I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback (内陆), hoping
to create lasting memories for the kids. My plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young
kids in the back might sound crazy to a sensible person.
For most of the journey, we often felt annoyed, arguing about the remaining distance and the discomfort in the
car. I’d had outback road trip memories as a kid and wanted my city-raised children to see the vast open spaces.
At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share
Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when
they asked me follow-up questions. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy blew my mind. At a roadside motel that
looked like a movie set, the kids loved being woken by the night trains, cheering each time.
After three days, we reached Broken Hill — a town dominated by a big slag heap (矿渣堆), just as
remarkable as I remembered. Surrounded by kilometers of mineral-rich land, its streets imply its mining roots. I
feared the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they yelled with joy, thinking it was real-life Minecraft.
The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on
Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I
set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could
ask for all along.
4. Why did the author organize the trip
A. To explore the locals’ unique lifestyle. B. To document the kids’ exposure to nature.
C. To make shared memories for the family. D. To relive the special outback experiences.
5. What does the underlined word “stumbled” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Reflected on the memories. B. Agreed with their views.
C. Argued about the stories. D. Tripped over my words.
6. What does the author think of the trip
A. It is worthwhile despite inconveniences.
B. It went in line with the author’s original plans.
C. It is an ambitious but disappointing attempt.
D. It leaves the family an unpleasant memory.
7. What key message does the author try to convey through the passage
A. Travel joy lies in overcoming challenges.
B. City-raised kids can easily adapt to the rural area.
C. The outback offers more unique sights than cities.
D. We gain unexpected insights through kids’ eyes.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. D
C
“Individuals of all ages who have empathy understand that sometimes telling little white lies can protect other
people from getting hurt,” says Barbara Greenberg, a clinical psychologist in Connecticut. “Most people that I have
come across tell these little white lies because they understand that 100 percent honesty all the time is not
beneficial.” A white lie, she explains, spares people from unnecessary hurt.
At the same time, Dr. Julia Breur, a marriage and family therapist in Florida, emphasizes the importance of
paying attention to the way we respond to someone. The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something
unpleasant on you; it’s not just about the person the white lie is being told to. For example, she says someone who
always tells others that “all is good” when it comes to a sick parent in an effort to avoid discussions about how
serious their health issue really is, can eventually face stressful experiences. When that parent eventually passes
away without a chance to plan his or her final life, the person who always gave an “all is good” response ends up
emotionally broken.
Sometimes, telling white lies often depends on the situation, Dr. Breur says. For example, consider a woman
who has not seen her mother for several months. The daughter has gained noticeable weight, yet the mother
responds by excitedly declaring that she looks great. “I emphasize during psychotherapy sessions with my patients
that context helps define meaning,” Dr. Breur says. “So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look
great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intention of the
white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love. Otherwise, white lies — especially when told to
avoid personal responsibility — can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity,”
she adds.
Therefore, it’s important to ask ourselves when it is and isn’t appropriate to deliver the honest truth, and when
it’s best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it’s about finding a balance between
the two.
8. What can be learned about white lies according to Barbara Greenberg
A. They are common. B. They are unidentifiable.
C. They are trouble-making. D. They are short-lived.
9. What does Dr. Breur want to convey by using the example in paragraph 2
A. It’s wrong to tell white lies to a seriously ill parent.
B. White lies can harm both the liars and the listeners.
C. We must respond to our family members truthfully.
D. The “all is good” response is effective in dealing with patients.
10 Which of the following white lies may Dr. Breur support
A. A student claims his homework was left at home.
B. A Dad tells his son their lost pet is living happily on a farm.
C. An employee blames traffic jam for being late.
D. A nurse says she has to work overtime so as to decline an invitation.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. East or West, White Lies Are the Best B. White Lies Signify Unconditional Love
C. Think Twice Before Telling White Lies D. Tell White Lies to Show Your Sympathy
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C
D
One of the best things that can happen to a zoo or aquarium (水族馆) is for one of their resident animals to go
viral. Just look at the long lines to see Moo Deng, a hippo in Thailand who has become an Internet hit following her
birth. Meanwhile, Pesto — a baby king penguin who was eating more fish than his parents by the time he was a
few weeks old — is also an online celebrity.
We have to admit that cute animals make money. Admission tickets are only the beginning. Many zoos and
aquariums offer special “behind the scenes” or “zookeeper for a day” packages at much higher prices. The real
product, though, is merchandise. Stuffed animals, T-shirts, fridge magnets, keychains, kids’ books and other
branded products are a major way for zoos and aquariums to make money.
But what happens when these cute animals become, well, less cute The Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium has
already been planning for the next phase of Pesto’s life and answering questions from the public about his changing
appearance. It’s normal for king penguins to lose their feathers by the time they’re about a year old and become
confident swimmers. As a result, guests have started asking why Pesto looks different — or why they can’t find
him at all.
An animal conservation group based in the UK has spoken out against zoos and aquariums making animals go
viral. “The individual animal remains in an unnatural captive environment with little or no chance of being
reintroduced into the wild.” Rather than visiting a zoo to see a “famous” wild animal, this group encourages anyone
who is interested in these animals to learn about and support the conservation of their habitats in the wild.
Using the conventionally adorable animals is a good way to get people in the door of zoos and aquariums, but
the money generated by merchandise can also pay for the habitats of many other species. “Our focus isn’t on
promoting individual animals but on sharing the incredible stories that highlight the important work we do as an
aquarium,” says the representative for Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium. “Pesto’s story resonated deeply with people
worldwide, but it’s just one example of the many heartwarming and influential tales we have to share.”
12. Which is the most profitable source of income for zoos and aquariums
A. Selling admission tickets.
B. “Zookeeper for a day” program.
C. Offering relevant sets and selling goods.
D. Making animals gain rapid popularity online.
13. What can we infer from the Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium’s plan
A. It is worried about Pesto’s health problems.
B. It will transform Pesto’s appearance.
C. It expects Pesto to continue attracting attention.
D. It will shift focus to other animals.
14. What can we know about the animal conservation group
A. It calls on the public to adopt “famous” animals.
B. It supports the protection of animals’ habitats.
C. It encourages the government to cancel zoos.
D. It suggests building aquariums in natural environments.
15. What is the representative of Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium’s attitude to promoting famous animals
A. Negative. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. C

