Passage 1
(2026届江苏南京市部分学校“零模”考前训练题英语)Dreaming big doesn’t mean we suddenly want to be a millionaire or become famous. That’s because “bigger” is a relative term. If we currently have no dreams, dreaming bigger might just mean a small goal that we want to reach. But even that is not always easy. So how do you start dreaming bigger?
Cultivate Confidence.
To achieve big things, you have to believe that you can. Therefore, the first thing we need to dream big is to get a confidence boost. Try to remember a time when you succeeded in doing something you set your mind to. 1
Face Fear of Failure.
The fear of doing something big can be intense. What if we fail? What then? If this sounds like you, it may be helpful to develop the belief that growth and learning are more important than success or other people’s opinions. 2 That way we can better enjoy the pursuit, even if it ultimately does result in failure.
Face Fear of Success.
Success can mean different things to different people. For example, success might mean feeling like the odd one out in your family or friend group. 3 Or, it could lead to jealousy from others. But taking a closer outlook at these fears and thinking about how you might deal with them can help you move through them.
Use Your Imagination.
4 Maybe you imagine yourself owning your own business, having a big family, or traveling all over the world. Then does living this life feel good or authentic? Use this exercise to better understand which big dreams are a good fit for you.
Enjoy the Process.
Sometimes we end up spending so much time focusing on big dreams that we forget to enjoy the process. Indeed, big dreams can help us imagine a life or a future we’ve never known. 5 If we don’t enjoy the process, it’s going to be tough to get there.
A. But big dreams take time.
B. We are taking control of our lives.
C. Striving towards dreams can decrease well-being.
D. It might mean more responsibility than you really want.
E. Use your experiences as inspiration and self-motivation.
F. Start by visualizing a variety of different possible exciting outcomes.
G. It can help you shift your focus to the journey instead of the end goal
【答案】1. E 2. G 3. D 4. F 5. A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了梦想更大可能只是意味着我们想要达到的一个小目标。但这不总是那么容易。本文给读者介绍了如何开始有更大的梦想的一些建议。
1. 空处位于段末应承接上文。根据第二段小标题“Cultivate Confidence.(培养自信)”以及前文“Try to remember a time when you succeeded in doing something you set your mind to.(试着回忆一下你下定决心成功完成某件事的时刻)”可知,空处应承接上文说明为什么要回忆这些时刻。E选项“Use your experiences as inspiration and self-motivation.(把你的经历作为灵感和自我激励)”符合题意。故选E项。
2. 根据上文“What if we fail? What then? If this sounds like you, it may be helpful to develop the belief that growth and learning are more important than success or other people’s opinions.(如果我们失败了怎么办?然后什么?如果这听起来像你,那么培养成长和学习比成功或他人意见更重要的信念可能会有所帮助)”推知,空处应陈述为什么要培养“成长和学习比成功或他人意见更重要”的信念,G选项“It can help you shift your focus to the journey instead of the end goal.(它可以帮助你将注意力转移到过程而不是最终目标上)”符合题意,it指代上文的提到的那个信念,故选G项。
3. 根据上文“Success can mean different things to different people. For example, success might mean feeling like the odd one out in your family or friend group.(成功对不同的人有不同的含义。例如,成功可能意味着感觉自己是家人或朋友群中的异类)”以及下文“Or, it could lead to jealousy from others.(或者,它可能会导致别人的嫉妒)”可知,空处内容应与上下文一致,陈述成功的对某些人的含义。D选项“It might mean more responsibility than you really want.(这可能意味着比你想要的更多的责任)”符合语境,故选D项。
4. 根据小标题“Use Your Imagination.(使用你的想象)”以及下文“Maybe you imagine yourself owning your own business, having a big family, or traveling all over the world. Then does living this life feel good or authentic? (也许你想象自己拥有自己的事业,拥有一个大家庭,或者周游世界。那么这种生活感觉好吗?真实吗?)”可知,空处应总起本段,陈述用各种不同的想象开始。F选项“Start by visualizing a variety of different possible exciting outcomes.(从想象各种不同的可能的令人兴奋的结果开始)”符合语境,且切合本段主旨。故选F项。

Passage 3
(浙江绍兴市第一中学2026届最后一卷模拟预测英语试题)Do you treat new attempts like jumping into a cold pool? You stand there for ages, thinking about it, planning for it, making emotional speeches about it, yet you still don’t jump in. 11 This way of thinking means you stop waiting for the perfect time, or the perfect idea or the perfect version of yourself. You simply start — even if your work is a little messy.
Many people think perfectionism is a good thing. It sounds impressive, and it makes you seem serious and thoughtful. But sometimes perfectionism is just fear wearing glasses and carrying a clipboard, telling you, “Don’t begin until everything is just right.” 12
This is true in almost every part of life. Maybe you want to be a videographer, writer, or musician — or perhaps you just want to speak in public without feeling like your soul has left your body. 13 First attempts rarely are. The good news is that action teaches faster than overthinking. When you actually do something, you get feedback. 14 That’s how we grow: not by waiting until we’re “naturally good,” but by being brave enough to be a little bad first.
