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（D篇）及答案详解 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一.（2026·山东东营·一模）In July, the University of Chicago’s principal announced plans to “restructure” its Division of the Arts and Humanities, potentially reducing language instruction, establishing minimum class sizes and so on. As for why an institution with a huge fund of over $10 billion, renowned worldwide for its humanities programs, would make such dramatic changes, administrators offered a vague reason centered on “historic funding pressures”. But what, specifically, are these pressures? As Clifford Ando, a distinguished professor of classics at Chicago, details the university’s leadership, has for years spent vast amounts of money, largely on STEM projects, and then attempted to weaken its Division of the Arts and the Humanities as a means to pay for these investments. In fact, as Ando writes, they are the “only staff in the arts and sciences who systematically pay for themselves: they do not need expensive buildings; the provision of instruction in their fields is cheap”. Thus, it seems to many professors of the humanities that “financial crisis” has become an excuse for far-reaching changes that are not necessary so much as desired by university leaders. Why might university leaders deliberately choose to undercut humanistic education and research? Many reasons suggest themselves. Surely the endless reports of artificial intelligence spelling the end of reading and writing aren’t helping matters. STEM fields secure far more financial aid and thus serve as potentially important sources of income for universities. But we should not overlook a deeper root traced back to the 19th century. Prior to that time, higher education in the United States was greatly influenced by the spirit of Renaissance humanism. The institutions devoted outsized attention to the study of ancient Greek and Roman literature, key to shaping students’ characters. In the late 19th century, reformers shifted their focus to the scientific method, on which they aimed to recenter higher education. Amid these changes, American colleges have abandoned their core original mission. They ought to offer students space for reflection on human life, balance character development with career training, and preserve human cultural heritage as diligently as they advance new knowledge. 1．What accounts for Chicago University’s restructuring plan according to Professor Ando? A．Fund shortage. B．AI’s popularity. C．Humanities’ costly instruction. D．STEM’s huge investments. 2．How many reasons are given in Paragraph 3 for undercutting humanities? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 3．What is the author’s attitude towards the changes? A．Approving. B．Objective. C．Critical. D．Skeptical. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The influence of AI on higher education. B．The development of STEM fields in the US. C．The financial problem of American universities. D．The neglect of humanities in American universities. 二. （25-26高三下·浙江·开学考试）We live in a world where conversations about mental health are becoming more common. Yet, while sharing struggles often receives understanding, admitting to feeling steady can sometimes feel uncomfortable. Why does saying “I’m doing well” often come with a hint of guilt, as if being okay is somehow inappropriate when others are not? This phenomenon is linked to what psychologists call upward emotional comparison. In our interconnected society, we constantly measure our own emotional state against the visible suffering of others. As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing. The language of crisis feels more familiar and authentic than the language of calm. However, feeling okay is not emotional ignorance. Research in positive psychology suggests that emotions like calmness and contentment are not merely personal benefits. They serve a critical social function. Positive emotions can broaden our perspective, enhance problem-solving abilities, and build psychological resources. This inner steadiness, far from being selfish, actually increases our capacity for empathy and compassion. It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed. Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence. In challenging times, such steadiness becomes a quiet strength. By openly acknowledging our own periods of stability, we help normalize a full range of human emotions and create space for others to accept their own state without judgment. Ultimately, this honest sharing of wellbeing, one conversation at a time, contributes to building a more emotionally resilient community. 5．Why might people feel guilty saying “I’m doing well”? A．They feel they face a language crisis. B．They fear their luck won’t last long. C．They think sharing feelings is impolite. D．They worry it shows a lack of concern. 6．What does the underlined word “bulwark” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Measurement. B．Barrier. C．Support. D．Pressure. 7．Which of the following actions best illustrates “quiet okayness”? A．Sharing only anxieties to seek support. B．Encouraging others to feel constantly happy. C．Telling a friend you’re well when you truly are. D．Saying “I’m fine” quickly even if feeling stressed. 8．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．The Quiet Strength of Feeling Okay B．Why We Should Only Share Our Struggles C．How Positive Psychology Builds Happiness D．The Problem of Upward Emotional Comparison 三. （2026·黑龙江哈尔滨·一模）“Individuals of all ages who have empathy understand that sometimes telling little white lies can protect other people from getting hurt,” says Barbara Greenberg, a clinical psychologist in Connecticut. “Most people that I have come across tell these little white lies because they understand that 100 percent honesty all the time is not beneficial.” A white lie, she explains, spares people from unnecessary hurt. At the same time, Dr. Julia Breur, a marriage and family therapist in Florida, emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the way we respond to someone. The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something unpleasant on you; it’s not just about the person the white lie is being told to. For example, she says someone who always tells others that “all is good” when it comes to a sick parent in an effort to avoid discussions about how serious their health issue really is, can eventually face stressful experiences. When that parent eventually passes away without a chance to plan his or her final life, the person who always gave an “all is good” response ends up emotionally broken. Sometimes, telling white lies often depends on the situation, Dr. Breur says. For example, consider a woman who has not seen her mother for several months. The daughter has gained noticeable weight, yet the mother responds by excitedly declaring that she looks great. “I emphasize during psychotherapy sessions with my patients that context helps define meaning,” Dr. Breur says. “So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intention of the white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love. Otherwise, white lies — especially when told to avoid personal responsibility — can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity,” she adds. Therefore, it’s important to ask ourselves when it is and isn’t appropriate to deliver the honest truth, and when it’s best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it’s about finding a balance between the two. 9．What can be learned about white lies according to Barbara Greenberg? A．They are common. B．They are unidentifiable. C．They are trouble-making. D．They are short-lived. 10．What does Dr. Breur want to convey by using the example in paragraph 2? A．It’s wrong to tell white lies to a seriously ill parent. B．White lies can harm both the liars and the listeners. C．We must respond to our family members truthfully. D．