2026届高三英语各地模考或重点中学（联考）阅读专项训练二十二（D篇）及答案详解 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一.（2026·安徽马鞍山·二模）American kids ate very odd things in the 19th century. In historical documents of all kinds, from medical studies to diaries to school records, Americans described children as curious eaters who appreciated strong flavors and interesting textures (口感). A group of children in 1830s Boston spent their pocket money on raw oysters (牡蛎). The more I researched, the clearer it became that American children’s experiences with food in the past were full of pleasure. But today, appreciation of sharp and varied flavors can be hard to find among American kids. Many adults assume that pickiness is a hard-wired stage and that kids naturally dislike many foods. But mass childhood pickiness is a modern phenomenon created largely by junk food companies that promoted products like sugary cereals (谷物) as food specifically for children, convincing Americans that kids need different, easily likable foods. This created a culture of pickiness that is harming children’s health and taking away pleasures and flavors they enjoyed in the past — all while adding unnecessary anxiety to dinner tables across the country. Food companies like General Foods and Nestlé poured money into designing products in laboratories to target humans’ natural preferences and make their foods very hard to refuse. By the mid-20th century, thousands of their sweet, salty and crunchy (脆的) foods crowded grocery shelves, and many of them were marketed to children. One 1960 Kraft advertisement featured an otherwise “picky” girl who “never turns up that button nose at mild, golden Velveeta cheese!” Nowadays, many parents worry about their kids’ processed diets, increasing weight problems, and the stress of picky eating. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Parents can warmly encourage children to eat family foods and avoid offering alternatives. They can also fight against corporate marketing with their own enthusiastic messages about the foods they love to eat. 1．How did the American children in the 19th century differ from those at present? A．They were given less pocket money. B．They enjoyed more diverse flavors. C．They showed more interest in history. D．They had fewer conflicts with parents. 2．What does the author think of childhood pickiness? A．An unnecessary risk. B．A cultural phenomenon. C．An unavoidable stage. D．A product of education. 3．What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A．Food companies achieved big success. B．People tended to buy slightly processed foods. C．Food advertisements got less creative. D．People preferred sweet foods to salty ones. 4．In what way does the author try to relieve parents’ anxiety? A．By praising their efforts. B．By giving possible explanations. C．By defending their choices. D．By offering practical suggestions. 二. （2026·福建厦门·二模）Power bills are going up in America and people are angry. They know whom to blame — the bosses of technology firms thirsting for more juice to fuel artificial-intelligence data centres. However, the AI boom is not chiefly to blame for the rising costs. Electricity prices have risen faster than inflation (通货膨胀) in recent years (see chart). Data centres are indeed consuming more power than before and, as Goldman Sachs, a bank, holds, will account for nearly half of the overall demand growth in America in the coming years. Yet even business forecasts put data centres’ share of total demand at only a fifth in 2030. Today it is less than a tenth. A study conducted last year showed that data-centre load was not the main cause of the rate rises in the five years to 2024. It fingered grid (电网) upgrades and rising costs of power-generating equipment and raw materials. It is estimated that last year demand for distribution transformers outran supply by 10%. There are also long waiting lists for essential grid-related equipment. Many prices started going up in early 2021, nearly two years before the