专题04 阅读理解（议论文+新闻报道）（广东专用）2026年高考英语一模分类汇编

专题04 阅读理解（议论文+新闻报道） 主题01 人与自我——教育学习 （2026·广东广州·一模） Survey data shows that most freshmen regularly use generative AI, often treating it as “an intellectual partner”, Professor John Hampson reported at a faculty (全体教师) meeting in Elite Technology University (ETU). Students most commonly use it to understand difficult concepts, search, generate study materials, and edit writing. Interestingly, the lowest reported use is for generating text. Meanwhile, students are using faculty office hours and the speaking and writing centers less. In last year’s computer science courses, scores on problem sets increased, yet exam scores declined. “This is concerning,” noted Hampson. “If they were using AI as a study pal, they weren’t absorbing as much as they might think.” Students want clearer AI policies, and Hampson advised faculty to carefully consider and share what level of use they permit, the reasoning behind it, how to cite use of AI, and examples of what’s permissible. He also encouraged department-wide discussions to best prepare students for a workplace where they will need to know how to write or code with its assistance. “I also believe that students need to learn to write and code unaided, to develop critical thinking skills, their agency as citizens, and also meaning — making the ideas that help them understand their own lives,” he added. Some professors expressed concerns about how AI use is impacting students’ mental health and learning. Professor George Wilson noted that students are often highly competitive, and “it’s important to create rules so that competition leads to healthy behaviors that make them better educated people.” While some suggested more one-on-one time with students, others noted that budget restrictions would make that difficult. Professor Poly Burnett observed that lecture attendance is also down. She urged faculty to make lectures something students genuinely want to attend. She also noted that many teachers are making small changes, in hopes of continuing teaching as they’ve previously taught. “We actually have to see this less as a problem and more as an opportunity,” Burnett suggested. “How can ETU lead in rethinking how we teach, how we learn... and have our students be benefiting and being at the leading edge of that?” 1．What does the author imply about the survey findings by using “interestingly” in paragraph 1? A．They indicate a promising trend. B．They contradict a common assumption. C．They capture the faculty’s interest. D．They require further investigation. 2．Which of the following changes is mentioned in paragraph 2? A．Students are interacting more with others. B．AI use has led to better learning outcomes. C．Exam scores rose while homework scores fell. D．Students are using off-line academic services less. 3．Why does Hampson emphasize students writing and coding without AI? A．To clarify acceptable uses of AI in coursework. B．To prepare students for future workplace demands. C．To ensure students develop essential human capacities. D．To improve students’ long-term academic performance. 4．What is Burnett’s suggestion to the faculty? A．Make lectures more entertaining. B．Let students take the leading role. C．Take the chance to reform education. D．Adjust teaching slightly to AI challenges. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍ETU大学关于新生使用生成式AI的调查结果、引发的教学问题及教师们的讨论与建议。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Students most commonly use it to understand difficult concepts, search, generate study materials, and edit writing. Interestingly, the lowest reported use is for generating text. (学生们最常使用它来理解难懂的概念、搜索、生成学习资料和编辑写作。有趣的是，据报告，使用最少的是生成文本。)”可知，人们通常认为生成式AI主要用于生成文本，而调查结果与之相反，因此这与普遍的假设相矛盾。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Meanwhile, students are using faculty office hours and the speaking and writing centers less.(与此同时，学生去教师答疑时间和前往口语与写作中心求助的次数减少了。)”可知，学生们正在减少使用线下学术服务。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的““I also believe that students need to learn to write and code unaided, to develop critical thinking skills, their agency as citizens, and also meaning — making the ideas that help them understand their own lives,” he added. (他补充道：“我还认为，学生需要学会独立写作和编程，以此培养批判性思维能力、作为公民的自主能动性，同时也要建立意义——构建那些能帮助他们理解自身生活的理念。”)”