And that friend is a robot called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk. A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. “So, it sits at the child’s desk in the classroom and the child uses a tablet or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it.” The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. “It has speakers and microphones and cameras, and when the child speaks at home or in the hospital to his iPad it just comes out.” This smooth interaction helps the child keep up with lessons, join group discussions freely and even share small joys with peers in class. It well narrows the distance between their recovery place and school, letting them stay closely linked to campus life instead of being left out alone. The robot is designed to be tough. It is water proof and can take a fall from a desk without damage. Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to 5G network. A small camera connected to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class. 7．What can we know about AV1 in Para.2? A．Its function. B．Its prospect. C．Its developing history. D．Its production material. 8．What do the underlined words “partake in” in Para. 3 probably mean? A．make up for B．replace C．take part in D．design 9．What’s the advantage of the smooth interaction for the student? A．It makes the student forget the pain of recovery. B．It helps the student keep connected with campus life. C．It lets the student have more time to rest at home. D．It allows the student to make more new friends. 10．Why is AV1 designed to be human-like? A．To hold more advanced computer parts. B．To offer kids support and companionship. C．To make it tough enough against falls. D．To attract more attention in the classroom. 11．What is the best title for the text? A．The Development of Smart Robots. B．5G Network: A Trend in Education.

A proposal for “smart signs” has floated recently with the goal of signaling a car’s receiver of what the road sign means. The driver can receive the information through a display on their car’s dashboard or through voice alert. This solution will not be affected by the weather or lighting which can increase one’s safety while driving.Immediate Car Crash Detection Although there are car accidents that result in minor injuries, the result of a crash can often be life-altering. This is where having vehicle communication technology can help. This system will be able to send out a notification of the crash to the nearest emergency response unit to get immediate help. It can also inform other drivers that a car crash has occurred so they can take appropriate measures to avoid adding to the collision (碰撞).Safety Technology for Intersections Crossing an intersection can be tricky as you will never know if other vehicles will be approaching until it is too late. This particular tech can combine sensors as well as cameras to determine if there is incoming traffic or a pedestrian even. It is also possible to use this technology to adjust the light timers to help with the incoming flow of traffic in the intersection.Traffic Violation Detection and Notification Another technology innovation that may help roads become safer is the automatic transmission of information when a violation has occurred. The combination of camera monitoring as well as sensors can help determine if a driver disobeyed any traffic rules and will notify them immediately. The automatic notification will be recorded into the vehicle’s black box, which prevents the driver from making excuses. 18．What is an advantage of the Smarter Traffic Signages system? A．It makes driving fully automatic. B．It is easier to operate on the road. C．It can replace traffic voice alerts. D．It works in any weather condition. 19．What can Immediate Car Crash Detection do?

The new approach could help ease global water shortages, especially in dry regions where clean water is hard to obtain. Scientists have long explored atmospheric water harvesting, a method that collects water directly from the air, even in desert environments. The idea is promising because air contains water vapour almost everywhere. Traditional systems, however, usually depend on solar heat to release the water held by a special absorbent material. As team leader Boriskina explained, materials that are effective at capturing water are often reluctant to release it. As a result, the process can take hours, making it difficult to respond to urgent needs in water-scarce areas. To solve this problem, Boriskina brought in Ikra Shuvo, an MIT graduate student whose research focuses on ultrasound technology for wearable medical devices. Boriskina believed that combining Shuvo’s knowledge of ultrasound with the team’s experience in water-harvesting materials might lead to a faster and more practical way of recovering water. Ultrasound consists of high-frequency sound waves that can create tiny vibrations (震动) in a substance. Based on this principle, the team proposed a simple solution: use ultrasound to break the weak bonds between the captured water molecules and the material. Once those bonds are loosened, the water quickly separates and falls out as droplets. Compared with heat-based methods, this process is much faster and wastes less energy. The researchers then built an ultrasonic water-harvesting device. The system does not rely on heat, though it does require an external power source. A solar cell can power the device and also serve as a sensor, signalling when the absorbent material has reached capacity. The system is programmed to switch on automatically when enough water has been captured. Compared with heat-based methods, it is 45 times more energy-efficient, works without direct sunlight, and can operate repeatedly throughout the day to produce more water. These advantages make it suitable for remote dry regions, where it could provide a steady supply of clean water and offer a greener alternative to energy-intensive methods such as seawater desalination (脱盐). More broadly, this work highlights the value of combining ultrasound technology, materials science, and environmental engineering. Such cross-disciplinary cooperation may open up new ways to solve water shortages in some of the world’s driest regions. Ultimately, this breakthrough could one day bring clean water to millions living in arid regions. 21．What can we learn about traditional water harvesting methods according to Boriskina? A．They use waterproof materials. B．They require complex facilities. C．They are difficult to manufacture. D．They have low efficiency in water output. 22．What can be learned about Shuvo from Paragraph 3? A．He took over the project from Boriskina. B．He developed a new water-harvesting material. C．His professional knowledge led to a breakthrough in the research. D．His solid background in environmental engineering made a difference. 23．The team developed the solution by taking advantage of . A．the improved strength of materials B．ultrasound’s medical applications C．ultrasound’s physical properties D．the rapid release of water 24．The new device is suitable for remote dry regions partly because it can . A．work without direct sunlight B．store rainwater for dry seasons C．operate without external power D．produce fresh water from seawater 25．What mainly accounts for the team’s technological breakthrough? A．Pressing water demand. B．Interschool academic exchanges. C．Boriskina’s exceptional leadership. D．Integration of multiple scientific fields. （2026·安徽六安·模拟预测）Young people’s engagement with social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram is shaping how they understand and interact with the natural world, offering opportunities to connect their online experiences with meaningful encounters with nature, a new study reveals. The research, published in People and Nature, found that teenagers often encounter nature through their time online, which influences their perceptions and behaviors when visiting the countryside. These digital baselines provide educators, policymakers and outdoor leaders with a unique starting point for building deeper connections with nature. Dr. Jack Reed, from the University of Exeter, who led the study, said, “Young people are not separating their online and offline worlds the way previous generations might have. Their experiences of nature can begin online, and this influences how they engage with the outdoors in person. Rather than resisting this change, we can adopt it and use it as a tool to inspire stronger connections with the natural world.” The study emphasizes that “screen based nature” content, from outdoor challenges to virtual environments, is shaping how young people come to know nature. Social media platforms offer round-the-clock access to natural imagery and ideas, inspiring trends like nature-inspired art and outdoor adventures. While these digital interactions lack the sensory richness of being outdoors, they present exciting opportunities to introduce young people to real-life experiences in nature. Dr. Reed said, “It’s clear that young people are learning about nature in new and innovative ways. By recognizing and building on this, we can create educational programs that meet them where they are at and inspire real-world exploration. This approach allows us to connect young people’s online inspirations to the practical benefits of being outdoors.” “There’s no value in trying to deny young people’s use of technology — it’s part of their world,” Dr. Reed said. “Instead, we can celebrate and channel their digital experiences to build meaningful, real-world connections to nature.” 26．What does the underlined part “this change” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Young people’s engaging with social media platforms. B．Young people’s beginning exploring the natural world. C．Young people’s separating their online and offline worlds. D．Young people’s integrating their online and offline worlds. 27．Which of the following is mentioned as a positive effect of “screen-based nature” content? A．It motivates real-world interests. B．It provides a sensory-rich experience. C．It avoids dangerous outdoor adventures. D．It reduces the need for experiences in nature. 28．How does Dr. Reed view young people’s use of social media platforms? A．It’s useless. B．It’s necessary. C．It’s fashionable. D．It’s unbelievable. 29．What does Dr. Reed emphasize about educating young people? A．Limiting technology use to prioritize outdoor activities. B．Replacing digital experiences with traditional education. C．Using online experiences to inspire real-world exploration. D．Encouraging young people to get more digital experiences. （2026·广西桂林·三模）The world’s 4 largest sea protected areas Coral Sea The Coral Sea is off the northeast coast of Australia and it includes the Great Barrier Reef.

I wouldn’t look my boss in the eye and the rest of my day was spent in relative silence. Finally, I left my office and walked home. Around the building near my home, I found some kids were noisily shooting water at each other using water guns. I was annoyed, thinking, “Don’t wet me!” When seeing me in my suit and my mean look, they stopped the water fight and got quiet. Then I noticed a five-year-old kid with a water gun eyeing me a little harder than the others. I eyed him back. Then his brother nodded to him like he was saying, “I dare you.” My eyes tightened a little further as I communicated my own “I dare you” to the five-year-old kid. Then he darted (瞥) a look at me, planning his escape route through the alley, and immediately I knew I was going to get wet. And he got me before he ran toward his exit. Right away I headed toward the alley to preclude his escape. But as I took my first step, his brother, the instigator (唆使者), threw me one of his water guns. I caught it and without much thinking, I shot water at him. He shot back but his shooter was no match for mine. So he turned his water gun on a few other little kids after that. Then, somehow I also turned my water gun on these kids and before long we were in an all-out water fight. Soon, there were water balloons dropping from upstairs windows and the whole block seemed to be involved — adults and kids. Needless to say, I was totally wet and laughing like I had never laughed before. It was the five-year-old kid who brought out the kid in me and helped me realize that you may not be able to control your disappointment but you can still let the joy in. 38．Why did the author spend the rest of his day in relative silence?

My mother believes that both are morally suspect, a lesson we readily pass on to our children: avoid the cheater and the whisperer. But stories simplify reality. The most effective social climbers and gossipers possess a remarkable grasp of social structure to navigate their social worlds. This skill isn’t a moral failing; it’s a cognitive (认知的) skill. Recent work from my laboratory shows that cognitive maps — mental representations of the social world — shape our critical social skills. Social success depends not just on whom you know but also on how well you understand the invisible architecture of your social world. Mapping this is no small task, as social networks are large and dynamic. Yet building such cognitive maps offers great advantages. To better understand social navigation, my collaborator and I developed studies to investigate how people build cognitive maps. Across a year we tracked about 200 freshmen’s friendships and asked them to report their understanding of others’ connections. In one study, we discovered that those who rise to the top of the social structure aren’t the most charming or outgoing — they’re the best social mapmakers. The most influential people quickly build mental maps of their peers’ connection; those initially influential but without accurate mental maps of the network did not stay influential for long. In a second paper, we examined whether mapmaking aids gossiping — a behavior that, despite its poor reputation, can be an efficient way to quickly learn about the ins and outs of the community. To understand how humans pull off this remarkable task, we wondered whether mapmaking helps predict where information will spread. Mental maps become quite useful in this case, as they reveal two key network features: someone’s popularity and their distance from the gossip target. They help find a good friend — someone far enough from the target yet well-connected to spread information. How does the brain build these maps? In one of our recent studies, we discovered that the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex — a neural (神经的) center known for navigating physical space — also carries a map of connections among people. The more strongly these maps are rooted in the brain, the better we are at brokering community ties. If the brain needs to quickly figure out where gossip might spread, knowing where the popular people are positioned or the key relationships that bridge the otherwise disconnected communities allows us to chart the sequence of ties that can efficiently cross the network. Strategic wayfinding isn’t only for physical space. It is just as necessary to be able to effectively move through our social landscapes. Armed with a deliberately unclear map of their social community, skilled social navigators can do what no GPS can. They see the bridges before they’re built, avoid the storms of gossip, and map out a course to common ground. 43．As for his mother’s belief, the author is ________. A．unconcerned B．supportive C．puzzled D．disapproving 44．What does the author suggest about the ability to navigate social worlds? A．It is a cognitive skill. B．It relies on being charming.

