Passage 1
(2026·重庆·二模)Our solar system is named after the Latin word for sun, “Sol”. The thing about our solar system is that while there are lots of other suns and planets out there, 1
Most other systems feature planets orbiting closer to their parent sun than Mercury (水星) does, the closest planet to Sol. Other systems also have “super Earths”. 2 And these systems usually have “hot Jupiters (木星)”, which are gas giants orbiting very close to their sun.
3 Other systems have planets with highly non-circular orbits, similar to those of comets (彗星). In our solar system, the planetary orbits are nearly circular and the planets are widely spaced. Other systems have planets grouped closely together, like peas in a pod.
Astronomers, and scientists in general don’t like “special” things. They like things that are “usual” or “typical” because that allows explanation. Yet, when faced with something unusual, they seek to understand it as well. 4 One theory states that at an early stage, Jupiter may have migrated through our solar system clearing out an initial group of large planets orbiting closer to Sol, before it settled in its current orbit. Another, more interesting, approach is to ask whether our solar system seems different simply because we have evolved to notice its uniqueness. 5 Or there are yet other possibilities.
A.our system is just a bit different.
B.there are more of them to be found.
C.The orbits of planets in our solar system are different too.
D.The act of observation may have changed what is observed.
E.So, of course, there are theories on why our solar system is different.
F.They are rocky planets larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune (海王星).
G.In fact, some planetary systems have orbits just as circular as those in ours.
【答案】1.A 2.F 3.C 4.E 5.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文对比太阳系与其他行星系统,从行星轨道、星体类型等方面说明太阳系的独特之处,并列举不同理论,解释太阳系与众不同的原因。
1.根据上文“Our solar system is named after the Latin word for sun, “Sol”. The thing about our solar system is that while there are lots of other suns and planets out there(我们的太阳系是以拉丁语中“太阳”的词“Sol”来命名的。而我们太阳系的特点在于,尽管宇宙中存在着众多其他的恒星和行星,但我们的太阳系本身却是独一无二的)”可知,前文:宇宙有很多恒星与行星;后文介绍其他星系和太阳系的诸多差异。A项“我们的星系只是稍有不同”承上启下,引出下文对比。故选A。
2.根据上文“Most other systems feature planets orbiting closer to their parent sun than Mercury (水星) does, the closest planet to Sol. Other systems also have “super Earths”.(大多数其他星系中的行星都比水星(距离太阳最近的行星)更靠近其母星运行。此外,这些星系中还存在“超级地球”)”可知,前文提及“超级地球”的话题,推测本句是对超级地球进行定义解释,故F项“它们是比地球大但比海王星小的岩石行星”衔接紧密。故选F。
3.根据后文“Other systems have planets with highly non-circular orbits, similar to those of comets (彗星). In our solar system, the planetary orbits are nearly circular and the planets are widely spaced. Other systems have planets grouped closely together, like peas in a pod.(其他星系中的行星有着极为不规则的轨道,类似于彗星的轨道。而在我们的太阳系中,行星的轨道近乎圆形,且行星之间的距离较为广阔。而在其他星系中,行星则紧密地聚集在一起,就像一串串的豌豆)”可知,后文围绕行星轨道形状、间距展开对比;C项“我们太阳系中行星的轨道与其他行星系统也不相同”总起本段内容。故选C。
4.根据上文“Astronomers, and scientists in general don’t like “special” things. They like things that are “usual” or “typical” because that allows explanation. Yet, when faced with something unusual, they seek to understand it as well.(天文学家以及所有科学家都不喜欢“特殊”的事物。他们更喜欢“常见”或“典型”的事物,因为这样才便于解释。然而,当面对一些不寻常的事物时,他们也会努力去理解它)”可知,前文说太阳系很特殊、不合常规,本句引出下文提到的两种理论。故E项“所以,毫无疑问,关于为何我们的太阳系与众不同,存在着各种理论”符合语境。故选E。
5.根据上文“Another, more interesting, approach is to ask whether our solar system seems different simply because we have evolved to notice its uniqueness.(另一种更具探究性的方法是思考:我们的太阳系之所以显得与众不同,是否仅仅是因为我们人类已经进化出了能够察觉其独特性的能力)” 可知,前一句提出猜想“人类演化导致我们留意到它的独特”,本句承接上文的观点,说明这一行为的结果,故D项“观察行为本身可能会改变所观察到的事物”承接该观点,贴合文意。故选D。
Passage 2
(2026·重庆·二模)Dealing With Family Stress
When families face stressful issues, the ways they respond often depend on their dealing and stress-management resources. In times of hardship, it might be hard to imagine how to decrease stress within the family system. 1
First, consider carrying out a practice of having a family meeting where members can explore how the current stressors are impacting them. 2 For example, can you each agree not to talk over each other or to take a break if one of you starts to raise your voice. This can help ensure each member feels safe and heard.
3 Each family member can then get some alone time. During this time, that family member is supported in relaxing and joining in an activity they find comforting without interruptions from others. Doing so can allow greater space for rest and relaxation and support the development of internal resources.
To support mental wellness, a calm corner could be helpful. A calm corner is a part of the house that is set aside for quiet reflection. When things are feeling stressful, it is a place to go to take deep breaths and regulate nervous system. 4
Please be gentle with yourself during this process as it can be challenging to shift deeply fixed patterns, perspectives, and resources. It takes time to build and develop different skills and responses to stress. 5 Grant yourself patience and grace and take things one day and one moment at a time.
A.Change takes consistent effort over time.
B.It’s necessary to seek shared family activities.
C.It may also be helpful to create a family schedule.
D.Such a place can be friendly for kids and adults alike.
E.Before digging into dialogue, set some shared agreements.
F.However, even small actions can lead to different outcomes.
G.Focus on your emotions before considering the family’s needs.
【答案】1.F 2.E 3.C 4.D 5.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍当家庭面临压力时,家庭成员可以采取的缓解家庭压力的方法,如召开家庭会议、安排独处时间、设置冷静角等。
1.根据上文“In times of hardship, it might be hard to imagine how to decrease stress within the family system.(在困难时期,人们可能很难想象如何减少家庭内部的压力。)”可知,家庭减压看似困难,结合下文给出的具体减压方法,此处需表转折,引出可行的办法。F选项(然而,即使是微小的行动也能带来不同的结果。)承接上文且与下文形成转折关系。故选F项。
2.根据上文“First, consider carrying out a practice of having a family meeting where members can explore how the current stressors are impacting them.(首先,考虑召开家庭会议,让成员们探讨当前压力源对他们的影响。)”以及下文“For example, can you each agree not to talk over each other or to take a break if one of you starts to raise your voice.(例如,你们能否约定不互相打断,或者如果有人开始提高嗓门就暂停一下。)”可知,此处需提出召开会议前的准备,即约定规则。E选项(在深入交流之前,制定一些共同的约定。)承接上文会议话题,且下文为该选项的具体举例。故选E项。
3.根据下文“Each family member can then get some alone time.(然后每个家庭成员都可以有一些独处时间。)”可知,此段介绍安排个人专属时间的方法。C选项(制定家庭日程表或许也有帮助。)引出下文独处时间的安排。故选C项。
4.根据上文“To support mental wellness, a calm corner could be helpful. A calm corner is a part of the house that is set aside for quiet reflection. When things are feeling stressful, it is a place to go to take deep breaths and regulate nervous system.(为了支持心理健康,一个安静的角落可能会有所帮助。安静的角落是房子里留出来用于安静反思的一部分。当感到有压力时,这是一个可以深呼吸和调节神经系统的地方。)”可知,此段主要讲设置冷静角对心理健康有帮助,此处应进一步说明冷静角对小孩和大人都有好处。D选项(这样的地方对小孩和大人都很友好。)符合语境,其中“Such a place”指代上文“A calm corner”。故选D项。
5.根据上文“It takes time to build and develop different skills and responses to stress.(培养和发展应对压力的不同技能和反应需要时间。)”可知,此段强调改变需要时间与坚持。A选项(改变需要长期持续的努力。)承接上文,与后文“Grant yourself patience and grace and take things one day and one moment at a time.(给予自己耐心和宽容,一天一天、一刻一刻地处理事情。)”相呼应。故选A项。
Passage 3
(2026·重庆渝中·二模)I used to love my nonstick pans, marveling at the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic lining may release toxins (毒素) when heated. Thus began my campaign to rid my life of plastics. 1 But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy.
