Duration 1 week, 2-4 hours
Language English
Earn a certificate (extra fee) Advance your career
What you’ll learn
Part 1
In this part, we walk through the history of sustainable development.
Part 2
The next step is to create Sustainable Development Plans at the country level. These strategies are essentially
backcasting exercises that use the SDGs as an end point from which to plan backwards to the current day and that
carefully contextualize the SDGs for the country in question.
Part 3
The achievement of the SDGs depends heavily on the application of innovative and modern thinking and
technologies. This is particularly critical for challenges such as the decarbonization of the economy to reduce the
effects of climate change.
Part 4
Global cooperation is critical to achieve the SDGs. In particular, cities have a critical role in pioneering
Sustainable Development planning in collectively contributing to the ambition of sustainable development.
Part 5
The SDGs are not an agenda for policy makers alone. The world’s economic activity, knowledge generation,
and investment are mostly driven by an efficient private sector (部门).And while you cannot have a strong private
第 3页/共 23页
sector without an effective and structured public sector, businesses must make contributions to sustainable
development.
Part 6

Development Agenda and share a core responsibility in advancing the agenda in their respective countries.

In his studio, Sam Winston is experimenting with inks out of tobacco from Marlboro cigarettes, the juice of
Belarusian chokeberries and a strange hybrid of eyeliner.
The colored substances are used to create words on giant flags that will soon hang from the ceiling of London’
s Barbican Centre during Voiced, Britain’s first arts festival celebrating minority and endangered languages —
connecting five poets’ native languages with materials from their native landscapes. Quebec-born writer Norma
Dunning’s flag will bear the word C’s b, or “veins” in Canadian syllabics (音节), made out of wild blueberries
from her hometown.
Winston has been playing with language in his art for many years, including using Egyptian hieroglyphs (象形
文字) in his picture book One and Everything. Winston acknowledges the sense of urgency and loss — every two
weeks, another language falls silent and by the end of this century, half of the world’s 7,000 languages are expected
to become extinct.
Winston grew up in Devon, Wales and Yorkshire as a dyslexic (有阅读障碍的) boy. “My experience of not
being able to communicate what’s important to me, even in English, made me sympathetic to a situation where
Hawad, one of the five poets, a Tamajaght-speaking artist from the Air region of Niger, cannot share his language
and his culture in a way that is supported by anyone beyond this small community. That made me realize that it’s
really important to create spaces and say these voices matter.”
Some still favor the prospect of a single universal language. Not Winston. “If we only have one paintbrush to
paint with, and only one color to paint in, that, from an artistic perspective, is a disaster,” Winston says. “Language
is an expression of being human, and that’s at the core of the festival. You can turn up and learn about a lot of
diverse cultures.”
4. Why is Winston experimenting with inks
A. To promote produce from his hometown.
B. To learn five famous poets’ native languages.
C. To write his picture book One and Everything.
D. To prepare for a language-themed arts festival.
5. What is stressed in paragraph 3
A. Language crises. B. Language accessibility.
C. Causes of language barriers. D. Popular language types.
6. What enabled Winston to understand Hawad’s situation
A. His excellence in English. B. His childhood experience.
C. His capability to write poems. D. His memory of living in Niger.
7. Which statement does Winston agree with according to the last paragraph
A. Artists should stick to traditional tools. B. A single universal language is necessary.
C. Human language should feature diversity. D. Artworks are more expressive than language.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
C
One of the major environmental issues throughout the world is the ever-growing landfills, but the city of
Petaluma in California has done its part. Instead of banning disposable (一次性的) drink cups, the city provided
reusable cups to the businesses to give to the customers and the customers would put their used cups in special bins
that are spread throughout the city. The cups would be collected from the bins, washed, and given back to the
businesses again.
Americans throw out 16 billion paper cups and 25 billion Styrofoam (聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料) cups per year.
Considering that 6.5 million trees are cut just for paper cups annually, and that plastic takes about 500 years to
break down, finding a viable alternative to disposable cups can make a significant difference in environmental
impact.
According to the researchers’ report, more than 80% of Petaluma’s residents were aware of the cup project
and knew what to do. In fact, more than 51% of the cups were returned and not thrown into the trash.
The project was welcomed by citizens as they didn’t need to sign up for it or pay any deposit (押金), and
weren’t punished for non-participation. This is promising considering that other environmental measures in other
