专题03 阅读理解 议论文 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上·辽宁大连·期中） Chen Yuxuan, a female student from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, scored 602 on this year’s college entrance exam but chose to attend Zhejiang Polytechnic University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, a vocational (职业的) college. Her decision has sparked widespread discussion. In a society that places high value on academic degrees, many people don’t understand her choice. They view attending a vocational college with such a high score as a “waste”. However, I support her decision and believe her choice is not only rational but also reflects careful career planning. Employment is a reality every graduate must face. Chen chose a vocational school due to its high employment outcomes and partnerships with large companies like China Railway. In today’s tough job market, choosing a vocational college with 602 points isn’t shameful-on the contrary, it’s practical. Vocational students often excel in hands-on skills, making them more competitive in technical fields. Chen’s major, railway transportation equipment and control, offers great job prospects, indicating her choice was well thought-out. Chen’s decision challenges societal prejudices while also reflecting the rapid growth of vocational education. Take the above college as an example: its popular majors in the rail transportation, electrical and mechanical fields had a minimum admission score of 573. It’s remarkable that competitive programs, once only seen at regular universities, are now available at vocational schools as well. Of course, while Chen’s decision stands out, it’s far from a widespread trend. It’s worth noting that this year’s gaokao saw some surprising shifts with high-scoring humanities students also opting (选择) for vocational schools, which has led to more complicated public reactions. Life choices tied to gaokao applications are always complex and subject to change-what was a hot major a few years ago may now be less appealing. In times of change, it’s crucial to calmly assess (评估) your abilities and values to determine the best path forward. 1．What does the underlined word “rational” in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A．awkward B．sensible C．delicate D．critical 2．Why did Chen choose Zhejiang Polytechnic University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering? A．For its location. B．For its job prospects. C．For its reputation. D．For its unique programs. 3．Which statement is true about vocational education in this article? A．It has gained greater social recognition. B．It remains undervalued by most employers. C．It is now equal in quality to regular higher education. D．It is the first choice for low-scoring students. 4．What does the author recommend when choosing an educational path? A．Following societal expectations. B．Prioritizing future job opportunities. C．Selecting majors with less competition. D．Considering personal strengths and interests. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕陈雨萱高考高分选择职业学院这一事件，展开了关于社会对职业学院看法的讨论，并表达了对这一选择的支持和理解。 1．词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“However, I support her decision(然而，我支持她的决定)”以及下文“reflects careful career planning.(反映了她对职业生涯的深思熟虑的规划)”可推测，作者支持她的选择，并且认为这反映了她对职业生涯的深思熟虑的规划。由此可推测，划线词的意思应该是与“明智的”或“理性的”之意。选项B“sensible(理智的)”与此相符。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Chen chose a vocational school due to its high employment outcomes and partnerships with large companies like China Railway. In today’s tough job market, choosing a vocational college with 602 points isn’t shameful-on the contrary, it’s practical. Vocational students often excel in hands-on skills, making them more competitive in technical fields. Chen’s major, railway transportation equipment and control, offers great job prospects, indicating her choice was well thought-out.(陈雨萱选择职业学院是因为它拥有高的就业率，并且与中国铁路等大型公司有合作关系。在当今严峻的就业市场中，以602分的高分选择职业学院并不可耻——相反，这是非常务实的。职业学院的学生往往在实践技能方面表现出色，这使得他们在技术领域更具竞争力。陈雨萱所学的专业是铁路交通运输设备与控制，这个专业有着良好的就业前景，这表明她的选择是经过深思熟虑的。)”可知，陈雨萱选择浙江机电职业技术学院是因为它的就业前景。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Chen’s decision challenges societal prejudices while also reflecting the rapid growth of vocational education. Take the above college as an example: its popular majors in the rail transportation, electrical and mechanical fields had a minimum admission score of 573. It’s remarkable that competitive programs, once only seen at regular universities, are now available at vocational schools as well.(陈的决定挑战了社会的偏见，同时也反映了职业教育的快速发展。以上述学院为例：其铁路运输、电气和机械领域的热门专业的最低录取分数线为573分。值得注意的是，过去只能在普通大学看到的竞争激烈的课程，现在也在职业学校中提供了。)”可知，职业教育已经获得了更大的社会认可，越来越多的高分学生开始选择职业教育，而且一些竞争激烈的课程也开始在职业学校中提供。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Life choices tied to gaokao applications are always complex and subject to change-what was a hot major a few years ago may now be less appealing. In times of change, it’s crucial to calmly assess (评估) your abilities and values to determine the best path forward.(与高考申请相关的人生选择总是复杂多变的，几年前热门的专业现在可能就不那么吸引人了。在变化的时代，冷静地评估自己的能力和价值观，以确定前进的最佳道路，是至关重要的。)”可知，作者在选择教育道路方面的建议是考虑个人优势和兴趣。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·辽宁阜新·期中） Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries. Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not. Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.” 5．What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club? A．They’re unfair. B．They’re conservative. C．They’re objective. D．They’re strict. 6．What can we infer about girls from the study in Science? A．They think themselves smart. B．They look up to great thinkers. C．They see gender differences earlier than boys. D．They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs 7．Why are more geniuses known to the public? A．Improved global communication. B．Less discrimination against women. C．Acceptance of victors’ concepts. D．Changes in people’s social positions. 8．What is the best title for the text? A．Geniuses Think Alike B．Genius Takes Many Forms C．Genius and Intelligence D．Genius and Luck 【答案】5．A 6．D 7．A 8．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章由问题“谁是天才?”引入，论述了世人对天才的狭隘定义，提出事实上“天才”有很多种形式，不要让思维限制了我们的“天才”能力。 5．推理判断题。根据第三段的“It is said that history is written by victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women, or people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.(据说历史是由胜利者书写的，而那些胜利者为进入天才俱乐部设定了标准。当俱乐部以外的天才——女性或不同肤色或信仰的人——做出贡献时，他们不会被承认并且被其他人拒绝。)”可知，作者认为那些“胜利者”对进“天才俱乐部”设置的标准是不公平的，因为女性或者不同肤色或信仰的人做出的成就是得不到承认的。故选A。 6．推理判断题。根据第四段的“Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief. Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.(更糟糕的是，研究发现女孩们是按照这个信念行事的。六岁左右，她们开始避免那些据说是“非常非常聪明”的孩子参加的活动。)”可推知，女孩容易受到社会信仰的影响，认为自己不适合做“聪明孩子”做的事情。故选D。 7．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear.(在一个拥有持续的全球交流的联网的世界里，我们随时随地都能看到天才的出现。)”可知，进步的全球通讯让更多的天才被公众所知道。故选A。 8．主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，结合文章第一段提出问题“Who is a genius?(谁是天才)”和最后一段的“And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance, and simple geniuses, who are able to change the world.(我们看得越多，就越会发现，像性别、种族和阶级这样的社会因素并不能决定天才的外表。正如一位作家所说，未来的天才来自那些具有“智慧、创造力、毅力和那些能够改变世界的简单天才。)”可知，天才不一定是那些有巨大贡献的人，他们也可以是某一方面比较突出的普通人。由此可知B项“天才有多种形式”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B。 Passage 3 （24-25高二上·黑龙江·期中） ChatGPT, a new chatbot model developed by US-based AI research laboratory OpenAI, has quickly become a hit globally due to its advanced conversational capabilities, It can write emails, computer codes, even academic papers and poems, and has passed a number of tests within seconds. Academicians worldwide are discussing whether AI should be used in education. Some universities have banned it. The New York City’s Department of Education, for example, banned the chatbot from its public school devices and networks, with some people warning that it could encourage more students to cheat, especially in exams. Many more welcome this app, claiming that, like most technological advances and groundbreaking innovations in history, ChatGPT is a powerful tool for the development of higher education. Embracing AI as early as possible is advisable. Higher education institutions should make preparations for including AI in their syllabus (教学大纲). They can start by offering related courses, because by understanding how it works, they can make better use of it. Besides, students with good knowledge of AI are more competitive when it comes to getting a good job, as an increasing number of jobs are being done by computer programmes-some in cooperation with humans, AI-powered education technologies can be adopted to make the learning experience more suitable for each student based on his or her strengths and weaknesses. As for professors, AI can free them from doing some dull tasks so they can concentrate on teaching and interacting with students. Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AI-powered applications from entering the field of higher education, we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on society and the future of education Despite AI helping make learning much more interesting and enjoyable, humans need to work very hard to win the race with technology. 9．Why do some higher education institutions forbid ChatGPT?