可知，汉普森强调学生在没有AI的情况下写作和编程是为了确保学生发展基本的人类能力。故选C项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““We actually have to see this less as a problem and more as an opportunity,” Burnett suggested. “How can ETU lead in rethinking how we teach, how we learn… and have our students be benefiting and being at the leading edge of that?”(伯内特表示：“事实上，我们不该把这更多看作一个问题，而应更多看作一个机遇。ETU该如何在重新思考教学方式、学习方式……并让我们的学生从中受益、走在前沿这方面起到引领作用？”)”可知，伯内特建议教师们抓住机会改革教育。故选C项。 主题02 人与自我——工作学习 Passage 1 （2026·广东大湾区·一模） As part of its series to prepare students for the future, Stanford University has invited Mike, a 2024 graduate, to share his views. Currently working as a development analyst at an affordable housing organization serving communities in California and Seattle, Mike brings his story to the table. Growing up in affordable housing with his family, Mike felt the benefits of a stable living environment. But he saw other people — relatives and friends — who were constantly moving, living in overcrowded apartments, and even being priced out and having to move elsewhere. That made him realize housing is an important issue and drove him to be a part of addressing those challenges that cities face. Since he started the job in February, Mike has cooperated with local governments to develop plans to construct and fund new affordable housing. His work involves understanding complex policies, researching partnerships and analyzing land suitability. “It is really interdisciplinary, as it connects policy, urban design, and social needs. I’m learning new things every day. Affordable housing is a way to make cities more sustainable, not just economically but also environmentally, by shortening journeys to work or building energy-efficient houses. It motivates me to know that this hard work will eventually result in people being housed, which has widespread effects in communities and families,” he notes. Fortunately, the great courses taken in university have prepared him for his role, everything from real estate law to real estate development and finance through the civil engineering department. “The courses are probably the most relevant to what I am doing now, helping me understand my own experience and think about how I want to channel that into a career,” he mentions. For students interested in pursuing a similar path, Mike stresses taking project-based courses is helpful. He also urges students to apply to career-building programs due to more opportunities for guidance, work experience and networking with other people who may be their future colleagues. 1．What primarily inspired Mike to work on affordable housing? A．His college courses. B．His green values. C．His career ambition. D．His housing experience. 2．Which of the following words can best describe Mike’s job? A．Demanding but rewarding. B．Routine but influential. C．Independent and profitable. D．Specialized and eco-focused. 3．What does Mike intend to do according to the last paragraph? A．To promote courses. B．To highlight challenges. C．To stimulate interest. D．To provide suggestions. 4．From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken? A．Campus Life. B．Career Insights. C．Social Issues. D．Academic Features. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是斯坦福大学2024届毕业生迈克（Mike）受邀分享自己投身保障性住房工作的经历与见解。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Growing up in affordable housing with his family, Mike felt the benefits of a stable living environment. But he saw other people — relatives and friends — who were constantly moving, living in overcrowded apartments, and even being priced out and having to move elsewhere. That made him realize housing is an important issue and drove him to be a part of addressing those challenges that cities face.(迈克与家人成长于保障性住房中，他深切感受到了稳定居住环境带来的益处。但他也看到，其他一些人——包括亲戚和朋友——却不断搬家，住在拥挤不堪的公寓里，甚至因房价过高而被迫搬离。这让他意识到住房是一个重要问题，也驱使他投身于解决城市面临的这些挑战之中。)”可知，他的住房经历激发了迈克投身于保障性住房工作。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“His work involves understanding complex policies, researching partnerships and analyzing land suitability.