2026届高三英语重点中学联考阅读专项训练九（C篇）

1.安徽A10联盟2026届高三下学期2月开学学情检测英语试题 Everyone has a natural body smell, and most of the time it is completely normal. While many people try to hide their natural smell with deodorant (除臭剂) or perfume, you usually do not smell bad unless you are sweating heavily. Still, if you suddenly notice an unpleasant smell, it may be related to the food you eat. To begin with, some vegetables can influence the way your body smells. For example, onions, garlic, leeks, and scallions are full of flavor but also rich in sulfur (硫). As the body digests them, sulfur compounds enter the blood and move through the pores, the breath, and even urine (尿液), which can create a strong smell. Still, these vegetables are very nutritious, so brushing your teeth and using deodorant afterward is often enough. Certain vegetables may change the smell of your urine. Asparagus is a good example. When the body breaks down a sulfur compound in it, the urine of some people develops a special smell. This does not happen to everyone and is completely harmless. Cruciferous vegetables — such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts — can also contribute. Eating large amounts of them may lead to body odor or gas. However, cooking them and increasing your intake slowly can help reduce these effects. Spices can also play a part. Strong spices like cumin, cayenne, and horseradish raise your body temperature and make you sweat more. As a result, your body smell may become stronger. Using deodorant and washing after sweating are simple ways to manage this. Besides these foods, red meat has been linked to a less pleasant body smell, although the exact reason remains unclear. Alcohol can have a similar effect, as it is partly released through the breath, pores, and urine during digestion. If you want to reduce body smell naturally, washing with antibacterial soap, keeping your underarm skin clean, and choosing a suitable deodorant can make a big difference. If the smell seems unusual or lasts too long, it is best to seek advice from a doctor. 28. Which foods affect body smell through sulfur compounds? A. Onions and garlic. B. Cumin and cayenne. C. Broccoli and cauliflower. D. Asparagus and horseradish. 29. What is suggested to reduce the effects of eating cruciferous vegetables? A. Stop eating them for a while. B. Drink more water after eating. C. Eat them raw in small amounts. D. Cook them and gradually eat more. 30. Why might red meat affect body smell? A. It raises body temperature fast. B. It contains strong-smelling spices. C. Scientists aren’t sure of the cause. D. It increases sweat production greatly. 31. What is the best title for this text? A. How to Hide Natural Body Smell B. Foods That Influence Body Smell C. Natural Changes in Human Body Smell D. Everyday Tips for Managing Body Smell 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍多种食物会通过不同化学物质影响人体体味，并给出减轻食物带来体味变化的相关建议。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For example, onions, garlic, leeks, and scallions are full of flavor but also rich in sulfur (硫). As the body digests them, sulfur compounds enter the blood and move through the pores, the breath, and even urine (尿液), which can create a strong smell. (例如，洋葱、大蒜、韭葱和青葱味道浓郁，但也富含硫。人体消化它们时，硫化物会进入血液，通过毛孔、呼吸甚至尿液排出，从而产生浓烈气味)”可知，洋葱和大蒜通过硫化物影响体味。故选A项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“However, cooking them and increasing your intake slowly can help reduce these effects.(但是，将它们煮熟并慢慢增加摄入量有助于减轻这些影响)”可知，减轻食用十字花科蔬菜带来的影响的建议是煮熟并逐渐多吃。故选D项。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Besides these foods, red meat has been linked to a less pleasant body smell, although the exact reason remains unclear.(除了这些食物，红肉也与不太好闻的体味有关，尽管确切原因尚不清楚)”可知，科学家还不确定红肉影响体味的原因。故选C项。 【31题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Still, if you suddenly notice an unpleasant smell, it may be related to the food you eat.(不过，如果你突然闻到难闻的气味，可能与你吃的食物有关)”可知，全文围绕多种食物对体味或尿液气味的影响展开，由此可知，题目“会影响体味的食物”可以概括文章主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 2.浙江浙南名校、七彩阳光 精诚联盟、金兰教育2025-2026学年2月高三下学期返校联考英语试题 Why do some people keep making choices that hurt them, even when the outcomes are obvious?A new study led by UNSW Sydney's Dr Philip Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel has found that for a small number of people, the problem isn't due to a lack of motivation or capacity, but rather a persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences. The paper, published recently in Nature Communications Psychology, details a simple online learning game where participants are faced with making choices that lead to either reward or punishment. Researchers observed three distinct behavioural types. There were Sensitives —— those who worked out which choices led to bad outcomes and changed their behaviour to avoid them. Next were the Unawares —— people who didn't work it out, but were able to modify their strategies once they were shown the error of their ways. The third group —— and the ones who the researchers were most interested in —— were the Compulsives, who continued to make the wrong choices even after being shown where their strategy was letting them down. “We found that some people just don't learn from experience,” said Dr Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel.“Even when they' re motivated to avoid harm and are paying attention, they fail to realise their own behaviour is causing the problem.” While the researchers are careful not to overstate the findings, the results of the punishment-learning-game experiments could inform the way we tailor treatments for self-destructive behaviour like gambling(赌博), drug and alcohol addictions.“Of course, real life is far more complex than the simple game we designed,” Dr Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel said.“But the patterns we' re seeing, where people ignore both experience and information, are similar to what we see in gambling and other compulsive behaviours.” The research also has important implications for public health messaging. Currently, most campaigns rely on providing information —— about smoking, drinking, diet, or financial risks ——with the assumption that people will act on it. But this study suggests that for some, like Compulsives,a different kind of intervention may be needed. 28. What does Dr Philip Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel's research focus on? A. Key elements in choice-making. B. Opportunity cost in choice-making. C. The link between choices and outcomes. D. The causes of self-destructive choices. 29. What do we know about the Compulsives? A. They lack the ability to concentrate. B. They fail to recognize bad outcomes. C. They are unable to learn from experience. D. They are unwilling to admit their mistakes. 30. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. A limitation of the research. B. An explanation of the research methods. C. Supporting evidence for the research results. D. Potential application of the research findings. 31. What does the author think of current public health messaging? A. It's inaccessible. B. It's insufficient. C. It's misleading. D. It's unnecessary. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了新南威尔士大学的 Philip Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel 博士的一项新研究，该研究 探究了部分人明知选择会带来伤害却仍执意为之的原因，发现这类人并非缺乏动力或能力，而是无法将行为与后果 关联起来。研究划分了三种行为类型，并指出研究结果可为赌博、成瘾等自我毁灭行为的治疗提供参考，也对公共 健康宣传方式有重要启示。 【28 题详解】细节理解题。根据原文第一段第 1 、2 句“Why do some people keep making choices that hurt them, even when the outcomes are obvious?A new study led by UNSW Sydney's Dr Philip Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel has found that for a small number of people, the problem isn't due to a lack of motivation or capacity, but rather a persistent failure to connect their actions with its consequences. ”可知，该研究聚焦于部分人做出自我毁灭式选择的原因。故选 D 错误选项分析：A（做选择的关键要素）：研究并非探讨做选择的要素，而是探究错误选择的原因，该选项错误。B（做选择的机会成本）：原文未提及“机会成本 ”相关内容，该选项错误。C（选择与结果之间的联系）：研究发现部分人无法将行为与后果关联，这是研究的发现，并非研究的聚焦点，研究 聚焦于自我毁灭式选择的成因，该选项错误。 【29 题详解】细节理解题。根据原文第四段第 1 句“We found that some people just don't learn from experience, ”（我 们发现有些人就是无法从经验中学习）及第三段最后一句“the Compulsives, who continued to make the wrong choices even after being shown where their strategy was letting them down. ”可知，强迫型人群无法从经验中学习。故选 C 错误选项分析：A（他们无法集中注意力）：根据原文第四段第 2 句“Even when they' re motivated to avoid harm and are paying attention ”， 这类人群是能集中注意力的，该选项错误。B（他们无法识别不良结果）：研究表明这类人是无法将行为与后果关联，并非无法识别不良结果，该选项错误。D（他们不愿承认自己的错误）：原文未提及这类人是否愿意承认错误，该选项错误。 【30 题详解】主旨大意题。根据原文第五段第 1 句“the results of the punishment-learning game experiments could inform the way we tailor treatments for self-destructive behaviour like gambling, drug and alcohol addictions. ”及全段内容可知， 本段主要讲述了该研究结果在治疗自我毁灭行为方面的潜在应用价值。故选 D 错误选项分析：A（研究的局限性）：原文第五段虽提及“real life is far more complex than the simple game we designed ”，但这只是补 充说明，并非本段核心，该选项错误。B（研究方法的解释）：本段未解释研究方法，该选项错误。C（研究结果的佐证）：本段无相关佐证内容，该选项错误。 【31 题详解】推理判断题。根据原文最后一段第 2、3 句“Currently, most campaigns rely on providing information... with the assumption that people will act on it.

Film critics have described the fans and creators of films like Friday the 13th and Saw as “very sick people”. But I argue that these assumptions are all wrong. The misconceptions about horror fans were seemingly supported by evidence presented in an analysis from 2007. But the analysis is only as strong as the studies it summarizes. In this case, they had poorly defined variables. For example, the two studies with the strongest association with low empathy examined participant enjoyment of torture and short clips that concluded with cruel murders and no satisfactory resolution. These measures probably won’t tell you much about horror fans. The authors of the analysis admitted deep in the discussion section that the link between empathy and enjoyment of horror disappeared when those studies were removed. In 2024, I published a set of studies that directly addressed the question of horror fandom and empathy. The results were striking. Using standardised assessments, horror fans scored higher on empathy and compassion. When my colleagues and I examined the motivations of horror fans at frightening attractions, we found that “adrenaline junkies” represent only one subset. We also found a group