S. Open final to give her, at 19 years old, her first Grand Slam championship. “I’ ve never felt anything like that,” Gauff says. This is coming from a person who has bungee jumped off Sky Tower, New Zealand’s tallest building — twice. Gauff wants to feel that championship high again. “That’s the motivation that drives me,” she says. “I’m sure fame and fortune will come along. But I don’t really care about that. I just care about how many trophies (奖杯) I can get in my house.” The star failed in January 2024, when she lost in the semis of the Australian Open. But Gauff’s triumphs have already fulfilled the promise she first showed at 15 in 2019. Experts expected more titles from her sooner, but Gauff progressed at her own pace. “Being a black woman, in a sport that isn’t very diverse, means a lot to me,” she says. Her grandmother, who was the first black student at her high school in 1961, has shaped her view. After a black man’s murder in 2020, Gauff posted about the injustice on social media and spoke at a protest. “I felt I had to speak out. If you stay silent, you’ re supporting the abusers.” Gauff, who turned 20 in March 2024, told TIME, “It’s crazy to think that I’m not going to be a teenager anymore.” But she knows she’s still early in her journey. “At first, I was scared to grow up, but now I’m embracing adulthood. Change is always needed in this world. I hope Ican play a small part.” 1．What motivated Gauff to win more trophies? A．The pursuit of fame and fortune. B．The support from her grandmother.

She searched online for budgeting tips and money-saving strategies and soon discovered the world of cashback websites and loyalty programs, which she now uses regularly to save money on her everyday purchases. “I used to think that saving money meant giving up the things I enjoy,” Emma says. “But now I realize that with a little effort, I can still enjoy my favorite products and services while spending less. It’s all about being smart with your money.” Emma’s journey began in 2018 when she moved to a new city for work. Facing higher living costs, she decided to take control of her finances.

By collecting points every time she shops, she can exchange them for discounts or free products. “It’s a win-win situation,” she explains. “I get to save money while still buying the things I love.” “You don’t have to make huge changes to see a difference,” she says. “Even small savings can add up over time.

For those who have forgotten how to switch off and reconnect with ourselves, the Poetry Pharmacy (药房) may be what you can turn to. The Poetry Pharmacy isn't a typical bookstore or pharmacy. The bookstore part is arranged in sections based on the emotional stages of life, so people can browse and find a book that will lift their mood. All these sections match the pharmacy section's famous poetry therapies. Shelves lined with bottles of pills, each filled with capsules containing unique rolled-up poems. Customers can select from a variety of “prescription” pill bottles, including joy, hope, comfort, compassion and more. This revolutionary idea sparked from an ambulance in 2011 when Deborah Alma, the founder of the Poetry Pharmacy, then 47, decided to use poetry as a form of medicine. She became known as the “Emergency Poet” as she drove her ambulance around the country and provided first aid of the literary kind. Eight years later Alma turned her emergency literary services into a permanent store in Shropshire. In 2024, a second poetry pharmacy opened on London's Oxford Street, seeking to bring a little calm to the capital. Katie Dunstan, a published poet, has worked at the Poetry Pharmacy on Oxford Street since its opening. “People just absolutely love it, they come in and they're just like ‘Wow, I've never seen anything like this before’, ” she said. Dunstan loves poetry and how it can make you feel. “It's the truest way of expressing a feeling or emotion because it's so short and concise, and I suppose a poet's job is to condense a feeling into as few words as possible, ” she remarked. The Poetry Pharmacy is now taking off. Alma plans on expanding her shops but is happy at the minute with everything being locally sourced and supplied. 9．What can the Poetry Pharmacy offer to modern individuals? A．A platform to publish poems. B．An approach to self-reflection. C．A shelter from physical harm. D．An access to low-cost counseling. 10．What makes the pharmacy section unique?

One morning, I was urgently awakened by a friend informing me that heavy rain had caused flooding in our area. Outside, the scene was chaotic: families trapped on rooftops, children crying for help, and hospital patients being evacuated (疏散). My friends and I immediately joined the rescue efforts, distributing food to those affected. This experience had a profound impact on me, leading me to a new career path. I had initially pursued civil engineering, inspired by my dream of designing buildings. However, as my studies progressed, I became more interested in research. The flood clarified my direction. After volunteering in affected communities that summer, I decided to focus on natural disasters. I applied for a master’s program in development studies, a multidisciplinary (多学科的) course covering sustainable development, geography, and economics, with hands-on community projects. This decision greatly surprised my friends and family, who questioned why I was leaving engineering for social sciences. They worried about my job prospects, but I was determined to follow my passion. The program exposed me to projects helping communities plan for climate change, strengthening my belief in this path. I then applied for a Ph. D．, despite financial uncertainty and the challenge of switching fields. Many universities preferred candidates with consistent academic backgrounds, and I faced rejections and skepticism during interviews. However, one program accepted me, allowing me to study how better water resource management and policy can help vulnerable populations adapt to climate change uncertainties. Starting the Ph. D．was exciting but challenging. Now, three years into my program, I am confident in my decision. The challenges are worth it, as I can dive into an issue I care deeply about and potentially help people. My journey has taught me that following your heart, even on an unconventional path, is the right choice. 1．What does the writer want to show by mentioning the flood experience?

When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue, teal, and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at Martin Luther King Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis, became the target of laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to purchase him new clothes. Two of the kids piling on were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their negative words felt like bullying and seemed to be slowly breaking Todd’s spirit. Something finally clicked. “I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett hatched a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets. The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was understandably terrified about being called out by the larger boys. “He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham says. “I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give something to you to make it up.’” He then handed Todd a bulky bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers. Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told WATN-TV. “Shocked, completely.” And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham. “I’ve been bullied my entire life,” Todd told CBS News. Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he added, “The best day of my entire life, basically.” 5．What motivated Garrett and Graham to help Todd? A．They were touched by Todd’s strong will. B．They wanted to donate their unused clothes. C．They acknowledged the harm caused by their behavior.

It is written by Simon Mustoe for anyone concerned about the future of our planet. The clue to the purpose of the book is in the subtitle. Wildlife in the Balance: Why Animals Are Humanity’s Best Hope is a paper on the role that animals of all shapes, sizes and species play in maintaining Earth, creating and building a planet that’s fit for human survival. When he was in Raja Ampat, he spent a lot of time diving and working, and when someone asked him, “Why does a turtle matter?” The question lit something inside Mustoe, ultimately leading him to ask the same question of all animals on Earth — including humans. Why does an earthworm matter? Why does a sparrow matter?...Therefore, he wrote Wildlife in the Balance, a book that gives complex woven answers to these questions and is itself a solution to restoring balance to the planet. Mustoe’s experience in diverse ecosystems, as well as his scientific knowledge and insight, make every page in the book have “a-ha” moments. There’s also urgency throughout the text, and the need for immediate action is evidenced in the extraordinary scientific data that Mustoe includes from the disciplines of biology, zoology, ecology, conservation and beyond. One way in which Wildlife in the Balance is different from other conservation texts is Mustoe’s modest opinion on plants. While he acknowledges that there is “an urgency to protect nature”, Mustoe does not necessarily advocate for planting more trees. In fact, he says, there is more tree coverage now than 35 years ago. His focus is instead on the importance of returning animals to the remaining ecosystems. 9．What is Wildlife in the Balance aimed at? A．Showing various kinds of species. B．Recognizing human’s role on Earth. C．Asking for a more livable planet. D．Proving the importance of animals. 10．What does paragraph 3 talk about Simon’s book? A．The inspiration for it. B．The origin of its subtitle. C．His experience in Raja Ampat. D．His scientific knowledge and insight. 11．Which of the following can best describe Wildlife in the Balance? A．Colorful and imaginative. B．Insightful and informative. C．Detailed and moving. D．Vivid and humorous. 12．What does Mustoe suggest in the last paragraph? A．Plant trees to expand forests. B．Bring animals back to current ecosystems. C．Maintain animals’ populations. D．Balance the needs of humans and wildlife. 首段例证题3篇 【名师点津】 一、解题小妙招 1.首段举例引出话题居多。 2.提及细节成为佐证。 二、零失误小妙招 1.做题留痕，依据题干在原文圈划答题区间； 2.划掉错项，去伪存真，快速作答提升效率； 3.错题反思，专用笔记本记录错因举一反三。 【精准押题】 （2025·浙江宁波·二模）It is late at night. You wander empty streets, heart pounding, muscles tense, sensing danger nearby. Now imagine the same situation, but without these responses. Would you still feel afraid? Experiences like this unveil a profound truth: our minds are not just products of the brain but emerge from its constant dialogue with the body. At the heart of this connection is the vagus nerve (神经) — the body’s longest nerve. It winds its way from the brain throughout the head and trunk, issuing commands to our organs and receiving feelings from them. Much of the confusing range of functions it regulates are automatic and operate without conscious control. These complex responses engage a group of neural networks that link brain and body. The vagus nerve is, in one way of thinking, the conduit of the mind. The primary function of the vagus nerve is to dampen the body’s responses. After a fear episode, for example, the body’s powerful, life-saving threat response must be ended to restore resting heartbeat, breathing, blood flow and the rest. So powerful is its influence that the vagus nerve can literally stop the beating heart. Conversely, it can also stimulate bodily responses by releasing the brakes to accelerate. The vagus nerve is the biological basis for many new therapies (疗法) worldwide. However, some people have taken the vagus nerve’s wide-ranging bodily influence as an invitation to engage in false science. In some corners of the Internet, so-called polyvagal therapy—physical or breathing exercises that some claim reset the vagus nerve — is proposed to address just about any disorder of the mind or body. There’s little evidence that these popular therapies are anything but comfort. The vagus nerve doesn’t need to be a cure for everything — its worth appreciating all on its own. Neuroscientists compare the vagus to an orchestra conductor, harmonizing bodily systems to compose our conscious experience. Professor Linda Rinaman once said, “We’re not just brains in jars. Our thoughts and feelings are rooted in flesh and blood.” 1．How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A．By sharing a story. B．By creating a scene. C．By asking a question. D．By defining a concept. 2．What does the underlined word “conduit” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Channel. B．Product. C．Mirror. D．Nature. 3．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．The popularity of a biological treatment. B．The effectiveness of breathing exercises. C．The misuse of unproven nerve therapies. D．The evidence of vagus nerve’s functions. 4．What do Linda Rinaman’s words imply? A．Blood circulation determines our emotions. B．Physical health is unrelated to mental states. C．Body and mind interact to form experiences. D．Our brain stores feelings separate from body. （2025·山西·二模）Right now, I have three different water bottles sitting on my desk. My makeup table is so messy that it would take me at least three minutes to locate my lipstick. Under my bed I have bags, purses and who knows what else that I’ve forgotten about. Sound familiar? Be honest: How often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that advertisements made you buy did you actually need? Advertising, or marketing, often gets the blame for fueling wasteful consumption, and I can see why. It involves employing persuasive techniques to encourage an addictive behavior that results in repeat buying. Companies often advocate strategies such as limited-time discounts, promotions and coupons (优惠券). I’ve definitely fallen for them many times. A membership card is another effective form of marketing that increases the likelihood of returning customers. Since buying more will lead to the accumulation of loyalty points (积分), customers will return regularly to purchase items. When their loyalty points are about to expire, customers will return to buy more even if they do not need them. But here’s the thing: It’s not just advertising. The rise of inexpensive products made on a large scale has made it way too easy to live wastefully. These products are often affordable and non-durable so that they can be frequently replenished (补充) at low cost. I mean, how many of us have bought a trendy $10 shirt, only to throw it after a few wears? Similarly, fast furniture is generating massive waste as home owners turn to these cheap and stylish pieces of furniture that often do not last long. The faster buyers replenish their products, the more waste is created. As I sit here, surrounded by the mess and reflecting on my shopping habits, a realization has dawned on me. It is ultimately the choice of individuals who must decide what they should buy and not be influenced by advertising or submit to the temptation of cheap and trendy products. After all, there is just so much we can eat, wear or use. Maybe it’s time to think twice before clicking “add to cart”. 5．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By comparing different lifestyles. B．By relating to her own experience. C．By stressing her addiction to technology. D．By questioning the function of household items. 6．Why is advertising blamed for wasteful consumption according to paragraph 2? A．It forces people to buy large packages. B．It exposes people to constant disturbance. C．It tempts people to make repeat purchases. D．It misguides people with false information. 7．What does the author intend to say in the last paragraph? A．Trendy products need quality upgrades. B．Advertising content requires strict regulations. C．Social media platforms should set a limit to ads. D．Shopping decisions should be based on real needs. 8．Which is a suitable title for the text? A．Mass Production: From Trend to Trash B．Advertising: The Mastermind that Misleads Us C．What on Earth Drives Wasteful Consumption? D．Does Social Media Contribute to Repeat Buying? （2025·辽宁·模拟预测）Although humans domesticated cats nearly 12,000 years ago, your dear friend is still somewhat of a mystery. The idea that cats have night vision contributes to the mystery. Do cats have night vision? Not exactly. But they can see very well in low light. Cats’ large pupils, which are about 50% larger than humans’, allow more light into their eyes. This extra light helps them to see in the dark. People’s homes are rarely in complete darkness — there’s always a little light coming in from somewhere. Cats actually aren’t nocturnal (夜间活动的); they are creatures that hunt at dusk and dawn, the time of day when many other animals to be hunted become more active. How well do cats see in the dark? Much better than their pet parents. A human’s round pupils are no match for their pupils. Observe your cats: Their pupils will become narrower in the bright sunlight and then become wider in the dark. A cat’s vision is very powerful because of the strategic shape and movement of their eyes. They also see the world mostly in shades of gray, which is perfect for low light. “A cat has the capacity to differentiate the intensity of light falling on its retina (视网膜) 135 times, compared to 10 times in a human, with a circular pupil,” Dr. Richard E. Goldstein, chief medical officer at the Animal Medical Center in New York City, tells The New York Times. In other words, their pupils give cats a big advantage over the humans when it comes to seeing in the dark because they’re much more effective at responding to how light enters their eyes. But you still have one visual advantage over your friend: Humans have better clearness of vision than cats, reports Business Insider. You can see more clearly than your little friend, but cats win when it comes to night vision. With your combined visual abilities, you and your cat make the perfect team. 9．What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To introduce the topic. B．To draw a conclusion. C．To explain a phenomenon. D．To illustrate the background. 10．What can we learn about cats? A．They can hardly stimulate our curiosity. B．They can see clearly even in full darkness. C．They have eyes fifty percent bigger than humans. D．They prefer to hunt at dawn rather than at night. 11．Why do cats see better than humans in the dark? A．Cats can brighten their eyes at night. B．Cats are masters in reacting to incoming light. C．Pupils of cats are larger and more adjustable to light. D．Shape of cats’ eyes helps them see gray better. 12．How does the author explain the findings in paragraph 5? A．By referring to experts’ words. B．By making comparisons. C．By giving examples. D．By introducing a concept. 找共同点题3篇 【名师点津】 一、解题小妙招 1.结构法：如果属于“总分总”结构，多从“总处”找依据； 2.排除法：可以运用排除法，只要一项不合要求就应该排除； 3.关键词法：依据题干圈划相应的关键词语，据此知道答案。 二、零失误小妙招 1.做题留痕，依据题干在原文圈划答题区间； 2.划掉错项，去伪存真，快速作答提升效率； 3.错题反思，专用笔记本记录错因举一反三。 【精准押题】 （2025·辽宁·二模）Four Must-see Night Sky Events in 2025 In the upcoming year, stargazers can anticipate a range of heavenly wonders to get excited for. Saturn and Venus joint On January 18, two neighboring worlds of Venus and Saturn will appear less than half a degree apart in the sky, about 30 — 45 minutes after sunset. Venus, the brighter, will shine a brilliant red, with Saturn next to it appearing more golden. Though you will be able to see both with the naked eye, binoculars will enhance the view. Lunar eclipse (月食) and blood moon During a lunar eclipse, one in 2022 seen in Portugal, light casts a burning glow on the moon’s surface in the early morning hours of March 14, lasting from 2:26 a.m. to 3:31 a.m. Stargazers can get a great view of the “blood moon” across the Americas, weather permitting. Partial solar eclipse The sky shifting from deep blue at the top, to burning reds on the horizon, the solar eclipse coming March 29, 2025, will have the sun appear as a new moon. Visible across large parts of North America, Europe, and Asia, the event begins at 4:50 a.m. At 6:47 a.m., the largest part of the sun will be shaded by the moon. Moon and Mercury meet up Mercury is tricky to spot because of its closeness to the sun.

