Jeff Steele was born in Texas and grew up in Mississippi. A gifted singer, Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school. “I was going to be the next Lionel Richie,” he recalls with a smile. In time, however, Jeff began to write songs, and in the early 1980s formed a group called The Steeles. Within a decade, not only had the group signed a recording contract with Daywind Records, but Jeff became a staff writer for the label and moved his family to Nashville, Tennessee.
Throughout the 1990s, Jeff penned a string of hits for Daywind, including four No. 1 songs for The Steeles. But not only does Jeff write for his group, he also has his songs recorded by other artists that include Greater Vision, The Florida Boys, The Perrys, The Gaither Vocal Band and others. Jeff’s efforts have collected four BMI Awards for radio singles by Karen Peck & New River, The Inspirations, and Legacy Five, along with a popular song by The Steeles. That song also received a Dove Awards nomination (提名), as did “Not One Word” by The Collingsworth Family.
What has changed for Jeff regarding songwriting over the last three decades? “I used to write everything alone, but now I enjoy co-writing, especially with my son, Brad.” The Steeles’ latest StowTown Records release, Be the Reason, contains multiple songs penned by the father and son, with each having an unusual feel. Perhaps this is because Brad — at age 30 — is writing as a young man from the point of looking forward, and Jeff — at age 63 — is writing from a pen of wisdom and experience. This may also be part of the reason that their songs are connecting with all of us: because we, as listeners, can benefit from both generations.
4. Who might Lionel Richie be?
A. A writer. B. A friend of Jeff’s.
C. A well-known musician. D. A member of The Steeles.
5. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?
A. Jeff’s crucial role in his group. B. Jeff’s influence on other artists.
C. Jeff’s secret to success as a singer. D. Jeff’s extraordinary achievements.
6. What is special about Be the Reason?
A. It was completed by Brad himself. B. It contains a multi-generational feel.
C. It displays people from all walks of life. D. It received a Dove Awards nomination.
7. Which of the following can best describe Jeff?
A. Talented and devoted. B. Tough and generous.
C. Scholarly and friendly. D. Ambitious and imaginative.
C
Earthquakes are among the most mysterious and terrifying natural disasters. While we can sometimes predict major ones, others strike without warning, devastating cities and causing fires, landslides and tsunamis. With climate change leading to increased wildfires and hurricanes, could it also make earthquakes more common?
The most dangerous earthquakes are tectonic (地壳构造的) earthquakes, caused by the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates. These plates shift about 1.5 centimeters per year due to internal heat, building pressure until they suddenly move, which releases energy and causes earthquakes.
Unlike other disasters, it’s almost impossible to predict when earthquakes will happen, making planned evacuations (疏散) next to impossible.
Unfortunately, climate change could make quakes happen closer together and with more intensity, experts told Live Science. With global warming, glaciers are melting at an increased rate. When melted glacier water flows off land and into the sea, the land that used to sit underneath it rises, said John Cassidy, an earthquake seismologist at the Geological Survey of Canada and the University of Victoria.
More concerning than glacial-melt earthquakes are those that could be caused by an increase in sea level. As sea levels rise, pressure underwater on the seafloor also goes up, said Marco Bohnhoff, a geophysicist at GFZ Helmholtz Centre Potsdam and Free University Berlin in Germany. As water pressure spikes, the pressure on fault (断层) lines near the coast will also increase.
Even if we stopped using greenhouse gases now, it would take up to 1,000 years for sea level rise to stop, Bohnhoff added. He predicts that over that time, the gaps between big coastal earthquakes will become shorter.
Cassidy is uncertain if sea level rise will cause giant quakes to happen faster within our lifetimes. He emphasized that climate change will make them more dangerous. “It’s an important topic, and one that I’m sure we’ll see a lot of information coming out on in the coming months and years,” he said. “But no matter what we’ve discovered, it’s not good news.”
8. What does the article tell us about tectonic earthquakes?
A. They are easier to predict than others.
B. They happen mostly near coastal areas.
C. They result from the shifting of Earth’s plates.
D. They rarely lead to other natural disasters.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The land. B. The glacier. C. The quake. D. The sea.
10. What does Bohnhoff imply?
A. Coastal areas will be safer over time.
B. Sea level rise will eventually stabilize.
C. Human actions have long-term effects.
D. Earthquakes will become more predictable.
11. What is Cassidy’s attitude toward the future impact of climate change on earthquakes?
A. Hopeful. B. Concerned. C. Uncaring. D. Skeptical.
D
In a greenhouse in Kunming, experimental roses bloom in zhusha red and goose-yellow, colors drawn from Chinese aesthetic tradition. These are not merely flowers; they are ambassadors of a quiet revolution. As China integrates AI and biotechnology into agriculture, a new pattern emerges: one where technological innovation is integrated with cultural heritage to create products with global appeal.