we called “dark copers”, who use horror to process difficult emotions. Another group, “white knucklers,” confront fear to learn about themselves. The three-type model reveals that many fans aren’t just motivated by adrenaline (肾上腺素). But there is one common trait among them. My research has identified morbid curiosity (猎奇) as the most powerful predictor of horror fandom. It is this tendency to seek out information about threatening or death-related phenomena that drives a fascination with horror media. Studies show that people with higher levels of this curiosity demonstrate better preparedness for real crises and show increased resilience during stressful life events. The evidence paints a picture of horror fans being empathetic, curious and psychologically complicated. Horror is a proof to human adaptability and our remarkable capacity to find meaning, connection and even growth in the face of our deepest fears. 8. What is a conventional wisdom about horror fans? A. They lack empathy. B. They tend to fall sick. C. They desire comfort. D. They seek uniqueness. 9. What is the limitation of previous studies? A. They ignore the essence of humanity. B. The variables’ definition is indefinite. C. They rely much on participants’ feelings. D. The incomplete discussion is misleading. 10. Why is the three-type model mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To introduce types of horror fans. B. To show motivations of horror fans. C. To group fans based on their emotions. D. To compare different levels of curiosity. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards horrors? A. He doubted them. B. He dismissed them. C. He approved of them. D. He brushed them aside. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了恐怖片粉丝的刻板印象，指出他们并非冷漠无情，而是具有同理心和好奇心，并通过研究揭示了恐怖片粉丝的多样动机和心理复杂性。 【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Horror fans have been painted with the same broad and bloody brush for decades: labelled as cold, unfeeling thrill-seekers who delight in others’ suffering.(几十年来，恐怖片粉丝一直被用同样宽泛且血腥的笔触描绘：他们被贴上冷漠、无情的寻求刺激者的标签，以他人的痛苦为乐)”可知，传统观念认为恐怖片粉丝缺乏同理心。故选A项。 【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“The misconceptions about horror fans were seemingly supported by evidence presented in an analysis from 2007. But the analysis is only as strong as the studies it summarizes. In this case, they had poorly defined variables. For example, the two studies with the strongest association with low empathy examined participant enjoyment of torture and short clips that concluded with cruel murders and no satisfactory resolution. These measures probably won’t tell you much about horror fans. The authors of the analysis admitted deep in the discussion section that the link between empathy and enjoyment of horror disappeared when those studies were removed.(关于恐怖片爱好者的误解，看似得到了2007年一项分析研究的支持。然而，这类分析的可靠性完全取决于其所总结的具体研究质量。就此次分析而言，研究中变量的界定存在明显缺陷。例如，其中两项最能体现“低共情”关联性的研究，测量的是参与者对酷刑情节的接受度，以及观看以残忍谋杀收尾且毫无圆满结局的短片时的反应。这类测量指标恐怕难以真实反映恐怖片爱好者的特征。该分析报告的作者在讨论部分的末尾也承认，一旦剔除这两项研究，共情能力与恐怖片喜爱度之间的关联便不复存在)”可知，先前研究的局限性在于变量的界定存在明显缺陷，即变量的定义不明确。故选B项。 【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“When my colleagues and I examined the motivations of horror fans at frightening attractions, we found that “adrenaline junkies” represent only one subset. We also found a group we called “dark copers”, who use horror to process difficult emotions. Another group, “white knucklers,” confront fear to learn about themselves. The three-type model reveals that many fans aren’t just motivated by adrenaline (肾上腺素).(当我和同事们研究恐怖景点中恐怖片粉丝的动机时，我们发现“寻求刺激者”只是其中的一个子集。我们还发现了一群我们称之为“黑暗应对者”的人，他们利用恐怖来处理困难的情绪。另一群人，“硬着头皮面对者”，则通过面对恐惧来了解自己。这三种类型模式表明，许多粉丝的动机不仅仅是肾上腺素)”可知，第四段提到三种类型模式是为了展示恐怖片粉丝的不同动机。故选B项。 【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“The evidence paints a picture of horror fans being empathetic, curious and psychologically complicated. Horror is a proof to human adaptability and our remarkable capacity to find meaning, connection and even growth in the face of our deepest fears.(这些证据描绘出恐怖片粉丝富有同理心、充满好奇心且心理复杂形象。恐怖证明了人类的适应能力，以及我们在面对最深的恐惧时寻找意义、联系甚至成长的不凡能力)”可知，作者对恐怖片持认可态度。故选C项。 4.重庆市沙坪坝区重庆市第八中学校2025-2026学年度下学期高三年级入学考试英语试题 Studies have indicated that physical appearance can greatly influence a person's mental well-being, social interactions and opportunities in life. Attractive people often benefit from social biases, while those seen as less attractive may face challenges like lower confidence, social exclusion and fewer opportunities. A 2022 investigation explored how society's attitudes toward appearance shape interpersonal communication. Participants were shown photos of people with different looks and asked to rate their intelligence, likability and trustworthiness. The results were clear: people considered more attractive received higher ratings in all categories. Furthermore, attractive people were more likely to be described as confident and capable, while less attractive individuals were often marginalized or associated with negative stereotypes. This bias was especially noticeable in group settings, where attractive people were more likely to be