Passage 1
(2026·安徽宣城·一模)How to Develop a Growth Mindset for Academic Success
In the journey of learning, what separates successful students from others is often not just intelligence, but mindset. A growth mindset-the belief that abilities can be developed through effort-has become a key factor in academic progress. 1 Instead of fearing challenges, they see them as opportunities to grow.
It stands in contrast to a fixed mindset, which believes abilities are fixed. For example, when facing a difficult exam or a complex assignment, a fixed mindset might lead you to think “I’m just not good at this subject,” while a growth mindset encourages you to say “I can improve with more practice.” 2
To develop a growth mindset, start by embracing mistakes. 3 Mistakes are not signs of failure but valuable feedback that helps you identify areas for improvement. When you make an error, ask yourself: “What can I learn from this?” rather than feeling discouraged. 4 Don’t just judge your performance by grades or test scores alone. Celebrate the time you spend studying, the questions you ask, and the progress you make step by step. This helps you build resilience and stay motivated even when the final outcome isn’t immediate.
Finally, surround yourself with people who inspire growth. 5 Their positive attitude towards learning will encourage you to push your limits and adopt a similar mindset. Remember, a growth mindset is not something you are born with-it’s a skill that can be cultivated with consistent effort.
A.No one achieves mastery without making mistakes along the way.
B.They are more likely to give up when faced with difficulties in study.
C.Many students struggle academically because they hold a fixed mindset.
D.Another effective strategy is to focus on the process rather than the result.
E.People with a growth mindset tend to achieve more in long-term learning.
F.Learn from classmates who view challenges as a chance to become better.
G.This difference in thinking affects how you approach tasks and handle setbacks.
Passage 2
(2026·安徽滁州·一模)It Took a Village
Da Nelson was enjoying soap operas in her sister’s sofa when she heard the rumble (轰鸣声)of a small airplane circling the nearby airport. Any time a plane flies over that late, it means something is wrong. Nelson and her sister leaped out of the sofa, ran to the window, and saw the problem: 6
Nelson threw on some clothes, jumped into her SUV, and rushed to the airport. 7 “Normally, if you push the button 10 or 15 times, the lights will just light up,” Nelson told the reporter from KTOO out of Juneau. Not this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilot learned of the plane’s urgent mission: It was a medevac (医疗救护直升机)there to transport a seriously sick local girl to the nearest hospital, 280 miles away in Anchorage.
8 Driving her SUV to the end of the airplane runway, she shone her headlights on the runway for the plane to follow. Great idea, but it wasn’t enough. More light was needed, so a neighbor called nearly every home in the village — 32 of them. Within 20 minutes,20 vehicles arrived at the airport, many of the drivers still in nightwear. Following directions from the medevac pilot, the cars lined up on one side of the runway.
The medevac made its final approach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. 9 Her illness has never been publicly revealed, but she was since successfully treated at the hospital.
In a world filled with uncertainty, the little village’s positive activism was a big deal. 10 As she told CNN, coming together “is kind of a normal deal.”
A.She had a plan.
B.The plane’s fuel was running out.
C.The airport’s runway lights were out.
D.However, it was not so much for Nelson.
E.She found a local pilot trying to turn on the lights by hand there.
F.It created a chain effect, inspiring neighboring areas and beyond.
G.The patient was loaded aboard, and the plane immediately took off again.
Passage 3
(2026·安徽合肥·一模)Gardening season is in full bloom, but keeping track of which seedling (幼苗) is which can be really tricky. Enter DIY oven-bake clay garden markers — these little lifesavers aren’t just practical; they also add a special charm to your greenery.
To kick off your garden marker project, you’ll need to get hands-on with some oven-bake clay. Start by kneading (揉捏) a piece of clay in your hands for a few minutes — think of it as a mini workout for your fingers. 11 Then, place it on the baking sheet and roll it out evenly to about 1/4 inch thick.
12 You might go for a classic straight marker with a pointed end to stick directly into the soil, or perhaps you’re feeling a bit more adventurous and want to create a round or heart shape with a hole to hang from a metal post.
Then give your garden markers some personality! Grab your favorite rubber stamps and press them firmly into the clay to make an impression. You can stamp the names of your plants, like “basil” or “tomatoes”, to keep things organized. 13
Now that your garden markers are looking great, it’s time to set them in stone. Follow the instructions on the clay package for baking. Generally, bake the markers at a low temperature (around 275°F) for about 15 minutes per 1/4 inch of thickness. 14 Then, they’ll be ready to give your garden a stylish look!
Finally, decide on the finishing touches. 15 If you’re feeling fancy, a coat of paint can be applied for a long-lasting finish and shine. Whether you’re channeling your inner Picasso with bright colors or leaving them in their natural state to provide an earthy feel, which is equally charming, the choice is all yours.
A.Remember to keep an eye on it.
B.Allow them to cool completely afterward.
C.Add some fun and creativity to your garden.
D.This softens the clay and makes it more workable.
E.Now comes the fun part: shaping your garden markers!
F.You may smooth rough edges with sandpaper for a polished look.
G.It’s also a good idea to go wild with fun phrases like “potato wonderland”.
Passage 4
(2026·安徽芜湖·一模)We get frustrated all the time. The line won’t move. The WiFi won’t work. From life’s biggest goals to its tiniest annoyances, frustration is in our daily life.
16 Unlike anger, which often targets an external cause, or stress which can arise from too many demands, frustration happens when things are not progressing in the way you anticipate. Now scientists are uncovering its surprising upside. Frustration can be transformed into motivation, pushing people to optimize solutions to overcome difficulties. So how can we employ the unexpected upsides of feeling frustrated?
