As a travel expert finding hidden gems around the world, I’m happy to tell you it’s going to be a year of mega-celebrations. Here are some top destinations to add to your bucket list. Brussels, Belgium Brussels is often overlooked, but 2026 is your year to visit. In November, the city will welcome the Kanal—Centre Pompidou. Showcasing contemporary works in a massive converted garage, it will be the largest new museum in Europe. If you visit in August, don't miss the biennial Floral Carpet, which turns the Grand Place into a sea of petals. Chicago, USA The Obama Presidential Center is opening in the Windy City in June 2026. The 20-acre campus is more than a library; it incorporates an interactive museum, performance venues, a garden, and even a sledding hill.

How are you?” the front-desk person responded. “Oh, I’m fine. How are you?” I answered, mindlessly. “Good, good, and you?” she replied. We both froze, stuck in an infinite loop of the same question. Neither of us knew how to exit gracefully, so I just backed away toward the treadmills. It hit me then: I had no idea how she was actually doing. “How are you?” had become a social nicety that spiraled out of control thanks to our collective autopilot. Experts call this "face management," a cultural ritual where the greeting is deeply encoded in our communication norms. It’s a greeting masquerading as a question, which explains why we feel startled when someone actually answers it honestly. But is there something wrong with “I’m fine”? Communication expert Maria Venetis notes it’s the right move if you don’t have time to engage or are passing someone in a hallway. However, if you’re looking to build a relationship, “I’m fine” falls flat. It’s a conversational dead end that doesn’t invite further interaction. To move from transactional to transformational relationships, one needs more authentic responses outside the norm. Transforming your response doesn’t require sharing deep secrets. It’s about small shifts that signal openness. Adding specificity—like mentioning a busy work project or the excellent weather—transforms a dead-end response into a door that’s slightly ajar. Furthermore, an intentional pause and open body language signal that you actually want to hear the answer. I decided to try this. Next time at the gym, instead of the usual script, I asked, “How was your holiday? Did you do anything fun?” One staff member mentioned skiing, and the other visited family. We were all genuinely smiling. The interaction hadn’t taken much longer, but we all felt a little happier and more connected afterward. 4. What does the author’s experience at the gym illustrate? A. The difficulty of using gym equipment for the first time. B. The embarrassment of forgetting an acquaintance’s name. C. The repetitive and mindless nature of common social greetings. D. The importance of staying silent in public communication. 5. When is answering “I’m fine” considered appropriate according to Maria Venetis? A. When you want to share a small nugget about your life. B. When you lack the time for an in-depth conversation. C. When you are trying to impress a professional researcher. D. When you are feeling particularly enthusiastic about a project. 6. What is the key to creating "transformational relationships" during a greeting? A. Executing a conversational script with robot-like precision. B. Providing authentic and specific responses beyond the expected. C. Avoiding eye contact to maintain a sense of mystery and privacy. D. Asking four times in a row to ensure the other person is listening. 7. What can be inferred from the author's second visit to the gym? A. Skiing is the most popular holiday activity among gym staff. B. Changing the way we ask questions can lead to genuine connection. C. Traditional greetings are faster than specific ones in all contexts. D. People usually feel annoyed when asked about their private holidays.  语料积累 词汇及短语汇总表 类别 内容 必备单词 acquaintance n. 泛泛之交；autopilot n. 自动驾驶（文中指机械行为）；nicety n. 礼节，细节；masquerade v. 伪装；nuanced adj. 细微差别的；transactional adj. 交易型的；specificity n. 具体性 熟词生义 loop 常用义：环；文章义：（对话的）死循环；flat 常用义：平坦的；文章义：（回答等）索然无味，不起作用；ajar 常用义：微开的；文章义：（机会或联系）开启了一点缝隙 必备短语 spiral out of control 失去控制；fall flat 失败，没达到预期效果；dead end 死胡同；catch up with 叙旧，跟上进度；bypass the nature 绕过……的本质/惯例 C Artificial Intelligence is not your friend—and it’s not keeping your secrets. While a chatbot is handy for consolidating search results, you just can’t trust AI alone. Sharing personal information with AI to gain answers about your life can be a "slippery slope": you start by asking something innocuous, and suddenly you’re asking medical or relationship advice, which leads to your private data being misused. The core issue lies in how AI learns. Chatbots are often large language models (LLMs) that mimic