Passage 2
(江苏苏北四市 2025 届高三第二次调|线上线下混合学习,学生感悟)
Last year, our school tried a blended learning model. We had face-to-face classes at school on weekdays, while some learning materials and homework were put on our online learning platform. At first, I hated this change. I thought watching video lectures online was boring, and I easily got distracted by messages on my phone.
My math teacher noticed my problem. Instead of asking me to give up my phone, she taught me simple self-management skills. She suggested I set a fixed study period for online tasks and put my phone in another room. She also encouraged me to post my questions on the online discussion board. Slowly, I found that I could review difficult lessons again by replaying recorded videos. When I could not follow the teacher in class, the online resources became a helpful tool.
Months later, I changed my attitude. Blended learning does not replace classroom teaching. It gives us more control over our own study speed. Now I can go over weak points whenever I want. This experience taught me that good learners are able to make good use of different learning resources.

Passage 3
(广东六校联盟|学生同伴辅导 Peer Tutoring)
Many high schools carry out peer tutoring programs. In these programs, students with strong grades help their classmates with their study after school. Peer tutors are trained by teachers before starting work. They do not give direct answers to homework; instead, they explain difficult concepts and guide tutees to find solutions on their own.
Researchers have found many benefits of peer tutoring. For tutees, they feel less nervous asking questions from classmates than from teachers. They can learn knowledge in simple student-to-student language. For tutors themselves, teaching others helps them review and strengthen what they have learned. Explaining ideas clearly improves their logical thinking and communication skills.
However, the program also has limits. Some tutors lack patience and may give answers directly. A few students depend too much on tutors and stop thinking independently. To solve these problems, schools need clear rules and regular supervision from teachers. Tutors should receive ongoing training to stick to the guiding role.
Peer tutoring cannot replace classroom teaching, but it serves as a helpful support system inside schools.
1.What do peer tutors mainly do in the program?
A. Finish homework for their classmates.
B. Guide peers to work out problems by themselves.
C. Give marks to their classmates’ homework.
D. Replace teachers to give daily lessons.
2.Why is peer tutoring less stressful for tutees?
A. Tutors know all exam answers in advance.
B. They can ask questions more freely from peers.
C. Tutors will never correct their mistakes.
D. They do not need to prepare for tests.
3.What is one problem of peer tutoring?
A. Tutors may directly provide answers.
B. It increases teachers’ daily teaching tasks greatly.
C. It makes classroom teaching useless.
D. Tutors cannot improve their own knowledge.
4.What is the author’s opinion of peer tutoring?
A. It can take the place of classroom teaching.
B. It is a helpful supplementary school program.
C. It has too many disadvantages to carry on.
D. It only helps students with poor communication skills.
Passage 4
(山东潍坊 2026 届高三一模|学生课堂提问能力培养)
Most high school classes focus on teachers asking questions and students giving answers. Few students are trained to raise their own questions in class. Many educators believe that the ability to ask good questions matters as much as the ability to answer them.
When students create their own questions, they need to read carefully, find confusing points and think deeply. This active thinking helps them understand lessons better. Students who keep asking questions are more likely to develop critical thinking. However, many students hesitate to raise questions. They worry their questions sound silly or classmates will laugh at them.
Some schools have taken steps to change this situation. Teachers create a safe classroom culture where no question is considered stupid. In some classes, students write down their questions first and discuss them in small groups before sharing with the whole class. This lowers students’ pressure.
Raising questions is not just a learning skill. It is a way of thinking. Schools should encourage students to dare to question instead of only accepting knowledge passively.
1.What is the common situation in many high school classes?
A. Students are encouraged to raise plenty of questions.
B. Teachers mainly ask questions and students answer.
C. Students design all classroom discussion tasks.
D. Teachers seldom give any questions in class.
2.Why are many students afraid of asking questions in class?
A. They think asking questions wastes class time.
B. They believe teachers dislike questioning.
C. They fear their questions may sound foolish.
D. They have no confusing points during learning.
3.What measure do some schools take?
A. Forbid students from asking simple questions.
B. Build a classroom atmosphere to accept all questions.
C. Let students replace teachers to give lessons.
D. Ask students to answer all questions by writing.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. The value of students raising questions in class.
B. Methods of answering difficult exam questions.
C. Reasons why students are poor in studies.
D. How teachers improve their questioning skills.

Passage 2
(湖北圆创联盟|从挫败中学会自我调整)
Last term, I set a high goal for my physics study. I spent plenty of time doing extra exercises every day, expecting a satisfying progress. However, my mid‑term physics exam result was far below my expectation. I felt upset and doubted whether I had the talent for science. For several days, I lost enthusiasm for physics and even wanted to give it up.
My physics teacher noticed my discouragement. Instead of blaming my low score, she had a patient talk with me. She pointed out that I devoted much time to exercises but seldom reflected on my mistakes. I kept making similar errors because I ignored error analysis. She advised me to build a mistake notebook and review my weak points regularly rather than burying myself in endless new exercises.
I followed her advice. I slowed down my exercise speed and spent time sorting out my mistakes. I marked the cause of each error: carelessness, misunderstood concepts or wrong thinking methods. Gradually, I stopped fearing failure. Every mistake became a chance for growth. In the final exam, I made steady progress.
This experience taught me that effort alone is not enough. Wise reflection turns failures into stepping stones for improvement. Real growth lies in learning from mistakes and adjusting your ways of learning.
1. Why did the author feel upset after the mid‑term exam?
A. He spent little time on physics exercises.
B. His physics score failed to meet his hope.

3. What suggestion did the teacher give to the author?
A. Stop doing physics exercises completely.
B. Build a mistake notebook and review weaknesses.
C. Change to learn other science subjects.
D. Spend more time memorizing physics formulas.

A. High exam scores come from long hours of hard work only.
B. Mistakes should be avoided as much as possible in study.
C. Reflection helps turn failures into progress.
D. Students should never set high learning goals.
Passage 3
(福建金太阳 2026 届高三 4 月联考|元认知 metacognition 助力学习成长)
Metacognition, often called “thinking about thinking”, is one important ability for students’ learning and growth. It means students can watch over their own learning process: knowing what they have mastered, realizing where they get stuck, and adjusting learning methods when necessary.
Many students devote hours to study but achieve little progress. One main reason is the lack of metacognitive awareness. They finish tasks passively, without checking whether they truly understand knowledge. For example, after reading a text, they cannot tell which parts remain confusing. They keep repeating the same learning routines without self‑checking.
Researchers suggest several simple ways to develop metacognition. Before study, set clear learning aims: what do I plan to master today? During study, pause now and then to test yourself. After finishing learning work, carry out self‑evaluation: Have I reached my goals? Where are my weak points?
Metacognition does not mean students must get perfect grades. It helps learners take control of their own study. Instead of waiting for teachers to point out problems, students can find their own shortcomings and make improvements. It supports long‑term learning growth far beyond school examinations.
1. What does metacognition refer to according to the text?
A. Memorizing large amounts of knowledge quickly.
B. The ability to think about one’s own thinking process.
C. Solving difficult problems with creative methods.
D. Completing learning tasks within limited time.
2. Why do some students gain little progress with long study hours?
A. They have no access to good learning materials.
B. They seldom check their own learning conditions.
C. Their teachers give too few learning tasks.
D. They spend too much time on self‑evaluation.
3. Which action helps develop metacognition?
A. Setting clear learning targets in advance.
B. Finishing homework as fast as possible.
C. Waiting for teachers to find your weaknesses.
D. Avoiding difficult knowledge points.
4. What is the benefit of metacognition?
A. It guarantees students top exam scores.
B. It reduces students’ total study time greatly.
C. It enables students to manage their own learning.
D. It helps students finish all school tasks effortlessly.
Passage 4
(辽宁沈阳 2026 届一模|走出学习舒适区实现自我成长)
Many students tend to stay inside their learning comfort zone. They prefer to practice what they are already good at and avoid challenging content. Working within the comfort zone brings short‑term satisfaction, because students can get correct answers easily and feel a sense of achievement. However, staying long in comfort zones will slow personal growth.
Real improvement happens in the learning zone, where you meet unfamiliar, challenging tasks. When dealing with something slightly beyond your present level, you may feel confused or stressed. But through thinking, trying and correcting mistakes, you can gain new abilities. That is where growth takes place.
Of course, moving out of comfort zone does not mean jumping into tasks far beyond your ability, which will only cause anxiety and loss of confidence. The proper way is to accept proper challenges step by step. You can take small risks: try more difficult exercises, speak in public or learn new thinking skills. Small challenges build up your competence gradually.
Growth never comes easily. It requires courage to face discomfort. Students should dare to step out of their comfort zone, accept reasonable challenges, and keep moving forward in the learning zone.
1. What do students in the comfort zone like to do?
A. Deal with completely new challenging tasks.
B. Practice the knowledge they are good at.
C. Keep trying tasks far above their level.
D. Seek constant advice from teachers.
2. What is the short‑term advantage of staying in comfort zone?
A. It speeds up long‑term personal growth.
B. It helps students get high‑level competence quickly.
C. Students can easily get a feeling of satisfaction.
D. Students can learn lots of brand‑new skills.
3. What will happen if students face tasks much beyond their ability?
A. They will make rapid progress.
B. They will feel anxious and lose confidence.
C. They will enter the learning zone naturally.
D. They will form good learning habits.
4. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Students should get away from comfort zone properly for growth.
B. Why most teenagers prefer to live in comfort zones.
C. Different kinds of zones in teenagers’ daily life.
D. How to reduce anxiety during examinations.

Digital technology,ranging from smartphones and laptops to learning apps and AI tools,can effectively assist students' studies and daily lives.However,uncontrolled use produces numerous negative impacts.It distracts students' attention,shortens sleep time,reduces physical activity and weakens independent learning skills.Importantly,these problems stem from improper usage rather than the technology itself.
Unregulated technology use greatly lowers students' learning efficiency and quality.Classroom distraction stands out as the most common issue.According to OECD's PISA research,30 percent of students get distracted by digital devices during most math lessons,which leads to poorer academic performance.To make matters worse,many students depend heavily on online search results and AI answers.They abandon key steps for deep learning,including careful reading,independent thinking,problem analysis and mistake correction.As a result,although their homework appears finished,they fail to build solid,in﹣depth knowledge.
According to a 2025 CDC (疾控中心) report,excessive screen time does great harm to teenagers' physical and mental health.Late﹣night gaming and social media use can seriously affect teenagers' sleep.Meanwhile,prolonged screen use takes up time for outdoor sports,walking and daily exercise,leaving students in poor physical condition.In addition,social media exposes teenagers to peer comparison and the fear of missing out,causing invisible mental pressure.A 2025 CDC analysis also proves that too much non﹣school screen time is closely associated with teenagers' poor sleep,lack of exercise and negative mental states.
Thankfully,students can avoid these risks by developing scientific daily routines.Before studying,they need to keep phones away from desks,turn off distracting notifications and use only essential digital tools.Before bedtime,they should quit all online entertainment by a fixed time and charge their phones outside the bedroom.It is also advisable to finish exercise and housework before enjoying screen time.Instead of rejecting technology completely,proper management enables technology to better support students' learning and healthy growth.

