考情分析
高考英语中的推理判断题，有从“考知识”向“考能力”转变的核心趋势，近三年的考题越来越注重考查学生在真实语境中分析、推断、概括和评价的高阶思维能力。
2023年 难度有所提升，推理判断是仅次于细节理解的第二大题型，思辨性强的说明文以推理判断和作者态度题为主。话题有科学研究（如“群体智慧”新发现）、历史观点（文字与实物史料）等
2024年 对分析与推理能力的考查突出且持续增加，试题更开放灵活，要求独立思考和逻辑分析，话题主要有科技影响（纸读与数字阅读）、生态研究（生物样本采集）、社会文化（中西医结合）等
2025年通过创新情境设计（如选择英语报栏目）和多视角语篇考查批判性与创新性思维。话题有环境治理（微塑料污染与中国方案）、城市生活（街道安全规划）等
基于以上分析，可以从以下几个方面进行准备：
转变阅读重心：从“逐句翻译”转向分析语篇逻辑。练习时，主动梳理段落间的逻辑关系（因果、对比、例证），并关注承上启下的关键词。
精研高考真题：特别是2023至2025年的全国卷。做题后，对照答案解析，重点复盘做错的推理判断题，理解正确选项的推断路径。
拓宽阅读视野：多接触外刊、科普文章、论述文等思辨性强的英文材料，这能帮你熟悉复杂观点论述，积累应对陌生话题的经验。
强化逻辑训练：在平时阅读中，有意识地练习：概括段落主旨；分析作者如何论证观点；合上文章，推测后续内容或可能产生的影响。
命题趋势
根据近三年（2023-2025年）高考英语全国卷及新高考卷的真题分析，推理判断题的命题呈现出清晰且深刻的变革方向，其核心特点与趋势可归纳如下：
考查定位：从“重要”到“关键”
推理判断题已稳居阅读理解第二大题型（题量通常为3-5题），主要出现在D篇及七选五等区分度高的关键位置，是拉开考生分数差距的核心环节。
语篇选材：深度与思辨并重
选材彻底告别故事性叙述，全面转向学术性、论述性和多视角的复杂语篇。高频话题包括前沿科学研究（如群体智慧、微塑料治理）、社会文化现象（如阅读方式、中西医结合）及历史观点评析，要求考生具备处理陌生、抽象信息的能力。
设问方式：从“是什么”到“为什么”和“怎么样”
问题设计高度灵活，集中考查高阶思维：
推断深层含义：作者观点、写作意图、言外之意（如：What is the author’s attitude toward… ）。
进行逻辑建构：推断事件原因、结果或发展脉络（如：What led to the change ）。
实施评价创新：要求对信息或观点进行批判性评价（如：Which column would the text best fit in ）。
选项与干扰项设计：强调逻辑严谨性
正确答案必须完全基于文本逻辑推导得出，而非常识或个人经验。干扰项（俗称“陷阱”）常设置为：文中细节但非推断结论、过度延伸（过度推断）、偏离主旨、偷换概念等。
高考预测
基于近三年命题趋势及国家高考改革方向，对2026年高考英语推理判断题预测如下：
1. 核心趋势延续与深化：试题将继续强化对思维品质的考查，特别是批判性思维与创新思维。选材将更贴近科技前沿（如人工智能伦理、新能源突破）与社会发展现实，要求考生在复杂、多模态的文本中，进行深度分析与逻辑建构。
2. 命题形式可能创新：
情境更综合：可能进一步融合“读后续写”或“概要写作”的思维要求，例如，要求推断文章后续发展或概括不同观点。
文本更多元：可能增加非连续文本（如图表、数据与论述结合）的推理题，考查信息整合与逻辑推断能力。
设问更开放：或出现有限度的开放性设问（如：Which solution do you find more convincing Why ），答案需基于文本自洽推导，考查逻辑表达能力。
解题技巧
精准审题，确定方向
仔细阅读题干和选项，圈定关键词（如人名、地名、核心概念），明确题目要求推断的是作者观点、写作目的、事件原因还是文本出处。
回归原文，定位信息
根据关键词快速定位到文章的相关句或段。推理的依据必须源自文本，切勿脱离原文凭空想象。
分析逻辑，谨慎推导
这是核心步骤。仔细研读定位句及其上下文，分析句子间的逻辑关系（因果、转折、举例、对比）。基于文本中明确的线索，进行一步逻辑推导，得出言外之意。
比对选项，排除干扰
将推导结论与选项逐一比对。正确答案通常是原文信息的合理、适度延伸。要果断排除以下三类经典干扰项：
原文重现：是文中原话，但并非推断出的结论。
过度推断：脱离原文基础，进行了多步跳跃或绝对化推理（如出现must, never等绝对词需警惕）。
无中生有：选项内容在原文中完全找不到依据。
真题回眸
真题1：推断文本出处（2024年全国甲卷，D篇）
题目：Where is this text most likely from
A. A science magazine.
B. A history textbook.
C. A travel brochure.
D. A personal diary.
原文线索：文章探讨了“群体智慧”现象的新研究，通过科学实验发现，在某些情况下，个体的独立判断比群体讨论后得出的结论更准确。文章包含研究过程、数据引用和科学结论。
正确答案：A
推理过程：
内容分析：文章核心是介绍一项最新的科学研究发现，涉及实验设计、数据分析和结论，具有明显的科普性质。
语言风格：文章使用客观、中立的学术语言，如“research indicates”、“the study found”、“data suggests”等，这是科学类文章的典型特征。
排除干扰：
B（历史教科书）：内容非历史事件或年代叙述，无历史教育框架。
C（旅行手册）：内容无景点介绍、行程推荐或实用旅行信息。
D（个人日记）：文章为第三人称客观叙述，无个人情感、主观经历或日记体格式。
技巧点睛：推断文本出处题，需综合判断文章体裁、语言风格、内容深度和预期读者。科普类文章通常客观介绍研究发现，面向普通读者。
真题2：推断作者观点（2023年新高考I卷，C篇）
题目：What is the author’s attitude towards the use of digital devices in classrooms
A. Supportive.
B. Tolerant.
C. Disapproving.
D. Unclear.
原文关键句：While technology offers unprecedented access to information, its constant presence in the classroom has raised concerns about shortened attention spans and reduced face-to-face interaction. Studies have shown that students who take notes by hand often demonstrate deeper understanding than those typing on laptops.
正确答案：C
推理过程：
定位情感词：作者使用了“raised concerns”（引发担忧）这一具有负面倾向的短语，直接表明了对教室中科技设备泛滥的忧虑态度。
分析论据：作者引用了研究结果，证明手写笔记的学生比用笔记本电脑的学生理解更深入。这作为证据支持了其担忧，暗示数字设备可能对深度学习有阻碍。
整体判断：作者在指出科技带来信息便利的同时（客观承认优点），更着重强调其带来的问题（注意力缩短、互动减少、理解肤浅），利弊的侧重体现了其批判性立场。
技巧点睛：推断作者观点题，需捕捉带有感彩或评价性的词汇，并分析作者是平衡论述还是有所侧重。转折词（如while）后的内容往往是重点。
真题3：推断段落目的（2024年新高考I卷，B篇）
题目：Why does the author mention the study in paragraph 3
A. To present a contrasting opinion.
B. To illustrate a successful application.
C. To introduce a controversial topic.
D. To explain a theoretical concept.
原文结构：
第二段：提出观点“中西医结合治疗某些慢性病可能有独特优势”。
第三段：引用了一项具体研究，该研究跟踪了200名患者，显示结合疗法组在康复率和生活质量指标上显著优于单一疗法组。
第四段：进一步讨论这种结合面临的挑战和未来前景。
正确答案：B
推理过程：
分析段落关系：第三段处于“提出观点（第二段）”和“深入讨论（第四段）”之间，是典型的“观点-例证-延伸” 结构。
判断内容功能：第三段没有提出新理论、对立观点或争议，而是用具体数据和研究结果，来支撑和证实第二段提出的“有独特优势”这一观点。其功能是提供实证。
排除干扰：
A（提出对立观点）：研究结果支持上文观点，并未对比或反驳。
C（引入争议话题）：话题在第二段已引入，本段是论证。
D（解释理论概念）：段落内容是实证研究，而非概念解释。