included and listened to during discussions. The emotional impact of this bias is also significant. Attractive people often have higher self-respect because they get more praises and positive feedback. However, this advantage comes with pressure, as attractive individuals may feel stressed about maintaining their appearance,leading to anxiety as they age. On the other hand, less attractive people often struggle with feelings of low self- worth, which contribute to depression and anxiety. The workplace is also affected by these biases. Research shows that attractive people are more likely to be hired, promoted and earn higher salaries. Employers often naturally link attractiveness to ability, confidence and leadership qualities. This creates a disadvantage for people who don't meet traditional beauty standards, forcing them to work harder to gain recognition. To address these biases, researchers emphasize the importance of promoting inclusivity and challenging conventional social concepts. By encouraging self- acceptance and appreciating different kinds of beauty, society can create a fairer environment that values individuals for their character and abilities, not just their appearance. 28. What is a consequence of being considered less attractive according to paragraph 1? A. They are more likely to be socially isolated. B. They are never given preferential treatment. C. They tend to have more interpersonal skills. D. They tend to have worse interpersonal skills. 29. What impacts can appearance bias have on people? A. Employers value looks over abilities. B. Attractive people have better mental health. C. Both attractive and less attractive face emotional challenges. D. Less attractive people are less likely to succeed in career life. 30. How can society create a fairer environment? A. By overlooking outer beauty. B. By meeting social expectations. C. By applying universal beauty standards. D. By advocating enjoying diverse beauty. 31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To explain how appearance impacts people's life. B. To appeal for a fairer and more inclusive society. C. To address the psychological effects of appearance. D. To argue that only attractive people can succeed in life. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了外貌对个人心理、社交及职业机会的影响，指出外貌偏见带来的问题，并呼吁社会营造更公平、包容的环境。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Attractive people often benefit from social biases, while those seen as less attractive may face challenges like lower confidence, social exclusion and fewer opportunities. (有魅力的人通常会从社会偏见中获益，而那些被认为魅力不足的人可能会面临缺乏自信、被社会排斥和机会减少等挑战。)”可知，被认为魅力不足的人更有可能被社会孤立。故选A项。 【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Attractive people often have higher self-respect because they get more praises and positive feedback. However, this advantage comes with pressure, as attractive individuals may feel stressed about maintaining their appearance, leading to anxiety as they age. (有魅力的人通常自尊心更强，因为他们得到更多的赞扬和积极的反馈。然而，这种优势伴随着压力，因为有魅力的人可能会对保持自己的外表感到有压力，随着年龄的增长会导致焦虑。)”和“On the other hand, less attractive people often struggle with feelings of low self-worth, which contribute to depression and anxiety. (另一方面，魅力不足的人常常会因为自我价值感低而挣扎，这会导致抑郁和焦虑。)”可知，外貌偏见对有魅力和魅力不足的人都会带来情感上的挑战。故选C项。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“By encouraging self-acceptance and appreciating different kinds of beauty, society can create a fairer environment that values individuals for their character and abilities, not just their appearance. (通过鼓励自我接纳和欣赏不同类型的美，社会可以创造一个更公平的环境，重视个人的性格和能力，而不仅仅是外表。)”可知，社会可以通过倡导欣赏不同的美来创造一个更公平的环境。故选D项。 【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“To address these biases, researchers emphasize the importance of promoting inclusivity and challenging conventional social concepts. By encouraging self-acceptance and appreciating different kinds of beauty, society can create a fairer environment that values individuals for their character and abilities, not just their appearance. (为了解决这些偏见，研究人员强调促进包容性和挑战传统社会观念的重要性。通过鼓励自我接纳和欣赏不同类型的美，社会可以创造一个更公平的环境，重视个人的性格和能力，而不仅仅是外表。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁建立一个更公平、更具包容性的社会。故选B项。 5.2026届云南昭通市第一中学等三校高考备考实用性联考卷（六）英语试题 Bubble tea, a globally popular drink, is often seen as a harmless treat. However, emerging research and medical reports indicate that its health and safety risks are more significant than many consumers realize, extending beyond mere high sugar content. One of the most immediate dangers is the choking hazard (风险) posed by the tapioca pearls or other toppings. A 2019 systematic review published in Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine documented a case where a teenager required emergency bronchoscopy to remove a pearl lodged in her airway. The study identified at least 16 similar choking incidents in medical literature. The pearls’ size, consistency, and the common use of wide straws encourage swallowing them without adequate chewing, creating a risk, particularly for children and adolescents. The well-documented high sugar level is another major concern. A typical serving can contain shockingly high amounts