2026届高三英语各地模考或重点中学（联考）阅读专项训练二十一（C篇）

2026届高三英语各地模考或重点中学（联考）阅读专项训练二十一（C篇）及答案详解 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一.（2026·内蒙古呼和浩特·一模）Around Christmas, 50-year-old New Yorker Holly Jespersen felt unwell but hesitated to see a doctor. She turned to ChatGPT, which advised her against visiting. Days later, with a high fever and headaches, again using the chatbot to decide when, she finally went to urgent care and was diagnosed with influenza A． Holly is far from alone. According to OpenAI, over 40 million daily health-related enquiry, with 230 million weekly. In January, it announced ChatGPT Health, allowing users to upload medical records for customized (定制的) support. The company stresses it is meant to “support, not replace” medical care, not for diagnosis or treatment, but to help with everyday questions and pattern recognition. Yet concerns arise. Family physician Dr. Alexa Mieses Malchuk warns that ChatGPT, like WebMD, prioritizes being helpful over accurate. A 2023 study found ChatGPT’s cancer treatment plans contained many errors, some hard even for experts to detect. However, newer research on colon cancer showed its answers on symptoms and prevention were highly accurate, suggesting LLMs (大型语言模型) may assist patient education but not clinical decisions. Beyond accuracy, psychologists highlight anxiety risks. A 2013 study confirmed that online symptom searches can intensify health anxiety, especially for those intolerant of uncertainty. Clinical psychologist Elizabeth Sadock notes that ChatGPT, always available and affirming, fuels reassurance-seeking (寻求慰藉) behavior, trapping users in a cycle of anxiety. For some patients, limiting ChatGPT use may now be part of treatment. Privacy is another puzzle. Biomedical informatics professor Bradley Malin acknowledges OpenAI’s security efforts, but stresses ChatGPT Health falls outside HIPAA regulation. Patients may unknowingly lose legal protections when their data flows from secured medical records to an unregulated third party. Yet some see value. Dermatologist Kumar views ChatGPT Health as educational, clarifying terms like sunscreen types, not diagnostic. He distinguishes it from WebMD’s curated, reviewed content, while ChatGPT’s AI may mislead. Thus, ChatGPT Health enters America’s broken system as a double-edged sword: a round-the-clock assistant that may empower (赋权) patients, yet risks misinforming, over-reassuring, and exposing them to unregulated data practices. 1．Why does OpenAI launch ChatGPT Health? A．To replace medical care totally. B．To provide consultation timely. C．To treat the patients early. D．To diagnose diseases quickly. 2．What can we learn from paragraphs 3-5? A．ChatGPT may lead to more risks than benefits. B．ChatGPT is always available, helpful and accurate. C．Psychologists advise people not to use ChatGPT. D．People will have no privacy when using ChatGPT. 3．How does Kumar find ChatGPT? A．It teaches patients some medical terms. B．It can be used as an assistant to patients. C．It can help more patients cure diseases. D．It has more advantages than disadvantages. 4．What is the author’s attitude toward ChatGPT Health? A．Enthusiastic and supportive. B．Cautious and optimistic. C．Disapproving and negative. D．Critical and loyal. 二. （25-26高三下·湖北宜昌·月考）Psychologists have long believed willpower is the ticket to a good life. So parenting experts advocate teaching children to use willpower to resist modern temptations (诱惑). It is thought that you can build a child’s willpower the way athletes build up muscles, through practice. For example, exposing children to junk food more, they claim, helps them learn to resist it. However, this assumption has a fatal flaw: it doesn’t work for very long. In fact, trying to build up kids’ willpower can have the opposite effect. Humans are biologically programmed to prefer fatty and sweet foods, so regularly offering these temptations only strengthens children’s desire for them. Rather than teaching self-control, this approach actually makes resisting such foods more difficult. New studies observe what people do in real life to meet their long-term goals, and they reveal something surprising: the more successful people don’t have better willpower compared to those who are less successful. Instead, successful people expose themselves to fewer temptations so they don’t need to use willpower frequently. In essence, parents don’t need to teach kids how to say “no” to the marshmallow (棉花糖) sitting in front of them, but rather, how to avoid being in a room with marshmallows altogether. This principle applies beyond food. For example, parents can teach kids to leave their phone in another room when studying or to use apps that block distracting websites and games. Avoiding temptation is only half the strategy. The great thing is that parents can help kids fall in love with healthier alternatives. To shape their preferences, give your kids loads of opportunities to experience the pleasure of these healthy options. Besides, pay attention to how you talk about healthy foods and activities. Don’t present them as burdens, sacrifices, or punishments. Above all, whether it’s eating healthier food, doing physical exercise, or reading good books, if you make the experience more fun for your kids, then they are more likely to do it again. 