专题03 阅读理解（说明文&议论文）（原卷版） （一） （2025云南腾冲市第五中学·二模） Killer whales hunt fish with clicks and buzzes — they choose and chase their prey with sound waves. But boat traffic noise is hiding salmon (鲑鱼) from them, making their favorite meal harder to find. Ocean noise has been increasing over the years, and an international research team recently reported in Global Change Biology that when the water got too noisy, whales spent more time looking for food but caught fewer fish. The study tracked every move and sound that individual killer whale made, as well as the sound reaching them. Researchers found that for every decibel (分贝) increase in the maximum level of background noise reaching killer whales, they were four percent more likely to search for food and had a 12.5 percent lower chance of catching a fish they chased. Catching fewer fish means eating less and if the whales eat too little, they are at higher risk of having health problems, delaying or skipping having babies, or failing to support babies they do have. The killer whales are listed as endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, and only 73 or 74 individuals remain. In Canada, they have healthier numbers, but Canadian law still lists them as threatened. The salmon that killer whales mostly rely on for food face their own challenges, such as water pollution, and warming freshwater habitats. The noise problem is one that researchers view as long lasting, yet possibly more straightforward to fix than declining fish populations or pollution—ships could simply slow down to make less noise. Washington State law requires vessels to reduce to a maximum seven knot speed within a half mile of the whales and limits the distance between a vessel and killer whales. The state is increasing the minimum distance to 1,000 yards starting January 1, 2025. Buzz about innovations in propeller (推进器) technology is also positive. A propeller by Sharrow Marine, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic. 1．How did the scientists do the researches? A．By doing experiments. B．By surveying questions. C．By tracing killer whales. D．By analyzing other researches. 2．What happens when ocean noise gets higher? A．Killer whales do more fish hunting. B．Killer whales don’t feel like eating. C．The number of fish is fast decreasing. D．Fish hide themselves from killer whales. 3．Why does the author mention the threats the salmon face? A．To prevent overfishing. B．To help reduce water pollution. C．To protect salmon from extinction. D．To stress a challenge of killer whales. 4．What’s new about the propeller by Sharrow Marine? A．It helps the ship go faster. B．It limits the speed of the ship. C．It produces less noise from the ship. D．It equips the ship with new technical devices. （二） （2025云南腾冲市第五中学·二模） When it comes to problem-solving, virtually everyone can use either insightful or analytical methods, but many people tend to use one rather than the other. Mathematician Roger Penrose, for example, can obviously think analytically but seems to be naturally insightful. “I do most of my thinking in visual terms rather than writing down equations (方程式),” he once said in an interview. In the 2010s Brian Erickson, then a doctoral student at Drexel University, and his colleagues demonstrated that people’s tendency toward insightful or analytical thinking is evident during “resting-state” brain activity—while a person relaxes with no task to perform or expectation about what is to come. Erickson recorded people’s resting-state EEGs (脑电图) and then, weeks later, tasked the same participants with solving a series of puzzles. The astonishing result: a few minutes of EEG predicted, up to seven weeks in advance, whether a person would solve the puzzles mostly insightfully or analytically. Our dominant thinking style is stable over time. The subjects who relied mostly on insight had greater resting-state activity at the back of the brain, whereas the analytical subjects had greater activity in frontal areas. The frontal areas, where a person’s executive processes are centered, organize activity in the rest of the brain. These executive processes enable people to think in a focused and strategic way, but they can also restrict creativity by limiting thought to straightforward plans, just as a horse’s blinders block out distractions that would lead it to wander from its path. When activity in this region is relatively low, as it was for the insightful subjects, posterior (后部) areas can “go rogue,” sometimes resulting in aha! moments. Although individuals may tend toward more analytical or insightful thinking, we aren’t locked into one or the other. Our thinking style can shift, at least temporarily, to the other strategy. This flexibility is key to making the best possible use of both creativity and logic in our decision-making. By using the right strategy at the right time, we can address challenges more effectively, enhancing our ability to think critically and innovatively. 5．What does the example of Roger Penrose illustrate? A．Visual images help solve a problem. B．Scientists favor an insightful solution. C．Note-taking negatively affects thinking. D．People have a preferred way of thinking. 6．What did Brian Erickson’s study reveal about resting-state brain activity? A．It predicts our future growth. B．It reflects our thinking ability. C．It indicates our dominant thinking style. D．It determines our problem-solving speed. 7．What does the underlined expression “go rogue” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Get stuck. B．Run wild. C．Grow mature. D．Become inactive. 8．What advice does the author give in the last paragraph? A．Follow your natural thinking style. B．Adjust your thinking style as needed. C．Reflect on your thinking style regularly. D．Limit your analytical thinking to stay creative. （三） （2025·云南曲靖·二模） Like much of Hawaii’s wildlife, Hawaiian crows began to dwindle after the arrival of Western settlers. Their native forest habitat was converted to agriculture. Mosquitoes, brought in on ships, carried serious diseases. Introduced species, like rats and mongoose, preyed (捕食)on native birds and their eggs. It’s why dozens of Hawaii’s birds have gone extinct. To avoid that fate, many remaining species have been brought into captivity (圈养), living in what are essentially isolated savings banks for biodiversity. Hawaiian crows were brought into captivity beginning in the 1970s. Over time, the population has grown to more than 100. Releasing them back into the wild has hit some speed bumps. The crows were traditionally found on Hawaii’s Big Island, where wildlife officials tried to release them in 2016. Their native predator (天敌), a hawk, lives there as well, so the birds received some predator training to prepare them. Still, the crows’ numbers fell, and the remaining birds were recaptured. Now, the birds are being released on Maui, where no hawks are found. In the forest, the birds have a netted enclosure they can return to if needed, and over time they have flown farther and farther into the forest. Still, becoming wild again will be a process for the birds. They’re still being carefully monitored and are receiving supplemental food from a field team of biologists. While the caretakers in captivity tried to minimize human contact, the crows aren’t accustomed to searching for food on their own yet. Experts say the challenge is there’s no playbook for returning animals to the wild after generations in captivity. Researchers are figuring out what the crows need as they go. For some other species in captivity, there’s still no way to release them, because the threats from diseases like avian malaria are still too great. It’s why every small step forward is important for conservation in Hawaii. “It’s extremely hopeful. I don’t want to say they’re wild now and everything is done, but just the fact that we have gotten to this point is a big success,” says Hanna Mounce, manager of the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, which helped release the birds. 9．What does the underlined word “dwindle” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A．Decline. B．Thrive. C．Exist. D．Evolve. 10．What does the author say about the initial attempt to release crows back into the wild? A．It turned out a great success. B．It on countered some difficulties. C．It posed a threat to hawks. D．It took place on Maui. 11．What is the current situation of the crows released on Maui? A．They keep staying in a netted enclosure. B．They adapt to life in the wild instantly. C．They carefully monitor the supplemental food. D．They aren’t used to looking for food by themselves. 12．What does Hanna Mounce think of rewilding the crows? A．It is promising. B．It is effortless. C．It is in vain. D．