B（26-27高三上·安徽·开学考试）
Standing barefoot on the dark lava (熔岩) fields of Mount Yasur, Philip, known locally as the “barefoot volcanologist”, faces one of the most active volcanoes in the world. The dramatic image was captured by photographer Elle Leontiev on the remote Pacific island of Tanna in Vanuatu and later won the Portraiture category of the Sony World Photography Awards 2026.
At that moment, ash and sulfur poured from the volcano while fierce winds blew the fumes (烟雾) directly toward the pair, making it difficult even to breathe. So dangerous did the conditions become that the pair eventually had to leave the site. Rising 1,184 feet above the island, Mount Yasur has erupted continuously since at least 1774. Its frequent yet relatively moderate explosions make it one of the most accessible active volcanoes on Earth.
Born and raised at the base of this restless mountain, Philip has spent his entire life studying its behavior. Philip’s scientific journey took a new direction in 2011, when he met French volcanologist Thomas Boyer. While Boyer introduced him to scientific methods and monitoring techniques, Philip shared practical field skills and traditional knowledge he had gained since childhood.
Today, Philip works closely with researchers, guiding scientists and tourists up the volcano and helping monitor its activity. Living beside Yasur, he observes its changes daily, offering long-term knowledge that visiting scientists often lack. Such continuous observation, built through years of experience, has proved invaluable in improving scientific understanding of volcanic behavior.
Life on Tanna depends heavily on the fertile volcanic soil that supports farming and tourism. Yet natural disasters and economic challenges have reduced the number of visitors in recent years. Despite these difficulties, Philip remains devoted to the volcano and the community around it. His greatest hope is that his son John will one day receive formal training and become Tanna’s first officially trained volcanologist, carrying both scientific knowledge and local tradition into the future.
24．What can be learned about the award-winning photo?
A．It is set in a rough volcanic condition.
B．It is captured by a famous photographer.
C．It is the first photo taken of Mount Yasur.
D．It is known for its fine shooting technique.
25．What makes Philip valuable to visiting scientists?
A．His creative research methods.
B．His work in volcano tourism.
C．His formal academic training.
D．His long-term hands-on experience.
26．What is Philip’s strongest desire now?
A．To train more volcanologists.
B．To attract more tourists to Tanna island.
C．To help stop natural disasters in his hometown.
D．To pass down volcanic knowledge in a combined way.
27．What message is conveyed in Philip’s story?
A．Every coin has two sides.
B．Knowledge comes from practice.
C．Like father, like son.
D．Think twice before you act.
C（24-25高二下·湖南·期末）
How people communicate with one another varies wildly from culture to culture. In our fully globalized times, it is more essential than ever to understand these differences and where they come from. One way to obtain such an understanding is through the concept of high-context and low-context cultures, developed by Edward T. Hall.
High-context cultures use communication that focuses on underlying context, meaning, and tones in the message, and not just the words themselves. On the contrary, low-context cultures expect the content of communication to be evidently stated so that there’s no risk of confusion, and if a message isn’t clear enough, it will slow down the process of communication. In the most extreme cases, leaving any sort ofwiggle room for interpretation can be catastrophic (灾难性的).
Although it can be a complex characteristic whether a culture is high-context or low-context, it can determine many other aspects of a particular culture. For example, in a high-context culture, similarity is an crucial characteristic. This is because the majority of the population in high-context cultures typically have the same level of education, as well as a shared ethnicity, religion, and history. Through these shared experiences, messages can be contextualized by assuming an audience will think in the same way and follow the hidden message in someone’s speech or writing. In low-context cultures, the opposite is true. Low-context cultures are usually diverse, and focus on the individual, instead of the group. Communication must be basic enough to allow for as many people to understand it as possible.
Just as communication in general is different for high-context and low-context cultures, the forms of communication also vary. Generally, high-context cultures prefer oral communication, while low-context cultures favor written communication. When it comes to emails, texts, and online messaging, it is more common to send brief and frequent messages in low-context cultures. Low-context cultures also want the communication to focus on basic questions, like: What’s happening? Where’s it happening? When’s it going to happen? How’s it going to happen? High-context cultures will tend to move in the other direction, with a focus on longer forms of communication that don’t always focus on basic questions.
28．How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A．By making an assumption.
B．By analyzing the present situation.
C．By sharing the history of a theory.
D．By making a comparison.
29．What do the underlined words “wiggle room” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．The freedom to make changes.
B．The need for additional knowledge.
C．The chance to reject dialogues.
D．The desire for less confusion.
30．Why do high-context cultures possess the feature of similarity?
A．Personal interests give way to group interests.
B．Speakers seek to make themselves fully understood.
C．Individuals try to narrow differences and bridge gaps.
D．Collective experiences shape the same way of thinking.
31．How do high-context and low-context cultures differ in the forms of communication?
A．High-context cultures pursue politeness.
B．High-context cultures barely chat online.
C．Low-context cultures care about the results.
D．Low-context cultures prefer simple exchanges.
D（26-27高三上·湖北孝感·开学考试）
Astronomers have found tentative but strong evidence of a planet passing in front of a star outside the Milky Way galaxy, pointing to a major new discovery in space exploration. If proven true, this newly found object in the Whirlpool Galaxy may become the first planet ever detected outside our galaxy, greatly broadening the range of known planetary systems in the universe.
Generally, an exoplanet refers to a planet outside our solar system that moves around stars within the Milky Way. Before this discovery, all confirmed exoplanets were located within 3,000 light-years of Earth. In comparison, this new candidate planet is about 28 million light-years away, a distance far greater than that of any previously found exoplanet, which breaks the traditional limits of planetary research.
