We all know fresh is best when it comes to food.However，most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table.While farmer's markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey，Babylon Micro-Farm (BMF) shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system.It can be set up for a family.Additionally，it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital，restaurant or school.The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically，it's a farm that relies on new technology.By connecting through the Cloud，BMF is remotely monitored.Also，there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time.Because the system is automated，it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants.Rather than watering rows of soil，the system provides just the right amount to each plant.After harvest，users simply replace the plants with a new pre-seeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover，having a system in the same building where it's eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad.In addition，there's no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives.About half of them walk or bike to work.Inside the office，they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding single-use plastic.“We are passionate about reducing waste，carbon and chemicals in our environment，”said a BMF employee.
31.What does the text mainly talk about
A.BMF's major strengths. .BMF's general management.
C.BMF's global influence. .BMF's technical standards.
[自主解答]　______

【典例3】　(2025·全国一卷阅读C)
While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years，transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility，especially among young children.Many parents say there's too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school，so they pack them into the car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verkade and Marco te Br mmelstroet are bothered by facts like these.In their new book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives，they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades ago.Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere.Some communities fought back.Most famously，a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park.Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway，Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion “New York as a decent place to live，and not just rush through.”Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.
Although these campaigns were widespread，the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car.The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly.In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty-six million people，among the highest rate of car ownership in the world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through，but we fail to account for the true costs.Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can't move safely around our communities The authors of Movement have it right: it's time to think differently about that street outside your front door.

(2025·山东泰安二模)Tuan Pham was feeling pretty good about himself as he approached the 12-mile mark of the Long Beach Half Marathon in Southern California.The run on Oct.15，2023，was the 47-year-old's seventh such event，and he couldn't wait to celebrate at the finish line with his teenage son，who had raced ahead.Pham took another step or two，and that was the last thing he remembers.
He had no pulse，nor was he breathing.Three blocked arteries (动脉) had led to doing him in.He was clinically dead.If he didn't get help soon，he'd be officially dead.
The American Heart Association says the odds of surviving a heart attack outside of a hospital are less than 12%.Pham's only chance of survival was that someone，say，a cardiologist，happened to pass by.
Just as Pham hit the ground，Ryan Chiu，a cardiothoracic surgeon from Memorial Care Long Beach Medical Center，was leaving a restaurant a few feet away.Dr.Chiu immediately recognized what was happening.He ran to Pham's side and began chest compressions (挤压).He asked for the help of a bystander，who took over on compressions while Dr. Chiu called his hospital and told them to prepare an operating room and gather a surgical team.
Minutes later，an ambulance arrived.Medics scooped up Pham and sped him away to the hospital，with Dr. Chiu following in his own car.The surgery that Dr.Chiu performed was a success，and Pham is alive and well—well enough to return to the route of the Long Beach Half Marathon and pick up where he left off.
Pham likely wouldn't have had that opportunity if providence hadn't stepped in.After brunch，Chiu's friend asked him to stay a few more minutes so they could take in the ocean view.If Chiu had left the restaurant when he'd intended，he would never have witnessed Pham falling.“I can't believe the one guy，the first guy，to see me fall，to show up and give me help，was a cardiac surgeon，”Pham told the Post.“What are the odds？”
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Pham在半程马拉松比赛中突发心脏病，被心脏外科医生Chiu及时救治的故事。

