主题:科技创新答案:P400
Bhavin Shastri's interest in light started young.He recalls an experiment that he saw as a
child:A plastic water bottle was stuck near its base such that a steady stream of water flowed
out and downward under the force of gravity.A light shined through the hole in the bottle
and,to Shastri's amazement,it didn't continue on a horizontal path.Instead,it bent downward
with the stream of water."I was just so completely blown away by this experiment,"he says.
Since then,Shastri has been thinking about how light can be controlled,while also explo-
ring other research interests.In college,he worked with a professor who was researching
machine learning.As a postdoc at Princeton University,Shastri met physicist Paul Prucnal.He
told Shastri about his research creating a light that behaves like a biological neuron(神经元),
and how the team was looking to compute with such light.That idea caught Shastri's attention.
Though researchers have used light to send,store and process data in the lab,photonic(
computing is still at its early stage.Shastri has set out to push those boundaries.He engi-
neers,builds and performs experiments on chip-sized(芯片大小的)photonic devices.His team
began by studying simpler devices similar to a single neuron,analyzing how they could function
like a biological neuron.Years later,in a yet-to-be-published work,the researchers have
demonstrated that a chip with 100,000 neuron-like components can perform 120 billion opera-
tions per second,about 40 times faster than the average electronic computer.
Daniel Brunner,a computing researcher at FEMTO-ST Institute,praised Shastri's ground-
breaking work."I can't even count the publications where he basically laid the foundation for
using photonics to create physical neural networks,Brunner says.
Shastri may be set on transforming computing,but his work is motivated by a decades-old
fascination with light and its properties."I have been very lucky to be able to do something,"
he says,"that has always been my childhood dream.
1.What attracted Shastri most about the experiment in paragraph 1?
A.Effects of gravity on objects.
B.Properties of plastic products
C.The pressure of flowing water.
D.The phenomenon of light bending.
2.What did Prucnal inspire Shastri to do?

Passage18(2025山东临沂一模,C)
主题:科技创新答案:P401
Statistics show that the market value of global Extended Reality (XR)industry has gone
beyond 20.4 billion.XR,an umbrella term including technologies such as Virtual Reality
(VR),Augmented Reality (AR)and Mixed Reality (MR),refers to real-and-virtual combined
environments and human-machine interactions generated by wearable devices and computer
technology.As XR technologies become more mature,they have been gradually applied in
more scenarios()that are closely related to the daily life of ordinary people,and have seen
new consumer markets in recent years.
The application of XR technologies has made it possible for users to "travel to the past"
and "wander in the universe"through virtual trips.An XR experience store in Shenzhen,
recently launched a program for citizens,which involved digital tours to the Jurassic period(
罗纪)and outer space.
XR technologies have also been integrated into the application scenarios concerning smart
tourism projects.XR technologies can help tourist attractions launch systems that enable
visitors to better learn about faraway places and remote times in immersive(沉浸式的)scenes,.
as well as tourist guide systems and other systems that bring wonderful experiences for visitors
through VR or AR glasses,mobile apps and browsers.Compared with offline tours,scenarios
reproduced by XR technologies can enrich the experiences of users.
China's Spring Festival Gala last year adopted XR technologies,enabling singers who
couldn't be present at the gala to give performances remotely.
The XR industry is full of possibilities,and the 5G technology is considered a catalyst(
for further stimulating its potential.Last January,the branch of China Mobile,a major
Chinese telecommunications operator in Zhengzhou,built the province's first "5G+XR*
commercial complex in shopping mall.
Industry insiders pointed out that with constant progress being made in the large-scale
deployment of the 5G network and its innovative applications,the "5G+XR"model is produ-
cing a large number of new application scenarios including social networking,office work,
entertainment,exhibition and education,which will provide broad development space for the
XR industry.
1.What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A.The historical development of XR technologies.
B.The XR technologies and their commercial value.
C.The challenges faced by the XR industry in the global market.
D.The comparison between XR and other emerging technologies.
2.How does XR help in daily life?
A.Help visitors better plan their travel routes.
B.Take users to travel in outer space in person.
C.Let singers in different places share the same stage.
D.Make tourist attractions more environmentally friendly
3.What can be inferred from the passage about the "5G+XR"model?
A.It has been widely used in Zhengzhou.
B.It will lead to more people to fail to socialize.
C.It will create many new opportunities for people
D.It has made traditional shopping malls disappear.

