一.(25-26高三下·湖南长沙·月考)A new study has found that breathing does more than just move air in and out of your lungs — it could even be used to identify who you are. Scientists at Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that each person has a distinct breathing pattern, known as a nasal (鼻的) breathing “fingerprint”, a unique pattern that reveals clues about a person’s physical and mental health. Notably, brain scientist Timna Soroka shared, “We were able to identify differences between less depressed and non-depressed individuals.”
The researchers originally set out to better understand how our sense of smell works. In humans, the brain processes smell during inhalation (吸入), and this close connection between the brain and breathing led the team to wonder: could our breathing patterns reflect the way our brains are wired — and be unique to each of us? To explore this question, they developed a lightweight, wearable device that tracks nasal airflow continuously for 24 hours.
The study, published in the journal Current Biology, tested 100 healthy young adults as they went about their regular routines — running, studying, resting, and more. The results showed breathing patterns can identify individuals with 96.8 percent accuracy. “I thought it would be really hard to identify someone because everyone is doing different things,” said Soroka. “But it turns out their breathing patterns were remarkably distinct!”
Beyond individual identification, the study also found clear links between breathing patterns and body mass index (BMI), sleep-wake cycles, and mental health traits such as anxiety and depression. For example, people who scored higher on anxiety tests tended to have shorter inhalation periods. Importantly, the researchers noted that they merely know there is an association between breathing and mood, but they haven’t figured out the cause-and-effect direction — whether feeling anxious changes breathing, or a certain breathing pattern causes anxiety. If the latter is true, changing how we breathe could potentially improve mood.
However, the current device has drawbacks: it uses soft tubes under the nose that can be uncomfortable to wear and may slip during sleep, and it doesn’t track mouth breathing. The team is working on improving the device and further exploring the breathing-mood connection to unlock more practical applications.

二.(2026·甘肃张掖·二模)Duck syndrome (综合征) describes the tendency to appear calm and effortless on the surface while struggling intensely underneath. Stanford students originally created it to describe a specific campus dynamic: students struggling to survive the pressures of a fiercely competitive environment while projecting the image of someone who barely needs to try.
The defining feature of duck syndrome is the gap between what others see and what you actually experience. On the outside, you seem relaxed, social, successful, and in control. On the inside, you may feel exhausted, stressed out, anxious, or deeply uncertain about whether you belong. You might spend hours preparing for an exam but tell classmates you barely studied. You might feel crushed by a setback but respond with a shrug (耸肩).
Most explanations for duck syndrome center on social comparison, the natural human tendency to evaluate yourself by looking at the people around you. In competitive environments like elite universities or high-pressure workplaces, the people around you are often exceptionally talented. When you only see their polished results and never see their process, it’s easy to conclude that success comes more naturally to them than it does to you.
Social media amplifies this significantly. Carefully posted videos and pictures show highlights of other people’s lives: the internship (实习) offer, the vacation, the perfect certificate celebration. You rarely see the rejection emails, the failed attempts, or the breakdowns in between. This creates a biased picture of how other people are doing, which makes your own normal struggles feel abnormal by comparison.
The most effective counter to duck syndrome is honesty, both with yourself and with at least a few people around you. That sounds simple, but in environments where everyone performs effortlessness, being the first person to say “I’m struggling” takes genuine courage. When one person does it, though, it often gives others permission to do the same. Many universities have started addressing this, creating campaigns and peer programs that normalize struggle and make mental health conversations part of campus culture.
5.Which of the following is a feature of duck syndrome?
A.Be willing to ask for help. B.Minimize struggles.
C.Share inner feelings with friends. D.Rarely engage in comparison.
6.What does the underlined word “amplifies” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Challenges. B.Estimates. C.Removes. D.Expands.
7.What is the most effective approach to tackling duck syndrome?
A.Reveal struggles honestly. B.Celebrate achievements frequently.
C.Have mental health conversations. D.Build strong interpersonal relationships.
8.Which could be a suitable title for the text?
A.Hidden Fears: Exposing Campus Stress B.Silent Battles: Defeating Perfectionism
C.Acting Calm: Understanding Duck Syndrome D.Academic Competition: Getting Through Top Colleges
三.(2026·甘肃张掖·二模)Exciting news from the University of Waterloo! A team of dedicated researchers, led by PhD student Wei Wei, has made a remarkable discovery that holds the potential to transform plastic waste into acetic acid (醋酸) — the main ingredient of vinegar — using the power of sunlight.