· 17
Instead of seeing frustration as failure, view it as evidence that you’re being challenged at the right level. For example, academic tests will grow more difficult as you perform better — that’s because you are good enough. 18
·Acknowledge obstacles to be functional.
The first step is being aware that everything has roadblocks — work, learning a new hobby, or even re-learning the skill you once mastered. Frustration is an input to (not a side effect of) our pursuits. 19 If you know this in advance, you will anticipate obstacles, which can motivate self-growth, especially when you are told they are necessary parts of progress.
·Analyze the signal from the situation.
When faced with frustration, try to analyze the signal conveyed by the situation. This initial analysis helps you avoid being overwhelmed by negative emotions. 20 In this way, frustration is no longer a roadblock but a stepping stone toward personal growth.
Keep in mind that by reflecting on the obstacles, learning from the experience and applying the gained knowledge to subsequent challenges, you can truly benefit from frustration.
A.Look on frustration from a different angle.
B.Regard frustration as an academic challenge.
C.There is a reason for the existence of frustration.
D.Furthermore, you will center on practical solutions.
E.On a regular basis, it’s not going to get you to feel right at first.
F.Therefore, such a struggle isn’t a setback but proof of personal growth.
G.In short, frustration is of vital significance in developing our hands-on ability.
Passage 5
(2026·安徽亳州·一模)As teachers, we all say our job is to prepare kids for the real world. But too often, we mean the world of our parents or grandparents. The truth is that our students are stepping into a future where AI is everywhere.
At its core, AI is built on pattern recognition and replication (复制). 21 : How much of the world runs on patterns that can be automated? And how much of school is training kids to master predictable patterns — worksheets, formulas, five- paragraph essays — that AI can now do in seconds?
22 . Instead of training kids to reproduce what’s already been done, we should challenge them to imagine new solutions to real problems — and then decide where, or if, AI belongs in the process.
Does AI use in schools mean cheating? That depends on how we define cheating. Cheating is only breaking the rules we set, and our rules were built for an education system designed to produce factory workers. For over a century, schools trained kids to read large amounts of information, memorize it, and reproduce it in predictable formats. 23 . In that sense, yes — it “breaks” the old system.
But the real question isn’t whether students are cheating. The question is: 24 ? If a task can be completed convincingly by AI, maybe the problem isn’t the student — it’s the assignment.
Instead of banning the technology, we should encourage students to use it creatively, to solve problems in their communities, and to think bigger than a five-paragraph essay. 25 — but it will expose whether we’re preparing kids for the past or empowering them to imagine the future.
A.AI won’t replace teachers or students
B.That should force us to ask two questions
C.Will AI provide us with accurate information
D.Do we have the courage to design a better system
E.The opportunity lies in reshaping the existing model
F.Now we have a tool that can do all of that faster and better
G.With AI, a student can analyze solutions and brainstorm new ones
Passage 6
(2026·安徽淮北·一模)Many teens have chatted with AI chatbots, which can be helpful. However, this technology isn’t designed for youngsters, and problems can arise if no proper guidance is provided. 26
Value your own voice. 27 You should feel proud to make your unique voice heard. A chatbot may act like a person but it doesn’t have feelings or lived experience. Yet those are important things that make us human. You should ask yourself whether you really want help from something that can’t actually know your feelings.
28 Robots can’t understand you and your problems the way a real friend or doctor can. When you need help, feel confident to seek out real people. “You should get real answers from people that actually know you,” says Linda Charmaraman, who directs the Youth, Media & Wellbeing research lab at Wellesley College.
Avoid empty praise. A true friend will call you out when you do something wrong, which helps you learn and grow. But chatbots love to shower praise. They’ll agree with almost anything you say. 29 However, if you rely on chatbots for help in social situations, you may fail to learn it when you’ve made a mistake.
Beware of made-up facts. Honest people say “I don’t know” when they are unsure, but AI rarely does so. 30 These false responses can cause trouble. Remember: something sounding smart doesn’t mean it’s true. If you use bot-generated content, you’re responsible for it.
A.Consult real people for tips.
B.Assess solutions from chatbots.
C.Here are key tips for talking to AI chatbots.
D.Bots tend to confidently answer every question.
E.But it is necessary to learn how to use AI chatbots.
F.You have experiences, ideas and feelings that matter.
G.This tendency is helpful if you need a confidence boost.
Passage 7
(2026·安徽阜阳·一模)Janet Metzger, who has more than 50 years of library service to her credit, will retire at the end of this year. She has lived a life of turning children into lifelong readers.
Metzger, who started working in libraries in high school when she was an assistant at the Louisville Public Library, always knew she wanted to work with children. 31
After graduating from high school, she enrolled in college with that goal in mind. She continued to work at the library in Louisville during weekends and summers. When she graduated in 1978 with a degree in elementary education, she was interviewed for a few teaching positions, but they were all at the junior high or high school level. “ 32 I wanted to be working with little ones,” said Metzger.
Throughout Metzger’s time in college, she had been encouraged to consider library science as a career by Mary Louise Lowe, the director of the Louisville Public Library. 33 “It was a perfect fit,” said Metzger, who later became a children’s librarian and attended Kent State while working a full-time job to get a master’s in library science. “I loved turning kids onto good books and making reading fun for them,” smiled Metzger.
Metzger said over the years she recommended many different authors to children. 34 She wanted them to have fun and become part of the story.
35 “In all my jobs, I have worked with the community in some way,” she said. “I have always enjoyed making everyone aware of how important libraries are and turning people’s perception of libraries from just a place to borrow books to a place where you can find anything— information, entertainment, or some kind of help.”
