Unit 1 A New Start一轮复习专项训练 2026届高考英语外研版必修第一册

2026高考英语专项训练必修第一册　Unit 1　A new start Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The best science books inspire a sense of wonder and make you amazed at the incredible world we live in.Here are four of them to feed your imagination. A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson How did it all begin? And how did we get here?Combining history and science,the book offers comprehensive yet entertaining answers to these questions. Bill Bryson takes the readers on an impressive journey through the greatest scientific discoveries in history. It explains scientific topics in a vivid way,but it’s quite a long read. Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe How do helicopters work? Or cells? Randall Munroe explains how things work using illustrations and only the most common 1,000 words in English. It will shift your approach to explanation. So,next time explain how something works rather than merely call it by its name.However,additionally providing more technical terms might have enhanced the understanding and learning experience. Ask an Astronaut by Tim Peake What does it feel like to fly into space? How do you prepare for it? Astronaut Tim Peake answers all the questions you never knew about going into space. The book gives insights into the cutting-edge science,as well as the day-to-day life on board of the International Space Station. Its question and answer format makes it easy to quickly find answers,but it can become less appealing due to the lack of descriptive language. Deep Time by Riley Black Want to know the story of our planet? Riley Black takes us on a journey,in the order of time,through the geological (地质的) events that have shaped our planet.The fascinating high-quality images are supported by easily digestible explanations of key historical moments.It also expands on key concepts in geology,astronomy and biology. Yet,measuring the size of some objects on the photos is difficult due to the lack of a scale bar (比例尺). 1.Which book is organized in the format of question and answer? A.A Short History of Nearly Everything. B.Thing Explainer. C.Ask an Astronaut. D.Deep Time. 2.What’s a shortcoming of Thing Explainer? A.It is rather too long. B.It is written in plain language. C.It lacks technical terms. D.It fails to include clear images. 3.What do A Short History of Nearly Everything and Deep Time have in common? A.They combine science and history. B.They feature vivid illustrations. C.They introduce astronauts’ daily life. D.They entertain readers of all ages. B (2025·八省联考) Want to learn a new language or get A’s in college exams?Previous studies have shown that exercise can help stimulate the areas of the brain that convert (转换) new information into long-term memory.A new study has taken this information one step further and found the best time when exercise can help maximize learning. Building upon past research that found exercise releases biochemicals that improve mental function,scientists at Radboud University and the University of Edinburgh conducted a study to determine when exercise was most beneficial to learning. Participants—72 healthy male and female adults—were first asked to perform a computer test that challenged their visual and spatial learning.After the test,all of the subjects watched nature documentaries,but two-thirds of them also exercised.Half of the exercisers did circuit training on an exercise bike for 35 minutes immediately after the test.The other half did the same exercise but not until four hours after they had been tested. Two days later,all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test,and they were connected to MRI (磁共振成像) machines to assess their brain activity.The participants who exercised four hours after taking the computer test were able to recall what they had learned most accurately.Their brainwaves also showed more consistent levels of activity,indicating that their brains were less taxed to remember what they had learned. According to this research,the best time to exercise to improve learning is four hours after studying.But why? That’s one question the researchers have yet to answer.Another question left unanswered is the level of exercise that might best improve learning.I’ve run enough marathons to prove the fact that my brain is anything but sharp during or after a tough workout.But the researchers noted that light workouts might not give the brain enough of a biochemical boost to improve learning. 4.What did the new study aim to explore? A.When exercise is best for learning. B.What biochemicals are good for health. C.How brainwaves should be measured. D.Which area of the brain is the most active. 5.What were all the participants asked to do during the experiment? A.Train on bicycles. B.Do mathematics exercises. C.Play computer games. D.Watch films about nature. 