1.【注重图表题的识别及信息获取】(2026·内蒙古部分学校高三联考)When it comes to tackling climate change, the focus tends to be on “clean energy” solutions. Indeed, energy, whether in the form of electricity, heat or transport, account for the majority — about 74% — of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But the global food system is also a key contributor to emissions, responsible for 26% of global total GHG emissions. Here’s the breakdown of food’s share of total emissions in 2018, along with a detailed look at each source.
Reducing emissions from food production will be one of our greatest challenges in the coming decades. Unlike many aspects of energy production where practical low-carbon options such as renewables or nuclear power are available, the ways in which we can decarbonize agriculture are less clear. Much is still to be settled, but here are some potential solutions to get us going green.
Potential solutions
Dietary changes
Changing what we eat effectively cuts food-related emissions. Shifting to a more plant-based diet and reducing carbon-intensive foods’ intake help significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions from the food system.
Agroecological practices
By limiting reliance on artificial fertilizers and pesticides and encouraging natural ecological processes, agroecology (AE) not only reduces the environmental footprint of agriculture but also increases the adaptability of agricultural systems to climatic risks.
Innovative technologies
Digital tools such as connected sensors and drones enable real-time crop monitoring and targeted treatment, improving water and nutrient use while reducing unnecessary agricultural inputs.
21.What percentage of global emissions did Livestock & fisheries account for in 2018?
A.4.7%. B.8.1%. C.27%. D.31%.
22.What can we know about the potential solutions?
A.Switching to a completely vegan diet is a must.
B.Using drones makes farming less cost-efficient.
C.Prohibiting chemical inputs entirely is necessary.
D.Adopting AE helps farms deal with the elements.
23.Which section of a website is the text most likely from?
A.Food Safety. B.Emerging Tech. C.Climate Action. D.Sustainable Fisheries.
【答案】21.B 22.D 23.C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了全球食品系统产生的温室气体排放情况。文章通过图表和文字详细列出了食品排放占全球总排放的比例,以及供应链、畜牧业、农作物生产和土地利用等各环节的具体占比,并提出了包括饮食改变、创新技术和生态农业实践在内的潜在解决方案。
21.细节理解题。根据表格信息可知,食品排放占全球总排放量的26%,畜牧业与渔业占食品排放量的31%,计算可知,畜牧业与渔业占全球排放量的占比为:31%×26%≈8.06%,四舍五入为8.1%。故选B。
22.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“By limiting reliance on artificial fertilizers and pesticides and encouraging natural ecological processes, agroecology (AE) not only reduces the environmental footprint of agriculture but also increases the adaptability of agricultural systems to climatic risks.(通过减少对人工化肥和农药的依赖,并鼓励自然生态过程的发挥,农业生态学(AE)不仅降低了农业对环境的影响,还增强了农业系统应对气候风险的能力)”可知,生态农业不仅减少环境足迹,还增强了农业系统应对气候风险的适应能力,D项“采用生态农业有助于农场应对自然因素/恶劣天气”与文意相符。故选D。
23.推理判断题。根据第一段“When it comes to tackling climate change, the focus tends to be on “clean energy” solutions. Indeed, energy, whether in the form of electricity, heat or transport, account for the majority — about 74% — of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But the global food system is also a key contributor to emissions, responsible for 26% of global total GHG emissions. Here’s the breakdown of food’s share of total emissions in 2018, along with a detailed look at each source.(在应对气候变化的问题上,人们的关注点往往集中在“清洁能源”解决方案上。事实上,无论是电力、热能还是交通能源,其在温室气体(GHG)排放总量中所占比例约为74%。但全球食品系统也是排放的重要来源,其排放量占全球总温室气体排放量的26%。以下是2018年食品在总排放量中所占的份额情况,以及对每个来源的详细分析)”以及文章主要介绍的是温室气体排放、应对气候变化与食品系统的关系。由此可推知,文章选自网站的“气候行动”部分。故选C。

Composting (堆肥制造) at Home
What Is Composting?
Composting is the managed, oxygen-requiring biological decomposition of organic materials by microorganisms. Organic (carbon-based) materials include grasses, leaves, yard and tree cuttings, and food waste. The end product is compost, a soil conditioner that can provide nutrients to plants. Microorganisms feed on the materials added to the compost pile during composting. They use carbon and nitrogen (氮) to grow and reproduce, water to digest materials, and oxygen to breathe.
Why Is Composting at Home Important?
Composting is nature’s way of recycling. We can get a beneficial, value-added soil conditioner and use it to protect the environment.
Decrease Greenhouse Gas Emissions (排放)Composting reduces emissions by keeping wasted food out of landfills and offsetting the need for some chemical substances.
Trap CarbonCompost makes carbon stay in the soil instead of being released into the air directly.
Benefits of Composting
Build Flood & Drought Adaptability Compost enables the soil to better absorb and hold water, helping to reduce flooding in heavy rains and maintain water during droughts.
Enrich SoilCompost enhances soil health and plant growth; it slowly discharges and preserves nutrients in the soil, reducing nutrient runoff and protecting water quality.
What to Add to a Backyard Compost Pile?
1.What do we know about composting?
A.It takes place without oxygen. B.It needs microorganisms’ involvement.
C.It breaks down waste with carbon. D.It starts with a special soil conditioner.
2.What can compost help us do?
A.Improve poor soil. B.Prevent flooding.
C.Reduce food waste. D.Store carbon in the air.
3.How much carbon material is needed to build a 200 kg compost pile?
A.20kg. B.60kg. C.120kg. D.180kg.

The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens
Don’t let the “library” part of the name trick you into thinking this is only a bookish destination: The Huntington, a cultural institution in San Marino, California, is by far the most beautiful botanical garden in the region, with museum collections that you absolutely shouldn’t miss. Once the estate of railroad tycoon (大亨) Henry E. Huntington, it’s now a must-visit attraction that can easily occupy an entire day — best enjoyed at a leisurely pace with a break for afternoon tea in the rose garden.
The library includes an early copy of Shakespeare’s Hamlet and correspondences from the Founding Fathers, while the luxurious central residence houses European artworks, including Thomas Gainsborough’s The Blue Boy, which the institution restored in recent years. Nearby large galleries house the American art collection, including Arts and Crafts furniture and a growing number of contemporary pieces. The gardens themselves are practically pieces of art, too, most notably the hilly Japanese garden (now home to a three-century-old rural house) and the impressive Chinese garden, where bridges and pavilions (亭子) encircle a water lily-filled lake — though the otherworldly desert garden is also a personal favorite.
What’s On: Roses and orchids are in bloom (开花) through December. Indoors, the exhibition series “Stories From the Library” looks at Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and the urban planning of early Los Angeles. And potter Edmund de Waal recently presented three site-specific art pieces throughout the grounds. Address: 1151 Oxford Road, San Marino, CA 91108

The Future of Transportation: Trends and Statistics
Transportation is a crucial part of our daily lives. With rapid urbanization and advancements in technology, the way we move from place to place is changing dramatically. In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift towards more sustainable and efficient modes of transportation.·Shift Towards Electric Vehicles (EVs)
EVs are becoming more popular due to their environmental benefits. As countries and cities set stricter emissions (排放) standards, EVs are seen as a cleaner alternative to traditional gasoline-powered cars.·Rise of Public Transportation
As urban populations continue to grow, public transportation is gaining importance. Cities are investing in improving public transit (换乘) systems, including buses, trains, and subways, to reduce traffic jams. Public transportation is also more cost-effective and helps reduce the overall carbon footprint.·Shared Mobility
Shared mobility is becoming a popular option for many people, providing an alternative to private car ownership, especially in cities with heavy traffic. This shift is not only saving money for commuters (通勤者) but also reducing the number of cars on the road.
Here’s a breakdown of the current transportation trends and their percentage share in major cities around the world.

