2026-2027 外刊英语阅读汇编 高三英语二轮阅读理解专项练习（十七） 语篇目录：Passage 1 ：超强台风 “巴威” Passage 2 ：天问二号探测器抵达目标小行星 Passage 3： 全球数据中心面临极端高温考验 Passage 4 ：LV 起诉茉莉奶白引争议 Passage 1 ：超强台风 “巴威” Super Typhoon Bavi, the ninth tropical cyclone of the 2026 Pacific typhoon season, has carved a destructive path across the western Pacific before heading for China’s coastal areas, prompting widespread scrutiny by meteorologists and disaster officials across the region. The storm first developed on July 2 and rapidly intensified within 48 hours. It grew from a tropical depression into an extremely powerful super typhoon monitored by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Its peak sustained winds hit 290 kilometers per hour, making it one of the most powerful storms of the year. Satellite imagery reveals a sharp, well-defined eye wrapped in a symmetric cloud system stretching over 1,000 kilometers. As of July 9, the cyclone had maintained super typhoon status for 108 consecutive hours. Between July 3 and 6, Bavi swept through Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands. Local communities had barely recovered from April’s Typhoon Sinlaku, which destroyed power facilities and left homeless residents living in temporary tents. Bavi’s inner core swept directly over Rota Island, flattening wooden homes, knocking out power across all major islands and flooding coastal roads. Local governments opened fully packed emergency shelters and told residents to stay indoors to avoid casualties. After hitting the Pacific islands, the cyclone drifted northwest toward China’s Taiwan region and the Chinese mainland, bringing compounded natural disaster risks to East Asia. Days before Bavi’s arrival, rare tornadoes brought severe destruction to Hubei Province in central China while widespread floods displaced a large number of residents in Guangxi. Chinese authorities activated a Level IV national flood control response for Zhejiang and Fujian provinces. All fishing vessels were called back to anchorages, sea transport was suspended and coastal scenic spots were shut down to reduce storm losses. Climate researchers link such frequent powerful typhoons to El Niño and long-term global warming. Rising ocean temperatures provide extra energy to strengthen tropical storms, which explains the growing frequency of intense typhoons in recent years. Forecasters warn torrential rains will travel northward after landfall, triggering floods and landslides across multiple provinces extending to Northeast China. Questions： 1.What is the main idea of the whole passage? A. To introduce how scientists measure the wind speed of super typhoons B. To report the power and route of Typhoon Bavi as well as relevant disaster prevention measures C. To explain the connection between global warming and frequent intense typhoons D. To show the serious damage Typhoon Sinlaku brought to Pacific islands in April 2.What can we infer from the data mentioned in the text? A. Typhoon Bavi kept super typhoon strength for more than four full days B. The peak winds recorded by China’s meteorological bureau reached 290 kilometers per hour C. The typhoon’s cloud system spreads wider than 1,000 miles in total D. Rota Island avoided damage because the typhoon’s inner core missed it 3.The word “displaced” in Paragraph 4 most probably means. A. saved from danger B. separated from families C. provided with shelters D. forced to move away 4.Why does the writer mention the Level IV national flood control response in Paragraph 4? A. To prove that China has advanced weather forecasting technology. B. To warn readers that typhoon Bavi will cause huge economic losses. C. To show official practical actions taken to fight against typhoon risks. D. To compare different levels of emergency responses for natural disasters. 5.What is the writer’s purpose of writing this news report? A. To call on people to cut down pollution to stop global warming B. To describe terrifying natural disasters to remind students to stay indoors C. To persuade governments to build more emergency shelters for island residents D. To give a comprehensive objective news report about Super Typhoon Bavi Passage 2 ：天问二号探测器抵达目标小行星 On July 6, 2026, the China National Space Administration released an important official announcement: after an amazing interplanetary journey of about 400 days covering nearly one billion kilometers, China’s Tianwen-2 probe had entered its planned orbit just 20 kilometers away from asteroid 2016 HO3, officially named Kamo’oalewa. The spacecraft has started regular close-range scientific surveys, marking an important shift from long-distance deep-space travel to high-precision nearby observation. Launched by a Long March 3B rocket from Xichang Satellite Launch Center on May 29, 2025, Tianwen-2 carried out carefully planned flight paths to approach this small space object. It captured its first clear image of 2016 HO3 on June 6. The next day, the probe completed orbital capture 30,000 kilometers away and flew on the same orbital plane as the asteroid. By June 19, the spacecraft positioned itself 2,000 kilometers away from its target and activated fully automatic deep-space navigation systems. Throughout the entire approach, its optical navigation equipment greatly refined the