What made her stand out was not a flashy startup app, but a new type of battery that could charge an electric vehicle to 80% in under five minutes — and withstand extreme cold down to -30°C without losing capacity. Chen’s journey began in a small village in Jiangxi province. Her father was a repairman for broken electric scooters. “I grew up surrounded by dead batteries,” she told reporters. “People would throw them away because they couldn’t handle winter. That waste haunted me.” At 18, she entered Tsinghua University’s materials science program. Most of her classmates aimed for well-paid jobs in finance or software. Chen chose battery research — a field many considered “unsexy.” Her breakthrough came during her PhD. Working with a team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, she experimented with a nickel-based cathode structure that had been dismissed by other researchers as unstable. After three years and over 1,200 failed prototypes, she found a way to stabilize it using a thin graphene coating. The result: a battery that charges 10 times faster than current lithium-ion packs and loses only 5% of its capacity after 5,000 cycles — compared to 30% loss for conventional batteries. The industry took notice. In January 2026, a major EV manufacturer signed a licensing deal with Chen’s university. By April, production plans were underway. Yet Chen remains grounded. “I’m not a genius,” she said. “I just refused to accept that ‘good enough’ was the best we could do. When someone says something is impossible, I want to find out for myself.” Her advice to young scientists: “Don’t chase the hottest field. Chase the problem that keeps you awake at night. For me, it was cold dead batteries. For you, it could be something else. But find it — and don’t let go.” 4. What motivated Chen Lu to study batteries? A. A well-paid job offer from a battery company. B. Her father’s work and the waste of dead batteries. C. A professor’s encouragement at Tsinghua University. D. A news report about EV charging stations. 5. How did Chen Lu solve the stability problem of the nickel-based cathode? A. She replaced nickel with a cheaper metal. B. She used a thin graphene coating to stabilize it. C. She increased the operating temperature. D. She gave up after 1,200 failed attempts. 6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Chen believes young scientists should follow market trends. B. Chen thinks persistence is more important than intelligence. C. Chen regrets not choosing a more profitable career. D. Chen advises students to avoid difficult problems. 7. Which of the following best describes Chen Lu’s attitude toward her achievement? A. Proud and boastful. B. Humble and persistent. C. Relieved and ready to retire. D. Disappointed by slow progress. 答案解析： 4. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。第二段她父亲修电瓶车，她“grew up surrounded by dead batteries... That waste haunted me”，B项正确。A项高薪工作、C项教授鼓励、D项新闻报道均不是主要原因。 5. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。第三段“she found a way to stabilize it using a thin graphene coating”，B项正确。A项替换镍、C项提高工作温度、D项放弃（她坚持了1,200次失败）均错误。 6. 答案：B 解析：推理判断题。最后一段她说“Don’t chase the hottest field. Chase the problem... don’t let go”，强调坚持比追逐热门更重要，B项正确。A项跟随市场趋势（相反）、C项后悔没选更赚钱的（未表达）、D项建议避免难题（相反）。 7. 答案：B 解析：观点态度题。她说“I’m not a genius... refused to accept that ‘good enough’ was the best”，态度谦逊而坚持，B项正确。A项骄傲自夸、C项如释重负准备退休、D项对缓慢进展失望均不符合。 C Deepfakes Get Smarter: Can You Still Trust Your Eyes? In late 2025, a video of a world leader announcing a surprise military action went viral — and was later exposed as a deepfake. By early 2026, the technology had evolved to a point where even forensic experts struggled to distinguish real from fake. The rapid improvement of AI-generated synthetic media has sparked urgent debates among technologists, lawmakers, and the public. Traditional deepfake detection relied on spotting visual artifacts: unnatural blinking, mismatched lighting, or inconsistent skin textures. However, a new generation of generative AI models — such as the recently released DeepFusion 4.0 — can create videos with near-perfect temporal consistency. “We’ve reached a turning point,” said Dr. Wei Song, a computer vision researcher at Zhejiang University. “The human eye is no longer a reliable detector. We need technical countermeasures and social awareness.” In response, several tech companies have launched detection tools based on digital watermarking and blockchain verification. In January 2026, the Chinese government introduced a regulation requiring all AI-generated content published online to carry an invisible watermark. The European Union followed with a similar proposal in March 2026. Critics argue that these measures are easily bypassed by editing software, while supporters see them as a necessary first step. The deeper problem, researchers say, is not technical but social. Even when a deepfake is exposed, the false memory lingers. A 2025 study from MIT found that people who watched a deepfake video continued to believe its content even after being told it was fake — especially if the fake aligned with their existing biases. “Disbelief doesn’t erase the emotional impact,” said Dr. Song. “We remember the image, not the correction.” What can ordinary people do? Experts recommend a simple rule: before sharing any shocking video, pause and verify from at least two independent sources. Also, be wary of videos that provoke strong anger or fear — those emotions are precisely what deepfakes are designed to exploit. As one commentator put it: “In the age of deepfakes, trust is not given. It is earned — slowly and carefully.” 8. What has changed in deepfake technology by early 2026? A. It has become easier to detect with the human eye. B. It can create videos with almost perfect consistency. C. It is now limited to still images only. D. It has been banned worldwide. 