Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists. It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking. According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking. 28. What do people usually think of British food? A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition. C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation. 29. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV? A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential. 30. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now? A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%. 31. What might the author continue talking about? A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes. C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters. 【综合实战演练】 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage1 阅读理解 应用文 258 介绍 Netflix、Hulu、Max 和 Apple TV+ 四大流媒体平台的节目内容与价格，为观众选择提供参考 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 383 "选择悖论"：过多选择反而导致决策瘫痪、降低满意度，区分 "最大化者" 与 "满足者"，建议主动缩减选择 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 318 基于 Common Sense Media 研究，青少年日益依赖 AI 伴侣满足情感与社交需求，专家警示其对社交技能发展的隐患 Passage4 阅读理解 议论文 282 社交媒体的利与弊：便于分享与协作，但也造成信息过载、虚假信息传播和心理健康问题，呼吁理性使用 Passage5 七选五 说明文 193 识别假新闻的实用建议：检查信息来源、警惕假图片、多平台核实、不转发已知假新闻 Passage6 七选五 议论文 221 幽默在科学传播中的作用：既能简化知识、增强参与度，使用不当也会损害公信力，是把双刃剑 Passage7 完形填空 记叙文 242 作者因沉溺社交媒体感到压抑，前往无网络偏远村庄 "数字戒断"，通过与老人真实互动领悟唯有真实在场才能联结心灵 Passage8 完形填空 记叙文 231 15 岁少年 Heman Bekele 发明可能治疗皮肤癌的药物肥皂，获 3M 青年科学家挑战赛大奖，被《时代》周刊评为 2025 年度儿童 Passage9 语法填空 新闻报道 230 美国用户因担忧 TikTok 禁令涌入小红书，意外促进中美用户文化交流与中文学习，展现数字时代的民间外交 Passage 1 （2025-2026·湖南株洲高二下期末）The Updates on Streaming These days, if you don’t stream, it feels an awful lot as if you’re swimming against the stream. Streaming is more straightforward than ever. If you have a newer TV, all you have to do is select one of the built-in apps and sign up to start watching. Besides giving you more to watch, cutting the cable (有线电视) could save you money. Here’s the rundown on the major services and the big shows and movies they offer. Netflix The granddaddy of streaming built a dynasty on fantastic shows with established fan bases, like Friends and Grey’s Anatomy. Then Netflix went all in on award-winning and fan-favorite originals like House of Cards etc. Price: $6.99/month with ads; $15.49/month ad-free. Hulu Once little more than Netflix’s under-study, Hulu is coming for top name since 2019. As a giant, it now offers basic subscriptions including original Hulu shows like The Bear etc, as well as some popular films. Price: $7.99/month with ads; $17.99/month ad-free. Max Max’s predecessor (前身), HBO Go, was more a library to shelve past seasons of its hits such as Game of Thrones and The Sopranos. But now, it’s no longer HB-Only. Viewers can go through Discovery titles like House Hunters and feature films such as Dune, and Don’t Worry Darling. Price: $9.99/month with ads; $15.99/month ad-free. Apple TV+ Apple’s is the only major service with exclusively original programming and no ads. That means no old shows, only the new cutting-edge series and films produced by Apple Studios. Price: $9.99/month. 1.What can a viewer get from streaming? A.A free cable. B.Tips on swimming skills. C.Built-in apps. D.Easier access to hit movies. 2. Which of the following is possibly the earliest streaming provider? A.Netflix. B.Hulu. C.Max. D.Apple TV+. 3. How much should a user pay at least for a service without ads for two months? A.$13.98. B.$17.99. C.$19.98. D.$31.98. Passage 2 （2025-2026·湖南长沙高二下期末）Imagine standing in front of a supermarket shelf with 40 types of jam. You might think more choices would make you happier, but research suggests otherwise. The “Paradox of Choice” is a fascinating concept that has interested sociologists for decades. On the surface, more options seem to offer more freedom and satisfaction. We live in an age when the vast abundance of choices, from streaming services to online shopping, should, in theory, make our lives better. However, research has shown that this overwhelming variety can lead to “decision paralysis,” where we get stuck with so many options that we can hardly make up our minds. In fact, an abundance of choices can reduce overall satisfaction with our decisions. Psychologist Barry Schwartz explains that people who are presented with too many options tend to become “maximizers” — individuals who keep trying to find the best choice. They compare every feature, price, and possibility, often fearing that they might miss out on a better option. This leads to a state of constant regret, even before the decision is made, as they worry about what they might have overlooked. In contrast, “satisfiers” look for something that meets their basic needs and are generally happier