（2025 昆明“三诊一模”质量检测）From boat decks （甲板） to the Stanford campus， Katie Jewett， a 2011 graduate of the Human Biology program， has charted a path through the worlds of ocean science and communication.
Jewett developed a love for the ocean at an early age.Upon graduation from Stanford， she involved herself in the environment that had inspired her storytelling pursuits.After leaving the boat world， Jewett worked as a science writer at the California Academy of Sciences where she wrote about the museum’s biodiversity research and reported stories for bioGraphic magazine.Today， she is the Associate Director for Ocean Communications at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability.
For Jewett， science is more than just the process of collecting data — it’s about the stories of the people doing the research and the people those findings serve.Her love for the ocean and passion for storytelling have driven her to connect the work of scientists with global audiences， translating complex data into appealing stories.Transforming complicated scientific information into a more related format has become one of her biggest priorities.
Jewett’s passion for storytelling is typical in a recent video she produced with her colleagues at Stanford， Oceans in a New Light.The feature tells the story of how ocean scientists are cooperating with resource managers in Palau to develop a tiny chip that can detect floating DNA chips of specific species in the ocean.“What really made the story successful was that the people involved in the project connected viewers to this sense of place and invited them into the process of innovation，” she explained.
Jewett’s journey from HumBio student to her current role shows the value of using science communication to sail in today’s complex world.“Life is a constant conversation， so having the skill set to read people and meet them where they’re at is invaluable，” she reflected.

（2025 湖北省十一校联考）People frequently employ AI to craft emails， plan travel， get financial advice， summarize texts， and prepare for job interviews.According to a 2024 Pew Research survey， roughly half of Americans said they use AI at least several times a week， while a recent survey found that virtually all Americans use products that contain AI （even though two－thirds don’t realize it）.
Companies offering AI assistants sell them as productivity boosters.They argue that assigning them routine mental tasks frees up users’ time and cognitive resources， which they can then spend on other， more creative， and innovative pursuits.The idea makes natural sense and has backing in the scientific literature.According to cognitive load theory， the human cognitive system has limited capacity.So reducing cognitive load can enhance learning and performance.
Habitually offloading cognitive tasks to AI could backfire， however.As AI has grown more commonplace in everyday life， psychologists theorize that it reduces users’ engagement in deep， reflective thinking， causing their critical thinking skills to decline over time.
Professor Dr Michael Gerlich， Head of the Center for Strategic Corporate Foresight and Sustainability at the Swiss Business School， is one of the researchers studying this risk.“If individuals use the cognitive resources freed up by AI for innovative tasks， the promise holds，” he told Big Think.
“However， my research and related studies suggest that many users channel these resources into passive consumption， driven by AI－enhanced content selection.This trend matches findings on digital dependence， where the convenience of AI encourages a feedback cycle that prioritizes entertainment over critical engagement.”
In other words， when AI frees up users’ cognitive resources， they typically don’t use their extra time and brain power to problem－solve or create.Rather， they tune out by watching Netflix or browsing social media — content served up by AI algorithms （算法）.Gerlich found a very strong negative correlation between subjects’ use of AI tools and their critical thinking skills.The higher their usage， the lower their skills.Younger participants tended to be more dependent on AI tools compared to older participants.Education was associated with greater critical thinking skills and reduced AI’s negative effect.
8.What is the main argument of companies offering AI assistants？（ ）
A.They improve efficiency and output.
B.They help users reduce screen time.
C.They expand users’ cognitive abilities.
D.They enhance creativity and innovation.
9.Which can replace the underlined word “backfire” in paragraph 3？（ ）
A.Result in a positive effect. B.Cause negative consequences.
C.Achieve an intended outcome. D.Prove the existing theory wrong.
10.What does Dr.Gerlich’s research suggest about the use of AI？（ ）
A.Freed－up resources fuel innovation.

（2025 杭州教学质量检测）Plastic and cheap clothes are not a glorious legacy （遗产）.But a scientist exploring which items from our technological civilisation are most likely to survive for many millions of years as fossils （化石） has reached an ironic and instructive conclusion：Plastic and fast fashion will be our everlasting geological signature.
“Plastic will definitely be a signature ‘technofossil’， because it is incredibly durable. We are making massive amounts of it， and it gets around the entire globe，” says Sarah Gabbott， a University of Leicester expert on fossils. “So wherever those future civilisations dig， they are going to find plastic.”
Clothes will also make an abrupt entry into humanity’s fossil record. Today， the world’s growing population often wears mass－produced synthetic （合成的） clothing that is rapidly dumped and it is not as easily rotted as cotton and silk.
“We are making it in ridiculous amounts，” says Gabbott. “We stick it into landfills （废物填埋场）， which are like giant mummy tombs. It is already clear that much of modern fashion will end up being truly timeless.”
Fossils are not just objects left behind， but also the traces of life’s activity written into the rocks. Human activities， such as oil drilling and nuclear tests， will leave lasting scars. Humankind has also created many near－indestructible chemicals， such as dioxins and DDT. Given that similar molecules produced by bacteria have been found in rocks that are 1.6 billion years old in Western Australia， these chemicals appear to be here to stay. “And there is the graphite （石墨） used in pencils，” says Gabbott. “It is endearing to think that it may be the drawings of children that may survive best of all： a pencil portrait， perhaps， of a family outside a house， with the sun shining and a rainbow arcing across the sky，” she says jokingly.
“The big message here is that the amount of stuff we are now making is eye－watering — it’s off the scale，” says Gabbott. All of the stuff made by humans by 1950 was a small part of all the matter on Earth. But today it outweighs all plants and animals. “This raises serious questions for us all，” she says. “Do you need that？ Do you really need to buy more？”
12.What does the author think of the legacy mentioned in paragraph 1？（ ）
A.Troubling. B.Short－lived.
C.Technologically weak. D.Environmentally harmless.
13.What can be categorized as technofossils？（ ）
A.Dinosaur bones. B.Cotton clothing.
C.Nuclear waste. D.Solid landfills.
14.Why is “the drawings of children” mentioned in paragraph 5？（ ）
A.To highlight human creativity.
B.To celebrate modern technology.
C.To stress that warmth of life is here to stay.
D.To indicate that chemicals could be fossilized.
15.What is Gabbott’s primary concern？（ ）
A.Biodiversity loss. B.Geological record accuracy.
C.Technological progress. D.Overproduction of material goods.