A.That really wasn’t what I wanted.
B.Librarians are fantastic people to work with.
C.But the call to work with children came again.
D.However, she imagined being an elementary school teacher.
E.Metzger loves working with the community and promoting libraries.
F.When a child sought a good book, she’d start with humorous, interactive ones.
G.And Lowe hired her as a school library connector when she hadn’t found a job.
Passage 1
(2026·安徽宿州·一模)It’s not so long ago that contactless card payments were exciting and new, but the technology is already old hat. The new, better way to pay for things in shops? By using your phone to make a contactless payment.
Because traditionally, when you have paid with a card tap or using a chip and pin machine, ultimately the shop you are buying from will be noting down all of your card details. 36 And this could be a problem — it means that if the shop is hacked or plays fast and loose with its data, you could find your card number exposed to the world.
37 When you tap to pay with your device, it generates a unique ID number for that deal and sends that instead. So you can pay for your goods and the shop can get your money. No one needs to share any sensitive data.
It’s also more effective against the threat of thefts. If a pickpocket steals your card, they can immediately use up the money. But if they get your phone, when the phone goes to pay, it will typically perform a biometric check. 38 It will ask for a finger-print or use the camera to look at your face to check that you are who you say you are.
39 Because of this added security, the limit (限额) is typically higher than for contactless cards. In the UK, it’s around £100 for most retailers — though some shops including most supermarkets let you spend much more with just a tap of the phone.
Want to give it a try? To actually set things up, go to your Wallet app and follow the instructions. Typically this starts by scanning your card with your phone. Then it will automatically recognise the numbers and connect with your bank. Usually you receive a text message with a special code on it. When you pay, hold your phone over the payment machine, and pay for your goods! 40
A.And then, well, you’re done.
B.It helps to build the client list.
C.The setup process varies with banks.
D.Phone payments, by contrast, are smarter.
E.And phone payments are increasingly convenient too.
F.Therefore, it knows which bank account to take the money from.
G.It is a process of identifying a person by evaluating biological features.
Passage 2
(2026·安徽蚌埠·一模)Most of us are pretty good at celebrating our big wins: moving house, getting married, or passing a driving test. But what about all the small wins along the way? 41 Long-term goals are achieved in bite-size pieces, and taking note of these wins can keep you motivated. So, here are four ways to acknowledge and celebrate your wins, no matter the size.
Pause and slow down
When you achieve a small win, it can be appealing to simply crack on with the next task on your to-do list, or downplay the progress you’ve made. 42 This gives your brain time to absorb what you’ve accomplished, boosting the positive feelings, and reminding you that progress, however small, still counts.
Write a thank you note
43 Make the most of this by writing a letter, email, or text message to someone who has helped you achieve your small win. This could be a loved one, instructor, or even your past self, and really stress the importance of these mini-milestones.
Seize the moment
Take a photo, write a poem, or record a voice note about how you feel when you reach your milestone. These shots become reminders on harder days, and act as proof that progress is happening. 44
45
If you’re working on smaller steps to achieve a long-term goal, tracking your progress step-by-step can be an excellent way to stay motivated. Say you are training for a marathon, for example, which takes a considerable amount of planning, commitment, and requires running multiple times a week. Write down the date and details of every run on a whiteboard, or large sheet of paper on your wall. You could even buy some running themed stickers and get the thrill of popping one after every run!
A.Create a “win” wall
B.Hit your movement goal
C.The truth is that life is made up of little moments.
D.People tend to focus on small wins constantly and dismiss the next big goal.
E.Instead, practise intentionally pausing and slowing down after your small win.
F.Expressing gratitude comes with many benefits, from stress relief to improved sleep.
G.Over time, you’ll build a collection of moments that show just how far you’ve come.
Passage 3
(2026·安徽马鞍山·一模)Human memory is not a perfect recording device; it is a reconstructive process, more akin to storytelling than archival retrieval. Every time we recall an event, we subtly reshape it, influenced by subsequent experiences, suggestions, and our own beliefs. 46 This plasticity, while essential for learning and adaptation, becomes a critical vulnerability in the context of eyewitness testimony, which remains one of the most persuasive forms of evidence in courtrooms.
Research in cognitive psychology has repeatedly demonstrated how easily memories can be contaminated. In a classic study, participants who watched a video of a car accident later “remembered” seeing broken glass if the questioner used the word “smashed” instead of “hit,” even though no glass was present. 47 This phenomenon, known as the misinformation effect, shows that leading questions from law enforcement can inadvertently plant false details into a witness’s memory, corrupting its accuracy.
48 Confidence is a poor predictor of accuracy. A witness who is absolutely certain of their identification is not significantly more likely to be correct than one who is hesitant, yet juries are overwhelmingly swayed by confidence. The stress and trauma often associated with witnessing a crime further impair memory encoding and recall, contrary to the popular belief that high stress makes events “burn” into memory.
Given these inherent flaws, there is a growing movement to reform legal procedures. 49 Some jurisdictions now mandate “blind” lineups, where the administrator does not know the suspect’s identity, to prevent unconscious cues. Others require that confidence statements be taken at the time of identification, not later in court.
Ultimately, the goal is not to discard eyewitness testimony altogether but to treat it with appropriate caution, as the fallible evidence it is. 50 By educating jurors about the science of memory and implementing evidence-based procedural safeguards, the justice system can better pursue its fundamental aim: convicting the guilty while protecting the innocent from the profound consequence of a mistaken memory.
A.The legal system, however, has been slow to integrate these scientific insights.
B.Furthermore, the correlation between memory confidence and memory accuracy is dangerously weak.
