2026届高三英语各地模考或重点中学（联考）阅读专项训练二十（C篇）及答案详解 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 二. （2026·广西南宁·二模） The next time you find yourself in a car, driving along a winding road, why not turn on a cheerful song? It might help you recover from car sickness. A team of researchers led by neuroscientist Yilun Li at China’s Henan Institute of Science and Technology has found music may be a surprisingly effective way to reduce travel-related discomfort and dizziness. In the experiments, 30 volunteers used a machine that imitated (模仿) car driving, in which they were made to feel carsick while wearing an electroencephalograph (EEG) cap. This allowed researchers to “read” the volunteers’ brain activity in real time, as it changed from a stable state to one of carsickness, and gradually back again. Volunteers were divided into six groups. Four groups listened to a minute of music after the sick-making drive; one group listened to no music after the drive, and instead spend one minute meditating (冥想), that is, staying calm and focusing on their breathing; and one ended the drive right before volunteers were expected to feel discomfort. The researchers found that joyful music reduced symptoms of carsickness by 14% compared to the group that meditated. Soft music was the next best type. It reduced symptoms by 13.4% compared to the meditation controls. It’s difficult to evaluate how significant these changes are, as the current experiments were grounded in a small group of people with limited statistical power. Even so, the results have found music can be powerful — changing the way we feel, for better or worse. Previous studies have also shown that a favorite music can reduce symptoms of visually caused carsickness or “cybersickness” from virtual reality devices. But while some research suggests that sad music can improve mood and make us feel good, it’s possible that in some situations, it can have the opposite effect. Sad music may worsen discomfort through emotional connection, the authors suggest. In contrast, cheerful or relaxing music may help volunteers maintain a good physical state, thus improving their comfort. 1．What is the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph? A．To give practical advice to drivers. B．To introduce a research discovery. C．To explain a new scientific theory. D．To question an old common belief. 2．How did the researchers measure the volunteers’ brain activity? A．By testing in a moving car. B．By playing different songs. C．By observing their behavior. D．By using a special device. 3．What is one disadvantage of the experiments? A．Random volunteer subjects. B．Limited music types. C．Short experiment time. D．Small sample size. 4．What is implied about music’s effect on motion sickness? A．Its effect relies on personal taste in music. B．Its emotional types define its final effect. C．It may produce unintended negative results. D．It primarily addresses physical symptoms. 二. （25-26高三下·湖南长沙·开学考试） Psychologists have become increasingly interested in how switching between languages influences thinking — a phenomenon known as the “foreign language effect”. Unlike linguistic determinism, which suggests a language’s structure shapes thought, this effect stems from the general experience of using a second language, often making people more rational and open-minded. Research pioneered by Professor Boaz Keysar shows this strongly influences moral reasoning. When considering the “trolley problem” — whether to sacrifice one life to save five — people are twice as likely to make the utilitarian (实用主义的) choice when using their second language. The emotional distance provided by a foreign language appears to reduce instincts (本能) reactions. The effect also reduces classic cognitive biases. People’s distaste for financial loss is much less strong when bets are presented in a foreign language. Speaking a second language can also lessen how easily we are influenced by how information is framed and our reluctance to quit failing projects. Similarly, the “bias blind spot”, where people believe they are less biased than others, diminishes when thinking in another tongue. Over a decade of research, the effect has proven consistent and repeatable. Beyond decision-making, the foreign language effect impacts memory. Recalling traumatic events in a second language causes less emotional distress. Recent studies show it also reduces false memories: When presented with misleading information, people are better at avoiding errors if the material is in their foreign language, as they engage in more careful, deliberative thinking when processing information in a non-native tongue. In our globalized world, this research suggests a practical cognitive tool. Deliberately switching to a second language can help us become more detached and objective. Whether evaluating investments, processing personal upsets, or considering controversial policies, using a foreign language can provide valuable emotional distance and reduce automatic reactions. For language learners, this is an unexpected payoff; for others, it’s a compelling reason to start learning. 5．