A(2025四川双流中学模拟)
Live with roommates Have friends and family around you Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle,not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.
I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago,as I was living with my parents,and I continue to experience this with my husband,as he is not completely zero-waste like me.I’ve learned a few things along the way though,which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.
Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back.I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson,sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars,and have so little trash!A few days later,I came back with my first jars of zero-waste groceries,and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere.It came off as a bit discouraging.
Yet as the months of reducing waste continued,I did what I could that was within my own reach.I had my own bedroom,so I worked on removing things I didn’t need.Since I had my own toiletries(洗漱用品),I was able to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable.I also offered to cook every so often,so I portioned out a bit of the cupboard for my own zero-waste groceries.Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch,but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.
As you make your lifestyle changes,you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment on what you’re doing,which can turn itself into a whole household debate.If you have individuals who are not on board,your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged.
So here is my advice:Lead by action.
1.What do the underlined words “jump on that bandwagon” mean in the first paragraph
A.Share an apartment with you.
B.Join you in what you’re doing.
C.Transform your way of living.
D.Help you to make the decision.
2.What was the attitude of the author’s father towards buying groceries with jars
A.He disapproved of it.
B.He was favorable to it.
C.He was tolerant of it.
D.He didn’t care about it.
3.What can we infer about the author

If someone asked whether you like the arts,you’d probably say you do at least in theory.According to a survey,more than two-thirds of U.S.adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”.However,only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017;23 percent went to an art museum.Fewer than half actively created art of any kind.
The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities,leaving our schedule packed.Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores,but most of us rarely,if ever,saw a live performance,let alone visited a gallery or watched a play.
Too often,we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts.But this is a mistake.The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality;they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life.If you make time for consuming and producing the arts the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments,I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier.Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry.Or maybe your dizziness struck as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city.There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy.They probably stimulated a sudden awakening,much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.
If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in,you might see them as a luxury item,while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure,and more like exercise or sleep,a necessity.Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey,and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life.
5.What prevents people from enjoying the arts according to the text
A.Lack of interest.
B.Avoidance of duty.
C.Shortage of time.
D.Art space inaccessibility.
6.What can we learn about the role of the arts according to the text
A.They explore mysteries of life.
B.They spark emotional responses.
C.They enhance physical well-being.
D.They offer a getaway from daily life.
7.What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph
A.Barriers to combine the arts and life.
B.Benefits of engaging with the arts.
C.Forms of distracting pleasures.
D.Ways to integrate the arts into daily routine.
8.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.The Arts Journey:Refreshing Soul
B.The Arts Pursuit:Transforming Dull into Full
C.Embracing the Arts:From Luxury to Necessity
D.Connecting with the Arts:From Reality to Fantasy
C(2025湖南长郡中学模拟)
The climate crisis may lead the human race to shrink in size,as mammals with smaller frames appear better able to deal with rising global temperatures,a leading fossil expert has said.
Professor Steve Brusatte,a paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh,suggested that the way in which other mammals have previously responded to periods of climate change could offer an insight into humans’ future.He compared the potential problem of people as similar to that of early horses,which became smaller in body size as temperatures rose around 55 million years ago.
Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals,Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas,an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule.“The reasons are not entirely understood,but it is probably,in part,because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than bigger animals and can thus improve the dissipation of the extra heat,” he writes.
Brusatte said that becoming smaller was “a common way that mammals deal with climate change”.He added,“That’s not to say every species of mammal would get smaller,but it seems to be a common survival trick of mammals when temperatures rise pretty quickly.That does raise the question:If temperatures do rise really quickly,might humans get smaller And I think that’s certainly reasonable.”
However,not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink.Professor Adrian Lister,of the Natural History Museum in London,said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak.“We are not really controlled by natural selection,” he said.“If that was going to happen,you’d need to find large people dying before they could reproduce because of climate warming.That is not happening in today’s world.We wear clothes,we have got heating,we have got air conditioning if it is too hot.”
9.How do mammals cope with climate change according to Brusatte
A.Moving to colder regions.
B.Reducing their body size.
C.Losing their weight.
D.Adapting their diet.
10.What does the underlined word “dissipation” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Exchange. B.Formation.
C.Absorption. D.Emission.
11.What is Adrian Lister’s attitude towards the recent study
A.Worried. B.Objective.
C.Skeptical. D.Approving.
12.What is the best title of this text
A.The Threat of Climate Change to Human Survival
B.The Impact of Climate Change on Mammal Body Sizes
C.The Evolutionary Trends in Mammal Body Sizes
D.The Adaptive Strategies of Mammals to Climate Change

As technology continues to advance at an unbelievable pace,the role of AI has expanded into our daily lives,influencing how we work,create and even relax.
　13　 Imagine a world where AI handles your household chores.Smart appliances equipped with AI can sort,wash,and fold laundry,while others take care of the dishes and clean the floors.
These applications can save us time.By freeing us from routine tasks,AI allows us to spend time and energy on what truly inspires us.　14　 It enriches human life by allowing us to focus on what truly matters.
AI also has the potential to bring about changes to the way we work,perhaps giving us the opportunity to work less.　15　 In this way,perhaps you can try a five-hour workday instead of working the traditional eight.
While AI offers numerous advantages,there is a risk associated with over-reliance on these technologies.　16　 When AI becomes the primary source of ideas and innovation,the uniqueness of human creativity may be lost.
The use of AI in our lives should be approached with a balance between human well-being and creativity.While AI handles the ordinary,humans need to thrive in areas that require critical thinking and innovation.　17　.
A.The demand for workplace skills will also improve.
