(2025·湖北武汉调研)
To the dynamic beat of Aretha Franklin's songs，families sit in the crowd at the hall of Horace Mann Middle School here. They are waiting，slightly anxious. These families are participating in a one-of-a-kind program called Spark.
The meeting will pair students with volunteer apprentice(学徒)teachers. Lawyers，hair stylists，and software developers will meet up with students who have selected their occupations as the ones they would most like to learn about. Spark apprenticeships provide workplace experiences that bring economically disadvantaged teens into contact with a world they have probably only imagined.
Nationally，some 30 percent of US high school students drop out.“While improved curricula(课程)，better teaching，and modern equipment may be part of the solution，you have to have the relevance，”says Mr Balme about his Spark program.
The gap between those worlds—one of limited expectations and hardship，the other of success and prosperity(繁荣)—hit Balme one day when he was volunteering as a science teacher at a public school in Philadelphia. He was also studying at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
The public school was in bad shape，with a high dropout rate. While walking back to the Wharton School，Balme realized he was “seeing all these resources，and yet those kids had no idea what was right there all around them”．That's when everything fell into place. The problem and the solution were right next to each other. In 2004，he and Melia Dicker founded Spark.
Apprenticeships are “not rocket science”，says Holly Depatie，Spark's board chair. But other coaching programs，such as Boys and Girls Clubs of America，while pairing youngsters with adults，don't specifically target learning about jobs. So far，Spark has created more than 700 apprenticeships in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了解决教育资源不平衡的问题，Spark项目通过将学生与志愿者学徒教师配对，提供工作场所经历，帮助经济上处于不利地位的青少年接触不同职业，减少辍学率。
1．How does Spark help the students？(　 　)
A．By updating teaching equipment.
B．By offering hands-on experiences.
C．By financing young apprentices.
D．By improving school curricula.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容尤其是 “Spark apprenticeships provide workplace experiences…probably only imagined.”可知，Spark项目通过将经济上处于不利地位的青少年与他们感兴趣的行业联系起来，提供工作场所的经历。即Spark通过提供实际的工作经历来帮助学生。故选B。
B
2．What is the major drive for Balme to set up Spark？(　　)
A．The dropout rate of US high schools.
B．The prosperity in famous universities.
C．The expectation of disadvantaged teens.
D．The imbalance in educational resources.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The gap between those worlds—one of limited expectations and hardship, the other of success and prosperity(繁荣)—hit Balme”和第五段首句可知，教育资源的不平衡促使他创立了Spark。故选D。
D
3．Which word best describes Balme？(　　)
A．Reserved. B．Grateful.
C．Observant. D．Modest.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，Balme在费城的一所公立学校担任科学教师时，注意到了学校资源匮乏和学生辍学率高的问题。他意识到学校附近资源丰富，但学生们却无法利用。这促使他创立了Spark，以弥补教育资源的不平衡。因此，Balme是“善于观察的”。故选C。
C
4．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph？(　　)
A．To show Spark's distinction.
B．To justify similar programs.
C．To tackle Spark's challenge.
D．To criticize current situations.

(2026·T8联考)
You had to be really unlucky to be on the China National Highway 110 on August 14, 2025.One of the longest traffic jams on record，trapping thousands of vehicles over more than 100 kilometers and lasting more than 10 days.Would it make you impatient？I strongly suspect that even the calmest would answer with a resounding “yes”！And yet philosophers and poets alike sell patience as a “virtue”， implying that having it is always a good thing.To me，it's far more useful to think about patience as something we do rather than something we have.
Consider first what it means to be impatient.We all know the feeling：fingers drumming the table，leg bouncing.But why does this frustrating feeling arise？Most emotion researchers take it as a functionalist perspective.Our mind and body are trying to tell us to get moving，to find a way to bring the unpleasant delay to an end.
In a series of recent studies with more than 1，400 participants，we found that people were more impatient when the thing they were waiting for was very appealing—and when the wait itself was unappealing.Being delayed for something you hate，such as an unpleasant work event，is easier than a similar delay for a much-anticipated performance by your favorite band.
