阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
To better understand how to support children and young people's motivation to write in school, we asked them what would make them want to write. Their responses offer valuable insight into the conditions and experiences that develop genuine engagement with writing (see Figure 1).
The findings indicate that cultivating(培养) environments that prioritise freedom of choice, personal and social relevance, and meaningful engagement may be instrumental in enhancing young people's motivation to write in school.
When asked what they would most like to write about in school if they could choose, young writers suggested a wide range of topics. A word cloud visualizes their preferences, where the size of each word corresponds to its frequency in the responses(see Figure 2).
赣州市2026年高三年级摸底考试英语试卷 第 2 页 (共8页)
Our interviews with students also reveal that they are most motivated when writing allows them to explore both the world around them and the worlds they imagine.
Overall, our research highlights that writing in school is most meaningful when it is rooted in connection to self, to others and to the world, and experienced in its power to engage, bring power, inspire thought and shape identity. As a result, it is suggested that school-based writing should not be only about producing perfect texts but about cultivating young writers who are invested, confident, curious and socially connected.
21. What is most likely to motivate students to write
A. Rewards. B. Autonomy. C. Interest. D. Experiences.
22. Which of the following would students probably prefer to write about
A. A famous song. B. A fashion trend. C. A past civilization. D. A personal interview.
23. Who is the passage most probably intended for
A. Policy makers. B. Young writers. C. Lab researchers. D. School educators.
B
At a small shop outside Abilene, seventeen-year-old Carter Hill rolled in his grandfather's 1974 Chevy that hadn't run since spring. He had careful notes and a photo of his grandfather in the visor(遮阳板)——a reminder of why this mattered, why this particular truck needed to run again.
The mechanic, Ron Tate, noticed the notes and the photo. It struck him that this wasn't just a broken truck—— it was a connection to someone important, a grandfather's vehicle that a grandson was trying to restore.
Ron could have done what most mechanics do: provided an estimate, fixed the truck efficiently, and charged shop rates. Instead, he spent evenings showing Carter how to do it himself: how to clean the carburetor, how to replace worn-out hoses, how to sand the fenders by hand. He did not do it as an employee,not on the clock, but as someone who recognized that this seventeen-year-old needed more than a fixed truck—— he needed to connect to a grandfather, to a generation that built things to last, to a time when vehicles were simpler and more repairable.
After two weeks of work, the engine finally turned over with a smooth rumble—— the sound of an engine coming back to life after months of silence, and the most satisfying sound in automotive work. It was evidence that all the hours, all the adjustments, all the problem-solving had resulted in something that actually works.
Ron didn't charge shop rates for those two weeks of evening instruction. Nor did he bill for his time or expertise. He gave Carter more valuable things—— knowledge, competence, and the confidence that comes from understanding how something works instead of just paying someone else to make it work.
That's not just automotive repair. That's investing in the next generation. That's what true guidance looks like when it's done right.
24. Why did Carter want the truck repaired
A. To restore its original look. B. To sell it for a good price.
C. To return it to his grandfather. D. To honor a family memory.
25. What was special about Ron's service to the boy
A. He worked during off-hours. B. He taught him hands-on skills.
C. He fixed the truck more quickly. D. He charged him less for the service.
26. Which of the following best describes Ron
A. Selfless and caring. B. Efficient and imaginative.
C. Brave and practical. D. Honest and knowledgeable.
赣州市2026年高三年级摸底考试英语试卷 第 3 页(共8页)
27. What is the best title for the passage
A. Value of Restoration B. A Truck for Grandfather
C. A Lesson Beyond Repair D. Love Between Generations

