Passage 1
(2026·哈师大附中·二模)
In a small village on the sun-baked edge of the Sahara, 15-year-old Amara Keita would watch the sun set
behind the dunes (沙丘), always puzzled by a single question: Why did such
1
energy go to waste every
day? While his peers were chasing makeshift footballs, Amara
2
deserted car batteries and solar panels
from the local garbage.
His teachers thought he was
3
— “No university would accept a boy who talks to machines,” they
commented. But Amara believed the desert sun could

the solution to the severe shortage of electricity
in his village. To realize his dream, for three years, he worked alone in a mud-brick shelter,
5
over 50
models before constructing a solar-powered water pump that could run for 72 hours on a single charge.
When the pump successfully irrigated old Moussa’s wheat field, the village elders
6
their heads in
disbelief. News reached that a visiting UN engineer
7
Amara’s design to international investors. Fortunately,
they agreed to fund the project. At 19, Amara now leads a team installing solar wires across
8
villages,
though he still returns to maintain his first pump every weekend as a
9
. “This old pump makes me
remember,” he says, running his fingers over its weathered surface affectionately.
Amara’s story proves a truth often forgotten:
10
isn’t about having expensive tools, but about spotting
potential where others see
11
. “The desert teaches us two things,” he reflects. “How little we have, and
how
12
we can make of it.” His next project? A solar-powered school where children won’t have to
study by the light of a
13
anymore.
What began as one boy’s

has grown into a movement — proving that even the toughest

Passage 1
(2026·内蒙古乌兰察布市·二模)
I woke up to a 2:40 am call from my assistant news director. I was informed that we had Nobel Prize winners
with 1 in the Seattle area. One winner, Fred Ramsdell, lived on Bainbridge Island while another winner,
Mary E. Brunkow, was in North Seattle; so we 2 I would head to Brunkow’s address while we 3
someone else to cover Ramsdell.
An hour later, I arrived at the right house. When I 4 , their dog barked and woke Mary’s husband,
Ross, who spoke to me through the glass door. I 5 myself and asked if a Mary lived there. Seeing no other
way in, I told him, “Sir, your wife just won the Nobel Prize.” He let me in, and I took 6 pictures as he
brought Mary to the kitchen while telling her the news. They were still in 7 , so I helped convince them
by 8 my phone to Ross with our initial Associated Press story, which he read to Mary.
The initial mood, very 9 , was a mix of tension, annoyance and doubt at being woken up at 3:45 am.
As soon as Mary and Ross began to 10 the news and realized that all those 11 calls from
Sweden overnight weren’t spam (垃圾邮件), her mood shifted to one of 12 .
Everyone Brunkow spoke with asked her how she found out about her 13 . She got to tell them it

The girls’ basketball team at Academy of Classical Christian Studies thought they’d won the final until their
coach, Brendan King, called them to the gym on Sunday.

School. But afterwards King watched the game
2
and discovered a key mistake.
The game itself was dramatic. Scoring was

until the fourth quarter, when Apache pulled away by

freshman Lily Payne hit a
6
3-point to top Apache by a point for the school’s first-ever championship. But
King stood still with a

feeling in his gut (直觉).
That night, King counted every point on his notebook and his gut was
8
. By his count, Academy
had lost the game by a point. At 1 a.m., depressed but

to know the truth, King alerted the athletic director.
Then, he told the players to meet him at school and

the news.
King said to his players, “I’m so proud of you, but we need to

this.” The team agreed to return
the trophy (奖杯) to the
12
winner. With his team’s

and gave the trophy to them.
After that, the Apache players re-created what would’ve been the game-winning shot from a

Passage 3
(2026·吉林·二模)
Last year was difficult for my family. My husband lost his job and my part-time job was uncertain, leaving us
anxious about money. Small 1 began to feel much heavier. The old mailboxes at the end of our driveway
became such a 2 . They were old and rusty. Every time I saw them, they seemed to 3 all the
problems in our life. A simple 4 usually crossed my mind — two nicer mailboxes. However, it was just a 5
thought.
However, something unexpected happened. One day, our neighbor informed us that a young driver had 6
crashed into and destroyed the mailboxes. My initial worry was about the unexpected 7 we couldn’t
afford.
Later, when I left the house, I witnessed a heartwarming 8 . Where the broken mailboxes once
stood, a new post now held two 9 mailboxes. They looked beautiful and neat. Inside one box was a
handwritten note from Audree, the 18-year-old driver. She deeply
1 0
and explained she had used her own
savings from a part-time job to
1 1
and install these new mailboxes.
We contacted Audree’s mother to thank her and ensure the girl was okay. She shared that this was Audree’s
first accident, and it became a valuable lesson in
1 2
for her. For me, the
1
was far more than
just getting new mailboxes. During a time when I felt
1 4
by troubles, this act of honesty and kindness
from a young stranger served as a powerful reminder and
1 5
my hope.

