2026届高三英语各地模考或重点中学（联考）阅读专项训练十三（C篇）及答案详解 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一. （2026·广西百色·二模） Buried beneath thick Amazon rainforest may be tens of thousands of unknown archaeological (考古的) sites. However, the vast forest stretches across nine countries, making traditional field research very difficult and time-consuming. To address this challenge, archaeologists are increasingly turning to advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. Recently, two archaeologists — Sarah Parcak, an Egyptologist, and Chris Fisher, a Mesoamerican archaeologist — worked together with OpenAI to organize a public competition that encouraged tech enthusiasts to analyze satellite images and remote sensing data in search of potential archaeological sites. The winning team identified 67 different areas across the Amazon that could contain historically valuable remains. Using deep learning models trained on public data, including satellite imagery, the team taught an AI system to recognize patterns associated with known archaeological sites. The system then compared those patterns with unexplored regions and highlighted promising locations, mainly in Brazil, for future investigation. Many of the identified areas appeared to be distributed along bodies of water. This result actually makes sense, as ancient civilizations tended to flourish (兴旺) near accessible water sources. By processing vast amounts of geographic data within a short period of time, newer AI models could look beyond established targets and turn up entirely new areas for investigation, says Parcak. In addition, many sites around the world are disappearing due to environmental change and human activities. “We have a very limited period of time to document the Earth and everything as it exists now before it fundamentally changes,” says Fisher. Other experts warn that they could invite moral concerns. Parcak and Fisher, however, expect to see more private companies launching similar competitions. “Our field has to ask itself some uncomfortable questions about where they’re willing to go to get support,” even if it means working with tech giants, Parcak says. 1．Why did archaeologists work together with OpenAI? A．To explore ancient sites in Amazon rainforest. B．To involve tech enthusiasts in archaeology. C．To overcome limits of traditional fieldwork. D．To test AI replacing field archaeologists. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How AI was used to identify potential sites. B．What led to the success of the winning team. C．Where archaeological sites are mainly located. D．How the AI model improved research efficiency. 3．What is suggested about the role of AI in archaeology? A．It prevents environmental damage to sites. B．It helps expand and speed up site discovery. C．It ensures all disappearing sites are recorded. D．It reduces the role of traditional field investigation. 4．What is the attitude of Parcak and Fisher towards the use of AI in archaeology? A．Disapproving. B．Cautious. C．Favorable. D．Indifferent. 二. （2026·广西百色·二模） It is commonly believed that human excellence is best achieved when a child prodigy (神童) is schooled intensively in his early years and goes on to conquer his chosen field. But a paper published in Science at the end of last year suggests that the perceived wisdom may be wrong. This study, led by Arne Güllich, a sports scientist at the RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau in Germany, analyzed data from more than 34,000 world-class performers across several fields, including sport, chess, classical music and academia. It found a striking pattern: about 90% of adult superstars had not been outstanding as children, while only around 10% of top-performing children later became exceptional adults. In fact, childhood excellence was not a positive predictor of adult success; the two were negatively correlated, according to Dr Güllich. The adult superstars also followed a different developmental path from child prodigies. When young, their performance in the field they eventually specialized in tended to fall behind that of their more focused peers. However, once they did specialize, their progress accelerated rapidly, showing greater “training efficiency”. The researchers proposed three explanations. The first suggests that delaying specialization while exploring multiple interests increases the chance of finding the field best suited to one’s abilities. The young Rafael Nadal- an all-time-great tennis player- toyed with a career in football before settling on tennis. Second, learning itself is a learnable skill and improves through varied experience, making later focused training more effective. Finally, avoiding intense early specialization may reduce the risk of burnout caused by prolonged narrow focus. The researchers hope to extend their analysis to more fields such as business and art. In the meantime, Dr Güllich emphasizes that his team is not saying the early-specialization model does not work. It is a reliable way to produce highly competent people - just not the truly world-class ones. Sports academies, selective schools and high-end music schools, in other words, may want to reconsider how they do things. 5．What does the study led by Arne Güllich suggest? A．