Passage 1
(2026·江苏南京·二模)
In Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale, he announced the emergence of the daffodil (水仙花) as the telling sign that we had reached “the sweet o’ the year,” that the winds of March’s beauty had arrived, and that a brighter season had begun.
In choosing daffodils, the classic yellow type remains a popular choice. However, there are more elegant varieties to pepper throughout your borders, including “Paperwhite” and “Moonlight Sensation”. 1 Fortunately, planting and growing daffodils is a simple task that will gain rich springtime rewards.
Planting daffodil bulbs (球茎) requires you to think ahead. The ideal planting time is at the beginning of autumn, before the weather becomes too cold. 2 Late October to November is perfect for regions of mild climates. Additionally, soil with good drainage (排水) is a must, as bulbs won’t produce a wonderful spring display if they sit in water for a long time. 3 What’s more, plant your daffodil bulbs at a depth that is roughly 3 times the bulb’s height, and allow 4-6 inches between them. 4 Otherwise, your daffodils would look unnatural.
5 They enjoy bright light but can also grow healthily in low light. Water the bulbs regularly during growth — there’s no need for frequent watering, as they tolerate slight dryness well. A small amount of general fertiliser is sufficient when shoots emerge to support growth, and this regular application can fully meet their nutrient needs.
A.Avoiding planting in rigid rows is a nice trick.
B.Daffodils ask for strict light and water control.
C.This allows them to establish roots before winter.
D.Daffodil lovers have devoted much time and energy.
E.Add organics to improve its nutrition for additional care.
F.Prized for toughness, daffodils require a light touch in care.
G.A spring garden is incomplete without the cheerful daffodil.
Passage 2
(2026·江苏徐州·二模)
As the college entrance examination was approaching, I was under great pressure in senior three. I fixed my mind entirely on review every day, wishing to improve my grades steadily. The constant chirps from a bird nest in the old banyan tree outside the window always disturbed my study. 1 I even discussed with my classmates whether we could ask the school to remove the nest.
2 He did not criticize our selfish idea at all. In his reply, he told us that every small life should be respected, and we needed to learn to live in harmony with birds while pursuing our dreams. To help us study better, the school prepared thick sound-proof curtains and changed part of our evening self-study time properly.
We were moved by the headmaster’s kindness. 3 The teacher introduced that these birds were in their breeding period and would leave campus soon. She also told us the importance of protecting wild birds and keeping the ecological balance. My annoyance with the chirps disappeared little by little.
One day after class, I went close to the banyan tree to watch the nest. I saw the mother bird flying back and forth with food for her babies. The warm picture made me feel soft in my heart. 4
This experience has changed my attitude towards life. 5 I finally understood that real growth is not only gaining excellent academic results but also learning to be tolerant, gentle and respectful to all lives around us. This warm memory will stay in my heart forever.
A.I lost my focus completely.
B.I no longer saw the chirps as noise.
C.The headmaster replied to us warmly.
D.We attended a special biology lecture.
E.It taught me what real growth truly means.
F.I tried to find a quiet place to study alone.
G.Small and lovely lives deserve our care and protection
Passage 3

Finding Your Voice in Family Expectations
Growing up in a family of successful entrepreneurs, Lila had always been expected to take over the family’s import business. Every family dinner revolved around market trends and client meetings, and her love for pottery was dismissed as a “childhood hobby.” When she finally decided to pursue a career in ceramics, she felt a crushing sense of guilt for letting her parents down. 1 As life coach Mara explains, honoring your own truth doesn’t mean rejecting your family — it means building a life that feels authentic to you. Here are key steps to navigate this delicate balance.
Start by clarifying what “authenticity” means for you. 2 For Lila, the biggest source of stress was the constant pressure to attend business events she had no interest in. She resolved this by setting a clear schedule: two evenings a week for family business, and the rest dedicated to her studio. This small shift freed her from the constant feeling of being pulled in two directions.
Once you’ve defined your priorities, communicate them with kindness and consistency. 3 Lila’s parents were initially hurt that she wouldn’t be at every family gathering, but she reassured them that her love for them hadn’t changed — she just needed space to grow in her own way.
It’s also crucial to validate both your own emotions and those of your family. 4 It’s natural to feel guilty for straying from tradition, and your loved ones may grieve the future they imagined for you. Recognizing these feelings doesn’t mean you’re making the wrong choice; it means you’re human.
Above all, reject the idea that choosing yourself is selfish. Setting boundaries isn’t about turning your back on your family — it’s about protecting the part of you that makes you unique. 5 Many people have walked this path before you, and their stories can offer comfort and guidance.
A.And remember, you’re not the first to walk this path.
B.In fact, honoring your truth is an act of courage, not selfishness.
C.Pinpoint the situations that drain your energy most.
D.Change may feel uncomfortable for your family at first.
E.Sometimes delegating tasks can ease the pressure.
F.Always put your family’s expectations above your own dreams.
G.Feeling guilty doesn’t mean you’re a disappointment.
Passage 4
(2026·江苏南通·二模)
Mistakes are an unavoidable part of life. They can range from minor errors to significant missteps that change our life’s direction. Instead of getting lost in regret, it’s crucial to learn how to heal and grow from those experiences. 1 Here are the tips you can try the next time you want to forgive yourself.
Understand the impact of past mistakes.
Past mistakes often leave emotional marks. Feelings such as guilt, shame, and regret can overshadow our lives. Recognizing how these emotions affect us is the first step to healing. It’s vital to remember that making mistakes is a normal part of being human. 2 Embracing this shared experience can help you approach it with understanding rather than harsh judgment.
3
Releasing guilt and shame is essential for healing. These negative feelings can trap you in a loop of self-blame. To break free, start by reflecting on your mistake and its consequences. Self-compassion is key. Treat yourself as you would treat a friend who made a similar mistake. Remind yourself that everyone fails and that your past actions do not define your worth.
Learn from mistakes.
Every error comes with a lesson. Identifying these lessons is crucial. Spend time analyzing what went wrong. For instance, if poor time management led to missing a deadline at work, consider strategies to improve this skill. 4 Write about the mistake and the lessons learned. This not only helps you think clearly but also creates a record of your growth.
Embrace change and move forward.
After releasing guilt and learning from errors, it’s time to embrace change. Set new, realistic goals based on your lessons learned. This could be as simple as committing to improving a specific skill within three months. 5 For example, if you want to enhance your decision-making skills, practice making small, low-risk decisions daily. This will build your confidence over time.
A.Practice mindfulness.
B.Let go of guilt and shame.
C.Everyone messes up at some point.
D.Easier said than done though, right?
E.Consider adopting supportive habits.
F.Life is a mixture of pleasure and pain.
G.Journaling can be a useful tool for this.
