Scientists have long proved that constant loving connections are vital to teenagers’ mental growth, just as clean water and balanced diet are to physical health. A 75-year long-term Harvard study tracked hundreds of people from teenage years to old age. The final conclusion shocked many: wealth, fame or high grades cannot bring lasting happiness. The single key factor for a satisfying life is warm, loving relationships. Teens who grow up with patient family love are less likely to suffer anxiety and self-doubt when facing exam pressure or social conflicts. They dare to open up and ask for help instead of locking negative feelings inside. Love from friends also works as powerful healing power. When you fail an important test or feel left out at school, a loyal friend’s comfort reminds you that you are worthy of care. This kind of selfless love teaches us empathy: we learn to notice others’ pain and offer a hand without waiting for rewards. However, many teens only chase short-term infatuation online, ignoring the steady love around them every day. Self-love is often forgotten but equally important. It does not mean being selfish. Instead, it means accepting your weaknesses, forgiving your mistakes and refusing harsh self-criticism. If you lack love for yourself, you will easily rely on others’ praise to feel valuable and get hurt easily in relationships. Love is not just a sweet feeling; it is a lasting power that calms our worries, builds our confidence and connects us closely to the world around us. Cherish family love, value true friendship and learn to love yourself—these three kinds of love will support you through all hard moments in youth. 长难句解析 原句：（第一段第二句）Scientists have long proved that constant loving connections are vital to teenagers’ mental growth, just as clean water and balanced diet are to physical health. 译文：长期以来科学家已经证实，持久温暖的情感联结对青少年的心理成长至关重要，就像干净的水和均衡的饮食对身体健康不可或缺一样。 分析：复合句。that 引导宾语从句；just as 引导方式比较状语从句，后半句省略了核心谓语 are vital。 译文 爱塑造我们的心理健康 来源：VOA Learning English，2026-03-22 许多青少年只把爱理解为心动浪漫，但真正的爱包含更广的范畴：亲情关怀、真挚友情与自我接纳。长期以来科学家已经证实，持久温暖的情感联结对青少年的心理成长至关重要，就像干净的水和均衡的饮食对身体健康不可或缺一样。 哈佛大学一项长达 75 年的长期研究追踪了数百名受访者，从少年时代直至暮年。最终结论令许多人震惊：财富、名望、优异成绩都无法带来长久的幸福，一段温暖充满爱意的人际关系才是拥有美满人生的唯一关键。在充满耐心的亲情环境中长大的青少年，在面对考试压力或人际矛盾时，更少产生焦虑与自我怀疑。他们愿意敞开心扉寻求帮助，而非把负面情绪闷在心底。 朋友的爱同样拥有强大治愈力。当你考试失利或是在学校感到被孤立时，挚友的安慰会让你明白，你值得被善待。这种无私的爱教会我们共情：体察他人的苦楚，不计回报伸出援手。然而很多青少年一味追捧网络上短暂的迷恋，忽略了身边日复一日稳定的温情。 自爱常常被人们遗忘，却同等重要。自爱不等于自私，而是接纳自身缺点、原谅自己的过错、不苛责自己。如果你缺少自爱，就会依靠他人的肯定来寻找自身价值，也更容易在人际关系中受到伤害。 爱不只是一种甜蜜的感受，它是一种持久的力量，抚平焦虑、建立自信，让我们与周遭世界紧密相连。珍惜亲情、珍视挚友、学会自爱，这三种爱会支撑我们度过青春里所有艰难时刻。 Passage B Love Builds A Connected World Source: Smithsonian Education, 2026-05-09 If hate divides people, love unites them. Across all cultures and ages, love acts as the universal language that needs no translation. Whether between family members, classmates or complete strangers, compassionate love breaks walls of prejudice and misunderstanding. In natural disasters, this power shows itself most clearly. When floods or earthquakes hit, thousands of volunteers rush to disaster areas without pay. They share food, shelter and warm words with victims they have never met. This selfless care is pure love for fellow humans. It proves we do not need blood ties to feel connected and responsible for each other. For teenagers, learning to spread small love in daily life is meaningful. Holding the door for a lonely classmate, comforting someone who fails a competition or taking care of stray animals all carry the power of love. These tiny acts seem unimportant alone, yet they create a kinder school and society when many people keep doing them. Science explains why love creates such great influence. When we give care to others, our brains produce oxytocin, a chemical that reduces stress and lifts our mood. Both givers and receivers gain peace and joy from loving interactions. In contrast, cold indifference makes people feel empty and isolated. Love is not limited to close relationships. It exists in every small act of kindness we offer to the world. Its greatest power lies in its ability to spread: one loving move inspires another, forming a warm chain that covers communities and even the whole planet. To live a meaningful life, we should keep giving and accepting love every day. 长难句解析 原句：（第五段第二句）Its greatest power lies in its ability to spread: one loving move inspires another, forming a warm chain that covers communities and even the whole planet. 译文：爱最强大的力量在于它能够传递：一个善意举动带动下一个，编织出温暖的链条，覆盖各个社群乃至整个世界。 分析：复合句。冒号后完整分句解释 spread；forming 现在分词作伴随状语；that 引导定语从句修饰 a warm chain。 译文 爱搭建联结的世界 来源：Smithsonian Education, 2026-05-09 仇恨使人分裂，爱使人凝聚。跨越所有文化与时代，爱是无需翻译的通用语言。无论是亲人、同学还是素不相识的陌生人之间，共情之爱都能打破偏见与隔阂筑起的壁垒。 在自然灾害面前，爱的力量展现得淋漓尽致。洪水、地震来袭时，成千上万志愿者无偿奔赴灾区。他们向素未谋面的受灾群众分享食物、住所与暖心安慰。这份无私关怀，是对同类纯粹的爱。这也证明，人与人不必拥有血缘，也能彼此联结、互相担当。 对青少年而言，在日常生活中传递微小的爱意意义重大。为孤单的同学扶门、安慰比赛失利的人、照料流浪小动物，这些举动都蕴含爱的力量。单独看这些小事微不足道，可当无数人坚持行善，就能打造更友善的校园与社会。 科学解释了爱为何拥有巨大影响力。当我们向他人付出关怀时，大脑会分泌催产素，这是一种能够缓解压力、愉悦心情的化学物质。施予者与接受者都能在充满爱意的互动中收获平和与快乐。与之相反，冷漠会让人内心空虚、与世隔绝。 爱不只存在亲密关系之中，它藏在我们向世界释放的每一份善意里。爱最强大的力量在于它能够传递：一个善意举动带动下一个，编织出温暖的链条，覆盖各个社群乃至整个世界。想要拥有有意义的人生，我们应当持续付出爱、接纳爱。 1. When we care for people around us, the power of love will light up our whole daily life. 当我们关心身边的人，爱的力量会点亮我们全部的日常生活。 2.

