Passage 1(2025~2026学年佛山市高三一模英语)
C
On a typical sunny day at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), small native bushes (灌木) wave where tidy grasslands used to be, bees fly over flowers, and students walk on a campus alive with biodiversity.
The new scenery marks a major milestone in campus sustainability. In 2025, UCLA became the first university in California to earn the Green Grounds Certification from the nonprofit Re:wild Your Campus, which recognizes the school's efforts to improve human health and biodiversity.
For years, colleges have used rewilding as a way to restore biodiversity and bring a more natural look to their grounds with native plants. But too often, they miss a critical piece of the puzzle: the chemicals being used elsewhere on campus. While wildflowers bring buzzing bees, true ecological restoration is weakened if pesticides (农药) and fertilizers are used.
This is why Re:wild Your Campus created the Green Grounds Certification - to center both chemical elimination and rewilding and to link them together. Schools that are taking such a holistic approach to campus management can be honored and uplifted.
Adopting a holistic approach to land care does more than just create healthier campus environments; it reinforces the reality that colleges are interconnected microcosms (缩影) of larger environmental systems. In many cities, universities offer some of the largest areas of open space, yet the chemicals applied to grasslands can impact nearby rivers, lakes, and drinking water. Students and all the teaching staff are increasingly recognizing this, leading to more advocacy for introducing native species and stopping using harmful pesticides.
Beyond environmental health, a rewilding approach can help safeguard human health. Students are closely connected to the outdoor settings of their colleges where pesticides can stay in the air, settle on picnic tables, and be tracked into dorm rooms. Through a holistic approach, institutions can ensure that the grounds students walk on daily are free from poisonous substances, for the health of all.
And that's exactly what some schools like UCLA are doing. Their leadership shows that sustainability means finding new ways to care for the land responsibly - for people and for the planet.

Passage 2(2025~2026学年佛山市高三二模英语)
C
Imagine scrolling (滚屏) through social media late at night and suddenly seeing photos of your friends having fun without you. You may begin to wonder why you were not invited or what you did wrong. Soon, feelings of sadness or disappointment appear. This experience is commonly known as FOMO, or the fear of missing out. It is the anxiety and unease about how others might be having more rewarding experiences than you are.
FOMO can be a passing thought that enters your mind after seeing something you wish you were a part of - a video of a concert, for example, or a picture of a graduation party. Or it can appear as an urge to check your phone for messages and updates. You might sit alone, feeling envious about how much fun others are having as you scroll through your feed, only to later realize how much time has passed you by.
This fear can affect your behavior by creating a cycle of unhealthy habits that worsen your emotional wellbeing. Maybe you end up agreeing to every invitation that comes your way out of fear that you'll miss out on some magical moments, thus overcommitting yourself to events and feeling exhausted. If you're constantly checking your phone, you'll have a harder time focusing on tasks in front of you and may end up making more mistakes. Also, being glued to your phone late at night can make it harder to fall asleep and harm your physical and mental well-being.
If it feels like FOMO and social media have taken over your life, know that there are ways to regain control. It starts with developing a better understanding of yourself, including your feelings, motives, and values. Then, you can cut down on worry by developing mindfulness, managing anxiety, and limiting your social media usage. Besides, building self-respect and establishing genuine relationships will allow you to better appreciate your own experiences.
While you experience FOMO, the things you're "missing out on" might be right in front of you. You can pull yourself back to the present moment, appreciate what's happening in your life, and build a better sense of wellbeing.

Passage 3(2025~2026学年广东二模英语)
C
We all know the type: the person who confidently declares they are an expert at something despite knowing little about it. This phenomenon is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect.
People with this cognitive(认知的)bias tend to believe they are far more capable than they really are. Because they know little about a subject, they often mistake their limited understanding for real competence and remain unaware of how much they do not know.
This idea was first examined by psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger. In a series of experiments, participants were asked to complete tests involving grammar, logical reasoning, and humor. After finishing the tasks, they were asked to estimate how well they had performed. To the researchers' surprise, participants who scored in the lowest group consistently rated their performance much higher than it actually was. For example, those in the bottom 12% often believed they had performed above average. In contrast, participants who achieved high scores tended to underestimate their performance.