Anti-Atlas Mountains Extending from the Atlantic coast to the edge of the Sahara and with a huge variety of terrain, the Anti-Atlas Mountains cater for even the most indecisive traveller. Above all, Anti-Atlas is agadir country (the word means wall) . The landscape is dotted with these remarkable walls. Built from stone and clay, they were typically set on hilltops or cliffs to provide protection from attack. The Mediterranean coast Unlike Morocco’s Atlantic coast, the country’s Mediterranean coastline is a less well-known destination. Of all the beaches in this area, Plage Ihttpye n is the best. Hidden from view behind two enormous red cliffs east of Port Sidi Hsaïn, and accessible only by a steep rocky path, it’s an incredible peaceful and picturesque spot, with crystalline waves lapping against the pebble shore and curious rock formations rising from the waves. Agadir Founded in the 16th century by the Portuguese, Agadir quickly became a booming trading post, growing rich on the profits of sugar and spices. In 1960, an earthquake destroyed most of the city and paved the way for its rebirth as a tourist resort. This is the place if you’re seeking sun, sand and surf; the coastline around Agadir is the heartland of Morocco’s surf scene and you don’t have to look far to discover quieter surfing beaches. Merzouga Located at the edge of the Sahara’s shifting sands, Merzouga has become one of the main desert centers for travellers. The drive there involves a dramatic journey over high mountains and remote river valleys, a panorama (全景) outshone only by the view at the end of the road: the soaring dunes of Erg Chebbi stand in magnificence on the horizon. Climb to the top of the 150-metre-high dunes after the winter rains and you can gaze down on to Merzouga Lake, a watering hole frequented by a colony of flamingos (火烈鸟) and occasional camel herders. 4．What do we know about the Anti-Atlas Mountains? A．They serve as a trade center. B．They overlook the Arctic Ocean. C．They feature defensive structures. D．They attract desert enthusiasts. 5．What do Agadir and Merzouga have in common? A．Peaceful coastline views. B．Unique animal experiences. C．Beautiful natural scenery. D．Magnificent desert dunes. 6．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A travel magazine. B．A marine study.

