have few choices to select from. C．They fear missing out on a better option. D．They tend to take account of others’ views. 33．What is a potential impact of FOBO on individuals? A．It blocks their way to embracing different ideas. B．It weakens their ability to analyze complex issues. C．It prevents them from achieving a perfect outcome. D．It makes them dissatisfied with their current situation. 34．What does the underlined word “streamline” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Extend. B．Abandon. C．Evaluate. D．Simplify. 35．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．FOBO: Decision-making Anxiety B．Deciding Wisely: Avoiding Regret C．FOBO: The Secret to Better Choices D．Refusing Overthinking: Trusting Yourself 【答案】32．C 33．D 34．D 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“FOBO”这一决策焦虑现象，包括其定义、产生原因、对个人的影响以及应对方法。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“FOBO is the anxiety that something better will come along, which makes it difficult to commit to existing choices when making a decision (FOBO是一种焦虑，担心会有更好的东西出现，这使得在做出决定时难以坚持现有的选择)”和“Especially if there are several options available, you worry that a better or even perfect choice might be out there, yet you struggle to choose just one.(特别是如果有几个选择，你会担心会有一个更好甚至完美的选择在那里，但你又很难只选一个)”可知，人们会经历FOBO是因为他们害怕错过一个更好的选择。故选C项。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Psychologist Patricia Dixon explains, “Mentally, FOBO can contribute to anxiety and depression, as the constant search for better options prevents individuals from fully enjoying their present circumstances. This mindset leads to dissatisfaction, weakens self-trust, and ultimately hinders personal growth and connection.”(心理学家Patricia Dixon解释说：“从心理上讲，FOBO会导致焦虑和抑郁，因为不断寻找更好的选择会阻止人们充分享受他们目前的状态。这种心态会导致不满，削弱自信，最终阻碍个人成长和人际关系。”)”可知，FOBO对个人的潜在影响是让他们对目前的情况不满意。故选D项。 34．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Start by setting clear priorities and narrowing down your options to make choices easier. Limit the time spent on decisions to avoid overthinking, break down complex decisions into smaller, manageable parts, and gather only essential information.(首先设定明确的优先级，缩小你的选择范围，使选择更容易。限制做决定的时间以避免过度思考，将复杂的决定分解成更小的、可管理的部分，只收集必要的信息)”可知，本段主要介绍了克服FOBO的方法，即简化决策过程。故“To overcome FOBO, the key is to streamline decision-making processes.(要克服FOBO，关键是要streamline决策过程)”中划线词的意思是“简化”，与D项“Simplify”同义。故选D项。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“This is “FOBO” — the fear of a better option.(这就是“FOBO”——对更好的选择的恐惧)”可知，本文主要介绍了“FOBO”这一决策焦虑现象，包括其定义、产生原因、对个人的影响以及应对方法。故A项“FOBO：决策焦虑”最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 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】贵州省部分学校2025-2026学年高三上学期10月联考英语试卷 Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you’re angry, you may make rash (鲁莽的) decisions and say something rude that you’ll likely regret. 36 You might feel long-burning anger that destroys your good intentions, and makes you an unpleasant person. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent anger from ruining our lives. Change your attitude to the way the world works. 37 Try to accept that other people do behave in ways that will make you angry. Realizing this can help you reduce the intensity of your anger. When you expect others to sometimes act imperfectly, you’re less likely to be thrown off balance by their actions. 38 Sometimes anger can be used to achieve great things. Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA．Gandhi was angry about British domination in India. They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice. Don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We all get tempted to throw something, hit something, or scream when we’re angry. But giving in to these impulses (冲动) only make things worse. Instead, take a deep breath, count to ten, and try to calm down. 39 Stop trying to manage your anger. 40 However, it often just leads to suppressing your feelings. A much better way of facing up to anger is to identify the root cause. By understanding the underlying reasons, you can address the core issues and create better ways to manage your emotions. A．Don’t dismiss anger as a bad emotion. B．Anger arrives quickly but it’s slow to pass. C．Express your anger in a calm and wise way. D．It is perfectly normal to experience emotions such as anger. E．The actions of other people can be a significant cause of anger. F．This can help you think more clearly and respond more effectively. G．Anger management used to be promoted as a way of dealing with anger. 【答案】36．B 37．E 38．A 39．F 40．G 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了愤怒这种情绪的破坏性以及如何防止愤怒毁掉我们的生活，提出了一些应对愤怒的方法和建议。 36．上文“Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you’re angry, you may make rash (鲁莽的) decisions and say something rude that you’ll likely regret .(愤怒是最具破坏性的情绪。当你生气时，你可能会做出草率的决定，说一些粗鲁的话，你很可能会后悔。)”提出愤怒的破坏性，B选项“Anger arrives quickly but it’s slow to pass. (愤怒来得快，去得慢。)”进一步说明愤怒的特点，即来得快去得慢，可能会长时间存在，与上文话题一致，且下文“You might feel long-burning anger that destroys your good intentions, and makes you an unpleasant person. (你可能会感到长时间的愤怒，这会破坏你的善意，让你成为一个令人不快的人。)”是对B选项的进一步解释和说明。故选B项。 37．下文“Try to accept that other people do behave in ways that will make you angry. Realizing this can help you reduce the intensity of your anger. When you expect others to sometimes act imperfectly, you’re less likely to be thrown off balance by their actions. (试着接受别人确实会做出让你生气的事情。意识到这一点可以帮助你减轻愤怒的强度。当你预料到别人有时会表现得不完美时，你就不太可能因为他们的行为而失去平衡。)”提出别人的行为可能会让你生气，但要学会接受，E选项“The actions of other people can be a significant cause of anger. (别人的行为可能是愤怒的一个重要原因。)”引出下文，说明别人的行为是愤怒的一个重要原因，上下文语意衔接自然。故选E项。 38．下文“Sometimes anger can be used to achieve great things. Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA. Gandhi was angry about British domination in India. They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice. (有时愤怒可以用来成就伟大的事情。马丁·路德·金对美国缺乏民权感到愤怒。甘地对英国在印度的统治感到愤怒。他们都利用这种愤怒激励自己去对抗他们认为的不公正。)”提出愤怒也可以被用来激励人们去对抗不公正，A选项“Don’t dismiss anger as a bad emotion. (不要把愤怒当作一种坏情绪。)”作为小标题，概括了下文的主要内容，即不要把愤怒简单地视为一种坏情绪，而是要看到它可能带来的积极作用。故选A项。 39．上文“Instead, take a deep breath, count to ten, and try to calm down. (相反，深呼吸，数到十，试着冷静下来。)”提出冷静下来的方法，F选项“This can help you think more clearly and respond more effectively. (这可以帮助你更清晰地思考，更有效地回应。)”承接上文，说明冷静下来后能够带来的好处，即更清晰地思考和更有效地回应，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 40．下文“However, it often just leads to suppressing your feelings. A much better way of facing up to anger is to identify the root cause. By understanding the underlying reasons, you can address the core issues and create better ways to manage your emotions. (然而压抑情绪往往治标不治本。面对愤怒更好的方式是探寻其根源。当你理解情绪背后的深层原因，就能从根源解决问题，找到更佳的情绪管理之道。)”提出找出愤怒的根本原因是一个更好的方法，G选项“Anger management used to be promoted as a way of dealing with anger .(愤怒管理曾经被推广为一种处理愤怒的方法。)”说明愤怒管理曾经被推广为一种处理愤怒的方法，但是这种方法并不奏效，引出下文，上下文构成转折关系。故选G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】云南省玉溪第一中学2025-2026学年高三上学期期中考试英语试题 No one is willing to fall ill, especially in a foreign country alone. 41 , such was exactly what happened to me.

