Sample 1
If there’s one picture that sums up my favorite school memory, this is it.
The photo shows my teammates and me huddled together on the school playground, grinning from ear to ear with our arms slung over each other’s shoulders, our class flag held high in our hands. During the sports meet, when our last runner finally crossed the finish line in first place, the deafening cheers erupting from our classmates and proud smiles lighting up our teachers’ faces made all the hard work worthwhile.
This picture doesn’t just capture a winning moment — it reminds me that the best school memories are made not by being alone, but by growing and achieving together.
Sample 2
If there’s one picture that sums up my favorite school memory, this is it.
This photo freezes my deskmate and me leaning over a shared desk in the classroom, our eyes fixed on the page before us as we consult with our teacher. She stood beside us with a soft smile, her finger gently pointing at the exercise book to break down the tricky problem we’d been stuck on for hours. She guided us to think from a new perspective.
This picture doesn’t just capture a moment of sudden understanding — it reminds me that the best school memories are made not by solving problems alone, but by learning and growing with the guidance and company of teachers.
【答案】One possible version:
I rushed towards the examination hall, my heart pounding in my chest. I prayed that I would still be allowed to take the examination. When I reached the door, I took a deep breath and knocked gently on it. The teacher opened the door, looking confused and a little annoyed. I stammered out an apology and explained my situation. To my relief, she let me in, but warned me not to be late again. I quickly took my seat, trying my best to calm myself down. As I looked at the test paper, my mind almost went blank. But I knew I had to focus and do my best.
After the examination, I walked out of the hall with a mixture of relief and regret. I was relieved that I had been able to take the examination, but in the meanwhile felt a little bit regretful for my habit of being late. I didn’t want to miss out on any opportunities because of my lateness or let my laziness ruin my future. So I decided then and there that I would get rid of the bad habit. I would set multiple alarms and make sure to be on time. As I walked home, still wet from the rain, I had faith in my becoming a more responsible and punctual person.2025-2026学年重庆市第十八中学高二下学期5月调研英语试题

If the announcement of “extreme condition” by the Government is issued at 7:00 a.m. or after, all classes will be suspended (暂停) for the whole day.
If the local Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal No. 8 or above, the Black Rainstorm Signal or the announcement of “extreme condition” by the Government is issued during a class period, all classes will be suspended immediately. Students are advised to take shelter at a safe place until the weather and traffic conditions have improved.
Campus Transport Arrangements
If the local storm warning signal No. 8 or above, the “extreme conditions” notice or the black rainstorm warning signal is issued before the start of class period, all bus services will be suspended and will restart operation on a limited basis one hour after the said warning signal(s) are cancelled, unless the situation does not permit.