What does paragraph 3 indicate about the effect? A．It is a surprising new discovery. B．It requires a long time to prove. C．It turns out to be reliable over time. D．Its mechanisms are fully understood. 6．Why are people less likely to form false memories when recalling in a foreign language? A．They give top priority to correctness. B．They get in a more thoughtful process. C．They engage in more automatic thinking. D．They avoid thinking about difficult topics. 7．What is a practical benefit of applying the effect in real life? A．Reducing automatic reactions entirely. B．Ensuring perfectly reasonable decisions. C．Accelerating the decision-making process. D．Increasing objectivity and emotional distance. 8．What is the main idea of the text? A．Benefits of using a second language. B．Discussion on linguistic determinism. C．Necessity of learning a second language. D．Challenges of learning foreign languages. 三. （2026·湖北黄石·二模） Research led by King’s College London offers convincing evidence that viewing original artwork in a gallery does more than uplift the spirit — it measurably improves physical health. The study demonstrates that this activity can significantly reduce stress and may even strengthen the immune system. To investigate the physiological effects of looking at art, researchers designed an experiment involving 50 UK volunteers aged 18-40. Participants were divided into two matched groups based on age, gender, and baseline stress levels. One group visited the Courtauld Gallery to view original paintings by renowned artists such as Van Gogh and Gauguin, while the other observed high-quality digital reproductions of the same artworks in a neutral laboratory setting. Throughout the 20-minute session, each participant wore research-grade digital watches that continuously monitored heart rate variability and skin temperature — key indicators of autonomic nervous system activity. Saliva (唾液) samples were collected immediately before and after the viewing period to measure biochemical changes. These samples were later analyzed for levels of cortisol, a hormone linked to stress, which is associated with inflammation (炎症) and chronic diseases. Remarkably, researchers found that for those viewing original art, levels of the stress hormone dropped by 22%, whereas the control group levels fell by just 8%. Meanwhile, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α), which are linked to stress and a number of chronic diseases, dropped by 30% and 28% respectively for gallery viewers, with no change in the control group. This suggests that art has a potentially calming effect on the body’s inflammatory responses. “From a scientific perspective, the most exciting out-take is that art had a positive impact on three different body systems — the immune, endocrine (内分泌的), and autonomic systems — simultaneously. This is a unique finding, and something we were genuinely surprised to see,” explains Dr Tony Woods, who is the senior author of the study. Though art has long been associated with improved well being, this study provides the scientific support that it’s healing for our body as well. 9．What was the main goal of the research? A．To compare different art styles’ effects. B．To promote visits to a specific art gallery. C．To measure art’s physical impact scientifically. D．To prove authentic art boosts creativity greatly. 10．How was the experiment conducted? A．By using psychological questionnaires. B．By surveying artists and visitors separately. C．By testing groups under different conditions. D．By focusing on short - term emotional changes. 11．What key change did original art cause? A．A sharp increase in heart rate. B．A rise in blood pressure levels. C．A drop in participants’ skin temperature. D．A reduction in stress and inflammatory markers. 12．Why does Dr. Tony Woods call the discovery “unique”? A．It confirms art’s link to mental pleasure. B．It uses a new method for data collection. C．It finds pressure levels drop significantly. D．It shows art benefits multiple body systems. 四. （2026·河北保定·一模） Elaine recently bought a gorgeous stained-glass statement mirror on an online marketplace, and then she found she was rearranging her entire bedroom to match its luxurious aesthetic (美感) and color scheme. She didn't have a bedroom redesign in her budget, but that wasn't stopping her. Have you ever updated one thing in your home and suddenly found yourself with a laundry list of changes you want to make? This phenomenon is called the Diderot Effect. The phenomenon got its name from French philosopher Denis Diderot. In 1769, Diderot penned an essay describing the receipt of a new dressing gown, which sparked a series of impulsive (易冲动的) purchases that sank him into debt — and thus lending his name to this psychological phenomenon. This isn't just a consequence of 18th-century behavior, though. The Diderot effect is alive and well today. Don't be too hard on yourself if you fall victim to the Diderot effect. Psychotherapist Dr. Daryl Appleton says it's a very human response, similar to the feeling when you put on brand-new clothes, but then wear your worn-out shoes — the mismatch is uncomfortable. What's