It is unachievable. （四） （2025·云南曲靖·二模） Many individuals perceive Australia as an amazing nation brimming with opportunities. Yet, its beginnings were quite different. In 1788, British colonizers made a journey into Australia. Approximately 750convicts (囚犯) were on the ships that were referred to as the First Fleet. These convicts were the ones who played a role in establishing the Australian colony. Australians are all familiar with the concept of convicts. We are aware that they originated from the United Kingdom, and there they had committed minor crimes. But during my time at school, I learned more about prominent national figures like Captain Arthur Phillip, who commanded the First Fleet, rather than about the convicts themselves. Nevertheless, the Australian-born author Robert Hughes believed that this approach was presenting a sanitized (被美化的) version of their history. As a result, he embarked on a decade-long exploration to uncover the genuine story of the convicts. In 1988, he published his book titled The Fatal Shore: The Epic of Australia’s Founding. At the start of this 688-page book, Hughes describes the convicts’ journey to Australia that lasted over 200 days on ships. They were caged below the deck and constantly suffered from seasickness. Hughes mentions that the oldest convict was Dorothy Handland, an 82-year-old clothes merchant who was convicted of lying in a court of law. It is precisely this level of detailed description that makes the book so attractive to me. Hughes used numerous primary sources, such as letters written by various individuals and news articles from that era, to support his arguments. This not only provides us with factual information but also brings to light stories that are not widely known. By piecing all these elements together, he effectively makes the history come alive. Upon reaching the “fatal shore”, the convicts were made to work. They were involved in building roads, bridges, and hospitals, and also worked on government farms. Working from dawn till dusk, from Monday to Saturday, their lives were extremely difficult. However, in some places, it was even harsher, depending on the person in charge. For instance, Hughes states that Tasmania was known as the “convicts’ hell”. He also added that the general tendency among Australians to dislike authority has its roots in the convict past. Over the course of 80 long years, a total of more than 162,000 convicts were transported from the UK to Australia. Once this period of convicts in Australian history came to an end, there was an attempt to forget these “dark shadows of the past”, as Hughes put it. 13．What motivated Hughes to write his book published in 1988? A．His passion for history and his fondness for traveling. B．His curiosity about prominent national personalities. C．His strong wish to uncover the real story. D．His respect and admiration for Arthur Phillip. 14．How does Hughes support his viewpoints within the book? A．By quoting official documents. B．By including firsthand materials. C．By making use of well-known stories. D．By mentioning the opinions of historical experts. 15．What led to Tasmania being given the name “convicts’ hell”? A．The cruel and tough treatment from strict authorities. B．The extremely harsh and difficult natural surroundings. C．The frequent conflicts among the local people. D．A shortage of resources required for construction work. 16．What does Hughes say about the past of Australian convicts? A．It shows Australia is a wonderful country full of opportunities. B．It is highly valued and taught in detail in Australian schools. C．It accounts for the dislike of authorities among Australians. D．It is always deeply carved into Australians’ hearts. （五） （2025·云南腾冲市第八中学·二模） If you have any broken items or clothes full of holes lying around in your home, bring them to the repair cafe. The Repair Cafe, located within Sulzer Regional Library in Chicago, operates for two hours on the second Saturday of each month, providing a certain time and place for nearby residents to seek assistance with repairing their precious belongings. From rewiring toys to resewing stuffed animals and clothes, the Repair Cafe’s volunteers skilfully tackle various challenges. The Repair Cafe operates on a nonprofit model, offering its services for free. Furthermore, participants are invited to make voluntary donations, which are then used to purchase specific tools needed for repairs or organize team-building activities for the volunteers. The concept of the Repair Cafe originated in Amsterdam and was put forward by Martine Postma, a former journalist, in 2009 while writing about waste reduction and prevention. She recognized the lack of repair culture in daily life contributed significantly to the increasing waste problem. Postma established the first Repair Cafe in her neighborhood as a testing ground. The response was overwhelmingly positive, encouraging others to express interest in adopting the model in their communities. Postma initially worried about finding enough volunteers with the necessary skills, but she discovered that interested individuals with repair expertise (专长) were eager to get involved once the idea became known. Word of mouth played a significant role in attracting talented repairers to the cause. Looking toward the future, Postma said she hopes that as repair culture is revitalized (复兴), professional repairers will regain their importance, making a living from their skills. She imagines Repair Cafes in every community, creating a global movement to reduce waste and preserve resources. 17．What can we know about the Repair Cafe? A．It is a community-driven initiative. B．It recycles second-hand items. C．It operates as a commercial business. D．It focuses on fixing everyday objects. 18．Why was the idea of the Repair Cafe proposed? A．To set an example for others. B．To deal with resource shortage. C．To strengthen community ties. D．To reduce waste of resources. 19．What is skilled repairers’ attitude toward Postma’s idea? A．Objective. B．Doubtful. C．Favorable. D．Reserved. 20．What might Postma do next? A．Launch more meaningful movements. B．Make repairers a popular career choice. C．Promote the repair culture worldwide. D．Ensure good community development. （六） （2025·云南腾冲市第八中学·二模） Whether it’s choosing the size of your morning coffee, swiping through dating profiles, or considering whether to accept a big promotion at work, we’re presented with thousands of choices every day. Considering all the options before making any decision is sensible, and often happens quickly without too much thought. But what if you spend so much time weighing up the possibilities, in so much detail, that you’re actually unable to decide at all? This loop of overthinking is called decision paralysis, and although it might seem like an insignificant problem, or a slightly irritating personality quirk (怪癖), the truth may not be as you imagine. It could be related to more serious mental health conditions and impact your capacity to deal with everyday stress. What causes decision paralysis? Several factors play a role. Firstly, sometimes there are genuinely just too many options to choose from! With Google at your fingertips, it’s no wonder it takes you three days to order a new lip balm when there are 10 million search results to sift through. There is also the fear of failure, regret, or making a mistake that could have serious consequences on your work or personal life, as well as personality traits like perfectionism and people-pleasing. Different childhood environments can also contribute. Because attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and depression affect the brain’s executive function, decision paralysis can be more common for individuals with these conditions. If you think decision paralysis is a symptom of another condition, it’s important to talk to your general practitioner (全科医生). Talk to someone you trust. You know that thing where you talk through a problem with a friend, and before you’ve even finished explaining it, you’ve realized what the solution is? Verbalizing your options to a trusted pal can make a world of difference when you are in decision paralysis. Just make sure you’re upfront about exactly the kind of support you need. 21．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A．To provide study results. B．To state arguments. C．To make a definition. D．To introduce the topic. 22．Which of the following is NOT a cause of decision paralysis? A．Too many options. B．Fear of failure. C．Good childhood environment. D．Personality traits like perfectionism. 23．What does the underlined word “Verbalizing” mean in paragraph 5? A．Writing down. B．Thinking about. C．Expressing in words. D．Ignoring. 24．What can be inferred from the passage about decision paralysis? A．It can have a significant impact on one’s life. B．It only affects people with mental health disorders. C．It is a symptom of a serious disease. D．It is easy to overcome by oneself. （七） （2025·云南红河·二模） Scientists found more than 600 different viruses after examining people’s toothbrushes and showerheads — but thankfully, most of them are more helpful than harmful. Northwestern microbiologist Erica Hartmann, lead author of a new study published in Frontiers in Microbiomes, was quite shocked and interested when discovering that these everyday objects were full of bacteria-eating viruses known as bacteriophages (噬菌体). “There is so much about the world around us that we don’t understand — including the things that may seem familiar”, she explained. “We started out looking at things like toothbrushes and showerheads because they are important sources of microbes (微生物) that we’re exposed to, but we don’t know which microbes they carry or what factors influence them.” The latest study was an update to the Northwestern team’s 2021 project “Operation Pottymouth”, which focused on studying the sources of the bacteria found on toothbrushes. Though there were quite large numbers of types among the more than 600 bacteriophage samples, a type that kills illness-causing mycobacteria (分枝杆菌) was slightly more common than any other, Hartmann said. Given that mycobacteria can cause serious infections, it’s a good thing that viruses killing them were present as well. “Not only did we find different bacteriophages on toothbrushes and showerheads, but we also found different bacteriophages on each toothbrush and each showerhead.” the microbiologist said. Bacteriophages have in recent years been studied and used as treatments for bacterial infections, especially those hard to treat. While Hartmann insists these findings are attractive in themselves, knowing that they may be used in medical treatments makes them much more useful. “It could be,” she said, “that the next great medicine will be based on something that grew on your toothbrush.” While that’s not exactly pleasant to think about, it certainly sounds a lot better than leaving a mycobacterial infection untreated. 