Online learning, which allows students to study from anywhere with an internet connection, offers both advantages and disadvantages compared to traditional classroom learning. One of the biggest advantages of online learning is flexibility. Students can choose when and where to study, allowing them to balance their studies with other responsibilities such as part-time jobs or family care. Additionally, online learning provides access to a wide range of courses and resources that may not be available in local schools. For example, a student in a small town can take advanced courses in computer science or foreign languages through online platforms, opening up more opportunities for their future. Online learning also benefits students who may feel anxious or shy in traditional classrooms. It allows them to participate in discussions more comfortably, as they can take time to think before responding. Furthermore, online learning often uses interactive tools such as videos, quizzes, and games, making learning more engaging and fun. However, online learning has its drawbacks. One major challenge is the lack of face-to-face interaction with teachers and classmates. This can make it difficult for students to build relationships, ask for help in real time, or receive emotional support. Many students also struggle with self-discipline, as online learning requires them to manage their own time and avoid distractions such as social media or TV. Another issue is the digital divide. Not all students have access to reliable internet connections, computers, or other digital devices, which puts them at a disadvantage compared to students who do. This gap can widen educational inequalities and prevent some students from benefiting from online learning. In conclusion, online learning is a valuable tool that offers flexibility and access to resources, but it cannot replace the benefits of traditional classroom learning. The best approach is to combine online and offline learning, leveraging the strengths of both to provide students with a comprehensive education. １.What is the main advantage of online learning? A. It is more interesting than traditional classroom learning. B. It allows students to study flexibly. C. It provides more face-to-face interaction. D. It is cheaper than traditional education. ２.Who can benefit more from online learning according to the passage? A. Students who are good at self-discipline. B. Students who need more face-to-face interaction. C. Students who feel shy in traditional classrooms. D. Students who have no access to digital devices. ３.What is the “digital divide” mentioned in Paragraph 5? A. The gap between students who are good at online learning and those who are not. B. The gap between students who have digital resources and those who do not. C. The difference between online learning and traditional learning. D. The difference between students’ self-discipline in online and offline learning. ４.What is the author’s attitude towards online learning? A. It should replace traditional classroom learning. B. It is useless and should be abandoned. C. It is valuable but should be combined with traditional learning. D. It is only suitable for students in big cities. 词汇积累（高考高频） １.accelerate (v.) 加速；促进；文中义：新冠疫情加速了向在线学习的转变。 　搭配：accelerate the process/shift 加速进程/转变 ２.flexibility (n.) 灵活性；弹性；文中义：在线学习的最大优势是灵活性。 　派生词：flexible (adj.) 灵活的；搭配：flexible schedule 灵活的日程 ３.interactive (adj.) 互动的；交互的；文中义：在线学习使用互动工具。 　搭配：interactive tools 互动工具；interactive courses 互动课程 ４.self-discipline (n.) 自律；自我约束；文中义：许多学生缺乏自律。 　搭配：struggle with self-discipline 难以自律；develop self-discipline 培养自律 ５.comprehensive (adj.) 全面的；综合的；文中义：提供全面的教育。 　搭配：comprehensive education 全面教育；comprehensive solution 全面解决方案 长难句分析 原句：Online learning, which allows students to study from anywhere with an internet connection, offers both advantages and disadvantages compared to traditional classroom learning.（第一段第二句） 拆分： ① 主句：Online learning offers both advantages and disadvantages compared to traditional classroom learning（与传统课堂学习相比，在线学习既有优势也有劣势）； ② 非限制性定语从句：which allows students to study from anywhere with an internet connection（which指代online learning，意为“在线学习允许学生在任何有互联网连接的地方学习”）。 释义：在线学习允许学生在任何有互联网连接的地方学习，与传统课堂学习相比，它既有优势也有劣势。 　　　　　　　　　　　　Passage 5（科技类·元宇宙与未来生活） 　　The metaverse is a term used to describe a virtual world where people can interact with each other and digital objects in a three-dimensional (3D) space. It is often seen as the next evolution of the internet, combining virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and other technologies to create a more immersive and interactive experience. 　　In the metaverse, people can create virtual avatars to represent themselves, allowing them to participate in a variety of activities. For example, they can attend virtual concerts, visit virtual museums, play online games with friends from around the world, or even work in virtual offices. The metaverse also offers new opportunities for businesses: companies can create virtual stores to sell products, host virtual events to promote their brands, and interact with customers in new ways. 　　Proponents of the metaverse argue that it will revolutionize the way we live, work, and play. They believe it will make communication more immersive, break down geographical barriers, and provide new forms of entertainment and education. For example, students can attend virtual classes in a 3D environment, making learning more engaging and interactive. Workers can collaborate with colleagues from different countries in a virtual office, reducing the need for travel. 　　However, the metaverse also faces several challenges. One major concern is privacy and security. Since the metaverse collects large amounts of personal data about users, there is a risk that this data could be stolen or misused. Additionally, the metaverse requires advanced technology such as VR headsets, which are expensive and not accessible to everyone. This could create a new digital divide between those who can afford the technology and those who cannot. 　　Another challenge is the potential for addiction. Spending too much time in the virtual world could lead to people neglecting their real-life relationships and responsibilities. Critics also worry that the metaverse could blur the line between reality and fantasy, affecting people’s mental health. 　　While the metaverse is still in its early stages of development, it is clear that it has the potential to change our lives in significant ways. As technology advances and these challenges are addressed, the metaverse may become an integral part of our future. １.What is the metaverse? A. A new type of social media platform. B.

