As well as getting cupping done by a professional, there’s a growing range of at-home cupping devices now available, ranging from silicon cups to smart electronic powered devices. They claim to offer the benefits at home, helping with pain reduction, increased circulation and relaxation. Cupping has been practised for thousands of years, and can be traced back to ancient Chinese and Egyptian medicine. Recently, cupping has become famous as a form of alternative medicine, thanks to the red marks it can leave and celebrity fans like Michael Phelps. Glass, plastic or silicon cups are placed onto the skin for several minutes creating suction on localised areas. It’s thought this encourages blood flow to improve circulation and reduce pain, although there is no firm agreement on how it works and no single theory can explain the full effects of cupping. While it’s popular, there’s only limited scientific evidence on the benefits of cupping. A study found it can be useful to decrease pain levels and improve blood flow to affected areas with low adverse effects. “The suction causes smaller capillaries (毛细血管) in the skin to rupture, causing the circular bruise (瘀伤), and keeping the body in repair mode as the body has to repair these small capillaries and make fresh blood flow to the area days after the treatment,” Dr Tom Ingegno, author of The Cupping Book says. Cupping is low risk, but it’s not suitable for everyone, especially pregnant women, cancer patients and those with organ failure. Cupping is known as a complementary treatment and sports performance coach Arj Thiruchelvam believes that cupping devices do have a place but they should be used as an additional bonus to other methods. “Sleep, nutrition, light cardiovascular work and regular stretching all seem to have a more solid evidence-base for recovery,” he says. 1．Which of the following makes at-home cupping an alternative therapy? A．Its budget-friendly cost. B．Its benefits and convenience. C．Its professional guidance. D．Its safe and labour-saving devices. 2．Why is Michael Phelps mentioned in paragraph 2? A．To tell us the history of cupping. B．To prove how cupping functions. C．To show how cupping gets popular. D．To reveal celebrities’ preferences. 3．What does the underlined word “rupture” mean in paragraph 5? A．Heal. B．Form. C．Bend. D．Break. 4．What does Thiruchelvam think of cupping? A．It is good for skin repair. B．It has a certain positive effect. C．It is suitable for home health care. D．It can’t be replaced by other treatments. 押题2 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 272 介绍中国古代医学哲学及其影响 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Two British professionals, film producer James Eden and acupuncturist (针灸医师) Gerad Kite, have co-authored a new book, The Untapped Self, making ancient Chinese medical philosophy accessible to today’s anxious global audience. Their joint work began when Eden first visited Kite’s London clinic for stress relief, unknowingly starting a journey that would later lead to this joint project. Kite, an experienced specialist with 35 years in the field, describes acupuncture as “one of China’s greatest cultural gifts”. His experience with acupuncture in the 1980s San Francisco changed his life. He left his previous career and went to study under J.R. Worsley, who first brought Chinese acupuncture to the West. Kite uses an approach called five-element acupuncture. This approach works by fixing imbalances in the body to bring back its natural state of balance, not just by dealing with the symptoms. Since starling his London clinic in 1990, Kite has given about 50,000 treatments while teaching around 50 students each year. His new book shares ten patients’ stories showing how acupuncture’s philosophy helps people find calmer, more balanced lives. Co-author Eden brought his own special view — as a long-time meditation (冥想) enthusiast who spent six months at China’s Wudang Mountain learning tai chi and kung fu, which deepened his understanding of Chinese medicine. Both authors feel deeply thankful for China’s medical tradition and value China’s work in connecting traditional wisdom with modern science. “By supporting research,” Kite says, “China shows how ancient wisdom can work alongside modem medicine.” They see their purpose as sharing this healing knowledge, shown by traditional Chinese medicine’s growing worldwide reach through acupuncture, herbs and related practices. 1．What is the book The Untapped Self about? A．Health care. B．Scientific research. C．Film production. D．Personal biography. 2．What can we learn about Kite according to the passage? A．He taught 50 students in his London clinic. B．He devoted much effort to spreading acupuncture. C．He first experienced acupuncture with J.R. Worsley. D．He spent six months learning tai chi and kung fu in China. 3．What is Kite’s attitude towards China’s medical tradition? A．Proud and confident. B．Interested but doubtful. C．Respectful and grateful. D．Impressed but confused. 4．Which can best summarize the passage? A．A popular book, long effect. B．An ancient wisdom, deep impact. C．An acupuncture clinic, great value. D．A professional writer, good insight. 押题3 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 386 自制汤品有助于对抗疟疾的研究，阐述研究过程、结果及科学家对传统草药疗法的重视 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 A new study suggests that some homemade soups — made of chicken, beef or vegetables — might help fight malaria. Jake Baum of the Imperial College London led the research. He asked children at a London school to bring in homemade clear soups that their families would make to treat a fever. The children were from many different cultural backgrounds. The soups were then exposed to the parasite (寄生虫) that creates 99.7 percent of malaria cases in Africa, the World Health Organization, WHO, explained. Of the 56 soups tested, five were more than 50 percent effective in containing the growth of the parasite. Two were as effective as one drug now used to treat malaria. And four soups were more than 50 percent effective at preventing parasites from aging to the point that they could infect mosquitoes that spread the disease. Baum and his team reported their results recently in the publication Archives of Disease in Childhood. “When we started getting soups that worked — in the lab under very restricted conditions — we were really happy and excited,” Baum said in an email to Agence France Presse. Baum also noted that it was unclear which foods made the soups effective against malaria. “If we were serious about going back and finding the ingredient, like good scientists, we’d have to do it in a very standardized way,” he said. The soups came from families from different ethnic histories, including Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. They had several main ingredients, including chicken, beef and green vegetables. Baum said the vegetarian soups showed similar results to the soups with meat. Baum said his aim was in part to show children that scientific research can turn an herbal cure into a man-made medicine. He noted the research of Dr. Tu Youyou of China. In the 1970s, she found that the herb quinhao was an effective antimalarial treatment. The herb has been used in Eastern medicine for two thousand years. Tu’s research led to the manmade drug artemisinin,a drug now widely used to treat malaria. She won the Nobel Prize in 2015. More and more people are becoming resistant to the drugs that treat the disease, which kills about 400,000 people a year. That means scientists will have “look beyond chemistry” and find new drugs, Baum adds. 1．What does paragraph 2 focus on? A．The spread of malaria. B．The growth and aging of parasites. C．The influences of Baum’s research. D．The research findings on homemade soups. 2．What can we infer from Baum’s research? A．The tested soups are not made in the standardized way. B．Meat soups probably outperform vegetarian soups in the lab. C．There’s a long way to go before identifying the things that work. D．Regional characteristics make a big difference in the effect of soups. 3．Why does Baum mention Dr. Tu Youyou in the last paragraph? A．To highlight Dr. Tu’s contributions. B．To recall Dr. Tu’s research process. C．To prove the value of non-chemical cures. D．To reveal the fact of people’s drug resistance. 4．What is Baum’s attitude towards chemical drugs? A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Neutral. D．Unconcerned. 押题4 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 303 针灸等替代疗法在动物治疗中日益流行 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 “I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unorthodox approach to treating animals. But Dr. Farber is not alone in his belief that alternative therapies like acupuncture can be effective for animals. In fact, the use of such therapies is growing in popularity among veterinarians across the country. One of the main reasons for this trend is the increasing recognition that animals, like humans, can benefit from a holistic approach to health care. Traditional Western medicine often focuses on treating specific symptoms or diseases, while alternative therapies take into account the whole body, mind, and spirit of the animal. This can lead to more comprehensive and long-lasting results. Another factor is the growing body of research that supports the effectiveness of alternative therapies. For example, several studies have shown that acupuncture can be helpful in treating pain, neurological disorders, and other conditions in animals. Massage therapy has also been found to reduce stress and improve circulation, while herbal remedies can boost the immune system and aid in digestion. In addition to these benefits, alternative therapies can also be a more natural and less invasive option for animals. Many pet owners are hesitant to subject their furry friends to harsh chemicals or invasive procedures, and alternative therapies offer a gentler alternative. However, it is important to note that alternative therapies should not be used as a substitute for traditional veterinary care. Instead, they should be used in conjunction with conventional treatments to provide the best possible care for animals. Veterinarians who offer alternative therapies should also be properly trained and certified to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatments. 1．Why does Dr. William Farber seem defensive? A．Because he is really crazy. B．Because he is ahead of his time. C．Because some of his coworkers laugh at his unorthodox approach to treating animals. D．Because he doesn’t believe alternative therapies can be effective for animals. 2．What is the main reason for the growing popularity of alternative therapies among veterinarians? A．The increasing recognition that animals can benefit from a holistic approach to health care. B．The growing body of research that supports the effectiveness of alternative therapies. C．That alternative therapies are more natural and less invasive. D．That many pet owners prefer alternative therapies. 3．What does the author think of alternative therapies? A．They can completely replace traditional veterinary care. B．They should be used in conjunction with traditional veterinary care and veterinarians should be properly trained. C．They are useless and have no scientific basis. D．They are only suitable for some specific animals. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Alternative Therapies for Animals: A Growing Trend B．Dr. William Farber’s Unorthodox Treatment C．The Advantages of Traditional Veterinary Care D．Research on Alternative Therapies for Humans 二、植入芯片技术 押题1 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 333 科学家通过在患者眼内植入微型电子芯片，帮助患有年龄相关性黄斑变性 (AMD) 的患者恢复部分中心视力 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 猜测词义 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Scientists have made a breakthrough in vision restoration by inserting tiny electronic chips into the back of patients’ eyes. The chips measure just two millimetres wide — about the thickness of a grain of rice. A trial involved 38 patients with an eye disease called age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It mostly affects older people and makes the centre of their vision unclear. About 600,000 people in the UK have AMD． The trial took place at 17 hospitals in five European countries, including the UK. The patients had a type of AMD called “dry AMD”, which damages cells at the back of the eyes that detect light. Those cells transform light into electrical signals for the brain to process vision. When the cells are damaged, people can’t see properly. Currently, there is no cure. The tiny “bionic” chips can give people back some sight. Bionic means a man-made object that acts as a body part. The patients get a pair of glasses with a built-in video camera and a small pocket sized black box that processes the data. When the patients wear the glasses and look at something, the camera captures images and sends the data to the black box, which makes the images clearer. By using infrared signals (红外信号), the information is sent wirelessly to the chip beneath the patients’ retina (视网膜). This chip relays signals through the optic nerve to the brain, which requires some training to understand the images they see. Patients can only see in black and white, but it has greatly elevated the lives of those treated. Seventy-year-old Sheila Irvine was one patient who took part in the trial. She is registered as blind, but now can read books and do crosswords. “It is amazing,” she said in an interview. “I am one happy bunny.” “Blind patients are actually able to have meaningful central vision restoration, which has never been done before,” noted Mahi Mugit, an associate professor at University College London, commenting on the trial’s outcomes. 1．What is the effect of “dry AMD”? A．It results in complete vision loss. B．It mainly impacts young adults. C．It blocks any signal to the brain. D．It harms light-detecting function. 2．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A．How the entire system works. B．Why infrared signals are used. C．When patients train their brains. D．What makes up the electronic chip. 3．What does the underlined word “elevated” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Restricted. B．Disturbed. C．Extended. D．Improved. 4．What is Mahi Mugit’s attitude towards the new device? A．Indifferent. B．Doubtful. C．Optimistic. D．Critical. 押题2 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 329 脑机接口(BMI)技术上的突破性进展，通过帮助瘫痪患者恢复自主行动与社会参与能力 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Do you take your ability to pick up a cup of water for granted? For many with high-level paralysis this dream into reality. By using brain-machine interface (BMI) technology, they successfully controlled a power wheelchair and even directed a robotic dog to fetch deliveries — all using only their thoughts. Earlier BMI trials mainly focused on “virtual” control, such as moving computer cursors (光标) to play video games. The new breakthrough represents a giant leap: patients are now interacting with the physical world in three dimensions. This advancement enables levels of self-care and social participation that were previously unattainable. For instance, one patient is now working as an trainee, using brain control to check data for artificial intelligence systems. This shift allows paralyzed individuals to regain a sense of independence and social worth. The technology stands out for its usefulness and slight harm to the body. The implants used are the smallest reported globally — about half the size of similar devices developed by tech giants. They are put in through a 5-millimeter small hole in the skull, making the procedure much safer. To ensure a smooth and continuous experience, the research team reduced the delay between a thought and an action to under 100 milliseconds, which is even faster than the body’s natural neural (神经的) response. Speed and size, however, are not the only goals. The project aims to promote large-scale applications for a broader population, “We expect costs to be highly affordable, similar to purchasing an electronic product,” said Zhao Zhengtuo, a leading scientist of the team. He hopes the procedure will eventually become as simple as an ear piercing. As science advances, the boundary between human thought and machine action is blurring (模糊不清的). Looking ahead, the team anticipates breakthroughs in restoring sensory functions within five years. BMI is offering not only a medical tool, but also a bridge to a more inclusive society where physical limitations no longer mean social isolation (隔离). 1．What can we infer about the two Chinese patients? A．They have recovered from paralysis. B．They could control various robotic devices. C．They managed to do some tasks with BMI. D．They were the first to test BMI technology. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The remarkable advantages of BMI technology. B．The tiny size of the implants used in BMI. C．The neural response speed of the human body. D．The safe procedures for BMI implantation. 3．What do we learn about BMI’s future? A．It will contribute to isolation. B．It can serve as a cure for paralysis. C．It might blur social boundaries. D．It may become accessible to the public. 4．What’s the author’s attitude towards BMI technology? A．Neutral. B．Doubtful. C．Favorable. D．Critical. 三、人工移植手术 押题1 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 355 因人类肾脏供体短缺，美国医生开展猪肾移植试验 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Doctors at a hospital in New York have begun a program that will test whether specially designed pig kidneys (肾) can be used to replace human kidneys. Typically, the organs used for transplantation (移植) are donated by people who passed away but wished to help prolong others’ lives through organ donation. However, the number of patients suffering from kidney disease far exceeds the supply of available kidneys. Right now, just in the United States, roughly 100,000 people are on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. Lately, researchers have turned their attention to pig-to-human transplants. Pigs’ bodies share striking similarities with humans’ in many aspects. Besides, there are many other advantages — including ease of breeding and a rapid growth rate. The human immune (免疫) system rejects non-self tissues, which is the core barrier to cross-species organ transplantation. To deal with it, scientists have experimented with “gene editing” to change pigs’ DNA．They’ve made several changes to it, and even added some things from human DNA．Some kidneys come from pigs with as many as 69 changes to their DNA． Early pig kidney transplants succeeded but only briefly. In 2024, a woman lived with a pig kidney for over four months. Tim Andrews, 67, from New Hampshire, set a new record in October, 2025 by living with a pig kidney for nearly nine months. He is still waiting for a human transplant, but his long success has encouraged many. Now, a company called United Therapeutics has begun a government-approved pig kidney transplant trial. It started with six patients, but could eventually involve 50. The trial’s first transplant was announced in early November 2025, with the successful surgery at NYU Langone Health. Many people have doubts about the trial, thinking it is of little practical use and that its costs are high. However, personally, the pig kidney transplant trial could help scientists answer many questions. It’ll provide new information about the safety — as well as the challenges. It’ll also teach them which gene edits work best. Most importantly, it could help them find ways to help patients live longer with pig transplants. 1．Why is the statistic mentioned in paragraph 2? A．To show the organ donation source. B．To compare transplant success rates. C．To highlight the new trial’s necessity. D．To criticize Americans’ poor health care. 2．Why do researchers conduct gene editing on pig kidneys? A．To make them more fit for use in people. B．To keep them from viruses. C．To copy the features of human kidneys. D．To improve human immunity. 3．What does paragraph 4 try to explain about pig kidney transplants? A．The new trial assumptions. B．The initial achievements. C．The recent patients’ conditions. D．The surgical innovation details. 4．What is the author’s attitude to the trial program? A．Tolerant. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Favorable. 押题2 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 323 首个利用患者自身细胞和材料3D打印的完整心脏的突破性进展 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. A transplant (移植) is the only treatment available to patients with end-stage heart failure, but there is a severe shortage of heart donors. That means there’s an urgent need to develop new ways to regenerate a diseased heart. Now the good news is that the world’s first complete 3D-printed heart, made using the patient’s own cells and materials, has been created in a lab. Until now, success has been limited to printing only simple tissues without blood vessels (血管). “This is the first time anyone has successfully printed an entire heart anywhere,” said team leader Tal Dvir. The 3D-printed heart is only about a third the size of an actual human heart and it doesn’t actually work. But it’s a groundbreaking step toward engineering customized (定制的) organs that can be transplanted with less risk of rejection. Dvir noted that scientists have managed to print a 3D structure of a heart before, but not with cells or blood vessels. The use of biological materials from a patient is key to successful engineering of tissues and organs. Ideally, the biomaterial should possess the same biochemical and mechanical properties of the patients’ own tissues. This way, their bodies will be less likely to reject the organ, making transplants much safer. While the 3D-printed heart is about a third the size of a human heart, the same technology can be used to print a normal-sized one. The team’s next step is to culture (培养) printed hearts in the lab and “teach them to behave” like real hearts. Then, researchers plan to transplant the 3D-printed heart into lab animals. “Our results demonstrate the potential of our approach to engineering personalized tissue and organ replacement in the future,” Dvir said. “Maybe in 10 years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world, and these procedures will be conducted routinely.” 1．What can be inferred from the world’s first complete 3D-printed heart? A．It makes organ transplants risk-free. B．It bridges gaps in biological organ printing. C．It solves the donor shortage for heart transplants. D．It has the same properties as natural heart tissues. 2．What does Dvir imply about the previous 3D-printed heart structures in paragraph 3? A．They were ready for transplant to animals. B．They matched the size of real human hearts. C．They lacked cell-based biological components. D．They contained complete blood vessel networks. 3．What will Dvir’s team do in the future? A．They will first test printed hearts on humans. B．They will focus on curing early heart failure. C．They will change the biological materials used. D．They will improve the heart’s functional performance. 4．What’s Dvir’s attitude towards the 3D printing technology? A．Positive. B．Doubtful. C．Negative. D．Indifferent. 押题3 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 326 猪肺异种移植实验及该技术意义 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 The shortage of transplantable organs is a major global medical challenge, but a medical team from China seems to have found one of the most promising solutions to this problem. “Here, we report a case of pig-to-human lung xenotransplantation (异种移植), in which a lung from a pig was transplanted into a 39-year-old brain-dead male human recipient following a brain haemorrhage (大出血),” the researchers wrote in a study published in the journal Nature Medicine. Before the procedure, the scientists edited six genes of the pig to remove proteins that could trigger severe immune responses in humans, thus reducing rejection risks. In the experimental surgery, the team transplanted the left lung of the gene-edited pig into a brain-dead man, while leaving his original right lung undamaged. Post-surgery monitoring showed the transplanted lung maintained gas exchange functions for up to nine days, without signs of immediate rejection or active infection. However, complications emerged: lung edema (水肿) was observed within 24 hours, and antibody-mediated rejection appeared on day 6, leading to the ending of the experiment on day 9. International experts praised the achievement as a “milestone” in addressing the global shortage of lung donors, though they noted that further research is needed to improve gene editing and immunosuppressive (免疫抑制的) therapies before clinical application. Xenotransplantation technology holds great significance. Taking pigs as donors for xenotransplantation as an example, pig organs are similar to human organs in terms of tissue structure and physiological functions. Meanwhile, pigs have a relatively distant genetic relationship with humans, which reduces the risk of transmitting zoonotic diseases. Additionally, pigs have the advantages of low breeding costs, rich varieties, and excellent reproductive capabilities, making them ideal candidate donors for xenotransplantation. If this technology can be successfully developed and widely applied, it will effectively ease the severe global shortage of organ donors, bringing new hope to a large number of patients waiting for organ transplants and giving them the opportunity to regain their lives. 1．What can we learn from the first three paragraphs? A．The shortage of transplantable organs will soon be solved. B．A lung from a pig saved a brain-dead male human recipient. C．A Chinese medical team saved a man from brain haemorrhage. D．Special gene editing is necessary to reduce potential rejection risks. 2．Which statement about the lung transplant is true? A．It was a total failure and needed more research. B．It was the first case of organ xenotransplantation. C．Lung edema and rejection led to the ending of the experiment. D．The transplanted lung failed to exchange gas in the man’s body. 3．What is the attitude of international experts towards this experiment? A．Negative. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Objective. 4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．Pigs are genetically similar to humans. B．Pigs are perfect for xenotransplantation. C．Xenotransplantation technology is of great importance. D．Xenotransplantation technology still has a long way to go. 四、艺术与疾病治疗 押题1 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 312 世界首个AI音乐治疗舱，包括其工作原理、操作过程以及潜在的应用场景 说明文 细节理解 主旨大意 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Music has long been known for its treating power. When combined with artificial intelligence (AI), this power becomes more precise and widely available. A leading example is the world’s first AI music therapy pod (治疗仓) developed by a group of researchers in a college — Shanghai Conservatory of Music. This idea, shared by Li Xiaomuo, a leader of the Research Institute of the college, resonated (共鸣) throughout the recent World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. The innovative therapy pod represents a mix of technology and art. Everyone’s brainwaves are unique and can be turned into sound through AI algorithms (算法). AI quickly finds personal patterns and creates sound environment based on real-time body signals. To use the pod, users first fill out a personal health form. Inside the pod, they wear devices to monitor brain activity and heart rate, sit in special chairs and watch a screen showing their real-time body data. Relaxing natural sounds like birds or streams are playing around them, creating a calm environment. After each experience, users receive a report and a personalized music recommendation, which can improve focus, aid relaxation, and stabilize heart rates. Experts say the pod has made breakthroughs in using body data to match music, offering dynamic personal treating plans, and combining sound engineering with biosensing (生物传感) and AI. It has potential uses for sleep problems, depression, and even helping children with mental problems or early-born babies. The researchers of the project are now working with hospitals. It will soon be used in mental health centers and Shanghai Huashan Hospital to assist in treating kids with mental problems, relieve pain, and provide psychological comfort for students with exam anxiety. Researchers are also creating virtual reality tools for future cognitive and emotional training. This technology marks a hopeful step forward in making science-based healing through music a reality for more people. 1．What makes the power of music more precise in this study? A．The application of biosensing. B．The personalized treatment plans. C．The advanced screen technology. D．The successful combination with AI. 2．What is the uniqueness of people’s brainwaves used to do? A．Provide a screen with real data. B．Create tailored sound environment. C．Comfort students with exam anxiety. D．Find personal brain patterns with music. 3．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．What makes the pod innovative. B．Where the therapy pod is used.

