Ⅲ.语篇词汇串记
In the current era,what people do hurts not only themselves but also animals,such as camels,cattle,apes and goats.In comparison with widespread traditional offline medical care,remote medical care is more crucial, which can break the barriers of time and space,and provide the best doctors and the accurate treatment for patients.But some illegal organizations, wholly ignoring the ethical principles,are buried in editing some false advertisements artificially and abusing network,providing some false clues for patients.It is bound to lead to permanent hurt to patients,which will provoke angry emotions and must be forbidden forever.
To make matters worse,it is estimated that some rare animals are disappearing.There are many factors for their disappearance,and they can be roughly classified into two categories,partly because they have no capability to adapt to the environment, and partly because of human activities,which pose a threat to their habitats.It is depressing that some people kill animals because they attribute the outbreak of some diseases to the viruses these animals carry.Fortunately,most people are opposed to this practice and call for efforts to develop thorough and systematic measures to protect animals on the globe.
[遮住左栏,忆加黑词汇]
在当今时代,人们的所作所为不仅伤害了自己,也伤害了动物,比如骆驼、牛、猿和山羊。与普遍的传统的线下医疗相比,远程医疗更为关键,它可以打破时间和空间的障碍,为患者提供最好的医生和准确的治疗。但一些不法组织完全无视道德原则,忙于人为编辑一些虚假广告,滥用网络,为患者提供了一些虚假线索。这势必会给病人带来永久性的伤害,会激起愤怒的情绪,必须永远禁止。
更糟糕的是,据估计一些珍稀动物正在消失。它们消失的原因有很多,大致可以分为两类,一部分原因是它们没有适应环境的能力,另一部分原因是人类活动对它们的栖息地构成了威胁。令人沮丧的是,有些人杀死动物,因为他们把一些疾病的爆发归咎于这些动物携带的病毒。幸运的是,大多数人都反对这种做法,并呼吁努力制定彻底且系统的措施来保护全球的动物。

A
(2025·豫西北教研联盟第一次质量检测)Are you dreaming of conquering Mount Kilimanjaro, but not sure which route to take? Here's an overview of four Kilimanjaro routes for you.
Marangu Route
The Marangu Route, also known as the “CocaCola Route”,is distinguished by its cottage accommodations and is a popular choice for climbers aiming to reach the top of Kilimanjaro.
Providing a more comfortable option compared to camping, these simple cottages offer basic facilities and can be a welcoming sight after a day of challenging hiking.
Machame Route
The Machame Route, often referred to as the “Whiskey Route”,is famous for its splendid landscapes and challenging summit (顶峰) night that tests climbers' determination and tolerance.
The night before the summit push is a laborious test,characterized by sharp, rocky terrain(地形)and freezing temperatures, where climbers rely on their mental strength and physical preparedness to overcome the final barriers to Uhuru Peak.
Lemosho Route
The Lemosho Route offers breathtaking scenic views and owns one of the highest summit success rates among the Kilimanjaro routes, making it a favorite among climbers.
What sets the Lemosho Route apart is its gradual ascent (上升) profile, allowing climbers to accustom themselves effectively and increase their chances of reaching the summit successfully.
Rongai Route
The Rongai Route provides a quiet hiking experience, allowing climbers to adapt gradually while impressing themselves with the untouched wilderness of Kilimanjaro's northern slopes.
Adaptation becomes more manageable due to the route's gentle ascent, allowing climbers to adjust to the increasing height comfortably.The unique advantage of this path is its relatively lower traffic, providing a peaceful experience in harmony with nature's rhythms.
[语篇解读]本文是应用文。文章介绍了乞力马扎罗山的四条登山路线。
1.What makes Marangu Route special?
A.The accommodations.
B.The free CocaCola.
C.The camping sight.
D.The challenging hiking.
A [细节理解题。根据Marangu Route部分的“The Marangu Route...is a popular choice for climbers aiming to reach the top of Kilimanjaro”可知,Marangu路线以其小屋住宿而闻名,是旨在到达乞力马扎罗山山顶的登山者的热门选择。故选A项。]
2.What is most required when you choose Machame Route?
