But during the holiday season, we are often reminded of something important. 1 Below are four easy ways to do just that by helping our neighbors facing hunger. Set up a holiday food drive. Get your friends, family or neighborhood together and start a food drive. 2 Then in the weeks leading up to the holidays and at holiday gatherings, encourage your neighbors and family to help make a difference by supporting your food drive. Deliver all the collected items to the food bank to ensure your efforts have the greatest impact. 3 Do you have a friend or family member that cares deeply for others? This year, consider donating to Feeding America in honor of your friends and family. You will be spreading the love twice as far by giving meals to families who are in need and giving your loved one a meaningful gift. Give a gift today. Volunteer! Did you know that 51% of all food programs rely entirely on volunteers? 4 But the feeling of helping your neighbors in need during the holiday season is priceless. Get in touch with your local food bank to learn more about volunteer opportunities. Make a difference online. There are lots of ways that you can help people facing hunger without leaving the comfort of your own home. You can start an online fundraiser or add Feeding America as your charity of choice on Amazon Smile or eBay. 5 A. Give a gift that gives back. B. It won’t cost you anything. C. Show concern for your loved one. D. They truly play a key role in volunteering. E. It’s to give back, especially to those in need. F. Your digital footprint may inspire others to join you. G.

We often struggle with endless worries, messy thoughts and tiring to-do lists that leave us mentally exhausted. 6 Thankfully, here are some practical and evidence-based ways to ease our mental pressure and regain calmness in daily life. • Write about your problems. Writing down what makes you feel stressed is more helpful than you think. Research has shown that expressive writing can reduce troubling thoughts and improve your working memory. 7 Just let your words flow freely on the paper without self-criticism. Doing this every day can prevent messy thoughts from piling up and weighing you down. • 8 A recent study has found that people need nearly 23 minutes to fully regain focus after an unexpected disturbance. Frequent distractions will only leave you feeling anxious and inefficient. To solve this problem, you can identify common disturbances like social media updates and email notices. Set fixed periods to deal with them so that you can save your cognitive energy for key tasks. • Connect physically. Rather than keeping to yourself when feeling stressed, try to stay close to people who care about you. 9 Studies have made it clear that warm physical touch can lower stress levels and improve your overall sense of well-being. Even small gentle touches can create a strong feeling of comfort and calmness. • Learn to refuse politely. Overwhelm often comes from taking on too many unnecessary responsibilities. You can list things you plan to say “no” to, such as after-work emails or meaningless events. 10 Only in this way can you put them into what really matters and improve your mental health. A. Schedule interruptions. B. Manage time reasonably. C. This daily practice helps clear your mind effectively. D. Saying no to extra assignments improves your work efficiency. E. You can hug your family or hold hands with your close friends. F. Such a state can greatly impact our mood and daily performance. G. Learning to set proper boundaries saves your limited mental energies. Passage 3 (2026届河南驻马店经济开发区高级中学高三第二学期5月质量检测)Being a camp counselor(辅导员) is an exciting and important job! You help campers have a lot of fun, learn new things, and feel safe. To be great at it, you need the right skills and a positive attitude. These five tips will show you how to lead, listen, and create amazing memories for everyone at camp! Be enthusiastic in every activity. 11 Show enthusiasm to motivate the group, whether it’s an exciting outdoor activity or a quieter indoor craft session. Even during activities that can seem less exciting, like rainy-day games, your enthusiasm can transform the experience. Listen actively to your campers. Being a good listener is one of the most important features of a great camp counselor. 12 When they share their thoughts or feelings, give them your full attention, and respond thoughtfully. This builds trust and shows you care about them. Be open to trying new things. Campers often look up to their counselors as role models. 13 Be willing to try new activities, even if they’re outside your usual interests. Whether it’s attempting a climbing wall or joining a dance-off, your willingness inspires your campers to do the same. 14 Campers often come up with creative ideas or suggestions for activities. Instead of dismissing these ideas, take them seriously. Even when an idea doesn’t work out perfectly, the camper will feel valued knowing their input matters. Use positive language. The way you communicate with campers matters. Instead of focusing on what they mustn’t do, guide them with positive instructions. For example, instead of saying, “Don’t run,” say, “Please walk.” 15 A. Encourage camper ideas. B. Always be patient when resolving conflicts. C. Campers want to feel heard and understood. D. By doing so, your instructions are easier to remember. E. This slight change makes them more likely to cooperate. F. Your energy and excitement set the tone for your campers. G. To encourage them to step out of their comfort zones, you need to do the same. Passage 4 (2026届云南省红河州、文山州高三第四次州统测三模) How to Get Organized: The Ultimate Guide to a Clutter-Free Life With all the inputs, information, and clutter(杂乱) that come into our lives today, just staying on top of it all creates so much stress and anxiety. Most of the time, you simply don’t know where to start when you want to learn how to be organized. 16 . By developing a few strategies and methods, you can finally get control of your clutter. 17 Your desktop should be clean and file-free. Not only does a cluttered desktop slow down your computer, but it also makes finding things painfully slow. Instead, you can create a basic folder structure inside your documents folder. For me, I have two basics folders, one called “work” and the other called “personal.” Inside of these, I have subfolders organized according to my different roles or categories. 18 . Set a weekly time to declutter your devices We take a picture, and we just leave it in our photo album. Over time we end up with thousands of photos in our electronic photo albums that are not worth keeping. I spend around ten minutes on the weekend deleting all the images I no longer want to keep. If you want to stay clutter-free, this habit will reward you. 19 . Not doing so means you will end up having to spend a day or two just dealing with everything. Do a little, often 20 . Clear out your email inbox every day, delete screenshots from your desktop and empty your bag at the end of the week, and throw away anything you no longer need. Doing a little often makes things so much easier, and you do not have that mental backlog creeping up on you. In short, getting organized and keeping clutter at bay is achievable through practical, consistent steps. These habits not only save time and reduce stress but also help you maintain a more orderly and manageable daily routine. A. Make it a habit to clear your desktop annually B. Don’t use your computer’s desktop for storage C. However, it is, in fact, something that can be learned D. It allows me to quickly find what I need when necessary E. Here are a few rules that can help you on your path to a stress-free life F. If you want to be organized, you can use this principle for almost everything G.