Passage 4
(2019•南通一模)
Tens of thousands of young in Britain who are struggling with their mental health are seeking help online for problems such as anxiety,self﹣harm,and depression.
Soaring numbers of under﹣18s are turning to apps,online counselling and "mood diaries" to help them manage and recover from conditions that have left them feeling low,isolated and,in some cases,suicidal.
A generation of young people are attracted by being able to receive fast,personal care and advice using their phone rather than having to wait up to 18 months to be treated by an NHS mental health professional.
The shift comes as ministers prepare themselves for publication on Thursday of the first new figures for 13 years showing how common mental health problems are in the young mainly as a result of the emergence of social media and its use in fuelling feelings of inadequacy.
The number of under﹣18s using Kooth,a free online counselling(咨询的)service,has shot up from 20,000 in 2015 to 65,000 last year,and is forecast to rise further to 100,000 this year.
One hundred NHS clinical commissioning groups across England,more than half the total,have now commissioned the service.It helps young people suffering from anxiety,low mood,poor self﹣worth or confidence,self﹣harm and loneliness.
"Young people like the fact they can talk to a counsellor either instantly,or within 10 minutes,for up to an hour in the evenings.They love that immediacy",said Aaron Sefi,the research and evaluation director at XenZone,the company behind Kooth.
"They also love the anonymity involved,because they can sign up without giving their personal details.Plus,they're in control,because they are choosing to contact us rather than being told to do so."
In addition,123,138 people in the UK download.Calm Harm,an NHS﹣approved app that helps people self﹣harm less often or not at all,between April 2017 and this month.
"Users tell us that Calm Harm helps with suicidal thoughts and intent," said Dr.Nihara Krause,the consultant clinical psychologist who developed the app. "Currently 92% of our users,who are mainly female and often aged 15﹣21,say the urge reduced."
Calm Harm is among 18 apps that NHS England has endorsed(支持)to help cope with mental ill﹣health.They also include Bluelce,which helps young people manage their emotions using a mood diary and automatic routing(自动转接) to emergency help numbers if their urges to self﹣harm continue.
Experts welcomed the trend but warned that online help must complement,not replace,face﹣to﹣face appointments with therapists,psychologists and psychiatrists.
"Most young people spend much of their time online,and it can feel easier for them to communicate through messaging and online services than face﹣to﹣face," said Tom Madders,campaigns director at Young Minds,which helps people under 26.
"Evidence﹣based mental health apps and online support services can be really beneficial in helping young people to look after their own mental health,develop strategies for coping with difficult emotions,and get accessible information and advice when they need it."
Claire Murdoch,NHS England's national mental health director,said: "Technology is constantly evolving and young people are usually at the forefront,so it's no surprise increasing numbers are turning to services like these which can certainly play a part,particularly when backed up by face﹣to﹣face support."
The NHS's forthcoming long﹣term plan,due next month,will "harness(利用)all of the benefits these advancements can bring",she added.
Meanwhile,37% of the young people referred to NHS child and adolescent mental health services (Camhs) in England last year were refused help,the children's commissioner has revealed.
In an analysis of Camhs care published on Thursday,the children's commissioner for England,Anne Longfield,says that despite promises by politicians and NHS bosses to improve access, "a vast gap remains between what is provided and what children need".
While she found improvements in several areas of care,including care for eating disorders,new mothers and under﹣ 18s in the criminal justice system,overall "the current rate of progress is still not good enough for the majority of children who require help but are not receiving it".
1.Calm Harm helps teenagers to _____ .

Passage 1
(2026·四川成都高三上开学考试)
Yongronghui,a highend seafood buffet in Chengdu,has launched a twotier pricing system after upgrading its live king crab service.This change aims to meet different diners’ budgets while keeping its premium quality—a key reason it has been popular with seafood lovers since 2015.
With nine years in the premium seafood buffet sector,Yongronghui is known for “freshly prepared onsite” seafood.Unlike many buffets using prefrozen ingredients,its open kitchen lets customers watch chefs cook.The recent upgrade makes live king crab available:once only preprocessed,it now stays in temperaturecontrolled pools near dining areas,allowing customers to pick their own.This upgrade,plus higher costs of sourcing top live king crab from the North Pacific,led to the new pricing.
The Standard Tier (about 398 yuan per person) offers over 150 seafood kinds,including unlimited live Boston lobsters,yearround small lobsters,and Canadian red shrimp.It also includes 2 servings of preprocessed king crab legs per customer.The Premium Tier (around 598 yuan per person) gives unlimited live king crab,Spanish bluefin tuna,and fresh sea urchins.Both tiers keep signature services:1on1 butler help and a “nowait guarantee”—if waiting over 5 minutes for popular items during peak hours (6:008:30 PM on weekends),staff deliver food and offer free imported white wine.
The restaurant’s ambiance is pleasant too.Its main hall holds 200 guests,with private rooms for bookings of 6+ people.Lunch (11:30 AM2:00 PM) is quiet for business meals,while dinner has live jazz on Fridays and Saturdays.
Customer feedback is positive.Li Jiawei,a regular,said,“The Standard Tier lets my family try king crab without overspending;we chose Premium for our anniversary.” Tourist Wang Mei praised picking live king crab:“It makes me trust the quality.”
Yongronghui’s twotier system shows its ability to adapt to customers while sticking to fresh,highquality seafood.
1.What is the main reason for Yongronghui’s new pricing system?

Passage 2
(2026·河南三门峡高三上期中)
Approximately a decade ago,a colleague,Geoffrey,and I coincidentally scheduled morning appointments with our respective dentists.When he energetically ran into my office around lunchtime,he revealed and flashed his pearly white teeth and a bright smile,announcing:his dentist produced a 3Dprinted false tooth instantly on the spot in the clinic.
That experience signaled to me that the true potential of this technology lay in producing designed components for individual human bodies.And not being the type to spend thousands of dollars on a large device without apparent practical and household utility,I dismissed 3D printing from my thoughts.However,that changed until Jill Patton,a senior editor,started raising the subject repeatedly,who pointed out the fascinating 3D printing research underway at Stanford.And her persistence fueled my interest and encouraged me to explore further.
There are some articles that lend themselves to storytelling—for instance,Profiles like our feature on an art historian or our article on cultural critic,and some reflective essays,such as the reflection on brotherhood or on the drive down Memory Lane also fit the category,while other topics are more challenging to shape into engaging stories.Initially,3D printing sounded like just another technical subject.Yet,under the guidance of Jill and senior writer Sam Scott,it evolved into a compelling narrative story.Yet through broad and indepth conversation,Jill and Sam came to focus on four promising applications:microneedles that deliver vaccines or collect extract testing sample fluid for lab tests through the skin,miniature robots that concentrate blood clots (凝块,凝结) for safer removal,structures that aid the reconstruction of severe and complex bone breaks,and an extremely challenging task to 3D print a functional human heart within an hour,before the tissue starts to worsen.
Once our story took shape,the next challenge was how to present and convey it effectively.Illustrating this story is a creative process,which began with dynamic discussions involving the creative director Erin Sonnenschein,the art director Giorgia Virgili,Jill,Sam,and me.Creative director Erin was fascinated by the onehour heart printing concept,art director Giorgia drew inspiration from the Tin Woodman (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz《绿野仙踪》,by L.Frank Baum),and freelance illustrator Nathan Smith brought the cover to life and added whimsical (奇思妙想的) elements.My personal favorite is a sign “Currently printing:horse jaw,” while Jill appreciated the Tin Woodman perusing essential oils (精油).
All these developments make that early 3Dprinted crown seem almost elementary by comparison.
1.What made the author aware of the potential of 3D printing in medical applications?
A.A colleague’s experience with a 3Dprinted tooth.

(2026·安徽六安高三上阶段练习)
“It’s too sugary,I can’t manage very many,” said a friend at my table one summer evening a couple of years ago.She wasn’t talking about dessert but about some fresh cherries.I bit into another cherry and realised she was right.The fruit was so sweet that it was as if it had been presugared.
But the cherries of my childhood were much less sweet than today’s cherries.Some of them were hardly sweet at all,which made it all the more exciting when you happened upon a super sweet one.
Is today’s fruit getting sweeter?The answer is yes.Some of the most powerful evidence comes from zoos.In 2018,Melbourne Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because some fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay (腐烂) and weight gain.Bananas were removed from the monkeys’ menu and replaced with a lowersugar vegetablebased diet.
The increased sweetness of today’s fruit is not only due to breeding (培育);climate change also plays a part.It is found that since the 1970s,with rising temperatures,Fuji apples have become significantly sweeter and softer.
But the sweetness of today’s fruit is not without its problems,especially for people with diabetes,who have to be careful to moderate their intake of highersugar fruit.Fruit that is bred sweeter also tends to be lower in the phytochemicals (植物化学成分) that make it so healthy.
Health aside,maybe the real problem with today’s fruit is that it has become yet another sweet thing in a world filled with sugar.Even grapefruit,which used to be quite bitter,is sometimes now as sweet as oranges.If you’ve never tasted a sour cherry,how can you truly appreciate a sweet one?Experts put forward some thoughts about how to appreciate various tastes of today’s fruit.
1.Why does the author mention her friend’s words in Paragraph 1?
A.To show the impact of today’s fruit on health.
B.To share a pleasant childhood memory about fruit.
C.To introduce the extreme sweetness of today’s cherries.
D.To illustrate a common misunderstanding about desserts.
2.What can we learn about animals at Melbourne Zoo?
A.Bananas were removed from their menu.
B.The zoo changed their diet primarily to cut costs.
C.Some of them developed health issues from sweet fruit.
D.Their preference for vegetables has been long observed.
3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The challenges farmers face due to climate change.
B.The specific techniques used in breeding sweeter fruit.
C.A detailed comparison of different apple varieties.
D.The reasons behind the increasing sweetness of today’s fruit.
4.What might the author continue talking about?
A.The role of fruit in a balanced diet.
B.The way to grow lowsugar fruit at home.
C.The importance of eating fruit with various flavours.
D.The suggestions for selecting different flavours of today’s fruit.