(2025·山东滨州二模)Even if you don't worry that artificial intelligence (AI) will destroy the human race，you might concern that its fearsome appetite for electricity will destroy the environment.But the fear of disaster is unnecessary.In absolute terms，AI may be less energy-hungry than many people assume.Better still，AI can help decarbonise the industries that have proved hardest to clean up.
Consider AI's appetite for energy first.The International Energy Agency (IEA) reckons that electricity consumption by data centres could as much as triple in the next five years.Even if energy usage soars，though，the base is still low.Data centres today account for about 1.5% of the world's electricity consumption—and the vast majority of that is due to streaming，social media and online shopping，not AI.Moreover，some of AI's electricity use will help with greening the economy.AI excels at identifying complex patterns，dealing with giant data sets and perfecting systems，all of which can help reduce emissions.AI is already helping improve the efficiency of electrical grids (电网)，cut fuel use in shipping and spot otherwise invisible leaks of methane，a potent greenhouse gas.
The task for policymakers and industry bosses is to maximize such benefits while minimizing the climate impacts.The first is to rethink how data centers operate.The IEA notes that being able to shift workloads between different data centers at different times could reduce strain and help balance energy grids.More flexible data centers would also be a better match for the intermittent power produced by renewables such as wind and solar.
Second，tech firms should hold themselves to their own environmental promises.Microsoft，for instance，aims to become “carbon negative” by 2030.A better approach would be for the tech firms to use the influence that their large demand for energy gives them to accelerate the decarbonisation of grids.They could help unblock the deployment (部署) of clean energy more widely by pushing for planning reform，and go further in supporting the development and expansion of alternative sources such as geothermal and nuclear power.Doubling down on such approaches would help transform AI from climate suspect to climate hero.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能对能源消耗和环境的影响，并提出了通过政策制定者和行业领袖的努力，将人工智能从潜在的气候问题转变为气候解决方案的观点。
5.What can we learn about AI from the first paragraph
A.It accelerates the end of human race.
B.It consumes less energy than expected.
C.It slows the process of decarbonisation.
D.It causes great harm to our environment.

6.How can AI contribute to reducing emissions
A.By increasing the use of fossil fuels.
B.By reducing the need for data centers.
C.By replacing traditional industries entirely.
D.By processing massive data and enhancing systems.
解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“AI excels at identifying complex patterns，dealing with giant data sets and perfecting systems，all of which can help reduce emissions.”可知，人工智能可以通过处理大量数据和完善系统来助力减排。故选D。
7.What suggestion does the author give to tech companies
A.Expand data centers.
B.Promote cleaner energy.
C.Do further research.
D.Raise funds for the grids.