A true friend’s love always gives us courage when we meet trouble and feel upset. 真挚朋友的关爱总会在我们受挫难过时给予我们前行的勇气。 4. We can show our love easily through small warm acts in our school and daily life. 我们可以在校园和生活中用微小暖心举动轻松表达心中的爱意。 5. Giving love to others brings us great joy and makes our world full of warmth and hope. 向他人付出爱会带给我们巨大快乐，让世界充满温暖与希望。 6. Learning to love ourselves helps us stay confident and face all difficulties bravely. 学会自爱能帮助我们保持自信，勇敢地去面对生活所有的困难。 7. Simple kind words carry deep love and can cheer up anyone who feels lonely or sad. 简单温柔的话语饱含深情，能抚慰每一个孤单难过的人。 8. Lots of volunteers offer help and send warm love to people hit by natural disasters. 许多志愿者伸出援手，向受灾群众送去真挚温暖的人间大爱。 9. Love acts as a bridge to connect different people and break all kinds of prejudice. 爱是一座桥梁，联结不同的人，消除各种各样的偏见与隔阂。 10. Nobody can live a happy and meaningful life without the love from family and friends. 缺少亲友的关爱，没有人能拥有幸福且富有意义的人生。 11. Every small kind act can pass love on and create a kinder world for everyone. 每一件微小善举都能传递爱意，为所有人打造一个更友善的世界。 12. Love teaches us to understand others and learn to give a hand when they are in need. 爱教会我们理解他人，在别人陷入困境时主动伸出援助之手。 13. A soft smile or a helping hand is a simple but powerful way to show our true love. 一抹微笑或是一次援手，是简单却有力的方式来表达我们真挚的爱。 14. Where there is true love, there will always be bright hope and endless gentle warmth. 只要心中存有真爱，就永远会有明亮希望与源源不断的温柔暖意。 15. The power of love pushes us to become better and bring happiness to people around us. 爱的力量督促我们不断变好，同时把幸福带给身边每一个人。 Passage 1 （2024·山东泰安·中考真题）Elle Gianelli, a teenager from California, USA, has a special connection with her grandmother. That has inspired her to put smiles on the faces of other old people. She brings joy and warmth to them through her socks project. Several years ago, Elle went to a local nursing home with her eighth-grade class. She really enjoyed her time there and felt connected to the old people there. She and her mom started talking about how they might bring a little joy to the old people’s lives. Since Elle was crazy about socks, they came up with the idea to start Socks4Seniors. The idea is simple. Elle wants to provide a pair of colorful socks for each of the old people in the nursing home. She hopes to let them know they’re not alone and someone is thinking about them. Now Elle delivers (递送) socks to some nursing homes every month. During the summer break and other school breaks, she can deliver more. Elle also invites her family, friends and volleyball teammates to join her in delivering socks. “We are lucky to have family and friends in our lives,” said Elle, “but many of the old people don’t have visitors, family or people that love and care about them. A simple action can really change someone’s life or certainly brighten up their day.” Since the beginning, Elle has provided more than 4,000 pairs of socks for the old people.

