Combining elements of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and blockchain, the metaverse aims to create a fully immersive digital space that mirrors the physical world. One of the key features of the metaverse is its interactivity. Users can create avatars (digital versions of themselves) to explore virtual spaces, attend meetings, play games, or even shop. For example, companies like Meta (formerly Facebook) have developed VR headsets that allow users to enter virtual offices and collaborate with colleagues from around the world, making remote work more engaging and realistic. Retail brands have also set up virtual stores in the metaverse, where customers can try on digital clothes and make purchases using cryptocurrency. The metaverse also has significant potential in education and training. Medical students can practice complex surgeries in a virtual operating room, reducing the risk of mistakes in real life. Engineers can design and test new products in a virtual environment before building physical prototypes, saving time and money. Additionally, the metaverse can provide access to education for people in remote areas, who can attend virtual classes taught by top teachers from around the globe. However, the metaverse also faces several challenges. Privacy and security are major concerns—since users share large amounts of personal data in the metaverse, there is a risk of data breaches and identity theft. There are also ethical issues, such as the potential for addiction to virtual worlds and the blurring of lines between reality and fiction. Additionally, the high cost of VR/AR equipment means that the metaverse is not yet accessible to everyone, creating a digital divide similar to that in other areas of technology. Despite these challenges, the metaverse is expected to grow rapidly in the coming years. According to a report by McKinsey, the metaverse could contribute $5 trillion to the global economy by 2030. As technology advances and becomes more affordable, the metaverse may transform how we work, learn, socialize, and do business—creating new opportunities and challenges for individuals and society as a whole. 32. What is a key feature of the metaverse? A. It is a completely separate world from the physical one. B. It offers high levels of interactivity for users. C. It only supports single-user experiences. D. It relies solely on blockchain technology. 33. How can the metaverse benefit education and training? A. It allows medical students to perform real surgeries safely. B. It reduces the cost of building physical prototypes for engineers. C. It limits educational access to only local teachers. D. It makes all educational equipment more affordable. 34.

D. Its rapid decline in popularity since 2020. 35. What does the McKinsey report predict about the metaverse? A. It will contribute $5 trillion to the global economy by 2030. B. It will replace all physical workplaces by 2030. C. It will become less accessible to ordinary people. D. It will solve all digital divide issues by 2030. 二、江苏省南通市2026届新高考基地学校第一次大联考英语试题 - 阅读D篇 Biophilic design is an approach to architecture and interior design that seeks to connect people with nature in built environments. The term was coined by biologist E.O. Wilson, who argued that humans have an innate need to interact with the natural world—a concept known as biophilia. Biophilic design incorporates natural elements, materials, and patterns into buildings to improve people's physical and mental well-being. Common elements of biophilic design include large windows that let in natural light and offer views of greenery, indoor plants, natural materials like wood and stone, water features (such as fountains), and natural color palettes (greens, blues, browns). Research has shown that these elements can have significant benefits: natural light reduces eye strain and improves sleep quality, indoor plants purify the air and reduce stress, and views of nature can boost productivity and creativity. Biophilic design is being used in a variety of settings, from offices and schools to hospitals and homes. In offices, biophilic design has been shown to reduce employee stress and increase productivity by up to 15%, according to a study by the World Green Building Council. In hospitals, patients with views of nature from their rooms have been found to recover faster from surgery and require less pain medication. In schools, classrooms with natural light and indoor plants can improve students' concentration and academic performance. Implementing biophilic design does not have to be expensive. Even small changes, such as adding potted plants to a room, using natural materials for furniture, or opening curtains to let in natural light, can have a positive impact. For larger projects, architects can design buildings with green roofs (covered in plants), living walls (vertical gardens), and outdoor spaces like courtyards or balconies that encourage interaction with nature. As people spend more time indoors—especially in urban areas—biophilic design is becoming increasingly important. It not only improves well-being but also promotes sustainability: green roofs reduce energy consumption by insulating buildings, and indoor plants improve air quality without the use of artificial filters. By bringing nature into built environments, biophilic design creates healthier, more sustainable, and more enjoyable spaces for people to live and work in. 32. What is the core idea of biophilic design? A. To build more modern and high-tech buildings. B. To separate people from nature in urban areas. C. To connect people with nature in built environments. D. To use only artificial materials in architecture. 