9. What does the underlined word “artifacts” in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A. Historical objects found in excavations. B. Flaws or irregularities in a digital image. C. Artistic features that enhance authenticity. D. Background music added to videos. 10. What is the main idea of paragraph 4? A. Technical solutions are completely effective against deepfakes. B. Social and psychological impacts of deepfakes are harder to undo. C. The EU and China have different approaches to regulation. D. Deepfakes are only dangerous for political leaders. 11. What would the author most likely discuss next after the last paragraph? A. A detailed guide to deepfake detection software. B. Examples of successful deepfake prosecutions. C. How schools can teach media literacy to students. D. The history of video editing technology. 答案解析： 8. 答案：B 解析：细节理解题。第二段“a new generation... can create videos with near-perfect temporal consistency”，B项正确。A项更易用肉眼检测（相反）、C项只限于静态图像（相反）、D项全球被禁（未提及）。 9. 答案：B 解析：词义猜测题。artifacts列举“unnatural blinking, mismatched lighting, or inconsistent skin textures”，指的是数字图像中的瑕疵或异常，B项正确。A项考古文物、C项增强真实性的艺术特征、D项背景音乐均不对。 10. 答案：B 解析：段落主旨题。第四段指出即使深度伪造被揭穿，“the false memory lingers”，MIT研究发现人们在被告知伪造后仍然相信内容，社会心理影响更难消除，B项正确。A项技术方案完全有效（相反）、C项欧盟和中国方法不同（文中相似）、D项只对政治领袖危险（太窄）。 11. 答案：C 解析：推断下文题。末段给出个人建议（暂停、验证来源、警惕情绪），接下来最合乎逻辑的是讨论如何在学校教授媒体素养，C项正确。A项深度伪造检测软件指南、B项成功起诉案例、D项视频编辑技术历史均不是最直接的自然延伸。 D Space Exploration: A New Era of Rivalry or Cooperation? On July 20, 2025, the world watched as China’s Tianwen-3 mission successfully landed a rover on Mars. Just six weeks later, NASA’s Perseverance rover drilled a new sample that hinted at ancient microbial life. For a moment, the two missions seemed to be in quiet competition. But behind the headlines, a less publicized event was unfolding: Chinese and American scientists were sharing orbital data to avoid collision risks — a small but significant act of cooperation. The history of space exploration is a seesaw between rivalry and partnership. The Cold War gave us the Space Race — a competition that, for all its tensions, produced rapid technological leaps. The post-Cold War era brought the International Space Station (ISS), a symbol of what nations could achieve together. Now, as the ISS approaches retirement (planned for 2030), and as China’s Tiangong station becomes fully operational, the world faces a choice: a new space race or a new age of collaboration? Proponents of competition argue that rivalry drives innovation. The race to the Moon in the 1960s pushed computing, materials science, and telecommunications forward at an unprecedented pace. Today, competition between the US Artemis program (aiming to return humans to the Moon) and China’s International Lunar Research Station (planned for the 2030s) could produce similar breakthroughs. “When nations compete, they don’t cut corners,” says Dr. Laura Greaves, a space policy analyst. “They push harder, spend more, and move faster.” Yet critics warn that unchecked competition carries grave risks. Space debris, weaponization, and conflicting claims to lunar resources could lead to conflict. “The difference between the 1960s and today is that we now have thousands of satellites and multiple actors,” says Dr. Zhang Wei, a Beijing-based space law expert. “A collision or a misunderstanding could escalate quickly. Cooperation isn’t just idealistic — it’s practical.” The most promising path may be a hybrid model: competition in science and engineering, but cooperation in safety and data sharing. The Artemis Accords (signed by 45 countries, though notably not China) and the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space provide frameworks. In 2026, a new proposal called the “Lunar Communications Protocol” has gained traction — a joint effort by China, the US, and Russia to standardize radio frequencies around the Moon to prevent interference. As one astronaut famously said from orbit: “It’s one world from up here.” Whether we can remember that back on Earth may determine not just who reaches the stars first — but whether we reach them at all. 12. What is the best title for this passage? A. The End of the Space Race B. Tiangong vs. ISS: Who Wins? C. Space Exploration: Rivalry, Cooperation, or Both? D. How to Avoid Space Debris 13. What is the main function of the second paragraph? A. To provide a detailed timeline of space history. B. To contrast past patterns with today’s choice. C. To criticize the Cold War space race. D. To explain how the ISS was built. 14. According to the passage, what is the advantage of the “hybrid model”? A. It eliminates all competition between nations. B. It allows competition in science while cooperating on safety. C. It gives China full control over lunar communications. D. It replaces the UN space committee. 15. Where is this text most likely taken from? A. A science fiction novel. B. A government report. C. A news and analysis magazine. D. An instruction manual for astronauts. 答案解析： 12. 答案：C 解析：最佳标题题。全文围绕太空探索应该竞争还是合作展开，讨论了竞争的好处、合作的必要性和混合模型，C项“Rivalry, Cooperation, or Both?”准确概括。A项太空竞赛的终结（片面）、B项天宫vs国际空间站（片面）、D项如何避免太空碎片（细节）均不适合做标题。 13. 答案：B 解析：段落功能/结构题。第二段先回顾冷战时期的太空竞赛和后冷战时代的国际合作，然后指出“now... the world faces a choice”，功能是将过去的模式与当前的选择进行对比，B项正确。A项提供详细时间线（不是详细，是对比）、C项批评冷战太空竞赛、D项解释如何建国际空间站均不准确。 14. 答案：B 解析：细节推理题。第五段“hybrid model: competition in science and engineering, but cooperation in safety and data sharing”，B项正确。A项消除所有竞争、C项给中国完全控制、D项取代联合国空间委员会均错误。 15. 答案：C 解析：文章出处题。文章具有时事性、引用多方观点、平衡分析，最可能出自新闻分析杂志，C项正确。A项科幻小说、B项政治竞选演讲、D项宇航员手册均不符合文体特征。 1 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026 高考英语阅读理解预测 第六组 第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Tiangong Space Exhibition – Beijing Science Museum The Beijing Science Museum is proud to present “Tiangong: China’s Home in Space” , a special exhibition running from July 1 to September 30, 2026.
