Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
[2026·济南模拟] When Jack Dawson was just 2 year old, it became obvious that he dreamed about becoming a paramedic, an emergency caregiver. His grandfather owns a first response company in Staffordshire, England, and Jack would ride along in his ambulances with the flashing blue lights. By age three, he would start “randomly performing CPR on his toy bear, pressing its chest”, said his mother, Danielle. “My husband and I decided to teach him first aid. He loves it.” Jack quickly grasped the act of CPR, understanding the different recovery positions, and learned how to use a defibrillator, a machine that starts the heart beating again after a heart attack.
Then, at age seven, overseen by his father and other trainers, the youngster started to lead workshop sessions of his own for their charity, Tamworth Have A Heart, which aims to make Automated External Defibrillators(AED) publicly accessible and train people to use them confidently. Jack teaches both children and adults how to perform CPR and use defibrillators, while also keeping an eye on his town center and checking that the public defibrillators' pads and batteries are up to date and fit for use.
The sessions often draw 20 to 40 people and sometimes Jack gives presentations in front of 100 people. He does step by step demonstrations on how to perform CPR, informing people about the dangers—including looking into patients' airways before pressing.
“He absolutely loves teaching,” Danielle said. “I've never seen him so confident before and the fact that he's helping people to save a life determines him even more. I think people appreciate the information coming from a child, as it makes them think that if a 10 year old can do it, then they can.”
Under the name “Mini Medic”, Jack has a page on social media posting training nights for those unable to attend. As a result of his community work, the 10 year old is a finalist for Children of Courage Birmingham Awards. Looking forward, Danielle said he was enthusiastic about going to university and being a paramedic.

[2026·厦门模拟] A tragic case of Kitty Genovese, who was killed, happened in New York in 1964. However, subsequent investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene. This has been termed the “bystander effect”—a well known psychological phenomenon where individuals are less likely to offer help to someone when other people are present. The more people there are, the less likely they are to help.
None of us like to think we'd walk on by when someone needed our help. But sometimes we behave in ways we wouldn't expect when faced with a situation we are unsure about. While we might like to think we would rush to someone's assistance, we know from studies that often people hang back. Research from the British Heart Foundation has suggested that a third of people would not give first aid if they saw someone collapse on the street, with some even admitting they wouldn't call an ambulance.
There are various factors contributing to this effect—people think that others will get involved. Afterward people often say they did not feel qualified or important enough to be the one to intervene. It is also partly down to “pluralistic ignorance”—since everyone is not reacting to the emergency, they don't need to, either; it's not serious because no one else is doing anything.
Other studies have shown that once people are aware of the bystander effect, they are less likely to be affected by it. Self awareness is the best solution to it. When facing an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own. Ignore everyone else and go with your gut(直觉)—if you'd run for help, do it. If that's how you would have behaved when you were on your own, then that's probably the right course of action. The worst that can happen is that you'll look a little foolish at having overreacted. You might also save someone's life.
(　 　)5.What is the author's purpose in telling us about the case of Genovese
A.To show the high frequency of killing.
B.To highlight the indifference of bystanders.
C.To introduce the topic of the passage.
D.To lead to the investigations.
(　 　)6.What can we know from Paragraph 2
A.No one would like to admit the truth.
B.People tend to help when no people are present.
C.Few people will encounter uncertain situations.
D.Many people will not rush to help in an emergency.
(　 　)7.What's Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The consequences of the phenomenon.
B.The reactions to different accidents.
C.The seriousness of an emergency.
D.The reasons for not helping.
(　 　)8.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.Don't Be a Bystander
B.Life Saving Response
C.The Importance of First Aid
D.Reactions in an Emergency

Ⅰ.阅读理解
When Mark Twain visited Florence in 1867, he dutifully visited the city's museums, churches, and tombs. But as he stood by the Arno, he began to sense the Italians' insistence that it was a river, not a stream. “They all call it a river, and they honestly think it is a river. These dark and bloody Florentines do think so,” he complained. “I might enter Florence under happier circumstances a month hence and find it all beautiful, all attractive. But I do not care to think of it now, at all.”
It's normal to feel uncomfortable outside your home culture. Feelings of discomfort, dislocation, and overload among travelers are referred to by many as “culture shock”. But Susan Goldstein, a professor at the University of Redlands, says, “Though the term has existed for many years, ‘culture shock’ implies a dramatic, unexpected, negative event. Though many travelers will experience such challenges, a real sense of ‘shock’ is untypical. So untypical that many researchers no longer use the term.”
It was the vivid description of culture shock by Canadian researcher Oberg, written in 1960 in response to his own multicultural experiences, that won over audiences. The researcher spoke of the adjustment process as “an occupational disease of people who have suddenly been transplanted abroad”—a “disease” that progressed from a honeymoon phase, through rejecting the new environment, to finally adjusting fully to it. By the 1970s, many researchers adopted the idea that, like physical illnesses, culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages.
Modern research, however, suggests that the experiences of adaptation are individual, not universal. “People will have their ups and downs, but for the most part, they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over time,” says Goldstein. And while many connect the causes of culture shock to the host culture itself, an individual's internal expectations and differences are just as important.
As for Mark Twain, the moody author was able to ride out his feelings of upset and dislocation while traveling. He eventually finished his European tour—and in his bestselling travel memoir The Innocents Abroad, famously remarked that travel is “fatal to prejudice and narrow mindedness”. With the right attitude—and the willingness to seek help if you need it—it's more than likely that you, too, can adapt and grow in new settings, building new memories—and toughness—with each new stamp in your passport.
(　 　)1.How did Mark Twain feel about Italians' insistence
A.Annoyed.　　　　　B.Calm.
C.Uninterested. D.Curious.
(　 　)2.What can be inferred about culture shock
A.It would lead to physical diseases.
B.It was regarded as an avoidable thing.
C.It was named for people's adjustment.
D.It had gained wide acceptance by the 1970s.
(　 　)3.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A.Suggestions about culture shock.
B.A change in understanding culture shock.
C.Stress of the importance of culture shock.
D.A criticism of previous idea of culture shock.
(　 　)4.Why is Mark Twain mentioned in the last paragraph
A.To remember him.
B.To inform readers of the importance of traveling.
C.To conclude and encourage readers to have the right attitude.
D.To make the ending humorous.

