feeling on top of the world
　　 （2025 全国二卷，阅读C）When Sonja Detrinidad opened
her online shop selling houseplants， she didn’t have high hopes
for it．But the opposite happened：She was flooded， shipping out 1，200 orders in June of 2020 alone．In the past year， Detrinidad sent out more than 70，000 plants．Her success is just one example of increased time at home leading to an explosion in the houseplant industry．
　　“Plants are in fashion right now，” says Dr．Melinda Knuth， a researcher from the University of Florida．“People who live in plant－ rich environments report a higher life satisfaction rating，” she says．“Adding more nature to our environment can change our mood and how we think．” Plants can improve our state of mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing our level of cortisol， the stress hormone （激 素） in our body．
　　“Students who are around plants perform better academically than students who are in a classroom without plants，” says Knuth．“This
productivity also translates into the workplace for adults．Our study showed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave for people who were in plant－rich workplaces．”
　　If you’re among the groups of people who are enjoying the mental and physical health benefits of surrounding yourself with plants， don’t beat yourself up if one （or a few!） doesn’t make it．“Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law and you should allow yourself the practice it takes to sustain a plant．Tending to plants is an exercise in patience and learning．Be invested in taking care of it， but if it dies， go get another one，” Detrinidad says．
做真题——感悟命题角度
28. How was Detrinidad’s business when it started？（　　）
A． It faced tough competition．
B． It suffered a great loss．
C． It got lots of financial support．
D． It went surprisingly well．
解析：　细节理解题。根据第一段前两句可知，Detrinidad起初对生 意并不抱有很高的期望，但结果相反，订单量非常大。也就是说， Detrinidad的生意出乎意料地顺利。
√
29. What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants？（　　）
A． They appeal more to students．
B． They purify the environment．
C． They raise the cortisol level．
D． They enhance productivity．
解析：　细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，这种生产力提升 同样适用于成年人的工作环境。研究表明，在植物茂盛的办公场所 中，员工的病假率下降了30%。由此可知，植物能提升工作效率。
√
30. What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers？（　　）
A． The necessity of social skills．
B． The meaning of sustainability．
C． The importance of repeated efforts．
D． The value of professional opinions．
√
解析：　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Doctors practice medicine and ．．．takes to sustain a plant．可知，作者通过提及医生和律师需 要练习说明养护植物也需要反复尝试和学习。由此推知，Detrinidad谈 及医生和律师是为了解释反复努力的重要性。
31. What can be a suitable title for the text？（　　）
A． Time to Replace Houseplants
B． Plants Boost Your Mood
C． Tips on Choosing Houseplants
D． Plants Brighten Your Home
解析：　标题归纳题。文章从一个网店的室内盆栽植物销售火爆 说起，介绍了绿植对人们情绪和思维影响的相关研究，倡导栽培 室内盆栽植物的健康生活。因此B项（植物改善你的情绪）为文章 最佳标题。

Ⅰ．阅读理解

　　（2026 安徽淮南二模）Young mice seemingly attempt to awaken an anaesthetized （被麻醉的） cage mate by cleaning， pawing and even pulling aside the tongue to clear its airway． Li Zhang at the University of Southern California and his colleagues filmed laboratory mice presented with a familiar cage mate that was either active or unconscious． Over several tests， mice devoted about 47 per cent of a 13－minute observation period interacting with their unconscious partner． According to Zhang， “They start with sniffing and then very intensive interaction，” including licking the eyes， biting around the mouth， and pulling out the tongue in more than 50 per cent of cases．
　　In a separate test， researchers placed a plastic ball in the mouth of the unconscious mouse， and in 80 per cent of cases， the helping mice successfully removed the object． Team member Huizhong Tao believes extending the observation period could achieve an even higher success rate． Furthermore， mice that received caregiving woke up and started walking sooner compared to those that were left unattended． Once the unconscious mouse started moving， the caregiving mice reduced and then ceased their assistance．
　　Zhang notes that the observed behaviour is not analogous to cardiopulmonary resuscitation （CPR） which requires specialist training． Instead， it looks like using strong－smelling salts or basic first aid to ensure breathing． Zhang’s team found that these caregiving behaviours are driven by oxytocin （催产素）－releasing cells located in the brain， consistent with oxytocin’s known role in caregiving behaviours across vertebrates （脊椎动物）． Two other research teams have recently reported similar behaviours， supporting the reliability of these findings．
　　Cristina Márquez at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology in Coimbra， acknowledges the findings’ accuracy but cautions against seeing animals act like humans or attributing intentions beyond observed actions． Zhang suggests the behaviour is likely natural， as tested mice were just 2 to 3 months old and had not previously experienced such scenarios． He suggests that this natural caregiving may enhance group unity and could be more widespread among social animals than previously recognised．
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是实验室小鼠对被 麻醉的笼中同伴表现出的救助行为。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是实验室小鼠对被
麻醉的笼中同伴表现出的救助行为。
1. What is the main focus of the first paragraph？（　　）
A． The training of mice to help companions in danger．
B． The behaviours of mice helping unconscious partners．
C． The percentage of mice avoiding interaction in cages．
D． The activity level of mice toward their familiar mates．
解析：　段落大意题。根据第一段第一句可知，第一段的重点是老 鼠帮助无意识同伴的行为。
√
2. When would helping mice stop giving care behaviours according to paragraph 2？（　　）
A． When the research observation time ended．
B． When unconscious mice showed no response．
C． When unconscious mice began moving again．
D． When the plastic ball was successfully removed．
解析：　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，当失去意识的老 鼠又开始动弹时，提供帮助的老鼠便停止了照顾行为。
√
3. What does the underlined word “analogous” in paragraph 3 probably mean？（　　）
A． Similar．
B． Opposite．
C． Unrelated．
D． Beneficial．
√
解析：　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的Instead， it looks like using strong－smelling salts or basic first aid to ensure breathing．可知，观察 到的行为与需要专业培训的心肺复苏术（CPR）不同。故画线词 analogous意为“相似的”。
4. Which is the most suitable title for the text？（　　）
A． Mice and Medicine： Advanced Rescue Skills
B． The Role of Training in Animal Rescue Behaviours
C． Differences Between Wild Mice and Laboratory Mice
D． First Aid by Mice： A Study of Natural Social Behaviour
解析：　标题归纳题。通读全文尤其是根据第一段第一句和最后一 段张的建议可知，本文主要讲的是实验室小鼠对被麻醉的笼中同伴表 现出本能的救助行为。因此，D项最适合作文章标题。

