Passage 1
(2026·高三·湖南怀化市·一模)
A group of senior high school graduates visited their old professor, eager to share postgraduation twists. As
they chatted 1 in the cozy living room, swapping ambition and frustration stories, the professor 2
himself and went to the kitchen. Soon, he returned with a steaming pot of coffee and a tray of various cups.
The cups were of all 3 — porcelain, glass, clay; some plain and dull, some 4 and
exquisitely carved; a few inlaid with sparkling crystals. “Help yourselves to the coffee,” the professor said, eyes
twinkling with purpose.
The students 5 and picked up the tray, eager to seize the finest cups, each striving for one that
6 the rest. Plain, simple ones were left 7 on the tray edge, unworthy of notice. With cups filling with
coffee in hand, the professor leaned back and spoke.
“I’ve observed something telling,” he said, glancing at their chosen cups. “You all picked out the eye-catching
cups, 8 the ordinary ones. But the cup itself adds no 9 to the coffee. You were so fixed on the
container that you barely noticed the coffee’s rich fragrance.”
The students fell silent, 10 by his words. The professor continued, “Life is coffee; jobs, wealth and status
are 11 . They are tools to 12 life, but cannot alter its 13 . Fixing gaze on ‘cups’
makes you 14 missing life’s genuine joy — the quiet fulfillment that 15 our souls.”
He paused, and then added softly, “The happiest don’t have the best of everything. They simply make the best
of what they have.” The students nodded, grasping the lesson hidden in a cup of coffee.

Passage 2
(2026·高三·湖南岳阳市·一模)
Several years ago, I went through a bad stretch — beaten down by loneliness and constant house construction.
To make matters worse, my disease became severe, leading to a 1 week in hospital. After a miraculous
escape from death, it dawned on me that I was still here for a reason. I needed to set my life on a better 2 .
Life is unpredictable. Thus the only thing I could control was my 3 — seeing troubles as challenges,
not defeats. Instead of self-criticizing, I could 4 joyful moments. Those small, brief moments I once 5
— a child’s laughter in the park, sunlight streaming through leaves, a friend’s casual kindness — suddenly felt worth
cherishing. But how?
I had always enjoyed photography but had 6 this habit for a long time in life’s mess. I decided to
pick it up, 7 one special moment daily. By the end of the year, I’d have 365 good memories recorded. That
was the 8 . As photos accumulated, I had proof of what I truly 9 .
The photos drew me from negativity. Problems were real but not 10 . I had been so fixed on things
not working that I’d forgotten good things were 11 around me. They were never rare, just unnoticed. Some
days felt 12 , but I gradually noticed lighthearted moments. The more I looked for them, the more 13
they seemed to become. All those photos I took encouraged focusing on the 14 — the warmth of a friend’s
smile, the calm of a quiet evening, and the joy of casual picnics.
It worked. I made a photo book. It 15 me of gratitude and that life moves at its own pace. The
book is now a family tradition. The photos didn’t fix everything, but they gave me light in the dark. And, one photo
at a time, that made all the difference.

Passage 3
(2026·高三·湖南邵阳市·一模)
After my father passed away, I found his old journal in the attic. Its leather cover was worn, and many pages
had come loose. Instead of placing it back in the dusty box, I felt a sudden impulse to 1 it.
I visited a small bookbinding shop downtown. The elderly bookbinder, with gentle eyes, showed me how to
2 the fragile pages. “Every old book holds a soul,” he remarked softly. His words made me realize that this was
more than just paper; it was a piece of my father’s 3 .
Weeks later, I collected the journal, admiring its new 4 . The bookbinder had not only fixed the pages
but also 5 its beauty with careful work. Holding it, I felt a deep 6 connection to my father.
This experience inspired a community 7 . I started a small workshop where people could bring their
old books for repair. The project became a bridge connecting generations, as elders and youngsters worked together,
sharing 8 . A girl named Susan, after helping repair her grandmother’s poetry book, told me, “I never knew
Grandma wrote such 9 poems. I would have 10 this part of her without our project.”
Our effort has now 11 into a regular community event. We’ve set up a small library for all the
restored books. This journey has taught me that restoration is about 12 bonds between past and present.
Even a single book can 13 people in unexpected ways. The most meaningful discoveries often come from
preserving what is almost 14 , and conversations from a 15 act of caring are often the most