（2025 广州毕业班综合测试）As an experienced teacher， I’ve come to understand the great value of hands－on activities.16.（ ） No other creature on Earth， not even our closest primate （灵长类） relatives， has hands structured quite like ours， capable of such precise grasping and control.
17.（ ） A lot of modern life involves simple movements， such as touching screens and pushing buttons， and some experts believe our shift away from more complex hand activities could have consequences for how we think and feel.
Think about it： you’re glued to your screen， typing out assignments or chatting with friends.Sure， that’s a big part of how we live now.18.（ ） Our brains are actually wired to respond to hand movements.When you do things like cooking or knitting， it gives you a huge sense of achievement.
Research backs this up.Studies have shown that when people — and even rats — do things that require effort， they handle stress better， solve problems faster， and even remember things better.For example， rats that had to dig for their food were less stressed and better at solving problems than those that got food handed to them.19.（ ） Activities like gardening and crafting can help reduce anxiety and depression， making you feel a whole lot better.
In my classroom， I make sure my students get a mix of traditional and digital activities.I encourage them to do things using their hands.This makes learning more fun and helps them feel emotionally and mentally better.20.（ ） And your brain and hands will thank you!
A.The same goes for us humans.
B.The human hand is a wonder of nature.
C.Now， why don’t you join me in an exciting card game？
D.Technology is constantly bringing new challenges to our hands.
E.However， we are doing less complicated hands－on work than we used to.
F.But nothing beats the satisfaction you get from doing something with your hands.
G.So next time you reach for a screen， consider picking up a pen， some clay or fabric.

（2025·广州毕业班综合测试）As an experienced teacher， I’ve
come to understand the great value of hands-on activities.16. No
other creature on Earth， not even our closest primate （灵长类）
relatives， has hands structured quite like ours， capable of such precise
grasping and control.
17. A lot of modern life involves simple movements， such as
touching screens and pushing buttons， and some experts believe our shift
away from more complex hand activities could have consequences for how
we think and feel.
Think about it： you’re glued to your screen， typing out
assignments or chatting with friends.Sure， that’s a big part of how we
live now.18. Our brains are actually wired to respond to hand
movements.When you do things like cooking or knitting， it gives you a
huge sense of achievement.
Research backs this up.Studies have shown that when people — and
even rats — do things that require effort， they handle stress better，
solve problems faster， and even remember things better.For example，
rats that had to dig for their food were less stressed and better at solving
problems than those that got food handed to them.19. Activities like
gardening and crafting can help reduce anxiety and depression， making
you feel a whole lot better.
In my classroom， I make sure my students get a mix of traditional
and digital activities.I encourage them to do things using their hands.This makes learning more fun and helps them feel emotionally and mentally
better.20. And your brain and hands will thank you！
A. The same goes for us humans.
B. The human hand is a wonder of nature.
C. Now， why don’t you join me in an exciting card game？
D. Technology is constantly bringing new challenges to our hands.
E. However， we are doing less complicated hands-on work than we used
to.
F. But nothing beats the satisfaction you get from doing something with
your hands.
G. So next time you reach for a screen， consider picking up a pen，
some clay or fabric.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了手部活动对大脑有
好处，写作、园艺和编织等活动可以改善你的认知和情绪。
16. B 根据下文可知，地球上没有任何其他生物有像我们这样的手
结构，因此B项（人的手是大自然的奇迹）符合语境。
17. E 根据下文可知，我们从更复杂的手部活动转变为现代生活涉
及的简单动作，因此E项（然而，我们做的复杂的动手工作比以前更
少了）符合语境。
18. F 上文提到现代生活人们通常目不转睛地盯着屏幕，打出任务
或者和朋友聊天，下文提到手工任务会给人一种巨大的成就感，空处
应表示转折关系，强调动手的意义，因此F项（但没有什么能比亲手
做某事更令人满意的了）符合语境。
19. A 上文以老鼠为例说明自己动手压力更小，下文提到园艺和手
工这样的活动可以帮助人减少焦虑和抑郁，空处应起过渡作用，从动
物过渡到人。因此A项（这同样适用于我们人类）符合语境。
20. G 上文提到鼓励学生动手在精神方面的好处，下文提到你的大
脑和双手会感谢你，空处应呼吁自己动手做些事情。因此G项（所以
下次你拿屏幕的时候，考虑拿一支笔，一些黏土或织物）符合语境。

（2025 衡水中学模拟）“Can you finish the work by the end of the day？” This question might cause anxiety for many employees.However， recent research indicates that shorter deadlines can actually help some individuals to complete tasks more efficiently and perceive their workload as less frightening.
In a study focused on retirement planning， volunteers completed a brief online survey under two different deadline conditions.One group had seven days to finish the survey， while the other was given 14 days.The researchers discovered that those facing the longer deadline often viewed the task as more difficult.Although participants with the extended deadline initially invested more time and resources， they were also more likely to procrastinate and less likely to complete the assignment compared to those with shorter deadlines.
Recognizing that people frequently deal with multiple deadlines， researchers explored how individuals manage various tasks at the same time.The findings found a mental tendency： individuals often delay important tasks in favor of urgent but less significant ones.For example， many delay routine medical check－ups crucial for health in favor of rushing to a store for a limited－time sale.This occurs because important tasks feel more complex and distant， while urgent tasks provide immediate satisfaction.
These patterns have significant results for managers and others involved in setting deadlines.Understanding these mental processes can help find strategies to enhance task completion rates.Short deadlines for urgent tasks tend to draw attention more effectively， leading to higher completion rates and reduced procrastination.On the other hand， longer deadlines can lead to excessive careful thought or distraction， resulting in incomplete work.
However， it’s essential to recognize that longer deadlines may still be necessary for complex tasks particularly when external factors， such as resource availability or cooperation， require additional time for proper completion.In such cases， a balanced approach is crucial： setting realistic deadlines that account for both urgency and complexity can lead to improved outcomes.By recognizing the minor differences of human motivation， individuals and organizations can develop effective strategies for task management.
8.What does the underlined word “procrastinate” in paragraph 2 mean？（ ）
A.Finish quickly. B.Put off.
C.Start early. D.Do carefully.
9.Why do people tend to delay important tasks for urgent ones？（ ）
A.Urgent tasks offer instant rewards. B.Urgent tasks are more complicated.
C.Important tasks are less challenging. D.Important tasks need multitasking.
10.How should managers set proper deadlines to improve outcomes？（ ）
A.Set all tasks with shorter deadlines. B.Prioritize resources and cooperation.
C.Balance task urgency and complexity. D.Extend deadlines for significant tasks.

A.The Role of Urgency in Task Completion

（2025 河北部分学校联考）More than a third of food grown in the US goes uneaten， and that percentage has increased in the past five years.Much of that food ends up in landfills， where it decomposes （分解）， creating a powerful gas that contributes to global warming.A company based in Denmark spent eight years working to bring that percentage down by helping restaurants sell food that would otherwise go to waste.
The app Too Good To Go started in Denmark in 2015.Today there are participating stores in 17 countries and more than a dozen US cities including New York， Phoenix and Seattle.Several cities including Santa Barbara， Minneapolis and Atlanta just started participating this year.The company claims Los Angeles is its most successful city yet.Next， it’s headed to cities in the southeast.
MacAulay， the app’s US country manager， says the cheaper price tag and the recouped （收回的） business costs are great side effects， but that’s not the main point.“The core of the ‘why’ is really about reducing food waste，” he says.Because it’s such a large contributor to CO2， which stands for the carbon dioxide equivalent （当量） of a product’s total planet－warming gas emissions.
When someone buys a “surprise bag” from the restaurant， the app adds that purchase to the consumer’s lifetime climate impact record.It displays all the carbon emissions prevented from going to waste.“In the US， all food loss and waste accounts for about 6% of our total greenhouse gas emissions，” says Alexandria Coari with the food waste nonprofit ReFED.
The app is especially popular among businesses that produce baked goods， since they can’t sell food that will be no longer fresh the next day.“I think in the areas where they’ve tried to expand into retail grocery， even into manufacturing， there’s still a little bit to be figured out there，” Coari says.
12.What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2？（ ）
A.The company’s chain stores. B.The condition of American cities.
C.The operation modes of the app. D.The promotion and application of the app.
13.Which is the original intention of developing the app？（ ）
A.To reduce business costs. B.To make shopping convenient.
C.To minimize food wastage. D.To help restaurants sell food cheaply.
14.What can we know about the consumers who buy “a surprise bag”？（ ）
A.They are cost－conscious customers.
B.Their behavior will be handsomely rewarded.
C.Their daily carbon emissions will be calculated.
D.Their contributions to the earth will be recorded.
15.What is a future goal for the app according to Coari？（ ）
A.To broaden the selection on the app. B.To develop alternatives to baked goods.
C.To make sure food is available to all. D.To advance the development of grocery.

