Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — somehow manage to avoid the problem of stop-and-go traffic. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative strategies to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up. The free flow of traffic becomes unstable as the density of cars increases on a highway. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, one driver tapping their brakes can trigger a persistent wave of congestion (拥堵). “____47____” says Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist at the University of Tokyo, who studies these jamming transitions. Nishinari’s previous research had shown that foraging (觅食) ants can maintain their flow even at high densities. In a recent study published in Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives, researchers recorded Oche tell us ants on searching trails. ____48____ They found that the ants don’t jam at rush hour because they travel in groups of three to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another and they don’t speed up to pass others. ____49____ But self-driving cars, if they one day become widespread, could have more cooperative programming. In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share information with nearby cars to optimize traffic flow-perhaps, the researchers suggest, by prioritizing constant speeds and head ways or by not passing others on the road. This vehicle network would be similar to ants on a trail, which use scent to coordinate behavior while interacting with one another. “There is no leader but this organization emerges anyway,” says Noa Pinter-Wollman, a behavioral scientist currently studying ants at the University of California, Los Angeles. And in both ant and vehicle traffic, this type of distributed system can be“very, very strong and resilient”, Nishinari says. Today’s drivers can learn from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam, Nishinari says: “don’t tailgate (尾随).” By leaving room between their car and the one ahead, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in heavy traffic. ____50____ “Just keeping away,” he says, can help traffic flow smoothly. A. It’s a kind of phase transition, like water turning from liquid to solid. B. They then used traffic-engineering models to analyze how the ants moved. C. Drivers often follow ants’ behavior when the highway is busy. D. However, human drivers at rush hour are unlikely to follow such rules. E. Ants communicate through a centralized leader that directs the group. F. Without this space, the wave would grow into a full “fake” traffic jam. 【答案】47. A 48. B 49. D 50. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了研究人员通过研究蚂蚁的协作策略，探索解决自动驾驶汽车拥堵问题的方法。 【47题详解】 上文“The free flow of traffic becomes unstable as the density of cars increases on a highway. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, one driver tapping their brakes can trigger a persistent wave of congestion (拥堵). (随着高速公路上车流量密度增加，交通的顺畅流动会变得不稳定。当每车道每英里有15辆车时，一名司机踩刹车就能引发持续的拥堵波)”描述了交通拥堵的形成过程，下文是东京大学数学物理学家Katsuhiro Nishinari对这种拥堵转变的解读。A选项“这是一种相变，就像水从液态变成固态”承接上文的“拥堵波”，用类比解释了这种交通状态的转变，符合语境。故选A。 【48题详解】 上文“In a recent study published in Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives, researchers recorded Oche tell us ants on searching trails. (在《交通研究跨学科视角》上发表的一项近期研究中，研究人员记录了觅食蚂蚁的行进轨迹)”介绍了研究中“记录蚂蚁轨迹”的步骤，下文“They found that the ants don’t jam at rush hour (他们发现蚂蚁在高峰时段不会拥堵)”是研究发现。B选项“然后他们用交通工程模型分析蚂蚁的移动方式”衔接上文的“记录轨迹”和下文的“得出结论”，补充了研究的中间步骤，符合语境。故选B。 【49题详解】 下文“But self-driving cars, if they one day become widespread, could have more cooperative programming. (但如果自动驾驶汽车有朝一日普及，它们可以有协作性更强的程序设计)”通过but转折，引出自动驾驶汽车的优势。D选项“然而，高峰时段的人类司机不太可能遵守这样的规则”先说明人类司机的不足，与下文自动驾驶汽车的“协作性”形成对比，符合语境。故选D。 【50题详解】 上文“By leaving room between their car and the one ahead, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in heavy traffic. (通过在车与前车之间留出空间，司机可以在拥堵交通中缓冲刹车波)”强调留空间的作用，下文““Just keeping away,” he says, can help traffic flow smoothly. (他说：“保持距离”有助于交通顺畅)”进一步说明该做法的效果。F选项“没有这个空间，刹车波会演变成一场完全的“假性”拥堵)”从反面补充了“不留空间”的后果，呼应上文“留空间”的重要性，符合语境。故选F。 （二） （2025年虹口区一模） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Microplastics in the Wilderness Soft trail shoes (越野鞋) and hiking clothing “appear to be significant contributors to microplastics finding their way into these remote, otherwise extremely clean waters”, said Tim Keyes, a Sacred Heart University data scientist. Microplastics are tiny bits of plastic that are either intentionally added to consumer products or formed when larger plastics break down. The particles (微粒) may contain any of about 16,000 plastic chemicals, of which many present serious health risks. ____47____ In 2023, Keyes took samples from Lake Tear of the Clouds, about 1,300 meters high. It sees heavy hiker traffic because it is close to a trail. ____48____ Because the area only had hiker traffic, it was assumed that microplastic pollution was being brought to the area largely by environmental water, especially as rain or snow. ____49____ The researchers returned two years later in early 2025 to sample Lake Tear again and also another lake, Moss Pond, at a similar height but far from human activity. The lab found about 0.73 pieces per mL in Moss Pond and about 16.54 pieces in Lake Tear—a big difference suggesting that hiker traffic plays a major role. Trail shoes with soft soles (鞋底) can drop small plastic pieces just as car tires do, Keyes said. The authors say the findings are meant to generate awareness and underscore why industry should produce clothing and shoes that will shed fewer microplastics. ____50____ A. It’s a reasonable explanation that’s supported by the data. B. He sent the samples to an independent laboratory that found 9.45 particles per mL. C. To minimize their environmental impact,hikers are encouraged to avoid water-rich areas along the trail. D. Now they suspect they were wrong. E. Hikers should also consider wearing less-polluting shoes or clothing made with natural fibers F. They have been found throughout the human body and can cross the brain barriers. 【答案】47. F 48. A 49. D 50. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了微塑料危害大，凯斯团队研究发现，徒步者的软底越野鞋和服装是偏远水域微塑料污染主因，呼吁企业与徒步者采取对应减排措施。 【47题详解】 根据前文“The particles (微粒) may contain any of about 16,000 plastic chemicals, of which many present serious health risks.( 这些颗粒可能含有大约16000种塑料化学物质中的任何一种，其中许多具有严重的健康风险。)”提到微塑料可能含 16000 种塑料化学物质，其中许多存在严重健康风险，空格需承接“健康风险”展开。F项“They have been found throughout the human body and can cross the brain barriers.( 它们存在于人体的各个部位，并能穿过脑屏障。)”具体说明健康危害，与前文“serious health risks”形成逻辑衔接，符合“提出风险→解释风险”的行文逻辑。故选F项。 【48题详解】 根据上文“In 2023, Keyes took samples from Lake Tear of the Clouds, about 1,300 meters high. It sees heavy hiker traffic because it is close to a trail.( 2023 年，凯斯从海拔约 1300 米的云之泪湖采集了样本。该湖泊因靠近一条徒步路线，徒步客流量很大。)”提到凯斯在云之泪湖采集样本。以及下文“Because the area only had hiker traffic, it was assumed that microplastic pollution was being brought to the area largely by environmental water, especially as rain or snow.( 由于该地区只有徒步旅行的交通，人们认为微塑料污染主要是由环境水，特别是雨水或雪带来的。)”提到该区域只有徒步者活动，推测微塑料污染主要来自环境水。A项“It’s a reasonable explanation that’s supported by the data.( 这是一个有数据支持的合理解释。)”起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 【49题详解】 根据前文“Because the area only had hiker traffic, it was assumed that microplastic pollution was being brought to the area largely by environmental water, especially as rain or snow.( 由于该地区只有徒步旅行的交通，人们认为微塑料污染主要是由环境水，特别是雨水或雪带来的。)”推测微塑料污染来自环境水，后文“The researchers returned two years later in early 2025 to sample Lake Tear again and also another lake, Moss Pond, at a similar height but far from human activity. The lab found about 0.73 pieces per mL in Moss Pond and about 16.54 pieces in Lake Tear—a big difference suggesting that hiker traffic plays a major role. (两年后的 2025 年初，研究团队再次返回云之泪湖采集样本，同时还对另一个湖泊 —— 莫斯池塘进行了采样。该池塘海拔相近，但远离人类活动。实验室检测结果显示，莫斯池塘每毫升水中约含 0.73 个微塑料颗粒，而云之泪湖每毫升约含 16.54 个 —— 这一巨大差异表明，徒步客流量是主要影响因素。)”提到两年后再次采样，发现远离人类活动的莫斯池塘微塑料含量远低于云之泪湖，说明“徒步者活动是主要原因”，与前文推测矛盾。D项“Now they suspect they were wrong.( 现在他们怀疑之前的推测是错误的。)”起到转折作用，衔接 “旧推测”与“新发现”，符合逻辑转折关系。故选D项。 【50题详解】 根据前文“The authors say the findings are meant to generate awareness and underscore why industry should produce clothing and shoes that will shed fewer microplastics.( 研究作者表示，这项研究结果旨在提高人们的意识，并强调行业为何应生产微塑料脱落量更少的服装和鞋子。)”提到研究结果旨在提高意识，并强调企业应生产微塑料脱落更少的服装和鞋子，空格需补充“徒步者可采取的措施”，形成“企业责任 + 个人行动”的完整建议。E项“Hikers should also consider wearing less-polluting shoes or clothing made with natural fibers.(徒步者也应考虑穿污染更少的鞋子或天然纤维制成的衣物。)”与前文“industry should produce...”呼应，提出个人层面的解决方案，逻辑连贯；且“also”体现与前文建议的并列关系。故选E项。 （三） （2025年嘉定区一模） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.

