题型一 阅读理解之推理判断---引申推断题
1.(2025·甘肃省陇南市西和县成名中学高三期末)In recent years, the landscape of education has been significantly transformed by the rise of online learning. As technology continues to advance, an increasing number of students are choosing online courses, leading to a heated debate about whether online learning can replace traditional offline learning.
Online learning offers several distinct advantages. Firstly, it provides remarkable flexibility. Students can access course materials and lectures at any time and from anywhere, as long as they have an internet connection. This is especially beneficial for those with busy schedules or those who live in remote areas. For example, a student who has a part - time job can study during their free time without having to worry about commuting to a physical classroom. Secondly, online learning platforms often offer a vast range of courses. Learners can choose from various subjects and levels, enabling them to customize their learning experience according to their interests and needs.
However, online learning also has its drawbacks. One of the main challenges is the lack of face - to - face interaction. Without direct communication with teachers and classmates, students may find it difficult to ask questions immediately and engage in in - depth discussions. Additionally, online learning requires a high level of self - discipline. In the absence of a physical classroom environment, some students may struggle to stay focused and motivated.
On the other hand, traditional offline learning has its own merits. In a classroom setting, students can have immediate feedback from teachers. Teachers can observe students’ reactions, understand their difficulties, and provide timely guidance. Moreover, the in - person interaction among classmates can foster a sense of community and teamwork. Group projects and class discussions in a physical classroom can enhance students’ communication skills and ability to work together.
Nevertheless, offline learning is not without limitations. It is restricted by time and space. Students need to attend classes at specific times and locations, which can be inconvenient. For instance, bad weather or transportation problems may prevent students from reaching the classroom on time.
In conclusion, both online learning and offline learning have their own advantages and disadvantages. Instead of seeing one as a complete replacement for the other, we should combine the two methods to create a more effective and comprehensive learning environment.
5.What is the main topic of the passage
A.The development of online learning. B.The comparison between online learning and offline learning.
C.The advantages of offline learning. D.The challenges of online learning.
6.Which of the following is an advantage of online learning
A.It provides immediate feedback from teachers.
B.It offers a sense of community and teamwork.
C.It is highly flexible in terms of time and place.
D.It is not affected by the internet connection.
7.What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Benefits. B.Disadvantages. C.Features. D.Improvements.
8.What can be inferred from the passage
A.Online learning will completely replace offline learning in the future.
B.Offline learning is always better than online learning.
C.We should make use of the strengths of both learning methods.
D.The limitations of offline learning can be easily overcome.

Instead of seeing one as a complete replacement for the other, we should combine the two methods to create a more effective and comprehensive learning environment. (综上所述,在线学习和离线学习都有各自的优点和缺点。我们不应该把一种方法完全取代另一种方法,而应该把这两种方法结合起来,创造一个更有效、更全面的学习环境。)”可知,文章主要话题是在线学习和线下学习的对比。故选B项。
6.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“it provides remarkable flexibility. Students can access course materials and lectures at any time and from anywhere, as long as they have an internet connection. (它提供了非凡的灵活性。学生可以在任何时间、任何地点访问课程材料和讲座,只要他们有互联网连接。)”可知,在线学习的优势是:在时间和地点上具有高度的灵活性。故C项。
7.词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Online learning offers several distinct advantages. (在线学习有几个明显的优势。)”可知,第二段讲述了在线学习的优点,接着在第三段开头用However进行转折,表明要阐述在线学习不好的方面。drawbacks所在句子后面提到了在线学习缺乏面对面互动、需要高度自律等问题,所以推测drawbacks意思是“缺点,劣势”。A 选项Benefits是 “好处”;C 选项Features是“特点”;B选项Disadvantages是“缺点、劣势”;D选项Improvements是“改进”。故选B项。
8.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Instead of seeing one as a complete replacement for the other, we should combine the two methods to create a more effective and comprehensive learning environment. (我们不应该把一种方法完全取代另一种方法,而应该把这两种方法结合起来,创造一个更有效、更全面的学习环境。)”可知,我们应该利用这两种学习方法的优点。故选C项。
2.(2025·辽宁省东北育才、辽宁省实验中学、大连24中学、大连八中、鞍山一中2024-2025学年高三上学期五校联考期末)For the perfect cup of tea, does one add milk to boiling water, or the opposite Neither, if new research in the journal Current Biology is to be believed. What must be prepared first, instead, are the microbes (微生物) .
Scientists are increasingly aware that the fungi and bacteria living around a plant's roots can significantly affect its growth by enhancing the absorption of critical nutrients like iron and nitrogen. This possibility of enhanced nitrogen absorption was particularly fascinating to tea experts Xin Wei and Tang Wenxin at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China because tea plants rely upon nitrogen-rich soil around their roots to produce theanine, an amino acid that generates their unique pleasant flavors. Dr. Xin and Dr. Tang found that theanine production varied widely, even among similar teas. Some highly valued oolong teas such as Rougui, produced a lot of the chemical, whereas others, such as Maoxie, produced less. This difference was particularly obvious in the autumn, when the roots were accumulating theanine.
This brought about a natural question. If the microbe community found around Rougui were transplanted to other tea plants, might this increase their theanine production and, in turn, improve their flavor To explore this, the researchers created a community of microbes made up of 21 bacterial varieties that resembled the community found around Rougui roots and applied them to the roots of Maoxie plants. They report this week that this nearly tripled the theanine accumulation in Maoxie leaves. While the time-consuming process of transforming leaves into drinkable tea has yet to be completed, the researchers have little doubt that there will be big differences.
Flavors aside, the Rougui microbe sample that Dr. Xin and Dr. Tang worked with has the potential to make a wider environmental impact. Most farmers, not just tea growers, add some form of nitrogen to their soil to enhance growth. While some of this is absorbed by plants, most runs off during heavy rains and ends up polluting natural water bodies. When the researchers applied their microbial cocktail to soil around the roots of cress (水芹) plants, which is the lab rat of the botanical world, they found that, just as with Maoxie, the newcomers enhanced nitrogen uptake. This suggests that these microbes have the potential to create new flavors while also reducing agricultural pollution. That should be everyone's cup of tea.
23.Which of the following directly determines the flavor of tea
A.Microbes. B.Theanine. C.Nitrogen. D.Fungi.
24.What was the primary goal of the experiment mentioned in Paragraph 3
A.To determine the effect of microbes on tea leaf color.
B.To increase the caffeine content in tea leaves.
C.To enhance theanine production in Maoxie tea plants.
D.To identify new varieties of tea-producing bacteria.
25.What can we infer about the future of tea production with the use of microbes
A.It is very likely to lead to a significant increase in tea production costs.
B.It has the potential to reduce water pollution caused by farming.
C.It will replace traditional methods of growing tea entirely.
D.Its benefits are limited to certain types of tea plants.
26.What is the best title for the passage
A.Tea Science: Microbes Functioning
B.Microbes’ Role: Enhancing Tea Production
C.Discovering New Microbe Varieties in Tea Plants
D.Rethinking the impact of Microbes on Environment
【答案】23.B 24.C 25.B 26.A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了《当代生物学》的新研究指出,要泡出完美的茶,首要准备的并非水与牛奶的添加顺序,而是微生物。科学家发现植物根部周围的真菌和细菌能通过增强铁、氮等关键营养物质的吸收,显著影响植物生长。中国福建农林大学的茶专家辛伟和唐文鑫关注到,茶树依赖根部富氮土壤产生茶氨酸,以形成独特风味,但不同茶树茶氨酸产量差异大,秋季尤为明显,如肉桂乌龙产量高,毛蟹产量低。
23.细节理解题。根据第二段中“This possibility of enhanced nitrogen absorption was particularly fascinating to tea experts Xin Wei and Tang Wenxin at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China because tea plants rely upon nitrogen-rich soil around their roots to produce theanine, an amino acid that generates their unique pleasant flavors. Dr. Xin and Dr. Tang found that theanine production varied widely, even among similar teas. (中国福建农林大学的茶叶专家辛伟和唐文鑫对这种增强氮吸收的可能性特别感兴趣,因为茶树依靠根部周围富含氮的土壤来产生茶氨酸,这种氨基酸能产生独特的宜人味道。辛博士和唐博士发现,即使在类似的茶中,茶氨酸的含量也存在很大差异。)”可知,茶氨酸直接决定了茶的味道。故选B项。
24.推理判断题。根据第三段中“If the microbe community found around Rougui were transplanted to other tea plants, might this increase their theanine production and, in turn, improve their flavor To explore this, the researchers created a community of microbes made up of 21 bacterial varieties that resembled the community found around Rougui roots and applied them to the roots of Maoxie plants. They report this week that this nearly tripled the theanine accumulation in Maoxie leaves. (如果将肉桂周围发现的微生物群落移植到其他茶树中,是否会增加它们的茶氨酸产量,进而改善它们的风味?为了探索这一点,研究人员创建了一个由21个细菌品种组成的微生物群落,这些细菌品种与肉桂根周围的细菌群落相似,并将它们应用于毛蟹植物的根部。他们本周报告说,这几乎使毛蟹叶中的茶氨酸积累增加了两倍。)”可推知,第三段提到的实验的主要目的是提高毛蟹茶树茶氨酸的产量。故选C项。
25.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While some of this is absorbed by plants, most runs off during heavy rains and ends up polluting natural water bodies. When the researchers applied their microbial cocktail to soil around the roots of cress (水芹) plants, which is the lab rat of the botanical world, they found that, just as with Maoxie, the newcomers enhanced nitrogen uptake. This suggests that these microbes have the potential to create new flavors while also reducing agricultural pollution. (虽然其中一些被植物吸收,但大部分在大雨中流失,最终污染了自然水体。当研究人员将他们的微生物混合物应用于植物界的小白鼠——袍草根部周围的土壤时,他们发现,与毛蟹叶一样,新来者提高了氮的吸收。这表明这些微生物有潜力创造新的风味,同时还能减少农业污染。)”可知,通过使用微生物,我们可以推断出茶叶生产的未来有可能减少农业造成的水污染。故选B项。
26.主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“For the perfect cup of tea, does one add milk to boiling water, or the opposite Neither, if new research in the journal Current Biology is to be believed. What must be prepared first, instead, are the microbes (微生物). ( 一杯完美的茶,是往开水里加牛奶,还是相反?如果《当代生物学》杂志上的一项新研究可信的话,这两者都不是。相反,首先必须准备的是微生物。)”可知,文章主要讲的是《当代生物学》的新研究指出,要泡出完美的茶,首要准备的并非水与牛奶的添加顺序,而是微生物。科学家发现植物根部周围的真菌和细菌能通过增强铁、氮等关键营养物质的吸收,显著影响植物生长。中国福建农林大学的茶专家辛伟和唐文鑫关注到,茶树依赖根部富氮土壤产生茶氨酸,以形成独特风味,但不同茶树茶氨酸产量差异大,秋季尤为明显,如肉桂乌龙产量高,毛蟹产量低。故这篇文章最好的标题是“茶科学:微生物的功能”。故选A项。
3.(2025·海南省三亚市高三期末)As students and scholars prepare a new academic year, the reliance on computers for note-taking and paper writing has never been greater. Younger students, encouraged or even required to bring laptops to class, have raised concerns among parents about distraction and reduced engagement. University professors complain a decline in classroom focus, with students often multitasking instead of actively listening.
Among these debates, a line of research shows the lasting benefits of handwriting — an “innovation” before computers. First, handwriting enhances memory. Putting words on paper with a pen or pencil creates muscle and sensory memories, and the arrangement of words on a page feed into visual memory: people might remember a word they wrote down in French class at the bottom-left on certain page, which enhances learning.