25．What made Hartmann feel shocked? A．Numerous viruses on daily necessities. B．Terrifying toothbrushes in everyday life. C．Bacteriophages killing various microbes. D．Surrounding things confusing us humans. 26．Why did the scientists study toothbrushes and showerheads lately? A．To test the accuracy of their former research. B．To look into the microbes on common objects. C．To improve the safety level of related products. D．To seek the treatments of some deadly diseases. 27．What can be inferred according to the text? A．Bacteriophages may lead to a new medicine. B．Mycobacterial infections can hardly be treated. C．The majority of bacteriophages are of little value. D．Different toothbrushes carry the same bacteriophages. 28．What does the text mainly talk about? A．Mycobacteria can probably cause diseases. B．Scientists show great interest in toothbrushes. C．Scientists are uncovering the secrets of infections. D．Viruses on everyday objects possess medical value. （八） （2025·云南红河·二模） Online shopping often involves endless options and discounts. A single search for running shoes can yield hundreds of results across multiple platforms, each promising the “best deal”. The holiday season brings excitement, but it also brings decision exhaustion and nightmares. What if there were a tool capable of hunting for the best prices, navigating endless sales, and making sure your purchases arrive on time? The next evolution in artificial intelligence is AI agents that are capable of autonomous reasoning and problem-solving. Unlike traditional recommendation engines, AI agents learn your preferences and handle tasks autonomously. The agents are built with machine learning and natural language processing. They learn from their interactions with the people using them and become smarter and more efficient over time from their collective interactions. Looking ahead, AI agents are likely to not only master personal shopping needs but also negotiate directly with corporate AI systems. They will not only learn your preferences but will likely be able to book tailored experiences, handle payments across platforms, and coordinate schedules. But can AI truly learn your preferences? A recent study using the GPT-4o model achieved 85% accuracy in imitating the thoughts and behaviors of over 1,000 people after they interacted with the AI for just two hours. This breakthrough finding suggests that digital agents can understand and act on people’s preferences in ways that will transform the shopping experience. AI agents are moving beyond recommendations to autonomously perform complex tasks such as automating refunds, managing inventory (存货) and approving pricing decisions. This evolution has already begun to reshape how businesses operate and how consumers interact with them. Retailers using AI agents are seeing measurable benefits. Since October 2024, data from the Salesforce shopping index reveals that digital retailers using generative AI achieved a 7%increase in average order revenue (收益) and attributed 17% of global orders to AI-driven personalized recommendations, targeted promotions and improved customer service. Meanwhile, the nature of search and advertising is undergoing a major shift. Meanwhile, AI-powered search tools deliver instant, context-aware responses, challenging traditional search engines and forcing advertisers to rethink their strategies. 29．What can be inferred from paragraph 1? A．Online shopping is widely preferred. B．Online shopping causes choice overload. C．Qualities of goods online can be promised. D．The holiday season witnesses more discounts. 30．How can the AI agents know the demands of customers? A．They learn it by interacting with customers. B．They are informed literally by the customers. C．They negotiate directly with consumers in need. D．They are originally equipped with such a service. 31．Which is a contributing factor to retailers’ increasing earnings? A．The autonomy of AI in completing complex tasks. B．The smooth payments and improved service of AI. C．The quick responses of AI to handle retailers’ problems. D．The tailored experience AI offered in the whole process. 32．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．AI Agents Are Enjoying Great Popularity. B．Online Shopping Is Experiencing a Revolution. C．AI Agents Are Lightening Your Purchasing Load. D．Online Shopping Challenges the Offline Shopping. （九） （2025·云南大理·二模） Tardigrades, with nicknames like “water bear”, may be the toughest animals on Earth. They have been around for at least 500 million years or so, possibly sharing a common ancestor with arthropods (节肢动物). Over 1,000 species are known today, including marine, freshwater, and terrestrial tardigrades. Tardigrades are near the edge of visibility for most human eyes. A typical tardigrade is about 0.5 mm long, and even the largest ones are less than 2 mm in length. Perhaps the most famous thing about tardigrades is their strange and mysterious durability. Tardigrades are not immortal, but they have a powerful adaptation that allows them to survive for decades in extreme conditions. To endure environmental stress, tardigrades suspend their metabolism (新陈代谢) through a process called cryptobiosis. Some tardigrades in a turn can handle pressure as high as 600 megapascals (MPa) . That’s nearly 6, 000 atmospheres, or 6, 000 times the pressure of Earth’s atmosphere at sea level, and it’s about six times higher than the pressure found in the planet’s deepest ocean trenches. Even half as much pressure, 300 MPa, would kill most multicellular life and bacteria. Two tardigrade species flew into low-Earth orbit on the FOTON-M3 mission in 2007, becoming the first animals known to survive direct exposure to space. The 12-day mission proved that exposure to the vacuum was no problem for them, and the lack of gravity had little effect, either. Some tardigrades even laid eggs during the mission. Research has shown tardigrades can survive roughly 1,000 times more radiation than a human. Chinese scientists have decoded the key mechanisms that make tardigrades radiation-resistant, which could shed light on how to make human beings stronger against radiation and how to increase the stress tolerance of human cells in the future, according to a study published in the journal Science in October 2024. 33．How does the author introduce the features of tardigrades in Paragraph 1? A．By making comparisons. B．By analyzing cause and effect. C．By showing examples. D．By listing figures. 34．Why can tardigrades possibly survive in extreme conditions according to this passage? A．Because they are immortal. B．Because they can change extreme conditions. C．Because they can regain life from death for many times. D．Because they slow down their metabolism. 35．When tardigrades face pressure or space, what is a possible condition? A．They can’t handle pressure more than 500 Mpa. B．They can only survive indirect exposure to space. C．They are almost not affected by the lack of gravity. D．They will be killed by the pressure about 300 Mpa. 36．What is the importance of the study of Chinese scientists? A．Their findings can be applied to help human beings. B．They focus on the reproduction of tardigrades. C．They study the dietary habits of tardigrades. D．They proved tardigrades radiant-resistant. （十） （2025·云南大理·二模） Regardless of what language we speak or whether we are blind or sighted, new research suggests a shared, universal non-verbal communication system comes to life when we gesture without talking. The study of children aged 3 to 12 years old was led by Șeyda Özçalışkan, a psychological scientist at Georgia State University in Atlanta and a native Turkish speaker who studies language development in different types of learners and different language speakers. One hundred children were asked first to describe an action with words and hand movements and then to describe the same action without speaking using only their hands (what’s known as silent gesture). Half the children were native English speakers, and the other 50 kids spoke Turkish as their first language. English and Turkish make for a good comparison because they differ in terms of how speakers of each language describe events. “If you’re speaking Turkish, if you want to describe someone running into a house, you have to break it down into smaller parts. You say, “he’s running and then he enters the house,” explains Özçalışkan. “But if it’s in English, they’ll just say ‘he ran into the house,’ all in one compact sentence.” When children spoke and gestured at the same time, their gestures followed the conventions of their native language: Turkish-speaking children ordered their gestures the same as they structured a sentence, and English-speaking children integrated theirs into one movement. However, when describing the same scenes without speaking, the sequences of the children’s hand gestures were remarkably similar. Language-specific differences in gestures had seemingly evaporated. Özçalışkan and colleagues also found similar descriptions in earlier work with adults: blind English and Turkish speakers organized their gestures the same as sighted speakers did when they refrained (克制) from speaking. Past studies in German and English-speaking children have also found silent gestures don’t necessarily follow the structure of a person’s native language. However, those studies didn’t directly compare different language speakers as this new one did. Of course, this research involved researchers interpreting abstract gestures from a few hundred — hardly enough data to support such a big claim, but certainly an interesting idea to explore. 