(他的工作涉及理解复杂的政策、研究合作伙伴关系以及分析土地适宜性。)”可知，他的工作要求很高，根据第三段“Affordable housing is a way to make cities more sustainable, not just economically but also environmentally, by shortening journeys to work or building energy-efficient houses. It motivates me to know that this hard work will eventually result in people being housed, which has widespread effects in communities and families(保障性住房不仅能让城市在经济上更具可持续性，还能通过缩短通勤距离或建造节能房屋，在环境上实现可持续发展。一想到我的辛勤工作最终能让人们有房可住，而这又会对社区和家庭产生广泛影响，我就备受鼓舞)”可知，他的工作是有收获的，因此可用demanding和rewarding描述他的工作，故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“For students interested in pursuing a similar path, Mike stresses taking project-based courses is helpful. He also urges students to apply to career-building programs due to more opportunities for guidance, work experience and networking with other people who may be their future colleagues.(对于有意踏上类似职业道路的学生，迈克强调，选修基于项目的课程很有帮助。他还敦促学生申请职业建设类项目，因为这些项目能提供更多指导机会、工作经验以及与其他可能成为未来同事的人建立人脉的机会。)”可知，最后一段迈克在给出建议。故选D。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“As part of its series to prepare students for the future, Stanford University has invited Mike, a 2024 graduate, to share his views.(作为斯坦福大学助力学生为未来做准备系列活动的一部分，校方邀请了2024届毕业生迈克（Mike）分享他的见解。)”和最后一段“For students interested in pursuing a similar path, Mike stresses taking project-based courses is helpful.

After more than a century of steady academic gains, test scores finally went the other direction. For the first time ever, a new generation is officially dumber than the previous one. The data comes from neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath, who has spent years reviewing standardized testing results across age groups. Horvath told the New York Post. The declines cut across attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function, and general IQ. That’s not just one vulnerable spot. That’s the entire dashboard blinking at once. Horvath took the same message to Capitol Hill(国会) during a 2026 Senate hearing on screen time and children. His framing skipped the generational dunking and focused on exposure. “More than half of the time a teenager is awake, half of it is spent staring at a screen,” he told lawmakers. Human learning, he argued, depends on sustained attention and interaction with other people. Endless feeds and condensed content don’t offer either. Schools leaned hard into technology during the same window. Educational software replaced textbooks, long readings, and extended problem-solving. After class, students returned to phones, tablets, and laptops, bouncing between social feeds and bite-sized explanations of material they never sat with for very long. Horvath described the outcome as students trained to skim. Skimming feels efficient, but it doesn’t build depth. “I’m not anti-tech. I’m pro-rigor,” Horvath told the Post. Rigor, in his view, comes from friction. Reading full texts. Working through confusion. Spending time with material that doesn’t immediately reward you. Take that friction away, and cognitive skills dull. Brains adapt to the environment they’re given, and this one prizes speed over staying power. The same decline appears outside the United States. Horvath told senators that across roughly 80 countries, academic performance drops after digital technology becomes widely embedded in classrooms. The timing alone raises serious questions about how learning environments affect cognitive development. Horvath summed it up bluntly during his testimony. “A sad fact our generation has to face is this: Our kids are less cognitively capable than we were at their age.” His recommendation focused on restraint, dialing back screens in schools, and restoring depth before the next generation is doomed. 1．What did Horvath’s research find? A．Gen Z get obvious weak point in results. B．Gen Z has problematic IQ trends overall. C．Gen Z ‘s major dashboard is missing out. D．Gen Z’s overall cognitive ability drops a lot. 2．What is the correct course of cognitive drop? A．Frequent screen surfing → Reduce group interaction → Lose interest in formal study B．Constant digital exposure → Get used to short feeds → Fail to solve difficult problems C．