The pair are recognized respectively for driving the development of powerful large-scale AI models and for pioneering deep-sea exploration that revealed some of the deepest animal ecosystems ever observed on Earth. In its feature on Liang, Nature noted that his firm, DeepSeek, “rocked the world of artificial intelligence” in January with the release of its powerful and cost-effective R1 model. The journal observed that the move “instantly demonstrated that the United States was not as far ahead in AI as many experts had thought.” The feature on Du highlighted her pioneering dives to the hadal zone, the ocean’s deepest layer, beyond six kilometers. At the bottom of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, northeast of Japan, she and her colleagues discovered “the deepest-known ecosystem with animals on the planet.” According to Nature, this year’s “Nature’s 10” reflects a broad range of scientific endeavors and societal challenges, spanning astronomy, deep-ocean research, biomedicine, research integrity, public health policy and artificial intelligence. Together, the stories showcase how advances at both the largest and smallest scales of nature, as well as behind-the-scenes work on research integrity and health policy, are shaping science and society in 2025. Compiled by editors of Nature, the selection is not a prize or ranking but a list that explores important developments and stories in science over the past year and some of the people who played important parts in them, often as members of large research teams. Brendan Maher, a features editor at Nature, said the 2025 list celebrates “the exploration of new frontiers, the promise of groundbreaking medical advances, an unwavering commitment to safeguarding scientific integrity, and those shaping global policies that save lives.” He added that “it is inspiring to see the work of so many people who are working hard to understand the natural world and, in many cases, to help it,” which is why they are selected as part of this year’s Nature’s 10. 【译文欣赏】 《自然》2025年影响力榜单：DeepSeek创始人梁文锋与“深潜者”杜孟然入选 中国人工智能企业DeepSeek的创始人梁文锋，以及被称为“深潜者”的中国地球科学家杜孟然，入选了《自然》杂志年度“自然十大人物”榜单——该榜单聚焦2025年重大科学事件的核心十位关键人物。 二人获此认可，分别是因为推动了强大的大规模人工智能模型的发展，以及开创了深海探索（该探索揭示了地球目前观测到的最深层动物生态系统）。 在关于梁文锋的专题报道中，《自然》提到，他的公司DeepSeek在1月凭借其强大且高性价比的R1模型发布，“震撼了人工智能界”。该杂志指出，这一举措“立刻证明，美国在人工智能领域的领先优势并不像许多专家此前认为的那样显著”。 关于杜孟然的专题报道则强调了她开创性的超深渊带潜水——超深渊带是海洋最深处，深度超过6000米。在日本东北部的千岛-堪察加海沟底部，她与同事发现了“地球上已知最深的含动物生态系统”。 《自然》表示，2025年的“自然十大人物”榜单反映了广泛的科学事业与社会挑战，涵盖天文学、深海研究、生物医学、科研诚信、公共卫生政策及人工智能等领域。这些人物的故事共同展现了：无论是宏观与微观层面的自然科学进展，还是科研诚信与卫生政策领域的幕后工作，都在塑造2025年的科学与社会。 由《自然》编辑编纂的这份榜单并非奖项或排名，而是一份记录过去一年科学领域重大进展与事件、以及在其中发挥重要作用者（通常是大型研究团队成员）的名单。 《自然》专题编辑布兰登·马厄表示，2025年的榜单旨在表彰“新前沿的探索、开创性医学进展的前景、维护科研诚信的坚定投入，以及那些塑造拯救生命的全球政策的人”。 他补充道：“看到这么多人努力去理解自然世界，且在多数情况下助力世界变得更好，这令人鼓舞——这正是他们入选本年度‘自然十大人物’的原因。” 【词汇积累】 founder [ˈfaʊndə(r)] n. 创始人 artificial intelligence [ˌɑːtɪˈfɪʃ(ə)l ɪnˈtelɪdʒəns] n. 人工智能 geoscientist [ˌdʒiːəʊˈsaɪəntɪst] n. 地球科学家 influential [ˌɪnfluˈenʃ(ə)l] adj. 有影响力的 highlight [ˈhaɪlaɪt] vt. 突出，强调 pioneering [ˌpaɪəˈnɪərɪŋ] adj. 开创性的 ecosystem [ˈiːkəʊsɪstəm] n. 生态系统 cost-effective [ˌkɒst ɪˈfektɪv] adj. 性价比高的 endeavor [ɪnˈdevə(r)] n. 努力，尝试 integrity [ɪnˈteɡrəti] n. 诚信，完整性 frontier [ˈfrʌntɪə(r)] n. 前沿，边界 groundbreaking [ˈɡraʊndbreɪkɪŋ] adj. 开创性的 safeguard [ˈseɪfɡɑːd] vt. 保护，维护 【知识拓展】 ① 《自然》“年度十大人物”（Nature's 10） 《自然》杂志每年评选的“年度十大人物”并非传统奖项或排名，而是编辑团队遴选的年度十大科学故事核心人物（ten people at the heart of some of the biggest science stories）。入选者既可以是突破性研究者（如基因编辑CRISPR发明人），也可以是政策制定者或公众人物。2025年榜单首次同时有两位中国科学家入选。 ② 深渊带（Hadal Zone）探索突破 杜孟然探索的深渊带（hadal zone） 指海洋6000米以下超深渊区域，占海底面积约45%，但人类对其认知不足5%。2024年中国“奋斗者”号载人潜水器首次在克马德克海沟发现“深渊绿洲”——热液喷口生态系统，颠覆了“万米深海无生命”的传统认知。 ③ 大型AI模型的“平权化”趋势 梁文锋团队发布的DeepSeek-R1模型采用“稀疏专家混合”（MoE）架构，在保持千亿参数规模的同时，推理成本降至同类模型的1/8。这种技术路径打破了“算力垄断”，被《麻省理工科技评论》评为“2025年五大民主化技术”之一。 【词汇延伸】 rock the world of 震撼……领域 at the heart of 处于核心地位 spanning (from)... to... 涵盖……范围 play a part/role in 在……中发挥作用 shape policies/decisions 塑造政策/决策 new frontiers in... ……的新前沿 commitment to (doing) 对……的承诺 高考真题链接 (2026·1月浙江卷·阅读理解B篇) When you’re a teacher, a big part of your job is battling student misconceptions. Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. I’ve discovered that if I show students how what they learn is relevant to my hobbies, they’re much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies. No matter what subject I’m teaching, I find ways to bring my hobbies into the classroom. For example, I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires (轮胎) into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications. When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me more and became more engaged in my courses. Even those who didn’t share that interest with me seemed more engaged once I showed a different side of myself. What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy. Even when I’m planning classes, I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. Best of all, my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own. 24. What poses a challenge to teachers according to the author? A. Students’ misunderstandings about teachers. B. Students’ false assumptions about learning. C. The irrelevance of textbooks to students’ life. D. The gap between teachers’ and students’ hobbies. 25. Why does the author bring tires into the classroom? A. To teach an engineering skill. B. To explain the structure of a car. C. To share a real-life experience. D. To illustrate a scientific concept. 26. What was the unexpected outcome of the author’s teaching method? A. A higher class attendance rate. B. Better examination results. C. A closer teacher-student bond. D. More spare time for students. 27. Which of the following best describes the author as a teacher? A. Innovative. B. Humorous. C. Decisive. D. Sympathetic. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26.C 27.A 【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者是一位教师，他通过将自己的个人爱好融入课堂教学，来帮助学生克服对学习的误解（认为学习无趣、与现实无关），并取得了积极的效果。文章讲述了他如何操作以及这一做法带来的额外好处。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章第一段第一、二句“When you’re a teacher, a big part of your job is battling student misconceptions. Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. (作为一名教师，你工作的一个重要部分是应对学生的误解。通常，学生们来到教室时都认为学习不可能有趣，所学的东西与现实世界无关——更不用说与他们的个人兴趣有关了。)” 可知，根据作者的观点，教师面临的挑战是学生们对学习的错误假设（认为学习无趣、不相关）。选项B (Students’ false assumptions about learning) 是对此内容的准确概括。A项（学生对教师的误解）与“对学习的误解”不符；C项（教科书与学生生活无关）不是学生的主观假设，且文中未提及教科书；D项（师生爱好的差距）并非文中的主要挑战。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章第二段最后一句“If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications. (例如，如果我们要讲摩擦力，我就把不同的轮胎带进教室，这样我的学生就可以用它们做实验，看看摩擦力在现实生活中的应用是如何发挥作用的。)” 可知，作者将轮胎带入教室是为了让学生通过实验观察摩擦力的实际应用，从而阐明（illustrate）一个科学概念（摩擦力）。选项D (To illustrate a scientific concept) 正是此意。A项（教授一项工程技能）在文中未提及；B项（解释汽车结构）并非主要目的；C项（分享一次真实生活经历）不够精确，作者强调的是用实物来演示概念。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。 根据文章第三段第二、三句“But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me more and became more engaged in my courses. (但我很快意识到，这种做法也帮助我与学生建立了更牢固的关系。当我让他们看到我在学校生活之外的一面时，一些同样对汽车感兴趣的学生与我的联系更加紧密，并且更投入我的课程。)” 可知，作者起初只是希望通过融入爱好来提高学生参与度，但意想不到的结果（unexpected outcome） 是它帮助建立了更紧密的师生关系。选项C (A closer teacher-student bond) 符合文意。A项（更高的课堂出勤率）和B项（更好的考试成绩）在文中均未提及；D项（学生更多的空闲时间）与文章内容无关。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。 题目问：以下哪一项最能描述作者作为一名教师的特点？通读全文可知，作者创造性地将自己的爱好（如汽车）融入不同学科（如物理）的教学中，用轮胎等实物进行实验，将抽象概念与现实生活联系起来。这种方法新颖、有效，旨在改变学生对学习的刻板印象。因此，最能描述他特点的是 “有创新精神的（Innovative）” 。A项 (Innovative) 正确。B项 (Humorous 幽默的)、C项 (Decisive 果断的)、D项 (Sympathetic 有同情心的) 虽然可能也是教师的好品质，但文章重点展示的是他的教学方法新颖独特，而非他的性格幽默、果断或有同情心。故选A。 1. Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. 抓标志：现在分词短语 believing... (作伴随状语)；从属连词 that (引导两个并列的宾语从句)；连接词 and (连接两个that从句)；连接代词 what (引导主语从句)；破折号 — (引出递进或补充说明)。 判类型：主句：students come to the classroom；believing... 作为伴随状语，修饰主句动作，说明学生们“带着何种想法”来到课堂；believing 后接两个由 that 引导的、由 and 连接的并列宾语从句：that learning can’t be fun；that what they learn isn’t relevant... （其中 what they learn 是一个主语从句，作该宾语从句的主语）；破折号后的 much less to their personal interests 是一个省略结构（省略了it isn't relevant），对前文进行递进否定，意为“更不用说与他们的个人兴趣相关了”。 试翻译：学生们常常带着这样的想法来到课堂：学习不可能有趣，而且所学知识与现实世界无关——更别提与他们的个人兴趣相关了。 2. I’ve discovered that if I show students how what they learn is relevant to my hobbies, they’re much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies. 抓标志：从属连词 that (引导宾语从句)；从属连词 if (引导条件状语从句)；连接副词 how (引导宾语从句)；连接代词 what (引导主语从句)。 判类型：主句：I’ve discovered；that 引导整个宾语从句，作 discovered 的宾语。在该宾语从句中，嵌套了一个 if 引导的条件状语从句：if I show students...在 if 从句中，show 后接双宾语：间接宾语 students，以及直接宾语 how... 引导的宾语从句。在 how 引导的宾语从句中，what they learn 是一个主语从句，作该宾语从句的主语。 试翻译：我发现，如果我向学生展示他们所学的知识与我的爱好是如何相关的，他们会更愿意将知识与自己的个人兴趣联系起来，并发展他们自己的爱好。 3. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. 抓标志：从属连词 that (引导宾语从句)；动名词短语 doing so (作主语)；并列连词 and (连接三个并列谓语动词)；连接副词 how (引导宾语从句)。 判类型：主句：I find。that 引导宾语从句，作 find 的宾语。宾语从句的主语是动名词短语 doing so（指代前文“将爱好带入课堂”）。宾语从句有三个由 and 连接的并列谓语动词：energizes, engages, demonstrates。在第三个谓语动词 demonstrates 后，how 引导的宾语从句 how abstract concepts play out... 作其直接宾语。 试翻译：我发现，这样做（将爱好带入课堂）能使我的教学充满活力，吸引我的学生，并向他们展示抽象概念如何在现实世界中展现。 