Passage 1
(2026•济南模拟)
A team of scientists from the University of Plymouth in the UK placed radishes (a type of vegetable) into a water﹣based system containing nanoplastic particles (纳米塑料微粒).After five days,almost 5% of the nanoplastics had made their way into the radish roots.A quarter of those were in the safe﹣to﹣eat,fleshy roots,while a tenth had traveled up to the higher leafy shoots,despite built﹣in features within the plants that typically screen harmful material from the soil.
Plants have a layer within their roots called the Casparian strip (凯氏带),which should act as a form of filter (过滤) against particles,many of which can be harmful.This is the first time that a study has demonstrated nanoplastic particles could get beyond that protective barrier,with the potential for them to build up within plants and be passed on to anything that consumes them.
The findings suggest even fresh,healthy food products can contain millions of tiny plastic pieces per bite,many as small as a millionth of a centimeter.There are some limitations to the study,as it didn't use a real﹣world farming setup.The amount of plastics in the liquid is higher than that in soil,and only one type of plastic and one kind of vegetable were tested.
Nevertheless,the basic principle stands:The smallest plastic nanoparticles can apparently pass through protective barriers in plants,and from there into the food we eat.Given the rapid spread of plastic pollution,this could be happening globally on the largest possible scale.There is no reason to believe this is unique to this vegetable,with the clear possibility that nanoplastics are being absorbed into various types of produce being grown all over the world.
"This study provides clear evidence that particles in the environment can build up not only in seafood but also in vegetables," says marine biologist Richard Thompson. "Moreover,this work contributes to our understanding of build﹣up and the potentially harmful effects of microparticles and nanoparticles on human health."
1.What is the function of the Casparian strip?_____
A.It stores water for plants during dry periods.
B.It serves as a barrier against harmful particles.
C.It produces chemicals to fight against diseases.
D.It helps plants absorb nutrients more efficiently.
2.What limitation of the study is mentioned in the text?_____
A.The researchers used unrealistic plastic amount.
B.The scientists tested too many types of vegetables.
C.The plastic particles were too small to detect easily.
D.The experiment lasted for an insufficient time period.
3.What is Richard Thompson's attitude towards the research?_____
A.Dismissive.
B.Tolerant.
C.Critical.
D.Favorable.
4.Which would be the most suitable title for the text?_____
A.The Severity of Food Safety Issues
B.A Breakthrough in Agricultural Technology
C.How Plastic Particles Enter Our Food Chain
D.What the Most Plastic﹣Resistant Vegetable Is
Passage 2
(2026•西城区一模)
Pictures and videos of all sorts of animals regularly go viral these days because people connect with the apparent joy,friendship and playfulness of these animals.Unfortunately,the initial enthusiasm of these posts is often squashed by someone rightly noting that the animal's reaction is not joy or pleasure,but fear,anger or pain.
The reason we often get cases like this wrong is that we interpret the emotional content of many behaviors automatically and unconsciously.This is a version of anthropomorphism:interpreting animals as we would interpret another human.The standard view has been that anthropomorphism is primarily an error of overestimating the intelligence of animals.In recent decades,many authors have pushed back against this attitude towards anthropomorphism,arguing animals are a lot like us and that many "anthropomorphic"claims about animals are actually true.
Instead of getting caught in a black﹣and﹣white debate,however,I want a more complicated,informed discussion of competing ideas.Once we agree that animals do,in fact,have emotions,we can acknowledge that the anthropomorphic mistake is not seeing emotion where there is none—it is seeing the wrong emotion.
Each of us has a set of perceptual,emotional and cognitive capacities that allow us to engage and understand one another socially.These capacities help guide and structure all sorts of interactions,and we are generally not even aware we are using them.They are generally,but not perfectly,tuned for human interaction.Things can get messy,though,when we use them to interpret animals.Perhaps the best﹣studied version of this is the primate"grin"(灵长类动物的咧嘴笑).The animal is not happy,it turns out.The exact signaling function varies by species,but it usually signals something more like fear or anxiety,often by a submissive individual in a tense social situation.This is,in fact,anthropomorphism,because you are interpreting an animal's behavior in the same way we would interpret human behavior.This kind of anthropomorphism is a form of cognitive bias(偏见) resulting from shortcuts taken by our reasoning processes,usually without our awareness.
We should approach the topic of anthropomorphism from the angle of bias.Traditionally,assumptions about how and when people anthropomorphise have been so fixed that the psychology did not seem worth investigating.Slightly different attitudes can be found.For example,even though they advocate for anthropomorphic views of animals,the zoologists Jesus Rivas and Gordon Burghardt memorably note that it can be tricky:"Anthropomorphism comes in many forms and can catch you off guard!"While the recognition of"many forms"is progress,it makes the need for evidence﹣based research only more pressing.By focusing on implicit(隐性的)anthropomorphism,we shift attention from debating specific"humanlike"features to examining the deeper psychological mechanisms that make anthropomorphism so slippery.This,I believe,is the most challenging and most significant dimension of the problem.
1.What does the word "squashed" underlined in Paragraph 1 probably mean?_____
A.Awakened
B.Dampened
C.Misguided
D.Underestimated
2.What can we learn about anthropomorphism?_____
A.It turns animals' negative emotions into positive ones.
B.It underrates the emotional capacities of animal species.
C.It contributes to the shortcuts of our reasoning processes.
D.It reflects the projection of human qualities onto animals.
3.The author quotes Jesus and Gordon to _____ .
A.confirm the value of anthropomorphism
B.highlight the complexity of anthropomorphism
C.warm us of the limitations of anthropomorphism
D.remind us to view anthropomorphism positively
4.What does the author intend to do by writing this passage?_____
A.Propose a fresh perspective.
B.Analyze a worrying tendency.
C.Evaluate the credibility of a theory.
D.Explore the origin of a phenomenon.
Passage 3
(2026•广东一模)
What if the computers of tomorrow didn't depend on metal and plastic,but instead grew from the soil beneath our feet?This idea is turning into reality in a laboratory,where researchers at The Ohio State University have found that common fungi — such as shiitake and button mushrooms — can be used to create memory components for computing.
These mushroom﹣based devices act as organic memristors (忆阻器),short for memory resistors.Unlike traditional resistors,memristors have the unique ability to retain information about past electrical states.When current flows in one direction,their resistance increases;when it flows the opposite way,their resistance decreases.Even after the power is switched off,the resistance level remains,thus allowing memristors to function like tiny memory units inside a computer.
Mushrooms contain a dense,thread﹣like network known as mycelium (菌丝体),which can send tiny electrical signals — much like memristors do.To test this,scientists attached wires to dried mushrooms and sent small electrical pulses through them.The results were remarkable:the mushrooms switched between electrical states up to 5,850 times per second with about 90% accuracy.Although their performance dropped under higher electrical frequencies,stability returned when several mushrooms were linked together — suggesting a kind of collective intelligence,similar to how brain cells function together.
Beyond these exciting results,mushrooms come with major environmental advantages.Traditional memristors rely on scarce minerals and require high energy consumption.Mushrooms,however,are renewable,biodegradable,and easy to grow.Their mycelium can also be shaped into custom structures,making them suitable for wearable electronics,smart sensors,and other emerging technologies.
"Everything needed to explore organic computing could be as small as a pile of natural waste and some homemade electronics — or as large as a culturing factory," said John LaRocco,the study's lead author. "All of it is achievable with the resources we already have." In the not﹣too﹣distant future,the computers on our desks may very well have taken root — quite literally — in the forest.
1.What does the underlined word "retain" in paragraph 2 mean? _____
A.Track.

C.Gather.
D.Analyze.
2.What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning brain cells in paragraph 3? _____

C.It helps reduce agricultural waste.
D.It will create more jobs in factories.
Passage 4
(2026•朝阳区一模)
Whether artists or scientists,investigators strike out from what is known to brave the unknown in acts of creative discovery.Think of artists and scientists as users of three modes of discovery:knowing,seeing,and telling.We are all seeking knowledge—epistemologists who question what we think we know,how we come to know it,and whether we can prove what we think we know.Meanwhile,we are all seers—aestheticists who confront what we perceive in natural and created appearances.Finally,we are all tellers and listeners—narrativists who tell about what we have found and listen to the findings of others.
The epistemologist's attention to knowing resonated (引起共鸣) in physicist Andrea Califano's precision﹣medicine discoveries in cancer biology.His philosopher﹣physicist mind is the creative ground to discover new treatments for cancer."A lot of ideas end up being very,very simple﹣minded in hindsight.But it's very difficult to foresee whether simple﹣minded ideas will work in the end.There's nothing magical about what we do.It's just that nobody had kind of thought of cancer in this way,"said Califano.
The aestheticists want to face the material world with all the capacities of the human to see and imagine.Tissue engineer Gordana Vunjak﹣Novakovic exposed the creative powers of aesthetics in the practice of a scientist.It was the novel Alexandria Quartet that gave her the idea of her work as"sliding planes":"Each of the sliding planes is a body of knowledge.Then they travel past each other,and somehow connect with each other.There were three sliding planes that are three different characters' perspectives.And then the fourth plane was the time.That is how the book was constructed,I believe,and this is how we do science."
Knowing and seeing require connections between the internal world of the seer or knower,the external world of the seeable and knowable,and the world of witnesses who receive what becomes seen or known.These connections,what I call"telling",are achieved through narrative acts like speech.It creates a network,bridging from person to person.NabilaEl﹣Bassel,an international leader in studying the most hard﹣to﹣deal﹣with global health problems,confirmed the necessity of listening to all"telling"voices.El﹣Bassel and her teams are listeners of their subjects' lived experiences,making sure that suffering individuals are heard and valued.
Recognising the fundamental roles of epistemology,aesthetics,and narrative studies in medical research avoids costly oppositions between arts and sciences.With all three discovery modes engaged,scientists gradually recognise why suffering matters,how delicate the balance between sickness and health is,and how urgent medicine's mission is.Health care's response to disease could then embrace the pursuit to comprehend phenomena deep within the cell and to face up to social issues vast across the Earth.
1.What does the word"hindsight"underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? _____
A.Innovative mindset.
B.Blind﹣minded thinking.
C.Long﹣term perspective.
D.Reflective understanding.
2.What can we learn from this passage? _____
A.The author has a preference for narrative studies.
B.El﹣Bassel focuses on seeable external phenomena.
C.Gordana values tackling problems from diverse angles.
D.Califano's breakthrough sets ground for cancer biology.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? _____
A.Integration of art and science is hard to achieve.
B.Three discovery modes can balance sickness and health.
C.Meeting social needs is as vital as doing biological studies.
D.Medical research helps realise the role of three discovery modes.
4.Which would be the best title for the passage? _____
A.The Art of Science:Knowing,Seeing,and Telling
B.Three Modes of Discovery:Can Artists Be Scientists?
C.A Costly Conflict:The Battle Between Art and Science
D.The Medicine's Mission:Are Scientists Brave to Complete?

