Passage 1
河北衡水中学2025-26届高三年级检测（七）
When our family was on long car trips, my kids sat forward in their seats, eyes moving quickly across billboards. “I found an A” my daughter shouted, her voice full of excitement. Thus began our alphabet (字母) game — a tradition I loved as a child, now bringing joy to a new generation. What always amazed me was how, once we fixed our attention on a letter, it seemed to show up everywhere: a “B” on a bakery sign, a “C” on a coffee ad. I’d worry we’d never spot a Q or X, but sure enough, they’d appear, making the kids cheer like we’d won a prize.
This little phenomenon hit me harder while I struggled to write a book for Angelico Press. For days, I stared at my screen, the cursor (光标) shining with nothing there, as I fought to find fresh, poetic words for “nature’s beauty.” Every phrase felt boring — too common, too forced. I’d delete paragraphs when I felt upset, wondering if I’d ever catch that quiet magic of the outdoors, the kind that makes you feel amazed. It wasn’t for lack of trying; I read poetry collections, took dawn walks, but inspiration just wouldn’t stick.
Then one afternoon, as the kids talked excitedly from the back seat about spotting a “Y” on a farm sign, it clicked. I’d been waiting for inspiration to find me, not going out to find it. What if I approached writing like their game I started hunting for metaphors (隐喻) in daily life — and soon, they were everywhere: a garden rose became “sunlight wrapped in silk,” rain on my window “the sky’s soft whisper.”
Just as Mentalist Oz Pearlman says, “we find what we seek.” Whether it’s a letter on a billboard, a meaningful image, or even joy in small moments, focus turns the invisible into the visible. It’s a reminder to choose what we look for wisely — because what we notice shapes the world we see.
4. What was the author’s initial concern about the game
A. The children would soon get bored.
B. Some letters might be too hard to find.
C. The children would fight over the letters.
D. They might run out of billboards to search.
5. Why did the author delete paragraphs when writing
A. She lacked writing materials.
B. She wanted to copy poetry styles.
C. She thought her writing was too long.
D. She couldn’t find creative expressions.
6. What made the author get inspiration for writing
A. The poetry collections she read.
B. The way to play the alphabet game.
C. The idea of taking a family car ride.
D. The poetic sentences she created.
7. What can we learn from the author’s experience
A. Treasures lie in distant places.
B. Inspiration comes from reading.
C. Focus helps discover life’s beauty.
D. Success depends on the right moment.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者从字母游戏中获得启发，找到写作灵感的经历与感悟。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I’d worry we’d never spot a Q or X, but sure enough, they’d appear, making the kids cheer like we’d won a prize. (我会担心我们永远找不到字母Q或X，但它们肯定会出现，让孩子们欢呼雀跃，就像我们赢得了奖品一样)”可知，作者最初担心有些字母可能很难被找到。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For days, I stared at my screen, the cursor (光标) shining with nothing there, as I fought to find fresh, poetic words for “nature’s beauty.” Every phrase felt boring — too common, too forced. I’d delete paragraphs when I felt upset (几天来，我盯着屏幕，光标闪着光，屏幕上却一片空白，我努力为“自然之美”寻找新颖而富有诗意的词汇。每个短语都显得乏味——太过平庸，太过刻意。我心烦的时候就会删掉段落)”可知，作者删除段落是因为找不到有创意的表达。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then one afternoon, as the kids talked excitedly from the back seat about spotting a “Y” on a farm sign, it clicked. I’d been waiting for inspiration to find me, not going out to find it. What if I approached writing like their game (后来有一天下午，孩子们在后座兴奋地谈论着在农场标志牌上发现了字母Y，我突然恍然大悟。我一直在等着灵感来找我，而不是主动去寻找它。如果我像玩他们的游戏一样去写作会怎么样呢)”可知，是玩字母游戏的方式让作者获得了写作灵感。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Just as Mentalist Oz Pearlman says, “we find what we seek.” Whether it’s a letter on a billboard, a meaningful image, or even joy in small moments, focus turns the invisible into the visible. (正如心灵魔术师奥兹 珀尔曼所说：“我们会找到我们所追寻的东西。”无论是广告牌上的一个字母、一幅有意义的图像，甚至是微小瞬间里的喜悦，专注都能将无形的事物变得有形可见)” 可知，我们能从作者的经历中领悟到专注有助于发现生活中的美好。故选C项。
Passage2
吉林省松原市实验高级中学2025-2026学年高三下学期学情调研
Several years ago, on a bitterly cold February day that felt particularly hopeless, I wandered the winding streets of an unnamed small town in Vermont, seeking a quiet corner to reach a clear decision that had been weighing on my mind for weeks: whether I should leave my teaching job — a position that offered security but felt more and more empty — and pursue something, anything, that might bring me a sense of true fulfillment (成就), for I was supposed to help shape young minds yet often felt no more than a paper-grader and a silent observer of empty classrooms.
I took shelter from the cold in a local diner and noticed an old man, who I later learned was Orin, sitting alone with a pie before him, staring out at the gray sky; after a while, he stood up, walked to a tired young waitress named Clara who was clearing a nearby table, took a napkin, smoothed it flat, drew a sunflower with a pencil, and handed it to her — an act that made her tired face light up with a warm smile as she thanked him softly.
Curious, I asked Clara about him. She explained Orin had lost his wife the year before and withdrawn into silence after their small farm lost its warmth, yet still came to the diner every few days to give others such small drawings — delicate sketches (速写) showing a skill far beyond a casual hobby. I suddenly understood: I had sought fulfillment as if it were far-off, but Orin, who had every reason to withdraw, chose to reach out. His small act taught me that fulfillment comes not from the job itself, but from the bonds we build through it.
When I returned to the city, I did not resign, for I finally knew that a kind word to a struggling student or a moment of patience with a difficult class was the very meaning I’d been searching for.
