He went on to study 3D graphics software in order to better display the microscopic structures in his field and improve the presentation of his papers.(在大学学习化学时，Wang Yixi经常遇到一个实验准备过程，他必须解释，但文字量太大，太抽象。由于她一直对绘画和Photoshop等相关软件感兴趣，他决定把他的图形变成一门美术。他继续学习3D图形软件，以便更好地展示他所在领域的微观结构，并改善他的论文的呈现)”以及最后一段““Every scientific paper is innovative, and graphics are an essential part of scientific papers,” Wang says, adding that what he tries to achieve is an explanation of models or methods, to showcase experimental results, visually process data or compare differences among experiments.(王说：“每一篇科学论文都是创新的，图表是科学论文的重要组成部分。”他补充说，他试图实现的是对模型或方法的解释，展示实验结果，可视化处理数据或比较实验之间的差异)”可知，王通过生动地想象使抽象论文易于理解。故选A。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段“The achievement was completed after Wang Yixi and his team made the cover of an October issue of Structure, a US-based Cell Press journal. The cover shows a Chinese ink painting that vividly shows the process in which a special enzyme (酶) involved in the biosynthesis (生物合成) of an important organic compound is activated―the latest breakthrough by a Chinese scientific research team. Another one of his popular works that carries distinctive Chinese elements is a composite image, describing a scientist as the folk goddess Nyuwa, carrying her newly discovered compound to fill a crack in the sky.(在Wang Yixi和他的团队登上美国细胞出版社杂志《结构》10月刊的封面后，这一成就得以完成。封面是一幅中国水墨画，生动地展示了一种重要有机化合物的生物合成过程中一种特殊的酶被激活的过程——这是中国科研团队的最新突破。他的另一幅颇受欢迎的带有鲜明中国元素的作品是一幅合成图像，将一名科学家描绘成民间女神女娲，她带着新发现的化合物填补天空的裂缝)”结合文章可知，全文核心围绕 “王艺熹用艺术形式（绘画、3D 可视化）让复杂科学内容变得易懂，作品登上顶级期刊” 展开，体现了“艺术的力量”（The power of art）对科学传播的推动作用。A选项最符合文章标题。故选A。 02 福建省六地市2026届高三毕业班1月第一次模拟测试测 C篇 本文是一篇议论文。主要驳斥手机摄影缺乏艺术深度的误解，阐述其与胶片摄影的不同创作逻辑及共同的艺术价值。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, there is a common misunderstanding that mobile photography, compared to film photography, reduces creation to a shallow form of photographic note-taking rather than true art.(然而，有一种普遍的误解，认为与胶片摄影相比，手机摄影将创作简化为一种肤浅的摄影笔记形式，而非真正的艺术。)”可知，人们对手机摄影的常见误解是它缺乏艺术深度。故选A项。 【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When we take photos with a phone, our brain is in a‘rapid capture’mode; whereas with a film camera, it enters a‘deliberate composition’state. Functional MRI (核磁共振) studies have shown that when using a smartphone, areas of the brain linked to quick decision-making are more active. In contrast, when using a film camera, the networks related to sense of beauty and precise hand control show stronger connectivity.(当我们用手机拍照时，大脑处于‘快速捕捉’模式；而用胶片相机时，大脑会进入‘刻意构图’状态。功能磁共振成像（FMRI）研究表明，使用智能手机拍照时，大脑中与快速决策相关的区域更为活跃。相比之下，使用胶片相机时，与美感及精准手部控制相关的神经网络连接性更强。)”可知，手机摄影和胶片摄影涉及截然不同的心理过程。故选C项。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“With a film camera, you must think through everything before taking the picture — composition, exposure, timing. This forces you to slow down and truly learn to ‘see’.(用胶片相机拍照时，你必须在按下快门前进⾏周全考虑——构图、曝光、时机。这迫使你放慢脚步，真正学会‘观察’。)”可知，David Yorke认为胶片摄影能培养专注的观察力。故选B项。 【31题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇驳斥对手机摄影的误解，接着通过科学研究和专家观点分析两者的创作差异（手机摄影的快速捕捉 vs 胶片摄影的刻意构图），最后总结两者并非相互替代，而是共同丰富艺术表达。D项“两种成像模式，一种创作艺术”既涵盖核心对比，又点明共同的艺术本质，契合最佳标题。故选D项。 D篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究发现养狗能改善人类心理健康，且这一益处可能与狗向人类传递肠道微生物有关，并详细阐述了相关研究过程与结论。 【32题详解】词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Companion dogs might not help secure food, but for years evidence has mounted that they help diminish anxiety and improve sociality.(伴侣犬可能无法帮助获取食物，但多年来，越来越多的证据表明它们有助于diminish焦虑并提高社交能力)”可知，句中but体现转折关系，前文说伴侣犬不能获取食物，后文应说明其积极作用，diminish anxiety与improve sociality并列，均为积极影响，结合选项可推测diminish意为“减少”，与Reduce意思相近。故选D项。 【33题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The brain does not exist on its own. The microbes found elsewhere, particularly in the gut, produce chemical compounds (化合物) that influence how the brain works. With this in mind, Dr Kikusui wondered if microbe transfer from dogs might be helping bring psychological benefits to owners. Keen to find out, he set up an experiment with 343 participants in Tokyo, focusing specifically on teenagers, as adolescence is a crucial period of brain development when social interactions often have lasting mental effects.(大脑并不是独立存在的。在其他地方发现的微生物，尤其是在肠道内的微生物，会产生影响大脑运作的化合物。考虑到这一点，菊水武文博士想知道，从狗身上转移的微生物是否有助于给主人带来心理益处。为了找到答案，他在东京对343名参与者进行了一项实验，特别关注青少年，因为青春期是大脑发育的关键时期，此时的社交互动往往会对心理产生持久影响)”可知，该段首先介绍了研究的生物学基础（肠道微生物影响大脑运作），接着说明研究的动机（探究狗的微生物转移是否带来心理益处），还提及了实验的设置，核心是阐述研究的生物学基础和动机。故选C项。 【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The next step would have been to introduce dog-associated microbes directly into the bodies of non-dog-owning teenagers. Since that is an ethically grey area, Dr Kikusui worked instead with mice.(下一步本应是将与狗相关的微生物直接引入不养狗的青少年体内。由于这处于伦理灰色地带，菊水博士转而用老鼠进行实验)”可知，直接对人类青少年进行实验可能会引发伦理方面的担忧，所以研究人员选择用老鼠做实验。故选C项。 【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Dr Kikusui admits that making direct comparisons between mice and humans is far from perfect, but his findings nonetheless indicate that the microbiotic changes brought about by dog ownership influence the brain. If the conclusions hold, it seems that the path to a healthier mind may begin not with careful self-reflection, but with the companionship of dogs.(菊水博士承认，直接比较老鼠和人类并不完美，但他的研究结果仍然表明，养狗带来的微生物变化会影响大脑。如果这些结论成立，那么通往更健康心智的道路似乎可能不是始于仔细的自我反思，而是始于狗的陪伴)”可推断，与狗相处可能有助于心理健康。故选B项。 03 福建省泉州市2026届普通高中毕业班质量检测（二） C篇 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者通过自身经历和实践活动，强调了通过直接体验和实践学习的重要性，认为持久的学习来自于个人参与实践。 【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“At first, I held back from joining him.

(然而，这些本土生物如今正因由入侵蚊子传播的致命疾病禽疟疾而难以生存。)”可知，一种蚊媒疾病正威胁着蜜旋木雀的生存。故选B项。 【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“A drone can’t carry as many mosquitoes as a helicopter can — just 23,000 compared to 250,000 — but it’s safer, because it doesn’t require any humans to be on board. Drones are also easier to arrange at a moment’s notice, which is a major benefit in an area with often unpredictable weather. (无人机不能像直升机那样携带那么多蚊子——只有23000只，而直升机则可携带约250 000只——但它更安全，因为它不需要任何人在飞机上。无人机也更容易随时安排，这在天气经常不可预测的地区是一个主要的好处。)”可知，无人机操作更安全、灵活性更强，这是项目更换投放载体的原因。故选C项。 【10题详解】主旨大意题。根据第四段“The mosquitoes are being dropped inside small capsules. Each capsule contains roughly 1,000 males, which are kept alive inside a temperature-controlled transport box attached to the drone. (这些蚊子被装在小胶囊中投放。每个胶囊大约装有1000只雄蚊，它们被养在无人机上的温控运输箱中维持生命。)”及后续内容可知，本段主要介绍实验室培育的蚊子的投放方式。故选B项。 【11题详解】词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Thus, curbing the mosquito population with methods like the BNM project may be the birds’ only chance to survive. (因此，通过“鸟类而非蚊子项目”这类方法来curbing蚊子数量，可能是这些鸟类仅存的生存机会。)”并结合前文可知，蚊子数量得到控制，夏威夷蜜旋木雀才可能生存，划线词curbing意为“控制”。故选D项。 D篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了计算机科学家卡尔·纽波特在其著作中提出的观点——电子邮件这一发明虽带来便利，却让人们陷入“邮件奴役”，影响工作效率和情绪，并探讨了相关解决办法。 【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The average knowledge worker sends and receives 126 emails daily, which ruins focus, making them less productive and more irritable (易怒的).

Multitasking is a myth. We can’t think clearly while dealing with an overflowing inbox. We’re wired to prefer real-time conversations, where everyone gets updates together. Back in small tribes (部落), we needed daily chats to feel connected. Now, in a digital world, that ancient urge makes us anxious if we don’t reply to every email instantly. (若不是有一个问题，这一切或许还能忍受：现代电子信息传递与我们自身信息处理能力不匹配。多任务处理只是个神话。面对塞满的收件箱，我们无法清晰思考。我们天生更喜欢实时对话，所有人能一起获取最新信息。回到小部落时代，我们需要日常交流来感受联结。如今，在数字世界里，这种古老的渴望让我们若不立即回复每一封邮件就会感到焦虑)”可知，该段先提出核心问题（信息传递与处理能力不匹配），再分析多任务处理的误区、人类对实时交流的天生偏好及古今场景下的心理变化，以此剖析电子邮件带来困扰的原因，是通过分析原因展开段落的。故选C项。 【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Despite his book’s title, Newport isn’t against all electronic messaging. What drives him to desperation is how we use it. With office workers nodding in hearty agreement, Newport offers some solutions. A German company invented the No Email Day. Productivity went up, even though it shortened the work time. The goal was for everyone to approach their work more deliberately without rushing. Some companies use an application called Trello to allow workers to access the necessary data and decide when to jump in and get things done. (尽管书名如此，纽波特并非反对所有电子信息传递。让他绝望的是我们使用电子邮件的方式。在上班族们由衷认同的同时，纽波特提出了一些解决方案。一家德国公司设立了“无邮件日”，尽管缩短了工作时间，效率却提高了。其目的是让每个人更从容地处理工作，而不是匆忙行事。一些公司使用一款名为Trello的应用程序，让员工可以获取必要的数据，并决定何时投入工作、完成任务)”可知，纽波特提及部分公司的做法（无邮件日、使用Trello应用），是为了说明这些方案能让员工自主决定工作节奏，体现了工作自主性的重要性。故选A项。 【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Computer scientist Cal Newport now adds email to the list of life’s troubles. In his book A World Without Email, he argues this once-brilliant invention has made us suffer.(计算机科学家卡尔·纽波特（Cal Newport）现在将电子邮件添加到生活烦恼的列表中。在他的《没有电子邮件的世界》一书中，他认为这个曾经辉煌的发明让我们受苦。)”、第二段中“Newport says we’ve become slaves to email trapped in a “hyperactive hive mind”(纽波特说，我们已经成为电子邮件的奴隶，陷入了“过度活跃的蜂群思维”。)”并结合全文内容可知，文章围绕纽波特的观点展开，核心是电子邮件让人们陷入过度活跃的群体思维，成为邮件的奴隶，影响效率和情绪，并介绍了相关解决办法。B项“邮件奴役”精准概括了文章核心主旨，贴合原文中“slaves to email”的表述，适合作为本文最佳标题。故选B项。 05 广东省佛山市2026届高三普通高中教学质量检测(一) C篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍加州大学洛杉矶分校通过整体方法（结合去化学化和野化）实现校园可持续发展，并阐述该方法对环境和人类健康的意义。 【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“On a typical sunny day at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), small native bushes (灌木) wave where tidy grasslands used to be, bees fly over flowers, and students walk on a campus alive with biodiversity.(在加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）一个典型的晴天，曾经整洁的草地如今长满了摇曳的本地小灌木，蜜蜂在花丛上空飞舞，学生们行走在生物多样性丰富的校园里)”可知，作者通过描述UCLA校园发生变化的景观来引入文章主题。故选B项。 【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“This is why Re: wild Your Campus created the Green Grounds Certification-to center both chemical elimination and rewilding and to link them together. Schools that are taking such a holistic approach to campus management can be honored and uplifted.(这就是Re: wild Your Campus创建绿色场地认证的原因——以消除化学物质和野化修复为核心，并将两者结合起来。采用这种整体方法进行校园管理的学校将获得荣誉和支持)”以及第三段中的“While wildflowers bring buzzing bees, true ecological restoration is weakened if pesticides (农药) and fertilizers are used.(虽然野花能吸引嗡嗡作响的蜜蜂，但如果使用农药和化肥，真正的生态修复就会受到影响)”可知，整体方法避免使用农药等化学物质。故选B项。 【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第六段“Beyond environmental health, a rewilding approach can help safeguard human health. Students are closely connected to the outdoor settings of their colleges where pesticides can stay in the air, settle on picnic tables, and be tracked into dorm rooms.(除了环境健康，野化修复方法还有助于保护人类健康。学生与大学 户外环境密切相关，农药会留在空气中，落在野餐桌上，并被带入宿舍)”可知，作者提到“野餐桌”是为了强调农药对学生的健康风险。故选D项。 【11题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕“整体方法”展开，介绍其核心是结合消除化学物质和野化修复，能实现校园环境和人类健康的双重保障，助力校园可持续发展，UCLA的案例也印证了这一点。C项“整体方法：迈向可持续校园”贴合主旨，可以作本文的最佳标题。故选C项。 D篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“周一忧郁症”对健康的影响及相关研究及应对建议。 【12题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The stress and anxiety experienced on Monday seems to ease as the week unfolds. But is the stress and anxiety biologically distinct? Furthermore, could the fleeting changes in mood leave a mark on people’s body even after they stop working?(人们在周一感受到的压力与焦虑，似乎会随着一周的推进逐渐缓解。但这种压力和焦虑在生理层面是否存在特殊性？此外，即便工作日结束，这种fleeting情绪波动是否仍会在人们的身体上留下印记？)”可知，周一的情绪变化是会慢慢消失的，并非长久的，故fleeting意为“短暂的”。故选C。 【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“When we experience a stressor, the brain activates the release of cortisol, which helps us to manage short-term stress. But constant high levels of cortisol disturb the brain and bodily systems, increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, heart disease, diabetes and obesity.(当我们经历压力时，大脑会激活皮质醇的释放，帮助我们应对短期压力。但是持续高水平的皮质醇会扰乱大脑和身体系统，增加焦虑、抑郁、心脏病、糖尿病和肥胖的风险。)”可知，作者在本段揭示了压力是如何在生物学上损害健康的。故选D。 【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Chandola studied 3,511 participants aged 50 and older in England, and the results were striking. Older adults who reported feeling anxious on Mondays had, on average, 23 percent higher levels of cortisol up to two months later, compared with those who felt anxious on other days. And the effect was not limited to those still working; retirees who felt anxious on Mondays also showed higher cortisol.(Chandola研究了英格兰3511名50岁及以上的参与者，结果令人震惊。与在其他日子感到焦虑的老年人相比，那些在周一感到焦虑的老年人平均在两个月后皮质醇水平高出23%。而且这种影响并不局限于仍在工作的人；周一感到焦虑的退休人员皮质醇水平也较高。)”可知，Chandola的研究发现周一焦虑是一些人一生的负担。故选B。 【15题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Finally, researchers will need to investigate why some people are resilient (适应力强) to Monday anxiety while others are not. That question might open the door to interventions that help people start the week not just with a groan but with greater resilience.(最后，研究人员需要调查为什么有些人对周一焦虑有适应力，而有些人则没有。这个问题可能会为干预措施打开大门，帮助人们不仅以叹息开始新的一周，而且以更强的适应力开始新的一周。)”可知，作者建议研究人员进行进一步的研究。故选A。 06 广西南宁市2026届普通高中毕业班第一次适应性测试 C篇 本文是一篇书评。主要介绍《与时间赛跑》的核心主旨、作者韦斯的运动经历，还评析了作品的写作风格与核心价值，展现其励志与真诚的特点。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This is followed by goal setting and forming a structured plan, which becomes the defining feature of his training.

S. Geological Survey. An oak (橡树) tree, by comparison, can transpire about 40,000 gallons of moisture in a year, an average of about 109 gallons per day.(根据美国地质调查局的数据，仅一英亩玉米每天就能释放3000至4000加仑的水分。相比之下，一棵橡树每年蒸腾约4万加仑水分，日均约109加仑。)”可知，作者在提到一英亩玉米每日释放大量水分后，又引入橡树的数据进行对比，旨在通过具体的数据突显玉米在单位时间内释放水分的速率极高。故选D。 【30题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章划线词后文的内容“meaning that there is more water in the soil for corn to absorb and transpire, which adds more water vapor to the air and further fuels warming.(意味着土壤中有更多水分供玉米吸收和蒸腾，从而向空气中添加更多水汽，进一步加剧升温。)”可推知，划线词后文提到土壤中有更多的水分供玉米吸收和蒸腾，故此处划线词与D项“Rainfall(降雨)”意思相近，即中西部更暖的天气导致更多降水，意味着土壤中有更多水分供玉米吸收和蒸腾。故选D。 【31题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段““When the air is dry, you sweat and the evaporation cools you off,” says Mohler. “But that doesn’t work as well in humid conditions, because there is so much moisture in the atmosphere already. That’s why you feel that much more miserable when it’s humid as well as hot.”(Mohler解释道：“空气干燥时，人体通过出汗和汗液蒸发实现降温。但在潮湿条件下，由于大气中已含有大量水分，这种降温机制会失效。这就是为什么在湿热天气里人们会感到格外难受。”)”可知，在干燥空气中，汗液蒸发能帮你降温；但在湿热的条件下，由于空气中已充满水分，汗液无法有效被排出，从而令人更加不适。故选C。 D篇 本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了单细胞分析技术的优势、意义与广阔前景。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Until recently, when scientists studied cells from people and animals, they often had to examine large samples, producing an average of results from many kinds of cells. The process was like trying to learn about bananas by studying a smoothie—a drink made from different types of fruit.(直到最近，科学家在研究人和动物的细胞时，通常还不得不检测大量样本，从多种细胞类型中得出一个平均化结果。这个过程就像试图通过研究一杯混合果汁（由多种水果制成）来了解香蕉。)”可知，过去的研究方法需要检测包含多种细胞类型的大样本，得出的结果是各类细胞的平均值，这就像通过研究混合水果奶昔来了解香蕉一样，无法精确研究单个细胞的具体情况。因此，旧方法的缺点是无法准确研究单个细胞。故选B。 【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Scientists can study genetic material in each cell and learn about the relationships between cells. The result, notes the journal Science, is that researchers can follow the development of people and other organisms in incredible detail.(科学家可以研究每个细胞中的遗传物质，并了解细胞之间的关系。《科学》杂志指出，其成果是研究者能够以前所未有的细节追踪人类及其他生物体的发育过程。)”可知，单细胞分析使科学家能够直接研究单个细胞的活动和遗传结构，从而追踪生物体的发育过程。这意味着科学家能更彻底地了解生物体。故选C。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Francis Collins, who is the former director of the National Institutes of Health, recently noted the importance of such techniques for understanding human beings. “Single-cell analysis is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of our biology and health,” he said.(美国国立卫生研究院前院长Francis Collins最近强调了此类技术对理解人类的重要性。他表示：“单细胞分析对于我们全面理解自身生物学和健康至关重要。”)”、文章第四段“Jonathan Weissman is a stem cell biologist at the University of California San Francisco. He notes that single-cell analysis lets scientists ask much more detailed, exacting questions than they could in the past.(加州大学旧金山分校的干细胞生物学家Jonathan Weissman指出，单细胞分析让科学家能够提出比过去更详细、更精确的问题。)”和文章第五段“Nicholas Navin is a professor from the MD Anderson Cancer Center. He uses single-cell DNA studies to discover patterns of mutations in cells of a cancerous tumor. These studies let Navin recreate when and where those mutations appeared as the tumor developed. That information helps him identify cells that contain combinations of mutations that make them the deadliest.(MD安德森癌症中心的Nicholas Navin教授利用单细胞DNA研究来发现癌变肿瘤细胞的突变模式。这些研究让纳文能够重构肿瘤发展过程中这些突变出现的时间和位置。这些信息帮助他识别出含有多种突变组合、最具致命性的细胞。)”可知，最后三段通过科学家的观点和具体应用案例，说明了单细胞分析技术在生物学、健康以及癌症研究等方面的关键作用和广阔应用前景。故选D。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“In recent years, scientists have developed methods that let them directly study the activity of cells and the genetic structure of individual cells. Single-cell analysis is the term for a group of techniques that scientists have developed for isolating or separating cells from living organisms.(近年来，科学家已开发出能直接研究单个细胞活动及其基因结构的方法。单细胞分析是科学家开发出的一系列技术的总称，用于从活体生物中分离细胞。)”以及全文内容可知，全文围绕单细胞分析技术的优势、意义及其在生物学和医学领域的革命性影响展开，强调其突破性与革命性意义。故C项“Single-Cell Analysis: A Biological Revolution(单细胞分析：一场生物革命)”能概括文章内容，符合文章标题。故选C。 08 湖北省黄冈市2026届高三上学期期末考试 C篇 主题语境：人与自然（生命科学与动物演化） 这是一篇说明文，聚焦哺乳动物寿命差异的影响因素展开。文章首先提及“脑容量和代谢率是此前公认的寿命影响因素”, 随后引出英国巴斯大学进化研究者的新发现——免疫系统是另一关键因素，且该因素能解释猫比狗寿命更长的现象。研究未否定原有因素，而是提出寿命由多种因素共同作用；通过对46种哺乳动物的基因对比分析，证实长寿物种拥有更多免疫相关基因，最后介绍了研究者后续的深入研究方向。 第28题. C 推理判断题。解析：第一段开篇先呈现“此前研究者确定脑容量和代谢率是影响寿命的因素”这一既往研究发现，随后通过转折词“but”引出英国巴斯大学研究者的新发现——免疫系统是影响寿命的另一关键因素，这种“既往发现与新发现相对照”的表述方式，正是选项C “By comparing findings”(通过对比研究发现)的核心内涵。故选C。 第29题. C 细节理解题。解析：依据第三段“The researchers investigated the maximum lifespan of 46 different mammalian species, comparing the animals' genes”可知，巴斯大学的研究人员通过对比46种哺乳动物的基因特征来探究其寿命差异，故选C。 第30题. D 推理判断题。解析：前文提到研究人员曾认为大脑大小和新陈代谢率是影响寿命的因素，而裸鼹鼠体型小、大脑小，却能存活20年，远超预期，这一例子是为了证明“体型和大脑大小并非决定寿命的关键因素”, 故选D。 第31题. B 细节理解题。解析：根据最后一段“The researcher now intends to look deeper into significant differences in the lifespans of different mammals by investigating specific genes that relate to cancer and other life-shortening diseases” 可知，研究人员下一步计划探究与癌症及其他缩短寿命的疾病相关的特定基因，故选B。 D篇 主题语境：人与社会（科技发展与空间探索） 这是一篇说明文，介绍了中国科研团队完成的一项激光实验— 在日光条件下， 从地球向距地13万公里的月球轨道卫星发射激光并成功接收返回信号。该实验攻克了日光干 扰的技术难题，实现了远距离高精度空间测量，更关键的是为未来高速深空通信(如月球、火星基地与地球的通信)奠定了基础，激光通信的数据传输速度据称是无线电波的100 倍，展 现了中国在空间技术领域的重大突破。 第32题.

