2026年1月福建省多地市 高三英语-阅读C篇 From taking quick shots for social media with a smartphone to patiently waiting for the perfect street moment with a film camera, photography has become part of everyday life. However, there is a common misunderstanding that mobile photography, compared to film photography, reduces creation to a shallow form of photographic note-taking rather than true art. This belief misses a core fact: these two media represent different ways of seeing and creating. Psychology research offers insights into this. Professor Robert Epstein from Harvard University’s Visual Cognition Lab notes, “When we take photos with a phone, our brain is in a ‘rapid capture’ mode; whereas with a film camera, it enters a ‘deliberate composition’ state.” Functional MRI（核磁共振）studies have shown that when using a smartphone, areas of the brain linked to quick decision-making are more active. In contrast, when using a film camera, the networks related to sense of beauty and precise hand control show stronger connectivity. Photography educator David Yorke explains: “With a film camera, you must think through everything before taking the picture—composition, exposure, timing. This forces you to slow down and truly learn to ‘see’.” However, it does not mean that mobile photography cannot produce true art. An experiment in a journal of visual research found that mobile users take an average of 15 times more photos per day than film users. This frequent practice enhances their ability to capture fleeting（转瞬即逝的）moments. Documentary photographer Marina Chen shares this view: “Smartphones have made photography accessible to everyone. Sometimes, the energy in these moments is more valuable than carefully arranged shots.” A truly mature photographer understands that artistic vision requires both: the quick response to the present and the discipline to compose with care. Mobile photography and film photography do not replace each other. Together, they enrich our visual expression and expand our capacity to see the world with clarity and imagination. 28. What is a common misunderstanding about mobile photography? A. It lacks artistic depth. B. It departs from daily life. C. It misses digital creativity. D. It blocks factual recording. 29. What can we learn about film and mobile photography from paragraph 2? A. They need professional insight. B. They depend on instant capture. C. They involve distinct mental processes. D. They reflect different controlling behaviors. 30. What ability does film photography develop according to David Yorke? A. Visual sensitivity. B. Mindful observation. C. Decisive response. D. Emotional engagement. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. The Brain Science Behind Photography B. Beyond the Shallow, Reclaiming the Art C. A Scientific Guide to Better Photography D. Two Modes of Imaging, One Art of Creating 2026年1月福建省泉州市高三第二次质量检测英语-阅读C篇 I have always been a person that needed to have the time to explore or experience something before I could make personal meaning. I often found that without first-hand experiences, I would soon forget. And nature always helped me remember and make connections to other concepts and ideas. Confucius’ saying “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” became clear to me through Dr. Bill Belzer. At the camp, he led us city kids—raised amid concrete, blacktop and little green space—on adventures. Every morning he would offer a stream hike, mud hike, or nature study of some sort. At first, I held back from joining him. However, when I saw the other campers returning from their outings happy and excited, I went to nature study because it seemed fun, and it was! Every time I went to Belzer’s nature study, everyone was observing, touching, listening, so was our leader. With each discovery we made on the walk, new things would come to light, inspiring unexpected connections. Occasionally Bill would come over and say, “What do you see?” It was not planned, it was spontaneous（自发的）and we were attracted to this kind of play and exploration. With this in the mind, I took the leap into this kind of learning by organising a stream stroll at the university where I taught. Each undergraduate was assigned a group of about four or five first-grade children. And with a splash, we were all explorers. The undergraduates initially tried to guide the children to see specific things, but later found that the children had their own exploration directions, so they turned to follow the children’s rhythm and were shocked by this unplanned exploration. Learning about nature and our earth, to make a personal connection, must be through involvement in something over time. That’s the proof: a lasting connection to nature and learning is formed not in classrooms, but in doing. 28. How did the author initially feel about joining Dr. Belzer’s nature study? A. Cautious. B. Hesitant. C. Prepared. D. Curious. 29. Why does the author mention Dr. Belzer’s camp? A. To recall a memorable childhood adventure. B. To prove city kids lack exposure to nature. C. To demonstrate learning through direct experience. D. To present the figure of Dr. Bill Belzer. 30. What happened when the undergraduates freed the children? A. The kids’ self-directed discoveries amazed them. B. The undergraduates took over the role of guiding. C. The children lost interest without clear direction. D. The activity became chaotic and unproductive. 31. What is the author’s main argument in the text? A. Teachers should receive training in outdoor education. B. Lasting learning comes from personal involvement in doing. C. Unplanned exploration is the best way for children to learn. D. Nature study is more effective than classroom instruction. 2026年1月广东省大湾区 高三英语-阅读C篇 Colorful songbirds known as honeycreepers were once common in Hawaii. However, these native creatures are now struggling to survive because of avian malaria, a deadly disease spread by invasive（侵袭的）mosquitoes. Of the more than 50 species that once lived throughout the islands, just 17 remain today. Now, scientists have come up with a clever plan to help the birds. They are using drones to drop thousands of lab-grown, non-biting male mosquitoes engineered to carry a type of bacteria called Wolbachia that acts as mosquito birth control. When these special males mate with wild females, the resulting eggs will not hatch, which should reduce the overall mosquito population and give the birds a much-needed break. Since the “Birds, Not Mosquitoes” (BNM) project was started in 2023, over 40 million such mosquitoes have been released. Most of the mosquito drops have been made from helicopters. But recently, scientists began experimenting with eight-foot-long drones. A drone can’t carry as many mosquitoes as a helicopter can-just 23,000 compared to 250,000-but it’s safer, because it doesn’t require any humans to be on board. Drones are also easier to arrange at a moment’s notice, which is a major benefit in an area with often unpredictable weather. The mosquitoes are being dropped inside small capsules. Each capsule contains roughly 1,000 males, which are kept alive inside a temperature-controlled transport box attached to the drone. Once released, they “fall to the forest floor where they provide protection to the mosquitoes until they’re ready to fly away,” says Adam Knox, a drone pilot involved in the project. “The capsules then begin to break down once exposed to wind and rain,” he adds. This technique, previously used against human diseases, marks its first wildlife-saving application. With climate change pushing mosquitoes to higher altitudes-the last shelter for honeycreepers, time is running out. Several of the remaining honeycreeper species are highly endangered. Some die after a single bite from an infected mosquito. Thus, curbing the mosquito population with methods like the BNM project may be the birds’ only chance to survive. 28. What can be learnt about honeycreepers from paragraph 1? A. They spread avian malaria to mosquitoes. B. A mosquito-borne disease threatens them. C. Thirty-three species of them have died out. D. They are losing habitats to native creatures. 29. What led to the shift to a new carrier in the project? A. Its success in previous similar projects. B. Its expanded carrying capacity and range. C. Its superior operational safety and flexibility. D. Its adaptability to various weather conditions. 30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. How to protect mosquitoes from diseases. B. How to deliver the lab-grown mosquitoes. C. How to lessen the project’s impact on nature. D. How to control the temperature of containers. 31. What does the underlined word “curbing” in the last paragraph mean? A. Wiping out. B. Keeping track of. C. Coexisting with. D. Keeping under control. 2026年1月广东省佛山市 高三英语-阅读C篇 On a typical sunny day at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), small native bushes（灌木）wave where tidy grasslands used to be, bees fly over flowers, and students walk on a campus alive with biodiversity. The new scenery marks a major milestone in campus sustainability. In 2025, UCLA became the first university in California to earn the Green Grounds Certification from the nonprofit Re: wild Your Campus, which recognizes the school’s efforts to improve human health and biodiversity. For years, colleges have used rewilding as a way to restore biodiversity and bring a more natural look to their grounds with native plants. But too often, they miss a critical piece of the puzzle: the chemicals being used elsewhere on campus. While wildflowers bring buzzing bees, true ecological restoration is weakened if pesticides（农药）and fertilizers are used. This is why Re: wild Your Campus created the Green Grounds Certification—to center both chemical elimination and rewilding and to link them together. Schools that are taking such a holistic approach to campus management can be honored and uplifted. Adopting a holistic approach to land care does more than just create healthier campus environments; it reinforces the reality that colleges are interconnected microcosms（缩影）of larger environmental systems. In many cities, universities offer some of the largest areas of open space, yet the chemicals applied to grasslands can impact nearby rivers, lakes, and drinking water. Students and all the teaching staff are increasingly recognizing this, leading to more advocacy for introducing native species and stopping using harmful pesticides. Beyond environmental health, a rewilding approach can help safeguard human health. Students are closely connected to the outdoor settings of their colleges where pesticides can stay in the air, settle on picnic tables, and be tracked into dorm rooms. Through a holistic approach, institutions can ensure that the grounds students walk on daily are free from poisonous substances, for the health of all. And that’s exactly what some schools like UCLA are doing. Their leadership shows that sustainability means finding new ways to care for the land responsibly—for people and for the planet. 28. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A. By discussing students’ activities. B. By describing a changed landscape. C. By showing students’ love for nature. D. By highlighting the function of plants. 