One important thing of our growth is to make decisions to help our friends and learn to support each other. This requires us to learn what it means to help friends and how to help them in right ways. The first step toward helping others is to identify that they need help. We all know that difficulties are part of our daily lives. However, sometimes small things can lead to more serious problems that require more help. It’s important to make sure when to help a friend. For example, you may pick up some signs that your friends are not acting like themselves. These signs show they may not be well. The next step toward helping others is to listen. Paying attention to others while listening is very important throughout our life. When we communicate with others, we need to learn when to speak and when not to. As listeners, we should try to understand what the speakers are feeling or experiencing and try to see things from their perspectives. Listening and paying attention to others when they speak is a sign of respect and a skill that will lead to deeper and better relationships. There may be times when you’ve listened to a friend, and given them advice, only for them to tell you that “everything’s fine”. In fact, everything isn’t fine. You may think it’s a good idea to let your friends make their own decisions. However, the right thing to do is to share your worries with people they depend on or those who have experience helping young people. You might feel bad about going behind a friend’s back to talk about their secrets. However, if your heart tells you that your friend needs help, this is not the time to keep secrets. Please don’t feel bad about showing your concern to a friend. In a strong friendship, your friend will be thankful for your help once they feel better. 1. What is the purpose of the passage? A．To discuss why people help each other. B．To describe the problems of giving help. C．To introduce the advantages of giving help. D．To explain how we can help others properly. 2. What does the underlined word “identify” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．require B．discover C．suggest D．remember 3. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Act as a good listener to your friends. B．Learn how to give advice to your friends. C．Pay attention to your friends’ unusual acts. D．Build good relationships with your friends. 4. According to the writer, what should you do if your friends don’t follow your advice on their serious problems? A．Keep their problems as secrets. B．Let them make their own decisions. C．Find out the causes of their problems. D．Get help from their trusted teachers. 一、重难词汇（12 个） trouble /ˈtrʌbl/n. 烦恼，麻烦 growth /ɡrəʊθ/n. 成长 require /rɪˈkwaɪə(r)/v. 需要，要求 identify /aɪˈdentɪfaɪ/v. 发现，识别 difficulty /ˈdɪfɪkəlti/n. 困难 lead to 导致 sign /saɪn/n. 迹象，征兆 perspective /pəˈspektɪv/n. 视角，想法 respect /rɪˈspekt/n. 尊重 depend on 依靠，信赖 concern /kənˈsɜːn/n. 关心，担忧 thankful /ˈθæŋkfl/adj. 感激的 二、长难句解析 原句：（第三段第四句）As listeners, we should try to understand what the speakers are feeling or experiencing and try to see things from their perspectives. 译文：作为倾听者，我们应当试着理解倾诉者的感受与遭遇，站在他们的角度看待问题。 分析：多层复合句；what 引导宾语从句作 understand 的宾语；and 连接两个并列谓语 try to do。 Passage 1 （2024·广东广州·一模）Even though we may believe that it’s important to say thank you, sometimes expressing gratitude (感恩) is easier said than done. We might find ourselves getting confused about the details of what to say or the best way to send the message. As a result, many times, we do not express our gratitude. According to new research, however, it’s possible that we might be making expressing thanks more complicated (复杂的) than it needs to be. In a paper published in a psychology magazine, researchers compared the effects of expressing thanks in person, over a video call, and by text. While people generally expect an in-person thank-you to be most effective, what happened in daily life was quite different—sending a thank-you by text was almost as useful and effective as expressing thanks in person. What’s more, texting may be a very good choice when we feel embarrassed about expressing our thanks. In one study, 219 college students took part in a gratitude activity in which they wrote about three things they were grateful for over a two-week period. After writing, the students were asked to actually thank the people. Some connected with the people they wanted to thank in person, others made video calls, and others sent messages. At the beginning and end of the two weeks, these students completed surveys sharing their feelings of well-being, connections, depression, loneliness, and happiness. The researchers found that people who expressed gratitude increased their well-being, with only a few differences between the different methods of gratitude expression. Overall, video calls were just as beneficial (有益的) as meeting in person. Texting was a bit less effective than video calling—it didn’t make people feel more connected and happy. However, participants who sent their thanks by text still experienced benefits: Texting improved their well-being and reduced their loneliness. Overall, the message is that we shouldn’t worry about finding just the “right” way to express our gratitude. In fact, you will probably feel better sending a quick thank-you today than waiting for the right time to plan an in-person visit. You can be sure to get many benefits of gratitude no matter how you send the message. 1. What is the main reason that most people do not express their gratitude? A．They feel ashamed to express gratitude. B．They waste too much money before saying it. C．They think it is useless to express gratitude. D．They think too much about the best way to do it. 2. What does the paper mainly show in paragraph 2? A．We have to learn how to express thanks to others properly. B．We had better express gratitude in person instead of texting. C．Different ways to express thanks have almost the same effect. D．Expressing thanks is a complicated task and makes us embarrassed. 3. How does the writer develop paragraph 3? A．By comparing results. B．