Passage 1
（2026·河南开封·二模）
I never truly understood China’s global influence until that summer in Nairobi. As a volunteer teacher, I had
expected to 16 basic English to local children, but what I discovered was far more 17 .
On my first day at the community center, I noticed a group of children 18 around a small tablet,
their faces lit with enthusiasm. The entire class was 19 by the vivid colors and dynamic characters of the
cartoons. “We love these stories!” one girl told me in 20 English. I was astonished that Chinese cultural
products had reached this 21 corner of the world.
The real 22 came during our traditional culture class. When I showed them Chinese paper-cutting, a
boy named Joseph 23 shouted, “This looks just like the patterns on my grandmother’s dress!” His
grandmother, as it turned out, 24 a Chinese skilled worker decades ago. This 25 between
cultures left me speechless.
As weeks passed, I 26 more connections. The local hospital used Chinese-made medical
equipment, and the new highway being built nearby was 27 by Chinese companies. I began to see
China’s influence not as a distant concept, but as a living, breathing 28 in people’s daily lives.
On my last day, the children presented me with a thank-you card 29 with Chinese characters.
Holding that card, I felt a profound (深刻的) sense of 30 in my country and its role in the world.

Passage 1
（2026·河南信阳·二模）
One freezing morning last February, I walked through Ontario Place. Trees were frozen 1 . Large

in, I’m more than ready to 14 the cold again.
From the stories we’ve shared about ourselves, I know I’m not the only one who faces life’s 15 .

Sometimes, just a few words at the critical moment can change the direction of someone’s life — and this was
exactly what happened to Elizabeth Vaughan.
Forty years ago, as a seventh grader, she 31 a solo (单人表演) in the school choir’s (合唱团)
performance. The day of the show, she was backstage, looking through the curtains, the 32 packed with
people. Everyone filed in. The curtain opened and the choir began to 33 . A single microphone was
standing at the front of the stage, lit by a bright spotlight, ready for her solo. It was her 34 .
Initially, everything went 35 . She felt overjoyed, singing extremely confidently. Then came the last
high note. With her 36 nearly touching the microphone, the note suddenly exploded out of the 37
, ear-piercing (刺耳的) and deafeningly loud. All the audience’s heads, involuntarily, sprang back in their 38
, some having their jaws dropped wide open. How embarrassing! She truly wanted the stage to 39 and
swallow her whole.
Eventually, the concert ended. She still remained 40 . Just then appeared a pair of large athletic shoes.
“You have a very 41 voice!” the new guy comforted.
42 by him, she transformed from deciding never to sing in front of people again to considering
43 with music. Now she is a professional singer, songwriter and a 44 teacher. Her unsung hero’s
small act of grace is a reminder that a few 45 words can change the course of a life.

At 72, writer Francis Chin decided to learn something new. After years in media and journalism, he wanted to
stay active and relevant — rather than simply 61 . A former colleague once told him that data scientists
were in high demand, and this 62 him to take a course in data science.
Although he had 63 later in life before — earning a bachelor’s degree at 44 and a master’s at 51— online
learning was a completely 64 experience for him. He also remembered 65 with math in
school, and data science involved topics like statistics and logic. Still, he refused to let that 66 him.
Whenever he found the lessons hard to follow, he asked questions 67 , something he believed came easier
with 68 . Soon, he discovered that data science was not as 69 as it first seemed. Eventually, the
subject began to 70 .
As he learned more, Francis began to see how data science could be used to solve 71 problems. For
one project, he researched how 72 learning might help reduce mistakes in breast cancer screening. Even
if he never works as a data scientist, he feels 73 to have gained new skills in an important field.
Now, Francis hopes to combine his 74 experience with what he has learned. He plans to write a
free book about using tools like ChatGPT and other AI programs. To fellow 75 , he says: keep learning,
stay curious, and never believe it is too late to grow.

Worse still, doctors later found the pain came from appendix (阑尾) cancer — I was battling two cancers at once!
The 96 treatments that followed taught me a priceless 97 : being alive with my family was the

This made me realize that every day is a fresh start, not just January Ist. So I chose to 99 New

Passage 1

Forty years ago, Yin Yuzhen arrived at her new home in a vast desert in northern China. Her new house lay
half buried under 46 . Strong winds howled, and terrible heat made life extremely 47 . While
many people would have 48 , Yuzhen chose to stay. “I would rather die in planting trees than live buried
by the desert,” she said, beginning a lifelong 49 with the harsh environment.
Poverty beat the people here as well as Yuzhen and her family. She and her husband worked 50 to
afford young trees. She slept only a few hours each night. With rigid surroundings and simple tools of planting, they
often worked in the extreme condition. Small 51 covered their hands and arms. What saddened her was
that the survival rate of the trees was very 52 . Heavy labor was not a guarantee for a better result. She

shrubs and grasses to 54 the soil. Then, she planted taller trees like poplars and pines to protect the fruit
trees inside. 55 , her efforts paid off. The 56 land transformed into a green oasis. Over four
decades, she has turned over 70,000 acres of desert into woodland, becoming a symbol of China’s large-scale tree-
planting project.
Yuzhen’s story also inspired an American teacher, Donald Jones. In 2015, he traveled to meet her and 57
her team. He learned to plant trees, working hard under difficult conditions. He planted over 2,000 trees and formed
a deep 58 with Yuzhen, calling her his “sister”. Their friendship showed that environmental protection is