rapid growth AI. They are likely to keep rising for non-AI reasons. The Edison Electric Institute, which represents private-sector power companies, predicts its members’ total capital spending will reach $1.1trn between 2025 and 2029. More than half the sum for distribution and transmission infrastructure (基础设施) will go on replacing ageing equipment and hardening it against extreme weather made likelier by climate change. These factors have been ignored for years. Now AI provides an excuse to help win approval from regulators to pass the cost on to consumers. AI may even be lowering prices. The tech giants are already investing in their own capacity. Microsoft has signed a long-term deal to restart a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island to supply its data centres. Meta has backed a handful of nuclear startups. The World Resources Institute, another think-tank, notes that in North Dakota rising demand from oil and gas production, data-centre operators and food-processors led to large price reductions for local electricity users. Definitely, if Americans want lower electricity bills, they should be shouting for more AI, not less. 5．Why does the author mention public anger in paragraph 1? A．To highlight a social conflict. B．To criticize a current issue. C．To introduce a common belief. D．To oppose an energy policy. 6．What have mainly contributed to the rising electricity prices in paragraphs 3 & 4? A．AI Growth and data demand. B．Big Tech and market shares. C．Grid upgrades and facility costs. D．Climate change and capital spending. 7．How does the author develop the last paragraph? A．By making a contrast. B．By providing examples. C．By describing a study. D．By drawing conclusions. 8．Which can be a suitable title for the text? A．Hidden Costs: The Impact of Rapid AI Development B．Going Nuclear: A Potential Solution to Power Shortage C．Energy Reform: How to Reduce Monthly Electricity Bills D．Beyond AI: Uncovering the Real Drivers of Rising Power Costs 三. （2026·广西河池·一模）When an AI-generated painting won a major art competition in 2022, the art world was thrown into fierce debate: can art created by artificial intelligence be considered “real art”, or is it just a technical trick with no true creativity? Three years on, the debate has not faded. Instead, it has evolved into a deeper discussion about the nature of art, creativity and human expression in the digital age. On one side of the argument are traditional artists and critics who insist that art is a human experience, deeply rooted in emotion, personal struggle and subjective interpretation. They argue that AI cannot create art because it lacks consciousness. Though it can generate images based on millions of existing artworks, it cannot feel joy, sorrow, or inspiration, nor can it express a unique personal vision. A famous oil painter put it directly, “AI painting is like a parrot repeating words — it can copy form, but it cannot understand meaning.” These critics also warn that AI art risks devaluing human creativity, as anyone can generate a “painting” with a few clicks, making the years of training and practice required for human artists seem meaningless. On the other side are digital artists, tech experts and some contemporary art curators (馆长) who believe AI is just a new tool for artistic creation, no different from the paintbrush or the camera when they were first invented. They point out that all art is built on inspiration from the past. Human artists learn from masterpieces, just as AI learns from existing works. What matters, they argue, is not who or what creates the art, but the intention behind it and the reaction it evokes in the viewer. Many AI artists spend months adjusting AI models, choosing themes, and adjusting details to express their ideas. This process, they say, is no less creative than mixing paint on a canvas. Some curators even note that AI art has opened up new possibilities for art, allowing people with no traditional art training to express their creativity and making art more accessible to the public. The truth, perhaps, lies somewhere in the middle. AI is not a replacement for human artists, nor is it a meaningless technical toy. It is a new medium that challenges us to rethink what art is and what it can be. As one art scholar wrote, “Creativity is not about the tool; it is about the mind that uses the tool. Whether the mind is human or artificial, the art it creates deserves to be judged on its own merits (优点), not its origin.” 