6.Why did the participants return to the lab two days later? A.To do a medical examination. B.To have their memory tested. C.To get their workouts recorded. D.To finish their previous tasks. 7.What might the author’s marathon running prove? A.The findings of the study are reliable. B.Long-distance runners are often smart. C.Studies on the marathon are not enough. D.Hard exercise may not sharpen the brain. C Influenced by factors like school funding,sports facilities,teacher resources and safety concerns,traditional physical education was limited to static (静态的) scenes and closed gyms and playgrounds,which lacked interaction and feedback functions.PE curriculum was also restricted to basic sports like ball games,track and field and gymnastics.However,the emergence and application of new technologies like virtual reality (VR),3D technology,greatly expand and innovate sports scenes,providing possibilities for the construction of a flexible“on-site,on-campus,online”integrated new sports world. IT can build online virtual learning environments for students,creating teaching scenes hard to achieve in physical world. Many schools have already partnered with technology companies to create different teaching scenes using digital sports products.The University of South Florida has cooperated with the VR sports training company Sense Arena,allowing students to practice tennis on its globally pioneering VR tennis training platform. Students use the Meta Quest 2 headset and the VR touching racket (球拍) which imitates the weight and feel of a real tennis racket. The platform features 35 training modes imitating various scenes in real-life tennis matches,including crowd noise,dazzling sunlight,shadows and wind. Athletes can engage in various forms of training,such as skill practice,technical analysis and match imitation. Such virtual sports teaching space further enhances the experience of PE learning. Technology-based physical education not only serves ordinary students’ physical health but also addresses the needs of special groups in sports,especially students who cannot participate in regular PE classes due to physical,psychological or social adaptation issues.Many schools offer specialized sports programs to disabled students,like the “Pathways to Inclusion” program launched by the University of Queensland,which tailors various sports activities to different disabilities such as blind football and wheelchair hockey.This is made possible with the support of sports technology,as different symptoms require the use of different sports equipment. Through scientific,healthy and joyful educational concepts,technology-empowered PE classes convey the values of creating and enjoying a personalized experience,developing a sports education where everyone participates and benefits. 8.How do new technologies change traditional PE classes according to Paragraph 1? A.By investing more in basic sports. B.By combining it with academic study. C.By making dynamic PE classes possible. D.By replacing PE teachers with AI teachers. 9.Which of the following services can Sense Arena provide ? A.Real-life tennis matches. B.Virtual headsets and rackets. C.Imitative distracting conditions. D.Sufficient sports space on campus. 10.What does“Pathways to Inclusion”program feature? A.Professional knowledge about psychology. B.Technology-assisted sports for the disabled. C.Interactive activities with ordinary students. D.Personalized medical treatment for disabilities. 11.What is the author’s writing purpose of the text? A.To advertise a new VR product. B.To raise public awareness of physical education. C.To stress the importance of equality among students. D.To introduce a new application of technology in PE classes. Ⅱ.七选五 Although it’s an age of typing,handwriting still matters.Today the danger of the technology which computers and the typing people are using on writing is becoming extremely enormous.　1　.  As primary school pupils and college students return for a new school year in the North America,many will place a greater-than-ever reliance on computers to take notes and write papers. Children are not just encouraged but required to bring laptops to class,with which some parents are disappointed.　2　,and their professors complain of this serious distraction (分心的事物) in classrooms.  　3　,from recalling a random series of words to better grasping the concept of complicated ideas. In a study from 2014,students typing wrote down almost twice as many words and more passages verbatim (一字不差地) from lectures,suggesting they were not understanding so much as rapidly copying the material.Handwriting,which takes longer for nearly all university level students,forces note-takers to integrate ideas into their own words.　4　. Those taking notes by hand also perform better on tests when they are later able to study from their notes.  Many studies have confirmed handwriting’s benefits,and many countries have taken action. About half American states have mandated (强制执行) more teaching of handwriting since 2010. In Sweden there is a similar campaign. 　