01食品安全--巨额罚单整治“幽灵外卖” 【原创】
Ghost Food Vendors: A Wake-Up Call for Online Catering
On April 17, 2026, national market supervision(监管) authorities launched a nationwide regulatory campaign and issued a record-breaking penalty of 3.597 billion yuan to seven major online service platforms. The punishment targeted widespread irregular(不合规的) online catering businesses known as “ghost food vendors” across all food categories. This marks the largest food safety penalty against internet platform since China's Food Safety Law was revised in 2015.
The case came to light from a consumer complaint in summer 2025. A customer ordered a birthday cake via online platforms, only to find inedible(不可食用) decorations and serious safety violations. The complaint triggered nationwide attention and a thorough investigation, uncovering a large illegal network in online food sales.
Official checks confirmed ghost vendors operate only online, with no physical stores or legal permits. They use fake documents to register and forward orders to unregulated workshops. Fierce price competition forces these workshops to cut costs blindly, ignoring safety rules and endangering public health.
After 10 months of nationwide inspections, 67,604 unqualified online sellers and more than 3.6 million orders of substandard(劣质的) cakes were uncovered. Comprehensive reforms have been implemented to strengthen oversight(监督)of the entire online industry.
Beyond health risks, the case exposes the dangers of reckless price-cutting. Blind competition creates a vicious(恶性的) cycle where quality is sacrificed for market share.
This campaign is guiding the industry to shift from cutthroat pricing to quality-focused operations. It sends a clear message: food safety is the non-negotiable(不容让步的) bottom line of all business activities. Only standardized operation, rational competition and long-term supervision can ensure sustainable, healthy growth of online catering.
1. In 2026, the huge penalty imposed on major online platforms mainly aims to___________.
A. ban all unqualified offline catering workshops
B. regulate the chaotic online catering business
C. punish consumers' improper ordering behavior
D. revise the national Food Safety Law urgently
2. It can be inferred from the passage that ______________.
A. the problematic cake orders were nationwide rather than regional
B. ghost vendors lacked online operating technology and experience
C. public attention directly led to the revision of Food Safety Law
D. high competition price naturally guaranteed food safety quality
3. The underlined phrase "cutthroat pricing" in the last paragraph most probably means____________.
A. reasonable and rational pricing
B. pricing with strict quality standards
C. fierce and unhealthy price competition
D. pricing fully supported by official rules
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A consumer's complaint changed the national food safety law
B. People's growing concern about daily food safety problems
C. The development history of online catering industry in recent years
D. Online ghost food vendors' harms and official regulatory actions
5. What is the author's attitude towards the regulatory campaign?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Dismissive.

巨额罚单整治“幽灵外卖”
2026年4月17日,全国市场监管部门开展全国性整治行动,对七家主流线上服务平台处以创纪录的35.97亿元罚款。本次整治聚焦各类线上餐饮业务中普遍存在的违规经营幽灵外卖商家问题,这也是2015年中国《食品安全法》修订后,互联网平台收到的金额最高的食品安全处罚
该事件起因于2025年夏季的一则消费者投诉。一名消费者通过线上平台订购生日蛋糕,发现蛋糕装饰无法食用,存在严重安全问题。这起投诉引发全国关注与深入调查,线上食品销售背后庞大的非法经营链条随之曝光。
官方核查证实,幽灵外卖商家仅线上运营,无实体门店、无合法经营资质。这类商家凭借虚假资料注册入驻平台,再将客户订单转交不合规小作坊处理。激烈的低价竞争迫使小作坊盲目压缩成本,无视安全经营准则损害公众健康
历经十个月全国专项排查,相关部门查出67604家不合规线上商户,查实超360万份劣质蛋糕订单。目前行业已推行全面整改举措,强化线上餐饮全行业监管力度
除食品安全隐患外,此次事件也揭露了盲目低价竞价的行业弊端。无序的市场竞争形成恶性循环,商家为抢占市场份额,不惜牺牲产品品质。
本次整治正推动行业摆脱恶性低价竞争,转向品质优先的运营模式,同时明确传递核心信号:食品安全是所有商业经营活动不容妥协的底线。唯有规范运营、理性竞争与长期监管,才能推动线上餐饮行业稳健良性发展。

Passage 1 人工智能与精准农业
(25-26高三上·天津武清·开学考试)AI in Agriculture
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into agriculture is transforming traditional farming practices, offering innovative solutions to challenges like climate change, labor shortages, and food security. Here are key applications of AI in modern agriculture:
Precision Farming
AI-powered sensors and drones collect real-time data on soil moisture, nutrient levels, and crop health. Machine learning algorithms (算法) analyze the data to optimize water irrigation, fertilizer use, and pest control. For example, a farmer in California reduced water usage by 30% using AI-guided irrigation systems.
Crop Disease Detection
AI image recognition tools can identify plant diseases early by analyzing photos of leaves or fruits. A study by the University of Tokyo showed that AI systems achieved 98% accuracy in detecting tomato blight, far surpassing human capabilities.
Autonomous Farming Equipment
Self-driving tractors and harvesters equipped with AI navigate fields, plant seeds, and harvest crops with minimal human intervention. These machines use GPS and computer vision to avoid obstacles and ensure precise operations.
Yield Prediction
By processing historical data, weather patterns, and satellite imagery, AI models predict crop yields months in advance. This helps governments and organizations plan food distribution and prevent shortages. In India, AI-based predictions helped farmers increase wheat production by 15% in 2024.
Livestock Monitoring
Wearable AI devices track animal health, detecting illnesses or stress through changes in movement, temperature, or vocalizations. Dairy farms in the Netherlands reported a 20% drop in cattle mortality after adopting AI monitoring systems.
Despite its benefits, we must be alert to the challenges AI’s widespread adoption faces, such as high initial costs and the need for digital infrastructure in rural areas. However, as technology becomes more accessible, AI is poised (准备做) to play a vital role in sustainable agriculture.

