Song Yingxing was a Chinese scientist and encyclopedist (百科全书编纂者) who lived during the late Ming Dynasty. The British biochemist and historian Joseph Needham called him “The Diderot of China”.
Song Yingxing was born in Fengxin County in Jiangxi Province in 1587. He took part in the highest imperial examinations (科举考试) in Beijing six times, but failed to become a jinshi. After that, he decided to give up taking exams and turned to the practical knowledge of natural science. Then Song Yingxing spent four years teaching his students in his hometown.
Although it was a job like teaching, it was a very important stage in Song Yingxing’ life, because many of his works were written here. And Song Yingxing had been living in a secluded (隐居的) life in the past ten years. Because he didn’t want to be an official, Song Yingxing lived a very poor life in his later years.
He was the author of Tian Gong Kai Wu, an encyclopedia that covered a wide variety of technical subjects. As Joseph Needham has observed, the vast amount of accurately drawn illustrations in this encyclopedia dwarfed the amount provided in previous Chinese encyclopedias, making it a valuable written work in the history of Chinese literature. Tian Gong Kai Wu records all aspects of technology up to the mid-Ming period. The book constitutes a complete system of science and technology, and provides a systematic summary of ancient Chinese technology, the experience accumulated by China in agriculture, and China’s achievements in technology.
Many of the production techniques described in the book are still in use today. At the same time, Tian Gong Kai Wu broke from Chinese tradition by rarely referencing previous written work. It was instead written in a style strongly suggestive of personal experience. The book was translated into Japanese, French, English, German, Italian and Russian, and was widely circulated in Europe and Japan.
In addition, Song Yingxing had made great achievements in many fields. His research was very extensive. In physics, he studied the occurrence of sound and, finally concluded that sound is transmitted in the air.
24.What can we learn about Song Yingxing from the text
A. He adjusted the direction of life. B. He passed imperial examinations.
C. He received a science education. D. He dreamed to be a great scientist.
25. Which of the following can best describe Song’s teaching life
A. Busy but satisfactory. B. Significant and rewarding.
C. Comfortable but worthless. D. Challenging and intolerant.
26. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “dwarfed” in Paragraph 4
A. Take advantage of something. B. Apply something to practice.
C. Provide evidence of something. D. Make something seem smaller.
27. What is one of the features of Tian Gong Kai Wu
A. .It focused merely on agricultural technology.
B. It was written in multiple foreign languages.
C. It provided abundant first-hand experience
D. It largely referenced previous encyclopedias.
C
A worldwide study published last month in the journal Nature Climate Change found global warming responsible for 37 percent of heat-related deaths between 1991 and 2018. As temperatures climb ever higher, that figure may well rise.
The following is what happens if you’re one of the next people whom extreme heat kills, according to W. Lawrence Kenney, an expert at Penn State University.
First, your brain sends a series of messages to your sweat glands(腺) telling them to increase sweat production. Then your heart starts beating faster to pump blood to the skin while blood flow is also directed away from some of your internal organs. That’s your body attempting to make your skin hotter than the air outside, in hopes of creating a convection(对流) phenomenon that moves heat away from you. Sometimes that alone is enough to create problems for a weak or aging heart.
If heat attack occurs, your body might get so hot and shift so much oxygen-rich blood to the skin that it suffocates(窒息) those vital internal organs, which become oxygen-starved. Surviving the organ failure that follows might require an emergency transplant.
If your body fails to cool you down, its internal temperature might start to climb to somewhere closer to 104 degrees and 105 degrees. “These are the situations where people die of classical heat attack,” Kenney said.
At that temperature, the tissue s in the brain become affected. You may feel it start as a dull headache. Before long, you might not know where you are or what time it is. You might collapse. Left untreated, what follows is a series of organ failure that leads to all but certain death.
We are learning more about how to avoid overheating. The most likely guarantee against dying of extreme heat is preventing the rise of global temperatures. However, achieving that goal requires rapidly and dramatically reducing fossil fuel use and finding ways to remove more carbon from the atmosphere than we release. Efforts so far have remained awfully insufficient. Global oil demand, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries predicted last month, will jump greatly.
28. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The function of sweat glands. B. The body’s heat-loss principle.
C. The working principle of skin. D. The cause of an aging heart.
29. What directly claims people’s lives
A. Heat waves. B. Lack of oxygen. C. Dull headache. D. Organ failure.
30. How does the author feel about human’s current efforts to prevent global warming
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Disappointed. D. Satisfied.
31. What is a suitable title for the text
A. How Heat Waves Destroy the Human Body
B. Global Warming Leads to More Problems
C. How Extreme Weather Affects Our Life
D. Global Warming Attracts Public Attention
D
Let’s face it: we are influenced by AI algorithms(算法) when surfing the Internet on a daily basis.