According to researchers, this pattern can be explained by a "dual burden." The skills needed to perform a task well are also required to judge one's own performance. When people lack these skills, they not only make more mistakes but also fail to assess their performance accurately.
The Dunning-Kruger effect has important real-world consequences, as it discourages individuals from seeking feedback or further study. To overcome this, one must understand that true confidence is built on accurate self-awareness. It is developed through continuous learning, actively seeking constructive criticism, and, most crucially, by grounding self-assessment in measurable standards, such as test scores, recorded progress, or expert feedback, rather than merely relying on subjective feelings. This practice not only clarifies what one knows but also sharpens one's ability to judge that knowledge.

A. overestimated their performance
B. took more time to finish the tests
C. doubted the reliability of the results
D. focused more on others' performance

C. To contrast the different burdens faced by participants.
D. To emphasize the difficulty of performing complex tasks.
30. What does developing true confidence involve?
A. Intense competition and high ambition.
B. Powerful inspiration and active learning.
C. Critical thinking and self-encouragement.
D. Objective evaluation and honest reflection.
31. What might be the best title for the text?
A. When Cognitive Bias Clouds Thinking
B. Why Self-Awareness Can Shape Ability
C. When Confidence Outruns Competence
D. Why Overconfidence Can Be a Good Thing
Passage 4(2025~2026学年广东一模英语)
C
Cristiano Ronaldo sits on his bed, reminding himself that "sleep is the most important tool that I have," and that a disciplined routine shapes his performance. The fitness-tracking band on his wrist reflects the close attention he gives to his body. But this once-specialized habit has gradually moved beyond professional sports, becoming part of the lives of ordinary people who want a clearer sense of their health condition.
Many wearables on the market provide reliable heart-rate tracking and basic physiological(生理的)data, sufficient for general everyday monitoring. Some advanced models, however, go further. They show how habits like late-night eating or drinking directly influence recovery and readiness for the next day. Rather than offering separate data points, these devices track how small changes build up over time, revealing behavioral patterns that shape overall health trends.
Health specialist Jess Whitmore says wearables have become essential tools for top athletes, who now consult their data as naturally as they tie their boots. Yet not everyone welcomes this shift toward constant monitoring. Sports dietitian Jess McGregor warns that the expectation to "train like an athlete" can push ordinary people toward perfectionism and anxiety. The urge to improve everything — sleep scores, readiness ratings, daily stress — can make lives center around numbers. While these numbers offer insight, they cannot replace subjective awareness of energy, emotions or recovery needs. "Everything is being digitized and reduced to numbers," McGregor says.
Perhaps that is the quiet reminder hidden beneath all the data. "When numbers begin to shadow our days, the watch on our wrist can make us forget the body's gentler signals," says Dr. Zachary Walston. He adds, "Living a healthy life still means adding enjoyable habits, like evening walks or taking the stairs, and appreciating the pleasure and freedom they bring, rather than simply chasing device targets."
28. What can we learn about fitness tracking from paragraph 1?
A. It controls sports training routines.
B. It is adopted to treat sleep disorders.
C. It is common among ordinary people.
D. It guarantees top athletic performance.
29. What makes advanced wearables different from other products?
A. They are designed specifically for night eating.
B. They offer separate and independent data points.
C. They reveal connections between habits and health.
D. They provide rich and solid physiological information.
30. What is Jess McGregor worried about regarding using wearables?
A. Reduced enjoyment in daily routines.
B. Lack of timely professional guidance.
C. Physical injuries from training too hard.
D. Mental pressure from chasing numbers.
31. What does Dr. Zachary Walston suggest people do?
A. Listen to your physical signals.
B. Predict body responses from data.
C. Abandon fitness tracking devices.
D. Set clear targets for daily exercise.
Passage 5(2025~2026学年广州二模英语)
C
People might not realize that one basic life necessity has slipped from their control: meals. With the rise of online platforms, people enjoy the freedom to get anything quickly and at a reasonable price. However, food writer Chen Yuhui argues in her book Who Decides What to Eat that this convenience has robbed people of their autonomy over food, reflecting a greater loss of community life in a result-driven society that prioritizes efficiency.
