(2024·全国甲卷)The Saint Lukas train doesn't accept passengers—it accepts only the sick. The Saint Lukas is one of five governmentsponsored medical trains that travel to remote towns in central and eastern Russia. Each stop lasts an average of two days, and during that time the doctors and nurses on board provide rural (乡村) populations with basic medical care, Xray scans and prescriptions.
“People started queuing to make an appointment early in the morning,” says Emile Ducke, a German photographer who traveled with the staff of the Saint Lukas for a twoweek trip in November through the vast regions (区域) of Krasnoyarsk and Khakassia.
9
Russia's public health care service has been in serious need of modernization. The government has struggled to come up with measures to address the problem, particularly in the poorer, rural areas east of the Volga River, including arranging doctor's appointments by video chat and expanding financial aid programs to motivate doctors to practice medicine in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk.
The annual arrival of the Saint Lukas is another attempt to improve the situation. For 10 months every year, the train stops at about eight stations over two weeks, before returning to the regional capital to refuel and restock (补给). Then it starts all over again the next month. Most stations wait about a year between visits.
10
Doctors see up to 150 patients every day. The train's equipment allows for basic checkups. “I was very impressed by the doctors and their assistants working and living in such little space but still staying focused and very concerned,” says Ducke. “They were the best chance for many rural people to get the treatment they want.”
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Saint Lukas列车为俄罗斯一些偏远地区提供医疗服务。
11
4.How is the Saint Lukas different from other trains?
A.It runs across countries.
B.It reserves seats for the seniors.
C.It functions as a hospital.
D.It travels along a river.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Saint Lukas is one of five governmentsponsored medical trains”和“the doctors and nurses ... Xray scans and prescriptions”可知,Saint Lukas列车是政府资助的医疗列车,列车上有医生和护士为乡村人口提供基本的医疗等,C项(它的作用相当于一个医院。)符合题意。故选C。
5.What can we infer from paragraph 3 about Krasnoyarsk?
A.It is heavily populated.
B.It offers training for doctors.
C.It is a modern city.
D.It needs medical aid.
解析:推理判断题。第三段首句提到俄罗斯的公共医疗服务急需现代化。再结合第三段中的“address the problem ... in remote parts of the country like Krasnoyarsk”可推知,Krasnoyarsk (克拉斯诺亚尔斯克)是俄罗斯一个贫穷的、医疗条件差的偏远乡村,D项(它需要医疗援助。)符合题意。故选D。
6.How long can the Saint Lukas work with one supply?
A.About a year. B.About ten months.
C.About two months. D.About two weeks.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“For 10 months every year ... to refuel and restock (补给).”可知,该列车每年有十个月都会进行这样的工作:在大约八个站点停留两周多,然后返回地区首府补充燃料和补给。因此,该列车一次补给可以工作两周左右。故选D。
7.What is Ducke's attitude toward the Saint Lukas' services?
A.Appreciative. B.Doubtful.
C.Ambiguous. D.Cautious.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I was very impressed ... staying focused and very concerned”和“They were the best chance ... treatment they want.”可知,Ducke (杜克)对Saint Lukas列车服务的态度是赞赏的。故选A。
(2025·浙江高考1月)As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there's been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
16
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a selfdriving car known as “Miuu”. It was found that gender increased users' feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
17
Martin's study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object's name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it—they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she”.
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes”. When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotypeinconsistent roles—a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
18
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了在新技术中去除性别特征的趋势及其影响,分析了性别化产品对消费者情感连接和购买意愿的影响,以及去除性别特征所面临的挑战和潜在好处。
19
8.What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A.To reduce stereotypes.
B.To meet public demand.
C.To cut production costs.
D.To encourage competition.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) ... a simple way to fix this.”可知,科技产品去性别化的目的是减少刻板印象。故
选A。
9.What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A.Design a product.
B.Respond to a survey.
C.Work as assistants.
D.Take a language test.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In her study ... known as ‘Miuu’.”可知,参与者被要求对男、女和无性别的数字语音助手和自动驾驶汽车进行评价。由此可推知,参与者可能被要求回复一项调查。故选B。
10.Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A.They cannot be massproduced.
