A
The Silk Road city of Khiva in Uzbekistan is often described as a living museum. The Itchan Kala, the inner city, was the first place in Central Asia to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite its rich history, Khiva has long been relatively difficult to access due to its remote location and limited transport connections. But 2026 is the year when that changes. A new bullet train service is launching.
Anticipating a rise in visitors, Khiva is expanding its tourism offering. Most attractions are concentrated in the Itchan Kala, a historic walled city rich in the spirit of the Silk Road.
Islam Khodja Minaret: Rising 187 feet, as the second tallest tower in Central Asia, it is in the southeast of the Itchan Kala. It is well worth climbing the 175 steps to the top for bird’s-eye views.
Pahlavan Mahmud Mausoleum: It is a historic monument, just next to the tower, in memory of a famous poet and folk hero in the 13th century.
Juma Mosque: Located at the centre of the walled city, it is a forest of 213 individually carved wooden poles with complex and unique patterns, some of which date from the 10th century.
Nurullaboy Palace: Unlike the other landmarks, it is to the northwest of the walled city. This palace combines architectural styles and technologies from Khiva and Russia.
In addition to its rich history and newly improved accessibility, Uzbekistan's national dish, plov（抓饭）, has earned UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status. As for the weather, the best time to visit Khiva is spring or fall, with March 20-21 marking Nowruz—a national holiday filled with concerts and activities. To top it off, accommodation options range from restored historic buildings to luxurious hotels that combine Khorezmian style with international service.
21. Why is 2026 a turning point for Khiva
A. Historic buildings will be restored.
B. It will expand to receive more visitors.
C. A new transport link will improve access.
D. It will become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
22. Which building is located outside the Itchan Kala
A. Islam Khodja Minaret. B. Pahlavan Mahmud Mausoleum.
C. Juma Mosque. D. Nurullaboy Palace.
23. What is the text mainly about
A. The development of tourism in Uzbekistan.
B. The rich history and culture of Central Asia
C. The architectural wonders along the Silk Road.
D. The tourism overview of the Silk Road city of Khiva.
B
When students, or professionals, sit down across from me for life or professional coaching, they rarely begin with a crisis. More often they describe futures that sound impressive: consulting, leadership roles at major companies. Their plans are polished. From the outside, everything looks ready to go.
Then I ask a different question: “What would your ordinary Tuesday look like at this job ” I want them to tell me what time they’ll wake up or what their evenings feel like when they come home tired. At this point in thee conversation, in most cases, students, and sometimes even professionals, can’t answer my questions. The conversation turns into silence. They have thought about what role they want, but they haven’t yet thought about how it fits with the activities they like to do and the people they care about.
I know that silence because I once sat in their chair. Early in my career, I was chasing a promotion I thought I wanted. One day, a senior colleague asked me to stay late and help her revise a report. I said yes, as always. At 9 p.m. , alone in the office, I looked at my cold takeout and found this was my third late night that week. I had no energy to call my family, no memory of what I’d eaten for lunch. That night, I forced myself to picture the promotion I was chasing: the same late nights, just a fancier title.
That was when I realized: like many ambitious young people, I had been treating work as sacrifice. But endurance（忍耐）only matters if we know what we’re enduring for. The former belief that lasting fulfillment waits at the finish line is what psychologists call the “arrival fallacy.” The problem is, goals rarely transform daily life as we expect. New pressures replace old ones. The future we imagined becomes just the new normal.
Meanwhile, the real question remains unanswered. Do I actually like how I spend my days That’s why I push my conversation partners toward the details—painting as complete a picture as they can. I am not to discourage ambition, but it needs a reality check. Our everyday isn’t a means to a few milestones. Life is enjoyed through the ordinary Tuesdays we spend living it.
24. Why do people fail to describe an “ordinary Tuesday”
A. They lack confidence in their career. B. They avoid thinking about the future.
C. They have little interest in job planning. D. They are unaware of what the job involves.
25. What was the author’s early career life like
A. Planned and promising. B. Satisfying but routine.
C. Goal-driven but exhausting. D. Stressful but rewarding.
26. People with “arrival fallacy” believe ________.
A. future goals are beyond reach B. new pressures will soon appear
C. endurance guarantees promotion D. happiness comes after goal completion
27. How does the author view ambition
A. It should be grounded in life. B. It leads to high self-expectation.
C. It fuels people’s craze for milestones. D. It should be replaced by practical goals.
C
Step into the woods with an expert birder and a beginner. The expert can spot and name species at a glance, while the beginner struggles to tell one songbird from another. What’s going on inside their heads
When learning or practising a skill, the brain reorganises itself, strengthening and streamlining relevant pathways. This ability, known as neuroplasticity, supports the development of expertise. It is why professional musicians show structural changes in brain regions involved in hearing.
