Passage 1
（2025·江苏无锡·期终教学质量调研（一模）
When Sam was two years and two months old, he began to shut the world away. The once-happy little boy,
who was already starting to pick up words of both English and Spanish, suddenly stopped speaking; stopped
looking his family in the eye; stopped communicating altogether. Most of the time, all Sam did was lie on the sofa
touching his ears.
He started to display certain behavioral changes. He began to have this funny thing with straight lines where
he would pick up a toy and look at it sideways, or lie on his front for hours on end, rolling a car in front of his eyes.
Within two years, his mother Jo visited one expert after another with Sam and tried various treatment
methods; however, nothing seemed to work. What was worse, in about three weeks Sam’s grandfather died of
cancer, his parents divorced and his family were robbed — and all the while, Sam was becoming more and more
withdrawn. His eyes were dead.
And it was then that Sam was eventually diagnosed (诊断) with autism (自闭症).
As a single mother, Jo had no choice but to go straight to work herself to earn a living while researching the
condition and try her best to help Sam to come back out of himself. For Jo, the following eight years was a
terrifying time, watching her son disappearing just in front of her eyes. All methods tried, money running out, Jo
had no choice but to take Sam, by now completely non-verbal (不使用言语交际的), from the hustle and bustle
(喧嚣) of the city to the calm of the Devon countryside.
Once on a local farm, they came across Chester, a mini pig belonging to a farmer. It was so small that they
didn’t even see it at first sight. As they walked down the grassland, the only little pig was hiding in the corner. He
looked sad and lonely, like Sam often did.

Passage 2
（2025·湖南长沙·高三上学期新高考适应性考试）
It was New Year’s Day. I made a resolution to find my stray ( 走失的) dog, Puppy-Rocky. In the morning, I
could hear icy rain knocking the windows. I said a quick prayer for Puppy-Rocky. He was out there somewhere in
the storm, and I could just feel it. Sure, it had been three months since he’d gone missing, but I still had faith. It
was the season for miracles (奇迹).
That fall, Puppy-Rocky, my sweet dog, had disappeared from my parents’ house in California. He had been
staying with them while I was between apartments. At the time, I lived and worked in New York City. I was staying
with friends until I signed my lease (租约) on a new place. Puppy-Rocky had gotten out of my parents’ house two
days before I was set to fly back home to pick him up.
My mom and I spent that entire visit searching for him. Mom was the family’s resident “realist”, which
meant she spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst. “He’s either been hit by a car or been
taken in by someone who found him,” she said. I rolled my eyes. Mom always supported me, but this time she
doubted. She could have done with a little more faith!
Besides, though I couldn’t explain it, I believed I’d see my Puppy-Rocky again. His barks never faded away.
He’d been homeless when I first met him, a naughty little dog that had survived all on his own. If any dog could do
the impossible, it was my Puppy-Rocky. Even after I returned to New York City without him and the weeks
stretched into months, deep down I had this feeling that we’d be reunited.
Now, home again for the holidays, I was determined to pick up my search. I grabbed Puppy-Rocky’s carrier,
loaded it into the car, and then asked my mom to drive me to the shelter for the homeless dogs, hoping he’d been
found.
“Dave, you have to be realistic,” my mom said as we headed to the garage. “He’s been gone too long. You’re
not going to find him.”

Passage 1
（2025·浙江绍兴·一模）
For years, swimming was one of those things where I thought: “I’m not good at it, and I never will be.” That
thought lingered there most of my childhood.
This all changed last year when the company I worked for announced that they were going to arrange a
swimrun, a race where you partially swim and partially run to finish the race. Of course, it was a voluntary activity
and I was not going to participate.
However, as the weeks progressed, I started thinking to myself. “What would it feel like to break through my
comfort zone and finally face my insecurity?” To help the swimrun participants prepare for the race, the company
arranged an opportunity to learn how to swim freestyle with a swim instructor. I ultimately decided to at least
participate in the first swimming lesson.
I was mentally prepared to be the worst student during the lesson. However, as it turned out, I had plenty of
co-workers that were equally bad at swimming. After a few swimming lessons, I even got compliments for how
quickly I managed to improve. Not only had I shattered my old belief about my disability in water, but something
else had started to stir. I had gotten a taste for swimming and was curious to see where it could lead me. “How
would it feel like to be completely comfortable in the water?” I wondered.
I started going to the public bathhouse to practice the few tips I had gotten from the swimming instructor. I’d
watch YouTube videos and try and mimic the movements by myself in the water to the best of my abilities.
Without a doubt - in the beginning, I looked like a drowning monkey. I would swim; I would sink, coughing
up water, and repeat it all over again. I’d get yelled at for swimming too slow at the freestyle range. However, I
focused on the process and the soon-to-be new skillset that I did not get discouraged by the slow progress nor the
occasional scolding.

Passage 2
（2025·浙江台州·一模）
“Why can’t Grandpa just be normal? Why does he have to be so odd?” Carter asked his Grandma.
Grandma laughed. “I’ve considered that for many years.”
They sat on a Florida beach, watching Grandpa and his friends riding wave-skis in the ocean. The early
morning sun warmed their faces as the sand gradually heated beneath them.
Carter scooped up a handful of sand and let it sift through his fingers. “Why do we have to come here so
early?” he questioned, noting that the rest of his family was still asleep.
With a smile, Grandma explained that the morning waves were calmer with less wind. She mentioned how
Grandpa loved the thrill of a big wave’s shadow looming over him before it hit.
Carter grumbled that none of his friends knew what a wave-ski was, and they thought it was odd when he
tried to explain it. He wondered why Grandpa didn’t pick a more typical hobby, like restoring old cars, which he
thought seemed cooler.
Grandma patted Carter’s shoulder and replied that wave-skiing was like surfing on a short kayak ( 皮艇),
combining elements of kayaking and surfing. She added how they paddled out to catch bigger waves like surfers,
steering with a paddle, and highlighted the thrill of the experience.
“Nobody’s grandpa does this. I love you both, but neither of you act s like typical grandparents,” Carter
remarked.
Grandma laughed again, sharing that Grandpa’s friends were also grandparents and asked what else they
should be doing.
Carter, unsure, simply muttered, “I don’t know. Grandparent stuff.”
“Each summer, your family visits. We enjoy the beach, swim, and cherish our time together. That’s what
truly matters. Everyone has their own way of enjoying life, and for Grandpa, it’s wave-skiing.” Grandma paused,
her eyes sparkling with warmth.
Carter sighed. “I guess. But it’s still odd.”
“Why don’t you give it a try? You might find it’s more fun than you think,”
Grandma encouraged. Carter hesitated but agreed. “Okay, I’ll give it a shot.”