Deadly Heat Domes Still Confuse Forecasters Last month, record-high temperatures swept across the eastern US, leading to power emergencies. The cause was a huge high-pressure zone known as a heat dome. This summer, it also hit Europe and China, leading to the temporary closure of the Eiffel Tower and worries about dying rice crops. ____47____ “Unlike larger-scale patterns such as El Niño, which can be forecast months in advance,” said Scott Handel, lead forecaster at the US Climate Prediction Center. “Heat domes have a much shorter lead time and are more complex.” Zach Zobel, a scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center, said “heat dome” is a term to describe dangerous heat waves for the public. It happens when a large high-pressure system sits over an area, heating it with still air and unstopping sunlight. ____48____ Heat domes cause huge harm including wildfires, droughts, stressed crops, higher electricity demand and prices. They even cut airliners’ transport capacity and damage railroad tracks. The US EPA said over 14,000 Americans died directly from heat-related causes between 1979 and 2022. Climate change is making heat domes more common and stronger. The Arctic is warming faster than other parts of the world, which weakens the jet stream — a strong wind that keeps weather moving. ____49____ Although scientists are still studying how this works, it is clear that better forecasts and earlier warnings are needed to protect people and reduce damage. ____50____ Measuring how fast the jet stream moves can be a predictor. When the speed is low, it can be an indicator of widespread heat domes. Weather forecasters also rely on measures like soil moisture (湿度) since drier land means higher temperatures, which is direct evidence for heat domes. “The weather event that kills more than anybody else on the planet is heat,” Zobel said, “It is silently a big human impact, making the need for more accurate forecasts with longer lead times all the more important.” A. This traps more heat and makes the high pressure stronger. B. The result: heat domes can’t be driven away and thus stay longer over certain areas. C. However, predicting heat domes remains a significant challenge. D. Now, scientists are opening their toolboxes to try and figure out where and when heat domes will strike. E. To make things worse, forecasting heat domes is hard — a big worry as the world gets warmer. F. That influences heat domes in two ways. 【答案】47. E 48. A 49. B 50. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍热穹顶引发多国高温灾害，指出其预报难度大、成因与气候变化相关，科学家正探索通过监测急流等方法提升预报准确性。 【47题详解】 根据上文“Last month, record-high temperatures swept across the eastern US, leading to power emergencies. The cause was a huge high-pressure zone known as a heat dome. This summer, it also hit Europe and China, leading to the temporary closure of the Eiffel Tower and worries about dying rice crops.(上个月，美国东部地区遭遇了创纪录的高温天气，引发了电力供应危机。其原因是一个被称为“热穹顶”的巨大高压气团。今年夏天，这一现象还出现在欧洲和中国，导致埃菲尔铁塔暂时关闭，并引发了人们对水稻歉收的担忧)”可知，前文列举了热穹顶在美、欧、中造成的灾害（美国电力紧急、埃菲尔铁塔临时关闭、水稻作物受威胁），后文转而论述热穹顶预报的难度。E选项“更糟的是，热穹顶的预报难度很大 —— 在全球变暖的背景下，这是一大隐患”起到承上启下的作用，既衔接前文的灾害影响，又引出后文对预报难题的讨论，符合段落逻辑。故选E。 【48题详解】 根据上文“Zach Zobel, a scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center, said “heat dome” is a term to describe dangerous heat waves for the public. It happens when a large high - pressure system sits over an area, heating it with still air and unstopping sunlight.(伍德维尔气候研究中心的科学家扎克·佐贝尔表示，“热穹顶”这一术语用于向公众描述危险的热浪现象。当一个大型高压系统笼罩在一个区域上时，就会形成“热穹顶”，这种情况下，静止的空气和持续的阳光会使该区域升温)”可知，前文解释了热穹顶的形成原理（大型高压系统盘踞某地，静风与持续日照导致升温），A选项“这会困住更多热量，让高压系统变得更强”是对形成过程的递进说明，进一步阐释高压系统如何强化、热穹顶如何持续发展，且与后文热穹顶的多重危害形成因果衔接。故选A。 【49题详解】 根据上文“Climate change is making heat domes more common and stronger. The Arctic is warming faster than other parts of the world, which weakens the jet stream — a strong wind that keeps weather moving.(气候变化使得热穹顶现象愈发常见且愈发强烈。北极地区的气温上升速度比世界其他地区更快，这导致了高空急流（一种维持天气流动的强风）的减弱)”可知，前文提到北极变暖削弱了急流（维持天气系统移动的强风），B选项“结果就是：热穹顶无法被驱散，因此会在特定区域停留更长时间”是急流减弱带来的直接后果，既呼应前文的气象机制，又为后文“需加强预报预警”的结论铺垫，逻辑连贯。故选B。 【50题详解】 根据后文“Measuring how fast the jet stream moves can be a predictor. When the speed is low, it can be an indicator of widespread heat domes. Weather forecasters also rely on measures like soil moisture (湿度) since drier land means higher temperatures, which is direct evidence for heat domes.(测量急流的移动速度可以作为一种预测指标。当速度较慢时，这可能表明存在大面积的热穹顶现象。气象预报员还会依据诸如土壤湿度等指标来进行预测，因为干燥的土壤意味着温度升高，这是热穹顶存在的直接证据)”可知，后文具体介绍了预报热穹顶的两种方法（测量急流速度、监测土壤湿度），D选项“如今，科学家们正拿出各种手段，试图预判热穹顶会在何时何地出现”是对后文内容的总起，明确段落核心是科学家的预报探索，起到引领下文的作用。故选D。 （四） （2025年徐汇区一模） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Amid the turmoil of the Second World War, a visionary group assembled with a uniquely optimistic mission: to plan for the preservation of Britain’s natural landscapes after the conflict. A key figure among them was John Dower, an architect and civil servant from Ilkley. ____47____ He advocated for public access for open-air enjoyment, alongside safeguards for wildlife, farming, and historic buildings. Tragically, Dower died from tuberculosis in 1947 at the age of 47, just four years before his dream was realized with the establishment of Britain’s first national park in the Peak District in 1951. Eighty years on, Dower’s legacy is profound. There are now 15 national parks across Great Britain, covering roughly 10% of its land surface, with potentially three more in development across England, Scotland, and Wales. ____48____ They are living, working landscapes that are both empty and bustling, home to isolated farmsteads and thriving communities. This complex mix of private ownership, public interest, and natural beauty means park authorities must act as both planning officers and wardens of nature. ____49____ Questions persist about balancing the needs of visitors and locals: Is it right for quarrying to scar areas of natural beauty? Should the excesses of rural tourism be reined in before they degrade the landscape? How can affordable housing be provided in areas where park designation inflates property prices? Despite these ongoing and legitimate challenges, the national parks are a cherished part of the national heritage. The process of adding new ones, whether in the Chilterns, Galloway, or north-east Wales, is slow, but their cultural value is undeniable. Although recent government grants offer some relief, charities warn that real-term funding has fallen significantly. ____50____ They stand as a lasting testament to John Dower’s campaigning belief that they are “for all who come to refresh their minds and spirit and exercise their bodies in a peaceful setting of natural beauty.” A. Unlike the vast wildernesses of the American model, British national parks are a unique tapestry of the wild and the cultivated. B. Nevertheless, these landscapes are now forever interwoven with British culture. C. The very concept of a ‘national park’ was imported from the United States, where the establishment of Yellowstone in 1872 created a template for the world. D. This very complexity inevitably sparks passionate debate about their purpose and management. E. The post-war period also saw a revolution in agricultural technology, with the widespread adoption of tractors fundamentally changing the face of British farming. F. His great vision was for beautiful landscapes to be strictly preserved for the nation. 【答案】47. F 48. A 49. D 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是英国国家公园的发展历程、现状、面临的挑战以及其重要意义。 【47题详解】 空后“He advocated for public access for open-air enjoyment, alongside safeguards for wildlife, farming, and historic buildings.(他倡导公众能自由享受户外活动，同时保护野生动物、农业和历史建筑。)”说的是他的倡议，是关于保护环境的，F选项“His great vision was for beautiful landscapes to be strictly preserved for the nation.(他的伟大愿景是为国家严格保护美丽的风景。)”说明他的愿景是要保护风景，也就是保护环境，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选F。 【48题详解】 空前“There are now 15 national parks across Great Britain, covering roughly 10% of its land surface, with potentially three more in development across England, Scotland, and Wales.(现在英国有15个国家公园，大约占其陆地面积的10%，在英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士还有3个正在开发中。)”说明了英国有很多的国家公园，下文“They are living, working landscapes that are both empty and bustling, home to isolated farmsteads and thriving communities.(它们是生活、工作的乡村风景画，既空旷又熙熙攘攘，有孤立的农场和繁荣的社区)”提到英国国家公园包含人群的热闹和自然的空旷，A选项“Unlike the vast wildernesses of the American model, British national parks are a unique tapestry of the wild and the cultivated.(与美国模式中广袤的荒野不同，英国国家公园是自然与人文交织而成的独特画卷。)”承接上文“英国国家公园”的话题，说明了其特点，并引出下文，故选A。 【49题详解】 空后“Questions persist about balancing the needs of visitors and locals: Is it right for quarrying to scar areas of natural beauty? Should the excesses of rural tourism be reined in before they degrade the landscape? How can affordable housing be provided in areas where park designation inflates property prices?(在平衡游客与当地居民的需求方面，仍存在诸多问题：采石作业是否应该破坏自然美景区域？在乡村旅游过度发展致使景观退化之前，是否应加以管控？在因划定为公园而推高房价的地区，又该如何提供经济适用房？)”提出了一些关于国家公园的一些问题，D选项“This very complexity inevitably sparks passionate debate about their purpose and management.(这种复杂性不可避免地引发了关于它们的目的和管理的激烈辩论。)”说明出现了一些关于它们的目的和管理的激烈辩论，引出下文辩论的具体内容，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选D。 【50题详解】 空后“They stand as a lasting testament to John Dower’s campaigning belief that they are “for all who come to refresh their minds and spirit and exercise their bodies in a peaceful setting of natural beauty.”(它们长久地见证着John Dower积极倡导的信念，即它们“是为所有前来在宁静优美的自然环境中放松身心、陶冶情操、强健体魄的人而设”。)”说明了它们的价值，B选项“Nevertheless, these landscapes are now forever interwoven with British culture.(然而，如今这些景观已永远与英国文化紧密交织在一起。)”说明这些景观与英国文化紧密交织在一起，体现了它们在文化方面的价值，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选B。 （五） （2025年松江区一模） Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

In the morning on October the 19th 2025, after thieves broke into the Louvre Museum in broad daylight,making off with 8 pieces of treasures, an embarrassed nation is asking itself a question: How could France let this happen? ____47____ Problems related to funds have actually held back the state-owned museum’s ability to manage massive crowds and ultimately secure some of the world’s most valuable collections of art. The fact that the break-in occurred at the Louvre Palace,a symbol of France’s cultural might, and encountered little resistance, has French officials questioning not just the Louvre’s defenselessness, but that of cultural sites across the country.Several ministers arranged for a crisis meeting to examine the extent of the security breakdown.Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin expressed, “One thing is certain:it’s that we have failed”. ____48____ The museum staff are placing the blame on years of staffing cuts.The continuous layoffs have left the Louvre with tough choices over where to position a limited number of security guards and cameras.They guard more than 700,000 square feet of exhibition space that contains masterpieces ranging from the Mona Lisa to many ancient statues from Egypt. ____49____ “We were shouting from the rooftops,“Elise Muller,a Louvre security guard and union official said,”We can now see how little we were listened to.”In June,museum staff even mounted a protest over conditions at the museum,saying the crowds were adding stress to the security team in charge of monitoring its collection. ____50____ President Macron intends to construct a new entrance and take pressure off the symbolic glass structure where visitors currently enter the museum and fast-track visits to the Mona Lisa,the Louvre’s main attraction. But critics complain Macron’s plan won’t be finished until 2031 at the earliest.Besides,finding public funds for any repair of the Louvre is going to be a challenge.The longer France struggles to walk out of the financial collapse,the more it chances losing priceless works in robbery that French officials say are increasingly well-organized. A. The staff have given up making efforts to reverse such a serious situation. B. In his opinion,the theft succeeded in giving France an unacceptable image. C. The answer points to its public finances already under great constant stress. D. Dig into the question,and you’ll uncover the answer hidden behind its works of art. E. Due to such overload,museum staff repeatedly gave authorities warnings about security threats. F. An ambitious plan to transform the museum has thus taken shape and is under heated discussion. 【答案】47. D 48. B 49. E 50.