15 It involves doing your best, sending it out, and learning from the result. We’re all works in progress. So go ahead. Start before you feel ready because, in real life, done beats perfect almost every time. Jump in. The water is just fine.
A. You see what works and what doesn’t.
B. Taking action anyway doesn’t mean being careless.
C. But you’re worried that your work won’t be remarkable.
D. Finishing and presenting something slightly messy is fine.
E. A perfect start is surely better than completed imperfect effort.
F. The problem is that nothing becomes excellent without a beginning.
G. That’s where the mindset of taking action anyway becomes important.
【答案】11. G 12. F 13. C 14. A 15. B
【导语】文章主要讲述了不要因追求完美而犹豫不决,应采取行动,因为完成比完美更重要。
11. 由上文“Do you treat new attempts like jumping into a cold pool? You stand there for ages, thinking about it, planning for it, making emotional speeches about it, yet you still don’t jump in. (你是否把新的尝试当作跳进冷水池?你在那里站了很久,思考着,计划着,发表着激动人心的演讲,但你仍然没有跳进去。)”及下文“This way of thinking means you stop waiting for the perfect time, or the perfect idea or the perfect version of yourself. You simply start — even if your work is a little messy. (这种思维方式意味着你不再等待完美的时机,或者完美的想法,或者完美的自己。你只需开始——即使你的工作有点乱。)”可知,上文描述了人们面对新尝试时的犹豫不决,下文提出了一种新的思维方式,即不再等待完美,而是直接开始行动,本空应引出下文这种新的思维方式的重要性。G选项“这就是无论如何采取行动的心态变得重要的地方。”能承上启下,符合语境。
12. 由上文“But sometimes perfectionism is just fear wearing glasses and carrying a clipboard, telling you, “Don’t begin until everything is just right.” (但有时完美主义只是恐惧戴着眼镜,拿着写字板,告诉你,“在一切恰到好处之前不要开始。”)”可知,上文指出完美主义可能是恐惧的表现,阻止人们开始行动,本空应说明这种恐惧导致的问题。F选项“问题是没有开始就没有卓越。”能承接上文,符合语境。
13. 由上文“Maybe you want to be a videographer, writer, or musician — or perhaps you just want to speak in public without feeling like your soul has left your body. (也许你想成为一名摄像师、作家或音乐家——或者也许你只是想在公众面前演讲而不感到灵魂出窍。)”及下文“First attempts rarely are. (第一次尝试很少是这样的。)”可知,上文列举人们想要完成的目标,下文说明初次尝试本就普通,本空应点明人们内心的顾虑。C选项“但你担心你的工作不会引人注目。”能承上启下,符合语境。
14. 由上文“The good news is that action teaches faster than overthinking. When you actually do something, you get feedback. (好消息是,行动比过度思考教得更快。当你真正做某事时,你会得到反馈。)”可知,上文提到行动比过度思考更有效,因为行动能带来反馈,本空应说明反馈的作用。A选项“你看到什么有效,什么无效。”能承接上文,符合语境。
15. 由下文“It involves doing your best, sending it out, and learning from the result. We’re all works in progress. So go ahead. Start before you feel ready because, in real life, done beats perfect almost every time. Jump in. The water is just fine. (它包括尽你所能,把它发出去,并从结果中学习。我们都在进步中。所以继续吧。在你准备好之前就开始,因为在现实生活中,完成几乎总是胜过完美。跳进去。水正好。)”可知,下文强调了尽管不完美也要采取行动的重要性,本空应说明采取行动并不意味着粗心大意。B选项“无论如何,采取行动并不意味着粗心大意。”能引出下文,符合语境。
Passage 4
(湖北武汉市第四十九中学2026届考前第二次适应性模拟考试英语试题)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.