24. Why did the author wander the Vermont town
A. To escape the cold weather. B. To take a vacation there.
C. To make a career choice. D. To enjoy a quiet atmosphere.
25. What was the immediate effect of Orin’s drawing for Clara
A. It brightened her day. B. It displayed his artistic skills.
C. It attracted more customers. D. It reminded her of his fulfillment.
26. What can be learned about Orin from paragraph 3
A. He considered drawing as his hobby. B. He seemed silent but warm-hearted.
C. He hoped to withdraw from the diner. D. He quit farming for his artistic dream.
27. What message does the text convey
A. Job change brings personal satisfaction. B. Quiet places offer solutions to problems.
C. Love for art is a cure for deep sadness. D. Value in work lies in human connections.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者因对教学工作感到迷茫，前往小镇寻找答案，目睹老人Orin的温暖举动后，领悟到工作的价值在于人与人之间的联结。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Several years ago, on a bitterly cold February day that felt particularly hopeless, I wandered the winding streets of an unnamed small town in Vermont, seeking a quiet corner to reach a clear decision that had been weighing on my mind for weeks: whether I should leave my teaching job — a position that offered security but felt more and more empty — and pursue something, anything, that might bring me a sense of true fulfillment (成就), for I was supposed to help shape young minds yet often felt no more than a paper-grader and a silent observer of empty classrooms. (几年前，在二月一个天寒地冻、格外令人绝望的日子里，我漫步在美国佛蒙特州一座无名小镇蜿蜒的街道上，想找一处安静的角落，好做出一个在我心头压了数周的明确抉择：我是否该辞去这份教师工作——这份安稳却让我感到日渐空虚的职业——转而追寻某件、哪怕是任何一件能给我带来真正成就感的事。因为我本应助力塑造年轻人的思想，可常常觉得自己不过是个批改作业的机器，以及空荡荡教室里的一名沉默旁观者。)”可知，作者漫步街头的核心目的是为自己的职业做出选择，决定是否辞去教师工作。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I took shelter from the cold in a local diner and noticed an old man, who I later learned was Orin, sitting alone with a pie before him, staring out at the gray sky; after a while, he stood up, walked to a tired young waitress named Clara who was clearing a nearby table, took a napkin, smoothed it flat, drew a sunflower with a pencil, and handed it to her — an act that made her tired face light up with a warm smile as she thanked him softly. (我躲进当地一家小餐馆避寒，注意到一位老人独自坐着，面前放着一块馅饼，正凝望着灰蒙蒙的天空。后来我才得知他名叫奥林。过了一会儿，他站起身，走向正在附近收拾桌子、一脸疲惫的年轻女服务员克拉拉。他拿起一张餐巾纸，把它展平，用铅笔画了一朵向日葵，然后递给了她。这个举动让她疲惫的脸上绽放出温暖的笑容，她轻声向他道谢。)”可知，Orin的画作直接让Clara疲惫的神情变得愉悦，点亮了她的心情。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“She explained Orin had lost his wife the year before and withdrawn into silence after their small farm lost its warmth, yet still came to the diner every few days to give others such small drawings — delicate sketches (速写) showing a skill far beyond a casual hobby. (她解释说，Orin去年失去了妻子，他们的小农场失去温暖后，他便陷入沉默，但仍每隔几天就来餐厅给别人送这样的小画——这些精致的速写所展现的技艺远非业余爱好可比。)”可知，Orin在遭遇丧妻之灾后变得沉默，却仍坚持用画画传递善意，说明他外表沉默、内心善良热心。故选B项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“His small act taught me that fulfillment comes not from the job itself, but from the bonds we build through it.(他的小小举动让我明白，成就感并非来自工作本身，而是来自我们通过工作建立的情感联结。)”以及第四段作者最终没有辞职，而是选择在教学中通过关爱学生寻找意义可知，文章核心主旨是工作的价值存在于人与人之间的情感联系之中。故选D项。
Passage3
杭州学军中学2026首考适应性考试
For years, as an art influencer, I lived online, documenting all aspects of my life and desiring more followers on Instagram. A constant panic over lost connections the emptiness of endless scrolling, and a nearly missed car accident left me feeling drained. Overwhelmed, I deactivated my account and bought an old Nokia. Then, everything changed.
Only after giving up my smartphone did I realize how distracted and anxious I had become. Withdrawal was difficult, but as months passed, subtle changes accumulated. When the Internet wasn’t immediately accessible, the urge to use it faded away, and parts of me that had been buried under years of digital noise surfaced. Without endless scrolling, hours have returned to me. I can use the otherwise screen time to be healthy or productive, but I can also use it to appreciate the lost art of idleness. I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano. I don’t believe it is possible to waste time when I am fully present.
Staying in touch has proved easier than expected. My dumbphone still allows calls and texts, and most online — messaging tools are available on my computer. It turns out that the only people I really need to contact on the go are those I am working with. What time will you be there or I’m running late — that’s urgent information. Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination.
It has been years since I downgraded. I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time I was hardly even there.
4. What led the author to deactivate his Instagram account
A. A loss of connections.
B. A sense of personal burnout.
C. A near miss of an accident.
D. A decline of online followers.
5. Which best describes the author’s life in paragraph 2
A. Absorbed in new hobbies.
B. Stuck in digital withdrawal.
C. Focused on quality moments.
D. Built on health and productivity.
6. What does the author realize after shifting to the dumbphone
A. He has to rely on computers.
B. Real-time contact is much needed.
C. Close relationships are hard to maintain.
D. The sense of urgency is overemphasized.
7. What does the author’s experience show
A. Stopping scrolling, restoring health.
B. Quitting Instagram, embracing possibility.
C. Downgrading devices, upgrading presence.
D. Dropping smartphone, recognizing urgency.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者曾因沉迷Instagram而焦虑疲惫，于是停用账号，使用老式手机。他发现摆脱数字干扰后，生活更有条理，能享受闲暇时光，并重新发现生活的乐趣。作者感悟到，减少屏幕使用、提升专注度是改善生活质量的关键。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A constant panic over lost connections, the emptiness of endless scrolling, and a nearly missed car accident left me feeling drained. Overwhelmed, I deactivated my account and bought an old Nokia.(对失去联系的持续恐慌、无休止的滚动带来的空虚感，以及险些遭遇的车祸，都让我感到筋疲力尽。不堪重负，我停用了我的账户，买了一部老诺基亚手机。)”可知，作者因为感到个人疲惫不堪，包括对失去联系的恐慌、无休止刷屏的空虚感以及差点发生车祸的经历，所以决定停用Instagram账号。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Without endless scrolling, hours have returned to me. I can use the otherwise screen time to be healthy or productive, but I can also use it to appreciate the lost art of idleness. I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano.(没有了无休止的滚动，时间又回到了我身边。我可以利用原本用于刷屏的时间来保持健康或提高效率，但我也可以用它来欣赏已经失传的闲暇艺术。我一天中的大部分时间都花在翻阅杂志、喝茶、笨拙地弹钢琴上。)”可知，作者现在的生活更注重质量时刻，比如翻阅杂志、喝茶、弹钢琴等，享受闲暇时光，而不是被数字设备所占据。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination.(一些互动，比如群聊、给国外朋友和家人的信息，可能会让人觉得很紧急，但一旦我远离它们，我就会意识到这种紧迫感是软件工程、我自己的焦虑，或者两者的结合所造成的。)”可知，作者在换用非智能手机后意识到，许多原本感觉紧急的互动其实是被过度强调了紧迫感，这种紧迫感可能源于软件设计或个人焦虑。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time I was hardly even there.(我现在带的是胶片相机而不是智能手机，刻意拍照的行为给我带来了真正的快乐。当人们问我是否想念我的智能手机时，我会回想起我上瘾最严重的时候。我一直在网上，但很少出现在现场。我怎么会想念那段时光呢？我几乎都不在那里。)”可知，作者通过降低设备等级(从智能手机到非智能手机、胶片相机)，提升了在现实生活中的存在感和体验质量，享受到了真正的快乐。因此，作者的经历表明降低设备等级可以提升现实生活的体验。故选C项。
Passage4
江浙高中发展共同体·2026届高三第一次适应性考试
In my senior-year literature class last term, I encountered a knight who defended a forgotten kingdom, a gentle grandmother who healed wounds with folk tales, and a futuristic explorer who vanished in a black hole. Once, I often found myself amazed at how my students, who brought these figures to life, grasped the essence of complex literary themes.