(2025·湖北重点中学第二次联考)A Chinese student studying in the UK shared a heartwarming story online about her tutor who quit her job to pursue a unique mission：knitting sweaters for penguins in Antarctica.The tutor's email reply to the student read，“Thank you for your email.I have left to pursue my dream of making sweaters for penguins in Antarctica and no longer work for the School of Economics.I will be out of office on a permanent，indefinite，open-ended basis until my penguin friends are happy.”
This act of kindness is part of a larger charity initiative that began after a major oil spill near Phillip Island，Australia，in the late 1990s.The spill severely affected the local penguin population，leading to a decline in their numbers and health over the following breeding seasons.When little penguins become oiled，they will try to clean the poisonous oil from their feathers with their beaks (喙)，and ingesting it can kill them.It also damages their delicate feathers，which exposes their skin to extreme temperatures and they are left cold，heavy and unable to swim or hunt for food.
In response to such incidents，the Penguin Foundation and Phillip Island Nature Parks launched a campaign urging enthusiasts worldwide to knit sweaters for the affected penguins.These sweaters serve a dual purpose：They provide temporary warmth and prevent the penguins from reaching their oily feathers with their beaks.The last significant oil spill around Phillip Island occurred in 2001，affecting 438 little penguins.With the help of these sweaters，96% of them were successfully rescued and released back into the wild.
The penguin jumper program has been running for over 20 years，and during this time，more than 200，000 sweaters have been knitted for penguins by generous knitters across the globe.
While some argue that the sweaters could potentially add extra pressure to the penguins' bodies or cause them to overheat，the Penguin Foundation explains that the sweaters are used temporarily to keep penguins warm before their bodies are washed and feathers recover.Besides，penguins need sweaters made of all wool，only those sweaters that meet the standard for wear can be received by the Penguin Foundation.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章以一名教师辞职去给南极洲企鹅编织毛衣的事例引出一项慈善活动的介绍，该活动呼吁全世界针织爱好者为受石油泄漏影响的企鹅纺织羊毛毛衣。
1.Why did the tutor quit her job
A.She was more attracted to knitting.
B.She decided to protect penguins in Antarctica.
C.She was dissatisfied with the School of Economics.
D.She was offered a position at the Penguin Foundation.
解析　B　细节理解题。根据第一段的“her tutor...mission：knitting sweaters for penguins in Antarctica”可知，该教师辞职是为了给南极洲企鹅编织毛衣；再结合第三段的“These sweaters serve a dual purpose：They provide temporary warmth and prevent the penguins from reaching their oily feathers with their beaks.”可知，毛衣可以为受石油泄漏影响的企鹅提供暂时的温暖，并防止企鹅用喙接触沾满石油的羽毛。由此可知，该教师辞职实质上是为了保护南极洲企鹅，故选B。
2.What does the underlined word “ingesting” mean in paragraph 2
A.Taking in.　　　 B.Feeding on.
C.Breathing in. D.Sweeping away.
解析　A　词义猜测题。根据第二段的“When little penguins become oiled，they will try to clean the poisonous oil from their feathers with their beaks (喙)”可知，当小企鹅被石油污染时，它们会试图用喙清理羽毛上的有毒石油。画线词后的it指代上文的“the poisonous oil”，再结合常识可知，此处表示摄入有毒石油，与A项“吞入(体内)”最为接近。
3.What harm will the oil spill cause for the penguins
A.It will make them overheated.
B.It will pose a threat to their survival.
C.It will make them more visible to the hunters.
D.It will make them fat and unhealthy.
解析　B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When little penguins become oiled...they are left cold，heavy and unable to swim or hunt for food.”可知，被石油污染后的企鹅会试图用喙清理羽毛上的有毒石油，而吞入有毒石油可能会杀死它们：有毒石油还会损害企鹅脆弱的羽毛，使它们的皮肤暴露在极端温度下，它们会变得又冷又重，无法游泳或觅食。由此可知，石油泄漏会对企鹅的生存构成威胁，故选B。
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A.Antarctic Penguins：A Call for Sweaters
B.Knitting for Conservation：A Global Issue
C.Antarctic Oil Spills：A Disaster on Penguins
D.Warmth in Every Stitch：Sweaters for Oiled Penguins
解析　D　标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了为受石油泄漏影响的企鹅编织毛衣的活动，故D项“每一针的温暖：为被石油污染的企鹅准备的毛衣”最适合作为本文标题。