While you do the dishes or drive to work, your mind is likely not on the task at hand; perhaps you’re composing a grocery list or daydreaming about retiring in Italy. But research published in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests you might be taking in more than you think.
In the study, participants practiced a simple task in which they pressed keyboard buttons corresponding to the direction of arrows that lit up on a screen. But there were patterns hidden within the task that the participants were unaware of — and they learned these patterns without consciously noticing them. The researchers found that when participants reported letting their minds wander, they adapted to the task’s hidden patterns significantly faster.
“This is an exciting and important piece of work, especially because the authors chose a non-demanding task to check how mind wandering would affect performance and learning,” says Athena Demertzi from the University of Liège in Belgium. Previous related research focused more on long and demanding tasks, she says — on which being distracted is typically shown to have a negative effect.
But the results are not clear-cut, says Jonathan Smallwood, a psychology researcher at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. “I don’t think that this means the mind-wandering episodes themselves cause implicit learning (内隐学习) to occur,” he says. “Rather, both emerge at the same time when people go into a particular state. This makes the conclusion less certain and open to other interpretations.” Neither Smallwood nor Demertzi was involved in the new study.
Using EEG recordings, the team found that during the test periods, participants’ brains produced more of the slow waves that are dominant during sleep. “Perhaps mind wandering is like a form of light sleep that provides some of that state’s learning benefits,” says Péter Simor, lead author of the recent study.
To better understand whether mind wandering might make up for lost sleep, Simor and his colleagues next plan to study sleep loss.
1.What are the key findings of the new study?
A.Mind wandering greatly disturbs the learning process.
B.People can learn hidden patterns unconsciously.
C.People learn hidden patterns faster when their minds wander.
D.Daydreaming has a negative impact on performing demanding tasks.
2.Why does Athena Demertzi describe the new study as “exciting”?
A.It proves the findings of previous research on demanding tasks.
B.It chooses a novel angle characterized by non-demanding tasks.
C.It employs a unique research method involving demanding tasks.
D.It offers a solution to mind wandering on non-demanding tasks.
3.What does the underlined word “clear-cut” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Confusing. B.Definite. C.Complex. D.Amazing.
4.What will the researchers probably do next according to the passage?
A.Apply the findings to addressing sleep issues.
B.Develop new methods to prevent mind wandering.
C.Study the reasons for a lack of sleep.
D.Research the effect of mind wandering on sleep loss.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.B 4.D
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项关于走神与内隐学习关系的新研究成果,以及相关学者对该研究的不同看法。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers found that when participants reported letting their minds wander, they adapted to the task’s hidden patterns significantly faster.(研究人员发现,当参与者报告说自己走神时,他们适应任务中隐藏模式的速度明显更快)”可知,新研究的核心发现是人们走神时学习隐藏模式的速度会更快。故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This is an exciting and important piece of work, especially because the authors chose a non-demanding task to check how mind wandering would affect performance and learning(这是一项令人兴奋且重要的研究,尤其是因为研究作者选择了一项简单的任务,来探究走神会如何影响表现和学习)”以及“Previous related research focused more on long and demanding tasks(此前相关研究更多聚焦于冗长且高难度的任务)”可知,Athena Demertzi认为该研究令人兴奋的原因是它选取了新颖的研究角度,以简单任务为研究对象,区别于以往的研究。故选B项。
3.词句猜测题。根据第四段中Jonathan Smallwood的观点“I don’t think that this means the mind-wandering episodes themselves cause implicit learning to occur(我认为这并不意味着走神本身会引发内隐学习)”以及“Rather, both emerge at the same time when people go into a particular state. This makes the conclusion less certain and open to other interpretations.(相反,两者是在人们进入特定状态时同时出现的。这使得研究结论的确定性降低,且存在其他解读的可能)”可知,这项研究的结果并不是确定无疑的。由此推断clear-cut的意思是“明确的、确定的”,与definite含义相近。故选B项。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“To better understand whether mind wandering might make up for lost sleep, Simor and his colleagues next plan to study sleep loss.(为了更好地探究走神是否能弥补睡眠不足造成的影响,西莫尔和他的同事们接下来计划研究睡眠不足的相关问题)”可知,研究人员下一步可能会研究走神对睡眠不足产生的影响。故选D项。

Surprisingly, I’m writing this on a social media platform to explain how these apps consumed what should have been my best 15 years. I was in 7th or 8th grade when a relative introduced me to Facebook. The idea of sending a message immediately without paying for a text was mind-blowing. Games like City Ville were addictive, and unknowingly, I was swept into a digital wave.
I grew up in a small town in Madhya Pradesh, a state located in India’s heartland — a place that, even now, goes largely unnoticed. As a young boy, having a desktop computer at home was a special advantage, and I was lucky to have one, thanks to my parents. Soon, everyone had Facebook. Our town, with poor roads and power cuts, suddenly had teenagers glued to screens.
At 13 or 14, I wasn’t especially good-looking: something my classmates never let me forget. Seeing others share romantic stories left me feeling less confident. These comparisons were my first social media-caused insecurities. As years passed, apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Snapchat took over. I felt the need to post, even when unhappy, to create a false image of a perfect life. I hoped badly for attention from strangers while ignoring those who genuinely cared. Daily check-ins on Snapchat mattered more than college assignments. My attention duration became shorter; reading for 15 minutes became difficult.
I’ve also seen people use social media as an excuse to avoid responsibility — something I once did too. I saw friends scroll endlessly during every free moment. I didn’t judge — I was the same. Social media was my escape.
Six months ago, I decided to quit. The first 10 days were extremely hard. I had 3-4 extra hours daily and no idea what to do. Then came the math: 3 to 4 hours a day for years — more than 18,000 hours — time wasted on something that only fueled my insecurities, and time I’ll never get back. So, I leave you with this: Choose wisely.
1.What initially attracted the author to Facebook?
A.The desire for popularity. B.The addictive online games.
C.The recommendation by his relative. D.The costless instant communication.
2.How did the author regard his having a desktop computer?
A.It’s a common possession. B.It’s a fortunate benefit.
C.It’s an unnecessary tool. D.It’s a big debt load.
3.What effect did social media have on the author?
A.It lowered his self-worth. B.It boosted his confidence.
C.It narrowed his social circle. D.It enhanced his sense of security.
4.Which best describes the author’s present-day feeling about social media use?
A.Reflective. B.Content. C.Excited. D.Confused.

3.细节理解题。根据第三段“Seeing others share romantic stories left me feeling less confident. These comparisons were my first social media-caused insecurities.(看到别人分享那些浪漫的故事,让我感到自己不够出色。这些对比是我因使用社交媒体而产生的最初的一系列不安情绪)”可知,社交媒体降低了作者的自尊心。故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Six months ago, I decided to quit. The first 10 days were extremely hard. I had 3-4 extra hours daily and no idea what to do. Then came the math: 3 to 4 hours a day for years — more than 18,000 hours — time wasted on something that only fueled my insecurities, and time I’ll never get back. So, I leave you with this: Choose wisely.(六个月前,我决定戒掉(社交媒体)。最初的10天简直难熬极了。每天我都会多出3到4个小时,却完全不知道该做什么。然后我算了一下:每天3到4个小时,持续数年——超过18000个小时——就这样把时间浪费在只会加剧我的不安的事情上,而这些时间我永远也无法挽回了。所以,我想对你们说:要明智地做出选择)”可知,作者对于当下社交媒体使用是深思熟虑的。故选A。

A dog acting aggressively (攻击性地)at the park and a student dealing with low mood while doing well in school may seem unrelated, but new research says they could share similar genetic roots. Scientists studied over 1,000 golden retrievers, a kind of dog, and found that many genes influencing dog behavior also shape human personality, intelligence, and emotional health. Published in a leading science journal, this finding challenges simple ideas about what drives behavior in both species.
Golden retrievers that did well in training had special versions of genes called ROMO1 and ADGRL2. In humans, ROMO1 is linked to intelligence and how well people learn and think, while ADGRL2 is linked to emotional sensitivity and getting annoyed easily. This means trainable dogs might be smarter and more emotionally aware, not just more willing to follow orders. This matters for programs that train service dogs. Many rely heavily on food rewards to shape behavior. But if trainability is really about problem-solving ability, programs might be better off selecting dogs based on cognitive (认知)tests rather than just how eagerly they go after treats.
The strongest genetic similarities were in fear-related behaviors. Dogs afraid of loud noises, strangers, or other dogs had variants (变体)in genes like ACC3 and PRDX1. In humans, these genes are tied to anxiety, depression, and mood changes. This shows a dog hiding during a thunderstorm might feel something close to human anxiety. Owners of such dogs may need more than just training — changing their environment to reduce stress or even medication in serious cases could help.
Of course, genes don’t determine everything. Training, early life experiences, and environment still play big roles. The research relied on owner-reported questionnaires rather than direct observation of dog behavior, which introduces subjectivity in how owners perceive their pets. Environmental factors like training methods, household dynamics, and life experiences varied widely and could influence behavior. The study included only golden retrievers aged 3 to 7 years, so results may not apply to other dogs.
1.What did scientists find about dogs and humans?
A.They shape their actions by training.
B.Their origins in intelligence are identical.
C.They don’t have the same emotional genes.
D.Their behaviors have similar genetic roots.
2.What characteristics do trainable dogs have?
A.They lack fear in training. B.They are desperate for treats.
C.They have sharp emotional perception. D.They are unwilling to follow orders.
3.How should owners treat their fearful dogs?
A.Punish their fearful behaviors. B.Increase their treat rewards.
C.Adjust their living environment. D.Focus mainly on training.
4.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Major limitations of the study.
B.Suggestions for studies on humans.
C.Explanations of the research method.
D.Possible reasons for the study findings.

You’ve just finished studying for an important exam. Instead of checking your phone, you listen to music for 10 minutes. New research says this simple choice can greatly change what your brain remembers and what it forgets.
Study co-authors Kayla Clark from Rice University and Stephanie Leal from UCLA have discovered something that changes what we thought about music and memory. Their study reveals that music played shortly after learning doesn’t simply help or hurt memory. Instead, it creates a trade-off: the same music that helps you remember the big picture might make you forget important details, while music that preserves fine details could blur (模糊) your overall understanding.
The research recruited 130 college students for a memory experiment with everyday household objects. Participants first looked at 128 images and sorted them as “indoor” or “outdoor” items. This simple task helped them remember the images. Right after that, participants were divided into two groups. The first group listened to classical music which was rich in emotional variety. Another group heard flat and featureless sounds. 30 minutes later, everyone took a memory test.
People in the first group who became much more motivated by the music did better on the general memory test. They easily recognized items they’d seen before. But they struggled with detailed memory, often mistaking similar-looking items for ones they’d definitely seen. While people in the second group showed the opposite pattern. Their general memory got worse, but their detailed memory improved dramatically.
The findings may have medical applications. Music therapy (疗法) is increasingly used for patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Rather than using the same approach for everyone, doctors might need to choose specific musical interventions based on whether they want to support general memory or detailed recall.
In a word, music isn’t simply good or bad for memory. It’s a tool that can be adjusted to boost specific types of thinking. The challenge now is learning to use that tool intentionally rather than by accident.
1.How were the students grouped after remembering the images?
A.By their memory abilities. B.By their interest in music.
C.By the content they listened to. D.By their emotional responses.
2.Why did people in the first group do better on the general memory test?
A.Music makes them more active. B.They are good at recognizing objects.
C.They like to do memory tasks. D.They have improved detailed memory.
3.Why is the research useful for Alzheimer’s patients?
A.It proves music can cure disease. B.It discovers the real needs of patients.
C.It offers personalized treatment ideas. D.It shows feeling is the key to treatment.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Music: A Cure for Memory Loss B.How Music Tunes Your Memory
C.Music: Changing What You Thought D.How to Improve Detailed Memory
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.C 4.B

Shared mobility: Making travel easier for all
In many big cities in Europe and the US, it might seem like we’ve achieved cheap and easy mobility for everyone — just use your phone to find shared e-bikes and electric cars. But if you’re elderly, living in a low-income area or imagine without a smartphone or credit card, using these shared services becomes much more difficult. Here is a survey reporting barriers to using bike sharing.
Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this, but various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reach underserved communities.
By combining economic support, grassroots innovation, and empathetic (能产生共鸣的) design, these efforts aim to make mobility available to everyone, reduce reliance on private vehicles, and ensure fair access for all. “You tend to plan for what you know. That’s why it’s so important to bring in different views in the development of mobility, ” says Lina Mosshammer, founder and CEO of the Austrian mobility consulting company Point&.
1.What percentage of lower income people express concern on safety in the survey?
A.24%. B.27%. C.42%. D.88%.
2.Which solution involves the idea of recycling used bikes?
A.Public-Sector Intervention. B.Community-Centric Design.
C.Technology Adaptation. D.Non-Profit Innovation.
3.What does Mosshammer stress to address the challenge?
A.Increasing urban mobility. B.Offering affordable alternatives.
C.Integrating diverse viewpoints. D.Consulting with the users beforehand.

