Throwing oneself in native plants may not seem like a recipe for success as a social media influencer. But meet Kyle Lybarger.
It all started with what Lybarger now recognizes as a terrible mistake. About a decade ago, he was managing a private forest where the owner let him hunt. The land included an open area, where he decided to plant food for wildlife. He sprayed（喷洒）it with herbicide（除草剂）, put down seeds and cut down some trees to let in more light. In the dry, shallow soil, the seeds didn’t take. But around the edges of the area, where he hadn’t sprayed or seeded, the additional sunlight released a beautiful surprise. “I came back up the next summer and it was just like color everywhere, really crazy-looking plants,” says Lybarger. “I feel like I should know what this plant is.”
After he posted photos of the flowers on Facebook, an expert pointed out some rare and endangered species. Lybarger realized that he had killed off an area with a wild seed bank of countless species that were ideal for attracting wildlife, all in order to plant two or three species that weren’t part of the native ecosystem.
Lybarger, a forester by training, found a mission: to save these native species. In a state where more than 90% of the land is privately owned, that has meant knocking on doors to speak with landowners who are unknowing hosts to rare plants. One morning last spring found Lybarger chatting with Pat Eaton, who has a spot of endangered glade cress growing on her family's property. A few miles away, Lybarger pointed out another endangered species that his social media followers had been instrumental in protecting.
Lybarger thinks his biggest contribution comes through education on social media, influencing people to grow the native plants that best support declining pollinators（传粉昆虫）and other insects. “One person, one yard, one- tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think,” he says.
24. What was Lybarger’s mistake
A. He mixed seeds up. B. He removed the soil.
C. He posted photos online. D. He killed native species.
25. Why did Lybarger visit landowners
A. To purchase their properties. B. To protect private land plants.
C. To teach planting skills. D. To seek hunting permission.
26. What does Lybarger do through social media
A. Keep track of his daily work. B. Build up his reputation.
C. Educate people about local plants. D. Offer professional training.
27. What is the text about
A. A forester’s mission shift.
B. A herbicide spraying method.
C. Endangered plant species.
D. Tips for becoming an influencer.

