Requirements for the Carrier Envelope:We ask that all contest entry envelopes (<7x9 inches,with original artwork and calligraphy)be placed inside a plain carrier envelope(any size, no external art)that is clearly marked on the front with the contest address(see below)and with correct postage(邮资). Stamps:The 2026 contest will continue to require at least one stamp on the contest entry envelope (preferably one that integrates with the design),but it need not have the full correct postage.For student entries mailed together by a teacher,postage on the contest entry envelope is not required.However,integration of at least one stamp into the design does strengthen a 高三英语试题第2页共8页 submission.

A Judge's Perspective My advice to entrants is to think outside the box regarding the theme-reject the most obvious ideas!Really let yourself go in thinking of different approaches to the subject.I see each entry envelope as a natural integration of three parts:solid lettering;creative design or illustration;and stamps relating to the theme. 21.What can a carrier envelope be like?

B I'm Mayo.In a couple of minutes,I'd be called onstage to introduce myself to 100 people, like other new attendees who'd spoken confidently and gotten applause.Logically,I knew I shouldn't fear public speaking,yet I was frightened.My body betrayed me with racing heart, sweaty hands,dry mouth,and negative thoughts flooded in:What if I pause improperly when speaking?What if they dislike me?What if I fail?Before my turn,I escaped,my fear stopping me from speaking up again. Having grown tired of fear controlling my life,I decided to overcome it for good.That choice was driven by the saying:"Fear is temporary.Regret is forever."I arranged a 4-day getaway on my own,leaving behind the Internet,my phone and social media.All I would have was myself. Wandering the countryside and journaling,I figured out where my fear came from:my childhood. 高三英语试题第3页共8页 Whenever I'd spoken up in front of others back then,all I got was laughter,not praise. Then I had a realization:fear wasn't my enemy but a protector.I didn't need to fight it,just reconcile by understanding its origin,valuing its purpose,and then letting it go.By the trip's end, I'd filled a joumal and started living in harmony with my fears,feeling more grateful.I'd aimed to overcome fear,but ultimately got on well with it. Guided by "Face up to your fears and they won't be your fears anymore,"I took small steps: raising my hand at events,then speaking to friends.Each step lifted a weight.Months later,I spoke to strangers.Chest tightness now came from excitement,not fear.Today,I speak confidently to diverse people.Public speaking isn't about me,but positively impacting others. Someone in the audience always needs my message,which might change their lives or stop disastrous choices.With this service-focused way of thinking,fear no longer holds me back. 24.Why did the author escape betore speaking? A.He forgot his lines. B.He had a sore throat. C.He feared mistakes. D.He hated big crowds. 25.What do we know about Mayo's four-day trip? A.It made him reconnect with friends. B.It included considerable difficulties. C.It eased his fear by linking to nature. D.It helped him discever the source of fear. 26.What does the underlined word "reconcile"mean in paragraph 3? A.Seek targets. B.Make peace. C.Lessen reliance. D.Try new things. 27.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Learn to Befriend Fear B.Fight against Fixed Thought C.Fear Originates from Inside D.From Speechless to Talkative C At a conference last week,I received an interesting piece of advice:"Assume you are wrong." The advice came from Brian Nosek,a fellow psychology professor.He wasn't objecting to any particular claim I'd made-he was offering a strategy for pursuing better science,and for encouraging others to do the same. To understand the context for Nosek's advice,we need to take a step back-to the nature of science itself.Despite what many of us learned in elementary school,there is no single scientific method.Just as scientific theories change,so do scientific methods. Assuming you are right might be a motivating force,sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires.But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks,and for scientific arguments to develop into personal battles.Beginning,instead,from the assumption you are wrong,a criticism is easier to be viewed as a helpful pointer,a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong-a goal that your critic probably shares. Nosek's advice may sound pessimistic,but it's not so foreign to science.Philosophers of science sometimes refer to the“pessimistic meta-induction(元归纳)”on the history of science: All of our past scientific theories have been wrong,so surely our current theories will turn out to be wrong,too.That doesn't mean we haven't made progress,but it does indicate that there is always room for improvement-ways to be less wrong. I like the advice because it builds in an awareness of our limitations and a readiness to accept the unknown ("there are things I do not know!")along with a sense that we can do better ("there are things I do not know yet!").It also builds in a sense of community-we're all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right.Perhaps the focus on a shared goal- our goal as scientists and humans of being less wrong-can help make up for any harm in scientific motivation or communication. 高三英语试题第4页共8页 28.Why did Nosek send the advice? A.To express opinions about my claims. B.To remind me to be open to criticism. C.To encourage me to take up science. D.To better my understanding of psychology. 29.How does assuming you are wrong help? A.It motivates scientists to make efforts B.It addresses personal attacks and conflicts C.It sets a constructive improvement goal. D.It contributes to a deeper insight into yourself. 30.What does the author think of scientific theories? A.Dynamic. B.Testable. C.Pioneering. D.Well-established. 31.What does the author appreciate about the advice"assume you are wrong"? A.It helps scientists avoid criticism from others. B.It confirms that past theories are always wrong. C.It encourages scientists to compete for better results. D.It combines humility with hope and a sense of shared effort. D Why does“bouba'”sound round and“kiki'”sound spiky(尖锐的)？This perception,known as "bouba-kiki"effect,is reliable all over the world,and for at least a century,scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language,theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape.But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding:baby chickens make these same pairings,suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole,a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua.She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels:one featured a flower-like shape with gently rounded curves;the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion.They then played recordings of humans saying either "bouba"or "kiki"and observed the birds'behavior. When the chicks heard"bouba,"80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape.When the chicks heard"kiki,"the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out,since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak.Instead the "bouba-kiki"effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves.When round objects hit the ground or roll,they typically produce more continuous,low-frequency sounds than spiky ones.A built-in grasp of those dynamics,linking sight and sound,could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment,possibly to locate food or avoid predators(食肉动物). The "bouba-kiki"effect may have played a role in the emergence of language.But for chickens,this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose."Even if language is unique to humans,"Loconsole says,"that doesn't mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.” 32.What does the new study focus on? A.The origin of human language. B.Sound-shape connections in chicks. C.Animals'detection of shapes. D.Brain-behavior relationships of birds. 高三英语试题第5页共8页 33.In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds? A.Sound source identification. B.Reaction speed. C.Exploration preference. D.Matching accuracy. 34.What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect? A.Its historical context. B.Its potential application. C.Its overlooked limitation D.Its possible explanation. 35.What does Loconsole say about the effect? A.It originated in birds. B.It speeds up birds'evolution. C.It may be shared across species. D.It's vital to language emergence. Ⅱ.七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Phone interviews are generally designed to screen out candidates who are not a good fit for the role,while identifying promising applicants to bring in for in-person interviews.136 It gives employers a quick snapshot of your background,personality,and overall "fit"for the position.With this in mind,you can get ready for phone interviews and craft well-thought-out, prepared responses to the most-asked questions. 37 Preparing ahead of time for this question lets you reflect on your career goals,past work history,and even personal hobbies going with the position.You don't want to sound overly scripted,but putting down a few brief notes about your background can make this question far easier to answer. Salary expectations represent another topic you ought to prepare for.38 Does the job list a salary?What is the average salary for this kind of position?In most cases,it works best to state that your salary expectations are flexible-especially if you do not want to risk losing the opportunity. A third key question to anticipate is "Why do you want this role?"At its core,interviewers are trying to figure out what draws you to their company.Researching the organization and bringing up its core values or other specific details will strengthen your genuine interest in the job. 39 Last but not least,you will be asked when you are available to start work.This is up to your unique situation.40 If you need more time,you should not only state that,but also explain why in order to show that you're still interested in the position,but have other circumstances at play that require additional time. A.Surely,you should do your homework beforehand. B.Basically,a phone interview marks the first stage of the hiring process. C.Prepare to account for employment gaps so as not to make you look bad. D.Behavioral questions will tell the interviewer more about your personality. E.Very often,an interview opens with the question"Tell me about yourself." F.Feel free to convey your strong enthusiasm for the position to your interviewer. G.However,most candidates need roughly two weeks'notice after accepting an offer. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 高三英语试题第6页共8页 Justin Mutawassim was 5 years old the first time he took a flight.The Delta pilots on board invited him to41_the cockpit(驾驶舱).“I remember sitting there and being42_by all the buttons,"he said.By age 6,he had decided:"I wanted to be a pilot."

