Because they had drawn what they truly saw,not what they thought a face should look like.They also did something rare:they made eye-to-eye,face-to-face contact for almost a full minute without looking away.They slowed down,focused fully,and truly noticed another person.That was the secret to drawing"a real face." Later,as an illustrated journalist,I planned a drawn story about how public libraries served the people.I explored every corner of the library and genuinely connected with the staff.I found with their intentional,public-spirited help,those seemingly ordinary facilities served people in far more meaningful ways.Computers that I assumed were for checking out books or emails were actually lifelines for people searching for jobs and housing.The sinks in the public restroom served as a laundromat (and showers for the homeless.The entirely new and rich truth contributed to my series of breathing drawings. I do not hope everyone becomes an artist,but everyone can learn to see deeply.Slow down, pay attention,and truly observe;you will rediscover love for the world and all people around you. We urgently need this courage-to see each other and ourselves clearly,and to honor the real truth hidden in plain sight. 24.What confused the author in the first paragraph? A.The adult's serious criticism. B.The lack of clear drawing rules. C.The adult's fixed way of drawing. D.The strangeness of the adult's face. 25.Why were the drawings described as"terrible but wonderful"in paragraph 2? A.They were messy but detailed. B.They were rough but lively. C.They appeared ugly but organized. D.They seemed simple but friendly. 26.What do the underlined words"The entirely new and rich truth"refer to in paragraph 3? A.The library's hidden social service. B.Better maintenance of facilities C.The intention to help the homeless. D.The discovery of good stories. 27.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Drawing a Magic B.Discovering the Art C.Seeing the Real Face D.Creating Fine Works 0 Why does“bouba'”sound round and"kiki'”sound spiky(尖锐的)？This perception,known as "bouba-kiki"effect,is reliable all over the world,and for at least a century,scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language,theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first 英语试题（第3页，共10页） words upon these associations between sound and shape.But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding:baby chickens make these same pairings,suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole,a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua.She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels:one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves;the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion.They then played recordings of humans saying either "bouba"or"kiki"and observed the birds'behavior. When the chicks heard"bouba,"80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape.When the chicks heard"kiki,"the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out,since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak.Instead the "bouba-kiki"effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves.When round objects hit the ground or roll,they typically produce more continuous,low-frequency sounds than spiky ones.A built-in grasp of those dynamics,linking sight and sound,could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment,possibly to locate food or avoid predators(食肉动物). The "bouba-kiki"effect may have played a role in the emergence of language.But for chickens,this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose."Even if language is unique to humans,"Loconsole says,"that doesn't mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans..” 28.What does the new study focus on? A.The origin of human language. B.Sound-shape connections in chicks. C.Animals'recognition of shapes. D.Brain-behavior relationships of birds. 29.In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds? A.Sound localization. B.Reaction speed. C.Exploration preference. D.Matching accuracy. 30.What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the bouba-kiki effect? A.Its historical context. B.Its potential application. C.Its overlooked limitation. D.Its possible explanation. 31.What does Loconsole say about the effect? A.It originated in birds. B.It shows evolutionary tendency. C.It's shared across species D.It's vital to language emergence. 英语试题（第4页，共10页） D As all gardeners know,fruits and vegetables that have gone bad could be a precious resource. Let them bubble away in a composter (and they become rich food for flower beds and vegetable gardens.Engineers know it too.The nutrients produced by decaying food can also be used to fuel bioreactors-devices for producing new substance. With bioreactors,almost everything from medicines to cleaner and greener materials, machine oils,fabrics,and even foods,could be generated.Capra Biosciences,Inc.,a start-up behind a cutting-edge bioreactor technology,is working with professionals from different fields at the Boston University College of Engineering,to make a smarter,more efficient bioreactor. Capra's bioreactor-known as a continuous flow device-uses biofilm,essentially a layer of thick,glue-like material that provides an ideal home for microbes ()They've already used it to create a petroleum-free skin cream and plan to turn it to producing biological,rather than petrochemical,lubricants (for motors and other machinery.But making the business possible will require automation and novel quality-control and security