美国企业家比尔•盖茨说过: 技术的进步是基于让它融入你的生活,这样你甚至不会真正注意到它,如此一来它就成为了日常生活的一部分。说明技术会深入千家万户,成为人们生活中不可或缺的一部分。
DeepMind, an AI innovator under Google, has made remarkable progress in materials science. The materials cookbook has suddenly grown much larger. Modern technologies like smartphones and planes rely on just 20,000 inorganic materials, mostly discovered through trial and error. Scientists have predicted but not made tens of thousands more.
This week, researchers reported a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool. With this AI, called GNoME, they predicted the properties of another 2.2 million materials. In a companion study, a separate team has shown that such predicted materials can be made efficiently with the help of AI.
For their current work, DeepMind researchers used data on 48,000 known and predicted materials from the company's database and other related ones. They trained an "active learning" AI model. After several rounds, GNoME wound up with predictions for the 2.2 million new materials.
The predictions, published in Nature, are another achievement for DeepMind. Last month, they described an AI that could predict the weather as accurately as large supercomputer-driven models. Now, this new work in materials science is like the AlphaFold equivalent for materials science. AlphaFold is an AI that's able to predict the 3D shape of hundreds of millions of proteins from their amino acid sequence alone.
Researchers say the revolution in materials science is coming, with AI programs and robots powering the search for novel materials in electronics, batteries, and solar cells. It's very impressive, says Andrew Rosen, a computational materials chemist at Imperial College London.

谷歌旗下的人工智能创新企业DeepMind在材料科学领域取得了显著进展。材料“食谱”一下子丰富了许多。像智能手机和平板电脑等现代科技产品仅依赖约2万种无机材料,且这些材料大多是通过反复试验发现的。科学家们已经预测出还有成千上万种材料的存在,但尚未成功研制出来。
本周,研究人员公布了一种新的人工智能(AI)工具。借助这款名为GNoME的人工智能,他们预测出了另外220万种材料的特性。在另一项相关研究中,另一个团队表明,在人工智能的帮助下,这些预测出的材料能够被高效地制造出来。
在当前的研究中,DeepMind的研究人员利用了该公司数据库以及其他相关数据库中4.8万种已知和预测材料的数据。他们训练了一个“主动学习”人工智能模型。经过几轮训练后,GNoME最终预测出了220万种新材料。
这些预测成果发表在《自然》杂志上,这是DeepMind取得的又一项成就。上个月,他们介绍了一种人工智能,它能像大型超级计算机驱动的模型一样准确地预测天气。如今,这项材料科学领域的新成果就如同材料科学领域的AlphaFold。AlphaFold是一种仅根据氨基酸序列就能预测数亿种蛋白质三维结构的人工智能。
研究人员表示,材料科学领域的变革即将到来,人工智能程序和机器人将助力在电子、电池和太阳能电池等领域寻找新型材料。伦敦帝国理工学院的计算材料化学家安德鲁·罗森表示,这非常了不起。

Passage 1
(2025年新课标I卷,C)While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian(行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there's too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet are bothered by facts like these. In their new book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades ago. Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere. Some communities fought back. Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor(市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through.” Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.
Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly. In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty - six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can't move safely around our communities? The authors of Movement have it right: it's time to think differently about that street outside your front door.
28.What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. Cars often get stuck on the road. B. Traffic accidents occur frequently.
C. People walk less and drive more. D. Pedestrians fail to follow the rules.
29. What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do?
A. Keep their cities livable. B. Promote cultural diversity.
C. Help the needy families. D. Make expressways accessible.
30. What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s?
A. They boosted the sales of cars. B. They turned out largely ineffective.
C. They won government support. D. They advocated building new parks.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why the Rush? B. What's Next? C. Where to Stay? D. Who to Blame?