It's time to retire the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet According to UNEP’s Food Waste Index Report 2024, 1.05 billion tons of food were wasted globally in 2024, with 28% coming from food service. ______47______ “Wasted food means wasted resources like land, water, energy and labour, and once in landfill (垃圾填埋坑), it releases greenhouse gases that harm the planet and biodiversity,” says Jocelyn Doyle, head of marketing &communications, The Sustainable Hotel Association. “Cutting food waste is a powerful way to make a difference—and breakfast is a smart place to start.” _____48_____ Scandic Hotels in Northern Europe are downsizing their cakes, pastries and muffins, with the option to come back for more; while Hilton Frankfurt serves pre-portioned items like yogurt and fruit cups. Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit posts polite reminders near buffet stations: “Take only what you can eat.” This shift works well for the modern traveller for whom sustainability is no longer a side note. _____49_____ Striking the right balance between sustainability and service is no small act, especially at breakfast. Many hotels now track how much food is thrown away to determine the buffet’s baseline needs. Doyle also suggests that hotels reconsider under-consumed items, install cook-to-order stations, reduce the selection of items on offer, reduce volumes towards the end of shift and actively guide guest behaviour. “Involve and educate your staff so they understand the changes and can confidently engage guests,” he says. “______50______”. A. Hotels across the world are adopting delicate design choices to meet this goal. B. Travel settings activate a vacation mindset where immoderation feels just right. C. Buffets often lead to overeating due to the “variety effect”—more choice encourages greater consumption. D. Buffet breakfasts are among the worst wrongdoers, generating more than twice as much waste as plated breakfasts. E.

Imagine a social media app where text takes a back seat and voice takes center stage! That’s the experience Airchat promises. And this new take on social media is shaking things up in the tech world. Airchat is an audio-focused social media platform. ____47____ The app then transcribes these messages into text so that they can be both heard and read. It’s a mix between a podcast and an X (formerly Twitter) feed. Many think that Airchat’s decision to abandon the text-first messaging model feels fresh. Hearing the natural tone of someone’s voice when they post feels more personal. ____48____ What’s more, the app offers an auto play feature, allowing you to listen when you’re out and about. Right now, Airchat is an invite-only app. On a practical level, this makes the app easier to manage because the user base is limited. But it’s also a marketing technique that fuels interest by making a product feel special. Some tech writers have noted similarities between Clubhouse, an app popular in 2020, and Airchat. Both apps are audio-focused, started as invite-only and are mostly popular in the tech community. But there’s a key difference. Clubhouse was about live chat rooms and discussions, like a collection of online conferences. ____49____ There’s no time-sensitive pressure to catch a conversation from the beginning. ____50____ Before it adds new features, some writers say that Airchat needs to improve its content moderation system. The developers expect users to check the content themselves and remove offending posts using in-app tools. In extreme cases, Airchat employees may remove a user from the platform. But this system may not be sufficient to keep a large user base under control. So, will Airchat blow up or quietly disappear? That remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: It’s an exciting new voice in the world of online communication. A. It could also reduce misunderstandings since you can hear the emotion in people’s voices. B. As a result, a lot of Air chat users think it offensive when they are using Air chat. C. Instead of typing posts, users hold the record button on the app and record voice messages. D. In the future, we may see additional features that make Airchat stand out even more. E. Airchat users can post a message and the receiver can respond when it’s convenient. F. Airchat can be used not only for online meetings but also for offline conferences. 【答案】47. C 48. A 49. E 50. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍音频社交平台 Airchat。该平台以语音为主，辅以文字，提供更个性化的社交体验。与 Clubhouse 不同，Airchat 允许用户异步交流。文章探讨了其邀请制、内容审核等特点，并对其未来发展表示观望。 【47题详解】 上文“Airchat is an audio - focused social media platform.(Airchat是一款以音频为主的社交媒体平台。)”介绍了Airchat的性质，下文“The app then transcribes these messages into text so that they can be both heard and read.(然后，该应用程序将这些信息转录成文本，以便既可以听到也可以阅读。)”说明该应用程序有将信息转录成文本的功能，C选项“Instead of typing posts, users hold the record button on the app and record voice messages.(用户无需输入帖子，只需按住应用程序上的录音按钮并录制语音信息。)”承接上文，进一步说明了用户在这个以音频为主的平台上如何操作，即录制语音信息，且该信息会被转录成文本，符合语境。故选C。 【48题详解】 上文“Many think that Airchat’s decision to abandon the text - first messaging model feels fresh. Hearing the natural tone of someone’s voice when they post feels more personal.(许多人认为，Airchat放弃以文本为先的消息模式让人耳目一新。当人们发布信息时，听到他们自然的声音会让人感觉更亲切。)”说明了Airchat放弃以文本为先的消息模式的好处，即让人感觉更亲切，A选项“It could also reduce misunderstandings since you can hear the emotion in people’s voices.(它还可以减少误解，因为你可以从人们的声音中听出情绪。)”进一步说明了这种模式的另一个好处，即减少误解，与上文逻辑紧密，符合题意。故选A。 【49题详解】 上文“Clubhouse was about live chat rooms and discussions, like a collection of online conferences.(Clubhouse主要是关于实时聊天室和讨论，就像一系列在线会议。)”介绍了Clubhouse的特点，下文“There’s no time - sensitive pressure to catch a conversation from the beginning.(没有从一开始就赶上对话的时间压力。)”说明了Airchat没有时间压力的特点，E选项“Airchat users can post a message and the receiver can respond when it’s convenient.(Airchat用户可以发布消息，接收者可以在方便的时候回复。)”承接上文，将Clubhouse和Airchat进行对比，说明了Airchat用户发布消息和接收者回复的灵活性，符合语境。故选E。 【50题详解】 下文“Before it adds new features, some writers say that Airchat needs to improve its content moderation system.(在添加新功能之前，一些作家表示，Airchat需要改进其内容审核系统。)”说明了Airchat在添加新功能之前需要改进的地方，D选项“In the future, we may see additional features that make Airchat stand out even more.(未来，我们可能会看到更多让Airchat更加突出的功能。)”引出了下文关于Airchat未来可能添加新功能的话题，符合题意。故选D。 （八） （2026年崇明区一模） Ants Best Humans at Test of Collective Intelligence When people work together, they can achieve great things. But if they can’t talk, they’re not necessarily smarter than ants, at least according to a study published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Both longhorn crazy ants and humans can figure out how to work together to move a large and heavy object through a series of obstacles. ____47____ They had individuals and groups of different sizes of both species move a T-shaped object through a tricky series of openings in walls, both of which were scaled to the body size of the participants. This kind of puzzle is hard for ants because their pheromone-based (基于信息素的) communication doesn’t account for the kind of geometry (几何) needed to get the object through the doors._____48_____ In some of the trials, they made the humans wear sunglasses and masks and forbade talking and gestures. So the people, like the ants, had to work together without language. They could only rely on the forces generated by their fellow participants to figure out how to move the T-shaped piece. ____49____ They exhibited what the researchers described as “emergent” collective memory, an intelligence greater than the sum of its parts. The groups of humans, on the other hand, often didn’t do better when working together, especially if they weren’t allowed to talk. In fact, multiple people sometimes performed worse than individuals — and worse than the ants. The researchers assume that, in the absence of the ability to discuss and debate, individuals attempt to reach an agreement quickly rather than fully assessing the problem. This group think, they suggest, leads people toward fruitless “greedy” efforts where they directly pull the T-shaped object toward the gaps in the wall, rather than the less obvious, correct solution of pulling the object into the space between first. ____50____ A. So scientists made the two compete against each other. B. The groups of ants were much better at solving the puzzle than individual ants. C. It was a bit like moving an awkwardly large couch through a narrow hallway or stairwell. D. To make the experiments even more comparable, the team also took away the humans’communication. E. Furthermore, when allowed to communicate, human groups performed about as well as the average individual in the group, so there was no advantage to teaming up. F. The ants “excel in cooperation,” they write, while humans need to be able to talk through their reasoning to avoid simply going with what they think the crowd wants. 【答案】47. A 48. D 49. B 50. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了蚂蚁和人类在集体合作移动重物通过障碍的测试中的表现，发现蚂蚁在没有语言交流的情况下比人类更擅长合作。 【47题详解】 上文“Both longhorn crazy ants and humans can figure out how to work together to move a large and heavy object through a series of obstacles.(长角狂蚁和人类都能想出如何合作将一个又大又重的物体通过一系列障碍物)”说明长角狂蚁和人类都能协作移物过障碍。下文“They had individuals and groups of different sizes of both species move a T-shaped object through a tricky series of openings in walls, both of which were scaled to the body size of the participants.(他们让两种物种（长角狂蚁和人类）中不同规模的个体和群体移动一个T形物体，使其穿过墙壁上一系列复杂的开口，这些开口的尺寸均根据参与者的体型进行了调整)”说明对前面描述的事情做了实验研究，空处和前文为顺接关系，引出研究的具体实验方式。所以A项“于是科学家让两者进行比拼”承接上文，开启下文对实验的描述。故选A。 【48题详解】 上文“This kind of puzzle is hard for ants because their pheromone-based communication doesn’t account for the kind of geometry needed to get the object through the doors.(这种难题对蚂蚁来说十分棘手，因为它们基于信息素的交流方式，并不能解决物体穿过洞口所需的几何形状相关问题)”说明蚂蚁的交流方式有局限。空处和前文为递进关系，说明研究人员如何让人类和蚂蚁的实验条件更具可比性。所以D项“为了让实验更具可比性，研究团队还剥夺了人类的交流能力” 符合语境，且下文“forbade talking and gestures(禁止说话和做手势)”是对D项的具体解释。故选D。 