2026届高三英语各地模考或重点中学（联考）阅读专项训练十七（C篇）及答案详解 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一. （2026·辽宁·一模）Polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) on the deep-ocean seafloor contain minerals like cobalt and nickel, which mining companies hope to harvest for green-energy batteries and technologies. However, a recent study suggests these prized, potato-sized rocks may also serve as a source of oxygen for the bacteria and other microorganisms living there. Jeffrey Marlow, one of the authors of the study, said researchers planted some watertight (不透水的) structures on the ocean floor, which he described as overturned boxes equipped with instruments designed to measure the properties and composition of living things and their probable usage of oxygen. Researchers measured the oxygen loss over a 48-hour period while the structure was sealed on the seafloor. Typically, a decline in oxygen is an indicator for biological abundance because breathing organisms consume it. Yet, contrary to all expectations, they observed a rise in oxygen levels, a finding that directly challenged conventional understanding. But not everyone is on the same wavelength as him. Canada’s The Metals Co. stated the study had been rejected by four scientific publications until finding a home at Nature, which the company labeled as “a journal that has long championed the preservation of deep-sea minerals”. TMC also said the method was wrong, arguing the team’s findings contradicted other work that had been conducted in the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion-Clipperton Zone. “The heightened oxygen levels are in fact incorrect in the data, and we are currently preparing a peer-reviewed paper as a fightback,” said the company. Bo Barker, a microbiologist at Denmark’s Aarhus University, said the study invited more questions than it did answers. He described it as “a novel but very confusing process for which the mechanism is still not clear”. For years, companies such as Canada’s TMC have been battling to persuade the international governing authority to green-light their plans to obtain these rocks in the Pacific Ocean’s CCZ. The company has argued that the metals are essential for fossil fuel-free technologies and that the impact mining will have on the ocean floor is not only minimal, but also fades next to the destruction of rain forests and human communities caused by land-based mining. 1．What was the most unexpected finding of Jeffrey Marlow’s study? A．Oxygen levels climbed in the box. B．Nodules contained cobalt and nickel. C．The underwater structures were sealed. D．Microorganisms consumed oxygen fast. 2．Why does The Metals Co. (TMC) mention that the study was rejected by four scientific publications? A．To praise the researchers’ resolution. B．To explain the long publication delay. C．To suggest the study was initially unqualified. D．To emphasize the fierce competition among journals. 3．What role do the last two paragraphs play in the development of the passage? A．Providing multidimensional context for the ongoing debate. B．Listing the potential benefits of harvesting polymetallic nodules. C．Offering a detailed, step-by-step explanation of the new study’s approach. D．Summarizing the key findings and presenting a final conclusion on the matter. 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．A Deep Rock: a Data Error B．A Tiny Stone: a massive Wave C．A Rare Metal: a Global Solution D．A Deep-Sea Mine: a Rainforest Rescue 二. （2026·湖南衡阳·一模）Chinese scientists have uncovered the world’s first AI - powered breeding robot named GEAIR. It can cruise autonomously and carry out cross–pollination (异花授粉), promising reduced breeding costs, short breeding cycles, and improved breeding efficiency. GEAIR has been built with a combination of two technologies: AI and biotechnology. Xu Cao, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led the research team that built the robot. Cross-pollination, also known as hybrid pollination, is the process of transferring pollen (花粉) from a flower of one plant to another. This process helps in creating hybrid flowers of plants, also known as hybrid breeding. The aim of hybrid breeding is to develop crop varieties with improved traits, thereby achieving enhanced yield and quality. However, according to Xu, doing this process repeatedly is time - consuming. GEAIR can help reduce the time and also avoid human errors. Living up to its promised potential, the robot carried out a trial in a greenhouse. It identified a flower accurately and extended its arm gently to complete the hybrid pollination process. The entire breeding process was done with inch-perfect precision. The researchers also built the first “intelligent robotic breeding factory”, which can quickly and efficiently develop new, high-quality plant varieties. GEAIR will start a new era backed by AI and biotechnology in the breeding industry. “Our new study has initiated an intelligent breeding model of integrated biotechnology, AI and robot labor — marking China’s successful pioneering efforts in the construction of a closed-loop (闭环的) technology system for intelligent robotized hybrid breeding,” Xu said. “It also shows the application prospects of ‘AI for science’ in the sector of biological breeding.” With biotechnology as its foundation, AI as empowerment, and robots as operators, this study could help China take the lead in the race to create breeding robots that are fully autonomous and intelligent. 5．What is the primary function of the GEAIR robot? A．To take care of human gardeners. B．To monitor plant growth conditions. C．To conduct hybrid pollination tasks. D．To harvest mature crops automatically. 6．What problem of traditional hybrid breeding does GEAIR solve? A．