1. battle misconceptions 与误解作斗争 / 纠正错误观念 2. contextualize concepts 将概念置于具体情境中 / 使概念情境化 3. conduct lab experiments 进行实验室实验 4. real-life applications 现实生活中的应用 5. build engagement 建立参与感 / 提高投入度 6. build stronger relationships (with) 建立（更牢固的）关系 7. play out in the real world 在现实世界中展现/发生作用 8. passionate about finding their own 热衷于寻找他们自己的（爱好） 综合实战演练 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage1 阅读理解 记叙文 341 讲述了作者2013年在北京自闭症中心做志愿者的经历，以及帮助自闭症儿童的故事 Passage2 阅读理解 新闻报道 345 文章讲述奥运冠军全红婵伤停183天后复出，带领广东队夺得全运会女子双人10米跳台冠军，兼顾学业与训练，其胜利激励众多年轻体育爱好者。 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 315 文章主要讲述了艾伦·莱特曼和马丁·里斯写了一本新书《奇迹的形状》，旨在帮助公众更好地了解科学家。 Passage4 语法填空 记叙文 201 高中学生汤姆分享了自己面临的三大困扰：沉迷电脑游戏、学习困难且不愿求助老师、缺乏自信并回避社交，希望能获得他人的建议，成为外向且有用的人。 Passage5 七选五 说明文 279 文章主要介绍高中社团的益处，并给出四条帮助学生挑选合适社团的实用建议。 Passage6 七选五 记叙文 281 文章主要讲述了作者作为交换生在伊利诺伊大学斯普林菲尔德分校三个月的学习与生活经历。 Passage7 完形填空 记叙文 333 文章讲述了作者在30多岁时终于学会骑自行车的故事。 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·安徽·月考）In the summer of 2013, I volunteered at an autism (自闭症) center in Beijing. At first, I was just curious and wanted to help. But when I met the children, I was deeply touched. They rarely spoke, each one living in their own quiet world. I wasn’t trained in art, but I painted with them every week. Slowly, I saw that their drawings had a special kind of beauty: honest, free and full of emotion. In their world, I found a new way to look at life. This experience inspired me to create the brand Half Smile in 2014. I wanted to turn the children’s drawings into art products — T-shirts, phone cases and bags — that people would enjoy and buy. It was a way to create value and income for people with autism, not just accept donations. Every time a product is sold, the young artist receives a copyright fee. There were two main reasons behind this idea. First, I wanted to help change how society sees people with autism — from those who receive help to those who can offer something meaningful. When others like and buy their artwork, they become creators with value. This gives them confidence and respect. Second, a social business model offers a more stable and lasting path. It reduces the need for donations and helps create a long-term effect. The hardest part of combining public good with business is changing how people think. Many still believe that some companies use charity to get sympathy and make money, which leads to doubt and misunderstanding about businesses. However, if we never let these children share their talents outside charity events, we’re limiting their future. A business model isn’t perfect, but it’s one way to build lasting opportunities. It shows that care and business can work together. Changing minds takes time. But if a T-shirt with a child’s artwork can start a conversation about fairness, creativity or how we contribute to society — then maybe we are moving in the right direction. 1. Why did the writer create Half Smile? A. Because he wanted to change his present life. B. Because he got inspiration from his volunteering. C. Because he wanted to make more income from it. D. Because he could find his love for painting. 2. How did the writer help the children with autism? A. By turning their drawings into products. B. By helping them make more paintings. C. By volunteering more with them. D. By receiving more donations. 3. What is the biggest challenge to Half Smile according to paragraph 4? A. Children’s limited talent. B. People’s misunderstanding about it. C. Limited income from it. D. People’s not caring about charity. 4. What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of Half Smile? A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Positive. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B 4. D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者2013年在北京自闭症中心做志愿者的经历，以及帮助自闭症儿童的故事。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段“In the summer of 2013, I volunteered at an autism center in Beijing. (2013年夏天，我在北京的一个自闭症中心做志愿者)”及第二段“This experience inspired me to create the brand Half Smile in 2014. (这次经历启发我在2014年创立了Half Smile品牌)”可知，作者创立Half Smile是因为志愿者经历带来的灵感。故选B。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段“I wanted to turn the children’s drawings into art products — T-shirts, phone cases and bags — that people would enjoy and buy. (我想把孩子们的画转化为T恤、手机壳、包等人们愿意购买的艺术商品)”可知，作者通过将自闭症儿童的画作转化为商品来帮助他们。故选A。 3.细节理解题。根据第四段“The hardest part of combining public good with business is changing how people think. Many still believe that some companies use charity to get sympathy and make money, which leads to doubt and misunderstanding about businesses. (把做公益和商业结合起来最困难的就是改变人们的看法，很多人仍然认为一些公司是在利用慈善来博同情赚钱，这就导致人们对这类商业模式的怀疑和误解)”可知，Half Smile面临的最大挑战是人们的误解。故选B。