解题思路
1： 段落大意题解题思路
首先，逐句分析内容。通读段落中的每一句话，准确理解其字面意思，并用简短的关键词概
括每句的核心内容。
其次，串联逻辑关系。分析句子之间的逻辑衔接，如并列、转折、因果或例证关系。特别注
意区分观点句、论证句和例证句，这有助于识别信息的主次。
接着，提炼核心主旨。将各句的关键内容进行整合，合并表达相同或相似概念的要点。在此
过程中，需要去掉次要的细节信息、具体的数据或补充说明的例子，保留并突出段落最核心的论
述焦点。
最后，比对选项确定答案。将提炼出的核心主旨与题目选项进行仔细比对。排除那些只涉及
段落局部细节、过于宽泛或与段落内容明显不符的选项，选择最能全面、准确概括整段核心思想
的答案。
2. 文章大意题解题思路
第一步：分析各段落大意
这是解题的基石。首先，逐段阅读文章，重点捕捉每一段的中心思想。关键在于定位段落的
主题句。主题句通常出现在段首句或段尾句，这些位置常常是作者提出观点或总结结论的地方。
同时，要特别关注转折词（如but, however）后面的句子以及设问句的答语，这些部分往往承载了
段落的真实意图。此外，一些表示总结或结论的信号词（如therefore, thus, in conclusion）引出的句
子也至关重要。通过这一步，将一篇长文章分解为几个核心的段落大意。
第二步：提炼文章主旨
在厘清各段落核心意思的基础上，进入整合阶段。首先，留意在全文反复出现的高频词和核
心词，这通常是文章讨论的核心话题。接着，串联各段落大意，审视它们之间的逻辑关系——是
并列阐述不同方面，是递进深入，还是对比论证？在此基础上，合并相同或相似的内容，将它们
归类为文章主旨的几个核心维度。同时，要果断地去掉次要内容，如具体的例子、详细的数据或
补充说明，确保焦点集中在主干思想上。
第三步：对比分析选项，确定答案
将你通过以上步骤提炼出的文章主旨与题目选项进行仔细比对。排除那些只涉及文章局部细
节、某一段落内容的选项，以及那些范围过于宽泛或与文章核心思想不符的选项。最终选择的答
案，必须能够全面、准确地涵盖全文的核心论点，而非只是部分内容的重述。
3. 标题归纳题解题思路
第一步：分析段落，提炼文章主旨
这是解答所有主旨大意题的基础，标题题也不例外。标题必须是全文核心思想最集中的体现
1. 定位主题句：逐段阅读，重点分析每一段的段首句和段尾句，这些位置通常是观点或结论
所在。同时，务必关注转折词（如but, however）之后的句子以及疑问句的答语，这些部分往往揭
示了作者的真正意图。由总结性信号词（如therefore, in conclusion）引出的句子也至关重要。
2. 捕捉高频词与核心词：留意在全文反复出现的词汇或概念，它们是文章讨论的中心话题，
常常会成为标题的关键词。
3. 串联与提炼：在概括各段大意后，将它们串联起来，找出其内在逻辑关系。合并相同或相
似内容，并果断去掉次要的细节和例子，从而凝练出全文唯一且核心的论点或说明对象。
第二步：把握正确标题的核心特征
一个最佳标题，其选项通常具备以下特点：
概括精准：标题必须准确地覆盖全文的核心内容，范围既不能太宽也不能太窄。
统领全文：标题所表述的内容应能统领全文各个段落，是所有段落共同服务的主旨。
醒目新颖：在准确的基础上，好的标题应具备一定的吸引力和概括性，能够引起读者兴趣。
第三步：对比分析选项，排除干扰
将你提炼出的文章主旨与各个选项进行严谨比对。此时，要重点识别和排除干扰项：
以偏概全：选项只对应文章某个段落或细节，无法代表整体。
概括过度：选项范围过大，超出了文章实际讨论的范畴。
无中生有：选项涉及了文章中未曾提及的信息或观点。

【例1-1】(2026 届云南省云南民大附中高三第三次联考模拟预测英语试题节选)
Researchers have created a new nanogenerator that collects and turns the energy from everyday movements
into electricity. It uses materials that become electrically charged when in contact. Think of how rubbing a balloon
on someone’s hair makes it stick to each other because of static electricity (静电). Instead of one electrode (电极)
passing energy by itself, the new device has a relay of workers who shift mechanical energy, like running, into
electricity. Each electrode collects a charge and then passes it on to the next electrode. The accumulating charge
creates more energy in a process known as the charge regeneration effect.
1. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A．How the nanogenerator works.
B．Why the device needs electrodes.
C．When static electricity works in balloons.
D．What the charge regeneration effect is.
【答案】A
【详解】主旨大意题，根据第四段内容，尤其是“ Instead of one electrode (电极) passing energy by
itself, the new device has are lay of workers who shift mechanical energy, like running, into electricity.
Each electrode collects a charge and then passes it on to the next electrode. The accumulating charge
creates more energy in a process known as the charge regeneration effect(新的设备不是由一个电极单独传
递能量，而是由一系列接力工作的电极将跑步等机械能转化为电能。每个电极收集电荷，然后将其传递给
下一个电极。累积的电荷在一个被称为电荷再生效应的过程中产生更多的能量。”可知，第四段主要介绍
了纳米发电机的工作原理。故选A。

The real issue, however, goes deeper than misinformation. It points to a fundamental problem in urban innovation:
the difficulty of imagining a life less dependent on the private car. For decades, the car has symbolized personal
freedom and status. Any policy that seems to reduce car use, even if it aims to enhance overall quality of life, can
make people feel emotionally upset. This reflects what transport experts call “car dependency”, a cultural and deep-
rooted habit that is hard to break.
1. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A．The challenge of a less car-centered life.
B．The significance of private cars.
C．The public’s reactions to a new policy.
D．The definition of car dependency.
【答案】A
【详解】主旨大意题。根据第四段 “The real issue, however, goes deeper than misinformation. It points to a
fundamental problem in urban innovation: the difficulty of imagining a life less dependent on the private car. For
decades, the car has symbolized personal freedom and status. Any policy that seems to reduce car use, even if it aims
to enhance overall quality of life, can make people feel emotionally upset. This reflects what transport experts call
“car dependency”, a cultural and deep-rooted habit that is hard to break.”.(然而，真正的问题远不止是信息传播
不准确这么简单。它揭示了城市创新中一个根本性的难题:难以想象一种不再过度依赖私家车的生活方式。
数十年来，汽车一直象征着个人自由和地位。任何看似减少汽车使用量的政策，即便其目的是提升整体生
活质量，也会让人们产生情绪上的不适。这反映了交通专家所说的“对汽车的依赖”，这是一种根深蒂固
的文化习惯，很难改变)”可知，本段主要讲了一种少依赖汽车的生活方式所带来的挑战。故选A。
解｜题｜技｜巧
段落大意题的核心在于精准提炼该段落的中心思想，而非细节信息。其解题过程可遵循以下系统
性的技巧：
1.
定位主题句，把握核心：这是最直接有效的方法。优先阅读段落的首句和尾句。在英文论述文中，
作者常采用“总-分”或“分-总”结构，使得段首或段尾句成为核心观点所在。如【例1-1】中，
段首句“Researchers have created a new nanogenerator...”即点明了本段将要介绍这个新设备，后续句
子均为对其工作原理的展开说明。
2.
关注转折与结论，抓住作者真实意图：段中出现转折词（如however, but, yet） 或 结论性词语
（如therefore, thus, in conclusion） 时，需高度警惕。转折后或结论句往往是段落真正想要强调的
内容。【例1-2】便是典型，段首用“The real issue, however, goes deeper than misinformation”承上启
下，并通过转折明确指出本段将深入探讨一个“更根本的问题”（a fundamental problem），从而
引出了核心论点。
3.
串联内容，提炼概括：当段落没有明确的主题句时，需要通读全段，概括各句大意，然后进行整
合。合并相同信息，舍弃次要的举例、数据或详细解释，提炼出统领全段的核心概念。【例1-1】
中，虽然提到了气球静电的类比，但这只是一个便于理解的引子，次要内容；核心是解释电极如
何接力工作并产生电荷再生效应，因此主旨是“工作原理”。
4.
识别高频词与核心概念：留意在段落中重复出现的词汇或核心概念。这些词往往是段落话题的焦
点。例如【例1-2】中，“car”、“dependent/dependency”、“life”等词反复出现，清晰地指向了讨
论的核心——与汽车依赖相关的生活方式。
注｜意｜事｜项
1.
严防以偏概全：干扰项常常用段落中的某个细节或一个例子来冒充主旨。解题的关键在于判断该
选项是否能覆盖整个段落。如【例1-1】中的C 选项“静态电力何时在气球中起作用”和D 选项
“什么是电荷再生效应”，都只是段落中提及的一个点，无法代表全部内容。
2.
警惕概括过度或偏离：选项的概括范围必须与段落内容严格匹配。【例1-2】的B 选项“私家车的
重要性”范围过宽，且段落重点在批判依赖，而非强调其重要性；C 选项“公众对新政策的反
应”是一个具体表现，而非根本原因；D 选项“汽车依赖的定义”只是用于论证核心论点的工具
之一。只有A 选项准确抓住了“减少汽车为中心的生活所面临的挑战”这一根本问题。
3.
紧扣本段，避免主观臆断：解答段落大意题时，必须将分析范围严格限定在该段落之内。不要受
到其他段落内容或自身背景知识的干扰，答案的唯一依据就是当前段落所提供的信息。
总结来说，解答段落大意题是一个“由细节到整体，再通过整体审视细节”的辩证过程。首先通
过定位主题句、关注转折结论、提炼高频词等方法快速把握段落核心，然后在选择时，严格以
“能否统领全段”为标准，冷静排除那些片面、笼统或偏离的干扰项，从而锁定正确答案。

When I was growing up, my mom often said that no matter what grades I got in school as long as I did my best,
she’d be proud of me. Then she added, “But if you didn’t get an A, I’ll know you didn’t do your best.” She said it
with a smile, but I took it seriously. I shouldn’t settle for anything less than perfect. My greatest weakness is that I’m
too much of a perfectionist.
Perfectionism is the desire to be 100% perfect. The goal is zero faults and no failures. In an increasingly
competitive world, kids face growing pressure from parents to be perfect and severe criticism when they fall short.
Every fault is a blow to their self-esteem (自尊). I’ve lived it myself.
1. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?
A．The disadvantage of being a perfectionist.
B．Why the author became a perfectionist.
C．How the author got the good grades in school.
D．The feeling of being grateful to the author’s mother.
【答案】B
【详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段 “When I was growing up, my mom often said that no matter what grades I
got in school as long as I did my best, she’d be proud of me. Then she added, “But if you didn’t get an A, I’ll know
you didn’t do your best.” She said it with a smile, but I took it seriously. I shouldn’t settle for anything less than

Ever wondered how social media platforms decide how to fill our feeds? They use algorithms (算法),
of course, but how do these algorithms work? In 2021, Frances Haugen, a Facebook product manager
secretly took ten thousand pages of documents and internal messages out of Facebook headquarters. She leaked
these to a handful of media outlets. A lot of stories soon ran, largely focusing on the most alarming, attention-grabbing
secrets.
It turns out that Facebook engineers have assigned a point value to each type of engagement users can perform
on a post (liking, commenting, resharing, etc.). Facebook’s algorithm calculates a personalized score for each post to
determine its place in the feed. This score is got by multiplying the probability you’ll perform each engagement —
likes, loves, etc. — by its pre-assigned point value, then summing these products. Posts are then ranked from highest to
lowest
score,
creating
your

Then
the

is:
Score=Vlike×Plike+Vlove×Plove+Vangry×Pangry+Vcomment×Pcomment+Vshare×Pshare.