Passage 3
(2025 江苏省泰州市海陵区江苏省泰州中学一模)
My friend invited me to a trapeze (高空秋千) class. I was doubtful because of a lack of courage and a short
of self-confidence, but her enthusiasm and assurances of strict safety rules won me over.
I had been fearful of heights since elementary school and avoiding my fear of heights became second
nature. But here I was, at age twenty-six, facing my fear of heights in a rather extreme way. I had come around to
the idea of trying trapeze. I figured it wasn’t much different from swinging (舞动) on the monkey bars as a kid.
One difficulty I didn’t expect was the ladder (梯子). In order to reach the trapeze, I had to climb up a twenty-two-
foot ladder.
I could hear one of my classmates expressing her impatience with my slow climb up the ladder. “If she’s
afraid of heights, why did she sign up for a trapeze class?” However, my friend was at the top of the ladder, trying
to encourage me. Besides, his distraction techniques helped to take my mind off my dangerous task. I found a
rhythm(节奏) and kept going. With a slow and steady pace, I made it to the top. The cheers from my classmates
rang out below.
An instructor told me to step to the edge of the platform. He reminded me of the safety rules, including the
net below that would catch me at the bottom. He also asked me to listen to the directions while in the air, so I
could perform a trick.
As the instructor counted down, I took a deep breath and pushed off the platform, swinging back and forth.
At that moment, I lost awareness of time and space. Fortunately, the instructor’s voice came over the loudspeaker,
giving me step-by-step instructions for performing a trick. Instead of doubting my inability to perform the trick, I
took his directions one step at a time.

A Game of Growth
The gym was alive with the sounds of squeaking (嘎吱作响) shoes, bouncing basketballs, and teammates
shouting plays. It was game day, and I should have been focused, but my mind was elsewhere. My thoughts
dragged me down, and I couldn’t shake the heaviness I felt.
Every time I passed the ball, Ryan, one of our best players, would make some snide ( 挖苦的) remarks:
“Can’t you aim better, Eliot?” or “Guess we know who won’t be taking the game-winning shot today.” His words
cut deep, feeding my doubts. I wanted to fire back, but the energy wasn’t there.
Coach Rivera noticed something was off. “Eliot, can I talk to you for a second?” he said after practice. His
voice was calm but firm, the way it always was when he saw something wrong. I sighed, knowing I couldn’t avoid
the conversation. “Yeah, Coach?” He studied me for a moment, his eyes serious. “You’re not yourself lately. I’ve
also noticed there’s tension between you and Ryan. What’s going on?”
I hesitated, then said, “Nothing, I’m fine.”
Coach didn’t buy it. “I’ve been around long enough to know when something’s weighing on a player. You’ re
not just dealing with basketball issues, are you?”
I finally admitted, my throat tight and my eyes starting to water, “I have some family problems…my parents
had an accident, and I’ve had to take care of them.”
Coach nodded, understanding. “That’s a lot to handle. But Ryan... he’s a tough guy, and you two are
teammates, and the team only works if you’ re united. Let’s talk things through.”
The next day. Coach pulled Ryan and me aside. The conversation was awkward at first. Ryan explained that
he felt I wasn’t pulling my weight in the games. I told him about my situation though I didn’t go into details.
Ryan’s expression softened. “I didn’t know you were dealing with so much. I’m sorry for pushing you too
hard,” he said. “I could’ve handled it better,” I admitted.

Passage 5
（2025·广东大湾区普通高中毕业班联合模拟考试(一)）
The boys in the block were going to have a roller-skating (滑旱冰) race next Saturday. They were divided
into two teams: the Sunnysiders and the Shadysiders, with five boys on each team. Andy was on the Sunnysiders.
They lost last year, so they were desperate to win this time. But Andy knew his short legs made it hard for him to
skate fast.
One day, Andy was greeted by a pleasant “Hello” as he was putting on his roller-skates. He looked up and
saw his new neighbor, Francis. “Hello! ” he replied cheerfully, noticing his neighbor’s long legs. “Wanna skate with
me? Look at your long legs! Just the right kind to make you a good skater.” “I’d love to. You know, I’m really good at
roller skating and I used to help my team win.” Francis said, his tone now heavy with sadness. “But I lost my roller
skates and my mom just cannot afford to buy me another pair.”
Andy thought it was a shame for Francis. As a new comer, there were undoubtedly many moments when he
must have felt lonely. Andy thought to himself, wondering what he could do for Francis. But he had to say goodbye
in a hurry since the team were meeting in the open space on the corner to talk over some plans.
When talking to the team captain, Andy suggested adding another boy to their team, Francis. But the
captain said “No” as the team knew nothing about him. Besides, the Shadysiders wouldn’t let them take on an
extra player.
In the following days, Andy practiced very hard with his team. Then came the day before the race when he
saw Francis on the sidewalk, watching them skate past, his eyes filled with a sense of loss. Somehow it upset Andy,
and his desire to help his new neighbor resurfaced. Then he thought of a way that could not only help his team
win, but help Francis fit in.

