When Wang Hong accepted the Fields Medal (菲尔兹奖), one of the highest honors in math, in July 2026, many people in China felt proud.
Wang grew up in Pingle County, Guangxi. At the age of four, her arm was badly hurt by boiling water. For many years, her parents took her from one hospital to another. Because her skin was very sensitive (敏感的) to light, she spent a lot of time inside the house. This hard experience did not close her world. Instead, it helped her learn how to be alone, how to read by herself, and how to silence the noise around.
Her father, a math teacher, opened the door to numbers for her. Her mother, an English teacher, helped her fall in love with language. Wang later said that math was one way for her to understand the world. As a child, she was happy when she solved a problem about seven points on a flat surface. Her parents did not force her to follow a fixed path. They gave her freedom, which became an important kind of support.
At Peking University, Wang did not first get into the math school she wanted. Surrounded by classmates who had years of competition training, she began to doubt herself. Still, she could not give up math. She worked hard enough to move into the School of Mathematical Sciences. Later, in Paris and at MIT, she still wondered if she was only good at exercises or if she could really do research. She even stopped math for a while and tried art and architecture (建筑).
In the end, she came back. Years of doubt (怀疑), wrong turns, and trying again did not push her away from the problem. They helped her come back to it with a quieter and stronger mind. Her advice to students was simple: if you get something in the end, it does not matter if you are faster or slower. Do not rush. Take your time.
14. What do we know about Wang Hong when she was little?
A. She was hurt in a fire when she was four.
B. She had to stay indoors because of her skin condition.
C. Her parents sent her to one single hospital for treatment.
D. She was weak in her studies because she became sensitive after the accident.
15. What can we know about the freedom Wang’s parents gave her?
A. It protected her from every problem outside the family.
B. It was mostly shown by sending her to the best-known schools.
C. It let her interests grow without a plan forced on her.
D. It worked because both parents taught the same subject at school.
16. What role does Paragraph 4 play in the passage?
A. It describes the doubts and wrong turns Wang experienced during her studies.
B. It compares the training systems of Peking University, Paris, and MIT.
C. It explains why Wang finally chose architecture before going back to math.
D. It proves that competition experience is the safest way to research.
17. What is the main message we can get from Wang Hong’s story?
A. A hard childhood usually makes people less afraid of being famous.
B. Winning a top prize is the clearest proof of a person’s value.
C. Learning ahead is more important than learning with other people.
D. A slow search can still lead somewhere if one keeps coming back to the real question.
C
For a long time, New York City has been working to increase its green spaces. Every year, the city plants tens of thousands of trees. These trees provide shade, lower surface temperatures, take in a large amount of carbon from the air, clean out harmful things, and give homes to wildlife. They also make the city more beautiful.
However, a new study shows that something may go wrong. Oaks and sweetgums (橡树和糖胶树), which make up most of the city’s trees today, produce large amounts of a chemical called isoprene. Harmless in itself, isoprene quickly reacts with nitrogen oxides—harmful things produced by cars, buildings, and factories—to form ground-level ozone (臭氧)—a major cause of breathing problems.
The study, carried out by scientists from the Columbia Climate School and other research centers, found that if the city keeps planting the same kinds of trees as before, isoprene production in Manhattan will increase by about 140% in the future. As a result, summer ozone levels could rise by as much as 30%.
“We’re all for planting more trees. They bring so many benefits for us in so many ways,” said Róisín Commane, one of the study’s members, “But if we are not careful, we could worsen air quality.”
The city’s Parks Department is not oblivious to this problem. A few years ago, some of its own researchers did a study and found that city trees do release isoprene. “We didn’t talk much about it at the time,” said Novem Auyeung, a senior scientist at the Parks Department. She said people should not see trees as the problem. “We could plant any trees we like if we just change our lifestyle, which depends too much on cars,” she said.
