B The tough requirements of the IB program became my reality on the third day of school,when I faced an extremely difficult physics experiment.My teacher's claim that no one would score above 90%shook my confidence.This anxiety increased at home,where my father voiced his concerns about me not making any progress on the SAT,a necessity for a famous university. The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the Regional Red Cross Youth Council.As vice president of my school's Red Cross Club,I had never considered this possibility.The Red Cross was my passion and what I depended on to set me apart from other students applying.This rejection made my future seem dark,and I broke like a rubber band (stretched beyond its limit. I found my mother,the woman who had given up her own career and life for my opportunities,and poured out my fears.She listened carefully before drawing a circle on the tablecloth."This is your time,"she began."Eighty percent is schoolwork,ten percent the SAT,and ten percent extracurriculars."She then looked at me with a serious,caring look and said,"But most importantly,at one hundred percent,is your mental health.” "Nothing is more important than your overall well-being,"she continued."We want you to have a good job so you'll be less stressed.If this path makes you so unhappy,it isn't worth it.If you're happier flipping hamburgers,so be it..” Her words came as a big relief.I realized a rubber band doesn't have to keep stretching.A rubber band that holds your hair during the day and rests on your nightstand at night won't break as easily. Though my daily routine remained the same-studying hard and pursuing excellence-my perspective was forever changed.The fear of failure lost its power.I am still reaching for the moon,but I am no longer afraid.For I know that if I miss,I will land right in my mother's arms. 26.What does the underlined word "catalyst"in paragraph 2 mean?

Nicole Hu,a technology officer from One Concem,says the key is to feed the computers a lot of data 5/8 about an area.The data may include information about homes and other buildings,the natural environment, and the size of an earthquake.The computers then use the information to make predictions about what would happen if there were an earthquake in the area.It then uses data from past earthquakes to see whether its predictions are any good,and changes its predictive models accordingly. Gregory Deierlein,earthquake engineer at Stanford University,says one of the most surprising things about the company's software is its ability to make use of data-from an earthquake as it's happening,and to change its predictions in real time. In the past,researchers would collect data after an event and a few years later they'd produce new models, says Deierlein.Now the new models appear in a matter of minutes. Dan Ghiorso leads the Woodside Fire Protection District near San Francisco,which covers about 32 square miles.He says in the past,when an earthquake hit,he'd have to make educated guesses (based on experience and training)about what parts of his district might be badly damaged and then drive to each place to have a look around.He hopes One Concern's software will change that."Instead of driving thirty-two square miles,in fifteen minutes on a computer I can get a good idea of the damage,"he says."Instead of me taking my educated guess,they're putting science behind the predictive models." 31.What do we know about the software's predictions? A.They are about when an earthquake may happen. B.They are based on data from many different areas. C They can be made before and during an earthquake. D.They can tell people the size of an earthquake. 32.What is an advantage of the software according to Deierein? A.It has many different models. B It is sold at very low prices. C.It can be used by common people. D.It can make predictions very fast. 33.What does the underlined word"that"in the last paragraph refer to? A.How to save people during earthquakes. B.How to train firefighters to make guesses. C.How Ghiorso gets to know earthquake damage.D.How Ghiorso looks at new predictive models. 34.How does Ghiorso feel about the new technology? A.Worried. B.Doubtful. C.Uncaring. D.Hopeful. 35.What is the purpose of the passage? A.To tell us how to reduce earthquake damage. B.To introduce the software developed by One Concern. C To introduce a promising company. D.To tell us how software works. 第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 第三节阅读短文及文后AB选项，选出可以填入36-40各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。 A bag of hybrid rice,which had been grown in Guinea,an African country,travelled thousands of miles to Changsha as a special way to honour a great man. On the morning of 29 April 2026,Fang Zhihui,a student of Yuan Longping,followed the wish of the government and the people of Guinea to visit Deng Ze,Yuan Longping's wife.36 On the front of 5/8 the bag were the national flags of both China and Guinea,together with a picture of hybrid rice.On the back, there was a message that had been written by Mamadi Doumbouya,Prime Minister of Guinea. 37 After speaking highly of the success that hybrid rice had achieved in his country,he took out a bag of rice which had been grown locally.He wrote a message on the back of the bag and then gave it to Fang,asking him to bring it to Deng Ze.38 In order to keep the 5-kilogram bag of rice safe,Fang placed it carefully inside his suitcase and took great care of it during the long jourey. After receiving the bag of rice,Deng Ze murmured to herself,"Longping,look. 39 Someone is carrying on your dream for you."40 Not only does it show Guinea's thanks,because the hybrid rice has helped solve its food shortage,but it also expresses the country's gratitude to China for its long-term support.More importantly,it stands for sincere respect for Yuan Longping. A.He held a bag of rice with both hands. B.This gift from Guinea carries deep meaning. C.Your rice seeds have already produced crops in Africa.