29. What can we know about the holistic approach? A. It was initiated by UCLA. B. It avoids using pesticides. C. It focuses on students’ welfare. D. It is intended to connect schools. 30. Why does the author mention “picnic tables” in paragraph 6? A. To promote a healthy lifestyle. B. To suggest safety improvements. C. To discourage outdoor activities. D. To stress health risks to students. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Native Plants: Key to Preventing Pollution B. UCLA’s Holistic Plan: For Safer Classrooms C. The Holistic Method: Toward Sustainable Campuses D. Sustainability Through Trees: For Greener Campuses 2026年1月广东省汕头市 高三英语-阅读C篇 Imagine you are preparing a class presentation when you suddenly remember you forgot to feed the cat. You grab your phone to text your mum, but an ad jumps out: “50% off your favourite brand!” One tap leads to another; ten minutes later you have looked through reviews, filled a cart and almost missed your own slide. This phenomenon is called “popcorn（爆米花）brain”. The term was introduced in 2011 by researcher David Levy from the University of Washington. It describes a mental state where attention wanders, and thoughts jump quickly from one topic to another—just like popcorn popping rapidly in a hot pan. People with popcorn brain find it hard to concentrate or maintain a clear line of thinking. University of California Researcher Gloria Mark tracked 2,000 American office workers and students in her two-decade study on attention with silent screen recorders and heart-rate belts. In 2004 people stayed on one task for 2.5 minutes on average; by 2020 the figure had fallen to 47 seconds. Heart-rate data showed that every extra switch raised a stress hormone（荷尔蒙）by about 7%. Studies show that digital technology, especially social media, worsens this condition. Data Reportal’s 2024 report pooled screen-time records from 1.3 million users in 40 countries and found further proof. For instance, people in America aged 16-24 averaged 7 hours 3 minutes online per day, equaling roughly 17 years of adult life. Such constant digital exposure trains the brain to prefer short bursts of information. As a result, focusing on one task becomes harder. Information overload also affects memory, decision-making, and emotional control. The cure, tested in follow-up trials, is brief: set clear tech boundaries. Recommended strategies include limiting daily screen time, turning off non-essential notification, and creating tech-free periods or spaces. Building a structured daily routine is also advised:individuals can begin by measuring their current focus duration, then set realistic goals and stick to a fixed schedule for important tasks. This consistent practice strengthens habits and prepares your mind and body to focus on the task for a longer period without getting popcorn brain. 28. How does the author present the issue in paragraph 1? A. By defining a concept. B. By providing statistics. C. By giving an example. D. By introducing a presentation. 29. What can be inferred from the data in Gloria Mark’s study? A. Attention on a task dropped half in decades. B. Frequent switching may increase mental stress. C. People's average screen time decreased steadily. D. Shortened screen time may lead to higher heart disease risk. 30. What does the underlined word “pooled” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Evaluated. B. Created. C. Published. D. Collected. 31. According to the passage, how can we prevent getting “popcorn brain”? A. Setting aside no-device areas. B. Changing daily schedules flexibly. C. Using more advanced digital devices. D. Checking essential notification regularly. 2026年1月河北省NT20高三质量检测英语-阅读C篇 As the holiday season approaches, products featuring artificial intelligence are raising alarms among child safety advocates. Consumer groups warn that AI-powered toys may endanger children's well-being due to insufficient regulation and research, urging demands for stricter oversight. “These toys lack evidence of benefits for kids, face zero AI regulation, and their marketing creates serious risks,” said Rachel Franz of Fairplay, a tech watchdog. The concerns intensified after a Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) investigation revealed an AI teddy bear named Olly’s Kumquat could discuss sensitive topics despite being marketed as a “relationship enhancer.” “I was shocked by how openly it addressed inappropriate content,” reported PIRG’s Teresa Murray. Before the report, parents, technology researchers and lawmakers had already raised concerns about the impact of bots on minors’ mental health. Experts highlight that children may form emotional bonds with bots without realizing they are not human. “Kids might expect unconditional support or prefer bots over real relationships,” warned Jacqueline Woolley of the University of Texas. Companies also collect children’s data without transparency（透明）, increasing privacy risks. “Children may share deeply personal thoughts with toys lacking security measures,” said Franz. While acknowledging potential educational uses—like language learning-advocates urge caution. “AI toys shouldn’t be banned, but must prove safety through research before remaining on shelves,” Franz insisted. Following PIRG’s report, OllyAI halted production of the bear toys for a safety review. Meanwhile, 80 organizations, including Fairplay, advised families to avoid AI toys this season, emphasizing that traditional offline toys have well-documented benefits without the risks created by AI. Toy manufacturers responded defensively. Curro, maker of The Grotto, promised to investigate concerns while ensuring child safety. Mattel clarified its OpenAI products target “families and older audiences,” banning users under 13 and stressing AI as a “supplement, not replacement” for traditional play. Yet Franz questioned Mattel’s safeguards: “How will they prevent kids from accessing these products?” As AI integration expands in children’s products, the debate centers on balancing innovation with protection. Until studies confirm safety and ethical standards, critics argue caution-not convenience—should guide holiday gift choices. 28. What problem did the PIRG investigation find about the AI teddy bear? A. It promoted inappropriate physical activities for children, B. It failed to function properly during standard safety tests. C. It was found to be collecting personal financial information. D. It addressed subjects that differed from its intended function. 29. What does paragraph 3 focus on? A. The potential risks of traditional toys. B. The dangers AI toys might bring to kids. C. The lack of safety in most children’s toys. D. The way AI toys replace real friends for kids. 30. What does the underlined word “halted” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Suspended. B. Ignored. C. Opposed. D. Expanded. 31. What can be inferred from Mattel’s statement about its AI products? A. They plan to replace its traditional toys. B. They position AI as an optional addition. C. They admit AI toys cannot be educational. D. They believe the age restrictions are reliable. 2026年1月河南省郑州市 高三英语-阅读C篇 When you look at the colorful rows of fruits and vegetables in the grocery store, you might think you’re getting all the nutrients you need. But recent studies show that today’s crops have fewer nutrients than what our grandparents ate decades ago. This decline is alarming and could affect our health in the future. Over the past 70 years, many fruits, vegetables, and grains have lost significant amounts of protein, calcium, iron, and vitamins. A review in the journal Foods in 2024 called this a major challenge for future generations. This is especially important as more people are encouraged to eat plant-based diets for health and environmental reasons. David Montgomery, a professor at the University of Washington, warns that this nutrient decline means our food is less effective at preventing chronic（慢性的）diseases. Even if you eat lots of fresh produce, what you’re eating today is less nutritious than what your grandparents ate, says Kristie Ebi, an expert in climate change and health. The problem lies in modern farming practices. Methods that increase crop harvest often harm soil health. Irrigation, fertilization, and harvesting prevent the natural interactions between plants and soil fungi（真菌）, reducing nutrient absorption. Climate change and rising carbon dioxide levels also play a role in lowering nutrient content. A major study in 2004 found that 43 garden crops had less protein, calcium, iron, and vitamin C compared to 50 years earlier. More recent studies show similar trends in Australian vegetables and wheat, with significant drops in iron and protein. This nutrient decline affects not just plant-based diets but also meat. Animals now eat less nutritious grasses and grains, making meat and dairy products less nutritious too. Scientists urge us not to worry too much but to pay attention to how our food is grown. Montgomery says understanding the impact of farming practices gives us a new reason. As the population grows, we need to protect and restore our farmland to ensure healthy food for everyone. 28. Why does the author mention what our grandparents ate? A. To criticize modern diets. B. To compare farming costs. C. To highlight nutrient loss. D. To promote traditional recipes. 29. What does Montgomery reveal about modern farming practices? A. They put soil health first. B. They improve crop variety. C. They reduce carbon dioxide. D. They ruin disease prevention. 30. What is scientists’ advice about nutrient decline? A. Caring about agriculture. B. Focusing on food quantity. C. Avoiding plant-based diets. D. Eating less processed foods. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The decrease of nutrients in crops. B. The consequence of plant-based diets. C. The worsening health conditions of humans. D. The big problems of modern farming practices. 2026年1月湖北省黄冈市 高三英语-阅读C篇 We know that some animals live longer than others, but we do not yet fully understand why. Researchers have previously identified brain size and metabolic（新陈代谢）rates as factors that can vary lifespan, but now evolutionary researchers from the UK’s University of Bath have found another factor, and it’s one that could be key to understanding why cats tend to live longer than dogs. “Our study reveals the surprising role played by the immune system—not just in fighting disease, but also in supporting longevity across a wide range of mammals,” says Benjamin from the University of Bath’s Centre for Evolution. The research does not dismiss the other reasons, rather suggesting longevity is a combination of factors. The researchers investigated the maximum lifespan of 46 different mammalian species, comparing the animals’ genes. The team studied dolphins, which can live for up to 39 years, and other whales that live for up to 100 years, but they also looked into smaller animals such as mice, which typically live for only one to two years. The results showed that certain small animals live longer than expected, such as naked mole rats, which can live 20 years despite a small size and brain. The species that live the longest had more genes associated with their immune system, according to the researchers;the team believes that a strong immune system acts to eliminate damaged cells, while also fighting infections and preventing disease. Cats are gifted with a strong natural immunity through a diverse set of immune-related genes, whereas the selective breeding of dogs has left some breeds with inherited immune deficiencies（缺陷）. The researchers now intend to look deeper into significant differences in the lifespans of different mammals by investigating specific genes that relate to cancer and other life-shortening diseases. 28. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph? A. By quoting an expert. B. By defining a concept. C. By comparing findings. D. By providing statistics. 29. What did the University of Bath researchers focus on? A. Daily eating habits. B. Living environments. C. Genetic characteristics. D. Reproductive patterns 30. Why does the author mention naked mole rats? A. To compare their lifespan with that of mice. B. To explain why small animals live shorter lives. C. To show naked mole rats have the longest lifespan. D. To prove size and brain size don’t determine lifespan. 31. What is the researchers’ next plan? A. To study the immune system of cats and dogs. B. To explore genes associated with severe diseases. C. To confirm the role of metabolic rates in lifespan. D. To investigate the effect of breeding on immunity 2026年1月湖北省武汉市武昌区 高三英语-阅读C篇 Our Earth is located on the inner edge of a spiral（螺旋的）arm within the Milky Way, but this is not our permanent address. When most dinosaurs went extinct, our solar system was in a completely different arm! Our galaxy（星系）is in a state of constant evolution. Thirteen billion years ago, the gas and dust particles（分子）that eventually became our Milky Way were moving quickly in every direction. Despite the wild motion of its parts, the galaxy as a whole was spinning about an axis（轴）. While their individual motions were chaotic, the galaxy as a whole acquired all the particles and circled around a common axis. Meanwhile, frequent crashes slowed the particles, allowing gravity to pull them inward. So, why is the Milky Way flat? The answer lies in the conservation of angular momentum（动量）. In dense（密度大的）objects like stars, internal pressure and gravity create a sphere. But in a low-density, high-momentum system like a young galaxy, the spinning motion dominates. To conserve momentum, particles could not fall directly inward but were forced to orbit, gradually collapsing into a single, spinning disc over billions of years. The Milky Way’s spiral arms are not rigid structures, but dynamic squeezing waves. As these waves travel through the galaxy’s disc, they squeeze gas, starting the birth of bright young star groups that outline the arms. The galaxy’s spin then winds these waves into grand spirals. Our solar system, orbiting faster than the wave pattern, is currently diving deeper into our local arm—a journey through a single arm takes millions of years. Recent observations even suggest spiral galaxies can host two or more crossing waves travelling at different speeds. The result would be that spiral arms last for tens or hundreds of millions of years before breaking apart and re-forming. When the Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, our galaxy’s spirals may have looked entirely different than today. And in about 5 billion years, the Milky Way will start to combine with the Andromeda galaxy and disturb the conservation of angular momentum, thus creating an egg shape and giving rise to a new time in our galaxy’s history. 28. What was the initial state of the particles that formed the Milky Way? A. Flying around randomly. B. Moving because of gravity. C. Spinning around an axis rapidly. D. Crashing to gain momentum. 29. What is the primary reason given for the Milky Way’s flat, disc-like shape? A. The high density of the Milky Way. B. The need to maintain angular momentum. C. The frequent crashes of gas and dust particles. D. The dominance of internal pressure and gravity. 30. What can be inferred about the Milky Way’s spiral arms? A. They are permanent features. B. They have new stars born there. C. They are directly caused by the spin. D. They move faster than our solar system. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. The evolution of the Milky Way. B. The crash between galaxies. C. The formation of the solar system. D. The characteristics of spiral galaxies. 2026年1月湖南炎德英才长郡中学高三月考（五）英语-阅读C篇 Relationships are messy, whether you are an adult with lots of experience or a kid navigating through tough times with a best friend, boyfriend or girlfriend. You can’t predict moods, interests or desires. For teens learning the ins and outs of relationships for the first time, disagreements, fights and breakups can be ruinous. But what if your teen’s best friend wasn’t actually human? It may seem far-fetched, but it’s not. A new report from Common Sense Media says that 72 percent of teens surveyed have used AI companions, and 33 percent have relationships or friendships with these chatbots. The language that AI companions use, the responses they make, and the empathy they exude（流露）can make a user feel as though they truly understand and sympathize. These chatbots can make someone feel liked or even loved. They are programmed to help users feel like they’ve made a real connection. This may be puzzling to some parents, but if your child is navigating the complex worlds of technology, social media and artificial intelligence, the likelihood that they will be curious about an AI companion is pretty high. Here are some things that you must know. You might think your kid won’t get attached and that they will know the chatbots are an algorithm（算法）designed to give immediate responses based on the text inputs they receive, which is not real. But a fascinating Stanford University study of students who use the app Replika found that 81 percent considered their AI companion has “intelligence”, and 90 percent thought it “human-like”. On the plus side, these companions are sometimes touted（吹捧）for their supportiveness and promotion of mental health;the Stanford study even found that 3 percent of users felt their Replika had directly helped them avoid suicide. If you’re a teenager who is isolated or struggling to make friends, an AI companion can provide much-needed companionship. They may offer practice when it comes to building conversational and social skills. Chatbots can offer helpful information and tips. But are they safe? A Florida mother has accused the company that owns Character. AI, claiming the chatbot encouraged her 14-year-old son to attempt suicide. Another suit filed in 2024 claims that the same chatbot encourages self-harm in teens and violence towards parents who try to set limits on how often kids use the app. Then there’s privacy: AI companions are a “privacy horror”, with data trackers that may encourage negative or harmful behaviors. Given what we know about teens, screens and mental health, online influences are sometimes powerful, largely unavoidable, and potentially life-changing for children and families. 28. What motivates teenagers to use AI companions? A. To stay away from all conflicts in real relationships. B. To attain the feeling of being truly comprehended. C. To predict a robot’s emotions, interests and desires. D. To explore how AI can take the place of human friends. 29. What did the Stanford University study find? A. Most teens tended to develop an attachment to AI companions. B. Replika was widely used by teens for emotional support. C. Most teens fully knew AI companions were related to algorithms. D. AI companions could effectively improve teens’ social skills. 30. What is the author’s attitude towards AI companions? A. Negative. B. Indifferent. C. Objective. D. Skeptical. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The Hidden Dangers of AI Companions for Teens B. Teen Relationship: A Hard Nut to Crack C. Approaches to Helping Teens Use AI Companions Safer D. AI Companions: Teens’ Alternatives to Real Relationships 2026年1月湖南省长沙市 高三英语-阅读C篇 When we talk of human actions harming the environment, we often think of pollution, overuse of resources or destruction of habitats. But introducing new species into areas where they don’t naturally live can also be destructive. One such invasive（入侵的）species is the zebra mussel. Zebra mussels live in fresh water and are native to the Caspian and Black Seas, which are found in between Europe and Asia. These seas are less salty than most, so a freshwater species like the zebra mussel can live there and in nearby lakes. By attaching onto ships, the mollusks（软体动物）have spread to much of Europe and North America, causing a problem for the environment and humans alike. When species are abruptly introduced to a new ecosystem, they often damage the balance of that ecosystem, and zebra mussels are no exception. They feed by phytoplankton（浮游植物）and other nutrients out of the water when they pass through their shells, and they do so with striking efficiency. This means that when zebra mussels arrive in a new area, they consume so much phytoplankton that other species that also eat the same food source struggle to get a sufficient amount of food. Since those other creatures, in turn, are a food source for still other species, zebra mussels harm everything in the lake. Zebra mussels also create problems for humans because they multiply so quickly. They often grow on objects made by humans, and groups of them can prevent these objects from functioning. For example, zebra mussels have been known to obstruct the flow of water through pipes, which can prevent communities from getting clean drinking water. They attach to these objects firmly enough that they can prove difficult and expensive to clean. Removal of zebra mussels is incredibly difficult, so only by stopping them from spreading can people limit the troubles they cause. Governments of areas affected are taking steps to prevent their spread mostly by privately-owned boats. So, boaters must clean, drain（排空）, and dry their boats and motors before entering one lake or another to defend against their further spread. 28. Why does the author mention the environmental problems in the beginning? A. To introduce the topic. B. To predict the ending. C. To emphasize the effects. D. To illustrate an argument. 29. What can we learn about zebra mussels? A. They need salty water to survive. B. They only exist in Europe and Asia. C. They often break the balance of the ecosystem. D. They eat less phytoplankton than any other species. 30. What does the underlined word “obstruct” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Avoid. B. Block. C. Control. D. Direct. 31. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The damages caused by zebra mussels. B. The difficulties zebra mussels encounter. C. The measures to stop zebra mussels spreading. D. The rapid reproduction speed of zebra mussels. 