Once, during a rare quiet moment in the ICU, with permission from my colleagues, I read a couple of poems out loud. I remember watching my colleagues’ eyes close and their bodies visibly relax as the words washed over them. Since then, I have shared poems — my own and others’ — in talks at my institution and across the country. I’ve also led other healthcare providers in creative writing exercises during workshops, lectures and classes. Many institutions host book clubs, story slams, film screenings and other opportunities for medical learners to engage with the humanities (人文学科). While poetry can be frightening to some, many contemporary poems provide approachable emotional experiences. Pieces like Safiya Sinclair’s “Notes on the State of Virginia” fully illustrate how a place that seems innocent or even beautiful to some can be upsetting to others. Monica Sok’s “ABC for Refugees” powerfully paints a portrait of a young child caught between languages and cultures — a reality that many pediatric (儿科的) patients face. “Ode to Small Towns” by Tyree Daye overturns common assumptions about rural life. In “Medical History”, Nicole Sealey shares a patient’s perspective on a part of health care that, for many of my students and colleagues, has been reduced to a series of check boxes on a computer screen. These and other poems provide fertile ground for enhanced understanding of the human condition, as well as inspiration for a clinician’s own potentially transformative reflective writing. The possibilities for cooperation between literature and medicine are wide open. I believe all clinicians have a role in recognizing and dealing with how everyone has been shaped by an unreasonable society. The history, sociopolitical context, imaginative perspective and reflective practices the humanities offer may improve the practice of medicine. Through understanding others’ experiences and reflecting critically on their own, every clinician can move closer to being the kind of healer they intend to be. 1．What can we infer about the author's practice of sharing poems? A．It started in the ICU and has expanded to multiple settings. B．It focuses only on creating original poems for medical teams. C．It has replaced other humanities activities in medical institutions. D．It is mainly carried out through public lectures across the country. 2．Whose poem may change people's beliefs about the countryside? A．Monica Sok’s. B．Tyree Daye’s. C．Safiya Sinclair’s. D．Nicole Sealey’s. 3．What does Nicole Sealey’s work seem to imply? A．Doctors should have better medical skills. B．It's urgent to upgrade the medical equipment.

In the recovery unit of UC San Diego Health, Salaysay helps patients manage pain after surgery. Along with medications, he offers tunes on request and sometimes sings. Patients often smile or nod along. Salaysay even sees changes in their vital signs like lower heart rate and blood pressure, and some may request fewer painkillers. Salaysay is a one-man band, but he’s not alone. Over the past two decades, live performances and recorded music have flowed into hospitals and doctors’ offices as research grows on how songs can help ease pain. The idea of using recorded music to lessen pain associated with dental surgery began in the late 19th century before local anesthetics (麻醉药) were available. Today researchers are studying what conditions make music most effective. Researchers at Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands conducted a study on 548 participants to see how listening to five genres of music—classical, rock, pop, urban and electronic — extended their ability to tolerate acute pain, as measured by exposure to very cold temperatures. “The more people listened to a favorite genre, the more they could tolerate pain,” said co-author Dr. Emy van der Valk Bouman. “A lot of people thought that classical music would help them more. Actually, we are finding more evidence that what’s best is just the music you like.” The exact reasons are still unclear, but it may be because familiar songs activate more memories and emotions, she said. The simple act of choosing is itself powerful, said Claire Howlin, director of the Music and Health Psychology Lab at Trinity College Dublin, who co-authored a study that suggested allowing patients to select songs improved their pain tolerance. “It’s one thing that people can have control over if they have a chronic condition — it gives them agency,” she said. Hanley, the Florida State psychologist, co-authored a preliminary study suggesting daily attentive listening might reduce chronic (慢性的) pain. “Music has a way of lighting up different parts of the brain,” he said, “so you’re giving people this positive emotional bump that takes their mind away from the pain.” It’s a simple prescription (处方) with no side effects, some doctors now say. 1．How does the author lead to the topic of the text?

Though easily neglected, falls have ranked among the leading causes of accidental injuries and deaths in the elderly over the past three decades, said Tian Maoyi, vice dean of the university’s School of Public Health and one of the lead researchers of the study, noting that China now has a considerable size of population aged 60 and above. To address this problem, the research team developed a comprehensive intervention project led by village doctors that included simplified exercises targeting lower limb muscle strength and balance, as well as health education videos narrated in local dialects. In partnership with disease control and prevention centers and medical colleges across multiple provinces, the team conducted a randomized controlled trial involving 2,610 participants aged 60 and above who were at high risk of falling. Wang Yongchen, head of general medicine at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, who was also part of the study, said that only 29.7 percent of participants in the intervention group reported at least one fall, substantially lower than the 38.3 percent in the control group. The fall incidence rate also decreased from 1.4 falls per person per year in the control group to 0.8 in the intervention group, while the injury rate dropped from 21.6 to 15.2 percent. The elderly participants who received the intervention also experienced significant improvements in functional mobility and health-related quality of life, Wang added. He explained that the study employs an approach that utilizes China’s existing primary healthcare network without depending on high-end medical equipment or specialized rehabilitation physicians (康复师). This method could provide a practical healthcare solution for elderly populations in resource-limited countries and regions. 1．What is the “invisible killer” in the text? A．Ignored falls.

Chinese scientists have developed a new “bone glue” called “Bone-02” that can repair broken bones in just three minutes without tools, like screws and plates, or repeat surgeries, reports Global Times. Developed by a research team from East China's Zhejiang Province. “Bone-02” imitates nature’s own engineering to heal broken bones quickly and safely. The development of “Bone-02”was inspired by oysters (牡蛎), which stick stubbornly to underwater surfaces despite waves and constant moisture. Lin Xianfeng, associate chief orthopaedic surgeon at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital and the lead researcher, drew this inspiration after observing the natural phenomenon. Back in 2016, while working as a resident physician, Lin noticed that even the most experienced surgeons needed hours to fix broken bones with far-from-ideal results — this challenge drove him to seek alternatives. Notably, attempts to create bone glues date to the 1940s but were abandoned due to biocompatibility (生物相容性) issues; currently, orthopaedic surgeons only use soft substances to stick broken bones together and fill in gaps between them, but none of these materials truly function as bone glues. “Bone-02” can achieve precise fixation in two to three minutes, even in blood-rich surgical sites. Unlike metal implants (植入物) requiring a second removal operation, the glue is naturally absorbed as bones heal, removing extra risks and procedures. Tested in over 150 patients, laboratory and clinical trials showed it achieved a maximum bonding force over 400 pounds, a shear strength of approximately 0.5 MPa (兆帕), and a compressive strength of around 10 MPa — suggesting the glue could replace traditional steel plates and screws while lowering infection or rejection risks from foreign implants. If successful on a larger scale, “Bone-02” will shorten surgeries, improve recovery times, and spare patients other illnesses. Today, his team’s product may offer what surgeons worldwide have been seeking for decades: a fast, safe, and body-friendly solution to bone repair. 1．What inspired the invention of “Bone-02”? A．Oysters’ external form. B．Oysters’ self-healing method. C．Oysters’ living environment. D．Oysters’ underwater behavior. 2．Why did Lin seek new bone repair methods? A．To develop soft substances. B．To reduce the fee of surgery. C．To improve surgical outcome. D．To help experienced surgeons. 3．What does the data in paragraph 3 indicate? A．The effectiveness of “Bone-02”. B．The great efforts of Lin’s team. C．The risks from foreign implants. D．The accuracy of the trial results. 4．What might Lin’s team do next? A．Cooperate with other researchers. B．Conduct follow-up experiments. C．Study symptoms of other illnesses. D．Seek more body-friendly solutions. 押题2 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 364 基于虚拟现实和视频的疼痛缓解方法及其原理 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 For decades, treatment options for chronic (慢性) pain have been limited, expensive, or inaccessible. Decades of neuroscience show that attention, expectation, and perception play a decisive role in how pain is experienced. This insight has led researchers to unlikely testing grounds: virtual reality (VR) and imagining relief. One of the earliest scientists to explore VR’s potential for pain relief is Hunter Hoffman, a psychologist at the University of Washington. He developed an immersive environment called “Snow World” to help children undergoing burn wound care. In the virtual landscape, patients threw snowballs while listening to music. The program has been shown in many clinical studies to reduce both pain and anxiety during burn wound care. “The driving factor is distraction.” says Zina Trost, a VR pain researcher. “The visual system is so primary in people. And if pain does not have your attention, you are not in pain. This kind of immersive distraction works especially well for short-term pain. Virtual reality isn’t the only way to tap into the brain’s pain-processing systems. Jian Kang, a researcher at Harvard University, is exploring whether watching a video can ease chronic pain. In a November 2025 study, Kang invited individuals with chronic lower back pain to participate and asked them to watch short videos. In one version, a person underwent acupuncture (针灸). In another video, it showed a simple touch with cotton sticks on a lower back. In both cases, participants were asked to imagine experiencing the same bodily experience What surprised the researchers was that both videos helped. The effect was stronger in the video acupuncture group — an average of 1.7 points lower in perceived pain — but the cotton-stick videos also produced meaningful relief. This is comparable to some results for real acupuncture. Neuroscience has found that sensory imagery and real bodily experience often engage the identical brain regions — a finding that could explain how the video produces its effect. VR and video-based approaches are still being studied and their reach remains restricted by awareness and access. But their relatively low cost and ease of use could make them easier to scale. These two approaches are bringing fresh drive to the field. 1．What inspired researchers to test VR and imagining relief? A．The low effectiveness of pain medicine. B．Findings on pain-related mental factors. C．Patients’ demand for cheaper pain care. D．Lack of progress in pain research methods. 2．How does VR help with pain relief according to Zina Trost? A．It reduces long-term pain via music. B．It blocks pain signals in the brain. C．It boosts visual system’s sensitivity. D．It shifts people’s attention from pain. 3．Why can watching videos relieve pain? A．The videos lower patients’ pain expectations. B．Both videos distract patients with pleasant stories. C．Real acupuncture effects are transferred through screens. D．Imagined and real experiences involve the same brain areas. 4．What does the author think about the two approaches? A．Limited but promising. B．Costly but reliable. C．Novel but unsustainable. D．Useful but inflexible. 押题3 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 354 一项关于基因编辑药物的研究，该研究表明单次注射实验性基因编辑药物可安全有效地降低胆固醇，可能为终身有效 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 猜测词义 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 A single infusion (注射) of an experimental gene-editing drug appears safe and effective for cutting cholesterol, possibly for life, according to a small early study released Saturday. The study, which involved 15 volunteers, found one infusion of a drug that uses the CRISPR gene-editing technique could safely reduce cholesterol, as well as levels of harmful triglycerides, by about half. Dr. Luke Laffin, a preventative cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic who helped conduct the study, said, “Rather than a lifetime worth of medicine, we have the potential to give people a cure. It’s very exciting.” The study’s results were presented at the American Heart Association’s annual meeting and published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, killing nearly 700, 000 people every year. One major reason is that many people stop taking their cholesterol-lowering medications. If future research confirms the findings of this study, the gene-editing approach could become a powerful weapon against heart disease, freeing people from the need to take statins and other drugs every day. Yet experts consider that much more research is needed. Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist at Scripps Research, noted that gene-editing is currently expensive and long-term safety is still unclear. “The idea of an inexpensive, one-and-done treatment is a fantasy at the moment,” he said. Other scientists agree that more studies are needed to prove its protection against cardiovascular disease. The treatment involves infusing the drug into the bloodstream so it can travel to the liver and disable a gene called ANGPTL3, which is involved in producing cholesterol and triglycerides. Dr. Steven Nissen, another preventive cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic, explained, “It’s a knockout of the gene. It cuts it. And after that, the gene no longer functions.” Samarth Kulkarni, CEO of CRISPR Therapeutics, which sponsored the study, said the approach “could potentially impact millions of people around the world.” Similar research by Verve Therapeutics in Boston also shows hopeful results. Researchers are now planning larger, longer studies to see if this one-time treatment can safely protect people from heart attacks and strokes for life. 1．What is the advantage of the CRISPR gene-editing drug? A．It reduces triglycerides by more than 70%. B．It has been proven safe for long-term use. C．It needs a single treatment instead of daily intake. D．It can be used to treat a wide range of diseases. 2．What is Dr. Eric Topol’s attitude towards the CRISPR gene- editing treatment? A．Optimistic. B．Cautious. C．Enthusiastic. D．Indifferent. 3．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “knockout” in Paragraph 5? A．A sudden failure. B．A complete removal. C．A temporary pause. D．A minor adjustment. 4．What can be inferred about the future of the gene- editing treatment? A．It will soon replace other daily statins due to its one- time effect. B．It will become accessible to millions of people in the near future. C．It can safely protect people from heart attacks and strokes for life. D．It will have promising future while it requires further research. 押题4 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 327 2毫米微型机器人 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 猜测词义 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shock waves through the medical world. In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of strokes (中风) and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow becomes a matter of life and death. Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks — not only is success unlikely, but the situation may deteriorate. Blood clots may break apart while being pressed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas. However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood. What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels. Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones. 1．What can be inferred about blood clots from paragraph 2? A．They are more common in elderly people. B．They can lead to life-threatening situations. C．They are a rare but serious medical condition.