【例2-1】（江苏省泰州市靖江市2025-2026 学年高三上学期11 月期中英语试题节选）
Chinese Nobel Prize-winning physicist Zhen Ning Yang, one of the most influential scientists in modern physics,
passed away in Beijing on October 18 due to illness at the age of 103.
Born in 1922, Yang was brought up surrounded by the Tsinghua campus, where his father was a math professor.
After finishing his undergraduate degree, he obtained his master’s degree from Tsinghua. He enrolled in the University
of Chicago in the United States to pursue a doctorate in 1946 and was strongly influenced by Italian-American
physicist Enrico Fermi, who had won the same Nobel Prize in 1938. He later became a professor at the Institute for
Advanced Study in Princeton.
Yang won the Nobel Prize in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee for their investigation of the so-called parity laws that
led to “important discoveries regarding the elementary particles,” according to the Nobel Prize website. They were
the first Chinese-born Nobel Prize winners in physics.
Professor Yang was deeply devoted to his homeland, making remarkable contributions to China’s scientific and
educational developments. His visit to China in 1971 led to a wave of visits by overseas scholars, earning him
recognition as the pioneer in building the bridge of academic exchange between China and the United States. He later
proposed the restoration and strengthening of basic scientific research to China’s central leadership. He also raised
funds to establish the “Committee on Educational Exchange with China”, which has continuously sponsored nearly
100Chinese scholars for advanced studies in the United States. These scholars later became the backbone of China’
s scientific and technological development. He undertook extensive work to promote China’s scientific and
technological exchange and progress, offering advice and exercising significant influence on major Chinese scientific
projects and the formulation (制定) of science and education policies.
………..
1. What is the article mainly about?
A．Yang’s lifelong contributions to China.
B．Yang’s research on elementary particles.
C．Yang’s influence on global science policy.
D．Yang’s educational background in America.

In 1911, US explorer and academic Hiram Bingham arrived in South America for what would become his
greatest achievement: exploring the remote hinterland west of Cusco, the old Inca capital in Peru’s Andes. His goal
was to find the remains of Vitcos, the last Inca capital.
………….
In his book, he described the ascent ( 登高) vividly: he noted the constant risk of deadly
snakes(though he saw none), but that unease faded quickly as he felt growing excitement — first at
finding terraces, a mausoleum, monumental staircases, and finally Machu Picchu’s grand ceremonial buildings.
“It seemed like an unbelievable dream, one so vivid and so overwhelming that I forgot to breathe, and the sight
held me enthralled, rooted to the spot, unable to tear my eyes away,” he wrote. We should remember, however, that
Lost City of the Incas is a work of sight, not written until1948, many years after his journey.
1. What does the text mainly talk about?
A．The historical background of the Inca empire
B．The Urubamba valley’s geographical features
C．Bingham’s discovery of the Machu Picchu ruins
D．A comparison of Bingham’s team and earlier travelers

解｜题｜技｜巧
1.
首段尾段定位法：文章的首段通常用于引出话题、背景或核心论点，而尾段则常用于总结全文、
重申观点或得出结论。因此，仔细阅读首段和尾段是快速抓住文章中心的捷径。
2.
段落大意串联法：这是最核心和可靠的方法。快速浏览全文，提炼每个段落的核心意思（可借助
寻找段落主题句的方法）。然后，将这些段落主旨像串珠子一样连接起来，看看它们共同论述了
一个什么核心话题。【例2-1】中，文章前部分简要介绍了杨振宁的生平与学术成就，但第四段用
明确的中心句指出他“为中国的科学和教育事业作出了卓越的贡献”，第五段继续讲述他回国后
的新使命。将各段大意串联后，发现其生平成就都是为了铺垫和引出他“终身奉献祖国”这一更
核心的主题。
3.
高频词与核心概念捕捉法：通读过程中，留意在文中反复出现的词汇、短语或概念。这些高频元
素往往是文章讨论的焦点。在【例2-1】中，“contributions to China”、“homeland”等相关概念贯
穿后半部分；【例2-2】中，“exploring”、“discovery”等是核心词汇。正确选项通常都会包含这
些核心概念。
4.
文章结构逻辑整合法：分析文章的组织结构。是“总-分-总”结构，还是按时间顺序叙述？论述的
重点是放在起因、过程还是结果与意义上？【例2-1】的结构是“生平简介
学术荣誉
重点论述
→
→
对祖国的贡献”，由此可知，前文是为后文的核心主旨做铺垫，重点在于其贡献。
注｜意｜事｜项
1.
严防以偏概全：这是最主要的干扰项类型。选项内容只是文章某一部分或某个段落的细节，无法覆
盖全文。如【例2-1】中的B 项（对基本粒子的研究）和D 项（在美教育背景）都只是前两段的内
容；【例2-2】中的A 项（历史背景）、B 项（地理特征）和D 项（比较）都只是文中提及的零星
信息，而非全文核心。
2.
警惕概括过度或无中生有：选项的表述可能过于宽泛，超出了文章实际讨论的范围，或者引入了文
中未提及的信息。【例2-1】中的C 项“杨振宁对全球科学政策的影响”，其中的“全球”一词就
属于概括过度，文章主要聚焦于他对中国的影响。
3.
紧扣文章主体，区分论点与论据：要清楚文中哪些是支持性的细节、例子或数据（论据），哪些才
是由这些论据支撑的核心观点（论点）。不能把具体的例子误当作全文主旨。【例2-2】中，对登
山过程的具体描述和书中引语都是细节，服务于“发现马丘比丘”这一核心事件。
It all started in 2015 when Zondervan, their division, explored ways to save pages when printing a classic
book. The classic is a huge book, consisting of 2,500 pages. To save pages, the division developed a new typeface
called NIV Comfort Print that is compact (紧凑) and comfortable to read. The use of Zondervan’s compact font
reduced the classic’s length by 350 pages and saved 100 million pages of paper. If these pages were stacked
up (堆积), this would be the size of four Empire State Buildings.
Harper Collins wanted to apply this solution to their fiction and non-fiction books. After they asked designers to
come up with ideas, the designers created 50 versions of a 600-page book by using easy-to-read fonts and redesigned
pages where there was less white space.
…
Questioning how we do things to make them more sustainable applies to all, especially those who work at an
office with a printer. Be it at home, at school or at work, sustainable solutions can go a long way. And one need not
be a publisher to adopt these changes.
1. What is the text mainly about?
A．Eco-friendly ways to store books.
B．Resource-saving publishing changes.
C．A creative and cooperative publisher.
D．An innovative solution to deforestation.
【答案】B
【详析】主旨大意题。根据第一段 "A publisher has discovered that changing the design and font (字
体)in books saves millions of pages and thousands of trees,(一家出版社发现，改变书籍的设计和字体可以
节省数百万页纸张和数千棵树木)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了哈珀·柯林斯出版社通过改变书籍
设计和字体来节约资源，实现环保出版的变革。故选B 项。

CPR and basic first aid care are skills that millions acquire. Now this same type of training is available for
mental health. Sigma Theta Alpha (STA), a professional health organization at UConn (University of Connecticut),
has taken the lead to bring the program to campus, ensuring each student can benefit from it.
Mental Health First Aid training is a national initiative that is performed locally by Mental Health Connecticut, a
statewide non-profit organization. The group has come to UConn three times for training. “We introduce information
on mental illness with the basic facts. We don’t teach how to diagnose — we do the opposite. Labeling and jumping
to conclusions based on symptoms and behaviors are harmful and dangerous, because that is for professionals,” says
Valerie Cooper, a community educator for the organization.
Like CPR, Mental Health First Aid is a universal experience taught the same way everywhere. The program is
split into classroom-style work, watching videos, and simulation of real-life issues. The action plan taught works
under the acronym of ALGEE — Assess for risk of harm, Listen non-judgmentally, Give reassurance and information,
Encourage appropriate professional help, and Encourage self-help and other support strategies. “Being a mental
health first aider is to listen non-judgmentally and create a space of trust,” says Cooper. “We teach people that listening
will be more important than anything they say.”
UConn nursing major Lisa Iwanicki, 18, is a member of Sigma Theta Alpha. Iwanicki says she got a lot out of
the simulation activities. “It was cool to be in a room with people who wanted to help make a change. It was not just
about learning the signs of mental illness, but what someone can do in the community to help,” says Iwanicki.
“Recovery is possible. The most important thing is to keep people hopeful. You have to try and try.”
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A．A student care project at UConn.
B．Development of CPR skills.
C．A professional health organization.
D．Campus activities of UConn.
【答案】A
【导语】主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要围绕康湿狄格大学的Sigma Theta Alpha 组织引入心理健康急救

There comes their response “Maybe.” Your mood immediately turns, for you need to wait for their decisions before
you can figure out your plans for the concert.
If you’ve experienced anything like the above anecdote, you’re not alone. People responding “maybe” to
invitations is a common yet annoying aspect of social life. What goes on in people’s heads when they aren’t sure
whether to accept an invitation? Social invitations can be a delicate dance. People often misread what someone
extending an invitation wants to hear and overestimate an inviter’s likelihood of preferring a “maybe” over a “no.”
Moreover, they fail to realize how much more disrespected people feel when they receive a “maybe” in response to
their invitation.
Naturally, we wanted to figure out why this awkward dynamic plays out. We found that it’s largely
due to something called “motivated reasoning.” Motivated reasoning occurs when a person interprets
information in a biased (有偏差的) way to suit their own wishes. In other words, invitees convince themselves
that inviters want to hear “maybe” instead of “no” because a “maybe” is better for the invitees, allowing them to
leave their options open. Besides, people tend to overestimate the negative consequences of saying “no” to invitations,
thinking it will upset, anger and disappoint inviters.
However, there were certain situations that made people more comfortable saying “no” to an invitation. When
recipients of an invitation put themselves in the shoes of the person extending the invitation, they are more likely to
realize that they’d probably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited to do something they didn’t
want to do, they had no desire to keep their options open. The motivated reasoning then became irrelevant.
While navigating social situations can be tricky, being direct and definite is sometimes best. It might reduce
your options. But it’ll keep those who invite you from being left uncertain and maybe they’ll still think of you when
the next concert comes to town.
1. What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Psychology behind “Maybe”
B．The Hidden Consequence of “Maybe”
C．“Maybe”: A Polite Escape from Conflict
D．“Maybe”: A Perfect Solution to Invitations
【答案】A
【详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开头以音乐会铁事引出人们对邀请回复"Maybe”的现象，接着
在第三段分析了这一现象背后"动机性推理”的心理原因，第四段介绍了人们更愿意说“不”的特定情况，
最后给出直接回应的建议。全文围绕“Maybe”背后的心理机制展开，因此A 项”'Maybe’背后的心理
学”概括了文章主题，最适合作为文章标题。故选A 项。