Another best-demonstrated advantages of handwriting seems to be in effective note-taking. In a study from 2014 by Pam Mueller and Danny Oppenheimer, students’ typing wrote down almost twice as many words exactly from lectures, suggesting they were not understanding so much as rapidly copying the material. Handwriting — which takes longer for nearly all university-level students — forces note-takers to synthesize (综合) and convey concepts in their own words, thus strengthening learning.
Policymakers have also taken note of handwriting’s benefits. Half of the states in the USA, have responded to research advocating for continued handwriting instruction. Sweden advocates for more handwriting and fewer electronic devices, while England authorizes cursive instruction by age seven.
Dr. Virginia Berninger, a psychology professor at the University of Washington, is a longtime advocate of handwriting while acknowledging its integration with digital literacy. She highlights research-backed benefits across different writing styles — from manuscript to cursive — and even typing, which aids in composing coherent passages quickly. Advocating occasional “tuning up” of handwriting skills throughout schooling and possibly into adulthood, Berninger maintains that a balanced approach to writing methods ensures students’ academic and cognitive development.
27.What’s the possible result of younger students using laptops in class
A.Increased engagement. B.Enhanced learning.
C.Declined memory. D.Weakened attention.
28.What does the underlined words “feed into” probably mean in Paragraph 2
A.Enhance. B.Conclude. C.Switch. D.Influence.
29.Which of the following does Berninger agree to do
A.Replace handwriting with digital skills.
B.Prioritize digital skills over handwriting.
C.Balance handwriting with digital literacy.
D.Teach handwriting only in early education.
30.What does the text mainly focus on
A.Handwriting vs. typing in education.
B.The decline of handwriting in schools.
C.The benefits of handwriting in learning.
D.Technology’s impact on student engagement.
【答案】27.D 28.A 29.C 30.C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了随着学生和学者对新学年的准备,对电脑在记笔记和写论文方面的依赖越来越大,但一系列研究表明手写具有持久的好处,如增强记忆、有效记笔记等。
27.推理判断题。根据第一段“Younger students, encouraged or even required to bring laptops to class, have raised concerns among parents about distraction and reduced engagement. University professors complain a decline in classroom focus, with students often multitasking instead of actively listening.(鼓励甚至要求年轻学生带笔记本电脑上课,这引起了家长们的担忧,他们担心这会分散注意力,降低参与度。大学教授们抱怨说,课堂上的注意力下降了,学生们经常同时处理多项任务,而不是积极听讲。)”可知,年轻学生在课堂上使用笔记本电脑可能带来的结果是注意力减弱。故选D。
28.词句猜测题。根据下文“people might remember a word they wrote down in French class at the bottom-left on certain page, which enhances learning.(人们可能会记住他们在法语课上写在某一页左下角的单词,这会增强学习效果。)”可知,用笔或铅笔把单词写在纸上会创造肌肉和感觉记忆,页面上单词的排列有助于增强视觉记忆,由此可知,“feed into”的意思是“增强”。故选A。
29.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. Virginia Berninger, a psychology professor at the University of Washington, is a longtime advocate of handwriting while acknowledging its integration with digital literacy…Berninger maintains that a balanced approach to writing methods ensures students’ academic and cognitive development.(华盛顿大学心理学教授弗吉尼亚 伯宁格博士长期以来一直倡导手写,同时承认手写与数字素养的结合……伯宁格认为,采用平衡的写作方法可以确保学生的学业和认知发展。)”可知,伯宁格同意平衡手写和数字素养。故选C。
30.主旨大意题。文章第一段提到学生和学者对电脑在记笔记和写论文方面的依赖越来越大,年轻学生在课堂上使用笔记本电脑可能带来注意力减弱的结果,第二段提到一系列研究表明手写具有持久的好处,如增强记忆,第三段提到手写另一个最明显的优势在于有效记笔记,第四段提到政策制定者也注意到了手写的好处,最后一段讲华盛顿大学的心理学教授弗吉尼亚 伯宁格博士长期倡导手写,同时承认手写与数字素养的结合,由此可知,本文主要关注的是手写对学习的好处。故选C。
4.(2025·湖南省长沙市雅礼中学高三测试)An ambitious plan to genetically engineer a version of the woolly mammoth (长毛猛犸象), a giant that disappeared 4,000 years ago, is making some progress. A new biosciences and genetics company, Colosal, has raised $15 million to create a mammoth hybeid that looks exactly like its extinct counterpart. The goal isn’t to clone a mammoth, but to create, through genetic engineering, a living, walking elephant-mammoth hybeid.
The scientists revealed they had reprogrammed cells from an Asian elephant, the woolly mammoth’s closest living relative. These changed cells can grow into any kind of elephant cell. The research team has analyzed the than 50 changes to the genetic code of the Asian elephant to give it the characteristics it needs to survive and thrive in the Arctic. These characteristics include a 10-centimeter layer of insulating (绝缘的) fat, five different kinds of hair including some that is up to a meter long, and smaller ears that will help the hybrid tolerate the cold.
Colossal believes that bringing the woolly mammoth back to life could possibly help restore the fragile Arctic tundra (冻原) ecosystem, which is at risk as the world warms. The company has claimed that mammoths, if they should return to their natural habitat in the Arctic in sufficient numbers, would help slow down frozen soil melting. Some scientists believe that, before their extinction, animals such as mammoths and horses kept the earth frozen underneath by walking on the grass, knocking down trees and pressing snow tight. One small study in Siberia published in 2021 suggested that the presence of large mammals such as horses and reindeer resulted in lower soil temperatures in the protected area where they were kept compared with land outside that area.
Colossal also announced plans to being some other animals back to life such as the Tasmanian tiger in 2023 and the dodo in 2024, but its work on the mammoth has been going on longest.
39.What does the underlined word “counterpart” in the first paragraph refer to
A.Endangered animal. B.Fellow species.
C.Cloned elephant. D.Extracted cell.
40.What can we learn about the hybrid
A.It is visually similar to the Asian elephant.
B.It can grow into any types of elephant cell.
C.Thick fat and smaller ears help it endure the severe weather.
D.Long hair like a woolly coat keeps it from the cold and attacks.
41.Why does the author mention the study in Siberia in Paragraph 3
A.To illustrate the possibility of reintroducing mammoths to their natural habitats.
B.To compare different kinds of nature reserves where large mammals were kept.
C.To indicate the link between the extinction of large mammals and climate change.
D.To show the potential impact of returning mammoths to the Arctic on the ecosystem.
42.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.The project on bringing back the mammoth costs the most.
B.The Tasmania tiger and the dodo are also long-dead animals.
C.Colossal needs increased investment to advance the projects.
D.Colossal is completely confident in its technology and scientists.
【答案】39.B 40.C 41.D 42.B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一家生物科技公司成功创造了猛犸象近亲亚洲象的干细胞,为复活猛犸象迈出重要一步,引发环保和科学界的讨论。
39.词句猜测题。根据第一段中“A new biosciences and genetics company, Colosal, has raised $15 million to create a mammoth hybeid that looks exactly like its extinct counterpart. The goal isn’t to clone a mammoth, but to create, through genetic engineering, a living, walking elephant-mammoth hybeid. (一家名为Colosal的新型生物科学和遗传学公司已筹集到1500万美元,用于创造一种看起来与其灭绝的counterpart一模一样的猛犸象杂交品种。目标不是克隆猛犸象,而是通过基因工程创造一种活生生的、行走的大象-猛犸象杂交品种)”可知,此处指灭绝的猛犸象,counterpart意为“相对应的人或物”,所以此处指与现在的杂交品种相对应的物种,即“灭绝的猛犸象”,相当于“同类物种”。A. Endangered animal濒危动物;B. Fellow species同类生物;C. Cloned elephant克隆大象;D Extracted cell提取的细胞。故选B。
40.细节理解题。根据第二段中“These changed cells can grow into any kind of elephant cell. The research team has analyzed the than 50 changes to the genetic code of the Asian elephant to give it the characteristics it needs to survive and thrive in the Arctic. These characteristics include a 10-centimeter layer of insulating (绝缘的) fat, five different kinds of hair including some that is up to a meter long, and smaller ears that will help the hybrid tolerate the cold. (这些改变的细胞可以生长成任何种类的大象细胞。研究小组分析了亚洲象基因组的50多处变化,使其具有在北极生存和繁衍所需的特征。这些特征包括一层10厘米厚的绝缘脂肪、五种不同的毛发 (其中一些长达一米) 以及较小的耳朵,这将帮助杂交品种抵御寒冷)”可知,杂交品种有10厘米厚的绝缘脂肪和较小的耳朵,这些可以帮助杂交品种忍受恶劣的天气。故选C。
41.推理判断题。根据第三段中“One small study in Siberia published in 2021 suggested that the presence of large mammals such as horses and reindeer resulted in lower soil temperatures in the protected area where they were kept compared with land outside that area. (2021年在西伯利亚进行的一项小型研究表明,在保护区内饲养的马和驯鹿等大型哺乳动物的存在,使得该区域的土壤温度比保护区外的土地更低)”可知,提到这项研究是为了说明猛犸象回归北极可能对生态系统产生的潜在影响,例如降低土壤温度、保护冻土层等。故选D。
42.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Colossal also announced plans to bring some other animals back to life such as the Tasmanian tiger in 2023 and the dodo in 2024, but its work on the mammoth has been going on longest. (Colossal公司还宣布计划于2023年复活塔斯马尼亚虎,于2024年复活渡渡鸟,不过其关于猛犸象的研究开展得最早)”可推知,塔斯马尼亚虎和渡渡鸟也是早已灭绝的动物。故选B。
题型二 阅读理解之推理判断---写作目的和意图题
1.(2025·广东省深圳市龙岗区高三期末质量监测)Frightening as monsters are, they have always fascinated us. From strange combinations of animals to magical beings, creatures have emerged from our imaginations throughout history. Today, they still frequent our cinema screens. Considering how scared we can be of monsters, it seems paradoxical that we keep making them. In fact, there is science behind our love of monsters.
Monsters are imaginary creatures that come from our long history of living alongside predators (捕食者). Snakes, for example, were among our ancestors’ first deadly threats, causing them to evolve snake-responsive neurons (神经元) in their brains. This adaptation allowed them to detect snakes with just a quick look. This hardware produced the snake-like monsters, including dragons, that appear in almost all cultures. That is why we get a thrill seeing snake monsters on the screen.
Similarly, our ancestors’ minds were shaped by the need to detect bears, lions and other larger predators in tough environments. We evolved to spot predators in the dark between tree trunks or in shadowy corners. With their long teeth and giant claws, these animals have seized our imaginations, appearing in cave paintings over thousands of years.
There are psychological benefits to being frightened by monsters. Scary stories with terrifying creatures activate the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, kicking off the fight-or-flight response and releasing adrenaline (肾上腺素). With the story ending in safety, adrenaline levels drop, bringing chemicals that fuel the feeling of relaxation. Such controlled fear experience might help us to manage long-term stress or increase our pain tolerance. As a result, some people with anxiety enjoy watching horror films before bed.
The monsters we create today for films and books reflect our deepest fears — whether it’s Godzilla threatening civilisation, or aliens growing within us. Monster media allows us to externalise anxieties into supernatural beings. By understanding our monsters and why we make them, we can learn a great deal about what is going on under the surface of our minds.
1.What does the underlined word “paradoxical” mean in paragraph 1
A.Reasonable. B.Predictable. C.Contradictory. D.Problematic.