Passage 3 智能键盘与数据安全
(25-26高二上·天津·月考)As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing biometric (生物识别) technologies — like fingerprint scans — to keep others out of private e-space present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device (装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence (节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to — regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
15.Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A.To reduce pressure on keys. B.To improve accuracy in typing.
C.To replace the password system. D.To cut the cost of e-space protection.
16.What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A.Computers are much easier to operate. B.Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C.Typing patterns vary from person to person. D.Data security measures are guaranteed.
17.What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A.It’ll be environment-friendly. B.It’ll reach consumers soon.
C.It’ll be made of plastics. D.It’ll help speed up typing.
18.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A personal diary. B.A travel guidebook
C.A detective novel. D.A science magazine.
Passage 4 AI驱动老年人回忆录
(2026·天津·一模)Zhu Yancheng, a native of Anhui province, has founded Lanvita, an AI-driven memoir (回忆录) platform for the elderly.
The seed of Zhu’s startup was planted by a personal experience. “My father was eager to keep his memories safe. Soon, the process of organizing everything on a computer — which he wasn’t used to — proved a real challenge and began to wear him out.” Zhu recalled. Her father’s difficulty made Zhu wonder how many other seniors shared this wish but were held back by technology.
To test this assumption, she carried out a survey. The results revealed that 27.8 percent of surveyed seniors are willing to purchase memoir products for themselves, while 30.7 percent of adult children intend to buy them for their parents. “What began as a personal goal for my father was, in fact, pointing toward a wider social phenomenon.” she said.
With a background in AI, Zhu developed Lanvita as a WeChat mini-program. To bridge the digital gap, she then cooperated with local communities, nursing homes, and other institutions to host offline trial sessions, allowing seniors to experience the memoir-creation process firsthand and receive completed versions of their stories shortly afterward.
One participant who left a strong impression on Zhu was 89-year-old Gong Guoping. Gong has lived through a life full of ups and downs, including war and major family changes, while also witnessing the development and transformation of Hefei, where he has spent his whole life. “Through Mr. Gong’s eyes, the memoir goes far beyond a personal story, becoming a historical mirror that reflects the century-long transformation of his hometown.” Zhu said.
Zhu believes that meaningful products can only be created by engaging directly with elderly users and truly listening to their stories. “Face-to-face, offline services are far more effective than endless online advertisements,” Zhu noted.
After the trial sessions, many seniors recommended Lanvita to friends, helping the platform grow. Through her interactions with seniors, Zhu found that although older adults may adopt AI more slowly, they are still curious and willing to try new technologies. “In this field, what we truly need is not necessarily smarter AI, but more understanding AI,” she concluded.
1.What directly drove Zhu to create the platform Lanvita?
A.Her professional background in AI. B.A request from local nursing homes.
C.A survey on senior consumption habits. D.Her father’s struggle with digital tools.
2.Which of the following best describes the findings of Zhu’s survey?
A.There is a widespread demand for memoir products.
B.Technology remains a major barrier for most seniors.
C.Adult children use more memoir products than seniors.
D.Seniors prefer WeChat mini-programs to computer software.
3.What does Zhu realize from Mr. Gong’s memoir?
A.The historical record of urban development.
B.The great suffering caused by wars and conflicts.
C.The link between personal stories and history.
D.The difficulty for seniors to recall their youth.
4.What can be inferred about Lanvita’s operation?
A.It includes high-level AI knowledge from its users.
B.It acquires users via offline service and trial sessions.
C.It focuses on seniors with advanced computer skills.
D.It relies on online advertisements to attract elderly users.
5.What message does Zhu want to convey in the last paragraph?
A.AI should be designed with a human touch.
B.Seniors can master new technology with ease.
C.Technology will soon make eldercare simple.
D.Smarter AI will decide the future of eldercare.
Passage 5 感悟农村艰辛
(2023·天津滨海新区·三模)Once, during my summer holidays, my father was sick, but he worked in the rice field just the same, because there was so much to do. As I looked at his thin figure, crawling (缓慢移动) ahead of me, I thought of my own depressing future. I was tied to the land by job after backbreaking job, unlike other boys who had freedom to pursue happiness. Why were there people in the world who would never know what it was like to toil (苦干), and others, like me, who had been toiling ever since they were small boys, season after season, year after year? Why were some people sitting before electric fans or in air-conditioned rooms, while I was out of breath and sweating under the blazing sun? Why was there mud and more mud in front of me?
Only we farmers were willing to crawl, to assume the lowliest of positions in order to have a better harvest. Even a horse, when working for man, stands tall. I was suddenly consumed with great pity and great respect for poor farmers, and the focus of my attention began to extend beyond myself and my family. This was an important turning point in my life.
While resting beside a field one day, my brothers and I resolved to pursue useful knowledge and technology to help ourselves and other farmers improve our circumstances, and lighten our burden of labour. This resolve gave me strength so that when I went to university, lighten our burden of labour. This resolve gave me strength so that when I went to university, and later to the US on a scholarship, my spirit rose above personal hardships. Crawling in the mud had taught me to lake bleeding and sweating as part of my life, and not to be afraid in the face of difficulties. But what was more important was that I had learned the meaning of “You reap what you sow”.
Mother used to say, “Judge a man not by his face, but by his fields.” I appreciate more and more the meaning of these words. The land is dependable, as long as you are willing to toil on it. When the wind blew and the green rice plants moved like waves in a sea, stunningly beautiful, a deep sense of satisfaction swelled up (充满) in me.
I laboured hard in the simple, isolated countryside of my home, and I am proud of this. Although later I went into academic research, I shall always remember what working in the rice fields taught me: plant your feet firmly on the ground, work hard and you will be rewarded.
1.What did the author think of his job as a farmer in Paragraph 1?
A.Unhappy but promising. B.Free and meaningful.
C.Busy but rewarding. D.Exhausting and hopeless.
2.What motivated the author to change his present life?
A.The concern for his father’s sickness.

