►高考前沿:
预计在2026年,在应用文、说明文和记叙文的阅读理解中,将更加注重对细节理解题的考查。细节理解题一般根据短文提供的信息和事实进行提问,命题人往往通过对文章细节加以改写来考查考生准确理解细节的能力。细节理解题在高考阅读理解中占有相当大的比例,一般包括:
1.直接信息题——在原文中可直接找到答案,常用who,what,when,where,why和how等提问。
2.间接信息题——需要将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语意上的转换,两者存在表达上的差异,有时需要进行加工或整理方能得出结论。
3.数字计算题/图表、图画题--中直接给出来相关数据,要经过具体的计算才能够得出答案。
(
无论细节理解题以何种方式提出问题,考生都应牢记一个解题原则——“本本主义”,即始终以原文为依据,无需阅读多个段落甚至全文后进行归纳总结或分析推理,正确答案往往对应原文中的某个具体信息。
直接细节题,采用
“
原文定位
”
和
“
原词复现
”
的方式解答; 题干或者选项未出现原文直接信息时候,利用
“
同义转换,英英互译
”
的方式寻找正确的答案。在查找同义信息的时候,不能只找相似的对应词汇而忽略整体语篇环境。

终极考点
考点01 直接信息题
考点抢分--核心精粹 高效速记
考生可以采取“关键词定位法”,即“带着问题找答案”的方法,通过定位找题眼。先从题干中提取关键性词语(题眼),然后以此为线索,运用略读及寻读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此关键词相关的段落、语句,快速定位该题与哪一段哪一句有关,然后仔细推敲,仔细比较所给选项与文中细节的细微区别,在准确理解细节的前提下,最后确定答案。简言之,可采用“一找二定三比对”的方法。即:
1.若针对特殊标点符号,举例子,名人名言出题,只需要阅读符号,例子,名言前后的内容,然后与选项核对。
2.在出现一些关键词,如however、but、moreover、therefore、 thus时,要特别注意句子前后意义的转折,递进,因果等关系。
3.细节题的答案一般是同义替换项或者同义转换项。
4.选项中有绝对语气词的一般不是答案。如:must, never, the most, all, merely, only, have to, any, no, completely, none,等。但不是绝对,也有例外。
5.注意选项中的副词,形容词和介词短语等与原文是否一致。如: must, may, often, should, usually, might, most, more or less, likely, all, never,few 等存在程度不同,经常被偷换,往往被忽视。
6.细节题干扰项特点:与原文内容相反;与原文内容一半相符,一半不同;叙述过于绝对化;原文没有提及.

English Market Towns to Visit in the UK
English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop.
Hereford, Herefordshire
Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there.
Ludlow, Shropshire
Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September.
Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere-hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters-just what you imagine in an attractive English market town.
Mevagissey, Cornwall
Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor(港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Comish pie. It’s delicious.
1. Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta?
A. In the Ludlow Castle. B. In the Foodie Center of England.
C. In the Hereford Cathedral. D. In the Black and White House Museum.
2. What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center?
A. It’s situated near a big island. B. It’s almost surrounded by water.
C. It’s known for its flower festival. D. It’s easily accessible from London.

典例2【2025新高考I卷 D】
Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics.
13. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time.
C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A. The importance of plastic recycling. B. The severity of the microplastic problem.
C. The danger in overusing pure water. D. The difficulty in treating polluted water.
15. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings.

The greening of planes, trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放). As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbons
The hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air.
CARS — Batteries
Batteries are energy-efficient and electric cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge.
TRAINS — Electricity
Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways.
TRUCKS — Hydrogen
fuel cells
Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter choice than batteries for trucks, but making green hydrogen is expensive.
SHIPS — Liquid ammonia
Liquid ammonia is easy to keep and transport, but it is hard to ignite (点燃) and requires an engine redesign.
This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
21. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?
A. 11.6%. B. 45.1%. C. 74.5%. D. 86.1%.
22. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily?
A. Planes. B. Trucks. C. Trains. D. Ships.
23. What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition?
A. Limiting fuel consumption. B. Putting more effort into renewables.
C. Improving energy efficiency. D. Making electricity more affordable.

A 19-year-old runner with Down syndrome (唐氏综合症) has become the youngest person with a learning disability to complete a marathon. Lloyd Martin created history by finishing the 26.2-mile (42 km) course of the London Marathon guided by his mother Ceri Hooper, 54, on Sunday.
After undergoing surgery on both of his knees in 2021, Martin began running 5 kilometers at a time. The Daily Mail reported that the teenager began training for the marathon in December, coached by his mother, an experienced marathoner. After Christmas, he began increasing his mileage and prepared for London.
More than 50,000 excellent and charitable runners took to the streets of the British capital, with a record 578,000 people entering the ballot (抽签) for this event, making it the most popular marathon in the world.
The Guinness World Records awarded Lloyd Martin a certificate at the end of the race. He is the youngest person to complete a marathon in the intellectual impairment (损伤) category, the book of records announced.
The teenager and his mother broke down in tears after finishing the race. “In Lloyd’s words, it’s achieving his dream.” Ms. Hooper was quoted by the BBC as saying. “Really anything is possible if you put your mind to it. With a bit of work, you can achieve it.”
Martin ran the first 14 miles of the marathon without stopping, which was the farthest he had ever run, his mother said. He then walked the rest of the miles till the finish line as the crowd cheered for him.
“It was tough, but we had a ball,” Ms. Hooper said, adding that her son’s achievement was important for people with Down syndrome. “We did not say a lot when we crossed the finish line. We just both burst into tears,” she said. Prior to the marathon, Mr. Martin had run the farthest distance of 5 km in November last year.

Two months into my Ph.D., I was on the verge of quitting. My broken English made it hard to keep up with colleagues. At lab meetings, the conversation progressed so quickly that by the time I understood a question, the discussion had already moved on. I once ruined an experiment due to misunderstanding instructions. In a presentation, I embarrassed myself by confusing “gene dilution” with “gene deletion”. I felt out of place, uncertain about my future in science.
I had moved to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland, excited to become a scientist, but quickly felt overwhelmed. The lab was full of complex instruments I had only ever seen in textbooks, and I had no idea how to use them. Most of all, the language barrier made everything harder. Classes were taught in English, and I struggled to follow the discussions.
After a particularly embarrassing presentation, a senior lab member pulled me aside and said, “You are not here because of your English. You are here because you can think.” His words gave me the strength to continue. I began recording every class and replaying the discussions at night. Slowly, my English improved, and I grew more confident in expressing my ideas.
Years later, after training in Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States, I returned to my hometown to run my own lab. My students all spoke Mandarin, and I assumed they wouldn’t struggle as much as I had because they didn’t face the same language barrier. But I soon realized they too battled doubts about their careers and abilities. I realized my job was to teach them to think critically and solve problems creatively, just as I had been taught. When I saw a student struggling with an experiment, I told her, “You are not here because your experiments always work. You are here because you can think.” Her smile told me she was encouraged by these words.
Today, what I value most in my job is the transformation I see in the students who arrive uncertain, but who leave with enough confidence to challenge me, their professor. For me, helping others cross the bridge is the true reward of scientific life.
8.Why did the author almost quit her Ph. D.according to paragraph 1?
A.She disliked lab discussions. B.She lacked future plans in science.
C.She messed up her presentation. D.She struggled with language barriers.
9.What was the turning point for the author during her Ph.D.studies?
A.Her embarrassing presentation.
B.Returning to her hometown to run a lab.
C.The senior lab member’s supportive remark.
D.Moving to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland.
10.Which word would best describe the author as a teacher?
A.Inspirational. B.Strict. C.Humorous. D.Authoritative.
11.What does the underlined phrase “cross the bridge” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Travel between countries for education. B.Change from a student to a professor.
C.Grow from uncertainty to confidence. D.Build bonds between professors and students.

Killer whales in the coastal waters off Washington have been seen massaging each other by rubbing pieces of kelp (海带) between their bodies. Researchers filmed the animals selecting and biting off the kelp into long, thin pieces, then placing one piece onto the back of another whale. The scientists think this might have a health or cleanliness function, but they also believe they are a form of social bonding. The findings appear to be an example of tool use in whales, with the animals fashioning a piece of kelp and using it for a planned purpose.
During 12 days of studying a population of killer whales, the team recorded 30 times of kelp massage. “We see it multiple times per day,” said lead researcher Dr Weiss. This could be a marine version of behaviour seen in monkeys, where animals spend hours picking through fur, cleaning and removing harmful insects. Physical touch in animals is important for building and maintaining social relationships, and killer whales are highly social animals.
The view from the air has provided new insight into underwater behaviour, including how the animals interact. High-quality video showed that whales with rougher skin were more likely to engage in the behaviour, suggesting it may help with skin health. It is not yet clear whether this behaviour is unique to this group or more widespread among other whale populations. However, scientists say the discovery is exciting, as these objects were being used in a way never before reported in marine mammals.
The study of this threatened killer whale population was started by Dr Balcomb more than 50 years ago. Initially, he wanted to examine the threats to their survival, particularly as the population was targeted for capture and sale to some marine parks.

On a snowy morning in Stockholm, the Candela C-8 looks like a standard speedboat. Once it picks up speed, something extraordinary happens: the hull (船体) lifts entirely out of the water, “flying” half a meter above the surface. This is the new generation of electric hydrofoils (水翼船).
They are ideal for urban transport, says Gustav Hasselskog, the founder of Candela technology company. They are quiet, emission-free and cheap to run — the C-8’s cost per mile is about 5% of that of a traditional speedboat. In many cities, to reduce the disturbance caused by large waves, boats are usually speed-limited. Hydrofoils, however, cause almost no wake and thus travel faster. Hasselskog believes they could reshape urban transport by shifting traffic from blocked roads to underused waterways, which he terms “blue highways”.
The Candela C-8 is supported by three thin, red struts (支柱), which are linked to two underwater wings that turn forward motion into lift. By lifting the hull out of the water, the boat reduces drag by as much as 80 percent, saving a huge amount of energy. Sensors around the boat measure waves and control systems adjust the wings 100 times a second, providing such a solid, smooth ride that the boat feels as though it is on rails.
The power needed to drive a hydrofoil varies directly with its mass, so minimizing a hull’s overall weight is also of importance. The wings must be small enough to reduce drag and strong enough to bear the boat’s weight. The solution is to borrow from aerospace and motor racing, and use carbon fiber. As for motors, Candela now has a partnership with makers of electric vehicles, allowing electric boats to use standard fast-chargers designed for cars.
The potential impact is significant with nearly half of the world’s population living in coastal regions where cities are often stuck in traffic. While large traditional public boats will still be needed for heavy routes, on short passenger-only routes in cities, electric hydrofoils may be about to take off.
16.What does Gustav Hasselskog expect the Candela C-8 to do?
A.Boost coastal tourism. B.Remodel urban traffic.
C.Lower travel expenses. D.Promote road building.
17.Which part of the Candela C-8 plays a vital role in its high energy efficiency?
A.Its type of drive. B.Its power source.
C.Its control systems. D.Its underwater wings.
18.What does the author think of the large traditional public boats?
A.They are out of date. B.They show huge potential.
C.They are irreplaceable. D.They need to be improved.
19.What can be a suitable title for the text?

