阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
C&D 1
(24-25高三上·辽宁·期末)Like many industries worldwide, Australia’s fruit-picking industry was impacted heavily during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a shortage of workers in the labor market that would normally be filled by travelers looking to make money on the road. Local researchers came up with a partial solution to this problem, developing a fruit-picking robot that can harvest apples at a high speed.
Robots have benefited the world of agriculture in various ways, from inspecting crops and raising sheep to searching fields and removing weeds. We’ re also starting to see how they’ re playing a role in’ food production, with robots already appearing that can pick certain small pieces of fruit and harvest certain vegetables, or even shape fruit trees to keep them healthy and free from disease.
Researchers in Australia turned their attention to apples. The robot used a mix of cameras and deep learning algorithms (算法) to scan the trees in’ a field and detect the pieces of fruit, which required the robot to process information on their shape, the stem-branch joint’s location, etc. The robot collected apples with a specially designed soft “hand” with four fingers and a pneumatic sucking system (吸系统) that drew the apples from the branches into the “hand”.
The “hand” could reduce damage to the fruit and the tree itself to the smallest extent. Its sucking system could reduce the need for the “hand” to reach into the branches, thus inhibiting potential damage to its surroundings.
According to the research team, the robot could identify over 90 percent of apples within the view of its camera and a distance of around 1.2 m, And the machine could operate in all lighting and weather conditions, and required less than 200 milliseconds to process an apple’ s image. So far, there searchers have been conducting field trials, and they report the robot damaged less than 6 percent of its collected fruit.
1.What problem did Australia’s fruit industry face
A.A growing demand for fruit. B.The decreased output of the fruit.
C.The rising cost of collecting fruit. D.A lack of fruit-collecting workers.
2.What can be concluded about robots from paragraph 2
A.They are made in a shape of a tree.
B.They are widely applied in agriculture.
C.They have strengths and also weaknesses.
D.They are very efficient tools for harvesting crops.
3.Which word below can replace the underlined “inhibiting” in paragraph 4
A.Causing. B.Preventing. C.Forbidding. D.Hiding.
4.Which can be the best title for the text
A.Robots can Help Pick Apples B.Robots will Replace Workers
C.Robots will Come to Market Soon D.Robots Can Pick Apples More Efficiently

(24-25高三上·新疆乌鲁木齐·阶段练习)Advances in laser scanning have transformed how museums research and protect paintings by mapping the textures, colors and dimensions of their surfaces in great detail. Now, an innovative Austrian printmaking company is using the technology — and the rich data it produces — to offer art enthusiasts the chance to “live with a masterpiece”.
Founded in 2022, Lito Masters has partnered with several major museums to carry out detailed scans of paintings by artists including Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse and Wassily Kandinsky. It then uses 3D-printing technology to create textured, stroke-for-stroke reproductions on canvas or paper, complete even with the originals’ imperfections. “It’s almost a clone,” said the company’ s co-founder John Dodelande.
Billed (被宣传为) as a new take on printing, the reproductions are made to be practically indistinguishable from the masterpieces they are based on. But even to the untrained eye, there is at least one major difference: the price. A canvas reproduction of“Bedroom in Arles” by van Gogh, whose works have been known to reach nine-figure sums at auction (拍卖), is available for under$4,000.
Created in batches of between 150 and 999 editions per artwork, each reproduction is accompanied with a certificate of authenticity from the museum that owns the original. The firm’s parent company, Lito, holds the commercial license for a laser scanner usually used by art institutions for research. The scans, which were sometimes carried out on paintings as they hung on museum walls, took up to six hours per square meter, said Dodelande, adding that his team worked during closing hours.
For museums, the commercialization of scanning technology means they can sell souvenirs with greater depth than a poster or high-resolution print. At the Musée d’ Orsay in Paris, for instance, Lito Masters’ printed reproductions of van Gogh’ s works are now available for sale at the gift shop. Lito Masters plans to partner with more museums and artists’ estates. The firm is also working with contemporary artists to produce new works with the company’s printing technology.
