话题5 研究发现(共2篇)
Passage 1
(25-26高二上·上海徐汇区上海中学·期中)The conventional portrayal of scientific advancement as a straightforward gathering of successes presents a fundamentally misleading picture. Authentic scientific progress is rarely straight; 1 , it follows a winding path filled with unexpected obstacles and definitive failures. Rather than representing mere blocks, these apparent setbacks frequently function as important 2 that re-orient research toward more promising directions and deeper understanding.
The discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation offers a particularly instructive case study. When radio astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson first detected persistent interference (干扰) in their measurements, they naturally 3 this usual signal as evidence of equipment problem. The signal consistently 4 their attempts to collect clean astronomical data, prompting an extensive investigation into potential technical sources. After systematically removing all thinkable sources cause, they faced an inescapable reality: the interference persisted despite their most diligent efforts. 5 , this very persistence pushed them to consider more extraordinary explanations. What began as a technical 6 ultimately turned into one of the most significant cosmological discoveries of the modern era.
This historical episode illuminates a crucial principle of scientific methods: the genuine value of an investigation often lies not in confirming expected results, but in how researchers respond to differences between theory and 7 . When experimental data consistently contradict theoretical predictions, the most innovative scientists perceive not failure but opportunity — an 8 to reexamine fundamental assumptions and theoretical frameworks. Such moments of conflict frequently catalyze scientific breakthroughs, stimulating the development of more comprehensive theories.
These insights carry profound implications for science 9 . Traditional teaching approaches that emphasize predetermined outcomes and rapid success may accidentally hold back the development of authentic scientific 10 . A more philosophically informed methodology would create learning environments that not only tolerate but actively 11 the productive failures that naturally occur during genuine investigation. By engaging thoughtfully with unexpected results, students develop the methodical understanding and intellectual 12 essential for innovative research.
Ultimately, recognizing the indispensable role of failure 13 changes our understanding of scientific progress itself. The most groundbreaking advances frequently emerge not in spite of failures but because of the 14 tension they reveal. A sophisticated understanding of scientific methodology therefore requires us to regard failure not as the end of inquiry, but as a(n) 15 and generative dimension of the scientific enterprise.
1. A. instead B. therefore C. meanwhile D. besides
2. A. guides B. conclusions C. rewards D. theories
3. A. predicted B. interpreted C. encountered D. ignored
4. A. improved B. confirmed C. frustrated D. simplified
5. A. Especially B. Furthermore C. Nevertheless D. Moreover
6. A. success B. approach C. failure D. achievement
7. A. prediction B. observation C. intuition D. imagination
8. A. invitation B. obligation C. limitation D. repetition
9. A. policy B. education C. funding D. publication
10. A. accuracy B. curiosity C. frame D. agreement
11. A. avoid B. fear C. embrace D. document
12. A. discipline B. flexibility C. stability D. certainty
13. A. temporarily B. accidentally C. fundamentally D. typically
14. A. conceptual B. physical C. emotional D. creative
15. A. optional B. essential C. terminal D. symbolic
【答案】1. A 2. A 3. B 4. C 5. C 6. C 7. B 8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C 12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B

The complex 1 not only refers to the unbelievable variety of life on Earth, but to how everything from genes to entire ecosystems interact to make the planet habitable. The bad news: science shows that biodiversity is 2 worldwide at a faster rate than at any time in human history. That’s obviously devastating for everything in nature--including us.
“If biodiversity disappears, so do people,” says Dr. Stephen Woodley, field ecologist and bio-diversity expert with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “We are part of the 3 and we do not exist without it.”
Preventing such a catastrophe, says Woodley, begins with understanding why biodiversity is declining, and then taking action to 4 course.
“The two greatest 5 of biodiversity loss are habitat loss, primarily on land, and overexploitation, primarily in the ocean,” Woodley says. He explains that we can solve these problems by permanently 6 more lands and oceans and managing them for their conservation values.
That's the mission of the global Campaign for Nature, a partnership of the Wyss Foundation and the National Geographic Society. Instead of simply protecting 30 percent of the Earth, the 7 also encourages nations, in full partnership with local communities, to focus on the right 30 percent. Those areas, says Woodley, 8 the most important biodiversity, such as endangered species and ecosystems and rare species and ecosystems.
The campaign also recognizes the importance of 9 local rights. Local peoples manage or hold tenure(保有权) over lands that support about 80 percent of the world's biodiversity, making it 10 for these communities to be full partners in developing and implementing strategies.
11 , protecting the health of key biodiversity areas is vital for tackling climate change, says National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Enric Sala. Pairing the international Paris Agreement to combat climate change, Sala's paper asserts, “would 12 catastrophic(灾难性的) climate change, conserve species, and secure essential ecosystem services.”
“Biodiversity is stability,” says Sala. “Trees, wetlands, grasslands, peat bogs(泥炭沼泽), salt marshes(盐沼), healthy ocean ecosystems, mangroves(红树林), and plants 13 much of the carbon pollution humans put into the atmosphere. Yet, right now, less than half of the planet is in its natural state, which isn't enough.” Bottom line: Nature needs us to act-now. “Moving to Mars is not a(n) 14 ,” Sala adds. “The only conditions for our life and for the prosperity of human society are here on Earth ...we are 15 protecting it.”

