B组 能力提升
一、阅读理解
[2026湖南多校联盟期中]
Sudaria,who grew up in Southern California,fell in love with Ravenswood as a Stanford senior volunteering with Barrio Assistance,a student-run tutoring program.She applied for a job as a first-grade teacher in Ravenswood as soon as she graduated in 1998.She's been in the district ever since,working as a teacher,vice principal,principal,and director of human resources and student services.
She was appointed to the permanent superintendent(负责人)in 2020 by the board,facing a seven-figure budget shortage and declining enrollment(入学人数).Then she made the difficult decision to close two of the district's five elementary schools.
She didn't do it alone.“I held 29 community meetings,”she says.At those meetings,she invited parents and anyone else interested in Ravenswood's future to listen as she described the challenges:Student enrollment had declined from 5,085 in 1998 to 2,048 in 2019(last year it was 1,449),and insufficient funding was spread too thin.Then she asked people to weigh in.
One day last year,Sudaria got word that a Ravenswood middle schooler had completed a core academic program at school.“I'm like,‘What program?That's fantastic!’”But when she found out,her heart sank.It was a foundational literacy(读写能力)program.“That's kindergarten through second grade material,”she says.The student had been unable to sound out words like“cat”and“dog”.
In the summer of 2023,she launched the Ravenswood Promise,a listening tour and cooperative process for creating a new strategic plan.The trip to Lindsay came that winter,and in the months that followed,a plan took shape around what Sudaria calls the three rocks:literacy,teacher talent,and attendance—each foundational to student learning.Fixing these areas,she believes,will enable the district to accomplish its central goal:to improve students'academic outcomes.
1.What made Sudaria decide to work in Ravenswood at first?
A.The high salary. B.Her volunteer experience.
C.The invitation from the school. D.Her desire to govern the school.
2.What does the underlined phrase“weigh in”in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Keep silent. B.Give opinions. C.Lose weight. D.Make a phone call.
3.What can we infer from the story of the Ravenswood middle schooler?
A.The students there had weak literacy skills. B.The school education there was very successful.
C.The literacy program was popular among students. D.The middle schooler's achievement excited Sudaria.
4.What is Sudaria's main goal for the school district?
A.To cut more school budgets. B.To increase school enrollment.
C.To build more elementary schools. D.To enhance students'academic performances.
参考答案:1.B 2.B 3.A 4.D
语篇导读:本文是一篇人物传记类记叙文。文章讲述了 Sudaria 从斯坦福大学毕业后,选择在教育资源匮乏的 Ravenswood 学区工作的故事。她通过倾听社区声音、分析学生真实水平,并致力于提升学生学业成绩,展现了其作为教育工作者的责任感和领导力。
高考高频词汇:
volunteer v.自愿做;n.志愿者 apply for申请 position n.职位;位置 challenge n.挑战v.向……挑战
weigh in发表意见;参与讨论 literacy n.读写能力 academic adj.学术的;学业的
outcome n.结果;成果 district n.地区;区域 improve v.改善;提高
长难句分析:
【句1】Sudaria,who grew up in a working-class family in California,fell in love with Ravenswood as a Stanford senior volunteering with Barrio Assistance,a nonprofit that helps low-income families.
【分析】本句主干为Sudaria fell in love with Ravenswood。who grew up...是非限制性定语从句,修饰Sudaria。as a Stanford senior...是时间状语,其中volunteering with...是现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰senior。a nonprofit...是Barrio Assistance的同位语,其后又跟了一个that引导的定语从句修饰nonprofit。
【译文】苏达里亚在加州一个工薪阶层家庭长大,她在斯坦福大学读大四时,作为志愿者在非营利组织“社区援助”(该组织帮助低收入家庭)工作,并因此爱上了拉文斯伍德。
【句2】It was a foundational literacy program for kindergarteners through second-graders,but the student had been unable to sound out words like“cat”and“dog”.