9．Why does the author mention the 2022 AI painting competition incident? A．To inform the reader of the news. B．To introduce the topic. C．To explain what is AI painting. D．To make a conclusion. 10．Why do traditional artists refuse AI paintings? A．They don’t have sufficient training. B．They copy too many existing artworks. C．They lack real feelings and personal creativity. D．They are produced too quickly with simple clicks. 11．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Support for AI as an art tool. B．How AI learns from old works. C．The tough creation process of AI artists. D．AI artists are better than traditional artists. 12．What is the author’s attitude towards AI art? A．Critical. B．Doubtful. C．Optimistic. D．Neutral. 四. （25-26高三下·湖南长沙·月考）Philosophy departments are ruled by rankings. Philosophers are supposed to be clear thinkers; shouldn’t they see through thought traps like this? The problem is that metrics (衡量标准) are appealing. Once something is ranked, it becomes almost impossible to get that ranking out of your head. Over time, this can lead to what C． Thi Nguyen calls “value capture”. Nguyen, a philosophy professor, is also a rock climber. When he first took up the sport, what he loved was the joy of using his body in challenging ways. Routes have difficulty scores; these motivated him. But soon he started chasing higher scores, believing the point of climbing was to conquer increasingly demanding routes. “The more desperately I wanted it, the more unpleasant my climbing got,” he wrote. His climbing became less about joy and more about winning. It wasn’t until he saw another climber focus on the beauty of the climb, not just reaching the top, that Nguyen remembered his original passion. He then stopped chasing scores and truly enjoyed the climbing itself. It’s hard to resist “value capture” because our real values are often unclear. We might enjoy cooking, for instance, but then start believing that only more complicated recipes are truly better. We might love traveling, but then try to visit too many places in a rush, thinking a “successful” trip means doing it all. There’s often a gap between what is measured and what truly matters. As Nguyen points out, “Many of the important things in life seem to consistently defy measurement.” To avoid being controlled by external measures, Nguyen suggests we learn from games. Games teach us the difference between a “goal” and a “purpose”. For example, when playing charades (打哑谜猜字游戏) with family, your goal might be to win, but your real purpose is to have fun and connect with loved ones. By understanding this crucial difference, we can focus on our deeper purposes and avoid letting external scores capture our true values. 13．How does “value capture” affect us according to the passage? A．It misdirects our true priorities. B．It makes our aims much higher. C．It defines our personal purposes. D．It helps us clarify our external goals. 14．What does Nguyen’s climbing story primarily illustrate? A．The joy of accomplishing a task. B．The risk of losing inner pleasure. C．The difficulty of mastering skills. D．The importance of observing others. 15．According to the passage, why do people follow external metrics? A．Outside standards never lead us wrong. B．Rankings create pressure to compete. C．External metrics promise a clear path to success. D．Clear aims are easier to grasp than inner worth. 16．How does the example of charades help explain Nguyen’s solution? A．Proving that games don’t have external rules. B．