Passage 1
(2026·高三·浙江强基联盟·二模)
I had many adventures as a child, but one stands out on the local football pitch at Pacaembu, Brazil, the
legendary cradle of football geniuses.
I was 1 my team when our goalkeeper got injured. No one else volunteered, so I 2
reluctantly, never having tried the position before. I felt 3 in the unfamiliar spot. Soon, a striker broke
through and I dived to 4 his shot. His boot caught me right in the face in the 5 . The cut was
deep and blood was everywhere.
I had no money for a taxi and was too embarrassed to get on a bus with a 6 face. I asked a friend
for a 7 on his bicycle, but the bridge on our way was too steep for him to pedal with my 8 . I
had to walk the rest of the way, 9 my heavy kitbag. People gaped at my face in shock, but I kept moving. The long
walk home felt like a lonely march of 10 .
When I finally arrived, my grandmother treated the wound with warm turmeric. Seeing my downcast eyes, she
whispered, “The mark on your face isn’t a sign of failure, but a proof of your 11 . You stood where others
wouldn’t.” Her words 12 me faster than the medicine.
That wasn’t the only time I got hurt on those overused pitches. Injuries were frequent, but they 13
me for the struggles ahead. Over time, I realized the scar became a medal of 14 , a symbol of pride and
courage. It taught me being a sportsman meant 15 every ball life throws without fear.

Passage 2
(2026·高三·山东菏泽市·二模)
When I was a sophomore at Westbrook High School, Coach Carter took over our basketball team, which had
long been a total laughingstock. For years, we had 1 far more games than we could count; our practices
were 2 and disorganized; and the locker room was always filled with indifference and endless 3
. At 1.93 meters with a low voice and a constant frown, he 4 a frightening figure. We all expected him to
storm in, yell at us, and demand instant wins, but what he gave us was a precious lesson in character, perseverance,
and the true 5 of winning.
Instead of starting with basketball drills, his first 6 began with a loud speech: winning is about
effort, respect and self-improvement, not just 7 . He set strict rules, made us run until exhausted to build
mental 8 , and asked us to learn from our losses. We lost our first ten games, facing deafening loud
complaints and cruel insults (辱骂), and wanted to 9 , but he calmly encouraged us to keep 10 with
all our hearts.
Slowly, we 11 — showing up early for practice, 12 each other instead of blaming, and
playing with passion. Halfway through the season, we won a 13 game. Though we 14 with
8 wins and 16 losses, we became better people. Years later, I still remember his words: that season, we didn’t win
many games, but we won the game of 15 , the only victory that truly matters.

Passage 3
(2026·高三·湖南张家界市·二模)
It was a cold Saturday morning in December. I was a 17-year-old high school student, and I was on my way
to the community service center. I had to do 40 hours of community service to graduate, and I 1 it. I
thought it would be a waste of time, and I would rather stay at home and prepare for my college entrance exam.
When I arrived at the center, a woman told me that my task was to 2 old people in the nursing home
nearby. I walked into the nursing home with a bad mood. The first person I met was Mr. Li, an 82-year-old man with
white hair. He was sitting in a chair alone, looking out of the window. I said hello to him, and he 3 at me
with a warm smile.
At first, I didn’t know what to say. I just sat there quietly. Then Mr. Li started to talk about his 4 . He was a
teacher before he retired, and he had taught Chinese in a middle school for over 30 years. He told me stories about
his students, his travels around China, and his love for classical Chinese literature. I was 5 at his rich
experience, and I forgot about my bad mood.
After that, I went to the nursing home every weekend. I read books to Mr. Li, listened to his stories, and
sometimes played chess with him. I also helped other old people with small things, like writing letters, carrying water,
or just talking with them. To my 6 , I started to look forward to these visits.
One day, Mr. Li gave me a 7 of his favorite poem, To the Oak Tree, written by Shu Ting. He wrote it
down with his own hand, and his handwriting was beautiful. “You are a young girl with a bright future,” he said.
“This poem tells you to be 8 , independent and brave. I hope you can remember it.”
Two months later, I finished my 40 hours of community service. On my last day at the nursing home, Mr. Li
held my hand and said, “Thank you for 9 your time with me. You have brought so much happiness to my life.”
I felt my eyes filled with tears. I realized that I didn’t just 10 40 hours of service. I had gained something much
more 11 .
That winter, I learned that community service is not just a task to 12 . It’s about connecting with
people, listening to their stories, and giving a little warmth to those who need it. Mr. Li and the other old people didn’t
just get my company. 13 , they taught me the meaning of life, the value of patience, and the beauty of
human connection.
Now I am a college student, and I still go back to the nursing home to visit Mr. Li when I have time. That
40-hour community service 14 my life. It taught me that the most meaningful things in life are not about
what we get, but what we 15 .

Passage 4
(2026·高三·河北唐山市·二模)
When I was growing up, my favorite movie was Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. My favorite 1 is
when the Beast introduces Belle to the castle’s library. Belle’s eyes 2 as the camera moves around to show
her endless shelves of books. It feels magical, not only to her, but to me, as a viewer, filling me with 3 .
People often speak of truth, goodness, and beauty as 4 ideals-principles that direct our actions. But unlike
the magical library in the movie, beauty in real life is the easiest to 5 . Faced with emotional and financial
concerns, many families quietly abandon it, assuming it requires 6 , space, or special talent.
When I was growing up, my family did not have those unlimited 7 . Our small apartment was 8 .
One winter evening, my parents returned home carrying a bag of 9 . There was no electricity due to a
sudden power cut, and the room quickly grew 10 . Instead of showing frustration, my mother calmly lit
several candles, creating a 11 atmosphere. My father then 12 the bag and suggested we mix
flour, water, and sugar to prepare a simple dough together. Our hands moved slowly, 13 small, uneven
pieces while we laughed gently. In that humble space, surrounded by dancing light and shared effort, I felt a deep
sense of peace and 14 richness.
Since then, I have come to believe that beauty does not depend on what we 15 , but on how we
choose to see and shape our ordinary lives.

When I was six years old, my entire body went up in flames. It took me a year of being treated at a number of
hospitals to 1 . I lost all grasp of reality, and tried to 2 day by day.
3 into society as a young adult was tough. Looking 4 meant I got bullied, and I found
it hard to get a job. I was sick and tired of the world treating me like a 5 . That’s when I got the idea to
make a change. At 25, I decided to 6 my local volunteer fire academy.
Just two weeks into 7 , I was in a room filled with burning flames. I 8 and wasn’t able to
move, but when the fire had rolled less than a foot above my head, I had an epiphany (顿悟). For the first time, I

building 10 , my fire suit still smoking.
After 12 weeks of training, I was 11 to a fire and rescue station staffed by volunteers. We would be
sent to 12 , often to car fires and small brush fires. I have never felt such unexpected 13 from a team,
and to this day call my fellow firefighters my brothers and sisters. The fire department taught me about the importance
of 14 .

