2026届高三英语各地模考或重点中学（联考）阅读专项训练十八（七选五）及答案详解 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一.（2026·四川绵阳·三模） Many of us lead very busy lives and we may feel torn in many different directions by our responsibilities. Some people are students, employees, parents and volunteers all at once, while others may spend a lot of time on one or two different life roles. 1 Because it is part of who you are. Vacations are when many of us can find time for our hobbies and interests. We read the novels we want to read, make drawings or solve puzzles while we relax. 2 Find time in your regular weekly schedule to do what you love and set aside specific blocks of time to focus on it. If you love sports, for example, look for a team that requires a minimum time commitment. 3 Meanwhile, you can set aside an hour or two a week to work on your own art projects at home. Nowadays most people turn on the TV for company. 4 When you find yourself not really paying attention, turn off the TV and pick up a book or project that interests you. 5 Even though you are busy most of the time, you’ll probably have the occasional few minutes when there’s really nothing you can get on with. Those ten minutes before a meeting can give you time to read an article or do some puzzles. If you find time for what you love to do on a regular basis, you’re giving yourself a gift that will likely make you feel more fulfilled. A．Figure out what you really love to do. B．Make use of small pockets of time in your life. C．It can be difficult for busy people to spare time for exercise. D．If you love art, you can look for a weekly, evening art class. E．In other words, they don’t really focus on what they are seeing. F．Whatever your lifestyle, you need to find time for what you love to do. G．Doing those activities once or twice a year may not be enough, however. 二. （25-26高二下·辽宁营口·月考） How do you react when you call someone the wrong name, trip over a curb, or wave to a stranger you take for a friend? 6 If yes, you’re definitely not alone. But new research tells us that laughing at these minor mistakes is a wiser choice. New research shows that people often overestimate how harshly others judge their minor social mistakes. For these small, harmless mistakes, laughing at yourself is a far better choice. It can show your social confidence, ease tension and make it clear that the mistake was an accident. 7 To do the research, over 3,000 participants read stories of small mistakes, like walking into a glass door at a party. 8 They even saw photos of the person either laughing or looking embarrassed. The result was clear: Those who laughed off mistakes were seen as warmer, more capable and more genuine. 9 Observers thought embarrassment was often excessive — people felt worse than the situation required. Laughing, by contrast, signals that you know the mistake is unimportant. There is one note to take, though. 10 If a mistake causes real harm to yourself or others, laughing is not an appropriate response. Also, the study didn’t explore the long-term effects of laughing or feeling embarrassed about mistakes. Even so, it proves the famous saying: When you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you. A．Not all mistakes should be met with a laugh. B．Do you fall into a deep sense of embarrassment? C．Then they were told how the person reacted to the blunder. D．This simple reaction can bring you many unexpected benefits. E．What’s more, embarrassment was often considered unnecessary. F．Laughing at yourself will only make others look down upon you. G．People are more likely to forgive others’ big mistakes than small ones. 