For a long time, scientists believed anxiety was controlled only by neurons in the brain. However, a new study from the University of Utah has identified an unexpected player: a type of immune cell called microglia (小神经胶质细胞). Researchers discovered that two groups of these cells act like an “accelerator” and a “brake” for anxious behavior, challenging old ideas about how the brain works. Microglia are not typical neurons (神经元) that send signals across the body. Initially, scientists noticed that when they interfered with a specific group of microglia known as Hoxb8, mice became anxious. But confusingly, when they blocked the activity of all microglia at once, the mice behaved normally. This led to a new theory: perhaps the two types of microglia had opposite effects. The Hoxb8 cells might act as a “brake” to prevent anxiety, while other microglia might function as an “accelerator” to promote it. To test this, scientists conducted a unique experiment by moving microglia into mice that lacked these cells entirely. When only the “accelerator” cells (non-Hoxb8) were transplanted, the mice showed high anxiety, such as cleaning themselves too much and avoiding open areas. In contrast, mice given only the “brake” cells (Hoxb8) remained calm. Most importantly, when both types were present, they created a perfect balance, and the mice behaved normally. The “brake” cells effectively canceled out the effects of the “accelerator” cells. This discovery could change the way anxiety disorders are treated. It suggests the brain’s immune system plays a crucial role in mental health. The researchers explain that humans have similar microglia populations. Since most current medicines target neurons, they may not address the root cause. Future treatments could focus on boosting the “brake” cells or reducing the “accelerator” cells, helping patients regain control over their anxiety. This represents a major shift in the field of mental health. 1．What happened to the mice when they received only non-Hoxb8 microglia? A．They lost the ability to clean themselves. B．They showed signs of extreme anxiety. C．They became more interested in open spaces. D．Their anxiety levels remained unchanged. 2．What can be inferred about the current anxiety medications?

While some existing treatments can offer rapid relief, their use is often limited due to serious side effects and a lack of understanding of how they work. For decades, the exact biological processes behind these powerful therapies have remained a mystery, preventing doctors from fully using their benefits and managing their risks. This situation has made developing better treatments a top priority for medical researchers. Now, a breakthrough by Chinese scientists has shed light on this mystery. Using a new observation method, they discovered a common mechanism behind two major therapies. They found that both treatments cause a sharp and lasting increase in a key brain chemical in areas that control mood. This shared starting point was previously unknown and represents a major step forward in understanding how to fight depression more effectively. This discovery is particularly important for one of the treatments, a powerful medicine. The research shows it works mainly by changing cell energy, not through a process previously thought to cause side effects like unpleasant mental experiences. Based on this new understanding, the team has already developed new medicines. In animal tests, these new drugs showed strong antidepressant effects with far fewer side effects, offering hope for safer future treatments. The research has also opened a door to non-drug treatments. Scientists discovered that a simple physical method, a brief and controlled special breathing exercise, can also activate this brain chemical pathway. Animal studies showed this method is both safe and effective, producing a powerful antidepressant effect without medicine. This suggests a completely new, simple, and low-cost way to help people with depression. Building on this finding, a treatment device based on the breathing technique is being developed. Initial tests show it is safe and affordable. The team aims to complete clinical trials and introduce this new therapy to the market in the coming years, promising a new era in the treatment of depression. 1．What does the passage want to convey? A．The effectiveness of different antidepressant drugs. B．A breakthrough in understanding and treating depression. C．The wider use of a specific fast-acting treatment. D．The side effects of current depression therapies. 2．What did the new research reveal about the powerful medicine? A．It works by a process that directly causes side effects. B．Its primary function is related to cell energy changes. C．It is the only treatment that increases the brain chemical. D．Its effects on mood are slower than previously thought. 3．What can be inferred about the new breathing-based therapy? A．It will completely replace the need for medicine. B．It is considered a promising future treatment. C．It is more effective than the drug-based treatments. D．It is already widely used in hospitals across China. 4．Why is the discovery of a common mechanism important? A．It proves that all depression treatments are the same. B．It allows for the creation of safer and improved treatments. C．It shows that physical methods are better than drugs. D．It helps doctors choose the right strategy for individuals. 押题3 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 332 三位科学家在免疫系统工作机制上的突破性发现——调节性T细胞及其关键基因Foxp3 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Three scientists made groundbreaking discoveries on the working mechanism of the immune system (免疫系统). They identified “regulatory T cells,” which function as the immune system’s security guards, preventing immune cells from attacking the body’s own tissues and causing severe autoimmune diseases. The immune system’s primary role is to distinguish foreign microbes (细菌) from the body’s own cells and then attack them. However, microbes can develop similarities to human cells. If this pretence succeeds, it can lead to a form of biological “friendly fire,” where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own cells. It was long believed that the immune system was mainly protected by T cells that can recognize and kill microbes. However, some puzzling autoimmune reactions pointed to the existence of another, more complex regulator. Immunologist Shimon is among the scientists who conducted further research. In 1995, he discovered in mice that there is a particular group of immune cells, which he named “regulatory T cells,” working as the body’s security guards that stop immune cells from attacking self-tissues. Meanwhile in the early 2000s, bio-technologists Brunkow and Ramsdell investigated why a specific type of mouse was particularly sensitive to autoimmune diseases. Their experiments took many years. While mapping a mouse’s genome (基因组) today takes only days, back then it was like looking for a needle in a huge pile of straw. They finally found the source of trouble was a variation of the gene named Foxp3, and further discovered that a similar error in a human’s gene causes IPEX syndrome, a serious autoimmune disease. Afterwards, Shimon linked their research to his own, proving that Foxp3 aids in the creation and the operation of regulatory T cells, ensuring that the immune system is strong enough to fight off microbes and at the same time controlled enough not to injure the body. Their foundational discoveries have paved the way for potential new treatments for autoimmune conditions, as well as more effective cancer treatments and reduced complications after organ transplants. 1．What is the result of “friendly fire”? A．Killing of foreign microbes. B．Wrong attack on human cells. C．Immune cells’ development. D．Microbes’ successful disguise. 2．Why did Shimon conduct the mice research? A．To win an award.

Their paper, to be published soon, demonstrates how sweat samples are easier to work with than traditional testing methods. For most people, sweat is just an annoyance during workouts or hot summer days. But researchers are discovering that those tiny droplets contain a wealth of health information, including markers for diseases, drug use, and even harmful metal exposure. Unlike blood draws that require needles and trained professionals, sweat collection is painless, and can be done continuously using wearable sensors. Actually, doctors have long used it to identify cystic fibrosis, a disease passed down from parents. Recent technological advances have dramatically expanded what sweat can reveal. For people with diabetes who traditionally must prick (扎) their fingers multiple times daily to check blood sugar, sweat glucose (葡萄糖) monitoring could be life-changing. A study involving seven diabetic individuals found a strong link between sweat glucose and blood glucose levels when samples were collected properly to prevent contamination from the skin surface. Parkinson’s disease research has also produced particularly notable results. In one study involving 150 individuals, researchers examined sebum, the oily secretion (分泌物) often mixed with sweat, and found distinct fat-related substances in Parkinson’s patients compared to healthy individuals. These differences in fat composition could serve as disease markers. Modern sweat analysis increasingly relies on wearable sensors: devices that stick to the skin and continuously monitor sweat. Recent innovations have tackled one of the biggest challenges, getting enough sweat for analysis. Some devices now use a technique called iontophoresis that applies mild electrical current to stimulate sweat production on demand, obviating the need to wait for natural sweat. Besides, AI could help get meaningful health predictions from the sensor data, though this also raises questions about computational power, data storage needs, and privacy protections for personal health information. However, challenges remain — sweat composition changes with diet, activity and individuals, and more studies are needed to confirm which sweat markers are helpful for medical checks. 1．What can be learned about sweat testing from paragraph 2?