2026年1月湖南省株洲市 高三英语-阅读C篇 The dawn chorus of birds has inspired poets and nature lovers for thousands of years, but the reason why birds start the day this way is a lasting mystery. Now, a series of experiments in zebra finches（斑胸草雀）suggests that while darkness prevents singing, birds build up a stronger motivation to sing in the night that causes them to burst into song at dawn. Anil Kamath and his team members studied laboratory-raised zebra finches in carefully controlled lighting conditions to control the timing of light and dark cycles. The team first pushed back the time at which the finches were exposed to sudden bright light to 3 hours later than the actual dawn. The birds were awake but stayed silent in the artificial darkness, and when the lights eventually did come on, the birds sang more intensely than usual. When the lights came on 3 hours earlier than the actual dawn, the birds still broke into a chorus, but without the same intensity as when they were forced to wait. “In other words, the longer the period of time between when the birds wake up and when the light begins is, the more intense the chorus becomes,” Kamath says. The team also analyzed the birds’ songs to see how these changed over the course of the day. They found there were rapid shifts in the structure of the songs in the first hour after dawn, compared with the second hour. “Due to the absence of singing during the night, the vocal motor system and song-acoustic structure may slightly become worse, and the dawn chorus serves to quickly restore them,” says Kamath. While this study only looks at one species, similar drivers may apply to other bird species. But Kamath urges caution. “There are many differences between species in how and when they sing in the dawn chorus,” he says, “and this explains why 11 different theories have been proposed to understand the phenomenon.” Kamath advises broadening the range of species to be studied in the future. 28. How did the researchers conduct the experiment? A. By adjusting light exposure time. B. By recording birds across seasons. C. By training the birds to sing on time. D.

Now, a new study finds one Australian rainforest is doing the opposite. The research, published in Nature, analyzed data from wet tropical rainforests in Australia, which scientists had tracked for nearly 50 years. By examining woody biomass from the rainforest, which typically holds a large amount of carbon, researchers found the forest is releasing more carbon than it absorbs, and this switch happened about 25 years ago. Since trees release stored carbon back into the atmosphere when they die and break down, this shift indicates that trees in this Australian rainforest are dying faster than they were decades ago, said lead author Hannah Carle, a forest ecosystem researcher at Western Sydney University. Drier air, higher temperatures and water shortages might all play a role. This is the first rainforest recorded as switching from a carbon sink to a carbon source, and Carle added the phenomenon could reflect a declining ecosystem in Australian wet rainforests overall. “The wet tropics in Australia occupy a bit of a warmer, drier climate space than tropical forests on other continents, thus potentially serving as an analog for what tropical forests will experience in other parts of the world,” said Carle. Previous research. suggested that tropical rainforests increase their capacity for carbon storage in response to consistently increasing CO2 in the atmosphere. This half-century of data challenges that. Raphael Trouve, who researches forest dynamics at the University of Melbourne in Australia and was not involved in the study, told The Guardian that data sets like this one can help track changes in the climate and environment. “It allows us to put the theory up against reality and better understand how these systems work.” 28. Which aspect of the Australian rainforest does the research focus on? A. The makeup of woody biomass. B. The effects on climate change. C. The level of carbon concentration. D. The change in carbon balance. 29. What does the shift in paragraph 3 show? A. Rising tree death rates. B. Stable weather patterns. C. Modest tropical rainfall. D. Instant ecosystem collapse 30. What does the underlined word “analog” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Different model. B. Sustainable system. C. Similar example. D. Historical background. 31. How does Raphael Trouve view these long-term data sets? A. They provide insights into the truth. B. They offer solutions to climate change. C. They are consistent with popular beliefs. D. They are independent of historical data. 2026年1月江苏省南通市 高三英语-阅读C篇 As digital communication becomes the primary way many people connect, the language we use in these spaces is constantly evolving. Texting has developed its own dialect（方言）, filled with abbreviations like “hru?” (how are you?). While nearly all texters use these shortcuts, the findings suggest that dashing off a swift “hru?” might not appear as genuine as taking the time to spell out: “How are you?” “While abbreviations can save time and effort, our research suggests that they may also slow down effective communication and negatively influence interpersonal perceptions,” the authors write in Journal of Experimental Psychology. The findings challenge the common assumption about texting culture. While 99% of people report using abbreviations and 84% believe others don't mind them, the research shows that abbreviated messages consistently create negative impressions. Perhaps most tellingly, only 15.8% of participants correctly predicted this negative impact, while 80% assumed others would be indifferent to abbreviations. David Fang at Stanford University and his colleagues ran the studies to explore the impact of abbreviations in different messaging scenarios（情景）. They examined over 200,000 conversations from 686 users spanning 37 countries and five continents. Researchers calculated the percentage of abbreviations participants used in their messages They discovered a clear pattern:conversations containing more abbreviations consistently died out faster. “Our research reveals that texting abbreviations negatively affect interpersonal communication by decreasing perceived effort, which in turn leads to lower perceived sincerity and responsiveness. Ultimately, our findings highlight the importance of considering the impact of evolving language use in the digital era on the quality of interpersonal communication,” Fang and his colleagues concluded. Texting abbreviations could contribute to loneliness if people find that social bonds weaken over time because they receive less frequent or positive replies to their texts, Fang said. But he doesn’t believe people should stop using abbreviations altogether. “We often tailor the effort we put into conversations to match the significance of the relationship. In some cases, it makes sense to invest less effort, like quickly texting with a delivery driver,” Fang said. “However, our findings are especially relevant when we want to strengthen social ties, such as at the beginning of a relationship or when we need to make a good impression.” 28. What do the findings indicate about texting abbreviations? A. They make senders seem insincere. B. They have evolved over a long time. C. They reshape digital communication. D. They are a shortcut to learning dialects. 29. What do texters commonly assume about abbreviations? A. They could become trendy. B. They would not bother others. C. They could ruin communication. D. They would damage social connections. 30. Fang’s research reveals that the use of abbreviations is perceived as ________. A. the evolution of language B. a lower effort from the sender C. an improved conversational quality D. the preference for a shorter conversation 31. What is Fang’s view on using abbreviations? A. It enhances social ties. B. It should be abandoned. C. It depends on the context. D. It can simplify the content. 2026年1月江苏省苏北四地市高三第一次调研英语-阅读C篇 For gardeners who love neatness, autumn is a bit of a mixed blessing. Golden, autumn leaves look beautiful at first, but they soon turn brown and mushy, making many people want to throw them away. However, gardening and wildlife experts say this is unnecessary and even harmful. To those so inclined（有倾向的）, Jon Stokes, the director of the Tree Council, shares his experience. “It’s not necessary. In 35 years of having a garden, I’ve never once swept a leaf, because I’ve never had to. They disappear within a week because the earthworms get them. The garden is completely full of wildlife and my grass has never suffered because of it,” he says, “Don’t take them away and drop them at the landfill, because you’ll have just taken all that goodness out of your garden. If you can’t bear to leave them where they are, get the kids to kick them into a corner, stick them in a pile, or let the hedgehogs（刺猬）and earthworms use them.” While gardens covered with fallen leaves may look like a mess to humans, to wildlife they are a vital source of nutrients and shelter. For an earthworm, a fallen leaf is a snack to be rolled up and pulled down into the soil. For an elephant hawk-moth caterpillar, it is a roof under which to shelter until spring. For a hedgehog, it is a bed to roll around in and turn into a nest. Even for a tree, the leafy covering is a source from which to “drink” during dry periods. Experts offer easy ways to balance neatness and nature. Oliver Fry from Surrey Wildlife Trust suggests piling leaves in dry spots for hedgehogs or wet areas for frogs. Leave some leaf-covered areas for insects, but keep others tidy. If you hate rotting leaves, cut them into small pieces—worms will carry them away faster, boosting the soil microorganisms. Adrian Thomas from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds stresses keeping leaves in the garden instead of landfills. Every gardener’s small effort with leaves can help nature a lot. Leaves aren’t waste; they’re free, natural helpers for healthy plants. 28. What does “a mixed blessing” imply in paragraph 1? A. Autumn is pleasant but sorrowful. B. Wildlife is lovely but harmful. C. Gardening is rewarding but laborious. D. Fallen leaves are beautiful but annoying. 29. What is Jon Stokes’ attitude towards leaf sweeping? A. Favorable. B. Opposed. C. Cautious. D. Unclear. 30. According to Oliver Fry, what should we do with fallen leaves? A. Send them to the landfill. B. Leave them lying around. C. Pile them in certain areas. D. Sweep them up right away. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Leave the Leaves B. Warm the Worms C. Guard the Gardens D. Balance the Balance 2026年1月江苏省苏州市 高三英语-阅读C篇 For decades, computer science students have been taught a central skill: using computers to solve problems. In practice, that has meant programming or writing code to tell a machine how to perform tasks. Now, generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT can write those programs themselves, producing code in much the same way they write essays. A student can ask ChatGPT to write a program that sorts a list of numbers and get a working answer in seconds. This new capability is transforming how computer scientists get work done. Even non-programmers suddenly have the ability to create their own software tools. This may feel like a threat to some coders’ profession. It certainly marks a significant shift for computer scientists and those who educate them. The future of computer science education is to teach students how to master the skill of supervision（监管）. Why? Because the speed and efficiency of using AI to write code is balanced by the reality that it often gets things wrong. These tools are designed to produce results that look convincing, but they may still contain errors. There is still a need for humans to play a role in coding—a supervisory one, in which programmers oversee the use of AI tools, determine if AI-generated code does what it is supposed to do and make repairs to faulty code. But today’s computer science education still focuses on coding as the primary activity. And worryingly, some students are using AI tools to finish their assignments without learning or understanding how the code actually works. Most education doesn’t yet emphasize the skills critical for programming supervision. New developers with less than a year’s experience can actually be less efficient with AI tools than without, because they are missing critical skills and knowledge needed to evaluate and correct what the AI produces. The rise of generative AI should sharpen our focus on what truly matters in computer science education: helping students develop the habits of mind that let them question, reason and apply judgment in a rapidly developing field. As the AI pioneer Herbert Simon once advised: “Learning results from what the student does and thinks, and only from what the student does and thinks.” 28. What can generative AI tools do in programming? A. Teach students how to code. B. Produce code without errors. C. Write programs following instructions. D. Take the place of experienced coders. 29. The author thinks computer science education should primarily develop students ability of______. A. supervising and correcting AI-generated code B. programming or writing code to perform tasks C. coding or decoding speedily and efficiently D. understanding and using AI tools independently 30. How does the author support his argument in paragraph 4? A. By providing statistics. B. By presenting facts. C. By clarifying a concept. D. By making a prediction. 31. What is the author's purpose in writing this text? A. To criticize the traditional teaching approaches. B. To urge a change in computer science education. C. To emphasize the importance of efficient learning. D. To show AI tools cannot replace human teachers. 2026年1月辽宁名校联盟 高三英语-阅读C篇 A groundbreaking study led by Stanford Medicine has revealed that premature babies who listened to recordings of their mothers reading to them exhibited more mature white matter in key language areas of the brain. This research marks the first randomized controlled trial to demonstrate a link between early speech exposure and brain development. The study involved hospitalized premature babies who regularly heard recordings of their mothers reading stories or speaking. At the conclusion of the study, MRI scans showed that a critical language pathway in these babies was significantly more developed compared to a control group of premature babies who did not receive the hearing stimulation. This finding suggests that exposure to mother’s speech can actively promote brain maturation during a critical developmental period. Lead author Katherine Travis notes, “This is the first evidence that a speech experience is contributing to brain development at this very young age. It represents a potentially transformative way to approach neonatal（新生儿）care, with the goal of improving language outcomes for children born prematurely.” The research highlights a common challenge faced by premature babies, who are often born at least three weeks early and may spend weeks or months in the hospital. During this time, they miss out on the consecutive hearing stimulation they would typically receive in the womb（子宫）, which is crucial for language development. The intervention was simple yet effective: premature babies listened to recordings of their mothers’ voices for about 2 hours and 40 minutes each day. Despite the relatively short duration of the study, the effects on brain development were clear and measurable. The study not only provides a practical, low-cost method to support premature babies’ brain development but also opens new pathways for improving neonatal care practices worldwide. By demonstrating that the mother’s voice recordings can enhance brain development, this research offers hope and a concrete strategy to help lessen the risk of language delays often associated with premature birth. 28. What did MRI scans reveal about premature babies exposed to mothers’ voice recordings? A. They had much larger brains. B. Their hearing improved significantly. C. They spoke earlier than full-term babies. D. A key language pathway was more advanced. 29. What does the underlined word “consecutive” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Various. B. Unplanned. C. Continuous. D. Unnecessary. 30. What can we know about mothers’ voice recordings? A. They potentially reduce language delays. B. They are too expensive for widespread use. C. They are effective if played as long as possible. D. Their effect on voice development remains to be seen. 31. Which is the suitable title of the text? A. The Importance of MRI Scans in Neonatal Care B. The Risks of Premature Birth on Language Skills C. What Distinguishes Premature Babies from Full-Term Babies D. How Mothers’ Voice Recordings Boost Premature Babies’ Brain 2026年1月山东省滨州市 高三英语-阅读C篇 Recent holiday seasons have seen children opening toys that can talk back. Toymakers have embraced artificial intelligence (AI), producing robots and teddies that can teach and play with. Older children are glued to AI-enhanced games, while at school, many learn alongside chatbot-tutors. AI promises every child a “bespoke” upbringing once reserved for the rich. A childhood fit for a king could become universal. However, this future is filled with hidden traps. Being accompanied by robots has advantages, especially where teachers are scarce. AI tutors can save children from classes pitched to the median, where bright pupils are bored and struggling ones are lost. Yet, technology creates new risks. AI may generate wrong answers, and chatbots can sometimes coax vulnerable adolescents into harmful behaviors. Childhood may be disrupted most radically by AI when it behaves exactly as intended. The technology quickly learns what its master likes and shows more of it, potentially locking children into “echo chambers”. A child who likes football may be told only football stories by his teddy. This stamps out the joy of unexpected discovery and means a child may never learn to tolerate something unfamiliar. One-sided relationships with chatbots present a similar risk. AI companions that never criticize are poor preparation for dealing with imperfect humans. These “yes-bots” threaten to create children not used to taking turns or compromising. Such individuals may grow up into colleagues unable to work in teams or partners unfamiliar with the give-and-take required in relationships. The long-term challenge is to preserve the socialization that AI could erase. Schools should use personalized tuition where it works, but they must also redouble efforts to teach what robots can’t: to debate, to disagree, and to get along with people who are not as obedient as a chatbot. AI may let every child live like royalty, but the truly privileged may be those whose parents and teachers know when to turn it off. 28. What does the author mean by “a childhood fit for a king” in paragraph 1? A. A childhood spent in a privileged royal family. B. A childhood supported by personalized resources. C. A childhood dominated by advanced robotic toys. D. A childhood free from any academic pressure. 29. What does the underlined word “coax” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Force. B. Trick. C. Assist. D. Argue. 30. What is the author's main concern about AI behaving “as intended”? A. It limits diverse exposure. B. It causes sports addiction. C. It provides wrong answers. D. It lacks enough information. 31. According to the author, what should be the focus of schools in the AI era? A. Improving students’ social media literacy. B. Cooperating with parents to restrict screen time. C. Helping students avoid AI-enhanced entertainment. D. Fostering students’ ability to handle different opinions. 2026年1月山东省济南市 高三英语-阅读C篇 Raindrops are more than a source of fresh water. They also carry mechanical energy that can be used for free. A research team from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has developed a water-integrated floating droplet electricity generator (W-DEG) that uses natural water as part of its structure, offering clean energy harvesting. Unlike conventional DEGs, which rely on solid ground substance and costly metal parts, the new design allows the device to float on water. When a raindrop lands on the floating dielectric film（电介质膜）, the water beneath it provides the strength needed to absorb the impact because of its surface tension. This lets the droplet spread more effectively across the surface. At the same time, the water layer operates as a reliable electrical conductor. This nature-integrated design cuts the device’s weight by about 80 percent and lowers the cost by about 50 percent while maintaining similar electrical output compared to conventional systems. Tests showed that the W-DEG continued to function under diverse temperatures and salt levels, and even in natural lake water. These should be put down to its chemically inert（惰性的）dielectric layer and its naturally flexible water-based structure. To improve reliability further, the team used water’s strong surface tension to design holes that let water move downward. This creates a self-adjusting way to stop water from building up that could affect performance. The system also charged capacitors（电容器）to useful electric tension only within minutes, showing its potential for powering small electronics and wireless sensors. Moreover, with continued development, similar systems could be positioned on lakes or coastal waters, providing renewable electricity without using any land-based space. Although the laboratory results are encouraging, extending the service life of large dielectric films in dynamic outdoor conditions will also require further engineering. “By letting water itself play both structural and electrical roles, we’ve opened the door to land-free systems that can supplement other renewable technologies like solar and wind.” Professor Wanlin Guo, a corresponding author of the study said. 28. What is W-DEG aimed at? A. Improving electrical conductors. B. Generating power from raindrops. C. Increasing power storage capacity. D. Turning raindrops into green energy. 29. Why did the research team design the holes in the W-DEG? A. To make the device lighter. B. To produce more electricity. C. To prevent the standing water. D. To allow water into the device. 30. What is an advantage of W-DEG according to Paragraph 4? A. Easy operation. B. Low construction cost C. Stable performance. D. Rapid charging capability. 