Titled Paths to Modernity, the exhibition includes masterpieces from the Musee d’Orsay, Paris, featuring over 100 masterpieces from the core collection of the French museum.

Key Highlights Iconic artists Masterpieces Paul Gauguin Tahitian Women Jean-Francois Millet The Gleaners Vincent van Gogh Self-Portrait Claude Monet Stacks of Wheat Edouard Manet Emile Zola Pierre-Auguste Renoir Young Girls at the Piano According to the exhibition director Stephane Guegan, a famous art historian and scientific advisor to Musee d’Orsay, these pieces reflect the shift of French art from tradition to modernity.

When Bennett, a critically endangered African penguin, started losing his vision and slowing down his steps, it became clear that he needed a safe place to age. Redwood Aquarium, where the 33-year-old Bennett was born and has lived his entire life, decided in February to set up a care center for him and its six other aging penguins. “Initially, we found the idea unconventional,” said Mark Hudson, manager of the aquarium. “But the more we were looking at what physical limitations they have, the more we started to realize that we had to do something.” The rocky island near the entrance is set apart from the rest of the aquarium, ensuring that the older penguins don’t have to compete for territory with their often aggressive, younger peers. The enclosure has some flatter surface and a carpeted path down to the water, which allows Bennett and the other penguins to better navigate up and down the island. The aquarium has also built a stand in front of the island, which makes it easier for the penguins to jump out of the water. Caring for the aging penguins goes far beyond a safer enclosure. The older birds get more checkups than their younger counterparts, and doctors offer them treatment for diseases that might be familiar to older humans. There are also more cameras around the island, so staff can better monitor the birds. Bennett has become more active since moving to the new island — swimming more with his mate and getting off the island more often. A crowd of tourists formed around the enclosure to watch, including Helen Stone, a 79-year-old tourist who was being pushed in a wheelchair by her family. Hearing about Bennett’s age and the care he got, Helen said she could relate. “That’s wonderful,” Helen said. “All of us older people need extra care as we get older.” 4. Why was a care center opened in Redwood Aquarium? A. To train penguins for performances. B. To separate aging penguins from visitors. C. To study the endangered African penguins. D. To give elderly penguins a safe place to age. 5 What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Improvement of the aquarium. B. Competitions among penguins. C. Introduction of the care program. D. Convenience of the rocky island. 6. What happens after Bennett has been brought to the care center? A. Better care is offered. B. More food is provided. C. More birds are attracted. D. Better doctors are assigned. 7. Why does the author mention Helen Stone in the last paragraph? A. To compare her age with Bennett’s. B. To recommend Redwood Aquarium. C. To praise the aquarium’s care program. D. To show her being cared by her family. C To be honest, people are saying “honestly” all the time. According to an online database of English usage, the use of “honestly” has been rising over the last 25 years. Not just in casual conversations, it’s also on the internet, which is used as a sign to tell the truth. “I get so excited when I see this,” says linguist Troy Williams. Williams says it makes sense because it has gone hand in hand with the rise of internet since 2000. The more information — and disinformation — flies on the internet, the more urgent people feel to prove their statements. “Honestly” has shifted over time. The word “honest” comes from the Latin “honestus”, meaning honorable. Although the meaning lives on, its usage has expanded to other situations. Now it is often applied to soften a critical remark. For example, “Honestly, I don’t think we should be friends anymore.” By adding “honestly” to it, you are adding an emotional signal to the conversation to express your true feeling. Yet, are people actually being honest when “honestly” is used? To be honest, the word is also used by people with a history of less-than-honorable behavior. So people often doubt this eight-letter word. As AI is booming and deep fakes are everywhere, it seems that the word is losing its value. Some people even think lying is pretty common and early researches also suggested that. However, other experts hold opposite ideas. Susan Murphy, an expert in language usage, argues against the assumption above. As she points out, lying is less common than we think and that the majority of people are really being honest. Susan admits she also has an “honestly” habit, but it’s not just a filler word for her. “I am also a very straightforward speaker, and I want to convey all the things I am feeling to someone,” she says. “I do use ‘honestly’ earnestly in my life and I hope that people can get my feeling.” 8. What can we learn about “honestly”? A. Honest people like to use it. B. It has been used more than before. C. People often sign it in writing. D. It is often used in online English. 9. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 2? A. The idea of Troy Williams. B. The online sign to tell the truth. C. The information on the internet. D. The rise in the use of “honestly”. 