33. What benefit of biophilic design is mentioned in the text? A. It increases the cost of building maintenance. B. It reduces employee productivity in offices. C. It helps hospital patients recover faster from surgery. D. It causes more eye strain due to natural light. 34. How can biophilic design be implemented cheaply? A. By building green roofs and living walls. B. By adding potted plants and using natural light. C. By constructing large outdoor courtyards. D. By using only expensive natural materials. 35. Why is biophilic design important in urban areas? A. People in urban areas spend more time indoors. B. Urban areas have more natural greenery than rural areas. C. It makes buildings more expensive and luxurious. D. It reduces the need for sustainable practices. 三、四川省天舟高考2026届12月高三联合质量检测英语试题 - 阅读D篇 Circular economy is an economic model that aims to eliminate waste and keep resources in use for as long as possible. Unlike the traditional linear economy (take-make-dispose), the circular economy focuses on reusing, repairing, recycling, and regenerating products and materials, creating a closed-loop system that minimizes environmental impact. There are three main principles of the circular economy: reduce, reuse, recycle (the 3Rs), and a fourth principle—regenerate—has been added in recent years. Reducing involves designing products to use fewer resources and last longer. Reusing means using products multiple times instead of throwing them away after one use (for example, using reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones). Recycling involves turning waste materials into new products, and regenerating means restoring natural systems (such as planting trees to absorb carbon dioxide). Businesses around the world are adopting circular economy practices. For example, clothing brand Patagonia encourages customers to repair their clothes instead of buying new ones and offers a recycling program for old garments. Car manufacturer Toyota uses recycled materials in its cars and has a program to recover and reuse parts from old vehicles. Food companies like Unilever are working to reduce food waste and use by-products (such as fruit peels) to make other products like cosmetics. The circular economy has many benefits. It reduces the demand for raw materials, which conserves natural resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from mining and manufacturing. It also creates new jobs in recycling, repair, and sustainable design. Additionally, it can save businesses money by reducing waste disposal costs and creating new revenue streams from recycled materials. However, transitioning to a circular economy is not easy. It requires changes in consumer behavior (such as choosing durable products over disposable ones), government policies (such as taxes on single-use plastics), and business models (such as product-as-a-service, where customers rent products instead of buying them). Despite these challenges, the circular economy is seen as a key solution to climate change and resource scarcity, and more countries and companies are committing to adopting circular economy practices in the coming decades. 32. What is the main difference between circular economy and linear economy? A. Circular economy focuses on reducing waste and reusing resources. B. Linear economy is more sustainable for the environment. C. Circular economy follows a take-make-dispose model. D. Linear economy aims to create a closed-loop system. 33. What is the "regenerate" principle of the circular economy? A. Using products multiple times instead of throwing them away. B. Turning waste materials into new products. C. Restoring natural systems like planting trees. D. Designing products to use fewer resources. 34. What example of circular economy practice is mentioned? A. Patagonia encourages customers to buy new clothes frequently. B. Toyota uses recycled materials in car production. C. Unilever throws away all food by-products as waste. D. All companies have adopted product-as-a-service models. 35. What is a challenge of transitioning to a circular economy? A. Lack of benefits for businesses and the environment. B. Easy changes in consumer behavior and government policies. C. Need for changes in consumer behavior and business models. D. Reduced demand for raw materials and natural resources. 