of sugar, sometimes exceeding 50 grams. This far surpasses the World Health Organization’s recommended daily intake of free sugars. Regular consumption is strongly linked to an increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. Some national food agencies have even categorized bubble tea as a “sugar-sweetened beverage” subject to public health warnings. Beyond sugar, the drink often contains considerable amounts of caffeine and food additives. The caffeine, primarily from tea base, can lead to anxiety, sleep disturbances, and palpitations, especially in young people. A 2023 Taiwanese study found that some bubble teas contained enough caffeine to exceed the recommended daily limit for adolescents in just one serving. Furthermore, additives like thickeners and artificial flavors, while approved for use, raise questions about long-term health effects when consumed frequently. While an occasional bubble tea is unlikely to cause harm, the combination of choking risks, extreme sugar content, and potential overconsumption of caffeine and additives presents a serious public health challenge. Understanding these hidden risks is crucial for making informed choices, particularly for younger, frequent consumers. 28. What does the 2019 systematic review primarily reveal about the choking incidents related to bubble tea? A. They are the leading cause of death among adolescent consumers. B. They are not isolated cases but have been documented multiple times. C. They can be entirely prevented by chewing the pearls thoroughly. D. They are frequently misdiagnosed by emergency room physicians. 29. What does the underlined word “lodged” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Dissolved. B. Produced. C. Moved. D. Stuck. 30. Which of the following conditions might adolescents face who frequently consume bubble tea according to paragraph 4? A. Experiencing acute choking from pearls, requiring urgent medical care. B. Exceeding the daily recommended caffeine intake from a single serving. C. Facing direct heart attack risks due to excessively high sugar content. D. Developing immediate severe allergic reactions from food additives. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Sweet Danger: Why We Should Avoid Bubble Tea B. Beyond Sugar: The Underestimated Threats of Bubble Tea C. A Global Treat: The Popularity and Production of Bubble Tea D. Nutrition Facts: Understanding the Components of Bubble Tea 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了珍珠奶茶存在的健康安全隐患，包括噎食风险、高糖、咖啡因及添加剂等问题。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“A 2019 systematic review published in Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine documented a case where a teenager required emergency bronchoscopy to remove a pearl lodged in her airway. The study identified at least 16 similar choking incidents in medical literature. (2019年发表在《临床与实验急诊医学》上的一项系统回顾记录了一个案例，一名青少年需要紧急支气管镜检查以取出她气道中的卡住的珍珠。该研究在医学文献中发现了至少16起类似的窒息事件)”可知，2019年的系统回顾主要表明与珍珠奶茶有关的窒息事件并非个例，而是多次被记录。故选B项。 【29题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段“A 2019 systematic review published in Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine documented a case where a teenager required emergency bronchoscopy to remove a pearl lodged in her airway. (2019年发表在《临床与实验急诊医学》上的一项系统综述记录了一个案例，一名青少年需要紧急支气管镜检查以取出她气道中的lodged珍珠)”可知，珍珠卡在气道里，所以需要紧急支气管镜检查取出，lodged的意思是“卡住”，与stuck意义相近。故选D项。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“A 2023 Taiwanese study found that some bubble teas contained enough caffeine to exceed the recommended daily limit for adolescents in just one serving. (2023年台湾的一项研究发现，一些珍珠奶茶所含的咖啡因足以在一杯中就超过青少年每日推荐摄入量)”可知，经常喝珍珠奶茶的青少年可能会在一杯中就超过每日推荐的咖啡因摄入量。故选B项。 【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, emerging research and medical reports indicate that its health and safety risks are more significant than many consumers realize, extending beyond mere high sugar content. (然而，新兴的研究和医学报告表明，其健康和安全风险比许多消费者意识到的更为严重，不仅仅局限于高糖含量)”以及文章内容可知，全文核心论点是珍珠奶茶的风险远不止人们通常所知的高糖分，还包括窒息、咖啡因和添加剂等隐藏的风险，所以B选项“超越糖分：珍珠奶茶被低估的威胁”适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 6.湖北省云学联盟2026届高三年级2月阶段训练英语试卷 A large U.S. study found that older adults who drink coffee — whether caffeinated or decaffeinated — tend to have a lower risk of death compared to non-coffee drinkers. The research, led by scientists from the National Institutes of Health, observed a reduced risk of death from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, infections, and other causes, though no clear link was found with cancer-related deaths. The study followed 400,000 adults aged 50-71 over 13 years. Participants reported their coffee habits once at the start of the study. Results showed that those who drank three or more cups daily had about a 10% lower risk of death than non-drinkers. This association remained even after adjusting for factors like smoking and diet. However, researchers cautioned that the findings do not prove coffee directly extends lifespan. “Coffee is widely consumed, but its health effects have been debated,” said Dr. Neal Freedman, lead author of the study. “While we can’t