16 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. 17 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. 18 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). 19
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! 20 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.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何成功地种植花园,给出了一些简单的指导方针。
16. 上文“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.(无论你的花园占据了院子的一角,还是窗台的一角,遵循一些简单的指导就很容易成功)”提出只需要一些简单的指导就很容易打理好花园。E选项“To begin, determine what size garden works best for you.(首先,确定什么大小的花园最适合你)”提出第一条建议,句中“To begin”表明其逻辑顺序,同时句中“determine what size garden”与下文“Look around your house, yard, or apartment. Think carefully about the space available”相呼应。故选E项。
17. 上文“Plants need soil, sunshine, and water.(植物需要土壤、阳光和水)”说明植物生存的基本条件,B选项“They are in great need of care as well.(它们也非常需要照顾)”承接上文,进一步强调除了基本条件外,植物还需要精心的照顾,同时引出下文“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.(如果你要在院子的一角种植花园,选择一个早晨阳光充足的地方。如果你住在公寓里,你可能要决定把你的容器花园放在阳台或窗台上的阳光充足的地方)”对植物精心照顾举例说明。故选B项。
18. 上文“Once you have determined the size of your garden, you are ready to choose what to plant.(一旦你确定了花园的大小,你就可以选择种植什么了)”提出要选择种植什么,D选项“Decide whether you want flowers, vegetables, or both.(决定你要花、蔬菜,还是两者都要)”承接上文,举例说明可以种植的植物,上下文语意连贯。故选D项。
19. 根据上文“Once you have determined the size of your garden, you are ready to choose what to plant.(一旦你确定了花园的大小,你就可以选择种植什么了)”和“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). (在选择植物时,要考虑花园的大小和位置,以及它能得到多少阳光。向日葵需要充足的空间和阳光。其他植物在阴凉处生长得很好)”可知,本段在讨论如何选择要种植的植物并给出相应建议,G选项“If you are not sure what to plant, look for books about gardens at the library.(如果你不确定要种什么,去图书馆找关于花园的书)”与本段主题一致,提出在不确定要种什么植物的情况下,可以去图书馆寻求帮助。故选G项。
20. 下文“Plants usually come with a label which includes instructions on care.(植物通常带有一个标签,上面包括护理说明)”说明进行植物种植要按标签上的护理说明来,F选项“When using packaged seeds, follow the directions on the package.(当使用袋装种子时,请遵循包装上的说明)”与其是并列关系,说明使用袋装种子时要遵循种子包装上的说明,这些都是开始种植时要注意的事项。故选F项。
Passage 5
(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)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. 21 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. 22
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. 23 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.
24 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. 25 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】21. A 22. G 23. B 24. D 25. C
【导语】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。
21. 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。
22. 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。
23. 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。
24. 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。
25. 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 6
(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英语试卷)
Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
26 Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. 27 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 28 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
29 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 30 But it can rob you of your selfconfidence if you don’t do it.
A. Why should you forgive?
B. How should you start to forgive?
C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.
E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stressmanagement technique.
G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.
【答案】26. B 27. F 28. G 29. D 30. E
【导语】文章是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了人们宽恕他人的方法和途径。
26. 根据第一段的内容和“Try the following steps”可知,接下来是提的建议,故空白处是问“应该怎样原谅他人呢?”之类的话。起承上启下的作用,故选B。
27. 根据Calm yourself(要冷静)和take a couple of breaths(深呼吸)可知,这里讲的是,要学会舒缓愤怒,让自己平静下来。F选项To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.让愤怒逐渐消散,尝试一个简单的压力管理技巧,符合,故选F。
28. 根据第一句“Don't wait for an apology.”可知,不能等待他人的原谅,G选项If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.如果等他人来道歉,你可能会等相当长的时间,G项与wait for有关,故选G。
29. 根据IfIf you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love.可知,如果你理解惹怒你的人,你可能会意识到他是无意伤害你的,应该站在对方的角度考虑一下。D选项Try to see things from your offender's angle.试着站在对方的角度思考问题.,符合。故选D。
30. 根据“Don't forget to forgive yourself.”和“...rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it”可知,最后一段说的是,要学会自我原谅,E项“对一些人来说,原谅他们自己是最大的挑战”符合语境。故选E。
Passage 7
(贵州安顺市镇宁布依族苗族自治县2026届模拟预测英语试题)Technology is everywhere. Almost all of us carry some piece of technology every time. 31 However, scientists are saying that we need to give ourselves a break—otherwise we put ourselves at risk of developing hundreds of health problems. With all this free time, why not put it to good use and do something without technology?
To start with, you could learn a new skill. There are hundreds of possibilities: crafts, cooking, learning a musical instrument or a new sport. 32 Perhaps you feel like learning how to knit(编织), so you can have a new sweater for the autumn? You could use your free time to learn something new—and perhaps it will lead to an exciting chance in the future.
33 Take along your favorite book and relax on the sand, or go for a walk along the coastline. If you don’t live near a beach, you could go to your local park. Why not take along a picnic, or try and discover some of the local wildlife?
Little things, like challenging yourself to complete a crossword or a sudoku, are a great place to start. You could even follow the latest fashion: adult coloring books! Coloring is amazing. 34
Whatever you choose to do with your summer, try something new! You might surprise yourself. 35 You might make new friends along the way. Next time you find yourself aimlessly switching channels, have a think about what else you could spend your time doing.
A. Sudoku is a challenging game.
B. You might find a hidden talent within you.
C. Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn to cook?