　　（2026 江苏南京模拟）In the Alps and Apennines of southern Europe， longhorn beetles are moving uphill， and a rare brown butterfly with orange－tipped wings is facing extinction due to isolation （隔离） at high peaks． This is a picture of a global trend． With temperatures rising and pressure on biodiversity growing， insects vital to our ecosystems are not only moving north and south， but up．
　　Research shows many animals are making similar moves， but insects’ high levels of mobility and short generation times allow them to respond quickly to change． Bumblebees in the Pyrenees have moved upwards on average by more than a metre a year， with some species making significantly greater journeys． All of this shows the speed of climate change and its ecological impacts at higher altitudes （海拔）．
　　In ecology， finding the “smoking gun” to neatly explain any phenomenon is generally difficult． Prof． Christy McCain， who runs Colorado University’s Mountain Lab， said： “One thing that people don’t think about as much is context： how climate affects insects at different life stages， such as eggs and larvae （幼虫）． Measuring adults in summer might not reveal the most critical impacts of climate change， especially in cold and dry mountain environments．”
　　McCain believes the way data has been collected historically is preventing their understanding， with too many museum specimens （标 本） from low altitudes， and far fewer from higher up． And many groups other than butterflies and moths （飞蛾） have been neglected．
　　To support her view， she cites research on carrion beetles by a student in her lab． The study shows that climate tolerance might be passed down in these impacts， which play a key role in decomposition and protect them from extreme conditions． Their long history since the Cretaceous （白垩纪） also aids their adaptation today．
　　There is no such thing as a standard insect or response to environmental change． For some groups， it might be a case of the bigger and more mobile they are， the better their chances． There is also no universal upland habitat and this too could prove ．

物多样性压力增大，昆虫向高海拔迁移这一全球趋势，分析了研究
中存在的问题，并提及不同昆虫对气候变化的适应情况。
5. Bumblebees in the Pyrenees are mentioned because 　　　　．（　　）
A． they are more mobile than other insects
B． they have adapted well to higher altitudes
C． they are a useful indicator of climate change
D． they face extinction due to upward movement
解析：　推理判断题。根据第二段可知，比利牛斯山脉大黄蜂的 向上迁移是因为它们能反映气候变化的情况，是气候变化的一个 有用指向。
√
6. Which statement may McCain agree with according to paragraphs 3 and 4？（　　）
A． Study context is beyond grasp．
B． Research data are hard to obtain．
C． Insect samples are unrepresentative．
D． Collection method is unconventional．
√
解析：　推理判断题。根据第三段中的One thing that people don’t think about ．．． especially in cold and dry mountain environments．和 第四段可知，麦凯恩认为在夏天测量成虫可能无法揭示气候变化最关 键的影响，且来自低海拔地区的标本太多，所以昆虫样本不能很好地 代表整体情况，缺乏全面性和代表性。
7. Why does McCain cite research on carrion beetles？（　　）
A． To argue for their sensitivity to environmental changes．
B． To call for the protection of insects from higher altitudes．
C． To redirect focus from insects moving uphill to those downhill．
D． To offer new insights into insects’ adaptation to climate change．
解析：　推理判断题。第四段中麦凯恩提出“在昆虫适应气候变化 的相关研究中，除了蝴蝶和飞蛾之外的许多类群都被忽视了”这一观 点，而第五段麦凯恩引用了对埋葬虫的研究来证明自己的观点，即提 供关于昆虫适应气候变化的新领悟。
√
8. What does the underlined phrase “a saving grace” in the last the underlined phrase paragraph mean？（　　）
A． A method used to collect data．
B． A problem that needs to be solved．
C． A feature that helps improve a situation．
D． A type of insect that adapts well to change．
√
解析：　词义猜测题。上文说明昆虫适应环境变化的情况各不相 同，也没有通用的高地栖息地。鉴于昆虫适应环境存在困难的情况 下，this too could prove a saving grace说明这种没有通用高地栖息地的 情况反而可能成为帮助改善昆虫适应环境现状的一个因素。所以“a saving grace”指的是有助于改善现状的一个特征。