The colourful walking trend you need to try
While a normal walk might be accompanied by distractions, from listening to music through headphones to
checking a map app for the best route, a colour walk is full of intention. ____16____ You select a colour that feels
right for you at the beginning of your walk, and then seek to notice that chosen colour when you’re on the move.
Different from a normal walk, it’s the meditative aspect of a colour walk that’s so powerful. Even while
walking, we may still experience negative thought patterns or worries about the day. However, when we set an
intention to focus on something specific, and, in this case, a colour, we automatically root ourselves in the present
moment. ____17____
Well, how do you get started Before you decide to go out on your walk, you may like to wear your colour of
choice. Then, as you take your first steps outside, start to notice it. ____18____ Sometimes, it might not stand out
as much, so you’ll have to keep an eye out for it.
Feeling blue The colour pink seems to be helpful. ____19____ Of course, you may match your colour with
how you are feeling, or how you want to feel, that day. One route allows you to accept and connect to your
emotions, and the other is a means of taking control of them.
____20____ Just let the time of year guide your walk, such as green with spring, red with summer, golden
with autumn, and white with winter.
A. So, how does it work
B. What are the benefits of a colour walk
C. That colour may be striking and easy to spot.
D. Many people find it both comforting and uplifting.
E. In this way we will come away from the inner chatter.
F. Besides, you can pick out a colour that matches the season.
G. From silent walking to soft hiking, walking trends are on the up.

People always assume noise is a problem unique to animals, because many animals depend on sound to find

Say No to Online Rumors
Online rumors are like hidden poison in the digital world. They can damage people’s reputations overnight
and even cause social panic. For instance, false news online especially some rude remarks may lead to mental
issues.
To fight against online rumors, we should take action. First, we must check the facts before sharing any
information online. Second, if we find rumors, we should report them to the platform immediately instead of
spreading them. Finally, schools can organize lectures to teach students how to distinguish true news from false
ones.
Let’s work together to create a clean online environment.

