Ⅰ.阅读理解
[2026吉林长春月考]
When visiting a doctor in the future, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself.
This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be shown on a physician's comput-
er screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will assist the doctor to make an accurate diagnosis(诊断)
and provide personalized treatments for the patients.
No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) al-
ready use computer simulations(模拟) of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disor-
der. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone's real heart.
Digital twins are starting to be seen everywhere. They can not only monitor the health of jet engines on air-
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
liners, but also help carmakers spend fewer years on the development of new models by simulating test
drives and crashes. All this is being powered by recent progress in AI, which gives twins the ability to make
predictions about their physical counterparts(对应的事物), and adjust themselves based on new information.
Digital twins make it easier for humans to solve challenging problems, allowing people to have a look into
the future. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is also
fascinating: personalized health care, and ways to prevent the earth from environmental disasters.
Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digi-
tal twins will take in a substantial amount of data, some of it wrong and much of it raising concerns about
privacy. Yet those risks are a natural part of technological progress. The appearance of the digital mirror
world will raise new questions, but its potential benefits are already easy to see.
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
1.Which of the following best describes a digital twin?
A.A toy model.
B.A virtual copy.
C.A video game.
D.A medical database.
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
2.Why do researchers at QMUL use computer simulations of hearts?
A.To reduce the time of the heart operation.
B.To use real hearts much more conveniently.
C.To help increase the patients' recovery rates.
D.To avoid the danger of experimenting on real hearts.
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
3.How does AI contribute to the development of digital twins?
A.It increases the efficiency of simulations through data analysis.
B.It creates accurate digital copies for medical and industrial use.
C.It enables digital twins to predict results and adapt on their own.
D.It improves virtual models by adding real-time monitoring features.
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
4.What is the author's overall attitude toward the development of digital twins?
A.Clearly critical.
B.Strongly supportive.
C.Deeply ambiguous.
D.Cautiously optimistic.

There's even a “Name That Bird” feature that lets you name and follow individual birds over time. This
function helps you build connections with your backyard guests. Each identified bird is saved into a digital
collection. Thus, a visual diary of visits is created. It turns simple watching into a rewarding hobby.
But Bird Buddy does more than bring joy. It builds eco-awareness. According to Audubon's Survival by De-
grees report, two-thirds of North American bird species face threats from climate change. By watching and
identifying birds, users grow more aware of local wildlife and environmental shifts. _________
Furthermore, Bird Buddy directly aids scientific research and conservation. ______ Researchers can use this
information to trace migrations, monitor populations, and study climate impacts. Bird Buddy shows how
technology can bring us closer to nature—and help keep it safe for the future.

4.C 考查形容词。根据下文“he proved once and for all that the data was right”和最后一段中的“re-
peated scientific experiments”可知,里斯最终证明了数据是正确的,为确认这一结果,他经过了反复的分
析和观察。suspected有嫌疑的;limited有限的;repeated重复的;selected精选的。故选C。
5.D 考查动词。根据上文“he proved once and for all that the data was right”并结合上文提到的模型
可推断,里斯最终证明了自己的数据是正确的,所以之前的模型是错误的,必须得到纠正。copy复制;de-
stroy毁灭;protect保护;correct改正。故选D。
6.B 考查形容词。根据上文提到的里斯的宇宙膨胀理论并结合空后的“the universe's expansion is
speeding up”可推断,新理论“宇宙的膨胀正在加速”是正确的,所以也得到了人们的认可和接受。
shocking令人震惊的;accepted公认的;neglected被忽视的;promising有希望的。故选B。
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
7.C 考查名词。下文作者问里斯是怎么坚持想法的,结合上文提到的里斯的宇宙膨胀理论可推断,这

8.A 考查动词。下文“It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is. If it doesn't 9 the experiment,
it's wrong.”是理查德·费曼说过的话,所以此处指作者的问题让他想起了理查德·费曼的话。remind使
想起;warn警告;inform通知;convince使相信。故选A。
9.D 考查动词短语。根据空后的“the experiment, it's wrong”并结合常识可知,理论与实验不一致时,
理论就是错的,所以此处表示“与实验不一致”。end up with以……结束;combine with与……结合;
give way to向……让步;agree with与……一致。故选D。
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
10.C 考查名词。根据第二段中的“he proved once and for all that the data was right and that the model
had to be 5 ”并结合下文可推断,此处指如果假设得不到验证,那就必须改变假设,所以这是里斯持
有的强烈信念。emotion情感;dream梦想;belief信念;suggestion建议。故选C。
11.B 考查动词。根据此处语境并结合常识可知,科学方法就是提出一个假设,通过做实验去验证。
create创造;test检验;change改变;finish完成。故选B。
12.A 考查动词。根据空前的“if the data doesn't fit”并结合上文介绍的对数据的正确判断方法可推
断,如果数据不符合假设并且可以证明数据是对的,那么就要改变假设。prove证明;share分享;collect收
集;improve改进。故选A。
第1讲 描述运动的基本概念
13.D 考查形容词。根据空后的“of explaining the natural world”并结合常识可推断,科学是能够解释