The “all is good” response is effective in dealing with patients. 11．Which of the following white lies may Dr. Breur support? A．A student claims his homework was left at home. B．A Dad tells his son their lost pet is living happily on a farm. C．An employee blames traffic jam for being late. D．A nurse says she has to work overtime so as to decline an invitation. 12．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．East or West, White Lies Are the Best B．White Lies Signify Unconditional Love C．Think Twice Before Telling White Lies D．Tell White Lies to Show Your Sympathy 四. （25-26高三下·辽宁·开学考试）Something Big Is Happening Think back to February 2020. Most of us weren’t paying attention. Then, over three weeks, the entire world changed. I think we’re in the “this seems exaggerated” phase of something much, much bigger than Covid. I’ve spent six years building an AI startup. I keep giving people the polite version of what’s happening. The cocktail-party version. Because the honest version sounds like I’ve lost my mind. But the gap between what I’ve been saying and what is actually happening has gotten far too big. Here’s what nobody outside of tech quite understands: the reason people in the industry are sounding the alarm is because this already happened to us. We’re not making predictions. We’re telling you what already occurred in our own jobs. I am no longer needed for the actual technical work of my job. I describe what I want built, in plain English, and it just... appears. Not a rough draft. The finished thing. Done better than I would have done it myself. A couple of months ago, I was guiding the AI, making edits. Now I just describe the outcome and leave. The AI labs focused on code first because building AI requires code. If AI can write that code, it can help build the next version of itself. They’ve done it. And they’re moving on to everything else. Law, finance, medicine, accounting, consulting, writing, design. Not in ten years. One to five years. Some say less. Dario Amodei has publicly predicted AI will eliminate 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within one to five years. This is different from every previous wave of automation. AI isn’t replacing one specific skill. It’s a general substitute for mental work. Whatever you retrain for, it’s improving at that too. The people who will come out of this best are the ones who start engaging now — not with fear, but with curiosity and urgency. The future is already here. It just hasn’t knocked on your door yet. It’s about to. 13．What does the author suggest by mentioning February 2020? A．Public reactions are always extreme. B．Experts can foresee global disasters. C．A crisis may be underestimated early. D．Major events unfold within weeks. 14．What does the underlined phrase “cocktail-party version” most likely mean? A．It is deliberately false and misleading. B．It is simplified technical explanation. C．It is optimistic to avoid conflicts. D．It is polished and socially comfortable. 15．What is the function of the paragraph beginning “Here’s what nobody outside of tech quite understands”? A．It explains tech workers’ higher pay. B．It broadens warning beyond experience. C．It limits preparation to insiders. D．It proves his founder identity. 16．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．It warns that AI-driven change is arriving faster than expected. B．It explains how AI improves productivity in technical fields. C．It argues that retraining can prevent large-scale unemployment. D．It compares the AI boom to past waves of automation. 五. （2026·湖南长沙·二模）Have you ever noticed people around you who always seem to be “creating drama”? John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments, each post framed as an essential scene in her personal story. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority. In doing so, they often struggle to genuinely understand or empathize with the experiences of those around them. Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征).” What causes this syndrome? Cultural and media influences, such as movies, books and TV shows centered on a single character, shape people’s perception of their own life roles. Social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok further facilitate this tendency by rewarding self-presentation and attention-seeking behaviors. Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset. This mindset is not entirely negative, as framing oneself as life’s leading role can develop a strong sense of purpose and motivation, encouraging individuals to pursue their goals with greater confidence and determination. However, its potential downsides often outweigh these benefits: It breeds more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in mutual interactions. Since main character syndrome is not a formally recognized psychological disorder, there is no targeted medical treatment for it. Nevertheless, practical approaches can effectively address its underlying issues: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps individuals adjust self-centered behaviors and address interpersonal relationships; empathy training enhances the ability to understand and appreciate others’ feelings; mindfulness practices promote a more grounded and less self-focused perspective; and social skills workshops develop collaborative and empathetic interpersonal relationships. Together, these practices cultivate balanced self-awareness and fuel meaningful personal growth. 17．How does the author illustrate the term “main character syndrome”? A．By giving examples. B．By defining a concept. C．By quoting an expert. D．By providing statistics. 18．Who is most likely to have the main character syndrome? A．Students absorbed in social media. B．Teenagers modelling roles in the movies. C．People struggling with physical disabilities. D．Children prioritized by overprotective parents. 19．What is the author’s attitude toward the main character syndrome? A．Unclear. B．Critical. C．Favorable. D．Dismissive. 20．What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．Star of Your Own Story? B．To Focus on Yourself or Others? C．Acting in the Way You Wish? D．Right to Be the Main Character? 六. （2026·福建龙岩·二模）Should we apply genetic (基因) engineering to wildlife? What if we could make sea birds resistant to a deadly fly by making changes to their DNA? Or engineer fish to tolerate pollution? Or design corals to survive warming oceans? Thanks to scientific advances, such possibilities are now within reach. This question was debated at 2025 International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) World Conservation Congress, during which conservationists rejected a proposed postponement on releasing genetically engineered species into the wild. Ahead of the gathering, over 90 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOS) had urged the IUCN to “say no to engineer wild species”. Yet this overlooks a reality: humans have been reshaping other species’ genetics for thousands of years. It started around 30,000 years ago with domestication, as grey wolves evolved (进化) into dogs and red junglefowl into chickens. Hundreds of years ago, intentional selective breeding (培育) enhanced desirable features — meatier cattle and longer pigs — guiding evolution through breeding without direct gene editing. Things didn’t stop here, however. Human activity is affecting the DNA of all species. While warming our world, and destroying wild habitats, we are causing evolution to speed up. In New York’s Central Park, for instance, white-footed mice have developed genes digesting fatty foods, even pizza. If changing the DNA of wild species is a line you feel should never be crossed, then I have news for you. That ship sailed long ago. From Robert Bakewell’s selective breeding in the 18th century, to the development of IVF (试管婴儿) in the 1970s, to the cloning of Dolly the sheep in the 1990s, each leap once met with doubt until it was accepted. Opponents’ concerns at the IUCN conference are valid: unlike traditional breeding, gene editing introduces new characteristics and mixes cross-species genes, requiring clear boundaries for acceptable changes. However, facing a mass extinction of 150-200 species daily, traditional conservation is insufficient, IUCN allowing cautious, responsible genetic engineering. We are the ones driving biodiversity loss. If new tools can help repair some of the damage, isn’t it at least worth a careful, regulated try? 21．