confirm coffee causes a longer life, these results strongly indicate it isn’t harmful and might even be beneficial.” Notably, the type of caffeine (caffeinated vs. decaf) mattered little, implying that other compounds in coffee — e.g. antioxidants — might play a role. Coffee contains over 1,000 chemicals, many of which could influence health. Of course, the study has limitations. Coffee intake was self-reported only once, and preparation methods were not analyzed. Differences in brewing might affect the health properties of coffee. Additionally, while coffee was linked to lower overall death risk, men who drank large amounts showed a slight increase in cancer deaths, though this was not strongly conclusive. Experts emphasize that lifestyle factors matter. Coffee drinkers may have shared other healthy habits. “This doesn’t mean everyone should start drinking coffee,” said Freedman. “But it offers reassurance that moderate consumption is likely safe.” Published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2012, this research adds to evidence that coffee, when enjoyed in moderation, could be a component of healthy lifestyle. Future studies will explore how specific compounds in coffee interact with the body. 28. What on earth plays a crucial role in coffee drinkers’ living longer? A. The type of caffeine (regular or decaf). B. The brewing methods used in the study. C. Coffee drinkers’ healthier life habits. D. Antioxidants and other compounds in coffee. 29. What can we learn from the study on coffee drinking? A. The Study confirms coffee directly extends lifespan. B. More studies are still needed to confirm the finding. C. Drinking coffee reduces the risk of cancer-related deaths. D. The study conducted nationwide covered all age groups. 30. What attitude should we take towards the research findings? A. Largely dismissive. B. Completely convinced. C. Uncritically enthusiastic. D. Cautiously optimistic. 31. Which of the following could be the best title for the article? A. Coffee Linked to Lower Death Risk B. Coffee Can Extend Lifespan Directly C. Decaf Coffee Has Been Proved Healthier D. New Study Confirms Coffee Cures Illnesses 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项大型美国研究发现喝咖啡的老年人死亡风险更低，但未证明咖啡直接延寿，需理性看待该研究结果。 28. 答案: D​解析：文章第四段明确指出，咖啡因的类型（含咖啡因或无咖啡因）影响不大，暗示咖啡中的其他化合物（如抗氧化剂）可能起关键作用。选项A（咖啡因类型）与文意相反；选项B（酿造方法）在研究中未分析，非关键；选项C（咖啡饮用者更健康的生活习惯）虽被提及，但问题问的是“究竟什么起关键作用”，文章直接指向咖啡中的抗氧化剂等化合物，故D正确。 29. 答案: B​解析：文章最后一段提到“未来研究将探索咖啡中特定化合物如何与身体相互作用”，说明仍需更多研究来确认发现。选项A（研究确认咖啡直接延长寿命）与文中“研究发现不能证明咖啡直接延长寿命”相悖；选项C（喝咖啡降低癌症死亡风险）与文中“未发现与癌症死亡风险的明确联系”不符；选项D（研究覆盖所有年龄组）错误，因研究仅针对50-71岁成年人。故B正确。 30. 答案: D​解析：文章既指出咖啡与较低死亡风险相关，又强调研究局限性（如自我报告数据、未证实因果关系），并引用专家观点称“这不意味着每个人都应开始喝咖啡，但表明适度消费可能安全”。因此，态度应是谨慎乐观，而非完全不屑一顾（A）、完全相信（B）或不加批判地热情（C）。D最符合文意。 31. 答案: A​解析：文章核心是研究发现喝咖啡与较低死亡风险相关，但未证明咖啡直接延长寿命或治愈疾病。选项A准确概括了这一主题；选项B（直接延长寿命）与文意相反；选项C（无咖啡因咖啡更健康）片面，因文中强调咖啡因类型影响不大；选项D（咖啡治愈疾病）夸大事实，文章仅提及风险降低。故A最适合作标题。 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 1.安徽A10联盟2026届高三下学期2月开学学情检测英语试题 Everyone has a natural body smell, and most of the time it is completely normal. While many people try to hide their natural smell with deodorant (除臭剂) or perfume, you usually do not smell bad unless you are sweating heavily. Still, if you suddenly notice an unpleasant smell, it may be related to the food you eat. To begin with, some vegetables can influence the way your body smells. For example, onions, garlic, leeks, and scallions are full of flavor but also rich in sulfur (硫). As the body digests them, sulfur compounds enter the blood and move through the pores, the breath, and even urine (尿液), which can create a strong smell. Still, these vegetables are very nutritious, so brushing your teeth and using deodorant afterward is often enough. Certain vegetables may change the smell of your urine. Asparagus is a good example. When the body breaks down a sulfur compound in it, the urine of some people develops a special smell. This does not happen to everyone and is completely harmless. Cruciferous vegetables — such as broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts — can also contribute. Eating large amounts of them may lead to body odor or gas. However, cooking them and increasing your intake slowly can help reduce these effects. Spices can also play a part. Strong spices like cumin, cayenne, and horseradish raise your body temperature and make you sweat more. As a result, your body smell may become stronger. Using deodorant and washing after sweating are simple ways to manage this. Besides these foods, red meat has been linked to a less pleasant body smell, although the exact reason remains unclear. Alcohol can have a similar effect, as it is partly released through the breath, pores, and urine during digestion. If you want to reduce body smell naturally, washing with antibacterial soap, keeping your underarm skin clean, and choosing a suitable deodorant can make a big difference. If the smell seems unusual or lasts too long, it is best to seek advice from a doctor. 28. Which foods affect body smell through sulfur compounds? A. Onions and garlic. B. Cumin and cayenne. C.