The girls sat under their sign in the park, which read “Decorate Your Bike Here!” Park managers had set up a
Bike Parade. Bella and Mia planned to earn money by decorating kids’ bikes for the event.
Mia’s dad, an inventor, had given them a basket of bells, whistles, gadgets (小配件) and spare parts. Bella,
who loves painting, brought paints, brushes, stickers, feathers and other decorations. They had already decorated a
few bikes, but Bella felt frustrated.
“Your mechanical things are better,” Bella grumbled to Mia, watching her friend easily assemble the parts of a
fancy bell. She held up her own works — colorful flags and a dragon-painted horn — and sighed, wishing they
had more use. “The horn sounds like an annoying goose, not a dragon!” she complained. Mia laughed out loud,
truly delighted by the funny sound, and confidently told Bella the customer would find it charming.
Just then, Bella looked at the bike bell she’d been trying to assemble. “See Every mechanical thing I try fails!”
she murmured. Mia leaned over to offer suggestions. Bella tried again, but the pieces still wouldn’t work. Her
frustration grew. “I don’t know what I’m doing!” she cried, throwing the bell onto the grass and sitting back beside
it, defeated. “Try again, Bella! You can do this,” Mia encouraged gently. Bella kept her eyes shut, hoping no
customers would come and pretending she wasn’t a total failure.
But soon a shadow blocked her sun. Her brother Leo and his friend Izzy stood there. “Your bikes need
decorating!” Mia announced before Bella could speak. “That’s why we’re here!” Izzy smiled. Bella’s mouth fell
open in surprise, but she quickly closed it, afraid to look silly.
After discussing ideas, Mia sent the boys away. She grabbed Bella’s arm and said, “We’ll make these the
coolest bikes. You do Izzy’s, and I’ll do Leo’s. Come on!”

【答案】范文
“I can’t!” Bella frowned, her heart sinking. She pictured Izzy’s disappointed face if the bike turned out messy.
Mia patted her gently, “Focus on what you do best: art!” Bella hesitated, and then picked up her brush. Slowly, her
worries faded as she turned Izzy’s bike into a masterpiece, sticking stickers and weaving feathers to create a
dragon-themed design. Meanwhile, Mia worked quickly on Leo’s bike, attaching bells on a handlebar. Kids nearby
even stopped to watch, pointing at the bikes with wonder. Satisfied, the girls stepped back to admire their work,
eager for Leo and Izzy’s reaction.
When Leo and Izzy returned, their eyes widened. Izzy gasped, “It’s like a fire-breathing beast!” His bike shone
with Bella’s art: a fierce dragon horn and feathers fluttering in the wind. Leo’s bike was full of Mia’s gadgets — a
whistle and LED lights. “This is totally new and awesome!” Leo exclaimed, jumping on the bike. Bella smiled
brightly, her earlier frustration gone. Mia winked, “Told you. Together, we make the perfect team.” As the boys
rode off, Bella felt a warm sense of pride. She knew her skills had decorated more than just bikes—they’d brought
joy to others.哈九中 2025—2026 学年度高三下学期

