一、阅读理解
A
A 16-year-old Granite Bay High School student is spreading holiday cheer by helping make sure kids in the community don’t go without a present this Christmas. Livy Hickey, a responsible youth ambassador for Marine (海军) Toys for Tots (a charity program), is on a mission to make this holiday season brighter for children in need.
Her journey with the nonprofit started when she was in eighth grade after she saw an activity for the organization, which has been providing holiday joy to families since 1947. “I love Christmas, it’s my favorite time of year, and I just value it so much,” said Livy, reflecting on her passion for the holiday season.
Livy’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed. Matt Vidosh, the local organizer for Marine Toys for Tots, quickly recognized her potential (潜力). “She was so well-spoken, warm and friendly. I honestly thought she was already a junior or senior in high school. She acted older than she actually was,” Vidosh said. For Livy, the desire to give back has deep roots. “My grandpa was a Marine, so I wanted to honor his legacy (遗产). That’s really what inspired me to take part in the program,” she explained.
She threw herself into the mission by buying toys, sorting them in the warehouse, and personally handing them out to families in need. Her hard work paid off when she was selected as one of just 35 student ambassadors nationwide for the program.
In 2024, the local Toys for Tots collected over 28, 000 toys, reaching more than 12,000 kids. The program depends on the generosity of people like Livy, and they’re always looking for donations of new, unwrapped toys. “We’re always accepting new, unwrapped toys, and if you’re someone who loves to make toys at home, we’ll take those too. Every little bit helps,” Vidosh added.
For Livy, the true reward (回报) comes when the kids open their gifts. “Seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces is priceless. It lights up their entire face. Honestly, it brightens my day and my whole year,” she said.

Money and the Meaning of Life is not a typical personal finance book. Written by Jacob Needleman, a philosophy professor at San Francisco State University, it invites readers to look at money not as something to spend or save, but as a mirror that reflects who we really are.
The book grew out of a course Needleman taught, where he noticed how deeply money shapes people’s emotions and decisions. To make his ideas easy to understand, Needleman creates two fictional characters based on the rich exchanges with his students: Bill, a millionaire who has everything except happiness, and Alyssa, an artist who becomes an accountant (会计) to feel safe but loses her passion along the way. Their stories help readers see that money cannot buy self-understanding, love, or true friendship. As Needleman writes, expecting money to give your life meaning is like expecting a hammer (锤子) to build a house by itself — it is just a tool.
Some readers might find this book a bit challenging because it asks deep questions rather than giving simple answers. However, for high school students, especially freshmen, it is a great introduction to thinking critically (批判性地) about money and values. You do not need to be a philosophy expert to enjoy it. The language is clear, and the examples come from everyday life.
What makes this book especially valuable for young readers is that it speaks directly to teenagers and young adults, who are just starting to form their views on money and success. Needleman reminds us that it’s important to use money wisely, not to waste it on unnecessary things, but also not to let the fear of being poor or the desire for wealth control our decisions. He encourages readers to ask themselves: What do I really want from life How can money help me achieve that, rather than become a problem
I highly recommend this book to every high school student who wants to gain a clear understanding of money’s role in life and avoid falling into the trap of blind materialism. It is a valuable guide that will benefit us for a lifetime.
25. What can we learn about Bill and Alyssa
A．They show a common job mistake.
B．They’re created based on real experience.
C．They prove artists earn less money.
D．They are skilled at managing finance.
26. What does the hammer example imply
A．Tools are useless without workers.
B．Building houses requires teamwork.
C．It’s challenging to use money wisely.
D．Money alone cannot create meaningful life.
27. What does the author suggest about teenagers
A．They easily fall into materialism.
B．They lack interest in philosophy.
C．They are forming their sense of values.
D．They should ignore the impact of wealth.
28. What type of writing is this text
A．A book review.
B．A news report.
C．A personal diary.
D．A research paper.

Four Interesting Festivals in 2026
The following events happening in 2026 will make you want to pack your bags and join the fun.
Holi Festival
Holi turns cities into a sea of rainbow colors. People throw handfuls of colored powder at friends, family, and total strangers, while music, dancing, and laughter fill the streets. The festival celebrates the arrival of spring and the success. It happens on March 3, 2026. Wear white clothes if you don’t mind getting dirty, and prepare to be covered head-to-toe in every color imaginable.
Wife-Carrying World Championship
Competitors race through a difficult course while carrying their wife. The course includes water hazards (障碍), and sand traps that test strength, speed, and teamwork. Winners receive their wife’s weight in beer. It happens on July 3 and 4, 2026. Despite the traditional name, any couple can compete, and the event attracts teams from around the world eager to prove their carrying skills and sense of humor.
Monkey Buffet Festival
Tables piled high with fruit, vegetables, and snacks are laid out for Lopburi’s famous monkeys in a yearly feast that is both generous and makes for great photos. Hundreds of monkeys rush to the spread, creating a wild feeding competition that delights photographers and tourists. Typically held in late November, the 2026 event doesn’t have fixed dates yet.
Night of the Radishes (萝卜)
Artists in Oaxaca spend hours carving oversized radishes into well-designed historical figures, and imaginary creatures, knowing their creations will dry out within a day. The time pressure makes the festival feel magical and short-lived, which is a special experience. It happens on December 23, 2026. It’s held yearly on the same date. Arrive early for the best views, because the detailed carvings are amazing but only last for a short time.
29. Which event requires both physical effort and teamwork