For a long time, scientists believed these problems were caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. However, Dr. Cohen’s research points to a different root cause: issues with how brain cells produce and use energy. By using new lab techniques to grow living brain cells from patients, his team has discovered that this energy problem is common in many disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This breakthrough could lead to far more effective treatments. The brain is the body’s most energy-demanding organ. Dr. Cohen argues that when this energy supply is disturbed, it affects how brain cells connect and communicate. This energy-based view challenges the old chemical theory. The most hopeful aspect is that these energy defects might be correctable even before a person shows clear signs of illness. This opens a new door for preventing mental health conditions, rather than just trying to manage them after they develop. Beyond the lab, Dr. Cohen also wants to change how mental illnesses are diagnosed. He believes that putting patients into fixed categories with labels like “schizophrenia” is unhelpful. Instead, he advocates for a system that describes a patient’s specific symptoms and experiences. This approach would reduce the shame linked to such labels and give doctors a more precise, scientific understanding of each individual, leading to more personalized care. Dr. Cohen’s influence extends beyond research. As a former hospital president, he successfully improved both patient care and scientific output. His leadership style focused on supporting frontline staff and cutting unnecessary bureaucracy. He proved that combining scientific excellence with compassionate, practical management can transform struggling institutions into world-class centers for healing and discovery. Looking to the future, Dr. Cohen is optimistic. He believes that with new technologies, preventing mental disorders is becoming an achievable goal. He encourages the scientific community to support creative and risky research, not just safe, predictable studies. His vision is a global collaboration where discoveries are shared openly, allowing everyone to work together to solve the mystery of mental illness. 1．Why does Dr. Cohen propose a new diagnostic system? A．To make the diagnostic process quicker for doctors. B．To help patients choose more suitable medicines. C．To group patients for more convenient research. D．To better reflect biological facts and reduce social shame. 2．What can be inferred about the traditional chemical imbalance theory? A．It has been totally proven false by new evidence. B．It was the main focus of Dr. Cohen’s early career. C．It may not fully explain the complexity of mental illness. D．It is still the most effective basis for all treatments. 3．Dr. Cohen’s leadership experience suggests that he values ______. A．financial income above all else B．strict control over research projects C．the well-being of his staff members D．personal management of patient care 4．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To introduce Dr. Cohen’s revolutionary ideas on mental illness. B．To argue that energy problems are the sole cause of brain disorders. C．To compare different methods of treating psychiatric patients. D．To describe the personal difficulties Dr. Cohen overcame. 4 / 4 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 考前猜押07 阅读理解—医疗和健康 1.押题指导原则： 2026年教育部命题指导思想：优化试题呈现方式和素材选取，融入科技前沿动态，浸润人文教育元素，加强项目式、探究式的真实情境问题设计，更好考查学生关键能力、学科素养和思维品质。 2.押题依据分析： 猜押考点 3年真题 词数 话题 考情分析 押题 依据 阅读理解 科普 说明文 2024年全国甲卷阅读C篇 C276 C篇为乡村居民提供基本医疗检查和治疗，改善当地医疗条件 新高考阅读理解医学科普说明文遵循“了解现状—聚焦问题—分析原因—提出建议”的逻辑进行设计，考查学生对每个环节关键内容的准确理解，引导学生培养科学探究精神，提升发现问题、分析问题、解决问题的能力。鲜明地彰显了命题人旨在培养新一代青年学子独立思考、理性判断的教育导向。 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 2024年新高考Ⅰ卷阅读B篇 B298 D威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后，将综合医疗应用于动物，并取得了初步成效 2022年新高考Ⅱ卷阅读D篇 D：348 D篇锻炼对于心脏的好处 押题预测目录 一、中医治疗方法 二、植入芯片技术 三、人工移植手术 四、艺术与疾病治疗 五、预防疾病 六、医学新技术 七、疑难疾病机理研究 一、中医治疗方法 押题1 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 322 拔火罐的操作方式以及背后的治疗原理 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 猜测词义 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Cupping (拔火罐) is an alternative therapy which uses suction (抽吸) to increase blood flow and potentially reduce pain. As well as getting cupping done by a professional, there’s a growing range of at-home cupping devices now available, ranging from silicon cups to smart electronic powered devices. They claim to offer the benefits at home, helping with pain reduction, increased circulation and relaxation. Cupping has been practised for thousands of years, and can be traced back to ancient Chinese and Egyptian medicine. Recently, cupping has become famous as a form of alternative medicine, thanks to the red marks it can leave and celebrity fans like Michael Phelps. Glass, plastic or silicon cups are placed onto the skin for several minutes creating suction on localised areas. It’s thought this encourages blood flow to improve circulation and reduce pain, although there is no firm agreement on how it works and no single theory can explain the full effects of cupping. While it’s popular, there’s only limited scientific evidence on the benefits of cupping. A study found it can be useful to decrease pain levels and improve blood flow to affected areas with low adverse effects. “The suction causes smaller capillaries (毛细血管) in the skin to rupture, causing the circular bruise (瘀伤), and keeping the body in repair mode as the body has to repair these small capillaries and make fresh blood flow to the area days after the treatment,” Dr Tom Ingegno, author of The Cupping Book says. Cupping is low risk, but it’s not suitable for everyone, especially pregnant women, cancer patients and those with organ failure. Cupping is known as a complementary treatment and sports performance coach Arj Thiruchelvam believes that cupping devices do have a place but they should be used as an additional bonus to other methods. “Sleep, nutrition, light cardiovascular work and regular stretching all seem to have a more solid evidence-base for recovery,” he says. 1．Which of the following makes at-home cupping an alternative therapy? A．Its budget-friendly cost. B．Its benefits and convenience. C．Its professional guidance. D．Its safe and labour-saving devices. 2．Why is Michael Phelps mentioned in paragraph 2? A．To tell us the history of cupping. B．To prove how cupping functions. C．To show how cupping gets popular. D．To reveal celebrities’ preferences. 3．What does the underlined word “rupture” mean in paragraph 5? A．Heal. B．Form. C．Bend. D．Break. 4．What does Thiruchelvam think of cupping? A．It is good for skin repair. B．It has a certain positive effect. C．It is suitable for home health care. D．It can’t be replaced by other treatments. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．B 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了拔火罐的操作方式以及背后的治疗原理。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Cupping (拔火罐) is an alternative therapy which uses suction (抽吸) to increase blood flow and potentially reduce pain. As well as getting cupping done by a professional, there’s a growing range of at-home cupping devices now available, ranging from silicon cups to smart electronic powered devices.(拔火罐是一种替代疗法，它利用抽吸作用来促进血液循环，并可能减轻疼痛。除了由专业人士进行拔火罐治疗外，如今市面上还出现了越来越多可在家使用的拔火罐器具，从硅胶罐到智能电子驱动设备应有尽有。)”可知，其安全且省力的设备使家庭拔罐成为一种替代疗法。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“Recently, cupping has become famous as a form of alternative medicine, thanks to the red marks it can leave and celebrity fans like Michael Phelps.(最近，由于拔火罐会留下红色印记，且拥有像迈克尔·菲尔普斯这样的名人粉丝，它作为一种替代疗法而声名大噪。)”可知，第二段中提到迈克尔·菲尔普斯是为了展示拔罐是如何流行起来的。故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“as the body has to repair these small capillaries and make fresh blood flow to the area days after the treatment(因为在治疗结束后的数天内，身体需要修复这些细小的毛细血管，并促使新鲜血液流向该区域)”可知，抽吸会导致皮肤上的小毛细血管破裂，使身体处于修复模式，故划线词rupture意思是“破裂”，和Break意思相近。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Cupping is known as a complementary treatment and sports performance coach Arj Thiruchelvam believes that cupping devices do have a place but they should be used as an additional bonus to other methods. “Sleep, nutrition, light cardiovascular work and regular stretching all seem to have a more solid evidence-base for recovery,” he says.(拔火罐被视为一种辅助疗法，运动表现教练阿尔杰·蒂鲁切尔瓦姆认为，拔火罐器具确实有一席之地，但应作为其他方法的额外补充。他说：“睡眠、营养、轻度有氧运动和定期拉伸似乎都有更坚实的恢复依据。”)”可知，Arj Thiruchelvam认为拔火罐应该用来辅助其他治疗。故选B。 押题2 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 272 介绍中国古代医学哲学及其影响 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Two British professionals, film producer James Eden and acupuncturist (针灸医师) Gerad Kite, have co-authored a new book, The Untapped Self, making ancient Chinese medical philosophy accessible to today’s anxious global audience. Their joint work began when Eden first visited Kite’s London clinic for stress relief, unknowingly starting a journey that would later lead to this joint project. Kite, an experienced specialist with 35 years in the field, describes acupuncture as “one of China’s greatest cultural gifts”. His experience with acupuncture in the 1980s San Francisco changed his life. He left his previous career and went to study under J.R. Worsley, who first brought Chinese acupuncture to the West. Kite uses an approach called five-element acupuncture. This approach works by fixing imbalances in the body to bring back its natural state of balance, not just by dealing with the symptoms. Since starling his London clinic in 1990, Kite has given about 50,000 treatments while teaching around 50 students each year. His new book shares ten patients’ stories showing how acupuncture’s philosophy helps people find calmer, more balanced lives. Co-author Eden brought his own special view — as a long-time meditation (冥想) enthusiast who spent six months at China’s Wudang Mountain learning tai chi and kung fu, which deepened his understanding of Chinese medicine. Both authors feel deeply thankful for China’s medical tradition and value China’s work in connecting traditional wisdom with modern science. “By supporting research,” Kite says, “China shows how ancient wisdom can work alongside modem medicine.” They see their purpose as sharing this healing knowledge, shown by traditional Chinese medicine’s growing worldwide reach through acupuncture, herbs and related practices. 1．What is the book The Untapped Self about? A．Health care. B．Scientific research. C．Film production. D．Personal biography. 2．What can we learn about Kite according to the passage? A．He taught 50 students in his London clinic. B．He devoted much effort to spreading acupuncture. C．He first experienced acupuncture with J.R. Worsley. D．He spent six months learning tai chi and kung fu in China. 3．What is Kite’s attitude towards China’s medical tradition? A．Proud and confident. B．Interested but doubtful. C．Respectful and grateful. D．Impressed but confused. 4．Which can best summarize the passage? A．A popular book, long effect. B．An ancient wisdom, deep impact. C．An acupuncture clinic, great value. D．A professional writer, good insight. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了两位英国专业人士合著新书《未被发掘的自我》，介绍中国古代医学哲学及其影响。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Two British professionals, film producer James Eden and acupuncturist (针灸医师) Gerad Kite, have co-authored a new book, The Untapped Self, making ancient Chinese medical philosophy accessible to today’s anxious global audience.(电影制片人詹姆斯・伊登和针灸师杰拉德・凯特这两位英国专业人士合著了一本新书《未被发掘的自我》，让古代中医哲学为如今焦虑的全球读者所理解)”可知，该书核心围绕中医相关的健康知识展开，属于医疗健康范畴。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Since starling his London clinic in 1990, Kite has given about 50,000 treatments while teaching around 50 students each year. His new book shares ten patients, stories showing how acupuncture’s philosophy helps people find calmer, more balanced lives.(自1990年在伦敦开设诊所以来，凯特已经提供了约5万次治疗，同时每年教授约50名学生。他的新书分享了十个病人的故事，展示了针灸哲学如何帮助人们找到更平静、更平衡的生活)”可知，凯特为传播针灸付出了很多努力。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Both authors feel deeply thankful for China’s medical tradition and value China’s work in connecting traditional wisdom with modern science.(两位作者都对中国医学传统深表感谢，并重视中国在将传统智慧与现代科学相结合方面所做的工作)”可知，凯特对中国医学传统是尊重且感激的。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。全文围绕中医针灸这一古老智慧，介绍其通过书籍传播、临床实践应用，以及与现代科学结合的发展，展现其深远影响。因此B选项“An ancient wisdom, deep impact.(古老智慧，深远影响)”最能概括文章主旨。故选B。 押题3 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 386 自制汤品有助于对抗疟疾的研究，阐述研究过程、结果及科学家对传统草药疗法的重视 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 A new study suggests that some homemade soups — made of chicken, beef or vegetables — might help fight malaria. Jake Baum of the Imperial College London led the research. He asked children at a London school to bring in homemade clear soups that their families would make to treat a fever. The children were from many different cultural backgrounds. The soups were then exposed to the parasite (寄生虫) that creates 99.7 percent of malaria cases in Africa, the World Health Organization, WHO, explained. Of the 56 soups tested, five were more than 50 percent effective in containing the growth of the parasite. Two were as effective as one drug now used to treat malaria. And four soups were more than 50 percent effective at preventing parasites from aging to the point that they could infect mosquitoes that spread the disease. Baum and his team reported their results recently in the publication Archives of Disease in Childhood. “When we started getting soups that worked — in the lab under very restricted conditions — we were really happy and excited,” Baum said in an email to Agence France Presse. Baum also noted that it was unclear which foods made the soups effective against malaria. “If we were serious about going back and finding the ingredient, like good scientists, we’d have to do it in a very standardized way,” he said. The soups came from families from different ethnic histories, including Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. They had several main ingredients, including chicken, beef and green vegetables. Baum said the vegetarian soups showed similar results to the soups with meat. Baum said his aim was in part to show children that scientific research can turn an herbal cure into a man-made medicine. He noted the research of Dr. Tu Youyou of China. In the 1970s, she found that the herb quinhao was an effective antimalarial treatment. The herb has been used in Eastern medicine for two thousand years. Tu’s research led to the manmade drug artemisinin,a drug now widely used to treat malaria. She won the Nobel Prize in 2015. More and more people are becoming resistant to the drugs that treat the disease, which kills about 400,000 people a year. That means scientists will have “look beyond chemistry” and find new drugs, Baum adds. 1．What does paragraph 2 focus on? A．The spread of malaria. B．The growth and aging of parasites. C．The influences of Baum’s research. D．The research findings on homemade soups. 2．What can we infer from Baum’s research? A．The tested soups are not made in the standardized way. B．Meat soups probably outperform vegetarian soups in the lab. C．There’s a long way to go before identifying the things that work. D．Regional characteristics make a big difference in the effect of soups. 3．Why does Baum mention Dr. Tu Youyou in the last paragraph? A．To highlight Dr. Tu’s contributions. B．To recall Dr. Tu’s research process. C．To prove the value of non-chemical cures. D．To reveal the fact of people’s drug resistance. 4．What is Baum’s attitude towards chemical drugs? A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Neutral. D．Unconcerned. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项关于自制汤品有助于对抗疟疾的研究，阐述研究过程、结果及科学家对传统草药疗法的重视。 1．主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Of the 56 soups tested, five were more than 50 percent effective in containing the growth of the parasite. Two were as effective as one drug now used to treat malaria.(在测试的56种汤中，有5种在抑制寄生虫生长方面效果超过50%。有两种与目前用于治疗疟疾的一种药物效果相当。)”可知，第二段重点介绍了关于自制汤品的研究结果。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Baum also noted that it was unclear which foods made the soups effective against malaria. “If we were serious about going back and finding the ingredient, like good scientists, we’d have to do it in a very standardized way,” he said. (鲍姆还指出，目前尚不清楚是哪些食物使这些汤对疟疾有效。他说：“如果我们真的要回去找出有效成分，就必须以非常标准化的方式进行。”)”可知，要确定汤中起作用的物质还有很长的路要走。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Baum said his aim was in part to show children that scientific research can turn an herbal cure into a man-made medicine. He noted the research of Dr. Tu Youyou of China.(鲍姆说，他的部分目的是向孩子们展示科学研究可以将草药疗法转化为人造药物。他提到了中国屠呦呦博士的研究。)”可知，鲍姆提到屠呦呦是为了证明非化学疗法的价值。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“More and more people are becoming resistant to the drugs that treat the disease, which kills about 400,000 people a year. That means scientists will have “look beyond chemistry” and find new drugs, Baum adds. (越来越多的人对治疗这种疾病的药物产生抗药性，这种疾病每年导致约40万人死亡。鲍姆补充说，这意味着科学家们必须“超越化学”，寻找新的药物。)”可知，鲍姆对化学药物持怀疑态度。故选A项。 押题4 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 303 针灸等替代疗法在动物治疗中日益流行 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 “I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unorthodox approach to treating animals. But Dr. Farber is not alone in his belief that alternative therapies like acupuncture can be effective for animals. In fact, the use of such therapies is growing in popularity among veterinarians across the country. One of the main reasons for this trend is the increasing recognition that animals, like humans, can benefit from a holistic approach to health care. Traditional Western medicine often focuses on treating specific symptoms or diseases, while alternative therapies take into account the whole body, mind, and spirit of the animal. This can lead to more comprehensive and long-lasting results. Another factor is the growing body of research that supports the effectiveness of alternative therapies. For example, several studies have shown that acupuncture can be helpful in treating pain, neurological disorders, and other conditions in animals. Massage therapy has also been found to reduce stress and improve circulation, while herbal remedies can boost the immune system and aid in digestion. In addition to these benefits, alternative therapies can also be a more natural and less invasive option for animals. Many pet owners are hesitant to subject their furry friends to harsh chemicals or invasive procedures, and alternative therapies offer a gentler alternative. However, it is important to note that alternative therapies should not be used as a substitute for traditional veterinary care. Instead, they should be used in conjunction with conventional treatments to provide the best possible care for animals. Veterinarians who offer alternative therapies should also be properly trained and certified to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatments. 1．Why does Dr. William Farber seem defensive? A．Because he is really crazy. B．Because he is ahead of his time. C．Because some of his coworkers laugh at his unorthodox approach to treating animals. D．Because he doesn’t believe alternative therapies can be effective for animals. 2．What is the main reason for the growing popularity of alternative therapies among veterinarians? A．The increasing recognition that animals can benefit from a holistic approach to health care. B．The growing body of research that supports the effectiveness of alternative therapies. C．That alternative therapies are more natural and less invasive. D．That many pet owners prefer alternative therapies. 3．What does the author think of alternative therapies? A．They can completely replace traditional veterinary care. B．They should be used in conjunction with traditional veterinary care and veterinarians should be properly trained. C．They are useless and have no scientific basis. D．They are only suitable for some specific animals. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Alternative Therapies for Animals: A Growing Trend B．Dr. William Farber’s Unorthodox Treatment C．The Advantages of Traditional Veterinary Care D．Research on Alternative Therapies for Humans 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了针灸等替代疗法在动物治疗中日益流行，分析了其流行原因、益处，同时指出它不能替代传统兽医护理，需结合使用且从业者需专业培训。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unorthodox approach to treating animals.(如果他看起来有些防备，可能是因为即使是他的一些同事，也偶尔会嘲笑他非传统的动物治疗方法)”可知，他的一些同事会嘲笑他治疗动物的非传统方法，所以他会显得有些防备。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“One of the main reasons for this trend is the increasing recognition that animals, like humans, can benefit from a holistic approach to health care.(这一趋势的主要原因之一是，人们越来越认识到，动物和人类一样，可以从整体健康护理方法中受益)”可知，兽医中替代疗法流行的主要原因是人们越来越认识到动物能从整体医疗方法中获益。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, it is important to note that alternative therapies should not be used as a substitute for traditional veterinary care. Instead, they should be used in conjunction with conventional treatments to provide the best possible care for animals. Veterinarians who offer alternative therapies should also be properly trained and certified to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatments. (然而，值得注意的是，替代疗法不应被用作传统兽医护理的替代品。相反，它们应该与常规治疗结合使用，为动物提供最好的护理。提供替代疗法的兽医也应接受适当的培训和认证，以确保治疗的安全性和有效性)”可知，作者认为替代疗法不应替代传统兽医护理，应与传统治疗结合使用，且提供替代疗法的兽医需经过适当培训和认证。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“In fact, the use of such therapies is growing in popularity among veterinarians across the country.(事实上，这类疗法的使用在全国范围内的兽医中越来越受欢迎)”以及文章内容可知，全文围绕动物替代疗法的流行趋势、原因及使用原则展开，所以“动物替代疗法：一种日益增长的趋势”最贴合主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 二、植入芯片技术 押题1 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 333 科学家通过在患者眼内植入微型电子芯片，帮助患有年龄相关性黄斑变性 (AMD) 的患者恢复部分中心视力 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 猜测词义 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Scientists have made a breakthrough in vision restoration by inserting tiny electronic chips into the back of patients’ eyes. The chips measure just two millimetres wide — about the thickness of a grain of rice. A trial involved 38 patients with an eye disease called age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It mostly affects older people and makes the centre of their vision unclear. About 600,000 people in the UK have AMD． The trial took place at 17 hospitals in five European countries, including the UK. The patients had a type of AMD called “dry AMD”, which damages cells at the back of the eyes that detect light. Those cells transform light into electrical signals for the brain to process vision. When the cells are damaged, people can’t see properly. Currently, there is no cure. The tiny “bionic” chips can give people back some sight. Bionic means a man-made object that acts as a body part. The patients get a pair of glasses with a built-in video camera and a small pocket sized black box that processes the data. When the patients wear the glasses and look at something, the camera captures images and sends the data to the black box, which makes the images clearer. By using infrared signals (红外信号), the information is sent wirelessly to the chip beneath the patients’ retina (视网膜). This chip relays signals through the optic nerve to the brain, which requires some training to understand the images they see. Patients can only see in black and white, but it has greatly elevated the lives of those treated. Seventy-year-old Sheila Irvine was one patient who took part in the trial. She is registered as blind, but now can read books and do crosswords. “It is amazing,” she said in an interview. “I am one happy bunny.” “Blind patients are actually able to have meaningful central vision restoration, which has never been done before,” noted Mahi Mugit, an associate professor at University College London, commenting on the trial’s outcomes. 1．What is the effect of “dry AMD”? A．It results in complete vision loss. B．It mainly impacts young adults. C．It blocks any signal to the brain. D．It harms light-detecting function. 2．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A．How the entire system works. B．Why infrared signals are used. C．When patients train their brains. D．What makes up the electronic chip. 3．What does the underlined word “elevated” in paragraph 6 probably mean? A．Restricted. B．Disturbed. C．Extended. D．Improved. 4．What is Mahi Mugit’s attitude towards the new device? A．Indifferent. B．Doubtful. C．Optimistic. D．Critical. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项视力恢复技术的突破：科学家通过在患者眼内植入微型电子芯片，帮助患有年龄相关性黄斑变性 (AMD) 的患者恢复部分中心视力，并介绍了该技术的工作原理、试验情况以及患者和专家的积极反馈。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“The patients had a type of AMD called ‘dry AMD’, which damages cells at the back of the eyes that detect light.(这些患者患有干性年龄相关性黄斑变性，这种病症会损伤眼后部的感光细胞。)”，即干性AMD损伤眼睛后部的感光细胞，而这些细胞负责感知光线，因此其直接影响是损害感光功能。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。根据第五段“When the patients wear the glasses and look at something, the camera captures images and sends the data to the black box, which makes the images clearer. By using infrared signals (红外信号), the information is sent wirelessly to the chip beneath the patients’ retina (视网膜). This chip relays signals through the optic nerve to the brain, which requires some training to understand the images they see.(患者佩戴该眼镜视物时，摄像头捕捉图像并将数据传至黑盒，黑盒会优化图像清晰度；信息通过红外信号无线传输至患者视网膜下的芯片，芯片再经视神经向大脑传递信号，而大脑需要经过一定训练才能解读看到的图像。)”可知，第五段详细阐述了从患者佩戴眼镜、摄像头捕捉图像，到黑盒子处理数据，再到通过红外信号传输至眼内芯片，最后芯片将信号传至大脑的完整过程。其核心是介绍该仿生视觉系统的工作原理。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据第六段“Seventy-year-old Sheila Irvine was one patient who took part in the trial. She is registered as blind, but now can read books and do crosswords.(70岁的Sheila Irvine是参与此次试验的患者之一，她此前登记为失明，如今已能读书、做填字游戏。)”可知，文章举例提到失明患者Sheila Irvine术后能读书、做填字游戏，该技术极大改善了患者的生活，“elevated”在此处意为“改善、提升”，与“improved”同义。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘Blind patients are actually able to have meaningful central vision restoration, which has never been done before,’ noted Mahi Mugit, an associate professor at University College London, commenting on the trial’s outcomes.(伦敦大学学院副教授Mahi Mugit就试验结果表示：‘失明患者如今能实现有实际意义的中心视力恢复，这在以往是从未实现过的。’)”可知，他对这项新设备的态度是乐观的。故选C。 押题2 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 329 脑机接口(BMI)技术上的突破性进展，通过帮助瘫痪患者恢复自主行动与社会参与能力 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Do you take your ability to pick up a cup of water for granted? For many with high-level paralysis this dream into reality. By using brain-machine interface (BMI) technology, they successfully controlled a power wheelchair and even directed a robotic dog to fetch deliveries — all using only their thoughts. Earlier BMI trials mainly focused on “virtual” control, such as moving computer cursors (光标) to play video games. The new breakthrough represents a giant leap: patients are now interacting with the physical world in three dimensions. This advancement enables levels of self-care and social participation that were previously unattainable. For instance, one patient is now working as an trainee, using brain control to check data for artificial intelligence systems. This shift allows paralyzed individuals to regain a sense of independence and social worth. The technology stands out for its usefulness and slight harm to the body. The implants used are the smallest reported globally — about half the size of similar devices developed by tech giants. They are put in through a 5-millimeter small hole in the skull, making the procedure much safer. To ensure a smooth and continuous experience, the research team reduced the delay between a thought and an action to under 100 milliseconds, which is even faster than the body’s natural neural (神经的) response. Speed and size, however, are not the only goals. The project aims to promote large-scale applications for a broader population, “We expect costs to be highly affordable, similar to purchasing an electronic product,” said Zhao Zhengtuo, a leading scientist of the team. He hopes the procedure will eventually become as simple as an ear piercing. As science advances, the boundary between human thought and machine action is blurring (模糊不清的). Looking ahead, the team anticipates breakthroughs in restoring sensory functions within five years. BMI is offering not only a medical tool, but also a bridge to a more inclusive society where physical limitations no longer mean social isolation (隔离). 1．What can we infer about the two Chinese patients? A．They have recovered from paralysis. B．They could control various robotic devices. C．They managed to do some tasks with BMI. D．They were the first to test BMI technology. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The remarkable advantages of BMI technology. B．The tiny size of the implants used in BMI. C．The neural response speed of the human body. D．The safe procedures for BMI implantation. 3．What do we learn about BMI’s future? A．It will contribute to isolation.

