From the hallway, Monika Heidi Duque’s first-grade class could be mistaken for chaos. Children shifted seats, compared drafts, and traded thoughts and opinions that flooded out faster than they could be written down. Duque called it “the best kind of mess”, and there is a method for it.
“It’s a place where my students are able to wonder, to be curious, to take risks, and to make things with their hands and minds,” said Duque, who was a finalist for the 2026 California Teachers of the Year.
This honor recognizes her unique ability to transform a first-grade classroom into a “free-flowing” space where 6-year-olds tackle complex subjects like urban planning and design. To get these topics across to children, she translates them into familiar, everyday things: Where do people walk? What belongs in a park? How do we share space fairly? Students learn to explain choices and treat design as problem-solving.
Duque often finds inspiration in the local news. For instance, after reading a report about a city park’s struggle to redesign an old area, Duque asked her students to design a new public space so that they could involve themselves in events and decisions affecting their well-being. Students drew their visions for forests and rivers on paper. This project eventually evolved into 3-D models made from recycled materials. Such activities greatly inspired students to see their role in shaping their community’s future as Duque had expected.
“I just keep my eyes open to what’s in our city, look for what’s relevant to kids, and get ideas from there,” she said. “This is how I approach teaching.” Her principal, Linda Crowder, praised her as a “lifelong learner” who always finds creative ways to keep her students curious.
4. What does “the best kind of mess” imply about Duque’s classroom?
A. It is unplanned yet idea-rich. B. It is interactive and purposeful.
C. It has extremely poor discipline. D. It features teacher-led explorations.
5. How does Duque make complex subjects accessible to a first-grader?
A. By turning lessons into games. B. By providing a free-flowing space.
C. By connecting them to daily life. D. By simplifying classroom language.
6. What was the park redesign task intended to help students gain?
A. Environmental awareness. B. Insight into well-being.
C. Knowledge of urban design. D. Community involvement.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Lifelong Learning, Lasting Doing B. Personal Stories, Classroom Tasks
C. Beyond Walls: The City as a Textbook D. First-graders: Future Urban Planners
C
A new robot inspired by desert tumbleweeds (风滚草) could mark the start of new exploration. The device, called HERMES, uses passing winds to roll across the ground, which is much like the dry plant balls that wander across deserts. The creator Sanjay Manoharan first had the idea while watching people enjoy the power of the wind on a stormy winter day. These dry plant coverings may look random, but they travel long distances and spread seeds effectively. Curious about their motion, Sanjay Manoharan and his team combined computer models with wind-tunnel tests to see how such a light, open structure can move in a clear direction.
“Nature had already perfected this art long before us,” Manoharan explained. “In the upright position, the upper half, being more open, allowed airflow to pass through freely. In contrast, the lower half was more packed and thus offered greater resistance. This asymmetry changes how the air flows around the plant and creates pushing forces. As a result, when the wind blows, the ball begins to roll forward.”
Using printing equipment, engineers created a lightweight shell with more holes on one side than the other. The end result is a robot built on one of nature’s most elegant designs. In field tests, HERMES rolled in a gentle wind, climbed slopes (斜坡) and sent back position data. It not only required far less power to cross the same course than a robot requiring constant control, but finished the task faster than its counterpart.
However, wind is not always available. To keep the robot useful on still days, the team placed a tiny flying device inside the shell. It can give HERMES a short push, turn it in a new direction or let it lift briefly into the air. Most of the time, HERMES stays passive, spending no energy while the wind moves it. When motion stops, it uses only a short burst of power, and similar designs could one day explore disaster zones, minefields or even the windy surface of Mars.
8. Why was Sanjay Manoharan curious about tumbleweeds?
A. They are similar to some robots. B. They can take advantage of wind.
C. They are good at spreading seeds. D. They can make directional movement.
9. What does the underlined word “asymmetry” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Heavy core. B. Uneven structure. C. Natural growth. D. Irregular movement.
10. What was HERMES’s main advantage?
A. Its superior energy efficiency. B. Its strong climbing ability.
C. Its great positioning function. D. Its new lightweight material.
11. What can be inferred about HERMES from the last paragraph?
A. It prioritizes speed in the rescue. B. It relies on a small device to operate.
C. It can change its path without wind. D. It will consume power in most cases.