（2025·广东省建文教育集团高三1 月第一次模拟考试）
It was my inaugural year as an educator in a special needs classroom, and I harbored a degree of
uncertainty regarding what to anticipate at our annual Special Olympics track meet. My students presented a
spectrum of challenges, ranging from mild learning disabilities to severe palsy. Mark was one of the latter,
confined to a motorized wheelchair and constantly battling his spasms to maintain control over his movements.
Despite this, he consistently exhibited a positive disposition, greeting everyone each morning with an expansive
smile.
His classmates held him in high regard and made a concerted effort to ensure his inclusion in group
activities. This was particularly evident with Mike, Andy, and Lucas, three boys who excelled in sports. In my heart,
I knew Mark aspired to be like them, unencumbered by the physical limitations that bound him, and the grace
with which they navigated the playing field seemed to captivate him with a sense of wonder. He never missed
their competitions and was always their most ardent supporter. Witnessing Mike, Andy, and Lucas cross the finish
line, Mark’s excitement was palpable.
On the day of the track and field event, Mike, Andy, and Lucas performed admirably in their heats,
providing the typically tranquil crowd with ample reason to cheer. Mark, seated on the sidelines, enthusiastically
cheered them on, though he finished last in his own heat due to the limitations of his wheelchair’s speed.
The culminating event of the day was the 400-meter race, in which everyone was invited to participate,
either by walking or running, according to their capabilities, around the entire circumference of the track. We
observed as the sprinters launched into action — Mike, Andy, and Lucas, each intent on demonstrating their
athletic prowess.
However, as the trio of exhausted runners reached the finish line, they paused and turned to survey the
scene behind them. At the rear of the crowd, resolutely determined not to be left behind, was Mark. His
classmates had already surpassed him, and even the slowest walkers were outpacing him.

Passage 1
（2025·浙江温州·一模）
The stage lights in the music hall darkened, as the next school’s concert band settled onstage. The First
Chair, a young violinist, called upon each section to play, tuning them with precision and grace. The moment the
musical director appeared, a wave of applause filled the air.
The annual High School Music Festival was the highlight of my year. As a music teacher, I never missed a
session, always amazed by the extraordinary talents the musical directors inspired in their students. But this year
might be my last visit. With age catching up, my desire for retirement was growing stronger.
Honestly, there was always a touch of dissatisfaction and envy in my heart as I watched these school bands,
because I had never been able to develop a band to this level. I taught in a small primary school. My students
played beginner music, and they were happy when we managed to play from the start all the way to the end of a
piece, with all the instruments finishing together. The complexities of full tone, dynamic control, and balance were
beyond their abilities.
As the band opened with their first piece, the striking sound of violins, accompanied by the lively notes of
pianos, set my heart pounding. Wouldn’t it be great to be the musical director for one of these massive high school
bands? I thought as the music transported me. When the last notes rang out, there was a brief silence before
thunderous applause erupted. My aging eyes scanned ( 察看) the stage, seeking familiar faces among the
performers. But my vision was no longer sharp enough to recognize anyone.
During the tea break, I headed toward the entrance hall. “Miss Jones!” a young man’s voice cut through the
crowd. I recognized the concert uniform he was wearing. It was the very violinist I had been admiring. Puzzled, I
searched his face for familiar features. It turned out to be Bradley, a former student of mine who was difficult to
forget. Schoolwork had been hard for him, and he had struggled through all his subjects. It was a pleasant surprise
to meet him here. We sat down and had a chat.

Mary was the art teacher for primary school students. On this particular day, she was guiding them through
the process of drawing a scenic landscape. Akila yawned(打哈欠), clearly disinterested - drawing wasn’t her thing.
A small group of students gathered around Tina, laughing at her unusual drawing: a sun sporting sunglasses and
trees topped with ice cream cones.
Mary instructed Tina firmly but with unease, “Draw it the way I showed you.” As the lesson continued,
doubt crept into Mary’s mind. Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in? She scanned
the room, observing her students’ faces – some concentrated, others uncertain. Akila’s disinterest was clear and
Tina’s imaginative drawing had been met with ridicule instead of praise.
After class, Mary sat down with Tina, her tone softening, “Why did you draw the sun with sunglasses and
the trees with ice creams?” she asked gently.
Tina’s eyes sparkled with a touch of rebellion (叛逆)-“I love ice cream, and I thought the sun would look
cool with sunglasses. Why do we always have to draw like everyone else?”
Mary paused, her thoughts racing. Tina’s drawings weren’t just curious —they were a window into a world
where imagination ruled, where rales could be bent into delightful chaos. Was she, by enforcing a rigid style, killing
that very creativity?
The next morning, Mary walked into the classroom with a renewed sense of purpose. She placed a large
sheet of paper in front of the class and announced a new project: they would create a collective( 集体的)artwork
titled “Our Dream World” with no rules. They were free to use colors, shapes, and patterns however they wished.
At first, the students hesitated, unsure of this newfound freedom. Akila leaned back, skeptical of what
seemed like another pointless exercise. But Tina, her creativity no longer restricted, eagerly grabbed her crayons
and began to draw with abandon. Then, Maya joined in. And then Michael...