cities, such as public bike-sharing programs, are often abused or subject to theft at taxpayer expense. It would be
easy to store cups or to just throw them out with the rest of their trash. It is also beneficial for local restaurants,
cafes, and ice cream shops to participate as they would purchase fewer disposable cups, significantly reducing costs.
While the experiment is over, the results are so positive that the city and their partners intend on launching a
permanent campaign with enthusiastic support from most of the local businesses. This situation shows that there are
solutions that can improve the lives of the community, the consumers, and even the businesses should folks come
together to think and approach new ideas with curiosity, enthusiasm, and trust.
8. How did Petaluma try to reduce landfills
A. By charging consumers for using cups. B. By limiting the expansion of businesses.
C. By encouraging the use of reusable cups. D. By issuing a ban on disposable cups.
9. What does the data in paragraph 2 mainly show
A. More trees should be planted in the future.
B. Americans prefer paper cups to plastic ones.
C. Disposable cups do harm to the environment.
D. It takes a long time for paper cups to break down.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Joint efforts to carry out the project. B. Why the project was widely supported.
C How the project benefited local residents. D. Financial challenges brought by the project.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Petaluma’s project
A. Positive. B. Cautious. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A
D
Technology has reshaped our world in ways unimaginable just a few decades ago. We have seen amazing
breakthroughs in areas like medicine, communication, and artificial intelligence (AI). But this power has come with
its own set of risks and moral challenges.
One of the most pressing ethical (伦 理 上 的 ) concerns in the modern age is the rise of AI, which has
permeated (渗 透 ) almost every industry, from healthcare to finance, to self-driving cars. It promises to
revolutionize the world in ways that could benefit humanity — from curing diseases to solving complex global
problems. But alongside these possibilities, AI also brings significant risks, many of which have ethical
implications.
One primary concern with AI is the question of decision-making. As AI systems become more advanced, they
are increasingly entrusted with making decisions that impact human lives. For example, AI is used in autonomous
vehicles, which are expected to make split-second decisions in emergency situations. If an accident is unavoidable,
should the AI prioritize the safety of its passengers, pedestrians (行人), or the greater good These are questions
with no easy answers, as they raise issues of morality, accountability, and fairness.
Besides, there are concerns about AI’s potential to replace human labor. Automation powered by AI could
lead to mass unemployment and deepen societal inequalities. While automation promises to make processes more
efficient and reduce costs, it raises an ethical question of whether it is just to allow machines to replace human
workers, particularly in industries where jobs are already not enough.
The most chilling ethical issue surrounding AI is the possibility of creating systems that can act with complete
autonomy, without human intervention. Some argue that this could lead to the creation of “superintelligent” AI that
could surpass human intelligence, potentially posing an existential threat to humanity.
While technological advancement is essential for progress, it must not come at the expense of human values
and ethical principles. Governments, corporations, and individuals all have roles to play in ensuring that technology
is developed and employed in an ethical manner.
12. How does the author show the concern with AI in paragraph 3
A. By listing an example. B. By quoting AI experts.
C. By making comparisons. D. By referring to historical data.
13. Why is AI-powered automation worrying
A. It makes processes complex. B. It may threaten people’s jobs.
C. It blocks industries’ innovation. D. It creates a less competitive society.
14. What does the underlined word “chilling” mean in paragraph 5
A. Amusing. B. Simplified. C. Unknown. D. Frightening.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To provide solutions to problems caused by AI.
B. To show how AI affects our daily life in a positive way.
C. To remind us to slow down the development of technology.
D. To warn us of moral concerns with technological advancement.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D
第二节(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。
Frank Williams Jr. and Jim Isenberg launched a volunteer organization that connects elderly people with
children in need of mentorship (指导). Williams says the organization has benefited the children a lot. ____16____.
A 2025 study published in the journal Social Science & Medicine found that giving back as volunteers can bring
many benefits to elderly people.
It reduces their stress levels.
Richard Leider, author of three bestsellers centered on finding purpose, says many individuals — particularly
the elderly — suffer stress because they’re afraid their life has not had enough meaning. “When people feel like
they’re growing and giving for life, it reduces that anxiety,” says Leider. “____17____.”
It enables them to sleep better.