Passage 5
The Power of Negative Capability
(江苏常州市武进区前黄高级中学2026届高三年级模拟二)
The poet John Keats coined the term “negative capability” to describe the capacity of being “in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” 1 In an era that often equates quick answers with intelligence and decisiveness with strength, deliberately cultivating this comfort with the unresolved can be a surprising source of creativity and resilience.
In creative endeavors, this capability is the essential soil from which original work grows. It is the mental state that allows a writer to dwell with a character whose motives are still unclear, a scientist to ponder anomalous data without immediately dismissing it, or an entrepreneur to sit with the ambiguity of an untested market. 2 The pressure to resolve the tension too quickly can collapse the delicate process of discovery.
This concept also holds profound value in leadership and collaborative work. A leader possessing a high degree of negative capability can listen to conflicting, incomplete reports from their team without succumbing to the anxiety that demands an immediate, premature synthesis. 3 This creates a psychological safety that allows for the friction of diverse ideas to generate light rather than heat, reducing groupthink and surfacing more innovative solutions.
On a personal, emotional level, it builds a crucial form of maturity. Life invariably presents us with stretches that cannot be neatly solved or fully understood — the fog of grief, the anxiety of a career transition, the complexities of a strained relationship. 4 It is the ability to say, “I don’t have the answer yet, and that’s okay,” and to find a way to inhabit that uncomfortable space without being paralyzed by it.
How does one develop this muscle? It begins with small practices: observing thoughts without judgment during mindfulness, engaging with art that embraces ambiguity, or simply resisting the reflexive grab for the phone when a moment of boredom arises. 5 It is not passive surrender, but an active, disciplined patience — the strength to abide in the question until a deeper, more authentic answer gradually reveals itself.
A.It is a resistance to the premature closure of complex questions.
B.This patience allows for a richer, more nuanced picture to emerge before a decision is forced.
C.Therefore, seeking immediate clarity should always be our primary goal.
D.Negative capability provides a framework for navigating these ambiguous passages without false certainty.
E.The modern world offers few opportunities to practice such tolerance.
F.Keats contrasted this quality sharply with the relentless pursuit of logical answers.
G.The goal is to become more comfortable with the process of not knowing.
Passage 6
(2026届江苏省镇江市镇江市实验高级中学、茅以升中学等高三上学期第二次模拟预测英语试题)
It is not always easy to keep a conversation going in English. You might not be sure about what to say. Or maybe you are afraid that your pronunciation is not good. So how can we continue a conversation in English? 1
Listen and follow up
First, remember the importance of listening. Listen to the other person attentively, so that you can ask a follow-up question. For example, let’s say the other person tells you, “I just got back from a trip to Canada.” 1 Where did you go in Canada? What was your favorite place there?
How was the food there?
Avold simple “yes” or “no” questions
If you want to keep a conversation going, it’s a good idea to ask questions that cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”. If the other person asks you a “yes” or “no” question, try to give a longer answer to help keep the conversation going.
For example, a friend might ask, “Hey, have you seen the new Star Wars movie?” You could just answer, “No, I haven’t.” 1 You could answer: “No, but I plan to see it soon. How about you?”
2
Do not worry about your pronunciation. If your pronunciation is a little different, the other person will still understand your message if you try speaking slowly and clearly. When you are traveling in an English-speaking country and have some free time, be brave and speak in English with someone who does not look too busy. 3
A.Or, you could say more.
B.Be brave and practice often.
C.You can try the following ways.
D.Why did you choose the destination?
E.Then you may make a new friend.
F.Correct your pronunciation if possible.
G.You can continue with a question using where, what, why, or how.
Passage 1
(2026·江苏苏北七市·二模)
Language barriers. Culture shock. Homesickness. These are the things you might worry about before departing to study abroad. 1
After a busy year abroad — constantly meeting new people, having new experiences and gaining independence, coming home can feel like an anti-climax (落差很大). Like many other exchange students I found myself living with my parents again after a year abroad. 2 At first, I indulged in everything I had always loved about being home: days spent lounging with cups of tea and books, tranquil walks and home-cooked dinners. But once the jetlag subsided (倒过时差), I found myself strangely lacking energy and motivation.
Why was I feeling so disconnected? I realized that I had done two things while I was away: I had idealized home in my mind, and I’d expected everything to remain exactly the same while I was gone. But as I immersed myself in a new culture, I quickly adapted to a different way of life. 3 Some friendships had become distant while others had become closer together. On top of that, I felt as if I’d changed too.
4 . My friend, who studied in France, experienced something similar. She says she found herself asking: “How do I fit back into the life I had before when I feel so different?” So it’s hardly surprising that once it’s over, many exchange students feel at a loose end. It seems odd to me that no one at university warns you about this beforehand.
Getting a part-time job eventually helped ease my own sense of dissociation, as it gave me the structure I needed. 5 Readjusting at home has been harder than life abroad. But as I add some of the things I loved about living abroad to my home life, while realizing that there are some feelings I can’t replace, I’m starting to find a new normal.
A.It turned out I wasn’t alone.
B.It forced me to reflect on my identity.
C.Meanwhile, everyone at home changed.
D.It felt like I’d taken several steps backwards.
E.Daily routines formed as my language improved.
F.But for me, returning home proved the hardest of all.
G.Spending more time with family and friends helped too.
Passage 2
(2026·江苏苏州·二模)
Li Jianhua has been engaged in college and postgraduate entrance application guidance for over ten years. He breaks down complicated admission policies and major selection rules into easy-to-understand words for students and parents. 1 A Senior 3 student from a remote mountain area once asked nervously, “Can my score get me into a suitable college?” He comforted her patiently and worked out a detailed application plan for free.
2 He has donated 500,000 yuan to his alma mater annually for six consecutive years to set up a scholarship fund, covering tuition fees for hundreds of poor freshmen every year. At the donation ceremony, the school principal said sincerely, “Your generosity removes financial worries for students in need.”
Long-distance running has been his fixed habit to cope with heavy work pressure. No matter how late he finishes lectures or how busy his business trips are, he never gives up this hobby. Even after working till midnight in a hotel, he still finishes a 12-kilometer run. 3 He often tells friends that this habit keeps him in a good state for work.
He always advocates educational equity and practices helpful actions in daily work. 4 His colleague recalled that he once spent three full hours guiding a poor student through application steps for free. He has been combining professional work with public welfare all the time. 5
A.Cherish every warm deed around.
B.It relieves work stress effectively.
C.This offers timely help to them.
D.He sticks to his kind original aspiration.
E.He offers free guidance to needy students.
F.Professional guidance helps numerous families avoid wrong further-education choices.
G.Selfless love and persistent efforts light up thousands of poor students’ college dreams.
Passage 3
(2026·苏锡常镇·二模)
Adults should be getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity (中等强度) exercise every week, according to the Physical Activity Guidelines published recently. The guidelines advise adults to do muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity at least twice per week. 1
“Engaging in a variety of exercises is definitely beneficial,” Voos, who is head team doctor for a football team, said. “Your body needs different ranges of motion, strength and stability. 2 ”
This is especially true for children. Sports medicine experts have long encouraged kids to play multiple sports and not to specialize in one at a young age. A lot of data on the topic shows children who specialize in a sport when young have an increased risk of injury. 3 They are less bored with exercise and enjoy greater sports achievements when they are older.