Passage 6 番茄烟草与精准农业
(2025·天津·模拟预测)Although it has been revealed in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的) cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops.
Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made cries at frequencies humans cannot hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.
Microphones placed 10 centimetres from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, which the team says insects and some mammals would be capable of hearing and responding to from as far as 5 metres away. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed, the researchers suggest. Plants could even hear that other plants are short of water and react accordingly, they speculate (推断).
On average, drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average.
It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to recognize between the plants’ sounds and the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sound’s intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example.
Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.
“The suggestion that the sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture seems feasible (可行的) if it is not too costly to set up the recording in a field situation,” says Anne Visscher at the royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the UK.
She warns that the results can’t yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that idea remains based on guesses for now, she says.
1.The experiment by researchers at Tel Aviv University shows that ______.
A.tomato plants cry more often than tobacco when hurt
B.plant sounds can be heard by plants quite far away
C.humans can hear water-hungry plants crying
D.moths like laying eggs on stressed plant
2.Which one of the followings may make the most sounds according to the research?
A.Water-hungry tobacco. B.Stem-cut tobacco.
C.Drought-stressed tomato. D.Stem-cut tomato.
3.What is Anne Visscher’s attitude towards the finding of the experiment?
A.Disappointed B.Cautious. C.Appreciative. D.Optimistic.
4.Taking advantage of the new research finding, farmers can ______.
A.harvest crops in time B.reduce greenhouse effects
C.diagnose plant condition faster D.detect and remove insects easily
5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Plants get stressed Just Like Us. B.Sounds of Plants Detected Far Away.
C.Cries of plants break Farmers’ Hearts D.Plants scream in the presence of stress
Passage 7 机器人带来农业革命
(24-25高三上·天津河西·月考)Perhaps it is time for farmers to put their feet up now that robots are used to inspect crops, dig up weeds, and even have become shepherds, too. Commercial growing fields are astronomically huge and take thousands of man-hours to operate. One prime example is one of Australia’s most isolated cattle stations, Suplejack Downs in the Northern Territory, extending across 4,000 square kilometers, taking over 13 hours to reach by car from the nearest major town — Alice Springs.
The extreme isolation of these massive farms leaves them often unattended, and monitored only once or twice a year. which means if the livestock falls ill or requires assistance, it can be a long time for farmers to discover.
However, robots are coming to the rescue. Robots are currently under a two-year trial in Wales which will train“farmbots” to herd, monitor the health of livestock, and make sure there is enough pasture for them to graze on. The robots are equipped with many sensors to identify conditions of the environment, cattle and food, using thermal and vision sensors that detect changes in body temperature.
“You’ ve also got color, texture and shape sensors looking down at the ground to check pasture quality,” says Salah Sukkarieh of the University of Sydney, who will carry out trials on several farms in central New South Wales.
During the trials, the robot algorithms (算法) and mechanics will be fine-tuned to make it better suited to ailing livestock and ensure it safely navigates around potential hazards including trees, mud, swamps, and hills.
“We want to improve the quality of animal health and make it easier for farmers to maintain large landscapes where animals roam free,” says Sukkarieh.
The robots are not limited to herding and monitoring livestock. They have been created to count individual fruit, inspect crops, and even pull weeds.
Many robots are equipped with high-tech sensors and complex learning algorithms to avoid injuring humans as they work side by side. The robots also learn the most efficient and safest passages, and allow engineers and farmers to analyze and better optimize the attributes and tasks of the robot, as well as provide a live stream giving real-time feedback on exactly what is happening on the farms.
Of course, some worry lies in replacing agricultural workers. However, it is farmers that are pushing for the advancements due to ever-increasing labor vacancies, making it difficult to maintain large-scale operations.
The robots have provided major benefits to farmers in various ways, from hunting and pulling weeds to monitoring the condition of every single fruit. Future farms will likely experience a greater deal of autonomy as robots take up more and more farm work efficiently.
1.What may farmers be able to do with robots appearing on the farming scene?
A.Upgrade farm produce.
B.Enjoy more leisure hours.
C.Modify the genes of crops.
D.Cut down farming costs.
2.What will “farmbots” be expected to do?
A.Take up many of the farmers’ routines.
B.Provide medical treatments for livestock.
C.Lead the trend in farming the world over.
D.Improve the quality of pastures for grazing.
3.What can robots do when equipped with high-tech sensors and complex learning algorithms?
A.Help farmers choose the most efficient and safest passages.
B.Help farmers simplify their farming tasks and management.
C.Allow farmers to learn instantly what is occurring on the farm.
D.Allow farmers to give them real-time instructions on what to do.
4.Why are farmers pressing for robotic farming?
A.Farming costs are fast increasing.
B.Robotics technology is maturing.
C.Robotic farming is the trend.
D.Labor shortage is worsening.
5.What does the author think future farms will be like?
A.More and more automated.
B.More and more productive.
C.Larger and larger in scale.
D.Better and better in condition.
Passage 8 氮肥与水稻高产
(25-26高二上·天津·期末)The worldwide 20th century “Green Revolution”, which saw huge year-by-year increases in global grain yields (产量),was fueled by the development in the 1960s of new high-yielding dwarfed (矮小) varieties known as Green Revolution Varieties (GRVs).
These dwarfed GRVs are common all over the world in today’s wheat and rice crops. Because they are dwarfed, with short stems, GRVs devote relatively more resources than tall plants to the growth of grains rather than stems, and are less likely to suffer yield losses from wind and rain damage. However, the growth of GRVs requires farmers to use large amounts of nitrogen fertilizers (氮肥) in their fields. These fertilizers are costly to farmers and cause extensive damage to the natural environment. The development of new GRVs combining high yields with reduced fertilizer requirements is thus a global agricultural goal.
Researchers at the University of Oxford and the Chinese Academy of Science have discovered for the first time a gene that can help reach the goal. Comparing 36 different dwarfed rice varieties, the researchers identified a novel natural gene that helps increase the rate at which plants make use of nitrogen from the soil. This gene, called GRF4, can increase the amount of a protein (蛋白质) in plant cells. GRF4 is actually a promoter that encourages the activity of other genes—genes that promote nitrogen uptake (摄入). Professor Harberd said, “Increasing GRF4 levels could contribute to an increase in the grain yields of GRVs, especially at low fertilizer input levels.”
The researchers say the latest rice variety containing GRVs should now become a major target for farmers in increasing crop yields and fertilizer use efficiency, with the aim of achieving the global grain yield increases necessary to feed a growing world population at a reduced environmental cost. It is very urgent at the moment.
Professor Harberd added, “This study is an example of how studying fundamental science objectives can lead rapidly to potential solutions to global challenges. It shows how the discovery can enable chances for food security and future new green revolutions.”
1.What can we know about dwarfed GRVs?
A.They have higher yield and taller stems.
B.They are a “double-edged sword”.
C.They are environmentally friendly.
D.They can be easily affected by weather.
2.What does “the goal” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Increasing the rate of nitrogen use.
B.Producing cheaper nitrogen fertilizers.
C.Using fewer fertilizers to produce more grains.
D.Finding a gene to solve agricultural problems.
3.What can GRF4 directly do?
A.It promotes other genes' activity.
B.It increases the output of crops.
C.It takes in nitrogen from the soil.
D.It lowers fertilizer input levels.
4.What’s the urgent thing recently according to the researchers?
A.Decreasing the amount of fertilizers required by GRVs.
B.Encouraging farmers to adopt the new rice variety.
C.Calling on farmers to use effective fertilizers.
D.Focusing on the improvement of GRF4.
5.What’s the main idea of the text?
A.GRVs—a potential measure to achieve global food security.
B.The influence of agricultural development on the environment.
C.The importance of raising public awareness of global issues.
D.GRF4—foundation for new green revolutions.
Passage 9 青少年创业楷模
(25-26高三上·天津·月考)Alice Moore is a teenage entrepreneur (创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business Ailie Candy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product-CanCandy.
As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of Ailie Candy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.

Passage 10 Z世代创业代表
(25-26高三上·天津红桥·月考)Generation Z (or Gen Z, Americans born during the late 1990s and early 2000s) are making a significant impact on the world. 62% of them say they want to start their own business or that they already have. We shouldn’t be surprised by the start-up desires of the generation that have grown up digitally connected to the wider world. They have an audience literally at their fingertips if they can come up with a persuasive content and product ecosystem that people want to buy into.
Destiny Snow is one such teen. Snow and her sister grew up watching their mother own and operate her income tax and accounting business, in addition to her real estate company. “It’s much easier to believe that something can be done after seeing it done,” says Snow. “Seeing my mother overcome her difficulties and achieve her goals encouraged me to go into business for myself as well.”
When Snow first launched her online store, she was surprised that her business was quite sluggish. “I anticipated many customers, especially my friends and family rushing to buy what I was selling, but that wasn’t the case. Lack of their support discouraged me at the time,” she admits. Instead of giving up, she took a break to analyze her approach.
“I knew I had the ability to run a successful business, I just needed to figure out what I was doing wrong. I watched countless marketing videos, reviewed success stories, read business articles and ordered piles of business books,” she says. “Soon I realized I needed to identify my target audience and make use of social media marketing. To succeed in running a company, I have to win the hearts and minds of total strangers,” says Snow. Her realization as well as quick and proper adjustment eventually made her a successful teen entrepreneur.
As more and more entrepreneurs enter the marketplace to deliver their unique products and services to the world, the opportunities to succeed will still be out there, although they’ll be harder to seize.
1.What can we learn about Generation Z from paragraph 1?
A.They are open to different views.
B.They are practical and financially aware.
C.They are mindful of environmental issues.
D.They are easily accessible to the outside world.
2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The educational background of Snow and her sister.
B.The inspiration for Snow’s becoming an entrepreneur.
C.The secret to Snow’s mother’s success in her business.
D.The harmonious relationship between Snow’s family members.
3.What does the underlined word “sluggish” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Reliable. B.Slow-moving. C.Changeable. D.Long-lasting.
4.What does her approach to her initial failure reveal about effective problem solving in business?
A.Immediate product changes are more important than market research.
B.Relying on external advice without personal effort leads to dependency.
C.Short-term breaks from business activities do harm to long-term success.
D.Analysis and self-education can transform challenges into opportunities.

