(2026·安徽马鞍山·二模)
On a much-needed walk outside Boston’s Symphony Hall, I felt the distance from my home in California more
than ever.

the crosswalk, 2 the street.
As I crossed the street, our eyes 3 . She looked at me so directly that I smiled back. “Hi, I don’t speak
Chinese, but how can I help?” I asked the older Chinese woman.
She showed me a picture on her phone: Trader Joe’s grocery store. I 4 my best impression of a
mime (哑剧) trying to show the way. 5 , she showed me the picture again. I realized my 6 were getting
us nowhere. “OK, I’ll take you there myself,” I said to her, 7 for her to come along. Walking down
Massachusetts Avenue, she said “xiè xie” every few moments.
When we arrived, she showed me a picture of bread, with an 8 look. I got what she meant and led
her into the 9 . She smiled at me as though I was her 10 and this was our weekly 11 run.
My new aunt handed me a bag with a single loaf (条) of bread inside. I tried to refuse, but she insisted until I 12
it.
As I carried that loaf home, I realized something had 13 . In helping her find her 14 , I

Passage 3
(2026·安徽淮北·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

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 2

I had mixed experiences with public speaking when I was young. Most were good, but some were 1

years.
After graduation, I became a policy advisor and was in constant 3 with various clients. The job

later changed. I spent a decade working part-time and, 5 , I no longer used my speaking skills as often as
before. When I returned to a senior full-time role, the confidence I once had had 6 .

Passage 3
(2026·安徽滁州·模拟)
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 .

Back in 2007, Uruguay had a serious problem with no obvious answer: The economy was growing very fast,
but there wasn’t enough energy to power the rapid 1 .
Then Ramón Méndez Galain, a physicist, started 2 different potential paths for Uruguay’s energy
future. Finally, he wrote a plan that Uruguay could almost entirely 3 renewable energy. There would be
less 4 and it would be the most economical choice Uruguay could make in the long run.
Méndez Galain’s plan was built around two simple 5 about his country. First, while there wasn’t a
domestic (国内的) supply of coal or oil, there was a great deal of 6 . Second, that wind blew over a country
that was known for 7 grassland. His plan for Uruguay’s energy future was to 8 the empty
grassland into hundreds of wind farms.
To solve the problem of how to pay for all those wind farms, Méndez Galain came up with a variation on
a(n) 9 used by some electric plants in neighboring Brazil, in which state-owned power plants handled
energy generation, while 10 companies were in charge of power distribution and customer service.
Méndez Galain’s plan changed the relationship to the 11 , so that private companies would be in charge
of setting up and 12 the wind farms, while the state-owned power companies would distribute that
energy to its customers.
The strategy worked 13 well. Just within a few years, Méndez Galain had 14 what he had set
out to do: 98% of Uruguay’s 15 comes from renewable sources.

Passage 1

It was 10 p.m. on a winter night in Boston. I sat in the sofa, staring at a 1 Word document. My paper

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

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 .

Passage 2
(2025·安徽芜湖·联考)
On that day, the Yellow Emperor showed the poet his palace. Gradually, they dropped down toward a
paradise (天堂) or garden whose metal mirrors hinted at the labyrinth (迷宫). At first, they let themselves get lost
1 , as if in a game. Later, they felt some concern, since the labyrinth’s straight avenues were gently but inescapably
curved: secretly, they formed 2 . Around midnight, the well-timed 3 of a tortoise enabled them
to disengage themselves from this seemingly bewitched area, though not from the feeling that they were lost.
When the Imperial household 4 , people threw themselves to the ground. One day, they docked at an
island where a man 5 to do so because he had never seen the Son of the Sky, and the executioner had to
sever his head. Reality and dreams became confused, or rather, reality was one 6 of dreams. Every hundred
paces, a tower pierced the air; in their eyes, they were all the 7 colour, and yet the first one was yellow
and the last one scarlet (猩红色的), so fine were the gradations and so long the sequence.
At the foot of the next-to-last tower, the poet, who had seemed removed from the extraordinary sights that so
8 the others, recited (当众吟诵) the short poem that brought him 9 and death. The text has been lost.
Some say it consisted of a single line of poetry; others, of a single 10 . What is certain, incredibly, is that
within the poem was the entire, enormous palace lived by each dynasty of mortals (凡人), gods, and dragons that
had 11 there since the furthest reaches of the past. Everyone fell silent, and the Emperor exclaimed: “You have
taken away my palace!” The 12 iron sword terminated the poet’s life.
Others tell the story differently. There cannot be two identical things in the world: as soon as the poet recited
the poem, the palace 13 as if blasted and swept away by the final syllable (音节). Of course, legends like
this are 14 fiction. The poet was the Emperor’s slave and died accordingly. His poem fell into oblivion (彻底遗
忘) because that was what it 15 . His followers are still searching for the word that is the world, but they
will not find it.

Passage 1
(2022·安徽宣城·二模)
Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of their country’s persistent problems: garbage
and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. As a student and 1 she is asking local snack lovers a 2
: Rather than throw empty chip bags 3 into the trash, 4 them! Then she can turn them into sleeping
bags for the homeless.
Chip 5 drop off their empty bags at two 6 : a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita
and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize (清洁) the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them
open, 7 them flat, and iron them together. They 8 fillings to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to 9 a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending
on whether they’re single-serve or family 10 . The 11 is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof,
lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told theNews.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has 12 more than 800, 000 chip bags and, 13
last December, created 110 sleeping bags.
Sure, it would be 14 to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But the project is only half the
15 for Oleita whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a
better life — and her fellow volunteers. “We are dedicated to making an impact not only 16 but
environmentally,” she says.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of recycling bags that would 17 land in the trash and using
them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful 18 that environmental 19 and poverty often go hand
in hand. As Oleita toldlocalnews. com,“I think it’s time to show 20 between all of these issues.”