2025 年河北省石家庄市高考英语一模阅读理解 B 篇
Urban beekeeping has become a rising trend in cities across Europe over the past decade. As green spaces shrink and wild bee populations decline, more and more city dwellers are taking up beekeeping to help support local ecosystems. Unlike rural beehives, which are often placed in open fields, urban hives can be found on rooftops, balconies, and even in community gardens.
A study by the European Bee Research Association tracked 500 urban beehives in 10 major European cities from 2020 to 2024. The results showed that urban bees produce an average of 15 kilograms of honey per hive each year, slightly less than their rural counterparts. However, urban bees are more resistant to certain pests and diseases, possibly because city environments expose them to a wider variety of flowering plants throughout the year.
Many businesses have also joined the movement. Cafés in Berlin and Paris now host beehives on their rooftops, using the honey to make drinks and desserts for customers. A spokesperson for a Berlin café said, “Our rooftop beehives are not just a marketing tool. They are a way to connect our customers to nature and show them how even small actions can make a difference.”
Local governments have supported the trend too. Some cities offer free beekeeping workshops and subsidize the cost of beehives for residents. However, experts warn that urban beekeeping requires proper training. “Novice beekeepers may accidentally harm the bees or themselves if they don’t know how to handle the hives correctly,” said Dr. Elena Marquez, a bee conservationist. “It’s not just about putting a hive on a rooftop—it’s about understanding the bees’ needs.”
It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. urban bees produce more honey than rural bees every year
B. urban beekeeping is only a way to attract more customers for businesses
C. urban environments provide diverse food sources for bees
D. local governments will stop subsidizing beehives due to safety concerns
答案C
详解:
题型定位：推理判断题，考查对文中细节的隐含逻辑推断。
解题思路
选项 A：原文明确提到 “urban bees produce an average of 15 kilograms of honey per hive each year, slightly less than their rural counterparts”，即城市蜜蜂产蜜量低于农村蜜蜂，该选项与原文相反，排除。
选项 B：文中咖啡店发言人指出 “Our rooftop beehives are not just a marketing tool”，说明商业机构养蜂不只是为了吸引顾客，该选项 “only” 表述绝对化，排除。
选项 C：原文提到城市蜜蜂 “more resistant to certain pests and diseases, possibly because city environments expose them to a wider variety of flowering plants throughout the year”，开花植物是蜜蜂的主要食物来源，由此可推断城市环境能为蜜蜂提供多样化的食物，该选项符合推断逻辑，当选。
选项 D：原文仅提及专家提醒养蜂需要专业培训，未提及政府会因安全问题停止补贴，属于无中生有，排除。