I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback (内陆), hoping
to create lasting memories for the kids. My plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young
kids in the back might sound crazy to a sensible person.
For most of the journey, we often felt annoyed, arguing about the remaining distance and the discomfort in the
car. I’d had outback road trip memories as a kid and wanted my city-raised children to see the vast open spaces.
At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share
Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when
they asked me follow-up questions. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy blew my mind. At a roadside motel that
looked like a movie set, the kids loved being woken by the night trains, cheering each time.
After three days, we reached Broken Hill — a town dominated by a big slag heap (矿渣堆), just as
remarkable as I remembered. Surrounded by kilometers of mineral-rich land, its streets imply its mining roots. I
feared the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they yelled with joy, thinking it was real-life Minecraft.
The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on
Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I
set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could
ask for all along.
4. Why did the author organize the trip
A. To explore the locals’ unique lifestyle. B. To document the kids’ exposure to nature.
C. To make shared memories for the family. D. To relive the special outback experiences.
5. What does the underlined word “stumbled” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Reflected on the memories. B. Agreed with their views.
C. Argued about the stories. D. Tripped over my words.
6. What does the author think of the trip
A. It is worthwhile despite inconveniences.
B. It went in line with the author’s original plans.
C. It is an ambitious but disappointing attempt.
D. It leaves the family an unpleasant memory.
7. What key message does the author try to convey through the passage
A. Travel joy lies in overcoming challenges.
B. City-raised kids can easily adapt to the rural area.
C. The outback offers more unique sights than cities.
D. We gain unexpected insights through kids’ eyes.
C
“Individuals of all ages who have empathy understand that sometimes telling little white lies can protect other
people from getting hurt,” says Barbara Greenberg, a clinical psychologist in Connecticut. “Most people that I have
come across tell these little white lies because they understand that 100 percent honesty all the time is not
beneficial.” A white lie, she explains, spares people from unnecessary hurt.
At the same time, Dr. Julia Breur, a marriage and family therapist in Florida, emphasizes the importance of
paying attention to the way we respond to someone. The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something
unpleasant on you; it’s not just about the person the white lie is being told to. For example, she says someone who
always tells others that “all is good” when it comes to a sick parent in an effort to avoid discussions about how
serious their health issue really is, can eventually face stressful experiences. When that parent eventually passes
away without a chance to plan his or her final life, the person who always gave an “all is good” response ends up
emotionally broken.
Sometimes, telling white lies often depends on the situation, Dr. Breur says. For example, consider a woman
who has not seen her mother for several months. The daughter has gained noticeable weight, yet the mother
responds by excitedly declaring that she looks great. “I emphasize during psychotherapy sessions with my patients
that context helps define meaning,” Dr. Breur says. “So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look
great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intention of the
white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love. Otherwise, white lies — especially when told to
avoid personal responsibility — can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity,”
she adds.
Therefore, it’s important to ask ourselves when it is and isn’t appropriate to deliver the honest truth, and when
it’s best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it’s about finding a balance between
the two.
8. What can be learned about white lies according to Barbara Greenberg
A. They are common. B. They are unidentifiable.
C. They are trouble-making. D. They are short-lived.
9. What does Dr. Breur want to convey by using the example in paragraph 2
A. It’s wrong to tell white lies to a seriously ill parent.
B. White lies can harm both the liars and the listeners.
C. We must respond to our family members truthfully.
D. The “all is good” response is effective in dealing with patients.
10 Which of the following white lies may Dr. Breur support
A. A student claims his homework was left at home.
B. A Dad tells his son their lost pet is living happily on a farm.
C. An employee blames traffic jam for being late.
D. A nurse says she has to work overtime so as to decline an invitation.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. East or West, White Lies Are the Best B. White Lies Signify Unconditional Love
C. Think Twice Before Telling White Lies D. Tell White Lies to Show Your Sympathy
D
One of the best things that can happen to a zoo or aquarium (水族馆) is for one of their resident animals to go
viral. Just look at the long lines to see Moo Deng, a hippo in Thailand who has become an Internet hit following her
birth. Meanwhile, Pesto — a baby king penguin who was eating more fish than his parents by the time he was a
few weeks old — is also an online celebrity.
We have to admit that cute animals make money. Admission tickets are only the beginning. Many zoos and
aquariums offer special “behind the scenes” or “zookeeper for a day” packages at much higher prices. The real
product, though, is merchandise. Stuffed animals, T-shirts, fridge magnets, keychains, kids’ books and other
branded products are a major way for zoos and aquariums to make money.
But what happens when these cute animals become, well, less cute The Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium has
already been planning for the next phase of Pesto’s life and answering questions from the public about his changing
appearance. It’s normal for king penguins to lose their feathers by the time they’re about a year old and become
confident swimmers. As a result, guests have started asking why Pesto looks different — or why they can’t find
him at all.
An animal conservation group based in the UK has spoken out against zoos and aquariums making animals go
viral. “The individual animal remains in an unnatural captive environment with little or no chance of being
reintroduced into the wild.” Rather than visiting a zoo to see a “famous” wild animal, this group encourages anyone
who is interested in these animals to learn about and support the conservation of their habitats in the wild.
Using the conventionally adorable animals is a good way to get people in the door of zoos and aquariums, but
the money generated by merchandise can also pay for the habitats of many other species. “Our focus isn’t on
promoting individual animals but on sharing the incredible stories that highlight the important work we do as an
aquarium,” says the representative for Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium. “Pesto’s story resonated deeply with people
worldwide, but it’s just one example of the many heartwarming and influential tales we have to share.”
12. Which is the most profitable source of income for zoos and aquariums
A. Selling admission tickets.
B. “Zookeeper for a day” program.
C. Offering relevant sets and selling goods.
D. Making animals gain rapid popularity online.
13. What can we infer from the Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium’s plan
A. It is worried about Pesto’s health problems.
B. It will transform Pesto’s appearance.
C. It expects Pesto to continue attracting attention.
D. It will shift focus to other animals.
14. What can we know about the animal conservation group
A. It calls on the public to adopt “famous” animals.
B. It supports the protection of animals’ habitats.
C. It encourages the government to cancel zoos.
D. It suggests building aquariums in natural environments.
15. What is the representative of Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium’s attitude to promoting famous animals
A. Negative. B. Indifferent. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.