It is too boring for most people. B. It requires expensive technology that not everyone can afford. C. It cannot be accessed via the internet. D. It is not supported by any businesses. ４.What is the author’s opinion about the metaverse? A. It will replace the real world in the future. B. It has great potential but faces many challenges. C. It is a waste of time and should be avoided. D. It is only suitable for young people. 词汇积累（高考高频） １.virtual (adj.) 虚拟的；模拟的；文中义：元宇宙是一个虚拟世界。 搭配：virtual world 虚拟世界；virtual office 虚拟办公室 ２.evolution (n.) 演变；进化；文中义：元宇宙被视为互联网的下一次演变。 搭配：the evolution of sth. ……的演变；evolve (v.) 演变 ３.revolutionize (v.) 彻底改变；革新；文中义：元宇宙将彻底改变我们的生活、工作和娱乐方式。 搭配：revolutionize the way we live 彻底改变我们的生活方式 ４.immersive (adj.) 沉浸式的；文中义：创造更沉浸式的互动体验。 派生词：immerse (v.) 沉浸；搭配：immersive experience 沉浸式体验 ５.integral (adj.) 不可或缺的；构成整体所必需的；文中义：元宇宙可能成为我们未来不可或缺的一部分。搭配：be an integral part of 是……不可或缺的一部分 长难句分析 原句：It is often seen as the next evolution of the internet, combining virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and other technologies to create a more immersive and interactive experience.（第一段第二句） 拆分： 1 主句：It is often seen as the next evolution of the internet（它常被视为互联网的下一次演变）； 2 伴随状语：combining VR, AR, and other technologies（现在分词短语表伴随，意为“结合虚拟现实、增强现实和其他技术”）； ③ 目的状语：to create a more immersive and interactive experience（不定式表目的，意为“以创造更沉浸式、更具互动性的体验”）。 释义：它常被视为互联网的下一次演变，结合了虚拟现实（VR）、增强现实（AR）和其他技术，以创造更沉浸式、更具互动性的体验。 　　　　　　　　　Passage 6（社会类·青少年心理健康与社交媒体） 　　In today’s digital age, teenagers spend a large amount of time on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. While social media can help teenagers connect with friends, share their interests, and learn about the world, there is growing concern about its impact on their mental health. 　　Studies have shown a link between excessive social media use and poor mental health in teenagers. One of the main issues is the pressure to present a “perfect” image online. Teenagers often compare themselves to others on social media, who may post only their best moments, leading to feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, and anxiety. For example, a teenager who sees their peers posting photos of expensive vacations or perfect grades may feel that they are not good enough. 　　Social media also exposes teenagers to cyberbullying, which can have a devastating impact on their mental health. Cyberbullying includes sending hurtful messages, spreading rumors, or posting embarrassing photos of others online. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying can happen at any time, and it can reach a large audience, making it difficult for teenagers to escape. 　　Additionally, excessive social media use can disrupt teenagers’ sleep. Many teenagers stay up late scrolling through social media, which affects their sleep quality and quantity. Poor sleep is closely linked to mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. 　　However, social media is not all bad for teenagers’ mental health. It can provide a sense of community for teenagers who feel isolated, such as those with unique interests or struggles. Social media also allows teenagers to access information and resources about mental health, helping them learn to cope with their emotions. 　　