三. （2026·江苏徐州·二模） As the college entrance examination was approaching, I was under great pressure in senior three. I fixed my mind entirely on review every day, wishing to improve my grades steadily. The constant chirps from a bird nest in the old banyan tree outside the window always disturbed my study. 11 I even discussed with my classmates whether we could ask the school to remove the nest. 12 He did not criticize our selfish idea at all. In his reply, he told us that every small life should be respected, and we needed to learn to live in harmony with birds while pursuing our dreams. To help us study better, the school prepared thick sound-proof curtains and changed part of our evening self-study time properly. We were moved by the headmaster’s kindness. 13 The teacher introduced that these birds were in their breeding period and would leave campus soon. She also told us the importance of protecting wild birds and keeping the ecological balance. My annoyance with the chirps disappeared little by little. One day after class, I went close to the banyan tree to watch the nest. I saw the mother bird flying back and forth with food for her babies. The warm picture made me feel soft in my heart. 14 This experience has changed my attitude towards life. 15 I finally understood that real growth is not only gaining excellent academic results but also learning to be tolerant, gentle and respectful to all lives around us. This warm memory will stay in my heart forever. A．I lost my focus completely. B．I no longer saw the chirps as noise. C．The headmaster replied to us warmly. D．We attended a special biology lecture. E．It taught me what real growth truly means. F．I tried to find a quiet place to study alone. G．Small and lovely lives deserve our care and protection 四. （25-26高三下·湖北宜昌·月考） Elevators can trick your sense of gravity. Your actual weight doesn’t change, yet the number on the scale tells a different story. When the elevator starts going up, the number jumps. When it stops, the number falls. Going down does the opposite. 16 The answer lies in how physicists define “weight.” Your mass remains constant. Gravity near Earth’s surface stays essentially unchanged. 17 That upward push — called the normal force — is what a scale actually measures. This distinction reveals something surprising: you cannot feel gravity. Astronauts aboard the space station prove this. Earth’s gravity up there is still about 90% as strong as at the surface. 18 This is because they are falling together with the station at the same rate, so the floor never pushes up on them. Without that supporting force, they experience the sensation of weightlessness. An elevator briefly changes how hard the floor pushes back. When it starts rising, it must accelerate (加速) you upward. The floor pushes harder than normal. 19 That extra push might add about 10% to the scale reading. Once the elevator reaches a steady speed, acceleration stops and the reading returns to normal. When it slows at the top, the opposite happens — the floor pushes less, so you feel lighter. The same pattern plays out on the way down. 20 It connects to one of Einstein’s most important ideas. He realized that gravity and acceleration are fundamentally linked — an insight that helped him develop general relativity. A．But they feel weightless. B．For a second, you feel heavier. C．Still, is this effect permanent, or just a feeling? D．This everyday experience turns out to be profound. E．What changes is how hard the floor pushes upward. F．That is because the scale reading jumps when you go up. G．So why do you feel heavier or lighter at certain moments? 五. （2026·河北沧州·一模） While pesticides (杀虫剂) are common in many gardens, they’re not the only option when it comes to creating a beautiful backyard. But going organic isn’t merely about avoiding harm of pesticides. 