2026年4月全国各地二模卷阅读理解CD篇精选32套专项练习-2026届高三英语三轮冲刺

2026年4月全国各地二模卷阅读理解CD篇精选32套 64篇答案及解析 01 浙江省杭州市2026届高三第二学期教学质量检测（二模） C篇 本文介绍了科学家为满足消费者对“清洁标签”食品的需求，从腰果壳中提取液体（CNSL）作为天然防腐剂，并通过实验证明其能有效抑制牛肉中细菌生长、延长保鲜期。尽管还需进一步研究，但这为食品防腐提供了新思路。 28. C根据第一段：“consumers have increasingly sought ‘clean-label’ foods... driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to... the cashew nut shell.”（消费者越来越追求“清洁标签”食品……促使科学家寻找安全、天然的防腐剂。他们将注意力转向了腰果壳。）因此，研究腰果壳的目的是寻找人工防腐剂的天然替代品。 29. D根据第三段：“During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable counts and specific spoilage organisms...”（储存期间进行了详细的微生物评估，以量化总活菌数和特定腐败菌……）随后指出CNSL处理的肉细菌生长显著减少，因此评估的核心是CNSL对细菌的抑制效果。C选项“pH和水活性的变化”属于理化分析，不是微生物评估的主要焦点。 30. D根据第四段：“The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection... Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process...”（浓度越高效果越强，2.0%溶液提供极佳保护……即使在室温下也能有效延缓变质过程。）这说明CNSL的浓度与保鲜效果（储存寿命）密切相关。A“随时间改善肉质”错误；B“在室温下效果最好”文中未比较；C“加速变质”与事实相反。 31. B根据最后一段：“The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture... Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh...”（研究者指出需要进一步研究……尽管如此，这项研究为自然保鲜打开了一扇窗。）“需要更多研究”体现了谨慎，“打开一扇窗”体现了乐观，因此态度是谨慎乐观。A“完全确信”过于绝对；C“犹豫怀疑”不符合；D“中立客观”不准确。 D篇 本文指出人们常以两种错误方式解读科幻作品：一是“折磨枢纽问题”（忽略故事警示，只关注科技本身），二是“蓝图问题”（将科幻视为精确的未来模型）。作者强调，科幻不是地图或处方，而是一种重新审视现实的世界观，未来由人们主动塑造。 32. D第二段指出“Torment Nexus Problem”是指人们关注科幻中的未来科技，却忽略了该科技在原故事中往往是痛苦的来源。随后举例：Peter Thiel 以《指环王》中导致邪恶疯狂的“Palantir”命名公司，而 Tolkien 的本意是警示这种技术。因此，Palantir 的例子是为了说明科幻故事的真实信息常常被忽视。A项“托尔金的作品启发了现实中的邪恶”曲解文意；B项“命名对公司形象重要”无关；C项“科幻是发明家的实用指南”与原文相反。 33. B第三段明确：“the mistaken idea that sci-fi provides an exact model for what is coming next and if we copy what happens in sci-fi, we will arrive in a glorious future.”（错误地认为科幻为未来提供了精确模型，照搬科幻就能迎来美好未来。）因此，“Blueprint Problem”是指将科幻视为完美的未来模型。A项“让机器人取代人类工作”、C项“期望作者设计真实技术”、D项“在太空中偏爱机器人而非宇航员”均不准确。 34. C最后一段：“Science fiction isn’t a map or a prescription. Instead, it is a world view, a way of approaching problems with the underlying assumption that things don’t have to be the way they are.”（科幻不是地图或处方，而是一种世界观，一种以“事情不必是现在这样”为前提来解决问题的方式。）这暗示科幻是一种重新审视现实的思维方式。A项“科幻揭示事物本质”过于宽泛；B项“科幻是未来的严格指南”与原文相反；D项“科幻预测具体技术结果”也是错误解读。 35. A全文围绕人们对科幻的两种常见误读（Torment Nexus Problem和Blueprint Problem）展开，并指出正确理解科幻的方式。A项“科幻的误读陷阱” 准确概括了核心内容。B项“科幻的隐藏危险”范围过窄；C项“科幻中的道德困境”未涉及；D项“科幻的技术幻想”片面。 02 浙江省温州市普通高中2026届高三第二次适应性考试（二模） C篇 本文探讨了美国城市面临的“办公室空置”与“住房短缺”双重危机，以及通过将空置办公楼改造成住宅来一举两得的解决方案。以华盛顿特区的一个大型改造项目为例，说明了改造中兼顾利润与社会需求（如设置经济适用房）的平衡。专家认为，虽然改造无法完全解决住房短缺，但在市中心交通便利区域提供住房仍有积极意义。 28. A第二段明确指出：“Cities like D.C. are now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other.”（像华盛顿特区这样的城市正押注于将空置办公室改造成住宅，让一场危机帮助解决另一场危机。）因此，这些城市正在尝试重新利用空置办公室。B“拆除未用建筑”、C“在郊区建住房”、D“鼓励居家办公”均不符合。 29. D第三段描述该项目包括泳池、狗公园等豪华设施，租金约4000美元/月，但同时“60 units will be set aside as affordable housing”（60套将作为经济适用房）。开发商说：“We would love to do more... but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.”（我们想做更多，但资本追求回报，这是我们能承受的最大限度。）这说明项目在追求利润与满足社会需求（经济适用房）之间取得了平衡。A“需要结构改变”与原文“overall structure will remain the same”矛盾；B“针对低收入家庭”不准确，仅部分；C“政府资助”未提及。 30. A第四段Tracy Loh指出：“The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide”（短缺规模远超改造能提供的），但她认为“these projects still matter... it does kill two birds with one stone”（这些项目仍然重要……确实一举两得）。她承认改造不能完全解决问题，但认为在中心区域提供住房是现实可行的。B“深远的”过于夸张；C“要求高的”不准确；D“短视的”与她的肯定态度相反。 31. C全文围绕将空置办公室改造成住宅这一核心主题展开，从问题背景、具体项目到专家评价。C选项“办公室正变成住宅” 简洁准确地概括了主要内容。A“城市陷入危机”过于宽泛；B“住房需求亟待更多”只涉及一面；D“制造业获得新生”只是类比，非主题。 D篇 本文介绍了一项新研究发现，小鸡也能像人类一样将“bouba”与圆形、“kiki”与尖形相关联。这表明声音与形状的联想并非人类语言独有，可能源于物体本身的物理特性（如圆物体落地产生低频连续声），具有进化意义，帮助动物快速理解环境。 32. B第一段末尾指出新研究发现“baby chickens make these same pairings”（小鸡也做出同样的关联）。第二段详细描述了实验过程：播放“bouba”或“kiki”录音，观察小鸡对圆形和尖形面板的反应。因此，研究焦点是小鸡的声音-形状关联。A“人类语言起源”是旧理论；C“动物对形状的识别”过于宽泛；D“鸟类大脑-行为关系”未体现。 33. C第二段数据：听到“bouba”时，80%小鸡先走向圆形，探索圆形平均3分钟，尖形不到1分钟；听到“kiki”时相反。这体现了小鸡对不同声音的探索偏好（选择先探索哪种形状、花费更多时间）。A“声音定位”、B“反应速度”、D“匹配准确率”均未直接体现。 34. D第三段首先排除了“嘴形模仿”假说（因为小鸡不会说话）。然后提出新解释：可能源于物体本身的物理特性（圆物体落地产生低频连续声）。因此本段主要是对效应的可能解释。A“历史背景”、B“潜在应用”、C“被忽视的局限”均未涉及。 35. C最后一句Loconsole说：“Even if language is unique to humans, that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.”（即使语言是人类独有的，并不意味着它来自人类独有的能力。）这表明这种声音-形状联想能力在物种间是共有的。A“起源于鸟类”过于绝对；B“显示进化趋势”虽有关联，但Loconsole更强调跨物种共享；D“对语言出现至关重要”是旧理论。 03 江西省重点中学2026届高三4月八校联考 C篇 这是一篇议论文，核心是探讨后真相时代新闻业的信任危机，呈现其现状、成因，并提出重建媒体信任的方向与挑战。 28. B 主旨大意题。第二段核心观点为媒体信任度急剧下降。段落核心句 “Trust in media has declined sharply”，后续盖洛普数据、记者伦理评价低等内容均为该观点的支撑细节。A. “道德标准下降”仅为信任度下降的一个次要表现，非段落主旨；C. 原文无 “新闻产出量下降” 相关表述，无中生有；D. 原文未涉及 “媒体影响力” 的内容，属于过度推断。 29. B 推理判断题。Silvio Waisbord 指出信任不仅和记者提供的事实相关，还取决于公众如何使用信息，这一观点隐含建立信任不能仅靠提供事实，需要多维度发力。因此选项 B “建立媒体信任的过程相当复杂”的表述与原文逻辑完全契合。选项A “仅靠事实就能建立媒体信任”，该选项与原文 “Simply providing facts does not automatically build trust”（单纯提供事实无法自动建立信任）的核心逻辑完全相反。选项C “政治事实核查具有很高的价值”，原文明确提到 “this ‘political fact-checking’ is not neutral”（这种 “政治事实核查” 并非中立），无任何依据支撑其 “高价值”，不符合原文。 30. A 细节理解题。第五段“One key method is the traditional, pre-publication fact-checking practiced by outlets like The New Yorker. This process is a form of re-reporting, verifying sources and context. ”出版前事实核查的核心是重新开展报道、核验信息来源与背景，这一特性决定了它的核心价值，因此选项 A “它能确保信息来源的可靠性”的表述与原文逻辑完全契合。选项 B “它能完全规避政治偏见”，“completely” 一词表述过于绝对，原文明确指出 “政治事实核查并非中立”，不存在能完全规避政治偏见的核查方式。选项 C “它能减少出版后的错误”，减少出版后错误只是该核查方式的附加效果，并非其被重视的核心原因。选项 D “它能简化报道流程”，原文表明该核查是重新报道、核验细节的过程，会让报道流程更严谨，而非简化流程。 31. D 主旨大意题。全文开篇点明新闻业从 “信任黄金时代” 陷入后真相时代的信任危机，接着分析危机的现状与成因，随后探讨重建媒体信任的路径与挑战，整体围绕 “新闻业信任流失” 与 “寻求重建信任” 的主线展开，因此选项 D “新闻业：信任的流失与追寻”精准概括全文主旨。选项 A “后真相时代：神话与现实”，仅聚焦开篇提及的时代背景，未涵盖 “媒体信任” 这一全文核心主题。选项 B “事实核查：希望与信任”，事实核查只是重建信任的手段之一，无法概括全文关于信任危机与重建的完整内容。选项 C “新闻业：风险与重建”，表述过于宽泛，未精准指向 “信任” 这一贯穿全文的核心议题。 D篇 这是一篇说明文，核心介绍宾夕法尼亚大学的新研究：推翻了 “泡沫气泡微观层面固定不动” 的传统认知，发现泡沫保持整体形状时内部气泡持续运动，且该运动的数学原理与 AI 深度学习高度契合，同时阐述了这一发现对自适应材料、生命结构研究的重要意义。 32. B 细节理解题。第一段首句明确列举 “soap bubbles, shaving cream, foamed cream toppings and food mixtures such as mayonnaise” 等日常生活中常见的泡沫类物品，通过举例直观展现泡沫的常见性，与选项 B “By giving examples” 完全契合。选项A“列举数据”、 C “引用专家观点”、D “定义术语”在第一段均无对应表述，属于无中生有。 33. A 细节理解题。传统对泡沫气泡的认知核心依据是其固定位置。第一段明确提到 “scientists thought foams behaved like glass, with their tiny bubbles fixed in disordered but unchanging positions”，后续 “foams often act like solids” 的特性描述也是基于 “气泡固定” 这一核心前提。选项 B “持续运动” 是新研究发现，并非传统认知；选项 C “整体形状” 是泡沫的外在表现，而非传统认知的决定因素; 选项 D “数学规律” 是新研究中揭示的关联点，与传统理解无关. 34. D 推理判断题。第四段提及 “energy landscapes” 是为了强调泡沫和人工智能有着相同的规律遵循逻辑。文中先说明将人工智能置于平缓的 “能量景观” 中能使其更好地适配新任务，紧接着指出 “Foam bubbles act similarly”，即泡沫气泡也会在有多种稳定排布的广域空间中自由移动，而非固定在某一位置，作者提及该概念的核心目的是通过人工智能的这一特性，类比说明泡沫与人工智能在行为逻辑上的一致性，二者遵循相同的规律，与选项 D 逻辑一致。选项 A “解释人工智能的基础训练方法”，原文仅提及深度学习的训练方法是梯度下降，该概念并非用于解释 AI 基础训练方法；选项 B “强调人工智能的新任务适配能力”，这是人工智能在 “能量景观” 中的表现，并非作者提及该概念的最终目的；选项 C “分析人工智能的纠错机制”，原文中梯度下降才是实现人工智能误差减少、纠错的方法，与 “能量景观” 无关。 35. C 观点态度题。Crocker 认为研究发现具有广泛的研究价值。最后一段提到该发现 “could reshape how we think about adaptive materials” 且 “may also help understand living structures like cell cytoskeletons”，可见其覆盖材料科学、生命科学等多个领域，具有广泛应用前景，与选项 C 契合。选项 A “需要更多证据”，原文未提及 Crocker 对研究证据充分性的质疑；选项 B “改写传统物理学” 表述过于绝对，新研究是 “挑战传统认知” 而非 “改写物理学”；选项 D “解决所有材料问题” 中 “all” 一词极端，原文仅强调其研究意义，未提及 “解决所有问题”。 04 湖南省新高考教学教研联盟（长郡中学20校）2026届高三下学期第二次联考 C篇 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍变色龙效应的定义、相关实验、产生原因及过度模仿可能带来的负面影响。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The chameleon effect is the non-conscious mirror of another person’s gestures or mannerisms. (变色龙效应是无意识地模仿他人的手势或举止。)”可知，变色龙效应是指无意识地模仿他人的行为。故选A项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The second part involved half of the participants being mimicked by an experimenter. The results showed that those who were mimicked rated the experimenter more favorably. (第二部分是一半的参与者被实验者模仿。结果显示，那些被模仿的人对实验者的评价更高。)”可知，被模仿的参与者对实验者的评价更高。故选C项。 【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Why do we do it? To understand the empathetic theory, think about how you would respond if your close friend tells you he has just passed an exam. If your friend tells you in an excited manner, chances are you respond in a similar tone. (我们为什么会这样做？为了理解共情理论，想想如果你的好朋友告诉你他刚通过了考试，你会如何回应。如果你的朋友以兴奋的方式告诉你，你很可能会以类似的语气回应。)”可知，作者用朋友分享考试成绩的例子是为了支持共情理论这一观点。故选D项。 【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Some people carry this trait to the extreme, causing them to completely change in different social settings. These people can lose their sense of self. (有些人将这种特质推向极端，导致他们在不同的社交场合完全改变。这些人会失去自我意识。)”可推断，过度模仿的人可能无法保持自己的个人身份。故选C项。 D篇 【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍一种基于声波（次声）的创新灭火技术，解释其原理、优势及应用进展，有望在野火扑救中发挥重要作用。 【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“A wildfire burns in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb, moving quickly from dry brush toward a cluster of homes.(一场野火在洛杉矶郊区的山上燃烧，迅速从干枯的灌木丛向一片房屋蔓延。)”可知，作者通过描绘一个场景引入话题。故选A项。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Sound waves can stop a fire by pushing oxygen molecules away from the fuel, preventing the fire from getting the air it needs to continue its burning reaction.(声波可以通过将氧分子推离燃料来灭火，阻止火焰获得维持燃烧反应所需的空气。)”可知，声波灭火的关键是使氧气远离燃烧的燃料。故选B项。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“However, Albert Simeoni, a fire protection expert, points out the real challenge: scaling up the technology without creating damaging sound effects. Sonic solves this challenge by using infrasound (次声).(然而，消防专家Albert Simeoni指出了真正的挑战：扩大该技术应用的同时不产生破坏性音效。Sonic公司通过使用次声解决了这一难题。)”可知，该技术解决了早期声波方法中的一个关键问题。故选D项。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“This type of sound-based fire control may soon play a vital role in fighting wildfires. Understanding this requires knowing fire’s nature.(这种基于声波的灭火技术可能很快将在扑灭野火中发挥关键作用。)”以及全文围绕声波灭火创新技术展开介绍可知，文章主要介绍一种创新的声波消防技术。故选B项。 05 辽宁省名校联盟2026届高三4月联合考试 C篇 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文﹐介绍了精确的基因修改猪的肾脏移植到猴子体内后存活超过两年的科学突破，解释了其中的技术原理(CRISPR基因敲除和插入)、面临的挑战以及对未来的意义。 28.D【解析】作出判断推理。第一段指出这是“world first”和“significant milestone for xenotransplantation(异种器官移植)”,说明这是异种器官移植领域的重大进展。D项正确。A项“证明猪是理想捐赠者”过于绝对,文中只说这是重要一步;B项“完全解决了器官排斥问题”与最后一段“there are still hurdlles”矛盾;C项“CRISPR是唯一基因编辑方法”无中生有。故选D项。 29.D【解析】理解具体信息。第二段详细说明了基因改造:他们“‘knocked out’three pig genes”(剔除猪基因)和“added seven human genes”(加人人类基因)。D项准确概括了这一过程。A项“使用新生猪肾脏”未提;B项“只用更强免疫抑制药”与原文“Beyond the genetic modifications ... immunosuppressive drugs（免疫抑制药物)”不符﹐基因改造是基础;C项“特殊无菌环境”未提。故选D项。 30.D【解析】词义猜测。最后一段“experts caution that there are still hurdles”后提到长期影响需要研究,伦理问题需要考虑﹐这些都是需要克服的困难。因此 hurdles意为“障碍﹑挑战”。D项“Challenges”正确。A项Steps(步骤)B项 Benefits(益处)、C项Changes(变化)均不符合语境。故选D项。 31.A【解析】作出判断推理。作者在文中既肯定了这项突破的巨大成功,也提到了未来仍需面对的挑战(如长期影响研究﹑伦理问题),但最后强调这一成就无疑让“无限供应器官”的梦想更近一步,可能拯救数百万生命。这种既看到困难又对未来充满信心的态度﹐体现了“谨慎乐观”。A项“Cautiously optimistic(谨慎乐观)”最准确。B项Highly doubtful(高度怀疑)、C项Totally indifferent（完全不关心)、D项Entirely negative(完全否定)均不符合。故选A项。 D篇 【语篇导读】本文是一篇研究报告类的说明文﹐解释了为什么人们容易被偷听到的单方通话吸引。研究发现,大脑会自动填补缺失的另一半对话,这种“心智化”过程消耗注意力,也解释了为什么短信容易产生误解。 32.B【解析】作出判断推理。第三段指出,听 halfalogue时,“participants' brains showed significantly more activities in the regions associated with social reasoning”,即大脑中与社会推理相关的区域更活跃。B项“激活大脑的社会推理中枢”正确。A项“比完整对话干扰小”与事实相反;C项“作为无意义背景噪音处理”与研究发现相反;D项“提高专注力”无依据。故选B项。 33.C【解析】理解具体信息。第四段最后一句指出:“Our brain fills in the missing emotional cues，and often it fills them in incorrectly”,大脑会错误地填补缺失的情感线索,导致误解。C项正确。A项“打字太快”B项“更喜欢打电话”、D项“缺乏对话结构”均未提及。故选C项。 34.A【解析】理解具体信息。第四段第一句“This discovery has interesting implications.”后﹐作者举了两个例子:开放式办公室难以集中注意力和短信容易误解。这是用现实生活中的例子来解释研究发现的意义。A项“通过举例说明现实影响”正确。B项“与先前理论比较”、C项“列举实验数据”、D项“描述研究过程细节”均不符合。故选A项。 35.C【解析】理解主旨要义。全文围绕“为什么我们忍不住偷听”这一核心问题展开,从科学研究角度解释原因。C项“为什么我们会被电话中的对话所吸引”最能概括主旨。A项“如何提高注意力”是建议类,本文是解释现象;B项“智能手机的负面影响”范围太大且偏离主题;D项“独白与对话的区别”只是引入话题的方式,非核心。故选C项。 06 浙江省宁波市2026届高三第二学期高考模拟考试（二模） C篇 本文介绍了一项研究发现，通过戏剧表演的方式学习莎士比亚作品，能有效提升儿童的词汇量、写作质量以及情感理解能力，尤其是表演让儿童能够代入角色，表达更丰富的情感。 28. A第一段明确指出：“Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out.”（莎士比亚确实有益于儿童的读写能力和情感发展，但前提是他们能表演出来。）第二段进一步说明：“a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare”（基于戏剧的莎士比亚教学方法），即通过表演来学习。因此，研究鼓励儿童表演莎士比亚的作品。B项“写自己的原创剧本”、C项“背诵莎士比亚台词”、D项“观看专业舞台表演”均不是研究鼓励的核心方式。 29. A第三段描述了研究对象（Year 5 pupils，即9-10岁学生）、分组方式（目标组和对照组）、阅读内容（《罗密欧与朱丽叶》选段）、写作任务（以罗密欧身份写信），以及两组的不同处理（目标组参与30分钟戏剧活动，对照组没有）。这些都是实验的具体过程。B项“背景”、C项“目的”、D项“意义”均不是本段主要内容。 30. B第五段O'Hanlon说：“she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing”（她最惊讶的是孩子们写作中体现出的情感理解），以及“they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly”（他们表现出更深的共情，更生动地表达情感）。这指的是情感的深度。A项“行文流畅度”、C项“词汇复杂度”、D项“情节想象力”均不是她最惊讶的方面。 31. B全文核心是：通过戏剧表演（即“做中学”）来学习莎士比亚，效果远好于单纯的阅读或写作。研究结果显示目标组（参与表演）在词汇、写作质量和情感表达上均优于对照组。A项“熟能生巧”强调重复练习，文中未突出；C项“阅读使人充实”只强调阅读；D项“语言是心灵的声音”虽与表达情感有关，但未概括“表演”这一核心。因此B最符合。 D篇 本文指出海洋生物并非自由无阻，它们有特定栖息地，人类建造的海洋结构可能阻碍其迁徙。通过澳大利亚绿锯鳐被岸边建筑阻挡的例子，作者提出需要为海洋生物设计类似陆地上的“野生动物通道”，以保护它们的生存和迁徙路线。 32. D第一段先提出一个常见假设：“海洋无边无际，鱼和其他海洋生物可以自由游动不受限制”，随后用“That assumption, however, is mistaken.”直接反驳。因此，作者是通过挑战一个普遍认知来引出问题。A项“通过详细描述研究发现”未体现；B项“通过描述自然场景”不准确；C项“通过回应公众关切”未提及。 33. B第二段明确说：“the construction did harm the critically endangered green sawfish—they were unable to pass around the barrier.”（它们无法绕过这个障碍物。）因此，该结构阻挡了绿锯鳐的路径。A项“提供了新栖息地”、C项“吸引了新物种”、D项“将绿锯鳐驱入深水”均与原文不符。 34. D第三段指出陆地上的野生动物通道很常见，但“little attention has been paid to the idea of wildlife crossings designed to help ocean animals”（很少人关注为海洋动物设计的通道）。第四段进一步说明海洋障碍物会导致孤立和灭绝，Lear对绿锯鳐的未来表示担忧。因此她暗示海洋动物急需类似的通道。A项“减少了陆地交通事故”未提及；B项“最终取代海洋障碍”无依据；C项“破坏了陆地动物栖息地”与事实相反。 35. A文章从陆地野生动物通道（如绿色桥梁）的成功经验，引申到海洋也需要类似措施来帮助海洋生物穿越人类建筑。标题应涵盖从陆地到海洋的延伸。A选项“野生动物通道：从陆地到海洋” 准确概括了这一主题。B项“当海洋生物处于危险时”过于宽泛；C项“迷路的锯鳐”只涉及例子；D项“海洋结构：无害”与文章观点相反。 07 辽宁省大连市2026届高三4月综合模拟考试（一模） C篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了气候变化导致干旱，迫使法国奶牛场主改用玉米饲料，研究发现这会影响奶酪的营养价值和感官品质，并探讨了不同饲料对奶酪的影响。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“But as climate change causes more severe droughts, some dairy producers are shifting to alternative feeds like corn for their cows.(但随着气候变化导致更严重的干旱，一些奶制品生产商正在转向使用玉米等替代饲料来喂养奶牛。)”可知，选择替代饲料的根本原因是气候变化。故选A。 【29题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段中“For almost five months, Bouchon and colleagues at France’s National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment tested 40 dairy cows of two breeds by creating a dry condition and supplementing grass with corn in varying amounts. The researchers regularly sampled the cows’ milk and analyzed its fatty acids, proteins, and beneficial microbes(在近五个月的时间里，Bouchon和他在法国国家农业、食品和环境研究所的同事们通过创造干燥条件并以不同量的玉米补充草料，对两个品种的40头奶牛进行了测试。研究人员定期采集牛奶样本，分析其中的脂肪酸、蛋白质和有益微生物)”可知，本段主要介绍了研究的实验设计和方法。故选D。 【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“The team found that a corn-based diet did not reduce milk yield and even led to an estimated reduction in methane(研究小组发现，以玉米为主的饲料并未减少牛奶产量，甚至导致甲烷的估计减少)”可知，以玉米为主的饲料可能使牛奶产量保持不变或有所增加，而“methane(甲烷)”的排放量是减少的。又根据第四段中“However, cheese from grass-fed cows was richer and more flavorful(然而，草饲奶牛的奶酪更丰富、更美味)”和“Grass-based diets also resulted in cheese with more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids(以草为基础的饮食也导致奶酪含有更多对心脏有益的omega-3脂肪酸)”可知，“flavor(风味)”和Omega-3是草饲的优势。因此，相对于草饲，玉米饲料可能维持或增加的方面是“Yield of milk(产奶量)”。故选B。 【31题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“It is unbelievable that climate change can affect cows’ diets, which in turn affect cheese’s nutritional value and sensory qualities(令人难以置信的是，气候变化会影响奶牛的饮食，进而影响奶酪的营养价值和感官品质)”可知，文章介绍了气候变化导致干旱，迫使法国奶牛场主改用玉米饲料，研究发现这会影响奶酪的营养价值和感官品质，并探讨了不同饲料对奶酪的影响。因此，本文的目的是为了解释气候变化对奶酪的影响。故选C。 D篇 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了“左脑/右脑理论”是错误观念，指出其过于简化且受欢迎的原因。 【32题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段中“However, the idea that people are either left-brained or right-brained is a myth. Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, modern brain research hasn’t found any conclusive evidence of left or right brain dominance.(然而，认为人们要么是左脑型，要么是右脑型的想法是一个myth。尽管我们显然都有不同的个性和才能，但现代大脑研究还没有发现任何关于左脑或右脑占主导地位的确凿证据。)”可知，现代大脑研究并未发现左脑或右脑占主导地位的确凿证据，所以“人是左脑型或右脑型”这种说法是错误的，myth意为“错误的观念”。故选A。 【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Math, for instance, which requires logical thought, is generally associated with the left brain, but it is also a genuinely creative activity. So is a gifted mathematician left-brained or right-brained?(例如，数学需要逻辑思维，通常与左脑有关，但它也是一项真正有创造力的活动。那么，一个有天赋的数学家是左脑型还是右脑型呢？)”可知，一个有天赋的数学家既需要逻辑思维（左脑功能），也需要创造力（右脑功能），说明他具有综合的能力。故选D。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Yet the real division of labor in the brain is far more complex than the claim that “the left brain is for logic and the right is for creativity”.(然而，大脑中真正的分工远比“左脑负责逻辑，右脑负责创造力”这一说法复杂得多。)”可知，左脑/右脑理论过于简化了大脑的实际分工。故选B。 【35题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Then, why is the myth so popular? It satisfies our desire to label ourselves as simple “types”. This works much like the Barnum Effect, a famous psychological phenomenon: people easily believe general, positive personality descriptions — like those from MBTI tests — are true and accurate.(那么，为什么这个神话如此受欢迎呢？它满足了我们将自己归类为简单“类型”的愿望。这很像著名的心理现象巴纳姆效应：人们很容易相信一般性的、积极的人格描述——比如MBTI测试中的描述——是真实准确的。)”可知，左脑/右脑理论受欢迎是因为它满足了人们将自己简单归类的心理需求。故选A。 08 安徽省A10联盟2026届高三4月质量评估 C篇 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍科学家研究利用月球土壤进行3D打印，探索在月球就地取材建造设施的技术与前景。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, it bonded strongly with alumina-silicate ceramic. The two substances formed stable crystals together, which improved mechanical strength and the material’s resistance to sudden temperature changes.(然而，它与铝硅酸盐陶瓷结合得非常牢固。这两种物质共同形成了稳定的晶体，提高了材料的机械强度和抗温度骤变能力。)”可知，模拟月壤与铝硅酸盐陶瓷结合效果极佳，这是在不同表面打印的关键发现。故选C项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Because the moon has an extreme environment, including vacuum, fine dust and sharp temperature differences, it is difficult to fully recreate such conditions in a laboratory. This means that more testing is needed before the technology can be used in real missions.(由于月球具有极端环境，包括真空、微尘和剧烈温差，实验室很难完全重现这些条件。这意味着该技术在用于实际任务前需要更多测试。)”可知，实验室环境无法完全匹配太空环境，因此需要更多试验。故选B项。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In addition, the findings may have value beyond space exploration. Learning to manufacture useful products with limited resources could help improve sustainability on Earth and offer new solutions to material shortages in the future.(此外，这些发现的价值可能超出太空探索范畴。学会用有限资源制造有用物品，有助于提升地球的可持续性，并为未来的材料短缺提供新解决方案。)”可知，这项技术对地球的主要益处是教会人们用有限资源进行生产。故选D项。 【31题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Transporting heavy materials into space is costly and time-consuming, so scientists are exploring ways to make use of resources already available on the moon. (将重型物资运送到太空成本高昂且耗时，因此科学家们正在探索利用月球上现有资源的方法。)”和第二段研究利用模拟月壤进行3D打印的内容可知，文章围绕在月球利用本土土壤开展建造展开，因此“在月球建造：利用当地土壤”最适合作为标题。故选A项。 D篇 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了空气中二氧化碳（CO₂）水平上升不仅改变气候，还可能影响人体健康。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“This finding is especially concerning for children and teenagers, who will face the longest exposure to higher CO₂ levels throughout their lives.(这一发现尤其令儿童和青少年担忧，他们将在其一生中面临最长时间的更高二氧化碳水平暴露。)”可知，儿童和青少年可能更容易受到二氧化碳上升的影响是因为他们将与之共存更长时间。故选A。 【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“These changes occur alongside the sharp increase in atmospheric CO₂, which has grown from 369 parts per million (ppm) in 2000 to over 420 ppm today.(这些变化伴随着大气中二氧化碳的急剧增加，从2000年的369ppm增加到今天的420ppm以上。)”和第三段“Bicarbonate helps keep the body’s acid-base balance stable. When CO₂ levels rise, the body keeps more bicarbonate to maintain a normal blood pH.(碳酸氢盐有助于保持身体的酸碱平衡稳定。当二氧化碳水平上升时，身体会保留更多的碳酸氢盐以维持正常的血液pH值。)”可知，空气中较高的二氧化碳会导致血液中碳酸氢盐升高。故选D。 【34题详解】词句猜测题。根据上文“Bicarbonate helps keep the body’s acid-base balance stable. (碳酸氢盐有助于维持人体酸碱平衡的稳定。)”