It has a special flavor full of tropical sweetness, and it is easy to take with you when you go to work or just stay at home for a casual snack. 21 Here are clear and practical steps to help you pick, prepare and eat fresh passion fruit. ●Pick ripe passion fruit. 22 You are supposed to pick the ones that are slightly wrinkled and in deep purple color — these are the ones that have ripened the most and will be the sweetest. Since people only eat the inner flesh instead of the outer skin, how clean the skin looks doesn’t matter too much. In general, the softer the fruit shell feels, the riper it will be. ● 23 You should grab a passion fruit and shake it. If you feel a lot of liquid or pressure in there, that means there are a lot of seeds and liquid, which means a lot of deliciousness to eat. You can also determine the flavor if you smell the fruit. If it has a lot of tropical aromas(香气), then it will taste good. If you can’t smell anything, it’ll probably either be too sour or tasteless. ●Wash your passion fruit. Once you have purchased the passion fruit, ensure that you wash it carefully even though we never eat its skin. 24 When an unwashed passion fruit is cut, the knife carries the bacteria from the skin through the flesh of the fruit. ● Scoop the passion fruit. You can cut the cleaned fruit into halves and scoop out the orange flesh with a spoon. Try to let as little of the juice as possible run out of the fruit (because it’s delicious.) 25 Don’t scrape the skin too hard because the white layer is bitter and tastes bad. A. Squeeze passion fruit. B. Check by shaking and smelling. C. Consider the texture of the passion fruit’s skin. D. Shaking the fruit is the best way to know its flavor. E. However, it takes some simple skills to enjoy its best flavor. F. You will see that the orange flesh is separated from the white skin. G. It can keep harmful chemicals and bacteria away from your mouth. Passage 6 (2027届湖南长沙市金秋方舟高级中学有限公司高三考前模拟英语试题)Growing a garden is great fun. Flowers bring color and sweet smells into our lives. Homegrown carrots and tomatoes are delicious. Whether your garden takes up a corner of your yard, or a corner of a windowsill(窗台), it’s easy to be successful by following a few simple guidelines. 26 Look around your house, yard, or apartment. Think carefully about the space available, as well as the time and effort you want to devote to your project. Plants need soil, sunshine, and water. 27 If you are planting a garden in a corner of your yard, choose a spot that gets lots of morning sun. If you live in an apartment, you might decide to place your container garden on a sunny spot on your balcony or windowsill. Once you have determined the size of your garden, you are ready to choose what to plant. 28 When choosing plants, consider the size and location of your garden and how much sun it will get. Sunflowers need lots of room and sunlight. Other plants do well in the shade (阴凉处). 29 After you have decided on your favorite flowers or vegetables, the next step is to make a budget. Make a list of everything you will need, including seeds(种子), soil, containers, and tools. When everything is ready, it is time to plant! 30 Plants usually come with a label which includes instructions on care. Water constantly to keep young plants and seeds slightly wet, especially if you live in a hot climate. If you plan carefully, choose the right plants, and take good care of them, you are sure to have a garden everyone will enjoy. A. Plants can’t live without sun or water. B. They are in great need of care as well. C. There are different kinds of pots to choose from. D. Decide whether you want flowers, vegetables, or both. E. To begin, determine what size garden works best for you. F. When using packaged seeds, follow the directions on the package. G. If you are not sure what to plant, look for books about gardens at the library. 考向二 介绍/说明/科普知识(说明文) Passage 1 (2026届浙江宁波市镇海中学高三英语模拟试题)Visit PokéPark Kanto, the world’s first permanent Pokémon theme park. Fans are wildly enthusiastic about its opening, as tickets for the park’s first three months were sold out instantly. 1 Curious about its origin? Let’s dig deeper! Pokémon was created by Tajiri Satoshi, who grew up in the suburbs of Tokyo. As a child he was fascinated by collecting insects, but urban development quickly swallowed nearby fields and ponds. 2 He hoped Pokémon would allow children to explore and collect creatures in a digital world, even as the natural one disappeared. When the first Pokémon video games came out in Japan in 1996, few insiders expected them to become a global hit. Yet the Pokémon craze swept across the world, achieving huge commercial success. 3 It even outperforms classic series like Star Wars and Marvel, with a total revenue of $150 billion. Why has it gained such massive popularity? Two typical Japanese cultural elements account for this: kawaii, or cuteness reflected in Pokémon’s lovely appearances, and geek(怪人) culture, in which fans enjoy classifying creatures’ appearances and traits. 4 Hence, it paved the way for the global success of later Japanese anime works. 5 For children, it provides an immersive fictional world with diverse games, cartoons and dolls. For adults, it brings a precious sense of calm and comfort. Undoubtedly, when the fans, be it children or adults, come flooding to PokéPark show, Pokémon captures everyone’s heart. A. Amazingly, Pokémon managed to win over people of all ages. B. Pokémon has become one of the world’s most profitable series. C. He then came up with the idea of creating digital fictional creatures. D. The new theme park has attracted countless global tourists every year. E. These made Pokémon the key for Westerners to unlock Japanese culture. F. He then decided to design Pokémon theme parks for insect-loving children. G. Its widespread popularity traces back to the global rise of the Pokémon series. Passage 2 (2026届山西金科大联考高三年级下学期4月末联考)“Most of our students are functionally illiterate. 6 ” That line, from a college professor quoted by writer Derek Thompson in his essay, The End of Thinking, sounds exaggerated(夸张) until you look at the trends. North American educators say students struggle to follow long written arguments. Many can decode words, but not sustain attention. 7 Studies on how people spend their time show that reading for fun has dropped sharply, especially among the young. They are not unable to read — they write texts, scroll through posts, and communicate online all the time. 8 Mr. Thompson calls this a “thinning of thought.” He means that slowly, we are losing our ability to think about complex ideas, examine evidence, and accept uncertainty. Neuroscience(神经科学) backs up what many humanists have felt. Reading does not simply fill the mind. 9 In a major imaging study, French brain scientist Stanislas Dehaene and his team compared three groups of adults: those who learned to read as children, those who learned later in life, and those who never learned to read. They found that reading reorganizes the brain’s connections. It strengthens links between the brain’s visual and language areas. It also improves hearing skills, and makes people more aware of speech sounds. 10 Picking up a book is no longer just a personal activity. In a world full of distractions, it is an act we do for our communities and our minds. Every time we sit with a book — patient, focused, following an idea or a story — we are rebuilding the brain paths of reason and understanding that our society depends on. A. It reshapes it. B. This is not a joke. C. At the same time, people are reading less. D. But they are losing the habit of reading deeply. E. This study was one of the largest of its kind ever done in America. F. The act of reading brings sight and language together for understanding. G. Many students now prefer watching videos to reading books in their free time. Passage 3 (2026届浙江宁波市镇海中学高三模拟预测英语试题) An important part of raising your children is teaching them good manners as it helps them be more successful in life. 11 Here are some “old-fashioned” but important manners for your modern kids. Saying “thank you” to service workers Saying “thank you” is the base of all good manners but these days many children overlook thanking the people that help them in many little ways each day, like wait staff, store clerks, and bus drivers. It’s not just about politeness but about teaching children to recognize and acknowledge others’ contributions as valuable. 12 Taking turns talking Teach your children to tap your arm and then wait patiently for you to acknowledge them before speaking. If they do interrupt, calmly tell them it’s rude to interrupt and let them know you’ll acknowledge them shortly. 13 Offer your children the same politeness and don’t interrupt them when it’s their turn to talk. Using their indoor voices 14 A parent should teach their children early on how to moderate their volume and tone based on the situation. You can make it into a fun game for little ones, like seeing who can whisper the quietest at a cinema. Covering a cough or sneeze These days, it’s more important than ever to teach children to cough or sneeze into a tissue or their elbow. It’s not just a matter of hygiene(卫生) — no one enjoys getting sprayed. 15 Don’t forget to teach them to say “excuse me” after. A. Remember it goes both ways. B. Consequently it makes others feel cared about. C. Games are very important for children’s good manners. D. Crying, laughing, or just talking, children can be very loud. E. Lacking basic manners will affect kids in all areas of their lives. F. It is also a way to help others feel safe and comfortable around you. G. Eventually it’s about teaching them not to treat others as their servants. Passage 4 (2026届河北秦皇岛市山海关第一中学高三年级下学期第二次模拟考试)When talking about fitness, most of us will think of six-pack stomach muscles. We often take these as a sign of good health, but actually they tell little about healthy aging. Many even mix these surface muscles up with core strength. The core is far more than visible abdominal(腹部的) muscles. It is a connected system of deep muscles like the side stomach muscles and back spine muscles, working together. 16 This system helps keep the backbone steady, controls pressure inside the stomach, and works as the base for nearly all movements, including breathing and lifting daily things. The side stomach muscles are a typical example. 17 By contrast, surface abdominal exercises like situps for six-packs do not serve the real goal. These workouts target only a small part of the abdominal muscles and engage just the surface ones, while they are neglecting the deep core muscles that play an important part in keeping the body stable for a long time and preventing pain. 18 They help improve abdominal endurance and shape a firm waist, a beauty goal many people strive for. The key point is that for those who prioritize long-term health over the appearance of six-pack muscles, focusing on deep core strength training is essential. 19 Developing core strength reduces the risk of falls by 40% in seniors, improves posture, and helps keep independence in daily activities like dressing and bathing in later life. All these abilities depend on stable spinal support. 20 After all, for graceful aging, consistent simple daily practices such as abdominal breathing or consciously using the core while walking are far more effective than high-intensity gym workouts. A. Its real value is supporting key body functions. B. Nevertheless, such exercises are not entirely useless. C. Importantly, effective core training doesn’t need much effort. D. Building core strength improves lifelong health and self-reliance. E. Using core strength naturally in daily activities brings good results. F. Stretching regularly eases muscle tightness and boosts daily flexibility. G. These muscles support the middle of the body and help reduce back pain. Passage 5 (2026届安徽省滁州市定远县育才学校模拟预测英语试题)Listen to the way you talk about your own life on a daily basis. I am not talking about your formal presentations; I am talking about your casual, throwaway complaints. “My luck is absolutely terrible.” “I cannot handle this anymore.” You think you are just complaining to your friends or to yourself. 21 You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment. 22 And your brain does not understand self-deprecating(自嘲), and it does not know when you are just joking. Your subconscious mind is a perfectly obedient(顺从的) servant. It listens to every single word that comes out of your mouth. Then it treats it as a direct command, and immediately searches for evidence to prove you right. You keep complaining “I am completely stuck.” 23 It stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one. 24 Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.” They never ask, “Why is this happening to me?” They ask, “What is this trying to teach me?” This subtle linguistic anchor is not just cheap self-help phrases. It is a fundamental reshape of your mindset. It shifts your identity from a passive victim to an active creator. It is time to be serious about what you say. 25 Stop using your own mouth to curse(诅咒) the beautiful life you are trying to build. You must cultivate the courage to speak highly of yourself, your capabilities, and your future. Speak like a winner, and the world will eventually have no choice but to agree A. You have already put huge pressure on your friends B. Your words are the invisible architecture of your reality. C. In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path. D. But negative language patterns don’t make the suffering hurt less. E. When your current reality looks depressing, use negative. F. Your brain accordingly shuts down its creative problem-solving centers. G. I see many brilliant people who live by a value system of self-encouragement. Passage 6 (2026届湖南长沙市弘益高级中学有限公司高三考前模拟英语试题)The advent of high-tech era is still based on the development of human ability to use tools. 26 . The positive aspects of these abilities were dug out by human survival instinct, while the negative ones were ignored because they were insignificant. When organized civilization began to appear on the earth, people began to make vehicles. 27 . On the contrary, they made the burden of slaves heavier and increased the possibility of civilian uprising.   During the alternation period between the Middle Ages and the modern world from the 17th to the 19th centuries, when the industrial revolution was flourishing, there were many great inventions in the hands of human beings, such as the steam engine and many factories. 28 . The positive side provided a solid foundation for scientific exploration, greatly enhanced the power, and greatly enhanced the carrying capacity. The negative side is that the environmental pollution is greatly aggravated. In the 20th century, mankind began to use nuclear energy, and the advantages gained from the 17th to 19th centuries continued to grow substantially. 29 . But at the same time, the negative effects were also increasing secretly. The leakage of nuclear energy makes the economy of some countries face collapse (such as Japan), and as long as a terrorist has mastered the code for launching a nuclear bomb, human life in the world will be at stake. In the 21st century, the positive and negative aspects brought about by nuclear deterrence have stabilized and stopped growing. 30 . But the disadvantages are inevitable. For example, the Internet makes many netizens addicted to the Internet, the network crime is rampant, and the development of artificial intelligence to a certain extent may produce self-consciousness, and it is possible to resist human beings with its high intelligence. As for the follow-up, we can only see how human beings decide their own direction. A. From ancient times, human beings began to learn to use stone axes to cut down trees and drill wood for fire. B. In addition, nuclear deterrence stabilized the world situation, especially with the coming of the next World War. C. The positive and negative aspects increased in proportion. D. On the positive side, they mainly enhanced the carrying capacity and had more functions. E. We should treat the rapid development of science and technology with correct eyes. F. However, the Internet, artificial intelligence, new energy development and other emerging fields have greatly benefited mankind. G. So we should resist the bad factors to promote the further development of science and technology. 考向三 记叙文 Passage 1 (2026届江西三九校联考高三联合质量检测英语试题)I have always loved to travel and experience new things and for many years my travels were one big checklist with flights from city to city, “must-do lists” and pins on Google maps. 1 Maybe it started after the pandemic, when we were all forced to learn to appreciate the little things in everyday life. Or maybe I have always had some slow travel tendencies in me. 2 Not rushing with a pre-determined plan, but taking the time to get to know the area. Having time to wander casually along towards the little handwritten sign and not just visiting popular scenic spots. What I discovered when I started to slow down, was that I SAW more. I found small family vineyards that no guidebook or influencer would ever discover. I had time to talk to the people I met, and I took the time to sit down at a small cafe that no one would ever recommend. 3 One thing I have also discovered, as a result of my slower travel, is that I very rarely book my trips far in advance these days. A good example is this summer’s road trip, where the route and final destination in France were decided two days before departure. There was no must-do list to check off, there were no map pins that needed to be visited. 4 What we managed to do, we managed to do. What we didn’t manage to do, we’ll do next time. It’s always possible to go back to a destination that you don’t feel finished with — one of the reasons why I’ve visited Australia six times and will probably never feel finished with that country. Another aspect that is important for the future of travel is sustainability. Staying longer in one place lowers carbon emissions, helps boost local economy and lets you enjoy authentic local life. You also have more time to walk and cycle instead of driving. Fewer transports, fewer international chains, fewer travel days. 5 Is slow travel perhaps also a counter-reaction to flight shame, environmental anxiety and consumerism? A. It is wise to make full preparations before setting off. B. It feels good for both the environment and your wallet. C. Yet gradually I changed my way of travelling unconsciously. D. I used to attach great importance to taking beautiful travel photos. E. For me, slow travel is about getting to know a place a little more thoroughly. F. I experienced more, felt more and became more focused on the present moment. G. Every day on site I found a few new places that I wanted to visit and experience. Passage 2 (2026年浙江宁波市镇海中学 5月高三高考模拟英语试题)I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling(刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. 6 I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays. Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine(咖啡因). But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. 7 That had never happened before. Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. 8 On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day. 9 On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding. By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. 10 Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds. A. But lately, I noticed the weight it carried. B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward. C. I even finished a chapter before checking the time. D. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking. E. It made me realize how popular phones are nowadays. F. Some mornings I spent more time reflecting than moving. G. It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety. Passage 3 (2026届湖北黄冈市黄梅县育才高级中学高三考前模拟预测)On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake(雪花) with the device. 11 When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. Bentley then spent 2 years figuring out how to take a picture of a snowflake under a microscope. On January 15, 1885, he did it, creating the world’s first photomicrograph. 12 Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw(吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. Taking photomicrographs was only half of a long process. In those days, glass plates(感光板) were used to take photographs. Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. 13 Bentley shared his snowflakes with anyone interested. He sold prints of his photomicrographs for 5 cents each. He wrote articles for scientists and for magazines such as National Geographic. Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. 14 At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” 15 In 1920, Bentley was elected as one of the first members of the American Meteorological Society, which later awarded him its first research grant in 1924. A. Still, he never stopped. B. The process was difficult and cold. C. Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. D. Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. E. Sometimes he handled the snowflake with a feather. F. He dedicated himself to observing flakes of snow for 60 years. G. This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. Passage 4 (2026届河南省开封市高三考前模拟) Small acts of volunteering, big gains for everyone When our class first discussed volunteering at a local nursing home, I hesitated. I worried I couldn’t start up a conversation with the elderly and feared the experience would be awkward. 16 Little did I know this small step would bring unexpected joy to both sides. On our first visit, we prepared simple activities: reading stories, chatting, and assisting with chores like folding clothes. 17 One elderly lady who’d been a rural teacher in her prime shared stories of educating mountain kids; another taught us to knit scarves with old wool. We laughed at her amusing stories and felt warmth at her sincerity. The feared awkwardness never came — instead, a natural bond formed. As visits became regular, we explored new ways to lend a hand. 18 We also brought homemade paper-cuts and small gifts, which lit up their ordinary days. Some classmates even taught elders to use smartphones for video calls — their tearful smiles when seeing loved ones were priceless. Volunteering didn’t just benefit the elderly — we’d initially thought we were the only givers. 19 I grew more confident in communicating across ages and learned to listen attentively. My classmates and I bonded as we cooperated to make visits meaningful, realizing small efforts beat grand gestures. By the end of the semester, we felt a bit of sorrow wrapping up the project. 20 What’s more, we have come to understand that mutual nature of kindness.