This weekend I had the pleasure of seeing the Latvian animated film Flow in the theater. I’d never heard of it, but all of the other options were sequels (续集) or Christmas movies. Flow had a great trailer (预告片), excellent reviews, and won many awards. I was sold.
It is about the adventures of a black cat, a yellow dog, and several other animals that band together to survive a catastrophic flood. There are no people in the film. In fact, there is no dialogue at all in the hour and a half.
You would think that a movie without any human characters or dialogue would be boring. Well, Flow is anything BUT. On the contrary, I was often on the edge of my seat, terrified for the danger these little guys faced. They’re constantly escaping enemies and rising water. Eventually, our black cat finds himself in a new land. At the start of the movie he is alone, but by the end he is surrounded by new friends.
What, if anything, does this movie “mean”? Clearly, one of the basic themes is unity — different species that initially don’t get along eventually learn to help each other survive. But I think the fact that humans are completely absent seems intentional. The animals pass through run-down, abandoned towns, implying that humanity may have been wiped out by a disaster. Combined with the flood, this suggests a metaphor about climate change and sea level rise. The movie’s metaphors are subtle: water is an ever-present symbol in the film, and it is constantly flowing forward, pushing the action and our characters. With the title literally named FLOW, temporariness seems to be the main message: things constantly changing, the world moves on. We often can’t control storms of life. What we can control are our own actions. You can choose to fight the current or go with it and make the best of what you find down river.
Or it could mean something else completely different to you! Like the best poems, this movie is open to multiple interpretations.
23.What initially motivated the author to watch the film Flow?
A.Recommendations from strangers. B.Curiosity about an unknown movie.
C.Its positive reception and many awards. D.Its unique theme concerning animals.
24.Which of the following is a distinctive feature of Flow?
A.It contains no spoken dialogue. B.It involves more than human characters.
C.It is a short animation within 90 minutes. D.It is primarily a Christmas-themed story.
25.In the author’s opinion, what does humans’ absence from the film imply?
A.The difficulty of survival. B.The loss of humanity.
C.The unpredictability of life. D.The unity of diverse species.
26.Where is the text probably from?
A.A textbook on animation. B.An eco-tour journal.
C.An entertainment website. D.An editorial on global warming.

Scientists have known that sperm whales communicate through patterns of clicks known as codas. These sounds are not random. Instead, they form complex sequences that whales use when interacting with members of their family groups. Yet the real meaning of these signals has long remained a mystery. Hidden within the ocean’s depths is a communication system far more complicated than researchers once imagined. Many experts believe that such a system may even include something similar to a basic language, but no one has been able to fully figure it out so far.
To solve this long-standing puzzle, scientists have turned to AI for help. By feeding thousands of whale recordings into advanced computer models, scientists have begun to detect patterns that human ears alone could never recognize. Similar to the way large language models learn patterns in human speech, AI systems can analyze enormous collections of whale codas and identify repeating structures within them. In early experiments, these systems were able to predict the type of coda and even identify which whale produced it with remarkable accuracy.
Inspired by these results, researchers launched Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), an international collaboration bringing together marine biologists, linguists, engineers and computer scientists to interpret the communication system of sperm whales. By combining underwater recording devices with powerful AI models, the team hopes to map the hidden structure of whale sounds and eventually understand how whales exchange information.
If successful, the project could transform how humans understand animal intelligence. Not only might it reveal that whales possess a complicated communication system, but it could also show that language-like structures exist far beyond the human world. In this sense, AI may become more than a technological tool. Properly used, it could help humans listen, perhaps for the first time, to the voices of another species.
27.What can we learn about sperm whales’ codas from paragraph 1?
A.They can only be heard in the deep ocean.
B.They are simple signals for daily communication.
C.They carry meanings that are waiting to be explained.
D.They differ greatly from other sea animals’ sound patterns.
28.What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?
A.The importance of large language models.
B.The process of collecting whale recordings.
C.The role AI plays in studying whale codas.
D.The achievements in whale protection research.
29.What does the author say about Project CETI?
A.It has solved the mystery of animal intelligence.
B.It aims to make whale research a separate discipline.
C.It helps develop advanced underwater recording devices.
D.It may improve human understanding of animal language.
30.Which of the following is the best title for the text?

B.Sperm Whales: Creatures with Special Languages.
C.New Discoveries in Ocean Ecosystem Protection.

典例1【2025 浙江1月B】
When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact.
According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.”
Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.
Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.”
I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”
24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed.
C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats.
25. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of?
A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.
C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.
26. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”?
A. Make diet decisions on their own. B. Share their food with other kids.
C. Eat up what is provided for them. D. Help their parents do the dishes.
27. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following?
A. Costly. B. Complex. C. Workable. D. Contradictory.

When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
8. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss.
C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well.
9. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants?
A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment.
C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity.
10. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?
A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability.
C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood

典例3【2025浙江1月D】
As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
32. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand.
C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition.
33. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey.
C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test.
34. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task.
C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product.
C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women.

典例4【2024 新高考I卷C】
Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper? And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material? The answers to both questions are often “no.” The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset(心态) and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content.
When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks – like identifying the main idea in a reading passage – to ones that require mental abstraction – such as drawing inferences from a text.
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper’s physical properties. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.
But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis(假说).” According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.
Audio(音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies – say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person. However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces.
Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.
28. What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Seem unlikely to last. B. Seem hard to explain.
C. Become ready to use. D. Become easy to notice.
29. What does the shallowing hypothesis assume?
A. Readers treat digital texts lightly.
B. Digital texts are simpler to understand.
C. People select digital texts randomly.
D. Digital texts are suitable for social media.
30. Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers?
A. They can hold students’ attention.
B. They are more convenient to prepare.
C. They help develop advanced skills.
D. They are more informative than text.
31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Students should apply multiple learning techniques.
B. Teachers should produce their own teaching material.
C. Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education.
D. Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored.

①数字阅读现状:随着互联网和电子设备的普及,数字阅读的比例不断上升。《第52次中国互联网络发展状况统计报告》显示,截至2023年6月,我国网络文学用户规模达5.35亿,占网民整体的48.6%,反映出数字阅读在人们生活中的重要地位。
②纸质阅读优势研究:多项研究表明,纸质阅读在理解和记忆方面具有优势。例如,挪威斯塔万格大学的研究发现,阅读纸质书的学生在阅读理解测试中的表现比阅读电子书的学生更好。这可能是因为纸质书能提供更直观的空间线索,帮助读者更好地构建知识框架。 ③多任务处理对学习的影响:在数字环境中,人们更容易进行多任务处理,如一边阅读一边查看社交媒体或回复消息。美国密歇根大学的研究指出,多任务处理会分散注意力,降低学习效率,影响对知识的理解和掌握。
④音频和视频学习的应用:在教育领域,音频和视频学习资源越来越受到重视。许多在线教育平台提供丰富的视频课程和音频资料,方便学生随时随地学习。然而,研究也发现,虽然音频和视频能增加学习的趣味性,但在知识的深度理解和记忆方面,可能不如阅读文本有效。

Like other cities in New Jersey’s Rust Belt (铁锈地带), Paterson has fallen on hard times, with its once-famous textile (纺织品) industry in disrepair and its schools abandoned.
Strickland, an expert in school design and instructor at MIT in Boston, had been hired as a consultant to help Paterson find sites for new schools. The architect hatched a grand plan to help revitalize (复兴) Paterson’s schools and the city itself.
Six career academies are holding classes at old sites. These small changes have not gone unnoticed. The city, as the residents expected, has the potential to shine.
A nearly unoccupied three-story shopping mall houses two schools, one focused on medical careers, the other on media arts and urban planning. English and math teachers for the two schools lead classes in storefronts that were empty just a year ago. Across town, under the thick wooden beams (横梁) of an old textile factory and a train engine plant, students with disabilities will learn about careers with the region’s transportation systems.
Strickland requires his graduate students at MIT to help Paterson construct models for new building projects in the city. Jane Riesman, one of Strickland’s students, has been working with her kids on an educational park that would replace a wasteland of lifeless asphalt (沥青) and grass that stretches between two downtown schools. The surrounding neighborhood is hardly inspiring; pulling-down of a high-rise housing project is underway, showering dust everywhere. But Riesman’s students envision a very different place. One of the student models includes a swimming pool, skating court, climbing wall, sandbox, and a pond with a fountain and lots of trees. “It’s fun, and it makes us feel like we’re in charge and helping the community,” says 15-year-old Marilyn Medina, one of the model’s creators.
Strickland says it’s important for the students to dream. “They’re setting a tone for the town,” he says. “The kids can push the envelope and change the culture.”
1. What was Paterson like in the past according to Paragraph 1?
A. It fell into severe disrepair.
B. It rarely produced any iron.
C. Its textile industry was well-known.
D. Its schools were completely deserted.
2. What was the residents’ attitude towards Strickland’s plan?
A. Opposed. B. Favorable.
C. Dismissive. D. Uncaring.
3. What can we infer about Riesman’s students?
A. Diligent and innocent. B. Funny and responsible.
C. Honest and trustworthy. D. Imaginative and helpful.
4. What does the text focus on?
A. Transforming old buildings to shine.
B. Revitalizing the city’s shopping mall.
C. Developing students’ logical thinking.
D. Witnessing the rise and fall of Paterson.

International sportswear giants have long competed to place their high-tech running shoes on the feet of elite (精英) athletes. Now, they eye a fresh opportunity: targeting the extended hours when runners shift from gear designed for speed to footwear made for comfort.
Companies that once focused only on fashion or outdoor recreation are rushing into the so-called “recovery footwear” market. “After a long run or intense workout, there’s a moment when you just want your feet to breathe,” explains Sam Poser, a senior industry analyst. “This isn’t a new trend, but what’s different now is the scale.”
Traditionally, post-run shoes have been a specialized product. However, leading brands are now making a concerted effort to carve out a mainstream market. A recent survey suggests over 50% of U.S. consumers are interested in recovery footwear, not just to comfort the tired feet post-exercise but also to suit everyday casual wear. Many office workers have also joined runners as key customers, seeking relief from standing all day in rigid shoes.
The trend is led by Oofos, a brand that initially sought to design a shoe to propel (推动, 驱动) wearers faster and higher. Instead, the patent foam they developed had the opposite effect; it absorbed energy like a soft cushion, rather than delivering a springy bounce. Recognizing the potential, Oofos turned to focus exclusively on recovery, creating shoes that reduce impact and ease pressure on the body.
In contrast, Birkenstock takes a different approach. While Oofos emphasizes soft, shock-absorbent foam, Birkenstock prioritizes firm support. “Tired feet need stability, not just softness,” the brand argues. Its iconic soles, typically crafted from cork, provide the rigid structure that many adults seek after a long day on their feet.
According to Jeff Henderson, a franchise owner of four Fleet Feet stores in Ohio, the sector has rapidly transformed into big business. “Oofos is among the fastest-growing brands this decade,” he says. “And while Birkenstock is chipping away at its market share, the recovery category as a whole has really taken off.”
5. What differs the current recovery footwear market from the traditional one?
A. Involving international sportswear giants.
B. Boosting athletic performance via targeted design.
C. Focusing on outdoor recreation rather than sports.
D. Building a mainstream market through large-scale joint efforts.
6. What can we learn about recovery footwear from the passage?
A. Popularity among ordinary office workers.
B. Design of springy bounce for daily activities.
C. Exclusivity for professional runners after intense training.
D. Similarity in materials and design concepts across brands.
7. Why did Oofos change its direction to focus on recovery footwear?
A. Purpose of meeting casual wear demand.
B. Failure to improve athletic performance.
C. Reduction of foam material for shoes.
D. Desire for high-end market competition.
8. What can be inferred from Jeff Henderson’s words?
A. The recovery footwear industry is booming.
B. Oofos will surely become the top-selling brand.
C. Birkenstock has taken most of Oofos’ market share.
D. Fleet Feet profits mainly from selling running shoes.