with their outcomes. They don’t need the best option; they just need one that works for them. They are content with their choices because they aren’t paralyzed by the possibility of making the wrong one. While maximizers are trapped in endless comparison, satisfiers are content because they aren’t paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice. Social media has made this paradox even worse by acting as a “never-ending comparison machine.” We no longer just compare ourselves to our neighbors, but we compare our lives to edited, idealized versions of other people’s lives around the world. This constant exposure to better alternatives only increases the sense of discontent with our own decisions. To address this, some experts recommend voluntary limitation. By consciously limiting our choices, whether it’s through a minimalist wardrobe (衣柜) or a simplified diet, we can reduce unnecessary mental pressure that stops us from deciding easily. The goal is not to have less, but to free up space for what truly matters to us. By intentionally narrowing our options, we can make more room for meaningful experiences. 4.What is the author’s attitude to diverse choices? A.Critical. B.Enthusiastic. C.Dismissive. D.Defensive. 5. What is a typical behavior of a “satisfier”? A.Making quick decisions naturally. B.Feeling satisfied with every choice. C.Seeking the perfect option constantly. D.Caring much about online comparisons. 6. What role does social media play in the paradox of choice? A.It helps people find better deals online. B.It simplifies the decision-making process. C.It provides a realistic view of others’ lives. D.It fuels dissatisfaction with one’s own choices. 7. What does “voluntary limitation” imply in the last paragraph? A.A lack of digital resources. B.A loss of personal freedom. C.A strategic reduction of choices. D.A temporary break from technology. Passage 3 （2025-2026·湖南怀化高一下期末）For the past couple of years, concerns about cheating at school have dominated (主导) the conversation around kids and artificial intelligence. But AI is playing a much larger role in many of their lives. AI, teens say, has become a go-to source for personal advice, emotional support, everyday decision-making and problem-solving. More than 70% of teens have used AI companions and half use them regularly, according to a new study from Common Sense Media, a group that studies and advocates for using screens and digital media sensibly. The study defines AI companions as platforms designed to serve as “digital friends,” like Character AI or Replika. They can be customized with specific personalities and can offer emotional support, companionship and conversations. But popular sites like ChatGPT and Claude, which mainly answer questions, are being used in the same way. In the same survey, 31% of teens said their conversations with AI companions were “as satisfying or more satisfying” than talking with real friends. Even though half of teens said they distrusted AI’s advice, 33% had discussed serious or important issues with AI instead of real people. Those findings are concerning, says Michael Robb, the study’s lead author, and we should send a warning to parents, teachers and policymakers. Adolescence is a critical time for developing identity, social skills and independence, Robb said, and AI companions should add to — not replace — real-world interactions. “If teens are developing social skills on AI platforms where they are constantly being praised, not being challenged, not learning to read social signals or understand somebody else’s perspective, they are not going to be well prepared in the real world,” he said. The nonprofit analyzed several popular AI companions in a “risk assessment,” finding ineffective age limits and that the platforms can give dangerous advice and offer harmful content. Based on these findings, the group recommends that teenagers not use AI companions. 8. What can we learn about AI companions? A.They have weakened real-life friendships. B.Most teens trust them more than real friends. C.They meet teens’ emotional and practical needs. D.They are mainly designed to stop school cheating. 9. How does the author develop paragraphs 3 and 4? A.By giving personal examples. B.By describing historical events. C.By explaining scientific concepts. D.By presenting data and quotations. 10. What is Michael Robb’s attitude towards teens using AI companions? A.Worried. B.Supportive. C.Confused. D.Uncaring. 