B.Naming them is a challenging task.
C.People assume they are unreliable.
D.Gender is rooted in people's mind.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知,即使物品的名字听起来无性别区别,参与者仍会为其赋予性别。由此可推知,创建无性别物品比较困难是因为性别观念在人们的思维中已根深蒂固。故选D。
11.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The quality of genderless products.
B.The upside of gendering a product.
C.The meaning of anthropomorphism.
D.The stereotypes of men and women.
解析:段落大意题。根据最后一段内容可知,本段主要强调性别化设计的潜在积极意义。故选B。
(2024·新课标Ⅰ卷)In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct, researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records. Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.
24
“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens (标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?”
Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.
25
“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias (使有偏差) data, like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,” said Daru.
Their study revealed that the large number of observationonly records did not lead to better global coverage. Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eyecatching features.
26
What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?
“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places—and even species—that are not wellsampled. To improve the quality of observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image.”
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章探究了生物样本数据的可用性,指出了实证研究发现的问题并提出了提高数据质量的措施。
27
12.What do we know about the records of species collected now?
A.They are becoming outdated.
B.They are mostly in electronic form.
C.They are limited in number.
D.They are used for public exhibition.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Today, most records ... other digital records.”可知,现在,大多数生物多样性的记录通常以照片、视频和其他的数字记录形式存在,即它们大多是电子形式的。故选B。
13.What does Daru's study focus on?
A.Threatened species.
B.Physical specimens.
C.Observational data.
D.Mobile applications.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“we are increasingly ... to global change”可知,Daru (达鲁)及其团队使用观察数据来研究物种是如何对全球变化作出回应的,由此可知,Daru的研究关注观察数据。故选C。
14.What has led to the biases according to the study?
A.Mistakes in data analysis.
B.Poor quality of uploaded pictures.
C.Improper way of sampling.
D.Unreliable data collection devices.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We were particularly interested ... instead of the grass right next to it”可知,研究人员对探索可能导致数据偏差的采样的方面特别感兴趣,比如公民科学家很有可能只拍开花植物而不拍它旁边的青草。由此可推知,采样方式的不当会导致数据偏差。故选C。
15.What is Daru's suggestion for biodiversity apps?
A.Review data from certain areas.
B.Hire experts to check the records.
C.Confirm the identity of the users.
D.Give guidance to citizen scientists.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,生物多样性应用程序可以引导采样人员关注采样不足的地方或者物种,鼓励他们让专家确认上传样本图片中的物种名称。由此可推知,Daru建议生物多样性程序给公民科学家提供指导。故选D。

Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person
Here's a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There's one answer. __1__.
In the Digital Age, we're used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we'd be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
•Practice gratitude (感激)
32
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic. __2__. “Showing thankfulness can foster selfcontrol,” said Ye Li, researcher at the University of California.
•Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. __3__. Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake. You'll soon find that the more patience you practice, the more you start to apply it to other more annoying situations.
33
•__4__
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “__5__.” You'll then gradually become more patient.
A.Find your causes
B.Start with small tasks
C.Accept the uncomfortable
D.All this adds up to a state of hurry
34
E.It can also help us practice more patience
F.This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable
G.They're all situations where we could use a little extra patience

2.答案:E
解析:根据下文“Put off ... for that cake.”并结合小标题“Make yourself wait”可知,下文列举的事情都是日常的小事,说明要从小事开始练习等待。B项(从小任务开始)引出下文。故选B。
3.答案:B
解析:本段提到了舒适是我们通常唯一能容忍的状态,说明我们还应该容忍不舒适,因此本段的主旨与接受不舒适相关,C项(接受不舒服)概括本段内容,且选项中的uncomfortable对应下文comfortable。故选C。
4.答案:C
解析:根据上文“You should learn to say to yourself (你应该学会对自己说)”以及下文“You'll then gradually become more patient. (然后你会逐渐变得更有耐心。)”可知,F项(这仅仅是不舒服,而不是无法忍受)承上启下。故选F。
