专题一 阅读理解 类型二 体裁破解 第4讲 议论文 练习 2026届高考英语二轮复习

专题一　阅读理解 类型二　体裁破解 第4讲　议论文 议论文，也叫说理文，是一种剖析事物、论述事理、发表意见、提出主张的文体。文章主要是中外广泛关注的社会话题和热点问题，作者通过摆事实、讲道理、辨是非等手法，大多以“总—分—总”的结构行文，即“提出问题—分析问题—解决问题”。议论文的三要素是论点、论据和论证，其目的是说服他人、宣扬观点，或者说服读者接受某种意见或采取某种行动。 【辨明题类】 议论文阅读理解难度相对比较大，命题角度多样化，细节理解题、推理判断题、词句猜测题、主旨大意题都有可能出现。因此，在阅读议论文时，应该从结构和内容两方面同时入手，先通读原文，再区分事实和观点，明确论点、论证和论据，把握作者最后得出的结论。 【技法点拨】 研读首段，确定论点：议论文的主旨，即论点往往在首段，尤其是首段中有however，but等转折词时，其后的内容便是论点。 细读中间段，把握论证方式：中间段是文章的主体部分，即论证部分，作者会用两个或两个以上的段落通过举例、引用、对比、列数字、引用事实和理论等进行论证，这一部分往往与细节理解题的考查点相对应。 关注尾段，理解结论：尾段是结论部分，要弄清楚作者所得出的结论。 【真题体验】 (2025·全国Ⅰ卷·阅读理解C) While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian(行人) mobility, especially among young children.Many parents say there's too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead. Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet are bothered by facts like these.In their new book Movement：How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives. Life on city streets started to change decades ago.Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere.Some communities fought back.Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park.Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor(市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through”．Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well. Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car.The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly.In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world. We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs.Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can't move safely around our communities？The authors of Movement have it right：it's time to think differently about that street outside your front door. 28．What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A．Cars often get stuck on the road. B．Traffic accidents occur frequently. C．People walk less and drive more. D．Pedestrians fail to follow the rules. 29．What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do? A．Keep their cities livable. B．Promote cultural diversity. C．Help the needy families. D．Make expressways accessible. 30．What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s? A．They boosted the sales of cars. B．They turned out largely ineffective. C．They won government support. D．They advocated building new parks. 31．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Why the Rush? B．What's Next? C．Where to Stay? D．Who to Blame? 【解题示范】　第一步：浏览全文，把握主旨大意：文章主要介绍了西方城市过度围绕汽车设计导致行人流动性下降，尤其是儿童步行减少的现象，并通过历史案例和现状分析呼吁反思街道功能，重视城市宜居性。 第二步：细审题干，定位原文： 第28小题：根据题干主要信息paragraph 1，定位到文章的第一段。 第29小题：根据题干信息the Canadian journalist and other campaigners，定位到文章的第三段。 第30小题：根据题干信息campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s，定位到文章的倒数第二段。 第31小题：根据题干信息suitable title，定位到文章的最后一段并结合全文内容。 第三步：仔细对比选项和原文信息，继而找出答案。 在文中找到信息区间后，再仔细对比各选项，确定答案。 【解析】 28．细节理解题。根据第一段“While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children.Many parents say there's too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead.”可知，作者指出的现象是人们步行减少、开车增多。故选C。 29．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park.Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion ‘New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through’．”可知，加拿大记者和其他运动参与者旨在保持城市宜居性。故选A。 30．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car.The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly.”可知，20世纪60年代末和70年代澳大利亚的竞选活动未能阻止汽车发展，基本上没有效果。故选B。 31．标题归纳题。通读全文，并根据最后一段中“We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs.Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can't move safely around our communities？”可知，本文批判城市过度追求交通效率、忽视行人需求的现象，A项“Why the Rush？”质问“rush through”的规划理念，契合主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 A (2025·吉林省延边朝鲜族自治州高三一模) Most have probably heard of Henry David Thoreau and his book Walden, even though his message of simplicity may sound outdated.Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages.Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones.Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. Thoreau would beg to differ.As a writer who advocated the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, he was a contrarian(叛逆者) for his time.He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines. Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods.He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden.In the book, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement.We are not living meaningful lives due to modern technology.We created powerful machines to make life more convenient.Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite.In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”． That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology.Technology is controlling us.Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages.At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour.Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse.Personally, I've done so in two ways.First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum.Most time, I only use my phone to call or text.Second, I quit most social media.Sure, those two things aren't as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods.Nevertheless, they're realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 1．Why does the author refer to Thoreau's book Walden in Paragraph 1? A．To tell the characters of Thoreau. B．To attract more consumers. C．To bring in the concept of simple life. D．To discuss the advantage of smartphones. 2．What might drive Thoreau to live in the woods? A．The purpose to keep fit. B．His plan of writing a book. C．The pace of his time. D．His worry about technology. 3．What is the author's attitude to Thoreau's words “men have become the tools of their tools”？ A．Tolerant. B．Doubtful. C．Approving. D．Critical. 4．What is the author's main argument in this text? A．Modern technology improves our lives. B．Simplicity in a way helps live a meaningful life. C．