asteroid’s orbital data, cutting ground-based positioning errors from hundreds of kilometers down to merely several kilometers. Known as Earth’s most stable quasi-satellite (准卫星), 2016 HO3 circles the Sun while keeping nearly the same orbital speed as Earth. Measuring 30 to 40 meters across and spinning extremely fast, it stands as a well-preserved relic dating back to the early Solar System. Scientists hold that collected samples will help solve puzzles about planet formation, Earth’s water origins, and technologies protecting our planet from asteroid impacts. In the following months, Tianwen-2 will map the asteroid’s surface landforms and analyze its chemical composition to make thorough preparations for sample collection. If all space operations proceed as planned, a return capsule will carry asteroid samples back to Earth in late 2027. After detaching from the return capsule, the main spacecraft will continue its decade-long mission and head for main-belt comet (主带彗星) 311P for further research. Upon completing the sampling mission, China will become the world’s third nation to bring asteroid samples back successfully. Far more than a remarkable achievement in China’s aerospace industry, Tianwen-2’s success will supply valuable cosmic data to global scientists and advance humanity’s deep-space exploration collectively. Questions： 1.Why was July 6, 2026 a landmark day for the Tianwen-2 mission? A. The probe took its first picture of asteroid 2016 HO3 B. The official news of its successful orbit entry was published C. It turned on fully automatic deep-space navigation systems D. It finished orbital capture at a distance of 30,000 kilometers 2.What can we infer from the passage? A. Ground observation once could locate asteroid 2016 HO3 with high accuracy B. Tianwen-2 will finish sending asteroid samples back earlier than 2027 C. The overall mission of Tianwen-2 will last for ten years D. Asteroid 2016 HO3 travels around the Earth rather than the Sun 3.The underlined word “refined” in Paragraph 2 most probably means. A. threw away totally B. made data more precise and accurate C. wrote down information carefully D. worked out brand-new plans 4.How is the whole passage organized? A. Achievement Announcement → Flight Process → Scientific Value → Future Plans → Global Influence B. Background Introduction → Existing Problems → Solutions → Achievements → Future Prospects C.

China has ranked third globally in the field of asteroid sample collection technology D. China’s successful rendezvous with a special asteroid and follow-up mission prospects Passage 3： 全球数据中心面临极端高温考验 Deadly, record-breaking heat waves swept the eastern United States in early July 2026, laying bare a stark conflict between the rapid expansion of AI data infrastructure and the stability of public power networks. Temperatures soared fast by early morning, pushing the heat index to 100 degrees Fahrenheit across major cities from Washington, D.C. to New York City. Residents leaned heavily on air conditioning far more than usual, nearly pushing regional power grids to their breaking limits. To reserve power for households struggling through the extreme heat, the U.S. Secretary of Energy issued an emergency executive order. All large-scale data centers operated under the nation’s biggest grid operator were ordered to disconnect from municipal power supplies and switch to on-site diesel and natural gas generators. This grid serves thirteen states. New York City, by contrast, falls outside its service area and took the hardest hit from widespread blackouts. Roughly 15,000 power subscribers lost electricity when temperatures hit their peak. Northern Virginia hosts the world’s densest cluster of data center campuses. Their massive energy use has sent regional electricity prices climbing sharply over the past two years. While on-site generators ease strain on overloaded public grids, they carry clear environmental downsides. These units discharge airborne pollutants and constant industrial noise, harming the quality of life for nearby residential communities. Beyond urgent power failures triggered by extreme heat, the industry faces persistent long-term climate risks. Authoritative climate research indicates about 79 percent of global data center hardware stands exposed to hazards including heat waves, floods and other severe weather events. AI servers consume far more electricity than older conventional equipment. Cooling systems must run at full capacity on hot days, driving up operational expenses and insurance costs. Leading tech companies have rolled out liquid cooling technology and heat-resistant construction standards to boost server facilities’ heat endurance. Even so, balancing rising computing demands against ongoing global warming remains a difficult, unsolved industry-wide challenge. Questions： 1. According to the passage, why did roughly 15,000 power subscribers in New York City suffer blackouts during the heat wave? A. Local data centers consumed much electricity with their diesel generators B. The city was not covered by America’s largest power grid involved in the emergency order C. Extreme high temperatures destroyed most local power supply equipment D. Local authorities failed to carry out any emergency