Winter is over, so chances are you’re ready for some major spring cleaning or cleansing. Whether you plan to clean your bedroom or wipe the windows, don’t forget to tidy up the kitchen! According to a study, a messy cooking space can lead to overeating.
As part of the study, 101 female students were put in standard kitchen and messy kitchen environments and were asked to write about a time when they felt in control or out of control. Next, they were given cookies, crackers and carrots. Students in the “messy kitchen” who wrote about feeling out of control ate about twice as many cookies as the people in the in-control situation.
The researchers found that a messy environment can actually make people more likely to eat unhealthy foods, but the person’s mindset (思维倾向) within that environment can either trigger or protect against overeating. In the messy kitchen, women who wrote about a time when they felt in control consumed fewer cookie calories than the women who wrote about being out of control.
As the researchers pointed out, our mindset affects whether we will overeat unhealthy foods while in a messy kitchen. If we go into the kitchen with an “in-control” attitude, we might not eat as many cookies. But then again, why not try out cleaning up the kitchen and see what it does
Everything that feeds you doesn’t come on a plate such as your relationships, physical activity, and spirituality. Your home environment is also a big part of that nourishment (营养). So whether you tidy up your kitchen or your living room, paying attention to your living space (just like your diet!) can have a positive effect on health.
32. Why were the students asked to write if they were feeling in control or not
A．To make them stay long in the kitchen.
B．To see the effect of the mindset on eating.
C．To learn if they could choose the right amount of food to eat.
D．To find out the relationship between the environment and mindsets.
33. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Break up.
B．Hold back.
C．Set off.
D．Depend on.
34. What suggestion does the author give
A．Keeping your living space clean.
B．Staying away from unhealthy food.
C．Finding suitable ways to stay healthy.
D．Protecting yourself against overeating.
35. The passage is probably taken from a(n) ______.
A．news story
B．research report
C．government document
D．advertisement

Why struggle with an essay when AI can generate one on your behalf in seconds Why personally respond to an email when AI can instantly produce automatic replies filled with all the typical greetings and talking-points ____51____ Nevertheless, the ease is not necessarily a good thing. Writing still can’t be replaced even in the AI-driven era.
Writing serves as a fundamental cognitive (认知的) exercise through which we realize what we truly understand, acknowledge the limits of our knowledge, and develop structured reasoning.

67. 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。
Mia and Chloe had been best friends since middle school. When their history teacher gave a group project about old civilizations, they worked together right away. Mia liked to plan everything and do her work early. Chloe always waited until the last minute. “Relax, we have two weeks,” Chloe would say, looking at her phone while Mia worked alone. Mia did not want to be bossy, so she kept quiet and did most of the work herself. She hoped everything would be fine in the end.
The night before the presentation (展示), Mia finished the slides, the speech, and the poster by herself. Chloe said she would practice her part in the morning. But the next day, something went wrong. When Chloe stood up to speak, she could not say the words well and got some facts wrong. She had never even read the slides. Their teacher, Mr. Evans, looked disappointed and said, “This does not match your research. See me after class.” Mia felt very sorry for herself. She had worked so hard, but now her grade might be low because of Chloe.
After class, Chloe caught up with Mia in the hallway. “I am really sorry. I let you down,” she said, her voice shaking. Mia took a deep breath and said, “I should have told you how I felt. I should not have done everything alone.” They went to talk to Mr. Evans together and told him the truth.
To their surprise, the teacher was not angry. “Telling the truth is more important than a perfect grade,” he said. “But you need to talk with each other. I will give you one more chance. Do the project again by next Friday.” Mia and Chloe were glad and knew that would be their best opportunity to start over — and this time, they would do it together.

The Color of Our Beloved Motherland
Dear teachers and classmates,
Red is the color of our motherland. It stands for courage, devotion and endless hope passed down by generations.
Last summer, I visited the revolutionary museum. Seeing old uniforms and handwritten diaries, I truly felt the red spirit carried by our ancestors. Their efforts brought us today’s peaceful life.
I will keep this red color in mind and strive to make our country better.
Thank you!

That weekend, they met at Mia’s house with a new attitude. Instead of letting one person finish all tasks, they divided work reasonably according to their strengths. Mia sorted out historical materials and designed clear slides, while Chloe searched vivid pictures and practiced her speaking lines repeatedly. Whenever they had different ideas, they communicated patiently instead of keeping silent. They spent the whole afternoon polishing every detail of the project, supporting and encouraging each other all the time.
From that experience, Mia and Chloe learned a good lesson. Good teamwork never means one person bears all the pressure. Honest communication and equal division of labor are the key to cooperation. They also realized hiding feelings would only hurt both friendship and work. Since then, they always share tasks and talk about troubles timely whenever they have group work, and their friendship grows much stronger than before.
