(2026·巴中高二月考)What if everything happens for a reason? Burnt toast theory, a modern view on this classic idea, suggests that every little inconvenience we experience in our day-to-day lives happens for a bigger reason.
Imagine you accidentally burn your toast before leaving for work. According to burnt toast theory, this tiny inconvenience can cause a domino effect (多米诺效应). Your morning gets delayed by three to five minutes—just enough time to leave the house later than usual and avoid a potential car accident. Or perhaps you catch a later train, missing an awkward encounter with someone you don't intend to see. You might even meet someone new whom you wouldn't have otherwise met, leading to a friendship or romantic connection.
When we feel like things are outside our control, that can be scary. The burnt toast theory can help some people let go of their need for control and take negative situations more positively.
However, while maintaining a positive mindset can be beneficial, over-optimism can lead to “poisonous positivity”. When we only allow ourselves to focus on positive thoughts, we are denying ourselves the chance to properly deal with challenges and difficult situations to better ourselves, focusing on creating a false positive facade (假象) instead. By constantly avoiding negative experiences, we might ignore their real impact on us and fail to acknowledge when we're struggling. It can make us feel worse about ourselves, and may lead to pushing down negative feelings or experiences, and refusing to acknowledge or deal with them fully.
Instead of focusing purely on positive thinking, working towards developing a growth mindset may be more helpful. You don't always have to look for life's silver linings, or even the meaning behind a little burnt toast. Sometimes things happen, and they suck. But as long as we take time to acknowledge how these things make us feel, and recognize that we can't always control everything around us, we can still work towards improving ourselves, and how we handle life's unexpected challenges—and that's what really matters.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了烤焦面包理论的内涵,分析其积极意义与过度乐观的弊端,进而提出培养成长型思维的重要性。
4.What can be inferred from the burnt toast theory?
A.Lost in the east, gained in the west.
B.Life is a process, not a destination.
C.Lost time will never be found again.
D.Life is full of endless challenges.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,根据烤焦面包理论,看似不好的小事情,可能会引发一系列连锁反应,带来意想不到的好结果,这体现了“失之东隅,收之桑榆”的道理,即虽然在一方面有所损失,却在另一方面有所收获。
5.Which can be an outcome from “poisonous positivity”?
A.Inability to control emotions.
B.Decline in physical health.
C.Loss of chances to grow.
D.Failure to acknowledge others.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When we only allow...a false positive facade instead.”可知,“有毒的积极心态”可能导致的结果是失去成长的机会。
6.Which can be seen as a growth mindset mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.Avoiding pushing others too hard.
B.Finding reasons for failure.
C.Keeping a positive mindset and looking for chances.
D.Accepting life and looking for chances.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第五段中的“But as long as...and that's what really matters.”可推知,成长型思维是指接纳生活现状并努力让其变得更好。
7.Which is the best possible title for the passage?
A.Burnt Toast Theory: More than Positivity
B.Burnt Toast Theory: How to Live Actively
C.Burnt Toast Theory: Find a True Self
D.Burnt Toast Theory: Lead a Positive Life
A 解析:标题归纳题。通读全文,文章围绕烤焦面包理论展开,不仅介绍其积极意义,还分析了过度乐观的危害,进而引出成长型思维的重要性,因此A项最适合作为文章标题。