I flew through the back door, excitedly announcing to my mom, “Mom, I’ve been nominated (提名) for the
National Junior Honor Society!” My mother smiled with pride and replied, “I’m so proud of you, honey.”
Together in the family room, I began filling out the application for the Honor Society. It required proof of
possessing all the necessary candidate characteristics. The following day, I submitted the paperwork to my advisor
and didn’t give it much further thought.
Months passed, and one afternoon, as soon as I stepped off the bus, I rushed home with a letter from the
school regarding the Honor Society. “Mom,” I said, handing her the letter with tears welling up in my eyes, “I
didn’t make it. They didn’t choose me.” My mother hugged me and said, “Oh, honey, I’m sorry. There must have
been some kind of mistake.”
That night at dinner, I said sadly, “It’s not fair.” My mother agreed and then shared a story about her high
school friend who was intelligent and kind-hearted but never made the National Honor Society. Despite his hurt
and anger, he became a world-renowned lung cancer specialist, saving lives every day.
I grasped my mom’s message: not being part of the Honor Society wouldn’t define my future, but it was
certainly painful in the moment. However, seeing most of my friends get selected made those weeks especially
tough for me. I opened up to my parents about how difficult it was and declared, “This shouldn’t happen to
anyone else.” We brainstormed ways to improve the selection process and arranged a meeting with the school

When Devon’s sister, Lil, went off to college, Devon’s stomach felt all twisty. Then Mom said that Kapil, a
high-school student from India, would be staying in their house and living in Lil’s room, for they were the host
family. The piece of news made Devon’s stomach feel worse, as he missed his sister so much. “What if I can’t
understand him?” Devon asked. “He speaks English well,” Mom said.
On Kapil’s first day, he exchanged some small talk with Devon before disappearing into his new room. Lil’s
room, Devon reminded himself. As days went on, Kapil started spending more time in the rest of the house. He was
in the kitchen a lot, whose cooking always filled the air with steam and spice that made Devon’s eyes water.
“Smells wonderful!” Mom exclaimed. When Lil called a few days later, Devon told her about Kapil’s cooking.
“Lucky! I love Indian food!” Lil said. “But it seems too spicy forme,” replied Devon.
One day, Mom had to work late. “Kapil will stay with you until I get home,” she explained. Devon’s stomach
twisted. Lil had always stayed with him when Mom had to work late.
When Devon got home from school, Kapil greeted him at the door. “Would you like a snack?” Kapil asked.
Devon shrugged. Lil and he used to cook together after school, which they called “making messes.” Kapil opened
the refrigerator. “How about a yogurt?” “I had one at breakfast,” responded Devon in a cold voice. Kapil opened a
cupboard and smiled. “Wait here.” He returned with a package. “I’ll cook an Indian snack,” he announced. Kapil
pulled out around, thin cracker the size of a small Frisbee, poured oil into a pan and fried the cracker. Then the
kitchen was filled with spicy smells. After a while, Kapil handed Devon a plate with the sizzling pancake on it.
“Papadum (印度薄饼),” he said. “Made from bean flour.”

Kevin has always adored Halloween. This year, as always, he’d collected everything he needed for his
“Halloween masterpiece.” One evening, he took a stroll down the block, noticing how everyone had decorated their
houses with glowing pumpkins and ghosts. He was practically glowing with excitement.
But as he walked, something that caught his eye dimmed his smile. One house stood dark and empty. No
pumpkins. No cobwebs. Just a bare, lonely porch (门廊). It was Mrs. Kimbly’s house. He told me about it when he
got home.
“Mom, Mrs. Kimbly’s house doesn’t have any decorations. I think she needs help.” I told him maybe she
didn’t want to decorate this year, but Kevin was certain. “Halloween is supposed to be fun. She shouldn’t have to
spend it feeling bad.”
That was my Kevin. His heart was as big as the world. After I said it was okay to check on her, he gathered
his decorations, even his favorite carved pumpkin, and went to her house. He decorated her front porch and was
super excited until he heard her yell behind him.
“What are you doing here?” she asked.
“I…I just wanted to decorate your house,” he stammered.
“I don’t need any decorations!” she shouted and removed the decorations. “Now go away!”
When Kevin returned home that night, he looked completely defeated. He told me how unhappy Mrs.
Kimbly looked. “Maybe she’s really lonely, honey,” I said gently. “Not everyone feels happy during the holidays.”
On Halloween night, he dressed up as a vampire but looked less excited than usual. As we made our way
down the street, he couldn’t stop glancing toward Mrs. Kimbly’s house. It was still dark and empty, and I knew he
was worried the other kids would see it as a target for tricks.
“Mom, I’m going to stay there,” he said suddenly. “I don’t want anyone to mess with her house.” And that’s
just what he did. He took his candy bag and sat down on her porch steps. Whenever kids came up expecting candy,
he’d give out some of his own. His candies dwindled quickly, but he stayed put, determined to protect her home.

Passage 3
（2025·浙江嘉兴·一模）
It was the second day in the new office and Maya was still on her own. Except the man who had taken her
induction (入职), there was no one else who had said a “hi” to the young woman.
Not only was it a new office, it was also a new city. While she had successfully climbed the corporate ladder
(阶梯) for a better salary, she hadn’t really made any friends in the new city or office yet. Looking at the whole
workplace from her seat at the end of the hall, Maya felt an urge to cry. But she was a grown woman and that was
simply not an option.
She decided to eat her lunch, as lonely as it might feel. Her lunch box revealed fried rice with vegetables and
an old memory hit her from the depth of her mind.
It was fifteen years ago and their sports period had just been canceled. The children had brought some snacks
from the school canteen to the classroom and were chewing noisily. The class teacher came in with a young girl.
“This is Tina, new to Delhi and your school. Make her feel welcome, you all,” she said.
While the students said a big “hi” to her in chorus, that was all they did. Tina was seated right next to Maya,
something the latter (后者) didn’t like. So, she turned to Tina and said, “My best friend sits next to me. You have
been given this seat because she is absent today. Once she is back, you have to find yourself a new seat, OK?” Tina
sadly nodded her head, but Maya didn’t care. As the popular girl in class, Maya had a lot going for her—she had
many friends, the teachers loved her and she was the queen of debating. So, she hardly spoke to the new girl who
sat next to her for a whole week.