和下文“Researchers estimate that if atmospheric CO₂ continues to increase, average bicarbonate levels could approach the upper limit of today’s healthy range within 50 years.( 研究人员预测，如果大气中的二氧化碳持续增加，未来50年内，人体平均碳酸氢盐水平可能会接近当前健康范围的上限。)”可知，这种内稳态过程的长期改变可能会对健康产生影响。由此可知，homeostatic意为“保持内部平衡”。故选B。 【35题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Humans evolved in an atmosphere with much lower CO₂ levels, around 280 to 300 ppm. Today’s levels are far higher than anything our ancestors experienced.(人类是在二氧化碳水平低得多的大气中进化的，大约在280到300ppm之间。今天的水平远远高于我们祖先所经历的任何水平。)”可知，研究人员提到古代的二氧化碳水平是为了显示人类适应的极限。故选C。 09 山东省2026届高三名校联盟4月核心素养评估 C篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电影《紫色》新旧版本的相关信息，包括其核心内容、紫色在电影中的象征意义以及与电影《芭比》的对比等。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“It’s a musical adaptation with a different style, though according to award-winning filmmaker Dawn Porter, it’s still “a timeless story of love, friendship and power.” (它不仅仅是对原作的致敬。这是一部风格不同的音乐改编作品，不过据获奖电影制作人道恩·波特说，它仍然是“一个关于爱、友谊和力量的永恒故事”。)”可知，两部电影基本有相同的内核。故选A。 【29题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段中“But beyond pure marketing, purple holds a greater meaning here. It’s a symbol of power, ambition as well as creativity, independence and peace — things the movie’s main character, Celie, does not have due to years of abuse, family violence and racism. As Celie comes into her own, she starts to get the color’s meaning by “noticing” her worth, learning to love herself and gaining the strength to stand up to those who mistreat her.(但除了纯粹的营销之外，紫色在这里还有更深的意义。它是力量、野心、创造力、独立和和平的象征——由于多年的虐待、家庭暴力和种族主义，电影的主角塞莉并不具备这些品质。当塞莉找回自我时，她开始通过“注意”自己的价值、学会爱自己、获得站起来对抗那些虐待她的人的力量，来理解这种颜色的含义。)”可知，第三段主要介绍了紫色在塞莉成长过程中的象征意义。故选C。 【30题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“All that plays into people wearing purple to support the movie and embrace this theme of strength. And it’s very much a cultural moment, just like wearing pink to see Barbie (and black to see Oppenheimer, for that matter). It’s something a group can do together to have fun and also bond.(这一切也让人们身着紫色服饰来支持这部影片，拥抱这份关于力量的主题。这俨然成为了一个文化时刻，就像人们穿粉色去看《芭比》、穿黑色去看《奥本海默》一样。这是一群人可以共同参与的趣事，也能拉近彼此的距离。)”可知，作者提到《芭比》是因为穿紫色看《紫色》和穿粉色看《芭比》是类似的文化表达。故选D。 【31题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“And it’s shaping up to be the next cultural phenomenon, with moviegoers heading to the theaters in big groups while dressed up in purple.(它正在成为下一个文化现象，影迷们成群结队地穿着紫色衣服前往电影院。)”可知，文章主要介绍了电影《紫色》的新版本，包括其与旧版本的联系、紫色在电影中的象征意义以及与电影《芭比》的对比等，目的是为了推广这部新电影。故选C。 D篇 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了信息过载问题及应对建议。 【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“At the newspaper I worked with, the topic on which my colleagues and I were most frequently asked to write was “information overload” and no, the irony (讽刺) wasn’t lost on us that publishing thousands of words on the problem was hardly going to help. It was obvious that the internet would dramatically worsen the problem of there being far too much to read.(在我工作的报社，我和同事们最常被要求写的主题就是“信息过载”。是的，我们很清楚其中的讽刺意味：就这个问题发表数千字的文章，几乎无助于解决问题。显而易见，互联网会急剧恶化可读内容过多的问题)”可知，作者和同事们最常被要求写的主题是“信息过载”，但他们意识到发表数千字关于这个问题的文章几乎无济于事，这是一种讽刺。因此，“the irony wasn’t lost on us”意味着作者和同事们知道他们的文章没有意义。故选B。 【33题详解】推理判断题。 根据第三段“It’s true that the filters got much better: technologies such as Amazon’s recommendation engine are an excellent way to discover things to read, while social media, at its best, is like having thousands of unpaid assistants searching the globe for content you’re likely to find particularly fascinating. But the result hasn’t been better.(的确，过滤器变得更好了：亚马逊的推荐引擎等技术是发现阅读内容的绝佳方式，而社交媒体在最好的情况下，就像有成千上万的无偿助手在全球搜索你可能会发现特别有趣的内容。但结果并没有更好)”可知，作者认为虽然过滤技术变得更好了，但结果并没有变得更好。因此，作者认为过滤技术并没有解决问题。故选B。 【34题详解】推理判断题。 根据第四段“It’s easy to wonder if the solution might lie in consuming things more quickly, perhaps by listening to audiobooks on double-speed, or by pursuing the dream of learning to speed-read. (Recall Woody Allen’s line about taking a speed-reading course, then tackling War and Peace: “It’s about Russia.”) But there’s far too much content for that. ‘You will never be efficient enough to hear it all before you die.’(人们很容易认为解决方案可能在于更快地消费内容，比如用双倍速听有声书，或者追求学会快速阅读的梦想。(回想一下伍迪·艾伦关于参加速读课程后阅读《战争与和平》的台词：“讲的是俄罗斯的事。”)但内容太多了，根本读不完。“你永远无法高效到在死前读完所有内容。”)”可知，作者提到Woody Allen的话是为了批评快速阅读的方法，认为即使快速阅读也无法处理完所有的信息。故选B。 【35题详解】推理判断题。 根据最后一段“Fortunately, there are pieces of advice for navigating a world of endless information. Treat your to-read pile like a river, not a bucket — select freely without guilt. Focus not on collecting facts but on how reading reshapes your thinking. Most importantly, enjoy the present joy of reading; not every text must serve future gains to be worthwhile.(幸运的是，对于在信息无穷无尽的世界中导航，有一些建议。把你的阅读堆当作一条河，而不是一个水桶——自由选择，不要内疚。不要专注于收集事实，而要关注阅读如何重塑你的思维。最重要的是，享受阅读的乐趣；并非每一篇文章都必须为未来的利益服务才有价值)”可知，作者建议读者采取新的心态来应对信息过载的问题，如自由选择阅读材料、关注阅读如何重塑思维以及享受阅读的乐趣等。故选A。 10 山东省济南市2026届高三第二次模拟考试（二模） C篇 本文介绍了电动水翼船 Candela C-8 的工作原理和优势。它通过水下机翼将船体抬离水面，大幅减少阻力，从而节能、安静、无排放，且几乎不产生尾流。创始人认为这种船可以利用城市中未被充分利用的“蓝色高速公路”来重塑城市交通。 28. B第二段最后一句明确指出：“Hasselskog believes they could reshape urban transport by shifting traffic from blocked roads to underused waterways, which he terms ‘blue highways’.”（哈塞尔斯科格认为，它们可以通过将交通从拥堵的道路转移到未充分利用的水道——他称之为“蓝色高速公路”——来重塑城市交通。）因此，他期望 C-8 能够重塑城市交通。 29. D第三段说明：“By lifting the hull out of the water, the boat reduces drag by as much as 80 percent, saving a huge amount of energy.”（通过将船体抬出水面，船只减少了高达80%的阻力，从而节省大量能源。）而抬升船体的是水下机翼（underwater wings）。第四段也提到机翼需要足够小以减少阻力、足够强以承受重量。因此，水下机翼是高效节能的关键。 30. C最后一段提到：“While large traditional public boats will still be needed for heavy routes, on short passenger-only routes in cities, electric hydrofoils may be about to take off.”（在重载航线上，大型传统公共船仍然需要，而在城市短途客运航线上，电动水翼船可能即将兴起。）这表明作者认为大型传统公共船不可替代。 31. A文章围绕电动水翼船（以 Candela C-8 为例）如何利用水道缓解城市交通拥堵展开，介绍了其原理、优势和潜在影响。A选项“电动水翼船：城市交通的新解决方案”准确概括了全文主旨。B选项“传统快艇：特点与成本分析”偏离重点；C选项“Candela C-8：重塑重载航线运输”错误，因为文章强调短途客运而非重载；D选项“碳纤维：为 Candela C-8 配备机翼”只涉及材料细节，不能作为标题。 D篇 本文指出，互联网上的有害行为被少数活跃用户夸大，造成“多数幻觉”，使人们误以为网络环境比实际更糟糕。这种认知差距源于大脑的负面偏好、算法推送和僵尸网络。作者建议关注现实生活中的互动，以缩小网络与现实之间的鸿沟。 32. C第一段描述：网上感觉世界要崩塌，现实中邻居却帮你发动汽车。这种网上与现实的“不一致”不是偶然，而是互联网的运作方式。dissonance 在此意为“反差、不一致”，与 contrast 最接近。A项“混乱”、B项“偏见”、D项“辩论”均不符合。 33. A第二段指出：大多数攻击性帖子来自一小部分高度活跃的用户，他们的帖子塑造了公众信念，造成“多数幻觉”，使这个少数群体看起来像是常态。因此，“多数幻觉”指的是少数人造成的虚假印象。B项“有害行为”、C项“被高估的帖子”、D项“少数评论者”均不准确。 34. B第三段分析原因：大脑倾向于注意威胁和道德违规；算法优先引发强烈反应的内容；僵尸网络增加噪音。这些都是在解释为什么少数人的声音感觉像多数。A项“全球网络流量如何误导人”片面；C项“如何识别有害内容”未提及；D项“网上错误观念造成的危害”是下一段内容。 35. D最后一段建议：认识到在线参与不等于认可；跳过“最吸引人”的推送；将观点建立在现实世界的联系上。即重视现实生活中的互动。A项“像最吵闹的少数一样行事”相反；B项“提高道德标准”不是直接建议；C项“避免在线参与”过于绝对。 11 浙江省衢州、丽水、湖州三地市2026年4月高三教学质量检测（二模） C篇 本文介绍了英国为应对儿童肥胖问题而推出的新规：禁止在线播放垃圾食品广告，且电视广告只能在晚上9点后播出。文章分析了肥胖对社会弱势群体的不均衡影响，并指出尽管新规不完美（存在让步），但总比没有好，强调了预防重于治疗的理念。 28. A第一段开篇点明：“the UK has introduced strict rules to protect children from junk food advertising.”（英国推出严格规定，保护儿童免受垃圾食品广告的影响。）结合第二段提到的儿童肥胖率上升，这些规则的目的是保护儿童免受肥胖风险。B项“鼓励人们戒除坏习惯”过于宽泛；C项“限制垃圾食品在晚上销售”并非广告规则的目标；D项“强制学校进行血压检测”是医生呼吁，不是新规目的。 29. C第三段指出：“Like gambling or smoking, the uneven impact of unhealthy processed foods on already-struggling households is among their most damaging effects.”（像赌博或吸烟一样，不健康加工食品对已经挣扎的家庭的不均衡影响是其最具破坏性的后果之一。）前文提到贫困地区儿童肥胖率是富裕地区的两倍，因此提及赌博和吸烟是为了强调垃圾食品对穷人的危害更为严重。A项“解释贫困原因”、B项“表明它们会上瘾”、D项“列出儿童的常见坏习惯”均不准确。 30. B最后一段作者承认新规存在让步（如允许品牌广告），且认为“should have been in place sooner”（本应更早实施），但最终结论是：“they are much better than none at all.”（它们比什么都没有好得多。）这体现了作者虽然认识到不足，但总体上支持这些限制。A项“批判的”、C项“无忧无虑的”、D项“保守的”均不符合。 31. D全文围绕英国推出的新广告规则来应对儿童肥胖问题展开，从规则内容、肥胖现状、社会不平等影响到作者的评价，核心是新规应对肥胖。A项“儿童肥胖：日益严重的危机”只涉及问题，未提及解决方案；B项“健康不平等：不断扩大的鸿沟”是文章的一部分，但不是主线；C项“更严格的监管：行动的呼吁”过于笼统，未点明具体内容。D项“应对肥胖：英国的新广告规则”最全面准确。 D篇 本文介绍了传统药物研发高风险、高成本、长周期的特点，以及生成式AI如何通过加速靶点发现、分子设计、临床试验优化等环节，显著提升效率和成功率。同时指出，AI的应用也带来了监管审查、数据共享和专利规则等新挑战，需要行业和监管机构共同调整以适应这一变革。 32. D第一段明确指出：药物开发平均需要10-15年，单个药物成本约28亿美元，且专利保护到期带来持续压力。因此，传统药企的主要挑战是研发周期长和经济负担重。A项“缺乏突破性疗法”是结果而非核心挑战；B项“无法发现有效候选药物”与事实不符（有1/10成功率）；C项“难以获得前沿技术”文中未提及。 33. B第二段明确提到：“AI can improve clinical trials by analysing health records to identify patients most likely to benefit from new treatments.”（通过分析健康记录，识别最可能从新治疗中受益的患者。）这直接对应B选项“帮助选择合适的患者”。A项“设计新分子”属于药物发现阶段；C项“发现新有效药物”过于宽泛；D项“检测合适的药物靶点”也是发现阶段，非临床试验。 34. A第四段首句：“The rise of AI is transforming how the drug industry works.”（AI的兴起正在改变药物行业的运作方式。）随后具体说明：AI-native生物技术公司涌现、药企与科技巨头合作、技术公司开发计算机模拟设计平台，并举例Google的AlphaFold。因此，本段主要讲AI驱动的药物行业变革。B项“AI-native生物技术公司的兴起”是部分内容；C项“谷歌在蛋白质结构上的成就”是例子；D项“科技巨头与药企的合作”也是部分内容。 35. C最后一段指出：政府可能需要加快监管审查；患者数据共享需以保护隐私的方式进行；专利规则可能需要调整。这表明政策需要修订以确保AI带来的好处能够惠及药企和患者。A项“专利规则对AI创新是固定的”与原文“may require adjustment”矛盾；B项“更快的审查可以保护患者数据隐私”文中无此逻辑；D项“先进系统对药物创新至关重要”不是推断重点。 12 重庆市巴蜀中学2026届高考适应性月考卷(八) C篇 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕真菌种植蚂蚁的独特固碳能力展开，介绍相关科研发现及潜在应用价值。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“The high density of ants and fungi can result in high concentrations of CO₂ inside the nests.(蚂蚁和真菌的高密度会导致巢穴内二氧化碳浓度升高。)”可知，真菌种植蚂蚁的巢穴内二氧化碳含量很高。故选B项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“In 2020, Cameron Currie at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his colleagues found that Acromyrmex echinatior ants incorporate a carbonate biomineral into their armour (外壳). The ants do this through a symbiotic (共生的) relationship with Pseudonocardia bacteria (2020年，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的卡梅伦·柯里和他的同事发现，多刺切叶蚁会将碳酸盐生物矿物质融入它们的外壳。这些蚂蚁通过与假诺卡氏菌的共生关系来实现这一点)”以及第四段的句子“Now, the team has discovered that another fungus-farming ant, Sericomymex amabilis, which is found in Central and South America, can do the same thing without symbiotic bacteria (现在，该团队发现另一种生活在中美洲和南美洲的真菌种植蚂蚁——Sericomymex amabilis，无需共生细菌就能做到同样的事情)”可知，Sericomymex amabilis与Acromyrmex echinatior的不同之处在于前者无需细菌帮助就能形成矿物质。故选D项。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段的句子“Dolomite rocks, such as those in Italy’s Dolomite mountains, normally take millions of years and complex geological processes to form. (白云岩，如意大利白云石山脉中的那些岩石，通常需要数百万年和复杂的地质过程才能形成。)”可知，自然形成白云岩非常耗时。故选C项。 【31题详解】推理判断题。文章首先介绍真菌种植蚂蚁能将二氧化碳转化为矿物质这一发现，接着解释这一过程的原理和不同蚂蚁的实现方式，最后探讨该发现对人类应对全球变暖的启示，整体结构为“发现→解释→意义”。故选D项。 D篇 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了持续努力可能无法带来真正进步，强调了高强度专注相较于稳定习惯的优势。 【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s Sunday evening, and you’re reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without truly moving the needle on any. You worked out twice, read 20 pages of that business book, spent quality time with family, and kept up with your meditation practice. You’re doing everything right according to the productivity experts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve.(现在是周日晚上，你正在回顾过去一周在五个不同目标上的进展，但没有一个真正取得进展。你锻炼了两次，读了20页商业书籍，与家人共度了美好时光，并坚持了冥想练习。根据生产力专家的说法，你做的每件事都是正确的。那么，为什么有意义的改变如此难以实现呢？)”可知，第一段描述的场景表明了尽管付出了持续的努力，但可能并未取得真正的进步。故选D。 【33题详解】词句猜测题。根据下文“they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new acquisition of skills and knowledge.(它们会发生变化，有时是戏剧性的变化，以反映新获得的技能和知识)”可知，大脑会发生变化以适应新技能和知识的获得，这表明大脑是可适应的，由此可知，malleable意为“可适应的”。故选B。 【34题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段“Research finds that during periods of intense focus, our brains exhibit transient hypofrontality. The prefrontal cortex, largely responsible for self-monitoring, tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in “flow states,” where the boundaries between self and task dissolve.(研究发现，在高度专注的时期，我们的大脑会表现出短暂的前额叶功能低下。主要负责自我监控的前额叶皮层往往会安静下来，这与在“心流状态”中经常看到的情况相呼应，在心流状态中，自我和任务之间的界限消失了。)”可知，在“短暂前额叶功能低下”期间，前额叶皮层安静下来，自我和任务之间的界限消失，这表明你感觉与任务融为一体。故选C。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。文章主要讨论了持续努力可能无法带来真正的进步，而高强度专注则具有催化作用，能够推动大脑发生显著变化，从而实现真正的转变。文章通过对比持续努力和高强度专注的效果，强调了高强度专注的优势，因此选项A“为什么高强度专注胜过稳定的习惯”最能概括文章的主旨，适合作为标题。故选A。 13 福建省2026届高中毕业班4月适应性练习（福州版） C篇 本文通过作者家族语言失而复得的故事，引出人类认知的核心机制——跨领域转换（翻译）。与AI在固定领域内处理信息不同，人类能够在不同认知域之间灵活切换，将意义转化为行动。这种适应性是人类最大的优势，也是未来成功的关键。 28. D第一段末尾明确指出：“This story is a case study about human cognition.”（这个故事是关于人类认知的一个案例研究。）随后第二段展开说明“双语者切换语言”这一机制。因此，提到家庭故事是为了说明一种机制。A项“强调人类能力”范围过宽；B项“呈现语言偏见”与故事不符；C项“赞扬家庭教育”偏离主题。 29. C第二段最后一句：“Intelligence isn’t just computation within a single domain. It’s the ability to move between domains, to translate meaning into action.”（智力不仅仅是在单一领域内计算。它是跨领域移动、将意义转化为行动的能力。）因此，重新定义的智力是跨领域转换。A项“有效的行动”是结果；B项“大规模计算能力”是AI的特点；D项“思想的持续转变”不准确。 30. A第四段指出：“Humans survive change by switching cognitive domains… This flexibility is our greatest strength.”（人类通过切换认知域在变化中生存……这种灵活性是我们最大的优势。）因此，本段主要讲人类的认知优势。B项“人类的知识领域”不准确；C项“AI的多系统适应性”与原文相反（AI缺乏）；D项“AI的巨大信息存储”不是本段重点。 31. B最后一段明确指出：“The future won’t belong to those who process the most information, but to those who translate between humans and AI, between multiple meaning systems, and between our present and future selves.”（未来不属于处理信息最多的人，而属于在人类与AI之间、多种意义系统之间、现在与未来自我之间进行翻译的人。）因此，未来属于适应不同领域的人。A项“处理大量信息的人”被否定；C项“专注于固定领域的人”是AI擅长的；D项“发展意义系统的人”不准确。 D篇 本文介绍了一种新型冷却技术——离子热冷却。该技术利用离子（带电粒子）改变材料的熔点，使其熔融时从周围吸收热量，从而实现降温。实验中，通过向含盐液体施加小电压，实现了25°C的降温。该系统有望替代传统制冷剂（HFCs），实现高效、低成本、环保甚至负碳的冷却与加热，助力实现《基加利修正案》的减排目标。 32. A根据第二段：“The idea builds on a simple physical process… melting takes heat.”（这一想法基于一个简单的物理过程……熔融会吸热。）以及第三段：“As the liquid melted, it absorbed heat, cooling the space like melting ice.”（液体熔融时吸收热量，像融冰一样冷却空间。）因此原理是熔融从周围吸热。B项“气体膨胀产生冷却”是传统制冷原理；C项“电产生材料热量”相反；D项“盐降低水的冰点”是相关现象，但不是核心原理。 33. D第三段描述实验过程：“scientists mixed a salt… into a liquid… When a small electric current was applied, the salt ions moved… causing it to melt.”（科学家将盐混入液体中，施加小电流后盐离子移动，导致液体熔融。）因此测试方法是向含盐液体通电。A项“减少HFC使用”是目标；B项“测量大气CO₂”未提及；C项“监测冬季道路情况”是类比，不是实验方法。 34. D第四段指出：“EC can be made from CO₂, meaning the system could be carbon-negative—it avoids harm and helps clean up.”（EC可由CO₂制成，意味着该系统可能是碳负的——既避免伤害又有助于净零。）因此强调EC来源是为了说明系统有助于缓解全球变暖。A项“说明如何减少HFC”不直接；B项“证明省电”未提及；C项“解释冷却效果”与CO₂来源无关。 35. C从最后一段可以看出：“If successful, this technology could help… With further development, these systems could one day provide… without harming the planet.”（如果成功，这项技术将有助于……随着进一步发展，这些系统有朝一日将能在不伤害地球的前提下提供……）同时前文提到“promising”“potential”，都体现了作者充满希望的态度。A项“负面的”、B项“怀疑的”、D项“不屑一顾的”均不符合。 14 安徽省合肥市2026届高三第二次教学质量检测（二模） C篇 本文介绍了“维修咖啡馆”（Repair Cafes）的兴起与发展。人们不再轻易丢弃损坏物品，而是参加社区维修活动，与志愿者一起尝试修复。这不仅能延长物品寿命，还能让参与者学习维修知识、了解产品设计问题，同时揭示制造商在可维修性方面的不足。社区维修的意义超越了单纯的修理，它推动了对消费文化的反思。 28. B第二段引用了具体数据：“超过200,000次维修尝试被记录，来自数十个国家的1,100多个团体，估计全球活跃着4,000多个维修社区。”这些数字直观地展示了维修咖啡馆从阿姆斯特丹起源后，在全球范围内迅速传播和壮大的趋势，因此作者使用这些数据是为了说明维修咖啡馆的快速增长。 29. D第三段指出，即使修理不成功，参与者也能“了解产品的设计方式、它们为什么会出故障，以及什么使某些物品比其他物品更容易维修”。这表明社区维修活动的独特之处在于它将维修过程变成了一种学习体验，而不仅仅是修好物品。 30. A第四段中“products often seem opaque to ordinary users, as if they were sealed boxes not meant to be opened”将产品比作“密封的盒子，不打算被打开”。结合语境，用户难以理解产品内部构造和维修方法，因此“opaque”在此意为“不清楚的、难以理解的”，与 Unclear 同义。 31. B全文围绕维修咖啡馆的兴起展开，并强调其超越单纯修理的深层意义——教育消费者、揭示产品设计问题、对抗丢弃文化。选项B“维修咖啡馆的兴起：不仅仅是修理”准确概括了文章的核心内容。其他选项过于片面或偏离主题。 D篇 本文介绍了钠离子电池作为锂离子电池的潜在替代品，在低温环境下性能更优，但由于供应链不成熟，目前制造成本较高，未来需要降低成本并保持低温性能。 32. C根据第一段：“In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity... cold temperatures make those processes inactive.”（在低温下，大多数锂离子电池只能提供原始容量的一小部分……低温使这些过程不活跃。）这说明锂离子电动汽车的功率输出可能受到寒冷天气的影响。D项“在极端天气条件下容量下降”中的“极端天气”范围过大，原文只提到低温，未提及高温。 33. D第三段明确说明：“sodium ions... form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does. This allows them to move much more easily even when the cold thickens the electrolyte.”（钠离子与液体电解质的结合比锂更弱，这使得即使在寒冷使电解质变稠时，它们也能更容易地移动。）因此，原因是它们与电解质的相互作用更弱。 34. D第四段中，作者将钠离子电池与锂铁磷酸电池进行比较：“at -30°C, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate batteries.” 以及其他充电性能对比，因此是通过比较来展示优势。 35. A最后一段Phate Zhang说：“We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures.”（我们应该研究在保持低温强性能的同时降低成本。）这指出了未来研究的方向。 15 重庆市南开中学2026届高三第七次质量检测（4月） C篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了克里斯汀·汉娜的小说《女性》，小说通过主人公Frankie在越南战争期间担任护士的经历，展现了战争的残酷、女性退伍军人归国后遭受的忽视与心理创伤，并颂扬了她们的勇气和坚韧精神。 【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Kristin Hannah’s The Women is a searing, deeply compassionate novel (克里斯汀·汉娜所著的《女性》是一部炽热的、充满深切同情的长篇小说)”和“Published in 2024, it has quickly become one of the most acclaimed historical fictions of recent years, praised for its determined honesty and vivid storytelling. (该作品于2024年出版，迅速成为了近年来最受赞誉的历史小说之一，因其坚定的诚实态度和生动的叙事风格而备受称赞。)”可知，作者所用的“炽热的、充满深切同情的”和“生动的叙事风格”暗示这部小说感人的特质，“坚定的诚实态度”则对应直率。故选C项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“But when her brother deploys to Vietnam, she enlists, driven by the belief that “women can be heroes”. (但当她的哥哥被派往越南服役时，她也报名参军了，她坚信“女性也能成为英雄”。)”可知，Frankie加入陆军护士队的动机是她相信女性有能力成为英雄。故选C项。 【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Like countless real female veterans (退伍老兵), she returns to a divided America that refuses to honor her service — facing indifference, skepticism, and even hostility from a society that insists “there were no women in Vietnam”. Her struggle with PTSD and alienation from her family and old life is a stark reminder of the long, invisible scars of war. (就像无数真正的女性退伍军人一样，她回到了一个分裂的美国，这个国家拒绝认可她的付出——她面临着冷漠、质疑甚至敌意，因为这个社会坚称“越南战争中没有女性的身影”。她与创伤后应激障碍的抗争以及与家人和过往生活的疏离，鲜明地揭示了战争留下的漫长而隐秘的伤痕。)”可知，这里重点描述Frankie归国后遭受的忽视、心理创伤和疏离感，表明战争给她留下了长期的无形创伤。故选B项。 【31题详解】词句猜测题。根据全文最后一句“More than a war story, it is a testament to courage and the quiet strength of women who served — and were too often forgotten. (这不仅仅是一个战争故事，它更是一份对那些曾投身战争、展现勇气以及展现出默默力量 女性的颂歌——她们中的许多人却常常被遗忘。)”可知，作者说“不仅仅是一个战争故事”，是强调这本书超越了单纯描写战争事件，聚焦于女性退伍军人的内在品质。故选A项。 D篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家揭示怕痒的生理和进化基础及个体差异原因。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Ticklishness (怕痒), a universal yet puzzling human response characterized by laughter or squirming upon light touch, has long intrigued scientists. Recent studies have clarified its physiological and evolutionary foundations, revealing it to be more than a simple reflex or reaction.(怕痒，是人类普遍存在却令人费解的一种反应 —— 轻轻触碰就会发笑、扭动。长期以来，这一现象一直让科学家十分好奇。近期研究阐明了它的生理机制与进化根源，证明怕痒绝不只是简单的本能反应。)”可知，关于怕痒的新发现是它有明确的生理和进化根源。故选C。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“A 2023 study in Nature Human Behaviour suggests ticklishness evolved as a protective reflex.(2023年发表在《自然·人类行为》上的一项研究表明，怕痒是一种保护性反射。)”可知，根据2023年的研究，怕痒的进化功能是作为一种保护性反射。故选A。 【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“When we try to tickle ourselves, it anticipates the timing, location, and pressure of the touch and sends advance signals to suppress the tickle reflex. This dampens sensory input to the somatosensory cortex.(当我们试图挠自己痒痒时，它会预测触摸的时间、位置和压力，并发出预先信号来抑制挠痒反射。这会减弱对体感皮层的感官输入。)”可知，自己挠痒痒很少能像被别人挠那样有效是因为小脑预测触摸并抑制反射。故选B。 【35题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Key reasons include individual differences in sensory nerve density and brain processing. Those with fewer A-beta or C-tactile fibers may be less sensitive to light touch.(关键原因包括感觉神经密度和大脑处理的个体差异。那些A-β或C-触觉纤维较少的人对轻触可能不太敏感。)”可知，不太怕痒的人可能与触摸相关的感觉神经纤维较少。故选D。 16 江苏省基地学校大联考2026届高三4月质量检测 C篇 本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍伦敦艺术家乔希·格卢克斯坦利用硬纸板创作珊瑚礁雕塑，以此呼吁人们关注海洋生物保护。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“According to the artist, it “celebrates the wonder and rich biodiversity of our oceans while raising awareness for the challenges facing our ocean life.”(据这位艺术家说，这件作品“赞颂了海洋的奇观和丰富的生物多样性，同时提高人们对海洋生物面临挑战的认识”。)”可知，格卢克斯坦在网上展示这个宏大项目是为了让人们意识到海洋生物面临的威胁。故选C项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段中的“I love the message about the threat of plastic waste in the ocean and the difference we can make by making more sustainable choices.(我喜欢它所传递的关于海洋塑料垃圾威胁的信息，以及我们通过做出更可持续的选择所能带来的改变。)”