But the situation was quite different with their first assignment, which centered on the question: “Why is literature important ”
Most of the essays were barely a page long, and scarcely any had a sentence that could serve as a strong thesis statement. I was taken aback. Then it dawned on me that the problem lay in the question itself. They could have written volumes about the allure of social media, but literature, in its pure form, just didn’t seem significant to them. This had to change.
As a new semester began, I asked everyone to craft a reflective essay on a literary work that had touched their soul. This time, they found the task far more engaging. For the subsequent two tasks, a drama-analysis project was followed by a poetry-creation workshop. I only stipulated that each piece should convey a deep-seated emotion. The outcomes were astounding. The students delved into a wide range of literary works and produced essays and poems, each 8 to 15 pages long, with insights that broadened my perspective and stirred my emotions.
I entered the class believing that literature is important as a mirror of humanity. However, my students demonstrated something even more profound. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a year’s worth of memories filled with the realization of literature’s most profound significance — the ability to awaken dormant feelings, to transport us to unseen worlds, and to reveal the shared threads of our human experiences.
4. Who are the characters mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1
A. Senior-year students. B. The author’s relatives.
C. Famous literary critics. D. Fictional personas.
5. Why did the students perform poorly in their first writing task
A. They lacked writing skills. B. They had a limited understanding of literature.
C. They misinterpreted the question’s intent. D. They had no interest in the topic.
6. What does the underlined word “astounding” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Confusing. B. Impressive. C. Ordinary. D. Frightening.
7. What does the author’s experience illustrate
A. Literature can awaken deep-seated human emotions.
B. Teaching literature is an easy task.
C. Students prefer creative writing to theoretical essays.
D. Classic literature is losing its appeal.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述了作者作为一名写作课老师，通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作动力的来源以及写作真正意义的成长故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In my senior-year literature class last term, I encountered a knight who defended a forgotten kingdom, a gentle grandmother who healed wounds with folk tales, and a futuristic explorer who vanished in a black hole.(上学期，在我任教的高年级文学课上，我邂逅了诸多角色：一位守护着被遗忘王国的骑士、一位用民间故事治愈伤痛的慈祥祖母，还有一位消失在黑洞中的未来探险家)”可知，这些角色都是文学作品中的人物，即虚构人物。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Then it dawned on me that the problem lay in the question itself. They could have written volumes about the allure of social media, but literature, in its pure form, just didn’t seem significant to them.(这时我恍然大悟，问题其实出在问题本身上。他们本可以洋洋洒洒地写上很多关于社交媒体吸引力的内容，但纯粹的文学对他们而言似乎并无重要意义)”可推知，学生在第一次写作任务中表现不佳是因为他们误解了“文学为何重要”这一问题，觉得该主题无关紧要。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The students delved into a wide range of literary works and produced essays and poems, each 8 to 15 pages long, with insights that broadened my perspective and stirred my emotions.(学生们钻研了大量的文学作品，写出了8到15页长的散文和诗歌，他们的见解开阔了我的视野，激发了我的情感)”可知，学生们深入研究了广泛的文学作品，写出了长篇的论文和诗歌，这些作品让作者印象深刻，“astounding”意为“令人赞叹的、印象深刻的”，与“Impressive”意思相近，故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a year’s worth of memories filled with the realization of literature’s most profound significance — the ability to awaken dormant feelings, to transport us to unseen worlds, and to reveal the shared threads of our human experiences.(当六月最后的铃声响起时，我带着一整年的回忆离开了，这些回忆让我深刻领悟到了文学最深远的意义——它能够唤醒沉睡的情感，带我们穿越至未曾见过的世界，并揭示出我们人类经历中共通的脉络)”可推知，作者的经历说明了文学可以唤醒人类深藏的情感。故选A。
Passage5
2026届江苏苏州市七校联考模拟预测
Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.
However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After ruling out unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly highfived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was assembled. What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.
Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench ” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name.
Last fall with the temperature falling, our outdoor days come to an end. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了七十多岁的作者和邻居唐娜因觉得椅子和桶坐着不舒服，网购并组装了一张长椅，这张长椅不仅成了二人午后聊天的好去处，还吸引了其他邻居，被赋予了多个名字，展现了邻里间的联结。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench.(然而，在接下来的几天里，我们发现椅子和桶坐起来并不舒服，这些远远不够。唐娜决定我们需要一张长椅)”以及第二段末句“What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.(此外，这张长椅非常适合两个七十多岁的人在傍晚继续聊天)”可知，换掉座椅是为了获得更舒适的、适合聊天的座位。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段内容“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench ” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating”, adding yet another name.(很快，这张长椅吸引了其他邻居。有一天，有人从人行道上喊道：“你们在那张长椅上做什么？” 反应敏捷的唐娜大声回答：“这是我们的‘思考椅’！我们会思考生活中发生的重要事情。”后来，这个名字逐渐有了新的变化——有位邻居独自坐在上面陷入沉思后，称它为“决策椅”；还有一次，唐娜在上面打盹被发现，她坚称自己在“冥想”，又为长椅添了一个新名字)”可知，长椅的不同名字源于不同使用者在长椅上的不同行为活动。有人思考、有人做决定、有人打盹称冥想，名字随这些行为而产生。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据末段首句“When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes.(在接下来的几个月里，我几次瞥见这张长椅，它孤零零地待在那里，上面放着空花盆和一些扁平的旧箱子)”可知，长椅冬日里沦为摆放杂物的工具，不再发挥其原本的作用。提及花盆和箱子，正是为了体现长椅此时未被用于原本的用途。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段“Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.(去年春天，我和邻居唐娜都已年过七旬，我们在明媚的阳光下待了好几个小时，惬意迎接这崭新的季节。到了坐下歇息的时候，唐娜从车库搬出她那把红色的金属椅子，我则坐在一个倒扣的塑料桶上。聊着我俩在漫长冬日里宅家错过的家长里短，这样的时光别提多惬意了)”、第三段内容“Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench ” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved—after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating”, adding yet another name.(很快，这张长椅吸引了其他邻居。有一天，有人从人行道上喊道：“你们在那张长椅上做什么？” 反应敏捷的唐娜大声回答：“这是我们的‘思考椅’！我们会思考生活中发生的重要事情。”后来，这个名字逐渐有了新的变化——有位邻居独自坐在上面陷入沉思后，称它为“决策椅”；还有一次，唐娜在上面打盹被发现，她坚称自己在“冥想”，又为长椅添了一个新名字)”以及末段末句“But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.(但如今漫长的冬日已逝，春花即将在暖阳中绽放，我们这些邻居也准备好迎接 “这张长椅” 重新回到我们的生活中)”可推断，长椅最初是作者和唐娜的聊天座椅，随后吸引了其他邻居，被赋予多种充满生活气息的名字，成为邻里间互动的载体。冬日长椅被收进车库闲置，春日来临所有邻居都满心期待它的回归。因此，长椅串联起邻里间的交流与温情，成为邻里之间情感联结的纽带。故选A。

江苏省镇江市2025-2026学年上学期高三零模
At the point where charity meets sustainability, Wendy Schmidt stands out for her innovative approach to addressing global challenges. Her work goes beyond traditional charity, rooted in a method that considers the interconnections within ecological, social, and economic systems.