Passage 11 厦大学生宁夏支教
(2026高三·全国·专题练习)A recent hit TV series has inspired students from Xiamen University in Fujian Province to join their predecessors in a cooperative project spanning more than 2,000 kilometers. It ranges from the hospitable south coast to the Gobi Desert in China’s arid Northwest.
Minning Town tells the story of residents of the Ningxia Hui autonomous region who migrated from uninhabitable areas and built a township from scratch. The settlement (定居地), whose name is a combination of the short forms of Ningxia and Fujian (“Min” for Fujian and “Ning” for Ningxia), embodies the long-standing mutual assistance program. Since the 1990s, a national strategic plan for cooperation between the eastern and western areas has seen groups of volunteers travel from Fujian to the inland region to provide “pairing assistance”. Since 1999, the program has seen some 250 students from Xiamen University volunteer to teach in Ningxia’s poorest areas for a year.
Traces of Fujian are easily found in Minning. For example, the downtown buildings have red triangulated roofs with swallow-tailed ridges that give a flavor of the architectural style in the south of the coastal province. Peng Jing recalled her first impressions of Minning as a recent graduate. “Sometimes, I felt like I was still in Fujian. It was all so familiar,” she said. She and her peers arrived in the town in July to provide a two-week after-school hobby club for local children during the summer break.
To her surprise, many parents were waiting for them at the school gate on the night they arrived, hoping to enroll their children in the club. “I didn’t realize we would have such a big impact,” she said. “When they hear us speaking Mandarin, storekeepers and taxi drivers immediately know that we’ re from Fujian,” she added, noting that so many people from the province have arrived to offer support that the locals easily recognize the accent.
She says her life as a teacher in the inland region is not too hard, thanks to sealed roads, constant running water and electricity, and supermarkets that carry a full range of goods. As a bonus, the school buildings support multimedia teaching equipment.
1.Why did those students from Xiamen University come to Ningxia in the 1990s?
A.To travel and experience. B.To teach here for a year.
C.To complete a summer program. D.To arouse attention to poor areas.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.The program has lasted for 40 years.
B.Minning is a combination of Fujian and Ningxia.
C.The program has seen 350 students volunteering to teach.
D.The residents in Minning are from Fujian Province.
3.Why did Peng Jing say “I felt like I was still in Fujian”?
A.Because Minning has many traces of her hometown.
B.Because Minning is the same as Fujian Province.
C.Because she missed her hometown.
D.Because she was used to living in Fujian.
4.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5?
A.Teaching life in the inland region is tough.
B.Parents react indifferently to their club.
C.Multimedia teaching equipment is not accessible.
D.Locals extend warm welcome to those students.
5.What is probably the most suitable title?
A.How Was Minning Town Built?
B.The Township Between Fujian and Ningxia
C.City Students Bring Hope to Rural Kids
D.A Summer Project in the Inland Region
Passage 12 种子库安全
(2026·云南玉溪·二模)Some 50 km south of London, deep in the Sussex countryside, lies the world’s largest seed bank: the Millennium Seed Bank (MSB). It celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, with over 2.5 billion seeds collected from 40,000 species — not just in storage, but ready to be put to work restoring habitats and fighting extinction through a global partner network.
When the seed bank first opened in 2000, its objective was straightforward: to collect 10 percent of the world’s wild plant species, a target achieved in 2009. The focus now is on seed quality — concentrating on useful species to address biodiversity loss and climate change. This shift in focus comes as global environmental threats become more severe than ever before.
Each seed sent to the bank goes through a careful process of cleaning and drying before being stored in underground vaults (地窖) at -20℃, with some even preserved in liquid nitrogen at -196℃. These conditions can keep seeds alive for decades, even hundreds of years.
The MSB partners with over 100 countries, with China as a key partner. Since 2005, it has worked closely with the Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, home to Asia’s largest seed bank. “We helped China design the facilities during its building phase and have built a really productive relationship since then,” said Breman, a senior research leader from the MSB.“I was there last year to discuss the next stage of our partnership. China has world-class facilities and is doing remarkable work, and its progress is critical for the worldwide efforts.”
Despite these strong global partnerships, the challenge remains: scientists estimate that 45 percent of flowering plant species are now at risk of extinction. Climate change, pollution, and overfarming are speeding up biodiversity loss. The MSB and its partners continue to work tirelessly to protect these vulnerable plant species.
1.What is the initial goal of the Millennium Seed Bank?
A.To keep seeds alive for many years.
B.To include 10% of the world’s wild plant species.
C.To focus on seeds with higher quality and potential.
D.To collect seeds from 40,000 wild plant species by 2009.
2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Where the MSB stores its seeds.
B.How seeds are processed and conserved.
C.How seeds are used in habitat restoration.
D.Why numerous plant species are facing extinction.
3.What can be inferred about China from Breman’s words?
A.It designed the facilities for the MSB.
B.It needs more efforts to be professional.
C.It has the most advanced seed-bank equipment.
D.It plays a vital role in international plant protection.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To compare different seed banks in the world.
B.To call for urgent action to address biodiversity loss.

