The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists' representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time. In this “book of books，” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses—absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate__to. 技法 28．Where is the text most probably taken from? A．An introduction to a book. B．An essay on the art of writing. C．A guidebook to a museum. D．A review of modern paintings. 解析：根据第一段中的“Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is ... around the world.”及第二段中的“In this ‘book of books，’ ... different eras and cultures.”可知，本文介绍了收录近三百件来自博物馆和世界各地的收藏品的一本书，由此可推知，本文最有可能出自一本书的序言。故选A。 答案 解析 技法 技法5　推断人物性格/品质题——“言行一致”法 技法 [真题指路] 　(2024·新课标Ⅱ卷) BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives.

A．They have a great passion for sports. B．They are devoted to community service. C．They are fond of sharing daily experiences. D．They have a strong environmental awareness. 答案 技法 解析：根据文中“BMF employees live ... avoiding single－use plastic.”可知，BMF员工们在日常生活中践行可持续发展，大约半数的员工走路或骑自行车上班。在办公室里，他们通过限制垃圾桶数量及避免使用一次性塑料的方式鼓励回收利用及减少废物。由此可推知，BMF公司的员工有着强烈的环保意识。故选D。 解析 技法 同步对点练 (2024·山东省实验中学高三质量检测)A new finding from Cambridge scientists has shown that an artificial intelligent (AI) system can acquire features of the brains of humans in order to solve tasks. “Not only is the brain great at solving complex problems, but it does so while using very little energy. In our new work we show that considering the brains' problem­solving abilities alongside its goal of spending as few resources as possible can help us understand why brains look like they do，” said Jascha Achterberg, a scholar at the University of Cambridge. 同步对点练 In a study published in Nature Machine Intelligence, Achterberg and his colleagues created an artificial system intended to model a simplified version of the brain. Instead of real neurons (神经元) in brains, the system used computational nodes (节点). The researchers gave the system a simple task to complete, where it had to combine multiple pieces of information to decide upon the shortest route to get to the destination. One of the reasons the team chose this particular task is that to complete it, the system needs to maintain a number of elements—start location, end location and intermediate steps—and once it has learned to do the task reliably, it is possible to observe, at different moments in a trial, which nodes are important. 同步对点练 Initially, the system does not know how to complete the task and makes mistakes. But when it is given feedback it gradually learns to get better at the task. The system then repeats the task until eventually it learns to perform it correctly. Co­author Professor Duncan Astle said, “This simple task forces artificial systems to produce some quite complicated characteristics. Interestingly, they are characteristics shared by biological systems. I think that tells us something fundamental about why our brains are organised the way they are.” The team also believes their findings are likely to be of interest to the AI community, too, where they could allow for the development of more efficient systems. 同步对点练 篇章导读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍剑桥大学科学家的一项新发现表明，人工智能系统可以获取人类大脑的特征来解决问题。 篇章导读 同步对点练 1．Which best describes the brains of humans according to the text? A．Intelligent. B．Efficient. C．Adaptive. D．Imaginative. 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Not only is the brain great at solving complex problems, but it does so while using very little energy.