Beyond research and education, Lito Masters hopes the reproductions one day can show up in exhibitions when the originals cannot be loaned or transported.
5.What makes it possible to “live with a masterpiece”
A.Detailed laser scanning. B.Paper-making technique.
C.Cross-cultural partnership. D.Research on art museum-goers.
6.What can be learned about the reproductions
A.They are cloned imperfectly. B.They are produced by many firms.
C.They are officially authorized. D.They are priced close to the originals.
7.What may be a benefit of cloning masterpieces
A.Relieving artists’ stress. B.Doing duty for absent originals.
C.Boosting the teamwork of artists. D.Replacing conventional painting methods.
8.Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A.The Use of Laser Scanning in Protecting Paintings
B.Lito Masters: Bringing Masterpieces to the Masses
C.The Commercialization of Art through Technology
D.Affordable Art: How Lito Masters Disturbs the Art Market

(24-25高三上·新疆乌鲁木齐·阶段练习)Mathematics is treated with both awe and fear: People often see math as an objective and useful tool but they also feel anxious when they think they might have to use it.
Mathematician Eugenia Cheng has spent much of her career working to ease those anxieties.She has written several books, both for adults and children, which seek to cultivate mathematical curiosity and illustrate some of the ways mathematical thinking can enrich our lives. Her latest, Is Math Real How Simple Questions Lead Us to Mathematics’ Deepest Truths, demonstrates the ways that seemingly simple questions can unlock fascinating journeys to understanding math for math’s sake.
Students are naturally curious about numbers and patterns, but math classes often teach them that math facts should be accepted without question. For instance, a student might learn that a prime number (质数) is defined as a whole number that is only divisible by itself and 1. The number 1, however, is not considered a prime number. If a student asks why not, he will likely be told it just isn’t.
But in fact, there is a good reason to exclude l from the prime numbers. As Cheng describes, the prime numbers are the multiplicative (乘法的) building blocks of the whole numbers; every whole number greater than 1 can be broken down as a product of prime numbers. Because multiplying by 1 doesn’t do anything to a number, I isn’t needed to build the other whole numbers. Excluding1 from the primes allows us to break every whole number greater than 1 down into a product of primes in only one way. If I were a prime number, those products would no longer be unique.
The prime number example is just one of many simple questions that Cheng poses in the book to motivate deep dives into the logical foundations of mathematics: Why does 1+1=2 Why does-(-1)=1 Why does 2÷4=4+2 And, yes, is math real Cheng’s answers to those questions touch not only on our understanding of mathematics itself, but also on her personal experiences with math education as both student and teacher.
9.What is Eugenia Cheng’s latest book about
A.The influence math has on life. B.Some confusing math problems.
C.Ways to cultivate kids’ creative thinking. D.The exploration of the truths of math.
10.What is implied about math classes
A.They ignore the spirit of inquiry. B.They overemphasize patterns.
C.They are too hard for students. D.They provide further guidance.
11.What is a feature of Is Math Real according to the text
A.It is packed with simple questions. B.It is intended for mathematicians.
C.It centers on the prime numbers. D.It adopts a conversational tone.
12.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A.To urge readers to value math. B.To present a math theory.
C.To review and recommend a good read. D.To support the viewpoint of a book.

(24-25高三上·山东济南·期末)Robots are separated into two parts: the brain and the body. An AI brain can help run the traffic system of a city, but many robots still struggle to open a door — why is that
“Software has advanced rapidly in recent years, but hardware has not kept up. Currently, all robots rely on electricity and software to function. The robotic brain composed of software translates information to the body or hardware through an encoder (编码器), which then performs an action,” said Dr Antonio Forte, a senior lecturer in engineering at King’s College London.