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文,通过引述荷兰作者的新书《出行之道》,批评了城市街道设计过度服务汽车、忽视行人尤其是儿童出行安全的问题,呼呼人们重新思考街道的功能,建设适宜居民生活的城市环境。
28. C 细节理解题。 由第一段中的"declines in pedestrian mobility, especially among young children"及"parents pack them into the car instead"可知,行人(尤其儿童)步行减少而汽车使用增加,即"人们步行更少、开车更多"(People walk less and drive more),故选C项。
29. A 细节理解题。 由第三段中加拿大记者Jane Jacobs呼吁市长将纽约打造为"a decent place to live"(宜居之地)并反对修建高速路可知,她与其他抗议者的核心目标是"保持城市宜居性”(Keep their cities livable),故选A项。
30. B 推理判断题。 由第四段首句"the majority of western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car"及澳大利亚汽车拥有率全球领先的数据可知,尽管发生过抗议,城市规划仍以汽车为中心,即这些运动"基本未奏效"(turned out largely ineffective).故选B项,
31. A 标题归纳题。全文围绕汽车文化导致的"匆忙通行"(rush through)展开批判,末段直指问题核心"Do we recognise what it costs..?"(我们是否意识到代价?),A项"Why the Rush?"(为何匆忙?)以设问形式点明主旨,故选A项。

Passage 2
(2025年1月浙江, D)As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping(形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism(拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
32. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand.
C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition.
33. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey.
C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test.
34. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task.
C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product.
C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章探讨了技术产品中的性别化现象,指出去性别化语的必要性以及性别在产品设计中的深层含义。
32. A 事实细节题。根据第一段中的People are stereotyping their gendered objects in very traditional ways ...和Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this.可知,人们以传统方式对有性别特征的物品形成刻板印象,而解决这一问题的简单方法就是将性别元素从新技术中去除,所以让新技术无性别化的目的是减少刻板印象,故A项正确。
33. B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.”可知,Martin要求参与者对数字语音助手和名为“Miuu”的自动驾驶汽车的男性、女性及不区分性别的版本的依恋程度进行评级,由此可推测,这项研究采用了调查法,参与者需要对相关的调查内容作出回应,故B项符合文意。
34. D 推理判断题。从第四段中的Martin's study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object's name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it they would assume Miuu was a "he" or "she."可知,即便物品名字听起来没有性别区分,人们还是会给它赋予性别,这表明性别观念在人们的思维中根深蒂固,所以很难创造出无性别物品,故D项正确。
35. B 主旨大意题。根据最后一段首句Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism "provides an opportunity to change stereotypes."可知,Martin看到给产品赋予性别有积极的一面,随后举例说明,故B项正确。

Passage 1
(2025-2026学年山东省泰安肥城市高三上学期开学学情诊断)Microscopic pieces of plastic are everywhere. Now, they’ve been found in bottled water in concentrations 10 to 100 times more than previously estimated. Researchers found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic particles (微粒) in a typical liter of bottled water.
About 10% of the detected plastic particles were microplastics, and the other 90% were nanoplastics. Microplastics are between 5 millimeters and 1 micrometer; nanoplastics are particles less than 1 micrometer in size. For context, a human hair is about 70 micrometers thick. Microplastics have already been found in people’s lungs and blood.
Nanoplastics could be even more dangerous than microplastics because when inside the human body, “the smaller it goes, the easier for it to be misidentified as the natural component of the cell,” says Wei Min, a professor of chemistry at Columbia University.
The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) said in a statement that it has had “very limited notice and time” to review the study. But the group said the new detection method “needs to be fully reviewed by the scientific community and more research needs to be done to develop standardized methods for measuring and quantifying nanoplastics in our environment.” The association said there is “no scientific agreement on the potential health impacts of nano- and microplastic particles.”
The particles they could identify accounted for only 10% of total particles they found — the rest could be minerals, other types of plastics, or something else, says Beizhan Yan, a research professor and co-author on the study. They hope the research will lead to a better understanding of how much plastic humans are regularly putting into their bodies and its effects.
Yan says they plan future research employing the same technology to look at plastic particles in tap water, in the air, in food and in human tissues. “This is basically just to open a new window for us to see what was this invisible world before.”
1. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning human hair in paragraph 2?
