(2026·河南省新高考联盟高三模拟预测)
The wind roils the Midwest plains as if it is
searching for someone or something to carry away.
Dust and chaff funnel into blinding clouds.The
clatter of storms overhead makes it impossible to
hear,and herds of bison grow restless.The
Omaha tribe has wandered these plains for
generations,and now,it seems that the winds have
brought back one of their own.Susan La Flesche
Picotte has returned to the village where she was
born.Not as a visitor,but as the region's only doctor.
When Susan was 8 years old,she waited at the
bedside of an elderly woman writhing in pain.A
doctor was called for.They waited.A messenger
was sent.The doctor still didn't come.Susan
provided what comfort she could through the
night,but by sunrise,the elderly woman had died.
The episode both haunted and motivated Susan.
She threw herself into her studies and earned her
way to what is now Hampton University in
Virginia-a historically Black college with a program for
native American students.And she finished second in
her class.
Susan would never forget the childhood she
enjoyed,full of powwows,buffalo hunts and the
people she loved.But there was further to go.She
enrolled in the Women's Medical College of
Pennsylvania,a tedious train ride away from the
world she knew.It was 1886,and the Victorian age
held stiff against the progress of women.In her
graduation speech from Hampton,she told the East
Coast audience,"Give us a chance."Three years
later,she became a doctor.
Returning to the plains to serve her people
was a difficult task.She opened an office in the
government boarding school and began seeing
patients.The lines were long,old and young secking
reprieve(缓解)from cholera and tuberculosis(肺结
as well as a slew of other diseases.Susan
worked long hours at her office but also braved the
wind and snow,walking miles to make house calls.
Her work was more than as a physician.She often
acted as lawyer,accountant,priest,political liaison
and counselor as she helped the Omahas navigate
the new world.And Dr.Susan La Flesche Picotte
was determined to spend her entire life helping her
people navigate the storms.

(2026·湖南多校联考)
There are a lot of good and logical reasons not
to say what you think,especially when others
disagree.Offending people isn't nice,and it can lead
to social consequences.Nodding along might seem
practical or charitable,despite the fact that you are
screaming disagreement on the inside.However,the
true act of charity is to say what you really think.
Your committing to complete honesty can be an act
of love.
One of my friends takes honesty to the
extreme.He calls talks with others that get to the
complete truth of things,even difficult admissions
in views,"love conversations".Once two people
have such a conversation,his theory goes,they can
understand each other and act accordingly.As a
philosophical matter,my friend's belief of "love
conversations"is Kantian.The German philosopher
Kant argued that lying to others prevents them from
making choices based on the truth,which is
contradictory with friendship and love.
In the 1990s,Brad Blanton argued when the truth
is hard to accept,telling it can have costs,including
social disapproval and broken relationships.But it is
worth the consequences because it can reduce stress,
deepen connections with others,and reduce emotional
reactivity.
Both sides can't be right here.Either Kant,
Blanton,and my friend are embracing a faulty
theory,or our society is missing a big opportunity
for moral growth.You might say that little white
lies are a society lubricant(▣滑剂).They can even
seem virtuous.After telling a white lie,I sometimes
pat myself on the back,turning my evil into a
virtue inside my own head.Some lies might make
life easier,but they don't necessarily make life
happier.I wouldn't want my wife to tell me what
she thinks I want to hear,as if we were strangers
avoiding conflict,and finding out that she had done
so would make me feel distrusted and therefore
hurt our relationship.I don't want a stranger to tell
me she likes my writing if she doesn't,because
unreal compliments make me suspicious.
5.What can we learn from"my friend"in paragraph 2?
A.He admits others'views with great honest.
B.He practices Kant's philosophical theories.
C.He loves to discuss philosophy with others.
D.He prevents himself from difficult choices.
6.What did Brad Blanton think about telling the
truth?
A.Stressful and emotional.
B.Unacceptable and harmful.
C.Thoughtless but courageous.
D.Challenging but deserving.
7.Why is the author's wife mentioned in the last
paragraph?
A.To distinguish her from a stranger.
B.To show her honesty and virtue.
C.To argue for the importance of frankness.
D.To stress avoiding suspicion in marriage.
8.Which statement does the author probably agree
with?
A.Telling the truth can be an act of love.
B.The route to happier life lies in lies.
C.Little white lies are actually virtuous.
D.Our society is being corrupted by lies.

Before finishing,I didn't allow myself to think
much,because I had to be 12.So when I