【分析】本句是由but连接的并列句。前半句主干是It was a program,for...是介词短语作后置定语。后半句主干是the student had been unable to sound out words,like“cat”and“dog”是介词短语作后置定语,修饰words。
【译文】这是一个面向幼儿园到二年级学生的基础读写能力项目,但那名学生却无法拼读出像“cat”和“dog”这样的单词。
题目详解:
1.细节理解题。根据第一段Sudaria...fell in love with Ravenswood as a Stanford senior volunteering with Barrio Assistance...可知,她最初是因为志愿者经历而爱上这个地方并决定来此工作,故选B。
2.词义猜测题。根据第三段she invited parents...to listen...Then she asked people to weigh in.可知,她先描述挑战,然后让大家发表意见,故weigh in意为“发表意见”,故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据第四段It was a foundational literacy program...The student had been unable to sound out words like“cat”and“dog”.可知,中学生还在学幼儿园的内容,说明学生读写能力很弱,故选A。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段...accomplish its central goal:to improve students'academic outcomes.可知,她的主要目标是提高学生的学业成绩,故选D。
技巧点拨
·细节理解题:答案通常可以直接在原文中找到,注意定位关键词。如第1题,根据第一段的volunteering即可锁定答案。
·词义猜测题:结合上下文语境推断词义。如第2题,根据前文“邀请家长来听她描述挑战”,后文“asked people to...”可推断是征求大家“发表意见”。
·推理判断题:答案在原文中没有直接说明,需要根据事实进行合理推断。如第3题,通过中学生还在学幼儿园内容这一事实,推断出学生读写能力薄弱。
二、七选五
[2026浙江温州期中]
Achievers—those standing out in science,art,or social change—rarely succeed by accident.Beyond talent,their success comes from mindsets anyone can choose,not just“genius”.
1 Take Nobel Prize winner Tu Youyou for example.Tasked with finding a malaria treatment,she faced scattered ancient books,poor labs,and repeated extraction failures.Yet she persisted—studying traditional medicine,adjusting methods,and testing the drug on herself—finally discovering artemisinin and saving millions.
Another key mindset is learning from mistakes.Everyone errs,but achievers don't stop. 2 Walt Disney's first animation company went bankrupt,and he was fired for“lacking imagination”.But he didn't stop there.He analyzed errors,adjusted his approach,and refined his work. 3
4 Achievers have a clear vision of what they want to accomplish and stick to it,even when progress is slow.Primatologist Jane Goodall aimed to understand and protect chimpanzees.She lived in Africa's Gombe Stream National Park for decades,enduring loneliness,harsh weather,and scientists'doubt,but stayed focused.She changed how the world sees chimpanzees and inspired conservation.
Finally,achievers understand that success is rarely a solo journey. 5 Whether it's a mentor who guides them,a team that supports their ideas,or a community that believes in their mission,these connections provide the strength and resources to turn dreams into reality.
In short,achievers'edge isn't luck—it's mindset:facing challenges,learning from mistakes,staying focused,and leaning on others.
A.Achievers don't let challenges block their way;they embrace them.
B.Many achievers start with nothing but a dream and a lot of hard work.
C.Errors are not failures to them—they are stepping stones toward progress.
D.Holding firm to long-term goals,even in slow progress,matters greatly too.
E.It's easy to step back when difficulties arise,but they choose to move forward.
F.Such persistence in turning setbacks into fuel is what makes his story inspiring.
G.They recognize that reaching their best requires support from people around them.
答案:1.A 2.C 3.F 4.D 5.G
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文,主题是“成就者的特质”。文章通过屠呦呦、华特·迪士尼、珍·古道尔等名人的例子,阐述了成就者共有的几个关键品质:拥抱挑战、从错误中学习、将挫折转化为动力、坚持长期目标以及善于寻求他人支持。
高考高频词汇:
achievement n.成就;成绩 embrace v.拥抱;欣然接受 obstacle n.障碍;阻碍 mistake n.错误
stepping stone垫脚石;进身之阶 frustration n.挫折;沮丧 perseverance n.毅力;不屈不挠的精神
long-term adj.长期的 support v.支持 mentor n.导师;顾问
长难句分析:
【句1】Tu Youyou,who discovered artemisinin,faced countless challenges,from scattered ancient texts to poor lab conditions and repeated failures.
【分析】本句主干为Tu Youyou faced countless challenges。who discovered artemisinin是非限制性定语从句,修饰Tu Youyou。from...to...是介词短语作后置定语,修饰challenges,列举了挑战的具体内容。
【译文】发现青蒿素的屠呦呦面临着无数挑战,从散乱的古代文献到简陋的实验室条件,再到反复的失败。
【句2】This perseverance of turning frustration into motivation is what makes his story inspiring.
