1．（2025 金水区校级三模） The United Nations（UN） has decided that 2025 is the year of glacier preservation（冰川保护）.It has also set March 21，2025，as the first annual World Day for Glaciers.This event encourages everyone to help save glaciers.
▲What are glaciers？
You can imagine glaciers as slowly moving ice and snow on land.Over time，the snow adds up and turns into glacier ice.Glaciers have shaped mountains and valleys over Earth's history.They are still moving and changing land in many places today.
▲
Glaciers are not just necessary for the land.When glaciers melt（融化），the nutrients（养料） from the water are good for life in rivers and oceans.
In some places，glaciers provide water for people and animals.The UN says there are about 200，000 glaciers in the world，covering 10 percent of the land.They also hold 70 percent of Earth's fresh water.In areas like the Himalayas，many people need glacier water to live.This water fills big rivers，such as the Indus，Ganges and Brahmaputra.
▲Why are glaciers disappearing？
Climate change is leading to serious problems for glaciers.Many glaciers have disappeared.The atmosphere（大气层）around the Earth is like the glass of a greenhouse，letting sunlight in and keeping most heat from getting out.This natural process makes Earth warm enough for life.But when we burn fuels such as wood and coal，we produce a gas called carbon dioxide（CO2）.Too much of this gas pollutes the atmosphere and causes it to keep in too much heat.As the Earth's temperature is increasing，glaciers melt faster than they can recover.
▲The influence of glaciers disappearing.
If glaciers disappear，there will be less water for us to drink and farm，while floods may happen more often due to melting ice.It would also be bad for animals and plants.Mountains with glaciers are home to special ecosystems and a large number of the world's amphibians，birds and mammals.As temperatures rise and glaciers melt，these habitats become not fit for living.They may need to move higher up the mountains.

2．（2025 沙坪坝区校级模拟） In 1903，the Wright brothers' historic flight opened the door to human aviation（航天）.Since then，over the past century，human has been always reaching new heights in researching the skies.Today，a new chapter is unfolding in the skies—one led by drones that are changing how we live，work，and connect.
As part of the"low﹣altitude economy"（低空经济），these flying machines have become a sign of technological progress，fitting smoothly into both city and country life.
Take the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing as an example，where drones have turned a50﹣minute hike for food and water into a three﹣minute convenience.Travelers now order on the phone，and electric drones deliver（递送）snacks and drinks，even collecting garbage on their return trips.Besides，in cities like Shenzhen，known as the"City of Drones，"technology goes further.In 2024，electric"air cars"that can take off and land upright started flying there.They don't need long runways，showing how technology can become part of daily life.
Drones are also changing farming.In Guangxi，over 250，000 drones help protect plants.They watch over crops，spray pesticides（杀虫剂），and find pests，working quickly across large fields.This technology has cut labor costs by 40% compared to traditional methods，allowing farmers to manage more land with less effort.During harvest seasons，drones even help watch over fruit growth，guiding farmers to pick at the best time for better quality and higher yields（产量）.
With such new technology，there are things to think about.As more drones fly，questions about safety，airspace rules，and personal information might come up.How can we make sure these machines fly safely with other planes？How do we balance space of use with protecting people's space？Even if high﹣tech GPS helps drones fly in a right way，rules must be developed to help use them without risks.
From delivering snacks on the Great Wall to helping farms and cities，Chinese drones have gone from a new thing to a need.They show how creation can shorten the gap——between old and new，city and country.As we step into this low﹣altitude revolution（变革），one thing is clear：The tomorrow is not just about flying higher，but about flying smarter.
（1）How does the writer start the passage？ 　 　
A.By describing a future plan.
B.By talking about a historic event.
C.By raising a recent problem.

A.The"air cars"in Shenzhen will replace traditional cars in the future.
B.Farmers now need more workers to control drones in the fields.
C.Farmers can use drones to watch fruit growth and pick fruits directly.
D.Proper rules are the key to making drones more helpful.