The Society of Authors described its labelling as “an important logo to protect and promote human creativity instead of AI labelled content in the marketplace”. Visitors to the fair were also given copies of Don’t Steal This Book， a collection of 10，000 writers including Nobel winner Kazuo Ishiguro and Richard Osman, in which the pages are completely blank. The back cover states: “The UK government must not legalize book theft to benefit AI companies.” The empty book is a protest against AI companies using copyrighted works without permission or payment to train their models and against UK government proposals that could legalize this practice. Organized by Ed Newton-Rex, a composer and copyright campaigner， the project has drawn vast support from the literary world. The AI industry is “built on stolen work”. “This is a crime that has victims,” he added, “Generative AI competes with the creators of the works it trains on, taking away their livelihoods.” The protest comes just a week before the UK government is due to publish an economic impact assessment of proposed changes to copyright law. The government initially proposed a system, under which AI firms could use copyrighted material unless rights holders refused permission – an exact opposite of copyright law’s core principle. Only 3% of people surveyed backed the plan. The government dropped it but is now considering a “commercial research exception” that would still allow AI companies to use works without approval for commercial training. For the authors behind Don’t Steal This Book, the blank pages are a powerful symbol: they represent the future of writing if AI companies continue to use creative work without payment - a world where authors are left with nothing. As the Society of Authors put it, the empty book is just a band-aid fix - but the real solution is a copyright system that protects human creativity, not commercial greed. 48．Why were the books stamped with “Human Authored” logos? A．To introduce promising authors. B．To promote newly-published works. C．To show public sympathy for authors. D．To fight AI stealing copyrighted works. 49．What does the underlined word “victims” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Human writers. B．Literary campaigners. C．Ordinary readers. D．Generative AI developers. 50．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The protest weakens UK’s economy. B．The UK government favors AI firms. C．Copyright law enjoys public support. D．AI firms prioritize commercial profits. 51．How does the Society of Authors view the empty book? A．It is a win-win deal. B．It is a game changer. C．It is a well-intentioned failure. D．It is a temporary measure. （2026·广东佛山·模拟预测）In January 2024, near Dominica, I encountered a sperm whale named Pinchy. As she sank into the deep, I realized that despite our shared mammalian need for air, we lived in entirely separate worlds. As a scientist studying whale communication, I wondered what whales might tell me if I could understand what she was saying? My research has learned that sperm whales have a remarkably sophisticated communication system — one that may even resemble a form of language. This discovery has been made possible thanks to the use of technology itself, especially artificial intelligence. This might seem contradictory. In our technology-driven civilization, doesn’t technology often make us more distant from the natural world? Yet what I’ve come to know is that technology and nature do not exist in a zero-sum relationship, where the rise of one side is the downfall of the other. Instead, these tools can give humans an opportunity to feel more connected to nature. This view took years to fully form. In recent work, when AI technologies began to predict words and form sentences on their own, my colleagues and I work with computer scientists to test if these models could analyze sperm whale codas (嗒嗒声). In a pilot study, AI successfully identified different coda types, whale family groups and even individual whales with over 90% accuracy. This gave rise to Project CETI, an initiative where 50 biologists, AI experts and linguists work together to decode whale communication. Our latest study shows that sperm whales produce sounds similar to human vowels. Later this year, we will release an AI system that can translate human audio into whale-like sounds — allowing humans, for the first time, to potentially experience what it might be like to interact with a whale in its own language. The potential is profound. Truly understanding whale ‌“language” would not only rewrite biology textbooks, but also fundamentally challenge our human-centered worldview. Just as Copernicus showed that Earth was not the center of the universe, we hope our work could mark a similar shift — a recognition that we are not the only beings with rich internal and communal lives. To me, this is the real potential promise of AI: not to make us faster or more efficient, but to make us wiser. 52．What can be inferred from the author’s discussion of technology and nature? A．As technology rises, nature falls． B．Technology separates humans from nature． C．Technology and nature are mutually beneficial． D．Technology leads to the destruction of nature． 53．What is the primary goal of Project CETI? A．To classify different whale species． B．To use AI to understand whale communication． C．To study the behavior of whales in the wild． D．To train whale to communicate with humans． 54．Why does the author mention Copernicus in paragraph 6? A．To highlight a cognitive shift through comparison． B．To criticize traditional views of human centrality． C．To show the project is as complex as astronomy． D．To stress the importance of scientific discoveries． 55．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．AI: A Double-edged Sword in Modern Science B．Whale Communication: The Discovery of “Vowels” C．Sperm Whales: The Intelligent Creatures in the Ocean D．Talking to Whales: AI Bridges the Gap Between Species （2026·山东·模拟预测）Welcome to our 2026 International Summer Course, a program designed for global teenagers aged 15-18 to enhance academic skills and cross-cultural communication.

Repair was usually the only option. So when faced with a broken hoe (锄头) one summer, I let my brain do a little time-traveling and decided to make the repair, just like grandpa would have done. I dug through my old toolbox for the needed parts, sorting through a mix of nails, screws, and bolts. I have a strong love for the past and cherish the bonds connecting present and past generations. Finally, I chose my favorite hammer passed down from my dad, who received it from his dad. Grandpa’s hammer has a worn, ash handle, the grain smooth from 70 years of use and spotted with colorful paint. Grandpa used his hammer to make things — a kitchen table, a rocking chair and a doll house. Grandpa said it took two things to make dreams come true — faith and a hammer. My grandpa was quiet and reserved. but never humourless. Small, silly things would amuse him. He had his favorite expressions. He liked saying “It’s immaterial to me” even when “I don’t mind” would have been enough. Deep down, I think he was probably disappointed that he hadn’t achieved more in life. He left school without qualifications and became a carpenter — a job he wasn’t passionate about. He was never particularly ambitious, though there was a moment when he and my grandma planned to move to Canada, an idea that never came to fruition. Where he came into his own was around the house. He had an ‌“eye for the job”. Whether it was building a bookshelf or fixing a cupboard — what he could achieve was astonishing. Repairing the hoe meant digging through Grandpa’s dusty hardware. With just the right bolt in hand, I was ready to begin. As I finished the hoe repair and replaced the hammer, I said a hearty thanks to grandpa. I’m determined to pass it to the next generation — mentoring with purpose and weaving together the connecting cords. 59．Why did the author choose to repair the hoe? A．Repair was usually the only option. B．He wanted to carry on the family tradition. C．He wanted to test if the hammer still worked. D．The toolbox had the parts needed for the repair. 60．What is the writer’s attitude to his grandpa in paragraph 3? A．He sympathized with his grandpa’s behavior. B．He regretted his grandpa had not achieved more. C．He was annoyed by his grandpa’s choice of words. D．He was grateful his grandpa never moved to Canada. 61．What does the underlined phrase “came into his own” in paragraph 3 mean? A．He was able to show his real talents. B．He was able to do things on his own. C．He was able to forget his past failures. D．He was able to continue his regular job. 62．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To argue the value of old objects. B．To show how to repair old tools. C．To reflect on personal experiences. D．To share imagined family histories. （2026·北京朝阳·模拟预测）It had been a week since we moved to New York. On the way to a picnic at Yaddo Gardens, I complained, “New school, no friends, nothing to do. I hate it!” Mom and Dad exchanged glances, sighing, as the silent car wound into the shady path. “We’re here!” my dad said, attempting enthusiasm. We laid out the blanket, looking at the gardens that were just starting to bloom. A number of people in green shirts and garden gloves bent over, hard at work. With a smile, a chatty woman named Vera told us about their voluntary work here. “Hey,” my dad elbowed me, “maybe you should work here!” I rolled my eyes, but with nothing else to do, I decided to give it a try. I was there bright and early on a Tuesday morning. Entering my assigned garden, my hands struggled with a bucket and gloves. Vera introduced me to John, the head gardener, whose energy truly impressed me. At eighty-one, he still hiked mountains and bounded around with ease, cutting and clearing plants with a skill I could never have. Over the next several months, I came to the gardens regularly. John would always be there, smiling and ready to teach me a new lesson about roses and life. During snack breaks, my new friend and I would chat and discuss everything from mountains to middle school, laughing and learning the joys of a friendship across generations. One day I opened up about my fears for the fall. “I’m just not ready for school,” I said, biting my lip. “What if I have no friends?” John said nothing, but took me instead to a spot overlooking the four-quadrant (象限) garden. “See these two quadrants? Now look at the other two. What’s different?” I looked back and forth. “The left ones are shorter!” “Exactly. From a certain spot, all the beds look the same size. It’s called perspectivism. You can see your new school as scary, or as an opportunity. The choice is yours.” Three months later, after I had started high school, it was time for the Yaddo Gardens volunteer celebration. I saw John — my first friend in New York — and gave him a hug. “You were right,” I said. “I just needed a little perspective.” 63．What was the main cause for Dana’s complaint? A．Her parents’ unnatural glances. B．Her fear of the friendless new life. C．Her boredom with the picnic plan. D．Her father’s pretended enthusiasm. 64．Why did Dana agree to volunteer at Yaddo Gardens? A．To fill her time. B．To please her parents. C．To learn gardening. D．To escape from school. 65．What role does John mainly play in Dana’s life? A．A silent listener to her school fears. B．A reminder of her love for gardening. C．An elderly friend offering life guidance. D．A gardener leading her to voluntary work. 66．What can we learn from this passage? A．Where there is life, there is hope. B．Friendship needs time to grow old. C．Change always comes bearing gifts. D．Everything comes to him who waits. （2026·江西南昌·模拟预测）As artificial intelligence-powered prosthetic (义肢的) arms become more common, one key question stands out: Will people truly feel that these devices are part of their bodies? To explore this, a group of scientists conducted new research. Traditional prosthetics research has focused on control methods that enable devices to respond accurately to user intentions, often by detecting bio-signals. This time, researchers used virtual reality to create the illusion (错觉) that a participant’s biological arm had been replaced with a robotic prosthetic. Participants performed reaching tasks while the virtual prosthetic arm independently moved toward the target. The researchers systematically varied how long the movement lasts across six levels, ranging from 125 milliseconds (毫秒) to 4 seconds. After each trial, participants evaluated multiple dimensions including body ownership, sense of agency, usability, and social impressions of the robot. Researchers found that when prosthetic limbs move at a suitable pace with a movement time of about one second instead of 125 milliseconds, participants report the strongest sense of body ownership and usability. The findings challenge the assumption that high speed is the most important measure of quality in prosthetic design, showing instead that natural movement timing is essential for user acceptance. At the same time, advances in machine learning and AI are opening the door to prosthetic limbs that can act on their own. Future systems may assess a complex situation and provide support through autonomous or semi-autonomous movement. However, when a limb moves independently, users may experience it as “unsettling” or “not part of my body.” That reaction poses a significant obstacle to widespread acceptance. Looking ahead, the research team plans to explore how long-term use changes perception. People often begin to experience frequently used tools as if they were part of their body. With continued daily use, even a fast and highly capable robotic limb may start to feel normal, easier to operate, and more like part of one’s own body. 67．How did the new research study prosthetics? A．By using virtual reality to imitate a robotic arm. B．By focusing on conventional control methods. C．By detecting biosignals from users’ muscles. D．By asking participants to wear real prosthetic arms. 68．What can we learn about the study results? A．Faster prosthetic movement leads to stronger body ownership. B．The sense of agency is unrelated to movement speed. C．Users prefer prosthetics that act completely on their own. D．Natural movement timing matters more than high speed. 69．What might be a challenge for the acceptance of prosthetic limbs? A．Lack of advanced technology. B．Unease about self-moving limbs. C．High cost of production. D．Complexity of the system. 70．What does the follow-up study focus on? A．Frequencies of using prosthetics. B．Improvement of arm appearance. C．Effects of the daily use on users’ feeling. D．Complete replacement of human arms. （2026·北京朝阳·模拟预测）Writing is one of the great channels of expression. It gave human thought the power to travel across centuries. But that may be changing. Writing hasn’t failed, but the conditions around it, particularly Large Language Models, have deeply changed it. Writing is more than words on a page. 71 Behind the words is a mind trying to work something out. Writing has what I would call a biography behind it. 72 That gives the written word a kind of authority that is not only literary, but psychological. It feels connected to a person. That connection is disappearing. Large Language Models can write. The work is often smooth and the structure is convincing. And it can be generated quite easily at a very large scale. 73 It no longer reliably signals the labor of thought. This is a critical shift. The issue here isn’t just that machines can write, but that writing itself starts to feel disconnected from the human struggle that gives it substance and worth. Now, if writing loses some of its old authority, we may begin looking elsewhere for signs of genuine thought, such as human speech. 74 It can be challenged, and in that challenge it can be subject to interrogation (质询). If these qualities begin to matter more, authority may begin moving away from the written record and back toward live performance, toward what can be spoken and defended in the moment. That would be a cultural change, it would be a cultural one. But we need to point out the danger as well. Presence isn’t truth. 75 The return of speech wouldn’t solve the problem but relocate it. Still, the movement itself tells us something important — it suggests that writing — from term paper to court brief — no longer feels like enough. A．It comes from somewhere and it belongs to someone. B．More and more contemporary writing feels oddly empty. C．It reflects effort and the difficult mechanics of human thought. D．And a charming speaker can mislead us just as easily as LLM. E．In this context, writing begins to lose what made it feel substantial. F．Writing will weaken memory by moving knowledge outside the mind. G．A speech carries a presence that is harder to produce in the same way. （2026·西藏昌都·二模）As smart cockpits (智能座舱) have become a key competition area for car companies, the automotive industry is quickly turning to AI-driven smart experiences. Car makers are trying their best to improve in-car intelligence to meet users’ rising demand for personal and comfortable travel. Chinese car company XPeng has worked with glass maker Fuyao Group to develop AI dimming glass. This special glass lets passengers see outside clearly in dark conditions, while people outside cannot look in. It also works with the car’s system to change itself according to light, driving direction and inside situations. WEY, another Chinese brand, has put a native AI helper in its smart cockpit. The AI remembers users’ daily habits and serves detailed needs. For example, it can find if the driver is tired and give warnings, and stay quiet when people are making phone calls. Traditional car companies are also joining in. FAW-Volkswagen’s new model can understand different Chinese dialects (方言) and give smart answers. When the driver says “It’s hot inside,” the system can open the window or change the air conditioning. Market research shows smart experience has become an important factor when people buy cars, especially for buyers aged 25 to 35. More and more car buyers care about in-car feelings, not just models, prices or cost of energy. Experts say the “experience economy” is growing fast. AI is making cars more intelligent, and deeply improving people’s driving and riding experience. 76．What is special about XPeng’s AI dimming glass? A．It produces clean energy for the car. B．It protects passengers’ privacy well. C．It can clean itself automatically. D．It reduces driving risk greatly. 77．What can WEY’s AI agent do for drivers? A．Help find the way in real time. B．Offer free online music service. C．Notice tired driving and remind drivers. D．Control traffic lights around the car. 78．What can we infer from the text? A．Young buyers care much about smart cockpits. B．Traditional cars refuse to use AI technology. C．Smart cockpits have replaced car engines. D．All dialects can be fully understood by cars. 79．What is the main idea of the text? A．AI technology is widely used in car production. B．Smart cockpits lead a new trend of car experiences. C．Car companies compete in making new car models. D．Experience economy is developing across China. 真题·阅读演练 （2026·全国二卷·高考真题）Ways to Teach Kids Work Ethic Early Ever watched your child try to get out of doing housework by making excuses? If only the effort they put into avoiding responsibility could be redirected into, well, actual responsibility. In fact, building work ethic (道德) in kids doesn’t require military-style drills. Here are four simple and practical ways. ● Make housework part of the family routine. Involve your child in the daily running of the house: tidying toys, feeding the dog, watering the plants. 80 When the tasks become as routine as brushing teeth, kids internalise that helping with housework is simply part of life. ● 81 You can’t expect your child to tackle their tasks with enthusiasm while you’re complaining about loading the dishwasher. If your child sees you enjoying your work and taking pride in a job well done, they’re far more likely to do the same. ● Build determination through goals. 82 Sometimes you have to help them find their “thing.” Set small, achievable goals together with them and celebrate progress, not perfection. The trick is to let them struggle a bit — resist the urge to help fix things the moment they experience a setback. ● Treat mistakes as opportunities. Few things strike fear into a child’s heart like the prospect of failing. The best way is to normalise mistakes as a natural part of learning. When kids mess up, don’t jump in with a rescue mission. 83 Teaching kids work ethic is to gently and consistently push them toward responsibility, determination, and pride in their efforts. 84 No worry. Those habits you’re building now are setting your child up for a lifetime of resilience (韧性) and satisfaction. A．The key is consistency. B．Help kids develop analytical skills. C．Model the work ethic you want to see. D．Instead, encourage them to do differently next time. E．Sometimes, a cleaner living room is the best reward. F．Progress can be slow, and you’ll wonder if it’s all sinking in. G．Not every child is born with the willpower of a marathon runner. （2026·全国二卷·高考真题）The peak of Mount Qomolangma, 8,849 meters above sea level. Chimborazo, 6,263 m; Mont Blanc, 4,806 m; Pradidali hut, at the foot of the Pala group in the Dolomites, 2,278 m. It is common practice to provide the elevation (高度) of a place. Simple readings are now readily available on our phones and wearables. But elevation is necessarily relative: only the choice of a reference point allows us to express numerically the height of an object or a location. The idea of sea level as a reference point for elevations has by now been around for so long as to go essentially unnoticed-we mention it without even considering what it means. That the concept has a history is easily ignored. We tend to forget that sea level is a product of technically and culturally determined assumptions. In this book, I tell a story of these assumptions. Appropriately, the book took shape during a summer spent between sea and mountains. A month after visiting the French Riviera and enjoying the sandy beaches of Nice and Menton, I went hiking with friends in the Pala group. Resting on a pass near the Pradidali hut, we began discussing the readings offered by our altimeters (测高仪). Why did they vary ever so slightly from one instrument to the next? This sense of uncertainty led me to think about the meaning of zero. This is how I began my search for the conceptual history of sea level. In this book I examine three crucial stages in the history of mean sea level. These stages mirror the development of human conceptions of the sea. Since I began thinking about this project in August 2011, the issue of sea-level rise and the need to place it historically have only become more urgent: between then and the end of 2022 the global sea rose by almost 5 centimeters, about half of the overall rise recorded by satellites since 1993. 85．What does the author point out at the beginning of the text? A．Some mountains are getting higher. B．Data on wearables are misleading. C．The concept of elevation is relative. D．The reference point is hard to locate. 86．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How the altimeter was invented. B．What initiated the author’s research. C．Why the digital readings varied. D．Where the author spent his holiday. 87．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the last paragraph? A．The book. B．The project. C．The issue. D．The development. 88．What can be the title of the book mentioned in the text? A．The Altimeter: A Must-Have B．Sea Level: A History C．Meaning of Zero: Nothing or Everything D．Mountains to Seas: Ups and Downs （2026·全国二卷·高考真题）Roland Reisley turned 101 years old in May and is in remarkable health. But that’s not the thing he prides himself on. “I am the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright, still living in the home he designed for me,” Reisley said, sitting in the bright open living room of the home designed by the famous architect. The house where Reisley has lived for 73 years is located in the woods of Westchester County, New York, just 30 miles north of Manhattan. It’s one of 47 that make up the peaceful mid-20th-century modern village of Usonia. Back in 1951, Reisley was just 26, newly married and ready to put down roots. He and his wife began looking for a place in Manhattan. But what they liked, they couldn’t afford on his sound engineer’s salary and what they could, they didn’t like. Then they heard about Usonia. On their first trip out, they were greeted with such enthusiasm from the 10 families who’d already established homes there that they decided to join. The house has signature Wright features. It is made with local materials, has a flat roof, wood paneling, concrete floors and custom-made furniture. Over the decades, Reisley has opened his doors to visitors. The house is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Reisley said he’s tried his best to be a good steward (管家) not just of the Wright creation he lives in, but all others as well. He co-founded the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, an organization engaged in the preservation of all of Wright’s remaining buildings. Reisley believes that his devotion to the home and the community are what have kept him in such good health all of these years. 89．How does Reisley feel about having Wright as his house designer? A．Honored. B．Amused. C．Stressed. D．Inspired. 90．What made Reisley finally decide to settle down in Usonia? A．Its natural environment. B．Its large-sized houses. C．The convenience of its location. D．The warmth of its residents. 91．What can we learn about Reisley’s house? A．It is older than its owner. B．It uses local materials. C．It has a pointed roof. D．It is put up for sale. 92．What can be inferred about Reisley from the last paragraph? A．He is very attached to Wright buildings. B．He is devoted to health education. C．He is an expert in home decoration. D．He is passionate about tourism. （2026·全国二卷·高考真题）The Barcelona subway pulls into the station, the doors slide open and passengers pour out to go about their daily business. Little do they know that as they do so, a burst of energy is sent up to street level to help charge an electric car. Barcelona has put together a package of clean energy technologies to help public transportation go greener, while also doing its part to tackle climate change and aid Europe’s difficult shift to the privately owned electric vehicle market. Sixteen stations of Barcelona’s subway system are part of its new MetroCharge project, whereby the energy from the underground trains’ brakes (刹车) is used to power the trains and the stations themselves, while the remainder is sent snaking through cables (电缆) to the surface to power plug-in stations for privately owned vehicles. Bernardo Espinoza, an engineer who takes the subway every day, owns an electric car. “I am pleasantly surprised, because I am always looking for where to plug it in,” Espinoza said before catching the subway in a working-class area of southern Barcelona. “And if it is from energy from the trains’ brakes, then even better.” Regenerative brakes have been in trains for decades and are also used in some cars. They consist of an electric motor which collects energy used in the braking action that would be lost as heat by conventional brakes. That energy can be immediately used to accelerate (加速) the vehicle or, in the case of the Barcelona subway system, sent along cables to supply electricity for the station or for electric car chargers. Alvaro Luna, a professor of electrical engineering, said that the system is innovative in so far as it allows for recycled energy to be redirected to specific local uses — in this case powering electric cars parked nearby. That, he said, boosts efficiency. 93．Why does Barcelona launch the MetroCharge project? A．To fuel the city’s economy. B．To enhance passengers’ experience. C．To promote green transportation. D．To raise the quality of electric cars. 94．What is Espinoza’s concern? A．How to cut his travel expenses. B．Where to get a parking space. C．How to avoid rush-hour traffic. D．Where to find a charging point. 95．What aspect of regenerative brakes is discussed in paragraph 5? A．Their operating conditions. B．Their conventional standard. C．Their potential risks. D．Their working mechanism. 96．What did Luna say about the system? A．It uses reclaimed energy creatively. B．It improves workers’ efficiency. C．It prioritizes the safety of trains. D．It generates jobs for the locals. （2026·浙江·高考真题）During your initial reading of material, do you ever go back and reread sentences or paragraphs? Is it because the material is too difficult to comprehend on the first reading or because you are asleep? 97 You are napping (打盹) or daydreaming. Halfway down the page you realize that you have no idea what you have read. 98 Thus, you go back and reread, not because you did not understand, but because you were not paying attention. This type of rereading is called regression. Napping and daydreaming are habits caused by lack of involvement with the material. Be demanding on yourself and expect 100 percent attention to the task. Engage your mind. Visualize the incoming ideas, and relate the new material to what you already know. 99 If your mind is truly occupied with the text, you will not be able to think about Friday night or where to go on Saturday. Regression is a crutch (拐杖) that allows you to make up for wasted time. First of all, become aware of when and why you are regressing. 100 Say, “OK. I missed that paragraph because I was thinking of something else, but I’m going to keep on going and start paying close attention.” 101 Good readers who monitor their own comprehension use it in the reading process. However, regressing because your mind was asleep is a waste of time. A．Both are to blame. B．Probably the latter is true. C．Don’t just read the words; think the ideas. D．Spend a few minutes reading the material aloud. E．Your eyes were engaged, but your mind was not. F．Then, start denying yourself the right in order to break the habit. G．Rereading because you did not understand is a reasonable fix-up strategy. （2026·浙江·高考真题）Carbon removal is crucial for fighting climate change. Scientists at Salk Institute are making use of the natural capacity of plants to absorb carbon dioxide by enhancing their root systems. This optimization (优化) aims to increase the amount of carbon stored and extend the duration of its storage. To design these climate-saving plants, the scientists are using a research tool called SLEAP — an AI software that tracks multiple features of root growth. Created by Salk Fellow Talmo Pereira, SLEAP was initially designed to track animal movement in the lab. Now, Pereira has teamed up with plant scientist Professor Wolfgang Busch to apply SLEAP to plants. In a study published in Plant Phenomics, Busch and Pereira establish a new procedure for using SLEAP to analyze plant root phenotypes — how deep and wide they grow, how massive their root systems become, and other physical qualities. Prior to SLEAP, tracking the physical characteristics of both plants and animals required a lot of labor that slowed the scientific process. SLEAP uses computer vision (the ability for computers to understand images) and deep learning (an AI approach for training a computer to learn and work like the human brain) to help researchers process images much more quickly. The application of SLEAP to plants has already enabled researchers to establish the most extensive catalog (目录) of plant root phenotypes to date. What’s more, tracking these physical root system characteristics helps scientists find genes (基因) associated with those characteristics, as well as whether multiple root characteristics are determined by the same genes or independently. This allows the Salk team to determine what genes are most beneficial to their plant designs. “Our cooperation is truly proof of what makes Salk science so special and impactful,” says Pereira. “We’re not just ‘borrowing’ from different disciplines — we’re really putting them on equal footing in order to create something greater than the sum of its parts.” 102．What do the scientists at Salk Institute hope to achieve? A．Keeping more carbon in plants. B．Optimizing the use of energy. C．Enhancing biological diversity. D．Reducing carbon absorption. 103．Why did Pereira create SLEAP? A．To generate plant images. B．To conduct research on animals. C．To study climate patterns. D．To track features of root growth. 104．What will SLEAP help the scientists do? A．Pick out diseased plants in the forest.