Passage 2(细节理解考点语篇练)
(2026·江苏省无锡市六校联考)
Chocolate is a popular snack, but the price of it continues to rise. Cocoa from the cacao tree is the basic ingredient of chocolate; the trees thrive in warm and damp climates but are struggling due to increasing aridity — a slow but non-stop drying of the land. This issue extends to producers around the globe, threatening cocoa production and livelihoods of farmers.
Over the past 30 years, more than three-quarters of the Earth’s landmass has become drier. This dryness is a long-term transformation with disastrous consequences for ecosystems, agriculture, and livelihoods.
Aridity arises from human-driven factors, including greenhouse gas emissions, unsustainable land use, and natural resource degradation. Climate change, primarily caused by fossil fuel consumption and deforestation, increases global temperatures, accelerating evaporation (蒸发) and heightening water shortage — even in regions with moderate rainfall.
Unsustainable land use further intensifies aridity. Practices like deforestation and industrial farming degrade soils, removing them from protective vegetation and essential nutrients. In cocoa-producing regions, deforestation upsets local water cycles and wears away the topsoil. Degraded soils hold less water, deepening drought conditions.
Cocoa is just one crop at risk. Major agricultural zones are also affected. By 2100, up to 5 billion people may live in dry lands, stretching food systems to their limit and forcing migration. Aridity also threatens ecosystems. Wildlife struggles to adapt, and plant species suited to warm and damp conditions fail to survive. Economic losses are overwhelming — Africa saw a 12% GDP decline from 1990 to 2015 due to rising aridity. Governments face additional burdens from sandstorms, wildfires, and water shortages.
While aridity’s effects are severe, they are not entirely changeless. Restoring degraded lands, improving soil health, and adopting sustainable farming practices can help. Efficient water management, investment in renewable energy, and international cooperation are essential in battling aridity.
As chocolate prices hit record highs in early 2025 due to dry conditions in Africa, addressing aridity is a matter of urgency. Beyond saving chocolate, it’s about preserving the planet’s ability to sustain life.
1.What’s the main reason for the rising price of chocolate?
A.The decline of cocoa production. B.The high cost of basic ingredients.
C.The increasing demand for chocolate. D.The shortage of cocoa tree plantations.
2.What do we know about aridity?
A.It is mainly caused by natural factors.
B.It only affects cocoa-producing regions.
C.It has a wide-ranging impact on various aspects.
D.It will disappear if sustainable land use is adopted.
3.Why is Africa’s GDP decline mentioned in paragraph 5?
A.To show aridity only causes economic losses in Africa.
B.To prove Africa is the most severely affected by aridity.
C.To criticize Africa lacks effective measures against aridity.
D.To illustrate aridity has a significant influence on economy.
4.Which of the following can fight against aridity?
A.Cutting off water supplies. B.Replacing renewable energy.
C.Promoting soil conservation. D.Practicing industrial farming.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.D 4.C

2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“This dryness is a long-term transformation with disastrous consequences for ecosystems, agriculture, and livelihoods.(这种干旱是一种长期的转变,对生态系统、农业和生计造成灾难性后果。)”可知,干旱的影响不仅限于单一区域或作物,而是广泛涉及生态、农业、经济等多方面。故选C项。
3.推理判断题。根据文章第五段内容“Economic losses are overwhelming—Africa saw a 12%GDP decline from 1990 to 2015 due to rising aridity. (经济损失极为严重——自1990年至2015年,非洲的国内生产总值下降了 12%,原因是干旱加剧。)”可知,导致非洲的国内生产总值下降的原因之一是干旱加剧,由此推知,作者以非洲为例是为了说明干旱对经济的显著影响。故选D项。
4.细节理解题。根据文章第六段内容“Restoring degraded lands, improving soil health, and adopting sustainable farming practices can help. Efficient water management, investment in renewable energy, and international cooperation are essential in battling aridity.(恢复退化的土地、改善土壤质量以及采用可持续的耕作方式都有助于缓解干旱问题。有效的水资源管理、对可再生能源的投资以及国际间的合作对于对抗干旱至关重要。)”可知,缓解或对抗干旱问题的方式有恢复退化的土地,改善土壤质量,采用可持续的耕作方式,进行有效的水资源管理,对可再生能源投资以及国际合作。因此可知,选项C“Promoting soil conservation.(促进土壤保护。)”是对抗干旱的措施。故选C项。
Passage 3(细节理解考点语篇练)
(2026·江苏省徐州市徐州一中、徐州三中月考)
To reduce carbon emissions and slow down global warming, new buildings must meet high environmental standards. In the UK, this goal has been discussed for many years, especially since the government promised to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. However, despite the urgency of the climate crisis, many new homes still lack basic energy-saving features. This situation highlights the need for stronger action to make housing development truly sustainable.
England plans to build 1.5 million new homes. But previous decisions — such as the removal of key environmental rules — have led to houses being built without essentials like solar panels. Future housing standards are expected to include solar technology, though there is uncertainty about how strict these rules will be. Experts suggest that all new homes should include solar panels, battery storage to reduce pressure on the grid (电网), and high-quality insulation (隔热) to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy bills.
Domestic heating is an even bigger challenge. While the use of renewable energy is growing, reducing dependence on fossil fuels remains critical. Unfortunately, recent decisions have allowed wood-burning stoves and may continue to permit gas boilers in new homes. However, choosing gas boilers instead of heat pumps (热泵) is harmful to the environment and economically short-sighted. Many European countries have adopted heat pump technology, which reduces carbon emissions and could create new green jobs in the UK if supported by appropriate policies.
A major issue is that large construction companies appear to have significant influence over housing policy. Developers often aim to reduce costs and maximize profits. However, long-term environmental goals are considered important. Refitting heat pumps and insulation costs far more than putting them at the beginning. Besides, some natural habitats cannot be replaced once destroyed. Sustainable housing is essential for current energy needs and for the health of the planet.
1.What does the author imply about the past efforts on sustainable housing?
A.They faced strong opposition. B.They were insufficiently carried out.
C.They were ignored by the public. D.They led to energy-saving adoption.
2.New homes in England are expected to _________.
A.reduce energy cost B.remove solar panels
C.lower battery storage D.follow flexible standards
3.Why is domestic heating considered a bigger challenge?
A.Gas boilers are cheaper to use. B.It still relies heavily on fossil fuels.
C.Solar panels require advanced technology. D.New homes lack space for heating systems.
4.What concern is raised in the last paragraph?
A.Adopting green technology is more expensive.
B.The government ignores environmental issues.
C.Cost-driven decisions may harm future sustainability.
D.Developers prefer to build homes near natural habitats.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.B 4.C

4.细节理解题。根据最后一段“A major issue is that large construction companies appear to have significant influence over housing policy. Developers often aim to reduce costs and maximize profits. However, long-term environmental goals are considered important. Refitting heat pumps and insulation costs far more than putting them at the beginning. Besides, some natural habitats cannot be replaced once destroyed. Sustainable housing is essential for current energy needs and for the health of the planet.(一个主要的问题是,大型建筑公司似乎对住房政策有着重大影响。开发商通常旨在降低成本并实现利润最大化。然而,长期的环境目标也被认为是重要的。重新安装热泵和进行隔热的成本远远高于在一开始就进行这些操作。此外,一旦自然栖息地遭到破坏,就无法恢复。可持续住房对于当前的能源需求以及地球的健康都至关重要)”可知,以成本为导向的决策可能会损害未来的可持续性。故选C。
Passage 4
(2026·广东省江门市新会区陈经纶中学月考)
As the global population continues to expand, traditional farming methods are struggling to provide enough food. However, an innovative agricultural company in Compton, Los Angeles, may have the solution. Their revolutionary farming system could transform food production, offering remarkable efficiency and sustainability.
It’s far from the storybook picture of a farm — no mud, no boots, no hens pecking in the yard. Unlike conventional farms, this high-tech facility operates without soil, heavy machinery, or pesticides. Instead, it relies on automation and advanced plant science to maximize output. Using precisely calibrated (符合标准的) LED lighting and nutrient delivery systems, the facility produces up to 350 times more yields compared to traditional farms while using just 10% of the water — and it can be replicated (复制) almost anywhere.
The entire process — from planting seeds to packaging produce — is automated. From the moment a worker tips seeds into the sowing machine, robots take over. Nearly 80 plant scientists study best growing conditions for each plant, working with over 100 engineers who translate these findings into hardware and software solutions.
“Plants are really just little software programs,” explains one of the scientists. By studying plant DNA without changing it, scientists can program qualities like growth, flavor, and nutrition. For instance, exposing plants to blue light at specific growth cycles creates leaves with a satisfying crunch at harvest. The same principles can enhance antioxidant levels in vegetables by up to 40%. Since crops never contact soil, pesticides, or human hands, they require no washing — reducing both water waste and contamination risks.
One of the greatest threats to the natural world is habitat loss due to farmland expansion. If successful, farms like this could reduce deforestation while meeting food demands. Yet the high costs — including energy-intensive artificial lighting — may block global adoption, particularly in developing nations where infrastructure is limited.
Could this be the future of agriculture? With its incredible efficiency, minimal environmental impact, and potential for worldwide replication, this high-tech farming model may soon become essential in feeding our growing world — if the challenges of scaling and affordability can be overcome.
1.What is the main feature of the innovative farming system?
A.It demands water-free technology.
B.It gets high yields with little input.
C.It is widely introduced in the world.
D.It mixes old and new farming methods.
2.What is the scientists’ major role in the process of the farming system?
A.They are gene editors. B.They are machine operators.
C.They are system monitors. D.They are plant programmers.
3.What may limit the worldwide spread of this farming system?
A.Low public acceptance. B.Great farmland loss.
C.Poor production facilities. D.High energy demands.
4.What is the author’s attitude toward the future of agriculture?