To understand whether birding also shapes the brain, Erik Wing at York University in Canada and his colleagues conducted an experiment. They analysed brain structure and function in 48 hobbyist birders, half experts and half beginners, as judged on a screening test. While undergoing brain scans, the participants were shown an image of a bird for less than 4 seconds. About 10 seconds later, they were asked to identify the same bird in one of four images, each showing a different species. The task was repeated 72 times. In total, the researchers used images of 18 bird species—six local and 12 non-local—as targets.
As expected, expert birders could identify birds better than beginners. On average, expert birders accurately identified 83 per cent of local bird species and 61 per cent of the non-local ones. In contrast, beginners correctly identified 44 per cent of both of groups of birds.
While identifying non-local birds, activity in certain brain regions increased in expert birders, but not in beginners. These regions are involved in object identification, visual processing, attention and working memory. “It speaks to the wide range of cognitive（认知的）processes that are involved in birding,” says Wing. These regions, along with others involved in these functions, also appeared more structurally complex and organised in expert birders, suggesting that building expertise in birding reconfigures the brain.
As we age, the brain tends to become less complicated and organized. But this drop was less pronounced in expert birders, suggesting that birding may help build cognitive reserve, the brain’s ability to defend itself against ageing and adapt to damage. “It suggests that maintaining brain activity with some specialised abilities is also linked to reduced effects of ageing,” says Robert Zatorre at McGill University in Canada.
28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. An introduction of a key scientific concept.
B. An example of cognitive changes in experts.
C. A description of brain changes during learning.
D. A summary of experimental findings on musicians.
29. What can we learn about the experiment
A. Expert birders were assigned different tasks.
B. Enough time was given to memorize the birds.
C. Local species were more frequently presented.
D. Participants tried picking out the birds shown before.
30. What does the underlined word “reconfigures” in paragraph 5mean
A. Tests the limits of. B. Changes the structure of.
C. Eases the burden of. D. Restores the function of.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To explain how bird-watching influences human cognition.
B. To compare cognitive abilities between experts and beginners.
C. To propose a new scientific method for studying bird-watching.
D. To highlight the importance of outdoor activities for brain health.
D
Why do life’s challenges make some people stronger and others weaker The answer may lie in how our minds and genes interact. A new research project is now investigating the cognitive and genetic mechanisms that cause some people to flourish and others to struggle.
Until now, research into cognitive biases and genetics has been entirely separate, so bringing them together in this research is really exciting. Previous research clearly tells us that certain sets of genes may lead people to develop anxiety or depression when they experience negative life events. But the new research finds that, in certain situations, those genes can also be a real benefit to people when they’re in supportive environments. If a child with so-called risky genes is in a good school and has much support, he or she can really flourish. We’re beginning to realize that we shouldn't call them risky genes, but sensitivity genes. This means that some people at risk of mental health problems could, in the right conditions, be really happy.
The other side of the research looks at cognitive biases. People always say: “Why is the media full of negative news stories ” This negativity can result in a society where people feel very anxious all the time. All of our brains are naturally tuned into negativity for evolutionary reasons—it’s more important to spot a predator（捕食者）than food—but this is especially true for anxious or depressed people. They are even more sensitive to the effects of negative information, making it more likely that they will adopt a pessimistic habit of mind. Crucially, these same people who are more affected by negativity are also more likely to be responsive to positive situations and, potentially, to psychological interventions.
Right now, the researchers are on a five-year project and only halfway through. One of the exciting things is thee possibility of developing much more personalized treatment options for psychological disorders. Once we know this, we will be in a better position to tailor treatments for individuals, rather than applying the one-size-fits-all approach used now.
32. What’s the focus of the new research
A. Attitudes to different life choices.
B. The influence of negative experiences.
C. Responsive mechanisms to challenges.
D. The relationship between environment and genes.
33. How do the researchers arrive at the realization about “risky genes”
A. By clarifying an assumption. B. By comparing different situations.
C. By adjusting research procedures. D. By analyzing effects of different genes.
34. What makes people sensitive to negativity according to paragraph 3
A. Pressure from modern life. B. Built-in survival mode.
C. Exposure to negative reports. D. Drive for food resources.
35. Who might benefit more from the research
A. People with genetic disorders. B. People having high-risk lifestyles.
C. People with mental health condition. D. People unwilling to accept challenges

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
As a child growing up there are many different paths available to navigate one’s way through adolescence into adulthood. I was fortunate to have had the guidance of my father, who had many hobbies in his life. ______36______ He loved talking about them to anyone who would listen.
