(2026全国一卷B)Not long ago, my fifth-grade son Kevin asked me about the meaning of a word in a novel. “Look it up,” I responded. “But my screen time is off,” he said. I looked pointedly at the bookshelf that held at least three dictionaries, and Kevin sighed (叹气) dramatically. “Can’t you just use your phone?” he asked. Suddenly it occurred to me that he did not even know how to use a dictionary.
I took down one of the dictionaries, and we read it together for a few minutes before I handed it to him. It took him a few tries to find the word in question. While going through the pages, he kept saying, wide-eyed: “How can there be this many words?” After a while, he looked at me and asked, “Do you know all these words, Mom?” I smiled. “I definitely do not know all these words,” I said. “But that’s why this is one of my favorite books.”
I had my first dictionary as a gift for my 13th birthday. I decided that I wanted to learn as many words as I could and started marking every entry I looked up with a pencil to measure my progress. I continued to make these pencil marks for years, and when I went off to college, I packed that dictionary in my suitcase.
Kevin wanted to see the dictionary. I felt a small pain in my chest. The dictionary was stolen at the end of my freshman year of college. “That’s so sad,” he said, “but you still know all those words, even without the book.” I realized that this was true. I still made it through the next three years of college, even without the book. And it wasn’t, ultimately, the dictionary that got me there — not really.
Now I understand that although my son may be learning differently, he is still learning. It’s not about the words themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to know them, the curiosity and the appetite.
4. What does Kevin usually do to get the meaning of a word?
A. Use electronic devices. B. Consult a paper dictionary.
C. Guess from the context. D. Turn to his English teacher.
5. How did Kevin feel while looking up the word in the dictionary?
A. Annoyed. B. Disappointed. C. Encouraged. D. Astonished.
6. What can we learn about the author’s first dictionary?
A. It helped her through college. B. It was given to Kevin as a gift.
C. It bore witness to her efforts. D. It was a valuable limited edition.
7. What has the author come to realize about learning?
A. It is never too late to start. B. Motivation is what really matters.
C. Children need role models. D. Dictionaries are still a useful tool.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B
【语篇导读】文章主要讲述了作者回忆自己通过纸质词典学习单词的经历,并与儿子使用电子设备查询单词的方式形成对比,最终意识到学习的本质在于好奇心与求知欲。
4. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Not long ago, my fifth-grade son Kevin asked me about the meaning of a word in a novel. “Look it up,” I responded. “But my screen time is off,” he said. I looked pointedly at the bookshelf that held at least three dictionaries, and Kevin sighed (叹气) dramatically. “Can’t you just use your phone?” he asked. (不久前,我上五年级的儿子Kevin问我一本小说里某个词的意思。“查字典,”我回答。“但是我的屏幕使用时间已经用完了,”他说。我刻意地看向放着至少三本字典的书架,Kevin夸张地叹了口气。“你就不能用你的手机查吗?”他问道。)”可知,作者提示Kevin用纸质词典查单词,但他想用手机,说明Kevin通常使用电子设备来获取单词的意思。
5. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I took down one of the dictionaries, and we read it together for a few minutes before I handed it to him. It took him a few tries to find the word in question. While going through the pages, he kept saying, wide-eyed: “How can there be this many words?” (我取下一本字典,我们一起读了几分钟,然后我把它递给了他。他试了好几次才找到那个词。在翻阅书页时,他睁大眼睛不停地说:“怎么会有这么多单词?”)”可知,Kevin查字典才发现有那么多单词,他感到很惊讶。
6. 推理判断题。根据第三段“I had my first dictionary as a gift for my 13th birthday. I decided that I wanted to learn as many words as I could and started marking every entry I looked up with a pencil to measure my progress. I continued to make these pencil marks for years, and when I went off to college, I packed that dictionary in my suitcase. (我的第一本字典是我13岁生日时的礼物。我决定要尽可能多地学习单词,并开始用铅笔在我查过的每个词条旁做标记来衡量自己的进步。我持续做这些铅笔标记多年,上大学时,我把那本字典装进了行李箱)”可知,作者的第一本字典见证了她进入大学之前的整个努力过程。
7. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now I understand that although my son may be learning differently, he is still learning. It’s not about the words themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to know them, the curiosity and the appetite. (现在我明白了,虽然我的儿子可能以不同的方式学习,但他仍在学习。重要的不是单词本身或我们如何学习它们,而是想知道它们的欲望、好奇心和求知欲)”可知,作者意识到学习的真正关键在于动机和好奇心。