[2026·保定模拟] In this globalized era, it has become more and more common to work, live, befriend, and even create families with people of diverse backgrounds.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
On the rocky beach, Shiwak butchers the seal with precision, turning the water red as a crow flies overhead. As a boy, he learned to hunt and fish from his father and grandfather, who had learned from their elders. It is also how Shiwak learned the core Inuit(因纽特人的) values of taking only what is needed, sharing, sustainability and respect for nature—values he is passing down to his children.
Shiwak has hunted for years in the waters of Lake Melville, close to the Inuit community of Rigolet in Nunatsiavut, an autonomous area in Canada. But while traditional knowledge has allowed Inuit to survive in this severe environment for a long time, the climatic conditions are changing quickly. Since 1950, Nunatsiavut has lost 40 days of ground snow a year. Its sea ice is disappearing faster than anywhere in the Canadian Arctic. By November, the shoreline would usually be covered in ice, and people would be putting away their boats and dusting off their snowmobiles. In his lifetime, Shiwak has witnessed the winters becoming warmer, wetter, and shorter.
There is very little local people can do about that: although the region is roughly the size of the Republic of Ireland, Nunatsiavut's population is less than 3,000, spread among five small towns. What they can do, however, is working to protect what they have. That's why Nunatsiavut is partnering the Canadian government to co develop the world's first Inuit protected area. Built on Inuit values and culture, this new type of conservation area would allow local people to continue traditional practices of hunting and fishing.
“Just that we're small doesn't mean we can't do anything,” says James Goudie, deputy minister of lands and natural resources in the Nunatsiavut government. “We can show the world that a small region can protect a massive amount of biodiversity.” The Inuit protected area would only cover about a third of Nunatsiavut's offshore waters, but the region is home to important populations of fish, the breeding grounds for many migratory birds, and the habitat of Arctic marine mammals.
(　D　)1.How do Inuit people learn their core values
A.By enhancing their hunting skills.
B.By receiving general school education.
C.By appreciating the gifts of nature.
D.By passing them down from generation to generation.
(　B　)2.What makes it more difficult for the Inuit to survive
A.Their small population.
B.Climate change.
C.Their conventional knowledge.
D.The overuse of resources.
(　D　)3.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A.The Inuit knowledge of surviving is disappearing.
B.The number of Canadian Inuit has dramatically increased.
C.The region is too large in comparison with the Republic of Ireland.
D.The new protected area will help maintain the traditional Inuit way of life.
(　C　)4.Which of the following can be supported by the text
A.The Inuit take an unsustainable way of life.
B.The population of Canadian Inuit is more than that of the Republic of Ireland.
C.Nunatsiavut plans to create a conservation area for the Inuit.
D.Nunatsiavut contributes a lot to the diverse culture in Canada.
【文本大意】文章介绍了加拿大的Nunatsiavut地区将和政府合作建立一个因纽特人保护区的相关情况。
1.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It is also how Shiwak learned the core Inuit(因纽特人的) values of taking only what is needed, sharing, sustainability and respect for nature—values he is passing down to his children.(Shiwak也是通过这种方式学会了因纽特人的核心价值观,即只索取需要的东西、分享、可持续发展和尊重自然——他将这些价值观传给了自己的孩子。)”可知,因纽特人的核心价值观是通过一代一代的人传下来的。故选D。
2.B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But while traditional knowledge has allowed Inuit to survive in this severe environment for a long time, the climatic conditions are changing quickly.(但是虽然传统知识使因纽特人在这种恶劣的环境中生存了很长时间,但气候条件正在迅速变化。)”可推知,气候变化使因纽特人的生存环境更恶劣。故选B。
3.D　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Built on Inuit values and culture, this new type of conservation area would allow local people to continue traditional practices of hunting and fishing.(建立在因纽特人的价值观和文化的基础上,这种新型保护区将允许当地人继续传统的狩猎和捕鱼活动。)”可知,新的因纽特人保护区将有助于保持传统的因纽特人的生活方式。故选D。
4.C　推理判断题。文章主要介绍了加拿大 Nunatsiavut地区的因纽特人面临的生存困境,当地政府正在和加拿大联邦政府合作建立一个因纽特人保护区。故选C。

[2026·徐州模拟] Most of us have a map of the world in our mind that we use anytime we think about places. 1.　B　 In fact, many of the maps in our heads share the same errors, some of which are quite large and surprisingly resistant to correction.
For example, we all believe that South America is just south of North America, of course. But you may be surprised by the fact that virtually the entire South American continent is east of Florida. There are lots of possible reasons for geographical misconceptions like this one, says cartographer(地图绘制员) John Nelson. 2.　E　 After all, it's not called Southeast America.
Europe is also often placed much farther south on mental maps than it really is. But it actually lines up better with Canada. 3.　C　 Western Europe is relatively warm for its latitude(纬度) thanks to the Gulf Stream which brings warmer water from the Gulf of Mexico across the Atlantic. The warmer temperatures are more similar to the climate of the lower 48 states than Canada's.
4.　A　 We also have misconceptions about the relative size of things. This may be due in part to the nature of 2 D maps. Flattening a 3 D globe onto a flat surface isn't possible without some distortion(变形). This is especially obvious for maps that use certain projections.
Mercator maps distort the shape and relative size of continents, particularly near the poles. This is why Greenland appears to be similar in size to all of South America on Mercator maps. 5.　D　
A.Locations aren't the only way our mental maps can be wrong.
B.But these mental maps aren't necessarily dependable.
C.Nelson says that climate might play a role in this misunderstanding.
D.In fact, South America is more than eight times larger than Greenland.
E.He believes the misplaced Americas may be partly a result of their names.
F.However, our physical experience of the world may come into play as well.
G.None of these geographic misconceptions would be surprising for a student.
【文本大意】文章主要说明了人们对于世界地图存在误解,解释了这些误解产生的原因。
1.B　根据上文“Most of us have a map of the world in our mind that we use anytime we think about places.(我们大多数人在脑海中都有一幅世界地图,每当我们想到某个地方时,都会用到它。)”以及下文“In fact, many of the maps in our heads share the same errors, some of which are quite large and surprisingly resistant to correction.(事实上,我们脑海中的许多地图都存在相同的错误,其中一些错误相当严重,而且出人意料地难以纠正。)”可知,空处与上文构成转折关系,指出我们脑海中的地图并不可靠,存在错误。B项“但是这些头脑中的地图不一定是可靠的。”符合语境。故选B。
2.E　根据上文“For example, we all believe that... says cartographer(地图绘制员) John Nelson.(例如,我们都认为南美洲当然就在北美洲的南面。但你可能会感到惊讶的是,几乎整个南美大陆都在佛罗里达州以东。地图绘制员John Nelson说,造成这种地理上的误解有很多可能的原因。)”以及下文“After all, it's not called Southeast America.(毕竟它不叫东南美洲。)”可知,空处承接上文地图绘制员John Nelson解释这种错误的原因。E项“他认为美洲(在人们头脑中)放错位置的部分原因可能是因为它们的名字。”符合语境,且呼应空后的内容“毕竟它没被称为东南美洲”,因为它被称为南美洲,所以人们大都认为它位于北美洲的南部。故选E。
3.C　根据上文“Europe is also often placed much farther south on mental maps than it really is. But it actually lines up better with Canada.(在人们的头脑中的地图上,欧洲往往被置于比实际位置更靠南的位置。但它实际上更与加拿大对齐。)”以及下文“Western Europe is relatively warm... 48 states than Canada's.(由于墨西哥湾暖流将墨西哥湾的温暖海水带过大西洋,西欧在其纬度上相对温暖。比起加拿大,温暖的气温更接近美国本土48个州的气候。)”可知,下文主要是从气候的角度解释了人们认为“欧洲往往被置于比实际位置更靠南的位置”的原因,因此C项“Nelson说,气候可能在这种误解中发挥了作用。”符合语境。故选C。
4.A　根据下文“We also have misconceptions... use certain projections.(我们对事物的相对大小也有误解。这可能部分是由于2 D地图的性质。将3 D球体平铺到平面上是不可能不产生一定变形的。这对于使用特定投影方式的地图来说尤其明显。)”可知,下文解释了另一种人们头脑中的地图出错的原因是我们对事物的相对大小有误解。A项“位置并不是我们头脑中的地图出错的唯一原因。”符合语境。故选A。
5.D　根据上文“Mercator maps distort the shape and relative size of continents, particularly near the poles. This is why Greenland appears to be similar in size to all of South America on Mercator maps.(墨卡托地图扭曲了大陆的形状和相对大小,尤其是靠近两极的地区。这就是为什么在墨卡托地图上,格陵兰岛看起来和整个南美洲的大小相似。)”可知,D项“事实上,南美洲比格陵兰岛大八倍多。”承接上文,符合语境。故选D。