Her work began somewhat unexpectedly through her career as a room designer. It was here that she became intensely aware of how design choices impact resource use and waste generation. This awareness grew into a genuine commitment to addressing broader environmental challenges and led to the creation of the Schmidt Family Foundation and initiatives aimed at encouraging systemic change.
One of the core principles guiding Schmidt’s efforts is “venture philanthropy (风险慈善),” which focuses on original, creative solutions to environmental problems. For instance, the 11th Hour Project’s work in the Democratic Republic of Congo helps protect gorilla habitats while providing alternative livelihoods for local communities by supporting the construction of micro-hydropower (微型水力发电) systems.
To deepen public engagement, Schmidt advocates using new media and immersive experiences. She believes technologies like virtual reality (VR) offer unique opportunities to engage the public in ways traditional media cannot. Schmidt hopes to change how people relate to the natural world. In line with this vision, in April 2024, Schmidt co-launched Agog: The Immersive Media Institute, which supports creators and nonprofit leaders in using extended reality technologies to inspire empathy and social transformation.
Throughout her work, she had a strong commitment to ensure that the benefits of technological advancements and environmental initiatives are accessible to all.

Passage7
山东名校联盟2026届高三下学期2月份核心素养评估考试
16-year-old Jared Lepora from the UK has created a robotic arm that imitates the natural movements of a human hand using only ready-made Lego Mindstorms parts. He showcased this invention at the 2025 International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in Hangzhou, China.
The teenager co-authored research recently published along with colleagues including his father Nathan Lepora, a professor of robotics and artificial intelligence at the University of Bristol. Jared used Lego Mindstorms, a Lego robotics kit, to build a Lego version of SoftHand-A, a 3D-printed robot hand introduced in an earlier study.
“My dad has always been working on robotics. He designs robotic systems with complicated mechanisms that have lots of real-world applications,” Jared said. “My goal was to create an educational design which shows professional mechanisms in a simple educational way understandable by children.”
The design is a playful interpretation of a serious line of robotics research. It is based on the Pisa/IIT SoftHand model, a world-leading development in soft robotics that uses a single tendon (肌腱) system to coordinate finger movements. Jared adapted this concept for educational purposes, replacing the 3D-printed parts and metal bearings with standard components and over 100 plastic Lego bearings. Despite its toy origins, the Lego SoftHand performs remarkably well. Lab tests have shown that it can grip objects with about 90% of the force of a professional 3D-printed SoftHand, and perform open-close cycles in about one second.
Since the hand can be constructed from Lego pieces and uses state-of-the-art design concepts for robotic hands, it has the potential to educate and inspire children to learn about the frontiers of modern robotics. “My generation and younger are the future of robotics, so it is essential that we understand and take interest in this field,” Jared says. “Building a robot hand with your own hands is a great way to learn about robotics.”
4. What can be learned about Jared from the first two paragraphs
A. He has an inquiring mind. B. He is keen on cutting-edge tech.
C. He is fond of Lego bricks. D. He excels at hands-on projects.
5. What is Jared’s design like
A. Rare but mind-opening. B. User-friendly and informative.
C. Complicated but well-operated. D. Cost-effective and professional.
6. What is the basis for Jared’s design
A. A novel concept of movements.
B. Earlier research of Lego robotics.
C. An advanced model in soft robotics.
D. The availability of Lego components.
7. What message does the text mainly convey
A. Like father, like son. B. Home is the first school.
C. It’s never too late to learn. D. Think outside the Lego box.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D

Passage8
青岛39中2026届高三年级模拟考试2026.03
Mark Twain’s words strike a deep chord (心弦) with writers, “The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.” This quote shows the tiring process of rewriting a novel. The first draft feels like an exciting first date — full of promise and relaxation. You finish with a broad smile, imagining readers applauding your brilliance.
But that honeymoon period lasts only about 48 hours. Soon, the sinking feeling sets in as you revisit your draft, realizing the hard part has just begun. Rewriting is where real writers emerge. It’s time to dig deep, pulling out the tools and techniques you’ve gathered over the years. You revisit your favorite authors, hoping they’ll offer guidance for navigating the rocky road of revision.
Rewriting demands you comb through each sentence, ensuring it contains the exact right word. Every character must earn its place in the story, and each chapter should contribute meaningfully to the narrative. Even your beloved pieces of dialogue may need to be cut.
I learned this while working on my novel. The rewriting process haunted (萦绕) me, and I often questioned if the effort was worth it. One night, nearing 2 a.m. after an exhausting session, I thought about abandoning my work. That’s when I came across the film In Time, which highlighted my deepest fear: the time invested in my novel. At that moment, I struck a deal with myself. I decided to cease the self-criticism and recapture the joy that fueled my writing. I committed to evaluating my work page by page, asking, “Do I love it ” If not, I replaced it.
Here’s my advice: reawaken your passion and examine your work one page at a time. Writing is a journey, and the rewriting period bridges inspiration and a satisfying finished product. Remember, the “right word” is the key to excellence.
4. What do Mark Twain’s words imply
A. Revising is a rocky road. B. Readers’ feeling matters.
C. Quoting precisely is a must. D. The first draft rarely falls short.
5. What does the author think of rewriting
A. Time-wasting. B. Labor-saving. C. Heartbreaking. D. Painstaking.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Which word should be highlighted. B. Why the writing process is questioned.
C. What the film In Time talks about. D. How the passion for rewriting is fueled.
7. What does the author’s advice show
A. The role of inspiration in writing. B. The importance of proper wording.
C. The reason for making rewriting unique. D The journey to creating an excellent product.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. B

Passage9
北京市通州区2025-2026学年高三上学期摸底考试
There’s a wrapper half-sunk in the mud under the bush. Each time I grab it with my litter-picker, another piece tears off. I persist, until all the pieces are in my bin liner. Then I move on.
I’m volunteering with a group at my local park. They perform a range of tasks, but today we’re litter-picking. When our bags are full, we gather for a break, in our yellow vests (马甲). I arrived this morning feeling depressed, but this simple, repetitive and collective act has comforted me and pulled me away from the doom scroll of my mind.
It’s easy to assume that the best way to lift your spirits when you’re feeling down is to do something nice for yourself. However, research suggests that altruistic (利他的) acts work better. I did not know this when I signed up with the conservation group.