Passage 3
(2025-2026学年高一下·广东·期末)Mr. Johnson, a high school history teacher, had long noticed a worrying trend in his classroom. While his students could carefully remember dates, names and events for exams, they always failed to understand the human side of history. To them, the past seemed a fixed set of facts, without emotion, struggle or personal meaning. Wanting to fix this gap, Mr. Johnson decided to completely change his teaching way in the middle of the semester, trading a traditional research report for a story-writing task.
He asked his students to pick a historical figure and write a story from his or her perspective. The task was confusing at first, but soon the classroom was full of active questions and discussion. One student learned deeply about the life of a young soldier in World War I, writing a sad and moving story of the mud, fear and fragile friendship in the trench lines. Another told the story of a female scholar from the Renaissance, making up a tale of her love for learning being held back by social rules. The thorough research and creative care for how the figure felt that the students showed was amazing.
Mr. Johnson was surprised by the big change in his students. The essays he got were not just correct; they were full of real feelings and a clear understanding of people’s thoughts. The students had stopped just repeating facts and truly connected with history, seeing historical figures as people with many different sides instead of just names from a long time ago. In later class talks, their questions changed from “What happened?” to “Why did they feel that way?” and “What would I have done?”. This story-writing method didn’t just help them remember facts better; it built up their ability to think deeply and their real care for how others felt.
Inspired by this success, Mr. Johnson has now made story-telling a regular part of his lessons. He believes that when students learn to experience history through story-telling, they do more than just remember it — they start to understand its long-lasting effects on their own lives and what it means to be human in general. In his classroom, history is no longer just a subject about the past; it has become a talk with the past.
7. What was Mr. Johnson’s initial problem with his students?
A. They preferred science over history.
B. They were not interested in history at all.
C. They could not memorize historical facts.
D. They lacked emotional connection to history.
8. How did Mr. Johnson change his teaching method?
A. He gave students more fact-based research papers.
B. He guided students to write in past figures’ voice.
C. He showed more historical documentaries with facts.
D. He invited historians to give lectures in his classroom.
9. What did the students’ essays demonstrate after the new assignment?
A. They contained more dates and facts than before.
B. They showed better memorization of historical events.
C. They were shorter but more accurate than previous work.
D. They reflected emotional understanding and personal insight.
10. What is the main message of the text?
A. History should value facts over emotions.
B. History should be taught through story writing.
C. History is more than facts — it’s human stories.
D. Students should ask questions when learning history.
【答案】7. D 8. B 9. D 10. C
【语篇导读】这篇文章主要讲述了约翰逊老师发现学生只会死记历史史实、缺乏人文感悟,于是改用人物视角故事写作教学。该方法让学生深度共情、独立思考,让历史学习不再局限于记事实。
7. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“While his students could carefully remember dates, names and events for exams, they always failed to understand the human side of history. To them, the past seemed a fixed set of facts, without emotion, struggle or personal meaning. (尽管学生们能准确记住考试所需的日期、姓名和事件,但他们却始终无法理解历史背后的人性层面。对他们而言,过去似乎是一组固定不变的事实,缺乏情感、挣扎和个人意义。)”可知,学生虽然能记住考试所需的日期、人名和事件,但无法理解历史的人文维度,缺乏情感共鸣。
8. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Wanting to fix this gap, Mr. Johnson decided to completely change his teaching way in the middle of the semester, trading a traditional research report for a story-writing task. (为了弥补这一差距,约翰逊先生决定在学期中彻底改变教学方式,将传统的研究报告作业替换为故事写作任务。)”以及第二段中“He asked his students to pick a historical figure and write a story from his or her perspective. (他让学生们选择一位历史人物,从该人物的视角撰写一个故事。)”可推知,约翰逊先生让学生以历史人物的视角进行创作。
9. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Mr. Johnson was surprised by the big change in his students. The essays he got were not just correct; they were full of real feelings and a clear understanding of people’s thoughts. (约翰逊先生对学生们发生的巨大变化感到十分惊讶。他收到的作文不仅正确,而且充满了真实的情感,对人们的思想有清晰的理解。)”可知,学生在完成新任务后,他们的文章反映出更强的情感理解和个人见解。
10. 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“He believes that when students learn to experience history through story-telling, they do more than just remember it — they start to understand its long-lasting effects on their own lives and what it means to be human in general. In his classroom, history is no longer just a subject about the past; it has become a talk with the past. (他认为,当学生通过讲故事来体验历史时,他们所做的远不止记忆历史——他们开始理解历史对自己生活产生的深远影响,也更深刻地体会到作为人类的普遍意义。在他的课堂上,历史已不再仅仅是一门关于过去的知识,而成为与过去对话的过程。)”可知,全文以约翰逊老师的教学改革为例,核心观点是:历史不只是冰冷的事实集合,更是有血有肉的人的故事;学习者需要建立与历史的情感联结,理解历史背后的人性。由此可知,这段文字的主要信息是历史不仅仅是事实,更是人类的故事。
Passage 4
(2025-2026学年高一下·广东汕头·期末)Nowadays, short videos have become a common part of teenage life. Most students watch short videos for fun in their free time. However, a group of Grade One students turned this popular tool into a powerful way to spread low-carbon ideas in 2026.
Last term, Li Man and her classmates signed up for a school environmental club. Their adviser suggested they create short videos about daily green acts instead of holding boring speeches. At first, some teenagers doubted this idea. They thought short videos were only for entertainment and could not make a real difference to environmental protection.
To prove their idea, the team divided work among members. Some students recorded daily low-carbon moves: riding bikes to school, sorting rubbish, reusing paper notebooks and taking cloth bags shopping. Others searched for simple environmental data and explained it in easy words on camera. Every week they posted one video on the school’s official account. They also encouraged other teens to share their own green clips with the tag #Teen Low Carbon Life.
Three months later, the result was beyond their expectation. Over 800 students in the school joined their video activity. Many parents said their kids changed living habits after watching the videos. Some local community centers even invited the student group to share their video-making experience.
Li Man said the biggest gain from this teenage project was not praise or prizes. “We used to think one student’s small action meant nothing. But when hundreds of teenagers stand together and voice the same idea, our carbon footprint will become smaller little by little.” She added that they would keep making short videos and hope more young people could take environmental responsibility.
Teachers believe this activity sets a good example for teenagers. It shows teens can use online tools wisely and turn their spare time into meaningful teenage experiences.
11. What does the underlined word “doubted” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. accepted B. questioned C. ignored D. admired
12. What can we infer about the student group’s videos?
A. They only show school club meetings.
B. They use hard professional environmental reports.
C. They attract students and even get attention from communities.
D. They were posted on many famous video platforms nationwide.
13. What is Li Man’s attitude towards their video project?
A. Disappointed B. Uncertain C. Supportive and proud D. Worried
14. What is the main idea of the text?
A. How teenagers make interesting short videos for fun.
B. A group of freshmen use short videos to carry out low-carbon activities.
C. Different kinds of after-school clubs in high school.
D. The bad influence of short videos on teenagers’ study.
【答案】11. B 12. C 13. C 14. B
【语篇导读】文章主要说明了2026年一群初一学生受老师建议,拍摄低碳生活短视频在校官号发布,吸引全校学生参与,获社区认可。他们坚信少年合力能减碳,并会持续制作短视频传递环保理念。
11. 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“They thought short videos were only for entertainment and could not make a real difference to environmental protection.(他们认为短视频仅用于娱乐,无法真正对环境保护产生影响)”可知,老师提议用短视频宣传环保,后文提到学生认为短视频只是娱乐,无法真正助力环保。可见学生质疑、不相信这个方案。故划线词意思是“怀疑”。
12. 推理判断题。根据第四段“Over 800 students in the school joined their video activity. Many parents said their kids changed living habits after watching the videos. Some local community centers even invited the student group to share their video-making experience.(学校有800多名学生参与了视频活动。许多家长表示,孩子们在观看视频后改变了生活习惯。一些当地社区中心甚至邀请该学生小组分享他们的视频制作经验)”可知,学生群体的视频能够吸引学生,甚至引起社区的关注。
13. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Li Man said the biggest gain from this teenage project was not praise or prizes. “We used to think one student’s small action meant nothing. But when hundreds of teenagers stand together and voice the same idea, our carbon footprint will become smaller little by little.” She added that they would keep making short videos and hope more young people could take environmental responsibility.(李曼表示,这个青少年项目最大的收获并非表扬或奖项。“我们过去一直认为,一个学生的一点小举动毫无意义。但当数百名青少年齐心协力、表达相同的想法时,我们的碳足迹就会一点一点减少。”她补充说,他们将继续制作短视频,并希望更多年轻人能够承担起环保责任)”可知,李曼对他们的视频项目感到支持且自豪。
14. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Nowadays, short videos have become a common part of teenage life. Most students watch short videos for fun in their free time. However, a group of Grade One students turned this popular tool into a powerful way to spread low-carbon ideas in 2026.(如今,短视频已成为青少年生活中常见的部分。大多数学生在空闲时间通过观看短视频来娱乐消遣。然而,一群初一的学生在2026年将这一流行工具转化为传播低碳理念的有力方式)”结合文章主要说明了2026年一群初一学生受老师建议,拍摄低碳生活短视频在校官号发布,吸引全校学生参与,获社区认可。他们坚信少年合力能减碳,并会持续制作短视频传递环保理念。可知,文章主旨是一群初一学生通过短视频开展低碳活动。
Passage 5
(2025-2026学年高一下·山东潍坊·阶段检测)Every Friday afternoon, a corner of our school art room became a repair studio. Students brought things that were too useful to throw away but too damaged to use easily, a shirt with a 10m pocket, a pencil box without a handle, an old cloth bag from a grandparent. A useful object can carry beauty without looking new. The aim was not to make everything perfect. It was to let care become noticeable, even when the repair mark stayed on the surface.
In the first lesson, our art teacher began with a small blue patch(补丁) from her hometown. Its pattern was simple, but each line had been made by hand. It was not a museum lesson, but the objects made history feel close. Students who had thought “traditional craft(手艺) ” meant something far from daily life began to ask how people learned these skills and why families kept them.
The most successful repairs began with careful looking. Before touching needles or glue, groups described the material, the weak point and the story behind the object. One group found that a schoolbag kept tearing because heavy books pulled on one narrow strap(背带) . Their new patch was not placed over the hole only; it also spread the weight across a wider area.
The project also changed how students talked about jobs. A designer needed imagination, but also respect for the user. An engineer had to think about strength and shape. A craftsperson made decisions with both hands and eyes. These ideas helped students see that good work is rarely just fast work.
At the exhibition, no object looked exactly new. Bright thread crossed dark cloth, and a wooden box showed a smooth line where it had been joined. Nobody asked which piece had cost the most. Students were surprised to find that patience had become a shared skill. They had not only repaired objects; they had practised a way of seeing the world. What is old or broken may still be worth time, thought and a second chance.
15. What is the main purpose of setting up the repair studio?
A. To collect worn things. B. To show the warmth of care.
C. To teach students repair skills. D. To make broken items look new.
16. What change did the first lesson bring about in the students?
A. They grew interested in crafts. B. They learned more traditional crafts.
C. They considered patches artistic. D. They better understood the museum’s history.
17. Why is the schoolbag repair mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To describe the basic repair steps. B. To stress the advantage of teamwork.
C. To prove the value of careful observation. D. To introduce common damage to schoolbags.
18. What might be the best title of this text?
A. Tiny Patches, Big Dreams B. Lost Crafts, New Skills Gained
C. Quick Fixes, Lasting Values D. Old Repairs, New Views of Life
【答案】15. B 16. A 17. C 18. D
【语篇导读】文章讲述学校开设物品修补工坊活动,介绍修补过程、学生收获及其带给学生的生活与职业认知改变。
15. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The aim was not to make everything perfect. It was to let care become noticeable, even when the repair mark stayed on the surface.(其目的不是让所有东西变得完美,而是让关怀变得显而易见,即便修补痕迹留在物品表面)”可知,开设修补工坊的主要目的是展现关怀的温暖。
16. 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Students who had thought “traditional craft (手艺) ” meant something far from daily life began to ask how people learned these skills and why families kept them.(那些曾认为“传统手艺”远离日常生活的学生,开始询问人们如何习得这些技能以及家庭传承它们的原因)”可知,第一课让学生对传统手艺产生了兴趣。
17. 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The most successful repairs began with careful looking.(最成功的修补始于细致的观察)”以及后文书包修补的具体案例可知,作者提及修补书包的例子,是为了证明细致观察在修补工作中的重要价值。
18. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“They had not only repaired objects; they had practised a way of seeing the world. What is old or broken may still be worth time, thought and a second chance.(他们不仅修补了物品,还践行了一种看待世界的方式。老旧或破损的事物依然值得花费时间、心思,值得被重新善待)”可知,文章围绕修补旧物的活动展开,重点讲述该活动让学生对生活、事物产生全新的认知。因此最佳标题为“旧物修补,全新人生视角”。
Passage 6
(2025-2026学年高一下·辽宁·期末)In classrooms and school board meetings across the U.S., a new generation of climate activists is making its voice heard. Teenagers, fed up with inaction on climate change, are leading a movement to retrofit(翻新) schools with eco-friendly upgrades.
Ila Coleman, 17, a senior at Grant High School in Portland, first got involved after learning her school spent $32,000 annually on electricity. “We knew we had to act.” Coleman and her classmates founded the “Green Grant(拨款)” club, researched energy-saving options, and presented a detailed proposal to the Portland Public Schools board. Their efforts paid off: the district approved $1.2 million in funding for retrofitting the school, which includes installing solar panels and upgrading lighting systems. Since last year, the school’s energy bills have dropped by 35%, and carbon emissions have fallen by 28%.
“We’re not just saving money — we’re teaching the school community about sustainability,” Coleman said. The club now leads monthly workshops on recycling, composting, and climate science, and has partnered with local environmental groups to plant native trees on campus. “Students used to ask, ‘What can one person do about climate change?’ Now they’re seeing tangible results from their own actions.”
“The passion and creativity of these young activists is remarkable,” said Dr. Lena Torres, an environmental scientist who works with student groups. “When students see solar panels on their roof or learn how to track energy use, they’re more likely to adopt sustainable habits at home.” The movement has also gained support from educators. Many teachers have integrated climate science and sustainability into their lesson plans. “My students are more engaged when they’re learning about something that’s happening right outside their classroom,” said a biology teacher.
19. What do we know about Ila Coleman?
A. She leaves sustainability behind.
B. She is an initiator of Green Grant.
C. She helped secure 1.2 million club fund.
D. She gathered proposals to the school board.
20. What is the main purpose of the Green Grant Club?
A. To advocate eco-awareness. B. To hold monthly workshops.
C. To partner with local groups. D. To reduce school running cost.
21. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Students adopt the habits to track energy use.
B. Teen activists are less keen about environment.
C. Teachers find a new way to engage students in class.
D. Scientists and educators think little of the movement.
22. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Sustainability Always Goes First B. Solar Energy Bears Bright Prospects

Passage 7
(2025-2026学年高一下·河北衡水·阶段检测)Mr. Jesse Barrett was my high school English teacher, who left a deep lifelong influence on me. I was a quiet shy teenager back then, too afraid to speak in public and never dared to share my opinions in class discussions. I hid myself in the corner of the classroom every English lesson.
One day, Mr. Barrett assigned a speech task about favorite writers. I prepared carefully at home but still planned to give up presenting on the stage. When it was my turn, I froze and could not say a single word. Just as I was ready to run back to my seat in embarrassment, Mr. Barrett smiled gently and told the whole class to wait patiently. He walked to my side and whispered: “Your draft is wonderful. Take your time. I believe you can do it.” His warm encouragement calmed my nerves gradually. I finished my speech slowly, and the whole class cheered for me warmly afterward. After class, Mr. Barrett talked with me patiently. He told me that every voice deserves to be heard, and true confidence comes from bravely showing ourselves instead of staying hidden.
During the following two years, he kept offering me chances to join class speeches and English debates. Step by step, I became outgoing and brave enough to express my ideas freely. Years later, I chose journalism as my major in college, exactly because of the inspiration from Mr. Barrett. A good teacher does not only teach knowledge, but also lights up students’ inner world.