Typically, the organs used for transplantation (移植) are donated by people who passed away but wished to help prolong others’ lives through organ donation. However, the number of patients suffering from kidney disease far exceeds the supply of available kidneys. Right now, just in the United States, roughly 100,000 people are on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. Lately, researchers have turned their attention to pig-to-human transplants. Pigs’ bodies share striking similarities with humans’ in many aspects. Besides, there are many other advantages — including ease of breeding and a rapid growth rate. The human immune (免疫) system rejects non-self tissues, which is the core barrier to cross-species organ transplantation. To deal with it, scientists have experimented with “gene editing” to change pigs’ DNA．They’ve made several changes to it, and even added some things from human DNA．Some kidneys come from pigs with as many as 69 changes to their DNA． Early pig kidney transplants succeeded but only briefly. In 2024, a woman lived with a pig kidney for over four months. Tim Andrews, 67, from New Hampshire, set a new record in October, 2025 by living with a pig kidney for nearly nine months. He is still waiting for a human transplant, but his long success has encouraged many. Now, a company called United Therapeutics has begun a government-approved pig kidney transplant trial. It started with six patients, but could eventually involve 50. The trial’s first transplant was announced in early November 2025, with the successful surgery at NYU Langone Health. Many people have doubts about the trial, thinking it is of little practical use and that its costs are high. However, personally, the pig kidney transplant trial could help scientists answer many questions. It’ll provide new information about the safety — as well as the challenges. It’ll also teach them which gene edits work best. Most importantly, it could help them find ways to help patients live longer with pig transplants. 1．Why is the statistic mentioned in paragraph 2? A．To show the organ donation source. B．To compare transplant success rates. C．To highlight the new trial’s necessity. D．To criticize Americans’ poor health care. 2．Why do researchers conduct gene editing on pig kidneys? A．To make them more fit for use in people. B．To keep them from viruses. C．To copy the features of human kidneys. D．To improve human immunity. 3．What does paragraph 4 try to explain about pig kidney transplants? A．The new trial assumptions. B．The initial achievements. C．The recent patients’ conditions. D．The surgical innovation details. 4．What is the author’s attitude to the trial program? A．Tolerant. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Favorable. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了因人类肾脏供体短缺，美国医生开展猪肾移植试验。通过基因编辑解决排异反应，已有患者生存近九个月。尽管面临质疑，该试验有望延长患者生命并推动医学发展。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“Typically, the organs used for transplantation (移植) are donated by people who passed away but wished to help prolong others’ lives through organ donation. However, the number of patients suffering from kidney disease far exceeds the supply of available kidneys. Right now, just in the United States, roughly 100,000 people are on the waiting list for a kidney transplant.(通常情况下，用于移植的器官是由那些去世但希望通过器官捐献来帮助他人延长生命的人所提供的。然而，患有肾病的患者数量远远超过了可用肾脏的数量。目前，仅在美国，就有大约10万人在等待肾移植的名单上)”可推知，第二段提到的数据是为了突出这个新试验的必要性，因为肾脏供不应求，所以需要探索新的肾脏来源。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“The human immune (免疫) system rejects non-self tissues, which is the core barrier to cross-species organ transplantation. To deal with it, scientists have experimented with “gene editing” to change pigs’ DNA. They’ve made several changes to it, and even added some things from human DNA.(人体免疫系统会排斥非自身组织，这是进行跨物种器官移植的首要障碍。为解决这一问题，科学家们尝试通过“基因编辑”来改变猪的DNA。他们对其进行了多项修改，甚至还添加了一些来自人类DNA的元素)”可知，研究人员对猪的肾脏进行基因编辑是为了使它们更适合用于人类使用。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“Early pig kidney transplants succeeded but only briefly. In 2024, a woman lived with a pig kidney for over four months. Tim Andrews, 67, from New Hampshire, set a new record in October, 2025 by living with a pig kidney for nearly nine months.(早期的猪肾移植取得了成功，但只是短暂的。2024年，有一位女性成功接受了猪肾移植，并且存活了超过四个月。67岁的蒂姆·安德鲁斯来自新罕布什尔州，他在2025年10月创造了新的纪录，成功地将猪肾植入体内并存活了近九个月)”可推知，第四段试图解释猪肾脏移植的初步成果。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, personally, the pig kidney transplant trial could help scientists answer many questions. It’ll provide new information about the safety — as well as the challenges. It’ll also teach them which gene edits work best. Most importantly, it could help them find ways to help patients live longer with pig transplants.(然而，就我个人而言，猪肾脏移植试验能够帮助科学家解答许多问题。它将为安全性（以及面临的挑战）提供新的信息。它还将帮助他们确定哪些基因编辑方法效果最佳。最重要的是，它能够帮助他们找到通过猪器官移植延长患者寿命的方法)”可推知，作者对试验项目持支持的态度。故选D。 押题2 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 323 首个利用患者自身细胞和材料3D打印的完整心脏的突破性进展 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. A transplant (移植) is the only treatment available to patients with end-stage heart failure, but there is a severe shortage of heart donors. That means there’s an urgent need to develop new ways to regenerate a diseased heart. Now the good news is that the world’s first complete 3D-printed heart, made using the patient’s own cells and materials, has been created in a lab. Until now, success has been limited to printing only simple tissues without blood vessels (血管). “This is the first time anyone has successfully printed an entire heart anywhere,” said team leader Tal Dvir. The 3D-printed heart is only about a third the size of an actual human heart and it doesn’t actually work. But it’s a groundbreaking step toward engineering customized (定制的) organs that can be transplanted with less risk of rejection. Dvir noted that scientists have managed to print a 3D structure of a heart before, but not with cells or blood vessels. The use of biological materials from a patient is key to successful engineering of tissues and organs. Ideally, the biomaterial should possess the same biochemical and mechanical properties of the patients’ own tissues. This way, their bodies will be less likely to reject the organ, making transplants much safer. While the 3D-printed heart is about a third the size of a human heart, the same technology can be used to print a normal-sized one. The team’s next step is to culture (培养) printed hearts in the lab and “teach them to behave” like real hearts. Then, researchers plan to transplant the 3D-printed heart into lab animals. “Our results demonstrate the potential of our approach to engineering personalized tissue and organ replacement in the future,” Dvir said. “Maybe in 10 years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world, and these procedures will be conducted routinely.” 1．What can be inferred from the world’s first complete 3D-printed heart? A．It makes organ transplants risk-free. B．It bridges gaps in biological organ printing. C．It solves the donor shortage for heart transplants. D．It has the same properties as natural heart tissues. 2．What does Dvir imply about the previous 3D-printed heart structures in paragraph 3? A．They were ready for transplant to animals. B．They matched the size of real human hearts. C．They lacked cell-based biological components. D．They contained complete blood vessel networks. 3．What will Dvir’s team do in the future? A．They will first test printed hearts on humans. B．They will focus on curing early heart failure. C．They will change the biological materials used. D．They will improve the heart’s functional performance. 4．What’s Dvir’s attitude towards the 3D printing technology? A．Positive. B．Doubtful. C．Negative. D．Indifferent. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 【解析】本文是一篇科技类说明文，主要介绍了世界上首个利用患者自身细胞和材料3D打印的完整心脏的突破性进展，并展望了该技术在器官移植领域的应用前景。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Until now, success has been limited to printing only simple tissues without blood vessels (血管). “This is the first time anyone has successfully printed an entire heart anywhere,” said team leader Tal Dvir.(到目前为止，所取得的成果仅仅是能够打印出不含血管的简单组织。团队负责人塔尔·德维尔表示：“这是首次有人在某地成功打印出完整的心脏。”)”可知，这是首次有人成功打印出完整心脏，此前仅能打印无血管的简单组织，因此推断该成果填补了生物器官打印的空白。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Dvir noted that scientists have managed to print a 3D structure of a heart before, but not with cells or blood vessels.( Dvir指出，科学家们此前确实曾成功打印出心脏的三维结构，但所使用的并非细胞和血管。)”可知，科学家此前打印的心脏结构不含细胞或血管，说明过去的打印结构缺乏生物细胞成分。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第五段“The team’s next step is to culture (培养) printed hearts in the lab and “teach them to behave” like real hearts.(该团队接下来的步骤是在实验室中培养打印心脏，并“教会它们像真正的心脏那样运作”。)”可知，团队下一步将培养打印心脏并教会它们像真实心脏一样工作，因此推断他们将改善心脏的功能性能。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章末段Dvir的发言““Our results demonstrate the potential of our approach to engineering personalized tissue and organ replacement in the future,” Dvir said. “Maybe in 10 years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world, and these procedures will be conducted routinely.”(Dvir说“我们的研究结果表明，我们的方法在实现个性化组织和器官替换方面具有潜在应用价值。也许在十年后，世界各地顶尖的医院里将会配备器官打印设备，相关手术也将成为常规操作。”)”可知，我们的成果展示了未来个性化器官替代的潜力，及对10年后器官打印机普及的乐观预测，可见其态度是积极肯定的。故选A。 押题3 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 326 猪肺异种移植实验及该技术意义 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 The shortage of transplantable organs is a major global medical challenge, but a medical team from China seems to have found one of the most promising solutions to this problem. “Here, we report a case of pig-to-human lung xenotransplantation (异种移植), in which a lung from a pig was transplanted into a 39-year-old brain-dead male human recipient following a brain haemorrhage (大出血),” the researchers wrote in a study published in the journal Nature Medicine. Before the procedure, the scientists edited six genes of the pig to remove proteins that could trigger severe immune responses in humans, thus reducing rejection risks. In the experimental surgery, the team transplanted the left lung of the gene-edited pig into a brain-dead man, while leaving his original right lung undamaged. Post-surgery monitoring showed the transplanted lung maintained gas exchange functions for up to nine days, without signs of immediate rejection or active infection. However, complications emerged: lung edema (水肿) was observed within 24 hours, and antibody-mediated rejection appeared on day 6, leading to the ending of the experiment on day 9. International experts praised the achievement as a “milestone” in addressing the global shortage of lung donors, though they noted that further research is needed to improve gene editing and immunosuppressive (免疫抑制的) therapies before clinical application. Xenotransplantation technology holds great significance. Taking pigs as donors for xenotransplantation as an example, pig organs are similar to human organs in terms of tissue structure and physiological functions. Meanwhile, pigs have a relatively distant genetic relationship with humans, which reduces the risk of transmitting zoonotic diseases. Additionally, pigs have the advantages of low breeding costs, rich varieties, and excellent reproductive capabilities, making them ideal candidate donors for xenotransplantation. If this technology can be successfully developed and widely applied, it will effectively ease the severe global shortage of organ donors, bringing new hope to a large number of patients waiting for organ transplants and giving them the opportunity to regain their lives. 1．What can we learn from the first three paragraphs? A．The shortage of transplantable organs will soon be solved. B．A lung from a pig saved a brain-dead male human recipient. C．A Chinese medical team saved a man from brain haemorrhage. D．Special gene editing is necessary to reduce potential rejection risks. 2．Which statement about the lung transplant is true? A．It was a total failure and needed more research. B．It was the first case of organ xenotransplantation. C．Lung edema and rejection led to the ending of the experiment. D．The transplanted lung failed to exchange gas in the man’s body. 3．What is the attitude of international experts towards this experiment? A．Negative. B．Positive. C．Doubtful. D．Objective. 4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．Pigs are genetically similar to humans. B．Pigs are perfect for xenotransplantation. C．Xenotransplantation technology is of great importance. D．Xenotransplantation technology still has a long way to go. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国医疗团队进行猪肺异种移植实验及该技术意义。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“Before the procedure, the scientists edited six genes of the pig to remove proteins that could trigger severe immune responses in humans, thus reducing rejection risks.(在手术前，科学家们编辑了猪的六个基因，以去除可能引发人类严重免疫反应的蛋白质，从而降低排斥风险。)”可知，特殊的基因编辑对于降低潜在的排斥风险是必要的。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“However, complications emerged: lung edema (水肿) was observed within 24 hours, and antibody-mediated rejection appeared on day 6, leading to the ending of the experiment on day 9.(然而，出现了并发症：24小时内观察到肺水肿，第6天出现抗体介导的排斥反应，导致实验在第9天结束。)”可知，肺水肿和排斥反应导致实验结束。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第六段“International experts praised the achievement as a “milestone” in addressing the global shortage of lung donors, though they noted that further research is needed to improve gene editing and immunosuppressive (免疫抑制的) therapies before clinical application.(国际专家称赞这一成就是解决全球肺供体短缺问题的一个“里程碑”，尽管他们指出，在临床应用之前，还需要进一步研究以改进基因编辑和免疫抑制疗法。)”可知，专家既肯定了成果，又指出了不足，态度客观。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Xenotransplantation technology holds great significance.

