课时分层检测（二十一） Faster, higher, stronger Ⅰ. 阅读理解 A （2026·湖南长沙一模） Like so many other ABCs (American-born Chinese) and younger first and second-generation Chinese immigrants (移民), sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung reached a point in their adult lives when they started to long for the Chinese food they’d grown up on, but found it really difficult to learn how to prepare it. There was such a “representation gap”, as Sarah puts it, in terms of what kinds of cuisines were noticeably featured in those early days of TV celebrity chefs and the emerging food blogosphere (博客圈). As it turns out, though, the Leungs were uniquely positioned to do something about it. Bill, the father, had spent years cooking beef at his family’s Chinese American takeout restaurant. Judy, the mom, was born and raised in Shanghai and had deep knowledge about traditional Shanghainese cooking. Meanwhile, the two sisters had grown up in the New Jersey suburbs, eating their parents’ food, but also growing in America’s own food-obsessed culture. So, in 2013, the Leungs started The Woks of Life. What distinguished their blog from others was that the intergenerational heritage (传承) of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was baked right into the concept—The four family members took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favorites, tapping into their own areas of expert knowledge. Kaitlin is proud that The Woks of Life follows along line of pioneers-folks like Joyce Chen, Martin Yan and Ming Tsai, who first started to bring Chinese home cooking into the mainstream in the US. “We feel proud that we have made a meaningful mark over the past decade, casting light that there’s a huge demand for these recipes,” she says .“It’s about representation, yes, but there’s also a huge demand. Asian Americans look to reconnect with the food of their heritage.” Five years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to find a ton of Chinese recipes in the New York Times food section, Kaitlin notes. Now you can. 1. What do the underlined words “representation gap” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The shortage of Chinese chefs. B. The lack of Chinese food recipes. C. The gap between young and old ABCs. D. The difference between chefs and bloggers. 2. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To prove how unique the Leung sisters are. B. To show why the Leung sisters prefer Chinese food. C. To point out the Leungs’ advantage to start a food blog. D. To stress the Leung sisters’ love for home cooking food. 3. What makes The woks of Life special? A. The concept of baking food. B. The large number of followers. C. The bloggers, way of posting recipes. D. The intergenerational heritage of knowledge. 4. What is the significance of The woks of Life? A. It strengthens bonds between individuals. B. It marks the popularity of Chinese cuisine. C. It has developed many new Chinese recipes. D. It links Asian Americans with their food tradition.

This fancy dream is behind the idea of the 15-minute city, where all basic needs and services are within a quarter of an hour’s reach, improving public health and lowering vehicle emissions. Artificial intelligence could help urban planners realize that vision faster, with a new study from researchers at Tsinghua University in China demonstrating how machine learning can generate more efficient spatial layouts (空间布局) than humans can. Automation scientist Zheng Yu and his colleagues wanted to find new solutions to improve our cities which are fast becoming blocked. They developed an AI system to tackle the tough tasks of urban planning and found it can produce urban plans that outperform human designs by about 50 percent in three aspects: access to services, green spaces and traffic levels. Starting small, Zheng’s team tasked their model with designing the urban area only a few square kilometers in size (about 3×3 blocks). After two days of training, the AI system searched for the ideal road designs and land use to fit with the concept of the 15-minute city and local planning policies and needs. While the AI model has some capabilities that could extend its use for planning larger urban areas, designing entire cities will be more complex. Drafting a neighborhood consisting of 4×4 blocks contains twice as many planning decisions as designing 3×3 blocks, the researchers said. But automating even a few steps in the planning process can save huge amounts of time: the AI model can compute in seconds certain tasks that take human planners between 50 to 100 minutes to work through. Rather than AI replacing people, Zheng and his colleagues think their AI system can work as an “assistant” to urban planners, who could generate concept designs optimized (优化) by the system, and reviewed, adjusted and evaluated by human experts based on community feedback. 5. According to the text, which of the following is NOT a benefit of the “15-minute city” concept? A. Better public health. B. Lower vehicle emissions. C. Decreased access to green spaces. D. Fast and convenient service. 