“We are not going to cut down big old oak trees,” Auyeung said, “and we will not stop planting new ones either.” She explained, “You need to think about what you would lose if you did that.” Oak trees are very important, she pointed out, because they provide food and cover for many local insects, birds, and other animals.
18. What does the new study suggest about oaks and sweetgums?
A. They slow down the growth of other trees.
B. They take in less carbon than expectation.
C. They can harm human health indirectly.
D. They slowly raise the temperature in the city.
19. Based on the study, what might Commane suggest?
A. Cutting down the trees that produce isoprene.
B. Stopping tree-planting in the coming years.
C. Choosing different kinds of trees for new planting.
D. Removing isoprene from trees already planted.
20. What does the underlined phrase “not oblivious to” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Honest about. B. Aware of. C. Connected to. D. Hopeful about.
21. What might Auyeung support most?
A. Using cars less in daily life.
B. Giving animals new places to live.
C. Doing more research on this problem.
D. Controlling how fast the population grows.
D
For the second-graders at Canaan Primary School in New York, today is speech day. Right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should…should…” Chris has trouble with the “-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for him because English is not his first language. His teacher, Mr. Whaley, stands next to him and says to him quietly, “You can do it.” “…Vote for…me…” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he finishes his speech, Mr. Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
Chris came to America with his family. He started learning English just three years ago. Mr. Whaley remembers that at the beginning of this year, Chris was afraid to read out loud in class. Every time Mr. Whaley asked him to read, Chris would say he needed to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be difficult and even painful. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any students,” Whaley explains, “especially for students who are learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know, but I want to know.’”
One day, Mr. Whaley asked his students, “Raise your hands if you think you can never be a president.” He felt sad when he saw so many hands go up. That’s why he started this speech project. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants those kids to learn to boast (夸耀) about themselves.
“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”
22. What made Chris nervous?
A. Telling a story. B. Making a speech. C. Taking a test. D. Answering a question.
23. What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Short stops. B. Bad manners. C. Spelling mistakes. D. Silly jokes.
24. What is the purpose of Whaley’s project?
A. To help students see their own strengths. B. To test students’ public speaking skills.
C. To prepare students for their future jobs. D. To develop students’ love for English.
25. Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?
A. Humorous. B. Impatient. C. Caring. D. Serious.

The friends who introduced me to camping thought it meant living like a pioneer. ____27____ We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long way to take showers.

When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I liked. They said to me, "David, the music you listen to is a lot of noise." As it turns out, they are not alone. As I grow older, I've often heard my peers say, "____49____ (today) music is terrible." Many older people loved pop music when they were young. ____50____ why do they dislike new music now?
The mere exposure effect (曝光效应) may explain this. It means the more familiar we are with something, the more ____51____ (like) we are to love it. When we are in our early ____52____ (teen), we usually spend a lot of time listening to popular music. The new songs and artists during this time become familiar to us. After we turn 30 years old, we are busy ____53____ (raise) our families. We don't have as much time to look for new music. Instead, we prefer to listen to our old favorites. According to studies, by the time they turn 33 years old, most people ____54____ (stop) exploring new music completely.
But I think there is another reason for older people's dislike of new music. Most popular music, after all, is not for them. It ____55____ (write) for young people. Some types of music began as a fight by young people ____56____ out-of-date ways of doing things. These types include rap, hip-hop, heavy metal and more. They ____57____ (nature) attract younger listeners.

Ouch! But I can take care of myself
When doing sports, playing with your family pet or cooking a simple meal, you might sometimes get small wounds (伤口). Luckily, as young kids, you often don’t know how to deal with them. Luckily, most small wounds are not so serious. You can learn how to care for them at home. Here is what you can do.
Cuts and scrapes (擦伤)
1. Stop the bleeding (流血). Press a clean, soft cloth on the wound for a few minutes.
2. Clean the wound. Run water over it for five minutes. This may hurt a little. But don’t be afraid. This can help to get all the dirt off the wound.