B.The balance ensures AI serves humans,rather than as opponents.
C.AI holds endless possibilities for more fulfilling life in the future.
D.AI can do simple and routine tasks you perform as part of your job.
E.Dependence on AI for creative work can decrease human creativity.
F.This transforms AI from a tool into an enabler of a more fulfilling life.
G.The essence of AI is to take over repetitive and time-consuming tasks.
参考答案
UNIT 12　INNOVATION(一)
Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者如何在家庭中践行零浪费的生活方式。
1.B　词句猜测题。根据画线部分上文“Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle,not everyone around you will be ready to”及第二段中的“I’ve learned a few things along the way though,which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.”可知,如果你想过一种更可持续的生活方式,可能不是你周围的每个人都准备好加入这一运动。由此推知,画线词组jump on that bandwagon与“Join you in what you’re doing.”意思接近。
2.A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A few days later,I came back with my first jars of zero-waste groceries,and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere.It came off as a bit discouraging.”可推知,作者的父亲不赞成用罐子买食品杂货。
3.D　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Yet as the months of reducing waste continued,I did what I could that was within my own reach.”及“Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch,but you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.”可推知,作者是一个意志坚定的人。
4.C　主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle,not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.”及第二段中的“I’ve learned a few things along the way though,which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.”可知,文章主要讲述了作者如何在家庭中践行零浪费的生活方式。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们因日常责任而缺少时间享受艺术,但应将艺术视为必需品融入生活。
5.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities,leaving our schedule packed.”可知,是缺少时间阻止了人们享受艺术。
6.B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry.Or maybe your dizziness struck as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city.There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy.They probably stimulated a sudden awakening,much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.”可知,艺术能激起情感反应。
7.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey,and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life.”可推知,下文可能会讲述把艺术融入日常生活的方法。
8.C　主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in,you might see them as a luxury item,while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure,and more like exercise or sleep,a necessity.”并结合文章中所讲述的人们因日常责任而缺少时间享受艺术,但应将艺术视为必需品融入生活。可知,C选项“拥抱艺术:从奢侈品到必需品”最适合作文章标题。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了气候变化对哺乳动物尤其是人类的体型的影响。
9.B　细节理解题。根据第一段内容及第四段中“Brusatte said that becoming smaller was ‘a common way that mammals deal with climate change’.”可知,根据Brusatte的说法,哺乳动物减小体型来应对气候变化。
10.D　词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句上文“Writing in The Rise and Reign of the Mammals,Brusatte notes that animals in warmer parts of the world today are often smaller than those in colder areas,an ecological principle known as Bergmann’s rule.”和画线词所在句中“The reasons are not entirely understood,but it is probably,in part,because smaller animals have a higher surface area relative to their volume than bigger animals”可知,体型较小的动物比体型较大的动物更容易散热,从而推知画线部分意思是“散发”。
11.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However,not all experts agree that rising temperature causes mammals to shrink.Professor Adrian Lister,of the Natural History Museum in London,said the relationship shown by the recent human remains study is weak.”以及“That is not happening in today’s world.”等内容可知,Adrian Lister对最近的研究持怀疑态度。
12.B　主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段内容可知,本文探讨了气候变化对哺乳动物尤其是人类的体型的影响。B项“气候变化对哺乳动物体型的影响”符合主题。
Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了AI如何通过接管日常任务提升人类生活质量,同时也警示过度依赖AI可能削弱创造力,强调人机协作的平衡至关重要。
13.G　下文“Imagine a world where AI handles your household chores.Smart appliances equipped with AI can sort,wash,and fold laundry,while others take care of the dishes and clean the floors.”举例说明AI如何帮助处理家务,此处作为段首句,应该是概括性的句子,点明AI的本质,因此G项“The essence of AI is to take over repetitive and time-consuming tasks.”符合语境,指出AI应接管那些重复性的和耗时的任务,统领下文,其中的repetitive and time-consuming tasks和下文中的household chores呼应。
14.F　上文“By freeing us from routine tasks,AI allows us to spend time and energy on what truly inspires us.”指出AI节省时间,让人专注于真正重要的事,下文“It enriches human life by allowing us to focus on what truly matters.”提到AI丰富人类生活,此处应该是AI如何提升生活质量的过渡句,因此F项“This transforms AI from a tool into an enabler of a more fulfilling life.”符合语境,强调AI的角色转变,承上启下,其中的This指代前一句内容。
15.D　上文“AI also has the potential to bring about changes to the way we work,perhaps giving us the opportunity to work less.”指出AI改变工作方式,下文“In this way,perhaps you can try a five-hour workday instead of working the traditional eight.”举例5小时工作制,空处需说明AI如何实现这一点,因此D项“AI can do simple and routine tasks you perform as part of your job.”符合语境,解释AI接管常规任务,承上启下。
16.E　上文“While AI offers numerous advantages,there is a risk associated with over-reliance on these technologies.”指出过度依赖AI有风险,下文“When AI becomes the primary source of ideas and innovation,the uniqueness of human creativity may be lost.”具体说明人类创造力有消失的风险,此处应点明过度依赖AI对创造力的危害,因此E项“Dependence on AI for creative work can decrease human creativity.”符合语境,承上启下,其中的Dependence和上文的over-reliance呼应,human creativity在下文有同词复现。
17.B　上文“The use of AI in our lives should be approached with a balance between human well-being and creativity.While AI handles the ordinary,humans need to thrive in areas that require critical thinking and innovation.”指出需平衡AI的使用,空处应陈述平衡的意义,因此B项“The balance ensures AI serves humans,rather than as opponents.”符合语境,承接上文,其中的balance在上文有同词复现。