"Many people don't realize how often their dining choices are made for them," Chen says. For instance, a boss's request for overtime changes their dinner plans; or a restaurant discount offer influences where they eat. These, she explains, are passive choices.
Chen cites another common complaint: tomatoes that taste plain compared to childhood memories. This reveals a deeper loss — commercially dominant, hard-skinned varieties are "more fitting for long-distance transportation," sacrificing flavor and the community life once built around fresh markets.
Chen also worries about the decline of people's ability to choose food wisely. Young people buy ingredients online without market experience and may think plain food is just how it's supposed to be. Chen further notes that online food images are "zombie-like" — they show lifeless food, unlike the fresh produce in markets, and this limits people's imagination about food. However, when she shares tips on selecting fresh produce in markets, she often gets requests for shopping links instead.
Chen connects these attitudes to a broader mindset: "Buying groceries and cooking involve a certain level of acceptance of mistakes... Yet many today seem to have little patience with them." The focus on results makes delivery appealing, as people believe it guarantees a better outcome.
Beyond the loss of autonomy, Chen sees something deeper in food — it's a microcosm for understanding the world. "If you love tomatoes but find them plain, do you complain or invest effort to find flavorful ones? Searching for the right variety shows different problem-solving abilities, which is what I mean by food being the smallest unit for understanding the world," she concludes.
28. What does the first paragraph mainly introduce?
A. Advances in food technology.
B. The hidden cost of food convenience.
C. Changing habits of dining out.
D. The popularity of online food shopping.
29. What does Chen mean by describing online food images as "zombie-like"?
A. They look too perfect to be real.
B. They discourage interest in cooking.
C. They push people to order takeout.
D. They fail to show real and lively food.
30. What does people's preference for delivery reveal?
A. Their desire to avoid uncertainty.
B. Their over-reliance on technology.
C. Their view of cooking as a burden.
D. Their separation from food sources.
31. What message does the text want to convey?
A. Returning to markets can restore food autonomy.
B. The loss of food flavor is unavoidable nowadays.
C. Online platforms have changed people's lifestyle.
D. Our relationship with food mirrors our world view.
Passage 6(2025~2026学年广州一模英语)
C
Survey data shows that most freshmen regularly use generative AI, often treating it as "an intellectual partner", Professor John Hampson reported at a faculty (全体教师) meeting in Elite Technology University (ETU). Students most commonly use it to understand difficult concepts, search, generate study materials, and edit writing. Interestingly, the lowest reported use is for generating text.
Meanwhile, students are using faculty office hours and the speaking and writing centers less. In last year's computer science courses, scores on problem sets increased, yet exam scores declined. "This is concerning," noted Hampson. "If they were using AI as a study pal, they weren't absorbing as much as they might think."
Students want clearer AI policies, and Hampson advised faculty to carefully consider and share what level of use they permit, the reasoning behind it, how to cite use of AI, and examples of what's permissible. He also encouraged department-wide discussions to best prepare students for a workplace where they will need to know how to write or code with its assistance. "I also believe that students need to learn to write and code unaided, to develop critical thinking skills, their agency as citizens, and also meaning — making the ideas that help them understand their own lives," he added.
Some professors expressed concerns about how AI use is impacting students' mental health and learning. Professor George Wilson noted that students are often highly competitive, and "it's important to create rules so that competition leads to healthy behaviors that make them better educated people." While some suggested more one-on-one time with students, others noted that budget restrictions would make that difficult.
Professor Poly Burnett observed that lecture attendance is also down. She urged faculty to make lectures something students genuinely want to attend. She also noted that many teachers are making small changes, in hopes of continuing teaching as they've previously taught. "We actually have to see this less as a problem and more as an opportunity," Burnett suggested. "How can ETU lead in rethinking how we teach, how we learn ... and have our students be benefiting and being at the leading edge of that?"
28. What does the author imply about the survey findings by using "interestingly" in paragraph 1?
A. They indicate a promising trend.
B. They contradict a common assumption.
C. They capture the faculty's interest.
D. They require further investigation.
29. Which of the following changes is mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. Students are interacting more with others.