A. To show the harm of plastic particles.
B. To prove plastic particles are everywhere.
C. To stress the source of plastic particles.
D. To illustrate the size of plastic particles.
2. Why are nanoplastics more dangerous than microplastics?
A. They are more difficult to remove.
B. They are more poisonous to humans.
C. They are more likely to pass as harmless.
D. They are more changeable than microplastics.
3. What is IBWA’s attitude to the study?
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
4. What is Beizhan Yan’s future research plan?
A. To find ways to reduce plastic particles.
B. To remove plastic particles from bottled water.
C. To prove that plastic particles are not harmful.
D. To study plastic particles in different substances.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 4. D

1.D推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Microplastics are between 5 millimeters and 1 micrometer; nanoplastics are particles less than 1 micrometer in size. For context, a human hair is about 70 micrometers thick.(微塑料的尺寸在5毫米到1微米之间;纳米塑料是尺寸小于1微米的微粒。作为参考,人类头发的直径约为70微米)”可推知,作者提及人类头发是为了通过熟悉的事物(头发直径)直观说明微塑料和纳米塑料的微小尺寸,帮助读者理解。故选D项。
2.C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Nanoplastics could be even more dangerous than microplastics because when inside the human body, “the smaller it goes, the easier for it to be misidentified as the natural component of the cell,” says Wei Min, a professor of chemistry at Columbia University.(哥伦比亚大学化学教授魏敏表示,纳米塑料可能比微塑料更危险,因为进入人体后,“塑料微粒的尺寸越小,就越容易被误认为是细胞的天然成分”)”可知,纳米塑料更危险是因为它们更可能被当作无害的细胞天然成分。故选C项。
3.B推理判断题。根据第四段中“The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) said in a statement that it has had “very limited notice and time” to review the study. But the group said the new detection method “needs to be fully reviewed by the scientific community and more research needs to be done to develop standardized methods for measuring and quantifying nanoplastics in our environment.” The association said there is “no scientific agreement on the potential health impacts of nano- and microplastic particles.(国际瓶装水协会(IBWA)在一份声明中表示,其用于审查该研究的“通知时间和审查时长都非常有限”。但该协会称,这种新的检测方法“需要科学界进行全面审查,且还需开展更多研究,以制定出衡量和量化环境中纳米塑料的标准化方法”。该协会还表示,“对于纳米塑料和微塑料微粒的潜在健康影响,目前尚无科学共识”)”可推知,IBWA对该研究持怀疑态度,认为检测方法需审查、健康影响无共识。故选B项。
4. D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Yan says they plan future research employing the same technology to look at plastic particles in tap water, in the air, in food and in human tissues.(严教授表示,他们计划在未来的研究中使用相同技术,研究自来水、空气、食物和人体组织中的塑料微粒)”可知,严教授未来的研究计划是研究不同物质中的塑料微粒。故选D项。
Passage 2
(2025~2026学年福州市高三年级第一次质量检测)
Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme.
Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity.
The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits.
This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought.
Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong.
But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking.
1. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1?
A. AI can write texts as programmed. B. AI can plan sentences in advance.
C. AI can deal with complex tasks. D. AI can simplify rhyming lines.
2. How does “digital microscope” function in the research?
A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs.
C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns.
3. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude?
A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought.
C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning.
4. Which of the following titles best suits this text?
A. Why AI Still Gets It Wrong B. Chatbots’ Language Magic
C. Looking Inside AI’s Mind D. The Rise of AI Chatbots
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. A 4. C
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究人员通过“数字显微镜”探究AI(如Claude)的思维机制,揭示其提前规划、概念理解及推理问题,并提及研究意义。
1.B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme.(想象一下你正在写诗,在开始新的一行之前,必须先搭配好押韵词。事实证明,人工智能也会做类似的事情!当大型语言模型(LLM)克劳德(Claude)得到第一行文字“he saw a carrot and had to grab it”(他看到一根胡萝卜,不得不抓住它)时,它几乎立刻就开始思考像“rabbit”(兔子)这样的词,并写出下一个句子,使其结尾有合适的押韵词。)”可知,作者以AI写诗提前思考押韵词为例,是为了说明AI能提前规划句子。故选B项。
2. A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits.(这个被称为“数字显微镜”的工具,能让科学家观察到人工智能在处理不同任务时,其神经网络的哪些部分会被激活。如果大型语言模型(LLM)的某个特定区域在生成“rabbit”(兔子)这类词时总会被激活,那么该区域就会被标记为与“兔子”相关。)”可知,“数字显微镜”通过追踪AI的思维活动(神经网络激活情况)发挥作用。故选A项。
3. A推理判断题。根据第五段中的“When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong.(当要求克劳德(Claude)进行推理,输出其思考过程来解答数学问题时,“数字显微镜”显示,该模型声称得出结论的方式与其实际思考过程可能并不总是一致的。更糟糕的是,若提出一个诱导性问题——暗示答案“可能是4”,即便这个暗示是错误的,它也会特意添加数字,最终得出与该问题暗示一致的结论。)”可知,Claude可能会编造思考过程或结果来迎合错误暗示,即“可能会编造内容”。故选A项。