By listing numbers. C．By telling stories. D．By giving outlines. 4. What is the writer’s advice on expressing gratitude? A．People should take video calling as their first choice. B．People need to think twice before they express thanks. C．It is better to make a good plan before paying others a visit. D．It is more important to take action than to worry about the methods. Passage 2 （2026·广东广州·二模）The idea of helping others stayed with me all week. When Saturday came, I gathered my courage and explained it all to Mr. Turner, who runs a bakery (面包店): my family’s past situation, the food bank, and my hope to help more people. “Sounds like a wonderful idea, Meghan,” Mr. Turner said, his face breaking into a smile. “And you know I can’t stand food waste.” I couldn’t wait to tell Kyla, my best friend. After I explained everything, her eyes lit up. “That’s great, Meghan!” she exclaimed. Then she added in a conspiratorial whisper, “But maybe we can do even more?” More? That sounded unbelievably exciting! “Tell me,” I urged, “what’s your idea?” “I want to use social media for something positive,” she explained, her voice full of joy. “I’ll write a post online about the food bank and ask for donations.” Pure genius! The plan worked perfectly. With Kyla’s many followers, hundreds saw her post. Over the following weeks, the food bank received a steady stream of donations from local businesses and communities. Maureen, the kind lady who ran it, was always so grateful. She once told us with tears in her eyes, “ ▲ ” About a month later, another piece of good news arrived. “I’ve got a job, Meghan!” Dad shouted one evening. Our family’s situation was finally improving. Even though we were in a better place financially, I kept my job at the bakery — I loved it too much — and I still went to the food bank every Saturday with Kyla to help Maureen. It wasn’t about life’s necessities anymore; it was about community. Kyla and I always went to the supermarket, but never before 6:00 p.m.! We loved searching the shelves for yellow-sticker items and sometimes found something cheaper. “What’s kale?” I asked, holding up a bunch of leafy greens. “Looks like a kind of cabbage,” Kyla replied. As usual, Kyla slept over at my house that Saturday. We crowded into the kitchen, experimenting with the beef, mushrooms, and the kale. The wonderful smell filled the kitchen, mirroring the warmth we felt. It was a simple meal, but it represented something bigger — a small kindness that had started as a simple idea and grown into a light that brightened our whole community. 1. What can we infer about Mr. Turner from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A．He supported Meghan. B．He disagreed with Meghan. C．He planned to sell the food at a lower price. D．He planned to give Meghan the unsold food. 2. Which sentence is the best for “ ▲ ”? A．You are bringing more than just help; you are bringing jobs. B．You are bringing more than just food; you are bringing hope. C．You are bringing more than just bread; you are bringing changes. D．You are bringing more than just kindness; you are bringing money. 3. What can be inferred from the fact that Meghan and Kyla never went to the super-market before 6:00 p.m.? A．They were too busy with school before 6:00 p.m. B．They preferred fresh food in the evening. C．The supermarket was closed before 6:00 p.m. D．They wanted to buy food at lower prices. 4. What is the best title of the passage? A．A girl’s big idea B．Friendship and food C．The power of a small act D．How social media helps Passage 3 （2026·广东深圳·三模）2026年11月，APEC会议将在深圳举行。组委会正在从当地中学生中招募志愿者。以下是6个志愿者岗位以及Peter, John, Andrew, Daisy和Lucia 5位同学的介绍。请根据每个人的性格和优势，为他们匹配最合适的志愿者岗位。 1 Peter is strong and energetic.

To begin with, it can improve their real-life ability. Last month, Li Hua volunteered at a local nursing home. 2 He also managed to cook delicious food for the old people. Another advantage of volunteering is helping students develop unexpected friendships. During the Guangzhou Book Donation Drive last term, Xiao Ming worked with students from five different schools. They worked together to collect thousands of books for the students from poor areas. 3 The friendship they got was just as valuable as the books they collected. 4 For example, helping the disabled children in the children’s hospital can help them feel the love and care from the society. Volunteers can teach these children how to draw and sing songs in their free time. Cleaning the rubbish in parks can help make our city more attractive. Who can volunteer? Anyone! You don’t need special skills. 5 Many organizations like the Guangzhou Youth Volunteer Association welcome student helpers. Why not try volunteering this weekend? You’ll gain more than you give. A．All you need is just a willing heart. B．These activities are very meaningful for both volunteers and the whole society. C．Volunteering can also help create a warm and beautiful community. D．Through this activity, they became close friends. E．He learned how to clean up the house and tidy the rooms there. 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 15 / 15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 8 The power of love 爱的力量（新教材沪教版） 单元阅读精练 版块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 Passage A 外刊阅读理解 夹叙夹议议论文 约 468 打破青少年对爱的片面认知，阐述亲情、友情、自爱三类爱对心理健康的塑造作用，结合哈佛 75 年长期研究，论证温暖的情感联结是长久幸福的核心关键 Passage B 外刊阅读理解 事理说明文 约 437 从跨文化视角、灾难救援场景、日常善意行为、神经科学原理四个维度，讲解爱的联结与传播力量，说明爱能打破偏见凝聚人心，善意互动可同时惠及施与受双方 真题示例 Passage 1 中考阅读理解 成长记叙文 约 320 美国加州少女 Elle 因与奶奶的深厚感情，发起 “Socks4Seniors” 公益项目，每月为养老院老人派送彩色袜子，邀请家人、朋友、队友一同参与，用微小善行为独居老人带去温暖与陪伴 Passage 2 中考阅读理解 事理说明文 约 350 讲解青少年如何正确帮助朋友，核心分为两步：识别朋友的求助信号、学会共情倾听；同时说明若朋友不愿接受建议，应向其信赖的长辈或专业人士求助，而非盲目保守秘密 模拟演练 Passage 1 模拟中考阅读理解 事理说明文 约 380 结合心理学研究，对比当面、视频通话、短信三种感恩表达形式的效果，指出不同方式的感恩表达均能带来心理益处，鼓励人们不必纠结于 “正确” 的方式，行动本身比方法更重要 Passage 2 模拟中考阅读理解 成长记叙文 约 350 女孩 Meghan 曾受食物银行帮助，发起面包店捐赠余粮、好友用社交媒体募捐等行动，从一个善念出发，不仅改善了食物银行的状况，也让自家生活好转，最终温暖了整个社区 Passage 3 信息匹配 应用文 约 200 为 APEC 会议招募中学生志愿者，提供 6 个志愿者岗位与 5 位同学的个人优势介绍，要求根据人物性格与岗位要求完成匹配 Passage 4 信息匹配（配对阅读） 应用文 约 220 给出五位年轻人的生活烦恼，匹配对应的解决建议，涵盖人际交往、学习压力、情绪管理等青少年常见问题 1.