4 Voos said football players at training camp might do a lot of conditioning one day, then work on flexibility and balance the next, then move onto strength training, all of which is intermixed with playing football. “So even at the highest levels, our athletes are exposing their bodies to different motions,” Voos said.
Another plus to shaking things up with your exercise routine, especially if you prefer one activity, is that it helps prevent the plateau (高原) effect. 5 That’s because your body has become very efficient at the movements. To overcome such pauses, you need to change your movement routine and stimulate your body in different ways.
While changing up your exercise is important for many reasons, experts don’t have specific recommendations for how many different exercises you need to do each week or month to achieve the most benefit. But it’s important to work all of your muscle groups each week, if possible, to strengthen them all.
A.However, the children who don’t specialize tend to be healthier.
B.This is a period of time when progress in your favored sport stops.
C.They also note that varying your exercises can prevent overuse injuries.
D.But adults and even professional athletes need to vary their routines, too.
E.Cross-training lets your body see all of those different movements each week.
F.So they say even simple exercises done at work or home are beneficial, too.
G.Those who have the largest amount in their physical activity live the longest.
Passage 4
(江苏常州市武进区前黄中学2026届高三下学期二模)
Professional organizer Breaks Down Her Unusual Job
In 2014, Kayleen Kelly took her professional organizing business full-time. She thought she was starting a business that would consist mostly of making messy homes into “beautiful homes” and taking before and after photos. 1
You often think primarily of the type of professional organizer who focuses directly on arranging a beautiful and pleasing space—even one that looks good on Instagram. However, many people who seek out Kelly’s service are struggling with mental health issues, injuries, illness, or are experiencing the death of a loved one. 2 They might not have the mental energy for the projects.
In 2020, Kelly took her experience online in order to help people globally. Her content breaks down her tips and tricks for viewers looking to tidy up their lives. 3 Kelly does all the physical labor of collecting garbage, sorting other items accordingly, cutting out unwanted items and finally, containing what is left (the four steps of the Declutter Core Method) for her clients herself. 4 That is to make the decisions of what to cut and what to clear out.
While Kelly’s job is demanding, what keeps her going is the emotional shift she sees in clients. “When I meet these people, they are saying, ‘Come rescue me, I’m dying,’” she says. “ 5 You can’t beat that. That’s what keeps me coming back.”
A.Kelly has a large following on social media.
B.I see the look on their face at the end of the session.
C.These include what she names “Declutter Core” method.
D.But she soon realized her job was more about the people.
E.There is a lot of shame and prejudice around having messes.
F.They are willing to tidy up but might not know where to start.
G.So they can save mental energy for the toughest part of the job.
Passage 5
(2026届江苏南京市江宁区天印高级中学下学期高三第二次仿真模拟)
We all know that eating too much sugar isn’t good for us, as its consumption is linked to health dangers like obesity, heart disease, and cancer. Reducing sugar intake not only helps you avoid the harm of overconsumption. 1
The first thing to understand is that not all sugar is bad for you because there’s a big difference between natural sugars and added sugars. 2 They provide energy and sweetness, urging us to eat food rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients that offset the sugar. For instance, a medium mango has over 20g of natural sugar but plenty of fiber for absorption.
3 Added during processing, cooking or at the table, they’re listed as “added sugars” on labels, with over 200 names like “honey” or “corn syrup”. What’s worse, added sugars offer no meaningful nutrients — they’re “empty calories”. 4 Too much intake raises risks of immune system disorders, high blood pressure and over a dozen cancers. A 2023 study links 35% more added sugar to 65% higher risk of heart disease and a 10% higher risk of stroke. They also feed harmful gut bacteria, causing inflammation and mental health issues.
Cutting added sugars boosts quality of life. It lowers depression risk, enhances focus before tests, reduces acne for better skin, and calms the brain for better sleep. 5 You benefit from permanent reduction, but even temporary cuts work — 8 weeks of a low-sugar diet improves teens’ liver health, and type 2 diabetes also drops rapidly.
A.Many struggle to cut sugar due to strong desires.
B.Added sugars, however, are a wholly different story.
C.Importantly, the benefits can appear in a very short time.
D.Processed foods often hide huge amounts of added sugars.
E.Moreover, it brings surprising benefits you will enjoy soon.
F.Their true danger lies in the harm they do to bodily systems.
G.Natural sugars in bread, fruit and milk are naturally existing.
Passage 6
(2026届江苏徐州市第三中学高三第二次调研测试英语试题)
Gardening season is in full bloom, but keeping track of which seedling (幼苗) is which can be really tricky. Enter DIY oven-bake clay garden markers — these little lifesavers aren’t just practical; they also add a special charm to your greenery.
To kick off your garden marker project, you’ll need to get hands-on with some oven-bake clay. Start by kneading (揉捏) a piece of clay in your hands for a few minutes — think of it as a mini workout for your fingers. 1 Then, place it on the baking sheet and roll it out evenly to about 1/4 inch thick.
2 You might go for a classic straight marker with a pointed end to stick directly into the soil, or perhaps you’re feeling a bit more adventurous and want to create a round or heart shape with a hole to hang from a metal post.
Then give your garden markers some personality! Grab your favorite rubber stamps and press them firmly into the clay to make an impression. You can stamp the names of your plants, like “basil” or “tomatoes”, to keep things organized. 3
Now that your garden markers are looking great, it’s time to set them in stone. Follow the instructions on the clay package for baking. Generally, bake the markers at a low temperature (around 275°F) for about 15 minutes per 1/4 inch of thickness. 4 Then, they’ll be ready to give your garden a stylish look!
Finally, decide on the finishing touches. 5 If you’re feeling fancy, a coat of paint can be applied for a long-lasting finish and shine. Whether you’re channeling your inner Picasso with bright colors or leaving them in their natural state to provide an earthy feel, which is equally charming, the choice is all yours.
A.Remember to keep an eye on it.
B.Allow them to cool completely afterward.
C.Add some fun and creativity to your garden.
D.This softens the clay and makes it more workable.
E.Now comes the fun part: shaping your garden markers!
F.You may smooth rough edges with sandpaper for a polished look.
G.It’s also a good idea to go wild with fun phrases like “potato wonderland”.

Finding Your Voice in Family Expectations
Growing up in a family of successful entrepreneurs, Lila had always been expected to take over the family’s import business. Every family dinner revolved around market trends and client meetings, and her love for pottery was dismissed as a “childhood hobby.” When she finally decided to pursue a career in ceramics, she felt a crushing sense of guilt for letting her parents down. 1 As life coach Mara explains, honoring your own truth doesn’t mean rejecting your family — it means building a life that feels authentic to you. Here are key steps to navigate this delicate balance.