A.Climbing equipment.
B.Help of Whiskey.
C.Teamwork of climbers.
D.Strong willpower.
D [推理判断题。根据题干将答案定位至Machame Route部分。根据“The night before the summit push is a laborious test...overcome the final barriers to Uhuru Peak”可知,登顶前一晚是一个艰苦的考验,其特征是陡峭的岩石地形和低温,登山者要依靠他们的精神力量和身体准备来克服通往Uhuru Peak的最后障碍。由此可推知,选择Machame 路线需要坚强的意志力。故选D项。]
3.What do the last two routes have in common?
A.They have low traffic.
B.They offer vast wilderness.
C.They are easier to adapt to.
D.They are planned for the old.
C [细节理解题。根据Lemosho Route部分的“What sets the Lemosho Route apart is...increase their chances of reaching the summit successfully”可知,Lemosho路线的独特之处在于它的渐进式上升,使登山者能够有效地适应并增加他们成功登顶的机会。根据Rongai Route部分的“Adaptation becomes...adjust to the increasing height comfortably”可知,Rongai路线上升平缓,使登山者能够舒适地适应不断增加的高度。由此可知,这两条路线都更容易适应。故选C项。]

(2025·南充市高考适应性考试)We've all been there: lying in bed wide awake and desperately wondering how to get to dreamland.While having trouble drifting off to sleep isn't unusual, it still can be frustrating.Fortunately sleep experts are gaining an increasingly strong understanding of what's happening in the brain during the process.
Falling asleep is a big shift for your brain.This switch is governed in part by environmental cues, such as light or temperature.A hot summer night or a bright streetlamp beside the window can interfere(干扰).The process of nodding off can also be affected by your emotions.
“You need to feel both physically and psychologically safe to sleep,”says Roxanne Prichard, a neuroscientist at the University of St.Thomas, Minnesota.“If you are sleeping next to someone you don't trust, if you're worried that the newborn that you're caring for might stop breathing, it's going to be hard to fall asleep.”
One of the recommendations to address insomnia (失眠症) is getting out of bed and sitting somewhere quietly with dull light and just relaxing, doing something boring.You could use the time to read, listen to calming music, or do breathing exercises—anything that slows and comforts your body and mind.But avoid snacking, exercise and screens.
It's also important to resist the urge to concentrate on your worries, especially in the middle of the night.Not only will those thoughts keep you awake, you also probably won't make much progress on what's keeping you up because your prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质),a part of the brain that is good at planning and analysis, doesn't function well for the poor blood supply at night.
Keep it in mind that even if your night's rest is incomplete, avoid the urge to make up for it by sleeping in or napping the next day.“If you nap during the day, especially longer naps, then your brain gets few signals of sleep and will be less likely to fall asleep quickly at bedtime,”says Prichard.If losing sleep interferes with your ability to function during the day, which could indicate something physiological is at play, seeing a doctor would be necessary.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。本文主要介绍了影响睡眠的因素以及改善睡眠的建议。
4.Which of the following is most likely to cause trouble in sleep?
A.A slow soft tune.
B.A dull streetlamp.
C.A cool summer night.
D.A twodayold baby.
D [推理判断题。第三段提到“if you're worried that the newborn that you're caring for might stop breathing, it's going to be hard to fall asleep”,即如果你担心你照顾的新生儿可能会停止呼吸,那么入睡将会很困难,由此可推知,身边有一个两天大的婴儿最可能导致睡眠问题。故选D。文章第二段提到环境因素和个人情绪都会影响睡眠,根据其中的第三句可以排除B、C两项。第四段提到处理失眠的方法,其中包括听令人平静的音乐,排除A项。]
5.Why is it hard to make much progress on the concerns in the middle of the night?
A.The resistance may make people worried.
B.The brain can't plan and analyze problems.
C.The prefrontal cortex works less efficiently.