Showing that winning matters most in games. C．Suggesting that family games are meaningless. D．Distinguishing winning from genuine enjoyment. 五. （2026·四川雅安·二模）Almost every week the world takes another step in the direction of artificial general intelligence. The most powerful AI models can do an astonishing array of tasks from writing detailed reports to creating video on demand. Small wonder, then, that so many people worry they will soon be redundant to requirements. Earlier this year global Google searches for “AI unemployment” hit an all-time high. In cities such as London and San Francisco, “How long do you reckon you have left in your job?” is a common topic of conversation. But is ChatGPT actually putting anyone out of work? Lots of experts claim that it is. Many point to a recent paper by Carl Benedikt Frey and Pedro Llanos-Paredes, both of the University of Oxford, which suggests a link between automation and declining demand for translators. At the same time, however, official American data suggest that the number of people employed in interpretation, translation and the like is 7% higher than a year ago. Fintech firm Klarna also reversed its AI-driven customer service automation, reaffirming human support options. Some link young college graduates’ higher relative unemployment to AI replacing their entry-level knowledge-intensive tasks, but this trend began in 2009, long before generative AI emerged, and their actual 6% unemployment rate is low. Analysis of US occupational employment data shows AI-vulnerable white-collar jobs (back-office, finance, sales, etc.) have not seen AI-related losses; their employment share even rose slightly. US unemployment is low at 4.2% with strong wage growth, contradicting claims of declining labor demand. Other wealthy economies show a similar trend: the OECD’s 2024 employment rate reached a record high, with solid earnings growth in the UK, euro area and Japan. There are two competing explanations for these trends. First, few firms actually use AI for serious work, with less than 10% of American companies employing it for production. Second, companies adopting AI tend to retain workers, as the technology mostly boosts efficiency rather than replacing jobs. Whatever the explanation, for now there is no need to panic. 17．Why does the author mention global Google searches in Paragraph 2? A．To imply AI has put people out of work. B．To inform people of AI unemployment rate. C．To remind AI is a common topic of conversation. D．To show people’s worry about AI unemployment. 18．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The link between automation and job losses. B．Reasons for college graduates’ unemployment. C．The development of AI affects translation industry. D．Experts’ view on AI unemployment contradicts facts. 19．What is the author’s attitude towards the claim that AI causes mass unemployment? A．Totally indifferent. B．Fully supportive. C．Somewhat skeptical. D．Extremely critical. 20．How does the author support his point? A．By raising questions. B．By listing related facts. C．By giving research results. D．By comparing divided opinions. 六. （2026·辽宁锦州·一模）As the Year of the Horse arrives in February 2026, China has been preparing to launch its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026 — 2030). In his New Year message, President Xi Jinping called on the nation to charge ahead “like horses with courage, vitality and energy,” filling this new journey with profound cultural recognition and forward momentum (势头). The horse has always held a special place in the hearts of the Chinese people, honored not only as loyal companions but as a symbol of self-improvement and pioneering spirit. From the “Bronze Galloping (疾驰) Horse” statue from the Han dynasty to the “Six Steeds (骏马) of Zhaoling” stone reliefs from the Tang dynasty, the image of the horse has long gone beyond its biological form. Through the pursuit of the “dragon-horse spirit” — a metaphor for steady and rapid progress — the image of the horse has become a symbol of the national character. Its essence can be summarized in three dimensions: a courageous pioneering spirit, the collective strength of unity, and the perseverance of practical hard work. The arrival of the Year of the Horse coincides with a critical stage as China launches its next phase of development. Throughout history, horses facilitated China in carrying out civilization exchanges and building national unity. Today, the country must draw upon the virtues of the horse to overcome modern challenges. From achieving greater self-reliance and strength in science and technology to promoting common prosperity, and from green transition to global governance, every mission requires courage, vitality and energy that the horse represents. Standing at the starting line of the 15th Five-Year Plan, the task now is to translate the cultural symbolism into tangible action. Only by merging individual efforts into the broader current of national development, and by utilizing the pioneering spirit of a front-runner, the collective force of ten thousand galloping horses and the steady perseverance of a tireless steed, can the country ensure a strong start to the coming five years, and gallop forward on the journey toward national thriving. 21．What do the underlined words “this new journey” in Paragraph 1 most probably refer to? A．President Xi Jinping’s New Year message. B．The arrival of the Year of the Horse in 2026. C．The restoration of Chinese cultural traditions. D．China’s initiation of a new Five-Year Plan period. 22．What is the primary function of the second paragraph? A．To trace the historical origin of horse breeding in China. B．To explain how the horse became a symbol of national character. C．To compare different artistic representations of horses across dynasties. D．To argue that the Tang dynasty valued horses more than the Han dynasty. 23．According to the passage, which of the following is a mission China are trying to fulfill? A．Prioritizing rapid economic growth. B．Drawing upon the virtues of the horse. C．Seeking independence in core technologies. D．Withdrawing from global governance efforts. 24．Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A．China’s New Journey Toward National Prosperity. B．The Spirit of the Horse: A National Character of China. C．The Cultural Symbolism of the Horse in Chinese History. D．The Year of the Horse Meets China’s 15th Five-Year Plan. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 《2026届高三英语各地模考或重点中学（联考）阅读专项训练二十二（D篇）及答案详解》参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B B A D C C B D B C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 A D A B D D D D C B 题号 21 22 23 24 答案 D B C D 一. 1．B 2．B 3．A 4．D 【难度】0.69 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要阐述19世纪美国儿童乐于品尝奇特食物、享受多样风味，而如今儿童挑食现象普遍，分析该现象是垃圾食品公司营销造成，同时为家长缓解相关焦虑给出建议。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“American kids ate very odd things in the 19th century. In historical documents of all kinds, from medical studies to diaries to school records, Americans described children as curious eaters who appreciated strong flavors and interesting textures (口感).(19世纪美国孩子会吃非常奇特的东西。在各类历史文献中，从医学研究到日记再到学校记录，美国人将孩子们描述为好奇的食客，他们喜欢浓烈的味道和有趣的口感)”以及第二段中的“But today, appreciation of sharp and varied flavors can be hard to find among American kids.(但如今，在美国孩子中很难找到对浓烈多样口味的喜爱)可知，19世纪的美国儿童与现在的儿童不同之处在于，他们享受更多样的风味。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But mass childhood pickiness is a modern phenomenon created largely by junk food companies that promoted products like sugary cereals (谷物) as food specifically for children, convincing Americans that kids need different, easily likable foods. This created a culture of pickiness that is harming children’s health and taking away pleasures and flavors they enjoyed in the past — all while adding unnecessary anxiety to dinner tables across the country.(但是，儿童普遍挑食是一种现代现象。这在很大程度上是由垃圾食品公司造成的：他们将含糖麦片之类的产品宣传成专门给儿童食用的食品，让美国人深信孩子需要独特、易于接受的食物。 