For decades, China’s flower industry faced a problem. Despite being the world’s largest rose grower, it relied on foreign breeds for 85% of commercial varieties, paying royalties of up to 12% per plant. Then research teams decided technological catch-up was insufficient without cultural distinctiveness. They engineered new roses not just for longer vase life, but for forms echoing traditional Chinese painting — petal arrangements flowing like Hanfu garments.
This “Chinese soul with Chinese core” strategy now extends beyond flowers. At the 2026 Paris International Agricultural Fair, China’s exhibition wove agricultural drones (无人机) and smart irrigation systems together with tea ceremonies and woodblock prints. The message was deeper than machinery: China is not just offering products; it is offering a worldview where efficiency and tradition can coexist.
The global south is noticing. In Brazil, banana farmers who once used tractor spraying now fly Chinese-made drones. “It’s faster and more precise,” says grower Rubens de Castro, “but it also changes how we think about the land.”
Most profound is the “Science and Technology Backyard” model. Originating in Hebei in 2009, it sends researchers into villages to solve farming problems. Now global, its “1+1+1” training model — one year in China, one year practice at home, one year advanced study back in China — has trained agricultural scientists from 11 African and Latin American countries. In Malawi, maize yields have quadrupled.
What distinguishes this wave is cultural spreading. Unlike the Green Revolution’s purely technical transfers, China’s approach treats technology as values carrier. As academician Zhang Fusuo puts it, the goal is to “contribute Chinese solutions to global agricultural green transformation” — solutions where feeding the world need not come at the cost of its soul.
12. What challenge did China’s flower industry face?
A. Its roses lacked fragrance and beauty.
B. It produced fewer roses than Western countries.
C. It could not produce diverse types independently.
D. Its flowers failed to meet international standards.
13. What does the example of Brazilian farmer Rubens de Castro illustrate?
A. Farming in Brazil has become totally automated.
B. Brazilian farmers prefer traditional methods.
C. Chinese drones are cheaper than Brazilian ones.
D. China’s influence has extended abroad.
14. What can we learn about the “Science and Technology Backyard” model?
A. It trains agricultural specialists in China and their home countries
B. It allows more farmers to do experiments in the field.
C. It increases crop productions by sending researchers to the labs.
D. It establishes research laboratories in African and Latin countries.
15. Which of the following may serve as the best title for the passage?
A. From Imitation to Innovation
B. Saving Global Agriculture
C. Sowing Technology, Spreading Culture
D. Improving Technology, Ensuring Food Security

Memory can be a curious thing. Why can you so easily recall the name of the kid you sat next to in first grade but can’t remember where you left your cell phone five minutes ago? Don’t worry — there’s probably nothing wrong with your brain. It’s more likely that you’re just distracted (注意力分散的).
Our attention is limited, which means we can’t focus on everything around us. ____16____. We talked to experts and explored the science to find tips and tricks to help improve your memory.
Write it by hand
If you’re struggling to remember information you typed onto your computer or tapped out on your smartphone, there may be a reason for it. Our brains remember things better when we write them by hand. ____17____. A 2021 study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience backs this up.
Have a home for everything
If your biggest memory problem is not ever being able to find anything, there’s a simple solution to help you with this: ____18____. For example, keep the remote control (遥控器) on the table next to the couch and have a regular spot (固定的地方) for other things you often misplace, like your phone, wallet, and keys. This way, you’ll always know where to find them.
____19____
If you want to learn how to remember things better, pick up a pencil and eraser — or a puzzle app on your phone. One study found that crossword puzzles can improve thinking and memory almost as much as a related prescription medication (外方药) could. ____20____.
A. Play word games and puzzles
B. Keep your to-do lists up to date
C. We have to choose what to pay attention to
D. Make sure everything has a place, and always put it back there
E. Riddles, long or short, can also help you sharpen your brain
F. If you focus on the information that you’re trying to remember, you’re more likely to recall it later
G. One easy way to improve your memory is to make handwritten lists instead of digital ones

47. 根据下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The icy wind howled across the empty street and it was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room on December 25th. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses’ station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day, for people were supposed to be spending time with their families, exchanging gifts and wishes.
