In our fast-paced, stressful lives, we’re often turning to social media, online shopping, or gaming to escape daily pressures. However, the experience can often be the opposite, leaving us more exhausted. This begs the question: do we scroll because we’re stressed, or are we stressed because we scroll
To better understand the subtle (微妙的) relationship of stress and internet use, particularly how specific online behaviors influence stress levels, Belal’s team, from Finland’s Aalto University, conducted one of the first studies. They recorded real-world internet usage through tracking software installed on participants' bined with a large sample size and a lengthy observation period, the findings offer especially valuable insight into how online habits tie in with stress.
The study, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, collected internet usage data from around 1,500 adults over a seven-month period, comprising nearly 47 million web visits and 14 million app sessions. When compared with participants’ self-reported stress levels from questionnaires, researchers found a strong link between internet use and increased stress, particularly among those who already experienced daily stress. Women consistently reported higher stress levels than men, while stress tended to decrease with age and wealth. Not all online activities were equal, though. The study found that extended time spent on social media, online shopping, and gaming platforms was associated with higher stress levels compared to activities like checking emails or reading the news.
There are always concerns over internet life, especially increasing social media engagement, and some countries, such as Australia, banned social media for anyone under 16. The researchers hope that by gathering more detailed information about people’s internet habits, they can eventually develop concrete recommendations and tools that support healthier, more regulated online engagement. Juhi Kulshrestha, assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science, cautions against oversimplified solutions. She believes that blanket bans on internet use may overlook the emotional support certain online spaces provide. And it's really crucial to study these issues further so the chicken and egg problem can be solved.
The research team plans to explore how different types of news—political, entertainment, or sports coverage—affect stress, helping further clarify the internet’s complex role in mental health.
28. Why did Belal's team conduct their research
A. To compare job-related stress levels. B. To prove why internet use results in stress.
C. To create apps to help lower stress in adults. D. To study how stress interacts with internet use.
29. What is a feature of the research method
A. Focusing on a specific age group. B. Conducting nationwide online interviews.
C. Collecting large-scale real data over time. D. Using lab experiments to measure stress levels.
30. Which online activity likely causes the least stress according to the research
A. Checking emails. B. Shopping. C. Playing games. D. Chatting.
31. What does Juhi warn against
A. Judging a book by its cover. B. Sacrificing tomorrow for today.
C. Painting everything with the same brush. D. Counting your chickens before they hatch.
【答案】28-31 DCAC

Think of evolution（进化）, and you might think of Darwin’s natural selection. But according to researchers writing in the journal BioScience, it is not our genes that are determining our current evolutionary journey. It is our culture. “Cultural evolution eats genetic evolution for breakfast,” said Zachary Wood, a researcher in ecology and environmental sciences at the University of Maine.
Although genetics drove the most fundamental changes in our evolutionary past, this process is incremental. Cultural evolution, in contrast, can occur within the time it takes to pass a law. Timothy Waring, an associate professor at the University of Maine, said, “Culture solves problems much more rapidly than genetic evolution. This suggests our species is in the middle of a great evolutionary transition.”
Cultural practices integrate everything from farming techniques and legal requirements to medical advances. Cultural evolution is not new—the transition to agriculture, for example, has seen humans move from hunter-gatherer societies to permanent settlements. But, Wood and Waring argue, the impact of cultural evolution is growing. When we see increases in our life expectancy, it is less often the result of genes and more likely the product of advancements in healthcare and other related aspects.
Still not convinced “Ask yourself: what matters more for your personal life outcomes, the genes you are born with, or the country where you live ” said Waring. “Today, your wellbeing is determined less and less by your personal biology and more and more by the cultural systems that surround you—your community, your nation, your technologies.”
Some experts believe we are heading towards a future where all of humanity will function as a single unit, much like an ant colony（群落）does. Wood and Waring do not believe we are there yet, but predict that in the long term, culture will continue to grow in influence over human evolution until genes become secondary and are ultimately controlled by culture.
28. What does the underlined word “incremental” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Normal. B. Gradual. C. Difficult. D. Short.
29. How does the author show the impact of cultural evolution
A. By giving an example of medical advances.
B. By mentioning the origin of human society.
C. By citing the opinions of different researchers.
D. By highlighting cultural practices in various areas.
30. How did Waring sound in paragraph 4
A. Confused. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Critical.
31. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. The loss of human individuality. B. The speed of cultural change.
C. The future dominance of culture. D. The structure of an ant colony.

