Nothing in his email was shocking. Technological advances as far back as the printing machine have got rid of some jobs while creating many others. The real danger is that too much reliance on AI could lead to a generation of young people unequipped for the jobs of the future because they have never learned to think creatively or critically. The brain continues to develop and mature into one’s mid-20s, but like a muscle, it needs to be exercised and challenged to grow stronger. Technology, especially AI, can block this development by doing the work that the brain is expected to do. A study last year analyzed brain electrical activity of university students during the activities of handwriting and typing. Those who were handwriting showed higher levels of neural (神经) activation across more brain regions. “Whenever handwriting movements are included as a learning strategy, more of the brain gets stimulated, resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity,” the researchers noted. “However, most students in colleges and many in high schools use AI tools to take notes and summarize lectures.” Why commit information to memory when AI tools can provide answers at our fingertips? For one thing, the brain can’t draw connections between ideas that aren’t there. Nothing comes from nothing. Creativity doesn’t happen unless the brain is engaged. College and high-school students also increasingly use AI tools to write papers, perform mathematical proofs, and create computer code. That means they don’t learn how to think through, express or defend ideas. “Why hire a brainless bachelor’s degree holder for a job that an AI tool can do at lower costs and with no complaint?” Andy Jassy asked by the end of the letter. 1.What is the author’s real concern? A. Human beings will be replaced by AI. B. Big companies are too eager to adopt AI. C. We are losing our ability to think properly. D. New jobs can’t be created fast enough. 2.What did the researchers find in their study? A. AI tools were wisely used by students. B. Students could benefit more from typing. C. The brain had to be challenged to stay healthy. D. Handwriting was a superior learning strategy. 3.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A. The convenience of AI tools. B. The need to challenge our brain. C. A function of the neural network. D. A way to memorize information. 4.What does Andy Jassy imply in his letter? A. Amazon needs creative engineers. B. Amazon will cut its workers’ salary. C. Employees should not complain. D. Bachelor’s degree holders are preferred. 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高三上·山东泰安·期中）When I was younger, I used to spring out of bed. Now, it’s more like a slow heave — my knees and hips protesting as I release a middle-aged groan. But I’ve gotten some relief by stretching for five minutes each morning. I picked this tip up from Dr. Gbolahan, a spine surgeon in New York. He told me that he’d been doing this every morning to keep his joints and muscles soft and sharp. Now I do the same. Regular movement is critical for joint health, Dr. Okubadejo said. Our hip, shoulder, knee and elbow joints are called synovial joints (滑膜关节); they contain fluid that helps nourish the cartilage by preventing wear while the joint is in motion. Movement helps circulate the fluid and oil those joints, preventing stiffness and discomfort, said Dean Padavan, associate program director of Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship. In addition to regular stretching, Dr. Okubadejo recommends 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous exercise. That could be gentler, joint-friendly activities such as Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi, or something more intense, like swimming laps. And with the exception of swimming, “exercises where your feet are planted are better for your joints,” said Anna Noel Miller, chair of orthopedics at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. She suggests bicycling rather than exercises like running. Numerous companies sell supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin that they claim can improve joint health, and people are snapping them up. The National Institutes of Health estimates that 6.5 million adults have used one or both of these products. The research, however, is mixed on whether supplements actually help with stiffness and pain. 1.Which approach did the author adopt to make his joints flexible? A. Taking joint supplements every day. B. Doing five minutes of morning stretching. C. Running for five minutes every morning. D. Riding a bicycle on a regular basis. 2.How effective are joint health supplements in practice? A. They are effective for all adults. B. Research has proved they are useless. C. Their effects are not yet confirmed. D. All doctors strongly recommend them. 3.What can be the suitable title for the text? A. Who Should Protect Their Joints. B. Why Joint Health Is Important. C. Whether to Take Joint Supplements. D. How to Ensure Joints Function Well. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高三上·山东潍坊·期中）It was in a secondhand bookstore that I first encountered the magic of annotations (注释). Flipping through the pages of an old copy of The Great Gatsby, I discovered delicate notes penciled in margins (页边) — reflections on Gatsby’s dreams, sighs over Daisy’s choices, and even a tiny teardrop spot beside the tragic ending. The unmet reader’s emotions seemed to breathe through the paper, turning the book into a living dialogue across time. On TikTok and Instagram, readers now share their creatively annotated books with color-coded notes that sometimes fill full pages. This trend has sparked a debate: Is the practice of annotations a bad habit or a beneficial effort? Historically, annotations have been a powerful tool for deep learning. Leonardo da Vinci scribbled (涂鸦) thoughts on gravity in the Codex Arundel years before Galileo published his work on the subject, proving how annotations can harbor groundbreaking ideas. Similarly, writers like Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe used margins to refine their thoughts. In the academic community, annotations are celebrated for enhancing comprehension and critical thinking. In writing workshops, deep reading — including annotations — helps students express interpretations and maintain “learner independence”. However, annotation styles online seem to differ widely from the annotations expected in the academic community. While some criticize them as overly decorative, their value lies in serving the reader’s purpose. Highlighting every piece of dialogue from your favorite character may seem unreasonable to an outsider, but that might help someone understand why they like that character or how the writer developed the character’s story. Romance readers are known to highlight, dog-ear and annotate their favorite romantic scenes. I may be overly romanticizing secondhand books, but there’s nothing more heartfelt than finding a previous reader’s favorite kissing scene. If the “book-tokers” or “book-fluencers” want to make their bookmark, highlighter, sticky notes and gel pen go with the cover of their favorite new science-fiction tale, that’s great. Scribbling in margins isn’t hurting anyone, so let them eat cake even if they dirty the page. 1.What did the author experience in a secondhand bookstore? A. A popular exhibition. B. A shared hobby. C. A striking explanation. D. A soulful connection. 2.What is the purpose of paragraph 3? A. To popularize a writing style. B. To justify making annotations. C. To serve as examples of an online trend. D. To introduce an effective learning method. 3.Which of the following best describes annotation styles online? A. Personalized. B. Incredible. C. Decorative. D. Unreasonable. 4.What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. He is an addict to secondhand books. B. Secondhand book lovers are romanticists. C. Annotators deserve understanding and respect. D. Readers should mind their behaviors while reading. 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高三上·山东日照·期中）Generative AI is changing how we work. Tools like DeepSeek and ChatGPT help people write everything from emails to blog posts 40% faster than they used to, according to a 2023 MIT study. The new technologies are transforming technical jobs in particular. A study determined that gen AI coding tools can cut programming time by 56%, for instance. How should workers use such time windfalls? Generally, the popular view is that people will use AI-generated time savings to enhance their personal lives, develop innovations, or increase productivity. However, two surveys of 302 AI users and 57 managers from around the world, conducted by the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, in early 2024, challenge that thinking. The surveys asked questions like: Do you save time using gen AI? Do you feel you have more time for other things? Do you rearrange time for personal or work-related tasks? How frequently do you waste the time you saved? The researchers found that gen AI saved the managers about 2 hours and 46 minutes a week, on average. Eighty-two percent of them said that the technology helped them do their jobs faster. But many in that group failed to fully capitalize on their freed-up time: 38% of them admitted to wasting more than half of it. Similarly, 84% of people in the gen AI user group admitted to wasting at least a quarter of it. Few of them said they used it to connect with others, enjoy their families, learn new skills, or improve their physical and emotional health. “Rearranging time savings requires people to track when they’re saving time,” says Isabelle Engeler, an associate professor at the University of Lausanne. Only once they have a good idea of how much they’ve gained can they decide how to benefit from it, she argues. “Unfortunately,” she notes, “many people don’t immediately notice it.” To optimize (优化) AI-related time savings, Engeler suggests, managers can help employees improve work-life balance. However, any time rearrangement requires a deliberate, intentional, and ongoing approach. 