3．（2025 无锡三模） ①Imagine watching a movie in a foreign language or attending a lecture where the speaker talks fast，the subtitles （字幕） appear directly on your glasses.Isn't that amazing？
②Recently，an ordinary yet "magical" pair of glasses—the AR Smart Glasses—has hit the market，which goes far beyond regular translation tools by offering hands﹣free，screen﹣free，real﹣time interactive translation.
③The AR Smart Glasses are lightweight and comfortable to wear.They look just like regular glasses，but the "magic" hidden within them can't be ignored （忽视）.
④The coolest feature of the AR Smart Glasses is their special translator.When people talk with someone，they can just point the glasses' camera at the person they're talking to，and the translation appears on the screen.When people visit a new city wearing AR Smart Glasses，they can simply look at any text，and a translation quickly appears in their view.If they get lost and need directions，the glasses can connect with GPS apps and show them translated directions right in front of their eyes.Even for language learners，it would be wonderful to practice a new language by seeing the words they hear being translated simultaneously.Learning a language can become quicker，easier，and more certain.
⑤Since translation tools like the AR Smart Glasses help people understand words easily，some people start to question whether it's still necessary to learn English，or，any other foreign languages.In fact，knowing a new language is more than just that.When you speak a language fluently，you understand the way people talk，the jokes they make，and the special meanings behind their words.This helps you connect with people better and make real friends.Also，being able to speak more than one language makes you smarter.It helps you think in new ways and solve problems more easily.In a word，learning a language isn't just about understanding words.More importantly，it's about real connections with native speakers and a different point of view to see the world.
⑥So，even though AR Smart Glasses and other cool tools can help with translations，the real joy and benefits of knowing a language come from speaking it fluently and understanding its culture.
（1）What does the underlined word "simultaneously" mean？ 　 　
A.快速地
B.同步地
C.准确地
D.间断地
（2）What can't the AR Smart Glasses do according to the passage？ 　 　
A.Translate when people are talking.
B.Translate the text people see.
C.Provide translated directions when people get lost.
D.Teach people to speak a foreign language fluently.
（3）What's the structure of the passage？ 　 　
A. ①/②/③④/⑤⑥
B. ①②/③④/⑤⑥
C. ①②③/④/⑤/⑥
D. ①/②③④/⑤/⑥
（4）What is the main idea of the passage？ 　 　
A.To introduce the features and functions of AR Smart Glasses.
B.To discuss whether it's necessary to learn foreign languages in the age of translation tools.
C.To encourage people to use AR Smart Glasses.
D.To show the importance of language﹣learning apps.
4．（2025 南京模拟） Plastic is low﹣cost and long﹣lasting.It is not easily degraded （降解） because natural degradation processes can't deal with its chemical components （成分）.It takes in other ocean﹣present harmful substances.These chemical and dangerous components are gradually got into the atmosphere with additives such as colors which turns out to be really harmful when the plastic breaks down.
The design and development of new plastic products was sped up after World War Ⅱ.Life without plastic seemed impossible in the modern age.But even though plastic was quite convenient，the dark side of it was seen as people began to enjoy the throw﹣away community.Many plastic products，such as plastic bags，have a lifetime of a few minutes to hours.However，they'll stay in the environment for hundreds of years.We are destroying the very world that nurtured us.
Just 9% of plastic has been recycled and 12% burnt after production rose in the 1950s，which leaves about 79% of the 8.3 billion tons produced sitting in landfills （垃圾填埋场） or damaging our fields，oceans，and waterways.And each year the plastic ends up as contaminants.So to beat plastic pollution，we need to work together.
While plastic burning reduces the amount of waste dumped into oceans and lands，harmful gases are still produced，which also leads to greenhouse gases.However，if we make a firm decision and use modern waste management methods，we will be able to create a safe and healthy world.It is high time that we as responsible global citizens，took on the duty of protecting our environment and made great effort in saving our mother earth，instead of just leaving everything to our government.So，ladies and gentlemen，let's make a promise to successfully deal with plastic waste and protect our world from all possible risks.
（1）What is paragraph 1 mainly about？ 　 　
A.The harm of plastic.