Heavy device dependence → Give up long readings → Drop efficiency of knowledge learning D．Too much screen time → Lose focus and communication → Lack conditions for deep learning 3．What does “rigor” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A．Far-sighted B．Strict C．Patient D．Deep-learning 4．Which is the best title for the text? A．Is our kids’cognitive drop one worrying truth for parents? B．Shocked for teenagers!You are dumber than your parents! C．Screen time: the real hidden cause of weak learning ability. D．“Our kids are truly less cognitively capable than we were” 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述Z世代认知与学业水平首次出现代际下滑，专家指出过度使用屏幕、校园科技化带来的浅层学习是主因，该问题全球存在，呼吁减少屏幕、回归深度学习。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The declines cut across attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function, and general IQ. That’s not just one vulnerable spot. That’s the entire dashboard blinking at once. (青少年的注意力、记忆力、读写能力、计算能力、执行功能以及整体智商均出现下滑。这并非单一能力出问题，而是所有认知指标全线亮起红灯。)”可知，Z世代的注意力、记忆力、读写计算能力、执行功能和整体智商均出现下降，即整体认知能力大幅下滑。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Human learning, he argued, depends on sustained attention and interaction with other people. Endless feeds and condensed content don’t offer either.(他认为，人类的学习依赖持续的专注力和人际互动，而无穷无尽的信息流、碎片化内容，两者都无法提供。)”以及第四段“Skimming feels efficient, but it doesn’t build depth.(浅读看似高效，却无法构建知识深度。)”可知，过长的屏幕时间导致失去专注力与交流能力，进而缺乏深度学习的条件。与选项D的逻辑链相符。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“Rigor, in his view, comes from friction. Reading full texts. Working through confusion. Spending time with material that doesn’t immediately reward you. (在他看来，……来自学习中的磨砺：通读完整文本、攻克困惑难题、钻研那些无法立刻带来反馈的知识。)”可推测，下文的例子：通读完整文本、攻克困惑难题、钻研那些无法立刻带来反馈的知识，都指的是一种需要付出努力、专注、花费时间、并且追求深入理解而不是浅尝辄止的学习方式。由此可推测，“rigor”指的是通读完整文本、攻克困惑、深耕知识的深度学习。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Gen Z has managed something no modern generation pulled off before. After more than a century of steady academic gains, test scores finally went the other direction. For the first time ever, a new generation is officially dumber than the previous one.(Z世代竟出现了现代任何一代人都未曾有过的情况。一个多世纪以来，学业成绩始终稳步提升，如今却首次掉头下滑。有史以来第一次，新一代人的认知水平正式低于上一代人。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了Z世代人的认知水平正式低于上一代人。选项B“Shocked for teenagers! You are dumber than your parents! (青少年们震惊吧！你们比你们的父母更笨！)”最全面、最准确地概括了文章的核心论点。故选B。 主题03 人与自然——生态环境 （2026·广东江门·一模） For too long, we have held a narrow and biased view of nature, seeing it as something separate from our urban lives — something to be visited in natural parks or distant wilderness. We pass by the moss in a crack or the algae in a gutter (水沟) with indifference, even disgust. However, cities are not empty of life but are unique, lively ecosystems, and recognizing this should allow us to redefine what it means to be a naturalist in the modern world. Within ordinary urban landscapes, life displays extraordinary toughness and creativity. Plants and microorganisms not only survive but grow well in the heat and pollution of city gutters. Urban animals have also developed smart behaviors: Japanese crows use cars to crack nuts, and Australian cockatoos open trash bins for food. Furthermore, cities drive physical changes in their residents. Some lizards have developed stickier feet to better hold on smooth man-made surfaces. This concrete “jungle” is thus not a biological desert but a dynamic, human-made ecosystem, representing a fascinating new chapter in the story of life on our planet. Therefore, the old image of a naturalist — a professional in remote wilds — is outdated. Academic papers and online courses make biology and ecology procurable to everyone. Community labs and nature clubs enable ordinary people to do research with microscopes and other simple tools. When we accept the city as a real ecosystem, we allow everyone to become a “community scientist”. For those feeling disconnected from nature in cities, there’s a new way: just stay curious and notice the ignored ecological corners, and city life may be filled with new surprises and joys. You don’t need to be a professional scientist — anyone can be a naturalist-explorer in the urban wilderness. 1．