I’ve always loved books. When I was a child, I would bring them everywhere-to the dinner table and to class. I
became a reader in the absence of digital audiobooks (音频书).
Nevertheless, with the rise of smartphones, audiobooks have exploded in popularity, and as with any new interest,
new criticisms have risen in response. I’ll admit I used to think that audiobooks “didn’t count” because you could
listen to them passively, and I got annoyed with people who said they had read this or that number of books when
their lists included, or were perhaps entirely made up of audiobooks. But I’ve come around since then, both on a
personal and on a social level.
I do still think reading a book and listening to an audiobook are different. They use different areas of the brain;
they’re allowed in different contexts. But I have grown to love audiobooks for the distinct advantages they offer —
for example, some have voice actors do distinctive voices for different characters, or actually put melody to songs
that only have lyrics in the written text.
The line of thinking that would let us believe that audiobooks “don’t count” as reading prevents people from
reading. If someone struggles with print books, and they find out that audiobooks are the best way for them to engage,
they will listen to more books. If we want to build a world of readers, we have to support reading in any form.
If any readers have read the book Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, they know one main character struggles with
reading. He doesn’t have trouble reading. He just can’t focus on text. In order to survive college, he records lectures,
meets up with other students to discuss the topic, and comes up with other coping mechanisms. Engage with books
however you want: buy them, get them from the library, download them online. It doesn’t matter. Don’t we have
better uses for our time than to criticize how other people take in information?
1. Which of the following is probably the best title for the text?
A．Why Print Books Decline in the Digital Age?
B．Audiobooks: A Threat to Traditional Literacy
C．Reading Redefined: Why All Formats Matter?
D．How Technology Transforms Reading Habits?
【答案】C
【详解】【小题4】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第二段“If someone struggles with print books,
and they find out that audiobooks are the best way for them to engage, they will listen to more books. If we want to
build a world of readers, we have to support reading in any form.”(如果有人在阅读纸质书时感到困难，而发现
有声书是他们进行阅读的最佳方式，那么他们就会去听更多的书。如果我们想要打造个爱读书的世界，就
必须支持任何形式的阅读)”可知，本文主要探讨了有声书与纸质书阅读的关系，并呼吁人们以开放态度支
持各种阅读形式，因此最好的题目是C 选项“Reading Redefined: Why Al Formats Matter?(阅读新解:为何
所有形式都至关重要?)”，故选C
解｜题｜技｜巧
1.
核心概念定位法：通读全文，锁定文章反复讨论的核心话题或关键词。一个恰当的标题必须包含这
些核心概念。在【例3-1】中，全文围绕“Maybe”这一核心词展开；在【例3-2】中，核心争论点
是不同阅读“Formats”（格式）的价值。正确选项都精准地抓住了这些核心词。
2.
作者态度判断法：辨别作者对核心话题的立场和文章的感情基调。标题需要与之契合。【例3-1】
并非单纯批评“Maybe”，而是深入探讨其背后的心理动机（Psychology），基调是分析与解释性的。
【例3-2】的作者则为有声书辩护，主张包容所有阅读形式，因此标题中的“Redefined”（重新定
义）和“All Formats Matter”（所有形式都重要）完美体现了这一立场。
3.
选项对比检验法：这是最关键的一步。将初步选定的标题代入并自问：这个标题能否统领全文所有
段落？ 它是否既涵盖了文章开头引入的现象，又包含了中部的分析论证，还囊括了结尾的结论或
建议？一个最好的标题应该像一把大伞，能覆盖全文所有主要内容。
注｜意｜事｜项
在选择题目的过程中，必须警惕以下几类高频干扰项：
1.
严防以偏概全：干扰项常常只对应文章的某个局部细节或论据，无法代表整体。【例3-1】的B 选
项“The Hidden Consequence of ‘Maybe’”（“Maybe”的隐藏后果）只涉及了问题的一个方面（其负
面影响），但文章花了大量篇幅解释其背后的“动机推理”心理原因，因此B 项是片面的。C、D
选项则完全偏离了文章的分析基调。
2.
警惕偏离主旨：选项可能使用了文章里的词汇，但表述的重点或结论与作者的写作意图完全不符
或相反。【例3-1】的D 选项“A Perfect Solution”（一个完美的解决方案）就与文章最后建议“直
接和明确”的态度相悖，因为“Maybe”正是被分析的问题本身，而非解决方案。
3.
慎防片面绝对：干扰项可能观点过于极端或片面，无法体现文章的辩证思考。【例3-2】的B 选项
“A Threat to Traditional Literacy”（对传统读写能力的威胁）就带有明显的负面和片面色彩，而原
文作者的核心观点是倡导包容与共存，并非认为其构成威胁。A 和D 选项则未能抓住“为有声书
正名”这一核心论点。

Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking device to help them monitor
magpies (喜鹊), but these birds had other ideas.
Australian magpies are medium-sized black and white birds from the same bird “family” as crows and bluejays.
They are known to be quite clever. They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they
live in.
The purpose of the scientists’ experiment was to learn more about how far they travel each day and how their
social behaviors are influenced by sex, age, and rank. Besides, the scientists were eager to test the newly developed
tracking device.
Most trackers are too big to fit on small and medium sized birds, and small trackers tend to be limited when it
comes to data storage, battery life, and reusability. The new tracker, weighing less than 1 gram, was designed to
overcome these problems. Attached to a backpack-like harness (背带) which could not be removed easily, the
device can re-charge wirelessly and transmit (传输) data wirelessly.
The scientists placed trackers on five magpies using their special harnesses. Things started to fall apart almost
immediately. Within 10 minutes of fitting the final tracker, an adult female without a tracker tried to remove the
harness from a younger bird and eventually succeeded. This pattern was repeated in the following hours, and by the
third day none of the birds had trackers anymore.
Scientists refer to this as “rescue behavior,” and it happens when a helper tries to free another individual in
trouble and with no obvious direct benefit to the rescuing individual. They think this is the first time rescue behavior
has been reported for Australian magpies. However, they aren’t sure if the same individual removed all of the harnesses
or if others offered help.
The team didn’t get the data they wanted, but their experiment still produced interesting results. That’s how
science works sometimes. The scientists need to try, again to figure out a good way to track these clever birds.
1. Which can be the best title for the text?
A．Magpies Teach Scientists an Unexpected Lesson
B．Climate Change Makes Magpies More Difficult
C．The Trackers Help Magpies Get Used to Nature
D．Magpies Are Adjusting to the Trackers on Their Bodies
【答案】A
【详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段"Scientists in Australia thought they had developed a new tracking
device to help them monitor magpies (喜鹊), but these birds had other ideas.(澳大利亚的科学家们原本以
为他们已经研发出了一种新的追踪设备，能够帮助他们监测喜鹊的行为，但这些鸟儿却另有打算)”结合文
章主要说明了澳大利亚科学家为监测喜鹊，给五只喜鹊安装了新研发的不到1 克的追踪器，却被其他喜鹊
在三天内拆掉，这或为喜鹊救援行为，实验虽未达目的却有新发现。可知，A 选项“喜鹊让科学家们有了
一个意想不到的发现”最符合文章标题。故选A。

Do you ever find yourself randomly thinking back to the times we wandered, collecting wildflowers and smiling
beneath the sky? That feeling is often referred to as nostalgia (怀旧).
Psychologists have defined nostalgia as a self-conscious, social emotion, bittersweet but dominantly positive. It
comes from our happy memories and our desire to go back to the past and reconnect with the people we cared about.
Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a fierce
longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone can experience nostalgia, although its object tends to vary
throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more
nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music.
In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn’t make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive
response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can
actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance
our view of life’s meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism.
Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some
suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging, particularly during
times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering
a bit of escape from tough times. To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past
experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-
college meetups can give us something to look forward to.
Perhaps because it is so powerful and complex, nostalgia has received magical treatment from poets and writers.
“The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm (领域), beyond the reach of intellect,” Marcel Proust wrote.

A．Nostalgia: Why We Should Avoid Reflecting on the Past
B．Nostalgia: A Shelter Against the Unhappiness of Our Life

A novel design approach to gardening has been gaining in popularity worldwide. Referred to as matrix planting,
this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing.
Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature
does.
The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of parkland after World War II
in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance. Planners created planting mixes that could be used
modularly (模块化). In a matrix garden, plants with similar cultural needs are grouped so that they will grow together
above and below ground, forming a cooperative ecosystem that conserves water and discourages weeds.
Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style, adding artistic flavors to the
planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four-season interest and serving the needs of wildlife.
Beautiful year-round, they invite you to enjoy the smallest detail, from the sound of grasses in the gentle wind to the
sculpture of odd-looking seed heads.
It takes a lot of thought to look this natural. While matrix gardens appear wild, they are carefully planned, with
cultural needs the first consideration. Led by the concept of “right plant, right place,” they match plants that enjoy
the same soil, sun and weather conditions, and arrange them according to their patterns of growth.
The benefits are substantial for both gardener and planet. With human inputs dramatically reduced, the garden’s
ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we give most gardens: fertilizer,
dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon absorption, reduce stormwater
runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.
1．What does the underlined word “Eschewing” in the first paragraph mean?
A．Running out of.
B．Keeping away from.
C．Putting up with.
D．Taking advantage of.
2．Why was the idea of matrix planting introduced?
A．To control weeds in large gardens.
B．To bring in foreign species of plants.
C．To conserve soil and water resources.
D．To develop low-maintenance parkland.
3．Which of the following best describes Piet Oudolf’s gardens?
A．Traditional.
B．Odd-looking.
C．Tasteful.
D．Well-protected.
4．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A．The future of gardening is WILD．
B．Nature treats all lives as EQUALS.
C．Matrix gardens need more CARE.
D．Old garden plots work WONDERS.
【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型园艺设计方法——矩阵种植。
1．词句猜测题。根据上文“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do a lot more of the
heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing.(这种被称为矩阵种植的方法旨在让大自然在花园中
承担更多繁重的工作，甚至承担一些设计工作)”可知，矩阵种植是让大自然自身承接更多的工作；结合常
识和划线词所在句“Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to
garden more like nature does.(Eschewing 化肥和电动工具，它基于一个极其简单的原则：更像大自然那样进
行园艺种植)”中“to garden more like nature does”可推知，要像大自然那样进行园艺种植，让大自然自身承
接更多的工作，就不需要使用化肥和电动工具。所以划线词“Eschewing”的意思是“避开、远离”，与
“Keeping away from.”同义。故选B 项。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The concept was born when German city planners sought to plant large areas of
parkland after World War II in a reproducible way that would need minimal maintenance.(这个概念诞生于二战后，
当时德国城市规划者试图以一种可复制且需要最少维护的方式种植大片公园绿地)”可知，引入矩阵种植的
想法是为了开发低维护成本的公园绿地。故选D 项。
3．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dutch plantsman and designer Piet Oudolf’s gardens popularized this style,
adding artistic flavors to the planting mixes while playing with color and form, including four season interest and
serving the needs of wildlife.(荷兰植物学家兼设计师Piet Oudolf 的花园推广了这种风格，在种植组合中增添
了艺术气息，同时玩转色彩和形态，四季都有看点，还满足了野生动物的需求)”可知，Piet Oudolf 的花园
有艺术气息，很有品味。故选C 项。
4．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Referred to as matrix planting, this approach aims for nature to do
a lot more of the heavy lifting in the garden, and even some of the designing. Eschewing fertilizers (化肥) and
power tools, it’s based on an elegantly simple principle: to garden more like nature does.(这种被称为矩阵种植的
方法旨在让大自然在花园中承担更多繁重的工作，甚至承担一些设计工作。它避开化肥和电动工具，基于
一个极其简单的原则：更像大自然那样进行园艺种植)”和最后一段中“With human inputs dramatically
reduced, the garden’s ecology can develop well. Established matrix gardens should not need the life support we
give most gardens: fertilizer, dividing, regular watering. Compared to traditional garden plots, they increase carbon
absorption, reduce stormwater runoff and boost habitat and biodiversity significantly.(随着人类投入的大幅减少，
花园的生态系统可以良好发展。成熟的矩阵花园不需要我们给予大多数花园的维持手段：化肥、分株、定
期浇水。与传统花园地块相比，它们增加了碳吸收，减少了雨水径流，并显著改善了栖息地和生物多样
性)”可知，文章主要介绍了矩阵种植这种新型园艺设计方法，它让花园更接近自然、野生的状态，未来园
艺可能会朝着这种更自然、野生的方向发展。故A 项“The future of gardening is WILD(园艺的未来是自然
的)”能概括文章主旨，适合做文章标题。故选A 项。

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 Brömmelstroet 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.
1．What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A．Cars often get stuck on the road.
B．Traffic accidents occur frequently.
C．People walk less and drive more.
D．Pedestrians fail to follow the rules.
2．What were the Canadian journalist and other campaigners trying to do?
A．Keep their cities livable.
B．Promote cultural diversity.
C．Help the needy families.
D．Make expressways accessible.
3．What can be inferred about the campaigns in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s?
A．They boosted the sales of cars.
B．They turned out largely ineffective.
C．They won government support.
D．They advocated building new parks.
4．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Why the Rush?
B．What’s Next?
C．Where to Stay?
D．Who to Blame?