[2026·福州模拟] About a decade ago, Fuchsia Dunlop attended a banquet(宴会) in Guangzhou. The most memorable dish, however, was the plain white cup of soup served at the end. Made from chicken, it was simple, clean and perfect. It seem odd to Westerners, but, as Ms Dunlop, an English food writer, explains in a new book, stock(家畜) is a unique expression of a chef's art. And the clean, “almost invisible soup” is an ideal conclusion to a banquet, with its rich and strong flavors.
Invitation to a Banquet is Ms Dunlop's seventh book where, unlike a traditional cookbook, she has chosen 30 dishes to illustrate different aspects of Chinese cuisine—and, in turn, Chinese life and history. Like other outsiders who focus on a foreign cuisine, she is more a gatherer than an inventor of recipes. Her well researched cookbooks read as mini ethnography(民族志).
Readers will not learn how to make traditional Chinese cuisines but how and why Chinese chefs have long prized unusual(and to Westerners, sometimes unappealing) ingredients. A seemingly humble yet labor intensive dish of braised carp(鲤鱼) tail serves as a starting point for exploring the significance of kougan, or mouthfeel, in Chinese cuisine. Westerners, Ms Dunlop argues, “have traditionally assumed that the Chinese eat less desirable animal parts out of poverty”, when in fact they shut the door on various foods that are wonderfully cui (“slippery and crunchy, often in a wet way”).
Altogether, Ms Dunlop makes a persuasive argument for the superiority of Chinese cuisine, highlighting its strengths in a joyful manner rather than a boastful one. She shows how it has embraced foreign influences, how it has changed with China's increasing wealth and how central it is to the country's cultural history.
She makes an equally persuasive argument that what Westerners think of as “Chinese food”, commonly found at their local takeaway, is neither inauthentic nor wrong. Instead, it is an adaptation shaped by Chinese communities living abroad and as representative of the cuisine's diversity as a frozen pizza is of Italy's. Immigration has made the authentic flavors more accessible than ever outside China. Eaters should learn to appreciate that.
(　 　)1.Why might the plain chicken soup seem odd to Westerners
A.It is placed in a white cup.
B.It is served at the end of the meal.
C.It is made of unusual ingredients.
D.It is enriched with complex flavors.
(　 　)2.How does Invitation to a Banquet differ from traditional cookbooks
A.It keeps track of foreign recipes.
B.It explores aspects beyond recipes.
C.It is intended for cuisine research.
D.It teaches how to make Chinese cuisines.
(　 　)3.What can be inferred from the mentioning of “Westerners” in Para.3
A.They view Chinese cuisine as pricey.
B.They hesitate to try new ingredients.
C.They like Chinese cuisine's diversity.
D.They often misinterpret Chinese cuisine.
(　 　)4.What does Ms Dunlop think of Chinese cuisine
A.Inclusive and dynamic.
B.Inflexible and adapted.
C.Simple and overvalued.
D.Beautiful and boastful.

[2026·黄山模拟] First they came for the eggs. Then the feta cheese, cottage cheese and cucumbers. In some countries, these ingredients were even out of stock: Iceland experienced a shortage of cucumbers, and feta briefly disappeared from grocery store shelves. The reason for the mass purchases Enthusiasts of online cooking were eager to recreate viral videos in which each of these ingredients starred.
Few topics are as appetizing to netizens as cooking, especially over the holidays. Food is the fourth most popular subject on the Internet, up from the 17th place in 2009, according to GWI, a consumer research firm.
The abundance of online food contents not only causes occasional ingredient shortages when a video goes viral. It is also making cooking more gregarious. In eating broadcast videos, streamers can pig out food in front of a camera and field live comments from viewers and give instant feedback. The Internet has brought people without notable restaurants or cookbooks to chef stardom. For example, around 21 million people subscribe to the videos of Nick DiGiovanni, a Harvard educated food personality, about the same number as subscribe to that of Gordon Ramsay, a famous British chef.
The fact that social media have caused interest in food to rise as fast as home baked bread should not come as a surprise. Everyone has to eat, and cooking is a common hobby. Video is also an efficient medium for instruction—more precise, in many ways, than the written word. Americans who recently cooked turkeys for Thanksgiving can testify that “golden brown” to one cook may look underdone to another and even burnt to a third.
Successful online food personalities “recognize and make a real effort to meet the specific needs of their viewers”, explains Madeline Buxton, a culture and trends manager of a social media platform. Some viewers want to be entertained; others want to learn, travel or eat vicariously(感同身受地) through people more adventurous than they are. Online chefs and food boosters sell a lifestyle: You are what you eat, how you eat and what you watch about eating.
(　 　)5.What caused some ingredients to be sold out in Iceland
A.The delicacy of those ingredients.
B.The modest price of those ingredients.
C.The inadequacy of online food contents.
D.Food lovers' rush to remake online videos.
(　 　)6.What does the underlined word “gregarious” in Para. 3 mean
A.Creative.　　　　　B.Social.
C.Convenient. D.Famous.
(　 　)7.Why does the author mention Thanksgiving turkey cooking
A.To illustrate tastes differ in turkey cooking.
B.To turn cooking into a widespread pastime.
C.To show videos deliver clearer instructions.
D.To suggest a preferred way of turkey cooking.
(　 　)8.What is Buxton's opinion about successful online food contents
A.They should be entertaining and instructive.
B.They should be adventurous and healthy.
C.They should be tailored to different needs.
D.They should be devoted to a balanced lifestyle.

[2026·济南模拟] When Jack Dawson was just 2 year old, it became obvious that he dreamed about becoming a paramedic, an emergency caregiver. His grandfather owns a first response company in Staffordshire, England, and Jack would ride along in his ambulances with the flashing blue lights. By age three, he would start “randomly performing CPR on his toy bear, pressing its chest”, said his mother, Danielle. “My husband and I decided to teach him first aid. He loves it.” Jack quickly grasped the act of CPR, understanding the different recovery positions, and learned how to use a defibrillator, a machine that starts the heart beating again after a heart attack.
Then, at age seven, overseen by his father and other trainers, the youngster started to lead workshop sessions of his own for their charity, Tamworth Have A Heart, which aims to make Automated External Defibrillators(AED) publicly accessible and train people to use them confidently. Jack teaches both children and adults how to perform CPR and use defibrillators, while also keeping an eye on his town center and checking that the public defibrillators' pads and batteries are up to date and fit for use.
The sessions often draw 20 to 40 people and sometimes Jack gives presentations in front of 100 people. He does step by step demonstrations on how to perform CPR, informing people about the dangers—including looking into patients' airways before pressing.
“He absolutely loves teaching,” Danielle said. “I've never seen him so confident before and the fact that he's helping people to save a life determines him even more. I think people appreciate the information coming from a child, as it makes them think that if a 10 year old can do it, then they can.”
Under the name “Mini Medic”, Jack has a page on social media posting training nights for those unable to attend. As a result of his community work, the 10 year old is a finalist for Children of Courage Birmingham Awards. Looking forward, Danielle said he was enthusiastic about going to university and being a paramedic.
(　A　)1.What made Jack interested in becoming a paramedic
A.His family influence.
B.His childhood games.
C.His parents' teaching.
D.His love for ambulances.
(　C　)2.What is the purpose of Tamworth Have A Heart
A.To train children to be caregivers.
B.To enhance downtown volunteering.
C.To promote the wide use of a device.
D.To make lifesaving devices affordable.
(　D　)3.What can we infer from Danielle's words in Paragraph 4
A.Adults tend to learn more from children.
B.Children make better first aid instructors.
C.Jack has too much confidence in teaching.
D.Jack's course inspires adults' engagement.
(　C　)4.Which of the following can best describe Jack Dawson
A.Cautious and manful.