Topiary, the practice of training plants into defined shapes, might remind people of scenes from Alice in Wonderland. Michael Gibson believes its lessons go beyond the aesthetic (审美). “Topiary teaches patience. After trimming (修剪), you have to wait for new growth,” he explained. “It can also reduce anxiety and improve focus.” In other words, it benefits both plants and humans.
To that end, Gibson uses his training in therapeutic horticulture (疗愈园艺) to serve communities. He is known for his distinctive style, based on what he calls the “Gibson method,” which has five elements: storytelling; geometry for balance and harmony; a special tree-trimming technique that shapes trees; visual effects for striking appearances; and directional trimming, which smooths the surface like brushing hair.
Depending on the plant variety and location, a single tree can take 5 to 10 hours to complete, while larger projects may take 20 to 30 hours and need to be maintained two or three times a year. At home in South Carolina, he retrims his topiaries every six to eight weeks, and a design can take years to fully develop.
Gibson started developing his signature method early in life. His mother, a beautician, taught him to cut hair, and his artist father introduced him to the fundamentals of art — geometric shapes, proportional faces, and 3D images. After years of practice in the yard, he turned topiary into a side job while doing other work. Gradually, clients and neighbors noticed his vision, and by 2021 he transformed it into a full-time career, focusing on and continuing to refine his topiary art.
Gibson is now creating a therapeutic sensory garden. He hopes it will be a place both children and adults keep returning to, while teaching them lessons in horticulture they can apply in everyday life. “When we’re throwing away dead wood and branches we don’t need anymore, think of those as bad habits,” he said. “You need to cut off the bad habits so they don’t affect your design later. That’s a life lesson.”
9. Which aspect of topiary does Gibson stress in paragraph 1?
A. Its aesthetic value. B. Its psychological benefits.
C. Its traditional methods. D. Its commercial potential.
10. Which of the following best describes the Gibson method?
A. Tech-driven. B. Time-efficient. C. Straightforward. D. Multidimensional.
11. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The impact of family education. B. Gibson’s path to his craft.
C. The challenge of topiary career. D. The popularity of topiary art.
12. What is the life lesson from horticulture according to Gibson?
A. Life is a journey of rises and falls.
B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
C. Removing what holds us back helps us grow.
D. What doesn’t defeat you makes you stronger.

For his 80th birthday, my grandfather, a man who had fixed everything with his large hands, received a tablet from my cousin. We gathered around, expecting him to be pleased. Instead, he held the device as if it were a foreign object, his thumb hovering awkwardly over the screen. He gave a polite smile that didn’t reach his eyes, and then set it aside.
Later that day, I found him in his workshop — his true kingdom, filled with the smell of wood and oil. The tablet was lying untouched on a shelf, gathering dust next to jars of nails. “It’s too... clean,” he explained to me. “There’s no weight to it, no resistance. How can you truly fix something you can’t feel?”
Then, one Saturday morning, he announced he was clearing out the garage. But what emerged from the garage was not bags of trash, but a parade of neighborhood kids, each carrying a bicycle with a problem: a loose chain, a wobbling wheel, a stubborn brake.
Grandpa had placed a small sign at the end of the driveway: “Doc’s Bike Shop — Payment by Story.” And so the driveway became his new workshop. He traded his expertise not for money, but for tales of school adventures and summer dreams. His rough, worn hands, once hesitant around a tablet, were sure and steady as they spun a wheel or tightened a bolt. The laughter of children and the ringing of bicycle bells replaced the previous silence of the community.
He didn’t need to enter their digital world; he created a real one in his own driveway. He wasn’t rejecting the new; he was simply reminding us that some connections can’t be downloaded. They have to be built, piece by piece, with the touch of a hand.
13. What can be inferred about the grandfather’s response to the tablet?
A. He hated to learn new technology.
B. He accepted it politely, though uninterested.
C. He considered it a waste of money and time.
D. He disliked the products made in foreign countries.
14. Why does the author mention the tablet gathering dust?
A. To imply the tablet was out of date.
B. To showcase grandfather’s attitude to the gift.
C. To highlight grandpa’s passion for his hobby.
D. To introduce the workshop’s messy condition.
15. What does the underlined word “wobbling” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Running steadily. B. Shining like a star.
C. Singing softly. D. Moving from side to side.
16. What did the grandfather achieve by starting the service in the driveway?
A. He proved his capability and productivity.
B. He demonstrated the complexity of craftsmanship.
C. He successfully earned himself money and fame.
D. He found a way to connect with younger generation.

When my children were little, they happily went along on our travels. But around age 10, my son made it clear: “I don’t really like to travel.” It broke my heart.
My daughter caught the travel bug early, but my son showed little enthusiasm — whether in Barcelona, the Louvre, or even a trip to see white whales. Still, I kept pushing. Before my daughter left for college, I proposed one last family trip. The rest of the family voted for Egypt. My son suggested we stay home. I bribed (贿赂) him with more screen time, and he agreed.
Egypt turned out to be the destination that clicked. At the Grand Egyptian Museum, my son — who usually speedwalked through museums — stopped. He read the information cards and stayed over artifacts. My husband and I kept quiet, afraid to break the spell. At the Temple of Karnak, he listened attentively as our guide explained its history. At the Valley of the Kings, he stood fascinated in Tutankhamun’s burial tomb, recalling what he’d learned in ninth grade. Watching our son discover that maybe travel wasn’t so bad after all, I suddenly realized what had been wrong all along.
I had been dragging him through my version of travel — the Mona Lisa, Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter — experiences viewed through my camera. But my son needed something to attract him, a tale he could follow and historical contexts he could connect with what he’d learned.
Our Egypt trip taught me that not all kids love travel the same way. My daughter gets great pleasure from aesthetic (审美的) experiences; my son needs a connection he can make. I’m glad I let go of my own travel dreams long enough to figure out what might fuel my children’s curiosity. Egypt worked for my son because it is consistent with who he is as a learner at this moment in his life. Maybe your unwilling traveller doesn’t hate travel — they’re just waiting for you to help them find their version of it.
17. What did the author do to persuade her son to join the Egypt trip?
A. She promised to buy him a gift.
B. She offered him extra screen time.
C. She let him choose the destination.
D. She told him about the white whales.
18. Why did the author and her husband keep quiet in the museum?
A. They were too surprised to speak.
B. They feared to interrupt their son.

A. He was drawn to nature exploration.
B. He was fond of aesthetic experiences.
C. He enjoyed traveling without a set plan.
D. He was keen on trips linked to his learning.
20. What is the main lesson the author learned from the Egypt trip?

Karen de Boer still remembers the morning when she almost missed her choir’s (合唱团的) performance during her freshman year in 1990. The choir, selected for an international tour to China, would perform at a church an hour away. But Karen overslept, missed the bus, and panicked.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she imagined the consequences. “This was my big chance. If I missed this performance, I might get kicked out of the choir. No choir meant no international tour.” Karen recalled, her voice still trembling slightly at the memory.
In desperation, she ran into the dorm hallway. “I was just standing there, completely lost, when I heard a door open behind me.”
It was Pam, Karen’s neighbor from across the hall. Karen and her friends had repeatedly interrupted her study with their loud laughter and practical jokes just weeks before.
“What’s wrong?” Pam asked, her voice surprisingly gentle despite their rocky history.
Karen swallowed hard. “I... I missed the choir bus. Our performance will start in less than an hour and no taxi will get there.”
To her astonishment, Pam didn’t hesitate. “Wait here,” she said firmly. Two minutes later, she returned with car keys. “I know where that church is. Let’s go.”
The ride was quiet at first. Then Karen finally found the courage to speak. “Pam... I’m sorry we kept you up at night...”
Pam kept her eyes on the road but smiled slightly. “Everyone deserves a second chance.”
They arrived with just minutes to spare. As Karen rushed to join her choir members, she turned back to see Pam waving encouragingly.
Years later, Karen sees Pam’s act as more than just a ride — it was forgiveness. “She showed me kindness I didn’t deserve,” Karen said. If she could speak to Pam today, she would apologize again for her past behavior and thank Pam. “That decision changed my life. It taught me the power of grace.”
21. Why was Karen concerned that morning?
A. She missed the choir bus. B. She forgot the international tour.
C. She mistook the performance time. D. She was kicked out of the choir.