11. What is the best title for the text? A.The Dangers of AI Use in Schools B.Ways to Build Teens’ Social Skills C.A New Solution to Teenage Loneliness D.Teens’ Growing Use of AI Companions Passage 4 （2025-2026·陕西西安高一下期末）In today’s digital age, social media has become an integral part of our lives. It allows us to connect with friends, family, and even strangers from all over the world. However, the question of whether social media is a blessing or a curse has sparked intense debate. On one hand, social media provides numerous benefits. It enables us to share our lives, experiences, and ideas with a vast audience instantly. For students, it can be a great platform to collaborate on school projects, exchange study resources, and learn from each other. Moreover, it helps long-distance relationships stay strong as people can easily keep in touch through photos, videos, and messages. On the other hand, social media also has its downsides. The constant stream of information can be overwhelming and distracting. Many people find themselves spending hours scrolling through their feeds, wasting precious time that could have been used for more productive activities. Additionally, the spread of false information is a major concern. Rumors and fake news can travel at lightning speed on social media, causing panic and confusion among the public. Another negative aspect is the potential impact on mental health. Studies have shown that excessive use of social media can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and low self-esteem. People often compare their lives to the seemingly perfect lives of others they see online, which can make them feel inadequate. In conclusion, while social media offers many advantages, we must also be aware of its drawbacks and use it responsibly. By setting limits on our usage and being critical of the information we consume, we can make the most of this powerful tool without falling victim to its negative effects. 12. What is the main idea of this passage? A.Social media is only beneficial to people. B.Social media has both positive and negative aspects. C.Social media is a curse and should be avoided. D.Social media helps students with their studies only. 13. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a benefit of social media? A.Enabling people to share their lives. B.Helping long-distance relationships. C.Spreading false information. D.Providing a platform for students to collaborate. 14. Why can social media have a negative impact on mental health? A.Because it makes people feel lonely, anxious, and have low self-esteem. B.Because it takes up too much of people’s time. C.Because it provides too much useful information. D.Because it helps people connect with strangers. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards social media? A.Totally positive. B.Totally negative. C.Neutral. D.Indifferent. Passage 5 （2025-2026·湖南张家界高一下期末）Every time you’re online, you are showered by pictures, articles, links and videos trying to tell their stories.       16       There is a range of fake (假的) news. Read these tips, and don’t get fooled! Check the source.       17       Fake news websites often use addresses that sound like real newspaper, but don’t have many real stories about other topics. If you aren’t sure, click on the “About” page and look for a clear description of the organization.       18       Many fake news stories use images that are Photo-shopped or taken from an unrelated site. Sometimes, if you just look closely at an image, you can see if it has been changed.       19       It will show you if the same image has been used in other contexts. Check the story in other places. Look to see if the story is on other news sites that you know and trust.       20       then it probably isn’t fake (although there are some exceptions), as many big news organizations try to check their sources before they publish a story. If you find a news story that you know is fake, the most important advice is: don’t share it! A.Watch out for fake photos. B.If you do find it on many other sites, C.If you know these things from online news, D.Unfortunately, not all these stories are true. E.Until now, fake news will appear now and again. F.Look at the website where the story comes from. G.You can also use a tool like Google Reverse Image search. Passage 6 （2025-2026·湖南常德高二下期末）People favor humor, as it lights up daily moments, eases awkwardness and makes every interaction warm and enjoyable. This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online.       21       Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge.       22       For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand.       23       Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers.       24       The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility. Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness.       25       Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular. A.Overuse harms professionalism. B.It also boosts audience engagement effectively. C.It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant. D.A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect. E.Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though. F.It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people. G.It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication.

Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists. It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking. According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking. 28. What do people usually think of British food? A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition. C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation. 29. Which best describes cookery programme on British TV? A. Authoritative. B. Creative. C. Profitable. D. Influential. 30. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now? A. 20%. B. 24%. C. 25%. D. 33%. 31. What might the author continue talking about? A. The art of cooking in other countries. B. Male chefs on TV programmes. C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of big eaters. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本篇是一篇说明文，介绍英国人在英国烹饪节目的影响下改变对烹饪的看法，并尝试新的烹饪习惯。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting?”（当你想到英国食物时，你会想到什么？你可能想到的是炸鱼薯条，或是一肉两菜的周日晚餐。但是，英国食物真的如此无趣吗？）可知，提及英国食物，大家往往只是想到炸鱼薯条和周日烤肉，所以人们通常会觉得英国食物平平无奇。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits.”（正是由于电视上的这些大厨，而不是凭借广告宣传活动，英国人正在远离“一肉两菜”和速食餐，而变得更加愿意探索新的烹饪习惯。）和“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”（似乎电视节目帮助改变了人们对烹饪的看法。）可知，英国的烹饪节目能够改变英国人对烹饪的看法，尝试从传统的英式饮食走出来，尝试新的烹饪习惯，由此推知英国的烹饪节目具有很大的影响力。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before.”（几乎三分之一的人表示他们现在使用的配料比以前更多，将近四分之一的人表示他们现在购买的配料质量比以前更好。）可知，三分之一左右的人，也就是33%左右的人，使用的配料比以前更多。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句“With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.”（随着电视上出现越来越多男性厨师，男孩子喜欢烹饪不再是一件“不酷”的事了。）可知，接下来，文章应该具体介绍电视上的男性厨师，从而与上文形成语义连贯。故选B项。 ( It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. 正是这些电视大厨，而非广告宣传，使得英国人不再固守传统一肉两菜与预制餐，在饮食习惯上变得更愿意尝试新事物。（ 强调句 ，单元重点句型） Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists. 尽管英国菜肴素来评价平平，但如今涌现出更多顶级大厨，他们频繁亮相电视，所著食谱也常登上畅销书榜单。（ who/whose 定语从句嵌套） ) ( have a reputation for 因 …… 而出名 top class chefs 顶级厨师 appear on television screens 出现在电视屏幕上 top the best seller lists 位居畅销书榜首 advertising campaign 广告宣传活动 turn away from 摒弃；不再选择 ready-made meals 预制菜；即食餐 be adventurous in … 在 …… 方面敢于尝试 stick to a traditional diet 坚持传统饮食 apply for 申请 expand one’s knowledge and skills 拓展知识与技能 be broadcast 播出（节目） ) 【综合实战演练】 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 Passage1 阅读理解 应用文 258 介绍 Netflix、Hulu、Max 和 Apple TV+ 四大流媒体平台的节目内容与价格，为观众选择提供参考 Passage2 阅读理解 说明文 383 "选择悖论"：过多选择反而导致决策瘫痪、降低满意度，区分 "最大化者" 与 "满足者"，建议主动缩减选择 Passage3 阅读理解 说明文 318 基于 Common Sense Media 研究，青少年日益依赖 AI 伴侣满足情感与社交需求，专家警示其对社交技能发展的隐患 Passage4 阅读理解 议论文 282 社交媒体的利与弊：便于分享与协作，但也造成信息过载、虚假信息传播和心理健康问题，呼吁理性使用 Passage5 七选五 说明文 193 识别假新闻的实用建议：检查信息来源、警惕假图片、多平台核实、不转发已知假新闻 Passage6 七选五 议论文 221 幽默在科学传播中的作用：既能简化知识、增强参与度，使用不当也会损害公信力，是把双刃剑 Passage7 完形填空 记叙文 242 作者因沉溺社交媒体感到压抑，前往无网络偏远村庄 "数字戒断"，通过与老人真实互动领悟唯有真实在场才能联结心灵 Passage8 完形填空 记叙文 231 15 岁少年 Heman Bekele 发明可能治疗皮肤癌的药物肥皂，获 3M 青年科学家挑战赛大奖，被《时代》周刊评为 2025 年度儿童 Passage9 语法填空 新闻报道 230 美国用户因担忧 TikTok 禁令涌入小红书，意外促进中美用户文化交流与中文学习，展现数字时代的民间外交 Passage 1 （2025-2026·湖南株洲高二下期末）The Updates on Streaming These days, if you don’t stream, it feels an awful lot as if you’re swimming against the stream. Streaming is more straightforward than ever. If you have a newer TV, all you have to do is select one of the built-in apps and sign up to start watching. Besides giving you more to watch, cutting the cable (有线电视) could save you money. Here’s the rundown on the major services and the big shows and movies they offer. Netflix The granddaddy of streaming built a dynasty on fantastic shows with established fan bases, like Friends and Grey’s Anatomy. Then Netflix went all in on award-winning and fan-favorite originals like House of Cards etc. Price: $6.99/month with ads; $15.49/month ad-free. Hulu Once little more than Netflix’s under-study, Hulu is coming for top name since 2019. As a giant, it now offers basic subscriptions including original Hulu shows like The Bear etc, as well as some popular films. Price: $7.99/month with ads; $17.99/month ad-free. Max Max’s predecessor (前身), HBO Go, was more a library to shelve past seasons of its hits such as Game of Thrones and The Sopranos. But now, it’s no longer HB-Only. Viewers can go through Discovery titles like House Hunters and feature films such as Dune, and Don’t Worry Darling. Price: $9.99/month with ads; $15.99/month ad-free. Apple TV+ Apple’s is the only major service with exclusively original programming and no ads. That means no old shows, only the new cutting-edge series and films produced by Apple Studios. Price: $9.99/month. 