2025 年湖北省武汉市高考英语一模阅读理解 C 篇
Silent libraries have been popping up in cities across China since 2023, offering a quiet escape from the noise of urban life. Unlike traditional libraries, silent libraries have strict rules: no talking, no phone calls, and no rustling of book pages that can disturb others. Visitors must wear noise-canceling headphones if they need to listen to audio materials, and even turning pages should be done slowly and gently.
The first silent library opened in Chengdu in early 2023, and it quickly gained popularity among students and office workers. A college student named Li Mei said, “I come here every weekend to study for my postgraduate entrance exams. The silence here is so precious—I can focus better than I do at home or in the school library.”
Silent libraries also differ from traditional ones in their design. Most of them have soundproof reading booths, soft lighting, and ergonomic chairs to create a comfortable and distraction-free environment. Some libraries even provide free tea and snacks to keep visitors energized, but they are served in packaging that makes no noise when opened.
However, the concept has also sparked some debate. Critics argue that libraries should be places for communication and discussion, and the strict silence rules go against the spirit of sharing knowledge. A librarian in Guangzhou said, “While we understand the need for quiet spaces, we should also preserve areas where people can talk and exchange ideas.” In response, many silent libraries have set up small “talking zones” outside the main reading area to balance silence and communication.
We can infer from the passage that silent libraries ______.
A. have completely replaced traditional libraries in China
B. have solved all the problems of noise in urban public spaces
C. are designed to meet the demand for distraction-free study environments
D. ban all forms of communication among visitors without exception
答案C

题型定位：推理判断题，考查对文章主旨和细节的综合推断。
解题思路
选项 A：原文仅说明静音图书馆在国内多个城市出现并受欢迎，并未提及 “完全取代传统图书馆”，表述过于绝对，排除。
选项 B：静音图书馆只能提供局部的安静空间，无法解决 “城市公共空间的所有噪音问题”，属于过度推断，排除。
选项 C：原文提到学生李梅的评价 “The silence here is so precious—I can focus better than I do at home or in the school library”，且图书馆设计了隔音阅读间、柔和灯光等，由此可推断静音图书馆的设计初衷是满足人们对无干扰学习环境的需求，该选项符合文意，当选。
选项 D：原文最后指出很多静音图书馆设置了 “谈话区”，说明并非 “禁止所有交流”，该选项与原文相反，排除。

（一）
A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体): a king oyster mushroom.
By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light.
The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities.
There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (生育) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake.
“Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University.
The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple kit ordered online. The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly. They cultivated the mushroom’s mycelium, which can form networks that, according to the study, can sense, communicate and transport nutrients.
The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then you culture them, and when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.”
1．What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph
A．They can control living creatures.
B．They can make various movements.
C．They are powered by king oyster mushrooms.
D．They are partly mushroom and partly machine.
2．What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4
A．The future possibilities of biohybrid robots.
B．The seriousness of the environmental issues.
C．The limitations of biohybrid robots beyond the lab.
D．The advantages of biohybrid robots over conventional ones.
3．What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots
A．Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia.
B．Arranging the electrode in the right order.
C．Developing a system to cultivate the mycelia.
D．Placing the electrode accurately on the mycelia.
4．Why do researchers develop biohybrid robots
A．To replace artificial systems entirely.
B．To create fully self-replicating organisms.
C．To reduce environmental impacts of robots.
D．To integrate biological advantages into machines.
【答案】 2．A 4．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了康奈尔大学团队研发的由杏鲍菇菌丝体控制的生物混合机器人，阐述其研发原理、难点及未来应用前景，并说明研发这类机器人旨在结合生物特性优化人工系统。
2．推理判断题。根据第四段“There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (生育) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake.(生物混合机器人要走出实验室、实现广泛应用，还有很长的路要走。但研究人员期待未来有一天，机器水母能遨游海洋开展探索，精子驱动机器人可助力不孕不育治疗，半机械蟑螂能在地震过后搜寻幸存者。)”可知，作者先提到生物混合机器人离走出实验室实现广泛应用还有距离，随后列举了未来应用的例子（如机器人水母探索海洋、精子动力机器人提供生育治疗等），旨在展示生物混合机器人的未来应用前景和可能性。故选A。
4．推理判断题。第五段中作者通过引用Shepherd教授的话“Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better. (生物混合技术，就是试图从生物界寻找可用、可理解且可操控的组件，以此助力人工系统更高效地运转。)”指出生物混合的目的是利用生物世界的组件，帮助人工系统更好地工作，利用生物材料的优势（如感知能力）提升机器性能，即把生物优势整合到机器中。故选D。
（二）
A few weeks ago, I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays. As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations (语调) of the driver’s accent washed over me in a familiar way.
I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family. I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. That’s how he found out I go to Harvard. An approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window (后视镜), and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter, all grown up — the product of his sacrifice.
And then came the fateful question: “What do you study ” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didn’t even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history ”
Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know. We are to become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous) — to make money and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made across generations which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative of upward mobility so your children can do the same.
I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, I’ve promised myself I won’t huff and get annoyed at their inquiries. I won’t defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school” when I get unrequested advice. I’ll just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.
5．What disappointed the driver
A．The sacrifice of the author’s parents.
B．The author’s choice of major at college.
C．The author’s casual attitude towards study.
D．The author’s poor academic performance at Harvard.
6．Which word can replace the underlined word “squandering” in Paragraph 4
A．Wasting. B．Replacing. C．Valuing. D．Expecting.
7．Why are immigrant kids expected to become doctors or lawyers according to the passage
A．To gain higher social respect and recognition.
B．To fulfill the unachieved dreams of their parents.
C．To secure financial success and family advancement.
D．To gain easier access to top universities like Harvard.
8．What is the author’s attitude towards the driver’s questioning
A．Critical. B．Tolerant. C．Doubtful. D．Supportive.
【答案】 8．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文通过讲述作者与一位西非移民Uber司机的对话经历，展现移民家庭对子女从事高薪职业的期望，以及作者面对这种期望从焦虑转为包容的心态变化。
8．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, I’ve promised myself I won’t huff and get annoyed at their inquiries. I won’t defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school” when I get unrequested advice. I’ll just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.(以前，每次被问到这类问题，我都会满心焦虑，仿佛被逼到了墙角；但如今，作为一名大三学生，我心里更多的是对他们这份期许的感激。这个假期，我暗自下定决心：再听到这样的询问，我不会再烦躁地抱怨，也不会急着辩解 “我以后打算读法学院” 来回应这些主动送上的建议。我会笑着点点头，好好享受当下这份温情。)”可知，作者以前面对这类提问会感到焦虑，但现在作为大三学生，更多的是感激他们的支持，还决心不会再对这些询问感到烦躁，只会微笑点头。这体现出作者对司机的质疑持包容、体谅的态度。故选B项。