A huge and beautifully preserved set of fossils（化石）discovered in China has cast doubt on the idea that complex life dramatically flourished during a rapid burst of evolution known as the Cambrian（寒武纪）explosion. This event, extending from roughly 541 million to 513 million years ago, is when most of the animal groups alive today are thought to have first appeared.
In the previous period, known as the Ediacaran, it was thought that life was much less complex. But that is contradicted by the new fossil find in Yunnan province, known as the Jiangchuan biota, which includes more than 700 fossils dating from 554 to 537 million years ago.
“The discovery shows that Cambrian-type animal communities did not appear suddenly, but already had clear foundations and transitional forms by the end of the Ediacaran,” says Gaorong Li at Yunnan University in Kunming, China, who led the team behind the discovery.
The researchers found a range of creatures, of which only a few examples have been found before. Some of the fossils have been identified as cambroernids（寒武岐须虫类）, which weren’t known to exist before the Cambrian. The most common fossil the team found is an animal that fixed itself to the sea bed at one end and had a tube-like structure that could be extended outward at the other end.
These animals already possess key features seen in modern animals, but the way these structures are combined is unlike that of most animals living today. In other words, although their overall appearance is strange, they still possess the basic body parts seen in modern animals. “Although these fossils suggest certain animal groups were present prior to the Cambrian period, they don’t invalidate the idea of the Cambrian explosion,” says Joe Moysiuk at Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg, Canada. “Rather, they enable us to better determine the likely timing of this evolutionary explosion.”
28. What does the underlined word “flourished” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Gathered around. B. Died out. C. Sprang up. D. Slowed down.
29. Which picture can illustrate the animal in paragraph 4
A. B. C. D.
30. What can we learn about the discovery
A. It pushes back the origin of complex life.
B. It overturns the idea of the Cambrian explosion.
C. It explains the formation of animal fossils
D. It denies modern features of early life.
31. What is the text
A. A literature review. B. A travel brochure.
C. A news report. D. A science fiction.
D
Curiously, I have been speaking with experts in AI lately. These people are absorbed in building powerful technological tools, but they want to keep their humanity. They’ve got me thinking. If creativity and innovation are accelerating（加速）faster than ever, what ensures they serve the greater good A recent psychological study suggests one direction: wisdom.
According to neuropsychiatrist Dilip Jeste, features of wisdom include prosocial attitudes, self-awareness and reflection, emotional stability, and balancing decisiveness with uncertainty. These are not features we normally associate with innovation. But new research suggests they may shape whether creativity benefits others or not
Researchers found that wisdom functions as a moral compass for creativity. Across two studies, creativity did not reliably predict prosocial behavior on its own. In one experiment, highly creative participants who scored lower in wisdom were less willing to help another person in a moral-emergency situation. Among participants higher in wisdom, creativity was instead associated with more socially mindful responses. One way to think of the implications here is that creativity generates possibilities, but wisdom helps determine which possibilities serve others rather than ourselves alone.
There is a concern that human thinking can become more “computationalized”—more procedural, efficiency-driven, and emotionally cold. The more we interact with computational systems, the easier it becomes to treat human problems as technical problems.
How do we develop wisdom then Ironically（讽刺地）, the answer may lie in a field often under attack: the humanities. Daniela Amodei, cofounder of Anthropic, recently suggested that studying the humanities may become more important than ever in an AI-driven world. When hiring, she said the company looks for people with strong communication skills, empathy, curiosity, and the ability to understand human behavior, capacities often developed through the humanities. Literature, philosophy, and history expose us to moral dilemmas（困境）and human complexity.
Socrates said, “Wisdom begins in wonder.” Wisdom may be one of the deeper expressions of wonder—the capacity to reflect, and consider how our actions affect others. In an age of acceleration, that capacity keeps our humanness fully alive.
32. Why does the author mention AI experts in paragraph 1
A. To present a fact. B. To lead into a topic.
C. To clarify a concept. D. To explain a phenomenon.
33. What is the role of wisdom in creativity
A. It generates novel ideas. B. It predicts social emergencies
C. It ensures personal reflection. D. It guides moral direction.
34. Which statement will Daniela Amodei probably agree with
A. Humanistic disciplines are crucial. B. Employees with AI skills are favored.
C. AI innovation needs new perspectives. D. Technology is a byproduct of humanity.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Are Humanities More Valuable Than AI Skills B. Is Wisdom Harder to Learn Than Creativity
C. Are Moral Dilemmas the Test of Creativity D. Is Creativity Enough in the Age of AI

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。
In the spring of 2022, after a depressing 58-loss season, the Oklahoma City Thunder sat near the bottom of the NBA standings. _____36_____ In just three seasons it rocketed from the bottom to the top of the league. How does a team improve so quickly That question isn’t just about basketball. It’s about how any group can learn, adapt, and succeed in an age of accelerated change.
During the past few years, my colleagues and I have been investigating a question: What do the best teams do differently _____37_____ And we collected detailed data on how their teams set priorities, make decisions, and cooperate. To identify members of high-performing teams, we had workers rate their team’s effectiveness and industry performance. Those rated highest were called “superteams”.
_____38_____ Superteams share three key strengths. Firstly, they get more done by managing time, energy, and attention more efficiently. Secondly, their members actively make one another better. Thirdly, they’re constantly building new skills and improving over time.
It is that last strength that the Thunder has clearly mastered. _____39_____ It’s part of a pattern that has defined the organization since it moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. After its arrival, the team entered a full rebuild, putting long- term progress before instant results. Yet in just four seasons it reached the NBA Finals, in 2012.
The Thunder’s story is a reminder that success grows from the pursuit of improvement, the decisive leaders who spot and solve problems, and the motivated teams that cooperate well. Those are the habits that turn good teams into superteams. _____40_____
A. But something remarkable happened.
B. They work together towards the same goal.
C. Its rapid rise over the past few years is not an accident.
D. We found that superteam leaders are more likely to support employees.
E. Any team can develop them, whether in basketball, business, or beyond.
F. To find out, we surveyed over 6,000 knowledge workers across various industries.
G. Among those superteams, the secret to high performance looked remarkably similar.