Scientists have long proved that constant loving connections are vital to teenagers’ mental growth, just as clean water and balanced diet are to physical health. A 75-year long-term Harvard study tracked hundreds of people from teenage years to old age. The final conclusion shocked many: wealth, fame or high grades cannot bring lasting happiness. The single key factor for a satisfying life is warm, loving relationships. Teens who grow up with patient family love are less likely to suffer anxiety and self-doubt when facing exam pressure or social conflicts. They dare to open up and ask for help instead of locking negative feelings inside. Love from friends also works as powerful healing power. When you fail an important test or feel left out at school, a loyal friend’s comfort reminds you that you are worthy of care. This kind of selfless love teaches us empathy: we learn to notice others’ pain and offer a hand without waiting for rewards. However, many teens only chase short-term infatuation online, ignoring the steady love around them every day. Self-love is often forgotten but equally important. It does not mean being selfish. Instead, it means accepting your weaknesses, forgiving your mistakes and refusing harsh self-criticism. If you lack love for yourself, you will easily rely on others’ praise to feel valuable and get hurt easily in relationships. Love is not just a sweet feeling; it is a lasting power that calms our worries, builds our confidence and connects us closely to the world around us. Cherish family love, value true friendship and learn to love yourself—these three kinds of love will support you through all hard moments in youth. 长难句解析 原句：（第一段第二句）Scientists have long proved that constant loving connections are vital to teenagers’ mental growth, just as clean water and balanced diet are to physical health. 译文：长期以来科学家已经证实，持久温暖的情感联结对青少年的心理成长至关重要，就像干净的水和均衡的饮食对身体健康不可或缺一样。 分析：复合句。that 引导宾语从句；just as 引导方式比较状语从句，后半句省略了核心谓语 are vital。 译文 爱塑造我们的心理健康 来源：VOA Learning English，2026-03-22 许多青少年只把爱理解为心动浪漫，但真正的爱包含更广的范畴：亲情关怀、真挚友情与自我接纳。长期以来科学家已经证实，持久温暖的情感联结对青少年的心理成长至关重要，就像干净的水和均衡的饮食对身体健康不可或缺一样。 哈佛大学一项长达 75 年的长期研究追踪了数百名受访者，从少年时代直至暮年。最终结论令许多人震惊：财富、名望、优异成绩都无法带来长久的幸福，一段温暖充满爱意的人际关系才是拥有美满人生的唯一关键。在充满耐心的亲情环境中长大的青少年，在面对考试压力或人际矛盾时，更少产生焦虑与自我怀疑。他们愿意敞开心扉寻求帮助，而非把负面情绪闷在心底。 朋友的爱同样拥有强大治愈力。当你考试失利或是在学校感到被孤立时，挚友的安慰会让你明白，你值得被善待。这种无私的爱教会我们共情：体察他人的苦楚，不计回报伸出援手。然而很多青少年一味追捧网络上短暂的迷恋，忽略了身边日复一日稳定的温情。 自爱常常被人们遗忘，却同等重要。自爱不等于自私，而是接纳自身缺点、原谅自己的过错、不苛责自己。如果你缺少自爱，就会依靠他人的肯定来寻找自身价值，也更容易在人际关系中受到伤害。 爱不只是一种甜蜜的感受，它是一种持久的力量，抚平焦虑、建立自信，让我们与周遭世界紧密相连。珍惜亲情、珍视挚友、学会自爱，这三种爱会支撑我们度过青春里所有艰难时刻。 Passage B Love Builds A Connected World Source: Smithsonian Education, 2026-05-09 If hate divides people, love unites them. Across all cultures and ages, love acts as the universal language that needs no translation. Whether between family members, classmates or complete strangers, compassionate love breaks walls of prejudice and misunderstanding. In natural disasters, this power shows itself most clearly. When floods or earthquakes hit, thousands of volunteers rush to disaster areas without pay. They share food, shelter and warm words with victims they have never met. This selfless care is pure love for fellow humans. It proves we do not need blood ties to feel connected and responsible for each other. For teenagers, learning to spread small love in daily life is meaningful. Holding the door for a lonely classmate, comforting someone who fails a competition or taking care of stray animals all carry the power of love. These tiny acts seem unimportant alone, yet they create a kinder