Passage 8
(2025-2026学年高一下·福建福州·期末)I was on the edge of burnout, after months of hard preparation for the college entrance exams. Stress and tiredness piled up day after day. Every day was filled with textbooks and endless practice papers, and I had gradually moved away from music, the very thing that once brought me the greatest joy.
One weekend, when I walked aimlessly in the city street to release pressure, I happened to come across a street music festival. Among the performers was a young girl around my age, who had a voice that seemed to cut through my tiredness and I couldn’t help tapping my feet, with a long-lost sense of excitement welling up inside. All my tired thoughts were swept away by her beautiful singing.
That performance served as a turning point. It made me realize how much I had been sacrificing my inner self for school achievements. With determination, I got back my old piano sheet music and changed my study schedule. Despite the heavy workload, I set aside a fixed period to enjoy music. Whether I was practicing challenging classical pieces or creating simple melodies, those musical moments became a necessary part of my daily life. Music slowly filled my dull busy life again.
Surprisingly, these music breaks became a source of energy and inspiration. The pleasant flow of notes calmed my nerves, improved my concentration and refreshed my mind. I began to study with new-found eagerness. Music, in fact, taught me that even in the most stressful times, I could maintain my love for music while still staying devoted to my study-related goals, achieving a balance between aim and interest. From then on, I faced exam pressure with a more positive attitude.
27. Why did the author stop enjoying music before?
A. Busy exam preparation. B. Less interest in music.
C. Family pressure for grades. D. Negative effects of addiction.
28. What did the girl’s performance inspire the author to do?

A. Better focus on studying. B. Lower grades in exams.
C. Strong desire to be a musician. D. Fewer hours for practice papers.
30. What’s the author’s change after the music festival?
A. Improving old piano sheet. B. Reducing study time for music.
C. Creating classical pieces. D. Balancing study and music.

Passage 9
(2025-2026学年高一下·四川雅安·期末)Students at a Beijing-based school recently took part in a special program that combined English learning with traditional Chinese music.
Organized by the Affiliated High School of Peking University, the program had three main goals. First, students learned about the history and playing techniques of the guqin, a traditional Chinese string instrument. They then studied specialized vocabulary and translated texts related to the guqin into English. Sharing and discussing what they had learned gave them the chance to use English in a practical way. In addition, students took part in a range of joint activities with their international peers.
One of the program’s highlights was the guqin piece Yang Guan San Die(《阳关三叠》). Guided by their music teacher, students explored how the composition conveys the poetic beauty of Chinese culture. With support from their English teacher, they translated the Tang Dynasty poem A Farewell Song(《送元二使安西》) by Wang Wei, from which Yang Guan San Die was adapted. This exercise encouraged them to appreciate the poem from a bilingual(双语的) perspective.
This creative approach not only deepened students’ understanding of China’s musical heritage but also strengthened their confidence and language skills to share their culture with the world.
The exchange activities further inspired the Chinese students to refine their public speaking and performance abilities. For example, they showcased their talents before visiting peers from Washington, US, delivering English presentations and performing the guqin.
“I still remember standing on stage before an international audience, playing the guqin and introducing it in English,” said 16-year-old He Linxuan. “Their curiosity — and the pride I felt while sharing my culture — left a lasting impression on me.”
These exchanges often spark long conversations and lasting friendships. “Such experiences truly reflect the broader mission of the course — to promote harmony and joyful connections across cultures,” said Sun Yamei, the course’s English teacher.
31. What can we learn about the program?
A. It involved Chinese high school students only.
B. It mainly focused on teaching students the guqin.
C. It asked students to translate various ancient poems.
D. It integrated practical English use with cultural learning.
32. What does paragraph 3 mainly show?
A. Why the program was set up.
B. Who the program was designed for.
C. How an activity of the program was practiced.
D. What cultural meaning the program carried.
33. Why does the author quote He Linxuan’s words?
A. To showcase Chinese students’ talents.
B. To suggest the international audience’s curiosity.
C. To tell the methods of sharing traditional Chinese culture.
D. To imply the program enables students to share the culture confidently.
34. Which is a suitable title for the passage?
A. Words Meet Sounds B. Poems Touch Hearts
C. Friends Bridge Cultures D. Skills Build Confidence
【答案】31. D 32. C 33. D 34. A

Passage 10
(2025-2026学年高一下·四川广元·期末)Every weekday afternoon, a classroom in East Palo Alto is full of middle schoolers taking part in a free after-school program called “Bridge to Success”. It was started by Stanford undergraduates five years ago, aiming to help local students who were falling behind at school but could not afford private tutoring.
Now the program serves more than 80 students from Grade 6 to 8. For many of them, it is the only chance to receive one-on-one help with their studies. Seventh-grader Maria Gonzalez used to struggle with math, but regular guidance from her tutor has greatly improved her skills and confidence. She even begins to dream of going to college, a goal she once considered out of reach.
The volunteer tutors not only explain homework and difficult knowledge but also listen to students’ worries and encourage them. Some of the tutors are good at math, and they often help students with their math problems. They never accept any money or gifts from the students. They are greatly touched by the kids’ strong determination to learn despite difficulties.
Supported only by volunteers and donations, the program provides a safe and warm environment for students to grow. Its founder believes education is about more than grades — it offers hope and makes students believe they can achieve more. For the children here, the program is more than a study place; it is a supportive community that helps them see their own value and future possibilities.

Passage 11
(2025-2026学年高一下·河南南阳·期末)“I know I’m part of the factors causing the climate crisis from our climate lessons. These are man-made issues,” explains Srun Sokly, a 12th grader in southern Cambodia. “When humans take too much from the natural environment, we create emissions and pollute the environment.”
Sokly has witnessed the damage firsthand. “I see floods and heat, and we are highly affected,” she recalls. In 2023, her school was hit hard by a record-breaking heatwave. With no fans and temperatures rocketing past 40℃, students had to skip classes. Her experience has reflected a larger reality. In 2024, over 3.38 million students in Cambodia faced climate-related school closures and class cancellations.
In class, Sokly learns how to reduce her carbon footprint by saving electricity, planting trees, and avoiding plastic. “I don’t feel that not doing anything is right,” says her classmate Sovichara. “Even if the issue is global, we still can do something.” Younger students are following suit. Keo Tevy, a sixth grader, helps care for her school’s garden. “I don’t use plastic bags, bottles or even cups here because they pollute our environment,” she says firmly.
What makes these students special is that they become teachers at home. Tevy never allows her mother to take new plastic bags at the market. “We have many used bags at home, so I try to push to reuse them,” she explains. She also brings her own water bottle to school. Similarly, Sokly encourages her parents to plant more trees. “Once in a while, we feel guilty when we use plastic,” she admits. “That is why we try not to become polluters.”
According to their principal, some parents have started listening. They learn from their children and begin to cut down on plastic waste and save electricity. “We need to take action,” Sokly concludes. “It starts with us setting an example. We learned it in class, so now we’ve gotta live it.”
39. How is the topic presented in the first paragraph?
A. By citing a student. B. By defining a concept.
C. By providing statistics. D. By making a comparison.
40. What does the author mainly present in paragraph 2?

40. 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Sokly has witnessed the damage firsthand. “I see floods and heat, and we are highly affected,” she recalls. In 2023, her school was hit hard by a record-breaking heatwave. With no fans and temperatures rocketing past 40℃, students had to skip classes. Her experience has reflected a larger reality.