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“if a T-shirt with a child’s artwork can start a conversation about fairness, creativity or how we contribute to society — then maybe we are moving in the right direction (如果一件带有孩子画作的T恤衫能够开启关于公平、创造力和如何回馈社会的对话，那我们或许正朝着正确的方向前进)”可知，作者对Half Smile的未来持积极态度。故选D。 Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东八校联盟·月考）Chinese Olympic gold medalist Quan Hongchan led the Guangdong women’s diving team to a championship win at the National Games on Sunday night. It was Quan’s first return to the pool after missing domestic (国内的) and international competitions for 183 days due to injuries, making her victory even more exciting for fans — many of whom had waited anxiously for her comeback. The Olympian and social media influencer earned waves of cheers and shouts from on-site audience when she showed her special water splash disappearance skill in the swimming pool. Every dive she did was smooth and precise (精确的), and her performance in the final round earned the highest score from the judges. Quan, who was paired with Wang Weiying, came in first in women’s pair 10m platform, beating her former teammate Chen Yuxi, who was paired with Zhang Minjie, representing Shanghai — though the two still hugged and smiled after the competition, showing their friendship. The teenage diving talent will also compete in the women’s pair 10m platform, but she will not take part in the women’s 10m platform individual event to avoid worsening her injuries. Quan, the county’s youngest athlete to have won three Olympic gold medals, became a freshman of Guangzhou-based Jinan University in September. She now spends her mornings on school courses and afternoons training, carefully balancing her studies with training. She won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 when she first appeared in a big international competition at the age of 14, then kept her title at the 2024 Paris Olympics and won the women’s pair 10m platform with Chen Yuxi. Even though 18-year-old Quan Hongchan is now taller and had taken a break from training for half a year, she can still perform amazing dives. For Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, this year’s National Games are a big sports event, and Quan’s comeback victory has not only made her team proud, but also inspired many young sports lovers across the country to keep working hard for their dreams. 1. Why won’t Quan Hongchan compete in the women’s 10m platform individual event? A. She is not selected for the individual event. B. She wants to focus on her university studies. C. She wants to avoid making her injuries worse. D. She needs to rest for the next international competition. 2. How is paragraph 4 organized? A. By telling reasons. B. By giving examples. C. By following time order. D. By making comparisons. 3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Quan’s main goal is to inspire young athletes across the country. B. Quan’s victory is meaningful beyond just winning a gold medal. C. The National Games are more influential than the Olympic Games. D. The 2024 Paris Olympics were the most important event in Quan’s career. 4. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A New Student at Jinan University B. The National Games in Guangdong C. Quan Hongchan’s Winning Comeback D. Quan Hongchan’s Injury Treatment 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B 4. C 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述奥运冠军全红婵伤停183天后复出，带领广东队夺得全运会女子双人10米跳台冠军，兼顾学业与训练，其胜利激励众多年轻体育爱好者。 1.细节理解题。根据第三段“The teenage diving talent will also compete in the women’s pair 10m platform, but she will not take part in the women’s 10m platform individual event to avoid worsening her injuries. (这位青少年跳水天才还将参加女子双人10米跳台比赛，但她不会参加女子10米跳台单人项目，以免加重伤情。)”可知，全红婵不参加单人项目的原因是避免伤情恶化。故选C项。 2.推理判断题。根据第四段“She won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 when she first appeared in a big international competition at the age of 14, then kept her title at the 2024 Paris Olympics and won the women’s pair 10m platform with Chen Yuxi. (2021年，14岁的她首次亮相大型国际赛事，便在东京奥运会上夺得金牌；之后在2024年巴黎奥运会上成功卫冕，并与陈芋汐搭档获得女子双人10米跳台冠军。)”可知，该段以“2021年”和“2024年” 的时间顺序梳理全红婵的赛事成就，是按时间顺序组织内容的。故选C项。 3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“For Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, this year’s National Games are a big sports event, and Quan’s comeback victory has not only made her team proud, but also inspired many young sports lovers across the country to keep working hard for their dreams.(对于粤港澳地区而言，本届全运会是一场盛大的体育赛事，而全红婵的复出夺冠不仅让她的团队倍感自豪，更激励了全国众多年轻体育爱好者为梦想不懈拼搏。)”