　　（2026 山东临沂二模）On the surface， it may not appear that Dr． Dolittle and artificial intelligence （AI） have much in common．
One belongs in 1900s children’s literature， while the other is firmly rooted in the 21st century． One is a physician turned vet （兽医） who can talk to animals， and the other a computerized technology that cannot． But the dream of speaking with animals may not be so fantastical anymore．
　　AI has already given us the ability to bark instructions at robots — could its potential be extended to the animal kingdom？ Could it help us understand the natural world and maybe one day allow us to “talk” to animals？
　　The first difficulty in “translating” animal communication is understanding what that communication looks like． Human language is made up of verbal （口头的） and non－verbal cues， and animal communication is no different． Dogs wag their tails， for example， to convey a range of emotions． However， there is some debate as to whether this can be considered a “language”． According to Dr． Herzing， Research Director， Wild Dolphin Project， AI could help put it to bed．
　　“We currently don’t know if animals have a language，” Herzing said． “But AI can help us look for language－like structures which might suggest animals have parts of a language．”
　　Scientists have been collecting sounds， calls and various animal vocalizations （发声） for decades． Research has shown that animal vocalizations carry many types of information from their identity to external objects． The hope is that AI models being developed can work like what ChatGPT does for human input， and turn those vocalizations into something more recognizable to humans．
　　With a better understanding of the animals around us， can we still justify practices that slaughter （屠宰） them？ This could have far－ reaching influences， including for the treatment of animals in entertainment， research and agriculture． From a human perspective， there is also a lot we could learn， not just about ourselves but about animals and， maybe， other life forms．

√
10. What does “put it to bed” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to？ （　　）
A． Solve the problem．
B． Suspend the research．
C． Continue the discussion．
D． Reconsider the definition．
√
解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段中的However， there is some debate as to whether this can be considered a “language”．可知，it指代前面关于动物交流是否能被视为一种“语言”的争议，此处表示人工智能能帮助解决这个争议。所以画线短语指的是“解决这个争议问题”。
11. What are AI models expected to do？（　　）
A． Interpret human language patterns．
B． Assess the general state of animals．
C． Make animal voices understandable．
D． Record major events in the natural world．
解析：　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，人工智能模型有望让 动物的声音变得能被人类理解。

　　（2026 江苏南京二模）Visit a zoo， and you may love watching polar bears as they swim through a pool． Zoos can be important places for polar bear research.13. 　　 The more we can learn about how global warming is affecting them， the better we can design conservation plans．
　　However， tracking them is tricky due to their wide－range movement． The main type of tracker has been a radio collar， attached like a necklace around the bear’s neck． This device sends location information back to researchers． 14. 　　 It’s not safe to put them on
younger bears — as they grow， the collar may get too tight． And male bears’ heads are narrower than their necks， so the collars slide right off．
　　An international team developed new tracking methods inspired by “burr （芒刺） on fur” idea． The device stuck to the bears’ fur， like burrs on your dog after a walk in the woods． 15. 　　 They found that in the warmer months， the animals hung out on land， moving little and conserving energy． As temperatures dropped， they returned to the ice to hunt．
　　16. 　 　 But it was invaluable to confirm it with reliable data．
Additionally， it’s always a bonus to have one more way to track， understand and hopefully help these impressive white mammals of the north．
　　To aid polar bears further， we must address the root cause：climate change． What can we do then？ Ride your bike to school instead of asking a parent to drive you． Unplug devices when they are charged to conserve energy． Turn off computers and lights when they are not in use． 17. 　　
　
A． Little things can indeed help a lot．
B． But never underestimate the effect of climate change．
C． Unfortunately， the collars only work on adult females．
D． As sea ice declines， polar bears spend more time on shore．
E． The researchers had already suspected this is what they did．
F． The researchers used the design to observe bears along the coast of Hudson Bay．
G． But observing these animals in the wild is the top way to study and protect them．
