【2026·江苏苏北四市(徐州、淮安、连云港、宿迁)第一次调研B 篇】
Amit Ghose, a 35-year-old man of Indian-origin in Birmingham, has claimed that he was denied service at a
London café due to his appearance. He described his experience as upsetting, saying, “Everyone in the café was
staring at me. The person serving me looked up and said: ‘Oh,we’re not serving any more’. She turned around and
walked off. But clearly, they were still serving.”
Ghose underwent a surgery at 11, resulting in facial disfigurement(畸形), for which he was bullied in school.
He struggled with self-acceptance and had to hide his face, unwilling to show it to others for a long time. A
transfiguration came through a school activity—cricket, allowing him to connect with others and build friendships.
Through the sport, he was able to redefine himself, changing focus from his appearance to his skills and passion for
the game.
As an adult, he continued to face upsetting reactions to his appearance, including constant staring, and
whispered comments from onlookers. “The pointing, the tapping, the friend next to them saying ‘have you seen that
guy’s face’, that is also constant,” he added, drowning himself in desperation.
Ghose’s wife, Piyali, helped him learn to accept himself, encouraging him to share his story on social media.
Despite initial hesitation, he started a TikTok account in early 2023, gaining nearly 200,000 followers and millions
of likes. By sharing his experiences, Ghose became more self-accepting and confident. He transitioned from a law
firm job to full-time motivational speaking, prioritising helping young people.
“Disability or no disability, visible difference or no visible difference, we all have insecurities, we all have
things that we’re faced with, and challenges we’re faced with. I just want to share with people that if we truly
celebrate who we are, accept who we are, fall in love with who we are, then we can be more confident,” he said.
24. Why was Ghose denied service at the London café?
A. He arrived there after closing time.
B. The café was fully reserved that day.
C. The staff were biased against his looks.
D. He upset the regular work in the café.
25. What does the underlined word “transfiguration” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Shift.
B. Thought.
C. Prize.
D. Record.
26. What caused Ghose to share his story on social media?
A. Encouragement from his wife.
B. The success in his law firm job.
C. His childhood bullying experiences.
D. Requests from his TikTok followers.
27. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. You are enough just as you are.
C. A trouble shared is a trouble halved.
D. Where there is a will, there is a way.

(2026 届安徽省淮北市高三第一次质量检测)Early memories have the power to shape who you are.
Unfortunately, in my life, many of my formative moments centered around my struggles with body image.
For most of my life, I have been highly conscious of others’ perceptions of my appearance. Whenever I’m
around someone I don’t know well, I actively use body language to make myself appear thinner. When I was in
fourth grade, I remember asking my best friend, “Do you think I’m fat?” She responded, “No, of course not.” But
her response didn’t comfort me. Since then, I have been vigilant of my body; I realized that the way I see myself
isn’t the same as how others see me.
Hearing people talk about weight gain as a negative has affected how I feel about myself. One friend used to
tell me I’m on “the good side of plus-sized.” All it does is tell me that I’m overweight. In middle school, I felt like I
had to prove to my friends that I was active and healthy. And even today, I worry over normal weight changes, all
to try and avoid people sharing their “concerns” with my size.
Discussing body image is difficult. What I have found is that being allowed to speak openly without
judgment builds my self-confidence, because I feel that my voice is being heard. I am beginning to listen to my
body and understand how it works. I hope to stop overanalyzing and build confidence — not through a number on
the scale, but through self-acceptance.
24. What does the author realize after talking to her best friend?
A. Her friend truly understood her worries.
B. She needed to lose weight immediately.
C. Her self-image differed from others’ views.
D. Her appearance was objectively unattractive.
25. What does the underlined word vigilant mean in paragraph 2?
A. Slightly conscious.
B. Extremely aware.
C. Completely confident.
D. Comfortably familiar.
26. How did her friend’s words “the good side of plus-sized” affect the author?
A. It confirmed her fear of being overweight.
B. It provided comfort about her appearance.
C. It motivated her to exercise more regularly.
D. It helped her to understand body positivity.
27. What is the main message of the passage?
A. Social approval determines personal worth.
B. Childhood experiences cannot be overcome.
C. Weight loss should be the primary health goal.
D. Self-acceptance matters more than appearance.