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。
Tom was the boy who never got called on. In class, he pressed himself against the chair, hoping to be invisible. When the teacher asked a question, his eyes dropped to the desk. Reading was worse. Words on a page seemed to swim away from him. He would stare at a sentence for minutes, his throat tight. His classmates turned pages with ease. He got stuck on the first page, struggling with every word.
Mr. Kirui, the school principal, noticed. Instead of leaving him to sink, he did something small. After school one day, he found Tom sitting alone by the library window, running his fingers over the table. “Come with me,” he said quietly. “No pressure.”
The library smelled of old paper and dust. Sunlight streamed through the blinds. Mr. Kirui pulled out a pile of thin books—picture books, early readers, stories with big letters and white space. Tom’s face burned. “These are for little kids,” he mumbled（嘟哝）, staring at his shoes. “Trust me,” Mr. Kirui said. “Start here.”
Tom opened the first one. His finger traced（追踪）the lines. He read aloud, slowly, tripping over easy words. Mr. Kirui never corrected him. He just leaned back and listened. Day after day, after class they sat in the same corner)—the one by the window where the light fell soft. Tom’s voice grew steadier. He started to ask questions about the stories. He borrowed books without being asked. One afternoon, Mr. Kirui watched him read a full page without stopping. The boy didn’t even notice the principal’s smile.
A week later, the school announced a Read Out Loud Competition, where students could choose their own reading materials. “Any volunteer ” The teacher asked. Hands shot up. Tom’s heart raced. His hand lifted slightly and then fell back to his lap.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150左右；

After class, Tom found Mr. Kirui in the library.
On competition day, Tom stepped onto the stage with a thin book.厦门市2026届高中毕业班第三次适应性练习

Possible Version 1
Dear Chris,
Learning that you are interested in our school's Science and Technology Festival, I am thrilled to share some details with you
The festival featured a variety of activities, ranging from science lectures to innovation competitions. The most distinctive part was the drone racing competition. Participants operated small sports drones through obstacle courses at high speed, showing the charm of this technological innovation.
This breathtaking activity left me in amazement. It made me realize the role technology plays in changing and enriching our lives and sparked my passion for exploring science.
Yours,
Li Hua
Possible Version 2
Dear Chris,
Thrilled to hear from you!Our Science and Technology Festival was a great success, and I’m eager to share some highlights
The centerpiece was the 3D Printing Workshop. We transformed imaginative sketches into digital models on computers, and then watched the printer move precisely to bring them to life layer by layer.
This hands-on experience was incredibly rewarding. It not only boosted my spatial thinking but also reinforced my belief in “learning by doing.”
Hope this helps!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 One Possible Version
After class, Tom found Mr. Kirui in the library. Staring at his shoes, he expressed his wish to join, his throat tight. “But they'll laugh at my thin book,” he whispered. Mr. Kirui patted his shoulder gently. “Just read it well. That’s enough.” Encouraged by the principal’s warm words, Tom finally signed up. Every afternoon, he returned to the sunlit corner, reading the same pages aloud repeatedly. With Mr. Kirui listening quietly nearby, Tom’s once shaky voice gradually grew firm, ready for the stage.
On competition day, Tom stepped onto the stage, thin book in hand. Facing the crowd, he swallowed hard. He began with a trembling whisper, but soon his voice steadied. Absorbed in the familiar story, Tom turned the pages with ease, the words no longer swimming away. Finishing the last sentence without a single pause, he met deafening applause. In the audience, Mr. Kirui nodded with a proud smile. Standing in the spotlight, Tom realized the once invisible boy had finally stepped out of the shadows, full of true confidence.

W: I worry that if students over-rely on AI for tasks like writing essays, their own creative thinking might stop developing.
M: Yeah, but AI is just a tool. The real issue is guidance.
W: I see. So it’s more about how it’s used
M: Exactly. If it’s used to pretend to do all the thinking, yes, it discourages creativity. Used properly, it can improve it
W: True. The key is responsible use-like coming up with ideas to then compare and expand, not to replace the thinking process itself.