Passage19(2025山东菏泽一模,C)
主题:发展与环境答案:P401
Disastrous floods are becoming more and more common around the world.The warming
climate is leading to heavier rainfall,but as cities expand,and more and more land is under
concrete or paving,less water is absorbed and more needs to be channelled away by storm
drains and sewerage(雨污排水)systems.As they become overwhelmed by the volume of
water,the risk of flash flooding increases.Could the way that cities are growing be making
things worse?Could we design cities in a different way to reduce the risk of flooding?
Chinese landscape architect Yu Kongjian certainly thinks so.Early in 2013,he proposed
the concept of“sponge((海绵)cities'”,which are designed to soak up water-like a sponge
reducing the risk of sudden floods.Natural solutions are encouraged,using riverside parks and
ponds to absorb floodwater.Approaches inspired by this have been taken by cities across the
world.Auckland,in New Zealand,was named the spongiest city in one study.It has replaced
the concrete culverts()around the Oakley stream with green banks and connected parks.
This has reduced flooding in the nearby residential areas as well as the amount of associated
pollutants which used to be washed into the sea.
Auckland has taken a natural approach,but a much more high-tech method can be seen in
Amsterdam.The Dutch city has installed blue-green roofs on a number of buildings.These
roofs have a layer of plants on the outside,and then layers beneath which collect and store
rainwater.This water can be used by people to water plants or wash toilets.Advanced software
can even tell the roofs to release water ahead of upcoming storms to maximize the system's
ability to absorb rainwater.
Yu Kongjian describes the sponge city approach as using Tai Chi with nature instead of
boxing.Questions have been raised as to whether a natural approach is sufficient when faced
with increased rain fall globally.What remains to be seen is whether increased scale and
combination with modern technology can help natural methods save many more people
from flooding.
1.What may cause the risk of city flooding?
A.The city size.
B.The city design.
C.The city location.
D.The city population.
2.Which of the following fail to serve as "sponge"?
A.Riverside parks.
B.Ponds.
C.Blue-green roofs.
D.Culverts.
3.What can be inferred about the sponge city approach from the last paragraph?
A.It uses boxing with nature.
B.It works well without doubt.
C.Its further function needs testing.
D.It is sufficient for future flooding
4.What's the main idea of the text?
A.How sponge cities could prevent floods
B.Why the concept of "sponge cities"was proposed.
C.Why floods are becoming more and more common.
D.How the natural approach combines with high-tech methods.

Passage20(2024一2025山东日照期末,D)
主题:生活方式答案:P401
One of my favorite things about the parenting stage I'm at is the amount of hugs I get to
give on a daily basis.My child is quite young and a good long hug still works to calm her down
when she's upset or trying to will herself to stay awake at bedtime.But that golden touch isn't
something unique to our parent-child relationship.Parents all over the world use a gentle caress
(爱抚)to calm our children.
Scientists say that special touch is something all of us mammals use on our children.It's
thought to activate the C-tactile fibers under the parts of our skin covered with hair,which
results in relief,said neurobiologist Ishmail Abdus-Saboor.As the story explains,it turns out
that the fibers,which have sensory terminals that appear to be free nerve endings,are "espe-
cially equipped to detect a gentle,stroking caress and are part of a system activating the warm,
calm and peaceful feeling you have when you are with people who love you".
At the start of the year,Abdus-Saboor published a paper in Cell that demonstrated the
activation of these neurons in mice.Apparently,touch sparks the dopamine()pathways
in their brains,causing them to seek the hug or touch again and again."These nerves basically
have a dedicated,neuronal highway to the brain's reward centers,"he explained."So why
would you wire a system like this?Well,turning on these neurons is so important for social
encounters,relationships,bonding,calming and stress relief."
There is some evidence that the nerves may also activate the release of endorphins(
in people's brains.But even neuroscientists who are unsure about an endorphin link agree
that you rarely need words to calm a bad-tempered kid:A parental caress may be all that's
needed for children to feel cared for and safe."Being touched is just a basic need,like having
dinner when you are hungry,"said neuroscientist Helena Wessling."You need to have this
touch in order for you to reach a good,steady state in your body.You need it so you can feel
safe enough to go out and explore the world.
1.What do scientists say about the C-tactile fibers?
A.They are sensitive to sounds.
B.They are unique to human beings.
C.They can contribute to positive feelings.D.They can be found throughout our body.
2.Why did Abdus-Saboor conduct the experiment on mice?
A.To learn more about their brain structure.
B.To prove the favorable outcomes of touch.
C.To identify similarities between them and humans.
D.To confirm the existence of C-tactile fibers in their bodies.
3.What can be inferred from Helena Wessling's words?
A.Touch is not suitable for everyone.
B.Touch is essential for one's well-being.
C.The value of touch is often underestimated.
D.Parents'touch is especially useful for angry kids
4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?