D.The problems may keep people awake.
C [细节理解题。根据第五段中的“you also probably won't make much progress...doesn't function well for the poor blood supply at night”可知,在让你夜不能寐的问题上,你很可能也无法取得太多进展,因为你的前额叶皮质在夜间血液供应不足时无法很好地运行,它是大脑中的一个擅长规划和分析的部位,故选C。选项中的“works less efficiently”是对文中的“doesn't function well”的同义转换。]
6.What's Prichard's attitude towards naps in the day for night's incomplete rest?
A.Opposed. B.Ambiguous.
C.Supportive. D.Neutral.
A [观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“‘If you nap during the day...will be less likely to fall asleep quickly at bedtime,’ says Prichard”可知,Prichard认为,如果你在白天打盹,特别是长时间的打盹,你的大脑得到的睡眠信号就会很少,该睡觉时就更不可能迅速入睡,即白天打盹可能造成晚上入睡困难。由此可判断,Prichard 对于因夜晚休息不好而在白天打盹是不支持的态度。故选A。]
7.What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A.To highlight the negative effects of sleep loss.
B.To illustrate the process of falling asleep in the brain.
C.To explain the causes of poor sleep and offer solutions.
D.To discuss the importance of a good sleep environment.
C [写作意图题。文章主要介绍了影响睡眠的因素以及处理失眠的建议。因此,文章的目的是“解释睡眠不佳的原因并提供解决方案”,故选C。A项“强调睡眠不足的负面影响”;B项“说明大脑的入睡过程”;D项“讨论良好睡眠环境的重要性”。]
C
(2025·南京市学情调研)Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming.Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts (闪电).Here's what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.
A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for a lightning bolt to course through your body.Lightning strikes may leave you with deep wounds, often accompanied with thirddegree burns.Your clothes might even be torn by the explosive force of the surrounding air being superheated to up to 27, 700 ℃.Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin.This is a pattern of scars(伤疤)that branches out across your body like a tree.
But it doesn't end there.You might also be faced with a lifetime of neurological(神经系统的)conditions for reasons that scientists still don't fully understand.It's also possible that you will suffer pain.
In some cases, however, a lightning strike can lead to strange super talents.In a blog post, University of Miami neuroscientist Berit Brogaard writes about an incident where a surgeon who was struck by lightning developed an urge to learn to play the piano.He began to compose music he had started hearing in his head since the strike.This type of phenomenon confuses scientists.
One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a onetime flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元).This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.
Cool as it would be, you shouldn't count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash.Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。人一生中被闪电击中的可能性大约是1/12 000,被闪电击中可能对人体产生重大影响,不仅仅是身体伤害,还可能是终身的神经系统疾病。此处,被闪电击中后也有可能获得以往没有的超能力。
8.What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A.1 in 12, 000 may die from lightning bolts.
B.Lightning attacks can heat bodies to 27, 700℃.
C.Branching scars are typical after lightning attacks.
D.Humans are the most likely target for lightning bolts.
C [细节理解题。根据第二段的“Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure...branches out across your body like a tree”可知,血管在电击和高温下爆裂,通常会在皮肤上形成一种叫做利希腾贝格图的东西。这是一种伤疤的图案,像树一样在身体上伸展开来。由此可知,分支形伤疤是闪电击中后的典型特征,故选C。]
9.What happened to the surgeon after the strike?
A.His unexplored brain areas were activated.
B.His brain was left in a fixed state of death.
C.He suffered a lifetime of neurological pain.
D.He recalled hidden memories about music.
A [推理判断题。第四段提到一位被闪电击中的外科医生产生了学习弹钢琴的冲动,开始创作自从被击中以来他脑海中一直听到的音乐。第五段解释了被闪电击中导致的细胞死亡可能会导致大脑中一次性充斥着神经递质,这些神经递质是从死亡的神经元中释放出来的。这会导致神经元的重新布线,为以前无法进入的大脑区域提供通道。由此可推知,被闪电击中后,这位外科医生以往未被开发的大脑区域被激活了。故选A。B项“他的大脑处于一种固定的死亡状态”;C项“他一生遭受着神经系统上的疼痛”;D项“他回忆起关于音乐的隐藏记忆”。]
10.What does the underlined word “This”refer to in Paragraph 5?