When combined with artificial intelligence (AI), this power becomes more precise and widely available. A leading example is the world’s first AI music therapy pod (治疗仓) developed by a group of researchers in a college — Shanghai Conservatory of Music. This idea, shared by Li Xiaomuo, a leader of the Research Institute of the college, resonated (共鸣) throughout the recent World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. The innovative therapy pod represents a mix of technology and art. Everyone’s brainwaves are unique and can be turned into sound through AI algorithms (算法). AI quickly finds personal patterns and creates sound environment based on real-time body signals. To use the pod, users first fill out a personal health form. Inside the pod, they wear devices to monitor brain activity and heart rate, sit in special chairs and watch a screen showing their real-time body data. Relaxing natural sounds like birds or streams are playing around them, creating a calm environment. After each experience, users receive a report and a personalized music recommendation, which can improve focus, aid relaxation, and stabilize heart rates. Experts say the pod has made breakthroughs in using body data to match music, offering dynamic personal treating plans, and combining sound engineering with biosensing (生物传感) and AI. It has potential uses for sleep problems, depression, and even helping children with mental problems or early-born babies. The researchers of the project are now working with hospitals. It will soon be used in mental health centers and Shanghai Huashan Hospital to assist in treating kids with mental problems, relieve pain, and provide psychological comfort for students with exam anxiety. Researchers are also creating virtual reality tools for future cognitive and emotional training. This technology marks a hopeful step forward in making science-based healing through music a reality for more people. 1．What makes the power of music more precise in this study?

Once, during a rare quiet moment in the ICU, with permission from my colleagues, I read a couple of poems out loud. I remember watching my colleagues’ eyes close and their bodies visibly relax as the words washed over them. Since then, I have shared poems — my own and others’ — in talks at my institution and across the country. I’ve also led other healthcare providers in creative writing exercises during workshops, lectures and classes. Many institutions host book clubs, story slams, film screenings and other opportunities for medical learners to engage with the humanities (人文学科). While poetry can be frightening to some, many contemporary poems provide approachable emotional experiences. Pieces like Safiya Sinclair’s “Notes on the State of Virginia” fully illustrate how a place that seems innocent or even beautiful to some can be upsetting to others. Monica Sok’s “ABC for Refugees” powerfully paints a portrait of a young child caught between languages and cultures — a reality that many pediatric (儿科的) patients face. “Ode to Small Towns” by Tyree Daye overturns common assumptions about rural life. In “Medical History”, Nicole Sealey shares a patient’s perspective on a part of health care that, for many of my students and colleagues, has been reduced to a series of check boxes on a computer screen. These and other poems provide fertile ground for enhanced understanding of the human condition, as well as inspiration for a clinician’s own potentially transformative reflective writing. The possibilities for cooperation between literature and medicine are wide open. I believe all clinicians have a role in recognizing and dealing with how everyone has been shaped by an unreasonable society. The history, sociopolitical context, imaginative perspective and reflective practices the humanities offer may improve the practice of medicine. Through understanding others’ experiences and reflecting critically on their own, every clinician can move closer to being the kind of healer they intend to be. 1．What can we infer about the author's practice of sharing poems? A．It started in the ICU and has expanded to multiple settings. B．It focuses only on creating original poems for medical teams. C．It has replaced other humanities activities in medical institutions. D．It is mainly carried out through public lectures across the country. 2．Whose poem may change people's beliefs about the countryside? A．Monica Sok’s. B．Tyree Daye’s. C．Safiya Sinclair’s. D．Nicole Sealey’s. 3．What does Nicole Sealey’s work seem to imply? A．Doctors should have better medical skills. B．It's urgent to upgrade the medical equipment. C．There's room for improvement in medical care. D．A patient can be treated from different perspectives. 4．Which statement does the author probably agree with? A．The humanities help make a better doctor. B．The clinicians are to shape our future society. C．Doctors must learn from each other’s experiences. D．Reflective writing greatly benefits a doctor’s skills. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 【解析】这是一篇议论文。作者通过分享诗歌和人文活动在医疗环境中的实践，论证了人文学科（如诗歌、反思写作）能帮助临床医生更好地理解患者、改善医疗实践，并成为更有共情的治愈者。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“As a senior resident, I often distributed poems to my team, printing and posting them above the computers in our hospital workrooms. Once, during a rare quiet moment in the ICU, with permission from my colleagues, I read a couple of poems out loud. (作为一名资深住院医师，我经常给我的团队分发诗歌，并将它们打印出来张贴在我们医院工作室的电脑上方。有一次，在重症监护室难得的安静时刻，在同事的允许下，我大声朗读了几首诗。)”和第二段“Since then, I have shared poems — my own and others’ — in talks at my institution and across the country. I' ve also led other healthcare providers in creative writing exercises during workshops, lectures and classes. (从那以后，我在自己所在的机构以及全国各地的演讲中分享了诗歌——包括我自己的和他人的。我还曾在研讨会、讲座和课堂上带领其他医疗保健提供者进行创意写作练习。)”可知，作者分享诗歌的做法它始于重症监护室，并已扩展到多种环境。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘Ode to Small Towns’ by Tyree Daye overturns common assumptions about rural life. (Tyree Daye的《小镇颂》颠覆了人们对乡村生活的普遍看法。)”可知，Tyree Daye的诗能改变人们对乡村的普遍看法。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In‘Medical History’, Nicole Sealey shares a patient’ s perspective on a part of health care that, for many of my students and colleagues, has been reduced to a series of check boxes on a computer screen.

In the recovery unit of UC San Diego Health, Salaysay helps patients manage pain after surgery. Along with medications, he offers tunes on request and sometimes sings. Patients often smile or nod along. Salaysay even sees changes in their vital signs like lower heart rate and blood pressure, and some may request fewer painkillers. Salaysay is a one-man band, but he’s not alone. Over the past two decades, live performances and recorded music have flowed into hospitals and doctors’ offices as research grows on how songs can help ease pain. The idea of using recorded music to lessen pain associated with dental surgery began in the late 19th century before local anesthetics (麻醉药) were available. Today researchers are studying what conditions make music most effective. Researchers at Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands conducted a study on 548 participants to see how listening to five genres of music—classical, rock, pop, urban and electronic — extended their ability to tolerate acute pain, as measured by exposure to very cold temperatures. “The more people listened to a favorite genre, the more they could tolerate pain,” said co-author Dr. Emy van der Valk Bouman. “A lot of people thought that classical music would help them more. Actually, we are finding more evidence that what’s best is just the music you like.” The exact reasons are still unclear, but it may be because familiar songs activate more memories and emotions, she said. The simple act of choosing is itself powerful, said Claire Howlin, director of the Music and Health Psychology Lab at Trinity College Dublin, who co-authored a study that suggested allowing patients to select songs improved their pain tolerance. “It’s one thing that people can have control over if they have a chronic condition — it gives them agency,” she said. Hanley, the Florida State psychologist, co-authored a preliminary study suggesting daily attentive listening might reduce chronic (慢性的) pain. “Music has a way of lighting up different parts of the brain,” he said, “so you’re giving people this positive emotional bump that takes their mind away from the pain.” It’s a simple prescription (处方) with no side effects, some doctors now say. 1．How does the author lead to the topic of the text?