In 1990, Karen de Boer, a college freshman, felt thrilled when she got into her school's well-known choir (合
唱团) — a group set to tour China and Japan that year. She valued this chance deeply, eager to 1 on the
international stage.
One 2 morning, the choir was to perform at a church an hour away. But Karen overslept, suddenly waking
up to find the bus long gone. She felt the bottom of her stomach had just 3 out — fearing being labeled
immature, kicked out, and losing the dream 4 .
Stuck with no car or nearby friends to 5 , Karen wandered the hallway, tears burning. Then neighbor
Pam stepped out. Their relationship was ever 6 : Karen and her roommates often made noise late, ignoring
Pam's polite requests for 7 — she needed peace to sleep or study.
8 , Karen said quickly about her trouble: oversleeping, missing the bus, the urgent performance. To
her shock, Pam smiled, “I have a car and know the church. Let's 9 .” Strange-Karen had been unkind, yet

In a remote village in Zambia, where roads seem to stretch endlessly before reaching the nearest town, a

My six-year-old son, Callum, is on the autism spectrum (自闭症). Sometimes, 1 tasks like ordering

his favorite Happy Meal toy was lost.
That’s when the cashier of McDonald’s, whose name tag 3 “Nia”, stepped in. She 4 down

Watching her interact with my son filled me with 9 . You know how employees are so busy that they

While Callum enjoyed himself, I took the 11 to ask Nia how she knew exactly what to do. “Kids
like him are 12 , but the world doesn’t always work for them. If I can change a little, then it’s worthwhile.”
Actually, Nia was 13 college classes in the mornings, working at McDonald’s in the afternoons, and

Passage 1
(2026·高三·湖南湘西州·一模 )
At 44, I never thought I’d dive headfirst — literally — into learning to swim. Yet, here I was. I showed up for
my first lesson, feeling 1 in my son’s old goggles (泳镜) and a bathing suit more suitable for hanging
around. It turned out that the coach and my classmates were 2 . They told me by breaking the process down into
3
steps: first floating, then gliding, then kicking. By the end of my first class, I had not only learned the basics but
also 4 something else: the beauty of the water.
It was the first time for me to 5 the length of the pool. In the process, the sense of 6 was
beyond words. With every cheer from my coach and classmates, I 7 that I wasn’t just learning to swim —
I was proving to myself that I could face a lifelong fear and come out 8 .
Long after the lesson ended, that feeling 9 me. I found myself 10 replaying it in my
head: the cool water wrapping me, my arms and legs moving in a rhythm (节奏) I’d never thought I’d master, and
the 11 I felt when I finally touched the opposite wall. For years, I’d 12 pools — even beach
trips — because the fear of not knowing how to swim made me feel small, like I was 13 something

Passage 3
(2026·高三·湖南华大新高考联盟·一模)
As a child, I was convinced that a career in health was for me. I dreamed of creating pioneering 1
to treat patients all around the world.
But as the years progressed, my 2 seemed unattainable. It was hard to see myself in a field where
few people from my background were 3 , since I was one of the only Black students in my STEM courses. I
wanted to become both a(n) 4 and a surgeon. As a first-generation student, I also struggled to find
guidance on how to reach my career goal. But my undergraduate advisers were 5 and suggested I focus
on one field. These experiences left me 6 my plans.
But things changed after I started rowing. I 7 joined my college’s boat club just to expand my social
circle. Rowing suffers from the same lack of 8 as biomedical research, with very few Black women rowers.
When I joined the boat club, I was very nervous — the same feeling I experienced in science. I assumed rowing was
demanding. Luckily, my fellow rowers 9 me, who not only gave me guidance to improve my 10
, but made me feel valued. Thus, I now 11 the fact I’m already doing what once appeared impossible when
I’m having my doubts about 12 in science.
Rowing also helped me develop discipline and a new approach for tackling difficult tasks. I also began to use a
strategy of rowing in my PhD．: viewing my 13 experiments as many simple goals. Instead of giving in
to the fear of 14 , I focused on how to ensure each step was successful. Over time, I’ve found a new level
of 15 — both on the water and in the lab.