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了西方城市过度围绕汽车设计导致行人流动性下降，尤其是儿
童步行减少的现象，并通过历史案例和现状分析呼吁反思街道功能，重视城市宜居性。
1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“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

其是年轻儿童。许多家长说，路上的交通太拥挤，他们的孩子无法安全步行上学，所以他们把孩子塞进车
里)”可知，作者指出的现象是人们步行减少、开车增多。故选C。
2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“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

哈顿，她领导了一场阻止当地公园被毁的运动。在描述她对用高速公路取代公园的提议感到震惊时，Jane
Jacobs 呼吁她的市长捍卫“纽约作为适宜居住的地方，而不仅是匆匆穿过的通道”)”可推知，加拿大记者
和其他运动参与者旨在保持城市宜居性。故选A。
3．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“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. (尽管这些运动很普遍，但现实是大多数西方城市完全围绕汽车需求重新设
计。道路上的汽车数量一直在迅速增加)”可推知，20 世纪60 年代末和70 年代澳大利亚的竞选活动未能阻
止汽车发展，基本上没有效果。故选B。
4．主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据文章最后一段“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? (我们在帮助我们快速通过的道路上投入了大量资金，但我们没有考虑到真
正的成本。我们真的认识到当孩子们不能在我们的社区安全地移动时，我们作为一个社会将会付出什么代
价吗)”可推知，本文批判城市过度追求交通效率、忽视行人需求的现象，A 项“Why the Rush? (为何匆
匆？)”质问“rush through (匆匆通行)”的规划理念，契合主旨，最适合作为本文标题。故选A。

Does your soul die a little every time you throw away unused food? Mine does. Maybe that feeling comes
from growing up in South Africa, where the phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable
reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner time.
Food waste is a growing concern in the restaurant, supermarket, and supply chain industries. From technological
solutions to educational campaigns, food producers and sellers are looking for ways to use more of what we’re already
growing. But last month, one popular New York City restaurant tried a different way: It changed its menu to exclusively (
专门) offer food that would otherwise be thrown away.
For two weeks in March, Greenwich Village’s Blue Hill restaurant was renamed wastED, and served items
like fried skate cartilage, a juice pulp burger, and a dumpster diver’s vegetable salad. Each dish was tailor-made to
raise awareness regarding food waste.
A study by the Food Waste Alliance determined that the average restaurant generates 33 pounds of food waste
for every $1,000 in revenue (收入), and of that waste only 15.7% is donated or recycled. Up to 84.3% is simply
thrown out. Restaurants like Silo in the UK have experimented with zero-waste systems, but wastED took the concept
to its logical conclusion.
It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically made from garbage. Instead, all
the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most restaurants would never consider
serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber butts were all re-appropriated and,
with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine.
Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the start as a short-lived experiment; Blue
Hill has since returned to its regular menu. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that there are many ways to address
problems of sustainability, and that you can make an amazing meal out of almost anything.
1．What can be inferred about the author’s early life?
A．He witnessed food shortage.
B．He enjoyed the local cuisine.
C．He donated food to Africans.
D．He helped to cook at home.
2．Why did Blue Hill carry out the experiment?
A．To customize dishes for guests.
B．To make the public aware of food waste.
C．To test a food processing method.
D．To improve the UK’s zero-waste systems.
3．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．Why the ingredients were used.
B．Which dishes were best liked.
C．What the dishes were made of.
D．Where the ingredients were bought.
4．What can we learn about wastED?
A．It has ended as planned.
B．It is creating new jobs.
C．It has regained popularity.
D．It is criticized by top chefs.
【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了食物浪费问题，并以纽约一家餐厅的短期实验项目“wastED”为
例，该餐厅通过创意改造本该被丢弃的食材制作菜品，以此提高人们对可持续饮食的关注。
1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Maybe that feeling comes from growing up in South Africa where the
phrase “there are children starving in Africa” was more of an uncomfortable reminder of fact than a prayer at dinner
time. (这种感觉或许源于在南非的成长经历 —— 在那里，“非洲还有孩子在挨饿” 这句话与其说是晚餐
时的祈祷，不如说是对现实令人不安的提醒)” 可知，作者在南非长大，那里有孩子挨饿是事实，由此可推
断作者早年目睹了食物短缺的情况。故选A。
2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Each dish was tailor-made to raise awareness regarding food waste. (每道
菜都是量身定制的，以提高人们对食物浪费的认识)”可知，Blue Hill 餐厅进行这个实验，将菜单改为只提
供原本会被扔掉的食物，是为了提高公众对食物浪费的认识。故选B。
3．主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“It should be noted that none of the items on wastED’s menu was technically
made from garbage. Instead, all the ingredients (配料) used were examples of meat cuts and produce that most
restaurants would never consider serving. Things like kale ribs, fish collars, rejected sweet potatoes, and cucumber
butts were all re-appropriated and, with the help of a number of good chefs, turned into excellent cuisine. (值得注
意的是，从技术上讲，wastED 的菜单上没有一项是由垃圾制成的。相反，所有使用的食材都是大多数餐馆
永远不会考虑供应的肉类部位和农产品。羽衣甘蓝茎、鱼颈肉、被挑拣的红薯和黄瓜蒂等东西都被重新利
用，在许多优秀厨师的助力下，变成了美味的菜肴)”可知，本段主要介绍了wastED 菜单上的菜品所用的配
料，如羽衣甘蓝茎、鱼颈肉、被挑拣的红薯和黄瓜蒂等，所以本段主要讲的是这些菜肴是由什么做成的。
故选C。
4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Though wastED received enthusiastic reviews, it was designed from the
start as a short-lived experiment; Blue Hill has since returned to its regular menu. (尽管 wastED 餐厅收获了热烈
的评价，但它从一开始就被设计为短期实验项目；此后，Blue Hill 餐厅已回归常规菜单)”可知，wastED 从
一开始就被设计为短期实验，现在餐厅已恢复常规菜单，从而推断，实验项目“wastED”已经按计划结束
了。故选A。

In the early 1960s, Andy Warhol began experimenting with his signature silkscreen technique, which he used
to make artistic statements about mass production — including his famous works describing Coca-Cola bottles. “A
Coke is a Coke,” he once said. “and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the beggar on the
corner is drinking.”
Now, more than 60 years later, Coca-Cola is capitalizing on the artist’s statements. A new global ad campaign,
titled “Masterpiece,” features Warhol’s 1962 Coca-Cola, alongside paintings from other masters. Contemporary
artists like Stefania Tejada and WonderBuhle are also included.
The two-minute film opens in an art museum, where a group of students are drawing under the watchful eye
of their teacher — all except one young man, about to fall asleep, the page of his drawing book completely blank.
But then the paintings come to life. A hand from Aket’s Divine Idyll (2022) shoots out from its frame, pulling the
Coke bottle from Warhol’s painting, which hangs on a nearby wall. So begins the bottle’s journey through the major
works of the museum hall, as characters from paintings new and old throw the drink between them. The final
masterpiece we see, which ultimately delivers the ice-cold Coke to the student, is Johannes Vermeer’s Girl With A
Pearl Earring (1665). She opens the bottle and hands it over, just before the art student’s professor wanders over to
see his now-complete assignment.
The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts is on board with the new campaign. “These pieces, paired
with works by emerging artists from around the globe, celebrate the inspirational power of visual art through the
magical lens (镜头) of Coca-Cola.” says Michael Dayton, the foundation’s director of licensing, marketing and
sales.
In recent years, using famous artworks in advertising has become a popular strategy. But some artists have a
different opinion on these campaigns. In November, the British street artist Banksy called out the clothing brand
Guess for “helping themselves” to his artwork for a new collection without his permission. Meanwhile, American
artist Keith Haring’s work has been popping up seemingly everywhere, from Adidas sneakers to a Pandora jewelry
campaign.

【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。介绍了可口可乐借助艺术作品开展广告活动。
1．推理判断题。根据第一段““A Coke is a Coke,” he once said. “and no amount of money can get you a better
Coke than the one the beggar on the corner is drinking.”(“可乐就是可乐，”他曾说，“即便拥有万贯家财，你
喝到的可乐也不会比街角乞丐喝到的更高级。”)”可知，安迪·沃霍尔说即便拥有万贯家财，喝到的可乐也
不会比街角乞丐喝到的更高级，所以他认为可口可乐的价值在于它本身，而不是它的消费者。故选B 项。
2．主旨大意题。根据第三段“The two-minute film opens in an art museum, where a group of students are
drawing under the watchful eye of their teacher — all except one young man, about to fall asleep, the page of his
drawing book completely blank. But then the paintings come to life. A hand from Aket’s Divine Idyll (2022) shoots

是约翰内斯·维米尔1665 年的画作《戴珍珠耳环的少女》。她开启瓶盖递出可乐，恰在艺术教授踱步前来
检阅之时，学生已顺利完成画作)”可知，第三段详细描述了可口可乐广告的内容。故选A 项。
3．推理判断题。根据第四段““These pieces, paired with works by emerging artists from around the globe,
celebrate the inspirational power of visual art through the magical lens (镜头) of Coca-Cola.” says Michael Dayton,
the foundation’s director of licensing, marketing and sales.(“这些经典杰作与全球新锐艺术家的作品交织，通过
可口可乐的魔法镜头，颂扬视觉艺术的启迪力量。”基金会授权与市场总监迈克尔·戴顿表示)”可知，迈克
尔·代顿对可口可乐广告持支持态度。故选C 项。
4．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Now, more than 60 years later, Coca-Cola is capitalizing on the artist’s
statements. A new global ad campaign, titled “Masterpiece,” features Warhol’s 1962 Coca-Cola, alongside

余年后的今天，可口可乐公司正将这位艺术家的宣言转化为商机。名为“杰作”的新全球广告活动，特别
呈现了沃霍尔1962 年的《可口可乐》画作，并使其与其他大师杰作同台亮相。斯蒂法妮亚·特哈达、旺德
布尔等当代艺术家的作品也位列其中)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了可口可乐利用沃霍尔等艺术家
的作品开展“Masterpiece”营销活动，贯穿艺术与商业的结合，所以C 项“Coca-Cola’s “Masterpiece”
Campaign: Art Meets Marketing(可口可乐的“杰作”活动：艺术与营销)”是本文最好的标题。故选C 项。

Usain Bolt burned about 10kcal of energy to win his gold during the 200 metre spring final at the Olympic
Games, which could roughly power an old 60W light bulb for 11 minutes. If you could make use of all the power
generated by all the athletes during the Games, you would still be nowhere close to reaching the 29.5 billion Watts
consumed overall by the athletes, spectators and organizers over the event. We take sport for granted, but do we ever
consider its cost to the planet?
From the water required to maintain the golf course during The Masters tournament to the hundreds of flights it
takes to bring football fans to a World Cup, major sports events are not helping much in the fight against global
heating. What’s more, there is a lack of recognition within sport of its responsibilities and little discussion about
possible solutions.
This is strange, given that the effect works both ways: the climate crisis is not just affected by sports, but it is
already having a negative impact on many sports. When ice-climber Will Gadd set out to conquer the world’s glaciers,
he didn’t realize it would become a race against climate change. “I thought glaciers are there forever.” When he
arrived at the summit, Gadd was shocked: “The ice…wasn’t there. The things I planned to climb were gone.”
Global heating is noticeable in other sports. Amy Steel played professional netball until she suffered from
heatstroke after playing in 39℃ conditions and unfortunately, the damage was permanent. Not only that, but extreme
weather events made more frequent as a result of global heating mean sporting events are more often delayed or
canceled. This has cost sport billions in potential earnings.
Yet sport can be a powerful motivator: it can unite whole nations behind its teams. Could sport have a role to
play in driving climate awareness? Will Gadd and Amy Steel are among many athletes who think so? One thing is
certain. Sport must put climate change at the top of its agenda and decarbonize at a Usain Bolt-like pace to make a
difference.
1． What is the main focus of the first paragraph?
A．Why do sports events consume energy?
B．How much power do athletes generate?
C．What is the energy impact of sports events?
D．How did Bolt contribute to the environment?
2． Why does the writer use Will Gadd and Amy Steel as examples?
A．They initiated eco-friendly sports practices.
B．They sustained permanent injuries in sports.
C．They fell victim to climate-related incidents.
D．They achieved record-breaking performances.
3． What effect of global heating on sports is mentioned in the text?
A．Stricter facility restrictions.
B．Substantial financial losses.
C．Higher athlete training standards.
D．Prolonged outdoor sports seasons.
4． What can be a suitable title for the text?.
A．Sports in the Climate Crisis
B．Athletes against Global Heating
C．The Impact of Climate Change on Sport
D．The Environmental Cost of Outdoor Sports
【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候危机与体育运动的关系，即气候危机中的体育运动。
1．主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Usain Bolt burned about 10 kcal of energy to win his gold during the 200 metre
spring final at the Olympic Games, which could roughly power an old 60W light bulb for 11 minutes. If you could
make use of all the power generated by all the athletes during the Games, you would still be nowhere close to
reaching the 29.5 billion Watts consumed overall by the athletes, spectators and organizers over the event. We take
sport for granted, but do we ever consider its cost to the planet? (在奥运会200 米短跑决赛中，尤塞恩·博尔特为
赢得金牌消耗了大约10 千卡的能量，这些能量大约可以为一个60 瓦的旧灯泡供电11 分钟。如果你能利用
所有运动员在奥运会期间产生的所有能量，你仍然远不能达到运动员、观众和组织者在比赛期间消耗的
295 亿瓦的总能量。我们认为体育运动是理所当然的，但我们是否考虑过它给地球带来的代价)”可知，第
一段重点关注的是体育赛事的能量影响。故选C。
2．推理判断题。由文章第三段中“When ice-climber Will Gadd set out to conquer the world’s glaciers, he
didn’t realize it would become a race against climate change. “I thought glaciers are there forever.” When he
arrived at the summit, Gadd was shocked: “The ice…wasn’t there. The things I planned to climb were gone.”(当攀