Here on the side of Mount Everest, Kaji Bista has spent a decade keeping a lonely watch over a largely abandoned scientific laboratory. He expects the world’s highest research station to once again come to life.
The laboratory opened in 1990 and for more than 2 decades, it served as a special spot for scientists seeking to keep an eye on changing conditions on Earth’s tallest mountain. In 2015, shifting scientific priorities cost the lab most of its funding, and its 15-person staff were reduced to just Bista. Now, the tall, soft-spoken man spends 10 months a year working to keep the aging facility functioning. “My emotional attachment to the lab... keeps me going,” he said.
Bista began working at the station in 2006. He states that it was originally established to settle a disagreement between Italian and U. S. mountaineers over whether Everest or K2 was the world’s tallest. Researchers used GPS measurements to prove Everest was taller, as the Italian climbers maintained. That work ultimately evolved into a plan, backed by the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) and the Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), to develop a facility that could do much more.
Climate scientist Sudeep Thakuri says that he is grateful the lab has played an important role in not only his own studies of the region’s glaciers (冰川), but also in studies of regional biodiversity, the long-range transport of pollutants, etc. In response to the appeal of scientists, Suresh Kumar Dhungel, a senior scientist at NAST, reports discussions with CNR officials have recently resulted in moves to restore labaratory operations. And Agostino Da Polenza, president of Ev-K2-CNR, says he is working to regenerate lab programs. And his group plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign later to raise more money.
Bista does his best to repair those aging instruments. “When I face any problem, I turn to experts in Italy and then act accordingly,” he said. But sometimes it can take months for spare parts to arrive. “I am helpless in this case,” he said. Yet, Bista hasn’t lost hope. “This laboratory will soon be renovated (整修), ” he said. This is my belief.
25. What can we infer about the research station?
A. It has set off a disagreement. B. It has been fully functioning.
C. It involves high repair costs. D. It has been lightly regarded for years.
26. What was the station initially intended for?
A. Conducting a geographic survey.
B. Providing accommodation for mountain climbers.
C. Studying the effect of human activities on Everest.
D. Establishing a barmonious relationship between Italy and America.
27. What challenge is Bista encountering in his work?
A. Lack of timely guidance from professionals.
B. Pressure from administrative management.
C. Conflicts between research team members.
D. Delays in transporting the repair parts.
28. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

If those crucial nineteen minutes of “system maintenance” is taken from the brain every night, it may fail to complete its repair work. Over time, white noise, once considered a helpful sleep aid, may in fact damage the brain.
The debate over “noise-assisted sleep” has lasted for years. Researchers at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research once pointed out that even when we are asleep, our ears never stop working. Joëlle Adrien explained that all sounds are captured by the auditory nerve and sent to the brain. A meaningless background noise may not wake you, yet a baby's cry can instantly awaken a mother. This shows that the brain continues to filter information and consume energy during sleep.
For a long time, white noise was seen as a practical solution. Compared to “white light,” it contains a wide range of sound frequencies and is believed to mask sudden noises such as traffic or slamming doors. Under this logic, white noise was regarded as a lesser problem used to fight a greater one. Some studies even suggested that gentle sounds could reduce anxiety and slow the heart rate, which led to the growing popularity of sleep-aid apps.
However, more experts are now questioning this idea. Pierre Philip from Bordeaux University Hospital argues that using one noise to cover another is only a false solution. Across Europe, millions of people are exposed to nighttime noise levels that exceed the limit recommended by the World Health Organization. Long-term exposure not only disrupts sleep but also increases the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.
In fact, human evolution has never equipped us with the ability to block out continuous background noise. This approach may help people fall asleep in the short term, but at a deeper level of sleep structure, it may break the most valuable time for the brain’s self-repair.
29. What did the researchers point out about the brain while sleeping?
A. It ignores all meaningless noises.
B. It continues to process sounds.
C. It only reacts to sudden noises.
D. It stops working until wake-up.
30. Why was white noise once regarded as beneficial?
A. It covers abrupt noise with steady sound.
B. It removes environmental noise entirely.
C. It enhances auditory sensitivity at night.
D. It creates a perfectly silent setting.
31. What can be inferred from Pierre Philip’s statement?
A. White noise is a reliable long-term solution.
B. Noise pollution is no longer a health concern.
C. Masking noise does not solve the key problem.
D. The brain can easily adapt to continuous sound.
32. What is a consequence of using noise to assist sleep according to the last paragraph?
A. It helps the brain adjust better to environmental noise.

►高考前沿:
主旨大意题主要是测试考生对一篇文章或一段文字的深层理解程度以及在快速中准确把握主旨大意的能力。一般针对某一语段或某一语篇的主题标题或目的设题。这类题目考查的范围是基本论点、文章标题、主题或段落大意等。要求考生在理解全文的基础上能较好地运用概括、判断、归纳、推理等逻辑思维方法,对文章进行高度概括或总结,语言一般简洁、凝练,其干扰项的设置往往比较有迷惑性,属于高层次的阅读理解题。
词句猜测题中正确理解文中单词或短语的含义是理解文章的第一步,也是理解文章的基础,不懂单词含义根本就谈不上理解文章。但英语单词、短语的含义并非完全等同于词典中所标注的汉语意思,其含义随不同语境会有所不同。能根据上下文理解灵活变化的词义,才算是真正初步具备了一定的阅读理解能力。在高考阅读理解中,词义猜测题通常有以下三种情况:推测划线单词或短语的含义;推测划线代词指代含义;推测划线句子的含义。
(
1.主旨大意题
根据文章中心句,提炼主题词充当文章标题
当文章的写作对象特点较多时,常用写作对象的名称充当文章的题目
将文章的写作对象和其主要特点、意义或影响整合充当文章的题目
借助段落主题句归纳——常见位置——段首、段中、段末
借助文章主题段归纳——常见位置——首段(新闻报道、议论文、说明文)、末段(记叙文、议论文)
借助主题词归纳——抓住文中出现频率较高的主题词,然后对其进行概括和归纳,确定文章的主旨大意
要准确概括某段的大意,务必要知道该段的逻辑结构。
2. 词句猜测题
对于推测划线单词或短语的含义
,可以依据定义、同位语、文章中的例子、对比关系或比较关系、构词法、并列结构、因果关系等来解题;
对于推测代词含义
,可以从宏观上充分把握代词指代内容涉及段落的整体含义,并从微观入手抓住关键词或关键句,弄清逻辑关系(因果关系,转折关系,补充说明,对比关系等)来解题;
关于推测划线句含义
,采用三步法—一定位,返回原文,定位划线句子,理清句子结构;二分析,分析划线句子前后语境,根据关键信息和逻辑关系(因果关系,转折关系,补充说明,对比关系等)合理推断句意;三比较,比较选项,找出与推断出的句义相似的选项。

考点01 段落大意题
考点抢分--核心精粹 高效速记
段落大意题主要考查考生用准确的、简练的语言把一个段落的主要意思明确而完整地表达出来的能力。考生在做题时要特别注意“首尾兼顾”即所问段落的首句和尾句。
1.总分式(总分/总分总) 段落首句为主题句,段落其他各句是例子或论证,常出现在说明文或议论文中
2.分总式 段落开头是举例子或层层推进的细节表述,段尾才是段落主题句
3.分总分式 段落开头列举具体事例,通过事例得出结论,这个结论就是段落主题句,后面的内容只是继续或拓展该结论
4.无主题句式 段落虽无主题句,但可通过一些关键词或相似结构归纳出段落主题句

典例1【2025 新高考II卷D】
Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time.
Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away.
For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste.
A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept to its logical conclusion.
It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine.
Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything.

典例2【2025新高考I卷 B】
In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is writing important?” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication. However my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human.
4. Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1?
A. Ninth graders. B. Students’ parents.
C. Modern writers. D. Fictional characters.
5. Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay?
A. They were not given enough time. B. They had a very limited vocabulary.
C. They misunderstood the question. D. They had little interest in the topic.
6. What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Mixed. B. Amazing. C. Similar. D. Disturbing.
7. What does the author’s experience show?
A. Teaching is learning. B. Still waters run deep.
C. Knowledge is power. D. Practice makes perfect.

典例3【2025新高考I卷C】
While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there’s too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brömmelstroet are bothered by facts like these. In their new book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades ago. Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere. Some communities fought back. Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through.” Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.
Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly. In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can’t move safely around our communities? The authors of Movement have it right: it’s time to think differently about that street outside your front door.
8. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. Cars often get stuck on the road. B. Traffic accidents occur frequently.
C People walk less and drive more. D. Pedestrians fail to follow the rules.
9. What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do?
A. Keep their cities livable. B. Promote cultural diversity.
C. Help the needy families. D. Make expressways accessible.
10. What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s?
A. They boosted the sales of cars. B. They turned out largely ineffective.
C. They won government support. D. They advocated building new parks.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why the Rush? B. What’s Next?
C. Where to Stay? D. Who to Blame?

终极考点(二)(词句猜测题)
考点01 词义猜测题
考点抢分--核心精粹 高效速记
1.利用逻辑关系猜测词义, 按照一定的逻辑关系展开的,根据逻辑关系可以粗略地推断出生词词义。对猜测词义帮助较大的逻辑关系有反义关系、同义关系和因果关系等。
①反义关系: 如:转折: but、however、otherwise、though、even though; 对比: unlike、in contrast、while、on the contrary、on the other hand、rather than、instead of、contrary to;
②同义关系 如: similarly、like、or、namely、in other words、that is to say、just as、and、also、as well as、the same as、as...as…;
③因果关系 如:原因: because、because of、since、due to、thanks to、for、as a result of; 结果: so、therefore、so that、so/such...that…、lead to/result in/contribute to、as a result
2. 利用语法关系(下定义、同位语、同位语从句、定语从句、举例、标点符号等)猜测词义是一种快速有效的方法之一
①下定义:be、mean、refer to、be called/named、namely、that is、be considered等词语后面的内容是对前面内容的注解性说明,相当于对前面的词语下定义
②同位语(从句):同位语(从句)是对其前内容的解释说明,也可以帮助猜测词义
③定语从句:尤其注意which/who后面的非限制性定语从句
④举例:for example、for instance、such as、like、include、including等后的内容也有助于猜测词义
⑤标点符号:注意破折号(--)、冒号(:)、分号(;)后面的内容,注意引号(“”)或括号中的内容
3. 利用构词法猜测词义
使用构词法可以不借助阅读上下文便能大体猜出词义,然后再结合语境猜测,这样事半功倍,而且具有双重保险,大大提高了解题效率和正确率。所以做题时可以利用构词法的,一定先利用构词法,再结合语境解题。
①派生法 如:否定前缀或后缀,与原单词构成反义词,如dis-、un-、im-、-legg等; 前缀②re-表示“又、再”;co-表示“共同”如coauthor“合著者”;tele-表示“远的; ③合成法构成新词 根据合成词各个组成词的意义结合原文准确猜测词义,如teammate“队友”④转化法 一种词性用作另一种词性而词形不变
4. 利用上下文语境猜测词义
有些词义猜测题找不到以上标志性线索,可以利用上下文提供的情景和线索进行合乎逻辑的综合分析,进而推测词义。这也是近几年来高考考查的热点。利用上下文语境猜测词义,应全面考虑; 结合关键词,理解文章的意思; 利用词的褒贬性以及词语的组合搭配,提高猜测的准确率

典例1【2025浙江1月C】
A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers(化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.
The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds.
Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife. Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the sculpture of odd-looking seed heads.
It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth.
The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.

►高考前沿:
预计在2026年,在应用文、说明文和记叙文的阅读理解中,将更加注重对细节理解题的考查。细节理解题一般根据短文提供的信息和事实进行提问,命题人往往通过对文章细节加以改写来考查考生准确理解细节的能力。细节理解题在高考阅读理解中占有相当大的比例,一般包括:
1.直接信息题——在原文中可直接找到答案,常用who,what,when,where,why和how等提问。
2.间接信息题——需要将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语意上的转换,两者存在表达上的差异,有时需要进行加工或整理方能得出结论。

典例1【2025新高考Ⅱ卷 A】
English Market Towns to Visit in the UK
English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop.
Hereford, Herefordshire
Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops, eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town. It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there.
Ludlow, Shropshire
Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September.
Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere-hanging baskets, window boxes, and planters-just what you imagine in an attractive English market town.
Mevagissey, Cornwall
Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British TV show. The working harbor(港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Comish pie. It’s delicious.
1. Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta?
A. In the Ludlow Castle. B. In the Foodie Center of England.