Leading museums worldwide are experimenting with augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies to create new experiences for audiences to engage with art and culture.
To reinvent an interactive experience,museums in China have started using digital humans—computergenerated 3D images resembling real people—to transform visitors’ encounters with history and culture.In cooperation with AI companies,Chinese museums have introduced digital humans as tour guides and ambassadors of tradition.
Ai Wenwen,a digital employee at the National Museum of China,can instantly change outfits,from modern clothing to Chinese traditional dress,and give guided tours of the museum.To give its digital employee the appeal of a human celebrity,the National Museum create a song that is presented as if sung by Ai Wenwen herself.
In addition to museums,digital humans can help bring historical figures to life.The Zhonghua Book Company has launched a virtual avatar (化身) of Su Shi,a celebrated Chinese poet and statesman.With the texts about Su Shi’s life and literary work being fed into the virtual avatar,it can respond to real people in a manner and language resembling this great man in Chinese history.It made its first appearance in a CCTV youth talent show about Chinese poetry,surprising audiences with its remarkable human likeness.
The virtual avatar had conversations with live audiences about poems Su Shi wrote about 1,000 years ago.The TV show even presented an episode of the digital version of Su Shi acting with a human who played his close friend,the great calligrapher Huang Tingjian.
The Su Shi avatar has also become a social media influencer,posting quizzes and educational content on literature,geography,and customs.Additionally,the company organizes inperson events where students interact with digital humans to learn history and literature.
Museums and cultural institutions across China have incorporated the virtual avatar of Su Shi to create interactive exhibitions with themes including afternoon tea,poetry and calligraphy.Audiences at these exhibitions have opportunities to experience the daily life of a renowned poet from the distant past.

Passage 2
(江苏苏北四市 2025 届高三第二次调|线上线下混合学习,学生感悟)
Last year, our school tried a blended learning model. We had face-to-face classes at school on weekdays, while some learning materials and homework were put on our online learning platform. At first, I hated this change. I thought watching video lectures online was boring, and I easily got distracted by messages on my phone.
My math teacher noticed my problem. Instead of asking me to give up my phone, she taught me simple self-management skills. She suggested I set a fixed study period for online tasks and put my phone in another room. She also encouraged me to post my questions on the online discussion board. Slowly, I found that I could review difficult lessons again by replaying recorded videos. When I could not follow the teacher in class, the online resources became a helpful tool.
Months later, I changed my attitude. Blended learning does not replace classroom teaching. It gives us more control over our own study speed. Now I can go over weak points whenever I want. This experience taught me that good learners are able to make good use of different learning resources.
1.What was the author’s first feeling about blended learning?
A. Excited.
B. Unhappy.
C. Confident.
D. Uninterested.
2.What did the math teacher advise the author to do?

Passage 3
(广东六校联盟|学生同伴辅导 Peer Tutoring)
Many high schools carry out peer tutoring programs. In these programs, students with strong grades help their classmates with their study after school. Peer tutors are trained by teachers before starting work. They do not give direct answers to homework; instead, they explain difficult concepts and guide tutees to find solutions on their own.
Researchers have found many benefits of peer tutoring. For tutees, they feel less nervous asking questions from classmates than from teachers. They can learn knowledge in simple student-to-student language. For tutors themselves, teaching others helps them review and strengthen what they have learned. Explaining ideas clearly improves their logical thinking and communication skills.
However, the program also has limits. Some tutors lack patience and may give answers directly. A few students depend too much on tutors and stop thinking independently. To solve these problems, schools need clear rules and regular supervision from teachers. Tutors should receive ongoing training to stick to the guiding role.
Peer tutoring cannot replace classroom teaching, but it serves as a helpful support system inside schools.
1.What do peer tutors mainly do in the program?
A. Finish homework for their classmates.
B. Guide peers to work out problems by themselves.
C. Give marks to their classmates’ homework.
D. Replace teachers to give daily lessons.
2.Why is peer tutoring less stressful for tutees?
A. Tutors know all exam answers in advance.
B. They can ask questions more freely from peers.
C. Tutors will never correct their mistakes.
D. They do not need to prepare for tests.
3.What is one problem of peer tutoring?
A. Tutors may directly provide answers.
B. It increases teachers’ daily teaching tasks greatly.
C. It makes classroom teaching useless.
D. Tutors cannot improve their own knowledge.
4.What is the author’s opinion of peer tutoring?
A. It can take the place of classroom teaching.
B. It is a helpful supplementary school program.
C. It has too many disadvantages to carry on.
D. It only helps students with poor communication skills.

Passage 4
(山东潍坊 2026 届高三一模|学生课堂提问能力培养)
Most high school classes focus on teachers asking questions and students giving answers. Few students are trained to raise their own questions in class. Many educators believe that the ability to ask good questions matters as much as the ability to answer them.
When students create their own questions, they need to read carefully, find confusing points and think deeply. This active thinking helps them understand lessons better. Students who keep asking questions are more likely to develop critical thinking. However, many students hesitate to raise questions. They worry their questions sound silly or classmates will laugh at them.
Some schools have taken steps to change this situation. Teachers create a safe classroom culture where no question is considered stupid. In some classes, students write down their questions first and discuss them in small groups before sharing with the whole class. This lowers students’ pressure.
Raising questions is not just a learning skill. It is a way of thinking. Schools should encourage students to dare to question instead of only accepting knowledge passively.
1.What is the common situation in many high school classes?
A. Students are encouraged to raise plenty of questions.
B. Teachers mainly ask questions and students answer.
C. Students design all classroom discussion tasks.
D. Teachers seldom give any questions in class.
2.Why are many students afraid of asking questions in class?
A. They think asking questions wastes class time.
B. They believe teachers dislike questioning.
C. They fear their questions may sound foolish.
D. They have no confusing points during learning.
3.What measure do some schools take?
A. Forbid students from asking simple questions.
B. Build a classroom atmosphere to accept all questions.
C. Let students replace teachers to give lessons.
D. Ask students to answer all questions by writing.
4.What is the text mainly about?
A. The value of students raising questions in class.
B. Methods of answering difficult exam questions.
C. Reasons why students are poor in studies.
D. How teachers improve their questioning skills.
【答案*解析】课堂提问能力的重要性;学生不敢提问的原因;学校采取措施营造安全课堂氛围,鼓励学生主动质疑。

Passage 2
(湖北圆创联盟|从挫败中学会自我调整)
Last term, I set a high goal for my physics study. I spent plenty of time doing extra exercises every day, expecting a satisfying progress. However, my mid‑term physics exam result was far below my expectation. I felt upset and doubted whether I had the talent for science. For several days, I lost enthusiasm for physics and even wanted to give it up.
My physics teacher noticed my discouragement. Instead of blaming my low score, she had a patient talk with me. She pointed out that I devoted much time to exercises but seldom reflected on my mistakes. I kept making similar errors because I ignored error analysis. She advised me to build a mistake notebook and review my weak points regularly rather than burying myself in endless new exercises.
I followed her advice. I slowed down my exercise speed and spent time sorting out my mistakes. I marked the cause of each error: carelessness, misunderstood concepts or wrong thinking methods. Gradually, I stopped fearing failure. Every mistake became a chance for growth. In the final exam, I made steady progress.
This experience taught me that effort alone is not enough. Wise reflection turns failures into stepping stones for improvement. Real growth lies in learning from mistakes and adjusting your ways of learning.
1. Why did the author feel upset after the mid‑term exam?
A. He spent little time on physics exercises.
B. His physics score failed to meet his hope.
C. His teacher criticized him for poor performance.
D. He had no time to finish physics homework.
2. What was the author’s main problem in physics study?
A. He lacked enough exercise materials.
B. He refused to listen to teachers’ advice.
C. He rarely thought over his own mistakes.
D. He was too lazy to take physics notes.
3. What suggestion did the teacher give to the author?
A. Stop doing physics exercises completely.
B. Build a mistake notebook and review weaknesses.
C. Change to learn other science subjects.
D. Spend more time memorizing physics formulas.
4. What lesson does the author get from his experience?
A. High exam scores come from long hours of hard work only.
B. Mistakes should be avoided as much as possible in study.
C. Reflection helps turn failures into progress.
D. Students should never set high learning goals.

Passage 3
(福建金太阳 2026 届高三 4 月联考|元认知 metacognition 助力学习成长)
Metacognition, often called “thinking about thinking”, is one important ability for students’ learning and growth. It means students can watch over their own learning process: knowing what they have mastered, realizing where they get stuck, and adjusting learning methods when necessary.
Many students devote hours to study but achieve little progress. One main reason is the lack of metacognitive awareness. They finish tasks passively, without checking whether they truly understand knowledge. For example, after reading a text, they cannot tell which parts remain confusing. They keep repeating the same learning routines without self‑checking.
Researchers suggest several simple ways to develop metacognition. Before study, set clear learning aims: what do I plan to master today? During study, pause now and then to test yourself. After finishing learning work, carry out self‑evaluation: Have I reached my goals? Where are my weak points?
Metacognition does not mean students must get perfect grades. It helps learners take control of their own study. Instead of waiting for teachers to point out problems, students can find their own shortcomings and make improvements. It supports long‑term learning growth far beyond school examinations.
1. What does metacognition refer to according to the text?
A. Memorizing large amounts of knowledge quickly.
B. The ability to think about one’s own thinking process.
C. Solving difficult problems with creative methods.
D. Completing learning tasks within limited time.
2. Why do some students gain little progress with long study hours?
A. They have no access to good learning materials.
B. They seldom check their own learning conditions.
C. Their teachers give too few learning tasks.
D. They spend too much time on self‑evaluation.
3. Which action helps develop metacognition?
A. Setting clear learning targets in advance.
B. Finishing homework as fast as possible.
C. Waiting for teachers to find your weaknesses.
D. Avoiding difficult knowledge points.
4. What is the benefit of metacognition?
A. It guarantees students top exam scores.
B. It reduces students’ total study time greatly.
C. It enables students to manage their own learning.
D. It helps students finish all school tasks effortlessly.

