Could it be that he did not like them? The expert at the agency wholly dismissed that idea and suggested she take him to a doctor. It must be stomach trouble. After all, voluntary food rejection was almost unheard of in America at the time. Children ate what their parents put in front of them. They even asked for seconds. Today American children have become “the pickiest eaters in history.” Helen Zoe Veit, an associate professor at Michigan State University, decries changes in the social environment and adults’ attitudes over the past century that “allowed picky eating to take over American childhood.” Before the 20th century, there was no such thing as “children’s food.” Youngsters had wild, boundless appetites. They ate whatever their parents gave them. Besides, children, like adults, worked up appetites because they used to eat only at meals. The rise of snacking (resulting in a lack of hunger) is one of the modern causes of children’s picky eating habits at the dinner table. Another thing to change was the rise of supermarkets and processed foods. By the mid-1960s, the average American supermarket stored 7,000 items — ten times as many as in the 1920s. Advertisers began targeting children directly. “In the old days, children ate what their mothers bought; now the kids tell their mothers what to buy,” said Ethan Carter, an advertising executive at Kellogg’s. Ms Veit blames adults for treating food differently from toothbrushing or seat belts. Young children may say they do not want to brush teeth or wear a seat belt, but adults overrule them because they know best. Why not so with carrots or fish? To fight picky eating at home, why not feed the whole family the same meal and continue to introduce a food repeatedly even after a child has rejected it? 8．What did the expert think of the mother’s worry in 1915? A．It was completely unreasonable. B．It was caused by poor feeding. C．It was a sign of changing attitudes. D．It was common among children. 9．What does the underlined word “decries” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Predicts. B．Denies. C．Criticizes. D．Ignores. 10．What results from advertisements according to Ethan Carter? A．Child-driven family food choices. B．Children’s raised awareness of food. C．The popularity of children’s food. D．Processed food-based family diets. 11．What is Ms Veit’s advice for parents? A．Respect children’s food preferences. B．Offer a wide range of dietary options. C．Introduce new foods in a gradual way. D．Make healthy eating a non-negotiable rule. 【二、广东佛山市第一中学2026-2027学年高三9月检测试题】 Have you ever felt that mosquitoes love you more than others? While your friends remain untouched, you find yourself constantly hunted by these annoying insects. Well, it’s not your imagination. Science confirms that around 20% of people are naturally high attractors, or mosquito magnets, who are more often targeted year after year — and biology is to blame. The primary signal that draws mosquitoes from a distance is the carbon dioxide (CO₂) we breathe out. Capable of spotting a stream of CO₂ from up to 30 meters away, mosquitoes use this gas as a “dinner bell” signaling that a warm-blooded host is nearby. Once they pick up this clue, they start moving toward the source. However, as mosquitoes get closer, your unique body smell becomes the deciding factor. Our skin is home to millions of microbes (微生物) that break down natural oils and sweat, producing a complex cocktail of chemical compounds. According to a significant study published in the journal Cell, individuals who are mosquito magnets tend to produce much higher levels of specific types of acids on their skin. These acids act like an irresistible smell to mosquitoes. In contrast, those less attractive produce more ketones, which seem to mask their smells, making them invisible to mosquitoes. To test this, researchers designed an experiment in a large enclosed arena — about the size of a land-skating rink. They released mosquitoes and observed how they chose between different people. The results showed that mosquitoes consistently flew toward those with certain skin smells. Other factors like body heat, sweat, and genetic makeup also play a role. Since our skin microbiome is largely genetically determined, being a mosquito magnet is often a matter of bad luck. Importantly, this research isn’t just about avoiding itchy bites. Every year, millions of people die from mosquito-borne diseases. Understanding how mosquitoes find us can inspire scientists to find better solutions. So next time mosquitoes buzz around you, remember: it’s not a curse—it’s science. And soon, we might have smarter ways to outsmart these bothersome biters. 8．What function does carbon dioxide serve for mosquitoes? A．It acts as an appetizer. B．It provides a nutrient source. C．It helps locate human’s presence. D．It distinguishes human skin types. 9．What is the key factor that makes some people more attractive to mosquitoes? A．The microbes living on their skin. B．The natural oils produced by their skin. C．A great deal of CO₂ breathed out by them. D．Large amounts of certain acids on their skin. 10．What can be inferred from the text? A．Body temperature is the most critical factor. B．Being a mosquito magnet is largely unchangeable. C．Diet and lifestyle habits influence mosquitoes’ choices. D．People can improve their genetic makeup to avoid mosquitoes. 11．According to the text, what might be the significance of the research? A．Revealing how mosquitoes find targets. B．Explaining why some people attract mosquitoes. C．Contributing to how we battle against mosquitoes. D．Proving that smell affects mosquitoes’ biting preferences. 【三、广东湛江市教研体2026-2027学年高三开学英语试题】 According to an official report, with more than 40% of US teenagers reporting ongoing feelings of sadness or hopelessness, Dr Kenneth Barish, a child psychologist, believes grandparents may be an important part of the solution. He says the decline of extended family involvement has been identified as a contributing factor to a continuing crisis in child and adolescent (青少年) mental health. “We did not evolve to raise children with as little extended family and community support as most American parents have now,” says Dr Barish. “Children need grandparents, and they always have.” In his new book, Dr Barish draws on 40 years of clinical experience, as well as findings from neuroscience, child development studies, and educational programs, to argue that grandparents can play a meaningful role in helping families navigate today’s parenting challenges. Dr Barish says grandparents offer more than just practical support for parents. They also provide what he describes as “molecules of emotional health”, small but meaningful moments of encouragement, attention, and understanding that help strengthen children’s “emotional immune systems”. “A child’s confident expectation that someone will listen and understand is the best protection against the emotional pathogens (病原体) they will experience throughout their childhood. More than anything else, children need someone in their life who listens, who helps them feel less alone, and who teaches them that problems can be solved, relationships can be repaired, and bad feelings do not last forever,” Dr Barish explains. Ultimately, Dr Barish argues, “Helping children thrive (茁壮成长) depends less on teaching specific skills and more on fostering emotional strength, confidence, and meaningful relationships. Our children will then work harder, bounce back more quickly, show more caring and kindness toward others, and pursue interests with greater enthusiasm, commitment, and a sense of purpose.” 8．What does Dr Barish think contributes to the ongoing crisis in child mental health? A．Growing bonds between generations. B．Reduced family and neighbor assistance. C．Insufficient community support for parents. D．Less participation from relatives in raising kids. 9．What lays the foundation of Dr Barish’s new book? A．His family upbringing and observations of child behavior. B．His clinical records and data from brain science research. C．His four-decade practice and findings from related fields. D．His professional background and modern educational theories. 10．Which can be the molecules of emotional health? A．Small acts of emotional care. B．Expensive gifts for children. C．Strict rules for behavior. D．Physical medicines for health. 11．What is crucial for children to thrive according to the last paragraph? A．Mastering specific skills. B．Pursuing personal interests. C．Showing caring toward others. D．Developing emotional intelligence. 