01食品安全--巨额罚单整治“幽灵外卖” 【原创】
Ghost Food Vendors: A Wake-Up Call for Online Catering
On April 17, 2026, national market supervision(监管) authorities launched a nationwide regulatory campaign and issued a record-breaking penalty of 3.597 billion yuan to seven major online service platforms. The punishment targeted widespread irregular(不合规的) online catering businesses known as “ghost food vendors” across all food categories. This marks the largest food safety penalty against internet platform since China's Food Safety Law was revised in 2015.
The case came to light from a consumer complaint in summer 2025. A customer ordered a birthday cake via online platforms, only to find inedible(不可食用) decorations and serious safety violations. The complaint triggered nationwide attention and a thorough investigation, uncovering a large illegal network in online food sales.
Official checks confirmed ghost vendors operate only online, with no physical stores or legal permits. They use fake documents to register and forward orders to unregulated workshops. Fierce price competition forces these workshops to cut costs blindly, ignoring safety rules and endangering public health.
After 10 months of nationwide inspections, 67,604 unqualified online sellers and more than 3.6 million orders of substandard(劣质的) cakes were uncovered. Comprehensive reforms have been implemented to strengthen oversight(监督)of the entire online industry.
Beyond health risks, the case exposes the dangers of reckless price-cutting. Blind competition creates a vicious(恶性的) cycle where quality is sacrificed for market share.
This campaign is guiding the industry to shift from cutthroat pricing to quality-focused operations. It sends a clear message: food safety is the non-negotiable(不容让步的) bottom line of all business activities. Only standardized operation, rational competition and long-term supervision can ensure sustainable, healthy growth of online catering.
1. In 2026, the huge penalty imposed on major online platforms mainly aims to___________.
A. ban all unqualified offline catering workshops
B. regulate the chaotic online catering business
C. punish consumers' improper ordering behavior
D. revise the national Food Safety Law urgently
2. It can be inferred from the passage that ______________.
A. the problematic cake orders were nationwide rather than regional
B. ghost vendors lacked online operating technology and experience
C. public attention directly led to the revision of Food Safety Law
D. high competition price naturally guaranteed food safety quality
3. The underlined phrase "cutthroat pricing" in the last paragraph most probably means____________.
A. reasonable and rational pricing
B. pricing with strict quality standards
C. fierce and unhealthy price competition
D. pricing fully supported by official rules
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A consumer's complaint changed the national food safety law
B. People's growing concern about daily food safety problems
C. The development history of online catering industry in recent years
D. Online ghost food vendors' harms and official regulatory actions
5. What is the author's attitude towards the regulatory campaign?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Dismissive.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.C
【导读】本文围绕网络 “幽灵外卖店” 乱象与国家专项整治行动展开,核心强调食品安全是不可触碰的行业底线。
【解析】
1.细节理解题。根据原文第一段 “launched a nationwide regulatory campaign and issued a record‑breaking penalty… targeted widespread irregular online catering businesses known as ‘ghost food vendors’” 可知,2026 年国家对主流线上平台开出巨额罚单,其根本目的是规范混乱无序的网络餐饮经营秩序,整治无资质、无实体店的违规商家。A 项 “取缔所有不合格线下作坊” 并非本次处罚的直接目标;C 项 “惩罚消费者订餐行为” 在文中无任何依据;D 项 “紧急修订食品安全法” 错误,该法已于 2015 年完成修订。故选B。
2.推理判断题。本文通过全国排查数据揭示幽灵商家已形成跨区域非法产业链,食品安全风险呈现全国性蔓延态势。根据原文第四段 “After 10 months of nationwide inspections, 67,604 unqualified online sellers and more than 3.6 million orders of substandard cakes were uncovered” 可明确推断,问题蛋糕订单是全国性普遍现象,而非局部区域性问题。B 项错误,幽灵商家具备线上接单能力,仅缺少合法资质与实体店铺;C 项错误,公众关注推动调查开展,但并未直接引发法律修订;D 项与原文表意完全相反,“fierce price competition forces workshops to cut costs blindly, ignoring safety rules” 说明恶性低价竞争严重破坏食品安全。故选A。
3.词句猜测题。文章深刻揭露了线上餐饮行业 “以价换量、牺牲品质” 的恶性竞争怪圈,指出盲目降价会形成危害公众健康的恶性循环。结合上文 “reckless price‑cutting”“blind competition creates a vicious cycle where quality is sacrificed for market share” 的语境逻辑,“cutthroat pricing” 意为激烈且无序、损害品质的恶性价格竞争。A 项 “合理理性定价”、B 项 “以质量为标准的定价”、D 项 “官方认可的合规定价” 均与原文批判恶性竞争的立场相反。故选C。
4.主旨大意题。本文是典型的社会问题类说明文,以消费者投诉为切入点,先揭露 “幽灵商家” 无资质经营、转包黑作坊、危害公众健康等多重危害,再介绍国家历时 10 个月的全国查处行动与行业整改方向,旨在警示平台落实主体责任、推动行业从低价竞争转向品质优先。综上,文章主旨是线上幽灵食品商家的现实危害及国家监管整治行动。A 项错误,投诉并未改变法律;B 项过于片面,仅强调关注而未覆盖核心监管举措;C 项错误,文中未涉及行业发展历程。故选D。
5.观点态度题。作者立足于食品安全与行业规范的立场,以事实、数据与官方措施为依据,客观呈现乱象成因、危害后果与治理路径,全文不带有主观批判、质疑或冷漠倾向,体现出对社会公共事件理性、中立、严谨的评述态度,因此作者对本次监管专项行动持objective(客观的)立场。故选C。
【全文翻译】
巨额罚单整治“幽灵外卖”
2026年4月17日,全国市场监管部门开展全国性整治行动,对七家主流线上服务平台处以创纪录的35.97亿元罚款。本次整治聚焦各类线上餐饮业务中普遍存在的违规经营幽灵外卖商家问题,这也是2015年中国《食品安全法》修订后,互联网平台收到的金额最高的食品安全处罚
该事件起因于2025年夏季的一则消费者投诉。一名消费者通过线上平台订购生日蛋糕,发现蛋糕装饰无法食用,存在严重安全问题。这起投诉引发全国关注与深入调查,线上食品销售背后庞大的非法经营链条随之曝光。
官方核查证实,幽灵外卖商家仅线上运营,无实体门店、无合法经营资质。这类商家凭借虚假资料注册入驻平台,再将客户订单转交不合规小作坊处理。激烈的低价竞争迫使小作坊盲目压缩成本,无视安全经营准则损害公众健康
历经十个月全国专项排查,相关部门查出67604家不合规线上商户,查实超360万份劣质蛋糕订单。目前行业已推行全面整改举措,强化线上餐饮全行业监管力度
除食品安全隐患外,此次事件也揭露了盲目低价竞价的行业弊端。无序的市场竞争形成恶性循环,商家为抢占市场份额,不惜牺牲产品品质。
本次整治正推动行业摆脱恶性低价竞争,转向品质优先的运营模式,同时明确传递核心信号:食品安全是所有商业经营活动不容妥协的底线。唯有规范运营、理性竞争与长期监管,才能推动线上餐饮行业稳健良性发展。

Passage 3 智能键盘与数据安全
(25-26高二上·天津·月考)As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing biometric (生物识别) technologies — like fingerprint scans — to keep others out of private e-space present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device (装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence (节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to — regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
1.Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A.To reduce pressure on keys. B.To improve accuracy in typing.
C.To replace the password system. D.To cut the cost of e-space protection.
2.What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A.Computers are much easier to operate. B.Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C.Typing patterns vary from person to person. D.Data security measures are guaranteed.
3.What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A.It’ll be environment-friendly. B.It’ll reach consumers soon.
C.It’ll be made of plastics. D.It’ll help speed up typing.
4.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A personal diary. B.A travel guidebook
C.A detective novel. D.A science magazine.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.B 4.D

