Researchers conducted structured interviews with actual patients, testing their reactions to current and future AI technologies. Then they. polled 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups using a blinded, randomized survey. Overall, participants were almost evenly split, with more than 52% choosing human doctors as a preference versus approximately 47% choosing an AI diagnostic method. If study participants were informed their primary care physicians felt AI was superior, the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased. This signaled the significance of the human physician in guiding a patient’s decision. Disease severity didn’t affect participants’ trust in AI. Compared to White participants, Black ones selected AI less often and Native Americans more often. Older participants were less likely to choose it, as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest differing groups will need specific attention as to informing them as to the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. “I feel this study will guide many future studies and clinical translational decisions even now,” Dr. Slepian said. “The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they will play an increasing role in the future of health care.” 8．What can be inferred from Dr. Slepian’s words in Paragraph 2? A．Most patients are still doubtful about AI medical treatment. B．Human physicians can do a lot to promote AI medical treatment. C．The unacceptance of AI is mainly due to the inaccuracy of information. D．The reality that patients choose human doctors limits the development of AI. 9．What’s the key factor in increasing participants’ preference for AI treatment? A．The gravity of the disease. B．The guidance of the physician. C．The superiority of AI system. D．The personal background of the participant. 10．What does the underlined word “onus” in the last paragraph mean? A．Responsibility. B．Attempt. C．Dependence. D．Focus. 11．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Trust in AI: A Split among Patients. B．Bridging the Gap: Human Doctors and AI. C．An Important Study: The Future of AI Systems. D．Improving Diagnostic Accuracy: The Role of AI. 2.（江苏省南通市海安市2024-2025学年高三上学期开学） Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. As a writer who declared the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, Thoreau was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines such as steam engines. Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Let me try updating Thoreau’s message with a couple 21st-century examples. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 12．Which statement would Thoreau probably agree with? A．Technology holds back our ambition. B．Technology is key to a meaningful life. C．Simplicity is possible in a tech-driven world. D．Simplicity is outdated in modern times. 13．What was the primary reason for Thoreau’s withdrawing from city life? A．To escape the harsh economic conditions of his time. B．To throw himself into the completion of his masterpiece. C．To experience a new and exciting lifestyle away from technology. D．To find a quieter existence that allows for deeper reflection and purpose. 14．What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A．Theoretical models. B．Popular beliefs. C．Practical measures. D．Realistic analyses. 15．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To criticize the overuse of 21st-century modern technology. B．To illustrate Thoreau’s ideas on simple living in the modern context. C．To explore the role of technology in shaping contemporary lifestyles. D．To examine the effects of reduced social media use on personal well-being. 3.（2025·江苏省淮安市高三开学考试） A new study has found that experiencing nature, such as taking a walk in a park or even just viewing photos of a natural setting, encourages healthier food choices. “We found that exposure to nature increases the importance that people attach to health compared to taste or other properties when making food choices,” explained Maria Langlois, assistant professor at Southern Methodist University and first author of the study. Gathering evidence from hundreds of participants from five different studies across three countries over seven years, Langlois examined the food choices made after both real-world and virtual experiences of nature. In the first study conducted in France, participants took a twenty-minute long walk through either a large green park or the city, taking photos along the way. Afterwards, they could choose what they wanted to eat from a snack buffet. Those who walked in nature ate healthier snacks compared to the urban city walkers. But was it the nature or the photo that did the trick? The researchers moved online, and took on more participants. One group were shown a photo of a hotel room with a window view of a natural setting while the other group had a window view of an urban setting. A third control group had no window view — they had closed curtains. Those exposed to “nature” in this way were found to make healthier food choices compared to both the control and urban groups. “By including a control condition in our work, this research shows that it is not exposure to urban environments that is driving unhealthy food choices, but really exposure to natural environments that is driving healthier food choices,” said Langlois. With almost 70% of the world’s population expected to live in urbanized areas by 2050, this research could provide urban planners important insight into the health implications of their designs. It is also hoped that highlighting benefits of nature may promote environmental conservation efforts as people realize, we need nature. 8．What is Maria Langlois’s study mainly about? A．The impact of nature on physical exercise. B．The influence of nature on food choices. C．The effect of urban environments on health. D．The comparison of real and virtual experiences. 9．What can we know from the 7-year study? A．Participants used to take a walk after meals. B．Participants walked 20 minutes daily before meals. C．Participants chose healthy food after walking in nature. D．Participants had fewer food choices when walking in the city. 10．How did the researchers mainly conduct the further study in paragraph 4? A．By giving reasons. B．By doing interviews. C．By taking quotations. D．By making classifications. 11．What would urban planners do for future cities? A．To build more parks. B．To dig more tunnels. C．To widen the lanes. D．To construct high-rise buildings. 4.（2025·江苏省部分学校高三上学期期初调研模拟测试） The expression “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration (汗水)” is often attributed to Thomas Edison. But as we have progressed into the 21st century, I think we should update the saying: “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% preparation.” Indeed, ideas are shooting around faster than ever, but most are worthless because no one does the hard work to implement them. And as we’re in a service economy now, implementation requires hours and hours not of sweat but of preparation. You must do it all: reading, researching, falling into one rabbit hole after another on the Internet to find the right series of test cases and quotes to make your point, and presenting your idea briefly and clearly. Preparation is everything! Watch the amazing 2021 video of the Perseverance rover landing on the surface of Mars. The onboard camera shows the terrain (地形). After the landing, I’m pretty sure one of the scientists exclaims, “Hey, that’s my rock.” In mission preparation, the entire landing area was digitized. The planners knew the placement of every rock and dip in terrain. Churchill famously memorized his speeches and practiced giving them over and over in his bathtub. Some of this was to overcome his stutter (口吃), but it was mainly to get the tone just right. Nothing was off-the-cuff (即兴的). His speeches didn’t sound like they were read from a piece of paper; they felt stream of consciousness. In his finest hours he showed the value of preparation. But, you may ask, why put in any extra effort? ChatGPT can pass Advanced Placement tests, entry exams for law and medical school, and even the bar exam. That probably says more about how poor those tests are than about AI’s ability. But even though AI can answer almost any question you throw at it, it is worthless in an elevator when your boss asks you what you think about new product ideas or sales prospects in Omaha. The only answer comes from that 99% preparation. Study everything, not only the task you’ve been assigned. Dig deep. Come up with ideas and potential solutions. Work on an elevator speech for what excites you. Don’t wing it. Prepare. And trust me, the feeling you get from preparation-induced success is better than anything you can buy at a drugstore. Preparation will make you super great. 12．What can we learn from paragraph 2? A．The service economy makes ideas worthless. B．Implementation does not take much time these days. C．Ideas are worthless without preparation and hard work. D．Implementation requires more inspiration than preparation. 13．How does the author try to persuade readers to accept his argument? A．By listing examples. B．