Passage 5 (2025-2026学年度湖南省常德市上学期2月高三检测考试)Holding a solo concert is a milestone for any musician. 21 For Clara Reed, there is an additional challenge: She has been deaf since she was 12 years old. For the past three years, Clara, now 15, has been overcoming her disability to achieve this goal. “I got tired of relying on others. Why not try to feel the music myself ?” she explains. 22 Then she got bored again and tried vibrating(震动) floor mats to feel the rhythm and strength of each note. Then came months of patient practice, alone in a quiet room 23 She understood it by feeling the vibrations of the keys and using her hand memory. She also used special software that turns sound into visual signals, helping her match the speed and volume of the music. Now, after practicing hundreds of pieces from memory independently, Clara has gradually reduced her reliance on others. “At first, I had to concentrate hard to ‘hear’ the music through my hands and eyes. Now, it feels almost natural,” she explains. 24 “I made quite many mistakes in the beginning — like hitting the wrong keys — but I quickly adjust,” she laughs. 25 The freedom and confidence she has built through independent practice are vast, not only elevating her skills as well as providing inspiration to others. “I can’t hide the fact that I’m deaf,” she says, “but I can play like everyone else and not be treated differently.” A. That’s not to say the learning process is easy. B. Repeating is important for playing hard pieces. C. As a result, she learned the entire Chopin piece. D. She began by practicing simple melodies in silence. E. It gives her an opportunity to share the stage with everyone. F. This poses extreme physical and mental challenges for anyone. G. Clara believes independence outweighs any fear of mistakes. Passage 6 (2026届广东佛山市顺德高三考前保温试题英语)Relocating from one country to another is exciting, but it is also a challenging experience. Shifting to a completely new culture almost always results in a culture shock for all people. 26 Some hardly notice its effect at all, while others can find it very difficult to adapt to their new environment. I grew up in a small town in Slovakia, where most of the information I had about America came from its movies, and the purpose of them is always to entertain viewers, while details of American life may not be precisely described. I had imagined a thousand possibilities of what life in America would be like. 27 Americans find it easy to make casual friends. They become friends first and build trust later if at all. Americans make friends and become relatively close in no time. 28 In my culture, we believe in building friendships and staying connected after the trust is built. Only after coming to America did I realize that my self-identification as a reserved person is part of my cultural identity with Slovakian culture. 29 Americans find it uncomfortable if others stand too close. When friends or family greet, they give a short hug and step aside to have some distance for conversation. We Slovakian people like to speak sitting or standing close to each other. Also, it’s considered disrespectful to keep a large distance during the conversation. Part of the excitement of living in a new culture is learning about how it differs from my own culture. 30 By learning to understand and navigate the culture of another country, I have become a more open-minded person. It has taught me to shape my own cultural identity. A. But it’s easy for them to disappear from one another’s life. B. Different people might experience culture shock differently. C. It is therefore necessary to know how to handle culture shock. D. I always compare my values and customs with those in America. E. Another shocking observation for me was the informality of the Americans. F. American culture is also different from mine in terms of a sense of personal space. G. But I had never expected that I would have a culture shock once I was actually there. 考向四 议论文 Passage 1 (2026届四川省彭州中学高三下学期第一次高考模拟考试) Why Does Tutoring Not Always Work? For years, private tutoring has been viewed as a shortcut to better grades. Parents invest heavily in after-school classes, believing that more instruction will naturally lead to academic improvement. Yet many students find themselves trapped in a frustrating cycle: the more they study, the worse their performance becomes. 1 One crucial factor is the concept of “diminishing returns.” While additional practice helps up to a point, excessive tutoring can lead to mental exhaustion. When students spend their evenings and weekends in extra classes on top of regular school, their brains have no time to rest and consolidate information. 2 Instead of absorbing new material, they sit through sessions in a half-focused state, learning little despite the hours invested. Another key factor is the loss of intrinsic motivation. Students who are constantly told what to do by tutors may never develop the ability to learn independently. 3 Over time, studying becomes something done for others — parents or teachers — rather than for personal growth. When external pressure is removed, these students often struggle to organize their own learning. Research has also identified what scholars call the “placebo effect” of tutoring. Studies using rigorous statistical methods have found that while tutoring shows little to no positive impact on test scores, it does significantly reduce negative emotions such as sadness and anxiety. 4 Parents and students continue to pay for classes not because they improve grades, but because the act of attending relieves the fear of falling behind. Finally, the quality of tutoring matters enormously. Large classes where students simply listen to lectures replicate the problems of regular schooling rather than solving them. 5 Without this personalization, tutoring becomes merely an extension of the classroom — longer hours, but not better learning. Ultimately, the evidence suggests that tutoring is not a magical solution. More hours do not guarantee better results; what matters is how those hours are used and whether the student remains mentally fresh and internally driven. A. As a result, their performance may actually decline with increased study time. B. This explains why the tutoring industry continues to grow despite weak evidence for its academic effectiveness. C. What works best is individualized instruction that targets a student's specific weaknesses. D. The following reasons may help explain why tutoring sometimes fails to deliver expected results. E. They become passive receivers of knowledge rather than active seekers. F. Interestingly, tutoring has been shown to have the strongest effects in mathematics and sciences. G. Once tutoring time exceeds four hours per day, its positive effect on academic performance no longer remains significant. Passage 2 (2026届山东省九五高中协作体高考最后一卷英语试题)We all play little mind games. We set clocks ahead to avoid being late. 6 Some imagine the worst, just to scare themselves into working harder. Different tricks, same purpose: to push ourselves when our own motivation isn’t enough. These tricks are especially common among people who feel they must be perfect for everyone else. These people think the world expects them to nail everything, to never say “I can’t.” For them, doing something isn’t about the thing itself — it’s about not letting anyone down. So here’s the real question: Are you doing this because you want to, or because you’re afraid of what happens if you don’t? 7 A little trick here and there? No big deal. The trouble starts when you can’t stop. When you care too much about what others think, you reach for these tricks all the time. Over time, they stop being tricks. 8 And they become hard to spot — even in yourself. Think of a kid who keeps playing a sport just to make his parents proud. He might love the game, but that’s not why he’s out there. 9 So he stays. But anger builds. He can’t be mad at his parents, so he aims it at the other team. Beating them becomes his proof that he’s good enough. This anger becomes his fuel. But look closer: he’s not playing to win. He’s playing to survive. 10 But there’s a difference between using one now and then, and building your whole life on them. So it’s worth asking: Do I want to spend my whole life just getting by? A. They become who you are. B. We all need these tricks sometimes. C. For these people, it’s almost always fear. D. Quitting would feel like letting them down. E. They turn into tools you use without thinking. F. Pushing yourself a little harder is never a bad thing. G. Athletes find reasons to get fired up against opponents. Passage 3 (2026届湖南省高三全真模拟适应性考试英语试题)I typed a few words into an AI painting tool — “a quiet forest after rain, soft light” — and within seconds, an image appeared on my screen. The colors were perfectly integrated, the composition balanced. 11 A piece of art — created without brushes, paints, or years of training. There is no need to worry about technique, inspiration, or even making mistakes. Dozens of variations can be generated in minutes with simple text commands. 12 It quickly removes all the barriers that traditional artistic creation often involves — the long hours of practice, the uncertainty of each brushstroke, the frustration of failed attempts. For someone who has never held a brush properly, this felt almost like magic. 13 As I scrolled through the almost perfect and pleasing images, I felt no connection to these images, as if they belonged to no one. They carried no trace of struggle, no evidence of human hesitation or discovery. 14 Something essential was missing — the tension between intention and accident, the emotional weight carried by every deliberate stroke. Some emotions only emerge when we face uncertainty, make mistakes, and learn from them. Without that process, the image becomes a product, not a story. AI painting will undoubtedly continue to improve, producing images that are increasingly complex and visually stunning. But this development raises a deeper question: what do we value in art? Is it only the final image we admire, or is it also the story behind its creation — It requires patience, self-doubt and a willingness to embrace the unknown and imperfect. 15 A. This distinction, I believe, is very clear. B. Even the atmosphere was exactly as I had imagined. C. The lines were too smooth, the harmony too perfect. D. AI-generated art is fast, efficient, and accessible to anyone. E. My hands felt restless after staring at the generated pictures. F. Yet this convenience may weaken our sense of human effort in art. G. Perhaps that is what we truly value — the human journey behind the image. Passage 4 (2026届江苏无锡市南菁高级中学高三下学期考前学情自测英语试卷)In today’s world, there are many voices of opposition to the regulations on wearing school uniforms. Some argue uniforms are restrictive and take away individuality. 16 Uniforms reduce peer(同辈) pressure and conflict. When students come to school dressed in their own clothes, they may feel pressure to keep up with the latest trends or worry about what their peers might think. This can lead to feelings of anxiety and social exclusion. 17 No one child is better or worse off because of what they are wearing. This removes the constant comparisons and competition that can be stressful for some students, and instead, establishes a sense of belonging and community. Wearing a uniform also simplifies the lives of parents and teachers. There is no more worrying about what to wear or stressing about finding the perfect clothing for a special occasion. Parents can distribute more time and resources to their children’s education, and teachers can focus on teaching, rather than policing students’ dress codes. 18 Sustainability and reusability are their main characteristics. When students wear the same uniform, they feel a sense of belonging and identity with their school. 19 Uniforms reflect the values and principles of a school, such as teamwork, discipline, and respect, which are essential for a positive and productive learning environment. 20 It requires careful consideration of the benefits and drawbacks, as well as consultation with all interested parties. By weighing the pros and cons, schools can make an informed decision that prioritizes the well-being of all students. A. Virtually, uniforms benefit at least three sides. B. This can lead to a sense of pride in their school. C. However, adopting a school uniform policy is not easy. D. Uniforms reduce waste and the impact of fast fashion. E. By wearing uniforms, they are on a same level playing field. F. Nowadays, simple uniforms have already taken schools by storm. G. Others claim school uniforms create a positive learning environment. Passage 5 (2025-2026学年江西乐平市第四中学上学期高三英语期末)Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing how we work, create, and interact. AI use cases across industries are transforming and personalizing experiences. 21 AI in Action At the core of AI technology lies the abilities to analyze vast amounts of data, recognize patterns, and make decisions at a speed and scale beyond human abilities. 22 They help individuals and enterprises worldwide unlock new levels of creativity, discovery, and efficiency.