C.This reconstructive nature makes our memories dynamic and adaptable.
D.Jurors tend to place unquestioning faith in the accounts of confident eyewitnesses.
E.Therefore, the reliance on technology like video surveillance should be increased.
F.These reforms focus on improving the methods used to obtain testimony, not on discrediting the witness.
G.Such findings have profound implications for how police interviews should be conducted.

Passage 4
(2026·安徽芜湖·一模)We get frustrated all the time. The line won’t move. The WiFi won’t work. From life’s biggest goals to its tiniest annoyances, frustration is in our daily life.
16 Unlike anger, which often targets an external cause, or stress which can arise from too many demands, frustration happens when things are not progressing in the way you anticipate. Now scientists are uncovering its surprising upside. Frustration can be transformed into motivation, pushing people to optimize solutions to overcome difficulties. So how can we employ the unexpected upsides of feeling frustrated?
· 17
Instead of seeing frustration as failure, view it as evidence that you’re being challenged at the right level. For example, academic tests will grow more difficult as you perform better — that’s because you are good enough. 18
·Acknowledge obstacles to be functional.
The first step is being aware that everything has roadblocks — work, learning a new hobby, or even re-learning the skill you once mastered. Frustration is an input to (not a side effect of) our pursuits. 19 If you know this in advance, you will anticipate obstacles, which can motivate self-growth, especially when you are told they are necessary parts of progress.
·Analyze the signal from the situation.
When faced with frustration, try to analyze the signal conveyed by the situation. This initial analysis helps you avoid being overwhelmed by negative emotions. 20 In this way, frustration is no longer a roadblock but a stepping stone toward personal growth.
Keep in mind that by reflecting on the obstacles, learning from the experience and applying the gained knowledge to subsequent challenges, you can truly benefit from frustration.
A.Look on frustration from a different angle.
B.Regard frustration as an academic challenge.
C.There is a reason for the existence of frustration.
D.Furthermore, you will center on practical solutions.
E.On a regular basis, it’s not going to get you to feel right at first.
F.Therefore, such a struggle isn’t a setback but proof of personal growth.
G.In short, frustration is of vital significance in developing our hands-on ability.
【答案】16.C 17.A 18.F 19.E 20.D

16.下文“Unlike anger, which often targets an external cause, or stress which can arise from too many demands, frustration happens when things are not progressing in the way you anticipate.(与通常指向外部原因的愤怒,或是由过多需求引发的压力不同,挫败感产生于事情未按你预期的方式发展时。)”点明了挫败感与愤怒、压力的成因差异,明确了挫败感的产生原因。选项C“挫败感的存在是有原因的”,能够自然引出下文对挫败感产生原因的具体阐释。故选C。
17.下文“Instead of seeing frustration as failure, view it as evidence that you’re being challenged at the right level.(不要把挫败感看作失败,而要将其视为你正面临恰当难度挑战的证明。)”核心强调要转变看待挫败感的视角,用积极的角度看待这种情绪,且本段为文章的第一个方法建议,需要主旨句统领内容。选项A“从不同的角度看待挫败感”,精准概括了下文的核心观点,作为本段主旨句,能够总领全段内容。故选A。
18.上文“For example, academic tests will grow more difficult as you perform better — that’s because you are good enough.(例如,随着你表现越来越好,学科测试会变得更难——这是因为你足够优秀。)”以学科测试为例,说明挫败感的出现是因为自身能力提升面临了更高难度的挑战,并非是负面的失败信号。选项F“因此,这样的挣扎并非挫折,而是个人成长的证明”,通过“因此”承接上文的举例论证,对例子进行总结升华,进一步印证了要从积极角度看待挫败感的观点,与本段主旨相呼应。故选F。
19.上文“Frustration is an input to (not a side effect of) our pursuits.(挫败感是我们追求目标过程中的一种投入,而非副作用。)”点明了挫败感在追求目标过程中的正向属性,下文“If you know this in advance, you will anticipate obstacles, which can motivate self-growth.(如果你提前明白这一点,就会预见障碍,这能推动自我成长。)”说明提前认知挫败感的属性会带来的积极影响。选项E“起初,这种情绪通常并不会让你感觉良好”,承接上文对挫败感属性的界定,同时客观说明挫败感本身的情绪感受,为下文提前认知其属性的重要性做铺垫。故选E。
20.上文“When faced with frustration, try to analyze the signal conveyed by the situation. This initial analysis helps you avoid being overwhelmed by negative emotions.(面对挫败感时,试着分析处境所传递的信号。这种初步的分析能帮助你避免被负面情绪压垮。)”点明了面对挫败感时分析处境信号的做法,以及该做法的第一个积极作用——摆脱负面情绪的困扰。下文“In this way, frustration is no longer a roadblock but a stepping stone toward personal growth.(通过这种方式,挫败感不再是障碍,而是个人成长的垫脚石。)”说明该做法最终能实现的积极效果。选项D“此外,你还会将注意力集中在切实可行的解决办法上”,通过“此外”承接上文的第一个积极作用,进一步说明分析处境信号的第二个积极作用,同时为下文最终的积极效果做铺垫。故选D。
Passage 5
(2026·安徽亳州·一模)As teachers, we all say our job is to prepare kids for the real world. But too often, we mean the world of our parents or grandparents. The truth is that our students are stepping into a future where AI is everywhere.
At its core, AI is built on pattern recognition and replication (复制). 21 : How much of the world runs on patterns that can be automated? And how much of school is training kids to master predictable patterns — worksheets, formulas, five- paragraph essays — that AI can now do in seconds?
22 . Instead of training kids to reproduce what’s already been done, we should challenge them to imagine new solutions to real problems — and then decide where, or if, AI belongs in the process.
