Typically made in series, her works are light, energetic, and beautiful. An Italian scholar writes that he, as well as many others, was amazed to discover that the creator of such delicate works is “a lady who is well over the age of eighty.” The underlined word “delicate” in the paragraph probably means ______. A. heavy and rough B. finely made and graceful C. large and powerful D. simple and childish 【答案】B 【解析】划线词所在句中，作者先用“light, energetic, and beautiful”描述Ducrot的作品，紧接着说人们惊讶地发现如此“delicate”的作品出自八十多岁的女士之手。既然作品已被评价为“轻盈、充满活力且优美”，那么“delicate”应延续这一正向评价，指作品“精致、优雅的”。因此选B。 【武汉市2026届高三年级四月考试·阅读理解C篇】 The internet of old was like an active market. It was noisy, chaotic, and dynamic. Every click brought you somewhere new, sometimes unpredictable, letting you uncover the joy in exchanging information and thoughts. The internet of today, however, speaks in comforting statements and offers a smooth experience with constant praise. The underlined word “chaotic” in the paragraph probably means ______. A. quiet and orderly B. exciting and fast C. disorganized and confused D. dangerous and dark 【答案】C 【解析】划线词所在句将旧互联网比作“active market”，并用“noisy, chaotic, and dynamic”描述其特征。后文转折说当今互联网“speaks in comforting statements and offers a smooth experience”。由“noisy”和“smooth”的对比可知，“chaotic”应与“有序、流畅”相反，意为“混乱的”。因此选C。 【武汉市2026届高三年级四月考试·阅读理解D篇】 The researchers built an algorithm to create vascular trees similar to native organ blood vessel architectures. They ensured that the vasculature would evenly distribute blood and successfully shorten the time needed to generate the network. While 3D printers aren’t yet up to the task of printing such a fine-scale network, the researchers were able to design and print a vascular model with 500 branches. The underlined word “algorithm” in the paragraph probably means ______. A. a type of 3D printer B. a set of step-by-step instructions for solving a problem C. a chemical solution for growing cells D. a physical model of blood vessels 【答案】B 【解析】划线词所在句说，研究人员构建了一个“algorithm”来“create vascular trees”（创建血管树），并且它能“ensure evenly distribute blood”和“shorten the time”。后文提到他们用这个工具成功设计并打印出血管模型。可见“algorithm”是一种用于完成特定计算或设计任务的步骤程序，即“算法”。因此选B。 【成都市2026届高三第三次诊断性考试·阅读理解B篇】 This is GoodGym in action. It’s a growing movement that’s redefining what it means to work out. The organization invites people to “get fit by doing good”, blending physical activity with hands-on community service. Members run, walk, or cycle to local projects that could range from sorting cans at a food bank, planting fruit trees, visiting an older adult, or moving furniture for someone in need. The underlined word “blending” in the paragraph probably means ______. A. separating B. comparing C. mixing D. replacing 【答案】C 【解析】划线词所在句说，该组织邀请人们“通过做好事来保持健康”，将体育锻炼“blending”亲身社区服务。后文具体说明成员跑步或骑车去完成分类罐头、种树、探望老人等任务。可见体育锻炼和社区服务是“结合在一起”的，因此“blending”意为“混合、融合”。故选C。 【成都市2026届高三第三次诊断性考试·阅读理解C篇】 It seems that many of us have a tendency toward natural-is-better thinking. A recent research shows that people routinely demonstrate a naturalness bias. That is, they exhibit a fondness for natural options even when those options are not objectively better. For instance, in one study, participants tended to perceive cigarettes as less harmful if they were labelled “natural”, even though research does not support that perception. The underlined word “bias” in the paragraph probably means ______. A. a preference that prevents fair judgment B. a lack of interest in natural things C. a scientific fact about nature D. a fear of synthetic products 【答案】A 【解析】划线词所在段中，作者先提出人们有“natural-is-better”的倾向，接着用“That is”直接解释“naturalness bias”：即使天然选项并非客观上更好，人们也偏爱它们。