(2025·贵阳质检)Space should not be a garbage dump.Nevertheless，the amount of space junk orbiting Earth has risen steeply in recent years.Now filled with dead rockets and satellites，our polluted orbital environment is becoming more crowded，threatening the growing space economy.It's time for nations—and the billionaires to clean up Earth's near orbit.
The U.S. Air Force tracks more than 25，000 pieces of space junk larger than 10 centimeters—about the size of a bagel—weighing together some 9，000 metric tons.This dangerous trash moves around Earth at speeds of roughly 10 kilometers per second，or more than 22，000 miles per hour.Collisions between millimeter-scale objects too small to track and working satellites are now routine.Orbital debris (碎片) collisions cost satellite operators an estimated $86 million to $103 million in losses a year.
Under the 1967 Outer Space Treaty (条约)，nations are supposed to be responsible for damages caused by space junk，even if it was originally launched by a private firm.That puts taxpayers，not space-exploring billionaires，on the hook for damages from orbital debris even if its origin can be proved and the company shown negligent (失职的).
No surprise，this hasn't worked.The problem is，after decades of discussion，there is still no international treaty that limits space junk or sets standards for negligence.We need one that outlines responsibilities and strictly requires fines on the companies whose spacecraft debris causes harm.
As long as doing the right thing is voluntary，it may not happen，concluded a 2018 Air Force Association report.The limited action since then tells us the world should have already worked on an agreement on compulsory standards.Few countries or companies currently design rockets for their complete life cycle.They must be forced to store enough fuel and keep the capability for spacecraft to drive safely out of space when their useful life is over.If spaceflight industries and nations fail to play by the new rules，they should be subjected to painful financial punishments.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。近年来，环绕地球的太空垃圾数量急剧增加。本文主要介绍了太空垃圾带来的损害和责任划分问题，并呼吁制定国际标准和惩罚措施。
5.What has happened to space in recent years
A.Space economy has been thriving.
B.The orbit pollutes rockets and satellites.
C.Space junk has increased rapidly.
D.The orbital environment becomes clean.
解析　C　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Nevertheless，the amount of space junk orbiting Earth has risen steeply in recent years.”可知，近年来围绕地球的太空垃圾数量急剧增加。故选C。
6.Who should be responsible for damages according to the Treaty
A.Billionaires. B.Taxpayers.
C.Firms. D.Operators.
解析　B　细节理解题。文章第三段涉及了1967年《外层空间条约》，根据该段内容，尤其是其中的“That puts taxpayers，not space-exploring billionaires，on the hook for damages”可知，根据1967年签署的《外层空间条约》，各国应对太空垃圾造成的损害负责，这意味着，是纳税人，而非探索太空的亿万富翁，为轨道碎片所造成的损害负责。故选B。
7.What could be the author's attitude towards the Treaty
A.Doubtful. B.Neutral.
C.Optimistic. D.Indifferent.
解析　A　观点态度题。根据第三段中两个even if引导的让步状语从句和“not space-exploring billionaires”可知，作者在介绍《外层空间条约》的相应规定时表示，即使太空垃圾最初是由私人公司发射的，并且能够证明是公司的失职，该条约规定责任人仍是国家，即纳税人；再由第四段内容可知，作者对该条约没有起作用并不感到意外，并且认为我们需要一份能够明确责任，并对航天器碎片造成损害的公司进行罚款的条约。由此可推断，作者对《外层空间条约》的态度是怀疑的。故选A。
8.What can be the best title for the text
A.Space Junk：A Problem to Be Solved
B.Space Economy：A Business to Be Built
C.Space Disaster：A Prediction on the Future
D.Space Exploration：A Trip to the Unknown
解析　A　标题归纳题。本文第一段就谈到太空垃圾问题，点明太空不应该成为垃圾场，接下来详细说明了太空垃圾问题和为解决这一问题提出的措施和呼吁，故A项“太空垃圾：一个有待解决的问题”最适合作为文章标题。