By sharing his experience. C．By providing research results. D．By referring to experts’ words. 14．What point is the author trying to make by mentioning ChatGPT? A．ChatGPT is capable of passing various tests. B．Preparation can help you perform better than AI. C．Elevator conversations require high social skills. D．Standard tests do not fully represent one’s abilities. 15．What does the text mainly talk about? A．How we can achieve success with little sweat. B．How we should make preparation for our future. C．Why perspiration still maters in the 21st century. D．Why preparation can pave the way to your success. 5.（2025·江苏省盐城市五校联考高三上学期10月月考） The scene in the stands at Roland Garros’s Court Philippe-Chatrier was dotted with red banners, adding a glow to the already orange y air spreading the red clay court. There were hundreds of Chinese waving flags to support Qinwen Zheng, 21, who would soon take gold by defeating Croatia’s Donna Vedic in the women’s singles tennis final. As she lay down on the dirt, eyes skyward and fists extended into the Paris haze, the win’s gravity seemed to register: This was China’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in this sport. When talking about the Olympics, Zheng said, “I treated the Games differently — the emotion, the fight, the mentality. If you asked me to stay three more hours to fight, I could do it.” Born in 2002, Zheng started playing tennis at age seven. At age eight, she moved alone for better coaching. Since adolescence, she has deeply admired Chinese athletes, such as the tennis star Li Na, who joined the 2008 Beijing Games, and the runner Liu Xiang, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games. “It was really tough,” Zheng said, looking back at those early days. “My mom used to come visit on weekends. When she left, I would hold her leg and cry. After 13, she decided to stay with me full-time to let me have better growth and care. After that, it got easier. And we moved to Europe when I was 17.” In Paris, Zheng performed exceptionally well on her road to gold, including toppling world number one Iga Swiatek. “With Iga, I was clear,” Zheng said. “I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn’t think like this.” Zheng is conscious, too, of the effects that her milestone achievement in Paris will have. As we wrapped up our chat, she said, softly: “I was reading comments last night and some of them were talking about inspiration, and this makes me feel proud. If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make me happy.” 24．According to the passage, which is TRUE about Qinwen Zheng? A．She considered all tennis games to be equally important. B．She felt confident to live alone at her early days of training. C．She secured the first Chinese Olympic tennis championship. D．As a teenager, she wanted to go beyond other Chinese athletes. 25．What does the underlined word “toppling” in the 6th paragraph mean? A．Challenging. B．Defeating. C．Discouraging. D．Declining. 26．Which words can best describe Qinwen Zheng? A．Competent and idealistic. B．Creative and independent. C．Sincere and ambitious. D．Strong-willed and reflective. 27．What can we infer from Qinwen Zheng’s words in the last paragraph? A．She feels delighted to read numerous comments on her match. B．She expects her achievement to motivate more people. C．She takes pride in attaining the Olympic gold medal. D．She hopes that her achievement will earn her fame. 6.（2025·江苏省苏州高三上学期期初学业质量阳光指标调研） In 2013, two years into her doctoral studies on forensic (法医的) jewelry, Maria Malennan found herself in a hospital in Namibia, helping identify the victims of a plane crash that had killed everyone on board. It was the first time she had put her theoretical skills into practice, examining pieces of jewelry found in the ruins and using her knowledge of designs, materials and the industry to provide investigators with leads. “Being a forensic jeweler is not really a job that actually exists,” Dr. Maclennan, 35, said during a recent interview at her office in Edinburgh. “In some ways, it’s something I’ve made up and am still making up as I go. ” Since then she has helped identify the victims of many catastrophes, including building collapses, natural disasters and a terrorist attack. And while the situations can be miserable — sometimes, she said, the jewelry was all but fused (熔合) into human remains — she has approached the job as a professional: “You’re wearing your forensic gloves and it’s all very methodical and detached (不带感情的) from the person, the human being.” But there is a part of the process that she finds emotionally difficult. “It’s at the end, the returning, when you give the belongings back to the family, which really strikes me,” she said. “You look at the piece as a sort of a representation of the individual. Especially, I think, in the absence of the human body.” Dr. Maclennan now is a member of a disaster victim identification team for Blake Emergency Services, based in Cheshire, England. “Maria is the only one who does what she does,” said Carole Davenport, the archaeology manager at Blake. “She’s at the forefront of a field that she invented. She took the skills she learned as a jeweler and she applied this to the forensics world. Jewelry can be particular to areas, and there are certain unique things about jewelry that can help you almost read life of a person. That’s what Maria does.” 24．What did Maclennan apply her jewelry knowledge to? A．Furthering her doctoral studies. B．Designing custom-made jewelry. C．Recognizing the identities of victims. D．Reforming forensic jewelry industry. 25．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．What Maclennan does as a forensic jeweler. B．When forensic jewelry came into existence. C．Why Maclennan chose to be a forensic jeweler. D．How forensic jewelers are viewed by the public. 26．How does Maclennan feel while returning victims’ belongings? A．She is hardly affected as it is a routine for her. B．She feels sorry for what she has done to the victims. C．She is relieved that the process brings comfort to the families. D．She feels sad as she has deep empathy for the victims’ families. 27．How does Davenport describe Maclennan in the last paragraph? A．Firm and ambitious. B．Innovative and competent. C．Intelligent and generous. D．Sensitive and responsible. 7.（2025·江苏省如皋中学高三考试） One by one, prejudices are disappearing in the West. People may hold private suspicions that other people’s race or sex makes them inferior — but to say so openly is totally taboo (禁忌). One old prejudice remains undisturbed, though. Just ask a childless person. They are not charged to special taxes, as they were in Soviet Russia; nor are they driven from their homes, as they still are in some poor countries. The childless nonetheless come in for a lot of criticism. Some point out that non-parents are failing to produce the future workers who will pay for their pensions. Childless politicians are charged with not having a proper stake in society. “He talks to us about the future, but he doesn’t have children!” complained Jean-Marie Le Pen, co-founder of the National Front party, of Emmanuel Macron, who went on to win the French presidency. Similar attacks on Theresa May and Angela Merkel also failed but researchers find that many voters quietly agree. If non-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way of showing it. They are more likely to set up charitable foundations than people with children, and much more likely to donate money to good causes. According to one American estimate, the mere fact of not having children raises the amount a person leaves to charity by a little over $10,000. The childless are thus a small but useful counterweight to the world’s parents, who stop social stability by passing on their social and economic advantages to their children. The charge that childless people fail to pull their weight in population is correct, but is less serious than it appears. Those who do not have children do put pressure on public pension systems. Governments have to do unpopular things like making pensions less generous, as Japan has done, or accepting more immigrants, as some Western countries have done. But to sustain public pensions in the long term, countries do not actually need more parents. What they need instead is more babies. It is possible to combine a high rate of childlessness with a high birth rate, provided people who become parents have more than one or two children. That was the pattern in many Western countries a century ago. Ireland, yet another country with a childless leader, still manages it today. The childless also do everyone else a favor by creating wonderful works of art. British novelists have been especially likely to have no offspring: think of Hilary Mantel, P.G Wodehouse and the Bronte sisters. In September last year Britain put Jane Austen on its ten-pound note. That decision was controversial, though it was hard to see why. Few people have written as shrewdly about money or about families even though Austen did not marry, and had no children. 28．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．The childless often come under sharp criticism. B．Childlessness is to future workers’ disadvantage. C．