The colourful walking trend you need to try
While a normal walk might be accompanied by distractions, from listening to music through headphones to
checking a map app for the best route, a colour walk is full of intention. ____16____ You select a colour that feels
right for you at the beginning of your walk, and then seek to notice that chosen colour when you’re on the move.
Different from a normal walk, it’s the meditative aspect of a colour walk that’s so powerful. Even while
walking, we may still experience negative thought patterns or worries about the day. However, when we set an
intention to focus on something specific, and, in this case, a colour, we automatically root ourselves in the present
moment. ____17____
Well, how do you get started Before you decide to go out on your walk, you may like to wear your colour of
choice. Then, as you take your first steps outside, start to notice it. ____18____ Sometimes, it might not stand out
as much, so you’ll have to keep an eye out for it.
Feeling blue The colour pink seems to be helpful. ____19____ Of course, you may match your colour with
how you are feeling, or how you want to feel, that day. One route allows you to accept and connect to your
emotions, and the other is a means of taking control of them.
____20____ Just let the time of year guide your walk, such as green with spring, red with summer, golden
with autumn, and white with winter.
A. So, how does it work
B. What are the benefits of a colour walk
C. That colour may be striking and easy to spot.
D. Many people find it both comforting and uplifting.
E. In this way we will come away from the inner chatter.
F. Besides, you can pick out a colour that matches the season.
G. From silent walking to soft hiking, walking trends are on the up.

tree!” Suddenly, I ____26____ the garden wasn’t just the owner’s, but a living legacy built ____27____ by the love
and labour of previous renters. My bitterness ____28____. I decided I needed to have more ____29____ for
previous gardeners’ decision-making. I only removed plants after researching what they were and why they might
be intentional. Gardening became a(n) ____30____ learning experience.
I learned from the garden itself, books, family and friends who helped me identify many plants. This
____31____ of discovery is like watching my son learn to read: a moment when the world ____32____ and speaks

People always assume noise is a problem unique to animals, because many animals depend on sound to find
food, detect hunters and communicate with one another, ____36____ that this sound-related stress is a phenomenon
entirely absent from the non-living-feeling plant kingdom. But ____37____ new study by Ali Akbar
Ghotbi-Ravandi, a botanist at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, reveals that plants suffer too.
Working with a team of workmates, Dr Ghotbi-Ravandi grew two species in his lab that are ____38____
(common) found in urban environment — French marigolds and scarlet sage. None of the plants exposed to the
traffic noise did well. Study of their leaves revealed that they were suffering. The chemical compounds

47. 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。
The girls sat under their sign in the park, which read “Decorate Your Bike Here!” Park managers had set up a
Bike Parade. Bella and Mia planned to earn money by decorating kids’ bikes for the event.
Mia’s dad, an inventor, had given them a basket of bells, whistles, gadgets (小配件) and spare parts. Bella,
who loves painting, brought paints, brushes, stickers, feathers and other decorations. They had already decorated a
few bikes, but Bella felt frustrated.
“Your mechanical things are better,” Bella grumbled to Mia, watching her friend easily assemble the parts of a
fancy bell. She held up her own works — colorful flags and a dragon-painted horn — and sighed, wishing they
had more use. “The horn sounds like an annoying goose, not a dragon!” she complained. Mia laughed out loud,
truly delighted by the funny sound, and confidently told Bella the customer would find it charming.
Just then, Bella looked at the bike bell she’d been trying to assemble. “See Every mechanical thing I try fails!”
she murmured. Mia leaned over to offer suggestions. Bella tried again, but the pieces still wouldn’t work. Her
frustration grew. “I don’t know what I’m doing!” she cried, throwing the bell onto the grass and sitting back beside
it, defeated. “Try again, Bella! You can do this,” Mia encouraged gently. Bella kept her eyes shut, hoping no
customers would come and pretending she wasn’t a total failure.
But soon a shadow blocked her sun. Her brother Leo and his friend Izzy stood there. “Your bikes need
decorating!” Mia announced before Bella could speak. “That’s why we’re here!” Izzy smiled. Bella’s mouth fell
open in surprise, but she quickly closed it, afraid to look silly.
After discussing ideas, Mia sent the boys away. She grabbed Bella’s arm and said, “We’ll make these the
coolest bikes. You do Izzy’s, and I’ll do Leo’s. Come on!”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 个左右;