To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and cheaper. 2 Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I couldn’t turn on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic.
3 Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. The results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated with a potential risk of adverse health effects.
I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the kitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point Woodruff made stuck in my head. 4
So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for so many hours. 5 What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects around them seem bound to hurt them. Throwing the pans out seemed, for now, like the least I could do. And the most I could do, too.
A.I threw out obvious offenders.
B.We depend heavily on plastics.
C.I wanted to make life safer for my children.
D.I replaced my sons’ with natural alternatives.
E.Children are among those most at risk from plastics.
F.One day, I decided to see how long I could go without using plastic.
G.Plastic is not just everywhere in our homes, but everywhere, period.

Passage 4
(2026·重庆·二模)My volunteer journey began during a summer break when I joined a local organization supporting underprivileged (贫苦的) children. Initially, I viewed it as a way to spend my free time contributing to a good cause. 1
At first, I was shocked by the challenges these children faced — poverty, lack of education, and emotional pain. 2 However, as I spent more time with them, I started to understand their resilience (适应力) and strength, which inspired me to give my best effort. That marked the beginning of a deep and lasting connection.
3 One such instance occurred when I was helping a young girl, Maria, with her challenging subject math. After weeks of working together, I saw a breakthrough as I taught a difficult concept. The joy in her eyes was indescribable. It was then that I realized the power of patience and support. 4 I was responsible for coordinating (协调) a group of volunteers, which taught me leadership and teamwork skills. Those moments shaped my approach to volunteering and motivated me to seek more opportunities to serve.
The volunteer experience did more than provide valuable skills — it shifted my priorities and life goals. Before that, I had been focused on academic success and individual achievements. 5 I developed a passion for social work and community service, and I now try to integrate these into my future career.
A.In spite of my intentions, I felt unprepared to help truly.
B.Facing unexpected challenges helped me become more appreciative.
C.Another memorable moment was during a community event we organized.
D.Several critical moments made my volunteer experience truly life-changing.
E.However, the experience taught me there is more to life than those things.
F.Little did I know the experience would greatly transform my outlook on life.
G.The stories demonstrated the influence volunteering can have on individual growth.

Passage 5
(2026·重庆九龙坡·一模)Understanding Risk Awareness
Risk awareness is an interesting aspect of human mind, influencing decisions from daily activities to major life choices. Individuals often judge wrongly risks, either overstating or understating them. 1 For instance, flying is in terms of statistics safer than driving, yet many are more worried about flying. This difference is largely due to what experts in mind study refer to as the availability mental trick, a type of mental shortcut in which events easy to remember, such as incidents involving planes, control our thoughts.
2 Some societies accept risk-taking by valuing adventure and new ideas, while others put safety first and act with caution. These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal rules. 3 In countries with high economic unfairness, people may take more risks because they have fewer resources, fewer opportunities, and feel they have little to lose. In contrast, rich societies might avoid risks to maintain their present situation and protect property.
Moreover, media coverage greatly alters risks as they are seen. 4 Shocking stories about rare but very destructive events create a twisted image of reality. Public campaigns and education fight against this by providing balanced information, helping individuals make wise decisions. 5 Understanding the mind behind risk awareness allows people making policies to design better plans for public safety and health.
A.Economic conditions also play a part in shaping risk attitudes.
B.In fact, we make judgments about various risks every single day.
C.This is why it's important to get information from reliable sources.
D.People in different societies have completely opposite views on risk.
E.Cultural backgrounds deeply influence how people view and react to risks.
F.Media tends to focus on dramatic events, ignoring ordinary but safe situations.
G.Such misjudgments often come from mental habits we use to simplify thinking.
【答案】1.G 2.E 3.A 4.F 5.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文阐释风险认知这一心理现象,分析其受心理习惯、文化经济背景、媒体报道的影响,及理解它的公共与政策层面意义。
1.由上文“Individuals often judge wrongly risks, either overstating or understating them.(人们常常错误地判断风险,要么夸大要么低估。)”和下文“For instance, flying is in terms of statistics safer than driving, yet many are more worried about flying. This difference is largely due to what experts in mind study refer to as the availability mental trick, a type of mental shortcut in which events easy to remember, such as incidents involving planes, control our thoughts.(例如,从数据来看,坐飞机比开车更安全,可很多人却对坐飞机感到更多担忧。这种差异很大程度上源于思维研究领域的专家所称的可得性心理误区—— 这是一种心理捷径,那些容易被记起的事件(比如飞机相关事故)会借此主导我们的想法。)”可知,空格处需点明风险误判的原因,衔接前文的误判现象与后文的原因举例。G项“Such misjudgments often come from mental habits we use to simplify thinking.(这种误判往往源于我们用来简化思考的心理习惯。)”符合语境,“Such misjudgments”指代前文的“judge wrongly risks”,且与下文的“availability mental trick”相呼应,逻辑连贯。故选G项。
2.由下文“Some societies accept risk-taking by valuing adventure and new ideas, while others put safety first and act with caution. These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal rules.(一些社会推崇冒险和新想法,接受冒险行为,而另一些社会则将安全放在首位,行事谨慎。这些态度由历史经历、经济稳定性和社会规则塑造。)”可知,空格处需作为主题句,点明社会文化背景对人们风险观的影响。E项“Cultural backgrounds deeply influence how people view and react to risks.(文化背景深刻影响着人们看待和应对风险的方式。)”符合语境,该句总领本段,“Cultural backgrounds”对应下文的“societies”和“historical experiences, societal rules”,精准概括本段主旨,逻辑清晰。故选E项。
3.由上文“These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal rules.(这些态度由历史经历、经济稳定性和社会规则塑造。)”和下文 “In countries with high economic unfairness, people may take more risks because they have fewer resources, fewer opportunities, and feel they have little to lose. In contrast, rich societies might avoid risks to maintain their present situation and protect property.(在经济不公现象突出的国家,人们可能会更愿意冒险,因为他们拥有的资源和机会本就寥寥,也觉得自己没什么可失去的。与之相反,富裕社会的人们则可能会规避风险,以维持现有生活状况、保护自身财产。)”可知,空格处需承上启下,点明经济因素对风险态度的作用。A项“Economic conditions also play a part in shaping risk attitudes.(经济状况也在塑造风险态度方面发挥着作用。)”符合语境,“also”承接前文的历史、社会等影响因素,“Economic conditions” 对应下文的经济不平等、富裕社会等内容,逻辑连贯。故选A项。
4.由上文“Moreover, media coverage greatly alters risks as they are seen.(此外,媒体报道极大地改变了人们对风险的认知。)”和下文“Shocking stories about rare but very destructive events create a twisted image of reality.(关于罕见但极具破坏性事件的骇人报道,营造出扭曲的现实印象。)”可知,空格处需说明媒体报道的特点,解释其为何会扭曲风险认知。F项“Media tends to focus on dramatic events, ignoring ordinary but safe situations.(媒体往往关注戏剧性事件,忽视普通但安全的情况。)”符合语境,该句承接前文的媒体影响,“focus on dramatic events”对应下文的“Shocking stories about rare but very destructive events”,解释了媒体扭曲风险认知的原因,逻辑清晰。故选F项。
5.由上文“Public campaigns and education fight against this by providing balanced information, helping individuals make wise decisions.(公共宣传和教育通过提供平衡的信息来对抗这种现象,帮助人们做出明智的决定。)”和下文“Understanding the mind behind risk awareness allows people making policies to design better plans for public safety and health.(理解风险意识背后的心理机制,能让政策制定者为公共安全和健康制定更好的计划。)”可知,空格处需承接前文的“获取平衡信息”,点明其重要性,同时衔接后文的现实意义。C项“This is why it's important to get information from reliable sources.(这就是为什么从可靠来源获取信息至关重要。)”符合语境,“This”指代前文媒体扭曲风险认知、需通过平衡信息纠正的情况,“get information from reliable sources”呼应前文的“providing balanced information”,同时为后文的现实应用做铺垫,逻辑连贯。故选C项。
Passage 6
(2026·重庆·一模) Move House Without the Waste
If you’ve got a house move coming up, then you’ll know that it can be a stressful experience. With everything going on, reducing the environmental impact of moving may not be high on your list of priorities. 1 . Thankfully, there are a few clever ways to green your move and save some money.