(2025·南京六校联合调研)One day，my 11-year-old daughter told me that she wanted to return a pair of pants on an online shopping platform.“You need to keep clicking the ‘something else’ button if you want to talk to a real person，” I told her.She followed my word，and after a bit of clicking，she managed to talk to a real person and get the pants returned.In the process，I had the chance to think about what this everyday interaction was teaching my daughter.
I thought about what it meant to constantly ask for “something else”.It's not only about having a real person to talk with.It's equally about the quality of our communication.It's about thinking something，then saying it，and then having another person think and say something back to you.It seems simple and yet it may become the exception，not the rule.In many cases，it already has.
With the “quick responses” at the bottom of the mailbox，potential responses often appear right in front of us.“Yes，sure.”“Of course！” or “I got it.” The responses，I've noticed，are mostly okay.Sometimes，they're exactly what I want to say.Occasionally，they're wildly wrong.At first，I told myself I wouldn't use those pre-made responses.Soon enough，though，I got in a rush and found they were good.
What would happen if our language got automated in general in this way What if，instead of generating responses，we simply pointed and clicked Choosing a response is a kind of thinking，but it's far less accurate than the kind needed to generate content.It has to do more with recognizing a “good enough” response.
Instead of starting with a blank board，we critique (评判) things.That's not useless，but it doesn't replace thinking in a generative way.If kids only critique something，they won't have original thoughts.They may become great editors，but they'll likely struggle to create ideas in fresh ways.
There's no simple solution and certainly no way to turn back the clock on the automated talk.Yet，as we move forward，we need to consider carefully how simple changes in communication can have serious effects.If we want to help our kids，the “something else” we searched for—authentic human conversation—should not be the exception，but the rule.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了自动化对话对人际沟通质量的影响和对孩子们创造性思维的影响。文章指出，为了帮助孩子们，真实的人类对话不应成为例外，而应成为常态。
9.What contributes to high-quality communication according to paragraph 2
A.The clear goals. B.The exact expressions.
C.The process of thinking. D.The immediate response.
解析　C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It's equally about the quality of our communication.It's about thinking something...say something back to you.”可知，寻求人工服务同样是寻求沟通质量的，它涉及思考某件事，然后说出来，然后有另一个人思考并回应你。因此结合选项可知，思考的过程有助于进行高质量的沟通。故选C。
10.How does the author feel about using the pre-made responses
A.Excited and eager to try them out.
B.Annoyed and not interested in them.
C.Disappointed by their inaccurate suggestions.
D.Unwilling but finally aware of their convenience.
解析　D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“At first，I told myself I wouldn't use...found they were good.”可知，作者最初告诉自己不会使用那些预制回复，但很快在匆忙中发现它们确实方便。这表明作者虽然对预制回复持保留态度，但最终还是接受了它们的便利性。故选D。
11.What would happen to kids with the automation of language
A.Their creativity will suffer.
B.Their critical thinking ability will increase.
C.Their editing skills will hardly improve.
D.Their expressions will be more accurate and efficient.
解析　A　细节理解题。根据第五段，尤其是其中的“If kids only critique something...create ideas in fresh ways.”可知，如果语言自动化，我们批判事物而不是从头思考；如果孩子们只会批判某事物，他们则不会有原创想法。他们可能成为优秀的编辑，但在创造新想法时可能会遇到困难。所以语言自动化将影响孩子们的创造力。故选A。
12.What can be the best title for the text
A.My Reflection on the Automated Talk
B.My Unforgettable Online Return Experience

(2025·南京六校联合调研)My initial exploration of the world of comic books happened through the comic strips in newspapers.It began with a fondness for Garfield and his adventures，and led to the discovery of a range of comic books like Champak and The Adventures of Tintin.They enabled me to enjoy myself in a world without computers and the Internet—just like so many of my friends who were fond of reading.
While my access to comics as a child was limited to what was printed in the newspaper，this changed once I grew older and started visiting bookstores to buy the books that I wanted to read.Having grown up on a diet of image-heavy books，I found the idea of reading text-only novels quite formidable.As I searched for books that lay somewhere in between，I came across a copy of Bhimayana—a graphic novel.It felt familiar due to its comic-like theme and design.Plus，understanding complex narratives through pictures was relatively easier and more fun.And so，as I grew older，I found myself transitioning towards graphic novels from childish comic books.
Graphic novels dealt with serious topics in a more engaging manner.They would literally show me what was going on.For example，when I was reading Joe Sacco's Palestine，I didn't have to imagine the ruin caused by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.I could actually see it while reading about it.
Fast-forward a few years to when I was given a copy of Jonathan Bloomfield's Palestine：A Novel.Though I was impressed by the compelling (扣人心弦的) nature of storytelling in his book，I am not sure if I would have been able to visualize and enjoy his text-only version so much had I not read Sacco's Palestine first.Thanks to the graphic novel，I had a“picture” of whatever had happened，and that made it easier and more fun to understand the details of the overall story.
From black and white strips and colorful comic books to illustrated graphic novels，this type of storytelling has come a long way.While my romance with comic books is still ongoing，in the long run，my love for graphic novels is more substantial and here to stay.