Dr. Yimin Wu, a professor at the university, expressed their inspiring vision, stating, “Our goal was to solve the plastic pollution challenge by changing microplastic waste into high-value products using sunlight.” This mission is especially significant as plastic waste, particularly microplastics, has spread across ecosystems worldwide, raising serious concerns about its impact on both wildlife and human health.
With global plastic recycling rates still falling behind, this research team has stepped up to the challenge. They have developed a pioneering bio-inspired photocatalysis (光催化) method using special iron atoms (原子). This technique copies how certain fungi (真菌) break down organic matter, showing the creativity of nature.
When exposed to sunlight, the material drives a series of chemical reactions that transform plastic into acetic acid with high selectivity. The reaction takes place in water, which is particularly relevant for addressing plastic pollution in waters.
The study reveals that this method can effectively produce acetic acid from common plastics and it works well even with mixed plastic types. This adaptability makes the approach a promising alternative to traditional plastic burning, supporting more sustainable material use and offering a fresh strategy for upcycling.
Roy Brouwer, coauthor of the research, highlights the benefits of this innovation, noting, “Both from a business and societal perspective, the financial and economic benefits associated with this innovation seem promising.”
The research findings also open up exciting new avenues for directly addressing microplastics. By breaking down plastics at the chemical level, this process could play a crucial role in preventing the accumulation of microplastics in our water systems.
While still in the laboratory phase, the team is optimistic about the potential for scaling this solar-driven recycling method for broader environmental cleanup efforts.
9.What drove the research team’s initial study?
A.Rising recycling rates of plastic. B.Business profits from acetic acid.
C.Discovery of sunlight’s chemical power. D.Plastic pollution’s widespread harm.
10.What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A.The challenge of plastic recycling.
B.The potential of natural power.
C.The inspiration and nature of the method.
D.The role of iron atoms in the approach.
11.What can we learn about the photocatalysis method?
A.It can completely remove microplastics.
B.It is applicable to various plastics.
C.It breaks down plastics faster than burning.
D.It increases the cost of upcycling.
12.What does the team expect of their study?
A.Applying it on a large scale. B.Finding a market for acetic acid.

四. (2026·云南玉溪·二模)Some 50 km south of London, deep in the Sussex countryside, lies the world’s largest seed bank: the Millennium Seed Bank (MSB). It celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, with over 2.5 billion seeds collected from 40,000 species — not just in storage, but ready to be put to work restoring habitats and fighting extinction through a global partner network.
When the seed bank first opened in 2000, its objective was straightforward: to collect 10 percent of the world’s wild plant species, a target achieved in 2009. The focus now is on seed quality — concentrating on useful species to address biodiversity loss and climate change. This shift in focus comes as global environmental threats become more severe than ever before.
Each seed sent to the bank goes through a careful process of cleaning and drying before being stored in underground vaults (地窖) at -20℃, with some even preserved in liquid nitrogen at -196℃. These conditions can keep seeds alive for decades, even hundreds of years.
The MSB partners with over 100 countries, with China as a key partner. Since 2005, it has worked closely with the Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, home to Asia’s largest seed bank. “We helped China design the facilities during its building phase and have built a really productive relationship since then,” said Breman, a senior research leader from the MSB.“I was there last year to discuss the next stage of our partnership. China has world-class facilities and is doing remarkable work, and its progress is critical for the worldwide efforts.”
Despite these strong global partnerships, the challenge remains: scientists estimate that 45 percent of flowering plant species are now at risk of extinction. Climate change, pollution, and overfarming are speeding up biodiversity loss. The MSB and its partners continue to work tirelessly to protect these vulnerable plant species.
13.What is the initial goal of the Millennium Seed Bank?
A.To keep seeds alive for many years.
B.To include 10% of the world’s wild plant species.
C.To focus on seeds with higher quality and potential.
D.To collect seeds from 40,000 wild plant species by 2009.
14.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Where the MSB stores its seeds.
B.How seeds are processed and conserved.
C.How seeds are used in habitat restoration.
D.Why numerous plant species are facing extinction.
15.What can be inferred about China from Breman’s words?
A.It designed the facilities for the MSB.
B.It needs more efforts to be professional.
C.It has the most advanced seed-bank equipment.
D.It plays a vital role in international plant protection.
16.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To compare different seed banks in the world.
B.To call for urgent action to address biodiversity loss.
C.To introduce the MSB and its global conservation work.
D.To highlight China’s commitment to global seed conservation.
五. (2026·广东佛山·二模)If time outdoors in nature were a pill you could take, the label would read “take as needed”. A dose (剂量) of nature, whether it’s a short walk or a weeklong camping trip, reliably improves human well-being. But a new study found that the relationship between indoor nature and well-being is more complex.