school and society when many people keep doing them. Science explains why love creates such great influence. When we give care to others, our brains produce oxytocin, a chemical that reduces stress and lifts our mood. Both givers and receivers gain peace and joy from loving interactions. In contrast, cold indifference makes people feel empty and isolated. Love is not limited to close relationships. It exists in every small act of kindness we offer to the world. Its greatest power lies in its ability to spread: one loving move inspires another, forming a warm chain that covers communities and even the whole planet. To live a meaningful life, we should keep giving and accepting love every day. 长难句解析 原句：（第五段第二句）Its greatest power lies in its ability to spread: one loving move inspires another, forming a warm chain that covers communities and even the whole planet. 译文：爱最强大的力量在于它能够传递：一个善意举动带动下一个，编织出温暖的链条，覆盖各个社群乃至整个世界。 分析：复合句。冒号后完整分句解释 spread；forming 现在分词作伴随状语；that 引导定语从句修饰 a warm chain。 译文 爱搭建联结的世界 来源：Smithsonian Education, 2026-05-09 仇恨使人分裂，爱使人凝聚。跨越所有文化与时代，爱是无需翻译的通用语言。无论是亲人、同学还是素不相识的陌生人之间，共情之爱都能打破偏见与隔阂筑起的壁垒。 在自然灾害面前，爱的力量展现得淋漓尽致。洪水、地震来袭时，成千上万志愿者无偿奔赴灾区。他们向素未谋面的受灾群众分享食物、住所与暖心安慰。这份无私关怀，是对同类纯粹的爱。这也证明，人与人不必拥有血缘，也能彼此联结、互相担当。 对青少年而言，在日常生活中传递微小的爱意意义重大。为孤单的同学扶门、安慰比赛失利的人、照料流浪小动物，这些举动都蕴含爱的力量。单独看这些小事微不足道，可当无数人坚持行善，就能打造更友善的校园与社会。 科学解释了爱为何拥有巨大影响力。当我们向他人付出关怀时，大脑会分泌催产素，这是一种能够缓解压力、愉悦心情的化学物质。施予者与接受者都能在充满爱意的互动中收获平和与快乐。与之相反，冷漠会让人内心空虚、与世隔绝。 爱不只存在亲密关系之中，它藏在我们向世界释放的每一份善意里。爱最强大的力量在于它能够传递：一个善意举动带动下一个，编织出温暖的链条，覆盖各个社群乃至整个世界。想要拥有有意义的人生，我们应当持续付出爱、接纳爱。 1. When we care for people around us, the power of love will light up our whole daily life. 当我们关心身边的人，爱的力量会点亮我们全部的日常生活。 2. Parents’ quiet love stays with us and supports us through every hard time in our growth. 父母无声的爱陪伴我们，支撑我们走过成长里每一段艰难时光。 3. A true friend’s love always gives us courage when we meet trouble and feel upset. 真挚朋友的关爱总会在我们受挫难过时给予我们前行的勇气。 4. We can show our love easily through small warm acts in our school and daily life. 我们可以在校园和生活中用微小暖心举动轻松表达心中的爱意。 5. Giving love to others brings us great joy and makes our world full of warmth and hope. 向他人付出爱会带给我们巨大快乐，让世界充满温暖与希望。 6. Learning to love ourselves helps us stay confident and face all difficulties bravely. 学会自爱能帮助我们保持自信，勇敢地去面对生活所有的困难。 7. Simple kind words carry deep love and can cheer up anyone who feels lonely or sad. 简单温柔的话语饱含深情，能抚慰每一个孤单难过的人。 8. Lots of volunteers offer help and send warm love to people hit by natural disasters. 许多志愿者伸出援手，向受灾群众送去真挚温暖的人间大爱。 9. Love acts as a bridge to connect different people and break all kinds of prejudice. 爱是一座桥梁，联结不同的人，消除各种各样的偏见与隔阂。 10. Nobody can live a happy and meaningful life without the love from family and friends. 缺少亲友的关爱，没有人能拥有幸福且富有意义的人生。 11. Every small kind act can pass love on and create a kinder world for everyone. 每一件微小善举都能传递爱意，为所有人打造一个更友善的世界。 12. Love teaches us to understand others and learn to give a hand when they are in need. 爱教会我们理解他人，在别人陷入困境时主动伸出援助之手。 13. A soft smile or a helping hand is a simple but powerful way to show our true love. 一抹微笑或是一次援手，是简单却有力的方式来表达我们真挚的爱。 14. Where there is true love, there will always be bright hope and endless gentle warmth. 只要心中存有真爱，就永远会有明亮希望与源源不断的温柔暖意。 15. The power of love pushes us to become better and bring happiness to people around us. 爱的力量督促我们不断变好，同时把幸福带给身边每一个人。 Passage 1 （2024·山东泰安·中考真题）Elle Gianelli, a teenager from California, USA, has a special connection with her grandmother.

Several years ago, Elle went to a local nursing home with her eighth-grade class. She really enjoyed her time there and felt connected to the old people there.