【文本大意】文章讲述了杰克·道森从小受祖父影响,梦想成为一名护理人员,并在家人和培训师的指导下学习急救知识,还为慈善机构开设急救课程,通过社交媒体分享培训信息,并因此成为“伯明翰儿童勇气奖”的决赛选手的故事。
1.A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“His grandfather owns a first response company in Staffordshire, England, and Jack would ride along in his ambulances with the flashing blue lights.(他的祖父在英国斯塔福德郡拥有一家急救公司,杰克会乘坐他的救护车一路同行,车上有闪烁的蓝色灯光。)”可知,杰克从小就受到祖父的影响,对急救工作产生了兴趣。故选A。
2.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Tamworth Have A Heart, which aims to make Automated External Defibrillators(AED) publicly accessible and train people to use them confidently.[Tamworth Have A Heart旨在让自动体外除颤器(AED)能够被公众使用,并培训人们自信地使用它们。]”可知,Tamworth Have A Heart的目的是推广自动体外除颤器的广泛使用。故选C。
3.D　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I've never seen him... then they can.(我从未见过他如此自信,而他帮助人们挽救生命这一事实更坚定了他的决心。我认为人们会欣赏来自孩子的信息,因为这会让他们觉得,如果一个10岁的孩子都能做到,那么他们自己也能做到。)”可知,丹妮尔认为杰克的课程激发了成年人的参与。故选D。
4.C　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“‘My husband and I decided to teach him first aid... after a heart attack.(‘我丈夫和我决定教他急救知识。他很喜欢。’杰克很快掌握了心肺复苏,理解了不同的复苏体位,并学会了如何使用除颤器,一种在心脏病发作后帮助心脏重新跳动的机器。)”、第二段中的“Then, at age seven, overseen by his father and other trainers, the youngster started to lead workshop sessions of his own for their charity(然后,在他七岁的时候,在他父亲和其他教练的指导下,这个孩子开始为他们的慈善机构主持自己的研讨会)”以及“Jack teaches both children and adults... fit for use.(杰克教孩子和成人如何进行心肺复苏和使用除颤器,同时也密切关注他的镇中心,检查公共除颤器的电极片和电池是否及时更新、能否正常使用。)”可知,杰克从小就对急救感兴趣,积极学习急救知识,并主动开展急救培训,帮助人们掌握急救技能,这体现了他对急救事业的热情;同时,他还关注公共除颤器的状况,确保其能正常使用,以在紧急情况下挽救生命,这体现了他对他人生命的关心,即体贴的,所以C项“热情且体贴的”最能描述杰克·道森。故选C。

[2026·厦门模拟] A tragic case of Kitty Genovese, who was killed, happened in New York in 1964. However, subsequent investigations concluded that several people saw or heard what was happening, but did nothing to intervene. This has been termed the “bystander effect”—a well known psychological phenomenon where individuals are less likely to offer help to someone when other people are present. The more people there are, the less likely they are to help.
None of us like to think we'd walk on by when someone needed our help. But sometimes we behave in ways we wouldn't expect when faced with a situation we are unsure about. While we might like to think we would rush to someone's assistance, we know from studies that often people hang back. Research from the British Heart Foundation has suggested that a third of people would not give first aid if they saw someone collapse on the street, with some even admitting they wouldn't call an ambulance.
There are various factors contributing to this effect—people think that others will get involved. Afterward people often say they did not feel qualified or important enough to be the one to intervene. It is also partly down to “pluralistic ignorance”—since everyone is not reacting to the emergency, they don't need to, either; it's not serious because no one else is doing anything.
Other studies have shown that once people are aware of the bystander effect, they are less likely to be affected by it. Self awareness is the best solution to it. When facing an emergency, think to yourself how you would behave if you were on your own. Ignore everyone else and go with your gut(直觉)—if you'd run for help, do it. If that's how you would have behaved when you were on your own, then that's probably the right course of action. The worst that can happen is that you'll look a little foolish at having overreacted. You might also save someone's life.
(　C　)5.What is the author's purpose in telling us about the case of Genovese
A.To show the high frequency of killing.
B.To highlight the indifference of bystanders.
C.To introduce the topic of the passage.
D.To lead to the investigations.
(　D　)6.What can we know from Paragraph 2
A.No one would like to admit the truth.
B.People tend to help when no people are present.
C.Few people will encounter uncertain situations.
D.Many people will not rush to help in an emergency.
(　D　)7.What's Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The consequences of the phenomenon.
B.The reactions to different accidents.
C.The seriousness of an emergency.
D.The reasons for not helping.
(　A　)8.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A.Don't Be a Bystander
B.Life Saving Response
C.The Importance of First Aid
D.Reactions in an Emergency
【文本大意】本文主要介绍了“旁观者效应”及其原因,最后指出面对紧急情况,应该跟随自己的直觉去提供帮助。
5.C　推理判断题。根据第一段的内容以及下文对“旁观者效应”展开介绍可知,作者由Kitty Genovese的案件引出本文的话题“旁观者效应”。故选C。
6.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“While we might like to think we would rush to... wouldn't call an ambulance.(虽然我们可能会认为我们会冲过去给予别人帮助,但我们从研究中得知,人们往往会退缩。英国心脏基金会的研究表明,三分之一的人如果看到有人晕倒在街上,他们不会进行急救,有些人甚至承认他们不会叫救护车。)”可知,在紧急情况下,许多人不会冲上前提供帮助。故选D。
7.D　主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“There are various factors contributing to this effect(造成这种影响的因素有很多)”以及“It is also partly down to ‘pluralistic ignorance’(部分原因还在于‘人众无知’)”可知,本段主要解释了人们不提供帮助的原因。故选D。
8.A　主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其根据最后一段中的“Ignore everyone else and go with your gut(直觉)—if you'd run for help, do it.(不要理会其他人,跟随你的直觉——如果你想提供帮助,那就去做。)”可知,本文主要介绍了“旁观者效应”及其原因,最后指出面对紧急情况,应该跟随自己的直觉去提供帮助,而不是做一个旁观者,因此,A项“不要成为一个旁观者”为本文的最佳标题。故选A。