（2025·衡水中学模拟）“Can you finish the work by the end of
the day？” This question might cause anxiety for many employees.
However， recent research indicates that shorter deadlines can actually help some individuals to complete tasks more efficiently and perceive their workload as less frightening.
In a study focused on retirement planning， volunteers completed a
brief online survey under two different deadline conditions.One group had
seven days to finish the survey， while the other was given 14 days.The
researchers discovered that those facing the longer deadline often viewed
the task as more difficult.Although participants with the extended deadline
initially invested more time and resources， they were also more likely to
procrastinate and less likely to complete the assignment compared to those
with shorter deadlines.
Recognizing that people frequently deal with multiple deadlines，
researchers explored how individuals manage various tasks at the same
time.The findings found a mental tendency： individuals often delay
important tasks in favor of urgent but less significant ones.For example，
many delay routine medical check-ups crucial for health in favor of rushing
to a store for a limited-time sale.This occurs because important tasks feel
more complex and distant， while urgent tasks provide immediate
satisfaction.
These patterns have significant results for managers and others
involved in setting deadlines.Understanding these mental processes can
help find strategies to enhance task completion rates.Short deadlines for
urgent tasks tend to draw attention more effectively， leading to higher
completion rates and reduced procrastination.On the other hand， longer
deadlines can lead to excessive careful thought or distraction， resulting in
incomplete work.
However， it’s essential to recognize that longer deadlines may still
be necessary for complex tasks particularly when external factors， such
as resource availability or cooperation， require additional time for proper
completion.In such cases， a balanced approach is crucial： setting
realistic deadlines that account for both urgency and complexity can lead to
improved outcomes.By recognizing the minor differences of human
motivation， individuals and organizations can develop effective strategies
for task management.

（2025·河北部分学校联考）More than a third of food grown in
the US goes uneaten， and that percentage has increased in the past five
years.Much of that food ends up in landfills， where it decomposes （分
解）， creating a powerful gas that contributes to global warming.A
company based in Denmark spent eight years working to bring that
percentage down by helping restaurants sell food that would otherwise go
to waste.
The app Too Good To Go started in Denmark in 2015.Today there are
participating stores in 17 countries and more than a dozen US cities
including New York， Phoenix and Seattle.Several cities including Santa
Barbara， Minneapolis and Atlanta just started participating this year.The
company claims Los Angeles is its most successful city yet.Next， it’s
headed to cities in the southeast.
MacAulay， the app’s US country manager， says the cheaper
price tag and the recouped （收回的） business costs are great side
effects， but that’s not the main point.“The core of the ‘why’ is
really about reducing food waste，” he says.Because it’s such a large
contributor to CO2， which stands for the carbon dioxide equivalent （当
量） of a product’s total planet-warming gas emissions.
When someone buys a “surprise bag” from the restaurant， the app
adds that purchase to the consumer’s lifetime climate impact record.It
displays all the carbon emissions prevented from going to waste.“In the
US， all food loss and waste accounts for about 6% of our total
greenhouse gas emissions，” says Alexandria Coari with the food waste
nonprofit ReFED.
The app is especially popular among businesses that produce baked
goods， since they can’t sell food that will be no longer fresh the next
day.“I think in the areas where they’ve tried to expand into retail
grocery， even into manufacturing， there’s still a little bit to be figured out there，” Coari says.

bag”？（ ）

（2025 重庆调研抽测）The leather jacket is age－worn and soft.I found it hanging in the window of a shop in Brighton， England.I was there to deliver a talk on modern women’s writing at an international conference， a PhD student eager to make a name for herself and waiting for her life to start.I had just turned 28.
I’m still closely connected to that woman， her dreams and her ambition， although she also frightens me.She was always determined， this leather jacket woman — she had a five－year plan and was sticking to it! This was the woman who couldn’t find time to visit her grandmother， who regularly missed her nieces’ and nephews’ birthday parties， and who left and didn’t look back.
She and I are one and the same， but we are also very different.There was a change that happened a few years into the five－year plan.Each time one goal post was reached， another took its place.This is the pattern of the overly ambitious.I started to doubt whether it would result in any real success other than an unshakable ability to give up everything else along the way.My determination shook.I realized I didn’t want the same things anymore.The leather jacket moved to the back of the wardrobe.
Seven years later， as I stand in front of my wardrobe filled with useless clothes， I don’t know what to do with the leather jacket.When England’s cold spread to my bones years earlier， the leather jacket had felt like a practical thing I bought.Here in Australia’s sunshine， it always felt a little silly.I let it fall heavily on the bed alongside the other clothes I’ve decided to give away because they no longer make the cut.
Yet， despite its uselessness and how much space it takes up， at the last moment I return the leather jacket to the wardrobe.I think it will always stand for a part of myself that I’m not quite willing to give up forever — that ambitious， motivated woman.