Passage 4 AI驱动老年人回忆录
(2026·天津·一模)Zhu Yancheng, a native of Anhui province, has founded Lanvita, an AI-driven memoir (回忆录) platform for the elderly.
The seed of Zhu’s startup was planted by a personal experience. “My father was eager to keep his memories safe. Soon, the process of organizing everything on a computer — which he wasn’t used to — proved a real challenge and began to wear him out.” Zhu recalled. Her father’s difficulty made Zhu wonder how many other seniors shared this wish but were held back by technology.
To test this assumption, she carried out a survey. The results revealed that 27.8 percent of surveyed seniors are willing to purchase memoir products for themselves, while 30.7 percent of adult children intend to buy them for their parents. “What began as a personal goal for my father was, in fact, pointing toward a wider social phenomenon.” she said.
With a background in AI, Zhu developed Lanvita as a WeChat mini-program. To bridge the digital gap, she then cooperated with local communities, nursing homes, and other institutions to host offline trial sessions, allowing seniors to experience the memoir-creation process firsthand and receive completed versions of their stories shortly afterward.
One participant who left a strong impression on Zhu was 89-year-old Gong Guoping. Gong has lived through a life full of ups and downs, including war and major family changes, while also witnessing the development and transformation of Hefei, where he has spent his whole life. “Through Mr. Gong’s eyes, the memoir goes far beyond a personal story, becoming a historical mirror that reflects the century-long transformation of his hometown.” Zhu said.
Zhu believes that meaningful products can only be created by engaging directly with elderly users and truly listening to their stories. “Face-to-face, offline services are far more effective than endless online advertisements,” Zhu noted.
After the trial sessions, many seniors recommended Lanvita to friends, helping the platform grow. Through her interactions with seniors, Zhu found that although older adults may adopt AI more slowly, they are still curious and willing to try new technologies. “In this field, what we truly need is not necessarily smarter AI, but more understanding AI,” she concluded.
1.What directly drove Zhu to create the platform Lanvita?
A.Her professional background in AI. B.A request from local nursing homes.
C.A survey on senior consumption habits. D.Her father’s struggle with digital tools.
2.Which of the following best describes the findings of Zhu’s survey?
A.There is a widespread demand for memoir products.
B.Technology remains a major barrier for most seniors.
C.Adult children use more memoir products than seniors.
D.Seniors prefer WeChat mini-programs to computer software.
3.What does Zhu realize from Mr. Gong’s memoir?
A.The historical record of urban development.
B.The great suffering caused by wars and conflicts.
C.The link between personal stories and history.
D.The difficulty for seniors to recall their youth.
4.What can be inferred about Lanvita’s operation?
A.It includes high-level AI knowledge from its users.
B.It acquires users via offline service and trial sessions.
C.It focuses on seniors with advanced computer skills.
D.It relies on online advertisements to attract elderly users.
5.What message does Zhu want to convey in the last paragraph?
A.AI should be designed with a human touch.
B.Seniors can master new technology with ease.
C.Technology will soon make eldercare simple.
D.Smarter AI will decide the future of eldercare.

Passage 5 感悟农村艰辛
(2023·天津滨海新区·三模)Once, during my summer holidays, my father was sick, but he worked in the rice field just the same, because there was so much to do. As I looked at his thin figure, crawling (缓慢移动) ahead of me, I thought of my own depressing future. I was tied to the land by job after backbreaking job, unlike other boys who had freedom to pursue happiness. Why were there people in the world who would never know what it was like to toil (苦干), and others, like me, who had been toiling ever since they were small boys, season after season, year after year? Why were some people sitting before electric fans or in air-conditioned rooms, while I was out of breath and sweating under the blazing sun? Why was there mud and more mud in front of me?
Only we farmers were willing to crawl, to assume the lowliest of positions in order to have a better harvest. Even a horse, when working for man, stands tall. I was suddenly consumed with great pity and great respect for poor farmers, and the focus of my attention began to extend beyond myself and my family. This was an important turning point in my life.
While resting beside a field one day, my brothers and I resolved to pursue useful knowledge and technology to help ourselves and other farmers improve our circumstances, and lighten our burden of labour. This resolve gave me strength so that when I went to university, lighten our burden of labour. This resolve gave me strength so that when I went to university, and later to the US on a scholarship, my spirit rose above personal hardships. Crawling in the mud had taught me to lake bleeding and sweating as part of my life, and not to be afraid in the face of difficulties. But what was more important was that I had learned the meaning of “You reap what you sow”.
Mother used to say, “Judge a man not by his face, but by his fields.” I appreciate more and more the meaning of these words. The land is dependable, as long as you are willing to toil on it. When the wind blew and the green rice plants moved like waves in a sea, stunningly beautiful, a deep sense of satisfaction swelled up (充满) in me.
I laboured hard in the simple, isolated countryside of my home, and I am proud of this. Although later I went into academic research, I shall always remember what working in the rice fields taught me: plant your feet firmly on the ground, work hard and you will be rewarded.