What I did know was that I was feeling deeply upset about the ecological and climate crises. It was the counsellor (咨询师) I was seeing who switched me on to the idea of volunteering. He gave me three rules: make it simple, immediate and cooperative. That’s how, a week later, I found myself in a park fishing old carrier bags out of the river.
Psychologists call the mental boost from volunteering the “helper’s high”. And I did feel that lift, which soon led me to sign up to volunteer at other places. Every time I volunteered, I would come home feeling better — lifted by the fresh air, the natural environment and the companion—and, perhaps most of all, by having acted in line with my values. I didn’t mind if the tasks were exhausting or repetitive. I was taking action, learning new skills, and feeling part of something meaningful.
That’s not to say I didn’t — and still don’t — sometimes wonder: Are we really making a difference here But I remind myself of my counselor’s advice that I should not be discouraged by people saying that my actions were only a drop in the ocean, since an ocean is made up of millions upon millions of drops.
While it was my total despair with the environment that led me into volunteering, it’s the goodness and kindness that I’ve witnessed while working alongside my fellow volunteers that have kept me coming. And I think yellow is my color.
24. The author started volunteering because of ______.
A. the inspiration of a counsellor
B. his own confusion about life values
C. an insightful litter-picking experience
D. his desire to improve cooperative skills
25. How did the author feel after litter-picking in the park
A. Bored. B. Engaged. C. Rewarded. D. Depressed.
26. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ______.
A. values the warm-heartedness of local people
B. believes the color will help her stay positive
C. feels a stronger connection to the volunteer role
D. sees the color as a warning sign of environment
27. What was the major insight the author gained from the volunteering
A. Climate crisis needs an immediate solution.
B. Individual goodness brings about a great power.
C. People need stronger ties with local communities.
D. Helping others has a positive impact on one’s career.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. B
【解析】

【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I arrived this morning feeling depressed, but this simple, repetitive and collective act has comforted me and pulled me away from the doom scroll of my mind. (今天早上我心情低落，但这种简单、重复且集体性的行为让我感到宽慰，让我从脑海中那充满绝望的思绪中解脱了出来。)”以及第五段中“And I did feel that lift, which soon led me to sign up to volunteer at other places. Every time I volunteered, I would come home feeling better — lifted by the fresh air, the natural environment and the companion — and, perhaps most of all, by having acted in line with my values. I didn’t mind if the tasks were exhausting or repetitive. I was taking action, learning new skills, and feeling part of something meaningful. (我确实感受到了这种提升，这很快促使我开始在其他地方进行志愿服务。每次参与志愿服务后，我回到家时都会感觉心情变好——得益于清新的空气、自然的环境以及同伴的陪伴——而或许最重要的是，因为我按照自己的价值观行事了。我不介意任务是否令人疲惫或重复。我是在采取行动，学习新技能，并且感觉自己是某种有意义事物的一部分。)”可知，作者一早参与捡垃圾时心情低落，但活动后感受到了慰藉，获得了心理上的愉悦感，还觉得自己做的事有意义，这种心理上的满足和收获即“有成就感的、得到回报的”。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While it was my total despair with the environment that led me into volunteering, it’s the goodness and kindness that I’ve witnessed while working alongside my fellow volunteers that have kept me coming. And I think yellow is my color. (虽然是我对环境的极度绝望促使我投身志愿服务，但正是在与志愿者们一起工作时所目睹的善良和仁慈，让我一直坚持下去。而且我认为黄色是我的代表色。)”可知，从最后一段可以推断出作者对志愿者这一角色有了更强烈的认同感。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“But I remind myself of my counselor’s advice that I should not be discouraged by people saying that my actions were only a drop in the ocean, since an ocean is made up of millions upon millions of drops. (但我会提醒自己咨询师的建议，即不应因有人说我的行动只是沧海一粟而感到沮丧，因为大海是由数以百万计的水滴组成的。)”可推知，作者从志愿服务中获得的主要感悟是个人的善良能够产生巨大的力量。故选B项。
Passage10
备战2026年高考英语模拟卷（上海卷）
My adventure with pottery began unexpectedly online. I saw a video of a person making a late-night snack, but what truly caught my eye was the plate — a beautifully simple, cream-colored piece with a unique bubbled shape. I had never seen anything like it and immediately wanted one, I imagined all the meals I could present on it and how lovely they would look.
However, it was quite expensive. I couldn’t justify the purchase, so a bold idea struck me: Why not make it myself I admitted this was a little unreasonable. My only experience with clay was from a brief encounter in elementary school. Yet, driven by the desire for that unique plate and then a wish to learn something new, I signed up for a pottery class last April.
I entered the first class confidently, but reality soon hit. In the beginning, handling clay — which seemed so simple — was much harder for me, a rather carefree girl, than I had anticipated. My posture was wrong; I failed to center the clay on the wheel; I even couldn’t control its speed properly. Once, I spun the wheel too fast and made my piece flying across the room. I felt embarrassed and thought about quitting right then.
However, I was not the one to give up easily. I continued attending class. By the third session, a shift occurred. I concentrated on steadying my elbows, gently applying pressure to the clay, and slowly pulling up the walls to form a bowl. The quiet rhythmic sound of the spinning wheel had a calming effect. To my surprise, by the end of that class, I had created my first real piece — a small, imperfect, yet completely handmade bowl.
That semester taught me more than pottery; it taught me perseverance, and how to find beauty in imperfection. I left with several bowls and a vase. The bubble-shaped plate remained my goal in my next round of classes. This journey reminded me that true value lies not in a perfect product, but in the rewarding process of creating something with my own hands.
36．What was the author’s initial intention of making a piece of pottery
A．To learn a new skill. B．To join a pottery class.
C．To have a special plate. D．To decorate a perfect room.
37．Why did the author almost give up pottery making
A．She found it too tiring. B．She was rather careless.
C．She lacked the proper instruction. D．She struggled with the basic techniques.
38．Which of the following can best describe the author
A．Daring and modest. B．Cautious and sensitive.
C．Determined and patient. D．Curious and considerate.
39．What does the author learn from her pottery experience
A．Well begun is half done. B．The journey is the reward.