Many highly successful people have no children D．The childless politicians get attacked in society. 29．The childless are prejudiced because people think the childless ______. A．have a strange way to show selfishness B．set a bad example for young people C．are not as generous as those with children D．are the government’s financial burden 30．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Accepting more immigrants. B．Reducing the pensions for the aged. C．Encouraging parents to have more children. D．Supporting the political leaders with no children. 31．What is the best title for the passage? A．In defense of the childless. B．Prejudice against non-breeders. C．Why don’t they have children? D．Measures to address childlessness. 8.（2025·江苏省南通市名校联盟高三上学期八月模拟演练性月考） We go through life assuming we’re in charge of our own minds — until temptation (诱惑) strikes. Few things better illustrate how little control we really have. You can know exactly what you should do (decline the second slice of cake or the third cocktail), but that hardly seems to matter when the urge arises. More self-discipline is rarely the answer, though. Instead, if you can understand what’s going on inside your head when temptation comes, you’ll be far better placed to make a healthier choice. Sometimes, you need to push yourself, the idea behind which, in psychology, is to make the better choice the easier choice. (School pupils eat more healthily, it’s been shown, when the salads are within easier reach than the chips.) So, instead of relying on willpower, stop keeping ice creams in your freezer! Use StayFocused or similar apps to block distracting websites. Change your environment, and temptation will be a non-issue. For every person, behind every bad habit, there's a reasonable desire: some people eat or drink too much because they're lonely, or smoke to get a break from a busy schedule. Once you’ve uncovered this underlying need, find a different way to meet it: call a friend; take a coffee break instead of a cigarette break. There’s nothing wrong with the need — only with the way you’re currently meeting it. It’s a strange truth that we’ll break all sorts of promises to ourselves — yet most of us would never fail to show up at a prearranged meeting with a friend. Involve others in your temptation-resistance efforts, whether it's asking someone to check in weekly to see if you’re sticking to your plan, or never going shopping alone if you’re subject to impulse purchases. Best of all, launch a joint plan, in which two of you decide to give up a bad habit. That turns a challenge into a fun game. 24．What does “that” mean in paragraph 1? A．Temptation. B．Self-awareness. C．Choice. D．Self-motivation. 25．Which should be a good choice if you feel worn out from a packed timetable? A．Exercise strong willpower over it. B．Keep ice creams within easy reach. C．Use StayFocused to refresh yourself. D．Chat with a friend over a cup of coffee. 26．What does the author suggest you do according to paragraph 4? A．Seek partners’ support. B．Leave challenges behind. C．Keep your promises. D．Say no to playing games. 27．What is the text mainly about? A．What causes temptation. B．How to keep temptation at bay. C．Why urges set in. D．How to keep life under control. 9.（2025·江苏省连云港市部分学校高三上学期开学摸底） In today’s digital age, social media has become an integral part of people’s lives. However, it has also brought about a new problem—cyberbullying, which refers to the act of sending or posting harmful or cruel messages online. Recently, a famous singer, Lily, has been a victim of cyberbullying. Some people left mean comments on her social media posts, saying that her singing skills were poor and that she didn’t deserve her success. These negative comments not only hurt Lily’s feelings but also affected her performance and mental health. Lily’s fans were very angry about this and decided to take action. They started a campaign to support Lily and report those who left malicious comments. They also tried to raise awareness about the harm of cyberbullying, hoping that more people would understand the importance of being kind and respectful online. 4．The passage tries to highlight the problem of ______. A．social media addiction B．privacy leakage on the Internet C．cyberbullying against celebrities D．the spread of false information 5．What did the fans do to support Lily? A．They started a campaign for her. B．They reported the malicious comments. C．They raised awareness. D．All of the above. 6．What can we infer from the passage? A．Cyberbullying only happens to famous people. B．Cyberbullying can have a serious impact on the victim. C．People who leave mean comments online are usually jealous. D．There is no way to stop cyberbullying. 7．The word “malicious” in the passage probably means _____. A．kind and friendly B．having no meaning C．intended to harm or cause damage D．funny and interesting 10.（2025·江苏省连云港市部分学校高三上学期开学摸底） When my two boys have free time, they want to go to the mall. No, they aren’t shop-a-holics (购物狂). They want to go to gaze at sneakers. These aren’t the sneakers you find in Foot Locker. They are limited editions—usually Nikes—that range in price from $250-$900 or more. There’s the Chunky Dunkys, a collaboration between Nike and ice cream maker Ben and Jerry’s. And the Space Jam Jordans. And dozens of other pairs of shoes, all of which they know by name and all of which are very, very expensive. That made me wonder: How did this sneaker culture develop? After all, when I was a kid, I wanted Jordan brand shoes too. But they cost $100 and I would wear them until they fell apart. Now, my boys long for shoes that cost ten times that and if they got them, they would never even think of scuffing them up by wearing them. It all started during the Industrial Revolution, when the very wealthy began to find they had leisure time on their hands, Elizabeth Semmelhack, who runs the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, told me. “These’ nouveau riche (暴发户)’ industrialists wanted to show that they had arrived. And so, the ancient game of tennis was revived.” explained Semmelhack, “But the problem with lawn tennis—one, the lawns of lawn tennis are extremely expensive, so they didn’t want people to run around in leather shoes. And two, when you play on lawn, you can get your feet wet. So rubber soled shoes, the sneaker, was invented as something that the wealthy could wear as they pursued these wealthy pleasures. Besides, rubber was, at the time, quite expensive, so having shoes with rubber soles was seen as a status symbol.” But for most of us, sneakers were something you wore—not something you collected. With the development of internet, older versions of shoes could be purchased and collected. And sneaker companies, Nike especially, leaned into the trend. 12．What is the Chunky Dunkys? A．It’s a company’s name. B．It’s a kind of ice cream. C．It’s a kind of limited edition sneaker. D．It’s one of the author’s kids’ name. 13．Why did the author mention his experience as a kid? A．To show he was poor when he was a kid. B．To encourage his children to wear cheap shoes. C．To give an example about the development of sneaker culture. D．To show Jordan brand shoes have been popular for a long time. 14．What can we know from Semmelhack’s words? A．Rubber soled shoes could prevent feet from wetting. B．These ‘nouveau riche’ industrialists created lawn tennis. C．Leather shoes were more expensive than rubber soled shoes. D．The very wealthy were busy with their work during Industrial Revolution. 15．What is the author’s attitude towards collecting sneakers? A．Objective. B．Critical. C．Favourable. D．Unconcerned.

Researchers conducted structured interviews with actual patients, testing their reactions to current and future AI technologies. Then they. polled 2,472 participants across diverse ethnic, racial and socioeconomic groups using a blinded, randomized survey. Overall, participants were almost evenly split, with more than 52% choosing human doctors as a preference versus approximately 47% choosing an AI diagnostic method. If study participants were informed their primary care physicians felt AI was superior, the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased. This signaled the significance of the human physician in guiding a patient’s decision. Disease severity didn’t affect participants’ trust in AI. Compared to White participants, Black ones selected AI less often and Native Americans more often. Older participants were less likely to choose it, as were those who self-identified as politically conservative. These findings suggest differing groups will need specific attention as to informing them as to the value and usefulness of AI to enhance diagnoses. “I feel this study will guide many future studies and clinical translational decisions even now,” Dr. Slepian said. “The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they will play an increasing role in the future of health care.” 8．What can be inferred from Dr. Slepian’s words in Paragraph 2? A．Most patients are still doubtful about AI medical treatment. B．Human physicians can do a lot to promote AI medical treatment. C．The unacceptance of AI is mainly due to the inaccuracy of information. D．