【分析】本句主干是This perseverance is what makes his story inspiring。of turning frustration into motivation是介词短语作后置定语,修饰perseverance。what makes his story inspiring是what引导的表语从句。
【译文】这种将挫折转化为动力的毅力,正是他的故事鼓舞人心的地方。
题目详解:
1.考查上下文逻辑。根据本段以屠呦呦为例,讲述她面对困难坚持不懈,A项“成就者不会让挑战阻挡道路;他们拥抱挑战”概括了本段主旨,故选A。
2.考查上下文逻辑。根据本段主题是“从错误中学习”,C项“错误对他们来说不是失败——它们是通往进步的垫脚石”承接上文,解释了如何看待错误,故选C。
3.考查上下文逻辑。根据前文华特·迪士尼的例子,F项“这种将挫折转化为动力的坚持,正是他的故事鼓舞人心的地方”是对该例子的总结,故选F。
4.考查段落主旨。根据本段以珍·古道尔为例,讲述她几十年如一日坚持目标,D项“即使进展缓慢,坚持长期目标也很重要”概括了本段主旨,故选D。
5.考查上下文逻辑。根据本段主题是“成功很少是孤军奋战”,G项“他们认识到,做到最好需要周围人的支持”引出下文对导师、团队支持的描述,故选G。
技巧点拨
·关注段落主旨:段首或段尾的空格通常是主题句或总结句。如第1题和第4题,空格位于段首,需要概括本段内容。
·分析逻辑关系:注意上下文的并列、转折、因果、递进等逻辑关系。如第2题,上文说“成就者不会就此止步”,下文应解释他们如何对待错误,C项“错误是垫脚石”符合逻辑。
·寻找关键词复现:选项中的关键词(如同义词、近义词、反义词)可能会在上下文中出现。如第5题,选项中的support与下文的mentors,teams,communities相呼应。

Passage1
[高考风向·多模态语篇][2026安徽部分学校期中联考]
Cities are where the majority of the population lives.Also,90 percent of global GDP is generated in urban areas.All the essential necessities needed for a human settlement—energy,transport,water,shelter,food,construction materials,green and public spaces,waste management——come together in urban areas.
So there's an opportunity to transform these systems.You can think about getting to net zero from a supply-side part——using renewable,or green,energy for power supply and transport——which is what I think dominates the conversation.But to get to net zero,you need to also shape the demand,or consumption side:reduce the demand for energy.But we haven't done enough research to understand what policies and urban designs help reduce demand in cities.Most national plans focus largely on the supply side.
You also need to figure out ways to create carbon sinks:that is,remove carbon from the atmosphere to help offset the greenhouse gas emissions(排放物)from burning fossil fuels.These three——renewable energy supply,demand reduction through efficient urban design and lifestyle changes,and carbon sinks——are the broad strategies to get to net zero.
How can a city tackle demand?
Reducing demand for energy can be through efficiency——using less energy for the same services.This can be done through better land-use planning and behavior and lifestyle changes.
Transportation is a great example.So much energy is spent on moving people,and most of that personal mobility happens in cities.But better urban planning can reduce vehicle travel substantially.Mitigating sprawl(缓解城市蔓延)is one of the biggest ways to reduce demand for travel and thus reduce travel emissions.In India,for example,Ahmedabad has planned better to reduce urban sprawl.
1.What is the author's advice about net zero besides using renewable energy?
A.Limit our need for resources.B.Add more waste management.
C.Focus less on the supply side.D.Plant trees around settlements.
2.What do heat and O₃belong to?
A.Indirect effects of human-driven and natural activities.
B.By-products of wastes thrown by people in settlements.
C.Gases produced by materials and energy from exports.
D.Natural resources gained from the renewable materials.
3.What is Ahmedabad an example of?
A.Huge sprawl.B.Less vehicle travel.C.Much energy consumption.D.Efficient land-use planning.
答案:1.A 2.A 3.D

Passage2
[2026山东师范大学附属中学期中]
For centuries,people thought that fish did not feel pain or emotions.Now research has shown that fish not only have feelings but can also sense one another's moods.