Does AI use in schools mean cheating? That depends on how we define cheating. Cheating is only breaking the rules we set, and our rules were built for an education system designed to produce factory workers. For over a century, schools trained kids to read large amounts of information, memorize it, and reproduce it in predictable formats. 23 . In that sense, yes — it “breaks” the old system.
But the real question isn’t whether students are cheating. The question is: 24 ? If a task can be completed convincingly by AI, maybe the problem isn’t the student — it’s the assignment.
Instead of banning the technology, we should encourage students to use it creatively, to solve problems in their communities, and to think bigger than a five-paragraph essay. 25 — but it will expose whether we’re preparing kids for the past or empowering them to imagine the future.
A.AI won’t replace teachers or students
B.That should force us to ask two questions
C.Will AI provide us with accurate information
D.Do we have the courage to design a better system
E.The opportunity lies in reshaping the existing model
F.Now we have a tool that can do all of that faster and better
G.With AI, a student can analyze solutions and brainstorm new ones

(——但它会揭示我们是在为过去培养孩子,还是在赋予他们想象未来的能力。)”可知,前文提出应鼓励学生创新使用AI,后文以转折说明AI的存在能检验教育的方向,此空应先点明AI不会取代老师和学生这一观点,A选项“AI won’t replace teachers or students (人工智能不会取代老师和学生)”承接前文的AI使用建议,且与后文的转折内容形成衔接,符合语境。故选A项。
Passage 6
(2026·安徽淮北·一模)Many teens have chatted with AI chatbots, which can be helpful. However, this technology isn’t designed for youngsters, and problems can arise if no proper guidance is provided. 26
Value your own voice. 27 You should feel proud to make your unique voice heard. A chatbot may act like a person but it doesn’t have feelings or lived experience. Yet those are important things that make us human. You should ask yourself whether you really want help from something that can’t actually know your feelings.
28 Robots can’t understand you and your problems the way a real friend or doctor can. When you need help, feel confident to seek out real people. “You should get real answers from people that actually know you,” says Linda Charmaraman, who directs the Youth, Media & Wellbeing research lab at Wellesley College.
Avoid empty praise. A true friend will call you out when you do something wrong, which helps you learn and grow. But chatbots love to shower praise. They’ll agree with almost anything you say. 29 However, if you rely on chatbots for help in social situations, you may fail to learn it when you’ve made a mistake.
Beware of made-up facts. Honest people say “I don’t know” when they are unsure, but AI rarely does so. 30 These false responses can cause trouble. Remember: something sounding smart doesn’t mean it’s true. If you use bot-generated content, you’re responsible for it.
A.Consult real people for tips.
B.Assess solutions from chatbots.
C.Here are key tips for talking to AI chatbots.
D.Bots tend to confidently answer every question.
E.But it is necessary to learn how to use AI chatbots.
F.You have experiences, ideas and feelings that matter.
G.This tendency is helpful if you need a confidence boost.
【答案】26.C 27.F 28.A 29.G 30.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对青少年与AI聊天机器人交流的现象,指出该技术并非为年轻人设计,缺乏适当指导可能引发问题,进而给出了“重视自身声音、咨询真人建议、避免空洞表扬、警惕虚假信息”四大核心建议。
26.根据上文“However, this technology isn’t designed for youngsters, and problems can arise if no proper guidance is provided.(然而,这项技术并非为青少年设计的,如果缺乏适当的指导,就可能会出现各种问题)”及下文各段首句“Value your own voice.(重视自己的声音)”、“Avoid empty praise.(避免空洞的表扬)”等可知,上文提出“缺乏指导会有问题”的痛点,下文紧接着给出具体建议,设空处需起到“引出建议”的过渡作用。C选项“以下是与AI聊天机器人交流的关键建议”中的“key tips”直接呼应下文的四条具体指导,“talking to AI chatbots”衔接上文话题,完美承接“缺乏指导→提供指导”的逻辑,形成语义闭环。故选C项。
27.根据上文“Value your own voice.(重视自己的声音)”及下文“You should feel proud to make your unique voice heard. A chatbot may act like a person but it doesn’t have feelings or lived experience.(你应该为自己能够发出自己独特的声音而感到自豪。虽然聊天机器人可能表现得像人一样,但它没有情感和生活经历)”可知,上文提出“重视自身声音”的观点,下文强调“独特性”和“人类的情感与经历”,设空处需补充“自身声音有价值”的具体依据。F选项“你拥有重要的经历、想法和情感”中的“experiences, ideas and feelings”既呼应下文“feelings or lived experience”,又解释了“为何要重视自身声音”——因为这些是你独有的、有价值的东西,与“unique voice”形成逻辑呼应。故选F项。
28.根据下文“Robots can’t understand you and your problems the way a real friend or doctor can. When you need help, feel confident to seek out real people.(机器人无法像真正的朋友或医生那样理解你以及你的问题。当你需要帮助时,要勇于去寻求真正的人来帮忙)”可知,该段核心是“建议找真人求助”,设空处需作为段落主题句,概括核心观点。A选项“向真人咨询建议”直接点明段落主旨,“Consult real people”与下文“seek out real people”、“get real answers from people”形成关键词对应,明确该段的核心建议方向,符合主题句的功能。故选A项。
29.根据上文“But chatbots love to shower praise. They’ll agree with almost anything you say.(但聊天机器人特别喜欢给予赞美。它们几乎会认同你所说的任何内容)”及下文“However, if you rely on chatbots for help in social situations, you may fail to learn it when you’ve made a mistake.(然而,如果在社交场合你依赖聊天机器人来寻求帮助,那么一旦你犯了错误,你就无法从中吸取教训了)”可知,上文描述聊天机器人 “爱表扬”的特点,下文通过“however”转折指出其弊端,设空处需先说明该特点的正面作用,形成“优点→转折→弊端”的逻辑。G选项“如果你需要提升自信,这种倾向会很有帮助”中的“This tendency”指代上文“shower praise, agree with almost anything”,“helpful”体现其正面价值,与下文“however”后的弊端形成对比,使逻辑更完整。故选G项。
30.根据上文“Honest people say “I don’t know” when they are unsure, but AI rarely does so.(诚实的人在不确定时会说“我不知道”,但人工智能却很少会这样做)”及下文“These false responses can cause trouble.(这些虚假的回应可能会带来麻烦)”可知,上文指出AI“很少说不知道”的特点,下文提到“虚假回应”,设空处需补充AI“不确定时的具体做法”,即“虚假回应”的具体表现。D选项“聊天机器人倾向于自信地回答每个问题”承接上文,说明AI即使不确定也会“自信回答”,这正是下文“false responses”的来源,形成“AI的做法→虚假回应→引发麻烦”的逻辑链。故选D项。
Passage 7
(2026·安徽阜阳·一模)Janet Metzger, who has more than 50 years of library service to her credit, will retire at the end of this year. She has lived a life of turning children into lifelong readers.