What phenomenon does the author point out in Paragraph 1? A．Naturalists need professional training. B．City residents overlook nearby nature. C．People favor wilderness over urban life. D．Ecologists redefine biased nature concepts. 2．How does the author show cities are lively ecosystems? A．By criticizing current opinions. B．By suggesting new research findings. C．By giving examples of organism adaptation. D．By comparing biodiversity from different habitats. 3．What does the underlined word “procurable” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Suitable. B．Comfortable. C．Reasonable. D．Accessible. 4．What idea does the author aim to challenge in the passage? A．Naturalists are limited to professionals. B．Evolution mainly exists in wild nature. C．Urbanization damages the environment. D．City holds a distinct and dynamic ecology. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章挑战了将自然与城市生活割裂的传统观念，指出城市本身就是充满活力的生态系统，并主张每个人都可以成为城市中的“自然主义者”。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“For too long, we have held a narrow and biased view of nature, seeing it as something separate from our urban lives — something to be visited in natural parks or distant wilderness. We pass by the moss in a crack or the algae in a gutter (水沟) with indifference, even disgust. (长期以来，我们对自然持有狭隘且有偏见的看法，将其视为与我们城市生活分离的东西——是在自然公园或遥远荒野中才能看到的东西。我们对裂缝中的苔藓或水沟里的藻类漠不关心，甚至厌恶)”可知，作者在第一段指出的现象是城市居民将自然视为与城市生活分离的东西，忽视身边的大自然。故选B项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Plants and microorganisms not only survive but grow well in the heat and pollution of city gutters. Urban animals have also developed smart behaviors: Japanese crows use cars to crack nuts, and Australian cockatoos open trash bins for food. Furthermore, cities drive physical changes in their residents. Some lizards have developed stickier feet to better hold on smooth man-made surfaces. This concrete “jungle” is thus not a biological desert but a dynamic, human-made ecosystem, representing a fascinating new chapter in the story of life on our planet. (植物和微生物不仅在城市水沟的高温和污染中生存，而且生长良好。城市动物也发展出了聪明的行为：日本的乌鸦利用汽车来敲开坚果，澳大利亚的凤头鹦鹉会打开垃圾箱寻找食物。此外，城市还推动了其居民的身体变化。一些蜥蜴进化出了粘性更强的脚，以便更好地抓握光滑的人造表面。 这片钢筋水泥的‌“丛林”并非生态荒漠，而是一个充满活力的人造生态系统，正书写着地球生命故事中一个引人入胜的新篇章)”可知，作者通过举例说明生物在城市的适应能力来展示城市是充满活力的生态系统。故选C项。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Academic papers and online courses make biology and ecology procurable to everyone. (学术论文和在线课程使生物学和生态学对每个人来说都procurable)”以及后文“Community labs and nature clubs enable ordinary people to do research with microscopes and other simple tools. (社区实验室和自然俱乐部让普通人能够使用显微镜和其他简单工具进行研究)”可推知，这些资源让生物学和生态学变得“可获得的”或“易于接触的”。故划线词意为“可获得的”，与“Accessible”同义。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文，结合第三段中“Therefore, the old image of a naturalist — a professional in remote wilds — is outdated. (因此，自然主义者的旧有形象——一个在遥远荒野工作的专业人士——已经过时了)”以及最后一段“You don’t need to be a professional scientist — anyone can be a naturalist-explorer in the urban wilderness. (你不需要成为专业的科学家——任何人都可以成为城市荒野中的自然主义探险家)”可知，作者旨在挑战“自然主义者仅限于专业人士”这一观念。故选A项。 主题04 人与社会——人物介绍 （2026·广东肇庆·一模） Seventeen-year-old Dhanush Eashwar, who has started coding at 7, is one of the 2024 winners of Swift Student Challenge, which tasks young creators with developing apps that solve real-world problems. His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. Using machine learning and augmented reality, it recognizes users’ hand poses and classifies them as American Sign Language (ASL) letters, helping beginners learn ASL. The winning program was developed specifically for the challenge and isn’t in app stores. But the high school senior is working hard on an even more ambitious project that he says will be available to download in the future: an app that translates ASL hand signs to English in real-time — “like a Google Translate for visual languages,” he explained. “I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities,” explained Eashwar, who isn’t deaf himself but took ASL in high school. After attending some deaf events around the region, he realized he had an opportunity. “Machine learning is being used in so many different fields, but something that everyone has is their phone, and that’s in their pocket.” As