Kite Craft Flies High Online
To promote traditional craft, I helped my grandpa, a kite-making craftsman, host a bilingual livestream.
I was in charge of filming and translation while my grandpa prepared bamboo strips and colorful paper for his demonstration. Skillfully, he put together the frame and painted a golden phoenix, explaining that it symbolizes good fortune and new life. Grandpa smiled proudly and held up the finished kite, its tail floating gently in the wind.
This experience made me realize that technology can breathe new life into tradition. It enables us young people to introduce our cultural heritage to the world in a more vivid and accessible way.

Just then, many classmates complained that no one could get the work done well. No one seemed to know how to properly light the charcoal or control the heat, and the raw ingredients lay untouched in a mess. At that moment, Luke, though still nervous, gathered his courage and stepped forward hesitantly, murmuring, “Could I have a try ” Without waiting for a reply, he skillfully lit the charcoal, arranged the ingredients neatly, and brushed sauce evenly over the food, his every move smooth and confident.
Before long, the pleasant smell of barbecue filled the air. The golden-brown grilled meat and vegetables looked incredibly tempting, winning cheers from all classmates. Everyone crowded around Luke, applauding his amazing grilling skills. Bathed in warm praise, Luke felt a sense of pride welling up inside him. Gradually, he began to talk with others naturally, a brilliant smile spreading across his face. Never had he felt so confident, for he finally understood that courage and self-belief are the very keys to stepping out of the closed inner world and embracing a brighter self.2025-2026学年湖南邵阳市高三下学期考前预测英语试题

Three Remarkable Books to Enrich Your Mind
In the vast ocean of literature, certain books stand out for their profound insights and enduring impact. Selected from authoritative lists like the Guardian’s “100 Best Books of the 21st Century” and the New York Times’ annual recommendations, these three works offer unique windows into history, humanity, and imagination.
Gilead by Marilynne Robinson
First on the list is this Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that reads like a heartfelt letter. Written from the perspective of an aging preacher, John Ames, the book reflects on his family’s journey through American history — from the Civil War to the 1950s. Ames shares stories of love, loss, and faith with his young son, weaving personal memories into a vivid tapestry of a nation’s evolution. With its lyrical prose and deep moral reflections, Gilead has earned a Douban rating of 8.0, captivating readers with its emotional resonance.
Secondhand Time by Svetlana Alexievich
Next is a Nobel Prize-winning work of nonfiction. Through intimate oral interviews, the Belarusian author documents the lives of ordinary people during the chaotic transition of post-Soviet Russia (1991-2012). These firsthand accounts reveal the hopes, struggles, and despair of those caught in historical unrest, offering a raw view of a society in turmoil. Recognized for its powerful storytelling, the book boasts an impressive 8.8 rating on Douban, standing as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
Completing the trio is this thought-provoking dystopian novel. Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, this work follows three friends growing up in a seemingly idyllic boarding school, uncovering a dark secret about their existence. Ishiguro masterfully blends science fiction with profound questions about identity, love, and mortality, creating a narrative that lingers in the mind long after the final page. With a Douban rating of 8.7, it has become a modern classic beloved by readers worldwide.
Each of these books goes beyond genres and time. Whether you seek historical wisdom, emotional truth, or speculative insight, they promise a journey that will expand your horizons and touch your soul.
1. Which of the following is the notable feature of Gilead
A. Its detailed description of war scenes. B. Its exploration of dystopian themes.
C. Its focus on post-Soviet evolution. D. Its presentation as a preacher’s letter to his son.
2. We can infer from the passage that Secondhand Time is ________.
A. a fictional story about famous people B. a true record of social changes
C. a book full of imaginary experiences D. a work criticizing modern society
3. What do the three books have in common
A. They all won the Booker Prize. B. They are all set in the 21st century.
C. They offer profound insights into human experiences. D. They are based on the authors’ personal lives.
B
Yang Mei, a 22-year-old college graduate, made a selfless decision to abandon her cozy urban life and volunteer as an online tutor in Cliff Village. It is a remote mountain village hidden in mist deep in Daliangshan, where countless left-behind children had long been short of equal and high-quality educational chances.
The village sits on towering steep cliffs, connected to the outside world only by narrow steel ladders. Worse still, the poor network once completely cut the village off from the outside, which made regular online classes impossible for local kids. Many of them had to withdraw from school at an early age, and this sad sight deeply touched Yang Mei when she set foot in the lonely mountain village.
At first, Yang Mei met with a series of severe hardships. The rustic village houses were cold and damp, and climbing the dangerous steel ladders became her exhausting daily challenge. The faint network signal often interrupted her teaching suddenly. Some conservative villagers even doubted if she could stick to the work for long and refused to send their children to her simple classroom.
However, Yang Mei never lost heart or thought of quitting. She tried her best to fix basic network equipment with local villagers’ help, carried teaching supplies up the steep ladders little by little, and visited every family to communicate with parents patiently. She set up a simple “cloud classroom” and offered lively daily online lessons including Chinese, Maths and elementary English.