We should withdraw from modern society. D．Powerful machines are necessary for progress. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了梭罗的简单生活理念及其对现代生活的启示。 【解析】 1．C　写作意图题。由第一段内容可知，作者提到梭罗的《瓦尔登湖》是为了引出简单生活的概念。 2．C　细节理解题。由第三段中“Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods.”可知，他的时间节奏促使梭罗住在树林里。 3．C　观点态度题。由第四段内容可知，作者认同梭罗的观点，即人们已成为自己创造的工具的奴隶，技术正在控制我们。 4．B　文章大意题。通读全文，尤其是由第一段中“Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones.Simple living seems to be a thing of the past.”和最后一段“When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse.”可知，作者的主要论点是简化生活在一定程度上有助于过上更有意义的生活。 B (2025·浙江省嘉兴市高三二模) The 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant lived very firmly in a world of time.He was so strict about routine that his fellow citizens of Kocnigsberg could set their watches by his afternoon walk.However, in his philosophical work, Kant was doubtful about time.He believed time is created by the human mind.Out there beyond our minds, there is no time.It's simply a “category” of our minds that helps us to perceive objects and order our experience. The flexibility of our time perception(感知) supports Kant's doubt.We all know time is not a fixed phenomenon but seems to pass at different speeds in different situations.For example, it seems to go slowly when we travel to unfamiliar places, or when we are bored or in pain.It seems to speed up when we're absorbed, such as when we play music or paint. Our perception of time can change in a dramatic way.Perhaps, at least once in your life, you've had what is called a “Time Expansion Experience (TEE)”， when seconds have stretched out into minutes.TEEs happen most frequently in accidents where perception becomes more intense than normal and thus people notice more details. In accident situations, people are often surprised by the amount of time they have to think and act.In fact, many people are convinced that time expansion spared them from their serious injury, or even death.For example, a woman who reported a TEE in which she avoided a metal barrier falling on to her car said, “For me the slowing down of the moment allowed me to decide how to escape the falling metal on us.” All of this suggests that Kant was right.Perhaps the reason why time is variable is that it doesn't really exist—at least, outside our minds.There is no objective time out there in the universe.What we experience as time is filtered(过滤) through our minds, and so varies according to our state of mind. 5．Which of the following would Immanuel Kant approve of? A．Time is a basic quality of the world. B．Time is a record of human experience. C．Time is a situation measured by daily routine. D．Time is a mental concept generated by humans. 6．What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A．Time progresses at a constant speed. B．Full attention affects people's sense of time. C．Time perception varies depending on context. D．People feel time slows down on special occasions. 7．What do people think of TEEs in accidents? A．Inspiring. B．Beneficial. C．Temporary. D．Painful. 8．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Secret of Time：A State of Mind B．Time Expansion：Real or Imaginary? C．Time Perception：A Philosophical Exploration D．The Clockwork of the Mind：How to Measure Time? 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了康德的时间主观性理论及人类时间感知的弹性现象。 【解析】 5．D　细节理解题。根据第一段“He believed time is created by the human mind.Out there beyond our minds, there is no time.It's simply a ‘category’ of our minds that helps us to perceive objects and order our experience.”可知，康德相信时间是由人类的思想创造的。在我们的意识之外，没有时间。 6．C　段落大意题。根据第二段“The flexibility of our time perception (感知) supports Kant's doubt.We all know time is not a fixed phenomenon but seems to pass at different speeds in different situations.For example, it seems to go slowly when we travel to unfamiliar places, or when we are bored or in pain.It seems to speed up when we're absorbed, such as when we play music or paint.”可知，该段主要讲时间感知因情境而异。 7．B　推理判断题。根据第四段可知，人们认为在事故中的时间膨胀体验是有益的。 8．A　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据最后一段中“What we experience as time is filtered (过滤) through our minds, and so varies according to our state of mind.”可知，文章开篇介绍康德认为时间是由人类思维创造的，接着通过讲述时间感知的灵活性以及时间膨胀体验等内容，说明了时间是因我们的精神状态而变化的，所以选项A“时间的秘密：一种精神状态”能很好地概括文章主旨。 C (2025·江西省新余市高三一模) Are you a logical thinker, or would you say that you're more free-spirited and artistic？If you're the former, somebody's probably told you at some point that you're a left-brained person, and if you're the latter, right-brained.The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology.However, this idea is a fiction. Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, there's no reason to believe these differences can be explained by the dominance of one half of the brain over the other half.Recent research using brain imaging technology hasn't found any evidence of hemispheric(脑半球的) dominance.Math, for example, requires logical thought and, thus, is generally said to be connected with the left brain.But mathematics involves a highly creative effort in addition to being a logical one.So would a gifted mathematician be a right-brained or a left-brained person? If there's no evidence for the fiction of right-brained and left-brained people, why do so many people accept it？Perhaps it just makes intuitive(直觉的) sense that people's brains would be dominant on one side or the other just as their hands, feet, or eyes are.It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into “types” based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics. When people are offered general descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptions of their own personalities, they tend to accept them as meaningful and true, especially if the statements are positive.The “insights” they generate are both universal and congenial.After all, who would reject a description of themselves as “artistic and creative” or “reasonable and analytical”？