Firstly, it’s always best to declutter (清理) before you even start thinking about packing. Getting rid of stuff you don’t need means you need fewer boxes and fewer packaging materials. 2 , saving money and reducing pollution.
Once you’ve decluttered, you can move on to the packing stage. Many removal companies supply their own brand-new boxes at an additional cost. To save resources (and a bit of cash), it’s best to foster (培养) a good relationship with local shops. 3 . However, you can ask the staff when the delivery day is and then pop in that day to collect some cardboard boxes before they are sent to recycling.
4 — using suitcases instead of boxes. Ask your friends and family if you can borrow some. Laundry bags are also an excellent option. You can generally fit a lot in them and they are much easier to carry than boxes.
And finally, you can’t move your goods with cardboard boxes alone. Delicate items need some form of protection during the move. 5 . If you find yourself short on recycled materials, you can also use clean towels and clothes to wrap breakables in. This is also a clever space-saving technique!
A.They have a good supply of boxes
B.Yet moving can be quite a wasteful process
C.It may also mean you need a smaller removal truck
D.Moreover, get creative with items you are clearing out
E.Most of them won’t store cardboard boxes as it’s a fire risk
F.You can keep old newspapers or air-filled packaging beforehand
G.Alternatively, you can get crafty with the items you have around you
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.E 4.G 5.F
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍搬家虽压力大且易产生浪费,但可通过清理物品、巧用包装等方式实现绿色搬家,给出具体实用建议。
1.根据上文“If you’ve got a house move coming up, then you’ll know that it can be a stressful experience. With everything going on, reducing the environmental impact of moving may not be high on your list of priorities.(如果你即将搬家,你就会知道这可能是一段充满压力的经历。事情千头万绪,减少搬家对环境的影响可能并不是你优先考虑的事情。”以及下文“Thankfully, there are a few clever ways to green your move and save some money.(值得庆幸的是,有一些巧妙的方法可以让你的搬家更环保,还能省钱)”可知,此处需转折引出搬家的浪费问题,从而衔接下文的绿色搬家建议,B选项“Yet moving can be quite a wasteful process(然而搬家可能是一个相当浪费的过程)”以转折关系承接上文“未重视环保”,自然引出下文解决方案,符合语境。故选B项。
2.根据上文“Firstly, it’s always best to declutter (清理) before you even start thinking about packing. Getting rid of stuff you don’t need means you need fewer boxes and fewer packaging materials.(首先,最好在开始考虑打包之前就进行清理。扔掉不需要的东西意味着你需要更少的箱子和包装材料)”以及下文“saving money and reducing pollution.(省钱并减少污染)”可知,此处应延续“清理物品”的好处,进一步说明减少物品带来的积极影响,C选项“It may also mean you need a smaller removal truck(这也可能意味着你需要一辆更小的搬家卡车)”中also承接上文好处,“更小的卡车”也能实现下文的“省钱减污”,符合语境。故选C项。
3.根据上文“Once you’ve decluttered, you can move on to the packing stage. Many removal companies supply their own brand-new boxes at an additional cost. To save resources (and a bit of cash), it’s best to foster (培养) a good relationship with local shops.(清理完之后,你就可以进入打包阶段了。许多搬家公司会额外收费提供他们自己的全新箱子。为了节省资源(和一点钱),最好与当地商店建立良好的关系)”以及下文“However, you can ask the staff when the delivery day is and then pop in that day to collect some cardboard boxes before they are sent to recycling.(不过,你可以问工作人员送货日是什么时候,然后在那天箱子被送去回收之前顺便去取一些纸箱)”可知,此处需先说明当地商店与纸箱的关联,再用however转折引出获取纸箱的具体方式,E选项“Most of them won’t store cardboard boxes as it’s a fire risk(大多数商店不会存放纸箱,因为有火灾风险)”既呼应上文“联系商店”,又能与下文“询问送货日取箱”形成转折逻辑,符合语境。故选E项。
4.根据下文“— using suitcases instead of boxes. Ask your friends and family if you can borrow some. Laundry bags are also an excellent option. You can generally fit a lot in them and they are much easier to carry than boxes.(——用行李箱代替箱子。问问你的朋友和家人是否可以借一些。洗衣袋也是一个很好的选择。通常你可以在里面装很多东西,而且比箱子更容易携带)”可知,此处应总领下文“巧用身边现有物品替代箱子”的做法,G选项“Alternatively, you can get crafty with the items you have around you(或者,你可以巧妙利用身边已有的物品)”中的get crafty with the items around you恰好概括下文巧用行李箱、洗衣袋的做法,符合语境。故选G项。
5.根据上文“And finally, you can’t move your goods with cardboard boxes alone. Delicate items need some form of protection during the move.(最后,仅用纸箱是无法搬运物品的。易碎物品在搬运过程中需要某种形式的保护)”以及下文“If you find yourself short on recycled materials, you can also use clean towels and clothes to wrap breakables in.(如果你发现回收材料不够,你也可以用干净的毛巾和衣服来包裹易碎品)”可知,此处应先介绍一种保护易碎品的回收材料,再用also引出另一种替代方式,F选项“You can keep old newspapers or air-filled packaging beforehand(你可以提前留存旧报纸或充气包装)”中的old newspapers or air-filled packaging属于可回收保护材料,与下文recycled materials呼应,符合语境。故选F项。

Passage 8
(2026·重庆九龙坡·一模)How to Raise Kids Who Value Wealth and Giving
“What do you want your children to know about money?” It’s a simple question — but the answer has the power to shape your family’s legacy for generations. 1 It’s a mirror of our values, a tool for impact, and a teacher of life lessons. If we want to raise economically responsible and purpose-filled kids, we need to be intentional.
Start early.
2 Even preschoolers can grasp the idea of money being earned, saved, and used with intention. As kids earn a little pocket money or small rewards, they learn to divide their money into meaningful categories. Over time, this builds muscle memory around choices, delayed satisfaction, and generosity.
Connect money to values.
As children grow, so should the depth of your money conversations and try to involve them in real-life decisions. For example, give them a back-to-school shopping amount and let them manage priorities. Most importantly, show them how money reflects values. 3 Teens can spot inconsistency a mile away.
4
You don’t need to be a financial expert to raise financially wise children. You just need to be open. Share your financial mistakes while keep transparent about budgeting and trade-offs. Kids learn best not by being told — but by being shown. Let money talks happen naturally around the dinner table, during car rides, or while watching the news.
Introduce the joy of giving.
One of the most powerful gifts you can give your child is the habit of generosity. Invite your kids into the giving process, and let them choose a charity to support with their “Give” jar or volunteer together as a family. It will dawn on them that money is more than what you keep. 5
A.Ground it in action.