Passage 6 (2025-2026学年浙江宁波市镇海中学高三上学期模拟预测英语试题)Psychologists and researchers have reached an agreement: personal growth is not about avoiding pain, but about continuous struggle and transformation. 26 Many people mistakenly view life as a smooth journey, a belief that gradually weakens their courage and inner strength. Yet the moment we start facing, accepting, and growing from hardships, we rediscover the true strength of the human spirit. Many people today feel stuck in life, especially when confronting setbacks, failures, or emotional pressure. 27 They escape from challenges, avoid difficulties, and give up easily without self-reflection. Modern psychology shows that genuine maturity only occurs when people connect painful experiences with their own thinking, thereby developing new inner strength. A recent study of more than 15,000 people across different age groups found that those who consistently faced difficulties bravely and grew through pain achieved significantly better long-term mental health. 28 The true source of this inner strength lies in what psychologists call “dark resilience”. It breaks through the limitations of a comfortable life, transforming passive avoidance into active growth. 29 Instead of merely running from pain, wise people constantly ask themselves: “Why did this happen? What can I learn? How can I become stronger?” — transforming struggle into strength. This mindset helps them rebuild their world, discover new rules of life, and cultivate their own unique inner power. In a complex and uncertain world, the ability to grow from pain is far more valuable than the pursuit of simple happiness. 30 Once you take this step, you will not only become more mature, but also shape a strong, brave and resilient mind for life. The future belongs not to those who avoid pain most skillfully, but to those who grow and transform through it bravely. A. Embrace pain as your teacher, and cultivate your inner dark resilience. B. They believe that happiness means a life free from any trouble or difficulty. C. This shows that avoiding pain brings only short-term comfort but long-term weakness. D. This pattern of growth through struggle reveals the very essence of real inner strength. E. They feel anxious and depressed, yet fail to recognize that pain is a natural part of growth. F. This view, however, is often overlooked by those who expect life to be easy and comfortable. G. It teaches people to see difficulties not as punishments but as opportunities to grow stronger. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 18 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 综合专题04 阅读理解七选五(24篇) 考向一 方法/策略(说明文) Passage 1 1. E 2.

We often struggle with endless worries, messy thoughts and tiring to-do lists that leave us mentally exhausted. 6 Thankfully, here are some practical and evidence-based ways to ease our mental pressure and regain calmness in daily life. • Write about your problems. Writing down what makes you feel stressed is more helpful than you think. Research has shown that expressive writing can reduce troubling thoughts and improve your working memory. 7 Just let your words flow freely on the paper without self-criticism. Doing this every day can prevent messy thoughts from piling up and weighing you down. • 8 A recent study has found that people need nearly 23 minutes to fully regain focus after an unexpected disturbance. Frequent distractions will only leave you feeling anxious and inefficient. To solve this problem, you can identify common disturbances like social media updates and email notices. Set fixed periods to deal with them so that you can save your cognitive energy for key tasks. • Connect physically. Rather than keeping to yourself when feeling stressed, try to stay close to people who care about you. 9 Studies have made it clear that warm physical touch can lower stress levels and improve your overall sense of well-being. Even small gentle touches can create a strong feeling of comfort and calmness. • Learn to refuse politely. Overwhelm often comes from taking on too many unnecessary responsibilities. You can list things you plan to say “no” to, such as after-work emails or meaningless events. 10 Only in this way can you put them into what really matters and improve your mental health. A. Schedule interruptions. B. Manage time reasonably. C. This daily practice helps clear your mind effectively. D. Saying no to extra assignments improves your work efficiency. E. You can hug your family or hold hands with your close friends. F. Such a state can greatly impact our mood and daily performance. G.

For example, instead of saying, “Don’t run,” say, “Please walk.” 15 A. Encourage camper ideas. B. Always be patient when resolving conflicts. C. Campers want to feel heard and understood. D.

By developing a few strategies and methods, you can finally get control of your clutter. 17 Your desktop should be clean and file-free. Not only does a cluttered desktop slow down your computer, but it also makes finding things painfully slow. Instead, you can create a basic folder structure inside your documents folder. For me, I have two basics folders, one called “work” and the other called “personal.” Inside of these, I have subfolders organized according to my different roles or categories. 18 . Set a weekly time to declutter your devices We take a picture, and we just leave it in our photo album. Over time we end up with thousands of photos in our electronic photo albums that are not worth keeping. I spend around ten minutes on the weekend deleting all the images I no longer want to keep. If you want to stay clutter-free, this habit will reward you. 19 . Not doing so means you will end up having to spend a day or two just dealing with everything. Do a little, often 20 . Clear out your email inbox every day, delete screenshots from your desktop and empty your bag at the end of the week, and throw away anything you no longer need. Doing a little often makes things so much easier, and you do not have that mental backlog creeping up on you. In short, getting organized and keeping clutter at bay is achievable through practical, consistent steps. These habits not only save time and reduce stress but also help you maintain a more orderly and manageable daily routine. A. Make it a habit to clear your desktop annually B.

It has a special flavor full of tropical sweetness, and it is easy to take with you when you go to work or just stay at home for a casual snack. 21 Here are clear and practical steps to help you pick, prepare and eat fresh passion fruit. ●Pick ripe passion fruit. 22 You are supposed to pick the ones that are slightly wrinkled and in deep purple color — these are the ones that have ripened the most and will be the sweetest. Since people only eat the inner flesh instead of the outer skin, how clean the skin looks doesn’t matter too much. In general, the softer the fruit shell feels, the riper it will be. ● 23 You should grab a passion fruit and shake it. If you feel a lot of liquid or pressure in there, that means there are a lot of seeds and liquid, which means a lot of deliciousness to eat. You can also determine the flavor if you smell the fruit. If it has a lot of tropical aromas(香气), then it will taste good. If you can’t smell anything, it’ll probably either be too sour or tasteless. ●Wash your passion fruit. Once you have purchased the passion fruit, ensure that you wash it carefully even though we never eat its skin. 24 When an unwashed passion fruit is cut, the knife carries the bacteria from the skin through the flesh of the fruit. ● Scoop the passion fruit. You can cut the cleaned fruit into halves and scoop out the orange flesh with a spoon. Try to let as little of the juice as possible run out of the fruit (because it’s delicious.) 25 Don’t scrape the skin too hard because the white layer is bitter and tastes bad. A. Squeeze passion fruit. B. Check by shaking and smelling. C. Consider the texture of the passion fruit’s skin. D. Shaking the fruit is the best way to know its flavor. E. However, it takes some simple skills to enjoy its best flavor. F. You will see that the orange flesh is separated from the white skin. G. It can keep harmful chemicals and bacteria away from your mouth. 【答案】21. E 22. C 23. B 24. G 25.

(你应该选择那些略微皱褶且呈深紫色的——这些是最成熟的，味道也最甜。)”详细说明了通过观察果皮的褶皱、颜色和软硬度来判断成熟度。C选项“Consider the texture of the passion fruit’s skin.(考虑百香果皮的质地。)”概括了本段通过果皮质地(皱褶、颜色、软硬)来挑选成熟果实的核心内容，符合题意。 23. 下文“You should grab a passion fruit and shake it. If you feel a lot of liquid or pressure in there, that means there are a lot of seeds and liquid, which means a lot of deliciousness to eat. You can also determine the flavor if you smell the fruit.(百香果你应该拿一个，摇晃一下。如果感觉里面有大量液体或压力，说明里面有很多种子和汁液，意味着可以吃到很多美味。你也可以通过闻一闻水果的气味来判断它的味道。)”介绍了通过摇晃和闻气味来判断百香果的品质。B选项“Check by shaking and smelling.(通过摇晃和闻气味来检查。)”恰好概括了本段的两个核心方法——摇晃和闻香，且作为小标题格式与其他小标题一致，符合题意。 24. 根据本段段旨“Wash your passion fruit.( 清洗你的百香果。)”强调本段段旨为清洗百香果。同时空前“Once you have purchased the passion fruit, ensure that you wash it carefully even though we never eat its skin.(购买百香果后，请务必仔细清洗，尽管我们从不食用其果皮。)”强调即使不吃果皮也要清洗；同时下文“When an unwashed passion fruit is cut, the knife carries the bacteria from the skin through the flesh of the fruit.(当未清洗的百香果被切开时，刀具会将细菌从果皮带入果肉中。)”解释了不清洗的危害——刀具会将细菌带入果肉。G选项“It can keep harmful chemicals and bacteria away from your mouth.(它可以使有害化学物质和细菌远离你的嘴巴。)”说明了清洗果皮的目的，与上下文逻辑一致，符合题意。 25. 上文“You can cut the cleaned fruit into halves and scoop out the orange flesh with a spoon. Try to let as little of the juice as possible run out of the fruit (because it’s delicious.) (你可以将清洗好的水果切成两半，然后用勺子舀出橙肉。尽量让果汁尽可能少地流出(因为味道很好)。)”说明切开百香果后用勺子舀出橙色果肉；下文“Don’t scrape the skin too hard because the white layer is bitter and tastes bad.(不要刮得太狠，因为表皮的白色部分味道苦涩。)”提醒不要刮到白色层因为会苦。F选项“You will see that the orange flesh is separated from the white skin.(你会看到橙色果肉与白色果皮是分开的。)”承上启下，先说明切开后能看到橙色果肉与白色果皮的分离，再引出下文不要刮到白色层的提醒，符合题意。 Passage 6 (2027届湖南长沙市金秋方舟高级中学有限公司高三考前模拟英语试题)Growing a garden is great fun.

Fans are wildly enthusiastic about its opening, as tickets for the park’s first three months were sold out instantly. 1 Curious about its origin? Let’s dig deeper! Pokémon was created by Tajiri Satoshi, who grew up in the suburbs of Tokyo. As a child he was fascinated by collecting insects, but urban development quickly swallowed nearby fields and ponds. 2 He hoped Pokémon would allow children to explore and collect creatures in a digital world, even as the natural one disappeared. When the first Pokémon video games came out in Japan in 1996, few insiders expected them to become a global hit. Yet the Pokémon craze swept across the world, achieving huge commercial success. 3 It even outperforms classic series like Star Wars and Marvel, with a total revenue of $150 billion. Why has it gained such massive popularity? Two typical Japanese cultural elements account for this: kawaii, or cuteness reflected in Pokémon’s lovely appearances, and geek(怪人) culture, in which fans enjoy classifying creatures’ appearances and traits. 4 Hence, it paved the way for the global success of later Japanese anime works. 5 For children, it provides an immersive fictional world with diverse games, cartoons and dolls. For adults, it brings a precious sense of calm and comfort. Undoubtedly, when the fans, be it children or adults, come flooding to PokéPark show, Pokémon captures everyone’s heart. A.

North American educators say students struggle to follow long written arguments. Many can decode words, but not sustain attention. 7 Studies on how people spend their time show that reading for fun has dropped sharply, especially among the young. They are not unable to read — they write texts, scroll through posts, and communicate online all the time. 8 Mr. Thompson calls this a “thinning of thought.” He means that slowly, we are losing our ability to think about complex ideas, examine evidence, and accept uncertainty. Neuroscience(神经科学) backs up what many humanists have felt. Reading does not simply fill the mind. 9 In a major imaging study, French brain scientist Stanislas Dehaene and his team compared three groups of adults: those who learned to read as children, those who learned later in life, and those who never learned to read. They found that reading reorganizes the brain’s connections. It strengthens links between the brain’s visual and language areas. It also improves hearing skills, and makes people more aware of speech sounds. 10 Picking up a book is no longer just a personal activity. In a world full of distractions, it is an act we do for our communities and our minds. Every time we sit with a book — patient, focused, following an idea or a story — we are rebuilding the brain paths of reason and understanding that our society depends on. A. It reshapes it. B. This is not a joke. C. At the same time, people are reading less. D. But they are losing the habit of reading deeply. E. This study was one of the largest of its kind ever done in America. F. The act of reading brings sight and language together for understanding. G. Many students now prefer watching videos to reading books in their free time. 【答案】6. B 7. C 8. D 9. A 10.