21 Here, we explore steps to create a garden with natural interventions. Try lazy gardening Worried about leaves building up on your ground? Sweep pathways to keep them safe and clear, but leaves left to break down become natural plant nutrition and soil conditioner. 22 These multiple functions lay the foundation for a rich and healthy environment. Reframe the idea of “pests” and “weeds” The Royal Horticultural Society encourages gardeners to think of “pests” as “wildlife in the wrong place”. It reminds us that our plants can usually handle some level of damage, and the aim shouldn’t be to destroy these creatures, but to balance them to a tolerable level. 23 Most weeds are native species that provide food and shelter for wildlife. Use biological controls 24 Unlike pesticides, these natural predators (捕食者) don’t cause any damage to your plants or your health, and they can actually be more effective at targeting a specific problem. For example, got an aphid infestation (蚜虫侵害)? Introduce some beneficial insects that eat aphids. Learn to spot problems early When you can spot and identify problems early on, it’s much easier to take action. For instance, you find disease spots on the leaves of your climbing plants, and quickly cut the infected leaves off — the problem should be solved, and no treatment is required. Or your plants look weak, so you check if the water can go into the soil well, and adjust your watering schedule. 25 A．It’s about working with nature. B．Prevent weeds with organic matters. C．Going organic offers a full harvest of positives. D．They also provide safe habitats for garden creatures. E．Natural enemies can help you manage your garden ecosystem. F．This not only builds your gardening skills but also saves you money. G．Similarly, “weeds” are simply plants growing where we prefer them not to. 六. （2026·安徽·一模） Multilingualism refers to the ability of an individual to use two or more languages competently in daily communication, work, study, or even thinking. Is being multilingual good for your brain? Probably. 26 Let’s start with the potential cognitive (认知的) benefits of multilingualism. Seas of papers have explored the cognitive advantages of multilingualism. Beyond opening conversational doors, it’s said to improve executive function — the ability to ignore distractions, plan tasks, and update beliefs. It’s also linked to a later onset of dementia (痴呆), on average. Here is the good news. 27 A 2019 study showed moderate language learning in adults doesn’t boost executive function but slows down age-related decline. Even if you start later, your brain can still harvest benefits. The biggest benefits seem to come to those who master their second languages fully. Studies of interpreters and translators have provided some of the strongest evidence for a multilingual advantage. For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems than monolinguals, suggesting generally better cognitive control. 28 But there are many massive variables in such studies. 29 Besides, studies have found striking evidence that in poorer parts of the world multilingual people show the strongest advantages from speaking several languages. 30 According to studies, multilingual kids seem to outperform in cognitive development in the early years. They suggest that the effects of languages on the brain are stronger for young children than they are for adults. A．The effects vary. B．Age also matters. C．But widening your pool of social circle is a definite plus. D．This frequent switching sharpens cognitive skills in unique ways. E．It’s never too late to start learning a new language for brain benefits. F．