4.C主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第三段中的“The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks.(这个被称为“数字显微镜”的工具,能让科学家观察到人工智能在处理不同任务时,其神经网络的哪些部分会被激活。)”以及最后一段中的“But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future.(但能够深入了解大型语言模型(LLM)的“思维”,为未来找到阻止它出现类似问题的方法提供了线索。)”可知,文章围绕通过“数字显微镜”探究AI的“思维”展开,“探究AI的内心(思维)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。
Passage 3
(2025-2026学年高三上·重庆·阶段练习)The use of technology in sports is supposed to be able to provide accurate and instant feedback, with better decision-making and fewer errors than human intervention. 1
The annual tennis tournament, Wimbledon, made the decision this year to replace their line judges. They were switched out for AI that analyses camera footage, which should be faster and more accurate. Nevertheless, the electronic line calling system failed just a week into the 2025 championship. 2 This meant a point had to be replayed, which resulted in Sonay Kartal controversially winning the game. If technology needs humans to operate it in the first place, whose fault is it in situations like these where things go wrong?
In football, VAR (video assistant referee) is also regularly used these days. A referee can ask for a VAR check, which means that if they are unsure of a decision, they can double-check their own judgement. However, last football season, VAR made oversights which angered a lot of managers, players and fans. 3 Despite this, before VAR, 82% of the decisions made were considered correct; now that figure is 96%.
4 Professor Gina Neff from Cambridge University says that we have a very strong, in-built sense of fairness. “The machine makes decisions based on the set of rules it’s been programmed to apply,” she said. “Right now, in many areas where AI is touching our lives, we feel like humans understand the context much better than the machine.”

A.But is that always the case?
B.Patience is needed as the system matures.
C.They said the system was not fit for purpose.
D.Then who should carry the blame when mistakes happen?
E.The ball-tracking technology was turned off by a person accidentally.
F.So, why do we still not trust technology if it often improves a situation?
G.Whether you trust it or not, technology is here to stay, including in sports.
【答案】1.A 2.E 3.C 4.F 5.G
【语篇导读】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕科技在体育领域的应用展开,主要介绍了科技的弊端,讨论科技出错时的责任归属问题。
1.上文“The use of technology in sports is supposed to be able to provide accurate and instant feedback, with better decision-making and fewer errors than human intervention. (体育领域对科技的运用本应能提供精准且即时的反馈,相比人工干预,决策更优、失误更少。)”提出科技在体育中应更优的观点,而下文介绍了温网AI司线系统故障、以及足球VAR技术的弊端。因此A项“但是情况总是如此吗?”符合语境,引出下文。故选A。
2.上文“Nevertheless, the electronic line calling system failed just a week into the 2025 championship. (然而,在 2025 年锦标赛开赛仅一周后,电子司线系统就出现了故障。)”提及系统故障,由此推测,空出需补充故障的具体原因。E项”球追踪技术被一个人意外关闭了。”承接上文。故选E。
3.上文“However, last football season, VAR made oversights which angered a lot of managers, players and fans. (然而,上个足球赛季,VAR的疏忽激怒了很多教练、球员和球迷。)”指出上个赛季VAR失误引发不满,由此可知,这个系统没有达到预期目的。空处需补充人们对VAR系统的负面评价,以完整呈现VAR的争议性。C项“他们表示该系统不符合使用需求。”符合语境。故选C。
4.下文“Professor Gina Neff from Cambridge University says that we have a very strong, in-built sense of fairness. “The machine makes decisions based on the set of rules it’s been programmed to apply,” she said. (剑桥大学的Gina Neff教授表示,人类天生就拥有强烈的公平感。“机器做出决策,依据的是为其编程设定的那套规则,” 她说道。)”陈述了人们不相信科技的原因。由此推测,空处可能提出“人们为什么不相信科技”这个疑问。F项“既然科技往往能改善现状,那我们为什么仍然不信任它呢?”符合推测,引出下文内容。故选F。
5.空处位于文末,应是总结性语句。上文“Right now, in many areas where AI is touching our lives, we feel like humans understand the context much better than the machine. (目前,在AI触及我们生活的诸多领域,我们认为人类比机器更能理解背景语境。)”提及人类对科技的认知优势,需在结尾给出对科技在体育领域未来的客观判断。G项“无论你是否信任,科技都将持续存在,体育领域也不例外。”符合语境,客观指出科技在体育领域的必然性。故选G。
Passage 4
(2025-2026学年高三上·山东·阶段练习)In cities across the globe, up to a quarter of office buildings are unoccupied, along with other urban properties, from storage to abandoned skyscrapers. To put this space to use, many cities are transforming empty buildings for other uses. 1
Just as the name suggests, vertical (垂直的) farming is the practice of growing crops in layers as opposed to traditional horizontal rows. These layers are often placed in spaces unfit for farming, but now we can grow crops there due to advanced agricultural methods. 2 However, thanks to technology, artificial light, and controlled temperatures and humidity, office spaces have proved to be great environments for farming.