The reality that patients choose human doctors limits the development of AI. 9．What’s the key factor in increasing participants’ preference for AI treatment? A．The gravity of the disease. B．The guidance of the physician. C．The superiority of AI system. D．The personal background of the participant. 10．What does the underlined word “onus” in the last paragraph mean? A．Responsibility. B．Attempt. C．Dependence. D．Focus. 11．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Trust in AI: A Split among Patients. B．Bridging the Gap: Human Doctors and AI. C．An Important Study: The Future of AI Systems. D．Improving Diagnostic Accuracy: The Role of AI. 【答案】8．B 9．B 10．A 11．B 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了患者对AI医疗的信任问题，并指出患者在选择AI和人类医生时存在分歧。 8．推理判断题。根据文章第二段““While many patients appear resistant to the use of AI, accuracy of information and a slight push from physicians may help increase acceptance,” Dr. Slepian mentioned the study’s other primary finding: that a human touch can help clinical practices use AI to their advantage and earn patients’ trust. “To ensure the benefits of AI are secured in clinical practice, future research on best methods of physician involvement and patient decision making is required.”(“虽然许多患者似乎对人工智能的使用持抵制态度,但信息的准确性和医生的轻微推动可能有助于提高接受 度，“Slepian博士提到了该研究的另一个主要发现:人性化的接触可以帮助临床实践利用人工智能并赢得患者的信任。”为了确保人工智能的好处在临床实践中得到保障,需要对医生参与和患者决策的最佳方法进行未来的研究。”)可知,从斯莱皮安博士的话可 以推断人类医生可以做很多事情来促进人工智能医疗，故选B。 9．细节理解题。根据第四段“If study participants were informed their primary care physicians felt AI was superior, the acceptance of AI by study participants on re-questioning increased. This signaled the significance of the human physician in guiding a patient’s decision.”（如果研究参与者被告知他们的初级保健医生认为人工智能更优越，那么研究参与者对人工智能的接受度就会增加。这标志着人类医生在指导病人做出决定方面的重要性。）可知，医生的指导是增加参与者对AI治疗偏好的关键因素。故选B。 10．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they will play an increasing role in the future of health care.”（并继续保持和提高人工智能系统的准确性，因为它们将在未来的医疗保健中发挥越来越大的作用。）可知，保持和提高人工智能系统的准确性的医生和其他医疗保健人员，所以医生和其他医疗保健人员有责任确保人工智能系统中的信息准确。所以划线词的意思是“责任”。故选A项。 11．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Artificial intelligence-powered medical treatment options are on the rise and have the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, but a new study found that about almost half of participants would choose a human doctor rather than AI for diagnosis and treatment.”（人工智能驱动的医疗选择正在增加，并有可能提高诊断的准确性，但一项新的研究发现，大约一半的参与者会选择人类医生而不是人工智能进行诊断和治疗。）和最后一段““I feel this study will guide many future studies and clinical translational decisions even now,” Dr. Slepian said. “The onus will be on physicians and others in health care to ensure that information in AI systems is accurate, and to continue to maintain and enhance the accuracy of AI systems as they will play an increasing role in the future of health care.”(斯菜皮安博士说:“我觉得即使现在,这项研究也将指导许多未来的研究和临床转化决策。”“医生和其他医疗保健人员将有责任确保人工智能系统中的信息准确无误,并继续维护和提高人工智能系统的准确性,因为它们将在未来的医疗保健中发挥越来越大的作用。”)”可知，本文主要说明了人类医生和人工智能的关系，通过人类医生的帮助来提供人类对人工智能的信 心。B选项“弥合差距:人类医生与人工智能”符合文意。故选B项。 2.（江苏省南通市海安市2024-2025学年高三上学期开学） Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages. Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones. Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. As a writer who declared the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, Thoreau was a contrarian (叛逆者) for his time. He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines such as steam engines. Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology. We created powerful machines to make life more convenient. Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite. In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology. Technology is controlling us. Let me try updating Thoreau’s message with a couple 21st-century examples. Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages. At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour. Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse. Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 12．Which statement would Thoreau probably agree with? A．Technology holds back our ambition. B．Technology is key to a meaningful life. C．Simplicity is possible in a tech-driven world. D．Simplicity is outdated in modern times. 13．What was the primary reason for Thoreau’s withdrawing from city life? A．To escape the harsh economic conditions of his time. B．To throw himself into the completion of his masterpiece. C．To experience a new and exciting lifestyle away from technology. D．To find a quieter existence that allows for deeper reflection and purpose. 14．What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A．Theoretical models. B．Popular beliefs. C．Practical measures. D．Realistic analyses. 15．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To criticize the overuse of 21st-century modern technology. B．To illustrate Thoreau’s ideas on simple living in the modern context. C．To explore the role of technology in shaping contemporary lifestyles. D．To examine the effects of reduced social media use on personal well-being. 【答案】12．C 13．D 14．C 15．B 【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了Thoreau提倡的简单生活理念，并将其与现代科技时代的生活进行对比，探讨了如何在科技驱动的世界中实现简单生活。 12．推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. (许多人可能听说过Thoreau，尽管他的简朴思想听起来有些过时。)”和第三段“Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods.   He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden.   In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement.   We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology.   We created powerful machines to make life more convenient.   Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite.   In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”. (Thoreau对生活中不断的喧嚣感到厌烦，他退出了城市生活，独自一人住在树林里。他只带了生活必需品，并把这次冒险写成了他的书《Walden》。在《Walden》中，Thoreau基本上是在做一个哲学陈述。感谢（或不感谢）现代科技，我们没有过着深思熟虑或有意义的生活。我们创造了强大的机器，使生活更方便。不幸的是，这些机器起到了相反的作用。用他的话来说，“人类已经成为工具的工具”。)”可知，Thoreau提倡简单生活，并认为简单生活是有价值的，因此他可能会同意在科技驱动的世界中简单生活是有可能的这一观点。所以答案是C。 13． 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Turned off by the constant hustle and bustle of his time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods. He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden. In Walden, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement. We are not living deliberate or meaningful lives, thanks (or no thanks) to modern technology.

First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. (就我个人而言，我以两种方式做到这一点。首先，我在手机上使用很少的数据，并尽量减少手机上的应用程序。大多数时候，我只用手机打电话或发短信。其次，我退出了大多数社交媒体。当然，这两件事并不像梭罗躲进树林那样极端。然而，这些都是我可以朝着更有意义的生活迈出的现实的一步。)”可知，作者提到自己减少技术使用的两个实际措施：减少手机数据使用和退出大部分社交媒体。这些都是实际的措施。故选C。 15．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Many have probably heard of Thoreau, even though his message of simplicity may sound old-fashioned. (许多人可能听说过Thoreau，尽管他的简朴思想听起来有些过时。)”和倒数第二段中的“Let me try updating Thoreau’s message with a couple 21st-century examples. (让我试着用几个21世纪的例子来更新梭罗的观点。)”、最后一段中的“Personally, I’ve done so in two ways. First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum. The vast majority of the time, I only use my phone to call or text. Second, I quit most social media. Sure, those two things aren’t as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods. Nevertheless, they’re realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life.

Gathering evidence from hundreds of participants from five different studies across three countries over seven years, Langlois examined the food choices made after both real-world and virtual experiences of nature. In the first study conducted in France, participants took a twenty-minute long walk through either a large green park or the city, taking photos along the way. Afterwards, they could choose what they wanted to eat from a snack buffet. Those who walked in nature ate healthier snacks compared to the urban city walkers. But was it the nature or the photo that did the trick? The researchers moved online, and took on more participants. One group were shown a photo of a hotel room with a window view of a natural setting while the other group had a window view of an urban setting. A third control group had no window view — they had closed curtains. Those exposed to “nature” in this way were found to make healthier food choices compared to both the control and urban groups. “By including a control condition in our work, this research shows that it is not exposure to urban environments that is driving unhealthy food choices, but really exposure to natural environments that is driving healthier food choices,” said Langlois. With almost 70% of the world’s population expected to live in urbanized areas by 2050, this research could provide urban planners important insight into the health implications of their designs. It is also hoped that highlighting benefits of nature may promote environmental conservation efforts as people realize, we need nature. 8．What is Maria Langlois’s study mainly about? A．The impact of nature on physical exercise. B．The influence of nature on food choices. C．The effect of urban environments on health. D．The comparison of real and virtual experiences. 9．What can we know from the 7-year study? A．Participants used to take a walk after meals. B．