It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs? For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C． , has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that? To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.” 1．Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger? A．To express his sorrow for the loss. B．To stress the high risk of space flights. C．To show the result of wrong operation. D．To give an example of overconfidence. 2．What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research? A．It urged students to gain recognition. B．It encouraged students to take exams. C．It helped students to adjust learning methods. D．It motivated students to memorize knowledge. 3．What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5? A．Fully mastered a subject. B．Put great effort into a subject C．Really enjoyed a subject. D．Benefited a lot from a subject. 4．What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs? A．Why questioning our belief is hard. B．Why intellectual humility is helpful. C．How to become a confident person. D．How to practice intellectual humility. （24-25高三上·湖南长沙·阶段练习）Do you always think through possibilities before committing to even the smallest choices like what to wear, which menu item to pick, and when to do house chores? If this sounds like you, you’re among many indecisive people who struggle with those issues. But are decisive people better at making decisions than indecisive people? A recent study has cast light on that. The starting point of the recent study into the differences between decisive and indecisive people was finding a reliable way of distinguishing participants. The research team used the Action Control Scale, a yes or no questionnaire about everyday choices and behavior, to reveal whether a person is action - or state-oriented. Action-oriented people are more decisive and likely to take action. They are more flexible and likely to carry out their intentions in the face of challenges. By contrast, state-oriented people focus on their emotional states. They are more hesitant to commit to their choices, and abandon their commitments more frequently. Researchers surveyed 723 people, from whom they chose the 60 most action-oriented and the 60 most state-oriented to take part in the main experiments. The participants went through a set of cognitive tasks, with low-risk choices. The team conducted a comparison of several cognitive processes between the two groups including evidence- processing speed, decision caution, initial bias (how much the choice is influenced by known knowledge), and sensitivity (how accurately you can judge the correctness of your choice). By examining these cognitive processes, researchers aimed to gain insights into the decision-making abilities and tendencies of the two groups. They found that across all the experiments, action-oriented people were more confident in their choices. However, there were no divergences in correctness, speed, or sensitivity. Meanwhile, indecisive people were in no way worse at making choices. Being less or more confident of the choice that has been made cannot affect the outcome. It can however influence future ones. State-oriented people are less confident of whether the choice is right, and it will possibly make pursuing their goals a much greater challenge. 5．What’s the purpose of the study? A．To tell decisive participants from indecisive ones. B．To find out what makes people indecisive or decisive. C．To clarify the importance and benefit of being decisive. D．To study whether decisive people are better decision makers. 6．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A．Add some background information. B．Introduce a new topic for discussion. C．Summarize the previous paragraphs. D．Provide some advice for the readers. 7．What does the underlined word “divergences” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Assignments. B．Connections. C．Distinctions. D．Comparisons. 8．What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A．The critical factor behind different choices. B．The correct way to be more confident. C．The benefits gained by state-oriented people. D．The influence of the confidence gap in the future. （2025·江苏无锡·一模）Vaping (抽电子烟) damages young people’ s lungs as much as smoking, according to a research that has caused fresh debate over the health risks of e-cigarettes. The study compared vapers and smokers in an intense exercise test and found both groups less fit and much more out of breath than people who have neither habit. Dr. Azmy Faisal and colleagues at Manchester Metropolitan University asked 60 people in their 20s to have their lung capacity recorded. Twenty were non-smokers, 20 others had vaped for at least two years and the other 20 had smoked for at least two years. The test measured the maximum amount of physical exercise that someone could achieve, and found that the vapers had an average “peak exercise capacity”, which, at 186 watts, was similar to that of the smokers (182 watts) but much lower than that among the non-smokers (226 watts). In addition, the vapers and smokers were less able to take in oxygen — at 2.7 litres and 2.6 litres a minute respectively — than those who neither smoked nor vaped (3 litres). “The study adds to growing evidence that long-term use of vaping is detrimental and challenges the idea that vaping could be a healthier alternative to smoking”, said Faisal and his co-authors of the study. Medical researchers have also found evidence that vaping increases the risk of cancer, because it changes their DNA, and also that it may damage the brain and vital organs because e-cigarette aerosols (气溶胶) and liquids can contain traces of poisonous metals such as lead and uranium. Dr. Filippos Filippidis, Chairman of the ERS’s tobacco control committee, said, “Vapes are being sold cheaply and in a variety of flavours to appeal to young people.” Doctors and policymakers need to know about the risks of vaping and we should be doing all we can to help children and young people to avoid or quit vaping. 9．How is Faisal’s research conducted? A．By measuring oxygen intake in the blood. B．By recording exercise capacities at different ages. C．By comparing health conditions in different exercises. D．By analyzing lung capacities among different groups. 10．What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Harmful. B．Mysterious. C．Unimportant. D．Unpredictable. 11．What can be inferred from the text? A．Vaping will soon be completely banned. B．More people will start vaping in the future. C．Health risks of vaping haven’t been understood by all. D．Strict rules will be made to regulate the price of vaping products. 12．What might be discussed in the following paragraph? A．The history and development of vaping products. B．The comparison between different e-cigarette brands. C．Specific measures to help young people to quit vaping. D．Different opinions of young people who vape regularly. 文章出处题3篇 【名师点津】 一、解题小妙招 “推断文章出处”类试题应从文章的内容或结构入手来判断其出处： 研究报告类文章(a research paper)：此类文章重点介绍科技领域最新研究成果：新发现、新思想、新发明。第一段概括介绍，然后分段陈述。文章结构严谨，语言规范，句式复杂。 图书评论类文章(a book review)：书评、影评类文章涉及到作者介绍，内容梗概、人物性格评论，写作特色以及个人好恶等内容。 广告英语类文章(an advertisement)：现代生活中广告无处不在，英语阅读理解也是如此。有时会考查微型海报、通知、启示、时刻表、图表等。 科普杂志类文章(a science magazine)：此类文章内容广泛，涉及到日常生活习惯、健康饮食、太空与海洋、创造与发明、计算机发展、人类未来、动物世界等。其重点是普及科学知识，提高科学素养。 教材课本类文章(a geography textbook)：此类文章内容比较正式，语言规范，往往涉及到学科术语、专业性词汇、概念、理论等。 课件展示类文章(a class presentation)：此类文章往往紧扣主题，口语性强、语言活泼，形式新颖，伴随有图片、图表、文字介绍等信息。 网络网页类文章(an Internet page)：此类文章往往会提供超级链接标志，如For more information, please click here. 二、零失误小妙招 1.做题留痕，依据题干在原文圈划答题区间； 2.划掉错项，去伪存真，快速作答提升效率； 3.错题反思，专用笔记本记录错因举一反三。 【精准押题】 （24-25高三下·江西·阶段练习）With the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, OpenAI’s chatbot attracted 100 million users within weeks. Investors also piled in. Yet across the economy, only 5% of American businesses say they are using AI in their products and services. Few AI businesses are turning a profit. Despite the disparity between investor enthusiasm and business reality, the race is on to make it more efficient and more useful. Yet several things are slowing AI development. Training big models needs huge amounts of energy. The electricity used to train GPT-4 could have powered 5,000 American homes for a year. Developing ever larger models thus requires deeper pockets. Meanwhile, there is a shortage of training data. Companies worldwide are coming up with clever fixes to these problems, from more efficient and specialized chips to smaller models that need less power. Others are dreaming up ways of tapping new, high-quality data sources such as textbooks for use in training. Whether these will lead to improvements in the technology is still unclear. For end users of AI, a different kind of struggle is underway, as individuals and companies try to work out how best to use the technology. As the technology becomes more advanced, adoption may accelerate. But culture also matters. Much use of AI is in secret, as workers use it to streamline tasks such as rewriting text or generating reports. Employees may worry that if they admit to using AI to get things done more quickly, bosses will give them more work to do, or take this as a signal that fewer workers are needed. This in turn suggests that AI adoption is as much a management challenge as a technological one. To get the most out of the technology, bosses need to create an open environment. The AI race will take many forms in 2025, yet the point about which investors are doubtful is often when new technologies quietly start gaining force. Will the bubble burst, or will the technology start to deliver? The answer in 2025 may be a bit of both. 1．What does the underlined word “disparity” in Para.2 mean? A．Distance. B．Formation. C．Replacement. D．Connection. 2．How do companies reduce electricity consumption? A．By getting government funds. B．By trading data for power. C．By building smaller models. D．By developing new power sources. 3．What is considered as a solution to the management challenge? A．Removing the cultural barrier for AI design. B．Replacing human workers with AI assistants. C．Finding high-quality data sources for training. D．Creating an open environment for adopting AI. 4．Where is the text probably taken from? A．An economic report. B．A science report. C．A lifestyle magazine. D．A career guidebook. （24-25高三上·吉林长春·阶段练习）With Britain’s persistently wet weather, holding an umbrella over one’s head can often lead to a painful arm, but an inventor, who is also a netizen, may have a solution — a flying umbrella that follows the user around in the rain. The homemade device includes an adapted yellow shop-bought umbrella and 3D printed components with propellers (螺旋桨) on the end. The new invention is the work of an engineer behind the “I Build Stuff” online channel. The young engineer points out that other attempts have been made to make a flying umbrella in the past. But they’ve gone wrong largely because the propellers have been in the wrong place — attached to the handle or above the canopy (遮篷), which leaves no space for the air to flow. Therefore, for his flying umbrella, he attached the propellers so that they were sticking out from the sides of the canopy. It includes a central X-shaped frame of four arms made out of carbon fibre, which is both strong and light. Each of the arms has a propeller and motor at the end, making the device look like a cross between an umbrella and a drone. Building the device took months and included a major setback due to badly soldered (焊接) wires, but eventually it was ready for a test run. “This thing actually shields me from the rain… it wasn’t raining that hard, but I think this thing can stand much harsher conditions, just probably not stronger winds,” he says. Unfortunately, the user still has to control the umbrella with a two-handed remote to ensure it stays above the head — leaving little room to carry your shopping. However, the inventor now plans on making a better version. “In the future I could attach a camera to the underside and write a programme that tracks my position and moves my umbrella accordingly,” he adds. 5．Why did the inventor develop the flying umbrella? A．To show his engineering skills. B．To reduce arms’ pain on rainy days. C．To attend the online channel. D．To facilitate people’s daily travel. 6．What made the invention of the flying umbrella possible? A．Investment in advanced equipment. B．Guidance from experienced engineers. C．Lessons from the previous failures. D．Improvement of propellers’ quality. 7．What can we expect of the flying umbrellas in the future? A．It can help carry some goods. B．It can replace the traditional umbrella. C．It can resist stronger winds. D．It can track people automatically. 8．Where is the text most probably taken from? A．An advertisement for an online program. B．A guidebook to an umbrella. C．An introduction to a new invention. D．A research report on the weather. （24-25高三上·广东·开学考试）Weekend trips in Europe can be a truly magical experience, from the sunny beaches of Greece to the rolling hills of Italy.

S. Open final to give her, at 19 years old, her first Grand Slam championship. “I’ ve never felt anything like that,” Gauff says. This is coming from a person who has bungee jumped off Sky Tower, New Zealand’s tallest building — twice. Gauff wants to feel that championship high again. “That’s the motivation that drives me,” she says. “I’m sure fame and fortune will come along. But I don’t really care about that. I just care about how many trophies (奖杯) I can get in my house.” The star failed in January 2024, when she lost in the semis of the Australian Open. But Gauff’s triumphs have already fulfilled the promise she first showed at 15 in 2019. Experts expected more titles from her sooner, but Gauff progressed at her own pace. “Being a black woman, in a sport that isn’t very diverse, means a lot to me,” she says. Her grandmother, who was the first black student at her high school in 1961, has shaped her view. After a black man’s murder in 2020, Gauff posted about the injustice on social media and spoke at a protest. “I felt I had to speak out. If you stay silent, you’ re supporting the abusers.” Gauff, who turned 20 in March 2024, told TIME, “It’s crazy to think that I’m not going to be a teenager anymore.” But she knows she’s still early in her journey. “At first, I was scared to grow up, but now I’m embracing adulthood. Change is always needed in this world. I hope Ican play a small part.” 1．What motivated Gauff to win more trophies? A．The pursuit of fame and fortune. B．The support from her grandmother. C．The joy of winning the championship. D．The desire to change the tennis world. 2．What was Gauff’s reaction after a black man’s murder in 2020? A．She organized a protest.

B．Coco Gauff: Overcoming Fear in Adulthood. C．Coco Gauff: The Road to Grand Slam Glory. D．Coco Gauff: Tennis Success and Social Voice. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了网球运动员可可・高夫的故事，包括她获得大满贯冠军的经历、激励她的动力、她在社会事件中的发声以及对成长的看法。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Gauff wants to feel that championship high again. “That’s the motivation that drives me,” she says.(高夫希望再次感受到那种夺冠的兴奋。“这就是驱使我的动力”她说)” 可知，激励高夫赢得更多奖杯的是夺冠的喜悦。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“After a black man’s murder in 2020, Gauff posted about the injustice on social media and spoke at a protest.(2020 年一名黑人被谋杀后，高夫在社交媒体上发布了关于这一不公正事件的内容，并在一次抗议活动中发言)” 可知，2020 年一名黑人被谋杀后，高夫公开表达了自己的观点。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段“This is coming from a person who has bungee jumped off Sky Tower, New Zealand’s tallest building—twice.(这来自一个两次从新西兰最高的建筑天空塔上蹦极的人)” 可推知，高夫很勇敢，即 fearless（无畏的）；再根据第四段“After a black man’s murder in 2020, Gauff posted about the injustice on social media and spoke at a protest. “I felt I had to speak out.

S. Open final to give her, at 19 years old, her first Grand Slam championship.(可可・高夫永远不会忘记 2023 年 9 月在美国网球公开赛决赛中，她的反手制胜球飞过对手时的那种喜悦，19 岁的她赢得了第一个大满贯冠军)” 以及后续段落中关于她在网球领域的表现和追求，可知文章讲述了她在网球上的成功。再根据第四段“After a black man’s murder in 2020, Gauff posted about the injustice on social media and spoke at a protest.(2020 年一名黑人被谋杀后，高夫在社交媒体上发布了关于这一不公正事件的内容，并在一次抗议活动中发言)” 可知，文章还提及了她在社会事件中的发声。所以选项 D“可・高夫：网球成功与社会声音”为短文最佳标题。故选D。 （2025·辽宁·二模）Emma Carter, a 28-year-old fashion designer, first started exploring ways to reduce her expenses when she realized her monthly spending was higher than her income.

For those who have forgotten how to switch off and reconnect with ourselves, the Poetry Pharmacy (药房) may be what you can turn to. The Poetry Pharmacy isn't a typical bookstore or pharmacy. The bookstore part is arranged in sections based on the emotional stages of life, so people can browse and find a book that will lift their mood. All these sections match the pharmacy section's famous poetry therapies. Shelves lined with bottles of pills, each filled with capsules containing unique rolled-up poems. Customers can select from a variety of “prescription” pill bottles, including joy, hope, comfort, compassion and more. This revolutionary idea sparked from an ambulance in 2011 when Deborah Alma, the founder of the Poetry Pharmacy, then 47, decided to use poetry as a form of medicine. She became known as the “Emergency Poet” as she drove her ambulance around the country and provided first aid of the literary kind. Eight years later Alma turned her emergency literary services into a permanent store in Shropshire. In 2024, a second poetry pharmacy opened on London's Oxford Street, seeking to bring a little calm to the capital. Katie Dunstan, a published poet, has worked at the Poetry Pharmacy on Oxford Street since its opening. “People just absolutely love it, they come in and they're just like ‘Wow, I've never seen anything like this before’, ” she said. Dunstan loves poetry and how it can make you feel. “It's the truest way of expressing a feeling or emotion because it's so short and concise, and I suppose a poet's job is to condense a feeling into as few words as possible, ” she remarked. The Poetry Pharmacy is now taking off. Alma plans on expanding her shops but is happy at the minute with everything being locally sourced and supplied. 9．What can the Poetry Pharmacy offer to modern individuals? A．A platform to publish poems. B．An approach to self-reflection. C．A shelter from physical harm. D．An access to low-cost counseling. 10．What makes the pharmacy section unique? A．Medicines sold with books. B．Books sorted by emotion. C．Poem-filled capsules in bottles. D．Hand-written prescriptions. 11．Which of the following best describes Alma? A．Reserved and kind. B．Positive and adventurous. C．Optimistic and easy-going. D．Innovative and competent. 12．What's the public's response to the Poetry Pharmacy? A．Strong criticism and rejection.