C．Perfection is the enemy of progress. D．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
【答案】36．C 37．D 38．C 39．B

I had never seen anything like it and immediately wanted one.”(我看到一个人做夜宵的视频，但真正吸引我的是那个盘子——一件简洁美观、乳白色、有着独特气泡形状的器皿。我从未见过这样的东西，立刻就想要一个。)以及第二段“However, it was quite expensive. I couldn’t justify the purchase, so a bold idea struck me: Why not make it myself ”(然而，它相当昂贵。我无法合理买下它，于是一个大胆的想法闪过：为什么不自己做一个呢？)可知，作者最初制作陶艺的目的是想要一个特别的盘子。故选C。
37．细节理解题。根据第三段“In the beginning, handling clay — which seemed so simple — was much harder for me, a rather carefree girl, than I had anticipated. My posture was wrong; I failed to center the clay on the wheel; I even couldn’t control its speed properly.”(起初，操控黏土——看似如此简单——对我这个相当随性的女孩来说，比我预想的要难得多。我的姿势不对；无法把黏土在转盘上居中；甚至不能正确控制转速。)可知，作者在基础技巧上遇到了很大困难，因此差点放弃。故选D。
38．推理判断题。根据第四段“However, I was not the one to give up easily. I continued attending class.”(然而，我不是轻易放弃的人。我继续上课。)以及作者坚持练习、慢慢掌握技巧的过程可知，作者是有决心、有耐心的人。故选C。
39．推理判断题。根据最后一段“This journey reminded me that true value lies not in a perfect product, but in the rewarding process of creating something with my own hands.”(这段经历提醒我，真正的价值不在于完美的成品，而在于亲手创造事物的有益过程。)可知，作者从陶艺经历中学到的是“过程本身就是回报”。故选B。

Passage 1
河北衡水中学2025-26届高三年级检测（七）
When our family was on long car trips, my kids sat forward in their seats, eyes moving quickly across billboards. “I found an A” my daughter shouted, her voice full of excitement. Thus began our alphabet (字母) game — a tradition I loved as a child, now bringing joy to a new generation. What always amazed me was how, once we fixed our attention on a letter, it seemed to show up everywhere: a “B” on a bakery sign, a “C” on a coffee ad. I’d worry we’d never spot a Q or X, but sure enough, they’d appear, making the kids cheer like we’d won a prize.
This little phenomenon hit me harder while I struggled to write a book for Angelico Press. For days, I stared at my screen, the cursor (光标) shining with nothing there, as I fought to find fresh, poetic words for “nature’s beauty.” Every phrase felt boring — too common, too forced. I’d delete paragraphs when I felt upset, wondering if I’d ever catch that quiet magic of the outdoors, the kind that makes you feel amazed. It wasn’t for lack of trying; I read poetry collections, took dawn walks, but inspiration just wouldn’t stick.
Then one afternoon, as the kids talked excitedly from the back seat about spotting a “Y” on a farm sign, it clicked. I’d been waiting for inspiration to find me, not going out to find it. What if I approached writing like their game I started hunting for metaphors (隐喻) in daily life — and soon, they were everywhere: a garden rose became “sunlight wrapped in silk,” rain on my window “the sky’s soft whisper.”
Just as Mentalist Oz Pearlman says, “we find what we seek.” Whether it’s a letter on a billboard, a meaningful image, or even joy in small moments, focus turns the invisible into the visible. It’s a reminder to choose what we look for wisely — because what we notice shapes the world we see.
4. What was the author’s initial concern about the game
A. The children would soon get bored.
B. Some letters might be too hard to find.
C. The children would fight over the letters.
D. They might run out of billboards to search.
5. Why did the author delete paragraphs when writing
A. She lacked writing materials.
B. She wanted to copy poetry styles.
C. She thought her writing was too long.
D. She couldn’t find creative expressions.
6. What made the author get inspiration for writing
A. The poetry collections she read.
B. The way to play the alphabet game.
C. The idea of taking a family car ride.
D. The poetic sentences she created.
7. What can we learn from the author’s experience
A. Treasures lie in distant places.
B. Inspiration comes from reading.
C. Focus helps discover life’s beauty.
D. Success depends on the right moment.
Passage2
吉林省松原市实验高级中学2025-2026学年高三下学期学情调研
Several years ago, on a bitterly cold February day that felt particularly hopeless, I wandered the winding streets of an unnamed small town in Vermont, seeking a quiet corner to reach a clear decision that had been weighing on my mind for weeks: whether I should leave my teaching job — a position that offered security but felt more and more empty — and pursue something, anything, that might bring me a sense of true fulfillment (成就), for I was supposed to help shape young minds yet often felt no more than a paper-grader and a silent observer of empty classrooms.
I took shelter from the cold in a local diner and noticed an old man, who I later learned was Orin, sitting alone with a pie before him, staring out at the gray sky; after a while, he stood up, walked to a tired young waitress named Clara who was clearing a nearby table, took a napkin, smoothed it flat, drew a sunflower with a pencil, and handed it to her — an act that made her tired face light up with a warm smile as she thanked him softly.
Curious, I asked Clara about him. She explained Orin had lost his wife the year before and withdrawn into silence after their small farm lost its warmth, yet still came to the diner every few days to give others such small drawings — delicate sketches (速写) showing a skill far beyond a casual hobby. I suddenly understood: I had sought fulfillment as if it were far-off, but Orin, who had every reason to withdraw, chose to reach out. His small act taught me that fulfillment comes not from the job itself, but from the bonds we build through it.
When I returned to the city, I did not resign, for I finally knew that a kind word to a struggling student or a moment of patience with a difficult class was the very meaning I’d been searching for.
24. Why did the author wander the Vermont town
A. To escape the cold weather. B. To take a vacation there.
C. To make a career choice. D. To enjoy a quiet atmosphere.
25. What was the immediate effect of Orin’s drawing for Clara
A. It brightened her day. B. It displayed his artistic skills.
C. It attracted more customers. D. It reminded her of his fulfillment.
26. What can be learned about Orin from paragraph 3
A. He considered drawing as his hobby. B. He seemed silent but warm-hearted.
C. He hoped to withdraw from the diner. D. He quit farming for his artistic dream.
27. What message does the text convey
A. Job change brings personal satisfaction. B. Quiet places offer solutions to problems.
C. Love for art is a cure for deep sadness. D. Value in work lies in human connections.
Passage3
杭州学军中学2026首考适应性考试
For years, as an art influencer, I lived online, documenting all aspects of my life and desiring more followers on Instagram. A constant panic over lost connections the emptiness of endless scrolling, and a nearly missed car accident left me feeling drained. Overwhelmed, I deactivated my account and bought an old Nokia. Then, everything changed.
Only after giving up my smartphone did I realize how distracted and anxious I had become. Withdrawal was difficult, but as months passed, subtle changes accumulated. When the Internet wasn’t immediately accessible, the urge to use it faded away, and parts of me that had been buried under years of digital noise surfaced. Without endless scrolling, hours have returned to me. I can use the otherwise screen time to be healthy or productive, but I can also use it to appreciate the lost art of idleness. I spend a good part of the day just leafing through magazines, drinking cups of tea, poking clumsily at the piano. I don’t believe it is possible to waste time when I am fully present.
Staying in touch has proved easier than expected. My dumbphone still allows calls and texts, and most online — messaging tools are available on my computer. It turns out that the only people I really need to contact on the go are those I am working with. What time will you be there or I’m running late — that’s urgent information. Some interactions, such as group chats, messages to friends and family abroad might feel urgent, but once I step away from them, I realize that the sense of urgency is a product of software engineering, my own anxiety, or a combination.
It has been years since I downgraded. I now carry a film camera instead of a smartphone, and the deliberate act of taking photos brings me genuine joy. When people ask whether I miss my smartphone, I think back to the height of my addiction. I was constantly online, yet rarely present. How could I miss that time I was hardly even there.