（2025 福建省高中毕业班适应性练习）Did you know the earliest form of writing began as a “bookkeeping system”？ Around 8500 BCE， in Mesopotamia （modern－day Middle East）， farmers and artisans used small clay tokens shaped like cones， disks， and cylinders to track goods.For example， six cone－shaped tokens might represent six bags of grain， while eight cylinders could stand for eight livestock.These 3D symbols were the world’s first “written” records.
About 5000 years later， people started sealing these tokens inside clay envelopes to keep track of debts.But how could they remember what was inside？ They pressed 2D symbols of the tokens onto the envelopes’ surfaces.Eventually， they realized the tokens inside were unnecessary — clay tablets with these pressed symbols were enough.Over time， the symbols simplified into wedge－shaped marks called cuneiform （楔形文字）， the first true writing system.
Archaeologists discovered that early symbols were simple shapes （circles， triangles）， but by 3500 BCE， more detailed tokens had appeared， shaped like tools， furniture， and even fruits.These represented crafted goods like bread， cloth， or pottery.Interestingly， these symbols weren’t invented by elites or priests but by everyday workers — simple tokens tracked crops， while complex ones were used by artisans in workshops.
Math also grew from this need to count goods.Around 3100 BCE， Sumerian accountants made a revolutionary leap： before， recording “18 bags of grain” required 18 separate grain symbols， but now， they could write the symbol for “18” followed by one grain symbol.This saved time and effort.Thousands of clay tablets found in ancient temples suggest teams of scribes handled these records， and it’s likely lower－ranking workers invented this system to reduce their tedious tasks.
From clay tokens to abstract writing， these innovations arose from basic human needs： tracking resources and trade.It wasn’t kings or priests but ordinary people — farmers， artisans， and accountants — who sparked one of humanity’s greatest achievements： the written word.
8.What was the original purpose of the clay tokens used in Mesopotamia？（ ）
A.To record offerings in religious ceremonies.
B.To manage cross－regional trade debts.
C.To document royal decrees and achievements.
D.To track agricultural and crafted goods.
9.How did Sumerian accountants revolutionize record－keeping？（ ）
A.They invented clay envelopes to store tokens.
B.They developed the first alphabetic writing system.
C.They created abstract numerals to simplify counting.
D.They introduced priestly oversight to financial records.
10.What can be inferred about the social level in ancient Mesopotamia based on the text？（ ）
A.Elites actively resisted the development of writing.
B.Lower－ranking workers drove practical innovations.
C.Priests controlled all forms of record－keeping.
D.Kings claimed credit for inventing cuneiform.
11.Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage？（ ）
A.The Hidden Role of Ordinary People in Creating Writing and Math
B.From Clay Tokens to Cuneiform： How Trade Shaped Civilization
C.Kings and Priests： The True Inventors of Writing
D.Archaeology’s Greatest Discovery： Decoding Ancient Symbols

（2025 安徽省高三冲刺卷）Not all birds sing， but those that do — some several thousand species — do it a lot.“Why do birds sing so much？” says Iris Adam， a behavioral neuroscientist at the University of Southern Denmark.“For some reason， birds have a strong drive to sing.” This means hours’ singing every day for some species， and that takes much energy.Plus， singing can be perilous.“Instantly you sing， you reveal yourself，” she says.“Like， where you are， that you even exist， where your territory is — all of that immediately is out in the open for predators （捕食者）， for everybody.”
To figure out why， Adam designed experiments on zebra finches — little Australian songbirds with striped heads and a bloom of orange on their cheeks.One of her first experiments involved taking males at the top of their game， and cutting off the connection between their brains and their singing muscles.“Already after two days， they’d lost some of their performance，” she says.“After three weeks， they were back to the same level when they were juveniles （幼鸟） and never had sung before.”
Next， she left the birds intact （完好无损的） but kept them in the dark almost around the clock for a week.The only exception was a few half hour blocks each day when Adam switched the lights on so the finches would feed and drink.Light was what stimulated the birds to sing.However， she would move around and tap the cage when the birds wanted to sing.
After a week， the birds’ singing muscles lost half their strength.Then she played a male’s song before and after the seven days of darkness， yet she couldn’t hear a difference.But when Adam played it for a group of female birds — who’re the audience for these singing males — six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who’d been using his singing muscles daily.
Adam’s conclusion is that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top－performance song.If they don’t sing， they lose performance.So their vocalizations get less attractive to females — and that’s bad”.And this may help explain songbirds’ constant singing.
12.What does the underlined word “perilous” in paragraph 1 probably mean？（ ）
A.Rewarding. B.Promising.
C.Attractive. D.Dangerous.
13.What happened to the male finches after operations？（ ）
A.Their brains recovered after three weeks.
B.They lost the ability to sing gradually.
C.Their muscles were back to juvenile level quickly.
D.They became inactive when hunting for food.
14.Why were some male finches left in the dark for a week？（ ）
A.To prevent them from singing. B.To expose them to a new lifestyle.
C.To change their communicating patterns. D.To test their ability to memorize the past.
15.What is the positive effect of songbirds’ constant singing？（ ）
A.It enhanced their lung capacity. B.It could frighten away their predators.
C.It improved their digestive ability. D.It could keep their vocal muscles in shape.

（2025·福建省高中毕业班适应性练习）Did you know the
earliest form of writing began as a “bookkeeping system”？ Around
8500 BCE， in Mesopotamia （modern-day Middle East）， farmers and
artisans used small clay tokens shaped like cones， disks， and cylinders
to track goods.For example， six cone-shaped tokens might represent six
bags of grain， while eight cylinders could stand for eight livestock.These
3D symbols were the world’s first “written” records.
About 5000 years later， people started sealing these tokens inside
clay envelopes to keep track of debts.But how could they remember what
was inside？ They pressed 2D symbols of the tokens onto the envelopes’
surfaces.Eventually， they realized the tokens inside were unnecessary —
clay tablets with these pressed symbols were enough.Over time， the
symbols simplified into wedge-shaped marks called cuneiform （楔形文
字）， the first true writing system.
Archaeologists discovered that early symbols were simple shapes
（circles， triangles）， but by 3500 BCE， more detailed tokens had
appeared， shaped like tools， furniture， and even fruits.These
represented crafted goods like bread， cloth， or pottery.Interestingly，
these symbols weren’t invented by elites or priests but by everyday
workers — simple tokens tracked crops， while complex ones were used
by artisans in workshops.
Math also grew from this need to count goods.Around 3100 BCE，
Sumerian accountants made a revolutionary leap： before， recording
“18 bags of grain” required 18 separate grain symbols， but now， they could write the symbol for “18” followed by one grain symbol.This saved time and effort.Thousands of clay tablets found in ancient temples
suggest teams of scribes handled these records， and it’s likely lower-
ranking workers invented this system to reduce their tedious tasks.
From clay tokens to abstract writing， these innovations arose from
basic human needs： tracking resources and trade.It wasn’t kings or
priests but ordinary people — farmers， artisans， and accountants —
who sparked one of humanity’s greatest achievements： the written
word.

（2025·安徽省高三冲刺卷）Not all birds sing， but those that
do — some several thousand species — do it a lot.“Why do birds sing so
much？” says Iris Adam， a behavioral neuroscientist at the University
of Southern Denmark.“For some reason， birds have a strong drive to
sing.” This means hours’ singing every day for some species， and that
takes much energy.Plus， singing can be perilous.“Instantly you sing，
you reveal yourself，” she says.“Like， where you are， that you even
exist， where your territory is — all of that immediately is out in the open
for predators （捕食者）， for everybody.”
To figure out why， Adam designed experiments on zebra finches —
little Australian songbirds with striped heads and a bloom of orange on
their cheeks.One of her first experiments involved taking males at the top
of their game， and cutting off the connection between their brains and
their singing muscles.“Already after two days， they’d lost some of
their performance，” she says.“After three weeks， they were back to
the same level when they were juveniles （幼鸟） and never had sung
before.”
Next， she left the birds intact （完好无损的） but kept them in the
dark almost around the clock for a week.The only exception was a few
half hour blocks each day when Adam switched the lights on so the finches would feed and drink.Light was what stimulated the birds to
sing.However， she would move around and tap the cage when the birds
wanted to sing.
After a week， the birds’ singing muscles lost half their strength.
Then she played a male’s song before and after the seven days of darkness， yet she couldn’t hear a difference.But when Adam played
it for a group of female birds — who’re the audience for these singing
males — six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who’d
been using his singing muscles daily.
Adam’s conclusion is that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal
muscles to produce top-performance song.If they don’t sing， they lose
performance.So their vocalizations get less attractive to females — and
that’s bad”.And this may help explain songbirds’ constant singing.