Passage 4
(辽宁沈阳 2026 届一模|走出学习舒适区实现自我成长)
Many students tend to stay inside their learning comfort zone. They prefer to practice what they are already good at and avoid challenging content. Working within the comfort zone brings short‑term satisfaction, because students can get correct answers easily and feel a sense of achievement. However, staying long in comfort zones will slow personal growth.
Real improvement happens in the learning zone, where you meet unfamiliar, challenging tasks. When dealing with something slightly beyond your present level, you may feel confused or stressed. But through thinking, trying and correcting mistakes, you can gain new abilities. That is where growth takes place.
Of course, moving out of comfort zone does not mean jumping into tasks far beyond your ability, which will only cause anxiety and loss of confidence. The proper way is to accept proper challenges step by step. You can take small risks: try more difficult exercises, speak in public or learn new thinking skills. Small challenges build up your competence gradually.
Growth never comes easily. It requires courage to face discomfort. Students should dare to step out of their comfort zone, accept reasonable challenges, and keep moving forward in the learning zone.
1. What do students in the comfort zone like to do?
A. Deal with completely new challenging tasks.
B. Practice the knowledge they are good at.
C. Keep trying tasks far above their level.
D. Seek constant advice from teachers.
2. What is the short‑term advantage of staying in comfort zone?
A. It speeds up long‑term personal growth.
B. It helps students get high‑level competence quickly.
C. Students can easily get a feeling of satisfaction.
D. Students can learn lots of brand‑new skills.
3. What will happen if students face tasks much beyond their ability?
A. They will make rapid progress.
B. They will feel anxious and lose confidence.
C. They will enter the learning zone naturally.
D. They will form good learning habits.
4. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Students should get away from comfort zone properly for growth.
B. Why most teenagers prefer to live in comfort zones.
C. Different kinds of zones in teenagers’ daily life.
D. How to reduce anxiety during examinations.

话题3 文化节日活动(共4篇)
Passage 1
(2025秋•安宁区校级期末)
The old Chinese saying '" as happy as spending the New Year " might be outdated now in the busy modern world.The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together,like Christmas in the West.But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival,however,have weakened in practice.
Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival.People thought the sputtering(爆裂) sound could help drive away ﹣ evil spirits .However,the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken safety,noise and pollution factors into account.
"In recent years ,some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival ,surrendering to pubic demand .Respecting folk tradition is a gesture of respect toward public opinion." said Zhou Xing,folklore(民俗)researcher,

Passage 2
(2026•贵州校级模拟)
Zhai Yuliang becomes extra busy whenever the holidays are around the corner.The Beijinger,in his 60s,has just finished a pair of palace lanterns for a courtyard home in the capital.
"The owner wants every part of them to be done in the old﹣fashioned way,so that they will fit perfectly with the grand style of their historical house."says Zhai,who has practiced the craft for more than four decades.One of the most popular styles,which is also Zhai's favorite,is the double﹣layered octagonal(八角形的) palace lantern.It's full of Chinese elements,and features dragon heads and many other specific patterns.
However,he stresses the essential elements to be classified as palace lanterns — hand﹣painted scenes and Chinese knots as decoration.Most importantly,they must be created using the specific techniques,which require over 100 steps.

Zhai has received many invitations from communities and institutes to show the charm of palace lanterns.He particularly enjoys hosting workshops where he teaches people to make lanterns themselves.He is enchanted to see the smiles of children and the expressions of adults when they complete their works under his guidance.
He believes his lifelong devotion to this craft has been worthwhile.His lanterns can be seen in such locations as the Tian'anmen Square and many overseas sites that promote friendship with China."Wherever you are,when you see a palace lantern,you know there's a connect ion to China,"Zhai says.

Passage 3
(2026•闽侯县模拟)
In America,we have a thing called stand﹣up comedy.This popular form of entertainment consists of a comedian standing up at the front of a club,holding a microphone,and telling jokes.Of course,comedy is popular in Chinese culture as well,but the performances are quite different from the style in the US.In China,it's called cross﹣talk,which usually involves two guys engaging in an entertaining dialogue.
It's believed that cross﹣talk came into being in the Qing Dynasty as a bit of a by﹣product of the imitation shows that were a popular form of entertainment in the Song Dynasty.After the PRC was established in 1949,this comedic art became more and more popular.Today,it's still heavily featured in the CCTV New Year's Gala programmes in China.The 1990s was the golden age of cross﹣talk;even foreigners studied the art of cross﹣talk.Mark Roswell,a Canadian named Da Shan in Chinese was relatively unknown in his native land but was a superstar in China.At the turn of the century,cross﹣talk began to decline,and many well﹣known actors left the stage.
There are four skills that are essential in cross﹣talk:speaking,imitating,teasing,and singing.Most of the time,it is performed with two actors—one serves as the lead actor while the other plays a support role.However,sometimes it is performed simply as a one﹣man show,and at other times there are several actors.In order to criticize something,the humor involved in cross﹣talk is satirical.
1.What's the difference between American stand﹣up comedy and Chinese cross﹣talk?
A.Chinese cross﹣talk actors don't use a microphone.
B.American stand﹣up comedy actors are all men.
C.Chinese cross﹣talk is more liked by Canadians.
D.American stand﹣up comedy is only a one﹣man show.

4.What's the meaning of the underlined word "satirical" in Paragraph 3?
A.Acid﹣tongued.
B.Good﹣tempered.
C.Warm﹣hearted.
D.Smooth﹣tongued.
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了中国传统曲艺相声的起源、发展和文化影响力。
1.【答案】D

(人们认为相声是在清朝产生的,是模仿表演的副产品,模仿表演是宋代流行的娱乐形式。1949年中华人民共和国成立后,这种喜剧艺术越来越流行。时至今日,它仍然是中国中央电视台春节联欢晚会的重要节目。20世纪90年代是相声的黄金时代;甚至外国人也学习相声艺术。马克•罗斯威尔是一位加拿大人,中文名字叫大山,在他的祖国相对默默无闻,但在中国却是一位超级明星。世纪之交,相声开始衰落,许多知名演员离开了舞台。)可知,第二段主要讲述了中国相声的起源、发展、繁荣和衰退的历史,故history能够概括本段内容。故选A。

Passage 3
(2026春•湖北期末)
Digital technology,ranging from smartphones and laptops to learning apps and AI tools,can effectively assist students' studies and daily lives.However,uncontrolled use produces numerous negative impacts.It distracts students' attention,shortens sleep time,reduces physical activity and weakens independent learning skills.Importantly,these problems stem from improper usage rather than the technology itself.
Unregulated technology use greatly lowers students' learning efficiency and quality.Classroom distraction stands out as the most common issue.According to OECD's PISA research,30 percent of students get distracted by digital devices during most math lessons,which leads to poorer academic performance.To make matters worse,many students depend heavily on online search results and AI answers.They abandon key steps for deep learning,including careful reading,independent thinking,problem analysis and mistake correction.As a result,although their homework appears finished,they fail to build solid,in﹣depth knowledge.
According to a 2025 CDC (疾控中心) report,excessive screen time does great harm to teenagers' physical and mental health.Late﹣night gaming and social media use can seriously affect teenagers' sleep.Meanwhile,prolonged screen use takes up time for outdoor sports,walking and daily exercise,leaving students in poor physical condition.In addition,social media exposes teenagers to peer comparison and the fear of missing out,causing invisible mental pressure.A 2025 CDC analysis also proves that too much non﹣school screen time is closely associated with teenagers' poor sleep,lack of exercise and negative mental states.
Thankfully,students can avoid these risks by developing scientific daily routines.Before studying,they need to keep phones away from desks,turn off distracting notifications and use only essential digital tools.Before bedtime,they should quit all online entertainment by a fixed time and charge their phones outside the bedroom.It is also advisable to finish exercise and housework before enjoying screen time.Instead of rejecting technology completely,proper management enables technology to better support students' learning and healthy growth.
1.What does the word "unregulated" underlined in Paragraph 2 mean?_____
A.Unprotected.
B.Unfinished.
C.Uncontrolled.
D.Unchanged.
2.What can we infer from the 2025 CDC analysis?_____
A.Social media use reduces teenagers' mental stress.
B.Outdoor exercise removes screen﹣caused harms.
C.Staying up late mainly leads to poor health.
D.Off﹣school screen time brings about health problems.
3.What is the author's attitude towards digital technology?_____
A.Objective.
B.Supporting.
C.Critical.
D.Doubtful.
4.What is the main idea of the text?_____
A.Long screen time harms teens' bodies and minds.
B.Proper digital use brings teens great benefits.
C.Digital tools are widely used in teens' study.
D.Digital technology brings harm yet solutions exist.
【分析】这是一篇说明文,本文主要讲的是数字技术有益于学生,但不加管控地使用会严重影响学业与身心健康,我们可以通过科学规划日常作息、规范使用电子设备,让科技发挥正面作用。

Passage 4
(2019•南通一模)
Tens of thousands of young in Britain who are struggling with their mental health are seeking help online for problems such as anxiety,self﹣harm,and depression.
Soaring numbers of under﹣18s are turning to apps,online counselling and "mood diaries" to help them manage and recover from conditions that have left them feeling low,isolated and,in some cases,suicidal.
A generation of young people are attracted by being able to receive fast,personal care and advice using their phone rather than having to wait up to 18 months to be treated by an NHS mental health professional.
The shift comes as ministers prepare themselves for publication on Thursday of the first new figures for 13 years showing how common mental health problems are in the young mainly as a result of the emergence of social media and its use in fuelling feelings of inadequacy.
The number of under﹣18s using Kooth,a free online counselling(咨询的)service,has shot up from 20,000 in 2015 to 65,000 last year,and is forecast to rise further to 100,000 this year.
One hundred NHS clinical commissioning groups across England,more than half the total,have now commissioned the service.It helps young people suffering from anxiety,low mood,poor self﹣worth or confidence,self﹣harm and loneliness.
"Young people like the fact they can talk to a counsellor either instantly,or within 10 minutes,for up to an hour in the evenings.They love that immediacy",said Aaron Sefi,the research and evaluation director at XenZone,the company behind Kooth.
"They also love the anonymity involved,because they can sign up without giving their personal details.Plus,they're in control,because they are choosing to contact us rather than being told to do so."
In addition,123,138 people in the UK download.Calm Harm,an NHS﹣approved app that helps people self﹣harm less often or not at all,between April 2017 and this month.
"Users tell us that Calm Harm helps with suicidal thoughts and intent," said Dr.Nihara Krause,the consultant clinical psychologist who developed the app. "Currently 92% of our users,who are mainly female and often aged 15﹣21,say the urge reduced."
Calm Harm is among 18 apps that NHS England has endorsed(支持)to help cope with mental ill﹣health.They also include Bluelce,which helps young people manage their emotions using a mood diary and automatic routing(自动转接) to emergency help numbers if their urges to self﹣harm continue.
Experts welcomed the trend but warned that online help must complement,not replace,face﹣to﹣face appointments with therapists,psychologists and psychiatrists.
"Most young people spend much of their time online,and it can feel easier for them to communicate through messaging and online services than face﹣to﹣face," said Tom Madders,campaigns director at Young Minds,which helps people under 26.
"Evidence﹣based mental health apps and online support services can be really beneficial in helping young people to look after their own mental health,develop strategies for coping with difficult emotions,and get accessible information and advice when they need it."
Claire Murdoch,NHS England's national mental health director,said: "Technology is constantly evolving and young people are usually at the forefront,so it's no surprise increasing numbers are turning to services like these which can certainly play a part,particularly when backed up by face﹣to﹣face support."
The NHS's forthcoming long﹣term plan,due next month,will "harness(利用)all of the benefits these advancements can bring",she added.
Meanwhile,37% of the young people referred to NHS child and adolescent mental health services (Camhs) in England last year were refused help,the children's commissioner has revealed.
In an analysis of Camhs care published on Thursday,the children's commissioner for England,Anne Longfield,says that despite promises by politicians and NHS bosses to improve access, "a vast gap remains between what is provided and what children need".
While she found improvements in several areas of care,including care for eating disorders,new mothers and under﹣ 18s in the criminal justice system,overall "the current rate of progress is still not good enough for the majority of children who require help but are not receiving it".
1.Calm Harm helps teenagers to _____ .
A.keep a journal of their moods
B.manage their feeling of stress
C.reduce the urge to harm themselves
D.improve their self﹣identity and confidence
2.Experts believe that online help can _____ .
A.strengthen bonds between teenagers with mental illnesses
B.play a role in pushing forward the cutting﹣edge advance
C.replace face﹣to﹣face appointments with professionals
D.serve as a complement to face﹣to﹣face appointments
3.According to Anne Longfield,NHS child and adolescent mental health services _____ .
A.have lived up to their expectations and promises
B.are reluctant to help teenagers with mental illnesses
C.will complete their ambitious forthcoming long﹣term plan
D.need to struggle to meet the increasing needs of teenagers