Often students come to the classroom believing that learning can’t be fun and that what they learn isn’t relevant to the real world — much less to their personal interests. I’ve discovered that if I show students how what they learn is relevant to my hobbies, they’re much more willing to make connections to their personal interests and develop their own hobbies. No matter what subject I’m teaching, I find ways to bring my hobbies into the classroom. For example, I’m a car enthusiast, so when I teach physics, I contextualize concepts with my knowledge about cars. If we’re covering friction, for example, I bring different tires (轮胎) into my classroom so that my students can conduct lab experiments with them to see how friction works in real-life applications. When I first brought my hobbies to my classroom, I was focused on how doing so would build engagement and help my students understand concepts in science. But I quickly learned that the practice also helped me build stronger relationships with them. When I let them see an aspect of my life outside of school, some students who were also interested in cars connected with me more and became more engaged in my courses. Even those who didn’t share that interest with me seemed more engaged once I showed a different side of myself. What started as an experiment is now more of a philosophy. Even when I’m planning classes, I tend to think about how I can bring in my hobbies. I find that doing so energizes my instruction, engages my students, and demonstrates to them how abstract concepts play out in the real world. Best of all, my passion for my hobbies seems to inspire them to be passionate about finding their own. 109．What poses a challenge to teachers according to the author? A．Students’ misunderstandings about teachers. B．Students’ false assumptions about learning. C．The irrelevance of textbooks to students’ life. D．The gap between teachers’ and students’ hobbies. 110．Why does the author bring tires into the classroom? A．To teach an engineering skill. B．To explain the structure of a car. C．To share a real-life experience. D．To illustrate a scientific concept. 111．What was the unexpected outcome of the author’s teaching method? A．A higher class attendance rate. B．Better examination results. C．A closer teacher-student bond. D．More spare time for students. 112．Which of the following best describes the author as a teacher? A．Innovative. B．Humorous. C．Decisive. D．Sympathetic. （2026·浙江·高考真题）Human beings have always loved reviews: word of mouth has long been regarded as one of the most valuable marketing tools available to a company. Consumers enjoy reading and giving reviews. However, the problem is that a lot of the reviews are fake (假的). Shabnam Azimi and Alexander Krasnikov of Loyola University of Chicago and Kwong Chan of Northeastern University recently published a study on fake reviews. The study used a data set of 1,600 reviews of Chicago hotels. Some of them were real; others were fake. The reviews were presented to 400 subjects. Each subject got eight reviews to read: a balanced set of two positive fake, two positive real, two negative fake and two negative real, presented in a random order. The reviews were written by real people who were given information about the hotel. The results show that consumers generally trust negative reviews more than positive ones. Moreover, we humans tend to assume that positive reviews might be fake. “Overall, negative reviews are less common. So, we pay more attention to them. When a negative review is fake, we get tricked,” Azimi says. When it came to faking a review, length was important to believability, as was detail. A long, negative review of a hotel, complete with lots of information, tended to convince participants. A lengthy, positive review, on the other hand, was regarded as suspicious, and participants tended to trust writers that kept their glowing reviews short. Emotion was also important in convincing readers — or the lack of emotion, at least. Azimi says study participants tended not to trust reviews where the writers expressed their feelings in a big way. The more dispassionate that negative write-up, the more likely it was to take the reader in. The fake reviews written for Azimi’s study were put together by humans, but increasingly, fake reviews are being written by AI, which makes them look more real. Though many companies use algorithms (算法) to weed out fake reviews, Azimi points out that the machines are programmed by humans, and given our limited ability to spot fake reviews, this isn’t a good sign. 113．Which aspect of the study does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．Its design. B．Its findings. C．Its purposes. D．Its significance. 114．What does the underlined word “glowing” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Funny. B．Abusive. C．Insightful. D．Praising. 115．What kind of review would readers most likely trust? A．A long, positive one. B．An unemotional, negative one. C．A short, negative one. D．An enthusiastic, positive one. 116．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．Many companies are producing fake reviews. B．Writing fake reviews will be declared illegal. C．Machines can detect fake reviews accurately. D．It will be harder to recognize fake reviews. （2025·上海·高考真题）How to Save Outdoor Recess (课间休息)    As the first and last weeks of school keep getting hotter in some places in the US, recess might be moved indoors day after day. Recess can improve grades and is where children learn how to problem-solve and cooperate. 117     Shade can make a person feel much cooler. In the next few years, schools’ ability to install structures that provide artificial shade could determine whether recess survives June, August, and September. 118     In Cheston, on average, the city’s primary-school playgrounds are almost entirely exposed to direct sunlight. Some schools have no shade at all. In California, 91 percent of the average schoolyard has zero tree cover.     Shade structures can take just days to put up, but installing shade can cost thousands, even tens of thousands, of dollars. Public schools and nonprofits can apply to the American Academy of Dermatology (皮肤病学) for up to $8,000 in funding for shade structures, which won’t cover the full cost of many projects. 119     This is largely due to the fact that most government programs intended to help schools adapt to climate change right now focus on energy efficiency, or cover the cost of planning, but do not fund the actual changes to buildings. Unless more resources emerge to support shade construction, in many parts of the country, school districts will spend the first two weeks — even up to a month — with indoor recess.     If children do spend recess indoors, they’ll probably stay in the classroom, doing things like watching movies. Some teachers will use the additional classroom time to pack in more instruction, while others may put on dance videos that help children burn off energy. 120   They run freely and chase each other on the playground, playing games and making friends. Those moments may endure in their memory. A．After measuring shade in schoolyards, researchers have found that most have next to none. B．But those things can’t replace the type of unstructured play that children need as they grow. C．Financing these projects improves the quality of outdoor recess. D．Still, these funds are one of the few outside sources of financing these projects. E．The development of such an ability requires support from all levels. F．The quickest way to keep playgrounds open through extreme heat is to get them out of direct sunlight. 20 / 20网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读词汇 → 【 读文眼·高频】（专项训练） 目 录 基础·阅读演练 1 拔高·阅读演练 20 真题·阅读演练 40 基础·阅读演练 （2026·广东深圳·模拟预测）Painting Competitions There are loads of different competitions out there, from world-renowned painting contests to inspiring digital art challenges.