I was guiding nurse that day and had just done clean-up in the waiting room. Since there were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I returned to the nurses’ station for a cup of hot coffee that someone had brought in for Christmas. Just then, a colleague came back and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated.
I was surprised, “Five, how did I get five; I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room.”
“Well, there are five signed in.”
So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my guiding desk, a pale short woman and four small children in untidy clothing.
“Are you all sick?” I asked suspiciously.
“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.
“Okay,” I replied, unconvinced, “Who’s first?” One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual beginning questions. When it came to the descriptions of their symptoms, things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong with the picture. Our hospital policy, however, was not to turn away any patient, so we would see them. When I explained to the mother that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her because there were several more critical patients. She responded, “Take your time; it’s warm in here and there is a Christmas tree.”
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。
Then she turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family.

Jeff Steele was born in Texas and grew up in Mississippi. A gifted singer, Jeff began writing songs when he was in high school. “I was going to be the next Lionel Richie,” he recalls with a smile. In time, however, Jeff began to write songs, and in the early 1980s formed a group called The Steeles. Within a decade, not only had the group signed a recording contract with Daywind Records, but Jeff became a staff writer for the label and moved his family to Nashville, Tennessee.
Throughout the 1990s, Jeff penned a string of hits for Daywind, including four No. 1 songs for The Steeles. But not only does Jeff write for his group, he also has his songs recorded by other artists that include Greater Vision, The Florida Boys, The Perrys, The Gaither Vocal Band and others. Jeff’s efforts have collected four BMI Awards for radio singles by Karen Peck & New River, The Inspirations, and Legacy Five, along with a popular song by The Steeles. That song also received a Dove Awards nomination (提名), as did “Not One Word” by The Collingsworth Family.
What has changed for Jeff regarding songwriting over the last three decades? “I used to write everything alone, but now I enjoy co-writing, especially with my son, Brad.” The Steeles’ latest StowTown Records release, Be the Reason, contains multiple songs penned by the father and son, with each having an unusual feel. Perhaps this is because Brad — at age 30 — is writing as a young man from the point of looking forward, and Jeff — at age 63 — is writing from a pen of wisdom and experience. This may also be part of the reason that their songs are connecting with all of us: because we, as listeners, can benefit from both generations.
4. Who might Lionel Richie be?
A. A writer. B. A friend of Jeff’s.
C. A well-known musician. D. A member of The Steeles.
5. What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?
A. Jeff’s crucial role in his group. B. Jeff’s influence on other artists.
C. Jeff’s secret to success as a singer. D. Jeff’s extraordinary achievements.
6. What is special about Be the Reason?
A. It was completed by Brad himself. B. It contains a multi-generational feel.
C. It displays people from all walks of life. D. It received a Dove Awards nomination.
7. Which of the following can best describe Jeff?
A. Talented and devoted. B. Tough and generous.
C. Scholarly and friendly. D. Ambitious and imaginative.

Earthquakes are among the most mysterious and terrifying natural disasters. While we can sometimes predict major ones, others strike without warning, devastating cities and causing fires, landslides and tsunamis. With climate change leading to increased wildfires and hurricanes, could it also make earthquakes more common?
The most dangerous earthquakes are tectonic (地壳构造的) earthquakes, caused by the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates. These plates shift about 1.5 centimeters per year due to internal heat, building pressure until they suddenly move, which releases energy and causes earthquakes.
Unlike other disasters, it’s almost impossible to predict when earthquakes will happen, making planned evacuations (疏散) next to impossible.
Unfortunately, climate change could make quakes happen closer together and with more intensity, experts told Live Science. With global warming, glaciers are melting at an increased rate. When melted glacier water flows off land and into the sea, the land that used to sit underneath it rises, said John Cassidy, an earthquake seismologist at the Geological Survey of Canada and the University of Victoria.
More concerning than glacial-melt earthquakes are those that could be caused by an increase in sea level. As sea levels rise, pressure underwater on the seafloor also goes up, said Marco Bohnhoff, a geophysicist at GFZ Helmholtz Centre Potsdam and Free University Berlin in Germany. As water pressure spikes, the pressure on fault (断层) lines near the coast will also increase.
Even if we stopped using greenhouse gases now, it would take up to 1,000 years for sea level rise to stop, Bohnhoff added. He predicts that over that time, the gaps between big coastal earthquakes will become shorter.