As a “mode!” student, I went along with the request, even though it filled me with fear. I was small for my age, wore secondhand clothes, and cried easily. I desperately wished to remain in my seat and disappear into the background. However, there I was standing, on stage. Reading lines (台词), at least, was something I liked, So, I began to read. Within moments, the fear was gone. I was reading the part for the main character, “Star,” who possessed an optimistic view on life despite being an orphan (孤儿). I wasn’t an orphan myself, but I felt like one. My father had left us, and my mother worked during the day, attended school at night and spent her weekends buried in homework, It was easy for me to believe that Star’s words were also my own. I finished reading and quickly returned to my seat. When the teacher announced the cast list and called my name, I was lost in my thoughts. “Patty,” she repeated, “you are Star, Come and collect your lines.” “This cannot be! How is it possible?”  With a racing heart, I approached the teacher to get the pages. I practiced every day — while walking to school, during lunch breaks, before bedtime, and even on weekends. In the beginning, I was worried about forgetting my lines, but I managed to learn them by heart. My confidence was gradually growing. Then came the rehearsals (排练). It was during this stage that I began to doubt my confidence once again, I was too nervous to act, I frequently forgot my lines. Then after several failures, I finally reached my breaking point. I ran out towards the stairs and started to cry, “I can’t do it!” 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， Para l: Suddenly, I felt several gentle hands on my arms. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: The day finally arrived and the performance received an enthusiastic response. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Suddenly, I felt several gentle hands on my arms. Voices enveloped me, and a warm hand took hold of mine. Through tear-filled eyes, I looked up at concerned faces. The teacher and some of my classmates had followed me. “Please don’t quit,” one of them said firmly. “You can do it. Come on!” All of a sudden, the feeling of being like an orphan disappeared. My heart was filled with warmth. Greatly encouraged and deeply moved, I bravely returned to the stage after drying my tears. The rehearsals eventually went on smoothly, setting the stage for the final performance. The day finally arrived and the performance received an enthusiastic response. The audience exploded in thunderous cheers and the teacher smiled with great satisfaction, as if saying “Great job!”. Getting off the stage, our classmates hugged each other excitedly, feeling proud of ourselves. I felt like a bird soaring through the sky. From that day on, whenever I encountered discouragement, I persevered. I will never forget that I was once a “fallen star” who managed to rise and shine through my own efforts, with the guidance of an exceptional teacher and the unexpected support of classmates. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在戏剧课上的经历，展现了其从害怕、不自信到最终成功并找到自信的过程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，我感觉有几只温柔的手搭在了我的胳膊上。”以及第二段首句内容“表演的那天终于到来了，并且获得了热烈的反响。”可知，第一段可描写作者在老师和同学的鼓励下，继续开始排练戏剧。 ②由第二段首句内容“表演的那天终于到来了，并且获得了热烈的反响。”可知，第二段可描写戏剧获得了成功，作者非常感激同学们和老师给自己的支持。 2.续写线索：突然，作者感到有几只温柔的手搭在自己的胳膊上——作者抬头看见了同学们和老师关切的面孔——他们激励作者继续排练，并肯定了作者的表现——在他们的鼓励下，作者重新回到了舞台——表演的那天终于到来了——表演非常成功，同学们发出了欢呼声——老师的脸上露出了满意的笑容——作者很高兴自己坚持了下来——此后，作者只要遇到挫折，都会坚持下去 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满了：be filled with/be full of ②拥抱：embrace/hug ③遇到：encounter/come across 情绪类 ①感动的：moved/touched ②兴奋地：excitedly/with excitement 【点睛】【高分句型1】From that day on, whenever I encountered discouragement, I persevered.（运用了whenever引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】I will never forget that I was once a “fallen star” who managed to rise and shine through my own efforts, with the guidance of an exceptional teacher and the unexpected support of classmates.（运用了that引导的宾语从句和who引导的定语从句） 试卷第22页，共25页 试卷第23页，共25页 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04（全国二卷） 参考答案及评分标准 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 1—5 CABBA 6—10ABABA 11—15 BCCAC 16—20 CBCAC 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） 21．D 22．B 23．C 24．A 25．B 26．C 27．C 28．C 29．D 30．A 31．B 32．C 33．D 34．D 35．A 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36．B 37．E 38．A 39．F 40．G 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） 41．B 42．C 43．C 44．A 45．D 46．A 47．D 48．B 49．D 50．B 51．A 52．C 53．A 54．B 55．D 第二节 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56．tracing 57．purity 58．as 59．officials 60．misfortune 61．passed 62．how 63．whispers 64．where 65．spiritual 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 【参考范文】 We are what we read Hello, everyone!

A master’s degree is worth 90 — 120 credits and takes 1.5 — 2 years of full-time study. Working While Studying Foreign students may work a maximum of 15 hours per week during their studies, and up to 100 per cent during semester breaks.