42. 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是尾段中的“‘We need to take action,’ Sokly concludes. ‘It starts with us setting an example. We learned it in class, so now we’ve gotta live it.’(索克利总结道:‘我们需要付诸行动,从我们以身作则开始。我们在课堂上学到了环保知识,如今就要践行到底。’)”可知,全文核心是柬埔寨学生将课堂所学的气候环保知识,落实到日常生活行动中,题目“将气候课堂知识转化为实际行动”概括了文章主旨,适合作为标题。
Passage 12
(2025-2026学年高一下·四川自贡·期末)In Kenerson’s after-school classroom, Sandi takes out a piece of paper and fills up a whole line to spell words that allow her to practice cursive(草书) — her new favorite method of writing.
She is a proud member of the Holmes Middle School cursive club in Virginia. Cursive has been on the rise for years now. More than two dozen states now require cursive instruction in schools after the 2010 Common Core standards left out the skill.
Kenerson started the middle school club when students couldn’t read her writing on the board. They just stared at her blankly, she said. For an educator who firmly believes that quotes deserve to be written in cursive, Kenerson wanted to give students a chance to understand the magic of the cursive.
The club exploded in popularity this past winter, with the Washington Post crediting it for “keeping cursive alive”. Kenerson’s after-school club is a local example of a nationwide trend — cursive handwriting is back in many classrooms across the country. Teachers and legislators credit the return to nostalgia(怀旧) and some evidence of educational benefits. But surprisingly, the curves and swoops are contentious among experts, and some argue that cursive does not add any real value for students, especially in the age of AI.
“I have seen no evidence that cursive brings any particular cognitive(认知的) or learning benefit beyond that brought by hand printing,” wrote Mark.
Much of the cursive debate centers around time in the classroom. Should educators spend precious minutes teaching another way to write on paper when technology is so readily available?
Datchuk, a professor of special education at the University of Iowa, said the answer does not have to be one or the other. In his college classroom, he sees students increasingly using tablets to take notes.“What that means is that as a country, we likely need to help our students become multi-modal,” Datchuk said. They need to not only be able to handwrite using print, but also use cursive, type, and interact with technology, he said.
43. What drove Kenerson to set up the cursive club?
A. Other educators’ appeal.
B. Students’ interest in cursive.
C. Students’ ignorance of cursive.
D. The desire to stand out among workmates.
44. What is the current situation of cursive in the US?
A. It lacks official support. B. It is regaining popularity.
C. It remains unknown to the public. D. It is a required subject in all schools.
45. What does the underlined word "contentious" in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Easily forgotten. B. Rapidly changed.
C. Widely accepted. D. Deeply questioned.
46. What does Datchuk advise students to do?
A. Focus only on printed handwriting in class.
B. Give up handwriting and turn to technology.
C. Spend more time practicing cursive every day.
D. Master different ways of writing and learning.
【答案】43. C 44. B 45. D 46. D
【语篇导读】本文主要介绍美国草书教学重新兴起的校园现象,讲述教师Kenerson创办草书社团的缘由,同时介绍专家对于草书教学的价值争议以及相关教育学者给出的折中教育观点。
43. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Kenerson started the middle school club when students couldn’t read her writing on the board. They just stared at her blankly, she said.(Kenerson说,当学生们看不懂她写在黑板上的字时,她创办了这个中学俱乐部。他们只是茫然地盯着她。)”可知,促使Kenerson创办草书俱乐部的原因是学生们对草书一无所知。
44. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Kenerson’s after-school club is a local example of a nationwide trend — cursive handwriting is back in many classrooms across the country.(Kenerson的课后社团是全国趋势的一个缩影——草书书写正在全国众多课堂中再度回归。)”可知,美国草书如今正在重新流行、恢复热度。
45. 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Teachers and legislators credit the return to nostalgia (怀旧) and some evidence of educational benefits. But surprisingly, the curves and swoops are contentious among experts, and some argue that cursive does not add any real value for students, especially in the age of AI.(教师和立法者将草书的回归归因于怀旧情结以及其具备一定教育价值,但令人意外的是,草书在专家群体中是contentious的,部分专家认为在人工智能时代,草书无法为学生带来实际价值。)”可知,对于草书的价值,专家们看法不一、存在诸多质疑,contentious意为“备受争议、遭到深度质疑”,与Deeply questioned意思相近。
46. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“They need to not only be able to handwrite using print, but also use cursive, type, and interact with technology, he said.(他表示,学生不仅需要会印刷体手写,还需要掌握草书、打字以及运用各类科技工具。)”可知,Datchuk建议学生掌握多种书写与学习方式,实现多元学习模式。
Passage 13
(2025-2026学年高一下·福建泉州·期末)When you look at a famous painting like Van Gogh’s Starry Night, do you truly understand it? Or do you simply feel it looks beautiful? According to a recent scientific study, learning about art does more than just help you appreciate it — it actually makes you more creative and inspires new thinking.
In the study, researchers divided 150 subjects into three groups. The audiovisual(视听的) group watched a 22-minute video that showed artworks while providing verbal(口头的) explanations. The visual-only group watched a 9-minute video with only simple visual descriptions and no spoken explanation. The control group received no training at all.
After the training, all subjects were asked to rate a series of artworks — some they had seen during training and some completely new. The results were striking. Subjects who received the full audiovisual training gave remarkably higher ratings for understanding, creative inspiration and thought activation than those in the other groups. They felt they truly “got” the art, and the experience inspired new ideas.
Even more interestingly, the benefits of training went beyond the specific artworks studied — a situation known as the generalisation effect, which refers to the spread of learned knowledge to new but related items. When shown new paintings by the same artist, the audiovisual group still showed higher levels of understanding and inspiration. However, this effect did not carry over to artworks by different artists, suggesting that art knowledge is most powerful when applied within a familiar style.
“These findings highlight how art knowledge training can promote art understanding, creative inspiration and thought activation,” the researchers wrote. They argue that schools should take note: art education is not just about producing future artists. It is a tool for developing creative thinking that benefits all students, despite their different career paths. In an age when many schools are cutting arts spending, this study offers a powerful reminder. Learning about art is an investment(投资) in how young people think, create and understand the world.

【语篇导读】文章主要介绍了一项科学研究,表明艺术知识培训能有效提升创造力与思维活力。
47. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When you look at a famous painting like Van Gogh’s Starry Night, do you truly understand it? Or do you simply feel it looks beautiful? According to a recent scientific study, learning about art does more than just help you appreciate it — it actually makes you more creative and inspires new thinking. (当你欣赏像梵高《星月夜》这样的名画时,你是真的看懂了吗?还是仅仅觉得它好看?根据最近的一项科学研究,学习艺术不仅能帮助你欣赏它——还能真正激发你的创造力,启发新的思考。)”可知,提及《星月夜》是为了引出本文关于艺术学习与创造力关系的主题。
48. 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Subjects who received the full audiovisual training gave remarkably higher ratings for understanding, creative inspiration and thought activation than those in the other groups. (接受完整视听训练的受试者在理解力、创作灵感和思维激活方面的评分显著高于其他组。)”可知,视听训练让受试者给出了更高的创造力评分。
49. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“When shown new paintings by the same artist, the audiovisual group still showed higher levels of understanding and inspiration. However, this effect did not carry over to artworks by different artists, suggesting that art knowledge is most powerful when applied within a familiar style. (当给受试者展示同一位艺术家的全新画作时,接受视听训练的组别依然表现出了更高的理解力与灵感水平。然而,这种效应并未延伸至不同艺术家的作品,这表明艺术知识在熟悉的风格框架内应用时效果最为显著。)”可知,泛化效应仅适用于同一位艺术家的新画作。
50. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Learning about art is an investment (投资) in how young people think, create and understand the world. (学习艺术是对年轻人如何思考、创造和理解世界的一种投资。)”可知,作者强调艺术教育是因为它能改善学生的思维方式。
Passage 14
(2025-2026学年高一下·山东烟台·期末)As a young man, I dreamed of my ideal class where students with shining eyes were curious about everything before my first teaching year. I repeatedly pictured lively debates and enthusiastic voices filling the room.
However, when I took charge of a tenth-grade English class at a New York school, reality struck. These students had struggled with their studies at their previous schools and came here for a new chance. I followed traditional teaching methods, carried out unchanging lesson plans and stuck to strict classroom rules.
At the start of the term, all the students stared blankly at textbooks. They weren’t ready to share their ideas or join in class activities. After observing this discouraging situation for weeks, I realized that strict and rigid(死板的) teaching stopped students creating new ideas and killed their interest in study, which left me wondering how I could improve my teaching.
I decided to try something completely different. So I introduced the popular novel Harry Potter as our in-class reading text and divided students into different Hogwarts teams to perform many interesting story-based group tasks. Students took part with great energy, discussed actively, shared their special thoughts and cooperated well with teammates. For the first time, the classroom was full of inspiration instead of cold rules — they felt seen, heard and valued.
From then on, my classes ran smoothly. The students’ eyes lit up with passion. They grew far more willing to share ideas actively in class, and their academic performance improved noticeably.
My first year of teaching has taught me a precious lesson. Real education never means trapping students in fixed learning modes or asking them to think in the same way. Instead, it requires teachers to leave room for students’ independent thinking and awaken their inner desire for growth. Every student has creative ideas and great potential(潜能), which can be fully developed in a free and open learning environment.
51. What’s the author’s purpose of describing his ideal class?
A. To recall his own school days. B. To prove his teaching ability.
C. To compare with the actual class. D. To describe his favorite students.
52. What was the author’s initial class like?
A. Flexible and open. B. Inactive and boring.
C. Passive and disorderly. D. Creative and relaxing.
53. What did Harry Potter-themed activities bring to the students?
A. Improvement in physical fitness. B. Wide recognition from parents.
C. A sense of identity and belonging. D. The desire to create science fictions.
54. What does the author learn from his teaching experience?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Early birds catch the worm.
C. Applying knowledge to life is essential. D. Teaching is to inspire engagement.
【答案】51. C 52. B 53. C 54. D
【语篇导读】本文讲述了作者在第一年教学时遵从传统教学模式导致课堂死气沉沉,与之前的期待大相径庭,后来作者灵活调整教学方式,激活学生热情,这段经历也让作者学到了宝贵教训,明白了真正的教育是培养学生独立思考、唤醒学生内在成长动力。
51. 推理判断题。根据第一段“As a young man, I dreamed of my ideal class where students with shining eyes were curious about everything before my first teaching year. (在我第一年教书之前,作为年轻人,我梦想着有这样一个理想班级:学生们目光明亮,对一切都充满好奇。)”和第二段“However, when I took charge of a tenth-grade English class at a New York school, reality struck.(然而,当我在纽约的一所学校负责一个十年级的英语班时,现实给了我一击。)”可知,作者先描述自己想象中理想的课堂,再引出和理想完全不同的实际教学情况,目的是将理想课堂和实际课堂进行对比。
52. 推理判断题。根据第三段“At the start of the term, all the students stared blankly at textbooks. They weren’t ready to share their ideas or join in class activities. After observing this discouraging situation for weeks, I realized that strict and rigid(死板的) teaching stopped students creating new ideas and killed their interest in study (开学之初,所有学生都茫然地盯着课本。他们不愿意分享观点,也不愿意参加课堂活动。在观察了这个令人沮丧的情况数周后,我意识到严苛死板的教学阻碍了学生产生新想法,磨灭了他们的学习兴趣)”可推知,作者最初的课堂不活跃,十分无聊。
53. 推理判断题。根据第四段“So I introduced the popular novel Harry Potter as our in-class reading text and divided students into different Hogwarts teams to perform many interesting story-based group tasks. Students took part with great energy, discussed actively, shared their special thoughts and cooperated well with teammates. For the first time, the classroom was full of inspiration instead of cold rules — they felt seen, heard and valued. (所以我引入了流行小说《哈利波特》作为我们的课堂阅读文本,并将学生分成不同的霍格沃茨小组,执行许多有趣的基于故事的小组任务。学生们精力充沛地参加了活动,积极讨论,分享了他们的独特想法,并与队友合作良好。教室里第一次充满了灵感,而非冰冷的规则——他们感觉到自己被关注、被倾听、被重视。)”可知,《哈利·波特》主题活动让学生感觉到自己被关注、被倾听、被重视,获得了认同感,分组完成任务的形式也让学生产生了归属感。
54. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Real education never means trapping students in fixed learning modes or asking them to think in the same way. Instead, it requires teachers to leave room for students’ independent thinking and awaken their inner desire for growth. (真正的教育绝不是把学生困在固定的学习模式中,要求他们用一模一样的方式思考。相反,教育需要教师给学生留出独立思考的空间,唤醒他们内在的成长渴望。)”可推知,作者从这段经历中学到,教学的本质是激发学生主动参与学习,唤醒学生的内驱力。
Passage 15
(2025-2026学年高一下·广东韶关·期末)Across the U.S., teenagers fed up with inaction on climate change are making their voices heard by leading a movement to green their schools. Upgrades like solar panels, LED lighting, and rainwater collection systems, are designed to reduce carbon footprint, cut costs, and turn campuses into living laboratories for environmental education.
Ila Coleman, 17, from Grant High School in Portland, first participated after learning her school spent $32,000 annually on electricity. “That money could be used for textbooks, lab equipment, or teacher salaries,” she said. Coleman and her classmates formed the Green Grant Club and presented energy-saving proposals to their school board. Thankfully, their efforts paid off. The school’s energy bills dropped by 35%, and carbon emissions fell by 28%.
The club now leads monthly workshops on recycling and climate science, and even teams up with local environmental groups to plant trees on campus. Students used to ask, “What can one do about climate change?” Now they’re seeing positive results from their own actions.
The movement is becoming popular. In Austin, Texas, a group of middle schoolers successfully pushed for solar-powered charging stations in their cafeteria. “The passion and creativity of these young activists are remarkable,” said environmental scientist Dr. Lena Torres. “Schools are ideal places for climate action. When students see solar panels on their roof or learn how to track energy use, they’re more likely to adopt green habits at home.”
Despite some challenges like funding and concerns about upfront costs, students have found creative solutions in the community: organizing fundraising events and partnering with local businesses for donations. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed, with some states now funding to support green changes.
For the teen activists, the work is personal. “We’re the ones who will inherit this planet,” said Rivera. “We can’t wait for adults to fix it. We have to start now! All it takes is courage to speak up and work together.” For these young climate leaders, the classroom isn’t just a place to learn — it’s a perfect place to lead change.
55. Why was the Green Grant Club set up?
A. To improve the rainwater collection systems.
B. To meet the expectations of the school board.
C. To update lab devices for scientific experiments.
D. To promote an environmentally friendly campus.
56. What does the author illustrate by mentioning the students in Austin?
A. The role of the school. B. The future path.
C. The united efforts nationwide. D. The popularity of the movement.
57. In what way did the community support the teens’ work?
A. Offering government funding. B. Advertising their changes.
C. Making charitable contributions. D. Holding business workshops.
58. How did Rivera think of their movement?
A. It keeps the planet as it is. B. It shows no pains, no gains.
C. It takes courage and teamwork. D. It contributes to classroom learning.
【答案】55. D 56. D 57. C 58. C