典例2【2025新高考I卷 D】
Microplastics have become a common source of pollution across the Earth — they have settled in the deep sea and on the Himalayas, stuck inside volcanic rocks, filled the stomachs of seabirds and even fallen in fresh Antarctic snow. They are even appearing inside humans.
Now, new research suggests that a simple, cheap measure may significantly reduce the level of microplastics in water from your tap (水龙头): boiling and filtering (过滤) it. In a study published Wednesday in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, researchers from China found that boiling tap water for just five minutes — then filtering it after it cools — could remove at least 80 percent of its microplastics.
Crucially, this process relies on the water containing enough calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) to trap the plastics. In the study, boiling hard water containing 300 milligrams of calcium carbonate led to an almost 90 percent drop in plastics. But in samples with less than 60 milligrams of calcium carbonate, boiling reduced the level of plastics by just 25 percent. Additionally, the research didn’t include all types of plastics. The team focused only on three common types — polystyrene, polyethylene and polypropylene — and they didn’t study other chemicals previously found in water such as vinyl chloride.
Still, the findings show a potential path forward for reducing microplastic exposure — a task that’s becoming increasingly difficult. Even bottled water, scientists found earlier this year, contains 10 to 1,000 times more microplastics than originally thought.
Scientists are still trying to determine how harmful microplastics are — but what they do know has raised concerns. The new study suggests boiling tap water could be a tool to limit intake. “The way they demonstrated how microplastics were trapped through the boiling process was nice,” Caroline Gauchotte-Lindsay, an environmental engineer of the University of Glasgow in Scotland who was not involved in the research, tells New Scientist. “We should be looking into upgrading drinking water treatment plants so they remove microplastics.”
12. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept.
C. By giving examples. D. By providing statistics.
13. What determines the effectiveness of trapping microplastics in water?
A. The hardness of water. B. The length of cooling time.
C. The frequency of filtering. D. The type of plastic in water.
14. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning bottled water in paragraph 4?
A. The importance of plastic recycling. B. The severity of the microplastic problem.
C. The danger in overusing pure water. D. The difficulty in treating polluted water.
15. What is Gauchotte-Lindsay’s suggestion about?
A. Choice of new research methods. B. Possible direction for further study.
C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the findings.

The greening of planes, trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放). As the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for different modes of transport.
The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of the solutions to get us going green.
PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbons
The hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air.
CARS — Batteries
Batteries are energy-efficient and electric cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge.
TRAINS — Electricity
Some trains are already electrified through rails or wires; others can be made electric in pretty simple ways.
TRUCKS — Hydrogen
fuel cells
Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter choice than batteries for trucks, but making green hydrogen is expensive.
SHIPS — Liquid ammonia
Liquid ammonia is easy to keep and transport, but it is hard to ignite (点燃) and requires an engine redesign.
This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
21. What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?
A. 11.6%. B. 45.1%. C. 74.5%. D. 86.1%.
22. Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily?
A. Planes. B. Trucks. C. Trains. D. Ships.
23. What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition?
A. Limiting fuel consumption. B. Putting more effort into renewables.
C. Improving energy efficiency. D. Making electricity more affordable.

Two months into my Ph.D., I was on the verge of quitting. My broken English made it hard to keep up with colleagues. At lab meetings, the conversation progressed so quickly that by the time I understood a question, the discussion had already moved on. I once ruined an experiment due to misunderstanding instructions. In a presentation, I embarrassed myself by confusing “gene dilution” with “gene deletion”. I felt out of place, uncertain about my future in science.
I had moved to Hong Kong from the Chinese mainland, excited to become a scientist, but quickly felt overwhelmed. The lab was full of complex instruments I had only ever seen in textbooks, and I had no idea how to use them. Most of all, the language barrier made everything harder. Classes were taught in English, and I struggled to follow the discussions.
After a particularly embarrassing presentation, a senior lab member pulled me aside and said, “You are not here because of your English. You are here because you can think.” His words gave me the strength to continue. I began recording every class and replaying the discussions at night. Slowly, my English improved, and I grew more confident in expressing my ideas.
Years later, after training in Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States, I returned to my hometown to run my own lab. My students all spoke Mandarin, and I assumed they wouldn’t struggle as much as I had because they didn’t face the same language barrier. But I soon realized they too battled doubts about their careers and abilities. I realized my job was to teach them to think critically and solve problems creatively, just as I had been taught. When I saw a student struggling with an experiment, I told her, “You are not here because your experiments always work. You are here because you can think.” Her smile told me she was encouraged by these words.
Today, what I value most in my job is the transformation I see in the students who arrive uncertain, but who leave with enough confidence to challenge me, their professor. For me, helping others cross the bridge is the true reward of scientific life.
8.Why did the author almost quit her Ph. D.according to paragraph 1?
A.She disliked lab discussions. B.She lacked future plans in science.

Killer whales in the coastal waters off Washington have been seen massaging each other by rubbing pieces of kelp (海带) between their bodies. Researchers filmed the animals selecting and biting off the kelp into long, thin pieces, then placing one piece onto the back of another whale. The scientists think this might have a health or cleanliness function, but they also believe they are a form of social bonding. The findings appear to be an example of tool use in whales, with the animals fashioning a piece of kelp and using it for a planned purpose.
During 12 days of studying a population of killer whales, the team recorded 30 times of kelp massage. “We see it multiple times per day,” said lead researcher Dr Weiss. This could be a marine version of behaviour seen in monkeys, where animals spend hours picking through fur, cleaning and removing harmful insects. Physical touch in animals is important for building and maintaining social relationships, and killer whales are highly social animals.
The view from the air has provided new insight into underwater behaviour, including how the animals interact. High-quality video showed that whales with rougher skin were more likely to engage in the behaviour, suggesting it may help with skin health. It is not yet clear whether this behaviour is unique to this group or more widespread among other whale populations. However, scientists say the discovery is exciting, as these objects were being used in a way never before reported in marine mammals.
The study of this threatened killer whale population was started by Dr Balcomb more than 50 years ago. Initially, he wanted to examine the threats to their survival, particularly as the population was targeted for capture and sale to some marine parks. Long-term research on this population has revealed many insights into their social structure, and this new finding highlights the complexity of their society and the importance of protecting them.
12.What are the killer whales observed doing in paragraph 1?
A.Using kelp to feed each other.
B.Shaping kelp to rub another whale.
C.Collecting kelp from the ocean floor.
D.Teaching young whales to clean with kelp.
13.What can be inferred about killer whales in comparison with monkeys?
A.They use tools more often. B.They rely less on interaction.
C.They are physically far stronger. D.They show similar social behaviours.
14.Why do scientists consider the discovery exciting?
A.It provides clear video evidence.
B.It suggests rubbing is common among whales.
C.It is the first report of such tool use in marine mammals.
D.It explains why whales with skin problems behave this way.
15.Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.Killer Whales Use Tools for Social Purposes
B.The Role of Food in Whales’ Communication
C.A Behaviour Observed in Killer Whales Hunting
D.How Killer Whales Adapt to Changes in the Ocean

(2026届山东济南市高三第二次模拟)
On a snowy morning in Stockholm, the Candela C-8 looks like a standard speedboat. Once it picks up speed, something extraordinary happens: the hull (船体) lifts entirely out of the water, “flying” half a meter above the surface. This is the new generation of electric hydrofoils (水翼船).
They are ideal for urban transport, says Gustav Hasselskog, the founder of Candela technology company. They are quiet, emission-free and cheap to run — the C-8’s cost per mile is about 5% of that of a traditional speedboat. In many cities, to reduce the disturbance caused by large waves, boats are usually speed-limited. Hydrofoils, however, cause almost no wake and thus travel faster. Hasselskog believes they could reshape urban transport by shifting traffic from blocked roads to underused waterways, which he terms “blue highways”.
The Candela C-8 is supported by three thin, red struts (支柱), which are linked to two underwater wings that turn forward motion into lift. By lifting the hull out of the water, the boat reduces drag by as much as 80 percent, saving a huge amount of energy. Sensors around the boat measure waves and control systems adjust the wings 100 times a second, providing such a solid, smooth ride that the boat feels as though it is on rails.
The power needed to drive a hydrofoil varies directly with its mass, so minimizing a hull’s overall weight is also of importance. The wings must be small enough to reduce drag and strong enough to bear the boat’s weight. The solution is to borrow from aerospace and motor racing, and use carbon fiber. As for motors, Candela now has a partnership with makers of electric vehicles, allowing electric boats to use standard fast-chargers designed for cars.
The potential impact is significant with nearly half of the world’s population living in coastal regions where cities are often stuck in traffic. While large traditional public boats will still be needed for heavy routes, on short passenger-only routes in cities, electric hydrofoils may be about to take off.
16.What does Gustav Hasselskog expect the Candela C-8 to do?
A.Boost coastal tourism. B.Remodel urban traffic.
C.Lower travel expenses. D.Promote road building.
17.Which part of the Candela C-8 plays a vital role in its high energy efficiency?
A.Its type of drive. B.Its power source.
C.Its control systems. D.Its underwater wings.
18.What does the author think of the large traditional public boats?
A.They are out of date. B.They show huge potential.
C.They are irreplaceable. D.They need to be improved.
19.What can be a suitable title for the text?

This weekend I had the pleasure of seeing the Latvian animated film Flow in the theater. I’d never heard of it, but all of the other options were sequels (续集) or Christmas movies. Flow had a great trailer (预告片), excellent reviews, and won many awards. I was sold.
It is about the adventures of a black cat, a yellow dog, and several other animals that band together to survive a catastrophic flood. There are no people in the film. In fact, there is no dialogue at all in the hour and a half.
You would think that a movie without any human characters or dialogue would be boring. Well, Flow is anything BUT. On the contrary, I was often on the edge of my seat, terrified for the danger these little guys faced. They’re constantly escaping enemies and rising water. Eventually, our black cat finds himself in a new land. At the start of the movie he is alone, but by the end he is surrounded by new friends.
What, if anything, does this movie “mean”? Clearly, one of the basic themes is unity — different species that initially don’t get along eventually learn to help each other survive. But I think the fact that humans are completely absent seems intentional. The animals pass through run-down, abandoned towns, implying that humanity may have been wiped out by a disaster. Combined with the flood, this suggests a metaphor about climate change and sea level rise. The movie’s metaphors are subtle: water is an ever-present symbol in the film, and it is constantly flowing forward, pushing the action and our characters. With the title literally named FLOW, temporariness seems to be the main message: things constantly changing, the world moves on. We often can’t control storms of life. What we can control are our own actions. You can choose to fight the current or go with it and make the best of what you find down river.
Or it could mean something else completely different to you! Like the best poems, this movie is open to multiple interpretations.
23.What initially motivated the author to watch the film Flow?
A.Recommendations from strangers. B.Curiosity about an unknown movie.
C.Its positive reception and many awards. D.Its unique theme concerning animals.
24.Which of the following is a distinctive feature of Flow?
A.It contains no spoken dialogue. B.It involves more than human characters.
C.It is a short animation within 90 minutes. D.It is primarily a Christmas-themed story.
25.In the author’s opinion, what does humans’ absence from the film imply?
A.The difficulty of survival. B.The loss of humanity.
C.The unpredictability of life. D.The unity of diverse species.
26.Where is the text probably from?
A.A textbook on animation. B.An eco-tour journal.
C.An entertainment website. D.An editorial on global warming.