31. What might be a direction of the follow-up research? A. Cost reduction. B. Material recycling. C. Durability enhancement. D. Structural transformation. 2026年1月山东省济宁市 高三英语-阅读C篇 Have you ever stared at Vincent van Gogh’s iconic painting The Starry Night and felt like you could almost see the sky moving? Well, it turns out that your eyes weren’t playing tricks on you. A team of researchers has discovered that the swirling（旋动）patterns in van Gogh’s masterpiece actually mirror real-world atmospheric turbulence（湍流）with surprising accuracy! The researchers used some clever techniques to analyze van Gogh’s brushstrokes. They treated the varying brightness of the paint colors as a stand-in for the energy of physical movement in the atmosphere. What they found was astonishing. The patterns in The Starry Night correspond to two important principles in fluid dynamics: Kolmogorov’s law and Batchelor’s scaling. Don’t worry if these terms sound abstruse—let’s break them down. Kolmogorov’s law describes how energy moves from larger to smaller scales in turbulent flows. Imagine a big swirl breaking down into smaller and smaller ones. This is what happens in the atmosphere, oceans... and amazingly, it's what van Gogh’s work seems to represent. Batchelor’s scaling, on the other hand, deals with how small-scale turbulence behaves. The researchers found that the fine details in van Gogh’s brushstrokes match this principle, which describes how substances like heat or pollutants spread in a turbulent fluid. ( ; )Finding both of these patterns in one system is rare, which makes this discovery even more exciting. “It reveals a deep and intuitive understanding of natural phenomena. Van Gogh’s precise representation of turbulence might be from studying the movement of clouds and the atmosphere or an inborn sense of how to capture the dynamism of the sky,” says Yongxiang Huang, the study's lead author. The fact that an artist in the 19th century could capture these complex dynamics so accurately is mind-blowing. This research opens up exciting possibilities for the intersection of art and science. It shows that beauty and scientific accuracy aren’t mutually exclusive—they might be more closely linked than we realize. So, the next time you look at The Starry Night, remember that you’re not just seeing a beautiful painting. You’re witnessing a snapshot of the swirling, turbulent dance of the atmosphere. 28. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “abstruse” in paragraph 2? A. Inappropriate. B. Incomprehensible. C. Inseparable. D. Inaccurate. 29. Which of the following best illustrates Kolmogorov’s law? A. B. C. D. 30. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To stress the significance of the discovery. B. To state the complexity of natural phenomena. C. To applaud the exceptional talent of van Gogh. D. To reveal the limitations of the 19th century artists. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Van Gogh: A Pioneer of Turbulence Research B. Van Gogh: A Talented Artist or A Natural Scientist C. The Starry Night: Beauty Meets Scientific Precision D. The Starry Night: Art Teaches Atmospheric Physics 2026年1月山东省青岛市高三调研英语-阅读C篇 Lions have two types of roar. The newly identified sound is a roar that is mixed in with the recognizable “full- throated roar” of the lions. The study is published in the journal Ecology and Evolution. Researchers from the University of Exeter used artificial intelligence to analyse the roars of animals to determine if there was more than one kind of sound. A total of 1,414 roars were analysed during a two-month study in the Nyerere National Park in Tanzania, which used microphones hidden in trees. Scientists also obtained more than 1,700 roars from collars worn by five male lions in the Zimbabwean Bubye Valley Conservancy (BVC). They found the roar hidden between grunts（呼噜声）and full-throated roars, which was distinct enough to be classified as its own sound. Machine learning methods were able to accurately identify the two roars 95 per cent of the time, data show. “Lion roars are unique and the roaring bout（发作）is an important behaviour,” study author Jonathan Growcott, a PhD student at the University of Exeter, noted. “Not only does it act as a signal to other lions within their pride（狮群）as to where they may be, but, to non-friendly lions, bouts can be used to advertise territorial boundaries. Unfortunately, we are no closer to understanding what the communicative differences of the two roar types may be. But it has long been considered that lion roars may convey information relating to pride size, age or individual.” Lion populations are dwindling. There are around 25,000 animals in the wild in Africa, around half of the number at the start of the century. Mr Growcott added, “Until now, identifying these roars relied heavily on expert judgment, introducing potential human bias. Our new approach using AI promises more accurate and less subjective monitoring, which is crucial for conservationists working to protect. We believe there needs to be a shift in wildlife monitoring and a large-scale change to using passive acoustic（声学）techniques. As bioacoustics improve, they’ll be vital for the effective conservation of lions and other threatened species.” 28. What is the key discovery reported in Ecology and Evolution? A. A distinct type of roar. B. A specific function of roars. C. A territorial marking method. D. A newly discovered “full-throated roar”. 29. How did the researchers distinguish the two types of lion roars? A. By relying on experts’ field observation. B. By applying AI-based analysis to multiple recordings. C. By analysing a number of roars collected in one location. D. By using AI tools to compare roars from different lion prides. 30. What might lion roars act as according to paragraph 3? A. A means intended to aid hunting. B. A signature for identifying a specific lion. C. A tool for expanding the lion pride territory. D. A way to establish a lion’s status in the pride. 31. What does the underlined word “dwindling” mean in paragraph 4? A. On the decline. B. Hard to estimate. C. Under control. D. At a stable level. 2026年1月山东省泰安市 高三英语-阅读C篇 A new research found a systematic review of the available evidence, published in the journal BMJ Public Health. Video gamers worldwide may be risking irreversible hearing loss or constant ringing in the ears—a condition that exists permanently and can't be repaired even with advanced medical intervention. To build an evidence base, the researchers investigated relevant studies and white papers published worldwide. The review included 14 peer reviewed studies from 9 countries in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, involving a total of 53,833 people. The studies involved epidemiological（流行病）observation, the associations between hearing loss and computer or video games and the focuses on gaming centers and mobile devices. Reported sound levels ranged from 43.2 decibels (dB)（分贝）on mobile devices to 80-89 dB in gaming centers while length of noise exposure varied by mode and frequency of access—from daily to once a month, for at least an hour at a time, averaging 3 hours/week. Researchers found that sounds reached levels as high as 119 dB during game play; acceptable exposure limits are around 100 dB for children and 130-140 dB for adults. For children, the allowable noise exposure level is defined as 75 dB for 40 hours a week. Children can therefore safely listen to an 83 dB sound for around 6.5 hours, 86 dB for around 3.25 hours, 92dB for 45 minutes, and 98 dB for only 12 minutes a week, explained the researchers. The researchers therefore concluded that the daily level of sound exposure from video games was close to maximum acceptable levels of sound exposure, and gaming headphones could reach unsafe listening levels, which could place some gamers at risk of forever hearing loss. Further research is essential to inform preventive measures and global policy initiatives, the researchers suggest. There are also several key gaps in the available evidence, for example, the impact of e-sports, geographic region, gender and age on hearing loss. 28. What does the word “irreversible” most probably mean in paragraph one? A. Severe. B. Relevant. C. Incurable. D. Unnoticeable. 29. Which conclusion agrees with the research findings? A. 86 dB is safe for children for 4 hours weekly. B. Adults can safely be exposed to 119 dB for at least one hour. C. Higher sound levels mean longer safe exposure time for children. D. 75 dB allows longer weekly safe exposure than 98 dB for children. 30. What will follow-up research probably focus on? A. Related regulations on video games. B. Sound levels of various gaming platforms. C. Detailed preventive measures on hearing loss. D. Investigation into other factors of hearing loss. 31. Which is the best title for this passage? A. What a Hidden Risk! B. Why Research Gaps? C. How to Protect Hearing? D. Further Research Urgent! 2026年1月山东省烟台市 高三英语-阅读C篇 Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a rice-sized underwater tracking tag（装置）, addressing a longstanding gap in studying small aquatic（水生的）species. The gap has blocked conservation efforts for decades, as tiny creatures often form the base of aquatic food webs but remain understudied due to technological limitations. Biologists have long depended on radio and satellite tags, which revolutionized animal behavior research. Yet underwater tracking of minute species like the endangered delta smelt, a silvery fish about 2.5 inches long, is seriously restricted. Existing tags are too burdensome for their size and need large batteries to make up for the loss of signals in water—a medium that weakens both radio and high-frequency sound waves. Directed by a critical scientific principle that tags should not exceed 2% of an animal’s body mass, PNNL targeted a weight of merely 0.002 ounces for smelt—ten times lighter than a pencil eraser and a quarter the weight of the lightest commercial alternative. PNNL’s new technology combines two key things: micro-batteries that hold vast quantities of electric power and better-designed signal senders. With this, the tag can work for about 40 days—sufficient to track full river migration cycles—and its signal can be picked up from hundreds of meters away. Scientists are already using this tag to study the young American shad, an endangered species threatened by dam construction, with plans to test it on delta smelt by next year. This tag will unlock insights into the small species that sustain entire ecosystems and finally answer urgent questions about where they lay their eggs and migration routes— key to restoring their population amid pollution and habitat loss. Nevertheless, certain issues remain unresolved. Small tags send signals at a higher frequency, but most of the current tools that receive these signals are made for bigger tags that use lower frequencies. However, progress in standards for underwater sound sensors gives a way to create corresponding monitoring systems. 28. What does “The gap” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Few aquatic species. B. Little study on food webs. C. Lack of conservation rules. D. No proper underwater trackers. 