D
In a world where digital devices are everywhere, many teachers see: handwriting supports thinking and literacy (读写能力), especially from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.
It is believed that forming letters by hand strengthens memory. This makes sense because handwriting activates various areas of the brain by combining sight, sound, and physical movement. When children form a letter, they are involved in a dynamic process that solidifies its identity in their minds. This integration of the hand and eye is key to remembering letters.
When letter formation becomes automatic, a child’s brain is freed for higher-level work. Instead of struggling with strokes (笔画), children can focus on sentences, ideas, and organization, which is where fluent writing begins. The advantage can extend well beyond childhood. Research on college students suggests that handwritten notes are better remembered than typed ones, likely because handwriting forces the brain to process and summarize information rather than just copying it word for word.
Effective instruction should be clear and structured: straightforward modeling, guided practice, and immediate feedback. Handwriting also works best when it is part of everyday learning. Students can write numbers in math and record vocabulary in social studies. One common problem is pushing students into writing before they’re in the developmental stage. For younger learners, a proper approach means starting with motor activities that strengthen the shoulder and core, followed by fine motor practice using tools like clay, sand or chalk. These activities prepare the hand and brain for writing long before a pencil ever touches paper.
For students with learning difficulties, handwriting can be particularly helpful. Cursive (连笔), with its connected strokes, provides a pattern that helps children struggling with reading to process words as whole units rather than a series of disconnected letters, which are harder to remember. For those with writing difficulties, the continuous motion of cursive can ease the demands of repeatedly lifting and placing the pencil, making writing feel less separated. The sense of achievement gained from mastering this skill can be transformative.
12. Which aspect of handwriting helps strengthen children’s memory for letters?
A. The slow mental process. B. Multi-sensory engagement.
C. The focus on letter identity. D. Regular practice of writing.
13. Why is research on college students mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To compare their habits with children’s. B. To advocate handwritten notes in college.
C. To highlight their academic performance. D. To show universal benefits of handwriting.
14. What is suggested about handwriting instruction?
A. It should be developmentally appropriate. B. It should support self-paced writing.
C. It should start with paper-and-pencil tasks. D. It should be put first in core subjects.
15. How does cursive benefit students with reading difficulties?
A. By creating a steady pattern. B. By connecting different units.
C. By reducing the writing stress. D. By promoting overall recognition.
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。
The end of the year, with its many holidays, is usually the peak time for shopping. Yet the flood of promotions can be exhausting. ___16___
In response, Buy Nothing Day, observed annually in November in many countries, seeks to suspend it. Instead of leading people to online stores, it invites them to ask what they truly need and how they want to celebrate. The fashion industry produces a large share of global waste each year. ___17___ It demands extra production and higher energy use, and it brings even more packaging, much of which is plastic that will last for centuries.
___18___ It encourages small, intentional actions that support personal well-being and the planet, such as slowing down and reconnecting with nature. A short walk outdoors can lower stress and bring attention back to the present moment. Noticing the wind, the light or the rhythm of a neighborhood helps people feel more grounded and more willing to care for their surroundings.
Beyond spending less, another step is to care for what we already own. Extending the life of clothes or other everyday objects reduces demand for new products and the energy behind them. ___19___ Such “re-loving” shifts our focus from accumulation (积累) to appreciation and responsibility.
Buy Nothing Day also highlights creative alternatives to shopping. Instead of buying new things,people can turn saved paper into cards or cook a meal with whatever is already at home. ___20___ Gradually, they will turn Buy Nothing Day from a rule of “don’t buy” into an invitation to rediscover what it means to have enough.
A. Holiday shopping adds to this situation.
B. Green living has more benefits than thought.
C. Donating whatever is not needed should come first.
D. Yet Buy Nothing Day isn’t taking away anyone’s joy.
E. Repairing a sweater can become a quiet act of gratitude.
F. In this rush, it’s easy to ignore the environmental cost of consumption.
G. When repeated, such choices can reshape people’s expectations of holidays.