If impatience is an emotion，what is patience？In technical terms，it's a form of emotion regulation like reminding ourselves that the scary movie isn't real.When we start to feel impatient，we can let that feeling rage—or we can regulate it.Are you waiting weeks to find out if you have got that job？Dive into your favorite hobby to distract yourself for a few hours.
There's still a lot we don't know about patience，including why some people seem to find it easier than others and how we can get better at it.Fortunately，those are simpler questions to answer when we reduce the challenge from virtue acquisition to emotion regulation.
Ultimately，it may seem like a sharp contrast to poetic descriptions of virtue，but I'll take practical wisdom over virtue any day.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。文章通过中国110国道长时间交通堵塞的例子引出“急躁”和“耐心”的话题。作者探讨了急躁这一情绪产生的原因，并将耐心重新定义为一种情绪调节行为，而非固有美德。最后，作者强调从实践角度理解耐心比将其视为美德更为有用。
5．What is the author's attitude to people's impatience in traffic jams on the National Highway 110？(　　)
A．Understanding. B．Dismissive.
C．Indifferent. D．Critical.
解析：观点态度题。根据第一段作者对110国道堵车事件的描述“Would it make you impatient I strongly suspect that even the calmest would answer with a resounding ‘yes’！”以及后文对急躁情绪的功能性分析可知，作者对堵车中人们的急躁情绪表示理解。故选A。
A
6．According to the text，which of the following situations would make people the most impatient？(　　)
A.Being stuck in a traffic jam in a comfortable car.
B．Being delayed by bad weather on the way to work.
C．Waiting for an important but unpleasant work meeting.
D.Waiting in a long queue for an expected football game.
D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“people were more impatient when the thing they were waiting for was very appealing—and when the wait itself was unappealing”可推知，当等待的事物非常吸引人且等待过程本身令人不悦时，人们会更不耐烦。选项D“为期待已久的足球赛排长队”符合这两个条件，“期待已久的足球赛”是吸引人的事物，“排长队”是不悦的等待过程。故选D。
7．The author views patience as ________.(　　)
A．an acquired virtue
B．a born personality
C．a form of releasing emotion
D．a behavior of regulating emotion
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“In technical terms, it's a form of emotion regulation…When we start to feel impatient, we can let that feeling rage—or we can regulate it.”可知，作者视耐心为一种情绪调节行为。故选D。
D
8．What is the purpose of the text？(　　)
A．To justify a virtue.
B．To redefine patience.
C．To introduce strategies.
D．To identify impatience.
解析：写作意图题。文章开头以交通堵塞引出对急躁的讨论，接着通过研究分析急躁产生的原因，最后将耐心重新定义为情绪调节行为，并强调从实践角度理解耐心比将其视为美德更有用。全文核心是重新界定耐心的本质。故选B。

(2026·贵州名校联考)
I initially became a Spanish teacher not out of passion but necessity—like many in their twenties, stuck in a quarter-life crisis, trying to find a way to make some extra money.
That's how one morning I found myself downloading a language app, creating a profile, and recording an introduction video hoping to convince potential students to book a trial lesson with me. Despite watching tutorials (教程)online for only seven hours, I pretended to be a qualified teacher.
But on the other side, my first student, Robert—an American living in Medellin, Spain—changed everything. He wasn't trying to master grammar or speak perfect textbook Spanish. He wanted to improve his fluency and learn the local paisa slang, so he could understand the people in the street stands, the bakery guy, and the lady selling coffee.
I remember our first class vividly. I explained the difference between a rolo, a cale o, or a samario, which led to discussions about regional accents, word meanings, and how everything changes depending on who says it and how. Robert also shared his life in Ohio, experiences in Latin America, and his relationship with food and people.
Our Spanish classes turned into a sort of cultural lab. In that back-and-forth of ideas, we unknowingly started building bridges. It hit me that teaching a language goes far beyond teaching grammar. It's about opening the door to a new world and inviting someone else to walk through it.
I now believe language teaching is a powerful tool for building bridges across cultures and for revealing stereotypes that divide us. In a globalized world, language teachers are perhaps—agents of change and social transformation, sharing culture through lived experiences.

Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city—in particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community.At the heart of her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair, whereby people are able to interact with one another in dense (稠密)and exciting urban environments.She prefers disorder to order, walking to driving, and diversity to uniformity.
For Jacobs, urban communities are organic beings that should be left to grow and change by themselves and not be subject to the grand plans of so-called experts and officials.The best judges of how a city should be—and how it should develop—are the local residents themselves.Jacobs argues that urban communities are best placed to understand how their city functions, because city life is created and sustained through their various interactions.
Jacobs notes that the built form of a city is crucial to the life of an urban community, especially the sidewalks.The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks, which allow people to meet, talk, and get to know one another.Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better.
Diversity and mixed-use of space are also, for Jacobs, key elements of this urban form.The commercial, business, and residential elements of a city should not be separated out but instead be side by side, to allow for greater integration of people.There should also be a diversity of old and new buildings, and people's interactions should determine how buildings get used and reused.
Finally, urban communities grow better in places where a critical mass of people live, work, and interact.Such high-density spaces are, she feels, engines of creativity and vitality.They are also safe places to be, because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”： shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Jane Jacobs对城市社区的设想，她认为城市社区应该是一个便于人们互相接触与交流、彼此了解的地方。

C
8．According to Jacobs, the “eyes on the street” bring a sense of ________．(　　)
A．pride B．comfort
C．security D．urgency
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“They are also safe places to be, because the higher density means that there are more‘eyes on the street’：shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood.”可知，“eyes on the street”指的是店主和当地人对街区的密切关注，这会带来安全感。故选C。

(2025·湖北武汉调研)
To the dynamic beat of Aretha Franklin's songs，families sit in the crowd at the hall of Horace Mann Middle School here. They are waiting，slightly anxious. These families are participating in a one-of-a-kind program called Spark.
The meeting will pair students with volunteer apprentice(学徒)teachers. Lawyers，hair stylists，and software developers will meet up with students who have selected their occupations as the ones they would most like to learn about. Spark apprenticeships provide workplace experiences that bring economically disadvantaged teens into contact with a world they have probably only imagined.
Nationally，some 30 percent of US high school students drop out.“While improved curricula(课程)，better teaching，and modern equipment may be part of the solution，you have to have the relevance，”says Mr Balme about his Spark program.
The gap between those worlds—one of limited expectations and hardship，the other of success and prosperity(繁荣)—hit Balme one day when he was volunteering as a science teacher at a public school in Philadelphia. He was also studying at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
The public school was in bad shape，with a high dropout rate. While walking back to the Wharton School，Balme realized he was “seeing all these resources，and yet those kids had no idea what was right there all around them”．That's when everything fell into place. The problem and the solution were right next to each other. In 2004，he and Melia Dicker founded Spark.
Apprenticeships are “not rocket science”，says Holly Depatie，Spark's board chair. But other coaching programs，such as Boys and Girls Clubs of America，while pairing youngsters with adults，don't specifically target learning about jobs. So far，Spark has created more than 700 apprenticeships in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了解决教育资源不平衡的问题，Spark项目通过将学生与志愿者学徒教师配对，提供工作场所经历，帮助经济上处于不利地位的青少年接触不同职业，减少辍学率。
1．How does Spark help the students？(　B　)
A．By updating teaching equipment.
B．By offering hands-on experiences.
C．By financing young apprentices.
D．By improving school curricula.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段内容尤其是 “Spark apprenticeships provide workplace experiences…probably only imagined.”可知，Spark项目通过将经济上处于不利地位的青少年与他们感兴趣的行业联系起来，提供工作场所的经历。即Spark通过提供实际的工作经历来帮助学生。故选B。
2．What is the major drive for Balme to set up Spark？(　D　)
A．The dropout rate of US high schools.
B．The prosperity in famous universities.
C．The expectation of disadvantaged teens.
D．The imbalance in educational resources.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The gap between those worlds—one of limited expectations and hardship, the other of success and prosperity(繁荣)—hit Balme”和第五段首句可知，教育资源的不平衡促使他创立了Spark。故选D。
3．Which word best describes Balme？(　C　)
A．Reserved. B．Grateful.