37．Why did the researchers choose Turkish to make a comparison? A．Due to its similar sentence patterns. B．Due to its distinct description habits. C．Due to its impact on other languages. D．Due to its different cultural backgrounds. 38．What is the meaning of the underlined word “evaporated”? A．Disappeared. B．Expanded. C．Remained. D．Multiplied. 39．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Non-verbal communication is structured differently in different languages. B．Visual ability influences the structure of non-verbal communication. C．Non-verbal communication has universal similarities when silent. D．The study’s findings are definitive due to the large sample size. 40．What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To summarize the research methods adopted. B．To question the reliability of the study’s findings. C．To emphasize the significance of the research. D．To suggest potential areas for future research. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题03 阅读理解（说明文&议论文）（解析版） （一） （2025云南腾冲市第五中学·二模） Killer whales hunt fish with clicks and buzzes — they choose and chase their prey with sound waves. But boat traffic noise is hiding salmon (鲑鱼) from them, making their favorite meal harder to find. Ocean noise has been increasing over the years, and an international research team recently reported in Global Change Biology that when the water got too noisy, whales spent more time looking for food but caught fewer fish. The study tracked every move and sound that individual killer whale made, as well as the sound reaching them. Researchers found that for every decibel (分贝) increase in the maximum level of background noise reaching killer whales, they were four percent more likely to search for food and had a 12.5 percent lower chance of catching a fish they chased. Catching fewer fish means eating less and if the whales eat too little, they are at higher risk of having health problems, delaying or skipping having babies, or failing to support babies they do have. The killer whales are listed as endangered under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, and only 73 or 74 individuals remain. In Canada, they have healthier numbers, but Canadian law still lists them as threatened. The salmon that killer whales mostly rely on for food face their own challenges, such as water pollution, and warming freshwater habitats. The noise problem is one that researchers view as long lasting, yet possibly more straightforward to fix than declining fish populations or pollution—ships could simply slow down to make less noise. Washington State law requires vessels to reduce to a maximum seven knot speed within a half mile of the whales and limits the distance between a vessel and killer whales. The state is increasing the minimum distance to 1,000 yards starting January 1, 2025. Buzz about innovations in propeller (推进器) technology is also positive. A propeller by Sharrow Marine, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic. 1．How did the scientists do the researches? A．By doing experiments. B．By surveying questions. C．By tracing killer whales. D．By analyzing other researches. 2．What happens when ocean noise gets higher? A．Killer whales do more fish hunting. B．Killer whales don’t feel like eating. C．The number of fish is fast decreasing. D．Fish hide themselves from killer whales. 3．Why does the author mention the threats the salmon face? A．To prevent overfishing. B．To help reduce water pollution. C．To protect salmon from extinction. D．To stress a challenge of killer whales. 4．What’s new about the propeller by Sharrow Marine? A．It helps the ship go faster. B．It limits the speed of the ship. C．It produces less noise from the ship. D．It equips the ship with new technical devices. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文，一项研究表明，海洋噪音的增加会使虎鲸更难找到食物，研究人员认为，船只可以放慢速度，减少噪音，另外关于推进器技术创新的讨论也是积极的。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段内容“The study tracked every move and sound that individual killer whale made, as well as the sound reaching them.(这项研究追踪了每一头虎鲸的每一个动作和声音，以及到达它们的声音)”可知，这项研究是通过追踪虎鲸的移动和声音来进行的，故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段内容“Researchers found that for every decibel (分贝) increase in the maximum level of background noise reaching killer whales, they were four percent more likely to search for food and had a 12.5 percent lower chance of catching a fish they chased.(研究人员发现，到达虎鲸的最大背景噪音水平每增加一个分贝，它们寻找食物的可能性就会增加4%，捕获它们追逐的鱼的可能性就会降低12.5%)”可知，当噪音分贝增加，虎鲸就会增加4%的可能去觅食并且捕到食物的可能性还少12.5%。因此，当海洋噪音变得更高，虎鲸就需要去捕鱼，故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段内容“In Canada, they have healthier numbers, but Canadian law still lists them as threatened. The salmon that killer whales mostly rely on for food face their own challenges, such as water pollution, and warming freshwater habitats.(在加拿大，它们的数量更健康，但加拿大法律仍将它们列为受威胁物种。虎鲸主要依赖的鲑鱼面临着自己的挑战，比如水污染和淡水栖息地变暖)”可知，尽管在加拿大虎鲸的数量还算可观，但由于水污染以及变暖的淡水栖息地等问题，虎鲸赖以生存的食物鲑鱼面临着自身的生存挑战。结合全篇文章的中心，作者提及鲑鱼面临的挑战实际上是为了强调虎鲸的生存挑战，故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段内容“A propeller by Sharrow Marine, for example, is based on a design for a quieter drone propeller. If claims of a more efficient and quieter boat propeller are true, that’s good news for both reducing fuel use and quieting traffic.(例如，Sharrow Marine公司的推进器就是基于一种更安静的无人机螺旋桨的设计。如果更高效、更安静的船只推进器的说法是真的，那对减少燃料使用和安静交通来说都是好消息)”可知，新型推进器可以产生较低的噪音，故选C。 （二） （2025云南腾冲市第五中学·二模） When it comes to problem-solving, virtually everyone can use either insightful or analytical methods, but many people tend to use one rather than the other. Mathematician Roger Penrose, for example, can obviously think analytically but seems to be naturally insightful. “I do most of my thinking in visual terms rather than writing down equations (方程式),” he once said in an interview. In the 2010s Brian Erickson, then a doctoral student at Drexel University, and his colleagues demonstrated that people’s tendency toward insightful or analytical thinking is evident during “resting-state” brain activity—while a person relaxes with no task to perform or expectation about what is to come. Erickson recorded people’s resting-state EEGs (脑电图) and then, weeks later, tasked the same participants with solving a series of puzzles. The astonishing result: a few minutes of EEG predicted, up to seven weeks in advance, whether a person would solve the puzzles mostly insightfully or analytically. Our dominant thinking style is stable over time. The subjects who relied mostly on insight had greater resting-state activity at the back of the brain, whereas the analytical subjects had greater activity in frontal areas. The frontal areas, where a person’s executive processes are centered, organize activity in the rest of the brain. These executive processes enable people to think in a focused and strategic way, but they can also restrict creativity by limiting thought to straightforward plans, just as a horse’s blinders block out distractions that would lead it to wander from its path. When activity in this region is relatively low, as it was for the insightful subjects, posterior (后部) areas can “go rogue,” sometimes resulting in aha! moments. Although individuals may tend toward more analytical or insightful thinking, we aren’t locked into one or the other. Our thinking style can shift, at least temporarily, to the other strategy. This flexibility is key to making the best possible use of both creativity and logic in our decision-making. By using the right strategy at the right time, we can address challenges more effectively, enhancing our ability to think critically and innovatively. 5．What does the example of Roger Penrose illustrate? A．Visual images help solve a problem. B．Scientists favor an insightful solution. C．Note-taking negatively affects thinking. D．People have a preferred way of thinking. 6．What did Brian Erickson’s study reveal about resting-state brain activity? A．It predicts our future growth. B．It reflects our thinking ability. C．It indicates our dominant thinking style. D．It determines our problem-solving speed. 7．What does the underlined expression “go rogue” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Get stuck. B．Run wild. C．Grow mature. D．Become inactive. 8．What advice does the author give in the last paragraph? A．Follow your natural thinking style. B．Adjust your thinking style as needed. C．Reflect on your thinking style regularly. D．Limit your analytical thinking to stay creative. 【答案】5．D 6．C 7．B 8．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们在解决问题时，会倾向于使用洞察力或分析方法，并介绍了相关研究结果，同时指出人们可以调整自己的思维方式。 5．推理判断题。根据第一段中“When it comes to problem-solving, virtually everyone can use either insightful or analytical methods, but many people tend to use one rather than the other. Mathematician Roger Penrose, for example, can obviously think analytically but seems to be naturally insightful. “I do most of my thinking in visual terms rather than writing down equations(方程式),” he once said in an interview. (当涉及到解决问题时，几乎每个人都可以使用有洞察力的或分析的方法，但许多人倾向于使用一种而不是另一种。例如，数学家罗杰·彭罗斯显然可以进行分析性思考，但似乎天生就很有洞察力。“我大部分的思考都是用视觉的方式，而不是写下方程式，”他曾在一次采访中说)”可知，作者通过罗杰·彭罗斯的例子说明人们有自己偏好的思维方式。故选D。 6．细节理解题。根据第二段“In the 2010s Brian Erickson, then a doctoral student at Drexel University, and his colleagues demonstrated that people’s tendency toward insightful or analytical thinking is evident during “resting-state” brain activity—while a person relaxes with no task to perform or expectation about what is to come.