Passage 4
(2026·高三·湖南益阳市·一模)
One ordinary afternoon, seeking an old novel for research, I wandered into a cluttered secondhand bookstore.
When I 1 the dusty shelves, a familiar spine (书脊) caught my eye. My heart 2 a beat — it
was a childhood 3 I hadn’t seen in decades — the very copy that had been stolen from my school bag.
4 nostalgia (怀旧), I bought it immediately.
Back at my desk, I carefully opened the 5 cover. What I saw left me breathless. There, on the first
page, was my 6 childhood signature. But beneath it, unmistakable in its flowing writing, was my
grandfather’s 7 , written when he first 8 it to me: “I really hope at many years later this book
will once again fall into your hands, and you’ll read it again.”
A wave of 9 washed over me. I recalled my childish 10 when the book was lost, and
Grandpa’s 11 words: “Don’t cry, little one. Perhaps it’s just on an adventure, learning new stories to share.”
Now, holding this tangible piece of my past, his hopeful wish felt like a 12 fulfilled. The book had
completed its long, unexpected 13 , guided by an 14 thread of love. Grandpa’s simple words
was no longer just a wish; it was a profound proof to the enduring connections that time and distance cannot 15
. Sometimes, love truly does find its way back home, even through the yellowed pages of a forgotten book.

Passage 5
(2026·高三·湖南天壹名校联盟·一模)
It was an ordinary Friday afternoon when Nolan, my eight-year-old son, changed how I see the world. As we
1 my car with chocolate milkshakes, he noticed a man sitting alone on a street bench. I saw the man too, but
only as a faint, 2 figure. I hurried Nolan into my car. Nolan, however, saw his 3 clearly, with
no judgment or pity-only a sincere, gentle 4 .
That night, my son’s words of sharing the experience landed in my chest like a soft weight. I realized I’d grown
so caught up in to-do lists to fulfill and parental 5 to well raise kids that I gradually had turned cold and
blind, 6 others’ faces, stories and silent needs.
We stuck to a weekly tradition of buying milkshakes. One Friday, without saying a word, Nolan 7
an extra milkshake over to him. The man looked 8 but smiled. They just sat for a minute. No questions,
no 9 . It was a simple yet warm moment between two people 10 silence and sweetness.
This small act deeply moved me. What began as a simple 11 became a meaningful habit of kindness
and awareness. Nolan taught me that 12 does not need to be great or expensive. It only means noticing
others, being present, and 13 them. Now I slow down and look up. I am learning to 14 see the world
through my son’s eyes. I never 15 the power of a kind gesture — even one as small as a chocolate
milkshake.

Passage 6
(2026·高三·湖南郴州市·一模)
“Mom, we need to come up with a hobby to do together on Skype,” my daughter Kristen said one day. Two
years ago, Kristen had moved from Philadelphia to San Francisco. While we had video calls regularly, she longed for
something more 1 .
I thought hard and said, “You know I’m terrible at 2 , but what about making pot holders?” I
remembered 3 them with cotton threads over a small loom (织布机). They were simple to master, but I
hoped I still had the skills.
Without hesitation, Kristen accepted the 4 . She immediately 5 weaving looms and
materials for both of us online, calling our project “Patti’s Pot Holders”. And so, our weekly crafting 6 began.
We spend time 7 the instructions through the Skype video call: 8 the threads horizontally to
the sides of the frame, then weaving others over and under them. It required 9 and patience. However, as
our fingers grew more skilled with the rhythm of the work, a wonderful 10 occurred. We found we could work
almost 11 , freeing us to have long conversations.
Our talks grew 12 . We asked each other honest questions and shared true feelings. I felt I learned
more about my daughter than when she lived nearby.
Now, the colorful pot holders I’ve made so far 13 on my kitchen wall like an art display. But the
real 14 was the bond we built through those shared hours across the miles. Like angels flying between
Philadelphia and San Francisco, our love found a new way to 15 .