C．Observant. D．Modest.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，Balme在费城的一所公立学校担任科学教师时，注意到了学校资源匮乏和学生辍学率高的问题。他意识到学校附近资源丰富，但学生们却无法利用。这促使他创立了Spark，以弥补教育资源的不平衡。因此，Balme是“善于观察的”。故选C。
4．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph？(　A　)
A．To show Spark's distinction.
B．To justify similar programs.
C．To tackle Spark's challenge.
D．To criticize current situations.
解析：推理判断题。最后一段通过对比类似的项目，突出了Spark的独特之处，即专门针对职业学习。故选A。
(2026·T8联考)
You had to be really unlucky to be on the China National Highway 110 on August 14, 2025.One of the longest traffic jams on record，trapping thousands of vehicles over more than 100 kilometers and lasting more than 10 days.Would it make you impatient？I strongly suspect that even the calmest would answer with a resounding “yes”！And yet philosophers and poets alike sell patience as a “virtue”， implying that having it is always a good thing.To me，it's far more useful to think about patience as something we do rather than something we have.
Consider first what it means to be impatient.We all know the feeling：fingers drumming the table，leg bouncing.But why does this frustrating feeling arise？Most emotion researchers take it as a functionalist perspective.Our mind and body are trying to tell us to get moving，to find a way to bring the unpleasant delay to an end.
In a series of recent studies with more than 1，400 participants，we found that people were more impatient when the thing they were waiting for was very appealing—and when the wait itself was unappealing.Being delayed for something you hate，such as an unpleasant work event，is easier than a similar delay for a much-anticipated performance by your favorite band.
If impatience is an emotion，what is patience？In technical terms，it's a form of emotion regulation like reminding ourselves that the scary movie isn't real.When we start to feel impatient，we can let that feeling rage—or we can regulate it.Are you waiting weeks to find out if you have got that job？Dive into your favorite hobby to distract yourself for a few hours.
There's still a lot we don't know about patience，including why some people seem to find it easier than others and how we can get better at it.Fortunately，those are simpler questions to answer when we reduce the challenge from virtue acquisition to emotion regulation.
Ultimately，it may seem like a sharp contrast to poetic descriptions of virtue，but I'll take practical wisdom over virtue any day.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。文章通过中国110国道长时间交通堵塞的例子引出“急躁”和“耐心”的话题。作者探讨了急躁这一情绪产生的原因，并将耐心重新定义为一种情绪调节行为，而非固有美德。最后，作者强调从实践角度理解耐心比将其视为美德更为有用。
5．What is the author's attitude to people's impatience in traffic jams on the National Highway 110？(　A　)
A．Understanding. B．Dismissive.
C．Indifferent. D．Critical.
解析：观点态度题。根据第一段作者对110国道堵车事件的描述“Would it make you impatient I strongly suspect that even the calmest would answer with a resounding ‘yes’！”以及后文对急躁情绪的功能性分析可知，作者对堵车中人们的急躁情绪表示理解。故选A。
6．According to the text，which of the following situations would make people the most impatient？(　D　)
A.Being stuck in a traffic jam in a comfortable car.
B．Being delayed by bad weather on the way to work.
C．Waiting for an important but unpleasant work meeting.
D.Waiting in a long queue for an expected football game.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“people were more impatient when the thing they were waiting for was very appealing—and when the wait itself was unappealing”可推知，当等待的事物非常吸引人且等待过程本身令人不悦时，人们会更不耐烦。选项D“为期待已久的足球赛排长队”符合这两个条件，“期待已久的足球赛”是吸引人的事物，“排长队”是不悦的等待过程。故选D。
7．The author views patience as ________.(　D　)
A．an acquired virtue
B．a born personality
C．a form of releasing emotion
D．a behavior of regulating emotion
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“In technical terms, it's a form of emotion regulation…When we start to feel impatient, we can let that feeling rage—or we can regulate it.”可知，作者视耐心为一种情绪调节行为。故选D。
8．What is the purpose of the text？(　B　)
A．To justify a virtue.
B．To redefine patience.
C．To introduce strategies.
D．To identify impatience.