(2025-2026学年湖南长沙市下学期名校联盟4月二模)
Scientists have known that sperm whales communicate through patterns of clicks known as codas. These sounds are not random. Instead, they form complex sequences that whales use when interacting with members of their family groups. Yet the real meaning of these signals has long remained a mystery. Hidden within the ocean’s depths is a communication system far more complicated than researchers once imagined. Many experts believe that such a system may even include something similar to a basic language, but no one has been able to fully figure it out so far.
To solve this long-standing puzzle, scientists have turned to AI for help. By feeding thousands of whale recordings into advanced computer models, scientists have begun to detect patterns that human ears alone could never recognize. Similar to the way large language models learn patterns in human speech, AI systems can analyze enormous collections of whale codas and identify repeating structures within them. In early experiments, these systems were able to predict the type of coda and even identify which whale produced it with remarkable accuracy.
Inspired by these results, researchers launched Project CETI (Cetacean Translation Initiative), an international collaboration bringing together marine biologists, linguists, engineers and computer scientists to interpret the communication system of sperm whales. By combining underwater recording devices with powerful AI models, the team hopes to map the hidden structure of whale sounds and eventually understand how whales exchange information.
If successful, the project could transform how humans understand animal intelligence. Not only might it reveal that whales possess a complicated communication system, but it could also show that language-like structures exist far beyond the human world. In this sense, AI may become more than a technological tool. Properly used, it could help humans listen, perhaps for the first time, to the voices of another species.
27.What can we learn about sperm whales’ codas from paragraph 1?
A.They can only be heard in the deep ocean.
B.They are simple signals for daily communication.
C.They carry meanings that are waiting to be explained.
D.They differ greatly from other sea animals’ sound patterns.
28.What does paragraph 2 mainly focus on?
A.The importance of large language models.
B.The process of collecting whale recordings.
C.The role AI plays in studying whale codas.
D.The achievements in whale protection research.
29.What does the author say about Project CETI?
A.It has solved the mystery of animal intelligence.
B.It aims to make whale research a separate discipline.
C.It helps develop advanced underwater recording devices.
D.It may improve human understanding of animal language.
30.Which of the following is the best title for the text?

典例1【2025 浙江1月B】
When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact.
According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.”
Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.
Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.”
I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”
24. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?
A. She is upset by her kids’ weight. B. She is critical of the way she was fed.
C. She is interested in making food. D. She is particular about what she eats.
25. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of?
A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.
C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.
26. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”?
A. Make diet decisions on their own. B. Share their food with other kids.
C. Eat up what is provided for them. D. Help their parents do the dishes.
27. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following?
A. Costly. B. Complex. C. Workable. D. Contradictory.

Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume--even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.
句意为:相反,她建议采用营养学专家们熟知的一个概念,即“责任分工”。在这种模式下,家长定时为孩子提供多种健康食物,由孩子自己决定吃什么以及吃多少--即便这意味着孩子偶尔吃的饼干会比胡萝卜多。called the “Division of Responsibility”是动词-ed形式作后置定语,修饰concept, where引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词“Division of Responsibility”,其中decide后连接一个宾语从句,even if引导让步状语从句。
24. B 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,作者小时候经常被说“不想长胖就别吃这个”,这严重影响了其与食物的关系,花了多年才克服。由此可推断,作者对自己小时候被喂养的方式持批判态度。
25. C推理判断题。通过关键词Markey定位到文中第二段,Markey认为父母在育儿过程中有很多话题可以讨论,但是食物方面应少说,故选C。
26. A 事实细节题。根据第三段内容中对“责任分工”的解释可知,父母可以在固定时间为孩子提供多种健康食物,孩子自己决定吃什么和吃多少,即孩子自主做出饮食决定。
27. C 推理判断题。在最后一段中提到作者一直在尝试这些策略,并发现当自已限制少一些时,孩子们确实能做出更好的决定,说明作者认为这些策略是有效的。

典例2【2025新高考II卷 C】
When Sonja Detrinidad opened her online shop selling houseplants, she didn’t have high hopes for it. But the opposite happened: She was flooded, shipping out 1,200 orders in June of 2020 alone. In the past year, Detrinidad sent out more than 70,000 plants. Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashion right now,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher from the University of Florida. “People who live in plant-rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating, ” she says. “Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think.” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol, the stress hormone (激素) in our body.
“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants,” says Knuth. “This productivity also translates into the workplace for adults. Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant-rich workplaces.”
If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants, don’t beat yourself up if one (or a few!) doesn’t make it. “Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant. Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care of it, but if it dies, go get another one,” Detrinidad says.
8. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
A. It faced tough competition. B. It suffered a great loss.
C. It got lots of financial support. D. It went surprisingly well.
9. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants?
A. They appeal more to students. B. They purify the environment.
C. They raise the cortisol level. D. They enhance productivity.
10. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers?
A. The necessity of social skills. B. The meaning of sustainability.
C. The importance of repeated efforts. D. The value of professional opinions.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Time to Replace Houseplants B. Plants Boost Your Mood
C. Tips on Choosing Houseplants D. Plants Brighten Your Home

28. D 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,一开始 Detrinidad对她的线上绿植生意并不抱太大期望,但结果却出人意料,从food, ship out, send out和success以及第二句和第三句中的订单数量,都说明她的生意出乎意料地好。
29. D推理判断题。第二段中研究人员Dr. Melinda Knuth认为绿植可以提高满足感、改善情绪等;第三段具体举例说明,在有绿植的环境中学习或工作效率都会更高,这一切都说明绿植能提高效率。
30. C推理判断题。根据最后一段Detrinidad所说的话可知,她认为养护绿植需要耐心和学习,需要投入其中,失败了就再来一次。就好比律师和医生并非天生精通技能,而是通过不断练习提升专业能力的,所以养护绿植也需要反复尝试、不懈努力。
31. B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,Detrinidad室内绿植生意的火爆说明了人们对绿植的喜爱和需求,同时研究表明绿植可以改善情绪、减压、提升效率等。由此可见,这篇文章主要介绍了绿植对情绪的积极影响。

典例3【2025浙江1月D】
As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
32. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand.
C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition.
33. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey.
C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test.
34. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task.
C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product.
C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women.

Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles--a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
句意为:同样,拟人化的产品可以被设计成与刻板印象不一致的角色--例如,协助护理的男性机器人,或帮助进行计算的女性机器人。本句主句是anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles;破折号后面部分是stereotype-inconsistent roles的同位语,其中包含两个定语从句,分别是that assists with nursing,修饰先行词a male robot,以及that helps to calculations,修饰先行词a female robot。
32. A 事实细节题。根据第一段中的People are stereotyping their gendered objects in very traditional ways ...和Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this.可知,人们以传统方式对有性别特征的物品形成刻板印象,而解决这一问题的简单方法就是将性别元素从新技术中去除,所以让新技术无性别化的目的是减少刻板印象,故A项正确。
33. B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.”可知,Martin要求参与者对数字语音助手和名为“Miuu”的自动驾驶汽车的男性、女性及不区分性别的版本的依恋程度进行评级,由此可推测,这项研究采用了调查法,参与者需要对相关的调查内容作出回应,故B项符合文意。
34. D 推理判断题。从第四段中的Martin's study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object's name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it they would assume Miuu was a "he" or "she."可知,即便物品名字听起来没有性别区分,人们还是会给它赋予性别,这表明性别观念在人们的思维中根深蒂固,所以很难创造出无性别物品,故D项正确。
35. B 主旨大意题。根据最后一段首句Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism "provides an opportunity to change stereotypes."可知,Martin看到给产品赋予性别有积极的一面,随后举例说明,故B项正确。

典例4【2024 新高考I卷C】
Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper? And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material? The answers to both questions are often “no.” The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including reduced concentration, an entertainment mindset(心态) and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content.
When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it’s on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding. The benefits of print reading particularly shine through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks – like identifying the main idea in a reading passage – to ones that require mental abstraction – such as drawing inferences from a text.
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper’s physical properties. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.
But equally important is the mental aspect. Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis(假说).” According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print.
Audio(音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies – say, assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person. However, psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories, they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces.
Digital texts, audio and video all have educational roles, especially when providing resources not available in print. However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn’t assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.
28. What does the underlined phrase “shine through” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Seem unlikely to last. B. Seem hard to explain.
C. Become ready to use. D. Become easy to notice.
29. What does the shallowing hypothesis assume?
A. Readers treat digital texts lightly.
B. Digital texts are simpler to understand.
C. People select digital texts randomly.
D. Digital texts are suitable for social media.
30. Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers?
A. They can hold students’ attention.
B. They are more convenient to prepare.
C. They help develop advanced skills.
D. They are more informative than text.
31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Students should apply multiple learning techniques.
B. Teachers should produce their own teaching material.
C. Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education.
D. Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored.

②纸质阅读优势研究:多项研究表明,纸质阅读在理解和记忆方面具有优势。例如,挪威斯塔万格大学的研究发现,阅读纸质书的学生在阅读理解测试中的表现比阅读电子书的学生更好。这可能是因为纸质书能提供更直观的空间线索,帮助读者更好地构建知识框架。 ③多任务处理对学习的影响:在数字环境中,人们更容易进行多任务处理,如一边阅读一边查看社交媒体或回复消息。美国密歇根大学的研究指出,多任务处理会分散注意力,降低学习效率,影响对知识的理解和掌握。
④音频和视频学习的应用:在教育领域,音频和视频学习资源越来越受到重视。许多在线教育平台提供丰富的视频课程和音频资料,方便学生随时随地学习。然而,研究也发现,虽然音频和视频能增加学习的趣味性,但在知识的深度理解和记忆方面,可能不如阅读文本有效。