But what if the leather could repair itself? That can't happen today. But it might one day—if that jacket is fashioned from a specially prepared fungus (真菌)． Most leather comes from animal hides. But researchers in Newcastle, England, have just fashioned theirs from mycelia (菌丝) that normally spread underground below a mushroom. There, they absorb nutrients from the dead things the fungus digests, such as logs. 新高考外刊题组精练 30 Some companies already use fungi to make leather purses and car seats. These help to satisfy a market for goods made without animal products. But such vegan leather has always been made in a way that stops the fungus from ever growing again. The Newcastle team thought they could help those mushroom “roots” keep their ability to regrow by adjusting how they made the leather. And it worked. Other producers of fungal leather have kept their methods a secret. The Newcastle team isn't doing that. In fact, it has offered a how­to guide for copying its innovation. Those instructions could inspire other scientists who want to make mushroom materials. 新高考外刊题组精练 31 To test how well the revived spores (再生的孢子) work, they made holes in the leather. Over time, new mycelia grew over the holes. Once healed, the regrown areas were as strong as the undamaged areas. It’s possible this method could be used to make a specialty leather for sale in the next decade. But first, the team needs to make its leather stronger. Thickening it will help. The group still isn’t sure what (perhaps moisture) might cause the spores to grow shoots without being asked. So it’s necessary for the researchers to figure out how to control when those spores grow. Otherwise, someone could “walk out in the rain, and then all of a sudden find that their jacket is growing or perhaps has mushrooms popping out of it”． 新高考外刊题组精练 32 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于利用真菌制作可自我修复的皮革的科学研究。 篇章导读 新高考外刊题组精练 33 1．What's the author's purpose in asking the question in Paragraph 1? A．To express a wild imagination. B．To lead in the topic for discussion. C．To present a possible fashion trend. D．To put forward a quite practical idea. 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段内容并结合下文可推知，文章在第一段提出问题“但如果皮革能自我修复呢？”是为了引出本文的主题，即用真菌制作可修复的皮革。故选B。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 34 2．What can we know about the fungal leather created before the Newcastle team? A．It is resistant to water. B．It can't regrow. C．It differs from vegan leather. D．It is purely made from mushrooms. 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，在纽卡斯尔团队之前创造的真菌皮革不能再次生长，直到他们调整制作皮革的方式来帮助这些蘑菇“根”保持再生能力。故选B。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 35 3．How did the Newcastle team handle the fruits of its research? A．By keeping them a secret strictly. B．By putting them to test repeatedly. C．By sharing them with others actively. D．By selling them to producers instantly. 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，其他真菌皮革生产商对他们的生产方法保密，但是纽卡斯尔团队没有这么做。事实上，该研究团队为复制其创新提供了操作指南，也就是他们积极与他人分享他们的研究成果。故选C。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 36 4．What does the last paragraph imply about the Newcastle team? A．Their fungal leather jackets aren't suitable for windy days. B．Their fungal leather products will soon come into the market. C．They need to find an effective way to advertise their fungal leather. D．They need to carry out further research to perfect their fungal leather. 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，纽卡斯尔团队仍然不确定是什么导致孢子在没有被要求的情况下长出芽。因此，研究人员有必要弄清楚如何控制这些孢子的生长时间。由此可推知，纽卡斯尔团队需要进行进一步的研究来完善他们的真菌皮革。故选D。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 37 【词汇积累】 ①absorb v. 吸收；使并入 ②satisfy v. 使满意，使满足 ③innovation n. 创新；新方法 ④figure out 弄清楚；解决；计算 新高考外刊题组精练 38 B(时间：8分钟) Economists tend to be big fans of education. Alfred Marshall, writing in 1873, hoped that education would help erase the “distinction between working men and gentlemen”. Gary Becker of the University of Chicago reimagined education as an investment in “human capital” that would produce returns in the market similar to other assets. 新高考外刊题组精练 39 But economics can also be severely critical of schooling. In The Social Limits to Growth, a book published in 1976, Fred Hirsch pointed out that education is often “positional” in nature. What matters is not only how much you have, but whether you have more than the next person. An unhappy consequence is that one family's expenses of schooling raise__the__bar for everyone else. Families are drawn, often unconsciously, into educational arms races. They spend money and time on after­school tutoring or extra­curricular activities in the expectation that it will improve their child's position in the queue for advancement. But they quickly discover that everyone else is doing the same, leaving them in the same position as before. “If everyone stands on tiptoe, no one sees better，” Hirsch noted. 