human talk. They are trained using huge amounts of data, including your interactions with them. According to attorney John Pavolotsky, businesses, developers, and even advertisers may see the information you input. Furthermore, your chat history can be accessed by anyone who has access to your device, much like a browser history. Another concern is what experts call the "flattery issue." AI tools are built to be "sycophants"—they mostly support or agree with users’ opinions, making them unlikely to push back on false or problematic viewpoints. This lack of objectivity means AI certainly does not have the qualities of a human expert. Specific topics are particularly problematic. For instance, AI chatbots are not HIPAA compliant, meaning they don’t have to adhere to medical privacy laws. Anything you tell AI could potentially fall into the hands of insurance companies or advertisers. Moreover, a 2026 study showed that LLMs provided the correct medical diagnosis only 34.5% of the time. In some extreme cases, chatbots might even confirm or amplify unhealthy mental health ideas rather than providing the necessary counterpoints a human therapist would offer. Ultimately, the best safeguard is not to share personal information with AI. "Understand the purpose of the tool and do not input anything into it that you would not want publicly shared," Pavolotsky warns. 8. What does the "slippery slope" in paragraph 1 imply about using AI? A. AI chatbots are becoming increasingly difficult to use. B. Users may unknowingly share sensitive data after a harmless start. C. Chatbots are likely to provide more accurate advice over time. D. Personal information is automatically deleted after each session. 9. Why is the "flattery issue" considered a red flag by experts? A. AI may become too emotional when interacting with humans. B. It prevents AI from agreeing with valid scientific facts. C. AI's tendency to agree can reinforce a user's wrong beliefs. D. Chatbots are unable to mimic the polite tone of human talk. 10. What makes medical consultations with AI particularly risky? A. Chatbots are legally required to share data with the police. B. AI models are trained only by random social media users. C. It is impossible for AI to understand complex medical terms. D. AI is not bound by traditional medical privacy regulations. 11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To alert readers to the potential dangers of sharing private information with AI. B. To evaluate the technical differences between various AI language models. C. To encourage the government to pass stricter laws on internet browsing. D. To promote the use of AI chatbots as a replacement for human therapists.  语料积累 英语词汇与短语汇总表 类别 内容 必备单词 consolidate v. 巩固，合并；innocuous adj. 无害的；mimic v. 模仿；sycophant n. 谄媚者，拍马屁的人；compliant adj. 符合的，顺从的；adhere v. 遵循，坚持；amplify v. 放大，增强 熟词生义 plug 常用义：插头；文章义：推销，宣传 (shameless plug for human journalists)；tip 常用义：小费；文章义：端部，顶端 (tip of the iceberg)；flag 常用义：旗帜；文章义：标记，提醒 (flag certain topics) 必备短语 delve into 深入研究；be wary of 警惕……；push back on 反对，抵制；fall into the hands of 落入……之手；as they see fit 照他们认为合适的（方式）去做 D At 6:30 a.m., a giant saguaro cactus finally toppled in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. While the fall of a desert colossus is a natural event, this one was unique: it had been monitored day-by-day for six months by Lidar scanners. This technology, often used in self-driving cars, fires millions of laser pulses to create "digital dust"—billions of data points that form a perfect 3D model of the environment. The scans are part of an exhibition called "Framerate: Desert Pulse," a collaboration between the Desert Botanical Garden and the ScanLAB Projects. The project recorded the desert’s evolution, from the pulsing life of cacti to the less sustainable impact of human landfills and parking lots. "I think we could never have imagined the desert would teem with as much life as we found it to," said Matthew Shaw, co-founder of ScanLAB. For the garden’s scientists, this "art" provides invaluable records. Because the work is data-driven, researchers now have growth records far more detailed than those obtained through traditional field visits. Kim McCue, the chief research officer, has already used the data to observe an agave folding and unfolding its leaves over several days. This discovery raised new questions about whether such movements serve as an adaptive purpose to protect the plant from extreme heat. Ultimately, these 3D scans could lead to better conservation efforts, though it may take years to analyze the massive amount of information. There is precedent for this: previous ScanLAB artwork led to a scientific paper on coastal erosion in England, which improved the protection of coastal infrastructure. By understanding why desert giants succumb and how they nourish their surroundings even after falling, scientists can better guard the future of this unique ecosystem. 