1.What can a viewer get from streaming? A.A free cable. B.Tips on swimming skills. C.Built-in apps. D.Easier access to hit movies. 2. Which of the following is possibly the earliest streaming provider? A.Netflix. B.Hulu. C.Max. D.Apple TV+. 3. How much should a user pay at least for a service without ads for two months? A.$13.98. B.$17.99. C.$19.98. D.$31.98. 【答案】1.D 2.A 3.C 【解析】语篇解读：这是一篇应用文。介绍了Netflix、Hulu、Max和Apple TV+四大流媒体平台的特点、节目内容和价格信息，为观众选择提供参考。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中 “Besides giving you more to watch, cutting the cable could save you money” 以及后文对各平台热门节目和电影的介绍可知，流媒体让观众更容易获取热门电影。D 项 “更容易获取热门电影” 与原文一致。A 项 “免费有线电视” 与 “cutting the cable” 矛盾；B 项 “游泳技巧提示” 是对 “swimming against the stream” 的曲解；C 项 “内置应用” 是实现方式而非观众获得的内容。由此可知，选 D 项。 2. 细节理解题。根据 Netflix 部分中 “The granddaddy of streaming built a dynasty on fantastic shows with established fan bases, like Friends and Grey’s Anatomy.” 可知，Netflix被称为流媒体的 “granddaddy” （鼻祖），说明它是最早的流媒体提供商。B 项 “Hulu” 文中描述为 “Netflix's under-study” （替补）；C 项 “Max” 的前身为 “HBO Go” ；D 项 “Apple TV+” 文中未提及其早期地位。由此可知，选 A 项。 3. 细节理解题。根据文中各平台无广告服务的月费：Netflix 无广告版 $15.49/月，Hulu 无广告版 $17.99/月，Max 无广告版 $15.99/月，Apple TV+ $9.99/月（无广告）。两个月的最低费用应选最便宜的无广告服务，即 Apple TV+，$9.99/月 × 2 = $19.98。A 项 "$13.98" 对应 Netflix 有广告版 $6.99/月 × 2 = $13.98，但题目要求"无广告"服务；B 项 "$17.99" 仅是 Hulu 无广告版一个月的费用，非两个月；D 项 "$31.98" 对应 Max 无广告版 $15.99/月 × 2 = $31.98，非最低费用；C 项 "$19.98" 对应 Apple TV+ $9.99/月 × 2 = $19.98，是四个平台中无广告服务两个月的最低费用。由此可知，选 C 项。 Passage 2 （2025-2026·湖南长沙高二下期末）Imagine standing in front of a supermarket shelf with 40 types of jam. You might think more choices would make you happier, but research suggests otherwise. The “Paradox of Choice” is a fascinating concept that has interested sociologists for decades. On the surface, more options seem to offer more freedom and satisfaction. We live in an age when the vast abundance of choices, from streaming services to online shopping, should, in theory, make our lives better. However, research has shown that this overwhelming variety can lead to “decision paralysis,” where we get stuck with so many options that we can hardly make up our minds. In fact, an abundance of choices can reduce overall satisfaction with our decisions. Psychologist Barry Schwartz explains that people who are presented with too many options tend to become “maximizers” — individuals who keep trying to find the best choice. They compare every feature, price, and possibility, often fearing that they might miss out on a better option. This leads to a state of constant regret, even before the decision is made, as they worry about what they might have overlooked. In contrast, “satisfiers” look for something that meets their basic needs and are generally happier with their outcomes. They don’t need the best option; they just need one that works for them. They are content with their choices because they aren’t paralyzed by the possibility of making the wrong one. While maximizers are trapped in endless comparison, satisfiers are content because they aren’t paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice. Social media has made this paradox even worse by acting as a “never-ending comparison machine.” We no longer just compare ourselves to our neighbors, but we compare our lives to edited, idealized versions of other people’s lives around the world. This constant exposure to better alternatives only increases the sense of discontent with our own decisions. To address this, some experts recommend voluntary limitation. By consciously limiting our choices, whether it’s through a minimalist wardrobe (衣柜) or a simplified diet, we can reduce unnecessary mental pressure that stops us from deciding easily. The goal is not to have less, but to free up space for what truly matters to us. By intentionally narrowing our options, we can make more room for meaningful experiences. 4.What is the author’s attitude to diverse choices? A.Critical. B.Enthusiastic. C.Dismissive. D.Defensive. 5. What is a typical behavior of a “satisfier”? A.Making quick decisions naturally. B.Feeling satisfied with every choice. C.Seeking the perfect option constantly. D.Caring much about online comparisons. 6. What role does social media play in the paradox of choice? A.It helps people find better deals online. B.It simplifies the decision-making process. C.It provides a realistic view of others’ lives. D.It fuels dissatisfaction with one’s own choices. 7. What does “voluntary limitation” imply in the last paragraph? A.A lack of digital resources. B.A loss of personal freedom. C.A strategic reduction of choices. D.A temporary break from technology. 