B.It’s also about what you share.
C.Make it a lifestyle, not a lecture.
D.Young kids are more capable than we think.
E.Money is never just about dollars and cents.
F.It doesn’t need to be big; it just needs to be real.
G.Are your spending patterns in line with what you say?
【答案】1.E 2.D 3.G 4.C 5.B
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了如何培养孩子正确金钱观与奉献意识。
1.前文“It’s a simple question — but the answer has the power to shape your family’s legacy for generations.(这是一个简单的问题 —— 但答案却有塑造您家族数代传承的力量。)”提到了对于“金钱”问题的答案的重要性,设空句应解释为什么答案如此重要;而后文“It’s a mirror of our values, a tool for impact, and a teacher of life lessons.(它反映了我们的价值观,是产生影响的工具,也是传授人生经验的导师。)”则讲到金钱涉及价值观,由此推知,设空句应是一个过渡句,承上启下,既要解释重要性,也要强调金钱的深层意义。选项E“Money is never just about dollars and cents.(金钱从来不仅仅是美元和美分。)”提出“金钱从来都不只是关于面值的多少”,解释了一个表象重要性,又可衔接后文对金钱深层意义的阐述,符合语境分析。故选E项。
2.本段的小标题是“Start early.(尽早开始。)”,那么设空句作为该段首句,应会首先解释为什么可以“尽早开始”。选项D“Young kids are more capable than we think.(小孩子比我们想象的更有能力。)”正好对应 “尽早开始” 的观点,同时与后文“Even preschoolers can grasp the idea of money being earned, saved, and used with intention.(即使是学龄前儿童也能理解金钱是如何通过劳动获得、如何进行储蓄以及如何有目的地使用的这一概念。)”对低龄儿童金钱认知能力的说明构成进一步解释关系。故选D项。
3.前文“Most importantly, show them how money reflects values.(最为重要的是,要向他们展示金钱是如何体现价值的。)”提出“向孩子展示金钱如何反映价值观”,而设空后内容“Teens can spot inconsistency a mile away.(青少年一眼就能看出事物的不一致之处。)”又讲到“青少年会发现不一致”。结合语境推知,空处需强调言行一致的重要性。选项G“Are your spending patterns in line with what you say?(你的消费模式与你的言论一致吗?)”用问句形式点出“言行一致”的要求,提醒家长要以身作则,符合语境分析。故选G项。
4.设空为小标题,应是该段的核心主旨。根据后文关键内容“You just need to be open. Share your financial mistakes while keep transparent about budgeting and trade-offs. Kids learn best not by being told — but by being shown. Let money talks happen naturally around the dinner table, during car rides, or while watching the news.(你只需要保持坦诚的态度。分享自己的财务失误,同时在预算规划和取舍问题上做到透明化。孩子学习的最佳方式,从来都不是听人说教,而是看别人示范。不妨让关于金钱的话题,自然而然地出现在餐桌旁、汽车里,或是看电视新闻的时刻。)”可知,该段的核心是“在日常中自然渗透金钱观念,而非刻意灌输”。选项C“Make it a lifestyle, not a lecture.(让它成为一种生活方式,而非说教。)”精准概括了该部分的主旨。故选C项。
5.根据该段小标题“Introduce the joy of giving.(介绍给予带来的快乐。)”可知,该段强调“给与”,设空句应该呼应该主旨;同时结合设空前一句“It will dawn on them that money is more than what you keep.(他们终会明白,金钱的意义远不止于你所拥有的数量。)”指出让孩子明白金钱不只是自己拥有的东西,设空句应解释其更深层次的含义,同时呼应主旨“给与”。选项B“It’s also about what you share.(它也关乎你分享的东西。)”在句意上解释了深层含义,且句中“share”呼应主旨,“also”与前文构成递进关系。故选B项。
Passage 9
(2026·重庆·一模)Four Things I Learned About Myself While Volunteering in India
After a satisfying career as communications director for a non-profit international charity, I wanted my retirement to reflect my values and my dreams. A friend suggested I create an equation (等式): values+ dreams=? I boiled values down to “social justice”, and dreams to “foreign travel”.
A community development organization in Nagpur, India, welcomed my volunteer help with programs, translation, and grant writing, and the local college wanted me to teach English for free. 1 But I gained far more than I gave.
I won’t “settle” no matter what my age.
I had settled into a relationship that seemed perfect for a 60+ woman. But he would take an expensive rail journey through India while only writing checks to charity. I chose India over him. 2
3
My flat room had broken plastic floor, a hard bed, and no TV or Wi-Fi. The shower fell at three drops per minute. But soon, that room became my cozy home. I unplugged. I read more, walked more, and visited temples and festivals. Life was simpler, freer.
I can depend on the kindness around me.
4 Dolly refused to take money for my haircut while Vasanti and Vinta took care of me. A stranger at a church rescued me from a crowd and said gently, “I will be your father.” That moment stayed with me more than the writings the others saw.
The difference between me and Indian women is what we wear.
Micro-loans help Indian women start businesses, send children to school, and improve their homes. 5 “While men are making war, we women are cooking soup and raising children,” I said. We were more alike than different.
I spent four winters volunteering there. It wasn’t escape— it was purpose.
A.I saw myself in them.
B.I was expecting to “give back”.
C.I thought we faced similar problems.
D.Getting by with less is not a sacrifice.
E.Living a simple life was not easy at first.
F.My fellow workers showed warmth and generosity.
G.Now, I would not trade my lifestyle for security or convenience.

Passage 10
(2026·重庆沙坪坝·一模)Urban Green Spaces: Cooling Our Cities Naturally
As cities worldwide continue to expand, natural landscapes are rapidly disappearing beneath concrete and steel. 1 . This phenomenon, known as the urban heat island effect, raises city temperatures by several degrees compared to surrounding rural areas, making summers hotter and increasing the need for air conditioning. 2 . These are areas within cities specifically designed to include vegetation and natural elements — parks, rooftop gardens, tree-lined streets, and even small community plots. Beyond their aesthetic value, these green spaces play a key role in fighting the urban heat island effect by absorbing heat, filtering air pollutants, and providing much-needed shade.
The benefits of urban green spaces extend far beyond temperature control. 3 . Research has shown that spending time in natural settings reduces stress hormones in adults and improves mood. For children, regular interaction with greenery enhances attention spans and boosts creative problem-solving skills.
Despite these clear advantages, many cities face a major challenge: limited land for green development. 4 . Community gardens turn abandoned lots into productive green areas, while vertical green walls allow buildings to be covered with plants without taking up extra ground space. These innovative approaches prove that nature can coexist with urbanization.
5 . By integrating nature into our cities, we create healthier, more livable environments for both present and future generations. Investing in urban greening is not a waste of resources but a smart choice that brings long-term benefits to public health, community bonds, and environmental sustainability.
A.Urban planners have come up with creative solutions to this problem.
B.Psychological benefits are especially valuable in fast-paced, high-stress urban life.
C.Mental and physical health benefits are among the most significant ones.
D.This not only makes cities uncomfortably hot but also increases energy consumption.
E.The key is to recognize green spaces as essential urban infrastructure, not luxury extras.
F.Fortunately, a growing trend is bringing nature back to cities through urban green spaces.
G.Keeping urban green spaces in good condition requires large sums of money and constant effort.

Passage 1
(2026·重庆沙坪坝·二模)For many people, Christmas can be a magical day filled with delight and indulgences (放纵). But for those down on their luck or disadvantaged, it can be a time of sorrow and disappointment. That’s why the countries of the British Commonwealth have set aside the day after Christmas as Boxing Day, and its purpose was to bring a bit of magic to those who could use it. 1
Every December 26, going at least as far back as 1833, the United Kingdom and other countries that are part of the British Commonwealth have observed Boxing Day as an opportunity to provide some holiday joy to those who most need it.