第四段中“Amy Steel played professional netball until she suffered from heatstroke after playing in 39℃
conditions and unfortunately, the damage was permanent. (艾米·斯蒂尔在39℃的环境下打过职业无挡板篮球，
直到中暑才退役，不幸的是，她的伤势是永久性的)”可推知，作者使用二人作为例子，是想说明气候对运
动员的影响——他们成了气候相关事件的受害者。故选C。
3．细节理解题。由文章第四段中“Not only that, but extreme weather events made more frequent as a result of
global heating mean sporting events are more often delayed or canceled. This has cost sport billions in potential
earnings. (不仅如此，由于全球变暖，极端天气事件更加频繁，这意味着体育赛事更经常被推迟或取消。这
让体育界损失了数十亿美元的潜在收入)”可知，全球变暖造成体育运动重大财务损失。故选B。
4．主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“We take sport for granted, but do we ever consider its cost to the planet?
(我们认为体育运动是理所当然的，但我们是否考虑过它给地球带来的代价)”以及第三段第一句“This is
strange, given that the effect works both ways: the climate crisis is not just affected by sports, but it is already
having a negative impact on many sports.(这很奇怪，因为这种效应是双向的：气候危机不仅受到体育运动的
影响，而且它已经对许多体育运动产生了负面影响)”，尤其是文章最后一段中“Sport must put climate
change at the top of its agenda and decarbonize at a Usain Bolt-like pace to make a difference. (体育必须把气候变
化放在议程的首位，以尤塞恩·博尔特那样的速度去碳化，才能有所作为)”可知，本文主要说明了气候危机
与体育运动的关系。由此可知，Sports in the Climate Crisis(气候危机中的体育运动)适合作本文最佳标题。
故选A。

People today are much cleverer than they were in previous generations. A study of 72 countries found that
average IQs rose by 2.2 points per decade between 1948 and 2020. This stunning change is known as the Flynn Effect
after James Flynn, the scientist who first noticed it. Flynn was initially confused by his discovery. It took millions of
years for the brain to evolve. How could it improve so rapidly over just a few decades?
The answer is largely that people were becoming better nourished and mentally stimulated. Just as muscles
need food and exercise to grow strong, the brain also needs the right nutrients and activity to develop. Kids today are
much less likely to be malnourished (营养不良的) than they were in past decades, and more likely to go to school.
Yet there is no room for satisfaction. In poor and middle-income countries, many children are still too ill-fed to reach
the cognitive potential.
The world grows enough food, but several obstacles stop nutrients getting into young brains. One is war.
Families sheltering around cannot risk out to plant or harvest, and some governments intentionally starve certain
regions into submission. Another is disease. Hungry children fall sick more often, and the energy they spend battling
bugs cannot be devoted to growing brains. Poverty is also a big part of the problem. But global data from UNICEF,
an aid agency, show that although half the children with very restricted diets (including no more than two food groups)
are indeed from poor families, the other half are not. Other factors, such as poor eating habits, are to blame as well.
Research about how to overcome the obstacles is needed.
Some argue that human intelligence will matter less as people entrust ( 委托) their thinking to artificial
intelligence. To assume this would be as foolish as betting 100 years ago that the invention of the car would make it
unnecessary to walk. In the workplace, human intelligence and AI will probably assist each other. And brains are for
the joy of thinking, as well as earning money. Steven Pinker of Harvard University calls human intelligence “a
tailwind in life”, helping people adapt rationally to new challenges or a changing environment. For a modest price,
the next generation can have a stronger tailwind. It would not only be wrong to refuse them the tailwind. It would be
stupid.
1． What can we learn about the Flynn Effect?
A．Average IQs have risen fast in the past decades.
B．Intelligence has been stable across generations.
C．People now are as intelligent as their ancestors.
D．Better education leads to improved physical health.
2． What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A．The Flynn Effect has reached its peak.
B．Global problems continue despite IQ gains.
C．Society values human intelligence less. D．Malnutrition is merely a result of poverty.
3． What does the author think of artificial intelligence?
A．Useless.
B．Unique.
C．Beneficial.
D．Ineffective.
4． What is the best title for the passage?
A．Stages of IQ Development
B．Secrets to Rising IQs Worldwide
C．Insights Into Global IQ Trend
D．Influence of the Flynn Effect
【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全球智商尽管有所提高但仍存在的挑战，提供了对影响全球智
商上升趋势因素的深入观察。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段“A study of 72 countries found that average IQs rose by 2.2 points per decade
between 1948 and 2020. This stunning change is known as the Flynn Effect after James Flynn, the scientist who
first noticed it.(一项针对72 个国家的研究发现，从1948 年到2020 年，平均智商每十年上升2.2 个百分点。
这种惊人的变化被称为弗林效应，以第一位注意到这一现象的科学家詹姆斯·弗林的名字命名)”可知，过去
几十年里，平均智商上升得很快。故选A。
2．句意猜测题。根据划线词后文“In poor and middle-income countries, many children are still too ill-fed to
reach the cognitive potential.(在贫穷和中等收入国家，许多儿童仍然营养不良，无法发挥认知潜力)”可知，
后文提到在贫穷和中等收入国家，许多儿童仍然营养不良，无法发挥认知潜力，表明没有满足的余地。所
以即使智商有所提高，仍然存在全球性问题。故划线句意思是“尽管智商有所提高，全球问题仍在继续”。

(25-26 高三上·山东师范大学附属中学·月考)
Do you ever find yourself randomly thinking back to the times we wandered, collecting wildflowers and
smiling beneath the sky? That feeling is often referred to as nostalgia (怀旧).
Psychologists have defined nostalgia as a self-conscious, social emotion, bittersweet but dominantly positive.
It comes from our happy memories and our desire to go back to the past and reconnect with the people we cared
about. Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of autumn leaves might generate a
fierce longing for your childhood home. Almost everyone can experience nostalgia, although its object tends to vary
throughout life. One survey conducted by the psychologist Krystine Irene Batcho found that younger people felt more
nostalgia for pets, toys, and holidays than did older people, who felt it more strongly for music.
In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn’t make us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive
response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood. Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can
actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance
our view of life’s meaning, reduce fear of death, boost spirituality, and increase optimism.
Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some
suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-worth and belonging, particularly during
times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past overcome the current unpleasantness, offering
a bit of escape from tough times. To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past
experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-
college meetups can give us something to look forward to.
Perhaps because it is so powerful and complex, nostalgia has received magical treatment from poets and
writers. “The past is hidden somewhere outside the realm ( 领域), beyond the reach of intellect,” Marcel Proust
wrote.
1． Why does the author mention “autumn leaves” in the second paragraph?
A．To illustrate the complexity of nostalgia.
B．To emphasize the joyful nature of nostalgia.
C．To clarify nostalgia’s connection to our senses.
D．To stress individual variety of experiencing nostalgia.
2． What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The mismatch between two findings.
B．The potential benefits of nostalgia.
C．The impact of nostalgia on personal mood.
D．The mechanisms behind nostalgia’s effects.
3． What does the author suggest us do in paragraph 4?
A．Create shared traditions for bonding and joy.
B．Record the social gatherings regularly.
C．Recognize the unnecessary social gatherings.
D．Say no to the concept of escapism.
4． Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Nostalgia: Why We Should Avoid Reflecting on the Past
B．Nostalgia: A Shelter Against the Unhappiness of Our Life
C．A Nostalgia Warning: Our Mental Health Being Attacked
D．Power of Nostalgia: Struggling for an Irreplaceable Present
【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了怀旧的定义、产生原因、影响以及我们应如何利用怀旧来增强社
交关系和自我价值感。
1．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Often, nostalgia involves sensory stimuli. On some occasions, the smell of
autumn leaves might generate a fierce longing for your childhood home.”（怀旧通常涉及感官刺激。有时候，秋
天的树叶的气味可能会引发对你儿时家的强烈思念。）可知，作者提到“秋天的树叶”是为了说明怀旧与
我们的感官的联系。故选C。
2．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段的内容“In contrast to its links to negative emotions, nostalgia doesn’t make
us sadder. Rather, nostalgia is a defensive response to unhappiness, one that brings relief from a negative mood.
Research from 2006 shows that nostalgia can actually strengthen social ties, improve self-esteem, and uplift our
mood. Other studies suggest that it can also enhance our view of life’s meaning, reduce fear of death, boost
spirituality, and increase optimism.”（与它与负面情绪的联系相反，怀旧并不会让我们更悲伤。更确切地说，
怀旧是对不快乐的一种防御反应，它能让你从消极情绪中解脱出来。2006 年的研究表明，怀旧实际上可以
加强社会联系，提高自尊，提升我们的情绪。其他研究表明，它还可以增强我们对生命意义的看法，减少
对死亡的恐惧，提升精神，增加乐观情绪。），可以看出这一段主要讲述了怀旧的潜在好处，如增强社交
关系、提高自尊、提升我们的心情等。故选B。
3．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“To form stronger connections, we can establish traditions around shared past
experiences in families, friend groups, and workplaces. Observing special occasions like childhood sports or post-
college meetups can give us something to look forward to.”（为了形成更强的联系，我们可以在家庭、朋友圈
和工作场所建立围绕共享过去经历的传统。）可推知，作者建议我们创建共享的传统以增强联系和快乐。
故选A。
4．主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及第四段“Scholars remain uncertain about the precise mechanism behind the
effectiveness of nostalgia; however, some suggest that reflecting on joyful memories strengthens our sense of self-
worth and belonging, particularly during times of loneliness or self-doubt. Its power lets the happiness of the past
overcome the current unpleasantness, offering a bit of escape from tough times.”（学者们仍然不确定怀旧效应背
后的确切机制；然而，一些人认为，回忆快乐的记忆可以增强我们的自我价值感和归属感，尤其是在孤独
或自我怀疑的时候。它的力量可以让过去的快乐克服当前的不愉快，为艰难时期提供一点逃避。），文章
主要讲述了怀旧的定义、产生原因、影响以及我们应如何利用怀旧来增强社交关系和自我价值感，因此B
选项“怀旧：我们生活中的避难所”最能概括全文内容。故选B。