(2025·广东六校第三次联考)That artificial food dyes are unhealthy is not news.Some of the most common additives used to give color to everything are known to affect some children's ability to learn.But regulatory (监管的) agencies around the world don't necessarily agree.That may soon change，thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure.In addition，a report prepared by the state of California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) concluded that synthetic food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children”.
In response to the report，California is now thinking about requiring warning labels on food products containing the seven most commonly used synthetic dyes.Among them are Red 40，Yellow 5 and Yellow 6，which account for more than 90% of food dyes.Restaurants in California would also have to identify menu items containing the additives.
“The science is clear，” says Lisa Lefferts，an environmental health consultant.“These synthetic dyes harm children and are completely unnecessary.”
What makes the OEHHA report a game changer is that a regulatory agency is on the same page as scientists and advocacy (拥护) groups.“That's largely because of the quality of the report，” says Lefferts，one of 10 original signatories to the petition.
Synthetic dyes are used in foods for one reason：to make products look prettier.Someone likens the practice to “putting cosmetics on food”.Bright colors and fun shapes make candies and cereals appealing，especially to kids.
As more research has emerged，consumer pressure has led companies to reformulate products.In 2016，the company began using turmeric，annatto and paprika instead of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6.
Around the same time，Chipotle and a number of other restaurants and manufacturers announced plans to cut back on or stop using synthetic dyes.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。人工食品色素对儿童健康有不良影响，随着消费者呼吁的增加和相关报告的出现，使用人工食品色素的情况可能即将改变。
5.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.All the regulatory agencies are against the food dyes.
B.The use of artificial food dyes is obviously increasing.
C.Consumer pressure reduces the use of artificial food dyes.
D.The agencies don't know why food dyes are still a problem.
解析　C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“That may soon change，thanks in part to increasing consumer pressure.”可知，这种情况可能很快就会改变，部分原因是消费者呼吁的增加。故选C。
6.Why does OEHHA have power to change the use of artificial food dyes
A.OEHHA is an organization determining the ingredients in food.
B.OEHHA prepared an excellent report to state the use of food dyes.
C.The government in California supports OEHHA to change this situation.
D.The excellent report makes a regulatory agency，scientists and advocacy groups stand with OEHHA.
解析　D　推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知，是OEHHA的出色报告让监管机构、科学家和拥护团体与其站在一方。故选D。
7.Which word can replace the underlined word “reformulate”？

C.Reflect. D.Rebuild.
解析　A　词义猜测题。根据第六段内容可知，随着更多研究的出现，消费者的呼吁促使公司重新配制产品。2016年，公司开始使用姜黄粉、胭脂红和红辣椒粉代替黄5号和黄6号色素。故选A。

(2025·安徽六校联考)Public health data signals a genuine crisis in adolescent mental health：rising rates of anxiety，depression，and hopelessness.But as we worry about teens who are struggling，we can't ignore another mounting effect—the burdens that are shouldered by their friends and peers in an “always on” world.
We have studied teens and tech for over a decade.Their networks are ever-expanding，in no small part because there's a sense that being nice means accepting fellow requests from acquaintances and friends-of-friends.And it's not just staying connected—it's keeping up with what others post，too.
Social media platforms thus make it technically possible to maintain more relationships than ever before.The result is an overwhelming wave of social information.It's especially intense for adolescents whose sensitivities drive them to care deeply about what their peers are doing and thinking.
Significant stress comes with trying to be a “good friend” in the age of social media.Friendship requires both public and behind-the-scenes support.Even before a social media post is made public，close friends can be pulled into photo selection，editing，and final examination.Besides，they need to respond in the right way and in the right amount of time，which differs from one relationship to another.Replying too quickly can be seen as over-eager，especially when the friendship is new or not close.But when it's a close friend，too long a lag (延迟) can be hurtful.
Technologies have transformed how friendships play out.Social media increases the burdens that come along with being a good friend.Too often，these dynamics hit teens hard in ways that are ignored by adults.And that is what should be changed with the help of parents，schools and other parts of society.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了社交媒体是如何让青少年的友谊变得更有压力的。
9.What makes teenagers' networks continue to expand