2 One is that it refers to the giving of “Christmas boxes,” a term that originated in the 17th century to describe gifts, money and other leftovers from Christmas that landowners would give to their servants and employees for having worked on Christmas Day. Basically, Christmas Boxes were holiday bonuses for the working class.
The other is that it refers to the “alms boxes” that would traditionally appear in churches in the weeks leading up to Christmas. 3 The donations were then distributed to those in need after Christmas Day. The day after Christmas is also the feast of St. Stephen, a martyr (殉教者) known for his acts of charity.
The day is still a national holiday in many parts of the British Commonwealth, and some people still give back to the less fortunate on Boxing Day. 4 It has now become more related to spending up big at a department store.
But must it be this way? Actually, there exists a different path for this day. 5 Just like in classic stories, you might find your heart growing richer, even if your wallet doesn’t.
A.But its original spirit is being forgotten.
B.So what exactly is Boxing Day all about?
C.There are competing stories behind its name.
D.Consider observing your own charitable Boxing Day.
E.Their purpose was to collect money from church-goers.
F.Celebrate the day by enjoying time with your loved ones.
G.However, many argue this isn’t the best way to help the poor.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.E 4.A 5.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍节礼日的设立初衷,两大名称的由来。节日原本意在帮扶弱势群体,如今传统慈善精神渐被消费取代,作者呼吁人们重拾节日慈善本心。
1.根据上文“For many people, Christmas can be a magical day filled with delight and indulgences (放纵). But for those down on their luck or disadvantaged, it can be a time of sorrow and disappointment. That’s why the countries of the British commonwealth have set aside the day after Christmas as Boxing Day, and its purpose was to bring a bit of magic to those who could use it.(对许多人来说,圣诞节是一段充满欢乐与放纵的神奇时光。但对于那些处境艰难或处于不利地位的人们而言,圣诞节却可能是一段充满悲伤与失望的时期。因此,英联邦各国将圣诞节后的这一天定为“节礼日”,其目的是为那些需要帮助的人们带来一丝欢乐)”可知,前文介绍节礼日设立初衷是帮助弱势群体,下文开始具体介绍节礼日。故B选项“那么节礼日究竟是什么呢?”起到承上启下作用。故选B。
2.根据后文“One is that it refers to the giving of “Christmas boxes,” a term that originated in the 17th century to describe gifts, money and other leftovers from Christmas that landowners would give to their servants and employees for having worked on Christmas Day. Basically, Christmas Boxes were holiday bonuses for the working class.(其一,它指的是“圣诞礼盒”的赠送行为。这个术语起源于17世纪,用于描述圣诞节期间人们送出的礼物、金钱以及其他剩余物品,这些物品是地主们为了感谢仆人和员工在圣诞节期间的辛勤工作而给予他们的。简而言之,圣诞礼盒就是为工人阶级准备的节日奖金)”可知,后文并列介绍两种名称起源说法,C选项“它的名字背后有两种不同说法”总领下文,One引出其中一种说法。故选C。
3.根据上文“The other is that it refers to the “alms boxes” that would traditionally appear in churches in the weeks leading up to Christmas.(另一种解释是,它指的是在圣诞节前几周通常会在教堂里出现的“施舍箱”)”以及后文“The donations were then distributed to those in need after Christmas Day. The day after Christmas is also the feast of St. Stephen, a martyr (殉教者) known for his acts of charity.(这些捐赠物资在圣诞节过后被分发给了那些有需要的人。圣诞节后的第二天也是圣斯蒂芬的纪念日,他是一位以乐善好施行为著称的殉道者)”可知,前文提到教堂里的“救济箱”,后文讲述捐款分给穷人。E选项“它们的作用是收集礼拜者的捐款” 承接“施舍箱”的用途。故选E。
4.根据上文“The day is still a national holiday in many parts of the British Commonwealth, and some people still give back to the less fortunate on Boxing Day.(在英联邦的许多地区,这一天仍被视为法定假日,而一些人也会在“节礼日”(即“圣诞补休日”)向那些生活贫困的人们伸出援手)”以及后文“It has now become more related to spending up big at a department store.(如今,它更多地与在百货商店进行大规模消费联系在了一起)”可知,前文:如今仍是假日、还有人行善;后文:变成商场大肆消费。A选项“但它最初的精神正在被遗忘”衔接转折关系。故选A。
5.根据上文“But must it be this way?

(2026·重庆九龙坡·二模)First Aid for Emotional Outbursts: How to Hit the Brakes
Emotional outbursts can happen suddenly — that flash of anger, overwhelming anxiety or sadness. These feelings come without warning. 1 Your emotions take control; your mind shuts down, and you feel consumed by tunnel vision. Here’s a four-step plan to manage these intense feelings and regain control.
Realize your emotions have taken over.
Once your brain’s emotional center fires up, your rational (理智的) mind goes offline. Your brain drifts into past experiences fueling your mood, making it stronger. 2 They circle back, strengthening your feelings and making escape harder. The first step is recognizing this cycle: your rational mind is offline, and racing thoughts worsen the situation.
3
As soon as you notice this emotional cycle, take action to stop it. Simply name your feelings and pattern: I’m upset; my emotional brain has taken over; I’m stuck in that negative circle. This small act creates a gap between you and your emotions.
Calm yourself.
Have pre-planned calming skills ready: deep breathing, mindful cooking, or distraction like watching a favorite show. 4 They work by grounding you in the present, pulling you from negative memories and worst cases. Experts advise listing these methods visibly for easy access.
Once calm, circle back.
Reflect: What triggered (触发) me? A partner’s critical tone, sudden work change, or small disappointment? 5 Or is it an ongoing emotional pattern? Finally, take targeted action to solve it.
The key to handling emotional outbursts is balancing regulation and problem-solving. Master these steps, and you’ll hit the brakes on intense emotions before they take over.
A.Stop feeling bad.
B.Label what’s going on.
C.Reflect why it has influenced your mood.
D.Next, judge if it’s a real solvable problem.
E.They hit fast, intense feelings hard to process.
F.Memories turn into negative thoughts quickly.
G.These techniques need no special skills and are easy to use.