Passage 3
(2025-2026学年高一下·湖南衡阳·期末)Developing healthy study habits is key to academic success, especially in high school. With so many distractions and responsibilities, it’s easy to fall into unproductive routines. 11 These habits will not only boost your grades but also reduce stress and build confidence in your learning abilities.
Create a consistent study space.
12 It doesn’t have to be a fancy desk or a quiet library, but it should be a place where your brain associates with focus. Keep it organized, free from unnecessary distractions like phones or loud music, and use it only for studying. Over time, this space will signal to your brain that it’s time to work, making it easier to get into the zone.
Break tasks into small, manageable steps.
Large assignments or exam reviews can feel overwhelming at first. 13 Instead of thinking “I need to study for the math final,” break it down into smaller tasks: “Review Chapter 3 formulas” or “Solve 10 practice problems on quadratic equations.” Checking off these small wins will keep you motivated and prevent procrastination.
Use active learning techniques instead of passive reading.
Simply rereading notes or textbooks is often ineffective for long-term memory. 14 Try summarizing key ideas in your own words, teaching concepts to a friend (or even an imaginary audience), or creating flashcards for tricky terms. These methods force your brain to engage with the material, making it more likely to stick.
Take regular breaks and prioritize rest.
Many students believe that studying for hours without stopping is the best way to learn. However, our brains need time to rest and process information. 15 Short breaks — like walking around, drinking water, or stretching — can refresh your focus. Additionally, getting enough sleep each night is just as important as studying; a tired brain struggles to retain new information.
A. Instead of tackling everything at once, divide big goals into tiny, specific tasks.
B. The good news is that you can build these habits with a few simple, intentional changes.
C. A dedicated study space helps train your brain to switch into “learning mode” quickly.
D. To make studying more effective, swap passive habits for active ones.
E. You don’t need a perfect setup to start building a productive study routine.
F. Overworking yourself can lead to burnout, which harms both your grades and your health.
G. Active learning takes more effort at first, but it pays off in better understanding and recall.
【答案】11. B 12. C 13. A 14. D 15. F

Passage 4
(2025-2026学年高一下·山西吕梁·期末)
A Real Job at School
In Bowling Green, Kentucky, high school students are not just learning about computers — they’re fixing them for real. The school district has a student-run team that repairs broken Chromebooks.
Here’s how it works. When a teacher finds a broken Chromebook, he or she submits an online repair ticket. Students on the team then diagnose the problem, replace broken parts, and test the device. 16 It usually takes just a few days.
The benefits for the school are clear. First, it saves money. The district avoids paying expensive repair fees to outside companies. 17 Second, it’s much faster. Sending devices out for repair could take weeks, but the student team gets them back in action quickly. It also frees up the district’s IT staff, letting them focus on bigger projects.
18 They earn class credit for their work. Even better, they can get paid $10 an hour. “We take a step back and let the kids do what they do,” said Megan Marcum, the district’s digital learning coach. 19 They learn to communicate clearly with teachers about repair progress, manage their time to meet deadlines, and solve problems independently.
The program has been running smoothly for 10 years. Students train the next generation of the team, creating a reliable talent pipeline for the district’s IT department. Many former team members have even gone on to pursue tech-related careers after graduation. 20
A. Only parts and labor are paid for.
B. Students gain the most from the program.
C. It only costs extra money to buy a new device.
D. When done, they tell the teacher the device is ready.
E. It’s truly a win-win project for both school and students.
F. Apart from grades and pay, students gain more practical skills.
G. In addition to praise and money, students take free courses.

Passage 5
(2025-2026学年高一下·河北张家口·期末)The introduction of AI-driven virtual classrooms is a great new development in modern education. Virtual learning environments and AI are working together to change education, influencing both students and teachers.
21 AI checks individual performance and learning habits to create suitable study plans. This method increases student interest and fills knowledge gaps. Most importantly, it ensures each student learns at their own pace.
Another important function is the Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). AI acts as a helpful digital teacher through ITS. It checks student progress, finds weak points, and offers personal guidance. It can also answer common questions anytime with quick replies. 22
Game-based learning is also changing the classroom experience. 23 AI improves this by adding game parts like scores, small prizes, and ranking lists. It fits the game experience to different learning styles, helping students remember what they have learned and enjoy studying more.
AI also makes communication easier in virtual classrooms. 24 AI uses smart language tools to write down lessons and offer real-time subtitles on the screen. This gets rid of communication difficulties and creates a warmer learning environment. Students can ask questions easily and feel less lonely online.
Finally, data prediction helps teachers know about students’ future learning conditions. AI looks at attendance, grades, and daily actions to find students in trouble early. 25 As a result, more students can stay in school and get a fair chance at education.
A. One key feature is personalized learning.
B. Good communication is key in online learning.

(2026全国一卷B)Not long ago, my fifth-grade son Kevin asked me about the meaning of a word in a novel. “Look it up,” I responded. “But my screen time is off,” he said. I looked pointedly at the bookshelf that held at least three dictionaries, and Kevin sighed(叹气) dramatically. “Can’t you just use your phone?” he asked. Suddenly it occurred to me that he did not even know how to use a dictionary.
I took down one of the dictionaries, and we read it together for a few minutes before I handed it to him. It took him a few tries to find the word in question. While going through the pages, he kept saying, wide-eyed: “How can there be this many words?” After a while, he looked at me and asked, “Do you know all these words, Mom?” I smiled. “I definitely do not know all these words,” I said. “But that’s why this is one of my favorite books.”
I had my first dictionary as a gift for my 13th birthday. I decided that I wanted to learn as many words as I could and started marking every entry I looked up with a pencil to measure my progress. I continued to make these pencil marks for years, and when I went off to college, I packed that dictionary in my suitcase.
Kevin wanted to see the dictionary. I felt a small pain in my chest. The dictionary was stolen at the end of my freshman year of college. “That’s so sad,” he said, “but you still know all those words, even without the book.” I realized that this was true. I still made it through the next three years of college, even without the book. And it wasn’t, ultimately, the dictionary that got me there — not really.
Now I understand that although my son may be learning differently, he is still learning. It’s not about the words themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to know them, the curiosity and the appetite.
4. What does Kevin usually do to get the meaning of a word?
A. Use electronic devices. B. Consult a paper dictionary.
C. Guess from the context. D. Turn to his English teacher.
5. How did Kevin feel while looking up the word in the dictionary?
A. Annoyed. B. Disappointed. C. Encouraged. D. Astonished.
6. What can we learn about the author’s first dictionary?
A. It helped her through college. B. It was given to Kevin as a gift.
C. It bore witness to her efforts. D. It was a valuable limited edition.
7. What has the author come to realize about learning?
A. It is never too late to start. B. Motivation is what really matters.
C. Children need role models. D. Dictionaries are still a useful tool.