3. Cover the wound with a band-aid or bandage.
4. Keep the wound dry. It is best to not swim or take a bath until the wound more or less heals (愈合).
If your wound is long and deep or it keeps bleeding, be careful. You need to go to the hospital.
Bites or scratches
Animal bites and scratches (抓伤), even small ones, can sometimes be a problem. Whether the animal is a family pet or one from the wild, bites and scratches can carry diseases (疾病), such as rabies (狂犬病).
• If a cat or dog bites or scratches you, you can clean the wound first. Then, it is better to take a rabies shot (注射) within 24 hours.
• Animals like rabbits, hamsters, lizards and birds usually don’t get rabies. If one of them bites or scratches you, it is not always necessary to take rabies shots.
Burn
A small burn (烫伤) may make your skin red. There may be little blisters (水泡) on the burn.
✅ Run the wound under cold water for about five minutes. Or put a cold cloth on the wound.
❌ Don’t put any home remedies (疗法) on the burn, such as toothpaste. This can make the burn worse.
✅ Cover the wound with a band-aid.
❌ Don’t break any blisters. They are there to help protect the skin.
First-aid kit
bandage 绷带
band-aid 创可贴
cotton bud 棉签
alcohol or iodine 酒精或碘酒
scissors 剪刀
pain relief 止疼剂
59. According to this poster, how many steps are there to deal with cuts and scrapes?

When Wang Hong accepted the Fields Medal (菲尔兹奖), one of the highest honors in math, in July 2026, many people in China felt proud.
Wang grew up in Pingle County, Guangxi. At the age of four, her arm was badly hurt by boiling water. For many years, her parents took her from one hospital to another. Because her skin was very sensitive (敏感的) to light, she spent a lot of time inside the house. This hard experience did not close her world. Instead, it helped her learn how to be alone, how to read by herself, and how to silence the noise around.
Her father, a math teacher, opened the door to numbers for her. Her mother, an English teacher, helped her fall in love with language. Wang later said that math was one way for her to understand the world. As a child, she was happy when she solved a problem about seven points on a flat surface. Her parents did not force her to follow a fixed path. They gave her freedom, which became an important kind of support.
At Peking University, Wang did not first get into the math school she wanted. Surrounded by classmates who had years of competition training, she began to doubt herself. Still, she could not give up math. She worked hard enough to move into the School of Mathematical Sciences. Later, in Paris and at MIT, she still wondered if she was only good at exercises or if she could really do research. She even stopped math for a while and tried art and architecture (建筑).
In the end, she came back. Years of doubt (怀疑), wrong turns, and trying again did not push her away from the problem. They helped her come back to it with a quieter and stronger mind. Her advice to students was simple: if you get something in the end, it does not matter if you are faster or slower. Do not rush. Take your time.