______37______ I was always looking for pennies—whether given as change or picked up off the ground—and checking to see if they were “Wheaties,” pennies made from 1909 to 1958. Some Lincoln Wheat Cents were quite valuable, but for me, the real joy was the search itself.
My father passed away last week. Although he will be missed, there is no sadness in his passing. He lived nearly 97 years of a full and meaningful life. During his final moments, I whispered in his ear that I needed a sign after he left us. ______38______
The next day, my sister and I were going through his old clothes when something fell out and hit the floor—it was a 1928 Wheat penny. There was no way to know how long it had been there. Some might call it a coincidence. ______39______ The fact that it was also a Wheat penny proved what I already knew—it was him. It could have easily been put aside with the clothes, but it found its way to me.
Later, I was talking to my neighbor and told him the story. ______40______ However, a few days later, he came over with a bag of pennies he had. Inside it, he found two more 1928 Wheat pennies—one for each of my sisters. Our father is no longer with us, but he is still here.
A. He passed the habit on to me.
B. I figured he wouldn’t think any more of it.
C. To me, it was my father handing me the coin.
D. Old coins carried the quiet weight of the past.
E. Collecting coins was one of his greatest interests.
F. It specifically involved a 1928 coin—the year he was born.
G. His soft words and warm hands supported me through my youth.

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。
David, a senior high school student, hated weekly PE class. Not because he didn’t like sports, but because even a short run would leave him breathless. At 16, he weighed over 100 kilograms. He tried dieting several times, only to quit within a week.
Ms. Clark, the school doctor, had long noticed David’s problems. At every health check, his condition worsened: high blood pressure, high blood lipids（高血脂）and knee pain. She advised him on healthy eating and exercise. “My knees hurt,” he would say. Or “I’m just too busy with my school work.” Sometimes he blamed the canteen food, other times, the exam stress. However, Ms. Clark noticed the other side of David. She’d often spot him buried in textbooks in the library. She’d also hear teachers praise him for being active in group projects—a contrast to his give-up attitude towards fitness.
One day, Ms. Clark read a story about a teacher who treated her slow history class as an honors class. Believing the students were “gifted”, she pushed them harder—and they all made great progress. Inspired, Ms. Clark decided to try something similar. She selected five overweight students, including David, and formed a special group. “From today on,” she announced, “you are my honors health class. We’ll work together and you are expected to lose at least 10 kilograms and improve your fitness by the end of this semester.” David let out a laugh, “I’ve failed so many times.” “That’s because you expected to fail,” Ms. Clark said firmly. “But honors students don’t quit.” She taught them how to keep a food diary and how to do simple exercise.
David lost 1.5 kilograms in the first week—more than he had lost in the past two years combined. However, three weeks into the program, disaster struck. It was mid-term exam week. David stayed up late every night, snacking on instant noodles and cookies. At the weekly weigh-in, he regained all the weight he’d lost—plus half a kilogram. He stood silently before the group, his face burning with shame.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ms. Clark pulled David aside and said, “I’m still proud of you.”

Dear Chris,
Knowing that you are curious about my reading ways, I’m glad to share my preference with you.
Personally, I prefer mobile reading to traditional paper books. For one thing, it is extremely convenient. I can read novels or listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere. For another, various online reading resources are free to access, which saves my money. Though it may strain my eyes, proper rest can solve the problem.
What is your favorite reading way Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

Ms. Clark pulled David aside and said, “I’m still proud of you.” Staring at her gentle and sincere eyes, David froze, overcome with guilt. He lowered his head and mumbled that he felt like a failure again. Ms. Clark patted his shoulder softly and explained that setbacks were inevitable on the way to progress. What truly mattered was not temporary failure, but whether he dared to start over. She reminded him of his initial efforts and encouraged him to forgive himself for the mistake. Deeply touched, David made up his mind to get back on track.
The following week, David stood confidently with his group at the weigh-in. He strictly stuck to healthy diets and kept doing daily exercise after the mid-term exam. Instead of staying up late for snacks, he arranged his study time reasonably. His persistent efforts finally paid off. The scale showed that he lost two kilograms this week. A bright smile spread across his face. Thanks to Ms. Clark’s encouragement, David realized that perseverance was the key to success, and he would never give up on himself again.