5．What is a common practice to build up willpower? A．Staying away from junk food. B．Engaging in more athletic activities. C．Putting oneself in tempting situations. D．Exposing oneself to their inner desire. 6．What can we learn from the new studies? A．Willpower ensures lifelong success. B．Willpower drops with frequent use. C．Success requires long-term planning. D．Successful people avoid temptations. 7．What advice does the author give to parents in the last paragraph? A．Punish for giving in to desires. B．Reinforce willpower strategies. C．Make healthy experiences enjoyable. D．Offer more healthy options as rewards. 8．What is the best title for the text? A．Build Willpower, Form Good Habits B．Resist Temptation, Practice Self-Control C．Change Parenting, Strengthen Willpower D．Avoid Temptation, Love Healthier Choices 三. （2026·陕西西安·一模）Humans are among the few species that can recognize their reflections and learn from them. Children observe their bodies in mirrors, mentally note what they see, and form a “mental model” in 3D space, aiding the development of movement, coordination, and early language skills. This process is known as “self-simulation (自我模拟)”. Normally, roboticists train AI models powering robots in highly detailed and curated virtual simulations. It’s only after plentiful rounds of training are complete that a model is typically applied to a physical machine. But that process is limiting in multiple ways. For starters, advanced simulations can take a long time to perfect and often require extensive engineering expertise. They are also somewhat restrained (限制) in terms of adaptability. “Our goal is a robot that understands its own body, adapts to damage, and learns new skills without constant human programming,” lead author Yuhang Hu said. To do that, the researchers developed a new “self-supervised learning framework” consisting of three separate deep neural networks. A coordinate encoder (编码器) processes a raw video of the robot from a single camera. A kinematic (运动学的) encoder then turns this image, which highlights the robot’s joints and movement areas, into a binary image. Finally, a predictive model instructs the robot arm on how to move in the real world based on this data. The result is a robot that can continuously adjust its movements based on video data from a camera rather than relying on a virtual training simulation. The researchers also showed how the same model could help the robot adapt to damage. Researchers wanted to see how the robot would respond in a theoretical scenario where an overly heavy load bent its limb (肢体). To test this, they 3D-printed a damaged limb and attached it to the robot. After watching a video of itself with the new arm, the model was able to refine its predictions and adjust the robot’s movements to compensate for the simulated damage. The self-simulation method has mundane advantages — for example, a vacuum robot (扫地机器人) could use these techniques to adjust its movement after bumping into a wall. This means clumsy robots in messy homes might handle daily challenges better. 9．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The development of virtual simulations. B．The process of AI model creation. C．The challenges of robot adaptability. D．The limitations of traditional robot training. 10．What makes the new framework different from traditional methods? A．It enables real-time adaptation. B．It needs constant human input. C．It uses multiple physical sensors. D．It copies human brain signals. 11．How did the robot adapt to damage in the test? A．By applying 3D-printed new limbs. B．By analyzing a video of its own behavior. C．By following detailed human instructions. D．By reducing its own movement speed. 12．What does the underlined word “mundane” in the last paragraph mean? A．Futuristic. B．Ordinary. C．Theoretical. D．Complicated. 四. （2026·湖南长沙·三模）A wildfire burns in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb, moving quickly from dry brush toward a cluster of homes. The landscaping at the first house catches fire, but the house itself stubbornly refuses to burn. Any small flames that start along its walls quickly die out. Surprisingly, there is no water in sight. The flames are being put out by sound waves. This type of sound-based fire control may soon play a vital role in fighting wildfires. Understanding this requires knowing fire’s nature. The key ingredients for a fire are heat, fuel, and oxygen. Remove any one, and the fire stops. Sound waves can stop a fire by pushing oxygen molecules away from the fuel, preventing the fire from getting the air it needs to continue its burning reaction. Geoff Bruder, an engineer who previously researched energy at NASA, co-founded Sonic Fire Tech (Sonic for short) to build a machine for this purpose. He explains that the device vibrates the oxygen faster than the fuel can use it, which effectively blocks the chemical reaction. The company has successfully demonstrated fire control from distances up to 25 feet away. Using sound waves to fight fires isn’t a brand-new concept. US research agencies and universities have studied the method for over a decade. However, Albert Simeoni, a