Lack of pollen sources. B．Long time and mistakes. C．High costs of hybridization. D．A narrow range of hybrid types. 7．What can we infer about the “intelligent robotic breeding factory”? A．It is popular worldwide now. B．It can work without any power. C．It mainly focuses on common crops. D．It can enhance the diversity of agriculture. 8．What is the significance of GEAIR’s development? A．It makes organic farming possible. B．It lowers the cost of traditional farming. C．It proves robots can work better than humans. D．It shows China’s leadership in agricultural technology. 三. （2026·湖南衡阳·一模）Despite decades of messaging from litter prevention campaigns, trash still finds its way onto streets. A Portland-based organization has been inspiring residents to clean up their neighborhoods, one block at a time. Since 2020, Adopt One Block has helped over 7,000 people become Block Ambassadors. These volunteers beautify and maintain over 8,500 blocks in Washington and Oregon. Sarah Yapp adopted her block in south Eugene. With cars rushing by, she explained why. “When I was growing up, my dad actually made me pick up trash on the street. That was the era of McDonald’s Styrofoam (泡沫塑料) containers, when people just threw them out of their windows. So, I used to hate that,” she said. “And then I grew up, and I realized I don’t like trash on the street as an adult either.” “Oh, I got something!” Yapp used her grabber to pick up a paper cup from a bush and dropped it in a bag. Olivia Langley is Director of Operations for Adopt One Block. “We send you free clean - up supplies,” she said. “That’s everything from a bucket, a trash grabber, trash bags, to gloves.” Block Ambassadors set their own schedules for trash grabbing and can access additional resources from the organization to deal with different “trash encounters”. Langley said that when necessary, medical sharps containers are also provided. However, Langley insisted that volunteers should only do the amount of clean-up they are comfortable with. Things like broken glass, thrown - away needles and perilous materials can be handled by municipal agencies, she said. Sarah Yapp shared the idea with her friend Rachel Sanders and now they both pick up trash on their own blocks and beyond. The friends said the garbage can sometimes be messy, but they both find fulfillment in cleaning it up. “Here we are picking up trash and there are people cheering us on and joining in. Some even adopt their own neighborhoods!” Yapp said. “The other day, a middle school student saw me on my block and asked, ‘Are you picking up trash? Thank you!’” 9．What made Sarah Yapp become a Block Ambassador? A．Her father’s personal request. B．The increase in McDonald’s products. C．The technical support from the non - profit. D．Her own appreciation of a clean environment. 10．What do we know about Block Ambassadors’ work according to Olivia Langley? A．They follow a very tight schedule. B．They handle various kinds of trash. C．They have good medical insurance. D．They protect their blocks from danger. 11．What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Dangerous. B．Simple. C．Unwanted. D．Unclean. 12．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．The positive impact of Sarah’s work. B．The financial value of Sarah’s efforts. C．The friendship between Sarah and Rachel. D．The personal satisfaction from volunteering. 四. （2026·内蒙古赤峰·一模）“Memory editing” sounds dark, bringing to mind threatening visions of erased histories or implanted lies. But in the lab, the reality is gentler and far more hopeful. The discovery of the ability to edit memory itself is teaching us how to heal the brain from within, including how to weaken wounding recollections, strengthen declining ones and rebalance emotions our memories carry. Over the past decade, this work has revealed three principles. First, memories are malleable (可塑的) when being stored, recalled and restored. Second, they are distributed across the brain rather than in one region. Third, they can be artificially imprinted into the brain. Each principle reframes what “memory editing” really means. When we form a memory, brain cells fire together and strengthen connections. That process can be enhanced or weakened with different patterns of stimulation. Drugs, hormones or even a bit of sugar can enhance the brain’s ability to stabilise new experiences. The same idea works in reverse. Overstimulate memory pathways, and a memory’s strength declines; block the molecules (分子) that strengthen connections, and it weakens more. Because memories are spread across the brain, they are also remarkably resilient. Damage to one region rarely deletes an entire experience. Instead, the brain can reroute access through alternate pathways and call upon multiple “drafts” of the memory. This backup system offers hope for treating Alzheimer’s: if we can strengthen undamaged routes to a memory, we may repair pieces of identity once thought lost. Memory editing, then, isn’t about rewriting who we are — it is about giving the brain new paths back to itself. While the idea raises ethical concerns as every major medical advance once did, the goal of our work is to reduce suffering and thereby improve our collective well-being: to help an ex-soldier loosen his hold on a flashback or someone with Alzheimer’s hold on to loved ones’ names. Learning to reshape memory responsibly helps us heal, and the brain already edits memories every time we revisit them. Science today is simply learning the rules. 13．What can we learn about memory editing from Paragraph 1? A．It erases unwanted histories and lies. B．It offers potential for brain healing. C．It facilitates painful recollection. D．It controls emotional memories. 14．