It strengthens links between the brain’s visual and language areas. It also improves hearing skills, and makes people more aware of speech sounds.(他们发现阅读重组大脑的连接。它加强了大脑视觉和语言区域之间的联系。它还提高听力技能，使人们更清楚地意识到语音。)”提到阅读对大脑的多种积极影响。F选项“The act of reading brings sight and language together for understanding.(阅读的行为将视觉和语言结合在一起以促进理解。)”是对前文“加强视觉和语言区域联系”的总结升华，既承接了前文的神经科学研究结果，又引出后文“阅读是为社区和思想而做的行为”的观点，逻辑收尾完美。 Passage 3 (2026届浙江宁波市镇海中学高三模拟预测英语试题) An important part of raising your children is teaching them good manners as it helps them be more successful in life. 11 Here are some “old-fashioned” but important manners for your modern kids. Saying “thank you” to service workers Saying “thank you” is the base of all good manners but these days many children overlook thanking the people that help them in many little ways each day, like wait staff, store clerks, and bus drivers. It’s not just about politeness but about teaching children to recognize and acknowledge others’ contributions as valuable. 12 Taking turns talking Teach your children to tap your arm and then wait patiently for you to acknowledge them before speaking. If they do interrupt, calmly tell them it’s rude to interrupt and let them know you’ll acknowledge them shortly. 13 Offer your children the same politeness and don’t interrupt them when it’s their turn to talk. Using their indoor voices 14 A parent should teach their children early on how to moderate their volume and tone based on the situation. You can make it into a fun game for little ones, like seeing who can whisper the quietest at a cinema. Covering a cough or sneeze These days, it’s more important than ever to teach children to cough or sneeze into a tissue or their elbow. It’s not just a matter of hygiene(卫生) — no one enjoys getting sprayed. 15 Don’t forget to teach them to say “excuse me” after. A. Remember it goes both ways. B. Consequently it makes others feel cared about. C. Games are very important for children’s good manners. D. Crying, laughing, or just talking, children can be very loud. E. Lacking basic manners will affect kids in all areas of their lives. F. It is also a way to help others feel safe and comfortable around you. G. Eventually it’s about teaching them not to treat others as their servants. 【答案】11. E 12. G 13. A 14. D 15. F 【语篇导读】文章主要介绍培养孩子良好礼仪的重要性，并列举了五种适合现代孩子学习的传统礼仪，分别是向服务人员道谢、轮流交谈、控制室内音量、咳嗽打喷嚏遮挡口鼻，同时讲解每种礼仪的教育意义与做法。 11. 根据前文“An important part of raising your children is teaching them good manners as it helps them be more successful in life.(养育孩子很重要的一环是教会他们良好的礼仪，因为这有助于他们在人生中取得更大的成功)”和空后“Here are some “old-fashioned” but important manners for your modern kids.(以下是为现代孩子准备的一些“老派”但重要的礼仪)”可知，空格处承接上文礼仪有益的观点，进一步说明缺乏礼仪会带来负面影响，起到承上启下的作用；选项E“Lacking basic manners will affect kids in all areas of their lives.(缺少基本礼仪会在生活方方面面影响孩子)”符合原文逻辑。 12. 根据前文“It’s not just about politeness but about teaching children to recognize and acknowledge others’ contributions as valuable.(这不仅仅关乎礼貌，更是教会孩子认可并重视他人的付出)”可知，本句点明向服务人员道谢的深层教育意义，空格处应延续这一深层内涵；选项G“Eventually it’s about teaching them not to treat others as their servants.(归根结底，这是教会他们不要把别人当作佣人使唤)”承接上文，拓展该礼仪的教育核心，逻辑通顺。 13. 根据前文“If they do interrupt, calmly tell them it’s rude to interrupt and let them know you’ll acknowledge them shortly.(如果他们打断别人说话，平静地告诉他们打断他人是不礼貌的，并告诉他们你很快就会回应他们)”和空后“Offer your children the same politeness and don’t interrupt them when it’s their turn to talk.(给予孩子同等的礼貌，轮到他们说话时不要打断他们)”可知，前文讲要求孩子不打断他人，后文讲家长也要做到不打断孩子，说明礼仪是双向的；选项A“Remember it goes both ways.(记住这是双向的)” 完美衔接前后两句。 14. 根据空后“A parent should teach their children early on how to moderate their volume and tone based on the situation.(家长应当尽早教会孩子根据场合控制音量与语调)”及本段小标题“Using their indoor voices (学会在室内控制音量)”可知，本段主题是室内控制音量，空后说明家长应该教会孩子控制音量，空格处需引出孩子吵闹的现象；选项D“Crying, laughing, or just talking, children can be very loud.(无论是哭闹、大笑还是单纯说话，孩子们都可能十分吵闹)” 引出后文控制音量的礼仪要求。 15. 根据前文“It’s not just a matter of hygiene (卫生) — no one enjoys getting sprayed.(这不仅仅是卫生问题 —— 没人喜欢被飞沫喷到)”可知，前文讲述遮挡咳嗽喷嚏的第一层好处，空格应补充另一层益处；选项F“It is also a way to help others feel safe and comfortable around you.(这也是一种让身边人感到安全舒适的方式)”使用also承接前文，补充该礼仪的另一重意义。 Passage 4 (2026届河北秦皇岛市山海关第一中学高三年级下学期第二次模拟考试)When talking about fitness, most of us will think of six-pack stomach muscles. We often take these as a sign of good health, but actually they tell little about healthy aging. Many even mix these surface muscles up with core strength. The core is far more than visible abdominal(腹部的) muscles. It is a connected system of deep muscles like the side stomach muscles and back spine muscles, working together. 16 This system helps keep the backbone steady, controls pressure inside the stomach, and works as the base for nearly all movements, including breathing and lifting daily things. The side stomach muscles are a typical example. 17 By contrast, surface abdominal exercises like situps for six-packs do not serve the real goal. These workouts target only a small part of the abdominal muscles and engage just the surface ones, while they are neglecting the deep core muscles that play an important part in keeping the body stable for a long time and preventing pain. 18 They help improve abdominal endurance and shape a firm waist, a beauty goal many people strive for. The key point is that for those who prioritize long-term health over the appearance of six-pack muscles, focusing on deep core strength training is essential. 19 Developing core strength reduces the risk of falls by 40% in seniors, improves posture, and helps keep independence in daily activities like dressing and bathing in later life. All these abilities depend on stable spinal support. 20 After all, for graceful aging, consistent simple daily practices such as abdominal breathing or consciously using the core while walking are far more effective than high-intensity gym workouts. A. Its real value is supporting key body functions. B. Nevertheless, such exercises are not entirely useless. C. Importantly, effective core training doesn’t need much effort. D. Building core strength improves lifelong health and self-reliance. E. Using core strength naturally in daily activities brings good results. F. Stretching regularly eases muscle tightness and boosts daily flexibility. G. These muscles support the middle of the body and help reduce back pain. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. B 19. D 20. C 【语篇导读】文章主要介绍人体核心肌群的真正构成与功能，区分表层腹肌训练与深层核心训练，并阐述核心力量对终身健康的重要意义。 16. 根据空前的“The core is far more than visible abdominal(腹部的) muscles. It is a connected system of deep muscles like the side stomach muscles and back spine muscles, working together.(核心肌群远不止肉眼可见的腹部肌肉，它是由侧腹肌、脊柱背肌等深层肌肉共同协作组成的联动系统。)”以及空后的“This system helps keep the backbone steady, controls pressure inside the stomach, and works as the base for nearly all movements, including breathing and lifting daily things.(该系统能够保持脊柱稳定、控制腹内压力，是几乎所有身体活动的基础，包括呼吸和日常提物动作。)”可知，前文介绍了核心肌群的真实构成，后文详细罗列它对身体的各类支撑作用，空处需要承接上文定义，引出核心肌群的核心价值与身体功能。A选项“Its real value is supporting key body functions. (它的真正价值是支撑人体的关键身体机能)”中的Its指代前文所讲的核心肌群系统，起到承上启下的作用，精准概括后文全部功能介绍，符合语境。 17. 根据空前的“The side stomach muscles are a typical example.(侧腹肌肉就是一个典型的例子。)”可知，前文以侧腹肌肉为例，具体阐释深层核心肌群，空处需要继续展开说明这类深层肌肉的具体作用。G选项“These muscles support the middle of the body and help reduce back pain. (这些肌肉能够支撑身体躯干中部，并且有助于缓解背部疼痛)”中的These muscles指代前文提到的侧腹深层核心肌肉，承接上文举例内容，具体补充深层核心肌群对人体的保护与支撑作用，贴合段落主旨，符合语境。 18. 根据空前的“These workouts target only a small part of the abdominal muscles and engage just the surface ones, while they are neglecting the deep core muscles that play an important part in keeping the body stable for a long time and preventing pain.(这类运动只针对小部分表层腹部肌肉，忽略了长期维持身体稳定、预防身体疼痛的深层核心肌肉。)”以及空后的“They help improve abdominal endurance and shape a firm waist, a beauty goal many people strive for.(它们可以提升腹部耐力、紧致腰腹线条，是很多人追求的美容目标。)” 可知，前文指出练马甲线的表层训练存在明显局限、无法锻炼深层核心，后文转而介绍这类训练的塑形优势，前后形成语义转折。B选项“Nevertheless, such exercises are not entirely useless. (尽管如此，这类运动并非完全没有用处)”表转折，衔接前文弊端与后文好处，逻辑衔接紧密，符合语境。 19. 分析语篇可知，此处为本段总起中心句，统领整段内容。根据空后的 “Developing core strength reduces the risk of falls by 40% in seniors, improves posture, and helps keep independence in daily activities like dressing and bathing in later life.(锻炼核心力量可以将老年人的跌倒风险降低40%，改善体态，帮助人们在晚年保持穿衣、洗澡等日常活动的独立能力。)”可知，本段全部围绕锻炼核心力量对长期健康、老年生活自理的积极作用展开论述。D选项“Building core strength improves lifelong health and self-reliance. (锻炼核心力量能够提升终身健康水平与生活自理能力)”高度概括本段全部内容，对应后文老年人防跌倒、体态改善、生活独立等益处，适合作为段落主旨句，符合语境。 20. 根据空前的“All these abilities depend on stable spinal support.(所有这些生活能力都依靠稳定的脊柱支撑。)”以及空后的“After all, for graceful aging, consistent simple daily practices such as abdominal breathing or consciously using the core while walking are far more effective than high-intensity gym workouts.(总而言之，想要优雅地老去，坚持腹式呼吸、走路收腹等简单日常训练，远比高强度健身训练更有效。)”可知，前文肯定核心训练的重要性，后文强调简单日常训练优于高强度运动，空处需要过渡、点明高效核心训练无需费力的核心观点。C选项“Importantly, effective core training doesn't need much effort. (重要的是，有效的核心训练并不需要耗费太多精力)”承接前文核心力量的健康价值，引出后文简单日常训练的方式，完美衔接上下文，符合语境。 Passage 5 (2026届安徽省滁州市定远县育才学校模拟预测英语试题)Listen to the way you talk about your own life on a daily basis. I am not talking about your formal presentations; I am talking about your casual, throwaway complaints. “My luck is absolutely terrible.” “I cannot handle this anymore.” You think you are just complaining to your friends or to yourself. 21 You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment. 22 And your brain does not understand self-deprecating(自嘲), and it does not know when you are just joking. Your subconscious mind is a perfectly obedient(顺从的) servant. It listens to every single word that comes out of your mouth. Then it treats it as a direct command, and immediately searches for evidence to prove you right. You keep complaining “I am completely stuck.” 23 It stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one. 24 Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.” They never ask, “Why is this happening to me?” They ask, “What is this trying to teach me?” This subtle linguistic anchor is not just cheap self-help phrases. It is a fundamental reshape of your mindset. It shifts your identity from a passive victim to an active creator. It is time to be serious about what you say. 25 Stop using your own mouth to curse(诅咒) the beautiful life you are trying to build. You must cultivate the courage to speak highly of yourself, your capabilities, and your future. Speak like a winner, and the world will eventually have no choice but to agree A. You have already put huge pressure on your friends B. Your words are the invisible architecture of your reality. C. In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path. D. But negative language patterns don’t make the suffering hurt less. E. When your current reality looks depressing, use negative. F. Your brain accordingly shuts down its creative problem-solving centers. G. I see many brilliant people who live by a value system of self-encouragement. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. F 24. G 25. B 【语篇导读】文章主要介绍日常消极抱怨的语言会潜移默化影响自身心态与现实，倡导人们改用积极语言、重塑心态、正向自我暗示。 21. 上文“You think you are just complaining to your friends or to yourself.(你以为你只是在向朋友或自己抱怨)”说明人们误以为随口抱怨无伤大雅，C选项“In reality, you are casting dark spells over your own life path.(事实上，你正在给自己的人生道路施加黑暗的魔咒)”承接上文，转折指出消极抱怨的真实危害，颠覆人们的错误认知，上下文语义衔接自然。 22. 上文“You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment.(你以为表现得像悲观的失败者能让自己免受失望的打击)”介绍人们的错误想法，D选项“But negative language patterns don’t make the suffering hurt less.(但消极的语言模式并不会减轻痛苦)”与上文构成转折关系，指出消极自我暗示并无益处。 23. 上文“You keep complaining ‘I am completely stuck.’(你一直抱怨‘我彻底陷入困境了’)”说明持续的消极语言暗示，F选项“Your brain accordingly shuts down its creative problem-solving centers.(你的大脑会随之关闭创造性的问题解决中枢)”承接上文，介绍消极抱怨带来的大脑反应；下文“It stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one.(它会停止寻找出路，因为你已经宣称没有出路了)”进一步承接F选项，说明大脑停止解决问题的具体表现。 24. 下文“Instead of saying “I am dying of stress”, they say “I am operating at high capacity.”(他们不会说“我压力大到要死了”，而是说“我正在满负荷运转”)”介绍了一类人的积极语言表达方式，G选项“I see many brilliant people who live by a value system of self-encouragement.(我见过许多优秀的人，秉持自我鼓励的价值体系生活)”总领本段，引出下文优秀人群的正向语言与心态做法，契合段落主旨。 25. 上文“It is time to be serious about what you say.(是时候认真对待自己的言语了)”强调言语的重要性，B选项“Your words are the invisible architecture of your reality.(你的言语是构建自身现实的无形框架)”承接上文，进一步阐释言语的巨大影响力；下文“Stop using your own mouth to curse the beautiful life you are trying to build.(不要再用自己的言语诅咒你努力经营的美好生活)”基于该观点提出具体行动建议，上下文衔接流畅。 Passage 6 (2026届湖南长沙市弘益高级中学有限公司高三考前模拟英语试题)The advent of high-tech era is still based on the development of human ability to use tools. 26 . The positive aspects of these abilities were dug out by human survival instinct, while the negative ones were ignored because they were insignificant. When organized civilization began to appear on the earth, people began to make vehicles. 27 . On the contrary, they made the burden of slaves heavier and increased the possibility of civilian uprising.   During the alternation period between the Middle Ages and the modern world from the 17th to the 19th centuries, when the industrial revolution was flourishing, there were many great inventions in the hands of human beings, such as the steam engine and many factories. 28 . The positive side provided a solid foundation for scientific exploration, greatly enhanced the power, and greatly enhanced the carrying capacity. The negative side is that the environmental pollution is greatly aggravated. In the 20th century, mankind began to use nuclear energy, and the advantages gained from the 17th to 19th centuries continued to grow substantially. 29 . But at the same time, the negative effects were also increasing secretly. The leakage of nuclear energy makes the economy of some countries face collapse (such as Japan), and as long as a terrorist has mastered the code for launching a nuclear bomb, human life in the world will be at stake. In the 21st century, the positive and negative aspects brought about by nuclear deterrence have stabilized and stopped growing. 30 . But the disadvantages are inevitable. For example, the Internet makes many netizens addicted to the Internet, the network crime is rampant, and the development of artificial intelligence to a certain extent may produce self-consciousness, and it is possible to resist human beings with its high intelligence. As for the follow-up, we can only see how human beings decide their own direction. A. From ancient times, human beings began to learn to use stone axes to cut down trees and drill wood for fire. B. In addition, nuclear deterrence stabilized the world situation, especially with the coming of the next World War. C. The positive and negative aspects increased in proportion. D. On the positive side, they mainly enhanced the carrying capacity and had more functions. E. We should treat the rapid development of science and technology with correct eyes. F.