可知，他最喜欢纸板吸管海葵，是因为它倡导环境可持续性。故选B项。 【30题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“To create his commitment to ocean conservation, Gluckstein is donating 10% of the profits from this special piece to the charity Oceana, which works to protect and restore the world’s oceans.(为了践行他对海洋保护的承诺，格卢克斯坦将这件特别作品10%的收益捐赠给了致力于保护和恢复世界海洋的慈善机构Oceana。)”可知，本段主要讲述格卢克斯坦为海洋保护事业所做的贡献。故选C项。 【31题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“This London-based artist uses the material to create incredible sculptures of wildlife, transforming the brown paper into animals like giraffes, lions, and gorillas. (这位常驻伦敦的艺术家利用这种材料创作出令人惊叹的野生动物雕塑，将牛皮纸变成长颈鹿、狮子和大猩猩等动物形象。)”和最后一段中的“Now, he hopes that his reef will remind people of the ocean’s magical beauty and show the incredible creative possibilities of cardboard. (现在，他希望自己的这座礁石雕塑能让人们领略到海洋的神奇之美，并展现出硬纸板令人难以置信的创作潜力。)”可知，文章讲述艺术家利用可回收硬纸板创作海洋生物雕塑，以此作为保护海洋生物的新颖方式，因此“可回收硬纸板：保护海洋生物的新颖手段”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 D篇 本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍人工智能技术推动下，各类养老机器人在中国逐步应用，缓解养老压力，同时也指出了现存的不足。 【32题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“As advancements in AI continue to unfold, robots are emerging as a transformative force in the elderly care industry across China. With innovations ranging from feeding robots to those designed for recovery and hygiene (卫生) assistance, an increasing range of age-friendly tech products is being introduced to support seniors. (随着人工智能的不断发展，机器人正成为中国养老行业的变革力量。从喂食机器人到康复和卫生辅助机器人，越来越多的适老化科技产品被推出以帮助老年人。)”可知，第一段主要讲养老机器人越来越受关注、应用越来越广泛。故选C项。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“For example, at a home care center in Fuzhou, a group of seniors averaging 86 years old are enjoying a more convenient and dynamic lifestyle thanks to the introduction of “smart nannies.” Among the cutting-edge technologies being employed to assist seniors with disabilities are robotic “caregivers,” multifunctional transfer bed-chairs, and fall-detection alarms. (例如，在福州的一家养老中心，得益于“智能保姆”的引入，一群平均86岁的老人享受着更便捷、更有活力的生活。用于帮助失能老人的前沿技术包括机器人“护理员”、多功能移位床椅和跌倒检测报警器。)”可知，这些机器人能更方便地移动老人，帮助他们生活。故选D项。 【34题详解】词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“In 2024, a resident from Shenzhen, Guangdong, surnamed Xia, invested nearly 30,000 yuan in a toileting care robot for his 80-year-old bedridden grandfather, which can help him stand and walk for toileting.(2024年，广东深圳一位夏姓居民为他80岁、卧床不起的祖父花费近3万元购买了一台如厕护理机器人，它可以帮助老人站立和行走如厕。)”可知，这位老人需要机器人辅助站立、行走和如厕，说明他行动不便、长期卧床，因此bedridden意为“行动能力受限”。故选A项。 【35题详解】推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“He told the Global Times that current robots on the market still have shortcomings in human-robot interaction. For instance, they struggle to recognize commands spoken in local dialects, and their emotional interactions remain at a programmed response level.(他告诉《环球时报》，目前市场上的机器人在人机交互方面仍存在不足。例如，它们难以识别方言指令，情感交互也停留在程序响应层面。)”可知，作者在最后一段强调养老机器人还存在技术缺陷，有很大的改进空间。故选B项。 17 河南省郑州市2026届高中毕业年级下学期第二次质量预测（二模） C篇 作者结合自身经历，介绍金钱会对人的情绪产生影响，并引用作家观点，阐述过度关注金钱的危害、情绪化消费的问题，以及如何建立健康的金钱观念。 【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Money’s ups and downs strongly affect my mood, especially during the holidays, when every festival activity seems to come with a price tag. (金钱的起伏会极大影响我的情绪，尤其在节假日，每项节日活动似乎都离不开开销)”可知，作者列举经常查看银行余额的事例，是为了表明金钱会对自己的情绪产生影响。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“money often feels like an emotional burden (金钱往往成为一种情感负担)”以及第二段“Rising expenses can cause anxiety and lead people to focus too much on making or saving money, taking attention away from other important aspects of life. (开支增加会引发焦虑，使人过度执着于赚钱或存钱，忽略生活中其他重要的部分)”可知，过度关注金钱会让人背负情感负担，不利于身心健康。 【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“Some people spend their lives saving without enjoying the fruits of their labor, while others turn to emotional spending, like shopping, to deal with stress, covering deeper issues like loneliness or a lack of purpose (有些人一生都在储蓄，却从未享受过自己劳动的成果；而另一些人则诉诸情感消费，比如购物，来应对压力，以此掩盖孤独或缺乏人生目标等更深层次的问题)”可知，情绪化消费掩盖孤独或缺乏人生目标等更深层次的问题，可推理出情绪化消费只能暂时缓解压力。 【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Broadening the definition of wealth to include relationships, health, and purpose helps balance financial goals with personal well-being. (拓宽财富的定义，将人际关系、健康和人生目标纳入其中，有助于平衡经济目标与个人幸福感)” 可知，拓宽财富的定义有助于平衡经济目标与个人幸福感，可推理出建立健康金钱关系的关键，在于平衡物质财富与个人幸福。 D篇 文章讲述了随着全球能源需求增加与环境问题加剧，清洁能源转型愈发重要并介绍了氢能的低碳优势、淡水电解制氢的局限，以及科研团队研发海水制氢技术的创新成果与现存待解决的难题。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“hydrogen energy is emerging as a key player in achieving carbon neutrality (碳中和).

Additionally, they chose platinum-tellurium foil, a highly effective catalyst (催化剂) that improves the process without causing harmful chemical side effects (具体做法是向海水中添加肼，以提升效率。此外，他们选用了铂碲箔——一种高效催化剂，该催化剂能在优化制氢过程的同时，避免产生有害的化学副作用)”可知，海水制氢存在诸多难题，为突破困境，团队提出新型策略提升制氢效率，由此可判断该策略巧妙且高效。B选项“Brilliant (高明的，巧妙的)”符合语境。 【34题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Platinum, though an effective catalyst, is both costly and environmentally damaging to mine (铂虽是高效催化剂，但其开采成本高昂且会破坏环境)”可知，当前海水制氢使用的催化剂造价高、不利于生态环境。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“While nuclear, wind, and solar energy have played significant roles as alternatives to fossil fuels, hydrogen energy is emerging as a key player in achieving carbon neutrality (碳中和). According to Professor Liu Lifeng, hydrogen has the potential to decarbonize energy — intensive industries, thus contributing to net-zero emission (排放) goals(尽管核能、风能和太阳能作为化石燃料的替代能源已发挥了重要作用，但氢能正逐渐成为实现碳中和的关键力量。刘利峰教授指出，氢能有望推动能源密集型产业实现脱碳，从而助力净零排放目标的达成)”、倒数第二段“Their innovative device has produced promising results. This means that hydrogen can be produced from seawater without requiring external electricity, hence lowering production costs and improving flexibility in real-world applications.( 他们研发的创新装置已取得了令人振奋的成果。这意味着，无需借助外部电力即可从海水中制取氢气，从而降低了生产成本，并提升了该技术在实际应用场景中的灵活性)”以及最后一段“Platinum, though an effective catalyst, is both costly and environmentally damaging to mine (铂虽是高效催化剂，但其开采成本高昂且会破坏环境)”可知，文章先介绍氢能的发展前景与淡水制氢的短板，核心讲述科研团队研发海水制氢的创新突破，同时说明了该项技术的实际成效与仍需攻克的难题，主要讲的是海水制氢领域的一项突破。 18 湖北省新八校2026届高三4月联考（二模） C篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了多用途人工智能代理OpenClaw (“龙虾”)的强大功能，以及其存在的安全隐患，并提出了相应的安全措施建议。 【28题详解】词句猜测题。根据第一段“However, these powerful digital assistants are turning on their owners, raising urgent concerns about AI safety. (然而，这些强大的数字助手正在“turning on”它们的主人，引发了人们对人工智能安全的迫切担忧。)”以及后文描述的AI可能带来的安全风险，如自主系统访问、处理不可信输入、窃取或泄露数据等，可推测出“turning on”在此处意为“对……不利”或“与……对抗”，即“going against”。A. Keeping off远离；B. Going against反对，对抗；C. Appealing to吸引；D. Caring for关心。故选B项。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“According to researchers from Harvard and Stanford, today’s AI agents possess Level 4 autonomy, meaning they can independently complete complex, multi-step tasks. Yet their security judgment remains at basic Level 2, roughly equal to a young kid’s understanding of consequences. (根据哈佛大学和斯坦福大学的研究人员的说法，如今的人工智能代理拥有4级自主性，这意味着它们可以独立完成复杂的多步骤任务。然而，它们的安全判断仍处于基本的2级水平，大致相当于一个小孩对后果的理解。)”可知，存在强自主性和低安全评估之间的不匹配。故选C项。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Perhaps the most disturbing was a “constitution attack,” where hidden instructions secretly placed into a behavior guide caused the agent to disable other systems without question. (也许最令人不安的是“宪法攻击”，即隐藏在行为指南中的指令会毫无疑问地使代理禁用其他系统。)”可知，最令人担忧的是OpenClaw会毫无疑问地关闭其他系统。故选D项。 【31题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“And experts recommend strict safety measures: limit permissions, run agents in separate environments, require human confirmation for destructive actions, and maintain inaccessible backups. (专家建议采取严格的安全措施：限制权限，在独立环境中运行代理，要求对破坏性行为进行人工确认，并保留对AI不可访问的备份。)”可知，专家建议将备份存储在人工智能无法访问的地方。故选A项。 D篇 这是一篇说明文。文章指出靠接触诱惑锻炼孩子意志力效果短暂且有害，新研究主张主动避开诱惑，同时建议家长引导孩子感受健康事物的乐趣。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“For example, exposing children to junk food more, they claim, helps them learn to resist it.(例如，他们声称，让孩子更多地接触垃圾食品，有助于培养他们抵制这种食物的能力)”可知，增强意志力的常见方法是置身于诱惑情境之中。故选C。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, successful people expose themselves to fewer temptations so they don’t need to use willpower frequently. (相反，成功人士会让自己少接触诱惑，这样他们就不必频繁动用意志力)”可知，成功人士避免诱惑。故选D。 【34题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Above all, whether it’s eating healthier food, doing physical exercise, or reading good books, if you make the experience more fun for your kids, then they are more likely to do it again.(最重要的是，无论是让孩子吃更健康的食品、进行体育锻炼，还是阅读好书，只要能让这一过程变得更有趣，那么孩子就更有可能再次参与其中)”可知，作者建议家长们让健康的经历变得有趣。故选C。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Psychologists have long believed willpower is the ticket to a good life. So parenting experts advocate teaching children to use willpower to resist modern temptations (诱惑). It is thought that you can build a child’s willpower the way athletes build up muscles, through practice. For example, exposing children to junk food more, they claim, helps them learn to resist it. However, this assumption has a fatal flaw: it doesn’t work for very long.(长期以来，心理学家认为意志力是美好生活的关键。因此育儿专家提倡教导孩子用意志力抵制现代诱惑。人们认为，可以像运动员锻炼肌肉那样，通过练习培养孩子的意志力。例如，专家称，多让孩子接触垃圾食品，能帮助他们学会克制欲望。然而，这种观点存在致命缺陷：效果难以长久维持)”结合文章指出靠接触诱惑锻炼孩子意志力效果短暂且有害，新研究主张主动避开诱惑，同时建议家长引导孩子感受健康事物的乐趣可知，D选项“避免诱惑，爱上更健康的选择”最符合文章标题。故选D。 19 山东省潍坊市2026届高三4月模拟考试（二模） C篇 本文探讨了生成式人工智能（如ChatGPT）制造的“AI垃圾”（AI slop）对科学文献的负面影响，包括假数据、误导性推理和虚假引用，并指出学术评审系统本就负担过重，AI加剧了这一问题。最后呼吁研究者、AI开发者、科学机构等多方协作，共同遏制AI垃圾的扩散。 28. D第二段指出，尽管生成式AI出现前已有假研究，但新技术“facilitated its expansion, driving a transition from individual bad actors to illegal businesses”（推动了假研究的扩张，使其从个人行为转向非法产业）。这直接说明新技术促进了假论文的生产。A项“它转变了非法企业”是现象之一，但不是“导致扩张”的直接原因；B项“拯救了挣扎的论文工厂”未提及；C项“消除了误导性推理”与事实相反。 29. A第三段明确指出：“overstretched volunteer reviewers and editors lacked the time and resources to ensure high standards... pushing an already overstressed system to the breaking point.”（志愿者评审和编辑不堪重负，缺乏时间和资源来确保高标准……将本已压力过大的系统推向崩溃边缘。）因此，学术评审系统负担过重。B项“被低估”、C项“资源丰富”、D项“检查高效”均与原文相反。 30. C第四段首句“Even the very citations... are being undermined by Generative AI.”（即使是……引用也被生成式AI所____。）下文说AI生成不存在的引用，导致学术信任下降。因此“undermined”意为削弱、破坏。A项“检查”、B项“忽视”、D项“混合”均不符合。 31. A最后一段提出“What can we do?”并列举了多方责任：研究者应检查参考文献可靠性；AI开发者和公司应确保训练数据质量；科学机构可施压要求使用可靠来源并公开安全测试结果。这说明作者认为AI垃圾需要多方共同解决。B项“AI公司应被重罚”过于具体，文中未提处罚；C项“AI工具可用各种数据训练”与强调高质量数据不符；D项“AI开发者是根源”片面，作者强调共同责任。 D篇 本文介绍了一项研究，旨在探究气候行动素养干预是否会影响人们对减排行为的看法和行动意愿。研究发现，干预后人们的意愿显著提高，且主动处理信息比被动接受更能更新信念。此外，人们更倾向于选择容易实施的行为，而非最有效的行为。未来研究将比较不同策略在激发个人参与方面的效果。 32. D第一段结尾明确指出：“a study was conducted to assess if climate action literacy interventions could influence their perceptions and willingness to act.”（评估气候行动素养干预能否影响他们的看法和行动意愿。）因此，研究焦点是指导是否影响人们的环境决策。A项“气候变化如何威胁日常生活”未涉及；B项“个人决策是否影响碳排放”是背景，不是研究核心；C项“误解如何被纠正”范围过窄。 33. A第二段清晰描述了实验流程：首先进行预测试（pre-test）评估初始意愿；然后随机分组（randomly divided into two groups）；接着两组分别接受气候素养干预（receiving climate literacy intervention）；最后进行后测（post-test）再次评估意愿。因此A项正确。 34. C第三段末尾指出：“compared with passive exposure to information, active processing of new information contributes more to updating people's beliefs.”（与被动接触信息相比，主动处理新信息对更新人们的信念贡献更大。）因此可推断主动参与带来更大的信念改变。A项“人们更喜欢有效而非容易的行动”与第四段“人们更愿意做容易的事，不管有效性和何”相反；B项“困难行动在减排上效果较差”未提及；D项“行为有效性是行动意愿的关键”与第四段矛盾（关键是容易度）。 35. C最后一段Vlasceanu说：“Future experiments may compare literacy-based strategies with emotional appeals or personal storytelling to determine which approaches most effectively enhance individual engagement.”（未来实验将比较基于素养的策略与情感诉求或个人故事，以确定哪种方法最有效地促进个人参与。）即识别最能驱动行动的方法，对应C项。A项“采用新颖研究方法”不具体；B项“更大参与度的潜在好处”不是焦点；D项“让更多参与者参与的实践需求”未提及。 20 天域全国名校协作体2026届高三4月联考 C篇 C篇是一篇说明文。BBC 与阿加莎克里斯蒂家族合作，利用 AI 技术和档案资料，以虚拟形象重现这位 “犯罪女王”，推出写作课程，在避免 “深度伪造”争议的同时，向新晋作家传授其独特的创作技巧与理念。 第 28 题 B 根据第二段 “Christie’s course is the result not of recently unearthed video footage, but artificial intelligence. BBC Maestro... brought the idea to the Christie family... They subsequently authorized BBC to use the image of ‘Queen of Crime’ to teach the mysterious writing style...” 可知，使用 AI 的目的是呈现克里斯蒂的写作课程，故选 B。A 项 “让已故作家复活” 并非目的，而是手段；C 项 “宣传作家形象” 和 D 项 “建立在线教育平台” 均与原文不符。 第 29 题 B 根据第三段 “Crucially, Ms Keene’s credible performance employs only Christie’s words: extracts from her own writings, notebooks, and interviews.” 可知，Vivien Keene 的主要工作是使用克里斯蒂本人的文字进行表演，故选 B。A 项 “创作新故事” 未提及；C 项 “用自己的面部表情” 不准确，面部是后期合成的；D 项 “与学者及家人沟通” 并非其工作内容。 第 30 题 C 第四段列举了克里斯蒂的写作技巧：处理虚构受害者的方式、使用毒药、运用误导和真假线索、利用暴风雪隔离现场等，这些都围绕她如何构建侦探小说情节展开，即她发展故事的逻辑，故选 C。A 项 “实用安全建议”、B 项 “待人处事方式” 均曲解文意；D 项 “专注的工作原则” 过于抽象，段落核心是具体的情节构建方法。 第 31 题 A 根据最后一段 “By relying on Christie’s own words, BBC Maestro hopes to avoid charges of deepfake. At the same time, it is the focus on quotation that limits the course’s value as a creative-writing toolbox.” 可知，作者指出该策略在避免 “深度伪造” 争议的同时，也因过度依赖引用而限制了课程作为创作工具的价值，这是一种有利有弊的权衡，且这种代价是策略本身固有的，故选 A “一种代价高昂的权衡”。B 项 “创造性的突破” 与文中指出的局限性不符；C 项 “谨慎的过度反应” 偏离文意；D 项 “好心但效果不佳” 虽有一定合理性，但文中更强调利弊并存的权衡关系。 D篇 D篇是一篇说明文，围绕塑料废物处理方案中的术语使用问题展开论述。研究指出，“upcycling” 和 “downcycling” 等带有价值倾向的术语缺乏明确定义，容易误导人们对回收方案的真实判断，甚至阻碍循环经济的发展。文章通过具体例证说明，术语所暗示的价值与实际环境影响往往并不一致，并呼吁摒弃带有倾向性的语言，转而基于可量化的环境和经济价值来评估塑料废物处理方案。 第 32 题 B 根据第二段 “directional terms such as ‘upcycling’ and ‘downcycling’ lack clear definitions as value judgments, and that their use can twist perceptions of the benefits.” 可知，研究发现这两个术语缺乏明确定义，会扭曲人们对收益的认知，即可能误导判断，故选 B。A 项 “仅从科学角度定义” 与原文 “缺乏明确定义” 相悖；C 项 “衡量环境影响” 和 D 项 “推广所有塑料解决方案” 均未提及。 第 33 题 B 根据第二段 “a downcycled stream may actually produce a high-value product” 可知，降级循环的材料实际上可能产生高价值产品，故选 B。A 项 “倾向于产生劣质最终产品” 与原文相反；C 项 “严重损害环境” 和 D 项 “代表更先进的技术” 文中未涉及。 第 34 题 C 根据最后一段 “By moving away from direction-loaded terminology, plastic waste solutions can be judged on measurable environmental and economic value of the final product, rather than an assumed or subjective value” 可知，提出 “螺旋式再利用系统” 是为了摆脱带有倾向性的术语，从而基于可衡量的价值进行判断，故选 C。A 项 “简化塑料废物管理”、B 项 “将塑料视为简单商品” 均与原文 “将塑料材料视为像原油一样的复杂混合物” 不符；D 项 “取代所有现行回收方法” 过于绝对。 第 35 题 C 文章反复强调应基于可衡量的环境和经济价值来评估塑料废物解决方案，最后一段明确呼吁 “plastic waste solutions can be judged on measurable environmental and economic value”，故选 C。A 项 “停止使用塑料材料” 无依据；B 项 “开发更多回收技术” 非文章重点；D 项 “推广升级循环而非降级循环” 与作者反对使用倾向性术语的观点相悖。 21 浙江省金华十校2026年4月高三模拟考试（二模） C篇 本文介绍了PulseNet——一个美国国家实验室网络，它通过分析食源性病原体的DNA指纹图谱，实现快速识别和关联疫情暴发，极大地缩短了疾病检测时间，挽救了生命，并在过去三十年中预防了大量食源性疾病。 28. B第一段描述1993年快餐店食物中毒事件：调查人员用了39天确定疾病关联，又花了一个多月找到致病源（被大肠杆菌污染的汉堡）。这凸显了当时疾病检测效率低下，从而引出后续PulseNet的诞生背景。A项“食品安全是首要任务”不是重点；C项“快餐需要更严格监管”未提及；D项“公共卫生是挑战性议题”过于宽泛。 29. D第三段明确：“PulseNet is a national laboratory network that analyzes a pathogen's unique DNA fingerprint.”（PulseNet是一个分析病原体独特DNA指纹的实验室网络。）因此它能对细菌进行DNA分析。A项“识别罕见细菌”不准确；B项“治愈某些疾病”未提及；C项“收集患者指纹”曲解。 30. B第五段提到：召回超过10亿磅受污染食品、预防约27万例食源性疾病、开发新平台PulseNet 2.0等。这些都在说明PulseNet的贡献与成就。A项“特点”、C项“未来计划”、D项“工作原理”均不是本段重点。 31. B全文从食物中毒事件引出问题，到PulseNet的诞生、功能、成就，整体是在介绍一个实验室网络。A项“解释PulseNet的诞生”过于片面；C项“为周年纪念收集故事”是最后一段的细节；D项“展示食品安全工具的进步”不够具体。 D篇 本文讲述了14岁的Zeynep Demirbas通过实验测试多个大语言模型（LLMs）检测文本中压力的能力。她发现专为心理健康设计的模型得分最高（约82%），而ChatGPT仅约74%，甚至不如简单的随机森林模型。她认为LLMs不应取代人类治疗师，但可以辅助识别有心理健康问题的人并转介给专业人士。 32. A第一段提到朋友说保险公司在推动使用AI（如ChatGPT）进行心理健康服务。Zeynep担心AI能否被信任用于心理健康。因此A正确。 33. C第二段说明Zeynep给模型一个包含3500多条帖子的数据集，人类评分者已经将每条帖子标记为“有压力”或“无压力”，这为测试LLM的准确性提供了基准（ground truth）。因此C正确。 34. D第四段Zeynep指出ChatGPT的表现甚至不如随机森林模型（一个简单、古老的技术），并以此作为基线，突出LLMs在测试中的糟糕表现。因此D正确。 35. D最后一段Zeynep认为LLMs不应取代人类治疗师，它们可以辅助识别问题并转介给专业人士，但最终的主导仍是人类。因此D正确。 22 辽宁省沈阳市2026届高中三年级教学质量监测（二模） C篇 【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了英国新年植物调查的结果，指出由于气温上升，大量本土植物在冬季开花，科学家认为这是气候崩溃影响自然界的“可见信号”。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Daisies (雏菊) and dandelions (蒲公英) are among hundreds of native plant species blooming in the UK, in what scientists have called a “visible signal” of climate breakdown upsetting the natural world. (雏菊和蒲公英是英国数百种开花本土植物中的一部分，科学家称这是气候变化扰乱自然界的“可见信号”)”可知，科学家所说的“可见信号”指的是原本不应在冬季开花的植物现在却开花了，即开花时间提前。故选A。 【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Kevin Walker, a scientist at BSBI, said it was a “visible signal” of climate change that people could see in their own gardens. “This new analysis shows a very clear link between rising temperatures and impacts on our plant species,” said Walker. “This is yet further evidence that climate change is affecting our wildlife on the whole.”(BSBI（英国植物学会）的科学家凯文・沃克表示，这是人们在自家花园里就能亲眼看到的气候变化 “明显信号”。沃克说：“这项新的分析表明，气温上升与对我们植物物种的影响之间存在非常明确的关联。这进一步证明，气候变化正从整体上影响着我们的野生生物。”)”可知，凯文认为气温上升与植物物种之间存在非常明确的联系，且对此持肯定、确信的态度。故选B。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第六段“Fossil fuel pollution has heated the planet by an average of about 1.4℃ above preindustrial levels, worsening weather extremes and disturbing habitats. (化石燃料污染使地球平均温度比工业化前水平升高了约1.4℃，加剧了极端天气，破坏了栖息地)”可知，化石燃料的燃烧导致了气温上升。故选A。 【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Kevin Walker, a scientist at BSBI, said it was a “visible signal” of climate change that people could see in their own gardens. “This new analysis shows a very clear link between rising temperatures and impacts on our plant species,” said Walker. “This is yet further evidence that climate change is affecting our wildlife on the whole.”(不列颠群岛植物学会的科学家凯文·沃克表示，这是人们可以在自家花园中看到的气候变化的“明显信号”。沃克说：“这项新分析表明，气温上升与对我们植物物种的影响之间存在非常明显的联系。这进一步证明了气候变化正在影响我们的整个野生动物。”)”和最后一段“Debbie Hemming, a vegetation expert at the Met Office, said it was “physical evidence” that climate breakdown was directly influencing the world around us. “These findings underscore how rising temperatures and increasing extreme climate events are shifting the natural cycles of our plants and wildlife,” she said. (英国气象局植被专家黛比·海明表示，这是气候崩溃直接影响我们周围世界的“物理证据”。她说：“这些发现强调了气温上升和极端气候事件增多如何改变我们的植物和野生动物的自然周期。”)”可知，文章主要介绍了气候变化对植物物种的影响，全文通过植物开花这一现象，旨在告知人们气候变化正在影响植物物种。故选D。 D篇 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究，该研究发现高脂肪饮食（垃圾食品）会通过影响大脑中特定神经元（CCK中间神经元）的活性，从而快速损害记忆。 【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Led by UNC School of Medicine’s Juan Song and Taylor Landry, researchers found that a special group of brain cells in the hippocampus (海马体), called CCK interneurons (神经元), become overly active after eating a high-fat diet (HFD), due to a damaged ability of the brain to receive glucose (sugar). (由北卡罗来纳大学医学院的Juan Song和Taylor Landry领导的研究人员发现，由于大脑接收葡萄糖的能力受损，海马体中一组特殊的脑细胞，称为CCK中间神经元，在食用高脂肪饮食 (HFD)后会变得过度活跃)”可知，CCK中间神经元对高脂肪饮食很敏感。故选A。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段““We knew that diet and metabolism (新陈代谢) could affect brain health, but we didn’t expect to find such a specific group of brain cells, CCK interneurons in the hippocampus, that were directly disrupted by short-term high-fat diet exposure,” Song said, who is a member of the UNC Neuroscience Center. “What surprised us most was how quickly these cells changed their activity in response to reduced glucose availability, and how this shift alone was enough to damage memory.”(“我们知道饮食和新陈代谢会影响大脑健康，但我们没想到会发现这样一组特定的脑细胞，即海马体中的CCK中间神经元，会直接受到短期高脂肪饮食的影响，”北卡罗来纳大学神经科学中心成员Song说。“最让我们惊讶的是，这些细胞对葡萄糖供应减少的反应速度有多快，以及这种变化本身就足以损害记忆。”)”可知，Song最初认为饮食和新陈代谢会影响大脑健康，但没想到短期高脂肪饮食会如此迅速地影响CCK细胞。故选C。 【34题详解】词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“In the long run, such strategies could help reduce the growing burden of dementia (痴呆) and Alzheimer’s linked to metabolic disorders, offering more holistic care that addresses the whole person, both body and brain. (从长远来看，这些策略有助于减轻与代谢紊乱相关的痴呆症和阿尔茨海默症日益加重的负担，提供更holistic护理，照顾到整个人的身体和大脑)”可知，这些策略可以照顾到整个人的身体和大脑，所以是提供“全面的”护理，holistic意为“全面的，综合的”。故选D。