文章围绕“科技乐观主义的消退与对科技的悲观情绪”这一主题展开,通过对比过去与现在的科技发展及其影响,提出了对科技发展的担忧与反思,并进一步探讨了应对科技相关问题的策略。
【25-26高二上·上海复旦大学附属中学·期中】Faster, cheaper, better — technology is one field many people rely upon to offer a vision of a brighter future. But as the 2020s dawn, 1 is in short supply. The new technologies that dominated the past decade seem to be making things worse. Social media were supposed to bring people together. Today they are better known for 2 privacy, spreading propaganda and undermining democracy. E-commerce, ride-hailing and the gig economy may be convenient, but they are 3 with underpaying workers, exacerbating inequality and blocking the streets with vehicles. Parents worry that smartphones have turned their children into screen-addicted zombies.
The New York Times 4 the spreading gloom. “A mood of pessimism”, it writes, has 5 “the idea of inevitable progress born in the scientific and industrial revolutions.” Today’s gloomy mood is centred on smartphones and social media, which took off a decade ago. Yet concerns that humanity has taken a 6 wrong turn have arisen before. In the 1970s the gloom was prompted by concerns about overpopulation, environmental damage and the prospect of nuclear killing. The 1920s witnessed a backlash against cars, which had earlier been seen as a miraculous 7 to the suffering of horse-drawn vehicles.
Stand back, and in each of these historical cases disappointment arose from a mix of unrealized hopes and unforeseen consequences. Technology releases the forces of creative destruction, so it is only 8 that it leads to anxiety; for any given technology its drawbacks sometimes seem to 9 its benefits. When this happens with several technologies at once, the result is a wider sense of techno-pessimism.
10 , that pessimism can be overdone. Too often people focus on the drawbacks of a new technology while taking its benefits for granted. A further danger is that Luddite (厌恶技术的人) efforts to avoid the short-term costs associated with a new technology will end up 11 access to its long-term benefit — something Carl Benedict Frey, an Oxford academic, calls a “technology trap”. Fears that robots will steal people’s jobs may prompt politicians to tax them, for example, to 12 their use. Yet in the long run countries that wish to maintain their standard of living as their workforce ages and shrinks will need more robots, not fewer.
That points to another lesson, which is that the remedy to technology-related problems very often 13 more technology. Airbags and other improvements in safety features, for example, mean that in America deaths in car accidents per billion miles travelled have fallen from around 240 in the 1920s to around 12 today. AI is being applied as part of the effort to stem the flow of extreme material on social media.
Technology itself has no 14 : it is the choices people make about it that shape the world. Thus the techlash is a necessary step in the adoption of important new technologies. At its best, it helps frame how society comes to terms with innovations and imposes rules and policies that limit their 15 potential, accommodate change or strike a trade-off. Healthy scepticism means that these questions are settled by a broad debate, not by a coterie of technologists.
1. A. acceptance B. optimism C. assurance D. certainty
2. A. sharing B. protecting C. invading D. seeking
3. A. charged B. filled C. credited D. confronted
4. A. looks for B. works out C. brings about D. sums up
5. A. reinforced B. defended C. displaced D. clarified
6. A. technological B. economical C. industrial D. historical
7. A. threat B. answer C. obstacle D. challenge
8. A. abnormal B. natural C. certain D. typical

12. A. encourage B. regulate C. discourage D. accelerate
13. A. facilitates B. involves C. overlooks D. complicates
14. A. autonomy B. responsibility C. direction D. virtue
15. A. revolutionary B. innovative C. beneficial D. destructive
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 8. B 9. D 10. A 11. B 12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·重庆九校联盟·期中)When I was fourteen, I was going through one of the lowest points in my life. 1 with anxiety, loneliness, and a lack of self-worth, I often hid my 2 , convinced that no one would truly appreciate them. Those were the years when I 3 myself most and avoided 4 at all costs.