Passage 7
(2026·高三·江苏南京市·二模)
Five years ago, I woke up after a six-hour operation. Doctors removed a tumor ( 肿瘤) in my body, and I
couldn’t believe it when 1 that it was not cancerous. I’d spent the months before the surgery filled with 2
. I’d used all my strength just to get up and pretend to be OK. Returning home, I attempted to 3 what my
future life would be like without a dark cloud hanging over me.
The initial 4 didn’t last long. Life soon looked empty. Months before, I’d left my legal job. Actually,
becoming a writer was always my dream, but piles of 5 letters made it seem out of reach. It felt 6
to be depressed after surviving the surgery, but I was. The only thing that dragged me out was to 7 my
sister’s dog Lucy. I was still weak and never 8 exercise, but I couldn’t say no to Lucy. We started out 9
. At first, I could hardly walk a block with her, but gradually I grew much 10 and walked farther.
Little by little, I felt alive again. I 11 for a part-time job and worked for 3 years. I restarted my
writing — not a heavy book, but 12 things reminding me I could be a writer.
I now write full-time, busy 13 new books. It’s harder to find 14 to take walks with
Lucy, but those simple walks truly 15 me.

Passage 8
(2026·高三·浙江台州市·二模)
When I was in my early twenties, I had a family with young children to support. With only an English degree, I
found it hard to 1 a suitable job, feeling worried and uncertain about my future.
One day, I applied for a sales 2 at a jewelry company. As the interviewer outlined the daily 3
like selling gold and silver items, an inner voice asked me, “Am I really doing what I’m meant to do?” Knowing the
answer was “No”, I politely 4 the job, following my heart and guided by my inner sense of 5 .
In time, I returned to school to 6 an education degree and went on to become a teacher, finding 7

sessions. Yet, challenging as it was, 10 my sons brought me unexpected warmth.
I recorded my life 11 in writing and sharing my stories far and wide. Finally I came to realize these
life experiences led me to live a life that truly suited me.

(2026·高三·浙江温州市·二模)
Since young, I had needed to write as one needs to breathe, but social values convinced me that writing
wasn’t 1 . Yet chaining myself to other 2 frightened me. So I set foot on Iceland as an exchange
student, giving myself one more year to 3 what to do with my life. However, after a month of living in
Iceland, I was still unaccustomed.
One day, in class, I started writing a 4 on my notebook. Outside, Mount Tindastóll’s snowy heights
were lit in pink from the late sunrise. I became so 5 pressing its beauty into paper that I did not 6

Passage 10
(2026·高三·安徽滁州市·二模)
In today’s highly-connected world, I’m constantly online — yet I often feel deeply lonely.
Last year, my grades dropped, which led my parents to mistake me for laziness, but I actually felt 1
— as if no one truly saw me.
One day, when I was sinking into 2 again, I encountered Ms Carter, our head teacher. Sensing how sad
I was, instead of comforting me, she simply whispered, “You don’t have to be strong all the time. ” That moment
changed everything. I realized I didn’t have to 3 my pain. I started seeing the school counselor. It wasn’t
easy — I once viewed help-seeking as 4 . But slowly I learned that vulnerability (脆弱) isn’t weakness;
it’s the start of healing.
Discovering shared struggles among classmates, we formed “Real Talk”, a judgment-free group dedicated to
5 , always true to ourselves. Now, when overwhelmed, I reach out for genuine connection from my classmates.
I’m thankful Ms Carter didn’t give advice. She simply 6 me with her presence. In that quiet
kindness, I found courage to 7 my story, hoping it might help others become less lonely.
Since then, I’ve found that a simple “Are you okay?” can 8 someone’s day, bringing them warmth
and comfort. I once thought strength meant never showing any sign of weakness. But now I know real strength lies
in being honest to yourself, being brave enough to 9 your real feelings.
My healing journey continues, yet I no longer walk alone. It is filled with 10 , growing from being
truly 11 , strengths and weaknesses alike.
I used to believe I had to 12 everything by myself. Now I understand that seeking support is an act of
13 , not defeat. There’s one lesson I hope others learn: You don’t need to 14 your loneliness. Just
voice it. Someone might be waiting to hear it and lend a hand-and that small act of honesty and courage could spark
a chain of 15 .

(2026·高三·山东临沂市·二模)
My mother’s mixer is heavy. As I carry it, I wonder how her 1 body can lift it. I see my mother sitting
with her head pillowed in her arms. Severe asthma (哮喘) has hurt her over the past ten years. She sighs, 2 from
a night of coughing.
Lifting the towel, a 3 smell rises from the bowl. In an instant, memories flood back, and I 4
watching her turn eggs into white mountains for pies. One morning, after 5 chocolate chip dough (面团),
she put down the beaters (搅拌棒). I pulled at her clothes, 6 her attention. “Don’t worry,” she said. “I’ve left
some for you. Would you like to lick (舔) them clean?” Laughing at the 7 that filled my eyes, she slid out a
chair. We 8 side by side, me with my tongue curled around a dough-covered beater, she with a smile and a
wooden spoon 9 in chocolate. Such simple pleasure, such 10 happiness.
Now looking at her lined face, I wish for that long-ago day. So I find a 11 , flour and eggs, some of this
and that. Then the beaters turn, mixing waves of chocolate. Subconsciously, I see my mother staring at me with the
touch of a 12 on her face.
In the sudden silence, I see another way back. Picking up the bowl, I 13 my mother, “I’ve left some
for you. Would you like to lick them clean?” Side by side, we laugh loudly, both with 14 fingers covered in
chocolate. It is a bowl of 15 that I greedily share once again with my mother.