Passage 5
(2026·福建省龙岩市龙岩三校联考)
The emergence of de-inking printers represents an advancement of printing technology and paper recycling, addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. For decades, conventional printing processes have been linked to substantial paper waste, with millions of tons of paper being consumed annually — often used just once before being thrown away
The innovative de-inking printer operates through a combination of advanced technologies. Using an advanced sensor system, it first identifies the presence of ink on the surface of the paper. Subsequently, a high-intensity laser is precisely directed to target and vaporize (汽化) ink effectively, removing them without causing any damage to the paper fibers.
One of the most remarkable advantages of this technology lies in its potential to reduce overall paper consumption. By enabling the reuse of printed materials through effective ink removal it significantly reduces the demand for newly produced paper. This shift not only preserves natural resources but also plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions associated with the paper production.
From an economic perspective, the adoption of de-inking printers presents long-term financial advantages. Although the initial investment in purchasing and installing the printer may be relatively high, the long-term savings from reduced paper and ink purchases can be substantial.
However, the widespread adoption of de-inking printers is not without its challenges. The technology requires further improvements to enhance de-inking efficiency and ensure that the quality of recycled paper meets industry standards. Additionally, there exists a significant barrier in terms of user acceptance: many individuals and organizations remain accustomed to using new paper and may be reluctant to adopt recycled alternatives even when they are of comparable quality.
In conclusion, the de-inking printer stands as a ray of hope for achieving a more sustainable future within the printing industry. With continued technological advancements and growing environmental awareness, this technology has the potential to transform the industry, contributing to a more eco-friendly and resource-efficient world.
1.What is the de-inking printer aimed at?

The greening of planes, trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放). As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbons
The hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air.
CARS — Batteries
Batteries are energy-efficient and electric cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge.
TRAINS — Electricity
Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways.
TRUCKS — Hydrogen
fuel cells
Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter choice than batteries for trucks, but making green hydrogen is expensive.
SHIPS — Liquid ammonia
Liquid ammonia is easy to keep and transport, but it is hard to ignite (点燃) and requires an engine redesign.
This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
1. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?
A. 11.6%. B. 45.1%. C. 74.5%. D. 86.1%.
2. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily?
A. Planes. B. Trucks. C. Trains. D. Ships.
3. What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition?
A. Limiting fuel consumption. B. Putting more effort into renewables.
C. Improving energy efficiency. D. Making electricity more affordable.
【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B
【解析】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2018年不同交通方式的温室气体排放占比,以及飞机、汽车等各类交通工具的未来绿色燃料路径。
1. C细节理解题。根据图表信息ROAD VEHICLES部分中“ROAD (PASSENGER) 45.1% (道路(客运)45.1%)”以及“ROAD (GOODS) 29.4% (道路(货运)29.4%)”可知,道路车辆总占比为45.1%+29.4%=74.5%,即道路车辆在2018年全球交通排放中占比74.5%。故选C项。
2. C细节理解题。根据图表信息TRAINS — Electricity部分中“Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways. (一些列车已经通过轨道或电线实现了电气化;其他火车可以通过非常简单的方式实现电动化)”可知,火车相较其他交通方式更易实现绿色化。故选C项。
3. B细节理解题。根据最后一段中““We need to speed up the development of green energy and it will all get used,” says Wipke. (Wipke说:“我们需要加速绿色能源的开发,而且这些能源都会被利用起来。”)”可知,Wipke建议加大对可再生能源的投入,即加大对绿色能源的投入。故选B项。

3.(2025·全国二卷·阅读理解C)When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
8. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss.
C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well.
9. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants?
A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment.
C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity.
10. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?
A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability.
C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood
C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home

