Each year, I examine new consumer technology to identify innovations that could genuinely affect your daily
life. Here are the trends to watch in 2026.
第 3页/共 24页
We’ll finally be talking to our computers
While voice assistants have failed to convince people to talk to computers, the rise of AIchatbots offers tech
giants new panies are developing voice-based virtual companions — a pair of headphones solves the
issue of public-use awkwardness. This makes interaction far more engaging. However, it also poses risks for
vulnerable users who may develop unhealthy attachments.
The search continues for a successor to the smartphone
While smartphones remain dominant AI advancement is pushing tech companies toward the next major
personal computing platform. Some are heavily investing in smart glasses,which have gained some market
acceptance. At the same time, a leading company is focusing on phone innovation, with reports of a book — like
foldable phone that functions as a compact tablet.
AI is changing how we browse the web
It’s now almost unavoidable. A major search engine frequently leads with AI-generated answers, and chatbots
have been integrated into apps. Several web browsers also now include built-in AI assistants to answer questions.
The trend of web AI- ification (人工智能化) will continue.
Self-driving taxis are becoming widespread
Robot taxis are pushing forward with major expansions despite recent challenges. A great deal of the initial
public concern has gone away. Robot taxis have been operating in cities likePhoenix, Los Angeles, and Austin,
which have begun allowing freeway rides. Several companies are advancing steadily in this field. If you haven’t
ridden in one yet, add it to your must-do list this year.
1. What feature of voice-based AI is a double-edged sword
A. Using in public. B. Strong attractiveness.
C. Need for the Internet. D. Understanding emotions.
2. What trend does a search engine using AI show
A. Tech challenges. B. User preference shift.
C. AI integrating into online service. D. Privacy improvement.
3. Which does the author highly suggest we experience in person in 2026
A. AI chatbots. B. Smart glasses.
C. Foldable phones. D. Self-driving taxis.

In 2012, Brooklyn’s Mike Matthews was at work when one of his coworkers came into the office, lamenting
(哀叹) the loss of her loved one. As she opened up to him, a thought crossed his mind: She needed to talk to
Grandma Eileen. So he gave her Eileen’s phone number. On Monday, the coworker returned to the office with a
spring in her step. Eileen cheered her up, and their first call marked the beginning of regular communication.
But it wasn’t just a relationship that blossomed with Matthews’ coworker “I set up a little lemonade stand, put
a laptop on it, noise-cancelling headphones and then my grandma could virtually meet anyone in New York City
that was walking by,” Matthews recalled. That was the birth of the Grandma Stand.
For six years, Eileen called in and spoke with thousands of complete strangers, until she passed away in 2018
at the age of 102. “My grandma had so much love to give, and every person who talked to my grandma felt
elevated felt seen, felt heard,” Matthews explained. “And she also benefited, like she felt like she was valued.”
After her death, Matthews retired the Grandma Stand. But in 2024, he realized the world needed some good,
old-fashioned wisdom. So he purchased a new lemonade stand, painted it Grandma Eileen’s favorite color —
purple — and invited a kind grandma from his building to participate.
Since then, “Grandma Stand” has grown into a national project In New York, about 15 grandmothers take
turns working at temporary stands, which can be found in Central Park, on the streets of Manhattan, or in any
corner of the city.
As the movement grows, Matthews is thrilled that more grandmas — and strangers — are taking part. But it
all still comes back to Grandma Eileen. “I think she would be watching this and saying get as many grandmas
involved as humanly possible so at least they have a moment to shine and be heard,” Matthews said.
4. Why did Mike Matthews propose his coworker contact Grandma Eileen
A. To ask for professional advice. B. To transfer her work pressure.
C. To seek emotional support. D. To introduce her to a new relation.
5. What motivated Matthews to create the Grandma Stand initially
A. The positive outcome of his coworker.
B. The convenience of his grandmother.
C. His desire to start a business project.
D. His grandmother’s need for recognition.
6. What does the underlined word “elevated” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Confused. B. Astonished. C. Stressed. D. Delighted.