(2026 届河北省高三第一次模拟)I have always enjoyed travelling. Having learned that my father was
seriously ill, I immediately returned from London to care for him and spend precious time together. After he passed
away, I felt an emptiness and longed to “be on the move” again.
In early 2023, I visited the Galapagos Islands for a much-needed break. On Floreana Island, I came across
Post Office Bay, where a barrel(桶)has served as an informal postbox since 1793. It was first used by sailors to send
mail back home: they would leave letters there, and other sailors finding mail addressed to their home ports would
take and deliver it when they returned. Today, tourists keep the tradition alive.
The barrel was full of letters and postcards waiting for delivery. I brought home two postcards: one from a
student to a teacher, and the other from a girl to her friend. The joy they brought to the recipients gave me great
satisfaction and pleasure and planted an idea in my mind—to spend a year delivering such letters while keeping my
remote job.
In March 2024, I returned to the Galapagos Islands and selected 55 letters addressed to people across seven
continents. Relying mainly on the addresses, I lost my way sometimes and asked locals for help. Most people were
shocked at first, but their surprise soon turned into smiles when they understood. There were challenges as well as
touching moments. In Norway, a woman mistook my selfie( 自拍照)stick for a weapon and called the police. In
Belize, a love letter reached a man who had broken up with his partner—and they reunited weeks later. My
favourite delivery was in Mexico City—it was a letter from a daughter to her ill mother, thanking her for
encouraging her to follow her dreams.
The journey ended in March this year, but the desire to explore and connect continues to define my path
forward.
24. What does the phrase “be on the move” refer to in the first paragraph?
A. Begin a journey. B. Return to work.
C. Take a break.
D. Explore the unknown.
25. What is special about Post Office Bay?
A. Sailors made it for contact.
B. It serves tourists specifically.
C. It was inspired by a barrel.
D. Everyone can be the postman.
26. What motivated the author to start his year-long letter delivery?
A. Encounters with the recipients.
B. Flexibility of his remote job.
C. Delight from his initial deliveries.
D. Traditions of Post Office Bay.
27. Which can best describe the author’s delivery journey?
A. Simple but heart-warming.
B. Eventful but far-reaching.
C. Dangerous but life-changing.
D. Expensive but eye-opening.

(2026 届湖南省永州市上学期高考第二次模拟考试)In a university rehearsal hall, he performs Xinjiang’s
eagle dance gracefully, across the globe, he wanders museums and art galleries, seeking the beauty of distant
cultures and long-lost histories. This may seem the daily life of an artist, but in reality, it belongs to Dawulijan
Yerhalik,a young archaeologist( 考古学家)who “converses with the earth” and devotes himself to uncovering
Xinjiang’s ancient secrets.
Born in Hutubi County, Xinjiang, Dawulijan spent his high school years in Suzhou and studied archaeology
at Peking University for a full decade, finally earning his doctoral degree. His career path took clear shape in
Professor Lin Meicun’s Silk Road Archaeology class: a slide of Xinjiang’s Kangjia Shimenzi Petroglyphs(岩画)left
him astonished by his lack of knowledge about his hometown’s precious heritage. In that very moment, a deep
connection to archaeology was established, and he determined to focus on Silk Road and Xinjiang archaeological
research.
His fieldwork journey started at the Tonggusibaxi Site in Aksu, where he perfected foundational skills like
soil texture identification and trowel use under Professor Chen Ling’s careful guidance. He finds excavating
sites(发掘遗址)used across multiple historical periods the most complex yet fascinating part of the work, as each
layer reveals unique traces of ancient human activity. In 2024, his team made a landmark discovery at the
Tangchaodun site — pieces of Chinese-written Buddhist scrolls. It was the first time such items had been found in
the northern Tianshan foothills, providing critical material for studying how Buddhist texts spread in the Western
Regions.
For Dawulijan, Xinjiang is a unique archaeological treasure, and his work is a sacred mission to tell
Xinjiang’s rich and vivid stories to the world.
24. The underlined word “converses” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A. Cooperates.
B. Competes.
C. Communicates.
D. Compares.
25. How did Dawulijan feel during Professor Lin’s class?
A. Impressed.
B. Hesitant.
C. Uninterested.
D. Confident.
26. What does the appeal of multi-period excavation sites lie in?
A. Possibility of making landmark discoveries.
B. Chance to polish essential archaeological skills.
C. Rare cultural relics native to northern Tianshan.
D. Unique traces of ancient human activity in each layer.
27. What does Dawulijan’s experience show?
A. High-tech skills are key to professional success.
B. Awards are the best proof of one’s professional value.
C. Love for your roots contributes to a meaningful calling.
D. Preserving cultural heritage is everyone’s shared mission.