8. D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. (当Sonja Detrinidad开设她的网店售卖室内植物时,她并没有抱太大的期望。但结果却恰恰相反:订单如潮水般涌来,仅在2020年6月就寄出了1200份订单)”可知,Sonja Detrinidad刚开始开网店卖室内植物时,并没有抱太大希望,但实际情况是订单很多,生意出奇地好。故选D。
9. D细节理解题。根据第三段中的““Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”(Knuth表示:“身处植物周围的学生,其学业表现比在没有植物的教室里的学生更出色。这种效率提升同样适用于成年人的工作场合。我们的研究显示,在植物丰富的工作环境中,人们的病假率降低了 30%。”)”可知,Knuth的研究发现,接触植物的学生学业表现更好,成年人在植物丰富的工作环境中生产率提高,病假率降低,因此,“植物能提升生产率”是她的发现之一。故选D。
10. C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says. (Detrinidad说:“医生需要不断实践医术,律师需要持续精进法律实务,而养护植物同样需要给自己练习的机会。照料植物是一种培养耐心和学习的过程。要用心呵护它,但如果它枯萎了,就再养一株新的。”)”可知,Detrinidad通过类比医生和律师需要不断实践来强调“照顾植物需要反复尝试”。她认为养植物失败是正常的,重要的是持续努力。由此推断,她提到医生和律师是为了解释“重复努力的重要性”。故选C。
11. B主旨大意题。文章第一段以Detrinidad的成功为例引出室内植物行业的兴起,第二段至第三段通过Knuth的研究说明植物能通过降低皮质醇水平改善心情、提升生产率,第四段鼓励人们尝试养植物。全文核心围绕“植物对情绪和健康的积极影响”展开。选项B“Plants Boost Your Mood (植物改善你的情绪)”最能概括文章主旨,适合作为文章的标题。故选B。
4.(2025年1月·浙江卷·阅读理解D)As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
32.What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A.To reduce stereotypes. B.To meet public demand.
C.To cut production costs. D.To encourage competition.
33.What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A.Design a product. B.Respond to a survey.
C.Work as assistants. D.Take a language test.
34.Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A.They cannot be mass-produced. B.Naming them is a challenging task.
C.People assume they are unreliable. D.Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The quality of genderless products. B.The upside of gendering a product.
C.The meaning of anthropomorphism. D.The stereotypes of men and women.
【答案】32.A 33.B 34.D 35.B
【解析】本文为说明文。文章讲述了新技术呈现人类特质时人们试图使其去性别化,但性别是人们与物体建立联系的基本方式,且创造无性别物体很难,拟人化或能改变刻板印象。
32.细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,’ says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. (斯坦福大学组织行为学副教授阿什利·马丁说:“人们以非常传统的方式对有性别的物品形成刻板印象。”完全去除物品的性别似乎是解决这个问题的简单方法)”可知,人们对有性别的物品存在刻板印象,让新技术无性别化的目的是减少这种刻板印象。故选A项。
33.细节理解题。根据第二段中“In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self driving car known as ‘Miuu.’ (在她的研究中,马丁让参与者对数字语音助手和名为‘Miuu’的自动驾驶汽车的男性、女性和无性别版本的喜爱程度进行评分)”可知,参与者被要求对不同版本的产品进行评价,这类似于对调查做出回应。故选B项。
34.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a ‘he’ or ‘she.’ (马丁的研究还发现,创造无性别对象很困难。例如,如果一个物品的名字听起来是无性别化的,比如Miuu,参与者仍然会给它赋予一个性别——他们会认为Miuu是‘他’或‘她’)”可知,因为性别观念根深蒂固在人们的脑海中,所以即使物品本身试图设计成无性别,人们还是会赋予其性别,这导致创造无性别对象很困难。故选D项。
35.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) ‘provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.’ (然而,马丁看到了一线希望:她认为拟人化‘提供了改变刻板印象的机会’)”以及后文所举的例子可知,最后一段主要讲了赋予产品性别有积极的一面,即可以通过拟人化改变刻板印象。故选B项。
5.(2025年天津第二次卷·阅读理解B)
My great grandmother received the dollhouse (玩具小屋) from a family friend back in the late 1800s. It was then passed down from generation to generation. I was seven when I discovered it underneath the tree on Christmas morning.
In our house, Mom set up a sewing area. I sat at her sewing machine, my feet barely reaching the presser foot. Mom bent over me, her hands on mine, gently guiding small bits of cloth under the needle to create dollhouse bedding. She also taught me to make mini-blankets. With a little paint and glue, Mom demonstrated that anything could be turned into dollhouse furniture. I learnt to view the world as a place of possibility. I spent hours of my girlhood sitting before my dollhouse, telling made-up stories, and creating miniatures (缩微模型). But eventually school activities took over, and the dollhouse was moved to the attic (阁楼).
Over the next 40 years, the storytelling skills I’d practiced with the dollhouse grew into novel writing skills, and I developed a career as an author. One day, after hours of working on my fourth book, I took a break by surfing the Internet and happened to notice the beautiful dollhouses people posted on social media. They reminded me of mine. I went to the attic, brought it back to my room and started updating it.
During the mindless hours of sewing and furnishing (布置家具), I listened to audiobooks about the history of dollhouses, learning that they were not invented for play. There’s a long, rich history of people in hardship turning to dollhouses to find comfort. They weren’t produced as toys until mass production became standard after 1945. This inspired me to create a novel where art saves the day.
The truth was I myself needed art to save the day. Mom was then slipping away from me owing to progressive memory loss. The only topic we could discuss with any genuine joy was the update of the dollhouse. She loved retelling its history — those old memories. Mom didn’t find it strange at all that her 50-year-old daughter was updating the dollhouse. She just thought it fun and beautiful. And it was. It was a world where Mom and I were at our best together.
41.What did the author’s mother teach her to do?
A.To sew and create miniatures.
B.To add imaginary figures to the dollhouse.
C.To make up fairy tales set in the dollhouse.
D.To do oil paintings and glue them onto the little walls.
42.Why did the author decide to update the dollhouse decades later?
A.She intended to follow the trend on social media.
B.She was eager to start a new career as a toy designer.
C.She felt the urge to compete with other dollhouse makers.
D.She was inspired by people sharing their dollhouses online.
43.What did the author learn about dollhouses from the audiobooks?
A.They were initially created for play.
B.People once sought comfort in them.
C.Rich people sold them for money during difficult times.
D.A uniform standard for their production was set in 1945.
【答案】41.A 42.D 43.B 44.C 45.C
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与玩具小屋之间的故事,包括其来源、作者小时候与母亲一起制作玩具小屋内的物品、长大后因玩具小屋而走上写作道路,以及多年后因母亲记忆力衰退而重新更新玩具小屋,并在此过程中与母亲共度美好时光的经历。
41.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Mom bent over me, her hands on mine, gently guiding small bits of cloth under the needle to create dollhouse bedding. She also taught me to make mini-blankets. With a little paint and glue, Mom demonstrated that anything could be turned into dollhouse furniture. (妈妈俯身在我身上,双手放在我的手上,轻轻地把小块布料引到针下,做成玩具小屋的床上用品。她还教我制作迷你毯子。妈妈用一点颜料和胶水向我展示,任何东西都可以变成玩具小屋的家具。)”可知,作者的妈妈教她缝纫和制作微型物品。故选A项。
42.细节理解题。根据第三段中“One day, after hours of working on my fourth book, I took a break by surfing the Internet and happened to notice the beautiful dollhouses people posted on social media. They reminded me of mine. I went to the attic, brought it back to my room and started updating it. (一天,在写了四个小时的第四本书后,我上网休息了一下,碰巧注意到人们在社交媒体上发布的漂亮的玩具小屋。它们让我想起了我的玩具小屋。我去了阁楼,把它带回我的房间,开始更新它。)”可知,作者决定更新玩具小屋是因为她在网上看到人们分享他们的玩具小屋,这让她想起了自己的玩具小屋。故选D项。
43.细节理解题。根据第四段中“During the mindless hours of sewing and furnishing (布置家具), I listened to audiobooks about the history of dollhouses, learning that they were not invented for play. There’s a long, rich history of people in hardship turning to dollhouses to find comfort. (在无意识地缝纫和布置家具的几个小时里,我听了一些关于玩具小屋历史的有声书,了解到它们并不是为了玩而发明的。人们在困境中求助于玩具小屋以寻求安慰,有着悠久而丰富的历史。)”可知,作者从有声书中了解到人们曾经在玩具小屋中寻求安慰。故选B项。
6.(2025年天津第二次卷·阅读理解C)
All animals take in oxygen from the air they breathe in, and release CO₂ from their blood when breathing out. Most mammals (哺乳动物) can’t directly detect oxygen levels in the blood supplied to their tissues. Instead, they rely on the rising level of CO₂ in their blood to signal that they might need to take a breath. But a recent study published in Science suggests seals (海豹) can sense the amount of oxygen in the blood, and change their diving behavior in response.
To find out if oxygen levels affected seal behavior, Professor McKnight at the University of St. Andrews and his colleagues created a special section in a pool where young seals were held. In one corner, there was a breathing chamber (呼吸室), where they were sheltered from the rain and the wind.
The breathing chamber was surrounded by panels that prevented surface swimming, yet swimming below the surface for about 200 feet would give the seals access to a feeder where they could eat as much fish as they liked. Once the seals got familiar with the setup, the researchers started to gradually change the composition of the air in the breathing chamber, increasing or reducing the levels of oxygen and CO₂ to see an effect on their behavior. Sure enough: the higher the level of oxygen, the longer the seals stayed at the feeder.
The finding suggests that seals don’t just physically respond to oxygen levels by changing their heart rate or breathing, but that they are sufficiently aware of them to change their behavior. This ability would put seals in a class beyond any land mammals that have been tested. Since oxygen levels on land remain stable, humans don’t seem to have evolved (演化) to notice low blood oxygen levels, sometimes not even when they’re about to pass out in free-diving.
Therefore, in free-diving without oxygen tanks, accidents are quite common. Our reliance on sensing CO₂ levels in our blood instead of oxygen may be to blame. Actually, this is a perfectly reasonable strategy on land, where growing CO₂ tends to signal breathing issues. But when holding our breath during diving, relying on CO₂ levels is risky, especially on repeated dives. Because every time we surface and breathe in, our sensitivity to CO₂ is decreased, even if its levels are already high, and this increases the chance that a person will, without awareness, pass out before they get to the surface.
46.What do most mammals rely on to determine when to take a breath?
A.The growing amount of CO₂ in their blood.
B.The rising level of oxygen in their lungs.
C.The intensity of their physical activity.
D.The blood supply to body tissues.
47.When would the seals stay at the feeder for a longer period of time?
A.When they needed to take in more food at the feeder.
B.When the oxygen level in the chamber grew higher.
C.When they familiarized themselves with the setup.
D.When the CO₂ level in the chamber was raised.
48.What results in humans’ inability to notice low oxygen levels in their blood?
A.The unstable CO₂ levels in the air.
B.Their lack of attention to breathing.
C.The constant oxygen levels on land.
D.Their functionally changeable heart rate.
49.Why do accidents often occur when divers go free-diving?
A.Their breath cannot be held long enough.
B.They cannot adjust the consumption of oxygen.
C.They may fail to notice rising CO₂ levels soon enough.
D.Their breathing organs stop working properly underwater.
50.Which statement is probably supported by McKnight’s seal research?
A.Seals have evolved to survive in low oxygen environments.
B.Seals are quick to sense oxygen levels and act accordingly.
C.Seals can maintain their heart rate even with low blood oxygen levels.
D.Seals are more sensitive to changes in the environment than other mammals.
【答案】46.A 47.B 48.C 49.C 50.B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了海豹能感知血液中氧气量并据此改变潜水行为,人类则因陆地氧气稳定未演化出此能力。
46.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Most mammals (哺乳动物) can’t directly detect oxygen levels in the blood supplied to their tissues. Instead, they rely on the rising level of CO₂ in their blood to signal that they might need to take a breath.(大多数哺乳动物不能直接检测供应给组织的血液中的氧气水平。相反,它们依靠血液中二氧化碳水平的上升来发出可能需要呼吸的信号)”可知,大多数哺乳动物依靠血液中二氧化碳含量的上升来判断何时呼吸。故选A。
47.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Once the seals got familiar with the setup, the researchers started to gradually change the composition of the air in the breathing chamber, increasing or reducing the levels of oxygen and CO₂ to see an effect on their behavior. Sure enough: the higher the level of oxygen, the longer the seals stayed at the feeder.(一旦海豹熟悉了这种设置,研究人员开始逐渐改变呼吸室中空气的成分,增加或减少氧气和二氧化碳的水平,以观察对其行为的影响。果然如此:氧气水平越高,海豹在喂食器停留的时间就越长)”可知,当呼吸室中的氧气水平升高时,海豹会在喂食器停留更长时间。故选B。
48.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Since oxygen levels on land remain stable, humans don’t seem to have evolved (演化) to notice low blood oxygen levels, sometimes not even when they’ re about to pass out in free-diving.(由于陆地上的氧气水平保持稳定,人类似乎没有进化出注意到血液中低氧水平的能力,有时甚至在自由潜水即将昏倒时也没有)”可知,人类无法察觉血液中低氧水平是因为陆地上氧气水平稳定。故选C。
49.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Because every time we surface and breathe in, our sensitivity to CO₂ is decreased, even if its levels are already high, and this increases the chance that a person will, without awareness, pass out before they get to the surface.(因为每次我们浮出水面吸气时,我们对二氧化碳的敏感性都会降低,即使其水平已经很高,这也会增加一个人在浮出水面之前无意识地昏倒的可能性)”可知,潜水员在自由潜水时经常发生事故是因为他们可能没有及时注意到二氧化碳水平的上升。故选C。
50.推理判断题。根据第一段中“But a recent study published in Science suggests seals (海豹) can sense the amount of oxygen in the blood,and change their diving behavior in response.(但最近发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究表明,海豹可以感知血液中的氧气量,并相应地改变它们的潜水行为)”和第四段中“The finding suggests that seals don’t just physically respond to oxygen levels by changing their heart rate or breathing, but that they are sufficiently aware of them to change their behavior.(这一发现表明,海豹不仅仅是通过改变心率或呼吸来对氧气水平做出身体反应,而是它们对氧气水平有足够的意识来改变它们的行为)”可知,McKnight的海豹研究表明,海豹能迅速感知氧气水平并据此采取行动。故选B。