7. What might be Matthews’ vision for the project
A. To promote traditional wisdom sharing. B. To get more seniors to participate.
C. To turn it into a profitable business. D. To have a moment to shine himself.
C
New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a major rise in global
greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists from the University of Waterloo and the Georgia Institute of Technology
analyzed U.S. economic data alongside estimates of how frequently AI tools are used across different industries.
Their aim was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 83 percent of the nation’s economic activity relies
on petrol, coal and natural gas. These fuels release greenhouse gases when burned. The researchers noted that total
energy use from AI in the U.S. matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained
insignificant when viewed at national or global levels.
“It is important to note that the increase in energy use is not going to be uniform. It’s going to be felt more in
the places where electricity is produced to power the data centers,” said Dr Juan Moreno-Cruz, a professor at the
School of Environment, Enterprise and Development at the University of Waterloo and Canada Research Chair in
Energy Transitions. “If you look at that energy from the local perspective, that’s a big deal because some places
could see double the amount of electricity output and emissions. But at a larger scale, AI’s use of energy won’t be
noticeable.”
“For people who believe that the use of AI will be a major problem for the climate and think we should avoid
it, we’re offering a different perspective,” Moreno-Cruz added. “The effects on climate are not that significant, and
we can use AI to develop green technologies or to improve existing ones.”
To develop their findings, environmental economists Moreno-Cruz and Dr Anthony Harding reviewed a
variety of economic sectors, the types of jobs within those sectors, and the share of tasks that could potentially be
performed by AI. Moreno-Cruz and Harding intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to
understand how AI adoption may affect environmental outcomes across different regions of the world.
8. What is the primary goal of the research
A. To promote the development of green AI. B. To measure energy consumption worldwide.
C. To warn about AI’s growing energy demands. D. To assess AI’s potential environmental effects.
9. What can be said about AI energy consumption in the U.S.
A. It contributes to petrol-based activities. B. It will soon reach the global emission target.
C. It has small influence at the national level. D. It exceeds Iceland’s electricity consumption.
10. What do researchers plan to do next
A. Extend their research to more countries. B. Shift focus to AI’s economic advantages.
C. Develop AI applications to stop emissions. D. Reduce the energy use of AI in data centers.
11. Which of the following is the main idea of the text
A. AI technology drives greenhouse gas emissions.
B. AI energy consumption urgently needs regulating.
C. Data centers emit more than previously estimated.
D. AI’s impact on climate is much smaller than believed.
D
As the global population grows, the pressure to produce nutritious food more efficiently continues to increase.
At the same time, food manufacturing generates large amounts of leftover material that often goes unused.
Scientists reporting in the American ChemicalSociety’s Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry investigated
whether waste from carrot processing could serve a new purpose.
Previous research has shown that fungi (菌类) can grow on food industry leftovers. Building on this work,
Martin Gand, the author of the study, and his colleagues set out to recover nutrients from carrot side streams and
reuse them as a growing medium for fungi. Instead of harvesting mushroom caps, the team focused on fungal
mycelia (菌丝). These root-like structures grow faster and take up less space, while still producing nutrients that are
beneficial to human diets.
To identify the most promising option, the researchers tested 106 different fungal strains grown on side
streams from orange and black carrots used in natural color production. Each strain was evaluated for growth
performance and protein output. One fungus emerged as the top candidate: Pleurotus djamor (红平菇).
After selecting this species, the researchers adjusted growth conditions to increase protein yield. The resulting
protein showed biological values similar to those of animal and plant proteins, meaning it could be efficiently used
by the human body. The Pleurotus djamor mycelia were also low in fat and contained fiber levels comparable to
other edible fungi.
The findings suggest that fungal mycelia could serve as a sustainable and appealing protein source. The
process makes use of food production materials that would otherwise be discarded, without requiring additional
farmland, and offers nutritional benefits similar to existing plant-based proteins. Using side streams as a growing
medium for mycelium production reduces environmental impact while adding value and supports food security by
enabling an efficient and sustainable protein production.