One important thing of our growth is to make decisions to help our friends and learn to support each other. This requires us to learn what it means to help friends and how to help them in right ways. The first step toward helping others is to identify that they need help. We all know that difficulties are part of our daily lives. However, sometimes small things can lead to more serious problems that require more help. It’s important to make sure when to help a friend. For example, you may pick up some signs that your friends are not acting like themselves. These signs show they may not be well. The next step toward helping others is to listen. Paying attention to others while listening is very important throughout our life. When we communicate with others, we need to learn when to speak and when not to. As listeners, we should try to understand what the speakers are feeling or experiencing and try to see things from their perspectives. Listening and paying attention to others when they speak is a sign of respect and a skill that will lead to deeper and better relationships. There may be times when you’ve listened to a friend, and given them advice, only for them to tell you that “everything’s fine”. In fact, everything isn’t fine. You may think it’s a good idea to let your friends make their own decisions. However, the right thing to do is to share your worries with people they depend on or those who have experience helping young people. You might feel bad about going behind a friend’s back to talk about their secrets. However, if your heart tells you that your friend needs help, this is not the time to keep secrets. Please don’t feel bad about showing your concern to a friend. In a strong friendship, your friend will be thankful for your help once they feel better. 1. What is the purpose of the passage? A．To discuss why people help each other. B．To describe the problems of giving help. C．To introduce the advantages of giving help. D．To explain how we can help others properly. 2. What does the underlined word “identify” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．require B．discover C．suggest D．remember 3. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Act as a good listener to your friends. B．Learn how to give advice to your friends. C．Pay attention to your friends’ unusual acts. D．Build good relationships with your friends. 4. According to the writer, what should you do if your friends don’t follow your advice on their serious problems? A．Keep their problems as secrets. B．Let them make their own decisions. C．Find out the causes of their problems. D．Get help from their trusted teachers. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章旨在阐述如何正确地帮助朋友，详细说明了帮助他人的几个关键步骤：识别朋友是否需要帮助、学会倾听、以及在必要时寻求成年人或专业人士的帮助，强调了真正的支持不仅是给予建议，更是负责任地关心朋友的身心健康。 【详解】1. 主旨大意题。文章开篇点明“One important thing... is to... learn what it means to help friends and how to help them in right ways.”，随后各段分别介绍了帮助他人的具体步骤 (识别需求、倾听、必要时告知他人)，核心目的是说明如何正确提供帮助。故选D。 2. 词句猜测题。第二段“you may pick up some signs that your friends are not acting like themselves”可知，你可能会发现朋友行为异常的迹象，这是“识别出对方需要帮助”的具体做法；据此可知，“identify that they need help”意为“发现他们需要帮助”，划线单词“identify”与“discover (发现)”含义一致。故选B。 3. 主旨大意题。第三段开头第一句“The next step toward helping others is to listen.” (助人的下一步是倾听) 是该段主旨句，后文围绕“倾听时需专注、理解对方感受、从对方角度看问题”展开，核心是“做朋友的好倾听者”。故选A。 4. 推理判断题。根据第四段“the right thing to do is to share your worries with people they depend on or those who have experience helping young people”可知，作者明确指出正确的做法是“与他们所依赖的人或有帮助年轻人经验的人分享你的担忧”；选项D“从他们信任的老师那里获取帮助”完美地契合了这一建议，因为“信任的老师”正是“他们所依赖的、有经验的帮助者”的典型代表。因此，这是最合理的做法。故选D。 一、重难词汇（12 个） trouble /ˈtrʌbl/n. 烦恼，麻烦 growth /ɡrəʊθ/n. 成长 require /rɪˈkwaɪə(r)/v. 需要，要求 identify /aɪˈdentɪfaɪ/v. 发现，识别 difficulty /ˈdɪfɪkəlti/n. 困难 lead to 导致 sign /saɪn/n. 迹象，征兆 perspective /pəˈspektɪv/n. 视角，想法 respect /rɪˈspekt/n. 尊重 depend on 依靠，信赖 concern /kənˈsɜːn/n. 关心，担忧 thankful /ˈθæŋkfl/adj. 感激的 二、长难句解析 原句：（第三段第四句）As listeners, we should try to understand what the speakers are feeling or experiencing and try to see things from their perspectives. 译文：作为倾听者，我们应当试着理解倾诉者的感受与遭遇，站在他们的角度看待问题。 分析：多层复合句；what 引导宾语从句作 understand 的宾语；and 连接两个并列谓语 try to do。 Passage 1 （2024·广东广州·一模）Even though we may believe that it’s important to say thank you, sometimes expressing gratitude (感恩) is easier said than done. We might find ourselves getting confused about the details of what to say or the best way to send the message. As a result, many times, we do not express our gratitude. According to new research, however, it’s possible that we might be making expressing thanks more complicated (复杂的) than it needs to be. In a paper published in a psychology magazine, researchers compared the effects of expressing thanks in person, over a video call, and by text. While people generally expect an in-person thank-you to be most effective, what happened in daily life was quite different—sending a thank-you by text was almost as useful and effective as expressing thanks in person. What’s more, texting may be a very good choice when we feel embarrassed about expressing our thanks. In one study, 219 college students took part in a gratitude activity in which they wrote about three things they were grateful for over a two-week period. After writing, the students were asked to actually thank the people. Some connected with the people they wanted to thank in person, others made video calls, and others sent messages. At the beginning and end of the two weeks, these students completed surveys sharing their feelings of well-being, connections, depression, loneliness, and happiness. The researchers found that people who expressed gratitude increased their well-being, with only a few differences between the different methods of gratitude expression. Overall, video calls were just as beneficial (有益的) as meeting in person. Texting was a bit less effective than video calling—it didn’t make people feel more connected and happy. However, participants who sent their thanks by text still experienced benefits: Texting improved their well-being and reduced their loneliness. Overall, the message is that we shouldn’t worry about finding just the “right” way to express our gratitude. In fact, you will probably feel better sending a quick thank-you today than waiting for the right time to plan an in-person visit. You can be sure to get many benefits of gratitude no matter how you send the message. 