5．（2025 江阴市二模） ①Have you ever talked to your phone and ended up feeling lonelier？Chen，a 14﹣year﹣old student，shared her story.After failing a math test，she turned to ChatGPT for comfort.At first，she felt better.But later，she found herself avoiding conversations with friends and spending more time alone with her phone.In fact，her story is not alone.
②Recently，two studies，one by OpenAI and the other by the MIT Media Lab，found that people who had very personal and emotional conversations with ChatGPT usually felt lonelier.They might depend on this AI tool more emotionally，and have fewer friends in real life.But we don't know if ChatGPT makes them feel lonely，or if lonely people just like to talk to it to feel better.These studies are just the beginning.
③Researchers also found something interesting about different kinds of chatbots （聊天机器人）.At first，voice﹣based chatbots seemed to help people feel less lonely than text﹣based ones.But the more people used the voice﹣based chatbots，the less this advantage lasted.After using ChatGPT for four weeks，female users seemed to go out and meet people less often compared to male users.Also，when users used ChatGPT's voice mode with a different gender （性别），they felt much lonelier and depended on the chatbot more at the end of the study.
④These findings are similar to an earlier study in 2023.MIT Media Lab researchers found that chatbots usually answer in a way that's like the feelings in the users' messages.If the users are happy，the chatbots will give happy answers，acting as "emotional mirrors".
⑤Dr Andrew Rogoyski from the Surrey Institute for People said that AI chatbots can be "dangerous". "We need to do more research to know how they influence our social and emotional lives." He said， "I think we're doing something like operating on people's minds without knowing what will happen in the long run.We've seen some bad things about social media，and this could be even worse."
⑥Will AI become a helpful tool or a silent trap？The answer remains unclear，but one thing is certain—we need to think further about how technology shapes our hearts and relationships before it's too late.
（1）Why does the writer mention Chen in paragraph ①？ 　 　
A.To share a story.
B.To discuss a method.
C.To answer the question.
D.To introduce the subject.
（2）What did the studies find about ChatGPT？ 　 　
A.Lonely people like to talk to ChatGPT to feel better.
B.Female users have more social activities than male users.
C.The answers from chatbots depend on the feelings of users.

（3）The following sentence can best be put at the end of 　 　 .
However：they make us think about：How does ChatGPT change our real lives？
A.Paragraph ①
B.Paragraph ②
C.Paragraph ③
D.Paragraph ④
（4）What's the main idea of the passage？ 　 　
A.ChatGPT can act as an "emotional mirror" to match users' feelings .
B.ChatGPT can be dangerous because it influences our work and study.
C.AI chatbots may become a helpful tool to make people feel less lonely.
D.AI chatbots may harm human social relationships and need further study.

7．（2025 深圳二模） Humans love to give things names.We name our children，our pets and sometimes even our cars.But according to scientists，we may not be the only ones.Research has suggested that elephants，just like us，use names to call each other.
Elephants communicate using sounds.Besides their famous trumpeting noise，they also use a kind of low sounds that humans can't hear.The researchers collected a lot of elephant sounds in Africa.They used machine learning to study the noises they heard and identified 469 special elephant"calls".
The leader of the research said that elephants have specific calls for each other.They respond when a call is addressed to them and pay little attention to the call for others.The researchers also found that elephants don't always use names when communicating with each other.They do it more often when they are far apart and when adults are talking to young elephants.Adults are found to use names more often than the young.It suggests that name﹣calling may be a skill that has to be learned over time.
The researchers tested the findings by playing elephant calls to a small group of the animals.In the test，the elephants responded actively when they heard recordings of their family members calling their names.This provides evidence to show that elephants can recognize their names.
The study opens a door into how elephants' mind works.If we can know how they communicate，we may be able to communicate with them more directly and live with them better.
（1）How does the writer introduce the topic？ 　 　
A.By telling a story.
B.By mentioning a study.

A.Advice.
B.Safety.
C.Support.
D.Service.
（5）What is the main idea of the article？ 　 　
A.Elephants can communicate with humans.
B.Elephants have a good memory.

