阅读 理解 1—4 √ 摩天大厦用冰电池新系统降温节能 2026·黑龙江模拟 人与社会 和物理、化学的结合
　　How do you beat the summer heat If you’re like most people, you turn the air conditioning on when it’s the hottest time of the day. But what if you could use nonpeak(非高峰的) electrical hours and store the cold to use the next day This idea has become a reality for a New York City high-rise that’s being cooled by ice.
Eleven Madison, a skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan, is using cool, frozen ice overnight to cool the building, reported CBS News. Four stories below ground, an ice battery system freezes water during the night, when electrical use is low, and uses this ice to cool the building during the day. “There’s about 500, 000 pounds of ice created every night, ” said Holly Paeper, president of a company that did the installation(装置).
Air conditioning uses nearly 20% of energy use in homes and businesses globally. However, on extremely hot days, that number can jump to 70%. Installations like the one in Eleven Madison help to lower that. According to Paeper, the company has installed the technology in about 4, 000 sites worldwide.
The system in the basement of Eleven Madison uses 100 tanks that are each the size of a parking spot. Because there’s a lot of energy consumed in freezing water, a more effective way had to be found. “We take water, and add some other elements in it, ” explained Dr. Patrick Shamberger, an associate professor at Texas A&M. “So we can take control of that temperature basically anywhere we want it, in the zero to 20℃ range. ”
While ice batteries aren’t being used to cool food or to power electrical devices, they’re being used to cool buildings. For now, combining ice batteries with other types of energy storage from renewables can help the power grid(电网) to keep up in hot weather as well as lower the cost of electricity. It’s a win-win for all.

More than 50% Americans Expect Worsening U. S. Economy, WSJ Poll Finds
美民调:超50%的美国人认为美国经济会更糟
　　A majority of voters think the economy will be in worse shape in the future than it is now and roughly two-thirds say the nation’s economic path is headed in the wrong direction, the latest Wall Street Journal poll(民意测验) shows. 　　The survey, conducted Dec. 3—7, suggests a recent burst of positive economic news—moderating gas prices and a slowing pace of inflation—haven’t altered the way many feel about the risk of a recession(经济衰退), something many economists have forecast as likely. 　　“I just think we are headed toward a recession and it could be a pretty big one, ” said Republican poll participant David Rennie. “Interest rates are skyrocketing and that’s going to take us down. ” 　　The Federal Reserve approved an interest-rate increase of 0. 5 percentage point and signaled plans to keep raising rates at its next few meetings to combat high inflation. The move reflected some moderation after four consecutive increases of 0. 75 point. 　　Economic pessimism is the strongest among Republicans, with 83% expecting the economy to worsen. Slightly more than half of independents feel that way, while 22% of Democrats do. 　　“Our economic diagnostics have become partisan, ” said Democratic pollster John Anzalone. “If there was a Republican president, we might see the reverse. ” 　　Younger voters are more pessimistic about the economy’s prospects next year than older voters. Roughly 6 in 10 of those aged 18—34 expect it to be worse over the next year, while 42% of those 65 and older feel that way. 　　Democratic poll participant Kendra Lewis, a 38-year-old business consultant and entrepreneur in Fayetteville, said she is already seeing some of the small-business people she works with act as if they are in a recession. 　　“I’ve seen a drastic contraction in what people are willing to spend, ” Ms Lewis said. Even if inflation slows, Ms Lewis said she expects it will take some time to “undo some of the trauma” people have experienced this past year. —https://www. wsj. com (同源高考:2023年全国甲卷B篇阅读选自本网站)