12. What does the underlined term“side streams” in paragraph 2 most likely refer to
A. Leftover materials from food processing.
B. Liquid waste discharged from factories.
C. Nutrient solutions for growing fungi.
D. Chemical additives used in food coloring.
13. Why did the researchers choose to focus on fungal mycelia rather than mushroom caps
A. Because mycelia contain more fiber than caps.
B. Because mycelia produce higher protein content.
C. Because caps are not suitable for human consumption.
D. Because caps require more space and time to grow.
14. The testing of 106 fungal strains suggests that the researchers .
A. aimed to identify the most colorful fungi
B. lacked prior knowledge about suitable species
C. followed a systematic and comparative approach
D. prioritized quantity over quality in their selection
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the new protein production method
A. Concerned about its nutritional value.
B. Cautiously optimistic about its potential.
C. Skeptical about its practical application.
D. Enthusiastic but worried about the cost.

As a student of Chinese language and culture, I was introduced to many fascinating aspects of the country’s
culinary (烹饪的) heritage. One dish that particularly stood out in my studies was Crossing Br dge Rice Noodles, a
specialty from Yunnan Province. In 2024, when I traveled to Yunnan, I finally experienced this famous dish
firsthand. ___16___
Walking into a traditional Yunnan restaurant and settling down, I felt anticipation that only a long-awaited
experience can bring. ___17___ Each ingredient was presented separately, allowing me to assemble my bowl
according to my preference. The waiter placed a large bowl of hot broth (肉汤) in front of me, followed by thinly
sliced meats, fresh vegetables, quail eggs, tofu skin, and herbs. Then, the most exciting part came: white, smooth,
and silky rice noodles.
Following the traditional method, I first added the raw meat slices into the hot broth, watching them cook
instantly. Then, I added the vegetables, tofu and eggs, letting them blend into the broth. ___18___ As I lifted the
noodles with my chopsticks, their delicate texture was evident — soft, yet firm enough to hold their shape.
___19___ The broth, made from slow-simmered chicken and pork bones, was rich and deeply comforting. The
rice noodles were incredibly smooth, almost jellylike, yet with a satisfying chewiness. The combination of fresh
ingredients created a balance of textures — tender meat, crisp vegetables, and silky noodles, all coming together
harmoniously.
Trying the dish in Yunnan was an experience that connected me to China’s rich culinary heritage and
reaffirmed (再次确定) the deep bond between food and culture. This dish, with its rich broth, silky noodles, and
heartwarming service, is a representation of the beauty of Chinese cuisine. ___20___
A. The first bite was an explosion of flavors.
B. The dish was served in a traditional manner.
C. The experience was nothing short of extraordinary.
D. While studying in Beijing, I often heard about the dish.
E. Finally, I carefully placed the rice noodles into the bowl.
F. What amazed me the most was how familiar the flavors felt.
G. And now, it holds a special place in my personal journey as well.

Am I going to be in therapy (心理治疗) because we moved 1,400 miles away from everything we had ever
known This was the thought that kept running in my mind as we made the move from Rhode Island to Florida. It
was something that we had to do, but when the move was put into motion, fear, anxiety, worry and self- doubt
flooded in.
No one understood why we would completely change our lives and move all the way down to southwest
Florida. Rhode Island is a very small state. In Rhode Island, many people never leave the town where they grew up.
But there were some negative things happening to our family in Rhode Island, so Mom and Dad decided that we
needed a change.
Many said we wouldn’t last two years in Florida. My grandpa promised me a horse if we stayed. He lived in a
rural area of Rhode Island and had a horse at one time, so he was equipped with the barn (畜棚) and open space
that were needed. I was taking horseback-riding lessons at the time and loved to be around horses. I even enjoyed
cleaning out the stalls. This could have been a big obstacle to the move, but strangely I didn’t mind that much, and I
was a bit surprised.