The answer lies in the conservation of angular momentum (动量).(那么，银河系为何是扁平的呢？答案在于角动量守恒定律)”可知，银河系之所以呈扁平的圆盘状，是因为角动量守恒。故选B。 【30题详解】推理判断题。 根据第四段的“As these waves travel through the galaxy's disc, they squeeze gas, starting the birth of bright young star groups that outline the arms.(当这些波穿越星系盘面时，它们会挤压气体，从而开始形成勾勒出旋臂轮廓的明亮年轻星团)”可知，银河系的旋臂上有新恒星诞生。故选B。 【31题详解】主旨大意题。 根据第一段的“Our galaxy (星系) is in a state of constant evolution.(我们的星系处于不断演化的状态)”以及下文对银河系形成、扁平形状原因、旋臂特点以及未来变化的描述可知，本文主要讲述了银河系的演化过程及其特点。故选A。 D篇 这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Daniel Kahneman提出的大脑两种认知系统的特点、运作方式、进化成因，以及这一研究发现的现实应用。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Upon observing the figure, one quickly sees it as a picture of a sorrowful young boy — a judgment formed without deliberate thought.(看到这幅画像时，人们会立刻觉得这是一个悲伤的小男孩——这是一种未经刻意思考就形成的判断。)”及“The photograph is an example of System 1 thinking, characterized by its rapid, intuitive, and largely unconscious nature.(这张照片是系统1思维的一个例子，其特点是快速、直觉性且很大程度上是无意识的。)” 可知，悲伤男孩的照片是系统 1 快速判断的例证。故选B。 【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Now, attempt to mentally compute 18×26 within 30 seconds, without external aids. Most individuals give up on this task, which is an example of System 2 thinking. This mode is slow, demanding, and requires conscious effort; pupils even widen during such hard work.(现在，试着在30秒内、不借助任何外部工具，用心算出18×26的结果。大多数人都会放弃这项任务，这正是系统2思维的一个典型例子。这种思维模式速度慢、耗费精力，而且需要有意识的努力；在进行这种高强度脑力活动时，人的瞳孔甚至会放大。)”及第三段“Consider another puzzle: a bat and a ball together cost $ 1.10. The bat costs $ 1.00 more than the ball. What is the ball's price? Many instinctively answer 10 cents, an intuitive yet incorrect response. The accurate answer is 5 cents.(再来思考另一个谜题：一个球棒和一个球总共花费1.10美元。球棒比球贵1.00美元。球的价格是多少？很多人会本能地回答10美分，这是一个凭直觉得出、但并不正确的答案。正确答案是5美分。)”可知，18×26 的计算和球棒球的问题都说明系统2需要付出脑力努力。故选C。 【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第六段“Furthermore, while deeply focused on finding food, an individual might fail to see an approaching lion. Consequently, the brain frequently turns to the straightforward, automatic responses offered by System 1, with the more hard-working System 2 often agreeing to its suggestions.(此外，当一个人全神贯注寻找食物时，可能会注意不到正在靠近的狮子。因此，大脑常常会采用系统1提供的直接、自动化的反应，而更为费力的系统2则往往会认同这些判断。)”可知，系统1能对危险做出快速反应，从而在进化中帮助人类生存。故选D。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This reliance on System 1 is generally helpful, enabling survival, processing vast information flows, and making the world understandable. You can take advantage of this tendency to make instinctive decisions to get people to do things. A request framed simply and intuitively will likely activate System 1 like appealing to people to donate by featuring a heartbreaking photo of a single starving child. Conversely, needing careful thought demands intentionally slowing the process to awake System 2 like investing in a retirement plan; otherwise, the automatic system wins, and its swift, effortless answer carries the day.(这种对系统1的依赖通常是有益的，它使生存成为可能，处理大量信息流，并使世界变得易于理解。你可以利用这种倾向，做出本能的决定，去引导他人采取行动。一个表述简单、符合直觉的诉求可能会激活系统1，就像通过一张令人心碎的饥饿儿童照片来呼吁人们捐款一样。相反，需要仔细思考需要故意放慢唤醒系统2的过程，就像投资退休计划一样；否则，自动系统将获胜，其快速、轻松的答案将占上风)”可知，本段主要介绍了该研究发现的潜在应用。故选C。 10 湖北省襄阳市2026届高三上学期期末考试 C篇 本文是一篇科普文章，介绍了一种旨在改善耳蜗植入者音乐体验的创新设备——振动背心。文章指出，耳蜗植入者通常在感知音乐的音高、音调和旋律方面存在困难，导致其媒体参与感和情感共鸣不足。该振动背心通过内置电机制动器，将音乐中的低频信号同步转化为身体可感知的物理振动，从而增强使用者的沉浸感和情感唤起水平。初步试验表明，该技术能带来更强烈的音乐体验，为听力受损人群的康复治疗提供了新的希望。 28. What is the function of the vibration vest? 答案：A. To help cochlear implant users perceive music more vividly. 文章第一段末尾描述了使用者的体验：“the vibrations made the listening experience more intense.”（振动使听音乐体验更强烈。）第二段指出耳蜗植入者在感知音乐方面存在困难。综合全文，尤其是第四段Turchet的总结“These technologies lead to deeper immersion in musical experience”（这些技术带来了更深层的音乐沉浸体验），可以明确振动背心的核心功能是帮助耳蜗植入者更生动、更强烈地感知音乐。A选项正确。B选项（替代耳机）错误，文中使用者同时使用耳机和背心。C选项（治愈听力损失）夸大其词，背心是辅助设备而非治疗手段。D选项（调节音乐节奏以匹配身体节奏）无中生有。 29. How does the vibrating vest work according to the passage? 答案：B. It shifts electrical signals from music into physical vibrations. 根据第三段对背心工作原理的描述：“The vest translated the bass frequencies… into a signal that could be felt physically through vibrations…, which converted the electrical signal from the digitized music into synchronized mechanical motion.”（背心将低频……转化为可通过振动被身体感知的信号……，它将来自数字化音乐的电信号转化为同步的机械运动。）这清晰地说明了其工作流程是：音乐电信号 → 转化为 → 物理振动。因此B选项准确。A（改变音高和旋律）和C（调整低频以适应需求）是对“翻译低频”这一过程的曲解，背心是“转化”而非“改变或调整”音乐本身。D（固定制动器来感知旋律）只描述了设备部件，未解释核心工作原理。 30. What is Turchet’s attitude towards the vibrating vest? 答案：C. Promising. 定位到最后一段Turchet的言论：“I hope that this result, which to me seems so inspiring, brings a glimmer of hope…”（我希望这个令我深受鼓舞的结果，能带来一线希望……），以及“These technologies lead to deeper immersion… and also a higher level of arousal.”（这些技术带来更深的沉浸……和更高水平的唤起。）他的用语“inspiring”（鼓舞人心的）、“glimmer of hope”（一线希望）和积极的效果描述，都表明他对这项技术持积极、乐观、充满希望的态度。C选项“Promising”（有希望的）最符合。A（批判的）、B（保守的）、D（悲观的）均与原文积极的语气不符。 31. What may be the best title for the passage? 答案：B. Vibrating Vests: Revolution from Motion to Emotion 全文核心对象是“振动背心”（Vibrating Vests），核心内容是它如何通过物理振动（Motion）来增强耳蜗植入者的音乐情感体验（Emotion）。B选项“振动背心：从运动到情感的变革”准确抓住了这一核心，且“Revolution”一词体现了其创新性和潜在影响力。A和D选项的核心是“Cochlear Implants”（耳蜗植入物），偏离了文章介绍新设备的重点。C选项“振动背心：听力受损人士的设备”虽提及对象和人群，但过于宽泛平淡，未能突出其独特的工作原理（将运动转化为情感体验）和革新意义。 D篇 本文探讨了以美国为代表的发达国家在教育科技（ed-tech）应用态度上的显著转变。文章指出，在人工智能（尤其是以ChatGPT为代表的生成式AI）加剧大规模作弊的背景下，瑞典、丹麦、芬兰等发达国家正从最初全面拥抱课堂科技，转向限制低年级数字工具、回归实体教科书、手写和阅读等传统教学方法。这种转变源于对AI助长作弊的担忧、手写对认知益处的再认识，以及课堂科技在学习成果上证据不足的反思。然而，文章也指出，由于资源不足、家长群体态度不一等因素，这种“回归基础”的变革在实践中面临挑战。文章最后提出，在课堂中为学生提供安静、不受干扰的“慢思考”时间可能更具价值。 32. What can be concluded from paragraph 1? 答案：C. America holds a controversial attitude towards ed-tech. 第一段开篇即点明：“The battle regarding classroom tech in America is raging in other rich countries.”（关于课堂科技的争论正在美国和其他富裕国家激烈进行。）“raging battle”（激烈的争论）直接表明了美国对此议题存在巨大争议。因此，C选项“美国对教育科技持有争议态度”是对首句的准确概括。A选项说瑞典态度一致，但原文明确其从“all-in on technology”到“banned digital tools”，态度发生了转变。B选项与原文“丹麦、芬兰在同一阵营（限制科技）”相反。D选项“富国不愿投资数字设备”与原文“richer countries are restricting... even as they invest in more digital infrastructure”（即使投资更多数字基础设施，也在限制）不符，它们并非不愿投资，而是投资后在使用上更加审慎。 33. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason for the change? 答案：D. Adequate assistants are employed for the original exams. 题干问“哪一项不是导致（态度）变化的原因？”，即需要找出与文章描述不符的选项。A选项（作弊规模急剧增加）是原因：第二段引用专家的话指出，AI出现后作弊的“规模（magnitude）已大不相同”。B选项（并非所有父母都愿意普及教育科技）是原因：第四段提到“All parents often can’t easily opt out... it is the wealthy and educated who want less tech”（所有父母通常无法轻易退出……是那些富裕且受过良好教育的人希望减少课堂科技），说明家长群体内部有分歧，支持变革的意愿并不统一。C选项（手写更有助于学生认知）是原因：第三段明确指出“the benefits handwriting offers for cognition are gaining new respect”（手写对认知的好处正获得新的重视）。D选项（为原始考试雇佣了足够的助教）不是原因，且与原文描述相反。第四段提到，虽然大家同意需要回归到“original, in-person, pen-and-paper exams”（原始的、面对面的纸笔考试），但“large public universities are not providing resources adequate... by hiring enough teaching assistants”（大型公立大学没有通过雇佣足够助教来提供足够的资源）。因此，没有雇佣足够的助教正是变革面临的阻碍，而非推动变革的原因。所以D选项为正确答案。 34. What does the “speaking out of both sides of their mouths” mean? 答案：C. Inconsistent. 这个短语是习语，意为“说一套做一套”、“言行不一”或“自相矛盾”。定位到第四段末尾。上下文指出，一方面有共识需要“回归基础”，但另一方面“大型公立大学没有提供足够的资源（如雇佣足够助教）”。因此，管理者们（Administrators）嘴上说支持变革，行动上却没有提供必要支持，这就是言行不一致、自相矛盾的表现。C选项（不一致的）正确。 35. What is the main idea of the passage? 答案：B. AI is accelerating a tech rejection. 全文的核心脉络是：以AI（尤其是ChatGPT）为代表的新技术，因其助长大规模作弊等问题，正在加速发达国家对课堂科技的反思和排斥，促使它们回归传统教学方式（手写、纸质书、无干扰课堂）。B选项“AI正在加速一场对科技的排斥” 精准概括了这一核心过程。A选项（AI正在重塑美国教育科技）表述模糊，未体现“排斥/限制”这一关键转向。C选项（AI正被传统课堂取代）过于绝对，文章讨论的是“限制”和“重新平衡”，而非完全取代。D选项（AI正成为美国教育的优先事项）与文章主旨完全相反。 11 湖南省长沙市2026届高三模拟考试（期末） C篇 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了入侵物种——斑马贻贝（zebra mussel）的来源、传播方式、对生态环境的破坏性影响（如争夺食物、破坏生态平衡）以及对人类造成的实际问题（如堵塞管道），并最终指出了防治其扩散的困难及当前采取的主要预防措施。 28. Why does the author mention the environmental problems in the beginning? 答案：A. To introduce the topic. 文章第一段开头列举了人们通常想到的环境问题（污染、过度使用资源等），然后通过“But”转折，引出“introducing new species... can also be destructive”（引入新物种也可能具有破坏性），并点出本文要讨论的具体物种“One such invasive species is the zebra mussel.”。这种写作手法是典型的通过一般性话题引出具体主题。因此，作者在开头提到环境问题是为了引入“入侵物种斑马贻贝”这一主题。A选项正确。B（预测结局）、C（强调影响）、D（阐明论点）均不符合开头的功能。 29. What can we learn about zebra mussels? 答案：C. They often break the balance of the ecosystem. 定位到第三段。该段首句明确指出：“When species are abruptly introduced to a new ecosystem, they often damage the balance of that ecosystem, and zebra mussels are no exception.”（当物种被突然引入新的生态系统时，它们通常会破坏该生态系统的平衡，斑马贻贝也不例外。）这直接说明斑马贻贝常常破坏生态平衡。C选项与此完全一致。A选项：与第二段信息矛盾，斑马贻贝生活在“fresh water”（淡水）和“less salty”（盐度较低）的海域，并非需要咸水。B选项：与第二段信息不符，它们已通过船只“spread to much of Europe and North America”（传播到欧洲和北美大部分地区），并非只存在于欧亚。D选项：与第三段信息相反，它们吃浮游植物的效率“striking efficiency”（惊人高效），消耗量巨大，导致其他物种食物不足，而非吃得少。 30. What does the underlined word “obstruct” in paragraph 4 mean? 答案：B. Block. 定位到第四段划线词所在句：“zebra mussels have been known to obstruct the flow of water through pipes, which can prevent communities from getting clean drinking water.”（已知斑马贻贝会____水管中的水流，这会阻碍社区获得清洁饮用水。）根据后半句“prevent... getting clean drinking water”（阻碍获得饮用水）可知，斑马贻贝的行为导致了水流无法通过。因此，“obstruct”在这里最可能的意思是阻塞、堵塞。B. Block（堵塞）是唯一符合语境的选项。A. Avoid（避免）、C. Control（控制）、D. Direct（引导）均不贴合“阻碍水流通过”的语境。 31. What does the last paragraph focus on? 答案：C. The measures to stop zebra mussels spreading. 最后一段首句指出清除斑马贻贝极其困难，因此“only by stopping them from spreading can people limit the troubles”（只有阻止其扩散才能限制其带来的麻烦）。接着，段落具体说明了政府和船主采取的预防措施：“Governments... are taking steps to prevent their spread...”, “boaters must clean, drain, and dry their boats...”。因此，本段的焦点是防止斑马贻贝扩散的措施。C选项正确。A（斑马贻贝造成的损害）是第三、四段的主要内容；B（斑马贻贝遇到的困难）文章未提及；D（斑马贻贝的快速繁殖速度）是第四段开头的内容。 D篇 本文介绍了芬兰阿尔托大学的一项研究，该研究发现使用人工智能（AI）聊天机器人几乎消除并逆转了“邓宁-克鲁格效应”（即能力不足者过度自信，而能力强者低估自己的现象）。研究显示，无论用户技能水平如何，使用AI时都会过度信任聊天机器人的答案，且经验丰富的AI用户这种倾向最明显。文章分析了这一现象的原因（如“认知卸载”和大型语言模型的辅助），并警告了AI广泛使用可能带来的负面影响，如元认知准确性下降和决策失误增加。 32. What did Aalto University researchers discover about AI chatbot use? 答案：C. Users generally over-trusted the chatbot's answers. 定位到第一段末尾：“Their research showed that when using common chatbots to solve problems, everyone (regardless of their skill level) tended to put too much faith in the quality of the answers, with the most experienced AI users doing so the most.”该句明确指出，所有用户都倾向于过度信任聊天机器人答案的质量，这与C选项完全一致。A选项与原文矛盾；B选项与原文“几乎消除并逆转”该效应不符；D选项“只有初学者”与原文“所有人，尤其是经验丰富者”矛盾。 33. Which aspect of the research is paragraph 2 mainly about? 答案：B. The process. 第二段详细描述了研究如何开展：“gave 500 subjects logical reasoning tasks... half allowed to use ChatGPT... Both groups were later quizzed... and promised extra rewards...”这些内容都属于研究的过程步骤，因此B选项正确。本段未明确说明研究目的（A），也未主要讨论受试者特征（C）或研究发现（D）。 34. Why do the users often overestimate their abilities? 答案：A. LLMs’ aid improves users’ task performance. 定位到第四段：“The study owed this to the fact that large language models (LLMs) help everyone perform better to some degree.”研究将用户过度估计能力的原因直接归因于大型语言模型（LLMs）帮助每个人在一定程度上表现得更好，因此A选项正确。B选项（用户跳过批判性思维）是导致过度估计的机制之一，但根本原因是LLMs的辅助；C选项与原文“元认知准确性可能受损”矛盾；D选项是现象而非原因。 35. What will be probably talked about in the following paragraph? 答案：C. Methods for preventing users’ cognitive decline. 文章结尾警告了AI广泛使用的潜在影响：“leading to an increased climate of miscalculated decision-making and a drop in their skills.”（导致决策失误增加和技能下降）。按照逻辑，接下来最可能讨论如何防止这些负面影响，例如防止用户认知下降或技能滑坡的方法，因此C选项最合理。A选项（法规）和B选项（指南）可能相关，但未在文中铺垫；D选项（提高受试者表现）与研究部分已结束不符。 12 江苏省常州市2026届高三年级第一学期期末质量调研 C篇 【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家推翻动物无情景化记忆的传统观点，研究证实猫狗具备该记忆，且猫的记忆模式与狗相似；同时还发现猫狗记忆的激活方式成谜，且大概率依赖嗅觉。 【28题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第一段“Until recently, scientists thought animals’mind was limited to associative memories: recollections of the relationships between experiences or events, but not the episodic memories (情景化记忆) of the experience itself.( 直到不久前，科学家们还认为动物的大脑仅具备联想记忆能力：即对经历或事件之间关系的记忆，但不具备关于具体经历本身的片段式记忆。)”可知，文章开篇推翻“动物只有联想记忆，无情景化记忆” 的传统观点，核心介绍米克洛西团队的新研究 —— 证实狗具备情景化记忆且有自我感知，猫的记忆模式与狗相似；同时还探讨了猫狗记忆与人类的差异、其记忆的激活方式和感官依赖等新发现，全文围绕猫狗记忆能力的新研究成果展开。故选D项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2016 they confirmed, by way of an experiment in which they asked dogs to imitate actions modeled by a human minutes earlier, that the dogs did remember specific elements of what they’d experienced.( 2016年，他们通过一项实验证实，在实验中，他们让狗模仿几分钟前人类模仿的动作，狗确实记住了它们所经历的特定元素。)”可知，研究人员证实狗狗能记住过往经历中的具体细节，这是实验的核心结论。故选B项。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“How cats and dogs guide their own recall — if they need reminders to activate it — is a mystery.( 至于猫和狗是如何自行唤起记忆的——如果它们需要提醒才能激活记忆的话——这仍是个谜。)”可知，科学家已证实猫狗有情景化记忆，但猫狗如何自主引导自身的记忆提取（是否需要提醒才能激活记忆）仍是未解之谜。故选C项。 【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s also less clear how our furry companions relive their distant memories. Ours play like a movie in our mind’s eye, which fits, as contemporary humans are a visually engaged species. But cats and dogs are far more reliant on other senses, especially smell. Could their recall come together as smells rather than images? Two studies — of dogs in a dark room finding familiar objects with their noses, and of kittens recognizing their mothers by smell after years of separation — suggest as much.( 同样不清楚的是，我们的宠物是如何重温它们遥远的记忆的。我们的记忆就像脑海中的一部电影，这与当代人类是视觉活跃的物种相吻合。但猫和狗更多地依赖其他感官，尤其是嗅觉。它们的记忆是否是以气味而非图像的形式重现的呢？两项研究——在黑暗环境中，狗用鼻子寻找熟悉的物品，以及小猫在多年分离后通过嗅觉认出自己的母亲——表明了这一点。)”可知，最后一段先指出人类通过视觉（画面）重温记忆，而猫狗更依赖嗅觉等其他感官；随后提出疑问“它们的记忆是否由气味而非画面构成”，并通过两个研究（狗狗凭嗅觉在黑暗中找物品、小猫多年后凭嗅觉认母亲）佐证这一猜想，核心说明猫狗的记忆大概率依赖嗅觉形成和提取。故选C项。 D篇 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是过度依赖外部工具（尤其是人工智能）对人类认知能力的潜在负面影响。 【32题详解】词句猜测题。根据第一段“to external tools(给外部工具)”和“When given the choice between thinking through a problem or letting technology handle it(当面临“独立思考解决问题”与“让技术代劳”的选择时)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“将脑力劳动委托给外部工具的行为”，delegating的意思是“委托”，和assigning意思相近。故选A。 【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“The root reason seems to be that people underestimate their own cognitive abilities. They think they’ll forget, so they set a reminder. They think they can’t solve the problem, so they ask AI.(根本原因似乎在于人们低估了自己的认知能力。他们担心遗忘，于是设置提醒；认为自己无法解决问题，于是求助人工智能。)”可知，吉尔伯特实验中的参与者会设置不必要的数字提醒是因为他们对自己的记忆力缺乏信心。故选A。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“But research suggests the cognitive costs extend far beyond remembering appointments.(但研究表明，认知成本远不止于记住约会。)”和第五段“Nathaniel Barr claimed that individuals who score lower on the Cognitive Reflection Test show greater smartphone dependence when obtaining information.(Nathaniel Barr指出，在认知反射测试中得分较低的人，在获取信息时对智能手机的依赖性更强。)”可知，作者提到认知反射测试是为了说明提醒偏差的危害不仅限于记忆。故选C。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“My concern is that people may begin using AI in ways that prevent the development of analytical skills. For a college student who consistently uses AI to work through problems, I question whether they’re building the neural infrastructure (神经基础结构) to handle similar problems independently later in life.(我担忧的是，人们可能开始以阻碍分析能力发展的方式使用人工智能。例如，若一名大学生始终依赖人工智能解决问题，我不禁质疑：他们是否正在构建处理同类问题的神经基础结构，以在未来独立应对类似挑战？)”可知，本文主要讲的是过度依赖外部工具（尤其是人工智能）对人类认知能力的潜在负面影响，因此最好的标题是D选项“Over-reliance on External AI Tools May Weaken Cognitive Abilities(过度依赖外部AI工具可能削弱认知能力)”。故选D。 13 江苏省南京市、盐城市2026届高三第一次模拟考试 C篇 本文介绍了一项发表在《自然》杂志上的科学研究。研究发现，澳大利亚的一片湿热带雨林在过去约25年里，因树木死亡速度加快，已从一个吸收二氧化碳的“碳汇”转变为一个释放更多碳的“碳源”。这可能是气候变化（如气温升高、空气干燥、水资源短缺）导致的生态系统衰退的迹象，并可能预示着全球其他热带雨林未来的命运。 28. D 文章开篇即指出热带雨林通常是“碳汇”，但澳大利亚这片雨林正在做相反的事。第二段明确陈述了研究发现：“researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago.”（研究人员发现，这片森林释放的碳比吸收的更多，这种转变发生在大约25年前。）整个研究的核心就是观察并证实其碳平衡（从吸收大于释放到释放大于吸收）的变化。因此D选项正确。 29. A 第三段直接解释了这种转变背后的原因：“this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago”（这种转变表明，这片澳大利亚雨林中的树木死亡速度比几十年前更快了）。选项A“树木死亡率上升”是原文的同义转述。其他选项（稳定的天气模式、适度的热带降雨、瞬间的生态系统崩溃）均未提及或与文意不符。 30. C 划线词所在句子为：“The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world”（澳大利亚的湿热带地区的气候比其他大陆的热带森林更温暖、更干燥，因此可能作为一个类比，预示世界其他地区热带森林将经历的情况）。根据上下文，澳大利亚雨林目前的状况（变暖、变干）可以被视为未来其他地区热带森林可能发生情况的“类似例子”或“参照”。因此C选项“Similar example”最准确。 31. A文章最后一段引用了Raphael Trouve的观点：“‘It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.’”（“它使我们能够将理论与现实对照，并更好地理解这些系统是如何运作的。”）这说明他认为这类长期数据集有助于检验理论、揭示现实情况，从而获得对生态系统运作的真正理解。A选项“它们提供了对真相的洞察”准确概括了这一观点。B选项（提供解决方案）、C选项（与普遍看法一致）、D选项（独立于历史数据）均不符合他的原意。 D篇 本文介绍了一种名为“果冻冰”的新型冷却材料，由加州大学戴维斯分校的研究人员开发。这种材料由90%的水制成，具有与传统冰类似的冷却效果，但不会融化成液体，且可重复使用、可生物降解。