Passage21(2024山东潍坊二模,C)
主题:人类文明答案:P402
Some people today might be early risers because of DNA they take after Neanderthals tens
of thousands of years ago,suggests new research.
When early humans migrated from Africa to Eurasia roughly 70,000 years ago,some of
them mated with Neanderthals,who had already adapted to the colder,darker climates of the
north.The ripple()effects of that intermating still exist today:Modern humans of non-
African ancestry()have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA.Some of that DNA
relates to sleep more specifically,the internal body clock known as the circadian rhythm.
For the new study,researchers compared DNA from today's humans and DNA from Nean-
derthal fossils().In both groups,they found some of the same genetic variants involved
with the circadian rhythm.And they found that modern humans who carry these variants also
reported being early risers.
For Neanderthals,being"morning people"might not have been the real benefit of carry-
ing these genes.Instead,scientists suggest,Neanderthals'DNA gave them faster,more flexible
internal body clocks,which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual changes in daylight.
This connection makes sense in the context of human history.When early humans moved north
out of Africa,they would have experienced variable daylight hours-shorter days in the winter
and longer days in the summer for the first time.The Neanderthals'circadian rhythm genes
likely helped early humans'offspring()adapt to this new environment.
Notably,the findings do not prove that Neanderthal genes are responsible for the sleep
habits of all early risers.Lots of different factors beyond genetics can contribute,including
social and environmental influences.The study also only included DNA from a database called
the U.K.Biobank-so the findings may not necessarily apply to all modern humans.Next,the
research team hopes to study other genetic databases to see if the same link holds true for
people of other ancestries.If the findings do apply more broadly,they may one day be useful
for improving sleep in the modern world,where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts
and glowing smartphones.
1.What does the new research focus on?
A.DNA's dramatic changes.
B.Genes'influence on early risers.
C.Neanderthals'sleeping patterns.
D.Ancestors'environmental adaptability.
2.What is paragraph 2 intended to show concerning the new research?
A.Historical context.
B.Additional proof.
C.Sample analysis.
D.Studying process.
3.What is the real benefit of carrying Neanderthals'DNA for modern humans?
A.Getting up earlier.
B.Having healthier daily routines.
C.Being more flexible in their work.
D.Possessing a better circadian rhythm.
4.What can be inferred about the findings from the last paragraph?
A.They get proof from other studies.
B.They are confirmed by early risers.
C.They suggest potential applications.
D.They reveal factors in sleeping disorders.