a moderate (适度的) amount of volunteer work may be enough to slow the aging process at the biological level,
allowing for more years of living a healthier and more active lifestyle.
____20____.
Volunteering provides opportunities to learn skills that can be used in many ways. Alexia Savage, United Way’
s senior vice president of U.S. network engagement, says her organization and others train volunteers to perform
various helpful tasks. Leider says learning is fundamental to aging well. “Curiosity is what really fuels purpose,” he
says. “If you’re not curious about yourself and about the world, you’re not growing and you’re not aging well.”
A. It is a learning experience
B. It is likely to unlock their imagination
C. Volunteering can’t stop the aging process
D. Actually, it’s equally rewarding for the volunteers
E. Mattering matters and volunteering helps them matter

47. 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。
Darcy and Laura Clarke run Bentley’s Burgers and Fries in West Chezzetcook, Nova Scotia, Canada. One
afternoon in early December, Darcy answered a phone call from a man named Robert Miller, who spoke with a
southern accent. Robert ordered two cheeseburgers and fries, promising to pick up the food within an hour.
Darcy prepared the food with care and wrapped it neatly. Then he waited for Robert to collect the food. The
minutes ticked by and then an hour passed, but Robert never arrived. Eventually, the Clarkes gave the food to a
regular customer for free who had just walked in and moved on with their day. By the end of the day, Robert still
didn’t show up. The Clarkes assumed that Robert was simply a tourist who had changed his plan — a common
occurrence in their coastal town.
What the couple didn’t know was Robert’s side of the story. Back in Alabama, USA, Robert had realized his
mistake too late: He had searched for “Bentley’s” online and called the first number he saw, not realizing it
belonged to a small Canadian seaside town thousands of kilometers away, rather than the diner near his home.
Embarrassed and frustrated (沮丧) with his own error, he spent the day restlessly, unsure how to make things right.
He felt responsible for wasting the restaurant owners’ food and time. Finally, instead of making another call to just
apologize, Robert decided to deal with the incident in a heart-warming way.
Days went by. The Clarkes continued their daily routine in their restaurant, serving regulars and answering
phone calls from tourists coming to this town. Robert’s forgotten order had slipped entirely from their minds,
buried under the rhythm of frying potatoes and grilling burgers.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

【答案】One possible version:
However, one morning, as Laura sorted through the mail, a handwritten envelope stood out. Postmarked from
Alabama, it felt oddly personal. Laura opened it carefully and found a handwritten letter and $40 in U.S. cash.
Laura asked Darcy to come over and read the letter together. “Obviously, I called the wrong restaurant,” the letter
said, “I hope the amount enclosed is enough to cover the cost of my embarrassing mistake. My sincerest apologies.
God bless. Robert Miller from Alabama.” Actually, not only did the money cover the meal, it even left a little extra.
Touched by Robert’s integrity and kindness, the Clarkes decided to respond in a similar way. Darcy
immediately began assembling a thank-you package. It included a heartfelt card, several bottles of their signature
burger seasoning, and a handwritten note inviting Robert to visit if he ever came to Nova Scotia. Laura even added
a gift certificate for a free meal. They mailed the package to the return address that day, hoping that it would
convey their gratitude. More importantly, they hoped it could serve as a reminder that kindness has a way of
finding its way back.2026 年全国高考冲刺压轴卷(一)

What you’ll learn
Part 1
In this part, we walk through the history of sustainable development.
Part 2
The next step is to create Sustainable Development Plans at the country level. These strategies are essentially
backcasting exercises that use the SDGs as an end point from which to plan backwards to the current day and that
carefully contextualize the SDGs for the country in question.
Part 3
The achievement of the SDGs depends heavily on the application of innovative and modern thinking and
technologies. This is particularly critical for challenges such as the decarbonization of the economy to reduce the
effects of climate change.
Part 4
Global cooperation is critical to achieve the SDGs. In particular, cities have a critical role in pioneering
Sustainable Development planning in collectively contributing to the ambition of sustainable development.
Part 5
The SDGs are not an agenda for policy makers alone. The world’s economic activity, knowledge generation,
and investment are mostly driven by an efficient private sector (部门).And while you cannot have a strong private

sector without an effective and structured public sector, businesses must make contributions to sustainable
development.
Part 6
Universities around the world, which serve as centers of innovation, are fundamental to the Sustainable
Development Agenda and share a core responsibility in advancing the agenda in their respective countries.