Burned out from work, I found life had become flat and that I desperately needed something to shift my focus. One night I came across a website recommending scuba (水肺) diving lessons. I hadn’t ever thought much about the idea of diving before; but its complete unfamiliarity fueled my interest; I decided to give it a shot, and I had my training lessons at an indoor swimming pool. After completing the courses, I felt a sense of great satisfaction and accomplishment for overcoming the initial fear and discomfort of breathing underwater. Knowing I hadn’t yet experienced what real scuba diving is all about, I spent hours researching where the best places to dive were. Before I knew it, I was on an airplane to Belize. Less than 24 hours after my arrival, and minutes into my first ocean dive, I was literally diving head first into the deep end, finding myself 80 feet underwater. It’s the kind of extraordinary water having such great visibility that you can see clearly for hundreds of feet around you. Within minutes our 4-person dive group was surrounded by numerous nurse sharks, a moray eel (海鳗), large groupers and sea turtles. I was madly in love with scuba diving. As we reached the bottom, a lone nurse shark swam right under me. More started to arrive. Just as I was shooting pictures of the action and not paying attention to anything or anyone else around, I looked up to see a bright green threatening face headed straight for me. He wasn’t the least bit shy. He had apparently never heard of personal space. After he decided to swim by me without causing any bodily harm, I was both relieved and excited. This will always be that one special dive that changed everything and I get to watch it any time I find myself missing the water. 24．What pushed James to try scuba diving? A．Thirst for fresh experiences. B．Love for underwater events. C．Cut-throat career challenges. D．Online low-price campaigns. 25．What do we know about James’s first ocean dive? A．He didn’t use former diving skills. B．He didn’t adopt a gradual strategy. C．He found the best diving location. D．He made friends with other divers. 26．Why did James mention sea animals? A．To underline their diversity. B．To introduce their wildness. C．To demonstrate diving appeal. D．To promote ocean exploration. 27．What is the suitable title for the text? A．Why swim deep down? B．How to overcome fear? C．What underwater thrill? D．When to chase novelty? C 【来源】广西部分学校2025-2026学年高三上学期10月考试英语试题 Jade Benjamin-Chung, an assistant professor at the Stanford School of Medicine, worked with her coworkers to analyze the impact of hygiene (卫生) interventions on health outcomes in middle — and low-income Bangladeshi households. They found many common strategies used to protect children from disease weren’t as effective as expected. Feeling curious, Benjamin-Chung and her coworkers identified a potential reason. Around 70% of rural homes in Bangladesh have soil-packed floors. As young kids eat and play on the floor, they often absorb tiny soil-based parasites (寄生虫) that spread disease. So they thought about the concrete floors, which could create a space easier to clean and reduce pathogen (病原体) spread. Benjamin-Chung mentioned their idea to Sarah Billington, an expert on concrete and building materials from the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. When Billington heard the team’s idea of broadly replacing soil-packed floors with concrete, she worried the approach could have unintended consequences for the climate due to heavy carbon emissions (排放) from concrete production. So Billington invited other Stanford experts into the fold to understand why concrete was effective in reducing pathogen spread and design low-emission concrete alternatives that kept those helpful properties. They wanted to develop a mix using materials that’ re easily found in countries like Bangladesh. Finally, one possible material was recycled fly ash, a byproduct of burning coal. The concrete mix was affordable, durable and produced fewer emissions. Then they did an experiment where they hardened concrete test tiles (砖) made with alternative “green” concrete and then some pathogens were put into the tiles to measure how well they survived on the surface. The team’s findings suggest the pathogens have similar rates of survival on traditional concrete mix tiles and “green” alternative fly ash tiles. “This project could be a model for how to improve public health with sustainability baked in at the beginning,” said Benjamin-Chung. 28．What did Benjamin-Chung and her coworkers focus on initially? A．The bad influences of concrete. B．Disease spread in the neighborhood. C．Hygiene practices in specific families. D．Recycling methods of fly ash. 29．What made Billington invite other experts in? A．Her lack of knowledge of pollution. B．Her worries about health outcomes. C．Her struggle with pathogen resistance. D．Her concern about climate impacts. 30．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The alternative is effective at reducing disease spread. B．Traditional concrete does more harm to people’s health. C．The study helps reduce the cost of healthcare in Bangladesh. D．The study offers good educational resources to medical schools. 31．