Metzger, who started working in libraries in high school when she was an assistant at the Louisville Public Library, always knew she wanted to work with children. 31
After graduating from high school, she enrolled in college with that goal in mind. She continued to work at the library in Louisville during weekends and summers. When she graduated in 1978 with a degree in elementary education, she was interviewed for a few teaching positions, but they were all at the junior high or high school level. “ 32 I wanted to be working with little ones,” said Metzger.
Throughout Metzger’s time in college, she had been encouraged to consider library science as a career by Mary Louise Lowe, the director of the Louisville Public Library. 33 “It was a perfect fit,” said Metzger, who later became a children’s librarian and attended Kent State while working a full-time job to get a master’s in library science. “I loved turning kids onto good books and making reading fun for them,” smiled Metzger.
Metzger said over the years she recommended many different authors to children. 34 She wanted them to have fun and become part of the story.
35 “In all my jobs, I have worked with the community in some way,” she said. “I have always enjoyed making everyone aware of how important libraries are and turning people’s perception of libraries from just a place to borrow books to a place where you can find anything— information, entertainment, or some kind of help.”
A.That really wasn’t what I wanted.
B.Librarians are fantastic people to work with.
C.But the call to work with children came again.
D.However, she imagined being an elementary school teacher.
E.Metzger loves working with the community and promoting libraries.
F.When a child sought a good book, she’d start with humorous, interactive ones.
G.And Lowe hired her as a school library connector when she hadn’t found a job.

Passage 1
(2026·安徽宿州·一模)It’s not so long ago that contactless card payments were exciting and new, but the technology is already old hat. The new, better way to pay for things in shops? By using your phone to make a contactless payment.
Because traditionally, when you have paid with a card tap or using a chip and pin machine, ultimately the shop you are buying from will be noting down all of your card details. 36 And this could be a problem — it means that if the shop is hacked or plays fast and loose with its data, you could find your card number exposed to the world.
37 When you tap to pay with your device, it generates a unique ID number for that deal and sends that instead. So you can pay for your goods and the shop can get your money. No one needs to share any sensitive data.
It’s also more effective against the threat of thefts. If a pickpocket steals your card, they can immediately use up the money. But if they get your phone, when the phone goes to pay, it will typically perform a biometric check. 38 It will ask for a finger-print or use the camera to look at your face to check that you are who you say you are.
39 Because of this added security, the limit (限额) is typically higher than for contactless cards. In the UK, it’s around £100 for most retailers — though some shops including most supermarkets let you spend much more with just a tap of the phone.
Want to give it a try? To actually set things up, go to your Wallet app and follow the instructions. Typically this starts by scanning your card with your phone. Then it will automatically recognise the numbers and connect with your bank. Usually you receive a text message with a special code on it. When you pay, hold your phone over the payment machine, and pay for your goods! 40
A.And then, well, you’re done.
B.It helps to build the client list.
C.The setup process varies with banks.
D.Phone payments, by contrast, are smarter.
E.And phone payments are increasingly convenient too.
F.Therefore, it knows which bank account to take the money from.
G.It is a process of identifying a person by evaluating biological features.