随后举了香烟标签的例子佐证。因此“bias”指一种“非客观的偏好”，即“偏见”。故选A。 【成都市2026届高三第三次诊断性考试·阅读理解D篇】 Such a signal was previously expected to be a sharp, distinct radio signal in a narrow frequency range. But the new research suggests that any such signals sent from distant planets may end up being made fainter and wider in the frequency band — essentially blurred slightly — as they pass through the stellar winds of stars. The underlined word “blurred” in the paragraph probably means ______. A. made clearer B. made less distinct C. increased in speed D. changed in direction 【答案】B 【解析】划线词所在句中，破折号前的“fainter and wider in the frequency band”（频带中变得更微弱且更宽）直接解释了破折号后的“blurred slightly”。信号变得微弱、频带变宽，意味着信号不再“sharp, distinct”（清晰、明确），而是变得“模糊、不清晰”。因此“blurred”意为“变得不清楚”，与“made less distinct”同义。故选B。 【河北省唐山市2026年普通高等学校招生统一考试高三年级第二次模拟·阅读理解B篇】 “A good doctor needs scientific knowledge and technical skill,” she says. “But they also need insight and the ability to listen and interpret a story. And they need a moral framework in which to situate that so that they can make a deep and important and trusting connection with their patients.” The underlined word “insight” in the paragraph probably means ______. A. physical strength B. the ability to understand deeply C. a set of medical tools D. a type of medical test 【答案】B 【解析】划线词所在句中，与“insight”并列的能力是“the ability to listen and interpret a story”（倾听并解读故事的能力），其目的是“make a deep and important and trusting connection with their patients”（与患者建立深刻、重要且信任的联系）。可见“insight”应是一种深刻理解的能力，即“洞察力”。故选B。 【河北省唐山市2026年普通高等学校招生统一考试高三年级第二次模拟·阅读理解C篇】 I do think AI has its uses. It can help people understand complicated things or any scary communication. But could the greater societal reliance be adding to the general noise in our heads, gradually undermining our trust in ourselves? The underlined word “undermining” in the paragraph probably means ______. A. strengthening B. weakening C. rebuilding D. ignoring 【答案】B 【解析】划线词所在句用“But”引出对AI依赖的担忧。句中“adding to the general noise in our heads”（增加我们头脑中的普遍噪音）是一种负面变化，这种变化会如何影响“our trust in ourselves”？根据常识，噪音增加会干扰判断，进而削弱自信。因此“undermining”在此意为“逐渐削弱”。四个选项中，B“weakening”最符合。 【河北省唐山市2026年普通高等学校招生统一考试高三年级第二次模拟·阅读理解D篇】 We studied hidden plant loss at over 5,000 natural plant sites in 119 regions worldwide. Each site was 100 m², and surrounding regions were about 300 km². At each site, we listed all species we saw, called alpha diversity.

A. the total number of species in a region B. the number of plant species observed at a single site C. the difference in vegetation between two sites D. the missing species that a site could support 【答案】B 【解析】划线词所在句明确写道：“At each site, we listed all species we saw, called alpha diversity.”（在每个地点，我们列出所有我们看到的物种，称之为alpha多样性。）因此“alpha diversity”直接定义为“单个地点观察到的植物物种数量”。故选B。 【湖南省永州市2026年高三年级高考第三次模拟·阅读理解B篇】 A backup guide runner will be ready in case the technology fails. Although he was daunted before the London Marathon, he feels confident about Brighton. “If you had told me 13 years ago that I’d be inspiring visually impaired children around the world, I’d never have believed you,” he says. The underlined word “daunted” in the paragraph probably means ______. A. excited B. discouraged or fearful C. bored D. surprised 【答案】B 【解析】划线词所在句中，“Although”引导的让步状语从句表示主从句意思相反。主句说“he feels confident about Brighton”（他对布莱顿马拉松充满信心），从句应表达在伦敦马拉松前“不自信”的心理状态。因此“daunted”意为“胆怯、畏惧”，与“discouraged or fearful”一致。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