Ⅳ. 单元话题写作|人与社会
In a small town, there was a school known for its vibrant community and supportive atmosphere. Among the students was a young boy named Alex. Alex had always been curious and eager to learn, but there was one subject that gave him endless trouble: mathematics.
From the very beginning, Alex struggled with numbers. While his classmates seemed to grasp concepts easily, Alex found himself lost in a sea of equations and formulas. Every math class felt like a battle, and his confidence began to wane(减弱). He would sit in his seat, staring at the problems on the board, feeling a growing sense of frustration and inadequacy.
One day, after a particularly difficult test, Alex felt defeated. He sat at his desk, staring at the paper covered in red marks. His teacher, Mrs Thompson, noticed his dejected(沮丧的) expression and approached him gently. “Alex, ” she said softly, “I know math can be tough, but I believe in you. Let’s figure this out together. ”
Mrs Thompson’s words struck a chord in Alex. He had always admired her patience and kindness, and her belief in him gave him a glimmer of hope. She suggested that they start with the basics and build from there. After school, they would stay behind for extra tutoring sessions. Mrs Thompson explained concepts slowly and clearly, using real-life examples to make the abstract ideas more tangible.
During these sessions, Alex began to see progress. He started to understand the logic behind the numbers and how they fit together. But it wasn’t just Mrs Thompson who helped him. His classmates also noticed his struggles and offered their support. Sarah, who excelled in math, would often sit with Alex during lunch breaks, going over problems and sharing tips. She had a knack for explaining things in a way that made sense to him.
As the weeks passed, Alex’s confidence grew. He began to tackle problems that once seemed impossible. He still had moments of doubt, but he no longer felt alone. The support from his teacher and classmates gave him the courage to keep pushing forward.

More than 50% Americans Expect Worsening U. S. Economy, WSJ Poll Finds
美民调:超50%的美国人认为美国经济会更糟
　　A majority of voters think the economy will be in worse shape in the future than it is now and roughly two-thirds say the nation’s economic path is headed in the wrong direction, the latest Wall Street Journal poll(民意测验) shows.
　　The survey, conducted Dec. 3—7, suggests a recent burst of positive economic news—moderating gas prices and a slowing pace of inflation—haven’t altered the way many feel about the risk of a recession(经济衰退), something many economists have forecast as likely.
　　“I just think we are headed toward a recession and it could be a pretty big one, ” said Republican poll participant David Rennie. “Interest rates are skyrocketing and that’s going to take us down. ”
　　The Federal Reserve approved an interest-rate increase of 0. 5 percentage point and signaled plans to keep raising rates at its next few meetings to combat high inflation. The move reflected some moderation after four consecutive increases of 0. 75 point.
　　Economic pessimism is the strongest among Republicans, with 83% expecting the economy to worsen. Slightly more than half of independents feel that way, while 22% of Democrats do.
　　“Our economic diagnostics have become partisan, ” said Democratic pollster John Anzalone. “If there was a Republican president, we might see the reverse. ”
　　Younger voters are more pessimistic about the economy’s prospects next year than older voters. Roughly 6 in 10 of those aged 18—34 expect it to be worse over the next year, while 42% of those 65 and older feel that way.
　　Democratic poll participant Kendra Lewis, a 38-year-old business consultant and entrepreneur in Fayetteville, said she is already seeing some of the small-business people she works with act as if they are in a recession.
　　“I’ve seen a drastic contraction in what people are willing to spend, ” Ms Lewis said. Even if inflation slows, Ms Lewis said she expects it will take some time to “undo some of the trauma” people have experienced this past year.

　　How do you beat the summer heat If you’re like most people, you turn the air conditioning on when it’s the hottest time of the day. But what if you could use nonpeak(非高峰的) electrical hours and store the cold to use the next day This idea has become a reality for a New York City high-rise that’s being cooled by ice.
　　Eleven Madison, a skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan, is using cool, frozen ice overnight to cool the building, reported CBS News. Four stories below ground, an ice battery system freezes water during the night, when electrical use is low, and uses this ice to cool the building during the day. “There’s about 500, 000 pounds of ice created every night, ” said Holly Paeper, president of a company that did the installation(装置).
　　Air conditioning uses nearly 20% of energy use in homes and businesses globally. However, on extremely hot days, that number can jump to 70%. Installations like the one in Eleven Madison help to lower that. According to Paeper, the company has installed the technology in about 4, 000 sites worldwide.
　　The system in the basement of Eleven Madison uses 100 tanks that are each the size of a parking spot. Because there’s a lot of energy consumed in freezing water, a more effective way had to be found. “We take water, and add some other elements in it, ” explained Dr. Patrick Shamberger, an associate professor at Texas A&M. “So we can take control of that temperature basically anywhere we want it, in the zero to 20℃ range. ”
　　While ice batteries aren’t being used to cool food or to power electrical devices, they’re being used to cool buildings. For now, combining ice batteries with other types of energy storage from renewables can help the power grid(电网) to keep up in hot weather as well as lower the cost of electricity. It’s a win-win for all.