1. What is the main reason that most people do not express their gratitude? A．They feel ashamed to express gratitude. B．They waste too much money before saying it. C．They think it is useless to express gratitude. D．They think too much about the best way to do it. 2. What does the paper mainly show in paragraph 2? A．We have to learn how to express thanks to others properly. B．We had better express gratitude in person instead of texting. C．Different ways to express thanks have almost the same effect. D．Expressing thanks is a complicated task and makes us embarrassed. 3. How does the writer develop paragraph 3? A．By comparing results. B．By listing numbers. C．By telling stories. D．By giving outlines. 4. What is the writer’s advice on expressing gratitude? A．People should take video calling as their first choice. B．People need to think twice before they express thanks. C．It is better to make a good plan before paying others a visit. D．It is more important to take action than to worry about the methods. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. D 【导语】本文主要介绍了不管采用什么样的方式表达感激，都会从感激中得到很多好处。 【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据“We might find ourselves getting confused about the details of what to say or the best way to send the message. As a result, many times, we do not express our gratitude.”可知我们可能会发现自己对该说什么的细节或发送信息的最佳方式感到困惑，因此，很多时候，我们没有表达我们的感激之情。故选D。 2. 推理判断题。根据“sending a thank-you by text was almost as useful and effective as expressing thanks in person”可知通过短信发送感谢几乎和当面表达感谢一样有用和有效，即表达感谢的不同方式几乎有相同的效果。故选C。 3. 推理判断题。根据“Some connected with the people they wanted to thank in person, others made video calls, and others sent messages...The researchers found that people who expressed gratitude increased their well-being, with only a few differences between the different methods of gratitude expression”可知作者通过比较研究结果展开第三段。故选A。 4. 细节理解题。根据“the message is that we shouldn’t worry about finding just the ‘right’ way to express our gratitude”可知我们不应该担心找到表达感激之情的“正确”方式，要采取行动。故选D。 Passage 2 （2026·广东广州·二模）The idea of helping others stayed with me all week. When Saturday came, I gathered my courage and explained it all to Mr. Turner, who runs a bakery (面包店): my family’s past situation, the food bank, and my hope to help more people. “Sounds like a wonderful idea, Meghan,” Mr. Turner said, his face breaking into a smile. “And you know I can’t stand food waste.” I couldn’t wait to tell Kyla, my best friend. After I explained everything, her eyes lit up. “That’s great, Meghan!” she exclaimed. Then she added in a conspiratorial whisper, “But maybe we can do even more?” More? That sounded unbelievably exciting! “Tell me,” I urged, “what’s your idea?” “I want to use social media for something positive,” she explained, her voice full of joy. “I’ll write a post online about the food bank and ask for donations.” Pure genius! The plan worked perfectly. With Kyla’s many followers, hundreds saw her post. Over the following weeks, the food bank received a steady stream of donations from local businesses and communities. Maureen, the kind lady who ran it, was always so grateful. She once told us with tears in her eyes, “ ▲ ” About a month later, another piece of good news arrived. “I’ve got a job, Meghan!” Dad shouted one evening. Our family’s situation was finally improving. Even though we were in a better place financially, I kept my job at the bakery — I loved it too much — and I still went to the food bank every Saturday with Kyla to help Maureen. It wasn’t about life’s necessities anymore; it was about community. Kyla and I always went to the supermarket, but never before 6:00 p.m.! We loved searching the shelves for yellow-sticker items and sometimes found something cheaper. “What’s kale?” I asked, holding up a bunch of leafy greens. “Looks like a kind of cabbage,” Kyla replied. As usual, Kyla slept over at my house that Saturday. We crowded into the kitchen, experimenting with the beef, mushrooms, and the kale. The wonderful smell filled the kitchen, mirroring the warmth we felt. It was a simple meal, but it represented something bigger — a small kindness that had started as a simple idea and grown into a light that brightened our whole community. 1. What can we infer about Mr. Turner from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A．He supported Meghan. B．He disagreed with Meghan. C．He planned to sell the food at a lower price. D．He planned to give Meghan the unsold food. 2. Which sentence is the best for “ ▲ ”? A．You are bringing more than just help; you are bringing jobs.

And you know I can’t stand food waste.”可知，他不仅称赞Meghan的想法很棒，还表明自己无法忍受食物浪费，这暗示他认同并将支持Meghan将多余食物捐赠给食物银行的计划。 2. 根据第六段语境，Maureen作为食物银行负责人，面对源源不断的捐赠眼含热泪，说明这些捐赠不仅解决了食物短缺，更给受助者带来了生活的转机。结合后文Meghan家情况好转及社区变暖的情节，B选项“你带来的不只是食物，更是希望”最符合情感基调和文章主题。 3. 根据第九段“We loved searching the shelves for yellow-sticker items and sometimes found something cheaper.”可知，她们喜欢寻找贴黄标签的商品，因为能发现更便宜的东西。超市通常在晚上6点后对生鲜食品进行打折处理。因此推断她们是为了以更低的价格购买食物。 4. 文章最后一句“a small kindness that had started as a simple idea and grown into a light that brightened our whole community.”点明了主题：一个小小的善意举动最终照亮了整个社区。C 选项“一个小举动的力量”最能概括这一核心思想。 Passage 3 （2026·广东深圳·三模）2026年11月，APEC会议将在深圳举行。组委会正在从当地中学生中招募志愿者。以下是6个志愿者岗位以及Peter, John, Andrew, Daisy和Lucia 5位同学的介绍。请根据每个人的性格和优势，为他们匹配最合适的志愿者岗位。 1 Peter is strong and energetic.