What could be a suitable title for the text? A．Strategies for Bangladeshi Public Health B．Sustainable Concrete for Healthier Homes C．Hygiene Interventions in Low-income Homes D．Pathogens Spread through Building Materials D 【来源】海南省海口市琼山区海南中学2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题 Imagine standing in front of a restaurant menu with countless options, each sounding appealing. You spend 20 minutes thinking, only to feel anxious that the dish you finally choose might not be the best one available. This is “FOBO” — the fear of a better option. “FOBO is the anxiety that something better will come along, which makes it difficult to commit to existing choices when making a decision,” said venture capitalist Patrick McGinnis, who came up with the term, “Especially if there are several options available, you worry that a better or even perfect choice might be out there, yet you struggle to choose just one.” While it’s important to weigh pros and cons and think through major decisions, FOBO keeps us caught in a loop (循环), forever chasing the unclear “what if”. The concept of FOBO is based on a mistaken belief that “the longer we look, the more options we will have, and this will somehow lead to a better outcome.” However, there’s no guarantee of this. Instead, people may wait so long that they end up losing good options and regret not making a choice sooner. Constantly second-guessing oneself and living in uncertainty can cause stress and exhaustion. Psychologist Patricia Dixon explains, “Mentally, FOBO can contribute to anxiety and depression, as the constant search for better options prevents individuals from fully enjoying their present circumstances. This mindset leads to dissatisfaction, weakens self-trust, and ultimately hinders personal growth and connection.” To overcome FOBO, the key is to streamline decision-making processes. Start by setting clear priorities and narrowing down your options to make choices easier. Limit the time spent on decisions to avoid overthinking, break down complex decisions into smaller, manageable parts, and gather only essential information. Trust your instincts (直觉) and embrace the idea of focusing on finding a “good enough” option rather than obsessing over perfection. Remind yourself that even if a better option appears later, you’ve already made progress. 32．Why do people experience FOBO? A．They want to make decisions quickly. B．They have few choices to select from. C．They fear missing out on a better option. D．They tend to take account of others’ views. 33．What is a potential impact of FOBO on individuals? A．It blocks their way to embracing different ideas. B．It weakens their ability to analyze complex issues. C．It prevents them from achieving a perfect outcome. D．It makes them dissatisfied with their current situation. 34．What does the underlined word “streamline” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Extend. B．Abandon. C．Evaluate. D．Simplify. 35．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．FOBO: Decision-making Anxiety B．Deciding Wisely: Avoiding Regret C．FOBO: The Secret to Better Choices D．Refusing Overthinking: Trusting Yourself 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】贵州省部分学校2025-2026学年高三上学期10月联考英语试卷 Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you’re angry, you may make rash (鲁莽的) decisions and say something rude that you’ll likely regret. 36 You might feel long-burning anger that destroys your good intentions, and makes you an unpleasant person. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent anger from ruining our lives. Change your attitude to the way the world works. 37 Try to accept that other people do behave in ways that will make you angry. Realizing this can help you reduce the intensity of your anger. When you expect others to sometimes act imperfectly, you’re less likely to be thrown off balance by their actions. 38 Sometimes anger can be used to achieve great things. Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA．Gandhi was angry about British domination in India. They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice. Don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We all get tempted to throw something, hit something, or scream when we’re angry. But giving in to these impulses (冲动) only make things worse. Instead, take a deep breath, count to ten, and try to calm down. 39 Stop trying to manage your anger. 40 However, it often just leads to suppressing your feelings. A much better way of facing up to anger is to identify the root cause. By understanding the underlying reasons, you can address the core issues and create better ways to manage your emotions. A．Don’t dismiss anger as a bad emotion. B．Anger arrives quickly but it’s slow to pass. C．Express your anger in a calm and wise way. D．It is perfectly normal to experience emotions such as anger. E．The actions of other people can be a significant cause of anger. F．This can help you think more clearly and respond more effectively. G．Anger management used to be promoted as a way of dealing with anger. 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】云南省玉溪第一中学2025-2026学年高三上学期期中考试英语试题 No one is willing to fall ill, especially in a foreign country alone. 41 , such was exactly what happened to me.