【49题详解】 下文“They exhibited what the researchers described as “emergent”collective memory an intelligence greater than the sum of its parts. The groups of humans, on the other hand, often didn’t do better when working together, especially if they weren’t allowed to talk. In fact, multiple people sometimes performed worse than individuals — and worse than the ants.(它们展现出了研究人员所描述的“突现”集体记忆——一种比其各部分总和还要强大的智慧。而另一方面，人类群体在合作时往往表现不佳，尤其是在他们不被允许交流的情况下。事实上，多人合作时的表现有时比个人单独行动还要差——甚至比蚂蚁还要差)”说明将蚂蚁群体和人类群体的表现进行对比。空处应先介绍蚂蚁群体的表现，为下文对比做铺垫。B项“蚂蚁群体比单个蚂蚁更擅长解决这个难题”引出下文的对比内容，符合语境。故选B。 【50题详解】 上文“The researchers assume that, in the absence of the ability to discuss and debate, individuals attempt to reach an agreement quickly rather than fully assessing the problem. This group think, they suggest, leads people toward fruitless “greedy” efforts where they directly pull the T-shaped object toward the gaps in the wall, rather than the less obvious, correct solution of pulling the object into the space between first.(研究人员推测，在缺乏讨论和辩论能力的情况下，个体倾向于迅速达成一致，而非全面评估问题。他们指出，这种“群体思维”会使人们做出徒劳无功的“短视”尝试——直接将T形物体拉向墙上的缝隙，而非先将其拉入中间空间这一不那么显而易见却正确的解决方案)”分析了无交流时人类表现差的原因。空处和前文为总结关系，归纳蚂蚁和人类在协作能力上的差异。F项“研究人员写道，蚂蚁“擅长协作”，而人类需要通过语言梳理思路，才能避免盲从大众的想法”总结全文，符合语境。故选F。 （九） （2026年杨浦区一模） Am I Being Tracked? Technology enables people to do many extraordinary things, but it can also be misused and cause harm. Fortunately, additional developments can counter some of these negative uses of technology. ____47____ Bluetooth location trackers were designed to help people recover lost items, such as suitcases or wallets. They can also be placed in cars to help a person find their car if it gets stolen. But they can also be planted in someone else’s bag or car without that person’s permission to track them without their knowledge. ____48____Unfortunately, people who choose to track others often have bad motives that place the people they track in great danger. ____49____But if yours doesn’t or if you want to be able to detect more brands of trackers, you can download apps that will do a more thorough job. Tracker detection apps notify the phone’s owner if the phone detects a tracker that has been near it for an extended time. There is often a delay between when the tracker is detected and when the notification is sent. ____50____ For example, if someone has a tracker on their key and walks past you in a public place, that will not trigger a notification. But if the tracker remains near you for a whole day, especially if you are moving, it is probably on something you own, and the app will notify you. If you suspect that someone is tracking you, take action now to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. A. So if you place a tracker in your own bag, for example, it will not activate the app. B. Bluetooth trackers are small, so victims of tracking seldom find them if they do not know to search for them. C. That way, if they misplace the object the tracker is attached to, they can look up the information to find it again. D. Smartphones can search for trackers, and some now have built-in settings that will send you a notification if you are being tracked. E. This is the case with tracking technology, which has undergone many improvements in recent years. F. This is meant to avoid false alarms in case the tracker belongs to someone else who just happens to be nearby. 【答案】47. E 48. B 49. D 50.

After a heavy summer afternoon of picking vegetables in the garden, my daughter and I were hanging out on the couch. She had picked a particularly large cucumber and was really proud of it, telling me how cold it felt. Of course, the phrase “cool as a cucumber” came up. Then my cousin said something very interesting: “Oh, that must be an American thing. In China, we don’t use cucumbers. _____47_____” “Wait, what?” I was obviously confused as to why melons would be hugged. But then my cousin explained that long before modern cooling devices like air conditioners or electric fans, hugging winter melon, a vegetable native to China, was a practical way to beat the summer heat while sleeping. _____48_____ Winter melons, with their massive size and thick skin, retain (保持) a cool temperature even in hot weather. Often stored in cool places, they absorb and retain up to 96 percent water, which means they resist heating up quickly, staying refreshingly cool to the touch even on the hottest days. Back then, for ordinary people, a winter melon could double as a natural cooling pad to which the body transferred excess heat to, providing relief from sticky, uncomfortable nights. This practice endures because many believe it’s a gentler, more natural alternative to modern cooling methods. _____49_____ And compared to fans, which blow air directly onto the body, the melon’s coolness is passive and gentle. And yes, winter melons are used for more than just hugs. In Chinese cuisine, they’re often used in dishes as they absorb the flavours of soups and seasonings, making them a common addition to soups. _____50_____ Also, in traditional Chinese medicine, they’re valued for their cooling properties, which are thought to help balance the body’s internal heat. To find a full-sized, whole winter melon to hug, head to a farmers’ market. There, you’ll surely find one that holds enough coolness to make this ancient trick feel just as effective today as it was centuries ago. A. In ancient times, you hugged cucumbers to stay cool, which was a common practice. B. The reasoning behind it is rooted in the melon’s physical properties. C. Their mildness balances rich ingredients — winter melon and pork soup is a classic example. D. Therefore, I had to look into the agricultural practice further through a quick online search. E. Unlike air conditioners, a winter melon provides a mild coolness that’s less likely to cause discomfort for kids. F. We hug winter melons to stay cool on hot summer days. 【答案】47. F 48. B 49. E 50.

The “Correct The Map” initiative urges governments and international organizations to use maps that show the true size of Africa. ____47____ It makes areas near the poles, such as North America and Europe, appear larger, while reducing lands near the equator like Africa. And it creates a false idea of Africa as less important, even though it is the world’s second-largest continent in both area and population.This incorrect view helps continue stereotypes (刻板印象) that affect international media, education, and policy. Although criticism of the Mercator map is not new, the campaign has brought back the debate.____48____ This correction is vital because, as Moky Makura of Africa No Filter explains, Africa has long been presented in a misleading way on world maps. Nevertheless, the Mercator map remains widely used in schools and across the tech industry. This widespread use is obvious in its status as the standard map for countless educational resources. ____49____ ____50____ Seeing Africa shown smaller on world maps hurts people’s pride and harms children’s self-image. “We are working to make the Equal Earth projection the main map used in classrooms across Africa,” said Fara Ndiaye, co-founder of Speak Up Africa. In support of this educational effort, the African Union will encourage wider use of correct maps among its member states. A. The Mercator map, a 16th-century navigation tool, misrepresents the world’s continents. B. Besides, the Mercator maps can greatly influence people’s sense of cultural identity. C. Similarly, it still serves as the main world map on many digital platforms and mobile apps. D. However, changing classroom materials alone won’t fully address public misconceptions. E. It encourages the use of the 2018 Equal Earth projection to show countries’ sizes correctly F. Experts argue modern mapping tools have made traditional world projections less important. 【答案】47. A 48.

Yet the reality of life beyond Earth is far harsher than the cinematic fantasies suggest. ____47____ Astronauts and scientists on the International Space Station (ISS) can’t jump into a shower or take a relaxing bath. Instead, they have to rely on washing with a cloth and using special shampoos to stay clean. Even using the bathroom becomes a difficult process, involving bags, tubes and toilets designed to prohibit waste from floating around. Eating is another adventure. Without gravity to hold food in place, food and liquids float in all directions, which can damage equipment. To address this problem, astronauts eat most of their meals from sealed containers and drink liquids from special bags. While these solutions are clever, the menu is often limited. ____48____ Living off-world wears down astronauts’ bodies in other ways as well. In microgravity, body fluids (体液) shift upward, disturbing normal blood movement around the body and even damaging eyesight. ____49____ Without the pull of gravity to resist their movements, astronauts’ muscles and bones start to weaken over time. So, NASA recommends that astronauts exercise for around two hours each day using machines that are designed for training in microgravity. ____50____ Cancer research, for example, has received a major boost from ISS studies. In these weightless conditions, scientists have been able to grow and study blood vessel (血管) cells. This research enables them to test new drugs that could block a cancer growth’s ability to develop its own blood supply. A. Even with all these hardships, space allows discoveries impossible on Earth. B. This repetitive diet often results in loss of appetite, posing health risks over time. C. To keep food from drifting away, astronauts often stick bread to the table with special tape. D. Additionally, staying physically fit in space requires much more effort than it does on Earth. E. Clearly, living off-world in a microgravity environment requires careful planning and training. F. With muscles becoming weaker, astronauts are advised to lift heavier weights than they do on Earth. 【答案】47. E 48. B 49. D 50.