The fiction is popular, in the end, because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject—ourselves. 9．What can we learn from the passage? A．A free-spirited artist is a right-handed person. B．The left half of the brain deals with analytical work. C．Different personalities are determined by the brain. D．The idea of which half of the brain is dominant is a fiction. 10．Which is a possible reason for people believing left-brained or right-brained dominance? A．Roles of different brain regions. B．Distinctions between different people. C．The tendency to classify people. D．The conclusion from daily phenomena. 11．What does the underlined word “congenial” mean in the last paragraph? A．Reasonable.　　 B．Accurate.　　 C．Random.　　 D．Pleasing. 12．What is the best title for the text? A．The Science of Different Personalities B．The Truth Behind Hemispheric Dominance C．Links Between the Brain and Characters D．Ways to Tell Right-brained and Left-brained People 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要驳斥了关于左脑型人和右脑型人这种流行观念，并解释了为什么人们会相信这一观念。 【解析】 9．D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, there's no reason to believe these differences can be explained by the dominance of one half of the brain over the other half.Recent research using brain imaging technology hasn't found any evidence of hemispheric (脑半球的) dominance.”可知，哪个半脑占主导地位的观点是虚构的，没有根据的。 10．C　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into ‘types’ based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics.”可知，人们相信这一错误的观念可能是因为我们倾向于将自己和他人分类。 11．D　词句猜测题。根据画线词前“When people are offered general descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptions of their own personalities, they tend to accept them as meaningful and true, especially if the statements are positive.”可知，画线词所在句与上文呼应，“general”对应“universal”，“positive”对应“congenial”。画线词后提到谁会拒绝将自己描述为“有艺术性和创造力”或“理性且具分析力”呢。综合以上分析可知，“congenial”应指人们不会拒绝的且令人高兴的。 12．B　标题归纳题。第一段通过提问引入广泛流行的观点，即大脑的左右半球分别主导分析性和创造性思维，性格由优势半脑决定，并指出这是一个虚构的说法；第二段引用最近的脑成像技术研究并以数学为例驳斥这种流行观点；第三段解释这种流行观点被广泛接受的原因；第四段阐述人们接受该观点的心理机制。综合各段大意可知，B项“The Truth Behind Hemispheric Dominance”既暗含对左右脑主导不同思维这一观点的否定，又能包含对此的一种解释，概括了文章大意，适合作文章标题。 D (2025·湖北省武汉市高三五月模拟训练) It's been quite a while since the world saw exactly how deadly these deep-sea voyages can be.On June 18, 2023, the private submersible(潜水船)Titan carried five men on a mission to view the remains of the Titanic, which is about 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.The dive was expected to take a few hours and reach a depth of more than 12,000 feet.But 105 minutes after the Titan went down below the waves, it lost contact. The U.S.and Canadian Coast Guards and the U.S.Navy were called in for a desperate search to rescue the passengers, only to discover the Titan had collapsed inward with no survivors.The disaster dominated global news for weeks, touching off debates：Are human-led deep-sea missions worth their risks and costs? On social media, some expressed sympathy, while others opposed the effort.Critics labeled the passengers “risk-takers” or “senseless” and journalists strongly criticised the media focus on wealthy explorers instead of 700 drowned victims in the Aegean Sea.The obloquy continues today—I've been targeted myself. For a decade, I've supported undersea exploration, arguing its importance.Critics object that remotely operated machines make human missions unnecessary.Why dive deep when we can study hidden secrets in high-definition from safe offices? Yet I defend humanity's drive to explore—the hands-on, unpredictable pursuit that sent us to the moon and across oceans.Without such exploration, scientists can't confirm theories; nor can journalists share real stories.Through many attempts and mistakes, I've learned：To truly describe a subject, you must encounter it.Discovery requires being present. The path to knowledge is challenging, filled with setbacks and failures.It's costly and often unrewarding, but that's exactly why it matters.Trying various approaches—even following uncertain clues—is crucial to discovery.We lose something vital if we abandon the courage to go deep. 13．What was the initial purpose of the Titan's mission? A．To test an underwater vehicle. B．To study undersea creatures. C．To rescue Aegean Sea victims. D．To observe the ruins of a ship. 14．What does the underlined word “obloquy” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．The occurrence of drowning. B．The criticism from the society. C．The debate among journalists. D．The focus on wealthy explorers. 15．How does the author defend the value of deep-sea exploration? A．By quoting famous scientists. B．By listing undersea discoveries. C．By weighing the risks and significance. D．By emphasizing its economic benefits. 16．What is essential for discovery according to the author? A．Media coverage. B．Pure imagination. C．Secured environment. D．Direct involvement. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。2023 年 6 月 18 日，“泰坦” 号私人潜水船在前往查看泰坦尼克号残骸途中失联并导致乘客无一生还，这一灾难引发了关于人类主导的深海任务是否值得冒险和付出成本的辩论。作者认为尽管深海探索充满风险、代价高昂且可能没有回报，但通过权衡其风险与意义，肯定了人类探索的价值，强调亲身参与对于发现是至关重要的。 【解析】 13．D　细节理解题。根据第一段中“On June 18, 2023, the private submersible (潜水船) Titan carried five men on a mission to view the remains of the Titanic” 可知，“泰坦” 号此次任务的最初目的是查看一艘船(泰坦尼克号)的残骸。 14．B　词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Critics labeled the passengers ‘risk-takers’ or ‘senseless’ and journalists strongly criticised the media focus on wealthy explorers instead of 700 drowned victims in the Aegean Sea.The obloquy continues today—I've been targeted myself.”可知，前文讲述了社会各界的批评，所以“obloquy”指的是社会的批评。 15．C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Yet I defend humanity's drive to explore—the hands-on, unpredictable pursuit that sent us to the moon and across oceans.Without such exploration, scientists can't confirm theories; nor can journalists share real stories.”