文章阐述了其特性、优势（如环保、减少细菌传播风险）、开发过程、潜在应用（如食品保鲜、医疗运输）以及当前仍需进一步开发才能上市的情况。 32. C文章第二段末尾明确提到：“We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.”（我们可以重复使用这种材料，并在多次冷却和升温循环中保持吸热能力，这是传统冰无法提供的优势。）这表明重复使用是果冻冰相对于传统冰的一个显著优点。因此C选项正确。虽然D选项“冷却效率”在文中有所提及，但原文指出果冻冰的冷却效率最高达到传统冰的80%，并非优势，故不选。 33. D第三段提到研发初衷是为了减少融水传播细菌的风险，但未明确说明材料本身无菌；第四段则指出：“It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil.”（它不会造成微塑料污染，甚至当添加到土壤中时，还能改善番茄植株的生长。）这暗示果冻冰对环境有积极影响，降低了污染风险。因此D选项正确。A选项“延长番茄生长周期”是对原文“改善生长”的曲解；B选项“采用无菌材料”未直接提及；C选项“缩短冷冻时间”文中未涉及。 34. B最后一段指出：“Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing.”（尽管技术许可证已经获得，但果冻冰尚未公开销售。它仍然需要市场分析、产品设计和大规模生产测试。）这说明果冻冰还需进一步开发才能推向市场。因此B选项正确。A选项“官方批准正在进行中”与原文“许可证已获得”不符；C选项“传统冰将很快消失”未提及；D选项“其他天然聚合物将可用”只是研究方向，并非定论。 35. C文章开篇即点明果冻冰的核心特点：“a reusable and biodegradable alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid”（一种可重复使用、可生物降解的替代品，冷却效果像冰，但从不融化成液体）。全文围绕这一不会融化的冷却材料展开介绍。因此C选项最适合作标题。A选项“控制细菌的游戏规则改变者”并非文章焦点；B选项“我们可以订购的冷却替代品”与最后一段“尚未公开销售”矛盾；D选项“减少生物污染的快速解决方案”过于片面，未突出核心特性。 14 江苏省南通市、泰州市、镇江市 2026 届高三学业质量监测 C篇 本文介绍了一项关于短信缩写（如“hru?”）对人际沟通影响的心理学研究。研究发现，尽管绝大多数人使用并认为自己不介意缩写，但接收者普遍认为使用缩写显得发送者不够真诚、付出努力较少，从而导致沟通质量下降、对话更快结束，并可能削弱社交联结。研究者Fang指出，缩写的影响取决于语境：在需要加深关系或留下好印象时应避免滥用，但在一些随意场合（如联系快递员）则适用。 28. What do the findings indicate about texting abbreviations? 答案：A. They make senders seem insincere. 文章第一段结尾指出，发一个快速的“hru?”可能不如花时间拼写出“How are you?”显得真诚（“as genuine”）。第五段的研究结论也明确指出，短信缩写会降低感知到的努力，进而导致感知到的真诚度降低（“decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity”）。因此，研究发现表明缩写会让发送者显得不够真诚。A选项是原文核心发现的同义转述。 29. What do texters commonly assume about abbreviations? 答案：B. They would not bother others. 第三段明确给出了数据：“84% believe others don’t mind them”（84%的人认为别人不介意它们）。也就是说，发信息的人通常假设缩写不会打扰/困扰他人。B选项“They would not bother others”是原文“don’t mind them”的准确同义替换。 30. Fang’s research reveals that the use of abbreviations is perceived as _____. 答案：B. a lower effort from the sender 第五段直接陈述了研究结论：“Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal communication by decreasing perceived effort”（我们的研究揭示，短信缩写通过降低感知到的努力对人际沟通产生负面影响）。因此，使用缩写会被接收者感知为发送者付出了更少的努力。B选项是原文信息的直接提取。 31. What is Fang’s view on using abbreviations? 答案：C. It depends on the context. 最后两段阐述了Fang的观点。他并没有主张完全停止使用缩写（But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether）。相反，他指出：“We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship.”（我们通常会根据关系的重要性来调整在对话中投入的努力。）他举例说明，在给快递司机发信息时少花精力是合理的，但在需要加强社交联系或留下好印象时（如关系初期），研究结果就特别相关。这清晰地表明，他认为使用缩写取决于具体情境（上下文）。C选项准确概括了这一观点。 D篇 本文探讨了生成式人工智能（如谷歌和OpenAI的AI视频工具）在创建内容时可能大量使用受版权保护材料所引发的争议。文章介绍了一款名为Trace ID的工具，它能检测AI生成内容与版权材料的重合度，并以《神秘博士》和詹姆斯·邦德电影为例展示了检测结果。文章进一步讨论了创意工作者对此的担忧（要求补偿和授权），并引用Vermillio负责人Kathleen Grace的观点，指出建立一个能够共享和追踪内容的公平生态系统，将使版权方和AI公司共同受益。 32. What issue is presented at the beginning of the passage? 答案：D. Copyrighted materials are used in AI-generated content. 文章开头以AI视频工具生成的《神秘博士》风格影片为例，引出一个问题：这些工具究竟在多大程度上依赖他人的艺术创作来产生自己的“发明”？第二段最后一句明确点出核心：“The problem is working out how much AI tools... rely on someone else’s art to come up with their own inventions.”（问题在于弄清楚AI工具在多大程度上依赖他人的艺术来完成自己的发明。）这直接指向了“AI生成内容中使用版权材料”的问题。因此D选项正确。 33.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? 答案：B. How Trace ID works. 第三段详细描述了Trace ID平台的功能：“can detect the percentage...”（能够检测百分比），“One of the platform’s abilities is to create neural fingerprints...”（该平台的能力之一是创建神经指纹），“These fingerprints act as digital identifiers...”（这些指纹作为数字标识符），“By comparing this fingerprint... it can determine...”（通过比较这个指纹，它可以确定……）。整段都在解释Trace ID如何运作来检测重合度。因此B选项正确。 34.What does the underline word “remuneration” in paragraph 5 mean? 答案：B. Pay. 划线词所在句子为：“They argue AI tools build on their work without remuneration, producing competing creations...”（他们争辩说，AI工具在没有报酬的情况下建立在他们的作品之上，生产出竞争性创作……）。前一句提到创意专业人士要求“compensation”（补偿）。因此，“without remuneration”应与“without compensation”同义，即“没有报酬”。选项B “Pay”（报酬）是唯一符合语境的词义。 35. What message does Kathleen Grace want to convey? 答案：C. A fair data-sharing ecosystem benefits all. 最后一段中，Kathleen Grace说：“We can all win if we just take a beat and figure out a way to share and track content.”（如果我们能稍停一下，找出一种共享和追踪内容的方法，我们都能赢。）她进一步解释说，这将鼓励版权方释放更多数据给AI公司，而AI公司也能获得更有趣的数据集，最终形成一个“amazing ecosystem”（惊人的生态系统）。她的核心信息是建立一个公平的数据共享生态系统对所有人都有利。C选项准确概括了这一观点。 15 江苏省南通市2026届高三新高考基地学校第一次大联考 C篇 本文是一篇科普说明文，主要介绍了一种特殊的蚂蚁寄生行为：某些雌性寄生蚂蚁不会通过直接打斗夺取蚁后位置，而是先伪装混入目标蚁群，再向蚁后喷洒特殊化学物质，诱使蚁群工蚁攻击并杀死自己的蚁后，最终寄生蚂蚁取而代之成为新蚁后，还被工蚁侍奉并协助抚育后代。 28. 答案：D 第一段先引用生物学家的观点，指出蚂蚁是最好战的动物，蚁群间的争斗规模超过人类部分战役，随后用转折词but引出核心内容 —— 有时蚁群并非败于直接打斗，而是败于阴谋诡计，甚至蚁群成员会被诱骗杀死自己珍贵的蚁后。 该段的写作目的是通过对比引出全文核心话题，而非强调蚂蚁好战或争斗规模大，选项 D 与段落核心主旨一致。 29. 答案：B 定位到第三段，前文提到寄生雌蚁需要伪装才能混入目标蚁群，而蚂蚁主要依靠化学信号辨别敌我，因此雌蚁需要通过接触目标蚁群的工蚁获取所需的气味。后文紧接着说明 “Takasuka 的团队在实验室里给了雌蚁这样做的机会”。 这里的this指代的就是前文提到的 “获取必要气味” 这一行为，对应选项 B。 30. 答案：C 定位到第四段，文中明确描述了寄生雌蚁的行动过程 —— 伪装混入蚁群找到蚁后，向蚁后喷洒化学物质，之后撤离。而喷洒化学物质带来的直接效果是：原本忠心护主的工蚁突然反过来猛烈攻击蚁后，直到蚁后死亡。 选项 A 是喷洒后的后续动作，并非直接结果；选项 B 是蚁后死后的情况；选项 D 与原文 “工蚁杀死蚁后” 的表述不符，因此答案为 C。 31. 答案：A 定位到最后一段，研究人员将这种蚂蚁称为 “让后代杀死本应不可或缺的母亲的寄生虫”。前文提到寄生蚂蚁诱使工蚁杀死原蚁后，后文则说明原蚁群的工蚁会接纳寄生蚂蚁成为新蚁后，保护她并帮助抚育她的后代。 这一行为完全符合 “寄生虫” 的特征 —— 利用宿主资源繁衍自身后代，选项 A 准确概括了这一含义。 D篇 本文是一篇科技说明文，主要介绍了一款名为 PRIMA 的视网膜植入设备。文章依次说明了该设备的工作原理、使用方式、临床试验效果，同时也指出了它目前存在的局限性，展现了这款设备在改善年龄相关性黄斑变性患者视力方面的突破与不足。 32. 答案：C 定位到第二段对 PRIMA 的描述 ——“being photovoltaic, the light particles that activate it also provide the energy source for generating its electrical output”。这句话明确表明，PRIMA 是光电式设备，激活它的光粒子同时也是其产生电输出的能量来源，也就是光粒子既激活设备又为其供能，选项 C 与原文表述完全一致。干扰项排除：A 选项 “只需少量训练就能达到最佳效果” 与原文 “take months of intensive training”（需要数月的强化训练）矛盾；B 选项 “让眼镜向其传输普通图像” 与原文 “changes them into patterns of invisible light”（将图像转换成不可见光图案）不符；D 选项 “通过替换受损细胞恢复正常视力”，原文仅说明设备改善了视力，并未提及能恢复到正常水平。 33. 答案：D 定位到第三段临床试验结果 ——“32 of the participants were tested a year after implantation... Overall, most participants’ vision came close to the resolution that PRIMA can achieve”。该句表明，一年后接受测试的受试者中，大多数人的视力都接近了 PRIMA 设备所能达到的最佳分辨率，也就是达到了该设备的最佳效果水平，对应选项 D。干扰项排除：A 选项 “设备对患者立竿见影”，原文未提及效果是即时产生的；B 选项 “38 名受试者一年后视力均改善”，原文明确是 32 名受试者接受了一年后的测试，且其中 26 人视力有临床意义上的改善，并非全部 38 人；C 选项 “患者能看清视力表上的两行”，原文是 “being able to see two lines further down”（能多看两行），而非只能看清两行。 34. 答案：B 定位到第四段关于 PRIMA 局限性的内容，文中明确提到三点： 视力改善的说服力不足，需要和随机治疗组对比才能更有可信度；阅读速度慢，无法流畅阅读；只能呈现黑白视觉，没有色彩。选项 A、C、D 均被提及，只有B选项“频繁的眼部不适”在文中没有任何相关表述，因此答案为 B。 35. 答案：A通读全文，文章前半部分介绍了 PRIMA 的优势和临床试验取得的突破（进步），后半部分则重点阐述了它存在的局限性，整体内容既讲了进展也讲了不足。选项 B “PRIMA 如何改善视力” 只覆盖了部分内容；选项 C“PRIMA：针对 AMD 失明的一项训练” 偏离核心，训练只是使用设备的配套要求；选项 D“PRIMA：AMD 患者的新生活” 过于片面，未提及设备的局限性。只有选项 A 能全面概括全文主旨。 16 江苏省苏北四市（徐连淮宿）2026届高三第一次调研测试（一模） C篇 本文探讨了秋季落叶的处理问题，批驳了为求整洁而清扫落叶的做法。文章通过引用树木委员会、野生动物信托基金等机构专家的观点与经验，阐述了落叶在生态系统中的重要作用：为蚯蚓、刺猬、昆虫等野生动物提供食物和庇护所，为土壤和树木自身提供养分与水分。文章建议通过将落叶堆放在特定区域、切碎或直接保留等方式，在满足园艺美观需求的同时维护生态平衡，强调落叶是健康花园的“免费帮手”，不应被视为垃圾。 28. What does “a mixed blessing” imply in paragraph 1? 答案：D. Fallen leaves are beautiful but annoying. 短语“a mixed blessing”意为“喜忧参半的事物”。第一段紧接着对其进行了解释：金秋落叶起初很美（beautiful），但很快变褐变软（brown and mushy），这让许多人想把它们扔掉（want to throw them away）。这正是“美丽但恼人”的体现，与园艺爱好者对“整洁”的追求相矛盾。因此D选项正确。 29. What is Jon Stokes’ attitude towards leaf sweeping? 答案：B. Opposed. 第二段中，Jon Stokes明确表示“It’s not necessary.”（这没必要）。并分享个人经验：“I’ve never once swept a leaf”（我从未扫过一次落叶）。他进一步建议：“Don’t take them away... because you’ll have just taken all that goodness out of your garden.”（不要把落叶带走……因为那样你就把所有的养分从花园里带走了。）这些直接且强硬的表述都清晰地表明了他对清扫落叶的反对态度。因此B选项正确。 30. According to Oliver Fry, what should we do with fallen leaves? 答案：C. Pile them in certain areas. 第四段引用了Oliver Fry的建议：“suggests piling leaves in dry spots for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs.”（建议将落叶堆在干燥的地方供刺猬使用，或堆在潮湿的地方供青蛙使用。）这正是C选项“将它们堆放在特定区域”所描述的做法。因此C选项正确。 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? 答案：A. Leave the Leaves 全文的核心建议和主旨就是：不要清扫落叶，让它们留在花园里发挥生态作用。从Jon Stokes的“never once swept a leaf”，到解释落叶对野生动物的价值，再到专家提供的“堆积”、“切碎”等替代清扫的方案，都围绕着“保留落叶”这一中心思想。A选项“Leave the Leaves”（把落叶留下）简洁有力地概括了这一主题。其他选项均未能准确抓住文章核心建议。 D篇 本文为一篇科普性报道，探讨了发酵食品（以酸菜为例）在美国饮食中的地位变化及其健康益处。文章指出，酸菜等发酵食品正从传统的配角转变为健康饮食的焦点。科学家研究发现，发酵食品能增加肠道微生物多样性、降低炎症、并提供更易吸收的营养。同时，市场数据显示，随着消费者对肠道健康和天然食品的关注度上升，发酵食品的销售额显著增长。文末指出，关于不同发酵食品的具体益处和最佳发酵方式，仍有待进一步科学研究。 32. How was Sauerkraut traditionally viewed in the Americans’ diet before? 答案：C. Minor. 文章开篇第一句明确提到：“Sauerkraut has long been a bit player in the American diet...”（酸菜长期以来在美国饮食中只是一个小角色/配角……）。短语“a bit player”直接表明了其传统地位是次要的、不重要的。因此C选项“Minor”（次要的）正确。 33. How does the author show the benefits of fermented foods? 答案：D. By presenting research results. 文章第二段通过引用多项具体的科学研究来阐述发酵食品的益处。例如：“When researchers at Stanford put people on a diet... they found...”（当斯坦福大学的研究人员让人们进行一种饮食……他们发现……）；“Maria Marco... found in lab that...”（玛丽亚·马尔科在实验室中发现……）。这些都是通过呈现研究结果的方式来展示好处，而非通过案例分析、原因分析或简单举例。因此D选项正确。 34. What can we learn from paragraph 3? 答案：C. Fermented foods are gaining popularity. 第三段的核心信息是发酵食品的市场接受度在提高。段首指出消费者对肠道健康和低加工食品的担忧推动了对发酵食品的兴趣（driving consumers’ interest）。接着提到更多公司涉足发酵领域，并创造口味更温和的产品以赢得消费者。最后用市场销售数据佐证：销售额在四年间增长了约27%。所有这些都指向一个结论：发酵食品正变得越来越受欢迎。因此C选项正确。 35. What can be inferred from Dalia Perelman’s words? 答案：A. Much research remains to be done. Dalia Perelman在最后一段说：“But there’s still a lot that scientists need to learn about fermented foods... We’re trying to figure out if...”（但是关于发酵食品，科学家们还有很多需要了解……我们正试图弄清楚是否……）。她列举了一系列尚未明确的问题（哪些更好、最佳发酵类型、起健康作用的具体原因）。这清楚地表明，尽管已有积极发现，但大量的研究工作仍有待完成。因此A选项正确。 17 江苏省苏州市2026届高三第一学期学业质量阳光指标调研（零模） C篇 本文探讨了生成式人工智能（如ChatGPT）能够自动编写代码的能力对编程工作和计算机科学教育带来的冲击与变革。作者指出，AI虽能高效生成代码，但其结果常包含错误，因此未来的计算机科学教育应着重培养学生监督、审查和修正AI生成代码的能力，而非仅仅教授编程本身。文章呼吁教育重点转向培养学生质疑、推理与判断的思维习惯。 28. C Write programs following instructions. 第二段明确指出，生成式AI工具可以根据用户的指令（如“写一个排序数字列表的程序”）生成可运行的代码，这与按照指令写作文章类似。第二段“A student can ask ChatGPT to write a program that sorts a list of numbers and get a working answer in seconds.”A项“教学生如何编程”非AI功能；B项“生成无错误的代码”与第三段“it often gets things wrong”矛盾；D项“取代经验丰富的程序员”文中未直接主张。 29. A supervising and correcting AI-generated code 第三段强调，由于AI生成的代码常包含错误，人类需要扮演监督角色，检查代码是否按预期工作并进行修正，这是未来计算机科学教育的核心。第三段“There is still a need for humans to play a role in coding—a supervisory one, in which programmers oversee the use of AI tools, determine if AI-generated code does what it is supposed to do and make repairs to faulty code.”B项“编程或编写代码”是传统教育重点，非作者主张的未来方向；C项“快速高效编码或解码”未提及；D项“独立理解和使用AI工具”不全面，作者强调的是监督与修正。 30. B By presenting facts. 第四段通过陈述当前教育现状（如“仍以编码为主要活动”“学生用AI完成作业却不理解代码原理”“新开发者使用AI效率反而更低”）这些客观事实来支持论点，未使用数据、概念澄清或预测。第四段整体以事实陈述为主，如“today’s computer science education still focuses on coding”“some students are using AI tools... without learning or understanding”“new developers... can actually be less efficient with AI tools”。A项“提供统计数据”文中未出现；C项“阐明概念”非本段主要手法；D项“做出预测”本段侧重现状描述。 31. B To urge a change in computer science education. 全文围绕生成式AI带来的挑战，指出当前教育不足，并多次强调应转向培养学生监督AI代码的能力及批判性思维，最终引用Herbert Simon的话强调学生主动思考的重要性，核心目的是呼吁教育改革。第三段“The future of computer science education is to teach students how to master the skill of supervision.” 及第五段“The rise of generative AI should sharpen our focus on what truly matters in computer science education...”A项“批评传统教学方法”是手段而非根本目的；C项“强调高效学习的重要性”偏离核心；D项“表明AI工具不能取代人类教师”非文章焦点。 D篇 本文探讨了人格的可变性，反驳了“人格固定不变”的传统观念。通过引用2024年研究、荣格的观点及哈佛成人发展研究等证据，论证人格具有流动性，且主动改变人格特质（如增强社交性）有助于提升幸福感，鼓励人们以更开放的态度看待自我改变的可能性。 32. A It is fixed and stable. 第一段明确指出，传统观点认为人格是“相当稳定的特征集合”，而作者认为这种观念是“无稽之谈”。题目问的是“常见误解”，即传统观点。第一段“Personality has traditionally been defined as a pretty stable collection of characteristics.” 及 “These ideas are nonsense.”B项“容易改变”是作者主张的观点；C项“由人生决定”未提及；D项“与基因无关”与文中“基因决定”的误解相反。 33. C To offer evidence supporting personality fluidity. 第二段提到2024年研究证明数字教练能提升情绪稳定性等特质，第三段引用荣格观点说明内/外向非绝对且可变。两者均为“人格流动性”提供证据支持。第二段“There is plenty of evidence that our personalities are more fluid... a 2024 study found...”；第三段“But Carl Jung... said that there is no such thing as a ‘pure’ introvert or extrovert... these preferences are flexible.”A项“人格改变技艺的例子”不全面，荣格观点并非“技艺”；B项“表达对某些人格的偏好”无依据；D项“批评传统定义”是段落作用的一部分，但主要目的是提供证据。 34. B。A happy and healthy life. “that end”指代前文提到的研究目的，即“理解幸福健康生活的核心要素”。第四段“The Harvard Study of Adult Development... in order to understand the core components of a happy and healthy life, found that nothing matters more to that end...” 中“that end”直接对应“a happy and healthy life”。A项“研究结论”过于宽泛；C项“八十年项目”是研究本身，非目标；D项“社交联系的关键”是研究发现的内容，非“that end”所指。 35. A Time for a New You 全文核心是人格可以且应当主动改变，结尾强调“尝试改变可能不是坏主意”，A项“迎接新自我”生动概括了这一倡导。首段否定人格固定观，结尾段“But first, you might need to accept a painful truth: maybe trying to change isn’t such a bad idea.” 呼应主题。B项“幸福秘诀”偏离人格改变主线；C项“识别人格类型”非重点；D项“接受自我”与文章主张改变的立场相反。 18 江苏省无锡市2026届秋学期高三期终教学质量调研 C篇 本文探讨了老年人日益增长的屏幕时间及其带来的双重影响。文章指出，尽管老年人从智能设备中获益良多（如社交、便利），但随着他们上网时间增加，也面临着在线诈骗、错误信息等新的风险，其脆弱性不亚于青少年。作者呼吁政策制定者不应只关注青少年的网络保护，也需重视并保障老年人在数字世界的安全与需求。 28. C People spending too much time on screens. “square-eyed”是一个形象表达，字面意思是“眼睛变成方形的”，常用来形容长时间盯着屏幕（如电视、电脑）导致的眼睛疲劳或形态改变，因此这里指“花费太多时间在屏幕上的人”。根据上下文，前文讨论各年龄段的屏幕时间，后句明确指出“最严重的（屏幕族）是老年人”，因此该短语指代沉迷屏幕的人群。第一段最后两句“The worry may be focused on the wrong age group... the most square-eyed generation is the elderly.” 直接说明老年人是屏幕时间最长的群体。 29. B The bad things the elderly are facing online. 第四段主要讲老年人更容易受到错误信息的影响和在线诈骗的误导；第五段则总结指出，随着老年人上网增多，我们需要关注他们的数字需求并提供支持。两段共同核心是阐述老年人上网所面临的风险和问题。第四段主题句：“A second cost is misinformation.” 以及具体描述“older people also appear to be more susceptible... to online tricks.”第五段提出要“discuss their digital needs and support”，正是因为前面阐述了他们面临的问题。 30. D To call for more protection for the elderly in the digital world. 全文先指出现象（老年人屏幕时间长），再分析其益处和风险，最后落脚点在政策层面，强调必须认识到老年人是另一个快速增长的需要被保护的脆弱群体，并呼吁关注他们的数字需求。因此，写作的主要目的是呼吁对老年人进行更多数字保护。第三段结尾：“They must recognize that there is another, fast-growing vulnerable group to look after.”第五段结尾：“we must also calmly discuss their digital needs and support.” 31. D By making comparisons. 全文主要运用了对比手法来展开观点。最核心的对比是将老年人与青少年进行对比：开头将社会对青少年屏幕时间的担忧与老年人实际更长的屏幕时间对比；中间部分对比两者面临的在线风险不同（如老年人关联信用卡风险更高、更易受错误信息影响）；最后对比政策关注点的差异。第一段：青少年与老年人屏幕时间关注的对比。第三段：“While older people face fewer online risks than teenagers...” 直接开启对比。第四段：“The elderly are twice as likely as under-25s...” 用数据对比。 D篇 本文探讨了抗生素耐药性（细菌对抗生素产生抵抗力）对全球健康的威胁，并介绍了一项突破性研究：科学家利用人工智能从人体肠道微生物组中发现数百种潜在的未来抗生素，其中一种名为prevotellin-2的物质已在动物模型中显示效果。文章最后解释了肠道微生物之所以能产生这些特殊抗菌物质，是为了在竞争激烈的肠道环境中生存。 32. C Bacteria are growing more resistant. 这是文章开头提出的核心问题。第一段就指出，细菌已经发展出对抗生素“不那么敏感”的方式，第二段进一步强调“对抗生素日益增长的耐药性”是全球性威胁。第一段最后一句：“But over time, the bacteria have developed ways to become less responsive to treatment.”第二段第一句：“This growing resistance to antibiotics poses a threat to global health.” 33. B They may come from the human microbiome. 文章的核心发现是，未来的抗生素可能来源于人体自身的微生物组（尤其是肠道微生物）。这是美国研究团队的主要观点。第三段明确说明：“US researchers have found a promising place we could look for the antibiotics of the future: inside our own bodies.”第三段引述研究者的话：“Our discovery emphasizes the human microbiome as a previously unexplored source of antibiotics.” 34. D It proves effective in animal models. 文中明确提到，候选物质prevotellin-2在动物模型中显示了效果，这是对其潜力的初步验证。第四段研究者原话：“One of our promising candidates... showed efficiency in animal models.” 35. C The cause of the gut’s rich antibiotic candidates. 最后一段解释了为什么肠道中能找到如此丰富的候选抗生素物质，根本原因是肠道内竞争激烈的环境迫使细菌产生特殊物质来杀死或抑制竞争对手。段落首句：“...the wealth of candidates found in the gut may be due to a particularly highly competitive environment in that part of the body.”研究者解释：“To survive, bacteria must have produced some special substances that will kill other bacteria.” 19 江苏省扬州市2026届高三第一学期期末考试 C篇 主要介绍城市农场（City Farms） 在英国的发展及其多重效益。文章指出，城市农场不仅占地面积小，为野生动物提供了重要栖息地，促进生物多样性，还通过志愿者活动和亲近自然的方式，为社区居民（如战胜疾病的Tom）提供心理慰藉和支持，并强调地方当局的支持对于其发挥生态保护功能至关重要。 28.D.根据迈克·威廉姆斯的原话 “it’s the abundance of species here... that truly matters” 可知，他强调的是城市农场中物种的丰富性，即野生动植物的多样性。A. The remote location.：文章未提及城市农场位于偏远地区，事实上它们位于城市区域。B. The small footprint.：虽然文章开头提到城市农场占地面积小是一个优势，但迈克·威廉姆斯具体强调的并非面积，而是面积之上所承载的丰富物种。C. The high production.：文章主要讨论城市农场的生态和社会价值，并未强调其农产品的高产量。 29. A.汤姆的故事描述了他身患重病时，附近的城市农场如何成为他恢复生活热情的重要慰藉。这旨在说明城市农场能提供心理上的安慰和支持。B. Volunteers’ participation is highly valuable.：志愿者的价值在前文已提及，但汤姆的故事主要作为例证，说明城市农场对访客个体的积极影响，核心在于农场本身的作用，而非突出志愿者。C. City farms help to cure some terrible diseases.：文章仅说明城市农场有助于情绪恢复，并未声称其能治疗疾病，这是典型的过度推断。D. Basic training needs to be improved for surveys.：此信息在文中未出现，属于无中生有。 30. D. 解析：文章最后指出，一些专家认为地方当局（local authorities）必须支持城市农场，其持续参与对农场实现生态保护功能至关重要。这里的“local authorities”指的就是政府部门或官员。