So we should resist the bad factors to promote the further development of science and technology. 【答案】26. A 27. D 28. C 29. B 30. F 【语篇导读】文章讲述了科技发展的历史，说明高科技时代的到来仍然是基于人类使用工具能力的发展，并阐述了不同阶段科技发展的优缺点。 26. 根据前文“The advent of high-tech era is still based on the development of human ability to use tools. (高科技时代的来临，仍然建立在人类使用工具能力的发展之上)”可知，人类有使用工具的能力。且下文“The positive aspects of these abilities were dug out by human survival instinct, while the negative ones were ignored because they were insignificant. (这些能力的积极方面被人类的生存本能挖掘出来，而消极方面则因为微不足道而被忽视)”中的“these abilities”与人类的生存本能有关。A选项“From ancient times, human beings began to learn to use stone axes to cut down trees and drill wood for fire. (自古以来，人类就开始学习使用石斧砍伐树木、钻木取火)”中的“use stone axes to cut down trees and drill wood for fire”对应下文中的these abilities，且与前文的“human ability to use tools”呼应。 27. 根据前文“When organized civilization began to appear on the earth, people began to make vehicles. (当有组织的文明开始在地球上出现时，人们开始制造交通工具)”可知，随着文明社会的兴起，人们开始制造交通工具。下文“On the contrary, they made the burden of slaves heavier and increased the possibility of civilian uprising. (相反，它们加重了奴隶的负担，增加了平民起义的可能性)”说明的是制造交通工具的负面影响，由此推测空处应是积极的方面。D选项“On the positive side, they mainly enhanced the carrying capacity and had more functions. (从积极方面来看，它们主要增强了运载能力，并且具备了更多功能)”说明了交通工具的积极作用，与下文的负面影响相呼应。 28. 根据上文“During the alternation period between the Middle Ages and the modern world from the 17th to the 19th centuries, when the industrial revolution was flourishing, there were many great inventions in the hands of human beings, such as the steam engine and many factories. (在17世纪至19世纪这一中世纪与现代世界交替的时期，工业革命蓬勃发展，人类手中涌现出许多伟大发明，例如蒸汽机和众多工厂)”可知，17至19世纪有许多发明。又根据下文“The positive side provided a solid foundation for scientific exploration, greatly enhanced the power, and greatly enhanced the carrying capacity. The negative side is that the environmental pollution is greatly aggravated. (积极的一面为科学探索提供了坚实的基础，大大增强了动力，大大增强了承载能力。消极的一面是环境污染大大加剧了)”可知，这些发明的积极作用和消极作用都提高了，因此空处应承上启下。C选项“The positive and negative aspects increased in proportion. (积极方面和消极方面按比例增长)”引出下文的积极方面和消极方面，概括了这一时期科技发展的特征，符合语境。 29. 上文“In the 20th century, mankind began to use nuclear energy, and the advantages gained from the 17th to 19th centuries continued to grow substantially.