以及最后一段中“The path to knowledge is challenging, filled with setbacks and failures.It's costly and often unrewarding, but that's exactly why it matters.”可知，作者通过权衡深海探索的风险和其对科学家、记者等的重要意义来为其价值辩护。 16．D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Through many attempts and mistakes, I've learned：To truly describe a subject, you must encounter it.Discovery requires being present.”可知，作者认为对于发现来说，直接参与是至关重要的。 【限时训练】（限时：60分钟） A (2025·内蒙古阿拉善盟高三一模) After 25 years at Mumsnet, the UK's most popular website for parents, I thought I'd seen it all with big tech, but Google's push to change UK copyright law for uncompensated content scraping(抓 取) left me stunned.We've experienced the direct impact of this, launching the first British legal action against OpenAI for scraping our content—likely for training its large language model (LLM)—without approval, a clear copyright violation(侵权)． You might wonder why using online content for AI training is a problem, given Google's data collection for search purpose since the dawn of the Internet.When websites allow Google to access their data, they receive a clear return on investment：the heightened search traffic that originates from being listed in Google's search rankings.In contrast, AI training is building models such as ChatGPT to provide the answers to any prospective questions, and that will mean people no longer need to go elsewhere for solutions.And it is building those models with illegally scraped content from the very websites it is ready to replace. Allowing the AI companies to simply steal content isn't just unfair to publishers who see no reward for the work they put in, or the risks they take, it's also an existing threat to them and eventually counterproductive.If publishers disappear because the AIs have swept up all their traffic, then who's left to produce the content to feed the AI models? Mumsnet is fortunate to be in a stronger position than many, as much of our traffic is direct, not search-engine driven.An AI chatbot can give a “Mumsnet-style” answer to a parenting question, but they'll never be as funny about parking wars, and they'll never offer the emotional support that helps around 1,000 women leave abusive partners each year.But if these trillion-dollar giants are allowed to exploit content producers, and get away with it, they will destroy many of them, and all the jobs dependent on them. 1．What does the underlined word “traffic” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Flow of information. B．Engine of websites. C．Function of chatbot. D．Model of AI training. 2．What's the ultimate effect of using unpaid content? A．Innovation in language models. B．Rejection of AI-generated data. C．Decline of content supply. D．Wider accessibility to websites. 3．What gives Mumsnet an advantage over AI chatbots? A．It boasts strong search function. B．It covers a wide range of human concerns. C．It features humanized interaction. D．It has a distinctive question-and-answer style. 4．What's the purpose of the text? A．To explore AI's role in future content creation. B．To advocate the acceptance of content scraping. C．To voice worries over tech giant's misuse of content. D．To discuss the cooperation of tech giants and publishers. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者对科技巨头未经许可抓取内容用于AI训练的担忧。 【解析】 1．A　词句猜测题。由第二段中“When websites allow Google to access their data, they receive a clear return on investment：the heightened search traffic that originates from being listed in Google's search rankings.”可知，当网站允许谷歌访问其数据时，它们会获得明确的投资回报：由于被列入谷歌搜索排名而带来的搜索流量增加。 2．C　细节理解题。由第三段“Allowing the AI companies to simply steal content isn't just unfair to publishers who see no reward for the work they put in, or the risks they take, it's also an existing threat to them and eventually counterproductive.If publishers disappear because the AIs have swept up all their traffic, then who's left to produce the content to feed the AI models？”可知，最终的效果是内容供应的减少。 3．C　细节理解题。由第四段中“An AI chatbot can give a ‘Mumsnet-style’ answer to a parenting question, but they'll never be as funny about parking wars, and they'll never offer the emotional support that helps around 1,000 women leave abusive partners each year.”可知，Mumsnet相对于AI聊天机器人的优势在于它提供了人性化的互动和情感支持。 4．C　写作意图题。通读全文，尤其是由倒数第二段可知，文章主要讲述了作者对于科技巨头未经许可抓取内容用于AI训练的担忧，认为这种行为对内容生产者不公平，且最终会导致内容供应的减少。因此，文章的目的是表达对于科技巨头滥用内容的担忧。 B (2025·江西省九江市高三三模) Writer's block doesn't discriminate.From fresh-faced novelists to literary legends, this creative paralysis(瘫痪) has universally troubled giants throughout history.Maya Angelou experienced it.George R．R.Martin battled it.And in today's world of endless scrolling(刷屏) and information overload, we're facing a creativity crisis like never before. This crisis has shifted dramatically in recent years.Today's writers aren't just battling their self-doubt but also an attention economy that has turned distraction into a powerful tool.Every message, every scroll or every like represents a potential distraction of the creative process.Yet writers are fighting back, and they're winning with strategies that redefine our understanding of creative blocks. To regain their creative flow, writers are adopting innovative solutions.Some turn back to old-fashioned typewriters, avoiding digital distractions through physical typing.Others use VR to create distraction-free virtual spaces.Changing environments, physical or digital, helps break negative patterns and spark creativity.Another emerging trend is the rise of writing collectives, such as The Midnight Oil Collective, which combine cognitive behavioral strategies, timed writing sessions and peer accountability (问责) to overcome blocks and boost productivity. The message from this creative revival is clear：writer's block isn't a creative death sentence—it's a challenge to be overcome with the right tools and support.The block itself isn't the enemy; it's simply a signal that something in the approach needs to change.Whether the change involves adopting old-fashioned technology, diving into VR or joining a writing collective, today's writers are proving that creativity can't be permanently blocked—it just needs new channels to flow through. In this era of constant distraction and information overload, the solutions to writer's block are evolving as rapidly as the challenges.The key lies not in fighting the block head-on, but in finding new pathways around it.As technology continues to advance and our understanding of creative psychology deepens, the tools for breaking through creative paralysis will only become more advanced and effective. 