A. Local residents. 和 C. Regular visitors.：居民和访客是参与者和受益者，但文中明确点出需要承担关键支持责任的是地方当局。B. Farm managers.：农场管理者的角色文中未具体讨论，并非建议的关键责任方。 31. D.文章通篇介绍了城市农场在促进野生动物多样性（对自然的好处）以及连接社区、帮助像汤姆这样的人（对人的好处）等方面的多重价值。A. UK farms’ latest development and conservation.：该选项中的“UK farms”概念过于宽泛，可能指所有英国农场，而文章焦点是“city farms”（城市农场）。B. Green spaces’ advantages in wildlife protection.：该选项中的“Green spaces”（绿色空间）同样范围过大，未能突出“城市农场”这一具体主题及其独特的社会功能。C. Visitors’ influence on UK city farm management.：访客的影响只是文章内容的一个侧面，不足以概括全文主旨。 D篇 主要介绍虚拟现实（VR） 技术的发展历程及其在教育、医疗、娱乐等多个行业的革命性应用。文章还对比了增强现实（AR） 与VR的关键区别，指出AR因其设备更易得而应用更广泛，并展望两者将共同改变未来。 32. B.文章首段明确提到，VR概念源于20世纪30年代的科幻小说，但“20世纪下半叶，电子游戏设计师将这些虚构技术变为现实”（the second half of the 20th century saw video game designers bring these fictional technologies to life）。A. VR was first used to make up sci-fi stories in the 1930s.：该选项混淆了概念起源与实际应用。VR的“概念”出现在科幻小说中，但并非在30年代就“应用”于创作小说。C. The launch of headsets accelerated the development of VR.：头显设备确实重要，但根据文章，20世纪90年代世嘉的头显并未成功推广（never took off），真正重燃VR热潮并推动其发展的是21世纪10年代Oculus Rift等设备，该选项表述不准确。D. VR has been popular with game players for almost 100 years.：VR真正发展与普及是近几十年的事，远未达到100年，属于夸大其词。 33. A.文章第二段指出VR能让你与模拟的场景（simulated landscapes）互动，第三段所举的教育和医疗例子（如探索虚拟生态系统、进行模拟手术）都体现了VR通过创建模拟现实的可交互环境来改变行业。B. It distracts users’ attention from reality.：转移注意力仅是VR在医疗中减轻患者疼痛的一个具体应用，无法概括其重塑各行各业的核心方式。C. It offers practical personalized activities.：“个性化”活动文中未强调，属于无中生有。D. It saves the trouble of building equipment.：VR本身需要特定设备，它并不能节省构建现实设备的麻烦，文中例子强调的是在虚拟环境中进行安全、可控的实践。 34. C.根据上下文，VR正在改变（revolutionize）不同行业，而游戏产业是其中一个领域。因此，“shaking up”与“revolutionize”呼应，意为带来重大变革。A. Facing big challenges. 和 B. Sparking heated debate.：文章充满对VR应用的积极描述，未提及其面临挑战或引发争议。D. Enjoying public support.：“享受公众支持”可能是一个事实，但无法准确表达“shaking up”所蕴含的“颠覆、革新”的主动含义。 35. A.文章在对比AR和VR时明确指出，AR的设备（如智能手机、平板电脑）具有便携、易得的特点（portable, accessible），这意味着它拥有更广泛的应用（more broadly used）。B. The technology for AR is more advanced.：文章并未比较AR和VR的技术哪个更先进。C. AR is more widely used in computer games.：文章以《Pokémon GO》为例说明AR在游戏中的应用，但并未直接比较AR和VR在游戏领域的应用广度。D. AR is more easily adopted in map designing.：AR在地图导航（如AR步行导航）中的应用只是一个例子，用于说明其易得性带来的好处，但“更容易被地图设计采纳”并非文中直接阐述的AR相对于VR的普遍优势。 20 江苏省镇江市2026届高三上学期零模 C篇 本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了植物克隆技术——微繁殖。文章阐述了该技术的原理（利用植物外植体在受控环境中培育）、优势（解决不结种问题、高效繁殖经济作物、生产脱毒及抗逆品种）以及基本操作流程（从选择外植体到最终移栽），并提及了家庭环境下可进行的简易应用（如玫瑰扦插）。 28. What can people do with the special method according to paragraph 1? 答案：C. Grow new identical plants. 第一段末尾明确说明了这种特殊方法（克隆）的结果：“these copies like the mother plant are called plant clones.”（这些与母本相似的复制品被称为植物克隆。）“copies like the mother plant” 即意味着 “新的、相同的植物”。因此C选项正确。 29.What does the underlined word “them” stand for in paragraph 2? 答案：A. Explants. 第二段中，“them”所在的句子为：“It uses tiny pieces of plant tissue, called explants, from a ‘mother plant’ and raises them in a clean lab...”（它使用来自“母本”的、称为外植体的微小植物组织，并在洁净的实验室中培育它们……）。“them”指代的是前一句中提到的“tiny pieces of plant tissue, called explants”。因此，“them”指代的是外植体。A选项正确。 30. What can we learn about the process according to the last paragraph? 答案：C. The growth of explants needs special care. 最后一段详细描述了微繁殖的过程，其中提到：“After being cleaned, explants grow into complete plants in a room with a controlled environment.”（清洁后，外植体在环境受控的房间内长成完整的植物。）“controlled environment”（受控环境）意味着需要特定的光照、温度、湿度等条件，这正是一种 “特殊照顾” 。因此C选项正确。A、B、D选项均与最后一段内容不符。 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? 答案：C. Plant Cloning: Its Benefits and Procedure 全文围绕“植物克隆（微繁殖）”展开。文章结构清晰：第一段引入概念，第二段解释原理，第三段重点阐述其益处（解决不结种、高效繁殖、生产脱毒和抗逆品种），第四段介绍其操作流程（步骤和简易家庭应用）。因此，C选项 “植物克隆：其益处和步骤” 全面、准确地概括了文章的核心内容。其他选项仅涉及文章的某一部分细节，不能作为全文标题。 D篇 本文探讨了蓬勃发展的“爪印经济”——即宠物旅行市场。文章首先指出宠物旅行在加强人与宠物纽带方面的益处，但随即揭示了行业供给与消费者真实需求间的巨大差距：宠物主人更看重实际关怀、安全和绿色空间等，而非华而不实的“额外服务”。文章进一步分析了问题根源在于“一刀切”的思维，无法满足不同宠物和旅行者的多样化需求，导致信任缺失。最后，文章为旅游业指出方向：提供透明信息、设计真正宠物友好的空间并培训员工，以提供令人满意的核心服务，而非仅停留在表面的“宠物友好”标签。 32.What is the first paragraph intended to do? 答案：A. Show the rise and advantages of pet travel. 第一段开篇列举了酒店套餐、宠物友好菜单等事实，指出这是“正在蓬勃发展的‘爪印经济’”（it’s booming）。随后点明宠物旅行是一种“变革”（transformation），并列举了其带来的好处：“strengthened bonds, shared experiences and opportunities to build skills and confidence”（加强纽带、共享经历以及培养技能和信心的机会）。因此，本段的意图是展示宠物旅行的兴起及其优势。A选项准确概括了这一点。 33.What is the real reason for pet travel planning according to paragraph 2? 答案：D. Access to green spaces. 第二段在列举了人们看重的六个关键品质后，明确指出：“Crucially, green spaces drive pet travel planning, boosting wellbeing for both human and animal. After all, this is the real reason why people choose to travel with pets.”（关键的是，绿色空间驱动着宠物旅行计划，提升人和动物的福祉。毕竟，这才是人们选择带宠物旅行的真正原因。）因此，宠物旅行计划的真正原因是能够接触/前往绿色空间。D选项正确。 34.What is the disadvantage of one-size-fits-all thinking? 答案：C. It fails to meet different needs. 第三段分析了“一刀切”思维的问题。文章指出，研究识别出三类不同的带狗旅行者（寻求基础便利的、追求高品质体验的、热爱户外活动的），并举例说明“一只在城市度假的吉娃娃和一只在徒步旅行的拉布拉多需求不同”。然而，“many providers offer generic packages that delight no one”（许多服务商提供通用的套餐，谁都不满意）。这直接说明了“一刀切”思维的缺点正是无法满足不同的需求。因此C选项正确。 35.How can the travel industry offer genuine pet-friendly experiences according to the evidence? 答案：D. By offering satisfactory service. 文章最后一段总结了业界的证据和方向。它指出：“pet-friendly facilities, support with activities, and attentive service outweigh add-ons”（宠物友好设施、活动支持以及周到的服务胜过附加项目）。实现这一点意味着：“providing transparent online information... designing spaces that genuinely welcome pets, and training staff to deliver a knowledgeable service”（提供透明的在线信息……设计真正欢迎宠物的空间，培训员工具备专业知识的服务）。所有这些举措的核心，都是为了提供令人满意的服务，从而建立真正的宠物友好体验。因此D选项是这些具体措施的共同目标与概括。 21 江西省五市十校协作体2026届高三1月阶段性作业暨期末考试 C篇 28. B解析：根据第一段第一句可知，海南全岛封关运作是建设海南自由贸易港的关键一步，其目的是打造高水平自贸港，而非封岛、严格管控人员或限制境外资金流入。 29. C解析：根据第二段最后一句，加工增值超30%的产品销往内地可免关税，大幅降低了企业成本；A选项税目数量是增加而非减少，B选项“所有产品”表述绝对，D选项简化的是境外货物通关流程而非内地货物。 30. D根据语境，可推测“tariff-free”的含义是“免税的”。A选项“无需额外等待时间”、B选项“加工流程简便”均不符合上下文逻辑，C选项“被允许自由流通”。 31.B解析：文章介绍了海南全岛封关的核心政策，并详细阐述了其在经济发展、制度创新、区域协同和民生福祉等方面的意义与影响，因此主旨为B选项。A选项仅涵盖部分内容；C、D选项在原文中均未涉及。 D篇 32.D 推理判断题 根据第一段中的“... we are all subject to confirmation bias — the tendency to interpret new information as confirmation of our existing beliefs while subconsciously ignoring evidence that proves them wrong.”可知，确认偏见是指人们倾向于下意识地接受支持自己现有观念的信息，而忽略相反的证据，由此推知，确认偏见的特点是“它有选择地处理信息”。 33.A 推理判断题 根据第二段中的“Many clients have never examined their beliefs, and they don’t even know the repetitive thoughts driving their confirmation bias. They just think that’s the way they are.”可知，许多客户从未审视过自己的信念系统，甚至不知道驱动他们确认偏见的重复性思维，他们只是认为“自己就是这样”。这说明他们对自己的思维习惯缺乏认知。 34.B解析：文章第三段提到“我们不愿改变信念，因为这往往需要改变自我认同，而这是我们本能抗拒的”，由此可推断，人们对改变信念的抗拒与自我认同密切相关。 35.A解析：标题需涵盖文章核心内容，A既提到确认偏误的影响，又涉及克服策略，全面贴合文意。B未提及“确认偏误”这一核心对象；C中“教练的作用”只是第二段的细节，非主旨；D仅对应第三段内容，过于片面。 22 江西省宜春市2026届高三上学期期末考试 C篇 【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“低维护友谊”展开，探讨其特点、重要影响因素，澄清相关认知误区，强调真正的低维护友谊并非无需付出努力，而是需要真诚、责任与相互付出。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My friends have shaped who I am today — whether sharing secrets over Korean barbecue or picturing futures through dream-sharing. They always accompanied me during vital life moments, from brave leaps of faith to dark struggles.(我的朋友塑造了今天的我——无论是在韩国烤肉店分享秘密，还是通过畅谈梦想描绘未来。在我人生的重要时刻，从勇敢的信念跨越到艰难的挣扎，他们总是陪伴着我)”可知，作者过去的朋友总是能陪伴在他身边。故选A项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, some use this label to treat friends without proper honesty, ignoring responsibilities hiding behind the name of “low-effort” bonds. Personally, I balance being low-maintenance with purposeful care: planning trips, deep conversations, and gestures like poems or song recommendations.(然而，有些人用这个标签对待朋友时缺乏应有的真诚，忽视了隐藏在“低付出”关系名义下的责任。就我个人而言，我在保持低维护的同时，也会进行有意义的关怀：规划旅行、深入交谈，以及赠送诗歌或推荐歌曲等举动)”和第四段中的“Healthy low-maintenance friendships require honesty about needs and reciprocity(健康的低维护友谊需要对需求保持真诚，并需要reciprocity)”可知，责任和真诚对低维护友谊至关重要。故选D项。 【30题详解】词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Healthy low-maintenance friendships require honesty about needs and reciprocity: being present during important moments, not just convenient ones, and valuing genuine presence over texting frequency.(健康的低维护友谊需要对需求保持真诚，并需要reciprocity：在重要时刻出现，而不仅仅是在方便的时候，重视真正的陪伴而非发信息的频率)”可知，冒号后内容是对前文“honesty about needs and reciprocity”的解释，强调在朋友重要时刻在场、重视真诚陪伴，这体现了朋友间的相互付出与交换，由此猜测reciprocity意为“相互交换、互惠互利”。故选B项。 【31题详解】推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章开篇由作者与朋友的联系变化引出“低维护友谊”这一话题，随后介绍其特点、误区，阐述健康低维护友谊所需的要素，最后总结真正的低维护友谊需要付出努力、真诚与支持。整体核心是围绕“低维护友谊”展开，目的揭示低维护友谊的本质。故选A项。 D篇 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍人工智能在法律领域的应用现状、优势与局限性，以及法院和律所针对AI使用的管控措施，强调律师需谨慎使用AI。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“AI’s application in legal fields is not new — law firms widely use it for document review, like AI-powered predictive coding, privilege log recommendations and legal research. Unlike open-source AI that learns from the Internet, such tools only rely on provided datasets and instructions.(人工智能在法律领域的应用并非新鲜事——律师事务所广泛将其用于文档审查，例如人工智能驱动的预测编码、保密日志建议和法律研究。与从互联网学习的开源人工智能不同，此类工具仅依赖提供的数据集和指令)”和第二段中的“A 2018 experiment compared AI and experienced lawyers in document review: AI found contract risks with 94% accuracy in 26 seconds, while lawyers took 92 minutes for 85% accuracy.(2018年的一项实验在文档审查方面对比了人工智能和资深律师：人工智能在26秒内以94%的准确率发现了合同风险，而律师则用了92分钟，准确率为85%)”可知，人工智能可应用于法律领域的文档审查等特定方面，具备一定适用性。故选C项。 【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Recent focus on open-source AI highlights its limitations: it can make up case information, like fake names and dates, since it can’t access relevant case law, endangering lawyers who skip fact-checking. Two cases illustrate this: New York lawyers who used ChatGPT for a brief (辩护状) with fake citations (引用) were fined, ordered to apologize, and punished; a Colorado associate, pressured for time, submitted an AI-generated brief with fake citations, leading to a fine and firing.(最近对开源人工智能的关注凸显了其局限性：由于无法获取相关判例法，它会编造案件信息，如虚假姓名和日期，这会使跳过事实核查的律师陷入麻烦。两个案例说明了这一点：纽约的律师使用ChatGPT撰写带有虚假引用的辩护状，被罚款、勒令道歉并受到处罚；科罗拉多州一名律师因时间压力，提交了人工智能生成的带有虚假引用的诉状，最终被罚款并解雇)”可知，这两个案例均因律师未对AI生成内容进行事实核查而引发不良后果，以此凸显事实核查的重要性。故选B项。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Courts have responded with rules. A Northern District of Texas judge requires lawyers to file a certificate confirming no generative AI was used in filings, or that AI-drafted content was human-checked via legal databases — failure to obey it may lead to Rule 11 sanctions (制裁). Hawaii’s federal court demands a “Reliance on Unchecked Source” declaration for AI-used submissions, confirming no fake material.(法院已通过规则做出回应。德克萨斯州北区法官要求律师提交证明，确认文件中未使用生成式人工智能，或人工智能起草的内容已通过法律数据库进行人工核查——不遵守可能会受到第11条规则的制裁。夏威夷联邦法院要求对使用人工智能提交的材料出具“依赖未核查来源”声明，确认无虚假内容)”以及第五段中的“Critics argue such rules restrict free speech or burden small firms, but most agree AI needs tight control.(批评者认为此类规则限制言论自由或给小律所带来负担，但大多数人同意人工智能需要严格管控)”可知，作者提及法院规则是为了呈现针对AI在法律领域使用的管控措施。故选D项。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇介绍AI在法律领域的应用场景与优势，随后重点阐述AI存在编造信息、可能引发歧视等局限性，以及法院和律所的管控措施，最终落脚于“律师必须谨慎使用AI”这一核心观点，核心是围绕“律师能否信任AI”展开。A项“律师能否相信AI？”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A项。 23 辽宁省2026届高三五校联考1月期末考试 C篇 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现金鱼草能“听”懂声音。它听到传粉者的嗡嗡声会增加花蜜糖分以示奖励，听到花蜜强盗的声音则减少糖分。这揭示了植物适应环境的智慧及与昆虫的协同进化关系。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Barbero noticed that different insects make different sounds when flying. The researchers recorded the sounds of two insects: a bee from the Amegilla genus, which is a good pollinator that boosts seed production, and a type of bumblebee that is a nectar robber. They also recorded pink noise, a common background noise in nature, as a control. In the experiment, they played these sounds to indoor-grown snapdragons using speakers. They measured the sugar content in the nectar after 10 minutes, 3 hours and 5 days, and also checked changes in the plants’ gene activity.(巴贝罗注意到，不同的昆虫在飞行时会发出不同的声音。研究人员记录了两种昆虫的声音：一种是来自阿梅吉拉属的蜜蜂，这种蜜蜂是出色的传粉者，能够促进种子的生成；另一种是某种大黄蜂，属于掠夺花蜜的种类。他们还记录了粉噪声，这是自然界中常见的背景噪音作为对照。在实验中，他们用扬声器将这些声音播放给室内种植的金鱼草听。他们分别在10分钟、3小时和5天后测量了花蜜中的糖含量，并检查了植物基因活动的变化情况)”可知，研究人员在实验中使用粉红噪声是为了测试金鱼草是否能够识别特定的昆虫声音。故选B。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“The results were clear. Pink noise had no effect. But when the pollinator’s buzz was played, the snapdragons increased the sugar in their nectar within 10 minutes. This sweet reward encourages the bees to visit more flowers. Surprisingly, when the nectar robber’s buzz was played, the plants produced nectar with less sugar. What’s more, this effect lasted for at least 5 days. The researchers found that this was due to changes in gene activity. Some genes became more active while others less so. Depending on the sound, these genes are likely related to moving sugar into and out of the nectar.(结果很明显。粉噪声没有效果。但当传粉者的嗡嗡声响起时，这些金鱼草在10分钟内会增加其花蜜中的糖分含量。这种甜美的奖励会鼓励蜜蜂去更多地采花。令人惊讶的是，当花蜜窃贼的嗡嗡声响起时，这些植物所分泌的花蜜中的糖分含量会降低。而且，这种效果至少能持续5天。研究人员发现，这是由于基因活动的变化所致。有些基因变得更加活跃，而有些则变得不那么活跃。根据声音的不同，这些基因很可能与将糖分输送到和抽取出花蜜中有关)”可知，实验结果表明金鱼草能够聪明地适应环境。故选A。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Alessandro Cini, a behavioral ecologist, said they could lead to new ways of monitoring insects or controlling plant responses, and also reveal the coevolutionary relationship between insects and flowers that has shaped our world. It may open up a new understanding of how plants interact with their environment.(行为生态学家亚历山德罗·奇尼表示，这些发现可能会带来监测昆虫或控制植物反应的新方法，还能揭示昆虫与花朵之间相互进化的关系，这种关系塑造了我们的世界。这或许能让我们对植物如何与环境相互作用有更深入的理解)”可知，亚历山德罗·奇尼认为这一发现对于理解植物具有很大的价值。故选B。 【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study has found that snapdragons (金鱼草), a common garden flower, can tell the difference between the buzz of helpful pollinators (传粉者) and harmful nectar (花蜜) robbers, and adjust their nectar accordingly.(一项新的研究发现，金鱼草（一种常见的花园花卉）能够区分有益的传粉者发出的嗡嗡声和有害的花蜜窃取者的嗡嗡声，并相应地调整其花蜜的产量)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现金鱼草能“听”懂声音。它听到传粉者的嗡嗡声会增加花蜜糖分以示奖励，听到花蜜强盗的声音则减少糖分。这揭示了植物适应环境的智慧及与昆虫的协同进化关系。可知，这篇文章主要讲的是金鱼草能够根据昆虫发出的声音来调整花蜜的成分。故选C。 D篇 本文是一篇议论文。文章作者驳斥用AI完全取代医生的观点，指出AI局限性，主张人机协作推动医疗发展。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“She also ignores AI’s natural limitations: it cannot perform physical examinations, surgeries or handle complex emergency situations that demand human judgment and adaptability.(她还忽视了人工智能的固有局限性：它无法进行体格检查、手术或处理需要人类判断和适应能力的复杂紧急情况)”可知，人工智能在医学领域的一个显著缺点是不能做手术。故选B。 【33题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Yet as physician Dhruv Khullar warns, over-reliance on AI risks diminishing doctors’ diagnostic (诊断) skills and clinical judgment due to a lack of practice, leaving patients in danger when technology fails — an increasingly likely situation during climate-driven problems and system failures.(然而，正如医生德鲁夫・库拉所警告的那样，过度依赖人工智能会因缺乏实践而有diminishing医生诊断技能和临床判断力的风险，当技术出现故障时，患者将陷入危险 —— 在气候引发的问题和系统故障期间，这种情况发生的可能性越来越大)”可知，缺乏实践会让医生的专业能力变弱，因此“diminishing”意为 “削弱”。故选A。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The path forward doesn’t lie in replacing doctors with AI, but in building good teamwork between the two.(未来的发展方向不在于用人工智能取代医生，而在于建立两者之间良好的协作关系)”可知，作者主张促进人工智能和医生的合作。故选C。 【35题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“While I fully acknowledge AI as a valuable innovative tool that can improve medical efficiency, the book’s core argument that AI should completely replace doctors made me speechless. (虽然我完全承认人工智能是一种可以提高医疗效率的宝贵创新工具，但这本书中人工智能应该完全取代医生的核心论点让我无言以对)”以及最后一段中“Blease’s call for full doctor replacement is shortsighted. (布莱斯呼吁用人工智能完全取代医生的想法是目光短浅的)”可知，作者对布莱斯的核心论点持强烈批判态度。故选B。 24 辽宁省大连市2026届高三上学期期末双基模拟考试 C篇 【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章围绕新型透明有机光伏电池展开，介绍了该电池的研发背景、特性、工作原理，以及相关的温室应用实验，同时提及了该技术目前存在的挑战。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Recently, some groups of scientists made OPVs that are transparent (透明的), or clear. Because they let light pass through, this inspired Yang’s team to create and test a solar cell that could be installed (安装) on greenhouse roofs so that electricity is generated and sufficient light is provided for plants.(最近，一些科学家团队成功制造出了透明的有机光伏电池。由于这种电池能让光线通过，这启发了杨的团队研发并测试了一种可以安装在温室屋顶上的太阳能电池，从而能够产生电能并为植物提供充足的光照。)”可知，杨的团队的有机光伏电池和普通太阳能电池的区别在于其具备透明的特性。故选A。