1.Which word best describes generative AI in paragraph 1? A. Innovative. B. Time-saving. C. Ineffective. D. Cost-saving. 2.What do the two surveys say about AI-saved time? A. It was not fully used for meaningful activities. B. It was primarily used for personal development. C. It was effectively employed to enhance relationship. D. It was mainly arranged for improving physical health. 3.What can we know from Isabelle Engeler’s words? A. People should use AI to save more time. B. People should focus on their work-life balance. C. People need to make good use of their work time. D. People need to monitor and redirect AI-saved time. 4.What is a suitable title for the text? A. The AI Efficiency Problem B. The Hidden Waste in AI Time Savings C. The Productivity Paradox of Generative AI D. The Approaches to Managing AI-related Time 主题语境03 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高三上·山东青岛即墨区·期中）When we’re confronting a confusing problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. We’re looking to the team to get the best ideas as quickly as possible. I love seeing it happen — except for one catch. Group brainstorming usually backfires. In brainstorming meetings, many good ideas are lost. Extensive evidence shows that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence. Brainstorming groups fall so far short of their potential that we may get more and better ideas if we all work alone. As the humorist Dave Barry said, “If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved and never will achieve its full potential, that word would be: meetings.” But the problem isn’t meetings themselves; it’s how we run them. You’ve probably seen people bite their tongues in meetings due to ego threat (“I don’t want to look stupid.”), noise (“We can’t all talk at once.”), and pressure to fit in (“Let’s all jump on the boss’s ship!”). Goodbye, diversity of thought; hello, groupthink. These challenges are greater for people who lack power or status: the most junior person in the room or an introvert (内向的人) lost in a sea of extroverts. To unearth the hidden potential in teams, instead of brainstorming, we are better off shifting to “brainwriting”. The initial steps are alone. You start by asking everyone to generate ideas separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without mentioning the names. Each member evaluates the ideas on their own. When ideas are developed and assessed individually before being chosen collectively, possibilities that might otherwise go unnoticed can surface and be advanced. In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to lean toward the biggest egos, the loudest voices, and the most powerful people. The brainwriting process makes sure that all ideas are brought to the table. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room; it’s to make the room smarter. 1.What can replace the word “catch” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Rare case. B. Helpful suggestion. C. Hidden problem. D. Special requirement. 2.Paragraph 3 is mainly about ____________ of brainstorming meetings. A. potential benefits B. typical outcomes C. standard procedures D. causes of ineffectiveness 3.Why is brainwriting better? A. It simplifies the procedures B. It requires fewer participants. C. It ensures balanced participation. D. It uses a more structured approach. 4.What’s the purpose of the text? A. To explain a theory. B. To encourage a practice. C. To make a comparison. D. To challenge a decision. 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高三上·山东菏泽·期中）“I don’t have to be a millionaire to help animals or people. A thought is what matters.” This simple yet powerful realization set 29-year-old Deeksha Chauhan on a path where she breathes life into animals through realism and hyperrealism (超写实主义), hoping to challenge the way humans interact with wildlife. Deeksha’s journey with art began early, encouraged by her teacher, who introduced her to various creative forms. While she enjoyed dance and music, painting always drew her in the most. However, her parents thought it was a terrible career path. They had a different plan for her future — an engineering degree at Vidya College, Meerut. She completed her degree in 2016 and entered the business world. But time and again, she felt she wasn’t truly interested in it. “In August 2019, I decided to become the teacher I was searching for and started to learn art by watching online courses,” Deeksha says. She followed international artists and paid close attention to paintings on the Internet. “Over time, I taught myself realism and hyperrealism,” she shares proudly. Deeksha’s choice to become a wildlife artist came from a personal loss. “I lost my pet dog — he breathed his last in my arms. I felt helpless because I could not do anything,” she says. While Deeksha works every day to improve her artistic skills, her main focus lies in giving back to animals through art. “Right now, with the money earned from art, I support people who take part in animal protection efforts,” she shares. “I love travelling alone and staying with the locals. In return, I teach their children about insects, wildlife, and the importance of not harming any animals,” she explains. Looking ahead, Deeksha wishes to use her art for fundraising in a bigger way, which would create awareness about wildlife and contribute towards animal well-being and protection. 1.What was Deeksha’s parents’ attitude towards her passion for painting? A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Expectant. D. Opposed. 2.How did Deeksha learn realism and hyperrealism painting skills? A. By studying online resources. B. By having art education in college. C. By taking courses from international artists. D. By watching online courses from an art school. 3.What inspired Deeksha to become a wildlife artist? A. The death of her pet dog. B. Her desire to earn more money. C. Her dissatisfaction with previous jobs. D. The suggestion for painting from her teacher. 4.What is Deeksha’s future goal? A. To improve her painting skills. B. To teach more children about art. C. To raise more money for wildlife. D. To sell her paintings at higher prices. 主题语境05 人与自然-环境 （25-26高三上·山东青岛即墨区·期中）The Anthropocene (人类世) is a new term to describe our age. The beds of rock being created under our feet today will be the record of our era. Future geologists (地质学家) will find huge concentrations of plastics, the fallout from the burning of fossil fuels and large amounts of cement (水泥) used to build our cities. Meanwhile, a major report shows an average decline of 73% of wild animal populations on Earth over the past 50 years. Nowadays, humans have concentrated in cities. But somewhere deep within, a desire for contact with nature remains. We holiday on man-made beaches, attend zoos that display living animals in lifelike versions of their natural homes, and visit amusement parks that offer a “jungle experience”. In these places, everything repeats itself and nature is made safe — no dangerous plants, biting insects, flooding or unpredictable creatures. Moreover, even the surviving pockets of nature in the real world are becoming packaged for our consumption. Yosemite National Park in California receives more than 4 million visitors a year. Ski tourists are becoming more demanding, too. Everybody wants a winter wonderland, despite warming temperatures. As a result, some now rely almost entirely on artificial snow production. Obviously, we are reshaping the Earth’s ecosystem. We have become the masters of our planet and the key to the future of life on Earth. But it seems that we are not prepared for the enormous side effects of our new power over our planet. Social media and the Internet’s endless information have led to a sense of unreality, where we are no longer looking for truth, but only a kind of amazement. Our future depends on an urgent rethink of humanity’s relationship with the natural world. We have separated ourselves from nature, yet we still want a connection with the very thing that we have turned our back on. In surrounding ourselves with artificial recreations of nature we unintentionally create monuments (纪念碑) to the very things that we have lost. 1.What does paragraph 1 mainly focus on? A. The great impact of human activity. B. The rapid disappearance of wildlife. C. The unexpected change in a new era. D. The increased usage of plastics and cement. 