He gently woke Adam up and patted his shoulder, encouraging him to be brave enough to face his mistake. He took out some money he had earned from the restaurant, put it in his pocket, and told Adam that they would take responsibility together. Then the two brothers walked towards Mr Black’s house quietly, with Adam holding James’ hand tightly, looking a little nervous but determined. Paragraph 2: Mr Black was a little surprised to see the brothers. James stepped forward first, explained the whole thing clearly, and then apologized sincerely for Adam’s mistake. He took out the money and offered to pay for the broken tail light. Mr Black smiled and shook his head, saying he was moved by their honesty. He forgave Adam and refused the money, praising James for being a responsible elder brother. The brothers felt relieved, and James knew that this was more meaningful than buying a bike. 答案详解 （维克多英语2026年5月试题未发行） 听下面的录音，回答第1小题。 （Text 1） W: I’m not sure a round table is the best option, Jim.

Charente holidays offer a range of fun and exciting things to do with kids of all ages. La Vallee des Singes One of the must-visit places in Charente is the stunning La Vallee des Singes, a unique primate park located in Romagne. Here, families can get up close and personal with over 30 species of monkeys and apes. Kids will love watching the playful animals swing from tree to tree and learning about their behaviors from knowledgeable guides. Lacs de Haute Charente If you’re looking for some outdoor fun, head to Adventure Park Lacs de Haute Charente. This park offers a range of activities such as zip-lining, rope courses, and paddleboarding, making it a great place for families to get their adrenaline (肾上腺素) pumping. The park is set in a beautiful natural setting surrounded by lakes, making it the perfect spot for a fun-filled day out. Angouleme For a more relaxed day, consider visiting the picturesque town of Angouleme. This historic town is known for its charming cobbled streets, medieval architecture, and stunning views over the Charente River. Take a leisurely stroll through the town’s narrow alleys and visit the many boutiques (精品店), cafes, and art galleries that line its streets. Chateau de la Rochefoucauld If you’re a fan of history, don’t miss a visit to the stunning Chateau de la Rochefoucauld. This beautiful castle dates back to the 11th century and offers guided tours that will take you through its rich history and stunning architecture. 21. What is available for visitors at Lacs de Haute Charente? A. Art visits in local galleries and museums. B. Guided tours about the history of ancient castles. C. Various exciting outdoor activities in a beautiful lake area. D. Peaceful walks on historic stone streets. 22. Who will be interested in Chateau de la Rochefoucauld? A. Animal lovers B. History lovers C. Sports lovers D. Art lovers 23. From which section of a website is the text probably taken? A. Sports Education B. Family Holiday Guide C. Science Fiction Review D. Health Care Advice B Frida Kahlo remains one of the most iconic and influential artists of the 20th century — not merely for her paintings, but for the extraordinary life she lived. With her traditional Mexican dresses, and a resolute gaze that meets viewers, she created art that was deeply personal yet universally resonant (产生共鸣的). “My painting contains in it the message of pain,” she once said. Kahlo’s childhood was marked by adversity. At six, she was infected with polio, which caused her right leg a slight limp. Yet the young Frida was spirited and unbowed. Her life transformed at 18 when a bus accident left her seriously injured: her spine was broken in three places, her pelvis crushed, and her right leg shattered in eleven places. She would later remark with characteristic dark humor that the accident “took my virginity (贞洁)”. During months in bed, her mother placed a mirror above her and gave her paints. “I paint myself because I am often alone and because I am the subject I know best,” she explained. Painting became both a lifeline and a means of documenting her reality. Frida Kahlo produced around 200 paintings, most of them self-portraits. Though some called her a Surrealist, Kahlo fiercely rejected the label. “I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality,” she insisted. Her work mixed Mexican folk art with raw honesty about her suffering. In The Broken Column (1944), she showed herself with a cracked spine held together by nails. Even her medical corsets (束身衣) that limited her body became canvases — she painted butterflies on them. André Breton, the leader of the Surrealist movement, described her work as “a ribbon around a bomb”. Kahlo transformed suffering into art and personal tragedy into universal statements about the human condition. More than six decades after her death, she continues to reflect audiences because she remains utterly herself. 24. What makes Frida Kahlo an influential figure? A. Her personal paintings. B. Her art and life story. C. Her traditional dresses. D. Her pain and struggle. 25. What does the underlined word “adversity” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Misfortune B. Delight C. Advantage D. Courage 26. What does André Breton imply by describing Kahlo’s work as “a ribbon around a bomb” in paragraph 3? A. Kahlo’s art shows more pain than beauty. B. Kahlo’s art turns bombs into ribbons. C. Kahlo’s art combines beauty with suffering. D. Kahlo’s art features ribbons and bombs. 27. Which of the following best describes Kahlo? A. Tough and creative. B. Humorous and easy-going. C. Dynamic and generous. D. Optimistic and self-centered. C Books were stamped with “Human Authored” logos (标识) at this week’s London Book Fair. The Society of Authors described its labelling as “an important logo to protect and promote human creativity instead of AI labelled content in the marketplace.” Visitors to the fair were also given copies of Don’t Steal This Book, a collection of 10,000 writers including Nobel winner Kazuo Ishiguro and Richard Osman, in which the pages are completely blank. The back cover states: “The UK government must not legalize book theft to benefit AI companies.” The empty book is a protest against AI companies using copyrighted works without permission or payment to train their models — and against UK government proposals that could legalize this practice. Organized by Ed Newton-Rex, a composer and copyright campaigner, the project has drawn vast support from the literary world. The AI industry is “built on stolen work” “This is a crime that has victims,” he added, “Generative AI competes with the creators of the works it trains on, taking away their livelihoods.” The protest comes just a week before the UK government is due to publish an economic impact assessment of proposed changes to copyright law. The government initially proposed a system, under which AI firms could use copyrighted material unless rights holders refused permission — an exact opposite of copyright law’s core principle. Only 3% of people surveyed backed the plan. The government dropped it but is now considering a “commercial research exception” that would still allow AI companies to use works without approval for commercial training. For the authors behind Don’t Steal This Book, the blank pages are a powerful symbol: they represent the future of writing if AI companies continue to use creative work without payment — a world where authors are left with nothing. As the Society of Authors put it, the empty book is “a stopgap measure” — but the real solution is a copyright system that protects human creativity, not commercial greed. 