D. If you just want to relax, why not go to a beach?
E. Technology has changed the way we communicate.
F. It’s true to say that technology makes our lives easier.
G. And it can be a nice way to escape from the pressure of modern life!
【答案】31. F 32. C 33. D 34. G 35. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科技虽让生活便捷,但需适当远离。可利用闲暇学新技能、去海滩或公园放松、做些小事,尝试新事物或许会有惊喜。
31. 根据前文“Technology is everywhere. Almost all of us carry some piece of technology every time.(科技无处不在,我们几乎每次都携带一些科技产品。)”提到科技无处不在。以及后文“However, scientists are saying that we need to give ourselves a break — otherwise we put ourselves at risk of developing hundreds of health problems.( 然而,科学家们说我们需要休息一下,否则我们会面临产生数百种健康问题的风险。)”提到科学家们说我们需要休息一下。这里需要一个承上启下,既肯定科技作用又引出转折的句子。F选项“It’s true to say that technology makes our lives easier.(确实,科技使我们的生活更轻松。)”符合语境,先肯定科技让生活便利,再通过 However 转折,引出下文。故选F项。
32. 根据此段主题“To start with, you could learn a new skill. There are hundreds of possibilities: crafts, cooking, learning a musical instrument or a new sport.(首先,你可以学习一项新技能。有数百种可能性:手工艺、烹饪、学习乐器或新运动。)”讲的是学习新技能,并举例说明。后文 “Perhaps you feel like learning how to knit (编织), so you can have a new sweater for the autumn?(也许你想学习如何编织,这样秋天你就能有一件新毛衣了?)”是具体例子。C 选项“Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn to cook?(也许你一直想学习做饭?)”也是学习新技能的具体例子,与上下文衔接紧密。故选C项。
33. 根据后文“Take along your favorite book and relax on the sand, or go for a walk along the coastline. If you don’t live near a beach, you could go to your local park.(带上你最喜欢的书在沙滩上放松,或者沿着海岸线散步。如果你不住在海滩附近,你可以去当地的公园。)”描述的是在海滩或公园放松的场景。D选项“If you just want to relax, why not go to a beach?(如果你只是想放松,为什么不去海滩呢?)”能够引出下文关于在海滩放松的描述。故选D项。
34. 根据前文“Coloring is amazing.(涂色很棒。)”提到涂色很棒,这里需要进一步说明涂色的好处。G选项“And it can be a nice way to escape from the pressure of modern life!(并且它可以是一种摆脱现代生活压力的好方法!)”解释了涂色的益处,与前文衔接合理。故选G项。
35. 根据后文“You might make new friends along the way.(你可能会在这个过程中交到新朋友。)”提到交到新朋友。B 选项“You might find a hidden talent within you.(你可能会发现自己内在隐藏的天赋。)”与之结构相似,且都在说尝试新事物可能带来的积极结果,与上下文连贯。故选B项。
Passage 8
(河南开封市杞县2026届模拟预测英语试题)When Lila moved to her grandmother’s old neighborhood for the summer, she immediately noticed one thing: a dull, gray wall at the street corner. Having studied studio art for three years, she felt the empty space was wasting its potential. What if it could become something that tied the whole community together? She carried the idea around for a week before taking the first step. 36 At first, she worried that local people would show little interest. She printed simple posters and stuck them around the block, inviting anyone to share their ideas for the wall. 37 To her surprise, replies poured in within three days. Retired teachers wrote about local history, and kids sent in drawings of cats and birds they saw every day.
The painting work started on a sunny Saturday morning. People of all ages showed up with paintbrushes in their hands. Elderly residents sat on folding chairs, telling stories of the neighborhood 50 years ago while younger people turned their memories into pictures. 38 Bright flowers, historic shop fronts and playful animals slowly covered the once-gray surface.
When the mural was finished, the street corner became a totally different place. Passers-by would slow down to look at the pictures, and many stopped to take photos. 39 Strangers who had never spoken before started chatting about the stories behind the painting. The wall, once just a forgotten part of the street, became a shared treasure.
Lila learned a big lesson from the project. Art does not only belong in expensive galleries. It can live on a street corner and touch ordinary people’s daily lives. 40