12. What role did Lidar technology play in the study of the saguaro? A. It predicted the exact second the cactus would topple. B. It provided the energy needed for the cactus to pulse with life. C. It created a detailed 3D map by reflecting laser pulses off surfaces. D. It allowed researchers to communicate via a group chat in real-time. 13. Why is the "digital dust" mentioned in paragraph 3 valuable to scientists? A. It helps them clean the dust off the desert botanical garden beds. B. It offers high-precision data for monitoring plant growth and change. C. It proves that human landfills are more sustainable than once thought. D. It reduces the time needed for researchers to conduct field experiments. 14. What did McCue’s observation of the agave suggest? A. Agaves are the only plants that can survive in the Sonoran Desert. B. The movement of plant leaves might be a strategy to handle heat. C. Agaves grow much faster than any other species in the desert landscape. D. 3D scanning technology is bound only by the imagination of artists. 15. What is the main message of the text? A. Art and technology can work together to aid environmental conservation. B. The Sonoran Desert is the most dangerous place for wildlife to thrive. C. Self-driving cars will soon replace traditional tools in desert research. D. Falling cacti are the primary cause of environmental deterioration. 语料积累 英语学习内容表 类别 内容 必备单词 teem v. 充满；colossus n. 巨像/巨人；topple v. 倒塌；deteriorate v. 退化/变质；conservation n. 保护；precedent n. 先例；succumb v. 屈服/死亡 熟词生义 pulse 常用义：脉搏；文章义：v. 有节奏地跳动/充满活力 (pulsed with life)；pads 常用义：垫子；文章义：n. （仙人掌的）肉质茎 (cholla known for its pads)；records 常用义：唱片；文章义：n. 记载/数据记录 (incredible records of growth) 必备短语 be part of 是……的一部分；reflect off 从……反射回来；come into contact with 接触到；be bound by 受……限制；nourish the surrounding 滋养周围环境 Ⅱ.阅读七选五（每小题2.5分，共12.5分） You work toward something for months, believing that when you finally arrive, you’ll feel calmer and happier. Whether it's earning a degree or reaching a long-awaited milestone, the moment brings pride and relief. But for many high achievers, that feeling fades fast and is replaced by restlessness and emptiness. 16 . But this reaction is far more common than most people realize. Neuroscience provides some answers. Working toward a clear outcome organizes your attention and energy. The pursuit of goals activates the brain’s reward system, where dopamine (多巴胺) levels peak during goal-seeking behaviors to fuel motivation. 17 .Consequently, your brain is literally designed to make the chase feel better than the arrival. For some, achievement doesn't just reflect what they’ve done; it becomes intertwined with who they are. They believe their value depends entirely on their performance. 18 .Research from Self-Determination Theory suggests that extrinsic goals, such as status or financial success, are consistently associated with lower well-being, especially when they dominate a person's identity. Rather than seeing the following emptiness as a sign of failure, it may be more useful to view it as a rare pause. It allows honesty to surface once the noise of striving quiets down. 19 It may also reveal how little space you’ve made for joy, rest, or relationships that were never tied to performance in the first place. Building a fulfilling life does not mean abandoning ambition. 20 .It’s about moving from urgency to curiosity and ensuring your life is structured around internal needs. Autonomy, connection, and a sense of genuine engagement tend to matter more than any single milestone. A. This dip can reveal parts of yourself set aside during the pursuit. B. The answer lies in shifting your focus from achievement to values. C. But why doesn't reaching a milestone feel as good as expected? D. Emptiness often forces people to set even higher goals immediately. E. However, this chemical surge tapers off once the target is achieved. F. This leads them to pursue external validation to prove they are capable. G. Traditional education emphasizes the importance of objective success.  语料积累 词汇及短语整理表 类别 内容 必备单词 milestone n. 里程碑；taper off v. 逐渐减弱/消失；intertwine v. 缠绕，交织；validation n. 认可，验证；fallacy n. 谬误；disorienting adj. 令人迷失方向的 熟词生义 baseline 常用义：底线；文章义：基准状态 (emotional baseline)；noise 常用义：噪声；文章义：干扰/喧嚣 (the noise of striving)；flat 常用义：平坦的；文章义：（情感）平淡/消退 (fades fast) 必备短语 long-awaited 期待已久的；tie to 与……紧密相连；return to baseline 回到基准水平；set aside 搁置，舍弃；move from urgency to curiosity 从紧迫转向好奇 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年权威外刊改编的题型组合练（九）：阅读理解+阅读七选五 【解析版】 Ⅰ.阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共37.5分） A Pack your bags, because 2026 is going to be a great year for travel!