【答案】1.E 2.F 3.B 4.G 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍应对情绪突然爆发的四个步骤,帮助人们及时控制强烈情绪、恢复理性。
1.上文“Emotional outbursts can happen suddenly — that flash of anger, overwhelming anxiety or sadness. These feelings come without warning.(情绪爆发可能会突然发生——愤怒的闪现、压倒性的焦虑或悲伤。这些感觉毫无预兆地出现。)”描述了情绪爆发的突然性和强烈性,E项“它们来势汹汹,强烈的情绪难以处理。”承接上文,进一步说明了这些情绪的强烈和难以处理,符合语境。故选E项。
2.上文“Your brain drifts into past experiences fueling your mood, making it stronger.(你的大脑会陷入过去的经历中,从而加剧你的情绪,使其更加强烈。)”说明大脑会陷入过去的经历,F项“记忆很快会变成消极的想法。”承接上文,说明记忆会很快变成消极的想法,与后文“They circle back, strengthening your feelings and making escape harder.(它们会循环回来,增强你的感觉,让你更难逃脱。)”呼应,且后文中的“They”指代F项中“negative thoughts”,说明消极的想法会循环回来,增强你的感觉,符合语境。故选F项。
3.根据后文“As soon as you notice this emotional cycle, take action to stop it. Simply name your feelings and pattern: I’m upset; my emotional brain has taken over; I’m stuck in that negative circle. This small act creates a gap between you and your emotions.(一旦你注意到这个情绪循环,就采取行动阻止它。只需说出你的感受和模式:我很沮丧;我的情绪大脑占据了主导;我陷入了那个消极的循环。这个小小的举动会在你和你的情绪之间制造一个隔阂。)”可知,本段主要介绍了要说出自己的感受和模式,给自己的情绪贴上标签,B项“给正在发生的事情贴上标签。”符合语境,适合作为本段小标题。故选B项。
4.上文“Have pre-planned calming skills ready: deep breathing, mindful cooking, or distraction like watching a favorite show.(提前准备好冷静的技巧:深呼吸、专注烹饪,或者像看喜欢的节目这样的分散注意力的活动。)”介绍了一些冷静的技巧,G项“这些技巧不需要特殊技能,易于使用。”承接上文,说明这些技巧的特点,符合语境。故选G项。
5.上文“Reflect: What triggered (触发) me? A partner’s critical tone, sudden work change, or small disappointment?(反思:是什么触发了我?伴侣批评的语气、突然的工作变动,还是小小的失望?)” 提出反思触发点,后文“Or is it an ongoing emotional pattern?(又或者这是一个持续的情绪模式?)”用“Or”构成并列疑问,D选项“接下来,判断这是不是一个真正可以解决的问题。”承接上文,与后文语义并列、逻辑连贯,符合语境。故选D项。

Passage 5
(2026·重庆·二模)At 91, Pete Bernard is still full of energy. He walks his dog for long distances, cuts the grass in his garden. Remarkably, he has lived longer than two of his own children. His story makes many people wonder: 1
Scientists have long studied this question by examining the lives of very old people. Researchers agreed that two main factors greatly influence longevity: genetics and basic healthcare. 2 Those with parents and grandparents who reached old age often inherit helpful genes that protect their health and slow the aging process. Basic healthcare is equally important. Good nutrition, clean drinking water, vaccinations, and regular medical care help prevent serious illnesses and allow people to stay healthy for more years.
3 Scientists have identified four key qualities. First is a sense of purpose. In Sardinia, Italy, a region known for its remarkable number of centenarians, people often follow the idea of “la buona vita” — living with joy, strong community ties, and a clear purpose. The second is staying active. Rather than extreme sports, it is steady, enjoyable activity — such as gardening, farming, or household tasks — that matters most. Third, helping others. While feeling loved improves happiness, the act of caring for and supporting others is directly linked to increased lifespan. Finally, conscientiousness — the habit of being responsible, organized, and dependable — shows the strongest connection to long life. 4
Things like a good sense of humour or a positive attitude make life more enjoyable. 5 Unlike genetics or national healthcare systems, these personality qualities are largely within our control. By developing purpose, remaining active, helping others, and acting responsibly, each person may take practical steps toward a longer, healthier life.
A.They do not seem to extend lifespan, though.
B.Why do some individuals live to a very old age while others do not?
C.Do many environmental factors also act to reduce that upper age limit?
D.However, recent studies show that character traits are also powerful influences.
E.Regularly attending religious services can add as much as two years to a person’s life.
F.Genetics play a significant role, explaining why about one-third of some people live longer.
G.Conscientious persons avoid unnecessary risks, plan carefully, and tend to make healthier choices.
【答案】1.B 2.F 3.D 4.G 5.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨人类长寿的影响因素,除基因和医疗外,性格特质也至关重要。

Passage 1
(2026·重庆·二模)Our solar system is named after the Latin word for sun, “Sol”. The thing about our solar system is that while there are lots of other suns and planets out there, 1
Most other systems feature planets orbiting closer to their parent sun than Mercury (水星) does, the closest planet to Sol. Other systems also have “super Earths”. 2 And these systems usually have “hot Jupiters (木星)”, which are gas giants orbiting very close to their sun.
3 Other systems have planets with highly non-circular orbits, similar to those of comets (彗星). In our solar system, the planetary orbits are nearly circular and the planets are widely spaced. Other systems have planets grouped closely together, like peas in a pod.
Astronomers, and scientists in general don’t like “special” things. They like things that are “usual” or “typical” because that allows explanation. Yet, when faced with something unusual, they seek to understand it as well. 4 One theory states that at an early stage, Jupiter may have migrated through our solar system clearing out an initial group of large planets orbiting closer to Sol, before it settled in its current orbit. Another, more interesting, approach is to ask whether our solar system seems different simply because we have evolved to notice its uniqueness. 5 Or there are yet other possibilities.
A.our system is just a bit different.
B.there are more of them to be found.
C.The orbits of planets in our solar system are different too.
D.The act of observation may have changed what is observed.
E.So, of course, there are theories on why our solar system is different.
F.They are rocky planets larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune (海王星).
G.In fact, some planetary systems have orbits just as circular as those in ours.
Passage 2
(2026·重庆·二模)Dealing With Family Stress
When families face stressful issues, the ways they respond often depend on their dealing and stress-management resources. In times of hardship, it might be hard to imagine how to decrease stress within the family system. 1
First, consider carrying out a practice of having a family meeting where members can explore how the current stressors are impacting them. 2 For example, can you each agree not to talk over each other or to take a break if one of you starts to raise your voice. This can help ensure each member feels safe and heard.
3 Each family member can then get some alone time. During this time, that family member is supported in relaxing and joining in an activity they find comforting without interruptions from others. Doing so can allow greater space for rest and relaxation and support the development of internal resources.
To support mental wellness, a calm corner could be helpful. A calm corner is a part of the house that is set aside for quiet reflection. When things are feeling stressful, it is a place to go to take deep breaths and regulate nervous system. 4
Please be gentle with yourself during this process as it can be challenging to shift deeply fixed patterns, perspectives, and resources. It takes time to build and develop different skills and responses to stress. 5 Grant yourself patience and grace and take things one day and one moment at a time.
A.Change takes consistent effort over time.
B.It’s necessary to seek shared family activities.
C.It may also be helpful to create a family schedule.
D.Such a place can be friendly for kids and adults alike.
E.Before digging into dialogue, set some shared agreements.
F.However, even small actions can lead to different outcomes.
G.Focus on your emotions before considering the family’s needs.
Passage 3
(2026·重庆渝中·二模)I used to love my nonstick pans, marveling at the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic lining may release toxins (毒素) when heated. Thus began my campaign to rid my life of plastics. 1 But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy.
To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and cheaper. 2 Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I couldn’t turn on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic.
3 Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. The results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated with a potential risk of adverse health effects.
I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the kitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point Woodruff made stuck in my head. 4
So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for so many hours. 5 What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects around them seem bound to hurt them. Throwing the pans out seemed, for now, like the least I could do. And the most I could do, too.
A.I threw out obvious offenders.
B.We depend heavily on plastics.
C.I wanted to make life safer for my children.
D.I replaced my sons’ with natural alternatives.
E.Children are among those most at risk from plastics.
F.One day, I decided to see how long I could go without using plastic.
G.Plastic is not just everywhere in our homes, but everywhere, period.
Passage 4
(2026·重庆·二模)My volunteer journey began during a summer break when I joined a local organization supporting underprivileged (贫苦的) children. Initially, I viewed it as a way to spend my free time contributing to a good cause. 1
At first, I was shocked by the challenges these children faced — poverty, lack of education, and emotional pain. 2 However, as I spent more time with them, I started to understand their resilience (适应力) and strength, which inspired me to give my best effort. That marked the beginning of a deep and lasting connection.
3 One such instance occurred when I was helping a young girl, Maria, with her challenging subject math. After weeks of working together, I saw a breakthrough as I taught a difficult concept. The joy in her eyes was indescribable. It was then that I realized the power of patience and support. 4 I was responsible for coordinating (协调) a group of volunteers, which taught me leadership and teamwork skills. Those moments shaped my approach to volunteering and motivated me to seek more opportunities to serve.
The volunteer experience did more than provide valuable skills — it shifted my priorities and life goals. Before that, I had been focused on academic success and individual achievements. 5 I developed a passion for social work and community service, and I now try to integrate these into my future career.