2.What is a common feature of man-made nature experiences? A. They help people truly understand nature. B. They are more attractive than real nature. C. They offer riskless contact with nature. D. They provide various unexpected surprises. 3.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Yosemite and ski resorts? A. To display nature repurposed for tourism. B. To compare artificial and natural landscapes. C. To highlight the popularity of outdoor activities. D. To criticize the environmental impact of modem tourism. 4.Which statement would the author most probably agree with? A. Recreating nature produces artificial wonders. B. Ignoring side effects raises environmental issues. C. Seeking amazement deepens our bond with nature. D. Balancing the human-nature relationship ensures sustainability. 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·山东泰安·期中）In an age of endless scrolling and bite-sized information, the practice of “deep reading” — the immersive(沉浸式的), focused engagement with a complex text — is facing an undeniable challenge. Nicholas Carr, in his famous work The Shallows, argues that the Internet is reshaping our brains, promoting quick scanning over sustained concentration. This shift, he warns, comes at a cost to our capacity for deep thought and comprehension. Neurological studies support this concern. When we read deeply, specific brain regions associated with language, memory, and perspective-taking show significant activity. It’s a slow, demanding process that builds rich mental models and fosters critical thinking. In contrast, the scattered (零散的), hyperlinked nature of online reading often keeps us at a surface level, training the brain for rapid decision-making about what to click next rather than for thoughtful analysis. However, it’s not all doom and gloom. The question isn’t necessarily about rejecting digital tools, but about cultivating a balanced “diet” of reading habits. Educational technologists point out that digital platforms can also support deep reading when used intentionally. Features like annotation (注释) tools, keyword search, and access to vast online libraries can enhance understanding, provided we consciously resist the pull of distraction. The key lies in mindfulness. Just as we schedule time for physical exercise, we must intentionally carve out periods for uninterrupted reading. This might mean setting aside the smartphone and picking up a physical book, or using app blockers to create a distraction-free digital space for engaging with longer articles. The goal is to regain control over our attention, training our minds to settle into a text without the urge to constantly switch tasks. Ultimately, deep reading is not merely a skill for academics; it’s a vital exercise for the mind in a fragmented (支离破碎的) world. It strengthens our ability to think critically, empathize with others, and engage with complex ideas — capacities more crucial than ever in navigating the complexities of the 21st century. 1.What is the main concern raised in the first paragraph? A. The rising cost of deep thought. B. The negative influence of social media. C. The poor quality of online information. D. The decline of the deep reading ability. 2.What does the neurological research mentioned in paragraph 2 show? A. Different reading styles activate the brain differently. B. Online reading can improve all decision-making skills. C. Deep reading is a slow and effortless process. D. Hyperlinks are essential for building memory. 3.What does the underlined word “mindfulness” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. The ability to remember details. B. The conscious practice to focus. C. The technique of reading faster. D. The method of using digital tools. 4.What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce the latest digital reading platforms. B. To advocate the value and practice of deep reading. C. To criticize the shallowness of online information. D. To compare the effects of reading on paper and on screen. Passage 2 （25-26高三上·山东临沂·期中）You may have seen this: As an event begins, somebody takes the microphone and lists off the Native American tribes who once inhabited the place where the event is held. Such “land acknowledgments” have become common practice over the past decade, at university ceremonies, rock concerts, and even the Academy Awards. The idea is that recognizing these former inhabitants by name reminds us that they were here and helps to improve historical injustice. But are they a useful practice for society, or just empty signals? You can’t right a wrong until you admit it. Behind each land acknowledgement is a recognition that cities and towns across the United States occupy land that was once inhabited by other peoples. The troubled history of how this came to be so, and the often terrible implications for those who were here before, is implicit. Land acknowledgements encourage us to look back with empathy and reflection, sharing a societal narrative that is honest and bends toward justice. This simple practice, which costs nothing and requires no special training, can challenge us to think more critically about our own histories. It’s only fair that we practice seeing those events through the perspectives of all participants and understanding their experiences as well. And naming them makes that history more visible. However, land acknowledgements are as vain as they often feel. The lives we live today are built on the results of decisions made, actions taken, successes achieved and losses suffered by those who came before us. Even for those who don’t like the outcome, there is little we can do to change it. Furthermore, the practice offers no solutions. “A land acknowledgement is what you give when you have no intention of giving land,” Graeme Wood writes in The Atlantic. “It’s like a receipt provided by a highway robber, noting all the jewels and gold coins he has stolen.” In reality, land acknowledgements are a performative act more for the benefit of the speaker than for the peoples being spoken for. Specifically, land acknowledgements “become an excuse for folks to feel good and move on with their lives,” notes the Native Governance Center, without actually contributing anything to the community. 1.Why does the author describe the scene at the beginning of Paragraph 1? A. To illustrate the wide application of a practice. B. To show the high popularity of a social activity. C. To introduce the discussion about a social phenomenon. D. To stress the necessity of correcting historical mistakes. 2.What does the underlined word “implicit” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Stated. B. Forgetten. C. Unspoken. D. Complicated. 3.What is Graeme Wood’s attitude towards land acknowledges? A. Ironic (讽刺的) and critical. B. Supportive and approving. C. Cautious and objective. D. Doubtful and dismissive. 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A New Perspective on Native American Tribes B. Land Acknowledgments: Meaningful or Meaningless? C. The Historical Injustice behind Land Acknowledgments D. The Rise of Land Acknowledgments: From Oscars to Campuses 主题语境02 人与自然-宇宙探索 （25-26高三上·山东德州·期中）Growing cucumbers on the moon might sound like science fiction, but for thousands of Australian students aged seven to ten, that future is now. They are pioneering the ALEPH Project, a groundbreaking world-first mission to establish the first lunar garden by 2026. Far from being passive observers, these young scientists are the vital engine of the project. They roll up their sleeves to tackle the core objective — figuring out what can actually grow on the moon — through hands-on experimentation. By designing specialized seed delivery systems and uploading findings to a national database, they equip scientists with real-world data for critical decision-making. This Stile Education and Lunaria One partnership has already yielded remarkable results, with over 440 student-led experiments and 200 teams’ data pushing the mission ahead. Yet the universe isn’t making it easy for these young explorers. The biggest problem is reproducing the tough environment of the moon right in their classroom. While they can use an oven to generate moon-like heat and a special machine to simulate (模拟) rocket shake, copying the space radiation and zero-gravity that seeds face in space is much harder. This mismatch between Earth-based simulations and what really happens in space makes their project immensely challenging. To bridge this gap, the students learn through trial and error, like real scientists do. Take the case of 13-year-old Huefner. He discovered moon-like conditions made tomatoes grow taller than the control group, proving science isn’t just formulas, but human curiosity in action. Such stories resonate (引起共鸣) with the team on a profound level. Lunaria One’s Lauren recalls wanting fresh salad during her space mission, not dry food. “It really hit home how important missions like this are,” she reflects, “as they’re our first steps toward growing fresh food in space.” This direct link from scientific inquiry to future sustenance (生计) sustains their passion. This project does more than grow plants — it grows future explorers. Ultimately, it brings science to life, because the kids tending these lunar gardens today might just be the ones seeding humanity’s future in space tomorrow — all through their school curriculum. 