During a golden sunset, Sharon Wilson pointed a thermal- imaging (热成像) camera at a flagship data centre, revealing the enormous heat its AI supercomputer had been releasing into the sky. Meanwhile, the facility's core product, like many other AI chatbots, kept generating floods of false or harmful content for users worldwide.“It's a horrible waste,” said Wilson, director of the campaign group Oilfield Witness.
Wilson is not alone in having this concern. Scientists are watching the AI expansion with unease as it pollutes the natural world with carbon and the digital world with dangers ranging from misinformation to poisonous videos.
Data centres currently consume about 1% of global electricity, but that share may jump soon. Their slice of power is projected to hit 8.6% by 2035, while the International Energy Agency (IEA) expects data centres to account for at least a fifth of electricity- demand growth to the end of the decade.
What if AI could pay off its energy debts by saving carbon elsewhere That idea was put forward in anIEA report, which argued that AI applications could cut emissions (排放) by far more than data centres produce. A research paper reached a similar conclusion after modelling cases in which AI would help integrate solar and wind into power networks, improve battery chemistry in electric cars, and encourage consumers to make climate- friendly choices.
The projected carbon savings carry large uncertainties—— greater efficiency can lead to greater use, theIEA warns, and rebound effects may undercut the gains, such as self- driving cars undermining public transport.But other sectors are so polluting, the researchers say, AI would need to cut their emissions by only a small percentage to cover its own carbon cost.
Ultimately, given the massive energy consumed by algorithms (算法), it is essential that AI be employed to“do good in terms of fighting the climate crisis—— designing the next generation of batteries, tracking deforestation,” as Sasha Luccioni, climate lead at an AI firm, said, rather than“create social- media websites filled with rubbish while data centres are still powered by coal- fired generators.”
28. What does the underlined words“this concern” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. The shortage of AI service. B. The unreliability of AI output.
C. The release of heat by AI centers. D. The misuse of energy by AI systems.
29. What do the IEA report and the research paper in paragraph 4 agree on
A. AI can be a net carbon saver. B. AI can be energy- efficient.
C. AI can provide computing power. D. AI can direct electricity distribution.
30. What is the purpose of paragraph 5
A. To put forward an opposite position. B. To offer a more comprehensive view.
C. To add some background information. D. To demonstrate the previous argument.
31. What does Sasha Luccioni argue about AI
A. Its design calls for improvement. B. Its energy use demands restriction.
C. Its application requires wise guidance. D. Its development deserves public support.

Plastic has always been a double-edged sword—— multi-purpose and cheap, but chemically stable.Traditional recycling methods involve multiple stages of sorting, cleaning, and melting (融化), which are energy-intensive and degrade the material's quality. Turning plastic into fuel has been explored before, but existing techniques require high heat, complex catalysts(催化剂), and often produce impure results.
Now, a groundbreaking cooperation between scientists in the US and China has brought the world one step closer to a real solution. Using a specially designed catalytic reaction, researchers found a way to break down long plastic polymer (聚合物) chains into short hydrocarbon molecules—— the building blocks of fuel——in a single step.
The team's secret lies in a novel catalytic material that operates at medium temperatures—— far lower than those used in conventional methods. Unlike traditional recycling, which melts plastic into lower-grade products, this catalyst essentially reduces plastics into usable hydrocarbon chains in just a few hours. The output can then be further processed into fuels for vehicles or even planes. According to Professor Zhang Wei,a chemical engineer from the Chinese partner university, the process transforms 95% of the plastic into usable hydrocarbons, leaving minimal remains and almost no harmful byproducts.
The implications of this breakthrough extend far beyond scientific curiosity. If widely used, the one-step plastic-to-fuel method could dramatically reduce both plastic waste and non-renewable fuel dependence.
Promising as the results are, experts stress that the cost of catalysts, the difficulty of collecting mixed plastic waste, and the issue of carbon emissions from burning fuels are key challenges to be addressed. For this reason, scientists see the innovation not as an end point, but as a temporary fix toward a cleaner future.
While questions remain, this innovation marks a hopeful turn in humanity's long battle with plastic waste.It transforms what was once pollution into power and demonstrates that the solutions to big problems often lie in rethinking waste not as garbage—— but as potential.
32. What is a key advantage of the new method of recycling plastics
A. Low costs. B. Simple processes. C. High security. D. Adjustable reaction.
33. What does the novel catalyst help with
A. Speeding up waste collection. B. Adjusting the operating temperature.
C. Minimizing harmful byproducts. D. Turning plastics into basic chemicals.
34. How do scientists regard the method
A. A dead end. B. A starting point. C. A stepping stone. D. A definite answer.
35. What inspiration does the innovation bring to us
A. New views create possibilities. B. Human effort overcomes challenges.
C. Close teamwork works wonders. D. Tough problems lead to innovations.