Passage 6 番茄烟草与精准农业
(2025·天津·模拟预测)Although it has been revealed in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的) cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops.
Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made cries at frequencies humans cannot hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.
Microphones placed 10 centimetres from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, which the team says insects and some mammals would be capable of hearing and responding to from as far as 5 metres away. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed, the researchers suggest. Plants could even hear that other plants are short of water and react accordingly, they speculate (推断).
On average, drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average.
It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to recognize between the plants’ sounds and the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sound’s intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example.
Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.
“The suggestion that the sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture seems feasible (可行的) if it is not too costly to set up the recording in a field situation,” says Anne Visscher at the royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the UK.
She warns that the results can’t yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that idea remains based on guesses for now, she says.
1.The experiment by researchers at Tel Aviv University shows that ______.
A.tomato plants cry more often than tobacco when hurt
B.plant sounds can be heard by plants quite far away
C.humans can hear water-hungry plants crying
D.moths like laying eggs on stressed plant
2.Which one of the followings may make the most sounds according to the research?
A.Water-hungry tobacco. B.Stem-cut tobacco.
C.Drought-stressed tomato. D.Stem-cut tomato.
3.What is Anne Visscher’s attitude towards the finding of the experiment?
A.Disappointed B.Cautious. C.Appreciative. D.Optimistic.
4.Taking advantage of the new research finding, farmers can ______.
A.harvest crops in time B.reduce greenhouse effects
C.diagnose plant condition faster D.detect and remove insects easily
5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Plants get stressed Just Like Us. B.Sounds of Plants Detected Far Away.
C.Cries of plants break Farmers’ Hearts D.Plants scream in the presence of stress
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.B 4.C 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。 文章主要讲述了以色列特拉维夫大学的研究人员发现番茄和烟草植物在缺水或茎被切断等受到压力时会发出人类听不到的超声哭声,并且介绍了相关实验以及这种发现对精准农业的潜在意义等。
1.推理判断题。根据第四段“When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. (当植物茎被切断时,番茄植株在接下来的一个小时内平均发出25个声音,烟草植株发出15个声音。)”可推断研究表明番茄植株受到伤害时比烟草更容易哭泣。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段“On average, drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average. (受干旱胁迫的番茄植株平均每小时发出35个声音,而烟草植株每小时发出11个声音。当植物茎被切断时,番茄植株在接下来的一个小时内平均发出25个声音,烟草植株发出15个声音。未受压力的植物平均每小时发出的声音少于一个。)”可知抗旱番茄发出最多的声音。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“She warns that the results can’t yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that idea remains based on guesses for now, she says. (她警告说,这些结果还不能扩展到其他压力,比如盐或温度,因为这些可能不会导致声音。此外,她说,目前还没有实验证明飞蛾或任何其他动物是否能听到植物发出的声音并做出反应,所以这个想法目前仍然是基于猜测。)”可知她警告说这个想法目前仍然是基于猜测,故推断她对实验结果持谨慎态度。故选B。
4.推理判断题。根据第五段“It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to recognize between the plants’ sounds and the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sound’s intensity and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example. (甚至可以通过区分声音来知道重音是什么。研究人员训练了一个机器学习模型来识别植物的声音和温室里的风、雨和其他噪音,在大多数情况下,根据声音的强度和频率,正确识别出压力是由干燥还是割伤引起的。例如,耗水的烟草似乎比切好的烟草发出更大的声音。)”和第六段“Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest. (研究人员认为,让农民能够倾听缺水植物的声音可能“在精准农业领域开辟了一个新的方向”。)”可推知利用这项新的研究发现,农民可以更快诊断植物状况。故选C。
5.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其第一段“Although it has been revealed in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的) cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops. (尽管近年来人们发现植物有视觉、听觉和嗅觉,但它们仍然通常被认为是沉默的。但是现在,人们第一次记录到它们在受到压力时发出超声波叫声,研究人员表示,这可能会开辟一个精准农业的新领域,让农民倾听缺水的作物。)”可知文章主要讲述了以色列特拉维夫大学的研究人员发现番茄和烟草植物在缺水或茎被切断等受到压力时会发出人类听不到的超声哭声,并且介绍了相关实验以及这种发现对精准农业的潜在意义等,所以D选项“植物在压力面前会尖叫”符合文章大意。故选D。
Passage 7 机器人带来农业革命
(24-25高三上·天津河西·月考)Perhaps it is time for farmers to put their feet up now that robots are used to inspect crops, dig up weeds, and even have become shepherds, too. Commercial growing fields are astronomically huge and take thousands of man-hours to operate. One prime example is one of Australia’s most isolated cattle stations, Suplejack Downs in the Northern Territory, extending across 4,000 square kilometers, taking over 13 hours to reach by car from the nearest major town — Alice Springs.
The extreme isolation of these massive farms leaves them often unattended, and monitored only once or twice a year. which means if the livestock falls ill or requires assistance, it can be a long time for farmers to discover.
However, robots are coming to the rescue. Robots are currently under a two-year trial in Wales which will train“farmbots” to herd, monitor the health of livestock, and make sure there is enough pasture for them to graze on. The robots are equipped with many sensors to identify conditions of the environment, cattle and food, using thermal and vision sensors that detect changes in body temperature.
“You’ ve also got color, texture and shape sensors looking down at the ground to check pasture quality,” says Salah Sukkarieh of the University of Sydney, who will carry out trials on several farms in central New South Wales.
During the trials, the robot algorithms (算法) and mechanics will be fine-tuned to make it better suited to ailing livestock and ensure it safely navigates around potential hazards including trees, mud, swamps, and hills.
“We want to improve the quality of animal health and make it easier for farmers to maintain large landscapes where animals roam free,” says Sukkarieh.
The robots are not limited to herding and monitoring livestock. They have been created to count individual fruit, inspect crops, and even pull weeds.
Many robots are equipped with high-tech sensors and complex learning algorithms to avoid injuring humans as they work side by side. The robots also learn the most efficient and safest passages, and allow engineers and farmers to analyze and better optimize the attributes and tasks of the robot, as well as provide a live stream giving real-time feedback on exactly what is happening on the farms.
Of course, some worry lies in replacing agricultural workers. However, it is farmers that are pushing for the advancements due to ever-increasing labor vacancies, making it difficult to maintain large-scale operations.
The robots have provided major benefits to farmers in various ways, from hunting and pulling weeds to monitoring the condition of every single fruit. Future farms will likely experience a greater deal of autonomy as robots take up more and more farm work efficiently.
1.What may farmers be able to do with robots appearing on the farming scene?
A.Upgrade farm produce.
B.Enjoy more leisure hours.
C.Modify the genes of crops.
D.Cut down farming costs.
2.What will “farmbots” be expected to do?
A.Take up many of the farmers’ routines.
B.Provide medical treatments for livestock.
C.Lead the trend in farming the world over.
D.Improve the quality of pastures for grazing.
3.What can robots do when equipped with high-tech sensors and complex learning algorithms?
A.Help farmers choose the most efficient and safest passages.
B.Help farmers simplify their farming tasks and management.
C.Allow farmers to learn instantly what is occurring on the farm.
D.Allow farmers to give them real-time instructions on what to do.
4.Why are farmers pressing for robotic farming?
A.Farming costs are fast increasing.
B.Robotics technology is maturing.
C.Robotic farming is the trend.
D.Labor shortage is worsening.
5.What does the author think future farms will be like?
A.More and more automated.
B.More and more productive.
C.Larger and larger in scale.
D.Better and better in condition.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.A

Passage 8 氮肥与水稻高产
(25-26高二上·天津·期末)The worldwide 20th century “Green Revolution”, which saw huge year-by-year increases in global grain yields (产量),was fueled by the development in the 1960s of new high-yielding dwarfed (矮小) varieties known as Green Revolution Varieties (GRVs).
These dwarfed GRVs are common all over the world in today’s wheat and rice crops. Because they are dwarfed, with short stems, GRVs devote relatively more resources than tall plants to the growth of grains rather than stems, and are less likely to suffer yield losses from wind and rain damage. However, the growth of GRVs requires farmers to use large amounts of nitrogen fertilizers (氮肥) in their fields. These fertilizers are costly to farmers and cause extensive damage to the natural environment. The development of new GRVs combining high yields with reduced fertilizer requirements is thus a global agricultural goal.
Researchers at the University of Oxford and the Chinese Academy of Science have discovered for the first time a gene that can help reach the goal. Comparing 36 different dwarfed rice varieties, the researchers identified a novel natural gene that helps increase the rate at which plants make use of nitrogen from the soil. This gene, called GRF4, can increase the amount of a protein (蛋白质) in plant cells. GRF4 is actually a promoter that encourages the activity of other genes—genes that promote nitrogen uptake (摄入). Professor Harberd said, “Increasing GRF4 levels could contribute to an increase in the grain yields of GRVs, especially at low fertilizer input levels.”
The researchers say the latest rice variety containing GRVs should now become a major target for farmers in increasing crop yields and fertilizer use efficiency, with the aim of achieving the global grain yield increases necessary to feed a growing world population at a reduced environmental cost. It is very urgent at the moment.
Professor Harberd added, “This study is an example of how studying fundamental science objectives can lead rapidly to potential solutions to global challenges. It shows how the discovery can enable chances for food security and future new green revolutions.”
1.What can we know about dwarfed GRVs?
A.They have higher yield and taller stems.
B.They are a “double-edged sword”.
C.They are environmentally friendly.
D.They can be easily affected by weather.
2.What does “the goal” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Increasing the rate of nitrogen use.
B.Producing cheaper nitrogen fertilizers.
C.Using fewer fertilizers to produce more grains.
D.Finding a gene to solve agricultural problems.
3.What can GRF4 directly do?
A.It promotes other genes' activity.
B.It increases the output of crops.
C.It takes in nitrogen from the soil.
D.It lowers fertilizer input levels.
4.What’s the urgent thing recently according to the researchers?
A.Decreasing the amount of fertilizers required by GRVs.
B.Encouraging farmers to adopt the new rice variety.
C.Calling on farmers to use effective fertilizers.
D.Focusing on the improvement of GRF4.
5.What’s the main idea of the text?
A.GRVs—a potential measure to achieve global food security.
B.The influence of agricultural development on the environment.
C.The importance of raising public awareness of global issues.
D.GRF4—foundation for new green revolutions.

Passage 9 青少年创业楷模
(25-26高三上·天津·月考)Alice Moore is a teenage entrepreneur (创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business Ailie Candy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product-CanCandy.
As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of Ailie Candy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
1.How did Moore react to her dad’s warning?
A.She argued with him. B.She tried to find a way out.
C.She paid no attention. D.She chose to consult dentists.
2.What is special about Can Candy?
A.It is beneficial to dental health. B.It is free of sweeteners.
C.It is sweeter than other candies. D.It is produced to a dentists’ recipe.