A.The cell death due to lightning strikes.
B.The flooding of brain's neurotransmitters.
C.The rewiring of brain neurons.
D.The release of dying neurons.
B [词句猜测题。根据语境可知,此处“This”指代上文提到的名词短语“a onetime flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质)”,即大脑神经递质的泛滥。故选B。]
11.What is the text mainly about?
A.The process of lightning formation.
B.The chances of surviving a lightning strike.
C.The possibility of lightning making a genius.
D.The consequences of being struck by lightning.
D [主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了被闪电击中的后果,故选D。A项“闪电形成的过程”;B项“在雷击中幸存的机会”;C项“闪电造就天才的可能性”。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题,每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
(2025·安徽合肥适应性联考)Stanford researchers have found that students from middle school to college are struggling to assess the credibility of the online articles.Here are a few practices recommended by the researchers.
1( ).Established news organizations usually have standard addresses that you are probably familiar with.So addresses with such strange endings like www.xxcom.com should put you on your guard.2( ).This is necessary even when the pages on the websites look familiar and professional.
Look at the quotes in a story.Or rather, look at the lack of quotes.Most reliable publications quote multiple sources who are professionals in the fields they talk about.3( ).
Search for the images in the story.Pictures should be accurate in illustrating what the story is about.However, this often doesn't happen.If people who write the news story don't even leave their homes or interview anyone for the story, it's unlikely that they take their own pictures.4( ).You can do this by rightclicking on the images and choosing to search for them.If the pictures appear in a lot of stories about many different topics, there's a good chance that the story is unreliable.
Stop the spreading of misinformation.If you see your friends sharing obviously unreliable information, kindly tell them it's not real.5( ).Everyone should help fix the misinformation problem.
A.Check your articles
B.Pay attention to the spelling of the website address

[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了几个辨别网络文章可靠性的方法。
1.B [根据空后“Established news organizations usually have standard addresses that you are probably familiar with.So addresses with...”及其他细节可知,这一段主要是建议读者留意网址拼写是否合规,故B项“注意网站地址的拼写”适合作主题句。故选B。]
2.C [上文提到了奇怪结尾的网址,后文提到了某种做法是必要的,可知本句是在说明具体做法。故C项“你还得深入研究一下这些网站是否值得信赖”符合语境。故选C。]
3.F [本段主要建议通过引用来判断,F选项中sources对应上文sources。故F项“如果文章讨论的问题很重要,文章会引用更多、更可靠的信息来源”符合语境。故选F。]
4.E [本段主要建议搜索图片,且后文提到了搜索方法,E选项中search for the photos对应search for them。故E项“做一点侦查工作,在搜索引擎上搜索这些照片”符合语境。故选E。]
5.G [上文谈到发现朋友传播明显不可靠的信息时要及时阻止,空后“Everyone should help fix the misinformation problem.”则说我们每个人都有义务阻止不可靠信息的传播。故G项“尽管这种谈话会让人不痛快,我们也得提醒”正好起到了过渡作用。故选G。]

Ⅰ.阅读理解(共4小题,每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2025·杭州市高三质量检测)For many, travel isn't just about the destination—it's about making the most of the journey.However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting, known as motion sickness.If you've ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you're not alone.Recognizing this common issue, a company has stepped up to offer a revolutionary solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnection between what your eyes see and what your body feels.When you're in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn't reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals.This sensory conflict can lead to dizziness, nausea, and overall discomfort—symptoms all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
The new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness.This revolutionary feature works by displaying animated dots, around the edges of your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle.These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in line with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness.
The magic lies in the simplicity and effectiveness.The animated dots move in consistency with the vehicle's motion, providing a visual representation of the movement your body is experiencing.By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness.So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that the company has got your back—or rather, your brain—helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.