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study from UNC School of Medicine researchers, published in Neuron, reveals how junk food negatively affects memory, increasing the risk of cognitive disorders. (北卡罗来纳大学医学院研究人员发表在《神经元》杂志上的一项新研究揭示了垃圾食品如何对记忆产生负面影响，增加认知障碍的风险)”以及全文内容可知，文章开篇点题，指出新研究揭示了垃圾食品如何负面影响记忆。全文围绕这一研究发现展开，介绍其机制、研究者的惊讶以及未来研究方向。因此，最合适的标题是“垃圾食品损害记忆”。故选B。 23 福建厦门市2026届3月高中毕业班模拟测试 C篇 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何更深入地欣赏艺术作品。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“So trust your eyes when they whisper their first impressions.(所以，当你的眼睛轻声传达第一印象时，要相信它们)”可知，在欣赏艺术作品时，作者建议观众首先依靠最初的视觉印象，故选D项。 【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“When we look at a painting, we get somebody’s message sent to us. One heart is trying to speak to another. Take Daughters Chasing a Butterfly by Thomas Gainsborough for example.(当我们看一幅画时，我们接收到了某人传递给我们的信息。一颗心试图与另一颗心对话。以托马斯·庚斯博罗的《女儿们追逐蝴蝶》为例)”可知，提到庚斯博罗的画是为了说明欣赏艺术涉及心灵与心灵的连接，故选B项。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“Instead of limiting your appreciation to what you like, expand it to include what many others have liked before you.(不要把你的鉴赏局限于自己喜欢的事物，而应拓宽眼界，去接纳那些在你之前就已被无数人喜爱的作品)”可知，作者建议在评判艺术时考虑他人的意见，故选A项。 【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Getting the most out of going to galleries involves more than just showing up. While a casual approach — “I don’t know much about art, but I know what I like” — might satisfy some, truly appreciating a painting requires a determination to go deeper.(想要充分享受逛美术馆的乐趣，仅仅到场是远远不够的。虽然 “我不懂艺术，但我知道自己喜欢什么” 这种随性的态度或许能让一些人感到满足，但真正欣赏一幅画作，需要有决心去看得更深)”可知，文章围绕如何更好地欣赏艺术展开，介绍了欣赏艺术的方法，如相信最初视觉印象、感受心灵连接、考虑他人意见等，A选项“How to better engage with art.（如何更好地欣赏艺术。）”能概括文章主要内容。故选A项。 D篇 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。 【32题详解】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。 【33题详解】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。 【34题详解】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。 【35题详解】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。 24 江苏省南师附中、浙江省杭州二中、湖南省长郡中学2026届4月三校联考 C篇 主要介绍近年来在品牌塑造中，日常产品赋予人类特征的卡通式设计流行这一趋势，分析其流行原因，也指出广泛使用带来的问题，强调应创造性使用这种设计。 【28题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“In recent years, a new trend has become common in branding: everyday products such as food, drinks and even tools are given human features, like smiling faces and simple arms and legs. These lively images can now be seen in shops, advertisements and online platforms.(近年来，品牌塑造中出现了一种新趋势：食品、饮料甚至工具等日常产品都被赋予了人类特征，比如笑脸、简单的胳膊和腿。这些生动的形象现在可以在商店、广告和网络平台上看到)”可知，第一段主要讲的是在产品品牌塑造中越来越多地使用类人特征。 【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“In a fast-paced and sometimes stressful world, people are naturally drawn to things that are simple and enjoyable. Compared with more serious or formal designs, these playful images can make people feel relaxed.(在一个快节奏且有时充满压力的世界里，人们自然会被简单且令人愉悦的事物所吸引。与更严肃或正式的设计相比，这些有趣的形象能让人感到放松)”可知，消费者倾向于选择能帮助缓解压力的设计。 【30题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词下文“This kind of design can be traced back to early animation, where characters were drawn with simple shapes and clear expressions. Today’s designers combine these elements with modern tastes, creating images that feel both familiar and new.(这种设计可以追溯到早期的动画，那时的角色是用简单的形状和清晰的表情绘制的。如今的设计师将这些元素与现代审美相结合，创造出既熟悉又新颖的形象)”可知，现在的设计受到早期艺术风格的影响，所以“inheritance”意思是“影响”。 【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“As a result, different brands may begin to look alike, making it harder for consumers to tell them apart. This may weaken the unique image that a brand tries to build.(结果，不同品牌可能开始看起来很相似，这使得消费者更难区分它们。这可能会削弱一个品牌试图建立的独特形象)”可知，相似的设计可能会削弱品牌的独特身份。 D篇 文章介绍考古学家在埃及尼罗三角洲运用新型探测技术，发现一处两千六百年前古建筑，并说明该技术优势与应用前景。 【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Archaeologists working in Egypt’s Nile Delta may have discovered a structure dating back around 2,600 years while testing a new technology designed to locate structures buried deep beneath the surface.(在埃及尼罗河三角洲工作的考古学家，在测试一项旨在定位深埋地下建筑的新技术时，发现了一座约2600年前的建筑)”以及第四段“Guided by these results, they carried out a small excavation, which uncovered mudbrick walls and religious artifacts where the sensors had predicted.(在这些结果的指导下，他们进行了小规模挖掘，在设备预测的位置挖出了泥砖墙和宗教文物)”可知，这项新技术主要用来帮助考古学家确定挖掘位置。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“However, the oldest parts of the city are now buried beneath later ruins and thick mud deposits. This would make traditional digging difficult, time-consuming, and expensive, as archaeologists have to move large tons of debris or struggle with groundwater to reach lower levels.(然而，这座城市最古老的部分如今被后期遗迹和厚厚的淤泥沉积物掩埋。这使得传统挖掘难度大、耗时长、成本高，考古人员需要搬运大量渣土，还要应对地下水才能挖到深层区域)”可知，传统挖掘难度大是因为深层遗迹被后期沉积物覆盖，还存在地下水阻碍。 【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“When it detected something of interest, they followed up with ERT, which sends electrical currents between a series of electrodes placed in the ground to create a three-dimensional model of subsurface structures based on how different materials conduct or resist electricity.(当卫星发现可疑点位后，研究人员启用ERT技术，在地面布设电极输送电流，依据不同材料的导电、阻电特性，生成地下建筑的三维模型)”可知，ERT技术的核心作用是生成地下结构的三维影像。 【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“The results of this study demonstrate the effectiveness of combining geophysical measurements and remote sensing data, which can accurately detect buried settlements in a complex region. The researchers now plan to expand these surveys with larger equipment to reach even deeper, older levels and they believe their integrated approach can be used to map other archaeological sites before anyone has to pick up a shovel.(研究结果证明，结合地球物理探测与遥感数据的方式十分高效，能精准定位复杂区域的地下遗址。研究人员计划升级设备探测更深层古迹，还表示这套综合方法可在实地挖掘前完成多处考古遗址勘测)”可知，这套综合探测技术无需大规模人工开挖，精准高效，能提升考古勘探整体效率。 25 河北省石家庄市2026届普通高中毕业年级教学质量检测（二） C篇 本文探讨了在科技快速发展和AI普及的背景下，“工作准备”这一概念的演变。传统的线性职业路径已被淘汰，现代职场需要持续学习、数字素养、适应能力和软技能。不同世代（Z世代、Y世代、X世代和婴儿潮一代）都感受到不同程度的准备不足，教育者和雇主应提供灵活的学习机会（如微证书、短期课程）和支持，帮助员工持续成长。真正的准备是一种持续适应和成长的承诺，而非一劳永逸的状态。 28. D第二段提到传统教育和职业体系优先考虑线性职业路径和固定角色（linear career paths and fixed roles），但当今世界要求更“fluid”的东西。结合上下文，科技和AI快速变化，行业被颠覆，因此“fluid”应指动态的、流动的、灵活的。A项“实用的”、B项“有挑战性的”、C项“可预测的”均不符合。 29. A第四段指出：“most young professionals say they’re struggling... with 87% of Generation Zs feeling unprepared for the competitive job market.”（87%的Z世代感到没有准备好），而Y世代为72%，X世代和婴儿潮一代相对稳定但技能可能过时。因此Z世代的比例最高。B项“Y世代对未来职业更少担忧”错误，他们也有72%感觉 unprepared；C项“X世代和婴儿潮一代的技能永远相关”与“skills may not remain relevant for long”矛盾；D项“老一代不需要进一步教育”与“continuing education can go a long way”矛盾。 30. D第三段提到“creating accessible opportunities, such as micro-credentials and short certificate programs to upskill quickly and affordably.”（创造可及的机会，如微证书和短期证书项目，以快速且负担得起地提升技能）。因此建议参加短期技能培训。A项“优先高级技术知识”不准确；B项“坚持长期建立的工作惯例”与适应变化相反；C项“持续寻求更高学位”文中未提倡。 31. A全文围绕“工作准备”在当今时代的新含义展开，从传统定义到当下要求，再到不同世代的现状和建议，最终总结准备是持续成长的过程。因此作者的主要目的是解释现代职场准备的含义。B项“反对过时的教育体系”是部分内容，不是整体目的；C项“推荐个人发展课程”过于具体；D项“比较不同世代的工作表现”不是重点。 D篇 本文指出，由于科学家长期使用卫星重力场模型估算海平面，忽略了洋流、风、潮汐等局部因素，导致全球沿海海平面被低估，受影响人口被严重少算。这一发现为政策制定者提供了更可靠的证据，且表明适用于欧美的方法在全球其他地区可能误差更大。 32. D第四段明确指出：“That matters as policymakers turn to science to understand how much land and how many people may be affected...” 以及第六段指出大部分研究未正确评估当前海平面，这会导致政策依据不足。因此，研究的价值在于为决策者提供更准确的数据。A项“帮助改进测量技术”不是文中强调的重要性；B项“说服科学家改变方法”是结果，不是重要性的直接原因；C项“解释海平面为何上升”不是本文焦点。 33. B第三段和第五段指出，科学家常用卫星重力场模型，但它忽略了“local differences from factors like currents, winds and tides”（洋流、风、潮汐等局部因素），而这些因素会影响实际海平面。因此B正确。A项“依赖无效数据”不准确；C项“高估风险”与文中“低估”相反；D项“忽视全球变暖影响”未提及。 34. B最后一段Minderhoud说，研究海平面上升的方法“seemed to work relatively well for coastlines in Europe or the United States”，但“led to bigger gaps in other parts of the world”。由此可推断，欧洲适用的方法在全球其他地区可能不准确。A项“本地观测不如卫星数据可靠”无依据；C项“湄公河三角洲最受威胁”未提及；D项“需要更长时间检测变化”未提及。 35. A文章核心发现是，由于测量方法缺陷，实际海平面比许多地图和模型显示的要高（平均8英寸到1英尺），且更多人生活在危险区域。A项准确概括了这一新发现。B项“气候变化威胁人类生存”过于宽泛；C项“全球变暖导致海平面上升”是背景，不是本文新贡献；D项“卫星数据提高研究精度”与文章观点（卫星数据有缺陷）相悖。 26 湖北省武汉市2026届高中毕业生四月调研考试 C篇 本文对比了过去互联网的探索性、不确定性和多样性，与当今互联网（尤其是AI驱动的系统）追求舒适、平滑、确定性的特点。作者指出，后者虽然方便，却可能剥夺人类探索未知、独立思考的能力，导致人性的悄然衰退。文章呼吁重新选择服务于人而非控制人的系统。 28. A第一段描述过去互联网“noisy, chaotic, and dynamic”，每次点击都可能带来意想不到的新内容，让用户享受信息交换和思想交流的乐趣；而现在互联网“speaks in comforting statements”并提供平滑体验。因此，互联网失去的是多样化的观点和探索的乐趣。B项“大量信息”仍然存在；C项“快速回复”是现在的特点；D项“友好氛围”不是失去的核心。 29. D “By delegating such effort”指将探索不确定性的脑力劳动交给AI等系统。“delegate”意为“委托、移交”，与“hand off”（移交）同义。A项“投入”、B项“保持”、C项“转向求助于”均不准确。 30. B第三段指出，模型被训练成“以让我们舒适和确认我们的方式回答”，从而“maximize engagement and avoid debate”，即通过提供赞同性的回应来获得信任。A项“记住以往选择”是手段但不是直接获得信任的方式；C项“提出对立观点”与“avoid debate”矛盾；D项“解决潜在问题”文中未提。 31. D全文围绕当前互联网追求平滑、确定、舒适的体验，却导致人类探索和思考能力衰退这一“代价”展开。A项“数字时代的便利”只谈好处，未点出代价；B项“人类互动的衰退”范围过窄；C项“AI回答模型的兴起”只是现象，未揭示主旨。 D篇 本文介绍了斯坦福大学研究人员开发的新工具，用于设计和3D打印复杂血管网络，以解决再生医学中人造器官的血液供应问题。尽管目前打印出的血管网络尚未具备完全功能，但这是实现完整器官打印的关键第一步，研究者正致力于将细胞与血管网络在器官尺度上结合。 32. C根据第一段最后一句：“Researchers at Stanford have created new tools to design and 3D print the incredibly complex vascular trees needed to carry blood throughout an organ.”（斯坦福大学的研究人员创造了新工具来设计和3D打印将血液输送到整个器官所需的极其复杂的血管树。）因此，研究重点是设计可行的血管网络。A项“增加可用捐献器官”未提及；B项“消除致命的器官排斥”不是重点；D项“开发个性化3D生物打印机”是手段而非目标。 33. A第二段描述了研究的具体成果：开发算法生成血管树、确保均匀分布血液、缩短生成时间、设计并打印出500个分支的血管模型、用3D生物打印机在细胞环中构建了25条血管网络。这些都属于研究取得的成就。B项“原理”、C项“目标”、D项“缺点”均不是本段主要内容。 34. A第四段中Dominic说：“This is the first step... We can print them at never-before-seen complexities, but they are not yet fully functional vessels. We’re working on that.”（这是第一步……我们可以以前所未有的复杂度打印它们，但它们还不是功能完整的血管。我们正在努力。）这表明他认为研究有前景（有希望）但不完整。B项“值得但有风险”、C项“多产但可疑”、D项“实用但昂贵”均不符合。 35. B最后一段最后一句：“We are now actively putting the two together: cells and vasculature, at organ scale.”（我们正在积极将两者结合起来：细胞和血管网络，在器官尺度上。）因此，下一步是更大规模地整合细胞和血管。A项“用干细胞打印整个器官”已完成（末段提到已生成足够心脏细胞可打印整个人类心脏）；C项“生成更多细胞”不是下一步重点；D项“产生血管树来维持心脏细胞”是已经做到的部分。 27 江西省南昌市2026届高三年级四月检测（二模） C篇 文章介绍门口效应的成因、相关研究，并给出缓解该记忆偏差的实用方法。 【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“the brain organizes experience into separate episodes called event models. Each room, each distinct context represents a separate episode with doorways serving as “event boundaries” that signal transitions between episodes. (大脑会将各类经历整理成独立的片段，这些片段被称作事件模型。每个房间、每一种不同的环境，都代表一段独立经历；而门口充当“事件边界”，标志着不同经历的切换过渡。)”可知，事件模型与特定的环境相关联。 【29题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Retracing your steps works because it reinstates the original episode and brings back the buried intention to the surface. (原路折返之所以管用，是因为它能reinstates最初的场景片段，让被搁置的想法重新浮现。)”可知，原路返回会让最初的片段再次呈现，也就是恢复原来的片段，所以“reinstates”在此处意为“恢复”，与restore意思相近。 【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Scientists once believed time was the primary factor in memory access and later research showed it was the amount of new information arriving over time, he noted. The doorway studies added a third dimension, the structure of experience itself, adjusting access to the immediately relevant memories accordingly. (他指出，科学家曾认为，时间是影响记忆调取的主要因素；后续研究又表明，真正关键的是随时间累积的新信息量。而关于门口效应的研究增添了第三个维度——经历本身的结构，并据此调整我们对即时相关记忆的调取能力。)”可知，Zacks认为Radvansky的研究增加了新的维度，提供了新的记忆视角。 【31题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For everyday purposes, forming a clear, specific intention before crossing a doorway rather than relying on surrounding memory, reduces the chance of losing it at the boundary. Writing it down achieves the same effect as it moves the intention into an external record that location-updating process can’t touch. (在日常生活中，穿过门口前形成清晰、明确的想法，而非依赖周遭环境记忆，能减少在场景分界处遗忘想法的概率。将其写下来也能起到同样效果，因为这一做法把想法转化为外部记录，不会受场景切换更新机制的影响。)”可知，将具体想法外化记录下来可预防门口效应。 D篇 文章主要介绍了静电现象以及科学家对其产生原因的新发现。 【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Static electricity is a common phenomenon that we experience daily. Take off a sweater in winter, and you might hear a sudden sound; brush a balloon against your hair, and the hair stands on end.(静电是我们日常生活中常见的一种现象。冬天脱毛衣时，你可能会听到突然的声音；用气球摩擦头发，头发就会竖起来。)”可知，作者通过提供日常例子来引入话题。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Repeated physical interactions cause tiny surface shape changes. This physical wear systematically shifts the material’s tendency toward negative charging.(反复的物理相互作用会导致表面形状的微小变化。这种物理磨损系统地改变了材料向负电荷带电的趋势。)”可知，材料的带电倾向取决于表面形状变化。 【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“These substances, which are everywhere in the atmosphere, gradually coat all exposed surfaces with an invisible layer. When researchers heated the materials to high temperatures to completely remove this environmental pollution, they observed something amazing: the direction of the charge exchange went in the opposite direction, proving that the unseen pollution secretly governed the electrical reaction.(这些物质在大气中无处不在，它们逐渐在所有暴露的表面上覆盖一层看不见的层。当研究人员将材料加热到高温以完全去除这种环境污染时，他们观察到了一个惊人的现象：电荷交换的方向发生了相反的变化，这证明了看不见的污染秘密地控制着电反应。)”可知，从实地研究中可以得出隐形涂层控制着电反应的结论。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“These exciting findings challenge the conventional idea of a fixed ranking. A material’s electrical identity is actually dynamic, shaped by its physical history and environmental exposure. By mapping these hidden factors, scientists are turning a long-held mystery into a predictable science. This deeper understanding will help develop battery-free wearable devices, prevent industrial disastrous explosions, and even evaluate the potential damage of lunar dust to future space missions.(这些令人兴奋的发现挑战了传统的固定排名观念。材料的电特性实际上是动态的，由其物理历史和环境暴露所决定。通过绘制这些隐藏因素，科学家们正在将一个长期存在的谜团变成一门可预测的科学。这种更深入的理解将有助于开发无电池可穿戴设备，防止工业灾难性爆炸，甚至评估月球尘埃对未来太空任务的潜在损害。)”可知，最后一段主要讲的是对这些发现的评估以及这些发现可以应用到的领域。 28 广东省广州市2026届普通高中毕业班综合测试（二） C篇 文章主要讲的是食物作家陈玉慧认为在线订餐便利剥夺了人们的饮食自主权，并反映出效率优先的社会中社区生活的丧失，食物是理解世界的最小单位。 【8题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“People might not realize that one basic life necessity has slipped from their control: meals. With the rise of online platforms, people enjoy the freedom to get anything quickly and at a reasonable price. However, food writer Chen Yuhui argues in her book Who Decides What to Eat that this convenience has robbed people of their autonomy over food, reflecting a greater loss of community life in a result-driven society that prioritizes efficiency. (人们或许并未意识到，生活中的一项基本必需品已经脱离了他们的掌控：那就是食物。随着网络平台的兴起，人们能够以合理的价格迅速获得任何所需物品。然而，美食作家陈玉慧在其著作《谁来决定吃什么》中指出，这种便利性剥夺了人们对食物的自主选择权，反映出在一个注重效率、结果导向的社会中，社区生活出现了更大的缺失。)”可知，本段先指出人们未察觉饮食自主权丧失，随后引用陈玉慧观点，指出外卖平台便利背后隐藏的代价——剥夺了人们的自主权，反映社会注重效率而牺牲社区生活。选项B“食物便利的隐性代价”准确概括此意。 【9题详解】词句猜测题。根据第四段“they show lifeless food, unlike the fresh produce in markets, and this limits people’s imagination about food. (它们展示的是毫无生机的食物，不像市场上的新鲜农产品那样有活力，这限制了人们对食物的想象。)”可知，这些图片展示的是没有生气的食物，与市场上鲜活的农产品形成对比。D项“它们未能展现真实而鲜活的食物”与此一致。 【10题详解】推理判断题。文中倒数第二段“Buying groceries and cooking involve a certain level of acceptance of mistakes. Yet many today seem to have little patience with them. (购买食品和烹饪涉及一定程度的对错误的接受。然而，如今很多人似乎对这些不太有耐心。)”可知，买菜做饭需接受一定犯错可能性，但人们缺乏耐心，注重结果导向使得外卖更受欢迎，因其看似保证更好结果。这反映出人们渴望避免不确定性。A项“他们避免不确定性的愿望”符合文意。 【11题详解】推理判断题。文章最后一段“Beyond the loss of autonomy, Chen sees something deeper in food — it’s a microcosm for understanding the world. “If you love tomatoes but find them plain, do you complain or invest effort to find flavorful ones? Searching for the right variety shows different problem-solving abilities, which is what I mean by food being the smallest unit for understanding the world,” she concludes. (除了失去自主权之外，陈还从食物中看到了更深层次的东西——它是一个理解世界的缩影。“如果你喜欢西红柿但觉得它们味道平淡，你会抱怨还是会努力去寻找味道更好的品种呢？寻找合适的品种体现了不同的解决问题的能力，这就是我所说的食物是理解世界最小的单位的原因。”她总结道。)”可知，食物是理解世界的微小单位，人与食物的关系反映了世界观。D项“我们与食物的关系映射我们的世界观”准确传达此信息。 D篇 文章主要讲的是中国科学家开发出一种结合固体冷却效应与液体流动的新型制冷方法，解决了传统固态制冷技术传热效率低的核心难题，实现了低污染、强冷却和快速传热的平衡，并在实验室测试中展现出显著的温降性能与高能效比。 【12题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“While solid-state cooling avoids harmful gases, it suffers from poor heat transfer, limiting its real-world application. (虽然固态冷却避免了有害气体的排放，但其传热效果不佳，限制了其在实际应用中的推广。)”可知，传统固态冷却系统的主要问题是它们散热效果不佳。 【13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Led by Professor Li Bing from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research team overcame this by combining solid cooling effects with liquid flow. (由中国科学院的李兵教授领导的研究团队通过将固态冷却效果与液体流动相结合克服了这一难题。)”和第四段““Unlike traditional solid methods, where heat moves slowly, our system integrates the refrigerant and heat-transfer medium into a single liquid,” Li said. (李教授表示：“与传统的固态方法不同，我们的系统将制冷剂和传热介质整合到了一种单一的液体中，这样热量的传递就变得迅速得多。”)”可知，创新在于将固态冷却效应与液态传热结合。 【14题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段“This solves the ‘impossible triangle’ — achieving low pollution, strong cooling, and fast heat transfer all at once. (这解决了‘不可能的三角形’问题——同时实现低污染、强冷却和快速散热。)”可知，此处引用这一概念是为了凸显新系统同时兼顾了以往技术难以兼得的三个优势，从而突出其创新价值与突破性。 【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“He noted the method’s strong high-temperature performance makes it an ideal candidate for heat management in next-generation AI computing facilities. (他指出，该方法在高温方面的出色表现使其成为下一代人工智能计算设施中热管理的理想选择。)”可知，这项新技术可以冷却未来的人工智能数据中心。 29 广东省深圳市2026届高三年级第二次调研考试（二模） C篇 本文介绍了“休闲塑造”（leisure crafting）的概念，即通过有目的地安排已有的休闲活动（如设定目标、促进社交、培养技能），来提升能量、情绪和幸福感，同时强调要避免将爱好变成第二份工作，保持休闲的本质。 28. A第一段描述周末休息（如刷手机）后，周一依然感到疲惫，并发出疑问“有没有更好的充电方式？”这直指缺乏有效的休息方法这一现象。B项“周末工作”与原文“spend your weekend resting”不符；C项“手机上瘾”是具体例子，而非现象本质；D项“对未来焦虑”未提及。 29. C第二段明确：“It involves structuring things you already enjoy doing with intentionality so that they help you set individual goals, promote social connections, and build skills.”（有目的地安排已经喜欢做的事情……）因此核心特征是有目的地行动。A项“转移生活重心”、B项“延长空闲时间”、D项“培养新爱好”均不准确。 30. C第三段通过研究数据说明：进行休闲塑造后，人们报告“higher energy levels, more positive moods, and stronger overall well-being”（更高的能量水平、更积极的情绪、更强的总体幸福感），因此本段主要讲它的益处。 31. B第四段指出休闲塑造需要投入但仍是休闲，不能变成第二份工作。研究显示每周超过60小时效率不再增加，过度投入（即使是为了精进爱好）会使人更累。因此引用研究的目的是警告不要过度进行休闲塑造。A项“反对设定不切实际的目标”不准确；C项“解释承诺为何重要”不是重点；D项“证明休闲塑造提高效率”与文意（过度会降低效率）相悖。 D篇 本文报道了一项关于水稻基因 WRINKLED1a 的研究，该基因调控氮素缺乏条件下根与茎的生长平衡。通过改良这一基因，可以在减少氮肥使用的同时保持稳定产量，从而降低农业对人工氮肥的依赖，促进可持续农业。 32. C.定位到第二段：“For decades, the gene behind this trade-off has been unknown. In a new study, researchers ... not only identified the gene responsible, but demonstrated that modifying it in rice can ensure stable shoot growth and yields even when nitrogen levels are low.”（几十年来，这种权衡背后的基因一直未知。在一项新研究中，研究人员不仅确定了相关基因，还证明了修改它可以确保在低氮水平下茎叶稳定生长和产量。）这说明研究聚焦于这一权衡的基因机制（genetic mechanism）。A项“经济成本”、B项“营养需求”、D项“环境影响”均不是研究重点。 33. A定位到第三段：“the team found that a gene in rice called WRINKLED1a has distinct roles in the shoot and root ... showing that its roles are tissue-specific.”（该基因在茎和根中具有不同的作用……表明其作用是组织特异性的。）因此，该基因在不同组织中的功能不同。B项“其作用仅限于茎”错误；C项“它促进蛋白质复合物的形成”与原文“在根中阻止该复合物形成”矛盾；D项“它降低根中的氮水平”未提及。 34. B定位到第一段和第二段：第一段指出氮肥造成水污染和土壤退化；第二段指出该突破“could ultimately reduce dependence on artificial fertilisers”（最终可能减少对人工肥料的依赖）。减少肥料使用有助于环境保护，推动可持续农业（sustainable farming）。A项“促进食物多样性”未提及；C项“证明氮肥使用的合理性”与文意相反；D项“推进水稻育种方法”虽是手段，但不是最终目的。 35. D定位到最后一段：“The next step is to investigate whether similar genes in other crops, such as wheat and corn, can be used to achieve the same outcomes.”（下一步是研究小麦、玉米等其他作物中类似基因是否能实现相同效果。）这指明了未来研究的方向。A项“研究的局限性”未直接体现；B项“应用研究发现的挑战”未提及；C项“需要验证结果”不是她话语的核心。 30 河南省2026届高三下学期高考适应性考试 C篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“居家医院”这一新型医疗服务模式，包括其起源、优势、面临 挑战以及未来的发展前景。 【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“After being treated for an infection at the VCU Medical Center’s hospital, 81-year-old Robert Diegelmann completed his 10-day hospital visit, when his doctor suggested he continue his treatment at home, some 15 miles away. With nurses visiting twice a day, and round-the-clock access to a clinician via phone, he gained a quick recovery in his comfortable home.(81岁的Robert Diegelmann在弗吉尼亚联邦大学医学中心医院接受感染治疗后，完成了10天的住院治疗，当时他的医生建议他在约15英里外的家中继续治疗。