Early excellence guarantees long-term success. B．Child prodigies tend to improve faster in adulthood. C．Most adult superstars were not so remarkable when young. D．Childhood performance predicts adult achievement. 6．Which explanation does Nadal’s example illustrate? A．Enhanced learning. B．Search and match. C．Lower burnout risk. D．Practice and progress. 7．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Existing training models may need to be changed. B．Early specialization should be strictly discouraged. C．Intensive training produces no high-level performers. D．World-class success depends mainly on natural talent. 8．Which of the following is the main idea of the passage? A．How early high achievers are trained to be outstanding B．Why child prodigies rarely become top-level performers C．What the path to world-class excellence really looks like D．What the limits of intensive early training are in education 三. （25-26高三下·河南·月考）Global demand for electricity is rising fast. Energy-hungry data centers that support artificial intelligence, along with expanding manufacturing, are putting enormous pressure on power systems worldwide. Meeting that demand requires more than simply generating additional electricity. One promising solution is to use existing energy supplies far more amply and at lower cost. Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed a new silicon-carbide-based power module (组件), called ULIS, which is designed to dramatically improve how electricity is converted (转换) and delivered. A power module is the housing that contains power electronics, which regulate the flow of electricity between systems. This new design delivers record-breaking efficiency and a manufacturing process that keeps costs low. ULIS is designed not only for efficiency, but also for reliability in demanding environments. According to Faisal Khan, NREL’s chief power electronics researcher, the lightweight yet powerful module can monitor its own condition and anticipate component failures before they happen. This feature is especially critical for high-risk applications such as aviation (航空) and military operations. Another major advance allows ULIS to operate wirelessly. The Lego-like design enables it to be integrated into a wide range of systems, from data center servers to advanced aircraft and military vehicles. ULIS is expected to have broad impact across multiple industries. In the U. S. power network, electricity must be converted into usable forms before it reaches consumers. This process used to depend on large, low-frequency equipment that wastes energy. ULIS’ fast switching improves efficiency while its ability to tolerate high temperatures may reduce long-term maintenance costs. In aviation, the module’s ability to move electricity quickly and conserve energy enables lighter and more powerful converters. This could help make electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft more practical and commercially workable. As industries pursue more reliable electricity, advanced artificial intelligence, and next-generation vehicles, ULIS is now available for licensing. 9．The underlined word “amply” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by __________. A．effectively B．widely C．frequently D．swiftly 10．What has NREL developed? A．A system to conserve electricity. B．A way to cut the need for electricity. C．A tool monitoring electricity use. D．A device boosting power efficiency. 11．Which feature of ULIS is crucial to high-risk applications? A．Taking up less space. B．Early failure prevention. C．Less human intervention. D．Convenient wireless access. 12．What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A．How ULIS works in the power network. B．Why old equipment needs to change. C．Where ULIS could make a big difference. D．What challenges the power industry faces. 四. （25-26高三下·河南·月考） Ever notice how some days feel like you’re walking through life surrounded by an invisible force field? There may be random smiles exchanged with strangers, the brief chat with your local barista (咖啡师) who remembers your order, the knowing glance shared with another traveller when something amusing happens on the train. These microconnections might seem insignificant, but they’re actually the building blocks of our social universe. Microconnections refer to short, shared moments with strangers or acquaintances,ranging from a smile or a wave to a casual conversation. They happen everywhere. A coffee order, a bus wait, or a door hold — all count. Ever notice how one positive interaction in the morning can set off a chain reaction of pleasant encounters throughout your day? That’s what we call “social momentum”, and it’s about to get even more interesting. Such interactions matter greatly in modern society. Although social media keeps us digitally connected, loneliness is on the rise. People now have fewer chances to communicate face-to-face, as many daily tasks can be completed online. Worse still, deep social divisions reduce trust between individuals. Microconnections offer a simple way to fight the state of being separate. Microconnections contribute to the overall health and vitality (活力) of our social ecosystem. These small acts of kindness