D．Students might seek help from it in completing the exams. 10．What is the author’s attitude towards AI applications in education? A．Fearful. B．Disapproving. C．Supportive. D．Uncertain. 11．How can AI benefit students of higher education? A．It offers students an increasing number of jobs. B．It personalizes students’ learning experience. C．It equips students with competitive skills to cooperate with humans. D．It handles uninteresting tasks so students can better focus on learning. 12．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．We should guard against AI apps. B．AI will be more widely used in education. C．The future of education relies on AI apps. D．Humans will be left behind by technology. 【答案】9．D 10．C 11．B 12．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍的是人们就ChatGPT是否应该应用于教育之中进行讨论，作者认为人类应该与时俱进，确保人工智能发挥积极作用。 9．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The New York City’s Department of Education, for example, banned the chatbot from its public school devices and networks, with some people warning that it could encourage more students to cheat, especially in exams.(例如，纽约市教育部禁止该聊天机器人进入其公立学校的设备和网络，一些人警告说，这可能会鼓励更多学生作弊，尤其是在考试中)”可知，该一些高等教育机构禁止ChatGPT，因为学生可能会在考试中寻求帮助。故选D项。 10．推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Embracing AI as early as possible is advisable.(建议尽早拥抱人工智能)”和最后一段中的“Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AI-powered applications from entering the field of higher education, we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on society and the future of education.(既然我们无法避免ChatGPT和其他人工智能应用进入高等教育领域，我们应该共同努力，确保它们对社会和教育的未来产生积极影响)”可推知，作者支持人工智能在高校教育中的运用。故选C项。 12．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“AI-powered education technologies can be adopted to make the learning experience more suitable for each student based on his or her strengths and weaknesses.(可以采用人工智能教育技术，根据每个学生的优势和劣势，使学习体验更适合每个学生)”可知，人工智能能够根据学生个人情况定制学习体验。故选B项。 13．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AI-powered applications from entering the field of higher education, we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on society and the future of education. Despite AI helping make learning much more interesting and enjoyable, humans need to work very hard to win the race with technology.(既然我们无法避免ChatGPT和其他人工智能应用进入高等教育领域，我们应该共同努力，确保它们对社会和教育的未来产生积极影响。尽管人工智能有助于使学习变得更有趣、更愉快，但人类需要非常努力地工作才能赢得与技术的竞争)”可推知，我们不能避免人工智能进入高校教育，要与时俱进，确保人工智能发挥积极作用。故选B项。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·内蒙古·期中） Hollywood may have warned about the risks of striking up relationships with artificial intelligence, but one computer scientist says we may be missing a trick if we do not embrace the positives that human-machine relationships have to offer. Tony Prescott, professor of cognitive robotics at the University of Sheffield, argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness. Just as we develop meaningful bonds with pets, and have no reservations about children playing with dolls, so should we be open to the value of AI to adults, he says. “Human loneliness is often characterised by a down ward spiral (螺旋线) in which isolation leads to lower self-esteem (自尊), which discourages further interaction with people,” Prescott writes in a new book. The Psychology of Artificial Intelligence. “There may be ways in which AI companionship could help break this cycle by boosting feelings of self-worth and helping maintain or improve social skills. If so, relationships with AIs could support people to find companionship with human and artificial others.” With more than a third of Americans reporting “serious loneliness,” the loneliness problem has become evident in recent years. Whether AI can, or should, be part of the solution is not a new debate. Sherry Turkle, professor of social science at MIT, has warned that forming relationships with machines could backfire, and lead people to have fewer secure and fulfilling human relationships. Murali Doraiswamy, professor of medicine at Duke University, said: “Right now, all the evidence points to having a close human friend as the best solution for loneliness. But until society prioritizes social connectedness, robots are a solution for the millions of people who have no friends.” Researchers may soon know whether people turn to AI for company. Tech firms are building chatbots to be ever more fluent and responsive to emotions. This week, it emerged that OpenAI asked Scarlett Johansson to be the voice of their latest chatbot, GPT-4o, to “help consumers to feel comfortable”. Johansson declined, but the chatbot was released with a voice that friends and family thought was hers. OpenAI has since suspended (中止) the voice option “out of respect for Ms Johansson”. 1．What do the pets and dolls mentioned in Paragraph 2 help illustrate? A．The limitations of human-AI relationships in daily life. B．The potential for AI to provide similar companionship. C．The possibility for AI to replace traditional companions. D．The overestimation of AI’s role in ending human loneliness. 2．What do the underlined words “this cycle” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The repeated use of AI and others for companionship. B．The consistent failure of human relationships with AI. C．The process of developing human self-worth and social skills. D．The pattern of isolation, lower self-esteem and further isolation. 3．Who expresses concern that AI companionship could weaken human connections? A．Tony Prescott. B．Sherry Turkle. C．Murali Doraiswamy. D．Scarlett Johansson. 4．Which central question does the text mainly explore? A．Could AI contribute to increased loneliness? B．Will AI companionship replace human interaction? C．Can AI be used as an effective solution for loneliness? D．Is AI companionship preferable to traditional relationships? 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了人工智能伴侣是否能成为解决人类孤独感的有效方案，以及这一观点引发的不同看法。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“Tony Prescott, professor of cognitive robotics at the University of Sheffield, argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness. Just as we develop meaningful bonds with pets, and have no reservations about children playing with dolls, so should we be open to the value of AI to adults, he says.(University of Sheffield认知机器人教授Tony Prescott认为，人工智能在防止人类孤独感方面发挥着重要作用。他说，就像我们与宠物建立起有意义的纽带，对孩子玩洋娃娃毫无保留一样，我们也应该对人工智能对成年人的价值持开放态度。)”可知，第二段中提到的宠物和娃娃有助于说明人工智能提供类似陪伴的潜力。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“Human loneliness is often characterised by a down ward spiral (螺旋线) in which isolation leads to lower self- esteem (自尊), which discourages further interaction with people(人类孤独的特征通常是螺旋式下降，在这种情况下，孤立会导致自尊降低，从而阻碍与他人的进一步互动)”可知，孤独感会导致一个向下的螺旋，即孤立导致自尊降低，进而阻碍与他人的进一步互动，因此this cycle指的是孤立，低自尊和进一步孤立的这种模式，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Sherry Turkle, professor of social science at MIT, has warned that forming relationships with machines could backfire, and lead people to have fewer secure and fulfilling human relationships.(麻省理工学院（MIT）社会科学教授Sherry Turkle警告说，与机器建立关系可能会适得其反，导致人们的人际关系更缺少安全感和令人满意度。)”可知，Sherry Turkle表达了对AI陪伴可能降低人类关系质量的担忧。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“Tony Prescott, professor of cognitive robotics at the University of Sheffield, argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness.(University of Sheffield认知机器人教授Tony Prescott认为，人工智能在防止人类孤独感方面发挥着重要作用。)”和第四段“Whether AI can, or should, be part of the solution is not a new debate.  Sherry Turkle, professor of social science at MIT, has warned that forming relationships with machines could backfire, and lead people to have fewer secure and fulfilling human relationships.(人工智能是否可以或应该成为解决方案的一部分，并不是一个新的争论。麻省理工学院（MIT）社会科学教授Sherry Turkle警告说，与机器建立关系可能会适得其反，导致人们的人际关系更少安全和令人满意。)”可知，本文主要探讨了人工智能伴侣是否能成为解决人类孤独感的有效方案，以及这一观点引发的不同看法，因此这篇文章主要探讨的是人工智能能否有效解决孤独感。故选C。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·黑龙江·期中） Paws walk across my keyboard, and my cat Monty lies on my lap, unaware of the world beyond our garden fence. In these uncertain times of the pandemic, the company of animals is needed more than ever. To the joy of our cats, dogs and all pets in between, staying at home is an opportunity to give them our undivided attention. In return, they provide us with a much-needed source of happiness. Pet ownership is well known to help settle anxiety, reduce loneliness and lift moods. Even as we spend an unprecedented（空前的）amount of time in isolation（隔离）, pets are still acting as channels to building a sense of community as people share pictures of their beloved companions online in an effort to raise spirits. It is in such times that we realize just how much our pets matter as part of the family. As a long-term cat lady, I have never questioned that a pet is a precious member of the household. Our pets can be as valuable as our human family members in teaching us about ourselves and how to approach the world. In short, our animals' love and loyalty are unique. As such, the death of a pet can feel as sad as that of a close friend or family member. The grief（悲痛）remains something that is often seen as shameful, and many admit to demanding time off work without being honest about why. However, with the loss of a pet comes an emptiness where their unconditional love once was, and moments in the day once dedicated to their care become suddenly unoccupied. Vet and author James Herriot wrote, "If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty and thankfulness, animals are better off than a lot of humans." Pets are an additional member of the family, and now more than ever, they can serve as models for the kind of basic humanity we ought to be extending to an unstable world. 5．What is the main idea of paragraphs 1 and 2? A．How to play with pets. B．How keeping a pet benefits humans. C．How the author started to keep a pet. D．How pets keep people away during isolation. 6．What does the author think pets mean to humans? A．