【答案】4.A 5.A 6.D 7.C 【解析】语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。文章介绍 “选择悖论”，过多选择并不会带来幸福感，反而造成决策瘫痪、降低满意度。区分了 “最大化者” 和 “满足者” 两类人，指出社交媒体加剧该问题，专家建议主动策略性缩减选择。 4. 推理判断题。根据第一段 “You might think more choices would make you happier, but research suggests otherwise.” 以及 “In fact, an abundance of choices can reduce overall satisfaction with our decisions.” 可知，作者认为过多选择会降低决策满意度，对繁多的选择持批判态度。B 项 “热衷的”、C 项 “不屑的”、D 项 “辩护的” 均不符合作者态度。由此可知，故选 A 项。 5. 推理判断题。根据第二段 “In contrast, “satisfiers” look for something that meets their basic needs and are generally happier with their outcomes. They don’t need the best option; they just need one that works for them. They are content with their choices because they aren’t paralyzed by the possibility of making the wrong one.” 可知，满足型决策者不会被众多选择困住，能够自然快速做出决定。B 项 “对每一个选择都感到满意” 表述绝对；C 项 “不断追求完美选项” 是 maximizers 的特点；D 项 “十分在意网上攀比” 属于社交媒体带来的影响，并非 satisfier 的行为。由此可知，故选 A 项。 6. 细节理解题。根据第三段 “Social media has made this paradox even worse by acting as a “neverending comparison machine.” …This constant exposure to better alternatives only increases the sense of discontent with our own decisions.” 可知，社交媒体充当无休止的攀比机器，助长人们对自身选择的不满。A 项 “帮助人们网上找到更划算的交易” 无中生有；B 项 “简化决策过程” 与文意相反；C 项 “提供他人生活的真实面貌”，原文说明是 edited, idealized versions，并非真实。由此可知，故选 D 项。 7. 词义猜测题。根据最后一段 “By consciously limiting our choices…intentionally narrowing our options, we can make more room for meaningful experiences.”，可知“voluntary limitation” 指有意识、有策略地缩减选择范围。A 项 “数字资源匮乏”、B 项 “个人自由丧失”、D 项 “暂时远离科技” 原文均未提及。由此可知，故选 C 项。 Passage 3 （2025-2026·湖南怀化高一下期末）For the past couple of years, concerns about cheating at school have dominated (主导) the conversation around kids and artificial intelligence. But AI is playing a much larger role in many of their lives. AI, teens say, has become a go-to source for personal advice, emotional support, everyday decision-making and problem-solving. More than 70% of teens have used AI companions and half use them regularly, according to a new study from Common Sense Media, a group that studies and advocates for using screens and digital media sensibly. The study defines AI companions as platforms designed to serve as “digital friends,” like Character AI or Replika. They can be customized with specific personalities and can offer emotional support, companionship and conversations. But popular sites like ChatGPT and Claude, which mainly answer questions, are being used in the same way. In the same survey, 31% of teens said their conversations with AI companions were “as satisfying or more satisfying” than talking with real friends. Even though half of teens said they distrusted AI’s advice, 33% had discussed serious or important issues with AI instead of real people. Those findings are concerning, says Michael Robb, the study’s lead author, and we should send a warning to parents, teachers and policymakers. Adolescence is a critical time for developing identity, social skills and independence, Robb said, and AI companions should add to — not replace — real-world interactions. “If teens are developing social skills on AI platforms where they are constantly being praised, not being challenged, not learning to read social signals or understand somebody else’s perspective, they are not going to be well prepared in the real world,” he said. The nonprofit analyzed several popular AI companions in a “risk assessment,” finding ineffective age limits and that the platforms can give dangerous advice and offer harmful content. Based on these findings, the group recommends that teenagers not use AI companions. 8. What can we learn about AI companions? A.They have weakened real-life friendships. B.Most teens trust them more than real friends. C.They meet teens’ emotional and practical needs. D.They are mainly designed to stop school cheating. 9. How does the author develop paragraphs 3 and 4? A.By giving personal examples. B.By describing historical events. C.By explaining scientific concepts. D.By presenting data and quotations. 10. What is Michael Robb’s attitude towards teens using AI companions? A.Worried. B.Supportive. C.Confused. D.Uncaring. 11. What is the best title for the text? A.The Dangers of AI Use in Schools B.Ways to Build Teens’ Social Skills C.A New Solution to Teenage Loneliness D.Teens’ Growing Use of AI Companions 【答案】8.C 9.D 10.A 11.D 【解析】语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。文章基于“常识媒体”（Common Sense Media）的一项最新研究，探讨了青少年日益依赖AI伴侣来满足情感和社交需求的现象，并指出了这种趋势可能对青少年社交技能发展带来的隐患。 8. 细节理解题。细节理解题。根据第一段“AI has become a go-to source for personal advice, emotional support, everyday decision-making and problem-solving”和第二段“offer emotional support, companionship and conversations”可知，AI伴侣能满足青少年的情感需求和日常实际问题。 可知，青少年表示AI已成为他们获取个人建议、情感支持、日常决策和解决问题的首选来源。C 项“它们满足了青少年的情感和实际需求”是对原文的准确概括。