Passage22(2024山东泰安二模,D)
主题:语言演变答案:P402
When Spanish meets English,new dialects emerge,giving us real-time insight into language
evolution,linguists say.
For instance,"Vamos de punchespunchespunches",Yamilet Munoz texted her friends in
Austin,Texas.It means "let's go and party",but it's not a phrase you'll find in any dictionary.
It's a remix of Spanish and English words seasoned with an in-joke about punching the air as
you dance.
"Our language has always been a very big indicator of our cultural pride,says Munoz,
whose parents migrated from Mexico to San Antonio,Texas,in the 1990s.Around 66%of the
city's population identify as Hispanic or Latino/Latina.For Munoz and her friends there is
pride in speaking Spanish,but also in mixing the languages into the hybrid known as Spanglish.
The evolution of Spanglish has been documented for decades,with each generation adding
its unique twist.Now a growing body of research,as well as the experiences of bilingual(
speakers like Munoz,shows just how deeply English and Spanish are influencing each other
in the United States,resulting in hybrid dialects like Spanglish,but also,transforming the
underlying languages.
For the past decade,Carter and his colleagues have studied language change in Miami,a
city where some 72%identify as Latino or Hispanic and which is strongly shaped by historical
migration from Cuba.Their research documents the emergence of a distinct "Miami English"
dialect as a result of that Spanish-language heritage.
The Spanish influence has also shown up in ways people may not immediately notice,such
as sounds like the“oo”in“boot”being pronounced in a more Spanish-style way in Miami,more
like the Spanish "u"vowel,according to separate research by Carter,Lydda Lopez Valdez at
the University of Miami and Nandi Sims at Ohio State University.
"This is the work of language change,this is the work of dialect formation,this is how it
happens.It happens in things that are really noticeable,like the phrase 'get down from the
car',but it also happens in really slight ways,"he says.
1.Why is an example introduced in paragraph 2?
A.To illustrate the language innovation.
B.To explain the advantage of Spanish
C.To highlight the mix of Spanish and English.
D.To prove the enrichment of English vocabulary.
2.What can be inferred from Munoz and her friends?
A.Spanish and English are interrelating.
B.Mixing two languages is complicated.
C.Languages dominate cultural development.
D.Bilingualists tend to observe their own culture.
3.What does Carter intend to convey?
A.Dialects evolve flexibly and frequently
B.Spanish possesses more sounds than English
C.Phrases are changing more slowly than before.
D.Language change is progressive and dynamic.
4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.How Researchers Are Studying Languages
B.How Modern English Is Changing Globally
C.How a Generation Is Reinventing Spanglish
D.How Spanglish Is Influencing American Culture

主题:艺术和科学答案:P403
Science is always seen as hard-core and hard to understand.But could you imagine
hundreds of people being attracted by the cover of a science magazine?
The achievement was completed after Wang Yixi and his team made the cover of an October
issue of Structure,a US-based Cell Press journal.The cover shows a Chinese ink painting that
vividly shows the process in which a special enzyme(酶)involved in the biosynthesis(生物合
of an important organic compound is activated-the latest breakthrough by a Chinese
scientific research team.Another one of his popular works that carries distinctive Chinese
elements is a composite image,describing a scientist as the folk goddess Nyuwa,carrying her
newly discovered compound to fill a crack in the sky.
While studying chemistry at university,Wang Yixi often came across an experimental
preparation process that he had to explain,but the amount of text was too large and abstract.
As he had been interested in drawing,and related software like Photoshop,he decided to turn
his graphics into a fine art.He went on to study 3D graphics software in order to better display
the microscopic structures in his field and improve the presentation of his papers.
It didn't take long before his classmates and professors noticed his talents and asked him
to help them with their papers.By word of mouth,more people beat a path to Wang's door and
were willing to pay for his service.Over the past four years,Wang and his team have come up
with more than 10,000 visual works for academic papers across a variety of fields,many of
which have made their way to the world's top academic journals,including Nature,Science and Cell.
"Every scientific paper is innovative,and graphics are an essential part of scientific
papers,"Wang says,adding that what he tries to achieve is an explanation of models or
methods,to showcase experimental results,visually process data or compare differences among
experiments.
1.What play a special role in Wang's works?
A.Fairytales.B.Chinese elements.
C.Rich colors.
D.Complex structures.
2.What can we learn about Wang Yixi from paragraph 3?
A.He preferred painting to chemistry.
B.He developed useful mapping software.
C.He had an active mind to solve problems.
D.He had trouble conducting his experiment.
3.How does Wang make abstract papers easily understood?
A.By visualizing them vividly.
B.By showing them accurately.
C.By explaining them in detail.
D.By constructing them uniquely.
4.Which is the best title for the text?
A.The power of art
B.Dilemmas of science