这种现象催生了挑食文化，它正在损害孩子们的健康，剥夺了他们曾经享受过的美食滋味，同时还给全国家庭的餐桌增添了无端的焦虑)”可知，作者认为儿童挑食是一种文化现象。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“Food companies like General Foods and Nestlé poured money into designing products in laboratories to target humans’ natural preferences and make their foods very hard to refuse. By the mid - 20th century, thousands of their sweet, salty and crunchy (脆的) foods crowded grocery shelves, and many of them were marketed to children.(像通用食品公司和雀巢这样的食品公司投入资金在实验室设计产品，以迎合人类的自然偏好，让他们的食品让人难以抗拒。到20世纪中期，他们生产的数千种甜的、咸的和脆的食品摆满了杂货店的货架，其中许多产品是面向儿童销售的)”可以推断出，食品公司取得了巨大成功。故选A项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Parents can warmly encourage children to eat family foods and avoid offering alternatives. They can also fight against corporate marketing with their own enthusiastic messages about the foods they love to eat.(家长可以热情地鼓励孩子吃家常食物，避免提供替代品。他们还可以用自己对喜爱食物的热情宣传来对抗公司的营销)”可知，作者通过提供切实可行的建议来缓解家长的焦虑。故选D项。 二. 5．C 6．C 7．B 8．D 【难度】0.72 【导语】这是一篇议论文，本文主要介绍美国电费上涨的主要推手不是AI，而是电网升级等其他长期被忽略的因素。 5．推理判断题。根据第一段“Power bills are going up in America and people are angry. They know whom to blame — the bosses of technology firms thirsting for more juice to fuel artificial - intelligence data centres. However, the AI boom is not chiefly to blame for the rising costs. (美国的电费正在上涨，民众对此感到愤怒。他们很清楚该把责任归咎于谁——那些渴望获得更多电力以支持人工智能数据中心的科技公司的老板们。然而，人工智能热潮并非导致成本上升的主要原因)”可知，第一段提到公众愤怒，是因为民众普遍认为AI数据中心推高了电费，作者引出这个大众的普遍看法后，再转折提出自己的相反观点。因此目的是引入大众共识，故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据第三段中“It fingered grid (电网) upgrades and rising costs of power-generating equipment and raw materials.(该研究指出，电网升级、发电设备及原材料成本的上升是导致电价上涨的真正原因)”和第四段中“More than half the sum for distribution and transmission infrastructure (基础设施) will go on replacing ageing equipment and hardening it against extreme weather made likelier by climate change.(用于配电和输电基础设施的费用中，超过一半将用于更换老化设备以及增强其抵御气候变化导致的极端天气的能力)”可知， 第三段明确提到研究指出电价上涨的主要原因是电网升级、发电设备和原材料成本上升，第四段也补充说明大部分资本投入都用于电网设备更新，因此电价上涨的原因是电网升级和设备成本，故选C。 7．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“AI may even be lowering prices. The tech giants are already investing in their own capacity. Microsoft has signed a long-term deal to restart a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island to supply its data centres. Meta has backed a handful of nuclear startups. The World Resources Institute, another think-tank, notes that in North Dakota rising demand from oil and gas production, data-centre operators and food-processors led to large price reductions for local electricity users.(人工智能甚至可能在降低价格。这些科技巨头已经在投资自身的产能。微软已签署了一份长期协议，旨在重启三里岛的核反应堆，以向其数据中心提供电力供应。Meta公司也支持了几家核能初创企业。另一家智库世界资源研究所指出，在北达科他州，石油和天然气生产、数据中心运营商以及食品加工商的需求不断增长，导致当地电力用户的电价大幅下降)”可知，最后一段为了证明“AI甚至会拉低电价”的观点，先后举了微软重启核电站、Meta投资核初创公司、北达科他州电价下降三个实例，通过举例展开论述，故选B。 8．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“Power bills are going up in America and people are angry. They know whom to blame — the bosses of technology firms thirsting for more juice to fuel artificial-intelligence data centres. However, the AI boom is not chiefly to blame for the rising costs. (美国的电费正在上涨，民众对此感到愤怒。他们很清楚该把责任归咎于谁——那些渴望获得更多电力以支持人工智能数据中心的科技公司的老板们。然而，人工智能热潮并非导致成本上升的主要原因)”可知，本文主要介绍美国电费上涨的主要推手不是AI，而是电网升级等其他长期被忽略的因素，D项“除了人工智能：探寻电力成本上涨的真正驱动因素” 为最佳标题，故选D。 三. 9．B 10．C 11．A 12．D 【难度】0.68 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕2022年AI画作获奖事件，探讨人工智能创作的艺术是否为“真正的艺术”，呈现不同观点并给出中立看法。 9．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“When an AI-generated painting won a major art competition in 2022, the art world was thrown into fierce debate: can art created by artificial intelligence be considered ‘real art’, or is it just a technical trick with no true creativity?(2022年，一幅人工智能生成的画作赢得了一项重大艺术比赛，艺术界陷入了激烈的争论：人工智能创作的艺术能否被视为“真正的艺术”，还是仅仅是没有真正创造力的技术把戏？)”可知，作者提及2022年AI画作获奖事件，是为了引出“人工智能创作的艺术是否为真正的艺术”这一核心话题。故选B项。 10．