The research stands out for its new observation method. “We are trying to open up a whole new area for finding other worlds by searching for planet candidates at X-ray wavelengths, a strategy that makes it possible to discover them in other galaxies,” Rosanne Di Stefano, who led the study, said in a statement. Even so, scientists admit that it is extremely hard to finally confirm the existence of this distant planet.
“Unfortunately, to confirm that, we’re seeing a planet we would likely have to wait decades to see another transit (凌日),” co-author astrophysicist Nia Imara said in a statement. “And because of the uncertainties about how long it takes to orbit, we wouldn’t know exactly when to look, thus making accurate confirmation very difficult.”
Apart from observation difficulties, the possible planet also carries special scientific meaning. Scientists believe that if the planet exists, it must have survived a huge star explosion that formed a nearby black hole. Even though it has survived such a violent event, the planet still faces hidden dangers in the future. Its partner star may explode one day and send powerful radiation, which will seriously threaten the planet’s safety.
To improve this research, astronomers will examine large amounts of data collected by advanced space telescopes. They hope to find more planet candidates in distant galaxies. At the same time, they will continue to study star activities within the Milky Way, aiming to discover special planets in extreme space environments.
32．What can be inferred about the new extragalactic planet candidate?
A．It orbits a star identical to the sun in our solar system.
B．Its existence has been confirmed by repeated observations.
C．It is far more distant than that of all previously found exoplanets.
D．It belongs to the ready-known planetary systems in the Milky Way.
33．Why is it hard to confirm the candidate planet’s existence according to Nia Imara?
A．The absence of predictable transit timing.
B．The instability of its surrounding black hole.
C．Its extreme distance blocking cosmic signals.
D．The failure of advanced observational equipment.
34．Which of the following best reflects the researchers’ attitude toward the new finding?
A．confident and convinced
B．cautious and objective
C．doubtful and negative
D．skeptical and indifferent
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．The first confirmed planet discovered in the Whirlpool Galaxy
B．X-ray-based efforts to hunt for extragalactic planet candidates
C．A potential planet beyond our galaxy draws scientists’ attention
D．Challenges facing the research on far-away objects in the universe
七选五（25-26高二下·四川成都·期末）
William Shakespeare may have written that “all the world’s a stage”, but sadly theaters witness a decline in school visits due to budget pressures. 36
The most obvious benefit is academic. Students watching a live play outperform those seeing the same play as a film adaptation on knowledge of content and vocabulary. 37 When seeing it brought to life, they can build a thorough understanding in discussing the staging and interpretations of stage directions.
Live theater also teaches how to develop relationships. People’s heart rates synchronize (同步) in a theater audience. This is a behavior that has been shown to enhance social bonding. 38 In fact, the common heightened emotion of watching a play also teaches students that it’s ok to feel and express emotions such as sadness.
39 Schools really welcome using theater and plays to open up difficult discussions where students can explore diverse perspectives and accept others with an open mind. As a result, students are more likely to accept statements such as “I think people can have different opinions about the same thing”.
Finally, theater helps open students’ eyes up to the range of jobs available within the industry. 40 There are many backstage roles, which often don’t become obvious until you experience a live performance.
Given these significant benefits — academic, emotional, social, and occupational — schools should guarantee students never miss out on these transformative experiences.
A．Plays don’t just require actors.
B．Live theater makes class discussion intolerable.
C．The actual journey to the theater also boosts social tolerance.
D．A synchronized audience is perfect for building social tolerance.
E．The shared experience of something moving helps people connect.
F．Yet, live theater experiences remain vital for students’ development.
G．For those studying English plays, a text of a play is merely a written version.
（2026·山西太原·一模）Early in my teaching career, a mother came to my office, upset about her daughter’s first B in math. “I don’t know how she’ll 41 it,” she said, “the grade feels just like a black mark on her otherwise 42 school report.” I tried hard to explain that it was okay to earn a B in a challenging course, and that her daughter might 43 from the experience of not being perfect.

In a world full of anxiety, parenting has become much more 44 . Many parents try every means to protect their kids from any 45 . They hurry to offer 46 answers when kids struggle with homework, and even 47 emails to complain of unfairness when their kids break school rules and bear the 48 .

六、书面表达
67．（2025·广东汕头·一模）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When entering seventh grade, I was excited about many new things, but one thing really bothered me — I started getting acne (青春痘). Initially, it was just a little, but then, it seemed like overnight, my face was covered with it. I tried to hide it with my hair, but it just wouldn’t work.
I was consumed with worry that my peers would make fun of me. I couldn’t concentrate in class, as my mind was constantly preoccupied with my appearance, causing my grades to slip sharply. I started to feel inferior to my classmates and even avoid interaction with them. I tried to get rid of the acne. I washed my face multiple times a day, using all sorts of acne creams I found. I also avoided snacks that might cause it. But all ended up in vain.
One day, our school announced a sports day and the teacher asked us to form our own teams. As a sports enthusiast, I had been eagerly expecting it, but I was scared that no one would join me because of how I looked. Standing in front of the mirror, I kept imagining how my classmates would react when I asked them to team up with me. The fear of rejection held me back from approaching them.
But then, Kim came to me, “Do you want to join us for the relay race (接力赛)? I’ve seen you run before and you’ve got the speed. If you join us, we’ll have a good chance to win.” In disbelief, I managed to utter “Yes”, still feeling self-conscious but also incredibly grateful.
Along with three other classmates, I signed up for the relay race. We trained and discussed strategies together, with no one paying any attention to my acne. Thanks to my speed advantage, I was even assigned to run the final leg — the most critical role in the race.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then came the long-awaited sports day.