I’m a college instructor guiding students in their academic projects. Last month, one student team listed my
name as their 166 in their business plan without my 167 . They were highly devoted to their
project. Therefore, I left a brief and gentle 168 on the document, suggesting they seek permission before
listing others’ names. I then 169 their plan and thought nothing more of it.
Several days later during my office hour, a shy and silent student from the team waited 170 outside my
office. He appeared deeply upset and his body 171 slightly. Upon entering the room, he begged me to shut
the door and repeatedly 172 Before I could ease his anxiety, he nervously claimed that the 173
was entirely his own. At the same time, he begged me not to 174 his teammates, which struck me
deeply.
I smiled and patted him gently on the shoulder to 175 his tension. I explained that it was 176
an innocent error and that I felt no anger at all. We then had a long 177 about the challenges and
expectations of their project, and he gradually 178 .
When he left my office, all signs of 179 had faded away. He stepped out with a broad smile and

time.
Upon returning home for summer break, I noticed a 86 between us. One night, I shared my
insecurities, 87 that I thought she didn’t like me. She paused and then said, “I guess I needed to distance
myself. But, Alex, I love you, and I will always be here for you. And part of that means letting you 88 .”

Passage 2
（2026·河南郑州·二模）
I look at the notebooks in front of me, whose covers hold pages of slightly different shades of white. They
were filled with scribbles (潦草的字) of informational 106 and short stories in Chinese.
It started with textbooks mailed to us by a cousin in China, filled with little notes that offered a quick look into
school life there — a life so 107 , yet so different from my American experience. These books became
my 108 in reading and writing Chinese.
Hour after hour throughout most of my childhood, I copied texts over and over. They became the building
blocks that 109 my proficiency (熟练) far above my classmates’. The cost was the pain in my fingers,
which turned into a lasting 110 of the characters instead. Now I no longer copy textbooks. I maintain my
proficiency in the language by being 111 in the exciting world of online novels.
Many of my Chinese American friends don’t share the same 112 in reading. It’s a bit heartbreaking that
I can’t fully share the beauty and complexity of Chinese with my friends. But we still have fun speaking Mandarin
(普通话) sometimes. There’s something especially amusing about hearing high schoolers who can 113
polished English essays using simple, childish Mandarin phrases. And it’s 114 , too — a small escape from
the stress of school, in a language that reminds us of our 115 .
People often describe New York as a melting pot of cultures, but it’s 116 to know that in this
busy city, there’s also a place for me and the language I 117 inside. Walking through Chinatown, I can
see beyond the English translations of shop signs and understand the meaning hidden beneath. It feels like being let
in on a special secret, a way to 118 a close-knit community and find a moment of 119 .

close.
Sachin and I both grew up in India, where competition is fierce and pursuing 126 is prized. We
carried a perfectionist mindset into graduate school, and new pressures made us want faultless first drafts, but the
result was a 127 .
Having someone beside me 128 everything. It was a means to ensure 129 . Our informal
agreement soon became a 130 . We scheduled weekly 90-minute sessions for focused writing, setting a
small goal each time — it made the sessions surprisingly 131 .
Small wins built momentum (动力) and 132 . Writing never got easy, but it became less 133
. Later, we launched peer co-working sessions for other students. What began as two stuck students soon became a

Passage 4
（2026·河南信阳·二模）
The summer I turned 16, I decided to become a guitarist. I found online lessons, and 151 .
For week one, it was great. My fingers 152 , but I told myself that was part of the process. Physical
pain meant 153 . I was convinced that I’d be playing my favorite songs in no time. Then week two 154
. The simple chords (和弦) felt impossible. I practiced with my door locked, 155 for anyone to hear. By
week three, the guitar sat in the corner, gathering 156 . Every time I looked at it, I felt a wave of 157
. But picking it up again felt even worse.
Dad found me staring at it one afternoon. “You quit?” he asked. I 158 . “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 159
your time. It just means you find out it isn’t your thing. That’s 160 too.” I didn’t pick the guitar back up.
But I kept 161 about what he said. We hear so much about never quitting. But there’s something to trying
something. It’s that you 162 it a real shot, and walk away when it doesn’t fit. The next year, I joined the
photography club. It 163 I had a good eye for light and composition. And I 164 found my way
there by failing at guitar.