While the fall of a desert colossus is a natural event, this one was unique: it had been monitored day-by-day for six months by Lidar scanners. This technology, often used in self-driving cars, fires millions of laser pulses to create "digital dust"—billions of data points that form a perfect 3D model of the environment. The scans are part of an exhibition called "Framerate: Desert Pulse," a collaboration between the Desert Botanical Garden and the ScanLAB Projects. The project recorded the desert’s evolution, from the pulsing life of cacti to the less sustainable impact of human landfills and parking lots. "I think we could never have imagined the desert would teem with as much life as we found it to," said Matthew Shaw, co-founder of ScanLAB. For the garden’s scientists, this "art" provides invaluable records. Because the work is data-driven, researchers now have growth records far more detailed than those obtained through traditional field visits. Kim McCue, the chief research officer, has already used the data to observe an agave folding and unfolding its leaves over several days. This discovery raised new questions about whether such movements serve as an adaptive purpose to protect the plant from extreme heat. Ultimately, these 3D scans could lead to better conservation efforts, though it may take years to analyze the massive amount of information. There is precedent for this: previous ScanLAB artwork led to a scientific paper on coastal erosion in England, which improved the protection of coastal infrastructure. By understanding why desert giants succumb and how they nourish their surroundings even after falling, scientists can better guard the future of this unique ecosystem. 12. What role did Lidar technology play in the study of the saguaro? A. It predicted the exact second the cactus would topple. B. It provided the energy needed for the cactus to pulse with life. C. It created a detailed 3D map by reflecting laser pulses off surfaces. D. It allowed researchers to communicate via a group chat in real-time. 13. Why is the "digital dust" mentioned in paragraph 3 valuable to scientists? A. It helps them clean the dust off the desert botanical garden beds. B. It offers high-precision data for monitoring plant growth and change. C. It proves that human landfills are more sustainable than once thought. D. It reduces the time needed for researchers to conduct field experiments. 14. What did McCue’s observation of the agave suggest? A. Agaves are the only plants that can survive in the Sonoran Desert. B. The movement of plant leaves might be a strategy to handle heat. C. Agaves grow much faster than any other species in the desert landscape. D. 3D scanning technology is bound only by the imagination of artists. 15. What is the main message of the text? A. Art and technology can work together to aid environmental conservation. B. The Sonoran Desert is the most dangerous place for wildlife to thrive. C. Self-driving cars will soon replace traditional tools in desert research. D. Falling cacti are the primary cause of environmental deterioration. 答案与详解 [语篇解读] 本文是一篇科技与环境类说明文。文章介绍了科学家和艺术家如何利用 Lidar（激光雷达）技术对索诺兰沙漠进行 3D 扫描，通过生成的“数字尘埃”数据来观察动植物的细微变化，从而为未来的生态保护提供科学依据。 12. 答案：C 解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段和第二段描述，Lidar 技术通过发射数百万次激光脉冲（laser pulses）并在接触物体表面后反射，从而创建空间的完美 3D 模型（perfect 3D model of the space）。故选 C。 13. 答案：B 解析： 推理判断题。根据第三段和第四段内容，这种“数字尘埃”即数十亿个数据点，为科学家提供了“难以置信的生长记录（incredible records of growth）”，其详细程度是传统实地考察无法比拟的。故选 B。 14. 答案：B 解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段描述，McCue 观察到龙舌兰（agave）折叠和展开叶子，并提出了疑问：“这是否有适应性目的？是否在保护它们免受高温伤害？”。故选 B。 15. 答案：A 解析： 主旨大意题。文章核心讨论了通过“Framerate: Desert Pulse”这一艺术展览所产生的科技数据，如何帮助科学家进行保护工作（conservation efforts），体现了艺术与科技结合对环保的贡献。故选 A。  语料积累 英语学习内容表 类别 内容 必备单词 teem v. 充满；colossus n. 巨像/巨人；topple v. 