If you think about it, almost anything you can possibly click on over the Internet wants to influence you in some way. Even if it’s not an advertisement and the goal isn’t literally to sell you a product or service, it wants to influence you somehow, whether it’s getting you to think something, feel something, or do something.
Behind every blogger, YouTube personality, and social media influencer, there are the companies that own the platforms these bloggers and influencers use: YouTube, Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and the rest. Generally speaking, the goal of these platforms is to keep users on them as often as possible for as long as possible and this increases the likelihood of those users clicking on targeted ads.
These platforms use the users’ data to serve the content most likely to arouse their emotions and keep them engaged. The kind of content that’s effective at keeping people engaged often happens to be emotionally charged: sensational(轰动的), controversial, or misinformative. Unfortunately, due to its massive computing power, AI is very good at understanding your psychology (often better than you do) and, therefore, using content that is most likely to “push your buttons”.
Obviously, AI itself has no emotions. It doesn’t “want” to influence you or to have power over you, but it does simply because, in the context of the Internet, that’s what it’s been programmed to do. The people who use AI as their tools are simply trying to accomplish the goal of any platform or company, which is to be profitable.
In a previous post, I wrote about being data literate. Well, the first step towards protecting yourself against AI’s influence is to be conscious of the fact that we live in an attention economy in which much of the business occurs between companies that want your attention and the content platforms that provide it to them.
32. What message does the author try to convey about social media in paragraph 3
A. It is developing rapidly. B. It enjoys great popularity.
C. It is trying to control us. D. It offers us a variety of choices.
33. What kind of content do the social media platforms favour (青睐) most
A. The content that creates value for users.
B. The content that causes emotional reactions.
C. The content that spreads positive energy.
D. The content that makes users feel satisfied.
34. Which of the following may be to blame according to the author
A. Social media platforms. B. Content creators.
C. Social media users. D. AI algorithms.
35. What will the author probably talk about in the paragraph that follows
A. How social media platforms work. B. How AI algorithms are influencing us.
C. Some negative effects of AI algorithms. D. Some measures to protect ourselves.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every time life knocks you down, just remember these actions to take, and you can heal and overcome the crisis quickly, returning to your life stronger and happier.
Accept reality. Instead of avoiding life, take the change as a challenge. You will eventually either get what you want. You don’t necessarily need to be in a place where there is no challenge or hard work. 36.________Once you manage to do that, you can handle anything that comes your way.
37.________After darkness always comes light, and every sunrise reminds you of this, but sometimes you still forget this fact and choose to believe that the night will last forever. It won’t, because nothing lasts forever. Every moment is a second chance to start fresh, so take this moment and make the best of it.
Push yourself to take another step whatever happens. Every mistake and loss contains within it the solution and the hidden lesson you need to discover and learn to function correctly the next time you face the same problem. Don’t let things outside your control interfere with the endless things within your control. 38.________
Be positive and don’t let negativity control you. You can either give in to negativity and let it take over your life, or you can be positive and focus on what truly matters. 39.________ Choose to be positive about your situation, your opportunities, and what you can do to move forward.
Find one small thing you can appreciate. If you have many reasons to cry and complain but choose to smile and appreciate life instead, you’re on the right path. Being thankful for the “ordinary” things in your life may seem strange. 40.________Think of all the beauty around you, notice it, and smile.
Look forward to a fresh start.
You need to embrace the changes and stay calm.
Instead, use those things to drive yourself forward.
In other words, don’t wait for a reason to be positive.
Remind yourself that everything in life is temporary.
Being positive in negative situations doesn’t mean being naive.
But only when you truly appreciate them can you make them extraordinary.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was invited to a cookout on an old friend’s farm in western Washington. I parked my car outside the farm and walked past a milking house which had apparently not been used in many years. A noise at a window caught my attention, so I entered it. It was a hummingbird (蜂鸟), desperately trying to escape. She was covered in spider-webs (蛛网) and was barely able to move her wings. She ceased her struggle the instant I picked her up. With the bird in my cupped hand, I looked around to see how she had gotten in. The broken window glass was the likely answer. I stuffed a piece of cloth into the hole and took her outside, closing the door securely behind me.
When I opened my hand, the bird did not fly away; she sat looking at me with her bright eyes. I removed the sticky spider-webs that covered her head and wings. Still, she made no attempt to fly. Perhaps she had been struggling against the window too long and was too tired Or too thirsty As I carried her up the blackberry-lined path toward my car where I kept a water bottle, she began to move. I stopped, and she soon took wing but did not immediately fly away. Hovering (悬停), she approached within six inches of my face. For a very long moment, this tiny creature looked into my eyes, turning her head from side to side. Then she flew quickly out of sight.