M: The trevally is good at spotting small fish hiding in the coral. Since the sea snake’s body is thin, it can swim inside the coral and drive the small fish out. The trevally catches the ones that try to escape, and the snake gets whatever is left behind.
W: That’s such smart teamwork! Oh, it’s getting dark. Let’s head back to the hotel now.
Text 10
Good morning, everyone. I recently returned from Churchill, a cold town on the western shore of Hudson Bay in Canada. I want to talk about how global warming is changing the way wildlife lives with people.
Churchill is known as the polar bear capital of the world. Every autumn, when temperatures drop, polar bears gather near the town. But since the 1980s, their numbers have fallen by half. This drop is directly linked to how long the bay stays ice-free. As the planet warms, the sea stays ice-free for longer. Polar bears need ice to hunt seals. Less ice means less food, and this can lead to conflicts with humans.
Bears now spend about a month longer on land than before. Although attacks don't happen very often, they are increasing. Local people have had to change their habits. Many people no longer walk alone at night.
As young people, you will face the results of these changes. So here’s our question for today’s class discussion: How can we protect both polar bears and local communities
【答案解析】
A篇主题语境：人与社会——旅游与交通
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了丝绸之路古城希瓦的旅游概况，包括其历史地位、2026年即将开通的高铁带来的交通改善、主要景点分布、特色美食、最佳旅游时间以及住宿选择等。
第21题.C 细节理解。解析：根据文章第一段中“Khiva has long been relatively difficult to access... But 2026 is the year when that changes. A new bullet train service is launching.”可知，希瓦长期交通不便，而2026年将开通新的高铁服务，从而显著改善通达性，这正是转折点所在。故选C。
第22题.D 细节理解。解析：文章在介绍景点时明确提到，努鲁拉博伊宫“Unlike the other landmarks, it is to the northwest of the walled city.”，即与其他位于伊钦卡拉内城的地标不同，它位于城墙外的西北方向。故选D。
第23题.D 主旨大意。解析：文章从希瓦的地理历史背景切入，重点介绍了2026年的交通新变化，并依次列出主要景点、饮食、气候节日及住宿等信息，构成对希瓦旅游的全面概述。故选D。
B篇主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习
【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲的是作者通过自己的职业经历和辅导学生、专业人士时的观察，指出现代人常常追逐光鲜的职业目标，却忽略了这些目标带来的日常是否自己真的喜欢，并探讨了“到达谬误”这一现象，最终提出雄心壮志需要扎根于对日常生活的真实理解。
第24题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第一段最后两句“They have thought about what role they want, but they haven’t yet thought about how it fits with the activities they like to do and the people they care about.”可知，人们无法描述“平凡的星期二”，是因为他们只想过要什么职位，但从未想过这个职位具体包含哪些日常工作、是否符合自己喜欢做的事。换言之，他们并不了解那份工作真正涉及什么。故选D。
第25题.C 细节理解。解析：根据第二段可知，作者早年为了想要的升职经常加班到深夜，独自吃冷掉的外卖，疲惫到没力气给家人打电话，甚至不记得午饭吃了什么。这充分说明他的早期职业生涯是由目标驱动的但令人精疲力竭。故选C。
第26题.D 词义猜测。解析：根据第三段中“The former belief that lasting fulfillment waits at the finish line is what psychologists call the ‘arrival fallacy.’”可知，“到达谬误”指的是人们错误地认为，一旦达到目标、冲过终点线，持久的满足感和幸福感就会到来。即认为幸福会在目标完成后降临。故选D。
第27题.A 观点态度。解析：根据最后一段“I am not to discourage ambition, but it needs a reality check. Our everyday isn’t a means to a few milestones. Life is enjoyed through the ordinary Tuesdays we spend living it.”可知，作者并不否定雄心壮志，但强调它必须经过现实的检验，要根植于具体的日常生活。即作者认为雄心壮志应以真实的生活为基础。故选A。