Passage 3
(2025-2026学年高一下·广东·期末)Mr. Johnson, a high school history teacher, had long noticed a worrying trend in his classroom. While his students could carefully remember dates, names and events for exams, they always failed to understand the human side of history. To them, the past seemed a fixed set of facts, without emotion, struggle or personal meaning. Wanting to fix this gap, Mr. Johnson decided to completely change his teaching way in the middle of the semester, trading a traditional research report for a story-writing task.
He asked his students to pick a historical figure and write a story from his or her perspective. The task was confusing at first, but soon the classroom was full of active questions and discussion. One student learned deeply about the life of a young soldier in World War I, writing a sad and moving story of the mud, fear and fragile friendship in the trench lines. Another told the story of a female scholar from the Renaissance, making up a tale of her love for learning being held back by social rules. The thorough research and creative care for how the figure felt that the students showed was amazing.
Mr. Johnson was surprised by the big change in his students. The essays he got were not just correct; they were full of real feelings and a clear understanding of people’s thoughts. The students had stopped just repeating facts and truly connected with history, seeing historical figures as people with many different sides instead of just names from a long time ago. In later class talks, their questions changed from “What happened?” to “Why did they feel that way?” and “What would I have done?”. This story-writing method didn’t just help them remember facts better; it built up their ability to think deeply and their real care for how others felt.
Inspired by this success, Mr. Johnson has now made story-telling a regular part of his lessons. He believes that when students learn to experience history through story-telling, they do more than just remember it — they start to understand its long-lasting effects on their own lives and what it means to be human in general. In his classroom, history is no longer just a subject about the past; it has become a talk with the past.
7. What was Mr. Johnson’s initial problem with his students?
A. They preferred science over history.
B. They were not interested in history at all.
C. They could not memorize historical facts.
D. They lacked emotional connection to history.
8. How did Mr. Johnson change his teaching method?
A. He gave students more fact-based research papers.
B. He guided students to write in past figures’ voice.
C. He showed more historical documentaries with facts.
D. He invited historians to give lectures in his classroom.
9. What did the students’ essays demonstrate after the new assignment?
A. They contained more dates and facts than before.
B. They showed better memorization of historical events.
C. They were shorter but more accurate than previous work.
D. They reflected emotional understanding and personal insight.
10. What is the main message of the text?
A. History should value facts over emotions.
B. History should be taught through story writing.
C. History is more than facts — it’s human stories.
D. Students should ask questions when learning history.
Passage 4
(2025-2026学年高一下·广东汕头·期末)Nowadays, short videos have become a common part of teenage life. Most students watch short videos for fun in their free time. However, a group of Grade One students turned this popular tool into a powerful way to spread low-carbon ideas in 2026.
Last term, Li Man and her classmates signed up for a school environmental club. Their adviser suggested they create short videos about daily green acts instead of holding boring speeches. At first, some teenagers doubted this idea. They thought short videos were only for entertainment and could not make a real difference to environmental protection.
To prove their idea, the team divided work among members. Some students recorded daily low-carbon moves: riding bikes to school, sorting rubbish, reusing paper notebooks and taking cloth bags shopping. Others searched for simple environmental data and explained it in easy words on camera. Every week they posted one video on the school’s official account. They also encouraged other teens to share their own green clips with the tag #Teen Low Carbon Life.
Three months later, the result was beyond their expectation. Over 800 students in the school joined their video activity. Many parents said their kids changed living habits after watching the videos. Some local community centers even invited the student group to share their video-making experience.
Li Man said the biggest gain from this teenage project was not praise or prizes. “We used to think one student’s small action meant nothing. But when hundreds of teenagers stand together and voice the same idea, our carbon footprint will become smaller little by little.” She added that they would keep making short videos and hope more young people could take environmental responsibility.
Teachers believe this activity sets a good example for teenagers. It shows teens can use online tools wisely and turn their spare time into meaningful teenage experiences.
11. What does the underlined word “doubted” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. accepted B. questioned C. ignored D. admired
12. What can we infer about the student group’s videos?
A. They only show school club meetings.
B. They use hard professional environmental reports.
C. They attract students and even get attention from communities.
D. They were posted on many famous video platforms nationwide.
13. What is Li Man’s attitude towards their video project?
A. Disappointed B. Uncertain C. Supportive and proud D. Worried
14. What is the main idea of the text?
A. How teenagers make interesting short videos for fun.
B. A group of freshmen use short videos to carry out low-carbon activities.
C. Different kinds of after-school clubs in high school.
D. The bad influence of short videos on teenagers’ study.
Passage 5
(2025-2026学年高一下·山东潍坊·阶段检测)Every Friday afternoon, a corner of our school art room became a repair studio. Students brought things that were too useful to throw away but too damaged to use easily, a shirt with a 10m pocket, a pencil box without a handle, an old cloth bag from a grandparent. A useful object can carry beauty without looking new. The aim was not to make everything perfect. It was to let care become noticeable, even when the repair mark stayed on the surface.
In the first lesson, our art teacher began with a small blue patch(补丁) from her hometown. Its pattern was simple, but each line had been made by hand. It was not a museum lesson, but the objects made history feel close. Students who had thought “traditional craft(手艺) ” meant something far from daily life began to ask how people learned these skills and why families kept them.
The most successful repairs began with careful looking. Before touching needles or glue, groups described the material, the weak point and the story behind the object. One group found that a schoolbag kept tearing because heavy books pulled on one narrow strap(背带) . Their new patch was not placed over the hole only; it also spread the weight across a wider area.
The project also changed how students talked about jobs. A designer needed imagination, but also respect for the user. An engineer had to think about strength and shape. A craftsperson made decisions with both hands and eyes. These ideas helped students see that good work is rarely just fast work.
At the exhibition, no object looked exactly new. Bright thread crossed dark cloth, and a wooden box showed a smooth line where it had been joined. Nobody asked which piece had cost the most. Students were surprised to find that patience had become a shared skill. They had not only repaired objects; they had practised a way of seeing the world. What is old or broken may still be worth time, thought and a second chance.
15. What is the main purpose of setting up the repair studio?
A. To collect worn things. B. To show the warmth of care.
C. To teach students repair skills. D. To make broken items look new.
16. What change did the first lesson bring about in the students?
A. They grew interested in crafts. B. They learned more traditional crafts.
C. They considered patches artistic. D. They better understood the museum’s history.
17. Why is the schoolbag repair mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. To describe the basic repair steps. B. To stress the advantage of teamwork.
C. To prove the value of careful observation. D. To introduce common damage to schoolbags.
18. What might be the best title of this text?
A. Tiny Patches, Big Dreams B. Lost Crafts, New Skills Gained
C. Quick Fixes, Lasting Values D. Old Repairs, New Views of Life
Passage 6
(2025-2026学年高一下·辽宁·期末)In classrooms and school board meetings across the U.S., a new generation of climate activists is making its voice heard. Teenagers, fed up with inaction on climate change, are leading a movement to retrofit(翻新) schools with eco-friendly upgrades.
Ila Coleman, 17, a senior at Grant High School in Portland, first got involved after learning her school spent $32,000 annually on electricity. “We knew we had to act.” Coleman and her classmates founded the “Green Grant(拨款)” club, researched energy-saving options, and presented a detailed proposal to the Portland Public Schools board. Their efforts paid off: the district approved $1.2 million in funding for retrofitting the school, which includes installing solar panels and upgrading lighting systems. Since last year, the school’s energy bills have dropped by 35%, and carbon emissions have fallen by 28%.
“We’re not just saving money — we’re teaching the school community about sustainability,” Coleman said. The club now leads monthly workshops on recycling, composting, and climate science, and has partnered with local environmental groups to plant native trees on campus. “Students used to ask, ‘What can one person do about climate change?’ Now they’re seeing tangible results from their own actions.”
“The passion and creativity of these young activists is remarkable,” said Dr. Lena Torres, an environmental scientist who works with student groups. “When students see solar panels on their roof or learn how to track energy use, they’re more likely to adopt sustainable habits at home.” The movement has also gained support from educators. Many teachers have integrated climate science and sustainability into their lesson plans. “My students are more engaged when they’re learning about something that’s happening right outside their classroom,” said a biology teacher.
19. What do we know about Ila Coleman?
A. She leaves sustainability behind.
B. She is an initiator of Green Grant.
C. She helped secure 1.2 million club fund.
D. She gathered proposals to the school board.
20. What is the main purpose of the Green Grant Club?
A. To advocate eco-awareness. B. To hold monthly workshops.
C. To partner with local groups. D. To reduce school running cost.
21. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Students adopt the habits to track energy use.
B. Teen activists are less keen about environment.
C. Teachers find a new way to engage students in class.
D. Scientists and educators think little of the movement.
22. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Sustainability Always Goes First B. Solar Energy Bears Bright Prospects
C. Teens Push for School Green Retrofits D. Teens Join Hands for Sufficient Energy
Passage 7
(2025-2026学年高一下·河北衡水·阶段检测)Mr. Jesse Barrett was my high school English teacher, who left a deep lifelong influence on me. I was a quiet shy teenager back then, too afraid to speak in public and never dared to share my opinions in class discussions. I hid myself in the corner of the classroom every English lesson.
One day, Mr. Barrett assigned a speech task about favorite writers. I prepared carefully at home but still planned to give up presenting on the stage. When it was my turn, I froze and could not say a single word. Just as I was ready to run back to my seat in embarrassment, Mr. Barrett smiled gently and told the whole class to wait patiently. He walked to my side and whispered: “Your draft is wonderful. Take your time. I believe you can do it.” His warm encouragement calmed my nerves gradually. I finished my speech slowly, and the whole class cheered for me warmly afterward. After class, Mr. Barrett talked with me patiently. He told me that every voice deserves to be heard, and true confidence comes from bravely showing ourselves instead of staying hidden.
During the following two years, he kept offering me chances to join class speeches and English debates. Step by step, I became outgoing and brave enough to express my ideas freely. Years later, I chose journalism as my major in college, exactly because of the inspiration from Mr. Barrett. A good teacher does not only teach knowledge, but also lights up students’ inner world.

Passage 8
(2025-2026学年高一下·福建福州·期末)I was on the edge of burnout, after months of hard preparation for the college entrance exams. Stress and tiredness piled up day after day. Every day was filled with textbooks and endless practice papers, and I had gradually moved away from music, the very thing that once brought me the greatest joy.
One weekend, when I walked aimlessly in the city street to release pressure, I happened to come across a street music festival. Among the performers was a young girl around my age, who had a voice that seemed to cut through my tiredness and I couldn’t help tapping my feet, with a long-lost sense of excitement welling up inside. All my tired thoughts were swept away by her beautiful singing.
That performance served as a turning point. It made me realize how much I had been sacrificing my inner self for school achievements. With determination, I got back my old piano sheet music and changed my study schedule. Despite the heavy workload, I set aside a fixed period to enjoy music. Whether I was practicing challenging classical pieces or creating simple melodies, those musical moments became a necessary part of my daily life. Music slowly filled my dull busy life again.
Surprisingly, these music breaks became a source of energy and inspiration. The pleasant flow of notes calmed my nerves, improved my concentration and refreshed my mind. I began to study with new-found eagerness.

Passage 9
(2025-2026学年高一下·四川雅安·期末)Students at a Beijing-based school recently took part in a special program that combined English learning with traditional Chinese music.
Organized by the Affiliated High School of Peking University, the program had three main goals. First, students learned about the history and playing techniques of the guqin, a traditional Chinese string instrument. They then studied specialized vocabulary and translated texts related to the guqin into English. Sharing and discussing what they had learned gave them the chance to use English in a practical way. In addition, students took part in a range of joint activities with their international peers.
One of the program’s highlights was the guqin piece Yang Guan San Die(《阳关三叠》). Guided by their music teacher, students explored how the composition conveys the poetic beauty of Chinese culture. With support from their English teacher, they translated the Tang Dynasty poem A Farewell Song(《送元二使安西》) by Wang Wei, from which Yang Guan San Die was adapted. This exercise encouraged them to appreciate the poem from a bilingual(双语的) perspective.
This creative approach not only deepened students’ understanding of China’s musical heritage but also strengthened their confidence and language skills to share their culture with the world.
The exchange activities further inspired the Chinese students to refine their public speaking and performance abilities. For example, they showcased their talents before visiting peers from Washington, US, delivering English presentations and performing the guqin.
“I still remember standing on stage before an international audience, playing the guqin and introducing it in English,” said 16-year-old He Linxuan. “Their curiosity — and the pride I felt while sharing my culture — left a lasting impression on me.”
These exchanges often spark long conversations and lasting friendships. “Such experiences truly reflect the broader mission of the course — to promote harmony and joyful connections across cultures,” said Sun Yamei, the course’s English teacher.