Passage 4
（2025·浙江金华·一模）
Knock-knock-knock. “Hello?” I called timidly through my cousin Anita’s bedroom door. No answer. There’s
no way she forgot I was moving in today, right? I thought. “Anita? It’s me, Norah! ” I called again.
I had only met my cousin once a couple of years ago when Anita and Aunt Sonam had flown to California to visit.
Mom had hoped Anita and I would be friends. But all Anita wanted to talk about was soccer, which was practically
a foreign language to me. Secretly, I had felt relieved when the visit was over.
Now, I was standing in my aunt’s tiny apartment in New York City, and there was still no answer from Anita.
I knocked again, a little louder this time. Finally, Anita opened the door. She apologized, saying she had been
listening to music. But instead of inviting me in, Anita frowned at my massive suitcase.
Behind her, I could see a blue beanbag chair crowded next to a bunk bed ( 上下铺). In my old room in
California, I’d had a double bed all to myself, and my original artwork had covered all the walls. Anita’s walls, on
the other hand, were covered with posters of the U. S. women’s soccer team. I didn’t see any free space to hang
anything else.
“C-can I come in?” I asked, blushing. Anita nodded, but she barely moved. I had no choice but to squeeze by
her into the room. I put my stuff against the wall and Anita started bouncing the soccer ball from her foot to her
knee and back again. Suddenly, her foot kicked the ball at an odd angle, and it accidentally flew toward me.
“Whoops! ” Anita called. “Think fast!”
But I was still taking in the surroundings, so the ball caught me off guard and bounced off my shoulder.
Forcing a smile, I pretended it didn’t bother me. Unsure of what to do, I took out my sketchbook ( 素描本) and
colored pencils and sat down. Just holding my sketchbook made me feel more at ease. I started sketching aimlessly
while Anita went back to bounce her ball.

Passage 5
(2025 江苏省南京市、盐城市高三上学期一模)
I had always been cautious around Max. He was the quiet kid in our grade, the one who sat at the back of
the classroom with his hood (连衣帽) pulled low over his face. Max rarely spoke to anyone, and when he did, his
words were rudely brief and often misunderstood. Rumors (谣言) about him spread like wildfire - some said he
got into fights after school, others claimed he had once stolen a teacher’s wallet, l didn’t know if any of them was
true, but l stayed away, just like everyone else.
Then one Friday morning, Max didn’t show up to class. A low voice of curiosity spread through the room,
and soon enough, theories about his absence started flying. “He got suspended,” whispered a girl next to me. “I
heard he struck a guy outside the library. ” I wasn’t surprised, and nodded in agreement.
Later that day, I found myself at the park, enjoying the first warm day of spring. That’s when I saw him - Max
- sitting alone on the swings. His usual guarded expression was gone, and replaced by something I hadn’t
expected: sadness. Against my better judgment, I walked over.
“Hey,” I said awkwardly.
Max looked up, surprised. “What do you want?”
“I…just saw you here and thought I’d say hi.”
He gave me a strange look but said nothing. I was about to walk away when I noticed a wrinkled piece of
paper in his hand, “What’s that?” I asked.
For a moment, he hesitated. Then, with a shrug, he handed it to me. It was a hospital discharge form, and
the name on it wasn’t his. It was his younger sister’s. I looked at him, confused.
“She’s been sick for months,” Max explained, his voice barely heard. “Yesterday was bad. My mom couldn’t
leave work, so I stayed at the hospital and looked after her all night. ”
It hit me then how wrong we had all been about Max. The tough outward appearance, the distance - he
wasn’t trying to push people away. He was carrying a weight none of us understood.

（2025·安徽淮北市和淮南市高三上学期第一次质量检测）
When Sabrina heard her dad Pete Parker, a coal miner, parking his van ( 货车) in the garage, she kept
switching channels on the TV, hoping he wouldn’t ask her about her upcoming graduation that was scheduled in
two days. She feared her dad would ruin her graduation for looking “dirty” and smelling of coal and sweat.
“Hey, sweetheart! Look what I got for you, ” Pete said as he entered, sounding happy. Then he left two
packages on the table.
Sabrina was surprised and quickly unwrapped one box and found a beautiful dress inside. She loved it very
much. Then she opened the other box and saw a new suit in it.
“Thanks for the dress, dad. But for whom is this suit? ”
“It’s for me, honey! I have to look amazing. . . it’s your graduation, after all! ”
Sabrina bit her lips in frustration and said, “Dad, I don’t want you to come. All my friends and their parents
will be attending. I don’t want them to laugh at me after seeing you, alright? ”
Sabrina’s words hit Pete like a bag of bricks. He was so hurt because he was looking forward to attending
the event. However, he knew Sabrina was too young to understand his love for her. “She’s still a little girl! ” he
comforted his broken heart and decided to still go to the graduation party with a surprise.
On the day of the graduation, Pete arrived and sat in the seating area for the parents. When his daughter’s
name was announced, Pete ran up to the front with his phone and started filming as Sabrina received her
diploma. Sabrina looked so pretty, and Pete was so proud she was graduating.
Suddenly, Sabrina heard the host say, “Mr. Parker, can we please have you on stage. ” Sabrina was confused
and didn’t understand what was going on as she saw Pete walking over to the platform.

（2025·福建厦门·高中毕业班第一次质量检测）
Mary was very happy when she got her dream part-time job at the local bookshop. It was right next to her
school, so she could walk there after classes. Her boss, Mr. Thompson, was very nice and trusted her with lots of
important tasks from the beginning.
One afternoon, Mr. Thompson gave Mary and her classmate Alex a special task. He wanted them to make a
plan to promote a new book series all written by teenagers. “This series is unique because it reflects the voices of
young authors,” Mr. Thompson explained. “I’m counting on you two to come up with something that will truly
connect with the young readers. You’ll have to finalize your plan before Friday since the school Reading Festival is
just around the corner.”
Mary was very excited and happy to help. She nodded eagerly. “Absolutely, Mr. Thompson! I can’t wait to
get started.” She was so thrilled that she couldn’t stop smiling on her way home. Finally, there was a chance to
show everyone what she could do.
But working with Alex wasn’t going to be easy. Alex was known for being bossy and having strong opinions.
When Mary met up with him at the library to discuss their project, she knew it would be tricky. “I’ve worked on
similar projects before, and simple booths (展位) in the school courtyard always work, and we could hand out
flyers,” Alex said, without even looking at Mary.
Mary frowned (皱眉头) as she thought about Alex’s idea. She knew that booths worked well, but she felt
they could do something more exciting to catch the attention of their classmates. The new book series deserved a
special promotion. “If we just follow the same old methods, how will this book series stand out?” Mary argued.
“What if we have a book reading session with some authors? Or...?”
Alex, however, didn’t seem interested in exploring new ideas. He rolled his eyes at Mary’s suggestions for
creativity, arguing that they didn’t have the time or resources to try new things. He believed the usual methods
would work best.