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Yang’s solar cells let visible light pass through, which makes them look clear. But solar cells must also absorb some light to generate electricity. Yang’s OPVs absorb infra-red light. (杨的太阳能电池能让可见光通过，因此看起来很清晰。但太阳能电池必须吸收一部分光线才能产生电能。而杨的有机光伏材料则能吸收红外线)”可知，在杨的实验中，有机光伏电池是利用红外线来发电的。故选B。 【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“One group had aluminum foil (铝箔) on the sides and a clear OPV on top. Beakers in the final group were fully wrapped in aluminum foil to block all light. After 13 days, the results were striking. In the foil-covered beakers, plants grew poorly. But seeds with a clear solar cell on top grew about as well as seeds in uncovered beakers. That means the solar cells might function effectively on the roof of a greenhouse without holding back plant growth. (一组实验中的容器侧面覆盖着铝箔，顶部则装有透明的有机光伏板。最后一组实验中的烧杯则完全用铝箔包裹起来，以阻挡所有光线。13 天后，实验结果令人震惊。在铝箔覆盖的烧杯中，植物生长状况不佳。但顶部装有透明太阳能电池的种子与未覆盖的烧杯中的种子生长状况相当。这意味着太阳能电池在温室屋顶上可能能有效工作，且不会阻碍植物的生长)”可知，从实验中能得出该有机光伏电池可以用于温室的结论。故选C。 【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段““But our lab’s cell is very small,” Yang says. “When the solar cell is made with a large area, the efficiency typically drops a little bit. We are keenly aware of the possible challenges and will take them seriously. (“但我们实验室的电池面积很小。”杨说道。“如果将太阳能电池做成大面积的，其效率通常会略有下降。我们深知可能存在的一些挑战，并会认真对待这些问题。”)”可知，杨既看到了技术的潜力，也明确知晓其面临的问题，对待该太阳能电池的未来持谨慎的态度。故选D。 D篇 【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕大型语言模型展现出的类情感倾向展开，指出该现象加剧了社会在人工智能意识问题上的分歧，介绍了分歧双方的不同观点，畅想了具备意识的人工智能的可能形态，并结合进化论的争议历史，强调应尽早建立相关框架，避免分歧进一步扩大。 【32题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“A recent study on large language models（LLMs）has uncovered a striking finding: these AI systems exhibit a strong tendency to avoid “pain”. Moreover, similar signs of emotion are popping up more and more frequently. Though these signs of emotion are unconfirmed, they are enough to widen the split in our existing cultural divide. (最近一项关于大型语言模型（LLMs）的研究揭示了一个惊人的发现：这些人工智能系统表现出强烈的规避“痛苦”的倾向。此外，类似的情绪迹象也越来越频繁地出现。尽管这些情绪迹象尚未得到证实，但它们足以加剧我们现有文化分歧的差距)”可知，第一段的核心内容是人工智能呈现出的类情感倾向可能会加剧社会观点的分裂。故选B。 【33题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段“One side will accuse the other of cruelly exploiting AI, while the other will dismiss the first group as ‘fooling themselves into believing machines have real consciousness’.(一方会指责另一方残酷地exploiting人工智能，而另一方则会将前者斥为’自欺欺人地认为机器具有真正的意识’)”可知，这是分歧双方的对立观点，一方认为机器有意识，所以会指责另一方的相关行为是伤害、利用人工智能。结合语境可推测exploiting的含义是“利用”。故选A。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“History offers similar stories. Consider the teaching of evolution, which still faces resistance in parts of the United States more than a century after Darwin put it forward. There’s no reason that the debate over AI “consciousness” will be any different. What’s worse, unlike evolution — backed by evidence like fossils (化石) — we have no concrete proof to definitively confirm or deny whether AI is conscious. (历史中也有类似的故事。以进化论的教育为例，尽管达尔文提出这一理论已逾一个世纪，但在美国的部分地区仍遭到了抵制。同样的，关于人工智能“意识”的争论也不会有什么不同。更糟糕的是，与进化论不同（进化论有诸如化石之类的证据支持），我们并没有具体的证据来明确证实或否定人工智能是否具有意识)”可知，作者提及进化论的教学，是为了用进化论的争议历史来佐证自己的观点，即人工智能意识的争论也会持续存在且难以平息。故选B。 【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“That’s why now — before the divide becomes irreparable — is the critical moment to act. We need to develop a framework for the future based on thoughtful conversation and safely guide society forward, rather than let it tear us apart. (这就是为什么现在——在分歧变得无法弥合之前——是采取行动的关键时刻。我们需要在充分讨论的基础上为未来制定一个框架，引导社会稳步发展，而不是让分歧将我们分裂)”可知，作者的写作目的是呼吁人们尽早采取行动，做好准备，为人工智能的未来发展制定相关框架。故选D。 25 山东省德州市2026届高三期末调研测试 C篇 这是一篇说明文。讲述了荷兰Oostvaardersplassen自然保护区从“无干预”生态实验到引发伦理争议、最终转向主动管理的全过程，探讨了生态保护中“自然进程”与“人文伦理”的平衡问题。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Its wetland area, once a paradise (天堂) for marsh birds, soon became a fertile breeding ground for different birds. Inspired by Dutch biologist Frans Vera, it was designated as a nature reserve in 1983, where wildlife thrived without human involvement. (它的湿地曾是沼泽鸟类的天堂，很快成为了各类鸟类的繁衍地，受到荷兰生物学家Frans Vera的启发，1983年这里被划定为自然保护区，让野生动物在无人类干预的情况下繁衍生息)”可知，这片湿地成为了野生动物的理想栖息地，因此被设为自然保护区。故选B项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“The reserve, fenced within an area of 30 square miles, was isolated from wildlife corridors and surrounding landscapes, blocking the animals from accessing external shelter and food sources. With no predators controlling the grazer population, their numbers grew unchecked, consuming almost all the vegetation and leaving nothing but the bare land. (保护区被围栏圈在30平方英里范围内，与野生动物走廊和周边环境隔绝，阻碍动物获取外部庇护所和食物。由于没有捕食者控制食草动物数量，其数量不受控制地增长，几乎吃光了所有植被，只留下一片光秃秃的土地)”可知，保护区被围栏隔离是导致2018年生态危机的主要原因。故选A项。 【30题详解】词句猜测题。根据第四段“People now actively intervene; planting trees, feeding the animals if needed, introducing predators like wolves and capping the grazers to keep their numbers in check. (如今，人们会主动采取行动；比如植树造林、在必要时为动物喂食、引入像狼这样的捕食者，以及____食草动物的数量以控制其数量增长)”可知，capping与后半句“控制其数量”构成直接的解释说明关系。此处cap字面意思为“盖上盖子”，引申为“设定上限、加以限制”，在生态管理语境下，指通过人为手段限定食草动物的数量上限，以防止过度繁殖破坏生态平衡，capping的含义与“keep their numbers in check (控制其数量)”完全对应。故选D项。 【31题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第五段“While some still advocate non-intervention, the controversy has evolved into a broader reflection on whether to prioritize raw natural processes or to balance ecological health with ethical and social expectations. (尽管仍有一些人主张不进行干预，但这场争论已经演变成对是否应优先考虑自然的原始进程，还是应将生态健康与伦理及社会期望相平衡这一更广泛问题的反思。)”可推知，标题需突出伦理与荒野的冲突这一核心辩论。 由此可知，D项“Ethics vs. Wilderness: Oostvaardersplassen on Trial (伦理与荒野：奥斯特瓦尔德斯普拉森保护区受考验)”能概括全文的核心矛盾与争议焦点，最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 D篇 这是一篇说明文。围绕“信念修正”这一人类思维能力展开，通过黑猩猩的实验，揭示了动物也具备类似的复杂推理和反思能力，从而探讨了人类与灵长类动物之间的认知界限。 【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“You have reasons for your beliefs. You can reflect on those reasons: “Why do I think there’s a serial killer upstairs? It’s because the floor creaked (嘎吱).” You can also adjust your beliefs with more evidence piled up: “Having combed the room, I must conclude that it’s just an old, creaky house.” (你持有某种想法是有其缘由的。你能反思这些缘由：“我为什么会觉得楼上有连环杀手？是因为地板发出了嘎吱声。”你也能在掌握更多证据后调整自己的想法：“把房间彻底搜查一遍后，我不得不下结论，这不过是一栋老旧、地板爱嘎吱作响的房子罢了。”)”及第二段“This skill is known as belief revision (这种能力被称为信念修正)”可知，作者以“楼上有杀手”的故事开篇，是为了引出并展示“信念修正”这一技能。故选C项。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Experiments revolved around food hidden in one of several boxes: The chimps would pick the box they thought was most promising based on an initial clue. Then they’d get another clue that conflicted with the first. Given the chance to rethink, they almost always chose the box predicted by a sound-reasoning rule. (实验 核心是将食物藏在几个盒子中的一个：黑猩猩会根据最初得到的线索，挑选自己认为最有可能藏有食物的盒子。随后它们会得到另一个与第一条线索相矛盾的线索。当有机会重新思考时，它们几乎总是选择符合合理推理规则的盒子)”可知，黑猩猩能够权衡相互矛盾的线索，并基于理性推理做出选择。故选A项。 【34题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段“When hearing something bouncing around inside box, they would assume that it was an apple, but then the experimenter would pull out a stone. Realizing they had been misled, the chimps would immediately opt for box 2, even though it appeared negligible a moment before. “This was the cherry on top,” says study co-author Jan Engelmann (当听到盒子里有东西在碰撞声中四处移动时，它们会以为那是苹果，但随后实验者会拿出一块石头。意识到自己被误导后，黑猩猩会立刻选择盒子2，尽管它刚才看起来无关紧要。研究合著者Jan Engelmann说：“这是____。”)”可知，黑猩猩在意识到最初线索(声音)具有误导性(盒中实为石头)后，能立即调整判断、选择之前忽略的盒子2，研究合著者Jan Engelmann将此现象称为the cherry on top，结合上文黑猩猩已展现的复杂推理能力，the cherry on top应指在已有出色表现基础上“更进一步的亮点或完美收尾”，黑猩猩所展现的“在证据被推翻后，能主动放弃原有错误推断并重新决策”这一超出研究者预期的、更高层次的推理能力。故选A项。 【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“More than 150 years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that our extraordinary mental powers would turn out to be found throughout the animal kingdom. If chimpanzees are truly capable of reflection, the gap between us and our primate cousins narrows a bit further, as they consider the world in a way we think of as being rational (理性的). (150多年前，查尔斯・达尔文预言，我们非凡的心智能力会在整个动物界中被发现。如果黑猩猩真的具备反思能力，我们与灵长类近亲之间的差距就又缩小了一点，因为它们也在用一种我们认为独属于人类的、理性的方式看待这个世界)”可知，作者提到达尔文是为了说明理性思考能力并不为人类独有，而是延伸到了动物界。故选B项。 26 山东省济南市2026届高三第一次模拟考试 C篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了南京航空航天大学团队研发的水集成漂浮式水滴发电装置（W-DEG）利用雨水发电的原理、优势及未来研究方向。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“A research team from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has developed a water-integrated floating droplet electricity generator (W-DEG) that uses natural water as part of its structure, offering clean energy harvesting.(南京航空航天大学的一个研究小组开发了一种水集成漂浮式水滴发电装置（W-DEG），它利用天然水作为其结构的一部分，提供清洁能源收集。)”可知，W-DEG旨在利用雨水发电。故选B。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“To improve reliability further, the team used water’s strong surface tension to design holes that let water move downward. This creates a self-adjusting way to stop water from building up that could affect performance.(为了进一步提高可靠性，该团队利用水强大的表面张力来设计一些孔洞，使水能够向下流动。这样就形成了一种能够自动调节的机制，以防止水积聚从而影响性能。)”可知，研究团队在W-DEG中设计孔是为了防止积水。故选C。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“The system also charged capacitors (电容器) to useful electric tension only within minutes, showing its potential for powering small electronics and wireless sensors.(该系统还能在短短几分钟内将电容器充电至有效电压，展现出为小型电子设备和无线传感器供电的潜力。)”可知，W-DEG的优势是快速充电能力。故选D。 【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Although the laboratory results are encouraging, extending the service life of large dielectric films in dynamic outdoor conditions will also require further engineering.(尽管实验室结果令人鼓舞，但在动态户外条件下延长大型介电薄膜的使用寿命还需要进一步的工程研究。)”可知，后续研究的方向可能是提高耐久性。故选C。 D篇 本文是一篇议论文。文章通过鸵鸟的比喻引出“信息回避”这一概念，通过一项研究探讨了人们为何从好奇的孩子变成选择性回避信息的人，并分析了信息回避的原因、后果，最后呼吁人们重新找回早年勇敢的好奇心。 【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“We’ve all heard that ostriches (鸵鸟) bury their heads in the sand when danger approaches. While untrue for the ostriches, it mirrors a common human behavior called “information avoidance” — the active choice to turn away from the freely available information highly relevant to ourselves.(我们都听说过，当危险来临时，鸵鸟会把头埋在沙子里。虽然这对鸵鸟来说是不真实的，但它反映了一种常见的人类行为，称为“信息回避”——即主动选择避开那些与我们自身高度相关且唾手可得的信息)”可推知，作者通过将人类主动选择回避信息的行为与鸵鸟遇到危险时把头埋进沙子的行为进行类比，从而引出“信息回避”这一概念。故选A项。 【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Researchers explained as children grow older, they become more concerned with feeling at ease — even if their actions might not be moral. By avoiding their partner’s information, they tend to keep a sense of fairness, or at least appearing fair. This strategy makes it easier to act in satisfying personal interests without feeling guilty.(研究人员解释称，随着孩子年龄增长，他们更倾向于追求心理舒适——即使其行为可能不符合道德标准。通过回避伙伴的信息，他们试图维持(或至少表现出)公平感。这种策略能让人更容易地在满足个人利益的同时，避免产生愧疚感)”可知，年龄较大的孩子回避伙伴的信息是为了维持一种(至少是表面的)公平感和良好的自我感觉，以避免内疚。故选A项。 【34题详解】主旨大意题。根据第四段“Yet avoidance has long-term costs. Skipping health screenings may ease anxiety now, but can risk serious health issues later. Avoiding tough conversations may prevent short term conflict, but will likely trap people in unsatisfying relationships. “By repeatedly avoiding opposing views,” researchers warn, “we build avoidance habits that can harden into rigid thinking patterns over time.”(然而，回避是有长期代价的。跳过健康检查现在可能可以缓解焦虑，但以后可能会面临严重的健康问题。回避艰难的对话可能可以避免短期的冲突，但可能会使人们陷入不满意的关系中。研究人员警告说：“通过反复回避相反的观点，我们会养成回避的习惯，随着时间的推移，这些习惯会变成僵化的思维模式。”)”可知，本段主要讲述了信息回避带来的各种后果。故选A项。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It’s no wonder researchers refer to this as a fundamental human contradiction: we start out in life as curious explorers, eager as possible to absorb whatever knowledge we can. Yet, somewhere along the way, we learn to stick our heads in the sand like an ostrich. This comfortable escape, nevertheless, can shape our choices and determine how our lives unfold. Recognizing this is the first step toward reclaiming the courageous curiosity that defines our earliest years.(难怪研究人员称这是一个基本的人类矛盾：我们一开始是好奇的探索者，尽可能急切地吸收任何我们能吸收的知识。然而，在人生的某个阶段，我们学会了像鸵鸟一样把头埋进沙子里。然而，这种舒适的逃避可以塑造我们的选择，决定我们生活的展开方式。认识到这一点是重新找回定义我们早年勇敢好奇心的第一步)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要探讨了人们为何会像鸵鸟一样回避信息，以及这种行为带来的后果，最后呼吁人们不要像鸵鸟一样回避信息，要勇敢面对。B项“Should we bury our heads like an ostrich?(我们应该像鸵鸟一样埋头吗?)”以问句形式，既呼应了开头的比喻，又点明了文章探讨的核心问题，作为文章标题最为合适。故选B项。 27 山东省青岛市部分学校2026届高三上学期1月期末调研 C篇 【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现狮子有两种吼声，研究者借人工智能分析多地狮吼录音识别出新型独特吼声，该人工智能方法助力狮子保护，应对其种群数量下降问题。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Lions have two types of roar. The newly identified sound is a roar that is mixed in with the recognizable “full-throated roar” of the lions. ( 狮子有两种咆哮。新发现的声音是一种吼声，与可识别的狮子“全喉吼声”混合在一起。)”以及第二段中“They found the roar hidden between grunts (呼噜声) and full-throated roars, which was distinct enough to be classified as its own sound. (他们发现这种吼声隐藏在咕噜声和全喉咙吼声之间，这种吼声足够清晰，可以被归类为它自己的声音。)”可知，发表在《Ecology and Evolution》上的研究关键发现是狮子除了已知的“全力吼叫”外，还有一种独特的新吼叫类型。故选A项。 【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Researchers from the University of Exeter used artificial intelligence to analyse the roars of animals to determine if there was more than one kind of sound. A total of 1,414 roars were analysed during a two-month study in the Nyerere National Park in Tanzania, which used microphones hidden in trees. Scientists also obtained more than 1,700 roars from collars worn by male lions in the Zimbabwean Bubye Valley Conservancy (BVC). (埃克塞特大学的研究人员使用人工智能来分析动物的吼声，以确定是否有不止一种声音。在坦桑尼亚尼雷尔国家公园进行的为期两个月的研究中，研究人员利用隐藏在树上的麦克风，共分析了1414种咆哮。科学家们还从津巴布韦布拜山谷保护协会（BVC）的雄狮项圈上获得了1700多条咆哮。)”可推知，研究人员通过对多个录音应用基于人工智能的分析来区分这两种类型的狮子吼叫。故选B项。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“But it has long been considered that lion roars may convey information relating to pride size, age or individual. (但长期以来，人们一直认为狮子的吼声可能传达了与狮群大小、年龄或个体有关的信息。)”可知，狮子的吼声可能传达关于狮群规模、年龄或个体身份的信息，由此可知，狮子的吼声是识别特定狮子的标志。故选B项。 【31题详解】词句猜测题。根据第四段中“There are around 25,000 animals in the wild in Africa, around half of the number at the start of the century. (非洲大约有25000只野生动物，大约是本世纪初数量的一半。)”由此可知，现在的数量是本世纪初的一半，说明数量在减少，故可猜测“Dwindling”意为“逐渐减少的”，和A选项On the decline“在下降”意思一致。故选A项。 D篇 【解析】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕对话式人工智能展开，结合多项研究探讨了这类AI对社交焦虑人群的影响，既指出其能缓解孤独与压力的优势，也分析了过度依赖它会加剧社交焦虑、削弱现实社交能力等潜在风险。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Renwen Zhang, Professor of the National University of Singapore, claims that many users find talking with AI ‘friends’ relieves loneliness and stress because the chatbots listen without ever criticizing or dismissing them and are available 24/7, characteristics difficult to find in the real world.(新加坡国立大学教授Renwen Zhang称，许多用户发现与人工智能’朋友’交谈可以缓解孤独和压力，因为聊天机器人会倾听，从不批评或忽视他们，而且24小时都在线，这些特点在现实世界中很难找到。)”可知，让有社交焦虑的用户与聊天机器人相处感到自在的是聊天机器人提供非评判性的回应。故选B项。 【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Zhang discussed the limitations of current conversational AI in handling mental distress (痛苦). Because conversational AI only reads the literal words, it misinterprets distress signals and fails to react appropriately. Similarly, unlike trained professionals, some conversational AI cannot recognize the severity of mental unwellness. It may reinforce negative thoughts and beliefs. Also, as AI is designed to maintain engagement, it may encourage focusing on troubling issues without realizing them.(张讨论了当前对话式人工智能在处理心理痛苦方面的局限性。因为对话式人工智能只读取字面意思，它会误解痛苦信号，无法做出适当反应。同样，与受过训练的专业人员不同，一些对话式人工智能无法识别心理不适的严重程度。它可能会强化负面想法和信念。此外，由于人工智能的设计目的是保持参与度，它可能会鼓励人们关注麻烦的问题而不自知。)”以及第三段中的“Since the system is not programmed to deal with such personal troubles or understand the real - world impact of its responses, this reliance can lead to harmful consequences.(由于该系统没有被编程来处理这些个人问题或理解其回应对现实世界的影响，这种依赖可能会导致有害后果。)”可推知，张提到对话式人工智能的局限性是为了强调对人工智能的依赖可能会产生不良后果。故选B项。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Undeniably, the emergence of conversational AI itself marks a leap in technological progress. Making chatbots more empathetic can help make interactions more engaging, relatable, and comforting, but doing this may pose several risks.(不可否认，对话式人工智能的出现本身标志着技术的一大进步。让聊天机器人更有同理心可以使互动更具吸引力、更相关、更能引起共鸣，但这样做可能会带来一些风险。)”可推知，作者对对对话式人工智能总体上是积极的，但对其潜在风险持谨慎态度。故选D项。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段中的“Undeniably, the emergence of conversational AI itself marks a leap in technological progress.