新高考外刊题组精练 40 These arms races are often particularly intense in East Asia. The government of South Korea has tried to ease the races. For example, it imposed a 10 pm curfew (宵禁) on cramming schools (补习学校). Inspectors would look for schools with their lights on. Will these measures work? It is almost impossible to stop families hiring private tutors to teach their children in their own homes. The arms race is notably less intense in parts of Europe. In Norway and Sweden parents show little demand for tutoring—the wealthy even less than others, according to Steve Entrich of the University of Potsdam. And overeducation is less common in Germany and other countries that sort children early into academic or vocational (职业的) schools, with little mobility between the two. For better or worse, that removes large numbers of students from the race for more academic honors. 新高考外刊题组精练 41 Germany's practice of placing children on different tracks at age 10 or 11 also invites an interesting thought experiment. What if college entrance tests were held earlier in a pupil's career? If these exams truly test the knowledge required for university, they must be held just before university starts. But if such tests mostly serve as filters, selecting better students from worse, they need not be held so late. An earlier test would save families a year or two of costly cramming, shortening “the obstacle journey”， as Hirsch put it, without much changing the results. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了激烈的教育竞争带来的影响，以及一些亚欧国家之间的教育差异。 篇章导读 新高考外刊题组精练 42 5．What can we infer about education according to Gary Becker? A．It serves as a driver of economic growth. B．It leads to the widening of class difference. C．It plays a vital role in the development of a country. D．It promotes progress toward social equity. 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Gary Becker of ... similar to other assets.”可知，Gary Becker (加里·贝克尔)将教育重新构想为一种对“人力资本”的投资，这与其他资产一样，在市场上可能会产生回报，由此可推知，他认为教育驱动经济增长。故选A。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 43 6．What do the underlined words “raise the bar” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Improve standards. B．Set up barriers. C．Provide a model. D．Limit the range. 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线部分下文“Families are drawn ... queue for advancement.”可知，家庭陷入了不自觉的教育竞赛中，由此可推知，一个家庭的教育支出会迫使其他家庭也随之提高标准。因此，画线部分意为“提高标准”。故选A。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 44 7．Why does the author mention East Asia and parts of Europe? A．To assess educational competitiveness across regions. B．To highlight the impact of private tutoring on education. C．To contrast educational arms races in different areas. D．To analyze strategies for lessening academic pressure. 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“These arms races are often particularly intense in East Asia.”以及第四段第一句“The arms race is notably less intense in parts of Europe.”可知，第三、四段主要讲东亚国家与部分欧洲国家在教育竞赛中的不同之处。由此可推知，作者提到东亚及部分欧洲国家是为了对比不同地区的教育军备竞赛。故选C。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 45 8．Which of the following will the author probably agree with? A．Closing cramming schools. B．Giving selective tests earlier. C．Following the German practice. D．Replacing tests with other alternatives. 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But if such tests mostly ... of costly cramming (但是如果这些考试主要起到过滤的作用，从较差的学生中挑选优等生，那么它们就不需要举行得这么晚。更早的考试可以为家庭节省一两年昂贵的补习费)”可推知，作者可能赞成选拔性考试尽早举行。故选B。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 46 【词汇积累】 ①critical adj. 极其重要的，关键的 ②expectation n. 期待，预期 ③impose v. 强制推行，强制实行 ④obstacle n. 障碍，阻碍；障碍物 ⑤sort ... into 把……分类 新高考外刊题组精练 47 C(时间：8分钟) How lonely can one be? Living alone or in a secluded place with no one to talk to may bring a sense of despair and isolation. It's an unpleasant feeling. There's a common belief that loneliness mainly affects the elderly, but it is not true. The phrase “lonely in a crowd” is familiar. Even surrounded by many, one may feel there's no one to talk to or connect with, and no one willing to listen. This might not be true, but loneliness is regarded as a significant mental health issue regardless of where people live. So much so that the British government has a minister dedicated to it. 新高考外刊题组精练 48 The BBC recently conducted a survey on this topic and found that people aged 16 to 24 experience loneliness more frequently and intensely than other age groups. Researchers from the University of Manchester analyzing the data suggested that young people might be more prone to feeling lonely due to identity changes—figuring out their place in the world and learning to control emotions. Psychology lecturer Claudia Hammond said it's tempting to think modern life makes young people more at risk of loneliness, but older people in the survey also said they felt lonely when they were young. The issue is being discussed more, and the UK's Minister for Loneliness Tracey Crouch said the government recognizes loneliness as a major health challenge. The BBC Loneliness Experiment also found that the culture one lives in affects loneliness. 新高考外刊题组精练 49 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了孤独这一现象，包括其影响人群、产生原因及相关研究等。 篇章导读 新高考外刊题组精练 50 9．Which statement about loneliness is mentioned according to the passage? A．Loneliness is exclusively a problem for the elderly. B．Living alone always leads to feelings of despair and isolation. C．Loneliness can affect not merely the old. D．Talking to someone regularly can completely eliminate loneliness. 