We didn’t know anyone in Florida when we moved. In fact, I remember one night soon after our move when
Mom, Dad and I were having dinner in a local restaurant. From my seat,I could see the front door, people coming
in and going out. In Rhode Island, about 90 percent of the time when we were out somewhere, someone we knew
would walk in. Seeing someone you know gives you a nice, homey feeling. That night, I was in a negative state as I
watched that front door. I turned to Mom and said,“Do you realize we will not know one person who walks through
that door Not one!”

In 2012, Brooklyn’s Mike Matthews was at work when one of his coworkers came into the office, lamenting
(哀叹) the loss of her loved one. As she opened up to him, a thought crossed his mind: She needed to talk to
Grandma Eileen. So he gave her Eileen’s phone number. On Monday, the coworker returned to the office with a
spring in her step. Eileen cheered her up, and their first call marked the beginning of regular communication.
But it wasn’t just a relationship that blossomed with Matthews’ coworker “I set up a little lemonade stand, put
a laptop on it, noise-cancelling headphones and then my grandma could virtually meet anyone in New York City
that was walking by,” Matthews recalled. That was the birth of the Grandma Stand.
For six years, Eileen called in and spoke with thousands of complete strangers, until she passed away in 2018
at the age of 102. “My grandma had so much love to give, and every person who talked to my grandma felt
elevated felt seen, felt heard,” Matthews explained. “And she also benefited, like she felt like she was valued.”
After her death, Matthews retired the Grandma Stand. But in 2024, he realized the world needed some good,
old-fashioned wisdom. So he purchased a new lemonade stand, painted it Grandma Eileen’s favorite color —
purple — and invited a kind grandma from his building to participate.
Since then, “Grandma Stand” has grown into a national project In New York, about 15 grandmothers take
turns working at temporary stands, which can be found in Central Park, on the streets of Manhattan, or in any
corner of the city.
As the movement grows, Matthews is thrilled that more grandmas — and strangers — are taking part. But it
all still comes back to Grandma Eileen. “I think she would be watching this and saying get as many grandmas
involved as humanly possible so at least they have a moment to shine and be heard,” Matthews said.
4. Why did Mike Matthews propose his coworker contact Grandma Eileen
A. To ask for professional advice. B. To transfer her work pressure.
C. To seek emotional support. D. To introduce her to a new relation.
5. What motivated Matthews to create the Grandma Stand initially
A. The positive outcome of his coworker.
B. The convenience of his grandmother.
C. His desire to start a business project.
D. His grandmother’s need for recognition.
6. What does the underlined word “elevated” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Confused. B. Astonished. C. Stressed. D. Delighted.
7. What might be Matthews’ vision for the project
A. To promote traditional wisdom sharing. B. To get more seniors to participate.
C. To turn it into a profitable business. D. To have a moment to shine himself.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B

New research challenges the widespread belief that artificial intelligence (AI) is driving a major rise in global
greenhouse gas emissions. Scientists from the University of Waterloo and the Georgia Institute of Technology
analyzed U.S. economic data alongside estimates of how frequently AI tools are used across different industries.
Their aim was to understand what might happen to the environment if AI adoption increases along its current path.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 83 percent of the nation’s economic activity relies
on petrol, coal and natural gas. These fuels release greenhouse gases when burned. The researchers noted that total
energy use from AI in the U.S. matched the electricity consumption of Iceland, yet this amount remained
insignificant when viewed at national or global levels.
“It is important to note that the increase in energy use is not going to be uniform. It’s going to be felt more in
the places where electricity is produced to power the data centers,” said Dr Juan Moreno-Cruz, a professor at the
School of Environment, Enterprise and Development at the University of Waterloo and Canada Research Chair in
Energy Transitions. “If you look at that energy from the local perspective, that’s a big deal because some places
could see double the amount of electricity output and emissions. But at a larger scale, AI’s use of energy won’t be
noticeable.”