1.【注重图表题的识别及信息获取】(2026·内蒙古部分学校高三联考)When it comes to tackling climate change, the focus tends to be on “clean energy” solutions. Indeed, energy, whether in the form of electricity, heat or transport, account for the majority — about 74% — of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. But the global food system is also a key contributor to emissions, responsible for 26% of global total GHG emissions. Here’s the breakdown of food’s share of total emissions in 2018, along with a detailed look at each source.
Reducing emissions from food production will be one of our greatest challenges in the coming decades. Unlike many aspects of energy production where practical low-carbon options such as renewables or nuclear power are available, the ways in which we can decarbonize agriculture are less clear. Much is still to be settled, but here are some potential solutions to get us going green.
Potential solutions
Dietary changes
Changing what we eat effectively cuts food-related emissions. Shifting to a more plant-based diet and reducing carbon-intensive foods’ intake help significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions from the food system.
Agroecological practices
By limiting reliance on artificial fertilizers and pesticides and encouraging natural ecological processes, agroecology (AE) not only reduces the environmental footprint of agriculture but also increases the adaptability of agricultural systems to climatic risks.
Innovative technologies
Digital tools such as connected sensors and drones enable real-time crop monitoring and targeted treatment, improving water and nutrient use while reducing unnecessary agricultural inputs.
21.What percentage of global emissions did Livestock & fisheries account for in 2018?
A.4.7%. B.8.1%. C.27%. D.31%.
22.What can we know about the potential solutions?
A.Switching to a completely vegan diet is a must.
B.Using drones makes farming less cost-efficient.
C.Prohibiting chemical inputs entirely is necessary.
D.Adopting AE helps farms deal with the elements.
23.Which section of a website is the text most likely from?
A.Food Safety. B.Emerging Tech. C.Climate Action. D.Sustainable Fisheries.

Composting (堆肥制造) at Home
What Is Composting?
Composting is the managed, oxygen-requiring biological decomposition of organic materials by microorganisms. Organic (carbon-based) materials include grasses, leaves, yard and tree cuttings, and food waste. The end product is compost, a soil conditioner that can provide nutrients to plants. Microorganisms feed on the materials added to the compost pile during composting. They use carbon and nitrogen (氮) to grow and reproduce, water to digest materials, and oxygen to breathe.
Why Is Composting at Home Important?
Composting is nature’s way of recycling. We can get a beneficial, value-added soil conditioner and use it to protect the environment.
Decrease Greenhouse Gas Emissions (排放)Composting reduces emissions by keeping wasted food out of landfills and offsetting the need for some chemical substances.
Trap CarbonCompost makes carbon stay in the soil instead of being released into the air directly.
Benefits of Composting
Build Flood & Drought Adaptability Compost enables the soil to better absorb and hold water, helping to reduce flooding in heavy rains and maintain water during droughts.
Enrich SoilCompost enhances soil health and plant growth; it slowly discharges and preserves nutrients in the soil, reducing nutrient runoff and protecting water quality.
What to Add to a Backyard Compost Pile?
1.What do we know about composting?
A.It takes place without oxygen. B.It needs microorganisms’ involvement.
C.It breaks down waste with carbon. D.It starts with a special soil conditioner.
2.What can compost help us do?
A.Improve poor soil. B.Prevent flooding.
C.Reduce food waste. D.Store carbon in the air.
3.How much carbon material is needed to build a 200 kg compost pile?
A.20kg. B.60kg. C.120kg. D.180kg.
4.(2026·江苏省南京市高三期中)A recent survey conducted by an online magazine sought to measure public perception on the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the job market. The questionnaire gathered insights from diverse groups, including high school students, office professionals, assembly line workers, educators, etc.
A total of 500 people participated in the study. The findings are illustrated in the accompanying pie chart:

The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens
Don’t let the “library” part of the name trick you into thinking this is only a bookish destination: The Huntington, a cultural institution in San Marino, California, is by far the most beautiful botanical garden in the region, with museum collections that you absolutely shouldn’t miss. Once the estate of railroad tycoon (大亨) Henry E. Huntington, it’s now a must-visit attraction that can easily occupy an entire day — best enjoyed at a leisurely pace with a break for afternoon tea in the rose garden.
The library includes an early copy of Shakespeare’s Hamlet and correspondences from the Founding Fathers, while the luxurious central residence houses European artworks, including Thomas Gainsborough’s The Blue Boy, which the institution restored in recent years. Nearby large galleries house the American art collection, including Arts and Crafts furniture and a growing number of contemporary pieces. The gardens themselves are practically pieces of art, too, most notably the hilly Japanese garden (now home to a three-century-old rural house) and the impressive Chinese garden, where bridges and pavilions (亭子) encircle a water lily-filled lake — though the otherworldly desert garden is also a personal favorite.
What’s On: Roses and orchids are in bloom (开花) through December. Indoors, the exhibition series “Stories From the Library” looks at Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and the urban planning of early Los Angeles. And potter Edmund de Waal recently presented three site-specific art pieces throughout the grounds. Address: 1151 Oxford Road, San Marino, CA 91108

While you do the dishes or drive to work, your mind is likely not on the task at hand; perhaps you’re composing a grocery list or daydreaming about retiring in Italy. But research published in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests you might be taking in more than you think.
In the study, participants practiced a simple task in which they pressed keyboard buttons corresponding to the direction of arrows that lit up on a screen. But there were patterns hidden within the task that the participants were unaware of — and they learned these patterns without consciously noticing them. The researchers found that when participants reported letting their minds wander, they adapted to the task’s hidden patterns significantly faster.
“This is an exciting and important piece of work, especially because the authors chose a non-demanding task to check how mind wandering would affect performance and learning,” says Athena Demertzi from the University of Liège in Belgium. Previous related research focused more on long and demanding tasks, she says — on which being distracted is typically shown to have a negative effect.
But the results are not clear-cut, says Jonathan Smallwood, a psychology researcher at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. “I don’t think that this means the mind-wandering episodes themselves cause implicit learning (内隐学习) to occur,” he says. “Rather, both emerge at the same time when people go into a particular state. This makes the conclusion less certain and open to other interpretations.” Neither Smallwood nor Demertzi was involved in the new study.
Using EEG recordings, the team found that during the test periods, participants’ brains produced more of the slow waves that are dominant during sleep. “Perhaps mind wandering is like a form of light sleep that provides some of that state’s learning benefits,” says Péter Simor, lead author of the recent study.
To better understand whether mind wandering might make up for lost sleep, Simor and his colleagues next plan to study sleep loss.
1.What are the key findings of the new study?
A.Mind wandering greatly disturbs the learning process.
B.People can learn hidden patterns unconsciously.
C.People learn hidden patterns faster when their minds wander.
D.Daydreaming has a negative impact on performing demanding tasks.
2.Why does Athena Demertzi describe the new study as “exciting”?
A.It proves the findings of previous research on demanding tasks.
B.It chooses a novel angle characterized by non-demanding tasks.
C.It employs a unique research method involving demanding tasks.
D.It offers a solution to mind wandering on non-demanding tasks.
3.What does the underlined word “clear-cut” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Confusing. B.Definite. C.Complex. D.Amazing.
4.What will the researchers probably do next according to the passage?
A.Apply the findings to addressing sleep issues.
B.Develop new methods to prevent mind wandering.
C.Study the reasons for a lack of sleep.
D.Research the effect of mind wandering on sleep loss.

Surprisingly, I’m writing this on a social media platform to explain how these apps consumed what should have been my best 15 years. I was in 7th or 8th grade when a relative introduced me to Facebook. The idea of sending a message immediately without paying for a text was mind-blowing. Games like City Ville were addictive, and unknowingly, I was swept into a digital wave.
I grew up in a small town in Madhya Pradesh, a state located in India’s heartland — a place that, even now, goes largely unnoticed. As a young boy, having a desktop computer at home was a special advantage, and I was lucky to have one, thanks to my parents. Soon, everyone had Facebook. Our town, with poor roads and power cuts, suddenly had teenagers glued to screens.
At 13 or 14, I wasn’t especially good-looking: something my classmates never let me forget. Seeing others share romantic stories left me feeling less confident. These comparisons were my first social media-caused insecurities. As years passed, apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Snapchat took over. I felt the need to post, even when unhappy, to create a false image of a perfect life. I hoped badly for attention from strangers while ignoring those who genuinely cared. Daily check-ins on Snapchat mattered more than college assignments. My attention duration became shorter; reading for 15 minutes became difficult.
I’ve also seen people use social media as an excuse to avoid responsibility — something I once did too. I saw friends scroll endlessly during every free moment. I didn’t judge — I was the same. Social media was my escape.
Six months ago, I decided to quit. The first 10 days were extremely hard. I had 3-4 extra hours daily and no idea what to do. Then came the math: 3 to 4 hours a day for years — more than 18,000 hours — time wasted on something that only fueled my insecurities, and time I’ll never get back. So, I leave you with this: Choose wisely.