4. What led the author to deactivate his Instagram account
A. A loss of connections.
B. A sense of personal burnout.
C. A near miss of an accident.
D. A decline of online followers.
5. Which best describes the author’s life in paragraph 2
A. Absorbed in new hobbies.
B. Stuck in digital withdrawal.
C. Focused on quality moments.
D. Built on health and productivity.
6. What does the author realize after shifting to the dumbphone
A. He has to rely on computers.
B. Real-time contact is much needed.
C. Close relationships are hard to maintain.
D. The sense of urgency is overemphasized.
7. What does the author’s experience show
A. Stopping scrolling, restoring health.
B. Quitting Instagram, embracing possibility.
C. Downgrading devices, upgrading presence.
D. Dropping smartphone, recognizing urgency.
Passage4
江浙高中发展共同体·2026届高三第一次适应性考试
In my senior-year literature class last term, I encountered a knight who defended a forgotten kingdom, a gentle grandmother who healed wounds with folk tales, and a futuristic explorer who vanished in a black hole. Once, I often found myself amazed at how my students, who brought these figures to life, grasped the essence of complex literary themes.
But the situation was quite different with their first assignment, which centered on the question: “Why is literature important ”
Most of the essays were barely a page long, and scarcely any had a sentence that could serve as a strong thesis statement. I was taken aback. Then it dawned on me that the problem lay in the question itself. They could have written volumes about the allure of social media, but literature, in its pure form, just didn’t seem significant to them. This had to change.
As a new semester began, I asked everyone to craft a reflective essay on a literary work that had touched their soul. This time, they found the task far more engaging. For the subsequent two tasks, a drama-analysis project was followed by a poetry-creation workshop. I only stipulated that each piece should convey a deep-seated emotion. The outcomes were astounding. The students delved into a wide range of literary works and produced essays and poems, each 8 to 15 pages long, with insights that broadened my perspective and stirred my emotions.
I entered the class believing that literature is important as a mirror of humanity. However, my students demonstrated something even more profound. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a year’s worth of memories filled with the realization of literature’s most profound significance — the ability to awaken dormant feelings, to transport us to unseen worlds, and to reveal the shared threads of our human experiences.
4. Who are the characters mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1
A. Senior-year students. B. The author’s relatives.
C. Famous literary critics. D. Fictional personas.
5. Why did the students perform poorly in their first writing task
A. They lacked writing skills. B. They had a limited understanding of literature.
C. They misinterpreted the question’s intent. D. They had no interest in the topic.
6. What does the underlined word “astounding” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Confusing. B. Impressive. C. Ordinary. D. Frightening.
7. What does the author’s experience illustrate
A. Literature can awaken deep-seated human emotions.
B. Teaching literature is an easy task.
C. Students prefer creative writing to theoretical essays.
D. Classic literature is losing its appeal.
Passage5
2026届江苏苏州市七校联考模拟预测
Last spring, my neighbor Donna and I, both in our seventies, spent several hours in the glorious sunshine enjoying the new season. When it was time to sit down and relax, Donna pulled out her red metal chair from her garage, and I sat on an overturned plastic bucket. It was fun to catch up on the news that we had missed during the long winter indoors.
However, over the next few days, it turned out that we needed more than a chair and a bucket which were not quite comfortable. Donna decided we needed a bench. After ruling out unsuitable options from local stores, she found a perfect one online. The next day it arrived. Excitedly, she opened the box and started putting it together. We proudly highfived each other as the pieces joined up and the bench started to look like one. After a few minutes’ assistance from a neighbour, it was assembled. What’s more, it was ideal for two 70-somethings to carry on late afternoon chats.
Soon, the bench attracted other neighbors. One day, someone called out from the sidewalk, “What do you do on that bench ” Quick-thinking Donna shouted back, “It’s our ‘Thinking Bench’! We think about important things happening in our lives.” Then, the name gradually evolved — after one neighbor sat alone deep in thought, he declared it a “Decision-Making Bench”; another time, when Donna was caught napping, she insisted she was “meditating (冥想)”, adding yet another name.
Last fall with the temperature falling, our outdoor days come to an end. We were faced with one dilemma — what to do about it in the winter Well, we sat down and thought and meditated and decided to put it in Donna’s garage for the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times over the next months, the bench sat lonely, holding empty flower pots, and some flat, old boxes. But now after a long winter, spring flowers are ready to bloom in the warm sunshine, and we neighbours are ready to welcome “The Bench” back into our lives.
4. Donna decided to replace the chair and bucket to ________.
A. lighten the carrying load B. attract more neighbours
C. get better seating for conversations D. adapt to warmer weather
5. How did the bench get its various names

江苏省镇江市2025-2026学年上学期高三零模
At the point where charity meets sustainability, Wendy Schmidt stands out for her innovative approach to addressing global challenges. Her work goes beyond traditional charity, rooted in a method that considers the interconnections within ecological, social, and economic systems.
Her work began somewhat unexpectedly through her career as a room designer. It was here that she became intensely aware of how design choices impact resource use and waste generation. This awareness grew into a genuine commitment to addressing broader environmental challenges and led to the creation of the Schmidt Family Foundation and initiatives aimed at encouraging systemic change.
One of the core principles guiding Schmidt’s efforts is “venture philanthropy (风险慈善),” which focuses on original, creative solutions to environmental problems. For instance, the 11th Hour Project’s work in the Democratic Republic of Congo helps protect gorilla habitats while providing alternative livelihoods for local communities by supporting the construction of micro-hydropower (微型水力发电) systems.
To deepen public engagement, Schmidt advocates using new media and immersive experiences. She believes technologies like virtual reality (VR) offer unique opportunities to engage the public in ways traditional media cannot. Schmidt hopes to change how people relate to the natural world. In line with this vision, in April 2024, Schmidt co-launched Agog: The Immersive Media Institute, which supports creators and nonprofit leaders in using extended reality technologies to inspire empathy and social transformation.
Throughout her work, she had a strong commitment to ensure that the benefits of technological advancements and environmental initiatives are accessible to all. By integrating traditional knowledge and contemporary science, she tries to create solutions that are both innovative and deeply rooted in respect for the natural world.
24. What makes Schmidt’s work different from traditional charity
A. Her knowledge of ecology. B. Her strong desire for global changes.
C. Her involvement in local communities. D. Her comprehensive approach to sustainability.
25. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. Schmidt’s journey into charity. B. The threat of pollution.
C. Schmidt’s goal for sustainability. D. The significance of recycling.
26. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning the 11th Hour Project in paragraph 3
A. Schmidt’s personal business expansion goals.
B. Schmidt’s innovative solutions to complex issues.
C. The necessity of investing in big industrial projects.
D. The difficulty in building micro-hydropower systems.

山东名校联盟2026届高三下学期2月份核心素养评估考试
16-year-old Jared Lepora from the UK has created a robotic arm that imitates the natural movements of a human hand using only ready-made Lego Mindstorms parts. He showcased this invention at the 2025 International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in Hangzhou, China.
