Whether it’s skipping a follow-up doctor’s appointment or refusing to read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: the “Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect,” just like the bird supposedly burying its head in the sand. Researchers at the University of Chicago set out to understand when and why this occurs. In one experiment, children aged from 5 to 10 were asked to imagine their favorite and least favorite candy. Then came the choice: Would they like to watch a video about why eating that candy was bad for their teeth? Children at the age of 5 or 6 wanted to know — good or bad, the information itself was exciting. Older children, however, hesitated. They were much less interested in hearing about the downsides of their favorite treat, though they had no problem learning why their least favorite candy was bad. So why do children transform from fearless learners into strategic avoiders? The answer lies in emotions. Information is not neutral (中立的) — it often carries consequences for how we feel. News about our health, abilities, or beliefs can trigger disappointment, anxiety, or shame. By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions. Sparing ourselves from distress can be protective, yet when avoidance becomes habitual, the costs can outweigh the benefits. At a personal level, refusing to learn important medical information can endanger health. At a societal level, avoidance may entrench political divides or rigid beliefs. When people deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and connection. At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed. 1．Which of the following shows the “Ostrich Effect”? A．A student actively seeks feedback from teachers. B．A woman turns a blind eye to her credit card bills. C．A boy refuses to attend his cousin’s birthday party. D．An employee buries himself in research and data analysis. 2．Why does the “Ostrich Effect” occur? A．It blocks out distractions. B．It keeps us from feeling bad. C．It helps us see things positively. D．It encourages independent thinking. 3．What does the underlined word “entrench” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Expose. B．Remove. C．Deepen. D．Transform. 4．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．Why Not Knowing Can Seem So Sweet B．Why Embracing Curiosity Truly Matters C．The Ostrich Effect: Comfort is the Best Option D．From Candy to Curiosity: The Evolution of Resilience Passage 2（2026·江苏·二模） Music has long been recognized for its healing powers. Today, artificial intelligence is making this ancient remedy more precise and accessible. A prime example is the AI music therapy pod, premiered by the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, which offers a personalized, science-backed healing experience. Upon entering the pod, users complete a personal questionnaire. They then recline in a chair equipped with monitoring devices such as electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets and heart rate sensors. These tools collect real-time physiological data, which is displayed on a screen. An AI model, processing this data along with the user’s personal profile, generates a unique multisensory experience. Soothing ambient music blended with natural sounds fills the space, while synchronized visuals appear on the screen. The entire process is designed to enhance attention, promote relaxation, and stabilize vital signs. The core innovation lies in AI’s data-processing power. Since the late 20th century, scientists have explored converting unique brainwaves into sound. AI accelerates this by rapidly analyzing personal trait patterns and real-time physiological indicators to create tailored soundscapes. As explained by researchers, individual responses to sound involve complex factors like memory, cultural background, and personal experience — all high-level cognitive processes. Handling such complexity requires massive data computation, a task perfectly suited for AI. The therapy pod represents a deep integration of technology and art. It is built upon years of research from the conservatory’s laboratory, which has produced numerous scientific papers. After each session, users receive a data report and a personalized “music prescription” for continued well-being. Looking ahead, developers aim to harness even more advanced computing, hoping to reach quantum-level analysis. The goal remains clear: to use AI not to replace the human element of healing, but to deepen and personalize the therapeutic power of music, making mental wellness more attainable for all. 5．What is the first step for a user experiencing the AI music therapy pod? A．Reclining in a special chair. B．Filling out a questionnaire. C．Putting on monitoring devices. D．Listening to ambient music. 6．The term “electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets” in paragraph 2 most likely refers to devices that ______. A．monitor brain activity B．measure heart rate changes C．track muscle movement D．detect skin responses 7．What can be inferred about the role of AI in the music therapy pod from the passage? A．To create entertainment music. B．To replace human therapists. C．To process data for personalization. D．To lower treatment costs. 8．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To advertise a new commercial product. B．To explain AI’s role in music therapy. C．To prove AI’s superiority over humans. D．