The Three Gorges Dam, located on the Yangtze River in China, is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. It is an impressive hydropower project, with over 20 times the energy-generating capacity of the Hoover Dam. Now, China wants to build another revolutionary energy source: a solar array (阵列) in space.
“It is as significant as moving the Three Gorges Dam to a geostationary orbit (地球静止轨道) 36, 000 km above the Earth,” Long Lehao, a rocket scientist and member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), said in a lecture reported by the South China Morning Post. “This is an incredible project to look forward to. ” The space-based solar power (SBSP) stations work by using a system of mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto panels, which then generate electricity. The electricity is then transformed to microwave radiation and beamed to a fixed antenna (天线) on Earth.
SBSP panels are more reliable than the solar panels on your roof because they aren't affected by seasonal weather or nights. They can generate much more electricity than ground panels, as sunlight is much more intense in space than on Earth's surface. A recent NASA study even predicted that one model of space-based solar power could generate power for 99% of the year. As Long said in his lecture: “The energy collected in one year will be equal to the total amount of oil that can be extracted from the Earth. ”
However, there are a few drawbacks holding space companies back—namely, the sheer size of the project. The solar array is predicted to be a kilometer wide once fully established. To get their array into space, Long and his team are working on developing the Long March-9 (or CZ-9)—a reusable heavy-lift rocket with a lifting capacity of at least 150 tons. That's like lifting a full-grown blue whale into space.
The solar array isn’t the only plan China has for space research—it also plans to reach the Moon and build an International Lunar Research Station in partnership with Russia by 2035.
28. How do the SBSP stations send electricity to Earth
A. By sending microwaves to a ground receiver. B. By storing it in batteries and sending them back.
C. By transporting solar panels back to Earth. D. By sending sound waves through the air.
29. What are the advantages of SBSP over ground-based solar energy
A. Lower cost and easier maintenance. B. Higher reliability and productivity.
C. Better stability and greener energy. D. Greater efficiency and accuracy.
30. How does the author develop the fourth paragraph
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By listing some examples. D. By explaining problem and solution.
31. What’s the main idea of the text
A. The advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
B. China's plan to build a solar power station in space.
C. The Three Gorges Dam as a model for space projects.
D. The potential of SBSP stations to replace earth-based plants.

Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy—a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service.
His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert’s retina（视网膜）. Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community.
The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care.
“Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.”
The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately flagged hundreds of at-risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes.
Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings.
28. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the AI program was introduced
A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease. B. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment.
C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment. D. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated.
29. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text
A. It replaces the need for human doctors. B. It provides immediate treatment for patients.
C. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods. D. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities.
30. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”
A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They treat complex diseases.
C. They manage initial screenings. D. They work without specialists.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How is AI Transforming Eye Care B. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant
C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors

What is your favorite work of art Now imagine it was created by artificial intelligence (AI).
A recent U.S. survey explored public views on AI-generated art. The results were clear: most participants disliked art made entirely by AI. They believed human art possesses an emotional depth that machines cannot一and perhaps should not—reproduce. In fact, over 60% said they would like their favorite piece of art less if it was AI-generated with no human involvement.
The core issue is that we seek the human experience in art. We want to see the artist’s personal touch, their story, and their effort. As one respondent noted, a film like Good Will Hunting is valued as “a masterpiece of the human experience.” As philosopher John Dewey wrote, art is a fundamental form of communication. If great art comes from human emotions, what is the role of AI
The survey found people are open to AI as a tool. When asked if AI users are artists, 42% said “Yes, but only if they provide significant guidance.” Only 13% considered AI users artists without reservation. This suggests that people see AI as an assistant to human creativity, not a replacement for the artist.
This is important because art can be inaccessible. Many face barriers like cost, lack of resources, or physical limitations. For instance, professional tools and training are often expensive or geographically limited. AI has the potential to lower these barriers, making creation more accessible to everyone. For example, some professionals are already using AI to help new storytellers. However, we often value effort and handmade items more. Therefore, for AI-assisted art to be trusted, it needs a clear connection to the author's unique vision. Art forms that rely heavily on genuine human connection, like movies and podcasts（播客）, were seen as least suitable for AI creation.
In conclusion, while AI’s role in art will grow, our survey shows that people value it most as a means of human connection and prefer it to assist rather than replace the artist.
28. What is the main finding of the survey
A. Public resistance to fully AI art is common. B. AI is incapable of creating emotionally deep art.
C. Most people refuse to accept any form of AI art. D. AI art is considered more valuable for its efficiency.
29. What’s the major reason behind the finding
A. The concern about art’s cost and access. B. The demand for guidance during creation.
C. The appreciation for human individuality in art. D. The recognition of art as human communication.
30. What does the author try to convey in Paragraph 5
A. The function of AI in supporting art creators. B. The threat of AI-assisted art to traditional art.
C. The potential of human efforts being replaced. D. The value of human involvement in art creation.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The AI Artist: A Rising Force in Art B. AI's Role in Art: A Tool, Not a Replacement
C. Human Art: The Unbeatable Human Element D. AI’s Creativity: The Limits of Smart Technology

A山东省潍坊市2026届一模考试
In our fast-paced, stressful lives, we’re often turning to social media, online shopping, or gaming to escape daily pressures. However, the experience can often be the opposite, leaving us more exhausted. This begs the question: do we scroll because we're stressed, or are we stressed because we scroll
To better understand the subtle (微妙的) relationship of stress and internet use, particularly how specific online behaviors influence stress levels, Belal’s team, from Finland's Aalto University, conducted one of the first studies. They recorded real-world internet usage through tracking software installed on participants' bined with a large sample size and a lengthy observation period, the findings offer especially valuable insight into how online habits tie in with stress.
The study, published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, collected internet usage data from around 1,500 adults over a seven-month period, comprising nearly 47 million web visits and 14 million app sessions. When compared with participants’ self-reported stress levels from questionnaires, researchers found a strong link between internet use and increased stress, particularly among those who already experienced daily stress. Women consistently reported higher stress levels than men, while stress tended to decrease with age and wealth. Not all online activities were equal, though. The study found that extended time spent on social media, online shopping, and gaming platforms was associated with higher stress levels compared to activities like checking emails or reading the news.
There are always concerns over internet life, especially increasing social media engagement, and some countries, such as Australia, banned social media for anyone under 16. The researchers hope that by gathering more detailed information about people's internet habits, they can eventually develop concrete recommendations and tools that support healthier, more regulated online engagement. Juhi Kulshrestha, assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science, cautions against oversimplified solutions. She believes that blanket bans on internet use may overlook the emotional support certain online spaces provide. And it's really crucial to study these issues further so the chicken and egg problem can be solved.
The research team plans to explore how different types of news—political, entertainment, or sports coverage—affect stress, helping further clarify the internet's complex role in mental health.
28. Why did Belal's team conduct their research
A. To compare job-related stress levels. B. To prove why internet use results in stress.
C. To create apps to help lower stress in adults. D. To study how stress interacts with internet use.
29. What is a feature of the research method
A. Focusing on a specific age group. B. Conducting nationwide online interviews.
C. Collecting large-scale real data over time. D. Using lab experiments to measure stress levels.
30. Which online activity likely causes the least stress according to the research
A. Checking emails. B. Shopping. C. Playing games. D. Chatting.
31. What does Juhi warn against
A. Judging a book by its cover. B. Sacrificing tomorrow for today.
C. Painting everything with the same brush. D. Counting your chickens before they hatch.