When a human understands and shares the feelings of another person,this is called empathy.Scientists have found that a chemical in the brain called oxytocin is involved in our ability to connect with others in this way.A basic form of empathy,known as emotional contagion,happens when an individual sees someone else displaying an emotion(such as happiness or fear)and reacts by displaying the same type of behavior.
An international team of researchers tested zebrafish with a series of experiments.First,they placed the fish in two separate tanks and gave one group a substance that caused them to act fearful——either freezing or swimming irregularly.Even though the fish in the nearby tank had not touched the substance,they also began to freeze with fear.“They respond to other individuals being frightened…just like us,”Ibukun Akinrinade,a co-author of the study,told The Associated Press.
The scientists tried the experiment with fish that had been modified so their brains would not produce oxytocin.These fish were much less likely to act anxious when they saw other fish showing fear.If researchers gave them an injection of oxytocin,their ability to empathize returned.
Finally,researchers played videos of fearful fish on one side of the tank and relaxed fish on the other side.Normal fish moved closer to the side that showed the fearful fish,which might have been an attempt to comfort them.The modified fish did not move toward either side.
Looking at the normal fish's brains,researchers saw activity in a region similar to the one humans and other mammals use when empathizing with others.This could mean that the ability to have empathy developed more than 350 million years ago,when fish and mammals shared a common ancestor.Next,researchers want to study whether fish also transfer positive emotions to one another.
4.What does the underlined phrase“emotional contagion”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The ability to control one's own emotions when others are emotional.
B.The process of sharing and reflecting others'emotions unconsciously.
C.The tendency to hide one's true feelings to avoid affecting others.
D.The capacity to understand the root cause of others'emotions.
5.What is Ibukun Akinrinade's view on fish empathy?
A.Fish empathy is limited to negative emotions like fear.
B.Zebrafish are the only fish species capable of empathy.
C.Fish empathy is stronger than that of humans and other mammals.
D.The emotional response of fish is comparable to that of humans.
6.What did the researchers find about the modified zebrafish?
A.They could still sense fear in other fish without oxytocin.
B.They showed increased anxiety when injected with oxytocin.
C.They failed to respond to videos of either fearful or relaxed fish.
D.They moved closer to fearful fish to comfort them intentionally.
7.What can be the best title of the text?
A.More than Feelings:How Fish Share Emotions B.From Fear to Comfort:The Social Lives of Fish
C.The Ancient Roots of Empathy:Evidence from Fish D.A New Discovery:The Emotional World of Zebrafish
答案:4.B 5.D 6.C 7.C
语篇导读:本文是一篇科普说明文,介绍了关于鱼类是否具有“共情”能力的科学研究。文章通过实验(观察鱼对同伴痛苦的反应、转基因鱼的对比实验)得出结论:鱼类也具有共情能力,且这种能力的起源可以追溯到3.5亿年前。
高考高频词汇:
empathy n.共情;同感 unconscious adj.无意识的 reflect v.反映;反射 behavior n.行为
comparable adj.可比较的;类似的 modify v.修改;修饰 gene n.基因 evidence n.证据
develop v.发展;形成 origin n.起源;源头
题目详解:
4.词义猜测题。根据第二段...reacts by displaying the same type of behavior.可知,这是无意识分享和反映他人情绪的过程,故选B。
5.推理判断题。根据第三段...just like us...可知,他认为鱼的反应与人类有可比性,故选D。
6.细节理解题。根据第五段The modified fish did not move toward either side.可知,转基因鱼对两种视频都没反应,故选C。
7.主旨大意题。根据最后一段...ability to have empathy developed more than 350 million years ago...可知,文章讲的是共情的古老根源及鱼的证据,故选C。
技巧点拨
·词义猜测题:根据上下文解释或举例推断词义。如第4题,根据后文“反映他人的情绪”可推断empathy意为“共情”。
·推理判断题:根据作者的表述进行推断。如第5题,根据“just like us”可推断作者认为鱼的反应与人类有可比性。
·主旨大意题:通读全文,抓住文章的核心话题。如第7题,本文主要讲鱼的共情能力及其古老起源,故选C。

Sudaria,who grew up in Southern California,fell in love with Ravenswood as a Stanford senior volunteering
with Barrio Assistance,a student-run tutoring program.She applied for a job as a first-grade teacher in Ravenswood
as soon as she graduated in 1998.She's been in the district ever since,working as a teacher,vice
principal,principal,and director of human resources and student services.