Burned out from work, I found life had become flat and that I desperately needed something to shift my focus. One night I came across a website recommending scuba (水肺) diving lessons. I hadn’t ever thought much about the idea of diving before; but its complete unfamiliarity fueled my interest; I decided to give it a shot, and I had my training lessons at an indoor swimming pool. After completing the courses, I felt a sense of great satisfaction and accomplishment for overcoming the initial fear and discomfort of breathing underwater. Knowing I hadn’t yet experienced what real scuba diving is all about, I spent hours researching where the best places to dive were. Before I knew it, I was on an airplane to Belize. Less than 24 hours after my arrival, and minutes into my first ocean dive, I was literally diving head first into the deep end, finding myself 80 feet underwater. It’s the kind of extraordinary water having such great visibility that you can see clearly for hundreds of feet around you. Within minutes our 4-person dive group was surrounded by numerous nurse sharks, a moray eel (海鳗), large groupers and sea turtles. I was madly in love with scuba diving. As we reached the bottom, a lone nurse shark swam right under me. More started to arrive. Just as I was shooting pictures of the action and not paying attention to anything or anyone else around, I looked up to see a bright green threatening face headed straight for me. He wasn’t the least bit shy. He had apparently never heard of personal space. After he decided to swim by me without causing any bodily harm, I was both relieved and excited. This will always be that one special dive that changed everything and I get to watch it any time I find myself missing the water. 24．What pushed James to try scuba diving? A．Thirst for fresh experiences. B．Love for underwater events. C．Cut-throat career challenges. D．Online low-price campaigns. 25．What do we know about James’s first ocean dive? A．He didn’t use former diving skills. B．He didn’t adopt a gradual strategy. C．He found the best diving location. D．He made friends with other divers. 26．Why did James mention sea animals? A．To underline their diversity. B．To introduce their wildness. C．To demonstrate diving appeal. D．To promote ocean exploration. 27．What is the suitable title for the text? A．Why swim deep down? B．How to overcome fear? C．What underwater thrill? D．When to chase novelty? C 【来源】广西部分学校2025-2026学年高三上学期10月考试英语试题 Jade Benjamin-Chung, an assistant professor at the Stanford School of Medicine, worked with her coworkers to analyze the impact of hygiene (卫生) interventions on health outcomes in middle — and low-income Bangladeshi households. They found many common strategies used to protect children from disease weren’t as effective as expected. Feeling curious, Benjamin-Chung and her coworkers identified a potential reason. Around 70% of rural homes in Bangladesh have soil-packed floors. As young kids eat and play on the floor, they often absorb tiny soil-based parasites (寄生虫) that spread disease. So they thought about the concrete floors, which could create a space easier to clean and reduce pathogen (病原体) spread. Benjamin-Chung mentioned their idea to Sarah Billington, an expert on concrete and building materials from the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. When Billington heard the team’s idea of broadly replacing soil-packed floors with concrete, she worried the approach could have unintended consequences for the climate due to heavy carbon emissions (排放) from concrete production. So Billington invited other Stanford experts into the fold to understand why concrete was effective in reducing pathogen spread and design low-emission concrete alternatives that kept those helpful properties. They wanted to develop a mix using materials that’ re easily found in countries like Bangladesh. Finally, one possible material was recycled fly ash, a byproduct of burning coal. The concrete mix was affordable, durable and produced fewer emissions. Then they did an experiment where they hardened concrete test tiles (砖) made with alternative “green” concrete and then some pathogens were put into the tiles to measure how well they survived on the surface. The team’s findings suggest the pathogens have similar rates of survival on traditional concrete mix tiles and “green” alternative fly ash tiles. “This project could be a model for how to improve public health with sustainability baked in at the beginning,” said Benjamin-Chung. 28．What did Benjamin-Chung and her coworkers focus on initially? A．The bad influences of concrete. B．Disease spread in the neighborhood. C．Hygiene practices in specific families. D．Recycling methods of fly ash. 29．What made Billington invite other experts in? A．Her lack of knowledge of pollution. B．Her worries about health outcomes. C．Her struggle with pathogen resistance. D．Her concern about climate impacts. 30．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The alternative is effective at reducing disease spread. B．Traditional concrete does more harm to people’s health. C．