measures,which is where the Boston University team-with backgrounds in genetic engineering,electronics,and automation-comes in.Despite progress,maintaining consistent output across diverse waste streams remains a key challenge. To address this challenge,the BU team has already proposed a series of design solutions that will allow the company to turn an unpredictable combination of food,animal waste,and other waste products into a reliable final result,as well as monitor the whole process with tiny sensors moving about in a bioreactor.They also have a plan for allowing other researchers nationwide to adapt their work and create identical devices producing multiple life-changing,and planet-saving products in a vast range of fields. "This kind of teamwork is amazing.It is the future in terms of where advances in biotechnology are coming from,"says Capra cofounder Andrew Magyar."We want to engineer organisms to help us make products sustainably and cost-competitively,so consumers won't have to decide,Do I want the sustainable option or the cheap option?'" 32.Why does the author mention the composter in the first paragraph? A.To promote a tool to recycle food waste. B.To introduce an idea of useful breakdown. C.To show a way of producing food for plants. D.To describe a problem about food going bad. 英语试题（第5页，共10页） 33.What is the function of the biofilm? A.To run the bioreactor. B.To produce skin creams. C.To support bacteria growth. D.To distinguish lubricant types. 34.How has the BU team contributed to Capra? A.By developing sensors to detect nutrients. B.By building identical devices in other fields. C.By stabilizing final products with monitoring. D.By creating a more energy-efficient bioreactor. 35.What do Andrew Magyar's words imply? A.Biotechnology is the future of science. B.Teamwork is more important than new ideas. C.Customers prioritize price over sustainability. D.The team will make green products affordable. 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。 In many cities today,life runs on speed.People walk with earphones in,reply to messages while waiting for the light to change,and scroll (through other people's days on the way to their own.36 Yet noticing is exactly where a calmer life begins. Think about the last time you genuinely noticed an ordinary moment:the smell of rain rising from warm pavement,or the quiet relief of finally sitting down after a long day.These small details seldom make it into anyone's online highlights.37Yet when we pay attention to them,we return to our own lives instead of merely passing by. Noticing is not a luxury only reserved for those with plenty of free time. 38 The point is not to create a perfect routine but to make tiny openings in the day.These moments can be simple and easily built into everyday life.You might pause before entering a classroom,take one slow breath,and let your shoulders drop.Or you might simply observe those around you on the bus without judgement. 39 When the world is no longer just background noise,the distance between"me" and "them"begins to narrow.In fact,it may lead us to ask for help or to offer help.Small acts like holding a door or offering a seat feel less like duties and more like natural responses. Of course,noticing does not fix everything.It won't erase deadlines or resolve real hardships that require time,resources and support.But it gives us a clearer mind to act,rather than just react. 40 英语试题（第6页，共10页） A.It can take less than a minute. B.Noticing has a surprising social effect. C.That's why we should try to record them online. D.As a result,we tend to focus too much on others. E.Some are easy to miss,but quietly shape how we feel. F.And then,we are more likely to care,for ourselves and others,patiently. G.It seems understandable that we rarely pause to notice the present moment 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分) 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was born without arms,but I've grown into a confident artist.My parents raised me to believe that nothing could stop me from 41 great things.

As they carefully moved an old,heavy bookshelf to paint the wall behind it,Lila suddenly froze."Look!There are hidden pictures on the wall..." The two kids gently pulled the shelf aside.Dust danced in the light as they revealed beautiful pencil drawings:a teapot growing pink cherry blossoms,a bicycle flying above clouds,and a happy woman dancing with twin girls under a soft sky. Raj took a picture with his phone."The lines look a bit shaky,"he whispered,"like they were drawn in a hurry.” Lila stared at her can of white paint.She did not want to cover these precious pictures. "Covering these lines felt like silencing a singing bird.We can't do it!It is like erasing someone's secret diary!"she cried. 英语试题（第9页，共10页） Nurse Clara rushed over and explained warmly that these were Mrs.Talbot's secret drawings, created whenever the elderly woman couldn't find the words to speak her memories.Raj adjusted his glasses and his eyes lit up."What if we scan them?My 3D printer could make real models for the old people to touch!" "That is a great idea,"Ms.Reed said."But we need to ask the manager first." A few minutes later,Ms.Reed came back with a big smile."I talked to the manager,and we have permission!"she announced happily."We can save these drawings and use our art and technology to make them shine again." Lila and Raj cheered loudly.They couldn't wait to start their special,creative project! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Over the next week,they worked tirelessly.