In the six years since I published Maid, almost every person who’s interviewed me has asked me the same question: Do I, a person who became kind of famous for writing about cleaning people’s houses, have a house cleaner myself
The simple answer was no. But it was not because my house was spotless. Far from it. When I worked as a house cleaner, I made a reasonable $20 an hour. My clients were pleasant. Nevertheless, a power imbalance weighed on me whenever I had to get on my hands and knees to clean the floors and toilets. To hire a house cleaner myself would mean not only putting someone in that position, where they, too, might feel worthless, but also becoming someone I used to hate.
I had been resisting hiring someone to help until four years later, when my neighbor persuaded me to call a friend of hers who owned a cleaning company. The more I talked to the owner, the better I felt like hiring cleaners to help us. The company prioritized its employees’ well-being by paying them a fair living wage, and if a client canceled, instead of ignoring it, the company would manage to offer them the same number of hours on another job to make up for it.
Last fall, my husband went abroad for four months, and my whole life was in a mess. Between work and caring for the kids and house on my own, there wasn’t much left for me. But one day I walked into my bedroom and saw the neat bed and tidy items the cleaners had arranged. It made me smile, then brought tears to my eyes. It was the first time in weeks that someone had made a lot of effort to take care of me. It’s only now that I’m a client myself that I can see the value of the work I did at my former job.
All these years later, aware of the great respect and gratitude I have for the hardworking people who clean my house, I am able to better appreciate the person I was back then and be proud of the work she did to take care of others.
9．Why did the author initially refuse to hire a house cleaner
A．She couldn’t afford it.
B．She hated the inequality.
C．She owned a spotless house.
D．She preferred cleaning by herself.
10．What did the author think of the cleaning company
A．Inflexible. B．Principled. C．Considerate. D．Demanding.
11．What did the author realize after becoming a cleaning client
A．Cleaners were occupied. B．Cleaning was meaningless.
C．Cleaners deserved higher pay. D．Cleaning brought great comfort.
12．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To describe a job. B．To introduce a book.
C．To illustrate a lesson. D．To recommend a company.
【答案】9．B 11．D 12．C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从抗拒雇清洁工到改变想法，雇佣后体会到清洁工作的价值，实现了自我认知与心态的转变。
9．推理判断题。根据第二段“Nevertheless, a power imbalance weighed on me whenever I had to get on my hands and knees to clean the floors and toilets. To hire a house cleaner myself would mean not only putting someone in that position, where they, too, might feel worthless, but also becoming someone I used to hate. (然而，每当我不得不跪下来清洁地板和厕所时，一种权力上的不平衡感总是让我感到沉重。自己雇清洁工不仅意味着把别人置于那种可能会感到自己毫无价值的境地，也意味着我变成了自己曾经讨厌的那种人)”可推知，作者最初拒绝雇清洁工是因为厌恶这种不平等的关系。故选B项。
11．推理判断题。根据第四段“But one day I walked into my bedroom and saw the neat bed and tidy items the cleaners had arranged. It made me smile, then brought tears to my eyes. It was the first time in weeks that someone had made a lot of effort to take care of me.(但有一天，我走进卧室，看到清洁工整理的整洁床铺和有序物品，这让我露出笑容，随后热泪盈眶。这是几周来第一次有人花这么多心思照顾我)”可推知，作者成为客户后意识到清洁工作能带来极大的慰藉。故选D项。
12．推理判断题。根据第二段“To hire a house cleaner myself would mean not only putting someone in that position, where they, too, might feel worthless, but also becoming someone I used to hate.(我自己雇保洁员，不仅意味着把别人置于那样的境地——他们或许也会在其中感到毫无价值，还意味着我变成了自己曾经厌恶的那种人)”以及上下文可知，作者从曾经拒绝雇清洁工，到后来改变想法并体会到清洁工作的价值，最终懂得尊重这份职业和劳动者，也正视了自己过去的经历。由此推知，作者写这篇文章是为了阐明一个人生感悟。故选C项。