She was appointed to the permanent superintendent()in 2020 by the board,facing a seven-figure budget
shortage and declining enrollment().Then she made the difficult decision to close two of the district's five
elementary schools.
She didn't do it alone."I held 29 community meetings,"she says.At those meetings,she invited parents and
anyone else interested in Ravenswood's future to listen as she described the challenges:Student enrollment had
declined from 5,085 in 1998 to 2,048 in 2019(last year it was 1,449),and insufficient funding was spread too
thin.Then she asked people to weigh in.
One day last year,Sudaria got word that a Ravenswood middle schooler had completed a core academic
program at school I'm like,'What program?That's fantastic!"But when she found out,her heart sank.It was a
foundational literacy(读写能力)program.“That's kindergarten through second grade material,,"she says..The student
had been unable to sound out words like"cat"'and"dog".
In the summer of 2023,she launched the Ravenswood Promise,a listening tour and cooperative process for
creating a new strategic plan.The trip to Lindsay came that winter,and in the months that followed,a plan took shape
英语练习题第2页共6页
around what Sudaria calls the three rocks:literacy teacher talent and attendance-each foundational to student
learning.Fixing these areas,she believes,will enable the district to accomplish its central goal:to improve
students'academic outcomes.
1.What made Sudaria decide to work in Ravenswood at first?
A.The high salary.
B.Her volunteer experience.
C.The invitation from the school.
D.Her desire to govern the school.
2.What does the underlined phrase"weigh in"in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Keep silent.
B.Give opinions
C.Lose weight.
D.Make a phone call
3.What can we infer from the story of the Ravenswood middle schooler?
A.The students there had weak literacy skills
B.The school education there was very successful.
C.The literacy program was popular among students.
D.The middle schooler's achievement excited Sudaria.
4.What is Sudaria's main goal for the school district?
A.To cut more school budgets.
B.To increase school enrollment.
C.To build more elementary schools.
D.To enhance students'academic performances.
二、七选五
[2026浙江温州期中]
Achievers-those standing out in science,art,or social change-rarely succeed by accident.Bey ond talent,their
success comes from mindsets anyone can choose,not just"genius".
1 Take Nobel Prize winner Tu Youy ou for example.Tasked with finding a malaria treatment,she faced
scattered ancient books,poor labs,and repeated extraction failures.Yet she persisted-studying traditional
medicine,adjusting methods,and testing the drug on herselffinally discovering artemisinin and saving millions.
Another key mindset is learning from mistakes.Everyone errs,but achievers don't stop.2 Walt Disney's
first animation company went bankrupt,and he was fired for"lacking imagination".But he didn't stop there.He
analyzed errors,adjusted his approach,and refined his work.3
4 Achievers have a clear vision of what they want to accomplish and stick to it,even when progress is
slow.Primatologist Jane Goodall aimed to understand and protect chimpanzees.She lived in Africa's Gombe Stream
National Park for decades,enduring loneliness,harsh weather,and scientists'doubt,but stayed focused.She changed
how the world sees chimpanzees and inspired conservation.
Finally,achievers understand that success is rarely a solo journey.5 Whether it's a mentor who guides
them,a team that supports their ideas,or a community that believes in their mission,these connections provide the
strength and resources to turn dreams into reality
In short,achievers'edge isn't luck-it's mindset:facing challenges,learning from mistakes,staying focused,and
leaning on others.
A.Achievers don't let challenges block their way;they embrace them.
B.Many achievers start with nothing but a dream and a lot of hard work.
C.Errors are not failures to them-they are stepping stones toward progress.
D.Holding firm to long-term goals,even in slow progress,matters greatly too.
EIt's easy to step back when difficulties arise,but they choose to move forward.
F.Such persistence in tuming setbacks into fuel is what makes his story inspiring.
G.They recognize that reaching their best requires support from people around them.

[2026湖南多校联盟期中]
Sudaria,who grew up in Southern California,fell in love with Ravenswood as a Stanford senior volunteering with Barrio Assistance,a student-run tutoring program.She applied for a job as a first-grade teacher in Ravenswood as soon as she graduated in 1998.She's been in the district ever since,working as a teacher,vice principal,principal,and director of human resources and student services.