W: You’re bleeding! What happened
M: I slipped and fell against the door-the handle cut me.
W: It looks serious. You should go to the hospital.
M: No, I’ll just clean it and put a dressing on it. It’ll be fine.
W: Take this towel and keep pressure on it. Are you sure you don’t want to go to hospital
M: Let’s stop the bleeding and clean it first, then we can have a proper look.
W: It’s quite a big cut. At least we need to check that there’s no dirt or anything inside it.
M: Yeah, but you know what it’s like in the hospital. We’ll have to wait for hours.
W: If it gets worse, you’ll have a serious problem.
M: Hmm, you’re right. Let’s put a dressing on it, then we can go.

M: So, what’s your favourite app at the moment
W: My favourite app is Plant Nanny.
M: Really Does it help you look after plants
W: No, it reminds you to drink enough water, so you don’t get thirsty.
M: Do you really need an app for that How does it work
W: You download the app and input some personal information such as your height, your weight and your level of physical activity and Plant Nanny tells you how much water you should be drinking.
M: Right...
W: Then you choose a virtual plant. Each time you drink water, you tap the screen, and the app records it. Basically, if you drink enough water, your virtual plant will grow.
M: Does it send you annoying reminders all the time
W: You do get reminders from time to time. I think they’re helpful-but you can disable them if you like. The plants are really cute. You should try it!

W: For Scientific American’s Science Quickly, I am Kendra Pierre. Scientists have added the first insect to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance’s Frozen Zoo in California. Researchers successfully collected cells of the critically endangered Lord Howe Island stick insect and added them to the biological bank, which is dedicated to protecting and preserving the world’s wildlife. The Lord Howe Island stick insect is a large, flightless creature without a backbone. It can be found only on a small group of islands in Australia. They were considered extinct in the wild in 1930, but a tiny population was rediscovered in 2001. The Melbourne Zoo in Australia led the effort to preserve the species and partnered with the San Diego Zoo in 2012. The Frozen Zoo, which was established in 1975, also holds samples from more than 1,300 species and subspecies of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and plants. The samples are frozen using a method called cryopreservation and stored at -320°F. Scientists could one day revive the cells to stop a species from going extinct.