A single act of kindness can transform a rough day and restore our belief in the goodness of life. I am sharing my moment where others offered ___21___ exactly when it mattered most.

Two weeks passing, she didn’t ___24___. My boss asked, “Why not ___25___ that bag?” I opened it, but there was nothing inside but a ___26___ with eye-catching words: For you, Lily.
I didn’t understand but examined the bag carefully again. Then, I ___27___ the inner pocket and was shocked to find $700. It was the biggest ___28___ that came when I needed it the most. But my boss stayed calm and just ___29___, asking me to accept it.
I realized that this lady was not a random client and it was my boss who ___30___ the whole thing. Knowing I was too ___31___ to ask for help, my boss did it ___32___. It saved me during my hardest time.

Dim sum (点心), a celebrated traditional Chinese food, has won admiration far beyond its place of origin. It’s closely linked with a Chinese tradition — drinking tea and enjoying the ___36___ (taste) snacks together.

Yet at its heart, enjoying dim sum remains a Chinese tradition of time spent together.

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。
My father became my only guardian after my mother passed away. Chatting with others helped ease his deep sadness. Every morning, he would go to his beloved local donut (甜甜圈) shop, where he always started warm conversations with the people there. When we left, along with the bear claw pastry in a small box, there was always a chocolate-covered donut prepared just for me. On the ride in Dad’s truck, my little task was to hold Dad’s coffee between my knees, to stop it from spilling on the way.
As time went by and I grew up, that donut shop became a special place for us to celebrate all kinds of my achievements. Even if I didn’t win or get a ranking, Dad would still take me there. Finally, I grew into an adult and moved out of Dad’s house. On my wedding day, Dad handed me a small gift box. Inside it was a tiny chocolate-covered donut. My heart was deeply moved, melting faster than the chocolate frosting would in a hot oven.
In October 1989, Dad was told he had incurable cancer. We lived an ocean apart, so our visits were very rare. A year later, I was hurt in an attack, and had to receive three back surgeries in hospital. Dad’s cancer had developed so badly that his body could barely support him. But he ignored the doctor’s orders, and flew to the hospital to comfort me. His weak body leaned over my chest, his thin arms hugging me tightly, saying how much he wished he could take my place.
As the nurses prepared me for surgery, I saw Dad’s face cloud over with worry. They wheeled me out of the room and into the operating room. When I woke up, I was back in my hospital room, lying in bed alone. There was nobody around. As I reached for the telephone to call Dad, I saw a paper plate on the bedside table, holding a chocolate-covered donut.
注意:
1. 续写词数应在150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The cancer took Dad away just a few days after he left my bedside.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Years later, every time I pass by a donut shop, I always stop to buy a chocolate-covered donut.

From the hallway, Monika Heidi Duque’s first-grade class could be mistaken for chaos. Children shifted seats, compared drafts, and traded thoughts and opinions that flooded out faster than they could be written down. Duque called it “the best kind of mess”, and there is a method for it.
“It’s a place where my students are able to wonder, to be curious, to take risks, and to make things with their hands and minds,” said Duque, who was a finalist for the 2026 California Teachers of the Year.
This honor recognizes her unique ability to transform a first-grade classroom into a “free-flowing” space where 6-year-olds tackle complex subjects like urban planning and design. To get these topics across to children, she translates them into familiar, everyday things: Where do people walk? What belongs in a park? How do we share space fairly? Students learn to explain choices and treat design as problem-solving.
Duque often finds inspiration in the local news. For instance, after reading a report about a city park’s struggle to redesign an old area, Duque asked her students to design a new public space so that they could involve themselves in events and decisions affecting their well-being. Students drew their visions for forests and rivers on paper. This project eventually evolved into 3-D models made from recycled materials. Such activities greatly inspired students to see their role in shaping their community’s future as Duque had expected.
“I just keep my eyes open to what’s in our city, look for what’s relevant to kids, and get ideas from there,” she said. “This is how I approach teaching.” Her principal, Linda Crowder, praised her as a “lifelong learner” who always finds creative ways to keep her students curious.
4. What does “the best kind of mess” imply about Duque’s classroom?
A. It is unplanned yet idea-rich. B. It is interactive and purposeful.
C. It has extremely poor discipline. D. It features teacher-led explorations.
5. How does Duque make complex subjects accessible to a first-grader?
A. By turning lessons into games. B. By providing a free-flowing space.
C. By connecting them to daily life. D. By simplifying classroom language.
6. What was the park redesign task intended to help students gain?
A. Environmental awareness. B. Insight into well-being.
C. Knowledge of urban design. D. Community involvement.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Lifelong Learning, Lasting Doing B. Personal Stories, Classroom Tasks
C. Beyond Walls: The City as a Textbook D. First-graders: Future Urban Planners
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C