During the cookout, I told my hosts about the hummingbird incident. They promised to fix the window. As I was departing, my friends walked me to my car. I was standing by the car when a hummingbird flew to the center of our group and began hovering. She turned from person to person until she came to me. She again looked directly into my eyes, then let out a squeaking call and was gone. For a moment, all were speechless. Then someone said, “She must have come to say goodbye.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:A few weeks later, I went to the farm again.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared.

【原文】M: Research shows cats’ reputation as a cold pet is untrue. Because of their evolutionary ancestry, domestic cats are, by their nature, more independent than dogs. While they may not rely upon people to feel safe as dogs do, many cats show love towards their owners. Cats behave towards humans in the same way that they respond to other cats, so the secret of whether your cats feel bonded to you lies in their behavior.
One of the most obvious signs that your cats are fond of you is the way that they greet you. A tail held in the upright flagpole position shows a friendly intention, indicating familiarity and trust. Cats sometimes twist their tails together as a sign of friendship. They usually wrap their tails around people’s legs to show affection.
Rolling over and exposing their stomachs is another gesture that a cat has the greatest trust in you. This is not usually a request for a belly rub. Attempts to stroke a cat’s belly will often result in an escape.
Your cats might also secretly show their love in the way they look at you. When cats encounter strange humans or other cats they don’t know, they usually greet them with a stare. But they are likely to slowly blink at cats they have a good relationship with.

25.推理判断题。根据第三段的Although it was a job like teaching,it was a very important stage in Song Yingxing's life, because many of his works were written here.(虽然这是一份像教书一样的工作,但这是宋应星人生中一个非常重要的阶段,因为他的许多作品都是在这里写的。)可知,宋老师的教学生活是有重要意义的,完成了许多作品说明他的教学生活有收获,是值得的。故选B。

文章大意 文章讲述了全球变暖使高温致死率上升,文章阐述极端高温下人体反应及致死过程,呼吁应对全球变暖。
题目来源 2025安徽省蚌埠市高三下学期适应性考试(必修三U1 Nature in the balance)
28-31 【答案】BDCA
28. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“First, your brain sends a series of messages to your sweat glands (腺) telling them to increase sweat production. Then your heart starts beating faster to pump blood to the skin while blood flow is also directed away from some of your internal organs. That’s your body attempting to make your skin hotter than the air outside, in hopes of creating a convection (对流) phenomenon that moves heat away from you. (首先,你的大脑会向汗腺发送一系列信息,告诉它们增加汗液的分泌。然后你的心脏开始跳动得更快,将血液输送到皮肤,同时血液也从你的一些内脏器官流走。这是你的身体试图让你的皮肤比外面的空气更热,希望能产生一种对流现象,将热量从你身上带走。)”可知,该段主要讲述了身体的散热原理。故选B项。
29. 细节理解题。根据第四段“If heat attack occurs, your body might get so hot and shift so much oxygen-rich blood to the skin that it suffocates (窒息) those vital internal organs, which become oxygen-starved. Surviving the organ failure that follows might require an emergency transplant.(如果发生中暑,你的身体可能会变得非常热,将大量富含氧气的血液转移到皮肤上,以至于使那些重要的内脏器官窒息,这些器官会缺氧。要在随后的器官衰竭中存活下来,可能需要紧急移植。)”以及第五段“If your body fails to cool you down, its internal temperature might start to climb to somewhere closer to 104 degrees and 105 degrees. “These are the situations where people die of classical heat attack,” Kenney said.(如果你的身体不能让你降温,它的内部温度可能会开始上升到接近 104 华氏度和105华氏度。“这些就是人们死于典型中暑的情况,”肯尼说。)”和第六段“Left untreated, what follows is a series of organ failure that leads to all but certain death.(如果不加以治疗,接下来就是一系列的器官衰竭,几乎肯定会导致死亡。)”可知,直接夺走人们生命的是器官衰竭。故选D项。
30. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We are learning more about how to avoid overheating. The most likely guarantee against dying of extreme heat is preventing the rise of global temperatures. However, achieving that goal requires rapidly and dramatically reducing fossil fuel use and finding ways to remove more carbon from the atmosphere than we release. Efforts so far have remained awfully insufficient. Global oil demand, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries predicted last month, will jump greatly.(我们对如何避免过热了解得越来越多。防止死于极端高温最有可能的保证是防止全球气温上升。然而,要实现这一目标,需要迅速大幅减少化石燃料的使用,并找到从大气中清除比我们排放的更多碳的方法。到目前为止,这些努力仍然远远不够。石油输出国组织上个月预测,全球石油需求将大幅增长。)”可知,作者认为目前防止全球变暖的努力远远不够,并且全球石油需求还将大幅增长,由此可推断作者对人类目前防止全球变暖的努力感到失望。故选C项。