A. Each person added their own small touch to the work.
B. She won a big prize for the community art project.
C. Neighbors began to connect with each other more.
D. She expected only a few replies at most.
E. The local government paid for all the painting materials.
F. That is the true power of public art in ordinary life.
G. She decided to ask the community for ideas first.
【答案】36. G 37. D 38. A 39. C 40. F
【导语】讲述莱拉暑假搬到祖母旧社区,发起社区墙绘项目,征集居民想法、众人共同完成壁画,最终让灰色围墙成为联结邻里的公共艺术品,并感悟公共艺术的力量。
36. 根据前文“She carried the idea around for a week before taking the first step.(这个想法在她心里酝酿了一周,她才迈出第一步)”以及后文“At first, she worried that local people would show little interest. She printed simple posters and stuck them around the block, inviting anyone to share their ideas for the wall.(起初,她担心当地居民不会有多大兴趣。她印制了简易海报,贴在街区各处,邀请所有人分享改造这面墙的创意)”可知,选项承接上文,引出后文张贴海报的行动。G选项“She decided to ask the community for ideas first.(她决定先向社区居民征集想法)”,符合语境。
37. 根据前文“At first, she worried that local people would show little interest.(一开始,她担心当地人几乎不会感兴趣)”以及后文“To her surprise, replies poured in within three days.(令她意外的是,三天内大量想法纷纷传来)”可知,选项呼应前文的担忧,和后文大量反馈形成对比。D选项“She expected only a few replies at most.(她原本以为最多只会收到几条回复)”符合语境。
38. 根据前文“People of all ages showed up with paintbrushes in their hands. Elderly residents sat on folding chairs, telling stories of the neighborhood 50 years ago while younger people turned their memories into pictures.(各个年龄段的居民都手拿画笔前来参与。年长的居民坐在折叠椅上,讲述五十年前这片街区的往事,年轻人则把这些回忆绘成图画)”可知,选项承接上文概括众人共同创作的画面。A选项“Each person added their own small touch to the work.(每个人都为这幅作品添上属于自己的一笔)”符合语境。
39. 根据后文“Strangers who had never spoken before started chatting about the stories behind the painting.(从前互不搭话的陌生人开始聊起壁画背后的故事)”可知,选项体现邻里关系变好。C选项“Neighbors began to connect with each other more.(邻里之间的往来变多了)”总起本段邻里关系的变化。
40. 根据前文“Art does not only belong in expensive galleries. It can live on a street corner and touch ordinary people’s daily lives.(艺术不只存在于昂贵画廊,它可以扎根街角,触动普通人的日常生活)”可知,空处是文章感悟总结。F选项“That is the true power of public art in ordinary life.(这就是公共艺术在平凡生活中真正的力量)”升华主旨,收束全文,符合语境。
Passage 9
(2026届江西三九校联考高三联合质量检测英语试题)
Tips for you to overcome comparison
Identify your triggers(诱因) and avoid them. To stop comparing yourself to others, pay attention to the people or events that cause your behavior. Do you feel discontent with your life after looking at luxury goods? 41 Write down your comparative thoughts as soon as they happen so you can limit your exposure to these situations or avoid them altogether.
42 When you minimize your abilities, it becomes easier to compare yourself to others. To avoid this negative behavior, make a list of your strengths and talents. By acknowledging your best qualities, you can learn to love yourself.
Keep a gratitude journal. To start journaling, reflect on the little things that bring you joy and write down why you’re grateful for them. Keeping a gratitude journal can increase your chances of overcoming comparison, but you may forget about it if you have a busy schedule. 43
Work on improving your abilities. Instead of focusing on your “weaknesses”, reflect on the areas you can improve. 44 Besides, don’t be afraid to ask other people for help along the way. By prioritizing yourself, you can boost your self-confidence and find your place and value.
Appreciate others instead of envying them. 45 If you have friends who are highly achieving people, you might consider that their networks are full of people who might be able to help you become more successful in your life. Instead of envying their success, be supportive and use their success to your advantage.
A. Write down your positive qualities.
B. Do you set goals to achieve your dream?
C. Consider the advantage that others can bring you.
D. Recognize everyone’s circumstances are entirely unique.
E. Take classes or workshops to develop your skills and techniques.
F. Is there someone who constantly makes you feel bad about yourself?
G. Set a reminder to write at least once a week so you can actively express appreciation.
【答案】41. F 42. A 43. G 44. E 45. C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了停止将自己与他人进行比较的几种方法。
【详解】41. 根据空前的“To stop comparing yourself to others, pay attention to the people or events that cause your behavior. Do you feel discontent with your life after looking at luxury goods?(不要再拿自己和别人比较,注意那些导致你行为的人和事。看完奢侈品后,你会对自己的生活感到不满吗?)”可知,为了避免与他人进行比较,要弄清楚这种行为的原因,进而用提问的形式列出原因,结合空后的“Write down your comparative thoughts as soon as they happen so you can limit your exposure to these situations or avoid them altogether.(一旦你有了比较的想法,就把它们写下来,这样你就可以限制自己接触这些情况,或者完全避免它们。)”可知,一旦出现这种相比较的想法,就把它写下来,由此可知,此空处继续列处产生与别人比较的想法,F选项“Is there someone who constantly makes you feel bad about yourself?(有没有总是让你感觉不好的人?)”为一般疑问句,与空前的结构一致,且表达的内容为让人们产生比较想法的原因。故选F项。
42. 分析语篇可知,此处应为本段的主题句,所以,此空处与其它段落的主题句一样为祈使句,根据空后的“To avoid this negative behavior, make a list of your strengths and talents. By acknowledging your best qualities, you can learn to love yourself.(为了避免这种消极的行为,列出你的优点和才能。通过承认自己最好的品质,你可以学会爱自己。)”可知,为避免与他人比较,建议列出自己的优点和才能,A选项“Write down your positive qualities.(写下你积极的品质。)” 为祈使句且,其中的positive qualities与本段的内容一致。故选A项。
43. 根据空前的“Keeping a gratitude journal can increase your chances of overcoming comparison, but you may forget about it if you have a busy schedule.(写感恩日记可以增加你克服攀比的机会,但如果你的日程很忙,你可能会忘记这一点。)”可知,写感恩日记能帮助克服攀比的机会,但是,很忙的时候,可能会忘记,G选项“Set a reminder to write at least once a week so you can actively express appreciation.(设置一个提醒,每周至少写一次,这样你就可以积极地表达感激之情。)”可知,此处的write与本段的主题句“Keep a gratitude journal.(写感恩日记)”内容相关,为解题的关键,同时,此处解决了空前出现的遗忘写感恩日记的问题,符合语境。故选G项。
44. 根据本段的主题句“Work on improving your abilities.(努力提高自己的能力。)”可知,本段建议提升自己的能力,E选项“Take classes or workshops to develop your skills and techniques.(参加课程或研讨会来发展你的技能和技巧。)”讲述的内容是发展自己的技能和技巧,与本段的主题improve your abilities吻合。故选E项。
45. 根据空后的“If you have friends who are highly achieving people, you might consider that their networks are full of people who might be able to help you become more successful in your life.(如果你有一些非常成功的朋友,你可能会想到他们的社交网络中充满了能够帮助你在生活中变得更成功的人。)”可知,此处讲述的是利用好朋友社交网络中的人,这些人能够帮助你变得更成功,C选项“Consider the advantage that others can bring you.(考虑别人能给你带来的好处。)”讲述的是考虑一下其他人给你带来的好处,与空后列举的情况吻合。故选C项。
Passage 10
(山东威海市实验高级中学2025-2026学年度高三下学期诊断性考试英语试题)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. 46
You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment. 47 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.” 48 It stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one.