For thousands of years, there’s been a common belief in Western culture about emotions that they come on fast and uncontrollable. But a new study that has looked at what’s going on inside the brain and the body during specific emotional states has found that the theory doesn’t hold up.
For example, you’re walking in the woods, and you see a bear. You recognize it’s a bear. Then what happens
Previously, researchers thought that the fear touches off a series of physical and emotional responses so that your heart rate rises, your breath quickens and the adrenaline (肾上腺素)levels increase in your body and you are well-prepared to run away and live another day.
But the new study has drawn a totally different conclusion: The brain recognizes a bear, and then that recognition leads to all the physiological responses. In other words, to make the decision, your brain takes into account your past experiences and your memories. This step is key. For instance, if your past experiences with bears come largely through news reports of attacks, then your brain will likely interpret your physiological responses as fear. This emotion will help drive you away from the bear in order to live another day.
But what if you are a hunter And your past experience with a bear ended in a wonderful feast for you and your neighbors. Then your brain may interpret the physiological responses as excitement. This positive emotion will drive you toward the bear in order to bring home dinner.
The study concludes that the chosen emotion not only helps the brain make sense of these signals, but it also helps the brain predict better the immediate future and how to handle the situation at hand.
Understanding how these predictions work helps us realize that emotions aren’t uncontrollable reactions to particular situations. Next week, we’ll see how to control our emotions in different situations.
13．According to the common belief in Western culture, what is our first reaction to a bear
A．We will feel frightened. B．Our heart will beat very slowly.
C．We will control our breath. D．Less adrenaline will be produced.
14．What will help us put our emotions under control according to the new study
A．Our personality. B．Our daily needs.
C．Our experiences. D．Our nerve system.
15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To prove a theory right. B．To introduce a new discovery.
C．To provide some advice. D．To call for wildlife protection.
16．Where is the text most probably taken from
A．A news report. B．A textbook. C．A test result. D．A lecture.
【答案】 15．B 16．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍西方传统情绪观点被新研究推翻，揭示大脑认知主导情绪反应的新发现。
15．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But a new study that has looked at what’s going on inside the brain and the body during specific emotional states has found that the theory doesn’t hold up. (但一项针对特定情绪状态下大脑和身体内部变化的新研究发现，这一理论并不成立)”以及全文围绕新研究结论展开阐述的内容可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍这项关于情绪产生机制的新发现。故选B项。
16．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Next week, we’ll see how to control our emotions in different situations. (下周，我们将探讨如何在不同情况下控制自己的情绪)”可知，文章结尾有对后续内容的预告，这种表述方式常见于讲座文稿。故选D项。

China is experiencing a surge in generative artificial intelligence usage, with millions embracing the technology and its applications expanding across various fields, according to a report by the China Internet Network Information Center.
As of December last year, 249 million people in the country had used AI-generated products, and 302 AI-powered services were registered with the Cyberspace Administration of China, the nation’s top Internet regulator.
Of the users, 65.4 percent were between age 20 and 39, and 47 percent held associate degrees or higher, indicating AI products are more widely used among middle-aged and highly educated individuals.
While many users rely on AI as office assistants, the report also highlighted an increasing trend of generating pictures and videos through AI services. About 78 percent of users asked questions through AI-powered platforms to seek answers or solutions, with others using the technology to integrate information and generate meeting summaries.
AI applications have expanded into areas such as literary creation, online marketing, legal consulting, software engineering and healthcare. They are also improving efficiency in traditional manufacturing sectors, the report noted, attributing the progress to policies and guidelines supporting the healthy and sustainable development of AI technologies.
Between January and September last year, nine provincial-level administrations released plans or measures to promote AI-related industries, highlighting governmental support for innovation and oversight of its development.
“Amid the surge of AI, timely policies and measures encourage major funds, private capital and large enterprises to invest in the technological industry,” said Zhang Xiao, deputy head of the center. “At the same time, they help balance industrial growth with security.”
The report said China recorded 504 AI-related investment and financing cases in the first three quarters of last year, involving about 81.2 billion yuan.
China now has more than 4,500 AI-related enterprises, covering areas such as computer chips, algorithms and Internet platforms, Zhang said. She praised the technology’s role in industrial integration, noting its contributions to increasing agricultural output and reducing manufacturing costs by improving production tools and improving services.