5．What makes today's creativity crisis unique? A．Less reader interest. B．Poor education systems. C．Digital information overload. D．More competitive markets. 6．Why do some writers prefer typewriters? A．They quicken internet access. B．They arouse great memories. C．They simplify writers' editing. D．They minimize digital distractions. 7．What can be inferred about writer's block in paragraph 4? A．Manageable. B．Alternative. C．Fundamental. D．Permanent. 8．What's the author's attitude to overcoming writer's blocks? A．Openly critical.　　 B．Cautiously doubtful. C．Emotionally neutral. D．Firmly optimistic. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了作家们面临的创作瓶颈问题及其应对策略。在信息过载和注意力经济的背景下，作家们通过使用复古打字机、虚拟现实技术以及加入写作集体等方式，克服写作障碍，重获创作灵感。 【解析】 5．C　细节理解题。根据第一段中“And in today's world of endless scrolling (刷屏) and information overload, we're facing a creativity crisis like never before.”可知，数字信息过载使得当今的创造力危机独具特点。 6．D　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Some turn back to old-fashioned typewriters, avoiding digital distractions through physical typing.”可知，一些作家更喜欢打字机是因为它们能将数字干扰降至最低。 7．A　推理判断题。根据第四段中“The message from this creative revival is clear：writer's block isn't a creative death sentence—it's a challenge to be overcome with the right tools and support.The block itself isn't the enemy; it's simply a signal that something in the approach needs to change.”可知，创作瓶颈是可以应对和处理的。 8．D　观点态度题。根据最后一段中“As technology continues to advance and our understanding of creative psychology deepens, the tools for breaking through creative paralysis will only become more advanced and effective.”可知，作者认为随着各种条件的发展，突破创作瓶颈的方法会越来越好，对克服创作瓶颈持坚定乐观的态度。 C (2025·重庆市康德高三二模) Last week, an hour before leaving for the airport, I was still packing.Though it was a short trip, I spent 10 minutes deciding which of the three books to take with me.I knew it was unlikely I'd have time to turn more than a few pages, but it never occurred to me to not take at least one book.When I stop to think about the value of reading, it strikes me that it's a luxury we can't afford to ignore, however busy we are. I love François Boucher's 1756 painting of Madame de Pompadour, which is housed in Munich.Gold curtains are pulled back as though to reveal Pompadour, lover of Louis XV, lying back on her couch.Her dress is almost like a character on its own, and it seems to take over the scene, but her figure isn't any less impressive.Behind her, a fancy bookcase overflows with volumes, while a side table in the foreground holds an open drawer with a bottle of ink and a feather pen, suggesting her engagement with writing.At the very center of her graceful figure is an open book, which she holds elegantly in her hand.

Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet are bothered by facts like these.In their new book Movement：How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives. Life on city streets started to change decades ago.Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere.Some communities fought back.Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park.Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor(市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through”．Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well. Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car.The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly.In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world. We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs.Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can't move safely around our communities？The authors of Movement have it right：it's time to think differently about that street outside your front door. 28．What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1? A．Cars often get stuck on the road. B．Traffic accidents occur frequently. C．People walk less and drive more. D．Pedestrians fail to follow the rules. 29．What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do? A．Keep their cities livable. B．Promote cultural diversity. C．Help the needy families. D．Make expressways accessible. 30．What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s? A．They boosted the sales of cars. B．They turned out largely ineffective. C．They won government support. D．They advocated building new parks. 31．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Why the Rush? B．What's Next? C．Where to Stay? D．Who to Blame? 【解题示范】　第一步：浏览全文，把握主旨大意：文章主要介绍了西方城市过度围绕汽车设计导致行人流动性下降，尤其是儿童步行减少的现象，并通过历史案例和现状分析呼吁反思街道功能，重视城市宜居性。 第二步：细审题干，定位原文： 第28小题：根据题干主要信息paragraph 1，定位到文章的第一段。 第29小题：根据题干信息the Canadian journalist and other campaigners，定位到文章的第三段。 第30小题：根据题干信息campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s，定位到文章的倒数第二段。 第31小题：根据题干信息suitable title，定位到文章的最后一段并结合全文内容。 第三步：仔细对比选项和原文信息，继而找出答案。 在文中找到信息区间后，再仔细对比各选项，确定答案。 