one of the 50 “distinguished winners” in the challenge, Eashwar attended Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WDC) in June and met the tech company’s CEO, Tim Cook. “That whole experience was really surreal. It was truly a mind-blowing experience, and it was so insightful,” said Eashwar. “And after that experience, I feel more motivated than ever to actually contribute to the technology community and actually do more.” The STEM star is clearly passionate about the tangible (实际的) and wide-reaching solutions that coding and app development can offer the world. “What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared. 1．What is Finger Dance? A．A machine learning device. B．A real-time translation tool. C．An app assisting to learn ASL. D．A program aimed for the deaf. 2．Why did Eashwar decide to develop apps for the deaf and hearing communities? A．To win a series of technological contests. B．To meet Tim Cook at the WDC in person. C．To create scientific innovation projects by coding. D．To connect the two communities using technology. 3．What can be inferred about Eashwar from the text? A．He prefers developing apps for deaf people. B．He is talented for American Sign Language. C．He has a strong sense of social responsibility. D．He is eager to become famous like Tim Cook. 4．What message is the text meant to convey? A．Technology serves society. B．Coding is everything. C．Knowledge changes destiny. D．Practice makes perfect. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了17岁编程天才Eashwar获Swift学生挑战赛奖项，其开发的应用助力聋人与听力正常人群沟通。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. Using machine learning and augmented reality, it recognizes users’ hand poses and classifies them as American Sign Language (ASL) letters, helping beginners learn ASL. (他提交的作品Finger Dance旨在促进聋人群体和听力正常人群之间更好的沟通。该应用利用机器学习和增强现实技术，识别用户的手势并将其归类为美国手语字母，帮助初学者学习美国手语)”可知，Finger Dance是一款辅助学习美国手语的应用。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities. (我认为需要技术来真正弥合这两个群体之间的差距)”可知，Eashwar开发相关应用是为了用技术连接聋人群体和听力正常人群。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据第一段中“His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. (他提交的作品Finger Dance旨在促进聋人群体和听力正常人群之间更好的沟通)”以及第三段中“I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities. (我认为需要技术来真正弥合这两个群体之间的差距)”和最后一段中““What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared. (“真正激励我进入这个领域的是，你可以通过计算机科学和机器学习给世界带来的高影响力的社会创新，”Eashwar分享道)”可推知，Eashwar关注社会需求，想用技术解决实际问题，体现出强烈的社会责任感。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“The STEM star is clearly passionate about the tangible (实际的) and wide-reaching solutions that coding and app development can offer the world. “What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared. (这位STEM明星显然对编码和应用程序开发可以为世界提供的切实可行、影响广泛的解决方案充满热情。“真正激励我进入这个领域的是，你可以通过计算机科学和机器学习给世界带来的高影响力的社会创新，”Eashwar分享道)”可知，文章围绕Eashwar开发应用助力不同群体沟通展开，凸显其用技术解决社会问题的理念，核心是“技术服务社会”。故选A。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解（议论文+新闻报道） 主题01 人与自我——教育学习 （2026·广东广州·一模） Survey data shows that most freshmen regularly use generative AI, often treating it as “an intellectual partner”, Professor John Hampson reported at a faculty (全体教师) meeting in Elite Technology University (ETU).

Passage 2 （2026·广东广州名校联盟·一模） Gen Z has managed something no modern generation pulled off before. After more than a century of steady academic gains, test scores finally went the other direction. For the first time ever, a new generation is officially dumber than the previous one. The data comes from neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath, who has spent years reviewing standardized testing results across age groups. Horvath told the New York Post. The declines cut across attention, memory, literacy, numeracy, executive function, and general IQ. That’s not just one vulnerable spot. That’s the entire dashboard blinking at once. Horvath took the same message to Capitol Hill(国会) during a 2026 Senate hearing on screen time and children. His framing skipped the generational dunking and focused on exposure. “More than half of the time a teenager is awake, half of it is spent staring at a screen,” he told lawmakers. Human learning, he argued, depends on sustained