A Small Act Warms My Heart
Just as a proverb goes, “Kindness is the sunshine that warms the heart.” An experience of mine fully illustrates the power of small acts of kindness.
One rainy afternoon, I was stuck at the canteen without an umbrella, feeling anxious. My deskmate Bob, who noticed my trouble, immediately walked over, shared his umbrella with me and chatted gently to comfort me. His warmth quickly drove away the coldness of the rain.
This small act set me reflecting deeply. Kindness doesn’t lie in great deeds but in ordinary daily gestures. Only when everyone offers a helping hand, can we make our campus warmer and more harmonious.

Slowly, the garden started to take shape. The muddy puddles disappeared, replaced by neat, small flower beds. The most eye-catching were the sunflowers. The empty ground was now covered with soft and green grass. We built a simple winding path using bricks and stones we found. The thrown-away furniture was gone, and in its place stood the new wooden bench and a small fence painted white. A young tree was planted in one corner, its new leaves gently swaying in the wind. Birds and butterflies started visiting, adding life and movement. The once dirty place was now full of life and beauty.
The garden quickly became a favorite spot for our community. Every afternoon after school, children would run straight here to play. They loved chasing each other along the path, watching butterflies, or simply lying on the grass to look at the clouds. Parents sat on the bench or on mats, talking and laughing, while their children played nearby. Mr. Wilson was almost always there, patiently watering the plants. The garden was no longer just a place with plants; it became the one where people shared stories and built friendships. It taught us all that by working together, we could create not just a beautiful garden, but a warmer and closer community.广东2026届八校高三4月联考试题

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
While ball games and chess dominate the spotlight, some unusual sports remain off the radar but they’re just as thrilling! These activities not only lift your spirits but also bring back the true essence of sports: FUN! Here are four fascinating examples:
Quidditch
Inspired by J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, this magical game is now a real international sport. Each team has seven players, and every player must keep a broom between their legs from start to bining elements of rugby and dodgeball, it’s called “Muggle Quidditch” since non-magical folks play it without magic.
Yubi Lakpi
This traditional Indian game resembles football, but with a twist — players use a coconut instead of a ball. Two teams compete to carry the coconut into the opponent’s goal area. To make the game more challenging, players apply oil to their bodies, making them slippery and hard to grab. Tough enough Give it a try!
Zorbing
Imagine rolling downhill inside a giant plastic ball. That’s zorbing! It first originated in New Zealand in the 1990s and has grown into a popular outdoor adventure activity around the world. Usually done on gentle slopes or flat ground, it’s more about the joy of rolling than competition. Perfect for a fun day out with friends!
Toe Wrestling
Yes, it’s real and it even has a World Championship! Similar to arm wrestling, opponents try to pin each other’s toes down for three seconds. Matches alternate between left and right feet, with the best of three rounds deciding the winner. So kick off your shoes and socks. It’s toe-wrestling time!
1. What must Quidditch players do throughout the game
A. Control the team with magic.
B. Pass a rugby ball to other folks.
C. Hold a broom between their legs.
D. Obey rules from the Harry Potter series.
2. How do players make it difficult for the opposing team in Yubi Lakpi
A. By wetting the fields.
B. By oiling themselves.
C. By polishing the coconuts.
D. By blocking the opponents.
3. What do Zorbing and Toe Wrestling have in common
A. Both take place on gentle slopes.
B. Both involve close-body contact.
C. Both qualify as championship events.
D. Both feature fun-oriented recreation.
B
Gathering ingredients for my favorite sandwich takes time. Certainly more than 10 seconds — the time my fridge allows me to quietly search inside. After those 10 seconds, a series of ear-piercing beeps begin — an alarm to remind forgetful humans to close its doors. My suspicion is that the alarm, which cannot be neutralized, was designed to stop my late-night search in the fridge — my wife has long warned me that midnight snacking is bad for my waistline.