Aboard a train heading to Colorado for vacation, company 1.　founder　(found) Robert Wood Johnson struck up a conversation 2.　with　 a doctor. The doctor explained to him the 3.　dangers　(danger) of railroad construction and the lack of medical supplies 4.　to treat　(treat) the unique industrial injuries that often occurred far away from hospital. From this exchange, Johnson saw 5.　an　 opportunity to both advance the field of healthcare and build 6.　his　(he) young business. He grabbed the chance and the commercial First Aid Kit was born.
However, Johnson's scientific director knew that the kits were not enough. They desperately needed to include explanation and training. Since its founding, the company had prided itself on 7.　educating　(educate) the public, especially the elderly, and spreading methods of wound care. In 1901, the nation's first 8.　commercially　(commercial) available guide to first aid, The Handbook of First Aid, 9.　was published　(publish). The guide reached beyond the railroad and medical industries, teaching people about basic emergency care, and showing readers 10.　how　 to save lives with their first aid skills.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
[2026·福州模拟] About a decade ago, Fuchsia Dunlop attended a banquet(宴会) in Guangzhou. The most memorable dish, however, was the plain white cup of soup served at the end. Made from chicken, it was simple, clean and perfect. It seem odd to Westerners, but, as Ms Dunlop, an English food writer, explains in a new book, stock(家畜) is a unique expression of a chef's art. And the clean, “almost invisible soup” is an ideal conclusion to a banquet, with its rich and strong flavors.
Invitation to a Banquet is Ms Dunlop's seventh book where, unlike a traditional cookbook, she has chosen 30 dishes to illustrate different aspects of Chinese cuisine—and, in turn, Chinese life and history. Like other outsiders who focus on a foreign cuisine, she is more a gatherer than an inventor of recipes. Her well researched cookbooks read as mini ethnography(民族志).
Readers will not learn how to make traditional Chinese cuisines but how and why Chinese chefs have long prized unusual(and to Westerners, sometimes unappealing) ingredients. A seemingly humble yet labor intensive dish of braised carp(鲤鱼) tail serves as a starting point for exploring the significance of kougan, or mouthfeel, in Chinese cuisine. Westerners, Ms Dunlop argues, “have traditionally assumed that the Chinese eat less desirable animal parts out of poverty”, when in fact they shut the door on various foods that are wonderfully cui (“slippery and crunchy, often in a wet way”).
Altogether, Ms Dunlop makes a persuasive argument for the superiority of Chinese cuisine, highlighting its strengths in a joyful manner rather than a boastful one. She shows how it has embraced foreign influences, how it has changed with China's increasing wealth and how central it is to the country's cultural history.
She makes an equally persuasive argument that what Westerners think of as “Chinese food”, commonly found at their local takeaway, is neither inauthentic nor wrong. Instead, it is an adaptation shaped by Chinese communities living abroad and as representative of the cuisine's diversity as a frozen pizza is of Italy's. Immigration has made the authentic flavors more accessible than ever outside China. Eaters should learn to appreciate that.
(　B　)1.Why might the plain chicken soup seem odd to Westerners
A.It is placed in a white cup.
B.It is served at the end of the meal.
C.It is made of unusual ingredients.
D.It is enriched with complex flavors.
(　B　)2.How does Invitation to a Banquet differ from traditional cookbooks
A.It keeps track of foreign recipes.
B.It explores aspects beyond recipes.
C.It is intended for cuisine research.
D.It teaches how to make Chinese cuisines.
(　D　)3.What can be inferred from the mentioning of “Westerners” in Para.3
A.They view Chinese cuisine as pricey.
B.They hesitate to try new ingredients.
C.They like Chinese cuisine's diversity.
D.They often misinterpret Chinese cuisine.
(　A　)4.What does Ms Dunlop think of Chinese cuisine
A.Inclusive and dynamic.
B.Inflexible and adapted.
C.Simple and overvalued.
D.Beautiful and boastful.
【文本大意】文章主要介绍了英国美食作家扶霞·邓洛普的新书《君幸食:一场贯穿古今的中餐盛宴》,以及她对中国菜肴的看法。
1.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The most memorable dish, however, was the plain white cup of soup served at the end.(然而,最令人难忘的菜肴是最后端上的一碗普通的白汤。)”和“It seem odd to Westerners(这对西方人来说似乎很奇怪)”可知,素鸡汤在宴会最后上桌,这对西方人来说很奇怪。故选B。
2.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Invitation to a Banquet is... Chinese life and history.(《君幸食: 一场贯穿古今的中餐盛宴》是邓洛普女士的第七本书,与传统的烹饪书不同,她选择了30道菜来阐述中国烹饪的不同方面,进而阐述中国的生活和历史。)”可知,《君幸食: 一场贯穿古今的中餐盛宴》与传统烹饪书的不同之处在于它阐述中国的生活和历史,探讨了食谱之外的方面。故选B。
3.D　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Westerners, Ms Dunlop argues, ‘have... on various foods that are wonderfully cui (‘slippery and crunchy , often in a wet way’).[邓洛普女士认为,西方人‘传统上认为中国人因为贫穷而吃不太可口的动物部位’,而实际上,他们拒绝了许多绝妙脆感食材(‘湿滑弹嫩的口感’)。]”可知,第三段提到“西方人”是为了说明他们对中国菜肴存在误解。由此可推知,西方人经常误解中国菜。故选D。
4.A　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“She shows how it has embraced foreign influences, how it has changed with China's increasing wealth(她展示了它是如何接受外国影响的,它是如何随着中国财富的增加而变化的)” 可知,中国美食是包容的(embraced foreign influences)且充满活力的(changed with China's increasing wealth)。故选A。
B
[2026·黄山模拟] First they came for the eggs. Then the feta cheese, cottage cheese and cucumbers. In some countries, these ingredients were even out of stock: Iceland experienced a shortage of cucumbers, and feta briefly disappeared from grocery store shelves. The reason for the mass purchases Enthusiasts of online cooking were eager to recreate viral videos in which each of these ingredients starred.
Few topics are as appetizing to netizens as cooking, especially over the holidays. Food is the fourth most popular subject on the Internet, up from the 17th place in 2009, according to GWI, a consumer research firm.
The abundance of online food contents not only causes occasional ingredient shortages when a video goes viral. It is also making cooking more gregarious. In eating broadcast videos, streamers can pig out food in front of a camera and field live comments from viewers and give instant feedback. The Internet has brought people without notable restaurants or cookbooks to chef stardom. For example, around 21 million people subscribe to the videos of Nick DiGiovanni, a Harvard educated food personality, about the same number as subscribe to that of Gordon Ramsay, a famous British chef.
The fact that social media have caused interest in food to rise as fast as home baked bread should not come as a surprise. Everyone has to eat, and cooking is a common hobby. Video is also an efficient medium for instruction—more precise, in many ways, than the written word. Americans who recently cooked turkeys for Thanksgiving can testify that “golden brown” to one cook may look underdone to another and even burnt to a third.
Successful online food personalities “recognize and make a real effort to meet the specific needs of their viewers”, explains Madeline Buxton, a culture and trends manager of a social media platform. Some viewers want to be entertained; others want to learn, travel or eat vicariously(感同身受地) through people more adventurous than they are. Online chefs and food boosters sell a lifestyle: You are what you eat, how you eat and what you watch about eating.
(　D　)5.What caused some ingredients to be sold out in Iceland
A.The delicacy of those ingredients.
B.The modest price of those ingredients.
C.The inadequacy of online food contents.
D.Food lovers' rush to remake online videos.
(　B　)6.What does the underlined word “gregarious” in Para. 3 mean
A.Creative.　　　　　B.Social.
C.Convenient. D.Famous.
(　C　)7.Why does the author mention Thanksgiving turkey cooking
A.To illustrate tastes differ in turkey cooking.
B.To turn cooking into a widespread pastime.
C.To show videos deliver clearer instructions.
D.To suggest a preferred way of turkey cooking.
(　C　)8.What is Buxton's opinion about successful online food contents
A.They should be entertaining and instructive.
B.They should be adventurous and healthy.
C.They should be tailored to different needs.
D.They should be devoted to a balanced lifestyle.
【文本大意】文章主要介绍了网络烹饪视频对食材供应、烹饪社交性以及人们对食物兴趣的影响,解释了网络烹饪视频为何受欢迎,以及它们如何改变人们的烹饪习惯和社交方式。
5.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In some countries, these ingredients... these ingredients starred.(在一些国家,这些食材甚至脱销了:冰岛遭遇了黄瓜短缺,羊奶干酪也一度从杂货店的货架上消失不见。大规模抢购的原因是什么呢 网络烹饪爱好者们急切地想要复刻那些在网上走红的视频,而上述每一种食材都是这些视频中的主角。)”可知,在冰岛一些食材脱销的原因是网络烹饪爱好者们急切地想要复刻那些在网上走红的视频,而这些食材是视频中的主角,因此导致了一些食材的脱销。故选D。
6.B　词义猜测题。根据画线词上下文的内容“网络上丰富的美食内容不仅会在某个视频走红时偶尔导致食材短缺,还让烹饪变得更gregarious。在吃播视频中,主播们可以在镜头前大快朵颐,同时处理观众的实时评论并即时给出反馈。”可知,网络美食内容让烹饪不再只是个人的行为,而是通过网络视频的形式,让主播和观众之间有了互动和交流,这体现了烹饪变得更具社交性。故选B。
7.C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Video is also an efficient medium for instruction... even burnt to a third.(视频也是一种高效的教学媒介——在很多方面,它比文字更加精确。最近为感恩节烹饪火鸡的美国人可以证明,“金黄色”在一位厨师看来可能已经烤好,但在另一位厨师看来可能还没熟透,甚至在第三位厨师看来可能已经烤焦了。)”可知,作者先指出视频是一种高效的教学媒介,在很多方面比文字更精确,然后以美国人烹饪感恩节火鸡为例,说明对于“金黄色”这个文字描述,不同的厨师理解不同。由此可知,作者提到感恩节火鸡烹饪是为了表明视频能传递更清晰的指令,比文字更有优势。故选C。
8.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Successful online food personalities ‘recognize and make a real effort to meet the specific needs of their viewers’, explains Madeline Buxton, a culture and trends manager of a social media platform.(一个社交媒体平台的文化与趋势经理Madeline Buxton解释说,成功的网络美食达人‘认识到并真正努力满足观众的特定需求’。)”可知,Madeline Buxton认为成功的网络美食内容创作者会认识到并真正努力去满足观众的特定需求,也就是说成功的网络美食内容应该根据不同的需求来定制。故选C。