Many aspects of farming are difficult，says mathematician Estelle Basor.She's director of the American Institute of Mathernaties in Palo Alto in Northern California.Farmers face a lot of unknowns，including weather，pests and an idea in economies（经济学） called supply and demand.Farmers may，for example，grow more strawberries than their customers are ready to buy（or demand）.So，to use up the supply，they end up selling their strawberries at lower prices.If prices fall too low，farmers don't make enough to cover the cost of growing crops.Basor works with other mathematicians to come up with methods to help farmers make decisions about what to grow，and especially how to reduce water use.
Farms in Califonia，including those in the Pajaro Valley，produce about 80 percent of the fresh strawberries you can buy in American supermarkets.In most recent years，however，Califoria has suffered a drought.The Pajaro Valley and other areas of the state are feeling the effects of the shortage of rainfall.
Pajaro Valley farmers draw their water from an underground aquifer（含水层）.The trouble is that they have been pumping water out of the aquifer faster than it can be replaced by rainfall，and the drought has made things even worse.Many farmers are wondering whether they can switch to crops that use less water but that people will still buy.
The mathematicians started by collecting information on water use，crop prices，and other variables.They then programmed computers to，in fact，play a game.The goal was to find the combination of crops that would produce the highest profit（收益） using the least amount of water﹣all while meeting customer demand.This approach is an example of a mathematical strategy called optimization.
The first version modeled（模拟）a 100﹣acre farm，planted with various combinations of five different crop types.On this virtual farm，raspberries，which use less water，proved to be more profitable than strawberries.
The researchers have been checking with farmers to see whether their model offers reasonable results，and so far the response is encouraging.They hope that their model will eventually help farmers all across the country，whether they are growing corn in Iowa or soybeans in South Carolina.

13．（2025 南山区二模） Everywhere I look，new buildings are rising up.The old neighborhoods from my childhood，once filled with historic houses，are disappearing.People are replacing them with tall modern buildings because they want the comforts of modern life.
But here's a problem：How can young people learn about their cultural heritage if old buildings are destroyed？Saving old buildings isn't just about missing the past.It also makes good economic sense.Restoring historic areas can develop economy by attracting tourists and small businesses.For example，Dubai's Al Bastikiya area draws many visitors and locals who want to learn about the city's history.
Some say saving old buildings is too expensive，but this isn't true.Fixing an old building for new uses can be cheaper than building a new one.New buildings require materials to be transported long distances，which harms the environment.Old buildings reuse materials already there，making them eco﹣friendly.
We recycle paper and plastic in our daily lives，and the same principle should be applied to buildings.Saving old ones creates opportunities，but breaking them down is forever.Once gone，they can't be replaced，and we lose a piece of our history.Choosing to save or destroy isn't just about money﹣it's about protecting our heritage.
（1）What drives people to replace old buildings with new ones？ 　 　
A.Their dislike of old buildings.
B.Their pride in cultural identity.
C.Their concern about young generations.
D.Their desire for modern comforts.
（2）What does the example of Al Bastikiya show？ 　 　
A.Fixing old buildings costs much money.
B.Local governments support small businesses.
C.Historic protection brings economic growth.
D.International tourism promises economic recovery.
（3）Why does the author compare recycling buildings to recycling paper/plastic？ 　 　
A.To prove recycling is easy in our daily lives.
B.To show that old things should be reused.
C.To explain why new buildings are better.
D.To encourage people to recycle paper and plastic.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards old buildings' protection？ 　 　
A.Positive.
B.Doubtful.
C.Disappointed.
D.Uncertain.
（5）What is the main idea of the passage？

15．（2025 南山区二模） As artificial intelligence（AI）becomes more common in everyday life，it's also being used more in creative areas.From Feb 20 to March 5，Christie's，a well﹣known auction house（拍卖行），held its first﹣ever sale of AI﹣generated artworks.
These artworks were created using machine learning.During the auction，an artist even used AI to create a live painting.According to the auction house's description，the event aimed to explore how humans and AI work together in art.However，the move angered many artists，with an online petition（请愿书）calling for the auction's cancellation getting more than 6，400 signatures（签名），reported NBC News.They argued that AI models used copyrighted art without permission and called it "stealing human creativity".
People question what counts as a real"work of art"and what defines creativity.Marcus du Sautoy，author of The Creativity Code：Art and Innovation in the Age of AI，suggests that the machine learning processes used to train AI may themselves be a form of creativity."Code（代码）connected to data.…is able to learn and evolve，"Du Sautoy told the BBC."This means that there is a chance for the code to produce something that deserves to be called the creativity of the code."
While others disagree，saying artists still control the process by adjusting data and guiding the AI.
Throughout the process，AI functioned more as a partner.
Do you think AI art marks the end of creativity or the beginning of a new movement？