3 It dates back to over 2,000 years ago with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Modern vertical farming simply began as an experiment in 1999, focused on growing food on the rooftops of Manhattan. Their work eventually transformed into using high-rise buildings as vertical farms to feed thousands of people in a sustainable manner. Vertical farming is now a $6 billion industry.
The main benefit of vertical farming is that it maximizes the yield of crops by efficiently using space. 4 It is made possible by their controlled environments and soilless agriculture methods like hydroponics (水培法). Hydroponics allows plants to grow in a water-based solution rather than soil, saving water. In fact, hydroponic systems only require 10% of the water of a traditional field.
Despite being untraditional, vertical farms produce over 50 types of plants, ranging from leafy greens and herbs to experimental fruits and more! 5 The reason lies in that they are capable of growing a variety of produce at all times and providing people with local fresh foods at affordable prices.
A.Vertical farming has a rich history.
B.One solution is indoor vertical farming.
C.The practice isn’t as simple as it sounds.
D.Most vertical farms can grow all year round.
E.That said, vertical farming will replace traditional agriculture soon.
F.Despite the benefits, the method also comes with considerable downsides.
G.This diversity and consistent output help address a critical urban issue: food deserts.

Passage 8
(2025-2026学年高三上·辽宁·开学考试)
Fred was a pioneer in integrating technology into education. As a high school English teacher with a bachelor’s degree in software engineering, he had spent years developing an AI system that could analyze students’ writings with remarkable accuracy. The essays were scanned (扫描) into the system, which then generated detailed reports on grammar, vocabulary, and structure. The AI’s feedback (反馈) was so precise that even seasoned teachers were impressed.
At first, Fred’s students welcomed the efficiency. “This is amazing!” screamed Lily. “I get instant feedback and can revise my work right away.” The system also freed Fred from hours of boring grading, allowing him to focus on lesson planning. However, after a few months, the enthusiasm began to decline. One day, during a writing workshop, Mia raised her hand. “Mr. Fred, the AI tells me my essay is technically perfect, but it feels…lifeless. Like it’s missing something.” Others nodded in agreement. “It doesn’t understand the emotions in my story,” added Carlos. “It just points out my spelling mistakes, ignoring my beautiful handwriting.”
Fred dismissed their concerns at first, believing that technical proficiency (熟练) was the foundation of good writing. But as the complaints continued, he began to doubt. One evening, he reviewed a particularly sincere essay by Sophie about her grandmother’s passing. The AI had marked it with an 85% score, noting minor grammatical errors. Yet Fred felt deeply moved as he read the raw emotion in Sophie’s words. The AI had completely missed the essay’s emotional depth.
