What if the computers of tomorrow didn’t depend on metal and plastic,but instead grew from the soil beneath our feet?This idea is turning into reality in a laboratory,where researchers at The Ohio State University have found that common fungi—such as shiitake and button mushrooms—can be used to create memory components for computing.
These mushroom-based devices act as organic memristors(忆阻器),short for memory resistors.Unlike traditional resistors,memristors have the unique ability to retain information about past electrical states.When a current flows in one direction,their resistance increases;when it flows the opposite way,their resistance decreases.Even after the power is switched off,the resistance level remains,thus allowing memristors to function like tiny memory units inside a computer.
Mushrooms contain a dense,thread-like network known as mycelium(菌丝体),which can send tiny electrical signals—much like memristors do.To test this,scientists attached wires to dried mushrooms and sent small electrical pulses through them.The results were remarkable:the mushrooms switched between electrical states up to 5,850 times per second with about 90% accuracy.Although their performance dropped under higher electrical frequencies,stability returned when several mushrooms were linked together—suggesting a kind of collective intelligence,similar to how brain cells function together.
Beyond these exciting results,mushrooms come with major environmental advantages.Traditional memristors rely on scarce minerals and require high energy consumption.Mushrooms,however,are renewable,biodegradable,and easy to grow.Their mycelium can also be shaped into custom structures,making them suitable for wearable electronics,smart sensors,and other emerging technologies.
“Everything needed to explore organic computing could be as small as a pile of natural waste and some homemade electronics—or as large as a culturing factory,” said John LaRocco,the study’s lead author.“All of it is achievable with the resources we already have.” In the not-too-distant future,the computers on our desks may very well have taken root—quite literally—in the forest.

C.Gather. D.Analyze.
2.What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning brain cells in paragraph 3?
A.The complex structure of mushrooms.
B.The rapid electrical response of mycelium.

3.What advantages do mushroom-based memristors have according to paragraph 4?
A.They are rare and special.
B.They are smart and powerful.
C.They are creative and productive.
D.They are sustainable and adaptable.
4.What can be inferred about organic computing from John LaRocco’s words?

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2026湖南衡阳高二下期中)
Now,people no longer support animal shows.More and more people think these shows do great harm to the animals,so they are paying more attention to the lives of wild animals back in nature that used to be caught and kept just for performances.
Green Matters,a group that cares about animals,thinks it’s important to let people care about these animals returning to the wild.So it tells a warm and touching story about three former performing dolphins:Johnny,Rocky and Rambo.The story mainly describes their happy and free days after they go back to the open sea.
When the three dolphins were performers,their lives were really terrible.They were kept in small tanks that were no bigger than small swimming pools.First,they lived in a mobile circus(马戏团),touring around the country.Later,they were even sent to a hotel to perform for guests.These gentle animals were always hungry,because the trainers kept them that way so they would follow orders when they had to do tricks like jumping for the crowds.
The trapped dolphins also lost the chance to socialize with other dolphins.They spent 90 percent of their time on the water surface,waiting for orders.But wild dolphins spend most of their time underwater,swimming and searching for food freely.What’s worse,the trapped dolphins were made to do tricks every day,with no rest.All the three were too thin because they were not well-fed,and they often felt anxious and sad.
As is known to all,dolphins can only be themselves fully in the ocean.There,they can make friends with other dolphins,explore the big and blue ocean,play games for fun and live without fear of being forced to perform.
The three dolphins—who were once caught from the wild when they were young—spent three whole years living a terrible life.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Learning about the dolphins,Green Matters took action at once.
The day for the dolphins to go back to the sea finally came.