(前额叶区域是一个人执行过程的中心，它组织着大脑其他部分的活动。这些执行过程使人们能够以专注和战略性的方式思考，但它们也可以通过将思维限制在直接的计划中来限制创造力，就像马匹的眼罩阻挡了导致它偏离道路的干扰一样。当这个区域的活动相对较低时，就像有洞察力的受试者一样，后部区域可能会“go rogue”，有时会产生顿悟时刻)”可知，当大脑前额叶区域的活动相对较低时，后部区域可能会“失控，自我发挥”，有时会产生顿悟时刻。由此可知，画线短语“go rogue”意为“失控，自由发挥”。A. Get stuck陷入困境/停滞不前；B. Run wild肆意妄为/失去控制；C. Grow mature变得成熟；D. Become inactive变得不活跃。 故选B。 8．细节理解题。根据最后一段“By using the right strategy at the right time, we can address challenges more effectively, enhancing our ability to think critically and innovatively. (通过在正确的时间使用正确的策略，我们可以更有效地应对挑战，提高我们批判性和创新性思维的能力)”可知，作者在最后一段建议人们根据需要调整思维方式。故选B。 （三） （2025·云南曲靖·二模） Like much of Hawaii’s wildlife, Hawaiian crows began to dwindle after the arrival of Western settlers. Their native forest habitat was converted to agriculture. Mosquitoes, brought in on ships, carried serious diseases. Introduced species, like rats and mongoose, preyed (捕食)on native birds and their eggs. It’s why dozens of Hawaii’s birds have gone extinct. To avoid that fate, many remaining species have been brought into captivity (圈养), living in what are essentially isolated savings banks for biodiversity. Hawaiian crows were brought into captivity beginning in the 1970s. Over time, the population has grown to more than 100. Releasing them back into the wild has hit some speed bumps. The crows were traditionally found on Hawaii’s Big Island, where wildlife officials tried to release them in 2016. Their native predator (天敌), a hawk, lives there as well, so the birds received some predator training to prepare them. Still, the crows’ numbers fell, and the remaining birds were recaptured. Now, the birds are being released on Maui, where no hawks are found. In the forest, the birds have a netted enclosure they can return to if needed, and over time they have flown farther and farther into the forest. Still, becoming wild again will be a process for the birds. They’re still being carefully monitored and are receiving supplemental food from a field team of biologists. While the caretakers in captivity tried to minimize human contact, the crows aren’t accustomed to searching for food on their own yet. Experts say the challenge is there’s no playbook for returning animals to the wild after generations in captivity. Researchers are figuring out what the crows need as they go. For some other species in captivity, there’s still no way to release them, because the threats from diseases like avian malaria are still too great. It’s why every small step forward is important for conservation in Hawaii. “It’s extremely hopeful. I don’t want to say they’re wild now and everything is done, but just the fact that we have gotten to this point is a big success,” says Hanna Mounce, manager of the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, which helped release the birds. 9．What does the underlined word “dwindle” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A．Decline. B．Thrive. C．Exist. D．Evolve. 10．What does the author say about the initial attempt to release crows back into the wild? A．It turned out a great success. B．It on countered some difficulties. C．It posed a threat to hawks. D．It took place on Maui. 11．What is the current situation of the crows released on Maui? A．They keep staying in a netted enclosure. B．They adapt to life in the wild instantly. C．They carefully monitor the supplemental food. D．They aren’t used to looking for food by themselves. 12．What does Hanna Mounce think of rewilding the crows? A．It is promising. B．It is effortless. C．It is in vain. D．It is unachievable. 【答案】9．A 10．B 11．D 12．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文文章主要讲述了夏威夷乌鸦因西方移民者的到来而数量减少，以及通过圈养和重新放归野外来保护这一物种的努力和挑战。 9．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Like much of Hawaii’s wildlife, Hawaiian crows began to dwindle after the arrival of Western settlers. Their native forest habitat was converted to agriculture. Mosquitoes, brought in on ships, carried serious diseases. Introduced species, like rats and mongoose, preyed (捕食)on native birds and their eggs. It’s why dozens of Hawaii’s birds have gone extinct.(像夏威夷的许多野生动物一样，在西方移民者的到来后，夏威夷乌鸦的数量开始dwindle。它们的原生森林栖息地被改造成了农田。船上带来的蚊子携带了严重的疾病。引进的物种，如老鼠和猫鼬，捕食本地鸟类及其蛋。这就是为什么夏威夷有几十种鸟类已经灭绝的原因)”可知，夏威夷乌鸦的数量在减少。由此可知，划线词dwindle与decline“减少”意思一致。故选A。 10．细节理解题。根据第三段“Releasing them back into the wild has hit some speed bumps.(将它们放归野外遇到了一些阻碍)”可知，最初放归乌鸦遇到了困难。故选B。 11．细节理解题。根据第五段“Now, the birds are being released on Maui, where no hawks are found.(现在，这些鸟在毛伊岛被放归，那里没有鹰)”及“While the caretakers in captivity tried to minimize human contact, the crows aren’t accustomed to searching for food on their own yet.(虽然圈养的看护人员试图尽量减少与人类的接触，但乌鸦还不习惯自己寻找食物)”可知，在毛伊岛放归的乌鸦还不习惯自己找食物。故选D。 12．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““It’s extremely hopeful. I don’t want to say they’re wild now and everything is done, but just the fact that we have gotten to this point is a big success,” says Hanna Mounce, manager of the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, which helped release the birds.(“这是非常有希望的。我不想说它们现在是野生的，一切都已经完成了，但我们已经达到了这一点，这是一个巨大的成功，”毛伊岛森林鸟类恢复项目的经理汉娜·蒙斯说，该项目帮助放归了这些鸟)”可推知，汉娜·蒙斯认为放归乌鸦是有希望的。故选A。 （四） （2025·云南曲靖·二模） Many individuals perceive Australia as an amazing nation brimming with opportunities. Yet, its beginnings were quite different. In 1788, British colonizers made a journey into Australia. Approximately 750convicts (囚犯) were on the ships that were referred to as the First Fleet. These convicts were the ones who played a role in establishing the Australian colony. Australians are all familiar with the concept of convicts. We are aware that they originated from the United Kingdom, and there they had committed minor crimes. But during my time at school, I learned more about prominent national figures like Captain Arthur Phillip, who commanded the First Fleet, rather than about the convicts themselves. Nevertheless, the Australian-born author Robert Hughes believed that this approach was presenting a sanitized (被美化的) version of their history. As a result, he embarked on a decade-long exploration to uncover the genuine story of the convicts. In 1988, he published his book titled The Fatal Shore: The Epic of Australia’s Founding. At the start of this 688-page book, Hughes describes the convicts’ journey to Australia that lasted over 200 days on ships. They were caged below the deck and constantly suffered from seasickness. Hughes mentions that the oldest convict was Dorothy Handland, an 82-year-old clothes merchant who was convicted of lying in a court of law. It is precisely this level of detailed description that makes the book so attractive to me. Hughes used numerous primary sources, such as letters written by various individuals and news articles from that era, to support his arguments. This not only provides us with factual information but also brings to light stories that are not widely known. By piecing all these elements together, he effectively makes the history come alive. Upon reaching the “fatal shore”, the convicts were made to work. They were involved in building roads, bridges, and hospitals, and also worked on government farms. Working from dawn till dusk, from Monday to Saturday, their lives were extremely difficult. However, in some places, it was even harsher, depending on the person in charge. For instance, Hughes states that Tasmania was known as the “convicts’ hell”. He also added that the general tendency among Australians to dislike authority has its roots in the convict past. Over the course of 80 long years, a total of more than 162,000 convicts were transported from the UK to Australia. Once this period of convicts in Australian history came to an end, there was an attempt to forget these “dark shadows of the past”, as Hughes put it. 13．What motivated Hughes to write his book published in 1988? A．His passion for history and his fondness for traveling. B．His curiosity about prominent national personalities. C．His strong wish to uncover the real story. D．His respect and admiration for Arthur Phillip. 14．How does Hughes support his viewpoints within the book? A．By quoting official documents. B．By including firsthand materials. C．By making use of well-known stories. D．By mentioning the opinions of historical experts. 15．What led to Tasmania being given the name “convicts’ hell”? A．The cruel and tough treatment from strict authorities. B．The extremely harsh and difficult natural surroundings. C．The frequent conflicts among the local people. D．A shortage of resources required for construction work. 16．What does Hughes say about the past of Australian convicts? A．It shows Australia is a wonderful country full of opportunities. B．