Passage 8
（2025 河南省焦作市博爱县第一中学高三上学期一模）
Some of my earliest memories of music were the days when I played violin together with my grandpa,
whose favorite song was “Big Eyed Rabbit”. “As long as you’ve got music, you’ve got good company,” my
grandfather always said.
However, I didn’t have either in my life these days. Having left my hometown where my family and friends
were, I was in an up-hill struggle to earn money from temporary jobs as I battled to get auditions( 试听) for my
acting career in New York. Trapped in self-doubt, I felt alone and abandoned.
“Would I ever find happiness again?” I thought while visiting the park near where I lived. Suddenly, I heard
something unexpected—a sound that winded its way here. Somewhere nearby, an orchestra ( 管弦乐队) was
practising. I followed the sounds to a red-roofed building. Inside, the musicians had started to practice, stopping
and starting, trying again, laughing at some joke the conductor had made. I approached the director during a
break to admire the music. “This is a community orchestra,” he said, “you’re welcome to join. All you need is an
instrument.” If only I could afford to buy one! “I’ll keep that in mind,” I said to the director, and walked back home.
The next day the director told me they would have a music show at the city centre and invited me to go
with them to get familiar with everything in the orchestra. I arrived early that day and decided to wander around.
As I past a bookstore, a sign made me stop short: Schumacher Violin Maker. I stepped inside. Stringed instruments
hung from the ceiling. At the very corner lay an old violin, which drew my attention. It reminded me of my
grandfather’s. An older man in a brown coat sat at a worktable, looking carefully over the top of his glasses as he
adjusted the bridge on a violin.
“It’s funny I noticed your shop today,” I said and told him my story.
“So, you need a violin,” he said when I’d finished, raising a bushy eyebrow.
“Do you happen to rent them?”

Lily complained as she struggled to remove a mark on her dream California Spirit T-shirt. Lily was not feeling
any sort of California Spirit at all. Moreover, she was not in high spirits at all. Her annoying twin sister, Polly, had
completely ruined her nice weekend.
Maybe Lily had pushed Polly unintentionally, causing her to spill (洒出) juice everywhere onto the floor, and
mom had blamed Polly without letting her explain. Polly, in a stormy mood, spilled a cup of coffee onto Lily,
ruining the new T-shirt. Polly was so angry that she avoided Lily all through the weekend, not feeling like
responding to Lily.
As Lily thought about all this, she couldn’t help feeling a bit sorrowful, remembering their joyful childhood
when she and her sister helped each other and explored the unknown world around them together. She sighed
and gave up trying to clean her shirt. Perhaps it was time to stop having a world war with her sister.
So, Lily changed into a clean T-shirt, set the dirty one aside, took a deep breath and knocked on her sister’s
door. “What?” A mad shout came in from the room. Lily hesitantly entered the room. “I’m not Mom.” Polly looked
confused for a second wondering why her sister was there. “Since when did you learn to knock?”
Lily ignored her sister’s comment, sat down heavily on the bed, and asked, “Do you want to conquer ( 征服)
the world?” She didn’t actually mean to conquer the world, but when they were small, they liked to challenge
themselves to climb a pretty high rock at the back of their house inside a small wood The sisters hadn’t actually
managed to do that yet, and they gave up trying after a while since it looked a bit stupid for teenagers to climb a
rock. After that, they basically forgot about the whole thing.

Passage 10
（2025·广东·三校高三下学期2 月第一次模拟考试一模）
In the year when her parents determined to go their separate ways, Alice initiated the allocation of a
considerable span of her time to the Polka Café, a venue that surfaced as the exclusive location where she could
truly immerse herself in rumination, and her mother seemed to manifest no dissent regarding her spending the
bulk of the summer there.
Antecedent to the commencement of the summer season, two momentous occurrences had materialized.
The primary occurrence, without doubt, was the egress of her father from their domestic abode, and the
secondary one was the disintegration of her amicable bond with Sarah. Alice was incapable of precisely identifying
how their relationship had degenerated to such a deplorable state. They had been involved in a vehement quarrel
at school shortly subsequent to her parents’ public announcement of their irrevocable decision to part.
On every occasion when her friends questioned the non - appearance of her father, who no longer served
as her escort to school each morning, Alice would unfailingly proffer the untruth, “My father is preoccupied with
business engagements elsewhere.” She discontinued extending invitations to them for recreational gatherings at
her residence and fabricated a plethora of pretexts to evade social interaction with any other individuals. “I am
occupied with alternative arrangements,” she would communicate to Sarah.
On a particular day, as they were proceeding homeward from school, Sarah accosted Alice in a somewhat
irritated intonation, “Alice，what is the underlying issue? Why are you refraining from engaging in dialogue with
me?” Alice simulated auditory impairment and persisted in her forward movement，entertaining no inclination to
deliberate on the matter with Sarah at that juncture, or with anyone else for that matter.
“I am speaking with utter earnestness, Alice. My mother has divulged the pertinent details to me,” Sarah
further stated. “I am cognizant of the situation unfolding with your parents.” This disclosure caused Alice to come
to an abrupt standstill. In reality, their habitation was in a compact community where confidential matters were
notoriously short – lived, yet Alice had cherished a feeble aspiration that the news would remain under wraps for
a sufficient duration to enable her to ascertain the appropriate moment to broach the subject herself. She was
overcome with feelings of mortification and emotional injury, yearning to reveal the information to Sarah in
accordance with her own volition.
Consumed by a surge of fury, Alice launched a verbal assault. “How can you have the audacity to assert that
you possess any knowledge!” she vehemently exclaimed. “You are an exceedingly despicable friend. I harbor no
desire to engage in any form of verbal exchange with you ever again!”