(此外，尤其是随着下一次世界大战的临近，核威慑稳定了世界局势)”中的“In addition”与上文构成递进关系，继续说明核能的益处，并与下文形成转折。 30. 下文“But the disadvantages are inevitable. For example, the Internet makes many netizens addicted to the Internet, the network crime is rampant, and the development of artificial intelligence to a certain extent may produce self-consciousness, and it is possible to resist human beings with its high intelligence. (但缺点是不可避免的。例如，互联网使许多网民沉迷于网络，网络犯罪猖獗，人工智能的发展在一定程度上可能产生自我意识，有可能以其高智能来抵抗人类)”说明了互联网带来的不利之处。由“But”表转折可推断，空处应说明互联网、人工智能等的积极影响。F选项“However, the Internet, artificial intelligence, new energy development and other emerging fields have greatly benefited mankind. (然而，互联网、人工智能、新能源开发等新兴领域给人类带来了巨大的利益)”将话题转向互联网、人工智能和新能源，并与下文构成转折关系，符合语境。 考向三 记叙文 Passage 1 (2026届江西三九校联考高三联合质量检测英语试题)I have always loved to travel and experience new things and for many years my travels were one big checklist with flights from city to city, “must-do lists” and pins on Google maps. 1 Maybe it started after the pandemic, when we were all forced to learn to appreciate the little things in everyday life. Or maybe I have always had some slow travel tendencies in me. 2 Not rushing with a pre-determined plan, but taking the time to get to know the area. Having time to wander casually along towards the little handwritten sign and not just visiting popular scenic spots. What I discovered when I started to slow down, was that I SAW more. I found small family vineyards that no guidebook or influencer would ever discover. I had time to talk to the people I met, and I took the time to sit down at a small cafe that no one would ever recommend. 3 One thing I have also discovered, as a result of my slower travel, is that I very rarely book my trips far in advance these days. A good example is this summer’s road trip, where the route and final destination in France were decided two days before departure. There was no must-do list to check off, there were no map pins that needed to be visited. 4 What we managed to do, we managed to do. What we didn’t manage to do, we’ll do next time. It’s always possible to go back to a destination that you don’t feel finished with — one of the reasons why I’ve visited Australia six times and will probably never feel finished with that country. Another aspect that is important for the future of travel is sustainability. Staying longer in one place lowers carbon emissions, helps boost local economy and lets you enjoy authentic local life. You also have more time to walk and cycle instead of driving. Fewer transports, fewer international chains, fewer travel days. 5 Is slow travel perhaps also a counter-reaction to flight shame, environmental anxiety and consumerism? A. It is wise to make full preparations before setting off. B. It feels good for both the environment and your wallet. C. Yet gradually I changed my way of travelling unconsciously. D. I used to attach great importance to taking beautiful travel photos. E. For me, slow travel is about getting to know a place a little more thoroughly. F. I experienced more, felt more and became more focused on the present moment. G. Every day on site I found a few new places that I wanted to visit and experience. 【答案】1. C 2. E 3. F 4. G 5. B 【语篇导读】作者讲述了自己旅行方式的转变，从以往按清单匆忙旅行转变为如今的慢旅行，并阐述了慢旅行的特点、带来的体验以及对环境和当地经济的益处。 1. 前文“I have always loved to travel and experience new things and for many years my travels were one big checklist with flights from city to city, “must-do lists” and pins on Google maps.(我向来热爱旅行、体验新鲜事物。多年来，我的旅行就像一份密密麻麻的打卡清单：搭乘航班辗转各个城市，照着必游清单逐一打卡，在谷歌地图上标记到访地点)”作者讲述自己过去是打卡式快旅行；后文 “Maybe it started after the pandemic, when we were all forced to learn to appreciate the little things in everyday life. Or maybe I have always had some slow travel tendencies in me.(也许这种改变始于疫情之后，那时我们都被迫学会欣赏日常生活中的小事。或者也许我内心一直都有一些慢旅行的倾向)”作者指出自己开始欣赏小事、本身有慢旅行倾向；由此可知，此空起到承上启下的作用，引出作者旅行方式的转变。C选项 “Yet gradually I changed my way of travelling unconsciously.(然而，我不知不觉地逐渐改变了我的旅行方式)”符合语境。 2. 下文“Not rushing with a pre-determined plan, but taking the time to get to know the area. Having time to wander casually along towards the little handwritten sign and not just visiting popular scenic spots.(不按照预先确定的计划匆忙行事，而是花时间去了解这个地区。有时间悠闲地朝着那些手写的小指示牌漫步，而不只是参观热门景点)”具体解释慢旅行不赶行程、深度探访的特点；E选项“For me, slow travel is about getting to know a place a little more thoroughly.(对我来说，慢旅行就是更深入地了解一个地方)”作者阐述自己对慢旅行的定义，引出下文慢旅行的内涵。 3. 前文“I found small family vineyards that no guidebook or influencer would ever discover. I had time to talk to the people I met, and I took the time to sit down at a small cafe that no one would ever recommend.(我发现了一些家庭小葡萄园，这些地方任何旅行指南或网红都不会发现。我有时间和遇到的人交谈，还花时间坐在一家没人会推荐的小咖啡馆里)”作者列举了慢旅行中的一些活动；选项F“I experienced more, felt more and became more focused on the present moment.(我体验得更多，感受得更多，也更加专注于当下)”承接上文，总结了作者在慢旅行中的收获，符合语境。 4. 根据前文“A good example is this summer’s road trip, where the route and final destination in France were decided two days before departure. There was no must - do list to check off, there were no map pins that needed to be visited.(一个很好的例子是今年夏天的公路旅行，去法国的路线和最终目的地在出发前两天才决定。没有要勾选的必做事项清单，也没有需要去打卡的地图标记)”可知，作者现在不提前太久规划行程、没有强制打卡清单；G选项“Every day on site I found a few new places that I wanted to visit and experience.(在当地的每一天，我都会发现一些我想去参观和体验的新地方)”承接上文“不提前规划”的特点，进一步说明这种没有固定计划的旅行方式带来的新鲜感，引出下文“What we managed to do, we managed to do. What we didn’t manage to do, we’ll do next time.(我们能完成就完成。我们没能做到的，下次再做。)”关于不强制打卡的内容，逻辑通顺。 5. 前文“Staying longer in one place lowers carbon emissions, helps boost local economy and lets you enjoy authentic local life. You also have more time to walk and cycle instead of driving. Fewer transports, fewer international chains, fewer travel days.(在一个地方停留更长时间可以降低碳排放，有助于促进当地经济发展，还能让你享受真实的当地生活。你也有更多时间步行和骑自行车，而不是开车。更少的交通出行，更少的国际连锁店，更少的旅行天数)”围绕慢旅行的可持续性展开，提到慢旅行降低碳排放、助力本地经济；B选项“It feels good for both the environment and your wallet.(这对环境和你的钱包都有好处)”承接上文，从环境和经济等方面说明了慢旅行的好处，对前文内容进行总结。 Passage 2 (2026年浙江宁波市镇海中学 5月高三高考模拟英语试题)I used to wake up and check my phone. Before my feet hit the floor, I was already deep in the day’s chaos: headlines, comments, breaking news alerts. Doomscrolling(刷屏成瘾) had become my morning routine. 6 I started each day tense and anxious. So I gave myself a quiet dare: no phone in the morning, for five straight weekdays. Naturally, breaking the habit wasn’t easy. The first morning, I reached for my phone automatically. I stopped myself and picked up a book instead. It felt odd, like trying to enjoy coffee without caffeine(咖啡因). But after a few pages, I found myself actually relaxed — not the emptiness of a scroll, but something steadier. 7 That had never happened before. Encouraged by the quiet start, I explored other ways. The next day I tried a cold shower. I wanted something that would force me fully awake. The shock factor was incredibly effective. 8 On Wednesday, I went for a run. I hated every step at first. But I came back awake, warm and proud. That feeling powered me through the day. 9 On Thursday, I journaled. No audience, just thoughts on paper. It felt honest, if not particularly exciting. On Friday, I reread an old letter and let the memories surface. It was quiet, uneventful and grounding. By the end of the week, the urge to check my phone had weakened. 10 Those phone-free mornings proved a quieter start was possible: no noise or half-truths. It’s not about perfection, but freedom from the scroll and the misinformation it feeds into our minds. A. But lately, I noticed the weight it carried. B. This left my mind surprisingly clear afterward. C. I even finished a chapter before checking the time. D. That meant I stopped grabbing my phone on waking. E. It made me realize how popular phones are nowadays. F. Some mornings I spent more time reflecting than moving. G. It revealed the link between my phone use and daily anxiety. 【答案】6. A 7. C 8. B 9.

It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake(雪花) with the device. 11 When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. Bentley then spent 2 years figuring out how to take a picture of a snowflake under a microscope. On January 15, 1885, he did it, creating the world’s first photomicrograph. 12 Outdoors, he collected snowflakes on a wooden tray that was painted black. Once inside, while still wearing big gloves to keep his hands warm, he used a straw(吸管) to pick up the snowflake and place it on a microscope slide. Then being careful not to breathe on the flake, he quickly examined and photographed it. Taking photomicrographs was only half of a long process. In those days, glass plates(感光板) were used to take photographs. Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. 13 Bentley shared his snowflakes with anyone interested. He sold prints of his photomicrographs for 5 cents each. He wrote articles for scientists and for magazines such as National Geographic. Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. 14 At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” 15 In 1920, Bentley was elected as one of the first members of the American Meteorological Society, which later awarded him its first research grant in 1924. A. Still, he never stopped. B. The process was difficult and cold. C. Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. D. Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. E. Sometimes he handled the snowflake with a feather. F. He dedicated himself to observing flakes of snow for 60 years. G. This was the beginning of a fascination that lasted the rest of his life. 【答案】11. G 12. B 13. C 14. A 15.

(这个过程既困难又寒冷。)”符合语境，可作为段首句概括这一段的主题，统领下文。 13. 上文“Bentley developed the plates in a dark room under some stairs and then carried the plates to a nearby stream to wash them. (Bentley在楼梯下的一间暗室里冲洗这些感光板，然后把感光板拿到附近的小溪里冲洗。)”描述他冲洗感光板的方法和过程，因此C项“Sometimes he did this at night in the dark. (有时他在黑暗中夜间进行。)”符合语境，补充说明他冲洗感光板的另一方法，和上文是并列关系。 14. 上文“Occasionally, he felt discouraged that few people seemed to care about his work. (有时，他会感到有些沮丧，因为似乎很少有人关心他的工作。)”提到他有时会沮丧，下文“At age 65, he photographed his 5,000th snowflake. (在65岁那年，他拍摄了自己第5000片雪花的照片。)”表明他仍坚持着这项热爱，因此A项“Still, he never stopped. (尽管如此，他从未停止。)”符合语境，和上文构成转折，衔接下文的坚持。 15. 上文“Slowly, people became interested. Reporters sometimes appeared at his door. People began to call him “the Snowflake Man” and “Professor Bentley.” (渐渐地，人们开始对他产生了兴趣。记者们有时会来到他家门前。人们开始称他为“雪花先生”和“Bentley教授”。)”指出他受到关注，并列举具体事例佐证，因此D项“Jewelry makers copied the snowflake designs. (珠宝制造商仿制雪花设计。)”符合语境，说明他的工作启发了艺术和商业领域，和上文的事例并列，句式相仿，共同支撑段首提到的关注。 Passage 4 (2026届河南省开封市高三考前模拟) Small acts of volunteering, big gains for everyone When our class first discussed volunteering at a local nursing home, I hesitated. I worried I couldn’t start up a conversation with the elderly and feared the experience would be awkward. 16 Little did I know this small step would bring unexpected joy to both sides. On our first visit, we prepared simple activities: reading stories, chatting, and assisting with chores like folding clothes. 17 One elderly lady who’d been a rural teacher in her prime shared stories of educating mountain kids; another taught us to knit scarves with old wool. We laughed at her amusing stories and felt warmth at her sincerity. The feared awkwardness never came — instead, a natural bond formed. As visits became regular, we explored new ways to lend a hand. 18 We also brought homemade paper-cuts and small gifts, which lit up their ordinary days. Some classmates even taught elders to use smartphones for video calls — their tearful smiles when seeing loved ones were priceless. Volunteering didn’t just benefit the elderly — we’d initially thought we were the only givers. 19 I grew more confident in communicating across ages and learned to listen attentively. My classmates and I bonded as we cooperated to make visits meaningful, realizing small efforts beat grand gestures. By the end of the semester, we felt a bit of sorrow wrapping up the project. 20 What’s more, we have come to understand that mutual nature of kindness. When we give our time and care, we will gain boundless joy, personal growth, and precious memories that last a lifetime. A. I thought it a fruitless waste of my spare time. B. We learned tiny kindness acts have big impacts. C. It also transformed me and classmates profoundly. D. Most elders were eager to share bits of their lives with us. E. We tidied their rooms and walked with them in the garden. F. Some elders were not active, but our enthusiasm broke the ice. G. Soon I looked forward to each visit — it became my weekly highlight. 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. E 19. C 20.

For the past three years, Clara, now 15, has been overcoming her disability to achieve this goal. “I got tired of relying on others. Why not try to feel the music myself ?” she explains. 22 Then she got bored again and tried vibrating(震动) floor mats to feel the rhythm and strength of each note. Then came months of patient practice, alone in a quiet room 23 She understood it by feeling the vibrations of the keys and using her hand memory. She also used special software that turns sound into visual signals, helping her match the speed and volume of the music. Now, after practicing hundreds of pieces from memory independently, Clara has gradually reduced her reliance on others. “At first, I had to concentrate hard to ‘hear’ the music through my hands and eyes. Now, it feels almost natural,” she explains. 24 “I made quite many mistakes in the beginning — like hitting the wrong keys — but I quickly adjust,” she laughs. 25 The freedom and confidence she has built through independent practice are vast, not only elevating her skills as well as providing inspiration to others. “I can’t hide the fact that I’m deaf,” she says, “but I can play like everyone else and not be treated differently.” A. That’s not to say the learning process is easy. B. Repeating is important for playing hard pieces. C. As a result, she learned the entire Chopin piece. D.

Shifting to a completely new culture almost always results in a culture shock for all people. 26 Some hardly notice its effect at all, while others can find it very difficult to adapt to their new environment. I grew up in a small town in Slovakia, where most of the information I had about America came from its movies, and the purpose of them is always to entertain viewers, while details of American life may not be precisely described. I had imagined a thousand possibilities of what life in America would be like. 27 Americans find it easy to make casual friends. They become friends first and build trust later if at all. Americans make friends and become relatively close in no time. 28 In my culture, we believe in building friendships and staying connected after the trust is built. Only after coming to America did I realize that my self-identification as a reserved person is part of my cultural identity with Slovakian culture. 29 Americans find it uncomfortable if others stand too close. When friends or family greet, they give a short hug and step aside to have some distance for conversation. We Slovakian people like to speak sitting or standing close to each other. Also, it’s considered disrespectful to keep a large distance during the conversation. Part of the excitement of living in a new culture is learning about how it differs from my own culture. 30 By learning to understand and navigate the culture of another country, I have become a more open-minded person. It has taught me to shape my own cultural identity. A. But it’s easy for them to disappear from one another’s life. B. Different people might experience culture shock differently. C. It is therefore necessary to know how to handle culture shock. D. I always compare my values and customs with those in America. E. Another shocking observation for me was the informality of the Americans. F. American culture is also different from mine in terms of a sense of personal space. G. But I had never expected that I would have a culture shock once I was actually there. 【答案】26. B 27. G 28. A 29. F 30.