It is highly valued and taught in detail in Australian schools. C．It accounts for the dislike of authorities among Australians. D．It is always deeply carved into Australians’ hearts. 【答案】13．C 14．B 15．A 16．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了澳大利亚的历史背景，特别是关于英国殖民时期将囚犯运送到澳大利亚建立殖民地的历史。详细描述了囚犯们的旅程、在澳大利亚的生活和工作情况，以及这段历史对澳大利亚社会和文化的影响。 13．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Nevertheless, the Australian-born author Robert Hughes believed that this approach was presenting a sanitized (被美化的) version of their history. As a result, he embarked on a decade-long exploration to uncover the genuine story of the convicts. In 1988, he published his book titled The Fatal Shore: The Epic of Australia’s Founding.(然而，澳大利亚本土作家Robert Hughes认为，这种方式呈现的是经过美化的澳大利亚历史版本。因此，他展开了长达十年的探索，试图揭开囚犯们的真实故事。1988年，他出版了名为《致命海岸：澳大利亚建国史诗》的书籍。)”可知， 澳大利亚本土作家Robert Hughes认为之前呈现的历史是被美化过的版本，所以他开始了长达十年的探索，想要揭开囚犯们的真实故事，之后出版了这本书。因此，促使Hughes写1988年出版的那本书的原因是他强烈希望揭开真实的故事。故选C。 14．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Hughes used numerous primary sources, such as letters written by various individuals and news articles from that era, to support his arguments.( Hughes使用了大量的一手资料，比如不同人写的信件以及那个时代的新闻文章，来支持他的观点。)”可知，Hughes使用了大量的一手资料，如不同人写的信件以及那个时代的新闻文章来支持他的观点。故选B。 15．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Upon reaching the “fatal shore”, the convicts were made to work. They were involved in building roads, bridges, and hospitals, and also worked on government farms. Working from dawn till dusk, from Monday to Saturday, their lives were extremely difficult. However, in some places, it was even harsher, depending on the person in charge. For instance, Hughes states that Tasmania was known as the “convicts’ hell”. He also added that the general tendency among Australians to dislike authority has its roots in the convict past. (到达“致命海岸”后，囚犯们被迫劳作。他们参与修建道路、桥梁和医院，还在政府农场工作。从黎明一直工作到黄昏，从周一工作到周六，他们的生活极其艰难。不过，在某些地方，情况甚至更为恶劣，这取决于负责人。例如，Hughes称塔斯马尼亚岛被称为“囚犯的地狱”。他还补充说，澳大利亚人普遍不喜欢权威的倾向源于那段囚犯历史。)”可知，塔斯马尼亚岛被称为“囚犯的地狱”是因为当地负责人的管理方式更加严酷，囚犯们受到了残酷的对待。故选A。 16．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“For instance, Hughes states that Tasmania was known as the “convicts’ hell”. He also added that the general tendency among Australians to dislike authority has its roots in the convict past. (例如，Hughes称塔斯马尼亚岛被称为“囚犯的地狱”。他还补充说，澳大利亚人普遍不喜欢权威的倾向源于那段囚犯历史。)”可知，Hughes提到塔斯马尼亚被称为“囚犯的地狱”，并且补充说澳大利亚人普遍不喜欢权威的倾向源于那段囚犯历史。由此可知，Hughes认为澳大利亚囚犯的过去解释了澳大利亚人不喜欢权威的原因。故选C。 （五） （2025·云南腾冲市第八中学·二模） If you have any broken items or clothes full of holes lying around in your home, bring them to the repair cafe. The Repair Cafe, located within Sulzer Regional Library in Chicago, operates for two hours on the second Saturday of each month, providing a certain time and place for nearby residents to seek assistance with repairing their precious belongings. From rewiring toys to resewing stuffed animals and clothes, the Repair Cafe’s volunteers skilfully tackle various challenges. The Repair Cafe operates on a nonprofit model, offering its services for free. Furthermore, participants are invited to make voluntary donations, which are then used to purchase specific tools needed for repairs or organize team-building activities for the volunteers. The concept of the Repair Cafe originated in Amsterdam and was put forward by Martine Postma, a former journalist, in 2009 while writing about waste reduction and prevention. She recognized the lack of repair culture in daily life contributed significantly to the increasing waste problem. Postma established the first Repair Cafe in her neighborhood as a testing ground. The response was overwhelmingly positive, encouraging others to express interest in adopting the model in their communities. Postma initially worried about finding enough volunteers with the necessary skills, but she discovered that interested individuals with repair expertise (专长) were eager to get involved once the idea became known. Word of mouth played a significant role in attracting talented repairers to the cause. Looking toward the future, Postma said she hopes that as repair culture is revitalized (复兴), professional repairers will regain their importance, making a living from their skills. She imagines Repair Cafes in every community, creating a global movement to reduce waste and preserve resources. 17．What can we know about the Repair Cafe? A．It is a community-driven initiative. B．It recycles second-hand items. C．It operates as a commercial business. D．It focuses on fixing everyday objects. 18．Why was the idea of the Repair Cafe proposed? A．To set an example for others. B．To deal with resource shortage. C．To strengthen community ties. D．To reduce waste of resources. 19．What is skilled repairers’ attitude toward Postma’s idea? A．Objective. B．Doubtful. C．Favorable. D．Reserved. 20．What might Postma do next? A．Launch more meaningful movements. B．Make repairers a popular career choice. C．Promote the repair culture worldwide. D．Ensure good community development. 【答案】17．D 18．D 19．C 20．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了“维修咖啡馆”，包括其起源和发展。 17．细节理解题。根据第一段中“If you have any broken items or clothes full of holes lying around in your home, bring them to the repair cafe.(如果你家里有任何破损的物品或满是洞的衣服，把它们带到修理咖啡馆)”和“From rewiring toys to resewing stuffed animals and clothes, the Repair Cafe’s volunteers skilfully tackle various challenges.(从重新组装玩具到重新缝制毛绒动物和衣服，‘维修咖啡馆’的志愿者们熟练地应对各种挑战)”可知，“维修咖啡馆”主要修理日常物品，故选D。 18．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The concept of the Repair Cafe originated in Amsterdam and was put forward by Martine Postma, a former journalist, in 2009 while writing about waste reduction and prevention.(‘维修咖啡馆’的概念起源于阿姆斯特丹，由前记者Martine Postma于2009年在撰写有关减少和预防废物的文章时提出)”可知，提出“维修咖啡馆”的想法是为了减少浪费，故选D。 19．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Postma initially worried about finding enough volunteers with the necessary skills, but she discovered that interested individuals with repair expertise (专长) were eager to get involved once the idea became known.(一开始，Postma担心找不到足够的具备必要技能的志愿者，但她发现，一旦这个想法被知道，有兴趣的、有维修专业知识的人都渴望参与进来)”可知，专业的维修人员渴望参与进来，推知他们对Postma的想法持支持态度，故选C。 20．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Looking toward the future, Postma said she hopes that as repair culture is revitalized (复兴), professional repairers will regain their importance, making a living from their skills. She imagines Repair Cafes in every community, creating a global movement to reduce waste and preserve resources.(展望未来，Postma说，她希望随着维修文化的复兴，专业维修人员将重获重视，依靠他们的技能谋生。她设想在每个社区都开设‘维修咖啡馆’，发起一场减少浪费和保护资源的全球运动)”可知，Postma接下来可能在全球推广维修文化，故选C。 （六） （2025·云南腾冲市第八中学·二模） Whether it’s choosing the size of your morning coffee, swiping through dating profiles, or considering whether to accept a big promotion at work, we’re presented with thousands of choices every day. Considering all the options before making any decision is sensible, and often happens quickly without too much thought. But what if you spend so much time weighing up the possibilities, in so much detail, that you’re actually unable to decide at all? This loop of overthinking is called decision paralysis, and although it might seem like an insignificant problem, or a slightly irritating personality quirk (怪癖), the truth may not be as you imagine. It could be related to more serious mental health conditions and impact your capacity to deal with everyday stress. What causes decision paralysis? Several factors play a role. Firstly, sometimes there are genuinely just too many options to choose from! With Google at your fingertips, it’s no wonder it takes you three days to order a new lip balm when there are 10 million search results to sift through. There is also the fear of failure, regret, or making a mistake that could have serious consequences on your work or personal life, as well as personality traits like perfectionism and people-pleasing. Different childhood environments can also contribute. Because attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and depression affect the brain’s executive function, decision paralysis can be more common for individuals with these conditions. If you think decision paralysis is a symptom of another condition, it’s important to talk to your general practitioner (全科医生). Talk to someone you trust. You know that thing where you talk through a problem with a friend, and before you’ve even finished explaining it, you’ve realized what the solution is? Verbalizing your options to a trusted pal can make a world of difference when you are in decision paralysis. Just make sure you’re upfront about exactly the kind of support you need. 21．What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? A．To provide study results. B．To state arguments. C．To make a definition. D．To introduce the topic. 22．Which of the following is NOT a cause of decision paralysis? A．Too many options. B．Fear of failure. C．Good childhood environment. D．Personality traits like perfectionism. 23．What does the underlined word “Verbalizing” mean in paragraph 5? A．Writing down. B．Thinking about. C．Expressing in words. D．Ignoring. 24．What can be inferred from the passage about decision paralysis? A．It can have a significant impact on one’s life. B．It only affects people with mental health disorders. C．It is a symptom of a serious disease. D．It is easy to overcome by oneself. 【答案】21．D 22．C 23．C 24．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章围绕决策瘫痪展开，先介绍它是过度思考致无法决策的现象，接着分析其成因，包括选项多、恐惧等，最后给出与信任之人交流的应对办法 。 21．