2.What is the purpose of paragraphs 2 and 3
A.To honour the wisdom of our ancestors. B.To demonstrate the origin of monsters.
C.To compare different deadly creatures. D.To introduce common animals in artworks.
3.How does watching horror films benefit people with anxiety
A.It reduces the brain’s sensitivity to fear. B.It helps people forget anxious experiences.
C.It teaches safety lessons in extreme danger. D.It stimulates the body’s relaxation system.
4.What is the author’s attitude towards our love of monsters
A.Favourable. B.Uncertain. C.Ambiguous. D.Skeptical.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.D 4.A
【解析】本文是说明文。文章主要解释了人类为何对怪物既感到害怕又被其吸引的现象,从人类历史、心理机制等方面进行了阐述,说明了怪物在人类文化和心理中的重要作用。
1.词句猜测题。根据前文“Considering how scared we can be of monsters(考虑到我们对怪物有多害怕)”以及后文“we keep making them(我们一直制造怪物)”可知,我们害怕怪物,但是又一直在制造怪物,看起来是矛盾的,推知paradoxical为“矛盾的”之意,和C项意思相近。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段“Monsters are imaginary creatures that come from our long history of living alongside predators (捕食者). Snakes, for example, were among our ancestors’ first deadly threats, causing them to evolve snake-responsive neurons (神经元) in their brains. This adaptation allowed them to detect snakes with just a quick look. This hardware produced the snake-like monsters, including dragons, that appear in almost all cultures. That is why we get a thrill seeing snake monsters on the screen.(怪物是我们与食肉动物长期共存的历史中想象出来的生物。例如,蛇是我们祖先最早的致命威胁之一,导致他们在大脑中进化出对蛇敏感的神经元。这种适应使它们只需快速看一眼就能发现蛇。这种硬件产生了像蛇一样的怪物,包括龙,几乎在所有文化中都出现过。这就是为什么我们在屏幕上看到蛇怪会感到兴奋)”以及第三段“Similarly, our ancestors’ minds were shaped by the need to detect bears, lions and other larger predators in tough environments. We evolved to spot predators in the dark between tree trunks or in shadowy corners. With their long teeth and giant claws, these animals have seized our imaginations, appearing in cave paintings over thousands of years.(同样,我们祖先的思维也被在恶劣环境中发现熊、狮子和其他大型捕食者的需要所塑造。我们进化到能够在黑暗的树干间或阴暗的角落里发现捕食者。这些动物有着长长的牙齿和巨大的爪子,它们在几千年前的洞穴壁画中出现,抓住了我们的想象力)”可知,这两段从蛇和大型捕食者的角度解释了怪物的起源,指出它们是基于我们祖先与捕食者共存的历史经验演化得来,目的是说明怪物的起源。故选B项。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“There are psychological benefits to being frightened by monsters. Scary stories with terrifying creatures activate the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, kicking off the fight-or-flight response and releasing adrenaline (肾上腺素). With the story ending in safety, adrenaline levels drop, bringing chemicals that fuel the feeling of relaxation. Such controlled fear experience might help us to manage long-term stress or increase our pain tolerance. As a result, some people with anxiety enjoy watching horror films before bed.(被怪物吓到有心理上的好处。关于恐怖生物的恐怖故事会激活杏仁核,即大脑的恐惧中心,引发“战或逃”反应,并释放肾上腺素。随着故事在安全的情况下结束,肾上腺素水平下降,产生了促进放松感的化学物质。这种可控的恐惧体验可能有助于我们管理长期压力或提高我们的疼痛耐受力。因此,一些焦虑的人喜欢在睡觉前看恐怖电影)”可知,观看恐怖电影可以刺激肾上腺素分泌,最终通过化学机制让人感到放松,因此恐怖电影帮助激活身体的放松系统。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Such controlled fear experience might help us to manage long-term stress or increase our pain tolerance.(这种可控的恐惧体验可能有助于我们管理长期压力或提高我们的疼痛耐受力)”以及最后一段“The monsters we create today for films and books reflect our deepest fears — whether it’s Godzilla threatening civilisation, or aliens growing within us. Monster media allows us to externalise anxieties into supernatural beings. By understanding our monsters and why we make them, we can learn a great deal about what is going on under the surface of our minds.(我们今天为电影和书籍创造的怪物反映了我们最深的恐惧——无论是威胁文明的哥斯拉,还是在我们体内生长的外星人。怪物媒体让我们把焦虑外化到超自然生物身上。通过了解我们的怪物以及我们为什么制造它们,我们可以学到很多关于我们思想表面下发生的事情)”可知,作者认为对怪物的喜爱能有助于我们管理长期压力或提高我们的疼痛耐受力,以及学到很多关于我们思想表面下发生的事情,所以应是支持的态度。故选A项。
2.(2025·甘肃省陇南市西和县成名中学高三上学期期末)In modern times, artificial intelligence (AI) has entered various industries, including healthcare. AI is revolutionizing healthcare, bringing both opportunities and challenges.
AI-powered diagnostic tools are becoming more common. Machine-learning algorithms can analyze medical images like X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans quickly and accurately. They can spot details doctors might miss. For example, an AI system once identified lung cancer in X-rays more successfully than some experienced radiologists. This early detection enables timely treatment and better patient outcomes.
AI is also used to create personalized treatment plans. By analyzing a patient’s genetic data, medical history, lifestyle, and symptoms, AI can suggest customized strategies. In cancer treatment, for instance, it can determine the best chemotherapy drugs or radiotherapy approach based on a patient’s genetic makeup.
Moreover, AI-driven chatbots offer basic medical advice and answer patients’ questions. They can triage patients, telling them if they need immediate medical attention or can wait. This eases the burden on healthcare providers and gives patients quick access to reliable information.
However, using AI in healthcare has challenges. Data privacy is a major concern as medical data is sensitive. There are also worries about the reliability of AI-based diagnoses, as incorrect results could be serious. Integrating AI into existing healthcare systems requires significant investment in technology and staff training.
Despite these challenges, the future of AI in healthcare is promising. With technological progress and research, AI will play an even bigger role in improving global healthcare.

1.(海南省三亚市2024-2025学年高三上学期期末)66-year-old Han Hua told tales of his table tennis coaching career, showing photos that highlighting his victories in China, Tunisia and France.
Born in 1958, Han’s passion for table tennis started at a young age. A mix of raw talent and continuous dedication drove him to junior tournament victories and eventually, to a desirable spot in the national team.
Since the 1950s, China has sent coaches in sports like table tennis, badminton, gymnastics and diving to improve the competitive capacity of nations afar. As one of them, Han started a 12-year coaching journey in Tunisia in 1984. He rapidly got accustomed to this way of life.
Known for his language competence and deep understanding of the sport, Han has earned applause from peers and athletes.
In the 1990s, France enjoyed a golden era of table tennis led by the great table tennis player Jean-Philippe Gatien. The French team, composed of Gatien, Patrick Chila, and Damien Eloi, achieved remarkable feats in the World Cup and World Championships.
However, as they retired in the early years of this century, the once powerful team was enveloped in calmness, motivating the French Table Tennis Federation to seek a savior in 2013 to restore the nation to its former glory.
Han, with plentiful experience, coaching wisdom and fluency in French, stood out as the ideal candidate. After three years of dedication, Han finally achieved his goal as the French men’s team delivered its most outstanding performance in four decades — Emmanuel Lebesson won the men’s singles title while Simon Gauzy secured the silver medal at the 2016 European Championships. After successfully leading the team to the Rio Olympics, he transitioned into an assistant coaching role, paving the way for young French coaches.
As the year 2024 marks the 60th anniversary of China-France diplomatic relations, Han emphasizes the significance of the enduring bond between the two nations in table tennis.

2.(2025·湖南省长沙市雅礼中学高三测试)Wrapped in a shiny metal suit, Katia Krafft’s small frame appeared insignificant next to the red curtain of boiling rock that burst from the ground before her. The dramatic moment was captured in a photo taken atop Iceland’s Krafla volcano in 1984. “Once you see an eruption, you can’t live without it because it’s so magnificent, so strong,” says Krafft, a fearless pioneer in volcanology, studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field.
The moment a volcano exploded, she and her husband, Maurice Krafft, also a volcancoogist, dropped everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event. These stunning pictures allowed researchers to dissect (剖析) the complex details of each eruption like never before.
The Kraffts initially focused their work on so-called effusive (溢流式的) eruptions, which, though still dangerous, are usually less deadly than their explosive relatives. But two disasters led the Kraffts to turn their eyes on the destructive impacts of the latter. In 1980 the eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington killed 57 people, and in 1985, the eruption of Colombia’s Nevado del Ruiz killed more than 20,000 people.
The couple used their recordings of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters. Their videos are credited as one of the main reasons that officials in the Philippines took the warning signs of Mount Pinatubo’s eruption in 1991 seriously. Yet the Kraffts didn’t live to see it. They died less than two weeks earlier in Japan during a terrible eruption.
Katia’s impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has inspired many young women to study our restless planet. At age 16, Marie-Claude Williamson, now a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada, met Katia during an evening lecture where the Kraffts were narrating one of their films. “It was largely the vision of the extraordinary woman I briefly encountered when I was 16 that kept me going.” she says.
43.What did the Kraffts do when a volcano erupted
A.They sent once warnings. B.They shot the process.
C.They wrote down the details. D.They analyzed the causes.
44.What can be learned about the two eruptions in the 1980s
A.They were effusive eruptions.
B.They took place in the US.
C.They were recorded by the Kraffts.
D.They changed the Kraffts’ career focus.
45.What’s the purpose of filming explosive eruptions
A.To show the beauty of volcanoes.
B.To predict future volcanic activities.
C.To share knowledge of volcanic risks.
D.To guide government policy-making.
46.Which of the following words can best describe Katia
A.Enthusiastic and modest. B.Humorous and professional.
C.Ambitious and generous. D.Courageous and influential.
【答案】43.B 44.D 45.C 46.D
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了火山学家克拉夫特夫妇的工作以及他们对火山学的贡献。

These stunning pictures allowed researchers to dissect the complex details of each eruption like never before.(火山爆发的那一刻,她和同为火山学家的丈夫莫里斯·克拉夫特放下一切,分析并捕捉每一个事件的美丽和神秘。这些令人惊叹的照片使研究人员能够以前所未有的方式剖析每次火山喷发的复杂细节。)”可知,火山爆发时,克拉夫特夫妇要拍摄了这个过程。故选B项。
44.细节理解题。根据第三段“The Kraffts initially focused their work on so-called effusive (溢流式的) eruptions, which, though still dangerous, are usually less deadly than their explosive relatives. But two disasters led the Kraffts to turn their eyes on the destructive impacts of the latter. In 1980 the eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington killed 57 people, and in 1985, the eruption of Colombia’s Nevada del Ruiz killed more than 20,000 people.(克拉夫特夫妇最初把他们的研究重点放在所谓的溢流式喷发上,这种喷发虽然仍然很危险,但通常比爆炸性喷发的致命性要小。但两场灾难让卡夫夫妇把目光转向了后者的破坏性影响。1980年,华盛顿圣海伦斯火山喷发造成57人死亡,1985年,哥伦比亚内华达德尔鲁伊斯火山喷发造成2万多人死亡。)”可知,20世纪80年代的两次火山爆发改变了克拉夫特夫妇的职业重心。故选D项。
45.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The couple used their recordings of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters.(这对夫妇用他们对火山爆发的记录来解释这些灾难的复杂风险和不确定性。)”可知,拍摄火山爆发的目的是分享火山风险的知识。故选C项。
46.推理判断题。根据第一段中的““Once you see an eruption, you can’t live without it because it’s so magnificent, so strong,” says Krafft, a fearless pioneer in volcanology, studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field.(“一旦你看到火山喷发,你就不能没有它,因为它是如此壮观,如此强大,”克拉夫特说,她是一位无畏的火山学先驱,在研究火山喷发高峰的时候,这个领域几乎没有女性。)”和最后一段的句子“Katia’s impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has inspired many young women to study our restless planet.(远远在她去世后很久,卡蒂亚对火山学的影响还在,并激励了许多年轻女性研究我们这个不安分的星球。)”可知,卡蒂亚是一位勇敢且有很大影响力的女性。故选D项。
3.(2025·广东省建文教育集团两学部第二次模拟)A modest assemblage of intrepid and inquisitive youthful Irish musicians have assumed the mantle of safeguarding a legacy of melodies. Their initiative endeavors to position the senior members of a generation teetering on the brink of obsolescence before a microphone, thereby preserving their songs and narratives for the edification and study of future musicians in perpetuity.