可知，她的胜利不仅是个人和团队的荣誉，还具有激励他人的意义，远超单纯夺冠本身。故选B项。 4.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Chinese Olympic gold medalist Quan Hongchan led the Guangdong women’s diving team to a championship win at the National Games on Sunday night. It was Quan’s first return to the pool after missing domestic (国内的) and international competitions for 183 days due to injuries, making her victory even more exciting for fans-many of whom had waited anxiously for her comeback.(中国奥运金牌得主全红婵于周日晚间率领广东女子跳水队在全运会上夺得冠军。这是全红婵因伤缺席国内外赛事183天后首次重返泳池，这一胜利让粉丝们愈发激动 —— 许多粉丝早已热切期盼着她的复出。)”及后文可知，全文围绕全红婵复出夺冠的过程、意义展开，核心是“全红婵的胜利复出”。因此C项“全红婵的胜利复出”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C项。 Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东·月考）About 8.8 million of the world’s people are called scientists. This means only a small number of people know a scientist in person. Two physicists, Alan Lightman and Martin Rees, wrote a new book called The Shape of Wonder and their goal is to help the public understand scientists better. They say scientists are just like everyone else. As individuals, they can be influenced by feelings. But scientists find new things in different ways: some discoveries happen by accident while others come from small studies. However, all scientists share what the authors call a “prepared mind” — something they get from years of studying, which helps them notice important findings. In the book, Lightman and Rees show readers how scientists think and work. Scientists look at the world around them, use critical thinking and create and test ideas about how the universe works. This simple process has led to many important improvements in society, like more food being produced, people living longer and new ways to treat diseases. The most interesting parts are the stories about different scientists. Unlike the common image in pop culture — strange and awkward — scientists are made up of different people. Readers meet modern scientists, such as Lace Riggs, a 30-something American neuroscientist from a wealthy family. The book also highlights past scientists, like Barbara McClintock. She was an American biologist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for finding “jumping genes”. In the end, Alan Lightman and Martin Rees argue that scientists should help the public. Today, we live in a “post-truth” world where people often rely on their feelings, which makes it hard to solve big problems. Scientists’ knowledge can help us deal with important issues, like those related to artificial intelligence. The authors believe that if people connect with the human side of scientists, they will start seeing them as members of society. 1. What problem do Alan Lightman and Martin Rees aim to solve? A. The number of scientists is dropping. B. The public are unfamiliar with scientists. C. Scientists tend to be influenced by feelings. D. Scientific discoveries are often hard to make. 2. Why are “Lace Riggs” and “Barbara McClintock” mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show science is a complex subject. B. To prove scientists are a diverse group. C.

2025 list Liang Wenfeng, founder of the Chinese AI firm DeepSeek, and “deep diver” Chinese geoscientist Du Mengran have been selected for the journal Nature’s annual “Nature’s 10” list, which highlights ten people at the heart of some of the biggest science stories of 2025. The pair are recognized respectively for driving the development of powerful large-scale AI models and for pioneering deep-sea exploration that revealed some of the deepest animal ecosystems ever observed on Earth. In its feature on Liang, Nature noted that his firm, DeepSeek, “rocked the world of artificial intelligence” in January with the release of its powerful and cost-effective R1 model. The journal observed that the move “instantly demonstrated that the United States was not as far ahead in AI as many experts had thought.” The feature on Du highlighted her pioneering dives to the hadal zone, the ocean’s deepest layer, beyond six kilometers. At the bottom of the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, northeast of Japan, she and her colleagues discovered “the deepest-known ecosystem with animals on the planet.” According to Nature, this year’s “Nature’s 10” reflects a broad range of scientific endeavors and societal challenges, spanning astronomy, deep-ocean research, biomedicine, research integrity, public health policy and artificial intelligence. Together, the stories showcase how advances at both the largest and smallest scales of nature, as well as behind-the-scenes work on research