A long-term study followed young teenagers for many years and found something interesting.Those who regularly did chores-setting the table,folding clothes,walking the dog-were more likely to grow into confident and helpful adults."Everyday tasks give children a feeling:I am part of this family,and my work matters."one researcher explained."That feeling of being useful,"she adds,"is a powerful fuel for growing up”. Chores also teach skills that no test can measure.Cooking a simple meal,finding the best price at the corner shop,or fixing a broken lamp teaches planning,patience and the art of solving problems step by step. One boy proudly makes noodles for the family when his parents come home late."It's not just about the noodles,.”says his mother.“He sees what we do,.and he joins in.” Some parents,however,worry that chores will eat into study time.Most experts see it differently.Studies in several countries have found no-sign-that proper housework hurts grades.In fact,when students are stuck on homework,a ten-minute break spent tidying up or walking the dog often helps them return with a clearer head. So the kitchen need not be the enemy of the desk.Young people who learn to serve at home,experts say, grow into adults who can stand on their own-and who care about the world beyond their own rooms. 46.Why do many teenagers put off doing housework? 47.What did the long-term study find about teenagers who often did chores? 48.Which skills can teenagers learn from everyday chores? 49.What have studies found about chores and grades? 50.How will teenagers grow up to be if they learn to serve at home according to experts? 四、写作（共三节，满分30分） 第一节选词填空（共6小题，年小题1分，共6分） 请从方框内选择适当的词并根据品要用其正形这速空使文章完整连贯。注意每空仅填一词，每 词仅用一次，有两词为多余选项。 thus shame respend with advise somehow about Long long ago,there were many states in China.The State of Oi used to be very strong,but it became less powerful as time went by.Therefore,Yan Zi,an outstanding official who gave practical 51 to the king,was sent to ask Chu for help.

That's why I'm here,"Yan Zi replied slowly.Later at dinner,a thief57 (bring)by the guards to the king.The thief was from Qi."Ha!Yan Zi,is Qi 58 state of thieves?"asked the king impolitely. Yan Zi replied,"The orange trees south of Huai River produce big and delicious fruit,while the orange trees north of Huai River produce small and sour fruit.The environment makes the fruit grow differently.In Qi,people are good and honest,but here,they steal.What made 59(they)personalities change here?"Finally,the king looked at Yan Zi with 60(admire),"I was wrong about you and your state!" The story of Yan Zi shows that we should make an effort to win others'respect with our own courage and wisdom. 第三节书面表达（共1小题，满分20分） 61,假设你是学校Just Ask'"专栏的编辑Aunt Linda,你看到了Roger给专栏写的一封求助信，请根据下 方信息提示给他写一封回信并发布在专栏中，你的回信包括： 1.表六你对Roger的理解和共情： 2.就他的问题给出你的建议（至少2个）， 3.表大你的鼓励和美好枳愿。 Dear Aunt Linda, These days I am facing a big problem at home and I really need your help.