28. Why were the books stamped with “Human Authored” logos? A. To show public sympathy for authors. B. To fight AI’s stealing copyrighted works. C. To promote newly-published works. D. To introduce promising authors. 29. What is AI creators’ influence to the human writers? A. They improve the writing efficiency of human writers. B. They help human writers create more wonderful works. C. They protect the copyright of human literary works. D. They may claim their means of making a living. 30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The protest weakening UK’s economy. B. Copyright law enjoying public support. C. AI firms prioritizing commercial profits. D. The UK government favoring AI companies. 31. How does the Society of Authors view the empty book? A. It is a band-aid fix. B. It stands the test of time. C. It is a game changer. D. It works once and for all. D Scientists have taken to the salon (美发厅) after realising hairdressers may be an “under-recognised” force in fueling climate action. Alongside their craft, hairdressers are known for their conversation skills, who often act as an agony aunt, adviser and friend rolled into one. New research from the University of Bath’s Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformation (CAST) reveals this is what makes hair salons centers of trust that could be used to encourage conversations around climate change. The research team interviewed 30 UK salon owners about sustainability, and then ran a nationwide intervention in 25 sustainable salons using Mirror Talkers, where eco-tips are placed on salon mirrors to engender discussions on sustainable haircare practices. “The carbon footprint of shampoo (洗发水) is mostly in the hot water used,” says Denise Baden of the University of Southampton. “Simple messages like ‘most of us use too much shampoo and shampoo too often’ can spark conversations about how shampooing less and at lower temperatures saves time, money, energy, water and is better for your skin and hair.” The study found nearly 73% of salon clients were likely to change their haircare routines after conversations sparked by the Mirror Talkers, some even switching to eco-friendly products, using cooler water, and adopting greener habits at home. Researchers say this demonstrates how hairdressers have an “untapped ability” to weave climate change into everyday conversations and actions. They are now urging policymakers to roll out tools like Mirror Talkers nationally. “If we’re serious about building a public movement for climate action, then it’s time to invest in these unsung influencers because real change starts in everyday conversations,” says Dr Sam Hampton of CAST. Matilda Collins, a senior director and stylist, says the Mirror Talkers initiative could gain positive outcomes if the experience “feels natural and engages clients without being overly virtuous”. She adds, “Ultimately, the trust a stylist builds with the client is what will drive potential positive changes in behaviour. It could be a great education platform and a conversation starter, however.” 32. What did the researchers ask the salon owners to do to promote sustainable practices? A. Change haircare products for free for their clients. B. Put up the eco-tips on the salon mirrors. C. Teach clients how to cut hair in an environmentally friendly way. D. Survey clients about their carbon footprint daily. 33. What is the focus of the third paragraph? A. The importance of saving water. B. The harm of overusing shampoo. C. The function of eco-tips in salons. D. The strategy of starting conversations. 34. What can we infer from Dr Sam Hampton’s words? A. Sound policies encourage investment. B. Daily conversations can make a difference. C. Unsung influencers need professional training. D. Mirror Talkers has gained nationwide popularity. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Salons: Overlooked Centers to Build Trust B. Haircare: A Hidden Source of Carbon Footprint C. Mirror Talkers: A Platform to Show Fashion Trends D. Hairdressers: Secret Weapons Against Climate Change 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Setting boundaries with people, especially those you care about, can be difficult. You may feel guilty about doing so, but there’s no need to. 36 Offer substitutes to what they want. You may have a friend who wants to come over and stay all day. Being a good friend doesn’t mean doing everything they want you to do. 37 For instance, you can say, “You can come over, but only for a few hours because I have things I need to do.” Tell your friend you’ll help, but you expect help, too. 38 Let your friends know that you expect the same amount of help that you give. For example, if your friend always bums a ride, you could say, “I don’t mind taking you to places, but I’ll need some gas money if this is going to continue.” 39 Some “friends” want to use up all you’ve got, but never offer anything in return. They may continually break promises, constantly borrow things from you but refuse to return the favor, and so on. Offer a warning about boundary violations to let your friend know when they occur. You might say, “Hey, you stood me up last night and that wasn’t cool. I’ll stop making plans with you if this happens again.” Say “goodbye” to friends who continually cross boundaries. In the course of establishing your boundaries, you might learn that some friends may push your limits continuously and they just are not worth the effort. 40 You could say, “I feel like our relationship is one-sided. I won’t be able to continue putting all I have into our friendship if you don’t do the same for me.” A. Give a warning. B. Tell your friend what you need. C. Be clear that you can no longer maintain such a friendship. D. Tell your friends you need more personal space from now on. E. You don’t have to cut them off completely, however, you can offer alternatives. F. You may be consistently available to help out, but never receive any in return. G. Here are some tips about how to establish boundaries with friends. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was born in a rural town. The life there was simple yet 41 — unspoken rules governed everything and new ideas were rarely tolerated. I felt caged and 42 by the humble houses, the rough roads, and even the endless stretches of cornfields. Even more unacceptably, independence wasn’t exactly 43 there, and I had to follow a beaten path, a life defined by convention. So I 44 — far away to a big city. City life was really 45 .