1.What is the primary purpose of the ALEPH Project? A. To modernize experiential learning. B. To stimulate passive scientific minds. C. To evaluate lunar agricultural systems. D. To advance off-world farming practice. 2.What is the main challenge for these young scientists? A. Tackling true-to-moon heat modeling. B. Recreating conditions similar to space. C. Gaining experience in Earth agriculture. D. Seeking access to high-end lab equipment. 3.What does the underlined phrase “hit home” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Struck with deep emotional force. B. Evaluated novel scientific insights. C. Caused serious technical arguments. D. Reached the unexpected destination. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Who Will Farm in Space? B.

A popular movie or TV drama has the power to make a city famous and further the development of tourism (如今，影迷们不再满足于只在屏幕上观看影片，而是渴望走进影视场景，体验剧中人物的日常生活。一部热门电影或电视剧，具备让一座城市成名、进而推动旅游业发展的力量)”以及后文三个影视带动旅游的具体案例可知，文章的目的是介绍“影视带火旅游地”这一流行趋势。故选A。 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高三上·山东滨州惠民县·期中）Last week, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy sent an email to his employees warning that artificial intelligence could displace them. “We will need fewer people doing some of the current jobs, but more people doing other types of jobs,” he wrote. Nothing in his email was shocking. Technological advances as far back as the printing machine have got rid of some jobs while creating many others. The real danger is that too much reliance on AI could lead to a generation of young people unequipped for the jobs of the future because they have never learned to think creatively or critically. The brain continues to develop and mature into one’s mid-20s, but like a muscle, it needs to be exercised and challenged to grow stronger. Technology, especially AI, can block this development by doing the work that the brain is expected to do. A study last year analyzed brain electrical activity of university students during the activities of handwriting and typing. Those who were handwriting showed higher levels of neural (神经) activation across more brain regions. “Whenever handwriting movements are included as a learning strategy, more of the brain gets stimulated, resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity,” the researchers noted. “However, most students in colleges and many in high schools use AI tools to take notes and summarize lectures.” Why commit information to memory when AI tools can provide answers at our fingertips? For one thing, the brain can’t draw connections between ideas that aren’t there. Nothing comes from nothing. Creativity doesn’t happen unless the brain is engaged. College and high-school students also increasingly use AI tools to write papers, perform mathematical proofs, and create computer code. That means they don’t learn how to think through, express or defend ideas. “Why hire a brainless bachelor’s degree holder for a job that an AI tool can do at lower costs and with no complaint?” Andy Jassy asked by the end of the letter. 1.What is the author’s real concern? A. Human beings will be replaced by AI. B. Big companies are too eager to adopt AI. C. We are losing our ability to think properly. D. New jobs can’t be created fast enough. 2.What did the researchers find in their study? A. AI tools were wisely used by students. B. Students could benefit more from typing. C. The brain had to be challenged to stay healthy. D. Handwriting was a superior learning strategy. 3.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A. The convenience of AI tools. B. The need to challenge our brain. C. A function of the neural network. D. A way to memorize information. 4.What does Andy Jassy imply in his letter? A. Amazon needs creative engineers. B. Amazon will cut its workers’ salary. C. Employees should not complain. D. Bachelor’s degree holders are preferred. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. B　4. A 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者认为，我们面临的危险不是AI取代人类，而是我们过度依赖AI会导致创造性及批判性思维丧失。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“The real danger is that too much reliance on AI could lead to a generation of young people unequipped for the jobs of the future because they have never learned to think creatively or critically.(真正的危险在于，对人工智能的过度依赖可能导致一代年轻人无法胜任未来的工作，因为他们从未学会创造性或批判性思考。)”可知，作者真正担心的是我们过度依赖AI会导致创造性及批判性思维丧失。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段“Those who were handwriting showed higher levels of neural (神经) activation across more brain regions. “Whenever handwriting movements are included as a learning strategy, more of the brain gets stimulated, resulting in the formation of more complex neural network connectivity,” the researchers noted. (那些手写的人在更多的大脑区域表现出更高水平的神经激活。研究者强调：“当手写动作被作为一种学习策略时，大脑的更多部分会受到刺激，从而形成更复杂的神经网络连接。”)”可知，手写的人在更多的大脑区域表现出更高水平的神经激活，当手写动作被作为一种学习策略时，大脑的更多部分会受到刺激，从而形成更复杂的神经网络连接，由此可知研究人员发现手写是一种更优越的学习策略。故选D项。 (3)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Why commit information to memory when AI tools can provide answers at our fingertips? For one thing, the brain can’t draw connections between ideas that aren’t there. Nothing comes from nothing. Creativity doesn’t happen unless the brain is engaged.(当人工智能工具触手可及就能提供答案时，为什么还要把信息记在脑子里呢？一方面，大脑无法在不存在的想法之间建立联系。无中不能生有。除非大脑参与其中，否则创造力不会产生。)”可知，该段主要讨论了即使有AI工具，我们仍需让大脑参与思考、锻炼大脑的必要性，即挑战大脑的需求。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Why hire a brainless bachelor’s degree holder for a job that an AI tool can do at lower costs and with no complaint?(为什么要雇佣一个没有头脑的学士学位持有者去做一份人工智能工具能以更低成本、毫无怨言完成的工作呢？)”可知，Andy Jassy认为不能雇佣一个没有头脑的学士学位持有者去做一份人工智能工具能以更低成本、毫无怨言完成的工作，可推理出他暗示那些只会依赖AI、没有独立思考能力的人将不被需要，反之，具备思考能力、有创造力的人（如创造性工程师）才是企业所需要的。故选A项。 主题语境03 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高三上·山东泰安·期中）When I was younger, I used to spring out of bed. Now, it’s more like a slow heave — my knees and hips protesting as I release a middle-aged groan. But I’ve gotten some relief by stretching for five minutes each morning. I picked this tip up from Dr. Gbolahan, a spine surgeon in New York. He told me that he’d been doing this every morning to keep his joints and muscles soft and sharp. Now I do the same. Regular movement is critical for joint health, Dr. Okubadejo said. Our hip, shoulder, knee and elbow joints are called synovial joints (滑膜关节); they contain fluid that helps nourish the cartilage by preventing wear while the joint is in motion. Movement helps circulate the fluid and oil those joints, preventing stiffness and discomfort, said Dean Padavan, associate program director of Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship. In addition to regular stretching, Dr. Okubadejo recommends 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous exercise. That could be gentler, joint-friendly activities such as Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi, or something more intense, like swimming laps. And with the exception of swimming, “exercises where your feet are planted are better for your joints,” said Anna Noel Miller, chair of orthopedics at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. She suggests bicycling rather than exercises like running. Numerous companies sell supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin that they claim can improve joint health, and people are snapping them up. The National Institutes of Health estimates that 6.5 million adults have used one or both of these products. The research, however, is mixed on whether supplements actually help with stiffness and pain. 1.Which approach did the author adopt to make his joints flexible? A. Taking joint supplements every day. B. Doing five minutes of morning stretching. C. Running for five minutes every morning. D. Riding a bicycle on a regular basis. 2.How effective are joint health supplements in practice? A. They are effective for all adults. B. Research has proved they are useless. C. Their effects are not yet confirmed. D. All doctors strongly recommend them. 3.What can be the suitable title for the text? A. Who Should Protect Their Joints. B. Why Joint Health Is Important. C. Whether to Take Joint Supplements. D. How to Ensure Joints Function Well. 【答案】1. B　2. C　3. D 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文讲述了作者通过每天早上五分钟拉伸来保持关节灵活性的个人经历，并引用了多位医生关于关节健康的专业建议。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“But I’ve gotten some relief by stretching for five minutes each morning.