Some researchers argue that the observed advantages might be temporary and fade over time. G．For example, children raised abroad may have cognitive advantages unrelated to multilingualism. 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）阅读专项训练十八（七选五）及答案详解》参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 F G D E B B D C E A 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 A C D B E G E A B D 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 A D G E F C E D G B 一. 1．F 2．G 3．D 4．E 5．B 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍现代人生活忙碌，难以兼顾爱好，并给出在忙碌生活中为自己热爱的事物腾出时间的方法与建议。 1．根据上文“Some people are students, employees, parents and volunteers all at once, while others may spend a lot of time on one or two different life roles.(有些人同时是学生、员工、父母和志愿者，而另一些人可能会在一两个不同的生活角色上花很多时间。)”可知，本段讲述人们生活忙碌、身兼多种角色。F选项（无论你的生活方式如何，你都需要为自己热爱的事情腾出时间。）承接上文不同的生活状态，同时引出后文“Because it is part of who you are.(因为这是你的一部分。)”解释原因。故选F项。 2．根据上文“Vacations are when many of us can find time for our hobbies and interests.

Your actual weight doesn’t change, yet the number on the scale tells a different story. When the elevator starts going up, the number jumps. When it stops, the number falls. Going down does the opposite.(电梯会扰乱你的重力感知。你的实际体重并未改变，但秤上的数字却会呈现出不同的情况。电梯上升时，数字会上升；电梯停止时，数字会下降。电梯下降时则正好相反)”可知，前文讲述电梯升降时体重秤数值会发生变化，上升数值变大、下降数值变小；结合第二段开头“The answer lies in...(答案在于……)”可知空格处提出对应问题。故G选项“那么为什么你会在某些时刻感觉更重或更轻呢？”承上启下，衔接现象与答案。故选G。 17．根据上文“The answer lies in how physicists define “weight.” Your mass remains constant. Gravity near Earth’s surface stays essentially unchanged.(答案在于物理学家是如何定义“重量”的的。你的质量是恒定不变的。在地球表面附近的重力基本上也是不变的)”以及后文“That upward push — called the normal force — is what a scale actually measures.(这种向上的推力——即所谓的“支持力”——正是秤所测量的力)”可知，空前说明人的质量、地球表面支持力基本不变；空后介绍向上的推力（支持力）才是体重秤测量的东西。故E选项“发生变化的是地板向上的推力大小”承接前文不变的因素，引出变化的核心要素。故选E。 18．根据上文“Astronauts aboard the space station prove this. Earth’s gravity up there is still about 90% as strong as at the surface.(空间站上的宇航员们证明了这一点。在那里，地球的引力仍然大约是地球表面引力的90%)”以及后文“This is because they are falling together with the station at the same rate, so the floor never pushes up on them. Without that supporting force, they experience the sensation of weightlessness.(这是因为他们与空间站一同以相同的速率下降，所以地板不会对他们产生向上的推力。没有这种支撑力，他们就会感受到失重的感觉)”可知，前文指出空间站上的重力依旧是地表的90%；后文解释失重的原因。故A选项“但他们却感觉失重”形成转折，符合语境逻辑。故选A。 19．根据上文“An elevator briefly changes how hard the floor pushes back. When it starts rising, it must accelerate (加速) you upward. The floor pushes harder than normal.(电梯会暂时改变地板向你反推的力量大小。当电梯开始上升时，它必须让你向上加速。地板的支持力比平时更大了)”以及后文“That extra push might add about 10% to the scale reading. Once the elevator reaches a steady speed, acceleration stops and the reading returns to normal. When it slows at the top, the opposite happens — the floor pushes less, so you feel lighter. The same pattern plays out on the way down.(这种额外的推力可能会使测量值增加约10%。当电梯达到稳定速度后，加速度就会停止，测量值也会恢复正常。当电梯在顶部减速时，情况则相反——楼层的推力变小，所以你会感觉更轻。在下降的过程中，同样的规律也会发生)”可知，前文提到电梯上升加速时，地板的推力比正常更大；后文说明额外推力会让秤的数值增加。故B选项“一瞬间，你会感觉更重”承接推力变大带来的身体感受。故选B。 20．根据后文“It connects to one of Einstein’s most important ideas. He realized that gravity and acceleration are fundamentally linked — an insight that helped him develop general relativity.(这与爱因斯坦的一个最为重要的理论紧密相关。他认识到引力与加速度之间存在着本质上的联系——这一见解帮助他创立了广义相对论)”可知，后文讲述这一现象和爱因斯坦的重要理论、广义相对论相关，升华内容。故D选项“这种日常体验其实意义深远”总起本段，衔接日常现象与深奥物理理论。故选D。 五. 21．A 22．D 23．G 24．E 25．F 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了打造有机花园的方法，倡导与自然协作，用自然方式维护花园生态平衡。 21．上文“But going organic isn’t merely about avoiding harm of pesticides. (但是，有机种植不仅仅是为了避免杀虫剂的危害)”提到有机种植不仅仅是为了避免杀虫剂的危害，A选项“它是关于与自然合作”中it指代上文提及的有机种植，承接上文，解释了有机种植的真正含义，即与自然合作，符合语境。故选A。 22．上文“Worried about leaves building up on your ground? Sweep pathways to keep them safe and clear, but leaves left to break down become natural plant nutrition and soil conditioner. (担心地上堆积的树叶？