The paper, published recently in Nature Communications Psychology, details a simple online learning game where participants are faced with making choices that lead to either reward or punishment. Researchers observed three distinct behavioural types. There were Sensitives —— those who worked out which choices led to bad outcomes and changed their behaviour to avoid them. Next were the Unawares —— people who didn't work it out, but were able to modify their strategies once they were shown the error of their ways. The third group —— and the ones who the researchers were most interested in —— were the Compulsives, who continued to make the wrong choices even after being shown where their strategy was letting them down. “We found that some people just don't learn from experience,” said Dr Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel.“Even when they' re motivated to avoid harm and are paying attention, they fail to realise their own behaviour is causing the problem.” While the researchers are careful not to overstate the findings, the results of the punishment-learning-game experiments could inform the way we tailor treatments for self-destructive behaviour like gambling(赌博), drug and alcohol addictions.“Of course, real life is far more complex than the simple game we designed,” Dr Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel said.“But the patterns we' re seeing, where people ignore both experience and information, are similar to what we see in gambling and other compulsive behaviours.” The research also has important implications for public health messaging. Currently, most campaigns rely on providing information —— about smoking, drinking, diet, or financial risks ——with the assumption that people will act on it. But this study suggests that for some, like Compulsives,a different kind of intervention may be needed. 28. What does Dr Philip Jean-Richard-dit-Bressel's research focus on? A. Key elements in choice-making. B. Opportunity cost in choice-making. C. The link between choices and outcomes. D. The causes of self-destructive choices. 29. What do we know about the Compulsives? A. They lack the ability to concentrate. B. They fail to recognize bad outcomes. C. They are unable to learn from experience. D. They are unwilling to admit their mistakes. 30. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. A limitation of the research. B. An explanation of the research methods. C. Supporting evidence for the research results. D. Potential application of the research findings. 31. What does the author think of current public health messaging? A. It's inaccessible. B. It's insufficient. C. It's misleading. D. It's unnecessary. 3.山东名校联盟2026届高三下学期2月份核心素养评估考试英语试卷 Horror fans have been painted with the same broad and bloody brush for decades: labelled as cold, unfeeling thrill-seekers who delight in others’ suffering. Film critics have described the fans and creators of films like Friday the 13th and Saw as “very sick people”. But I argue that these assumptions are all wrong. The misconceptions about horror fans were seemingly supported by evidence presented in an analysis from 2007. But the analysis is only as strong as the studies it summarizes. In this case, they had poorly defined variables. For example, the two studies with the strongest association with low empathy examined participant enjoyment of torture and short clips that concluded with cruel murders and no satisfactory resolution. These measures probably won’t tell you much about horror fans. The authors of the analysis admitted deep in the discussion section that the link between empathy and enjoyment of horror disappeared when those studies were removed. In 2024, I published a set of studies that directly addressed the question of horror fandom and empathy. The results were striking. Using standardised assessments, horror fans scored higher on empathy and compassion. When my colleagues and I examined the motivations of horror fans at frightening attractions, we found that “adrenaline junkies” represent only one subset. We also found a group we called “dark copers”, who use horror to process difficult emotions. Another group, “white knucklers,” confront fear to learn about themselves. The three-type model reveals that many fans aren’t just motivated by adrenaline (肾上腺素). But there is one common trait among them. My research has identified morbid curiosity (猎奇) as the most powerful predictor of horror fandom. It is this tendency to seek out information about threatening or death-related phenomena that drives a fascination with horror media. Studies show that people with higher levels of this curiosity demonstrate better preparedness for real crises and show increased resilience during stressful life events. The evidence paints a picture of horror fans being empathetic, curious and psychologically complicated. Horror is a proof to human adaptability and our remarkable capacity to find meaning, connection and even growth in the face of our deepest fears. 8. What is a conventional wisdom about horror fans? A. They lack empathy. B. They tend to fall sick. C. They desire comfort. D. They seek uniqueness. 9. What is the limitation of previous studies? A. They ignore the essence of humanity. B. The variables’ definition is indefinite. C. They rely much on participants’ feelings. D. The incomplete discussion is misleading. 10. Why is the three-type model mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To introduce types of horror fans. B. To show motivations of horror fans. C. To group fans based on their emotions. D. To compare different levels of curiosity. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards horrors? A. He doubted them. B. He dismissed them. C. He approved of them. D. He brushed them aside. 4.重庆市沙坪坝区重庆市第八中学校2025-2026学年度下学期高三年级入学考试英语试题 Studies have indicated that physical appearance can greatly influence a person's mental well-being, social interactions and opportunities in life. Attractive people often benefit from social biases, while those seen as less attractive may face challenges like lower confidence, social exclusion and fewer opportunities. A 2022 investigation explored how society's attitudes toward appearance shape interpersonal communication. Participants were shown photos of people with different looks and asked to rate their intelligence, likability and trustworthiness. The results were clear: people considered more attractive received higher ratings in all categories. Furthermore, attractive people were more likely to be described as confident and capable, while less attractive individuals were often marginalized or associated with negative stereotypes. This bias was especially noticeable in group settings, where attractive people were more likely to be included and listened to during discussions. The emotional impact of this bias is also significant. Attractive people often have higher self-respect because they get more praises and positive feedback. However, this advantage comes with pressure, as attractive individuals may feel stressed about maintaining their appearance,leading to anxiety as they age. On the other hand, less attractive people often struggle with feelings of low self- worth, which contribute to depression and anxiety. The workplace is also affected by these biases. Research shows that attractive people are more likely to be hired, promoted and earn higher salaries. Employers often naturally link attractiveness to ability, confidence and leadership qualities. This creates a disadvantage for people who don't meet traditional beauty standards, forcing them to work harder to gain recognition. To address these biases, researchers emphasize the importance of promoting inclusivity and challenging conventional social concepts. By encouraging self- acceptance and appreciating different kinds of beauty, society can create a fairer environment that values individuals for their character and abilities, not just their appearance. 