29. What’s the distinct characteristic of the micro-batteries in PNNL’s new technology? A. Long-lasting. B. Solar-powered. C. Water-resistant. D. Cost-effective. 30. What does the author highlight in paragraph 5? A. What species the tag targets. B. How the tag can contribute. C. Why aquatic species are conserved. D. How tiny species go extinct. 31. What challenge are the researchers facing concerning the new tag at present? A. Battery safety risks. B. Signal reception mismatch. C. Unstable radio signals. D. Low positioning accuracy. 2026年1月山东省淄博市 高三英语-阅读C篇 Depression has long been attributed to（归因于）chemical imbalances in the brain. Yet, for many patients, standard treatments fail. This has fueled a search for alternative explanations, with the gut（肠道）bacteria emerging as a surprising candidate. Researchers from APC Microbiome, Ireland published a paper in the latest issue of Molecular Psychiatry, arguing that the community of tiny organisms in our gut produces substances that can signal the brain, influencing mood and behavior. Early animal studies were striking—transferring these organisms from depressed individuals into healthy mice could transfer depressive-like behaviors. Human studies soon followed, revealing distinct bacterial patterns in depressed patients. This research birthed the concept of “psychobiotics”: live bacteria intended to improve mental health. Early, small-scale trials reported promising results, capturing public imagination. Headlines declared bacteria as the new mood-improving drugs. However, the path from interesting association to proven treatment is difficult. Larger, more strict trials have produced mixed and modest outcomes. A critical obstacle is the bacterial community’s extreme individuality. What makes up a “healthy” bacterial community varies greatly between people, influenced by diet, genetics, and environment. A supplement（补充剂）containing good bacteria that helps one person may be ineffective for another. This complexity points to a deeper shift in perspective. The goal may not be to simply add a universal “happy bug”. Instead, the focus is shifting toward encouraging a healthy and diverse bacterial ecosystem as a whole. This ecosystem approach acknowledges that mental well-being might be supported not by a single type of bacteria, but by the collective function and stability of the entire community. Therefore, the real potential of this field may not be a simple pill, but a broader approach to mental healthcare. It suggests we view the body as a connected system, in which diet, lifestyle, and gut health are all tied to brain health. This doesn’t deny existing treatments but adds to the options available. Scientifically, the challenge is to go beyond mere links and establish clear cause and effect. For the public and patients, the task is to balance reasonable hope in new approaches with caution toward exaggerated or simplified solutions. 28. Why does the author mention the early animal studies? A. To demonstrate a direct cause of depression. B. To suggest a possible gut-brain influence. C. To highlight a breakthrough in treatment. D.

It was such a good one that you told yourself to remember it the next morning. But, like the memory of your dreams, it fades fast away. One practical step you can take now is to keep a pencil or pad by your bed. Sometimes, you can also carry a pocket notebook so that ideas that strike you while waiting for someone or travelling on a train can be recorded. Later, you can transfer these jottings to your main notebook. Apart from extending memory, the practice of keeping a notebook of those materials has one fairly obvious further benefit. The labor of copying them out gives you occasion to reflect deeply on them. As you slowly write, you have to pay attention to both the exact form and the content of what is being said. The act of writing impresses the words more deeply on your mind. There are two important principles in keeping a notebook as a tool for creative thinking. First, write down ideas in the order they come to you. Give each idea a short title and, if possible, add the date. Do not try to organize everything too carefully, such as putting notes on cards or arranging them in alphabetical order. The second principle is to note down whatever impresses you as stimulating, interesting or memorable. At this stage, it does not matter whether the idea is right or wrong. What matters most is that it interests you. As Shakespeare once said, “No profit grows where no pleasure is taken.” In this form, your notebook is a very useful tool for creative thinking on a variety of subjects that concern you, for this method brings together very diverse materials. When you look through your notebook, you will begin to notice various groups of links and connections. It is the mixing of these unrelated ideas—bringing together things that usually do not go together—that makes your notebook a source of new ideas. 28. What does the underlined word “jottings” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Short written notes. B. Careful long records. C. Personal daily diaries. D. Printed study materials. 29. What is a benefit of keeping a notebook? A. It encourages labor. B. It shifts attention. C. It weakens memory. D. It facilitates thinking. 30. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning Shakespeare’s words in paragraph 3? A. The importance of interest. B. The pleasure of profit. C. The arrangement of entries. D. The impression of ideas. 31. How does the notebook help generate new thoughts? A. By recording one type of subjects. B. By deleting disordered. connections. C. By organizing notes alphabetically. D. By linking unrelated ideas together. 2026年1月重庆市八中高三月考（五）英语-阅读C篇 As social media becomes more easily controlled and AI-driven, ignoring online popularity gains new respect. There are many ways to be “big” online, but not all are equal. An account could belong to a famous brand, represent hard-won fame like Emily Mariko’s on TikTok, or be a trusted expert source like economist Adam Tooze. However, a huge follower account today often means little in terms of genuine engagement; many may be inactive, and low interaction rates reveal this. Furthermore, many large accounts are legacy figures from an earlier era—they are the establishment, not the leading edge. Music producer Jack Antonoff has over half a million followers, while rising musician Marcus Brown has just over three thousand. Which is a better follow? The large number of followers no longer means as much as it used to, as social media are easier to fake and more controlled by artificial intelligence. On the other hand, a noticeably small following now packs a punch. Writer Emily Sundberg praised Air Mail’s new editor for having fewer than 500 Instagram followers. Similarly, stylist Lotta Volkova posts randomly, unconcerned with low likes. This “who cares” attitude shows status; there’s envy for those building careers without social media performance pressure. Overexposure now feels shameful by comparison. When did large followings lose appeal? It’s a post-pandemic（后疫情时代的）shift. During COVID, screen time rose sharply, and TikTok’s system enabled overnight fame. But audience attention has since declined as users move passively rather than seeking specific accounts. Attracting an audience is now “inexpensive”—easy to game. Meanwhile, users migrate to small platforms like Patreon. The follower-followee relationship has become highly commercialized, essentially functioning as advertising space. This very commercialism has trained us to be distrustful of excessive online exposure, making us prefer authorities who maintain a limited social media presence. We are drawn to low-follower accounts that are clearly guided by their owners’ genuine interests. A prime example is the poet Erin Taylor, who has expressed that a modest following often suggests a fulfilling real-world social life, saying that “keeping our follower count down is our own form of discipline.” Consequently, accounts with smaller followings—often under 5,000—are seen as more real. 28. What is a common feature of many huge-follower accounts today? A. They are difficult to manage. B. They often show limited real engagement. C. They always belong to well-known brands. D. They represent leading-edge cultural trends. 29. What does the underlined phrase “packs a punch” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Requires extra preparation. B. Calls for additional promotion. C. Carries a certain weight. D. Needs careful content polishing. 30. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A Large followings lost appeal after the pandemic. B. TikTok caused lasting damage to online attention. C. Audiences have become harder to attract after 2022. D. Small social media platforms will replace traditional ones. 31. What do we know from Erin’s words? A. Keeping a small following requires self-control. B. Social media should reflect followers’ preferences. C. Online connection is more meaningful than offline life. D. Most creators aim to keep their follower count below 5,000. 2026年1月重庆市巴蜀中学高三月考（六）英语-阅读C篇 “Where’s your squeaky ball? Bring me your panda bear!” It’s not unusual for dogs to learn the names of their favorite toys. But some dogs can categorize toys by how they’re used during play, researchers now report. They can even decide what category a new toy should be in, based on how it’s used. And that’s without any verbal or physical clues. The team, led by Claudia Fugazza of Eötvös Loránd University, recruited 11 dogs and their owners to take part in the new study. Each dog was studied at home. First, owners played games with their dogs: either “pull” (tug-of-war) or “throw (fetch).” During each game, the owner repeatedly said the category out loud. Toys were assigned to a category at random. In other words, a toy’s physical traits（特征）did not dictate how it would be used. Game playing continued until the dogs related each toy to either “pull” or “throw. ” Then, owners and dogs played the same pull or throw game with toys the dogs had not seen before. This time, the owners did not name the activities out loud. Next, owners asked their dogs to “bring me a pull” or “bring me a throw” from a toy pile. This tested if the dogs applied the labels based on their play with that toy. These dogs picked a new toy right most of the time. Previous animal studies that categorized things by their use relied on lab settings and formal training. “This is the first study exploring this cognitive skill in animals in their natural environment while making sure the dogs got only social cues（提示）,” Fugazza says. Fugazza says the new study doesn’t show that all dogs have this functional-labeling skill. “But,” she adds, “I wouldn’t exclude that.” Next, researchers may want to explore what other mental categories these dogs can learn, and what brain activities underlie these abilities. 28. What does the underlined word “dictate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Hide. B. Change. C. Determine. D. Contradict. 