The writer G. K. Chesterton once remarked that the Museum is not meant either for the wanderer to see by accident, but rather for the mere slave of a routine of self-education to stuff himself with every sort of intellectual food in one indigestible meal. But there are hundreds of smaller museums, often founded by enthusiasts, that make an incalculable contribution to cultural life. For those financed through local authorities, the past decade and a half has been harsh, with spending on England’s museums and galleries falling by more than a third. ____48____ The Musical Museum is a case in point. It was founded in an abandoned church by Frank Holland to house his growing collection of instruments, and he sold his home to support it. It has since moved to a new building, from where it streams concerts on the Mighty Wurlitzer. ____49____ Volunteers rolled up their sleeves and responded by launching a 60th-anniversary appeal, which is on the point of reaching its target. ____50____ They embody many different enthusiasms, from pens (Birmingham) to dog collars (Kent). Such institutions are labours of love. They are also statements of what individuals or communities want to save of, and for, themselves — and the work they will put into preserving it. They are the stories of what we have been and who we are. A. But as Mr Holland’s fund ran dry, the museum had to lay off staff and cut opening hours. B. Yet collecting is a basic human instinct, and the will to share collections is strong. C. Have you heard about the museum of clocks that may have to be closed unless the founder can find someone to keep it running when he retires? D. Doubts about the size and purpose of such vast institutions are nothing new. E. But if proof of living value were needed, one of their members provided it two years ago. F. This is a story that will ring bells with many small museums. 【答案】47. D 48. C 49. A 50. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章讲述了英国一些由爱好者或地方政府创办的小型博物馆面临的困境以及这些小型机构的意义。 【47题详解】 前文“Of the 2, 500 museums estimated to exist around the UK, the great national institutions take all the air, with their popular shows and rows over funding, return of seized treasures and — in the case of the British Museum — reported thefts.(据估计，英国境内共有2500家博物馆，其中，大型国家级博物馆占据了所有版面，它们举办的热门展览以及围绕资金、归还被扣押的珍宝（以及大英博物馆报道的盗窃案）的争论都备受关注。)”提到英国大型国家级博物馆备受关注，并列举其争议（资金、文物归还、盗窃案），后文“From their earliest days, critics have challenged their tendency to collect and display the remains of empires.(从它们成立之初，批评者就对其收集和展示帝国遗迹的倾向提出了质疑。)”提到批评者对大型国家博物馆的质疑。空格处需衔接“大型博物馆的争议”与“批评者的质疑历史”，D项“对这类庞大机构的规模和目的的怀疑并非新鲜事)”承上启下，符合逻辑。故选D。 【48题详解】 前文“For those financed through local authorities, the past decade and a half has been harsh, with spending on England’s museums and galleries falling by more than a third.(对于那些由地方政府资助的博物馆来说，过去的15年是艰难的，英格兰博物馆和画廊的支出下降了三分之一以上)”提到由地方政府资助的博物馆举步维艰，C项“你听说过钟表博物馆吗？如果创始人在他退休时找不到人来维持运转，它可能不得不关闭”举例说明博物馆的艰难情形，符合语境。故选C。 【49题详解】 前文“It was founded in an abandoned church by Frank Holland to house his growing collection of instruments, and he sold his home to support it. It has since moved to a new building, from where it streams concerts on the Mighty Wurlitzer.(它是由弗兰克·霍兰德在一个废弃的教堂里建立的，用来存放他越来越多的乐器收藏，他卖掉了自己的房子来支持它。此后，它搬到了一座新楼，在那里通过Mighty Wurlitzer播放音乐会)”描述了音乐博物馆创始人卖掉房子维持运转，后文“Volunteers rolled up their sleeves and responded by launching a 60th-anniversary appeal, which is on the point of reaching its target.(志愿者们挽起袖子，发起了60周年纪念呼吁，即将达到目标)”提到志愿者的加入，由此推知音乐博物馆面临严重的经济困难，A项“但随着霍兰德的资金枯竭，博物馆不得不裁员并缩短开放时间”符合语境，故选A。 【50题详解】 后文“They embody many different enthusiasms, from pens (Birmingham) to dog collars (Kent).(它们体现了许多不同的热情，从钢笔（伯明翰）到狗项圈（肯特）)”提到两个博物馆的两个展品，B项“然而，收藏是人类的一种基本本能，他们分享收藏品的意愿很强烈”符合语境，与上文“小型地方博物馆面临困境”形成语义上的转折，B项中“collections”是下文“They”的指代对象，且呼应“from pens (Birmingham) to dog collars (Kent)”，故选B。 （十五） （2026年青浦区一模） Mystery Boxes Most of us know what it’s like to get presents from friends. Whether it’s for a birthday or other celebration, it’s hard to beat the excitement of opening a carefully wrapped box to find something that’s both unexpected and suits you perfectly. Now, imagine if you could get the same feeling when you go shopping for yourself. That’s the feeling that mystery boxes hope to reproduce. Mystery boxes are not a new idea— they were a feature of department stores in Japan in the early 20th century. They contain a range of different products, which are sold at a lower price than their combined value. ___47___ All kinds of mystery boxes are available: fashion boxes, food boxes, beauty boxes, even lucky boxes, which are virtual items for video games. The pleasant surprise is not the only attraction of mystery boxes. ___48___ Seasonal vegetable subscription boxes might lead people to learn to cook new meals. They can also potentially offer great savings— as the recommended consumer price of the contents is often far higher than the purchase price. For sellers and suppliers, the benefits are clear: ___49___ British fashion mystery box businessman Mario Maher highlights how mystery boxes can help reduce the amount of waste in the fashion industry. People might discover product ranges that would otherwise be thrown away. ___50___ When you buy them, you don’t know what you’ll get. It may be that the goods inside are not to your taste, but there is also the potential for cheaters to employ the unpredictability of mystery boxes to send items that have a much lower value than the price of the box. So, are mystery boxes a fun way of reducing waste and making shopping more exciting, or more an opportunity for disappointment, or worse— cheating? A. There is an obvious downside to mystery boxes. B. They also allow people to try things that they otherwise wouldn’t. C. Retailers often lose money when selling mystery boxes to clear stock. D. It allows them to sell unwanted stock for a profit. E. Customers usually get a list of contents before buying mystery boxes. F. The key thing is that customers don’t know what’s in the box before they buy. 【答案】47. F 48. B 49. D 50.

(它们还能让人们尝试原本不会去接触的东西。)”与后文“Seasonal vegetable subscription boxes might lead people to learn to cook new meals.( 时令蔬菜订阅盒可能会促使人们学习烹饪新菜式。)”的例子完美对应，构成“总述 + 例证”的结构。故选B项。 【49题详解】 前文“For sellers and suppliers, the benefits are clear:( 对于卖家和供应商来说，好处是显而易见的：)”提到“对于卖家和供应商来说，好处显而易见”，空格处需说明具体益处。D选项“It allows them to sell unwanted stock for a profit.( 这能让他们把滞销库存卖出获利。)”符合此推断，同时与后文“British fashion mystery box businessman Mario Maher highlights how mystery boxes can help reduce the amount of waste in the fashion industry.( 英国时尚盲盒商人马里奥·马赫强调了盲盒如何有助于减少时尚行业的浪费。)”提到的“盲盒有助于减少时尚行业的浪费”相契合，解释了卖家通过盲盒处理库存的盈利逻辑。故选D项。 【50题详解】 后文“When you buy them, you don’t know what you’ll get. It may be that the goods inside are not to your taste, but there is also the potential for cheaters to employ the unpredictability of mystery boxes to send items that have a much lower value than the price of the box.( 当你买它们的时候，你不知道你会得到什么。这可能是因为里面的商品不合你的口味，但也有可能是骗子利用盲盒的不可预测性来发送价值远低于盒子价格的物品。)”提到盲盒的弊端 —— 购买前未知，可能买到不合心意的商品，甚至遭遇商家欺诈。A 选项“There is an obvious downside to mystery boxes.( 盲盒显然存在不足之处。)”作为该段的总起句，自然引出下文对盲盒缺点的阐述。故选A项。 （十六） （2026年闵行区一模） How a Snack Is Born? Are you feeling slightly hungry? Maybe it’s a while until your next meal, so perhaps now you’re thinking about reaching for a brightly coloured wrapper with something delicious inside. Maybe it’s time for a snack. You’re not alone; we all do it. ____47____ First, companies have to work out what people have an appetite for. Traditionally, they might just have asked people about their snack habits. ____48____ Companies can search the Internet for every restaurant menu in a specific market, looking out for the latest taste trends and in-demand ingredients (原料). ____49____ When British supermarkets are encouraged to remove unhealthy snacks from the shelves next to where people line up, companies quickly introduced healthier treats. They can also reflect different histories of population movement. One British snack company found that flavours common in South Asian cuisine sold well in the UK, but less so in the US, where there is less of a tradition of Indian food. And demand for more sustainability has led some entrepreneurs (创业者) to experiment with using insects as an alternative source of protein for snacks. Other brands market themselves as offering a fairer price to the producers of the raw ingredients. Of course, what might seem like the perfect idea might not actually be that practical. Ingredients that work well in a restaurant might not work on biscuits or chips. ____50____ Some designs might need expensive packaging to protect them, which stops them being profitable. There are many factors that influence our snacks. Those that are successful reflect our tastes and concerns but can be limited by the production process. A. Snack trends also change over time. B. In today’s digital age, apps can ask customers to pick the flavors they fancy. C. Flavours that are popular in one country can completely fail in another market. D. How much work goes into developing and making the snacks that we all know and love? E. Snacks with fresh ingredients may have too short a shelf life to be a marketable product. F. Even when a healthier version is launched, it often costs more than the original option. 【答案】47. D 48. B 49. A 50.

Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — somehow manage to avoid the problem of stop-and-go traffic. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative strategies to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up. The free flow of traffic becomes unstable as the density of cars increases on a highway. At 15 vehicles per mile per lane, one driver tapping their brakes can trigger a persistent wave of congestion (拥堵). “____47____” says Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist at the University of Tokyo, who studies these jamming transitions. Nishinari’s previous research had shown that foraging (觅食) ants can maintain their flow even at high densities. In a recent study published in Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives, researchers recorded Oche tell us ants on searching trails. ____48____ They found that the ants don’t jam at rush hour because they travel in groups of three to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another and they don’t speed up to pass others. ____49____ But self-driving cars, if they one day become widespread, could have more cooperative programming. In one vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would share information with nearby cars to optimize traffic flow-perhaps, the researchers suggest, by prioritizing constant speeds and head ways or by not passing others on the road. This vehicle network would be similar to ants on a trail, which use scent to coordinate behavior while interacting with one another. “There is no leader but this organization emerges anyway,” says Noa Pinter-Wollman, a behavioral scientist currently studying ants at the University of California, Los Angeles. And in both ant and vehicle traffic, this type of distributed system can be“very, very strong and resilient”, Nishinari says. Today’s drivers can learn from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam, Nishinari says: “don’t tailgate (尾随).” By leaving room between their car and the one ahead, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in heavy traffic. ____50____ “Just keeping away,” he says, can help traffic flow smoothly. A. It’s a kind of phase transition, like water turning from liquid to solid. B. They then used traffic-engineering models to analyze how the ants moved. C. Drivers often follow ants’ behavior when the highway is busy. D. However, human drivers at rush hour are unlikely to follow such rules. E. Ants communicate through a centralized leader that directs the group. F. Without this space, the wave would grow into a full “fake” traffic jam. （二） （2025年虹口区一模） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Microplastics in the Wilderness Soft trail shoes (越野鞋) and hiking clothing “appear to be significant contributors to microplastics finding their way into these remote, otherwise extremely clean waters”, said Tim Keyes, a Sacred Heart University data scientist. Microplastics are tiny bits of plastic that are either intentionally added to consumer products or formed when larger plastics break down. The particles (微粒) may contain any of about 16,000 plastic chemicals, of which many present serious health risks. ____47____ In 2023, Keyes took samples from Lake Tear of the Clouds, about 1,300 meters high. It sees heavy hiker traffic because it is close to a trail. ____48____ Because the area only had hiker traffic, it was assumed that microplastic pollution was being brought to the area largely by environmental water, especially as rain or snow. ____49____ The researchers returned two years later in early 2025 to sample Lake Tear again and also another lake, Moss Pond, at a similar height but far from human activity. The lab found about 0.73 pieces per mL in Moss Pond and about 16.54 pieces in Lake Tear—a big difference suggesting that hiker traffic plays a major role. Trail shoes with soft soles (鞋底) can drop small plastic pieces just as car tires do, Keyes said. The authors say the findings are meant to generate awareness and underscore why industry should produce clothing and shoes that will shed fewer microplastics. ____50____ A. It’s a reasonable explanation that’s supported by the data. B. He sent the samples to an independent laboratory that found 9.45 particles per mL. C. To minimize their environmental impact,hikers are encouraged to avoid water-rich areas along the trail. D. Now they suspect they were wrong. E. Hikers should also consider wearing less-polluting shoes or clothing made with natural fibers F. They have been found throughout the human body and can cross the brain barriers. （三） （2025年嘉定区一模） Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.

Deadly Heat Domes Still Confuse Forecasters Last month, record-high temperatures swept across the eastern US, leading to power emergencies. The cause was a huge high-pressure zone known as a heat dome. This summer, it also hit Europe and China, leading to the temporary closure of the Eiffel Tower and worries about dying rice crops. ____47____ “Unlike larger-scale patterns such as El Niño, which can be forecast months in advance,” said Scott Handel, lead forecaster at the US Climate Prediction Center. “Heat domes have a much shorter lead time and are more complex.” Zach Zobel, a scientist at the Woodwell Climate Research Center, said “heat dome” is a term to describe dangerous heat waves for the public. It happens when a large high-pressure system sits over an area, heating it with still air and unstopping sunlight. ____48____ Heat domes cause huge harm including wildfires, droughts, stressed crops, higher electricity demand and prices. They even cut airliners’ transport capacity and damage railroad tracks. The US EPA said over 14,000 Americans died directly from heat-related causes between 1979 and 2022. Climate change is making heat domes more common and stronger. The Arctic is warming faster than other parts of the world, which weakens the jet stream — a strong wind that keeps weather moving. ____49____ Although scientists are still studying how this works, it is clear that better forecasts and earlier warnings are needed to protect people and reduce damage. ____50____ Measuring how fast the jet stream moves can be a predictor. When the speed is low, it can be an indicator of widespread heat domes. Weather forecasters also rely on measures like soil moisture (湿度) since drier land means higher temperatures, which is direct evidence for heat domes. “The weather event that kills more than anybody else on the planet is heat,” Zobel said, “It is silently a big human impact, making the need for more accurate forecasts with longer lead times all the more important.” A. This traps more heat and makes the high pressure stronger. B. The result: heat domes can’t be driven away and thus stay longer over certain areas. C. However, predicting heat domes remains a significant challenge. D. Now, scientists are opening their toolboxes to try and figure out where and when heat domes will strike. E. To make things worse, forecasting heat domes is hard — a big worry as the world gets warmer. F. That influences heat domes in two ways. （四） （2025年徐汇区一模） Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Amid the turmoil of the Second World War, a visionary group assembled with a uniquely optimistic mission: to plan for the preservation of Britain’s natural landscapes after the conflict. A key figure among them was John Dower, an architect and civil servant from Ilkley. ____47____ He advocated for public access for open-air enjoyment, alongside safeguards for wildlife, farming, and historic buildings. Tragically, Dower died from tuberculosis in 1947 at the age of 47, just four years before his dream was realized with the establishment of Britain’s first national park in the Peak District in 1951. Eighty years on, Dower’s legacy is profound. There are now 15 national parks across Great Britain, covering roughly 10% of its land surface, with potentially three more in development across England, Scotland, and Wales. ____48____ They are living, working landscapes that are both empty and bustling, home to isolated farmsteads and thriving communities. This complex mix of private ownership, public interest, and natural beauty means park authorities must act as both planning officers and wardens of nature. ____49____ Questions persist about balancing the needs of visitors and locals: Is it right for quarrying to scar areas of natural beauty? Should the excesses of rural tourism be reined in before they degrade the landscape? How can affordable housing be provided in areas where park designation inflates property prices? Despite these ongoing and legitimate challenges, the national parks are a cherished part of the national heritage. The process of adding new ones, whether in the Chilterns, Galloway, or north-east Wales, is slow, but their cultural value is undeniable. Although recent government grants offer some relief, charities warn that real-term funding has fallen significantly. ____50____ They stand as a lasting testament to John Dower’s campaigning belief that they are “for all who come to refresh their minds and spirit and exercise their bodies in a peaceful setting of natural beauty.” A. Unlike the vast wildernesses of the American model, British national parks are a unique tapestry of the wild and the cultivated. B. Nevertheless, these landscapes are now forever interwoven with British culture. C. The very concept of a ‘national park’ was imported from the United States, where the establishment of Yellowstone in 1872 created a template for the world. D. This very complexity inevitably sparks passionate debate about their purpose and management. E. The post-war period also saw a revolution in agricultural technology, with the widespread adoption of tractors fundamentally changing the face of British farming. F. His great vision was for beautiful landscapes to be strictly preserved for the nation. （五） （2025年松江区一模） Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

In the morning on October the 19th 2025, after thieves broke into the Louvre Museum in broad daylight,making off with 8 pieces of treasures, an embarrassed nation is asking itself a question: How could France let this happen? ____47____ Problems related to funds have actually held back the state-owned museum’s ability to manage massive crowds and ultimately secure some of the world’s most valuable collections of art. The fact that the break-in occurred at the Louvre Palace,a symbol of France’s cultural might, and encountered little resistance, has French officials questioning not just the Louvre’s defenselessness, but that of cultural sites across the country.Several ministers arranged for a crisis meeting to examine the extent of the security breakdown.Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin expressed, “One thing is certain:it’s that we have failed”. ____48____ The museum staff are placing the blame on years of staffing cuts.The continuous layoffs have left the Louvre with tough choices over where to position a limited number of security guards and cameras.They guard more than 700,000 square feet of exhibition space that contains masterpieces ranging from the Mona Lisa to many ancient statues from Egypt. ____49____ “We were shouting from the rooftops,“Elise Muller,a Louvre security guard and union official said,”We can now see how little we were listened to.”In June,museum staff even mounted a protest over conditions at the museum,saying the crowds were adding stress to the security team in charge of monitoring its collection. ____50____ President Macron intends to construct a new entrance and take pressure off the symbolic glass structure where visitors currently enter the museum and fast-track visits to the Mona Lisa,the Louvre’s main attraction. But critics complain Macron’s plan won’t be finished until 2031 at the earliest.Besides,finding public funds for any repair of the Louvre is going to be a challenge.The longer France struggles to walk out of the financial collapse,the more it chances losing priceless works in robbery that French officials say are increasingly well-organized. A. The staff have given up making efforts to reverse such a serious situation. B. In his opinion,the theft succeeded in giving France an unacceptable image. C. The answer points to its public finances already under great constant stress. D. Dig into the question,and you’ll uncover the answer hidden behind its works of art. E. Due to such overload,museum staff repeatedly gave authorities warnings about security threats. F. An ambitious plan to transform the museum has thus taken shape and is under heated discussion. （六） （2025年黄浦区一模） Directions: Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. It's time to retire the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet According to UNEP’s Food Waste Index Report 2024, 1.05 billion tons of food were wasted globally in 2024, with 28% coming from food service. ______47______ “Wasted food means wasted resources like land, water, energy and labour, and once in landfill (垃圾填埋坑), it releases greenhouse gases that harm the planet and biodiversity,” says Jocelyn Doyle, head of marketing &communications, The Sustainable Hotel Association. “Cutting food waste is a powerful way to make a difference—and breakfast is a smart place to start.” _____48_____ Scandic Hotels in Northern Europe are downsizing their cakes, pastries and muffins, with the option to come back for more; while Hilton Frankfurt serves pre-portioned items like yogurt and fruit cups. Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit posts polite reminders near buffet stations: “Take only what you can eat.” This shift works well for the modern traveller for whom sustainability is no longer a side note. _____49_____ Striking the right balance between sustainability and service is no small act, especially at breakfast. Many hotels now track how much food is thrown away to determine the buffet’s baseline needs. Doyle also suggests that hotels reconsider under-consumed items, install cook-to-order stations, reduce the selection of items on offer, reduce volumes towards the end of shift and actively guide guest behaviour. “Involve and educate your staff so they understand the changes and can confidently engage guests,” he says. “______50______”. A. Hotels across the world are adopting delicate design choices to meet this goal. B. Travel settings activate a vacation mindset where immoderation feels just right. C. Buffets often lead to overeating due to the “variety effect”—more choice encourages greater consumption. D. Buffet breakfasts are among the worst wrongdoers, generating more than twice as much waste as plated breakfasts. E. Share your efforts through website and social media updates, and use buffet signs to make guests feel part of the solution. F. While many travellers are leaning towards more intentional, low-waste dining, hotels still face the complex task of meeting diverse guest expectations. （七） （2026年宝山区一模） Airchat—Is this the next big thing, or is it all just talk? Imagine a social media app where text takes a back seat and voice takes center stage! That’s the experience Airchat promises. And this new take on social media is shaking things up in the tech world. Airchat is an audio-focused social media platform. ____47____ The app then transcribes these messages into text so that they can be both heard and read. It’s a mix between a podcast and an X (formerly Twitter) feed. Many think that Airchat’s decision to abandon the text-first messaging model feels fresh. Hearing the natural tone of someone’s voice when they post feels more personal. ____48____ What’s more, the app offers an auto play feature, allowing you to listen when you’re out and about. Right now, Airchat is an invite-only app. On a practical level, this makes the app easier to manage because the user base is limited. But it’s also a marketing technique that fuels interest by making a product feel special. Some tech writers have noted similarities between Clubhouse, an app popular in 2020, and Airchat. Both apps are audio-focused, started as invite-only and are mostly popular in the tech community. But there’s a key difference. Clubhouse was about live chat rooms and discussions, like a collection of online conferences. ____49____ There’s no time-sensitive pressure to catch a conversation from the beginning. ____50____ Before it adds new features, some writers say that Airchat needs to improve its content moderation system. The developers expect users to check the content themselves and remove offending posts using in-app tools. In extreme cases, Airchat employees may remove a user from the platform. But this system may not be sufficient to keep a large user base under control. So, will Airchat blow up or quietly disappear? That remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: It’s an exciting new voice in the world of online communication. A. It could also reduce misunderstandings since you can hear the emotion in people’s voices. B. As a result, a lot of Air chat users think it offensive when they are using Air chat. C. Instead of typing posts, users hold the record button on the app and record voice messages. D. In the future, we may see additional features that make Airchat stand out even more. E. Airchat users can post a message and the receiver can respond when it’s convenient. F. Airchat can be used not only for online meetings but also for offline conferences. （八） （2026年崇明区一模） Ants Best Humans at Test of Collective Intelligence When people work together, they can achieve great things. But if they can’t talk, they’re not necessarily smarter than ants, at least according to a study published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Both longhorn crazy ants and humans can figure out how to work together to move a large and heavy object through a series of obstacles. ____47____ They had individuals and groups of different sizes of both species move a T-shaped object through a tricky series of openings in walls, both of which were scaled to the body size of the participants. This kind of puzzle is hard for ants because their pheromone-based (基于信息素的) communication doesn’t account for the kind of geometry (几何) needed to get the object through the doors._____48_____ In some of the trials, they made the humans wear sunglasses and masks and forbade talking and gestures. So the people, like the ants, had to work together without language. They could only rely on the forces generated by their fellow participants to figure out how to move the T-shaped piece. ____49____ They exhibited what the researchers described as “emergent” collective memory, an intelligence greater than the sum of its parts. The groups of humans, on the other hand, often didn’t do better when working together, especially if they weren’t allowed to talk. In fact, multiple people sometimes performed worse than individuals — and worse than the ants. The researchers assume that, in the absence of the ability to discuss and debate, individuals attempt to reach an agreement quickly rather than fully assessing the problem. This group think, they suggest, leads people toward fruitless “greedy” efforts where they directly pull the T-shaped object toward the gaps in the wall, rather than the less obvious, correct solution of pulling the object into the space between first. ____50____ A. So scientists made the two compete against each other. B. The groups of ants were much better at solving the puzzle than individual ants. C. It was a bit like moving an awkwardly large couch through a narrow hallway or stairwell. D. To make the experiments even more comparable, the team also took away the humans’communication. E. Furthermore, when allowed to communicate, human groups performed about as well as the average individual in the group, so there was no advantage to teaming up. F. The ants “excel in cooperation,” they write, while humans need to be able to talk through their reasoning to avoid simply going with what they think the crowd wants. （九） （2026年杨浦区一模） Am I Being Tracked? Technology enables people to do many extraordinary things, but it can also be misused and cause harm. Fortunately, additional developments can counter some of these negative uses of technology. ____47____ Bluetooth location trackers were designed to help people recover lost items, such as suitcases or wallets. They can also be placed in cars to help a person find their car if it gets stolen. But they can also be planted in someone else’s bag or car without that person’s permission to track them without their knowledge. ____48____Unfortunately, people who choose to track others often have bad motives that place the people they track in great danger. ____49____But if yours doesn’t or if you want to be able to detect more brands of trackers, you can download apps that will do a more thorough job. Tracker detection apps notify the phone’s owner if the phone detects a tracker that has been near it for an extended time. There is often a delay between when the tracker is detected and when the notification is sent. ____50____ For example, if someone has a tracker on their key and walks past you in a public place, that will not trigger a notification. But if the tracker remains near you for a whole day, especially if you are moving, it is probably on something you own, and the app will notify you. If you suspect that someone is tracking you, take action now to avoid a potentially dangerous situation. A. So if you place a tracker in your own bag, for example, it will not activate the app. B. Bluetooth trackers are small, so victims of tracking seldom find them if they do not know to search for them. C. That way, if they misplace the object the tracker is attached to, they can look up the information to find it again. D. Smartphones can search for trackers, and some now have built-in settings that will send you a notification if you are being tracked. E. This is the case with tracking technology, which has undergone many improvements in recent years. F. This is meant to avoid false alarms in case the tracker belongs to someone else who just happens to be nearby. （十） （2026年浦东新区一模） Keeping cool as a winter melon? After a heavy summer afternoon of picking vegetables in the garden, my daughter and I were hanging out on the couch. She had picked a particularly large cucumber and was really proud of it, telling me how cold it felt. Of course, the phrase “cool as a cucumber” came up. Then my cousin said something very interesting: “Oh, that must be an American thing. In China, we don’t use cucumbers. _____47_____” “Wait, what?” I was obviously confused as to why melons would be hugged. But then my cousin explained that long before modern cooling devices like air conditioners or electric fans, hugging winter melon, a vegetable native to China, was a practical way to beat the summer heat while sleeping. _____48_____ Winter melons, with their massive size and thick skin, retain (保持) a cool temperature even in hot weather. Often stored in cool places, they absorb and retain up to 96 percent water, which means they resist heating up quickly, staying refreshingly cool to the touch even on the hottest days. Back then, for ordinary people, a winter melon could double as a natural cooling pad to which the body transferred excess heat to, providing relief from sticky, uncomfortable nights. This practice endures because many believe it’s a gentler, more natural alternative to modern cooling methods. _____49_____ And compared to fans, which blow air directly onto the body, the melon’s coolness is passive and gentle. And yes, winter melons are used for more than just hugs. In Chinese cuisine, they’re often used in dishes as they absorb the flavours of soups and seasonings, making them a common addition to soups. _____50_____ Also, in traditional Chinese medicine, they’re valued for their cooling properties, which are thought to help balance the body’s internal heat. To find a full-sized, whole winter melon to hug, head to a farmers’ market. There, you’ll surely find one that holds enough coolness to make this ancient trick feel just as effective today as it was centuries ago. A. In ancient times, you hugged cucumbers to stay cool, which was a common practice. B. The reasoning behind it is rooted in the melon’s physical properties. C. Their mildness balances rich ingredients — winter melon and pork soup is a classic example. D. Therefore, I had to look into the agricultural practice further through a quick online search. E. Unlike air conditioners, a winter melon provides a mild coolness that’s less likely to cause discomfort for kids. F. We hug winter melons to stay cool on hot summer days. （十一） （2026年金山区一模） How to Reduce Screen Time and Focus on Studying In today’s digital age, where screens dominate both education and entertainment, managing screen time has become an essential skill for students. While we can’t avoid using devices completely, learning to manage our screen time can lead to better focus, improved health, and greater academic achievements. A good way to start is by using the screen time tracker already on your phone or computer. ____49____ It can encourage you to transition to offline activities once your time is up. To further minimize distractions, keeping your phone away