Cassidy is uncertain if sea level rise will cause giant quakes to happen faster within our lifetimes. He emphasized that climate change will make them more dangerous. “It’s an important topic, and one that I’m sure we’ll see a lot of information coming out on in the coming months and years,” he said. “But no matter what we’ve discovered, it’s not good news.”
8. What does the article tell us about tectonic earthquakes?
A. They are easier to predict than others.
B. They happen mostly near coastal areas.
C. They result from the shifting of Earth’s plates.
D. They rarely lead to other natural disasters.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The land. B. The glacier. C. The quake. D. The sea.
10. What does Bohnhoff imply?
A. Coastal areas will be safer over time.
B. Sea level rise will eventually stabilize.
C. Human actions have long-term effects.
D. Earthquakes will become more predictable.
11. What is Cassidy’s attitude toward the future impact of climate change on earthquakes?
A. Hopeful. B. Concerned. C. Uncaring. D. Skeptical.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了气候变化可能通过冰川融化和海平面上升加剧地震活动,专家指出其影响具有长期性,并对此表示担忧。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The most dangerous earthquakes are tectonic (地壳构造的) earthquakes, caused by the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates. (最危险的地震是构造地震,由地球板块运动引发)”可知,构造地震是由地球板块运动引起的。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“With global warming, glaciers are melting at an increased rate. When melted glacier water flows off land and into the sea, the land that used to sit underneath it rises (随着全球变暖,冰川正加速融化。当冰川融水从陆地流入海洋后,曾被它覆盖的地表会随之抬升)”可知,冰川融化且流往海洋后,曾被冰川覆盖的地表会抬升,画线词指代的是前面提到的“冰川”。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“Even if we stopped using greenhouse gases now, it would take up to 1,000 years for sea level rise to stop, Bohnhoff added. (Bohnhoff补充道:“即便我们现在就停止排放温室气体,海平面上升仍将持续长达1000年才会停止”)”可知,海平面上升的持续时间将很漫长,Bohnhoff在暗示人类的行为有长期的影响。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He emphasized that climate change will make them more dangerous. “It’s an important topic, and one that I’m sure we’ll see a lot of information coming out on in the coming months and years,” he said. “But no matter what we’ve discovered, it’s not good news.” (他强调,气候变化将使地震更具破坏性。“这是个重要课题,未来数月乃至数年肯定会有大量相关研究涌现,但无论发现什么,都不会是好消息。”他表示)”可知,Cassidy强调气候变化会使地震更危险,且任何发现不会带来好消息,这体现了他担忧的态度。故选B项。
D
In a greenhouse in Kunming, experimental roses bloom in zhusha red and goose-yellow, colors drawn from Chinese aesthetic tradition. These are not merely flowers; they are ambassadors of a quiet revolution. As China integrates AI and biotechnology into agriculture, a new pattern emerges: one where technological innovation is integrated with cultural heritage to create products with global appeal.
For decades, China’s flower industry faced a problem. Despite being the world’s largest rose grower, it relied on foreign breeds for 85% of commercial varieties, paying royalties of up to 12% per plant. Then research teams decided technological catch-up was insufficient without cultural distinctiveness. They engineered new roses not just for longer vase life, but for forms echoing traditional Chinese painting — petal arrangements flowing like Hanfu garments.
This “Chinese soul with Chinese core” strategy now extends beyond flowers. At the 2026 Paris International Agricultural Fair, China’s exhibition wove agricultural drones (无人机) and smart irrigation systems together with tea ceremonies and woodblock prints. The message was deeper than machinery: China is not just offering products; it is offering a worldview where efficiency and tradition can coexist.
The global south is noticing. In Brazil, banana farmers who once used tractor spraying now fly Chinese-made drones. “It’s faster and more precise,” says grower Rubens de Castro, “but it also changes how we think about the land.”
Most profound is the “Science and Technology Backyard” model. Originating in Hebei in 2009, it sends researchers into villages to solve farming problems. Now global, its “1+1+1” training model — one year in China, one year practice at home, one year advanced study back in China — has trained agricultural scientists from 11 African and Latin American countries. In Malawi, maize yields have quadrupled.
What distinguishes this wave is cultural spreading. Unlike the Green Revolution’s purely technical transfers, China’s approach treats technology as values carrier. As academician Zhang Fusuo puts it, the goal is to “contribute Chinese solutions to global agricultural green transformation” — solutions where feeding the world need not come at the cost of its soul.