Passage 13
(2026·高三·湖北黄石市·二模)
Sumi is a single mother, and her daughter Anna is always nicknamed “Number 23” — she consistently 1
23rd out of 50 students in exams. Every time Sumi hears that nickname, it makes her concerned.
At a gathering, kids shared 2 , ambitious dreams — doctors, politicians, and more — and the adults
clapped and praised them. Anna kept busy helping quietly: 3 soup, passing cookies, lost in her own little
world. When 4 again, she smiled softly: “I want to be a teacher.” The room fell instantly quiet.
Sumi had done everything to boost Anna’s 5 — hiring tutors and packing “brain food” daily. Anna
tried hard, but the 6 took its toll: loss of appetite, sleepless nights, constant sweat, and eventual illness. Upset,
Sumi stopped pushing her, and Anna slowly bounced back to her 7 old self.
Weeks later, on a family trip, two top students — a straight-A star and a math Olympiad kid — fought over a
piece of dessert. No one could calm them until Anna 8 : “Let’s flip a coin.” That ended the conflict. Stuck in
traffic later, she 9 everyone with jokes and turned candy boxes into paper animals, gifting one to each kid.
The other parents beamed with 10 .
Soon after, Anna’s teacher called: her grades didn’t change much, but a bonus question — “Who’s your favorite
classmate?” — 11 almost everyone chose Anna, praising her 12 , helpfulness, and inclusiveness.
Some suggested making her class leader. Sumi cried, happy and 13 , calling Anna a “real-life 14
.” She grinned: “Mom, I’m not a hero. I want to be the one clapping, not the one clapped for.”
That simple answer changed Sumi — she finally understood Anna’s kind soul 15 far more than
being “Number 23”.

Despite my successful career, performance anxiety has been my constant companion. It first struck during an

I made a sudden decision. I admitted my fear to the students. Immediately, their eyes filled with 10 instead of
judgment.
For the next ten minutes, I shared my story, explaining that everyone has weaknesses that may never be fully
11 . I told them that no one is perfect, but 12 ourselves can make us better. The two-hour session
ended with unexpected warmth. Later, a friend mentioned how 13 the students were to try the methods I
shared. I explained that the success lay in my 14 interaction. Sometimes, what truly touches hearts is not

Passage 16
(2026·高三·广东汕头市·二模)
As a shy girl, I had always thought I was weak at sports — something that caused self-doubt and I avoided.
But growing up and wanting to step out of comfort zone, I signed up for a spinning (动感单车) class, which completely
changed my 1 .
I vividly remember those first few classes. Breathless with my face 2 , my legs trembled 3
as I struggled to keep pace. By contrast, others pedaled with seemingly 4 grace. Looking at my messy
reflection in the mirror, I was completely out of 5 , feeling like a round peg (木栓) in a square hole. The
urge to 6 struck repeatedly.
Fortunately, the instructor 7 me and corrected my posture, cheering me on all the way. Gradually, I got the
hang of it. I 8 on my breath and the rhythm of movement, letting each pedal 9 my inner
insecurity in sports. Though still far from skilled, I persisted and the weekly class gradually became a place for
stress 10 .
One day after class, a stylish girl 11 me and said, “You know, I actually struggle to keep up every
time but I was inspired seeing you push through.” Her words took me by surprise. While I had been 12 my
awkward reality in the gym with her polished look, she’d been drawing 13 from my persistence.
What began as a step out of comfort zone has not just 14 my view on sports but become my source of
confidence. Maybe everyone is fighting their own unseen battle, and true victory lies in being 15 to start
and keep going.

This happened a few years ago. I was on the highway, 1 an important meeting with a client. I was
driving my dad’s old sports car. It had never given me trouble, but that day, the engine died, leaving me 2 in
a sea of fast-moving vehicles.
Worse still, local drivers were driving fast and showing little 3 for others’ safety. Surrounded by
such impatient drivers, I turned on my hazard lights and called my father in great panic, 4 I’d miss the
meeting or get hit by speeding cars. My father promised to come to my 5 , but was still 30 minutes away. I
could do nothing but only 6 nervously and pray.
While on the phone, a huge truck drove up. I worried the driver had 7 my warning lights. To my
great 8 , he pulled up directly behind my car and blocked the lane entirely with his truck. He jumped out
and 9 straight to my car, knocking at the window to check on me. I opened the door and explained my
terrible 10 . The kind man comforted me, instructed me to put my car into neutral and proceeded to push
my car to the safe roadside all by himself.
I was on the verge of tears at this point, thanking him 11 . He gave me a reassuring smile and hurried
back to 12 the traffic. Then he left quietly, asking for nothing in 13 . My father made it to me at
last, and drove me to my meeting and I was still able to meet with my client and 14 the deal!

Passage 6
(2026·高三·浙江金丽衢十二校·二模)
The old saw about the evil stepparent certainly didn’t apply to Roger McElroy. He made a point of being a
1 presence in the life of his stepdaughter, Brooke Johnson.
At times when life threw screwballs at Johnson, McElroy was there to pick her up. During one 2
time, he left her a voicemail that said, “Everything’s gonna be fine. We’ll 3 it.”
In 2024, McElroy 4 a fall that left him a quadriplegic. Three and a half weeks later, he died of those
injuries. But before that, while being by his bedside, Johnson 5 with McElroy her dream of becoming the 6
woman to skateboard across the country. He wanted to be part of it, and they planned that she would 7 him in hi
wheelchair across the finish line.
She wasn’t sure she could pull it off, but McElroy had 8 in her.
“I was like, ‘Roger, it’s a big country’. And he was like, ‘Well, you can do it’,” Johnson told Good Morning
America.
After McElroy’s 1 Johnson, then 29, chose to 2 him by becoming the first woman to
skateboard across the country. Along the way, she would raise money for Wings for Life, a non-profit that supports
research into spinal cord injuries.
3 by a video crew, and wearing a locket around her neck that held McElroy’s ashes, she began her
journey last April at California’s Santa Monica beach. 4 : Virginia Beach, 3,266 miles away.
Averaging 30 to 50 miles a day, Johnson’s 5 across America took her up and down mountains, past
wheat fields and through cities, in rain and blistering heat. Through it all, Roger McElroy was riding with her:
Everything’s gonna be fine. We’ll get through it.
On Aug.15, after 119 days, Johnson arrived at the Atlantic Ocean. No one was more 6 than Johnson
that she had completed what she’d started, while raising $50,000 for Wings for Life.
She told ABC News, “Roger left me 7 , and for that I thank him every day.”