He then used his 3D printer to create tangible models of the bicycle and teapot for the elders to touch.Meanwhile,Lila and Ms.Reed transformed the newly painted walls into a canvas for light, testing various projectors to ensure the colors would pop against the fresh paint.Despite the fatigue and tight deadline,the team was fueled by a shared purpose:to give a voice back to the silent memories hidden behind the bookshelf. On that golden Saturday,a digital exhibition lit the room with living memories.As the lights dimmed,the activity room was bathed in a warm,magical glow.The teapot blossomed with digital flowers,and the bicycle seemed to soar through the air,accompanied by soft music.The residents watched in awe,but the most touching moment came when Mrs.Talbot was wheeled in.Her eyes widened as she saw her secret world projected clearly on the wall.A tear rolled down her cheek, and for the first time in months,she whispered,"Beautiful."The team exchanged proud smiles, realizing they hadn't just redecorated a room;they had preserved a soul 英语试题答案（第2页，共2页）2026年广州市普通高中毕业班考前冲刺题（三） 英语试题参考答案 第二部分阅读 第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 21.C 22.B 23.A 24.A 25.C 26.A 27.B 28.B 29.C 30.D 31.C 32.B 33.C 34.B 35.B 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 36.F 37.C 38.G 39.B 40.E 第三部分语言运用 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 41.C 42.A 43.B 44.B 45.A 46.D 47.B 48.C 49.D 50.A 51.D 52.C 53.B 54.A 55.C 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 56.officially 57.in 58.while /and 59.bases 60.certainty 61.have total(l)ed 62.pushing 63.shipped 64.whose 65.to conduct 第四部分写作 第一节 【作答示例】 Are Life Skills Classes Necessary? From my perspective,life skills classes are absolutely necessary for high school students. Firstly,these classes bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and real-life needs. Academic subjects train our minds,but skills like cooking a simple meal,doing laundry properly, or managing a weekly budget prepare us for independent living after graduation.Moreover,a curriculum dotted with such hands-on activities can bring so much fun and relaxation,offering a break from intense exam preparation.They can even promote family harmony.When students share housework skills at home,they lighten their parents'burden and strengthen family bonds. 英语试题答案（第1页，共2页） In short,life skills matter as much as academic ones.So why not consider adding these practical courses to our timetable?A small change might bring big benefits for all of us. 第二节 【作答示例】 “How about going to the beach?”Mike said..“Yay！”the girls shouted.I glared at Mike..“How is a trip to the beach going to help?The girls needed an activity that was educational.That was the point of Mommy Camp,right?"But Lily and Grace were so excited.I couldn't say no.So we headed to the beach.The girls ran ahead,kicking off their shoes as soon as their feet touched the soft sand.Grace and Lily built a sandcastle with Mike.They collected smooth stones and shells, asking each other why some shells were broken.I sat on the beach,feeling the sun on my face, and for the first time that week,I stopped worrying about finishing a project.Mike joined me with two cold drinks,said nothing,and just smiled. As we drove home,the girls chatted happily about the "best day ever."They compared their favorite shells and argued over who had found the flattest skipping stone.Listening to them,I felt a sense of peace.The week had been full of failed crafts and complaints,yet here they were more excited than any of my carefully planned activities.Mike glanced at me in the rear-view mirror and gave a small nod.That night,with the girls finally asleep,I sat down and reflected.I realized that learning didn't always need a schedule.Sometimes the best lessons came from simply letting go.I decided that next summer,"Mommy Camp"would have only one rule:Follow the Fun. 英语试题答案（第2页，共2页）★启用前注意保密 试卷类型：A 2026年普通高中毕业班考前冲刺题（三) 英语 本试卷共10页，满分120分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项：1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、试室号和座位号填写在答题卡上。 用2B铅笔将试卷类型(A)填涂在答题卡相应位置上。并在答题卡相应位置 上填涂考生号。因笔试不考听力，试卷从第二部分开始，试题序号从21”开始。 2.作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡对应题目选项的答案 信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案。答案不能答在试 卷上。 3.非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指 定区域内相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新答案；不 准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效。 4考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第二部分阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Silk Road International Arts Festival is a unique event that brings together artists from around the world through performances and exhibitions.By creating a space where different artistic traditions can meet,it celebrates cultural diversity and encourages exchange across cultures.Held in Xi'an this year,the festival also offers the city a chance to present its ancient heritage in conversation with modern artistic expression.