They are as precious as our family members. B．They are only secondary to family members. C．They are more like teachers than friends. D．They help us take care of our family. 7．Why do people lie when requesting time off after the death of a pet? A．They feel puzzled about its death. B．They consider it a private family thing. C．They are annoyed by the feeling of emptiness. D．They feel embarrassed about their sadness over it. 8．What does James Herriot imply in the last paragraph? A．Pets can teach us to be better humans. B．Pets need more attention now than ever. C．Pets and humans have little in common. D．Pets can act as a tool to calm the world. 【答案】5．B 6．A 7．D 8．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲的是养宠物的好处和宠物对人的重要性。 5．主旨大意题。根据第一段的“In these uncertain times of the pandemic, the company of animals is needed more than ever...In return, they provide us with a much-needed source of happiness.（在大流行的不确定时期，人们比以往任何时候都更需要动物的陪伴……作为回报，他们为我们提供了急需的幸福源泉。）”及第二段的“Pet ownership is well known to help settle anxiety, reduce loneliness and lift moods. Even as we spend an unprecedented（空前的）amount of time in isolation（隔离）, pets are still acting as channels to building a sense of community as people share pictures of their beloved companions online in an effort to raise spirits.（众所周知，养宠物有助于缓解焦虑、减少孤独和改善情绪。尽管我们花了前所未有的时间与外界隔绝，但宠物仍然是建立社区意识的渠道，人们会在网上分享他们心爱的伴侣的照片，以提振精神。）”可知，第一段和第二段主要讲的是养宠物对人类的好处，即How keeping a pet benefits humans，故选B。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段的“As a long-term cat lady, I have never questioned that a pet is a precious member of the household.（作为一个长期养猫的女人，我从未质疑过宠物是家庭中珍贵的一员。）”可知，作者认为宠物就像我们的家庭成员一样珍贵。故选A。 7．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“The grief remains something that is often seen as shameful, and many admit to demanding time off work without being honest about why.（这种悲伤常常被视为是可耻的，许多人承认自己要求请假，但没有诚实地说明原因。）”可推断出，人们在宠物死亡后要求休假时会撒谎是因为他们对自己的悲伤感到尴尬。故选D。 8．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty and thankfulness, animals are better off than a lot of humans...they can serve as models for the kind of basic humanity we ought to be extending to an unstable world（如果拥有灵魂意味着能够感受到爱、忠诚和感恩，那么动物比很多人都要好……他们可以作为我们应该向一个不稳定的世界延伸的基本人性的典范）”可推断出，James Herriot在最后一段中暗示了宠物可以教会我们成为更好的人。故选A。 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·辽宁·期中） Each April Thais celebrate their “Thai New Year” with a great water fight on the streets. People throw water at everyone passing by and even block the road so they can enter buses and “paint the faces” of all the passengers. But there are a few people who don’t wish to participate in the fun. When I first experienced this celebration, I was one of them. The first time our bus was stopped, 4 people coming into the bus intended to paint everyone’s face. I slowly shook my head to say “No, thank you.”, but a man came from behind me and quickly painted my face. Then the other three felt inspired and added a little more “paint” to my face. I didn’t actively stop them for fear that if I did, they would become more aggressive (好斗的) and throw even more water at me and possibly my backpack, which would damage whatever was inside. Even though it happened only once, emotionally it was very frightening because I felt so powerless. The experience caused me to think a lot about respect and moral autonomy or individual judgment vs “permission” from the authorities. On this day, people of Thailand, including the police, give “permission” for these activities. So what about respect for the individual? If someone does not want to be painted, is it OK to do it anyhow because the majority is having a good time and sincerely believes it is harmless fun, or because the police allow it? In my opinion, if someone does not want to have something done to them, then you’re supposed to respect their decision. You can’t rely on the authorities or some group to tell you if something is right or wrong or if you should or shouldn’t do something. I believe this is a much healthier way of living with one another in this world. 1．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By raising a question. B．By making an assumption. C．By providing a comparison. D．By supporting a celebration. 2．Why did the author inactively resist being painted? A．He was afraid of causing conflict. B．He wanted to protect things in his backpack. C．The activity got official permission. D．The majority were in favor of the behavior. 3．What did the author think of the experience? A．It was unpleasant. B．It was invaluable. C．It was informative. D．It was acceptable. 4．What is mainly conveyed in the last paragraph? A．Do as you would be done by. B．Fear always springs from ignorance. C．When in Rome do as the Romans do. D．Respect matters in interpersonal communication. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。每年四月，泰国人都会在街头举行大规模的“水仗”来庆祝他们的“泰国新年”，人们向每个路过的人泼水，甚至封锁道路，以进入公交车给所有乘客“涂脸”。但也有少数人不愿参与其中，作者就是其中之一。作者认为在人际交往中，应该尊重其他人的决定。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“People throw water at everyone passing by and even block the road so they can enter buses and “paint the faces” of all the passengers. But there are a few people who don’t wish to participate in the fun. (人们向每个路过的人泼水，甚至封锁道路，这样他们就可以进入公交车给所有乘客“涂脸”。但也有一些人不想参与其中)”可知，作者通过提供比较的方法引入文章主题。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“I didn’t actively stop them for fear that if I did, they would become more aggressive and throw even more water at me and possibly my backpack, which would damage whatever was inside. (我没有积极地阻止他们，因为我担心如果我这样做了，他们会变得更具攻击性，向我泼更多的水，可能还会泼我的背包，这会损坏里面的东西)”可知，作者没有积极反抗是为了保护自己背包里的东西。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Even though it happened only once, emotionally it was very frightening because I felt so powerless. (尽管这种情况只发生过一次，但从情感上来说，这非常可怕，因为我感到无能为力)”可推知，作者认为这次经历是不愉快的。故选A项。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In my opinion, if someone does not want to have something done to them, then you’re supposed to respect their decision. You can’t rely on the authorities or some group to tell you if something is right or wrong or if you should or shouldn’t do something. I believe this is a much healthier way of living with one another in this world. (在我看来，如果有人不想对他们做什么，那么你应该尊重他们的决定。你不能依赖官方或某个团体来告诉你某件事是对是错，或者你应该做什么或不应该做什么。我相信在这个世界上，这是一种更健康的生活方式)”可知，在人际交往中，不应该依赖官方或某人团体来判断事件的对错，而应该尊重其他人的决定，所以本段主要表达了在人际交往中，尊重很重要。故选D项。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·辽宁·期中） The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can’t step into the same river twice, for you aren’t the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality that everything is always changing. Yet so many of us have difficulty adapting to change. We deny it, resist it or attempt to control it, the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety and burnout. It doesn’t have to be that way. No doubt, change can, and often does, hurt. But with the right mind-set, it can also be a force for growth. It’s not as if we have any choice in the matter. Like it or not, life is change. We’d be wise to shift our position from useless resistance to being in conversation with change instead. A concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by Peter Sterling and Joseph Eyer, allostasis is defined as “stability through change”. In other words, the way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent. From neuroscience to pain science and psychology, allostasis has become the standard model for understanding change in the scientific community. The brain is at its best when it is constantly making new connections. Overcoming pain, be it physical or psychological, is not about resistance (which often worsens the experience) or trying to get back to where you were before a distressing event or situation. It’s about balancing acceptance with problem-solving and moving forward to a new normal. Yet this concept is still little known to ordinary people and it is time to start practicing it now. Over the past few years, the river of change has been flowing mercilessly, and it shows no signs of letting up. Hardly a decade after the widespread adoption of social media, a new technology that may be far more powerful, artificial intelligence, is being widely used. It’s like what our friend Heraclitus advised: Take part in change by focusing on what we can control and trying to let go of what we can’t. Our ability to work with these changes is directly related to our life satisfaction. 5．What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A．We could have a right mind-set. B．Philosophy exists everywhere. C．Some people are wiser than others. D．Change is unavoidable in life. 6．How should we deal with changes according to the author? A．Ignore them. B．Participate in them. C．Fight against them. D．Put them under control. 7．What does the underlined phrase “letting up” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Slowing down. B．Setting off. C．Marching on. D．Pulling in. 8．What is the best title for the text? A．Why Can’t We Adapt to Changes in Life? B．How Can We Increase Our Life Satisfaction? C．Let’s Transform Our Relationship With Change D．Try to Help the Public to Understand Allostasis 【答案】5．D 6．B 7．A 8．C 【导语】本文体裁为议论文。 文章探讨了变化的不可避免性及其对个人生活的影响，提出应通过积极的态度和方法来适应变化，而不是抗拒，以此提高生活质量。 5．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can’t step into the same river twice, for you aren’t the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality that everything is always changing.(古希腊哲学家赫拉克利特教导说，你不能两次踏入同一条河流，因为每次你都不是同一个你，河水一直在流动。这是一个强有力的方式来表达一切都在不断变化的事实。)”可知，描述的现象是生活中变化是不可避免的。故选D项。