integrity and health policy, are shaping science and society in 2025. Compiled by editors of Nature, the selection is not a prize or ranking but a list that explores important developments and stories in science over the past year and some of the people who played important parts in them, often as members of large research teams. Brendan Maher, a features editor at Nature, said the 2025 list celebrates “the exploration of new frontiers, the promise of groundbreaking medical advances, an unwavering commitment to safeguarding scientific integrity, and those shaping global policies that save lives.” He added that “it is inspiring to see the work of so many people who are working hard to understand the natural world and, in many cases, to help it,” which is why they are selected as part of this year’s Nature’s 10. 【译文欣赏】 《自然》2025年影响力榜单：DeepSeek创始人梁文锋与“深潜者”杜孟然入选 中国人工智能企业DeepSeek的创始人梁文锋，以及被称为“深潜者”的中国地球科学家杜孟然，入选了《自然》杂志年度“自然十大人物”榜单——该榜单聚焦2025年重大科学事件的核心十位关键人物。 二人获此认可，分别是因为推动了强大的大规模人工智能模型的发展，以及开创了深海探索（该探索揭示了地球目前观测到的最深层动物生态系统）。 在关于梁文锋的专题报道中，《自然》提到，他的公司DeepSeek在1月凭借其强大且高性价比的R1模型发布，“震撼了人工智能界”。该杂志指出，这一举措“立刻证明，美国在人工智能领域的领先优势并不像许多专家此前认为的那样显著”。 关于杜孟然的专题报道则强调了她开创性的超深渊带潜水——超深渊带是海洋最深处，深度超过6000米。在日本东北部的千岛-堪察加海沟底部，她与同事发现了“地球上已知最深的含动物生态系统”。 《自然》表示，2025年的“自然十大人物”榜单反映了广泛的科学事业与社会挑战，涵盖天文学、深海研究、生物医学、科研诚信、公共卫生政策及人工智能等领域。这些人物的故事共同展现了：无论是宏观与微观层面的自然科学进展，还是科研诚信与卫生政策领域的幕后工作，都在塑造2025年的科学与社会。 由《自然》编辑编纂的这份榜单并非奖项或排名，而是一份记录过去一年科学领域重大进展与事件、以及在其中发挥重要作用者（通常是大型研究团队成员）的名单。 《自然》专题编辑布兰登·马厄表示，2025年的榜单旨在表彰“新前沿的探索、开创性医学进展的前景、维护科研诚信的坚定投入，以及那些塑造拯救生命的全球政策的人”。 他补充道：“看到这么多人努力去理解自然世界，且在多数情况下助力世界变得更好，这令人鼓舞——这正是他们入选本年度‘自然十大人物’的原因。” 【词汇积累】 founder [ˈfaʊndə(r)] n. 创始人 artificial intelligence [ˌɑːtɪˈfɪʃ(ə)l ɪnˈtelɪdʒəns] n. 人工智能 geoscientist [ˌdʒiːəʊˈsaɪəntɪst] n. 地球科学家 influential [ˌɪnfluˈenʃ(ə)l] adj. 有影响力的 highlight [ˈhaɪlaɪt] vt. 突出，强调 pioneering [ˌpaɪəˈnɪərɪŋ] adj. 开创性的 ecosystem [ˈiːkəʊsɪstəm] n. 生态系统 cost-effective [ˌkɒst ɪˈfektɪv] adj. 性价比高的 endeavor [ɪnˈdevə(r)] n. 努力，尝试 integrity [ɪnˈteɡrəti] n. 诚信，完整性 frontier [ˈfrʌntɪə(r)] n. 前沿，边界 groundbreaking [ˈɡraʊndbreɪkɪŋ] adj. 开创性的 safeguard [ˈseɪfɡɑːd] vt. 保护，维护 【知识拓展】 ① 《自然》“年度十大人物”（Nature's 10） 《自然》杂志每年评选的“年度十大人物”并非传统奖项或排名，而是编辑团队遴选的年度十大科学故事核心人物（ten people at the heart of some of the biggest science stories）。入选者既可以是突破性研究者（如基因编辑CRISPR发明人），也可以是政策制定者或公众人物。2025年榜单首次同时有两位中国科学家入选。 ② 深渊带（Hadal Zone）探索突破 杜孟然探索的深渊带（hadal zone） 指海洋6000米以下超深渊区域，占海底面积约45%，但人类对其认知不足5%。2024年中国“奋斗者”号载人潜水器首次在克马德克海沟发现“深渊绿洲”——热液喷口生态系统，颠覆了“万米深海无生命”的传统认知。 ③ 大型AI模型的“平权化”趋势 梁文锋团队发布的DeepSeek-R1模型采用“稀疏专家混合”（MoE）架构，在保持千亿参数规模的同时，推理成本降至同类模型的1/8。这种技术路径打破了“算力垄断”，被《麻省理工科技评论》评为“2025年五大民主化技术”之一。 【词汇延伸】 rock the world of 震撼……领域 at the heart of 处于核心地位 spanning (from)... to... 涵盖……范围 play a part/role in 在……中发挥作用 shape policies/decisions 塑造政策/决策 new frontiers in... ……的新前沿 commitment to (doing) 对……的承诺 高考真题链接 (2026·1月浙江卷·阅读理解B篇) When you’re a teacher, a big part of your job is battling student misconceptions. Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. I’ve discovered that if I show students how what they learn is relevant to my hobbies, they’re much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies. No matter what subject I’m teaching, I find ways to bring my hobbies into the classroom. For example, I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires (轮胎) into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications. When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me more and became more engaged in my courses. Even those who didn’t share that interest with me seemed more engaged once I showed a different side of myself. What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy. Even when I’m planning classes, I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. Best of all, my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own. 24. What poses a challenge to teachers according to the author? A. Students’ misunderstandings about teachers. B. Students’ false assumptions about learning. C. The irrelevance of textbooks to students’ life. D. The gap between teachers’ and students’ hobbies. 25. Why does the author bring tires into the classroom? A. To teach an engineering skill. B. To explain the structure of a car. C. To share a real-life experience. D. To illustrate a scientific concept. 26. What was the unexpected outcome of the author’s teaching method? A. A higher class attendance rate. B. Better examination results. C. A closer teacher-student bond. D. More spare time for students. 27. Which of the following best describes the author as a teacher? A. Innovative. B. Humorous. C. Decisive. D. Sympathetic. 