That night, Fred sat at his desk, staring at the AI-generated reports. He realized that while the system did well in mechanics, it lacked the human touch that made writing meaningful. “What’s the point of teaching literature if we’re reducing it to cold codes?” he thought to himself. Determined to find a solution, he spent weeks researching flexible ways, integrating AI’s precision with human insight.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Fred decided to add his own comments to each essay. He spent hours reading every piece, noting the technical aspects and the emotional clues and unique thoughts each student brought. For instance, he wrote, “Your words about your grandmother’s laughter made me tear up — AI can’t measure the heart behind such beautiful memories.” Fred also praised the elegance of students’ handwriting. Slowly, students noticed the differences. The previously cold feedback is now paired with heartfelt notes, bridging the gap between technology and humanity.
Students started submitting essays with more vivid plots. Mia’s work was an example, where she employed easy comparisons. When Mr. Fred said her line about loneliness being a “gray cloud” was like a poem, she felt delighted. Mr. Fred adjusted the AI too. Now the reports also praised shining points of the stories. One day, a boy held up his paper. “See? Mr. Fred said my funny conversations made him laugh!” These showed that the joint efforts of computers and teachers can make writing full of life.

美国企业家比尔•盖茨说过: 技术的进步是基于让它融入你的生活,这样你甚至不会真正注意到它,如此一来它就成为了日常生活的一部分。说明技术会深入千家万户,成为人们生活中不可或缺的一部分。
DeepMind, an AI innovator under Google, has made remarkable progress in materials science. The materials cookbook has suddenly grown much larger. Modern technologies like smartphones and planes rely on just 20,000 inorganic materials, mostly discovered through trial and error. Scientists have predicted but not made tens of thousands more.
This week, researchers reported a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool. With this AI, called GNoME, they predicted the properties of another 2.2 million materials. In a companion study, a separate team has shown that such predicted materials can be made efficiently with the help of AI.
For their current work, DeepMind researchers used data on 48,000 known and predicted materials from the company's database and other related ones. They trained an "active learning" AI model. After several rounds, GNoME wound up with predictions for the 2.2 million new materials.
The predictions, published in Nature, are another achievement for DeepMind. Last month, they described an AI that could predict the weather as accurately as large supercomputer-driven models. Now, this new work in materials science is like the AlphaFold equivalent for materials science. AlphaFold is an AI that's able to predict the 3D shape of hundreds of millions of proteins from their amino acid sequence alone.
Researchers say the revolution in materials science is coming, with AI programs and robots powering the search for novel materials in electronics, batteries, and solar cells. It's very impressive, says Andrew Rosen, a computational materials chemist at Imperial College London.
语篇翻译
谷歌旗下的人工智能创新企业DeepMind在材料科学领域取得了显著进展。材料“食谱”一下子丰富了许多。像智能手机和平板电脑等现代科技产品仅依赖约2万种无机材料,且这些材料大多是通过反复试验发现的。科学家们已经预测出还有成千上万种材料的存在,但尚未成功研制出来。
本周,研究人员公布了一种新的人工智能(AI)工具。借助这款名为GNoME的人工智能,他们预测出了另外220万种材料的特性。在另一项相关研究中,另一个团队表明,在人工智能的帮助下,这些预测出的材料能够被高效地制造出来。
在当前的研究中,DeepMind的研究人员利用了该公司数据库以及其他相关数据库中4.8万种已知和预测材料的数据。他们训练了一个“主动学习”人工智能模型。经过几轮训练后,GNoME最终预测出了220万种新材料。
这些预测成果发表在《自然》杂志上,这是DeepMind取得的又一项成就。上个月,他们介绍了一种人工智能,它能像大型超级计算机驱动的模型一样准确地预测天气。如今,这项材料科学领域的新成果就如同材料科学领域的AlphaFold。AlphaFold是一种仅根据氨基酸序列就能预测数亿种蛋白质三维结构的人工智能。
研究人员表示,材料科学领域的变革即将到来,人工智能程序和机器人将助力在电子、电池和太阳能电池等领域寻找新型材料。伦敦帝国理工学院的计算材料化学家安德鲁·罗森表示,这非常了不起。

Passage 1
(2025年新课标I卷,C)While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian(行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there's too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet are bothered by facts like these. In their new book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades ago. Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere. Some communities fought back. Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor(市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through.” Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.
Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly. In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty - six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can't move safely around our communities? The authors of Movement have it right: it's time to think differently about that street outside your front door.
28.What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. Cars often get stuck on the road. B. Traffic accidents occur frequently.