(2026 届湖南省部分高中高三第一次联考)I was sitting on my living room sofa. “Get up and go to work
out,” I said to myself. No movement yet. Picturing the athlete who once ran for hours, trained nonstop, and played
with intensity couldn’t stir up the will to walk 10 yards to the gym for even 20 minutes of lifting.
I had graduated from college as a 21-year-old young man, and with that came the sudden end of my soccer
career. Losing that clarity hit harder than any physical challenge I’d ever faced. The scaffolding of my life had
fallen apart. It was replaced by a complex and confusing web of competing priorities with no clear hierarchy(层次)
—no coach telling me what mattered most, no obvious way to keep score. I felt directionless, empty and lost.
Months later, I met Arthur Brooks, the author of From Strength to Strength, by chance. He has spent decades
studying what makes people truly happy, and he has noticed a troubling pattern: We’ve lost our connection to
meaning, and that is what puts us in a bad mood. Meaning will slip away unnoticeably. The job that once energized
you will become routine. This is not failure but a human condition. We’re supposed to lose our sense of meaning
periodically because we never permanently solve it.
The most important thing that Brooks has taught me is that meaning isn’t a destination to reach but a way we
travel through life. The struggle never gets easier, but we can find joy in the difficulty. We can stop seeing these
tough times as our enemies and start seeing them as partners, letting each crisis of meaning teach us something new
about ourselves and what we truly value.
For my soccer-playing self—who was trapped in the belief that meaning should be permanent, something
given to us that provides a solid, sensible structure for one’s life—this would have sounded like terrible news, but
it’s actually liberating.
24. What can be learned about the author from paragraph 1?
A. He was exhausted.
B. He was demotivated.
C. He was ambitious.
D. He was disorganized.
25. What does the underlined word “scaffolding” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Supporting item.
B. Temporary plan.
C. Hidden hardship.D. Emotional bond.
26. Why may we feel unhappy according to Brooks?
A. We struggle to follow our routines.
B. We tend to pursue unrealistic goals.
C. We are disconnected from meaning.
D. We are faced with demanding tasks.
27. What lesson has the author learned from Brooks?
A. Celebrating small moments in life.
B. Accepting struggles as unavoidable.
C. Welcoming unpredictable changes.
D. Valuing life’s journey over purpose.

(2026 届江西省新余市高三一模)Efforts to help Scotland’s red squirrels are bearing positive fruits, which
owes much to the Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels(SSRS)project and its helper, Polly Pullar, who has transformed
her farm into red squirrels’ natural habitat.
Polly recalls her first encounters with red squirrels at school in Dunkeld. Despite being a top student and
popular girl on campus, she, as a boarder, frequently missed her family far away when she was alone. She got her
first baby squirrels to look after in the nearby woods. “I became completely absorbed in them and they distracted
me from missing home too much,” she says.
The squirrels eventually returned to the wild, and since then she has regularly taken more in, developing
special techniques such as regular touching to stimulate bodily functions. In Polly’s view, the eventual release is
often challenging because the newly released squirrels still need feeding until they rewild themselves. Their
susceptible character makes them suffer from stress more seriously than other small creatures.
Polly’s own farm, where she lives now, has a rising population of the reds. With the help of the SSRS, more
than 20,000 trees have been planted. On the farm, everything is kept untidy. “We arrange it intentionally to keep the
living environment of squirrels original and natural.” To Polly’s relief, it has proved a major boost for the reds’
population.
Polly believes the reds have a healthy future if efforts can be maintained. That is a matter of money, one for
the politicians. The experience of raising red squirrels has taught Polly a lesson: “When I have these baby squirrels
in my hands and they are completely dependent on me, they highlight the fact that we humans hold the key to
nature. It is our duty to protect the natural world.”
24. What did tending the baby squirrels relieve Polly of?
A. Social anxiety.
B. Academic pressure. C. Intense homesickness.
D. Life’s boredom.
25. The underlined word “susceptible” in the sentence probably means ________.
A. resistant to change
B. easily affected
C. extremely aggressive
D. totally indifferent
26. Why doesn’t Polly keep the farm neat and well arranged?
A. To attract the attention of the SSRS.
B. To safeguard a habitat free from disturbance.
C. To seek politicians’ economic support.
D. To make room for newly-planted trees.
27. What do Polly’s words mainly convey in the last paragraph?
A. Her pride in human superiority.
B. Her affection for red squirrels.
C. Her appreciation of the wildness.
D. Her awareness of shared responsibility.