And that friend is a robot called AV1. AV1 goes to school for a child who is homebound while recovering from a long-term illness. And the child’s school friends must help. They carry the robot between classes and place the robot on the child’s desk. A Norwegian company called No Isolation created the robot. The co-founders of No Isolation are Karen Dolva and Marius Aabel. Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child. “So, it sits at the child’s desk in the classroom and the child uses a tablet or a phone to start it, control its movement with touch, and talk through it.” The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering. The robot is equipped with speakers, microphones and cameras that make communicating easy. “It has speakers and microphones and cameras, and when the child speaks at home or in the hospital to his iPad it just comes out.” This smooth interaction helps the child keep up with lessons, join group discussions freely and even share small joys with peers in class. It well narrows the distance between their recovery place and school, letting them stay closely linked to campus life instead of being left out alone. The robot is designed to be tough. It is water proof and can take a fall from a desk without damage. Inside AV1, there is a small computer connected to 5G network. A small camera connected to a small computer could do the job. But that would not be the same. AV1 is large and looks like a human for a reason. Dolva says this is important because the robot is supposed to be a friend to the children. Hopefully AV1 will help some children feel less lonely while they are absent from class. 7．What can we know about AV1 in Para.2? A．Its function. B．Its prospect. C．Its developing history. D．Its production material. 8．What do the underlined words “partake in” in Para. 3 probably mean? A．make up for B．replace C．take part in D．design 9．What’s the advantage of the smooth interaction for the student? A．It makes the student forget the pain of recovery. B．It helps the student keep connected with campus life. C．It lets the student have more time to rest at home. D．It allows the student to make more new friends. 10．Why is AV1 designed to be human-like? A．To hold more advanced computer parts. B．To offer kids support and companionship. C．To make it tough enough against falls. D．To attract more attention in the classroom. 11．What is the best title for the text? A．The Development of Smart Robots. B．5G Network: A Trend in Education. C．How to Cure Long-term Illnesses. D．AV1: A Bridge to School Life. 【答案】7．A 8．C 9．B 10．B 11．D 【导语】主要介绍AV1机器人的工作原理、功能优势、设计特点，它能帮助长期养病的孩子远程融入校园生活、减少孤独感。 【详解】7．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Dolva explains how the robot AV1 works. She says from home, the child uses a tablet or phone to start the robot. Then he uses the same device to control the robot’s movements. At school, the robot becomes the eyes, ears and voice of the child.(多尔瓦解释了AV1机器人如何工作。她说孩子在家可以用平板或手机启动机器人，再用同一设备操控它的行动，在学校里机器人就成了孩子的眼睛、耳朵和声音。)”可知，第二段主要讲解AV1机器人的工作方式与功用。 8．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The student can partake in classroom activities from wherever he is recovering.

A proposal for “smart signs” has floated recently with the goal of signaling a car’s receiver of what the road sign means. The driver can receive the information through a display on their car’s dashboard or through voice alert. This solution will not be affected by the weather or lighting which can increase one’s safety while driving.Immediate Car Crash Detection Although there are car accidents that result in minor injuries, the result of a crash can often be life-altering. This is where having vehicle communication technology can help. This system will be able to send out a notification of the crash to the nearest emergency response unit to get immediate help. It can also inform other drivers that a car crash has occurred so they can take appropriate measures to avoid adding to the collision (碰撞).Safety Technology for Intersections Crossing an intersection can be tricky as you will never know if other vehicles will be approaching until it is too late. This particular tech can combine sensors as well as cameras to determine if there is incoming traffic or a pedestrian even. It is also possible to use this technology to adjust the light timers to help with the incoming flow of traffic in the intersection.Traffic Violation Detection and Notification Another technology innovation that may help roads become safer is the automatic transmission of information when a violation has occurred. The combination of camera monitoring as well as sensors can help determine if a driver disobeyed any traffic rules and will notify them immediately. The automatic notification will be recorded into the vehicle’s black box, which prevents the driver from making excuses. 18．What is an advantage of the Smarter Traffic Signages system?

The new approach could help ease global water shortages, especially in dry regions where clean water is hard to obtain. Scientists have long explored atmospheric water harvesting, a method that collects water directly from the air, even in desert environments. The idea is promising because air contains water vapour almost everywhere. Traditional systems, however, usually depend on solar heat to release the water held by a special absorbent material. As team leader Boriskina explained, materials that are effective at capturing water are often reluctant to release it. As a result, the process can take hours, making it difficult to respond to urgent needs in water-scarce areas. To solve this problem, Boriskina brought in Ikra Shuvo, an MIT graduate student whose research focuses on ultrasound technology for wearable medical devices. Boriskina believed that combining Shuvo’s knowledge of ultrasound with the team’s experience in water-harvesting materials might lead to a faster and more practical way of recovering water. Ultrasound consists of high-frequency sound waves that can create tiny vibrations (震动) in a substance. Based on this principle, the team proposed a simple solution: use ultrasound to break the weak bonds between the captured water molecules and the material. Once those bonds are loosened, the water quickly separates and falls out as droplets. Compared with heat-based methods, this process is much faster and wastes less energy. The researchers then built an ultrasonic water-harvesting device. The system does not rely on heat, though it does require an external power source. A solar cell can power the device and also serve as a sensor, signalling when the absorbent material has reached capacity. The system is programmed to switch on automatically when enough water has been captured. Compared with heat-based methods, it is 45 times more energy-efficient, works without direct sunlight, and can operate repeatedly throughout the day to produce more water. These advantages make it suitable for remote dry regions, where it could provide a steady supply of clean water and offer a greener alternative to energy-intensive methods such as seawater desalination (脱盐). More broadly, this work highlights the value of combining ultrasound technology, materials science, and environmental engineering. Such cross-disciplinary cooperation may open up new ways to solve water shortages in some of the world’s driest regions. Ultimately, this breakthrough could one day bring clean water to millions living in arid regions. 21．What can we learn about traditional water harvesting methods according to Boriskina? A．They use waterproof materials. B．They require complex facilities. C．They are difficult to manufacture. D．They have low efficiency in water output. 22．What can be learned about Shuvo from Paragraph 3? A．He took over the project from Boriskina. B．He developed a new water-harvesting material. C．His professional knowledge led to a breakthrough in the research. D．His solid background in environmental engineering made a difference. 23．The team developed the solution by taking advantage of . A．the improved strength of materials B．ultrasound’s medical applications C．ultrasound’s physical properties D．the rapid release of water 24．The new device is suitable for remote dry regions partly because it can . A．work without direct sunlight B．store rainwater for dry seasons C．operate without external power D．produce fresh water from seawater 25．What mainly accounts for the team’s technological breakthrough? A．Pressing water demand. B．Interschool academic exchanges. C．Boriskina’s exceptional leadership. D．Integration of multiple scientific fields. 【答案】21．D 22．C 23．C 24．A 25．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了麻省理工学院的工程师们开发了一种创新的超声波系统，能在几分钟内从大气集水器中提取水分，有望缓解全球水资源短缺问题，尤其适合偏远干旱地区。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As team leader Boriskina explained, materials that are effective at capturing water are often reluctant to release it. As a result, the process can take hours, making it difficult to respond to urgent needs in water-scarce areas. (正如团队负责人Boriskina所解释的，善于吸水的材料往往不愿意释放水分。因此，这个过程可能需要数小时，难以满足缺水地区的紧急需求。)”可知，Boriskina认为传统方法由于材料吸水易但放水难，导致取水过程耗时很长，效率低下。 22．推理判断题。根据第三段“To solve this problem, Boriskina brought in Ikra Shuvo, an MIT graduate student whose research focuses on ultrasound technology for wearable medical devices. Boriskina believed that combining Shuvo’s knowledge of ultrasound with the team’s experience in water-harvesting materials might lead to a faster and more practical way of recovering water. (为了解决这个问题，Boriskina请来了Ikra Shuvo，一位MIT研究生，其研究专注于用于可穿戴医疗设备的超声技术。Boriskina认为，将Shuvo的超声知识与团队在集水材料方面的经验相结合，可能会带来更快、更实用的取水方式。)”可知，正是Shuvo在超声波领域的专业知识促成了研究的突破。 23．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Ultrasound consists of high-frequency sound waves that can create tiny vibrations (震动) in a substance.

The research, published in People and Nature, found that teenagers often encounter nature through their time online, which influences their perceptions and behaviors when visiting the countryside. These digital baselines provide educators, policymakers and outdoor leaders with a unique starting point for building deeper connections with nature. Dr. Jack Reed, from the University of Exeter, who led the study, said, “Young people are not separating their online and offline worlds the way previous generations might have. Their experiences of nature can begin online, and this influences how they engage with the outdoors in person. Rather than resisting this change, we can adopt it and use it as a tool to inspire stronger connections with the natural world.” The study emphasizes that “screen based nature” content, from outdoor challenges to virtual environments, is shaping how young people come to know nature. Social media platforms offer round-the-clock access to natural imagery and ideas, inspiring trends like nature-inspired art and outdoor adventures. While these digital interactions lack the sensory richness of being outdoors, they present exciting opportunities to introduce young people to real-life experiences in nature. Dr. Reed said, “It’s clear that young people are learning about nature in new and innovative ways. By recognizing and building on this, we can create educational programs that meet them where they are at and inspire real-world exploration. This approach allows us to connect young people’s online inspirations to the practical benefits of being outdoors.” “There’s no value in trying to deny young people’s use of technology — it’s part of their world,” Dr. Reed said. “Instead, we can celebrate and channel their digital experiences to build meaningful, real-world connections to nature.” 26．What does the underlined part “this change” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Young people’s engaging with social media platforms. B．Young people’s beginning exploring the natural world. C．Young people’s separating their online and offline worlds. D．Young people’s integrating their online and offline worlds. 27．Which of the following is mentioned as a positive effect of “screen-based nature” content? A．It motivates real-world interests. B．It provides a sensory-rich experience. C．It avoids dangerous outdoor adventures. D．It reduces the need for experiences in nature. 28．How does Dr. Reed view young people’s use of social media platforms? A．It’s useless. B．It’s necessary. C．It’s fashionable. D．It’s unbelievable. 29．What does Dr. Reed emphasize about educating young people? A．Limiting technology use to prioritize outdoor activities. B．Replacing digital experiences with traditional education. C．Using online experiences to inspire real-world exploration. D．Encouraging young people to get more digital experiences. 【答案】26．D 27．A 28．B 29．C 【导语】文章主要讨论了社交媒体不是自然教育的敌人，而是连接年轻人与真实自然世界的桥梁。 【详解】26．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Young people are not separating their online and offline worlds the way previous generations might have. Their experiences of nature can begin online, and this influences how they engage with the outdoors in person. Rather than resisting this change...( 年轻人不像前几代人那样把网络生活和现实生活割裂开来。他们对自然的认知体验可以从线上开始，而这又会影响他们线下亲身接触户外自然的方式。与其抗拒这种变化……)”可知，我们不必抗拒年轻人融合线上线下生活这种变化，由此可知，this change指代“年轻人融合线上线下生活”。 27．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“While these digital interactions lack the sensory richness of being outdoors, they present exciting opportunities to introduce young people to real-life experiences in nature.(虽然这类线上自然内容缺少户外实景丰富的感官体验，但它为引导年轻人参与现实中的自然体验提供了绝佳机会。)”可知，屏幕类自然内容的积极作用是激发现实自然兴趣。 28．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There’s no value in trying to deny young people’s use of technology — it’s part of their world.(试图否定年轻人使用科技是毫无意义的——科技本就是他们生活的一部分。)”可知，Reed博士认为年轻人使用社交媒体是生活常态、有其必要性。 29．推理判断题。根据第五段“By recognizing and building on this, we can create educational programs that meet them where they are at and inspire real-world exploration. This approach allows us to connect young people’s online inspirations to the practical benefits of being outdoors.(通过认可并依托这一点，我们可以打造贴合年轻人现状的教育项目，激发他们走进现实、探索自然。这种方式能把年轻人从线上获得的兴趣启发，和置身户外带来的实际益处结合起来。)”可知，Reed博士强调要借线上经历启发现实现实世界探索。 （2026·广西桂林·三模）The world’s 4 largest sea protected areas Coral Sea The Coral Sea is off the northeast coast of Australia and it includes the Great Barrier Reef.