A dog acting aggressively (攻击性地)at the park and a student dealing with low mood while doing well in school may seem unrelated, but new research says they could share similar genetic roots. Scientists studied over 1,000 golden retrievers, a kind of dog, and found that many genes influencing dog behavior also shape human personality, intelligence, and emotional health. Published in a leading science journal, this finding challenges simple ideas about what drives behavior in both species.
Golden retrievers that did well in training had special versions of genes called ROMO1 and ADGRL2. In humans, ROMO1 is linked to intelligence and how well people learn and think, while ADGRL2 is linked to emotional sensitivity and getting annoyed easily. This means trainable dogs might be smarter and more emotionally aware, not just more willing to follow orders. This matters for programs that train service dogs. Many rely heavily on food rewards to shape behavior. But if trainability is really about problem-solving ability, programs might be better off selecting dogs based on cognitive (认知)tests rather than just how eagerly they go after treats.
The strongest genetic similarities were in fear-related behaviors. Dogs afraid of loud noises, strangers, or other dogs had variants (变体)in genes like ACC3 and PRDX1. In humans, these genes are tied to anxiety, depression, and mood changes. This shows a dog hiding during a thunderstorm might feel something close to human anxiety. Owners of such dogs may need more than just training — changing their environment to reduce stress or even medication in serious cases could help.
Of course, genes don’t determine everything. Training, early life experiences, and environment still play big roles. The research relied on owner-reported questionnaires rather than direct observation of dog behavior, which introduces subjectivity in how owners perceive their pets. Environmental factors like training methods, household dynamics, and life experiences varied widely and could influence behavior. The study included only golden retrievers aged 3 to 7 years, so results may not apply to other dogs.
1.What did scientists find about dogs and humans?
A.They shape their actions by training.
B.Their origins in intelligence are identical.
C.They don’t have the same emotional genes.
D.Their behaviors have similar genetic roots.
2.What characteristics do trainable dogs have?

You’ve just finished studying for an important exam. Instead of checking your phone, you listen to music for 10 minutes. New research says this simple choice can greatly change what your brain remembers and what it forgets.
Study co-authors Kayla Clark from Rice University and Stephanie Leal from UCLA have discovered something that changes what we thought about music and memory. Their study reveals that music played shortly after learning doesn’t simply help or hurt memory. Instead, it creates a trade-off: the same music that helps you remember the big picture might make you forget important details, while music that preserves fine details could blur (模糊) your overall understanding.
The research recruited 130 college students for a memory experiment with everyday household objects. Participants first looked at 128 images and sorted them as “indoor” or “outdoor” items. This simple task helped them remember the images. Right after that, participants were divided into two groups. The first group listened to classical music which was rich in emotional variety. Another group heard flat and featureless sounds. 30 minutes later, everyone took a memory test.
People in the first group who became much more motivated by the music did better on the general memory test. They easily recognized items they’d seen before. But they struggled with detailed memory, often mistaking similar-looking items for ones they’d definitely seen. While people in the second group showed the opposite pattern. Their general memory got worse, but their detailed memory improved dramatically.
The findings may have medical applications. Music therapy (疗法) is increasingly used for patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Rather than using the same approach for everyone, doctors might need to choose specific musical interventions based on whether they want to support general memory or detailed recall.
In a word, music isn’t simply good or bad for memory. It’s a tool that can be adjusted to boost specific types of thinking. The challenge now is learning to use that tool intentionally rather than by accident.
1.How were the students grouped after remembering the images?
A.By their memory abilities. B.By their interest in music.
C.By the content they listened to. D.By their emotional responses.
2.Why did people in the first group do better on the general memory test?

Shared mobility: Making travel easier for all
In many big cities in Europe and the US, it might seem like we’ve achieved cheap and easy mobility for everyone — just use your phone to find shared e-bikes and electric cars. But if you’re elderly, living in a low-income area or imagine without a smartphone or credit card, using these shared services becomes much more difficult. Here is a survey reporting barriers to using bike sharing.
Shared mobility could be a key part of a more sustainable transportation system. But to be most effective, it needs to include everyone. For-profit shared mobility providers have largely failed to deliver on this, but various initiatives and projects are finding creative solutions to reach underserved communities.
By combining economic support, grassroots innovation, and empathetic (能产生共鸣的) design, these efforts aim to make mobility available to everyone, reduce reliance on private vehicles, and ensure fair access for all. “You tend to plan for what you know. That’s why it’s so important to bring in different views in the development of mobility, ” says Lina Mosshammer, founder and CEO of the Austrian mobility consulting company Point&.
1.What percentage of lower income people express concern on safety in the survey?
A.24%. B.27%. C.42%. D.88%.
2.Which solution involves the idea of recycling used bikes?
A.Public-Sector Intervention. B.Community-Centric Design.
C.Technology Adaptation. D.Non-Profit Innovation.
3.What does Mosshammer stress to address the challenge?
A.Increasing urban mobility. B.Offering affordable alternatives.
C.Integrating diverse viewpoints. D.Consulting with the users beforehand.

Chocolate is a popular snack, but the price of it continues to rise. Cocoa from the cacao tree is the basic ingredient of chocolate; the trees thrive in warm and damp climates but are struggling due to increasing aridity — a slow but non-stop drying of the land. This issue extends to producers around the globe, threatening cocoa production and livelihoods of farmers.
Over the past 30 years, more than three-quarters of the Earth’s landmass has become drier. This dryness is a long-term transformation with disastrous consequences for ecosystems, agriculture, and livelihoods.
Aridity arises from human-driven factors, including greenhouse gas emissions, unsustainable land use, and natural resource degradation. Climate change, primarily caused by fossil fuel consumption and deforestation, increases global temperatures, accelerating evaporation (蒸发) and heightening water shortage — even in regions with moderate rainfall.
Unsustainable land use further intensifies aridity. Practices like deforestation and industrial farming degrade soils, removing them from protective vegetation and essential nutrients. In cocoa-producing regions, deforestation upsets local water cycles and wears away the topsoil. Degraded soils hold less water, deepening drought conditions.
Cocoa is just one crop at risk. Major agricultural zones are also affected. By 2100, up to 5 billion people may live in dry lands, stretching food systems to their limit and forcing migration. Aridity also threatens ecosystems. Wildlife struggles to adapt, and plant species suited to warm and damp conditions fail to survive. Economic losses are overwhelming — Africa saw a 12% GDP decline from 1990 to 2015 due to rising aridity. Governments face additional burdens from sandstorms, wildfires, and water shortages.
While aridity’s effects are severe, they are not entirely changeless. Restoring degraded lands, improving soil health, and adopting sustainable farming practices can help. Efficient water management, investment in renewable energy, and international cooperation are essential in battling aridity.
As chocolate prices hit record highs in early 2025 due to dry conditions in Africa, addressing aridity is a matter of urgency. Beyond saving chocolate, it’s about preserving the planet’s ability to sustain life.
1.What’s the main reason for the rising price of chocolate?
A.The decline of cocoa production. B.The high cost of basic ingredients.
C.The increasing demand for chocolate. D.The shortage of cocoa tree plantations.
2.What do we know about aridity?
A.It is mainly caused by natural factors.
B.It only affects cocoa-producing regions.
C.It has a wide-ranging impact on various aspects.
D.It will disappear if sustainable land use is adopted.
3.Why is Africa’s GDP decline mentioned in paragraph 5?
A.To show aridity only causes economic losses in Africa.
B.To prove Africa is the most severely affected by aridity.
C.To criticize Africa lacks effective measures against aridity.
D.To illustrate aridity has a significant influence on economy.
4.Which of the following can fight against aridity?
A.Cutting off water supplies. B.Replacing renewable energy.
C.Promoting soil conservation. D.Practicing industrial farming.

To reduce carbon emissions and slow down global warming, new buildings must meet high environmental standards. In the UK, this goal has been discussed for many years, especially since the government promised to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. However, despite the urgency of the climate crisis, many new homes still lack basic energy-saving features. This situation highlights the need for stronger action to make housing development truly sustainable.
England plans to build 1.5 million new homes. But previous decisions — such as the removal of key environmental rules — have led to houses being built without essentials like solar panels. Future housing standards are expected to include solar technology, though there is uncertainty about how strict these rules will be. Experts suggest that all new homes should include solar panels, battery storage to reduce pressure on the grid (电网), and high-quality insulation (隔热) to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy bills.
Domestic heating is an even bigger challenge. While the use of renewable energy is growing, reducing dependence on fossil fuels remains critical. Unfortunately, recent decisions have allowed wood-burning stoves and may continue to permit gas boilers in new homes. However, choosing gas boilers instead of heat pumps (热泵) is harmful to the environment and economically short-sighted. Many European countries have adopted heat pump technology, which reduces carbon emissions and could create new green jobs in the UK if supported by appropriate policies.
A major issue is that large construction companies appear to have significant influence over housing policy. Developers often aim to reduce costs and maximize profits. However, long-term environmental goals are considered important. Refitting heat pumps and insulation costs far more than putting them at the beginning. Besides, some natural habitats cannot be replaced once destroyed. Sustainable housing is essential for current energy needs and for the health of the planet.
1.What does the author imply about the past efforts on sustainable housing?
A.They faced strong opposition. B.They were insufficiently carried out.
C.They were ignored by the public. D.They led to energy-saving adoption.
2.New homes in England are expected to _________.
A.reduce energy cost B.remove solar panels
C.lower battery storage D.follow flexible standards
3.Why is domestic heating considered a bigger challenge?
A.Gas boilers are cheaper to use. B.It still relies heavily on fossil fuels.
C.Solar panels require advanced technology. D.New homes lack space for heating systems.
4.What concern is raised in the last paragraph?
A.Adopting green technology is more expensive.
B.The government ignores environmental issues.
C.Cost-driven decisions may harm future sustainability.
D.Developers prefer to build homes near natural habitats.

