Learning a New Skill
I have been attracted to cooking since a young age. But it was not until this summer that my parents allowed me to learn to cook. My mom recommended that I start with stir-fried potatoes. She thought it was suitable for the beginners like me,but actually it was really a challenge for me.
Under her guidance,I peeled the potatoes and cut them into small pieces carefully, which was the hardest part. Then I started the stove,stir-fried the potato pieces and added spices as my mom instructed. Minutes later, the dish was ready and my mom gave me a thumbs-up.
Cooking is a basic skill for us teenagers, which helps us better prepare for independence after graduating from school. I have made up my mind to learn more dishes from my mom.

[转换]答题信息句“While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children.”和“so they pack them into the car instead”指向选项C,且walk less 是declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility的同义互换。
[比对]交通研究也表明行人的流动性下降,尤其是年轻儿童。许多家长说,路上的交通太拥挤,他们的孩子无法安全步行上学,所以他们把孩子塞进车里。由此可知,作者指出的现象是人们步行减少、开车增多。

(2026·广东深圳外国语学校模拟)We can create learning moments that students remember forever if we open up our classrooms to awe and wonder.
Toward the end of my high school year, our Spanish teacher organized a trip to see an Andean band perform in Philadelphia. My classmates and I egged one another on ironically (讽刺地): Who could enjoy the show? The performers' clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange. But then the performers kicked in, dancing to their bombo and wankara drums around the stage and the panpipes and quena announced a kind of sound—new to us.
We had spent too little time discussing the culture of the Inca in social studies but its traditions came alive for us that evening. Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared. I rose out of my chair to dance with honest joy.
I have spent the last seven years living and working in South America. But my thirst for cultural exploration and a desire to understand the world outside my language and country has been alive longer than that. Sometimes I think that night dancing to those ancient rhythms unlocked this fascination. Why do I remember it so-clearly decades later?
In his recent book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, psychology professor Dacher Keltner explains that “brief moments of awe are as good for your mind and body as anything you might do.” Besides being a memorable emotion, awe boosts curiosity, builds humility, helps with critical thinking, and makes people feel more connected. It even makes us happier. “Twenty years into teaching happiness,” Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, “I have an answer: FIND AWE.”
Moving forward, let's do our best to build instances of awe into our curriculum (课程). So when our former students approach us on the subway years later, they will recall the magical moments from their days spent in our classes.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者在高中时期的一次文化体验对其产生的深远影响,并强调了将敬畏和惊奇融入教育的重要性。
1.How did the students initially react to the Andean band's performance?( )
A.They left in disappointment.
B.They showed respect for it.
C.They felt joyful to appreciate it.
D.They approached it with doubt.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据第二段“My classmates and I egged ... clothing seemed odd. The instruments, strange.”可知,学生们最初对安第斯乐队的表演持怀疑态度。
2.What does the underlined word “cynicism” in paragraph 3 refer to?( )
A.A deep understanding of music.
B.A negative attitude to the world.
C.A sense of connection with society.
D.A strong enthusiasm for exploration.
解析:B 词义猜测题。根据第三段“Once the wonderful performance lit up the stage and the hall filled up with music, my teenage cynicism disappeared.”可知,学生们最初对安第斯乐队的表演持怀疑态度,但是当美妙的表演照亮了舞台,大厅里充满了音乐时,学生们的怀疑态度就消失了,由此可推测出“cynicism”指的是对世界的消极态度。
3.Which can be inferred from paragraph 5?( )
A.Curiosity and humility aid critical thinking more than awe.
B.Only long periods of awe benefit mind and body.
C.Awe is the only emotion for feeling connected.
D.Keltner sees awe as key to deep happiness.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据第五段“‘Twenty years into teaching happiness,’ Keltner writes about how to find deep happiness, ‘I have an answer: FIND AWE.’”可知,Keltner认为敬畏是深度幸福的关键。
4.What is the target audience of the text?( )
A.Psychology researchers.
B.High school graduates.
C.Parents.
D.Teachers.
解析:D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Moving forward, let's do our best to build ... spent in our classes.”可知,这篇文章是写给老师的。

(2026·广东部分学校联考)The path to turning a hobby into something meaningful isn't smooth. 17-year-old Wesley Finn from a small Oregon town knows this well.
Since age 12, he's loved taking apart old toys and rebuilding them—from broken RC cars to old alarm clocks. He'd spend hours figuring out how cogs(齿轮)fit and why batteries power motors, and by high school, he made simple devices for his family, like a night-light phone stand. Last year, when he heard about the State High School Robotics Design Competition—where students build robots to do practical tasks, like moving small objects and avoiding barriers—he knew he had to join.
But two weeks before the competition, a major issue arose: The robot's primary sensor, essential for detecting barriers, broke. Unable to afford a replacement, Wesley sought help from Mr Torres, his robotics teacher. Rather than buying new parts, Torres suggested reusing sensors from old robots. Over the next ten days, Wesley worked tirelessly after school, taking apart an older robot, adapting its sensor, and reprogramming it for better response. He also integrated his homework—applying math to calculate speed and physics to improve balance—ensuring his robot could function smoothly.
On competition day, Wesley faced a difficult task: Robots had to move three blocks between tables while avoiding barriers. At first, his robot had trouble—the old sensor was too slow and almost hit the barriers twice. Remembering Torres' advice, he quickly used his laptop, adjusted the code to cut the sensor's response time by half, and restarted the robot. This time, it moved around the barriers smoothly, picked up all the blocks, and placed them exactly where needed.
Wesley didn't win first—he got second—but the experience mattered more than a prize. Judges were deeply impressed by what he did that day. They invited him to a State Robotics Lab summer program, where he'll work with engineers on robots for people with disabilities.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了少年Wesley在资金匮乏的情况下利用旧零件和所学知识改造机器人,虽未赢得冠军,但其临场解决问题的卓越能力和创新精神赢得了评委的认可,并因此获得进入州实验室学习的机会。