To overcome this, Forte’s team developed a circuit by integrating liquid-based circuits with an adjustable valve (阀) placed within a robot’s hardware. This valve acts like a switch in a normal circuit and engineers can send signals directly to hardware using variations in pressure from liquid inside, allowing the robot to perform complex tasks without the need for electricity or instruction from the central brain. This leads robots to function independently in challenging environments, such as low-income countries that do not have reliable access to electricity.
Independent from the software running it, the advanced hardware system carries the majority of computational load by itself. This opens up the possibility of a new generation of robots, whose bodies could operate independently of their built-in control center, with this space potentially being used instead for more complex AI-powered software, and consequently they can be more aware of their social context, which provides for a new kind of robotics in places like social care and mass production.
“Ultimately, without investment in such field robots will stay at a certain level after a period of growth. Soon, if we do not offload the computational tasks that modern-day robots take on, computing improvements will have little impact on their performance. The work is just a first step on this path, but the future holds smarter robots with smarter bodies,” Mostafa Mousa, a post-graduate researcher at King’s College London, commented.
13.What is holding back the development of robots nowadays
A.Backward hardware. B.High electricity cost.
C.Low-speed encoders. D.Complex calculations.
14.How does the valve function in a robot
A.It translates information. B.It adjusts liquid pressure.
C.It sends electrical signals. D.It powers robots’ brains.
15.What sets the new generation of robots apart from others
A.Autonomy with adaptability. B.Resistance to physical damage.
C.Understanding of users’ likes. D.Capability to control softwares.
16.What does Mousa think of the work of Forte’s team
A.Eventful. B.Doubtful. C.Promising. D.Dismissive.

(24-25高三上·新疆乌鲁木齐·阶段练习)Many of us want to live long, happy and healthy lives. Yet it’s often confusing to know the best way to achieve this, and many aspects of modern living keep us from achieving this goal.
The solution may be to step back in time. Research shows that many of the health problems that trouble modern society are not common among hunter-gatherer societies of both past and present day. This suggests there’s much we can learn from hunter-gatherers to improve our lives.
Hunter-gatherers know the best strategy for survival is connecting and staying together. With limited resources, they are egalitarian (平等主义的) by nature. Each member contributes and shares equally. Actually, living in communities creates close relationships and a strong social support network. And close relationships are key drivers of health and happiness across our lifespan.
Hunter-gatherers eat what nature and the land offer. This at times can be insufficient, requiring periods of fasting (禁食), and their diets primarily consist of plant-based foods that are readily available. Many studies have shown that plant-based diets and fasting can have many benefits for health. For example, research on people living in so-called “blue zones” — the areas that have unusually high life expectancies — suggests their plant-based diets may contribute to their long lifespans. Periodie fasting helps reduce calorie intake and can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Hunter-gatherers evolved to move. Their nomadic (游牧的) lifestyle of hunting and searching for food means they consistently cover distances from 6 to 16 kilometers daily. But modern lifestyles are far more inactive, and many of us consume more calories each day than we use, which leads to weight gain. To address this imbalance, we need to move more and move how hunter-gatherers do. It is recommended that adults get at least 150-300 minutes of medium-intensity activity or at least 75-150 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week. While this isn’t quite as much movement as hunter-gatherers get daily, it will still improve fitness and muscle strength.
17.The first two paragraphs indicate that the hunter-gatherer lifestyle .
A.helps us achieve life goals B.drives us back to ancient times
C.guarantees people’s long life D.offers an inspiration for modern living
18.What contributes most to the survival of hunter-gatherers
A.Tight social bonds. B.Material possessions.
C.Individual contributions. D.Technological advances.
19.Which factor plays a role in extending people’s lifespan in“blue-zones”
A.A nomadic life. B.Plant-based diets.
C.Calorie-rich food. D.Convenient medical care.