【答案】36.F 37.D 38.G 39.E 40.A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍手机非接触式支付已成新方式,对比银行卡支付说明其信息更安全、防盗性更强,且支付限额更高更便捷,还简单介绍了其使用操作。
36.由上文“Because traditionally, when you have paid with a card tap or using a chip and pin machine, ultimately the shop you are buying from will be noting down all of your card details.(因为传统上,当你刷卡或使用插卡输密机付款时,你购物的商店最终会记录下你所有的银行卡信息。)”和下文“And this could be a problem — it means that if the shop is hacked or plays fast and loose with its data, you could find your card number exposed to the world.(而这可能会带来问题 —— 这意味着如果商店被黑客攻击或随意处理数据,你的银行卡号可能会泄露给所有人。)”可知,空格处需承接前文商店记录银行卡信息的行为,说明该行为的直接作用,同时为后文的信息泄露问题做铺垫。F项“Therefore, it knows which bank account to take the money from.(因此,商店就知道从哪个银行账户扣款。)”符合语境,“Therefore”表因果,承接前文商店记录银行卡信息的行为,解释了该行为的目的,且该行为正是后文信息泄露风险的根源,逻辑连贯。故选F项。
37.由上文提及的银行卡支付会泄露信息的问题,和下文“When you tap to pay with your device, it generates a unique ID number for that deal and sends that instead. So you can pay for your goods and the shop can get your money. No one needs to share any sensitive data.(当你用设备轻触付款时,设备会为该笔交易生成一个唯一的识别码并发送出去。这样你可以支付货款,商店也能收到钱,没人需要分享任何敏感数据。)”可知,空格处需形成对比,引出手机支付的优势,衔接银行卡支付的弊端与手机支付的安全机制。D项“Phone payments, by contrast, are smarter.(相比之下,手机支付要更加智能。)”符合语境,“by contrast”将手机支付与前文的银行卡支付形成对比,“smarter”概括了手机支付的优势,且后文具体阐释了手机支付更安全的原因,逻辑清晰。故选D项。
38.由上文“But if they get your phone, when the phone goes to pay, it will typically perform a biometric check.(但如果他们偷走了你的手机,当用手机付款时,手机通常会进行生物特征验证。)”和下文“It will ask for a finger-print or use the camera to look at your face to check that you are who you say you are.(它会要求输入指纹或使用摄像头识别人脸,以验证你的身份。)”可知,空格处需解释前文的“biometric check”,衔接生物特征验证的概念与具体验证方式。G项“It is a process of identifying a person by evaluating biological features.(这是一种通过评估生物特征来识别个人身份的过程。)”符合语境,“It”指代前文的“biometric check”,该句直接解释了这一概念的含义,而下文的指纹、人脸识别正是对“biological features”的具体举例,逻辑连贯。故选G项。
39.由下文“Because of this added security, the limit (限额) is typically higher than for contactless cards. In the UK, it’s around £100 for most retailers — though some shops including most supermarkets let you spend much more with just a tap of the phone.(由于这种额外的安全性,手机支付的限额通常比非接触式银行卡支付更高。在英国,大多数零售商的手机支付限额约为 100 英镑,不过包括大多数超市在内的一些商店,只需轻触手机就能支付更多金额。)”可知,空格处需作为主题句,概括本段手机支付在使用上更便捷的特点,核心体现支付限额高的优势。E项“And phone payments are increasingly convenient too.(而且手机支付也越来越便捷。)”符合语境,该句总领全段,“convenient”概括了手机支付限额高带来的使用便利,而下文正是对这一便捷性的具体阐释,逻辑清晰。故选E项。
40.由上文“To actually set things up, go to your Wallet app and follow the instructions. Typically this starts by scanning your card with your phone. Then it will automatically recognise the numbers and connect with your bank. Usually you receive a text message with a special code on it. When you pay, hold your phone over the payment machine, and pay for your goods!(实际设置时,打开钱包应用并按照提示操作。通常首先用手机扫描银行卡,然后手机会自动识别卡号并与银行建立连接,你通常会收到一条带有验证码的短信。付款时,将手机放在支付机上,即可完成购物付款!)”可知,空格处需总结前文的手机支付操作流程,说明操作的最终结果。A项“And then, well, you’re done.(然后,就搞定了。)”符合语境,该句是对前文一系列手机支付操作的最终总结,简洁明了地说明操作完成,与前文的操作步骤形成完整的流程衔接,逻辑连贯。故选A项。
Passage 2
(2026·安徽蚌埠·一模)Most of us are pretty good at celebrating our big wins: moving house, getting married, or passing a driving test. But what about all the small wins along the way? 41 Long-term goals are achieved in bite-size pieces, and taking note of these wins can keep you motivated. So, here are four ways to acknowledge and celebrate your wins, no matter the size.
Pause and slow down
When you achieve a small win, it can be appealing to simply crack on with the next task on your to-do list, or downplay the progress you’ve made. 42 This gives your brain time to absorb what you’ve accomplished, boosting the positive feelings, and reminding you that progress, however small, still counts.
Write a thank you note
43 Make the most of this by writing a letter, email, or text message to someone who has helped you achieve your small win. This could be a loved one, instructor, or even your past self, and really stress the importance of these mini-milestones.
Seize the moment
Take a photo, write a poem, or record a voice note about how you feel when you reach your milestone. These shots become reminders on harder days, and act as proof that progress is happening. 44
45
If you’re working on smaller steps to achieve a long-term goal, tracking your progress step-by-step can be an excellent way to stay motivated. Say you are training for a marathon, for example, which takes a considerable amount of planning, commitment, and requires running multiple times a week. Write down the date and details of every run on a whiteboard, or large sheet of paper on your wall. You could even buy some running themed stickers and get the thrill of popping one after every run!
A.Create a “win” wall
B.Hit your movement goal
C.The truth is that life is made up of little moments.
D.People tend to focus on small wins constantly and dismiss the next big goal.
E.Instead, practise intentionally pausing and slowing down after your small win.
F.Expressing gratitude comes with many benefits, from stress relief to improved sleep.
G.Over time, you’ll build a collection of moments that show just how far you’ve come.

Passage 3
(2026·安徽马鞍山·一模)Human memory is not a perfect recording device; it is a reconstructive process, more akin to storytelling than archival retrieval. Every time we recall an event, we subtly reshape it, influenced by subsequent experiences, suggestions, and our own beliefs. 46 This plasticity, while essential for learning and adaptation, becomes a critical vulnerability in the context of eyewitness testimony, which remains one of the most persuasive forms of evidence in courtrooms.