when you’re studying also helps. Try making your desk or bedroom a phone-free area. Studies show that just seeing your phone can make it harder to concentrate, so putting it in another room while you study is a smart move. For those needing extra motivation, focus apps offer a creative solution. These tools, like Forest, gamify the process of staying offline. For example, you grow a virtual tree that stays alive only if you don’t use your phone. You can also try studying in short blocks, like 25 minutes at a time with 5-minute breaks in between. ____50____ It is called the Pomodoro Technique, a structured method for developing deep work habits, managing energy, and defeating digital distractions. ____51____ Writing by hand has been shown to help you remember things better than typing. Additionally, you might also want to set aside time each day to study without any screens at all. Even one hour can make a difference. Remember, the goal isn’t to stop using technology completely. ____52____ By trying these simple ideas, you can take back your time, focus better on your work, and feel more in control of your day. A. Setting daily limits for distracting apps creates a clear boundary. B. It also helps you become more aware of where your time is going. C. Turning off messages during this session can further reduce temptation. D. It’s about finding a good balance so that screens don’t control your life. E. Beyond digital tools, embracing physical study materials provides substantial benefits. F. This method helps your brain stay fresh and makes it easier to remember what you’re learning. （十二） （2026年奉贤区一模） African Union urges adoption of world map showing continent’s true size The African Union has supported a campaign to stop using the Mercator world map. The “Correct The Map” initiative urges governments and international organizations to use maps that show the true size of Africa. ____47____ It makes areas near the poles, such as North America and Europe, appear larger, while reducing lands near the equator like Africa. And it creates a false idea of Africa as less important, even though it is the world’s second-largest continent in both area and population.This incorrect view helps continue stereotypes (刻板印象) that affect international media, education, and policy. Although criticism of the Mercator map is not new, the campaign has brought back the debate.____48____ This correction is vital because, as Moky Makura of Africa No Filter explains, Africa has long been presented in a misleading way on world maps. Nevertheless, the Mercator map remains widely used in schools and across the tech industry. This widespread use is obvious in its status as the standard map for countless educational resources. ____49____ ____50____ Seeing Africa shown smaller on world maps hurts people’s pride and harms children’s self-image. “We are working to make the Equal Earth projection the main map used in classrooms across Africa,” said Fara Ndiaye, co-founder of Speak Up Africa. In support of this educational effort, the African Union will encourage wider use of correct maps among its member states. A. The Mercator map, a 16th-century navigation tool, misrepresents the world’s continents. B. Besides, the Mercator maps can greatly influence people’s sense of cultural identity. C. Similarly, it still serves as the main world map on many digital platforms and mobile apps. D. However, changing classroom materials alone won’t fully address public misconceptions. E. It encourages the use of the 2018 Equal Earth projection to show countries’ sizes correctly F. Experts argue modern mapping tools have made traditional world projections less important. （十三） （2026年长宁区一模） Life in space Many people consider it exciting to travel to space, often imagining the fancy images of stars and planets from science-fiction movies or expensive commercial spaceflights. Yet the reality of life beyond Earth is far harsher than the cinematic fantasies suggest. ____47____ Astronauts and scientists on the International Space Station (ISS) can’t jump into a shower or take a relaxing bath. Instead, they have to rely on washing with a cloth and using special shampoos to stay clean. Even using the bathroom becomes a difficult process, involving bags, tubes and toilets designed to prohibit waste from floating around. Eating is another adventure. Without gravity to hold food in place, food and liquids float in all directions, which can damage equipment. To address this problem, astronauts eat most of their meals from sealed containers and drink liquids from special bags. While these solutions are clever, the menu is often limited. ____48____ Living off-world wears down astronauts’ bodies in other ways as well. In microgravity, body fluids (体液) shift upward, disturbing normal blood movement around the body and even damaging eyesight. ____49____ Without the pull of gravity to resist their movements, astronauts’ muscles and bones start to weaken over time. So, NASA recommends that astronauts exercise for around two hours each day using machines that are designed for training in microgravity. ____50____ Cancer research, for example, has received a major boost from ISS studies. In these weightless conditions, scientists have been able to grow and study blood vessel (血管) cells. This research enables them to test new drugs that could block a cancer growth’s ability to develop its own blood supply. A. Even with all these hardships, space allows discoveries impossible on Earth. B. This repetitive diet often results in loss of appetite, posing health risks over time. C. To keep food from drifting away, astronauts often stick bread to the table with special tape. D. Additionally, staying physically fit in space requires much more effort than it does on Earth. E. Clearly, living off-world in a microgravity environment requires careful planning and training. F. With muscles becoming weaker, astronauts are advised to lift heavier weights than they do on Earth. （十四） （2026年普陀区一模） The Joy of Small Museums Of the 2, 500 museums estimated to exist around the UK, the great national institutions take all the air, with their popular shows and rows over funding, return of seized treasures and — in the case of the British Museum — reported thefts. ____47____ From their earliest days, critics have challenged their tendency to collect and display the remains of empires. The writer G. K. Chesterton once remarked that the Museum is not meant either for the wanderer to see by accident, but rather for the mere slave of a routine of self-education to stuff himself with every sort of intellectual food in one indigestible meal. But there are hundreds of smaller museums, often founded by enthusiasts, that make an incalculable contribution to cultural life. For those financed through local authorities, the past decade and a half has been harsh, with spending on England’s museums and galleries falling by more than a third. ____48____ The Musical Museum is a case in point. It was founded in an abandoned church by Frank Holland to house his growing collection of instruments, and he sold his home to support it. It has since moved to a new building, from where it streams concerts on the Mighty Wurlitzer. ____49____ Volunteers rolled up their sleeves and responded by launching a 60th-anniversary appeal, which is on the point of reaching its target. ____50____ They embody many different enthusiasms, from pens (Birmingham) to dog collars (Kent). Such institutions are labours of love. They are also statements of what individuals or communities want to save of, and for, themselves — and the work they will put into preserving it. They are the stories of what we have been and who we are. A. But as Mr Holland’s fund ran dry, the museum had to lay off staff and cut opening hours. B. Yet collecting is a basic human instinct, and the will to share collections is strong. C. Have you heard about the museum of clocks that may have to be closed unless the founder can find someone to keep it running when he retires? D. Doubts about the size and purpose of such vast institutions are nothing new. E. But if proof of living value were needed, one of their members provided it two years ago. F. This is a story that will ring bells with many small museums. （十五） （2026年青浦区一模） Mystery Boxes Most of us know what it’s like to get presents from friends. Whether it’s for a birthday or other celebration, it’s hard to beat the excitement of opening a carefully wrapped box to find something that’s both unexpected and suits you perfectly. Now, imagine if you could get the same feeling when you go shopping for yourself. That’s the feeling that mystery boxes hope to reproduce. Mystery boxes are not a new idea— they were a feature of department stores in Japan in the early 20th century. They contain a range of different products, which are sold at a lower price than their combined value. ___47___ All kinds of mystery boxes are available: fashion boxes, food boxes, beauty boxes, even lucky boxes, which are virtual items for video games. The pleasant surprise is not the only attraction of mystery boxes. ___48___ Seasonal vegetable subscription boxes might lead people to learn to cook new meals. They can also potentially offer great savings— as the recommended consumer price of the contents is often far higher than the purchase price. For sellers and suppliers, the benefits are clear: ___49___ British fashion mystery box businessman Mario Maher highlights how mystery boxes can help reduce the amount of waste in the fashion industry. People might discover product ranges that would otherwise be thrown away. ___50___ When you buy them, you don’t know what you’ll get. It may be that the goods inside are not to your taste, but there is also the potential for cheaters to employ the unpredictability of mystery boxes to send items that have a much lower value than the price of the box. So, are mystery boxes a fun way of reducing waste and making shopping more exciting, or more an opportunity for disappointment, or worse— cheating? A. There is an obvious downside to mystery boxes. B. They also allow people to try things that they otherwise wouldn’t. C. Retailers often lose money when selling mystery boxes to clear stock. D. It allows them to sell unwanted stock for a profit. E. Customers usually get a list of contents before buying mystery boxes. F. The key thing is that customers don’t know what’s in the box before they buy. （十六） （2026年闵行区一模） How a Snack Is Born? Are you feeling slightly hungry? Maybe it’s a while until your next meal, so perhaps now you’re thinking about reaching for a brightly coloured wrapper with something delicious inside. Maybe it’s time for a snack. You’re not alone; we all do it. ____47____ First, companies have to work out what people have an appetite for. Traditionally, they might just have asked people about their snack habits. ____48____ Companies can search the Internet for every restaurant menu in a specific market, looking out for the latest taste trends and in-demand ingredients (原料). ____49____ When British supermarkets are encouraged to remove unhealthy snacks from the shelves next to where people line up, companies quickly introduced healthier treats. They can also reflect different histories of population movement. One British snack company found that flavours common in South Asian cuisine sold well in the UK, but less so in the US, where there is less of a tradition of Indian food. And demand for more sustainability has led some entrepreneurs (创业者) to experiment with using insects as an alternative source of protein for snacks. Other brands market themselves as offering a fairer price to the producers of the raw ingredients. Of course, what might seem like the perfect idea might not actually be that practical. Ingredients that work well in a restaurant might not work on biscuits or chips. ____50____ Some designs might need expensive packaging to protect them, which stops them being profitable. There are many factors that influence our snacks. Those that are successful reflect our tastes and concerns but can be limited by the production process. A. Snack trends also change over time. B. In today’s digital age, apps can ask customers to pick the flavors they fancy. C. Flavours that are popular in one country can completely fail in another market. D. How much work goes into developing and making the snacks that we all know and love? E. Snacks with fresh ingredients may have too short a shelf life to be a marketable product. F. Even when a healthier version is launched, it often costs more than the original option. 1 / 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