A (2025·吉林省延边朝鲜族自治州高三一模) Most have probably heard of Henry David Thoreau and his book Walden, even though his message of simplicity may sound outdated.Nowadays, smartphones flood us with text messages.Many consumers are buying the latest digital devices, from tablets and fitness trackers to commercial drones.Simple living seems to be a thing of the past. Thoreau would beg to differ.As a writer who advocated the value of simplicity almost two centuries ago, he was a contrarian(叛逆者) for his time.He lived during the height of the Industrial Age, distinguished by the rise of large factories, expanding urban developments, and powerful machines. Turned off by the constant busyness of this time, Thoreau withdrew from city life to live alone in the woods.He brought with him only the necessities of life and wrote about this adventure in his book Walden.In the book, Thoreau is basically making a philosophical statement.We are not living meaningful lives due to modern technology.We created powerful machines to make life more convenient.Unfortunately, these machines have done the opposite.In his words, “men have become the tools of their tools”． That is to say, we are not the ones controlling technology.Technology is controlling us.Every few minutes, smartphones may distract us with messages.At least half of Americans check their phones several times an hour.Meanwhile, information overload from social media can weaken our concentration and heighten confusion. When technology causes that much distraction and confusion, it may be healthy to simplify life by reducing technology overuse.Personally, I've done so in two ways.First, I use very little data on my phone and keep the apps on it to a minimum.Most time, I only use my phone to call or text.Second, I quit most social media.Sure, those two things aren't as extreme as Thoreau withdrawing into the woods.Nevertheless, they're realistic moves I can make toward living a more meaningful life. 1．Why does the author refer to Thoreau's book Walden in Paragraph 1? A．To tell the characters of Thoreau. B．To attract more consumers. C．To bring in the concept of simple life. D．To discuss the advantage of smartphones. 2．What might drive Thoreau to live in the woods? A．The purpose to keep fit. B．His plan of writing a book. C．The pace of his time. D．His worry about technology. 3．What is the author's attitude to Thoreau's words “men have become the tools of their tools”？ A．Tolerant. B．Doubtful. C．Approving. D．Critical. 4．What is the author's main argument in this text? A．Modern technology improves our lives. B．Simplicity in a way helps live a meaningful life. C．We should withdraw from modern society. D．Powerful machines are necessary for progress. B (2025·浙江省嘉兴市高三二模) The 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant lived very firmly in a world of time.He was so strict about routine that his fellow citizens of Kocnigsberg could set their watches by his afternoon walk.However, in his philosophical work, Kant was doubtful about time.He believed time is created by the human mind.Out there beyond our minds, there is no time.It's simply a “category” of our minds that helps us to perceive objects and order our experience. The flexibility of our time perception(感知) supports Kant's doubt.We all know time is not a fixed phenomenon but seems to pass at different speeds in different situations.For example, it seems to go slowly when we travel to unfamiliar places, or when we are bored or in pain.It seems to speed up when we're absorbed, such as when we play music or paint. Our perception of time can change in a dramatic way.Perhaps, at least once in your life, you've had what is called a “Time Expansion Experience (TEE)”， when seconds have stretched out into minutes.TEEs happen most frequently in accidents where perception becomes more intense than normal and thus people notice more details. In accident situations, people are often surprised by the amount of time they have to think and act.In fact, many people are convinced that time expansion spared them from their serious injury, or even death.For example, a woman who reported a TEE in which she avoided a metal barrier falling on to her car said, “For me the slowing down of the moment allowed me to decide how to escape the falling metal on us.” All of this suggests that Kant was right.Perhaps the reason why time is variable is that it doesn't really exist—at least, outside our minds.There is no objective time out there in the universe.What we experience as time is filtered(过滤) through our minds, and so varies according to our state of mind. 5．Which of the following would Immanuel Kant approve of? A．Time is a basic quality of the world. B．Time is a record of human experience. C．Time is a situation measured by daily routine. D．Time is a mental concept generated by humans. 6．What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A．Time progresses at a constant speed. B．Full attention affects people's sense of time. C．Time perception varies depending on context. D．People feel time slows down on special occasions. 7．What do people think of TEEs in accidents? A．Inspiring. B．Beneficial. C．Temporary. D．Painful. 8．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Secret of Time：A State of Mind B．Time Expansion：Real or Imaginary? C．Time Perception：A Philosophical Exploration D．The Clockwork of the Mind：How to Measure Time? C (2025·江西省新余市高三一模) Are you a logical thinker, or would you say that you're more free-spirited and artistic？If you're the former, somebody's probably told you at some point that you're a left-brained person, and if you're the latter, right-brained.The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology.However, this idea is a fiction. Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, there's no reason to believe these differences can be explained by the dominance of one half of the brain over the other half.Recent research using brain imaging technology hasn't found any evidence of hemispheric(脑半球的) dominance.Math, for example, requires logical thought and, thus, is generally said to be connected with the left brain.But mathematics involves a highly creative effort in addition to being a logical one.So would a gifted mathematician be a right-brained or a left-brained person? If there's no evidence for the fiction of right-brained and left-brained people, why do so many people accept it？