Passage 1
(2026·四川成都高三上开学考试)
Yongronghui,a highend seafood buffet in Chengdu,has launched a twotier pricing system after upgrading its live king crab service.This change aims to meet different diners’ budgets while keeping its premium quality—a key reason it has been popular with seafood lovers since 2015.
With nine years in the premium seafood buffet sector,Yongronghui is known for “freshly prepared onsite” seafood.Unlike many buffets using prefrozen ingredients,its open kitchen lets customers watch chefs cook.The recent upgrade makes live king crab available:once only preprocessed,it now stays in temperaturecontrolled pools near dining areas,allowing customers to pick their own.This upgrade,plus higher costs of sourcing top live king crab from the North Pacific,led to the new pricing.
The Standard Tier (about 398 yuan per person) offers over 150 seafood kinds,including unlimited live Boston lobsters,yearround small lobsters,and Canadian red shrimp.It also includes 2 servings of preprocessed king crab legs per customer.The Premium Tier (around 598 yuan per person) gives unlimited live king crab,Spanish bluefin tuna,and fresh sea urchins.Both tiers keep signature services:1on1 butler help and a “nowait guarantee”—if waiting over 5 minutes for popular items during peak hours (6:008:30 PM on weekends),staff deliver food and offer free imported white wine.
The restaurant’s ambiance is pleasant too.Its main hall holds 200 guests,with private rooms for bookings of 6+ people.Lunch (11:30 AM2:00 PM) is quiet for business meals,while dinner has live jazz on Fridays and Saturdays.
Customer feedback is positive.Li Jiawei,a regular,said,“The Standard Tier lets my family try king crab without overspending;we chose Premium for our anniversary.” Tourist Wang Mei praised picking live king crab:“It makes me trust the quality.”
Yongronghui’s twotier system shows its ability to adapt to customers while sticking to fresh,highquality seafood.
1.What is the main reason for Yongronghui’s new pricing system?
A.The opening of a new branch in another city.
B.The upgrade of live king crab service.
C.The introduction of Disneythemed interactions.
D.The change of its management team.
2.What can customers get in the Standard Tier?
A.Unlimited live king crab.
B.Preprocessed king crab legs (2 servings).
C.Exclusive Spanish bluefin tuna.
D.Free imported red wine daily.
3.Which service is available for both pricing tiers?
A.Private rooms for 2 people.
B.Live jazz music every night.
C.1on1 butler service.
D.Unlimited sea urchins.

Passage 2
(2026·河南三门峡高三上期中)
Approximately a decade ago,a colleague,Geoffrey,and I coincidentally scheduled morning appointments with our respective dentists.When he energetically ran into my office around lunchtime,he revealed and flashed his pearly white teeth and a bright smile,announcing:his dentist produced a 3Dprinted false tooth instantly on the spot in the clinic.
That experience signaled to me that the true potential of this technology lay in producing designed components for individual human bodies.And not being the type to spend thousands of dollars on a large device without apparent practical and household utility,I dismissed 3D printing from my thoughts.However,that changed until Jill Patton,a senior editor,started raising the subject repeatedly,who pointed out the fascinating 3D printing research underway at Stanford.And her persistence fueled my interest and encouraged me to explore further.
There are some articles that lend themselves to storytelling—for instance,Profiles like our feature on an art historian or our article on cultural critic,and some reflective essays,such as the reflection on brotherhood or on the drive down Memory Lane also fit the category,while other topics are more challenging to shape into engaging stories.Initially,3D printing sounded like just another technical subject.Yet,under the guidance of Jill and senior writer Sam Scott,it evolved into a compelling narrative story.Yet through broad and indepth conversation,Jill and Sam came to focus on four promising applications:microneedles that deliver vaccines or collect extract testing sample fluid for lab tests through the skin,miniature robots that concentrate blood clots (凝块,凝结) for safer removal,structures that aid the reconstruction of severe and complex bone breaks,and an extremely challenging task to 3D print a functional human heart within an hour,before the tissue starts to worsen.
Once our story took shape,the next challenge was how to present and convey it effectively.Illustrating this story is a creative process,which began with dynamic discussions involving the creative director Erin Sonnenschein,the art director Giorgia Virgili,Jill,Sam,and me.Creative director Erin was fascinated by the onehour heart printing concept,art director Giorgia drew inspiration from the Tin Woodman (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz《绿野仙踪》,by L.Frank Baum),and freelance illustrator Nathan Smith brought the cover to life and added whimsical (奇思妙想的) elements.My personal favorite is a sign “Currently printing:horse jaw,” while Jill appreciated the Tin Woodman perusing essential oils (精油).
All these developments make that early 3Dprinted crown seem almost elementary by comparison.
1.What made the author aware of the potential of 3D printing in medical applications?
A.A colleague’s experience with a 3Dprinted tooth.
B.Research conducted at Stanford University.
C.Articles written by cultural critics.
D.The popularity of 3D printing in schools.
2.Why did the author initially lose interest in 3D printing?
A.It was only used for making plastic objects in schools.
B.It seemed too expensive and impractical for personal use.
C.He thought it was merely a tool for storytelling.
D.He was discouraged by his colleague’s negative opinion.
3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a promising medical application of 3D printing in the text?
A.Delivering vaccines through microneedles.
B.Printing a functional heart within an hour.
C.Creating artificial bones for complex fractures.
D.Producing custommade dental structures quickly.
4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.The History of 3D Printing:From Toys to Medicine.
B.Printing a Smile:How a Tooth Changed Dental Care.
C.The Evolution of 3D Printing:From a Printed Tooth to Medical Miracles.

Passage 4
(2026·安徽六安高三上阶段练习)
“It’s too sugary,I can’t manage very many,” said a friend at my table one summer evening a couple of years ago.She wasn’t talking about dessert but about some fresh cherries.I bit into another cherry and realised she was right.The fruit was so sweet that it was as if it had been presugared.
But the cherries of my childhood were much less sweet than today’s cherries.Some of them were hardly sweet at all,which made it all the more exciting when you happened upon a super sweet one.
Is today’s fruit getting sweeter?The answer is yes.Some of the most powerful evidence comes from zoos.In 2018,Melbourne Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because some fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay (腐烂) and weight gain.Bananas were removed from the monkeys’ menu and replaced with a lowersugar vegetablebased diet.
The increased sweetness of today’s fruit is not only due to breeding (培育);climate change also plays a part.It is found that since the 1970s,with rising temperatures,Fuji apples have become significantly sweeter and softer.
But the sweetness of today’s fruit is not without its problems,especially for people with diabetes,who have to be careful to moderate their intake of highersugar fruit.Fruit that is bred sweeter also tends to be lower in the phytochemicals (植物化学成分) that make it so healthy.
Health aside,maybe the real problem with today’s fruit is that it has become yet another sweet thing in a world filled with sugar.Even grapefruit,which used to be quite bitter,is sometimes now as sweet as oranges.If you’ve never tasted a sour cherry,how can you truly appreciate a sweet one?Experts put forward some thoughts about how to appreciate various tastes of today’s fruit.
1.Why does the author mention her friend’s words in Paragraph 1?
A.To show the impact of today’s fruit on health.
B.To share a pleasant childhood memory about fruit.
C.To introduce the extreme sweetness of today’s cherries.
D.To illustrate a common misunderstanding about desserts.
2.What can we learn about animals at Melbourne Zoo?
A.Bananas were removed from their menu.
B.The zoo changed their diet primarily to cut costs.
C.Some of them developed health issues from sweet fruit.
D.Their preference for vegetables has been long observed.
3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A.The challenges farmers face due to climate change.
B.The specific techniques used in breeding sweeter fruit.
C.A detailed comparison of different apple varieties.
D.The reasons behind the increasing sweetness of today’s fruit.
4.What might the author continue talking about?
A.The role of fruit in a balanced diet.
B.The way to grow lowsugar fruit at home.
C.The importance of eating fruit with various flavours.
D.The suggestions for selecting different flavours of today’s fruit.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了当今水果变得越来越甜的现象、原因及影响。
4.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中“‘It’s too sugary,I can’t manage very many,’ said a friend at my table one summer evening a couple of years ago.She wasn’t talking about dessert but about some fresh cherries.I bit into another cherry and realised she was right.The fruit was so sweet that it was as if it had been presugared.(几年前的一个夏夜,我桌上的一个朋友说:‘太甜了,我吃不了多少。’她说的不是甜点,而是一些新鲜的樱桃。我又咬了一口樱桃,意识到她是对的。这种水果太甜了,就像预先加了糖一样。)”可推知,作者提到朋友的话是为了引出如今樱桃非常甜这一现象,即介绍如今樱桃的极度甜味。故选C。
5.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In 2018,Melbourne Zoo in Australia had stopped giving fruit to most of its animals because some fruit was now so sweet that it was causing tooth decay (腐烂) and weight gain.(2018年,澳大利亚墨尔本动物园停止给大多数动物喂食水果,因为一些水果现在太甜了,导致动物牙齿蛀牙和体重增加。)”可知,墨尔本动物园的一些动物因为吃了太甜的水果而出现了健康问题。故选C。
6.D 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The increased sweetness of today’s fruit is not only due to breeding (培育);climate change also plays a part.It is found that since the 1970s,with rising temperatures,Fuji apples have become significantly sweeter and softer.(如今水果甜度的增加不仅仅是由于培育;气候变化也起到了一定作用。研究发现,自20世纪70年代以来,随着气温的上升,富士苹果变得越来越甜,越来越软。)”可知,本段主要讲述了如今水果越来越甜的原因,包括培育和气候变化两方面。故选D。
7.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Experts put forward some thoughts about how to appreciate various tastes of today’s fruit.(专家们提出了一些关于如何欣赏当今水果各种味道的想法。)”可推知,作者接下来可能会继续谈论选择不同口味水果的建议。故选D。