Passage 7
(2026·高三·安徽江南十校·二模)
68-year-old Ana had been living alone in her small apartment. She rarely spoke to anyone, and her loneliness
seemed to be a wall that no one could 1
One day, a volunteer named Sarah arrived with a golden retriever (寻回犬) named Buddy, a therapy dog. Ana
didn’t even look up when they entered. Quietly, Buddy lay down on the floor. “This is Buddy,” Sarah said softly. “He
comes to visit every week.” Ana didn’t 2
For the first few visits, nothing changed. Ana remained 3 . However, each time, Buddy would lie
quietly near her chair, occasionally looking up at her with his gentle brown eyes. On the fourth visit, something 4
happened. As Buddy lay beside her, Ana slowly lowered her hand and let it rest on his back. Her fingers moved
slightly, 5 his soft fur. Sarah held her breath, not wanting to 6 the moment.
“He’s warm!” Ana whispered. From that day on, things changed. She started 7 Buddy’s visits. She began
to talk — first about Buddy, then 8 about her life.
The 9 was obvious. Ana was eating more, sleeping better, and even 10 a smile now and then.
She also joined group activities she had 11 refused to do.
Actually, therapy dogs can greatly reduce loneliness by 12 stress levels and increasing social
interaction. The simple presence of a non-judgmental animal can be deeply 13 .
On Sarah’s last visit, Ana hugged Buddy and whispered into his ear. “You 14 me!”

When my three-year-old daughter Heidi was playing in the backyard, she sat on the lid (盖子) of a large glass

Passage 9
(2026·高三·江西上饶市·二模)
After my husband died, life became an endless struggle. As a single parent with two young boys, I was
drowning in 1 , with no energy for daily chores, let alone 2 Christmas. No cheerful 3
in the house, no decorations on the wall. Some mornings, after dragging myself to drop the boys at school, I just
wanted to 4 bed and shut out the world. Even 5 tasks like helping the boys finish homework
felt like 6 victories.
One mid-December evening, the doorbell suddenly rang. I hurried to open, only to find a box of Christmas
cookies on the doormat, with a small 7 attached, “On the First Day of Christmas ...” We exchanged a look,
too surprised to speak. In the following nights, more gifts 8 one after another: (canes, delicate ornaments... all
carrying the familiar note.
Curiosity drove us to catch the mysterious 9 . I turned on the porch light and turned off the living
room lights, 10 in the shadow. My boys knelt quietly by the door, eyes wide open, holding their breath.
But the gifts always arrived when we were away or slightly 11 . Later, I gave up the 12 , even
treating the boys with cookies to stay in the kitchen, determined to 13 this warm mystery.
Fifteen years on, I still don’t know who the giver is. The mystery has become a warm 14 , teaching
me to bravely live with unknowns and always 15 hope in the dark.

Passage 1
(2026·高三·江苏苏北七市·二模)
I have always been indecisive when it came to travel. I’d watch endless videos of destinations and read scores of
1
online. But more often than not, 2 fell far short of what was promised. The colourful images I’d come
across online would turn out to be totally disappointing in real life.
So, a year ago, I made a change. I banned myself from too much 3 for a trip. Instead, I chose an
area I wanted to 4 . I couldn’t rely on my phone. It wasn’t easy at first. I felt rudderless (漫无目的的)
without my phone to guide me while wandering through 5 neighbourhoods. I was so accustomed to 6
every detail about each place I visited and without that, I was exposed.
But that’s exactly why it’s so fun. Going in unprepared opens you up to 7 . Without being glued to
directions on my phone, I was 8 so much more of my surroundings, noticing details that would otherwise have
9 passed me by.
Travelling without planning has made me more 10 with making decisions. I no longer 11
if the view isn’t as breathtaking as in the photos — because I’m not comparing my 12 to anyone else’s.
Trying to have the 13 holiday is no longer the point for me; it’s about living in the present and
making good 14 . And in an era where we can see the best of everything through our phones, it’s been
totally 15 to have an experience that’s entirely mine.

Passage 2
(2026·高三·广东揭阳市·二模)
On a solo trip to Mexico City several years ago, I found a perfect souvenir at a local market: a clay statue of a
woman with long, flowing hair. Back home, I couldn’t wait to 1 the piece on my shelf. I carefully
unwrapped her, only to discover a(n) 2 surprise. During the long 3 , her beautiful hair had
completely broken off, leaving her head in two pieces. I was extremely sad.
Searching online for 4 methods, I discovered Juci (锔瓷), a traditional Chinese craft that repairs
broken clay with metal staples and gold powder. Rather than 5 cracks, it highlights them. The broken parts
become shining signs.
That philosophy 6 me deeply. I realized I didn’t need to hide the damage; I needed to 7
the repair. Driven by this new passion, I decided to take my broken statue to Jingdezhen. There, I mended broken
bowls under the 8 of a local master.
The process was slow and required great 9 . I learned how to re-create something 10 from
what I might otherwise have thrown away. The old saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” really 11
for me that day. I wasn’t just repairing a statue; I was learning to embrace my own 12 .
It turns out I’m not 13 . Now, there is even a name for such trips: “skillcations” — travels where you
learn a new skill. These journeys have 14 how I see the world. I no longer travel just to see sights; I
travel to 15 .

Passage 3
(2026·高三·河北保定市·二模)
I grew up watching my mom criticize herself. She often said things like “I’m so fat” or “I look disgusting.”
But she was actually beautiful — petite (娇小的), with shining eyes and a warm smile. She just couldn’t 1
her own beauty.
She grew up in a society that judged appearance severely. Though she never spoke ill of others, the criticism
she received 2 her view of herself. She became her own harshest (苛刻的) critic, and I 3 learned to
do the same. As a teenager, I began to tear myself down too. No matter how hard I tried to 4 myself, it
was never enough. This cycle continued into my thirties, believing that if I changed enough, I would feel 5
.
Then everything changed when I became a mother. My daughter’s arrival 6 me like a thunderclap: I
couldn’t keep hating myself. I had watched my mom speak poorly of herself for years, and I was 7 doing the
same. I didn’t want my daughter to think self-criticism is 8 .
I stopped making negative 9 about my looks. When my daughter 10 my words, I realized
how much impact I could have on her. At first, it was 11 to break the old habit. But I focused on my heart and
actions instead of my appearance.
I don’t want my daughter to think her 12 depends on her looks. I want her to feel secure in her
own 13 . I’m on the road to 14 , learning to love myself. Every day is a small step, and that is
worth every 15 .

Passage 4
(2026·高三·安徽蚌埠市·二模)
It was 10 p.m. on a winter night in Boston. I sat in the sofa, staring at a 1 Word document. My paper
proposal deadline drew near. I hadn’t written a word despite weeks of thinking. Earlier that evening, when I met
another Ph.D．student, Sachin, he was equally 2 — buried under the weight of a fellowship application.
So, we made an 3 : After dinner, we would sit together, laptops open, phones away. It was the push I
needed to finally start writing.
I always 4 writing tasks, waiting for the perfect moment for thoughts to flow. But that moment
never really arrives, and I end up with a 5 written piece only when the deadline becomes dangerously
close.
Sachin and I both grew up in India, where competition is fierce and pursuing 6 is prized. We
carried a perfectionist mindset into graduate school, and new pressures made us want faultless first drafts, but the
result was a 7 .
Having someone beside me 8 everything. It was a means to ensure 9 . Our informal
agreement soon became a 10 . We scheduled weekly 90-minute sessions for focused writing, setting a small
goal each time — it made the sessions surprisingly 11 .