16．（2025 佛山模拟） Brains help animals think and solve problems，but growing a big brain takes a lot of energy and time.Not all animals can develop large brains through natural selection（选择）.Scientists studied 1，176 kinds of birds and found that parental care has the biggest influence on brain size.
Birds like chickens and ducks can move around soon after breaking out of eggs.But others，like parrots and songbirds，are born blind，weak and helpless.They have no choice but to completely depend on their parents for survival.These birds can get long﹣term care and food，which can promote brain development because more energy goes into brain growth.
This bigger brain helps birds learn faster and act smarter.For example，crows can use sticks to get food.__▲__These abilities are connected to their bigger brains.Parental care not only gives young birds the food they need but also keeps them safe while they grow and learn.
Parental care isn't just important for birds.The study finds that when parents take care of their babies，it helps their brains grow better﹣﹣not just in humans，but also in many other animals.Just like birds，human babies need years of care and food to grow large brains.Without enough care，their brains may not develop well.This research helps us understand why parental care is so important in natural selection﹣﹣it allows animals to grow smarter brains and better adapt to（应对）challenges.
To learn more，scientists now plan to study how human brains developed with similar care over time.
（1）What's the key for birds' brain growth？ 　 　
A.Groups living.
B.Food support.
C.Parental caring.
D.Natural selection.
（2）What does the underlined word"promote" mean in paragraph 2？

17．（2025 梁溪区校级一模） Do you know full confidence in your memory？Look at the two pictures and choose the one which you think is correct.Then check with the answer.
Answer：The one on the right is correct.Pikachu never had a black tail in any of its various versions.Its yellow tail does have brown fur at its base，but there is no sign of black fur on its tail.There has been a discussion about whether it is shi or si in the sentence. "Thus when Heaven is about to confer a great office on any man …"
Most people voted si as what they learned at school.However，People's Education Press （PEP），a leading publisher of Chinese textbooks，claimed on Oct.26 that all its textbooks say shi.Supporters of si feel shocked and say they've experienced the "Mandela Effect"—the situation in which a large number of people believe that an event happened when it didn't.
Many people believed that former South African president Nelson Mandela died in the 1980s in prison.However，Mandela was alive and well，finally passing away in 2013.US researcher Fiona Broome created a website to detail her discovery of this public phenomenon （现象）， coining the term which has been in use till now.
Some often joke that our memories have been changed by a strange force.In fact，psychologists have looked into the reasons for the Mandela Effect，as reported on the US﹣based website Verywell Mind.
For example，your mind may fill in gaps missing in your memory to make more sense of it，which is called confabulation （虚构症）.However，try not to feel bad—this is not lying，but rather remembering details that never happened.
The Internet may be another reason why we tend to have Mandela Effect events，as the news we read can be false from the beginning.In 2018，Science Journal published a study of over 100，000 news stories discussed across Twitter.It showed that false news can spread faster and reach more people than the truth.As a powerful way to spread information，the Internet might be the main reason for falsehoods to enter our minds.
（1）Why does the writer mention the discussion about the sentence in Paragraph 2？ 　 　
A．To solve a mystery of Mandela Effect.
B．To raise readers' interest in confabulation.
C．To introduce the topic of the Mandela Effect.
D．To discuss which word is the right one，si or shi.
（2）Which of the following words has the closest meaning to "coining" in Paragraph 4？ 　 　
A．creating
B．borrowing
C．describing
D．correcting
（3）What is the "Mandela Effect" about？ 　 　
A．Attitudes to a special event.
B．A kind of psychological effect.
C．The benefit of good memory.
D．The effect of Mandela's death.
（4）What can we infer from the passage？ 　 　
A．Most people know the former South African president Mandela well.
B．The word si or shi both existed in Chinese textbooks published by the PEP.
C．If you can tell the right Pikachu，you will never suffer from the Mandela Effect.
D．If you remember details that never happened，you may experience the Mandela Effect.
18．（2025 大兴区一模） Human augmentation technologies are all around you.They are wearable and portable （便携的）.And they are so much a part of your daily life that you may not even notice them.
Do you，or any of your family and friends，wear eyeglasses？Glasses allow us to see further，in finer detail.Next，think about the phone in your pocket.Phones enable us to quickly connect with people far away and to get a large amount of information on the internet.They each strengthen our human abilities to a surprising degree.And yet，they are completely ordinary nowadays.
But，what about physical augmentation？Imagine something you could wear to make lifting easier or allow you to hold heavy tools without getting tired.What you are imagining is called an exoskeleton，or exo for short.Exos are wearable devices （装置） that support or augment movement or performance through physical work.
Work exos make physical jobs easier，or help improve a worker's physical performance or safety.Workers who do overhead tasks，like painting ceilings （天花板） can use arm exos to make these jobs less tiring and reduce their risk of shoulder injuries.This means workers can do their jobs without getting as tired or sore，which can improve work quality and well﹣being both at work and after work.
There are also exos to support many other tasks and body parts.There are exos for the back，hands，and legs.For example，delivery workers who load （装载） and unload boxes can use back exos to make lifting easier and less tiring.Doctors and nurses who need to stand for long periods of time can use leg exos to help support their body weight.Leg exos are also being developed for soldiers，firefighters，and mountaineers who may have to carry heavy equipment （设备） over long distances.
Exos are such a new technology that they are not yet widely used at work.But many experts expect that exos will become widely used in certain industries in the future.There is still more to learn scientifically about the longer﹣term effects of exos，but over the next ten years，the popularity of these wearable technologies is expected to grow rapidly.Exos might even become standard tools or safety equipment in certain jobs in the near future.
（1）Why does the writer use the example of glasses and phones in Paragraph 2？ 　 　
A.To show human augmentation are a part of our daily life.
B.To stress human augmentation can be carried easily.
C.To explain human abilities are weak in some fields.
D.To prove glasses and phones are very useful in our life.
（2）What does the underlined word "augment" in Paragraph 3 most probably mean？ 　 　
A.Stop.
B.Change.
C.Reduce.
D.Improve.
（3）Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with？ 　 　
A.Work exos can help workers earn more money.
B.Work exos can help workers do the jobs more safely.
C.Work exos can carry heavy equipment for firefighters.
D.Work exos can take the place of workers in the near future.
（4）What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage？ 　 　
A.To explain the importance of long﹣term effects of exos.