What was the attitude of NGOS toward genetic engineering? A．Supportive. B．Opposed. C．Reserved. D．Indifferent. 22．How did ancient people change animal genes? A．Through editing genes directly. B．Via changing their habitats purposely. C．By domesticating and selective breeding. D．With intentional cross-species breeding. 23．What does the underlined sentence “That ship sailed long ago.” mean in paragraph 5? A．It happened well before now. B．That event belongs to the past. C．The technology is outdated. D．The problem is getting worse. 24．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Protecting Wildlife with Genes B．Gene Changes of Species C．Pros and Cons of Gene Editing D．Editing Nature to Fix Our Failures 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）阅读专项训练十七（D篇）及答案详解》参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 D B C D D C C A A B 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B C C D B A A D B A 题号 21 22 23 24 答案 B C A D 一. 1．D 2．B 3．C 4．D 【难度】0.68 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要探讨芝加哥大学计划重组艺术与人文学院的背后原因，指出校方以资金压力为借口，实则是长期向STEM领域大量投入所致，并分析了美国高校忽视人文教育的深层根源，批判了这种偏离教育核心使命的做法。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“In July, the University of Chicago’s principal announced plans to “restructure” its Division of the Arts and Humanities, potentially reducing language instruction, establishing minimum class sizes and so on(7 月，芝加哥大学的校长宣布了对艺术与人文学院进行“重组”的计划，可能包括削减语言课程、设定最低班级规模等措施。)”以及根据“As Clifford Ando, a distinguished professor of classics at Chicago, details the university’s leadership, has for years spent vast amounts of money, largely on STEM projects, and then attempted to weaken its Division of the Arts and the Humanities as a means to pay for these investments.(芝加哥大学著名古典学教授克利福德·安藤详细说明，该校领导层多年来将大量资金投入STEM项目，并试图削弱艺术与人文学院来为这些投资买单。)”可推知，安藤教授认为芝加哥大学的重组计划是因为对STEM领域的巨额投资。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Many reasons suggest themselves. Surely the endless reports of artificial intelligence spelling the end of reading and writing aren’t helping matters. STEM fields secure far more financial aid and thus serve as potentially important sources of income for universities. But we should not overlook a deeper root traced back to the 19th century.(原因不言而喻。当然那些关于人工智能将终结阅读和写作的无休止的报道并没有起到任何积极的作用。理工科领域获得了更多的财政资助，因此成为大学潜在的重要收入来源。但我们也不能忽视一个可以追溯到19世纪的更深层次的原因。)”可知，文中提及了人工智能的影响、STEM领域的经济优势、19世纪的教育改革转向这三个原因。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“They ought to offer students space for reflection on human life, balance character development with career training, and preserve human cultural heritage as diligently as they advance new knowledge.(他们本应为学生提供反思人类生活的空间，在性格培养与职业培训之间取得平衡，并在推进新知识的同时勤勉地保护人类文化遗产。)”以及全文对校方以资金为借口忽视人文教育的描述，可推知作者对这些变化持批判态度。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第一段首句“In July, the University of Chicago’s principal announced plans to “restructure” its Division of the Arts and Humanities, potentially reducing language instruction, establishing minimum class sizes and so on(7 月，芝加哥大学的校长宣布了对艺术与人文学院进行“重组”的计划，可能包括削减语言课程、设定最低班级规模等措施。)”可知，文章以芝加哥大学重组艺术与人文学院的事件为切入点，分析了美国高校削减人文教育经费、弱化人文学科的多重原因，指出高校偏离了培养学生反思能力、保护文化遗产的核心使命。因此推断文章主要讨论了美国大学忽视人文教育的问题。故选D。 二. 5．D 6．C 7．C 8．A 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了承认自己状态良好是一种情感力量及其重要性。 5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“As a result, expressions of personal stability can be misunderstood as indifference or privilege, making people hesitate to share their neutral or positive wellbeing.