attention and interaction with other people. Endless feeds and condensed content don’t offer either. Schools leaned hard into technology during the same window. Educational software replaced textbooks, long readings, and extended problem-solving. After class, students returned to phones, tablets, and laptops, bouncing between social feeds and bite-sized explanations of material they never sat with for very long. Horvath described the outcome as students trained to skim. Skimming feels efficient, but it doesn’t build depth. “I’m not anti-tech. I’m pro-rigor,” Horvath told the Post. Rigor, in his view, comes from friction. Reading full texts. Working through confusion. Spending time with material that doesn’t immediately reward you. Take that friction away, and cognitive skills dull. Brains adapt to the environment they’re given, and this one prizes speed over staying power. The same decline appears outside the United States. Horvath told senators that across roughly 80 countries, academic performance drops after digital technology becomes widely embedded in classrooms. The timing alone raises serious questions about how learning environments affect cognitive development. Horvath summed it up bluntly during his testimony. “A sad fact our generation has to face is this: Our kids are less cognitively capable than we were at their age.” His recommendation focused on restraint, dialing back screens in schools, and restoring depth before the next generation is doomed. 1．What did Horvath’s research find? A．Gen Z get obvious weak point in results. B．Gen Z has problematic IQ trends overall. C．Gen Z ‘s major dashboard is missing out. D．Gen Z’s overall cognitive ability drops a lot. 2．What is the correct course of cognitive drop? A．Frequent screen surfing → Reduce group interaction → Lose interest in formal study B．Constant digital exposure → Get used to short feeds → Fail to solve difficult problems C．Heavy device dependence → Give up long readings → Drop efficiency of knowledge learning D．Too much screen time → Lose focus and communication → Lack conditions for deep learning 3．What does “rigor” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A．Far-sighted B．Strict C．Patient D．Deep-learning 4．Which is the best title for the text? A．Is our kids’cognitive drop one worrying truth for parents? B．Shocked for teenagers!You are dumber than your parents! C．Screen time: the real hidden cause of weak learning ability. D．“Our kids are truly less cognitively capable than we were” 主题03 人与自然——生态环境 （2026·广东江门·一模） For too long, we have held a narrow and biased view of nature, seeing it as something separate from our urban lives — something to be visited in natural parks or distant wilderness. We pass by the moss in a crack or the algae in a gutter (水沟) with indifference, even disgust. However, cities are not empty of life but are unique, lively ecosystems, and recognizing this should allow us to redefine what it means to be a naturalist in the modern world. Within ordinary urban landscapes, life displays extraordinary toughness and creativity. Plants and microorganisms not only survive but grow well in the heat and pollution of city gutters. Urban animals have also developed smart behaviors: Japanese crows use cars to crack nuts, and Australian cockatoos open trash bins for food. Furthermore, cities drive physical changes in their residents. Some lizards have developed stickier feet to better hold on smooth man-made surfaces. This concrete “jungle” is thus not a biological desert but a dynamic, human-made ecosystem, representing a fascinating new chapter in the story of life on our planet. Therefore, the old image of a naturalist — a professional in remote wilds — is outdated. Academic papers and online courses make biology and ecology procurable to everyone. Community labs and nature clubs enable ordinary people to do research with microscopes and other simple tools. When we accept the city as a real ecosystem, we allow everyone to become a “community scientist”. For those feeling disconnected from nature in cities, there’s a new way: just stay curious and notice the ignored ecological corners, and city life may be filled with new surprises and joys. You don’t need to be a professional scientist — anyone can be a naturalist-explorer in the urban wilderness. 