For most of my life, I treated taste as fixed. There were things I liked and things I didn’t, and that was that.
Sticking to that belief had left me in a bit of a standstill. I stopped making time for new hobbies or trying anything new. Salsa lessons No, thanks. Interactive theatre Not for me. But my automatic “no” to anything that “wasn’t my thing” only kept me trapped in the same routine of work, sleep, eating, and that left me feeling listless and a little empty.
So, in an effort to break the boredom, I began to question whether my taste was fixed at all, or whether it might be something I could train. I had read that children need 8 to 15 tries to accept a new food. Why shouldn’t the same principle apply to social activities for adults
I started small. When a friend invited me to a book club, I resisted the urge to dismiss it, despite my longstanding dislike of reading due to dyslexia (阅读障碍症). But I went anyway. I listened to the first book on audio book and, to my surprise, enjoyed the discussion and the people. Now I spend mornings reading. Then came music and performance: jazz clubs, line dancing, contemporary performance — all things I had previously ignored.
Trying things you thought you wouldn’t enjoy, I found, became oddly addictive. I didn’t love everything straight away, but I stopped saying no before I had even begun. Most recently, I tried out my local library’s chess club. I was easily 30 years younger than everyone else, but that didn’t matter. Honestly, there was nothing quite like being wiped off the board by someone who had been playing since before your parents met. I felt more of a connection with others there than at any organized twenty-something social event I’ve attended.
Putting “try something new” in my diary once a week broke up the work-commute-collapse cycle I had accidentally built my life around. Now I simply count to five, approach the friendliest-looking person with a “hello”, and any initial awkwardness quickly fades. Next week Who knows. Maybe magic lessons. Maybe life drawing. Maybe both.
4. How did the author’s fixed idea affect her
A. It simplified her daily routine.
B. It left her more time for work.
C. It flattened her life into dullness.
D. It spared her unwanted socializing.
5. Why did the author accept her friend’s invitation to a book club
A. To make a conscious shift in her life.
B. To revisit a former interest in reading.
C. To meet her friend’s repeated requests.
D. To occupy a blank in her personal calendar.
6. How did the author feel when losing the chess game
A. Totally relieved. B. Slightly puzzled. C. Rather embarrassed. D. Somewhat delighted.
7. What message does the author try to convey
A. Learn to say no. B. Break out of your shell.
C. Look before you leap. D. Let go of the past.
C
In his new book The Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt uses numerous statistics and charts to show that rates of anxiety and depression among teenagers exploded in the early 2010s right after the emergence of the smartphone and social media. Haidt calls the period from 2010 to 2015 the “Great Rewiring”, the time when smartphones and social media became widely adopted among teens and when we saw sharp increases in teen mental health problems. Haidt states that the switch from a play-based childhood to a phone-based childhood is largely responsible for the anxious generation.
It is funny that while parents stopped letting children play around the neighborhood without adult supervision (监督) because of the fear of what random strangers would do, they allowed their children access to the Internet where random strangers could steal their minds and hearts. Haidt claims, “Two trends — overprotection in the real world and underprotection in the virtual world — are the major reasons why children born after 1995 became the anxious generation.” Some academics have tried to point, unconvincingly, to other factors, like the global financial crisis in 2008, or climate change, to explain the teen mental health crisis.
Haidt also demonstrates why smartphones and social media are responsible. In chapter 5, he discusses “four foundational harms” introduced and encouraged by these technologies: social deprivation (剥夺), sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, and addiction. He shows that while the Internet offers a pretense of connection and socializing, its popularity has made people (teenagers in particular) feel lonelier and has deprived them of real-world connections.
The final part of the book is a call to collective action. To undo the harm caused by the Great Rewiring, Haidt says communities must work together. Parents, schools, tech companies, and governments need to do their part to build better policies that will give children a better childhood — a childhood with more freedom in the real world and less freedom in the virtual world.
This book contains a lot of helpful and alarming information. If you are a parent or grandparent of a young child, this will be the book for you.
8. What leads to the explosion of anxiety and depression among teens in the early 2010s
A. The fear of the digital age.
B. The reduction in phone-based life.
C. The increase in play-based activities.
D. The arrival of smartphones and social media.
9. What is the author’s attitude to some academics’ viewpoints in paragraph 2
A. Unclear. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Tolerant.
10. What does Haidt propose in the last part of his book
A. Establishment of phone-free schools.
B. Government control over media content.
C. Teens’ self-management in virtual spaces.
D. Joint effort from all parties to erase the harm.
11. What is the author’s primary purpose in writing the text
A. To recommend a book on parenting.
B. To offer useful guidance to educators.
C. To highlight the harms of social media.
D. To clarify the proper usage of smartphones.
D
Scientists have long known that insects can communicate, but new research shows their ways are more complex than we ever imagined. Although we can hear some insect sounds like cricket chirps, most of their communication happens in ways humans cannot naturally detect.
Bees, for instance, use a complicated “waggle dance” to tell others about food sources. The dance’s direction, duration, and intensity precisely express information about the distance and quality of nectar (花蜜) sources. This inner system allows bee colonies to efficiently gather food from kilometers away.
Many insects also communicate through chemical signals called pheromones. Ants leave smell clues to food sources, while moths can detect potential partners from several kilometers away using these invisible chemical messages. What’s remarkable is how specific these signals are — different pheromones can represent alarm, mark trails, or attract mates.
Recent studies show that some insects even use vibrational communication, which means they will use a continuous shaking movement to share information. Treehoppers send signals through plant stems, creating vibrations that other treehoppers “hear” through their legs. Similarly, some caterpillar species shake to signal danger to their siblings.
The most surprising discovery involves electrical fields. Bees carry a slight electrical charge from flight, and flowers have weak negative charges. When a bee visits a flower, it leaves an electrical mark that tells other bees the flower’s nectar has been recently harvested. This helps bees avoid empty flowers, making their foraging more efficient.
Dr. Maria Schmidt, who leads insect communication research at the National Biology Institute, explains: “We’re just beginning to understand how rich and varied insect communication is. These tiny creatures have evolved multiple complicated systems that we’re only now learning to decode.”
As the research continues, scientists hope these findings will help develop new ways to protect crops without harming beneficial insects, and perhaps even inspire new communication technologies for humans.
12. How do bees share information about food locations
A. Through special dances. B. Through electrical fields.
C. Through chemical signals. D. Through body vibrations.
13. What does the underlined word “foraging” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Building homes. B. Fighting against enemies.
C. Searching for food. D. Escaping poisonous flowers.
14. What can be inferred from Dr. Schmidt’s statement
A. Insect communication research is nearly complete.
B. There is still much to learn about insect communication.
C. Most insect communication methods are now well understood.
D. There are only a few insect communication methods to be discovered.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Vital Role: Why Insects Matter in Nature
B. Simple Patterns: Understanding Insect Behavior
C. Hidden World: How Insects Really Communicate
D. Future Tech: Learning from Insect Communication

“John Tan! Wake up! You are late!” The loud voice of my mother rang in my ears. “Five more minutes...” I said sleepily, covering my ears with my pillow (枕头). I had a habit of being late for school every morning. Despite the repeated warnings of my discipline master and parents, I found it difficult to change.
“I have no time to drive you to school anymore. I need to get to work. Walk to school by yourself!” my mother said in annoyance as she hurried out of the door. As I was about to close my eyes again, realization hit me — Today I was taking my mathematics test! I glanced at the bedside clock. A minute before 7:30 am. “Oh no! I am going to be late!” I panicked as I jumped out of bed.
I got changed, grabbed my schoolbag and ran out of the house like a bolt of lightning. Just as I was about to run across the road, dark clouds filled the sky, appearing above like a heavy curtain. I dug in my schoolbag anxiously for an umbrella but to my regret, I had not packed one as I was late. Running now, I could see the school gate. Then, the heavens opened and I was wet from head to toe. I glanced at my watch. I was out of breath as I was ten minutes late for school!
What if the examination had already started What if I was not allowed to sit it because I was late
A lot of questions flooded my mind at the thought of missing the examination.