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We’d be wise to shift our position from useless resistance to being in conversation with change instead.(我们明智的做法是从无用的抵抗转变为与变化进行对话。)”和最后一段中的“Take part in change by focusing on what we can control and trying to let go of what we can’t.(通过专注于我们能控制的事情并努力放下我们不能控制的事情来参与变化。)”可知，作者建议我们应该参与变化。故选B项。 7．词句猜测题。根据第六段的“Over the past few years, the river of change has been flowing mercilessly, and it shows no signs of letting up.(在过去的几年里，变化的河流无情地流淌，没有任何____的迹象。)”可知，变化的河流无情地流淌，没有减速的迹象，由此可以推测“letting up”的意思是“减缓”或“放缓”。故选A项。 8．主旨大意题。文章最后一段“It’s like what our friend Heraclitus advised: Take part in change by focusing on what we can control and trying to let go of what we can’t. Our ability to work with these changes is directly related to our life satisfaction.(就像我们的朋友赫拉克利特建议的那样：参与变革，专注于我们能控制的事情，努力放下我们不能控制的事情。我们应对这些变化的能力与我们的生活满意度直接相关。)”以及全文内容来看，文章主要讨论了如何转变我们与变化的关系，从无用的抵抗转变为积极地参与变化，以适应不断变化的生活，提高生活满意度。C项（让我们用变化来改变我们的关系）能概括全文内容。故选C项。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·吉林长春·期中） This summer, Europe’s most popular attractions are fighting back against overtourism (过度旅游). As many destinations move to restrict, fine and protest tourists for bad behavior, Copenhagen is trying a different approach to turning tourism from a negative force to a positive one. Tourism officials in Copenhagen introduced CopenPay, a new pilot project that will provide various gifts and benefits to travelers who engage in climate-friendly behaviors, such as taking public transport or volunteering in clean-up efforts. These include free coffee and free museum tours. Green actions have become a currency for enjoying Copenhagen’s free food and cultural experiences. Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen, says the initiative is not meant to increase tourism but merely promotes a better way to go about it. It aims to help transform tourism from “an environmental burden” into a “force for positive change.” He adds, “An important step in this transformation is to change how we move around on the destination, what we consume, and how we interact with the locals.” According to a 2023 sustainable report from a London-based market research group, 81% of consumers say they want to act more sustainably, but only 22% have changed their behavior. Mikkel views CopenPay as an experimental step to bridge the gap between the desire to act sustainably and actual behavior. “We hope that by showing the success of this and other initiatives, other cities around the globe will be inspired to find their way to encourage more sustainable tourism behavior, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for everyone.” Will Copenhagen’s strategy work? Only time will tell. Still, Randy Durband, chief executive of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, believes it “deserves some credit for not shaking a fist at bad behavior but trying to make it fun and have some rewards and benefits.” 1．How does Copenhagen cope with overtourism? A．By rewarding tourists for their green actions. B．By providing free public transport for tourists. C．By charging a heavy fine for tourists’ bad behavior. D．By limiting the number of tourists in popular attractions. 2．What is CopenPay intended for? A．Improving the city’s image. B．Promoting sustainable tourism. C．Increasing income from tourism. D．Enriching tourists’ travel experiences. 3．What can be inferred about CopenPay from Mikkel Aarø-Hansen? A．It only works for a small number of tourists. B．It pushes the development of global tourism. C．It is expected to spread green tourism initiatives. D．It has inspired many cities to follow its example. 4．What is Randy Durband’s attitude towards CopenPay? A．Disapproving. B．Doubtful. C．Uncaring. D．Positive. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了哥本哈根正在尝试不同的方法，将旅游业从负面力量转变为积极力量。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Tourism officials in Copenhagen introduced CopenPay, a new pilot project that will provide various gifts and benefits to travelers who engage in climate-friendly behaviors, such as taking public transport or volunteering in clean-up efforts.(哥本哈根的旅游官员介绍了CopenPay，这是一个新的试点项目，将为从事气候友好行为的旅行者提供各种礼物和福利，例如乘坐公共交通工具或自愿参与清理工作)”可知，哥本哈根为从事气候友好行为的旅行者提供各种礼物和福利，即哥本哈根通过奖励游客的绿色行动来应对过度旅游。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen, says the initiative is not meant to increase tourism but merely promotes a better way to go about it. It aims to help transform tourism from “an environmental burden” into a “force for positive change.”(Wonderful Copenhagen首席执行官Mikkel Aarø-Hansen表示，该倡议的目的不是增加旅游业，而只是促进更好的旅游方式。它的目的是帮助旅游业从“环境负担”转变为“积极变革的力量”)”可知，CopenPay的目的是促进更好的旅游方式，促进可持续旅游业发展。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“Mikkel views CopenPay as an experimental step to bridge the gap between the desire to act sustainably and actual behavior. “We hope that by showing the success of this and other initiatives, other cities around the globe will be inspired to find their way to encourage more sustainable tourism behavior, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for everyone.”(Mikkel将CopenPay视为弥合可持续行动愿望与实际行为之间差距的实验性步骤。“我们希望通过展示这一举措和其他举措的成功，全球其他城市将受到启发，找到鼓励更可持续旅游行为的方法，最终为每个人带来更可持续的未来。”)”可知，根据Mikkel Aarø-Hansen所说，这一举措和其他举措的成功能够使其他城市受到启发，找到更可持续旅游的方法，即CopenPay有望推广绿色旅游的举措。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, Randy Durband, chief executive of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, believes it “deserves some credit for not shaking a fist at bad behavior but trying to make it fun and have some rewards and benefits.”(尽管如此，全球可持续旅游理事会首席执行官Randy Durband认为，它“没有对不良行为挥拳相向，而是试图让它变得有趣，并获得一些奖励和好处，这值得称赞。”)”可知，Randy Durband表示哥本哈根的试点项目CopenPay获得了一些奖励和好处，这是值得称赞的，由此推知，Randy Durband对于CopenPay的态度是赞同的。故选D。 Passage 2 （24-25高二上·辽宁沈阳五校联考·期中） In our daily schedules and busy lives, there are moments when we tend to think about where we are heading in life. Can we say that we are living a successful life, or even heading toward one? How to achieve success in life actually depends on what success means to you. Most people think of success as getting a highly-paid job. But what they are forgetting is that a job is just a means to make your life easier. What is the point of earning a lot of money if you don’t get the time for people who are most important to you in life? After all, you are earning for them and yourself only, right? In addition, it is very difficult to keep a balance for those who are always looking for more and are never happy with themselves currently. It becomes, therefore, necessary to be thankful for all that you have achieved in life and be proud of yourself. Another key is to not only be confident but also respect what others say. A person who respects his elders and values their advice always becomes more successful in life compared to those with overconfidence. Most of us tend to focus on things that we don’t have. For example, you might be sad that you aren’t the manager of your company. However, you don’t understand the fact that there may be thousands of people who are dying to be in the place where you are right now. At times counting the coins in your hand is better than regretting that you didn’t get a gold mine. Obviously, life is to move forward. But then in the end, it is the experience you get from the journey of life that matters, not the destination you are heading toward. Success in life may be different for different people, but living happily each and every moment is the main key to becoming successful in life. So what are you doing now to live a successful life? 5．What does the author think of work and life? A．Work is as necessary as life. B．Earn to live and don’t live to earn. C．A highly-paid job means a successful life. D．It’s hard to keep a balance between work and life. 6．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A．The importance of keeping moving forward. B．The importance of making use of what you own. C．The importance of having confidence in yourself. D．The importance of being grateful for what you have. 7．What does the author suggest at the end of the text? A．Being proud of yourself. B．Living in the present happily. C．Being different from others in life. D．Determining the destination of your life. 8．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To give us some tips on being successful in life. B．To warn us not to just think about making money. C．To encourage us to be confident about the future life. D．To show us different views of different people on success. 【答案】5．B 6．D 7．B 8．A 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了成功生活的定义，指出成功不仅在于高薪工作或物质财富，更在于平衡生活、感恩成就、尊重他人及享受每一刻的快乐。 5．推理判断题。 根据文章第二段的“Most people think of success as getting a highly-paid job. But what they are forgetting is that a job is just a means to make your life easier. What is the point of earning a lot of money if you don’t get the time for people who are most important to you in life? After all, you are earning for them and yourself only, right?(大多数人认为成功就是找到一份高薪工作。但他们忘记的是，工作只是让你的生活更轻松的一种手段。如果你没有时间陪伴生活中对你最重要的人，那么赚很多钱又有什么意义呢？毕竟，你只为他们和你自己赚钱，对吧？)”可知，作者对于工作和生活的看法是：挣钱是为了生活，而生活并不是为了挣钱。故选B项。 6．主旨大意题。根据文章第四段的“Most of us tend to focus on things that we don’t have. For example, you might be sad that you aren’t the manager of your company. However, you don’t understand the fact that there may be thousands of people who are dying to be in the place where you are right now. At times counting the coins in your hand is better than regretting that you didn’t get a gold mine.(我们大多数人倾向于关注我们没有的东西。例如，你可能会因为自己不是公司的经理而感到难过。然而，你不明白这样一个事实，即可能有成千上万的人渴望来到你现在所在的地方。有时候，数着手中的硬币总比后悔没有得到金矿要好)”可知，作者认为，我们不应该总是专注于自己没有的东西，而应该对自己所拥有的一切心怀感激。故选D项。 7．推理判断题。 