31. 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The following is what happens if you’re one of the next people whom extreme heat kills, according to W. Lawrence Kenney, an expert at Penn State University.(宾夕法尼亚州立大学的专家 W 劳伦斯 肯尼说,如果你是下一个被极端高温致死的人,以下就是会发生的情况。)”以及下文对中暑时身体各个阶段变化的描述可知,文章主要讲述了热浪是如何破坏人体的。所以A选项How Heat Waves Destroy the Human Body (热浪是如何破坏人体的)适合作为文章标题。故选A项。
D

题目来源 2025湖南省长沙市南雅中学高三下学期三模(选必修二U4 Living with technology)
32-35【答案】 CBAD
32. 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Behind every blogger, YouTube personality, and social media influencer, there are the companies that own the platforms these bloggers and influencers use: YouTube, Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and the rest. Generally speaking, the goal of these platforms is to keep users on them as often as possible for as long as possible and this increases the likelihood of those users clicking on targeted ads.(在每个博主、YouTube名人和社交媒体影响者的背后,都有拥有这些博主和影响者使用的平台的公司:YouTube、Meta、TikTok、Instagram等。一般来说,这些平台的目标是让用户尽可能频繁地使用它们,从而增加这些用户点击目标广告的可能性)”可知,本段作者列举YouTube、Meta、TikTok、Instagram等这些社交媒体平台为例,主要说明它们在吸引我们的注意力,最终目的是增加我们点击广告的概率。由此可知,作者在本段想要传达的信息是社交媒体正试图控制我们。故选C。
33. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The kind of content that’s effective at keeping people engaged often happens to be emotionally charged: sensational (轰动的), controversial,or misinformative.(那些能有效吸引人们的内容往往是充满情感的:轰动的、有争议的或错误的信息)”可知,社交媒体上最能有效吸引用户的内容是那些轰动的、有争议的或错误的信息,这些内容有一个共同点,那就是能激发或煽动网友们的各种情绪反应,故选B。
34. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Obviously, AI itself has no emotions. It doesn’t “want” to influence you or to have power over you, but it does simply because, in the context of the Internet, that’s what it’s been programmed to do. The people who use AI as their tools are simply trying to accomplish the goal of any platform or company, which is to be profitable.(显然,人工智能本身没有情感。它并不“想要”影响你或对你有权力,但它这样做只是因为,在互联网的背景下,这就是它被编程的目的。使用人工智能作为工具的人只是试图实现任何平台或公司的目标,即盈利)”可知,作者认为,人工智能本身没有情感,也无意影响我们或者调动我们的情绪,真正试图操控和影响我们的是社交媒体平台以及背后的公司,且第三段中“Behind every blogger, YouTube personality, and social media influencer, there are the companies that own the platforms these bloggers and influencers use: YouTube, Meta, TikTok, Instagram, and the rest.(在每个博主、YouTube名人和社交媒体影响者的背后,都有拥有这些博主和影响者使用的平台的公司:YouTube、Meta、TikTok、Instagram等)”也指出,社交媒体平台的上的内容生产者也是被平台操控的。故选A。
35. 推理判断题。最后一段中“Well, the first step towards protecting yourself against AI’s influence is to be conscious of the fact that we live in an attention economy in which much of the business occurs between companies that want your attention and the content platforms that provide it to them.(保护自己不受人工智能影响的第一步是要意识到这样一个事实,即我们生活在一个注意力经济中,在这个经济中,许多业务发生在想要你关注的公司和为他们提供关注的内容平台之间)”谈到如何保护自己不受人工智能影响。由此可推知,作者接下来可能会继续就如何进行自我保护给我们提出更多的建议和措施。故选D。

(但只有当你真正感激它们时,你才能让它们变得不平凡。)”是对上文内容的进一步阐释,强调了真正感激平凡事物的重要性,以及这样做能带来的不平凡结果,符合语境。故选 G。

A few weeks later, I went to the farm again. As my car neared it, my thoughts wandered back to the moment when I rescued the hummingbird from the spider-web. I rushed to the deserted milking house. It was a great comfort that the original hole in the window was nowhere to be found. As I stared at the same house and the same blackberry path, various thoughts about the bird crowded in. Will the hummingbird be the same Will she be trapped in some other spider-webs Worried and disappointed, I walked back to my car.
I was just about to leave when the hummingbird appeared. I couldn’t help exclaiming in delight. “It must be YOU!” Amazingly, she responded with a familiar squeaking call! She hovered gracefully within inches of my face, looking at me with her bright eyes. Appearing to be sound, this little bird slowly landed on my right shoulder and gave a gentle kiss as if appreciating saving her life. Gazing at the grateful creature, I felt a wave of relief. Many years passed, but it was a wonderful moment that would always stick in my mind.