第21题.A 细节理解。解析：根据“How Inspired Gifts work”部分的步骤，第一步“Select an Inspired Gift”之后，第二步是“Choose and personalize your gift card.”，即选择并个性化你的礼物卡。因此决定礼物后买家应选择礼物卡。故选A。
第22题.B 细节理解。解析：根据礼物清单中“Health Worker Kit（卫生工作者包）”的价格为“$70”，其他选项价格均高于70美元，因此至少需要支付70美元。故选B。
第23题.D 主旨大意。解析：新生儿欢迎包旨在预防感染和呼吸困难，卫生工作者包提供个人防护装备，疫苗超级包用于对抗可预防的疾病，水泵帮助获取安全水以减少疾病风险。四个礼物的共同聚焦点是预防疾病，故选D。
B篇主题语境：人与自然——自然保护
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是护林员Kyle Lybarger因一次失误发现本土植物的珍贵，从而将使命从种植外来作物转变为通过社交媒体教育人们保护本土植物并以此为事业的故事。
第24题.D 细节理解和推断能力。解析：根据文章第二段，Lybarger为了种植野生动物食物，喷洒除草剂、翻土播种并砍树，但由于土壤原因没有成功，反而在他未处理的区域边缘长出了色彩斑斓的本土植物。随后专家指出其中有一些是稀有濒危物种，Lybarger才意识到自己原本为了种植两三样非本土物种，“消灭了一片蕴藏着无数物种、对吸引野生动物来说非常理想的野生种子库区域”(killed off an area with a wild seed bank of countless species...)。因此，他的错误是杀死了本土物种。故选D。
第25题.B 细节理解。解析：根据文章第四段，Lybarger发现自己的使命是拯救本土物种，且在他所在的州，90%以上的土地为私人所有，因此他需要“挨家挨户地敲门，与那些在自家土地上无意中成为稀有植物宿主的地主交谈”(knocking on doors to speak with landowners who are unknowing hosts to rare plants)。可见他拜访地主是为了保护其私人土地上的植物。故选B。
第26题.C 推理判断。解析：根据最后一段，“Lybarger认为他最大的贡献来自于社交媒体上的教育，影响人们种植最能支持日益减少的传粉昆虫及其他昆虫的本土植物”(education on social media, influencing people to grow the native plants)。由此可知他在社交媒体上的行为是教育人们了解并种植本土植物。故选C。
第27题.A 主旨大意。解析：全文以Lybarger的经历为主线，讲述他从一个管理森林、犯下生态错误的普通人，转而成为一名致力于保护本土植物并通过社交媒体传播相关知识的倡导者，核心情节正是他的使命转变。故选A。
C篇主题语境：人与自然——自然科学研究
【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是中国云南江川生物群化石的新发现表明，寒武纪式复杂动物群落在埃迪卡拉纪末期已有雏形，这一发现修正而非否定了“寒武纪生命大爆发”理论。
第28题.C 词义猜测。解析：根据第一段语境，画线词所在的“complex life dramatically flourished during a rapid burst of evolution known as the Cambrian explosion”中，“a rapid burst of evolution”（一次快速的进化爆发）暗示生命在此期间应是快速“涌现”或“繁荣”的。同时，下文提到新发现对这一观点提出质疑，更证实了该词应表示大量出现。文中“burst”与选项“Sprang up”（涌现）形成对应。故选C。
第29题.C 细节理解。解析：根据第4段“The most common fossil the team found is an animal that fixed itself to the sea bed at one end and had a tube-like structure that could be extended outward at the other end.”可知，这种动物一端固定在海床，另一端有可向外伸展的管状结构。选项C的图片符合“一端固定、一端为可伸展的管状” 这一描述，故选C。
第30题.A 推理判断。解析：文章第三段引用发现领队李高荣的话指出，寒武纪型动物群落并非突然出现，而是在埃迪卡拉纪末期已具备“清晰的基础和过渡形态”。这意味着复杂生命的起源时间比原先认为的寒武纪更早，即“往后推”或“前置”了。A项“It pushes back the origin of complex life”（它推前了复杂生命的起源时间）符合此意。故选A。
第31题.C 体裁判断。解析：文章开篇引出重大科学发现，全篇穿插多位研究人员(李高荣、Joe Moysiuk)的直接引语和间接引语，客观陈述新发现及其科学意义，语言平实、报道性强，符合新闻报道的典型特征。故选C。
D篇主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲的是在人工智能飞速发展的时代，仅有创造力并不足够，还需要智慧来为创造力提供道德指引，而人文学科是培养这种智慧的重要途径。
第32题.B 写作意图。解析：文章首段提到AI专家在打造强大技术工具的同时希望保持人性，由此引发作者的思考：“如果创造力和创新比以往任何时候都加速发展，什么能确保它们服务于更大的善？”紧接着引出一项心理学研究指出的方向——智慧。可见，作者提及AI专家是为了自然引出下文关于智慧和创造力关系的核心话题，并非单纯陈述事实、澄清概念或解释现象。故选B。
第33题.D 细节理解。解析：根据第三段首句“Researchers found that wisdom functions as a moral compass for creativity.”可知，智慧为创造力充当道德指南针，即引导道德方向。后文进一步说明，智慧帮助决定哪些可能性是服务他人而非仅仅服务自己。故选D。
第34题.A 推理判断。解析：倒数第二段中，Daniela Amodei表示在一个由AI驱动的新世界里学习人文学科可能比以往更加重要，并指出其公司在招聘时看重沟通能力、同理心、好奇心等往往由人文学科培养的能力。由此可推断，她会赞成人文学科至关重要。故选A。
第35题.D 主旨大意。解析：全文围绕在AI时代，不断加速的创造力需要智慧来确保其服务于善，而人文学科有助于培养智慧。文章的核心问题在于探讨仅有创造力是否足够，并给出需要智慧指引的答案。选项D以问句形式精准概括了这一主旨。故选D。
七选五主题语境：人与社会——团队合作与成功
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲的是通过一项对超级团队的研究及雷霆队的成功案例，揭示了超级团队高效表现的三大共同秘诀，并指出任何团队都可以培养这些习惯，从而实现持续进步。
第36题.A 上下文逻辑衔接（转折关系）。解析：空前描述雷霆队在2022年春天处于联盟底部，空后却说“仅仅三个赛季就从底部飙升至联盟之巅”，前后构成明显的转折。选项A“But something remarkable happened.”恰好起到了语义转折并引出下文奇迹般崛起的作用。故选A。
第37题.F 上下文逻辑衔接（问题与研究方法）。解析：空前提出研究问题“最好的团队有什么不同做法？”空后则说“我们收集了详细数据”，中间缺少说明如何研究的过程。选项F“To find out, we surveyed over 6,000 knowledge workers...”中的“To find out”与前文问题呼应，调查与后文收集数据衔接自然。故选F。
第38题.G 段落主题句（承上启下）。解析：空前说那些评分最高的团队被称为“超级团队”，空后立即说明“超级团队共有三大关键优势”。选项G“Among those superteams, the secret to high performance looked remarkably similar.”既能承接上文“超级团队”这一话题，又能引出下文共同的“秘密”即三大优势，起到过渡作用。故选G。
第39题.C 句际逻辑与指代关系。解析：空前指出雷霆队明显掌握了最后一种（持续进步的）优势，空后说“这是自2008年球队搬迁以来就形成的模式”。选项C“Its rapid rise over the past few years is not an accident.”中的“Its”指代雷霆队，表明其快速崛起并非偶然，正是这种长期模式的体现，与后文完美衔接。故选C。
第40题.E 总结升华与主题呼应。解析：文章结尾指出那些习惯是把好团队变成超级团队的关键，随后需要总结这些习惯的普适性。选项E“Any team can develop them, whether in basketball, business, or beyond.”将适用范围从篮球拓展到任何领域，呼应了首段“这不仅仅是篮球的问题”的主题，使全文得到升华。故选E。