【四、广东高三阶段联考2026-2027学年高三上学期10月阶段检测试题】 Friendships are so important developmentally, so it’s heartbreaking when young people can’t make them. And the reasons are sometimes obvious. Some parents are masterful and keep disturbing their children’s lives. Some young people have been bullied and have had their confidence taken away from them. Some — through no fault of their own — struggle to understand others’ feelings, unable to read the signals or understand the jokes, unable to collaborate or share. Yet one more point cannot be ignored. Many of those who struggle to make friends pretend to be more than they are, to be bigger, better, cleverer, cooler than they are, to be more confident than they feel. They maintain what Helene Deutsch calls an “as if” personality, or what Winnicott calls a “false self”. It’s as if somewhere along the line they’ve developed a pretend-self to deal with life and haven’t yet had time to integrate it with the other, less anxious, less defended, more relaxed parts of themselves. This pretend-self may have developed for good reasons. At the time, it may have seemed like the only way to survive a frightening or stressful situation. It may have been a behavior shaped by other people. The problem is that now the “pretend” young person doesn’t seem to fit together. And other young people sense this. It makes them uneasy, unsure how to interact with someone who may not be all that he seems. After all, we need our friends to be reliable and honest; we need to know where we stand with them, and inconsistent people make us uneasy. We don’t know if we can trust them because we don’t really know who they are. In particular, “pretend” young people struggling to make friends often seem to be struggling with anger: with their own and with other people’s. They act sad and passive when they’re clearly full of anger, or they act angry when they’re obviously sad and frightened. They draw back from the anger of other young people or they try desperately to control it. 8. How does the author view young people’s difficulty in making friends? A. Workable. B. Understandable. C. Predictable. D. Adaptable. 9. What does paragraph 2 imply about young people’s making friends? A. Being themselves is essential. B. Improving skills matters most. C. Showing confidence is vital. D. Being cool guarantees gains. 10. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. One’s broken-up friendship. B. A poorly integrated self. C. Others’ uneasy interaction. D. Stress from the outside world. 11. What might the text continue discussing concerning young people’s anger? A. Why it harms their health. B. Whether it improves their friendships. C. How they handle it appropriately. D. When they sense deep-seated anger. 【五、广东广州市实验外语学校2026-2027学年高三上学期9月阶段检测试题】 Summer comes, and mosquitoes constantly buzz and bite, leaving red marks and ruining our sleep. To fight them, DEET (避蚊胺) is assumed to be the gold standard for preventing mosquito bites. Most researchers agree that a key part of its effectiveness is unpleasantness — the bugs just hate to be around it. However, some mosquitoes seem capable of overcoming their revulsion, leading to the theory that the insects might be getting used to the chemical. Claudio Lazzari at the University of Tours set out to investigate, by running a version of the experiments made famous by Ivan Pavlov in the late 1800s where dogs were conditioned to associate sounds with food. In those experiments, Pavlov routinely rang a signal bell and then immediately fed the dogs. Eventually, when he made the sounds but didn’t provide food, he found the animals still salivated (流口水), as they would before a meal. In his experiments, Dr Lazzari presented hungry mosquitoes with warm sheep’s blood while being exposed to a gentle breeze of ordinary air or of air blown past a piece of paper soaked in DEET. After many similar repeated experiments, the researchers then bravely presented their own hands to the insects. One hand was covered in DEET while the other was left untreated. To their frustration they watched as 60% of the mosquitoes that had been presented with blood while being exposed to DEET bit the hand coated in DEET. In contrast, all mosquitoes trained with ordinary air avoided it entirely. Dr Lazzari’s conditioning in the laboratory was important for the mosquitoes in developing their fondness for DEET. But the chances are good that a similar scene is taking place in the real world, where the effects of DEET typically weaken over time, especially when people are sweating or not applying enough of the stuff in the first place. In such circumstances, hungry mosquitoes are most likely to be able to tolerate the faint smell of DEET, bite a lightly protected person, begin connecting the smell with food and become more dangerous to those they encounter later in their lives. 8．What does the underlined word “revulsion” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Dislike. B．Fondness. C．Desire. D．Curiosity. 9．Why was Pavlov’s experiment mentioned? A．To prove DEET’s effect. B．To explain conditioning. C．To honor early biologists. D．To analyze animal behavior. 10．What can we learn about the research from paragraph 4? A．Sheep’s blood drove mosquitoes away. B．All mosquitoes weren’t thirsty for blood. C．Ordinary air fueled mosquitoes’ appetite. D．Most mosquitoes were conditioned to DEET. 11．Why does DEET sometimes fail to keep mosquitoes away? A．Sweat clears DEET completely. B．Mosquitoes associate it with food. C．Its smell grows stronger over time. D．Human blood weakens the chemical. 【六、广东江门市新会第一中学2026-2027学年高三学情诊断试题】 You’ve most likely heard the news by now: A car-commuting, desk-bound, TV-watching lifestyle can be harmful to our health. All the time that we spend rooted in the chair is linked to increased risks of so many deadly diseases that experts have named this modern-day health epidemic the “sitting disease”. Sitting for too long slows down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢)and the way enzymes break down our fat reserves, raising both blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Small amounts of regular activity, even just standing and moving around, throughout the day is enough to bring the increased levels back down. And those small amounts of activity add up — 30 minutes of light activity in two or three-minute bursts can be just as effective as a half-hour block of exercise. But without that activity, blood sugar levels and blood pressure keep creeping up, steadily damaging the inside of the arteries (动脉) and increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and other serious diseases. In essence, fundamental changes in biology occur if you sit for too long. But wait, you’re a runner. You needn’t worry about the harm of a sedentary lifestyle because you exercise regularly, right? Well, not so fast. Recent studies show that people spend an average of 64 hours a week sitting, whether or not they exercise 150 minutes a week as recommended by World Health Organization(WHO). Regular exercisers, furthermore, are found to be about 30 percent less active on days when they exercise. Overall, most people simply aren’t exercising or moving around enough to balance out all the harm that can result from sitting nine hours or more a day. Scared straight out of your chair? Good. The remedy is as simple as standing up and taking activity breaks. 8．Which is the best way to bring down high blood sugar level and blood pressure? A．Doing exercise for 150 minutes or more every week. B．Getting rid of the habit of car commuting and TV watching. C．Standing or moving around for at least two minutes every day. D．Interrupting sitting time with light activity as often as possible. 9．What does the word “sedentary” in the third paragraph most likely mean? A．Inactive. B．Risky. C．Overloaded. D．Unbalanced. 10．Which of the following may be inferred about those who do serious exercise? A．They always meet the exercise standard recommended by WHO. B．They tend to stand or move less on the days when they work out. C．They usually remove all the harmful effects of sitting for too long. D．They generally spend less time sitting than those who do not exercise. 11．What is the passage mainly, about? A．The challenges of the modern lifestyle. B．The effect of regular activity on our body. C．The reasons for the spread of a modern epidemic. D．The threat to our health from long hours of sitting. 