Customers can select from a variety of “prescription” pill bottles, including joy, hope, comfort, compassion and more(架子上摆满了药瓶，每个药瓶里都装着胶囊，胶囊里装着独特的卷起的诗歌。顾客可以从各种“处方”药瓶中选择，包括快乐、希望、安慰、同情等等)”可知，药房部分的独特之处在于瓶子里装着有诗歌的胶囊。故选C项。 11．推理判断题。根据第三段“This revolutionary idea sparked from an ambulance in 2011 when Deborah Alma, the founder of the Poetry Pharmacy, then 47, decided to use poetry as a form of medicine(2011年，“诗歌药房” 的创始人Deborah Alma当时47岁，她在一辆救护车上萌生了这个革命性的想法，决定将诗歌作为一种药物形式)”可知，她想出了独特的“诗歌药房”的理念，可推理出她有创新精神。再根据“Eight years later Alma turned her emergency literary services into a permanent store in Shropshire. In 2024, a second poetry pharmacy opened on London's Oxford Street, seeking to bring a little calm to the capital(八年后，Alma将她的紧急文学服务变成了什罗普郡的一家永久性商店。2024年，第二家“诗歌药房”在伦敦牛津街开业，试图为首都带来一丝宁静)”可知，她成功地将想法付诸实践并扩大了业务，可推理出她很有能力。故选D项。 12．推理判断题。根据第四段“Katie Dunstan, a published poet, has worked at the Poetry Pharmacy on Oxford Street since its opening. “People just absolutely love it, they come in and they're just like ‘Wow, I've never seen anything like this before’, ” she said(已出版诗集的诗人Katie Dunstan从牛津街的“诗歌药房”开业起就在那里工作。她说：“人们非常喜欢它，他们进来后就会说‘哇，我以前从未见过这样的东西’。”)”可知，人们非常喜欢“诗歌药房”，对“诗歌药房”充满热情并感到惊奇。故选C项。 事件评价题3篇 【名师点津】 “事件评价题”的最优处理方法： 第一、先整体把握人物经历、产品性能及文章主题，多为弘扬“真善美”主旋律主题。 第二、结合题干锁定原文答题区间，圈划关键词句，尤其是动词和形容词，注意提炼态度倾向。 第三、比对选项形容词的褒贬性，多为并列型，一对一错，采用“排除法”，去伪存真确定答案。 【精准押题】 （2025·湖南永州·三模）During my undergraduate years in Kerala, India, a severe flood changed my life. One morning, I was urgently awakened by a friend informing me that heavy rain had caused flooding in our area. Outside, the scene was chaotic: families trapped on rooftops, children crying for help, and hospital patients being evacuated (疏散). My friends and I immediately joined the rescue efforts, distributing food to those affected. This experience had a profound impact on me, leading me to a new career path. I had initially pursued civil engineering, inspired by my dream of designing buildings. However, as my studies progressed, I became more interested in research. The flood clarified my direction. After volunteering in affected communities that summer, I decided to focus on natural disasters. I applied for a master’s program in development studies, a multidisciplinary (多学科的) course covering sustainable development, geography, and economics, with hands-on community projects. This decision greatly surprised my friends and family, who questioned why I was leaving engineering for social sciences. They worried about my job prospects, but I was determined to follow my passion. The program exposed me to projects helping communities plan for climate change, strengthening my belief in this path. I then applied for a Ph. D．, despite financial uncertainty and the challenge of switching fields. Many universities preferred candidates with consistent academic backgrounds, and I faced rejections and skepticism during interviews. However, one program accepted me, allowing me to study how better water resource management and policy can help vulnerable populations adapt to climate change uncertainties. Starting the Ph. D．was exciting but challenging. Now, three years into my program, I am confident in my decision. The challenges are worth it, as I can dive into an issue I care deeply about and potentially help people. My journey has taught me that following your heart, even on an unconventional path, is the right choice. 1．What does the writer want to show by mentioning the flood experience? A．The urgency of rescue efforts. B．The necessity of distributing food. C．Its significant effect on his career path. D．Its disastrous consequences for the residents. 2．How did the writer’s friends and family feel about his career decision? A．They felt happy and proud. B．They felt angry and confused. C．They felt doubtful and dismissive. D．They felt shocked and concerned. 3．Which of the following best describes the writer's application process for a Ph. D．? A．Eventful. B．Unbearable. C．Delightful. D．Effortless. 4．What can we learn from the text? A．Challenges are unavoidable. B．We should think before we act. C．We should pursue our dreams despite conventions. D．Following others’ advice helps make right decisions. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在印度喀拉拉邦读本科时，一场严重的洪水改变其职业道路的经历。作者从最初的土木工程专业，转向研究自然灾害，并坚定地在这条道路上追求梦想。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“This experience had a profound impact on me, leading me to a new career path.