In his studio, Sam Winston is experimenting with inks out of tobacco from Marlboro cigarettes, the juice of
Belarusian chokeberries and a strange hybrid of eyeliner.
The colored substances are used to create words on giant flags that will soon hang from the ceiling of London’
s Barbican Centre during Voiced, Britain’s first arts festival celebrating minority and endangered languages —
connecting five poets’ native languages with materials from their native landscapes. Quebec-born writer Norma
Dunning’s flag will bear the word C’s b, or “veins” in Canadian syllabics (音节), made out of wild blueberries
from her hometown.
Winston has been playing with language in his art for many years, including using Egyptian hieroglyphs (象形
文字) in his picture book One and Everything. Winston acknowledges the sense of urgency and loss — every two
weeks, another language falls silent and by the end of this century, half of the world’s 7,000 languages are expected
to become extinct.
Winston grew up in Devon, Wales and Yorkshire as a dyslexic (有阅读障碍的) boy. “My experience of not
being able to communicate what’s important to me, even in English, made me sympathetic to a situation where
Hawad, one of the five poets, a Tamajaght-speaking artist from the Air region of Niger, cannot share his language
and his culture in a way that is supported by anyone beyond this small community. That made me realize that it’s
really important to create spaces and say these voices matter.”
Some still favor the prospect of a single universal language. Not Winston. “If we only have one paintbrush to
paint with, and only one color to paint in, that, from an artistic perspective, is a disaster,” Winston says. “Language
is an expression of being human, and that’s at the core of the festival. You can turn up and learn about a lot of
diverse cultures.”
4. Why is Winston experimenting with inks
A. To promote produce from his hometown.
B. To learn five famous poets’ native languages.
C. To write his picture book One and Everything.
D. To prepare for a language-themed arts festival.
5. What is stressed in paragraph 3
A. Language crises. B. Language accessibility.
C. Causes of language barriers. D. Popular language types.
6. What enabled Winston to understand Hawad’s situation
A. His excellence in English. B. His childhood experience.
C. His capability to write poems. D. His memory of living in Niger.
7. Which statement does Winston agree with according to the last paragraph
A. Artists should stick to traditional tools. B. A single universal language is necessary.
C. Human language should feature diversity. D. Artworks are more expressive than language.
C
One of the major environmental issues throughout the world is the ever-growing landfills, but the city of
Petaluma in California has done its part. Instead of banning disposable (一次性的) drink cups, the city provided
reusable cups to the businesses to give to the customers and the customers would put their used cups in special bins
that are spread throughout the city. The cups would be collected from the bins, washed, and given back to the
businesses again.
Americans throw out 16 billion paper cups and 25 billion Styrofoam (聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料) cups per year.
Considering that 6.5 million trees are cut just for paper cups annually, and that plastic takes about 500 years to
break down, finding a viable alternative to disposable cups can make a significant difference in environmental
impact.
According to the researchers’ report, more than 80% of Petaluma’s residents were aware of the cup project
and knew what to do. In fact, more than 51% of the cups were returned and not thrown into the trash.
The project was welcomed by citizens as they didn’t need to sign up for it or pay any deposit (押金), and
weren’t punished for non-participation. This is promising considering that other environmental measures in other
cities, such as public bike-sharing programs, are often abused or subject to theft at taxpayer expense. It would be
easy to store cups or to just throw them out with the rest of their trash. It is also beneficial for local restaurants,
cafes, and ice cream shops to participate as they would purchase fewer disposable cups, significantly reducing costs.
While the experiment is over, the results are so positive that the city and their partners intend on launching a
permanent campaign with enthusiastic support from most of the local businesses. This situation shows that there are
solutions that can improve the lives of the community, the consumers, and even the businesses should folks come
together to think and approach new ideas with curiosity, enthusiasm, and trust.
8. How did Petaluma try to reduce landfills
A. By charging consumers for using cups. B. By limiting the expansion of businesses.
C. By encouraging the use of reusable cups. D. By issuing a ban on disposable cups.
9. What does the data in paragraph 2 mainly show
A. More trees should be planted in the future.
B. Americans prefer paper cups to plastic ones.
C. Disposable cups do harm to the environment.
D. It takes a long time for paper cups to break down.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Joint efforts to carry out the project. B. Why the project was widely supported.
C How the project benefited local residents. D. Financial challenges brought by the project.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Petaluma’s project
A. Positive. B. Cautious. C. Unclear. D. Doubtful.
D
Technology has reshaped our world in ways unimaginable just a few decades ago. We have seen amazing
breakthroughs in areas like medicine, communication, and artificial intelligence (AI). But this power has come with
its own set of risks and moral challenges.
One of the most pressing ethical (伦 理 上 的 ) concerns in the modern age is the rise of AI, which has
permeated (渗 透 ) almost every industry, from healthcare to finance, to self-driving cars. It promises to
revolutionize the world in ways that could benefit humanity — from curing diseases to solving complex global
problems. But alongside these possibilities, AI also brings significant risks, many of which have ethical
implications.
One primary concern with AI is the question of decision-making. As AI systems become more advanced, they
are increasingly entrusted with making decisions that impact human lives. For example, AI is used in autonomous
vehicles, which are expected to make split-second decisions in emergency situations. If an accident is unavoidable,
should the AI prioritize the safety of its passengers, pedestrians (行人), or the greater good These are questions
with no easy answers, as they raise issues of morality, accountability, and fairness.
Besides, there are concerns about AI’s potential to replace human labor. Automation powered by AI could
lead to mass unemployment and deepen societal inequalities. While automation promises to make processes more
efficient and reduce costs, it raises an ethical question of whether it is just to allow machines to replace human
workers, particularly in industries where jobs are already not enough.
The most chilling ethical issue surrounding AI is the possibility of creating systems that can act with complete
autonomy, without human intervention. Some argue that this could lead to the creation of “superintelligent” AI that
could surpass human intelligence, potentially posing an existential threat to humanity.
While technological advancement is essential for progress, it must not come at the expense of human values
and ethical principles. Governments, corporations, and individuals all have roles to play in ensuring that technology
is developed and employed in an ethical manner.
12. How does the author show the concern with AI in paragraph 3
A. By listing an example. B. By quoting AI experts.
C. By making comparisons. D. By referring to historical data.
13. Why is AI-powered automation worrying
A. It makes processes complex. B. It may threaten people’s jobs.
C. It blocks industries’ innovation. D. It creates a less competitive society.
14. What does the underlined word “chilling” mean in paragraph 5
A. Amusing. B. Simplified. C. Unknown. D. Frightening.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To provide solutions to problems caused by AI.
B. To show how AI affects our daily life in a positive way.
C. To remind us to slow down the development of technology.
D. To warn us of moral concerns with technological advancement.