【七、广东汕头市第一中学2026-2027学年高三上学期9月阶段检测试题】 At a restaurant in Florence, a group gathers to discuss Sarah Winman’s Still Life. On the walls hang the photos of the destructive 1966 Arno flood that planted the seed of her story. Participants, once strangers, form a literary circle. This is a new type of holiday centering on reading rather than typical leisure (休闲). Lyn Margerison, one of the participants, was first drawn to an online advertisement of the Books in Places project and has since travelled from Dorset to Florence, Budapest and beyond. It showed one of my very favourite books arranged on a table with a glass of wine, set against a square in Florence. The caption (说明文字) asked: ‘Do you enjoy reading books in the places in which they are set?’” she recalls. Books in Places was founded by Paul Wright in 2023. Now he organizes short breaks in the UK and longer journeys to many countries, where people read in the very places stories are set. “Location is at the heart of everything,” says Wright. “Exploring the streets, landscapes and atmosphere of the setting (背景) provides a deep understanding of the story. A scene that was once just words on a page suddenly comes alive when you’ve walked the same alleys, tasted the same food or felt the same light as the characters.” This isn’t just niche travel. A 2025 survey reveals that many UK travellers pick destinations for reading, among which Millennials (千禧一代) rise to 60%. Meanwhile, it’s estimated that literary tourism may hit $3.3 bn by 2034. Readers no longer just read by the pool but want reading to open new views of the world: sailing the Nile with Death on the Nile, walking St. Malo while talking about All the Light We Cannot See, and following fossil-hunting paths in Lyme Regis from Remarkable Creatures. As the author Jeanette Winterson once said, “Books are like doors; when one opens, a new world waits.” Reading holidays are literal steps through those doors, into new worlds of friendship, curiosity and shared discovery. 8．Why did Margerison travel to multiple places ? A．To visit her friends living abroad. B．To collect materials for her writing. C．To experience the settings of her favorite books. D．To attend professional book discussions. 9．According to Wright, what do participants gain from Books in Places? A．A real connection to literary worlds. B．A chance to meet famous writers. C．A stronger bond with local people. D．A better sense of European cultures. 10．What does the underlined word “niche” probably mean in paragraph 5? A．Common in daily life. B．Centered on famous sites. C．Available in many countries. D．Limited to specific groups. 11．Which of the following could be a suitable title for the text ? A．Book Clubs: A New Way of Socializing. B．Literary Travel: Stepping into the Story. C．Classic Novels: A Door to Modern Cities. D．Historic Sites: The Power of Ancient Light. 【八、广东深圳市罗湖区多校联考2026-2027学年第一学期学业质量检测高三试题】 Today, it seems normal for children to play in playgrounds with adults watching over them. But a little over a century ago, childhood in America looked very different: children wandered the streets and fields freely, making up their own rules and settling their own conflicts with little adult involvement. As industrialization and city growth sped up, however, the safety of children in crowded cities became a growing concern. The “playground movement” came into being. In 1885, Boston introduced the first “sand gardens” — special areas where children could play under adult watch. The idea spread quickly. By 1903, when New York City opened its first public playground, more than 2,000 children showed up on opening day. Supporters held a core belief: “The playground of today is the republic(共和国) of tomorrow.” To them, with adults watching over and clear rules to follow, these spaces were more than just safe places; they were where children learned the discipline and cooperation that would serve them well as members of society. Yet the movement carried a less visible cost. The playground drew a clear line on the map. Inside was safe, protected childhood; outside was danger and the disorderly adult world. The playground kept them safe, but it also separated them from the wider social world. Once drawn, that line has never disappeared. Sociologists point out a central puzzle of modern childhood: we work harder than ever to protect children, yet we may be reducing the space they need to grow. As child development expert Lenore Skenazy puts it, it is through independent activity that children learn to assess risk, handle disagreements, and face troubles by themselves. As the boundaries of childhood grow tighter, we might ask: in protecting children from the unknown, are we also keeping them from growing up? Safety matters, but so does the chance to grow in the real world. The task, perhaps, is not to erase the line, but to learn where to draw it. 8．Which of the following best describes the childhood in America a century ago? A．Risky and violent. B．Carefree and unhurried. C．Wild but self-governing. D．Well-guided but restricted. 9．How did supporters view the playground movement? A．It keeps the republic united. B．It eases the burden of parents. C．It enriches children’s spare time. D．It helps develop children’s citizenship. 10．What can be inferred from Lenore Skenazy’s words? A．Free-range children are neglected children. B．Overprotected kids are underprepared kids. C．A safe environment makes a happy childhood. D．A child’s growth comes from a parent’s presence. 11．What is the best title for the text? A．The Great Revolution B．The Fenced-in Childhood C．The Cost of Independent Play D．The Rise of Public Playgrounds 【九、广东深圳市盐田高级中学等校2026-2027学年高三上学期9月阶段检测试题】 It’s estimated that more than 1 in 5 American adults now use a wearable fitness tracker of some kind. But there are also questions about whether having access to all this information is actually making us fitter and whether there’s a danger of too much information being potentially harmful. As with most new technology, trackers have both good and bad sides. When used properly, they can indeed help people become more aware of their fitness. “Overall, I find them positive,” says researcher Seth Creasy. If you’re aiming to walk at least 10,000 steps a day and see you’ve walked only 8,000 steps, it may inspire you to walk 2,000 more. Many people also use doctor-recommended wearables to help manage long-term health issues. While there are undeniably many benefits to using wellness devices, studies have pointed to potential downsides as well. The first issue has to do with accuracy. “The trackers can be accurate for certain measurements like steps and heart rate,” says Creasy. “However, they aren’t always able to measure these things accurately all the time.” Creasy says he has seen numerous occasions where the data says one thing but the person tells another story. Another problem is how people understand and use the data. “Information viewed alone doesn’t provide the complete picture,” says Jessica Matthews. “What’s important is that one piece of information be used as part of a greater whole.” With medical devices, experts recommend that people discuss the data with a health professional. Perhaps the biggest potential problem is how they can affect those who are easily influenced. Experts explain there’s a tendency for some people to obsess over the information their tracker provides and to become overly reliant on it. And for perfectionists, failing to meet their fitness or sleep goals can cause feelings of stress. While trackers can deliver an impressive amount of information, more is not necessarily better for everyone. 8．What does Creasy think of trackers according to paragraph 2? A．They are durable. B．They provide cures. C．They monitor exercise effects. D．They motivate workouts. 9．Why do experts suggest discussing tracker data with health workers? A．Trackers often give false readings. B．Data needs comprehensive analysis. C．Users can’t understand device numbers. D．Doctors can fix trackers’ accuracy problems. 10．What aspect does the last paragraph focus on regarding fitness trackers? A．Their potential clients. B．Their psychological effects. C．Their practical functions. D．Their future development. 11．What is the purpose of the text? A．To compare wearable devices. B．To promote fitness tracking devices. C．To explain trackers’ weaknesses. D．To discuss trackers’ benefits and risks. 