C. People walk less and drive more. D. Pedestrians fail to follow the rules.
29. What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do?
A. Keep their cities livable. B. Promote cultural diversity.
C. Help the needy families. D. Make expressways accessible.
30. What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s?
A. They boosted the sales of cars. B. They turned out largely ineffective.
C. They won government support. D. They advocated building new parks.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why the Rush? B. What's Next? C. Where to Stay? D. Who to Blame?

Passage 2
(2025年1月浙江, D)As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping(形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism(拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
32. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand.
C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition.
33. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey.
C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test.
34. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task.
C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product.
C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women.

Passage 1
(2025-2026学年山东省泰安肥城市高三上学期开学学情诊断)Microscopic pieces of plastic are everywhere. Now, they’ve been found in bottled water in concentrations 10 to 100 times more than previously estimated. Researchers found roughly 240,000 detectable plastic particles (微粒) in a typical liter of bottled water.
About 10% of the detected plastic particles were microplastics, and the other 90% were nanoplastics. Microplastics are between 5 millimeters and 1 micrometer; nanoplastics are particles less than 1 micrometer in size. For context, a human hair is about 70 micrometers thick. Microplastics have already been found in people’s lungs and blood.
Nanoplastics could be even more dangerous than microplastics because when inside the human body, “the smaller it goes, the easier for it to be misidentified as the natural component of the cell,” says Wei Min, a professor of chemistry at Columbia University.
The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) said in a statement that it has had “very limited notice and time” to review the study. But the group said the new detection method “needs to be fully reviewed by the scientific community and more research needs to be done to develop standardized methods for measuring and quantifying nanoplastics in our environment.” The association said there is “no scientific agreement on the potential health impacts of nano- and microplastic particles.”
The particles they could identify accounted for only 10% of total particles they found — the rest could be minerals, other types of plastics, or something else, says Beizhan Yan, a research professor and co-author on the study. They hope the research will lead to a better understanding of how much plastic humans are regularly putting into their bodies and its effects.
Yan says they plan future research employing the same technology to look at plastic particles in tap water, in the air, in food and in human tissues. “This is basically just to open a new window for us to see what was this invisible world before.”
1. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning human hair in paragraph 2?
A. To show the harm of plastic particles.
B. To prove plastic particles are everywhere.
C. To stress the source of plastic particles.
D. To illustrate the size of plastic particles.
2. Why are nanoplastics more dangerous than microplastics?
A. They are more difficult to remove.
B. They are more poisonous to humans.
C. They are more likely to pass as harmless.
D. They are more changeable than microplastics.
3. What is IBWA’s attitude to the study?
A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
4. What is Beizhan Yan’s future research plan?
A. To find ways to reduce plastic particles.
B. To remove plastic particles from bottled water.
C. To prove that plastic particles are not harmful.
D. To study plastic particles in different substances.
Passage 2
(2025~2026学年福州市高三年级第一次质量检测)
Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme.
Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity.
The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits.
This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought.
Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong.
But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking.
1. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1?
A. AI can write texts as programmed. B. AI can plan sentences in advance.
C. AI can deal with complex tasks. D. AI can simplify rhyming lines.
2. How does “digital microscope” function in the research?
A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs.
C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns.
3. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude?
A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought.
C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning.
4. Which of the following titles best suits this text?
A. Why AI Still Gets It Wrong B. Chatbots’ Language Magic
C. Looking Inside AI’s Mind D. The Rise of AI Chatbots
Passage 3
(2025-2026学年高三上·重庆·阶段练习)The use of technology in sports is supposed to be able to provide accurate and instant feedback, with better decision-making and fewer errors than human intervention. 1
The annual tennis tournament, Wimbledon, made the decision this year to replace their line judges. They were switched out for AI that analyses camera footage, which should be faster and more accurate. Nevertheless, the electronic line calling system failed just a week into the 2025 championship. 2 This meant a point had to be replayed, which resulted in Sonay Kartal controversially winning the game. If technology needs humans to operate it in the first place, whose fault is it in situations like these where things go wrong?
In football, VAR (video assistant referee) is also regularly used these days. A referee can ask for a VAR check, which means that if they are unsure of a decision, they can double-check their own judgement. However, last football season, VAR made oversights which angered a lot of managers, players and fans. 3 Despite this, before VAR, 82% of the decisions made were considered correct; now that figure is 96%.