To detail music therapy’s history. Passage 3（2026·山东·模拟预测） 16-year-old Jared Lepora from the UK has created a robotic arm that imitates the natural movements of a human hand using only ready-made Lego Mindstorms parts. He showcased this invention at the 2025 International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems in Hangzhou, China. The teenager co-authored research recently published along with colleagues including his father Nathan Lepora, a professor of robotics and artificial intelligence at the University of Bristol. Jared used Lego Mindstorms, a Lego robotics kit, to build a Lego version of SoftHand-A, a 3D-printed robot hand introduced in an earlier study. “My dad has always been working on robotics. He designs robotic systems with complicated mechanisms that have lots of real-world applications,” Jared said. “My goal was to create an educational design which shows professional mechanisms in a simple educational way understandable by children.” The design is a playful interpretation of a serious line of robotics research. It is based on the Pisa/IIT SoftHand model, a world-leading development in soft robotics that uses a single tendon (肌腱) system to coordinate finger movements. Jared adapted this concept for educational purposes, replacing the 3D-printed parts and metal bearings with standard components and over 100 plastic Lego bearings. Despite its toy origins, the Lego SoftHand performs remarkably well. Lab tests have shown that it can grip objects with about 90% of the force of a professional 3D-printed SoftHand, and perform open-close cycles in about one second. Since the hand can be constructed from Lego pieces and uses state-of-the-art design concepts for robotic hands, it has the potential to educate and inspire children to learn about the frontiers of modern robotics. “My generation and younger are the future of robotics, so it is essential that we understand and take interest in this field,” Jared says. “Building a robot hand with your own hands is a great way to learn about robotics.” 9．What can be learned about Jared from the first two paragraphs? A．He has an inquiring mind. B．He is keen on cutting-edge tech. C．He is fond of Lego bricks. D．He excels at hands-on projects. 10．What is Jared’s design like? A．Rare but mind-opening. B．User-friendly and informative. C．Complicated but well-operated. D．Cost-effective and professional. 11．What is the basis for Jared’s design? A．A novel concept of movements. B．Earlier research of Lego robotics. C．An advanced model in soft robotics. D．The availability of Lego components. 12．What message does the text mainly convey? A．Like father, like son. B．Home is the first school. C．It’s never too late to learn. D．Think outside the Lego box. Passage 4（2026·云南昆明·模拟预测） Cats seem to be succeeding at world domination; they live on every continent except Antarctica. But how, when, and where domestic cats became loved bosses of human households remains debated. Past research suggests that cats began living with humans in a region east of the Mediterranean Sea almost 10,000 years ago. This led to the assumption that domestic cats travelled from there to Europe about 6,500 years ago. Two genetic analyses now reveal new insights. In the new work, scientists initially aimed to figure out which collected ancient cat bones have sets of genetic instructions, or genomes, similar to those found in modern domestic cats, says Greger Larson, a geneticist. But the studies showing that many are from wildcats completely undermine that original guess. In the study looking at cat ancestry in Europe, researchers analysed 225 specimens and obtained 87 genomes spanning the past 11,000 years. The analysis revealed that the cats from before 200 BC were wildcats, and that their domestic cats didn’t reach Europe until about 2,000 years ago. Moreover, these feline (猫科的) friends came from North Africa, not east of the Mediterranean. The other new study traced the history of domestic cats in China. The analysis revealed that although wild leopard cats lived among humans for around 3,500 years, they were a “clear example of a ‘failed domestication (驯化)’” study co-author Shu-Jin Luo says. Further genetic analysis suggested that domestic felines came to China from the eastern Mediterranean region roughly 1,400 years ago, challenging the previous belief that the furry friends lived in China at least hundreds of years earlier. The domestic cats likely travelled with Middle Eastern merchants on the Silk Road. Leslie Lyons, a feline geneticist, says that the new work provides valuable data that will help researchers understand how cat domestication unfolded across the globe. “Cats are still mysterious, and they’re giving up their mysteries one whisker at a time,” she says. 13．What does the underlined word “undermine” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Weaken. B．Ignore. C．Support. D．Prove. 14．What is the finding of the genetic study on European cats? A．European wildcats disappeared 11,000 years ago. B．European domestic cats originated in North Africa. C．European domestic cats came from local wildcats. D．It took 2, 000 years for wildcats in Europe to be domesticated. 15．What does the study on cats in China show? A．Wildcats never lived in China. B．Domestic cats arrived in China as previously believed. C．Wildcats in China represent a failed domestication attempt. D．Wildcats were successfully transported from the Mediterranean. 16．What is the writing purpose of the passage? A．To explain why cats are popular around the world. B．To prove that cats were first domesticated in North Africa. C．To compare the domestication of cats in Europe and China. D．To introduce new research on the domestication and spread of cats. 2 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 《2026届阅读理解综合训练（人与社会第2练）》参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B B C A B A C B D B 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 答案 C D A B C D 1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍 “鸵鸟效应”，即人们刻意回避负面信息。实验显示儿童随年龄增长更易回避不利信息，原因是逃避负面情绪。该行为短期有益，但长期有害个人与社会，人们应保持好奇、增强韧性。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“In a world overflowing with information, it may seem odd that people often go out of their way not to learn something.