"So have you ever ridden a horse?"Aunt Letty asked,trying to turn his attention away from his phone."Hmmm,no."he answered."Well,we've got a nice calm horse I think you'll like. Hercules-sounds like a beast,but he's basically a gentle giant-big,but kindhearted!"she said, smiling.Eduardo glanced at his aunt,annoyed that he was expected to work.He tried to text a friend but there was no cell reception. The next two days were busy.The crow of the roosters woke them up,and they had breakfast before dawn.Then they went out to the barn to get the feed while the animals waited to be fed. The afternoons were filled with transporting hay,cleanup,and caring for the animals.At dusk, when the farm was finally quiet,Aunt Letty stretched her arms out and breathed,"Just take a deep breath of that sweet country air!"Eduardo,exhausted from his chores,was unable to appreciate his work. On the fourth day,without warning,Aunt Letty announced,"It's time to meet Hercules."She led Eduardo into the stables.Aunt Letty was right.Hercules was remarkable! Aunt Letty held her hand open for Eduardo to take.Reluctantly,he let her guide his hand toward Hercules and allowed the magnificent creature to sniff his palm.Softly,Hercules rubbed its nose and mouth against him. “It feels like velvet(天s绒)”Eduardo beamed.An hour later,.Eduardo was scratching Hercules on his neck and offering him carrots.Magically,a bond between them formed.That night,as they headed toward the house,Eduardo was inspired.His arms spreading wide,he inhaled(吸气)and said,Take a breath of that sweet country air!”' 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式作答。 Para 1:One morning,Eduardo spotted Aunt Letty riding the horse Hercules,and asked if he could give it a try.

Yours, Li Hua 读后续写范文： One morning,Eduardo spotted Aunt Letty riding the horse Hercules,and he asked if he might give it a try.A big smile spread across Aunt Letty's face at his request.She slowly helped Eduardo climb up onto Hercules'back,adjusting his position to make sure he sat securely. Nervous but thrilled,Eduardo held the reins tightly.Hercules stepped forward gently,carrying him across the green pasture.Along the horse ride,the details of the scenery were revealed in front of Eduardo:the fresh air kissing his face softly and the rich and earthy smell of soil floating in the air. Best of all,he was immersed in this peaceful country life. Happy days always flew by,and Eduardo's spring break was drawing to an end.Mom and Dad were right.The spring break at Aunt Letty's farm was the best ever experience for Eduardo. Before leaving,he glanced back at the beautiful farmland and inhaled one more breath of the sweet country air.He touched Hercules on the neck softly and whispered to him,"Dear friend,it's really hard to say goodbye to you."Sensing the unavoidable departure,the horse rubbed his nose against Eduardo's palm over and over again.Believe it or not,Eduardo began to appreciate the beauty in life with his own eyes instead of the smartphone camera,and decided he would spend his next spring break in the countryside. 阅读理解详解： Passage A 【导语】文章主要介绍了2026年优雅信封设计大赛的主题、参赛要求、提交方式、评选标 准及评委建议等相关信息。