47. 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。
Darcy and Laura Clarke run Bentley’s Burgers and Fries in West Chezzetcook, Nova Scotia, Canada. One
afternoon in early December, Darcy answered a phone call from a man named Robert Miller, who spoke with a
southern accent. Robert ordered two cheeseburgers and fries, promising to pick up the food within an hour.
Darcy prepared the food with care and wrapped it neatly. Then he waited for Robert to collect the food. The
minutes ticked by and then an hour passed, but Robert never arrived. Eventually, the Clarkes gave the food to a
regular customer for free who had just walked in and moved on with their day. By the end of the day, Robert still
didn’t show up. The Clarkes assumed that Robert was simply a tourist who had changed his plan — a common
occurrence in their coastal town.
What the couple didn’t know was Robert’s side of the story. Back in Alabama, USA, Robert had realized his
mistake too late: He had searched for “Bentley’s” online and called the first number he saw, not realizing it
belonged to a small Canadian seaside town thousands of kilometers away, rather than the diner near his home.
Embarrassed and frustrated (沮丧) with his own error, he spent the day restlessly, unsure how to make things right.
He felt responsible for wasting the restaurant owners’ food and time. Finally, instead of making another call to just
apologize, Robert decided to deal with the incident in a heart-warming way.
Days went by. The Clarkes continued their daily routine in their restaurant, serving regulars and answering
phone calls from tourists coming to this town. Robert’s forgotten order had slipped entirely from their minds,
buried under the rhythm of frying potatoes and grilling burgers.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
However, one morning, as Laura sorted through the mail, a handwritten envelope stood out.