The urgent need was to find a pathway that could reconcile economic needs with ecological integrity.(实现环境保护与乡村发展的可持续平衡，是一项紧迫且复杂的全球性挑战。在中国风景秀美的洱海水域，这一难题多年来一直十分突出。集约型农业生产虽保障了当地民众的生计，却产生了化肥径流，危及湖泊的水质与生物多样性。当下的迫切需求，是找到一条能reconcile经济发展需求与生态完整性的路径。)”可知，前文提出要实现环保与发展的平衡，此处承接该话题，可推断reconcile意为“平衡；调和”。故选A项。 【29题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段“The core methodology is grounded in collaboration and knowledge transfer. Scientists do not simply issue instructions; they engage in dialogue, understanding farmers’ difficulties and expectations. For instance, by jointly promoting precise fertilization techniques, constructing artificial wetlands to naturally purify runoff, and advising on eco-friendly crop selection, the STB provides a framework that allows farmers to increase their income while significantly reducing pollution and protecting the lake’s biodiversity.(这一核心方法以协作与知识转化为根本原则。科研人员并非简单下达指令，而是开展对话交流，了解农户的实际困难与诉求。例如，通过联合推广精准施肥技术、建设人工湿地对径流进行自然净化，以及为农户挑选生态友好型作物提供指导，洱海科技小院搭建起一套实施框架，让农户得以在增收的同时，大幅减少污染、保护湖泊的生物多样性。)”可知，本段主要介绍了科技小院项目的核心方法和具体实践举措。故选D项。 【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Farmers who adopt these practices report higher and more stable incomes due to higher-priced markets for greener produce. One villager noted, “My costs are lower, and my rice sells for more.”(采用这些做法的农民因绿色农产品售价更高，收入更高且更稳定。一位村民说：“我的成本降低了，大米卖得更贵了。”)”可知，引用村民的话是为了具体证明该项目给农民带来的实际收益。故选C项。 【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“It moves beyond the false choice between economy and environment, proving that with respectful collaboration, scientific methodology, and enablement of local communities, villages can transition toward a future where prosperity and planetary health are mutually reinforcing goals.(这一模式打破了经济与环境二者择一的错误抉择，证明只要秉持互相尊重的协作模式、运用科学方法、赋能当地社区，乡村就能迈向繁荣发展与地球生态健康相辅相成的未来。)”并结合前文农民增收、洱海水质改善的内容可推断，科技小院模式实现了经济发展与生态保护的双赢。故选B项。 D篇 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了哥斯达黎加因发展导致野生动物面临电力线电击威胁及应对措施。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“In Costa Rica, a country known for its rich wildlife, rapid development is having a negative impact: each year, thousands of animals are killed by uninsulated (未绝缘的) power lines that are expanding into their natural habitats.(在以丰富野生动植物资源闻名的哥斯达黎加，快速发展正带来负面影响：每年都有成千上万的动物因延伸至其自然栖息地的未绝缘电线而触电身亡。)”可知，哥斯达黎加面临的问题是不安全的电力线对其野生动物构成重大威胁。故选D。 【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Economic growth and rising tourism in the Central American country have led to a construction boom, displacing the habitats of many wildlife species. To support this expansion, power lines with bare aluminium (Al) wires have been used. In rural areas, rapid urban expansion has led to widespread tree clearing. Wildlife often uses uninsulated overhead electric lines and transformers as runways in the air. According to Refuge for Wildlife, these uninsulated power lines are now the leading cause of death for howler monkeys.(这个中美洲国家的经济增长和旅游业的兴起导致了建筑热潮，取代了许多野生动物的栖息地。为了支持这种扩张，使用了裸铝电线。在农村地区，快速的城市扩张导致了广泛的树木砍伐。野生动物经常将未绝缘的高空电线和变压器作为空中的跑道。根据野生动物庇护所的说法，这些未绝缘的电线现在是吼猴死亡的主要原因。)”可知，第二段是为了解释野生动物触电的原因。故选C。 【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“In response to the issue, Refuge for Wildlife launched the “Stop the Shocks” campaign.(针对这一问题，野生动物庇护所组织发起了“阻止电击”行动。)”以及“It has collaborated with the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) to lower the potential risks to wildlife by using insulated power lines and transformers and clearing branches near wires.(它与哥斯达黎加电力研究所（ICE）合作，通过使用绝缘电线和变压器以及清除电线附近的树枝来降低对野生动物的潜在风险。)”可知，野生动物庇护所与哥斯达黎加电力研究所合作，通过减少潜在威胁来解决问题。故选A。 【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Rick Harness, a wildlife electrocution expert, argues this campaign is a step forward for wildlife in Costa Rica. “From what we’re seeing, the issue has gained more attention and thankfully, there are solutions. Still, further action is needed to protect wildlife. For example, the government should work with wildlife experts to map critical habitats and safeguard those areas. They can establish good reactive programs to ensure the immediate repair of any pole that kills an animal. Power companies can also change pole designs to minimize risk from the beginning. With continued effort, I believe real change is achievable,” Harness says.(野生动物触电防护专家Rick Harness认为，该行动是哥斯达黎加野生动物保护的重要进步。“从目前情况看，这一问题已获得更多关注，所幸也有应对方案。但保护野生动物仍需进一步行动。例如，政府应与野生动物专家合作，绘制关键栖息地分布图并加以保护；可建立高效的应急响应机制，确保发生动物触电的电线杆能立即维修；电力公司也可从源头优化电线杆设计，最大限度降低风险。只要持续努力，我相信真正的改变终将实现。”Harness表示。)”可知，Rick Harness认为这场运动是一个有希望的开始。故选A。 29 山东省烟台市2026届高三上学期期末学业质量水平诊断 C篇 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国能源部太平洋西北国家实验室（PNNL）研发的一种米粒大小的水下追踪标签，该标签解决了长期以来小型水生物种研究的技术空白，阐述了其技术特点、应用场景、重要作用以及目前仍面临的挑战。 【28题详解】词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a rice-sized underwater tracking tag (装置), addressing a longstanding gap in studying small aquatic (水生的) species. The gap has blocked conservation efforts for decades, as tiny creatures often form the base of aquatic food webs but remain understudied due to technological limitations.(美国能源部太平洋西北国家实验室（PNNL）的研究人员开发了一种米粒大小的水下追踪标签，解决了长期以来小型水生物种研究中的一个空白。几十年来，这一空白阻碍了保护工作的开展，因为这些微小生物往往构成水生食物网的基础，但由于技术限制，对它们的研究仍然不足)”可知，前文提到研发的新追踪标签解决了研究小型水生物种的空白，后文又说明该空白因技术限制导致对小型生物研究不足，由此可推断The gap指的是“缺乏合适的水下追踪装置”。故选D项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“PNNL’s new technology combines two key things: micro-batteries that hold vast quantities of electric power and better-designed signal senders. With this, the tag can work for about 40 days — sufficient to track full river migration cycles — and its signal can be picked up from hundreds of meters away.(PNNL的这项新技术结合了两个关键部分：能储存大量电力的微型电池和设计更精良的信号发射器。有了这个，该标签可以工作大约40天——足以追踪完整的河流迁徙周期——并且其信号在数百米外就能被接收到)”可知，微型电池能储存大量电力，使得标签可工作约40天，具备持久耐用的特点。故选A项。 【30题详解】主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“Scientists are already using this tag to study the young American shad, an endangered species threatened by dam construction, with plans to test it on delta smelt by next year. This tag will unlock insights into the small species that sustain entire ecosystems — and finally answer urgent questions about where they lay their eggs and migration routes — key to restoring their population amid pollution and habitat loss.(科学家们已经在使用这种标签研究年轻的美国鲥鱼，这是一种受到大坝建设威胁的濒危物种，并计划在明年将其用于三角洲胡瓜鱼的测试。这种标签将帮助人们深入了解维系整个生态系统的小型物种——并最终解答关于它们的产卵地和迁徙路线的迫切问题——这是在污染和栖息地丧失的情况下恢复其种群数量的关键)”可知，该段重点强调了这种新标签在研究濒危物种、了解生态系统维系物种、解答物种生存关键问题以及恢复物种数量等方面的作用，即突出了该标签的贡献。故选B项。 【31题详解】细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Nevertheless, certain issues remain unresolved. Small tags send signals at a higher frequency, but most of the current tools that receive these signals are made for bigger tags that use lower frequencies.(然而，某些问题仍未解决。小型标签以更高的频率发送信号，但目前大多数接收这些信号的工具是为使用更低频率的大型标签设计的)”可知，目前研究人员面临的挑战是小型标签的信号频率与现有接收工具的频率不匹配，即信号接收不匹配。故选B项。 D篇 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍田纳西大学研究者记录的库珀鹰在城市环境中独特的捕猎策略，阐述其适应城市生活的机制，并说明该研究对人与野生动物共存的意义。 【32题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Over 18 freezing winter mornings, Dinetes observed from a parked vehicle as birds gathered on the sidewalk to eat food left by residents. In a nearby tree, a young hawk waited, listening, for a specific electric sound that signals it’s safe to cross the street. This high tone, tied to a red-light extension from 30 to 90 seconds, meant cars would stretch farther back along the block, forming a dense line. When that line reached a certain point, the hawk would launch an attack, flying low along the sidewalk, hidden by the line of waiting cars. Then it would slip, bursting into the birds’ feeding space and securing an exceptionally high hunting success rate.(在18个寒冷的冬日早晨，迪内茨从一辆停放的车里观察到，鸟类聚集在人行道上吃居民留下的食物。附近的一棵树上，一只年轻的鹰等待着，倾听着一种特定的电子声音，这种声音表明可以安全过马路。这种高音与30到90秒的红灯延长时间相关联，意味着汽车会沿着街区向后延伸得更远，形成一条密集的车龙。当车龙达到一定长度时，鹰就会发动攻击，沿着人行道低空飞行，隐藏在排队的汽车后面。然后它会迅速潜入鸟类的觅食区域，捕猎成功率异常高)”可知，该段主要详细描述了鹰如何等待特定信号、把握最佳时机发动捕猎，突出其擅长把控捕猎时机的特点。故选A项。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Critically, the hawk held off on attacks on weekends when cars didn’t line up sufficiently long to provide a visual barrier. This selectivity proved no accident: The hawk had learned to link the signal sound, traffic patterns and hunting opportunities.(关键的是，在周末，当汽车排队不够长无法提供视觉屏障时，鹰会推迟攻击。这种选择性绝非偶然：鹰已经学会了将信号声音、交通模式和捕猎机会联系起来)”可知，鹰在周末不捕猎是因为周末交通流量小，汽车无法形成足够长的队伍来为其提供捕猎所需的视觉掩护。故选C项。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The hawk doesn’t evolve urban skills anew but uses pre-existing problem-solving ability meant for forest hunts where it measures flight angles and escape paths amid branches. Its forest hunting skill translates into viewing city traffic as branches and crosswalks as tree gaps. This cross-contextual thinking — where a biological instinct (本能) is adapted to an artificial landscape — is one of the hallmarks of intelligence in the animal kingdom.(这只鹰并没有重新进化出城市生存技能，而是利用了原本用于森林捕猎的问题解决能力——在森林中，它会在树枝间测量飞行角度和逃生路径。它的森林捕猎技能转化为将城市交通视为树枝，将人行横道视为树间隙。这种跨情境思维——即生物本能适应人工环境——是动物王国智力的标志之一)”可知，鹰的跨情境思维核心是将原本具备的能力灵活应用到新的环境中，策略性地利用现有资源。故选C项。 【35题详解】推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中的“It was unfolding a novel hunting strategy that would astonish even seasoned ethologists, which was documented by University of Tennessee researcher Vladimir Dinetes in his study Street smarts: a remarkable adaptation in a city-wintering raptor (猛禽).(它正在展现一种全新的捕猎策略，即便是经验丰富的动物行为学家也会为之惊叹，田纳西大学研究员弗拉基米尔·迪内茨在他的研究《街头智慧：一种冬季在城市生活的猛禽的非凡适应能力》中记录了这一现象)”，第二段详细描述研究观察到的具体事实，以及后文围绕该研究发现展开的分析可知，文章主要通过呈现迪内茨的研究及相关事实来阐述鹰的城市适应行为。故选B项。 30 山东省淄博市2026届高三1月摸底质量检测（期末） C篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了肠道细菌与大脑情绪之间存在联系。 【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Resea$ 2026届高三英语上学期期末模拟卷/一模合集 阅读理解CD篇 36套目录 01 安徽省合肥市第一中学2026届高三上学期1月考试 02 福建省六地市2026届高三毕业班1月第一次模拟测试测 03 福建省泉州市2026届普通高中毕业班质量检测（二） 04 广东省大湾区2026届普通高中毕业年级联合模拟考试（一） 05 广东省佛山市2026届高三普通高中教学质量检测(一) 06 广西南宁市2026届普通高中毕业班第一次适应性测试 07 河北省衡水市2026届高三上学期1月期末考试 08 湖北省黄冈市2026届高三上学期期末考试 09 湖北省武汉市武昌区2026届高三期末质量检测 10 湖北省襄阳市2026届高三上学期期末考试 11 湖南省长沙市2026届高三模拟考试（期末） 12 江苏省常州市2026届高三年级第一学期期末质量调研 13 江苏省南京市、盐城市2026届高三第一次模拟考试 14 江苏省南通市、泰州市、镇江市 2026 届高三学业质量监测 15 江苏省南通市2026届高三新高考基地学校第一次大联考 16 江苏省苏北四市（徐连淮宿）2026届高三第一次调研测试（一模） 17 江苏省苏州市2026届高三第一学期学业质量阳光指标调研（零模） 18 江苏省无锡市2026届秋学期高三期终教学质量调研 19 江苏省扬州市2026届高三第一学期期末考试 20 江苏省镇江市2026届高三上学期零模 21 江西省五市十校协作体2026届高三1月阶段性作业暨期末考试 22 江西省宜春市2026届高三上学期期末考试 23 辽宁省2026届高三五校联考1月期末考试 24 辽宁省大连市2026届高三上学期期末双基模拟考试 25 山东省德州市2026届高三期末调研测试 26 山东省济南市2026届高三第一次模拟考试 27 山东省青岛市部分学校2026届高三上学期1月期末调研 28 山东省泰安市2026届高三上学期2月一轮检测 29 山东省烟台市2026届高三上学期期末学业质量水平诊断 30 山东省淄博市2026届高三1月摸底质量检测（期末） 31 山西省太原市2026届高三第一学期期末学业诊断 32 陕西山西青海宁夏等四省联考2026届高三上学期1月期末联考 33 四川省绵阳市2026届高三第二次诊断性考试（二模） 34 云南省昆明市2026届高三摸底诊断测试 35 重庆市2026届高三第一次联合诊断检测（康德卷） 36 重庆市巴蜀中学2026届高三1月适应性月考(六) 2026届高三英语上学期期末模拟卷/一模合集 阅读理解CD篇 36套72篇目录 01 安徽省合肥市第一中学2026届高三上学期1月考试 C On 15th June 1996, a huge bomb in Manchester, in the north-west of England, destroyed the city centre, causing nearly a billion pounds’ worth of damage. The bomb, which had been planted by a terrorist group called the IRA, injured over 200 people but remarkably killed no one as police had evacuated the area following a warning from the IRA. Manchester had already undergone some changes as it recovered from the economic depression of the early 1990s that had destroyed much of its industry and created large-scale unemployment. It had won the right to host the Commonwealth Games (a large sporting event) and redeveloped some deserted areas through the building of the National Velodrome, an exhibition centre and an award-winning concert hall. However, at the time of the bombing, the city centre was still badly neglected — dominated by the Arndale Shopping Centre (once described as looking like an enormous public toilet) and squares that were run-down and affected by drug addiction. So, dreadful though the bombing was, it actually provided an opportunity to start again that might not have happened otherwise. Within weeks of the explosion, the government had set up a public-private company to manage the recovery and launched an international competition to design the redevelopment. The winning plan involved restoring the historic buildings that had been damaged, tearing down and rebuilding some of the ugly buildings, creating new public spaces and improving life for pedestrians. Alongside this, the government reduced traffic in the centre by changing the direction of some main roads and developed an integrated public transport system, making access to the centre easier. Since these improvements, the city has attempted to boost tourism by using some of the city’s historical sites for major public events and by creating the Urbis building, which now houses the National Museum of Football. In turn, these changes have been key in attracting new investors, such as the Qatari royal family who own Manchester City Football Club. Since 1996, the Manchester economy has grown in all areas. However, there are some concerns that inequality has also increased. Nor are all the new spaces appreciated. One new garden square designed by an international architect was rated as the worst attraction in the city. Others argue that in changing market stalls and industry for luxury consumption and glass buildings, the city has lost some of its soul. 28. What does the word “evacuate” (paragraph 1)most probably mean? A. Looking for something in a place. B. Estimate the losses in a ruined place. C. Remove people from a place of danger. D. Determine a numerical value of a place. 29. What does the writer say about the 1996 IRA bombing? A. It presented an unexpected opportunity for Manchester. B. It destroyed the city centre that used to be busy and crowded. C. It resulted in a lot of people getting hurt or killed in Manchester. D. It cost Manchester its chance to host the Commonwealth Games. 30. What did Manchester do for its recovery? A. It set up Manchester City Football Club. B. It organised an international competition to attract new investors. C. It tore down some historical sites to make room for public events. D. It developed a public traffic system to make the city center more accessible. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. Damage Manchester suffered due to the IRA bombing. B. The IRA bombing in Manchester and its consequences. C. Challenges related to the redevelopment of Manchester. D. The long-term effects of the changes made in Manchester. D Science is always seen as hard-core and hard to understand. But could you imagine hundreds of people being attracted by the cover of a science magazine? The achievement was completed after Wang Yixi and his team made the cover of an October issue of Structure, a US-based Cell Press journal. The cover shows a Chinese ink painting that vividly shows the process in which a special enzyme (酶) involved in the biosynthesis (生物合成) of an important organic compound is activated―the latest breakthrough by a Chinese scientific research team. Another one of his popular works that carries distinctive Chinese elements is a composite image, describing a scientist as the folk goddess Nyuwa, carrying her newly discovered compound to fill a crack in the sky. While studying chemistry at university, Wang Yixi often came across an experimental preparation process that he had to explain, but the amount of text was too large and abstract. A she had been interested in drawing, and related software like Photoshop, he decided to turn his graphics into a fine art. He went on to study 3D graphics software in order to better display the microscopic structures in his field and improve the presentation of his papers. It didn’t take long before his classmates and professors noticed his talents and asked him to help them with their papers. By word of mouth, more people beat a path to Wang’s door and were willing to pay for his service. Over the past four years, Wang and his team have come up with more than 10,000 visual works for academic papers across a variety of fields, many of which have made their way to the world’s top academic journals, including Nature, Science and Cell. “Every scientific paper is innovative, and graphics are an essential part of scientific papers,” Wang says, adding that what he tries to achieve is an explanation of models or methods, to showcase experimental results, visually process data or compare differences among experiments. 32. What play a special role in Wang’s works? A. Fairytales. B. Chinese elements. C. Rich colors. D. Complex structures. 33. What can we learn about Wang Yixi from paragraph 3? A. He preferred painting to Chemistry. B. He developed useful mapping software. C. He had an active mind to solve problem. D. He had trouble conducting his experiment. 34. How does Wang make abstract papers easily understood? A. By visualizing them vividly. B. By showing them accurately. C. By explaining them in detail. D. By constructing them uniquely 35. Which is the best title for the text? A. The power of art B. Dilemmas of science C. Mysteries of Chemistry D. Inspiration from science 02 福建省六地市2026届高三毕业班1月第一次模拟测试测 C From taking quick shots for social media with a smartphone to patiently waiting for the perfect street moment with a film camera, photography has become part of everyday life. However, there is a common misunderstanding that mobile photography, compared to film photography, reduces creation to a shallow form of photographic note-taking rather than true art. This belief misses a core fact: these two media represent different ways of seeing and creating. Psychology research offers insights into this. Professor Robert Epstein from Harvard University’s Visual Cognition Lab notes, “When we take photos with a phone, our brain is in a ‘rapid capture’ mode; whereas with a film camera, it enters a ‘deliberate composition’ state.” Functional MRI (核磁共振) studies have shown that when using a smartphone, areas of the brain linked to quick decision-making are more active. In contrast, when using a film camera, the networks related to sense of beauty and precise hand control show stronger connectivity. Photography educator David Yorke explains: “With a film camera, you must think through everything before taking the picture — composition, exposure, timing. This forces you to slow down and truly learn to ‘see’.” However, it does not mean that mobile photography cannot produce true art. An experiment in a journal of visual research found that mobile users take an average of 15 times more photos per day than film users. This frequent practice enhances their ability to capture fleeting (转瞬即逝的) moments. Documentary photographer Marina Chen shares this view: “Smartphones have made photography accessible to everyone. Sometimes, the energy in these moments is more valuable than carefully arranged shots.” A truly mature photographer understands that artistic vision requires both: the quick response to the present and the discipline to compose with care. Mobile photography and film photography do not replace each other. Together, they enrich our visual expression and expand our capacity to see the world with clarity and imagination. 28. What is a common misunderstanding about mobile photography? A. It lacks artistic depth. B. It departs from daily life. C. It misses digital creativity. D. It blocks factual recording. 29. What can we learn about film and mobile photography from paragraph 2? A. They need professional insight. B. They depend on instant capture. C. They involve distinct mental processes. D. They reflect different controlling behaviors. 30. What ability does film photography develop according to David Yorke? A. Visual sensitivity. B. Mindful observation. C. Decisive response. D. Emotional engagement. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. The Brain Science Behind Photography B. Beyond the Shallow, Reclaiming the Art C. A Scientific Guide to Better Photography D. Two Modes of Imaging, One Art of Creating D Dogs have been a part of human society for over 20,000 years. Whereas they first served people by supporting hunters, it did not take long before they became part of the home. Companion dogs might not help secure food, but for years evidence has mounted that they help diminish anxiety and improve sociality. Research led by Kikusui Takefumi at Azabu University, published recently in iScience, explains what might be going on. It reveals that the microbes (微生物)found in the guts (肠道)of dog owners are apparently different from those who do not own dogs and that this is, at least partially, responsible for the behavioral differences. The brain does not exist on its own. The microbes found elsewhere, particularly in the gut, produce chemical compounds (化合物)that influence how the brain works. With this in mind, Dr Kikusui wondered if microbe transfer from dogs might be helping bring psychological benefits to owners. Keen to find out, he set up an experiment with 343 participants in Tokyo, focusing specifically on teenagers, as adolescence is a crucial period of brain development when social interactions often have lasting mental effects. He and his colleagues therefore psychologically analysed 96 teens who were dog owners and 247 teens who were not. As expected, dog owners suffered from fewer social problems. The next step would have been to introduce dog-associated microbes directly into the bodies of non-dog-owning teenagers. Since that is an ethically grey area, Dr Kikusui worked instead with mice. After six weeks, mice carrying microbes from dog-owning teens spent longer approaching unfamiliar mice and showed greater concern for troubled cage-mates. Dr Kikusui admits that making direct comparisons between mice and humans is far from perfect, but his findings nonetheless indicate that the microbiotic changes brought about by dog ownership influence the brain. If the conclusions hold, it seems that the path to a healthier mind may begin not with careful self-reflection, but with the companionship of dogs. 32. What does the underlined word “diminish” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Overcome. B. Replace. C. Balance. D. Reduce. 33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The differences between teenage dog owners and non-owners. B. The design and participant selection of the experiment. C. The biological basis and motivation for the research. D. The role of gut microbes in shaping brain activity. 34. Why did the researchers conduct experiments on mice? A. Dog owners show fewer social problems. B. Teenagers were more difficult to study directly. C. Human experiments may raise ethical concerns. D. Mice can behave more actively in group interaction. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Mouse-human comparisons may have limits in brain research. B. Spending time with dogs may contribute to mental well-being. C. Developing a healthy mind depends on careful self-reflection. D. Psychological health requires changes in biological systems. 03 福建省泉州市2026届普通高中毕业班质量检测（二） C I have always been a person that needed to have the time to explore or experience something before I could make personal meaning. I often found that without first-hand experiences, I would soon forget. And nature always helped me remember and make connections to other concepts and ideas. Confucius’ saying “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” became clear to me through Dr. Bill Belzer. At the camp, he led us city kids — raised amid concrete, blacktop and little green space — on adventures. Every morning he would offer a stream hike, mud hike, or nature study of some sort. At first, I held back from joining him. However, when I saw the other campers returning from their outings happy and excited, I went to nature study because it seemed fun, and it was! Every time I went to Belzer’s nature study, everyone was observing, touching, listening, so was our leader. With each discovery we made on the walk, new things would come to light, inspiring unexpected connections. Occasionally Bill would come over and say, “What do you see?” It was not planned, it was spontaneous (自发的) and we were attracted to this kind of play and exploration. With this in the mind, I took the leap into this kind of learning by organising a stream stroll at the university where I taught. Each undergraduate was assigned a group of about four or five first-grade children. And with a splash, we were all explorers. The undergraduates initially tried to guide the children to see specific things, but later found that the children had their own exploration directions, so they turned to follow the children’s rhythm and were shocked by this unplanned exploration. Learning about nature and our earth, to make a personal connection, must be through involvement in something over time. That’s the proof: a lasting connection to nature and learning is formed not in classrooms, but in doing. 28. How did the author initially feel about joining Dr. Belzer’s nature study? A. Cautious. B. Hesitant. C. Prepared. D. Curious. 29. Why does the author mention Dr. Bill Belzer’s camp? A. To recall a memorable childhood adventure. B. To prove city kids lack exposure to nature. C. To demonstrate learning through direct experience. D. To present the figure of Dr. Bill Belzer. 30. What happened when the undergraduates freed the children? A. The kids’ self-directed discoveries amazed them. B. The undergraduates took over the role of guiding. C. The children lost interest without clear direction. D. The activity became chaotic and unproductive. 31. What is the author’s main argument in the text? A. Teachers should receive training in outdoor education. B. Lasting learning comes from personal involvement in doing. C. Unplanned exploration is the best way for children to learn. D. Nature study is more effective than classroom instruction. D On a laboratory bench in Cambridge, Massachusetts, polished round blocks of black concrete sit bathed in liquid and wrapped in wires. Damian Stefaniuk presses a switch — the blocks, wired to an LED, make the bulb come to life. This success promises a new future for energy storage. Renewable energy like solar and wind is not always available, requiring batteries for storage. However, lithium (锂) batteries face shortages and can produce poisonous chemicals, driving the search for alternatives. This is where Stefaniuk’s concrete comes in: he and colleagues create supercapacitors from water, cement (水泥), and carbon black. The supercapacitor’s core lies in carbon black’s high ability to conduct electricity. Mixed with cement and water, it forms concrete with conductive networks. Supercapacitors are highly efficient at storing energy but differ from batteries in some ways. They can charge much more quickly and their energy storage density is enough to power a 10-watt LED bulb for 30 hours. However, supercapacitors also release stored power rapidly, making them less useful in devices such as mobile phones, laptops, or electric cars that require a steady supply of energy. One application of supercapacitors is to create roads that store solar energy and then release it to recharge electric cars wirelessly as they drive along a road. The rapid release of energy from the supercapacitor would allow vehicles to get a rapid boost to their batteries. Another would be as energy-storing foundations of houses — 30 to 40 cubic meters meets a household’s daily needs; Stefaniuk notes: “Walls, foundations or columns can support structures and store energy.” While reducing lithium reliance, carbon-cement supercapacitors have environmental impacts: cement production is responsible for 5-8% of global carbon dioxide emissions, and the carbon-cement needed would need to be freshly made rather than added to and used in existing structures. But there may be a way of overcoming the problem, adds Michael Short, who leads the Centre for Sustainable Engineering at Teesside University. His colleagues are already working on low-emissions cement that is made from the by-products of the steel and chemical industries. 32. What is a primary purpose of Stefaniuk and his colleagues’ research? A. To develop new applications of concrete. B. To introduce a material for lithium batteries. C. To study the properties of cement mixture. D. To create a new approach for energy storage. 33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The growing adoption of renewable energy. B. The process of making a new storage device. C. The problems with current lithium battery technology. D. The reasons for developing carbon-cement supercapacitors. 34. What is an application for supercapacitors? A. Powering home appliances continuously. B. Wirelessly charging electric vehicles on roads. C. Serving as the main battery for mobile phones. D. Replacing all traditional building foundations. 35. What does Short’s current research focus on? A. Reducing reliance on carbon-cement. B. Upgrading existing structures. C. Tackling high carbon footprint. D. Simplifying low-cost ingredients. 04 广东省大湾区2026届普通高中毕业年级联合模拟考试（一） C Colorful songbirds known as honeycreepers were once common in Hawaii. However, these native creatures are now struggling to survive because of avian malaria, a deadly disease spread by invasive (侵袭的) mosquitoes. Of the more than 50 species that once lived throughout the islands, just 17 remain today. Now, scientists have come up with a clever plan to help the birds. They are using drones to drop thousands of lab-grown, non-biting male mosquitoes engineered to carry a type of bacteria called Wolbachia that acts as mosquito birth control. When these special males mate with wild females, the resulting eggs will not hatch, which should reduce the overall mosquito population and give the birds a much-needed break. Since the “Birds, Not Mosquitoes” (BNM) project was started in 2023, over 40 million such mosquitoes have been released. Most of the mosquito drops have been made from helicopters. But recently, scientists began experimenting with eight-foot-long drones. A drone can’t carry as many mosquitoes as a helicopter can — just 23,000 compared to 250,000 — but it’s safer, because it doesn’t require any humans to be on board. Drones are also easier to arrange at a moment’s notice, which is a major benefit in an area with often unpredictable weather. The mosquitoes are being dropped inside small capsules. Each capsule contains roughly 1,000 males, which are kept alive inside a temperature-controlled transport box attached to the drone. Once released, they “fall to the forest floor where they provide protection to the mosquitoes until they’re ready to fly away,” says Adam Knox, a drone pilot involved in the project. “The capsules then begin to break down once exposed to wind and rain,” he adds. This technique, previously used against human diseases, marks its first wildlife-saving application. With climate change pushing mosquitoes to higher altitudes — the last shelter for honeycreepers, time is running out. Several of the remaining honeycreeper species are highly endangered. Some die after a single bite from an infected mosquito. Thus, curbing the mosquito population with methods like the BNM project may be the birds’ only chance to survive. 