electricity-saving policies 2. What can we infer about the emergency executive order issued by the U.S. Secretary of Energy? A. It required data centers to cut off public power supplies permanently B. The policy brought about a sharp drop in electricity prices across Mid-Atlantic areas C. Data centers in Northern Virginia refused to obey this official emergency regulation D. The main aim of the order was to guarantee power use for residents amid extreme heat 3. What does the underlined phrase “environmental downsides” in Paragraph 4 most probably refer to? A. ecological strengths and advantages B. negative environmental effects and drawbacks C. restrictions on outdoor architectural construction D. inherent disadvantages in natural geographical conditions 4. Which title best summarizes the main idea of the whole passage? A. The Boom and Wide Popularity of Modern AI Servers Worldwide B. America’s Emergency Policies to Deal with Nationwide Power Shortages C. Extreme Heat Reveals Conflicts Between AI Data Centers and Public Power Systems D. Serious Pollution Resulting from Widely-used Diesel Generators in the United States 5. Why does the author quote the statistic “79 percent” in Paragraph 5? A. To illustrate most data centers globally face long-term climate-related threats B. To prove nearly three-quarters of servers will be replaced by advanced cooling devices C. To argue heat waves are the biggest destroyer of modern electronic hardware D. To criticize technology companies for taking little action against global warming Passage 4 ：LV 起诉茉莉奶白引争议 A landmark trademark ruling has recently made headlines across China. On June 29, 2026, Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court ordered Molly Tea, a popular domestic milk tea brand, to pay Louis Vuitton 10.3 million yuan for the logo infringement. The court confirmed that the tea brand’s four-leaf floral logo bore close similarity to seven officially registered trademarks of LV’s classic floral symbol. As a well-known trademark, the LV pattern qualifies for cross-category legal protection under specific statutory (法定的) conditions. Though its parent company was established in 2020, Molly Tea opened its first store in Shenzhen in 2021. To date, the brand runs over 2,300 domestic outlets and more than 50 overseas branches. Notably, before its large-scale expansion, multiple trademark applications for its floral logo submitted to the China National Intellectual Property Administration were either rejected or still pending. The brand’s continued commercial use of the logo despite potential legal flaws became key evidence supporting the substantial compensation amount. The verdict has triggered widespread online discussion. Many people hold that the judgment complies with China’s Trademark Law, which protects registered trademarks regardless of industry boundaries. Visual similarity may create an association between different brands and dilute the value of well-known trademarks, thus constituting infringement. However, some netizens argue that LV’s iconic pattern is inspired by traditional Chinese Baoxiang floral motifs (宝相花纹), raising doubts about whether foreign brands can monopolize ancient cultural symbols via trademark registration. IP experts offered professional clarification. Traditional floral patterns belong to shared public cultural heritage, while uniquely modified and officially registered commercial logos are protected private property. Although creators may draw inspiration from folk art, copying registered brand graphics for commercial gains violates legal regulations. Molly Tea plans to appeal the ruling. Nevertheless, the case delivers a meaningful lesson for emerging Chinese brands: business expansion must never overlook intellectual property compliance. Only original designs and rigorous trademark research can support sustainable and steady global development. Questions： 1.According to the passage, what directly causes the court to order Molly Tea to pay substantial compensation? A. Its parent company was registered in Shenzhen in 2020. B. It kept using the disputed logo commercially despite known legal risks. C. It owned nearly 2,500 domestic stores and over 50 overseas branches. D. Part of its trademark applications were still under official examination. 2.What does the underlined word “dilute” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. strengthen B. reveal C. weaken D. maintain 3.What can we infer from the whole text about cross-category protection for well-known trademarks? A. It applies automatically to all registered famous trademarks. B. It can be granted only when certain legal requirements are satisfied. C. It forbids enterprises from drawing inspiration from traditional art. D. It aims to stop domestic brands from expanding overseas markets. 4.What is the author’s attitude towards the trademark lawsuit between Molly Tea and LV? A. Objective and neutral B. Doubtful and confused C. Critical and disapproving D. Supportive of domestic brands unconditionally 5.Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A. Molly Tea Plans to Appeal Its Unfair Court Verdict B. The Hidden Value of Ancient Chinese Baoxiang Floral Motifs C. Strict Rules Restrict Global Development of Local Chinese Brands D.