Participants walked 20 minutes daily before meals. C．Participants chose healthy food after walking in nature. D．Participants had fewer food choices when walking in the city. 10．How did the researchers mainly conduct the further study in paragraph 4? A．By giving reasons. B．By doing interviews. C．By taking quotations. D．By making classifications. 11．What would urban planners do for future cities? A．To build more parks. B．To dig more tunnels. C．To widen the lanes. D．To construct high-rise buildings. 【答案】8．B 9．C 10．D 11．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究发现，体验自然会鼓励人们选择更健康的食物。 8．细节理解题。根据文章第二段““We found that exposure to nature increases the importance that people attach to health compared to taste or other properties when making food choices,” explained Maria Langlois, (我们发现，在选择食物时，与味道或其他特性相比，接触大自然会增加人们对健康的重视，玛丽亚·朗格卢瓦解释说，)”可知，Maria Langlois的研究主要是关于自然对食物选择的影响。故选B。 9．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Those who walked in nature ate healthier snacks compared to the urban city walkers.(那些在大自然中散步的人比在城市里散步的人吃的零食更健康。)”可知，从7年的研究中我们知道参与者在大自然中散步后选择了健康的食物。故选C。 10．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“One group were shown a photo of a hotel room with a window view of a natural setting while the other group had a window view of an urban setting. A third control group had no window view — they had closed curtains.(研究人员给一组人看的是一间酒店房间的照片，从窗户可以看到自然环境，而另一组人看的是城市环境。第三个控制组没有窗户，他们拉着窗帘)”可知，研究者主要通过分类来进行进一步的研究。故选D。 11．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“With almost 70% of the world’s population expected to live in urbanized areas by 2050, this research could provide urban planners important insight into the health implications of their designs. It is also hoped that highlighting benefits of nature may promote environmental conservation efforts as people realize, we need nature.(预计到2050年，世界上近70%的人口将生活在城市化地区，这项研究可以为城市规划者提供有关其设计对健康影响的重要见解。人们还希望通过强调自然的好处来促进环境保护工作，因为人们意识到，我们需要自然。)”可推知，城市规划者将为未来的城市建造更多的公园。故选A。 4.（2025·江苏省部分学校高三上学期期初调研模拟测试） The expression “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration (汗水)” is often attributed to Thomas Edison. But as we have progressed into the 21st century, I think we should update the saying: “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% preparation.” Indeed, ideas are shooting around faster than ever, but most are worthless because no one does the hard work to implement them. And as we’re in a service economy now, implementation requires hours and hours not of sweat but of preparation. You must do it all: reading, researching, falling into one rabbit hole after another on the Internet to find the right series of test cases and quotes to make your point, and presenting your idea briefly and clearly. Preparation is everything! Watch the amazing 2021 video of the Perseverance rover landing on the surface of Mars. The onboard camera shows the terrain (地形). After the landing, I’m pretty sure one of the scientists exclaims, “Hey, that’s my rock.” In mission preparation, the entire landing area was digitized. The planners knew the placement of every rock and dip in terrain. Churchill famously memorized his speeches and practiced giving them over and over in his bathtub. Some of this was to overcome his stutter (口吃), but it was mainly to get the tone just right. Nothing was off-the-cuff (即兴的). His speeches didn’t sound like they were read from a piece of paper; they felt stream of consciousness. In his finest hours he showed the value of preparation. But, you may ask, why put in any extra effort? ChatGPT can pass Advanced Placement tests, entry exams for law and medical school, and even the bar exam. That probably says more about how poor those tests are than about AI’s ability. But even though AI can answer almost any question you throw at it, it is worthless in an elevator when your boss asks you what you think about new product ideas or sales prospects in Omaha. The only answer comes from that 99% preparation. Study everything, not only the task you’ve been assigned. Dig deep. Come up with ideas and potential solutions. Work on an elevator speech for what excites you. Don’t wing it. Prepare. And trust me, the feeling you get from preparation-induced success is better than anything you can buy at a drugstore. Preparation will make you super great. 12．What can we learn from paragraph 2? A．The service economy makes ideas worthless. B．Implementation does not take much time these days. C．Ideas are worthless without preparation and hard work. D．Implementation requires more inspiration than preparation. 13．How does the author try to persuade readers to accept his argument? A．By listing examples. B．By sharing his experience. C．By providing research results. D．By referring to experts’ words. 14．What point is the author trying to make by mentioning ChatGPT? A．ChatGPT is capable of passing various tests. B．Preparation can help you perform better than AI. C．Elevator conversations require high social skills. D．Standard tests do not fully represent one’s abilities. 15．What does the text mainly talk about? A．How we can achieve success with little sweat. B．How we should make preparation for our future. C．Why perspiration still maters in the 21st century. D．Why preparation can pave the way to your success. 【答案】12．C 13．A 14．B 15．D 【解析】这是一篇议论文。本文强调成功更多依赖于99%的准备而非灵感，通过爱迪生名言的更新、火星车着陆准备、丘吉尔演讲准备等例子，论证了充分准备对于成功的重要性。 12．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Indeed, ideas are shooting around faster than ever, but most are worthless because no one does the hard work to implement them. (事实上，想法的传播速度比以往任何时候都快，但大多数想法都毫无价值，因为没有人努力实施它们)”可知，没有准备和努力的想法是无价值的。故选C项。 13．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Watch the amazing 2021 video of the Perseverance rover landing on the surface of Mars. (观看2021年毅力号火星车在火星表面着陆的精彩视频)”和第三段中的“In mission preparation, the entire landing area was digitized. The planners knew the placement of every rock and dip in terrain. (在任务准备过程中，整个着陆区都被数字化了。规划者知道每一块岩石的位置和地形的倾角)”以及第四段中的“Churchill famously memorized his speeches and practiced giving them over and over in his bathtub. Some of this was to overcome his stutter (口吃), but it was mainly to get the tone just right. Nothing was off-the-cuff (即兴的). (丘吉尔以熟记演讲而闻名，并在浴缸里反复练习演讲。其中一些是为了克服他的口吃，但主要是为了让语气恰到好处。没有什么是即兴的)”可知，作者在文章中通过列举多个例子来支持他的观点，如Perseverance火星探测器着陆前的详尽准备，以及丘吉尔对演讲的精心准备等。故选A项。 14．推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“But even though AI can answer almost any question you throw at it, it is worthless in an elevator when your boss asks you what you think about new product ideas or sales prospects in Omaha. (但是，尽管人工智能几乎可以回答你提出的任何问题，但当你的老板问你对奥马哈的新产品创意或销售前景有何看法时，它在电梯里毫无价值)”可知，在实际的工作场景中，如电梯里老板询问你对新产品想法或销售前景的看法时，AI是无能为力的。这实际上是在突出准备和人的能力的重要性，即准备可以让你在需要时表现得比AI更好。故选B项。 15．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中的“But as we have progressed into the 21st century, I think we should update the saying: “Success is 1% inspiration and 99% preparation.” (但随着我们进入21世纪，我认为我们应该更新这句话：“成功是1%的灵感和99%的准备。”)”以及最后一段中的“The only answer comes from that 99% preparation. (唯一的答案来自99%的准备)”和“ Preparation will make you super great. (准备会让你变得超级棒)”可知，作者认为成功不仅仅是靠灵感，更重要的是准备，整篇文章主要围绕“准备”这一主题展开，通过多个例子和论述来强调准备对于成功的重要性。故选D项。 5.（2025·江苏省盐城市五校联考高三上学期10月月考） The scene in the stands at Roland Garros’s Court Philippe-Chatrier was dotted with red banners, adding a glow to the already orange y air spreading the red clay court. There were hundreds of Chinese waving flags to support Qinwen Zheng, 21, who would soon take gold by defeating Croatia’s Donna Vedic in the women’s singles tennis final. As she lay down on the dirt, eyes skyward and fists extended into the Paris haze, the win’s gravity seemed to register: This was China’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in this sport. When talking about the Olympics, Zheng said, “I treated the Games differently — the emotion, the fight, the mentality. If you asked me to stay three more hours to fight, I could do it.” Born in 2002, Zheng started playing tennis at age seven. At age eight, she moved alone for better coaching. Since adolescence, she has deeply admired Chinese athletes, such as the tennis star Li Na, who joined the 2008 Beijing Games, and the runner Liu Xiang, who won gold at the 2004 Athens Games. “It was really tough,” Zheng said, looking back at those early days. “My mom used to come visit on weekends. When she left, I would hold her leg and cry. After 13, she decided to stay with me full-time to let me have better growth and care. After that, it got easier. And we moved to Europe when I was 17.” In Paris, Zheng performed exceptionally well on her road to gold, including toppling world number one Iga Swiatek. “With Iga, I was clear,” Zheng said. “I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn’t think like this.” Zheng is conscious, too, of the effects that her milestone achievement in Paris will have. As we wrapped up our chat, she said, softly: “I was reading comments last night and some of them were talking about inspiration, and this makes me feel proud. If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make me happy.” 24．According to the passage, which is TRUE about Qinwen Zheng? A．She considered all tennis games to be equally important. B．