Passage 5
(2026·高三·安徽淮北市·二模)
With the rapid motion of the high-speed train, I recalled a rhyme from my childhood, “Train is going, train is
going, where is your 1 ?” My inner voice 2 : a Chinese city I had only seen on maps, a new place
waiting to be 3 .
Arriving at the railway station, I found myself surrounded by busy travelers and the sound of 4
echoing in Mandarin (普通话), a language that still feels like a 5 to me. My first little 6 began before
I even reached my hotel. I had booked a ride through Didi, but finding the right pick-up spot 7 to be
confusing. After a few calls and some polite apologies in my 8 Chinese, two policemen helped me find
the way out. Their friendly smiles and a few English words 9 my worry. Outside, they helped me 10
my driver — a kind lady who greeted me 11 , understanding my confusion with patience and grace.
Looking back, one of my most cherished (怀念的) memories was visiting a park, where I was 12
to the erhu, a two-stringed traditional instrument that seems to sing straight to the heart. The erhu may look simple,
but its sound 13 deep emotion. I even tried to play it myself; my attempt was far from perfect, but even
that trembling (颤抖的) 14 felt magical.
For a foreigner like me, the city is a place where the music of the erhu flows alongside the 15 of
modern life. It teaches me how to look backward and forward at once, to honor the past while embracing the future.

Passage 6
(2026·高三·福建三明市·二模)
I have always felt a deep pull to travel alone. That 1 continued for several years, but, as often
happens, life got in the way. Family, work, responsibilities — they 2 the voice until it became just a
whisper.
Then, I turned 60, and the voice grew 3 . So I made up my mind to 4 , and plan a once-
in-a-lifetime six-week solo trip along Australia’s western coast.
Dreaming is easy, but taking the first real step is the hardest part. The real test came as I 5 with my finger
hanging over the button to book my flights and accommodation. 6 , part of me hoped the payment might
fail, giving me time to 7 . But, in the moment, I recognised that this combination of excitement and 8 is
something many people experience, especially as they get older, and it’s 9 .
As the payment went through, and my booking was accepted, I knew deep down that 10 uncertainty, at
any age, has the potential to open the door to growth, confidence, and joy. It’s not easy, but it gets more 11
with every step.
What made it slightly easier for me to answer the call to 12 was the encouragement from my family.
Some 13 when they heard the news, while others were surprised. My husband, always my 14 ,
hugged me and said, “You’ll regret it if you don’t go.”
As I write this from the airport, about to board the flight to Australia, I know that fortune always favours the

In Bangkok, we took a day 3 to the Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand, and it 4 my

Passage 8
(2026·高三·江西新余市·二模)
Luke, a blind Australian shepherd, came to us seven years ago after we rescued him from a farm. Though
1 , he moves with inspiring fearlessness.
He compensates with 2 senses — his smell and hearing, astonishingly 3 , allow him to
notice things. But he also seems to understand that he’s going to run into things and be confused at times. That does
not 4 him in the slightest.
With the classic Australian shepherd coat, his filmy aging eyes still sparkle with life. At home, he navigates 5
, only bumping into things when excited. We 6 by keeping the house tidy and avoiding unnecessary
rearrangements.
Luke 7 happiness, often “smiling” and sensing when others are down. His presence alone has a
calming effect, turning even the gloomiest days a little brighter. Even on days when we are busy, he never fails to
8 each of us, making sure no one feels left out of his warm, loving circle.
He is 9 of loud noises — the Fourth of July is his least favourite holiday because of all the fireworks.
Yet he’s taught us 10 and acceptance, when world news makes compassion difficult — Luke always
cares, 11 us we can too.
New acquaintances often 12 his blindness, but we know his life is full and joyful — he brings
daily 13 to everyone around him. Different but capable, he teaches us imperfection is 14 : life
means bumping into obstacles, but giving up isn’t a(n) 15 — Luke never does.

Passage 9
(2026·高三·江西九江市·二模)
I climbed a small ladder to wipe the stained kitchen fans, my skin hurting from strong cleaners. I had a sudden
realization: I couldn’t spend life on 1 jobs. Each time I was exhausted, my thoughts always 2
childhood days by rivers, where my brother and I learned to figure out trout’s (鳟鱼) silent movements — a fascination
deeper than a mere 3 .
Born into a working-class family and 4 school without a diploma, I once thought a science career
was a distant 5 . For years, I worked tirelessly at 6 floors and cleaning kitchens, proud of honest
labor yet longing for more. At 24, I resolved to 7 : I enrolled in adult education, then gained admission to
a university biology program.
The first term was extremely 8 — I failed several courses — but the resilience (韧性) 9
by years of physical labor kept me going. As my 10 improved gradually, a breakthrough came: my
supervisor handed me a trout research paper and invited me to join the team. 11 with joy, I realized I was getting
paid to explore my lifelong passion, turning from a 12 into an ambitious scientist.
Today, I’m pursuing a PhD on how climate change 13 Arctic trout, hiking to remote glacial lakes.
Incidentally, my brother 14 my fieldwork, so we could work by the water again. Life has come full

Passage 10

At seventeen, Marcus was the “invisible kid” in school. Struggling with a severe stutter (口吃), he had spent
years staying 1 during class discussions. He felt like a(n) 2 within his own world, convinced
he had nothing to offer the world. His life took an unexpected turn in March 2026 when his grandmother, Rose, a
retired chef, broke her arm and asked him to 3 her in the kitchen.
Initially, Marcus was a(n) 4 . He was clumsy and nervous, accidentally burning the garlic and over-
salting the stews. Every mistake felt like a confirmation of his own 5 . However, Rose was a 6
teacher. “Cooking isn’t just about perfectly following a dry 7 ,” she told him gently. “It’s about the rhythm of
the knife and the way the spices talk to each other. 8 the food.”
Slowly, Marcus discovered that when he focused on the precise art of dicing vegetables, his internal anxiety

became his 10 . By early May, Marcus prepared a complex Sunday roast for his entire family. As they ate
in 11 silence, his father whispered, “This is extraordinary, Marcus.”
For the first time, Marcus didn’t look away in 12 . He realized that confidence didn’t always have to
come from 13 words. Shortly after that, he started a social media channel called The Silent Chef. Marcus still

Passage 11

Emily’s world collapsed overnight. In 2011, she was suddenly paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the neck down with

