(2026·河北石家庄模拟)Gukesh Dommaraju, from Chennai, India, has been playing chess since he was about 7 years old and turned professional at 10.By 12, he became a chess grandmaster, the highest title a chess player can reach.Over the last few years, he has had numerous successes.In April 2024, he emerged victorious in the Candidates Tournament, qualifying him to challenge the world champion, Ding Liren.
The world chess champion is decided by a series of 14 games between the champion and the challenger.Players earn 1 point for winning a game and a half point for every drawn(tied) game.To win, a player must earn 7.5 points.
Even though Ding was the world champion, many people thought Gukesh might win, as Ding had been struggling, with no wins since January.Despite this, Ding quickly took the lead by winning the first game.However, Gukesh began to play better, winning Game 3 and continuing to perform well.The players tied every game after that until Gukesh won Game 11.Ding then took Game 12.After Game 13 ended in a draw, the match was tied at 7.5 points each, setting up the final game as the decider.In the last game, Gukesh and Ding played for almost five hours.
On the 55th move, Ding made a serious mistake, which left him “totally in shock”.This allowed Gukesh to exchange some pieces and gain an advantage, leading to his victory.Ding congratulated the new champion, and Gukesh was so happy that he cried.
Many people have congratulated Gukesh on his victory.Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that Gukesh's victory had “inspired millions of young minds to dream big”.
Despite being the world champion, Gukesh remains focused on improving his game.“Becoming the world champion does not mean I am the best player,” he said.He hopes one day to be as strong a chess player as Magnus Carlsen, who was world champion for 10 years and is still ranked No.1 in the world.

B
(2026·河北邯郸质量检测)On a peaceful summer morning, a field of popular trees sway (摇摆) in the wind, and insects buzz around.At first sight, the scene seems calm, but the trees are actually under attack.Insects are feeding on their leaves, and the trees are defending themselves.
Though plants can't run or hide, they have developed ways to fight back.When an insect begins to bite a leaf, the tree mounts defenses.It also quickly messages its neighbors:“We're under attack! Get your defenses ready!” It even produces chemicals to repel (驱赶) the attackers and may attract other insects to help.These responses happen without us noticing,but scientists are discovering that plants can do things we once thought only animals could do.They communicate with each other, and form memories—all without a brain.
Research has shown that plants can communicate in complex ways.In the 1980s, scientists discovered that injured trees could warn nearby trees of danger.When one tree was damaged, it made chemicals that sent a signal through the air to the others.This led to the idea of “talking” plants, opening up the field of plant communication.
Plants can also learn and form memories.In one experiment, a plant called Mimosa pudica stopped reacting to harmless drops after repeated exposure.This suggests that plants can remember and adapt to their environment, even without a nervous system.
These discoveries show plants are able to do far more than meets our eyes.But does this mean that plants are intelligent? Some scientists think so.Others are not so sure.The problem may trace (追溯) to how we define words like “thinking” and “intelligence”.Elizabeth Van Volkenburgh, a plant biologist at the University of Washington, likes the term neurobiology (神经生物学).Technically, a plant lacks nerves.Still, it has a sensory system.But some scientists think the idea is a hard sell.After all, plants don't have nervous systems.Even now, this idea raises questions.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了植物在受到昆虫攻击时的自我防御方式,以及植物能够相互交流、学习和形成记忆等现象,由此引出关于植物是否有智慧的讨论。
5.How does a tree defend itself against an insect attack?
A.By releasing chemicals.
B.By turning to the sunshine.
C.By forming memories.
D.By using warm air currents.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It also quickly messages its neighbors:‘We're under attack! Get your defenses ready!’ It even produces chemicals to repel (驱赶) the attackers and may attract other insects to help.”可知,当树木受到昆虫攻击时,它甚至会产生化学物质来驱赶攻击者,所以树木通过释放化学物质来抵御昆虫的攻击。故选A。
答案 A
6.Why is the plant Mimosa pudica mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To erase some doubts.
B.To support an opinion.
C.To praise researchers.
D.To make a comparison.

答案 B
7.What can we infer about these discoveries?
A.They lack conclusive proof.
B.They fuel a big debate in biology.
C.They share little common ground.
D.They inspire ideas about human health.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,对于植物是否有智慧这一问题,一些科学家认为是,而另一些科学家不确定,并且对于如何定义“思考”和“智慧”存在争议,关于植物是否有神经生物学方面的能力也存在不同看法。由此可推知,这些发现引发了生物学领域的一场大辩论。故选B。
答案 B
8.Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A.Is Wildlife Sensitive?
B.How Do Nervous Systems Work?
C.Are Plants Intelligent?
D.How Do Trees Survive Hot Weather?
解析 标题归纳题。纵览全文,文章开篇描述了树木在受到昆虫攻击时的自我防御以及与邻居的交流,接着介绍了植物能够相互交流、学习和形成记忆等现象,然后在最后一段引出关于植物是否有智慧的讨论。所以文章主要围绕植物是否有智慧展开。故选C。