在护士每天两次上门、随时可以通过电话联系临床医生的情况下，他在舒适的家中迅速康复。)”可知，作者提到Robert Diegelmann是为了呈现“居家医院”这种新的医疗服务形式。故选B项。 【29题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Like Diegelmann, tens of thousands of hospitalized patients have received medical treatment in their own homes since the hospital-at-home program was carried out in some countries. It began in some regions of Australia in the 1990s, when the local government was under financial stress.(自从一些国家实施居家医院项目以来，像Diegelmann一样，数以万计的住院患者在自己家中接受了医疗治疗。该项目于20世纪90年代始于澳大利亚的一些地区，当时当地政府面临财政压力。)”以及“The first hospital-at-home trial in the United States, however, had a different motivation.(然而，美国的第一个居家医院试点项目有着不同的动机。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了居家医院是如何起源的。故选A项。 【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的““When a patient is home, things like changing and bathing do shift onto the household caregiver. It is quite tiring,” says Megan O’Reilly, a vice-president in the Medical Affairs Unit.(医疗事务部副总裁Megan O’Reilly说：“当病人在家时，换衣服和洗澡等事情就落到了家庭护理者身上。这相当累人。”)”可知，Megan O’Reilly认为当病人在家时，换衣服和洗澡等事情就落到了家庭护理者身上，这相当累人，即增加了病人家属的负担。故选D项。 【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段中的“Like Diegelmann, tens of thousands of hospitalized patients have received medical treatment in their own homes since the hospital-at-home program was carried out in some countries.(与Diegelmann一样，自从 “医院到家” 项目在部分国家推行以来，已有数万名住院患者在自己家中接受了医疗救治。一些国家实施了居家医院项目。)”以及全文围绕“居家医院”这一新型医疗服务展开可知，“把医院带回家”最适合作为本文标题。故选C项。 D篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了受自然界生物导航能力启发而研发的新型机器人导航系统，包括其设计原理、实验效果及应用前景。 【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Traditional robotic systems lean heavily on satellite-based GPS, whose signals are unstable in extreme geographical conditions. However, future robots will independently conduct search-and-rescue missions or explore dangerous environments with a level of reliability. Yet the most significant barrier to this autonomy is navigation (导航).(传统机器人系统严重依赖卫星GPS，其信号在极端地理条件下不稳定。然而，未来的机器人将以一定的可靠性独立执行搜救任务或探索危险环境。但这种自主性的最大障碍是导航。)”可知，作者将传统依赖GPS的机器人系统与未来需要自主导航的机器人进行对比，引出导航这一核心问题。故选C。 【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Rather than adopting a single biological strategy, researchers have built a unified framework that combines them together. Each contributes a different form of spacial awareness and solves a different aspect of the navigation puzzle, and together they provide a system capable of supporting long-term autonomy.(研究人员没有采用单一的生物策略，而是构建了一个将它们结合在一起的统一框架。每一种都提供了不同形式的空间感知，解决了导航难题的不同方面，共同构成了一个能够支持长期自主性的系统。)”可知，新导航框架的特点是采用了多种生物策略的结合。故选A。 【34题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段“The moment the robots’ primary sensors break down, multiple subsystems will step in, ensuring continuous performance without human intervention.(当机器人的主传感器发生故障时，多个子系统会介入，确保在无人干预的情况下持续运行。)”可知，该系统在传感器故障时仍能正常工作，因此“resilience”指的是“恢复力，适应力”，与B选项“The ability to function normally.(正常运行的能力。)”含义相似。故选B。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The emerging era of autonomous exploration begins with a simple insight borrowed from nature: This capacity is not the product of a single perfect system but the harmony of multiple ones. In this sense, robots will become more than machines. They will become partners capable of operating independently in the most demanding environments on Earth and beyond, guided by the evolutionary genius of the natural world.(自主探索的新时代始于一个从自然界借鉴的简单洞见：这种能力不是单一完美系统的产物，而是多个系统的和谐统一。从这个意义上说，机器人将不仅仅是机器。它们将成为能够在地球乃至太空最苛刻的环境中独立运行的伙伴，由自然界的进化智慧所引导。)”可知，作者想传达的核心是自然界一直是人类最伟大的工程师，为技术研发提供了灵感。故选B。 31.2026年4月稽阳联谊学校高三联考·英语 C篇·语篇类型：说明文 话题：生物恐惧症（biophobia）——对自然的恐惧日益普遍，成因复杂，后果深远 第28题答案：C 原文定位：第二段首句 Animal phobias affect only an estimated 4 to 5 percent of people worldwide. 正确项分析：C项Only a small percentage of people suffer from animal phobias是对原文only an estimated 4 to 5 percent的直接同义转述。small percentage对应4 to 5 percent。 干扰项分析： A项：stay indoors all the time过于绝对，原文只说push them away from natural spaces（远离自然空间），并非一直待在室内。属于绝对化错误。 B项：原文说许多没有恐惧症的人即使没有真实危险也对不熟悉的动物感到不安，并非dangerous animals导致。且biophobia不等同于animal phobias。属于因果错位+概念混淆。 D项：原文说动物恐惧症只是生物恐惧症的表现之一，但两者并非因果关系（because），且biophobia范围更广。属于因果倒置+逻辑错误。 命题者思维：本题为细节理解题，考查对第二段首句数据的精准把握。正确项C是对百分比数据的概括性转述，干扰项A将“远离自然空间”绝对化为“一直待在室内”，B偷换概念，D颠倒逻辑关系。 考生注意事项：数据细节题直接定位数字所在句。only an estimated 4 to 5 percent = only a small percentage。看到all the time等绝对化表述立刻警惕，正确项往往措辞温和。 第29题答案：B 原文定位：第三段首句 What underlies such discomfort? Individual psychology matters...Biology plays a role...Social factors appear especially powerful. 正确项分析：第三段以问句What underlies such discomfort?开头，随后从个人心理、生物学因素、社会因素三个维度分析生物恐惧症的成因。B项The sources of biophobia准确概括段落主旨。underlies = sources（来源、成因）。 干扰项分析： A项：essence强调事物根本属性，本段讲的是产生原因，非本质探讨。属于概念偏差。 C项：definition是第一段给出的内容（Nature triggers stress...），第三段已进入成因分析。属于段落错位。 D项：symptom是第一、二段描述的具体表现（anxiety, nausea, stress, keep out of parks）。属于段落错位。 命题者思维：本题为段落主旨题，考查对段落功能的理解。首句What underlies...是典型的主旨引导句，三个并列因素（individual/biology/social）直接指向sources。出题人将其他段落的内容设为干扰项。 考生注意事项：段落主旨题优先看首句。What underlies...直接点明本段要回答“原因”问题。underlie = 构成……的基础，对应source/origin。 第30题答案：A 原文定位：第四段 Nearly all existing research focuses on fear of animals rather than aversion to nature as a whole.最后一句...why discomfort against nature 正确项分析：句中rather than表示对比，fear of animals与aversion to nature形成对照。aversion与fear,discomfort语义相近，都指向负面情感。Strong dislike（强烈厌恶）最贴合语境。aversion源自拉丁语avertere（转开），本义为“避开、反感”。 干扰项分析： B、C、D项：Deep attraction（深深吸引）、Total closeness（完全亲近）、Special preference（特别偏爱）均与fear方向相反。属于反向干扰。 命题者思维：本题为词义猜测题，考查利用rather than对比关系推断词义的能力。rather than前后为近义对比，fear提示aversion也应是负面情感词。 考生注意事项：词义猜测题抓逻辑关系词。rather than前后并列对比，fear（恐惧）直接锁定dislike（厌恶）。aversion = strong dislike，是四级高频词。 第31题答案：D 原文定位：末段 People who avoid nature feel less connected to it, which further reduces outdoor exposure and leaves even fewer motivated to protect it. Over generations, that reinforcing cycle can thin people's relationship with the natural world, posing greater challenges for conservation efforts... 正确项分析：题目问哪一项“不是”生物恐惧症的后果。D项less outdoor exposure（减少户外暴露）是生物恐惧症的直接表现，而题干问consequences（后果）是指这种回避行为进一步引发的结果。A项（保护动机降低）、B项（人地关系削弱）、C项（保护面临更大挑战）都是less outdoor exposure引发的更深层后果。D是链条起点而非后果，因此选NOT的答案是D。 干扰项分析： A项：原文leaves even fewer motivated to protect it直接对应，是合理后果。 B项：原文thin people's relationship with the natural world直接对应，是合理后果。 C项：原文posing greater challenges for conservation efforts直接对应，是合理后果。 命题者思维：本题为逻辑推断题，考查区分“表现”与“后果”的能力。因果链条：生物恐惧症→减少户外暴露→保护动机降低→人地关系削弱→保护面临更大挑战。题干问consequences（后果），D是链条起点而非后果。 考生注意事项：NOT题需逐一判断选项在因果链中的位置。D项less outdoor exposure是现象本身，问后果时应排除。A、B、C都在原文末段有明确对应。 D篇·语篇类型：说明文（科技报道） 话题：中国首个商业脑机接口设备NEO获批——帮助四肢瘫痪患者恢复手部功能 第32题答案：D 原文定位：第三段 When a patient thinks about moving their hand, the coin-sized sensors...detect those signals and transmit them wirelessly to the robotic glove, which then moves the patient's fingers to grasp or release objects. 正确项分析：D项reading neural signals and controlling a robotic glove to move the fingers是对原文detect those signals and transmit them...to the robotic glove, which then moves the patient's fingers的准确概括。 干扰项分析： A项：原文未提及repairing damaged spinal nerves，设备读取信号但不修复神经。属于无中生有。 B项：原文明确说The system is also battery-free，且是通过机械手套移动手指，非直接刺激肌肉。属于反向干扰+对象错位。 C项：regenerate damaged brain tissue未提及，neural remodeling是辅助恢复而非再生。属于程度夸大。 命题者思维：本题为工作原理题，考查对NEO系统工作机制的准确理解。read signals → transmit to glove → move fingers，因果链清晰。出题人用无依据的“修复神经”“电池供电”“再生组织”作干扰。 考生注意事项：工作原理题找动作链。原文detect signals → transmit → glove moves fingers，直接对应D。 第33题答案：D 原文定位：第五段末句 suggesting the technology may help stimulate the recovery of additional neurological function. 正确项分析：D项may contribute to more neurological function recovery是对may help stimulate the recovery of additional neurological function的同义转述。may对应may，contribute to对应help stimulate，more recovery对应additional function。 干扰项分析： A项：fully restore过于绝对，原文may表可能性，且末段专家明确说cannot yet cure all patients。属于绝对化错误。 B项：原文未说因果关系，神经重塑是现象，手部功能改善是结果，两者可能并行。属于因果倒置。 C项：All patients绝对化，原文in some cases。属于绝对化错误。 命题者思维：本题为推断题，考查对suggesting后内容的精准理解。may help stimulate recovery = may contribute to recovery，温和表述是正确项特征。 考生注意事项：推断题抓情态动词和限定词。may help stimulate recovery = may contribute to，in some cases ≠ all patients。 第34题答案：A 原文定位：末段 he cautioned that BCI technology is still in its early stages. “We hope the public understands that current BCI technology cannot yet cure all patients. It only applies to a small number of people...” 正确项分析：still in its early stages（仍处于早期阶段）直接说明技术尚不成熟。A项Immature（不成熟的）准确概括专家评价。 干扰项分析： B项：Promising是前景，但专家语气是“谨慎提醒”，重点在局限。属于局部放大+情感偏差。 C项：Controversial强调争议，原文未提争议。属于无中生有。 D项：Doubtful是怀疑，专家是客观陈述现状和局限，非主观怀疑。属于情感偏差。 命题者思维：本题为观点态度题，考查对专家评价核心词的理解。still in its early stages = immature。出题人用正面词Promising作干扰，测试学生能否抓住专家的“谨慎”语气。 考生注意事项：态度题抓直接评价词。still in its early stages = immature。cannot yet cure all patients进一步印证技术不成熟。 第35题答案：C 原文定位：全文核心事件——首段首句 Chinese regulators approved what officials describe as the world's first invasive brain-computer interface device cleared for commercial use in patients. 正确项分析：C项China Approves First Commercial BCI Device精准概括全文核心新闻事件。首段明确点出“中国批准世界首个侵入式脑机接口设备用于商业用途”，全文围绕这一事件展开。 干扰项分析： A项：Breakthroughs范围过大，未点明BCI和中国首款。属于范围过宽。 B项：Neural Remodeling是第五段细节，非全文主旨。属于局部放大。 D项：Experts Caution是末段内容，服务于核心事件报道。属于局部放大。 命题者思维：本题为主旨题，考查对科技报道核心新闻点的把握。首段是新闻导语，China approved...first...BCI device是核心信息。 考生注意事项：科技报道标题抓“首次/首个”。world's first...BCI device cleared for commercial use直接对应First Commercial BCI Device。 32 武汉市高三四月调研考试英语试题卷 C篇语篇类型：议论文（科技批判） 话题：互联网的异化——从充满探索的喧闹市场，变成用舒适答案驯化我们的光滑系统。AI聊天机器人用迎合赢得信任，人性正被悄然侵蚀。 第28题答案：A 原文定位：首段对比旧互联网与今天：旧——noisy, chaotic, dynamic, unpredictable, joy in exchanging information and thoughts；今天——comforting statements, smooth experience, constant praise。 正确项分析：A项“多元观点”精准概括旧互联网的特征——exchange of thoughts、noisy/chaotic/dynamic都是多元思想碰撞的同义表达。今天只有comfort和praise，失去的正是这种多元性。 干扰项分析： B项：information的量不一定减少，是变得单一化而非减少。程度偏差。 C项：rapid replies未见对比。无中生有。 D项：friendly atmosphere今天的互联网更“友好”（comforting/constant praise），失去的不是友好而是多样性。方向相反。 命题者思维：对比题做两张特征清单。旧：多元碰撞 / 新：舒适单一 → 失去的是多元性（diverse viewpoints）。 考生注意事项：对比题列出两边的特征词。旧 = noisy/chaotic/exchanging thoughts → diversity。新 = comforting/smooth/constant praise → uniformity。 第29题答案：D 原文定位：第二段：By delegating such effort, do we still own the capabilities that help us navigate the unknown or even think for ourselves? 其中such effort指前文的mental effort required to explore uncertainties。 正确项分析：D项“移交/甩手交给（他人/机器）”精准对应delegating。将本应自己承担的脑力劳动“交出去”给AI → handing off。 干扰项分析： A项：putting in（投入）与delegate的“交出”方向相反。反向干扰。 B项：keeping up（跟上）不涉及转移行为。语义不符。 C项：turning to（转向……求助）有一定道理，但delegate强调“把任务委托出去”，hand off的“脱手交出”更精准。程度偏差。 命题者思维：词义猜测题利用上下文因果逻辑——把脑力交出去→我们还会自己思考吗？delegate = 委托/交办/脱手。 考生注意事项：delegate = 委托、把（工作）交出去。delegating effort = 把脑力活儿交出去。handing off最贴切。 第30题答案：B 原文定位：第三段：trained...on how to answer in ways that comfort us and confirm us...designed to please us；末句：what gets smoothed out, and what gets silenced。 正确项分析：B项“提供赞同/迎合的回复”精准概括。comfort us + confirm us + please us = 赞同式回应——告诉你想听的，让你感觉良好。approving responses是comfort/confirm/please的统一概括。 干扰项分析： A项：memorizing choices是认知模型的技术描述，不是“获得信任”的核心方式。手段偏差。 C项：presenting opposing ideas与原文完全相反——聊天机器人avoid debate, smooth out反对声音。反向干扰。 D项：resolving problems是附带功能，取得信任的核心是“迎合”。重心偏移。 命题者思维：手段题考查AI取信公式 = 舒适+肯定+取悦。三个动词（comfort/confirm/please）并列，统一指向“赞同式回应”。 考生注意事项：手段题锁定并列动词。comfort + confirm + please → 说你想听的 → approving responses。 第31题答案：D 原文定位：全文核心论点——互联网从探索变为平滑舒适，代价是人性被侵蚀。第二段the quiet yet disastrous decline of what makes us human；末段Our humanity and future depend on it。 正确项分析：D项“光滑网络世界的代价”精准概括全文——smooth是今天互联网的核心特征（smooth experience），price是作者的核心批判：舒适背后是探索欲和思辨力的丧失。The Price of a Smooth Cyberworld既准确又具文学张力。 干扰项分析： A项：convenience是正面表述，文章立场是批判性的。情感反向。 B项：decline of human interactions过于狭窄——主题是被侵蚀的是认知能力和人性本质，不限于人际互动。范围偏差。 C项：rise of AI answering models侧重技术层面，文章重点是“代价”而非模型崛起本身。重心偏移。 命题者思维：批判类议论文标题常取“代价/暗面 vs. 便利”结构。Smooth是全文核心意象，Price点明批判立场，是典型的文献型标题格式。 考生注意事项：批判文标题选带负面评价的抽象名词。smooth = 今天互联网的特征，price = 人性代价。A/C偏正向，B范围过窄。 D篇语篇类型：说明文（科技报道） 话题：斯坦福3D打印血管网络——为器官再生攻克“供血难题”的第一步。 第32题答案：C 原文定位：第一段末：Researchers at Stanford have created new tools to design and 3D print the incredibly complex vascular trees needed to carry blood throughout an organ。 正确项分析：C项“设计可用的血管网络”精准聚焦研究核心。vascular trees = vascular networks，design and print是核心动作。 干扰项分析： A项：increasing donor organs不相关，研究是再生器官。无关话题。 B项：removing rejections未提及。无中生有。 D项：developing 3D bio-printers误解了研究对象——打印的是血管网络而非打印机本身。偷换主语。 命题者思维：科研文主旨题首段末句往往是研究对象。vascular trees = 血管网络，design and 3D print = 设计并打印。 考生注意事项：首段末句锁定核心名词。vascular trees = 血管网络 → designing vascular networks。不要被器官移植背景信息带跑。 第33题答案：A 原文定位：第二段列举具体成果：algorithm to create vascular trees, 3D printed model with 500 branches, created thick ring loaded with cells, built network of 25 vessels。 正确项分析：A项“成就”精准概括。algorithm + model + ring + vessels都是已完成的成果清单。500 branches和25 vessels的具体数据是成果信号。 干扰项分析： B项：principles（原理）未展开解释。内容不符。 C项：objectives（目标）不是讨论重点。重心偏移。 D项：drawbacks（缺陷）是第三段的内容。段落错位。 命题者思维：科研成果段常罗列多个创新点。数字+成果动词（generated/created/built）→ achievements段落。 考生注意事项：有具体数字+“已完成”的相关描述→ achievements。缺点段在后面，不要张冠李戴。 第34题答案：A 原文定位：第三段Dominic原话：This is the first step toward generating really complex vascular networks...We can print them at never-before-seen complexities, but they are not yet fully functional vessels. We're working on that. 正确项分析：A项“有前景但不完善”精准概括Dominic的两面评价。promising = never-before-seen complexities（前所未见的复杂度）、first step toward（迈向目标的第一步）；incomplete = not yet fully functional（尚无功能）、still working on that（仍在努力）。 干扰项分析： B项：risky未提及。无中生有。 C项：questionable（存疑）负面语气与Dominic整体积极不符。情感偏差。 D项：costly未讨论成本。无中生有。 命题者思维：研究者引语题考查but前后的正负两面。never-before-seen（正面）but not yet fully functional（负面） → 有前景但未完成。 考生注意事项：引语有but时，答案需两面兼顾。but前 = 正面（promising），but后 = 局限（incomplete）。 第35题答案：B 原文定位：末段Dominic原话："We have successfully generated enough heart cells...to print the whole human heart, and now we can design a good, complex vascular tree to keep them fed and living. We are now actively putting the two together: cells and vasculature, at organ scale." 正确项分析：B项“在更大规模上整合细胞与血管”是对末句putting the two together: cells and vasculature, at organ scale的准确转述。下一步核心动作是“整合”——把已生成的心脏细胞和已设计好的血管树，在器官级别上组合在一起。Integrate = put together，on a larger scale = at organ scale。 干扰项分析： A项：print whole organs是远期愿景，但Dominic明确说当前步骤是putting the two together，打印完整器官是整合之后的下一步。时态超前。 C项：generate more cells是已完成的动作（have successfully generated）。已完成当未来。 D项：produce vascular trees to sustain heart cells也是已完成的步骤（now we can design），不是下一步。已完成当未来。 命题者思维：科研展望题考查区分“已完成”“进行中”“远期愿景”。are now actively doing = 当前进行，at organ scale = 整合规模。正确项锁定“现在正在做的核心动作”。 考生注意事项：时态是关键。have successfully generated = 已完成；now we can design = 已完成；are now actively putting together = 正在做 = 下一步核心动作。 2026年4月全国各地二模卷精选阅读理解CD篇 32套64篇答案及解析 第4页 共 4页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年4月全国各地二模卷阅读理解CD篇精选32套 目录 01 浙江省杭州市2026届高三第二学期教学质量检测（二模） 02 浙江省温州市普通高中2026届高三第二次适应性考试（二模） 03 江西省重点中学2026届高三4月八校联考 04 湖南省新高考教学教研联盟（长郡中学20校）2026届高三下学期第二次联考 05 辽宁省名校联盟2026届高三4月联合考试 06 浙江省宁波市2026届高三第二学期高考模拟考试（二模） 07 辽宁省大连市2026届高三4月综合模拟考试（一模） 08 安徽省A10联盟2026届高三4月质量评估 09 山东省2026届高三名校联盟4月核心素养评估 10 山东省济南市2026届高三第二次模拟考试（二模） 11 浙江省衢州、丽水、湖州三地市2026年4月高三教学质量检测（二模） 12 重庆市巴蜀中学2026届高考适应性月考卷(八) 13 福建省2026届高中毕业班4月适应性练习（福州版） 14 安徽省合肥市2026届高三第二次教学质量检测（二模） 15 重庆市南开中学2026届高三第七次质量检测（4月） 16 江苏省基地学校大联考2026届高三4月质量检测 17 河南省郑州市2026届高中毕业年级下学期第二次质量预测（二模） 18 湖北省新八校2026届高三4月联考（二模） 19 山东省潍坊市2026届高三4月模拟考试（二模） 20 天域全国名校协作体2026届高三4月联考 21 浙江省金华十校2026年4月高三模拟考试（二模） 22 辽宁省沈阳市2026届高中三年级教学质量监测（二模） 23 福建厦门市2026届3月高中毕业班模拟测试 24 江苏省南师附中、浙江省杭州二中、湖南省长郡中学2026届4月三校联考 25 河北省石家庄市2026届普通高中毕业年级教学质量检测（二） 26 湖北省武汉市2026届高中毕业生四月调研考试 27 江西省南昌市2026届高三年级四月检测（二模） 28 广东省广州市2026届普通高中毕业班综合测试（二） 29 广东省深圳市2026届高三年级第二次调研考试（二模） 30 河南省2026届高三下学期高考适应性考试 4月稽阳联谊学校高三联考·英语 32 武汉市高三四月调研考试英语试题卷 01 浙江省杭州市2026届高三第二学期教学质量检测（二模） C In recent years, consumers have increasingly sought “clean-label” foods—products made with natural ingredients. This trend has driven scientists to search for safe, natural preservatives. They have turned their attention to a part of the cashew nut(腰果) that is often thrown away-the shell. From it, they extract Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) and find that it contains special natural substances that can fight bacteria and prevent decay(变质). While this dark liquid has been studied for use in industries like paint and medicine, its potential for preserving food had not been fully explored until now. The scientists designed a careful experiment to test whether CNSL could help preserve beef, one of the most widely consumed meats globally. They applied the liquid to beef samples at different concentrations. Some meat was left untreated as controls. The samples were then stored under different conditions - some at room temperature and others in refrigeration-for two weeks. During storage, a detailed microbiological evaluation was conducted to quantify total viable(活菌) counts and specific spoilage organisms, including Pseudomonas spp., Clostridium spp., and Proteus spp. Physicochemical analyses monitored changes in pH and water activity, while bacteria growth was assessed during storage at room temperature. The scientists discovered that the CNSL-treated meat showed significantly less bacterial growth than untreated meat. The effect was strongest at higher concentrations, with a 2.0% solution providing excellent protection while maintaining meat quality. Even at room temperature, it effectively delayed the meat’s souring process and reduced bacteria growth, helping the beef stay fresh-looking longer. The researchers note that further studies are needed to understand whether the liquid affects the taste and texture of the beef, and how it might be combined with modern packaging for even better results. Still, this study opens a window into nature’s own way of keeping food fresh-hidden inside a humble cashew shell. 28. Why are scientists studying cashew nut shells? A. To reduce waste in the food industry. B. To improve the taste of processed foods. C. To find natural alternatives to artificial preservatives. D. To develop new industrial materials for paint and medicine. 29. What was the primary focus of the microbiological evaluation? A. The variety of cashew species. B. The safety of refrigerated beef. C. The changes in pH and water activity. D. The effectiveness of CNSL against bacteria. 30. What does the experiment suggest about CNSL? A. It can improve meat quality over time. B. It performs best at room temperature. C. It speeds up the meat’s souring process. D. Its concentration and the storage life are closely related. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of CNSL? A. Fully convinced. B. Cautiously optimistic. C. Hesitant and doubtful. D. Neutral and objective. D Are we about to use Gene Editing Technology to grow wings? Will we all be uploading our brains to the Amazon cloud? If you love science and engineering, sci-fi is the place you turn to to imagine the answers. The problem is that many people are getting the wrong messages from these visions of tomorrow. There are two main ways that people misread sci-fi. Let’s start with the simpler one, known as the Torment Nexus Problem. Coined in a 2021 tweet, it refers to a situation in which people read or watch a sci-fi story but focus on its futuristic tech-which, in the original stories, is often the very source of human suffering-rather than the story’s actual point. As a result, you get billionaire Peter Thiel co-founding a company called Palantir, named after the fantasy tech of the “seeing stones” in The Lord of the Rings that drive their users to evil and madness. Palantir’s products have recently been used in airstrikes on Gaza. The author J.R.R. Tolkien would not be amused. The second major way people misread science fiction could be called the Blueprint Problem. Essentially, it’s the mistaken idea that sci-fi provides an exact model for what is coming next and if we copy what happens in sci-fi, we will arrive in a glorious future. The Blueprint Problem inspired a lot of early space programmes in the 1950s, which prioritised putting humans into space rather than exploring it remotely with robotic spacecraft. We were told AI would become our obedient servants and brilliant experts in so much sci-fi over the past century, making robocops and holographic(全息的) doctors seem inevitable- but they aren’t. Science fiction isn’t a map or a prescription. Instead, it is a world view, a way of approaching problems with the underlying assumption that things don’t have to be the way they are. The future isn’t predetermined; it’s a process, and people are actively shaping it. 32. The mention of “Palantir” serves to show that _____. A. Tolkien’s work has inspired real-world evil B. name-choosing is vital for a company’s image C. sci-fi serves as a practical guide for inventors D. the sci-fi story’s true message often goes unnoticed 33. What is the “Blueprint Problem” as described in paragraph 3? A. Having robots take over human jobs. B. Viewing sci-fi as a perfect future model. C. Expecting authors to engineer real tech. D. Favoring robots over astronauts in space. 34. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Sci-fi exposes the essence of things. B. Sci-fi is a rigid guide for future planning. C. Sci-fi is a mindset for re-examining reality. D. Sci-fi predicts specific technological outcomes. 35. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. The Misreading Traps of Sci-Fi B. The Hidden Dangers of Sci-Fi C. The Moral Dilemmas in Sci-Fi D. The Technological Fantasies of Sci-Fi 02 浙江省温州市普通高中2026届高三第二次适应性考试（二模） C The room looks like your typical office: white walls, low ceilings, gray carpet worn thin from years of foot traffic. But for this vacant(空着的) office outside Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C,, real estate developers see potential. Cities across the U.S. are struggling with two problems: too much empty office space and not enough housing. Nationally, office vacancy rates reached roughly 20% in 2024, after years of employees working from home. At the same time, the national housing shortage is in the millions. Cities like D.C., arc now betting that by turning empty offices into homes, one crisis can help solve the other. A project in D.C., which broke ground last month, is the largest such conversion (转化) in the city to date. The overall structure of the buildings will remain the same, but with major additions: a lighter-colored exterior will replace the gray concrete from the 1960s, and old inefficient windows will be replaced by larger ones that let in more light per unit. Plans include luxuries such as a pool and a dog park, with projected rent around $4,000 per month. Yet 60 units will be set aside as affordable housing. “We would love to do more” says Matt Pestronk, the president of a development company, “but unfortunately, almost all capital seeks a return. This was as much as we could afford to do.” “The scale of the shortage far outpaces what conversions can provide.” says Tracy Loh, a fellow at the Brookings Institution who studies adaptive reuse of old buildings. But she argues that these projects still matter, “It does kill two birds with one stone, in terms of providing some housing supply.” And it tends to create housing in central, transit-accessible areas that are in high demand. The decline of manufacturing (制造业) in the late 20th century offers a glimpse of what comes next. When shifts happen in the economy and society, the built environment must change to match contemporary demand. Just as empty factory floors became trendy apartments, today’s empty office spaces are turning into stylish kitchens and bedrooms. 28. What are cities like D.C. trying to do? A. Repurpose empty offices. B. Tear down unused buildings. C. Build housing in suburbs. D. Encourage working from home. 29. What can be inferred about the project in paragraph 3? A. It requires structural changes. B. It targets low-income families. C. It is funded by the government. D. It balances profit and social needs. 30. What docs Tracy Loh think of the conversion? A. Realistic. B. Far-reaching. C. Demanding. D. Short-sighted. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cities Are Caught in Crisis B. Housing Demand Is Crying for More C. Offices Are Becoming Homes D. Manufacturing Is Gaining a Second Life D Why does “bouba” sound round and “kiki” sound spiky (尖锐的)? This perception, known as “bouba-kiki” effect, is reliable all over the world, and for at least a century, scientists have considered it a clue to the origin of language, theorizing that maybe our ancestors built their first words upon these associations between sound and shape. But a new study published in Science adds an unexpected finding: baby chickens make these same pairings, suggesting that the link to human language may not be so unique. The study was led by Maria Loconsole, a comparative psychologist at the University of Padua. She and her colleagues placed chicks in front of two panels: one featured a flowerlike shape with gently rounded curves; the other had a spiky shape like a cartoon explosion. They then played recordings of humans saying either “bouba” or “kiki” and observed the birds’ behavior. When the chicks heard “bouba”, 80 percent of them approached the round shape first and spent an average of more than three minutes exploring it compared with an average of just under one minute spent exploring the spiky shape. When the chicks heard “kiki”, the opposite occurred. One long-standing theory that these associations are inspired by the shape your mouth makes when you say each word can now be ruled out, since the chicks showed the effect despite being unable to speak. Instead the “bouba-kiki” effect may originate from the physical properties of objects themselves. When round objects hit the ground or roll, they typically produce more continuous, low-frequency sounds than spiky ones. A built-in grasp of those dynamics, linking sight and sound, could help newborn animals quickly make sense of their environment, possibly to locate food or avoid predators (食肉动物) . The “bouba-kiki” effect may have played a role in the emergence of language. But for chickens, this same tendency seems to serve a more evolutionary purpose. “Even if language is unique to humans” Loconsole says, “that doesn’t mean that it comes from an ability that is unique to humans.” 32. What does the new study focus on? A. The origin of human language. B. Sound-shape connections in chicks. C. Animals’ recognition of shapes. D. Brain-behavior relationships of birds. 33. In what way do the chicks respond differently to the two sounds? A. Sound localization. B. Reaction speed. C. Exploration preference. D. Matching accuracy. 34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning the effect? A. Its historical context. B. Its potential application. C. Its overlooked limitation. D. Its possible explanation. 35. What does Loconsole say about the effect? A. It originated in birds. B. It shows evolutionary tendency. C. It’s shared across species. D. It’s vital to language emergence. 03 江西省重点中学2026届高三4月八校联考 C Every group has its myths, and journalists are no exception. A common American narrative tells of a past “golden age” of trusted journalism, now declined into a “post-truth” era of misinformation. Survey data supports this depressing view. Trust in media has declined sharply. Since 1972, Gallup has tracked confidence in mass media; in 2025, more Americans expressed no trust than a great deal. Almost half rate journalists’ ethics as “low.” People increasingly consume news via unreliable social media, while the industry is struggling, with fewer journalists and declining advertising revenue. Technological change and political polarization worsen the problem. As one journalism professor notes, disinformation has become “a harmful term.” People often seek news for affirmation, not information. What counts as truth often depends on one’s political position. Yet, another story is buried in the data. There is widespread public concern over misinformation, and an enduring thirst for reliable facts. Many outlets have responded by promoting accuracy, launching fact-checking operations. However, this “political fact-checking” is not neutral. As media researcher Silvio Waisbord argues, trust is linked to “what people do with information,” not just what journalists think accurate. Simply providing facts does not automatically build trust. “Trust,” philosopher Annette Baier wrote, “is a fragile plant,” easily damaged. If journalists want to be trusted, they must ensure their own work is strict. One key method is the traditional, pre-publication fact-checking practiced by outlets like The New Yorker. This process is a form of re-reporting, confirming sources and context. However, the deeper challenge remains: much of the public has ceased to listen. Earning trust requires more than just monitoring others’ errors. Emerging technologies like AI make confirming truth harder, deepening the crisis. In this landscape, knowing what to believe is difficult. If society’s primary “expert system” for navigation fails, consequences are horrible. But failure is not inevitable. It demands that journalism reaffirms its core principles: say what you mean, and know that you mean it. 28. What does paragraph 2 mainly show? A. Ethics standards fall low. B. Media trust drops sharply. C. News output decreases greatly. D. Media’s influence decreases fast. 29. What does Silvio Waisbord’s argument imply? A. Facts alone can build media trust. B. Building media trust is quite complex. C. Political fact-checking is highly valuable. D. The public thirsts for reliable information. 30. Why is pre-publication fact-checking valued? A. It ensures source reliability. B. It avoids political bias completely. C. It reduces post-publication errors. D. It simplifies reporting processes. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Post-Truth Era: Myths and Realities. B. Fact-Checking: Hope and trust. C. Journalism: The Risks and Rebuilds. D. Journalism: Trust Lost and Sought. D Foams (泡沫) are common in daily life—like soap bubbles, shaving cream, foamed cream toppings and food mixtures such as mayonnaise (蛋黄酱). For years, scientists thought foams behaved like glass, with their tiny bubbles fixed in disordered but unchanging positions at the microscopic level. This view was widely accepted as foams often act like solids: they hold shape stably and spring back gently after being squeezed. But new research from the University of Pennsylvania challenges this long-held understanding. Engineers at the university used computer simulations to track bubbles in wet foam over an extended period. They made a striking discovery: while foams keep their overall shape, internal bubbles never stop moving—wandering through many possible arrangements instead of settling down. Surprisingly, the mathematics describing this constant motion closely matches deep learning, the core technique for training modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems. This finding suggests learning, in a broad mathematical sense, may be a shared principle across physical, biological and computational systems. Traditional theories considered foam bubbles like rocks rolling downhill to low-energy positions and staying there. But real foam data didn’t fit this prediction— consistencies were noticed nearly 20 years ago, but suitable mathematical tools were lacking then. Modem AI learns by constantly adjusting key settings during training. Deep learning uses gradient descent—a method guiding the system step by step toward reducing errors, like walking steadily downhill. Researchers later found keeping AI in flatter “energy landscapes” (where many solutions work well) lets it generalize better to new tasks. Foam bubbles act similarly, moving freely in broad regions with multiple stable arrangements instead of fixed spots. The study opens new scientific inquiries. John C. Crocker, a co-senior author, says the striking similarity between foams and AI could reshape how we think about adaptive materials. The findings may also help understand living structures like cell cytoskeletons (细胞骨架), which reorganize continuously while preserving their basic shape. 32. How does the author show foams are widespread in daily life in paragraph 1? A. By listing data. B. By giving examples. C. By quoting experts. D. By defining a term. 33. What determines the traditional understanding of foam bubbles? A. Their fixed positions. B. Their constant motion. C. Their overall shape. D. Their mathematical rules. 34. Why does the author mention “energy landscapes” in paragraph 4? A. To explain AI’s basic training methods. B. To highlight AI’s new task adaptability. C. To analyze AI’s error-correcting mechanisms. D. To stress foam and AI’s same rule-following. 35. What is Crocker’s view on the research findings? A. They need more evidence. B. They rewrite traditional physics. C. They have wide research value. D. They solve all material problems. 04 湖南省新高考教学教研联盟（长郡中学20校）2026届高三下学期第二次联考 C Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone, when you look over and find them standing in exactly the same pose as you, or holding the same facial expression? It may seem like they have consciously copied you, but it is more likely that this is the chameleon (变色龙) effect at play. The chameleon effect is the non-conscious mirror of another person’s gestures or mannerisms. The chameleon effect was demonstrated in an experiment by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartrand. The first part included 78 people, each speaking with an experimenter for 10 minutes. Bargh and Chartrand studied whether participants would mimic (模仿) the actions of someone they hadn’t met before — such as touching the face and moving a foot. When these gestures were performed by the experimenter, participants increased face touching by 20% and foot movement by 50%. The mimicry was unconscious. The second part involved half of the participants being mimicked by an experimenter. The results showed that those who were mimicked rated the experimenter more favorably. Why do we do it? To understand the empathetic theory, think about how you would respond if your close friend tells you he has just passed an exam. If your friend tells you in an excited manner, chances are you respond in a similar tone. Another theory is an adapted survival trait. Being able to fit in with those around you may have helped when under threat. In modern life, the brain may react similarly when moving abroad or into a new group. In some instances, the chameleon effect targets speech. If you spend enough time talking to someone using a particular phrase, you may unintentionally use it in your own speech. In a French interview, Joe Banton, an English football player displayed French pronunciations instead of his native Scouse accent. He later explained that he was unaware of this change at the time. The main reasons behind social mimicry are positive. However, too much of the chameleon effect can be damaging. Some people carry this trait to the extreme, causing them to completely change in different social settings. These people can lose their sense of self. One study found that most people felt they had to suppress (抑制) some aspect of their personality at work to appear professional. 28. What is the chameleon effect according to the text? A. Copying others’ behaviors unconsciously. B. Changing color to match the environment. C. Revealing the true inner feelings purposely. D. Holding the same facial expression as others. 29. How did the participants being mimicked respond in the experiment? A. They became more self-aware. B. They lost interest in the conversation. C. They rated the experimenter higher. D. They tried to mimic the experimenter. 30. Why does the author use the example of a friend sharing exam results? A. To show the excitement. B. To explain a survival trait. C. To highlight interpersonal bonds. D. To support the idea of empathy. 31. What does the author imply about extreme mimics in the last paragraph? A. They tend to change social settings. B. They are more likely to be professional. C. They may fail to keep their personal identity. D. They may ignore the positivity of social mimicry. D A wildfire burns in the hills of a Los Angeles suburb, moving quickly from dry brush toward a cluster of homes. The landscaping at the first house catches fire, but the house itself stubbornly refuses to burn. Any small flames that start along its walls quickly die out. Surprisingly, there is no water in sight. The flames are being put out by sound waves. This type of sound-based fire control may soon play a vital role in fighting wildfires. Understanding this requires knowing fire’s nature. The key ingredients for a fire are heat, fuel, and oxygen. Remove any one, and the fire stops. Sound waves can stop a fire by pushing oxygen molecules away from the fuel, preventing the fire from getting the air it needs to continue its burning reaction. Geoff Bruder, an engineer who previously researched energy at NASA, co-founded Sonic Fire Tech (Sonic for short) to build a machine for this purpose. He explains that the device vibrates the oxygen faster than the fuel can use it, which effectively blocks the chemical reaction. The company has successfully demonstrated fire control from distances up to 25 feet away. Using sound waves to fight fires isn’t a brand-new concept. US research agencies and universities have studied the method for over a decade. However, Albert Simeoni, a fire protection expert, points out the real challenge: scaling up the technology without creating damaging sound effects. Sonic solves this challenge by using infrasound (次声). Unlike previous efforts using 30 — 60 hertz waves, Sonic stays at or below 20 hertz. Therefore, these waves are inaudible (听不见的) to people and travel farther than higher-frequency waves. This technology is practical because homes often catch fire from embers entering roof openings. Sonic’s system uses a device powered by an electric motor to create sound waves, which travel through metal pipes installed on the roof and under its edges. The system activates automatically when sensors detect a flame, creating a kind of force field of infrasound to stop it. Experts note that sound waves generally work best on small flames. Nevertheless, homeowners and public-service companies are eager to try it. Sonic is working with two California companies to demonstrate its technology, and aims to have 50 pilot installations by early 2026. 32. How did the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A.