Passage 1
(2026•济南模拟)
A team of scientists from the University of Plymouth in the UK placed radishes (a type of vegetable) into a water﹣based system containing nanoplastic particles (纳米塑料微粒).After five days,almost 5% of the nanoplastics had made their way into the radish roots.A quarter of those were in the safe﹣to﹣eat,fleshy roots,while a tenth had traveled up to the higher leafy shoots,despite built﹣in features within the plants that typically screen harmful material from the soil.
Plants have a layer within their roots called the Casparian strip (凯氏带),which should act as a form of filter (过滤) against particles,many of which can be harmful.This is the first time that a study has demonstrated nanoplastic particles could get beyond that protective barrier,with the potential for them to build up within plants and be passed on to anything that consumes them.
The findings suggest even fresh,healthy food products can contain millions of tiny plastic pieces per bite,many as small as a millionth of a centimeter.There are some limitations to the study,as it didn't use a real﹣world farming setup.The amount of plastics in the liquid is higher than that in soil,and only one type of plastic and one kind of vegetable were tested.
Nevertheless,the basic principle stands:The smallest plastic nanoparticles can apparently pass through protective barriers in plants,and from there into the food we eat.Given the rapid spread of plastic pollution,this could be happening globally on the largest possible scale.There is no reason to believe this is unique to this vegetable,with the clear possibility that nanoplastics are being absorbed into various types of produce being grown all over the world.
"This study provides clear evidence that particles in the environment can build up not only in seafood but also in vegetables," says marine biologist Richard Thompson. "Moreover,this work contributes to our understanding of build﹣up and the potentially harmful effects of microparticles and nanoparticles on human health."
1.What is the function of the Casparian strip?_____
A.It stores water for plants during dry periods.
B.It serves as a barrier against harmful particles.
C.It produces chemicals to fight against diseases.
D.It helps plants absorb nutrients more efficiently.
2.What limitation of the study is mentioned in the text?_____
A.The researchers used unrealistic plastic amount.

推理判断题。根据第五段"This study provides clear evidence that particles in the environment can build up not only in seafood but also in vegetables," says marine biologist Richard Thompson. "Moreover,this work contributes to our understanding of build﹣up and the potentially harmful effects of microparticles and nanoparticles on human health."(海洋生物学家理查德•汤普森说:"这项研究提供了明确的证据,证明环境中的微粒不仅会在海产品中累积,也会在蔬菜中累积。此外,这项研究有助于我们了解微塑料和纳米塑料的累积情况,以及它们对人类健康可能产生的有害影响。")可知,理查德•汤普森对这项研究持认可,支持的态度。故选D。
【答案】 C
标题判断题。根据第一段A team of scientists from the University of Plymouth in the UK placed radishes (a type of vegetable) into a water﹣based system containing nanoplastic particles (纳米塑料微粒).After five days,almost 5% of the nanoplastics had made their way into the radish roots.A quarter of those were in the safe﹣to﹣eat,fleshy roots,while a tenth had traveled up to the higher leafy shoots,despite built﹣in features within the plants that typically screen harmful material from the soil.(英国普利茅斯大学的一组科学家将萝卜(一种蔬菜)放入含有纳米塑料微粒的水环境中。五天后,近5%的纳米塑料进入了萝卜根部。其中四分之一存在于可食用的肉质根中,还有十分之一向上扩散到了上方的茎叶部位——尽管植物自身本就具备过滤土壤中有害物质的内部结构。)以及全文可知,文章围绕纳米塑料微粒如何进入植物、进而进入人类食物展开介绍。C选项How Plastic Particles Enter Our Food Chain"塑料微粒如何进入我们的食物链"最适合作本文的标题。故选C。
Passage 2
(2026•西城区一模)
Pictures and videos of all sorts of animals regularly go viral these days because people connect with the apparent joy,friendship and playfulness of these animals.Unfortunately,the initial enthusiasm of these posts is often squashed by someone rightly noting that the animal's reaction is not joy or pleasure,but fear,anger or pain.
The reason we often get cases like this wrong is that we interpret the emotional content of many behaviors automatically and unconsciously.This is a version of anthropomorphism:interpreting animals as we would interpret another human.The standard view has been that anthropomorphism is primarily an error of overestimating the intelligence of animals.In recent decades,many authors have pushed back against this attitude towards anthropomorphism,arguing animals are a lot like us and that many "anthropomorphic"claims about animals are actually true.
Instead of getting caught in a black﹣and﹣white debate,however,I want a more complicated,informed discussion of competing ideas.Once we agree that animals do,in fact,have emotions,we can acknowledge that the anthropomorphic mistake is not seeing emotion where there is none—it is seeing the wrong emotion.
Each of us has a set of perceptual,emotional and cognitive capacities that allow us to engage and understand one another socially.These capacities help guide and structure all sorts of interactions,and we are generally not even aware we are using them.They are generally,but not perfectly,tuned for human interaction.Things can get messy,though,when we use them to interpret animals.Perhaps the best﹣studied version of this is the primate"grin"(灵长类动物的咧嘴笑).The animal is not happy,it turns out.The exact signaling function varies by species,but it usually signals something more like fear or anxiety,often by a submissive individual in a tense social situation.This is,in fact,anthropomorphism,because you are interpreting an animal's behavior in the same way we would interpret human behavior.This kind of anthropomorphism is a form of cognitive bias(偏见) resulting from shortcuts taken by our reasoning processes,usually without our awareness.
We should approach the topic of anthropomorphism from the angle of bias.Traditionally,assumptions about how and when people anthropomorphise have been so fixed that the psychology did not seem worth investigating.Slightly different attitudes can be found.For example,even though they advocate for anthropomorphic views of animals,the zoologists Jesus Rivas and Gordon Burghardt memorably note that it can be tricky:"Anthropomorphism comes in many forms and can catch you off guard!"While the recognition of"many forms"is progress,it makes the need for evidence﹣based research only more pressing.By focusing on implicit(隐性的)anthropomorphism,we shift attention from debating specific"humanlike"features to examining the deeper psychological mechanisms that make anthropomorphism so slippery.This,I believe,is the most challenging and most significant dimension of the problem.
1.What does the word "squashed" underlined in Paragraph 1 probably mean?_____
A.Awakened
B.Dampened
C.Misguided
D.Underestimated
2.What can we learn about anthropomorphism?_____
A.It turns animals' negative emotions into positive ones.
B.It underrates the emotional capacities of animal species.

【分析】这是一篇说明文,讲述了人们常将人类情感投射到动物身上(拟人化),分析其复杂性,提出应以更全面的视角看待这一现象。
1.【答案】 B
词义猜测题。根据第一段Pictures and videos of all sorts of animals regularly go viral these days because people connect with the apparent joy,friendship and playfulness of these animals.Unfortunately,the initial enthusiasm of these posts is often squashed by someone rightly noting that the animal's reaction is not joy or pleasure,but fear,anger or pain.(如今,各类动物的图片和视频经常在网上走红,因为人们会被这些动物表现出的看似快乐、友好和俏皮的样子所吸引。遗憾的是,这些帖子的热度往往会被一些人的理性提醒浇灭:动物的反应并非喜悦或愉悦,而是恐惧、愤怒或痛苦。)可知动物的反应并非喜悦或愉悦,而是恐惧、愤怒或痛苦。这里表示人们最初的热情被动物真实的负面反应"打消、浇灭"了。squashed的意思是"被负面事实打消热情"。A.Awakened唤醒;B.Dampened减弱,浇灭;C.Misguided误导;D.Underestimated低估。故选B。
2.【答案】 D
细节理解题。根据第二段This is a version of anthropomorphism:interpreting animals as we would interpret another human.The standard view has been that anthropomorphism is primarily an error of overestimating the intelligence of animals.(这是一种拟人化观点:将动物当作人类来解读。传统观点认为,拟人化主要是高估了动物的智力。)可知拟人化反映了将人类特质投射到动物身上。故选D。
3.【答案】 B
推理判断题。根据最后一段Traditionally,assumptions about how and when people anthropomorphise have been so fixed that the psychology did not seem worth investigating.Slightly different attitudes can be found.For example,even though they advocate for anthropomorphic views of animals,the zoologists Jesus Rivas and Gordon Burghardt memorably note that it can be tricky:"Anthropomorphism comes in many forms and can catch you off guard!"While the recognition of"many forms"is progress,it makes the need for evidence﹣based research only more pressing.By focusing on implicit(隐性的)anthropomorphism,we shift attention from debating specific"humanlike"features to examining the deeper psychological mechanisms that make anthropomorphism so slippery.This,I believe,is the most challenging and most significant dimension of the problem.(传统上,当人们进行拟人化解读时,相关假设一直没有改变,心理学也没有对其进行研究。不过,我们可以找到一些略有不同的观点。例如,尽管动物学家赫苏斯•里瓦斯和戈登•伯哈特也主张从拟人化的角度看待动物,但他们也敏锐地指出了问题的复杂性:"拟人化有多种形式,而且可能在不经意间影响你。"承认拟人化的多种表现形式是一种进步,但真正紧迫的研究需求,是关注隐性的拟人化。当我们把注意力从争论"类人特征"转移到审视让拟人化如此难以察觉的深层心理机制时,我相信,这才是问题最具挑战性、也最关键的维度。)可知作者引用动物学家的话"拟人化有多种形式,而且可能在不经意间影响你。",说明拟人化形式多样,很复杂。强调拟人化的复杂性。故选B。
4.【答案】 A
目的意图题。根据第三段 Instead of getting caught in a black﹣and﹣white debate,however,I want a more complicated,informed discussion of competing ideas.Once we agree that animals do,in fact,have emotions,we can acknowledge that the anthropomorphic mistake is not seeing emotion where there is none—it is seeing the wrong emotion.(不过,我不想陷入非黑即白的争论,而是希望展开一场更复杂、更全面的讨论。一旦我们承认动物确实有情绪,就能明白:拟人化的错误并非是"在没有情绪的地方硬说有情绪",而是"误判了情绪的类型"。)可知作者提出"我不想陷入非黑即白的争论,而是希望展开一场更复杂、更全面的讨论",即提出一种新的、更全面的视角。故选A。
Passage 3
(2026•广东一模)
What if the computers of tomorrow didn't depend on metal and plastic,but instead grew from the soil beneath our feet?This idea is turning into reality in a laboratory,where researchers at The Ohio State University have found that common fungi — such as shiitake and button mushrooms — can be used to create memory components for computing.
These mushroom﹣based devices act as organic memristors (忆阻器),short for memory resistors.Unlike traditional resistors,memristors have the unique ability to retain information about past electrical states.When current flows in one direction,their resistance increases;when it flows the opposite way,their resistance decreases.Even after the power is switched off,the resistance level remains,thus allowing memristors to function like tiny memory units inside a computer.
Mushrooms contain a dense,thread﹣like network known as mycelium (菌丝体),which can send tiny electrical signals — much like memristors do.To test this,scientists attached wires to dried mushrooms and sent small electrical pulses through them.The results were remarkable:the mushrooms switched between electrical states up to 5,850 times per second with about 90% accuracy.Although their performance dropped under higher electrical frequencies,stability returned when several mushrooms were linked together — suggesting a kind of collective intelligence,similar to how brain cells function together.
Beyond these exciting results,mushrooms come with major environmental advantages.Traditional memristors rely on scarce minerals and require high energy consumption.Mushrooms,however,are renewable,biodegradable,and easy to grow.Their mycelium can also be shaped into custom structures,making them suitable for wearable electronics,smart sensors,and other emerging technologies.
"Everything needed to explore organic computing could be as small as a pile of natural waste and some homemade electronics — or as large as a culturing factory," said John LaRocco,the study's lead author. "All of it is achievable with the resources we already have." In the not﹣too﹣distant future,the computers on our desks may very well have taken root — quite literally — in the forest.