根据文章最后一段的“Success in life may be different for different people, but living happily each and every moment is the main key to becoming successful in life.(生活中的成功对不同的人来说可能不同，但快乐地生活每一刻是人生成功的关键)”可知，作者建议把握现在，快乐地活在当下才是人生成功的关键。故选B项。 8．推理判断题。 根据文章第一段的“How to achieve success in life actually depends on what success means to you. (如何在生活中取得成功实际上取决于成功对你意味着什。)”和第三段的“It becomes, therefore, necessary to be thankful for all that you have achieved in life and be proud of yourself. Another key is to not only be confident but also respect what others say. (因此，有必要感谢你在生活中所取得的一切，并为自己感到骄傲。另一个关键是不仅要自信，还要尊重别人说的话)”和第四段的“At times counting the coins in your hand is better than regretting that you didn’t get a gold mine. (有时候，数着手中的硬币总比后悔没有得到金矿要好)”和文章最后一段“Success in life may be different for different people, but living happily each and every moment is the main key to becoming successful in life. (生活中的成功对不同的人来说可能不同，但快乐地生活每一刻是人生成功的关键)”可知，文章主要讨论了如何定义成功以及如何在生活中取得成功。作者就如何才能拥有成功的人生给出了一些建议，即：挣钱是为了生活，而生活并不是为了挣钱；对于自己所拥有的一切心存感激，自信并且尊重他人的意见；把握现在，快乐地活在当下，不要过度执着于赚钱。故选A项。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·黑龙江·期中） Planetary changes which will have an influence on many are drawing near because of the poor ecological state of the planet. Actually change has already begun through climate changes, but most humans haven’t noticed this yet. Climate change has begun to influence the world already and will begin to worsen within the next few years. As the planet is under big geological (地质的) stresses, which are continuously increasing, it will in the future no longer be able to support its population. Shortage of resources, over-farming, lack of clean air, not enough clean drinking water and drought are some of the issues that will all play a much greater role in the near future. Humans have caused large ecological destruction. The lifestyles of many people are changing at a fast speed; however, this will finally result in a shortage of some valuable resources. When this shortage begins to happen, people will no longer be able to have sustainable (可持续的) lifestyles. It’s important to understand that everyone plays a role in the whole process of life. Each person’s decision can finally affect the future. These decisions, all combined, can have a very good effect on what the future will be like for humans. So the future depends on the choices we make at the present moment. While more and more people are becoming aware of climate change and other environmental problems related to global warming, not all are fully understanding how far-reaching its effects will be. Unfortunately, most of the humans realize that the planet isn’t functioning well, but they don’t understand that this is creating a major problem for the future survival of humans. So, every person should make the necessary changes to reduce their influence on the environment and help create a more sustainable future 1．What do we know about climate change from the text?

Shortage of resources, over-farming, lack of clean air, not enough clean drinking water and drought are some of the issues that will all play a much greater role in the near future.”（随着地球承受着不断增加的重大地质压力，它将不再能够养活其人口。资源短缺、过度耕作、缺乏清洁空气、清洁饮用水不足以及干旱等问题在未来都将扮演更加重要的角色。）第三段中“Humans have caused large ecological destruction. The lifestyles of many people are changing at a fast speed; however, this will finally result in a shortage of some valuable resources.”（人类造成了巨大的生态破坏。许多人的生活方式正在快速变化；然而，这最终将导致一些宝贵资源的短缺。）可知，该两段段主要描述了人类未来将会面对的问题。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“So, every person should make the necessary changes to reduce their influence on the environment and help create a more sustainable future.”（因此，每个人都应该做出必要的改变，以减少他们对环境的影响，并帮助创造一个更可持续的未来。）和文章内容可知，作者写这篇文章是为了呼吁人们能够帮助创造一个可持续的未来。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Planetary changes which will have an influence on many are drawing near because of the poor ecological state of the planet.”（由于地球的生态状况不佳，那些将对许多人产生影响的星球变化即将来临。）和第三段“Humans have caused large ecological destruction.”（人类造成了巨大的生态破坏。），以及最后一段“So, every person should make the necessary changes to reduce their influence on the environment and help create a more sustainable future.”（因此，每个人都应该做出必要的改变，以减少他们对环境的影响，并帮助创造一个更可持续的未来。）及全文内容可知，文章主要指出了人类对地球的生态环境造成了严重的破坏，从而引发从气候改变开始的星球变化，对人类的未来造成了很大的影响。由此可知，文章最好的标题是“环境破坏与人类的未来”。故选D。 Passage 2 （22-23高二上·吉林·期中） Contrary to popular opinion, the scientific pursuit for knowledge is not a predictable and well-defined process. To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative, fail, and learn by chance. There is the romantic idea of the scientist who has an Eureka moment (顿悟时刻) and suddenly arrives at new insights. Another impression is that research only involves formal steps. Neither of those ideas is correct. “Science and art are two different ways to make something understandable or imaginable,” says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers. “From the outside, the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy. But the scientific process can also unfold (展开) in an unpredictable way. Creative and associative thinking is very important for scientists to gain insight and make connections.” There is an intersection (交叉点) between science and art. This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to amplify creative freedom. Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel, together with other scientists and artists, have designed a plan to learn from each other and to exchange ideas. One example is the recent and special project in which they measured the forces that act on plant cells. A molecular (分子) sensor was used to visualise the different forces. They revealed the results in colourful images, each representing a different force. What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society. There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science. “It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented, and people do not have any insight into the artistic process leading to discovery. As a scientist, you are criticised if you say that something is different a few years later. Then you are viewed as unreliable. But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science,” says Weijers. 5．What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．The views on science research. B．The purpose of science research. C．The hardship of science research. D．The attitude to science research. 6．What can we know from Weijers’s view? A．Scientists should have creative and associative thinking. B．The artistic process is too messy to be used in research. C．The scientific process always unfolds in an unpredictable way. D．The research process and the artistic process are totally different. 7．What does the underlined word “amplify” mean in the third paragraph? A．Refuse. B．Detect. C．Increase. D．Imply. 8．Why does the author mention Weijers’s research on plant cells? A．To stress the importance of thinking freely. B．To display the beauty of colourful images. C．To present the findings of his recent project. D．To show the connection between science and art. 【答案】5．A 6．A 7．C 8．D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了艺术在科学研究中的作用，艺术与科学之间是有交叉的。 5．主旨大意题。根据第一段内容“Contrary to popular opinion, the scientific pursuit for knowledge is not a predictable and well-defined process. To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative fail, and learn by chance. There is the romantic idea of the scientist who has an Eureka moment (顿悟时刻) and suddenly arrives at new insights. Another impression is that research only involves formal steps. Neither of those ideas is correct.(与流行的观点相反，对知识的科学追求不是一个可预测和明确定义的过程。为了有新的发现，研究人员需要创造性、失败和偶然学习的自由。有一个浪漫的想法，科学家突然有了一个顿悟的时刻，突然有了新的见解。另一个印象是，研究只涉及正式步骤。这些想法都不正确。)”可知，第一段主要讨论人们对于科学研究的看法。故选A。 6．推理判断题。根据第二段Weijers说的话“Science and art are two different ways to make something comprehensible or imaginable(科学和艺术是使事物变得可理解或可想象的两种不同方式)”和“But the scientific process can also unfold (展开) in an unpredictable way. Creative and associative thinking is very important for scientists to gain insight and make connections.(但科学过程也可能以一种不可预测的方式展开。创造性和联想思维对科学家获得洞察力和建立联系非常重要。)”可知，从Weijers的观点中我们可以了解到科学家应该具有创造性和联想性思维。故选A。 7．词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Creative and associative thinking is very important for scientists to gain insight and make connections.(创造性和联想思维对科学家获得洞察力和建立联系非常重要。)”和第三段的“There is an intersection (交叉点) between science and art.(科学和艺术之间有交集。)”和“look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas(从艺术家那里寻找灵感并交流想法)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“科学和艺术之间有交集。这就是为什么瓦赫宁根的科学家们从艺术家那里寻找灵感，并就如何扩大创作自由交换意见”，因此划线词amplify的意思是“扩大，增加”，和increase意思相近，故选C。 8．推理判断题。第三段第一句“There is an intersection (交叉点) between science and art. (科学和艺术之间有交叉。)”和“One example is the recent and special project in which they measured the forces that act on plant cells. A molecular (分子) sensor was used to visualise the different forces. They revealed the results in colourful images, each representing a different force.(一个例子是最近的一个特殊项目，他们测量了作用在植物细胞上的力。一个分子传感器被用来观察不同的力。他们用彩色图像展示了实验结果，每张图像代表一种不同的力。)”可知，通过Weijers的关于植物细胞的研究事例说明艺术与科学之间的交叉融合，表明艺术与科学的联系。故选D。