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“There's a common belief ... but it is not true.”和第三段中的“The BBC recently ... other age groups.”可推知，孤独不只影响老年人。故选C。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 51 10．Who may greatly experience loneliness according to the BBC survey? A．People living alone. B．Young people. C．The elderly. D．People in poor health. 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The BBC recently ... other age groups.”可知，年龄在16～24岁的年轻人更频繁、更强烈地感受到孤独。故选B。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 52 11．Which of the following can be known from the last paragraph? A．There is no solution to the problem of loneliness. B．Loneliness is only a problem in certain cultures. C．People are becoming more aware of the issue of loneliness. D．The government has completely solved the problem of loneliness. 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The issue is being discussed more”可推知，人们越来越多地意识到孤独这一问题。故选C。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 53 12．What is Tracey Crouch mentioned to indicate? A．Loneliness is a minor concern in the UK. B．The government is unaware of the issue. C．Loneliness is recognized as a significant problem in the UK. D．The government is not taking any action to address loneliness. 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“the UK's Minister for Loneliness Tracey Crouch said ... as a major health challenge”可推知，提到Tracey Crouch (特雷西·克劳奇)旨在表明孤独在英国被视为一个重大问题。故选C。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 54 【词汇积累】 ①isolation n. 隔离，孤立；孤独；绝缘 ②conduct v. 实施，进行 ③be regarded as 被视为 ④(be) dedicated to 致力于 新高考外刊题组精练 55 D(时间：7分钟) Dr Mary Walker was the first female surgeon of the US and served near the front lines of the Civil War. Her accomplishments, including being the only female recipient of the Medal of Honor, made Walker a living symbol of women's independence. Born on November 26, 1832, in Oswego, New York, Dr Walker grew up in a home where education was valued. Her parents encouraged curiosity and built a school on their property. Both parents dealt with illness and read medical books to learn about the human body. Her father's belief in personal hygiene (卫生) profoundly influenced Mary from an early age. 新高考外刊题组精练 56 In December 1853, she was accepted into Syracuse Medical College, one of a few US medical schools that admitted women. She excelled and graduated with a medical doctorate on February 20, 1855. Dr Walker was the only woman in her graduating class. That same year she married classmate Albert Miller, spurning tradition by keeping her family name and refusing to recite the word “obey” during her vows. Setting up a joint medical practice in New York, Dr Walker faced prejudice against female doctors. However, the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 provided an opportunity to serve her country. Wearing men's clothes for practicality, she fearlessly volunteered as a medical assistant, tending to wounded soldiers on the battlefield. Her courage caught the military's eye, and in 1863, she became the first female surgeon in the army. 新高考外刊题组精练 57 While serving as an assistant surgeon with the North, Dr Walker often crossed enemy lines to treat people in need in the South. On April 10, 1864, Southern troops arrested her and accused her of being a spy. They put her into prison and the conditions were awful. On August 12, 1864, Dr Walker was part of a prisoner exchange. After her release, she returned to her role as a surgeon, tirelessly serving until the war's end in 1865. President Andrew Johnson recognized her incredible service and awarded her the Medal of Honor, making her the first woman ever to receive such an honor. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了美国第一位女性军医Mary Walker (玛丽·沃克)传奇的一生，其坚韧不拔、不惧困难的精神值得人们称赞和学习。 篇章导读 新高考外刊题组精练 58 13．What caused Dr Walker to pursue a medical career? A．Exposure to medical books. B．Influence from her parents. C．Curiosity about illnesses. D．Practice of hygiene principles. 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Both parents ... an early age.”可知，Dr Walker从事医疗事业深受其父母的影响。故选B。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 59 14．What does the underlined word “spurning” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Defending. B．Establishing. C．Continuing. D．Rejecting. 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“keeping her family name and refusing to recite the word ‘obey’ during her vows”可知，Dr Walker在结婚时选择保留自己的姓氏，并且在结婚誓言中不说出表示服从的“obey”一词，由此可推知，她摒弃了传统，spurning意为“拒绝，摒弃”。故选D。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 60 15．What did the Civil War mean to Dr Walker's career? A．A fight against prejudice. B．The test of her medical skills. C．A chance to be recognized. D．The closing of her clinic. 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，在内战爆发前，Dr Walker在纽约设立诊所时遭遇了人们对女性医生的偏见。内战的爆发给Dr Walker提供了为国效力的机会。她勇敢地志愿成为医疗助手，照顾战场上的受伤士兵，并成为军队中的第一位女性外科医生。由此可推知，内战为Dr Walker提供了展现自己的才能并获得认可的机会。故选C。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 61 16．Which of the following can best describe Dr Walker? A．Sensitive and professional. B．Courageous and determined. C．Intelligent and cooperative.