Doctors could offer no 2 and the damage was severe, 3 Emily the use of her hands and
restricting her to a wheelchair. Overcome with 4 , she was on the edge of a breakdown, shutting herself off.
However, Emily learned to live with her fate and found a channel to 5 her inner world. By watching live
sessions, she taught herself to paint using only her 6 , biting the brush tightly to create art.
Though paper served as a fine 7 for painting, her sister Oliver hoped to encourage her creativity and
turned to 8 . She took great trouble to 9 diverse pebbles (鹅卵石) and seashells. They offered a far
more 10 and personal surface than paper, which set Emily’s 11 free. She became absorbed in
her creation, transforming common 12 into delicate artworks.
Oliver posted Emily’s works online. The beautiful creations, 13 with their touching backstory,
stimulated an outpouring positive feedback. Oliver named their online profile “Wheely Good Treasures,” which is a
clever 14 on words — “wheely” because Emily uses a wheelchair, while it also sounds like “really”.
Despite her depressing situation, Emily found strength in her sister’s love and her own 15 . She
turned art into hope and light, inspiring others with courage.

The summer I turned 16, I decided to become a guitarist. I found online lessons, and 1 .

week three, the guitar sat in the corner, gathering 6 . Every time I looked at it, I felt a wave of 7
. But picking it up again felt even worse.
Dad found me staring at it one afternoon. “You quit?” he asked. I 8 . “I’m just not cut out for it.” He
sat down. “I once learned the piano for only two weeks. But I learned failing at something doesn’t mean you 9
your time. It just means you find out it isn’t your thing. That’s 10 too.” I didn’t pick the guitar back up.
But I kept 11 about what he said. We hear so much about never quitting. But there’s something to trying
something. It’s that you 12 it a real shot, and walk away when it doesn’t fit. The next year, I joined the
photography club. It 13 I had a good eye for light and composition. And I 14 found my way
there by failing at guitar.

(2026·高三·湖北襄阳市·二模)
When I was 11 years old, I expressed an interest in playwriting. My father immediately 1 — booking
theatre tickets, driving me to Parramatta Library to borrow relevant books and gifting me a portable typewriter. His
2 nature was further demonstrated when my teenage sister showed 3 about genetics; we soon found
ourselves 4 a public lecture on the subject.
My dad’s 5 was “always follow your curious nose” and along the way, he 6 joined us
down every rabbit hole, diving into his own research on theatre or genetics or whatever had 7 us kids.
As an adult, I’ve continued this 8 family tradition. I’ve encouraged my own kids not to 9
any flicker (闪现) of curiosity. One of the hidden 10 of being a parent is the shared discovery along with
your children. For example, I 11 more about blues harmonica music and Russian history than I ever
thought I would. Now I have the same chance with my grandkids, and it’s glorious.
It’s true that childhood 12 generally doesn’t develop into one’s profession. What matters, though,
is whether the habit of curiosity itself 13 during adulthood. From my own experience, I’ve found that a
curious outlook is something that makes life truly 14 and rich with possibilities.

curious noses”.

On warm summer days, I would bring my notecards to Dundonald Park. It was there that I first 1
tai chi.
I had some 2 starts. After learning the first eight steps in a windowless basement, I took a break
and never returned. The second 3 months later, was relatively 4 . I found a class in a much
brighter space.
I had thought that I would master the 108 movements. 5 right, but wrong in reality. Rather, I quickly
knew, what was required was to change my own 6 .
After six months, I still found it difficult to complete even the opening 13 moves. The 7 needed for
such slow progress was NOT the way I normally approached physical activity. I found it almost 8 .
Previously, any sport that I couldn't do easily, I just rejected.
I also needed 9 the excuses, my favorite strategy for avoidance. Declaring that I can't tell left from
right naturally wouldn't 10 .
Oh, one more thing: I needed to listen. This 11 came powerfully in my first master class where I was
12 . As is required, all the others in the class stopped and turned to 13 me while the instructor
corrected my positioning. On it went probably for only a few minutes, but it seemed like 14 . However, as
I corrected, my emotion shifted from humiliation (耻辱) to 15 . I realized I was learning not just a new step
but a new way of being in the world — truly listening, open to correction, deeply grateful.

The next day, she 5 we head out for groceries together with her other friends. I agreed. That evening was

Then one day Michelle told me she was 7 . I went to her home and found it 8 with cardboard

disappear, 9 washing over me.
Days later, while outside with my boys I saw a young mother with two boys walking by. Thinking of Michelle’s

Passage 16

A few years ago, my friend kicked off a dinner time gratitude practice. Everyone at the table would take turns to
1 one thing they were grateful for that day. She had pre-teens who 2 the idea at first. However, she
chose to stick to the 3 week after week and it 4 caught on.
On hearing her practice, I thought this was a great idea but I wasn’t sure how it would 5 with my
little kids. Actually, it was 6 initially, which was similar to my friend’s experience. Worse still, my youngest
didn’t quite understand the 7 . When she finally understood, she just expressed gratitude for 8 things
like bubble gum (泡泡糖). My son was unwilling, too. He often said one or two things in order to finish the 9
as quickly as possible.
Luckily, things get better now. My kids often 10 to speak. They take their sweet time, 11
all the things in the day they are grateful for. Gradually, it has become a 12 into their lives, through
which we can hear about things happening at school. We know which family 13 stick with them.
I’ve learned that my kids 14 a lot more than I think, that they do 15 the little and big
things that we do for them, and that they have way more to teach me than I have to teach them.

Passage 17
(2026·高三·广东清远市·二模)
Last summer, I sent my friend Fred a letter. He wrote back with a long page that began with, “What I really 1
is your handwritten note.”
2 , I hadn’t given my love for letter writing much thought, but as I read his letter, I realized that letter
writing is something 3 . The act of letter writing is more laborious and intentional than any other form of 4
today. In a letter, there is more 5 involved and less hurry. Unlike shooting a text or typing an e-mail, letter
writing 6 me to reach for my favorite pen, 7 nice paper, write with care, fill an envelope, dig
through my desk drawer for a stamp, and take a trip to the 8 .
For as long as I can 9 — since I was eight years old — I’ve been writing letters. My first pen pal
(笔友) was Abuela, my great-grandmother in Puerto Rico. Since Abuela didn’t 10 any English, I made
my letter-writing attempts with an English-to-Spanish dictionary. Then I’d 11 await her reply.
As I grew older, I began sending letters to my friends. I still have a box containing scores of letters we 12
.
Today, I write letters whenever 13 strikes. Each letter is a small piece of my heart. It tells the person
on the other end: You matter. This moment we share is 14 . In a world that prizes speed and efficiency,
letter writing reminds me that what matters most 15 time, intention, and the quiet dignity of being made
by hand.