5　. England’s national subjects already include teaching basic knowledge of handwriting by age seven.However,several school systems in America have gone so far as to ban most laptops. This is too extreme.  A.And a heated debate is going about it B.They would no longer need to complain C.Writing on paper can improve everything D.But so many are fond of typing in their jobs E.College students message instead of listening to lectures F.This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing G.The government pushes for more handwriting and fewer devices A篇 1.核心单词:Para.1:incredible adj.难以置信的;极好的　Para.2:comprehensive adj.(几乎)无所不包的;详尽的　impressive adj.令人赞叹的;令人敬佩的　Para.3:illustration n.(书、杂志等中的)图表,插图 additionally adv.另外　enhance v.提高;增强;增进　Para.4:insight n.洞悉;了解 descriptive adj.描写的;叙述的;说明的;描写性的　Para.5:fascinating adj.极有吸引力的;迷人的 2.核心词块:Para.1:feed your imagination满足你的想象力 3.词缀变形:Para.2:science n.科学→scientific adj.科学(上)的;关于科学的　Para.3:explain v.解释;说明;阐明→explanation n.解释;说明;阐述　Para.5:digestible adj.易理解的;可领会的;易消化的;口感好的→digest v.领会;领悟;理解 C篇 1.核心单词:Para.1:virtual adj.虚拟的　Para.2:pioneering adj.开拓性的,先驱的　dazzling adj.刺眼的;令人印象深刻的,特别吸引人的　enhance v.提高;增强　Para.3:issue n.问题　symptom n.症状 Para.4:personalized adj.为某人特制的　第8题C选项:dynamic adj.动态的,发展变化的 2.熟词生义:address (Para.3)常用义:n.地址　文章义:v.处理,解决　例句:Your essay does not address the real issues.你的论文没有论证实质问题。 3.词缀变形:Para.1:interaction n.互动→interact v.交流→interactive adj.合作的,相互影响的　emergence n.出现,显现→emerge v.浮现,出现　flexible adj.灵活的;柔韧的→flexibility n.灵活性;弹性 Para.2:cooperate v.合作→cooperative adj.合作的→cooperation n.合作　imitate v.模仿→imitation n.模仿　Para.3:adaptation n.适应;改编本→adapt v.适应;改编→adaptable adj.能适应的 七选五 1.核心单词:Para.1:enormous adj.巨大的,极大的　Para.2:reliance n.依靠,依赖,信任 Para.3:grasp v.理解,领会　integrate v.(使)合并　Para.4:confirm v.证实　campaign n.运动 2.熟词生义:message(选项E)　常用义:n.电邮(或手机)信息　文章义:v.(给……)发短信(消息) 例句:Brian messaged me the news.布莱恩用短信告诉了我这个消息。 3.词缀变形:Para.3:concept n.概念,观念→conceptual adj.概念(上)的,观念(上)的 必修第一册　Unit 1参考答案 Ⅰ.【语篇解读】　本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了满足你想象力的四本图书。 1.C　[细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词“in the format of question and answer”可知,答案应定位在Ask an Astronaut by Tim Peake部分,根据该部分中的“Its question and answer format makes it easy to quickly find answers”(它的问答格式使快速找到答案变得容易)可知选C。] 2.C　[细节理解题。根据Thing Explainer by Randall Munroe部分中的最后一句“However,additionally providing more technical terms...learning experience.”(但是,此外提供更多技术术语原本可能会增强理解和学习体验。)可知,这本书缺乏技术术语,故选C。] 3.A　[推理判断题。结合A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson部分中的“Combining history and science”,Deep Time by Riley Black部分中的“The fascinating high-quality images...astronomy and biology”(极有吸引力的高质量图像得到了对关键历史时刻的易于理解的解释的支持。它还扩展了地质学、天文学和生物学的关键概念)可知,这两本书都把科学和历史结合了起来,故选A。] 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究,探索了运动与学习之间的关系,特别是运动对记忆力的影响以及何时运动可以最大化地帮助学习。 4.A　[细节理解题。由第一段中的“A new study has taken...help maximize learning.”可知,这项新研究的目的是探索运动对学习最有益的时间点。故选A项。] 5.D　[细节理解题。由第三段中的“all of the subjects watched nature documentaries”可知,在实验中,所有参与者都观看了关于自然的纪录片。故选D项。] 6.B　[细节理解题。由第四段中的“Two days later, all of the participants returned to the lab for a recall test”可知,两天后,参与者回到实验室是为了测试他们的记忆力。故选B项。] 7.D　[推理判断题。由最后一段中的“I’ve run enough...after a tough workout.”可推测,作者用自己的经验表明剧烈运动可能不会让大脑变得更敏锐。故选D项。] 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一种新科技(VR)的应用解决了传统的体育课存在的问题,改变了学校体育课的上课模式,而且残障学生也能从中获益。 8.C　[推理判断题。根据第一段中的“the emergence and application of new technologies...providing possibilities for the construction of a flexible...new spots world”可知,VR的出现拓展和创新了体育场景,提供了一种动态体育课模式。C选项和原文中的“providing possibilities for the construction of a flexible...new sports world”是同义转换。故选C项。] 9.C　[推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The platform features 35 training modes...shadows and wind.”可知,这个平台提供了35种训练模式,模拟了现实网球比赛中各种各样的场景,包括人群中的噪声、刺眼的太阳光、树荫和风等。C项“仿真的干扰条件”符合语境。故选C项。] 易错点拨:本题易错选B项。根据第二段中的“Students use the Meta Quest 2 headset and the VR touching racket”可知,学生使用的是头显和虚拟的球拍,即头显是实体,球拍是虚拟的。故排除B项“虚拟的头显和球拍”。 10.B　[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“which tailors various sports activities to different...as different symptoms require the use of different sports equipment”可知,这个项目为不同的残疾人定制了不同的运动项目。由于残疾人需要的运动设备是不一样的,而这个新科技解决了这个问题。故选B项。] 11.D　[写作意图题。全文主要介绍了新科技(VR)的出现改变了传统的体育课模式,所有的学生都从中获益,包括残疾人。其写作目的是介绍一种体育课上新科技的应用。] Ⅱ.【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就用计算机打字的危害及许多国家的政府为应对这一情况所采取的措施进行了说明。 1.A　[空前讲电脑打字的危害巨大;第二段讲很多学校要求带电脑上课做笔记;第三段讲课堂上电脑打字的危害;第四段讲各国政府为避免这种情况采取的措施。观点看法存在矛盾。由此可推知,此空应引出下文的主题“人们对此激烈讨论”。故选A项。] 2.E　[空后讲教授对课堂上学生分心的抱怨,故此空应讲其原因。E项“大学生在发信息而不是在听讲座”符合逻辑。] 3.C　[空后提到“从回忆一组随机的单词到更好地理解掌握复杂概念”,再根据下文中对打字和手写的对比描述可知,本段介绍的是手写的好处。故C项“在纸上书写能够改善一切事情”符合语境。] 4.F　[空前讲手写记笔记虽耗时,但能迫使做笔记的人融入自己的话;空后讲手写记笔记的人考试时成绩更优秀。故此空应讲“融入自己的话”带来的帮助和“成绩更优秀”的原因。F项“手写时有助于概念的理解”符合逻辑。] 5.G　[空前讲美国一半的州强制要求手写,瑞典政府也发起了类似的运动;空后讲英国政府也开启了手写项目。故此空仍应涉及政府层面对手写的要求。G项“该政府鼓励多手写,少用电子设备”符合逻辑。另外,G项中的The government指的是空前句子中的Sweden。故选G项。] 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