【十、广东五校2026-2027学年度第一学期第二次联考试题】 Next time you’re walking through a park on a hot day, take a moment to sit under a big old tree. You’ll find that the temperature is something like 2℃ cooler than if you were beneath an umbrella. Why? Because a mature tree releases a massive amount of water from its leaves, which cools the surrounding air, just like the way sweating cools our bodies down. So a single tree influences the microclimate around it — but what about an entire forest? That’s the question explored in The Power of Trees by German forester Peter Wohlleben. He writes about trees, ecosystems, roots and the many creatures who live in and among them in a fresh, lively way. He believes forests and trees make decisions about their survival, protect and look after their young. For readers, some of this language is familiar, and some may know that this style has been a source of derision (嘲笑) in the past. However, it’s this down-to-earth, conversational style that makes the book come to life and makes complex science accessible. He explains processes, such as the way trees access and use sugars at different times of the year, in simple, everyday terms. Wohlleben writes in a calm style, but he can’t hide his anger with the way people today — including many environmentalists — now “think of trees as little more than biological storage units for carbon dioxide either while they are alive or when they are dead”. This narrow perspective ignores the vast beneficial effects that forests generate for global temperature management. His claims and criticisms are backed by emerging science and new research, as well as practical observations of how the presence of forests changes the landscape nearby. This book is wise and thought-provoking. In his chapter highlighting the role of wolves as top predators (捕食者) in preserving the forest, Wohlleben writes: “We can come at protecting forests from whatever direction we want, but the results are always the same. We must put less pressure on nature by exploiting (开发) it less. We must strengthen forests by allowing them to take care of themselves.” 8. What does The Power of Trees explore? A. Temperature management. B. The loss of water in leaves. C. Formation of microclimates. D. The vital role that forests play. 9. Which can describe the language in the book? A. Complex. B. Fancy. C. Approachable. D. Professional. 10. How does Wohlleben deal with people’s narrow perspective on forests? A. He treats it lightly. B. He turns a deaf ear to it. C. He refers to it selectively. D. He argues against it convincingly. 11. What does Wohlleben suggest for protecting forests? A. Fighting climate change. B. Leaving them alone. C. Returning farmland to forest. D. Driving wolves away. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03 C篇阅读理解说明文 目录： 1. 广东东莞市三校联考2026-2027学年高三11月阶段试题 2. 广东佛山市第一中学2026-2027学年高三9月检测试题 3. .广东湛江市教研体2026-2027学年高三开学英语试题 4. 广东高三阶段联考2026-2027学年高三上学期10月阶段检测试题 5. 广东广州市实验外语学校2026-2027学年高三上学期9月阶段检测试题 6. 广东江门市新会第一中学2026-2027学年高三学情诊断试题 7. 广东汕头市第一中学2026-2027学年高三上学期9月阶段检测试题 8. 广东深圳市罗湖区多校联考2026-2027学年第一学期学业质量检测高三试题 9. 广东深圳市盐田高级中学等校2026-2027学年高三上学期9月阶段检测试题 10. 广东五校2026-2027学年度第一学期第二次联考试题 限时练习：_________分钟 完成时间： 月 日 【一、广东东莞市三校联考2026-2027学年高三11月阶段试题 】 In 1915 a worried mother from Maine wrote to the United States Children’s Bureau to ask why her son was rejecting a variety of foods.

(1915 年，一位来自缅因州的母亲忧心忡忡地致信美国儿童局，询问为什么她的儿子拒绝吃各种各样的食物。会不会是他不喜欢这些食物呢？该机构的专家完全否定了这个想法，并建议她带他去看医生。一定是胃部问题。)”可知，1915年的专家完全否定了这位母亲的担忧，认为她的担心完全不合理。 9．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Helen Zoe Veit, an associate professor at Michigan State University, decries changes in the social environment and adults’ attitudes over the past century that “allowed picky eating to take over American childhood.” (密歇根州立大学副教授Helen Zoe Veit decries了过去一个世纪中社会环境和成人态度的变化，这些变化“挑食主宰了美国儿童的童年”。)”可知，Veit对这种现象持批评态度，因此decries意为“谴责，批评”。 10．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Another thing to change was the rise of supermarkets and processed foods. By the mid-1960s, the average American supermarket stored 7,000 items — ten times as many as in the 1920s. Advertisers began targeting children directly. “In the old days, children ate what their mothers bought; now the kids tell their mothers what to buy,” said Ethan Carter, an advertising executive at Kellogg’s. (另一项变化是超市与加工食品的兴起。到 20 世纪 60 年代中期，美国普通超市储备 7000 种商品，是 20 世纪 20 年代的十倍。广告商开始直接把儿童作为宣传目标。家乐氏的广告主管Ethan Carter说：“在过去，孩子们吃母亲买的东西；现在孩子们告诉母亲该买什么”)”可知，Ethan Carter认为广告导致了儿童主导家庭食物选择。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ms Veit blames adults for treating food differently from toothbrushing or seat belts. Young children may say they do not want to brush teeth or wear a seat belt, but adults overrule them because they know best. Why not so with carrots or fish? (维特女士认为，问题出在成年人对待食物的态度和对待刷牙、系安全带不一样。幼儿可能会说他们不想刷牙或系安全带，但成年人会否决他们，因为成年人最清楚。为什么胡萝卜或鱼就不行呢？)”可知，Veit女士建议父母像对待刷牙和系安全带一样，将健康饮食作为一项不可协商的规则。 【二、广东佛山市第一中学2026-2027学年高三9月检测试题】 Have you ever felt that mosquitoes love you more than others? While your friends remain untouched, you find yourself constantly hunted by these annoying insects. Well, it’s not your imagination. Science confirms that around 20% of people are naturally high attractors, or mosquito magnets, who are more often targeted year after year — and biology is to blame. The primary signal that draws mosquitoes from a distance is the carbon dioxide (CO₂) we breathe out. Capable of spotting a stream of CO₂ from up to 30 meters away, mosquitoes use this gas as a “dinner bell” signaling that a warm-blooded host is nearby. Once they pick up this clue, they start moving toward the source. However, as mosquitoes get closer, your unique body smell becomes the deciding factor. Our skin is home to millions of microbes (微生物) that break down natural oils and sweat, producing a complex cocktail of chemical compounds. According to a significant study published in the journal Cell, individuals who are mosquito magnets tend to produce much higher levels of specific types of acids on their skin. These acids act like an irresistible smell to mosquitoes. In contrast, those less attractive produce more ketones, which seem to mask their smells, making them invisible to mosquitoes. To test this, researchers designed an experiment in a large enclosed arena — about the size of a land-skating rink. They released mosquitoes and observed how they chose between different people. The results showed that mosquitoes consistently flew toward those with certain skin smells. Other factors like body heat, sweat, and genetic makeup also play a role. Since our skin microbiome is largely genetically determined, being a mosquito magnet is often a matter of bad luck. Importantly, this research isn’t just about avoiding itchy bites. Every year, millions of people die from mosquito-borne diseases. Understanding how mosquitoes find us can inspire scientists to find better solutions. So next time mosquitoes buzz around you, remember: it’s not a curse—it’s science. And soon, we might have smarter ways to outsmart these bothersome biters. 8．What function does carbon dioxide serve for mosquitoes? A．It acts as an appetizer. B．It provides a nutrient source. C．It helps locate human’s presence. D．It distinguishes human skin types. 9．What is the key factor that makes some people more attractive to mosquitoes? A．The microbes living on their skin. B．The natural oils produced by their skin. C．A great deal of CO₂ breathed out by them. D．Large amounts of certain acids on their skin. 10．What can be inferred from the text? A．Body temperature is the most critical factor. B．Being a mosquito magnet is largely unchangeable. C．Diet and lifestyle habits influence mosquitoes’ choices. D．People can improve their genetic makeup to avoid mosquitoes. 11．According to the text, what might be the significance of the research? A．Revealing how mosquitoes find targets. B．Explaining why some people attract mosquitoes. C．Contributing to how we battle against mosquitoes. D．Proving that smell affects mosquitoes’ biting preferences. 【答案】8．C 9．D 10．B 11．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了为何有些人更容易吸引蚊子，解释了蚊子如何通过二氧化碳、体味等因素寻找目标，并阐述了相关研究的意义。 【详解】 8．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The primary signal that draws mosquitoes from a distance is the carbon dioxide (CO₂) we breathe out. Capable of spotting a stream of CO₂ from up to 30 meters away, mosquitoes use this gas as a “dinner bell” signaling that a warm-blooded host is nearby.(将蚊子从远处吸引过来的主要信号是我们呼出的二氧化碳。蚊子能够从30米外发现一股二氧化碳，它们将这种气体作为“开饭铃声”，表明附近有温血宿主)”可知，蚊子利用二氧化碳来定位温血宿主的存在，即帮助它们定位人类的存在。故选C项。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段中“According to a significant study published in the journal Cell, individuals who are mosquito magnets tend to produce much higher levels of specific types of acids on their skin. These acids act like an irresistible smell to mosquitoes.(根据发表在《细胞》杂志上的一项重要研究，那些特别吸引蚊子的人往往会在皮肤上产生更高水平的特定类型的酸。这些酸对蚊子来说就像一种无法抗拒的气味)”可知，某些人皮肤上产生的大量特定类型的酸是吸引蚊子的关键因素。故选D项。 10．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Other factors like body heat, sweat, and genetic makeup also play a role. Since our skin microbiome is largely genetically determined, being a mosquito magnet is often a matter of bad luck.