14. What do we know about Wang Hong when she was little?
A. She was hurt in a fire when she was four.
B. She had to stay indoors because of her skin condition.
C. Her parents sent her to one single hospital for treatment.
D. She was weak in her studies because she became sensitive after the accident.
15. What can we know about the freedom Wang’s parents gave her?
A. It protected her from every problem outside the family.
B. It was mostly shown by sending her to the best-known schools.
C. It let her interests grow without a plan forced on her.
D. It worked because both parents taught the same subject at school.
16. What role does Paragraph 4 play in the passage?
A. It describes the doubts and wrong turns Wang experienced during her studies.
B. It compares the training systems of Peking University, Paris, and MIT.
C. It explains why Wang finally chose architecture before going back to math.
D. It proves that competition experience is the safest way to research.
17. What is the main message we can get from Wang Hong’s story?
A. A hard childhood usually makes people less afraid of being famous.
B. Winning a top prize is the clearest proof of a person’s value.
C. Learning ahead is more important than learning with other people.
D. A slow search can still lead somewhere if one keeps coming back to the real question.
【答案】14. B 15. C 16. A 17. D
【解析】

【16题详解】
根据最后一段“Years of doubt (怀疑), wrong turns, and trying again did not push her away from the problem.”可知,第四段描述的怀疑和弯路是为后文得出她心态更坚定的结论提供事实依据,展示了成功前的曲折过程。
【17题详解】
本文主要讲述了王虹经历怀疑后回归数学的故事,结合最后一段“Do not rush. Take your time.”可知,只要坚持回归真实问题,缓慢的探索也能成功。
C
For a long time, New York City has been working to increase its green spaces. Every year, the city plants tens of thousands of trees. These trees provide shade, lower surface temperatures, take in a large amount of carbon from the air, clean out harmful things, and give homes to wildlife. They also make the city more beautiful.
However, a new study shows that something may go wrong. Oaks and sweetgums (橡树和糖胶树), which make up most of the city’s trees today, produce large amounts of a chemical called isoprene. Harmless in itself, isoprene quickly reacts with nitrogen oxides—harmful things produced by cars, buildings, and factories—to form ground-level ozone (臭氧)—a major cause of breathing problems.
The study, carried out by scientists from the Columbia Climate School and other research centers, found that if the city keeps planting the same kinds of trees as before, isoprene production in Manhattan will increase by about 140% in the future. As a result, summer ozone levels could rise by as much as 30%.
“We’re all for planting more trees. They bring so many benefits for us in so many ways,” said Róisín Commane, one of the study’s members, “But if we are not careful, we could worsen air quality.”
The city’s Parks Department is not oblivious to this problem. A few years ago, some of its own researchers did a study and found that city trees do release isoprene. “We didn’t talk much about it at the time,” said Novem Auyeung, a senior scientist at the Parks Department. She said people should not see trees as the problem. “We could plant any trees we like if we just change our lifestyle, which depends too much on cars,” she said.
“We are not going to cut down big old oak trees,” Auyeung said, “and we will not stop planting new ones either.” She explained, “You need to think about what you would lose if you did that.” Oak trees are very important, she pointed out, because they provide food and cover for many local insects, birds, and other animals.
18. What does the new study suggest about oaks and sweetgums?
A. They slow down the growth of other trees.
B. They take in less carbon than expectation.
C. They can harm human health indirectly.
D. They slowly raise the temperature in the city.
19. Based on the study, what might Commane suggest?
A. Cutting down the trees that produce isoprene.
B. Stopping tree-planting in the coming years.
C. Choosing different kinds of trees for new planting.
D. Removing isoprene from trees already planted.
20. What does the underlined phrase “not oblivious to” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Honest about. B. Aware of. C. Connected to. D. Hopeful about.
21. What might Auyeung support most?
A. Using cars less in daily life.
B. Giving animals new places to live.
C. Doing more research on this problem.
D. Controlling how fast the population grows.
【答案】18. C 19. C 20. B 21. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了纽约市植树计划虽有益处,但研究发现主流树种释放的化学物质会间接影响空气质量,对此研究人员提出警示,相关部门也给出了回应和建议。
【18题详解】
根据文章第2段“Harmless in itself, isoprene quickly reacts with nitrogen oxides…to form ground-level ozone—a major cause of breathing problems.”可知,橡树和糖胶树产生的物质会与污染物反应形成臭氧,引发呼吸问题,即间接危害人类健康。
【19题详解】
根据文章第3段“if the city keeps planting the same kinds of trees as before, isoprene production in Manhattan will increase…”及第4段“But if we are not careful, we could worsen air quality.”可推知,为了避免空气质量变差,Commane可能会建议在新种植时选择不同种类的树木。
【20题详解】
根据文章第5段“The city’s Parks Department is not oblivious to this problem. A few years ago, some of its own researchers did a study and found that city trees do release isoprene.”可知,公园部门之前做过研究发现了这个问题,说明他们并非“没意识到”,即该短语意为“知道,意识到”。
【21题详解】
根据文章第5段“We could plant any trees we like if we just change our lifestyle, which depends too much on cars.”可知,她认为应改变过度依赖汽车的生活方式,可推知她最支持日常生活中少用车。
D
For the second-graders at Canaan Primary School in New York, today is speech day. Right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should…should…” Chris has trouble with the “-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for him because English is not his first language. His teacher, Mr. Whaley, stands next to him and says to him quietly, “You can do it.” “…Vote for…me…” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he finishes his speech, Mr. Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
Chris came to America with his family. He started learning English just three years ago. Mr. Whaley remembers that at the beginning of this year, Chris was afraid to read out loud in class. Every time Mr. Whaley asked him to read, Chris would say he needed to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be difficult and even painful. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any students,” Whaley explains, “especially for students who are learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know, but I want to know.’”