happening beneath the surface is partly neurological (神经学的). When we seek something new, our brain releases more dopamine, often called our “ pleasure chemical” that drives desire. So, that rush you feel when you start fixing the things around the shiny new object is not just aesthetics; it's brain chemistry. We're born to long for novel things. The Diderot Effect can show up anywhere from your closet to your career. Therapist Dr. Alfonso Ferguson says, “Often, what's really happening underneath is a desire to feel in harmony with one's space — to finally feel a sense of pride, peace, or even safety that may have been missing in other parts of life.” It's not always a bad thing to want your space to progress with you. But if it starts to feel compulsive, it can be pretty difficult to escape the cycle. You'll keep chasing the next upgrade. 13．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To analyse reasons. B．To lead in the topic. C．To conduct a comparison. D．To present viewpoints. 14．What is the motivation behind the Diderot Effect according to paragraph 3? A．An attempt to escape stress from one's work. B．A desire to achieve harmony in one's life. C．A rush to show off one's wealth. D．A biological urge to seek novelties. 15．What does the underlined word “compulsive” in the last paragraph mean? A．Uncontrollable. B．Adaptable. C．Unrealistic. D．Casual. 16．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．How Our Daily Needs Help Fuel Endless Purchase B．The Science of Holding Back Endless Consumption C．Why One New Thing Changes Everything D．The Psychology Behind Chasing Harmony 五. （2026·云南昆明·模拟预测） Astronomers have just spotted one of the biggest spinning structures ever seen. A string of 14 galaxies spanning 5.5 million light-years is rotating (旋转) together, located inside a spinning chunk of the cosmic web (宇宙网). Such a consistent direction of spin is unexpected and could complicate major upcoming surveys. Scientists found the structure in data from the MeerKAT radio telescope. Later, they saw that members on one end of the string were moving toward us, while those on the other end were moving away. They also found that outside its central line, the main part races around at some 250,000 mph (400,000 km/h). The galaxies are full of neutral hydrogen, the raw material for star formation. Because hydrogen is easily disturbed, it acts like a sign, revealing the flow of gas and momentum (动量). That makes this structure a live demo of how galaxies grow, acquiring material and spinning up over time. What surprised the team is that most of the galaxies are also turning around their own center in the same direction as the whole structure is spinning. Astronomers generally think galaxies rotate randomly. But in this case, “We believe this is caused by the gravitational interaction between the galaxies and the structure,” says Madalina Tudorache, the leading researcher. More specifically, the structure is passing its spin on to the galaxies through “a transfer of angular momentum (角动量).” This provides important clues to how a galaxy’s environment affects its formation and evolution. Giant spinning structures such as this could throw a wrench into current and future cosmological surveys. Present projects study the universe by exploiting the fact that light from cosmic objects is bent to Earth by the gravity of matter it passes, which can make galaxies appear to be lined up. But if galaxies are actually lined up, it could produce a false signal, making our maps incorrect. “This structure breaks our assumption that all galaxies are randomly oriented,” says Naomi Robertson, a research associate at the University of Edinburgh, adding that such observations help astronomers test data analysis methods and explore the cosmic web more fully by combining multiple datasets. 17．What do we know about the newly discovered structure? A．It is the largest spinning structure ever found. B．It consists of 14 galaxies moving in random directions. C．Its galaxies spin in the opposite direction of the structure. D．Its galaxies contain neutral hydrogen uncovering gas flow. 18．What can be learned from Tudorache’s words about the discovery? A．It happens by chance and has little scientific significance. B．It results from the structure transferring its spin to the galaxies. C．It proves that galaxies always spin in the same direction. D．It challenges all existing theories about galaxy formation. 19．What does the underlined phrase “throw a wrench into” in the last paragraph mean? A．Completely destroy. B．Cause problems for. C．Slightly enhance. D．Provide support for. 20．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．How do Galaxies Get Their Spin? B．Will Lined-up Galaxies Ruin Space Surveys? C．Giant Spinning Galaxies Found in Cosmic Web D．