In the recovery unit of UC San Diego Health, Salaysay helps patients manage pain after surgery. Along with medications, he offers tunes on request and sometimes sings. Patients often smile or nod along. Salaysay even sees changes in their vital signs like lower heart rate and blood pressure, and some may request fewer painkillers.(罗德·萨拉赛护士在医院里使用各种仪器工作。在加州大学圣地亚哥健康中心的康复病房，萨拉赛帮助术后患者缓解疼痛。除了药物治疗，他还会根据要求播放曲子，有时还会唱歌。患者们常常会微笑着点头附和。萨拉赛甚至能看到他们生命体征的变化，比如心率和血压降低，有些患者可能会要求减少止痛药的用量)”可知，作者通过讲述护士Salaysay用音乐帮助患者缓解疼痛的真实事例，引出下文音乐与缓解疼痛相关的话题。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段中的““The more people listened to a favorite genre, the more they could tolerate pain,” said co-author Dr. Emy van der Valk Bouman. “A lot of people thought that classical music would help them more. Actually, we are finding more evidence that what’s best is just the music you like.”(该研究的合著者艾米·范德瓦尔克·布曼博士说：“人们越听自己喜欢的音乐类型，就越能忍受疼痛。很多人认为古典音乐会对他们帮助更大。事实上，我们发现越来越多的证据表明，最好的音乐就是你喜欢的音乐。”)”可知，鹿特丹伊拉斯姆斯大学的研究发现，最能提高疼痛耐受性的是听者喜欢的音乐类型。故选C项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Hanley, the Florida State psychologist, co-authored a preliminary study suggesting daily attentive listening might reduce chronic (慢性的) pain. “Music has a way of lighting up different parts of the brain,” he said, “so you’re giving people this positive emotional bump that takes their mind away from the pain.”(佛罗里达州立大学的心理学家汉利共同撰写了一项初步研究，该研究表明，每天专注聆听音乐可能会减轻慢性疼痛。他说：“音乐有一种点亮大脑不同区域的方式，所以你给人们带来这种积极的情绪冲击，让他们的注意力从疼痛上移开。”)”可推断，汉利很可能会认同“专注聆听音乐可能会缓解疼痛”这一观点。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段以护士Salaysay的事例引出“音乐帮助患者缓解疼痛”的话题；第二段介绍音乐用于缓解疼痛的历史开端；第三至六段围绕不同研究展开，说明喜欢的音乐、专注聆听音乐对缓解疼痛的作用及相关原因。结合第一段句子“Salaysay helps patients manage pain after surgery. Along with medications, he offers tunes on request and sometimes sings.(萨拉赛帮助术后患者缓解疼痛。除了药物治疗，他还会根据要求播放曲子，有时还会唱歌)”和“research grows on how songs can help ease pain.(关于歌曲如何帮助缓解疼痛的研究越来越多)”可知，本文主要围绕音乐如何帮助患者缓解疼痛展开。D项“音乐如何帮助患者缓解疼痛”，精准概括全文主旨，是最适合的标题。故选D项。 五、预防疾病 押题 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 317 简易锻炼加上定制宣教融入基层公卫服务可降低农村老人跌倒风险，方案低成本高效，适用于资源匮乏地区 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 A study by China’s Harbin Medical University has found that integrating simplified exercise training and tailored health education into the country’s basic public health services can significantly reduce fall risks among rural elderly, tackling the “invisible killer” that affects the senior population. Though easily neglected, falls have ranked among the leading causes of accidental injuries and deaths in the elderly over the past three decades, said Tian Maoyi, vice dean of the university’s School of Public Health and one of the lead researchers of the study, noting that China now has a considerable size of population aged 60 and above. To address this problem, the research team developed a comprehensive intervention project led by village doctors that included simplified exercises targeting lower limb muscle strength and balance, as well as health education videos narrated in local dialects. In partnership with disease control and prevention centers and medical colleges across multiple provinces, the team conducted a randomized controlled trial involving 2,610 participants aged 60 and above who were at high risk of falling. Wang Yongchen, head of general medicine at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, who was also part of the study, said that only 29.7 percent of participants in the intervention group reported at least one fall, substantially lower than the 38.3 percent in the control group. The fall incidence rate also decreased from 1.4 falls per person per year in the control group to 0.8 in the intervention group, while the injury rate dropped from 21.6 to 15.2 percent. The elderly participants who received the intervention also experienced significant improvements in functional mobility and health-related quality of life, Wang added. He explained that the study employs an approach that utilizes China’s existing primary healthcare network without depending on high-end medical equipment or specialized rehabilitation physicians (康复师). This method could provide a practical healthcare solution for elderly populations in resource-limited countries and regions. 1．What is the “invisible killer” in the text? A．Ignored falls. B．Deadly injuries. C．Various accidents. D．Serious diseases. 2．What did the research team do to settle the problem? A．They built new health centers in villages. B．They used instructive videos and easier exercises. C．They trained specialized rehabilitation physicians. D．They provided high-end equipment and better medicine. 3．Why did the team conduct a randomized controlled trial? A．To collect data from different groups. B．To study causes of falls in the elderly. C．To test the effect of the intervention project. D．To assess overall health quality of participants. 4．What is Wang’s attitude toward the prospect of the approach? A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Dismissive. D．Optimistic. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了哈尔滨医科大学研究发现，简易锻炼加上定制宣教融入基层公卫服务可降低农村老人跌倒风险，方案低成本高效，适用于资源匮乏地区。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“A study by China’s Harbin Medical University has found that integrating simplified exercise training and tailored health education into the country’s basic public health services can significantly reduce fall risks among rural elderly, tackling the “invisible killer” that affects the senior population.(中国哈尔滨医科大学的一项研究发现，将简化的锻炼训练和个性化的健康教育纳入该国的基本公共卫生服务中，能够显著降低农村老年人的跌倒风险，从而应对影响老年人群体的这一“隐形杀手”)”以及第二段“Though easily neglected, falls have ranked among the leading causes of accidental injuries and deaths in the elderly over the past three decades, said Tian Maoyi, vice dean of the university’s School of Public Health and one of the lead researchers of the study, noting that China now has a considerable size of population aged 60 and above.(该校公共卫生学院副院长田茂义表示，尽管人们往往容易忽视这一问题，但过去三十年来，跌倒一直是导致老年人意外伤害和死亡的主要原因之一。他同时指出，中国目前有相当数量的60岁及以上老年人口)”可知，“隐形杀手”是指被忽视的跌倒事件。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“To address this problem, the research team developed a comprehensive intervention project led by village doctors that included simplified exercises targeting lower limb muscle strength and balance, as well as health education videos narrated in local dialects.(为解决这一问题，研究团队制定了一个由村医主导的综合干预项目，其中包括针对下肢肌肉力量和平衡能力的简易训练项目，以及用当地方言录制的健康教育视频)”可知，研究团队采用了示范视频和简单的练习方法解决这个问题。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Wang Yongchen, head of general medicine at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, who was also part of the study, said that only 29.7 percent of participants in the intervention group reported at least one fall, substantially lower than the 38.3 percent in the control group. The fall incidence rate also decreased from 1.4 falls per person per year in the control group to 0.8 in the intervention group, while the injury rate dropped from 21.6 to 15.2 percent.(哈尔滨医科大学附属第二医院全科医学科主任王永晨也是该研究的参与者之一，他表示，干预组仅有29.7% 的受试者报告至少发生过一次跌倒，远低于对照组的38.3%。跌倒发生率也从对照组每人每年1.4次降至干预组的0.8次，而受伤率则从21.6% 下降至15.2%)”可知，这个团队要进行一项随机对照试验是为了以检验该干预项目的成效。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“He explained that the study employs an approach that utilizes China’s existing primary healthcare network without depending on high-end medical equipment or specialized rehabilitation physicians. This method could provide a practical healthcare solution for elderly populations in resource-limited countries and regions.(他解释说，该研究采用了一种无需依赖高端医疗设备或专业康复医生的模式，而是利用了中国现有的初级医疗保健网络。这种方法能够为资源匮乏的国家和地区的老年人群体提供切实可行的医疗解决方案)”可知，他对于这种方法的前景持乐观态度。故选D。 六、医学新技术 押题1 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 323 中国科学家研发的一种新型“骨胶水（Bone-02）”，它能在3分钟内快速修复骨折 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Breaking a bone could soon mean a far quicker recovery. Chinese scientists have developed a new “bone glue” called “Bone-02” that can repair broken bones in just three minutes without tools, like screws and plates, or repeat surgeries, reports Global Times. Developed by a research team from East China's Zhejiang Province. “Bone-02” imitates nature’s own engineering to heal broken bones quickly and safely. The development of “Bone-02”was inspired by oysters (牡蛎), which stick stubbornly to underwater surfaces despite waves and constant moisture. Lin Xianfeng, associate chief orthopaedic surgeon at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital and the lead researcher, drew this inspiration after observing the natural phenomenon. Back in 2016, while working as a resident physician, Lin noticed that even the most experienced surgeons needed hours to fix broken bones with far-from-ideal results — this challenge drove him to seek alternatives. Notably, attempts to create bone glues date to the 1940s but were abandoned due to biocompatibility (生物相容性) issues; currently, orthopaedic surgeons only use soft substances to stick broken bones together and fill in gaps between them, but none of these materials truly function as bone glues. “Bone-02” can achieve precise fixation in two to three minutes, even in blood-rich surgical sites. Unlike metal implants (植入物) requiring a second removal operation, the glue is naturally absorbed as bones heal, removing extra risks and procedures. Tested in over 150 patients, laboratory and clinical trials showed it achieved a maximum bonding force over 400 pounds, a shear strength of approximately 0.5 MPa (兆帕), and a compressive strength of around 10 MPa — suggesting the glue could replace traditional steel plates and screws while lowering infection or rejection risks from foreign implants. If successful on a larger scale, “Bone-02” will shorten surgeries, improve recovery times, and spare patients other illnesses. Today, his team’s product may offer what surgeons worldwide have been seeking for decades: a fast, safe, and body-friendly solution to bone repair. 1．What inspired the invention of “Bone-02”? A．Oysters’ external form. B．Oysters’ self-healing method. C．Oysters’ living environment. D．Oysters’ underwater behavior. 2．Why did Lin seek new bone repair methods? A．To develop soft substances. B．To reduce the fee of surgery. C．To improve surgical outcome. D．To help experienced surgeons. 3．What does the data in paragraph 3 indicate? A．The effectiveness of “Bone-02”. B．The great efforts of Lin’s team. C．The risks from foreign implants. D．The accuracy of the trial results. 4．What might Lin’s team do next? A．Cooperate with other researchers. B．Conduct follow-up experiments. C．Study symptoms of other illnesses. D．Seek more body-friendly solutions. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【解析】本文为一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了中国科学家研发的一种新型“骨胶水（Bone-02）”，它能在3分钟内快速修复骨折，无需传统钢板、螺钉或二次手术。该技术的灵感来源于牡蛎在水下牢固附着的特性，由浙江的研究团队开发，具有高粘合力、生物可吸收性，并已在150多名患者中成功测试。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“The development of “Bone-02”was inspired by oysters (牡蛎), which stick stubbornly to underwater surfaces despite waves and constant moisture.(“骨胶水（Bone-02）”的灵感源自牡蛎——这种生物能在海浪和潮湿环境中牢固附着于水下表面。)”可知，骨胶水（Bone-02）的灵感来自牡蛎在水下牢固附着的行为，尽管有波浪和持续的湿度，牡蛎仍能粘附在水下表面。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Back in 2016, while working as a resident physician, Lin noticed that even the most experienced surgeons needed hours to fix broken bones with far-from-ideal results—this challenge drove him to seek alternatives.(2016年，林医生在担任住院医师时发现，即使经验最丰富的外科医生也需要数小时修复骨折，且效果不佳，这一难题促使他寻找替代方案。)”可知，林医生在2016年观察到，即使最有经验的外科医生也需要数小时固定骨折，且效果不理想，这促使他寻找替代方案。因此，他的目标是改善手术效果。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“Tested in over 150 patients, laboratory and clinical trials showed it achieved a maximum bonding force over 400 pounds, a shear strength of approximately 0.5 MPa (兆帕), and a compressive strength of around 10 MPa—suggesting the glue could replace traditional steel plates and screws while lowering infection or rejection risks from foreign implants.(经150余例患者测试，实验室与临床试验显示其最大粘合力超400磅，剪切强度约0.5兆帕，抗压强度约10兆帕，这表明该材料有望替代传统钢板螺钉，同时降低植入物感染或排异风险。)”可知，400磅的粘合力、0.5兆帕的剪切强度和10兆帕的抗压强度直接证明了骨胶水（Bone-02）的力学性能，表明其可替代传统钢板和螺钉，因此体现了其有效性。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“If successful on a larger scale, “Bone-02” will shorten surgeries, improve recovery times, and spare patients other illnesses. (若大规模应用成功，骨胶水（Bone-02）将缩短手术时间、加速康复，并减少并发症。)”可知，文中提到骨胶水（Bone-02）已在150多名患者中测试，但需更大规模验证，因此下一步可能是继续后续实验。故选B。 押题2 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 364 基于虚拟现实和视频的疼痛缓解方法及其原理 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 For decades, treatment options for chronic (慢性) pain have been limited, expensive, or inaccessible. Decades of neuroscience show that attention, expectation, and perception play a decisive role in how pain is experienced. This insight has led researchers to unlikely testing grounds: virtual reality (VR) and imagining relief. One of the earliest scientists to explore VR’s potential for pain relief is Hunter Hoffman, a psychologist at the University of Washington. He developed an immersive environment called “Snow World” to help children undergoing burn wound care. In the virtual landscape, patients threw snowballs while listening to music. The program has been shown in many clinical studies to reduce both pain and anxiety during burn wound care. “The driving factor is distraction.” says Zina Trost, a VR pain researcher. “The visual system is so primary in people. And if pain does not have your attention, you are not in pain. This kind of immersive distraction works especially well for short-term pain. Virtual reality isn’t the only way to tap into the brain’s pain-processing systems. Jian Kang, a researcher at Harvard University, is exploring whether watching a video can ease chronic pain. In a November 2025 study, Kang invited individuals with chronic lower back pain to participate and asked them to watch short videos. In one version, a person underwent acupuncture (针灸). In another video, it showed a simple touch with cotton sticks on a lower back. In both cases, participants were asked to imagine experiencing the same bodily experience What surprised the researchers was that both videos helped. The effect was stronger in the video acupuncture group — an average of 1.7 points lower in perceived pain — but the cotton-stick videos also produced meaningful relief. This is comparable to some results for real acupuncture. Neuroscience has found that sensory imagery and real bodily experience often engage the identical brain regions — a finding that could explain how the video produces its effect. VR and video-based approaches are still being studied and their reach remains restricted by awareness and access. But their relatively low cost and ease of use could make them easier to scale. These two approaches are bringing fresh drive to the field. 1．What inspired researchers to test VR and imagining relief? A．The low effectiveness of pain medicine. B．Findings on pain-related mental factors. C．Patients’ demand for cheaper pain care. D．Lack of progress in pain research methods. 2．How does VR help with pain relief according to Zina Trost? A．It reduces long-term pain via music. B．It blocks pain signals in the brain. C．It boosts visual system’s sensitivity. D．It shifts people’s attention from pain. 3．Why can watching videos relieve pain? A．The videos lower patients’ pain expectations. B．Both videos distract patients with pleasant stories. C．Real acupuncture effects are transferred through screens. D．Imagined and real experiences involve the same brain areas. 4．What does the author think about the two approaches? A．Limited but promising. B．Costly but reliable. C．Novel but unsustainable. D．Useful but inflexible. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了基于虚拟现实和视频的疼痛缓解方法及其原理和潜在应用前景。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Decades of neuroscience show that attention, expectation, and perception play a decisive role in how pain is experienced. This insight has led researchers to unlikely testing grounds: virtual reality (VR) and imagining relief.(几十年的神经科学研究表明，注意力、期望和感知在疼痛体验中起着决定性作用。这一见解促使研究人员将虚拟现实（VR）和想象缓解疼痛作为不太可能的测试领域。)”可知，关于疼痛相关的心理因素的发现促使研究人员测试虚拟现实和想象缓解疼痛。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中““The driving factor is distraction.” says Zina Trost, a VR pain researcher. “The visual system is so primary in people. And if pain does not have your attention, you are not in pain.  This kind of immersive distraction works especially well for short-term pain.(“驱动因素是分散注意力。”虚拟现实疼痛研究员Zina Trost说。“视觉系统在人类中非常重要。如果疼痛没有引起你的注意，你就不会感到疼痛。这种沉浸式分散注意力对短期疼痛特别有效。)”可知，根据Zina Trost的说法，虚拟现实通过将人们的注意力从疼痛上转移来帮助缓解疼痛。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Neuroscience has found that sensory imagery and real bodily experience often engage the identical brain regions — a finding that could explain how the video produces its effect.(神经科学发现，感官意象和真实的身体体验经常激活相同的脑区——这一发现可以解释视频是如何产生效果的。)”可知，观看视频可以缓解疼痛是因为想象的和真实的体验涉及相同的脑区。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“VR and video-based approaches are still being studied and their reach remains restricted by awareness and access. But their relatively low cost and ease of use could make them easier to scale. These two approaches are bringing fresh drive to the field.(基于虚拟现实和视频的方法仍在研究中，其普及程度仍受到认知和获取途径的限制。但它们相对较低的成本和易用性可能使它们更容易推广。这两种方法为该领域带来了新的动力。)”可知，作者认为这两种方法虽然有限但很有前景。故选A。 押题3 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 354 一项关于基因编辑药物的研究，该研究表明单次注射实验性基因编辑药物可安全有效地降低胆固醇，可能为终身有效 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 猜测词义 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 A single infusion (注射) of an experimental gene-editing drug appears safe and effective for cutting cholesterol, possibly for life, according to a small early study released Saturday. The study, which involved 15 volunteers, found one infusion of a drug that uses the CRISPR gene-editing technique could safely reduce cholesterol, as well as levels of harmful triglycerides, by about half. Dr. Luke Laffin, a preventative cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic who helped conduct the study, said, “Rather than a lifetime worth of medicine, we have the potential to give people a cure. It’s very exciting.” The study’s results were presented at the American Heart Association’s annual meeting and published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, killing nearly 700, 000 people every year. One major reason is that many people stop taking their cholesterol-lowering medications. If future research confirms the findings of this study, the gene-editing approach could become a powerful weapon against heart disease, freeing people from the need to take statins and other drugs every day. Yet experts consider that much more research is needed. Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist at Scripps Research, noted that gene-editing is currently expensive and long-term safety is still unclear. “The idea of an inexpensive, one-and-done treatment is a fantasy at the moment,” he said. Other scientists agree that more studies are needed to prove its protection against cardiovascular disease. The treatment involves infusing the drug into the bloodstream so it can travel to the liver and disable a gene called ANGPTL3, which is involved in producing cholesterol and triglycerides. Dr. Steven Nissen, another preventive cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic, explained, “It’s a knockout of the gene. It cuts it. And after that, the gene no longer functions.” Samarth Kulkarni, CEO of CRISPR Therapeutics, which sponsored the study, said the approach “could potentially impact millions of people around the world.” Similar research by Verve Therapeutics in Boston also shows hopeful results. Researchers are now planning larger, longer studies to see if this one-time treatment can safely protect people from heart attacks and strokes for life. 1．What is the advantage of the CRISPR gene-editing drug? A．It reduces triglycerides by more than 70%. B．It has been proven safe for long-term use. C．It needs a single treatment instead of daily intake. D．It can be used to treat a wide range of diseases. 2．What is Dr. Eric Topol’s attitude towards the CRISPR gene- editing treatment? A．Optimistic. B．Cautious. C．Enthusiastic. D．Indifferent. 3．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “knockout” in Paragraph 5? A．A sudden failure. B．A complete removal. C．A temporary pause. D．A minor adjustment. 4．What can be inferred about the future of the gene- editing treatment? A．It will soon replace other daily statins due to its one- time effect. B．It will become accessible to millions of people in the near future. C．It can safely protect people from heart attacks and strokes for life. D．It will have promising future while it requires further research. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D 【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一项关于基因编辑药物的研究，该研究表明单次注射实验性基因编辑药物可安全有效地降低胆固醇，可能为终身有效，但专家认为仍需更多研究。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Rather than a lifetime worth of medicine, we have the potential to give people a cure. It’s very exciting.(与其让病人一辈子服药，我们有可能给人们提供一种治疗方法。这非常令人兴奋)”可知，CRISPR基因编辑药物的优势是需要单次治疗而不是每天服用。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段“Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist at Scripps Research, noted that gene-editing is currently expensive and long-term safety is still unclear. “The idea of an inexpensive, one-and-done treatment is a fantasy at the moment,” he said.(斯克里普斯研究所的心脏病专家Eric Topol博士指出，基因编辑目前价格昂贵，长期安全性仍不清楚。他说，“目前，一种廉价的一次性治疗方法的想法只是一种幻想。”)”可知，Eric Topol博士认为基因编辑目前价格昂贵，长期安全性仍不清楚，因此他对CRISPR基因编辑治疗持谨慎态度。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据上文“The treatment involves infusing the drug into the bloodstream so it can travel to the liver and disable a gene called ANGPTL3, which is involved in producing cholesterol and triglycerides.(这种治疗方法包括将药物注入血液，使其能够到达肝脏并使一种名为ANGPTL3的基因失活，该基因参与产生胆固醇和甘油三酯)”可知，这种治疗方法是使ANGPTL3基因失活，即完全移除该基因的功能，由此可知，knockout意为“完全移除”。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Similar research by Verve Therapeutics in Boston also shows hopeful results. Researchers are now planning larger, longer studies to see if this one-time treatment can safely protect people from heart attacks and strokes for life.(波士顿Verve Therapeutics公司的类似研究也显示出令人鼓舞的结果。研究人员现在正在计划更大规模、更长时间的研究，以观察这种一次性治疗是否能终生安全地保护人们免受心脏病发作和中风的侵害)”可知，基因编辑治疗虽然需要进一步研究，但它的未来很有希望。故选D。 押题4 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 327 2毫米微型机器人 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 猜测词义 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Stanford assistant professor Ruike Zhao published a groundbreaking medical breakthrough in Nature: using a tiny 2 mm micro-robot, she increased the success rate of blood clot (血块) removal from a mere 11% to an amazing 90%, sending shock waves through the medical world. In modern society, about one in every dozen people may experience a blood clot in their lifetime. It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of strokes (中风) and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow becomes a matter of life and death. Unfortunately, traditional mechanical methods have a low success rate. The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks — not only is success unlikely, but the situation may deteriorate. Blood clots may break apart while being pressed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas. However, Professor Zhao’s 2 mm micro-robot enters blood vessels and, using high-speed rotation (旋转), generates forces to reduce the clot size to 5%. It’s like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly, using pressure to bring the clot components together, making them easier to remove. This process requires no drugs, causes no vessel damage, and effectively releases trapped red blood cells back into blood. What’s astonishing is that this innovation is inspired from subway TBMs, tunnel-boring machines (盾构机). The way tunnel-boring machines efficiently handle hard soil and rock in narrow spaces inspired the creation. This brilliant Chinese researcher miniaturized the enormous underground machine to a size tens of thousands of times smaller and adapted it for use in human blood vessels. Currently, the technology has been successfully tested on pigs. While most of these studies remain in the laboratory phase, the breakthrough itself is exciting. This technology may soon extend beyond blood clots to address issues like kidney stones or gallstones. 1．What can be inferred about blood clots from paragraph 2? A．They are more common in elderly people. B．They can lead to life-threatening situations. C．They are a rare but serious medical condition. D．They may result from strokes and heart attacks. 2．What does the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Improve gradually. B．Turn more tolerable. C．Become more stable. D．Worsen unexpectedly. 3．How does the author illustrate the working principle of the micro-robot? A．By giving a vivid example. B．By listing its technical details. C．By quoting the inventor’s words. D．By comparing it with other robots. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．The Danger of Blood Clots to Human Health B．How Subway TBMs Inspire Medical Devices C．How a Tiny Robot Changes Blood Clot Treatment D．The Application of Micro-Robots in Various Fields 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【解析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了斯坦福大学Ruike Zhao教授研发的2毫米微型机器人。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中“It is widely known that blood clots are the leading cause of strokes (中风) and heart attacks. During treatment, the ability to quickly and effectively restore blood flow becomes a matter of life and death. (众所周知，血凝块是中风和心脏病发作的主要原因。在治疗过程中，能否快速有效地恢复血液流动是一个生死攸关的问题)”可知，血凝块可能会引发危及生命的情况。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The process is like trying to pick up broken tofu with chopsticks — not only is success unlikely, but the situation may deteriorate. Blood clots may break apart while being pressed, resulting in small pieces stuck in hard-to-reach areas. (这个过程就像试图用筷子夹起碎豆腐——不仅不可能成功，而且情况可能会_____。血凝块在按压时可能会破裂，导致小块血液卡在难以触及的部位)”可知，传统方法像用筷子夹碎豆腐，不仅难成功，还会让血块碎裂卡在难处理的地方，情况变得更糟。由此可推测deteriorate意为“意外恶化”。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“It’s like when you press and rub soft things, like hair, between your hands. The force makes them stick together into a small ball. The micro-robot works similarly (就像你用双手按压和摩擦柔软的东西，比如头发。力使它们粘在一起成一个小球。微型机器人的工作原理与此类似)”可知，作者通过“用手挤压揉搓头发使其粘成小球”这一生动例子，来类比说明微型机器人通过压力将血块成分聚集、缩小尺寸的工作原理。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。文章开篇即点明核心成果——Ruike Zhao教授研发的2毫米微型机器人将血块清除成功率从11%提升至90%，后文围绕传统治疗的局限、微型机器人的工作原理、灵感来源及未来应用展开，C选项“微型机器人如何改变血栓治疗”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。 七、疑难疾病机理研究 押题1 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 320 小神经胶质细胞在焦虑行为中扮演着“加速器”和“刹车”的角色 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 主旨大意 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Anxiety disorders, a common mental health problem, affect roughly one in five people. For a long time, scientists believed anxiety was controlled only by neurons in the brain. However, a new study from the University of Utah has identified an unexpected player: a type of immune cell called microglia (小神经胶质细胞). Researchers discovered that two groups of these cells act like an “accelerator” and a “brake” for anxious behavior, challenging old ideas about how the brain works. Microglia are not typical neurons (神经元) that send signals across the body. Initially, scientists noticed that when they interfered with a specific group of microglia known as Hoxb8, mice became anxious. But confusingly, when they blocked the activity of all microglia at once, the mice behaved normally. This led to a new theory: perhaps the two types of microglia had opposite effects. The Hoxb8 cells might act as a “brake” to prevent anxiety, while other microglia might function as an “accelerator” to promote it. To test this, scientists conducted a unique experiment by moving microglia into mice that lacked these cells entirely. When only the “accelerator” cells (non-Hoxb8) were transplanted, the mice showed high anxiety, such as cleaning themselves too much and avoiding open areas. In contrast, mice given only the “brake” cells (Hoxb8) remained calm. Most importantly, when both types were present, they created a perfect balance, and the mice behaved normally. The “brake” cells effectively canceled out the effects of the “accelerator” cells. This discovery could change the way anxiety disorders are treated. It suggests the brain’s immune system plays a crucial role in mental health. The researchers explain that humans have similar microglia populations. Since most current medicines target neurons, they may not address the root cause. Future treatments could focus on boosting the “brake” cells or reducing the “accelerator” cells, helping patients regain control over their anxiety. This represents a major shift in the field of mental health. 1．What happened to the mice when they received only non-Hoxb8 microglia? A．They lost the ability to clean themselves. B．They showed signs of extreme anxiety. C．They became more interested in open spaces. D．Their anxiety levels remained unchanged. 2．What can be inferred about the current anxiety medications? A．They are mostly ineffective for patients. B．They are too expensive for most people. C．They may not target the fundamental cause of anxiety. D．They often produce serious side effects. 3．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Neurons: The Master Control of Anxiety B．A New Discovery about Anxiety and Its Treatment C．The Harmful Effects of Anxiety Disorders D．How to Live a Life Free from Anxiety 4．What does the author suggest about the future of anxiety treatment? A．It will focus on correcting the balance of immune cells. B．It will completely stop using drugs that target neurons. C．It will depend heavily on complex brain surgeries. D．It will face greater challenges due to the new findings. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了犹他大学的一项新研究发现，小神经胶质细胞在焦虑行为中扮演着“加速器”和“刹车”的角色，这一发现颠覆了“焦虑仅由大脑神经元控制”的传统认知，为焦虑症的治疗提供了全新方向。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段中“When only the “accelerator” cells (non-Hoxb8) were transplanted, the mice showed high anxiety, such as cleaning themselves too much and avoiding open areas. (当只移植“加速”细胞（非Hoxb8细胞）时，小鼠表现出高度焦虑，比如过度清洁自身以及回避开阔区域)”可知，当小鼠只接受非Hoxb8小神经胶质细胞时，它们表现出极度焦虑的症状。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Since most current medicines target neurons, they may not address the root cause. (由于目前大多数药物以神经元为作用靶点，它们可能无法解决根本病因)”可推知，现有药物可能无法针对焦虑的根本病因发挥作用。故选C项。 3．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“However, a new study from the University of Utah has identified an unexpected player: a type of immune cell called microglia (小神经胶质细胞). Researchers discovered that two groups of these cells act like an “accelerator” and a “brake” for anxious behavior, challenging old ideas about how the brain works. (然而，犹他大学的一项新研究发现了一个意想不到的参与者：一种名为小神经胶质细胞的免疫细胞。研究人员发现，这类细胞中的两组细胞在焦虑行为中分别起到“加速器”和“制动器”的作用，这对关于大脑工作机制的旧有观点提出了挑战)”可知，文章主要介绍了犹他大学的一项新研究发现，小神经胶质细胞在焦虑行为中扮演着“加速器”和“制动器”的角色，这一发现可能改变焦虑症的治疗方式。因此，B项“A New Discovery about Anxiety and Its Treatment (关于焦虑及其治疗的新发现)”准确概括了文章的核心内容，适宜作为标题使用。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Future treatments could focus on boosting the “brake” cells or reducing the “accelerator” cells, helping patients regain control over their anxiety.