(但通过每天早上拉伸五分钟，我得到了一些缓解。)”可知，作者通过每天早上做五分钟的拉伸来使关节灵活。故选B。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The research, however, is mixed on whether supplements actually help with stiffness and pain.(然而，关于补充剂是否真的有助于缓解僵硬和疼痛，研究结果却褒贬不一。)”可知，关节健康补充剂的效果尚未得到证实。故选C。 (3)题解析： 主旨大意题。文章首先通过作者的个人经历引出关节健康的话题，接着引用了多位医生关于保持关节健康的专业建议，包括定期运动、选择合适的运动方式以及关于关节健康补充剂的效果的不确定性，由此可知，文章主要讨论的是如何确保关节功能良好。故选D。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 （25-26高三上·山东潍坊·期中）It was in a secondhand bookstore that I first encountered the magic of annotations (注释). Flipping through the pages of an old copy of The Great Gatsby, I discovered delicate notes penciled in margins (页边) — reflections on Gatsby’s dreams, sighs over Daisy’s choices, and even a tiny teardrop spot beside the tragic ending. The unmet reader’s emotions seemed to breathe through the paper, turning the book into a living dialogue across time. On TikTok and Instagram, readers now share their creatively annotated books with color-coded notes that sometimes fill full pages. This trend has sparked a debate: Is the practice of annotations a bad habit or a beneficial effort? Historically, annotations have been a powerful tool for deep learning. Leonardo da Vinci scribbled (涂鸦) thoughts on gravity in the Codex Arundel years before Galileo published his work on the subject, proving how annotations can harbor groundbreaking ideas. Similarly, writers like Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe used margins to refine their thoughts. In the academic community, annotations are celebrated for enhancing comprehension and critical thinking. In writing workshops, deep reading — including annotations — helps students express interpretations and maintain “learner independence”. However, annotation styles online seem to differ widely from the annotations expected in the academic community. While some criticize them as overly decorative, their value lies in serving the reader’s purpose. Highlighting every piece of dialogue from your favorite character may seem unreasonable to an outsider, but that might help someone understand why they like that character or how the writer developed the character’s story. Romance readers are known to highlight, dog-ear and annotate their favorite romantic scenes. I may be overly romanticizing secondhand books, but there’s nothing more heartfelt than finding a previous reader’s favorite kissing scene. If the “book-tokers” or “book-fluencers” want to make their bookmark, highlighter, sticky notes and gel pen go with the cover of their favorite new science-fiction tale, that’s great. Scribbling in margins isn’t hurting anyone, so let them eat cake even if they dirty the page. 1.What did the author experience in a secondhand bookstore? A. A popular exhibition. B. A shared hobby. C. A striking explanation. D. A soulful connection. 2.What is the purpose of paragraph 3? A. To popularize a writing style. B. To justify making annotations. C. To serve as examples of an online trend. D. To introduce an effective learning method. 3.Which of the following best describes annotation styles online? A. Personalized. B. Incredible. C. Decorative. D. Unreasonable. 4.What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. He is an addict to secondhand books. B. Secondhand book lovers are romanticists. C. Annotators deserve understanding and respect. D. Readers should mind their behaviors while reading. 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了批注这一行为的历史价值与当下网络流行趋势，作者认为无论批注风格如何，只要能满足读者需求、不伤害他人，就应被认可。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It was in a secondhand bookstore that I first encountered the magic of annotations (注释).Flipping through the pages of an old copy of The Great Gatsby, I discovered delicate notes penciled in margins (页边) — reflections on Gatsby’s dreams, sighs over Daisy’s choices, and even a tiny teardrop spot beside the tragic ending. The unmet reader’s emotions seemed to breathe through the paper, turning the book into a living dialogue across time.(我第一次邂逅注释的魔力，是在一家二手书店里。翻阅一本旧版《了不起的盖茨比》时，我发现页边空白处用铅笔写着细腻的批注 —— 有对盖茨比梦想的思索，对黛西选择的慨叹，甚至在悲剧结局旁还有一小块泪痕。那位素未谋面的读者的情感仿佛穿透纸页，让这本书变成了一场跨越时空的鲜活对话。)”可知，作者在二手书店翻阅旧书时，通过前一位读者的批注和泪痕，感受到了对方的情感，仿佛进行了一场跨越时空的对话，这是一种心灵层面的联结。故选D。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“Historically, annotations have been a powerful tool for deep learning. (从历史上看，批注一直是深度学习的有力工具。)”和“In the academic community, annotations are celebrated for enhancing comprehension and critical thinking. In writing workshops, deep reading — including annotations — helps students express interpretations and maintain “learner independence”.(在学术界，批注因能提升理解力和批判性思维而备受推崇。在写作工作坊中，深度阅读（包括批注）帮助学生表达自己的解读，培养学习自主性。)”可知，该段旨在从历史、学术、教育等多个维度，论证批注行为的合理性与重要性。故选B。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“While some criticize them as overly decorative, their value lies in serving the reader’s purpose. Highlighting every piece of dialogue from your favorite character may seem unreasonable to an outsider, but that might help someone understand why they like that character or how the writer developed the character’s story. Romance readers are known to highlight, dog-ear and annotate their favorite romantic scenes.(尽管有人批评这类做法过于华而不实，但它的价值在于贴合读者的阅读需求。在外人看来，把心仪角色的所有对话都标出来或许毫无道理，可这却能帮助读者理清自己喜爱这个角色的缘由，或是读懂作者塑造该人物故事脉络的思路。喜爱言情小说的读者常会给心动桥段划线、折页，还会在旁写下批注。)”可知，网络批注的核心特点是围绕读者自身需求展开，具有鲜明的个人化倾向。故选A。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Scribbling in margins isn’t hurting anyone, so let them eat cake even if they dirty the page.(在页边涂写并不会伤害任何人，所以即便会弄脏书页，也让他们尽情享受这份乐趣吧。)”可知，作者认为批注行为不会伤害他人，应得到理解与尊重。故选C。s 主题语境02 人与社会-科学与技术 （25-26高三上·山东日照·期中）Generative AI is changing how we work. Tools like DeepSeek and ChatGPT help people write everything from emails to blog posts 40% faster than they used to, according to a 2023 MIT study. The new technologies are transforming technical jobs in particular. A study determined that gen AI coding tools can cut programming time by 56%, for instance. How should workers use such time windfalls? Generally, the popular view is that people will use AI-generated time savings to enhance their personal lives, develop innovations, or increase productivity. However, two surveys of 302 AI users and 57 managers from around the world, conducted by the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, in early 2024, challenge that thinking. The surveys asked questions like: Do you save time using gen AI? Do you feel you have more time for other things? Do you rearrange time for personal or work-related tasks? How frequently do you waste the time you saved? The researchers found that gen AI saved the managers about 2 hours and 46 minutes a week, on average. Eighty-two percent of them said that the technology helped them do their jobs faster. But many in that group failed to fully capitalize on their freed-up time: 38% of them admitted to wasting more than half of it. Similarly, 84% of people in the gen AI user group admitted to wasting at least a quarter of it. Few of them said they used it to connect with others, enjoy their families, learn new skills, or improve their physical and emotional health. “Rearranging time savings requires people to track when they’re saving time,” says Isabelle Engeler, an associate professor at the University of Lausanne. Only once they have a good idea of how much they’ve gained can they decide how to benefit from it, she argues. “Unfortunately,” she notes, “many people don’t immediately notice it.” To optimize (优化) AI-related time savings, Engeler suggests, managers can help employees improve work-life balance. However, any time rearrangement requires a deliberate, intentional, and ongoing approach. 1.Which word best describes generative AI in paragraph 1? A. Innovative. B. Time-saving. C. Ineffective. D. Cost-saving. 2.What do the two surveys say about AI-saved time? A. It was not fully used for meaningful activities. B. It was primarily used for personal development. C. It was effectively employed to enhance relationship. D. It was mainly arranged for improving physical health. 3.What can we know from Isabelle Engeler’s words? A. People should use AI to save more time. B. People should focus on their work-life balance. C. People need to make good use of their work time. D. People need to monitor and redirect AI-saved time. 4.What is a suitable title for the text? A. The AI Efficiency Problem B. The Hidden Waste in AI Time Savings C. The Productivity Paradox of Generative AI D. The Approaches to Managing AI-related Time 【答案】1. B　2. A　3. D　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇议论文。介绍了生成式AI节省工作时间的效果，以及人们对这些节省出的时间的利用现状与优化建议。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段“Tools like DeepSeek and ChatGPT help people write everything from emails to blog posts 40% faster than they used to, according to a 2023 MIT study. The new technologies are transforming technical jobs in particular. A study determined that gen AI coding tools can cut programming time by 56%, for instance.(根据麻省理工学院2023年的一项研究，DeepSeek和ChatGPT等工具帮助人们写从电子邮件到博客文章的所有内容，速度比以前快40%。新技术正在改变技术工作。例如，一项研究确定，gen AI编码工具可以将编程时间缩短56%)”可知，生成式人工智能具有节省时间的特点。