C. Friends Bridge Cultures D. Skills Build Confidence
Passage 10
(2025-2026学年高一下·四川广元·期末)Every weekday afternoon, a classroom in East Palo Alto is full of middle schoolers taking part in a free after-school program called “Bridge to Success”. It was started by Stanford undergraduates five years ago, aiming to help local students who were falling behind at school but could not afford private tutoring.
Now the program serves more than 80 students from Grade 6 to 8. For many of them, it is the only chance to receive one-on-one help with their studies. Seventh-grader Maria Gonzalez used to struggle with math, but regular guidance from her tutor has greatly improved her skills and confidence. She even begins to dream of going to college, a goal she once considered out of reach.
The volunteer tutors not only explain homework and difficult knowledge but also listen to students’ worries and encourage them. Some of the tutors are good at math, and they often help students with their math problems. They never accept any money or gifts from the students. They are greatly touched by the kids’ strong determination to learn despite difficulties.
Supported only by volunteers and donations, the program provides a safe and warm environment for students to grow. Its founder believes education is about more than grades — it offers hope and makes students believe they can achieve more. For the children here, the program is more than a study place; it is a supportive community that helps them see their own value and future possibilities.
35. Why was “Bridge to Success” launched?
A. To offer extra classes for students.
B. To set up a new local middle school.
C. To train college students to be teachers.
D. To help poor students with their studies.
36. What change has the program brought to Maria Gonzalez?
A. She works as a volunteer tutor now.
B. She holds greater belief in her future.
C. She has given up her dream of college.
D. She has made steady progress in all subjects.
37. What do the tutors do in the program?

D. It depends on government support.
Passage 11
(2025-2026学年高一下·河南南阳·期末)“I know I’m part of the factors causing the climate crisis from our climate lessons. These are man-made issues,” explains Srun Sokly, a 12th grader in southern Cambodia. “When humans take too much from the natural environment, we create emissions and pollute the environment.”
Sokly has witnessed the damage firsthand. “I see floods and heat, and we are highly affected,” she recalls. In 2023, her school was hit hard by a record-breaking heatwave. With no fans and temperatures rocketing past 40℃, students had to skip classes. Her experience has reflected a larger reality. In 2024, over 3.38 million students in Cambodia faced climate-related school closures and class cancellations.
In class, Sokly learns how to reduce her carbon footprint by saving electricity, planting trees, and avoiding plastic. “I don’t feel that not doing anything is right,” says her classmate Sovichara. “Even if the issue is global, we still can do something.” Younger students are following suit. Keo Tevy, a sixth grader, helps care for her school’s garden. “I don’t use plastic bags, bottles or even cups here because they pollute our environment,” she says firmly.
What makes these students special is that they become teachers at home. Tevy never allows her mother to take new plastic bags at the market. “We have many used bags at home, so I try to push to reuse them,” she explains. She also brings her own water bottle to school. Similarly, Sokly encourages her parents to plant more trees. “Once in a while, we feel guilty when we use plastic,” she admits. “That is why we try not to become polluters.”
According to their principal, some parents have started listening. They learn from their children and begin to cut down on plastic waste and save electricity. “We need to take action,” Sokly concludes. “It starts with us setting an example. We learned it in class, so now we’ve gotta live it.”
39. How is the topic presented in the first paragraph?