The frightened fridge is just one example of the creations by engineer-designers who are convinced that seniors like me can’t survive without beeping reminders. My car beeps constantly, particularly when I get out. There is simply no way to stop it. At first, I thought the car was just too sad to see me go.
It is not just the fridge and the car. Once I started paying attention, I realized our environment is filled with reminder noises. The stove (炉灶) sings too — leave a burner on and it performs its own little concert. As for my phone, even after turning off every notification I can find, calendar reminders still get through.
So I went online looking for a solution — and found a video of an equally frustrated man taking apart the beeper on the exact same fridge model. I can handle the fix. But now the question is: Do I really want to What if I leave the fridge door partly open and ruin a costly roast What if I miss the notification that reminds me of an appointment I may forget The consequences of an unbeeped life may be too serious to risk.
Finally, tool in hand, I stand before the fridge. If there were a silence option, I might leave it alone. But there isn’t — and I’ve had enough. I’ll remove the noise-maker and put a sticky note on the door instead, reminding me to close it. The reward of a successful late-night search for a delicious sandwich is definitely worth it.
4. What does the underlined word “neutralized” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Used. B. Heard. C. Disabled. D. Repaired.
5. The stove and phone are mentioned to illustrate that ________.
A. elderly people have a failing memory
B. modern machines are poorly designed
C. technology changes seniors’ living habits
D. beeping alarms are unavoidable in daily life
6. What can be inferred about the author from paragraph 4
A. He fails to find a way to stop the noise.
B. He considers the online video unhelpful.
C. He worries about life without reminders.
D. He is unable to fix the fridge by himself.
7. What does the author finally decide to do about the fridge
A. Buy a much quieter fridge. B. Tolerate the disturbing noise.
C. Avoid late-night searches in it. D. Replace the alarm with a note.
C
Chaotan One, the world’s first commercial power generator that uses supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO ), has begun operations in China. This achievement breaks a century-old tradition of using steam for power generation, marking a major improvement in efficiency.
The invention of the steam engine was a first step towards the Industrial Revolution that changed the world. Over the years, the engine’s efficiency was further improved through different designs and fuels; however, the medium for doing work remained the same-steam.
Scientists seeking further improvements in power efficiency noticed that a significant portion of energy is wasted generating steam to drive turbines (涡轮机). Water needs to be boiled first and needs to undergo a phase change to generate steam. Scientists have been looking for a better medium to replace steam.
They found this in sCO . CO exists as a gas at room temperature and can be cooled to form dry ice by reducing pressure and lowering temperature. When temperature is raised to 31℃, and pressure is increased to 7.37 MPa, CO enters its supercritical state, where it exhibits properties of both a liquid and a gas. In applications such as moving a turbine, this is extremely useful since the gas-like state offers less resistance while the liquid-like state provides greater push power.
The power generation process works like this: The CO is first pressurized into a supercritical state. Then the sCO passes through a heat exchanger, absorbing heat from an external heat source, and its temperature rises to 400-600℃ with a substantial increase in internal energy. After that, it enters a turbine and expands rapidly, driving it to move at a high speed and transforming thermal (热的) energy into mechanical energy, which is then further turned into electrical energy for output. The CO remains in a supercritical state throughout the entire process, with no phase change loss.
The success of the Chaotan One will likely start a new era in power generation, using CO as a medium and bypassing the need to transform water into steam.
8. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A. Highlight the value of steam. B. Applaud the past contributions.
C. Outline the Industrial Revolution. D. State the background of a new discovery.
9. What is the biggest problem with steam power generation
A. Energy-intensive. B. Labor-demanding.
C. Noise-producing. D. Money-consuming.
10. What plays a key role in the high efficiency of Chaotan One
A. The durability of turbines. B. The quick commercialization of generators.
C. The easy availability of CO . D. The continuity of CO ’s supercritical state.
11. What is true about supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO ) according to the text
A. It exists only as a pure gas when in its supercritical state.
B. It can reach its supercritical state at room temperature and normal pressure.
C. It combines the low resistance of a gas-like state with the strong power of a liquid-like state.
D. It undergoes a phase change from gas to liquid during the power generation process.
D
Have you ever found someone copying your gestures or facial expressions during a conversation This is the Chameleon (变色龙) Effect, the nonconscious mimicry (模仿) of others’ behaviors. Just like a chameleon integrates into its environment, people unconsciously mimic others’ gestures, mannerisms or accents to build connections and smooth interactions, which is a common yet easily overlooked human trait.
Psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand proved the Chameleon Effect in a 1999 experiment. They asked 78 participants to talk with experimenters during a personality test. To avoid conscious mimicry, researchers used photos as a distraction during conversations. The results showed participants unconsciously increased face touching by 20% and foot movement by 50% to match the experimenters. Another part found people who were mimicked rated the experimenters more positively, showing mimicry boosts likability. The Chameleon Effect stems from two main reasons. It is rooted in human empathy — people mimic others to share feelings and build emotional bonds. It also evolved as a survival trait: fitting in with a group helps people gain support and avoid danger. In daily life, this explains why couples or close friends gradually adopt similar speech habits or gestures.
This effect also appears in speech and social settings. People may unconsciously pick up others’ accents or phrases after long interactions. For example, a football player once accidentally used a French accent during an interview after living in France for months, a typical display of the effect. However, excessive mimicry may make people lose their sense of self. Such over-mimicry can lead to confusion about one’s true personality.
Overall, the Chameleon Effect is a positive social tool that promotes connection and empathy. It helps reduce social tension and build trust between people. While it helps people integrate into groups, balancing mimicry with self-identity is crucial to avoiding losing oneself in social interactions. With this awareness, people can use the effect wisely while preserving their own uniqueness.
12. Which of the following is an example of the “Chameleon Effect”
A. A girl copies her deskmate’s movements.
B. A driver follows a policeman’s directions.
C. An applicant learns the judge’s expressions by heart.
D. An assistant practices a foreigner’s tones on purpose.
13. What can be inferred about the “Chameleon Effect” from paragraph 2
A. Personality changes with conscious mimicry.
B. Likability increases mimicry in conversations.
C. People mimic others to gain group acceptance.
D. Mimicry arouses shared feelings between couples.
14. What is the downside of excessive mimicry
A. The loss of self-identity.
B. An end to true connection.
C. The failure of mutual trust.
D. A decrease in social tension.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the “Chameleon Effect”
A. Doubtful. B. Critical.
C. Dismissive. D. Cautious.

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。
It all started when I walked to a quiet corner of my neighborhood one afternoon. To my disappointment, I found an empty lot overgrown with weeds, where old furniture had been left and rainwater had gathered in muddy puddles (小水坑) on the ground. I stood there for a while, feeling sad about this wasted space. Then an idea came to me — what if we could turn this messy place into a small garden for everyone
That evening, I sent a message in our neighborhood chat group. I explained my plan and invited people to join me. Hours passed, but only two neighbors sent short replies saying “A good idea.” I felt a little discouraged. Just when I was about to give up, my phone lit up with a private message. It was from Mr. Wilson, an elderly man who lived alone in Building 3. I knew him by sight but had never spoken to him before. His message read: “I have some gardening tools and a few flower seeds. Can I help you ” I sent him a message, saying, “Yes. That's absolutely great.”
We met at the empty lot the next Saturday morning. Mr. Wilson brought not only tools but also a small hand- drawn map. He pointed and said, “We can plant sunflowers here because they love sunlight, and we can put some easy- to- grow flowers near the path.” I was surprised by his knowledge. As we started cleaning together, he shared stories about the small garden he used to keep in his hometown. I realized he missed those days deeply.
During the following weeks, we worked every weekend. The work was not easy. We had to remove the rubbish, clear the deep weeds and fill the muddy puddles with soil. Mr. Wilson showed me how to properly plant the seeds and water them. As we worked, more neighbors became interested. A young girl offered to paint signs for the garden; an old lady shared her gardening tips; and a couple helped build a simple fence.