Years later, I returned to the place I once 49 . To my surprise, while I had changed, so had my hometown, with small, welcoming 50 everywhere: Tall buildings stood towering and various shops lined the widened streets.

Admittedly, I feared being labeled as a “failure” at the city life, yet no such 52 came — only quiet understanding, or, 53 , you could say. This homecoming, 54 , was not just a return, but a (n) 55 of the soul, empowering me to stay rooted and carve out a new life on my own land. 41. A. stable B. addictive C. inflexible D. confusing 42.

Scholars and artists felt that writing or drawing on white paper was far from 56 (full) offering an expression of their thoughts and literary and artistic tastes. Thus, they designed a special type of patterned paper called huajian and decorated it 57 customized motifs (装饰图案) and characters, on smaller-sized sheets. Researchers commented that in their research papers on traditional culture this year huajian represents the highest artistic taste of ancient Chinese 58 (intellectual). From the Tang Dynasty’s poets to Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, they all shared 59 (enthusiastic) for personalized paper art. Rarely seen examples of the unique huajian tradition were on show at the Art Museum of Beijing Fine Art Academy. The exhibition displayed colorful, patterned vintage (古色古香的) paper, selected huajian catalogs, and planks and tools for woodcut printing. The objects 60 (gather) from the collections of eight museums and cultural institutions. The exhibition follows the evolving aesthetics (美学) of academics 61 (reflect) innovations in papermaking and printing techniques. When not 62 (print) with words, these patterned papers are worthy of appreciation as stand-out miniature paintings. “As 63 unique form of stationery, huajian paper carries a galaxy of emotions, 64 patterns are like background music on paper, though they cannot be heard. They do not take attention away from the texts, but possess a lingering charm, 65 (remind) people today of the creative artistry and sincerity between the lines,” says the director of the Beijing Fine Art Academy. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 假定你是李华，你为校英语社团举办的“Green Campus”活动设计了宣传海报并获得好评。请在英语社团分享你的设计，内容包括： 1．海报的内容；2．设计的理念；3．呼吁采取行动。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Dear fellow members, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，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。 When the night fell, James, a middle school student in London, dragged his tired body home. In order to save money to buy himself a new bike, he had been working at a restaurant for over a month during the summer vacation. He had already earned some money. With one more week, he would have his dream bike. Entering the room, James found his younger brother Adam sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face. James stared at Adam confusedly. “Sorry. I did something wrong,” Adam said, on the verge of tears. “What’s the matter with you?” James asked. “This afternoon I went to play football on the road outside the house and accidentally hit our neighbour Mr Black’s car. I was so scared and I hurried home in panic without telling him,” Adam said, full of guilt. “Is the car seriously damaged?” James couldn’t wait to continue asking. “The ball hit the car back and the tail light (尾灯) got broken,” Adam said in a low voice. “It’s truly your fault. It’s really dangerous to play football on the road. What’s worse, you shouldn’t have come back without telling Mr Black about it. You are such a naughty boy,” James raised his voice. Hearing this, Adam lowered his head and bit his lip hard. James added, “Anyway, it’s never too late to mend (修补). I’ll take you to his house tomorrow to apologise. Now it’s time to sleep.” When Adam went to bed, James couldn’t go to sleep himself. Father always told him to be honest, to be a boy admired by the people and to be an example of his brother. He was sorry for his brother’s behaviour. He shouldn’t have blamed his brother after he did something wrong. But he could understand him. Anyway, Adam was only a boy of seven and what had happened really scared him. But as his elder brother, he should pay for it though this might delay (推迟) his plan of having the bike. “Nothing serious. At worst, I can take more summer jobs,” he said to himself. 注意： （1）续写词数为150左右。 （2）请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Para.1 James got up early the next morning. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para.2 Mr Black was a little surprised to see the brothers. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