故选B。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段“But many in that group failed to fully capitalize on their freed-up time: 38% of them admitted to wasting more than half of it. Similarly, 84% of people in the gen AI user group admitted to wasting at least a quarter of it. Few of them said they used it to connect with others, enjoy their families, learn new skills, or improve their physical and emotional health. (但这一群体中的许多人并没有充分利用节省下来的时间：38%的人承认浪费了一半以上的时间。同样，84%的人工智能用户承认自己浪费了至少四分之一的时间。他们中很少有人说他们用它来与他人联系，享受家庭，学习新技能，或改善他们的身心健康)”可知，使用人工智能节省下来的时间没有被充分用于有意义的活动。故选A。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第四段““Rearranging time savings requires people to track when they’re saving time,” says Isabelle Engeler, an associate professor at the University of Lausanne. Only once they have a good idea of how much they’ve gained can they decide how to benefit from it (洛桑大学副教授Isabelle Engeler表示：“重新安排节省下来的时间，需要人们追踪自己在什么时候节省了时间。”她认为，只有当他们清楚地知道自己获得了多少，他们才能决定如何从中受益)”可知，人们需要监控并合理分配人工智能节省的时间。故选D。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。文章第一段肯定了生成式AI在提升工作效率、节省工作时间方面的显著能力；第二段则笔锋一转，引入研究挑战了“人们会将节省的时间用于提升自我或改善生活”的普遍看法；第三段通过具体调查数据揭示出核心问题：大多数管理者与员工承认浪费了相当一部分由AI节省下来的时间；第四、五段进一步分析了这一现象的原因并给出建议。全文层层递进，其核心论述并非泛谈AI的效率，而是集中揭露了“时间节省背后存在隐性浪费”这一关键发现。因此，选项B“AI所节省时间中的隐性浪费”精准地概括了文章主旨，最适合作为文章标题。故选B。 主题语境03 人与自我-做人与做事 （25-26高三上·山东青岛即墨区·期中）When we’re confronting a confusing problem, we often gather a group to brainstorm. We’re looking to the team to get the best ideas as quickly as possible. I love seeing it happen — except for one catch. Group brainstorming usually backfires. In brainstorming meetings, many good ideas are lost. Extensive evidence shows that when we generate ideas together, we fail to maximize collective intelligence. Brainstorming groups fall so far short of their potential that we may get more and better ideas if we all work alone. As the humorist Dave Barry said, “If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved and never will achieve its full potential, that word would be: meetings.” But the problem isn’t meetings themselves; it’s how we run them. You’ve probably seen people bite their tongues in meetings due to ego threat (“I don’t want to look stupid.”), noise (“We can’t all talk at once.”), and pressure to fit in (“Let’s all jump on the boss’s ship!”). Goodbye, diversity of thought; hello, groupthink. These challenges are greater for people who lack power or status: the most junior person in the room or an introvert (内向的人) lost in a sea of extroverts. To unearth the hidden potential in teams, instead of brainstorming, we are better off shifting to “brainwriting”. The initial steps are alone. You start by asking everyone to generate ideas separately. Next, you pool them and share them among the group without mentioning the names. Each member evaluates the ideas on their own. When ideas are developed and assessed individually before being chosen collectively, possibilities that might otherwise go unnoticed can surface and be advanced. In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to lean toward the biggest egos, the loudest voices, and the most powerful people. The brainwriting process makes sure that all ideas are brought to the table. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room; it’s to make the room smarter. 1.What can replace the word “catch” underlined in paragraph 1? A. Rare case. B. Helpful suggestion. C. Hidden problem. D. Special requirement. 2.Paragraph 3 is mainly about ____________ of brainstorming meetings. A. potential benefits B. typical outcomes C. standard procedures D. causes of ineffectiveness 3.Why is brainwriting better? A. It simplifies the procedures B. It requires fewer participants. C. It ensures balanced participation. D. It uses a more structured approach. 4.What’s the purpose of the text? A. To explain a theory. B. To encourage a practice. C. To make a comparison. D. To challenge a decision. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. C　4. B 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了集体头脑风暴存在缺陷，建议采用“头脑写作法”来激发团队潜力。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第一段“We’re looking to the team to get the best ideas as quickly as possible. I love seeing it happen — except for one catch.Group brainstorming usually backfires.(我们希望团队能尽快想出最好的主意。我喜欢看到这种情况发生——除了一个catch.小组头脑风暴通常会适得其反)”可知，作者喜欢看到团队想出好主意，但是有一个隐藏的问题。catch在此处意为“隐藏的问题”。C选项“Hidden problem.(隐藏的问题)”符合题意。故选C。 (2)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第三段“You’ve probably seen people bite their tongues in meetings due to ego threat (“I don’t want to look stupid.”), noise (“We can’t all talk at once.”), and pressure to fit in (“Let’s all jump on the boss’s ship!”). Goodbye, diversity of thought; hello, groupthink.(你可能见过有人在会议中因为自尊心受到威胁（“我不想看起来很蠢。”）、噪音（“我们不能同时说话。”）以及融入的压力（“让我们都跳上老板的船！”）而欲言又止。再见，思想的多样性；你好，集体思维)”可知，本段主要讲述了头脑风暴会议无效的原因，包括自尊心受到威胁、噪音以及融入的压力等。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In brainstorming meetings, it’s too easy for participation to lean toward the biggest egos, the loudest voices, and the most powerful people. The brainwriting process makes sure that all ideas are brought to the table.(在头脑风暴会议中，参与很容易倾向于最自负的人、声音最大的人和最有权力的人。头脑写作过程确保所有想法都能被提出)”可知，头脑写作法能确保所有想法都被提出，即确保平衡参与。故选C。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中“To unearth the hidden potential in teams, instead of brainstorming, we are better off shifting to “brainwriting”. (为挖掘团队潜在潜力，我们应摒弃头脑风暴，转向“头脑书写”模式)”和最后一段“The brainwriting process makes sure that all ideas are brought to the table. The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room; it’s to make the room smarter.(头脑写作过程确保所有想法都能被提出。目标不是成为房间里最聪明的人，而是让房间变得更聪明)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了头脑风暴存在的问题，并建议采用头脑写作法来激发团队潜力，因此文章的目的是鼓励一种实践。故选B。 主题语境04 人与自我-生活与学习 （25-26高三上·山东菏泽·期中）“I don’t have to be a millionaire to help animals or people. A thought is what matters.” This simple yet powerful realization set 29-year-old Deeksha Chauhan on a path where she breathes life into animals through realism and hyperrealism (超写实主义), hoping to challenge the way humans interact with wildlife. Deeksha’s journey with art began early, encouraged by her teacher, who introduced her to various creative forms. While she enjoyed dance and music, painting always drew her in the most. However, her parents thought it was a terrible career path. They had a different plan for her future — an engineering degree at Vidya College, Meerut. She completed her degree in 2016 and entered the business world. But time and again, she felt she wasn’t truly interested in it. “In August 2019, I decided to become the teacher I was searching for and started to learn art by watching online courses,” Deeksha says. She followed international artists and paid close attention to paintings on the Internet. “Over time, I taught myself realism and hyperrealism,” she shares proudly. Deeksha’s choice to become a wildlife artist came from a personal loss. “I lost my pet dog — he breathed his last in my arms. I felt helpless because I could not do anything,” she says. While Deeksha works every day to improve her artistic skills, her main focus lies in giving back to animals through art. “Right now, with the money earned from art, I support people who take part in animal protection efforts,” she shares. “I love travelling alone and staying with the locals. In return, I teach their children about insects, wildlife, and the importance of not harming any animals,” she explains. Looking ahead, Deeksha wishes to use her art for fundraising in a bigger way, which would create awareness about wildlife and contribute towards animal well-being and protection. 1.What was Deeksha’s parents’ attitude towards her passion for painting? A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Expectant. D. Opposed. 2.How did Deeksha learn realism and hyperrealism painting skills? A. By studying online resources. B. By having art education in college. C. By taking courses from international artists. D. By watching online courses from an art school. 3.What inspired Deeksha to become a wildlife artist? A. The death of her pet dog. B. Her desire to earn more money. C. Her dissatisfaction with previous jobs. D. The suggestion for painting from her teacher. 4.What is Deeksha’s future goal? A. To improve her painting skills. B. To teach more children about art. C. To raise more money for wildlife. D. To sell her paintings at higher prices. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. A　4.