As the global population continues to expand, traditional farming methods are struggling to provide enough food. However, an innovative agricultural company in Compton, Los Angeles, may have the solution. Their revolutionary farming system could transform food production, offering remarkable efficiency and sustainability.
It’s far from the storybook picture of a farm — no mud, no boots, no hens pecking in the yard. Unlike conventional farms, this high-tech facility operates without soil, heavy machinery, or pesticides. Instead, it relies on automation and advanced plant science to maximize output. Using precisely calibrated (符合标准的) LED lighting and nutrient delivery systems, the facility produces up to 350 times more yields compared to traditional farms while using just 10% of the water — and it can be replicated (复制) almost anywhere.
The entire process — from planting seeds to packaging produce — is automated. From the moment a worker tips seeds into the sowing machine, robots take over. Nearly 80 plant scientists study best growing conditions for each plant, working with over 100 engineers who translate these findings into hardware and software solutions.
“Plants are really just little software programs,” explains one of the scientists. By studying plant DNA without changing it, scientists can program qualities like growth, flavor, and nutrition. For instance, exposing plants to blue light at specific growth cycles creates leaves with a satisfying crunch at harvest. The same principles can enhance antioxidant levels in vegetables by up to 40%. Since crops never contact soil, pesticides, or human hands, they require no washing — reducing both water waste and contamination risks.
One of the greatest threats to the natural world is habitat loss due to farmland expansion. If successful, farms like this could reduce deforestation while meeting food demands. Yet the high costs — including energy-intensive artificial lighting — may block global adoption, particularly in developing nations where infrastructure is limited.
Could this be the future of agriculture? With its incredible efficiency, minimal environmental impact, and potential for worldwide replication, this high-tech farming model may soon become essential in feeding our growing world — if the challenges of scaling and affordability can be overcome.

Passage 5
(2026·福建省龙岩市龙岩三校联考)
The emergence of de-inking printers represents an advancement of printing technology and paper recycling, addressing one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. For decades, conventional printing processes have been linked to substantial paper waste, with millions of tons of paper being consumed annually — often used just once before being thrown away
The innovative de-inking printer operates through a combination of advanced technologies. Using an advanced sensor system, it first identifies the presence of ink on the surface of the paper. Subsequently, a high-intensity laser is precisely directed to target and vaporize (汽化) ink effectively, removing them without causing any damage to the paper fibers.
One of the most remarkable advantages of this technology lies in its potential to reduce overall paper consumption. By enabling the reuse of printed materials through effective ink removal it significantly reduces the demand for newly produced paper. This shift not only preserves natural resources but also plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions associated with the paper production.
From an economic perspective, the adoption of de-inking printers presents long-term financial advantages. Although the initial investment in purchasing and installing the printer may be relatively high, the long-term savings from reduced paper and ink purchases can be substantial.
However, the widespread adoption of de-inking printers is not without its challenges. The technology requires further improvements to enhance de-inking efficiency and ensure that the quality of recycled paper meets industry standards. Additionally, there exists a significant barrier in terms of user acceptance: many individuals and organizations remain accustomed to using new paper and may be reluctant to adopt recycled alternatives even when they are of comparable quality.
In conclusion, the de-inking printer stands as a ray of hope for achieving a more sustainable future within the printing industry. With continued technological advancements and growing environmental awareness, this technology has the potential to transform the industry, contributing to a more eco-friendly and resource-efficient world.

The greening of planes, trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放). As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbons
The hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air.
CARS — Batteries
Batteries are energy-efficient and electric cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge.
TRAINS — Electricity
Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways.
TRUCKS — Hydrogen
fuel cells
Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter choice than batteries for trucks, but making green hydrogen is expensive.
SHIPS — Liquid ammonia
Liquid ammonia is easy to keep and transport, but it is hard to ignite (点燃) and requires an engine redesign.
This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
1. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?
A. 11.6%. B. 45.1%. C. 74.5%. D. 86.1%.
2. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily?
A. Planes. B. Trucks. C. Trains. D. Ships.
3. What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition?
A. Limiting fuel consumption. B. Putting more effort into renewables.
C. Improving energy efficiency. D. Making electricity more affordable.

But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
8. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss.
C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well.
9. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants?
A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment.
C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity.
10. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?
A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability.
C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood
C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home
4.(2025年1月·浙江卷·阅读理解D)As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
32.What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A.To reduce stereotypes. B.To meet public demand.
C.To cut production costs. D.To encourage competition.
33.What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A.Design a product. B.Respond to a survey.
C.Work as assistants. D.Take a language test.
34.Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A.They cannot be mass-produced. B.Naming them is a challenging task.
C.People assume they are unreliable. D.Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The quality of genderless products. B.The upside of gendering a product.
C.The meaning of anthropomorphism. D.The stereotypes of men and women.

My great grandmother received the dollhouse (玩具小屋) from a family friend back in the late 1800s. It was then passed down from generation to generation. I was seven when I discovered it underneath the tree on Christmas morning.
In our house, Mom set up a sewing area. I sat at her sewing machine, my feet barely reaching the presser foot. Mom bent over me, her hands on mine, gently guiding small bits of cloth under the needle to create dollhouse bedding. She also taught me to make mini-blankets. With a little paint and glue, Mom demonstrated that anything could be turned into dollhouse furniture. I learnt to view the world as a place of possibility. I spent hours of my girlhood sitting before my dollhouse, telling made-up stories, and creating miniatures (缩微模型). But eventually school activities took over, and the dollhouse was moved to the attic (阁楼).
Over the next 40 years, the storytelling skills I’d practiced with the dollhouse grew into novel writing skills, and I developed a career as an author. One day, after hours of working on my fourth book, I took a break by surfing the Internet and happened to notice the beautiful dollhouses people posted on social media. They reminded me of mine. I went to the attic, brought it back to my room and started updating it.
During the mindless hours of sewing and furnishing (布置家具), I listened to audiobooks about the history of dollhouses, learning that they were not invented for play. There’s a long, rich history of people in hardship turning to dollhouses to find comfort. They weren’t produced as toys until mass production became standard after 1945. This inspired me to create a novel where art saves the day.
The truth was I myself needed art to save the day. Mom was then slipping away from me owing to progressive memory loss. The only topic we could discuss with any genuine joy was the update of the dollhouse. She loved retelling its history — those old memories. Mom didn’t find it strange at all that her 50-year-old daughter was updating the dollhouse. She just thought it fun and beautiful. And it was. It was a world where Mom and I were at our best together.
41.What did the author’s mother teach her to do?
A.To sew and create miniatures.
B.To add imaginary figures to the dollhouse.
C.To make up fairy tales set in the dollhouse.
D.To do oil paintings and glue them onto the little walls.
42.Why did the author decide to update the dollhouse decades later?
A.She intended to follow the trend on social media.
B.She was eager to start a new career as a toy designer.
C.She felt the urge to compete with other dollhouse makers.
D.She was inspired by people sharing their dollhouses online.
43.What did the author learn about dollhouses from the audiobooks?
A.They were initially created for play.
B.People once sought comfort in them.
C.Rich people sold them for money during difficult times.
D.A uniform standard for their production was set in 1945.

All animals take in oxygen from the air they breathe in, and release CO₂ from their blood when breathing out. Most mammals (哺乳动物) can’t directly detect oxygen levels in the blood supplied to their tissues. Instead, they rely on the rising level of CO₂ in their blood to signal that they might need to take a breath. But a recent study published in Science suggests seals (海豹) can sense the amount of oxygen in the blood, and change their diving behavior in response.
To find out if oxygen levels affected seal behavior, Professor McKnight at the University of St. Andrews and his colleagues created a special section in a pool where young seals were held. In one corner, there was a breathing chamber (呼吸室), where they were sheltered from the rain and the wind.
The breathing chamber was surrounded by panels that prevented surface swimming, yet swimming below the surface for about 200 feet would give the seals access to a feeder where they could eat as much fish as they liked. Once the seals got familiar with the setup, the researchers started to gradually change the composition of the air in the breathing chamber, increasing or reducing the levels of oxygen and CO₂ to see an effect on their behavior. Sure enough: the higher the level of oxygen, the longer the seals stayed at the feeder.
The finding suggests that seals don’t just physically respond to oxygen levels by changing their heart rate or breathing, but that they are sufficiently aware of them to change their behavior. This ability would put seals in a class beyond any land mammals that have been tested. Since oxygen levels on land remain stable, humans don’t seem to have evolved (演化) to notice low blood oxygen levels, sometimes not even when they’re about to pass out in free-diving.
Therefore, in free-diving without oxygen tanks, accidents are quite common. Our reliance on sensing CO₂ levels in our blood instead of oxygen may be to blame. Actually, this is a perfectly reasonable strategy on land, where growing CO₂ tends to signal breathing issues. But when holding our breath during diving, relying on CO₂ levels is risky, especially on repeated dives. Because every time we surface and breathe in, our sensitivity to CO₂ is decreased, even if its levels are already high, and this increases the chance that a person will, without awareness, pass out before they get to the surface.
46.What do most mammals rely on to determine when to take a breath?
A.The growing amount of CO₂ in their blood.
B.The rising level of oxygen in their lungs.
C.The intensity of their physical activity.
D.The blood supply to body tissues.
47.When would the seals stay at the feeder for a longer period of time?
A.When they needed to take in more food at the feeder.
B.When the oxygen level in the chamber grew higher.
C.When they familiarized themselves with the setup.
D.When the CO₂ level in the chamber was raised.
48.What results in humans’ inability to notice low oxygen levels in their blood?
A.The unstable CO₂ levels in the air.
B.Their lack of attention to breathing.
C.The constant oxygen levels on land.
D.Their functionally changeable heart rate.
49.Why do accidents often occur when divers go free-diving?
A.Their breath cannot be held long enough.
B.They cannot adjust the consumption of oxygen.
C.They may fail to notice rising CO₂ levels soon enough.
D.Their breathing organs stop working properly underwater.
50.Which statement is probably supported by McKnight’s seal research?
A.Seals have evolved to survive in low oxygen environments.
B.Seals are quick to sense oxygen levels and act accordingly.
C.Seals can maintain their heart rate even with low blood oxygen levels.
D.Seals are more sensitive to changes in the environment than other mammals.