Start by clarifying what “authenticity” means for you. 2 For Lila, the biggest source of stress was the constant pressure to attend business events she had no interest in. She resolved this by setting a clear schedule: two evenings a week for family business, and the rest dedicated to her studio. This small shift freed her from the constant feeling of being pulled in two directions.
Once you’ve defined your priorities, communicate them with kindness and consistency. 3 Lila’s parents were initially hurt that she wouldn’t be at every family gathering, but she reassured them that her love for them hadn’t changed — she just needed space to grow in her own way.
It’s also crucial to validate both your own emotions and those of your family. 4 It’s natural to feel guilty for straying from tradition, and your loved ones may grieve the future they imagined for you. Recognizing these feelings doesn’t mean you’re making the wrong choice; it means you’re human.
Above all, reject the idea that choosing yourself is selfish. Setting boundaries isn’t about turning your back on your family — it’s about protecting the part of you that makes you unique. 5 Many people have walked this path before you, and their stories can offer comfort and guidance.
A.And remember, you’re not the first to walk this path.
B.In fact, honoring your truth is an act of courage, not selfishness.
C.Pinpoint the situations that drain your energy most.
D.Change may feel uncomfortable for your family at first.
E.Sometimes delegating tasks can ease the pressure.
F.Always put your family’s expectations above your own dreams.
G.Feeling guilty doesn’t mean you’re a disappointment.
【答案】1.G 2.C 3.D 4.B 5.A
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过丽拉的故事,探讨了如何在家庭期望与个人真实追求之间找到平衡,并给出了明确自我、善意沟通、接纳情绪、拒绝自我指责等具体建议。
1.上文“When she finally decided to pursue a career in ceramics, she felt a crushing sense of guilt for letting her parents down. (当她最终决定从事陶瓷事业时,她因让父母失望而感到一种沉重的内疚感)”描述了丽拉选择自我道路后的内疚感。G选项“Feeling guilty doesn’t mean you’re a disappointment. (感到内疚并不意味着你让人失望)”承接上文,对“内疚感”进行理性解读,指出这种感受不等于事实。下文“As life coach Mara explains, honoring your own truth doesn’t mean rejecting your family — it means building a life that feels authentic to you. (正如生活教练玛拉所解释的那样,尊重自己的真实并不意味着拒绝你的家庭——而是构建一种让你感到真实的生活)”则进一步从正面阐释追求自我的意义,与G选项共同完成对“内疚感”的认知重构。故选G项。
2.上文“Start by clarifying what “authenticity” means for you. (首先要理清“真实”对你意味着什么)”提出了明确自我真实需求的第一步。C选项“Pinpoint the situations that drain your energy most. (精准找出最消耗你能量的情境)”承接上文,具体指出了“理清真实”的实操方法——识别能量消耗源。下文“For Lila, the biggest source of stress was the constant pressure to attend business events she had no interest in. She resolved this by setting a clear schedule: two evenings a week for family business, and the rest dedicated to her studio. (对丽拉来说,最大的压力源是不断被要求参加她毫无兴趣的商业活动。她通过设定明确的时间表解决了这个问题:每周两个晚上用于家族生意,其余时间留给她的工作室)”则是这一方法的具体例证,形成“方法——例证”关系。故选C项。
3.上文“Once you’ve defined your priorities, communicate them with kindness and consistency. (一旦你确定了自己的优先事项,就要以善意和一致性的方式传达它们)”提出了沟通的重要性。D选项“Change may feel uncomfortable for your family at first. (改变起初可能会让你的家人感到不适)”承接上文,预见到沟通后可能出现的家庭反应(不适)。下文“Lila’s parents were initially hurt that she wouldn’t be at every family gathering, but she reassured them that her love for them hadn’t changed — she just needed space to grow in her own way. (丽拉的父母起初因她不能参加每次家庭聚会而感到受伤,但她向他们保证,她对他们的爱没有改变——她只是需要空间以自己的方式成长)”则用丽拉的例子具体展示了这种“不适”(initially hurt)以及如何通过善意沟通化解。故选D项。
4.上文“It’s also crucial to validate both your own emotions and those of your family. (认可自己及家人的情绪也至关重要)”提出了接纳情绪的重要性。B选项“In fact, honoring your truth is an act of courage, not selfishness. (事实上,尊重自己的真实是一种勇气的行为,而非自私)”承接上文,点明在接纳情绪后应持有的核心认知——追求自我是勇气而非自私。下文“It’s natural to feel guilty for straying from tradition, and your loved ones may grieve the future they imagined for you. Recognizing these feelings doesn’t mean you’re making the wrong choice; it means you’re human. (因偏离传统而感到内疚是自然的,你的家人也可能会为他们曾为你设想的未来感到惋惜。认识到这些感受并不意味着你做出了错误的选择;而是意味着你是人)”则具体解释了需要接纳哪些情绪,并进一步强调接纳的意义,与B选项共同强化对读者自我选择的肯定。故选B项。
5.上文“Above all, reject the idea that choosing yourself is selfish. Setting boundaries isn’t about turning your back on your family — it’s about protecting the part of you that makes you unique. (最重要的是,拒绝“选择自己就是自私”的观念。设定界限不是背弃家庭——而是保护你身上使你独特的那部分)”强调了拒绝自我指责、保护独特性的重要性。A选项“And remember, you’re not the first to walk this path. (并且记住,你不是第一个走这条路的人)”承接上文,用“And”自然补充了另一个重要提醒——你并非孤例。下文“Many people have walked this path before you, and their stories can offer comfort and guidance. (许多人之前已经走过这条路,他们的故事可以提供安慰和指引)”则进一步阐述了这一提醒的价值——先行者的故事可供借鉴。故选A项。
Passage 4
(2026·江苏南通·二模)
Mistakes are an unavoidable part of life. They can range from minor errors to significant missteps that change our life’s direction. Instead of getting lost in regret, it’s crucial to learn how to heal and grow from those experiences. 1 Here are the tips you can try the next time you want to forgive yourself.
Understand the impact of past mistakes.
Past mistakes often leave emotional marks. Feelings such as guilt, shame, and regret can overshadow our lives. Recognizing how these emotions affect us is the first step to healing. It’s vital to remember that making mistakes is a normal part of being human. 2 Embracing this shared experience can help you approach it with understanding rather than harsh judgment.
3
Releasing guilt and shame is essential for healing. These negative feelings can trap you in a loop of self-blame. To break free, start by reflecting on your mistake and its consequences. Self-compassion is key. Treat yourself as you would treat a friend who made a similar mistake. Remind yourself that everyone fails and that your past actions do not define your worth.
Learn from mistakes.
Every error comes with a lesson. Identifying these lessons is crucial. Spend time analyzing what went wrong. For instance, if poor time management led to missing a deadline at work, consider strategies to improve this skill. 4 Write about the mistake and the lessons learned. This not only helps you think clearly but also creates a record of your growth.