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·上海崇明中学·期中)In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant progress, changing how we work, live, and connect. Today, AI is not just a tool for making predictions or assisting humans; it can now act 1 , completing tasks and making decisions. This shift marks the beginning of a “digital labor revolution.”
AI agents, powered by machine learning, can generate text, compose music, and design images. These agents can work on their own, 2 with other AI systems, or assist humans. Unlike traditional automation, which replaced simple tasks, AI agents have the potential to perform 3 jobs, increasing productivity across industries.
AI-driven automation has the power to transform economies. By taking over repetitive and routine tasks, AI allows workers to focus on creative and 4 activities. This leads to higher efficiency, economic growth, and innovation. In fact, AI-driven productivity increased by 2.2% in the third quarter of 2024.
However, the rise of AI also raises 5 . As AI becomes more capable, some fear job losses and increased inequality. Historically, though, technological advancements have created more jobs than they have 6 . In 1950, 43 million Americans had jobs; by 2020, that number had risen to 152 million. The key to managing this transition is education — training people to work alongside AI and developing new 7 .
AI’s impact goes beyond business. It can be used to expand opportunities for education and career development. For example, the nonprofit organization College Possible uses an AI-powered virtual counselor to 8 students with college applications. This technology helps bridge the gap between students and overworked human counselors, ensuring that more students receive 9 .
Similarly, AI is improving the job application process. The Adecco Group, a global human resources company, now uses AI to quickly 10 job seekers with employers. This reduces waiting times and helps more people find 11 employment.
The future of AI depends on how we use it. If applied responsibly, AI can improve efficiency, create opportunities, and 12 human potential. Governments, businesses, and researchers must work together to ensure AI’s moral development, promoting fairness, responsibility, and 13 .
Standing at the edge of this new era, we must embrace AI with 14 . Used wisely, AI has the power to boost economic growth, enhance human skills, and drive progress worldwide. The key is to balance innovation with 15 , ensuring that AI serves humanity in the best possible way.

Passage 2
(25-26高二上·湖北十堰八校教联体学校·期中)This summer vacation, some of my best friends and I climbed Wudang Mountain, situated in Shiyan City of northwest Hubei Province. It was extremely challenging for me.

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·上海徐汇区上海中学·期中)The conventional portrayal of scientific advancement as a straightforward gathering of successes presents a fundamentally misleading picture. Authentic scientific progress is rarely straight; 1 , it follows a winding path filled with unexpected obstacles and definitive failures. Rather than representing mere blocks, these apparent setbacks frequently function as important 2 that re-orient research toward more promising directions and deeper understanding.
The discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation offers a particularly instructive case study. When radio astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson first detected persistent interference (干扰) in their measurements, they naturally 3 this usual signal as evidence of equipment problem. The signal consistently 4 their attempts to collect clean astronomical data, prompting an extensive investigation into potential technical sources. After systematically removing all thinkable sources cause, they faced an inescapable reality: the interference persisted despite their most diligent efforts. 5 , this very persistence pushed them to consider more extraordinary explanations. What began as a technical 6 ultimately turned into one of the most significant cosmological discoveries of the modern era.
This historical episode illuminates a crucial principle of scientific methods: the genuine value of an investigation often lies not in confirming expected results, but in how researchers respond to differences between theory and 7 . When experimental data consistently contradict theoretical predictions, the most innovative scientists perceive not failure but opportunity — an 8 to reexamine fundamental assumptions and theoretical frameworks. Such moments of conflict frequently catalyze scientific breakthroughs, stimulating the development of more comprehensive theories.
These insights carry profound implications for science 9 . Traditional teaching approaches that emphasize predetermined outcomes and rapid success may accidentally hold back the development of authentic scientific 10 . A more philosophically informed methodology would create learning environments that not only tolerate but actively 11 the productive failures that naturally occur during genuine investigation. By engaging thoughtfully with unexpected results, students develop the methodical understanding and intellectual 12 essential for innovative research.
Ultimately, recognizing the indispensable role of failure 13 changes our understanding of scientific progress itself. The most groundbreaking advances frequently emerge not in spite of failures but because of the 14 tension they reveal. A sophisticated understanding of scientific methodology therefore requires us to regard failure not as the end of inquiry, but as a(n) 15 and generative dimension of the scientific enterprise.

Passage 2
(25-26高二上·江苏盐城一中·期中)A message caught me by surprise. It came from my Ph.D. adviser as I was sitting in the lab 1 my latest experiment. He asked if I’d apply for a fellowship from the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). My 2 flooded back.
Two years before, I’d written a mock proposal (模拟提案) for my department’s Ph.D. qualifying exam. The result was a practical but not creative proposal, which didn’t 3 the reviewers. I failed the exam.
The next day, in my adviser’s office, I tried to stay calm as we went over the 4 . They said my proposal lacked 5 . I’d heard a Ph.D. was about creating new knowledge, and I was off to a bad 6 .