When the other kids began to notice that he was wearing the same black pants and blue, teal, and gray long-sleeve shirt day after day, Todd, a freshman at Martin Luther King Jr. College Preparatory High School in Memphis, became the target of laughter. But there was little Todd could do. His mother simply couldn’t afford to purchase him new clothes. Two of the kids piling on were Antwan Garrett and Kristopher Graham, a pair of freshman football players. But over time, they realized that their negative words felt like bullying and seemed to be slowly breaking Todd’s spirit. Something finally clicked. “I felt like I needed to do something,” Graham told CBS News. So he and Garrett hatched a plan. They went home and hunted through their own drawers and closets. The next day at school, they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall. Todd was understandably terrified about being called out by the larger boys. “He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham says. “I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give something to you to make it up.’” He then handed Todd a bulky bag. Inside were clean shirts and shorts, plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers. Todd was blown away. “I was very happy,” he told WATN-TV. “Shocked, completely.” And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham. “I’ve been bullied my entire life,” Todd told CBS News. Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he added, “The best day of my entire life, basically.” 5．What motivated Garrett and Graham to help Todd? A．They were touched by Todd’s strong will. B．They wanted to donate their unused clothes. C．They acknowledged the harm caused by their behavior. D．They discovered Todd’s family was struggling financially. 6．How did Garrett and Graham help Todd? A．They collected clothes from classmates. B．They criticized other bullies in the hall. C．They helped improve his fashion sense. D．They restored his dignity through support. 7．Which of the following best describes Todd’s personality? A．Courageous. B．Forgiving. C．Sensitive. D．Responsible. 8．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The Shirts Off Their Backs B．From Bystanders to Friends C．You Are What You Dress D．Stand Up, Speak Out, Stop Bullying 【答案】5．C 6．D 7．B 8．A 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Michael Todd因为家境贫困没有衣服替换经常被嘲笑，Graham和Garrett后来意识到这是不对的，于是给Todd送衣服和鞋，帮助他的故事。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段““He wasn’t smiling or anything, and I was like, ‘I think this is going to make you smile,’” Graham says. “I told him, ‘We’re in the same third period, and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give something to you to make it up.’”(格雷厄姆说：“他没有笑，我就说，‘我想这会让你笑的。’我告诉他，‘我们在同一个第三节课，我为嘲笑你而道歉，我想给你一些东西来弥补。’”)”可知，加勒特和格雷厄姆帮助托德的动机是他们承认自己的行为造成了伤害。故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And Todd got much more than a new wardrobe. He no longer sits alone at lunch. Now he eats with his new friends, Garrett and Graham.(托德得到的远不止一个新衣橱。他不再独自坐着吃午饭。现在他和他的新朋友加勒特和格雷厄姆一起吃饭)”可知，加勒特和格雷厄姆通过支持帮助恢复了托德的尊严。故选D。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段““I’ve been bullied my entire life,” Todd told CBS News. Reflecting on the day Garrett and Graham called him into the hall, he added, “The best day of my entire life, basically.”(托德告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻频道说：“我一生都被欺负。回想起加勒特和格雷厄姆把他叫进大厅的那天，他补充说，“基本上是我一生中最美好的一天。”)”可知，托德原谅了欺负自己的人。由此推知，他的性格宽容。故选B。 8．主旨大意题。根据文章讲述了Michael Todd因为家境贫困没有衣服替换经常被嘲笑，Graham和Garrett后来意识到这是不对的，于是给Todd送衣服和鞋，帮助他的故事。由此可知，A选项“倾囊相助，尽力帮忙”最符合文章标题。故选A。 （2025高三下·全国·专题练习）Diving from scientific concepts to personal stories to an overview of the evolution of Earth, Wildlife in the Balance moves swiftly from macro (宏观的) investigations of whole ecosystems down to microcosmic (微观的) stories of tiny species and close relationships within their ecosystems. It is written by Simon Mustoe for anyone concerned about the future of our planet. The clue to the purpose of the book is in the subtitle. Wildlife in the Balance: Why Animals Are Humanity’s Best Hope is a paper on the role that animals of all shapes, sizes and species play in maintaining Earth, creating and building a planet that’s fit for human survival. When he was in Raja Ampat, he spent a lot of time diving and working, and when someone asked him, “Why does a turtle matter?” The question lit something inside Mustoe, ultimately leading him to ask the same question of all animals on Earth — including humans. Why does an earthworm matter? Why does a sparrow matter?...Therefore, he wrote Wildlife in the Balance, a book that gives complex woven answers to these questions and is itself a solution to restoring balance to the planet. Mustoe’s experience in diverse ecosystems, as well as his scientific knowledge and insight, make every page in the book have “a-ha” moments. There’s also urgency throughout the text, and the need for immediate action is evidenced in the extraordinary scientific data that Mustoe includes from the disciplines of biology, zoology, ecology, conservation and beyond. One way in which Wildlife in the Balance is different from other conservation texts is Mustoe’s modest opinion on plants. While he acknowledges that there is “an urgency to protect nature”, Mustoe does not necessarily advocate for planting more trees. In fact, he says, there is more tree coverage now than 35 years ago. His focus is instead on the importance of returning animals to the remaining ecosystems. 9．What is Wildlife in the Balance aimed at? A．Showing various kinds of species. B．Recognizing human’s role on Earth. C．Asking for a more livable planet. D．Proving the importance of animals. 10．What does paragraph 3 talk about Simon’s book? A．The inspiration for it. B．The origin of its subtitle. C．His experience in Raja Ampat. D．His scientific knowledge and insight. 11．Which of the following can best describe Wildlife in the Balance? A．Colorful and imaginative. B．Insightful and informative. C．Detailed and moving. D．Vivid and humorous. 12．What does Mustoe suggest in the last paragraph? A．Plant trees to expand forests. B．Bring animals back to current ecosystems. C．Maintain animals’ populations. D．Balance the needs of humans and wildlife. 【答案】9．D 10．A 11．B 12．B 【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了Simon Mustoe 的《平衡中的野生动物》，包括其内容、写作风格等。 9．推理判断题。 根据第二段“The clue to the purpose of the book is in the subtitle. Wildlife in the Balance: Why Animals Are Humanity’s Best Hope is a paper on the role that animals of all shapes, sizes and species play in maintaining Earth, creating and building a planet that’s fit for human survival. (这本书的写作目的线索就在副标题中。《野生动物平衡：为什么动物是人类最大的希望》是一篇论文，探讨了各种形状、大小和种类的动物在维护地球、创造和建设一个适合人类生存的星球方面所扮演的角色)”可知，这本书的副标题点明了写作目的，即探讨动物在维护地球、创造和建设适合人类生存的星球方面所扮演的角色，也就是证明动物的重要性。故选D。 10．推理判断题。根据第三段“When he was in Raja Ampat, he spent a lot of time diving and working, and when someone asked him, ‘Why does a turtle matter?’ The question lit something inside Mustoe, ultimately leading him to ask the same question of all animals on Earth—including humans. Why does an earthworm matter? Why does a sparrow matter?...Therefore, he wrote Wildlife in the Balance, a book that gives complex woven answers to these questions and is itself a solution to restoring balance to the planet. (当他在四王群岛时，他花了很多时间潜水和工作，当有人问他：“为什么一只海龟很重要？”这个问题点燃了Mustoe内心的某种东西，最终促使他向地球上所有动物——包括人类——提出同样的问题。为什么一条蚯蚓很重要？为什么一只麻雀很重要？……因此，他写了《野生动物平衡》一书，该书对这些复杂交织的问题给出了答案，本身就是恢复地球平衡的一种解决方案)”可知，第三段谈论的是Mustoe写这本书的灵感来源。故选A。 11．推理判断题。根据第四段“Mustoe’s experience in diverse ecosystems, as well as his scientific knowledge and insight, make every page in the book have ‘a-ha’ moments. There’s also urgency throughout the text, and the need for immediate action is evidenced in the extraordinary scientific data that Mustoe includes from the disciplines of biology, zoology, ecology, conservation and beyond. (穆斯托在多样化生态系统中的经验，以及他的科学知识和洞察力，使书中的每一页都充满了“顿悟”时刻。全书还贯穿了一种紧迫感，穆斯托从生物学、动物学、生态学、保护学等多个学科中引用的非凡科学数据，充分证明了立即采取行动的必要性)”可知，这本书富有洞察力且信息丰富。故选 B。 12．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While he acknowledges that there is “an urgency to protect nature”, Mustoe does not necessarily advocate for planting more trees. In fact, he says, there is more tree coverage now than 35 years ago. His focus is instead on the importance of returning animals to the remaining ecosystems. (虽然他承认“保护自然刻不容缓”，但穆斯托并不一定主张种植更多的树木。事实上，他表示，现在的森林覆盖率比35年前更高。他更关注的是将动物重新引入现存生态系统的重要性)”可知，穆斯托建议让动物回归到现存的生态系统中。故选B。 首段例证题3篇 【名师点津】 一、解题小妙招 1.首段举例引出话题居多。 2.提及细节成为佐证。 二、零失误小妙招 1.做题留痕，依据题干在原文圈划答题区间； 2.划掉错项，去伪存真，快速作答提升效率； 3.错题反思，专用笔记本记录错因举一反三。 【精准押题】 （2025·浙江宁波·二模）It is late at night. You wander empty streets, heart pounding, muscles tense, sensing danger nearby. Now imagine the same situation, but without these responses. Would you still feel afraid? Experiences like this unveil a profound truth: our minds are not just products of the brain but emerge from its constant dialogue with the body. At the heart of this connection is the vagus nerve (神经) — the body’s longest nerve. It winds its way from the brain throughout the head and trunk, issuing commands to our organs and receiving feelings from them. Much of the confusing range of functions it regulates are automatic and operate without conscious control. These complex responses engage a group of neural networks that link brain and body. The vagus nerve is, in one way of thinking, the conduit of the mind. The primary function of the vagus nerve is to dampen the body’s responses. After a fear episode, for example, the body’s powerful, life-saving threat response must be ended to restore resting heartbeat, breathing, blood flow and the rest. So powerful is its influence that the vagus nerve can literally stop the beating heart. Conversely, it can also stimulate bodily responses by releasing the brakes to accelerate. The vagus nerve is the biological basis for many new therapies (疗法) worldwide. However, some people have taken the vagus nerve’s wide-ranging bodily influence as an invitation to engage in false science. In some corners of the Internet, so-called polyvagal therapy—physical or breathing exercises that some claim reset the vagus nerve — is proposed to address just about any disorder of the mind or body. There’s little evidence that these popular therapies are anything but comfort. The vagus nerve doesn’t need to be a cure for everything — its worth appreciating all on its own. Neuroscientists compare the vagus to an orchestra conductor, harmonizing bodily systems to compose our conscious experience. Professor Linda Rinaman once said, “We’re not just brains in jars. Our thoughts and feelings are rooted in flesh and blood.” 1．How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A．By sharing a story. B．By creating a scene. C．By asking a question. D．By defining a concept. 2．What does the underlined word “conduit” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Channel. B．Product. C．Mirror. D．Nature. 3．What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．The popularity of a biological treatment. B．The effectiveness of breathing exercises. C．The misuse of unproven nerve therapies. D．The evidence of vagus nerve’s functions. 4．What do Linda Rinaman’s words imply? A．Blood circulation determines our emotions. B．Physical health is unrelated to mental states. C．Body and mind interact to form experiences. D．Our brain stores feelings separate from body. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了迷走神经是身体最长的神经，它连接着大脑和身体，在调节身体反应方面起着重要作用，是许多新疗法的生物学基础，但也存在被用于伪科学的情况，最后强调身心是相互关联的。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“It is late at night. You wander empty streets, heart pounding, muscles tense, sensing danger nearby. Now imagine the same situation, but without these responses. Would you still feel afraid?(深夜，你徘徊在空荡荡的街道上，心跳加速，肌肉紧绷，感觉到附近有危险。现在想象同样的情况，但没有这些反应。你还会感到害怕吗？)”结合下文的迷走神经的相关介绍 可知，作者通过描述一个具体的场景来引入话题。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据第二段“At the heart of this connection is the vagus nerve(神经)—the body’s longest nerve. It winds its way from the brain throughout the head and trunk, issuing commands to our organs and receiving feelings from them.(这种联系的核心是迷走神经 —— 身体最长的神经。它从大脑蜿蜒穿过头部和躯干，向我们的器官发出指令，并接收来自它们的感觉)”  可知，迷走神经是连接大脑和身体的通道，“conduit” 意思与 “channel（通道）” 相近。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据第四段“However, some people have taken the vagus nerve’s wide-ranging bodily influence as an invitation to engage in false science. In some corners of the Internet, so-called polyvagal therapy—physical or breathing exercises that some claim reset the vagus nerve—is proposed to address just about any disorder of the mind or body. There’s little evidence that these popular therapies are anything but comfort.(然而，一些人把迷走神经对身体的广泛影响当作参与伪科学的契机。在互联网的一些角落，所谓的多元迷走神经疗法 —— 一些人声称可以重置迷走神经的身体或呼吸练习 —— 被提议用来治疗几乎任何身心失调。几乎没有证据表明这些流行的疗法除了让人感到安慰之外还有其他作用)” 可知，该段主要讲述了未经证实的神经疗法的误用情况。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Professor Linda Rinaman once said, “We’re not just brains in jars. Our thoughts and feelings are rooted in flesh and blood.””(琳达・里纳曼教授曾经说过：“我们不只是罐子里的大脑。我们的思想和感情植根于血肉之中”)” 以及前文提到的身心之间的联系可知，琳达・里纳曼的话暗示了身体和思想相互作用形成我们的体验。故选 C。 （2025·山西·二模）Right now, I have three different water bottles sitting on my desk. My makeup table is so messy that it would take me at least three minutes to locate my lipstick. Under my bed I have bags, purses and who knows what else that I’ve forgotten about. Sound familiar? Be honest: How often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that advertisements made you buy did you actually need? Advertising, or marketing, often gets the blame for fueling wasteful consumption, and I can see why. It involves employing persuasive techniques to encourage an addictive behavior that results in repeat buying. Companies often advocate strategies such as limited-time discounts, promotions and coupons (优惠券). I’ve definitely fallen for them many times. A membership card is another effective form of marketing that increases the likelihood of returning customers. Since buying more will lead to the accumulation of loyalty points (积分), customers will return regularly to purchase items. When their loyalty points are about to expire, customers will return to buy more even if they do not need them. But here’s the thing: It’s not just advertising. The rise of inexpensive products made on a large scale has made it way too easy to live wastefully. These products are often affordable and non-durable so that they can be frequently replenished (补充) at low cost. I mean, how many of us have bought a trendy $10 shirt, only to throw it after a few wears? Similarly, fast furniture is generating massive waste as home owners turn to these cheap and stylish pieces of furniture that often do not last long. The faster buyers replenish their products, the more waste is created. As I sit here, surrounded by the mess and reflecting on my shopping habits, a realization has dawned on me. It is ultimately the choice of individuals who must decide what they should buy and not be influenced by advertising or submit to the temptation of cheap and trendy products. After all, there is just so much we can eat, wear or use. Maybe it’s time to think twice before clicking “add to cart”. 