（2025 苏、锡、常、镇四市调研）Learning new languages can be empowering， opening doors to connect with people from different cultures.Recently， a man practicing Chinese gained widespread attention after visiting a local Lanzhou noodle restaurant and speaking the language in a truly memorable way.Canadian resident Cali Lopez shared a video of his interaction with a Chinese waitress and their authentic and curious exchange quickly won praise online.
The incident occurred in Saskatoon， one of Canada’s largest cities， with a growing Chinese community.Cali appeared anxious and nervous at the Lanzhou noodle restaurant before a waitress approached him.Greeting her in her native language， he nearly left her in shock.
With a smile， Cali then politely asked the waitress if he could practice his Chinese and began ordering in her language， asking questions about the menu.He noticed a dish that caught his interest and asked in Chinese， “Is this sour pickle （泡菜） soup hot？” The waitress replied， “Yes， a little bit spicy.” Cali， who works as an English teacher， was fine with mild spice， replying，“Oh， I just want to order one.” When she asked about his other food preferences， he shared his desire for a dish with rice noodles.
The waitress then listed the restaurant’s six types of noodles， including three round and three flat varieties.Cali appeared to struggle a bit while discussing the types of noodles in Chinese， requesting the waitress to point to the menu and explain each dish’s preparation to help him order.After some thought， he chose the thinnest of the round noodles.
Curious about his language skills， Cali then asked， “Can you understand me？” and waited eagerly for her response.The waitress confirmed she could， leaving Cali visibly moved.

（2025 嘉兴教学测试）Beneath the surface of the earth lies a lively， invisible ecosystem full of life， often referred to as the “living skin” of the earth.It is a hidden world where countless organisms （生物体） interact in complex ways， driving essential processes that enable life to survive.They are the unsung heroes of nutrient cycling， soil stability， and even climate balance.
Organisms in the soil are both copious and diverse.They range in size from the one－celled bacteria， to the more complex tiny bugs， and to the larger organisms such as insects and plants.Soil microbes （微生物） are too small to be seen with the unaided eye.Bacteria are the most plentiful microbes in soil， with a population of 1010－1011 individuals and 6，000－50，000 species per gram of soil and a biomass of 40－500 grams per square metre.
If we are to understand the functions of soil microbes and the impact of management practices on soil quality， we need to analyze microbial community composition beyond just counting individuals.Traditional methods of studying microbes often rely on culturing techniques， which have significant limitations as they can only detect a small part of the microbial community.Advanced genetic （基因的） techniques， such as DNA sequencing and PCR， however， enable the detection and categorization of previously unculturable microbes.These methods enhance our ability to identify shifts in microbial communities， providing critical insights into soil health and functional dynamics.
Soil microbes play both beneficial and harmful roles as contributors to soil environmental problems such as climate change and groundwater pollution.The physical， chemical， and biological soil characteristics and their interactions with the resident community of soil microbes have a significant impact on the growth and activity of these microbes.As our understanding of these complex relationships develops， we should be able to develop soil management practices that are sustainable and can lead to preservation and improvement of soil quality.
8.What does the “living skin” of the earth mainly do？（ ）
A.Sustain life on the earth. B.Control microbial population.
C.Protect the surface of the earth. D.Monitor changes in the ecosystem.
9.What does the underlined word “copious” in paragraph 2 mean？（ ）
A.Small. B.Active.
C.Invisible. D.Plentiful.
10.Why are modern genetic techniques used in studying microbes？（ ）
A.To identify diverse microbes.
B.To simplify microbial counting.
C.To help culture more microbes.
D.To minimize microbial impact on soil.
11.What can help us to improve soil management practices？（ ）
A.Removing harmful microbes.
B.Distinguishing soil characteristics.
C.Understanding soil－microbe interactions.
D.Strengthening relationships among microbes.

（2025 湖北省调研模拟）Surgeons often emphasize that in the event of a heart attack， time is crucial for saving heart muscle.The heart relies on a continuous supply of oxygen delivered by the heart’s blood vessels （血管）.When these vessels become blocked， the oxygen supply stops， and the heart’s muscle cells begin to die within minutes.Survivors of heart attacks frequently suffer from permanent heart failure， with a worrying statistic showing that 50% of them may not survive beyond five years.“Eventually， their hearts become so weak that they can’t sustain sufficient blood flow， and they ultimately stop，” explains Sanjay Sinha， a cardiologist at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge.
However， within the next five years， there could be a new alternative — to grow live， beating “heart patches （补丁）”.Sinha， along with a team of biologists at the University of Cambridge’s Stem Cell Institute， is working on this innovative approach.These heart patches are tiny， beating pieces of heart muscle.They are grown in lab dishes over a month.The process begins by taking blood cells and reprogramming them into a specific type of stem cell capable of developing into any cell type within the human body.Sinha is currently preparing to test these patches， first in mice and then in pigs.If successful， he hopes to set up a human trial within five years.
In the United States， scientists from Stanford University are also working on creating heart patches.They envision a future procedure where ultrasound and MRI （超声波和核磁共振） scans are used to identify damaged sections.Based on the shape of the section， a custom heart patch would be 3D printed to fit perfectly.Surgeons would then open the chest area and attach the patch directly to the heart.
The major challenge with this method is establishing “electrical connectivity” between the new patch and the existing heart to ensure they beat in harmony.Additionally， the cost of developing and using these patches is significant， which could impact accessibility.However， if these challenges can be overcome， Sinha is optimistic that heart patches could transform the lives of millions worldwide.
12.What is the function of paragraph 1？（ ）
A.To reveal a finding. B.To offer a solution.
C.To present a problem. D.To outline a research.
13.What is the first step in growing heart patches？（ ）
A.Launching a clinical trial in humans. B.Testing the heart patches on animals.
C.Culturing heart patches in lab dishes. D.Generating stem cells from blood cells.
14.What is the purpose of using ultrasound and MRI scans？（ ）
A.To create a 3D model of the heart.
B.To locate damaged areas in the heart.
C.To design the shape of the custom heart.
D.To provide real－time guidance for operations.