[2023·新全国Ⅰ卷] Xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), those amazing constructions of delicate dumpling wrappers, encasing hot, 1.　tasty　(taste) soup and sweet, fresh meat, are far and away my favorite Chinese street food. The dumplings arrive steaming and dangerously hot. To eat one, you have to decide whether 2.　to bite　(bite) a small hole in it first, releasing the steam and risking a spill(溢出), 3.　or　 to put the whole dumpling in your mouth, letting the hot soup explode on your tongue.
Shanghai may be the 4.　recognized　(recognize) home of the soup dumplings but food historians will actually point you to the neighboring canal town of Nanxiang as xiaolongbao's birthplace. There you will find them prepared differently—more dumpling and less soup, and the wrappers are pressed 5.　by　 hand rather than rolled.
Nanxiang aside, the best xiaolongbao have a fine skin, allowing them 6.　to be lifted　(lift) out of the steamer basket without tearing or spilling any of 7.　their　(they) contents. The meat should be fresh with 8.　a　 touch of sweetness and the soup hot, clear and delicious.
No matter where I buy them, one steamer is 9.　rarely　(rare) enough, yet two seems greedy, so I am always left 10.　wanting　(want) more next time.
【文本大意】文章介绍了中国美食——小笼包。
1.tasty　考查形容词。句意:小笼包(汤包),那些精致的包子皮,包裹着热腾腾的美味汤汁和甜甜的鲜肉,是我最喜欢的中国街头小吃。修饰后面的名词soup(汤),空处需用tasty“美味的”作定语。故填tasty。
2.to bite　考查非谓语动词。句意:吃小笼包的时候,你必须要决定是先咬一个小口释放里面的热气,并冒着有可能溢出汤汁的风险,还是把整个小笼包放进嘴里,让热汤在舌头上爆炸。分析句子结构可知,此处为whether+to do作decide的宾语,表示“决定是否做某事”。故填to bite。
3.or　考查连词。句意同上。whether... or... 意为“是……还是……”。故填or。
4.recognized　考查非谓语动词。句意:上海可能是公认的小笼包之乡,但美食历史学家会告诉你,邻近的运河小镇南翔才是小笼包的发源地。本空需填过去分词recognized作定语,recognized意为“被公认的”,也可以看作是形容词作定语。故填recognized。

6.to be lifted　考查非谓语动词。句意:除了南翔,最好的小笼包有一个精致的皮,可以让它们从蒸笼篮中拿出来,而不会撕裂或溢出里面的东西。allow sth to do sth意为“允许某物做某事”, 空处需用动词不定式作宾语补足语,补足语lift out与宾语them(指代小笼包)是逻辑上的动宾关系,空处需填动词不定式的被动式to be lifted。故填to be lifted。
7.their　考查代词。句意同上。修饰后面的名词contents(东西),需用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
8.a　考查冠词。句意:肉应该是新鲜的,有一点甜味,汤汁应该是热的、清澈的、美味的。a touch of意为“一点点;稍许”。故填a。
9.rarely　考查副词。句意:无论我在哪里买,一蒸笼都不够,而两蒸笼又显得太贪心了,所以我总是想下次再买更多。用副词rarely作状语,修饰形容词enough。故填rarely。
10.wanting　考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处为“leave sb+宾语补足语”的被动结构;I与want之间是逻辑上的主动关系,用现在分词wanting。leave sb doing sth意为“让某人处于某种状态”。故填wanting。高效作业22选择性必修第二册　Unit 1　Science and Scientists

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
[2026·黄冈模拟] As a little girl, I was crazy about every science and nature channel, loving shows like Planet Earth that let me get up close with a bird eating tarantula(狼蛛). Although absorbed in wildlife, I was too frightened to go into nature myself. Later when I was in high school, the disconnection became really clear when I collapsed after getting hit in the face by a flying beetle(甲虫). “Hmm. This might cause a problem,” I thought. I considered nature to be an unpredictable and unsafe space for me.
Eventually, I turned my interest to microbiology, enjoying the comfortable environment of a lab where dangerous things were contained in test tubes. Then for my Doctor of Philosophy, I joined the lab of a field scientist named Elizabeth Hadly for a project that focused on bats as a source of infectious diseases. When I joined the Hadly lab, everyone else had field experience except me. So I immediately counted myself out when Elizabeth announced a month long trip to Botswana, but Elizabeth convinced me to go.
During our trip to Botswana's Okavango Delta, when resting one afternoon, I heard our guide Gareth calmly inform us, “There's an elephant right behind you.” I then noticed a massive male elephant hiding behind a small tree. Gareth explained this elephant was in a period of heightened reproductive signals that could cause aggression(攻击性).
We all slowly inched our way back to our car while Gareth was making loud noise shaking a large fallen tree branch at the elephant. “He should be afraid right now. I'm in the safety of this car and I'm still afraid. This is exactly why I shouldn't be here,” I thought. Looking around, I saw tense faces and realized I wasn't the only one who was stressed out. At that moment, I realized that feeling afraid didn't have to disqualify me from being a field scientist.
The elephant eventually left. The encounter made me more present, and while my mind was focused on the elephant in front, the one in my head quietly disappeared as well.
(　B　)1.How did a flying beetle affect the author
A.Her passion for science grew.
B.She had negative ideas about nature.
C.She enjoyed TV shows more.
D.Her curiosity about birds disappeared.
(　C　)2.Why did the author join the Hadly lab
A.To get field experience.
B.To overcome her fear.
C.To help with her degree.
D.To advocate disease study.
(　A　)3.How did the other people feel when encountering the elephant
A.Nervous.　　　　　B.Qualified.
C.Inspired. D.Calm.
(　D　)4.What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A.She centered more on the elephant.
B.The guide's behavior aggressed her.
C.Her stress from work was reduced.
D.Her fear of field work got nonexistent.
【文本大意】文章主要讲述了作者从畏惧自然到克服恐惧成为野外科学家的成长历程。
1.B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Later when I was in high school, the disconnection became really clear when I collapsed after getting hit in the face by a flying beetle(甲虫). ‘Hmm. This might cause a problem,’ I thought. I considered nature to be an unpredictable and unsafe space for me.(后来,在我上高中的时候,当我被一只飞着的甲虫击中脸部后晕倒时,这种脱节变得非常明显。‘嗯,这可能会带来问题。’我想。我认为大自然对我来说是一个不可预测且不安全的地方。)”可推断出,甲虫让作者对大自然有了消极的想法。故选B。
2.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Then for my Doctor of Philosophy, I joined the lab of a field scientist named Elizabeth Hadly for a project that focused on bats as a source of infectious diseases.(然后,为了攻读哲学博士学位,我加入了一位名叫伊丽莎白·哈德利的野外科学家的实验室,参与一个专注于研究蝙蝠作为传染病源头的项目。)”可知,为了帮助获取博士学位,作者加入了哈德利实验室。故选C。
3.A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Looking around, I saw tense faces and realized I wasn't the only one who was stressed out.(我环顾四周,看到一张张紧张的面孔,这才意识到自己并非唯一一个感到焦虑不安的人。)”可知,遇到大象时,团队里的其他人也都很紧张和害怕。故选A。
4.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The encounter made me more present, and while my mind was focused on the elephant in front, the one in my head quietly disappeared as well.(这次遭遇让我更加专注于当下,当我的注意力集中在眼前的大象身上时,我脑海中的那种担忧也悄然消散了。)”可推断出,作者对野外实地考察工作的恐惧不见了。故选D。