A new robot inspired by desert tumbleweeds (风滚草) could mark the start of new exploration. The device, called HERMES, uses passing winds to roll across the ground, which is much like the dry plant balls that wander across deserts. The creator Sanjay Manoharan first had the idea while watching people enjoy the power of the wind on a stormy winter day. These dry plant coverings may look random, but they travel long distances and spread seeds effectively. Curious about their motion, Sanjay Manoharan and his team combined computer models with wind-tunnel tests to see how such a light, open structure can move in a clear direction.
“Nature had already perfected this art long before us,” Manoharan explained. “In the upright position, the upper half, being more open, allowed airflow to pass through freely. In contrast, the lower half was more packed and thus offered greater resistance. This asymmetry changes how the air flows around the plant and creates pushing forces. As a result, when the wind blows, the ball begins to roll forward.”
Using printing equipment, engineers created a lightweight shell with more holes on one side than the other. The end result is a robot built on one of nature’s most elegant designs. In field tests, HERMES rolled in a gentle wind, climbed slopes (斜坡) and sent back position data. It not only required far less power to cross the same course than a robot requiring constant control, but finished the task faster than its counterpart.
However, wind is not always available. To keep the robot useful on still days, the team placed a tiny flying device inside the shell. It can give HERMES a short push, turn it in a new direction or let it lift briefly into the air. Most of the time, HERMES stays passive, spending no energy while the wind moves it. When motion stops, it uses only a short burst of power, and similar designs could one day explore disaster zones, minefields or even the windy surface of Mars.
8. Why was Sanjay Manoharan curious about tumbleweeds?
A. They are similar to some robots. B. They can take advantage of wind.
C. They are good at spreading seeds. D. They can make directional movement.
9. What does the underlined word “asymmetry” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Heavy core. B. Uneven structure. C. Natural growth. D. Irregular movement.
10. What was HERMES’s main advantage?
A. Its superior energy efficiency. B. Its strong climbing ability.
C. Its great positioning function. D. Its new lightweight material.
11. What can be inferred about HERMES from the last paragraph?
A. It prioritizes speed in the rescue. B. It relies on a small device to operate.
C. It can change its path without wind. D. It will consume power in most cases.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C

In a world where digital devices are everywhere, many teachers see: handwriting supports thinking and literacy (读写能力), especially from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade.
It is believed that forming letters by hand strengthens memory. This makes sense because handwriting activates various areas of the brain by combining sight, sound, and physical movement. When children form a letter, they are involved in a dynamic process that solidifies its identity in their minds. This integration of the hand and eye is key to remembering letters.
When letter formation becomes automatic, a child’s brain is freed for higher-level work. Instead of struggling with strokes (笔画), children can focus on sentences, ideas, and organization, which is where fluent writing begins. The advantage can extend well beyond childhood. Research on college students suggests that handwritten notes are better remembered than typed ones, likely because handwriting forces the brain to process and summarize information rather than just copying it word for word.
Effective instruction should be clear and structured: straightforward modeling, guided practice, and immediate feedback. Handwriting also works best when it is part of everyday learning. Students can write numbers in math and record vocabulary in social studies. One common problem is pushing students into writing before they’re in the developmental stage. For younger learners, a proper approach means starting with motor activities that strengthen the shoulder and core, followed by fine motor practice using tools like clay, sand or chalk. These activities prepare the hand and brain for writing long before a pencil ever touches paper.
For students with learning difficulties, handwriting can be particularly helpful. Cursive (连笔), with its connected strokes, provides a pattern that helps children struggling with reading to process words as whole units rather than a series of disconnected letters, which are harder to remember. For those with writing difficulties, the continuous motion of cursive can ease the demands of repeatedly lifting and placing the pencil, making writing feel less separated. The sense of achievement gained from mastering this skill can be transformative.
12. Which aspect of handwriting helps strengthen children’s memory for letters?
A. The slow mental process. B. Multi-sensory engagement.
C. The focus on letter identity. D. Regular practice of writing.
13. Why is research on college students mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To compare their habits with children’s. B. To advocate handwritten notes in college.
C. To highlight their academic performance. D. To show universal benefits of handwriting.
14. What is suggested about handwriting instruction?
A. It should be developmentally appropriate. B. It should support self-paced writing.
C. It should start with paper-and-pencil tasks. D. It should be put first in core subjects.
15. How does cursive benefit students with reading difficulties?
A. By creating a steady pattern. B. By connecting different units.
C. By reducing the writing stress. D. By promoting overall recognition.