（2025·苏、锡、常、镇四市调研）Learning new languages can
be empowering， opening doors to connect with people from different
cultures.Recently， a man practicing Chinese gained widespread attention
after visiting a local Lanzhou noodle restaurant and speaking the language
in a truly memorable way.Canadian resident Cali Lopez shared a video of
his interaction with a Chinese waitress and their authentic and curious
exchange quickly won praise online.
The incident occurred in Saskatoon， one of Canada’s largest
cities， with a growing Chinese community.Cali appeared anxious and
nervous at the Lanzhou noodle restaurant before a waitress approached
him.Greeting her in her native language， he nearly left her in shock.
With a smile， Cali then politely asked the waitress if he could
practice his Chinese and began ordering in her language， asking
questions about the menu.He noticed a dish that caught his interest and
asked in Chinese， “Is this sour pickle （泡菜） soup hot？” The
waitress replied， “Yes， a little bit spicy.” Cali， who works as an
English teacher， was fine with mild spice， replying，“Oh， I just
want to order one.” When she asked about his other food preferences，
he shared his desire for a dish with rice noodles.
The waitress then listed the restaurant’s six types of noodles，
including three round and three flat varieties.Cali appeared to struggle a
bit while discussing the types of noodles in Chinese， requesting the
waitress to point to the menu and explain each dish’s preparation to help
him order.After some thought， he chose the thinnest of the round
noodles.
Curious about his language skills， Cali then asked， “Can you
understand me？” and waited eagerly for her response.The waitress
confirmed she could， leaving Cali visibly moved.
The one-minute video of this genuine and heartfelt exchange has
received widespread praise on social media for recording a real，
spontaneous （自发的） moment without any forced emotion.

（2025·嘉兴教学测试）Beneath the surface of the earth lies a
lively， invisible ecosystem full of life， often referred to as the “living
skin” of the earth.It is a hidden world where countless organisms （生物
体） interact in complex ways， driving essential processes that enable
life to survive.They are the unsung heroes of nutrient cycling， soil
stability， and even climate balance.
Organisms in the soil are both copious and diverse.They range in size
from the one-celled bacteria， to the more complex tiny bugs， and to the
larger organisms such as insects and plants.Soil microbes （微生物） are
too small to be seen with the unaided eye.Bacteria are the most plentiful
microbes in soil， with a population of 1010－1011 individuals and 6，000
－50，000 species per gram of soil and a biomass of 40－500 grams per
square metre.
If we are to understand the functions of soil microbes and the impact
of management practices on soil quality， we need to analyze microbial
community composition beyond just counting individuals.Traditional
methods of studying microbes often rely on culturing techniques， which
have significant limitations as they can only detect a small part of the
microbial community.Advanced genetic （基因的） techniques， such
as DNA sequencing and PCR， however， enable the detection and
categorization of previously unculturable microbes.These methods
enhance our ability to identify shifts in microbial communities， providing critical insights into soil health and functional dynamics.
Soil microbes play both beneficial and harmful roles as contributors to soil environmental problems such as climate change and groundwater
pollution.The physical， chemical， and biological soil characteristics
and their interactions with the resident community of soil microbes have a
significant impact on the growth and activity of these microbes.As our
understanding of these complex relationships develops， we should be
able to develop soil management practices that are sustainable and can lead to preservation and improvement of soil quality.

（2025·湖北省调研模拟）Surgeons often emphasize that in the
event of a heart attack， time is crucial for saving heart muscle.The heart
relies on a continuous supply of oxygen delivered by the heart’s blood
vessels （血管）.When these vessels become blocked， the oxygen
supply stops， and the heart’s muscle cells begin to die within
minutes.Survivors of heart attacks frequently suffer from permanent heart
failure， with a worrying statistic showing that 50% of them may not
survive beyond five years.“Eventually， their hearts become so weak
that they can’t sustain sufficient blood flow， and they ultimately
stop，” explains Sanjay Sinha， a cardiologist at Addenbrooke’s
Hospital in Cambridge.
However， within the next five years， there could be a new
alternative — to grow live， beating “heart patches （补丁）”.
Sinha， along with a team of biologists at the University of Cambridge’s Stem Cell Institute， is working on this innovative approach.
These heart patches are tiny， beating pieces of heart muscle.They are grown in lab dishes over a month.The process begins by taking blood
cells and reprogramming them into a specific type of stem cell capable of developing into any cell type within the human body.Sinha is currently preparing to test these patches， first in mice and then in pigs.If successful， he hopes to set up a human trial within five years.
In the United States， scientists from Stanford University are also
working on creating heart patches.They envision a future procedure where
ultrasound and MRI （超声波和核磁共振） scans are used to identify
damaged sections.Based on the shape of the section， a custom heart
patch would be 3D printed to fit perfectly.Surgeons would then open the
chest area and attach the patch directly to the heart.
The major challenge with this method is establishing “electrical
connectivity” between the new patch and the existing heart to ensure they
beat in harmony.Additionally， the cost of developing and using these
patches is significant， which could impact accessibility.However， if
these challenges can be overcome， Sinha is optimistic that heart patches
could transform the lives of millions worldwide.

（2025 河北省“五个一”名校联盟联考）The Wright brothers’ mother， Susan Catherine Koerner Wright， was an aggressive woman who attended Hartsville College， a rarity in those times.She had grown up on a farm and was very handy with tools.It is said that she could fix practically anything， and she was the one to solve the boys’ early engineering problems.Their father， Bishop Milton Wright， worked long hours on the farm and studied uninterruptedly.
The Wright children were expected to work hard.When they were young boys， their father Milton brought home a flying toy： a propeller （螺旋桨） made of bamboo and powered by a rubber band.Fascinated with it， the boys began experimenting with it immediately.Their great curiosity was restrained only by their lack of mechanical know－how.
As the boys grew， all mechanical things fascinated them.They were especially interested in bicycles and printing presses.Unfortunately， Susan died in 1889.Later， when the family struggled financially， the brothers dropped out of school and put their hands and minds to work.They published a weekly newspaper and opened a company， selling and repairing bicycles.
The business was successful enough to fund their flying experiments.It’s easy to imagine the brothers working long hours on bicycles during the day and assembling propellers， gears and motors in the back workshop in their off time.They spent hours on the beach watching birds glide.They made sketches and obsessed over the details of materials， dimensions， rotor spin and weight.Their work continued for more than a decade until they finally developed their dream： an airplane.
When it came time to test their first full－scale model in 1903， their father was anchored to the earth with doubts.He couldn’t bear the thought of losing his sons， so he made them promise never to fly together — that is， if their experiment ever got off the ground.
4.What effect did the Wright brothers’ parents have on their interests？（ ）
A.They raised engineering problems.
B.Both of the parents stimulated them.
C.Their father blocked their passion.

（2025 湖北省八校联考）Human responses to moral dilemmas can be influenced by statements written by the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT， according to a study published in Scientific Reports.The findings indicate that users may underestimate the extent to which their own moral judgments can be influenced by the chatbot.
Sebastian Krigel and colleagues asked ChatGPT multiple times whether it is right to sacrifice （牺牲） the life of one person in order to save the lives of five others.They found that ChatGPT wrote random statements arguing both for and against sacrificing one life， indicating that it is not biased towards a certain moral stance （立场）.
The authors then presented 767 US participants， who were on average 39 years old， with a dilemma whether to sacrifice one person’s life to save five others.Before answering， participants read a statement provided by ChatGPT arguing either for or against sacrificing one life to save five.Statements were from either a moral advisor or ChatGPT.After answering， participants were asked whether the statement they read influenced their answers.
Eighty percent of participants reported that their answers were not influenced by the statements they read.However， the authors found that the answers participants believed they would have provided without reading the statements were still more likely to agree with the moral stance of the statement they did read than with the opposite stance.This indicates that participants may have underestimated the influence of ChatGPT’s statements on their own moral judgments.
The authors suggest that the potential for chatbots to influence human moral judgments highlights the need for education to help humans better understand artificial intelligence.They propose that future research should design chatbots that either decline to answer questions requiring a moral judgment or answer these questions by providing multiple arguments and warnings.
8.What are ChatGPT’s answers to a certain moral stance like according to paragraph 2？（ ）
A.Inconsistent. B.Valuable.
C.Creative. D.Simple.
9.What is learned about the participants？（ ）
A.They admitted the power of ChatGPT.
B.They were interviewed by a moral advisor.
C.They were affected by ChatGPT unknowingly.
D.They were presented with different moral dilemmas.