For something designed to streamline communication, corporate jargon ( 行话) often does the opposite—
leaving many employees confused and excluded.
A survey of more than 8,000 working professionals across eight countries found that 58 percent feel their
fellow employees overuse jargon. If given the opportunity, nearly half of them would remove its usage since
interpreting their meanings “causes stress and slows down productivity”.
Yet, we keep using it. Then why does it continue to exist?
“Language isn’t just about sharing information. It’s social,” said Daria Bahtina, a lecturer from the University of
California Los Angeles. “When we speak, we’re performing relationships, identities, and positions,” she explained.
This isn’t limited to managers or corporate departments. Bahtina noted specialized language pops up wherever people
gather, for example, in a team of software engineers, or even a neighborhood book club after their third bottle of
wine.
In addition, jargon is a means of exclusiveness. “Shared jargon can develop a sense of identity and community,”
said Eric Anicich, associate professor at the USC’s Marshall School of Business. Anicich and his team conducted
research that shows how office jargon is employed to draw invisible lines between insiders and outsiders. According to
their findings, lower-status individuals are more likely to use jargon in evaluative situations—not to clarify their
message but to signal intelligence and competence.
So, where do we go from here? When asked about his position on jargon, Anicich replied, “Jargon is used as
a tool—it’s not naturally good nor bad, so it depends on how and when you use it.”
In fact, jargon is integrated into everyday life in ways we barely notice. Bahtina mentions how fans of medical
dramas who have never set foot in a hospital can still understand phrases like “code blue”. “This doesn’t mean that
they can perform surgery; it shows how jargon can flow beyond its origin and become part of everyday speech,” she says.
Rather than going to extremes, experts agree that it’s best to question whether jargon is being used appropriately.
If our vocabulary is building walls instead of bridges, it may be time to circle back—and rethink how we speak at
work.
1．Why would employees stop using jargon if possible?
A．They find it less helpful.
B．They think it is used too often.
C．They prefer diverse expressions.
D．They intend to expand its meanings.
2．Who is more likely to use jargon according to the text?
A．A friend in the bar.
B．An employer on vacation.
C．A customer over the phone.
D．An applicant in an interview.
3．What is Eric Anicich’s attitude toward jargon?
A．Appreciative.
B．Unprejudiced.
C．Disapproving.
D．Indefinite.
4．What is a suitable title for the text?
A．Jargon: hated but used
B．Applying jargon, raising doubt
C．Jargon: a universal device
D．Using jargon, building bridges
【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．A
【导语】本文属于说明文。文章介绍了企业行话本为简化沟通，却常让员工困惑。调查显示超半数人觉同
事过度用行话，近半人想摒弃。专家解析行话用于社交、划分群体等，它是工具，好坏看怎么用，已融入
日常。
1．推理判断题。根据第一段“For something designed to streamline communication, corporate jargon (行话)
often does the opposite—leaving many employees confused and excluded.(对于一些旨在简化沟通的东西，公司
术语往往适得其反，让许多员工感到困惑和排斥)”以及第二段“A survey of more than 8,000 working
professionals across eight countries found that 55 percent feel their fellow employees overuse jargon. If given the
opportunity, nearly half of them would remove it to stop interfering with their meaning...(一项来自八个国家的
8000 多名专业人士的调查发现55%的人觉得他们的同事过度使用术语。如果有机会，近一半的人会把它拿
掉，以免干扰他们的意思)”可知，行话本应简化沟通，实际却让员工困惑、被排除在外，调查里近半员工
想摒弃行话，说明他们觉得行话没帮助，故选A。
2．推理判断题。根据第四段“Bahtina noted specialized language pops up wherever people gather, for example,
in a team of software engineers, or even a neighborhood book club after their third bottle of wine.(巴赫蒂娜指出，
只要人们聚集在一起，就会出现专门的语言，例如，在软件工程师团队中，甚至是在他们喝完第三瓶葡萄
酒后的社区读书俱乐部）”以及第五段“lower-status individuals are more likely to use jargon in evaluative
situations...(地位较低的人更有可能在评估的情况下使用行话)”可知，行话在人群聚集处出现，像工程师团
队、读书俱乐部这类群体场景，以及低地位个体在评估场景下使用。D 选项（An applicant in an interview
）面试者处于评估场景，符合低地位个体在评估场景用行话情况 。故选D。
3．推理判断题。根据第六段“Jargon is used as a tool—it's not naturally good nor bad, so it depends on how and
when you use it.（行话是作为一种工具来使用的——它没有天生的好坏之分，所以它取决于你如何以及何
时使用它)”可知，Eric Anicich 认为行话是工具，本身无好坏，取决于使用方式，这种态度是客观的
（Unprejudiced ），故选B。
4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕行话展开，讲了行话存在让员工困惑等问题但仍被使用，如第
一段说行话违背简化沟通初衷，却仍存在；后面讲行话在各种场景出现、不同人对其的看法等 。由此可
知，A 选项“Jargon: hated but used(行话：遭厌恶但被使用)”能概括文章大意，故选A。

A growing number of companies are building humanoid robots, and these mechanical look-alikes are starting
to appear in car factories and delivery places. Some businesses even promise robots for home use. Yet one big question
still has no answer: Why bother? Why make a robot in a human shape when it could take any imaginable form?
The usual answer is that humanoid robots could, in principle, handle any physical jobs a person can. But that
“in principle” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. If you’ve watched videos of these robots, you’ll get it — they’re often
clumsy, awkward machines. Sure, the technology helping them stand and move has come a long way, but they’re still
not as quick or graceful as humans. Meanwhile, robots built for a single job — like an arm shifting goods between
conveyor belts (传送带) — are now commonplace. Designed with one purpose, they do it really well, unlike humanoid
robots, which aim to do everything but often master nothing.
Another argument is that a human shape makes it easier for people to work with or control robots. This holds
some water, especially since many of these machines still need skilled human operators. Companies often avoid
admitting this, calling it a short-term phase, but the dream of fully independent, AI-powered humanoid robots — ones
that match or beat human workers — remains a long shot. For now, what we’ve got are human-shaped shells guided by
people behind the scenes. When Elon Musk introduced Tesla’s Optimus robot in 2021, he proudly claimed it could
teach, babysit, walk dogs, fetch groceries, or pour drinks. Yet those robots weren’t AI-driven, and each was controlled
by a hidden human. Notice a pattern? These tasks—low-wage, service-oriented jobs — suggest that, for now,
humanoid robots just mask human effort with a shiny surface.
Some remote-controlled robots serve real purposes, like in deep-sea exploration. But those machines aren’t
shaped like humans — they look like capsules or small vehicles, and they work just fine. The idea that robots must
be human-shaped is a failure of imagination.
Yes, humanoid robots look impressive. They remind us of the fantasies in science fictions where machines
handle all difficult tasks. But today, they are mostly marketing tools, masking human labor. And a robot that doesn’t
truly improve life is missing the point.

(2025 届重庆市西南大学附属中学高三下学期阶段检测十英语试题)
Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he
knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work
focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly.
For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The
answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. At its core, it’s a mathematical problem that reflects broader issues of
fairness, and so draws interest from mathematicians, economists, and social scientists alike.
The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal
pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s.
But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. For example, Alice
and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate. She may knowingly divide the cake unequally so
the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the
larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation.
The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements,
they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model
food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how
to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals.
Even after decades of investigation, cake-cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle with a well-defined solution.
Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together
abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore.
1．Why is Procaccia interested in cake-cutting?
A．Family duty and work focus.
B．Cake art and professional quality.
C．Hobby drive and skill improvement.
D．Status pursuit and economic benefits.
2．What can we learn about fairness from the example in paragraph 3?
A．Its standard is stable.
B．It prevents unequal division.
C．Its concept is complex.
D．It dominates personal preferences.
3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake-cutting?
A．The problems it produces.
B．The details of its process.
C．The application of its rules.
D．The harmony it symbolizes.
4．What is the best title for the text?
A．Cutting Cakes and Making Friends
B．The Math Behind Fair Cake-cutting
C．Why Kids Always Argue Over Cakes
D．A Sweet Way to Solve Math Problems
【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B

A study by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) identifies climate change as the key driver behind
unprecedented short-term food price spikes, with cascading (连锁的) effects on inflation, health, and social stability.
Published ahead of the UN Food Systems Summit in Ethiopia, it highlights how extreme weather linked to emissions
disrupts crops, triggering rapid price surges in staples.
Analyzing 50 global cases, the research focuses on immediate impacts. In 2023-24, drought and extreme heat
in cocoa giants Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire pushed prices up 300%. India’s heatwave raised onion costs by 89%, while
South Korea’s cabbage prices jumped 70% due to erratic (不稳定的) rainfall. Southern Spain’s olive oil prices rose
50% after prolonged drought.
Lead author Maximilian Kotz notes: “These shocks are historically unprecedented — temperatures far exceed
pre-industrial norms.” Such volatility (波动性) is 3-5 times more frequent than in the 1980s.
Developed economies aren’t immune. The UK’s June 2024 inflation hit 3.6% (above the 3.4% forecast), driven
by a third straight monthly rise in food prices — its highest in 18 months. “Extreme weather and poor harvests
created a perfect storm,” says British Retail Consortium’s Kris Hamer.
Kotz warns of broader risks: “Rising food prices are the second most visible climate impact, after extreme
heat. This stress sways elections, as seen in last year’s US vote.”
The study stresses urgency in reaching net-zero emissions. “Every degree of warming raises risks of catastrophic
(灾难性的) price shocks,” Kotz concludes. “We’re fighting for food security and social cohesion.”
1．Which is NOT a consequence of climate-driven food price spikes?
A．Social unrest.
B．Higher inflation in developed nations.
C．Reduced staple consumption.
D．Altered political outcomes.
2．The UK’s inflation data implies ________.
A．Developed nations avoid food price shocks
B．Climate impacts hit developing countries harder
C．Food inflation destabilizes even strong economies
D．The Bank of England controlled inflation effectively
3．The author’s attitude toward the study’s findings is ________.
A．skeptical
B．alarmed
C．indifferent
D．optimistic
4．Which best captures the passage’s central theme?
A．Technology’s role in climate mitigation.
B．Extreme weather and supply chain disruptions.
C．Climate change’s immediate impact on food and society.
D．UN efforts to address food security.

The Himalayan wolf and snow leopard are top predators (捕食者) in alpine ecosystems. Across the diverse
landscapes of the Asian highlands, herding (放牧) communities exhibit varying attitudes toward snow leopards and
wolves. Although snow leopards cause greater livestock loss, these communities generally show greater tolerance
and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where the more damaging predator is
contradictorily more tolerated.
Attitude toward snow leopards and wolves in the Himalayas are shaped by factors like religion and culture.
Snow leopards hold significant cultural and spiritual value, especially in Buddhism. Local folk tales boost snow
leopards’ awe, portraying them as holy beings linked to spiritual beliefs of the communities. In contrast to the awe
for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are
portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless predators. These tales shape public view, fostering hostility (敌意) and fear
toward wolves.
Conservation efforts in the Himalayas primarily concentrate on snow leopards, often overlooking other
sympatric carnivores ( 食肉动物), like wolves. Consequently, programs for population monitoring, habitat
preservation, and livestock insurance mainly benefit snow leopards, leaving wolves with minimal attention or
resources. Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological
significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward
wolves.
Interestingly, this difference exists despite both snow leopard and Himalayan wolf being globally classified as
Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
Both snow leopards and wolves are crucial to the Himalayan ecosystem, but conservation has overwhelmingly
favored snow leopards. This imbalance in attention and resources worsens the challenges faced by wolves, highlighting
the need for a balanced approach to conserve both species effectively.
1． What phenomenon does the “predator paradox” describe in paragraph 1?
A．Top predators always cause livestock loss.
B．More harmful predators are more accepted locally.
C．Locals tolerate different top predators equally.
D．Conservation focuses on more tolerated predators.
2． How do Himalayan herding communities view wolves?
A．As sacred Buddhist beings.
B．As tricky, fearsome hunters.
C．Less threatening than snow leopards.
D．As necessary contributors to the ecosystem.
3．What effect may the overlook of wolf conservation have?
A．It puts snow leopards in danger.
B．It worsens locals’ bitterness of wolves.
C．It improves the alpine ecosystem balance.
D．It slows the protection of carnivores overall.
4． What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Why Protect Snow Leopards More?
B．Who’s More Tolerated?
C．How to Save Wolves?
D．Where’s the Balance?