Passage 11
（2025 广东省佛山市三校高三1 月第一次模拟考试）
Once upon a time, in an old Italian town, lived a little girl named Piccola. She was an only child, sharing her
home with her hardworking mother, who worked as a laundress and cleaner until the late hours of the night.
Her house had a tiny garden, surrounded by a stone wall. She would sit out there and play with a ragged
doll. Through a narrow crack (裂缝) in the stone wall, Piccola’s curious gaze often wandered to a neighboring
garden filled with laughter, beautiful colors, and the joyful play of three children. Piccola watched in wonder as
they danced, sang and played with their brightly colored toys. From that day on, she secretly admired them from
afar, but was too shy to talk to them.
One fine morning, though, the youngest of the children saw Piccola’s eye peering through the crack in the
garden wall. “Hello!” he said. “Who are you?” Piccola found the courage to speak. “My name is Piccola!” she
replied, “I love to watch you play in your beautiful sunny garden!” The little boy called his big brother and sister.
They were curious about Piccola, and asked her many questions about her life.
That evening, the children told their father about the mysterious girl who lived next door, and how she was
all alone in her house some days. Could she come and play with them? Their father got his hammer and chipped a
hole in the wall big enough for Piccola to get through.
When she entered the neighbors’ garden, Piccola felt shy about her ragged old dress. She didn’t even have
proper shoes to wear, just a pair of simple wooden ones. Piccola needn’t have worried! Her neighbors welcomed
her and showed her new games to play. From that day on, they became good friends.
The day before Christmas, her neighbors began to chat about the gifts Father Christmas would bring them.
“What do you want on Christmas? Piccola,” her neighbors asked. “I hope he will bring me a new doll for Christmas,
but I have never received one before,” she felt very depressed. “He knows everything,” the neighbors comforted
her.

Passage 12
（2025·广东·高三1 月第一次模拟考试）
In yore’s times, within the confines of an antiquated Italian hamlet, there resided a diminutive damsel by
the name of Piccola. She was a solitary offspring, cohabitating with her industrious mater, who toiled as a
laundress and domestic cleaner, laboring until the nether hours of the nocturnal cycle.
Her humble abode boasted a minuscule hortus, encircled by a barrier of hewn stone. It was in this modest
enclave that she would often perch, engaging in play with a tattered effigy of a doll. Through a slender fissure in
the stone palisade, Piccola’s inquisitive optics would frequently meander towards an adjacent hortus, abuzz with
mirth, resplendent hues, and the exuberant frolic of three juveniles. With a sense of awe, Piccola observed as they
cavorted, vocalized in song, and interacted with their vibrantly hued playthings. From that juncture forth, she
clandestinely venerated them from a distance, yet was too timorous to engage in discourse with them.
However, on a particularly salubrious morning, the most tender of the trio espied Piccola’s orb peering
through the crevice in the garden’s rampart. “Salutations!” he uttered. “Pray, who art thou?” Piccola mustered the
fortitude to vocalize. “My designation is Piccola!” she responded, “I derive great pleasure from observing thee and
thy companions frolicking in thy resplendent, sun-drenched hortus!” The young stripling summoned his elder
brethren and soror. They were piqued by Piccola’s presence and inquired of her numerous queries regarding the
tapestry of her existence.
That vesper, the juveniles recounted to their pater the enigmatic lass who inhabited the neighboring
domicilium, and how she found herself bereft of company within her residence on sundry occasions. Could she be
permitted to partake in their revelries? Their pater fetched his martello and chipped away at the wall, creating an
aperture sufficiently capacious for Piccola to traverse.
Upon ingress into her neighbors’ hortus, Piccola felt a pang of bashfulness regarding her threadbare
vesture. She was not even shod in proper calceamenta, merely a pair of rudimentary wooden sandals. Piccola’s
trepidation, however, was unwarranted! Her neighbors received her with open arms and introduced her to novel
ludicra. From that day forward, they forged a bond of amicable friendship.
On the eve preceding the Yuletide celebration, her neighbors commenced to exchange conjectures about
the bounty that Father Christmas would bestow upon them. “What dost thou desire for Christmas, Piccola?” her
neighbors inquired. “I harbor a hope that he shall present me with a new doll for Christmas, yet I have never been
the recipient of one prior,” she expressed, her spirits somewhat dampened. “He is omniscient,” the neighbors
reassured her.

（2025 江西省高三下学期2 月一模联考）
Steger grew up in Bellingham, Washington, about an hour’s drive from where he was now, trapped in the
Mount Baker Ski Area. The remote place is marked by ropes and signs to warn people that they’re leaving the safe
zone. Steger and his three fellows had all the required equipment, a two-way radio and a backpack with a shovel
when they started their second skiing in the morning. On that Friday run, Steger’s friends were in front of him
when Steger, moving through the trees, ran into trouble.
The front of his board hit a small branch hidden under new snow. Steger fell into a tree well (树坑). Before
he could call for help, he was upside down in deeper snow than he’d ever been in. All he could see was blackness.
One of Steger’s arms was pinned next to his body. Luckily, his other arm had ended up next to his face, so he
managed to push the snow away from his mouth, creating a small air pocket. To prevent snow from falling in and
covering his mouth, he pulled the tip of his jacket over his face. And now all he could do was stay calm and wait to
be rescued.
He figured two or so minutes had passed. Then the two-way radio on his shoulder crackled with messages
from his friends “Where are you? Let’s know if you’re in front of us!” He replied and mentioned about his
situation. He knew that his friends were downhill from where he was stuck. His friends were surprised and
convinced him that they were on their long difficult way back up the hill to rescue him. Meanwhile, it was up to
Steger to get himself out, or he’d die.
Then he felt his snowboard, still attached to his feet, move. Francis Zuber, 28-year-old, had gone to Mount
Baker Ski Area that Friday to ski. As he sped down the slope, Zuber caught a glimpse of something red. That’s
when he saw that the upside-down snowboard in a tree well was moving.