49 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. 50 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】46. C 47. D 48. F 49. G 50. B
【导语】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。
46. 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。
47. 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。
48. 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。
49. 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。
50. 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。

2.高考例题分析
(2026全国一卷)Museums, once quiet places filled with history, are now full of digital excitement. By using machine learning and advanced algorithms(算法), these institutions are creating personalized visitor journeys, protecting delicate collections, and revealing hidden stories. 36. In short, AI is redefining the museum in all respects.
AI transforms a standard museum trip into a personalized and interactive adventure. Smart recommendation engines analyze data such as exhibit popularity and visitors’ past behavior to suggest specific exhibits and events, making each visit unique and surprising. ____37____ These digital assistants engage visitors in dynamic conversations and offer context-sensitive insights that deepen understanding and satisfy curiosity.
Beyond visitor interaction, AI plays a crucial role in preserving priceless artworks. Since the exhibits in museums sustain natural decay(破损) over time, early detection is vital. AI can help identify the slightest signs of decay, such as cracks or discoloration, which are often invisible to the human eye. ____38____ Moreover, by predicting future decay patterns, AI helps museums take preventive measures and improve preservation strategies.
AI also significantly enhances the educational value of museums, particularly for children and families. ____39____ For instance, interactive exhibits powered by AI can adjust their content and difficulty level based on the user’s preferences and responses. This adaptability ensures that complex historical concepts become accessible and engaging for young minds.
Looking ahead, the rapid advancement of AI promises both exciting possibilities and ethical(伦理的) challenges. Museums are working together with AI ethicists to develop fair algorithms. 40. Visitor data collection also raises privacy issues. Strict policies should be established to protect visitors’ information.
A. This capability allows for timely restoration.
B. Visitor data collection also raises privacy issues.
C. In short, AI is redefining the museum in all respects.
D. It tailors learning experiences to different age groups and learning styles.

(2026全国一卷 )Museums, once quiet places filled with history, are now full of digital excitement. By using machine learning and advanced algorithms(算法), these institutions are creating personalized visitor journeys, protecting delicate collections, and revealing hidden stories. 36. In short, AI is redefining the museum in all respects.
AI transforms a standard museum trip into a personalized and interactive adventure. Smart recommendation engines analyze data such as exhibit popularity and visitors’ past behavior to suggest specific exhibits and events, making each visit unique and surprising. 37. Furthermore, AI-powered virtual guides are replacing traditional tour guides. These digital assistants engage visitors in dynamic conversations and offer context-sensitive insights that deepen understanding and satisfy curiosity.
Beyond visitor interaction, AI plays a crucial role in preserving priceless artworks. Since the exhibits in museums sustain natural decay(破损) over time, early detection is vital. AI can help identify the slightest signs of decay, such as cracks or discoloration, which are often invisible to the human eye. 38. This capability allows for timely restoration. Moreover, by predicting future decay patterns, AI helps museums take preventive measures and improve preservation strategies.
AI also significantly enhances the educational value of museums, particularly for children and families. 39. It tailors learning experiences to different age groups and learning styles. For instance, interactive exhibits powered by AI can adjust their content and difficulty level based on the user’s preferences and responses. This adaptability ensures that complex historical concepts become accessible and engaging for young minds.

Passage 1
(2026届江苏南京市部分学校“零模”考前训练题英语)Dreaming big doesn’t mean we suddenly want to be a millionaire or become famous. That’s because “bigger” is a relative term. If we currently have no dreams, dreaming bigger might just mean a small goal that we want to reach. But even that is not always easy. So how do you start dreaming bigger?