generally show greater tolerance and acceptance toward snow leopards. This illustrates the predator paradox, where
the more damaging predator is contradictorily more tolerated.(尽管雪豹造成了更大的牲畜损失，但这些社区对
雪豹却普遍表现出更大的容忍和接纳态度。这体现了“捕食者悖论”，即更具破坏性的捕食者反而更易得
到容忍。)”可知，“捕食者悖论”描述的是尽管雪豹对牲畜造成的损失更大，但这些社区对雪豹却表现出
更大的容忍和接受度，即更有害的捕食者在当地却更受欢迎，故选B 项。
2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“In contrast to the awe for snow leopards, wolves are widely disliked and
feared. This negative view stems from folklore, where wolves are portrayed as sly (狡猾的) and merciless

说，在这些故事中，狼被描绘成狡猾且无情的捕食者。)”可知，喜马拉雅的放牧社区将狼视为狡猾、可怕
的猎手，故选B 项。
3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Additionally, key policy documents prioritize snow leopard
conservation efforts, neglecting the ecological significance of wolves. This mistake slows down carnivore
protection and makes local communities feel bitter toward wolves.(此外，关键的政策文件将雪豹保护工作置于

Carbon stored thousands of years ago is being released by rivers worldwide, according to the findings that
suggest human activities are damaging the natural landscape more than previously thought.
Researchers already knew rivers release carbon dioxide and methane as part of the global carbon cycle. They
are thought to send out around two billion tonnes of this carbon each year. But when Josh Dean from the University
of Bristol, UK, and his colleagues set out to determine how old this carbon really is, they found that approximately
60% of the carbon released by rivers worldwide actually originated from stores dating back thousands of years. The
team used radioactive dating to assess the age of carbon and methane released from more than 700 river parts across
26 countries.
“What really astonished us, when we collected all the data we could get, was that more than half of the carbon
being released would be coming from these much older carbon stores,” says Dean. “There is a sort of continuous
change, or sideways flow, of these old carbon stores.”
Ancient carbon is trapped in rocks, peatlands (泥炭地) and wetlands. The findings suggest that as much as one
billion tonnes of it is being released back into the atmosphere each year through rivers. That means plants and soils
are removing around one billion tonnes more CO₂ from the atmosphere each year than first thought, to counter this
impact.
“The pressing question now is why rivers are releasing so much ancient carbon. It could be due to climate
change and other human activities disrupting the natural landscape,” says Dean. For example, rising temperatures
caused by climate change could be triggering the release of carbon from thawing permafrost, or accelerating the rate
of rock weathering. Other activities, such as the draining (排空) of peatlands or drying out of wetlands, could also be
contributing.
The findings will have implications for how nations draw up their climate plans, by determining how much
they rely on the natural landscape to remove ongoing CO₂ emission (排放).
1． How did Josh Dean feel about the findings?
A．Amused.
B．Surprised.
C．Ashamed.
D．Depressed.
2． Which of the following primarily address the carbon emission from rivers?
A．The researchers.
B．The 26 countries.
C．Plants and soils.
D．Ancient carbon stores.
3． What may Josh Dean advise people to do?
A．Explore rivers.
B．Protect wetlands.
C．Make more plans.
D．Release ancient carbon.
4． What may be the best title for the text?
A．Scientists discover the new secrets of carbon
B．Old rivers contribute to global climate change
C．Human activities damage global carbon cycle
D．Ancient carbon from rivers reveals climate impact

What do you do as spring sets in? Taking off your warm winter coat, and putting it away? For humans, taking
off winter coats is a one-minute task. As it turns out, not all animals are so capable.
Snowshoe rabbits live in the mountain ranges of North America, and have a pure white coat during the
wintertime to match the snowy surroundings and to help avoid being caught. And they take off winter coats for a
darker brown fur colour to match the dirt and leaves after the snow melts in the spring. Sounds like a great way to
escape from their natural enemies, right? However, concern begins when scientists begin looking at how the warming
climate will impact the rabbits.
There are more and more white rabbits in the middle of a brown habitat, where the snow has already melted
away. This is a problem for them, as they are more easily seen by their natural enemies, giving them a “mismatch”
problem. Snowshoe rabbits time the coat change in spring from white to brown based on the change in day length,
not the temperature or the presence of snow in their habitat. Nowadays, the snow is melting a week on average before
the change in day length signals the change in coat colour, leaving the rabbits exposed to their natural enemies.
Some predictions put the rabbits in up to 8 weeks of a white coat in a brown, snowless habitat by the end of
this century. This timeline could spell doom for their populations, as their natural enemies will have nearly two
months of easily spotting them.
Fortunately, scientists have found areas with snowshoe rabbits in colour from white to brown in the same place,
meaning the timing of the coat change can be influenced by the environment. Snowshoe rabbits reproduce quickly,
and if the colour change timing is passed down then it is possible for rabbits to change coats accordingly. By protecting
areas with variable ones, we can give snowshoe rabbits the opportunity to adapt to the changing climate.
1．Why does the author mention humans’ taking off winter coats?
A．To imply the cleverness of humans.
B．To stress the influence of climate change.
C．To lead to the problem of snowshoe rabbits.
D．To show the bond between humans and animals.
2．What has made scientists worry about snowshoe rabbits?
A．They are active in freezing winter.
B．They fail to keep their white colour.
C．They can’t get rid of white fur when snow melts.
D．They are easily caught by hunters on snowy days.
3．What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A．More rabbits will be killed.
B．Rabbits’ enemies are stronger.
C．The rabbit population will explode.
D．The rabbits may die out in the near future.
4．Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Snowshoe Rabbits: Masters of Coat Change.
B．Snowshoe Rabbits: Survivors of Illegal Hunting.
C．Snowshoe Rabbits: Victims of Climate Mismatch.
D．Snowshoe Rabbits: Witnesses of Natural Selection.

spotting them.(因为它们的天敌有近两个月的时间可以轻易发现它们。)”可知，容易被天敌发现就说明更多
的兔子会被杀死。故选A 项。
4．主旨大意题。分析全文内容，尤其根据第二段“Snowshoe rabbits live in the mountain ranges of North
America, and have a pure white coat during the wintertime to match the snowy surroundings and to help avoid
being caught. And they take off winter coats for a darker brown fur colour to match the dirt and leaves after the
snow melts in the spring. Sounds like a great way to escape from their natural enemies, right? However, concern
begins when scientists begin looking at how the warming climate will impact the rabbits.(雪鞋兔生活在北美的山
脉中，在冬天，它们有一层纯白色的皮毛，以适应下雪的环境，并帮助避免被抓住。春天雪融化后，它们
脱下冬衣，换上深棕色的皮毛，与泥土和树叶相匹配。听起来像是逃离天敌的好方法，对吧？然而，当科
学家开始研究气候变暖将如何影响兔子时，担忧就开始了。)”可知，本文主要说明气候变化导致雪靴兔因
毛色与环境不匹配而面临生存危机，并探讨其可能的适应机制，所以C 选项“雪鞋兔：气候不匹配的受害
者。”适合用作文章标题。故选C 项。

In 2018, the Czech government proposed a project to create a dam on a river southwest of Prague to revive the
local ecosystem and protect the species that inhabit the river. However, bureaucracy (官僚主义) held back the project.
But a colony of beavers (河狸), who do not care about paperwork, got to work. That is, they simply used stones,
wood and mud to build a dam on the river. Because there were no labor or material costs, the beavers have saved the
Czech government $1.2 million USD．
These ecosystem engineers build dams with three simple materials: wood, mud and stones. They place stones at
the base of the dams and then add tree trunks and branches. The mud acts as cement (水泥) and settles the construction.
These natural dams are so well built that they can last for many years, allowing the surrounding ecosystem to
flourish.
Some people consider these animals a nuisance, as they bite on trees and can change the environment quickly.
However, here are a few ways they benefit the environment. Firstly, Beaver dams encourage plant growth and peat
formation, which trap carbon, preventing it from being released into the air. Secondly, Beaver dams can filter water
almost twice as efficiently as human-built treatment plants. Besides, Beaver dams help to control runoff from heavy
rain, thus reducing the risk of flash flooding. And as you might expect, a moist area is less likely to burn. So, beaver
dams can also help limit forest fires.
Hunting nearly drove this species to extinction. But thanks to recent conservation efforts, beavers have been
successfully reintroduced to several areas in Europe, including the Czech Republic. Gerhard Schwab, a beaver expert
for the Federal Nature Conservation Association, returned delighted from a field study of be aver habitats and
enthusiastically announced the discovery of a valley in Belgium filled with newly formed ponds and streams. This is
a clear example of the beaver’s ability to transform its environment. It seems that we still have a lot to learn from
these natural engineers!
1．How do the beavers build their dam?
A．By relying only on costly cement.
B．By combining materials from nature.
C．By following human engineering plans.
D．By using modern construction equipment.
2．What environmental benefit do beavers bring about?
A．Controlling rainfall.
B．Increasing fish species.
C．Reducing forest fire risks.
D．Releasing carbon into the air.
3．Which factor contributes to beavers’ reintroduction?
A．The transformation of ecosystem.
B．The disappearance of human dams.
C．The construction of dams across Europe.
D．The conservation efforts to protect them.
4．What is the article mainly about?
A．Beavers are excellent ecosystem engineers.
B．Animals can revive rivers through their labor.
C．Beavers saved the Czech government one million.
D．Natural dams are more cost-efficient than human dams.
【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A

A 16th-century painting, Madonna and Child by Venetian artist Antonio Solario, has become the focus of an
international legal battle after resurfacing in Britain. Stolen in 1973 from a museum in Belluno, Italy, the artwork was
recovered in Austria alongside other stolen pieces but later acquired by Barbara De Dozsa, a British woman, whose
late husband purchased it “in good faith” that year.
De Dozsa refuses to return the painting, citing Britain’s Limitation Act 1980, which ensures legal ownership
to buyers of stolen goods if purchased innocently and held for over six years. However, Italian authorities and art
lawyer Christopher Marinello argue the work remains stolen property. The painting was identified in 2017 when De
Dozsa attempted to auction (拍卖) it, drawing special attention from Inter-police and Italian police databases. Due to
the delays for some unstoppable reason, Italy missed the deadline to submit legal documents, leading British police
to return the painting to De Dozsa in 2020.
Marinello, founder of Art Recovery International, insists the museum keeps legal ownership, stressing that
British police clearly denied transferring title to De Dozsa. The Belluno museum’s Carlo Cavalli stressed this position
again, stating possession does not equal to ownership.
De Dozsa claims financial burdens to contest the case, including $6,000 in legal fees and insurance costs, but
Marinello contradicts that the painting’s value ($60,000–$80,000) and illegal status render it unsellable. British police
cited Italy’s delayed response as a good reason for releasing the artwork to her.
The case underscores tensions between legal technical details and ethical obligations in art ownership. Solario,
active in Italy and possibly England, has works displayed in London’s National Gallery, highlighting the cultural
significance of reclaiming lost heritage. As legal efforts continue, the dispute remains unresolved, testing international
diplomatic manners for recovering stolen art.
1． What happened to the painting Madonna and Child?
A．It was sold in 1973.
B．It was found in Italy.
C．It was stolen in Austria.
D．It was auctioned in 2020.
2． What empowers De Dozsa to defend her legal ownership?
A．The painting’s high restoration cost.
B．The Limitation Act 1980 in British law.
C．The museum’s failure to report the theft timely.
D．Her late husband’s preference as an art collector.
3． According to Marinello, why can’t De Dozsa sell the painting?
A．It remains stolen property under law.
B．Its market value is too low to attract buyers.
C．British police ban any auction of the artwork.
D．The museum has already reclaimed it through legal means.
4． What is the best title of the passage?
A．The Challenges of Art Heritage Preservation
B．A Stolen Painting’s Recovery Through Europe
C．Ownership Dispute Under Different Legal Systems
D．A legal Battle Over a 16th-Century Stolen Masterpiece
【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．D
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了一幅16 世纪威尼斯艺术家Antonio Solario 创作的画作Madonna
and Child 在英国重新出现后引发的一场国际法律纠纷。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Stolen in 1973 from a museum in Belluno, Italy, the artwork was recovered in
Austria alongside other stolen pieces but later acquired by Barbara De Dozsa, a British woman, whose late husband
purchased it “in good faith” that year.(1973 年，这幅画在意大利Belluno 的一家博物馆被盗，后来在奥地利和
其他被盗作品一起被找到，后来被英国妇女Barbara De Dozsa 收购，她已故的丈夫当年“善意地”买下了
它)”可知，Madonna and Child 于1973 年被盗，且在同一年的晚些时候被卖给Barbara De Dozsa 的丈夫。故
选A。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段“De Dozsa refuses to return the painting, citing Britain’s Limitation Act 1980,
which ensures legal ownership to buyers of stolen goods if purchased innocently and held for over six years.(De
Dozsa 拒绝归还这幅画作，他援引了英国《1980 年时效法案》（Limitation Act 1980），该法案规定，如果
赃物购买者是在不知情的情况下购买，并且持有该赃物超过六年，那么购买者将获得对该赃物的合法所有
权)”可知，让De Dozsa 有权利捍卫自己的合法所有权的是英国法律中的《1980 年时效法案》。故选B。
3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“De Dozsa claims financial burdens to contest the case, including $6,000 in
legal fees and insurance costs, but Marinello contradicts that the painting’s value ($60,000–$80,000) and illegal
status render it unsellable.(De Dozsa 声称自己因应对这起案件而面临经济负担，包括6000 美元的律师费和保
险费用，但Marinello 反驳称，鉴于这幅画作的价值（6 万至8 万美元）及其非法性质，它根本无法出售)”
可知，根据Marinello 的说法，De Dozsa 不能卖掉这幅画是因为根据法律它仍然是赃物。故选A。
4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段“De Dozsa refuses to return the painting, citing Britain’s
Limitation Act 1980, which ensures legal ownership to buyers of stolen goods if purchased innocently and held for
over six years. However, Italian authorities and art lawyer Christopher Marinello argue the work remains stolen