Numerous experts frequently sound the alarm regarding the extent to which the oral traditions of humanity are relinquished to the encroachment of modernity on an annual basis. In Ireland, a nation renowned for its vocalists, the Song Collectors Collective (SCC) commemorates this heritage by paying homage to the individuals who have sustained its foundational essence. The majority of these custodians hail from the reclusive traveler communities. Instead of merely amassing lyrics, each song is accessible solely through an exploration of the life and narrative of the individual who rendered it for the SCC, or the so-called “Tradition Bearer.”
Consider, for instance, Freda Black, a great-grandmother in her mid-eighties. She harbored such a plethora of songs that she confessed to being incapable of enumerating them all. She subsequently gained prominence in a recently launched album by a contemporary folk artist and SCC member, Sam Lee. “I relish the moments spent at the knees of these elders,” Lee remarked. “I am exceedingly fortunate. I am capturing the remnants of an era.”
“It is a prevalent plea for the songs and tales to be documented and disseminated, as the old customs are no longer being conveyed, and this vast repository of knowledge pertaining to an archaic mode of existence is on the verge of being consigned to oblivion. In this contemporary epoch of readily accessible recording technology, there is no justification for failing to chronicle and share this opulent yet fragile tradition,” the SCC asserted. Having amassed hundreds of recordings from a multitude of singers, the SCC is commencing to organize educational events, sharing the stories and vocal renditions with those who are keen to listen, as well as imparting knowledge on how individuals can become collectors in their own right.
93.How do those young Irish musicians save the tradition of songs ______
A.By spreading their new music styles .
B.By recording old folk songs and related stories.
C.By teaching young people to learn traditional songs.
D.By improving the living conditions of elderly musicians.
94.What can we infer from Sam Lee’s words ______
A.He is glad to keep a valuable tradition of music.
B.His latest album carries the memory of his grandma.
C.He is lucky to have got some help in learning music.
D.His music is inspired by conversations with Freda Black.
95.What further promotes the SCC’s protection of the oral tradition ______
A.Market demand. B.The support of famous musicians.
C.High praise from the elderly. D.Technological progress.
96.Which of the following can best describe the SCC's work ______
A.Effective and interesting. B.Successful but confusing.
C.Necessary and meaningful. D.Professional but dangerous.
【答案】93.B 94.A 95.D 96.C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了爱尔兰的一群年轻音乐家如何通过记录老一辈歌手的歌曲和故事,保护和传承爱尔兰的传统音乐。这些音乐家通过组织教育活动,分享这些歌曲和故事,鼓励更多人成为传统音乐的传承者。
93.细节理解题。根据第一段“A modest assemblage of intrepid and inquisitive youthful Irish musicians have assumed the mantle of safeguarding a legacy of melodies. Their initiative endeavors to position the senior members of a generation teetering on the brink of obsolescence before a microphone, thereby preserving their songs and narratives for the edification and study of future musicians in perpetuity.( 一群勇敢而好奇的年轻爱尔兰音乐家承担起了保护旋律遗产的责任。他们的倡议努力将这一代即将被遗忘的年长成员置于麦克风前,从而永久地保存他们的歌曲和故事,供未来的音乐家教育和研究。)”可以看出,这些年轻音乐家通过记录老一辈歌手的歌曲和故事来保护传统歌曲。故选B项。
94.推理判断题。根据第三段中““I relish the moments spent at the knees of these elders,” Lee remarked. “I am exceedingly fortunate. I am capturing the remnants of an era. ”(“我珍惜在这些长者膝下度过的时光,”Lee说。“我非常幸运。我正在捕捉一个时代的遗产。”)”可知,从Sam Lee的话中我们可以推断出他很高兴能保持有价值的音乐传统。故选A项。
95.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In this contemporary epoch of readily accessible recording technology, there is no justification for failing to chronicle and share this opulent yet fragile tradition," the SCC asserted.(在当今这个录音技术随处可见的时代,没有理由不记录和分享这一丰富而脆弱的传统,SCC断言。)”可以看出,技术进步促进了SCC对口头传统的保护。故选D项。
96.推理判断题。根据文章大意可知,整篇文章都在介绍SCC如何通过记录和分享老一辈歌手的歌曲和故事来保护爱尔兰的传统音乐。这些活动不仅保存了传统,还教育了新一代,具有必要性和意义。因此,C选项Necessary and meaningful“必要且有意义。”是对其最合适的描述。故选C项。
题型四 阅读理解之推理判断---写作手法题
1.(2025·湖南省长沙市高三高考适应性考试)Decades of increasing corn and soya bean production have turned Brazil into an agricultural powerhouse, which also led to the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. That has long put farmers and environmentalists in disagreement. But a study released in October by the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and Rainforest Foundation Norway (RFN) shows the extent to which deforestation is hurting farmers too.
The report shows that the practice of clear-cutting in the Brazilian Amazon led to reduced crop production, resulting in total economic losses of about $1 billion between 2006 and 2019. The net revenues (收入) for soya beans dropped by 10% over that time, while corn revenues dropped by 20%. Anders Krogh, a specialist forest adviser at RFN, says these findings demonstrate the danger deforestation poses to global food security.
When ancient forests become rolling plains, a delicate balance of water cycle is disturbed. As trees breathe, they turn water into vapour (水蒸气), which goes on to form large, thick rain clouds, and has a cooling effect on the region. This recycling process also influences atmospheric circulation (循环), which plays a key role in temperature regulation in the Amazon basin. The effects are the severest in the most deforested regions. Less rain and hotter days mean smaller harvests and smaller revenues.
Preventing further deforestation in Brazil’s southern Amazon could slow the trend. Plus, reforesting could even change rainfall trends: the report concludes that if the Brazilian state of Pará were to reforest 55,000 km of farming land, the rain could come on average five days earlier, and up to 19 in some areas. For now, though, that seems like a tall order. Agricultural firms in Brazil tend to treat such reports and the researchers who produce them with doubt. The term “agri-phobic (农业恐惧)” is often used to describe scientists who criticize the country’s farming practices. At the grassroots level, despite the increasing costs of adapting to drier conditions, Brazilian farmers doubt the claims that lower production results from climate change or deforestation.
Britaldo Soares-Filho, a researcher at UFMG and the report’s lead author, hopes that concentrating on the financial effect of deforestation, rather than abstract modelling, can change farmers’ minds. Sustainable farming practices, he urges, are in the economic interests of agribusiness.
51.How does the author develop paragraph 2
A.By listing statistics. B.By citing a saying.
C.By making an assumption. D.By introducing a concept.
52.Which is close to the underlined idiom “a tall order” in meaning in paragraph 4
A.A hard nut. B.A big fish.
C.A helping hand. D.A red-letter day.
53.What does Britaldo Soares-Filho mean
A.Logging contributes to financial increase.
B.Abstract modelling makes a big difference.
C.Clear-cutting puts global food security in great danger.
D.Farmers should focus on the financial impact of deforestation.
54.What is the best title for the text
A.Deforestation: it boosts revenues
B.Water cycle: it disturbs agriculture
C.Climate change: it worsens rainforest
D.Reforesting: it relieves global warming
【答案】51.A 52.A 53.D 54.A
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了巴西亚马孙雨林的砍伐对农业生产及经济的影响。
51.推理判断题。根据第二段“The report shows that the practice of clear-cutting in the Brazilian Amazon led to reduced crop production, resulting in total economic losses of about $1 billion between 2006 and 2019. The net revenues (收入) for soya beans dropped by 10% over that time, while corn revenues dropped by 20%. Anders Krogh, a specialist forest adviser at RFN, says these findings demonstrate the danger deforestation poses to global food security.(报告显示,巴西亚马孙地区的皆伐导致农作物产量减少,2006年至2019年期间经济损失总额约为10亿美元。在此期间,大豆的净收入下降了10%,而玉米的收入下降了20%。雨林基金会(RFN)的林业专家顾问安德斯·克罗格(Anders Krogh)表示,这些发现表明,森林砍伐对全球粮食安全构成了威胁。)”可知,作者在该段中通过列出具体的统计数据,如经济损失总额、大豆和玉米的收入下降百分比等,来支持其观点。故选A。
52.词句猜测题。根据上文“Plus, reforesting could even change rainfall trends: the report concludes that if the Brazilian state of Pará were to reforest 55,000 km of farming land, the rain could come on average five days earlier, and up to 19 in some areas.(此外,重新造林甚至可以改变降雨趋势:报告得出结论,如果巴西帕拉州能够对5.5万平方公里的耕地进行重新造林,那么雨水可能会平均提前5天到来,在某些地区甚至可能提前19天到来。)”和“though(不过)”可知,就目前而言,这似乎是一个难题。由此可知,“a tall order”指的是一个难以实现或要求过高的任务,即一个难题。选项A“一个难题”符合题意。故选A。
53.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Britaldo Soares-Filho, a researcher at UFMG and the report’s lead author, hopes that concentrating on the financial effect of deforestation, rather than abstract modelling, can change farmers’ minds.(UFMG的研究员、该报告的主要作者布里塔尔多·索阿雷斯·菲略希望,把注意力集中在森林砍伐的经济影响上,而不是抽象的建模上,可以改变农民的想法。)”可知,Britaldo Soares-Filho认为农民应该关注森林砍伐对经济的影响。故选D。
54.主旨大意题。根据第一段“But a study released in October by the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and Rainforest Foundation Norway (RFN) shows the extent to which deforestation is hurting farmers too.(但米纳斯吉拉斯联邦大学(UFMG)和挪威雨林基金会(RFN)10月发布的一项研究显示,森林砍伐对农民的伤害程度也很大。)”和第二段“The report shows that the practice of clear-cutting in the Brazilian Amazon led to reduced crop production, resulting in total economic losses of about $1 billion between 2006 and 2019.(报告显示,巴西亚马孙地区的皆伐导致农作物产量减少,2006年至2019年期间经济损失总额约为10亿美元。)”可知,文章主要讨论了森林砍伐对农业生产及经济的影响,选项A“砍伐森林:它能增加收入?”这个标题能够引发读者对森林砍伐与农民收入之间关系的思考,与短文的主题紧密相关。故选A。
2.(2025·河北省沧州市盐山县河北省盐山中学高三月考)Wild African elephants address each other with name-like calls, a rare ability among nonhuman animals, according to a new study published in Nature Ecology and Evolution.