(其他因素如体温、汗液和基因构成也会产生影响。由于我们的皮肤微生物群主要由基因决定，招蚊子体质往往只能归咎于运气不佳)”可知，成为特别吸引蚊子的人很大程度上是由基因决定的，难以改变。故选B项。 11．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Understanding how mosquitoes find us can inspire scientists to find better solutions.(了解蚊子如何找到我们，可以启发科学家找到更好的解决方案)”可知，研究蚊子如何找到目标有助于科学家找到更好的对抗蚊子的方法，即这项研究的意义在于有助于我们对抗蚊子。故选C项。 【三、广东湛江市教研体2026-2027学年高三开学英语试题】 According to an official report, with more than 40% of US teenagers reporting ongoing feelings of sadness or hopelessness, Dr Kenneth Barish, a child psychologist, believes grandparents may be an important part of the solution. He says the decline of extended family involvement has been identified as a contributing factor to a continuing crisis in child and adolescent (青少年) mental health. “We did not evolve to raise children with as little extended family and community support as most American parents have now,” says Dr Barish. “Children need grandparents, and they always have.” In his new book, Dr Barish draws on 40 years of clinical experience, as well as findings from neuroscience, child development studies, and educational programs, to argue that grandparents can play a meaningful role in helping families navigate today’s parenting challenges. Dr Barish says grandparents offer more than just practical support for parents. They also provide what he describes as “molecules of emotional health”, small but meaningful moments of encouragement, attention, and understanding that help strengthen children’s “emotional immune systems”. “A child’s confident expectation that someone will listen and understand is the best protection against the emotional pathogens (病原体) they will experience throughout their childhood. More than anything else, children need someone in their life who listens, who helps them feel less alone, and who teaches them that problems can be solved, relationships can be repaired, and bad feelings do not last forever,” Dr Barish explains. Ultimately, Dr Barish argues, “Helping children thrive (茁壮成长) depends less on teaching specific skills and more on fostering emotional strength, confidence, and meaningful relationships. Our children will then work harder, bounce back more quickly, show more caring and kindness toward others, and pursue interests with greater enthusiasm, commitment, and a sense of purpose.” 8．What does Dr Barish think contributes to the ongoing crisis in child mental health? A．Growing bonds between generations. B．Reduced family and neighbor assistance. C．Insufficient community support for parents. D．Less participation from relatives in raising kids. 9．What lays the foundation of Dr Barish’s new book? A．His family upbringing and observations of child behavior. B．His clinical records and data from brain science research. C．His four-decade practice and findings from related fields. D．His professional background and modern educational theories. 10．Which can be the molecules of emotional health? A．Small acts of emotional care. B．Expensive gifts for children. C．Strict rules for behavior. D．Physical medicines for health. 11．What is crucial for children to thrive according to the last paragraph? A．Mastering specific skills. B．Pursuing personal interests. C．Showing caring toward others. D．Developing emotional intelligence. 【答案】8．D 9．C 10．A 11．D 【导语】文章主要讲述儿童心理学家Kenneth Barish博士指出，扩大家庭参与度下降是美国青少年心理健康危机的诱因之一。他在新书中结合40年临床经验与多领域研究成果，提出祖父母可通过给予孩子鼓励、关注与理解这类细碎的情感关怀，筑牢孩子的情绪“防护屏障”，而助力孩子茁壮成长的核心是培养情绪力量、自信心与良性人际关系。 【详解】 8．细节理解题。文章第一段中“He says the decline of extended family involvement has been identified as a contributing factor to a continuing crisis in child and adolescent (青少年) mental health. (他表示，扩大家庭成员参与度下降已被视为导致儿童和青少年心理健康持续危机的一个因素。)”明确指出，Dr Barish认为大家族参与度的下降（decline of extended family involvement）是导致青少年心理健康危机的一个因素。 9．细节理解题。第三段“In his new book, Dr Barish draws on 40 years of clinical experience, as well as findings from neuroscience, child development studies, and educational programs, to argue that grandparents can play a meaningful role in helping families navigate today’s parenting challenges. (在新书中，Barish博士结合了40年的临床经验，以及神经科学、儿童发展研究和教育项目的研究成果，提出祖父母可以在帮助家庭应对当今育儿挑战方面发挥重要作用。)”提到，Dr Barish的新书基于他40年的临床经验以及神经科学、儿童发展研究和教育项目的发现。 10．推理判断题。根据第四段中“They also provide what he describes as “molecules of emotional health”, small but meaningful moments of encouragement, attention, and understanding that help strengthen children’s “emotional immune systems”. (他们还提供了他所描述的“情感健康分子”——那些虽小却意义深远的鼓励、关注和理解时刻，有助于增强儿童的“情感免疫系统”。)”可知，情感健康分子是小而有力的情感关怀时刻。选项A“Small acts of emotional care (细微的情感关怀)”与此一致。 11．细节理解题。最后一段中“Helping children thrive (茁壮成长) depends less on teaching specific skills and more on fostering emotional strength, confidence, and meaningful relationships. (帮助孩子茁壮成长，与其说依赖教授特定技能，不如说更在于培养他们的情感力量、自信心以及有意义的人际关系。)”强调，帮助孩子茁壮成长的关键在于培养情感力量、自信和有意义的关系，而非教授具体技能。选项D“Developing emotional intelligence”（发展情感智力）概括了这些核心要素。 【四、广东高三阶段联考2026-2027学年高三上学期10月阶段检测试题】 Friendships are so important developmentally, so it’s heartbreaking when young people can’t make them. And the reasons are sometimes obvious. Some parents are masterful and keep disturbing their children’s lives. Some young people have been bullied and have had their confidence taken away from them. Some — through no fault of their own — struggle to understand others’ feelings, unable to read the signals or understand the jokes, unable to collaborate or share. Yet one more point cannot be ignored. Many of those who struggle to make friends pretend to be more than they are, to be bigger, better, cleverer, cooler than they are, to be more confident than they feel. They maintain what Helene Deutsch calls an “as if” personality, or what Winnicott calls a “false self”. It’s as if somewhere along the line they’ve developed a pretend-self to deal with life and haven’t yet had time to integrate it with the other, less anxious, less defended, more relaxed parts of themselves. This pretend-self may have developed for good reasons. At the time, it may have seemed like the only way to survive a frightening or stressful situation. It may have been a behavior shaped by other people. The problem is that now the “pretend” young person doesn’t seem to fit together. And other young people sense this. It makes them uneasy, unsure how to interact with someone who may not be all that he seems. After all, we need our friends to be reliable and honest; we need to know where we stand with them, and inconsistent people make us uneasy. We don’t know if we can trust them because we don’t really know who they are. In particular, “pretend” young people struggling to make friends often seem to be struggling with anger: with their own and with other people’s. They act sad and passive when they’re clearly full of anger, or they act angry when they’re obviously sad and frightened. They draw back from the anger of other young people or they try desperately to control it. 8. How does the author view young people’s difficulty in making friends? A. Workable. B. Understandable. C. Predictable. D. Adaptable. 9. What does paragraph 2 imply about young people’s making friends? A. Being themselves is essential. B. Improving skills matters most. C. Showing confidence is vital. D. Being cool guarantees gains. 10. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. One’s broken-up friendship. B. A poorly integrated self. C. Others’ uneasy interaction. D. Stress from the outside world. 11. What might the text continue discussing concerning young people’s anger? A. Why it harms their health. B. Whether it improves their friendships. C. How they handle it appropriately. D. When they sense deep-seated anger. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C 【导语】本文主要分析了青少年难以建立友谊的多重成因，重点论述了“虚假自我”人格的形成背景、其对人际交往的阻碍作用，以及存在交友障碍的青少年在愤怒情绪管理上的典型问题。 【详解】 8.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Friendships are so important developmentally, so it’s heartbreaking when young people can’t make them. And the reasons are sometimes obvious. Some parents are masterful and keep disturbing their children’s lives. Some young people have been bullied and have had their confidence taken away from them. Some — through no fault of their own — struggle to understand others’ feelings, unable to read the signals or understand the jokes, unable to collaborate or share.(友谊对成长发展至关重要，因此当年轻人无法建立友谊时会令人十分痛心。而原因有时是显而易见的：有些父母控制欲极强，不断干扰孩子的生活；有些年轻人曾遭受霸凌，自信被消磨殆尽；还有些人并非自身过错，却难以理解他人的情绪，无法读懂社交信号、领会玩笑，也不会合作与分享。)”可知，作者列举了多种客观因素导致年轻人交友困难，认为这些困境的产生都有合理缘由。由此可知，作者认为年轻人交友困难是可以理解的。 9.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Many of those who struggle to make friends pretend to be more than they are, to be bigger, better, cleverer, cooler than they are, to be more confident than they feel. They maintain what Helene Deutsch calls an “as if” personality, or what Winnicott calls a “false self”.