语法填空主题语境：人与社会——跨文化沟通、文化传播与流行时尚
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是一种融合中国传统元素与现代设计的“新中式”时尚风格正在国内外兴起，它反映了国人文化自信的提升和全球文化格局的变化。
第56题.fashionable 词性转换（名词变形容词）。解析：此处需要形容词来修饰名词“sportswear”，表示“时尚的运动装”。因此，将提示词“fashion”变为形容词“fashionable”。
第57题.with “with+宾语+宾补”复合结构。解析：此处是“with+宾语+形容词”构成的复合结构作伴随状语，补充说明“引来众多赞美”的具体表现，即“使得人们对设计师感到好奇”。
第58题.where 定语从句关系副词。解析：此处引导定语从句，修饰先行词“a rising trend”。从句中不缺少主语或宾语，缺少的是表示抽象地点的状语，意为“在这种趋势中”，故用关系副词“where”引导。
第59题.has been 动词时态。解析：时间状语“since 2021”提示动作从过去持续到现在，要用现在完成时。主语为单数“It”，故填“has been”。
第60题.definition 词性转换（动词变名词）。解析：形容词“precise”和“no”都提示这里应填名词作宾语。动词“define”的名词形式是“definition”，表示“精准的定义”。
第61题.to wear 非谓语动词（固定句式）。解析：在“making the clothing+宾语补足语”结构中，“clothing”与“wear”是逻辑上的被动关系，但“make sth.+adj.+to do”为固定句式，用不定式的主动形式表达被动含义，意为“使衣服更容易日常穿着”。
第62题.being viewed 非谓语动词（动名词的被动语态）。解析：前面是介词“from”，后面需用动名词形式。主语“they”和动词“view”之间是被动关系（他们被视为艺术品），因此用动名词的被动式“being viewed”。
第63题.an 冠词。解析：此处表示一位副教授，是泛指，且“associate”以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词“an”。
第64题.simply 词性转换（形容词变副词）。解析：空格修饰副词“not”，进一步修饰整个句子，需用副词形式。“simple”的副词是“simply”，表示“不仅仅是一种时尚趋势”。
第65题.and 并列连词。解析：“visible”（可见的）和“recognized”（被认可的）是两个并列的形容词，为并列关系，意为“越来越可见并被认可”，故用连词“and”连接。