Embrace change and move forward.
After releasing guilt and learning from errors, it’s time to embrace change. Set new, realistic goals based on your lessons learned. This could be as simple as committing to improving a specific skill within three months. 5 For example, if you want to enhance your decision-making skills, practice making small, low-risk decisions daily. This will build your confidence over time.
A.Practice mindfulness.
B.Let go of guilt and shame.
C.Everyone messes up at some point.
D.Easier said than done though, right?
E.Consider adopting supportive habits.
F.Life is a mixture of pleasure and pain.
G.Journaling can be a useful tool for this.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.B 4.G 5.E
【导语】文章介绍犯错不可避免,并给出四种自我原谅、从错误中成长的方法。
1.上文“Instead of getting lost in regret, it’s crucial to learn how to heal and grow from those experiences.(与其沉浸在后悔中,不如学会如何从这些经历中治愈和成长)”提出要从错误中自愈成长,下文“Here are the tips you can try the next time you want to forgive yourself.(以下是你下次想要原谅自己时可以尝试的技巧)”引出具体建议,空处承上启下,前后语义形成转折,说明道理易懂但实操困难。所以D项“虽说如此,但做起来却不容易,对吧?”符合语境。
2.上文“It’s vital to remember that making mistakes is a normal part of being human.(重要的是要记住,犯错是人类正常的一部分)”提及犯错很正常,空处和前文为解释顺接关系,呼应人类都会犯错的共性。所以C项“每个人在人生某个阶段都会犯错”符合语境,C选项中“Everyone messes up”与上文“making mistakes”语义呼应,进一步解释前文观点。
3.下文“Releasing guilt and shame is essential for healing. These negative feelings can trap you in a loop of self-blame. To break free, start by reflecting on your mistake and its consequences. Self-compassion is key. Treat yourself as you would treat a friend who made a similar mistake. Remind yourself that everyone fails and that your past actions do not define your worth. (释放内疚和羞耻感对于治愈至关重要。这些负面情绪会让你陷入自责的循环。要想挣脱束缚,首先要反思你的错误及其后果。自我同情是关键。像对待犯过类似错误的朋友一样对待自己。提醒自己,每个人都会失败,你过去的行为并不能定义你的价值)”说明整段讲述放下内疚和羞愧、停止自我指责。空处统领本段主旨,概括段落核心内容。所以B项“放下内疚与羞愧”契合段落主题。
4.上文“For instance, if poor time management led to missing a deadline at work, consider strategies to improve this skill.(例如,如果时间管理不善导致错过工作截止日期,考虑采取策略来提高这项技能)”说明可以通过写日记来分析错误,空处和前文为递进关系,引出记录反思的方式。所以G项“写日记对此是个有用的方式”符合语境,进一步说明写日记的作用。
5.上文“This could be as simple as committing to improving a specific skill within three months.(这可能很简单,比如在三个月内致力于提高一项特定技能)”说明要设定目标并致力于提高技能,下文“For example, if you want to enhance your decision-making skills, practice making small, low-risk decisions daily. This will build your confidence over time.(例如,如果你想提高你的决策能力,每天练习做出小而低风险的决定。随着时间的推移,这将建立你的信心)”举例通过日常小决定培养能力、建立自信。空处顺接前文,和后文为总述与举例关系,引出具体行动方式,所以E项“考虑养成有益的习惯。”符合语境。
Passage 5
The Power of Negative Capability
(江苏常州市武进区前黄高级中学2026届高三年级模拟二)
The poet John Keats coined the term “negative capability” to describe the capacity of being “in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” 1 In an era that often equates quick answers with intelligence and decisiveness with strength, deliberately cultivating this comfort with the unresolved can be a surprising source of creativity and resilience.
In creative endeavors, this capability is the essential soil from which original work grows. It is the mental state that allows a writer to dwell with a character whose motives are still unclear, a scientist to ponder anomalous data without immediately dismissing it, or an entrepreneur to sit with the ambiguity of an untested market. 2 The pressure to resolve the tension too quickly can collapse the delicate process of discovery.
This concept also holds profound value in leadership and collaborative work. A leader possessing a high degree of negative capability can listen to conflicting, incomplete reports from their team without succumbing to the anxiety that demands an immediate, premature synthesis. 3 This creates a psychological safety that allows for the friction of diverse ideas to generate light rather than heat, reducing groupthink and surfacing more innovative solutions.
On a personal, emotional level, it builds a crucial form of maturity. Life invariably presents us with stretches that cannot be neatly solved or fully understood — the fog of grief, the anxiety of a career transition, the complexities of a strained relationship. 4 It is the ability to say, “I don’t have the answer yet, and that’s okay,” and to find a way to inhabit that uncomfortable space without being paralyzed by it.
How does one develop this muscle? It begins with small practices: observing thoughts without judgment during mindfulness, engaging with art that embraces ambiguity, or simply resisting the reflexive grab for the phone when a moment of boredom arises. 5 It is not passive surrender, but an active, disciplined patience — the strength to abide in the question until a deeper, more authentic answer gradually reveals itself.
A.It is a resistance to the premature closure of complex questions.
B.This patience allows for a richer, more nuanced picture to emerge before a decision is forced.
C.Therefore, seeking immediate clarity should always be our primary goal.
D.Negative capability provides a framework for navigating these ambiguous passages without false certainty.
E.The modern world offers few opportunities to practice such tolerance.
F.Keats contrasted this quality sharply with the relentless pursuit of logical answers.
G.The goal is to become more comfortable with the process of not knowing.