(很多交友困难的人会刻意伪装出更优秀的样子：装作更强大、更优秀、更聪明、更酷，表现得比实际感受更自信。他们维持着海伦·多伊奇所说的‘仿佛式’人格，或是温尼科特所称的‘虚假自我’。)”可知，刻意伪装自我是年轻人交友受阻的核心原因之一；由此可推知，做真实的自己对建立友谊至关重要。 10.词句猜测题。根据第三段画线词“this”前面的“The problem is that now the “pretend” young person doesn’t seem to fit together.(问题在于，如今这个‘伪装出来的’年轻人看起来人格前后割裂、无法整合。)”可知，其他年轻人能察觉到这种人格割裂的状态，并因此感到不安。由此推知，画线词指代“整合不佳的虚假自我”。 11.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In particular, “pretend” young people struggling to make friends often seem to be struggling with anger: with their own and with other people’s. They act sad and passive when they’re clearly full of anger, or they act angry when they’re obviously sad and frightened. They draw back from the anger of other young people or they try desperately to control it.(尤其值得注意的是，交友困难的‘伪装型’年轻人往往在愤怒情绪上存在困扰：既难以处理自己的愤怒，也无法应对他人的愤怒。他们明明满心愤怒却表现得悲伤被动，或是明明难过恐惧却装作怒气冲冲。他们会回避他人的愤怒，或是拼命想要控制住这种情绪。)”可知，本段点明了这类青少年在愤怒情绪表达与管理上的突出问题；由此可推知，文章接下来最有可能围绕青少年如何恰当处理自身愤怒情绪展开讨论。 【五、广东广州市实验外语学校2026-2027学年高三上学期9月阶段检测试题】 Summer comes, and mosquitoes constantly buzz and bite, leaving red marks and ruining our sleep. To fight them, DEET (避蚊胺) is assumed to be the gold standard for preventing mosquito bites. Most researchers agree that a key part of its effectiveness is unpleasantness — the bugs just hate to be around it. However, some mosquitoes seem capable of overcoming their revulsion, leading to the theory that the insects might be getting used to the chemical. Claudio Lazzari at the University of Tours set out to investigate, by running a version of the experiments made famous by Ivan Pavlov in the late 1800s where dogs were conditioned to associate sounds with food. In those experiments, Pavlov routinely rang a signal bell and then immediately fed the dogs. Eventually, when he made the sounds but didn’t provide food, he found the animals still salivated (流口水), as they would before a meal. In his experiments, Dr Lazzari presented hungry mosquitoes with warm sheep’s blood while being exposed to a gentle breeze of ordinary air or of air blown past a piece of paper soaked in DEET. After many similar repeated experiments, the researchers then bravely presented their own hands to the insects. One hand was covered in DEET while the other was left untreated. To their frustration they watched as 60% of the mosquitoes that had been presented with blood while being exposed to DEET bit the hand coated in DEET. In contrast, all mosquitoes trained with ordinary air avoided it entirely. Dr Lazzari’s conditioning in the laboratory was important for the mosquitoes in developing their fondness for DEET. But the chances are good that a similar scene is taking place in the real world, where the effects of DEET typically weaken over time, especially when people are sweating or not applying enough of the stuff in the first place. In such circumstances, hungry mosquitoes are most likely to be able to tolerate the faint smell of DEET, bite a lightly protected person, begin connecting the smell with food and become more dangerous to those they encounter later in their lives. 8．What does the underlined word “revulsion” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Dislike. B．Fondness. C．Desire. D．Curiosity. 9．Why was Pavlov’s experiment mentioned? A．To prove DEET’s effect. B．To explain conditioning. C．To honor early biologists. D．To analyze animal behavior. 10．What can we learn about the research from paragraph 4? A．Sheep’s blood drove mosquitoes away. B．All mosquitoes weren’t thirsty for blood. C．Ordinary air fueled mosquitoes’ appetite. D．Most mosquitoes were conditioned to DEET. 11．Why does DEET sometimes fail to keep mosquitoes away? A．Sweat clears DEET completely. B．Mosquitoes associate it with food. C．Its smell grows stronger over time. D．Human blood weakens the chemical. 【答案】8．A 9．B 10．D 11．B 【导语】本文围绕驱蚊产品避蚊胺（DEET）展开，借助巴甫洛夫条件反射对照专项科研，揭示部分蚊子可产生适应性、耐受避蚊胺气味，将驱蚊胺气味和食物建立关联，最终削弱避蚊胺驱蚊效力的科学原理，解释现实场景里避蚊胺驱蚊效果下降的成因。 【详解】 8．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Most researchers agree that a key part of its effectiveness is unpleasantness — the bugs just hate to be around it. However, some mosquitoes seem capable of overcoming their revulsion, leading to the theory that the insects might be getting used to the chemical.(大多数研究人员都认为，其有效的关键在于它的令人不愉快——虫子只是讨厌待在它周围。然而，一些蚊子似乎能够克服它们的revulsion，这导致了昆虫可能正在逐渐习惯这种化学物质)”可知，蚊子原本讨厌避蚊胺，后来克服的是这种厌恶感，故revulsion意为“厌恶，反感”，与Dislike意思最接近。 9．推理判断题。根据第三段“Claudio Lazzari at the University of Tours set out to investigate, by running a version of the experiments made famous by Ivan Pavlov in the late 1800s where dogs were conditioned to associate sounds with food. (图尔大学的Claudio Lazzari着手进行研究，他进行了伊万·巴甫洛夫在19世纪末著名的实验的一个版本，在该实验中，狗被训练成将声音与食物联系起来)”以及第四段“After many similar repeated experiments, the researchers then bravely presented their own hands to the insects.(经过许多次类似的重复实验后，研究人员勇敢地将自己的手伸给这些昆虫)”可知，文章提到巴甫洛夫的实验是为了解释条件反射这一原理，并说明Lazzari是如何借鉴该原理来设计蚊子实验的。 10．细节理解题。根据第四段“To their frustration they watched as 60% of the mosquitoes that had been presented with blood while being exposed to DEET bit the hand coated in DEET. In contrast, all mosquitoes trained with ordinary air avoided it entirely. (令他们沮丧的是，他们看到，在接触避蚊胺的同时被提供血液的蚊子中有60%叮咬了涂有避蚊胺的手。相比之下，所有用普通空气训练的蚊子都完全避开了它)”可知，经过反复将避蚊胺气味与血液（食物）配对后，大部分蚊子被训练得不再排斥避蚊胺，即大多数蚊子对避蚊胺形成了条件反射。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In such circumstances, hungry mosquitoes are most likely to be able to tolerate the faint smell of DEET, bite a lightly protected person, begin connecting the smell with food and become more dangerous to those they encounter later in their lives. (在这种情况下，饥饿的蚊子很可能能够忍受避蚊胺微弱的气味，叮咬防护薄弱的人，开始将这种气味与食物联系起来，并对它们以后遇到的其他人变得更加危险)”可知，避蚊胺失效的原因是蚊子将它的气味与食物建立了联系，从而克服了厌恶。 【六、广东江门市新会第一中学2026-2027学年高三学情诊断试题】 You’ve most likely heard the news by now: A car-commuting, desk-bound, TV-watching lifestyle can be harmful to our health. All the time that we spend rooted in the chair is linked to increased risks of so many deadly diseases that experts have named this modern-day health epidemic the “sitting disease”. Sitting for too long slows down the body’s metabolism(新陈代谢)and the way enzymes break down our fat reserves, raising both blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Small amounts of regular activity, even just standing and moving around, throughout the day is enough to bring the increased levels back down. And those small amounts of activity add up — 30 minutes of light activity in two or three-minute bursts can be just as effective as a half-hour block of exercise. But without that activity, blood sugar levels and blood pressure keep creeping up, steadily damaging the inside of the arteries (动脉) and increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and other serious diseases. In essence, fundamental changes in biology occur if you sit for too long. But wait, you’re a runner. You needn’t worry about the harm of a sedentary lifestyle because you exercise regularly, right? Well, not so fast. Recent studies show that people spend an average of 64 hours a week sitting, whether or not they exercise 150 minutes a week as recommended by World Health Organization(WHO). Regular exercisers, furthermore, are found to be about 30 percent less active on days when they exercise. Overall, most people simply aren’t exercising or moving around enough to balance out all the harm that can result from sitting nine hours or more a day. Scared straight out of your chair? Good. The remedy is as simple as standing up and taking activity breaks. 8．Which is the best way to bring down high blood sugar level and blood pressure? A．Doing exercise for 150 minutes or more every week. B．Getting rid of the habit of car commuting and TV watching. C．Standing or moving around for at least two minutes every day. D．Interrupting sitting time with light activity as often as possible. 9．What does the word “sedentary” in the third paragraph most likely mean? A．Inactive. B．Risky. C．Overloaded. D．Unbalanced. 10．Which of the following may be inferred about those who do serious exercise? A．They always meet the exercise standard recommended by WHO. B．They tend to stand or move less on the days when they work out. C．They usually remove all the harmful effects of sitting for too long. D．They generally spend less time sitting than those who do not exercise. 11．What is the passage mainly, about? A．The challenges of the modern lifestyle. B．The effect of regular activity on our body. C．The reasons for the spread of a modern epidemic. D．The threat to our health from long hours of sitting. 【答案】8．D 9．A 10．