句意:当实验者从布置简单任务(比如找出阅读文章的主旨)转向需要进行抽象思维的任务(比如从文本中推断结论)时,纸质阅读的优势就尤为明显。
分析:本句是复合句。The benefits of print reading是主语,shine through是谓语;when experimenters move from posing simple tasks to ones...是时间状语从句,其中破折号内的内容是对simple tasks和ones的举例说明;that require mental abstraction是定语从句,修饰ones。
2. According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print. 句意:根据这一理论,人们以一种适合社交媒体的心态去阅读电子文本,而社交媒体的内容往往不太严肃,并且与阅读纸质文本相比,人们在阅读电子文本时投入的脑力更少。
分析:本句是复合句。According to this theory是状语,people是主语,有两个并列的谓语动词approach和devote;with a mindset suited to social media是伴随状语,其中suited to social media是后置定语,修饰mindset;which are often not so serious是定语从句,修饰social media;than when they are reading print是比较状语从句。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,作者介绍了纸质阅读与数字阅读(可视化学习)在理解和记忆方面的优劣,强调纸质阅读对于深度学习和记忆的重要性。
28. D 词义猜测题。根据第二段前两句When reading texts of several hundred words or more, learning is generally more successful when it's on paper than onscreen. A large amount of research confirms this finding.可知,在阅读几百字的文本时,纸质阅读比屏幕阅读的学习效果更好。根据画线词所在句可知,当实验人员把任务从易(比如找到阅读文章的主旨)到难(需要抽象思维,比如从文本中推断出结论)推进时,纸质阅读的优势尤为明显,也就是变得容易被人注意到(become easy to notice),故选D。
29. A 推理判断题。第四段最后一句According to this theory, people ... than when they are reading print.是对shallowing hypothesis(浅层阅读假说)的解释说明。人们对待数字文本的态度与对待社交媒体的态度相当,社交媒体通常不那么严肃,相比纸质阅读,人们投入的脑力要少,也就是读者对数字文本持不严肃、轻松的态度。treat sth lightly意为“轻松地对待某事”,故选A。
30. A 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句Audio(音频) and video can feel more engaging than text, and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies...可知,大学教师越来越多地使用音频和视频,是因为它们比文本更有吸引力,也就是能够保持学生的注意力,hold students’ attention是engaging的同义替换,故选A。
31. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句However, for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for, educators shouldn't assume all media are the same, even when they contain identical words.可知,教育工作者不应该认为所有媒介的效果是一样的。此外,本文主要介绍了纸质阅读在学习效果方面相较于数字阅读的优势,暗示了纸质文本在教育领域中的不可替代性,故选C。

Like other cities in New Jersey’s Rust Belt (铁锈地带), Paterson has fallen on hard times, with its once-famous textile (纺织品) industry in disrepair and its schools abandoned.
Strickland, an expert in school design and instructor at MIT in Boston, had been hired as a consultant to help Paterson find sites for new schools. The architect hatched a grand plan to help revitalize (复兴) Paterson’s schools and the city itself.
Six career academies are holding classes at old sites. These small changes have not gone unnoticed. The city, as the residents expected, has the potential to shine.
A nearly unoccupied three-story shopping mall houses two schools, one focused on medical careers, the other on media arts and urban planning. English and math teachers for the two schools lead classes in storefronts that were empty just a year ago. Across town, under the thick wooden beams (横梁) of an old textile factory and a train engine plant, students with disabilities will learn about careers with the region’s transportation systems.
Strickland requires his graduate students at MIT to help Paterson construct models for new building projects in the city. Jane Riesman, one of Strickland’s students, has been working with her kids on an educational park that would replace a wasteland of lifeless asphalt (沥青) and grass that stretches between two downtown schools. The surrounding neighborhood is hardly inspiring; pulling-down of a high-rise housing project is underway, showering dust everywhere. But Riesman’s students envision a very different place. One of the student models includes a swimming pool, skating court, climbing wall, sandbox, and a pond with a fountain and lots of trees. “It’s fun, and it makes us feel like we’re in charge and helping the community,” says 15-year-old Marilyn Medina, one of the model’s creators.
Strickland says it’s important for the students to dream. “They’re setting a tone for the town,” he says. “The kids can push the envelope and change the culture.”
1. What was Paterson like in the past according to Paragraph 1?
A. It fell into severe disrepair.
B. It rarely produced any iron.
C. Its textile industry was well-known.
D. Its schools were completely deserted.
2. What was the residents’ attitude towards Strickland’s plan?
A. Opposed. B. Favorable.
C. Dismissive. D. Uncaring.
3. What can we infer about Riesman’s students?
A. Diligent and innocent. B. Funny and responsible.
C. Honest and trustworthy. D. Imaginative and helpful.
4. What does the text focus on?
A. Transforming old buildings to shine.
B. Revitalizing the city’s shopping mall.
C. Developing students’ logical thinking.
D. Witnessing the rise and fall of Paterson.

International sportswear giants have long competed to place their high-tech running shoes on the feet of elite (精英) athletes. Now, they eye a fresh opportunity: targeting the extended hours when runners shift from gear designed for speed to footwear made for comfort.
Companies that once focused only on fashion or outdoor recreation are rushing into the so-called “recovery footwear” market. “After a long run or intense workout, there’s a moment when you just want your feet to breathe,” explains Sam Poser, a senior industry analyst. “This isn’t a new trend, but what’s different now is the scale.”
Traditionally, post-run shoes have been a specialized product. However, leading brands are now making a concerted effort to carve out a mainstream market. A recent survey suggests over 50% of U.S. consumers are interested in recovery footwear, not just to comfort the tired feet post-exercise but also to suit everyday casual wear. Many office workers have also joined runners as key customers, seeking relief from standing all day in rigid shoes.
The trend is led by Oofos, a brand that initially sought to design a shoe to propel (推动, 驱动) wearers faster and higher. Instead, the patent foam they developed had the opposite effect; it absorbed energy like a soft cushion, rather than delivering a springy bounce. Recognizing the potential, Oofos turned to focus exclusively on recovery, creating shoes that reduce impact and ease pressure on the body.
In contrast, Birkenstock takes a different approach. While Oofos emphasizes soft, shock-absorbent foam, Birkenstock prioritizes firm support. “Tired feet need stability, not just softness,” the brand argues. Its iconic soles, typically crafted from cork, provide the rigid structure that many adults seek after a long day on their feet.
According to Jeff Henderson, a franchise owner of four Fleet Feet stores in Ohio, the sector has rapidly transformed into big business. “Oofos is among the fastest-growing brands this decade,” he says. “And while Birkenstock is chipping away at its market share, the recovery category as a whole has really taken off.”
5. What differs the current recovery footwear market from the traditional one?
A. Involving international sportswear giants.
B. Boosting athletic performance via targeted design.
C. Focusing on outdoor recreation rather than sports.
D. Building a mainstream market through large-scale joint efforts.
6. What can we learn about recovery footwear from the passage?
A. Popularity among ordinary office workers.
B. Design of springy bounce for daily activities.
C. Exclusivity for professional runners after intense training.
D. Similarity in materials and design concepts across brands.
7. Why did Oofos change its direction to focus on recovery footwear?
A. Purpose of meeting casual wear demand.
B. Failure to improve athletic performance.
C. Reduction of foam material for shoes.
D. Desire for high-end market competition.
8. What can be inferred from Jeff Henderson’s words?
A. The recovery footwear industry is booming.
B. Oofos will surely become the top-selling brand.
C. Birkenstock has taken most of Oofos’ market share.
D. Fleet Feet profits mainly from selling running shoes.

【语篇导读】文章主要介绍了运动恢复鞋市场的兴起与发展。文章指出,传统上跑后恢复鞋属于小众专业产品,但如今各大品牌正合力将其推向主流市场;Oofos和Birkenstock等品牌以不同技术路线进入该领域,同时办公室职员等非跑步人群也成为重要消费群体,整个恢复鞋行业正迅速壮大。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段“Traditionally, post-run shoes have been a specialized product. However, leading brands are now making a concerted effort to carve out a mainstream market. (传统上,跑后鞋是一种专业产品。然而,领先品牌现在正在齐心协力开拓主流市场。)”可知,如今的恢复鞋市场与传统市场的不同之处在于,各大品牌正通过大规模共同努力将其打造成主流市场。
6.细节理解题。根据第三段“Many office workers have also joined runners as key customers, seeking relief from standing all day in rigid shoes. (许多办公室职员也加入跑步者的行列,成为主要顾客,寻求从整天穿着僵硬鞋子站立中得到缓解。)”可知,恢复鞋在普通办公室职员中也很受欢迎。
7.细节理解题。根据第四段“The trend is led by Oofos, a brand that initially sought to design a shoe to propel (推动, 驱动) wearers faster and higher. Instead, the patent foam they developed had the opposite effect; it absorbed energy like a soft cushion, rather than delivering a springy bounce. Recognizing the potential, Oofos turned to focus exclusively on recovery, creating shoes that reduce impact and ease pressure on the body. (这一趋势由Oofos品牌引领。该品牌最初旨在设计一款能帮助穿着者跑得更快、跳得更高的鞋子。然而,他们研发的专利泡沫却产生了相反的效果;这种泡沫像柔软的垫子一样吸收能量,而不是提供弹性的跳跃感。意识到其中的潜力后,Oofos转而专注于恢复功能,设计出能够减少冲击并减轻身体压力的鞋子。)”可知,Oofos原本想提升运动表现,但专利泡沫未能实现这一目标,反而适合恢复场景,因此转向恢复鞋领域。
8.推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to Jeff Henderson, a franchise owner of four Fleet Feet stores in Ohio, the sector has rapidly transformed into big business. “Oofos is among the fastest-growing brands this decade,” he says. “And while Birkenstock is chipping away at its market share, the recovery category as a whole has really taken off.” (据俄亥俄州四家Fleet Feet门店的连锁店老板杰夫·亨德森称,该行业已迅速发展成为一项大产业。“Oofos是这十年中增长最快的品牌之一,”他说道,“而Birkenstock则正在蚕食其市场份额,但整个康复类产品的市场却确实取得了显著的增长。”)”可推知,恢复鞋行业正在蓬勃发展。

Topiary, the practice of training plants into defined shapes, might remind people of scenes from Alice in Wonderland. Michael Gibson believes its lessons go beyond the aesthetic (审美). “Topiary teaches patience. After trimming (修剪), you have to wait for new growth,” he explained. “It can also reduce anxiety and improve focus.” In other words, it benefits both plants and humans.
To that end, Gibson uses his training in therapeutic horticulture (疗愈园艺) to serve communities. He is known for his distinctive style, based on what he calls the “Gibson method,” which has five elements: storytelling; geometry for balance and harmony; a special tree-trimming technique that shapes trees; visual effects for striking appearances; and directional trimming, which smooths the surface like brushing hair.
Depending on the plant variety and location, a single tree can take 5 to 10 hours to complete, while larger projects may take 20 to 30 hours and need to be maintained two or three times a year. At home in South Carolina, he retrims his topiaries every six to eight weeks, and a design can take years to fully develop.
Gibson started developing his signature method early in life. His mother, a beautician, taught him to cut hair, and his artist father introduced him to the fundamentals of art — geometric shapes, proportional faces, and 3D images. After years of practice in the yard, he turned topiary into a side job while doing other work. Gradually, clients and neighbors noticed his vision, and by 2021 he transformed it into a full-time career, focusing on and continuing to refine his topiary art.
Gibson is now creating a therapeutic sensory garden. He hopes it will be a place both children and adults keep returning to, while teaching them lessons in horticulture they can apply in everyday life. “When we’re throwing away dead wood and branches we don’t need anymore, think of those as bad habits,” he said. “You need to cut off the bad habits so they don’t affect your design later. That’s a life lesson.”
9. Which aspect of topiary does Gibson stress in paragraph 1?
A. Its aesthetic value. B. Its psychological benefits.
C. Its traditional methods. D. Its commercial potential.
10. Which of the following best describes the Gibson method?
A. Tech-driven. B. Time-efficient. C. Straightforward. D. Multidimensional.
11. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The impact of family education. B. Gibson’s path to his craft.
C. The challenge of topiary career. D. The popularity of topiary art.
12. What is the life lesson from horticulture according to Gibson?
A. Life is a journey of rises and falls.
B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
C. Removing what holds us back helps us grow.
D. What doesn’t defeat you makes you stronger.