Passage 10 Z世代创业代表
(25-26高三上·天津红桥·月考)Generation Z (or Gen Z, Americans born during the late 1990s and early 2000s) are making a significant impact on the world. 62% of them say they want to start their own business or that they already have. We shouldn’t be surprised by the start-up desires of the generation that have grown up digitally connected to the wider world. They have an audience literally at their fingertips if they can come up with a persuasive content and product ecosystem that people want to buy into.
Destiny Snow is one such teen. Snow and her sister grew up watching their mother own and operate her income tax and accounting business, in addition to her real estate company. “It’s much easier to believe that something can be done after seeing it done,” says Snow. “Seeing my mother overcome her difficulties and achieve her goals encouraged me to go into business for myself as well.”
When Snow first launched her online store, she was surprised that her business was quite sluggish. “I anticipated many customers, especially my friends and family rushing to buy what I was selling, but that wasn’t the case. Lack of their support discouraged me at the time,” she admits. Instead of giving up, she took a break to analyze her approach.
“I knew I had the ability to run a successful business, I just needed to figure out what I was doing wrong. I watched countless marketing videos, reviewed success stories, read business articles and ordered piles of business books,” she says. “Soon I realized I needed to identify my target audience and make use of social media marketing. To succeed in running a company, I have to win the hearts and minds of total strangers,” says Snow. Her realization as well as quick and proper adjustment eventually made her a successful teen entrepreneur.
As more and more entrepreneurs enter the marketplace to deliver their unique products and services to the world, the opportunities to succeed will still be out there, although they’ll be harder to seize.

Passage 11 厦大学生宁夏支教
(2026高三·全国·专题练习)A recent hit TV series has inspired students from Xiamen University in Fujian Province to join their predecessors in a cooperative project spanning more than 2,000 kilometers. It ranges from the hospitable south coast to the Gobi Desert in China’s arid Northwest.
Minning Town tells the story of residents of the Ningxia Hui autonomous region who migrated from uninhabitable areas and built a township from scratch. The settlement (定居地), whose name is a combination of the short forms of Ningxia and Fujian (“Min” for Fujian and “Ning” for Ningxia), embodies the long-standing mutual assistance program. Since the 1990s, a national strategic plan for cooperation between the eastern and western areas has seen groups of volunteers travel from Fujian to the inland region to provide “pairing assistance”. Since 1999, the program has seen some 250 students from Xiamen University volunteer to teach in Ningxia’s poorest areas for a year.
Traces of Fujian are easily found in Minning. For example, the downtown buildings have red triangulated roofs with swallow-tailed ridges that give a flavor of the architectural style in the south of the coastal province. Peng Jing recalled her first impressions of Minning as a recent graduate. “Sometimes, I felt like I was still in Fujian. It was all so familiar,” she said. She and her peers arrived in the town in July to provide a two-week after-school hobby club for local children during the summer break.
To her surprise, many parents were waiting for them at the school gate on the night they arrived, hoping to enroll their children in the club. “I didn’t realize we would have such a big impact,” she said. “When they hear us speaking Mandarin, storekeepers and taxi drivers immediately know that we’ re from Fujian,” she added, noting that so many people from the province have arrived to offer support that the locals easily recognize the accent.
She says her life as a teacher in the inland region is not too hard, thanks to sealed roads, constant running water and electricity, and supermarkets that carry a full range of goods. As a bonus, the school buildings support multimedia teaching equipment.
1.Why did those students from Xiamen University come to Ningxia in the 1990s?
A.To travel and experience. B.To teach here for a year.
C.To complete a summer program. D.To arouse attention to poor areas.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A.The program has lasted for 40 years.
B.Minning is a combination of Fujian and Ningxia.
C.The program has seen 350 students volunteering to teach.
D.The residents in Minning are from Fujian Province.
3.Why did Peng Jing say “I felt like I was still in Fujian”?
A.Because Minning has many traces of her hometown.
B.Because Minning is the same as Fujian Province.
C.Because she missed her hometown.
D.Because she was used to living in Fujian.
4.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5?
A.Teaching life in the inland region is tough.
B.Parents react indifferently to their club.
C.Multimedia teaching equipment is not accessible.
D.Locals extend warm welcome to those students.
5.What is probably the most suitable title?
A.How Was Minning Town Built?

Passage 12 种子库安全
(2026·云南玉溪·二模)Some 50 km south of London, deep in the Sussex countryside, lies the world’s largest seed bank: the Millennium Seed Bank (MSB). It celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, with over 2.5 billion seeds collected from 40,000 species — not just in storage, but ready to be put to work restoring habitats and fighting extinction through a global partner network.
When the seed bank first opened in 2000, its objective was straightforward: to collect 10 percent of the world’s wild plant species, a target achieved in 2009. The focus now is on seed quality — concentrating on useful species to address biodiversity loss and climate change. This shift in focus comes as global environmental threats become more severe than ever before.
Each seed sent to the bank goes through a careful process of cleaning and drying before being stored in underground vaults (地窖) at -20℃, with some even preserved in liquid nitrogen at -196℃. These conditions can keep seeds alive for decades, even hundreds of years.
The MSB partners with over 100 countries, with China as a key partner. Since 2005, it has worked closely with the Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, home to Asia’s largest seed bank. “We helped China design the facilities during its building phase and have built a really productive relationship since then,” said Breman, a senior research leader from the MSB.“I was there last year to discuss the next stage of our partnership. China has world-class facilities and is doing remarkable work, and its progress is critical for the worldwide efforts.”
Despite these strong global partnerships, the challenge remains: scientists estimate that 45 percent of flowering plant species are now at risk of extinction. Climate change, pollution, and overfarming are speeding up biodiversity loss. The MSB and its partners continue to work tirelessly to protect these vulnerable plant species.
1.What is the initial goal of the Millennium Seed Bank?
A.To keep seeds alive for many years.
B.To include 10% of the world’s wild plant species.
C.To focus on seeds with higher quality and potential.
D.To collect seeds from 40,000 wild plant species by 2009.
2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Where the MSB stores its seeds.
B.How seeds are processed and conserved.
C.How seeds are used in habitat restoration.
D.Why numerous plant species are facing extinction.
3.What can be inferred about China from Breman’s words?
A.It designed the facilities for the MSB.
B.It needs more efforts to be professional.
C.It has the most advanced seed-bank equipment.
D.It plays a vital role in international plant protection.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To compare different seed banks in the world.
B.To call for urgent action to address biodiversity loss.
C.To introduce the MSB and its global conservation work.
D.To highlight China’s commitment to global seed conservation.

【答案】范文
Rural revitalization has become a shared vision across China, bringing great changes to the countryside. Last summer, I visited a mountain village. Solar panels on houses provided clean energy, and a digital platform helped farmers sell organic produce directly to cities, increasing their income. Old buildings were turned into homestays, attracting tourists. This revitalization boosted the local economy, created jobs, and preserved traditional crafts like bamboo weaving. Environmentally, clean energy reduced pollution.
As young people, we can raise awareness about rural development, use our skills to help farmers, and participate in volunteer activities. We should actively contribute to building a better countryside.