29. The new-toy games were mainly designed to test dogs’ ______. A. emotional sensitivity B. transferable abilities C. problem-solving speed D. resistance to distractions 30. What distinguishes the new study from earlier ones? A. It involved new toys. B. It excluded social cues. C. It required stricter drills. D. It avoided unnatural settings. 31. What may researchers explore next? A. How else can dogs sort toys? B. Which kind of dogs can label toys? C. Why can some dogs learn toy names? D. What other cues affect dogs’ brain activities? 2026年1月重庆市康德高考模拟调研（二）英语-阅读C篇 You can’t beat a holiday, but would you ever consider going away for just one day? Extreme day trips are a new trend that pack international adventure into just 24 hours. It might sound exhausting, but for lots of people, the appeal lies in time efficiency, budget-friendly prices and the excitement of going somewhere and doing something completely new. It’s possible to zip to cities in your own country to experience new culture, food and geography without ever leaving “home”, though many European extreme daytrippers go abroad. Monica Stott, a travel blogger from the UK, has taken day trips to Reykjavik in Iceland, Milan in Italy and Lisbon in Portugal, all without staying overnight. It all started for her when she flew over to Ireland for work meetings. She told the BBC, “I’d quite often pop over for a one or two-hour meeting and come home. Then I realized I could stay and make a full day of it.” Social media groups advertising extreme day trips are now booming. These groups offer a supportive community for like-minded travellers and are packed with tips and destination ideas. However, it’s not all fun and games. Hours of the day can easily be taken up with long airport transfers, traffic jams, and in many big cities, there isn't enough time to see everything you want to. Critics also point to the environmental cost. Flying significantly contributes to global emissions（排放）and makes carbon-neutral air travel aims, such as the UK’s Jet Zero, much less likely to succeed. If other forms of transport can be used, such as trains, that can be a better alternative for the environment. Train stations are often located in city centres, so you can be right in the heart of the city in much less time. So, if you’re tempted, pack light, plan smart and consider the best way to travel for the environment and limited time you have. 28. What does the underlined word “zip” mean in paragraph 2? A. To close a bag quickly. B. To travel rapidly. C. To explore thoroughly. D. To hesitate about a decision. 29. How did Monica Stott begin taking extreme day trips? A. Through suggestions from social media groups. B. After visiting Reykjavik, Milan, and Lisbon. C. By extending her business trips to Ireland. D. To avoid overnight accommodation costs. 30. What can be inferred about using trains for extreme day trips? A. They are always cheaper than flights. B. Social media groups strongly recommend them. C. They are only practical within the same country. D. They reduce transfer time and environmental impact. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing this article? A. To promote extreme day trips as a perfect travel solution. B. To analyze the benefits and drawbacks of extreme day trips. C. To criticize the environmental impact of short-term flights. D. To encourage travelers to use trains instead of airplanes. 2026年1月重庆市南开中学高三质检（五）英语-阅读C篇 When were the “good old days”? Podcaster Jason Feifer devoted an episode to this question in his program, noting many idealize the 1950s. Yet historians confirm that decade was heavy with issues: uncontrolled individualism, racial and class tensions, and nuclear fears. Meanwhile, people in the 1950s thought the good old days were to be found in the 1920s, when experts warned that rising divorce rates then threatened the family. However, those in the 1920s romanticized the Victorian era, when families were strong and children respected their elders. This kind of nostalgia is sometimes useful —it gives us a sense of stability and predictability —and can also be a source of strength in difficult times. But, why are human beings always so nostalgic for past eras that seemed difficult and dangerous to those who lived through them? One explanation is that we survived the dangers of the past, so they seem smaller now. In contrast, we can never be certain that we will solve the problems facing us today. Another reason is that historical nostalgia is often coloured by personal nostalgia. When people identify the “good old days”, they frequently fall on the time of their youth, for research shows that we create more memories during adolescence and early adulthood than in any other life period. When we think about the past, this is the period we most often return to. While some things were genuinely better in the past, our instinctive nostalgia can lead to dangerous consequences. Longing for the past and fearing the future can be a barrier to what drives progress. As inventor William Petty observed, “When a new invention is first put forward, in the beginning every man objects... not one of a hundred (inventor) outlives this torture.” This was true for vaccinations（疫苗）and railroads, which all met strong resistance, just as anxieties now surround innovations like AI. Not all fears are unfounded; new technologies can cause accidents and disrupt societies. However, the only way to learn how to make the best use of new technologies and reduce their risks is through trial and error. The future will not be perfect, but neither were the good old days. 28. What can we learn from paragraph 1? A. People value family relationships. B. People are ignorant of historic facts. C. People feel bored with their current life. D. People tend to remember the past as perfect. 29. Why do “good old days” happen to be the time of people’s youth? A. It is colored by historical context. B. We face less problems during youth. C. It is the most memory-rich stage of life. D. People have a better memory when young. 30. Why does the author quote William Petty’s words? A. To prove that fears about innovations are unfounded. B. To show that opposition to inventions repeats. C. To stress that inventors often suffer criticism. D. To imply that nostalgia drives development. 31. What is the author’s attitude to nostalgia for “good old days”? A. Critical. B. Cautious. C. Dismissive. D. Appreciative. 2026年1月重庆市高三一诊英语-阅读C篇 Researchers showed people pictures of two knots（绳结）and asked them to point to the strongest one. They couldn’t. They showed people videos of each knot, where the knots turn slowly so they could get a good long look. They still failed. People couldn’t even manage it when researchers showed them each knot next to a diagram of the knots’ construction. The study in the journal Open Mind reveals a new blind spot in our physical reasoning. The experiment is the brainchild of a PhD student in Firestone’s lab, Sholei Croom. Croom, who studies intuitive（直觉的）physics, or what people understand about the environment just from looking at it, suspected knots might be a rare blind spot. “People make predictions all the time about how the physics of the world will play out but something about knots didn’t feel intuitive to me,” Croom says. “You don’t need to touch a pile of books to judge its stability. You don’t have to feel a bowling ball to guess how many pins it will knock over.” The researchers showed participants four knots that are physically similar but have a range of strength. People were asked to look at the knots, two at a time, and point to the strongest one. Participants were consistently incorrect. What’s more, the few times they guessed right, they did so for the wrong reasons, pointing to aspects of the knot that had nothing to do with its strength. The knots ranged from one of the strongest basic knots in existence to one so weak that it can come undone if you just touch it gently. Even between those two, side by side, people couldn’t point to the strong one. The human psychological system just fails to ascertain any physical knowledge from the properties of the knot. Objects that aren’t rigid, such as string, may be harder for people to reason about than solid ones, Croom says. “It’s a nice case study into how many open questions still remain in our ability to reason about the environment.” 28. Why does Croom design the study? A. To test the strength of different types of knots. B. To explore ways in predicting patterns of knots. C. To test the visual judgment of knot strength. D. To measure the intuitive effects of knot tying. 29. Why does Croom mention judging a “pile of books” and a “bowling ball”? A. To list common tasks in intuitive physics studies. B. To contrast easy judgments with the knot challenge. C. To prove that physical reasoning is always accurate. D. To argue for the need to touch objects for judgment. 30. What can be inferred about the participants in the study? A. They performed better when shown turning videos. B. They correctly identified knots based on key features. C. Their correct guesses were not based on relevant clues. D. They lacked any personal experience with tying knots. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A Brief Introduction to Different Types of Knots B. A New Blind Spot in Human Perception Found C. How Intuitive Physics Helps Understand the World D. Why Some People Are Better at Judging Knot Strength ( 第 2 页 共 30 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年1月福建省多地市 高三英语-阅读C篇答案解析 【答案】28-31 ACBD 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过对比手机摄影的“快速捕捉”模式与胶片摄影的“精心构图”模式，结合心理学研究和专家观点，论证了二者是两种不同的观察与创作方式，共同丰富了摄影艺术，而非互相取代。 第28题.A 细节理解与定位。解析：第一段第二句：“However, there is a common misunderstanding that mobile photography... reduces creation to a shallow form of photographic note-taking rather than true art.”（然而，有一种普遍的误解认为，移动摄影……将创作降格为一种浅薄的摄影笔记形式，而非真正的艺术。）关键信息是“shallow form... rather than true art”（浅薄的形式……而非真正的艺术）。这表明误解的核心是认为移动摄影缺乏真正的艺术深度。A项“It lacks artistic depth.”（它缺乏艺术深度）是原文 “shallow... rather than true art” 的同义转述。故选A。 第29题.C 段落主旨归纳。解析：第二段首句引用心理学教授的话，明确指出使用手机和胶片相机时，大脑分别处于“快速捕捉”和“精心构图”两种不同模式。接着，通过功能磁共振研究的具体发现（使用智能手机时与快速决策相关的脑区更活跃；使用胶片相机时与美感和精细手部控制相关的神经网络连接更强）来支撑这一观点。整个段落的核心是在说明，使用这两种媒介进行摄影时，大脑的认知活动和思维过程是不同的。C项 “They involve distinct mental processes.”（它们涉及不同的思维过程）精准概括了段落主旨，故选C。 第30题.B 细节理解与推理。解析：第三段，大卫·约克的原话是：“With a film camera, you must think through everything before taking the picture... This forces you to slow down and truly learn to ‘see’.”（使用胶片相机，你必须在拍照前思考好一切……这迫使你慢下来，真正学会“观察”。）他强调的核心是：胶片摄影的过程迫使拍摄者放缓节奏、进行深思熟虑的观察。B项“Mindful observation.”（用心的/专注的观察）是对 “slow down and truly learn to ‘see’”的完美概括。故选B。 第31题.D 主旨大意概括。解析：通览全文：首段提出对手机摄影的误解，并指出两种媒介是不同的创作方式；第二段从脑科学角度论证其思维过程不同；第三段分别阐述两种媒介培养的不同能力及其价值；末段总结，成熟的摄影师兼收并蓄，二者共同丰富了视觉表达。文章始终围绕 “手机摄影”和“胶片摄影”这两种不同的模式（Two Modes） 展开，并最终统一于 “摄影创作艺术”（Art of Creating） 这一共同目标之下。末句“Together, they enrich our visual expression...”点明了这一主旨。D项 “Two Modes of Imaging, One Art of Creating” （两种成像模式，同一种创作艺术）高度凝练且全面地概括了全文对比与统一的核心思想。故选D。 2026年1月福建省泉州市高三第二次质量检测英语-阅读C篇答案解析 【答案】28-31 BCAB 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是作者通过回忆童年参加自然探索营的经历，以及后来在大学组织类似活动的实践，论证了“亲身参与和实践是形成持久学习和自然连接的关键”这一观点。 第28题.B 细节理解与情感态度推断。解析：原文提到：“At first, I held back from joining him.