解析：写作意图题。文章开头以交通堵塞引出对急躁的讨论，接着通过研究分析急躁产生的原因，最后将耐心重新定义为情绪调节行为，并强调从实践角度理解耐心比将其视为美德更有用。全文核心是重新界定耐心的本质。故选B。

[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。作者早年对学习缺乏兴趣，多次失败后失去自尊，不敢与人互动。一次看到一些孩子游泳后作者受到启发，决心改变，重塑自己。此后，作者不仅在游泳比赛中获奖，学业也取得进步，最终进入大学，自尊得以恢复，领悟到“给自己一次机会”对发挥潜力的关键意义。
1．(　B　)A.deny　　 B．recognize
C．accept　　 D．abandon
解析：根据上文的“My early school years were a struggle. I had little interest in many subjects”可知，作者对许多科目几乎没有兴趣，也不能认识到(recognize)自己的能力。deny“否认，否定”；accept“接受，同意做”；abandon“中止，放弃”。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共20分)
(2026·贵州名校联考)
I initially became a Spanish teacher not out of passion but necessity—like many in their twenties, stuck in a quarter-life crisis, trying to find a way to make some extra money.
That's how one morning I found myself downloading a language app, creating a profile, and recording an introduction video hoping to convince potential students to book a trial lesson with me. Despite watching tutorials (教程)online for only seven hours, I pretended to be a qualified teacher.
But on the other side, my first student, Robert—an American living in Medellin, Spain—changed everything. He wasn't trying to master grammar or speak perfect textbook Spanish. He wanted to improve his fluency and learn the local paisa slang, so he could understand the people in the street stands, the bakery guy, and the lady selling coffee.
I remember our first class vividly. I explained the difference between a rolo, a cale o, or a samario, which led to discussions about regional accents, word meanings, and how everything changes depending on who says it and how. Robert also shared his life in Ohio, experiences in Latin America, and his relationship with food and people.
Our Spanish classes turned into a sort of cultural lab. In that back-and-forth of ideas, we unknowingly started building bridges. It hit me that teaching a language goes far beyond teaching grammar. It's about opening the door to a new world and inviting someone else to walk through it.
I now believe language teaching is a powerful tool for building bridges across cultures and for revealing stereotypes that divide us. In a globalized world, language teachers are perhaps—agents of change and social transformation, sharing culture through lived experiences.

Jane Jacobs spent her working life advancing a distinct vision of the city—in particular focusing on what makes a successful urban community.At the heart of her vision is the idea that urban life should be an energetic and rich affair, whereby people are able to interact with one another in dense (稠密)and exciting urban environments.She prefers disorder to order, walking to driving, and diversity to uniformity.
For Jacobs, urban communities are organic beings that should be left to grow and change by themselves and not be subject to the grand plans of so-called experts and officials.The best judges of how a city should be—and how it should develop—are the local residents themselves.Jacobs argues that urban communities are best placed to understand how their city functions, because city life is created and sustained through their various interactions.
Jacobs notes that the built form of a city is crucial to the life of an urban community, especially the sidewalks.The streets in which people live should be a tight pattern of crossed sidewalks, which allow people to meet, talk, and get to know one another.Such a complex but ultimately enriching set of encounters helps individuals know their neighbours and neighbourhood better.
Diversity and mixed-use of space are also, for Jacobs, key elements of this urban form.The commercial, business, and residential elements of a city should not be separated out but instead be side by side, to allow for greater integration of people.There should also be a diversity of old and new buildings, and people's interactions should determine how buildings get used and reused.
Finally, urban communities grow better in places where a critical mass of people live, work, and interact.Such high-density spaces are, she feels, engines of creativity and vitality.They are also safe places to be, because the higher density means that there are more “eyes on the street”： shopkeepers and locals who know their area and maintain a close watch over the neighbourhood.

1．a
解析：考查冠词。句意：上个月，宾夕法尼亚州兰卡斯特乡村走读学校(LCDS)的22名学生花了三周时间探索中国，发现了一个完全不同的中国。China在此处表示“一个(具有某种特点的)中国”，是泛指，且completely是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，故填a。
2．went