20.What does the underlined word “vigorous” mean in paragraph 5
A.Fierce. B.Mild. C.Relaxing. D.Regular.25.【2025年高考英语分类练】阅读理解C&D篇能力提升组组合卷

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍澳大利亚因疫情水果采摘业缺工,研发出高速采苹果机器人,阐述其在农业应用、工作原理及良好性能表现。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Like many industries worldwide, Australia’s fruit-picking industry was impacted heavily during the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a shortage of workers in the labor market that would normally be filled by travelers looking to make money on the road. (与世界各地的许多行业一样,澳大利亚的水果加工业在新冠肺炎大流行期间受到了严重影响,造成劳动力市场的劳动力短缺,而劳动力市场通常由希望在路上赚钱的旅行者填补)”可知,澳大利亚水果采摘行业在新冠疫情期间劳动力市场出现工人短缺问题。故选D。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Robots have benefited the world of agriculture in various ways, from inspecting crops and raising sheep to searching fields and removing weeds. We’ re also starting to see how they’ re playing a role in’ food production, with robots already appearing that can pick certain small pieces of fruit and harvest certain vegetables, or even shape fruit trees to keep them healthy and free from disease. (机器人以各种方式使农业世界受益,从检查作物和饲养绵羊到搜索田地和清除杂草。我们也开始看到它们如何在食品生产中发挥作用,机器人已经出现,可以采摘某些小块水果和收获某些蔬菜,甚至可以塑造果树以保持健康和免于疾病)” 可知,机器人在农业中的应用非常广泛,并且在提高效率方面表现出色。故选B。
3.词义猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词所在的前半句“Its sucking system could reduce the need for the “hand” to reach into the branches (它的吮吸系统可以减少“手”伸进树枝的需要)” 可知,前文说其吮吸系统减少了 “手” 伸进树枝的需求,“thus”表示因果关系,再根据划线词所在的后半句“I potential damage to its surroundings (对周围环境的潜在损害)”可知,这样做应该是防止对周围环境造成潜在损害,“inhibiting”在这里的意思是“阻止”,与“Preventing”意思相近。故选B。
4.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Local researchers came up with a partial solution to this problem, developing a fruit-picking robot that can harvest apples at a high speed. (当地研究人员提出了一个部分解决方案,开发了一种可以高速采摘苹果的水果采摘机器人)”和文章第二段“Robots have benefited the world of agriculture in various ways, from inspecting crops and raising sheep to searching fields and removing weeds. We’ re also starting to see how they’ re playing a role in’ food production, with robots already appearing that can pick certain small pieces of fruit and harvest certain vegetables, or even shape fruit trees to keep them healthy and free from disease. (机器人以各种方式使农业世界受益,从检查作物和饲养绵羊到搜索田地和清除杂草。我们也开始看到它们如何在食品生产中发挥作用,机器人已经出现,可以采摘某些小块水果和收获某些蔬菜,甚至可以塑造果树以保持健康和免于疾病)” 以及文章最后一段“So far, there searchers have been conducting field trials, and they report the robot damaged less than 6 percent of its collected fruit. (到目前为止,这些搜索者一直在进行实地试验,他们报告说,机器人损坏的水果不到其收集水果的6%)”可知,文章主要讲述澳大利亚研究人员研发出能高速采摘苹果的机器人,介绍了其工作原理、优势及试验情况等,围绕机器人帮助采摘苹果展开。所以A选项“Robots can Help Pick Apples (机器人可以帮助摘苹果)”为最佳标题。故选A。

(24-25高三上·新疆乌鲁木齐·阶段练习)Mathematics is treated with both awe and fear: People often see math as an objective and useful tool but they also feel anxious when they think they might have to use it.
Mathematician Eugenia Cheng has spent much of her career working to ease those anxieties.She has written several books, both for adults and children, which seek to cultivate mathematical curiosity and illustrate some of the ways mathematical thinking can enrich our lives. Her latest, Is Math Real How Simple Questions Lead Us to Mathematics’ Deepest Truths, demonstrates the ways that seemingly simple questions can unlock fascinating journeys to understanding math for math’s sake.