B 11．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了久坐对我们健康的威胁。 【详解】 8．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Sitting for too long slows down the body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) and the way enzymes break down our fat reserves, raising both blood sugar levels and blood pressure. Small amounts of regular activity, even just standing and moving around, throughout the day is enough to bring the increased levels back down. (久坐会减缓身体的新陈代谢和酶分解脂肪储备的方式，提高血糖水平和血压。少量的有规律的活动，即使只是站着走动，也足以将增加的水平降下来)”可知，降低高血糖和高血压的最好方法是尽可能多地用轻松的活动来打断坐着的时间。故选D项。 9．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But wait, you’re a runner. You needn’t worry about the harm of a sedentary lifestyle because you exercise regularly, right? (但是等等，你是一个跑步者。你就不必担心sedentary生活方式的危害，因为你经常锻炼，对吗?)”可知，sedentary lifestyle与exercise regularly是两种不同的生活方式，结合本文主题和选项可知，划线词sedentary的意思是“不活跃的”，与inactive同义。故选A项。 10．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Regular exercisers, furthermore, are found to be about 30 percent less active on days when they exercise. (此外，研究发现，经常锻炼的人在锻炼时的活跃程度要低30%左右)”可知，认真锻炼的人在锻炼的日子里往往站立或活动得更少。故选B项。 11．主旨大意题。根据第一段“You’ve most likely heard the news by now: A car-commuting, desk-bound, TV-watching lifestyle can be harmful to our health. All the time that we spend rooted in the chair is linked to increased risks of so many deadly diseases that experts have named this modern-day health epidemic the “sitting disease”. (你很可能已经听说过这样的新闻：开车上下班、坐在办公桌前、看电视的生活方式对我们的健康有害。我们长时间坐在椅子上，与许多致命疾病的患病风险增加有关，以至于专家将这种现代健康流行病称为“久坐病”)”可知，这篇文章主要介绍了久坐对我们健康的威胁。故选D项。 【七、广东汕头市第一中学2026-2027学年高三上学期9月阶段检测试题】 At a restaurant in Florence, a group gathers to discuss Sarah Winman’s Still Life. On the walls hang the photos of the destructive 1966 Arno flood that planted the seed of her story. Participants, once strangers, form a literary circle. This is a new type of holiday centering on reading rather than typical leisure (休闲). Lyn Margerison, one of the participants, was first drawn to an online advertisement of the Books in Places project and has since travelled from Dorset to Florence, Budapest and beyond. It showed one of my very favourite books arranged on a table with a glass of wine, set against a square in Florence. The caption (说明文字) asked: ‘Do you enjoy reading books in the places in which they are set?’” she recalls. Books in Places was founded by Paul Wright in 2023. Now he organizes short breaks in the UK and longer journeys to many countries, where people read in the very places stories are set. “Location is at the heart of everything,” says Wright. “Exploring the streets, landscapes and atmosphere of the setting (背景) provides a deep understanding of the story. A scene that was once just words on a page suddenly comes alive when you’ve walked the same alleys, tasted the same food or felt the same light as the characters.” This isn’t just niche travel. A 2025 survey reveals that many UK travellers pick destinations for reading, among which Millennials (千禧一代) rise to 60%. Meanwhile, it’s estimated that literary tourism may hit $3.3 bn by 2034. Readers no longer just read by the pool but want reading to open new views of the world: sailing the Nile with Death on the Nile, walking St. Malo while talking about All the Light We Cannot See, and following fossil-hunting paths in Lyme Regis from Remarkable Creatures. As the author Jeanette Winterson once said, “Books are like doors; when one opens, a new world waits.” Reading holidays are literal steps through those doors, into new worlds of friendship, curiosity and shared discovery. 8．Why did Margerison travel to multiple places ? A．To visit her friends living abroad. B．To collect materials for her writing. C．To experience the settings of her favorite books. D．To attend professional book discussions. 9．According to Wright, what do participants gain from Books in Places? A．A real connection to literary worlds. B．A chance to meet famous writers. C．A stronger bond with local people. D．A better sense of European cultures. 10．What does the underlined word “niche” probably mean in paragraph 5? A．Common in daily life. B．Centered on famous sites. C．Available in many countries. D．Limited to specific groups. 11．Which of the following could be a suitable title for the text ? A．Book Clubs: A New Way of Socializing. B．Literary Travel: Stepping into the Story. C．Classic Novels: A Door to Modern Cities. D．Historic Sites: The Power of Ancient Light. 【答案】8．C 9．A 10．D 11．B 【导语】主要介绍“书中之地”文学旅行项目，游客前往小说故事发生地品读作品，该文旅形式受众广泛、市场规模可观，能让读者沉浸式感受文学世界。 【详解】 8．细节理解题。根据第二段中的““It showed one of my very favourite books arranged on a table with a glass of wine, set against a square in Florence.

(探访书中故事发生地的街巷、风光与风土气息，能让人深刻读懂故事。当你走过书中人物走过的小巷、品尝过同款美食、感受过一样的光影，曾经只停留在纸面上的场景便瞬间鲜活起来。)”以及尾段中的“Reading holidays are literal steps through those doors, into new worlds of friendship, curiosity and shared discovery. (读书主题度假就是实实在在跨过那些文字之门，走进满是情谊、好奇与共同探索的全新天地。)”可知，全文围绕文学旅行、亲身走进书中故事场景展开，“Literary Travel: Stepping into the Story (文学旅行：走进故事之中)”概括了文章的主题，适合作为文章标题。 【八、广东深圳市罗湖区多校联考2026-2027学年第一学期学业质量检测高三试题】 Today, it seems normal for children to play in playgrounds with adults watching over them. But a little over a century ago, childhood in America looked very different: children wandered the streets and fields freely, making up their own rules and settling their own conflicts with little adult involvement. As industrialization and city growth sped up, however, the safety of children in crowded cities became a growing concern. The “playground movement” came into being. In 1885, Boston introduced the first “sand gardens” — special areas where children could play under adult watch. The idea spread quickly. By 1903, when New York City opened its first public playground, more than 2,000 children showed up on opening day. Supporters held a core belief: “The playground of today is the republic(共和国) of tomorrow.” To them, with adults watching over and clear rules to follow, these spaces were more than just safe places; they were where children learned the discipline and cooperation that would serve them well as members of society. Yet the movement carried a less visible cost. The playground drew a clear line on the map. Inside was safe, protected childhood; outside was danger and the disorderly adult world. The playground kept them safe, but it also separated them from the wider social world. Once drawn, that line has never disappeared. Sociologists point out a central puzzle of modern childhood: we work harder than ever to protect children, yet we may be reducing the space they need to grow. As child development expert Lenore Skenazy puts it, it is through independent activity that children learn to assess risk, handle disagreements, and face troubles by themselves. As the boundaries of childhood grow tighter, we might ask: in protecting children from the unknown, are we also keeping them from growing up? Safety matters, but so does the chance to grow in the real world. The task, perhaps, is not to erase the line, but to learn where to draw it. 8．Which of the following best describes the childhood in America a century ago? A．Risky and violent. B．Carefree and unhurried. C．Wild but self-governing. D．Well-guided but restricted. 9．How did supporters view the playground movement? A．It keeps the republic united. B．It eases the burden of parents. C．It enriches children’s spare time. D．It helps develop children’s citizenship. 10．What can be inferred from Lenore Skenazy’s words? A．Free-range children are neglected children. B．Overprotected kids are underprepared kids. C．A safe environment makes a happy childhood. D．A child’s growth comes from a parent’s presence. 11．What is the best title for the text? A．The Great Revolution B．The Fenced-in Childhood C．The Cost of Independent Play D．The Rise of Public Playgrounds 【答案】8．C 9．D 10．B 11．B 【导语】文章主要介绍了美国游乐场运动的起源与利弊。 【详解】 8．推理判断题。根据第一段“But a little over a century ago, childhood in America looked very different: children wandered the streets and fields freely, making up their own rules and settling their own conflicts with little adult involvement.(但一个多世纪以前，美国的童年截然不同：孩子们自由地在街巷与田野间游荡，自己制定规则，在几乎没有成人介入的情况下自行解决矛盾。)”可知，无拘无束但可以自我管理最能描述一个世纪以前美国儿童的童年。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段“Supporters held a core belief: “The playground of today is the republic (共和国)of tomorrow.” To them, with adults watching over and clear rules to follow, these spaces were more than just safe places; they were where children learned the discipline and cooperation that would serve them well as members of society.(支持者秉持一个核心理念：“今日的游乐场，就是明日的共和国。”在他们看来，有成年人看护、有清晰的规则需要遵守，这些场地不只是安全的场所；在这里，孩子们学会自律与合作，而这些素养将帮助他们成长为合格的社会成员。)”