The researchers from Save the Elephants, a research and conservation organization based in Kenya, used machine learning to confirm that elephant calls contained a name-like component identifying the intended recipient. When the researchers played back recorded calls, elephants responded to calls that were addressed to them by calling back or approaching the speaker. Calls meant for other elephants received less of a reaction.
“Elephants are expressive animals,” said George Wittemyer, an author of the study, “and their reactions are easy to read to those familiar with them. When the researchers played back samples, the elephants responded energetically and positively to recordings of their friends and family members calling to them but did not react enthusiastically or move toward calls directed to others, demonstrating that they recognized their names.”
The study lasted four years and included 14 months of fieldwork in Kenya, with the researchers following elephants in a vehicle and recording their vocalizations. About 470 distinct calls were collected from 101 unique callers corresponding with 117 unique receivers in Samburu National Reserve and Amboseli National Park.
The researchers said much more data would be needed to distinguish the names within the calls and determine whether elephants name other things they interact with, like food, water and places. “Unfortunately, we can’t have them speak into microphones,” Wittemyer said, noting the barriers to collecting enough data.
New insights into elephant communication revealed by the study strengthen the case for their conservation, the researchers said. Elephants are classified as endangered, due to hunting and habitat loss. Because of their size, they need a lot of space and can be destructive to property and dangerous to people.
While conversing with them remains a distant dream, Wittemyer said that being able to talk with them could be a game changer for their protection.
74.How did the researchers draw their conclusion
A.By identifying the intended recipients’ family.
B.By analyzing the researchers’ calls with machines.
C.By referring to an expert’s personal experience.
D.By observing elephants’ reaction to played calls.
75.What do the researchers need to do next
A.Classify the species of elephants. B.Collect sufficient elephants’ calls.
C.Keep elephants away from people. D.Change elephants’ calls randomly.
76.What is Wittemyer’s opinion on people’s communicating with elephants
A.It will be a reality soon. B.It is of great significance.
C.It remains impossible forever. D.It is useless to their protection.
77.Where does the text most probably appear
A.In a science magazine. B.In a biology textbook.
C.In an animal care guide. D.In an interview.

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究,即野生非洲大象会用类似名字的叫声来互相称呼,这是非人类动物中罕见的能力。
74.细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers from Save the Elephants, a research and conservation organization based in Kenya, used machine learning to confirm that elephant calls contained a name-like component identifying the intended recipient. When the researchers played back recorded calls, elephants responded to calls that were addressed to them by calling back or approaching the speaker. Calls meant for other elephants received less of a reaction.(来自肯尼亚研究和保护组织‘拯救大象’的研究人员使用机器学习来确认大象的叫声中包含了一个类似名字的成分,用以识别预期的接收者。当研究人员播放录制的叫声时,大象会对针对它们的叫声做出回应,通过回叫或靠近扬声器。而针对其他大象的叫声则反应较少。)”可知,研究人员是通过观察大象对播放的叫声的反应得出结论的。故选D。
75.推理判断题。根据第五段“The researchers said much more data would be needed to distinguish the names within the calls and determine whether elephants name other things they interact with, like food, water and places. ‘Unfortunately, we can’t have them speak into microphones,’ Wittemyer said, noting the barriers to collecting enough data.(研究人员表示,需要更多的数据来区分叫声中的名字,并确定大象是否会为它们互动的其他事物命名,比如食物、水和地方。Wittemyer说:‘不幸的是,我们不能让它们对着麦克风说话。’他指出了收集足够数据的障碍。)”可推知,研究人员接下来需要收集足够的大象叫声。故选B。
76.推理判断题。根据最后一段“While conversing with them remains a distant dream, Wittemyer said that being able to talk with them could be a game changer for their protection.(虽然与它们交谈仍然是一个遥远的梦想,但Wittemyer表示,能够与它们交谈可能会改专题03 阅读理解之推理判断题

题型一 阅读理解之推理判断---引申推断题
1.(2025·甘肃省陇南市西和县成名中学高三期末)In recent years, the landscape of education has been significantly transformed by the rise of online learning. As technology continues to advance, an increasing number of students are choosing online courses, leading to a heated debate about whether online learning can replace traditional offline learning.
Online learning offers several distinct advantages. Firstly, it provides remarkable flexibility. Students can access course materials and lectures at any time and from anywhere, as long as they have an internet connection. This is especially beneficial for those with busy schedules or those who live in remote areas. For example, a student who has a part - time job can study during their free time without having to worry about commuting to a physical classroom. Secondly, online learning platforms often offer a vast range of courses. Learners can choose from various subjects and levels, enabling them to customize their learning experience according to their interests and needs.
However, online learning also has its drawbacks. One of the main challenges is the lack of face - to - face interaction. Without direct communication with teachers and classmates, students may find it difficult to ask questions immediately and engage in in - depth discussions. Additionally, online learning requires a high level of self - discipline. In the absence of a physical classroom environment, some students may struggle to stay focused and motivated.
On the other hand, traditional offline learning has its own merits. In a classroom setting, students can have immediate feedback from teachers. Teachers can observe students’ reactions, understand their difficulties, and provide timely guidance. Moreover, the in - person interaction among classmates can foster a sense of community and teamwork. Group projects and class discussions in a physical classroom can enhance students’ communication skills and ability to work together.
Nevertheless, offline learning is not without limitations. It is restricted by time and space. Students need to attend classes at specific times and locations, which can be inconvenient. For instance, bad weather or transportation problems may prevent students from reaching the classroom on time.
In conclusion, both online learning and offline learning have their own advantages and disadvantages. Instead of seeing one as a complete replacement for the other, we should combine the two methods to create a more effective and comprehensive learning environment.
5.What is the main topic of the passage
A.The development of online learning. B.The comparison between online learning and offline learning.
C.The advantages of offline learning. D.The challenges of online learning.
6.Which of the following is an advantage of online learning
A.It provides immediate feedback from teachers.
B.It offers a sense of community and teamwork.
C.It is highly flexible in terms of time and place.
D.It is not affected by the internet connection.
7.What does the underlined word “drawbacks” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Benefits. B.Disadvantages. C.Features. D.Improvements.
8.What can be inferred from the passage
A.Online learning will completely replace offline learning in the future.
B.Offline learning is always better than online learning.
C.We should make use of the strengths of both learning methods.
D.The limitations of offline learning can be easily overcome.
2.(2025·辽宁省东北育才、辽宁省实验中学、大连24中学、大连八中、鞍山一中2024-2025学年高三上学期五校联考期末)For the perfect cup of tea, does one add milk to boiling water, or the opposite Neither, if new research in the journal Current Biology is to be believed. What must be prepared first, instead, are the microbes (微生物) .
Scientists are increasingly aware that the fungi and bacteria living around a plant's roots can significantly affect its growth by enhancing the absorption of critical nutrients like iron and nitrogen. This possibility of enhanced nitrogen absorption was particularly fascinating to tea experts Xin Wei and Tang Wenxin at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University in China because tea plants rely upon nitrogen-rich soil around their roots to produce theanine, an amino acid that generates their unique pleasant flavors. Dr. Xin and Dr. Tang found that theanine production varied widely, even among similar teas. Some highly valued oolong teas such as Rougui, produced a lot of the chemical, whereas others, such as Maoxie, produced less. This difference was particularly obvious in the autumn, when the roots were accumulating theanine.
This brought about a natural question. If the microbe community found around Rougui were transplanted to other tea plants, might this increase their theanine production and, in turn, improve their flavor To explore this, the researchers created a community of microbes made up of 21 bacterial varieties that resembled the community found around Rougui roots and applied them to the roots of Maoxie plants. They report this week that this nearly tripled the theanine accumulation in Maoxie leaves. While the time-consuming process of transforming leaves into drinkable tea has yet to be completed, the researchers have little doubt that there will be big differences.
Flavors aside, the Rougui microbe sample that Dr. Xin and Dr. Tang worked with has the potential to make a wider environmental impact. Most farmers, not just tea growers, add some form of nitrogen to their soil to enhance growth. While some of this is absorbed by plants, most runs off during heavy rains and ends up polluting natural water bodies. When the researchers applied their microbial cocktail to soil around the roots of cress (水芹) plants, which is the lab rat of the botanical world, they found that, just as with Maoxie, the newcomers enhanced nitrogen uptake. This suggests that these microbes have the potential to create new flavors while also reducing agricultural pollution. That should be everyone's cup of tea.
23.Which of the following directly determines the flavor of tea
A.Microbes. B.Theanine. C.Nitrogen. D.Fungi.
24.What was the primary goal of the experiment mentioned in Paragraph 3
A.To determine the effect of microbes on tea leaf color.
B.To increase the caffeine content in tea leaves.
C.To enhance theanine production in Maoxie tea plants.
D.To identify new varieties of tea-producing bacteria.
25.What can we infer about the future of tea production with the use of microbes
A.It is very likely to lead to a significant increase in tea production costs.
B.It has the potential to reduce water pollution caused by farming.
C.It will replace traditional methods of growing tea entirely.
D.Its benefits are limited to certain types of tea plants.
26.What is the best title for the passage
A.Tea Science: Microbes Functioning
B.Microbes’ Role: Enhancing Tea Production
C.Discovering New Microbe Varieties in Tea Plants
D.Rethinking the impact of Microbes on Environment
3.(2025·海南省三亚市高三期末)As students and scholars prepare a new academic year, the reliance on computers for note-taking and paper writing has never been greater. Younger students, encouraged or even required to bring laptops to class, have raised concerns among parents about distraction and reduced engagement. University professors complain a decline in classroom focus, with students often multitasking instead of actively listening.
Among these debates, a line of research shows the lasting benefits of handwriting — an “innovation” before computers. First, handwriting enhances memory. Putting words on paper with a pen or pencil creates muscle and sensory memories, and the arrangement of words on a page feed into visual memory: people might remember a word they wrote down in French class at the bottom-left on certain page, which enhances learning.
Another best-demonstrated advantages of handwriting seems to be in effective note-taking. In a study from 2014 by Pam Mueller and Danny Oppenheimer, students’ typing wrote down almost twice as many words exactly from lectures, suggesting they were not understanding so much as rapidly copying the material. Handwriting — which takes longer for nearly all university-level students — forces note-takers to synthesize (综合) and convey concepts in their own words, thus strengthening learning.
Policymakers have also taken note of handwriting’s benefits. Half of the states in the USA, have responded to research advocating for continued handwriting instruction. Sweden advocates for more handwriting and fewer electronic devices, while England authorizes cursive instruction by age seven.
Dr. Virginia Berninger, a psychology professor at the University of Washington, is a longtime advocate of handwriting while acknowledging its integration with digital literacy. She highlights research-backed benefits across different writing styles — from manuscript to cursive — and even typing, which aids in composing coherent passages quickly. Advocating occasional “tuning up” of handwriting skills throughout schooling and possibly into adulthood, Berninger maintains that a balanced approach to writing methods ensures students’ academic and cognitive development.
27.What’s the possible result of younger students using laptops in class
A.Increased engagement. B.Enhanced learning.
C.Declined memory. D.Weakened attention.
28.What does the underlined words “feed into” probably mean in Paragraph 2
A.Enhance. B.Conclude. C.Switch. D.Influence.
29.Which of the following does Berninger agree to do
A.Replace handwriting with digital skills.
B.Prioritize digital skills over handwriting.
C.Balance handwriting with digital literacy.
D.Teach handwriting only in early education.
30.What does the text mainly focus on
A.Handwriting vs. typing in education.
B.The decline of handwriting in schools.
C.The benefits of handwriting in learning.
D.Technology’s impact on student engagement.