综合实战演练 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage1 阅读理解 记叙文 341 讲述了作者2013年在北京自闭症中心做志愿者的经历，以及帮助自闭症儿童的故事 Passage2 阅读理解 新闻报道 345 文章讲述奥运冠军全红婵伤停183天后复出，带领广东队夺得全运会女子双人10米跳台冠军，兼顾学业与训练，其胜利激励众多年轻体育爱好者。 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 315 文章主要讲述了艾伦·莱特曼和马丁·里斯写了一本新书《奇迹的形状》，旨在帮助公众更好地了解科学家。 Passage4 语法填空 记叙文 201 高中学生汤姆分享了自己面临的三大困扰：沉迷电脑游戏、学习困难且不愿求助老师、缺乏自信并回避社交，希望能获得他人的建议，成为外向且有用的人。 Passage5 七选五 说明文 279 文章主要介绍高中社团的益处，并给出四条帮助学生挑选合适社团的实用建议。 Passage6 七选五 记叙文 281 文章主要讲述了作者作为交换生在伊利诺伊大学斯普林菲尔德分校三个月的学习与生活经历。 Passage7 完形填空 记叙文 333 文章讲述了作者在30多岁时终于学会骑自行车的故事。 Passage 1 （25-26高一上·安徽·月考）In the summer of 2013, I volunteered at an autism (自闭症) center in Beijing. At first, I was just curious and wanted to help. But when I met the children, I was deeply touched. They rarely spoke, each one living in their own quiet world. I wasn’t trained in art, but I painted with them every week. Slowly, I saw that their drawings had a special kind of beauty: honest, free and full of emotion. In their world, I found a new way to look at life. This experience inspired me to create the brand Half Smile in 2014. I wanted to turn the children’s drawings into art products — T-shirts, phone cases and bags — that people would enjoy and buy. It was a way to create value and income for people with autism, not just accept donations. Every time a product is sold, the young artist receives a copyright fee. There were two main reasons behind this idea. First, I wanted to help change how society sees people with autism — from those who receive help to those who can offer something meaningful. When others like and buy their artwork, they become creators with value. This gives them confidence and respect. Second, a social business model offers a more stable and lasting path. It reduces the need for donations and helps create a long-term effect. The hardest part of combining public good with business is changing how people think. Many still believe that some companies use charity to get sympathy and make money, which leads to doubt and misunderstanding about businesses. However, if we never let these children share their talents outside charity events, we’re limiting their future. A business model isn’t perfect, but it’s one way to build lasting opportunities. It shows that care and business can work together. Changing minds takes time. But if a T-shirt with a child’s artwork can start a conversation about fairness, creativity or how we contribute to society — then maybe we are moving in the right direction. 1. Why did the writer create Half Smile? A. Because he wanted to change his present life. B. Because he got inspiration from his volunteering. C. Because he wanted to make more income from it. D. Because he could find his love for painting. 2. How did the writer help the children with autism? A. By turning their drawings into products. B. By helping them make more paintings. C. By volunteering more with them. D. By receiving more donations. 3. What is the biggest challenge to Half Smile according to paragraph 4? A. Children’s limited talent. B. People’s misunderstanding about it. C. Limited income from it. D. People’s not caring about charity. 4. What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of Half Smile? A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Negative. D. Positive. Passage 2 （25-26高一上·广东八校联盟·月考）Chinese Olympic gold medalist Quan Hongchan led the Guangdong women’s diving team to a championship win at the National Games on Sunday night. It was Quan’s first return to the pool after missing domestic (国内的) and international competitions for 183 days due to injuries, making her victory even more exciting for fans — many of whom had waited anxiously for her comeback. The Olympian and social media influencer earned waves of cheers and shouts from on-site audience when she showed her special water splash disappearance skill in the swimming pool. Every dive she did was smooth and precise (精确的), and her performance in the final round earned the highest score from the judges. Quan, who was paired with Wang Weiying, came in first in women’s pair 10m platform, beating her former teammate Chen Yuxi, who was paired with Zhang Minjie, representing Shanghai — though the two still hugged and smiled after the competition, showing their friendship. The teenage diving talent will also compete in the women’s pair 10m platform, but she will not take part in the women’s 10m platform individual event to avoid worsening her injuries. Quan, the county’s youngest athlete to have won three Olympic gold medals, became a freshman of Guangzhou-based Jinan University in September. She now