清扫小路以保持它们的安全和畅通，但是留下的树叶分解后会成为天然的植物营养和土壤改良剂)”提到树叶分解后会成为天然的植物营养和土壤改良剂，D选项“它们还为花园里的生物提供了安全的栖息地”进一步阐述了树叶的益处，即提供栖息地，符合语境。故选D。 23．上文“The Royal Horticultural Society encourages gardeners to think of “pests” as “wildlife in the wrong place”. It reminds us that our plants can usually handle some level of damage, and the aim shouldn’t be to destroy these creatures, but to balance them to a tolerable level. (英国皇家园艺学会鼓励园丁将“害虫”视为“放错地方的野生动物”。它提醒我们，我们的植物通常可以承受一定程度的损害，目标不应该是消灭这些生物，而是将它们平衡到一个可容忍的水平)”提到英国皇家园艺学会鼓励园丁将“害虫”视为“放错地方的野生动物”，G选项“同样，“杂草”只是长在我们不希望它们长的地方的植物”与上文相呼应，将“杂草”也进行了类似的解释，符合语境。故选G。 24．下文“Unlike pesticides, these natural predators (捕食者) don’t cause any damage to your plants or your health, and they can actually be more effective at targeting a specific problem. For example, got an aphid infestation (蚜虫侵害)? Introduce some beneficial insects that eat aphids. (与杀虫剂不同，这些天然捕食者不会对你的植物或健康造成任何损害，而且它们实际上在针对特定问题时更有效。例如，有蚜虫侵害？引入一些吃蚜虫的有益昆虫)”提到天然捕食者可以帮助解决特定问题，E选项“天敌可以帮助你管理你的花园生态系统”总结了上文内容，即天敌在花园生态系统中的作用，符合语境。故选E。 25．上文“When you can spot and identify problems early on, it’s much easier to take action. For instance, you find disease spots on the leaves of your climbing plants, and quickly cut the infected leaves off — the problem should be solved, and no treatment is required. Or your plants look weak, so you check if the water can go into the soil well, and adjust your watering schedule. (当你能够尽早发现并识别问题时，采取行动就容易多了。例如，你在攀缘植物的叶子上发现了病斑，并迅速剪掉受感染的叶子——问题应该就解决了，不需要治疗。或者你的植物看起来很弱，所以你检查水是否能很好地渗入土壤，并调整你的浇水计划)”提到尽早发现并识别问题可以更容易地采取行动，F选项“这不仅提高了你的园艺技能，还为你节省了钱”总结了上文内容的好处，即提高园艺技能和节省钱，符合语境。故选F。 六. 26．C 27．E 28．D 29．G 30．B 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了多语言对大脑认知功能的影响，包括其潜在的认知益处、影响因素以及年龄因素的作用。 26．根据上文“Is being multilingual good for your brain? Probably.(那么，掌握多门语言对大脑有好处吗？或许会有)”及下文“Let’s start with the potential cognitive (认知的) benefits of multilingualism.( 首先，让我们来看看多语言能力对认知方面可能带来的好处)”可推知，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句。前文提出多语言对大脑有益，后文开始讨论认知益处。C选项“But widening your pool of social circle is a definite plus.(但扩大社交圈绝对是一个好处)”既承接了前文的“probably”，又引出多语言的其他益处，符合语境。故选C。 27．根据上文“Here is the good news.(这是个好消息)”及下文“A 2019 study showed moderate language learning in adults doesn't boost executive function but slows down age-related decline. Even if you start later, your brain can still harvest benefits.(2019年的一项研究表明，成年人适度的语言学习不会提高执行功能，但会减缓与年龄相关的衰退)”可推知，此处应填入与成年人学习语言相关的内容。E选项“It’s never too late to start learning a new language for brain benefits.(为了大脑健康，开始学习一门新语言永远不会太晚。即使你晚一点开始，你的大脑仍然可以收获好处)”与下文“adults”和“Even if you start later”相呼应。故选E。 28．根据上文“For example, they are faster at repeatedly jumping back and forth between simple addition and subtraction problems than monolinguals, suggesting generally better cognitive control.(例如，他们在简单加减法问题之间反复切换的速度比单语者更快，这表明他们通常有更好的认知控制能力)”可推知，此处需要解释这种频繁切换的影响。D选项“This frequent switching sharpens cognitive skills in unique ways.(这种频繁的切换以独特的方式磨练认知技能)”中的“switching”与上文”jumping back and forth”相呼应。故选D。 29．根据上文“But there are many massive variables in such studies.(但这类研究中存在许多巨大的变量)”可推知，此处需要举例说明这些变量。G选项“For example, children raised abroad may have cognitive advantages unrelated to multilingualism.(例如，在国外长大的儿童可能拥有与多语言无关的认知优势)”中的“For example”直接呼应上文的“variables”，举例说明了混杂变量。故选G。 30．根据下文“According to studies, multilingual kids seem to outperform in cognitive development in the early years. They suggest that the effects of languages on the brain are stronger for young children than they are for adults.(根据研究，多语言儿童在早年认知发展方面似乎表现更好。他们认为语言对大脑的影响对幼儿比对成年人更强)”可推知，本段主要讨论年龄因素对多语言益处的影响。B选项“Age also matters.(年龄也很重要)”作为本段主题句，准确概括了段落内容。故选B。 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 $