C篇主题语境：人与自我——认识自我与大脑的可塑性
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是通过脑成像实验揭示观鸟专长会重塑大脑结构，并可能帮助建立认知储备、延缓认知衰老。
第28题.A 段落主旨大意。解析：第二段首先指出学习技能时大脑会自我重组，并引出“神经可塑性”这一关键概念，然后以专业音乐家为例加以说明，目的是介绍这一科学概念，为下文观鸟实验做理论铺垫，而非单纯描述音乐家的大脑变化或学习过程中的改变。故选A。
第29题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第三段实验描述，“participants were shown an image of a bird … they were asked to identify the same bird in one of four images”可知，参与者需要从四幅图中识别出之前看过的那只鸟，即挑选出之前展示的鸟，故选D。
第30题.B 词义猜测。解析：画线词所在句的前文提到专家的相关脑区“appeared more structurally complex and organised”，且全文围绕神经可塑性展开，即大脑结构和功能会随着学习而改变。由此可推知，building expertise in birding会“改变大脑结构”，reconfigures意为“重新配置，改变……的结构”。故选B。
第31题.A 写作目的。解析：文章以专家和新手观鸟时的大脑差异引入，阐述神经可塑性概念，详述观鸟实验及发现，最终落脚于观鸟能重塑大脑、可能有助于建立认知储备以抵抗衰老，全文始终围绕观鸟如何影响人的认知展开，故主要目的是解释观鸟活动对人类认知的影响。故选A。
D篇主题语境：人与自我——心理健康与积极应对
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项综合认知偏差与基因研究的新项目，探讨人们在面对生活挑战时或“茁壮成长”或“苦苦挣扎”的内在机制，并指出该研究有望为心理障碍提供个性化治疗。
第32题.C 细节理解。解析：根据第一段“A new research project is now investigating the cognitive and genetic mechanisms that cause some people to flourish and others to struggle.”可知，新研究聚焦的是导致人们在挑战面前表现不同的认知与基因机制，即对挑战的响应机制。故选C。
第33题.B 推理判断。解析：根据第二段，以往认为某些基因在经历负面事件时易致人焦虑抑郁，但新研究发现这些基因在支持性环境中反而能带来益处；通过对比“负面环境”与“支持环境”下同一类基因的不同效应，研究者才意识到应将其称为“敏感性基因”。因此是“通过比较不同情况”得出的认识。故选B。
第34题.B 细节理解。解析：根据第三段“All of our brains are naturally tuned into negativity for evolutionary reasons—it’s more important to spot a predator than food”可知，对负面信息敏感是因为大脑为了生存而内置的进化机制，即“内置的生存模式”。故选B。
第35题.C 推理判断。解析：根据最后一段“the possibility of developing much more personalized treatment options for psychological disorders”和“tailor treatments for individuals”可推知，这项研究的成果最可能让有心理健康状况的人受益。故选C。
七选五主题语境：人与社会——家庭亲情
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者在父亲的影响下养成收集硬币的爱好，并在父亲去世后，通过意外发现其出生年份的小麦便士，真切感受到父爱从未走远的故事。
第36题.E 上下文衔接与代词指代。解析：空前说父亲一生有很多爱好，空后提到“He loved talking about them to anyone who would listen.”，句中的“them”显然指代某种爱好。选项E“Collecting coins was one of his greatest interests.”具体点出集币这一爱好，既承接上文“many hobbies”，又为下文“them”提供了明确指代对象，且与后文寻找小麦便士的内容自然衔接。故选E。
第37题.A 段落过渡与逻辑推进。解析：上一段尾句提及父亲热爱集币，本空后立即描写“我”总是留意便士、寻找“Wheaties”的细节，可见这是父亲爱好的延续。选项A“He passed the habit on to me.”说明父亲将这一习惯传给了我，在逻辑上完成了从父亲爱好到“我”的行为的过渡，使叙述合理连贯。故选A。
第38题.F 情节线索与前后照应。解析：空前作者在父亲弥留之际低声说“我需要一个信号”，空后第二天便从父亲旧衣物中掉出一枚1928年小麦便士。选项F“It specifically involved a 1928 coin—the year he was born.”补充说明了“信号”的具体内容——与父亲出生年份1928年相关的硬币，恰与下文发现的硬币年份完美契合，形成前后照应。故选F。
第39题.C 对比逻辑与主观态度。解析：空前说“有些人可能会称之为巧合”，空后则说“这也是一枚小麦便士，证明了我早已知道的事——那就是他”。上下文存在“别人认为是巧合”与“我认定是父亲”的对比。选项C“To me, it was my father handing me the coin.”用“To me”鲜明突出作者的主观感受，与前面的“Some might call it…”形成对照，并自然引出下文的肯定结论。故选C。
第40题.B 转折关系与语境推理。解析：空前提到作者把这件事讲给邻居听，空后以“However”转折，说邻居几天后拿来一袋硬币并找到另外两枚1928年小麦便士。选项B“I figured he wouldn’t think any more of it.”表示作者原以为邻居听过便不会在意，这与后文邻居用心寻找并有所发现的转折逻辑完全吻合，说明这件事以出乎意料的方式延续着父亲的爱。故选B。