One day, Mr. Whaley asked his students, “Raise your hands if you think you can never be a president.” He felt sad when he saw so many hands go up. That’s why he started this speech project. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants those kids to learn to boast (夸耀) about themselves.
“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”
22. What made Chris nervous?
A. Telling a story. B. Making a speech. C. Taking a test. D. Answering a question.
23. What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Short stops. B. Bad manners. C. Spelling mistakes. D. Silly jokes.
24. What is the purpose of Whaley’s project?
A. To help students see their own strengths. B. To test students’ public speaking skills.
C. To prepare students for their future jobs. D. To develop students’ love for English.
25. Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?
A. Humorous. B. Impatient. C. Caring. D. Serious.
【答案】22. B 23. A 24. A 25. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Whaley老师通过演讲项目帮助包括Chris在内的学生克服恐惧、建立自信的故事,探讨了教育者如何支持学生成长。
【22题详解】
根据文章第1段“today is speech day. Right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn.”和第2段“But he’s nervous.”可知Chris紧张是因为轮到他在演讲日做演讲。
【23题详解】
根据文章第2段“Chris has trouble with the ‘-ld,’…Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well.”可推知stumbles指演讲中因发音困难导致的卡顿或不流畅,对应Short stops。
【24题详解】
根据文章第5段“He wants those kids to learn to boast about themselves.”和第6段“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities…”可知项目目的是让学生认识并夸耀自己的优点,即帮助学生看到自身优势。
【25题详解】
根据文章第2段“Mr. Whaley, stands next to him and says to him quietly, ‘You can do it.’”和第4段“What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes.”可推知Whaley老师鼓励并允许学生犯错,是一位关心学生的老师。

句意:停止关注未完成的事情,保留一个“已完成”清单来查看你的进展,你可以避免为错过的机会后悔。根据“keep a ‘done’ list to see your progress, and you can avoid...missed chances.”及结合备选单词及短语可知,此处是指保留“已完成”清单,可以避免为错过的机会后悔。regret意为“后悔”,且avoid doing sth.为固定用法,意为“避免做某事”,因此regret需用其动名词形式,即regretting。

请认真阅读下面短文,在答题卡标有题号的横线上,填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
When I was a teenager, my parents were never interested in the music I liked. They said to me, "David, the music you listen to is a lot of noise." As it turns out, they are not alone. As I grow older, I've often heard my peers say, "____49____ (today) music is terrible." Many older people loved pop music when they were young. ____50____ why do they dislike new music now?