【答案】 B
词句猜测题。根据第二段Unlike traditional resistors,memristors have the unique ability to retain information about past electrical states. (与传统电阻器不同,忆阻器具有retain过去电状态信息的独特能力)以及Even after the power is switched off,the resistance level remains,thus allowing memristors to function like tiny memory units inside a computer.(即使在电源关闭后,电阻水平仍然存在,因此允许忆阻器像计算机内的微型存储单元一样工作)可知,忆阻器能存储过去电状态信息,断电后电阻水平仍保持,就像存储信息一样,retain 意为"存储、保留",与store意义相近。A.Track跟踪;B.Store存储,保留;C.Gather聚集;D.Analyze分析。故选B。
【答案】 C
细节理解题。根据第三段Although their performance dropped under higher electrical frequencies,stability returned when several mushrooms were linked together — suggesting a kind of collective intelligence,similar to how brain cells function together. (尽管在较高电频率下它们的性能下降,但当多个蘑菇连接在一起时稳定性恢复——这表明一种集体智能,类似于脑细胞共同工作的方式)可知,作者意在说明菌丝体网络的协作特性。故选C。
【答案】 D
细节理解题。根据第四段Traditional memristors rely on scarce minerals and require high energy consumption.Mushrooms,however,are renewable,biodegradable,and easy to grow.Their mycelium can also be shaped into custom structures,making them suitable for wearable electronics,smart sensors,and other emerging technologies.(传统忆阻器依赖稀有矿物,且能耗较高。而蘑菇具有可再生、可生物降解、易于培育的特点,其菌丝体还能被塑造成定制化结构,这使其适用于可穿戴电子设备、智能传感器及其他新兴技术领域)可知,蘑菇基忆阻器具有可持续性和适应性。故选D。
【答案】 A
推理判断题。根据最后一段"Everything needed to explore organic computing could be as small as a pile of natural waste and some homemade electronics — or as large as a culturing factory," said John LaRocco,the study's lead author. "All of it is achievable with the resources we already have."(该研究的主要作者约翰•拉罗科说:"探索有机计算所需的一切都可以,小至一堆天然废物和一些自制电子产品,也可以大至一个养殖厂。"。"用我们现有的资源,所有这些都是可以实现的。")可推知,探索有机计算所需资源简单,用已有资源就能实现,说明其进入门槛低。故选A。
Passage 4
(2026•朝阳区一模)
Whether artists or scientists,investigators strike out from what is known to brave the unknown in acts of creative discovery.Think of artists and scientists as users of three modes of discovery:knowing,seeing,and telling.We are all seeking knowledge—epistemologists who question what we think we know,how we come to know it,and whether we can prove what we think we know.Meanwhile,we are all seers—aestheticists who confront what we perceive in natural and created appearances.Finally,we are all tellers and listeners—narrativists who tell about what we have found and listen to the findings of others.
The epistemologist's attention to knowing resonated (引起共鸣) in physicist Andrea Califano's precision﹣medicine discoveries in cancer biology.His philosopher﹣physicist mind is the creative ground to discover new treatments for cancer."A lot of ideas end up being very,very simple﹣minded in hindsight.But it's very difficult to foresee whether simple﹣minded ideas will work in the end.There's nothing magical about what we do.It's just that nobody had kind of thought of cancer in this way,"said Califano.
The aestheticists want to face the material world with all the capacities of the human to see and imagine.Tissue engineer Gordana Vunjak﹣Novakovic exposed the creative powers of aesthetics in the practice of a scientist.It was the novel Alexandria Quartet that gave her the idea of her work as"sliding planes":"Each of the sliding planes is a body of knowledge.Then they travel past each other,and somehow connect with each other.There were three sliding planes that are three different characters' perspectives.And then the fourth plane was the time.That is how the book was constructed,I believe,and this is how we do science."
Knowing and seeing require connections between the internal world of the seer or knower,the external world of the seeable and knowable,and the world of witnesses who receive what becomes seen or known.These connections,what I call"telling",are achieved through narrative acts like speech.It creates a network,bridging from person to person.NabilaEl﹣Bassel,an international leader in studying the most hard﹣to﹣deal﹣with global health problems,confirmed the necessity of listening to all"telling"voices.El﹣Bassel and her teams are listeners of their subjects' lived experiences,making sure that suffering individuals are heard and valued.
Recognising the fundamental roles of epistemology,aesthetics,and narrative studies in medical research avoids costly oppositions between arts and sciences.With all three discovery modes engaged,scientists gradually recognise why suffering matters,how delicate the balance between sickness and health is,and how urgent medicine's mission is.Health care's response to disease could then embrace the pursuit to comprehend phenomena deep within the cell and to face up to social issues vast across the Earth.
1.What does the word"hindsight"underlined in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? _____
A.Innovative mindset.
B.Blind﹣minded thinking.
C.Long﹣term perspective.
D.Reflective understanding.
2.What can we learn from this passage? _____
A.The author has a preference for narrative studies.
B.El﹣Bassel focuses on seeable external phenomena.
C.Gordana values tackling problems from diverse angles.
D.Califano's breakthrough sets ground for cancer biology.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? _____
A.Integration of art and science is hard to achieve.
B.Three discovery modes can balance sickness and health.
C.Meeting social needs is as vital as doing biological studies.
D.Medical research helps realise the role of three discovery modes.
4.Which would be the best title for the passage? _____
A.The Art of Science:Knowing,Seeing,and Telling
B.Three Modes of Discovery:Can Artists Be Scientists?
C.A Costly Conflict:The Battle Between Art and Science
D.The Medicine's Mission:Are Scientists Brave to Complete?
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了艺术家和科学家在探索未知时所共用的三种发现模式:认知、观察和叙述。通过具体实例,展示了这些模式在医学研究等领域的应用,并强调了艺术与科学融合的重要性。
1.【答案】 D
词句猜测题。根据第二段A lot of ideas end up being very,very simple﹣minded in hindsight.But it's very difficult to foresee whether simple﹣minded ideas will work in the end.( 很多想法hindsight都显得极其、极其浅显,但要预判这些看似简单的想法最终是否可行,却十分困难。)"可知,很多想法在事后看来很简单,但在当时很难预见其是否有效。由此可知,hindsight表示"事后看来,反思性的理解",与D项"Reflective understanding(反思性的理解)"意思一致。A.Innovative mindset创新思维;B.Blind﹣minded thinking盲目偏执的思维;C.Long﹣term perspective长远视角;D.Reflective understanding反思性的理解。故选D。
2.【答案】 C
推理判断题。根据第三段The aestheticists want to face the material world with all the capacities of the human to see and imagine.Tissue engineer Gordana Vunjak﹣Novakovic exposed the creative powers of aesthetics in the practice of a scientist.It was the novel Alexandria Quartet that gave her the idea of her work as"sliding planes":"Each of the sliding planes is a body of knowledge.Then they travel past each other,and somehow connect with each other.There were three sliding planes that are three different characters' perspectives.And then the fourth plane was the time.That is how the book was constructed,I believe,and this is how we do science."(审美主义者希望以人类所有的观察和想象能力来面对物质世界。组织工程师Gordana Vunjak﹣Novakovic在科学实践中展示了美学的创造力。正是小说《亚历山大四重奏》让她有了"滑动平面"的工作理念:"每个滑动平面都是一个知识体系。然后它们相互经过,并以某种方式相互连接。有三个滑动平面,是三个不同角色的视角。然后第四个平面是时间。我相信,这本书就是这样构建的,我们做科学也是这样构建的。)可知,Gordana从小说中获得了灵感,将不同视角和知识体系结合起来进行科学研究,这表明她重视从不同角度解决问题。故选C。
3.【答案】 C
推理判断题。根据最后一段Recognising the fundamental roles of epistemology,aesthetics,and narrative studies in medical research avoids costly oppositions between arts and sciences.With all three discovery modes engaged,scientists gradually recognise why suffering matters,how delicate the balance between sickness and health is,and how urgent medicine's mission is.Health care's response to disease could then embrace the pursuit to comprehend phenomena deep within the cell and to face up to social issues vast across the Earth.(认识到认识论、美学和叙事研究在医学研究中的基本作用,可以避免艺术与科学之间代价高昂的对立。通过这三种发现模式的参与,科学家们逐渐认识到为什么痛苦很重要,疾病与健康之间的平衡是多么微妙,以及医学的使命是多么紧迫。医疗对疾病的反应可以包括追求理解细胞深处的现象,以及面对全球范围内的社会问题。)可知,医疗对疾病的反应可以包括追求理解细胞深处的现象,以及面对全球范围内的社会问题,由此可知,满足社会需求和进行生物学研究同样重要。故选C。
4.【答案】 A
标题判断题。根据第一段Whether artists or scientists,investigators strike out from what is known to brave the unknown in acts of creative discovery.Think of artists and scientists as users of three modes of discovery:knowing,seeing,and telling.(无论是艺术家还是科学家,调查者都从已知的事物中勇敢地面对未知的事物,进行创造性的发现。把艺术家和科学家看作是三种发现模式的使用者:认知、观察和叙述。)以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了艺术家和科学家在探索未知时所共用的三种发现模式:认知、观察和叙述,并通过具体实例展示了这些模式在医学研究等领域的应用。A项"The Art of Science:Knowing,Seeing,and Telling(科学的艺术:认知、观察和叙述)"符合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选A。