What can enhance a memory’s strength? A．Blocking the molecules that stabilise memories. B．Reducing the stimulation to brain regions. C．Reinforcing the links between brain cells. D．Shortening the time of brain cells firing. 15．The underlined word “resilient” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “______”. A．hard to awaken B．limited in function C．flexible in structure D．not easily destroyed 16．What is the author’s attitude towards memory editing research? A．Unconcerned. B．Neutral. C．Doubtful. D．Favorable. 五. （25-26高三下·河北衡水·月考）Researchers have developed a robotic hand that can not only move about on its fingertips, but it can also bend its fingers backward, connect and disconnect from a robotic arm and pick up and carry one or more objects at a time, researchers report January 20 in Nature Communications. “It’s been a dream to design a new hand which departs from human-like hands,” says Aude Billard, a researcher at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. “It allows people to think out of the box, to rethink what it is to have a hand or finger.” Billard and her coworkers used a genetic algorithm (算法), which simulated (模拟) how different combinations of robot features would work together. That allowed the team to gradually improve the design and come up with several blueprints for hand-shaped bots that could walk, grasp and carry objects. When attached to the mechanical arm, the robotic hand could pick up objects like a human hand. But the robot is more flexible. The fingers bend backward just as easily as forward, allowing the robot to hold objects against both sides of its hand at the same time. It can even open a bottle while holding it in place. When the robot was separated from the arm, it was most stable walking on four or five fingers and using one or two fingers for grabbing and carrying things, the team found. The hand disconnected from the robotic arm could use its fingers as legs to move, pick up things and carry them back to the arm. The robot could one day aid in industrial inspections of pipes and equipment too small for a human or larger robot to access, says Gao Xiao, a roboticist now at Wuhan University in China. It might even work as a prosthetic (假体的) hand though further research is needed to understand how human brains would control and respond to body parts that don’t match human physical structure, says Billard. 17．What can we learn about the robotic hand from Billard in paragraph 2? A．It looks exactly like a human hand. B．It breaks free from human hand limits. C． It is designed to carry heavy objects. D．It changes how people use their hands. 18．What is a feature of the robot hand according to paragraph 4? A．It’s controlled by human brains. B．It’s good at fine motor skills. C．It can grasp things from both sides. D．It walks steadily on two fingers. 19．What is Billard’s attitude toward the robot hand as a prosthetic hand? A．Optimistic but cautious. B．Skeptical and critical. C．Hopeful but worried. D．Curious and eager. 20．What is the best title for the text? A．A Self-learning Robotic Invention B．Robotic Fingers with Human-like Flexibility C．A Multi-purpose Tool for Industrial Production D．A Robot Hand Bending the Rules of Hand Design 六.（2026·广西来宾）Cultural heritage is an important part of a country’s history and identity. It includes tangible cultural heritage such as ancient buildings, cultural relics, and artworks, as well as intangible cultural heritage like traditional music, dance, and crafts. Protecting cultural heritage is of great significance for all of us. First, cultural heritage is a treasure of human civilization. It records the development of human society and the wisdom of our ancestors. Ancient buildings like the Great Wall in China and the Pyramids in Egypt are not only amazing architectural works but also symbols of the history and culture of their countries. Cultural relics and artworks reflect the life, beliefs, and artistic level of ancient people, allowing us to learn about the past and understand our roots. Second, protecting cultural heritage can promote cultural exchange and communication between different countries and nations. Each country has its own unique cultural heritage, which is a part of world culture. By protecting and showing our cultural heritage, we can let people from other countries know more about our culture, and at the same time, we can also learn about other cultures. This helps to build mutual understanding and friendship between different nations. Third, cultural heritage can also bring economic benefits to a country. Many cultural heritage sites have become popular tourist attractions, attracting a large number of tourists from all over the world every year. This not only promotes the development of the tourism industry but also creates more job opportunities and boosts the local economy. In addition, traditional crafts and artworks can be developed into cultural products, which can also bring economic income. However, cultural heritage is facing many threats today, such as natural disasters, human activities, and urban development. Some ancient buildings are damaged by earthquakes and floods, and some cultural relics are stolen or destroyed by people. Urban construction also often leads to the destruction of historical sites.     It is everyone’s responsibility to protect cultural heritage. The government should make laws and policies to protect cultural heritage, and we as individuals should also raise our awareness of protecting cultural heritage and take action to protect it. Only by working together can we preserve this precious treasure for future generations. 21．What is tangible cultural heritage according to the text? A．Traditional music and dance.