12. What challenge did China’s flower industry face?
A. Its roses lacked fragrance and beauty.
B. It produced fewer roses than Western countries.
C. It could not produce diverse types independently.
D. Its flowers failed to meet international standards.
13. What does the example of Brazilian farmer Rubens de Castro illustrate?
A. Farming in Brazil has become totally automated.
B. Brazilian farmers prefer traditional methods.
C. Chinese drones are cheaper than Brazilian ones.
D. China’s influence has extended abroad.
14. What can we learn about the “Science and Technology Backyard” model?
A. It trains agricultural specialists in China and their home countries
B. It allows more farmers to do experiments in the field.
C. It increases crop productions by sending researchers to the labs.
D. It establishes research laboratories in African and Latin countries.
15. Which of the following may serve as the best title for the passage?
A. From Imitation to Innovation
B. Saving Global Agriculture
C. Sowing Technology, Spreading Culture
D. Improving Technology, Ensuring Food Security
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍中国将人工智能和生物技术融入农业,在花卉等产业中实现技术创新与文化传承结合,不仅提升自身产业水平,还将技术和文化影响力扩展到国外,通过 “科技小院” 等模式助力全球农业发展。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For decades, China's flower industry faced a problem. Despite being the world’s largest rose grower, it relied on foreign breeds for 85% of commercial varieties, paying royalties of up to 12% per plant.(几十年来,中国花卉产业面临一个问题。尽管是世界上最大的玫瑰种植国,但85% 的商业品种依赖外国品种,每株需支付高达12% 的版税)”可知,中国花卉产业不能独立生产多样化的品种。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The global south is noticing. In Brazil, banana farmers who once used tractor spraying now fly Chinese-made drones. “It’s faster and more precise,” says grower Rubens de Castro, “but it also changes how we think about the land.”(全球南方国家正在关注。在巴西,曾经使用拖拉机喷洒农药的香蕉种植户现在使用中国制造的无人机。种植户鲁本斯·德·卡斯特罗说:“它更快、更精确,但它也改变了我们对土地的看法”)”可知,巴西农民使用中国无人机的例子说明中国的影响力已经扩展到国外。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Now global, its “1+1+1” training model — one year in China, one year practice at home, one year advanced study back in China — has trained agricultural scientists from 11 African and Latin American countries.(现在该模式已走向全球,其“1+1+1”培训模式——在中国学习一年,在本国实践一年,再回到中国深造一年——已经培训了来自11个非洲和拉丁美洲国家的农业科学家)”可知,“科技小院”模式在中国及其本国培训农业专家。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述中国在农业领域播种技术,通过将技术与文化结合,如花卉产业创新、农业技术推广到国外以及“科技小院”模式等,同时传播文化,所以C选项“播种技术,传播文化”最适合作为文章标题。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 根据下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The icy wind howled across the empty street and it was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room on December 25th. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses’ station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day, for people were supposed to be spending time with their families, exchanging gifts and wishes.
I was guiding nurse that day and had just done clean-up in the waiting room. Since there were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I returned to the nurses’ station for a cup of hot coffee that someone had brought in for Christmas. Just then, a colleague came back and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated.
I was surprised, “Five, how did I get five; I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room.”
“Well, there are five signed in.”
So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my guiding desk, a pale short woman and four small children in untidy clothing.
“Are you all sick?” I asked suspiciously.
“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.
“Okay,” I replied, unconvinced, “Who’s first?” One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual beginning questions. When it came to the descriptions of their symptoms, things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong with the picture. Our hospital policy, however, was not to turn away any patient, so we would see them. When I explained to the mother that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her because there were several more critical patients. She responded, “Take your time; it’s warm in here and there is a Christmas tree.”
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。
Then she turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then she turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room. Though warm, it was uncomfortable for children, who nestled closely by the Christmas tree. The youngest kid was staring at gifts on the tree, exclaiming something to her mother. Unfortunately, she was met with refusal, which failed her to hold back tears. Guilty and upset, great sorrow clouded the mother. The rest froze, with eyes falling on their little sister. Realizing they were homeless, I went back and told my colleagues what had happened.
My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family. Soon we were busy preparing presents for our unexpected guests, who just wanted to stay warm on Christmas Day. With gifts in hand, the kids were wild with joy. A flush of happiness filled the waiting room and we were able to locate a shelter that would take the family in. As they were leaving, the mother hugged each us and whispered, “You’re our angels and it’s your love warms us up! As they disappeared into the far distance gradually, a strong sense of satisfaction poured into my mind. While I didn’t celebrate the festival with my loved ones, I extended warmth to the homeless family. Sometimes, only a little kindness can light something shining, making the world more beautiful and harmonious.