Passage 1
(2026·高三·河北邢台市·二模)
In a city divided by prejudice, various types of people each go about their own business. Yet a small community
kitchen became an unexpected 1 of hope. Amara, a 22-year-old volunteer, first joined after noticing
homeless migrants being 2 from local cafes.
The kitchen’s founder, Mr. Hale, believed that shared meals could 3 walls between people — no
matter their background. At first, Amara faced 4 : some regulars refused to sit next to strangers, and online
comments accused the kitchen of “encouraging inequality.” But she refused to 5 . Every morning, she
arrived early to prepare fresh bread and stew, greeting everyone with a warm smile. 6 , attitudes changed.
A former soldier who once avoided migrants began helping serve food; a teenager taught a refugee girl how to use a
smartphone. To everyone’s 7 , several protesters stayed to help clean up.
By the end of the year, the kitchen had become a 8 for over 200 people weekly. Amara learned
that 9 isn’t about grand gestures, but small acts of kindness that 10 distrust. The experience
also 11 her career choice — she now studies social work, hoping to build more bridges in divided
communities. Looking back, she realizes that hope isn’t something you wait for; it’s something you 12 through
action. Even in the 13 times, a little compassion can defeat hatred (仇恨) and bring people together. As
Mr. Hale often says, “We don’t need to agree on everything, but we must 14 each other’s right to dignity.”
That simple truth has become Amara’s guiding 15 .

Passage 2
(2026·高三·浙江绍兴市·二模)
I have an unusual hobby: I find “lost” memories in secondhand shops and reunite them with their owners. For
me, nothing is more satisfying than 1 these hidden gems. After all, one person’s trash is another person’s
2 .
My 3 began two years ago when I 4 a collection of dusty, old photos. I looked to see if
there were any names on the backs. I thought: if these were mine, I’d want someone to 5 them to me. So
I made it my 6 to do so for others. Up to now, I have collected over 50,000 items like photographs, albums,
and even undeveloped films.
To find the owners, I set up a social media account. The first item I 7 was a tape of a family holiday,
where the son was wearing a T-shirt with the words “Wesleyan swimming” on it.
My followers 8 athletic departments in universities across the US and asked swimming coaches
from the 90s if they recognized the student. 9 , just a few days later, someone 10 him. To
confirm he was just the person in the photo, we 11 him down on social media. He couldn’t believe it and
was extremely 12 to be reunited with the tape. He then recreated some of the movies with his own sons.
This journey of mending memory’s gaps is far more 13 than I could have imagined. Here, what
was once lost is gently restored to its rightful place, and 14 blooms as stories reunite with the 15
that once held them close.

Passage 5
(2026·高三·浙江金华市·二模)
Something magical is happening this summer: a group of high school students from the Golden Connections
Club gather at Olive Community Services and learn some new skills — not from videos, but from real grandmas.
The concept is quite simple: seniors teach kids 1 skills that once filled every household: sewing,
ironing, cooking, and more.
For Leena Albinali, a high school student and the club’s founder, this isn’t just an activity. It’s a 2
to bridge the gap between generations, while giving her peers (同龄人) a chance to 3 with elders, twice a week,
in a(n) 4 way.
“There is so much wisdom that lives in our 5 ,” she says. “So when I 6 many teens had
never learned how to sew on a button or iron a shirt, I saw a (n) 7 : what if seniors could teach them? And
so I recruited (招募) some peers to 8 the new group.”
Every week involves both a craft and 9 session. One day, kids practice stitching (针脚). Another
day, they learn how to make apple pies. There is laughter and burnt cookies, 10 buttons, spilled flour...,
but it’s not about 11 . It’s about connection — where generations meet to share the 12 of creating
something with their hands.
This activity is part of Olive Community Services’ ongoing 13 to reduce senior loneliness. And
now they’re also 14 youth. As one camper said, “Together, we’re not just 15 traditions — we’re
creating new ones.”

Passage 6
(2026·高三·浙江嘉兴市·二模)
It was 1974. My friends and I decided to backpack around Tasmania in winter — go figure. We were all in our
late teens, without a clear 1 .
We got on a train owned by a mining company and travelled through Tasmania’s wild west coast to Queenstown.
It was all forest and mountains. So 2 was the weather that we were all 3 to sit in our sleeping
bags trying to warm up.
Queenstown’s economy 4 the copper mine at the time. I remember the 5 of travelling
through hours of forest and then arriving at a place where the hills were left 6 by pollution. The depressing
mood wasn’t 7 by the bitter cold and constant rain.
Our idea was to hitchhike (搭车旅行) from Queenstown to our next destination, and we walked along a road
waiting 8 for a ride. For a couple of hours, there were hardly any cars passing.
Our youthful enthusiasm was 9 when a young boy came out of a neat cottage carrying a basket,
explaining that he thought we might 10 something to eat. Inside was a Thermos of tea, along with some
cake and biscuits — 11 offerings that brought unexpected 12 on that freezing day.
We were 13 that someone had taken the 14 to notice the three untidy teens hanging
around and offer help. The rain stopped and we got our ride, with the memory of that brief but meaningful 15
remaining vivid.

Passage 7
(2026·高三·安徽芜湖市·二模)
In 1997, 10-year-old Ben Lyons, a 5th grader from Oak Ridge School in Massachusetts, sent a message in a
bottle into the sea for a 1 project on ocean currents. In his note, Ben 2 questions for anyone
who found the bottle, such as where they discovered it and what its 3 were. He also wrote, “Please 4 the
questionnaire and send it back to me. Thank you. Ben Lyons from Oak Ridge School in Sandwich, Massachusetts.”
Over the 5 of decades, the bottle traveled 3,300 miles across the Atlantic. Now in his 30s, Ben
finally got a reply from a retired fisherman. Instead of sending another 6 , the fisherman chose a safer and
faster 7 — a mailed letter. He 8 it to Ben’s school, leaving the school secretaries 9 when
they tried to find the mysterious student. At last, they opened the letter and learned Ben no longer studied there.
In the 10 , the fisherman explained he found the bottle on a French beach. The bottle was tightly
11 with wax, so he struggled a lot to open it.
With the assistance of the secretaries, Ben received the letter. He said it was 12 that students could learn
about oceans and currents from this special experience. “What a lovely way to 13 with someone across
the world.”
Message in a bottle stands for hope, mystery and people’s desire for connection. Casting a bottle into the sea
shows great 14 . Some beautiful surprises are worth waiting for, even without a fixed 15 , no
matter how long the journey is, and no matter what time it is.