Passage 1
(2026·黑龙江哈尔滨·二模)
The charm of the ocean has always been a powerful force, and among its most grand inhabitants is the
humpback whale. My personal encounter with a humpback whale is an experience that has
1
my
understanding of the natural world and my place within it.
That morning, our research ship floated quietly in the Gulf of Alaska. After hours of patient
2
, a
huge humpback whale suddenly
3
just meters away. It stayed beside us,
4
lifting its head as if
studying us in return. At one remarkable moment, the whale turned and directly
5
me — its large, intelligent
eye holding mine in a gaze that felt
6
and deeply connecting. Time seemed to stand still in that brief but
unforgettable moment.
Scientists believe such friendly behavior
7
curiosity — a specific and sincere attempt to
8
the species divide and understand the humans beside it. During those profound minutes, the whale felt like a conscious,
thoughtful being choosing to
9
with us rather than swim away. This rare mutual attentiveness, especially
that amazing moment of silent eye contact, transformed the simple encounter into a(n)
10
beyond words. It
completely changed my understanding of interspecies
11
and the hidden bond between humans and
animals.
To me, the whale’s graceful 1
2
felt like a silent prayer for coexistence, 1

me that we
are part of nature. As marine biologist Sylvia Earle once said, “No blue, no green.” Without healthy oceans, there is
no healthy 1

Passage 2
(2026·黑龙江·二模)
Caleb was fifty-seven when the doctor told him he was suffering from early-onset Alzheimer’s, a brain disease
that slowly makes people forgetful. As an architect, he responded not with despair but with
1
love.
He began leaving small notes for his wife, Nora, in unexpected places, such as inside her gardening gloves.
One afternoon, Nora found a note he’d
2
on the kitchen table. His handwriting, once
3
, now
shook across the lined paper, yet the words carried a weight that time couldn’t
4
.
“Nora, each morning I wake and feel pieces of myself
5
— names, dates. I have the
6
that I may no longer recognize myself in the mirror. But I need you to know: even if I forget everything else, I’ll
7
to remember you. I want to be the man who still
8
your hand, who still knows why his heart beats faster
when you smile. Love, Caleb.”
She read it tearfully, her fingers brushing the uneven
9
. In the months that followed, as his
10
grew shorter and his world narrowed,
11
, that note became her
12
.
Determined to honor the love he’d poured into each word, Nora
13
every note. Then, she published
them as a lasting gift — a proof that would outlast even the cruelest disease. The illness stole his
14
,
but it couldn’t affect what he had chosen to leave behind. It was a perfect record crafted in love’s own
15
hand.

Passage 3
(2026·内蒙古·二模)
Why do some people seem to get more affected by some movies but some others don’t get that affected? In a
previous article about empathy (同情心), I said that once we identify with someone, because they
1
us of
ourselves, we can easily get
2
.
For example, if your arm was broken and had to put it in a cast (石膏), then you saw a movie about a
3
person. You are very likely to get
4
by that movie reminding you of what you are going through. The same
can also happen when someone reminds you of a family member or a person you care about. Many people see their
moms, dads, or relatives in movies and
5
, get really influenced.
In such a case, crying in the movie gives you the
6
to release the stored unconscious (无意识的)
emotions while consciously believing that you are crying because of the movie. Now so many people go to
7
movies because they are already sad and because they are looking for a way to
8
some of this sadness.
While watching a movie, an unconscious 9
of memories and fears can happen. This can lead to strong
emotions that can be easily
10
with the movie’s effect. If, for example, the movie reminded you of some
of your memories or fears, then you can get really emotional and feel like
11
.
Now you might be wondering why some people get affected
12
than others by movies. The
13
is simple.
14
on your own beliefs, values, and concerns, you will get affected in an unusual
way. And
15
each person is unique, some people get affected more often than others by movies.

Passage 4
(2026·内蒙古呼和浩特·二模)
My dad was never much of a talker. He didn’t tell stories about himself at the dinner table or when we went
for walks in the park. He was a 1 person and seemed to want to stay that way.
But when my relationship and career 2 a year ago, things had to change. In a moment of 3
, it occurred to me that sending an email might be the 4 . An email can be crafted slowly and carefully, I
could speak at a comfortable distance and give him room to 5 . So I wrote him a message. I told him
about my 6 and fears, and I asked him to answer.
Two weeks later, it 7 in my mailbox: a scanned, three-page document with the title handwritten in
my father’s 8 all capital letters: “PEOPLE I LIKED, BY LUIGI.” Dad had carefully considered my
message, 9 his memory and
1 0
a response — his history of love, longing, self-doubt,
struggle and
1 1
. It was seeing his love in writing that gave me
1 2
.
I closed the email and started to cry. I cried because I wished I had opened up earlier but was
1 3
it wasn’t too late, and because I thought I knew him and now
1 4
there was so much I hadn’t
discovered.
We’ve since had many email
1 5
. It’s hard to talk to dads sometimes. I’m glad I found a way to
talk to mine.