The key is to promote healthy social media use among teenagers. Parents and teachers can help teenagers set limits on their screen time, teach them to critically evaluate the content they see online, and encourage them to engage in offline activities such as sports, hobbies, and face-to-face interactions with friends. By doing so, we can help teenagers enjoy the benefits of social media while protecting their mental health. １.What is the main concern about social media for teenagers? A. It is too expensive to use. B. It takes up too much of their study time. C. It may harm their mental health. D. It is difficult to use for most teenagers. ２.Why does social media cause feelings of inadequacy in teenagers? A. Because teenagers have to spend a lot of money on social media. B. Because teenagers compare themselves to others’ perfect online images. C. Because social media disrupts their sleep. D. Because teenagers are often cyberbullied on social media. ３.What is cyberbullying? A. Bullying that happens in traditional classrooms. B. Sending hurtful messages or spreading rumors online. C. Comparing oneself to others on social media. D. Staying up late scrolling through social media. ４.How can parents and teachers help teenagers use social media healthily? A. By banning them from using social media completely. B. By allowing them to use social media as much as they want. C. By setting screen time limits and encouraging offline activities. D. By helping them post perfect images online. 词汇积累（高考高频） excessive (adj.) 过度的；过多的；文中义：过度使用社交媒体与青少年心理健康不佳有关。 搭配：excessive use 过度使用；excessive pressure 过度压力 inadequacy (n.) 不足；不够好；文中义：导致不足感和自卑。 派生词：inadequate (adj.) 不足的；搭配：feelings of inadequacy 不足感 cyberbullying (n.) 网络欺凌；文中义：社交媒体使青少年面临网络欺凌。 构词：cyber-（网络的）+ bullying（欺凌） devastating (adj.) 毁灭性的；极具破坏力的；文中义：网络欺凌对心理健康有毁灭性影响。 搭配：devastating impact 毁灭性影响 cope (v.) 应对；处理；文中义：帮助青少年学会应对情绪。 搭配：cope with sth. 应对某事；cope with stress 应对压力 长难句分析 原句：Teenagers often compare themselves to others on social media, who may post only their best moments, leading to feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, and anxiety.（第二段第三句） 拆分： ① 主句：Teenagers often compare themselves to others on social media（青少年经常在社交媒体上与他人作比较）； ② 非限制性定语从句：who may post only their best moments（who指代others，意为“这些人可能只发布自己最好的时刻”）； ③ 结果状语：leading to feelings of...and anxiety（现在分词短语表结果，意为“从而导致不足感、自卑和焦虑”）。 释义：青少年经常在社交媒体上与他人作比较，这些人可能只发布自己最好的时刻，从而导致他们产生不足感、自卑和焦虑情绪。 　　　２０２６年高考英语二轮复习阅读理解每日一练拓展篇　解析版 　　　　　　　　　　　Passage 4（教育类·在线学习的利弊） Answers & Explanations １.B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“One of the biggest advantages of online learning is flexibility.”可知，在线学习最大的优势之一是灵活性。A项“比传统课堂学习更有趣”、C项“提供更多面对面交流”、D项“比传统教育更便宜”均未提及，或与文意不符（C项为在线学习的缺点）。 ２.C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Online learning also benefits students who may feel anxious or shy in traditional classrooms.”可知，在传统课堂上感到焦虑或害羞的学生能从在线学习中获得更多益处。A项“自律性强的学生”、B项“需要更多面对面交流的学生”、D项“没有数字设备的学生”均不符合题意（B、D项是在线学习的劣势相关人群）。 ３.B 词义猜测题。根据第五段第二句“Not all students have access to reliable internet connections, computers, or other digital devices, which puts them at a disadvantage compared to students who do.”可知，并非所有学生都能获得可靠的互联网连接、电脑或其他数字设备，这使他们比有这些设备的学生处于劣势，由此可推测“digital divide”指的是“有数字资源和没有数字资源的学生之间的差距”。A项“擅长在线学习和不擅长在线学习的学生之间的差距”、C项“在线学习和传统学习的区别”、D项“学生在在线和离线学习中自律性的区别”均不符合文意。 ４.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, online learning is a valuable tool that offers flexibility and access to resources, but it cannot replace the benefits of traditional classroom learning.