I knew it before I heard “we’ll be in touch” from the client. I wouldn’t look my boss in the eye and the rest of my day was spent in relative silence. Finally, I left my office and walked home. Around the building near my home, I found some kids were noisily shooting water at each other using water guns. I was annoyed, thinking, “Don’t wet me!” When seeing me in my suit and my mean look, they stopped the water fight and got quiet. Then I noticed a five-year-old kid with a water gun eyeing me a little harder than the others. I eyed him back. Then his brother nodded to him like he was saying, “I dare you.” My eyes tightened a little further as I communicated my own “I dare you” to the five-year-old kid. Then he darted (瞥) a look at me, planning his escape route through the alley, and immediately I knew I was going to get wet. And he got me before he ran toward his exit. Right away I headed toward the alley to preclude his escape. But as I took my first step, his brother, the instigator (唆使者), threw me one of his water guns. I caught it and without much thinking, I shot water at him. He shot back but his shooter was no match for mine. So he turned his water gun on a few other little kids after that. Then, somehow I also turned my water gun on these kids and before long we were in an all-out water fight. Soon, there were water balloons dropping from upstairs windows and the whole block seemed to be involved — adults and kids. Needless to say, I was totally wet and laughing like I had never laughed before. It was the five-year-old kid who brought out the kid in me and helped me realize that you may not be able to control your disappointment but you can still let the joy in. 38．Why did the author spend the rest of his day in relative silence? (no more than 10 words) 39．How did the brother respond to the 5-year-old kid’s intention? (no more than 10 words) 40．What does the underlined mean in paragraph 4?

(no more than 20 words) 【答案】38．Because he was upset about his poor performance in work. 39．He encouraged his younger brother by nodding to him. 40．Prevent/Stop. 41．Being involved in the water fight. 42．I should avoid being too troubled by unfortunate things that have happened and try to get joy from simple things.（答案不唯一） 【导语】文章讲述作者工作汇报失利后心情低落，一场水枪大战治愈了他，让他懂得接纳失落、拥抱快乐。 【详解】38．考查细节理解。根据第一段“My presentation was horrible. I knew it before I heard “we’ll be in touch” from the client. I wouldn’t look my boss in the eye and the rest of my day was spent in relative silence.(我的汇报糟糕透顶。在听到客户说出“我们后续再联系”之前我就察觉到了。我不敢直视老板，当天剩余的时间我都在相对沉默中度过)”可知，作者汇报失败心情低落，所以整日沉默。 39．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Then his brother nodded to him like he was saying, “I dare you.”(随后他的哥哥朝他点了点头，仿佛在说“我谅你不敢”)”可知，哥哥通过点头鼓励弟弟朝作者喷水。 40．考查词句猜测。根据第三段中“Then he darted (瞥) a look at me, planning his escape route through the alley, and immediately I knew I was going to get wet.(然后他瞥了我一眼，规划着从小巷逃走的路线，我立刻明白我要被水泼到了)”可知，小男孩计划从小巷逃走，因此猜测作者走向小巷，是为了阻止他逃走，以免自己被泼水。由此猜测preclude意为“阻止”，意思与prevent/stop接近。 41．考查细节理解。根据第五段中“before long we were in an all-out water fight... Needless to say, I was totally wet and laughing like I had never laughed before.(不久之后我们展开了全面的水枪大战……不用说，我全身湿透，笑得前所未有地开怀)”可知，参与水枪大战让作者开怀大笑。 42．开放性问题。结合文章从小事情中获得快乐的主旨，答案符合逻辑即可，注意字数。例如可回答：I should avoid being too troubled by unfortunate things that have happened and try to get joy from simple things. （2026·天津·三模）What do social climbers and gossipers (爱说闲话的人) have in common? My mother believes that both are morally suspect, a lesson we readily pass on to our children: avoid the cheater and the whisperer. But stories simplify reality. The most effective social climbers and gossipers possess a remarkable grasp of social structure to navigate their social worlds. This skill isn’t a moral failing; it’s a cognitive (认知的) skill. Recent work from my laboratory shows that cognitive maps — mental representations of the social world — shape our critical social skills. Social success depends not just on whom you know but also on how well you understand the invisible architecture of your social world. Mapping this is no small task, as social networks are large and dynamic. Yet building such cognitive maps offers great advantages. To better understand social navigation, my collaborator and I developed studies to investigate how people build cognitive maps. Across a year we tracked about 200 freshmen’s friendships and asked them to report their understanding of others’ connections. In one study, we discovered that those who rise to the top of the social structure aren’t the most charming or outgoing — they’re the best social mapmakers. The most influential people quickly build mental maps of their peers’ connection; those initially influential but without accurate mental maps of the network did not stay influential for long. In a second paper, we examined whether mapmaking aids gossiping — a behavior that, despite its poor reputation, can be an efficient way to quickly learn about the ins and outs of the community. To understand how humans pull off this remarkable task, we wondered whether mapmaking helps predict where information will spread. Mental maps become quite useful in this case, as they reveal two key network features: someone’s popularity and their distance from the gossip target. They help find a good friend — someone far enough from the target yet well-connected to spread information. How does the brain build these maps? In one of our recent studies, we discovered that the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex — a neural (神经的) center known for navigating physical space — also carries a map of connections among people. The more strongly these maps are rooted in the brain, the better we are at brokering community ties. If the brain needs to quickly figure out where gossip might spread, knowing where the popular people are positioned or the key relationships that bridge the otherwise disconnected communities allows us to chart the sequence of ties that can efficiently cross the network. Strategic wayfinding isn’t only for physical space. It is just as necessary to be able to effectively move through our social landscapes. Armed with a deliberately unclear map of their social community, skilled social navigators can do what no GPS can. They see the bridges before they’re built, avoid the storms of gossip, and map out a course to common ground. 43．As for his mother’s belief, the author is ________. A．unconcerned B．supportive C．puzzled D．disapproving 44．What does the author suggest about the ability to navigate social worlds? A．It is a cognitive skill. B．It relies on being charming. C．It is primarily a moral issue. D．It requires physical fitness. 45．According to the passage, social cognitive maps can help ________. A．control the wide spread of gossip storms B．memorize others’ connections in social groups C．gain long-lasting social influence among peers D．choose well-connected people as gossip targets 46．What does the underlined word “brokering” in Paragraph 7 probably mean? A．Breaking. B．Experiencing. C．Managing. D．Recording. 47．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Navigating Our Social Worlds B．How to Interpret Social Skills C．What Lies Behind People’s Social Behaviors D．Brain Structures Shaping Social Relationships 【答案】43．D 44．A 45．C 46．C 47．A 【导语】主要反驳世俗对钻营者和闲话者的道德偏见，阐释社会认知地图对社交导航的重要作用与大脑运作机制。 【详解】43．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“My mother believes that both are morally suspect, a lesson we readily pass on to our children: avoid the cheater and the whisperer.(我的母亲认为这两类人在道德上都值得怀疑，我们轻易就把这个观念传给孩子：远离投机钻营者和搬弄是非之人。)”以及第二段中的“But stories simplify reality. The most effective social climbers and gossipers possess a remarkable grasp of social structure to navigate their social worlds. This skill isn’t a moral failing; it’s a cognitive (认知的) skill. (但是故事会简化现实。那些最擅长向上攀爬阶层、搬弄是非的人，对社会架构有着极强的把控能力，以此在社交圈子里周旋游走。这项能力并非道德缺陷，而是一种认知本领。)”可知，作者不认同母亲单纯从道德层面否定这两类人的观点，持不赞同态度。 44．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This skill isn’t a moral failing; it’s a cognitive skill.(这项能力并非道德缺陷，而是一种认知技能。)”可知，游走社交圈的能力本质上是一种认知能力。 45．细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The most influential people quickly build mental maps of their peers’ connection; those initially influential but without accurate mental maps of the network did not stay influential for long.(影响力最强的人能快速构建同伴社交关系的心智地图；那些起初有影响力，但没有精准社交网络心智地图的人，无法长久保持影响力。)”可知，社会认知地图能够帮助人在同龄人中长期保有社交影响力。 46．词句猜测题。根据第七段中的“The more strongly these maps are rooted in the brain, the better we are at brokering community ties. If the brain needs to quickly figure out where gossip might spread, knowing where the popular people are positioned or the key relationships that bridge the otherwise disconnected communities allows us to chart the sequence of ties that can efficiently cross the network.(这些社交图谱在大脑中扎根越深，我们就越擅长brokering社群联结。倘若大脑需要快速判断流言会往何处扩散，清楚核心人物所处位置，或是知晓能原本互不连通的社群衔接起来的关键人脉，我们就能梳理出人际链条次序，高效打通整张社交网络。)”可知，拥有精准的社会认知地图，人们能更好地处理、维系社群人际关系，因此画线单词“brokering”意为“管理、协调”，与Managing含义一致。 47．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“Strategic wayfinding isn’t only for physical space. It is just as necessary to be able to effectively move through our social landscapes. Armed with a deliberately unclear map of their social community, skilled social navigators can do what no GPS can.(策略性寻路不只适用于实体空间，高效穿梭社交图景同样不可或缺。手握社群心智地图，老练的社交导航者能做到导航设备无法实现的事。)”可知，文章围绕社交导航展开，介绍社交认知地图的作用、实验依据和大脑支撑机制，因此“游走我们的社交世界”最适合作为文章标题。 （2026·江苏宿迁·模拟预测）Books were stamped with “Human Authored” logos (标识) at this week’s London Book Fair. The Society of Authors described its labelling as “an important logo to protect and promote human creativity instead of AI labelled content in the marketplace”. Visitors to the fair were also given copies of Don’t Steal This Book， a collection of 10，000 writers including Nobel winner Kazuo Ishiguro and Richard Osman, in which the pages are completely blank. The back cover states: “The UK government must not legalize book theft to benefit AI companies.” The empty book is a protest against AI companies using copyrighted works without permission or payment to train their models and against UK government proposals that could legalize this practice. Organized by Ed Newton-Rex, a composer and copyright campaigner， the project has drawn vast support from the literary world. The AI industry is “built on stolen work”. “This is a crime that has victims,” he added, “Generative AI competes with the creators of the works it trains on, taking away their livelihoods.” The protest comes just a week before the UK government is due to publish an economic impact assessment of proposed changes to copyright law. The government initially proposed a system, under which AI firms could use copyrighted material unless rights holders refused permission – an exact opposite of copyright law’s core principle. Only 3% of people surveyed backed the plan. The government dropped it but is now considering a “commercial research exception” that would still allow AI companies to use works without approval for commercial training. For the authors behind Don’t Steal This Book, the blank pages are a powerful symbol: they represent the future of writing if AI companies continue to use creative work without payment - a world where authors are left with nothing. As the Society of Authors put it, the empty book is just a band-aid fix - but the real solution is a copyright system that protects human creativity, not commercial greed. 48．Why were the books stamped with “Human Authored” logos? A．To introduce promising authors. B．To promote newly-published works. C．To show public sympathy for authors. D．To fight AI stealing copyrighted works. 49．What does the underlined word “victims” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Human writers. B．Literary campaigners. C．Ordinary readers. D．Generative AI developers. 50．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The protest weakens UK’s economy. B．The UK government favors AI firms. C．Copyright law enjoys public support. D．AI firms prioritize commercial profits. 51．How does the Society of Authors view the empty book? A．It is a win-win deal. B．It is a game changer. C．It is a well-intentioned failure. D．It is a temporary measure. 【答案】48．D 49．A 50．B 51．D 【导语】本文围绕伦敦书展上作家群体的抗议活动展开。作家协会推出 “人类创作” 标识，上万名作家推出空白抗议书籍，抵制 AI 企业未经授权盗用受版权保护的作品训练模型；同时介绍英国政府版权法案的摇摆调整，作家群体认为空白书只是临时手段，完善版权体系才是根本办法。 【详解】48．细节理解题。根据第一段“The Society of Authors described its labelling as “an important logo to protect and promote human creativity instead of AI labelled content in the marketplace”.(作家协会将这种标识描述为“一种重要标识，用于保护和促进人类创造力，而非市场上人工智能标注的内容”)”以及第三段“The empty book is a protest against AI companies using copyrighted works without permission or payment to train their models...(这本空白书是对人工智能公司未经许可或未支付报酬就使用受版权保护的作品来训练其模型的抗议……)”可知，书籍盖上“人类创作”标识是为了抵制人工智能窃取受版权保护的作品。 49．词义猜测题。根据第三段“Organized by Ed Newton-Rex, a composer and copyright campaigner， the project has drawn vast support from the literary world. The AI industry is “built on stolen work”.(该项目由作曲家兼版权活动家埃德·牛顿 - 雷克斯组织，获得了文学界的广泛支持。人工智能行业是“建立在被盗用的作品之上”的)”以及后文“Generative AI competes with the creators of the works it trains on， taking away their livelihoods.(生成式人工智能与其所训练作品的创作者竞争，夺走了他们的生计)”可知，这里说的“受害者”指的是人类作家，因为人工智能公司的行为损害了他们的利益。 50．主旨大意题。根据第四段“The government initially proposed a system， under which AI firms could use copyrighted material unless rights holders refused permission – an exact opposite of copyright law’s core principle. Only 3% of people surveyed backed the plan. The government dropped it but is now considering a “commercial research exception” that would still allow AI companies to use works without approval for commercial training.(政府最初提议了一个系统，在这个系统下，除非版权所有者拒绝许可，人工智能公司可以使用受版权保护的材料——这与版权法的核心原则完全相反。只有3%的受访者支持该计划。政府放弃了该计划，但现在正在考虑一个“商业研究例外”，这仍将允许人工智能公司未经批准就使用作品进行商业训练)”可知，该段主要表明英国政府在版权问题上倾向于人工智能公司。 51．细节理解题。根据最后一段“As the Society of Authors put it， the empty book is just a band - aid fix - but the real solution is a copyright system that protects human creativity,  not commercial greed.(正如作家协会所说，这本空白书只是一个权宜之计——但真正的解决办法是建立一个保护人类创造力而非商业贪欲的版权制度)”可知，作家协会认为空白书是一种临时措施。 （2026·广东佛山·模拟预测）In January 2024, near Dominica, I encountered a sperm whale named Pinchy. As she sank into the deep, I realized that despite our shared mammalian need for air, we lived in entirely separate worlds. As a scientist studying whale communication, I wondered what whales might tell me if I could understand what she was saying? My research has learned that sperm whales have a remarkably sophisticated communication system — one that may even resemble a form of language. This discovery has been made possible thanks to the use of technology itself, especially artificial intelligence. This might seem contradictory. In our technology-driven civilization, doesn’t technology often make us more distant from the natural world? Yet what I’ve come to know is that technology and nature do not exist in a zero-sum relationship, where the rise of one side is the downfall of the other. Instead, these tools can give humans an opportunity to feel more connected to nature. This view took years to fully form. In recent work, when AI technologies began to predict words and form sentences on their own, my colleagues and I work with computer scientists to test if these models could analyze sperm whale codas (嗒嗒声). In a pilot study, AI successfully identified different coda types, whale family groups and even individual whales with over 90% accuracy. This gave rise to Project CETI, an initiative where 50 biologists, AI experts and linguists work together to decode whale communication. Our latest study shows that sperm whales produce sounds similar to human vowels. Later this year, we will release an AI system that can translate human audio into whale-like sounds — allowing humans, for the first time, to potentially experience what it might be like to interact with a whale in its own language. The potential is profound. Truly understanding whale ‌“language” would not only rewrite biology textbooks, but also fundamentally challenge our human-centered worldview. Just as Copernicus showed that Earth was not the center of the universe, we hope our work could mark a similar shift — a recognition that we are not the only beings with rich internal and communal lives. To me, this is the real potential promise of AI: not to make us faster or more efficient, but to make us wiser. 52．What can be inferred from the author’s discussion of technology and nature? A．As technology rises, nature falls． B．Technology separates humans from nature． C．Technology and nature are mutually beneficial． D．Technology leads to the destruction of nature． 53．What is the primary goal of Project CETI? A．To classify different whale species． B．To use AI to understand whale communication． C．To study the behavior of whales in the wild． D．To train whale to communicate with humans． 54．Why does the author mention Copernicus in paragraph 6? A．To highlight a cognitive shift through comparison． B．To criticize traditional views of human centrality． C．To show the project is as complex as astronomy． D．To stress the importance of scientific discoveries． 55．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．AI: A Double-edged Sword in Modern Science B．Whale Communication: The Discovery of “Vowels” C．Sperm Whales: The Intelligent Creatures in the Ocean D．Talking to Whales: AI Bridges the Gap Between Species 【答案】52．C 53．B 54．A 55．D 【导语】文章主要介绍了科学家利用人工智能技术研究和解码抹香鲸的交流系统，以促进人与鲸鱼之间的跨物种沟通。 【详解】52．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Yet what I’ve come to know is that technology and nature do not exist in a zero-sum relationship, where the rise of one side is the downfall of the other. Instead, these tools can give humans an opportunity to feel more connected to nature. (然而，我逐渐认识到，技术与自然并非此消彼长的零和关系。相反，这些工具可以让人类有机会感受到与自然更紧密的联系)”可知，技术可以帮助人类与自然建立更深的联系，二者互益。 53．细节理解题。根据第四段中“This gave rise to Project CETI, an initiative where 50 biologists, AI experts and linguists work together to decode whale communication. (这促成了CETI项目，这是一个由50名生物学家、人工智能专家和语言学家共同解码鲸鱼交流的倡议)”可知，CETI项目的主要目标是利用人工智能来理解鲸鱼的交流。 54．推理判断题。根据第六段中“Truly understanding whale “language” would not only rewrite biology textbooks, but also fundamentally challenge our human-centered worldview. Just as Copernicus showed that Earth was not the center of the universe, we hope our work could mark a similar shift (真正理解鲸鱼的“语言”不仅会重写生物学教科书，还会从根本上挑战我们以人类为中心的世界观。正如哥白尼表明地球不是宇宙的中心一样，我们希望我们的工作能标志着类似的转变)”可知，作者提到哥白尼是为了通过类比来强调一种认知上的转变——从以人类为中心到承认其他物种也具有丰富的内心和社群生活。 55．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第五段“Later this year, we will release an AI system that can translate human audio into whale-like sounds — allowing humans, for the first time, to potentially experience what it might be like to interact with a whale in its own language. (今年晚些时候，我们将发布一个AI系统，可以将人类音频翻译成类似鲸鱼的声音——让人类首次有可能体验用鲸鱼自己的语言与鲸鱼互动的感觉)”和第六段“To me, this is the real potential promise of AI: not to make us faster or more efficient, but to make us wiser. (对我来说，这才是人工智能真正的潜力：不是让我们更快或更高效，而是让我们更智慧)”可知，文章主要讲述了科学家利用人工智能技术研究抹香鲸的交流系统，希望能够实现人与鲸鱼之间的跨物种对话。故D项“Talking to Whales: AI Bridges the Gap Between Species (与鲸鱼对话：人工智能弥合物种间的鸿沟)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。 （2026·山东·模拟预测）Welcome to our 2026 International Summer Course, a program designed for global teenagers aged 15-18 to enhance academic skills and cross-cultural communication.