Gradually, the once shy and silent kids grew more eager for knowledge, actively raising questions in class and sharing their tiny inner wishes. Warm laughter filled the small classroom as more children joined in. Yang Mei said she would keep staying here to light up the kids’ learning path. Her devoted efforts turned the simple cloud classroom into a bright window for the children to know the wider world and chase their precious youthful dreams.
4. What was the initial major challenge for regular online classes in Cliff Village
A. Lack of teaching supplies and equipment.
B. Shortage of willing and qualified teachers.
C. Parents’ unwillingness to send children to school.
D. Unstable network that often broke the connection.
5. How did Yang Mei improve the learning situation in the village
A. By raising money to build a new school.
B. By convincing city teachers to move there.
C. By establishing a “cloud classroom” with daily lessons.
D. By sending children to nearby towns for classes.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Yang Mei
A. Determined and caring. B. Reserved and sympathetic.
C. Humourous and creative. D. Ambitious and humble.
7. What is the main idea of the passage
A. The natural beauty and isolation of a mountain village.
B. A volunteer’s efforts to bring education to left-behind children.
C. The development of internet technology in rural areas.
D. The challenges faced by college graduates finding jobs.
C
Have you ever rushed to a roller coaster in an amusement park, queued for 30 minutes in the burning heat, but enjoyed the ride for only one minute When recalling the experience years later, what remains vivid in your mind is the tension at the highest point, the thrilling weightlessness while diving down, and the strong sense of excitement when it finished. The long and tiring wait, however, has faded from your memory completely.
This is explained by the Peak-End Rule, developed by Daniel Kahneman, a Nobel Prize-winning economist. The rule indicates that our overall impression of an experience is determined not by its total length or ordinary moments, but by how we feel at its most intense peak and final moment, which makes our brain a biased (有偏见的) editor rather than a faithful camera.
To confirm this rule, Kahneman designed a noise experiment. Participants were exposed to two painful periods. The first was a 30-second loud, sharp noise. The second included the same 30-second unpleasant noise followed by 10 seconds of softer noise, making it last longer and contain more discomfort in total. Surprisingly, most participants preferred to experience the second one again, as its relatively gentle ending entirely transformed their memory of the suffering.
The rule deeply affects family life and education. Many students grow tired of studying mainly because they often face negative peaks such as parents’ scold when they struggle with difficult problems, and disappointing endings like extra homework immediately after they finish their given tasks. By contrast, games are carefully designed to offer frequent exciting peaks and satisfying endings, which explains their strong attraction.
The rule also applies to interpersonal relationships and business. A single quarrel before bed can ruin a whole day’s pleasant memory, while IKEA and Starbucks win customers by creating impressive peaks and warm endings. Actually, what decides our happiness is not every second we experience, but those key moments that shape our lifelong memories.
8. What can be learned about the Peak-End Rule from the first two paragraphs
A. It was discovered by a group of psychologists.
B. It explains people’s selective memory of experiences.
C. It focuses on average feelings during an experience.
D. It proves the brain records memories exactly like a camera.
9. Why did most participants choose the second noise experience
A. It brought them more discomfort in total.
B. It lasted longer than the first one.
C. It ended with a comparatively mild sound.
D. It had no sharp and loud noise at all.
10. Which of the following cases applies the Peak-End Rule
A. Giving customers a warm goodbye.
B. Keeping daily study tasks all the same.
C. Perfecting every dish in a restaurant.
D. Making customer service calls longer.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. An Experiment on Human Memory
B. Key Factors in Improving Students’ Interest
C. Secrets Behind Business Success
D. Key Moments Defining Our Memories
D
“Buy land; they’re not making it anymore,” Mark Twain once said. Today, this remark serves as a sharp warning about our modern food system. Earth possesses a limited amount of arable (适合耕种的) land, about one third of it already degraded. With the global population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050, the urgent need to increase production has brought food security firmly into the spotlight.
Global food production is also worryingly centralized in merely six countries — Canada, the U. S., Brazil, Argentina, Russia, and Ukraine. These nations account for an overly large share of internationally traded basic crops, particularly grains and oilseeds that support much of the world’s calorie intake. Alzbeta Klein of the International Fertilizer Association warns that any conflict breaking out in these six nations will unavoidably lead to widespread hunger.
While agriculture has always been cyclical, governed by predictable seasonal patterns, climate change introduces a new layer of uncertainty, as extreme weather can destroy major percentages of harvests at any given time with little prior warning.
That strain is not limited to land. As people flock to cities, farming is becoming a rare job. In the U. S., only 1.5 percent of the population now works directly in agriculture, a sharp drop from 50 percent sixty years ago. However, these pressures only reveal half the picture. A shrinking workforce has unexpectedly accelerated extraordinary efficiency gains through decades of innovation and mechanization.