create a two-way benefit, making both speakers and listeners feel seen and valued. In a world that often feels increasingly disconnected, these small moments of genuine human connection aren’t just nice-they’re necessary. What’s more, talking with strangers exposes us to different ideas and perspectives. Unlike close friends, strangers often hold different opinions, allowing us to learn new things and become more open-minded. Over time, frequent microconnections improve trust and strengthen the sense of community. The good news is that anyone can practise microconnections. Like any language, the more you practice, the more natural you become in creating social situations. Your brain starts to recognize patterns, anticipate responses, and generate real connections with the ease of a native speaker. 13．What does the author try to illustrate about microconnections by mentioning “social momentum”? A．It goes with little notice. B．It is all-too-common. C．It is usually insignificant. D．It has positive returns. 14．Why are people suffering more from loneliness nowadays? A．They lack real-life contact. B．They are considered untrustworthy. C．They share too much online. D．They ignore community connections. 15．What is the benefit of microconnections according to paragraph 5? A．Bridging cultural differences. B．Forming a new community. C．Helping avoid limited viewpoints. D．Strengthening the independence. 16．What is the best title for the text? A．How Microconnections Change Friendship B．Microconnections: Power in Social Life C．Microconnections: Product of the Digital Age D．Ways to Improve Communication Skills 五. （2026·山东滨州·一模） In our exploration of literature this month, My Name is Miene stands out as an appealing comic essay that has captured the hearts of many on social media.

It helps us to be healthier, more productive and more creative. Yet, somehow, we often lose sight of this. Many of us feel we’re wasting time if we aren’t getting things done, but research points to the costs of always being “on”. Our brains aren’t built to handle constant activities. “Downtime is important not only for our body, but for our mind,” says Elisa Epel, a professor at the University of California. Short pauses — whether you take a few breaths before entering a room or walk through the woods for 10 minutes — can lead to necessary self - reflection. If we’re always getting on with things or keeping busy, we won’t have time to examine whether what we’re doing is meaningful. “Well-established research has shown that low-level daily stress can create such intense wear and tear on our body’s physiological systems that we see faster aging in our cells,” says Epel. “Mindfulness - based interventions can slow biological aging by interrupting long - lasting stress, giving our bodies a break.” In 2021, when many Americans were working remotely, Microsoft conducted a study that followed two groups of people: The first had back - to - back video - conferencing, and the other group took 10 - minute breaks between meetings. Microsoft monitored brain activity of 14 participants in the study. “In the first group, what you see is a brain that’s filled with cortisol and adrenaline, chemicals that are usually produced when people are under stress or anxious,” says Celeste Headlee, a journalist and author of Do Nothing: How to Break Away From Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving. “It’s tired, it’s stressed, and it’s probably less sympathetic. The other group? You can see in brilliant color what a difference the breaks make,” she says. “Those are brains that are relaxed.” “Most Americans think of downtime as something that has to be earned only after we’ve done all of our productive tasks,” says Amber Childs, a psychologist and associate professor at Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry. But research would suggest the opposite: Downtime is a basic human need. 21．What attitude do people usually hold towards downtime? A．Dismissive. B．Favorable. C．Neutral. D．Unclear. 22．What does paragraph 2 emphasize? A．The rich variety of downtime. B．The function of brief pauses. C．The effect of self - reflection. D．The potential risk of busyness. 23．What can we learn about Microsoft’s study? A．It focused on the structure of the brain. B．It was designed for people working remotely. C．It revealed breaks contribute to a peaceful mind. D．It showed that Americans face high levels of stress. 24．What does Amber Childs advise people to do? A．Give priority to personal needs. B．Value downtime as necessary. C．Earn downtime through hard work. D．Reward themselves with a treat. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 《2026届高三英语各地模考或重点中学（联考）阅读专项训练十三（C篇）及答案详解》参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 C A B C C B A C A D 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B C D A C B B B D C 题号 21 22 23 24 答案 A B C B 一. 1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 【难度】0.71 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了考古学家利用人工智能和机器学习等先进技术来克服传统实地研究的局限性，从而在亚马逊雨林中寻找潜在的考古遗址，并探讨了人工智能在考古学中的应用及其影响。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, the vast forest stretches across nine countries, making traditional field research very difficult and time-consuming.