28. What is a consequence of being considered less attractive according to paragraph 1? A. They are more likely to be socially isolated. B. They are never given preferential treatment. C. They tend to have more interpersonal skills. D. They tend to have worse interpersonal skills. 29. What impacts can appearance bias have on people? A. Employers value looks over abilities. B. Attractive people have better mental health. C. Both attractive and less attractive face emotional challenges. D. Less attractive people are less likely to succeed in career life. 30. How can society create a fairer environment? A. By overlooking outer beauty. B. By meeting social expectations. C. By applying universal beauty standards. D. By advocating enjoying diverse beauty. 31. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To explain how appearance impacts people's life. B. To appeal for a fairer and more inclusive society. C. To address the psychological effects of appearance. D. To argue that only attractive people can succeed in life. 5.2026届云南昭通市第一中学等三校高考备考实用性联考卷（六）英语试题 Bubble tea, a globally popular drink, is often seen as a harmless treat. However, emerging research and medical reports indicate that its health and safety risks are more significant than many consumers realize, extending beyond mere high sugar content. One of the most immediate dangers is the choking hazard (风险) posed by the tapioca pearls or other toppings. A 2019 systematic review published in Clinical and Experimental Emergency Medicine documented a case where a teenager required emergency bronchoscopy to remove a pearl lodged in her airway. The study identified at least 16 similar choking incidents in medical literature. The pearls’ size, consistency, and the common use of wide straws encourage swallowing them without adequate chewing, creating a risk, particularly for children and adolescents. The well-documented high sugar level is another major concern. A typical serving can contain shockingly high amounts of sugar, sometimes exceeding 50 grams. This far surpasses the World Health Organization’s recommended daily intake of free sugars. Regular consumption is strongly linked to an increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic disorders. Some national food agencies have even categorized bubble tea as a “sugar-sweetened beverage” subject to public health warnings. Beyond sugar, the drink often contains considerable amounts of caffeine and food additives. The caffeine, primarily from tea base, can lead to anxiety, sleep disturbances, and palpitations, especially in young people. A 2023 Taiwanese study found that some bubble teas contained enough caffeine to exceed the recommended daily limit for adolescents in just one serving. Furthermore, additives like thickeners and artificial flavors, while approved for use, raise questions about long-term health effects when consumed frequently. While an occasional bubble tea is unlikely to cause harm, the combination of choking risks, extreme sugar content, and potential overconsumption of caffeine and additives presents a serious public health challenge. Understanding these hidden risks is crucial for making informed choices, particularly for younger, frequent consumers. 28. What does the 2019 systematic review primarily reveal about the choking incidents related to bubble tea? A. They are the leading cause of death among adolescent consumers. B. They are not isolated cases but have been documented multiple times. C. They can be entirely prevented by chewing the pearls thoroughly. D. They are frequently misdiagnosed by emergency room physicians. 29. What does the underlined word “lodged” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Dissolved. B. Produced. C. Moved. D. Stuck. 30. Which of the following conditions might adolescents face who frequently consume bubble tea according to paragraph 4? A. Experiencing acute choking from pearls, requiring urgent medical care. B. Exceeding the daily recommended caffeine intake from a single serving. C. Facing direct heart attack risks due to excessively high sugar content. D. Developing immediate severe allergic reactions from food additives. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Sweet Danger: Why We Should Avoid Bubble Tea B. Beyond Sugar: The Underestimated Threats of Bubble Tea C. A Global Treat: The Popularity and Production of Bubble Tea D. Nutrition Facts: Understanding the Components of Bubble Tea 6.湖北省云学联盟2026届高三年级2月阶段训练英语试卷 A large U.S. study found that older adults who drink coffee — whether caffeinated or decaffeinated — tend to have a lower risk of death compared to non-coffee drinkers. The research, led by scientists from the National Institutes of Health, observed a reduced risk of death from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, infections, and other causes, though no clear link was found with cancer-related deaths. The study followed 400,000 adults aged 50-71 over 13 years. Participants reported their coffee habits once at the start of the study. Results showed that those who drank three or more cups daily had about a 10% lower risk of death than non-drinkers. This association remained even after adjusting for factors like smoking and diet. However, researchers cautioned that the findings do not prove coffee directly extends lifespan. “Coffee is widely consumed, but its health effects have been debated,” said Dr. Neal Freedman, lead author of the study. “While we can’t confirm coffee causes a longer life, these results strongly indicate it isn’t harmful and might even be beneficial.” Notably, the type of caffeine (caffeinated vs. decaf) mattered little, implying that other compounds in coffee — e.g. antioxidants — might play a role. Coffee contains over 1,000 chemicals, many of which could influence health. Of course, the study has limitations. Coffee intake was self-reported only once, and preparation methods were not analyzed. Differences in brewing might affect the health properties of coffee. Additionally, while coffee was linked to lower overall death risk, men who drank large amounts showed a slight increase in cancer deaths, though this was not strongly conclusive. Experts emphasize that lifestyle factors matter. Coffee drinkers may have shared other healthy habits. “This doesn’t mean everyone should start drinking coffee,” said Freedman. “But it offers reassurance that moderate consumption is likely safe.” Published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2012, this research adds to evidence that coffee, when enjoyed in moderation, could be a component of healthy lifestyle. Future studies will explore how specific compounds in coffee interact with the body. 28. What on earth plays a crucial role in coffee drinkers’ living longer? A. The type of caffeine (regular or decaf). B. The brewing methods used in the study. C. Coffee drinkers’ healthier life habits. D. Antioxidants and other compounds in coffee. 29.

Drinking coffee reduces the risk of cancer-related deaths. D. The study conducted nationwide covered all age groups. 30. What attitude should we take towards the research findings? A. Largely dismissive. B. Completely convinced. C. Uncritically enthusiastic. D. Cautiously optimistic. 31. Which of the following could be the best title for the article? A. Coffee Linked to Lower Death Risk B. Coffee Can Extend Lifespan Directly C. Decaf Coffee Has Been Proved Healthier D. New Study Confirms Coffee Cures Illnesses 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