She felt confident to live alone at her early days of training. C．She secured the first Chinese Olympic tennis championship. D．As a teenager, she wanted to go beyond other Chinese athletes. 25．What does the underlined word “toppling” in the 6th paragraph mean? A．Challenging. B．Defeating. C．Discouraging. D．Declining. 26．Which words can best describe Qinwen Zheng? A．Competent and idealistic. B．Creative and independent. C．Sincere and ambitious. D．Strong-willed and reflective. 27．What can we infer from Qinwen Zheng’s words in the last paragraph? A．She feels delighted to read numerous comments on her match. B．She expects her achievement to motivate more people. C．She takes pride in attaining the Olympic gold medal. D．She hopes that her achievement will earn her fame. 【答案】24．C 25．B 26．D 27．B 【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。报道了郑钦文正作为一名网球运动员在比赛中的表现和她的个人故事，特别强调了她在奥运会上为中国赢得首枚网球金牌的成就。 24．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This was China’s first-ever Olympic gold medal in this sport. (这是中国在这个项目上的首枚奥运金牌)”可知，她获得了第一个中国奥运网球冠军。故选C项。 25．词句猜测题。根据文章第六段“In Paris, Zheng performed exceptionally well on her road to gold, including toppling world number one Iga Swiatek. (在巴黎，郑钦文在她的夺金之路上表现异常出色，包括toppling世界排名第一的Iga Swiatek)”可知，郑钦文获得了奥运会金牌，所以她在赢得金牌的道路上应该是击败头号种子伊加·斯维亚特克，所以划线单词的意思应与“击败”意义相近。故选B项。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中“When talking about the Olympics, Zheng said, “I treated the Games differently — the emotion, the fight, the mentality. If you asked me to stay three more hours to fight, I could do it.”(在谈到奥运会时，郑说：“我对比赛有不同的对待——情感、拼搏、心态。如果你让我再多坚持三个小时去拼搏，我也能做到。”)”及第六段““I know why I lost to her before. I played rushed, made too many unforced errors, and wanted to hit faster than her. I wanted to prove my power. But in these Games, I didn’t think like this.” (“我知道为什么以前会输给她。我打得急躁，出现了太多非受迫性失误，想比她更快地击球。我想证明自己的实力。但在本届比赛中，我没有这样想。”)”可知，郑钦文是一位意志坚定且善于反思的运动员。故选D项。 27．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As we wrapped up our chat, she said, softly: “I was reading comments last night and some of them were talking about inspiration, and this makes me feel proud. If you watch my tennis and it brings you some extra strength in your life, that will make me happy.” (当我们结束聊天时，她轻声说道：“我昨晚看了些评论，有些人谈到了激励，这让我感到自豪。如果你看了我的网球比赛，这能给你生活中带来一些额外的力量，那我会很高兴。”)”可知，她希望她的成就能激励更多的人。故选B项。 6.（2025·江苏省苏州高三上学期期初学业质量阳光指标调研） In 2013, two years into her doctoral studies on forensic (法医的) jewelry, Maria Malennan found herself in a hospital in Namibia, helping identify the victims of a plane crash that had killed everyone on board. It was the first time she had put her theoretical skills into practice, examining pieces of jewelry found in the ruins and using her knowledge of designs, materials and the industry to provide investigators with leads. “Being a forensic jeweler is not really a job that actually exists,” Dr. Maclennan, 35, said during a recent interview at her office in Edinburgh. “In some ways, it’s something I’ve made up and am still making up as I go. ” Since then she has helped identify the victims of many catastrophes, including building collapses, natural disasters and a terrorist attack. And while the situations can be miserable — sometimes, she said, the jewelry was all but fused (熔合) into human remains — she has approached the job as a professional: “You’re wearing your forensic gloves and it’s all very methodical and detached (不带感情的) from the person, the human being.” But there is a part of the process that she finds emotionally difficult. “It’s at the end, the returning, when you give the belongings back to the family, which really strikes me,” she said. “You look at the piece as a sort of a representation of the individual. Especially, I think, in the absence of the human body.” Dr. Maclennan now is a member of a disaster victim identification team for Blake Emergency Services, based in Cheshire, England. “Maria is the only one who does what she does,” said Carole Davenport, the archaeology manager at Blake. “She’s at the forefront of a field that she invented. She took the skills she learned as a jeweler and she applied this to the forensics world. Jewelry can be particular to areas, and there are certain unique things about jewelry that can help you almost read life of a person. That’s what Maria does.” 24．What did Maclennan apply her jewelry knowledge to? A．Furthering her doctoral studies. B．Designing custom-made jewelry. C．Recognizing the identities of victims. D．Reforming forensic jewelry industry. 25．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．What Maclennan does as a forensic jeweler. B．When forensic jewelry came into existence. C．Why Maclennan chose to be a forensic jeweler. D．How forensic jewelers are viewed by the public. 26．How does Maclennan feel while returning victims’ belongings? A．She is hardly affected as it is a routine for her. B．She feels sorry for what she has done to the victims. C．She is relieved that the process brings comfort to the families. D．She feels sad as she has deep empathy for the victims’ families. 27．How does Davenport describe Maclennan in the last paragraph? A．Firm and ambitious. B．Innovative and competent. C．Intelligent and generous. D．Sensitive and responsible. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．D 27．B 【解析】本文的体裁属于新闻报道。文章主要介绍了法医珠宝专家Maria Malennan的工作经历、专业技能以及在灾难受害者身份识别领域所做出的贡献。 24．细节理解题。根据第一段“In 2013, two years into her doctoral studies on forensic (法医的) jewelry, Maria Malennan found herself in a hospital in Namibia, helping identify the victims of a plane crash that had killed everyone on board. It was the first time she had put her theoretical skills into practice, examining pieces of jewelry found in the ruins and using her knowledge of designs, materials and the industry to provide investigators with leads. (2013年，Maria Malennan攻读法医珠宝博士学位已经两年了，她发现自己在纳米比亚的一家医院里，帮助辨认一架飞机失事的遇难者，那次飞机失事导致机上所有人遇难。这是她第一次将自己的理论技能应用到实践中，检查在废墟中发现的珠宝，并利用她对设计、材料和行业的了解为调查人员提供线索。)”可知，Maclennan将她的珠宝知识应用于识别受害者的身份。故选C。 25．主旨大意题。根据第二段““Being a forensic jeweler is not really a job that actually exists,” Dr. Maclennan, 35, said during a recent interview at her office in Edinburgh. “In some ways, it’s something I’ve made up and am still making up as I go. ” Since then she has helped identify the victims of many catastrophes, including building collapses, natural disasters and a terrorist attack. And while the situations can be miserable — sometimes, she said, the jewelry was all but fused (熔合) into human remains — she has approached the job as a professional: “You’re wearing your forensic gloves and it’s all very methodical and detached (不带感情的) from the person, the human being.” (“法医珠宝师并不是一个真正存在的工作，”35岁的Maclennan最近在Edinburgh的办公室接受采访时说。“在某种程度上，这是我编造出来的，而且我还在不断编造。”从那以后，她帮助确定了许多灾难的受害者，包括建筑物倒塌、自然灾害和恐怖袭击。虽然情况可能会很悲惨——她说，有时候，珠宝几乎融入了人类的遗体——但她以专业的态度对待这项工作：“你戴着法医手套，一切都很有条理，与人、人本身无关。”)”可知，第二段主要描述了Maclennan作为法医珠宝师的工作内容和经历。故选A。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段“But there is a part of the process that she finds emotionally difficult. “It’s at the end, the returning, when you give the belongings back to the family, which really strikes me,” she said. “You look at the piece as a sort of a representation of the individual. Especially, I think, in the absence of the human body.” (但是，整个过程中有一部分让她感到情感上的困扰。“是在最后，归还物品的时候，当你把这些遗物交还给家属时，这真的触动了我，”她说。“你会把这件物品看作是个体的一种象征。尤其是在没有遗体的情况下。”)”可知，Maclennan在归还受害者遗物时感到悲伤，因为她对受害者家属有深深的同情。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段内容““Maria is the only one who does what she does,” said Carole Davenport, the archaeology manager at Blake. “She’s at the forefront of a field that she invented. She took the skills she learned as a jeweler and she applied this to the forensics world. Jewelry can be particular to areas, and there are certain unique things about jewelry that can help you almost read life of a person. That’s what Maria does.” (“Maria是唯一一个这样做的人，”Blake考古经理卡Carole Davenport说。“她站在自己创造的领域的最前沿。她把自己当珠宝商时学到的技能应用到了法医领域。珠宝可以是特定的领域，珠宝有一些独特的东西可以帮助你几乎了解一个人的生活。Maria就是这么做的。”)”可知，Davenport认为Maclennan是创新且有能力的。故选B。 7.