Education at university and worked as a 5 for many times, so she gained valuable insights into
challenges 6 by people with disabilities in their daily life. Cui found they 7 go out, let alone
travel — they’re afraid of causing trouble to others. To encourage those people to travel and protect
their self-respect, Cui 8 an activity — “One Story for One Night’s Stay”. So far, the guesthouse
has 9 twenty-one travelers with disabilities from various parts of China.
Each guest’s story is 10 and inspiring. For example, a man, after being disabled in an accident,

since he was afraid. Misty seemed to sense his anxiety and gradually eased his fear with her unhurried grace.
Decades later, it was Vincent that gently 10 her head and whispered comforting words while the
team waited for a veterinarian (兽医) to arrive with calming medication. With patience, care, and steady 11
, the TLAER team moved Misty to safer and higher ground. Food and water provided, she was able to stand on her
own soon. Vincent 12 at her side all the time.
Misty’s 13 are reported to be good, and she’s likely to recover well. Beyond the medical facts, the
rescue highlighted something bigger: the connection between humans and animals, the 14 that shape us,
and the ways firefighters 15 their communities beyond traditional emergencies.

Passage 12
(2026·高三·山东淄博市·二模)
On a cold Budapest afternoon,64-year-old Györgyi Petik Kis eagerly hurries to the library. She isn’t there to
read, but to 1 Netrevalók — monthly lectures where seniors learn digital skills from teenagers.
Kis, who spent four years in a state of unconsciousness, 2 needs mental stimulation. However, without
English skills, she lacks 3 to navigate internet on her own. “I was afraid to click on things. What if I 4
?” Through the program, she has learned to use Microsoft Translate — a “new tool” helping her feel less 5 .
The program 6 a growing digital divide. While 97% of Hungarians aged 15-50 use the internet, 90%
of those over 80 do not go online. Many seniors 7 with basic tasks. As the library director points out, “For
the elderly, going digital actually 8 them out.” The benefits extend both ways. Teen volunteers gain patience and

into a pre-digital world. “Talking to them is like going back in time,” says 19-year-old Sagie Fruchter. The 10
inspires him to design more 11 technology.
For participants like Kis, the lectures 12 more than skills. They not only learn to navigate the digital
world but also build meaningful 13 with younger generations. This simple yet powerful bridge across the
technological divide 14 as a reminder that genuine connection depends on patience, understanding, and a
mutual 15 to learn from one another — using the skills that truly matter to bring their worlds together.

Passage 13
(2026·高三·湖北黄冈市·二模)
If I had to name one thing that unbelievably made me closer to my community, reduce my waste, lower my
household spending and get cool stuff, it’s Buy Nothing.
One day, I was walking with my friend Melissa in Brooklyn Heights, and she said she was excited to 1
a snack box of Japanese snacks that she had “won”. I asked 2 , “How did you 3 it?” “From my
Buy Nothing,” she said casually. I had no idea what that was.
But a few days later, I was 4 into my neighborhood’s Buy Nothing Group (BNG), for Fort Greene,
Brooklyn. There are so many people per square mile that each 5 has its own BNG. I hadn’t used Buy
Nothing much since being “accepted” into the 6 , but one afternoon, my husband Dan wanted to go for a
run and needed a 7 rain jacket. He planned to go to REI, but I wondered, “What if I 8 on Buy
Nothing?” I opened the app, and like the universe was listening, someone had just posted a photo for a New Balance
Men’s size M hyper-light rain jacket. Though there weren’t too many 9 yet, I wrote, “My husband is 10
for one at this very moment, and he can run over and pick it up ASAP!” I waited a few 11 moments for
not knowing to get it or nor, and then received a reply that we had been 12 . Thrilled, Dan 13 over to this
woman’s apartment where she 14 the jacket from the second floor into his arms on the street. Today, the
jacket is still in our closet, and it’s a 15 of one (wo)man’s trash being another man’s treasure!

Passage 14
(2026·高三·广东深圳市·二模)
From popular tracks to remote valleys, weary hikers can always find a hut (小屋) to rest in New Zealand’s
countryside. But the hut network is too vast for the government to 1 , so ordinary people are stepping in.
Among them is Suzie Bell, who began hiking in 2010 and was 2 by the huts at first sight. “I was
just blown away when I 3 a hut in the middle of nowhere. I 4 in it for next to nothing,” Bell
recalled. She later learned there are around 950 huts across the country, most of which are 5 only on foot. Hikers
are welcome to use most of them 6 .
Bell wanted to give something back and 7 the Love Our Huts campaign. The 8 was
started by an outdoor recreation advocacy group in 2024, and more than 300 people have signed up for it. “We
really 9 our huts. They’re part of our cultural heritage,” said Bell.
Sustaining the hut network is 10 due to its size and remoteness. Each summer, Bell and her
husband 11 for five hours into the hills to wipe down beds, clean windows and pull out weeds. They are
delighted to offer their 12 to keep their much-loved huts safe and clean.
So far this summer, more than 500 huts have been tidied up by 13 . What they do 14 the
Māori concept of kaitiakitanga, where, as caretakers of the environment, we must 15 it for future
generations.

主题03 人与自然——人与动物
Passage 1
(2026·高三·浙江宁波市·二模)
I usually eat an apple on the drive home from work. Normally, I carry the core (果核) into the kitchen dustbin
marked “organics.”
But one day, I 1 the core as I climbed out of the car. Guiltily, I kicked it toward the fence, 2
myself to pick it up later. Of course. I forgot all about it.
The next morning, I noticed rabbit footprints around the fence. I remembered the apple core and felt a moment of
3 that some creature had found the treat I’d 4 left. I found myself grinning, and the happy moment
stuck in my mind.
That evening, I did the same thing at the same spot. To my delight, more 5 of different animals
were found. I began to Google them and take 6 for the following months in identifying my visitors. I felt
7 to a different world that existed all around me.
I didn’t share my new 8 with anyone and I knew the complaints from my neighbors about my
seemingly innocent gifts. I 9 all their cautionary voices and enjoyed my 10 every morning until
one day, the driveway was full of large prints, scattered mud and leaves, which deeply 11 the neighbors.
I didn’t say a word but 12 leaving my cores and my secret co-existence with wildlife came to an end.
This episode was just one innocent 13 to lessen the divide between ourselves and the many species
with whom we co-exist. It seems that living 14 our feathered and furred friends is a difficult challenge. I
am 15 that we can figure it out, or at least lessen our impact.