A 项“削弱了现实生活中的友谊”在文中未直接提及；B 项“大多数青少年比信任真实朋友更信任它们”与原文 “Even though half of teens said they distrusted AI’s advice（尽管有一半的青少年表示不信任AI的建议）”相悖；D 项“主要设计用于阻止学校作弊”与原文 “concerns about cheating at school have dominated the conversation... But AI is playing a much larger role” 不符。由此可知，故选 C 项。 9. 推理判断题。第三段列举了31%、50%、33%等调查数据，第四段引用研究负责人Michael Robb的直接引语，因此这两段主要通过呈现数据和引用专家言论来展开论述。A项“举个人例子”、B项“描述历史事件”、C项“解释科学概念”均与文本不符。故选D。 10. 推理判断题。根据第四段“Those findings are concerning, says Michael Robb, the study’s lead author, and we should send a warning to parents, teachers and policymakers.”  可知，Michael Robb 认为这些发现令人担忧，并警告青少年在AI平台上无法学会应对现实世界的社交挑战。由此可以推断，他对青少年使用AI伴侣持担忧的态度。B 项“支持的”、C 项“困惑的”、D 项“漠不关心的”均不符合其态度。由此可知，故选 A 项。 11. 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“More than 70% of teens have used AI companions and half use them regularly, according to a new study from Common Sense Media, a group that studies and advocates for using screens and digital media sensibly.”以及全文对青少年使用AI伴侣现状及担忧的讨论，可知，文章核心是青少年越来越多地使用AI伴侣这一现象及其潜在影响。A项“AI在学校使用的危险”范围过窄，且未突出“伴侣”功能；B项“培养青少年社交技能的方法”偏离主题；C项“青少年孤独的新解决方案”片面强调正面作用，忽略专家担忧。D项“青少年日益增长的AI伴侣使用”准确概括了全文讨论的现象。故选D。 Passage 4 （2025-2026·陕西西安高一下期末）In today’s digital age, social media has become an integral part of our lives. It allows us to connect with friends, family, and even strangers from all over the world. However, the question of whether social media is a blessing or a curse has sparked intense debate. On one hand, social media provides numerous benefits. It enables us to share our lives, experiences, and ideas with a vast audience instantly. For students, it can be a great platform to collaborate on school projects, exchange study resources, and learn from each other. Moreover, it helps long-distance relationships stay strong as people can easily keep in touch through photos, videos, and messages. On the other hand, social media also has its downsides. The constant stream of information can be overwhelming and distracting. Many people find themselves spending hours scrolling through their feeds, wasting precious time that could have been used for more productive activities. Additionally, the spread of false information is a major concern. Rumors and fake news can travel at lightning speed on social media, causing panic and confusion among the public. Another negative aspect is the potential impact on mental health. Studies have shown that excessive use of social media can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and low self-esteem. People often compare their lives to the seemingly perfect lives of others they see online, which can make them feel inadequate. In conclusion, while social media offers many advantages, we must also be aware of its drawbacks and use it responsibly. By setting limits on our usage and being critical of the information we consume, we can make the most of this powerful tool without falling victim to its negative effects. 12. What is the main idea of this passage? A.Social media is only beneficial to people. B.Social media has both positive and negative aspects. C.Social media is a curse and should be avoided. D.Social media helps students with their studies only. 13. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a benefit of social media? A.Enabling people to share their lives. B.Helping long-distance relationships. C.Spreading false information. D.Providing a platform for students to collaborate. 14. Why can social media have a negative impact on mental health? A.Because it makes people feel lonely, anxious, and have low self-esteem. B.Because it takes up too much of people’s time. C.Because it provides too much useful information. D.Because it helps people connect with strangers. 15. What’s the author’s attitude towards social media? A.Totally positive. B.Totally negative. C.Neutral. D.Indifferent. 【答案】12.B 13.C 14.A 15.C 【解析】语篇解读：这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了社交媒体的利与弊：一方面它便于分享生活、协作学习和维系远距离关系，另一方面它可能导致信息过载、虚假信息传播和心理健康问题，作者呼吁人们理性使用。 12. 主旨大意题。文章第二段论述社交媒体的益处，第三、四段论述其弊端，最后一段总结 “while social media offers many advantages, we must also be aware of its drawbacks and use it responsibly” ，即社交媒体既有优点也有缺点，应当负责任地使用。A 项 “只对人们有益” 片面绝对，不能概括全文；C 项 “是祸害应当避免” 片面绝对，不能概括全文；D 项 “只帮助学生学业” 片面绝对，不能概括全文；B 项 “社交媒体既有积极的一面，也有消极的一面” 准确概括全文。由此可知，选 B 项。 13. 细节理解题。根据第二段，社交媒体的益处包括分享生活（ “share our lives, experiences, and ideas” ）、帮助学生协作（ “collaborate on school projects” ）、维系远距离关系（ “helps long-distance relationships stay strong” ）。而C 项 “传播虚假信息” 在第三段被列为弊端（ “the spread of false information is a major concern” ），不属于益处。。A 项 “让人们分享生活” 在第二段作为益处列出，不符合题意；B 项 “帮助异地关系” 在第二段作为益处列出，不符合题意；D 项 “为学生提供协作平台” 在第二段作为益处列出，不符合题意；C 项 “传播虚假信息” 在第三段被列为弊端，不属于益处，符合题意。由此可知，选 C 项。 14. 