4.(2025·湖南省长沙市雅礼中学高三测试)An ambitious plan to genetically engineer a version of the woolly mammoth (长毛猛犸象), a giant that disappeared 4,000 years ago, is making some progress. A new biosciences and genetics company, Colosal, has raised $15 million to create a mammoth hybeid that looks exactly like its extinct counterpart. The goal isn’t to clone a mammoth, but to create, through genetic engineering, a living, walking elephant-mammoth hybeid.
The scientists revealed they had reprogrammed cells from an Asian elephant, the woolly mammoth’s closest living relative. These changed cells can grow into any kind of elephant cell. The research team has analyzed the than 50 changes to the genetic code of the Asian elephant to give it the characteristics it needs to survive and thrive in the Arctic. These characteristics include a 10-centimeter layer of insulating (绝缘的) fat, five different kinds of hair including some that is up to a meter long, and smaller ears that will help the hybrid tolerate the cold.
Colossal believes that bringing the woolly mammoth back to life could possibly help restore the fragile Arctic tundra (冻原) ecosystem, which is at risk as the world warms. The company has claimed that mammoths, if they should return to their natural habitat in the Arctic in sufficient numbers, would help slow down frozen soil melting. Some scientists believe that, before their extinction, animals such as mammoths and horses kept the earth frozen underneath by walking on the grass, knocking down trees and pressing snow tight. One small study in Siberia published in 2021 suggested that the presence of large mammals such as horses and reindeer resulted in lower soil temperatures in the protected area where they were kept compared with land outside that area.
Colossal also announced plans to being some other animals back to life such as the Tasmanian tiger in 2023 and the dodo in 2024, but its work on the mammoth has been going on longest.
39.What does the underlined word “counterpart” in the first paragraph refer to
A.Endangered animal. B.Fellow species.
C.Cloned elephant. D.Extracted cell.
40.What can we learn about the hybrid
A.It is visually similar to the Asian elephant.
B.It can grow into any types of elephant cell.
C.Thick fat and smaller ears help it endure the severe weather.
D.Long hair like a woolly coat keeps it from the cold and attacks.
41.Why does the author mention the study in Siberia in Paragraph 3
A.To illustrate the possibility of reintroducing mammoths to their natural habitats.
B.To compare different kinds of nature reserves where large mammals were kept.
C.To indicate the link between the extinction of large mammals and climate change.
D.To show the potential impact of returning mammoths to the Arctic on the ecosystem.
42.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.The project on bringing back the mammoth costs the most.
B.The Tasmania tiger and the dodo are also long-dead animals.
C.Colossal needs increased investment to advance the projects.
D.Colossal is completely confident in its technology and scientists.
题型二 阅读理解之推理判断---写作目的和意图题
1.(2025·广东省深圳市龙岗区高三期末质量监测)Frightening as monsters are, they have always fascinated us. From strange combinations of animals to magical beings, creatures have emerged from our imaginations throughout history. Today, they still frequent our cinema screens. Considering how scared we can be of monsters, it seems paradoxical that we keep making them. In fact, there is science behind our love of monsters.
Monsters are imaginary creatures that come from our long history of living alongside predators (捕食者). Snakes, for example, were among our ancestors’ first deadly threats, causing them to evolve snake-responsive neurons (神经元) in their brains. This adaptation allowed them to detect snakes with just a quick look. This hardware produced the snake-like monsters, including dragons, that appear in almost all cultures. That is why we get a thrill seeing snake monsters on the screen.
Similarly, our ancestors’ minds were shaped by the need to detect bears, lions and other larger predators in tough environments. We evolved to spot predators in the dark between tree trunks or in shadowy corners. With their long teeth and giant claws, these animals have seized our imaginations, appearing in cave paintings over thousands of years.
There are psychological benefits to being frightened by monsters. Scary stories with terrifying creatures activate the amygdala, the brain’s fear center, kicking off the fight-or-flight response and releasing adrenaline (肾上腺素). With the story ending in safety, adrenaline levels drop, bringing chemicals that fuel the feeling of relaxation. Such controlled fear experience might help us to manage long-term stress or increase our pain tolerance. As a result, some people with anxiety enjoy watching horror films before bed.
The monsters we create today for films and books reflect our deepest fears — whether it’s Godzilla threatening civilisation, or aliens growing within us. Monster media allows us to externalise anxieties into supernatural beings. By understanding our monsters and why we make them, we can learn a great deal about what is going on under the surface of our minds.
1.What does the underlined word “paradoxical” mean in paragraph 1
A.Reasonable. B.Predictable. C.Contradictory. D.Problematic.
2.What is the purpose of paragraphs 2 and 3
A.To honour the wisdom of our ancestors. B.To demonstrate the origin of monsters.
C.To compare different deadly creatures. D.To introduce common animals in artworks.
3.How does watching horror films benefit people with anxiety
A.It reduces the brain’s sensitivity to fear. B.It helps people forget anxious experiences.
C.It teaches safety lessons in extreme danger. D.It stimulates the body’s relaxation system.
4.What is the author’s attitude towards our love of monsters
A.Favourable. B.Uncertain. C.Ambiguous. D.Skeptical.
2.(2025·甘肃省陇南市西和县成名中学高三上学期期末)In modern times, artificial intelligence (AI) has entered various industries, including healthcare. AI is revolutionizing healthcare, bringing both opportunities and challenges.
AI-powered diagnostic tools are becoming more common. Machine-learning algorithms can analyze medical images like X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans quickly and accurately. They can spot details doctors might miss. For example, an AI system once identified lung cancer in X-rays more successfully than some experienced radiologists. This early detection enables timely treatment and better patient outcomes.
AI is also used to create personalized treatment plans. By analyzing a patient’s genetic data, medical history, lifestyle, and symptoms, AI can suggest customized strategies. In cancer treatment, for instance, it can determine the best chemotherapy drugs or radiotherapy approach based on a patient’s genetic makeup.
Moreover, AI-driven chatbots offer basic medical advice and answer patients’ questions. They can triage patients, telling them if they need immediate medical attention or can wait. This eases the burden on healthcare providers and gives patients quick access to reliable information.
However, using AI in healthcare has challenges. Data privacy is a major concern as medical data is sensitive. There are also worries about the reliability of AI-based diagnoses, as incorrect results could be serious. Integrating AI into existing healthcare systems requires significant investment in technology and staff training.
Despite these challenges, the future of AI in healthcare is promising. With technological progress and research, AI will play an even bigger role in improving global healthcare.

1.(海南省三亚市2024-2025学年高三上学期期末)66-year-old Han Hua told tales of his table tennis coaching career, showing photos that highlighting his victories in China, Tunisia and France.
Born in 1958, Han’s passion for table tennis started at a young age. A mix of raw talent and continuous dedication drove him to junior tournament victories and eventually, to a desirable spot in the national team.
Since the 1950s, China has sent coaches in sports like table tennis, badminton, gymnastics and diving to improve the competitive capacity of nations afar. As one of them, Han started a 12-year coaching journey in Tunisia in 1984. He rapidly got accustomed to this way of life.
Known for his language competence and deep understanding of the sport, Han has earned applause from peers and athletes.
In the 1990s, France enjoyed a golden era of table tennis led by the great table tennis player Jean-Philippe Gatien. The French team, composed of Gatien, Patrick Chila, and Damien Eloi, achieved remarkable feats in the World Cup and World Championships.
However, as they retired in the early years of this century, the once powerful team was enveloped in calmness, motivating the French Table Tennis Federation to seek a savior in 2013 to restore the nation to its former glory.
Han, with plentiful experience, coaching wisdom and fluency in French, stood out as the ideal candidate. After three years of dedication, Han finally achieved his goal as the French men’s team delivered its most outstanding performance in four decades — Emmanuel Lebesson won the men’s singles title while Simon Gauzy secured the silver medal at the 2016 European Championships. After successfully leading the team to the Rio Olympics, he transitioned into an assistant coaching role, paving the way for young French coaches.
As the year 2024 marks the 60th anniversary of China-France diplomatic relations, Han emphasizes the significance of the enduring bond between the two nations in table tennis.

2.(2025·湖南省长沙市雅礼中学高三测试)Wrapped in a shiny metal suit, Katia Krafft’s small frame appeared insignificant next to the red curtain of boiling rock that burst from the ground before her. The dramatic moment was captured in a photo taken atop Iceland’s Krafla volcano in 1984. “Once you see an eruption, you can’t live without it because it’s so magnificent, so strong,” says Krafft, a fearless pioneer in volcanology, studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field.
The moment a volcano exploded, she and her husband, Maurice Krafft, also a volcancoogist, dropped everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event. These stunning pictures allowed researchers to dissect (剖析) the complex details of each eruption like never before.
The Kraffts initially focused their work on so-called effusive (溢流式的) eruptions, which, though still dangerous, are usually less deadly than their explosive relatives. But two disasters led the Kraffts to turn their eyes on the destructive impacts of the latter. In 1980 the eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington killed 57 people, and in 1985, the eruption of Colombia’s Nevado del Ruiz killed more than 20,000 people.
The couple used their recordings of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters. Their videos are credited as one of the main reasons that officials in the Philippines took the warning signs of Mount Pinatubo’s eruption in 1991 seriously. Yet the Kraffts didn’t live to see it. They died less than two weeks earlier in Japan during a terrible eruption.
Katia’s impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has inspired many young women to study our restless planet. At age 16, Marie-Claude Williamson, now a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada, met Katia during an evening lecture where the Kraffts were narrating one of their films. “It was largely the vision of the extraordinary woman I briefly encountered when I was 16 that kept me going.” she says.
43.What did the Kraffts do when a volcano erupted
A.They sent once warnings. B.They shot the process.
C.They wrote down the details. D.They analyzed the causes.
44.What can be learned about the two eruptions in the 1980s
A.They were effusive eruptions.
B.They took place in the US.
C.They were recorded by the Kraffts.
D.They changed the Kraffts’ career focus.
45.What’s the purpose of filming explosive eruptions
A.To show the beauty of volcanoes.
B.To predict future volcanic activities.
C.To share knowledge of volcanic risks.
D.To guide government policy-making.

3.(2025·广东省建文教育集团两学部第二次模拟)A modest assemblage of intrepid and inquisitive youthful Irish musicians have assumed the mantle of safeguarding a legacy of melodies. Their initiative endeavors to position the senior members of a generation teetering on the brink of obsolescence before a microphone, thereby preserving their songs and narratives for the edification and study of future musicians in perpetuity.
Numerous experts frequently sound the alarm regarding the extent to which the oral traditions of humanity are relinquished to the encroachment of modernity on an annual basis. In Ireland, a nation renowned for its vocalists, the Song Collectors Collective (SCC) commemorates this heritage by paying homage to the individuals who have sustained its foundational essence. The majority of these custodians hail from the reclusive traveler communities. Instead of merely amassing lyrics, each song is accessible solely through an exploration of the life and narrative of the individual who rendered it for the SCC, or the so-called “Tradition Bearer.”
Consider, for instance, Freda Black, a great-grandmother in her mid-eighties. She harbored such a plethora of songs that she confessed to being incapable of enumerating them all. She subsequently gained prominence in a recently launched album by a contemporary folk artist and SCC member, Sam Lee. “I relish the moments spent at the knees of these elders,” Lee remarked. “I am exceedingly fortunate. I am capturing the remnants of an era.”