8. What can be learnt about honeycreepers from paragraph 1? A. They spread avian malaria to mosquitoes. B. A mosquito-borne disease threatens them. C. Thirty-three species of them have died out. D. They are losing habitats to native creatures. 9. What led to the shift to a new carrier in the project? A. Its success in previous similar projects. B. Its expanded carrying capacity and range. C. Its superior operational safety and flexibility. D. Its adaptability to various weather conditions. 10. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. How to protect mosquitoes from diseases. B. How to deliver the lab-grown mosquitoes. C. How to lessen the project’s impact on nature. D. How to control the temperature of containers. 11. What does the underlined word “curbing” in the last paragraph mean? A. Wiping out. B. Keeping track of. C. Coexisting with. D. Keeping under control. D Earth’s biggest problem, according to Douglas Adams, is quite simple: the species of clever ape (猿) that thinks it runs the joint is mostly unhappy most of the time. Computer scientist Cal Newport now adds email to the list of life’s troubles. In his book A World Without Email, he argues this once-brilliant invention has made us suffer. Newport says we’ve become slaves to email trapped in a “hyperactive hive mind” — the reality in which everyone, everywhere, can communicate with everyone else with ease. Studies have shown how dominant email has become in ordinary office life. The average knowledge worker sends and receives 126 emails daily, which ruins focus, making them less productive and more irritable (易怒的). All of this might be bearable but for one problem: the mismatch between modern electronic messaging and our own information-processing capacity. Multitasking is a myth. We can’t think clearly while dealing with an overflowing inbox. We’re wired to prefer real-time conversations, where everyone gets updates together. Back in small tribes (部落), we needed daily chats to feel connected. Now, in a digital world, that ancient urge makes us anxious if we don’t reply to every email instantly. Despite his book’s title, Newport isn’t against all electronic messaging. What drives him to desperation is how we use it. With office workers nodding in hearty agreement, Newport offers some solutions. A German company invented the No Email Day. Productivity went up, even though it shortened the work time. The goal was for everyone to approach their work more deliberately without rushing. Some companies use an application called Trello to allow workers to access the necessary data and decide when to jump in and get things done. Handling email when it’s out of control is like being pecked (啄) by a flock of geese. But changing this won’t be easy. Our need for focused thinking conflicts with the Dopamine Economy — something designed to keep us unable to resist constant messages. Still, Newport thinks regaining control of our time might be the key to being happier at work. 12. What phenomenon does Newport point out in his book? A. Office workers fail to handle daily emails. B. People can contact each other more easily. C. Convenience of modern life comes at a cost. D. Email overload affects efficiency and mood. 13. How does the author develop paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By presenting the history. C. By analyzing the cause. D. By comparing preferences. 14. What does Newport try to illustrate by mentioning the practices of some companies? A. The importance of autonomy at work. B. The necessity to cut working hours. C. The benefit of technological advances. D. The need to follow economic trend. 15. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. Message Overflow B. Email Slavery C. Message Addiction D. Email Craze 05 广东省佛山市2026届高三普通高中教学质量检测(一) C On a typical sunny day at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), small native bushes (灌木) wave where tidy grasslands used to be, bees fly over flowers, and students walk on a campus alive with biodiversity. The new scenery marks a major milestone in campus sustainability. In 2025, UCLA became the first university in California to earn the Green Grounds Certification from the nonprofit Re: wild Your Campus, which recognizes the school’s efforts to improve human health and biodiversity. For years, colleges have used rewilding as a way to restore biodiversity and bring a more natural look to their grounds with native plants. But too often, they miss a critical piece of the puzzle: the chemicals being used elsewhere on campus. While wildflowers bring buzzing bees, true ecological restoration is weakened if pesticides (农药) and fertilizers are used. This is why Re: wild Your Campus created the Green Grounds Certification-to center both chemical elimination and rewilding and to link them together. Schools that are taking such a holistic approach to campus management can be honored and uplifted. Adopting a holistic approach to land care does more than just create healthier campus environments; it reinforces the reality that colleges are interconnected microcosms (缩影) of larger environmental systems. In many cities, universities offer some of the largest areas of open space, yet the chemicals applied to grasslands can impact nearby rivers, lakes, and drinking water. Students and all the teaching staff are increasingly recognizing this, leading to more advocacy for introducing native species and stopping using harmful pesticides. Beyond environmental health, a rewilding approach can help safeguard human health. Students are closely connected to the outdoor settings of their colleges where pesticides can stay in the air, settle on picnic tables, and be tracked into dorm rooms. Through a holistic approach, institutions can ensure that the grounds students walk on daily are free from poisonous substances, for the health of all. And that’s exactly what some schools like UCLA are doing. Their leadership shows that sustainability means finding new ways to care for the land responsibly-for people and for the planet. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A. By discussing students’ activities. B. By describing a changed landscape. C. By showing students’ love for nature. D. By highlighting the function of plants. 9. What can we know about the holistic approach? A. It was initiated by UCLA. B. It avoids using pesticides. C. It focuses on students’ welfare. D. It is intended to connect schools. 10. Why does the author mention “picnic tables” in paragraph 6? A. To promote a healthy lifestyle. B. To suggest safety improvements. C. To discourage outdoor activities. D. To stress health risks to students. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Native Plants: Key to Preventing Pollution. B. UCLA’s Holistic Plan: For Safer Classrooms. C. The Holistic Method: Toward Sustainable Campuses. D. Sustainability Through Trees: For Greener Campuses. D For decades “Monday blues” has been a term for the collective groan (叹息) that greets the start of each workweek. Mondays come with higher rates of anxiety, stress and even suicide compared with other days. The stress and anxiety experienced on Monday seems to ease as the week unfolds. But is the stress and anxiety biologically distinct? Furthermore, could the fleeting changes in mood leave a mark on people’s body even after they stop working? To answer these questions, Professor Tarani Chandola from HKU, looked into the phenomenon, focusing on the stress hormone cortisol (皮质醇). When we experience a stressor, the brain activates the release of cortisol, which helps us to manage short-term stress. But constant high levels of cortisol disturb the brain and bodily systems, increasing the risk of anxiety, depression, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. Chandola studied 3,511 participants aged 50 and older in England, and the results were striking. Older adults who reported feeling anxious on Mondays had, on average, 23 percent higher levels of cortisol up to two months later, compared with those who felt anxious on other days. And the effect was not limited to those still working; retirees who felt anxious on Mondays also showed higher cortisol. Why might Mondays, in particular, have a powerful effect on the body? One possibility is that the shift from the weekend to the high demands of the week is essentially stressful. Also, some people become anxious on Mondays so routinely that it becomes an automatic bodily response. For some people, Monday blues are constant stressors. Hospitals may need to plan for the increased risk of heart attacks and other health events on Mondays, especially among older adults. In addition, international practices like meditation, mindfulness, regular physical activity or good sleep might help people adapt to the start of the week and have long-term health benefits. Finally, researchers will need to investigate why some people are resilient (适应力强) to Monday anxiety while others are not. That question might open the door to interventions that help people start the week not just with a groan but with greater resilience. 12. What does the underlined word “fleeting” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Extreme. B. Uncommon. C. Short-lived. D. Far-reaching. 13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. To define a medical term. B. To show ways to handle stress. C. To explain how cortisol helps reduce stress. D. To reveal how stress harms health biologically. 14. What did Chandola’s study find about Monday anxiety? A. Its levels are closely related to age. B. It is a lifelong burden for some people. C. It is the primary challenge people face. D. Its effects are limited among the elderly. 15. Which is one of the author’s suggestions to address Monday blues? A. Researchers doing further studies. B. Hospitals keeping track of the old. C. Individuals seeking help from others. D. Companies reducing Monday workloads. 06 广西南宁市2026届普通高中毕业班第一次适应性测试 C “What I know, though, is this: I want to always live a life of challenge and courage in everything I do.” From the opening line of Racing Against Time, Weiss sets the tone for his audience: Anything is possible, and if done correctly, limits are simply checkpoints to cross. The author’s running journey, however, is not smooth. He deep-dives weightlifting, and achieves success. Following his father’s passing, Weiss realizes he cannot rest on his past successes and must take better care of his body to improve his performance into middle age and beyond. His transformation is really inspiring, but he describes it not just with personal stories, but also with facts and data. In doing so, he provides a practical guide for others, showing that peak performance is possible for decades, even into one’s eighties. In Weiss’s case, the author’s natural path toward endurance competitions becomes evident early on. For instance, once he has decided to dive into the triathlon (铁人三项), he not only trains his body but also his mind. This is followed by goal setting and forming a structured plan, which becomes the defining feature of his training. The results are incredible: The author completed a marathon, two 50 km runs, and two training runs of over twenty-one miles in two months, injury-free. From a stylistic perspective, what makes the author’s work engaging is his ability to be conversational and express his thoughts in a natural way that makes the readers feel they are present with him throughout the journey. Reaching the top of a challenging mountain is special in itself, but Weiss has a skill for making the process relatable in a way that inspires the audience to believe they, too, can experience a bit of that success and transformation. As the work progresses into the latter stages, the Comrades, Ironman, and MCM races all get some shine. At its core, Weiss’s work is a raw and honest discussion on the human condition and the need to squeeze everything out of life while pushing past perceived limits to live life as it’s meant to be lived — an adventure. 28. What makes Weiss’s training outcome amazing? A. His hidden talent for sports. B. His organized training system. C. His concentration on speed. D. His rich prior experience. 29. What is a feature of Weiss’s work according to Paragraph 4? A. It provides practical advice. B. It gives historical background. C. It makes readers feel included. D. It describes dramatic adventures. 30. What does the author think of Weiss’s work? A. Humorous and vivid. B. Amusing and moving. C. Complex and abstract. D. Inspiring and sincere. 31. What is the text? A. A short story. B. A news report. C. A book review. D. A research paper. D A group of Chinese researchers and clinical neurologists has made a new breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) (脑机接口) technology, enabling 10 individuals to communicate complex Chinese sentences through their thoughts alone. The technology, currently in clinical trials, offers new hope for patients with speech loss due to conditions such as stroke. Scientists from Shanghai-based startup INSIDE and Huashan Hospital implanted electrodes (电极) into participants with epilepsy (癫痫). After an average of just 100 minutes of training, their custom-built intelligent system read and interpreted brain activities associated with the intended speech of 54 Chinese characters in real time. Training on those characters then enabled the system to interpret 1,951 common words correctly and generate complete Chinese sentences in less than half a second, with virtually no length limit. “Unlike English’s basic speech sounds, Chinese involves over 400 different syllables,” explains Li Meng, INSIDE’s chief scientist. The team trained on data from the world’s largest human brainwave database built by Huashan Hospital, and the AI identified basic sounds of speech with over 83 percent accuracy, according to Li. Looking ahead, researchers envision the interpreted text allowing users to control smart environments, or even generate expressive artworks through generative AI systems. Huashan Hospital has played a key role in brain-computer interface clinical trials. In August 2024, neurosurgeons at the Hospital implanted a 256-channel flexible BCI device designed by the Shanghai-based NeuroXess into a 21-year-old female patient with epilepsy. Within 48 hours, the patient successfully engaged in table tennis and snake computer games through brain control. In June 2025, a Chinese man who had lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 13 years ago was shown playing chess and racing games using only his mind. This followed the implantation of a BCI device developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Recognizing BCI as a strategic future industry, Shanghai aims to achieve high-quality brain control and fully integrate BCI products into clinical applications by 2030. 32. What can be learned about BCI technology from Paragraph 1? A. It improves communication skills. B. It translates thoughts into sentences. C. It helps to treat stroke patients. D. It serves as a Chinese learning tool. 33. Which of the following best describes the training? A. Traditional. B. Personalized. C. Thorough. D. Efficient. 34. Why does the author mention the two examples in Paragraph 4? A. To explain the working process of BCI. B. To show the promising future of BCI. C. To describe the history of Huashan Hospital. D. To display the variety of BCI devices. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. AI: Controlling Games with Mind B. INSIDE: Building BCI Industry C. Implants: Reading Brain Signals D. BCI: Giving Voice to Thought 07 河北省衡水市2026届高三上学期1月期末考试 C As the U. S. Midwest was experiencing another heat wave, temperatures and humidity (湿热) in the region were being further fueled by “sweating” corn. If you didn’t have sweaty produce on your 2025 bingo card, you’re not alone; but “corn sweat” is a real phenomenon that adds moisture (水分) to the atmosphere and makes hot conditions even hotter and more unpleasant. It’s just one unexpected way in which human activities, from agriculture to deforestation and pollution, can have surprising effects on regional weather patterns, sometimes enhancing the impacts of climate change. Corn, like other plants, uses a process called evapotranspiration to draw water from the soil, take what it needs to function, and release the rest into the atmosphere via evaporation (蒸发). The higher the temperature, the more water corn needs, and the greater amount of water that evaporates. Just one acre of corn can release 3,000 to 4,000 gallons of moisture in a day, according to the U. S. Geological Survey. An oak (橡树) tree, by comparison, can transpire about 40,000 gallons of moisture in a year, an average of about 109 gallons per day. “Any place you have corn fields and it’s hot, you get corn sweat,” says meteorologist Dale Mohler. “In a state like Iowa, where approximately 24 million acres of land are devoted to growing corn and soybeans, it can bump the humidity on a hot day by up to 30 or 40 percent.” With climate warming comes a constant feedback circle: Warmer weather in the Midwest is also leading to more precipitation, meaning that there is more water in the soil for corn to absorb and transpire, which adds more water vapor to the air and further fuels warming. The increased humidity from corn sweat not only makes heat waves even more uncomfortable, but it can also be dangerous. “When the air is dry, you sweat and the evaporation cools you off,” says Mohler. “But that doesn’t work as well in humid conditions, because there is so much moisture in the atmosphere already. That’s why you feel that much more miserable when it’s humid as well as hot.” 28. What is the direct effect of “corn sweat”? A. Easing the heat wave. B. Increasing air humidity. C. Reducing corn production. D. Impacting human activities. 29. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning the oak tree? A. To describe oak’s low evaporating speed. B. To compare the growth of corn and oak. C. To introduce how much water corn needs. D. To highlight corn’s high moisture release. 30. What does the underlined word “precipitation” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Heat. B. Consumption. C. Energy. D. Rainfall. 31. Why does humidity make people uncomfortable? A. It adds moisture to the soil. B. It causes people to sweat more. C. It is bad for sweating. D. It raises body temperature. D Until recently, when scientists studied cells from people and animals, they often had to examine large samples, producing an average of results from many kinds of cells. The process was like trying to learn about bananas by studying a smoothie — a drink made from different types of fruit. In recent years, scientists have developed methods that let them directly study the activity of cells and the genetic structure of individual cells. Single-cell analysis is the term for a group of techniques that scientists have developed for isolating or separating cells from living organisms. Scientists can study genetic material in each cell and learn about the relationships between cells. The result, notes the journal Science, is that researchers can follow the development of people and other organisms in incredible detail. Francis Collins, who is the former director of the National Institutes of Health, recently noted the importance of such techniques for understanding human beings. “Single-cell analysis is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of our biology and health,” he said. Jonathan Weissman is a stem cell biologist at the University of California San Francisco. He notes that single-cell analysis lets scientists ask much more detailed, exacting questions than they could in the past. “It’s like a flight recorder, where you are watching what went wrong and not just looking at a snapshot at the end,” he said. “We can ask questions at a resolution that was just not possible before.” Nicholas Navin is a professor from the MD Anderson Cancer Center. He uses single-cell DNA studies to discover patterns of mutations in cells of a cancerous tumor. These studies let Navin recreate when and where those mutations appeared as the tumor developed. That information helps him identify cells that contain combinations of mutations that make them the deadliest. “In the future, such research could be used to help identify what treatments to use for certain patients,” Navin said. The research might also help doctors follow how well their treatments are working against a cancer over time. 32. What was the shortcoming of the previous way to study cells? A. Generating a set of identical results. B. Failing to research individual cells accurately. C. Requiring scientists to study bananas directly. D. Focusing on separating cells from living organisms... 33. What can we learn about single-cell analysis from paragraph 2? A. It allows learning about creatures’ relationships. B.

There are many challenges of the new techniques. D. The new techniques have great application potential. 35. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Previous Research into Human Cells B. A Major Breakthrough in Cancer Research C. Single-Cell Analysis: A Biological Revolution D. Genetic Material: A Global Research Project 08 湖北省黄冈市2026届高三上学期期末考试 C We know that some animals live longer than others, but we do not yet fully understand why. Researchers have previously identified brain size and metabolic（新陈代谢）rates as factors that can vary lifespan, but now evolutionary researchers from the UK’s University of Bath have found another factor, and it’s one that could be key to understanding why cats tend to live longer than dogs. “Our study reveals the surprising role played by the immune system—not just in fighting disease, but also in supporting longevity across a wide range of mammals,” says Benjamin from the University of Bath’s Centre for Evolution. The research does not dismiss the other reasons, rather suggesting longevity is a combination of factors. The researchers investigated the maximum lifespan of 46 different mammalian species, comparing the animals’ genes. The team studied dolphins, which can live for up to 39 years, and other whales that live for up to 100 years, but they also looked into smaller animals such as mice, which typically live for only one to two years. The results showed that certain small animals live longer than expected, such as naked mole rats, which can live 20 years despite a small size and brain. The species that live the longest had more genes associated with their immune system, according to the researchers; the team believes that a strong immune system acts to eliminate damaged cells, while also fighting infections and preventing disease. Cats are gifted with a strong natural immunity through a diverse set of immune-related genes, whereas the selective breeding of dogs has left some breeds with inherited immune deficiencies（缺陷）. The researchers now intend to look deeper into significant differences in the lifespans of different mammals by investigating specific genes that relate to cancer and other life-shortening diseases. 28. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept. C. By comparing findings. D. By providing statistics. 29. What did the University of Bath researchers focus on? A. Daily eating habits. B. Living environments. C. Genetic characteristics. D. Reproductive patterns 30. Why does the author mention naked mole rats? A. To compare their lifespan with that of mice. B. To explain why small animals live shorter lives. C. To show naked mole rats have the longest lifespan. D. To prove size and brain size don't determine lifespan. 31. What is the researchers’ next plan? A. To study the immune system of cats and dogs. B. To explore genes associated with severe diseases. C. To confirm the role of metabolic rates in lifespan. D. To investigate the effect of breeding on immunity D For the first time ever, a powerful laser（激光）beam from Earth has reportedly hit a target deep in space. It could be the key to lightning-fast space communication in the future. Imagine trying to aim at something a distance of a strand（股）of hair from a distance of 10km. That's roughly equivalent to what Chinese researchers have achieved, using a laser in space to target a distant satellite orbiting the Moon. Aerospace engineers of the Beijing-based Academy of Sciences have struck a satellite with an infrared（红外）laser in broad daylight and across a distance of 130,000 km. The powerful laser beam hit a reflector on Tiandu-1, a Chinese lunar navigation and communications test satellite, which was launched in March 2024. The signal was returned to Earth in less than a second, captured by a telescope in Yunnan in South-Western China. It is the first time ever that engineers have managed to accurately locate and measure a satellite so far away and to do so in daylight, when sunlight usually interferes with measurements. In similar earlier efforts, researchers had been able to collect data for only short periods of time. But by demonstrating that the technology also works in sunlight, the researchers have now shown that the method could enable much more frequent and accurate measurements in space. The method could also be used to revolutionize communications in space. Currently we use radio waves to send messages to places such as Mars, but lasers could send greatly increased quantities of data in the same time. The technology could pave the way for lightning-fast contact with future bases on the Moon—and perhaps one day on Mars. Stable laser links in space can reportedly send data to and from Earth up to 100 times faster than can radio waves, perhaps an important boost to communication with future astronauts on the Moon and Mars. 32. What did the Chinese researchers successfully make the laser beam reach? A. A lunar base under construction. B. A Mars exploration spacecraft. C. A reflective device on a test satellite. D. A ground telescope in Yunnan. 33. What makes the Chinese engineers’ achievement particularly remarkable? A. Locating a so-distant satellite precisely in daylight. B. Launching a Moon-orbiting satellite 130,000 km away. C. Getting the signal returned to Earth in a second. D. Using an infrared laser for the first time successfully. 34. What can be inferred about radio waves in space communication? A. They are unable to reach Mars from Earth. B. They will soon be replaced by laser technology. C. They have lower data transmission capacity than lasers. D. They are more easily interfered with by sunlight than lasers. 35. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Historic Laser Strike: Targeting the Moon B. Tiandu-1 Satellite: Bridging Earth and the Moon C. Radio Waves: The Future of Space Communication D.

B Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH). “Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.” There was one house in particular where I was turned down that evening. Through the porch windows I saw a man eating a big meat pie. I stood in the open door, and while he talked with me, he went on eating. Without looking up, he snapped out, “I don’t believe you want to work.” I hadn’t mentioned work. I wanted to talk about “food”. In fact, I didn’t want to work. I wanted to take the westbound overland train that night. “You wouldn’t work if you had a chance,” he bullied. I glanced at his gentle-faced wife, and knew that but for this Cerberus I’d have a slice of that meat pie. So I sighed to myself and played his game. “Of course I want work,” I bluffed(唬弄). “All right,” he said. “Come to the corner of—and—tomorrow morning. Beside that burned building, work tossing bricks.” “All right, sir, I’ll be there.” He returned to the pie. I waited. After a couple of minutes he looked up with an I-thought-you-were-gone expression on his face, and demanded: “Well?” “I… I am waiting for something to eat,” I said gently. “I knew it! If I gave you something to eat now, I’d never see you again. Look at me. I owe no man. I have never asked anyone for food. I have always earned my food. You are idle’ and lazy. I can see it in your face. I have worked and been honest. I have made myself what I am. And you can do the same, if you work and are honest.” “Like you?” I asked. “Yes, like me.” “All of us?” “Yes, all of you.” “But if we all became like you,” I said, “there’d be nobody to toss bricks for you.” There was a flicker of a smile in his wife’s eye. As for him, he was horrified — but whether at the awful possibility that nobody would toss bricks for him or at my rudeness, I shall never know. 24. What does the underlined word “Cerberus” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. The westbound overland train. B. The narrator’s hungry stomach. C. The man guarding the pie fiercely. D. The woman listening to the talk quietly. 25. Why did the narrator finally claim that he was willing to work? A. To start a game. B. To regain respect. C. To earn a train ticket. D.