(2025·湖北武汉模拟)In a paper published on March 13 in Science, researchers at Stanford University used machine learning to analyze data of ice movements in Antarctica for the first time.Their work reveals some of the fundamental physics governing the movements of the Antarctic ice sheet and could help improve predictions about how the continent will change in the future.
The Antarctic ice sheet, Earth's largest ice mass and nearly twice the size of Australia, keeps sea levels stable by storing freshwater as ice.To understand the movement of the Antarctic ice sheet, which is shrinking more rapidly every year, existing models have typically relied on assumptions about ice's mechanical behavior from lab experiments.
“But Antarctica's ice is much more complicated than what can be reproduced in the lab,” said ChingYao Lai, a professor of geophysics in the university and senior author on the paper.“Ice formed from seawater has different properties, and ice sheets may contain large cracks, air pockets, or other inconsistencies that affect movement.”
Lai and her colleagues built a machine learning model to analyze the movements with satellite imagery and airplane radar.They found that the parts of the ice shelves closest to the continent are being compressed (压缩) and that the models in these areas are fairly consistent with lab experiments.However, most models have assumed that Antarctic ice has the same physical properties in all directions.
In fact, as ice gets farther from the continent, it starts to be pulled out to sea.The force causes the ice to have different physical properties in different directions—a concept called anisotropy (各向异性).“Our study uncovers that most of the ice shelf is anisotropic,” said first study author Yongji Wang, a researcher in Lai's lab.“Ice in the 5% compression zone almost has the same property while for the rest—the extension zone, it is not the case.Now based on this new method, we know that models predicting the future evolution of Antarctica should be anisotropic.”
Next, researchers intend to continue to perfect their analysis with additional data from the Antarctic continent and may use these findings to understand the stresses that may cause cracks.They hope their methods will assist with more scientific discoveries and lead to new cooperation with the Earth science community.

A.They rely too much on the data from satellites.
B.They stress the impact of air pockets and cracks.
C.They ignore the different properties in Antarctic ice.
D.They fail to measure the size of the Antarctic ice sheet.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段以及第四段中“However, most models have assumed that Antarctic ice has the same physical properties in all directions.”可知,现有的冰运动模型不够准确是因为它们忽略了南极冰的不同特性。故选C。
答案 C
11.What is indicated in the underlined sentence?
A.Ice behaves variably in all directions.
B.Most ice shelves are in the extension zone.
C.Ice in compression zone matches lab results.
D.Ice shelves are pulled out of the continent to sea.
解析 推理判断题。根据第五段可知,现在的研究发现冰架是各向异性的,也就是冰在各个方向上的表现是不同的,5%压缩区的冰几乎具有相同的特性,而其余的——延伸区,冰在各个方向上的表现是可变的。故选A。
答案 A
12.What can be inferred about the researchers' future plans?

Ⅱ.七选五
(2026·河南许昌名校模拟)School is probably the best place to expand your academic knowledge, but when it comes to learning about life, there is nothing more enriching than travelling.Travelling provides more valuable life lessons than school, because instead of being told something, you experience it. 13
Travelling forces you out of your comfort zone.
School is a place where you usually feel safe. 14 It pushes you out of your comfort zone.And it is a good thing, because it will help you grow as a person.
15
Travelling gives you a new view on how you live.You might be able to read about different ways of life in a textbook, but experiencing it for yourself offers a whole dimension of learning and understanding that can only really be achieved through travelling.
Travelling helps you build confidence.
When you travel to a new place, you learn how to become independent and how to fit into this new life. 16 With travel come challenges, and the more challenges you take on and overcome, the greater your confidence will grow.
You will learn how to be comfortable with uncertainty and the unexpected.
Travel teaches you that the unexpected is rarely as bad as you think.Learning to go with the flow and be flexible in life is probably one of the best lessons you can learn because life doesn't go as planned. 17
A.Travelling disconnects you from your daily routine.
B.Travelling allows you to see and experience new ways of life.
C.Here are four reasons why travelling is such a valuable learning experience.
D.You really surprise yourself and accomplish things you never thought you could do.
E.However, travelling means new foods, cultures, languages, people, and places to explore.
F.Eventually, you become used to the uncertainty and the unexpected challenges that come your way.
G.Once you actually go and visit, you may even challenge your own opinion about less known places and cultures.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了旅游的好处。
13.C 根据空处上文可知,第一段从平时的学校生活切入、引出旅游是很有价值的学习经历。本段最后一句应是进一步引出下文内容:介绍旅游的好处。故选C。
14.E 根据上文“School is a place where you usually feel safe.”可知,本句与上一句存在对比关系。上句说到学校是一个你会感觉安全的地方,本句说旅游意味着接触新的事物。同时本句与下句存在指代关系,“it”指的是本句中的“traveling”。故选E。
15.B 根据空处下文内容可知,本段讲述的是旅游让你感受到书本上无法体验到的全新生活。故选B。
16.D 根据上文“When you travel to a new place, you learn how to become independent and how to fit into this new life.”可知,本句承接上文,说明去新地方旅行所带来的感受。故选D。
17.F 根据上文“Travel teaches you that the unexpected is rarely as bad as you think.Learning to go with the flow and be flexible in life is probably one of the best lessons you can learn because life doesn't go as planned.”可知,本句为本段最后一句,说明因为生活并不像计划的那样,所以要学会习惯不确定和挑战。故选F。