Past research has confirmed that indoor nature, including potted plants and natural materials, reduces stress and increases feelings of restoration and belonging. But these studies either test people’s response to nature versus no nature or use subjective levels of greenery, such as small, medium, and large amounts of plants. “There’s a huge body of literature, but we can’t refer to it because no one’s using the same methods,” explained Eva Bianchi, a Stanford PhD graduate.
Bianchi’s team developed software called the Nature View Potential tool, which precisely calculates how much nature you see from a given point in a room. Using this tool along with 3D modeling, the researchers designed 11 virtual conference rooms with varying levels of nature views. They then assigned 412 participants randomly to these digital offices and measured their stress and restoration levels before and after completing challenging tasks under pressure.
A greenery dose of about 20% — meaning plants are visible about 20% of the time as one looks around — had the strongest response in restoration and sense of belonging for participants, the researchers found. However, when greenery increased to 60%, stress levels rose.
Plus, the study highlighted the significance of connection to nature. If participants reported an increased feeling of connection to nature, they harvested more well-being benefits. But without that connection, the greenery had little effect on them. “You don’t just put a bunch of nature inside the space,” said Bianchi. “You make sure that it will successfully make the occupants feel connected.”
Bianchi’s team are also looking closer at what nature means to individuals and how that might vary. The ultimate goal is to find ways for people to maintain the restorative qualities of nature even amid increasing urbanization. “How do you get the feeling of nature indoors?” she said. “That’s why it’s so important to have some kind of standard... so we can compare across studies and make progress faster.”
17.What was the main limitation of previous studies on indoor nature?
A.They used insufficient samples. B.They drew misleading conclusions.
C.They used wrong research procedures. D.They lacked a consistent measurement.
18.Why did the team assign the participants to virtual rooms?
A.To protect the participants’ privacy. B.To simplify the research procedure.
C.To examine the participants’ responses. D.To minimize the participants’ mental stress.
19.What is one implication of the study’s findings?
A.Getting greenery levels right.
B.Keeping nature views maximal.
C.Ensuring the diversity of indoor plants.
D.Filling rooms with indoor-friendly plants.
20.What does the last paragraph emphasize about the current research?
A.The potential applications. B.The anticipated difficulties.
C.The achievement of the goal. D.The significance of standards.
六. (2026·浙江宁波·二模)Despite decades of medical advances, detecting health-related molecule (分子) still relies on bodily liquids like blood, requiring blood draws from most patients, especially people with diabetes who need frequent finger pricks. However, researchers from the University of Chicago have developed a portable device named ABLE, which collects and detects molecules in the air. This 4×8-inch device is a potential game-changer for medicine and public health.
Detecting molecules in the air has long fallen behind liquid detection, mainly because target particles (微粒) are extremely dilute — there may be only one in a trillion. To solve this problem, the team turned air into liquid. The device draws in air, adds water vapor with a humidifier, and cools it to turn air into small drops. These drops trap particles and slide into a small container, making detection easy with common tools used for liquid analysis.
Early tests proved its effectiveness. It caught easily evaporated (挥发的) coffee vapor, detected glucose in breath, identified E. coli in the air, and found signs of inflammation (炎症) in mice with unhealthy gut bacteria. Obviously, it solved the problem of capturing molecules that evaporate easily — a major worry during the device’s development.
The device was first inspired by the need for non-invasive tests for premature babies in ICUs. These fragile babies are likely to have health problems, and repeated blood tests may put them in danger. Doctors hope the device can track health signs without taking blood, protecting these high-risk patients. It also shows promise for diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease, though the related breath signs first need to be recorded. The team plans to improve and make it smaller to create a wearable device for daily use.
Besides medical uses, this achievement may open the door to new physics research on air impurities and state changes of matter. As a new tool for detecting air chemistry, ABLE fills the space between air and liquid molecule analysis, creating possibilities for various new developments in healthcare and science.
21.Why did the researchers develop ABLE?
A.To change medicine and public health.
B.To take the place of blood tests in hospitals.
C.To reduce finger pricks for patients with diabetes.
D.To identify health molecules without liquid samples.
22.What can we infer about ABLE?
A.It is small and wearable for daily use. B.It has overcome a key technical challenge.
C.It has proved useful for newly born babies. D.It diagnoses inflammatory bowel disease easily.
23.Who will least likely benefit from ABLE?
A.A chemist. B.A psychologist. C.A physician. D.A physicist.
24.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A Tool for Bodily Liquid Analysis. B.A Tool for Airborne Particle Capture.
C.A Device for Air Molecule Detection. D.A Device for Non-Invasive Health Checks.