“For people who believe that the use of AI will be a major problem for the climate and think we should avoid
it, we’re offering a different perspective,” Moreno-Cruz added. “The effects on climate are not that significant, and
we can use AI to develop green technologies or to improve existing ones.”
To develop their findings, environmental economists Moreno-Cruz and Dr Anthony Harding reviewed a
variety of economic sectors, the types of jobs within those sectors, and the share of tasks that could potentially be
performed by AI. Moreno-Cruz and Harding intend to apply the same approach to additional countries in order to
understand how AI adoption may affect environmental outcomes across different regions of the world.
8. What is the primary goal of the research
A. To promote the development of green AI. B. To measure energy consumption worldwide.
C. To warn about AI’s growing energy demands. D. To assess AI’s potential environmental effects.
9. What can be said about AI energy consumption in the U.S.
A. It contributes to petrol-based activities. B. It will soon reach the global emission target.
C. It has small influence at the national level. D. It exceeds Iceland’s electricity consumption.
10. What do researchers plan to do next
A. Extend their research to more countries. B. Shift focus to AI’s economic advantages.
C. Develop AI applications to stop emissions. D. Reduce the energy use of AI in data centers.
11. Which of the following is the main idea of the text
A. AI technology drives greenhouse gas emissions.
B. AI energy consumption urgently needs regulating.
C. Data centers emit more than previously estimated.
D. AI’s impact on climate is much smaller than believed.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
D
As the global population grows, the pressure to produce nutritious food more efficiently continues to increase.
At the same time, food manufacturing generates large amounts of leftover material that often goes unused.
Scientists reporting in the American ChemicalSociety’s Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry investigated
whether waste from carrot processing could serve a new purpose.
Previous research has shown that fungi (菌类) can grow on food industry leftovers. Building on this work,
Martin Gand, the author of the study, and his colleagues set out to recover nutrients from carrot side streams and
reuse them as a growing medium for fungi. Instead of harvesting mushroom caps, the team focused on fungal
mycelia (菌丝). These root-like structures grow faster and take up less space, while still producing nutrients that are
beneficial to human diets.
To identify the most promising option, the researchers tested 106 different fungal strains grown on side
streams from orange and black carrots used in natural color production. Each strain was evaluated for growth
performance and protein output. One fungus emerged as the top candidate: Pleurotus djamor (红平菇).
After selecting this species, the researchers adjusted growth conditions to increase protein yield. The resulting
protein showed biological values similar to those of animal and plant proteins, meaning it could be efficiently used
by the human body. The Pleurotus djamor mycelia were also low in fat and contained fiber levels comparable to
other edible fungi.
The findings suggest that fungal mycelia could serve as a sustainable and appealing protein source. The
process makes use of food production materials that would otherwise be discarded, without requiring additional
farmland, and offers nutritional benefits similar to existing plant-based proteins. Using side streams as a growing
medium for mycelium production reduces environmental impact while adding value and supports food security by
enabling an efficient and sustainable protein production.
12. What does the underlined term“side streams” in paragraph 2 most likely refer to
A. Leftover materials from food processing.
B. Liquid waste discharged from factories.
C. Nutrient solutions for growing fungi.
D. Chemical additives used in food coloring.
13. Why did the researchers choose to focus on fungal mycelia rather than mushroom caps
A. Because mycelia contain more fiber than caps.
B. Because mycelia produce higher protein content.
C. Because caps are not suitable for human consumption.
D. Because caps require more space and time to grow.
14. The testing of 106 fungal strains suggests that the researchers .
A. aimed to identify the most colorful fungi
B. lacked prior knowledge about suitable species
C. followed a systematic and comparative approach
D. prioritized quantity over quality in their selection
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the new protein production method