(2026·洛阳高二检测)The QR code menu—which you access by scanning a black-and-white square with your smartphone—has taken off.It may dominate going forward.
For restaurants,QR code menus offer potential benefits beyond putting diners who hate germs at greater ease.In the near future, rather than offer the same unchanging selections to every diner, restaurants might employ dynamic menus from which dishes disappear as the kitchen runs out.
For diners, however, QR code menus are not really an advance. You may just be checking to see what you want your next drink to be, but from there it's easy to start checking texts and emails.Even if everyone resists the temptation (诱惑) to check an incoming text message, merely having a phone out on the table makes a meal less fun for all involved. In the study “Smartphone Use Undermines Enjoyment of Face-to-Face Social Interactions”, the social psychology researcher Ryan Dwyer and his colleagues randomly assigned some people to keep their phones out when they were dining with friends and others to put them away.“We found that groups assigned to use their phones enjoyed the experience less than groups that did not use their phones,” Dwyer said, “primarily due to the fact that participants with phones were more distracted.”
QR code menus invade privacy, too.“Many of the codes are actually generated by a different company that collects, uses, and then often shares your personal information,” the American Civil Liberties Union has warned.“In fact, companies that provide QR codes to restaurants like to brag (吹嘘) about all the personal information you are sharing along with that food order:your location, your demographics such as gender and the age group, and other information about you and your behavior.”
The next few years may determine to what degree the restaurant of the future embraces the digital era or conserves the traditional focus on sociability and connection by deliberately avoiding it.There's one thing for sure:their success is not appointed in advance.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。智能手机、移动互联网的出现让信息传播的渠道发生了翻天覆地的变化,点餐过程也随之发生了新的变化。本文介绍了使用二维码菜单点单可能带来的问题。
8.Which kind of menu may a restaurant offer in the near future?
A.A paper menu.
B.A clean menu.
C.A changeable menu.
D.A personalized menu.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In the near future...restaurants might employ dynamic menus from which dishes disappear as the kitchen runs out.”可知,未来餐馆提供的菜单可能是不断变化的。
9.How does the QR code menu affect diners' dining experience?
A.It offers a discount.
B.It takes their attention away.
C.It forces them to check texts.
D.It recommends better drinks.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We found that groups...were more distracted.” 可知,使用二维码菜单会分散食客的注意力。
10.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A.QR code menus will be forbidden.
B.Restaurants tend to share diners' location.
C.Scanning QR code menus may put diners at risk.
D.QR codes aim to collect diners' personal information.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,二维码菜单会侵犯食客的隐私。由此可推知,扫描二维码菜单可能会给食客带来风险。
11.What does the author tend to tell us according to the passage?
A.Problems brought by QR code menus.
B.Restaurants' difficulties in the digital era.
C.Technology challenges of QR code menus.
D.Diners' concerns about an invasion of privacy.
A 解析:推理判断题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了使用二维码菜单的弊端,所以作者主要是通过这篇文章告诉我们二维码菜单带来的问题。

One possible version:
Dear Jackson,
I'm more than delighted to share my opinion on whether you should go to study abroad.Frankly, I hold the view that it makes good sense to study abroad.The reasons are as follows.
To begin with, while we are studying abroad,being exposed to a foreign language setting makes the learning process engaging and effective.Moreover,bathed in a different culture of a foreign country,we can gain great insights into the world because cross-cultural experiences can give us a global perspective.Last but not least, studying abroad takes us out of our comfort zone and makes us become better,which is the most important from my perspective.
All things considered, I hope you can choose to study abroad and start a new life.
Yours,
Li Hua
Ⅳ.读后续写
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2026·连云港高二期末)I hold the two shiny coins in my pocket—just enough for two carousel rides. The air is filled with the sounds of the carousel: the cheerful music, the rhythmic spinning (旋转), and the laughter of children. They're all reaching for rings from the dispenser (自动售货机) as they spin past, each hoping to catch the gold ring. That's the one I'm after too. Every ride, a single gold ring appears, and whoever grabs it wins a ticket for a free, giant ice-cream. Silver rings just mean another ride, but I'm set on the gold.
Spotting my friend Alice through the crowd, I pull Mum by the sleeve. “Look, Mama,” I say, pointing. “Can I go and say hello?” Mum nods, saying “Go ahead, Grace.” I take off through the crowd.
Alice is watching the carousel, her eyes fixed on the spinning horses. “Are you going to ride?” I ask. She shakes her head. “Papa doesn't bring any coins today.”
Feeling the weight of my two coins, I know Mum won't mind if I share. “Do you want to ride with me?” I offer, holding up the coins. Her smile is all the answer I need.
“I'm going to share my coins with Alice,” I whisper to Mum as we make our way towards the carousel. Mum's smile tells me I made the right choice.
I hand my coin to the worker and Alice gives him another of my coins. “Which one do you want to ride?” asks Alice. I think she wants me to choose first since I'm the one who paid. A blue horse with a chipped nose catches my eye. “This one,” I say proudly, climbing on and grasping the pole tightly. Alice looks around quickly and picks the one right behind me.
As we spin, the music slows, signaling the end of the ride. I have one more chance for the gold ring. And there it is, sliding down the dispenser. I stretch out my hand, but it slips through my fingers. Maybe next time.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Behind me, Alice starts shouting with excitement._________

One possible version:
Behind me, Alice starts shouting with excitement. Looking back, I see her holding up the gold ring high, her face brightened up with joy. “That's amazing, Alice!” I exclaim, with a wide grin spreading across my face, though a touch of disappointment flashes through my mind. We climb down from the carousel. I run to my mum while Alice can't wait to get her giant ice cream. Mum sensitively perceives the little upset on my face, gently comforting me, “Maybe next time.”
“Grace! Let's share it!” she shouts, holding up the ice cream. Hearing her words, I smile, my eyes twinkling with joy. I look at Mum who smiles back and nods. I run with Alice to a bench. We eat the ice cream, talking about how lucky we are. After a while, Mum reminds me it is time to go home. “Thanks for the ice cream,” I say to Alice. “Thanks for your coin,” she responds. It is at that moment that we both enjoy the happiness of sharing.