（2025·江苏省如皋中学高三考试） One by one, prejudices are disappearing in the West. People may hold private suspicions that other people’s race or sex makes them inferior — but to say so openly is totally taboo (禁忌). One old prejudice remains undisturbed, though. Just ask a childless person. They are not charged to special taxes, as they were in Soviet Russia; nor are they driven from their homes, as they still are in some poor countries. The childless nonetheless come in for a lot of criticism. Some point out that non-parents are failing to produce the future workers who will pay for their pensions. Childless politicians are charged with not having a proper stake in society. “He talks to us about the future, but he doesn’t have children!” complained Jean-Marie Le Pen, co-founder of the National Front party, of Emmanuel Macron, who went on to win the French presidency. Similar attacks on Theresa May and Angela Merkel also failed but researchers find that many voters quietly agree. If non-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way of showing it. They are more likely to set up charitable foundations than people with children, and much more likely to donate money to good causes. According to one American estimate, the mere fact of not having children raises the amount a person leaves to charity by a little over $10,000. The childless are thus a small but useful counterweight to the world’s parents, who stop social stability by passing on their social and economic advantages to their children. The charge that childless people fail to pull their weight in population is correct, but is less serious than it appears. Those who do not have children do put pressure on public pension systems. Governments have to do unpopular things like making pensions less generous, as Japan has done, or accepting more immigrants, as some Western countries have done. But to sustain public pensions in the long term, countries do not actually need more parents. What they need instead is more babies. It is possible to combine a high rate of childlessness with a high birth rate, provided people who become parents have more than one or two children. That was the pattern in many Western countries a century ago. Ireland, yet another country with a childless leader, still manages it today. The childless also do everyone else a favor by creating wonderful works of art. British novelists have been especially likely to have no offspring: think of Hilary Mantel, P.G Wodehouse and the Bronte sisters. In September last year Britain put Jane Austen on its ten-pound note. That decision was controversial, though it was hard to see why. Few people have written as shrewdly about money or about families even though Austen did not marry, and had no children. 28．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．The childless often come under sharp criticism. B．Childlessness is to future workers’ disadvantage. C．Many highly successful people have no children D．The childless politicians get attacked in society. 29．The childless are prejudiced because people think the childless ______. A．have a strange way to show selfishness B．set a bad example for young people C．are not as generous as those with children D．are the government’s financial burden 30．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Accepting more immigrants. B．Reducing the pensions for the aged. C．Encouraging parents to have more children. D．Supporting the political leaders with no children. 31．What is the best title for the passage? A．In defense of the childless. B．Prejudice against non-breeders. C．Why don’t they have children? D．Measures to address childlessness. 【答案】28．A 29．D 30．C 31．A 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了当今社会对不生孩子的偏见，并认为对无子女者的指控应当驳回，他们的存在为社会产生很多好处。 28．主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句“The childless nonetheless come in for a lot of criticism. (尽管如此，没有孩子的人还是受到了很多批评。)”并结合下文可知，本段主要讲述了无子女者常常遭受尖锐批判。故选A。 29．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Some point out that non-parents are failing to produce the future workers who will pay for their pensions. (一些人指出，非父母者无法培养出未来的工人来支付养老金。)”和倒数第二段中的“Those who do not have children do put pressure on public pension systems. Governments have to do unpopular things like making pensions less generous, as Japan has done, or accepting more immigrants, as some Western countries have done. (那些没有孩子的人确实给公共养老金系统带来了压力。政府不得不做一些不受欢迎的事情，比如像日本那样降低养老金的慷慨程度，或者像一些西方国家那样接受更多的移民。)”可知，由于无子女者没有生孩子来为养老金系统作贡献，这会给公共养老金系统带来压力，政府不得不做一些不受欢迎的事情。由此可推测出，无子女者遭受人们的偏见是因为人们认为他们成为政府的经济负担。故选D。 30．词句猜测题。根据画线词it所在句的前文“It is possible to combine a high rate of childlessness with a high birth rate, provided people who become parents have more than one or two children. That was the pattern in many Western countries a century ago. (如果成为父母的人有一个或两个以上的孩子，就有可能把高无子女率和高出生率结合起来。这是一个世纪前许多西方国家的模式。)”可知，画线词it指代前文的内容，即一个世纪前许多国家采取的模式是鼓励成为父母的人生孩子，从而兼顾高无子女率与高出生率。故选C。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段最后一句“One old prejudice remains undisturbed, though. Just ask a childless person. (然而，一种古老的偏见仍然受人尊敬。问问一个没有孩子的人就知道了。)”引出话题：无子女者遭受偏见；第二段具体讲述了无子女者面对的批判；接下来几段作者分别从慈善、政治能力、人口增长、艺术文学贡献等方面讲述无子女者的贡献。由此可推测出，本文主要指出人们对无子女者的偏见，并为无子女者辩护，由此可推测出，A项“为无子女者辩护”最适合作本文标题。故选A。 8.（2025·江苏省南通市名校联盟高三上学期八月模拟演练性月考） We go through life assuming we’re in charge of our own minds — until temptation (诱惑) strikes. Few things better illustrate how little control we really have. You can know exactly what you should do (decline the second slice of cake or the third cocktail), but that hardly seems to matter when the urge arises. More self-discipline is rarely the answer, though. Instead, if you can understand what’s going on inside your head when temptation comes, you’ll be far better placed to make a healthier choice. Sometimes, you need to push yourself, the idea behind which, in psychology, is to make the better choice the easier choice. (School pupils eat more healthily, it’s been shown, when the salads are within easier reach than the chips.) So, instead of relying on willpower, stop keeping ice creams in your freezer! Use StayFocused or similar apps to block distracting websites. Change your environment, and temptation will be a non-issue. For every person, behind every bad habit, there's a reasonable desire: some people eat or drink too much because they're lonely, or smoke to get a break from a busy schedule. Once you’ve uncovered this underlying need, find a different way to meet it: call a friend; take a coffee break instead of a cigarette break. There’s nothing wrong with the need — only with the way you’re currently meeting it. It’s a strange truth that we’ll break all sorts of promises to ourselves — yet most of us would never fail to show up at a prearranged meeting with a friend. Involve others in your temptation-resistance efforts, whether it's asking someone to check in weekly to see if you’re sticking to your plan, or never going shopping alone if you’re subject to impulse purchases. Best of all, launch a joint plan, in which two of you decide to give up a bad habit. That turns a challenge into a fun game. 24．What does “that” mean in paragraph 1? A．Temptation. B．Self-awareness. C．Choice. D．Self-motivation. 25．Which should be a good choice if you feel worn out from a packed timetable? A．Exercise strong willpower over it. B．Keep ice creams within easy reach. C．Use StayFocused to refresh yourself. D．Chat with a friend over a cup of coffee. 26．What does the author suggest you do according to paragraph 4? A．Seek partners’ support. B．Leave challenges behind. C．Keep your promises. D．Say no to playing games. 27．What is the text mainly about? A．What causes temptation. B．How to keep temptation at bay. C．Why urges set in. D．How to keep life under control. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．A 27．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了如何抵制诱惑，提出了一些有效的方法，如理解诱惑的来源，改变环境，寻找替代的满足方式，以及寻求他人的支持等。 24．词句猜测题。根据第一段“You can know exactly what you should do (decline the second slice of cake or the third cocktail), but that hardly seems to matter when the urge arises.”（你可以确切地知道你应该做什么(拒绝第二块蛋糕或第三杯鸡尾酒)，但当冲动出现时，that似乎并不重要。）可知，当冲动出现时，所有的自我意识都不重要了。that指代上文的“自我意识”。故选B项。 25．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Once you’ve uncovered this underlying need, find a different way to meet it: call a friend; take a coffee break instead of a cigarette break.”（一旦你发现了这种潜在的需求，找到一种不同的方式来满足它:打电话给朋友;休息时间喝杯咖啡，而不是抽烟）可知，如果你因为日程安排过满而感到疲惫，你可以选择和朋友聊天喝咖啡来放松。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的“Involve others in your temptation-resistance efforts, whether it's asking someone to check in weekly to see if you’re sticking to your plan, or never going shopping alone if you’re subject to impulse purchases.”（让其他人参与你的抵制诱惑的努力，无论是让某人每周检查你是否坚持你的计划，还是如果你容易冲动购物，就不要一个人去购物。）可知，作者建议你寻求他人的支持。故选A。 27．主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了如何抵制诱惑，提出了一些有效的方法，如理解诱惑的来源，改变环境，寻找替代的满足方式，以及寻求他人的支持等。故选B。 9.（2025·江苏省连云港市部分学校高三上学期开学摸底） In today’s digital age, social media has become an integral part of people’s lives. However, it has also brought about a new problem—cyberbullying, which refers to the act of sending or posting harmful or cruel messages online. Recently, a famous singer, Lily, has been a victim of cyberbullying. Some people left mean comments on her social media posts, saying that her singing skills were poor and that she didn’t deserve her success. These negative comments not only hurt Lily’s feelings but also affected her performance and mental health. Lily’s fans were very angry about this and decided to take action. They started a campaign to support Lily and report those who left malicious comments. They also tried to raise awareness about the harm of cyberbullying, hoping that more people would understand the importance of being kind and respectful online. 4．The passage tries to highlight the problem of ______. A．social media addiction B．privacy leakage on the Internet C．cyberbullying against celebrities D．the spread of false information 5．What did the fans do to support Lily? A．They started a campaign for her. B．They reported the malicious comments. C．They raised awareness. D．All of the above. 6．What can we infer from the passage? A．Cyberbullying only happens to famous people. B．Cyberbullying can have a serious impact on the victim. C．People who leave mean comments online are usually jealous.