Students are naturally curious about numbers and patterns, but math classes often teach them that math facts should be accepted without question. For instance, a student might learn that a prime number (质数) is defined as a whole number that is only divisible by itself and 1. The number 1, however, is not considered a prime number. If a student asks why not, he will likely be told it just isn’t.
But in fact, there is a good reason to exclude l from the prime numbers. As Cheng describes, the prime numbers are the multiplicative (乘法的) building blocks of the whole numbers; every whole number greater than 1 can be broken down as a product of prime numbers. Because multiplying by 1 doesn’t do anything to a number, I isn’t needed to build the other whole numbers. Excluding1 from the primes allows us to break every whole number greater than 1 down into a product of primes in only one way. If I were a prime number, those products would no longer be unique.
The prime number example is just one of many simple questions that Cheng poses in the book to motivate deep dives into the logical foundations of mathematics: Why does 1+1=2 Why does-(-1)=1 Why does 2÷4=4+2 And, yes, is math real Cheng’s answers to those questions touch not only on our understanding of mathematics itself, but also on her personal experiences with math education as both student and teacher.
9.What is Eugenia Cheng’s latest book about
A.The influence math has on life. B.Some confusing math problems.
C.Ways to cultivate kids’ creative thinking. D.The exploration of the truths of math.
10.What is implied about math classes
A.They ignore the spirit of inquiry. B.They overemphasize patterns.
C.They are too hard for students. D.They provide further guidance.
11.What is a feature of Is Math Real according to the text
A.It is packed with simple questions. B.It is intended for mathematicians.
C.It centers on the prime numbers. D.It adopts a conversational tone.
12.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A.To urge readers to value math. B.To present a math theory.
C.To review and recommend a good read. D.To support the viewpoint of a book.

(24-25高三上·山东济南·期末)Robots are separated into two parts: the brain and the body. An AI brain can help run the traffic system of a city, but many robots still struggle to open a door — why is that
“Software has advanced rapidly in recent years, but hardware has not kept up. Currently, all robots rely on electricity and software to function. The robotic brain composed of software translates information to the body or hardware through an encoder (编码器), which then performs an action,” said Dr Antonio Forte, a senior lecturer in engineering at King’s College London.
To overcome this, Forte’s team developed a circuit by integrating liquid-based circuits with an adjustable valve (阀) placed within a robot’s hardware. This valve acts like a switch in a normal circuit and engineers can send signals directly to hardware using variations in pressure from liquid inside, allowing the robot to perform complex tasks without the need for electricity or instruction from the central brain. This leads robots to function independently in challenging environments, such as low-income countries that do not have reliable access to electricity.
Independent from the software running it, the advanced hardware system carries the majority of computational load by itself. This opens up the possibility of a new generation of robots, whose bodies could operate independently of their built-in control center, with this space potentially being used instead for more complex AI-powered software, and consequently they can be more aware of their social context, which provides for a new kind of robotics in places like social care and mass production.
“Ultimately, without investment in such field robots will stay at a certain level after a period of growth. Soon, if we do not offload the computational tasks that modern-day robots take on, computing improvements will have little impact on their performance. The work is just a first step on this path, but the future holds smarter robots with smarter bodies,” Mostafa Mousa, a post-graduate researcher at King’s College London, commented.
13.What is holding back the development of robots nowadays
A.Backward hardware. B.High electricity cost.
C.Low-speed encoders. D.Complex calculations.
14.How does the valve function in a robot
A.It translates information. B.It adjusts liquid pressure.
C.It sends electrical signals. D.It powers robots’ brains.
15.What sets the new generation of robots apart from others
A.Autonomy with adaptability. B.Resistance to physical damage.
C.Understanding of users’ likes. D.Capability to control softwares.
16.What does Mousa think of the work of Forte’s team
A.Eventful. B.Doubtful. C.Promising. D.Dismissive.