She was appointed to the permanent superintendent(负责人)in 2020 by the board,facing a seven-figure budget shortage and declining enrollment(入学人数).Then she made the difficult decision to close two of the district's five elementary schools.
She didn't do it alone.“I held 29 community meetings,”she says.At those meetings,she invited parents and anyone else interested in Ravenswood's future to listen as she described the challenges:Student enrollment had declined from 5,085 in 1998 to 2,048 in 2019(last year it was 1,449),and insufficient funding was spread too thin.Then she asked people to weigh in.
One day last year,Sudaria got word that a Ravenswood middle schooler had completed a core academic program at school.“I'm like,‘What program?That's fantastic!’”But when she found out,her heart sank.It was a foundational literacy(读写能力)program.“That's kindergarten through second grade material,”she says.The student had been unable to sound out words like“cat”and“dog”.
In the summer of 2023,she launched the Ravenswood Promise,a listening tour and cooperative process for creating a new strategic plan.The trip to Lindsay came that winter,and in the months that followed,a plan took shape around what Sudaria calls the three rocks:literacy,teacher talent,and attendance—each foundational to student learning.Fixing these areas,she believes,will enable the district to accomplish its central goal:to improve students'academic outcomes.
1.What made Sudaria decide to work in Ravenswood at first?
A.The high salary. B.Her volunteer experience.
C.The invitation from the school. D.Her desire to govern the school.
2.What does the underlined phrase“weigh in”in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Keep silent. B.Give opinions. C.Lose weight. D.Make a phone call.
3.What can we infer from the story of the Ravenswood middle schooler?
A.The students there had weak literacy skills. B.The school education there was very successful.
C.The literacy program was popular among students. D.The middle schooler's achievement excited Sudaria.
4.What is Sudaria's main goal for the school district?
A.To cut more school budgets. B.To increase school enrollment.
C.To build more elementary schools. D.To enhance students'academic performances.
二、七选五
[2026浙江温州期中]
Achievers—those standing out in science,art,or social change—rarely succeed by accident.Beyond talent,their success comes from mindsets anyone can choose,not just“genius”.
1 Take Nobel Prize winner Tu Youyou for example.Tasked with finding a malaria treatment,she faced scattered ancient books,poor labs,and repeated extraction failures.Yet she persisted—studying traditional medicine,adjusting methods,and testing the drug on herself—finally discovering artemisinin and saving millions.
Another key mindset is learning from mistakes.Everyone errs,but achievers don't stop. 2 Walt Disney's first animation company went bankrupt,and he was fired for“lacking imagination”.But he didn't stop there.He analyzed errors,adjusted his approach,and refined his work. 3
4 Achievers have a clear vision of what they want to accomplish and stick to it,even when progress is slow.Primatologist Jane Goodall aimed to understand and protect chimpanzees.She lived in Africa's Gombe Stream National Park for decades,enduring loneliness,harsh weather,and scientists'doubt,but stayed focused.She changed how the world sees chimpanzees and inspired conservation.
Finally,achievers understand that success is rarely a solo journey. 5 Whether it's a mentor who guides them,a team that supports their ideas,or a community that believes in their mission,these connections provide the strength and resources to turn dreams into reality.
In short,achievers'edge isn't luck—it's mindset:facing challenges,learning from mistakes,staying focused,and leaning on others.
A.Achievers don't let challenges block their way;they embrace them.
B.Many achievers start with nothing but a dream and a lot of hard work.
C.Errors are not failures to them—they are stepping stones toward progress.
D.Holding firm to long-term goals,even in slow progress,matters greatly too.
E.It's easy to step back when difficulties arise,but they choose to move forward.
F.Such persistence in turning setbacks into fuel is what makes his story inspiring.
G.They recognize that reaching their best requires support from people around them.

Passage1
[高考风向·多模态语篇][2026安徽部分学校期中联考]
Cities are where the majority of the population lives.Also,90 percent of global GDP is generated in urban areas.All the essential necessities needed for a human settlement—energy,transport,water,shelter,food,construction materials,green and public spaces,waste management——come together in urban areas.