A.Different findings of the study. B.Future potentials for chatbots.
C.Major focuses of future education. D.Solutions to the impact of chatbots.

（2025 衡水中学综合素质评价）Self－confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities.It’s usually seen as a good thing.But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs？
For many years， Dr Mark Leary， a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham， NC， has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior.He found overconfidence is very common， especially when it comes to what people believe to be true， and can lead us to disastrous decisions.In 1986， NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100，000.It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger.The good news is that there’s a “vaccine （疫苗）” for overconfidence， and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong.
A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge.They ended up knowing more at the end of the day.But does it actually help you beyond that？
To find out more， Dr Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students.She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding.When they got test scores， they’d change their study strategies to improve their performance and master the material for the next test.
Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read， heard， or did.Such students thought they got a subject down pat， but when asked to explain it on a test， they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought.
Although it might be good for you， researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard.Still， it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones.If you find it hard to question a belief， try taking “baby steps”.
12.Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger？（ ）
A.To express his sorrow for the loss.
B.To stress the high risk of space flights.
C.To show the result of wrong operation.
D.To give an example of overconfidence.
13.What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research？（ ）
A.It urged students to gain recognition.
B.It encouraged students to take exams.
C.It helped students to adjust learning methods.
D.It motivated students to memorize knowledge.
14.What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5？（ ）
A.Fully mastered a subject. B.Put great effort into a subject.
C.Really enjoyed a subject. D.Benefited a lot from a subject.
15.What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs？（ ）
A.Why questioning our belief is hard. B.Why intellectual humility is helpful.
C.How to become a confident person. D.How to practice intellectual humility.

（2025 郑州质量预测）Adversity Quotient （AQ，逆境商数）， which is also known as the “Adversity Intelligence”， measures a person’s ability to handle setbacks and struggles in difficult situations. Unlike IQ or EQ， AQ focuses on resilience — the power to recover from failures and adapt to adversity. 16.（ ） Psychologist Dr Paul Stoltz， who first proposed the concept in the 1990s， emphasized that AQ is crucial for personal and professional success， especially when IQ and EQ levels are similar among individuals.
Why does AQ matter？ In today’s fast－paced world， challenges are unavoidable. High AQ individuals tend to view difficulties as temporary and manageable. 17.（ ） In contrast， those with low AQ often feel stuck， blame others， and find it hard to keep going. Studies suggest that 80% of long－term success relies on EQ and AQ， while IQ contributes only 20%.
Dr Stoltz identified four components to evaluate AQ：
Control：18.（ ） High AQ individuals actively seek ways to regain control， even in terrible circumstances.
Ownership：The willingness to take responsibility for improving outcomes.19.（ ）
Reach：Limiting the impact of adversity.Resilient people prevent setbacks from spreading to unrelated areas of life.
Endurance （耐久力）：Perceiving challenges as temporary. Optimism about the duration of difficulties helps maintain motivation.
20.（ ） Schools and workplaces now give priority to “adversity training” to cultivate resilience. Strategies include changing negative thoughts， setting small achievable goals， and learning from past failures. As the saying goes，“Smooth seas never make a skilled sailor.” Accepting challenges shapes a stronger character.
A.AQ alone can really determine success.
B.AQ can be developed through intentional practice.
C.The influence one believes one can have over a situation.
D.However， constantly analyzing failures may lead to anxiety.
E.They stay positive and prevent them hurting other parts of life.
F.A person with high AQ won’t easily give up in the face of hardship.
G.High AQ individuals are responsible for their actions and focus on solutions.

12.D 写作意图题。根据第二段内容可知，作者先介绍了科学家发现过度自信可能导致严重后果，之后提及1986年这起灾难。由此推知，提及“挑战者号”爆炸是为了举例说明过度自信会导致灾难。
13.C 细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句可知，智力谦逊这种特质会使学生及时反思自己的学习，相应调整学习方法。
14.A 词义猜测题。根据第五段第二句可知，学生们在考试之前应是对自己比较自信，认为自己对该相关知识十分了解，或已经全会了，但到考场答题时，才发现自己会的不如原本所认为的那么多。因此，画线短语意为“对某科目了解很多”或“对某科目完全掌握”。
15.D 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句及最后一段最后一句可知，最后一句中所说的question a belief指的是recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong，也就是第二段最后一句引号中所说的“智力谦逊”。全文最后一句又说，“可以尝试迈出‘一小步’”。由此推知，所谓的“一小步”究竟该怎么做，会在下文进行介绍，即如何练习做到“智力谦逊”。
第二节
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了AQ的定义、重要性、核心构成要素，以及如何通过训练提升AQ。
16.F 空前讲述AQ侧重于恢复力——从失败中恢复和适应逆境的能力。F项（高逆境商数的人在困难面前不会轻易放弃）承接上文，继续讲述逆境商数的内涵，符合语境。
17.E 空前讲述高逆境商数的人倾向于认为困难是暂时的和可处理的。E项（他们保持积极，防止它们伤害生活的其他部分）承接上文，继续讲述这类人的思维习惯。E项中的They指代前一句中的High AQ individuals，them指代difficulties。
18.C 根据下文中Ownership、 Reach和Endurance冒号后的内容可知，此处也应该填写名词性短语，对空前的Control进行解释。结合常识和选项可知，C项（一个人认为自己对某种情况所能产生的影响）符合语境。
19.G 根据空前信息“主人翁精神：为改善结果承担责任的意愿”可知，G项（高逆境商数的人对自己的行为负责，并专注于解决方案）承接上文，符合语境。G项中的responsible、 solutions分别与空前的responsibility和outcomes相呼应。
20.B 空后讲学校和工作场所现在优先考虑“逆境训练”以培养适应力；策略包括改变消极的想法、设定可实现的小目标和从过去的失败中学习。所以B项（逆境商数可以通过有意识的练习来培养）符合语境。