(因此，个人稳定的表达可能会被误解为冷漠或特权，使人们犹豫是否要分享他们的中性或积极的幸福感)”可知，人们担心说“我很好”会显示出缺乏关心。故选D。 6．词句猜测题。根据第三段中 “It acts as an emotional bulwark, allowing individuals to navigate the waves of collective stress without being overwhelmed.(它充当着一种情感bulwark，使人们能够在集体压力的浪潮中应对自如而不被压垮)”可知，bulwark在这里表示能抵御压力的“支撑，屏障，支持”，A. Measurement.测量；B. Barrier.屏障；C. Support.支持；D. Pressure.压力。故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence.(因此，培养并承认这种 “quietly okayness（平静的安好）” 是一种情绪复原力。它包括这些做法：状态真的好时诚实回答、重视危机与亢奋之间稳定的中间地带、允许自己不带愧疚地心怀感恩，以及通过专注的陪伴把平静传递给他人)”可知，当你真正感觉良好时告诉朋友你很好，这样做最能说明“平静的安好”。故选C。 8．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Therefore, cultivating and acknowledging this “quiet okayness” is a form of emotional resilience. It involves several practices: answering honestly when genuinely well, valuing the stable middle ground between crisis and excitement, allowing oneself to feel gratitude without guilt, and sharing one’s calm through attentive presence.

(康涅狄格州的临床心理学家芭芭拉・格林伯格说：“各个年龄段、有同理心的人都明白，有时说些善意的小谎言可以保护他人免受伤害。我遇到的大多数人说这些善意的谎言，是因为他们明白，时时刻刻百分之百地说实话并没有好处。”)”可知，根据芭芭拉・格林伯格的说法，善意的谎言是很普遍的。故选A项。 10．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something unpleasant on you; it’s not just about the person the white lie is being told to.(事实是，不说真话可能会给你自己带来不愉快的事情；这不仅仅关乎被欺骗的人。)”可知，布鲁尔博士通过例子想表达善意的谎言会伤害说谎者和听者双方。故选B项。 11．推理判断题。根据第三段中的““So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intention of the white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love. Otherwise, white lies — especially when told to avoid personal responsibility — can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity,” she adds. (她补充说：“所以，如果一位母亲明明看到女儿体重增加了，却对女儿说‘你看起来很棒’，这种情况是可以理解的。这体现了善意谎言的出发点——善良、保护和无条件的爱。但如果是为了逃避个人责任而说善意的谎言，就可能引发人与人之间的不信任循环，最终损害诚信。”)”可知，布鲁尔博士支持出于善意、保护和爱的目的的善意谎言。爸爸告诉儿子丢失的宠物在农场快乐生活，是出于保护孩子的善意，符合这一观点。故选B项。 12．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“Therefore, it’s important to ask ourselves when it is and isn’t appropriate to deliver the honest truth, and when it’s best to step back and offer a more delicate response.(因此，重要的是问自己什么时候该说真话，什么时候该退后一步给出更委婉的回应。)”可知，文章强调说善意的谎言前要三思，要在诚实与委婉之间找到平衡，因此，C项“说善意的谎言前要三思”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 四. 13．C 14．D 15．B 16．A 【难度】0.52 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要介绍了人工智能的快速发展及其对未来职业和社会的深远影响。 13．推理判断题。根据第一段“Then, over three weeks, the entire world changed. I think we’re in the “this seems exaggerated” phase of something much, much bigger than Covid.(随后，在短短三周的时间里，整个世界发生了巨变。我认为我们正处于某种远比新冠疫情更为严重的问题的“这似乎有些夸张”的阶段。)”可知，作者提及2020年2月是暗示危机可能在初期被低估。故选C。 14．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Because the honest version sounds like I’ve lost my mind.(因为如果讲出真相，听起来就像是我疯了似的。)”可知，如果说出真相，人会觉得作者是疯了，所以作者一直给人们的是礼貌的版本，是经过润色的，给人舒服的感觉的版本，cocktail-party version意为“鸡尾酒会的版本”，和“It is polished and socially comfortable.(它是经过精心打磨、适合社交场合的。)”意思相近。故选D。 15．推理判断题。根据第三段“Here’s what nobody outside of tech quite understands: the reason people in the industry are sounding the alarm is because this already happened to us. We’re not making predictions. We’re telling you what already occurred in our own jobs.(以下这一点科技圈外的人士并不完全理解：行业内的专业人士发出警报的原因在于，这种情况已经发生在我们身上了。我们并非在进行预测，而是向你们讲述我们自身工作中已经发生的事情。)”可知，这里所说的并非外界对科技行业人士高薪现象的普遍理解，本段落的作用是将警示范围扩大至除工作经验之外的其他方面。故选B。 16．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第三段“Dario Amodei has publicly predicted AI will eliminate 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within one to five years. This is different from every previous wave of automation. AI isn’t replacing one specific skill. It’s a general substitute for mental work. Whatever you retrain for, it’s improving at that too.(达里奥·阿莫迪埃曾公开预测，在未来一到五年内，人工智能将使50%的初级白领工作岗位消失。这与以往的每一次自动化浪潮都不相同。人工智能并非取代某一特定技能，而是对脑力工作进行了一种普遍的替代。无论你重新学习什么技能，它在这方面的表现都在不断提升。)”和最后一段“The future is already here. It just hasn’t knocked on your door yet. It’s about to.(未来已经到来。只是它还没有敲响你的门。但它即将来临。)”可知，本文主要讲的是人工智能的快速发展及其对未来职业和社会的深远影响，因此目的是警告称，由人工智能驱动的变革来得比预期的还要迅速。