So there's an opportunity to transform these systems.You can think about getting to net zero from a supply-side part——using renewable,or green,energy for power supply and transport——which is what I think dominates the conversation.But to get to net zero,you need to also shape the demand,or consumption side:reduce the demand for energy.But we haven't done enough research to understand what policies and urban designs help reduce demand in cities.Most national plans focus largely on the supply side.
You also need to figure out ways to create carbon sinks:that is,remove carbon from the atmosphere to help offset the greenhouse gas emissions(排放物)from burning fossil fuels.These three——renewable energy supply,demand reduction through efficient urban design and lifestyle changes,and carbon sinks——are the broad strategies to get to net zero.
How can a city tackle demand?
Reducing demand for energy can be through efficiency——using less energy for the same services.This can be done through better land-use planning and behavior and lifestyle changes.
Transportation is a great example.So much energy is spent on moving people,and most of that personal mobility happens in cities.But better urban planning can reduce vehicle travel substantially.Mitigating sprawl(缓解城市蔓延)is one of the biggest ways to reduce demand for travel and thus reduce travel emissions.In India,for example,Ahmedabad has planned better to reduce urban sprawl.
1.What is the author's advice about net zero besides using renewable energy?
A.Limit our need for resources.B.Add more waste management.
C.Focus less on the supply side.D.Plant trees around settlements.
2.What do heat and O₃belong to?
A.Indirect effects of human-driven and natural activities.
B.By-products of wastes thrown by people in settlements.
C.Gases produced by materials and energy from exports.
D.Natural resources gained from the renewable materials.
3.What is Ahmedabad an example of?
A.Huge sprawl.B.Less vehicle travel.C.Much energy consumption.D.Efficient land-use planning.
Passage2
[2026山东师范大学附属中学期中]
For centuries,people thought that fish did not feel pain or emotions.Now research has shown that fish not only have feelings but can also sense one another's moods.
When a human understands and shares the feelings of another person,this is called empathy.Scientists have found that a chemical in the brain called oxytocin is involved in our ability to connect with others in this way.A basic form of empathy,known as emotional contagion,happens when an individual sees someone else displaying an emotion(such as happiness or fear)and reacts by displaying the same type of behavior.
An international team of researchers tested zebrafish with a series of experiments.First,they placed the fish in two separate tanks and gave one group a substance that caused them to act fearful——either freezing or swimming irregularly.Even though the fish in the nearby tank had not touched the substance,they also began to freeze with fear.“They respond to other individuals being frightened…just like us,”Ibukun Akinrinade,a co-author of the study,told The Associated Press.
The scientists tried the experiment with fish that had been modified so their brains would not produce oxytocin.These fish were much less likely to act anxious when they saw other fish showing fear.If researchers gave them an injection of oxytocin,their ability to empathize returned.
Finally,researchers played videos of fearful fish on one side of the tank and relaxed fish on the other side.Normal fish moved closer to the side that showed the fearful fish,which might have been an attempt to comfort them.The modified fish did not move toward either side.
Looking at the normal fish's brains,researchers saw activity in a region similar to the one humans and other mammals use when empathizing with others.This could mean that the ability to have empathy developed more than 350 million years ago,when fish and mammals shared a common ancestor.Next,researchers want to study whether fish also transfer positive emotions to one another.
4.What does the underlined phrase“emotional contagion”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The ability to control one's own emotions when others are emotional.
B.The process of sharing and reflecting others'emotions unconsciously.
C.The tendency to hide one's true feelings to avoid affecting others.
D.The capacity to understand the root cause of others'emotions.
5.What is Ibukun Akinrinade's view on fish empathy?
A.Fish empathy is limited to negative emotions like fear.
B.Zebrafish are the only fish species capable of empathy.
C.Fish empathy is stronger than that of humans and other mammals.
D.The emotional response of fish is comparable to that of humans.
6.What did the researchers find about the modified zebrafish?
A.They could still sense fear in other fish without oxytocin.
B.They showed increased anxiety when injected with oxytocin.
C.They failed to respond to videos of either fearful or relaxed fish.
D.They moved closer to fearful fish to comfort them intentionally.
7.What can be the best title of the text?
A.More than Feelings:How Fish Share Emotions B.From Fear to Comfort:The Social Lives of Fish
C.The Ancient Roots of Empathy:Evidence from Fish D.A New Discovery:The Emotional World of Zebrafish