A.In spite of my intentions, I felt unprepared to help truly.
B.Facing unexpected challenges helped me become more appreciative.
C.Another memorable moment was during a community event we organized.
D.Several critical moments made my volunteer experience truly life-changing.
E.However, the experience taught me there is more to life than those things.
F.Little did I know the experience would greatly transform my outlook on life.
G.The stories demonstrated the influence volunteering can have on individual growth.
Passage 5
(2026·重庆九龙坡·一模)Understanding Risk Awareness
Risk awareness is an interesting aspect of human mind, influencing decisions from daily activities to major life choices. Individuals often judge wrongly risks, either overstating or understating them. 1 For instance, flying is in terms of statistics safer than driving, yet many are more worried about flying. This difference is largely due to what experts in mind study refer to as the availability mental trick, a type of mental shortcut in which events easy to remember, such as incidents involving planes, control our thoughts.
2 Some societies accept risk-taking by valuing adventure and new ideas, while others put safety first and act with caution. These attitudes are shaped by historical experiences, economic steadiness, and societal rules. 3 In countries with high economic unfairness, people may take more risks because they have fewer resources, fewer opportunities, and feel they have little to lose. In contrast, rich societies might avoid risks to maintain their present situation and protect property.
Moreover, media coverage greatly alters risks as they are seen. 4 Shocking stories about rare but very destructive events create a twisted image of reality. Public campaigns and education fight against this by providing balanced information, helping individuals make wise decisions. 5 Understanding the mind behind risk awareness allows people making policies to design better plans for public safety and health.
A.Economic conditions also play a part in shaping risk attitudes.
B.In fact, we make judgments about various risks every single day.
C.This is why it's important to get information from reliable sources.
D.People in different societies have completely opposite views on risk.
E.Cultural backgrounds deeply influence how people view and react to risks.
F.Media tends to focus on dramatic events, ignoring ordinary but safe situations.
G.Such misjudgments often come from mental habits we use to simplify thinking.
Passage 6
(2026·重庆·一模) Move House Without the Waste
If you’ve got a house move coming up, then you’ll know that it can be a stressful experience. With everything going on, reducing the environmental impact of moving may not be high on your list of priorities. 1 . Thankfully, there are a few clever ways to green your move and save some money.
Firstly, it’s always best to declutter (清理) before you even start thinking about packing. Getting rid of stuff you don’t need means you need fewer boxes and fewer packaging materials. 2 , saving money and reducing pollution.
Once you’ve decluttered, you can move on to the packing stage. Many removal companies supply their own brand-new boxes at an additional cost. To save resources (and a bit of cash), it’s best to foster (培养) a good relationship with local shops. 3 . However, you can ask the staff when the delivery day is and then pop in that day to collect some cardboard boxes before they are sent to recycling.
4 — using suitcases instead of boxes. Ask your friends and family if you can borrow some. Laundry bags are also an excellent option. You can generally fit a lot in them and they are much easier to carry than boxes.
And finally, you can’t move your goods with cardboard boxes alone. Delicate items need some form of protection during the move. 5 . If you find yourself short on recycled materials, you can also use clean towels and clothes to wrap breakables in. This is also a clever space-saving technique!
A.They have a good supply of boxes
B.Yet moving can be quite a wasteful process
C.It may also mean you need a smaller removal truck
D.Moreover, get creative with items you are clearing out
E.Most of them won’t store cardboard boxes as it’s a fire risk
F.You can keep old newspapers or air-filled packaging beforehand
G.Alternatively, you can get crafty with the items you have around you
Passage 7
(2026·重庆九龙坡·一模)Do you find yourself making the same mistakes in your writing over and over again? 1 An error log is a personalized document that lists your mistakes and how to correct them. When you receive feedback about a mistake in your writing, you create an entry in your error log that includes the error and how to correct it. By using an error log, you can develop a plan to catch and correct errors before submitting your assignment.
2 Most people tend to repeat the same errors. As you add entries to your log, you will likely see a pattern emerge. 3 Then, as you edit your work, you can focus especially on checking and correcting these errors. By concentrating on a smaller number of repeated errors, you will reduce the overall number of mistakes in your writing as you master the areas that are most challenging to you.
Now, let’s see how to start your own error log. 4 When you discover you have made an error, add it to your chart, along with the correct way to write the sentence. When your error log has several entries, look for patterns. Choose 2 — 3 errors that you make most frequently. These will become your focus areas. Find resources that will help you correct these frequent errors. Possible resources include English grammars, dictionaries, writing guides, and handouts. 5
A.Error logs are useful for this.
B.Here is how an error log can help.
C.Making mistakes is not a bad thing.
D.Others will also make the errors you make.
E.You will refer to these materials when you edit.
F.First, create a chart to keep with you each time you write.
G.You can identify 2 — 3 errors that you most commonly make.

(2026·重庆九龙坡·一模)How to Raise Kids Who Value Wealth and Giving
“What do you want your children to know about money?” It’s a simple question — but the answer has the power to shape your family’s legacy for generations. 1 It’s a mirror of our values, a tool for impact, and a teacher of life lessons. If we want to raise economically responsible and purpose-filled kids, we need to be intentional.
Start early.
2 Even preschoolers can grasp the idea of money being earned, saved, and used with intention. As kids earn a little pocket money or small rewards, they learn to divide their money into meaningful categories. Over time, this builds muscle memory around choices, delayed satisfaction, and generosity.
Connect money to values.
As children grow, so should the depth of your money conversations and try to involve them in real-life decisions. For example, give them a back-to-school shopping amount and let them manage priorities. Most importantly, show them how money reflects values. 3 Teens can spot inconsistency a mile away.
4
You don’t need to be a financial expert to raise financially wise children. You just need to be open. Share your financial mistakes while keep transparent about budgeting and trade-offs. Kids learn best not by being told — but by being shown. Let money talks happen naturally around the dinner table, during car rides, or while watching the news.
Introduce the joy of giving.
One of the most powerful gifts you can give your child is the habit of generosity. Invite your kids into the giving process, and let them choose a charity to support with their “Give” jar or volunteer together as a family. It will dawn on them that money is more than what you keep. 5
A.Ground it in action.
B.It’s also about what you share.
C.Make it a lifestyle, not a lecture.
D.Young kids are more capable than we think.
E.Money is never just about dollars and cents.
F.It doesn’t need to be big; it just needs to be real.
G.Are your spending patterns in line with what you say?
Passage 9
(2026·重庆·一模)Four Things I Learned About Myself While Volunteering in India
After a satisfying career as communications director for a non-profit international charity, I wanted my retirement to reflect my values and my dreams. A friend suggested I create an equation (等式): values+ dreams=? I boiled values down to “social justice”, and dreams to “foreign travel”.
A community development organization in Nagpur, India, welcomed my volunteer help with programs, translation, and grant writing, and the local college wanted me to teach English for free. 1 But I gained far more than I gave.
I won’t “settle” no matter what my age.
I had settled into a relationship that seemed perfect for a 60+ woman. But he would take an expensive rail journey through India while only writing checks to charity. I chose India over him. 2
3
My flat room had broken plastic floor, a hard bed, and no TV or Wi-Fi. The shower fell at three drops per minute. But soon, that room became my cozy home. I unplugged. I read more, walked more, and visited temples and festivals. Life was simpler, freer.
I can depend on the kindness around me.
4 Dolly refused to take money for my haircut while Vasanti and Vinta took care of me. A stranger at a church rescued me from a crowd and said gently, “I will be your father.” That moment stayed with me more than the writings the others saw.
The difference between me and Indian women is what we wear.
Micro-loans help Indian women start businesses, send children to school, and improve their homes. 5 “While men are making war, we women are cooking soup and raising children,” I said. We were more alike than different.
I spent four winters volunteering there. It wasn’t escape— it was purpose.