考情分析
高考英语中的推理判断题，有从“考知识”向“考能力”转变的核心趋势，近三年的考题越来越注重考查学生在真实语境中分析、推断、概括和评价的高阶思维能力。
2023年 难度有所提升，推理判断是仅次于细节理解的第二大题型，思辨性强的说明文以推理判断和作者态度题为主。话题有科学研究（如“群体智慧”新发现）、历史观点（文字与实物史料）等
2024年 对分析与推理能力的考查突出且持续增加，试题更开放灵活，要求独立思考和逻辑分析，话题主要有科技影响（纸读与数字阅读）、生态研究（生物样本采集）、社会文化（中西医结合）等
2025年通过创新情境设计（如选择英语报栏目）和多视角语篇考查批判性与创新性思维。话题有环境治理（微塑料污染与中国方案）、城市生活（街道安全规划）等
基于以上分析，可以从以下几个方面进行准备：
转变阅读重心：从“逐句翻译”转向分析语篇逻辑。练习时，主动梳理段落间的逻辑关系（因果、对比、例证），并关注承上启下的关键词。
精研高考真题：特别是2023至2025年的全国卷。做题后，对照答案解析，重点复盘做错的推理判断题，理解正确选项的推断路径。
拓宽阅读视野：多接触外刊、科普文章、论述文等思辨性强的英文材料，这能帮你熟悉复杂观点论述，积累应对陌生话题的经验。
强化逻辑训练：在平时阅读中，有意识地练习：概括段落主旨；分析作者如何论证观点；合上文章，推测后续内容或可能产生的影响。
命题趋势
根据近三年（2023-2025年）高考英语全国卷及新高考卷的真题分析，推理判断题的命题呈现出清晰且深刻的变革方向，其核心特点与趋势可归纳如下：
考查定位：从“重要”到“关键”
推理判断题已稳居阅读理解第二大题型（题量通常为3-5题），主要出现在D篇及七选五等区分度高的关键位置，是拉开考生分数差距的核心环节。
语篇选材：深度与思辨并重
选材彻底告别故事性叙述，全面转向学术性、论述性和多视角的复杂语篇。高频话题包括前沿科学研究（如群体智慧、微塑料治理）、社会文化现象（如阅读方式、中西医结合）及历史观点评析，要求考生具备处理陌生、抽象信息的能力。
设问方式：从“是什么”到“为什么”和“怎么样”
问题设计高度灵活，集中考查高阶思维：
推断深层含义：作者观点、写作意图、言外之意（如：What is the author’s attitude toward… ）。
进行逻辑建构：推断事件原因、结果或发展脉络（如：What led to the change ）。
实施评价创新：要求对信息或观点进行批判性评价（如：Which column would the text best fit in ）。
选项与干扰项设计：强调逻辑严谨性
正确答案必须完全基于文本逻辑推导得出，而非常识或个人经验。干扰项（俗称“陷阱”）常设置为：文中细节但非推断结论、过度延伸（过度推断）、偏离主旨、偷换概念等。
高考预测
基于近三年命题趋势及国家高考改革方向，对2026年高考英语推理判断题预测如下：
1. 核心趋势延续与深化：试题将继续强化对思维品质的考查，特别是批判性思维与创新思维。选材将更贴近科技前沿（如人工智能伦理、新能源突破）与社会发展现实，要求考生在复杂、多模态的文本中，进行深度分析与逻辑建构。
2. 命题形式可能创新：
情境更综合：可能进一步融合“读后续写”或“概要写作”的思维要求，例如，要求推断文章后续发展或概括不同观点。
文本更多元：可能增加非连续文本（如图表、数据与论述结合）的推理题，考查信息整合与逻辑推断能力。
设问更开放：或出现有限度的开放性设问（如：Which solution do you find more convincing Why ），答案需基于文本自洽推导，考查逻辑表达能力。
解题技巧
精准审题，确定方向
仔细阅读题干和选项，圈定关键词（如人名、地名、核心概念），明确题目要求推断的是作者观点、写作目的、事件原因还是文本出处。
回归原文，定位信息
根据关键词快速定位到文章的相关句或段。推理的依据必须源自文本，切勿脱离原文凭空想象。
分析逻辑，谨慎推导
这是核心步骤。仔细研读定位句及其上下文，分析句子间的逻辑关系（因果、转折、举例、对比）。基于文本中明确的线索，进行一步逻辑推导，得出言外之意。
比对选项，排除干扰
将推导结论与选项逐一比对。正确答案通常是原文信息的合理、适度延伸。要果断排除以下三类经典干扰项：
原文重现：是文中原话，但并非推断出的结论。
过度推断：脱离原文基础，进行了多步跳跃或绝对化推理（如出现must, never等绝对词需警惕）。
无中生有：选项内容在原文中完全找不到依据。

2025 年河北省石家庄市高考英语一模阅读理解 B 篇
Urban beekeeping has become a rising trend in cities across Europe over the past decade. As green spaces shrink and wild bee populations decline, more and more city dwellers are taking up beekeeping to help support local ecosystems. Unlike rural beehives, which are often placed in open fields, urban hives can be found on rooftops, balconies, and even in community gardens.
A study by the European Bee Research Association tracked 500 urban beehives in 10 major European cities from 2020 to 2024. The results showed that urban bees produce an average of 15 kilograms of honey per hive each year, slightly less than their rural counterparts. However, urban bees are more resistant to certain pests and diseases, possibly because city environments expose them to a wider variety of flowering plants throughout the year.
Many businesses have also joined the movement. Cafés in Berlin and Paris now host beehives on their rooftops, using the honey to make drinks and desserts for customers. A spokesperson for a Berlin café said, “Our rooftop beehives are not just a marketing tool. They are a way to connect our customers to nature and show them how even small actions can make a difference.”
Local governments have supported the trend too. Some cities offer free beekeeping workshops and subsidize the cost of beehives for residents. However, experts warn that urban beekeeping requires proper training. “Novice beekeepers may accidentally harm the bees or themselves if they don’t know how to handle the hives correctly,” said Dr. Elena Marquez, a bee conservationist. “It’s not just about putting a hive on a rooftop—it’s about understanding the bees’ needs.”
It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A. urban bees produce more honey than rural bees every year
B. urban beekeeping is only a way to attract more customers for businesses
C. urban environments provide diverse food sources for bees
D. local governments will stop subsidizing beehives due to safety concerns