This breakthrough offers a glimmer of hope to the hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide waiting for organ transplants. The key to this success lies in precise gene editing. The pig used for the transplant was provided by eGenesis, a biotech company. Scientists used the CRISPR-Cas9 tool to make 69 precise genetic modifications. They “knocked out” three genes responsible for producing sugars on pig cell surfaces that would trigger an immediate attack by the human immune system. They also added seven human genes to improve the coexistence of the pig organ with human blood and to prevent dangerous blood clots(血块). Beyond the genetic modifications, the recipient pig was given a combination of standard immunosuppressive drugs(免疫抑制药物), similar to those used in human transplants, to further prevent organ rejection. The fact that the monkey has survived with a fully functioning kidney for over two years is a massive step forward. Previous attempts at cross-species transplants often failed within weeks or months due to severe immune responses. While this is a huge success, experts caution that there are still hurdles before this becomes a common medical practice. The long-term effects of such transplants need further study, and there are ethical considerations surrounding the use of animals for this purpose. However, this achievement undeniably brings the dream of an unlimited supply of organs for transplantation closer to reality, potentially saving millions of lives in the future. 28. What is the main significance of the experiment mentioned? A. It proves pigs are ideal organ donors. B. It solves the problem of organ rejection completely. C. It shows CRISPR-Cas9 is the only way to edit genes. D. It marks a major advance in cross-species organ transplantation. 29. How did scientists prevent the pig kidney from being attacked? A. By using a kidney from a newborn pig. B. By using stronger immunosuppressive drugs only. C. By raising the pig in a special germ-free environment. D. By removing parts of pig genes and adding some human genes. 30. What does the underlined word “hurdles” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Steps. B. Benefits. C. Changes. D. Challenges. 31.What is the author’s attitude towards the future of xenotransplantation? A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Highly doubtful. C. Totally indifferent. D. Entirely negative. D You’re sitting in a café, and the person next to you is having a loud, animated conversation on their phone. You’re trying to read, but your brain keeps getting pulled into their story. This is a common experience, but have you ever wondered why overhearing a monologue(独白) is so compelling? According to new research published in the journal Psychological Science, the reason is rooted in our brain’s powerful ability to predict. When we listen to one half of a conversation, our brains automatically work overtime to construct the missing half. This process, known as “mentalizing or theory of mind, is the act of imagining the mental state of another person—what they are thinking, feeling, and what their responses might be. In a series of experiments, researchers played participants audio clips of either monologues(one person telling a story) or halfalogue (one side of a phone conversation). They found that participants’ brains showed significantly more activities in the regions associated with social reasoning when listening to the halfalogues. The brain was actively trying to fill in the gaps, predicting what the unheard speaker was saying. This mental effort is what makes us feel so drawn in. We’re not just hearing sound; we’re building a narrative. This discovery has interesting implications. It explains why we find it harder to concentrate in an open-plan office when we can hear some parts of phone calls than when we hear two people talking face-to-face. The brain is occupied by the need to complete the puzzle. It also sheds light on why texting or messaging, which lacks tone of voice, can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. Our brain fills in the missing emotional cues, and often it fills them in incorrectly, projecting our own anxieties or expectations onto the texter. So, the next time you’re annoyed by a loud talker on the bus, you can blame your own incredibly social brain. It’s not just being nosy(好管闲事的); it’s hard at work, trying to make sense of an incomplete world. 32. What does the research reveal about hearing one side of a phone call? A. It is less distracting than a full conversation. B. It activates the brain’s social reasoning centers. C. It is processed as meaningless background noise. D. It improves our ability to focus on our own tasks. 33. Why might text messages lead to misunderstandings according to the passage? A. People often type too quickly. B. People prefer talking on the phone to texting. C. The brain invents missing emotional information. D. Texting lacks the structure of a real conversation. 34.How does the author explain the research finding in paragraph 4? A. By providing examples of its real-world effects. B. By comparing it to previous scientific theories. C. By listing statistical data from the experiments. D. By describing the details of the research process. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. How to Improve Your Concentration B. The Damaging Effects of Smartphones C. why We Are Drawn to Phone Conversations D. The Difference Between Monologue and Dialogue 06 浙江省宁波市2026届高三第二学期高考模拟考试（二模） C The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out. The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and enhanced their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O Hanlon, lead researcher of the study. The random trial involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) at 45 state primary schools. The children were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and were asked to write a letter as Romeo after being separated from Juliet. Before writing, the target group took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not. It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion. O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding evident in the children’s writing, and that they showed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added. But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed but suggested that Shakespeare’s use of 20,000 words, compared with the everyday 2,000 words, gave a massive expansion of language into children’s lives, which was combined with children using their whole bodies to bring words to life. 28. What does the study encourage children to do? A. Perform Shakespeare’s works. B. Write their own original plays. C. Learn Shakespeare’s lines by heart. D. Watch professional acting on stage. 29. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its procedure. B. Its background. C. Its purpose. D. Its significance. 30. What impressed O’Hanlon most about the target group’s writing? A. Passage fluency. B. Emotional depth. C. Word complexity. D. Plot imagination. 31. What can be learned from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Learning by doing works best. C. Reading makes a full man. D. Words are the voice of the mind. D The ocean may appear boundless. Ifs easy to imagine that fish and other ocean creatures swim freely without restriction. That assumption, however, is mistaken. According to ecologist Karissa Lear, many ocean species stick to specific habitats and seldom go beyond them. This habit can cause unexpectedly big problems, especially when human-built structures get in the way. Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in Western Australia. In 2017, a large structure was built by the shore, stretching about 550 yards into the sea. As Lear had feared, the construction did harm the critically endangered green sawfish-they were unable to pass around the barrier. To Lear, this discovery supported a surprising new idea that ocean animals, much like land species, need a helping hand getting around human-built structures. On land, wildlife crossings are becoming more common. Green bridges, for instance, help bears and elk avoid a road in Canada’s Banff National Park. In 2022, a wildlife crossing in Washington State was used more than 5,000 times by animals such as deer and coyotes. Although the bridges are already popular on land, Lear says little attention has been paid to the idea of wildlife crossings designed to help ocean animals get around safely. For ocean animals, too many barriers can cut them off from important feeding sites. Overly limited movement can lead to the development of isolated groups that are more likely to go extinct. With more large structures planned for the Ashburton River area, Lear says the cumulative(累积的) effect of multiple barriers is a real concern for the green sawfish’s future. As the climate continues to change, paying attention to the needs of ocean animals is important. Many are moving farther north, and they need suitable habitats to move through. To address this, we can create crossings through human-built structures or protect habitats along their migration routes. As we continue to engineer the ocean, such efforts could go a long way toward protecting ocean life. 32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By detailing research findings. B. By describing a natural scene. C. By addressing public concerns. D. By challenging a common belief. 33. What effect did the structure near the Ashburton River have?

What does Lear imply about wildlife crossings? A. They have reduced road accidents on land. B. They will replace ocean barriers eventually. C. They have destroyed land animals? habitats. D. They are urgently needed for ocean animals 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Wildlife Crossings: From Land to Sea B. When Ocean Life Is in Danger C. The Sawfish That Lost Their Way Home D. Ocean Structures: No Harm Done 07 辽宁省大连市2026届高三4月综合模拟考试（一模） C It is unbelievable that climate change can affect cows’ diets, which in turn affect cheese’s nutritional value and sensory qualities — including its taste, color, and mouthfeel. This is at least true for Cantal, a hard cheese from central France, researchers report in the Journal of Dairy (乳制品) Science. Cows in this region traditionally feed on local grass. But as climate change causes more severe droughts, some dairy producers are shifting to alternative feeds like corn for their cows. “Farmers seek feeds that yield more or are more drought-tolerant than grass, but they also want to know how these dietary changes affect their products,” explains animal scientist Matthieu Bouchon. For almost five months, Bouchon and colleagues at France’s National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment tested 40 dairy cows of two breeds (品种) by creating a dry condition and supplementing grass with corn in varying amounts. The researchers regularly sampled the cows’ milk and analyzed its fatty acids, proteins, and beneficial microbes — key components that shape the production, quality and nutrition of cheese. The team found that a corn-based diet did not reduce milk yield and even led to an estimated reduction in methane, a major greenhouse gas emitted (排放) by cows. However, cheese from grass-fed cows was richer and more flavorful than that from cows mostly or entirely fed on corn. Grass-based diets also resulted in cheese with more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and higher levels of beneficial lactic (乳的) acid bacteria. To preserve quality, the researchers suggest farmers should include fresh grass in cows’ corn-based feed. French producers will possibly need different strategies to fit their environment and cow breeds. But Bouchon is certain of one thing: “If climate change continues on its current path, we will feel it in our cheese.” 28. What is the root cause of choosing alternative feeds? A. Climate change. B. The shortage of grass. C. Producers’ concern. D. Farmers’ request. 29. Which aspect of the research does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Its influence. B. Its findings. C. Its significance. D. Its design. 30. Which may be increased with the corn-based diet? A. The flavor of cheese. B. The yield of milk. C. The emission of methane. D. The content of omega-3. 31. What is the purpose of this text? A. To provide tailored strategies for farmers. B. To stress French dairy producers’ worries. C. To explain the impact of climate change on cheese. D. To compare cheese from grass-fed and corn-fed cows. D Are you more logical or creative? If you believe you’re the former, you might be labeled “left-brained”; if the latter, then “right-brained”. It’s widely believed that the left brain is for analysis and the right is for creativity and that our characteristics are determined by which half is dominant. However, the idea that people are either left-brained or right-brained is a myth. Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, modern brain research hasn’t found any conclusive evidence of left or right brain dominance. One serious problem of this view is its one-sided definition of human abilities. Math, for instance, which requires logical thought, is generally associated with the left brain, but it is also a genuinely creative activity. So is a gifted mathematician left-brained or right-brained? Likewise, artistic creativity isn’t just uncontrolled emotion. Many of the greatest works of art are products of thorough, precise thought. Like many modern myths, the left/right brain theory is rooted in a bit of real science. In the 1960s, Nobel Prize-winning research on epilepsy (癫痫) patients, who had undergone surgery to separate the two halves of their brains, made an unexpected discovery: the right half was better at spatial (空间的) tasks, while the left excelled at language and problem-solving. Yet the real division of labor in the brain is far more complex than the claim that “the left brain is for logic and the right is for creativity”. Then, why is the myth so popular? It satisfies our desire to label ourselves as simple “types”. This works much like the Barnum Effect, a famous psychological phenomenon: people easily believe general, positive personality descriptions — like those from MBTI tests — are true and accurate. Similarly, the left/right brain theory is popular because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject — ourselves. 32. What does the underlined word “myth” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. A false belief. B. A mysterious idea. C. An established theory. D. An ancient story. 33. What can be known about a gifted mathematician? A. He is definitely left-brained. B. He has uncontrolled emotion. C. He is artistically creative. D. He has integrated abilities. 34. Which best describes the left/right brain theory? A. It is scientifically proven. B. It is rather oversimplified. C. It is truly objective. D. It is entirely groundless. 35. Why is the left/right brain theory popular? A. It meets people’s mental needs. B. It gives an accurate description. C. It offers real-time feedback. D. It uses the Barnum Effect. 08 安徽省A10联盟2026届高三4月质量评估 C As countries plan to return humans to the moon, one practical question remains: how can astronauts build shelters and tools without carrying everything from Earth? Transporting heavy materials into space is costly and time-consuming, so scientists are exploring ways to make use of resources already available on the moon. In a recent study, researchers tested whether simulated lunar soil could be used in 3D printing. They used a powerful laser to melt a man-made version of moon dust, known as regolith simulant, and printed it layer by layer to form small objects. The printed pieces were found to be hard and able to withstand high temperatures. To understand how reliable this method might be, the team carried out experiments under different conditions. They discovered that the final product depended greatly on the surface onto which the soil was printed. When printed on stainless steel or glass surfaces, the material did not stick well. However, it bonded strongly with alumina-silicate ceramic. The two substances formed stable crystals together, which improved mechanical strength and the material’s resistance to sudden temperature changes. The surrounding environment also played an important role. Changes in oxygen levels, laser power and printing speed all affected the quality of the material. Because the moon has an extreme environment, including vacuum, fine dust and sharp temperature differences, it is difficult to fully recreate such conditions in a laboratory. This means that more testing is needed before the technology can be used in real missions. Despite these challenges, researchers believe this approach could support future programs such as NASA’s Artemis missions, which aim to establish a long-term human presence on the moon. By using local materials instead of transporting large amounts of supplies from Earth, astronauts may save both time and cost. In addition, the findings may have value beyond space exploration. Learning to manufacture useful products with limited resources could help improve sustainability on Earth and offer new solutions to material shortages in the future. 28. What was a key finding about printing on different surfaces? A. Glass was the ideal surface for printing. B. The surface type did not affect the result. C. It bonded perfectly with alumina-silicate. D. Stainless steel provided the strongest bond. 29. Why is more testing needed before real missions? A. Astronauts lack training for 3D printing. B. Lab conditions cannot fully match space. C. Scientists have not found the right soil yet. D. The current printers are too expensive to build. 30. What is a major benefit of this technology for Earth? A. It greatly reduces lunar dust risks. B. It cuts down the cost of space travel. C. It allows importing moon materials to Earth. D. It teaches making things with few resources. 31. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Building on the Moon: Using Local Dirt B. NASA’s Artemis: Returning to the Moon C. 3D Printing: The Future of Space Exploration D. Moon or Earth: New Solutions for Old Problems D Rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the air are not only changing the climate but may also be affecting the human body. A recent study published in Air Quality, Atmosphere and Health suggests that a key blood marker related to CO₂ has been increasing over the past twenty years. If this trend continues, it could reach the upper limit of the healthy range within decades. This finding is especially concerning for children and teenagers, who will face the longest exposure to higher CO₂ levels throughout their lives. Researchers from The Kids Research Institute Australia, Curtin University and The Australian National University studied data from the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). They examined blood test results from about 7,000 people every two years between 1999 and 2020. The study found that average levels of serum bicarbonate, a substance closely connected to carbon dioxide in the body, have risen by roughly 7% since 1999. During the same period, levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood have slightly fallen. These changes occur alongside the sharp increase in atmospheric CO₂, which has grown from 369 parts per million (ppm) in 2000 to over 420 ppm today. Bicarbonate helps keep the body’s acid-base balance stable. When CO₂ levels rise, the body keeps more bicarbonate to maintain a normal blood pH. However, long-term changes in this homeostatic process may have effects on health. Researchers estimate that if atmospheric CO₂ continues to increase, average bicarbonate levels could approach the upper limit of today’s healthy range within 50 years. Although the study does not prove that rising CO₂ directly causes these changes, the researchers believe the consistent trend deserves attention. Humans evolved in an atmosphere with much lower CO₂ levels, around 280 to 300 ppm. Today’s levels are far higher than anything our ancestors experienced. The researchers suggest that rising CO2 should be seen not only as an environmental issue but also as a possible public health concern. They call for closer monitoring of both atmospheric changes and human health indicators in the future. 32. Why might children and teenagers be more affected by rising CO2? A. They will live with it longer. B. They breathe faster than adults. C. They eat more calcium-rich food. D. They have weaker immune systems. 33. What can be inferred about the relationship between air and blood? A. Lower air CO2 causes blood calcium to rise. B. Blood changes happen before air levels rise. C. Air quality has no impact on blood chemistry. D. Higher air CO2 leads to higher blood bicarbonate. 34. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “homeostatic” in Paragraph 3? A. Causing quick changes. B. Keeping internal balance. C. Responding to air pollution. D. Preventing chemical reactions. 35. Why did researchers mention ancient CO2 levels? A. To criticize past climate policies. B. To describe early climate change. C. To show human adaptation limits. D. To prove ancient air was much cleaner. 09 山东省2026届高三名校联盟4月核心素养评估 C It’s been three decades since The Color Purple brought Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel to life. The 1985 film earned 11 Academy Award nominations with its heart-breaking yet inspiring story of a young Black woman navigating the hardships of rural Georgia in the early 1900s. Since then, it’s generated two Broadway productions — and now, a brand-new movie. As a Black woman who saw the original film as a teenager, I feel a special connection with the story and how it shows Black women’s struggles, and critics say this new version adds another rich layer. It is more than simply a celebration to the original. It’s a musical adaptation with a different style, though according to award-winning filmmaker Dawn Porter, it’s still “a timeless story of love, friendship and power.” And it’s shaping up to be the next cultural phenomenon, with moviegoers heading to the theaters in big groups while dressed up in purple. But beyond pure marketing, purple holds a greater meaning here. It’s a symbol of power, ambition as well as creativity, independence and peace — things the movie’s main character, Celie, does not have due to years of abuse, family violence and racism. As Celie comes into her own, she starts to get the color’s meaning by “noticing” her worth, learning to love herself and gaining the strength to stand up to those who mistreat her. All that plays into people wearing purple to support the movie and embrace this theme of strength. And it’s very much a cultural moment, just like wearing pink to see Barbie (and black to see Oppenheimer, for that matter). It’s something a group can do together to have fun and also bond. However, while Barbie explores what it means to be a woman — and an individual, The Color Purple focuses on identity, independence and sisterhood. 28. What can we learn about the two versions of the movie? A. They basically share the same core. B. They are both musicals themed love. C. They generated many new creations. D. They are Pulitzer Prize awarded masterpieces. 29. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. A popular cultural phenomenon. B. A market strategy the film applies. C. The symbolism of purple in Celie’s journey. D. The importance of the color purple in marketing the film. 30. Why does the author mention Barbie in the last paragraph? A. Barbie and The Color Purple are series movies. B. Barbie shares the same focus with Oppenheimer. C. The Color Purple explores things that Barbie doesn’t. D. Wearing pink to see Barbie is a similar cultural expression. 31. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To stress Black women’s identity. B. To introduce the prize-winning book. C. To promote the new version of the movie. D. To explore the deeper meaning of the color purple. D At the newspaper I worked with, the topic on which my colleagues and I were most frequently asked to write was “information overload” and no, the irony (讽刺) wasn’t lost on us that publishing thousands of words on the problem was hardly going to help. It was obvious that the internet would dramatically worsen the problem of there being far too much to read. But it wouldn’t last, because soon there’d be better technology to help us find the information we really value. The real trouble wasn’t information overload but “filter (过滤) failure”. All we really needed and would likely soon get — were better ways to filter the digital wheat from the chaff (壳). It didn’t exactly work out that way. What happened, instead, was the ‘efficiency trap’. It’s true that the filters got much better: technologies such as Amazon’s recommendation engine are an excellent way to discover things to read, while social media, at its best, is like having thousands of unpaid assistants searching the globe for content you’re likely to find particularly fascinating. But the result hasn’t been better. It’s easy to wonder if the solution might lie in consuming things more quickly, perhaps by listening to audiobooks on double-speed, or by pursuing the dream of learning to speed-read. (Recall Woody Allen’s line about taking a speed-reading course, then tackling War and Peace: “It’s about Russia.”) But there’s far too much content for that. ‘You will never be efficient enough to hear it all before you die.’ Fortunately, there are pieces of advice for navigating a world of endless information. Treat your to-read pile like a river, not a bucket — select freely without guilt. Focus not on collecting facts but on how reading reshapes your thinking. Most importantly, enjoy the present joy of reading; not every text must serve future gains to be worthwhile. 32. What does “the irony wasn’t lost on us” in paragraph 1 imply? A. The writers had been very successful. B. The writers knew their articles didn’t make sense. C. The writers liked using jokes to talk about the topic. D. The writers thought their articles would fix the problem. 33. What does the author think of the filtering technology? A. It is a perfect solution. B. It doesn’t fix the problem. C. It leads to efficiency trap. D. It is ineffective and risky. 34. The author mentions Woody Allen’s line to ________. A. recommend a reading solution B. criticize quick reading C. compare different reading methods D. encourage audiobooks 35. What does the author suggest regarding information overload? A. Adopt a new mindset. B. Select useful texts. C. Consume content faster. D. Focus on quantity. 10 山东省济南市2026届高三第二次模拟考试（二模） C On a snowy morning in Stockholm, the Candela C-8 looks like a standard speedboat. Once it picks up speed, something extraordinary happens: the hull (船体) lifts entirely out of the water, “flying” half a meter above the surface. This is the new generation of electric hydrofoils(水翼船). They are ideal for urban transport, says Gustav. Hasselskog, the founder of Candela technology company. They are quiet, emission-free and cheap to run—the C-8's cost per mile is about 5% of that of a traditional speedboat. In many cities, to reduce the disturbance caused by large waves, boats are usually speed-limited. Hydrofoils, however, cause almost no wake and thus travel faster. Hasselskog believes they could reshape urban transport by shifting traffic from blocked roads to underused waterways, which he terms “blue highways”. The Candela C-8 is supported by three thin, red struts(支柱), which are linked to two underwater wings that turn forward motion into lift. By lifting the hull out of the water, the boat reduces drag by as much as 80 percent, saving a huge amount of energy. Sensors around the boat measure waves and control systems adjust the wings 100 times a second, providing such a solid, smooth ride that the boat feels as though it is on rails. The power needed to drive a hydrofoil varies directly with its mass, so minimizing a hull's overall weight is also of importance. The wings must be small enough to reduce drag and strong enough to bear the boat's weight. The solution is to borrow from aerospace and motor racing, and use carbon fiber. As for motors, Candela now has a partnership with makers of electric vehicles, allowing electric boats to use standard fast-chargers designed for cars. The potential impact is significant with nearly half of the world's population living in coastal regions where cities are often stuck in traffic. While large traditional public boats will still be needed for heavy routes, on short passenger-only routes in cities, electric hydrofoils may be about to take off. 28. What does Gustav Hasselskog expect the Candela C-8 to do? A. Boost coastal tourism. B. Remodel urban traffic. C. Lower travel expenses. D. Promote road building. 29. Which part of the Candela C-8 plays a vital role in its high energy efficiency? A. Its type of drive. B. Its power source. C. Its control systems. D. Its underwater wings. 30.What does the author think of the large traditional public boats? A. They are out of date. B. They show huge potential. C. They are irreplaceable. D. They need to be improved. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Electric Hydrofoils: A New Solution to City Traffic B. Traditional Speedboats: Features and Cost Analysis C. The Candela C-8: Reshaping Heavy-route Transport D. Carbon Fiber: Equipping the Candela C-8 with Wings D You leave an hour of online surfing with the sense that the world is falling apart. In the real world, however, a neighbor you disagree with politically helps you start your car. The dissonance is no accident. It is how today's Internet works. To better understand this gap, researchers surveyed 1,090 adults and found that people dramatically overestimate how common harmful behavior on the Internet is. On Reddit, participants thought harmful commenters were 13 times more common, estimating 43% of users post harmful content, while the actual figure is just 3%. Most offensive posts come from a small group of highly active users, whose outsized posts shape public beliefs, creating the “majority illusion” that makes this minority seem like the norm, drowning out the silent majority. Our brains are wired to notice threats and moral breaks-negative content sticks in our minds. Additionally, social media algorithms(算法) prioritize content that causes strong reactions to keep users engaged, with falsehoods spreading faster than truth Bot networks(僵尸网络) add to the noise: it has been reported that bad bots make up roughly a third of global web traffic, misleading what trends and who appears popular. Measuring online harmful content is tricky, as automated tools often miss unobvious aggressive remarks. But what matters more is not “how harmful is the Internet,” but what ordinary users perceive as normal. Social psychologists call this dynamic “pluralistic ignorance”: people privately reject harmful norms but go along with them publicly. This misconception formed online creates a dangerous gap, fueling public distrust, preventing public participation, and lowering moral standards—if we think “everyone is awful,” we're less likely to be kind. While there is no silver bullet, practical steps—rooted in policy and personal awareness—can narrow the gap. The key lies in recognizing online engagement doesn't equal approval: skip “most engaging” feeds and ground our views in actual world connections. Imagine a public square where the loudest few don't seize the microphone—disagreement remains, but the air resounds with daily life: neighbors helping start cars, strangers holding doors. Online, we can make that reality visible again. 32. What does the underlined word “dissonance” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Disorder. B. Prejudice. C. Contrast. D. Debate. 33. What does the “majority illusion” refer to in the text? A. A false impression. B. A harmful behavior. C. An overestimated post. D. A minority of commenters. 34. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Why global web traffic misleads people. B. Why the minority feels like the majority. C. How we identify online harmful content. D. What harm online misconception causes. 35.What is the author's suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Acting like the loudest few. B. Improving moral standards. C. Avoiding online engagement. D. Valuing real-life interactions. 11 浙江省衢州、丽水、湖州三地市2026年4月高三教学质量检测（二模） C From this week, the UK has introduced strict rules to protect children from junk food advertising. Ads for 13 categories of processed foods and drinks, such as sugary soft drinks, crisps, and chocolates, are banned online and can only air on TV after 9 pm. The reason is rising childhood obesity(肥胖). Our exclusive report last week highlighted doctors’ calls for routine blood pressure testing in children, emphasizing the dangers of obesity and the case for preventing it. The longer-term trend, both nationally and internationally, is widely recognised as alarming. Since the UK’s child measurement programme began 20 years ago, obesity rates among primary-age children in England have climbed from 17.5% to 22.1%. Obesity deepens social inequality, with rates in poverty-stricken areas twice as likely to be obese as those in wealthy ones. The resulting health risks — type 2 diabetes, stroke, and cardiovascular diseases — add to the hardships of the disadvantaged. This concentration of harm is a key reason to welcome the advertising restrictions. Like gambling or smoking, the uneven impact of unhealthy processed foods on already-struggling households is among their most damaging effects. Children often lack the knowledge and maturity to navigate decisions about fat, sugar, and salt intake. For the UK government, narrowing the gaps that restrict the life chances of disadvantaged children must always be apriority. Public debate on obesity has increasingly focused on new weight-loss drugs, yet in the UK, these are available only to a small group of severely obese children. This highlights the need to prioritize prevention and public health initiatives around food, as a healthy lifestyle involves exercise and nutrition, not just body weight. Charities like Sustain have criticized the concessions (让步) made to industry giants, such as allowing brand advertising as long as specific junk foods are not displayed. Their caution is justified: last year saw record snack food sales, and billboard advertising — less controlled by rule — has rocketed. But while the new rules will not end childhood obesity and should have been in place sooner, as with other half measures, they are much better than none at all. 28. What is the main purpose of the new UK rules? A. To shelter children from obesity risks. B. To encourage people to break bad habits. C. To limit junk food sales to evenings. D. To enforce blood pressure testing in schools. 29.Why does the author mention gambling and smoking in paragraph 3? A. To explain the causes of poverty. B. To show they are addictive. C. To stress junk foods’ harm to the poor. D. To list common bad habits for children. 30. What is the author’s attitude toward the new advertising restrictions? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Carefree. D. Conservative. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Childhood Obesity: The Growing Crisis B. Health Inequality: The Widening Divide C. Stricter Regulations: The Call for Action D. Tackling Obesity: UK’s New Ad Rules D Drug development has long been known as a high-risk and high-cost process. On average, only one in every ten drug candidates that enter human trials eventually reaches the market. The journey from initial discovery to a marketable drug often spans 10 to 15 years, and the cost for a single drug is estimated at roughly $2.8 billion. This high risk and cost, coupled with the eventual loss of patent protection, creates constant pressure on drug companies to find the next breakthrough treatment. In recent years, generative Al has begun to change this picture. The drug industry is rapidly adopting AI technologies that can analyse massive biological data sets. These AI tools can identify promising drug targets and propose novel molecules(分子) that might interact with them. They can also screen libraries of data to predict the effectiveness and safety of candidates before any lab work begins. In addition, they can improve clinical trials by analysing health records to identify patients most likely to benefit from new treatments. Although the technology is still developing, early signs suggest it could make drug discovery faster, cheaper and more competitive. One encouraging result is seen in early-stage trials. AI-designed molecules have shown success rates of 80-90% in early-stage safety tests, far higher than the historical average of 40-65%. AI is also improving efficiency in other areas of the industry, from clinical paperwork to human resources. Some analysts estimate that the drug industry can gain up to $110 billion each year if AI is fully used. The rise of AI is transforming how the drug industry works. AI-native biotech businesses are emerging, especially in the U.S. and China. Drug firms are partnering with these biotech companies and also with tech giants like Amazon, Google and Microsoft. Some tech firms are even developing platforms to design drugs entirely through computer simulations. For instance, Google’s Alpha Fold has already solved complex problems regarding protein structures. However, challenges remain. Governments may need to speed up regulatory reviews as the number of drug candidates increases. Patient data sharing must also be encouraged in privacy-protecting ways. Furthermore, patent rules may require adjustment if AI reduces the cost and risk of innovation. AI brings good news for medicine, but ensuring it benefits both drug makers and patients requires the industry and regulators to adjust to this new reality. 32.What is the primary challenge for traditional drug companies? A. The shortage of breakthrough treatments. B. Inability to discover effective drug candidates. C. Limited access to cutting-edge research technologies. D. Long duration and economic burdens of drug development. 33. From paragraph 2, how does Al benefit clinical trials? A. By designing new molecules. B. By helping select suitable patients. C. By discovering new effective drugs. D. By detecting proper drug targets. 34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. AI-driven changes in the drug industry. B. The rise of AI-native biotech firms. C. Google’s achievements in protein structures. D. Tech giants’ partnerships with drug makers. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Patent rules are fixed for Al innovation. B. Faster reviews can protect patient data privacy. C. Policies should be revised for the benefits from AI. D. Advanced systems are essential for drug innovation. 12 重庆市巴蜀中学2026届高考适应性月考卷(八) C An ant species has evolved a remarkable solution to the danger of excess carbon dioxide inside their nests, which may hold clues to how humans can store greenhouse gases to prevent climate disaster. Fungus-farming(种植真菌) ants collect vegetation to feed cultivated fungi grown inside their colonies. In turn, the fungi serve as their primary food source. The high density of ants and fungi can result in high concentrations of CO2, inside the nests. In 2020, Cameron Currie at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his colleagues found that Acromyrmex echinatior ants incorporate a carbonate biomineral into their armour(外壳).The ants do this through a symbiotic(共生的) relationship with Pseudonocardia bacteria, which transform CO2, into rock using chemical processes that aren't yet properly understood. Now, the team has discovered that another fungus-farming ant, Sericomyrmex amabilis, which is found in Central and South America, can do the same thing without symbiotic bacteria, becoming the first known animal to have evolved this ability. Remarkably, the mineral they make is dolomite. Dolomite rocks, such as those in Italy's Dolomite mountains, normally take millions of years and complex geological processes to form. Yet the ants do this quickly and effortlessly, without high temperatures, says team member Hongjie Li at Zhejiang University in China. Dolomite consists of calcium, magnesium and carbonate. Forming it in the lab is difficult because magnesium doesn't easily fit into the calcium carbonate structure, which slows down crystal formation, says Currie. To try to overcome this, he says, scientists use high temperatures and pressures. 'The next phase of the team's research will try to find out how ants are able to accomplish this. In an effort to counteract global warming, scientists are exploring techniques for converting atmospheric CO2, into carbonate minerals, essentially turning carbon into stone. “These ants are the first animal shown to be engaging in such a process, offering exciting potential as a model for human efforts,” says Currie. 28.What can we learn about the fungus-farming ants’ nest? A. It stays open to outside air. B. It contains a high level of CO2. C. It is too unstable for ants to survive. D. It provides little room for fungal growth. 29. What makes Sericomyrmex amabilis different from Acromyrmex echinatior in mineral formation? A. A wider geographic range. B. Involvement of a new fungus. C. A fully understood mechanism. D. Independence from bacterial help. 30. Which word best describes dolomite formation in nature? A. Simple. B. Risky. C. Time-consuming. D. Pressure-dependent. 31.How is the text mainly organized? A. Problem → solutions → outcome. B. Claim → counterclaim → resolution. C. Definition → classification → summary. D. Discovery → explanation → implications. D It's Sunday evening, and you're reviewing another week of progress on five different goals without truly moving the needle on any. You worked out twice, read 20 pages of that business book, spent quality time with family, and kept up with your meditation practice. You're doing everything right according to the productivity experts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve? The accepted wisdom tells us progress comes from small, consistent changes that compound over time. Consistency has its place. But there's another dimension to transformation we rarely discuss: the catalytic(催化的) power of intense productivity bursts. It's this more intense, temporary mode of obsession that is key. Productivity experts often advocate sustainable habits and warn against the dangers of going too hard. But neuroscience reveals something fascinating: Our brains respond strongly to intensity. Our brains are highly malleable; they change, sometimes in dramatic ways, to reflect new accusition of skills and knowledge. Researchers studied London taxi drivers preparing for a test that involved memorizing 25, 000 streets. When they examined the brains of these taxi drivers before and after this intensive study period, they discovered something remarkable: The posterior hippocampus, crucial for spatial navigation, physically enlarges. This finding points to a broader principle in human neuroscience: Transformation often requires crossing intensity levels that moderate effort simply can't reach. At the level of the brain, intense learning looks very different than the slow, consistent gains we're more familiar with. Research finds that during periods of intense focus, our brains exhibit transient hypofrontality. 'The prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮层), largely responsible for self-monitoring, tends to quiet down, mirroring what is often seen in “flow states,” where the boundaries between self and task dissolve. Most of us live in maintenance mode. We do enough not to lose ground but rarely enough to truly advance. Maybe it's time we stopped feeling guilty about our occasional obsessions and started seeing them for what they are: the catalysts that make our steady progress meaningful. 32. What does the scene presented in paragraph 1 indicate? A. Unrealistic goals can lead to failure. B. Constant failures may cause frustration. C. Multitasking can not enhance productivity. D. Sustained effort may not yield real progress. 33.What does the underlined word “malleable” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Repairable. B. Adaptable. C. Delicate. D. Analytical. 34. What happens during “transient hypofrontality”? A. You let down your guard. B. You exercise more self-regulation. C. You feel at one with the task. D. You experience a state of confusion. 35. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Why Intense Focus Beats Steady Habits B. The Key to Transformation: Consistency C. How Changing Your Habits Leads to Growth D. Maintenance Mode: A Common Productivity Trap 13 福建省2026届高中毕业班4月适应性练习（福州版） C My great-grandfather moved to Mexico over a century ago. He learned Spanish and raised five children in a mixed German-Mexican household, but he didn’t teach them German, and the language was lost in one generation. Yet three generations later, my children recovered it during visits to Germany. This story is a case study about human cognition (认知). When bilinguals (双语者) switch languages, they choose the right language system by mapping contexts to responses while keeping output consistent. This mechanism (机制) works across fields. Taxi drivers develop brain adaptations to manage thousands of routes and pick the best one. Professional musicians constantly switch between musical notes, rhythms, and emotional expressions, requiring frequent cognitive adjustments. Learning, understanding, and adaptation are all forms of translation—matching expectations with the environment. This reframes intelligence itself. Intelligence isn’t just computation within a single domain. It’s the ability to move between domains, to translate meaning into action. This matters urgently because of AI. Large language models process information at massive scales and match humans on many tasks, but they are stuck in computational frameworks. They fail when the environment changes in ways unforeseen by training data, lacking domain translation, physical experience, and real life. Humans survive change by switching cognitive domains: when one system fails, we turn to another—from symbolic thought to sensory experience. This flexibility is our greatest strength. We are not just information processors; we are domain translators. If cross-domain translation is our fundamental adaptive mechanism, succeeding in the AI age means strengthening this ability: identifying domain traps, translating across domains, and building cognitive architectures that facilitate domain switching. AI will continue improving at fixed-domain tasks, but only humans can move between disconnected domains. The future won’t belong to those who process the most information, but to those who translate between humans and AI, between multiple meaning systems, and between our present and future selves. Adaptation is essentially translation. And translation is fundamentally human. 28. Why does the author mention the family story? A. To stress human capacity. B. To present a language bias. C. To praise family education. D. To illustrate a mechanism. 29. What is the intelligence reframed in paragraph 2? A. Effective action-taking. B. Computational abilities at scale. C. Cross-field translation. D. Constant shifts in thoughts. 30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Human’s cognitive advantage. B. Human’s intellectual domain. C. AI’s multi-system adaptability. D. AI’s huge information storage. 31. Who would have a brighter future based on the last paragraph? A. Those processing much information. B. Those adapting to different domains. C. Those concentrating on a fixed field. D. Those developing meaning systems. D On a hot summer day, a cold drink is a welcome treat. But the cooling technology behind it comes at a cost. Traditional refrigerators use gases called hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are powerful contributors to global warming. Finding a better way has long been an unsolved problem. Now, scientists have developed a new cooling method that may change this. Researchers from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory released a technique called ionocaloric (离子热) cooling. As the name suggests, it uses ions—charged particles (粒子) —to create a cooling effect. The idea builds on a simple physical process and theoretical modeling: melting takes heat. You’ve seen this on a winter road – salt on ice causes it to melt, even in freezing temperatures. The ionocaloric cycle also uses salt to change a liquid’s phase and cool its surroundings. Through modeling, the team predicted that moving ions could change a material’s melting point, allowing it to absorb heat on demand. To test this prediction, scientists mixed a salt —sodium iodide—into a liquid, ethylene carbonate (EC, 碳酸乙烯酯). When a small electric current was applied, the salt ions moved, which changed the melting point of the liquid, causing it to melt. As the liquid melted, it absorbed heat, cooling the space like melting ice. The team measured a temperature drop of 25°C with less than one volt—outperforming other similar technologies. These results point to a bigger story. The system balances efficiency, cost, and environmental impact. Early tests show promise in all three. One reason is the working liquid, EC, can be made from CO₂, meaning the system could be carbon-negative—it avoids harm and helps clean up. “The ionocaloric cycle has the potential to meet all these goals,” said Drew Lilley, the leading engineer. If successful, this technology could help nations meet the goals of the Kigali Amendment, which aims to cut HFC use by 80%. Now, researchers face the next challenge: moving the technology from the lab to the real world. With further development, these systems could one day provide both cooling and heating—without harming the planet. 32. What is the principle of the ionocaloric cooling? A. Melting absorbs heat from surroundings. B. Expanding gas can produce cooling. C. Electricity can generate heat in materials. D. Salt lowers the freezing point of water. 33. How did researchers test their prediction? A. By reducing the amount of HFCs. B. By measuring CO₂ in the atmosphere. C. By monitoring real-time winter road conditions. D. By conducting current in a salt-containing liquid. 34. Why does the author stress EC can be made from CO₂? A. To state how the system cuts HFCs. B. To prove the system can save electricity. C. To explain how the system brings cooling effect. D. To show the system can help ease global warming. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards ionocaloric cooling? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Hopeful. D. Dismissive. 14 安徽省合肥市2026届高三第二次教学质量检测（二模） C When something breaks today, many people simply replace it. A weak phone battery, a leaking coffee maker, or a silent radio often ends up in the trash long before its useful life is over. Yet across many communities, a different habit is returning. At events known as Repair Cafes, people bring broken items to volunteers who help them find the problem and try to fix it. The idea originated in Amsterdam about 15 years ago and has since spread widely. Surveys conducted by the Open Repair Alliance show more than 200,000 repair attempts have been recorded by over 1,100 groups in dozens of countries. The organization also estimates that more than 4,000 repair communities may now be active around the world. A typical repair event is simple. People arrive with lamps, laptops, toys, clothes, vacuum cleaners, or kitchen tools. Instead of paying for an official service, they sit down with volunteers and work through the problem together. Sometimes the repair succeeds quickly. Sometimes it does not. Even then, the process still matters. Owners learn how products are designed, why they fail, and what makes some items easier to repair than others. For that reason, Repair Cafes show that practical knowledge can be shared and that many products are more repairable than people assume. At the same time, the experience of community repair has exposed a deeper problem in manufacturing. In modern consumer culture, products often seem opaque to ordinary users, as if they were sealed boxes not meant to be opened. In 16% of all recorded cases, a repair cannot be completed because the product cannot be opened, and in another 12% of cases, the information needed to complete the repair is missing. In this sense, community repair does more than save objects. It also provides evidence about how products are made and what should change. In an age of fast consumption, these events remind us that value does not disappear the moment something stops working. 28. Why does the author include many figures in paragraph 2? A. To stress the problem of broken items. B. To show the rapid growth of Repair Cafes. C. To compare the costs of different repairs. D. To highlight the impact of throwaway culture. 29.What makes a community repair event special? A. It is more demanding than official service. B. It depends on volunteers to fix the items. C. It follows strict professional guidelines. D. It turns repair into a learning experience. 30. What does the underlined word “opaque” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Unclear. B. Familiar. C. Accessible. D. Reliable. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Amsterdam: The Birthplace of Modern Repair B. The Rise of Repair Cafes: More than Just Fixing C. Why Community Services Need More Volunteers D. How to Save Money in an Age of Fast Consumption D A common element found in table salt may hold the key to powering the next wave of electric vehicles (EVs). Most EVs in the world today are powered by lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries, which perform differently in cold and warm weather. In low temperatures, most lithium-ion batteries would deliver only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system. Batteries store and release energy by moving charged particles(粒子) between electrodes, the two ends of a battery, through an electrolyte, a substance that allows electricity to move; cold temperatures make those processes inactive. To address the issue, a leading battery producer says its sodium-ion(钠离子) pack can keep charging and delivering power far below freezing. As the name implies, sodium-ion batteries replace lithium with sodium, an element found widely in salts. Although sodium ions are larger, they form weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does. This allows them to move much more easily than lithium ions, even when the cold thickens the electrolyte. Consequently, while cold weather slows all ions down, sodium-based systems are less affected, preserving more power and capacity in winter. Laboratory data suggest that at -30°C, this battery can deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the cheap, standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market. It can charge to 90percent full when the temperature drops to -40°C and achieves "stable power delivery" at -50°C in test conditions. Still, the young supply chain means manufacturing these batteries is currently about 30 percent more expensive, realistically pushing mass production toward the end of this decade. “We should be looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,” says Phate Zhang, an EV news founder. 32. What do we know about lithium-ion EVs? A. They need much higher maintenance fees. B. Their power system can be unstable sometimes. C. Their power output might be affected by the cold. D. They lose capacity in extreme weather conditions. 33. Why do sodium-ion batteries work better in cold weather? A. They move much faster than lithium ones. B. They are larger and more active in the electrolyte. C. Their electrolyte stays less affected by low temperatures. D. They interact more weakly with the electrolyte than lithium ions do. 34. How docs the author show the superiority of sodium-ion batteries? A. By quoting experts. B. By analyzing causes. C. By describing a process. D. By making comparisons. 35. What is Phate Zhang's suggestion about? A. Possible direction for future study. B. Choice of new research methods. C. Need to involve more researchers. D. Potential application of the finding. 15 重庆市南开中学2026届高三第七次质量检测（4月） C Kristin Hannah’s The Women is a searing, deeply compassionate novel that centers on Frances “Frankie” McGrath, a sheltered 20-year-old nursing student who joins the Army Nurse Corps during the Vietnam War. Published in 2024, it has quickly become one of the most acclaimed historical fictions of recent years, praised for its determined honesty and vivid storytelling. Raised in a conservative, idyllic Southern California home, Frankie initially knows little of sacrifice or suffering. But when her brother deploys to Vietnam, she enlists, driven by the belief that “women can be heroes”. What follows is a raw, immersive journey into the chaos of war: endless shifts in overcrowded field hospitals, limited supplies, and the constant threat of violence. Hannah writes with plain realism, capturing both the physical horror of combat medicine and the profound emotional toll on the nurses who served. The novel’s power lies not only in its war scenes but in Frankie’s painful homecoming. Like countless real female veterans (退伍老兵), she returns to a divided America that refuses to honor her service — facing indifference, skepticism, and even hostility from a society that insists “there were no women in Vietnam”. Her struggle with PTSD and alienation from her family and old life is a stark reminder of the long, invisible scars of war. What makes The Women unforgettable is its tribute to the unsung heroines of the Vietnam War. These women were not just caregivers; they were resilient, brave, and essential. Hannah’s prose is warm yet straightforward, drawing readers into Frankie’s transformation from a naive girl to a battle-hardened healer. More than a war story, it is a testament to courage and the quiet strength of women who served — and were too often forgotten. 28. What does the author think of Hannah’s novel? A. Boring and critical. B. Objective and humorous. C. Moving and straight. D. Serious and puzzling. 29. What motivates Frankie to join the Army Nurse Corps? A. Her desire to become a war hero. B. Her brother’s service in the Vietnam War. C. Her belief in women’s ability to be heroes. D. Her family’s expectation for her to serve. 30. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Americans acknowledge the sacrifice of the women in the war. B. The war leaves Frankie with long-lasting invisible wounds. C. Frankie’s family supports her through difficulties. D. The novel ignores the veterans’ post-war life. 31. What does the author mean by saying “More than a war story” in the last paragraph? A. The book focuses on the female veterans’ inner qualities. B. The book shows the women’s unseen leadership. C. The book lacks vivid description of the war. D. The book records the military strategies. D Ticklishness (怕痒), a universal yet puzzling human response characterized by laughter or squirming upon light touch, has long intrigued scientists. Recent studies have clarified its physiological and evolutionary foundations, revealing it to be more than a simple reflex or reaction. Physiologically, ticklishness arises from interactions between sensory nerves and the brain. Research from University of California at Los Angeles shows that tickle-inducing light touches activate two types of nerve fibers: A-beta fibers, which sense gentle pressure, and C-tactile fibers, linked to pleasant touch. These signals are relayed to the somatosensory cortex (体感皮层) for touch processing and the anterior cingulate cortex, which regulates emotion and laughter — producing a blend of pleasure and unease. Evolutionary biology offers another key perspective. A 2023 study in Nature Human Behaviour suggests ticklishness evolved as a protective reflex. In babies, it encourages playful interaction with caregivers, strengthening bonds and teaching avoidance of unexpected, potentially harmful touches. Adults preserve this reflex to detect potential threats, such as insects on the skin. Notably, self-tickling seldom triggers the same intense response as being tickled by others. Brain imaging reveals the cerebellum — responsible for movement coordination and motor prediction — plays a central role. When we try to tickle ourselves, it anticipates the timing, location, and pressure of the touch and sends advance signals to suppress the tickle reflex. This dampens sensory input to the somatosensory cortex. Why are some people less ticklish? Key reasons include individual differences in sensory nerve density and brain processing. Those with fewer A-beta or C-tactile fibers may be less sensitive to light touch. Additionally, in some individuals, the cerebellum’s ability to predict touch — even from others — can suppress the tickle response. Psychological factors such as mood and attention also matter; distraction or calmness may reduce ticklish sensations. In conclusion, ticklishness is a complex interplay of sensory processing and evolutionary adaptation. It serves both social and protective functions, linking physical sensation to emotional and survival behaviors. While further research may elaborate on individual variations, current evidence confirms it as a significant evolved human trait. 32. What’s the new finding about ticklishness? A. It is merely a simple physical reflex. B. It is mainly caused by psychological factors. C. It has clear physiological and evolutionary roots. D. It is unique to human babies and young children. 33. According to the 2023 study, what is the evolutionary function of ticklishness? A. To serve as a protective reflex. B. To help adults make more friends. C. To improve babies’ sense of hearing. D. To enhance people’s physical strength. 34. Why does self-tickling rarely work as effectively as being tickled by others? A. The somatosensory cortex is not activated during self-tickling. B. The cerebellum predicts the touch and contains the reflex. C. Self-tickling cannot activate A-beta and C-tactile fibers. D. People are usually distracted when tickling themselves. 35. What do we know about people who are less ticklish? A. They have no A-beta or C-tactile fibers at all. B. They are more likely to feel anxious in daily life. C. Their cerebellum is unable to predict external touches. D. They may have fewer sensory nerve fibers related to touch. 16 江苏省基地学校大联考2026届高三4月质量检测 C After opening up a package, most of us break down the cardboard box and bring it to the recycling box, but not Josh Gluckstein. This London-based artist uses the material to create incredible sculptures of wildlife, transforming the brown paper into animals like giraffes, lions, and gorillas. Most recently, he’s pushed himself to complete his most ambitious project to date — an 8-foot tall cardboard coral reef (珊瑚礁) filled with over 50 different species of animals. Gluckstein has been documenting the entire creative process on Instagram and TikTok. From colorful coral to animals like sea turtles, the sculpture offers a detailed view of life underwater. According to the artist, it “celebrates the wonder and rich biodiversity of our oceans while raising awareness for the challenges facing our ocean life.” Created for Homo Faber, a month-long exhibition in Venice that celebrates modern artisans (手艺人), the sculpture was a creative challenge for Glickstein. In order to create the necessary textures for the reef, he turned to different types of cardboard. His videos give an insight into how he processes the cardboard. We watch as he shapes individual pieces of coral, which come to life when painted and placed on the reef. Next are the animals. As each one is added to the reef, the sculpture takes on an impressive quality and becomes a 360-degree experience. So rich in detail, it’s difficult to choose a favorite part of the reef, but Gluckstein does have his personal selection. “The cardboard straw anemone (海葵),” he says. “I love the message about the threat of plastic waste in the ocean and the difference we can make by making more sustainable choices.” Now, he hopes that his reef will remind people of the ocean’s magical beauty and show the incredible creative possibilities of cardboard. To create his commitment to ocean conservation, Gluckstein is donating 10% of the profits from this special piece to the charity Oceana, which works to protect and restore the world’s oceans. 28. Why did Gluckstein demonstrate his grand project online? A. To show the difficulty in creating sculptures. B. To provide a detailed view of underwater life. C. To make people aware of the threat to sea life. D. To promote the month-long exhibition in Venice. 29. Why does Gluckstein like the cardboard straw anemone best? A. It belongs to the most challenging part. B. It advocates environmental sustainability. C. It reflects the biodiversity of sea species. D. It makes his reef a 360-degree experience. 30. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The artist’s future study of using cardboard. B. The public’s reaction to the cardboard statue. C. Gluckstein’s dedication to ocean conservation. D. Gluckstein’s exploration into the oceanic life. 31. Which of the following might be the best title for the text? A. The duty of modern artisans: turning cardboard into animals B. Social media: a new platform for recording artistic process C. The new challenge: creating 3D sculptures for exhibitions D. Recycled cardboard: a novel means of sea life conservation D As advancements in AI continue to unfold, robots are emerging as a transformative force in the elderly care industry across China. With innovations ranging from feeding robots to those designed for recovery and hygiene (卫生) assistance, an increasing range of age-friendly tech products is being introduced to support seniors. These cutting-edge solutions are making up for traditional family-based care models, announcing a new era in the way we approach elder care. Recently, cities such as Shanghai and Xi’an, have launched innovative smart elderly care initiatives aimed at enhancing the combined development of elderly care services and related industries. This move came in response to the rising interest in smart elderly care. Many nursing homes in Chinese cities are now integrating intelligent care robots into their operations. For example, at a home care center in Fuzhou, a group of seniors averaging 86 years old are enjoying a more convenient and dynamic lifestyle thanks to the introduction of “smart nannies.” Among the cutting-edge technologies being employed to assist seniors with disabilities are robotic “caregivers,” multifunctional transfer bed-chairs, and fall-detection alarms. In 2024, a resident from Shenzhen, Guangdong, surnamed Xia, invested nearly 30,000 yuan in a toileting care robot for his 80-year-old bedridden grandfather, which can help him stand and walk for toileting. It can automatically sense needs and perform fully automated processes. Since its introduction, this toileting care robot has greatly eased the caregiving burden on family members. “It’s much less exhausting now. When the drain water tank is full, we just empty the wastewater and refill it with clean water,” Xia said. He expressed hope for more walking-assist robots, noting that the high cost of current models remains a barrier for many families. Chen Zhengxiang, an AI model trainer based in Suzhou, East China’s Jiangsu Province, has conducted research in many nursing homes across the country. He told the Global Times that current robots on the market still have shortcomings in human-robot interaction. For instance, they struggle to recognize commands spoken in local dialects, and their emotional interactions remain at a programmed response level. 32.

Money’s ups and downs strongly affect my mood, especially during the holidays, when every festival activity seems to come with a price tag. Despite my financial stability — owning a home with my wife, low costs, and savings — money often feels like an emotional burden. Elizabeth Husserl, author of The Power of Enough: Finding Joy in Your Relationship with Money, explains that money is deeply personal. “The same amount means different things based on lifestyles and choices,” she says. Rising expenses can cause anxiety and lead people to focus too much on making or saving money, taking attention away from other important aspects of life. This pursuit can harm mental health, creating a life where money becomes both a scapegoat (替罪羊) and a distraction from unmet emotional needs. Husserl highlights that while financial security forms a baseline, money alone cannot bring satisfaction. Some people spend their lives saving without enjoying the fruits of their labor, while others turn to emotional spending, like shopping, to deal with stress, covering deeper issues like loneliness or a lack of purpose. True wealth, she argues, comes from recognizing these emotional drives and matching finances with life priorities. To build a healthier relationship with money, Husserl recommends understanding the emotional reasons behind spending, setting clear priorities, and redefining wealth. Practical steps include journaling about feelings toward money and taking the time to evaluate the value of purchases. Broadening the definition of wealth to include relationships, health, and purpose helps balance financial goals with personal well-being. Talking to Husserl shifted my view. While holiday spending remains a concern, I’ve begun to see it as typical for the season and feel more confident in recovering financially. Though my bank app doesn’t always bring joy, it’s a reminder of what truly makes me feel rich. 28. Why does the writer mention checking his bank balance regularly? A. To track his savings progress.

D With growing global energy demands and mounting concerns over pollution and climate change, the shift to clean energy sources is important. While nuclear, wind, and solar energy have played significant roles as alternatives to fossil fuels, hydrogen energy is emerging as a key player in achieving carbon neutrality (碳中和). According to Professor Liu Lifeng, hydrogen has the potential to decarbonize energy—intensive industries, thus contributing to net-zero emission (净零排放) goals. However, traditional hydrogen production methods are infamous for their significant environmental impact. A cleaner and more sustainable approach involves producing hydrogen from water through electrolysis (电解). Renewable energy-powered electrolysis is a promising method for producing “green” hydrogen, but freshwater shortage may stop large-scale expansion. To address this challenge, Liu’s team has pioneered a way to produce hydrogen from seawater. Seawater electrolysis, however, faces problems due to the presence of mixtures, which increase energy consumption and cause side reactions. To overcome these barriers, the team proposed a rather ingenious strategy involving the addition of hydrazine (肼) to seawater to enhance efficiency. Additionally, they chose platinum-tellurium foil, a highly effective catalyst (催化剂) that improves the process without causing harmful chemical side effects. Their innovative device has produced promising results. This means that hydrogen can be produced from seawater without requiring external electricity, hence lowering production costs and improving $