[2026·金华一中模拟] Honeybees, despite their tiny brains, perform extraordinary feats of navigation. They routinely fly kilometers from their hives, locate scattered flowers, and return precisely—a skill critical to pollination and global food security. For decades, scientists believed bees relied solely on visual landmarks and the sun's position to navigate. However, groundbreaking research published in 2024 revealed a hidden mechanism: sensitivity to Earth's magnetic field.
The discovery emerged from a coincidental observation. Biologists at Cambridge University noticed that bees in cloudy conditions, deprived of solar cues, still corrected their flight paths after displacement. Intrigued, they designed an experiment: Bees were fitted with microscopic magnetic disruptors(干扰器), while control groups wore non magnetic tags. When released in an unfamiliar field, the disruptor group showed 63% more directional errors, strongly implying magnetic perception.
Further studies identified magnetite nanoparticles in bees' abdomens(腹部)—minerals also found in migratory birds. These particles align with magnetic fields, creating internal “maps”. Remarkably, bees adjust this system daily using sunlight, blending magnetic and solar data for precision. Dr Voss, co lead researcher, explains, “It resembles using both GPS and a compass, which ensures reliability amid environmental changes.”
This dual system adaptation has evolutionary roots. Fossil records show bees existed 100 million years ago, when volcanic activity frequently altered landscapes. Magnetic sensing would have enabled ancestral bees to navigate landforms reshaped by eruptions—a survival trait passed to modern species. Today, this ability faces new challenges. Electromagnetic pollution from power lines and wireless networks can disturb weak geomagnetic signals, potentially misdirect bees. A 2025 German study found hive collapse rates 22% higher near high voltage towers, suggesting a troubling link.
Understanding bee navigation isn't merely academic. With 75% of crops depending on pollinators, decoding their orientation systems could inform conservation strategies. Proposals include creating “magnetic corridors” shielded from interference, or designing urban green spaces with natural magnetic landmarks. As Prof. Patel notes, “Protecting bees requires safeguarding not just their food sources, but the invisible forces that guide them.”
(　B　)5.What initially challenged the traditional belief about honeybee navigation
A.The discovery of magnetite in birds' brains.
B.Their accurate orientation under sunless skies.
C.Hive collapse patterns near agricultural zones.
D.Bees' ability to fly long distances without resting.
(　C　)6.Why did researchers use magnetic disruptors in the Cambridge experiment

[2026·黄冈模拟] As a little girl, I was crazy about every science and nature channel, loving shows like Planet Earth that let me get up close with a bird eating tarantula(狼蛛). Although absorbed in wildlife, I was too frightened to go into nature myself. Later when I was in high school, the disconnection became really clear when I collapsed after getting hit in the face by a flying beetle(甲虫). “Hmm. This might cause a problem,” I thought. I considered nature to be an unpredictable and unsafe space for me.
Eventually, I turned my interest to microbiology, enjoying the comfortable environment of a lab where dangerous things were contained in test tubes. Then for my Doctor of Philosophy, I joined the lab of a field scientist named Elizabeth Hadly for a project that focused on bats as a source of infectious diseases. When I joined the Hadly lab, everyone else had field experience except me. So I immediately counted myself out when Elizabeth announced a month long trip to Botswana, but Elizabeth convinced me to go.
During our trip to Botswana's Okavango Delta, when resting one afternoon, I heard our guide Gareth calmly inform us, “There's an elephant right behind you.” I then noticed a massive male elephant hiding behind a small tree. Gareth explained this elephant was in a period of heightened reproductive signals that could cause aggression(攻击性).
We all slowly inched our way back to our car while Gareth was making loud noise shaking a large fallen tree branch at the elephant. “He should be afraid right now. I'm in the safety of this car and I'm still afraid. This is exactly why I shouldn't be here,” I thought. Looking around, I saw tense faces and realized I wasn't the only one who was stressed out. At that moment, I realized that feeling afraid didn't have to disqualify me from being a field scientist.
The elephant eventually left. The encounter made me more present, and while my mind was focused on the elephant in front, the one in my head quietly disappeared as well.

[2026·金华一中模拟] Honeybees, despite their tiny brains, perform extraordinary feats of navigation. They routinely fly kilometers from their hives, locate scattered flowers, and return precisely—a skill critical to pollination and global food security. For decades, scientists believed bees relied solely on visual landmarks and the sun's position to navigate. However, groundbreaking research published in 2024 revealed a hidden mechanism: sensitivity to Earth's magnetic field.
The discovery emerged from a coincidental observation. Biologists at Cambridge University noticed that bees in cloudy conditions, deprived of solar cues, still corrected their flight paths after displacement. Intrigued, they designed an experiment: Bees were fitted with microscopic magnetic disruptors(干扰器), while control groups wore non magnetic tags. When released in an unfamiliar field, the disruptor group showed 63% more directional errors, strongly implying magnetic perception.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
When Mark Twain visited Florence in 1867, he dutifully visited the city's museums, churches, and tombs. But as he stood by the Arno, he began to sense the Italians' insistence that it was a river, not a stream. “They all call it a river, and they honestly think it is a river. These dark and bloody Florentines do think so,” he complained. “I might enter Florence under happier circumstances a month hence and find it all beautiful, all attractive. But I do not care to think of it now, at all.”
It's normal to feel uncomfortable outside your home culture. Feelings of discomfort, dislocation, and overload among travelers are referred to by many as “culture shock”. But Susan Goldstein, a professor at the University of Redlands, says, “Though the term has existed for many years, ‘culture shock’ implies a dramatic, unexpected, negative event. Though many travelers will experience such challenges, a real sense of ‘shock’ is untypical. So untypical that many researchers no longer use the term.”
It was the vivid description of culture shock by Canadian researcher Oberg, written in 1960 in response to his own multicultural experiences, that won over audiences. The researcher spoke of the adjustment process as “an occupational disease of people who have suddenly been transplanted abroad”—a “disease” that progressed from a honeymoon phase, through rejecting the new environment, to finally adjusting fully to it. By the 1970s, many researchers adopted the idea that, like physical illnesses, culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages.
Modern research, however, suggests that the experiences of adaptation are individual, not universal. “People will have their ups and downs, but for the most part, they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over time,” says Goldstein. And while many connect the causes of culture shock to the host culture itself, an individual's internal expectations and differences are just as important.
As for Mark Twain, the moody author was able to ride out his feelings of upset and dislocation while traveling. He eventually finished his European tour—and in his bestselling travel memoir The Innocents Abroad, famously remarked that travel is “fatal to prejudice and narrow mindedness”. With the right attitude—and the willingness to seek help if you need it—it's more than likely that you, too, can adapt and grow in new settings, building new memories—and toughness—with each new stamp in your passport.
(　A　)1.How did Mark Twain feel about Italians' insistence
A.Annoyed.　　　　　B.Calm.
C.Uninterested. D.Curious.
(　D　)2.What can be inferred about culture shock
A.It would lead to physical diseases.
B.It was regarded as an avoidable thing.
C.It was named for people's adjustment.
D.It had gained wide acceptance by the 1970s.
(　B　)3.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A.Suggestions about culture shock.
B.A change in understanding culture shock.
C.Stress of the importance of culture shock.
D.A criticism of previous idea of culture shock.
(　C　)4.Why is Mark Twain mentioned in the last paragraph
A.To remember him.
B.To inform readers of the importance of traveling.
C.To conclude and encourage readers to have the right attitude.
D.To make the ending humorous.
【文本大意】本文主要探讨“文化冲击”的概念、人们对异国他乡适应过程的理解以及通过旅行获得成长和新的体验的可能性。
1.A　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“‘They all call it a river, and they honestly think it is a river. These dark and bloody Florentines do think so,’ he complained.(‘他们都说它是一条河,而且他们真的认为它是一条河,这些黑暗、血腥的佛罗伦萨人就是这样认为的,’他抱怨道。)”可推断,马克·吐温对意大利人的坚持感到恼怒。故选A。
2.D　推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“By the 1970s, many researchers adopted the idea that, like physical illnesses, culture shock progressed through a remarkably consistent and universal set of stages.(到20世纪70年代,许多研究人员接受了这样一种观点,即像身体疾病一样,文化冲击的发展经历了一系列非常一致和普遍的阶段。)”可知,到20世纪70年代,文化冲击得到了广泛的认可。故选D。
3.B　主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“People will have their ups and downs, but for the most part, they will become increasingly comfortable and competent over time(人们会有起起落落,但在大多数情况下,随着时间的推移,他们会变得越来越从容和有能力)”和“And while many connect the causes of culture shock to the host culture itself, an individual's internal expectations and differences are just as important.(虽然许多人将文化冲击的原因与东道国文化本身联系起来,但个人的内在期望和差异也同样重要。)”可知,第四段的主要内容是对文化冲击理解的改变。故选B。
4.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He eventually finished his European tour... with each new stamp in your passport.(他最终结束了他的欧洲之旅——在他最畅销的旅行回忆录《傻子出国记》中,他有一句名言:旅行‘是偏见和狭隘的杀手’。有了正确的态度——以及在需要时寻求帮助的意愿——你也很有可能在新的环境中适应和成长,在你护照上的每一个新印记上建立新的记忆和韧性。)”可知,最后一段提到马克·吐温的目的是总结全文,鼓励读者采取正确的态度。故选C。
Ⅱ.七选五
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
[2026·保定模拟] In this globalized era, it has become more and more common to work, live, befriend, and even create families with people of diverse backgrounds. In this sense, understanding how to bridge cultural gaps among various diverse groups is important. The better we understand each other, the less misunderstanding would occur. 1.　B　.
Recognize cultural differences.
Be as open minded as possible. Recognize cultural differences among the people you are communicating with.2.　G　 before you know the person more in depth. It is a way to respect their differences.
Show respect.
3.　F　. Some cultures show it more physically, like bowing in Japan. Others are less physical, but more on the verbal level, like in most Western cultures. Respect the way people express respect.
Speak clearly.
Speaking clearly means using concrete words, not abstract words, which can often confuse those who speak English as a foreign or second language. Use a calm and soft intonation as well, as people tend to take in information better when listening to a calming tone.