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“On one side of the argument are traditional artists and critics who insist that art is a human experience, deeply rooted in emotion, personal struggle and subjective interpretation. They argue that AI cannot create art because it lacks consciousness. Though it can generate images based on millions of existing artworks, it cannot feel joy, sorrow, or inspiration, nor can it express a unique personal vision.(争论的一方是传统艺术家和评论家，他们坚持认为艺术是一种人类体验，深深植根于情感、个人奋斗和主观解读。他们认为人工智能不能创造艺术，因为它缺乏意识。尽管它可以基于数百万幅现有艺术作品生成图像，但它无法感受喜悦、悲伤或灵感，也无法表达独特的个人视角)”可知，传统艺术家拒绝AI绘画，是因为AI缺乏真正的情感和个人创造力。故选C项。 11．主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“On the other side are digital artists, tech experts and some contemporary art curators who believe AI is just a new tool for artistic creation, no different from the paintbrush or the camera when they were first invented.(争论的另一方是数字艺术家、技术专家和一些当代艺术馆长，他们认为人工智能只是艺术创作的一种新工具，与画笔或相机刚发明时没有区别)”及整段内容可知，该段主要阐述了支持将AI作为艺术创作工具的观点，介绍了数字艺术家、技术专家等人对AI艺术的认可及理由。故选A项。 12．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The truth, perhaps, lies somewhere in the middle. AI is not a replacement for human artists, nor is it a meaningless technical toy. It is a new medium that challenges us to rethink what art is and what it can be.(真相或许介于两者之间。人工智能不是人类艺术家的替代品，也不是毫无意义的技术玩具。它是一种新的媒介，挑战我们重新思考艺术是什么以及它能成为什么)”可知，作者认为AI既不是人类艺术家的替代品，也不是无意义的技术玩具，而是一种新的媒介，其态度是中立的。故选D项。 四. 13．A 14．B 15．D 16．D 【难度】0.47 【导语】本文为议论文，主要论述了“价值捕获”现象，即人们被外在排名、量化指标左右而偏离真正价值，并以攀岩和游戏为例，提出区分目标与真正目的、避免被外在标准控制的观点。 13．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Once something is ranked, it becomes almost impossible to get that ranking out of your head. Over time, this can lead to what C. Thi Nguyen calls “value capture”.(一旦某事物被赋予了排名，那么你几乎就无法将其从脑海中抹去。随着时间的推移，这可能会导致 C.蒂·阮所说的‘价值捕获’现象。)”以及第二段“ When he first took up the sport, what he loved was the joy of using his body in challenging ways. Routes have difficulty scores; these motivated him. But soon he started chasing higher scores, believing the point of climbing was to conquer increasingly demanding routes. “The more desperately I wanted it, the more unpleasant my climbing got,” he wrote. His climbing became less about joy and more about winning.(刚开始接触这项运动时，他所热爱的，是用身体迎接挑战的那份快乐。攀岩线路都有难度评分，这些分数曾激励着他。但很快，他开始追逐更高的分数，认为攀岩的意义就在于攻克难度越来越大的线路。‘我越是迫切地想要拿到高分，攀岩就变得越令人不快。'他写道。他的攀岩不再以快乐为主，而是更多地为了取胜。)”可知，价值俘获会让人们偏离真正重要的东西，误导真实的优先级。故选A。 14．推理判断题。根据文章第二段““The more desperately I wanted it, the more unpleasant my climbing got,” he wrote. His climbing became less about joy and more about winning.(‘我越是急切地想要完成那条路线，我的攀岩就越令人难受。’他写道。他的攀岩活动不再仅仅是为了享受乐趣，而更多是为了追求胜利。)”可知，Nguyen的攀岩经历主要说明被分数裹挟会失去内心的快乐。故选B。 15．细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“It’s hard to resist “value capture” because our real values are often unclear.(人们往往难以抗拒‘价值捕获’的诱惑，因为我们的真正价值往往并不明确。)”和“There’s often a gap between what is measured and what truly matters. As Nguyen points out, “Many of the important things in life seem to consistently defy measurement.”(通常，所测量的内容与真正重要的事物之间会存在差距。正如阮所指出的那样：‘生活中许多重要的事情似乎总是难以进行量化衡量。’)”可推知，外在指标清晰明确，比模糊的内在价值更容易让人理解和把握，所以人们会追随外部衡量标准。因此人们追随外在衡量标准是因为清晰的目标比内在价值更容易把握。故选D。 16．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“To avoid being controlled by external measures, Nguyen suggests we learn from games. Games teach us the difference between a “goal” and a “purpose”. For example, when playing charades (打哑谜猜字游戏) with family, your goal might be to win, but your real purpose is to have fun and connect with loved ones. By understanding this crucial difference, we can focus on our deeper purposes and avoid letting external scores capture our true values.(为了避免受外界因素的控制，Nguyen建议我们从游戏中汲取经验。游戏教会我们‘目标（goal）’与‘目的（purpose）’的区别。比如，在和家人玩打哑谜猜字游戏时，我们的目标可能是获胜，但真正的目的是享受乐趣并与亲人建立联系。通过明白这一关键的区别，我们就能专注于更深层次的目的，避免让外界的分数影响我们真正的价值观。)”可推知，Nguyen建议通过学习游戏来区分‘目标’与‘目的’，以避免被外界标准左右。就像和家人玩猜谜游戏，获胜只是表面目标，享受乐趣、增进亲情才是真正目的。认清二者差异，才能坚守内心真正的价值。因此推断打哑谜的例子是为了区分 “赢得胜利” 和 “真正的享受” 这两者。故选D。 五. 17．D 18．D 19．C 20．B 【难度】0.57 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章针对人们担忧人工智能会造成大规模失业的现象，通过列举多国就业数据和企业案例，指出人工智能并未导致失业潮，认为目前无需对此恐慌。 17．