“It is a prevalent plea for the songs and tales to be documented and disseminated, as the old customs are no longer being conveyed, and this vast repository of knowledge pertaining to an archaic mode of existence is on the verge of being consigned to oblivion. In this contemporary epoch of readily accessible recording technology, there is no justification for failing to chronicle and share this opulent yet fragile tradition,” the SCC asserted. Having amassed hundreds of recordings from a multitude of singers, the SCC is commencing to organize educational events, sharing the stories and vocal renditions with those who are keen to listen, as well as imparting knowledge on how individuals can become collectors in their own right.
93.How do those young Irish musicians save the tradition of songs ______
A.By spreading their new music styles .
B.By recording old folk songs and related stories.
C.By teaching young people to learn traditional songs.
D.By improving the living conditions of elderly musicians.
94.What can we infer from Sam Lee’s words ______
A.He is glad to keep a valuable tradition of music.
B.His latest album carries the memory of his grandma.
C.He is lucky to have got some help in learning music.
D.His music is inspired by conversations with Freda Black.
95.What further promotes the SCC’s protection of the oral tradition ______
A.Market demand. B.The support of famous musicians.
C.High praise from the elderly. D.Technological progress.
96.Which of the following can best describe the SCC's work ______
A.Effective and interesting. B.Successful but confusing.
C.Necessary and meaningful. D.Professional but dangerous.

1.(2025·湖南省长沙市高三高考适应性考试)Decades of increasing corn and soya bean production have turned Brazil into an agricultural powerhouse, which also led to the destruction of the Amazon rainforest. That has long put farmers and environmentalists in disagreement. But a study released in October by the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and Rainforest Foundation Norway (RFN) shows the extent to which deforestation is hurting farmers too.
The report shows that the practice of clear-cutting in the Brazilian Amazon led to reduced crop production, resulting in total economic losses of about $1 billion between 2006 and 2019. The net revenues (收入) for soya beans dropped by 10% over that time, while corn revenues dropped by 20%. Anders Krogh, a specialist forest adviser at RFN, says these findings demonstrate the danger deforestation poses to global food security.
When ancient forests become rolling plains, a delicate balance of water cycle is disturbed. As trees breathe, they turn water into vapour (水蒸气), which goes on to form large, thick rain clouds, and has a cooling effect on the region. This recycling process also influences atmospheric circulation (循环), which plays a key role in temperature regulation in the Amazon basin. The effects are the severest in the most deforested regions. Less rain and hotter days mean smaller harvests and smaller revenues.
Preventing further deforestation in Brazil’s southern Amazon could slow the trend. Plus, reforesting could even change rainfall trends: the report concludes that if the Brazilian state of Pará were to reforest 55,000 km of farming land, the rain could come on average five days earlier, and up to 19 in some areas. For now, though, that seems like a tall order. Agricultural firms in Brazil tend to treat such reports and the researchers who produce them with doubt. The term “agri-phobic (农业恐惧)” is often used to describe scientists who criticize the country’s farming practices. At the grassroots level, despite the increasing costs of adapting to drier conditions, Brazilian farmers doubt the claims that lower production results from climate change or deforestation.
Britaldo Soares-Filho, a researcher at UFMG and the report’s lead author, hopes that concentrating on the financial effect of deforestation, rather than abstract modelling, can change farmers’ minds. Sustainable farming practices, he urges, are in the economic interests of agribusiness.

2.(2025·河北省沧州市盐山县河北省盐山中学高三月考)Wild African elephants address each other with name-like calls, a rare ability among nonhuman animals, according to a new study published in Nature Ecology and Evolution.
The researchers from Save the Elephants, a research and conservation organization based in Kenya, used machine learning to confirm that elephant calls contained a name-like component identifying the intended recipient. When the researchers played back recorded calls, elephants responded to calls that were addressed to them by calling back or approaching the speaker. Calls meant for other elephants received less of a reaction.
“Elephants are expressive animals,” said George Wittemyer, an author of the study, “and their reactions are easy to read to those familiar with them. When the researchers played back samples, the elephants responded energetically and positively to recordings of their friends and family members calling to them but did not react enthusiastically or move toward calls directed to others, demonstrating that they recognized their names.”
The study lasted four years and included 14 months of fieldwork in Kenya, with the researchers following elephants in a vehicle and recording their vocalizations. About 470 distinct calls were collected from 101 unique callers corresponding with 117 unique receivers in Samburu National Reserve and Amboseli National Park.
The researchers said much more data would be needed to distinguish the names within the calls and determine whether elephants name other things they interact with, like food, water and places. “Unfortunately, we can’t have them speak into microphones,” Wittemyer said, noting the barriers to collecting enough data.
New insights into elephant communication revealed by the study strengthen the case for their conservation, the researchers said. Elephants are classified as endangered, due to hunting and habitat loss. Because of their size, they need a lot of space and can be destructive to property and dangerous to people.
While conversing with them remains a distant dream, Wittemyer said that being able to talk with them could be a game changer for their protection.
74.How did the researchers draw their conclusion
A.By identifying the intended recipients’ family.
B.By analyzing the researchers’ calls with machines.
C.By referring to an expert’s personal experience.
D.By observing elephants’ reaction to played calls.
75.What do the researchers need to do next
A.Classify the species of elephants. B.Collect sufficient elephants’ calls.
C.Keep elephants away from people. D.Change elephants’ calls randomly.
76.What is Wittemyer’s opinion on people’s communicating with elephants
A.It will be a reality soon. B.It is of great significance.
C.It remains impossible forever. D.It is useless to their protection.
77.Where does the text most probably appear
A.In a science magazine. B.In a biology textbook.
C.In an animal care guide. D.In an interview.
3.(2025·辽宁省沈阳市高三上学期一模)In a study, 152 college students exposed to misinformation read one of two articles intended to give correct and scientifically backed information. Those who read an article that had “just the facts” preserved more misconceptions than those who read an article with a refutation — meaning it specifically pointed out the false claims before presenting the facts.
For this study, researchers first tested what the student participants knew about putting fluoride (氟化物) in water. The students then read two articles: one with false information saying that fluoridation is harmful and the other presenting the scientific ideas that fluoridation is safe and prevents dental disease. The participants all read the same misinformation, but different groups read an article with the correct information either in a traditional “just the facts” style or one that first refuted the misinformation. The study also tested the effects of having the participants read the correct article before, or after, the misinformation.
A post-test revealed that the students still learned under all four conditions — but the group that performed the worst had seen the misinformation followed by a “just the facts” type text. Those who had read the refutation article either before, or after, the misinformation had fewer misconceptions. They also had more positive emotions toward the subject.
With large amounts of information easily available online, it can be hard for many people to sort fact from falsehood. This can cause a problem called “conceptual pollution” — when learning incorrect information gives rise to intervention and confusion in learning the correct information. “Your mind doesn’t discriminate for content. Whether it’s a correct conception or a misconception, it just absorbs it,” Danielson, a psychology researcher, says. Researchers like him are looking for ways to teach science that break through the noise of misinformation. This study and others prove that a refutation approach is prospective. Researchers also perceive the refutational approach works well for topics from physics and chemistry to highly political ones.
1.What do we know about the student participants in the study
A.They were divided into two groups. B.They got misinformation first.
C.They were shown right information. D.They read the same two articles.
2.In what order did the poorest-performing group read the articles
A.Misinformation first, then refutation. B.“Just the facts” first, then misinformation.
C.Refutation first, then misinformation. D.Misinformation first, then “just the facts”.
3.What does the underlined word “noise” probably mean in paragraph 4
A.Correction. B.Disturbance. C.Occurrence. D.Comprehension.

1.(2025·安徽省淮北市和淮南市高三第一次质量检测)Dutch startup Nuwa claims to have invented the “world’s most advanced pen” that digitizes (数字化) notes written by hand. The Groningen-based company today announced a fresh cash injection of ?1. 5 million to promote the development of the product, which uses an inbuilt camera system, motion sensors, and artificial intelligence to capture text written on paper.
“Just write, and Nuwa Pen digitizes, ” Marc Tuinier, Nuwa's CEO, told us. All the notes are then stored on the startup’s app. They can then be organized, shared, and integrated with other apps. A particularly fascinating feature is intelligent notes, which scans and identifies rich text items such as dates, to-dos, and phone numbers from the notes. Users can then link the data with, for instance, their calendar, to-do app, or phone book. The feature is integrated with over 50 apps. Nuwa compares it to a personal assistant that puts you on top of your schedule.
Nuwa is targeting the product at people who still enjoy writing with a pen and notebook. While many smart pens only work on screens or digital writing systems, Nuwa promises adaptability with every type of paper. The product also uses regular ink refills. “Other smart pen brands rely on special dotted paper to recognize what the user is writing, so you’ll also be stuck buying their paper, ” Tuinier said. “Nuwa Pen can be used on any paper. ”
The Nuwa system is built around tiny design. The device weighs just 28 grams — about as much as a single AA battery — but provides enough power for two hours of continuous writing. Three tiny cameras are used to digitize the text with 2 mm×2 mm sensors. All the data is then processed directly on the device. “Capturing handwriting from these sensors in the pen itself, while a pen is constantly moving, is an extremely difficult task to get right — and we’ve done it, ” Tuinier said. By combining the trusty old ballpoint pen with the digital world, Nuwa hopes that it can solve one of those needs. The device is now available for pre-order.
82.What is the primary function of the Nuwa Pen
A.Intergrating pens with other apps. B.Organizing handwritten notes digitally.
C.Combining all apps into a single platform. D.Providing a solution for personal schedules.
83.Who is the Nuwa Pen’s main target buyer
A.People who prefer typing over handwriting.
B.People who show interest in smart ink refills.
C.People who have an extra budget for paper purchase.
D.People who appreciate traditional pen and paper writing.
84.Why does the author list a series of numbers in the last paragraph
A.To show how portable the device is. B.To explain the structure of the cameras.
C.To demonstrate the device’s operating time. D.To describe the materials used in the device.
85.What is the author’s attitude towards the Nuwa Pen
A.Doubtful. B.Uncertain. C.Neutral. D.Enthusiastic.
2.(2025·湖南省娄底市娄底市名校联盟高三月考)In Mirabella, a 20-storey “university retirement community” at Arizona State University (ASU), a group of men and women sit attentively in class, writing notes or taking photos of the slides. But the hearing aids hint at how unusual this class is. Mirabella is home to over 300 retirees. When it opened in 2020, the senior-living facility was nearly fully subscribed. Most residents get a university pass, which allows them to attend the same classes and cultural events as students, without having to take exams. Golf trucks can drive them around the campus, though many are still fit enough to mountain bike.
In their dorms, restaurants serve good food and the facilities include an art studio, a pool and gym, and a games room. Only the second floor feels institutional, with a memory-care centre and rooms for residents who need round-the-clock attention. This is part of a wider trend. An estimated 85 colleges in America provide some forms of senior living. The idea sprang from two college presidents who wanted to retire on campus in the 1980s. Today, universities offer senior-living arrangements, with as many as 20,000 older Americans living like this.
With more than 10,000 baby-boomers in America turning 65 every day, the opportunity for alternative forms of retirement is pared with previous generations, boomers are wealthy, educated and picky. They want to remain active, stimulated and not locked away. These wishes can all be met on a university campus.
For universities, welcoming retirees can make sense, too. Nationally, undergraduate enrolment has dropped. The smartest universities provide continued care-including for the very last stage of life. Bill, an 80-year-old former newspaper editor, moved to Mirabella with his wife two years ago. They have made friends with residents and with younger students. “Being among young people is really invigorating,” said Bill. At a discussion group about AI, one of the topics was whether a lifespan of 200 or 250 years would be desirable. “The 20-year-olds were enthusiastic,” he reflected, but those in their 70s and 80s had some reservations.