故选A。 五. 17．A 18．D 19．B 20．A 【难度】0.75 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了“主角综合征”的表现、成因、利弊及应对方法。 17．推理判断题。根据第一段中“John always turns minor workplace disagreements into intense conflicts, describing them as if they were plot twists in a horror movie. Emily on social media carefully selects every photo to present her life as a series of idealized moments, each post framed as an essential scene in her personal story. Or consider Mark, who often expects special treatment in group settings and reacts with visible disappointment when he isn’t given priority.(约翰总是把工作中的小分歧变成激烈的冲突，描述它们就像恐怖电影中的情节转折。艾米丽在社交媒体上精心挑选每一张照片，将自己的生活呈现为一系列理想化的时刻，每一条帖子都被框定为她个人故事中必不可少的场景。或者想想马克，他经常期望在群体环境中得到特殊待遇，当没有得到优先对待时，他会表现出明显的失望。)”可知，作者通过举例John、Emily和Mark的行为来说明“主角综合征”的表现。故选A。 18．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Additionally, personalities like narcissistic (自恋的) tendencies or emotional struggles such as insecurity and low self-esteem, as well as self-focused family upbringing, can increase the likelihood of developing such a mindset.(此外，自恋倾向等性格特征，或缺乏安全感、自卑等情感困扰，以及以自我为中心的家庭教养方式，都会增加形成这种心态的可能性。)”以及常识可知，过度保护孩子的父母会让孩子以自我为中心，增加形成“主角综合征”这种心态的可能性。故选D。 19．推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, its potential downsides often outweigh these benefits: It breeds more than enough self-centeredness, weakens interpersonal empathy, and ruins genuine relationships by reducing others to mere “supporting roles” rather than equals in mutual interactions.(然而，它的潜在缺点往往超过这些好处：它会产生过多的自我中心主义，削弱人际间的同理心，并通过将他人贬低为仅仅是“配角”而不是相互互动中的平等者来破坏真正的关系。)”可知，作者认为“主角综合征”的缺点大于优点，由此可推知，作者对“主角综合征”持批判态度。故选B。 20．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是结合第一段中“Such behavior is characteristic of what is commonly referred to as “main character syndrome (综合征).”(这种行为是通常所说的“主角综合征”的典型特征。)”可知，文章主要介绍了“主角综合征”的表现、成因、利弊及应对方法，故A项“Star of Your Own Story?(你故事中的明星？)”作为文章标题最为合适，既体现了文章主题，又能够吸引读者注意。故选A。 六. 21．B 22．C 23．A 24．D 【难度】0.75 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了是否应该将基因工程应用于野生动物保护的问题，并介绍了2025年IUCN世界自然保护大会上关于基因工程物种的辩论，回顾了人类改变物种基因的历史，分析了反对者的担忧，并主张在严格监管下谨慎尝试基因工程技术以修复人类对自然造成的破坏。 21．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Ahead of the gathering, over 90 Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOS) had urged the IUCN to “say no to engineer wild species”.(在此次会议召开之前，超过90家非政府组织（NGOS）曾强烈呼吁国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）“拒绝人为改造野生物种”)”可知，NGOS对基因工程持反对态度。故选B。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段“It started around 30,000 years ago with domestication, as grey wolves evolved (进化) into dogs and red junglefowl into chickens. Hundreds of years ago, intentional selective breeding (培育) enhanced desirable features — meatier cattle and longer pigs — guiding evolution through breeding without direct gene editing.(它开始于大约3万年前的驯化，从灰狼进化成狗，红丛林鸡进化成鸡。数百年前，人们通过有意识的选择性繁殖来强化优良特征——比如肉质更肥美的牛和体型更长的猪——从而引导了进化过程，这一过程并未采用直接的基因编辑技术)”可知，古人通过驯化和选择性培育来改变动物基因。故选C。 23．词句猜测题。根据划线句后文“From Robert Bakewell’s selective breeding in the 18th century, to the development of IVF (试管婴儿) in the 1970s, to the cloning of Dolly the sheep in the 1990s, each leap once met with doubt until it was accepted.(从18世纪罗伯特·贝克威尔的有选择性的人工育种，到20世纪70年代体外受精技术的发展，再到20世纪90年代克隆绵羊多利的出现，每一次重大突破起初都遭遇了质疑，但最终都被人们所接受)”可知，人类改变物种基因的历史早已开始。由此可知，划线句That ship sailed long ago(那艘船早就启航了)，意为“这件事早在现在之前就已经发生了”。故选A。 24．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Should we apply genetic (基因) engineering to wildlife? What if we could make sea birds resistant to a deadly fly by making changes to their DNA? Or engineer fish to tolerate pollution? Or design corals to survive warming oceans?(我们应该对野生动物进行基因工程改造吗？如果我们能通过改变海鸟的DNA，让它们抵抗一种致命的蝇虫呢？或者通过基因工程让鱼类能够适应污染环境？或者设计让珊瑚能够在变暖的海洋中生存？)”可知，文章主要论述了面对人类活动导致的物种灭绝危机，是否应该利用基因工程技术来修复人类对自然造成的破坏。由此可知，D项“Editing Nature to Fix Our Failures(编辑自然以弥补我们的过失)”最能概括文章主旨。A项过于片面；B项未涉及基因工程的应用；C项Pros and Cons of Gene Editing(基因编辑的利弊分析)并非文章重点，文章更侧重支持谨慎应用。故选D。 答案第1页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