5．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By comparing different lifestyles. B．By relating to her own experience. C．By stressing her addiction to technology. D．By questioning the function of household items. 6．Why is advertising blamed for wasteful consumption according to paragraph 2? A．It forces people to buy large packages. B．It exposes people to constant disturbance. C．It tempts people to make repeat purchases. D．It misguides people with false information. 7．What does the author intend to say in the last paragraph? A．Trendy products need quality upgrades. B．Advertising content requires strict regulations. C．Social media platforms should set a limit to ads. D．Shopping decisions should be based on real needs. 8．Which is a suitable title for the text? A．Mass Production: From Trend to Trash B．Advertising: The Mastermind that Misleads Us C．What on Earth Drives Wasteful Consumption? D．Does Social Media Contribute to Repeat Buying? 【答案】5．B 6．C 7．D 8．C 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者结合自身经历，分析了广告营销和廉价大规模生产产品导致浪费性消费的原因，最后指出人们应根据实际需求做购物决策。 5．推理判断题。根据第一段“Right now, I have three different water bottles sitting on my desk. My makeup table is so messy that it would take me at least three minutes to locate my lipstick. Under my bed I have bags, purses and who knows what else that I’ve forgotten about.(现在，我桌上放着三个不同的水瓶。我的化妆台太乱了，我至少得花三分钟才能找到我的口红。我的床底下有袋子、钱包，天知道还有什么我已经忘记的东西)”和“Be honest: How often does your social media scrolling lead to shopping? And how many of those things that advertisements made you buy did you actually need?(说实话：你浏览社交媒体的频率是多少？广告让你买的东西中有多少是你真正需要的？)”可知，作者通过讲述自己的经历来引出浪费性消费这一话题。故选B项。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段“Advertising, or marketing, often gets the blame for fueling wasteful consumption, and I can see why. It involves employing persuasive techniques to encourage an addictive behavior that results in repeat buying.(广告，或营销，经常被指责为助长浪费，我可以理解为什么。它包括运用有说服力的技巧来鼓励一种成瘾行为，从而导致重复购买)”可知，广告被指责导致浪费性消费是因为它运用有说服力的技巧诱使人们重复购买。故选C项。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is ultimately the choice of individuals who must decide what they should buy and not be influenced by advertising or submit to the temptation of cheap and trendy products.(最终是个人的选择，他们必须决定自己应该买什么，而不是受广告影响或屈服于廉价时尚产品的诱惑)”可知，作者在最后一段想说人们要决定自己应该买什么，不是受广告影响或屈服于廉价时尚产品的诱惑，即购物决策应该基于实际需求。故选D项。 8．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Advertising, or marketing, often gets the blame for fueling wasteful consumption(广告或营销常常因助长浪费性消费而受到指责)”和第三段中“The rise of inexpensive products made on a large scale has made it way too easy to live wastefully.(大规模生产的廉价产品的兴起，让人们很容易过上浪费的生活)”可知，文章主要探讨了导致浪费性消费的原因，包括广告营销和廉价大规模生产产品等。C项“究竟是什么驱使了浪费性消费?”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选C项。 （2025·辽宁·模拟预测）Although humans domesticated cats nearly 12,000 years ago, your dear friend is still somewhat of a mystery. The idea that cats have night vision contributes to the mystery. Do cats have night vision? Not exactly. But they can see very well in low light. Cats’ large pupils, which are about 50% larger than humans’, allow more light into their eyes. This extra light helps them to see in the dark. People’s homes are rarely in complete darkness — there’s always a little light coming in from somewhere. Cats actually aren’t nocturnal (夜间活动的); they are creatures that hunt at dusk and dawn, the time of day when many other animals to be hunted become more active. How well do cats see in the dark? Much better than their pet parents. A human’s round pupils are no match for their pupils. Observe your cats: Their pupils will become narrower in the bright sunlight and then become wider in the dark. A cat’s vision is very powerful because of the strategic shape and movement of their eyes. They also see the world mostly in shades of gray, which is perfect for low light. “A cat has the capacity to differentiate the intensity of light falling on its retina (视网膜) 135 times, compared to 10 times in a human, with a circular pupil,” Dr. Richard E. Goldstein, chief medical officer at the Animal Medical Center in New York City, tells The New York Times. In other words, their pupils give cats a big advantage over the humans when it comes to seeing in the dark because they’re much more effective at responding to how light enters their eyes. But you still have one visual advantage over your friend: Humans have better clearness of vision than cats, reports Business Insider. You can see more clearly than your little friend, but cats win when it comes to night vision. With your combined visual abilities, you and your cat make the perfect team. 9．What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To introduce the topic. B．To draw a conclusion. C．To explain a phenomenon. D．To illustrate the background. 10．What can we learn about cats? A．They can hardly stimulate our curiosity. B．They can see clearly even in full darkness. C．They have eyes fifty percent bigger than humans. D．They prefer to hunt at dawn rather than at night. 11．Why do cats see better than humans in the dark? A．Cats can brighten their eyes at night. B．Cats are masters in reacting to incoming light. C．Pupils of cats are larger and more adjustable to light. D．Shape of cats’ eyes helps them see gray better. 12．How does the author explain the findings in paragraph 5? A．By referring to experts’ words. B．By making comparisons. C．By giving examples. D．By introducing a concept. 【答案】9．A 10．D 11．C 12．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲了猫的夜视能力及其生理机制，并比较了猫与人类在视觉上的差异。 9．推理判断题。根据第一段中“The idea that cats have night vision contributes to the mystery.(猫有夜视能力的想法有助于解开这个谜团)”可知，第一段通过提出“猫的夜视能力”这一话题，引出后文的详细解释，因此A项“引出话题”符合文意。故选A项。 10．推理判断题。根据第二“Cats actually aren’t nocturnal (夜间活动的); they are creatures that hunt at dusk and dawn, the time of day when many other animals to be hunted become more active.(猫实际上不是夜行动物；它们是在黄昏和黎明捕猎的动物，这是一天中许多其他被捕猎动物变得更加活跃的时候)”可知，猫实际上不是夜行动物，它们在黄昏和黎明捕猎，可得出猫更倾向于在黎明而非深夜捕猎。故选D项。 11．细节理解题，根据文章第二段“Cats’ large pupils, which are about 50% larger than humans’, allow more light into their eyes.(猫的瞳孔比人类大50%，因此能让更多的光线进入它们的眼睛)”以及第三段“Their pupils will become narrower in the bright sunlight and then become wider in the dark.(它们的瞳孔在明亮的阳光下会变窄，在黑暗中会变宽)”可知，猫的瞳孔更大且能灵活调节，使其在黑暗中视力更佳。故选C项。 12．推理判断题。根据第五段“But you still have one visual advantage over your friend: Humans have better clearness of vision than cats, reports Business Insider. You can see more clearly than your little friend, but cats win when it comes to night vision. With your combined visual abilities, you and your cat make the perfect team.(但是你仍然比你的朋友有一个视觉优势：据商业内幕网报道，人类的视力比猫更清晰。你比你的小朋友看得更清楚，但猫在夜视方面更胜一筹。以你的综合视觉能力，你和你的猫是完美的组合)”可知，本段主要讲与猫相比人类的一个视觉优势，因此第五段通过做比较的方式展开。故选B项。 找共同点题3篇 【名师点津】 一、解题小妙招 1.结构法：如果属于“总分总”结构，多从“总处”找依据； 2.排除法：可以运用排除法，只要一项不合要求就应该排除； 3.关键词法：依据题干圈划相应的关键词语，据此知道答案。 二、零失误小妙招 1.做题留痕，依据题干在原文圈划答题区间； 2.划掉错项，去伪存真，快速作答提升效率； 3.错题反思，专用笔记本记录错因举一反三。 【精准押题】 （2025·辽宁·二模）Four Must-see Night Sky Events in 2025 In the upcoming year, stargazers can anticipate a range of heavenly wonders to get excited for. Saturn and Venus joint On January 18, two neighboring worlds of Venus and Saturn will appear less than half a degree apart in the sky, about 30 — 45 minutes after sunset. Venus, the brighter, will shine a brilliant red, with Saturn next to it appearing more golden. Though you will be able to see both with the naked eye, binoculars will enhance the view. Lunar eclipse (月食) and blood moon During a lunar eclipse, one in 2022 seen in Portugal, light casts a burning glow on the moon’s surface in the early morning hours of March 14, lasting from 2:26 a.m. to 3:31 a.m. Stargazers can get a great view of the “blood moon” across the Americas, weather permitting. Partial solar eclipse The sky shifting from deep blue at the top, to burning reds on the horizon, the solar eclipse coming March 29, 2025, will have the sun appear as a new moon. Visible across large parts of North America, Europe, and Asia, the event begins at 4:50 a.m. At 6:47 a.m., the largest part of the sun will be shaded by the moon. Moon and Mercury meet up Mercury is tricky to spot because of its closeness to the sun. On June 26, the planet will be easier to glimpse as it appears next to our moon around 20 — 30 minutes before the twilight fades. Mercury will shine as a faint red of light to the naked eye. 1．Which event takes the longest time? A．Saturn and Venus joint. B．Lunar eclipse and blood moon. C．Partial solar eclipse. D．Moon and Mercury meet up. 2．Which country best suits blood moon observation? A．China. B．Canada. C．Russia. D．Portugal. 3．What do the four events have in common? A．They can be viewed with naked eyes. B．They fall in the same month. C．They all emerge for the first time. D．They have red lights involved. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2025年即将发生的四个必看夜空事件，详细描述了每个事件的时间、地点、可见区域以及观测建议，旨在向天文爱好者提供有关即将发生的天文现象的信息。 1．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，关于选项A“Saturn and Venus joint”，文章提及“On January 18, two neighboring worlds of Venus and Saturn will appear less than half a degree apart in the sky, about 30 — 45 minutes after sunset.(1月18日，金星和土星这两个相邻的星球将在日落后约30至45分钟出现在天空中，彼此相距不到半度。)”，并未提及持续时间；关于选项B“Lunar eclipse and blood moon”，文章提及“During a lunar eclipse, one in 2022 seen in Portugal, light casts a burning glow on the moon’s surface in the early morning hours of March 14, lasting from 2:26 a.m. to 3:31 a.m.(在月食期间（比如2022年在葡萄牙观测到的那次月食），3月14日凌晨时分，光线会在月球表面投射出炽热的光辉，月食从凌晨2点26分持续到3点31分。)”可知，持续时间为一小时5分钟；关于选项C“Partial solar eclipse”，文章提及“Visible across large parts of North America, Europe, and Asia, the event begins at 4:50 a.m. At 6:47 a.m., the largest part of the sun will be shaded by the moon.(北美、欧洲和亚洲的大部分地区都可以观测到这一现象，日偏食于凌晨4点50分开始。到凌晨6点47分，太阳的大部分将被月球遮挡。)”可知，日偏食从凌晨4点50分开始，到6点47分太阳大部分被月球遮挡，且这只是其中一个阶段，整个日偏食持续时间肯定大于小时57分钟；关于选项D“Moon and Mercury meet up”，文章提及“On June 26, the planet will be easier to glimpse as it appears next to our moon around 20 — 30 minutes before the twilight fades.(6月26日，这颗行星会更容易被看到，因为在暮色消退前约20至30分钟，它会出现在月球旁边。)”可知，暮色消退前约20至30分钟能看到水星出现在月球旁边，其持续时间较短。因此，持续时间最长的是Partial solar eclipse。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章“Lunar eclipse and blood moon”部分中的“Stargazers can get a great view of the “blood moon” across the Americas, weather permitting.(如果天气允许，美洲各地的天文爱好者都可以一睹“血月”的壮丽景象。)”可知，在天气允许的情况下，美洲各地的天文爱好者都可以很好地观赏到“血月”，而所给选项中，只有加拿大属于美洲国家，因此加拿大是最适合观测血月的国家。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章“Saturn and Venus joint”部分中的“Though you will be able to see both with the naked eye, binoculars will enhance the view.(虽然你可以用肉眼看到这两颗星，但使用双筒望远镜会让观测效果更佳。)”；“Lunar eclipse and blood moon”部分中的“Stargazers can get a great view of the “blood moon” across the Americas, weather permitting.(如果天气允许，美洲各地的天文爱好者都可以一睹“血月”的壮丽景象。)”、“Partial solar eclipse”为日食，肉眼在一定阶段也可观测到太阳的变化，且文中未强调必须借助工具；“Moon and Mercury meet up”部分中的“Mercury will shine as a faint red of light to the naked eye (肉眼看去，水星会闪耀着微弱的红色光芒。)”可知，这四个事件的共同之处是都可以用肉眼观测。故选A。 （2025·浙江·二模）From forgotten beaches, ancient castles to soaring desert dunes (沙丘) , Morocco boasts the best locations for hiking, surfing, swimming and sleeping under the stars. Anti-Atlas Mountains Extending from the Atlantic coast to the edge of the Sahara and with a huge variety of terrain, the Anti-Atlas Mountains cater for even the most indecisive traveller. Above all, Anti-Atlas is agadir country (the word means wall) . The landscape is dotted with these remarkable walls. Built from stone and clay, they were typically set on hilltops or cliffs to provide protection from attack. The Mediterranean coast Unlike Morocco’s Atlantic coast, the country’s Mediterranean coastline is a less well-known destination. Of all the beaches in this area, Plage Ihttpye n is the best. Hidden from view behind two enormous red cliffs east of Port Sidi Hsaïn, and accessible only by a steep rocky path, it’s an incredible peaceful and picturesque spot, with crystalline waves lapping against the pebble shore and curious rock formations rising from the waves. Agadir Founded in the 16th century by the Portuguese, Agadir quickly became a booming trading post, growing rich on the profits of sugar and spices. In 1960, an earthquake destroyed most of the city and paved the way for its rebirth as a tourist resort. This is the place if you’re seeking sun, sand and surf; the coastline around Agadir is the heartland of Morocco’s surf scene and you don’t have to look far to discover quieter surfing beaches. Merzouga Located at the edge of the Sahara’s shifting sands, Merzouga has become one of the main desert centers for travellers. The drive there involves a dramatic journey over high mountains and remote river valleys, a panorama (全景) outshone only by the view at the end of the road: the soaring dunes of Erg Chebbi stand in magnificence on the horizon. Climb to the top of the 150-metre-high dunes after the winter rains and you can gaze down on to Merzouga Lake, a watering hole frequented by a colony of flamingos (火烈鸟) and occasional camel herders. 4．What do we know about the Anti-Atlas Mountains? A．They serve as a trade center. B．They overlook the Arctic Ocean. C．They feature defensive structures. D．They attract desert enthusiasts. 5．What do Agadir and Merzouga have in common? A．Peaceful coastline views. B．Unique animal experiences. C．Beautiful natural scenery. D．Magnificent desert dunes. 6．Where is the text probably taken from? A．A travel magazine. B．A marine study. C．A historical record. D．A geography textbook. 【答案】4．C 5．C 6．A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了摩洛哥的几个旅游胜地。 4．推理判断题。根据Anti-Atlas Mountains部分中“Built from stone and clay, they were typically set on hilltops or cliffs to provide protection from attack.(它们由石头和粘土建造而成，通常建在山顶或悬崖上，以抵御攻击。)”可知，Anti-Atlas Mountains有防御建筑。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据Agadir部分中“This is the place if you’re seeking sun, sand and surf; the coastline around Agadir is the heartland of Morocco’s surf scene and you don’t have to look far to discover quieter surfing beaches.(如果你在寻找阳光、沙滩和冲浪，那么这里就是你的去处；阿加迪尔周围的海岸线是摩洛哥冲浪的中心地带，你不用走多远就能发现更安静的冲浪海滩。)”以及Merzouga部分中“Located at the edge of the Sahara’s shifting sands, Merzouga has become one of the main desert centers for travellers. The drive there involves a dramatic journey over high mountains and remote river valleys, a panorama (全景) outshone only by the view at the end of the road: the soaring dunes of Erg Chebbi stand in magnificence on the horizon.(梅尔祖卡位于撒哈拉沙漠流动的沙丘边缘，已成为旅行者的主要沙漠中心之一。开车去那里需要一段激动人心的旅程，要翻越高山和偏远的河谷，一路上的全景只有在路的尽头才能看到：Erg Chebbi高耸的沙丘在地平线上显得格外壮观。)”可知，Agadir和Merzouga的共同之处在于它们都有美丽的自然风光。故选C。 6．推理判断题。根据第一段“From forgotten beaches, ancient castles to soaring desert dunes (沙丘) , Morocco boasts the best locations for hiking, surfing, swimming and sleeping under the stars.(从被遗忘的海滩、古老的城堡到高耸的沙漠沙丘，摩洛哥拥有徒步旅行、冲浪、游泳和在星空下睡觉的最佳地点。)”和下文内容可知，文章主要介绍了摩洛哥的几个旅游胜地，包括Anti-Atlas Mountains、The Mediterranean coast、Agadir和Merzouga。由此可推知，文章可能选自一本旅游杂志。故选A。 （24-25高三下·山东菏泽·阶段练习）Four Popular School Clubs to Explore Asian Awareness Club As a member of the Asian Awareness club, you’ll explore Asian cultures, celebrations, and issues and develop ways to effectively teach them to others in your school and broader communities.