The major task will be producing more with less, and few places represent that reality more vividly than Brazil, which has successfully transformed from a food importer in the 1970s to a world-leading exporter in 2026. Over 50 years, it increased planted area by 140 percent but raised production and productivity by an amazing 580 percent. Meanwhile, as water grows scarce and pesticide regulations tighten in some regions, countries like China and Saudi Arabia are investing in protected crops, glasshouses, and greenhouses to secure supply.
12. What makes food security an urgent issue according to Paragraph 1
A. Wise remarks from Mark Twain.
B. Large areas of completely degraded land.
C. Limited arable land and growing population.
D. Poor management of modern food system.
13. What does the author want to show by mentioning the six countries
A. Global food supply is highly concentrated.
B. Conflicts often break out in these countries.
C. They provide enough calories for the world.
D. They own the most advanced farming technology.
14. What does the underlined word “strain” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Progress. B. Injury. C. Loss. D. Pressure.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Brazil fails to balance its food import and export.
B. Countries are seeking ways to raise food production.
C. Growing population is the key problem in agriculture.
D. Greenhouses are widely used in all water-scarce areas.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you ever looked up in a thick forest and noticed a natural pattern The tops of some tall trees do not touch. ___16___. This fascinating phenomenon is known as “crown shyness.”
Crown shyness has been observed in certain tree species globally, such as some eucalyptus, pine, and oak trees. These “shy” tree crowns maintain a careful distance from their neighbors, creating those unique and striking channels of light. But why would trees do this Scientists have proposed several theories.
___17___. In windy conditions, the swaying branches and twigs of neighboring trees repeatedly collide (碰撞) and rub against each other, causing unavoidable physical damage to the tender growing tips. This damage effectively limits branch growth at the points of frequent contact. Over time, a mutual boundary forms where growth is restricted, resulting in the distinctive gaps. It’s a non-violent, long-term negotiation for space.
Another influential theory involves light competition for survival. Trees rely on sunlight for photosynthesis, the key process for making food. ___18___. However, this theory alone can’t fully explain why the gaps are so precise and consistent. Some researchers, like ecologist Miguel Franco, suggest it might be a combination of factors: abrasion (磨损) creates the initial gap, and then the trees’ light-sensitive abilities guide further growth away from the shade.
This behavior is more than just a curiosity. ___19___. More importantly, it allows more sunlight to filter through to the forest floor, supporting a richer undergrowth ecosystem. Crown shyness is a remarkable example of how competition and coexistence shape the natural world. ___20___.
A. They may minimize shading by avoiding overlap (重叠).
B. Instead, they leave narrow, winding gaps against the sky.
C. But no one has proved why the trees avoid touching each other.
D. The leading explanation is the “mechanical abrasion assumption”.
E. One theory is that collision will lead to the death of some branches.
F. It can create beauty through invisible rules and silent communication among giants.
G. It likely reduces the spread of leaf-eating insects and provides a popular-level benefit.

For weeks, I held on to the boards, ____27____ along while everyone else chased pucks (冰球) happily.
The challenge wasn’t just physical; it was a daily war with the ____28____ inside telling me I didn’t belong out there. I watched the others slide backward effortlessly, and my ____29____ grew into a quiet fury.
Instead of giving up, I chose to push myself harder. One morning, when I arrived at the ice court, it was empty and silent. Determined to stop grabbing the rail, I ____30____ from the center. I fell. Got up. Fell again. This time, I didn’t care about external ____31____ or recognition. I just focused on the scrape of the blade (冰刀), the bend of my knee, and the ____32____ of the push.
Slowly, the stuttering stops turned into strides. By the end of that winter, I wasn’t the ____33____, but I had earned my place. I learned that indomitable spirit isn’t about never falling — it is about ____34____ that the ice never cares about your excuses. It only respects the ____35____ you bring to it.

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。
Luke, a quiet and shy senior high school student in my class, had long been trapped in a state of deep inferiority and an acute lack of self-confidence. Terrified of taking the initiative to communicate or make friends with his classmates, he always kept himself distant from all forms of social activities. Caught in endless anxiety, he was firmly convinced that the moment he spoke up or showed himself in public, he would be laughed at, looked down upon and judged coldly by others.
Luke actually possessed a well-hidden yet remarkable talent, which was unknown to almost all his classmates. Having practiced barbecuing with his father since childhood, he had gained solid and proficient grilling skills, fully capable of making delicious barbecue food.
Last week, when I announced that we would have a barbecue picnic outdoors that weekend, all classmates cheered and signed up excitedly at once except Luke. He lowered his head in silence, drowned in deep hesitation. As usual, his first reaction was to stay alone at home so as to avoid any awkward social interaction.
Noticing his tendency to escape from social situations, I had a patient and sincere talk with him after class, encouraging him to regard this gathering as a precious opportunity to step out of his closed inner world. After a fierce mental struggle throughout the night, Luke finally plucked up all his courage and made up his mind to take part in the activity bravely.
On the day of the activity, Luke arrived at the spot. Standing awkwardly away from the noisy crowd, he was too timid to take a single step forward to join in anyone’s conversation.