Passage 1
(2026·高三·湖南长郡中学·一模)
Lin Wan has long regarded the ancient water town of her childhood as her deepest root. Although she’d had
childhood 1 of bringing wonderful stories to the village children and studied publishing in university
with a wish to pursue a 2 in a top city press, finding a suitable job proved more 3 than she’d
expected.
“I decided that if nobody was going to 4 me, I would just build a story space for the children
myself,” says Lin Wan. She was born and raised in a town with a deep love for traditional culture, so the 5
of a countryside picture book library came naturally to her and began to 6 .

permission,” she says.
Three years later, the shabby old hall had turned into a warm, bright library filled with over 30,000 books. “
10 , I had little confidence in the beginning,” says Lin Wan, “but the Town Library grew in popularity and has
become one of the most beloved 11 for children and even tourists in the county.”
While many village children had never touched a picture book before, 12 a themed library, the quiet
space allows them to 13 the boring daily routine for a while, dive into the magic of stories, gain a
newfound 14 for the outside world, and maybe even 15 with their own cultural roots and the
beauty of their hometown they’d ignored for long.

I’d been a fast-fashion lover until a holiday in Kenya, which changed everything.
While I was walking along a river, I 1 a mountain of clothes — they sank into the water. But to my

determined to change.
With lots of spare clothes in my closet, I ran a swap (交换) shop in my community. A woman came and 5
her weary coat for a dress and said, “This feels like a treasure 6 !” An elderly man brought a suit that he’d
worn to his wedding, and a young teacher tried it on and laughed 7 , “I need this for my school play!” Then
they started exchanging their own experiences and became friends.

Clothes carry memories, and swapping lets them 10 . Also, letting go of spare stuff clears space — both

Passage 3
(2026·高三·湖南衡阳八中·一模)
One Sunday morning, I started a unique adventure: attending my very first ballet class, though not as a
participant. This was an extraordinary chance to 1 professional dancers during their daily 75-minute session at the
art centre.
As I stepped into the studio, I was 2 struck by the sheer grace of the dancers. Forty-five minutes into
the class, their energy remained 3 , and they showed no trace of exhaustion. 4 watching the dancers
perform the basic warm-up was a calming experience, witnessing the floor exercises was anything but. Their
movements 5 with such apparent ease, yet I was acutely aware of the 6 amount of practice and
dedication required to achieve such mastery.
At the end of the class, I couldn't help but applaud. I was left in complete awe, not only of my own inadequacy
but also of the dancers' incredible 7 . On my way home, I found myself 8 on my own life. Thanks to
technology, so many aspects of life have become 9 .We have access to free music, home delivery services,
and instant communication with friends. But instead of always taking 10 , perhaps I should seek out
challenges. I believe that once I start undertaking difficult tasks, they will gradually become more manageable, until
one day, I can complete my own “ballet warm-up” without even 11 .
With the vivid images of the dancers still 12 in my mind, I resolved to take on more difficult tasks:
lifting heavier weights, choosing the stairs over the elevator, and 13 my language learning pace. They may
mark the beginning of my new journey. Sometimes, a simple 14 can have a profound impact on our
lives, 15 us to strive for self-improvement.

Some police were eating in a restaurant. Suddenly, a man burst in, 1 stamped across his face,

happened.”
Between shaky breaths, the father 5 that he’d turned his back for only seconds in the grocery-lot
two blocks away and when he returned, his daughter, Lily, had 6 . He described her blond hair and pink
jacket, voice 7 on her name. Then, a boy whispered, “I saw her.” The officer 8 to his level, “Where
did you see her?” The boy pointed toward the street; “A man was carrying her. He went that way.”
The officers rushed outside, following the boy’s 9 to a side street where a figure hurried along.
“Stop! Police!” the lead officer yelled. Having found Lily’s arms swinging, the officers 10 faster. In
time, they 11 the suspect in a narrow passage. With an eventual burst of speed, the officer tackled him
to the ground. Another officer 12 Lily into his arms. “You’re safe and 13 now. Luckily,

“We’ll be getting the rent.” Helen’s father started the engine. So that was why he had time for Helen today.
Before the economy 3 , when their family’s store had still been successful, her father had 4 two
houses and rented them as apartments. Helen couldn’t 5 where their family would be without that rent.
“But, Dad, if you sold the 6 , we’d get more money. ” Helen suggested. Her father smiled with a sigh.

And where would our lodgers（租户）that even lack food move?” Helen 9 . That made sense.
Their family was 10 fortunate, compared to the lodgers worried about food or even 11 .

her small dress. Her father’s 12 was becoming understandable because their lodgers needn’t 13