参考答案与试题解析
一．阅读理解（共20小题）
1．（2025 金水区校级三模） The United Nations（UN） has decided that 2025 is the year of glacier preservation（冰川保护）.It has also set March 21，2025，as the first annual World Day for Glaciers.This event encourages everyone to help save glaciers.
▲What are glaciers？
You can imagine glaciers as slowly moving ice and snow on land.Over time，the snow adds up and turns into glacier ice.Glaciers have shaped mountains and valleys over Earth's history.They are still moving and changing land in many places today.
▲
Glaciers are not just necessary for the land.When glaciers melt（融化），the nutrients（养料） from the water are good for life in rivers and oceans.
In some places，glaciers provide water for people and animals.The UN says there are about 200，000 glaciers in the world，covering 10 percent of the land.They also hold 70 percent of Earth's fresh water.In areas like the Himalayas，many people need glacier water to live.This water fills big rivers，such as the Indus，Ganges and Brahmaputra.
▲Why are glaciers disappearing？
Climate change is leading to serious problems for glaciers.Many glaciers have disappeared.The atmosphere（大气层）around the Earth is like the glass of a greenhouse，letting sunlight in and keeping most heat from getting out.This natural process makes Earth warm enough for life.But when we burn fuels such as wood and coal，we produce a gas called carbon dioxide（CO2）.Too much of this gas pollutes the atmosphere and causes it to keep in too much heat.As the Earth's temperature is increasing，glaciers melt faster than they can recover.
▲The influence of glaciers disappearing.
If glaciers disappear，there will be less water for us to drink and farm，while floods may happen more often due to melting ice.It would also be bad for animals and plants.Mountains with glaciers are home to special ecosystems and a large number of the world's amphibians，birds and mammals.As temperatures rise and glaciers melt，these habitats become not fit for living.They may need to move higher up the mountains.