All my life I' ve been bad at sports. Last year, I unwillingly joined a football game among friends. 36Instead of running down the clock on the sidelines, I got swept up in the game, rooting for my team to score.
Now, our football game is on every Sunday. I remain the worst on the team, but I keep turning up. I love the exciting sense of challenging myself, with zero expectation of ever being actually skillful. 37

“Amateurish” hasn't always been negative, explains author and activist Karen Walrond.“It comes from the Latin, meaning‘one who loves’.” Her new book In Defense of Dabbling makes the case for“intentional amateurism”: finding an activity we' re drawn to but not necessarily naturally good at, and sticking with it anyway. 38 They include mindfulness, curiosity, self-acceptance, play, challenge, connection, and awe.Focusing on these helps us“let go of perfectionism” and appreciate the experience.
Walrond herself has tried many new activities: swimming, calligraphy, surfing, night photography, and so on. What stuck was pottery. 39 At the wheel, she gets to“shut out the world” and enjoy the fun of free-spirited creation. Being part of an ancient tradition inspires awe, while the community at her studio offers opportunities for connection. In her book, Walrond includes an entire“menu” of activities she still intends to try, inspiring me to steal some for myself. Simply making the attempt enlarges our lives, by encouraging curiosity and taking us beyond our comfort zone.
This weekend, in fact, we' re playing our first proper match against another team. 40 It's great to challenge yourself—— but part of embracing (欣然接受) intentional amateurism, I' ve decided, is also knowing your limits.
A. It's easy for amateurs to pick up.
B. To my great surprise, I enjoyed myself.
C. I'm sitting it out, to cheer from the sidelines.
D. How can we be more skillful at our hobbies
E. Why does it feel so good to be bad at something
F. It meets many of the intentional amateurism criteria.
G. Walrond defines intentional amateurism by seven criteria.

Six years ago, I started taking my own takeaway box when dining outside. I wanted to get my 41worth. I'd also read how over 1 billion tons of food ended up in the landfill (垃圾填埋场) and this was my chance to do something 42 .
Growing up in a family of modest means, 43 food on the plate was unthinkable. Anything left over would be 44 home for the next day's lunch or repurposed into a new dish. However, if I was out with friends, it was a 45 story. Maybe I didn't want to draw attention to myself by breaking conventions in social settings.
Now, my little box goes everywhere with me. I' ve 46 the embarrassment of saying I'd like to take the food home in my own box. It's a conversation 47 ; sometimes diners at neighbouring tables become48 and we start chatting.
My friend Lorna always laughs when I 49 my bag at the end of a meal. Other friends are starting to bring their own box to 50 , inspired by mine. We' re even 51 pictures and tips about what to do with the food in our group chat.
For me, this 52 isn't just about valuing what's on our plate but also 53 it's OK to be different in social environments. It makes me 54 that my friends and I are creating our own mini movement,55 food waste one box at a time.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The 2026 New Year address highlights a key cultural change: tradition is now embracing modernity,helping Chinese culture shine with even 56 (great) splendor. In fact, tradition is no longer limited to museums or textbooks. It is being actively worn, lived and celebrated, particularly by the younger generation.
In any Chinese city, the streets reveal the phenomenon. Young people walk in flowing hanfu from ancient dynasties, 57 (modernize) qipao, or colorful clothing reflecting ethnic minority(少数民族) traditions.They are also deeply engaged in understanding these traditions, 58 (debate) design styles, decorative details and their historical accuracy on social media. 59 may appear as fashion passion is, in fact,grassroots cultural research, with enthusiasts acting as both students and teachers of their heritage.
Perhaps most striking is the 60 (globe) reach of China chic(国潮). Videos featuring traditionalChinese costumes 61 (trend) on international social platforms; foreign visitors to China are listing“trying on traditional clothing” as 62 must-do cultural experience; overseas Chinese communities are embracing traditional dress at public events, 63 (proud) showcasing their cultural connection.
This phenomenon demonstrates that culture can be rooted and open, confident and engaging. Young people walking city streets in clothes inspired by 64 (century) past are not looking backward —— they are bringing tradition into the present, creating a living dialogue 65 history, a personal expression of identity, and a playful yet meaningful way to engage with China's cultural heritage.