The study helps reduce the cost of healthcare in Bangladesh. D．The study offers good educational resources to medical schools. 31．What could be a suitable title for the text? A．Strategies for Bangladeshi Public Health B．Sustainable Concrete for Healthier Homes C．Hygiene Interventions in Low-income Homes D．Pathogens Spread through Building Materials D 【来源】海南省海口市琼山区海南中学2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题 Imagine standing in front of a restaurant menu with countless options, each sounding appealing. You spend 20 minutes thinking, only to feel anxious that the dish you finally choose might not be the best one available. This is “FOBO” — the fear of a better option. “FOBO is the anxiety that something better will come along, which makes it difficult to commit to existing choices when making a decision,” said venture capitalist Patrick McGinnis, who came up with the term, “Especially if there are several options available, you worry that a better or even perfect choice might be out there, yet you struggle to choose just one.” While it’s important to weigh pros and cons and think through major decisions, FOBO keeps us caught in a loop (循环), forever chasing the unclear “what if”. The concept of FOBO is based on a mistaken belief that “the longer we look, the more options we will have, and this will somehow lead to a better outcome.” However, there’s no guarantee of this. Instead, people may wait so long that they end up losing good options and regret not making a choice sooner. Constantly second-guessing oneself and living in uncertainty can cause stress and exhaustion. Psychologist Patricia Dixon explains, “Mentally, FOBO can contribute to anxiety and depression, as the constant search for better options prevents individuals from fully enjoying their present circumstances. This mindset leads to dissatisfaction, weakens self-trust, and ultimately hinders personal growth and connection.” To overcome FOBO, the key is to streamline decision-making processes. Start by setting clear priorities and narrowing down your options to make choices easier. Limit the time spent on decisions to avoid overthinking, break down complex decisions into smaller, manageable parts, and gather only essential information. Trust your instincts (直觉) and embrace the idea of focusing on finding a “good enough” option rather than obsessing over perfection. Remind yourself that even if a better option appears later, you’ve already made progress. 32．Why do people experience FOBO? A．They want to make decisions quickly. B．They have few choices to select from. C．They fear missing out on a better option. D．They tend to take account of others’ views. 33．What is a potential impact of FOBO on individuals? A．It blocks their way to embracing different ideas. B．It weakens their ability to analyze complex issues. C．It prevents them from achieving a perfect outcome. D．It makes them dissatisfied with their current situation. 34．What does the underlined word “streamline” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Extend. B．Abandon. C．Evaluate. D．Simplify. 35．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．FOBO: Decision-making Anxiety B．Deciding Wisely: Avoiding Regret C．FOBO: The Secret to Better Choices D．Refusing Overthinking: Trusting Yourself 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】贵州省部分学校2025-2026学年高三上学期10月联考英语试卷 Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you’re angry, you may make rash (鲁莽的) decisions and say something rude that you’ll likely regret. 36 You might feel long-burning anger that destroys your good intentions, and makes you an unpleasant person. Fortunately, there are ways to prevent anger from ruining our lives. Change your attitude to the way the world works. 37 Try to accept that other people do behave in ways that will make you angry. Realizing this can help you reduce the intensity of your anger. When you expect others to sometimes act imperfectly, you’re less likely to be thrown off balance by their actions. 38 Sometimes anger can be used to achieve great things. Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights in the USA．Gandhi was angry about British domination in India. They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against what they saw as injustice. Don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We all get tempted to throw something, hit something, or scream when we’re angry. But giving in to these impulses (冲动) only make things worse. Instead, take a deep breath, count to ten, and try to calm down. 39 Stop trying to manage your anger. 40 However, it often just leads to suppressing your feelings. A much better way of facing up to anger is to identify the root cause. By understanding the underlying reasons, you can address the core issues and create better ways to manage your emotions. A．Don’t dismiss anger as a bad emotion. B．Anger arrives quickly but it’s slow to pass. C．Express your anger in a calm and wise way. D．It is perfectly normal to experience emotions such as anger. E．The actions of other people can be a significant cause of anger. F．This can help you think more clearly and respond more effectively.