While some existing treatments can offer rapid relief, their use is often limited due to serious side effects and a lack of understanding of how they work. For decades, the exact biological processes behind these powerful therapies have remained a mystery, preventing doctors from fully using their benefits and managing their risks. This situation has made developing better treatments a top priority for medical researchers. Now, a breakthrough by Chinese scientists has shed light on this mystery. Using a new observation method, they discovered a common mechanism behind two major therapies. They found that both treatments cause a sharp and lasting increase in a key brain chemical in areas that control mood. This shared starting point was previously unknown and represents a major step forward in understanding how to fight depression more effectively. This discovery is particularly important for one of the treatments, a powerful medicine. The research shows it works mainly by changing cell energy, not through a process previously thought to cause side effects like unpleasant mental experiences. Based on this new understanding, the team has already developed new medicines. In animal tests, these new drugs showed strong antidepressant effects with far fewer side effects, offering hope for safer future treatments. The research has also opened a door to non-drug treatments. Scientists discovered that a simple physical method, a brief and controlled special breathing exercise, can also activate this brain chemical pathway. Animal studies showed this method is both safe and effective, producing a powerful antidepressant effect without medicine. This suggests a completely new, simple, and low-cost way to help people with depression. Building on this finding, a treatment device based on the breathing technique is being developed. Initial tests show it is safe and affordable. The team aims to complete clinical trials and introduce this new therapy to the market in the coming years, promising a new era in the treatment of depression. 1．What does the passage want to convey? A．The effectiveness of different antidepressant drugs. B．A breakthrough in understanding and treating depression. C．The wider use of a specific fast-acting treatment. D．The side effects of current depression therapies. 2．What did the new research reveal about the powerful medicine? A．It works by a process that directly causes side effects. B．Its primary function is related to cell energy changes. C．It is the only treatment that increases the brain chemical. D．Its effects on mood are slower than previously thought. 3．What can be inferred about the new breathing-based therapy? A．It will completely replace the need for medicine. B．It is considered a promising future treatment. C．It is more effective than the drug-based treatments. D．It is already widely used in hospitals across China. 4．Why is the discovery of a common mechanism important? A．It proves that all depression treatments are the same. B．It allows for the creation of safer and improved treatments. C．It shows that physical methods are better than drugs. D．It helps doctors choose the right strategy for individuals. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．B 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国科学家在抑郁症治疗研究中的一项重要突破：发现两种主流疗法通过提升大脑特定化学物质的共同机制起作用，并据此开发出新药和一种非药物的呼吸疗法，为未来治疗带来新方向。 1．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的 “Now, a breakthrough by Chinese scientists has shed light on this mystery.

They identified “regulatory T cells,” which function as the immune system’s security guards, preventing immune cells from attacking the body’s own tissues and causing severe autoimmune diseases. The immune system’s primary role is to distinguish foreign microbes (细菌) from the body’s own cells and then attack them. However, microbes can develop similarities to human cells. If this pretence succeeds, it can lead to a form of biological “friendly fire,” where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own cells. It was long believed that the immune system was mainly protected by T cells that can recognize and kill microbes. However, some puzzling autoimmune reactions pointed to the existence of another, more complex regulator. Immunologist Shimon is among the scientists who conducted further research. In 1995, he discovered in mice that there is a particular group of immune cells, which he named “regulatory T cells,” working as the body’s security guards that stop immune cells from attacking self-tissues. Meanwhile in the early 2000s, bio-technologists Brunkow and Ramsdell investigated why a specific type of mouse was particularly sensitive to autoimmune diseases. Their experiments took many years. While mapping a mouse’s genome (基因组) today takes only days, back then it was like looking for a needle in a huge pile of straw. They finally found the source of trouble was a variation of the gene named Foxp3, and further discovered that a similar error in a human’s gene causes IPEX syndrome, a serious autoimmune disease. Afterwards, Shimon linked their research to his own, proving that Foxp3 aids in the creation and the operation of regulatory T cells, ensuring that the immune system is strong enough to fight off microbes and at the same time controlled enough not to injure the body. Their foundational discoveries have paved the way for potential new treatments for autoimmune conditions, as well as more effective cancer treatments and reduced complications after organ transplants. 1．What is the result of “friendly fire”? A．Killing of foreign microbes. B．Wrong attack on human cells. C．Immune cells’ development. D．Microbes’ successful disguise. 2．Why did Shimon conduct the mice research? A．To win an award. B．To solve a puzzle. C．To treat a disease. D．To defend a belief. 3．What’s the purpose of mentioning “a needle in a huge pile of straw” in paragraph 4? A．To introduce the long history of medical science. B．To emphasize the important role of the lab mice. C．To stress the difficulty of doing the experiments. D．To show the rareness of an autoimmune disease. 4．What is the root reason of autoimmune diseases according to the discoveries? A．An error happens to the Foxp3 gene. B．Regulatory T cells are distinguished. C．The immune system is under attack. D．Microbes force into the human body. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三位科学家在免疫系统工作机制上的突破性发现——调节性T细胞及其关键基因Foxp3，解释了它们如何防止自身免疫性疾病，并阐述了该发现对疾病治疗的深远意义。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“If this pretence succeeds, it can lead to a form of biological “friendly fire,” where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own cells. (如果这种伪装成功，它可能会导致一种生物“友军误伤”，即免疫系统错误地攻击身体自身的细胞。)”可知，“友军误伤”的结果是免疫系统错误地攻击人体细胞。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“It was long believed that the immune system was mainly protected by T cells that can recognize and kill microbes. However, some puzzling autoimmune reactions pointed to the existence of another, more complex regulator. Immunologist Shimon is among the scientists who conducted further research. (长期以来，人们认为免疫系统主要由能识别并杀死微生物的T细胞保护。然而，一些令人困惑的自身免疫反应指向了另一个、更复杂的调节器的存在。免疫学家Shimon是进行进一步研究的科学家之一。)”可知，Shimon的研究动机源于存在一些无法用传统认知解释的、令人困惑的自身免疫现象。他进行研究的目的就是为了探索并解决这个科学谜题。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Their experiments took many years. While mapping a mouse’s genome (基因组) today takes only days, back then it was like looking for a needle in a huge pile of straw. (他们的实验花了很多年。虽然如今绘制老鼠的基因组只需要几天时间，但在当时，这就像在一大堆稻草里找一根针。)”可知，作者通过将当时的实验条件比作“大海捞针”，是为了形象地突出在当时的科技条件下，寻找基因变异源头这项工作极其耗时且困难。故选C项。 4．细节理解题。根据第四段中“They finally found the source of trouble was a variation of the gene named Foxp3, and further discovered that a similar error in a human’s gene causes IPEX syndrome, a serious autoimmune disease. (他们最终发现问题的根源是一种名为Foxp3的基因变异，并进一步发现人类基因中类似的错误会导致IPEX综合征，一种严重的自身免疫性疾病。)”可知，根据这些发现，自身免疫性疾病的根本原因在于Foxp3基因发生错误或变异。故选A项。 押题4 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 337 发现汗液可以帮助检测糖尿病和帕金森病等疾病 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Scientists say sweat can help detect diseases like diabetes and Parkinson’s. Their paper, to be published soon, demonstrates how sweat samples are easier to work with than traditional testing methods. For most people, sweat is just an annoyance during workouts or hot summer days. But researchers are discovering that those tiny droplets contain a wealth of health information, including markers for diseases, drug use, and even harmful metal exposure. Unlike blood draws that require needles and trained professionals, sweat collection is painless, and can be done continuously using wearable sensors. Actually, doctors have long used it to identify cystic fibrosis, a disease passed down from parents. Recent technological advances have dramatically expanded what sweat can reveal. For people with diabetes who traditionally must prick (扎) their fingers multiple times daily to check blood sugar, sweat glucose (葡萄糖) monitoring could be life-changing. A study involving seven diabetic individuals found a strong link between sweat glucose and blood glucose levels when samples were collected properly to prevent contamination from the skin surface. Parkinson’s disease research has also produced particularly notable results. In one study involving 150 individuals, researchers examined sebum, the oily secretion (分泌物) often mixed with sweat, and found distinct fat-related substances in Parkinson’s patients compared to healthy individuals. These differences in fat composition could serve as disease markers. Modern sweat analysis increasingly relies on wearable sensors: devices that stick to the skin and continuously monitor sweat. Recent innovations have tackled one of the biggest challenges, getting enough sweat for analysis. Some devices now use a technique called iontophoresis that applies mild electrical current to stimulate sweat production on demand, obviating the need to wait for natural sweat. Besides, AI could help get meaningful health predictions from the sensor data, though this also raises questions about computational power, data storage needs, and privacy protections for personal health information. However, challenges remain — sweat composition changes with diet, activity and individuals, and more studies are needed to confirm which sweat markers are helpful for medical checks. 1．What can be learned about sweat testing from paragraph 2? A．It is used widely in hospitals. B．It is not completely new. C．It has already beaten blood test. D．It hasn’t been studied sufficiently. 2．How does the author present the application of sweat testing? A．By analyzing statistics. B．By stating arguments. C．By giving examples. D．By explaining concepts. 3．What does the underlined word “obviating” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Recovering. B．removing. C．Recording. D．Requiring. 4．What is the best title for the text?

Their paper, to be published soon, demonstrates how sweat samples are easier to work with than traditional testing methods.(科学家表示，汗液可以帮助检测糖尿病和帕金森病等疾病。他们即将发表的论文展示了汗液样本比传统检测方法更容易操作)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕汗液检测展开，介绍了汗液检测的优势，如无痛、可连续检测等。由此可知，“Sweat Enables Painless Health Monitoring(汗液使无痛健康监测成为可能)”最能概括文章主旨，适合作本文最佳标题。故选D项。 押题5 词数 话题 体裁 考点 押题理由 347 精神疾病的根源可能在于大脑细胞的能量供应问题 说明文 细节理解 推理判断 高考阅读材料中与医学、健康相关的文章占较高的比重。通常是有关特殊疾病的机理、疾病治疗、疾病预防、中医治疗、医学实验等内容。 Dr. Bruce Cohen, a leading expert in brain science, is changing our understanding of mental illnesses. For a long time, scientists believed these problems were caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. However, Dr. Cohen’s research points to a different root cause: issues with how brain cells produce and use energy. By using new lab techniques to grow living brain cells from patients, his team has discovered that this energy problem is common in many disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This breakthrough could lead to far more effective treatments. The brain is the body’s most energy-demanding organ. Dr. Cohen argues that when this energy supply is disturbed, it affects how brain cells connect and communicate. This energy-based view challenges the old chemical theory. The most hopeful aspect is that these energy defects might be correctable even before a person shows clear signs of illness. This opens a new door for preventing mental health conditions, rather than just trying to manage them after they develop. Beyond the lab, Dr. Cohen also wants to change how mental illnesses are $