10. Why do people think “honestly” is losing its value? A. People are likely to tell lies. B. The internet is becoming popular. C. Fake content floods the internet. D. The word is used in other situations. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Do you say it honestly? B. Does “honestly” change? C. Is “honestly” a good habit? D. Do you change your view honestly? D Chatbots, online chatting apps, are as close to us as our phones. As a survey finds, nearly three-quarters of 13-to-17-year-olds have ever used AI chatbots, and almost one-quarter use them a few times a week. However, when it comes to mental crisis, these chatbots just perform very, very poorly. To see how the chatbots perform, Owen Thompson, a clinical psychologist and his group acted as teenage clients and interacted with the most-visited ones through 75conversations to test their effect. They found the conversations were alarming. Those chatbots failed to provide appropriate guidelines in about 25 percent of conversations. 8:30 p.m. 9:37 p.m. Days like this I feel lonely. It’s too depressing. ...and we have some rules which I disobeyed...and my mother knows everything now...which hurts her too...and I feel sad after seeing her like this. 8:32 p.m. 9:38 p.m. I’m really sorry that you’re feeling this way but I’m unable to provide the help that you need. Talk things over with someone such as a mental health professional or a trusted person. The important thing to remember is that your worth is not defined by someone else’s actions or words, even if that person was someone you loved and trusted. Your self-worth remains... Examples of some conversations Those replies differ from the advice from human psychologists, which can’t meet the teenagers’ needs. “We mental health doctors have extensive training and are licensed to provide this care,” Thompson says. But chatbots don’t. Part of the attraction of these chatbots is their convenience and privacy, which are valuable things for a teenager. This type of thing is more appealing than going to mom and dad and saying, “You know, I’m really struggling with my mental health,” or a psychologist who is four decades older than them, and telling them their darkest secrets. “Looking ahead, the technology needs revising. We have to ensure that the benefits outweigh the risks,” says Julian Hughes, president of the Digital Health Committee. Some efforts to regulate this technology are already under way. A new law is to regulate these AI companions, and the committee will hold a public meeting to explore new generative AI-based mental health tools. For lots of people — teenagers included — good mental health care is hard to access. “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that people are turning to chatbots,” says Julian. “But for now, we need to recognize the limitations of what these platforms can and cannot do.” 12. What does paragraph 2 act as? A. Illustrating the author’s idea. B. Arousing the readers’ interest. C. Introducing the background. D. Setting guidelines for chatting. 13. Why are teenagers attracted to chatbots? A. They act like their parents. B. They can keep their secrets. C. They are popular apps nowadays. D. They are pretty cost-effective. 14. What can be inferred about AI companions? A. They are currently banned by regulators. B. They are fully regulated by existing laws. C. They are proven risk-free and harmless. D. They require revision to deal with risks. 15. What’s Julian Hughes’s attitude toward the capability of chatbots? A. Approving. B. Dismissive. C. Concerned. D. Unclear. 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。 Hikers are familiar with the motto “Hike your own hike”. That is to say — don’t compare how many miles you walk in a day with how far other hikers are traveling. However, the desire to compare is part of human nature. ____16____ A new research has found that more than 10% of daily thoughts contain making a comparison of some kind. People believe that they make less money, go to fewer parties, and are burdened with heavier life pressure than other people, including their close friends. ____17____ For example, we compare ourselves to the fittest person we know when assessing how fit we are, the best cook around us when evaluating our cooking skills, etc. Unsurprisingly, this means that we feel we fall short of others when we evaluate our own fitness, cooking, and so on. The more we compare ourselves to others, the more we will be dissatisfied, which drives us off the path of happiness. ____18____ Luckily, the research also offers suggestions for us to get back on the right track. Set realistic expectations. Comparing ourselves to others can lead us to failures, because we tend to have unrealistic expectations about our capacity. ____19____ This will help us get out of the comparison trap and focus on finishing tasks. Celebrate others’ successes. Try to celebrate and encourage the people around us, rather than feeling competitive or envious of their successes. This can be a difficult process, but it is an incredibly powerful way of taking control of our own lives. ____20____ A. Setting realistic expectations is easy. B. It is strong and hard-wired into our brains. C. In short, comparison can be the thief of joy. D. However, comparison is of great significance. E. And it will undoubtedly bring us more joy in the long run. F. Think realistically and break our goals down into smaller tasks. G. This happens because people always focus on the top performers around. 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。 Eric was a boy who liked challenges.