situation. He knew that his friends were downhill from where he was stuck. His friends were surprised and
convinced him that they were on their long difficult way back up the hill to rescue him. Meanwhile, it was up to
Steger to get himself out, or he’d die.
Then he felt his snowboard, still attached to his feet, move. Francis Zuber, 28-year-old, had gone to Mount
Baker Ski Area that Friday to ski. As he sped down the slope, Zuber caught a glimpse of something red. That’s
when he saw that the upside-down snowboard in a tree well was moving.

Passage 3
（2025 江西省部分学校高三下学期2 月一模考试）
In a small town, an elderly woman named Agnes lives alone. Though in her late 60s, Agnes still tries hard to
take care of herself and run a small farm. However, she is finding herself struggling to maintain all this.
One winter morning, as frost painted the windows with delicate designs, Agnes woke up to unsettling
silence — The power was out, and so was the heating. “Another signal of struggling,” Agnes thought to herself.
Feeling cold, she wrapped herself in a thick coat and decided to go to the local cafe for a cup of coffee and some
warmth.
As she stepped out into the biting cold, Agnes felt the pain inside her bones. The streets were unusually
quiet, with only a few brave souls braving the elements. She made her way to the cafe, her breath visible in the
frosty air. Upon entering, she was greeted by the good smell of fresh coffee. She ordered her usual and found a
seat by the window.
As she drank her coffee, Agnes noticed a young man shaking outside. He seemed to be debating whether to
come in or not. The moment she saw his face, she recognized it was Charlie, who used to enjoy coffee in the cafe
and pay for her coffee before they started a pleasant conversation. “There must be something wrong with him,”
Agnes thought. She decided to buy Charlie a cup of coffee.
Holding a steaming cup of coffee, Agnes approached Charlie and offered him the cup. “Here, this might help
warm you up,” Agnes said gently.
Charlie looked at Agnes with surprise and gratitude. “Thank you,” he stammered, his hands wrapping
around the cup as if it were a lifeline. “I…I lost my job and home. I was trying to... find a job...” Agnes patted him
on the arm and said softly, “We all have struggles, but there’s always hope.”

Passage 4
（2025 广东省河源市高三毕业班下学期调研模拟测试（一））
Rudi Gonsalves could barely contain his excitement as he sped downhill. It was the first day of his holiday in
the Romanian ski resort of Poiana Brasov and he was 6,000 feet up one of its highest mountains, breathing in the
cleanest air.
Weather and snow conditions were perfect. An experienced skier, he tackled the difficult “black” run with
ease, knees gently bent to meet the uneven surface of the snow.
Rudi, a part-time youth worker from Epsom Downs, Surrey, regularly booked a winter holiday with his wife
Sue. But Sue was scared of heights and could not overcome her sense of foreboding as the skiing season
approached.
So this time Rudi, a keen sportsman and fit for his 57 years, had come alone.
As he snaked his way down the mountain on that March afternoon last year, snowflakes began to fall—
lightly at first, then more heavily until the clouds blotted out the sun entirely, transforming everything into a
ghostly whiteness.
He could just make out other skiers descending the slopes as fast as they could. I’d better stay close to them
for safety, he decided. This could be tricky.
Straining to see ahead, Rudi was only vaguely aware of a looming outline lumbering up the mountain.
“Did anyone see me fall? Where am I?”
He looked around him, trying to get his bearings, but in every direction there was only the same vast
whiteness.
Then he took out his gold watch, a treasured present from his wife. It not only told him the time, 1.54pm, it
also seemed to give him strength.
It was getting dark when Rudi finally gave up his attempt to scale the mountain and decided to head
downhill instead. He knew it would mean moving away from the best route back to his hotel, but there seemed to
be no alternative.
Despair began to dog Rudi as he faced up to the reality of spending a night in the open. It was 5.30 pm and
the temperature was dropping fast. He began to shiver, his teeth chattering uncontrollably. He felt very alone.

Passage 5
（2025·浙江宁波·一模）
The sun was setting over Springdale, casting shadows across the busy community center. A group of
teenagers, the members of the Springdale Youth Committee, gathered at a table. They looked determined and
worried. Among them was Emily, a smart but often unnoticed girl who loves helping others.
For weeks, they had been organizing a fundraising event for the local homeless shelter, as the shelter
struggled to assist the increasing number of individuals seeking help. The big day was one week away, and
everything was set — until they discovered another group had a similar charity event on the same day. This could
divide the people who might come and the donations they hoped to get.
“We can’t change the date now,” said Tom, a senior member, his voice filled with frustration. “We’ve already
sent out invitations, and the place is booked.” Emily listened quietly to the discussion. She knew changing the date
wasn’t possible, but she also realized competing with another worthy cause could hurt both sides.
After the meeting ended without a solution, Emily decided to take action. She spent the next day looking into
ways to work with the other group, hoping to find a way that would help both the homeless shelter and the other
cause.
The next day, she came to the committee with a suggestion. “What if we join our events?” she asked. “We
could share resources, work together on promoting, and most importantly, make sure both causes are supported by
the community.”
The members looked at each other, some doubtful, others interested. “That’s a great idea, Emily, but how
will we get them to agree?” Laura, another member, asked. Emily had already thought this through. “I’ll talk to
their organizer and show them the benefits of a joint event.” She knew the path ahead would be challenging, but
she was determined to make it happen for Springdale and its people.