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句 “Studies have shown that excessive use of social media can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and low self-esteem.” 可知，过度使用社交媒体会导致孤独、焦虑和自卑感，这是其对心理健康产生负面影响的原因。B 项 “占用太多时间” 是第三段提到的弊端但非心理健康问题的直接原因，C 项 “提供太多有用信息” 与原文关注虚假信息矛盾，D 项 “帮助人们与陌生人联系” 是益处而非弊端；A 项 “因为它会让人们感到孤独、焦虑，并导致自尊心降低”准确概括了原文所述原因。由此可知，选A 项。 15. 推理判断题。文章既论述了社交媒体的益处，也指出了其弊端，最后总结 “while social media offers many advantages, we must also be aware of its drawbacks and use it responsibly” ，既不全面肯定也不全面否定，表明作者持客观中立的态度。A 项 “完全积极” 过于片面；B 项 “完全消极” 过于片面；D 项 “漠不关心” 与作者深入分析的态度矛盾；C 项 “客观中立” 与作者既论述益处又指出弊端、呼吁理性使用的态度一致。由此可知，选 C 项。 Passage 5 （2025-2026·湖南张家界高一下期末）Every time you’re online, you are showered by pictures, articles, links and videos trying to tell their stories.       16       There is a range of fake (假的) news.

Sometimes, if you just look closely at an image, you can see if it has been changed.       19       It will show you if the same image has been used in other contexts. Check the story in other places. Look to see if the story is on other news sites that you know and trust.       20       then it probably isn’t fake (although there are some exceptions), as many big news organizations try to check their sources before they publish a story. If you find a news story that you know is fake, the most important advice is: don’t share it! A.Watch out for fake photos. B.If you do find it on many other sites, C.If you know these things from online news, D.Unfortunately, not all these stories are true. E.Until now, fake news will appear now and again. F.Look at the website where the story comes from.

This magic of humor doesn’t just work in daily life; it also shines in the field of science, especially online.       21       Firstly, humor simplifies tough scientific knowledge.       22       For example, explaining AI in self-driving cars with a funny analogy about “machines learning like clumsy toddlers” makes abstract ideas easy for non-professional groups to understand.       23       Scientists sharing clever and humorous stories about laboratory experiments on social media often attract more interactions than dry academic posts. Additionally, humor humanizes scientists, as seen in popular science lectures where light-hearted jokes help audiences feel closer to researchers.       24       The hidden risks deserve our attention. If the content itself is untrue, humor can even replace facts, leading the audience to form wrong opinions about scientific knowledge just based on the amusing posts they see. Overusing sarcasm or negative humor also has the opposite effect, as it will quickly make scientists lose the public’s trust and damage their credibility. Proper humor use requires a balance between vivid expression and professional precision. It should neither overshadow the core scientific information nor be so shallow that it loses seriousness.       25       Scientists who master this balance can effectively narrow the divide with the public, making science more welcoming and popular. A.Overuse harms professionalism. B.It also boosts audience engagement effectively. C.It helps break the impression of scientists being cold and distant. D.A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect. E.Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though. F.It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people. G.It is believed humor needs to be used with great care in such communication. 【答案】21.D 22.F 23.B 24.E 25.A 【解析】语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了幽默在科学传播中的作用，首先肯定幽默能简化科学知识、增强受众参与度并使科学家更亲民，然后指出幽默使用不当的风险，最后强调需在生动表达与专业精确之间取得平衡。 21. 上文指出幽默不仅在日常生活中发挥作用，在科学领域尤其是网络上也大放异彩。D 项 “A little humor can greatly enhance scientists’ communication effect.” 承接上文，点明幽默能极大增强科学家的传播效果，既总结前文幽默在科学领域的作用，又引出下文对具体益处和风险的详细论述。故选 D 项。 22. 本段首句指出幽默能简化复杂的科学知识。F 项 “It’s a helper in making complex concepts understandable to ordinary people.” 进一步阐释幽默使复杂概念对普通人易于理解，其中 It 指代 humor，complex concepts 呼应前文 tough scientific knowledge，后文以自动驾驶汽车中 AI 的类比为例加以说明。故选 F 项。 23. 上文举例说明幽默使抽象概念易于理解，空处后文指出科学家在社交媒体上分享幽默的实验室故事比枯燥的学术帖子更能吸引互动。B 项 “It also boosts audience engagement effectively.” 指出幽默还能有效提升受众参与度，其中 also 承接上文的简化知识功能，audience engagement 与后文 attract more interactions 语义一致。故选 B 项。 24. 空处位于段首，后文以 The hidden risks deserve our attention 开头，详细论述幽默使用不当的风险，如虚假内容、讽刺幽默损害科学家公信力等。E 项 “Humor in scientific communication is a double-edged sword, though.” 以 double-edged sword（双刃剑）引出幽默的负面风险，though 表示转折，与前文对幽默益处的论述形成对比。故选 E 项。 25. 上文指出恰当使用幽默需要在生动表达与专业精确之间取得平衡，既不能掩盖核心科学信息，也不能过于浅薄而失去严肃性。A 项 “Overuse harms professionalism.” 指出过度使用会损害专业性，从反面强调保持平衡的必要性，后文 Scientists who master this balance 则从正面说明掌握平衡的好处，正反对比使论证更加完整。故选 A 项。 Passage 7 （2025-2026·河南高二下期中）Last summer, I felt completely depressed by the endless “likes” and “shares” on my phone.