B In 1975,five-year-old Jeff,in a wheelchair,asked to meet Fred Rogers of the Neighborhood rather than going to Disneyland.It was the family's own version of"Make-A-Wish,"proposed on 英语试题（第2页，共10页） the eve of Jeffs major spinal (surgery.Jeff later said Mr.Rogers told him he was special and that he was just fine the way he was,and it gave him confidence. Jeffs parents wrote to the television star and got a handwritten reply that led to a breakfast meeting.They continued to correspond.After the surgery,Rogers wrote to say how glad he was that Jeff's surgery had gone well.Then in 1980,Rogers decided to feature a child in a wheelchair on his show for a theme week on all things mechanical.He remembered Jeff and insisted it had to be him. On the show,Rogers asked Jeff straightforwardly about his wheelchair and how he came to be in it.Producer Margy Whitmer recalled Jeff's appearance on the show:"It was one of the most impressive moments...Here's this child who has multiple disabilities,and Fred said,Talk to me about that wheelchair.Talk to me about what's wrong with you.'And this extraordinary kid talked about his medical condition in a matter-of-fact way.Fred presented it to kids watching the show, as 'this is just the way he is." This was the philosophy of Fred Rogers's complete acceptance:there was no topic he wouldn't address on air."We don't fudge things,"he once said when asked about the sources of the show's popularity."People long to be in touch with honesty." Jeff and Rogers didn't meet again until 1999,when Rogers was being honored with a place in the Television Hall of Fame.When Jeff rolled onstage to surprise him,Rogers ran up and hugged him as if they were the only two people in the room."On behalf of millions of children and grown-ups,"said Jeff,quoting Fred's own song,"It's you I like." There wasn't a dry eye in the well-dressed house. 24.What did Jeff gain from his meeting with Fred Rogers? A.A good feeling about himself.

The system works by taking written views of individuals within a group and using them to generate a set of group statements designed to be acceptable to all.Group members can then rate these statements.The most popular statement is then returned to participants to assess.Next,the AI mediation system generates revised statements,which participants again rate.The system then selects the winning statement. The team used the system in a series of experiments involving a total of more than 5,000 participants who responded to various topics.The researchers found the initial group statement from the C Machine was preferred by participants 56%of the time over a group statement produced by human mediators. Part of the model's success,researchers say,lies in its determination to give special weight to dissenting opinion.It was not the case that participants always switched opinion to support the majority view.Rather than siding with the majority,it allowed minority voices to feel heard. The AI mediation system"offers a new approach to collective deliberation (that avoids some of the limitations of in-person deliberation,including its cost,limited scale,the potential for mediator bias,"the researchers conclude.However,the AI mediation process may lack some of the benefits of in-person discussion,they write,such as "nonverbal clues and the opportunity to build interpersonal relationships with other discussants."Machine seldom offers participants the chance to explain their feelings. In addition,the researchers note that the AI mediation system could generate an ill-informed output if asked to synthesize()human opinions that are based on limited or false information. Thus,the researchers conclude that if their system is used in the real world,it should be "embedded in a larger deliberative process,including careful selection of participants to ensure that a balanced and diverse community is represented in the debate." 28.What is the C Machine aimed at? A.Simplifying rating system. B.Facilitating greater agreement. C.Managing interpersonal conflict. D.Honouring the German philosopher. 29.What does the underlined word"dissenting"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Informed. B.Novel. C.Differing. D.Decisive. 英语试题（第4页，共10页） 30.What may be the disadvantage of the AI-mediated discussions? A.They lack shared collective wisdom. B.They raise participants'opportunity cost. C.They fail to tap into participants'potential. D.They rarely promote empathy among participants. 31.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.Risks of AI mediation. B.Future AI developments. C.Tips on AI mediation use. D.Ethical concerns about AI. D In recent years,consumers have increasingly sought"clean-label"foods-products made with natural ingredients.This trend has driven scientists to search for safe,natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut()that is often thrown away- the shell.From it,they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid(CNSL)and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay ()While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine,its potential for preserving food had not been fully explored until now. The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally.They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations.Some meat was left untreated as controls.The samples were then stored under different conditions-some at room temperature and others in refrigeration-for two weeks. During storage,a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable (counts and specific spoilage organisms,including Pseudomonas spp.,Clostridium spp.,and Proteus spp.Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity,while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature.The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat.The effect was strongest at higher concentrations,with a 2.0%solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality.Even at room temperature,it effectively delayed the meat's souring process and reduced bacteria growth,helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer. The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef,and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results.Still,this study opens a window into nature's own way of keeping food fresh- hidden inside a humble cashew shell. 英语试题（第5页，共10页） 32.Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells? A.To reduce waste in the food industry. B.To find natural preservatives for food. C.To improve the tastes of processed food. D.To expand industrial uses of the shell oil. 33.What was the primary focus of the microbiological evaluation? A.The variety of cashew species. B.The safety of refrigerated beef. C.CNSL's anti-bacteria effectiveness. D.The changes in pH and water activity. 34.What does the experiment suggest about CNSL? A.It works best at room temperature. B.Its effect depends on concentration. C.It can improve meat quality over time.D.It speeds up the meat's souring process. 35.What is the author's attitude towards the future of CNSL? A.Fully convinced. B.Cautiously optimistic. C.Hesitant and doubtful. D.Neutral and objective. 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。 After 20 years of teaching,I thought I'd heard every excuse from students trying to get a better grade.But recently I heard a new complaint:"My grade doesn't reflect the effort I put into this course."36.In the past,students understood this and they knew"A"required great work.Yet today,Generation Z expect to be rewarded for the quantity of their effort rather than the quality of their knowledge.In surveys,two-thirds of college students say that"trying hard"should be a factor in their grades. 3 _It's the result of a misunderstanding about one popular educational theories. Psychologists have long found that rewarding effort helps form a strong work ethic and reinforces learning.38 We've gone from praising effort to treating it as an end in itself.We've failed to remind them that working hard doesn't guarantee a good job.There's a reason we award Olympic medals to the athletes who swim the fastest,not the ones who train the hardest.What counts is not mere effort but the progress and result. The ideal response to a disappointing grade is not to complain that your diligence wasn't rewarded.39 Trying harder isn't always the answer.Sometimes it's working smarter,and other times,it's working on something else altogether.Devotion is just one of the many contributing factors to achievement.Ability,opportunity and luck count,too. 英语试题（第6页，共10页） Now in my classes,students are assessed on the quality of their written essays,class participation,group presentations and final papers or exams.I make it clear that"A"is not granted for effort itself;it is earned through mastery of knowledge.The true measure of learning is not the time and energy you put in.40. A.Teachers are to blame. B.It is to ask how to improve. C.This isn't Generation Z's fault. D."B"may not fully reflect your dedication. E.It's the knowledge and skills you acquire. F.Yet high marks are for excellence,not perseverance. G.But we've taken the practice of celebrating diligence too far. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Since young,I had needed to write as one needs to breathe,but social values convinced me that writing wasn't 41.Yet chaining myself to other 42 frightened me.So I set foot on Iceland as an exchange student,giving myself one more year to 43 what to do with my life.

On the first day,we tried to make paw (print paintings with our dog Pete.But Pete wouldn't stay still.Paint spread everywhere,and the dog ended up purple.The girls laughed,but I felt stressed.Worse still,they soon got bored."Mom,can we just go outside and play?"Grace asked."No,we'll finish the paintings later,"I said firmly."Let's do a craft for Pete at the shelter." We moved on to making dog toys,but I badly underestimated how long each would take.We got only a handful done. That night,I collapsed in a chair.Mike sat beside me and said,"You look wiped out.Maybe you're trying too hard.The girls just want to have fun."I explained that I wanted them to learn something meaningful.Mike shook his head and left me to it. 英语试题（第9页，共10页） Over the next few days,we crafted starfish and dolphins from cardboard and drew castles and shells.The girls complained a lot.Lily whispered to Grace,"I wish we could go to the beach."I pretended not to hear.Every night,I felt down because we didn't finish everything as planned.
