Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
(2024·陕西安康高一下期中)
About 12% of the total global energy demand comes from heating and cooling homes and businesses.A new study suggests that using underground water to maintain comfortable temperatures could reduce consumption of natural gas and electricity in this section by 40% in the US.The approach is called ATES，short for aquifer thermal energy storage(含水层热能储存)．
“We need storage to absorb energy from the sun and wind.It’s crucial to creating affordable，reliable，and deeply environmental-friendly electricity systems.Most people are interested in batteries and other kinds of electrical storage.But we were wondering whether there was any opportunity to use geothermal(地热的) energy storage，” said first author A．T.D Perera.“With ATES，energy can be stored for a long period of time，without adding an additional burden to the grid(输电网)．”
ATES is a pleasantly simple concept that takes advantage of the heat-absorbing property of water and the natural geological features of the planet.You simply pull existing underground water up and heat it at the surface in the summer with environmental heat or energy.Then you send it back down.It stays fairly hot because the Earth is a good insulator(绝热体)．
“Unlike above-ground tank-based water or ice storage systems，ATES will not need space.It’s also more efficient and can support larger communities in cooling or heating than traditional geothermal heat pump systems that rely on heat moving with the underground soil，” added co-author Hong Tianzhen.
A major benefit of ATES is that it will become more efficient as weather becomes more extreme in the coming years due to climate change.The hotter summers and severer winters could increase the amount of free thermal energy that can be stored with ATES.“It’s very much a realistic thing to do and this work is really about showing its value，” said Perera.“This technology is ready to go，so to speak.We just need to do it.”
语篇解读 本文为一篇说明文，介绍了一种新型的绿色环保冷暖电力系统解决方案——含水层热能储存 ATES 。

(2025·山东德州高一上期末)
As technology continues to affect every aspect of our lives，it’s no surprise that artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into our gardens.For busy modern gardeners，AI offers a way to manage a thriving(茂盛) garden with minimal effort，ensuring that plants receive exactly what they need，when they need it.
One of the most exciting aspects of AI in gardening is its ability to personalize care for each plant.By analyzing data from various sensors placed in the garden，AI systems can determine the specific needs of each plant，such as light，water，and nutrients.The exactness not only leads to healthier plants but also makes better use of resources.
AI is also helping gardeners with plant selection.Based on your location，garden conditions，and personal preferences，AI-driven apps can suggest plants that are most likely to succeed in your garden.For instance，there are apps that not only determine plant issues but also suggest the best plants to grow in specific environmental conditions，helping gardeners make informed decisions on plant selection.
As AI continues to advance，we can expect even more innovative applications in gardening.Future AI systems could cover real-time data from satellite imagery and advanced climate models to predict and prepare for extreme weather events，helping gardeners protect their plants from unforeseen threats.Additionally，AI could assist in breeding new plant varieties that are better suited to changing climates.
While AI offers numerous benefits to home gardeners，it’s important to approach this technology with caution.One concern is the over-reliance on AI systems，which could lead to a reduced understanding of natural gardening practices.Additionally，privacy issues may arise，as many AI-powered devices and apps collect data about your garden，which could be shared or sold without your permission.So it is crucial for gardeners to maintain a balance between embracing these innovations and preserving traditional knowledge.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章分析了人工智能对园艺工作带来的好处和负面影响，表达了园艺工作者应该在接受创新和保护传统之间保持平衡的观点。
5．What is the AI system’s personalized care to each plant based on
A．Apps installed on phones.
B．Data collected from sensors.
C．Experience offered by gardeners.
D．Diseases diagnosed by plant doctors.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中“By analyzing data from various sensors placed in the garden，AI systems can determine the specific needs of each plant，such as light，water，and nutrients.”可知，通过分析放置在花园里的各种传感器收集的数据，人工智能系统可以确定每种植物的特定需求，如光、水和营养。故人工智能对每一株植物的个性化的护理是基于传感器收集的数据。故选B。
6．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The future of AI in gardening.
B．The cause of AI in gardening.
C．The drawbacks of AI in gardening.
D．The guidelines of AI in gardening.

About 12% of the total global energy demand comes from heating and cooling homes and businesses.A new study suggests that using underground water to maintain comfortable temperatures could reduce consumption of natural gas and electricity in this section by 40% in the US.The approach is called ATES，short for aquifer thermal energy storage(含水层热能储存).
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读 本文为一篇说明文，介绍了一种新型的绿色环保冷暖电力系统解决方案——含水层热能储存(ATES)。
“We need storage to absorb energy from the sun and wind.It’s crucial to creating affordable，reliable，and deeply environmental-friendly electricity systems.Most people are interested in batteries and other kinds of electrical storage.But we were wondering whether there was any opportunity to use geothermal(地热的) energy storage，” said first author A.T.D Perera.“With ATES，energy can be stored for a long period of time，without adding an additional burden to the grid(输电网).”
ATES is a pleasantly simple concept that takes advantage of the heat-absorbing property of water and the natural geological features of the planet.You simply pull existing underground water up and heat it at the surface in the summer with environmental heat or energy.Then you send it back down.It stays fairly hot because the Earth is a good insulator(绝热体).
“Unlike above-ground tank-based water or ice storage systems，ATES will not need space.It’s also more efficient and can support larger communities in cooling or heating than traditional geothermal heat pump systems that rely on heat moving with the underground soil，” added co-author Hong Tianzhen.
A major benefit of ATES is that it will become more efficient as weather becomes more extreme in the coming years due to climate change.The hotter summers and severer winters could increase the amount of free thermal energy that can be stored with ATES.“It’s very much a realistic thing to do and this work is really about showing its value，” said Perera.“This technology is ready to go，so to speak.We just need to do it.”

(2025·山东德州高一上期末)
As technology continues to affect every aspect of our lives，it’s no surprise that artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into our gardens.For busy modern gardeners，AI offers a way to manage a thriving(茂盛) garden with minimal effort，ensuring that plants receive exactly what they need，when they need it.
语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章分析了人工智能对园艺工作带来的好处和负面影响，表达了园艺工作者应该在接受创新和保护传统之间保持平衡的观点。
One of the most exciting aspects of AI in gardening is its ability to personalize care for each plant.By analyzing data from various sensors placed in the garden，AI systems can determine the specific needs of each plant，such as light，water，and nutrients.The exactness not only leads to healthier plants but also makes better use of resources.
AI is also helping gardeners with plant selection.Based on your location，garden conditions，and personal preferences，AI-driven apps can suggest plants that are most likely to succeed in your garden.For instance，there are apps that not only determine plant issues but also suggest the best plants to grow in specific environmental conditions，helping gardeners make informed decisions on plant selection.
As AI continues to advance，we can expect even more innovative applications in gardening.Future AI systems could cover real-time data from satellite imagery and advanced climate models to predict and prepare for extreme weather events，helping gardeners protect their plants from unforeseen threats.Additionally，AI could assist in breeding new plant varieties that are better suited to changing climates.
While AI offers numerous benefits to home gardeners，it’s important to approach this technology with caution.One concern is the over-reliance on AI systems，which could lead to a reduced understanding of natural gardening practices.Additionally，privacy issues may arise，as many AI-powered devices and apps collect data about your garden，which could be shared or sold without your permission.So it is crucial for gardeners to maintain a balance between embracing these innovations and preserving traditional knowledge.

A.Apps installed on phones.
B.Data collected from sensors.
C.Experience offered by gardeners.
D.Diseases diagnosed by plant doctors.