Future geologists (地质学家) will find huge concentrations of plastics, the fallout from the burning of fossil fuels and large amounts of cement (水泥) used to build our cities. Meanwhile, a major report shows an average decline of 73% of wild animal populations on Earth over the past 50 years. Nowadays, humans have concentrated in cities. But somewhere deep within, a desire for contact with nature remains. We holiday on man-made beaches, attend zoos that display living animals in lifelike versions of their natural homes, and visit amusement parks that offer a “jungle experience”. In these places, everything repeats itself and nature is made safe — no dangerous plants, biting insects, flooding or unpredictable creatures. Moreover, even the surviving pockets of nature in the real world are becoming packaged for our consumption. Yosemite National Park in California receives more than 4 million visitors a year. Ski tourists are becoming more demanding, too. Everybody wants a winter wonderland, despite warming temperatures. As a result, some now rely almost entirely on artificial snow production. Obviously, we are reshaping the Earth’s ecosystem. We have become the masters of our planet and the key to the future of life on Earth. But it seems that we are not prepared for the enormous side effects of our new power over our planet. Social media and the Internet’s endless information have led to a sense of unreality, where we are no longer looking for truth, but only a kind of amazement. Our future depends on an urgent rethink of humanity’s relationship with the natural world. We have separated ourselves from nature, yet we still want a connection with the very thing that we have turned our back on. In surrounding ourselves with artificial recreations of nature we unintentionally create monuments (纪念碑) to the very things that we have lost. 1.What does paragraph 1 mainly focus on? A. The great impact of human activity. B. The rapid disappearance of wildlife. C. The unexpected change in a new era. D. The increased usage of plastics and cement. 2.What is a common feature of man-made nature experiences? A. They help people truly understand nature. B. They are more attractive than real nature. C. They offer riskless contact with nature. D. They provide various unexpected surprises. 3.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Yosemite and ski resorts? A. To display nature repurposed for tourism. B. To compare artificial and natural landscapes. C. To highlight the popularity of outdoor activities. D. To criticize the environmental impact of modem tourism. 4.Which statement would the author most probably agree with? A. Recreating nature produces artificial wonders. B. Ignoring side effects raises environmental issues. C. Seeking amazement deepens our bond with nature. D. Balancing the human-nature relationship ensures sustainability. 【答案】1. A　2. C　3. A　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨人类世下人类对自然的改造、人造自然体验的特点，呼吁重新思考人与自然的关系。 (1)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The beds of rock being created under our feet today will be the record of our era. Future geologists will find huge concentrations of plastics, the fallout from the burning of fossil fuels and large amounts of cement used to build our cities. Meanwhile, a major report shows an average decline of 73% of wild animal populations on Earth over the past 50 years.(如今在我们脚下形成的岩层将成为我们这个时代的记录。未来的地质学家会发现大量的塑料、化石燃料燃烧产生的沉降物，以及建造城市所用的大量水泥。与此同时，一份重要报告显示，过去 50 年里地球上野生动物种群数量平均下降了73%)”可知，第一段聚焦人类活动带来的巨大影响——地质层面的遗留物、野生动物数量锐减。故选A项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In these places, everything repeats itself and nature is made safe — no dangerous plants, biting insects, flooding or unpredictable creatures.(在这些地方，一切都是重复的，自然被打造得很安全 —— 没有危险的植物、会叮咬人的昆虫、洪水或难以预测的生物)” 可知，人造自然体验的共同特征是提供无风险的自然接触。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Moreover, even the surviving pockets of nature in the real world are becoming packaged for our consumption. Yosemite National Park in California receives more than 4 million visitors a year. Ski tourists are becoming more demanding, too. Everybody wants a winter wonderland, despite warming temperatures. As a result, some now rely almost entirely on artificial snow production.(此外，即使是现实世界中仅存的自然区域，也正被包装起来供我们消费。加州的约塞米蒂国家公园每年接待超过400万名游客。滑雪游客的要求也越来越高。尽管气温在变暖，每个人都想要一个冬日仙境。因此，一些地方现在几乎完全依赖人工造雪)”可知，作者提及约塞米蒂和滑雪胜地，是为了展示为旅游业而被重新利用的自然。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Our future depends on an urgent rethink of humanity’s relationship with the natural world. We have separated ourselves from nature, yet we still want a connection with the very thing that we have turned our back on.(我们的未来取决于能否紧急重新思考人类与自然世界的关系。我们将自己与自然隔离开来，但仍想与我们所背弃的事物建立联系)”可知，作者可能会认同“平衡人与自然的关系才能确保可持续发展”这一观点。故选D项。 主题语境01 人与社会-历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （25-26高三上·山东泰安·期中）In an age of endless scrolling and bite-sized information, the practice of “deep reading” — the immersive(沉浸式的), focused engagement with a complex text — is facing an undeniable challenge. Nicholas Carr, in his famous work The Shallows, argues that the Internet is reshaping our brains, promoting quick scanning over sustained concentration. This shift, he warns, comes at a cost to our capacity for deep thought and comprehension. Neurological studies support this concern. When we read deeply, specific brain regions associated with language, memory, and perspective-taking show significant activity. It’s a slow, demanding process that builds rich mental models and fosters critical thinking. In contrast, the scattered (零散的), hyperlinked nature of online reading often keeps us at a surface level, training the brain for rapid decision-making about what to click next rather than for thoughtful analysis. However, it’s not all doom and gloom. The question isn’t necessarily about rejecting digital tools, but about cultivating a balanced “diet” of reading habits. Educational technologists point out that digital platforms can also support deep reading when used intentionally. Features like annotation (注释) tools, keyword search, and access to vast online libraries can enhance understanding, provided we consciously resist the pull of distraction. The key lies in mindfulness. Just as we schedule time for physical exercise, we must intentionally carve out periods for uninterrupted reading. This might mean setting aside the smartphone and picking up a physical book, or using app blockers to create a distraction-free digital space for engaging with longer articles. The goal is to regain control over our attention, training our minds to settle into a text without the urge to constantly switch tasks. Ultimately, deep reading is not merely a skill for academics; it’s a vital exercise for the mind in a fragmented (支离破碎的) world. It strengthens our ability to think critically, empathize with others, and engage with complex ideas — capacities more crucial than ever in navigating the complexities of the 21st century. 1.What is the main concern raised in the first paragraph? A. The rising cost of deep thought. B. The negative influence of social media. C. The poor quality of online information. D. The decline of the deep reading ability. 2.What does the neurological research mentioned in paragraph 2 show? A. Different reading styles activate the brain differently. B. Online reading can improve all decision-making skills. C. Deep reading is a slow and effortless process. D. Hyperlinks are essential for building memory. 3.What does the underlined word “mindfulness” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. The ability to remember details. B. The conscious practice to focus. C. The technique of reading faster. D. The method of using digital tools. 4.What is the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce the latest digital reading platforms. B. To advocate the value and practice of deep reading. C. To criticize the shallowness of online information. D. To compare the effects of reading on paper and on screen. 【答案】1. D　2. A　3. B　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇议论文。本文探讨了“深度阅读”在当今数字化时代所面临的挑战，并强调了其重要性及实践方法。 (1)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In an age of endless scrolling and bite-sized information, the practice of “deep reading” — the immersive(沉浸式的), focused engagement with a complex text — is facing an undeniable challenge.(在这个信息滚动不息、碎片化内容充斥的时代，“深度阅读”——一种沉浸式、专注投入地研读复杂文本的阅读方式——正面临着不可回避的挑战。)”可知，第一段提出的主要担忧是深度阅读能力下降。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段“When we read deeply, specific brain regions associated with language, memory, and perspective-taking show significant activity. It’s a slow, demanding process that builds rich mental models and fosters critical thinking. In contrast, the scattered, hyperlinked nature of online reading often keeps us at a surface level, training the brain for rapid decision-making about what to click next rather than for thoughtful analysis.(当我们深入阅读时，与语言、记忆和视角转换相关的特定大脑区域会表现出显著的活动。这是一个缓慢而要求高的过程，它构建了丰富的心理模型，并促进了批判性思维。相比之下，在线阅读的分散性、超链接性常常使我们停留在表面，训练大脑快速决定下一步点击什么，而不是进行深思熟虑的分析。)”可知，神经科学研究表明不同的阅读方式激活大脑的方式不同。故选A。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据下文“Just as we schedule time for physical exercise, we must intentionally carve out periods for uninterrupted reading. This might mean setting aside the smartphone and picking up a physical book, or using app blockers to create a distraction-free digital space for engaging with longer articles. The goal is to regain control over our attention, training our minds to settle into a text without the urge to constantly switch tasks.(就像我们会安排时间进行体育锻炼一样，也必须有意识地留出不受干扰的阅读时段。这可能意味着放下智能手机、拿起纸质书，或是使用应用拦截工具打造无干扰的数字空间，以便专注阅读篇幅较长的文章。这样做的目的是重新掌控自己的注意力，训练大脑沉下心来阅读文本，而不是总想着切换任务。)”可知，核心要义在于专注力。