He'll be 23 in May. Last weekend we went for a walk and then went to the pub, where we discussed Bond films, favourite villains and favourite Bond girls. In the evening we had a family outing to a concert at Norwich Cathedral, and enjoyed it very much in our different ways. Today he's on a steam­train jaunt with friends. And yes, sure, he has Down's Syndrome (DS), but that's a medical term and I don't live with a medical term. I live with Eddie, and Eddie is not a syndrome. He has a personality, his likes and dislikes, his various passions and a taste for spectacular jokes. Some stuff makes him happy, other stuff upsets him. I trust this won't come as a shock, but he's a human being. 新高考外刊题组精练 64 He also enriches our lives and those of people around him. He tends to make places better and people richer ... in fact I sometimes think it would be better if we put the world under the control of people with Down's Syndrome, rather than the people who do the job now. Put briefly, Eddie is kind, funny, generous, understanding and always prepared to see the best in people. He has always been especially comforting to people in bereavement. I wouldn't presume to give advice to any potential parent, other than to point out that it's going to be much better than you hoped and far worse than you feared. The same is perhaps doubly true if the foetus (胎儿) has been diagnosed with Down's Syndrome. 新高考外刊题组精练 65 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的儿子虽然是一个唐氏综合征患者，但是作者却不认为他仅仅是一个病人。 篇章导读 新高考外刊题组精练 66 17．What does the author mean by saying “I don't live with a medical term. I live with Eddie”？ A．He doesn't acknowledge Eddie's medical condition. B．He sees Eddie as more than just a diagnosis. C．Eddie's medical condition doesn't affect his daily life. D．Eddie's syndrome is not severe enough to define him. 解析：推理判断题。 根据第二段中的“He has a personality ... but he's a human being.”可推知，这句话表达的是作者将Eddie (埃迪)视为一个具有个性和情感的人，而不仅仅是一个医学诊断。故选B。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 67 18．What is the author's attitude towards the idea of putting the world under the control of people with Down's Syndrome? A．Serious. B．Indifferent. C．Realistic. D．Exaggerating. 解析：推理判断题。第三段中的“I sometimes think it would be better if”和“rather than the people who do the job now”暗示了作者可能是在用一种夸张或幽默的方式来强调Eddie的积极品质，而非真正认为这是一个可行的建议。故选D。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 68 19．What advice does the author give to potential parents of children with Down's Syndrome? A．Be prepared for the worst. B．Avoid social interactions for their child. C．Expect the experience to be better than anticipated. D．Seek medical advice immediately. 解析：推理判断题。 根据最后一段中的“I wouldn't presume to give advice ... far worse than you feared.”可推知，作者对潜在唐氏综合征患儿父母的建议，即经历可能会比预期的好得多，但也可能比恐惧的要糟糕得多。故选C。 答案 解析 新高考外刊题组精练 69 20．What's the author's main message about Edmund Barnes? A．A typical DS young man. B．Unique human despite DS. C．Unsuitable for socializing.