2025 年湖北省武汉市高考英语一模阅读理解 C 篇
Silent libraries have been popping up in cities across China since 2023, offering a quiet escape from the noise of urban life. Unlike traditional libraries, silent libraries have strict rules: no talking, no phone calls, and no rustling of book pages that can disturb others. Visitors must wear noise-canceling headphones if they need to listen to audio materials, and even turning pages should be done slowly and gently.
The first silent library opened in Chengdu in early 2023, and it quickly gained popularity among students and office workers. A college student named Li Mei said, “I come here every weekend to study for my postgraduate entrance exams. The silence here is so precious—I can focus better than I do at home or in the school library.”
Silent libraries also differ from traditional ones in their design. Most of them have soundproof reading booths, soft lighting, and ergonomic chairs to create a comfortable and distraction-free environment. Some libraries even provide free tea and snacks to keep visitors energized, but they are served in packaging that makes no noise when opened.
However, the concept has also sparked some debate. Critics argue that libraries should be places for communication and discussion, and the strict silence rules go against the spirit of sharing knowledge. A librarian in Guangzhou said, “While we understand the need for quiet spaces, we should also preserve areas where people can talk and exchange ideas.” In response, many silent libraries have set up small “talking zones” outside the main reading area to balance silence and communication.
题目
We can infer from the passage that silent libraries ______.
A. have completely replaced traditional libraries in China
B. have solved all the problems of noise in urban public spaces
C. are designed to meet the demand for distraction-free study environments
D. ban all forms of communication among visitors without exception

A wheeled robot rolls across the floor. A soft-bodied robotic star bends its five legs, moving awkwardly. Powered by conventional electricity via plug or battery, these simple robotic creations would be unremarkable, but what sets these two robots apart is that they are controlled by a living entity (实体): a king oyster mushroom.
By growing the mushroom’s mycelium (菌丝体) into the robot’s hardware, a team led by Cornell University researchers has engineered two types of robots that sense and respond to the environment by using electrical signals made by the mushroom and its sensitivity to light.
The robots are the latest accomplishment of scientists in a field known as biohybrid robotics who seek to combine biological, living materials such as plant and animal cells or insects with artificial components to make partly living and partly engineered entities.
There’s still a long way to go before biohybrid robots go beyond the lab, but researchers hope one day robot jellyfish may explore oceans, sperm-powered robots may be able to deliver fertility (生育) treatments and cyborg cockroaches could search for survivors in the wake of an earthquake.
“Biohybridization is an attempt to find components in the biological world that we can use, understand, and control to help our artificial systems work better,” said Shepherd, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at Cornell University.
The team began by growing king oyster mushrooms in the lab from a simple kit ordered online. The researchers chose this species of mushroom because it grows easily and quickly. They cultivated the mushroom’s mycelium, which can form networks that, according to the study, can sense, communicate and transport nutrients.
The team found it challenging to engineer a system that could detect and use the small electrical signals from the mycelia to command the robot. “You have to make sure that your electrode (电极) touches in the right position because the mycelia are very thin,” said lead author Anand Mishra. “Then you culture them, and when the mycelia start growing, they wrap around the electrode.”
1．What is special about the two robots in the first paragraph
A．They can control living creatures.
B．They can make various movements.
C．They are powered by king oyster mushrooms.
D．They are partly mushroom and partly machine.
2．What does the author want to show by giving the examples in paragraph 4
A．The future possibilities of biohybrid robots.
B．The seriousness of the environmental issues.
C．The limitations of biohybrid robots beyond the lab.
D．The advantages of biohybrid robots over conventional ones.
3．What did the team find difficult when engineering the robots
A．Wrapping the electrode with the mycelia.
B．Arranging the electrode in the right order.
C．Developing a system to cultivate the mycelia.
D．Placing the electrode accurately on the mycelia.
4．Why do researchers develop biohybrid robots
A．To replace artificial systems entirely.
B．To create fully self-replicating organisms.
C．To reduce environmental impacts of robots.
D．To integrate biological advantages into machines.

A few weeks ago, I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays. As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations (语调) of the driver’s accent washed over me in a familiar way.
I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to provide for his family. I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. That’s how he found out I go to Harvard. An approving eye glinted at me in the rearview window (后视镜), and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter, all grown up — the product of his sacrifice.
And then came the fateful question: “What do you study ” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didn’t even get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment, “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history ”
Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids know. We are to become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous) — to make money and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made across generations which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative of upward mobility so your children can do the same.
I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, I’m grateful for their support more than anything. This holiday season, I’ve promised myself I won’t huff and get annoyed at their inquiries. I won’t defensively respond with “but I plan to go to law school” when I get unrequested advice. I’ll just smile and nod, and enjoy the warmth of the occasion.
5．What disappointed the driver
A．The sacrifice of the author’s parents.
B．The author’s choice of major at college.
C．The author’s casual attitude towards study.
D．The author’s poor academic performance at Harvard.
6．Which word can replace the underlined word “squandering” in Paragraph 4
A．Wasting. B．Replacing. C．Valuing. D．Expecting.
7．Why are immigrant kids expected to become doctors or lawyers according to the passage
A．To gain higher social respect and recognition.
B．To fulfill the unachieved dreams of their parents.
C．To secure financial success and family advancement.
D．To gain easier access to top universities like Harvard.
8．What is the author’s attitude towards the driver’s questioning
A．Critical. B．Tolerant. C．Doubtful. D．Supportive.