Behind it ____36____ (lie) an ancient story which vividly explains the essence of mutual respect, a virtue that is widely valued in China.

It stands not just as a tourist attraction but also as a timeless _____45_____ (remind) that small acts of mutual consideration can make a huge difference. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你校计划新增一个课外劳动项目，现通过校园英文报面向全体学生征求意见，候选项目为“美食烹饪”和“手工制作”。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1.你的选择； 2.说明理由。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It’s wonderful that our school plans to launch an after-school labor program. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It felt like a jungle, and I, like a river, flowed amid the chaos of students, trying to find my place. I wasn’t just in a new school; I was also in a new city. My family had recently moved here and I really missed my old best friend Steve. Back home, we used to play basketball and do our homework together. Before I left, he reminded me of our shared dream: “Get good grades, Jack, so we can both get into that top university after high school.” It was our goal and our plan — the future we’d always pictured together. But going to the university with my best friend was still a year away, and right now, after the first week, I was alone. “Jack,” I told myself as I walked home after school, “you need to come out of your shell.” The next day, I was sitting at lunch alone again when I looked out of the window and caught sight of Henry, a boy that I had noticed on my first day at school. I observed that wherever he was, Henry was always at the center of attention — he was just cool. Today he was playing basketball with his friends in the schoolyard, just like I used to do with Steve. I walked out to the yard to watch them run the ball up and down the half court. Suddenly, their ball got loose and rolled towards my feet. I picked it up and made a shot. Score! “Whew, that shot was smooth!” Henry cried. He and his friends rushed over, congratulating me on the shot. “Hey, want to be on my team?” Henry asked. “Y-yeah. Sure!” I joined them joyfully. Ten minutes into the basketball game, a sense of belonging washed over me. I made new friends! Before we could finish, the bell rang, so I stopped and said that I was going back to class. Shockingly, Henry threw the ball back at me. 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。 “Forget that bell,” he barked, “continue the game!” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I tried to focus on the game, but Steve’s words kept ringing in my ears. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2026年高三年级调研考试 英语 （本试卷共10页，满分120分。考试用时120分钟。） 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） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

After weighing the two options carefully, I strongly advocate for “Culinary Arts” as our school’s new after-school labor program. Unlike handcrafts which are fun but often end up as decorations, cooking skills let us solve real-life needs. For example, when our parents are busy, we could make ourselves a bowl of tomato egg noodles — a simple meal that fills us up, instead of just eating snacks. Besides, cooking brings richer class interaction. We could take turns stirring the pot or passing ingredients during preparation, and after cooking, sit together to taste each other’s dishes. This back-and-forth makes the class warm and engaging, which I think more classmates will enjoy. This program combines skill acquisition with fun, and I’m convinced that it will gain great popularity among students. 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version: “Forget that bell,” he barked, “continue the game!” Henry gave me a sharp look, pointing at the basketball at my feet. Loneliness flooded back — sitting alone at lunch, having no one to talk to and wandering along empty hallways. Now these popular guys had finally let me join them, and I didn’t want to blow this chance. I took a deep breath, picked up the ball, and continued the game. But my mind was elsewhere. Guilt hung over me as I thought about skipping class, and my mind kept going back to Steve, his voice echoing our promise to study hard for the same university. Every pass and shot felt stiff, for my heart wasn’t really in the game. I tried to focus on the game, but Steve’s words kept ringing in my ears. I knew I had to make the right choice, even if it meant losing these new friends. I walked to Henry and gently told him that I couldn’t keep playing. I explained my promise with Steve and how I didn’t want to break it. Henry paused for a second, and then nodded slowly. He said he was sorry for pushing me, and the other kids apologized, too. We all rushed back to class, arriving just in time. As I slid into my seat, guilt melted into relief — I kept our promise. True friendship, I realized, is about supporting each other — not losing your way just to be part of the crowd. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