解析　A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Their networks...because there's a sense that being nice means accepting fellow requests from acquaintances and friends-of-friends.”可知，他们的人际关系网不断扩大，这在很大程度上是因为人们认为，友善意味着接受熟人以及朋友的朋友的请求。也就是说，让青少年的人际网不断扩大的是友善的压力。故选A。
10.What does the author think of being a good friend in the age of social media
A.Exciting. B.Challenging.
C.Time-saving. D.Risk-taking.
解析　B　观点态度题。文章第四段第一句表明，作者认为社交媒体时代想成为一个好朋友伴随着很大的压力。接着具体说明了成为一个好朋友需要承担的行为，对段落主旨句进行支持。故选B。
11.What should be changed according to the last paragraph
A.The qualities of being a teen friend.
B.The conflicts between schools and parents.
C.The relations between parents and their teens.
D.The influences of social media on teen friendship.
解析　D　细节理解题。最后一段中的“that is what should be changed”中的that指的是“Technologies have transformed...being a good friend.”，即科技彻底改变了友谊的出现方式，社交媒体增加了成为好朋友带来的负担。这些都是社交媒体对青少年友谊的影响。故选D。
12.What is the text mainly about
A.Why more teens are addicted to social media.
B.How teens nowadays gain long-standing friendships.
C.How social media has made teen friendships more stressful.
D.What makes teens become more sensitive to their peers' needs.

(2025·太原学业诊断)15-year-old Cassandra Lin admires unexpected heroes.Inspired by a story about a Malawian boy who built windmills from bicycle parts to power his village，she created an award—winning recycling program in her hometown，Westerly，Rhode Island.This program，Project TGIF (Turn Grease Into Fuel)，encourages residents and local restaurants to recycle used cooking oil，which is then processed into biodiesel (生物柴油) fuel.The money earned from the program is donated to help heat the homes of needy people in Westerly.That's exactly what this persistent tenth grader has done.For her，however，it's just something she does with her friends after school.
To make the project successful，Cassandra and her team educated themselves on the biodiesel refining process，made their own biodiesel with proper safety measures，secured two separate youth seed grants，and persuaded community leaders to support the initiative.They identified a non-sustainable emergency heating program and the issue of pouring used fats and oils down into drains as key problems in their community.“All of our problems have snowballed together，”Cassandra said.She and her team puzzled over how to combine these problems to get a one-off solution.An article on collecting and recycling cooking oil settled the deal.
Cassandra's leadership，clear-sightedness，logical thinking，and creativity were central to the success of TGIF.Her enthusiasm and energy have motivated many to join her cause.Despite her achievements，Cassandra stays down-to-earth，viewing her efforts as just part of her after-school activities.When reminded that she is featured on social media as a delegate (代表) to the Tunza International Youth Conference on Climate Change in South Korea，keeping a low profile，she responds，“Am I？”