(24-25高三上·新疆乌鲁木齐·阶段练习)Many of us want to live long, happy and healthy lives. Yet it’s often confusing to know the best way to achieve this, and many aspects of modern living keep us from achieving this goal.
The solution may be to step back in time. Research shows that many of the health problems that trouble modern society are not common among hunter-gatherer societies of both past and present day. This suggests there’s much we can learn from hunter-gatherers to improve our lives.
Hunter-gatherers know the best strategy for survival is connecting and staying together. With limited resources, they are egalitarian (平等主义的) by nature. Each member contributes and shares equally. Actually, living in communities creates close relationships and a strong social support network. And close relationships are key drivers of health and happiness across our lifespan.
Hunter-gatherers eat what nature and the land offer. This at times can be insufficient, requiring periods of fasting (禁食), and their diets primarily consist of plant-based foods that are readily available. Many studies have shown that plant-based diets and fasting can have many benefits for health. For example, research on people living in so-called “blue zones” — the areas that have unusually high life expectancies — suggests their plant-based diets may contribute to their long lifespans. Periodie fasting helps reduce calorie intake and can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
Hunter-gatherers evolved to move. Their nomadic (游牧的) lifestyle of hunting and searching for food means they consistently cover distances from 6 to 16 kilometers daily. But modern lifestyles are far more inactive, and many of us consume more calories each day than we use, which leads to weight gain. To address this imbalance, we need to move more and move how hunter-gatherers do. It is recommended that adults get at least 150-300 minutes of medium-intensity activity or at least 75-150 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week. While this isn’t quite as much movement as hunter-gatherers get daily, it will still improve fitness and muscle strength.
17.The first two paragraphs indicate that the hunter-gatherer lifestyle .
A.helps us achieve life goals B.drives us back to ancient times
C.guarantees people’s long life D.offers an inspiration for modern living
18.What contributes most to the survival of hunter-gatherers
A.Tight social bonds. B.Material possessions.
C.Individual contributions. D.Technological advances.
19.Which factor plays a role in extending people’s lifespan in“blue-zones”
A.A nomadic life. B.Plant-based diets.
C.Calorie-rich food. D.Convenient medical care.
20.What does the underlined word “vigorous” mean in paragraph 5
A.Fierce. B.Mild. C.Relaxing. D.Regular.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了我们可以从狩猎采集者的生活方式中学到的健康生活方式。
17.推理判断题。由第二段中“Research shows that many of the health problems that trouble modern society are not common among hunter-gatherer societies of both past and present day. This suggests there’s much we can learn from hunter-gatherers to improve our lives. (研究表明,困扰现代社会的许多健康问题在过去和现在的狩猎采集社会中并不常见。这表明我们可以从狩猎采集者身上学到很多东西来改善我们的生活)”可知,狩猎采集者的生活方式为现代健康生活提供了启示。故选D项。
18.细节理解题。由第三段中“Hunter-gatherers know the best strategy for survival is connecting and staying together. (狩猎采集者知道生存的最佳策略是联系并保持在一起)”和“Actually, living in communities creates close relationships and a strong social support network. And close relationships are key drivers of health and happiness across our lifespan (事实上,生活在社区中可以建立亲密的关系和强大的社会支持网络。亲密的关系是我们一生中健康和幸福的关键驱动力)”可知,紧密的社会关系有助于狩猎采集者的生存。故选A项。
19.细节理解题。由第四段中“For example, research on people living in so-called “blue zones” — the areas that have unusually high life expectancies — suggests their plant-based diets may contribute to their long lifespans. (例如,对生活在所谓的“蓝色地带”(预期寿命异常高的地区)的人的研究表明,他们的植物性饮食可能有助于延长寿命)”可知,在“蓝色地带”延长人们寿命的因素是植物性饮食。故选B项。
20.词句猜测题。由第五段中“But modern lifestyles are far more inactive, and many of us consume more calories each day than we use, which leads to weight gain.