For years, private tutoring has been viewed as a shortcut to better grades. Parents invest heavily in after-school classes, believing that more instruction will naturally lead to academic improvement. Yet many students find themselves trapped in a frustrating cycle: the more they study, the worse their performance becomes. 1 One crucial factor is the concept of “diminishing returns.” While additional practice helps up to a point, excessive tutoring can lead to mental exhaustion. When students spend their evenings and weekends in extra classes on top of regular school, their brains have no time to rest and consolidate information. 2 Instead of absorbing new material, they sit through sessions in a half-focused state, learning little despite the hours invested. Another key factor is the loss of intrinsic motivation. Students who are constantly told what to do by tutors may never develop the ability to learn independently. 3 Over time, studying becomes something done for others — parents or teachers — rather than for personal growth. When external pressure is removed, these students often struggle to organize their own learning. Research has also identified what scholars call the “placebo effect” of tutoring. Studies using rigorous statistical methods have found that while tutoring shows little to no positive impact on test scores, it does significantly reduce negative emotions such as sadness and anxiety. 4 Parents and students continue to pay for classes not because they improve grades, but because the act of attending relieves the fear of falling behind. Finally, the quality of tutoring matters enormously. Large classes where students simply listen to lectures replicate the problems of regular schooling rather than solving them. 5 Without this personalization, tutoring becomes merely an extension of the classroom — longer hours, but not better learning. Ultimately, the evidence suggests that tutoring is not a magical solution. More hours do not guarantee better results; what matters is how those hours are used and whether the student remains mentally fresh and internally driven. A. As a result, their performance may actually decline with increased study time. B. This explains why the tutoring industry continues to grow despite weak evidence for its academic effectiveness. C. What works best is individualized instruction that targets a student's specific weaknesses. D. The following reasons may help explain why tutoring sometimes fails to deliver expected results. E. They become passive receivers of knowledge rather than active seekers. F. Interestingly, tutoring has been shown to have the strongest effects in mathematics and sciences. G. Once tutoring time exceeds four hours per day, its positive effect on academic performance no longer remains significant. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. E 4. B 5. C 【语篇导读】文章主要探讨课外辅导并非总能见效的几大原因，包括收益递减、内在学习动力缺失、安慰剂效应以及辅导质量参差不齐等，并指出高效学习的关键不在于时长而在于学习方式。    1. 由上文“Yet many students find themselves trapped in a frustrating cycle: the more they study, the worse their performance becomes.(然而很多学生陷入了令人沮丧的循环：学得越多，成绩反而越差。)”以及下文分段介绍具体原因可知，本空要引出下文的原因分析，D选项“The following reasons may help explain why tutoring sometimes fails to deliver expected results.(以下原因或许可以解释为何辅导有时达不到预期效果。)”能承上启下，符合题意。 2. 由上文“While additional practice helps up to a point, excessive tutoring can lead to mental exhaustion. When students spend their evenings and weekends in extra classes on top of regular school, their brains have no time to rest and consolidate information.(虽然额外的练习在一定程度上有所帮助，但过多的辅导会导致精神疲惫。当学生们晚上和周末在普通学校之外上额外的课时，他们的大脑没有时间休息和巩固信息。)”以及下文“Instead of absorbing new material, they sit through sessions in a half-focused state, learning little despite the hours invested.(他们没有吸收新材料，而是在半专注的状态下坐着，尽管投入了时间，但收效甚微。)”可知，本空承接上文，说明学习时长增加后成绩反而下滑，A选项“As a result, their performance may actually decline with increased study time.(结果就是，学习时间增加，他们的成绩反而可能下降。)”衔接上下文，逻辑通顺。 3. 由上文“Students who are constantly told what to do by tutors may never develop the ability to learn independently.(一直被辅导老师安排学习任务的学生，无法培养自主学习能力。)”以及下文“Over time, studying becomes something done for others — parents or teachers — rather than for personal growth. (久而久之，学习变成了为他人而做的事——父母或老师——而不是为了个人成长。)”可知，本空说明学生学习状态的变化，E选项“They become passive receivers of knowledge rather than active seekers.(他们变成了知识的被动接受者，而非主动探索者。)”承接前后内容，贴合语境。 4. 根据段首主是题句“Research has also identified what scholars call the “placebo effect” of tutoring.(研究还发现了学者们所说的辅导的“安慰剂效应”)”可知，本段讨论补习的“安慰剂效应”。上文“Studies using rigorous statistical methods have found that while tutoring shows little to no positive impact on test scores, it does significantly reduce negative emotions such as sadness and anxiety.(使用严格统计方法的研究发现，虽然辅导对考试成绩几乎没有积极影响，但它确实能显著减少悲伤和焦虑等负面情绪。)”指出补习对成绩没有积极影响，但能显著减少负面情绪。下文“Parents and students continue to pay for classes not because they improve grades, but because the act of attending relieves the fear of falling behind.(家长和学生继续为课程付费，不是因为他们提高了成绩，而是因为参加课程的行为减轻了对落后的恐惧。)”解释了补习行业持续增长的原因。B选项“This explains why the tutoring industry continues to grow despite weak evidence for its academic effectiveness.(这解释了为什么尽管补习在学术效果上证据不足，但补习行业仍在持续增长。)”与上下文逻辑一致，其中“this”指代上文的安慰剂效应。 5. 由上文“Large classes where students simply listen to lectures replicate the problems of regular schooling(大班授课只是复刻了传统课堂的弊端)”以及下文“Without this personalization, tutoring becomes merely an extension of the classroom(缺少个性化安排，辅导就只是课堂的延续)”可知，本空介绍有效的辅导形式，C选项“What works best is individualized instruction that targets a student’s specific weaknesses.(最有效的方式是针对学生薄弱点开展个性化辅导。)”与后文“personalization”相呼应，衔接自然。 Passage 2 (2026届山东省九五高中协作体高考最后一卷英语试题)We all play little mind games. We set clocks ahead to avoid being late. 6 Some imagine the worst, just to scare themselves into working harder. Different tricks, same purpose: to push ourselves when our own motivation isn’t enough. These tricks are especially common among people who feel they must be perfect for everyone else. These people think the world expects them to nail everything, to never say “I can’t.” For them, doing something isn’t about the thing itself — it’s about not letting anyone down. So here’s the real question: Are you doing this because you want to, or because you’re afraid of what happens if you don’t? 7 A little trick here and there? No big deal. The trouble starts when you can’t stop. When you care too much about what others think, you reach for these tricks all the time. Over time, they stop being tricks. 8 And they become hard to spot — even in yourself. Think of a kid who keeps playing a sport just to make his parents proud. He might love the game, but that’s not why he’s out there. 9 So he stays. But anger builds. He can’t be mad at his parents, so he aims it at the other team. Beating them becomes his proof that he’s good enough. This anger becomes his fuel. But look closer: he’s not playing to win. He’s playing to survive. 10 But there’s a difference between using one now and then, and building your whole life on them. So it’s worth asking: Do I want to spend my whole life just getting by? A. They become who you are. B. We all need these tricks sometimes. C. For these people, it’s almost always fear. D. Quitting would feel like letting them down. E. They turn into tools you use without thinking. F. Pushing yourself a little harder is never a bad thing. G. Athletes find reasons to get fired up against opponents. 【答案】6. G 7. C 8. A 9. D 0. B 【语篇导读】主要讲述人们常会使用心理小方法督促自己，分析过度依赖这类方式的弊端并引导人们理性看待。 6. 根据前文“We all play little mind games. We set clocks ahead to avoid being late. (我们都会耍些小小的小心思。为了不迟到，我们会把钟表调快。)”以及后文“Some imagine the worst, just to scare themselves into working harder.

(运动员会找理由激起对抗对手的斗志。)”和前后事例并列，举例说明不同的心理小技巧，符合语境。 7. 根据前文“So here’s the real question: Are you doing this because you want to, or because you’re afraid of what happens if you don’t? (那么真正的问题来了：你这么做，是出于本心愿意，还是因为害怕不这么做会产生后果？)”可知，空格处针对问题给出答案，C选项“For these people, it’s almost always fear. (对这类人而言，原因几乎都是内心的恐惧。)”承接上文的设问，点明这类人的真实心态，符合语境。 8. 根据前文“Over time, they stop being tricks. (久而久之，这些小手段也就习以为常了。)”以及后文“And they become hard to spot — even in yourself. (这些心思也变得难以察觉，就连我们自己都无法发觉。)”可知，此处说明心理把戏慢慢发生转变，成为自身的一部分，A选项“They become who you are. (它们渐渐变成了你本身的一部分。)”承接语义，体现变化过程，符合语境。 9. 根据前文“Think of a kid who keeps playing a sport just to make his parents proud. He might love the game, but that’s not why he’s out there. (试想有个孩子坚持参加某项运动，只为让父母感到骄傲。他或许本身也喜欢这项运动，但这并非他坚持下去的原因。)”以及后文“So he stays. (所以他选择继续坚持。)”可知，空格解释孩子不愿放弃的原因，D选项“Quitting would feel like letting them down. (放弃会让他觉得辜负了父母。)”衔接上下文，解释孩子坚持下去的心理，符合语境。 10. 根据后文“But there’s a difference between using one now and then, and building your whole life on them. (偶尔借助这些想法行事，和整个人生都依附于此，二者有着天壤之别。)”中的But表转折，可知前文先承认这类心理技巧存在一定价值，B选项“We all need these tricks sometimes. (我们有时都需要用到这些小方法。)”引出下文的辩证分析，符合语境。 Passage 3 (2026届湖南省高三全真模拟适应性考试英语试题)I typed a few words into an AI painting tool — “a quiet forest after rain, soft light” — and within seconds, an image appeared on my screen. The colors were perfectly integrated, the composition balanced. 11 A piece of art — created without brushes, paints, or years of training. There is no need to worry about technique, inspiration, or even making mistakes. Dozens of variations can be generated in minutes with simple text commands. 12 It quickly removes all the barriers that traditional artistic creation often involves — the long hours of practice, the uncertainty of each brushstroke, the frustration of failed attempts. For someone who has never held a brush properly, this felt almost like magic. 13 As I scrolled through the almost perfect and pleasing images, I felt no connection to these images, as if they belonged to no one. They carried no trace of struggle, no evidence of human hesitation or discovery. 14 Something essential was missing — the tension between intention and accident, the emotional weight carried by every deliberate stroke. Some emotions only emerge when we face uncertainty, make mistakes, and learn from them. Without that process, the image becomes a product, not a story. AI painting will undoubtedly continue to improve, producing images that are increasingly complex and visually stunning. But this development raises a deeper question: what do we value in art? Is it only the final image we admire, or is it also the story behind its creation — It requires patience, self-doubt and a willingness to embrace the unknown and imperfect. 15 A. This distinction, I believe, is very clear. B. Even the atmosphere was exactly as I had imagined. C. The lines were too smooth, the harmony too perfect. D. AI-generated art is fast, efficient, and accessible to anyone. E. My hands felt restless after staring at the generated pictures. F. Yet this convenience may weaken our sense of human effort in art. G. Perhaps that is what we truly value — the human journey behind the image. 【答案】11. B 12. D 13. F 14. C 15.