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了俄亥俄州立大学的研究发现,蘑菇可制成有机忆阻器,具备信息存储功能,且环保可再生,未来可用于新型计算设备。
1.B 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“These mushroom-based devices act as organic memristors,short for memory resistors.Unlike traditional resistors,memristors have the unique ability to retain information about past electrical states.”以及“Even after the power is switched off,the resistance level remains,thus allowing memristors to function like tiny memory units inside a computer.”可知,忆阻器能存储过去电状态信息,断电后电阻水平仍保持,就像存储信息一样。retain意为“存储、保留”,与store意义相近。故选B项。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Although their performance dropped under higher electrical frequencies,stability returned when several mushrooms were linked together—suggesting a kind of collective intelligence,similar to how brain cells function together.”可知,作者意在说明菌丝体网络的协作特性。故选C项。
3.D 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Mushrooms,however,are renewable,biodegradable,and easy to grow.Their mycelium can also be shaped into custom structures,making them suitable for wearable electronics,smart sensors,and other emerging technologies.”可知,蘑菇基忆阻器具有可持续性和适应性。故选D项。
4.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Everything needed to explore organic computing could be as small as a pile of natural waste and some homemade electronics—or as large as a culturing factory,’ said John LaRocco,the study’s lead author.‘All of it is achievable with the resources we already have.’”可推知,探索有机计算所需资源简单,用已有资源就能实现,说明其进入门槛低。故选A项。
Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了中国建筑师刘家琨斩获普利兹克建筑奖。他的设计融合本土元素与人文关怀,巧用再生材料,兼顾民生需求,并将中式哲学融入创作,倡导人与自然共生。
1.stretches 考查动词时态和主谓一致。此处应填谓语动词,且该句陈述客观事实,为一般现在时;主语career为单数,谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填stretches。
2.with 考查固定短语。combine A with B是固定短语,意为“将 A 与 B 结合起来”。故填with。
3.to aid 考查动词不定式。此处用动词不定式作目的状语,表示发明再生砖的目的。故填to aid。
4.and 考查连词。both...and...是固定并列结构,意为“既……又……”。故填and。
5.Completed 考查非谓语动词。此处为非谓语动词作状语,主语“this five-story urban complex”与动词“complete”之间是被动关系,且动作已完成,故用过去分词作状语,首字母需大写。故填Completed。
6.residents 考查名词复数形式。resident是可数名词,意为“居民”。此处指西村大院的众多居民,用复数形式。故填residents。
7.who 考查定语从句。设空处引导定语从句,先行词是“many online users”,指人,且关系词在从句中作主语,用关系代词who引导定语从句。
8.a 考查冠词。空前“city”是可数名词单数,表泛指,且发音以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a。
9.integrating 考查非谓语动词。介词“for”后面需接动词-ing形式作宾语。故填integrating。
10.adaptation 考查名词。此处与名词“coexistence(共存)”并列,作动词“emphasizes”的宾语,需用 adapt 的名词形式adaptation(适应)。
Ⅵ.My Intelligent Robot for the Elderly
As the population ages,the need for elderly care is increasing.My intelligent robot is designed to provide companionship and assistance for the elderly.
My intelligent robot can chat with the elderly,tell stories,and play music to relieve their loneliness.It also has a monitoring function to detect the elderly’s health status and call for help in case of an emergency.Additionally,the robot can help the elderly with simple household chores such as cleaning and cooking,lightening their burden and improving their quality of life.
I hope this robot can bring more warmth and convenience to the elderly and make their lives more comfortable.
Ⅶ.Learning about the dolphins,Green Matters took action at once.They worked hard to help them.They talked to the hotel to free Johnny,Rocky and Rambo,sent them to a safe coastal center and brought in animal experts to teach them how to find food on their own and swim freely again.Caregivers spent hours with them every day,letting the dolphins play and bond with each other,just like they would in the wild.Slowly,the dolphins put on weight,their anxiety faded,and they started to show joy—all ready for the day they could return to the sea.
The day for the dolphins to go back to the sea finally came.The team from Green Matters took the dolphins to a quiet coastal area and gently guided them into the water,where the blue sea stretched endlessly.As soon as they touched the water,the three dolphins swam forward excitedly,leaping high to celebrate their freedom.Their story spread quickly,making more people refuse animal shows.It proves that every creature deserves a natural life,and when we stand up for animals,we’re not just saving them—we’re protecting the beauty and balance of the world we all share.