可知，支持者认为游乐场运动有助于培养孩子的公民素养。 10．推理判断题。根据最后一段“As child development expert Lenore Skenazy puts it, it is through independent activity that children learn to assess risk, handle disagreements, and face troubles by themselves.(正如儿童发展专家勒诺・斯科纳兹所说：正是通过独立活动，孩子们才能学会评估风险、处理分歧，并且独自面对困难。)”可知，从Lenore Skenazy的话可以推断出被过度保护的孩子没有做好应对现实的准备。 11．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了游乐场划出边界，把孩子圈在安全范围，隔离真实社会，现代童年被保护的“围栏”限制，缺少独立成长空间。B项“The Fenced-in Childhood (被围栏困住的童年)”是合适的标题。 【九、广东深圳市盐田高级中学等校2026-2027学年高三上学期9月阶段检测试题】 It’s estimated that more than 1 in 5 American adults now use a wearable fitness tracker of some kind. But there are also questions about whether having access to all this information is actually making us fitter and whether there’s a danger of too much information being potentially harmful. As with most new technology, trackers have both good and bad sides. When used properly, they can indeed help people become more aware of their fitness. “Overall, I find them positive,” says researcher Seth Creasy. If you’re aiming to walk at least 10,000 steps a day and see you’ve walked only 8,000 steps, it may inspire you to walk 2,000 more. Many people also use doctor-recommended wearables to help manage long-term health issues. While there are undeniably many benefits to using wellness devices, studies have pointed to potential downsides as well. The first issue has to do with accuracy. “The trackers can be accurate for certain measurements like steps and heart rate,” says Creasy. “However, they aren’t always able to measure these things accurately all the time.” Creasy says he has seen numerous occasions where the data says one thing but the person tells another story. Another problem is how people understand and use the data. “Information viewed alone doesn’t provide the complete picture,” says Jessica Matthews. “What’s important is that one piece of information be used as part of a greater whole.” With medical devices, experts recommend that people discuss the data with a health professional. Perhaps the biggest potential problem is how they can affect those who are easily influenced. Experts explain there’s a tendency for some people to obsess over the information their tracker provides and to become overly reliant on it. And for perfectionists, failing to meet their fitness or sleep goals can cause feelings of stress. While trackers can deliver an impressive amount of information, more is not necessarily better for everyone. 8．What does Creasy think of trackers according to paragraph 2? A．They are durable. B．They provide cures. C．They monitor exercise effects. D．They motivate workouts. 9．Why do experts suggest discussing tracker data with health workers? A．Trackers often give false readings. B．Data needs comprehensive analysis. C．Users can’t understand device numbers. D．Doctors can fix trackers’ accuracy problems. 10．What aspect does the last paragraph focus on regarding fitness trackers? A．Their potential clients. B．Their psychological effects. C．Their practical functions. D．Their future development. 11．What is the purpose of the text? A．To compare wearable devices. B．To promote fitness tracking devices. C．To explain trackers’ weaknesses. D．To discuss trackers’ benefits and risks. 【答案】8．D 9．B 10．B 11．D 【导语】文章围绕可穿戴健身追踪器展开，介绍了其益处，也指出了其潜在弊端，全面客观地讨论了健身追踪器的好处与风险。 【详解】 8．细节理解题。根据文章第二段““Overall, I find them positive,” says researcher Seth Creasy. If you’re aiming to walk at least 10,000 steps a day and see you’ve walked only 8,000 steps, it may inspire you to walk 2,000 more.(“总体而言，我觉得它们是积极的，”研究人员Seth Creasy说。如果你的目标是每天至少走1万步，而实际上只走了8000步，这可能会激励你再多走2000步)”可知，Creasy认为追踪器能激励人们进行锻炼。 9．细节理解题。根据文章第四段““Information viewed alone doesn’t provide the complete picture,” says Jessica Matthews. “What’s important is that one piece of information be used as part of a greater whole.” With medical devices, experts recommend that people discuss the data with a health professional.(“仅凭信息本身无法提供完整的图景，”杰西卡·马修斯说，“重要的是，要将某一项信息作为整体的一部分来使用。”对于医疗器械，专家建议人们应与医疗专业人员讨论相关数据)”可知，专家建议与健康工作者讨论数据，是因为单项数据需要放在整体中进行综合分析。 10．主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“Experts explain there’s a tendency for some people to obsess over the information their tracker provides and to become overly reliant on it. And for perfectionists, failing to meet their fitness or sleep goals can cause feelings of stress.(专家解释说，一些人倾向于沉迷于追踪器提供的信息并过度依赖它。而对于完美主义者来说，未能达到健身或睡眠目标会引发压力感)”可知，本段关注的是追踪器对使用者心理产生的影响。 11．推理判断题。通读全文，根据文章第一段“But there are also questions about whether having access to all this information is actually making us fitter and whether there’s a danger of too much information being potentially harmful.(但也有疑问：获取所有这些信息是否真的让我们更健康，以及信息过多是否可能存在潜在危害)”，结合第二、三段讲其益处、第四、五段讲其弊端可推知，本文的写作目的是客观讨论健身追踪器的好处与风险。 【十、广东五校2026-2027学年度第一学期第二次联考试题】 Next time you’re walking through a park on a hot day, take a moment to sit under a big old tree. You’ll find that the temperature is something like 2℃ cooler than if you were beneath an umbrella. Why? Because a mature tree releases a massive amount of water from its leaves, which cools the surrounding air, just like the way sweating cools our bodies down. So a single tree influences the microclimate around it — but what about an entire forest? That’s the question explored in The Power of Trees by German forester Peter Wohlleben. He writes about trees, ecosystems, roots and the many creatures who live in and among them in a fresh, lively way. He believes forests and trees make decisions about their survival, protect and look after their young. For readers, some of this language is familiar, and some may know that this style has been a source of derision (嘲笑) in the past. However, it’s this down-to-earth, conversational style that makes the book come to life and makes complex science accessible. He explains processes, such as the way trees access and use sugars at different times of the year, in simple, everyday terms. Wohlleben writes in a calm style, but he can’t hide his anger with the way people today — including many environmentalists — now “think of trees as little more than biological storage units for carbon dioxide either while they are alive or when they are dead”. This narrow perspective ignores the vast beneficial effects that forests generate for global temperature management. His claims and criticisms are backed by emerging science and new research, as well as practical observations of how the presence of forests changes the landscape nearby. This book is wise and thought-provoking. In his chapter highlighting the role of wolves as top predators (捕食者) in preserving the forest, Wohlleben writes: “We can come at protecting forests from whatever direction we want, but the results are always the same. We must put less pressure on nature by exploiting (开发) it less. We must strengthen forests by allowing them to take care of themselves.” 8. What does The Power of Trees explore? A. Temperature management. B. The loss of water in leaves. C. Formation of microclimates. D. The vital role that forests play. 9. Which can describe the language in the book? A. Complex. B. Fancy. C. Approachable. D. Professional. 10. How does Wohlleben deal with people’s narrow perspective on forests? A. He treats it lightly. B. He turns a deaf ear to it. C. He refers to it selectively. D. He argues against it convincingly. 11. What does Wohlleben suggest for protecting forests? A. Fighting climate change. B. Leaving them alone. C. Returning farmland to forest. D. Driving wolves away. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评，主要介绍了德国护林员Peter Wohlleben的著作《树木的力量》。书中探讨了森林对微气候的影响、树木的生存智慧以及人类对森林的狭隘认知，并以通俗易懂的语言阐释了复杂的科学原理。 【详解】 8.细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“That’s the question explored in The Power of Trees. He writes about trees, ecosystems, roots and the many creatures who live in and among them in a fresh, lively way. He believes forests and trees make decisions about their survival(《树木的力量》探讨了这一问题。他以新颖生动的笔触描写树木、生态系统、根系以及栖息其间的无数生物。他认为森林和树木会为自己的生存做决定)”可知，该书聚焦森林的核心作用。故选D。 9.细节理解题。根据第三段中“it’s this down-to-earth, conversational style that makes the book come to life(正是这种接地气的对话式风格让书生动起来)”和“in simple, everyday terms(用简单的日常用语)”可知语言风格平易近人。故选C。 10.推理判断题。根据第四段中“His claims and criticisms are backed by emerging science and new research, as well as practical observations of how the presence of forests changes the landscape nearby.(他的主张和批评得到了新兴科学研究和实地观察的支撑——这些研究证明了森林如何改变周边地貌。)”可推知，作者用科学论据有力反驳了狭隘观点。故选D。 11.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“We must strengthen forests by allowing them to take care of themselves(我们必须通过让森林自我管理来加强它们)”可知，作者主张减少人为干预。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