It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs? For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C． , has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that? To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.” 1．Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger? A．To express his sorrow for the loss. B．To stress the high risk of space flights. C．To show the result of wrong operation. D．To give an example of overconfidence. 2．What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research? A．It urged students to gain recognition. B．It encouraged students to take exams. C．It helped students to adjust learning methods. D．It motivated students to memorize knowledge. 3．What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5? A．Fully mastered a subject. B．Put great effort into a subject C．Really enjoyed a subject. D．Benefited a lot from a subject. 4．What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs? A．Why questioning our belief is hard. B．Why intellectual humility is helpful. C．How to become a confident person. D．How to practice intellectual humility. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的研究，通过具体研究案例，来说明智力谦逊如何帮助人们更好地学习和调整学习策略。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段第二至第四句“He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. (他发现过度自信非常普遍，尤其是在人们认为某件事情正确时，这种过度自信可能会导致灾难性的决策。1986年，NASA认为每次太空飞行发生损失的风险大约是1/100,000。这种过度自信的信念可能引发了“挑战者号”的爆炸)”可知，作者先介绍了科学家发现过度自信可能导致严重后果，之后提及1986年这起灾难。由此推知，提及“挑战者号”爆炸是说明过度自信会导致灾难的一个例子。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句“She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. (她发现，智力谦逊的学生更有可能去检验自己是否真正理解了学习材料，并寻找自己理解上的漏洞。当他们看到考试成绩时，他们会调整学习策略，以提高学习表现，并掌握好材料为下一次考试做准备)”可知，智力谦逊这种特质会使学生及时反思自己的学习，相应调整学习方法。故选C项。 3．词句猜测题。根据第五段第二句“Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. (这些学生以为自己对某个科目got down pat，但在考试中被要求解释时，他们发现自己的理解并没有自己想象的那么多)”可知，学生们在考试之前应是对自己比较自信，认为自己对该相关知识十分了解，或已经全会了，但到考场答题时，才发现自己会的不如原本所认为的那么多。由此可知，got a subject down pat应是“对某科目了解很多”或“对某科目完全掌握”之意。故选A项。 4t’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. (好消息是，过度自信有一种“疫苗”，科学家称之为“智力谦逊”——即认识到你的信念可能是错误的)”及全文最后一句“If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.” (如果你觉得很难质疑一种信念，可以尝试迈出“一小步”)”可知，最后一句中所说的“question a belief”即前文所说的“recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong”，也就是第二段最后一句引号中所言的“智力谦逊”。全文最后一句又说，“可以尝试迈出‘一小步’”。由此推知，所谓的“一小步”究竟该怎么做，会在下文进行介绍，即如何练习做到“智力谦虚”。故选D项。 （24-25高三上·湖南长沙·阶段练习）Do you always think through possibilities before committing to even the smallest choices like what to wear, which menu item to pick, and when to do house chores? If this sounds like you, you’re among many indecisive people who struggle with those issues. But are decisive people better at making decisions than indecisive people? A recent study has cast light on that. The starting point of the recent study into the differences between decisive and indecisive people was finding a reliable way of distinguishing participants. The research team used the Action Control Scale, a yes or no questionnaire about everyday choices and behavior, to reveal whether a person is action - or state-oriented. Action-oriented people are more decisive and likely to take action. They are more flexible and likely to carry out their intentions in the face of challenges. By contrast, state-oriented people focus on their emotional states. They are more hesitant to commit to their choices, and abandon their commitments more frequently. Researchers surveyed 723 people, from whom they chose the 60 most action-oriented and the 60 most state-oriented to take part in the main experiments. The participants went through a set of cognitive tasks, with low-risk choices. The team conducted a comparison of several cognitive processes between the two groups including evidence- processing speed, decision caution, initial bias (how much the choice is influenced by known knowledge), and sensitivity (how accurately you can judge the correctness of your choice). By examining these cognitive processes, researchers aimed to gain insights into the decision-making abilities and tendencies of the two groups. They found that across all the experiments, action-oriented people were more confident in their choices. However, there were no divergences in correctness, speed, or sensitivity. Meanwhile, indecisive people were in no way worse at making choices. Being less or more confident of the choice that has been made cannot affect the outcome. It can however influence future ones. State-oriented people are less confident of whether the choice is right, and it will possibly make pursuing their goals a much greater challenge. 5．What’s the purpose of the study? A．To tell decisive participants from indecisive ones. B．To find out what makes people indecisive or decisive. C．To clarify the importance and benefit of being decisive. D．To study whether decisive people are better decision makers. 6．What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A．Add some background information. B．Introduce a new topic for discussion. C．Summarize the previous paragraphs. D．Provide some advice for the readers. 7．What does the underlined word “divergences” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Assignments. B．Connections. C．Distinctions. D．Comparisons. 8．What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A．The critical factor behind different choices. B．The correct way to be more confident. C．The benefits gained by state-oriented people. D．The influence of the confidence gap in the future. 【答案】5．D 6．A 7．C 8．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了一项研究，该研究比较了果断型和犹豫型人士在决策过程中的表现，发现两者在决策质量上并无显著差异，但果断型人士对自己的选择更有信心。 5．细节理解题。由文章第一段“Do you always think through possibilities before committing to even the smallest choices like what to wear, which menu item to pick, and when to do house chores? If this sounds like you, you’re among many indecisive people who struggle with those issues. But are decisive people better at making decisions than indecisive people? A recent study has cast light on that. (你是否总是在做出哪怕是像穿什么衣服、选哪个菜单项或何时做家务这样小事的决定前思考各种可能性？如果你是这样的人，那你就是众多难以做决定的人士之一。但果断的人真的比犹豫不决的人更善于做决定吗？一项最新的研究对此进行了探讨。)”可知，研究的目的是探究果断的人是否比犹豫不决的人更擅长做决定。故选D。 6．推理判断题。由文章第三段“Action-oriented people are more decisive and likely to take action. They are more flexible and likely to carry out their intentions in the face of challenges. By contrast, state-oriented people focus on their emotional states. They are more hesitant to commit to their choices, and abandon their commitments more frequently. (行动导向的人更加果断，更有可能采取行动。他们更加灵活，即使面临挑战也能执行自己的意图。相比之下，状态导向的人更关注自己的情绪状态。他们在做决定时更加犹豫，也更容易放弃自己的承诺。)”可知，作者在此段介绍了研究团队如何区分参与者是行动导向还是状态导向，这是为了给读者提供研究背景信息。故选A。 7．词句猜测题。根据第五段中“They found that across all the experiments, action-oriented people were more confident in their choices. However, there were no divergences in correctness, speed, or sensitivity. Meanwhile, indecisive people were in no way worse at making choices. (研究发现，在所有实验中，行动导向的人对自己的选择更加自信。然而，在正确性、速度或敏感度方面，两组人并没有divergences。)”可知，在所有实验中，行动导向的人对自己的选择更加自信。然而，在正确性、速度或敏感度方面，两组人并没有明显区别。divergences意为“区别”。A. Assignments任务；B. Connections连接；C. Distinctions区别；D. Comparisons比较。故选C。 8．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Being less or more confident of the choice that has been made cannot affect the outcome. It can however influence future ones. State-oriented people are less confident of whether the choice is right, and it will possibly make pursuing their goals a much greater challenge. (对已做出的选择是否充满信心并不会影响结果，但它可能会影响未来的决定。状态导向的人对选择是否正确缺乏信心，这可能会使追求目标变得更加困难。)”可知，接下来可能会讨论信心差距对未来选择的影响。故选D。 （2025·江苏无锡·一模）Vaping (抽电子烟) damages young people’ s lungs as much as smoking, according to a research that has caused fresh debate over the health risks of e-cigarettes. The study compared vapers and smokers in an intense exercise test and found both groups less fit and much more out of breath than people who have neither habit. Dr. Azmy Faisal and colleagues at Manchester Metropolitan University asked 60 people in their 20s to have their lung capacity recorded. Twenty were non-smokers, 20 others had vaped for at least two years and the other 20 had smoked for at least two years. The test measured the maximum amount of physical exercise that someone could achieve, and found that the vapers had an average “peak exercise capacity”, which, at 186 watts, was similar to that of the smokers (182 watts) but much lower than that among the non-smokers (226 watts). In addition, the vapers and smokers were less able to take in oxygen — at 2.7 litres and 2.6 litres a minute respectively — than those who neither smoked nor vaped (3 litres). “The study adds to growing evidence that long-term use of vaping is detrimental and challenges the idea that vaping could be a healthier alternative to smoking”, said Faisal and his co-authors of the study. Medical researchers have also found evidence that vaping increases the risk of cancer, because it changes their DNA, and also that it may damage the brain and vital organs because e-cigarette aerosols (气溶胶) and liquids can contain traces of poisonous metals such as lead and uranium. Dr. Filippos Filippidis, Chairman of the ERS’s tobacco control committee, said, “Vapes are being sold cheaply and in a variety of flavours to appeal to young people.” Doctors and policymakers need to know about the risks of vaping and we should be doing all we can to help children and young people to avoid or quit vaping. 9．How is Faisal’s research conducted? A．By measuring oxygen intake in the blood. B．By recording exercise capacities at different ages. C．By comparing health conditions in different exercises. D．By analyzing lung capacities among different groups. 10．What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Harmful. B．Mysterious. C．Unimportant. D．Unpredictable. 11．What can be inferred from the text? A．Vaping will soon be completely banned. B．More people will start vaping in the future. C．Health risks of vaping haven’t been understood by all. D．Strict rules will be made to regulate the price of vaping products. 12．What might be discussed in the following paragraph? A．The history and development of vaping products. B．The comparison between different e-cigarette brands. C．Specific measures to help young people to quit vaping. D．Different opinions of young people who vape regularly. 【答案】9．D 10．A 11．C 12．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了一项研究表明，抽电子烟对年轻人肺部的损害程度与吸烟相当，引发了人们对电子烟健康风险的新一轮争论。 9．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Dr. Azmy Faisal and colleagues at Manchester Metropolitan University asked 60 people in their 20s to have their lung capacity recorded. (曼彻斯特城市大学的Azmy Faisal博士和他的同事让60名20多岁的人记录他们的肺活量。)”和第四段“The test measured the maximum amount of physical exercise that someone could achieve, and found that the vapers had an average “peak exercise capacity”, which, at 186 watts, was similar to that of the smokers (182 watts) but much lower than that among the non-smokers (226 watts). (该测试测量了某人所能达到的最大运动量，并发现抽电子烟的人的平均“最大运动能力”为186瓦，与吸烟者(182瓦)相似，但远低于非吸烟者(226瓦)。)”可知，Faisal的研究是通过分析不同人群的肺活量来进行的。故选D项。 10．词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“‘The study adds to growing evidence that long-term use of vaping is detrimental and challenges the idea that vaping could be a healthier alternative to smoking’, said Faisal and his co-authors of the study. (Faisal和他的研究合著者说:‘这项研究为长期使用电子烟……这一日益增多的证据增添了内容，并挑战了电子烟可能是吸烟更健康替代品这一观点。’)”可知，Faisal和他的研究合著者的研究挑战了电子烟可能是吸烟更健康替代品这一观点即长期用电子烟是不健康的，由此画线词所在句提到的是研究为“电子烟有害”增添了证据。故画线词意思是“有害的”与A选项“Harmful.(有害的)”为同义词。故选A项。 11．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Doctors and policymakers need to know about the risks of vaping and we should be doing all we can to help children and young people to avoid or quit vaping. (医生和决策者需要了解电子烟的风险，我们应该尽我们所能帮助儿童和年轻人避免或戒除电子烟。)”可推知，不是所有人都了解电子烟的健康风险。故选C项。 12．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Doctors and policymakers need to know about the risks of vaping and we should be doing all we can to help children and young people to avoid or quit vaping. (医生和决策者需要了解电子烟的风险，我们应该尽我们所能帮助儿童和年轻人避免或戒除电子烟。)”可知，最后一段强调了医生和决策者需要了解电子烟的风险，并帮助年轻人避免或戒除电子烟，由此可推知，接下来可能会讨论帮助年轻人戒除电子烟的具体措施。故选C项。 文章出处题3篇 【名师点津】 一、解题小妙招 “推断文章出处”类试题应从文章的内容或结构入手来判断其出处： 研究报告类文章(a research paper)：此类文章重点介绍科技领域最新研究成果：新发现、新思想、新发明。第一段概括介绍，然后分段陈述。文章结构严谨，语言规范，句式复杂。 图书评论类文章(a book review)：书评、影评类文章涉及到作者介绍，内容梗概、人物性格评论，写作特色以及个人好恶等内容。 广告英语类文章(an advertisement)：现代生活中广告无处不在，英语阅读理解也是如此。有时会考查微型海报、通知、启示、时刻表、图表等。 科普杂志类文章(a science magazine)：此类文章内容广泛，涉及到日常生活习惯、健康饮食、太空与海洋、创造与发明、计算机发展、人类未来、动物世界等。其重点是普及科学知识，提高科学素养。 教材课本类文章(a geography textbook)：此类文章内容比较正式，语言规范，往往涉及到学科术语、专业性词汇、概念、理论等。 课件展示类文章(a class presentation)：此类文章往往紧扣主题，口语性强、语言活泼，形式新颖，伴随有图片、图表、文字介绍等信息。 网络网页类文章(an Internet page)：此类文章往往会提供超级链接标志，如For more information, please click here. 二、零失误小妙招 1.做题留痕，依据题干在原文圈划答题区间； 2.划掉错项，去伪存真，快速作答提升效率； 3.错题反思，专用笔记本记录错因举一反三。 【精准押题】 （24-25高三下·江西·阶段练习）With the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, OpenAI’s chatbot attracted 100 million users within weeks. Investors also piled in. Yet across the economy, only 5% of American businesses say they are using AI in their products and services. Few AI businesses are turning a profit. Despite the disparity between investor enthusiasm and business reality, the race is on to make it more efficient and more useful. Yet several things are slowing AI development. Training big models needs huge amounts of energy. The electricity used to train GPT-4 could have powered 5,000 American homes for a year. Developing ever larger models thus requires deeper pockets. Meanwhile, there is a shortage of training data. Companies worldwide are coming up with clever fixes to these problems, from more efficient and specialized chips to smaller models that need less power. Others are dreaming up ways of tapping new, high-quality data sources such as textbooks for use in training. Whether these will lead to improvements in the technology is still unclear. For end users of AI, a different kind of struggle is underway, as individuals and companies try to work out how best to use the technology. As the technology becomes more advanced, adoption may accelerate. But culture also matters. Much use of AI is in secret, as workers use it to streamline tasks such as rewriting text or generating reports. Employees may worry that if they admit to using AI to get things done more quickly, bosses will give them more work to do, or take this as a signal that fewer workers are needed. This in turn suggests that AI adoption is as much a management challenge as a technological one. To get the most out of the technology, bosses need to create an open environment. The AI race will take many forms in 2025, yet the point about which investors are doubtful is often when new technologies quietly start gaining force. Will the bubble burst, or will the technology start to deliver? The answer in 2025 may be a bit of both. 1．What does the underlined word “disparity” in Para.2 mean? A．Distance. B．Formation. C．Replacement. D．Connection. 2．How do companies reduce electricity consumption? A．By getting government funds. B．By trading data for power. C．By building smaller models. D．By developing new power sources. 3．What is considered as a solution to the management challenge? A．Removing the cultural barrier for AI design. B．Replacing human workers with AI assistants. C．Finding high-quality data sources for training. D．Creating an open environment for adopting AI. 4．Where is the text probably taken from? A．An economic report. B．A science report. C．A lifestyle magazine. D．A career guidebook. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了人工智能的发展现状，尽管ChatGPT等技术吸引了大量用户和投资，但实际应用和盈利的企业仍较少。训练大型模型需要大量能源和资金，数据短缺也是挑战。全球公司正在寻找解决方案，但技术改进和广泛应用仍面临管理挑战。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“With the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, OpenAI’s chatbot attracted 100 million users within weeks. Investors also piled in. Yet across the economy, only 5% of American businesses say they are using AI in their products and services. Few AI businesses are turning a profit.(随着2022年ChatGPT的推出，OpenAI的聊天机器人在几周内吸引了1亿用户。投资者也纷纷涌入。然而，在整个经济中，只有5%的美国企业表示他们在产品和服务中使用了人工智能。很少有人工智能企业开始盈利)”可知，投资者热情，但是很少企业盈利，说明二者存在差距。故划线词意思是“差距”，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Companies worldwide are coming up with clever fixes to these problems, from more efficient and specialized chips to smaller models that need less power.(世界各地的公司都在想出巧妙的办法来解决这些问题，从更高效、更专业的芯片到耗电量更少的小型号)”可知，企业通过建造更小的模型减少用电量。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“This in turn suggests that AI adoption is as much a management challenge as a technological one. To get the most out of the technology, bosses need to create an open environment.(这反过来表明，人工智能的采用既是一项技术挑战，也是一项管理挑战。为了最大限度地利用技术，老板们需要创造一个开放的环境)”可知，管理挑战的解决方案是营造开放的人工智能应用环境。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“With the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, OpenAI’s chatbot attracted 100 million users within weeks. Investors also piled in. Yet across the economy, only 5% of American businesses say they are using AI in their products and services.