A.I saw myself in them.
B.I was expecting to “give back”.
C.I thought we faced similar problems.
D.Getting by with less is not a sacrifice.
E.Living a simple life was not easy at first.
F.My fellow workers showed warmth and generosity.
G.Now, I would not trade my lifestyle for security or convenience.
Passage 10
(2026·重庆沙坪坝·一模)Urban Green Spaces: Cooling Our Cities Naturally
As cities worldwide continue to expand, natural landscapes are rapidly disappearing beneath concrete and steel. 1 . This phenomenon, known as the urban heat island effect, raises city temperatures by several degrees compared to surrounding rural areas, making summers hotter and increasing the need for air conditioning. 2 . These are areas within cities specifically designed to include vegetation and natural elements — parks, rooftop gardens, tree-lined streets, and even small community plots. Beyond their aesthetic value, these green spaces play a key role in fighting the urban heat island effect by absorbing heat, filtering air pollutants, and providing much-needed shade.
The benefits of urban green spaces extend far beyond temperature control. 3 . Research has shown that spending time in natural settings reduces stress hormones in adults and improves mood. For children, regular interaction with greenery enhances attention spans and boosts creative problem-solving skills.
Despite these clear advantages, many cities face a major challenge: limited land for green development. 4 . Community gardens turn abandoned lots into productive green areas, while vertical green walls allow buildings to be covered with plants without taking up extra ground space. These innovative approaches prove that nature can coexist with urbanization.
5 . By integrating nature into our cities, we create healthier, more livable environments for both present and future generations. Investing in urban greening is not a waste of resources but a smart choice that brings long-term benefits to public health, community bonds, and environmental sustainability.
A.Urban planners have come up with creative solutions to this problem.
B.Psychological benefits are especially valuable in fast-paced, high-stress urban life.
C.Mental and physical health benefits are among the most significant ones.
D.This not only makes cities uncomfortably hot but also increases energy consumption.
E.The key is to recognize green spaces as essential urban infrastructure, not luxury extras.
F.Fortunately, a growing trend is bringing nature back to cities through urban green spaces.
G.Keeping urban green spaces in good condition requires large sums of money and constant effort.
Passage 1
(2026·重庆沙坪坝·二模)For many people, Christmas can be a magical day filled with delight and indulgences (放纵). But for those down on their luck or disadvantaged, it can be a time of sorrow and disappointment. That’s why the countries of the British Commonwealth have set aside the day after Christmas as Boxing Day, and its purpose was to bring a bit of magic to those who could use it. 1
Every December 26, going at least as far back as 1833, the United Kingdom and other countries that are part of the British Commonwealth have observed Boxing Day as an opportunity to provide some holiday joy to those who most need it.
2 One is that it refers to the giving of “Christmas boxes,” a term that originated in the 17th century to describe gifts, money and other leftovers from Christmas that landowners would give to their servants and employees for having worked on Christmas Day. Basically, Christmas Boxes were holiday bonuses for the working class.
The other is that it refers to the “alms boxes” that would traditionally appear in churches in the weeks leading up to Christmas. 3 The donations were then distributed to those in need after Christmas Day. The day after Christmas is also the feast of St. Stephen, a martyr (殉教者) known for his acts of charity.
The day is still a national holiday in many parts of the British Commonwealth, and some people still give back to the less fortunate on Boxing Day. 4 It has now become more related to spending up big at a department store.
But must it be this way? Actually, there exists a different path for this day. 5 Just like in classic stories, you might find your heart growing richer, even if your wallet doesn’t.
A.But its original spirit is being forgotten.
B.So what exactly is Boxing Day all about?
C.There are competing stories behind its name.
D.Consider observing your own charitable Boxing Day.
E.Their purpose was to collect money from church-goers.
F.Celebrate the day by enjoying time with your loved ones.
G.However, many argue this isn’t the best way to help the poor.
Passage 2
(2026·重庆九龙坡·二模)First Aid for Emotional Outbursts: How to Hit the Brakes
Emotional outbursts can happen suddenly — that flash of anger, overwhelming anxiety or sadness. These feelings come without warning. 1 Your emotions take control; your mind shuts down, and you feel consumed by tunnel vision. Here’s a four-step plan to manage these intense feelings and regain control.
Realize your emotions have taken over.
Once your brain’s emotional center fires up, your rational (理智的) mind goes offline. Your brain drifts into past experiences fueling your mood, making it stronger. 2 They circle back, strengthening your feelings and making escape harder. The first step is recognizing this cycle: your rational mind is offline, and racing thoughts worsen the situation.
3
As soon as you notice this emotional cycle, take action to stop it. Simply name your feelings and pattern: I’m upset; my emotional brain has taken over; I’m stuck in that negative circle. This small act creates a gap between you and your emotions.
Calm yourself.
Have pre-planned calming skills ready: deep breathing, mindful cooking, or distraction like watching a favorite show. 4 They work by grounding you in the present, pulling you from negative memories and worst cases. Experts advise listing these methods visibly for easy access.
Once calm, circle back.
Reflect: What triggered (触发) me? A partner’s critical tone, sudden work change, or small disappointment? 5 Or is it an ongoing emotional pattern? Finally, take targeted action to solve it.
The key to handling emotional outbursts is balancing regulation and problem-solving. Master these steps, and you’ll hit the brakes on intense emotions before they take over.
A.Stop feeling bad.
B.Label what’s going on.
C.Reflect why it has influenced your mood.
D.Next, judge if it’s a real solvable problem.
E.They hit fast, intense feelings hard to process.
F.Memories turn into negative thoughts quickly.
G.These techniques need no special skills and are easy to use.
Passage 3
(2026·重庆·二模)Are You Competitive?
Are you competitive? Too competitive or not competitive enough? Or does it depend? 1 In fact, there are many areas included within“competition,” and it’s not all black or white.
Healthy Competition
2 It is necessary for success and growth. Healthy competition brings out our personal best. 3 competition also helps groups and companies to excel and be creative and innovative.

Passage 5
(2026·重庆·二模)At 91, Pete Bernard is still full of energy. He walks his dog for long distances, cuts the grass in his garden. Remarkably, he has lived longer than two of his own children. His story makes many people wonder: 1
Scientists have long studied this question by examining the lives of very old people. Researchers agreed that two main factors greatly influence longevity: genetics and basic healthcare. 2 Those with parents and grandparents who reached old age often inherit helpful genes that protect their health and slow the aging process. Basic healthcare is equally important. Good nutrition, clean drinking water, vaccinations, and regular medical care help prevent serious illnesses and allow people to stay healthy for more years.
3 Scientists have identified four key qualities. First is a sense of purpose. In Sardinia, Italy, a region known for its remarkable number of centenarians, people often follow the idea of “la buona vita” — living with joy, strong community ties, and a clear purpose. The second is staying active. Rather than extreme sports, it is steady, enjoyable activity — such as gardening, farming, or household tasks — that matters most. Third, helping others. While feeling loved improves happiness, the act of caring for and supporting others is directly linked to increased lifespan. Finally, conscientiousness — the habit of being responsible, organized, and dependable — shows the strongest connection to long life. 4
Things like a good sense of humour or a positive attitude make life more enjoyable. 5 Unlike genetics or national healthcare systems, these personality qualities are largely within our control. By developing purpose, remaining active, helping others, and acting responsibly, each person may take practical steps toward a longer, healthier life.
A.They do not seem to extend lifespan, though.
B.Why do some individuals live to a very old age while others do not?
C.Do many environmental factors also act to reduce that upper age limit?
D.However, recent studies show that character traits are also powerful influences.
E.Regularly attending religious services can add as much as two years to a person’s life.
F.Genetics play a significant role, explaining why about one-third of some people live longer.
G.Conscientious persons avoid unnecessary risks, plan carefully, and tend to make healthier choices.