The teenager co-authored research recently published along with colleagues including his father Nathan Lepora, a professor of robotics and artificial intelligence at the University of Bristol. Jared used Lego Mindstorms, a Lego robotics kit, to build a Lego version of SoftHand-A, a 3D-printed robot hand introduced in an earlier study.
“My dad has always been working on robotics. He designs robotic systems with complicated mechanisms that have lots of real-world applications,” Jared said. “My goal was to create an educational design which shows professional mechanisms in a simple educational way understandable by children.”
The design is a playful interpretation of a serious line of robotics research. It is based on the Pisa/IIT SoftHand model, a world-leading development in soft robotics that uses a single tendon (肌腱) system to coordinate finger movements. Jared adapted this concept for educational purposes, replacing the 3D-printed parts and metal bearings with standard components and over 100 plastic Lego bearings. Despite its toy origins, the Lego SoftHand performs remarkably well. Lab tests have shown that it can grip objects with about 90% of the force of a professional 3D-printed SoftHand, and perform open-close cycles in about one second.
Since the hand can be constructed from Lego pieces and uses state-of-the-art design concepts for robotic hands, it has the potential to educate and inspire children to learn about the frontiers of modern robotics. “My generation and younger are the future of robotics, so it is essential that we understand and take interest in this field,” Jared says. “Building a robot hand with your own hands is a great way to learn about robotics.”
4. What can be learned about Jared from the first two paragraphs
A. He has an inquiring mind. B. He is keen on cutting-edge tech.
C. He is fond of Lego bricks. D. He excels at hands-on projects.
5. What is Jared’s design like
A. Rare but mind-opening. B. User-friendly and informative.
C. Complicated but well-operated. D. Cost-effective and professional.
6. What is the basis for Jared’s design
A. A novel concept of movements.
B. Earlier research of Lego robotics.
C. An advanced model in soft robotics.
D. The availability of Lego components.
7. What message does the text mainly convey
A. Like father, like son. B. Home is the first school.
C. It’s never too late to learn. D. Think outside the Lego box.

青岛39中2026届高三年级模拟考试2026.03
Mark Twain’s words strike a deep chord (心弦) with writers, “The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.” This quote shows the tiring process of rewriting a novel. The first draft feels like an exciting first date — full of promise and relaxation. You finish with a broad smile, imagining readers applauding your brilliance.
But that honeymoon period lasts only about 48 hours. Soon, the sinking feeling sets in as you revisit your draft, realizing the hard part has just begun. Rewriting is where real writers emerge. It’s time to dig deep, pulling out the tools and techniques you’ve gathered over the years. You revisit your favorite authors, hoping they’ll offer guidance for navigating the rocky road of revision.
Rewriting demands you comb through each sentence, ensuring it contains the exact right word. Every character must earn its place in the story, and each chapter should contribute meaningfully to the narrative. Even your beloved pieces of dialogue may need to be cut.
I learned this while working on my novel. The rewriting process haunted (萦绕) me, and I often questioned if the effort was worth it. One night, nearing 2 a.m. after an exhausting session, I thought about abandoning my work. That’s when I came across the film In Time, which highlighted my deepest fear: the time invested in my novel. At that moment, I struck a deal with myself. I decided to cease the self-criticism and recapture the joy that fueled my writing. I committed to evaluating my work page by page, asking, “Do I love it ” If not, I replaced it.
Here’s my advice: reawaken your passion and examine your work one page at a time. Writing is a journey, and the rewriting period bridges inspiration and a satisfying finished product. Remember, the “right word” is the key to excellence.
4. What do Mark Twain’s words imply
A. Revising is a rocky road.
B. Readers’ feeling matters.
C. Quoting precisely is a must.
D. The first draft rarely falls short.
5. What does the author think of rewriting
A. Time-wasting. B. Labor-saving. C. Heartbreaking. D. Painstaking.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Which word should be highlighted. B. Why the writing process is questioned.
C. What the film In Time talks about. D. How the passion for rewriting is fueled.
7. What does the author’s advice show
A. The role of inspiration in writing.
B. The importance of proper wording.
C. The reason for making rewriting unique.
D The journey to creating an excellent product.

北京市通州区2025-2026学年高三上学期摸底考试
There’s a wrapper half-sunk in the mud under the bush. Each time I grab it with my litter-picker, another piece tears off. I persist, until all the pieces are in my bin liner. Then I move on.
I’m volunteering with a group at my local park. They perform a range of tasks, but today we’re litter-picking. When our bags are full, we gather for a break, in our yellow vests (马甲). I arrived this morning feeling depressed, but this simple, repetitive and collective act has comforted me and pulled me away from the doom scroll of my mind.
It’s easy to assume that the best way to lift your spirits when you’re feeling down is to do something nice for yourself. However, research suggests that altruistic (利他的) acts work better. I did not know this when I signed up with the conservation group.
What I did know was that I was feeling deeply upset about the ecological and climate crises. It was the counsellor (咨询师) I was seeing who switched me on to the idea of volunteering. He gave me three rules: make it simple, immediate and cooperative. That’s how, a week later, I found myself in a park fishing old carrier bags out of the river.
Psychologists call the mental boost from volunteering the “helper’s high”. And I did feel that lift, which soon led me to sign up to volunteer at other places. Every time I volunteered, I would come home feeling better — lifted by the fresh air, the natural environment and the companion—and, perhaps most of all, by having acted in line with my values.

Passage10
备战2026年高考英语模拟卷（上海卷）
My adventure with pottery began unexpectedly online. I saw a video of a person making a late-night snack, but what truly caught my eye was the plate — a beautifully simple, cream-colored piece with a unique bubbled shape. I had never seen anything like it and immediately wanted one, I imagined all the meals I could present on it and how lovely they would look.
However, it was quite expensive. I couldn’t justify the purchase, so a bold idea struck me: Why not make it myself I admitted this was a little unreasonable. My only experience with clay was from a brief encounter in elementary school. Yet, driven by the desire for that unique plate and then a wish to learn something new, I signed up for a pottery class last April.
I entered the first class confidently, but reality soon hit. In the beginning, handling clay — which seemed so simple — was much harder for me, a rather carefree girl, than I had anticipated. My posture was wrong; I failed to center the clay on the wheel; I even couldn’t control its speed properly. Once, I spun the wheel too fast and made my piece flying across the room. I felt embarrassed and thought about quitting right then.
However, I was not the one to give up easily. I continued attending class. By the third session, a shift occurred. I concentrated on steadying my elbows, gently applying pressure to the clay, and slowly pulling up the walls to form a bowl. The quiet rhythmic sound of the spinning wheel had a calming effect. To my surprise, by the end of that class, I had created my first real piece — a small, imperfect, yet completely handmade bowl.
That semester taught me more than pottery; it taught me perseverance, and how to find beauty in imperfection. I left with several bowls and a vase. The bubble-shaped plate remained my goal in my next round of classes. This journey reminded me that true value lies not in a perfect product, but in the rewarding process of creating something with my own hands.