Repair was usually the only option. So when faced with a broken hoe (锄头) one summer, I let my brain do a little time-traveling and decided to make the repair, just like grandpa would have done. I dug through my old toolbox for the needed parts, sorting through a mix of nails, screws, and bolts. I have a strong love for the past and cherish the bonds connecting present and past generations. Finally, I chose my favorite hammer passed down from my dad, who received it from his dad. Grandpa’s hammer has a worn, ash handle, the grain smooth from 70 years of use and spotted with colorful paint. Grandpa used his hammer to make things — a kitchen table, a rocking chair and a doll house. Grandpa said it took two things to make dreams come true — faith and a hammer. My grandpa was quiet and reserved. but never humourless. Small, silly things would amuse him. He had his favorite expressions. He liked saying “It’s immaterial to me” even when “I don’t mind” would have been enough. Deep down, I think he was probably disappointed that he hadn’t achieved more in life. He left school without qualifications and became a carpenter — a job he wasn’t passionate about. He was never particularly ambitious, though there was a moment when he and my grandma planned to move to Canada, an idea that never came to fruition. Where he came into his own was around the house. He had an ‌“eye for the job”. Whether it was building a bookshelf or fixing a cupboard — what he could achieve was astonishing. Repairing the hoe meant digging through Grandpa’s dusty hardware. With just the right bolt in hand, I was ready to begin. As I finished the hoe repair and replaced the hammer, I said a hearty thanks to grandpa. I’m determined to pass it to the next generation — mentoring with purpose and weaving together the connecting cords. 59．Why did the author choose to repair the hoe? A．Repair was usually the only option. B．He wanted to carry on the family tradition. C．He wanted to test if the hammer still worked. D．The toolbox had the parts needed for the repair. 60．What is the writer’s attitude to his grandpa in paragraph 3? A．He sympathized with his grandpa’s behavior. B．He regretted his grandpa had not achieved more. C．He was annoyed by his grandpa’s choice of words. D．He was grateful his grandpa never moved to Canada. 61．What does the underlined phrase “came into his own” in paragraph 3 mean? A．He was able to show his real talents. B．He was able to do things on his own. C．He was able to forget his past failures. D．He was able to continue his regular job. 62．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To argue the value of old objects. B．To show how to repair old tools. C．To reflect on personal experiences. D．To share imagined family histories. 【答案】59．B 60．A 61．A 62．C 【导语】文章通过修理锄头、回忆祖父的锤子和人生，表达对家族传统的珍视及对祖父的理解与感恩。 【详解】59．推理判断题。根据第一段中‌“So when faced with a broken hoe (锄头) one summer, I let my brain do a little time-traveling and decided to make the repair, just like grandpa would have done. (所以当一个夏天面对一把坏锄头时，我让大脑进行了一次时光旅行，决定像爷爷那样去修理它)”和第二段中‌“I have a strong love for the past and cherish the bonds connecting present and past generations. (我深爱过去，珍惜连接现在和过去几代人的纽带)”可知，作者选择修理锄头是为了传承家族传统，像祖父一样生活。 60．推理判断题。根据第三段中‌“Deep down, I think he was probably disappointed that he hadn’t achieved more in life. He left school without qualifications and became a carpenter — a job he wasn’t passionate about. (在内心深处，我认为他可能对自己一生没有取得更多成就感到失望。他没有取得任何学历就离开了学校，成了一名木匠——一份他并不热爱的工作)”可知，作者对祖父未能实现更多抱有理解和同情，而非责备或遗憾。 61．词句猜测题。根据第三段中‌“Where he came into his own was around the house. He had an “eye for the job”. Whether it was building a bookshelf or fixing a cupboard — what he could achieve was astonishing. (他came into his own的地方是在家里。他有“干活的眼光”。无论是做书架还是修橱柜——他能做到的事令人惊叹)”可知，祖父在家里的修理和建造方面能够真正展现自己的才华，故came into his own意为‌“发挥出自己真正的才能”，与A项同义。 62．推理判断题。通读全文，作者以修理锄头为线索，回忆祖父的锤子、祖父的人生选择和手艺，最后表达‌“I’m determined to pass it to the next generation (我决心把它传给下一代)”。作者通过修理锄头这件小事，回忆了祖父的人生、性格和才能，并表达了对祖父的感激以及将传统传承下去的决心。由此可推知，这篇文章是对个人经历的反思。 （2026·北京朝阳·模拟预测）It had been a week since we moved to New York. On the way to a picnic at Yaddo Gardens, I complained, “New school, no friends, nothing to do. I hate it!” Mom and Dad exchanged glances, sighing, as the silent car wound into the shady path. “We’re here!” my dad said, attempting enthusiasm. We laid out the blanket, looking at the gardens that were just starting to bloom. A number of people in green shirts and garden gloves bent over, hard at work. With a smile, a chatty woman named Vera told us about their voluntary work here. “Hey,” my dad elbowed me, “maybe you should work here!” I rolled my eyes, but with nothing else to do, I decided to give it a try. I was there bright and early on a Tuesday morning. Entering my assigned garden, my hands struggled with a bucket and gloves. Vera introduced me to John, the head gardener, whose energy truly impressed me. At eighty-one, he still hiked mountains and bounded around with ease, cutting and clearing plants with a skill I could never have. Over the next several months, I came to the gardens regularly. John would always be there, smiling and ready to teach me a new lesson about roses and life. During snack breaks, my new friend and I would chat and discuss everything from mountains to middle school, laughing and learning the joys of a friendship across generations. One day I opened up about my fears for the fall. “I’m just not ready for school,” I said, biting my lip. “What if I have no friends?” John said nothing, but took me instead to a spot overlooking the four-quadrant (象限) garden. “See these two quadrants? Now look at the other two. What’s different?” I looked back and forth. “The left ones are shorter!” “Exactly. From a certain spot, all the beds look the same size. It’s called perspectivism. You can see your new school as scary, or as an opportunity. The choice is yours.” Three months later, after I had started high school, it was time for the Yaddo Gardens volunteer celebration. I saw John — my first friend in New York — and gave him a hug. “You were right,” I said. “I just needed a little perspective.” 63．What was the main cause for Dana’s complaint? A．Her parents’ unnatural glances. B．Her fear of the friendless new life. C．Her boredom with the picnic plan. D．Her father’s pretended enthusiasm. 64．Why did Dana agree to volunteer at Yaddo Gardens? A．To fill her time. B．To please her parents. C．To learn gardening. D．To escape from school. 65．What role does John mainly play in Dana’s life? A．A silent listener to her school fears. B．A reminder of her love for gardening. C．An elderly friend offering life guidance. D．A gardener leading her to voluntary work. 66．What can we learn from this passage? A．Where there is life, there is hope. B．Friendship needs time to grow old. C．Change always comes bearing gifts. D．Everything comes to him who waits. 【答案】63．B 64．A 65．C 66．C 【导语】主要讲述主人公搬家到纽约内心烦闷，在花园做志愿者时结识长者约翰并得到人生开导的故事。 【详解】63．细节理解题。根据第一段“On the way to a picnic at Yaddo Gardens, I complained, ‘New school, no friends, nothing to do. I hate it!’(在去亚多花园野餐的路上，我抱怨道：“新学校，没朋友，无事可做。我讨厌这样！”)”可知，达娜抱怨的主要原因是害怕没有朋友的新生活。 64．细节理解题。根据第三段“I rolled my eyes, but with nothing else to do, I decided to give it a try.(我翻了个白眼，但由于无事可做，我决定试一试)”可知，达娜同意在亚多花园做志愿者是为了打发时间。 65．推理判断题。根据第四段“John would always be there, smiling and ready to teach me a new lesson about roses and life. During snack breaks, my new friend and I would chat and discuss everything from mountains to middle school, laughing and learning the joys of a friendship across generations.(约翰总是在那里，微笑着准备教我关于玫瑰和生活的新知识。在休息时间，我和我的新朋友会聊天，讨论从山脉到中学的各种事情，笑着并享受着跨代友谊的乐趣)”以及第六段约翰以花园视角开导达娜可知，约翰在达娜生活中扮演着给予生活指引的老年朋友的角色。 66．推理判断题。根据最后一段““You were right,” I said. “I just needed a little perspective.”(“你说得没错，” 我开口道，“我只是需要换个角度好好想想。”)”可知，文章讲述达娜搬到纽约后对新生活不满，通过参加花园志愿活动，不仅结识了朋友，还在约翰的指引下改变了对新学校的看法，明白换个视角看问题，生活中的改变会带来收获。 （2026·江西南昌·模拟预测）As artificial intelligence-powered prosthetic (义肢的) arms become more common, one key question stands out: Will people truly feel that these devices are part of their bodies? To explore this, a group of scientists conducted new research. Traditional prosthetics research has focused on control methods that enable devices to respond accurately to user intentions, often by detecting bio-signals. This time, researchers used virtual reality to create the illusion (错觉) that a participant’s biological arm had been replaced with a robotic prosthetic. Participants performed reaching tasks while the virtual prosthetic arm independently moved toward the target. The researchers systematically varied how long the movement lasts across six levels, ranging from 125 milliseconds (毫秒) to 4 seconds. After each trial, participants evaluated multiple dimensions including body ownership, sense of agency, usability, and social impressions of the robot. Researchers found that when prosthetic limbs move at a suitable pace with a movement time of about one second instead of 125 milliseconds, participants report the strongest sense of body ownership and usability. The findings challenge the assumption that high speed is the most important measure of quality in prosthetic design, showing instead that natural movement timing is essential for user acceptance. At the same time, advances in machine learning and AI are opening the door to prosthetic limbs that can act on their own. Future systems may assess a complex situation and provide support through autonomous or semi-autonomous movement. However, when a limb moves independently, users may experience it as “unsettling” or “not part of my body.” That reaction poses a significant obstacle to widespread acceptance. Looking ahead, the research team plans to explore how long-term use changes perception. People often begin to experience frequently used tools as if they were part of their body. With continued daily use, even a fast and highly capable robotic limb may start to feel normal, easier to operate, and more like part of one’s own body. 67．How did the new research study prosthetics? A．By using virtual reality to imitate a robotic arm. B．By focusing on conventional control methods. C．By detecting biosignals from users’ muscles. D．By asking participants to wear real prosthetic arms. 68．What can we learn about the study results? A．Faster prosthetic movement leads to stronger body ownership. B．The sense of agency is unrelated to movement speed. C．Users prefer prosthetics that act completely on their own. D．Natural movement timing matters more than high speed. 69．What might be a challenge for the acceptance of prosthetic limbs? A．Lack of advanced technology. B．Unease about self-moving limbs. C．High cost of production. D．Complexity of the system. 70．What does the follow-up study focus on? A．Frequencies of using prosthetics. B．Improvement of arm appearance. C．Effects of the daily use on users’ feeling. D．Complete replacement of human arms. 【答案】67．A 68．D 69．B 70．C 【导语】本文介绍一项关于AI智能义肢的研究，发现自然的运动速度比高速更能让人产生肢体归属感；自主运动的义肢可能让人感到不适，未来研究将关注长期日常使用对用户感知的影响。 【详解】67．细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“This time, researchers used virtual reality to create the illusion (错觉) that a participant’s biological arm had been replaced with a robotic prosthetic.(这一次，研究人员利用虚拟现实技术制造出一种错觉，让参与者觉得自己的生物手臂已被机械义肢所取代。)”可知，研究人员通过使用虚拟现实技术，让参与者产生自己的生物手臂已被机械义肢取代的错觉，从而进行研究。 68．细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“The findings challenge the assumption that high speed is the most important measure of quality in prosthetic design, showing instead that natural movement timing is essential for user acceptance.(这些发现挑战了高速是假肢设计中最重要的质量衡量标准的假设，表明自然运动时间对用户接受度至关重要。)”可知，研究推翻了“速度越快越好”的观点，证明自然的运动节奏对用户接受度更重要。 69．细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“However, when a limb moves independently, users may experience it as “unsettling” or “not part of my body.” That reaction poses a significant obstacle to widespread acceptance.(然而，当义肢独立运动时，使用者可能会觉得这种感觉“令人不安”或者“不属于我的身体”。这种反应极大地阻碍了其被广泛接受。)”可知，当义肢自主运动时，用户会感到不安，不认为它是自己身体的一部分，这种反应是义肢被广泛接受的重大障碍。 70．细节理解题。根据文章末尾段内容“Looking ahead, the research team plans to explore how long-term use changes perception.(展望未来，研究小组计划探索长期使用如何改变人们的看法。)”可知，团队计划研究长期、日常使用如何改变用户的感知与感受。 （2026·北京朝阳·模拟预测）Writing is one of the great channels of expression. It gave human thought the power to travel across centuries. But that may be changing. Writing hasn’t failed, but the conditions around it, particularly Large Language Models, have deeply changed it. Writing is more than words on a page. 71 Behind the words is a mind trying to work something out. Writing has what I would call a biography behind it. 72 That gives the written word a kind of authority that is not only literary, but psychological. It feels connected to a person. That connection is disappearing. Large Language Models can write. The work is often smooth and the structure is convincing. And it can be generated quite easily at a very large scale. 73 It no longer reliably signals the labor of thought. This is a critical shift. The issue here isn’t just that machines can write, but that writing itself starts to feel disconnected from the human struggle that gives it substance and worth. Now, if writing loses some of its old authority, we may begin looking elsewhere for signs of genuine thought, such as human speech. 74 It can be challenged, and in that challenge it can be subject to interrogation (质询). If these qualities begin to matter more, authority may begin moving away from the written record and back toward live performance, toward what can be spoken and defended in the moment. That would be a cultural change, it would be a cultural one. But we need to point out the danger as well. Presence isn’t truth. 75 The return of speech wouldn’t solve the problem but relocate it.