Perhaps it just makes intuitive(直觉的) sense that people's brains would be dominant on one side or the other just as their hands, feet, or eyes are.It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into “types” based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics. When people are offered general descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptions of their own personalities, they tend to accept them as meaningful and true, especially if the statements are positive.The “insights” they generate are both universal and congenial.After all, who would reject a description of themselves as “artistic and creative” or “reasonable and analytical”？The fiction is popular, in the end, because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject—ourselves. 9．What can we learn from the passage? A．A free-spirited artist is a right-handed person. B．The left half of the brain deals with analytical work. C．Different personalities are determined by the brain. D．The idea of which half of the brain is dominant is a fiction. 10．Which is a possible reason for people believing left-brained or right-brained dominance? A．Roles of different brain regions. B．Distinctions between different people. C．The tendency to classify people. D．The conclusion from daily phenomena. 11．What does the underlined word “congenial” mean in the last paragraph? A．Reasonable.　　 B．Accurate.　　 C．Random.　　 D．Pleasing. 12．What is the best title for the text? A．The Science of Different Personalities B．The Truth Behind Hemispheric Dominance C．Links Between the Brain and Characters D．Ways to Tell Right-brained and Left-brained People D (2025·湖北省武汉市高三五月模拟训练) It's been quite a while since the world saw exactly how deadly these deep-sea voyages can be.On June 18, 2023, the private submersible(潜水船)Titan carried five men on a mission to view the remains of the Titanic, which is about 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.The dive was expected to take a few hours and reach a depth of more than 12,000 feet.But 105 minutes after the Titan went down below the waves, it lost contact. The U.S.and Canadian Coast Guards and the U.S.Navy were called in for a desperate search to rescue the passengers, only to discover the Titan had collapsed inward with no survivors.The disaster dominated global news for weeks, touching off debates：Are human-led deep-sea missions worth their risks and costs? On social media, some expressed sympathy, while others opposed the effort.Critics labeled the passengers “risk-takers” or “senseless” and journalists strongly criticised the media focus on wealthy explorers instead of 700 drowned victims in the Aegean Sea.The obloquy continues today—I've been targeted myself. For a decade, I've supported undersea exploration, arguing its importance.Critics object that remotely operated machines make human missions unnecessary.Why dive deep when we can study hidden secrets in high-definition from safe offices? Yet I defend humanity's drive to explore—the hands-on, unpredictable pursuit that sent us to the moon and across oceans.Without such exploration, scientists can't confirm theories; nor can journalists share real stories.Through many attempts and mistakes, I've learned：To truly describe a subject, you must encounter it.Discovery requires being present. The path to knowledge is challenging, filled with setbacks and failures.It's costly and often unrewarding, but that's exactly why it matters.Trying various approaches—even following uncertain clues—is crucial to discovery.We lose something vital if we abandon the courage to go deep. 13．What was the initial purpose of the Titan's mission? A．To test an underwater vehicle. B．To study undersea creatures. C．To rescue Aegean Sea victims. D．To observe the ruins of a ship. 14．What does the underlined word “obloquy” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．The occurrence of drowning. B．The criticism from the society. C．The debate among journalists. D．The focus on wealthy explorers. 15．How does the author defend the value of deep-sea exploration? A．By quoting famous scientists. B．By listing undersea discoveries. C．By weighing the risks and significance. D．By emphasizing its economic benefits. 16．What is essential for discovery according to the author? A．Media coverage. B．Pure imagination. C．Secured environment. D．Direct involvement. 【限时训练】（限时：60分钟） A (2025·内蒙古阿拉善盟高三一模) After 25 years at Mumsnet, the UK's most popular website for parents, I thought I'd seen it all with big tech, but Google's push to change UK copyright law for uncompensated content scraping(抓 取) left me stunned.We've experienced the direct impact of this, launching the first British legal action against OpenAI for scraping our content—likely for training its large language model (LLM)—without approval, a clear copyright violation(侵权)． You might wonder why using online content for AI training is a problem, given Google's data collection for search purpose since the dawn of the Internet.When websites allow Google to access their data, they receive a clear return on investment：the heightened search traffic that originates from being listed in Google's search rankings.In contrast, AI training is building models such as ChatGPT to provide the answers to any prospective questions, and that will mean people no longer need to go elsewhere for solutions.And it is building those models with illegally scraped content from the very websites it is ready to replace. Allowing the AI companies to simply steal content isn't just unfair to publishers who see no reward for the work they put in, or the risks they take, it's also an existing threat to them and eventually counterproductive.If publishers disappear because the AIs have swept up all their traffic, then who's left to produce the content to feed the AI models? Mumsnet is fortunate to be in a stronger position than many, as much of our traffic is direct, not search-engine driven.An AI chatbot can give a “Mumsnet-style” answer to a parenting question, but they'll never be as funny about parking wars, and they'll never offer the emotional support that helps around 1,000 women leave abusive partners each year.But if these trillion-dollar giants are allowed to exploit content producers, and get away with it, they will destroy many of them, and all the jobs dependent on them. 1．