四、天舟高考·陕晋宁青2026届高三12月联合质量检测英语试题 - 阅读D篇 Neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity, is the brain's ability to change and adapt throughout life. For many years, scientists believed that the brain stopped developing after childhood, but research in the late 20th century proved that the brain can reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, even in adulthood. There are two main types of neuroplasticity: structural and functional. Structural neuroplasticity refers to physical changes in the brain's structure, such as the growth of new neurons (brain cells) and the formation of new connections between them. Functional neuroplasticity refers to changes in how the brain functions—for example, if one part of the brain is damaged, another part can take over its functions. This is why some stroke patients can regain lost abilities through rehabilitation. Several factors can enhance neuroplasticity. Learning new skills—such as playing a musical instrument, learning a new language, or solving puzzles—stimulates the brain to form new neural connections. Physical exercise, especially aerobic exercise like running or swimming, increases blood flow to the brain and promotes the growth of new neurons. A healthy diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish and nuts) and antioxidants (found in fruits and vegetables) also supports brain plasticity. Additionally, getting enough sleep is crucial, as the brain consolidates new memories and forms new connections during sleep. Neuroplasticity has important implications for health and education. In medicine, it is used to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by helping patients rewire their brains to think in more positive ways. In education, understanding neuroplasticity means that teachers can design learning activities that stimulate brain growth, such as hands-on experiments and collaborative learning. It also helps students understand that intelligence is not fixed—with effort and practice, they can improve their abilities. While neuroplasticity decreases with age, it never completely stops. Even older adults can improve their cognitive abilities by engaging in mentally stimulating activities and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This means that it is never too late to learn new things and keep the brain active and healthy. 32. What is neuroplasticity? A. The brain's ability to stop developing after childhood. B. The brain's ability to change and adapt throughout life. C. The fixed structure and function of the adult brain. D. The damage to neural connections in the brain. 33. What is functional neuroplasticity? A. Physical growth of new neurons in the brain. B. Changes in how the brain functions to replace damaged parts. C. The reduction of blood flow to the brain during exercise. D. The loss of abilities after a stroke or brain injury. 34. Which factor can enhance neuroplasticity? A. Lack of sleep and rest for the brain. B. Learning a new language or playing a musical instrument. C. A diet low in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. D. Avoiding physical exercise to save energy for the brain. 35. What implication does neuroplasticity have for education? A. Intelligence is fixed and cannot be improved with effort. B. Teachers can design activities to stimulate brain growth. C. Students should focus on passive learning methods. D. Older students cannot improve their cognitive abilities. 五、镇海中学2026届高三首考模拟试题-英语 - 阅读D篇 Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a technology that captures carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from industrial processes and power plants, transports it to a storage site, and stores it underground permanently. CCS is seen as a key technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change, especially in industries that are hard to decarbonize, such as steel, cement, and fossil fuel power generation. The CCS process has three main steps: capture, transport, and storage. Capture involves separating CO₂ from other gases produced by industrial processes or power plants. There are three main capture technologies: post-combustion capture (capturing CO₂ after fuel is burned), pre-combustion capture (capturing CO₂ before fuel is burned), and oxy-fuel combustion (burning fuel in pure oxygen to produce a stream of CO₂ that is easy to capture). Transport is usually done via pipelines, although ships can be used for long distances. Storage involves injecting CO₂ into deep underground geological formations, such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs or saline aquifers, where it is trapped permanently. CCS has been used commercially since the 1970s, but it has gained more attention in recent years as countries aim to reach net-zero emissions. The world's largest CCS facility is the Sleipner project in Norway, which has stored more than 20 million tons of CO₂ since 1996. Other major projects include the Gorgon project in Australia and the Petra Nova project in the United States. These projects have demonstrated that CCS is a viable technology, but it is still relatively expensive compared to other low-carbon technologies like solar and wind power. There are several challenges to scaling up CCS. One major issue is cost: capturing and storing CO₂ is currently expensive, and governments often need to provide subsidies to make CCS projects economically viable. Another challenge is public acceptance: some people are concerned about the safety of storing CO₂ underground, although there have been no major accidents in the history of CCS. Additionally, CCS requires large amounts of energy to operate, which can reduce the overall efficiency of power plants and industrial processes. Despite these challenges, CCS is expected to play an important role in global climate action. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that CCS will need to contribute about 10% of global emissions reductions by 2050 to reach net-zero goals. As technology improves and costs decrease, CCS could become a more widespread solution for reducing emissions from hard-to-abate industries. 32. What is carbon capture and storage (CCS)? A. A technology to produce CO₂ for industrial use. B. A method to capture and store CO₂ emissions underground. C. A process to release stored CO₂ into the atmosphere. D. A way to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy. 33. What is the first step of the CCS process? A. Transporting CO₂ via pipelines or ships. B. Injecting CO₂ into deep geological formations. C. Separating CO₂ from other industrial gases. D. Using CO₂ to produce oil and gas. 34. What is a challenge to scaling up CCS? A. It is too cheap to be economically viable. B. It has caused many major safety accidents. C. It requires large amounts of energy to operate. D. It is more efficient than solar and wind power. 35. What does the IEA estimate about CCS? A. It will contribute 10% of global emissions reductions by 2050. B. It will replace all renewable energy by 2050. C. It will stop being used after 2050 due to high costs. D. It will only be used in Norway and Australia by 2050. 六、湖南师大附中2026届高三月考（5）英语试卷 - 阅读D篇 Micro-credentials, also known as digital badges or nano-degrees, are small, focused qualifications that certify a person's skills in a specific area. Unlike traditional degrees (which take years to complete and cover a broad range of subjects), micro-credentials are short, flexible, and career-oriented, making them popular among learners who want to upskill or reskill quickly. Micro-credentials are typically offered by universities, community colleges, and online learning platforms like Coursera and Udemy. They can be completed in a few weeks to a few months, depending on the subject, and often include hands-on projects and assessments to ensure that learners master the skills. Common micro-credentials include courses in digital marketing, data analysis, coding, project management, and cybersecurity—skills that are in high demand in the modern workforce. One of the main benefits of micro-credentials is their flexibility. Learners can study at their own pace, often online, which makes them accessible to working professionals, parents, and people with busy schedules. They are also more affordable than traditional degrees, with many micro-credentials costing a few hundred dollars instead of tens of thousands. Additionally, micro-credentials are recognized by many employers, who value the specific, practical skills that they demonstrate. Micro-credentials also have benefits for employers. They allow companies to quickly upskill their employees to meet changing business needs—for example, a company transitioning to digital marketing can offer micro-credentials in social media management to its marketing team. They also make it easier for employers to assess job candidates' skills, as micro-credentials provide concrete evidence of specific abilities rather than just a general degree. However, micro-credentials are not a replacement for traditional degrees. They are best used to complement existing qualifications or to gain specific skills for a particular job. There are also concerns about quality control: not all micro-credentials are created equal, and some may not be recognized by employers or educational institutions. To address this, many countries are developing frameworks to standardize micro-credentials and ensure their quality and relevance. As the job market becomes more competitive and technology changes rapidly, micro-credentials are likely to become an increasingly important part of education and career development. They offer a flexible, affordable way for learners to stay competitive in the workforce and for employers to build a skilled workforce. 32. What is a micro-credential? A. A traditional university degree that takes years to complete. B. A small, focused qualification for specific skills. C. A free online course with no assessments or projects. D. A replacement for all career-oriented training. 33. What is a benefit of micro-credentials for learners? A. They are always free and require no time to complete. B. They are flexible and more affordable than traditional degrees. C. They are only available to full-time students. D. They cover a broad range of subjects like traditional degrees. 34. How do micro-credentials benefit employers? A. They make it harder to assess candidates' specific skills. B. They allow companies to quickly upskill their employees. C. They increase the cost of employee training significantly. D. They replace the need for traditional employee training. 35. What is a concern about micro-credentials? A. They are too flexible and accessible to all learners. B. They are a complete replacement for traditional degrees. C. There may be quality control issues and varying recognition. D. They are too expensive for most working professionals. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