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Small wonder, then, that so many people worry they will soon be redundant to requirements. Earlier this year global Google searches for “AI unemployment” hit an all-time high. (因此，难怪那么多人担心他们很快就会成为需求的多余部分。今年早些时候，全球范围内有关“人工智能导致失业”的谷歌搜索量达到了历史新高。)”可知，作者提到谷歌搜索量创新高，是为了例证前文提到的人们对人工智能导致失业的普遍担忧。故选D项。 18．主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Lots of experts claim that it is. Many point to a recent paper by Carl Benedikt Frey and Pedro Llanos-Paredes, both of the University of Oxford, which suggests a link between automation and declining demand for translators. At the same time, however, official American data suggest that the number of people employed in interpretation, translation and the like is 7% higher than a year ago. Fintech firm Klarna also reversed its AI-driven customer service automation, reaffirming human support options. (许多专家都持这种观点。许多人引用了牛津大学的Carl Benedikt Frey和Pedro Llanos-Paredes近期发表的一篇论文来支持这一观点，该论文指出自动化与对翻译人员需求的下降之间存在关联。然而，与此同时，美国官方数据表明，从事口译、翻译等相关工作的人员数量比一年前增加了7%。金融科技公司Klarna也撤销了其由人工智能驱动的客户服务自动化方案，重申了人工支持选项。)”可知，这里先摆出专家认为人工智能造成失业的观点，随后用官方数据、企业案例等事实反驳，体现专家观点与现实情况矛盾。故选D项。 19．推理判断题。通读第三、四两段，并结合全文最后一句“Whatever the explanation, for now there is no need to panic. (无论解释是什么，目前都没有必要恐慌。)”可知，作者通过大量数据和案例说明人工智能并未造成大规模失业，指出当前不必恐慌，表明他对此持有些怀疑态度。故选C项。 20．推理判断题。根据第三段中“official American data (美国官方数据)”、“Fintech firm Klarna (金融科技公司Klarna)”、“young college graduates’ higher relative unemployment (年轻大学毕业生的相对高失业率)”和第四段中“Analysis of US occupational employment data (对美国职业就业数据的分析)”、“US unemployment (美国失业率)”、“the OECD’s 2024 employment rate (经合组织2024年的就业率)”可知，作者主要通过列举就业数据、企业案例、经济指标等相关事实支撑观点。故选B项。 六. 21．D 22．B 23．C 24．D 【难度】0.73 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍2026马年恰逢中国第十五个五年规划开启，马的精神象征国家品格，将助力国家新征程发展。 21．词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“As the Year of the Horse arrives in February 2026, China has been preparing to launch its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026 — 2030). In his New Year message, President Xi Jinping called on the nation to charge ahead “like horses with courage, vitality and energy,” filling this new journey with profound cultural recognition and forward momentum (势头). (随着2026年2月马年到来，中国正准备启动第十五个五年规划（2026—2030）。习近平主席在新年贺词中号召全国“以马的勇气、活力和能量”奋勇向前，让这段新征程充满深厚文化认同与奋进势头。)”可知，“this new journey”紧跟在“启动第十五个五年规划”之后，指代的正是中国开启新的五年规划时期这一进程。故选D项。 22．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The horse has always held a special place in the hearts of the Chinese people, honored not only as loyal companions but as a symbol of self-improvement and pioneering spirit. From the “Bronze Galloping (疾驰) Horse” statue from the Han dynasty to the “Six Steeds (骏马) of Zhaoling” stone reliefs from the Tang dynasty, the image of the horse has long gone beyond its biological form. Through the pursuit of the “dragon-horse spirit” — a metaphor for steady and rapid progress — the image of the horse has become a symbol of the national character. (马在中国人心中一直占有特殊地位，不仅被尊为忠诚伙伴，更被视为自强不息与开拓精神的象征。从汉代“铜奔马”雕像到唐代“昭陵六骏”石刻，马的形象早已超越生物形态。通过追求“龙马精神”——稳健快速发展的隐喻——马的形象已成为民族品格的象征。)”可知，第二段梳理了马在中华文化中的地位与历史载体，阐释其如何演变为民族品格的象征，因此该段主要作用是解释马如何成为民族品格的象征。故选B项。 23．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“From achieving greater self-reliance and strength in science and technology to promoting common prosperity, and from green transition to global governance, every mission requires courage, vitality and energy that the horse represents.(从实现科技更高水平自立自强，到促进共同富裕，从绿色转型到全球治理，每项使命都需要马所代表的勇气、活力与能量。)”可知，实现科技自立自强即核心技术自主独立，是中国正努力完成的使命，因此中国正努力实现核心技术领域的独立自主。故选C项。 24．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“As the Year of the Horse arrives in February 2026, China has been preparing to launch its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026 — 2030).(随着2026年2月马年到来，中国正准备启动第十五个五年规划（2026—2030）。)”可知，文章以马年与第十五个五年规划相遇为切入点，阐述马的精神内涵与新时代国家发展的联系，全文始终围绕马年与“十五五”规划这一核心背景展开，因此“马年恰逢中国第十五个五年规划”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 答案第1页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