What does the underlined word “traffic” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Flow of information. B．Engine of websites. C．Function of chatbot. D．Model of AI training. 2．What's the ultimate effect of using unpaid content? A．Innovation in language models. B．Rejection of AI-generated data. C．Decline of content supply. D．Wider accessibility to websites. 3．What gives Mumsnet an advantage over AI chatbots? A．It boasts strong search function. B．It covers a wide range of human concerns. C．It features humanized interaction. D．It has a distinctive question-and-answer style. 4．What's the purpose of the text? A．To explore AI's role in future content creation. B．To advocate the acceptance of content scraping. C．To voice worries over tech giant's misuse of content. D．To discuss the cooperation of tech giants and publishers. B (2025·江西省九江市高三三模) Writer's block doesn't discriminate.From fresh-faced novelists to literary legends, this creative paralysis(瘫痪) has universally troubled giants throughout history.Maya Angelou experienced it.George R．R.Martin battled it.And in today's world of endless scrolling(刷屏) and information overload, we're facing a creativity crisis like never before. This crisis has shifted dramatically in recent years.Today's writers aren't just battling their self-doubt but also an attention economy that has turned distraction into a powerful tool.Every message, every scroll or every like represents a potential distraction of the creative process.Yet writers are fighting back, and they're winning with strategies that redefine our understanding of creative blocks. To regain their creative flow, writers are adopting innovative solutions.Some turn back to old-fashioned typewriters, avoiding digital distractions through physical typing.Others use VR to create distraction-free virtual spaces.Changing environments, physical or digital, helps break negative patterns and spark creativity.Another emerging trend is the rise of writing collectives, such as The Midnight Oil Collective, which combine cognitive behavioral strategies, timed writing sessions and peer accountability (问责) to overcome blocks and boost productivity. The message from this creative revival is clear：writer's block isn't a creative death sentence—it's a challenge to be overcome with the right tools and support.The block itself isn't the enemy; it's simply a signal that something in the approach needs to change.Whether the change involves adopting old-fashioned technology, diving into VR or joining a writing collective, today's writers are proving that creativity can't be permanently blocked—it just needs new channels to flow through. In this era of constant distraction and information overload, the solutions to writer's block are evolving as rapidly as the challenges.The key lies not in fighting the block head-on, but in finding new pathways around it.As technology continues to advance and our understanding of creative psychology deepens, the tools for breaking through creative paralysis will only become more advanced and effective. 5．What makes today's creativity crisis unique? A．Less reader interest. B．Poor education systems. C．Digital information overload. D．More competitive markets. 6．Why do some writers prefer typewriters? A．They quicken internet access. B．They arouse great memories. C．They simplify writers' editing. D．They minimize digital distractions. 7．What can be inferred about writer's block in paragraph 4? A．Manageable. B．Alternative. C．Fundamental. D．Permanent. 8．What's the author's attitude to overcoming writer's blocks? A．Openly critical.　　 B．Cautiously doubtful. C．Emotionally neutral. D．Firmly optimistic. C (2025·重庆市康德高三二模) Last week, an hour before leaving for the airport, I was still packing.Though it was a short trip, I spent 10 minutes deciding which of the three books to take with me.I knew it was unlikely I'd have time to turn more than a few pages, but it never occurred to me to not take at least one book.When I stop to think about the value of reading, it strikes me that it's a luxury we can't afford to ignore, however busy we are. I love François Boucher's 1756 painting of Madame de Pompadour, which is housed in Munich.Gold curtains are pulled back as though to reveal Pompadour, lover of Louis XV, lying back on her couch.Her dress is almost like a character on its own, and it seems to take over the scene, but her figure isn't any less impressive.Behind her, a fancy bookcase overflows with volumes, while a side table in the foreground holds an open drawer with a bottle of ink and a feather pen, suggesting her engagement with writing.At the very center of her graceful figure is an open book, which she holds elegantly in her hand. Literacy grew in 18th-century Europe, but books remained expensive, and reading, even for well-to-do women, was considered a luxury pursuit.Although France tightly controlled reading materials, the painting places reading on a par with jewels or fine clothes.Pompadour's thoughtful expression suggests she enjoys reading privately, regardless of royal restriction. Reading has long been controlled because books reveal multiple worlds, showing how lives can be caged or free.They provide access to knowledge, broadening our ability to think and act independently.Once people feel empowered, almost anything seems possible.I've always recognized my access to books as a form of power, helping me learn new things and approach life thoughtfully. 9．What does the writer want to express when she mentions her packing experience? A．She always packs at the last minute. B．She values reading remarkably highly. C．She never travels without a book. D．She often forgets some essential items. 10．What does the underlined phrase “on a par with” most probably mean? A．As important as. B．As expensive as.