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文,主要围绕“为什么年长的人会不喜欢当下的新音乐”这一问题展开,从曝光效应的原理、不同年龄阶段的生活状态差异以及流行音乐的目标受众定位等角度,解释了不同年龄段人群音乐品味存在差异的原因。
【49题详解】
句意:如今的音乐很糟糕。此处要修饰后面的名词music,说明音乐的所属时间是当下,需要把提示名词today变为所有格形式,表示“当今的、现下的”,符合语境。故填Today’s。
【50题详解】
句意:很多年长的人年轻时都热爱流行音乐,但是为什么他们现在不喜欢新音乐了呢?前文提到年长的人年轻时也喜爱流行音乐,后文提出疑问他们如今为何排斥新音乐,前后是转折逻辑,需要用转折连词But衔接,句首首字母大写。故填But。
【51题详解】
句意:它指的是我们对某样事物越熟悉,就越有可能喜爱它。此处符合固定结构be likely to do sth.表示“有可能做某事”,要把提示动词like变为形容词likely,意为“可能的”,契合曝光效应的内容表述。故填likely。
【52题详解】
句意:当我们处在青少年早期的时候,我们通常会花大量时间听流行音乐。固定搭配in one's early teens表示“在某人青少年早期”,此处需要用提示名词teen的复数形式teens。故填teens。
【53题详解】
句意:在我们年满30岁之后,我们会忙于养家。固定搭配be busy doing sth.表示“忙于做某事”,后面要接动名词形式,所以提示动词raise要变为raising。故填raising。
【54题详解】
句意:根据研究,到大多数人年满33岁的时候,他们就已经完全停止探索新音乐了。句中by the time...表示“到……时候为止”,是现在完成时的典型标志,强调动作到某个时间点已经完成,主语most people是复数,所以用have stopped。故填have stopped。
【55题详解】
句意:它(大多数流行音乐)是为年轻人创作的。句子主语It指代前文的popular music,和动词write之间是被动关系,即音乐是被人创作出来的,描述客观事实要用一般现在时的被动语态,结构为is+过去分词。故填is written。
【56题详解】
句意:有一些音乐类型最开始是年轻人用来反抗过时做事方式的一种斗争形式。结合前文的fight和后文的out-of-date ways可知,此处表达“反对、反抗”的含义,用介词against契合语境逻辑。故填against。
【57题详解】
句意:它们自然而然地吸引年轻听众。此处要修饰后面的动词attract,需要把提示形容词nature变为副词naturally,意为“自然地、自然而然地”,用来修饰动作。故填naturally。
【58题详解】
句意:现在读完这篇文章之后,你就知道为什么你的父母有着不一样的音乐品味了。此处表示“一种不同的品味”,different taste是首次提及的泛指概念,different以辅音音素开头,要用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
第七部分 阅读表达(共3小题;79题2分,80题2分,81题3分,满分7分)
Ouch! But I can take care of myself
When doing sports, playing with your family pet or cooking a simple meal, you might sometimes get small wounds (伤口). Luckily, as young kids, you often don’t know how to deal with them. Luckily, most small wounds are not so serious. You can learn how to care for them at home. Here is what you can do.
Cuts and scrapes (擦伤)
1. Stop the bleeding (流血). Press a clean, soft cloth on the wound for a few minutes.
2. Clean the wound. Run water over it for five minutes. This may hurt a little. But don’t be afraid. This can help to get all the dirt off the wound.
3. Cover the wound with a band-aid or bandage.
4. Keep the wound dry. It is best to not swim or take a bath until the wound more or less heals (愈合).
If your wound is long and deep or it keeps bleeding, be careful. You need to go to the hospital.
Bites or scratches
Animal bites and scratches (抓伤), even small ones, can sometimes be a problem. Whether the animal is a family pet or one from the wild, bites and scratches can carry diseases (疾病), such as rabies (狂犬病).
• If a cat or dog bites or scratches you, you can clean the wound first. Then, it is better to take a rabies shot (注射) within 24 hours.
• Animals like rabbits, hamsters, lizards and birds usually don’t get rabies. If one of them bites or scratches you, it is not always necessary to take rabies shots.
Burn
A small burn (烫伤) may make your skin red. There may be little blisters (水泡) on the burn.
✅ Run the wound under cold water for about five minutes. Or put a cold cloth on the wound.
❌ Don’t put any home remedies (疗法) on the burn, such as toothpaste. This can make the burn worse.
✅ Cover the wound with a band-aid.
❌ Don’t break any blisters. They are there to help protect the skin.
First-aid kit