Cultivate Confidence.
To achieve big things, you have to believe that you can. Therefore, the first thing we need to dream big is to get a confidence boost. Try to remember a time when you succeeded in doing something you set your mind to. 1
Face Fear of Failure.
The fear of doing something big can be intense. What if we fail? What then? If this sounds like you, it may be helpful to develop the belief that growth and learning are more important than success or other people’s opinions. 2 That way we can better enjoy the pursuit, even if it ultimately does result in failure.
Face Fear of Success.
Success can mean different things to different people. For example, success might mean feeling like the odd one out in your family or friend group. 3 Or, it could lead to jealousy from others. But taking a closer outlook at these fears and thinking about how you might deal with them can help you move through them.
Use Your Imagination.
4 Maybe you imagine yourself owning your own business, having a big family, or traveling all over the world. Then does living this life feel good or authentic? Use this exercise to better understand which big dreams are a good fit for you.
Enjoy the Process.
Sometimes we end up spending so much time focusing on big dreams that we forget to enjoy the process. Indeed, big dreams can help us imagine a life or a future we’ve never known. 5 If we don’t enjoy the process, it’s going to be tough to get there.
A. But big dreams take time.
B. We are taking control of our lives.
C. Striving towards dreams can decrease well-being.
D. It might mean more responsibility than you really want.
E. Use your experiences as inspiration and self-motivation.
F. Start by visualizing a variety of different possible exciting outcomes.
G. It can help you shift your focus to the journey instead of the end goal
Passage 2
(江苏南京市江宁高级中学2027届一模英语试题)
Exciting Challenges to Do with Friends
Are you tired of usual old games? 6 ? Are you needing a funny challenge? Our list has something for every friend group.
Blindfolded Drawing Challenge
Put your art skills to the test with a drawing game. 7 before starting the challenge. Take turns putting on a blindfold. Grab paper and a pencil, and draw different prompts, like “a dog” or “your favorite food.” Then, when everyone has taken a turn, compare your drawings to see whose artwork best matched the prompt.
Guess The Song Challenge
Test your musical knowledge and memory with this challenge. Begin by writing clues (the first verse or lyric to your favorite song) on a piece of paper, and have all your friends do the same. 8 . Go around the group, and have each participant draw a paper at random. You must try to guess which lyrics come next, and whoever guesses the fastest wins. If you draw your own piece of paper, put it back in the bowl and grab another.
9
Create your own DIY escape room at home for this challenge. Plan an escape room by hiding clues all over a room and a key that unlocks a door. Friends then compete to see who can find the key and escape the room in the shortest time! For example, you could come up with a scenario where your friends are trapped in a room, and they’re looking for clues leading to open the door.
10 . They help us relax, understand each other better, and cherish genuine friendship. They leave us warm and precious memories.
A. Escape Room Challenge

F. You can invite your classmates to join you
G. Then place all clues in a bowl and mix them up
Passage 3
(浙江绍兴市第一中学2026届最后一卷模拟预测英语试题)Do you treat new attempts like jumping into a cold pool? You stand there for ages, thinking about it, planning for it, making emotional speeches about it, yet you still don’t jump in. 11 This way of thinking means you stop waiting for the perfect time, or the perfect idea or the perfect version of yourself. You simply start — even if your work is a little messy.
Many people think perfectionism is a good thing. It sounds impressive, and it makes you seem serious and thoughtful. But sometimes perfectionism is just fear wearing glasses and carrying a clipboard, telling you, “Don’t begin until everything is just right.” 12
This is true in almost every part of life. Maybe you want to be a videographer, writer, or musician — or perhaps you just want to speak in public without feeling like your soul has left your body. 13 First attempts rarely are. The good news is that action teaches faster than overthinking. When you actually do something, you get feedback. 14 That’s how we grow: not by waiting until we’re “naturally good,” but by being brave enough to be a little bad first.
15 It involves doing your best, sending it out, and learning from the result. We’re all works in progress. So go ahead. Start before you feel ready because, in real life, done beats perfect almost every time. Jump in. The water is just fine.
A. You see what works and what doesn’t.
B. Taking action anyway doesn’t mean being careless.
C. But you’re worried that your work won’t be remarkable.
D. Finishing and presenting something slightly messy is fine.
E. A perfect start is surely better than completed imperfect effort.
F. The problem is that nothing becomes excellent without a beginning.
G. That’s where the mindset of taking action anyway becomes important.
Passage 4
(湖北武汉市第四十九中学2026届考前第二次适应性模拟考试英语试题)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.
16 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. 17 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. 18 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). 19
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! 20 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.
Passage 5
(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)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. 21 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. 22
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. 23 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.
24 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. 25 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 6
(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英语试卷)
Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
26 Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. 27 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 28 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
29 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 30 But it can rob you of your selfconfidence if you don’t do it.
A. Why should you forgive?
B. How should you start to forgive?
C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.
E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stressmanagement technique.