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解 说明文 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25学年高二上·辽宁大连·期中） Chen Yuxuan, a female student from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, scored 602 on this year’s college entrance exam but chose to attend Zhejiang Polytechnic University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, a vocational (职业的) college. Her decision has sparked widespread discussion. In a society that places high value on academic degrees, many people don’t understand her choice. They view attending a vocational college with such a high score as a “waste”. However, I support her decision and believe her choice is not only rational but also reflects careful career planning. Employment is a reality every graduate must face. Chen chose a vocational school due to its high employment outcomes and partnerships with large companies like China Railway. In today’s tough job market, choosing a vocational college with 602 points isn’t shameful-on the contrary, it’s practical. Vocational students often excel in hands-on skills, making them more competitive in technical fields. Chen’s major, railway transportation equipment and control, offers great job prospects, indicating her choice was well thought-out. Chen’s decision challenges societal prejudices while also reflecting the rapid growth of vocational education. Take the above college as an example: its popular majors in the rail transportation, electrical and mechanical fields had a minimum admission score of 573. It’s remarkable that competitive programs, once only seen at regular universities, are now available at vocational schools as well. Of course, while Chen’s decision stands out, it’s far from a widespread trend. It’s worth noting that this year’s gaokao saw some surprising shifts with high-scoring humanities students also opting (选择) for vocational schools, which has led to more complicated public reactions. Life choices tied to gaokao applications are always complex and subject to change-what was a hot major a few years ago may now be less appealing. In times of change, it’s crucial to calmly assess (评估) your abilities and values to determine the best path forward. 1．What does the underlined word “rational” in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A．awkward B．sensible C．delicate D．critical 2．Why did Chen choose Zhejiang Polytechnic University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering? A．For its location. B．For its job prospects. C．For its reputation. D．For its unique programs. 3．Which statement is true about vocational education in this article? A．It has gained greater social recognition. B．It remains undervalued by most employers. C．It is now equal in quality to regular higher education. D．It is the first choice for low-scoring students. 4．What does the author recommend when choosing an educational path? A．Following societal expectations. B．Prioritizing future job opportunities. C．Selecting majors with less competition. D．Considering personal strengths and interests. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·辽宁·期中） Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries. Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others. A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not. Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.” 5．What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club? A．They’re unfair. B．They’re conservative. C．They’re objective. D．They’re strict. 6．What can we infer about girls from the study in Science? A．They think themselves smart. B．They look up to great thinkers. C．They see gender differences earlier than boys. D．They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs 7．Why are more geniuses known to the public? A．Improved global communication. B．Less discrimination against women. C．Acceptance of victors’ concepts. D．Changes in people’s social positions. 8．What is the best title for the text? A．Geniuses Think Alike B．Genius Takes Many Forms C．Genius and Intelligence D．Genius and Luck Passage 3 （24-25高二上·黑龙江·期中） ChatGPT, a new chatbot model developed by US-based AI research laboratory OpenAI, has quickly become a hit globally due to its advanced conversational capabilities, It can write emails, computer codes, even academic papers and poems, and has passed a number of tests within seconds. Academicians worldwide are discussing whether AI should be used in education. Some universities have banned it. The New York City’s Department of Education, for example, banned the chatbot from its public school devices and networks, with some people warning that it could encourage more students to cheat, especially in exams. Many more welcome this app, claiming that, like most technological advances and groundbreaking innovations in history, ChatGPT is a powerful tool for the development of higher education. Embracing AI as early as possible is advisable. Higher education institutions should make preparations for including AI in their syllabus (教学大纲). They can start by offering related courses, because by understanding how it works, they can make better use of it. Besides, students with good knowledge of AI are more competitive when it comes to getting a good job, as an increasing number of jobs are being done by computer programmes-some in cooperation with humans, AI-powered education technologies can be adopted to make the learning experience more suitable for each student based on his or her strengths and weaknesses. As for professors, AI can free them from doing some dull tasks so they can concentrate on teaching and interacting with students. Since we cannot avoid ChatGPT and other AI-powered applications from entering the field of higher education, we should make collective efforts to ensure they have a positive impact on society and the future of education Despite AI helping make learning much more interesting and enjoyable, humans need to work very hard to win the race with technology. 9．Why do some higher education institutions forbid ChatGPT? A．ChatGPT can write emails and computer codes quickly. B．Some professors might not perform their duties properly. C．Students would have conversations with each other via it. D．Students might seek help from it in completing the exams. 10．What is the author’s attitude towards AI applications in education? A．Fearful. B．Disapproving. C．Supportive. D．Uncertain. 11．How can AI benefit students of higher education? A．It offers students an increasing number of jobs. B．It personalizes students’ learning experience.

D．Humans will be left behind by technology. 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·内蒙古·期中） Hollywood may have warned about the risks of striking up relationships with artificial intelligence, but one computer scientist says we may be missing a trick if we do not embrace the positives that human-machine relationships have to offer. Tony Prescott, professor of cognitive robotics at the University of Sheffield, argues that AI has an important role to play in preventing human loneliness. Just as we develop meaningful bonds with pets, and have no reservations about children playing with dolls, so should we be open to the value of AI to adults, he says. “Human loneliness is often characterised by a down ward spiral (螺旋线) in which isolation leads to lower self-esteem (自尊), which discourages further interaction with people,” Prescott writes in a new book. The Psychology of Artificial Intelligence. “There may be ways in which AI companionship could help break this cycle by boosting feelings of self-worth and helping maintain or improve social skills. If so, relationships with AIs could support people to find companionship with human and artificial others.” With more than a third of Americans reporting “serious loneliness,” the loneliness problem has become evident in recent years. Whether AI can, or should, be part of the solution is not a new debate. Sherry Turkle, professor of social science at MIT, has warned that forming relationships with machines could backfire, and lead people to have fewer secure and fulfilling human relationships. Murali Doraiswamy, professor of medicine at Duke University, said: “Right now, all the evidence points to having a close human friend as the best solution for loneliness. But until society prioritizes social connectedness, robots are a solution for the millions of people who have no friends.” Researchers may soon know whether people turn to AI for company. Tech firms are building chatbots to be ever more fluent and responsive to emotions. This week, it emerged that OpenAI asked Scarlett Johansson to be the voice of their latest chatbot, GPT-4o, to “help consumers to feel comfortable”. Johansson declined, but the chatbot was released with a voice that friends and family thought was hers. OpenAI has since suspended (中止) the voice option “out of respect for Ms Johansson”. 1．What do the pets and dolls mentioned in Paragraph 2 help illustrate? A．The limitations of human-AI relationships in daily life. B．The potential for AI to provide similar companionship. C．The possibility for AI to replace traditional companions. D．The overestimation of AI’s role in ending human loneliness. 2．What do the underlined words “this cycle” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The repeated use of AI and others for companionship. B．The consistent failure of human relationships with AI. C．The process of developing human self-worth and social skills. D．The pattern of isolation, lower self-esteem and further isolation. 3．Who expresses concern that AI companionship could weaken human connections? A．Tony Prescott. B．Sherry Turkle. C．Murali Doraiswamy. D．Scarlett Johansson. 4．Which central question does the text mainly explore? A．Could AI contribute to increased loneliness? B．Will AI companionship replace human interaction? C．Can AI be used as an effective solution for loneliness? D．