The homemade device includes an adapted yellow shop-bought umbrella and 3D printed components with propellers (螺旋桨) on the end. The new invention is the work of an engineer behind the “I Build Stuff” online channel. The young engineer points out that other attempts have been made to make a flying umbrella in the past. But they’ve gone wrong largely because the propellers have been in the wrong place — attached to the handle or above the canopy (遮篷), which leaves no space for the air to flow. Therefore, for his flying umbrella, he attached the propellers so that they were sticking out from the sides of the canopy. It includes a central X-shaped frame of four arms made out of carbon fibre, which is both strong and light. Each of the arms has a propeller and motor at the end, making the device look like a cross between an umbrella and a drone. Building the device took months and included a major setback due to badly soldered (焊接) wires, but eventually it was ready for a test run. “This thing actually shields me from the rain… it wasn’t raining that hard, but I think this thing can stand much harsher conditions, just probably not stronger winds,” he says. Unfortunately, the user still has to control the umbrella with a two-handed remote to ensure it stays above the head — leaving little room to carry your shopping. However, the inventor now plans on making a better version. “In the future I could attach a camera to the underside and write a programme that tracks my position and moves my umbrella accordingly,” he adds. 5．Why did the inventor develop the flying umbrella? A．To show his engineering skills. B．To reduce arms’ pain on rainy days. C．To attend the online channel. D．To facilitate people’s daily travel. 6．What made the invention of the flying umbrella possible? A．Investment in advanced equipment. B．Guidance from experienced engineers. C．Lessons from the previous failures. D．Improvement of propellers’ quality. 7．What can we expect of the flying umbrellas in the future? A．It can help carry some goods. B．It can replace the traditional umbrella. C．It can resist stronger winds. D．It can track people automatically. 8．Where is the text most probably taken from? A．An advertisement for an online program. B．A guidebook to an umbrella. C．An introduction to a new invention. D．A research report on the weather. 【答案】5．B 6．C 7．D 8．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了一位网友兼发明家创造了一种新型飞行雨伞，以解决雨天持伞带来的手臂疼痛问题。 5．细节理解题。根据第一段“With Britain’s persistently wet weather, holding an umbrella over one’s head can often lead to a painful arm, but an inventor, who is also a netizen, may have a solution — a flying umbrella that follows the user around in the rain.(由于英国天气持续潮湿，把伞撑在头上往往会导致手臂疼痛，但一位发明家，也是一位网民，可能有一个解决方案——一种可以在雨中跟随使用者的飞行伞)”可知，发明者发明飞伞是为了减轻下雨天手臂的疼痛问题。故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段“The young engineer points out that other attempts have been made to make a flying umbrella in the past. But they’ve gone wrong largely because the propellers have been in the wrong place — attached to the handle or above the canopy (遮篷), which leaves no space for the air to flow.(这位年轻的工程师指出，过去也曾有人尝试制造飞伞。但它们出问题的主要原因是螺旋桨在错误的地方——附着在手柄上或在舱盖上方，没有留出空气流动的空间)”以及第三段“Therefore, for his flying umbrella, he attached the propellers so that they were sticking out from the sides of the canopy.(因此，对于他的飞行伞，他安装了螺旋桨，使它们从伞盖的两侧伸出来)”可知，从以前的失败中吸取教训使飞伞的发明成为可能。故选C。 7．细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, the inventor now plans on making a better version. “In the future I could attach a camera to the underside and write a programme that tracks my position and moves my umbrella accordingly,” he adds.(然而，发明者现在计划制造一个更好的版本。他补充说：“将来我可以在伞的底部安装一个摄像头，然后编写一个程序来跟踪我的位置，并相应地移动我的伞。”)”可知，未来的飞行伞可以自动跟踪人。故选D。 8．推理判断题。根据第一段“With Britain’s persistently wet weather, holding an umbrella over one’s head can often lead to a painful arm, but an inventor, who is also a netizen, may have a solution — a flying umbrella that follows the user around in the rain.(由于英国天气持续潮湿，把伞撑在头上往往会导致手臂疼痛，但一位发明家，也是一位网民，可能有一个解决方案——一种可以在雨中跟随使用者的飞行伞)”以及这篇文章主要讲述了一位网友兼发明家创造了一种新型飞行雨伞，以解决雨天持伞带来的手臂疼痛问题。可知，这段文字最有可能取自一项新发明的介绍。故选C。 （24-25高三上·广东·开学考试）Weekend trips in Europe can be a truly magical experience, from the sunny beaches of Greece to the rolling hills of Italy.