4 Professor Gina Neff from Cambridge University says that we have a very strong, in-built sense of fairness. “The machine makes decisions based on the set of rules it’s been programmed to apply,” she said. “Right now, in many areas where AI is touching our lives, we feel like humans understand the context much better than the machine.”
5
A.But is that always the case?
B.Patience is needed as the system matures.
C.They said the system was not fit for purpose.
D.Then who should carry the blame when mistakes happen?
E.The ball-tracking technology was turned off by a person accidentally.
F.So, why do we still not trust technology if it often improves a situation?
G.Whether you trust it or not, technology is here to stay, including in sports.
Passage 4
(2025-2026学年高三上·山东·阶段练习)In cities across the globe, up to a quarter of office buildings are unoccupied, along with other urban properties, from storage to abandoned skyscrapers. To put this space to use, many cities are transforming empty buildings for other uses. 1
Just as the name suggests, vertical (垂直的) farming is the practice of growing crops in layers as opposed to traditional horizontal rows. These layers are often placed in spaces unfit for farming, but now we can grow crops there due to advanced agricultural methods. 2 However, thanks to technology, artificial light, and controlled temperatures and humidity, office spaces have proved to be great environments for farming.
3 It dates back to over 2,000 years ago with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Modern vertical farming simply began as an experiment in 1999, focused on growing food on the rooftops of Manhattan. Their work eventually transformed into using high-rise buildings as vertical farms to feed thousands of people in a sustainable manner. Vertical farming is now a $6 billion industry.
The main benefit of vertical farming is that it maximizes the yield of crops by efficiently using space. 4 It is made possible by their controlled environments and soilless agriculture methods like hydroponics (水培法). Hydroponics allows plants to grow in a water-based solution rather than soil, saving water. In fact, hydroponic systems only require 10% of the water of a traditional field.
Despite being untraditional, vertical farms produce over 50 types of plants, ranging from leafy greens and herbs to experimental fruits and more! 5 The reason lies in that they are capable of growing a variety of produce at all times and providing people with local fresh foods at affordable prices.
A.Vertical farming has a rich history.
B.One solution is indoor vertical farming.
C.The practice isn’t as simple as it sounds.
D.Most vertical farms can grow all year round.
E.That said, vertical farming will replace traditional agriculture soon.
F.Despite the benefits, the method also comes with considerable downsides.
G.This diversity and consistent output help address a critical urban issue: food deserts.

Passage 8
(2025-2026学年高三上·辽宁·开学考试)
Fred was a pioneer in integrating technology into education. As a high school English teacher with a bachelor’s degree in software engineering, he had spent years developing an AI system that could analyze students’ writings with remarkable accuracy. The essays were scanned (扫描) into the system, which then generated detailed reports on grammar, vocabulary, and structure. The AI’s feedback (反馈) was so precise that even seasoned teachers were impressed.
At first, Fred’s students welcomed the efficiency. “This is amazing!” screamed Lily. “I get instant feedback and can revise my work right away.” The system also freed Fred from hours of boring grading, allowing him to focus on lesson planning. However, after a few months, the enthusiasm began to decline. One day, during a writing workshop, Mia raised her hand. “Mr. Fred, the AI tells me my essay is technically perfect, but it feels…lifeless. Like it’s missing something.” Others nodded in agreement. “It doesn’t understand the emotions in my story,” added Carlos. “It just points out my spelling mistakes, ignoring my beautiful handwriting.”
Fred dismissed their concerns at first, believing that technical proficiency (熟练) was the foundation of good writing. But as the complaints continued, he began to doubt. One evening, he reviewed a particularly sincere essay by Sophie about her grandmother’s passing. The AI had marked it with an 85% score, noting minor grammatical errors. Yet Fred felt deeply moved as he read the raw emotion in Sophie’s words. The AI had completely missed the essay’s emotional depth.
That night, Fred sat at his desk, staring at the AI-generated reports. He realized that while the system did well in mechanics, it lacked the human touch that made writing meaningful. “What’s the point of teaching literature if we’re reducing it to cold codes?” he thought to himself. Determined to find a solution, he spent weeks researching flexible ways, integrating AI’s precision with human insight.