由此可推测出划线单词“mindfulness”的意思是“有意识地集中注意力练习”。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。文章首先指出深度阅读在当今数字化时代面临的挑战，接着通过神经科学研究说明深度阅读的重要性，然后提出如何培养深度阅读习惯，最后强调深度阅读在碎片化世界中的重要性，由此可知，文本的主要目的是提倡深度阅读的价值和实践。故选B。 Passage 2 （25-26高三上·山东临沂·期中）You may have seen this: As an event begins, somebody takes the microphone and lists off the Native American tribes who once inhabited the place where the event is held. Such “land acknowledgments” have become common practice over the past decade, at university ceremonies, rock concerts, and even the Academy Awards. The idea is that recognizing these former inhabitants by name reminds us that they were here and helps to improve historical injustice. But are they a useful practice for society, or just empty signals? You can’t right a wrong until you admit it. Behind each land acknowledgement is a recognition that cities and towns across the United States occupy land that was once inhabited by other peoples. The troubled history of how this came to be so, and the often terrible implications for those who were here before, is implicit. Land acknowledgements encourage us to look back with empathy and reflection, sharing a societal narrative that is honest and bends toward justice. This simple practice, which costs nothing and requires no special training, can challenge us to think more critically about our own histories. It’s only fair that we practice seeing those events through the perspectives of all participants and understanding their experiences as well. And naming them makes that history more visible. However, land acknowledgements are as vain as they often feel. The lives we live today are built on the results of decisions made, actions taken, successes achieved and losses suffered by those who came before us. Even for those who don’t like the outcome, there is little we can do to change it. Furthermore, the practice offers no solutions. “A land acknowledgement is what you give when you have no intention of giving land,” Graeme Wood writes in The Atlantic. “It’s like a receipt provided by a highway robber, noting all the jewels and gold coins he has stolen.” In reality, land acknowledgements are a performative act more for the benefit of the speaker than for the peoples being spoken for. Specifically, land acknowledgements “become an excuse for folks to feel good and move on with their lives,” notes the Native Governance Center, without actually contributing anything to the community. 1.Why does the author describe the scene at the beginning of Paragraph 1? A. To illustrate the wide application of a practice. B. To show the high popularity of a social activity. C. To introduce the discussion about a social phenomenon. D. To stress the necessity of correcting historical mistakes. 2.What does the underlined word “implicit” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Stated. B. Forgetten. C. Unspoken. D. Complicated. 3.What is Graeme Wood’s attitude towards land acknowledges? A. Ironic (讽刺的) and critical. B. Supportive and approving. C. Cautious and objective. D. Doubtful and dismissive. 4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A New Perspective on Native American Tribes B. Land Acknowledgments: Meaningful or Meaningless? C. The Historical Injustice behind Land Acknowledgments D. The Rise of Land Acknowledgments: From Oscars to Campuses 【答案】1. C　2. C　3. A　4. B 【解析】【导语】 这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了“土地致谢”在各类活动中日益普遍，有人认为其能促使人们反思历史不公、彰显历史，也有人批评它空洞无实、无实际解决方案，仅为表演性行为。 (1)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Such “land acknowledgments” have become common practice over the past decade, at university ceremonies, rock concerts, and even the Academy Awards. The idea is that recognizing these former inhabitants by name reminds us that they were here and helps to improve historical injustice. But are they a useful practice for society, or just empty signals?( 在过去的十年中，这样的“土地致谢”已经成为一种普遍的做法，在大学典礼、摇滚音乐会，甚至是奥斯卡颁奖典礼上。我们的想法是，通过名字来认识这些前居民，提醒我们他们曾经在这里，并有助于改善历史上的不公正。但它们对社会是有益的实践，还是只是空洞的信号？)”可知，开篇描述“活动开场时提及原住民部落”的场景，随后点明这是“土地致谢”实践，紧接着提出核心疑问 “这一做法对社会有用，还是仅为空洞信号”。由此可推知，作者描述第一段开头的场景是为了引入关于一种社会现象的讨论。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“You can’t right a wrong until you admit it. Behind each land acknowledgement is a recognition that cities and towns across the United States occupy land that was once inhabited by other peoples.( 除非你承认错误，否则你无法纠正错误。在每一个“土地致谢”的背后，都是承认美国各地的城镇占据了曾经被其他民族居住的土地。)”以及划线单词句中“The troubled history of how this came to be so, and the often terrible implications for those who were here before, is….( 关于这种情况如何发生的混乱历史，以及对之前在这里的人的可怕影响，都是……。)”可知，虽然土地致谢背后表达了对“土地曾属于他人”的认可，但并未承认错误，这段历史的“问题本质及对原住民的可怕影响”并未直接说出，是“隐含的”。由此可知，划线单词implicit为“隐含的”的意思，和C选项Unspoken“不言而喻的”意思相近。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第四段中““A land acknowledgement is what you give when you have no intention of giving land,” Graeme Wood writes in The Atlantic. “It’s like a receipt provided by a highway robber, noting all the jewels and gold coins he has stolen.”(格雷姆·伍德（Graeme Wood）在《大西洋月刊》（The Atlantic）上写道：“当你无意出让土地时，你就会给予承认。”“这就像公路抢劫犯提供的收据，上面写着他偷了多少珠宝和金币。”)”可推知，格雷姆·伍德将土地致谢比作“强盗提供的收据”，暗指其“只承认侵占，却不归还土地”，用讽刺的比喻表达强烈批判态度。故选A项。 (4)题解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“The idea is that recognizing these former inhabitants by name reminds us that they were here and helps to improve historical injustice. But are they a useful practice for society, or just empty signals?( 我们的想法是，通过名字来认识这些前居民，提醒我们他们曾经在这里，并有助于改善历史上的不公正。但它们对社会是有益的实践，还是只是空洞的信号？)”可知，文章开篇引入“土地致谢”现象，随后分别阐述支持方（有意义，促进反思、承认历史）和反对方（无意义，空洞、无实际行动）的观点，核心围绕“该做法是否有价值”展开。由此可知，文章的最佳标题是“土地致谢：有意义还是没有意义？”。故选B项。 主题语境02 人与自然-宇宙探索 （25-26高三上·山东德州·期中）Growing cucumbers on the moon might sound like science fiction, but for thousands of Australian students aged seven to ten, that future is now. They are pioneering the ALEPH Project, a groundbreaking world-first mission to establish the first lunar garden by 2026. Far from being passive observers, these young scientists are the vital engine of the project. They roll up their sleeves to tackle the core objective — figuring out what can actually grow on the moon — through hands-on experimentation. By designing specialized seed delivery systems and uploading findings to a national database, they equip scientists with real-world data for critical decision-making. This Stile Education and Lunaria One partnership has already yielded remarkable results, with over 440 student-led experiments and 200 teams’ data pushing the mission ahead. Yet the universe isn’t making it easy for these young explorers. The biggest problem is reproducing the tough environment of the moon right in their classroom. While they can use an oven to generate moon-like heat and a special machine to simulate (模拟) rocket shake, copying the space radiation and zero-gravity that seeds face in space is much harder. This mismatch between Earth-based simulations and what really happens in space makes their project immensely challenging. To bridge this gap, the students learn through trial and error, like real scientists do. Take the case of 13-year-old Huefner. He discovered moon-like conditions made tomatoes grow taller than the control group, proving science isn’t just formulas, but human curiosity in action. Such stories resonate (引起共鸣) with the team on a profound level. Lunaria One’s Lauren recalls wanting fresh salad during her space mission, not dry food. “It really hit home how important missions like this are,” she reflects, “as they’re our first steps toward growing fresh food in space.” This direct link from scientific inquiry to future sustenance (生计) sustains their passion. This project does more than grow plants — it grows future explorers. Ultimately, it brings science to life, because the kids tending these lunar gardens today might just be the ones seeding humanity’s future in space tomorrow — all through their school curriculum. 1.What is the primary purpose of the ALEPH Project? A. To modernize experiential learning. B. To stimulate passive scientific minds. C. To evaluate lunar agricultural systems. D. To advance off-world farming practice. 2.What is the main challenge for these young scientists? A. Tackling true-to-moon heat modeling. B. Recreating conditions similar to space. C. Gaining experience in Earth agriculture. D. Seeking access to high-end lab equipment. 3.What does the underlined phrase “hit home” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Struck with deep emotional force. B. Evaluated novel scientific insights. C. Caused serious technical arguments. D. Reached the unexpected destination. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Who Will Farm in Space? B. How to Survive Lunar Heat? C. Can Classrooms Feed Moon? D. Is Off-Earth Salad Beneficial? 【答案】1. D　2. B　3. A　4. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了7至10岁的澳大利亚学生参与ALEPH项目，通过课堂实验探索月球种植可能性，克服模拟月球环境的挑战，为2026年建立首个月球花园积累数据，同时培养自身科学素养的故事。 (1)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Growing cucumbers on the moon might sound like science fiction, but for thousands of Australian students aged seven to ten, that future is now.