1．What phenomenon does the author point out in Paragraph 1? A．Naturalists need professional training. B．City residents overlook nearby nature. C．People favor wilderness over urban life. D．Ecologists redefine biased nature concepts. 2．How does the author show cities are lively ecosystems? A．By criticizing current opinions. B．By suggesting new research findings. C．By giving examples of organism adaptation. D．By comparing biodiversity from different habitats. 3．What does the underlined word “procurable” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Suitable. B．Comfortable. C．Reasonable. D．Accessible. 4．What idea does the author aim to challenge in the passage? A．Naturalists are limited to professionals. B．Evolution mainly exists in wild nature. C．Urbanization damages the environment. D．City holds a distinct and dynamic ecology. 主题04 人与社会——人物介绍 （2026·广东肇庆·一模） Seventeen-year-old Dhanush Eashwar, who has started coding at 7, is one of the 2024 winners of Swift Student Challenge, which tasks young creators with developing apps that solve real-world problems. His submission, Finger Dance, aims to facilitate better communication between the deaf and hearing communities. Using machine learning and augmented reality, it recognizes users’ hand poses and classifies them as American Sign Language (ASL) letters, helping beginners learn ASL. The winning program was developed specifically for the challenge and isn’t in app stores. But the high school senior is working hard on an even more ambitious project that he says will be available to download in the future: an app that translates ASL hand signs to English in real-time — “like a Google Translate for visual languages,” he explained. “I felt that there was a need for technology to actually bridge the gap between both of the communities,” explained Eashwar, who isn’t deaf himself but took ASL in high school. After attending some deaf events around the region, he realized he had an opportunity. “Machine learning is being used in so many different fields, but something that everyone has is their phone, and that’s in their pocket.” As one of the 50 “distinguished winners” in the challenge, Eashwar attended Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WDC) in June and met the tech company’s CEO, Tim Cook. “That whole experience was really surreal. It was truly a mind-blowing experience, and it was so insightful,” said Eashwar. “And after that experience, I feel more motivated than ever to actually contribute to the technology community and actually do more.” The STEM star is clearly passionate about the tangible (实际的) and wide-reaching solutions that coding and app development can offer the world. “What really inspired me to get into the field is the high-impact social innovation that you can bring to the world with computer science and machine learning,” Eashwar shared. 1．What is Finger Dance? A．A machine learning device. B．A real-time translation tool. C．An app assisting to learn ASL. D．A program aimed for the deaf. 2．Why did Eashwar decide to develop apps for the deaf and hearing communities? A．To win a series of technological contests. B．To meet Tim Cook at the WDC in person. C．To create scientific innovation projects by coding. D．To connect the two communities using technology. 3．What can be inferred about Eashwar from the text? A．He prefers developing apps for deaf people. B．He is talented for American Sign Language. C．He has a strong sense of social responsibility. D．He is eager to become famous like Tim Cook. 4．What message is the text meant to convey? A．Technology serves society. B．Coding is everything. C．Knowledge changes destiny. D．Practice makes perfect. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解（议论文+新闻报道） 主题01 人与自我——教育学习 （2026·广东广州·一模） 1．B 2．D 3．C 4．C 主题02 人与自我——工作学习 Passage 1 1．D 2．A 3．D 4．B Passage 2 （2026·广东广州名校联盟·一模） 1．D 2．D 3．D 4．B 主题03 人与自然——生态环境 （2026·广东江门·一模） 1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 主题04 人与社会——人物介绍 （2026·广东肇庆·一模） 1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