Think of evolution（进化）, and you might think of Darwin’s natural selection. But according to researchers writing in the journal BioScience, it is not our genes that are determining our current evolutionary journey. It is our culture. “Cultural evolution eats genetic evolution for breakfast,” said Zachary Wood, a researcher in ecology and environmental sciences at the University of Maine.
Although genetics drove the most fundamental changes in our evolutionary past, this process is incremental. Cultural evolution, in contrast, can occur within the time it takes to pass a law. Timothy Waring, an associate professor at the University of Maine, said, “Culture solves problems much more rapidly than genetic evolution. This suggests our species is in the middle of a great evolutionary transition.”
Cultural practices integrate everything from farming techniques and legal requirements to medical advances. Cultural evolution is not new—the transition to agriculture, for example, has seen humans move from hunter-gatherer societies to permanent settlements. But, Wood and Waring argue, the impact of cultural evolution is growing. When we see increases in our life expectancy, it is less often the result of genes and more likely the product of advancements in healthcare and other related aspects.
Still not convinced “Ask yourself: what matters more for your personal life outcomes, the genes you are born with, or the country where you live ” said Waring. “Today, your wellbeing is determined less and less by your personal biology and more and more by the cultural systems that surround you—your community, your nation, your technologies.”
Some experts believe we are heading towards a future where all of humanity will function as a single unit, much like an ant colony（群落）does. Wood and Waring do not believe we are there yet, but predict that in the long term, culture will continue to grow in influence over human evolution until genes become secondary and are ultimately controlled by culture.
28. What does the underlined word “incremental” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Normal. B. Gradual. C. Difficult. D. Short.
29. How does the author show the impact of cultural evolution
A. By giving an example of medical advances.
B. By mentioning the origin of human society.
C. By citing the opinions of different researchers.
D. By highlighting cultural practices in various areas.
30. How did Waring sound in paragraph 4
A. Confused. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Critical.
31. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. The loss of human individuality. B. The speed of cultural change.
C. The future dominance of culture. D. The structure of an ant colony.

C 2025年12月湖南长郡二十校高三联考英语-阅读C篇
The Three Gorges Dam, located on the Yangtze River in China, is the largest hydroelectric dam in the world. It is an impressive hydropower project, with over 20 times the energy-generating capacity of the Hoover Dam. Now, China wants to build another revolutionary energy source: a solar array (阵列) in space.
“It is as significant as moving the Three Gorges Dam to a geostationary orbit (地球静止轨道) 36, 000 km above the Earth,” Long Lehao, a rocket scientist and member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), said in a lecture reported by the South China Morning Post. “This is an incredible project to look forward to. ” The space-based solar power (SBSP) stations work by using a system of mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto panels, which then generate electricity. The electricity is then transformed to microwave radiation and beamed to a fixed antenna (天线) on Earth.
SBSP panels are more reliable than the solar panels on your roof because they aren't affected by seasonal weather or nights. They can generate much more electricity than ground panels, as sunlight is much more intense in space than on Earth's surface. A recent NASA study even predicted that one model of space-based solar power could generate power for 99% of the year. As Long said in his lecture:"The energy collected in one year will be equal to the total amount of oil that can be extracted from the Earth. ”
However, there are a few drawbacks holding space companies back—namely, the sheer size of the project. The solar array is predicted to be a kilometer wide once fully established. To get their array into space, Long and his team are working on developing the Long March-9 (or CZ-9)—a reusable heavy-lift rocket with a lifting capacity of at least 150 tons. That's like lifting a full-grown blue whale into space.
The solar array isn’t the only plan China has for space research—it also plans to reach the Moon and build an International Lunar Research Station in partnership with Russia by 2035.
28. How do the SBSP stations send electricity to Earth
A. By sending microwaves to a ground receiver. B. By storing it in batteries and sending them back.
C. By transporting solar panels back to Earth. D. By sending sound waves through the air.
29. What are the advantages of SBSP over ground-based solar energy
A. Lower cost and easier maintenance. B. Higher reliability and productivity.
C. Better stability and greener energy. D. Greater efficiency and accuracy.
30. How does the author develop the fourth paragraph
A. By making comparisons. B. By analyzing cause and effect.
C. By listing some examples. D. By explaining problem and solution.
31. What’s the main idea of the text
A. The advantages and disadvantages of solar energy.
B. China's plan to build a solar power station in space.
C. The Three Gorges Dam as a model for space projects.
D. The potential of SBSP stations to replace earth-based plants.