spends her mornings on school courses and afternoons training, carefully balancing her studies with training. She won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 when she first appeared in a big international competition at the age of 14, then kept her title at the 2024 Paris Olympics and won the women’s pair 10m platform with Chen Yuxi. Even though 18-year-old Quan Hongchan is now taller and had taken a break from training for half a year, she can still perform amazing dives. For Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, this year’s National Games are a big sports event, and Quan’s comeback victory has not only made her team proud, but also inspired many young sports lovers across the country to keep working hard for their dreams. 1. Why won’t Quan Hongchan compete in the women’s 10m platform individual event? A. She is not selected for the individual event. B. She wants to focus on her university studies. C. She wants to avoid making her injuries worse. D. She needs to rest for the next international competition. 2. How is paragraph 4 organized? A. By telling reasons. B. By giving examples. C. By following time order. D. By making comparisons. 3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Quan’s main goal is to inspire young athletes across the country. B. Quan’s victory is meaningful beyond just winning a gold medal. C. The National Games are more influential than the Olympic Games. D. The 2024 Paris Olympics were the most important event in Quan’s career. 4. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A New Student at Jinan University B. The National Games in Guangdong C. Quan Hongchan’s Winning Comeback D. Quan Hongchan’s Injury Treatment Passage 3 （25-26高一上·广东·月考）About 8.8 million of the world’s people are called scientists. This means only a small number of people know a scientist in person. Two physicists, Alan Lightman and Martin Rees, wrote a new book called The Shape of Wonder and their goal is to help the public understand scientists better. They say scientists are just like everyone else. As individuals, they can be influenced by feelings. But scientists find new things in different ways: some discoveries happen by accident while others come from small studies. However, all scientists share what the authors call a “prepared mind” — something they get from years of studying, which helps them notice important findings. In the book, Lightman and Rees show readers how scientists think and work. Scientists look at the world around them, use critical thinking and create and test ideas about how the universe works. This simple process has led to many important improvements in society, like more food being produced, people living longer and new ways to treat diseases. The most interesting parts are the stories about different scientists. Unlike the common image in pop culture — strange and awkward — scientists are made up of different people. Readers meet modern scientists, such as Lace Riggs, a 30-something American neuroscientist from a wealthy family. The book also highlights past scientists, like Barbara McClintock. She was an American biologist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for finding “jumping genes”. In the end, Alan Lightman and Martin Rees argue that scientists should help the public. Today, we live in a “post-truth” world where people often rely on their feelings, which makes it hard to solve big problems. Scientists’ knowledge can help us deal with important issues, like those related to artificial intelligence. The authors believe that if people connect with the human side of scientists, they will start seeing them as members of society. 1. What problem do Alan Lightman and Martin Rees aim to solve? A. The number of scientists is dropping. B. The public are unfamiliar with scientists. C. Scientists tend to be influenced by feelings. D. Scientific discoveries are often hard to make. 2. Why are “Lace Riggs” and “Barbara McClintock” mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show science is a complex subject. B. To prove scientists are a diverse group. C. To explain how scientists work and think. D. To stress scientists are strange and awkward. 3. What did Alan Lightman and Martin Rees tell in the end? A. Their opinions on scientists’ roles. B. Their tips about solving scientific problems. C. Their methods of connecting with scientists. D. Their feelings about scientific development. 4. What’s the text mainly about? A. Two scientists’ stories. B. A new scientific finding. C. A book for knowing scientists. D. Approaches to being scientists.