6. Which major issue in cities did Zheng Yu and his team want to address? A. High levels of pollution. B. Limited access to public services. C. Shortage of affordable housing. D. Rising crowding and traffic problems. 7. What can be concluded from the text about the AI model’s capabilities? A. It can design entire cities efficiently. B. It takes longer to train for larger urban areas. C. It can complete tasks much faster than human planners. D. It is limited to planning only a few square kilometers at a time. 8. What’s the best title for this passage? A. Designing better cities with AI B. The 15-Minute City: A Dream or Reality? C. Improving Public Health with Greener Cities D. The Role of Machine Learning in Urban Design Ⅱ. 完形填空 （2026·广州市普通高中毕业班冲刺训练题） I vividly remember the day when my husband and I set off on a new journey to Tanzania.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了年轻一代的美国华裔在做中国菜时遇到的困难以及The Woks of Life博客的诞生。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Like so many other ABCs (American-born Chinese) and younger first and second-generation Chinese immigrants (移民), sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung reached a point in their adult lives when they started to long for the Chinese food they’d grown up on, but found it really difficult to learn how to prepare it. There was such a “representation gap”, as Sarah puts it, in terms of what kinds of cuisines were noticeably featured in those early days of TV celebrity chefs and the emerging food blogosphere (博客圈).(像许多其他在美国出生的华人（ABCs）和年轻一代的第一代和第二代中国移民一样，Sarah和Kaitlin Leung这两位姐妹在成年后也渴望吃到自己从小长大的中国菜，但发现很难学会如何准备。正如Sarah所说的那样，在电视名厨和新兴博客圈早期的那些日子里，哪些菜肴明显受到关注，存在“代表性差距”)”可知，Sarah和Kaitlin是美籍华人，当她们想吃小时候的中式饭菜时，却不知道如何做。由此可推知，Sarah所说的早期电视名厨和新兴的美食博客圈中的“代表性差距”就是没有中餐食谱的分享。故选B项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As it turns out, though, the Leungs were uniquely positioned to do something about it.(然而，事实证明，梁家姐妹有独特的条件来解决这个问题)”以及本段下文的叙述可推知，本段介绍了为什么Leungs一家人有条件创建博客来改变当时人们没有途径学习烹饪中餐的情况。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“What distinguished their blog from others was that the intergenerational heritage (传承) of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was baked right into the concept—The four family members took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favorites, tapping into their own areas of expert knowledge.(他们的博客与其他博客的区别在于，梁家姐妹渴望的跨代知识传承被直接融入了这个概念——四位家庭成员轮流发布食谱，分享各自的最爱，挖掘各自的专业知识领域)”可知，他们的博客与其他博客的不同之处在于，梁氏夫妇如此渴望的知识代际传承被融入了这个观念。故选D项。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Asian Americans look to reconnect with the food of their heritage.(亚洲裔美国人希望重新与他们的传统食物建立联系)”可知，这个博客让亚裔美国人和他们的饮食传统建立起联系。故选D项。 B （2025·湖南郴州三模） 【5~8题答案】 【答案】5. C 6. D 7. C 8. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是中国清华大学研究人员的一项新研究展示了人工智能可以帮助城市规划者更快地创建城市规划设计。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This fancy dream is behind the idea of the 15-minute city, where all basic needs and services are within a quarter of an hour’s reach, improving public health and lowering vehicle emissions. (这个梦幻般的梦想是“15分钟城市”理念的背后，在这里，所有的基本需求和服务都在一刻钟的范围内，改善了公众健康，降低了汽车排放。)”可知，15分钟城市规划可以使所有的基本需求和服务都在一刻钟的范围内，改善了公众健康，降低了汽车排放，只有“降低进入绿地的机会”与首段中的“Imagine living in a cool, green city alive with parks and threaded with footpaths, bike lanes and buses which transport people to shops, schools and service centers in a matter of minutes. (想象一下，生活在一个凉爽、绿色的城市里，公园林立，人行道纵横，自行车道和公共汽车在几分钟内就能把人们送到商店、学校和服务中心。) 所提到的梦幻般的城市梦想相反，由此可知，不是减少了进入绿地的机会，而是机会更多。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Automation scientist Zheng Yu and his colleagues wanted to find new solutions to improve our cities which are fast becoming blocked. (自动化科学家郑宇和他的同事们希望找到新的解决方案来改善我们正在迅速变得堵塞的城市。)”可知，郑宇和他的同事们正在寻找新的方法来改善我们正在变得堵塞的城市，由此可知，日益拥挤和交通问题是他们想要解决的城市中的主要问题。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“But automating even a few steps in the planning process can save huge amounts of time: the AI model can compute in seconds certain tasks that take human planners between 50 to 100 minutes to work through. (但即使是规划过程中的几个步骤自动化也可以节省大量时间：人工智能模型可以在几秒钟内计算出需要人类规划者50到100分钟才能完成的某些任务。)”人工智能模型可以在几秒内计算出人类规划者50到100分钟才能完成的某些任务，由此可知，人工智能可以完成任务的速度比人类设计师更快。故选C项。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Artificial intelligence could help urban planners realize that vision faster, with a new study from researchers at Tsinghua University in China demonstrating how machine learning can generate more efficient spatial layouts (空间布局) than humans can. (人工智能可以帮助城市规划者更快地实现这一愿景，中国清华大学研究人员的一项新研究展示了机器学习如何产生比人类更有效的空间布局。)”可知，人工智能可以产生比人类更有效的空间布局，结合下文中介绍的人工智能在城市规划设计上比人类城市规划设计的优势的介绍和尾段中的“Rather than AI replacing people, Zheng and his colleagues think their AI system can work as an “assistant” to urban planners, who could generate concept designs optimized (优化) by the system, and reviewed, adjusted and evaluated by human experts based on community feedback. (郑和他的同事们认为，他们的人工智能系统可以作为城市规划者的“助手”，而不是人工智能取代人类，他们可以生成由系统优化的概念设计，并由人类专家根据社区反馈进行审查、调整和评估。)”可知，人工智能是城市规划的助手，可以帮助人类更好地对城市进行规划，综合以上信息，本文主要介绍的是利用人工智能可以设计出更好的城市，所以标题“利用人工智能设计更好的城市”符合本文的内容，且概括本文的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。 Ⅱ. 完形填空 （2026·广州市普通高中毕业班冲刺训练题） 【9~23题答案】 【答案】9.