Passage24(2024山东济南一模,C)
主题:科学研究成果答案:P403
A new study reveals that pigeons()can tackle some problems just like artificial intel-
ligence,enabling them to solve difficult tasks that might challenge humans.Previous research
has theorized that pigeons employ a problem-solving strategy,involving a trial-and-error
approach,which is similar to the approach used in AI models but differs from humans'reliance
on selective attention and rule use.To examine it,Brandon Turner,a psychology professor at
the Ohio State University,and his colleagues conducted the new study.
In the study,the pigeons were presented with various visual images,including lines of
different widths and angles,and different types of rings.The pigeons had to peck()a button
on the right or left to indicate the category to which the image belonged.If they got it correct,
they received food;if they were wrong,they received nothing.Results showed that,through
trial and error,the pigeons improved their accuracy in categorization tasks,increasing their
correct choices from about 55%to 95%.
Researchers believed pigeons used associative learning,which is linking two phenomena
with each other.For example,it is easy to understand the link between“water”and“wet”
"Associative learning is frequently assumed to be far too primitive to explain complex visual
categorization like what we saw the pigeons do,"Turner said.But that's exactly what the
researchers found.
The researchers'AI model tackled the same tasks using just the two simple mechanisms
that pigeons were assumed to use:associative learning and error correction.And,like the
pigeons,the AI model learned to make the right predictions to significantly increase the number of
correct answers.For humans,the challenge when given tasks like those given to pigeons is that
they would try to come up with rules that could make the task easier.But in this case,there
were no rules,which upsets humans.
"What's interesting,though,is that pigeons use this method of learning that is very similar
to AI designed by humans,"Turner said."We celebrate how smart we are that we designed
artificial intelligence:at the same time,we regard pigeons as not clever animals,"he said.
1.What is the purpose of the new study?
A.To test a theory.
B.To evaluate a model.
C.To employ a strategy.
D.To involve an approach
2.What were the pigeons expected to do in the experiment?
A.Draw circles.B.Correct errors.
C.Copy gestures.D.Identify images.
3.What do pigeons and AI have in common according to the study?
A.They are of equal intelligence.
B.They are good at making rules.
C.They respond rapidly to orders from humans.D.They employ simple ways to get things done.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Pigeons'trial-and-error method is revealed B.Pigeons outperform humans in tough tasks
C."Not smart"pigeons may be as smart as AI D.AI models after pigeons'learning approach

early risers because of DNA they take after Neander-
thals tens of thousands of years ago,suggests new
research.”的意思是“新的研究表明,今天的一些人之
所以成为早起者,可能是因为他们继承了数万年前尼
安德特人的DNA”;第二段至第四段描述了这项研究
的背景和具体研究内容,指出现代人中有1%到4%的
尼安德特人DNA,且其中一些DNA与睡眠,特别是被
称为昼夜节律的内部生物钟有关。由此可知,这项新
的研究主要关注的是基因对早起者的影响。故选B。
2A段落大意题。第二段讲述了大约7万年前,当早期
人类从非洲迁移到欧亚大陆时,他们中的一些人与已
经适应了北方更冷、更阴暗气候的尼安德特人交配。
这种通婚的连锁反应至今仍然存在。非非洲血统的现
代人拥有1%到4%的尼安德特人DNA。由此可推
知,第二段主要是在讲述这项新研究的历史背景。故
选A。
402
③D细节理解题。第四段提到“Neanderthals'DNA
gave them faster,more flexible internal body clocks,
which allowed them to adjust more easily to annual
changes in daylight'”,这句话的意思是“尼安德特人的
DNA给了他们更快、更灵活的内部生物钟,使他们更
容易适应日光的年度变化”。由此可知,携带尼安德特
人的DNA对现代人真正的益处是拥有更好的昼夜节
律。故选D。

apply more broadly,they may one day be useful for
improving sleep in the modern world,where circadian
rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glowing
smartphones..”,这句话的意思是“如果这些发现能更
广泛地应用,它们也许有一天能用于改善现代人的睡眠,
因为在现代世界中,昼夜节律受到夜班和发光的智能手
机的干扰”。由此可推断,这项研究的发现提出了潜在的
应用,即未来可能用于改善现代人的睡眠。故选C。
Passage 22
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了西班牙
语和英语混合形成的“Spanglish(西班牙式英语)”及其在
美国的演变和影响。
①A推理判断题。第二段通过Yamilet Munoz给朋友
发的短信“Vamos de punches punches punches'”展示了
西班牙语和英语的混合使用,创造了一种新的表达方
式。这种表达方式在词典中找不到,但它体现了语言
的创新和演变。因此,引入这个例子是为了说明语言
的创新。故选A。
解题陷阱本题考生容易根据第二段最后一句中的
信息“It's a remix of Spanish and English words'”误选
C。提醒考生做题时对文章建立宏观概念,注意前后段
落的结构和逻辑关系,避免过于关注个别细节,落入
陷阱。
2A推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“For Munoz
and her friends there is pride in speaking Spanish,but
also in mixing the languages into the hybrid known as
Spanglish.”和第四段中的“Now a growing body of
research...shows just how deeply English and Spanish
are influencing each other...”可推知,Munoz和她的
朋友们在说话中混合使用西班牙语和英语,这表明两
种语言是相互关联的。故选A。
3D推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘This is the
work of language change,this is the work of dialect
formation,this is how it happens.It happens in things
that are really noticeable...but it also happens in
really slight ways,’he says.”可推知,Carter想要传达
的是语言变化是渐进的和动态的。故选D。
④C标题归纳题。文章主要讨论了西班牙语和英语混
合形成的Spanglish及其在美国的演变和影响,尤其是
年轻一代如何通过他们的语言使用和创新来塑造这种
混合语言。选项C“一代人是如何重塑西班牙式英语
的”直接概括了文章的主题,突出了年轻一代在塑造
“Spanglish'”这一混合语言方面所起的作用。因此,选
项C是最佳标题。故选C。
解题陷阱本题考生容易误选B项。文章第一段中
"giving us real-time insight into language evolu-
tion”、第五段中的“Carter and his colleagues have
studied language change”以及最后一段中的“This is
the work of language change,this is the work of
dialect formation..”会使考生误认为文章主要讲述
目前语言的变化,对应到B项“HHow Modern English is
Changing Globally”。提醒考生注意识别文章的陈述
对象,是Spanglish,而不是English,避免落入陷阱。