In the six years since I published Maid, almost every person who’s interviewed me has asked me the same question: Do I, a person who became kind of famous for writing about cleaning people’s houses, have a house cleaner myself
The simple answer was no. But it was not because my house was spotless. Far from it. When I worked as a house cleaner, I made a reasonable $20 an hour. My clients were pleasant. Nevertheless, a power imbalance weighed on me whenever I had to get on my hands and knees to clean the floors and toilets. To hire a house cleaner myself would mean not only putting someone in that position, where they, too, might feel worthless, but also becoming someone I used to hate.
I had been resisting hiring someone to help until four years later, when my neighbor persuaded me to call a friend of hers who owned a cleaning company. The more I talked to the owner, the better I felt like hiring cleaners to help us. The company prioritized its employees’ well-being by paying them a fair living wage, and if a client canceled, instead of ignoring it, the company would manage to offer them the same number of hours on another job to make up for it.
Last fall, my husband went abroad for four months, and my whole life was in a mess. Between work and caring for the kids and house on my own, there wasn’t much left for me. But one day I walked into my bedroom and saw the neat bed and tidy items the cleaners had arranged. It made me smile, then brought tears to my eyes. It was the first time in weeks that someone had made a lot of effort to take care of me. It’s only now that I’m a client myself that I can see the value of the work I did at my former job.
All these years later, aware of the great respect and gratitude I have for the hardworking people who clean my house, I am able to better appreciate the person I was back then and be proud of the work she did to take care of others.
9．Why did the author initially refuse to hire a house cleaner
A．She couldn’t afford it.
B．She hated the inequality.
C．She owned a spotless house.
D．She preferred cleaning by herself.
10．What did the author think of the cleaning company
A．Inflexible. B．Principled. C．Considerate. D．Demanding.
11．What did the author realize after becoming a cleaning client
A．Cleaners were occupied. B．Cleaning was meaningless.
C．Cleaners deserved higher pay. D．Cleaning brought great comfort.
12．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To describe a job. B．To introduce a book.
C．To illustrate a lesson. D．To recommend a company.

For thousands of years, there’s been a common belief in Western culture about emotions that they come on fast and uncontrollable. But a new study that has looked at what’s going on inside the brain and the body during specific emotional states has found that the theory doesn’t hold up.
For example, you’re walking in the woods, and you see a bear. You recognize it’s a bear. Then what happens
Previously, researchers thought that the fear touches off a series of physical and emotional responses so that your heart rate rises, your breath quickens and the adrenaline (肾上腺素)levels increase in your body and you are well-prepared to run away and live another day.
But the new study has drawn a totally different conclusion: The brain recognizes a bear, and then that recognition leads to all the physiological responses. In other words, to make the decision, your brain takes into account your past experiences and your memories. This step is key. For instance, if your past experiences with bears come largely through news reports of attacks, then your brain will likely interpret your physiological responses as fear. This emotion will help drive you away from the bear in order to live another day.
But what if you are a hunter And your past experience with a bear ended in a wonderful feast for you and your neighbors. Then your brain may interpret the physiological responses as excitement. This positive emotion will drive you toward the bear in order to bring home dinner.
The study concludes that the chosen emotion not only helps the brain make sense of these signals, but it also helps the brain predict better the immediate future and how to handle the situation at hand.
Understanding how these predictions work helps us realize that emotions aren’t uncontrollable reactions to particular situations. Next week, we’ll see how to control our emotions in different situations.
13．According to the common belief in Western culture, what is our first reaction to a bear
A．We will feel frightened. B．Our heart will beat very slowly.
C．We will control our breath. D．Less adrenaline will be produced.
14．What will help us put our emotions under control according to the new study
A．Our personality. B．Our daily needs.
C．Our experiences. D．Our nerve system.
15．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To prove a theory right. B．To introduce a new discovery.
C．To provide some advice. D．To call for wildlife protection.
16．Where is the text most probably taken from
A．A news report. B．A textbook. C．A test result. D．A lecture.

Between January and September last year, nine provincial-level administrations released plans or measures to promote AI-related industries, highlighting governmental support for innovation and oversight of its development.
“Amid the surge of AI, timely policies and measures encourage major funds, private capital and large enterprises to invest in the technological industry,” said Zhang Xiao, deputy head of the center. “At the same time, they help balance industrial growth with security.”
The report said China recorded 504 AI-related investment and financing cases in the first three quarters of last year, involving about 81.2 billion yuan.
China now has more than 4,500 AI-related enterprises, covering areas such as computer chips, algorithms and Internet platforms, Zhang said. She praised the technology’s role in industrial integration, noting its contributions to increasing agricultural output and reducing manufacturing costs by improving production tools and improving services.