Research in cognitive psychology has repeatedly demonstrated how easily memories can be contaminated. In a classic study, participants who watched a video of a car accident later “remembered” seeing broken glass if the questioner used the word “smashed” instead of “hit,” even though no glass was present. 47 This phenomenon, known as the misinformation effect, shows that leading questions from law enforcement can inadvertently plant false details into a witness’s memory, corrupting its accuracy.
48 Confidence is a poor predictor of accuracy. A witness who is absolutely certain of their identification is not significantly more likely to be correct than one who is hesitant, yet juries are overwhelmingly swayed by confidence. The stress and trauma often associated with witnessing a crime further impair memory encoding and recall, contrary to the popular belief that high stress makes events “burn” into memory.
Given these inherent flaws, there is a growing movement to reform legal procedures. 49 Some jurisdictions now mandate “blind” lineups, where the administrator does not know the suspect’s identity, to prevent unconscious cues. Others require that confidence statements be taken at the time of identification, not later in court.
Ultimately, the goal is not to discard eyewitness testimony altogether but to treat it with appropriate caution, as the fallible evidence it is. 50 By educating jurors about the science of memory and implementing evidence-based procedural safeguards, the justice system can better pursue its fundamental aim: convicting the guilty while protecting the innocent from the profound consequence of a mistaken memory.
A.The legal system, however, has been slow to integrate these scientific insights.
B.Furthermore, the correlation between memory confidence and memory accuracy is dangerously weak.
C.This reconstructive nature makes our memories dynamic and adaptable.
D.Jurors tend to place unquestioning faith in the accounts of confident eyewitnesses.
E.Therefore, the reliance on technology like video surveillance should be increased.
F.These reforms focus on improving the methods used to obtain testimony, not on discrediting the witness.
G.Such findings have profound implications for how police interviews should be conducted.
【答案】46.C 47.G 48.B 49.F 50.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人类记忆的重构性及不完美性,及其对目击证词的影响,并提及相关法律程序改革建议。
46.根据上文“Human memory is not a perfect recording device; it is a reconstructive process, more akin to storytelling than archival retrieval.(人类的记忆并非完美的记录设备,它是一个重构过程,更像是讲故事而非档案检索)”以及下文“This plasticity, while essential for learning and adaptation(这种可塑性虽然对学习和适应至关重要)”可知,此处需衔接记忆的重构性与可塑性。C选项“This reconstructive nature makes our memories dynamic and adaptable.(这种重构性使我们的记忆具有动态性和适应性)”中reconstructive nature呼应上文核心,adaptable引出下文plasticity,符合语境。故选C项。
47.根据上文“In a classic study, participants who watched a video of a car accident later ‘remembered’ seeing broken glass if the questioner used the word ‘smashed’ instead of ‘hit,’ even though no glass was present.(在一项经典研究中,观看了车祸视频的参与者,若提问者用“猛撞”而非“撞击”一词,他们后来会“记得”看到了碎玻璃,尽管实际上并没有玻璃)”以及下文“This phenomenon, known as the misinformation effect, shows that leading questions from law enforcement can inadvertently plant false details into a witness’s memory.(这种被称为误导信息效应的现象表明,执法部门的引导性问题可能会无意中向证人记忆中植入虚假细节)”可知,此处需体现研究结果对执法问询的意义。G选项“Such findings have profound implications for how police interviews should be conducted.(这些发现对警方应如何进行问询具有深远意义)”中Such findings指代上文研究结果,衔接下文执法部门的问询问题,符合语境。故选G项。
48.根据下文“Confidence is a poor predictor of accuracy. A witness who is absolutely certain of their identification is not significantly more likely to be correct than one who is hesitant.(自信心并不能很好地预测准确性。对自己的指认深信不疑的证人,其正确率并不比犹豫不决的证人高多少)”可知,本段核心是记忆自信心与准确性的关联薄弱。B选项“Furthermore, the correlation between memory confidence and memory accuracy is dangerously weak.(此外,记忆自信心与记忆准确性之间的关联性弱得令人担忧)”作为段落主旨句,统领下文内容,符合语境。故选B项。
49.根据上文“Given these inherent flaws, there is a growing movement to reform legal procedures.(鉴于这些固有缺陷,改革法律程序的呼声日益高涨)”以及下文“Some jurisdictions now mandate “blind” lineups, where the administrator does not know the suspect’s identity, to prevent unconscious cues. Others require that confidence statements be taken at the time of identification, not later in court.(如今,部分司法管辖区强制推行“盲指认”程序 —— 即指认环节的执行者并不知晓嫌疑人的身份 —— 以此杜绝无意识的暗示行为。另有一些司法管辖区则要求,证人对自身证词可信度的陈述必须在指认当场作出,而非留待庭审阶段再补充)”可知,此处需衔接法律改革及具体举措。F选项“These reforms focus on improving the methods used to obtain testimony, not on discrediting the witness.(这些改革侧重于改进获取证词的方法,而非质疑证人的可信度)”中These reforms呼应上文改革运动,引出下文具体改革措施,符合语境。故选F项。
50.根据上文“Ultimately, the goal is not to discard eyewitness testimony altogether but to treat it with appropriate caution, as the fallible evidence it is.(归根结底,我们的目标并非完全摒弃目击证词,而是以应有的谨慎态度对待它,承认其作为易出错证据的本质)”以及下文“By educating jurors about the science of memory and implementing evidence-based procedural safeguards(通过向陪审员普及记忆科学知识并实施基于证据的程序保障措施)”可知,此处需衔接对目击证词的态度与具体保障手段。A选项“The legal system, however, has been slow to integrate these scientific insights.(然而,法律体系在整合这些科学见解方面进展缓慢)”以转折指出当前不足,引出下文针对性改进措施,符合语境。故选A项。