买，并且持有该赃物超过六年，那么购买者将获得对该赃物的合法所有权。然而，意大利当局和艺术律师
Christopher Marinello 则认为，这幅画作仍属于被盗财产。2017 年，当De Dozsa 试图拍卖这幅画作时，它
被识别出来，并因此引起了国际刑警和意大利警方数据库的特别关注。但由于某些不可抗拒的原因导致的
延误，意大利错过了提交法律文件的截止日期，这使得英国警方在2020 年将这幅画作归还给了De Dozsa)”
可知，本文主要讲述了一幅16 世纪威尼斯艺术家Antonio Solario 创作的画作Madonna and Child 在英国重
新出现后引发的一场国际法律纠纷，因此最好的标题是D 选项“A legal Battle Over a 16th-Century Stolen
Masterpiece(16 世纪被盗名作的法律之争)”。故选D。

(2025 届湖南省长沙市天心区长沙市长郡中学高三下学期二模英语试题)
When someone proposes a false claim, what’s the best way to change their mind? A recent paper suggests that
immediately negating the claim with evidence isn’t especially effective. Instead, “bypassing (绕过)” the false claim
with positive counter (反)-claims about the topic might be a better strategy.
The conventional response to someone presenting misinformation is to present counter-evidence. As the
researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) put it, “The gold standard for tackling misinformation is
usually a correction that actually rebuts the misinformation.” Suppose, for example, that your dad passes back the
roast potatoes over a family dinner, saying, “Are these GMOs (转基因产品)? Nah, don’t want any more physical
reactions.” You might then say, “Actually, the health bodies of all the G7 agree that GMOs do not cause reactions.”
But that likely won’t work. The APPC team conducted six experiments where they compared actually correcting
someone with “bypassing” and found that using evidence and facts to disprove someone tends to be far less successful
at changing attitudes.
So, what is bypassing and why is it seemingly more effective? Bypassing is where, instead of providing some
negative disapproval of a claim, you provide positive counter-claims about the topic. For example, if someone tells
you that 5G kills birds, tell them that 5G adds billions to the world economy. Bypassing means not meeting your
misinformed opponent head-on. This is not a battle of arguments or the studies. You are pushing an argument into a
different position. It’s using someone’s movements and logic against them.
There are limitations to what the team at APPC has concluded. Their study into bypassing was largely about
attitudes to policies, not about belief change or belief correction. Someone might still believe that 5G kills birds or
that GMOs cause reactions, but admit that those are necessary bad things, compared to the positive outcomes you
present them with.
So, bypassing isn’t the only tool available, and it might not even be the best if your concern is belief change.
Changing someone’s belief is a complicated psychological topic, and there is definitely no one-size-fits-all strategy.
When it comes to policy decisions and willingness to accept a certain technology or medicine, bypassing seems like
a valuable tool to add to your kit.
1．What does the underlined word “rebuts” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Supports.
B．Ignores.
C．Contradicts.
D．Provides.
2．Which can be used as an example of “bypassing”?
A．GMOs are safe to eat because scientists say so.
B．GMOs can produce higher output with less cost.
C．5G doesn’t kill birds, for they show no connection.
D．5G kills birds, but their benefits outweigh the risks.
3．What do we know about the “bypassing” tool according to the text?
A．It is the most reliable way.
B．It may facilitate policy-making.
C．It is effective in belief correction.
D．It appears frequently in debates.
4．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Negating the Claim: Does It Work?
B．Challenging Misinformation: Bypass It!
C．Changing One’s Mind: Bypass It Indirectly!
D．Bypassing: A Better Way to Shift Attitudes!
【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了绕过虚假声明、用积极反声明反驳是改变他人态度的更好策
略。
1．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“The conventional response to someone presenting misinformation is to present
counter-evidence. As the researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) put it, “The gold standard for
tackling misinformation is usually a correction that actually rebuts the misinformation.” (面对传播错误信息的人，
传统的应对方式是提出反证。正如安嫩伯格公共政策中心（APPC）的研究人员所言，“应对错误信息的
黄金标准通常是进行实际rebuts 错误信息的纠正。”)”可知，应对错误信息的黄金标准通常是一个真正反
驳错误信息的纠正，所以rebuts 意为“反驳”，与Contradicts 意思相近。故选C。
2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Bypassing is where, instead of providing some negative disapproval of a claim,
you provide positive counter-claims about the topic. (绕过是指，不提供对某个声明的负面否定，而是提供关
于该主题的积极反声明)”可知，转基因作物可以以更低的成本生产更高的产量，属于关于转基因作物的积
极反声明。故选B。
3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“When it comes to policy decisions and willingness to accept a certain
technology or medicine, bypassing seems like a valuable tool to add to your kit. (当涉及到政策决策和接受某种
技术或药物的意愿时，绕过似乎是一个值得添加到你的工具箱中的有价值工具)”可知，绕过可能有助于政
策制定。故选B。
4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“A recent paper suggests that immediately negating the
claim with evidence isn’t especially effective. Instead, “bypassing (绕过)” the false claim with positive counter
(反)-claims about the topic might be a better strategy. (最近的一篇论文表明，立即用证据否定这一说法并不是
特别有效。相反，用关于该主题的积极反声明来“绕过”虚假声明可能是一个更好的策略)”可知，本文主
要讲述的是绕过虚假声明、用积极反声明反驳是改变他人态度的更好策略，所以D 选项“Bypassing: A
Better Way to Shift Attitudes! (绕过：改变态度的更好方式！)”最适合作为本文标题。故选D。

As pressure grows to get artificial colors out of the U.S. food supply, the shift may well start at Abby Tampow’s
laboratory desk. Tampow is part of the team at Sensient Technologies Corp., a top dye-maker (色素生产商), helping
thousands of U. S. businesses change colors for products like cereals and sports drinks.
Last week, U. S. health officials announced plans to persuade food companies to voluntarily remove petroleum-
based (石油基的) artificial dyes by the end of 2026. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called them “poisonous
compounds” that endanger children’s health and development, citing limited evidence of potential health risks.
But making the change from the petroleum-based dyes to colors taken from vegetables, fruits, flowers and
even insects won’t be easy, fast, or cheap, said Monica Giusti, an Ohio State University food color expert. “If all
companies were to remove artificial colors from their products, the supply of the natural alternatives would not be
enough,” Giusti said.
“It’s not like there’s 150 million pounds of beet juice sitting around waiting on the off chance the whole market
may switch,” said Paul Manning, the company’s chief executive. Natural dyes are harder to make and use than
artificial colors. They are less consistent in color, less stable and subject to changes related to acidity, heat, and light.
Also, a natural color costs about 10 times more to make than the artificial version.
In 2016, food giant General Mills removed artificial dyes from Trix cereal, switching to natural sources. But
the cereal lost its neon colors and became less vibrant, resulting in consumers’ negative reaction. Trix fans said they
missed the bright colors and familiar taste of the cereal. In 2017, the company switched back.
Kennedy, the health secretary, said U. S. officials have an “understanding” with food companies to phase out
artificial colors. Industry officials told The Associated Press that there is no formal agreement. However, several
companies have said they plan to accelerate a shift to natural colors in some of their products.
1．What can be inferred about Abby Tampow’s work?
A．She works to replace artificial colors.
B．She develops a new artificial color.
C．She markets cereals and sports drinks.
D．She researches health risks of colors.
2．Why are health officials urging the removal of petroleum-based dyes?
A．To lower the production costs.
B．To prevent possible health risks.
C．To promote natural alternatives.
D．To push food companies’ reform.
3．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．Why natural dyes are hard to make.
B．Which dyes are more popular.
C．What limitations natural dyes have.
D．How natural dyes are produced.
4．What can be learned about General Mills’ attempt?
A．Health is a top concern in food companies.
B．Color is a powerful driver of consumer behavior.
C．Taste is the decisive factor in the food sales.
D．Source is the priority in food color research.
【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是美国推动食品行业用天然色素替代人工色素的背景、挑战及
企业实践。
1．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Tampow is part of the team at Sensient Technologies Corp., a top dyemaker
（色素生产商），helping thousands of U. S. businesses change colors for products like cereals and sports drinks.
(Tampow 是Sensient Technologies Corp.(一家顶级色素生产商）团队的一员，帮助数千家美国企业为谷物和
运动饮料等产品更换色素)”可知，她的工作是帮助企业更换色素，结合前文提到要去除人工色素，可推断
她致力于用其他色素替代人工色素。故选A 项。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called them “poisonous compounds”
that endanger children’s health and development, citing limited evidence of potential health risks.(卫生部长小罗伯
特·F·肯尼迪称它们为“有毒化合物”，危及儿童健康和发育，他提到了一些有关潜在健康风险的有限证
据)”可知，卫生官员敦促去除石油基染料是为了防止可能的健康风险。故选B 项。
3．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Natural dyes are harder to make and use than artificial colors. They are less
consistent in color, less stable and subject to changes related to acidity, heat, and light. Also, a natural color costs
about 10 times more to make than the artificial version.(天然染料比人工色素更难制作和使用。它们颜色一致
性较差，稳定性较低，并且容易受到酸度、热量和光照变化的影响。此外，制作一种天然色素的成本大约
是人工色素的10 倍)”可知，第四段主要讲述了天然染料在制作、使用、颜色稳定性及成本等方面存在的局
限性。故选C 项。
4．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“In 2016, food giant General Mills removed artificial dyes from Trix cereal,
switching to natural sources. But the cereal lost its neon colors and became less vibrant, resulting in consumers’

了鲜艳的颜色，变得不那么有活力，导致消费者产生负面反应。Trix 的粉丝表示，他们怀念这种谷物明亮
的颜色和熟悉的味道。2017 年，该公司又换回了原来的色素)”可知，因为更换色素后颜色变化引发消费者
负面反应，公司又换回，说明颜色对消费者行为有很大影响，是消费者行为的一个重要驱动因素。故选B
项。