A. Concerned about its nutritional value.
B. Cautiously optimistic about its potential.
C. Skeptical about its practical application.
D. Enthusiastic but worried about the cost.

As a student of Chinese language and culture, I was introduced to many fascinating aspects of the country’s
culinary (烹饪的) heritage. One dish that particularly stood out in my studies was Crossing Br dge Rice Noodles, a
specialty from Yunnan Province. In 2024, when I traveled to Yunnan, I finally experienced this famous dish
firsthand. ___16___
Walking into a traditional Yunnan restaurant and settling down, I felt anticipation that only a long-awaited
experience can bring. ___17___ Each ingredient was presented separately, allowing me to assemble my bowl
according to my preference. The waiter placed a large bowl of hot broth (肉汤) in front of me, followed by thinly
sliced meats, fresh vegetables, quail eggs, tofu skin, and herbs. Then, the most exciting part came: white, smooth,
and silky rice noodles.
Following the traditional method, I first added the raw meat slices into the hot broth, watching them cook
instantly. Then, I added the vegetables, tofu and eggs, letting them blend into the broth. ___18___ As I lifted the
noodles with my chopsticks, their delicate texture was evident — soft, yet firm enough to hold their shape.
___19___ The broth, made from slow-simmered chicken and pork bones, was rich and deeply comforting. The
rice noodles were incredibly smooth, almost jellylike, yet with a satisfying chewiness. The combination of fresh
ingredients created a balance of textures — tender meat, crisp vegetables, and silky noodles, all coming together
harmoniously.
Trying the dish in Yunnan was an experience that connected me to China’s rich culinary heritage and
reaffirmed (再次确定) the deep bond between food and culture. This dish, with its rich broth, silky noodles, and
heartwarming service, is a representation of the beauty of Chinese cuisine. ___20___

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Am I going to be in therapy (心理治疗) because we moved 1,400 miles away from everything we had ever
known This was the thought that kept running in my mind as we made the move from Rhode Island to Florida. It
was something that we had to do, but when the move was put into motion, fear, anxiety, worry and self- doubt
flooded in.
No one understood why we would completely change our lives and move all the way down to southwest
Florida. Rhode Island is a very small state. In Rhode Island, many people never leave the town where they grew up.
But there were some negative things happening to our family in Rhode Island, so Mom and Dad decided that we
needed a change.
Many said we wouldn’t last two years in Florida. My grandpa promised me a horse if we stayed. He lived in a
rural area of Rhode Island and had a horse at one time, so he was equipped with the barn (畜棚) and open space
that were needed. I was taking horseback-riding lessons at the time and loved to be around horses. I even enjoyed
cleaning out the stalls. This could have been a big obstacle to the move, but strangely I didn’t mind that much, and I
was a bit surprised.
We didn’t know anyone in Florida when we moved. In fact, I remember one night soon after our move when
Mom, Dad and I were having dinner in a local restaurant. From my seat,I could see the front door, people coming
in and going out. In Rhode Island, about 90 percent of the time when we were out somewhere, someone we knew
would walk in. Seeing someone you know gives you a nice, homey feeling. That night, I was in a negative state as I
watched that front door. I turned to Mom and said,“Do you realize we will not know one person who walks through
that door Not one!”

【答案】
A woman, who we later knew her name was Marie, overheard my words. She smiled warmly, and walked
slowly over to our table, holding a glass of lemonade in her hand. “I know exactly how you feel,” she said gently,
leaning slightly forward. “I moved here from New York a year ago, and I felt just as lonely and lost as you do now”
She told us she lived just two blocks away and loved making new friends to share the warmth of life. Before
leaving, she exchanged phone numbers with Mom and patted my shoulder softly, saying I would soon feel at home
here. Her kindness lifted my low spirits a little.
A few days later, we received a warm invitation from Marie. She invited us to her house for a small dinner
with her family. When we arrived, she greeted us at the door with a big smile. Her kids were very friendly, pulling
me to their room to show me their toys and chatting with me happily about their school life. Over dinner, Marie
shared her experience of adapting to the new place patiently. With her help, we started to get familiar with the
neighborhood and even made a few new friends. Gradually, I realized that moving to Florida wasn’t as terrible as I
thought, and I began to look forward to our new life here.