倒塌；deteriorate v. 退化/变质；conservation n. 保护；precedent n. 先例；succumb v. 屈服/死亡 熟词生义 pulse 常用义：脉搏；文章义：v. 有节奏地跳动/充满活力 (pulsed with life)；pads 常用义：垫子；文章义：n. （仙人掌的）肉质茎 (cholla known for its pads)；records 常用义：唱片；文章义：n. 记载/数据记录 (incredible records of growth) 必备短语 be part of 是……的一部分；reflect off 从……反射回来；come into contact with 接触到；be bound by 受……限制；nourish the surrounding 滋养周围环境 Ⅱ.阅读七选五（每小题2.5分，共12.5分） You work toward something for months, believing that when you finally arrive, you’ll feel calmer and happier. Whether it's earning a degree or reaching a long-awaited milestone, the moment brings pride and relief. But for many high achievers, that feeling fades fast and is replaced by restlessness and emptiness. 16 . But this reaction is far more common than most people realize. Neuroscience provides some answers. Working toward a clear outcome organizes your attention and energy. The pursuit of goals activates the brain’s reward system, where dopamine (多巴胺) levels peak during goal-seeking behaviors to fuel motivation. 17 .Consequently, your brain is literally designed to make the chase feel better than the arrival. For some, achievement doesn't just reflect what they’ve done; it becomes intertwined with who they are. They believe their value depends entirely on their performance. 18 .Research from Self-Determination Theory suggests that extrinsic goals, such as status or financial success, are consistently associated with lower well-being, especially when they dominate a person's identity. Rather than seeing the following emptiness as a sign of failure, it may be more useful to view it as a rare pause. It allows honesty to surface once the noise of striving quiets down. 19 It may also reveal how little space you’ve made for joy, rest, or relationships that were never tied to performance in the first place. Building a fulfilling life does not mean abandoning ambition. 20 .It’s about moving from urgency to curiosity and ensuring your life is structured around internal needs. Autonomy, connection, and a sense of genuine engagement tend to matter more than any single milestone. A. This dip can reveal parts of yourself set aside during the pursuit. B. The answer lies in shifting your focus from achievement to values. C. But why doesn't reaching a milestone feel as good as expected? D. Emptiness often forces people to set even higher goals immediately. E. However, this chemical surge tapers off once the target is achieved. F. This leads them to pursue external validation to prove they are capable. G. Traditional education emphasizes the importance of objective success. 答案与详解 [语篇解读] 本文是一篇科普说明文。文章探讨了为何许多高成就者在获得成功后会感到迷茫或空虚（即“抵达谬误”）。作者从神经科学、身份认同和自我决定理论等角度解释了这一现象，并提出真正的成就感来自于价值观的实现而非单一目标的达成。 16．答案：C 解析： 考查句间逻辑。前文提到成功带来的骄傲感消失得很快，取而代之的是焦躁和空虚；后文提到“这种反应比大多数人意识到的要普遍得多”。C项“但为什么达到里程碑并不像预期的那样美好呢？”提出了一个疑问，引出下文对原因的分析，逻辑衔接自然。 17．答案：E 解析： 考查指代与因果逻辑。前文提到追求目标时多巴胺水平会达到峰值；后文得出结论“大脑的设计就是让追求的过程比抵达终点感觉更好”。E项中的“this chemical surge”指代前文的“dopamine levels peak”，“tapers off（逐渐减弱）”与后文的“chase feel better than arrival”形成因果解释。 18．答案：F 解析： 考查段落主题。本段讨论“成就变成身份认同”。前文提到高成就者认为自己的价值完全取决于表现；后文提到追求地位等外部目标会降低幸福感。F项“这导致他们追求外部验证来证明自己有能力”承接了前文的心理动机，并引出后文对外部目标的讨论。 19．答案：A 解析： 考查句意延伸。前文提到空虚感是一个“罕见的暂停”，让诚实浮出水面。A项“这种低谷可以揭示你在追求过程中被抛在一边的部分自我”进一步具体化了这种“诚实”的内容，与后文提到的“时间损失、牺牲或被搁置的自我”在语意上完全一致。 20．答案：B 解析： 考查归纳概括。本段给出建议：不要放弃雄心，而是要转变方向。后文提到“从紧迫感转向好奇心”以及“围绕内在需求构建生活”。B项“答案在于将你的焦点从成就转向价值观”是本段的核心建议，起到了提纲挈领的作用。 语料积累 词汇及短语整理表 类别 内容 必备单词 milestone n. 里程碑；taper off v. 逐渐减弱/消失；intertwine v. 缠绕，交织；validation n. 认可，验证；fallacy n. 谬误；disorienting adj. 令人迷失方向的 熟词生义 baseline 常用义：底线；文章义：基准状态 (emotional baseline)；noise 常用义：噪音；文章义：干扰/喧嚣 (the noise of striving)；flat 常用义：平坦的；文章义：（情感）平淡/消退 (fades fast) 必备短语 long-awaited 期待已久的；tie to 与……紧密相连；return to baseline 回到基准水平；set aside 搁置，舍弃；move from urgency to curiosity 从紧迫转向好奇 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