【解析】
【导语】主要介绍了中式点心的传统和文化内涵,以及点心的发展。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它与一种中国传统紧密相关——喝茶并一起享用美味的点心。空格处修饰名词snacks,作定语,taste的形容词形式为tasty,意为“美味的,可口的”。故填tasty。
【37题详解】
考查被动语态与时态。句意:在中文里,“dim sum”翻译为“点心”,反映了这样一种理念:这种精致的小菜肴旨在让食客愉悦,不是作为一顿正餐,而是为了带来片刻的愉悦。be meant to do意为“旨在做……”,为固定用法。这里表示客观事实,故使用一般现在时。主语为单数名词dish,be动词应用is。故填is meant。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。空格前为介词of,后接名词作宾语。please的名词形式为pleasure,意为“愉悦,快乐”,为不可数名词,a moment of pleasure意为“片刻的愉悦”。故填pleasure。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这一传统被认为起源于中国南方的茶馆,旅客来此喝一杯茶,尤其是在广东省。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词teahouses,表示地点,从句中缺地点状语,因此应用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:点心以小份的形式端上桌,最初只是简单的茶点,后来逐渐发展成一种更有组织的餐饮风格。本句谓语动词为started和developed,空格处为非谓语动词作状语。逻辑主语dim sum与动词serve之间为被动关系,应用过去分词形式表示被动。因位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Served。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:一些菜肴保持简单舒心,而另一些则变得日益精致。空格处修饰形容词delicate,作状语,需用副词形式。increasing的副词形式为increasingly,意为“日益,越来越多地”。故填increasingly。
【42题详解】
考查主谓一致与时态。句意:传统与创新之间的这种创造性张力允许点心在不失去其本质特征的情况下适应不同的时代和地区。文章描述客观事实,应用一般现在时。本句主语为This creative tension,谓语动词allow应用单数形式。故填allows。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:同上。空格后为动名词短语losing its essential character,空格处应填介词。结合句意,点心在适应不同时代和地区的同时“没有”失去本质特征,表示“在没有……的情况下”,应用介词without。故填without。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当地厨师经常调整食谱以适应当地口味,从而产生了融合点心,将经典形式与国际食材相结合。本句谓语动词为adjust,空格处为非谓语动词作状语。厨师根据当地口味调整食谱使得点心融合,表示顺承的自然结果,应用现在分词形式giving作结果状语。故填giving。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:例如,松露烧麦为喜欢冒险的食客提供了一种奢华的选择,同时也尊重传统的点心菜肴。空格前后连接两个部分:offers a luxurious option...和still respecting...。结合句意,此处表示“在……的同时”,应用连词while连接,while引导时间状语从句,从句中省略了主语 Truffle siu mai。故填while。

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。
My father became my only guardian after my mother passed away. Chatting with others helped ease his deep sadness. Every morning, he would go to his beloved local donut (甜甜圈) shop, where he always started warm conversations with the people there. When we left, along with the bear claw pastry in a small box, there was always a chocolate-covered donut prepared just for me. On the ride in Dad’s truck, my little task was to hold Dad’s coffee between my knees, to stop it from spilling on the way.
As time went by and I grew up, that donut shop became a special place for us to celebrate all kinds of my achievements. Even if I didn’t win or get a ranking, Dad would still take me there. Finally, I grew into an adult and moved out of Dad’s house. On my wedding day, Dad handed me a small gift box. Inside it was a tiny chocolate-covered donut. My heart was deeply moved, melting faster than the chocolate frosting would in a hot oven.
In October 1989, Dad was told he had incurable cancer. We lived an ocean apart, so our visits were very rare. A year later, I was hurt in an attack, and had to receive three back surgeries in hospital. Dad’s cancer had developed so badly that his body could barely support him. But he ignored the doctor’s orders, and flew to the hospital to comfort me. His weak body leaned over my chest, his thin arms hugging me tightly, saying how much he wished he could take my place.
As the nurses prepared me for surgery, I saw Dad’s face cloud over with worry. They wheeled me out of the room and into the operating room. When I woke up, I was back in my hospital room, lying in bed alone. There was nobody around. As I reached for the telephone to call Dad, I saw a paper plate on the bedside table, holding a chocolate-covered donut.
注意:
1. 续写词数应在150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The cancer took Dad away just a few days after he left my bedside.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Years later, every time I pass by a donut shop, I always stop to buy a chocolate-covered donut.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The cancer took Dad away just a few days after he left my bedside. I later learned from the nurses that, despite his unbearable cancer pain and extreme physical weakness, he had wandered the cold, unfamiliar streets around the hospital for hours that day, just to find a shop selling the familiar chocolate-covered donut. He never breathed a word of his worsening condition to me, hiding all his agony and fear behind that sweet treat. That donut became his final silent confession of love, locking all our warmest shared memories into every crumb of the soft pastry and glossy chocolate frosting.
Years later, every time I pass by a donut shop, I always stop to buy a chocolate-covered donut. The moment the sweet chocolate melts on my tongue, I’m instantly transported back to those sunny mornings in Dad’s old truck, the warm coffee steady between my knees, and his soft smile as he handed me the specially prepared donut. It’s never just a snack to me; it’s a timeless hug from Dad, a quiet reminder that his unwavering love has never left my side. It gives me endless courage to get through every hard day, just like he did when he flew to my hospital bed against all odds.