Is AI companionship preferable to traditional relationships? Passage 2 （24-25高二上·黑龙江·期中） Paws walk across my keyboard, and my cat Monty lies on my lap, unaware of the world beyond our garden fence. In these uncertain times of the pandemic, the company of animals is needed more than ever. To the joy of our cats, dogs and all pets in between, staying at home is an opportunity to give them our undivided attention. In return, they provide us with a much-needed source of happiness. Pet ownership is well known to help settle anxiety, reduce loneliness and lift moods. Even as we spend an unprecedented（空前的）amount of time in isolation（隔离）, pets are still acting as channels to building a sense of community as people share pictures of their beloved companions online in an effort to raise spirits. It is in such times that we realize just how much our pets matter as part of the family. As a long-term cat lady, I have never questioned that a pet is a precious member of the household. Our pets can be as valuable as our human family members in teaching us about ourselves and how to approach the world. In short, our animals' love and loyalty are unique. As such, the death of a pet can feel as sad as that of a close friend or family member. The grief（悲痛）remains something that is often seen as shameful, and many admit to demanding time off work without being honest about why. However, with the loss of a pet comes an emptiness where their unconditional love once was, and moments in the day once dedicated to their care become suddenly unoccupied. Vet and author James Herriot wrote, "If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty and thankfulness, animals are better off than a lot of humans." Pets are an additional member of the family, and now more than ever, they can serve as models for the kind of basic humanity we ought to be extending to an unstable world. 5．What is the main idea of paragraphs 1 and 2? A．How to play with pets. B．How keeping a pet benefits humans. C．How the author started to keep a pet. D．How pets keep people away during isolation. 6．What does the author think pets mean to humans? A．They are as precious as our family members. B．They are only secondary to family members. C．They are more like teachers than friends. D．They help us take care of our family. 7．Why do people lie when requesting time off after the death of a pet? A．They feel puzzled about its death. B．They consider it a private family thing. C．They are annoyed by the feeling of emptiness. D．They feel embarrassed about their sadness over it. 8．What does James Herriot imply in the last paragraph? A．Pets can teach us to be better humans. B．Pets need more attention now than ever. C．Pets and humans have little in common. D．Pets can act as a tool to calm the world. 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·辽宁·期中） Each April Thais celebrate their “Thai New Year” with a great water fight on the streets. People throw water at everyone passing by and even block the road so they can enter buses and “paint the faces” of all the passengers. But there are a few people who don’t wish to participate in the fun. When I first experienced this celebration, I was one of them. The first time our bus was stopped, 4 people coming into the bus intended to paint everyone’s face. I slowly shook my head to say “No, thank you.”, but a man came from behind me and quickly painted my face. Then the other three felt inspired and added a little more “paint” to my face. I didn’t actively stop them for fear that if I did, they would become more aggressive (好斗的) and throw even more water at me and possibly my backpack, which would damage whatever was inside. Even though it happened only once, emotionally it was very frightening because I felt so powerless. The experience caused me to think a lot about respect and moral autonomy or individual judgment vs “permission” from the authorities. On this day, people of Thailand, including the police, give “permission” for these activities. So what about respect for the individual? If someone does not want to be painted, is it OK to do it anyhow because the majority is having a good time and sincerely believes it is harmless fun, or because the police allow it? In my opinion, if someone does not want to have something done to them, then you’re supposed to respect their decision. You can’t rely on the authorities or some group to tell you if something is right or wrong or if you should or shouldn’t do something. I believe this is a much healthier way of living with one another in this world. 1．How does the author introduce the topic? A．By raising a question. B．By making an assumption. C．By providing a comparison. D．By supporting a celebration. 2．Why did the author inactively resist being painted? A．He was afraid of causing conflict. B．He wanted to protect things in his backpack. C．The activity got official permission. D．The majority were in favor of the behavior. 3．What did the author think of the experience? A．It was unpleasant. B．It was invaluable. C．It was informative. D．It was acceptable. 4．What is mainly conveyed in the last paragraph? A．Do as you would be done by. B．Fear always springs from ignorance. C．When in Rome do as the Romans do. D．Respect matters in interpersonal communication. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·辽宁·期中） The Greek philosopher Heraclitus taught that you can’t step into the same river twice, for you aren’t the same person at each visit, and the water is ever flowing. It is a powerful way to represent the reality that everything is always changing. Yet so many of us have difficulty adapting to change. We deny it, resist it or attempt to control it, the result of which is almost always some combination of stress, anxiety and burnout. It doesn’t have to be that way. No doubt, change can, and often does, hurt. But with the right mind-set, it can also be a force for growth. It’s not as if we have any choice in the matter. Like it or not, life is change. We’d be wise to shift our position from useless resistance to being in conversation with change instead. A concept called allostasis can help. Developed in the late 1980s by Peter Sterling and Joseph Eyer, allostasis is defined as “stability through change”. In other words, the way to stay stable through the process of change is by changing, at least to some extent. From neuroscience to pain science and psychology, allostasis has become the standard model for understanding change in the scientific community. The brain is at its best when it is constantly making new connections. Overcoming pain, be it physical or psychological, is not about resistance (which often worsens the experience) or trying to get back to where you were before a distressing event or situation. It’s about balancing acceptance with problem-solving and moving forward to a new normal. Yet this concept is still little known to ordinary people and it is time to start practicing it now. Over the past few years, the river of change has been flowing mercilessly, and it shows no signs of letting up. Hardly a decade after the widespread adoption of social media, a new technology that may be far more powerful, artificial intelligence, is being widely used. It’s like what our friend Heraclitus advised: Take part in change by focusing on what we can control and trying to let go of what we can’t. Our ability to work with these changes is directly related to our life satisfaction. 5．What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph? A．We could have a right mind-set. B．Philosophy exists everywhere. C．Some people are wiser than others. D．Change is unavoidable in life. 6．How should we deal with changes according to the author? A．Ignore them. B．Participate in them. C．Fight against them. D．Put them under control. 7．What does the underlined phrase “letting up” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Slowing down. B．Setting off. C．Marching on. D．Pulling in. 8．What is the best title for the text? A．Why Can’t We Adapt to Changes in Life? B．How Can We Increase Our Life Satisfaction? C．Let’s Transform Our Relationship With Change D．Try to Help the Public to Understand Allostasis 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （24-25高二上·吉林长春·期中） This summer, Europe’s most popular attractions are fighting back against overtourism (过度旅游). As many destinations move to restrict, fine and protest tourists for bad behavior, Copenhagen is trying a different approach to turning tourism from a negative force to a positive one. Tourism officials in Copenhagen introduced CopenPay, a new pilot project that will provide various gifts and benefits to travelers who engage in climate-friendly behaviors, such as taking public transport or volunteering in clean-up efforts. These include free coffee and free museum tours. Green actions have become a currency for enjoying Copenhagen’s free food and cultural experiences. Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen, says the initiative is not meant to increase tourism but merely promotes a better way to go about it. It aims to help transform tourism from “an environmental burden” into a “force for positive change.” He adds, “An important step in this transformation is to change how we move around on the destination, what we consume, and how we interact with the locals.” According to a 2023 sustainable report from a London-based market research group, 81% of consumers say they want to act more sustainably, but only 22% have changed their behavior. Mikkel views CopenPay as an experimental step to bridge the gap between the desire to act sustainably and actual behavior. “We hope that by showing the success of this and other initiatives, other cities around the globe will be inspired to find their way to encourage more sustainable tourism behavior, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for everyone.” Will Copenhagen’s strategy work? Only time will tell. Still, Randy Durband, chief executive of the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, believes it “deserves some credit for not shaking a fist at bad behavior but trying to make it fun and have some rewards and benefits.” 