【考点】说明文；环境保护．
【答案】CBDBA
【分析】本文主要讲述了冰川的形成、重要性、消失的原因以及冰川消失的影响，并呼吁人们保护冰川。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第三段You can imagine glaciers as slowly moving ice and snow on land.Over time，the snow adds up and turns into glacier ice.Glaciers have shaped mountains and valleys over Earth's history.They are still moving and changing land in many places today.（你可以把冰川想象成陆地上缓慢移动的冰雪。随着时间的推移，雪积聚起来，变成冰川冰。在地球历史上，冰川塑造了山脉和山谷。今天，他们仍然在许多地方移动和改变土地。）可知，冰川是由冰雪缓慢移动形成的，并且它们仍在改变地形。故选C。
（2）推理判断题。根据第五段Glaciers are not just necessary for the land.When glaciers melt（融化），the nutrients（养料） from the water are good for life in rivers and oceans.（冰川不仅仅是陆地所必需的。当冰川融化时，来自水中的养料对河流和海洋中的生命是有益的。）可知，该段主要讲述冰川的重要性。因此，空白处应填入一个与冰川重要性相关的句子。故选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据第八段The atmosphere（大气层）around the Earth is like the glass of a greenhouse，letting sunlight in and keeping most heat from getting out.（地球周围的大气层就像温室的玻璃，让阳光进来，阻止大部分热量出去。）可知，大气层像温室的玻璃一样，允许阳光进入并阻止大部分热量散失。故选D。
（4）细节理解题。根据最后一段If glaciers disappear，there will be less water for us to drink and farm，while floods may happen more often due to melting ice.It would also be bad for animals and plants.（如果冰川消失，供我们饮用和耕种的水将会减少，而由于冰川融化，洪水可能会更频繁地发生。这对动物和植物也不好。）可知，冰川消失会导致动植物生存环境恶化。故选B。
（5）主旨大意题。根据第一段This event encourages everyone to help save glaciers.（这个活动鼓励每个人帮助拯救冰川。）以及通读全文内容可知，文章的主要目的是呼吁人们保护冰川。故选A。
【点评】答阅读题时，先弄清楚短文的主旨大意和文章的脉络，然后在文章中找到对应的信息，再和选项作对比，得出正确答案。
2．（2025 沙坪坝区校级模拟） In 1903，the Wright brothers' historic flight opened the door to human aviation（航天）.Since then，over the past century，human has been always reaching new heights in researching the skies.Today，a new chapter is unfolding in the skies—one led by drones that are changing how we live，work，and connect.
As part of the"low﹣altitude economy"（低空经济），these flying machines have become a sign of technological progress，fitting smoothly into both city and country life.
Take the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing as an example，where drones have turned a50﹣minute hike for food and water into a three﹣minute convenience.Travelers now order on the phone，and electric drones deliver（递送）snacks and drinks，even collecting garbage on their return trips.Besides，in cities like Shenzhen，known as the"City of Drones，"technology goes further.In 2024，electric"air cars"that can take off and land upright started flying there.They don't need long runways，showing how technology can become part of daily life.
Drones are also changing farming.In Guangxi，over 250，000 drones help protect plants.They watch over crops，spray pesticides（杀虫剂），and find pests，working quickly across large fields.This technology has cut labor costs by 40% compared to traditional methods，allowing farmers to manage more land with less effort.During harvest seasons，drones even help watch over fruit growth，guiding farmers to pick at the best time for better quality and higher yields（产量）.
With such new technology，there are things to think about.As more drones fly，questions about safety，airspace rules，and personal information might come up.How can we make sure these machines fly safely with other planes？How do we balance space of use with protecting people's space？Even if high﹣tech GPS helps drones fly in a right way，rules must be developed to help use them without risks.
From delivering snacks on the Great Wall to helping farms and cities，Chinese drones have gone from a new thing to a need.They show how creation can shorten the gap——between old and new，city and country.As we step into this low﹣altitude revolution（变革），one thing is clear：The tomorrow is not just about flying higher，but about flying smarter.