Car makers are trying their best to improve in-car intelligence to meet users’ rising demand for personal and comfortable travel. Chinese car company XPeng has worked with glass maker Fuyao Group to develop AI dimming glass. This special glass lets passengers see outside clearly in dark conditions, while people outside cannot look in. It also works with the car’s system to change itself according to light, driving direction and inside situations. WEY, another Chinese brand, has put a native AI helper in its smart cockpit. The AI remembers users’ daily habits and serves detailed needs. For example, it can find if the driver is tired and give warnings, and stay quiet when people are making phone calls. Traditional car companies are also joining in. FAW-Volkswagen’s new model can understand different Chinese dialects (方言) and give smart answers. When the driver says “It’s hot inside,” the system can open the window or change the air conditioning. Market research shows smart experience has become an important factor when people buy cars, especially for buyers aged 25 to 35. More and more car buyers care about in-car feelings, not just models, prices or cost of energy. Experts say the “experience economy” is growing fast. AI is making cars more intelligent, and deeply improving people’s driving and riding experience. 76．What is special about XPeng’s AI dimming glass? A．It produces clean energy for the car. B．It protects passengers’ privacy well. C．It can clean itself automatically. D．It reduces driving risk greatly. 77．What can WEY’s AI agent do for drivers? A．Help find the way in real time. B．Offer free online music service. C．Notice tired driving and remind drivers. D．Control traffic lights around the car. 78．What can we infer from the text? A．Young buyers care much about smart cockpits. B．Traditional cars refuse to use AI technology. C．Smart cockpits have replaced car engines. D．All dialects can be fully understood by cars. 79．What is the main idea of the text? A．AI technology is widely used in car production. B．Smart cockpits lead a new trend of car experiences. C．Car companies compete in making new car models. D．Experience economy is developing across China. 【答案】76．B 77．C 78．A 79．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了智能座舱现已成为车企竞争的重要领域，各大汽车品牌纷纷运用人工智能打造车载智能体验，智能驾乘感受也逐渐成为消费者购车时的重要考量。 【详解】76．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This special glass lets passengers see outside clearly in dark conditions, while people outside cannot look in.(这种特殊玻璃能让乘客在昏暗环境下清晰看到车外，而车外的人无法看向车内)”可知，这款玻璃的特别之处在于能够很好地保护乘客隐私。 77．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The AI remembers users’ daily habits and serves detailed needs.