B. AI use has led to better learning outcomes.
C. Exam scores rose while homework scores fell.
D. Students are using off-line academic services less.
30. Why does Hampson emphasize students writing and coding without AI?
A. To clarify acceptable uses of AI in coursework.
B. To prepare students for future workplace demands.
C. To ensure students develop essential human capacities.
D. To improve students' long-term academic performance.
31. What is Burnett's suggestion to the faculty?
A. Make lectures more entertaining.
B. Let students take the leading role.
C. Take the chance to reform education.
D. Adjust teaching slightly to AI challenges.
Passage 7(2025~2026学年深圳二模英语)
C
It's Monday morning again. Like many others, you spend your weekend resting, say, scrolling on your phone, but somehow when the workweek arrives, you never feel as refreshed as you hoped. You wonder: Is there a better way to recharge? Now research suggests the answer is "yes" and it lies in leisure crafting.
Leisure crafting is not about what you do in your free time, but how you do it. It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills. The idea is not to completely shift your approach to free time—or even pick up new pursuits—as much as it is to integrate a few specific goals. Like to run? Try training for a race. Enjoy reading? Aim to read a certain number of books every month.
Setting goals in off-hours looks like another example of letting work-brain logic inch its way into personal lives. But done right, it can help you feel a sense of purpose, confidence, and accomplishment, says Alex Hamrick, a management professor at the University of Richmond. Researchers did 11 field studies with more than 2,400 working professionals and found that individuals reported higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being after engaging in leisure crafting.
While leisure crafting requires commitment and goal-setting, it is still simply that: leisure. The goal is not to turn hobbies into a second job. Research has shown that people's productivity tends to stop increasing at 60 hours a week. Expanding the hours spent maximizing output, even in pursuit of perfecting your cooking techniques or reading detective novels, could make you more tired. Hamrick agrees that if purposeful pursuits start to feel like work, it might be time to stop. Leisure crafting should enhance—not replace—other forms of relaxation.
A recent government guide to getting off your phone included the suggestion of setting a recreational goal as a diversion from the screen. Beyond all the grander reasons to leisure craft, that simple one may be among the most relevant.
28. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?
A. Lack of effective ways to rest.
B. Working through the weekend.
C. Addiction to playing on phones.
D. Feeling worried about the future.
29. Which of the following is the main feature of leisure crafting?
A. Shifting your life focus.
B. Extending your free time.
C. Acting with a purpose.
D. Taking up new hobbies.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning leisure crafting?
A. Its approaches.
B. Its purposes.
C. Its benefits.
D. Its examples.
31. Why does the author mention the research in paragraph 4?
A. To argue against setting unrealistic goals.
B. To warn against overdoing leisure crafting.
C. To explain why commitment is vital for success.
D. To prove how leisure crafting improves efficiency.
Passage8(2025~2026学年深圳一模英语)
C
Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species' culture but had been lost for more than half a century.
Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. "It is a distinctive song—like a fingerprint, but learned," says one of the researchers. "It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird's way of saying, 'This is me, and here I am.'" However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song "dialects" to disappear.
Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild—known only from a musical record made in the 1960s—to a population of chingolos.
Using physics-based modeling of the bird's vocal tract (声道), the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody—a "robotic tutor." This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds' vocal responses.
The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population's "accent" to the final trill (颤音), which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics.
"This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity," says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again.
28. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song?
A. To save an endangered species.
B. To study the birds' brain structure.
C. To develop new robotic devices.
D. To preserve the birds' cultural heritage.
29. What is a role of chingolos' song?
A. It keeps hunters away from them.
B. It helps them adapt to urban growth.
C. It functions as their social identity.
D. It makes them remember their habitat.
30. What is the purpose of the random pauses?
A. To protect the birds' vocal tract.
B. To test the birds' reaction speed.
C. To push the birds to catch the beat.
D. To trick the birds into interaction.
31. What can we learn from chingolos' learning results?
A. The song has spread to other bird species.
B. Their singing shows special vocal features.
C. Their response to the song needs improving.
D. The effectiveness depends on their population.