Passage 1
(25-26高二上·上海控江中学·期中)Biodiversity is a concept that's commonly referenced, yet regularly misunderstood. The complex 1 not only refers to the unbelievable variety of life on Earth, but to how everything from genes to entire ecosystems interact to make the planet habitable. The bad news: science shows that biodiversity is 2 worldwide at a faster rate than at any time in human history. That’s obviously devastating for everything in nature--including us.
“If biodiversity disappears, so do people,” says Dr. Stephen Woodley, field ecologist and bio-diversity expert with the International Union for Conservation of Nature. “We are part of the 3 and we do not exist without it.”
Preventing such a catastrophe, says Woodley, begins with understanding why biodiversity is declining, and then taking action to 4 course.
“The two greatest 5 of biodiversity loss are habitat loss, primarily on land, and overexploitation, primarily in the ocean,” Woodley says. He explains that we can solve these problems by permanently 6 more lands and oceans and managing them for their conservation values.
That's the mission of the global Campaign for Nature, a partnership of the Wyss Foundation and the National Geographic Society. Instead of simply protecting 30 percent of the Earth, the 7 also encourages nations, in full partnership with local communities, to focus on the right 30 percent. Those areas, says Woodley, 8 the most important biodiversity, such as endangered species and ecosystems and rare species and ecosystems.
The campaign also recognizes the importance of 9 local rights. Local peoples manage or hold tenure(保有权) over lands that support about 80 percent of the world's biodiversity, making it 10 for these communities to be full partners in developing and implementing strategies.
11 , protecting the health of key biodiversity areas is vital for tackling climate change, says National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Enric Sala. Pairing the international Paris Agreement to combat climate change, Sala's paper asserts, “would 12 catastrophic(灾难性的) climate change, conserve species, and secure essential ecosystem services.”
“Biodiversity is stability,” says Sala. “Trees, wetlands, grasslands, peat bogs(泥炭沼泽), salt marshes(盐沼), healthy ocean ecosystems, mangroves(红树林), and plants 13 much of the carbon pollution humans put into the atmosphere. Yet, right now, less than half of the planet is in its natural state, which isn't enough.” Bottom line: Nature needs us to act-now. “Moving to Mars is not a(n) 14 ,” Sala adds. “The only conditions for our life and for the prosperity of human society are here on Earth ...we are 15 protecting it.”

【25-26高二上·上海复旦大学附属中学·期中】Faster, cheaper, better — technology is one field many people rely upon to offer a vision of a brighter future. But as the 2020s dawn, 1 is in short supply. The new technologies that dominated the past decade seem to be making things worse. Social media were supposed to bring people together. Today they are better known for 2 privacy, spreading propaganda and undermining democracy. E-commerce, ride-hailing and the gig economy may be convenient, but they are 3 with underpaying workers, exacerbating inequality and blocking the streets with vehicles. Parents worry that smartphones have turned their children into screen-addicted zombies.
The New York Times 4 the spreading gloom. “A mood of pessimism”, it writes, has 5 “the idea of inevitable progress born in the scientific and industrial revolutions.” Today’s gloomy mood is centred on smartphones and social media, which took off a decade ago. Yet concerns that humanity has taken a 6 wrong turn have arisen before. In the 1970s the gloom was prompted by concerns about overpopulation, environmental damage and the prospect of nuclear killing. The 1920s witnessed a backlash against cars, which had earlier been seen as a miraculous 7 to the suffering of horse-drawn vehicles.
Stand back, and in each of these historical cases disappointment arose from a mix of unrealized hopes and unforeseen consequences. Technology releases the forces of creative destruction, so it is only 8 that it leads to anxiety; for any given technology its drawbacks sometimes seem to 9 its benefits. When this happens with several technologies at once, the result is a wider sense of techno-pessimism.
10 , that pessimism can be overdone. Too often people focus on the drawbacks of a new technology while taking its benefits for granted. A further danger is that Luddite (厌恶技术的人) efforts to avoid the short-term costs associated with a new technology will end up 11 access to its long-term benefit — something Carl Benedict Frey, an Oxford academic, calls a “technology trap”. Fears that robots will steal people’s jobs may prompt politicians to tax them, for example, to 12 their use. Yet in the long run countries that wish to maintain their standard of living as their workforce ages and shrinks will need more robots, not fewer.
That points to another lesson, which is that the remedy to technology-related problems very often 13 more technology. Airbags and other improvements in safety features, for example, mean that in America deaths in car accidents per billion miles travelled have fallen from around 240 in the 1920s to around 12 today. AI is being applied as part of the effort to stem the flow of extreme material on social media.
Technology itself has no 14 : it is the choices people make about it that shape the world. Thus the techlash is a necessary step in the adoption of important new technologies. At its best, it helps frame how society comes to terms with innovations and imposes rules and policies that limit their 15 potential, accommodate change or strike a trade-off. Healthy scepticism means that these questions are settled by a broad debate, not by a coterie of technologists.