7.What implies the difference of the group of people attending class in Mirabella
A.They don’t take notes in class. B.They take photos of the lectures.
C.Some of them wear hearing aids. D.They have their own institutions.
8.What’s the trend described in the text
A.Colleges provide senior living services. B.Senior professors remain active in class.
C.Baby-boomers have changed social norms. D.Seniors come back to class for education.
9.What does the underlined word “invigorating” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Astonishing. B.Demanding. C.Depressing. D.Inspiring.
10.How does the author view the universities’ welcome of retirees
A.Negatively. B.Positively. C.Indifferently. D.Objectively.
3.(2025·安徽省阜阳市高三教学质量统测)Meta has announced third-party AR filters (滤镜) will no longer be available on its apps, including Instagram, as of January 2025.
Filters have become a key feature on Instagram. The most popular of these — which often involve beautifying the user’s appearance — are created by users themselves via the Meta Spark Studio. However, the use of beautifying AR filters has long been connected to worsened mental health and body image problems in young women.
So, why wait until now to remove a popular but controversial (有争议的) technology In April 2024, Meta added a US $35-40 billion investment in the technology and is pulling AR technology in-house. Filters will not be going away altogether on Instagram. First-party filters created by Meta will continue to be available. At present, the 140 filters available on Instagram’s official account are insignificant compared to the library of millions of filters created by third-parties and these official filters do not feature any beautifying ones.
The removal of third-party filters will see complex and realistic beautifying filters gone from Meta platforms. However, this is hardly cause for celebration.
Now, after having access to AR filters on Instagram for seven years, users are even more habituated to their presence. They also have many more alternatives to access a version of the technology inside another app.
When people post with a filter on Instagram, a watermark that links to the filter and its creator appears on the image. This watermark is important to assist users in determining whether someone’s appearance is changed or not. Some users get around the watermark by downloading their filtered photo, and re-uploading it so their filtered appearance is more difficult to detect. By removing popular beauty filters from Instagram, this practice will become the default (默认的) way for users to post with these filters on the platform.
The removal of beauty filters on Instagram will not stop their use. Instead, it will drive users to other platforms to access filters. These filters will be more sophisticated and harder to detect when they are re-posted cross platform, without the benefit of having the watermark indicator.
5.What change has Meta made to its AR strategy
A.It will release beautifying filters in the near future.
B.It has reduced the variety of third-party filters available.
C.It has decided to develop AR technology independently.
D.It will continue investing in third-party filter development.
6.What might Meta’s decision about AR filters lead to
A.Higher quality of third-party filters. B.Enhanced regulation on AR technology.
C.Users’ greater reliance on alternative apps. D.Users’ increasing use of Meta’s official filters.
7.What can be inferred about Instagram’s watermark
A.It seems to be ineffective. B.It brings users lots of trouble.
C.It’s hard to notice by one’s eyes. D.It’s a good way to prevent identity theft.
8.What is the author’s attitude to Meta’s decision on AR filters
A.Tolerant. B.Unclear. C.Favorable. D.Doubtful.

3.(2025·甘肃临夏州高中高三期末质量检测)Perhaps you’ve seen a giant sculpture of a fork, and wondered, how on Earth is this art I’ll bet you didn’t dare ask it out loud, for fear of looking awkward. Luckily for us, Bianca Bosker is willing to dive into the art world in Get the Picture, where she explores the spiritual richness art itself provides.
She sets out to develop what art lovers call an “Eye” a keen perception (感知) to separate the “good” art from the“bad”. She finds out that the art world can be tough for people who can’t afford art school and there’s a lot of mean behavior from those at the top.
Even though Bosker’s experiences might make you feel less sure about art, she keeps looking deeper and finds out that art can make people happy, whether they’re creating it or just looking at it.
While expanding on the meaning of art, Bosker demonstrates that our brains have a “filter (过滤器)” that helps us quickly understand the world around us. This filter lets us ignore some things and focus on others. This filter allows us to take mental shortcuts and dismiss certain visual details to rapidly process our chaotic environment.
One function of art, Bosker writes, is to remove this filter to reexamine the world with renewed wonder. Art has a curing quality, a fact that’s seized upon by doctors who will ask the patients to visit art museums. Over two dozen medical schools require students to study paintings to avoid jumping to conclusions. Instead of lecturing from an authoritative angle, Bosker lets readers witness at eye level her growing clarity of art’s function.
In the end, readers don’t get a complete answer for humankind’s fascination with art. Bosker instead offers her own interpretation: Art is a way to find beauty and heighten our appreciation for life. In laying bare the truth of an “Eye”. Bosker argues that art is everywhere and can be anything, as long as we’re open to letting what we see move us. By the last page, you’ll be forced to revisit that fork sculpture and behold the artwork with fresh eyes.
4.What is the main purpose of Get the Picture
A.To criticize the sculpture art world. B.To prove that art has no spiritual value.
C.To explain how to appreciate art. D.To argue that art has no curing quality.

1.(2025·山东省德州市优高联盟九校联考高三月考)You may regard a wave as a common gesture, but what happens when you wave to your European friend across the street and she turns to walk the other way
It isn't because your friend is tired of your company. While most Americans interpret a wave as a friendly greeting or goodbye, the same movement is just as likely to express no in parts of Europe and Latin America. The same dissonance is true of other signals: showing the number two by holding up two fingers with the palm facing inward is inoffensive in most of the world, but it's a rude gesture in the United Kingdom and Australia.
The most common understanding of the subject relates body language to spoken language. Gestures with specific meanings, while informally called “body language, belong to the field of kinesics(人体动作学), an area of study that distinguishes these movements from instinctive actions, such as smiling when happy. Developed by Ray Birdwhistell in the 1950s, kinesics uses the building blocks of linguistics to understand how gestures produce meaning. As the units of sound that form spoken words are called phonemes(音素), the units of movement that form kinesic gestures are called kinemes—and, as the same phoneme can communicate a different meaning across languages, the same kineme can also communicate different meanings in different cultures or contexts. For example, the thumbs-up kineme indicates praise in North America, but it means something extremely rude in Australia.
There's one more mess in understanding nonverbal communication, though. Although body language isn't universal, the emotions behind it may be. In a study performed by American researcher Paul Ekman, participants from the West, insular African communities, and New Guinea were shown a collection of more than 10,000 images illustrating different facial expressions. When 90 percent of participants regardless of cultural background, identified the same emotions in the photos, Ekman concluded that there were at least seven universal facial expressions: anger, disgust, fear, surprise, happiness, sadness, and contempt.
6.What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean
A.Comparison. B.Disharmony. C.Theory. D.Discomfort.
7.What is the similarity between body and spoken language
A.They can be divided into the field of kinesics together.
B.They are based on movements from instinctive actions.
C.They convey different meanings with the same element.
D.They can unite people in different countries and regions.
8.How did Paul Ekman reach his conclusion
A.By interviewing participants from diverse backgrounds.
B.By asking participants to show many facial expressions.
C.By observing how participants reacted to those images.
D.By judging if participants recognized the same emotions.
9.What might be discussed in the following text
A.Other types of facial expressions. B.Applications of facial expressions.
C.Drawbacks of Paul Ekman's study. D.Forms of nonverbal communication.
2.(2025·山东省济宁市高三上学期1月期末)People’s tendency to follow trends, especially on social media — even when they look silly or take risks doing so — is definitely a common phenomenon. What does psychology say about trend following — and is there a way to break free from the desire to follow the newest craze
According to Psychologist Pamela B.Rutledge, following trends isn’t a sign of character weakness or mental instability. Rather, it is an entirely natural behavior embedded in humanity’s fundamental need to belong to a social group and establish connections with others.
Historically, following trends was crucial for our survival. Archaeologists have uncovered evidence that early humans worked together to transport stone tools over long distances about two million years ago in what is now Kenya — cooperation that allowed them to survive in a severe environment. And though following a trend on social media isn’t exactly as important as outrunning a saber-toothed tiger, human evolution has programmed our brains to be receptive to social signals.
Another contributing factor the social cognition (认知) — the processes that determine what we notice and how we respond to others — largely takes place in the parts of the brain that oversee sight, pattern recognition, decision-making, empathy, and similar functions. “Thanks to our humans’ complex cognitive systems, our brains are really good at identifying patterns and stimulating behavior that communicates our social status. As a result, you can use almost anything to signal your membership or affiliation with a social group. Giving off the right social signals lets others know which group you belong to or want to engage with — and those signals are monitored and interpreted by others. Referred to as identity signaling, these behaviors can range from putting a bumper sticker on a car to selecting a brand of clothing,” said Rutledge.
Almost everyone follows trends in social groups, without exception. However, tweens, teenagers, and young adults are especially likely to follow trends, including risky ones, due to their heightened desire for acceptance and belonging among peers. Therefore, it’s of great significance to guide them during their journey towards maturity.
1.What does Rutledge think of following trends
A.Changeable. B.Reasonable. C.Odd. D.Risky.
2.Why did early humans prefer to follow trends
A.To remove mental weakness. B.To show their social status.
C.To live through difficulties. D.To expand their population.
3.What is the hidden meaning of identity signaling
A.Good taste in fashion. B.Blind pursuit of novelty.
C.A true reflection of personality. D.A keen thirst for belonging.
4.What will the follow-up paragraph most probably talk about
A.Tips on embracing trends sensibly. B.Insights into forthcoming trends.
C.Parental guidance in kids’ future jobs. D.Psychology behind trend adoption.
Passage 1
1.(2025·广东省深圳市罗湖区高三期末)I have been studying the French language for three years. This field of study has been the hardest but most precious of my life. I would put it above the study of writing simply because I started writing as a 6-year-old boy under my mother’s guidance. I always “felt” I could write. I did not always “feel” I could study a foreign language effectively.
But here I am, right now, in a French hotel. I spoke French at the border, when I checked in and when I went to get lunch. I fail to speak with fluency. I mishear words. I can’t really use complicated grammar. But my words are perfectly understandable and serve their purpose. I feel, as I always do, like I am lost in the dark, but with each misstep, I find my way more clearly. I didn’t feel it when reading French novels; I didn’t feel it at school. I just felt it when I first arrived Paris.
I’m emphasizing feelings because, when studying, they are as important as any reality. The fear of making mistakes feeds the hopeless and makes learners quit. It is not the study of language that is hard. It is the feelings of who you are at the present level and pessimistic belief of who you will always be that make it hard. The transformation to turn struggles into growth is what truly makes learning a life-changing journey.
Maybe one day, someone will say something to me that I do not understand, and in that moment. I may feel a bit discouraged. But now, I feel a sense of being high. These moments of confidence and motivation are precious, for they remind me of how far I’ve come. They are not the norm (常态), though. The truth is, the lows are what I encounter more often. They are part of the learning process, part of the transformation that shapes us into better versions of ourselves. And yet, it is through these lows that I am constantly learning and growing.
1.How does the author feel about making mistakes in French
A.Awkward. B.Hopeless. C.Competent. D.Rewarding.
2.Why does the author emphasize feelings
A.To highlight his struggles in learning French.
B.To show that positive thinking can drive growth.
C.To illustrate that people should follow their hearts.
D.To clarify his experience in mindset transformation.
3.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.The lows are always followed by highs.
B.Feeling confident should be made a norm.
C.Struggles are an essential part of learning.
D.The ups are the real times when learning occurs.
4.Which statement might the author probably agree with
A.Fail again, fail better. B.Stay grounded, work for greatness.
C.Accept the lows, wait for the chance. D.Be courageous, explore the unknown.