推理判断题。根据第一段“Whether it’s choosing the size of your morning coffee, swiping through dating profiles, or considering whether to accept a big promotion at work, we’re presented with thousands of choices every day. But what if you spend so much time weighing up the possibilities, in so much detail, that you’re actually unable to decide at all?(无论是选择你早上咖啡的大小，浏览约会资料，还是考虑是否接受工作中的重大晋升，我们每天都会面临成千上万的选择。但是，如果你花了这么多时间如此详细地权衡各种可能性，以至于你实际上根本无法做出决定呢？)”以及下文可知，文章第一段是通过日常例子引出“决策瘫痪”这一话题。故选D项。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段“Firstly, sometimes there are genuinely just too many options to choose from! There is also the fear of failure, regret, or making a mistake that could have serious consequences on your work or personal life, as well as personality traits like perfectionism and people-pleasing. Different childhood environments can also contribute.(首先，有时确实有太多的选择可供选择！还有对失败、后悔或犯一个可能对你的工作或个人生活产生严重后果的错误的恐惧，以及像完美主义和取悦他人这样的个性特征。不同的童年环境也会有影响。)”可知，A、B和D项都是决策瘫痪的原因，而文中说的是不同的童年环境有影响，未提及良好的童年环境会导致决策瘫痪，所以C选项Good childhood environment(良好的童年环境)不是原因。故选C项。 23．词句猜测题。根据第五段“Talk to someone you trust. You know that thing where you talk through a problem with a friend, and before you’ve even finished explaining it, you’ve realized what the solution is? Verbalizing your options to a trusted pal can make a world of difference when you are in decision paralysis.(和你信任的人谈谈。你知道那种情况吗，你和朋友讨论一个问题，甚至在你还没解释完的时候，你就已经意识到解决方案是什么了？当你处于决策瘫痪状态时，向一个值得信赖的朋友Verbalizing你的选择可能会产生很大的不同。)”可知，作者建议你向你信任的人倾诉问题，这里Verbalizing与前面talk through a problem(讨论问题)以及explaining it(解释它)相呼应，意思是“用语言表达”的意思。故选C项。 24．推理判断题。根据第二段“This loop of overthinking is called decision paralysis, and although it might seem like an insignificant problem, or a slightly irritating personality quirk (怪癖), the truth may not be as you imagine. It could be related to more serious mental health conditions and impact your capacity to deal with everyday stress.(这种过度思考的循环被称为决策瘫痪，尽管它可能看起来像是一个微不足道的问题，或者是一个有点烦人的个性怪癖，但事实可能并不像你想象的那样。它可能与更严重的心理健康状况有关，并影响你应对日常压力的能力。) ”可知，决策瘫痪可能会对一个人的生活产生重大影响。故选A项。 （七） （2025·云南红河·二模） Scientists found more than 600 different viruses after examining people’s toothbrushes and showerheads — but thankfully, most of them are more helpful than harmful. Northwestern microbiologist Erica Hartmann, lead author of a new study published in Frontiers in Microbiomes, was quite shocked and interested when discovering that these everyday objects were full of bacteria-eating viruses known as bacteriophages (噬菌体). “There is so much about the world around us that we don’t understand — including the things that may seem familiar”, she explained. “We started out looking at things like toothbrushes and showerheads because they are important sources of microbes (微生物) that we’re exposed to, but we don’t know which microbes they carry or what factors influence them.” The latest study was an update to the Northwestern team’s 2021 project “Operation Pottymouth”, which focused on studying the sources of the bacteria found on toothbrushes. Though there were quite large numbers of types among the more than 600 bacteriophage samples, a type that kills illness-causing mycobacteria (分枝杆菌) was slightly more common than any other, Hartmann said. Given that mycobacteria can cause serious infections, it’s a good thing that viruses killing them were present as well. “Not only did we find different bacteriophages on toothbrushes and showerheads, but we also found different bacteriophages on each toothbrush and each showerhead.” the microbiologist said. Bacteriophages have in recent years been studied and used as treatments for bacterial infections, especially those hard to treat. While Hartmann insists these findings are attractive in themselves, knowing that they may be used in medical treatments makes them much more useful. “It could be,” she said, “that the next great medicine will be based on something that grew on your toothbrush.” While that’s not exactly pleasant to think about, it certainly sounds a lot better than leaving a mycobacterial infection untreated. 25．What made Hartmann feel shocked? A．Numerous viruses on daily necessities. B．Terrifying toothbrushes in everyday life. C．Bacteriophages killing various microbes. D．Surrounding things confusing us humans. 26．Why did the scientists study toothbrushes and showerheads lately? A．To test the accuracy of their former research. B．To look into the microbes on common objects. C．To improve the safety level of related products. D．To seek the treatments of some deadly diseases. 27．What can be inferred according to the text? A．Bacteriophages may lead to a new medicine. B．Mycobacterial infections can hardly be treated. C．The majority of bacteriophages are of little value. D．Different toothbrushes carry the same bacteriophages. 28．What does the text mainly talk about? A．Mycobacteria can probably cause diseases. B．Scientists show great interest in toothbrushes. C．Scientists are uncovering the secrets of infections. D．Viruses on everyday objects possess medical value. 【答案】25．A 26．B 27．A 28．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍西北大学的微生物学专家Erica Hartmann和团队一起，对我们日常生活中使用的牙刷和淋浴喷头进行研究，发现600多种噬菌体。这些噬菌体可用于医学领域，治疗分枝杆菌导致的严重感染。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“Northwestern microbiologist Erica Hartmann, lead author of a new study published in Frontiers in Microbiomes, was quite shocked and interested when discovering that these everyday objects were full of bacteria-eating viruses known as bacteriophages (噬菌体).(西北大学微生物学家Erica Hartmann是发表在Frontiers in Microbiomes杂志上的一项新研究的主要作者，当她发现这些日常用品中充满了被称为噬菌体的噬菌病毒时，她感到非常震惊和感兴趣)”可知，Erica Hartmann是对我们日常必需品（牙刷、喷头）上携带如此多的噬菌体感到惊讶。故选A。 26．细节理解题。 根据第二段 “We started out looking at things like toothbrushes and showerheads because they are important sources of microbes (微生物) that we’re exposed to, but we don’t know which microbes they carry or what factors influence them.(我们开始研究牙刷和莲蓬头之类的东西，因为它们是我们接触到的微生物的重要来源，但我们不知道它们携带哪些微生物，也不知道是什么因素影响了它们)” 可知，科学家选择牙刷、喷头作为研究对象，原因是要对它们所携带的微生物进行深入研究。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“While Hartmann insists these findings are attractive in themselves, knowing that they may be used in medical treatments makes them much more useful. ‘It could be,’ she said, ‘that the next great medicine will be based on something that grew on your toothbrush.’(虽然Hartmann坚持认为这些发现本身很有吸引力，但知道它们可能用于医学治疗使它们更有用。‘很有可能，’她说，‘下一种伟大的药物将基于生长在你牙刷上的某种东西。’)”可知，牙刷上发现的物质，即第一段提到的600多种不同的病毒（噬菌体），很可能会催生下一代伟大的药物。因此，它们可能会促使新药的产生。故选A。 28．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Erica Hartmann团队在牙刷和喷头上发现了多种噬菌体，可用于治疗分枝杆菌导致的严重感染。最后一段中“‘It could be,’ she said, ‘that the next great medicine will be based on something that grew on your toothbrush.’(‘很有可能，’她说，‘下一种伟大的药物将基于生长在你牙刷上的某种东西。’)”中 Erica Hartmann预言，新药物的产生很有可能要依靠牙刷上发现的这些噬菌体。由此可知文章的主题是日常物品上的噬菌体具有医学价值。故选D。 （八） （2025·云南红河·二模） Online shopping often involves endless options and discounts. A single search for running shoes can yield hundreds of results across multiple platforms, each promising the “best deal”. The holiday season brings excitement, but it also brings decision exhaustion and nightmares. What if there were a tool capable of hunting for the best prices, navigating endless sales, and making sure your purchases arrive on time? The next evolution in artificial intelligence is AI agents that are capable of autonomous reasoning and problem-solving. Unlike traditional recommendation engines, AI agents learn your preferences and handle tasks autonomously. The agents are built with machine learning and natural language processing. They learn from their interactions with the people using them and become smarter and more efficient over time from their collective interactions. Looking ahead, AI agents are likely to not only master personal shopping needs but also negotiate directly with corporate AI systems. They will not only learn your preferences but will likely be able to book tailored experiences, handle payments across platforms, and coordinate schedules. But can AI truly learn your preferences? A recent study using the GPT-4o model achieved 85% accuracy in imitating the thoughts and behaviors of over 1,000 people after they interacted with the AI for just two hours. This breakthrough finding suggests that digital agents can understand and act on people’s preferences in ways that will transform the shopping experience. AI agents are moving beyond recommendations to autonomously perform complex tasks such as automating refunds, managing inventory (存货) and approving pricing decisions. This evolution has already begun to reshape how businesses operate and how consumers interact with them. Retailers using AI agents are seeing measurable benefits. Since October 2024, data from the Salesforce shopping index reveals that digital retailers using generative AI achieved a 7%increase in average order revenue (收益) and attributed 17% of global orders to AI-driven personalized recommendations, targeted promotions and improved customer service. Meanwhile, the nature of search and advertising is undergoing a major shift. Meanwhile, AI-powered search tools deliver instant, context-aware responses, challenging traditional search engines and forcing advertisers to rethink their strategies. 29．What can be inferred from paragraph 1? A．Online shopping is widely preferred. B．Online shopping causes choice overload. C．Qualities of goods online can be promised.