C. How Parents Learn to Reduce Plastic Use D. How to Fight with Climate Crisis Globally
Passage 12
(2025-2026学年高一下·四川自贡·期末)In Kenerson’s after-school classroom, Sandi takes out a piece of paper and fills up a whole line to spell words that allow her to practice cursive(草书) — her new favorite method of writing.
She is a proud member of the Holmes Middle School cursive club in Virginia. Cursive has been on the rise for years now. More than two dozen states now require cursive instruction in schools after the 2010 Common Core standards left out the skill.
Kenerson started the middle school club when students couldn’t read her writing on the board. They just stared at her blankly, she said. For an educator who firmly believes that quotes deserve to be written in cursive, Kenerson wanted to give students a chance to understand the magic of the cursive.
The club exploded in popularity this past winter, with the Washington Post crediting it for “keeping cursive alive”. Kenerson’s after-school club is a local example of a nationwide trend — cursive handwriting is back in many classrooms across the country. Teachers and legislators credit the return to nostalgia(怀旧) and some evidence of educational benefits. But surprisingly, the curves and swoops are contentious among experts, and some argue that cursive does not add any real value for students, especially in the age of AI.
“I have seen no evidence that cursive brings any particular cognitive(认知的) or learning benefit beyond that brought by hand printing,” wrote Mark.
Much of the cursive debate centers around time in the classroom. Should educators spend precious minutes teaching another way to write on paper when technology is so readily available?
Datchuk, a professor of special education at the University of Iowa, said the answer does not have to be one or the other. In his college classroom, he sees students increasingly using tablets to take notes.“What that means is that as a country, we likely need to help our students become multi-modal,” Datchuk said. They need to not only be able to handwrite using print, but also use cursive, type, and interact with technology, he said.
43. What drove Kenerson to set up the cursive club?
A. Other educators’ appeal.
B. Students’ interest in cursive.
C. Students’ ignorance of cursive.
D. The desire to stand out among workmates.
44. What is the current situation of cursive in the US?
A. It lacks official support. B. It is regaining popularity.
C. It remains unknown to the public. D. It is a required subject in all schools.
45. What does the underlined word "contentious" in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Easily forgotten. B. Rapidly changed.
C. Widely accepted. D. Deeply questioned.
46. What does Datchuk advise students to do?
A. Focus only on printed handwriting in class.
B. Give up handwriting and turn to technology.
C. Spend more time practicing cursive every day.
D. Master different ways of writing and learning.
Passage 13
(2025-2026学年高一下·福建泉州·期末)When you look at a famous painting like Van Gogh’s Starry Night, do you truly understand it? Or do you simply feel it looks beautiful? According to a recent scientific study, learning about art does more than just help you appreciate it — it actually makes you more creative and inspires new thinking.
In the study, researchers divided 150 subjects into three groups. The audiovisual(视听的) group watched a 22-minute video that showed artworks while providing verbal(口头的) explanations. The visual-only group watched a 9-minute video with only simple visual descriptions and no spoken explanation. The control group received no training at all.
After the training, all subjects were asked to rate a series of artworks — some they had seen during training and some completely new. The results were striking. Subjects who received the full audiovisual training gave remarkably higher ratings for understanding, creative inspiration and thought activation than those in the other groups. They felt they truly “got” the art, and the experience inspired new ideas.
Even more interestingly, the benefits of training went beyond the specific artworks studied — a situation known as the generalisation effect, which refers to the spread of learned knowledge to new but related items. When shown new paintings by the same artist, the audiovisual group still showed higher levels of understanding and inspiration. However, this effect did not carry over to artworks by different artists, suggesting that art knowledge is most powerful when applied within a familiar style.
“These findings highlight how art knowledge training can promote art understanding, creative inspiration and thought activation,” the researchers wrote. They argue that schools should take note: art education is not just about producing future artists. It is a tool for developing creative thinking that benefits all students, despite their different career paths. In an age when many schools are cutting arts spending, this study offers a powerful reminder. Learning about art is an investment(投资) in how young people think, create and understand the world.
47. Why was Van Gogh’s Starry Night mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To question a common belief.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To compare two ways of appreciating art.
D. To highlight the beauty of masterpieces.
48. What did the audiovisual training bring to subjects?
A. Greater interest in art history. B. Stronger preference for familiar artworks.
C. Higher ratings on creativity. D. Better ability to judge painting techniques.
49. What does the study say about the generalisation effect?
A. It applies to all artworks equally.
B. It requires long-term art training.
C. It is limited to the specific artworks.
D. It works for new paintings by the same artist.
50. Why does the author stress art education?
A. It improves students’ way of thinking. B. It trains more professional artists.
C. It enriches students’ culture knowledge. D. It helps students get fixed jobs.
Passage 14
(2025-2026学年高一下·山东烟台·期末)As a young man, I dreamed of my ideal class where students with shining eyes were curious about everything before my first teaching year. I repeatedly pictured lively debates and enthusiastic voices filling the room.
However, when I took charge of a tenth-grade English class at a New York school, reality struck. These students had struggled with their studies at their previous schools and came here for a new chance. I followed traditional teaching methods, carried out unchanging lesson plans and stuck to strict classroom rules.
At the start of the term, all the students stared blankly at textbooks. They weren’t ready to share their ideas or join in class activities. After observing this discouraging situation for weeks, I realized that strict and rigid(死板的) teaching stopped students creating new ideas and killed their interest in study, which left me wondering how I could improve my teaching.
I decided to try something completely different. So I introduced the popular novel Harry Potter as our in-class reading text and divided students into different Hogwarts teams to perform many interesting story-based group tasks. Students took part with great energy, discussed actively, shared their special thoughts and cooperated well with teammates. For the first time, the classroom was full of inspiration instead of cold rules — they felt seen, heard and valued.
From then on, my classes ran smoothly. The students’ eyes lit up with passion. They grew far more willing to share ideas actively in class, and their academic performance improved noticeably.
My first year of teaching has taught me a precious lesson. Real education never means trapping students in fixed learning modes or asking them to think in the same way. Instead, it requires teachers to leave room for students’ independent thinking and awaken their inner desire for growth. Every student has creative ideas and great potential(潜能), which can be fully developed in a free and open learning environment.
51. What’s the author’s purpose of describing his ideal class?
A. To recall his own school days. B. To prove his teaching ability.
C. To compare with the actual class. D. To describe his favorite students.
52. What was the author’s initial class like?
A. Flexible and open. B. Inactive and boring.
C. Passive and disorderly. D. Creative and relaxing.
53. What did Harry Potter-themed activities bring to the students?
A. Improvement in physical fitness. B. Wide recognition from parents.
C. A sense of identity and belonging. D. The desire to create science fictions.
54. What does the author learn from his teaching experience?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Early birds catch the worm.
C. Applying knowledge to life is essential. D. Teaching is to inspire engagement.
Passage 15
(2025-2026学年高一下·广东韶关·期末)Across the U.S., teenagers fed up with inaction on climate change are making their voices heard by leading a movement to green their schools. Upgrades like solar panels, LED lighting, and rainwater collection systems, are designed to reduce carbon footprint, cut costs, and turn campuses into living laboratories for environmental education.
Ila Coleman, 17, from Grant High School in Portland, first participated after learning her school spent $32,000 annually on electricity. “That money could be used for textbooks, lab equipment, or teacher salaries,” she said. Coleman and her classmates formed the Green Grant Club and presented energy-saving proposals to their school board. Thankfully, their efforts paid off. The school’s energy bills dropped by 35%, and carbon emissions fell by 28%.
The club now leads monthly workshops on recycling and climate science, and even teams up with local environmental groups to plant trees on campus. Students used to ask, “What can one do about climate change?” Now they’re seeing positive results from their own actions.
The movement is becoming popular. In Austin, Texas, a group of middle schoolers successfully pushed for solar-powered charging stations in their cafeteria. “The passion and creativity of these young activists are remarkable,” said environmental scientist Dr. Lena Torres. “Schools are ideal places for climate action. When students see solar panels on their roof or learn how to track energy use, they’re more likely to adopt green habits at home.”
Despite some challenges like funding and concerns about upfront costs, students have found creative solutions in the community: organizing fundraising events and partnering with local businesses for donations. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed, with some states now funding to support green changes.
For the teen activists, the work is personal. “We’re the ones who will inherit this planet,” said Rivera. “We can’t wait for adults to fix it. We have to start now! All it takes is courage to speak up and work together.” For these young climate leaders, the classroom isn’t just a place to learn — it’s a perfect place to lead change.
55. Why was the Green Grant Club set up?
A. To improve the rainwater collection systems.
B. To meet the expectations of the school board.
C. To update lab devices for scientific experiments.
D. To promote an environmentally friendly campus.
56. What does the author illustrate by mentioning the students in Austin?
A. The role of the school. B. The future path.
C. The united efforts nationwide. D. The popularity of the movement.
57. In what way did the community support the teens’ work?
A. Offering government funding. B. Advertising their changes.
C. Making charitable contributions. D. Holding business workshops.
58. How did Rivera think of their movement?
A. It keeps the planet as it is. B. It shows no pains, no gains.
C. It takes courage and teamwork. D. It contributes to classroom learning.
阅读理解七选五
Passage 1
(2025-2026学年高一上·湖北荆州·开学考试)Today many young people are interested in starting a book club. They think being in a book club can improve reading skills. At the same time, sharing ideas about books with others is fun. In fact, it’s not difficult to start a book club. All you need is to love reading. 1
When you set up your book club, the first thing you need to do is getting members for your club. 2 A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club.
Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet. It’s better to meet monthly. 3 Remind each member of the date by sending out emails a week before the meeting. And set the length of the meeting time. An hour is a good start. Two hours is usually perfect.
4 Libraries, parks and restaurants all make good meeting places. For many clubs, homes are the best place as you don’t have to dress up, and noisy public places can make it hard to communicate with each other.
Don’t forget the most important thing is the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Stories? History books? 5 You can take turns to recommend books. Let everyone vote to decide which book to read. Anyway, make sure to keep it interesting.
After all these have been decided, your book club is ready. Enjoy your reading.
A. You need a good place to meet then.
B. Here’s some advice to start a book club.
C. Now, it’s time to hold the first meeting.
D. You should decide what books to read.
E. Your club can choose books in different ways.
F. Pick a fixed date so that members can easily plan for it.
G. You can invite your classmates, friends or relatives to join it.
Passage 2
(2025-2026学年高一上·江西景德镇·期末)Is it ever too late to learn a new skill? The answer is: absolutely not! 68 . It can change your life in many ways — from boosting your career to helping you discover a new interest. All you need is focus and some helpful learning strategies.
Teach yourself using many sources. The best learning materials vary based on the skill you want to develop. 7 There are many learning materials that are free to use, including textbooks, online videos, and even blog posts. Do an online search for sources and check your local library for helpful books.
Learn through practical experience. The most effective way to learn something is just to do it! Books and tutorials are excellent primers(入门指南), but try to start performing the new skill as soon as possible. Learn through trial(试验) and error rather than spending all your time on theories and memorization. 8
Teach someone else. Teaching a skill enables you to understand it better. Why? By teaching someone else, you first have to think about the skill or subject and break it down into easily explainable pieces. 9 You can also make an informative presentation about the subject or start a blog about your learning process.
10 A plan will help you stay on track with your new hobby. Devote at least 20 hours to learning the skill; research shows that spending 20 hours on any skill will greatly improve your understanding and ability. Reserve practice time for days when you have plenty of free time and the time of day when you feel most alert(机敏的).
A. Give yourself tests.
B. Learning new things is beneficial at any age.
C. Set a study or practice schedule.
D. The better you can explain something, the better you understand it.
E. Apply the ideas you’ve learned and find out what works best for you in practice.
F. You can learn new things without paying for a class.
G. Ask people you know if they can recommend a teacher to you.
Passage 3
(2025-2026学年高一下·湖南衡阳·期末)Developing healthy study habits is key to academic success, especially in high school. With so many distractions and responsibilities, it’s easy to fall into unproductive routines. 11 These habits will not only boost your grades but also reduce stress and build confidence in your learning abilities.
Create a consistent study space.
12 It doesn’t have to be a fancy desk or a quiet library, but it should be a place where your brain associates with focus. Keep it organized, free from unnecessary distractions like phones or loud music, and use it only for studying. Over time, this space will signal to your brain that it’s time to work, making it easier to get into the zone.
Break tasks into small, manageable steps.
Large assignments or exam reviews can feel overwhelming at first. 13 Instead of thinking “I need to study for the math final,” break it down into smaller tasks: “Review Chapter 3 formulas” or “Solve 10 practice problems on quadratic equations.” Checking off these small wins will keep you motivated and prevent procrastination.
Use active learning techniques instead of passive reading.
Simply rereading notes or textbooks is often ineffective for long-term memory. 14 Try summarizing key ideas in your own words, teaching concepts to a friend (or even an imaginary audience), or creating flashcards for tricky terms. These methods force your brain to engage with the material, making it more likely to stick.
Take regular breaks and prioritize rest.
Many students believe that studying for hours without stopping is the best way to learn. However, our brains need time to rest and process information. 15 Short breaks — like walking around, drinking water, or stretching — can refresh your focus. Additionally, getting enough sleep each night is just as important as studying; a tired brain struggles to retain new information.
A. Instead of tackling everything at once, divide big goals into tiny, specific tasks.
B. The good news is that you can build these habits with a few simple, intentional changes.
C. A dedicated study space helps train your brain to switch into “learning mode” quickly.
D. To make studying more effective, swap passive habits for active ones.
E. You don’t need a perfect setup to start building a productive study routine.
F. Overworking yourself can lead to burnout, which harms both your grades and your health.
G. Active learning takes more effort at first, but it pays off in better understanding and recall.
Passage 4
(2025-2026学年高一下·山西吕梁·期末)
A Real Job at School
In Bowling Green, Kentucky, high school students are not just learning about computers — they’re fixing them for real. The school district has a student-run team that repairs broken Chromebooks.
Here’s how it works. When a teacher finds a broken Chromebook, he or she submits an online repair ticket. Students on the team then diagnose the problem, replace broken parts, and test the device. 16 It usually takes just a few days.
The benefits for the school are clear. First, it saves money. The district avoids paying expensive repair fees to outside companies. 17 Second, it’s much faster. Sending devices out for repair could take weeks, but the student team gets them back in action quickly. It also frees up the district’s IT staff, letting them focus on bigger projects.
18 They earn class credit for their work. Even better, they can get paid $10 an hour. “We take a step back and let the kids do what they do,” said Megan Marcum, the district’s digital learning coach. 19 They learn to communicate clearly with teachers about repair progress, manage their time to meet deadlines, and solve problems independently.
The program has been running smoothly for 10 years. Students train the next generation of the team, creating a reliable talent pipeline for the district’s IT department. Many former team members have even gone on to pursue tech-related careers after graduation. 20
A. Only parts and labor are paid for.
B. Students gain the most from the program.
C. It only costs extra money to buy a new device.
D. When done, they tell the teacher the device is ready.
E. It’s truly a win-win project for both school and students.
F. Apart from grades and pay, students gain more practical skills.
G. In addition to praise and money, students take free courses.
Passage 5
(2025-2026学年高一下·河北张家口·期末)The introduction of AI-driven virtual classrooms is a great new development in modern education. Virtual learning environments and AI are working together to change education, influencing both students and teachers.
21 AI checks individual performance and learning habits to create suitable study plans. This method increases student interest and fills knowledge gaps. Most importantly, it ensures each student learns at their own pace.
Another important function is the Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). AI acts as a helpful digital teacher through ITS. It checks student progress, finds weak points, and offers personal guidance. It can also answer common questions anytime with quick replies. 22
Game-based learning is also changing the classroom experience. 23 AI improves this by adding game parts like scores, small prizes, and ranking lists. It fits the game experience to different learning styles, helping students remember what they have learned and enjoy studying more.
AI also makes communication easier in virtual classrooms. 24 AI uses smart language tools to write down lessons and offer real-time subtitles on the screen. This gets rid of communication difficulties and creates a warmer learning environment. Students can ask questions easily and feel less lonely online.
Finally, data prediction helps teachers know about students’ future learning conditions. AI looks at attendance, grades, and daily actions to find students in trouble early. 25 As a result, more students can stay in school and get a fair chance at education.
A. One key feature is personalized learning.
B. Good communication is key in online learning.
C. This offers students support whenever they need it.
D. This early discovery helps teachers give help in time.
E. It provides students with chances to play games freely.
F. AI will replace human teachers in schools sooner or later.
G. It adds fun to education and greatly raises student interest.