【答案】1.F 2.A 3.B 4.D 5.G
【来源】
【导语】本文介绍济慈提出的消极感受力,阐述其多重价值并说明培养方法,倡导人们坦然接纳未知、摒弃急于求成的心态。
【详解】1.上文“The poet John Keats coined the term “negative capability” to describe the capacity of being “in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.”(诗人约翰·济慈(John Keats)创造了“消极感受力”(negative capability)一词,用来描述“处于不确定、神秘、怀疑之中,而不急于追求事实和理性”的能力。)”介绍了诗人济慈所创造的词“消极能力”及其定义;下文“In an era that often equates quick answers with intelligence and decisiveness with strength, deliberately cultivating this comfort with the unresolved can be a surprising source of creativity and resilience.(在一个经常把快速回答等同于智慧、果断等同于力量的时代,刻意培养这种对未解决问题的舒适感,可能是创造力和韧性的惊人源泉。)”讲当下时代推崇速成答案与果断心态;F选项“Keats contrasted this quality sharply with the relentless pursuit of logical answers.(济慈将这种品质与对逻辑答案的不懈追求进行了鲜明的对比。)”承接上文,指出济慈将“消极感受力”这种特质与对逻辑答案的无止境追求做对比,完美引出下文“现代社会追捧快速答案”的内容,衔接自然。
1.上文“In creative endeavors, this capability is the essential soil from which original work grows.(在创造性的努力中,这种能力是原创作品生长的必要土壤。)”说明消极感受力是创作的根基,并举例说明消极感受力允许不同领域的创作者包容事物的模糊、面对不确定性;下文“The pressure to resolve the tension too quickly can collapse the delicate process of discovery.(过快解决紧张局势的压力可能会破坏微妙的发现过程。)”提到急于化解未知会打断探索过程,A选项“It is a resistance to the premature closure of complex questions.(它是对复杂问题过早结束的一种抵制。)”承接上文,点明消极感受力这种能力的核心内涵。“resistance to the premature closure”与下文“resolve the tension too quickly”相对应。
2.上文“A leader possessing a high degree of negative capability can listen to conflicting, incomplete reports from their team without succumbing to the anxiety that demands an immediate, premature synthesis. (拥有高度消极能力的领导者可以倾听来自团队的相互矛盾、不完整的报告,而不会屈服于需要立即、过早综合的焦虑。)”提到拥有消极感受力的领导不会急于整合信息、过早下结论;下文“This creates a psychological safety that allows for the friction of diverse ideas to generate light rather than heat, reducing groupthink and surfacing more innovative solutions.(这创造了一种心理安全感,允许不同想法的摩擦产生光而不是热,减少群体思维并呈现更多创新的解决方案。)”说这种做法会带来心理安全、更好的创新方案,B选项“This patience allows for a richer, more nuanced picture to emerge before a decision is forced.(这种耐心可以让你在被迫做出决定之前看到更丰富、更细致的画面。)”承接上文,阐述暂缓决断带来的益处,引出后文“带来心理安全、催生创新方案”的结果。选项中“This patience”指代上文“冷静听取矛盾信息,不急于仓促总结定论”的特质。
3.上文“Life invariably presents us with stretches that cannot be neatly solved or fully understood — the fog of grief, the anxiety of a career transition, the complexities of a strained relationship.(生活总是呈现给我们一些无法轻易解决或完全理解的时期——悲伤的迷雾,职业转变的焦虑,紧张关系的复杂性。)”提到生活中总会出现很多无法理清、解决的不确定处境;D选项“Negative capability provides a framework for navigating these ambiguous passages without false certainty.(消极感受力为我们从容度过这些迷茫阶段、摒弃盲目笃定提供了思路)”衔接上文人生困境,点明消极感受力的情绪价值,引出下文“It is the ability to say, “I don’t have the answer yet, and that’s okay,” and to find a way to inhabit that uncomfortable space without being paralyzed by it.(它是一种说,“我还没有答案,没关系”的能力,并找到一种方法来适应那个不舒服的空间,而不被它麻痹。)”对该能力的解释,衔接自然;选项中的“these ambiguous passages”指代上文提到的各类不确定人生阶段。
4.上文“It begins with small practices: observing thoughts without judgment during mindfulness, engaging with art that embraces ambiguity, or simply resisting the reflexive grab for the phone when a moment of boredom arises.(它始于一些小的练习:在正念期间不加评判地观察思想,参与包含模糊性的艺术,或者只是在无聊的时候抵制条件反射性地抓起手机。)”介绍了培养消极感受力的日常小方法;下文“It is not passive surrender, but an active, disciplined patience-the strength to abide in the question until a deeper, more authentic answer gradually reveals itself.(这不是被动的投降,而是一种主动的、有纪律的耐心——一种坚持问题的力量,直到一个更深刻、更真实的答案逐渐显露出来。)”点明消极感受力的本质:不是被动妥协,而是主动克制的耐心,G选项“The goal is to become more comfortable with the process of not knowing.(我们的目标是让自己更适应不知道的过程。)”承接上文的练习方式,引出后文深层内涵,符合行文逻辑。
Passage 6
(2026届江苏省镇江市镇江市实验高级中学、茅以升中学等高三上学期第二次模拟预测英语试题)
It is not always easy to keep a conversation going in English. You might not be sure about what to say. Or maybe you are afraid that your pronunciation is not good. So how can we continue a conversation in English? 1
Listen and follow up
First, remember the importance of listening. Listen to the other person attentively, so that you can ask a follow-up question. For example, let’s say the other person tells you, “I just got back from a trip to Canada.” 1 Where did you go in Canada? What was your favorite place there?
How was the food there?
Avold simple “yes” or “no” questions
If you want to keep a conversation going, it’s a good idea to ask questions that cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no”. If the other person asks you a “yes” or “no” question, try to give a longer answer to help keep the conversation going.
For example, a friend might ask, “Hey, have you seen the new Star Wars movie?” You could just answer, “No, I haven’t.” 1 You could answer: “No, but I plan to see it soon. How about you?”
2
Do not worry about your pronunciation. If your pronunciation is a little different, the other person will still understand your message if you try speaking slowly and clearly. When you are traveling in an English-speaking country and have some free time, be brave and speak in English with someone who does not look too busy. 3
A.Or, you could say more.
B.Be brave and practice often.
C.You can try the following ways.
D.Why did you choose the destination?
E.Then you may make a new friend.
F.Correct your pronunciation if possible.
G.You can continue with a question using where, what, why, or how.
【答案】1.C 2.G 3.A 4.B 5.E
【来源】2026届江苏省镇江市镇江市实验高级中学、茅以升中学等高三上学期第二次模拟预测英语试题
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何维持一段英语对话。
1.上文“So how can we continue a conversation in English?(所以我们如何维持一段英语对话呢?)”提出一个问题:如何维持一段英语对话?下文是具体的方法,故C项“你可以尝试以下方法”承上启下,故选C项。
2.根据上文“Listen to the other person attentively, so that you can ask a follow-up question.(仔细倾听对方,这样你就可以问一个后续的问题)”可知,要认真听别人说什么以便提出后续的问题,空前“For example, let’s say the other person tells you, “I just got back from a trip to Canada.”(例如,假设别人跟你说,“我刚从加拿大旅行归来。”)”讲述别人提出一个话题,所以空处应是针对别人的话题提出相关问题,G项“你可以使用以哪里、什么、为什么或是如何的问题来继续。”符合语境,与后文的两个问题“Where did you go in Canada? What was your favorite place there?(你去加拿大哪里?你最喜欢哪个地方?)”相呼应。故选G项。
3.根据上文“You could just answer, “No, I haven’t.”(你可以直接回答:“不,我没有。”)”可知,针对别人提出的问题可以直接回答“是”或“不”,结合后文“You could answer: “No, but I plan to see it soon. How about you?”(你可以回答:“没有,但是我打算尽快去看。你呢?”)”可知,此处是提供另一种回答,比起回答“是”或“不”多说一点,故A项“或者,你可以多说点”引起下文。故选A项。
4.空处是段落主题句,根据本段中“Do not worry about your pronunciation.(不要担心你的发音)”及“be brave and speak in English with someone who does not look too busy(勇敢些,和那些看起来不太忙的人用英语交谈)”可知,本段建议要勇敢说出来,多练习。故B项“勇敢一些,多加练习”符合语境。故选B项。
5.根据上文“When you are traveling in an English-speaking country and have some free time, be brave and speak in English with someone who does not look too busy.(当你在讲英语的国家旅行时,有空就勇敢地跟那些看不上不太忙的人士对话)”可知,在说英语的国家旅行时,可以找陌生人对话,E项“然后你可能会交到一个新朋友”承接上文,讲述上文做法可能的结果。故选E项。
Passage 1
(2026·江苏苏北七市·二模)
Language barriers. Culture shock. Homesickness. These are the things you might worry about before departing to study abroad. 1
After a busy year abroad — constantly meeting new people, having new experiences and gaining independence, coming home can feel like an anti-climax (落差很大). Like many other exchange students I found myself living with my parents again after a year abroad. 2 At first, I indulged in everything I had always loved about being home: days spent lounging with cups of tea and books, tranquil walks and home-cooked dinners. But once the jetlag subsided (倒过时差), I found myself strangely lacking energy and motivation.