They have been around for at least 500 million years or so, possibly sharing a common ancestor with arthropods (节肢动物). Over 1,000 species are known today, including marine, freshwater, and terrestrial tardigrades. Tardigrades are near the edge of visibility for most human eyes. A typical tardigrade is about 0.5 mm long, and even the largest ones are less than 2 mm in length. Perhaps the most famous thing about tardigrades is their strange and mysterious durability. Tardigrades are not immortal, but they have a powerful adaptation that allows them to survive for decades in extreme conditions. To endure environmental stress, tardigrades suspend their metabolism (新陈代谢) through a process called cryptobiosis. Some tardigrades in a turn can handle pressure as high as 600 megapascals (MPa) . That’s nearly 6, 000 atmospheres, or 6, 000 times the pressure of Earth’s atmosphere at sea level, and it’s about six times higher than the pressure found in the planet’s deepest ocean trenches. Even half as much pressure, 300 MPa, would kill most multicellular life and bacteria. Two tardigrade species flew into low-Earth orbit on the FOTON-M3 mission in 2007, becoming the first animals known to survive direct exposure to space. The 12-day mission proved that exposure to the vacuum was no problem for them, and the lack of gravity had little effect, either. Some tardigrades even laid eggs during the mission. Research has shown tardigrades can survive roughly 1,000 times more radiation than a human. Chinese scientists have decoded the key mechanisms that make tardigrades radiation-resistant, which could shed light on how to make human beings stronger against radiation and how to increase the stress tolerance of human cells in the future, according to a study published in the journal Science in October 2024. 33．How does the author introduce the features of tardigrades in Paragraph 1? A．By making comparisons. B．By analyzing cause and effect. C．By showing examples. D．By listing figures. 34．Why can tardigrades possibly survive in extreme conditions according to this passage? A．Because they are immortal. B．Because they can change extreme conditions. C．Because they can regain life from death for many times. D．Because they slow down their metabolism. 35．When tardigrades face pressure or space, what is a possible condition? A．They can’t handle pressure more than 500 Mpa. B．They can only survive indirect exposure to space. C．They are almost not affected by the lack of gravity. D．They will be killed by the pressure about 300 Mpa. 36．What is the importance of the study of Chinese scientists? A．Their findings can be applied to help human beings. B．They focus on the reproduction of tardigrades. C．They study the dietary habits of tardigrades. D．They proved tardigrades radiant-resistant. 【答案】33．D 34．D 35．C 36．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍水熊虫的极端生存能力。它们能够在地球上一些最极端的条件下生存，可耐受超强辐射、干燥等极端生存环境。针对水熊虫这种神奇的极端生命体抗辐射等机制的研究，有助于帮助人类更好地研究如何提高人类的抗辐射能力和抗压能力。 33．推理判断题。根据第一段“Tardigrades have been around for at least 500 million years or so, possibly sharing a common ancestor with arthropods (节肢动物). Over 1,000 species are known today, including marine, fresh water and terrestrial tardigrades. Tardigrades are near the edge of visibility for most human eyes. A typical tardigrade is about 0.5mm long, and even the largest ones are less than 2 mm in length.(水熊虫已经存在了至少5亿年左右，可能与节肢动物有共同的祖先。目前已知的水熊虫有1000多种，包括海洋、淡水和陆地缓步动物。水熊虫接近大多数人眼可见的边缘。典型的水熊虫体长约0.5毫米，最大的也不到2毫米)”可知，本段以列数字的方式介绍了水熊虫的存在历史以及水熊虫的躯体特征。故选D。 34．细节理解题。根据第二段“To endure environmental stress, tardigrades suspend their metabolism (新陈代谢) through a process called cryptobiosis.(为了承受环境压力，水熊虫通过一种被称为隐生的过程暂停新陈代谢)”可知，水熊虫可以在极端条件下生存是因为它们减缓了新陈代谢。故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The 12-day mission proved that exposure to the vacuum was no problem for them, and the lack of gravity had little effect, either. Some tardigrades even laid eggs during the mission. Research has shown tardigrades can survive roughly 1,000 times more radiation than a human.(这次为期12天的任务证明，暴露在真空中对它们来说没有问题，而且没有重力也没有什么影响。一些水熊虫甚至在任务期间产卵。研究表明，水熊虫的生存能力是人类的1000倍)”可知，当水熊虫面临压力或真空时，它们几乎不受缺乏重力的影响。故选C。 36．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Chinese scientists have decoded the key mechanisms that make tardigrades radiation-resistant, which could shed light on how to make human beings stronger against radiation and how to incrnease the stress tolerance of human cells in the future, according to a study published in the journal Science in Octobern 2024.(根据2024年10月发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究，中国科学家已经破译了水熊虫抗辐射的关键机制，这可能会揭示如何使人类更强地抵抗辐射，以及如何在未来提高人体细胞的耐受力)”可知，中国科学家研究的重要性是其发现可以应用于帮助人类。故选 A。 （十） （2025·云南大理·二模） Regardless of what language we speak or whether we are blind or sighted, new research suggests a shared, universal non-verbal communication system comes to life when we gesture without talking. The study of children aged 3 to 12 years old was led by Șeyda Özçalışkan, a psychological scientist at Georgia State University in Atlanta and a native Turkish speaker who studies language development in different types of learners and different language speakers. One hundred children were asked first to describe an action with words and hand movements and then to describe the same action without speaking using only their hands (what’s known as silent gesture). Half the children were native English speakers, and the other 50 kids spoke Turkish as their first language. English and Turkish make for a good comparison because they differ in terms of how speakers of each language describe events. “If you’re speaking Turkish, if you want to describe someone running into a house, you have to break it down into smaller parts. You say, “he’s running and then he enters the house,” explains Özçalışkan. “But if it’s in English, they’ll just say ‘he ran into the house,’ all in one compact sentence.” When children spoke and gestured at the same time, their gestures followed the conventions of their native language: Turkish-speaking children ordered their gestures the same as they structured a sentence, and English-speaking children integrated theirs into one movement. However, when describing the same scenes without speaking, the sequences of the children’s hand gestures were remarkably similar. Language-specific differences in gestures had seemingly evaporated. Özçalışkan and colleagues also found similar descriptions in earlier work with adults: blind English and Turkish speakers organized their gestures the same as sighted speakers did when they refrained (克制) from speaking. Past studies in German and English-speaking children have also found silent gestures don’t necessarily follow the structure of a person’s native language. However, those studies didn’t directly compare different language speakers as this new one did. Of course, this research involved researchers interpreting abstract gestures from a few hundred — hardly enough data to support such a big claim, but certainly an interesting idea to explore. 37．Why did the researchers choose Turkish to make a comparison? A．Due to its similar sentence patterns. B．Due to its distinct description habits. C．Due to its impact on other languages. D．Due to its different cultural backgrounds. 38．What is the meaning of the underlined word “evaporated”? A．Disappeared. B．Expanded. C．Remained. D．Multiplied. 39．What can be inferred from the passage? A．Non-verbal communication is structured differently in different languages. B．Visual ability influences the structure of non-verbal communication. C．Non-verbal communication has universal similarities when silent. D．The study’s findings are definitive due to the large sample size. 40．What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A．To summarize the research methods adopted. B．To question the reliability of the study’s findings. C．To emphasize the significance of the research. D．To suggest potential areas for future research. 【答案】37．B 38．A 39．C 40．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了新的研究表明，当人们不说话只用手势交流时，会出现一种共享的、普遍的非语言交流系统。 37．推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“English and Turkish make for a good comparison because they differ in terms of how speakers of each language describe events.(英语和土耳其语是一个很好的比较对象，因为这两种语言的使用者在描述事件的方式上存在差异)”可知，研究人员选择土耳其语进行对比是因为它在描述习惯上与英语有明显的不同，这种不同使得比较更加有意义。故选B。 38．词义猜测题。根据文章第五段中的“However, when describing the same scenes without speaking, the sequences of the children’s hand gestures were remarkably similar. Language-specific differences in gestures had seemingly evaporated.(然而，当孩子们在不说话的情况下描述相同的场景时，他们的手势顺序却非常相似。特定语言间的手势差异似乎evaporated。)”可知，孩子们在不说话的情况下描述场景时，他们的手势顺序非常相似，以至于特定语言间的手势差异似乎不再存在，即“消失了”。因此，“evaporated”在此处的意思是“消失了”，与A选项“Disappeared.(消失了)”相符。故选A。 39．推理判断题。根据文章第五段中的“However, when describing the same scenes without speaking, the sequences of the children’s hand gestures were remarkably similar.(然而，当描述相同的场景而不说话时，孩子们手势的顺序却非常相似)”以及最后一段中的“Past studies in German and English-speaking children have also found silent gestures don’t necessarily follow the structure of a person’s native language.(过去对德语和英语国家的儿童的研究也发现，无声的手势并不一定遵循一个人的母语结构)”可以推断出，不说话时非言语交流具有普遍的相似性。故选C。 40．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Of course, this research involved researchers interpreting abstract gestures from a few hundred — hardly enough data to support such a big claim, but certainly an interesting idea to explore.(当然，这项研究涉及研究人员从几百个抽象手势中进行解读——这些数据几乎不足以支持如此大的说法，但无疑是一个值得探索的有趣想法。)”可知，作者提到这项研究的数据并不足以支持其结论，但这是一个值得进一步探索的领域。因此，最后一段的目的是为未来的研究提出潜在领域。故选D。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