which the image belonged..”可知,鸽子在实验中需要
识别图像。故选D。
3D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“The
researchers'AI model tackled the same tasks using
just the two simple mechanisms that pigeons were
assumed to use:associative learning and error correc-
tion.”以及最后一段中的“What's interesting,though,
is that pigeons use this method of learning that is very
similar to AI designed by humans'”可知,鸽子和人工智
能都采用简单的方法来完成任务。故选D。
④C标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了研究发现,鸽子解决
某些问题的能力与人工智能相似。C项“‘不聪明’的
鸽子可能和人工智能一样聪明”既概括了文章的主要
内容(鸽子和AI的相似性),又具有一定的吸引力。故
选C。

403
答案册
实战高考·英语
problems"pigeons employ a problem-solving strategy,
involving a trial--and-error approach”误选A项。提醒
考生,关键词的提取要全面,避免落入陷阱。
长难句分析
Previous research has theorized that pigeons
employ a problem-solving strategy,involving a trial-
and-error approach,which is similar to the approach
used in AI models but differs from humans'reliance on
selective attention and rule use.
【分析】主句是Previous research has theorized;that
pigeons employ a problem-solving strategy是宾语从
句,作has theorized的宾语;involving a trial-and-error
approach是现在分词短语作定语,修饰strategy;which is
similar to the approach used in AI models but differs
from humans'reliance on selective attention and rule
use是定语从句,修饰先行词a trial-and-error
approach。
【译文】先前的研究提出了一个理论,认为鸽子采用了
一种问题解决策略,这种策略涉及试错法,与AI模型
使用的方法相似,但与人类依赖选择性注意力和规则
运用的方式不同。

less than 1 millimeter in length with their
sausage-shaped bodies and four pairs of short,unjointed
legs,have long interested scientists with their ability to
withstand extreme conditions,including radiation.”可知,
水熊虫的生存能力吸引了科学家。故选A。
2D细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When the
researchers exposed H.henanensis to radiation levels
of 200 and 2,000 grays-far beyond what would be
survivable for humans-they found one of the genes,
called TRID1,edits a protein that helps to repair
double-strand breaks in DNA by gathering specialized
404
proteins at sites of damage.”可知,研究人员发现水熊
虫中的一个基因TRD1能够编辑一种蛋白质,这种蛋
白质通过聚集在损伤部位的特定蛋白质来帮助修复
DNA的双链断裂。因此,水熊虫体内的TRID1能修
复受损的DNA。故选D。
3B词义猜测题。文章第五段提到,DODA1基因能够
使水熊虫产生甜菜碱(betalains),这些物质可以“mop
up”辐射在细胞内产生的有害活性化学物质。根据上
下文可知,mop up在这里的意思是“清除”或“去除”。
故选B。
④D标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了科学家如何通过研
究新发现的水熊虫物种来揭示其抗辐射的机制,并探
讨了这些发现可能的应用,如保护宇航员免受辐射、清
理核污染或改进癌症治疗。因此,选项D“解锁水熊虫
的抗辐射防御机制”是最合适的标题。故选D。