Why was I feeling so disconnected? I realized that I had done two things while I was away: I had idealized home in my mind, and I’d expected everything to remain exactly the same while I was gone. But as I immersed myself in a new culture, I quickly adapted to a different way of life. 3 Some friendships had become distant while others had become closer together. On top of that, I felt as if I’d changed too.
4 . My friend, who studied in France, experienced something similar. She says she found herself asking: “How do I fit back into the life I had before when I feel so different?” So it’s hardly surprising that once it’s over, many exchange students feel at a loose end. It seems odd to me that no one at university warns you about this beforehand.
Getting a part-time job eventually helped ease my own sense of dissociation, as it gave me the structure I needed. 5 Readjusting at home has been harder than life abroad. But as I add some of the things I loved about living abroad to my home life, while realizing that there are some feelings I can’t replace, I’m starting to find a new normal.
A.It turned out I wasn’t alone.
B.It forced me to reflect on my identity.
C.Meanwhile, everyone at home changed.
D.It felt like I’d taken several steps backwards.
E.Daily routines formed as my language improved.
F.But for me, returning home proved the hardest of all.
G.Spending more time with family and friends helped too.

Passage 2
(2026·江苏苏州·二模)
Li Jianhua has been engaged in college and postgraduate entrance application guidance for over ten years. He breaks down complicated admission policies and major selection rules into easy-to-understand words for students and parents. 1 A Senior 3 student from a remote mountain area once asked nervously, “Can my score get me into a suitable college?” He comforted her patiently and worked out a detailed application plan for free.

Passage 3
(2026·苏锡常镇·二模)
Adults should be getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity (中等强度) exercise every week, according to the Physical Activity Guidelines published recently. The guidelines advise adults to do muscle-strengthening activities of moderate or greater intensity at least twice per week. 1
“Engaging in a variety of exercises is definitely beneficial,” Voos, who is head team doctor for a football team, said. “Your body needs different ranges of motion, strength and stability. 2 ”
This is especially true for children. Sports medicine experts have long encouraged kids to play multiple sports and not to specialize in one at a young age. A lot of data on the topic shows children who specialize in a sport when young have an increased risk of injury. 3 They are less bored with exercise and enjoy greater sports achievements when they are older.
4 Voos said football players at training camp might do a lot of conditioning one day, then work on flexibility and balance the next, then move onto strength training, all of which is intermixed with playing football. “So even at the highest levels, our athletes are exposing their bodies to different motions,” Voos said.
Another plus to shaking things up with your exercise routine, especially if you prefer one activity, is that it helps prevent the plateau (高原) effect. 5 That’s because your body has become very efficient at the movements. To overcome such pauses, you need to change your movement routine and stimulate your body in different ways.
While changing up your exercise is important for many reasons, experts don’t have specific recommendations for how many different exercises you need to do each week or month to achieve the most benefit. But it’s important to work all of your muscle groups each week, if possible, to strengthen them all.
A.However, the children who don’t specialize tend to be healthier.
B.This is a period of time when progress in your favored sport stops.
C.They also note that varying your exercises can prevent overuse injuries.
D.But adults and even professional athletes need to vary their routines, too.
E.Cross-training lets your body see all of those different movements each week.
F.So they say even simple exercises done at work or home are beneficial, too.
G.Those who have the largest amount in their physical activity live the longest.
【答案】1.C 2.E 3.A 4.D 5.B

5.由上文“Another plus to shaking things up with your exercise routine, especially if you prefer one activity, is that it helps prevent the plateau (高原) effect.

Passage 4
(江苏常州市武进区前黄中学2026届高三下学期二模)
Professional organizer Breaks Down Her Unusual Job
In 2014, Kayleen Kelly took her professional organizing business full-time. She thought she was starting a business that would consist mostly of making messy homes into “beautiful homes” and taking before and after photos. 1
You often think primarily of the type of professional organizer who focuses directly on arranging a beautiful and pleasing space—even one that looks good on Instagram. However, many people who seek out Kelly’s service are struggling with mental health issues, injuries, illness, or are experiencing the death of a loved one. 2 They might not have the mental energy for the projects.
In 2020, Kelly took her experience online in order to help people globally. Her content breaks down her tips and tricks for viewers looking to tidy up their lives. 3 Kelly does all the physical labor of collecting garbage, sorting other items accordingly, cutting out unwanted items and finally, containing what is left (the four steps of the Declutter Core Method) for her clients herself. 4 That is to make the decisions of what to cut and what to clear out.
While Kelly’s job is demanding, what keeps her going is the emotional shift she sees in clients. “When I meet these people, they are saying, ‘Come rescue me, I’m dying,’” she says. “ 5 You can’t beat that. That’s what keeps me coming back.”
A.Kelly has a large following on social media.
B.I see the look on their face at the end of the session.
C.These include what she names “Declutter Core” method.
D.But she soon realized her job was more about the people.
E.There is a lot of shame and prejudice around having messes.
F.They are willing to tidy up but might not know where to start.
G.So they can save mental energy for the toughest part of the job.