D 2025年12月浙江强基联盟高三联考英语-阅读C篇
Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes（糖尿病）for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy—a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service.
His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert’s retina（视网膜）. Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community.
The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by humantiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care.
“Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.”
The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately flagged hundreds of at-risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes.
Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings.
28. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the AI program was introduced
A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease. B. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment.
C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment. D. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated.
29. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text
A. It replaces the need for human doctors. B. It provides immediate treatment for patients.
C. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods. D. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities.
30. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”
A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They treat complex diseases.
C. They manage initial screenings. D. They work without specialists.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How is AI Transforming Eye Care B. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant
C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors

E 2025年12月重庆八中高三月考（四）英语-阅读C篇
What is your favorite work of art Now imagine it was created by artificial intelligence (AI).
A recent U.S. survey explored public views on AI-generated art. The results were clear: most participants disliked art made entirely by AI. They believed human art possesses an emotional depth that machines cannot一and perhaps should not—reproduce. In fact, over 60% said they would like their favorite piece of art less if it was AI-generated with no human involvement.
The core issue is that we seek the human experience in art. We want to see the artist’s personal touch, their story, and their effort. As one respondent noted, a film like Good Will Hunting is valued as “a masterpiece of the human experience.” As philosopher John Dewey wrote, art is a fundamental form of communication. If great art comes from human emotions, what is the role of AI
The survey found people are open to AI as a tool. When asked if AI users are artists, 42% said “Yes, but only if they provide significant guidance.” Only 13% considered AI users artists without reservation. This suggests that people see AI as an assistant to human creativity, not a replacement for the artist.
This is important because art can be inaccessible. Many face barriers like cost, lack of resources, or physical limitations. For instance, professional tools and training are often expensive or geographically limited. AI has the potential to lower these barriers, making creation more accessible to everyone. For example, some professionals are already using AI to help new storytellers. However, we often value effort and handmade items more. Therefore, for AI-assisted art to be trusted, it needs a clear connection to the author's unique vision. Art forms that rely heavily on genuine human connection, like movies and podcasts（播客）, were seen as least suitable for AI creation.
In conclusion, while AI’s role in art will grow, our survey shows that people value it most as a means of human connection and prefer it to assist rather than replace the artist.
28. What is the main finding of the survey
A. Public resistance to fully AI art is common. B. AI is incapable of creating emotionally deep art.
C. Most people refuse to accept any form of AI art. D. AI art is considered more valuable for its efficiency.
29. What’s the major reason behind the finding
A. The concern about art’s cost and access. B. The demand for guidance during creation.
C. The appreciation for human individuality in art. D. The recognition of art as human communication.
30. What does the author try to convey in Paragraph 5
A. The function of AI in supporting art creators. B. The threat of AI-assisted art to traditional art.
C. The potential of human efforts being replaced. D. The value of human involvement in art creation.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. The AI Artist: A Rising Force in Art B. AI's Role in Art: A Tool, Not a Replacement
C. Human Art: The Unbeatable Human Element D. AI’s Creativity: The Limits of Smart Technology