Ⅲ.语法填空(共10个空,每空1.5分,共15分)
(2025·武汉市部分学校高三年级调研考试)The vocabulary of tea tasting can seem abstract to the point of poetry.When 1 (experience) tea lovers comment on a cup of tea, they might comment on its qi and yun.
In a 2021 paper, Zhang Jinghong notes that in Chinese culture, food and drink are not judged only by taste or smell.When 2 (cite) the ancient saying, “Medicine and food have the same origin”, she says that the impact of food and drink on the body 3 (remain) an important factor in how Chinese perceive taste and quality.Just to name one example, common food descriptors like “hot”and “cold”do not describe specific temperatures, 4 how a dish is perceived to affect a person's inner temperature.
Keeping that 5 mind, what exactly do tea lovers mean when they talk about qi and yun? Deng Shihai, an early expert on Pu'er tea, praised its “flavorless flavor”as the highest level Pu'er can attain.If that sounds needlessly contradictory, you're not alone, but to Deng, it was a way to distinguish beginners at tea, 6
focus on taste, from experts who see tea more 7 (whole).
Qi and yun are thought to be more advanced than any simple description of taste, in part because they imply an indescribable sense of connection between people and things, and even to the 8 (broad) natural world.As Zhang notes, “Qi and yun 9 (consider) to more accurately and thoroughly express what people feel when they are touched by things, and to better reflect the 10 (unit) of people and things, and people and nature.”
[语篇解读]本文是说明文,主要介绍了茶品鉴中的“气”和“韵”,以及它们在茶文化中的重要意义。
1.experienced [考查形容词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用形容词修饰名词短语tea lovers;再结合语境可知,此处表示有经验的茶爱好者,故填experienced“经验丰富的,有经验的”。句意:当有经验的茶爱好者评论一杯茶时,他们可能会评论它的气和韵。]
2.citing [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处考查非谓语动词短语作状语。cite“引用”,与逻辑主语she之间是主谓关系,故用现在分词形式,填citing。句意:当引用古语“药食同源”时,她说食物和饮料对身体的影响仍然是中国人感知味道和品质的一个重要因素。]
3.remains [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处作that引导的宾语从句的谓语。此处陈述客观事实,用一般现在时。主语the impact为单数概念,故谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。remain在此意为“仍然是”,是系动词,无被动形式。故填remains。]
4.but [考查连词。分析句子结构可知,此处考查并列连词;再结合句意可知,此处考查“not...but...”结构,表示“不是……而是……”,故填but。句意:举个例子,常见的食物描述词,如“热”和“凉”,并没有描述具体的温度,而是描述一道菜如何影响一个人的内心温度。]
5.in [考查介词。keep sth/sb in mind是固定搭配,意为“将……记在心中,记住,考虑到”。]
6.who [考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,从句缺少主语,先行词为表示人的beginners,故用关系代词who。句意:如果这听起来是不必要的矛盾,那么并不是你一个人这么认为,但对邓时海来说,这是一种将专注于味道的茶的初学者与更全面地看待茶的专家区分开来的方法。]
7.wholly [考查副词。此处修饰动词see,应用副词wholly。]
8.broader [考查形容词比较级。此处修饰空后的名词world,应用形容词。结合语境可知,此处表示“更广阔的自然世界”,故填形容词比较级broader。句意:气和韵被认为比任何简单的味觉描述都更高级,部分原因是它们暗示了人与物之间,甚至与更广阔的自然世界之间的难以形容的联系。]
9.are considered [考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作谓语。此处描述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语“Qi and yun”表示复数概念,且与consider之间是被动关系。故填are considered。句意:正如张景虹指出的,“气和韵被认为能更准确、更全面地表达人们被事物触动时的感受,更好地反映人与物、人与自然的统一。”]
10.unity [考查名词。根据空前的定冠词the和空后的of可知,空处应填名词,此处表示“人与物、人与自然的统一”,故填unity“一致,统一”。]