【答案】1.D 2.F 3.C 4.G 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲的是专业整理师Kayleen Kelly与众不同的工作经历与感悟。
1.前文提到“She thought she was starting a business that would consist mostly of making messy homes into “beautiful homes” and taking before and after photos.(2014 年,凯琳·凯利(Kayleen Kelly)将她的专业整理业务转为全职经营。她原以为自己开启的这项事业,主要就是将杂乱无章的家打造成“温馨美宅”,然后拍摄整理前后的对比照片。)”,说明她原本以为自己的工作主要是把杂乱的房子变成漂亮的房子并拍照。而后文又指出“However, many people who seek out Kelly’s service are struggling with mental health issues, injuries, illness, or are experiencing the death of a loved one.(然而,许多寻求凯利服务的人都正遭受着心理健康问题、伤痛、疾病的困扰,或是正经历着亲人离世的悲痛。)”,即很多寻求她服务的人有各种心理或生活上的问题。前后形成转折关系,所以这里用D选项“But she soon realized her job was more about the people.(但她很快意识到,她的工作更多的是与别人打交道。)”来转折,表明她很快意识到自己的工作更多的是关于帮助他人,符合语境。故选D。
2.此空前面“However, many people who seek out Kelly’s service are struggling with mental health issues, injuries, illness, or are experiencing the death of a loved one.(然而,许多寻求凯利服务的人都正遭受着心理健康问题、伤痛、疾病的困扰,或是正经历着亲人离世的悲痛。)”描述了寻求服务的人有各种困难状况,后面“They might not have the mental energy for the projects.(他们可能没有精力去开展整理项目。)”说他们可能没有精力去做整理项目。那么中间应该是说他们有整理的意愿,只是不知道从哪里开始,F选项“They are willing to tidy up but might not know where to start.(他们愿意整理,但可能不知道从哪里开始。)”正好承接上文,说明他们有整理的想法但缺乏行动的切入点,为后文没有精力做铺垫,逻辑连贯。故选F。
3.前文“Her content breaks down her tips and tricks for viewers looking to tidy up their lives.(她的内容为那些想要整理生活的人详细讲解了各种小窍门。)”说明她的内容为想要整理生活的人分享了技巧。后文详细介绍了“Declutter Core Method(整理核心方法)”的四个步骤。所以这里用C选项“These include what she names “Declutter Core” method.(其中包括她所称的“核心整理”方法。)”来引出后面关于这个方法的具体内容,起到承上启下的作用。故选C。
4.前文“Kelly does all the physical labor of collecting garbage, sorting other items accordingly, cutting out unwanted items and finally, containing what is left (the four steps of the Declutter Core Method) for her clients herself.(Kelly会亲自为客户完成所有的体力劳动,包括收集垃圾、对其他物品进行分类、剔除不需要的物品,最后整理好剩下的东西(这就是“整理核心法”的四个步骤)。)”说明Kelly亲自为客户做所有的体力劳动,包括收集垃圾、分类物品等。那么空格处应该是说明她这样做的原因,G选项“So they can save mental energy for the toughest part of the job.(这样他们就可以为工作中最困难的部分节省精力。)”表示这样客户就可以节省精力去做工作中最困难的部分,即做决定该扔掉什么和清理什么,这也正是她这样做的原因,因此G选项符合逻辑。故选G。
5.前文提到客户一开始说“Come rescue me, I’m dying(快来救我,我快死了)”,表达了他们当时非常糟糕的状态。后文说“You can’t beat that. That’s what keeps me coming back.(没有什么能比得上这种感觉。这就是让我不断坚持下去的原因。)”说明没有什么能比得上这个,这就是让她坚持回来的原因。那么中间应该是描述让她坚持的原因的具体内容,B选项“I see the look on their face at the end of the session.(在服务结束时,我看到他们脸上的表情。)”表示她在服务结束时看到客户脸上的表情,这种表情带来的积极影响让她坚持这份工作,符合语境。故选B。
Passage 5
(2026届江苏南京市江宁区天印高级中学下学期高三第二次仿真模拟)
We all know that eating too much sugar isn’t good for us, as its consumption is linked to health dangers like obesity, heart disease, and cancer. Reducing sugar intake not only helps you avoid the harm of overconsumption. 1
The first thing to understand is that not all sugar is bad for you because there’s a big difference between natural sugars and added sugars. 2 They provide energy and sweetness, urging us to eat food rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients that offset the sugar. For instance, a medium mango has over 20g of natural sugar but plenty of fiber for absorption.
3 Added during processing, cooking or at the table, they’re listed as “added sugars” on labels, with over 200 names like “honey” or “corn syrup”. What’s worse, added sugars offer no meaningful nutrients — they’re “empty calories”. 4 Too much intake raises risks of immune system disorders, high blood pressure and over a dozen cancers. A 2023 study links 35% more added sugar to 65% higher risk of heart disease and a 10% higher risk of stroke. They also feed harmful gut bacteria, causing inflammation and mental health issues.
Cutting added sugars boosts quality of life. It lowers depression risk, enhances focus before tests, reduces acne for better skin, and calms the brain for better sleep. 5 You benefit from permanent reduction, but even temporary cuts work — 8 weeks of a low-sugar diet improves teens’ liver health, and type 2 diabetes also drops rapidly.
A.Many struggle to cut sugar due to strong desires.
B.Added sugars, however, are a wholly different story.
C.Importantly, the benefits can appear in a very short time.
D.Processed foods often hide huge amounts of added sugars.
E.Moreover, it brings surprising benefits you will enjoy soon.
F.Their true danger lies in the harm they do to bodily systems.
G.Natural sugars in bread, fruit and milk are naturally existing.
【答案】1.E 2.G 3.B 4.F 5.C

Passage 6
(2026届江苏徐州市第三中学高三第二次调研测试英语试题)
Gardening season is in full bloom, but keeping track of which seedling (幼苗) is which can be really tricky. Enter DIY oven-bake clay garden markers — these little lifesavers aren’t just practical; they also add a special charm to your greenery.
To kick off your garden marker project, you’ll need to get hands-on with some oven-bake clay. Start by kneading (揉捏) a piece of clay in your hands for a few minutes — think of it as a mini workout for your fingers. 1 Then, place it on the baking sheet and roll it out evenly to about 1/4 inch thick.
2 You might go for a classic straight marker with a pointed end to stick directly into the soil, or perhaps you’re feeling a bit more adventurous and want to create a round or heart shape with a hole to hang from a metal post.
Then give your garden markers some personality! Grab your favorite rubber stamps and press them firmly into the clay to make an impression. You can stamp the names of your plants, like “basil” or “tomatoes”, to keep things organized. 3
Now that your garden markers are looking great, it’s time to set them in stone. Follow the instructions on the clay package for baking. Generally, bake the markers at a low temperature (around 275°F) for about 15 minutes per 1/4 inch of thickness. 4 Then, they’ll be ready to give your garden a stylish look!
Finally, decide on the finishing touches. 5 If you’re feeling fancy, a coat of paint can be applied for a long-lasting finish and shine. Whether you’re channeling your inner Picasso with bright colors or leaving them in their natural state to provide an earthy feel, which is equally charming, the choice is all yours.
A.Remember to keep an eye on it.
B.Allow them to cool completely afterward.
C.Add some fun and creativity to your garden.
D.This softens the clay and makes it more workable.
E.Now comes the fun part: shaping your garden markers!
F.You may smooth rough edges with sandpaper for a polished look.
G.It’s also a good idea to go wild with fun phrases like “potato wonderland”.