【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了迈克尔·吉布森(Michael Gibson)的树木整形艺术,讲述了他的从业经历,并阐释造型园艺兼具疗愈作用与人生启示。
9.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Michael Gibson believes its lessons go beyond the aesthetic (审美). “Topiary teaches patience. After trimming (修剪), you have to wait for new growth,” he explained. “It can also reduce anxiety and improve focus.” In other words, it benefits both plants and humans.(迈克尔·吉布森认为,它的意义不仅仅在于审美。‘整形树木教会人们耐心。修剪后,你必须等待新的生长,’他解释道。‘它还可以减少焦虑,提高注意力。’换句话说,它对植物和人类都有益。)”可知,吉布森在第一段强调了整形树木对人的心理益处。
10.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“He is known for his distinctive style, based on what he calls the “Gibson method,” which has five elements: storytelling; geometry for balance and harmony; a special tree-trimming technique that shapes trees; visual effects for striking appearances; and directional trimming, which smooths the surface like brushing hair.(他以其独特的风格而闻名,这种风格基于他所谓的‘吉布森方法’,该方法有五个要素:讲故事;用于平衡与和谐的几何学;一种塑造树木的特殊修剪技术;视觉效果,打造引人注目的外观;以及定向修剪,使表面像梳头一样光滑。)”可知,“吉布森方法”涉及多个方面,包括讲故事、几何学、修剪技术、视觉效果和定向修剪,因此它是多维度的。
11.主旨大意题。根据第四段“Gibson started developing his signature method early in life. His mother, a beautician, taught him to cut hair, and his artist father introduced him to the fundamentals of art — geometric shapes, proportional faces, and 3D images. After years of practice in the yard, he turned topiary into a side job while doing other work.

12.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘When we’re throwing away dead wood and branches we don’t need anymore, think of those as bad habits,’ he said. ‘You need to cut off the bad habits so they don’t affect your design later. That’s a life lesson.’(‘当我们扔掉不再需要的枯木和树枝时,就把它们当作坏习惯吧,’他说。‘你需要改掉坏习惯,这样它们以后才不会影响你的设计。这是一个人生教训。’)”可知,吉布森认为,就像修剪掉不需要的枯木和树枝一样,我们需要改掉坏习惯,这样它们才不会影响我们未来的发展。因此,根据吉布森的观点,园艺给我们的人生教训是去除阻碍我们成长的东西有助于我们成长。

For his 80th birthday, my grandfather, a man who had fixed everything with his large hands, received a tablet from my cousin. We gathered around, expecting him to be pleased. Instead, he held the device as if it were a foreign object, his thumb hovering awkwardly over the screen. He gave a polite smile that didn’t reach his eyes, and then set it aside.
Later that day, I found him in his workshop — his true kingdom, filled with the smell of wood and oil. The tablet was lying untouched on a shelf, gathering dust next to jars of nails. “It’s too... clean,” he explained to me. “There’s no weight to it, no resistance. How can you truly fix something you can’t feel?”
Then, one Saturday morning, he announced he was clearing out the garage. But what emerged from the garage was not bags of trash, but a parade of neighborhood kids, each carrying a bicycle with a problem: a loose chain, a wobbling wheel, a stubborn brake.
Grandpa had placed a small sign at the end of the driveway: “Doc’s Bike Shop — Payment by Story.” And so the driveway became his new workshop. He traded his expertise not for money, but for tales of school adventures and summer dreams. His rough, worn hands, once hesitant around a tablet, were sure and steady as they spun a wheel or tightened a bolt. The laughter of children and the ringing of bicycle bells replaced the previous silence of the community.
He didn’t need to enter their digital world; he created a real one in his own driveway. He wasn’t rejecting the new; he was simply reminding us that some connections can’t be downloaded. They have to be built, piece by piece, with the touch of a hand.
13. What can be inferred about the grandfather’s response to the tablet?
A. He hated to learn new technology.
B. He accepted it politely, though uninterested.
C. He considered it a waste of money and time.
D. He disliked the products made in foreign countries.
14. Why does the author mention the tablet gathering dust?
A. To imply the tablet was out of date.
B. To showcase grandfather’s attitude to the gift.
C. To highlight grandpa’s passion for his hobby.
D. To introduce the workshop’s messy condition.
15. What does the underlined word “wobbling” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Running steadily. B. Shining like a star.
C. Singing softly. D. Moving from side to side.
16. What did the grandfather achieve by starting the service in the driveway?
A. He proved his capability and productivity.
B. He demonstrated the complexity of craftsmanship.
C. He successfully earned himself money and fame.
D. He found a way to connect with younger generation.

13.推理判断题。根据第一段“He gave a polite smile that didn't reach his eyes, and then set it aside.(他礼貌地笑了笑,但眼神中并无笑意,然后把平板电脑放在了一边)”以及第二段““It's too... clean,” he explained to me. “There's no weight to it, no resistance. How can you truly fix something you can't feel?”(“它太……干净了,” 他向我解释道。“它没有重量,没有阻力。你怎么能真正修理你感觉不到的东西呢?”)”可知,祖父虽然礼貌地接受了平板电脑,但并不感兴趣。
14.推理判断题。根据第二段“Later that day, I found him in his workshop — his true kingdom, filled with the smell of wood and oil. The tablet was lying untouched on a shelf, gathering dust next to jars of nails. “It's too... clean,” he explained to me. “There's no weight to it, no resistance.

15.词句猜测题。根据前文“each carrying a bicycle with a problem(每个孩子都带着一辆有问题的自行车)”以及后文“a loose chain, a stubborn brake(松动的链条,难操作的刹车)”可知,“wobbling”描述的是轮子有问题,“wobbling wheel”指的是晃动的轮子,所以“wobbling”意思是“左右移动”。
16.推理判断题。根据最后一段“He didn't need to enter their digital world; he created a real one in his own driveway. He wasn't rejecting the new; he was simply reminding us that some connections can't be downloaded. They have to be built, piece by piece, with the touch of a hand.(他不需要进入他们的数字世界;他在自己的车道上创造了一个真实的世界。他并不是在拒绝新事物;他只是在提醒我们,有些联系是无法下载的。它们必须通过亲手一点点建立起来)”可知,祖父通过在车道上提供修理服务,找到了与年轻一代建立联系的方式。

When my children were little, they happily went along on our travels. But around age 10, my son made it clear: “I don’t really like to travel.” It broke my heart.
My daughter caught the travel bug early, but my son showed little enthusiasm — whether in Barcelona, the Louvre, or even a trip to see white whales. Still, I kept pushing. Before my daughter left for college, I proposed one last family trip. The rest of the family voted for Egypt. My son suggested we stay home. I bribed (贿赂) him with more screen time, and he agreed.
Egypt turned out to be the destination that clicked. At the Grand Egyptian Museum, my son — who usually speedwalked through museums — stopped. He read the information cards and stayed over artifacts. My husband and I kept quiet, afraid to break the spell. At the Temple of Karnak, he listened attentively as our guide explained its history. At the Valley of the Kings, he stood fascinated in Tutankhamun’s burial tomb, recalling what he’d learned in ninth grade. Watching our son discover that maybe travel wasn’t so bad after all, I suddenly realized what had been wrong all along.
I had been dragging him through my version of travel — the Mona Lisa, Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter — experiences viewed through my camera. But my son needed something to attract him, a tale he could follow and historical contexts he could connect with what he’d learned.
Our Egypt trip taught me that not all kids love travel the same way. My daughter gets great pleasure from aesthetic (审美的) experiences; my son needs a connection he can make. I’m glad I let go of my own travel dreams long enough to figure out what might fuel my children’s curiosity. Egypt worked for my son because it is consistent with who he is as a learner at this moment in his life. Maybe your unwilling traveller doesn’t hate travel — they’re just waiting for you to help them find their version of it.
17. What did the author do to persuade her son to join the Egypt trip?
A. She promised to buy him a gift.
B. She offered him extra screen time.
C. She let him choose the destination.
D. She told him about the white whales.
18. Why did the author and her husband keep quiet in the museum?
A. They were too surprised to speak.
B. They feared to interrupt their son.
C. They were busy in taking pictures.
D. They wanted to focus on the guide.
19. What do we know about the author’s son?
A. He was drawn to nature exploration.
B. He was fond of aesthetic experiences.
C. He enjoyed traveling without a set plan.
D. He was keen on trips linked to his learning.
20. What is the main lesson the author learned from the Egypt trip?

I bribed (贿赂) him with more screen time, and he agreed.( 在女儿去上大学之前,我提议了一次最后的家庭旅行。全家人都投票决定去埃及。我的儿子则建议我们待在家里。我用更多的屏幕时间来贿赂他,他这才同意。)”可知,作者用额外的屏幕时间作为条件,说服儿子参加埃及之旅。
18.细节理解题。根据第二段中“He read the information cards and stayed over artifacts. My husband and I kept quiet, afraid to break the spell. At the Temple of Karnak, he listened attentively as our guide explained its history.( 他阅读了信息卡片,还仔细研究了文物。我和我的丈夫保持沉默,生怕打破这份奇妙的氛围。在卡纳克神庙,他认真地听着我们的导游讲解其历史。)”可知,作者和丈夫保持安静是因为害怕打断儿子沉浸其中的状态。
19.推理判断题。根据第三段中“At the Valley of the Kings, he stood fascinated in Tutankhamun’s burial tomb, recalling what he’d learned in ninth grade.( 在帝王谷,他饶有兴趣地站在图坦卡蒙的陵墓前,回忆起他在九年级时学到的知识。)”提到儿子在图坦卡蒙墓中回忆九年级学过的知识,以及第四段中“But my son needed something to attract him, a tale he could follow and historical contexts he could connect with what he’d learned.( 但我的儿子需要一些能吸引他的东西,一个他能跟随的故事,以及一些能让他与所学内容建立联系的历史背景。)” 说明儿子需要“能与所学知识建立联系的历史背景”,和最后一段中“Egypt worked for my son because it is in consistent with who he is as a learner at this moment in his life.( 对我的儿子来说,埃及之旅很成功,因为它与他目前作为学习者所展现的特质相符。)”指出埃及之旅适合他是因为 “符合他当下作为学习者的特点”。由此可知,儿子热衷于与自己的学习相关的旅行。
20.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our Egypt trip taught me that not all kids love travel the same way. My daughter gets great pleasure from aesthetic (审美的) experiences; my son needs a connection he can make. I’m glad I let go of my own travel dreams long enough to figure out what might fuel my children’s curiosity.