（2025·河北省“五个一”名校联盟联考）The Wright brothers’
mother， Susan Catherine Koerner Wright， was an aggressive woman
who attended Hartsville College， a rarity in those times.She had grown
up on a farm and was very handy with tools.It is said that she could fix
practically anything， and she was the one to solve the boys’ early
engineering problems.Their father， Bishop Milton Wright， worked
long hours on the farm and studied uninterruptedly.
The Wright children were expected to work hard.When they were
young boys， their father Milton brought home a flying toy： a propeller
（螺旋桨） made of bamboo and powered by a rubber band.Fascinated
with it， the boys began experimenting with it immediately.Their great
curiosity was restrained only by their lack of mechanical know-how.
As the boys grew， all mechanical things fascinated them.They were especially interested in bicycles and printing presses.Unfortunately，
Susan died in 1889.Later， when the family struggled financially， the
brothers dropped out of school and put their hands and minds to work.
They published a weekly newspaper and opened a company， selling and repairing bicycles.
The business was successful enough to fund their flying
experiments.It’s easy to imagine the brothers working long hours on
bicycles during the day and assembling propellers， gears and motors in
the back workshop in their off time.They spent hours on the beach
watching birds glide.They made sketches and obsessed over the details of
materials， dimensions， rotor spin and weight.Their work continued for
more than a decade until they finally developed their dream： an airplane.
When it came time to test their first full-scale model in 1903， their
father was anchored to the earth with doubts.He couldn’t bear the
thought of losing his sons， so he made them promise never to fly
together — that is， if their experiment ever got off the ground.

（2025·湖北省八校联考）Human responses to moral dilemmas
can be influenced by statements written by the artificial intelligence
chatbot ChatGPT， according to a study published in Scientific
Reports.The findings indicate that users may underestimate the extent to
which their own moral judgments can be influenced by the chatbot.
Sebastian Krigel and colleagues asked ChatGPT multiple times
whether it is right to sacrifice （牺牲） the life of one person in order to
save the lives of five others.They found that ChatGPT wrote random
statements arguing both for and against sacrificing one life， indicating
that it is not biased towards a certain moral stance （立场）.
The authors then presented 767 US participants， who were on
average 39 years old， with a dilemma whether to sacrifice one person’s
life to save five others.Before answering， participants read a statement
provided by ChatGPT arguing either for or against sacrificing one life to
save five.Statements were from either a moral advisor or ChatGPT. After
answering， participants were asked whether the statement they read
influenced their answers.
Eighty percent of participants reported that their answers were not
influenced by the statements they read.However， the authors found that
the answers participants believed they would have provided without
reading the statements were still more likely to agree with the moral stance of the statement they did read than with the opposite stance.This indicates that participants may have underestimated the influence of ChatGPT’s
statements on their own moral judgments.
The authors suggest that the potential for chatbots to influence human
moral judgments highlights the need for education to help humans better
understand artificial intelligence.They propose that future research should
design chatbots that either decline to answer questions requiring a moral
judgment or answer these questions by providing multiple arguments and
warnings.

（2025·衡水中学综合素质评价）Self-confidence is trusting in our
abilities or qualities.It’s usually seen as a good thing.But is it possible
that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs？
For many years， Dr Mark Leary， a neuroscientist at Duke
University in Durham， NC， has studied the role of people’s beliefs in
their behavior.He found overconfidence is very common， especially
when it comes to what people believe to be true， and can lead us to
disastrous decisions.In 1986， NASA believed that the risk of loss for any
space flight was roughly 1 in 100，000.It was an overconfident belief and
might have led to the explosion of the Challenger.The good news is that
there’s a “vaccine （疫苗）” for overconfidence， and that’s what
scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs
could be wrong.
A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility
found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be
more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge.They ended up
knowing more at the end of the day.But does it actually help you beyond
that？
To find out more， Dr Tenelle Porter at Ball State University
conducted a series of studies with high school students.She found that
students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test
themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out
potential holes in their understanding.When they got test scores， they’d
change their study strategies to improve their performance and master the
material for the next test.
Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might
instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask
themselves if they truly understood what they read， heard， or did.Such
students thought they got a subject down pat， but when asked to explain
it on a test， they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they
had thought.
Although it might be good for you， researchers recognize that
questioning your beliefs can be truly hard.Still， it’s important to
remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones
with new ones.If you find it hard to question a belief， try taking “baby
steps”.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
（2025·郑州质量预测）Adversity Quotient （AQ，逆境商
数）， which is also known as the “Adversity Intelligence”， measures
a person’s ability to handle setbacks and struggles in difficult situations.
Unlike IQ or EQ， AQ focuses on resilience — the power to recover from
failures and adapt to adversity. 16. Psychologist Dr Paul Stoltz，
who first proposed the concept in the 1990s， emphasized that AQ is
crucial for personal and professional success， especially when IQ and EQ
levels are similar among individuals.
Why does AQ matter？ In today’s fast-paced world， challenges
are unavoidable. High AQ individuals tend to view difficulties as
temporary and manageable. 17. In contrast， those with low AQ
often feel stuck， blame others， and find it hard to keep going. Studies
suggest that 80% of long-term success relies on EQ and AQ， while IQ
contributes only 20%.
Dr Stoltz identified four components to evaluate AQ：
Control：18. High AQ individuals actively seek ways to regain
control， even in terrible circumstances.
Ownership：The willingness to take responsibility for improving
outcomes.19.
Reach：Limiting the impact of adversity.Resilient people prevent
setbacks from spreading to unrelated areas of life.
Endurance （耐久力）：Perceiving challenges as temporary.
Optimism about the duration of difficulties helps maintain motivation.
20. Schools and workplaces now give priority to “adversity
training” to cultivate resilience. Strategies include changing negative
thoughts， setting small achievable goals， and learning from past
failures. As the saying goes，“Smooth seas never make a skilled
sailor.” Accepting challenges shapes a stronger character.
A. AQ alone can really determine success.
B. AQ can be developed through intentional practice.
C. The influence one believes one can have over a situation.
D. However， constantly analyzing failures may lead to anxiety.
E. They stay positive and prevent them hurting other parts of life.
F. A person with high AQ won’t easily give up in the face of hardship.
G. High AQ individuals are responsible for their actions and focus on
solutions.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了AQ的定义、重要
性、核心构成要素，以及如何通过训练提升AQ。
16. F 空前讲述AQ侧重于恢复力——从失败中恢复和适应逆境的能
力。F项（高逆境商数的人在困难面前不会轻易放弃）承接上文，继
续讲述逆境商数的内涵，符合语境。

的。E项（他们保持积极，防止它们伤害生活的其他部分）承接上
文，继续讲述这类人的思维习惯。E项中的They指代前一句中的High
AQ individuals，them指代difficulties。
18. C 根据下文中Ownership、 Reach和Endurance冒号后的内容可
知，此处也应该填写名词性短语，对空前的Control进行解释。结合常
识和选项可知，C项（一个人认为自己对某种情况所能产生的影响）
符合语境。

可知，G项（高逆境商数的人对自己的行为负责，并专注于解决方
案）承接上文，符合语境。G项中的responsible、 solutions分别与空前
的responsibility和outcomes相呼应。
20. B 空后讲学校和工作场所现在优先考虑“逆境训练”以培养适
应力；策略包括改变消极的想法、设定可实现的小目标和从过去的失
败中学习。所以B项（逆境商数可以通过有意识的练习来培养）符合
语境。