They also tried to raise awareness about the harm of cyberbullying, hoping that more people would understand the importance of being kind and respectful online.(他们发起了一场支持Lily的运动，并举报那些留下恶意评论的人。他们还试图提高人们对网络欺凌危害的认识，希望更多的人能够理解在网上保持善良和尊重的重要性。)”可知，Lily的粉丝发起了一场支持Lily的运动，举报那些留下恶意评论的人，还试图提高人们对网络欺凌危害的认识。故选D。 6．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“These negative comments not only hurt Lily’s feelings but also affected her performance and mental health.(这些负面评论不仅伤害了Lily的感情，也影响了她的表现和心理健康。)”可推测出，网络霸凌行为对受害者产生严重的影响。故选B。 7．词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Some people left mean comments on her social media posts”和“These negative comments”可知，施加网络霸凌的人给Lily的社交媒体帖子上留下刻薄、负面的评论。由此可推测出，“report those who left malicious comments”表示的是这些粉丝举报那些发表恶毒评论的人，malicious意为“恶毒的”，与C项(意图伤害或造成伤害)意思一致。故选C。 10.（2025·江苏省连云港市部分学校高三上学期开学摸底） When my two boys have free time, they want to go to the mall. No, they aren’t shop-a-holics (购物狂). They want to go to gaze at sneakers. These aren’t the sneakers you find in Foot Locker. They are limited editions—usually Nikes—that range in price from $250-$900 or more. There’s the Chunky Dunkys, a collaboration between Nike and ice cream maker Ben and Jerry’s. And the Space Jam Jordans. And dozens of other pairs of shoes, all of which they know by name and all of which are very, very expensive. That made me wonder: How did this sneaker culture develop? After all, when I was a kid, I wanted Jordan brand shoes too. But they cost $100 and I would wear them until they fell apart. Now, my boys long for shoes that cost ten times that and if they got them, they would never even think of scuffing them up by wearing them. It all started during the Industrial Revolution, when the very wealthy began to find they had leisure time on their hands, Elizabeth Semmelhack, who runs the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, told me. “These’ nouveau riche (暴发户)’ industrialists wanted to show that they had arrived. And so, the ancient game of tennis was revived.” explained Semmelhack, “But the problem with lawn tennis—one, the lawns of lawn tennis are extremely expensive, so they didn’t want people to run around in leather shoes. And two, when you play on lawn, you can get your feet wet. So rubber soled shoes, the sneaker, was invented as something that the wealthy could wear as they pursued these wealthy pleasures. Besides, rubber was, at the time, quite expensive, so having shoes with rubber soles was seen as a status symbol.” But for most of us, sneakers were something you wore—not something you collected. With the development of internet, older versions of shoes could be purchased and collected. And sneaker companies, Nike especially, leaned into the trend. 12．What is the Chunky Dunkys? A．It’s a company’s name. B．It’s a kind of ice cream. C．It’s a kind of limited edition sneaker. D．It’s one of the author’s kids’ name. 13．Why did the author mention his experience as a kid? A．To show he was poor when he was a kid. B．To encourage his children to wear cheap shoes. C．To give an example about the development of sneaker culture. D．To show Jordan brand shoes have been popular for a long time. 14．What can we know from Semmelhack’s words? A．Rubber soled shoes could prevent feet from wetting. B．These ‘nouveau riche’ industrialists created lawn tennis. C．Leather shoes were more expensive than rubber soled shoes. D．The very wealthy were busy with their work during Industrial Revolution. 15．What is the author’s attitude towards collecting sneakers? A．Objective. B．Critical. C．Favourable. D．Unconcerned. 【答案】12．C 13．C 14．A 15．B 【解析】这是一篇议论文。主要介绍了作者对收集运动鞋的观点和看法，认为运动鞋是你穿的东西，而不是你收集的东西。随着互联网的发展，旧版本的鞋子可以购买和收集。而运动鞋公司，尤其是耐克，也顺应了这一潮流。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“They are limited editions—usually Nikes—that range in price from $250-$900 or more. There’s the Chunky Dunkys, a collaboration between Nike and ice cream maker Ben and Jerry’s.”（它们是限量版——通常是耐克鞋——价格从250美元到900美元不等，甚至更多。比如耐克(Nike)和冰淇淋制造商本杰瑞(Ben and Jerry’s)合作推出的Chunky Dunkys。）可知，Chunky Dunkys是一种限量版的运动鞋。故选C项。 13．推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“That made me wonder: How did this sneaker culture develop? After all, when I was a kid, I wanted Jordan brand shoes too.  But they cost $100 and I would wear them until they fell apart.  ”（这让我想知道：这种运动鞋文化是如何发展起来的？毕竟，当我还是个孩子的时候，我也想要乔丹品牌的鞋子。但它们要花100美元，我会一直穿到它们散架为止。）故可推知，作者提到他小时候的经历是为了举一个运动鞋文化发展的例子。故选C项。 14．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“And two, when you play on lawn, you can get your feet wet. So rubber soled shoes, the sneaker, was invented as something that the wealthy could wear as they pursued these wealthy pleasures.”（第二，当你在草坪上玩的时候，你会把脚弄湿。所以橡胶底鞋，也就是运动鞋，被发明出来作为富人在追求这些富有的乐趣时可以穿的东西。）可知，从Semmelhack的话中我们能知道胶底鞋可以防止脚湿。故选A项。 15．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But for most of us, sneakers were something you wore-not something you collected.”（但对我们大多数人来说，运动鞋是你穿的东西，而不是你收集的东西。）故可推知，作者对收集运动鞋的态度是批评的。故选B项。 ( 58 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