fire protection expert, points out the real challenge: scaling up the technology without creating damaging sound effects. Sonic solves this challenge by using infrasound (次声). Unlike previous efforts using 30 — 60 hertz waves, Sonic stays at or below 20 hertz. Therefore, these waves are inaudible (听不见的) to people and travel farther than higher-frequency waves. This technology is practical because homes often catch fire from embers entering roof openings. Sonic’s system uses a device powered by an electric motor to create sound waves, which travel through metal pipes installed on the roof and under its edges. The system activates automatically when sensors detect a flame, creating a kind of force field of infrasound to stop it. Experts note that sound waves generally work best on small flames. Nevertheless, homeowners and public-service companies are eager to try it. Sonic is working with two California companies to demonstrate its technology, and aims to have 50 pilot installations by early 2026. 13．How did the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A．By describing a scene. B．By listing numbers. C．By making a comparison. D．By introducing a concept. 14．What is the key to sound waves putting out a fire according to the text? A．Removing the burning material physically. B．Keeping oxygen away from the burning fuel. C．Reducing the surrounding temperature rapidly. D．Lowering the temperature of the flames directly. 15．What can be inferred about Sonic Fire Tech’s use of infrasound? A．It pioneers the use of sound to fight fires. B．It is designed to produce audible fire alarms. C．It significantly lowers the cost of firefighting. D．It fixes a key problem in earlier sound methods. 16．What is the main idea of the text? A．The growing threat of wildfires in the suburbs. B．An innovative sound technology for firefighting. C．The science behind putting out fires with sound. D．A comparison between sound and water for fire control. 五. （2026·浙江绍兴·二模）When spring arrives, keeping warm becomes less of an issue. However, scientists remind us it is not just a seasonal necessity — heat is also a valuable energy resource that can be stored. Researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) have discovered an innovative solution beneath our feet: using soil as an efficient thermal energy(热能) storage system. KTU professor Dr Tadas Ždankus and his team have been investigating how the ground can serve as a medium for heat storage. At the core of their research is a ground-based heat accumulator that would store left energy underground and make it available when demand peaks. Initially, the team explored how to use wind energy to produce heat via a hydraulic system (液压系统). They found that so-called hydraulic losses, typically seen as inefficiencies, were actually generating usable heat.However, part of heat was lost before reaching buildings. The question became how to not only decrease heat loss but also store it. To test this idea, the researchers conducted experiments using an artificial heat source placed in surface soil layers. They measured how heat spreads and persists in the ground. In one test, when the soil was heated to the boiling point, it caused a phase change (相变), in which liquid water becomes vapor.“Phase change can be an efficient way. We noticed a sharp temperature rise wherever the vapour flow reached. This means the energy is moving and can be controlled.” says Prof. Ždankus. Once the possibility of underground heat storage was confirmed, researchers began exploring its practical applications. They developed a pilot model ground energy cell to study how heat spread through soil. The year-long measurements revealed the soil beneath buildings could passively store heat, making use of the natural downward flow of heat from buildings into the ground. To put these ground-based storage systems into widespread use, researchers are now developing scaled-down pilot models and refining heat distribution control methods.“Our immediate goal is to integrate existing solutions into a system that can benefit both industry and residential sectors.” Ždankus concludes. 17．What is the main goal of the KTU research project? A．To reduce winter heating costs. B．To capture thermal energy from soil. C．To store underground heat for later use. D．To promote hydraulic system efficiency. 18．What can be inferred from paragraphs 3-4? A．Phase change makes heat control possible. B．Hydraulic losses can be avoided by heat transfer. C．Vapour flow contributes to big temperature drops. D．Heat production poses a great challenge to experts. 19．What are researchers doing for the practical use of the systems? A．Building large-scale industrial heating systems. B．Developing test models with improved control. C．Applying the technology to residential sectors. D．Reducing the energy consumption of buildings. 20．Which of the following would be the suitable title for the text? A．From Wind to Warmth: an Unexpected Path B．Future System: Uniting Industry and Home Heating C．A New Discovery: Turning Hydraulic Loss into Gain D．The Ground Beneath: A New Frontier in Heat Storage 六. （2026·四川宜宾·二模）Recently, the list for the 2026 Sloan Research Fellowships was announced in the United States.