By staying silent. B. By promising to work hard. C. By appealing to the man’s wife. D. By using the man’s own logic against him. 10 湖北省襄阳市2026届高三上学期期末考试 C A slow beat vibrates through a person’s body as he listens to music with headphones. Wearing a vest that creates vibrations in time with the music, the cochlear(耳蜗的) implant user sways and closes his eyes to take it all in. Later, he describes having felt immersed in the music, a rare occurrence, and says that the vibrations made the listening experience more intense. Those who have cochlear implants are not new to feeling a lack of engagement in the media on a day-to-day basis. For instance, cochlear implant users are known to have difficulty interpreting the differences in the pitch, tone, and melody of music. Although plenty of research has focused on how cochlear implant users perceive music, fewer studies have examined what emotions these users feel during their listening experience. As Turchet put, they did repeated trials on the patients, which consistently showed improved speech comprehension results. Participants of this study were divided into two groups, both of which completed the same set of surveys and audio tests before and after listening to music. The participants were tested on how well they could hear tones or understand speech in quiet and noisy conditions. Both groups listened to music samples, but only one of these groups wore the vibrating vest during listening. The vest translated the bass frequencies heard in the music into a signal that could be felt physically through vibrations created with motorized actuators（制动器）fixed in the vest, which converted the electrical signal from the digitized music into synchronized（同步的) mechanical motion. “I hope that this result, which to me seems so inspiring, brings a glimmer of hope to this category of users in some new forms of recovery therapies,” Turchet says. “These technologies lead to deeper immersion in musical experience, and also a higher level of arousal.” 28. What is the function of the vibration vest? A. To help cochlear implant users perceive music more vividly. B. To replace headphones as a new music-listening device. C. To cure the hearing loss of people with cochlear implants. D. To adjust the beat of music to match the user’s body rhythm. 29. How does the vibrating vest work according to the passage? A. It changes the pitch and melody of music to fit users’ needs. B. It shifts electrical signals from music into physical vibrations. C. It adjusts the bass frequencies of music to match users’ needs. D. It fixes motorized actuators to help users perceive the melody. 30. What is Turchet’s attitude towards the vibrating vest? A. Critical. B. Conservative. C. Promising. D. Pessimistic. 31. What may be the best title for the passage? A. Cochlear Implants: Glimmer for Hearing-Impaired People B. Vibrating Vests: Revolution from Motion to Emotion C. Vibrating Vests: Device for Hearing-Impaired People D. Cochlear Implants: Challenges in Music Perception D The battle regarding classroom tech in America is raging in other rich countries. As poorer countries race to digitize, richer countries are restricting classroom tech even as they invest in more digital infrastructure. After initially going all-in on technology, in 2023 Sweden banned digital tools for young children and now emphasizes physical textbooks, handwriting and reading. Schools in Denmark and Finland are on the same page. The reason is not just ChatGPT and the mass cheating it makes possible. Cheating is nothing new—in a study ten years ago, 87% of high-school students admitted cheating at least once the month before, and the researchers found that percentage has actually come down since—but the “magnitude of cheating is substantially different” since advanced Al arrived, says Mr. Reich of MIT. “We have a zillion interviews with high school students. Every assignment they did used generative AI. The college level is no better.” Precise studies have shown that classroom tech can help pupils learn algebra, but evidence of improved outcomes in other areas is thin. By contrast, the benefits handwriting offers for cognition are gaining new respect, even beyond the humanities. A computer science teacher at Hunter College High School recently reintroduced handwriting for coding assignments because it helps with memory as well as critical thinking. But not everyone who wants to go old-school can. All parents often can’t easily opt out of educational technology(ed-tech). Among them, it is the wealthy and educated who want less tech in the classroom. And Derek Vaillant, a professor of communication and media, says that while there is a consensus that teachers need to “get back to basics” by prioritizing original，in-person, pen-and-paper exams, large public universities are not providing resources adequate for the challenge by hiring enough teaching assistants. Administrators are “speaking out of both sides of their mouths”. The changes require rethinking the purpose of time in the classroom. At Hunter, an 11th-grade English teacher assigned five literature responses to be written by hand, each taking up a whole period. “Maybe the best thing we can do in the classroom is give young people the gift of quiet, undistracted time.” 32. What can be concluded from paragraph 1? A. Sweden is consistent in its attitude to digital tools. B. Denmark is now sparing no effort to promote ed-tech. C. America holds a controversial attitude towards ed-tech. D. Rich countries are reluctant to invest in digital equipment. 33. Which of the following statements is NOT the reason for the change? A. The scale of cheating is increasing dramatically. B. All parents are not willing to popularize ed-tech. C. Handwriting can contribute more to students’ cognition. D. Adequate assistants are employed for the original exams. 34. What does the “speaking out of both sides of their mouths” mean? A. Supportive. B. Committed. C. Inconsistent. D. Talkative. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI is reshaping American ed-tech. B. AI is accelerating a tech rejection. C. AI is being replaced by conventional classroom. D. AI is becoming a priority in American education. 11 湖南省长沙市2026届高三模拟考试（期末） C When we talk of human actions harming the environment, we often think of pollution, over use of resources or destruction of habitats. But introducing new species into areas where they don’t naturally live can also be destructive. One such invasive (入侵的) species is the zebra mussel. Zebra mussels live in fresh water and are native to the Caspian and Black Seas, which are found in between Europe and Asia. These seas are less salty than most, so a freshwater species like the zebra mussel can live there and in nearby lakes. By attaching onto ships, the mollusks(软体动物) have spread to much of Europe and North America, causing a problem for the environment and humans alike. When species are abruptly introduced to a new ecosystem, they often damage the balance of that ecosystem, and zebra mussels are no exception. They feed by phytoplankton (浮游植物) and other nutrients out of the water when they pass through their shells, and they do so with striking efficiency. This means that when zebra mussels arrive in a new area, they consume so much phytoplankton that other species that also eat the same food source struggle to get a sufficient amount of food. Since those other creatures, in turn, are a food source for still other species, zebra mussels harm everything in the lake. Zebra mussels also create problems for humans because they multiply so quickly. They often grow on objects made by humans, and groups of them can prevent these objects from functioning. For example, zebra mussels have been known to obstruct the flow of water through pipes, which can prevent communities from getting clean drinking water. They attach to these objects firmly enough that they can prove difficult and expensive to clean. Removal of zebra mussels is incredibly difficult, so only by stopping them from spreading can people limit the troubles they cause. Governments of areas affected are taking steps to prevent their spread mostly by privately-owned boats. So, boaters must clean, drain(排空), and dry their boats and motors before entering one lake or another to defend against their further spread. 28.Why does the author mention the environmental problems in the beginning? A. To introduce the topic. B. To predict the ending. C. To emphasize the effects. D. To illustrate an argument. 29.What can we learn about zebra mussels? A. They need salty water to survive. B. They only exist in Europe and Asia. C. They often break the balance of the ecosystem. D. They cat less phytoplankton than any other species. 30.What does the underlined word “obstruct” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Avoid. B. Block. C. Control. D. Direct. 31.What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The damages caused by zebra mussels. B. The difficulties zebra mussels encounter. C. The measures to stop zebra mussels spreading. D. The rapid reproduction speed of zebra mussels. D Scientists at Finland’s Aalto University have found that using artificial intelligence (AI) almost removes and reverses(逆转) the Dunning-Kruger effect, a phenomenon that people who aren’t very good at a given task are overconfident, while people with high ability tend to underestimate their skills. Their research showed that when using common chatbots to solve problems, everyone(regardless of their skill level) tended to put too much faith in the quality of the answers, with the most experienced Al users doing so the most. In the study, scientists gave 500 subjects logical reasoning tasks, with half allowed to use ChatGPT. Both groups were later quizzed on both their Al literacy and how well they thought they performed, and promised extra rewards if they assessed their own performance accurately. The reasons behind the findings are varied. Because Al users were usually satisfied with their answer after only one question or prompt(提示), accepting the answer without further checking or confirmation, they can be said to have engaged in what Robin Welsch, an Aalto University computer scientist, calls “cognitive(认知) offloading”—exploring the question with reduced reflection, and approaching it in a more “shallow” way. Such less engagement in our own reasoning means we bypass the usual feedback process of critical thinking, which reduces our ability to assess our performance accurately. Even more revealing was the fact that we all overestimate our abilities when using AI, regardless of our intelligence, with the gap between high- and low-skill users reducing. The study owed this to the fact that large language models (LLMs) help everyone perform better to some degree. Meanwhile, the Aalto team warned of several potential impacts as Al becomes more widespread. Firstly, metacognitive accuracy overall might suffer. Without reflecting on results, error checking or deeper reasoning, we risk weakening our ability to source information reliably, the scientists said in the study. What’s more, the flattening of the Dunning-Kruger Effect will mean we’ll all continue to overestimate our abilities while using AI, with the more AI-literate among us doing so even more—leading to an increased climate of miscalculated decision-making and a drop in their skills. 32. What did Aalto University researchers discover about AI chatbot use? A. Low-ability users became less confident. B. It strengthened the Dunning-Kruger Effect. C. Users generally over-trusted the chatbot’s answers. D. Only beginners often thought highly of their abilities. 33. Which aspect of the research is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The purpose. B. The process. C. The subjects. D. The findings. 34. Why do the users often overestimate their abilities? A. LLMs’ aid improves users’ task performance. B. Users often skip the process of critical thinking. C. AI tools contribute to users’ metacognitive accuracy. D. The gap between high- and low-skill AI users is bridged. 35.What will be probably talked about in the following paragraph? A. Regulations for narrowing AI users’ skill gap. B. Guidelines for sourcing information reliably. C. Methods for preventing users’ cognitive decline. D. Tips for improving the subjects’ performance. 12 江苏省常州市2026届高三年级第一学期期末质量调研 C Until recently, scientists thought animals’ mind was limited to associative memories: recollections of the relationships between experiences or events, but not the episodic memories (情景化记忆) of the experience itself. But in recent years, research conducted by Miklósi and his colleague Claudia Fugazza has shaken the idea that dogs are restricted to such Pavlovian (巴甫洛夫式的) recall. In 2016 they confirmed, by way of an experiment in which they asked dogs to imitate actions modeled by a human minutes earlier, that the dogs did remember specific elements of what they’d experienced. In follow-up experiments, dogs repeated their own actions long after they first performed them, a finding that added a self-focused layer to their episodic memories. Their thoughts didn’t just contain a mess of separate details, but were integrated together by a sense of self. As for cats, tests of whether they returned to containers where they were previously fed lend scientific support to their version of episodic memory. “Cat memory is probably very much like dog memory,” says Miklósi. Still, he notes that this kind of reminiscence (回忆) might differ from our own. Humans can reflect on their memories in natural, self-directed ways: Humans can think about the first concert they ever attended, without needing to see the ticket to remind them of it. How cats and dogs guide their own recall — if they need reminders to activate it — is a mystery. It’s also less clear how our furry companions relive their distant memories. Ours play like a movie in our mind’s eye, which fits, as contemporary humans are a visually engaged species. But cats and dogs are far more reliant on other senses, especially smell. Could their recall come together as smells rather than images? Two studies — of dogs in a dark room finding familiar objects with their noses, and of kittens recognizing their mothers by smell after years of separation — suggest as much. 28. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The differences between human memory and animal memory. B. New research methods used to test episodic memory in animals. C. The important role of smell in the memory of furry companions. D. New research findings about the memory abilities of dogs and cats. 29. What can we know from Miklósi and Fugazza’s 2016 experiment? A. Dogs can carry out Pavlovian recall effectively. B. Dogs can remember specific details of past experiences. C. Dogs need human reminders to recall their own past actions. D. Dogs’ memories are completely different from human memories. 30. What mystery do scientists still need to solve about animal memory? A. Whether cats and dogs have associative memories. B. Whether cats and dogs rely on smell to memorize. C. How cats and dogs reflect on their memories. D. How cats and dogs use reminders to relive memories. 31. What does the author mainly want to say in the last paragraph? A. Dogs have similar episodic memory to cats. B. Humans tend to relive memories through images. C. Cats and dogs most probably memorize by smell. D. It is unclear how humans memorize better than animals. D Cognitive (认知的) offloading, the act of delegating mental work to external tools, should concern anyone who values their own intelligence. When given the choice between thinking through a problem or letting technology handle it, will we choose the tool, even when we’re perfectly capable of succeeding on our own? Sam Gilbert noticed in his experiments something he calls “reminder bias.” This is the tendency to use external memory aids even when your own memory would serve you better. Participants chose to set digital reminders for tasks they could easily remember unaided. Even when offered money to encourage people to rely on their own memory, they still couldn’t overcome it. The root reason seems to be that people underestimate their own cognitive abilities. They think they’ll forget, so they set a reminder. They think they can’t solve the problem, so they ask AI. Over time, by consistently choosing the external tool, they never exercise the internal capability. If the problem were limited to memory, it might not matter much. After all, what’s the problem with setting a reminder on your phone? But research suggests the cognitive costs extend far beyond remembering appointments. Nathaniel Barr claimed that individuals who score lower on the Cognitive Reflection Test show greater smartphone dependence when obtaining information. These are people who, when faced with a problem, instinctively (本能地) reach for the quickest solution. AI hasn’t created this tendency. Humans have often preferred mental shortcuts. But AI has removed nearly all difficulties. You don’t have to go to a library or even type a search question. You just ask, and the answer appears, exactly as you need it. My concern is that people may begin using AI in ways that prevent the development of analytical skills. For a college student who consistently uses AI to work through problems I question whether they’re building the neural infrastructure (神经基础结构) to handle similar problems independently later in life. 32. What does the underlined word “delegating” most probably mean? A. Assigning. B. Comparing. C. Applying. D. Linking. 33. Why did participants in Gilbert’s experiment set unnecessary digital reminders? A. They lacked confidence in their own memory. B. They were not offered enough money. C. They were poor in cognitive abilities. D. They never exercised their internal capability. 34. The author mentions the Cognitive Reflection Test to show ______. A. people rely too much on smartphones B. AI works better than human memory C. reminder bias causes harm to more than just memory D. smartphones are the quickest solution to many problems 35. What is the best title of the article? A. Cognitive Offloading: The Cause of AI Reliance B. How External Aids Like AI Enhance Reminder Bias C. External Tools or Internal Tool, Which Causes More Harm D. Over-reliance on External AI Tools May Weaken Cognitive Abilities 13 江苏省南京市、盐城市2026届高三第一次模拟考试 C When it comes to cooling the planet, tropical forests serve as “carbon sinks-- their trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is do the opposite. The research, published in Nature, analyzed data from wet tropical rainforests in Austral which scientists had tracked for nearly 50 years. By examining woody biomass from the rainforest which typically holds a large amount of carbon, researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago. Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University. Drierair, higher temperatures and water shortages might all play a role. This is the first rainforest recorded as switching from a carbon sink to a carbon source, and Carle added the phenomenon could reflect a declining ecosystem in Australian wet -rainforests overall. “The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer. drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience other parts of the world,” said Carle. Previous research suggested that tropical rainforests increase their capacity for carbon storage in response to consistently increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. This half-century of data challenges that. Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.” 28.Which aspect of the Australian rainforest does the research focus on? A. The makeup of woody biomass. B. The effects on climate change. C. The level of carbon concentration. D. The change in carbon balance. 29. What does the shift in paragraph 3 show? A. Rising tree death rates. B. Stable weather patterns. C. Modest tropical rainfal1. D. Instant ecosystem collapse. 30. What does the underlined word “analog” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Different model. B. Sustainable system. C. Similar example. D. Historical background. 31.How does Raphael Trouve view these long-term data sets? A. They provide insights into the truth. B. They offer solutions to climate change. C. They are consistent with popular beliefs. D. They are independent of historical data. D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts (融化), leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher. “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin — a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻). After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture. Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 32. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Saving water. C. Repeated use. D. Cooling efficiency. 33. What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It stretches tomato growing cycles. B. It adopts a bacteria-free material. C. It shortens the freezing time. D. It lowers environmental impacts. 34. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The official approval is underway. B. Jelly ice needs further development. C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Other natural polymers will be available. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order C. A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution 14 江苏省南通市、泰州市、镇江市 2026 届高三学业质量监测 C As digital communication becomes the primary way many people connect, the language we use in these spaces is constantly evolving. Texting has developed its own dialect (方言), filled with abbreviations like “hru?” (how are you?). While nearly all texters use these shortcuts, the findings suggest that dashing off a swift “hru?” might not appear as genuine as taking the time to spell out: “How are you?” “While abbreviations can save time and effort, our research suggests that they may also slow down effective communication and negatively influence interpersonal perceptions,” the authors write in Journal of Experimental Psychology. The findings challenge the common assumption about texting culture. While 99% of people report using abbreviations and 84% believe others don’t mind them, the research shows that abbreviated messages consistently create negative impressions. Perhaps most tellingly, only 15.8% of participants correctly predicted this negative impact, while 80% assumed others would be indifferent to abbreviations. David Fang at Stanford University and his colleagues ran the studies to explore the impact of abbreviations in different messaging scenarios (情景). They examined over 200,000 conversations from 686 users spanning 37 countries and five continents. Researchers calculated the percentage of abbreviations participants used in their messages. They discovered a clear pattern: conversations containing more abbreviations consistently died out faster. “Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal communication by decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity and responsiveness. Ultimately, our findings highlight the importance of considering the impact of evolving language use in the digital era on the quality of interpersonal communication,” Fang and his colleagues concluded. Texting abbreviations could contribute to loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether. “We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort, like quickly texting with a delivery driver,” Fang said. “However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to strengthen social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression.” 28. What do the findings indicate about texting abbreviations? A. They make senders seem insincere. B. They have evolved over a long time. C. They reshape digital communication. D. They are a shortcut to learning dialects. 29. What do texters commonly assume about abbreviations? A. They could become trendy. B. They would not bother others. C. They could ruin communication. D. They would damage social connections. 30. Fang’s research reveals that the use of abbreviations is perceived as A. the evolution of language B. a lower effort from the sender C. an improved conversational quality D. the preference for a shorter conversation 31.What is Fang’s view on using abbreviations? A. It enhances social ties. B. It should be abandoned. C. It depends on the context. D. It can simplify the content. D Ask Google’s AI video tool to create a film of a time -travelling doctor who flies around in a blue British phone booth and the result, unsurprisingly, resembles (类似) Doctor Who. And if you ask Open AI’s technology to do the same, a similar thing happens. What’s wrong with that, you may think? The answer could be one of the biggest issues AI chiefs face as their era-defining technology becomes ever more widespread in our lives. Google and Open AI’s generative artificial intelligence is supposed to be just that--generative, meaning it develops novel answers to our questions. But how much of that output is original? The problem is working out how much Al tools like Sora 2 and Veo 3 rely on someone else’s art to come up with their own inventions. One firm, however, claims to be able to shine a light on the issue. Trace ID by Vermillio can detect the percentage lo which AI-generated content is based on copyrighted materials. One of the platform’s abilities is to create neural fingerprints for brands, characters or other IP. These fingerprints act as digital identifiers that map the unique characteristics of a given piece of content. By comparing this fingerprint against AI-generated content, it can determine how much the new content overlaps (重合) with the original offering a percentage-based match. The research showcases this process in action, using well -known films such as Doctor Who and James Bond as case studies. The findings? Sora matched up to 62% with James Bond fingerprint, Google’s Veo 3 matched 80% to Doctor Who fingerprint, implying that they have leaned heavily on copyright-protected work to produce its output. Many creative professionals demand compensation and an end to unauthorized use of their work until permissions are granted. They argue AI tools build on their work without remuneration, producing competing creations that undercut their industries. Kathleen Grace, head of Vermillio, said: “We can all win if we just take a beat and figure out a way to share and track content. This would encourage copyright holders to release more data to AI companies and would give AI companies access to more interesting sets of data. Instead of giving all the money to AI companies, there would be this amazing ecosystem.” 32. What issue is presented at the beginning of the passage? A. Generative AI reinvents film production. B. The capabilities of generative AI are expanding. C. Generative Al is becoming increasingly widespread. D. Copyrighted materials are used in AI-generated content. 33.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Who uses Trace ID. B. How Trace ID works. C. Why Trace ID is developed. D. Where Trace ID is used. 34.What does the underline word “remuneration” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Delay. B. Pay. C. Effort. D. Warning. 35. What message does Kathleen Grace want to convey? A. Limiting data hurts scientific progress. B. Copyright holders should release more data. C. A fair data-sharing ecosystem benefits all. D.AI firms must disclose copyrighted content use. 15 江苏省南通市2026届高三新高考基地学校第一次大联考 C Biologist E. O. Wilson once wrote that “ants are the most warlike of all animals”, noting that fight between ants colonies(群体)exceeded the human battles at Waterloo and Gettysburg. But sometimes ant colonies get defeated not by direct fighting, but by secrets and tricks. And the members of an ant colony can get tricked into murdering their own precious queen. “Simply taking over another colony is very efficient,” agrees Keizo Takasuka, an ecologist. He explains that scientists have observed female ants entering a foreign colony and directly choking or cutting off the head of the queen, But Takasuka recently observed a couple of ants species in the lab. They learned that female ants from these species can use a far more dishonest method of getting rid of a colony’s queen and stealing her crown. First, the female ant needs some disguise to enter the targeted colony without being detected as an outsider. Since ants mainly tell friend from enemy using chemical signals, the female ant can pick up the necessary smell by coming into contact with a few of the colony’s workers. Takasuka’s group gave the female the opportunity to do this in the lab. Then the scientists watched as a disguised female was making her way through a colony towards its queen, Once she reached the queen, the foreign ant sprayed() fluid to cover the queen in some kind of chemical, and withdrew some time later, “It might be formic acid,” says Takasuka. “That’s used by some ants for defense, or to signal danger. Whatever it was, spraying this chemical onto the queen had a dramatic effect.” Crowds of workers who had been lovingly obeying their queen, ready to lay down their lives to protect her, suddenly turned on her, attacking her violently until she was dead. In their report, the researchers call this the first documented case of a parasite(寄生) that “makes the young kill an otherwise necessary mother”, After the killing of the mother, the colony’s ants accepted the invading female as their new queen and began to serve her, protecting her and helping to raise her children. 28. What does the first paragraph intend to say? A. Ants are the most warlike animals. B. Some ants attack foreign queens directly. C. Ant battles are larger than some human battles. D. Ant workers can be cheated into killing their queen. 29.What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Stealing the queen’s position. B. Picking up the necessary smell. C. Interacting with foreign workers. D. Getting rid of the colony’s queen. 30. What happened right after the ant sprayed the queen? A. The foreign ant withdrew immediately. B. Workers accepted the foreign ant as a queen. C. Workers turned against their own queen. D. The sprayed fluid killed the queen directly. 31. What does the term “parasite” imply about the foreign ant? A. It tricks the colony into raising her young. B. It serves the colony peacefully. C. It awaits the workers reaction. D. It feeds on the host colony. D An electronic retinal implant(视网膜植入) has improved vision in people with age-related macular degeneration(AMD), Scientists have used an eye implant to improve the vision of dozens of people left functionally blind by AMD, The implant, which measures 2 millimetres by 2 millimetres, and is just 30 micrometres thick, is surgically put beneath the retina to replace the light-sensitive cells that have been lost to the disease. The implant, termed PRIMA, is wireless, unlike previous retinal devices. And being photovoltaic(光电的), the light particles that activate it also provide the energy source for generating its electrical output, It is used in combination with glasses that contain a camera that captures images and changes them into patterns of invisible light that is sent to the retinal implant, The system, which allows users to zoom in and out on target objects, and adjust contrast and brightness, does take months of intensive training to use best. In the current study, 38 individuals were treated at 17 clinical sites across 5 European countries, and 32 of the participants were tested a year after implantation, 26 of them had a clinically meaningful improvement in their vision, which, on average, meant being able to see two lines further down a standard eye test chart of letters. Overall, most participants’ vision came close to the resolution(分辨率) that PRIMA can achieve. However, a questionnaire about users’ daily quality of life revealed no significant overall improvements. They said the results would be more convincing if the improvement had been shown by comparing it with a random treatment group. And users “reading is” not fast, smooth reading”. The vision provided is also black and white, not colour. Trial leader Frank Holz acknowledges the current system has limitations, and he expects future implants to be more effective, “With this first major breakthrough, it’s a starting point for further improvement,” he says,” And where this dead retina was a complete blind spot, vision was restored, Patients could read letters and words, and they could function in their daily life.” 32. What can be known about PRlMA according to the text? A. It requires modest training for best results. B. It allows glasses to send normal images to it. C. It is both activated and powered by light particles D. It can restore normal vision by replacing lost cells 33. What can be concluded from the study? A. The implant proved instantly effective on the patients. B. The 38 participants showed improved vision a year later. C. The involved patients could see two lines on the eye chart. D. Most patients’ vision reached the best level with the device. 34. Which of the following PRlMA limitations is not clearly mentioned? A. Black-and-white vision. B. Frequent eye discomfort. C. Slow and difficult reading. D. Unconvincing vision improvement. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. PRIMA: Its Progress and Limitations B. PRIMA: How It Improves Vision C. PRIMA: A Training for AMD Blindness D. PRIMA: A New Life for AMD Patients 16 江苏省苏北四市（徐连淮宿）2026届高三第一次调研测试（一模） C For gardeners who love neatness, autumn is a bit of a mixed blessing. Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away. However, gardening and wildlife experts say this is unnecessary and even harmful. To those so inclined (有倾向的), Jon Stokes, the director of the Tree Council, shares his experience. “It’s not necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf，because I’ve never had to. They disappear within a week because the earthworms get them. The garden is completely full of wildlife and my grass has never suffered because of it,” he says, “Don’t take them away and drop them at the landfill, because you’ll have just taken all that goodness out of your garden. If you can’t bear to leave them where they are, get the kids to kick them into a corner, stick them in a pile, or let the hedgehogs(刺猬) and earthworms use them.” While gardens covered with fallen leaves may look like a mess to humans, to wildlife they are a vital source of nutrients and shelter. For an earthworm, a fallen leaf is a snack to be rolled up and pulled down into the soil. For an elephant hawk-moth caterpillar, it is a roof under which to shelter until spring. For a hedgehog, it is a bed to roll around in and turn into a nest. Even fora tree, the leafy covering is a source from which to “drink” during dry periods. Experts offer easy ways to balance neatness and nature. Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests piling leaves in dry spots for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs. Leave some leaf-covered areas for insects, but keep others tidy. If you hate rotting leaves, cut them into small pieces—worms will carry them away faster, boosting the soil microorganisms. Adrian Thomas from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds stresses keeping leaves in the garden instead of landfills. Every gardener’s small effort with leaves can help nature a lot. Leaves aren’t waste; they’re free, natural helpers for healthy plants. 28. What does “a mixed blessing” imply in paragraph 1? A. Autumn is a pleasant but sorrowful. B. Wildlife is lovely but harmful.

Balance the Balance D Sauerkraut(酸菜) has long been a bit player in the American diet, just serving as a side topping on the sandwich. But its time in the spotlight may be here. An increasing number of nutrition scientists and food companies want us to eat more fermented(发酵的) foods like yogurt, kimchi and sauerkraut. A growing body of scientific research is finding that fermented foods benefit health. When researchers at Stanford put people on a diet high in a range of fermented foods, they found their microbiomes (微生物组) became more diverse and the levels of certain inflammation (炎症) markers decreased. Maria Marco, a professor at the University of California, found in lab that sauerkraut contains more compounds that protect the lining of the gut than raw cabbage does. This could help explain the anti-inflammatory effect of fermented vegetables. The fermentation process can change the nutritional content of food by, for example, increasing the amount of some vitamins. Nutrition scientists say it can also make nutrients easier for the body to absorb. Growing concern in gut health and desire for less-processed products are driving consumers’ interest, said Stephanie Mattucci, principal strategist at market research firm Mintel. More companies are embracing fermentation, in which beneficial microbes are used to change food and drinks. To deal with the strong flavor of many fermented foods, some companies are even creating milder versions to win over more people. According to Nielsen IQ, sales of fermented foods and ingredients reached $61.17 billion in the 52 weeks ending Oct. 4, up about 27% from the comparable period four years ago. “But there’s still a lot that scientists need to learn about fermented foods,” said DaliaPerelman, a nutrition researcher and registered dietitian at Stanford. “We’re trying to figure out if some are better for you than others, if there is a best type of fermentation and what exactly it is about these foods that makes people healthy.” 32. How was Sauerkraut traditionally viewed in the Americans’ diet before? A. Rare. B. Trendy. C. Minor. D. Worthless. 33. How does the author show the benefits of fermented foods? A. By studying cases.

Much research remains to be done. B. The best version has been produced. C. Clear reasons for health benefits have been found. D. Different fermented foods have equal health benefits. 17 江苏省苏州市2026届高三第一学期学业质量阳光指标调研（零模） C For decades, computer science students have been taught a central skill: using computers to solve problems. In practice, that has meant programming or writing code to tell a machine how to perform tasks. Now, generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT can write those programs themselves, producing code in much the same way they write essays. A student can ask ChatGPT to write a program that sorts a list of numbers and get a working answer in seconds. This new capability is transforming how computer scientists get work done. Even non-programmers suddenly have the ability to create their own software tools. This may feel like a threat to some coders’ profession. It certainly marks a significant shift for computer scientists and those who educate them. The future of computer science education is to teach students how to master the skill of supervision (监管). Why? Because the speed and efficiency of using AI to write code is balanced by the reality that it often gets things wrong. These tools are designed to produce results that look convincing, but they may still contain errors. There is still a need for humans to play a role in coding—a supervisory one, in which programmers oversee the use of AI tools, determine if AI-generated code does what it is supposed to do and make repairs to faulty code. But today’s computer science education still focuses on coding as the primary activity. And worryingly, some students are using AI tools to finish their assignments without learning or understanding how the code actually works. Most education doesn’t yet emphasize the skills critical for programming supervision. New developers with less than a year’s experience can actually be less efficient with AI tools than without, because they are missing critical skills and knowledge needed to evaluate and correct what the AI produces. The rise of generative AI should sharpen our focus on what truly matters in computer science education: helping students develop the habits of mind that let them question, reason and apply judgment in a rapidly developing field. As the AI pioneer Herbert Simon once advised: “Learning results from what the student does and thinks, and only from what the student does and thinks.” 28. What can generative AI tools do in programming? A. Teach students how to code. B. Produce code without errors. C. Write programs following instructions. D. Take the place of experienced coders. 29.The author thinks computer science education should primarily develop students’ ability of___. A. supervising and correcting AI-generated code B. programming or writing code to perform tasks C. coding or decoding speedily and efficiently D. understanding and using AI tools independently 30.How does the author support his argument in paragraph 4? A. By providing statistics. B. By presenting facts. C. By clarifying a concept. D. By making a prediction. 31.What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To criticize the traditional teaching approaches. B. To urge a change in computer science education. C. To emphasize the importance of efficient learning. D. To show AI tools cannot replace human teachers. D When seeking mental health support, you are often told you shouldn’t try to change-you are perfectly imperfect. Personality has traditionally been defined as a pretty stable collection of characteristics. Indeed, you might believe you are controlled by the genetic hand when it comes to things like how agreeable you are. These ideas are nonsense. There is plenty of evidence that our personalities are more fluid (易变的) than we think, stimulating fascination with the craft of personality change to improve our lives. For example, a 2024 study found that three months of digital coaching reliably increased characterstics like emotional stability and diligence. Other characteristics provide further support for the fluidity of personality. Most people will label themselves purely as extroverts (外向) or introverts (内向). But Carl Jung, who coined these terms, said that there is no such thing as a “pure” introvert or extrovert. Some of us may be more likely to enjoy the role of chief party entertainer, while others tend to prefer quietly adapting to their surroundings, but these preferences are flexible.