If only the effort they put into avoiding responsibility could be redirected into, well, actual responsibility. In fact, building work ethic (道德) in kids doesn’t require military-style drills. Here are four simple and practical ways. ● Make housework part of the family routine. Involve your child in the daily running of the house: tidying toys, feeding the dog, watering the plants. 80 When the tasks become as routine as brushing teeth, kids internalise that helping with housework is simply part of life. ● 81 You can’t expect your child to tackle their tasks with enthusiasm while you’re complaining about loading the dishwasher. If your child sees you enjoying your work and taking pride in a job well done, they’re far more likely to do the same. ● Build determination through goals. 82 Sometimes you have to help them find their “thing.” Set small, achievable goals together with them and celebrate progress, not perfection. The trick is to let them struggle a bit — resist the urge to help fix things the moment they experience a setback. ● Treat mistakes as opportunities. Few things strike fear into a child’s heart like the prospect of failing. The best way is to normalise mistakes as a natural part of learning. When kids mess up, don’t jump in with a rescue mission. 83 Teaching kids work ethic is to gently and consistently push them toward responsibility, determination, and pride in their efforts. 84 No worry. Those habits you’re building now are setting your child up for a lifetime of resilience (韧性) and satisfaction. A．The key is consistency. B．Help kids develop analytical skills. C．Model the work ethic you want to see. D．Instead, encourage them to do differently next time. E．Sometimes, a cleaner living room is the best reward. F．Progress can be slow, and you’ll wonder if it’s all sinking in. G．Not every child is born with the willpower of a marathon runner. 【答案】80．A 81．C 82．G 83．D 84．F 【导语】文章介绍了四种从小培养孩子劳动品质的实用方法。 【详解】80．根据空前“Involve your child in the daily running of the house: tidying toys, feeding the dog, watering the plants.(让孩子参与家庭日常事务：整理玩具、喂狗、浇花。)”以及空后“When the tasks become as routine as brushing teeth, kids internalise that helping with housework is simply part of life.(当做家务变得像刷牙一样常规化，孩子就会从内心认同做家务是生活的一部分。)”可知，前文给出具体家务内容，后文强调把家务固化成日常习惯，能让孩子形成观念，想要实现这个转变，核心要素就是持之以恒。A选项“The key is consistency.(关键在于持之以恒。)”，句中consistency对应后文routine，点明坚持常态化做家务是养成习惯的核心逻辑。 81．分析文章结构，该空为本段小标题，其余小标题均为简洁祈使句；根据本段后文“You can’t expect your child to tackle their tasks with enthusiasm while you’re complaining about loading the dishwasher. If your child sees you enjoying your work and taking pride in a job well done, they’re far more likely to do the same.(你不能指望孩子满怀热情地处理自己的任务，而你自己却在抱怨把洗碗机里的碗碟摆好。如果你的孩子看到你享受工作、并为自己出色完成的事情感到自豪，他们就更有可能也这样做。)”可知，整段核心是家长自身行为会被孩子模仿，家长要做好榜样。C选项“Model the work ethic you want to see.(树立你希望孩子拥有的劳动榜样。)”概括本段内容，适合做小标题。 82．本段小标题是“Build determination through goals.(借助目标培养意志力。)”；根据空后“Sometimes you have to help them find their “thing.” Set small, achievable goals together with them and celebrate progress, not perfection. The trick is to let them struggle a bit — resist the urge to help fix things the moment they experience a setback.(有时你需要帮孩子找到适合自己的事。和他们一起设定容易达成的小目标，看重进步而非完美。诀窍是让他们适当经历磨砺，不要一遇到挫折就立刻帮忙解决问题。)”可知，后文提出需要借助外力、设定小目标来锻炼意志力，反向说明孩子天生意志力参差不齐，不是所有人天生意志力都很强。G选项“Not every child is born with the willpower of a marathon runner.(并非每个孩子生来都拥有马拉松运动员那般强大的意志力。)”解释了为什么需要靠目标培养毅力，前后因果通顺，且与本段主题一致。 83．根据空前“When kids mess up, don’t jump in with a rescue mission.(孩子搞砸事情时，不要立刻出手包揽补救。)”可知，建议家长孩子出现问题不要立刻出手包揽补救，后文需要给出对应的正向替代方案。D选项“Instead, encourage them to do differently next time.(取而代之，鼓励他们下次换一种方式处理。)”中instead承接前文不插手的做法，给出引导孩子自主修正错误的具体方式，符合语境。 84．根据空后“No worry. Those habits you’re building now are setting your child up for a lifetime of resilience (韧性) and satisfaction.(不必担心。你当下正在培养的这些习惯，会让孩子终身拥有抗挫折能力与成就感。)”可知，No worry是安慰语气，说明空格处必然是家长会产生的顾虑。F选项“Progress can be slow, and you’ll wonder if it’s all sinking in.(进步速度可能很慢，你会疑惑孩子究竟有没有真正听进去、学进去。)”提出家长的焦虑疑惑，后文紧接着进行安抚解释，符合语境。 （2026·全国二卷·高考真题）The peak of Mount Qomolangma, 8,849 meters above sea level. Chimborazo, 6,263 m; Mont Blanc, 4,806 m; Pradidali hut, at the foot of the Pala group in the Dolomites, 2,278 m. It is common practice to provide the elevation (高度) of a place. Simple readings are now readily available on our phones and wearables. But elevation is necessarily relative: only the choice of a reference point allows us to express numerically the height of an object or a location. The idea of sea level as a reference point for elevations has by now been around for so long as to go essentially unnoticed-we mention it without even considering what it means. That the concept has a history is easily ignored. We tend to forget that sea level is a product of technically and culturally determined assumptions. In this book, I tell a story of these assumptions. Appropriately, the book took shape during a summer spent between sea and mountains. A month after visiting the French Riviera and enjoying the sandy beaches of Nice and Menton, I went hiking with friends in the Pala group. Resting on a pass near the Pradidali hut, we began discussing the readings offered by our altimeters (测高仪). Why did they vary ever so slightly from one instrument to the next? This sense of uncertainty led me to think about the meaning of zero. This is how I began my search for the conceptual history of sea level. In this book I examine three crucial stages in the history of mean sea level. These stages mirror the development of human conceptions of the sea. Since I began thinking about this project in August 2011, the issue of sea-level rise and the need to place it historically have only become more urgent: between then and the end of 2022 the global sea rose by almost 5 centimeters, about half of the overall rise recorded by satellites since 1993. 85．What does the author point out at the beginning of the text? A．Some mountains are getting higher. B．Data on wearables are misleading. C．The concept of elevation is relative. D．The reference point is hard to locate. 86．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．How the altimeter was invented. B．What initiated the author’s research. C．Why the digital readings varied. D．Where the author spent his holiday. 87．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the last paragraph? A．The book. B．The project. C．The issue. D．The development. 88．What can be the title of the book mentioned in the text? A．The Altimeter: A Must-Have B．Sea Level: A History C．Meaning of Zero: Nothing or Everything D．Mountains to Seas: Ups and Downs 【答案】85．C 86．B 87．C 88．B 【导语】文章主要探讨了海拔高度的相对性，以及海平面作为参考点的历史演变。作者通过个人经历引出对海平面概念的思考，并介绍了其著作中关于平均海平面历史的研究。 【详解】85．细节理解题。根据第一段“But elevation is necessarily relative: only the choice of a reference point allows us to express numerically the height of an object or a location. (但海拔必定是相对的：只有选择一个参考点，我们才能用数字表达一个物体或位置的高度。) ”可知，作者在文章开头指出海拔的概念是相对的。 86．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Resting on a pass near the Pradidali hut, we began discussing the readings offered by our altimeters (测高仪). Why did they vary ever so slightly from one instrument to the next? This sense of uncertainty led me to think about the meaning of zero. This is how I began my search for the conceptual history of sea level. (在Pradidali小屋附近的山口休息时，我们开始讨论测高仪上的读数。为什么不同仪器之间的读数略有差异？这种不确定性让我开始思考零的含义。这就是我开始探究海平面概念史的原因。)”可推知，本段主要讲述了作者研究工作的起因。 87．词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Since I began thinking about this project in August 2011, the issue of sea-level rise and the need to place it historically have only become more urgent: between then and the end of 2022 the global sea rose by almost 5 centimeters, about half of the overall rise recorded by satellites since 1993.(自从我在2011年8月开始思考这个项目以来，海平面上升的问题以及将它置于历史背景下的必要性变得愈发紧迫：从那时到2022年底，全球海平面上升了近5厘米，约占自1993年以来卫星记录的总体上升幅度的一半。)”可知，划线词“it”指代前文提到的“the issue of sea-level rise”中的“the issue”，即海平面上升的问题。 88．推理判断题。通读全文，根据第二段“That the concept has a history is easily ignored. We tend to forget that sea level is a product of technically and culturally determined assumptions. In this book, I tell a story of these assumptions.(这个概念有一段历史很容易被忽视。我们往往忘记海平面是技术和文化决定的假设的产物。在这本书中，我讲述了这些假设的故事。)”以及第四段“In this book I examine three crucial stages in the history of mean sea level.(在这本书中，我考察了平均海平面历史的三个关键阶段。)”可推知，该书主要探讨海平面的历史。因此，这本书最合适的标题是“海平面：一段历史”。 （2026·全国二卷·高考真题）Roland Reisley turned 101 years old in May and is in remarkable health. But that’s not the thing he prides himself on. “I am the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright, still living in the home he designed for me,” Reisley said, sitting in the bright open living room of the home designed by the famous architect. The house where Reisley has lived for 73 years is located in the woods of Westchester County, New York, just 30 miles north of Manhattan. It’s one of 47 that make up the peaceful mid-20th-century modern village of Usonia. Back in 1951, Reisley was just 26, newly married and ready to put down roots. He and his wife began looking for a place in Manhattan. But what they liked, they couldn’t afford on his sound engineer’s salary and what they could, they didn’t like. Then they heard about Usonia. On their first trip out, they were greeted with such enthusiasm from the 10 families who’d already established homes there that they decided to join. The house has signature Wright features. It is made with local materials, has a flat roof, wood paneling, concrete floors and custom-made furniture. Over the decades, Reisley has opened his doors to visitors. The house is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Reisley said he’s tried his best to be a good steward (管家) not just of the Wright creation he lives in, but all others as well. He co-founded the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, an organization engaged in the preservation of all of Wright’s remaining buildings. Reisley believes that his devotion to the home and the community are what have kept him in such good health all of these years. 89．How does Reisley feel about having Wright as his house designer? A．Honored. B．Amused. C．Stressed. D．Inspired. 90．What made Reisley finally decide to settle down in Usonia? A．Its natural environment. B．Its large-sized houses. C．The convenience of its location. D．The warmth of its residents. 91．What can we learn about Reisley’s house? A．It is older than its owner. B．It uses local materials. C．It has a pointed roof. D．It is put up for sale. 92．What can be inferred about Reisley from the last paragraph? A．He is very attached to Wright buildings. B．He is devoted to health education. C．He is an expert in home decoration. D．He is passionate about tourism. 【答案】89．A 90．D 91．B 92．A 【导语】主要讲述百岁老人赖斯利住在赖特为他设计的老宅中，守护建筑并投身赖特建筑保护事业的故事。 【详解】89．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But that’s not the thing he prides himself on. “I am the last original client of Frank Lloyd Wright, still living in the home he designed for me,” Reisley said, sitting in the bright open living room of the home designed by the famous architect. (但这并不是他引以为傲的事。赖斯利坐在这位知名建筑师设计的房子明亮开阔的客厅里说道：“我是弗兰克・劳埃德・赖特最后一位在世的原始业主，仍然住在他为我设计的房子里。”)”可知，莱斯利以此为荣，内心倍感荣幸。 90．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then they heard about Usonia. On their first trip out, they were greeted with such enthusiasm from the 10 families who’d already established homes there that they decided to join.(后来他们听说了尤索尼亚。他们第一次前去时，已经定居在那里的十户人家热情地接待了他们，于是他们决定搬来定居。)”可知，当地居民的热情温暖打动了他，促使他定居于尤索尼亚。 91．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The house has signature Wright features. It is made with local materials, has a flat roof, wood paneling, concrete floors and custom-made furniture.(这座房子有着赖特标志性风格，采用本地材料建造，平顶、木镶板、水泥地面以及定制家具。)”可知，关于莱斯利的房子，我们能了解到它使用了当地材料。 92．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Reisley said he’s tried his best to be a good steward (管家) not just of the Wright creation he lives in, but all others as well. He co-founded the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy, an organization engaged in the preservation of all of Wright’s remaining buildings.(赖斯利说他尽力好好守护自己居住的赖特建筑，也守护其余所有赖特作品；他联合创立保护协会，专门留存赖特现存建筑。)”可知，赖斯利深深眷恋、珍视所有赖特设计的建筑，由此推断出赖斯利对赖特的建筑怀有深厚感情。 （2026·全国二卷·高考真题）The Barcelona subway pulls into the station, the doors slide open and passengers pour out to go about their daily business. Little do they know that as they do so, a burst of energy is sent up to street level to help charge an electric car. Barcelona has put together a package of clean energy technologies to help public transportation go greener, while also doing its part to tackle climate change and aid Europe’s difficult shift to the privately owned electric vehicle market. Sixteen stations of Barcelona’s subway system are part of its new MetroCharge project, whereby the energy from the underground trains’ brakes (刹车) is used to power the trains and the stations themselves, while the remainder is sent snaking through cables (电缆) to the surface to power plug-in stations for privately owned vehicles. Bernardo Espinoza, an engineer who takes the subway every day, owns an electric car. “I am pleasantly surprised, because I am always looking for where to plug it in,” Espinoza said before catching the subway in a working-class area of southern Barcelona. “And if it is from energy from the trains’ brakes, then even better.” Regenerative brakes have been in trains for decades and are also used in some cars. They consist of an electric motor which collects energy used in the braking action that would be lost as heat by conventional brakes. That energy can be immediately used to accelerate (加速) the vehicle or, in the case of the Barcelona subway system, sent along cables to supply electricity for the station or for electric car chargers. Alvaro Luna, a professor of electrical engineering, said that the system is innovative in so far as it allows for recycled energy to be redirected to specific local uses — in this case powering electric cars parked nearby. That, he said, boosts efficiency. 93．Why does Barcelona launch the MetroCharge project? A．To fuel the city’s economy. B．To enhance passengers’ experience. C．To promote green transportation. D．To raise the quality of electric cars. 94．What is Espinoza’s concern? A．How to cut his travel expenses. B．Where to get a parking space. C．How to avoid rush-hour traffic. D．Where to find a charging point. 95．What aspect of regenerative brakes is discussed in paragraph 5? A．Their operating conditions. B．Their conventional standard. C．Their potential risks. D．Their working mechanism. 96．What did Luna say about the system? A．It uses reclaimed energy creatively. B．It improves workers’ efficiency. C．It prioritizes the safety of trains. D．It generates jobs for the locals. 【答案】93．C 94．D 95．D 96．A 【导语】文章主要介绍了巴塞罗那推出的地铁能量回收项目，利用列车刹车余能为电车充电桩供电，实现绿色交通与能源高效利用。 【详解】93．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Barcelona has put together a package of clean energy technologies to help public transportation go greener, while also doing its part to tackle climate change and aid Europe’s difficult shift to the privately owned electric vehicle market.(巴塞罗那整合了一整套清洁能源技术，助力公共交通走向绿色环保，同时为应对气候变化出力，并助力欧洲艰难转向私人电动汽车市场。)”可知，该项目目的是推广绿色交通。 94．细节理解题。根据第四段中的““I am pleasantly surprised, because I am always looking for where to plug it in,” Espinoza said before catching the subway in a working-class area of southern Barcelona. (埃斯皮诺萨在巴塞罗那南部一处工人街区搭乘地铁前说道：“我又惊喜又开心，我总在四处找地方给车充电。”)”可知，埃斯皮诺萨一直发愁找不到充电桩。 95．主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“They consist of an electric motor which collects energy used in the braking action that would be lost as heat by conventional brakes. That energy can be immediately used to accelerate the vehicle or, in the case of the Barcelona subway system, sent along cables to supply electricity for the station or for electric car chargers.(它们由一个电动机构成，该电动机会收集刹车动作中产生的能量——这些能量在传统刹车系统中会以热量的形式散失掉。这些能量可以立即用于加速车辆，或者在巴塞罗那地铁系统的情况下，通过电缆输送，为车站或电动汽车充电桩供电。)”可知，本段介绍了再生刹车的工作原理。 96．细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Alvaro Luna, a professor of electrical engineering, said that the system is innovative in so far as it allows for recycled energy to be redirected to specific local uses — in this case powering electric cars parked nearby.

Is it because the material is too difficult to comprehend on the first reading or because you are asleep? 97 You are napping (打盹) or daydreaming. Halfway down the page you realize that you have no idea what you have read. 98 Thus, you go back and reread, not because you did not understand, but because you were not paying attention. This type of rereading is called regression. Napping and daydreaming are habits caused by lack of involvement with the material. Be demanding on yourself and expect 100 percent attention to the task. Engage your mind. Visualize the incoming ideas, and relate the new material to what you already know. 99 If your mind is truly occupied with the text, you will not be able to think about Friday night or where to go on Saturday. Regression is a crutch (拐杖) that allows you to make up for wasted time. First of all, become aware of when and why you are regressing. 100 Say, “OK. I missed that paragraph because I was thinking of something else, but I’m going to keep on going and start paying close attention.” 101 Good readers who monitor their own comprehension use it in the reading process.