【文本大意】本文主要讲述了年轻音乐家墨韵以古筝为文化桥梁,在全球传播中国文化的故事,并介绍了她在推广过程中的具体做法及其取得的成就。
1.is faced　考查时态和主谓一致。句意:古筝,以其优雅的声音而闻名,在诠释现代音乐方面面临着挑战。be faced with意为“面临”,此处描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,主语Guzheng为第三人称单数,be动词用is。故填is faced。
2.preserving　考查非谓语动词。句意:从学生时代开始,墨韵就创造性地将流行曲调与古筝技巧相结合,在保留原有魅力的同时增添独特的古筝韵味。此处为非谓语动词作状语,Moyun与preserve之间是逻辑上的主动关系,所以用现在分词。故填preserving。
3.views　考查名词的数。句意:她的古筝版《加州旅馆》在社交媒体上获得了超过2 000万观看量,国际观众对这种乐器的美妙惊叹不已。view表示“观看次数”时为可数名词,空前有over 20 million修饰,所以用复数形式views。故填views。
4.amazed　考查形容词。句意同上。此处为“with+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,所以用形容词amazed作宾语补足语,表示“感到惊奇的”。此处也可以理解为考查amazed过去分词的用法,即观众被惊艳到。故填amazed。
5.To promote　考查非谓语动词。句意:为了促进文化理解,墨韵解决了一些常见的误解,并坚持使用“guzheng”而不是“Chinese zither”来突出其中国身份。此处为非谓语动词作目的状语,表示“为了促进文化理解”,所以用动词不定式to promote;位于句首,首字母需大写。故填To promote。
6.and　考查连词。句意同上。addresses common misunderstandings和insists on using “guzheng”... 是并列关系,所以用连词and连接。故填and。
7.a　考查冠词。句意:与三星堆博物馆合作,她创作了一首受四川古代青铜时代文物启发的音乐作品。piece为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,此处表示“一首音乐作品”,为泛指,且musical以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
8.inspiration　考查名词。句意:她还从电子游戏中汲取灵感,重新编排《黑神话:悟空》等配乐,以吸引年轻观众。此处作draws的宾语,应用名词形式。故填inspiration。
9.which　考查定语从句。句意:墨韵在中国被评为“好青年网民”,她展示了文化遗产如何跨越代际和边界,这激励着年轻人追求自己的热爱。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个主句的内容,关系词在从句中作主语。故填which。
10.for　考查介词。句意:通过将传统与现代创造力相结合,她为中国文化在世界舞台上闪耀照亮了道路。此处表示“为中国文化”,应用介词for。故填for。高效作业25选择性必修第二册　Unit 4　Journey Across a Vast Land
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
Ⅰ.阅读理解
On the rocky beach, Shiwak butchers the seal with precision, turning the water red as a crow flies overhead. As a boy, he learned to hunt and fish from his father and grandfather, who had learned from their elders. It is also how Shiwak learned the core Inuit(因纽特人的) values of taking only what is needed, sharing, sustainability and respect for nature—values he is passing down to his children.
Shiwak has hunted for years in the waters of Lake Melville, close to the Inuit community of Rigolet in Nunatsiavut, an autonomous area in Canada. But while traditional knowledge has allowed Inuit to survive in this severe environment for a long time, the climatic conditions are changing quickly. Since 1950, Nunatsiavut has lost 40 days of ground snow a year. Its sea ice is disappearing faster than anywhere in the Canadian Arctic. By November, the shoreline would usually be covered in ice, and people would be putting away their boats and dusting off their snowmobiles. In his lifetime, Shiwak has witnessed the winters becoming warmer, wetter, and shorter.
There is very little local people can do about that: although the region is roughly the size of the Republic of Ireland, Nunatsiavut's population is less than 3,000, spread among five small towns. What they can do, however, is working to protect what they have. That's why Nunatsiavut is partnering the Canadian government to co develop the world's first Inuit protected area. Built on Inuit values and culture, this new type of conservation area would allow local people to continue traditional practices of hunting and fishing.
“Just that we're small doesn't mean we can't do anything,” says James Goudie, deputy minister of lands and natural resources in the Nunatsiavut government. “We can show the world that a small region can protect a massive amount of biodiversity.” The Inuit protected area would only cover about a third of Nunatsiavut's offshore waters, but the region is home to important populations of fish, the breeding grounds for many migratory birds, and the habitat of Arctic marine mammals.
(　 　)1.How do Inuit people learn their core values
A.By enhancing their hunting skills.
B.By receiving general school education.
C.By appreciating the gifts of nature.
D.By passing them down from generation to generation.
(　 　)2.What makes it more difficult for the Inuit to survive
A.Their small population.
B.Climate change.
C.Their conventional knowledge.
D.The overuse of resources.
(　 　)3.What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A.The Inuit knowledge of surviving is disappearing.
B.The number of Canadian Inuit has dramatically increased.
C.The region is too large in comparison with the Republic of Ireland.
D.The new protected area will help maintain the traditional Inuit way of life.
(　 　)4.Which of the following can be supported by the text
A.The Inuit take an unsustainable way of life.
B.The population of Canadian Inuit is more than that of the Republic of Ireland.
C.Nunatsiavut plans to create a conservation area for the Inuit.
D.Nunatsiavut contributes a lot to the diverse culture in Canada.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
[2026·徐州模拟] Most of us have a map of the world in our mind that we use anytime we think about places. 1.　 　 In fact, many of the maps in our heads share the same errors, some of which are quite large and surprisingly resistant to correction.
For example, we all believe that South America is just south of North America, of course. But you may be surprised by the fact that virtually the entire South American continent is east of Florida. There are lots of possible reasons for geographical misconceptions like this one, says cartographer(地图绘制员) John Nelson. 2.　 　 After all, it's not called Southeast America.
Europe is also often placed much farther south on mental maps than it really is. But it actually lines up better with Canada. 3.　 　 Western Europe is relatively warm for its latitude(纬度) thanks to the Gulf Stream which brings warmer water from the Gulf of Mexico across the Atlantic. The warmer temperatures are more similar to the climate of the lower 48 states than Canada's.
4.　 　 We also have misconceptions about the relative size of things. This may be due in part to the nature of 2 D maps. Flattening a 3 D globe onto a flat surface isn't possible without some distortion(变形). This is especially obvious for maps that use certain projections.
Mercator maps distort the shape and relative size of continents, particularly near the poles. This is why Greenland appears to be similar in size to all of South America on Mercator maps. 5.　 　
A.Locations aren't the only way our mental maps can be wrong.
B.But these mental maps aren't necessarily dependable.
C.Nelson says that climate might play a role in this misunderstanding.
D.In fact, South America is more than eight times larger than Greenland.
E.He believes the misplaced Americas may be partly a result of their names.
F.However, our physical experience of the world may come into play as well.
G.None of these geographic misconceptions would be surprising for a student.