Studying Galaxies Through the Cosmic Web 六. （2026·云南昆明·模拟）When it comes to most new technologies, early adopters tend to be the people who know and understand the tools the best. New research suggests that with artificial intelligence, the opposite seems to be true. “When you don’t really get what’s going on under the hood, AI creating poems or recipes seems amazing, even magical,” says Stephanie Tully, one of the study’s authors at the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business. “And that feeling can actually increase people’s willingness to use it.” That finding challenges the common assumption. “In other domains, like wine, the people who know the most about it are wine lovers,” says Tully. “With AI, it’s the contrary.” Across seven studies, the researchers assessed people’s AI literacy (知识) using different methods, including a 25-item questionnaire they created and a 17-question test created using two AI systems. In one experiment, the researchers recruited 234 undergraduates, assessed their AI literacy and then asked them to consider writing four papers on topics ranging from how the assassination (刺杀) of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led to World War I to a poem about falling in love in Venice. The participants were then asked if they would or wouldn’t use an AI system to help them complete the assignment and to what extent. The students who scored lower on AI literacy were more likely to use AI to complete the assigned tasks than people with higher AI literacy who, meanwhile, recognized that AI is an algorithm (算法), not magic, the researchers say. “Understanding that AI is just pattern-matching is an effective approach, which wipes out the emotional experience,” suggests Gil Appol, another co-author. 21．What makes people more willing to use AI? A．An awareness of human limitations. B．An understanding of new technologies. C．A feeling of awe regarding AI’s ability. D．A sense of despair for lack of knowledge. 22．Which statement agrees with the findings of the new study? A．Writing poems is a behavior unique to humans. B．Adopting AI requires information from other domains. C．Knowing AI the most brings an attachment to it. D．Having less knowledge of AI raises the chances to use it. 23．What is Gil Appel’s remark about? A．Urgency to strengthen confidence in humans. B．Advice to remove unreasonable impressions. C．Call to better human emotional control. D．Action to change AI’s dominant role. 24．Which of the following sections is the text probably selected from? A．Science. B．Entertainment. C．Literature. D．Engineering. 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）阅读专项训练二十（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 B D D B C B D A C C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 D D B D A C D B B C 题号 21 22 23 24 答案 C D B A 一. 1．B 2．D 3．D 4．B 【难度】0.65 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，听欢快的音乐可以有效减轻晕车症状，并探讨了不同类型音乐可能产生的不同影响。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“The next time you find yourself in a car, driving along a winding road, why not turn on a cheerful song?

But if galaxies are actually lined up, it could produce a false signal, making our maps incorrect.(当前的项目通过利用这样一个事实来研究宇宙：来自宇宙天体的光线在经过物质时会因物质的引力而发生弯曲，从而能够使星系看起来排列整齐。但如果星系实际上是排列整齐的，这可能会产生错误的信号，导致我们的地图出现偏差)”可知，这种结构可能使星系看起来排列成行，干扰观测数据，产生错误信号，因此是“给调查带来问题”。“throw a wrench into”是习语，意为“造成阻碍、带来麻烦”。故选B。 20．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Astronomers have just spotted one of the biggest spinning structures ever seen. A string of 14 galaxies spanning 5.5 million light-years is rotating (旋转) together, located inside a spinning chunk of the cosmic web (宇宙网). Such a consistent direction of spin is unexpected and could complicate major upcoming surveys.(天文学家刚刚发现了迄今为止所观测到的最大规模旋转结构之一。由14个星系组成的星系链绵延550万光年，它们共同旋转着，位于一个旋转的宇宙网块内部。这种一致的旋转方向出乎意料，可能会给即将进行的重大观测带来复杂性)”结合文章主要说明了科学家在宇宙网中发现了一个由14个星系组成的巨大旋转结构，其成员星系与整体结构同向旋转，这一发现挑战了传统认知，并为星系演化研究提供了新线索。可知，C选项“在宇宙网中发现巨大旋转星系”最符合文章标题。故选C。 六. 21．C 22．D 23．B 24．A 【难度】0.85 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究指出，越不懂AI的人，越爱用AI。 21．细节理解题。根据第三段““When you don’t really get what’s going on under the hood, AI creating poems or recipes seems amazing, even magical,” says Stephanie Tully, one of the study’s authors at the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business. “And that feeling can actually increase people’s willingness to use it.” (“当你还不真正明白其背后的原理时，AI创作诗歌或食谱似乎令人惊叹，甚至充满魔力，”南加州大学马歇尔商学院的研究作者斯蒂芬妮·图利说道。“这种感觉实际上会增加人们使用它的意愿。”)”可知，对AI能力的敬畏感让人们更愿意使用AI。故选C。 22．细节理解题。根据第四段“That finding challenges the common assumption. “In other domains, like wine, the people who know the most about it are wine lovers,” says Tully. “With AI, it’s the contrary.” (这一发现挑战了常见的假设。“在其他领域，比如葡萄酒，最了解它的往往是葡萄酒爱好者，”图利说道。“而AI的情况则恰恰相反。”)”可知，对AI了解较少会增加使用它的可能性。故选D。 23．推理判断题。根据第六段“The students who scored lower on AI literacy were more likely to use AI to complete the assigned tasks than people with higher AI literacy who, meanwhile, recognized that AI is an algorithm (算法), not magic, the researchers say. (研究者指出，那些在AI素养方面得分较低的学生比那些AI素养较高的人更有可能使用AI来完成指定任务。而那些AI素养较高的人则明白AI不过是一种算法，并非魔法。)”和最后一段““Understanding that AI is just pattern-matching is an effective approach, which wipes out the emotional experience,” suggests Gil Appol, another co-author. (另一位合著者吉尔·阿波尔表示：“认识到AI只是模式匹配是一种有效的方法，它能消除情感体验。”)”可知，吉尔·阿佩尔建议消除对AI不合理的神奇印象。故选B。 24．推理判断题。根据全文可知，文章围绕一项关于AI使用人群的新研究展开，属于科技科学类内容。故选A。 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 $