G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.
Passage 7
(贵州安顺市镇宁布依族苗族自治县2026届模拟预测英语试题)Technology is everywhere. Almost all of us carry some piece of technology every time. 31 However, scientists are saying that we need to give ourselves a break—otherwise we put ourselves at risk of developing hundreds of health problems. With all this free time, why not put it to good use and do something without technology?
To start with, you could learn a new skill. There are hundreds of possibilities: crafts, cooking, learning a musical instrument or a new sport. 32 Perhaps you feel like learning how to knit(编织), so you can have a new sweater for the autumn? You could use your free time to learn something new—and perhaps it will lead to an exciting chance in the future.
33 Take along your favorite book and relax on the sand, or go for a walk along the coastline. If you don’t live near a beach, you could go to your local park. Why not take along a picnic, or try and discover some of the local wildlife?
Little things, like challenging yourself to complete a crossword or a sudoku, are a great place to start. You could even follow the latest fashion: adult coloring books! Coloring is amazing. 34
Whatever you choose to do with your summer, try something new! You might surprise yourself. 35 You might make new friends along the way. Next time you find yourself aimlessly switching channels, have a think about what else you could spend your time doing.
A. Sudoku is a challenging game.
B. You might find a hidden talent within you.
C. Maybe you’ve always wanted to learn to cook?
D. If you just want to relax, why not go to a beach?
E. Technology has changed the way we communicate.
F. It’s true to say that technology makes our lives easier.
G. And it can be a nice way to escape from the pressure of modern life!
Passage 8
(河南开封市杞县2026届模拟预测英语试题)When Lila moved to her grandmother’s old neighborhood for the summer, she immediately noticed one thing: a dull, gray wall at the street corner. Having studied studio art for three years, she felt the empty space was wasting its potential. What if it could become something that tied the whole community together? She carried the idea around for a week before taking the first step. 36 At first, she worried that local people would show little interest. She printed simple posters and stuck them around the block, inviting anyone to share their ideas for the wall. 37 To her surprise, replies poured in within three days. Retired teachers wrote about local history, and kids sent in drawings of cats and birds they saw every day.
The painting work started on a sunny Saturday morning. People of all ages showed up with paintbrushes in their hands. Elderly residents sat on folding chairs, telling stories of the neighborhood 50 years ago while younger people turned their memories into pictures. 38 Bright flowers, historic shop fronts and playful animals slowly covered the once-gray surface.
When the mural was finished, the street corner became a totally different place. Passers-by would slow down to look at the pictures, and many stopped to take photos. 39 Strangers who had never spoken before started chatting about the stories behind the painting. The wall, once just a forgotten part of the street, became a shared treasure.
Lila learned a big lesson from the project. Art does not only belong in expensive galleries. It can live on a street corner and touch ordinary people’s daily lives. 40
A. Each person added their own small touch to the work.
B. She won a big prize for the community art project.
C. Neighbors began to connect with each other more.
D. She expected only a few replies at most.
E. The local government paid for all the painting materials.
F. That is the true power of public art in ordinary life.
G. She decided to ask the community for ideas first.
Passage 9
(2026届江西三九校联考高三联合质量检测英语试题)
Tips for you to overcome comparison
Identify your triggers(诱因) and avoid them. To stop comparing yourself to others, pay attention to the people or events that cause your behavior. Do you feel discontent with your life after looking at luxury goods? 41 Write down your comparative thoughts as soon as they happen so you can limit your exposure to these situations or avoid them altogether.
42 When you minimize your abilities, it becomes easier to compare yourself to others. To avoid this negative behavior, make a list of your strengths and talents. By acknowledging your best qualities, you can learn to love yourself.
Keep a gratitude journal. To start journaling, reflect on the little things that bring you joy and write down why you’re grateful for them. Keeping a gratitude journal can increase your chances of overcoming comparison, but you may forget about it if you have a busy schedule. 43
Work on improving your abilities. Instead of focusing on your “weaknesses”, reflect on the areas you can improve. 44 Besides, don’t be afraid to ask other people for help along the way. By prioritizing yourself, you can boost your self-confidence and find your place and value.
Appreciate others instead of envying them. 45 If you have friends who are highly achieving people, you might consider that their networks are full of people who might be able to help you become more successful in your life. Instead of envying their success, be supportive and use their success to your advantage.
A. Write down your positive qualities.
B. Do you set goals to achieve your dream?
C. Consider the advantage that others can bring you.
D. Recognize everyone’s circumstances are entirely unique.
E. Take classes or workshops to develop your skills and techniques.
F. Is there someone who constantly makes you feel bad about yourself?
G. Set a reminder to write at least once a week so you can actively express appreciation.
Passage 10
(山东威海市实验高级中学2025-2026学年度高三下学期诊断性考试英语试题)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. 46
You think acting like a pessimistic loser protects you from disappointment. 47 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.” 48 It stops looking for the exit because you have already announced that there isn’t one.
49 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. 50 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.