(2025·贵阳质检)Crying is often thought of as an expression of wild emotions.But this is yet another contradiction：In fact，crying can be a powerful tool to adjust our feelings，to maintain a deep calmness in our emotional life.It can bring balance，peace and，just maybe，even a touch of pleasure.
Crying is very common，and typically human.Although many species call out in pain to signal a need for help，only humans weep，with tears，for emotional reasons and not because of eye irritation (刺激).As the Dutch psychologist Ad Vingerhoets has recorded in his research，two causes of negative crying are extremely consistent across populations and cultures：helplessness and loss.
Occasionally，though，we weep for joy.Scholars find it perplexing，because it seems counterintuitive (违反直觉的) that we would respond to overwhelmingly positive emotions with a negative expression.New research conducted in several countries found that happy crying tended to occur on four occasions：times of extraordinary affection，such as weddings (15 percent of positive crying，on average); moments of unusual achievement，such as winning an award (29 percent); awe in the face of beauty，such as exquisite music (8 percent); and intense amusement (3 percent).Classifying it，though，doesn't make it seem any more logical.
There may，in fact，be a deeper connection between happy crying and sad crying：They are both a response to emotional extremes，which suggests that tears help bring us back to balance.Overwhelming negative emotions are important—even lifesaving—in a crisis like being separated from loved ones or being under threat; it creates the impulse to act with force or immediacy.But staying in this state isn't helpful beyond the immediate crisis (nor is it pleasant)，so we seek to reduce stress and improve our mood—which crying can do quite effectively.
Emotional balance is good for well-being：Though strong feelings are inevitable，having excessive and persistent emotional highs and lows is clearly not associated with good mental health.In this sense，crying is definitely a good way to protect us from extreme emotions.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了哭泣可以是调节情绪的强大工具，让我们在感情上保持平静，还介绍了因高兴哭泣和因悲伤哭泣的不同情况和关联。
5.What are the same causes of negative crying among different people
A.Anger and hate.
B.Disgrace and despair.
C.Helplessness and loss.
D.Weakness and sadness.
解析　C　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句中的“two causes of negative crying are...helplessness and loss”可知，在不同的人群和文化中，消极哭泣有两个触发因素是高度一致的，那就是无助和失落，故选C。
6.What does the underlined word “perplexing” probably mean
A.Promising.　　　　 B.Inspiring.
C.Moving. D.Confusing.
解析　D　词义猜测题。画线词后的原因状语从句解释了学者这样认为的原因，即因为我们在以一种消极的情绪表达应对汹涌澎湃的积极情绪，而这似乎有悖常理。所以学者发现“我们偶尔会喜极而泣”是令人费解的，画线词与confusing 意思相同，故选D。
7.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A.Reasons for happy crying.
B.Responses to happy crying.
C.Times of unusual affection.
D.Occasions for negative emotions.
解析　A　段落大意题。第三段第一句谈到我们偶尔会喜极而泣，然后谈到了因高兴哭泣的四个时刻，所以该段主要说明了新的研究发现的因高兴而哭泣的四个原因，故选A。
8.What do we know about crying
A.Reducing stress leads to negative emotions.
B.Happy and sad crying share no similarities.
C.Staying in a negative emotion is beneficial.
D.Happy crying is deeply related to sad crying.
解析　D　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句可知，事实上，在快乐的哭泣和悲伤的哭泣之间可能有更深层的联系：它们都是对极端情绪的反应，这表明眼泪有助于我们重返情绪平衡状态，故选D。

(2025·长春二模)Online shopping often involves endless options and constantly changing discounts.A single search for running shoes can produce hundreds of results across multiple platforms，each promising the “best deal”.The holiday season brings excitement，but also plenty of decision-making exhaustion and troublesome nightmares.What if there is a tool that can hunt for the best prices，navigate (导航) endless sales and make sure your purchases arrive on time
The answer is AI agents，which are capable of autonomous reasoning and multistep problem-solving.Picture this：You instruct AI to find a sweater under $200 that's highly rated and will arrive by Sunday.In seconds，it scans websites，compares prices，checks reviews，confirms availability and places the order，all while you go about your day.
Unlike traditional recommendation engines，the agents are built with machine learning and natural language processing.They learn from their interactions with the people using them and become smarter and more efficient over time from their collective interactions.Looking ahead，AI agents are likely to not only master personal shopping needs but also negotiate directly with corporate AI systems.They will not only learn your preferences but will likely be able to book tailored experiences，handle payments across platforms and so on.
AI agents are moving beyond recommendations to autonomously carrying out complex tasks such as making refunds and approving pricing decisions.This development has already begun to reshape how businesses operate.Retailers (零售商) using AI agents are seeing measurable benefits.Since October 2024，data from the Salesforce Shopping Index (指数) has revealed that digital retailers using generative AI have achieved a 7% increase in average order profits，with 17% of global orders attributed to AI-driven personalized recommendations，targeted promotions and improved customer service.
The nature of search and advertising is also undergoing a major shift.Amazon is obtaining billions of dollars in ad profit as shoppers bypass Google to search directly on its platform.Meanwhile，AI-powered search tools such as Perplexity and Open AI's web-enabled chat deliver instant，context-aware responses，challenging traditional search engines and forcing advertisers to rethink their strategies.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能代理在网络购物时的作用，以及其对企业运营、搜索和广告等方面的影响。
9.What can be learned about online shopping from paragraph 1
A.It always works best in holiday seasons.

A.The present applications of AI agents.
B.The potential advantages of AI agents.
C.The increasing popularity of AI agents.