阅读下面材料，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。
“Package!” a man called to me through the window, placing a box on the doorstep. I jumped and nearly slid out of my chair and under the dining room table, but it was too late. He’ d already seen me. I forced a smile and thanked him as he turned away.
Growing up, I lived in the last house on a dead-end street. Neighbors hardly passed by, let alone strangers.In college,I was blessed with the best roommates one could ever expect. They let me hide behind them when we were around other people.
In the subsequent years, I kept working around my anxiety about crowds and people by waiting them out.If I saw someone at the spot I was going to,I'd hang back at a distance until they were done.
After my husband and I bought our own house,I'd hang my head over the balcony(阳台) railing to see if anyone was outside. For an introvert(内向者) like me, this was the most convenient way to minimize the chance of encountering a stranger.
Nevertheless, I didn't shut out the world entirely. Like many introverts, I love books. I could connect with all sorts of characters and find endless joy in exploring their worlds. Thus, once we had a house, I couldn't wait to build a Little Free Library.
“You do realize that means people will be coming to the yard, right ” my husband asked.
I tried not to think about that part through the preparations and finally launched my dream library. Iwould sit at my desk at the corner, knowing all sorts of folks from the neighborhood were coming for a book or two and pretending they weren't there.
Every day before closing time, I would check the Library and see what books the visitors had taken and take delight in their choices. It was a way of bonding with fellow book lovers from a safe distance.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Unexpectedly, that distance grew shorter as time went by. The interactions with these friendly and curious visitors truly changed me.

第四部分写作
第一节 One possible version:
Titled“The Last Runner, the First Soul”, this photo captures my classmate Eliza, who was left behind yet determined, finishing her 1,500-meter race last October.
While others had crossed the line, her steady steps and determined eyes, cheered by classmates along the track, showed beauty through my lens: true courage lies not in winning, but in pushing one's limits despite the difficulties.
This moment, frozen in time, reminds me that the greatest beauty often shines from the heart of perseverance.
第二节 One possible version:
Unexpectedly, that distance grew shorter as time went by. One day, a little girl approached with a children's book that she had borrowed and asked if there were more of the same series.This turned out to be a conversation starter. I told her there would be more and then we moved on to discussing the characters and plots in the book. Another time, an elderly lady brought me a desktop plant, a gesture of appreciation for my effort in running the small reading space. As weeks and months went by, I got more involved with those like-minded neighbors, who kept coming back for new books and sharing opinions.
The interactions with these friendly and curious visitors truly changed me. Without being aware of it, I became less awkward and uncomfortable in the presence of those neighbors. Our interactions also expanded from casual conversations around books to small talk on diverse topics and exchanges of little gifts. Moreover, strangers no longer held terror for me. I was able to walk to the delivery man, look into his eyes, and say“Thank you.” My anxiety about crowds and people began to ease by the day— all because of one simple move to step out of my comfort zone by creating a communal space for book enthusiasts.

Hi everyone, welcome back, and thanks for listening to Learning That Lasts. If you' re studying for an exam right now, today's episode is for you. Today, I want to introduce a simple idea that can make studying more effective: active recall.
Many students spend hours rereading notes or highlighting textbooks. It feels productive because the material starts to look familiar. But familiarity is not the same as mastery. Just because you recognize the words on a page doesn't mean you can pull that information out of your brain during a high-pressure test.
Active recall takes a different approach. Instead of passively looking at your notes, you force yourself to answer questions from memory. This process is difficult, and sometimes frustrating,but that mental struggle is exactly how your brain builds stronger connections.
Here's a practical method: after class, write five questions based on what you learned. The next day, answer them from memory. If you get stuck, check your notes briefly, then try again.
Remember, don't wait until the night before the exam. Short review sessions spread over several days are far more powerful than one long session.