1．How does Copenhagen cope with overtourism? A．By rewarding tourists for their green actions. B．By providing free public transport for tourists. C．By charging a heavy fine for tourists’ bad behavior. D．By limiting the number of tourists in popular attractions. 2．What is CopenPay intended for? A．Improving the city’s image. B．Promoting sustainable tourism. C．Increasing income from tourism. D．Enriching tourists’ travel experiences. 3．What can be inferred about CopenPay from Mikkel Aarø-Hansen? A．It only works for a small number of tourists. B．It pushes the development of global tourism. C．It is expected to spread green tourism initiatives. D．It has inspired many cities to follow its example. 4．What is Randy Durband’s attitude towards CopenPay? A．Disapproving. B．Doubtful. C．Uncaring. D．Positive. Passage 2 （24-25高二上·辽宁沈阳五校联考·期中） In our daily schedules and busy lives, there are moments when we tend to think about where we are heading in life. Can we say that we are living a successful life, or even heading toward one? How to achieve success in life actually depends on what success means to you. Most people think of success as getting a highly-paid job. But what they are forgetting is that a job is just a means to make your life easier. What is the point of earning a lot of money if you don’t get the time for people who are most important to you in life? After all, you are earning for them and yourself only, right? In addition, it is very difficult to keep a balance for those who are always looking for more and are never happy with themselves currently. It becomes, therefore, necessary to be thankful for all that you have achieved in life and be proud of yourself. Another key is to not only be confident but also respect what others say. A person who respects his elders and values their advice always becomes more successful in life compared to those with overconfidence. Most of us tend to focus on things that we don’t have. For example, you might be sad that you aren’t the manager of your company. However, you don’t understand the fact that there may be thousands of people who are dying to be in the place where you are right now. At times counting the coins in your hand is better than regretting that you didn’t get a gold mine. Obviously, life is to move forward. But then in the end, it is the experience you get from the journey of life that matters, not the destination you are heading toward. Success in life may be different for different people, but living happily each and every moment is the main key to becoming successful in life. So what are you doing now to live a successful life? 5．What does the author think of work and life? A．Work is as necessary as life. B．Earn to live and don’t live to earn. C．A highly-paid job means a successful life. D．It’s hard to keep a balance between work and life. 6．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about? A．The importance of keeping moving forward. B．The importance of making use of what you own. C．The importance of having confidence in yourself. D．The importance of being grateful for what you have. 7．What does the author suggest at the end of the text? A．Being proud of yourself. B．Living in the present happily. C．Being different from others in life. D．Determining the destination of your life. 8．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To give us some tips on being successful in life. B．To warn us not to just think about making money. C．To encourage us to be confident about the future life. D．To show us different views of different people on success. 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （23-24高二上·黑龙江·期中） Planetary changes which will have an influence on many are drawing near because of the poor ecological state of the planet. Actually change has already begun through climate changes, but most humans haven’t noticed this yet. Climate change has begun to influence the world already and will begin to worsen within the next few years. As the planet is under big geological (地质的) stresses, which are continuously increasing, it will in the future no longer be able to support its population. Shortage of resources, over-farming, lack of clean air, not enough clean drinking water and drought are some of the issues that will all play a much greater role in the near future. Humans have caused large ecological destruction. The lifestyles of many people are changing at a fast speed; however, this will finally result in a shortage of some valuable resources. When this shortage begins to happen, people will no longer be able to have sustainable (可持续的) lifestyles. It’s important to understand that everyone plays a role in the whole process of life. Each person’s decision can finally affect the future. These decisions, all combined, can have a very good effect on what the future will be like for humans. So the future depends on the choices we make at the present moment. While more and more people are becoming aware of climate change and other environmental problems related to global warming, not all are fully understanding how far-reaching its effects will be. Unfortunately, most of the humans realize that the planet isn’t functioning well, but they don’t understand that this is creating a major problem for the future survival of humans. So, every person should make the necessary changes to reduce their influence on the environment and help create a more sustainable future 1．What do we know about climate change from the text? A．It is not casy for people to understand. B．It is expected to become worse soon. C．It is mainly caused by natural disasters. D．It is well realized by most humans. 2．What are paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about? A．Resources humans are running out of. B．Healthy lifestyles humans need to lead. C．Problems humans will be faced with. D．Geological changes humans have caused. 3．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To call on people to contribute to a sustainable future. B．To inform people the planet isn’t functioning properly. C．To warn people of the danger of ecological destruction. D．To tell people the right way to obtain enough resources. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．The Causes of Planetary Changes B．The Influence of Ecological Destruction C．Ways to Build a Sustainable Future D．Environmental Damage and the Human Future Passage 2 （22-23高二上·吉林·期中） Contrary to popular opinion, the scientific pursuit for knowledge is not a predictable and well-defined process. To make new discoveries, researchers need the freedom to be creative, fail, and learn by chance. There is the romantic idea of the scientist who has an Eureka moment (顿悟时刻) and suddenly arrives at new insights. Another impression is that research only involves formal steps. Neither of those ideas is correct. “Science and art are two different ways to make something understandable or imaginable,” says Biochemistry Professor Dolf Weijers. “From the outside, the research process looks very formal and the artistic process looks somewhat messy. But the scientific process can also unfold (展开) in an unpredictable way. Creative and associative thinking is very important for scientists to gain insight and make connections.” There is an intersection (交叉点) between science and art. This is why Wageningen scientists look to artists for inspiration and exchange ideas about how to amplify creative freedom. Weijers and his colleague Joris Sprakel, together with other scientists and artists, have designed a plan to learn from each other and to exchange ideas. One example is the recent and special project in which they measured the forces that act on plant cells. A molecular (分子) sensor was used to visualise the different forces. They revealed the results in colourful images, each representing a different force. What science and art also have in common is that they are topics of discussion in society. There are people who say that they do not value art and people who mistrust science. “It often creates the wrong impression because only the results of scientific studies are presented, and people do not have any insight into the artistic process leading to discovery. As a scientist, you are criticised if you say that something is different a few years later. Then you are viewed as unreliable. But what is often poorly understood is that there are no final results in science,” says Weijers. 5．What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．The views on science research. B．The purpose of science research. C．The hardship of science research. D．The attitude to science research. 6．What can we know from Weijers’s view? A．Scientists should have creative and associative thinking. B．The artistic process is too messy to be used in research. C．The scientific process always unfolds in an unpredictable way. D．The research process and the artistic process are totally different. 7．What does the underlined word “amplify” mean in the third paragraph? A．Refuse. B．Detect. C．Increase. D．Imply. 8．Why does the author mention Weijers’s research on plant cells? A．To stress the importance of thinking freely. B．To display the beauty of colourful images. C．To present the findings of his recent project. D．To show the connection between science and art. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
