提高‑1【2020｜全国乙卷 阅读D｜艺术对大脑认知的积极作用｜科普说明文｜312词】
英文原文
Art is often considered a form of entertainment or personal hobby, but numerous scientific studies have proven that art activities have a profound positive impact on human brain cognition. Participating in artistic creation and appreciation can effectively improve people’s comprehensive cognitive abilities.
First of all, art promotes the development of brain nerves. When people appreciate paintings, listen to music or create artworks, multiple areas of the brain will be activated simultaneously. This multi-dimensional brain activity enhances the connection between nerve cells, improves memory and concentration, and makes people’s thinking more flexible and agile.
In addition, art helps improve creative thinking. Different from rigid knowledge learning which focuses on fixed answers, art has no standard conclusion. It encourages people to break inherent thinking modes, exert imagination and express unique opinions. Long-term exposure to art can greatly cultivate divergent thinking and innovation ability.
Moreover, art relieves mental pressure and optimizes cognitive state. Modern people are faced with fierce competition and heavy pressure, which easily leads to mental fatigue and slow thinking. Art appreciation and creation can soothe emotions, relax the brain, and help people maintain a positive and efficient cognitive state.
To sum up, art is not a dispensable pastime. It is an important way to exercise brain function and improve cognitive level. Integrating art into daily life is beneficial to people’s mental and intellectual development.

艺术常被视作一种娱乐方式或个人爱好，但大量科学研究证实，艺术活动对人类大脑认知具有深远的积极影响。参与艺术创作与艺术鉴赏，能够有效提升人的综合认知能力。
首先，艺术促进大脑神经发育。人们欣赏绘画、聆听音乐或进行艺术创作时，大脑多个区域会同时被激活。这种多维的脑部活动，能够强化神经细胞间的联结，提升记忆力与专注力，让思维更加灵活敏捷。
此外，艺术有助于培养创造性思维。不同于追求固定答案的刻板知识学习，艺术没有标准答案，它鼓励人们打破固有思维模式，发挥想象力、表达独特观点。长期接触艺术，能极大锻炼发散思维与创新能力。
同时，艺术能够缓解精神压力、优化认知状态。现代人面临激烈的竞争与繁重的压力，极易产生精神疲惫、思维迟缓等问题。艺术鉴赏与创作可以舒缓情绪、放松大脑，帮助人们保持积极高效的认知状态。
总而言之，艺术并非可有可无的消遣，而是锻炼大脑机能、提升认知水平的重要途径。将艺术融入日常生活，有益于人们的心智与智力发展。

英文原文
Skateboarding was once regarded as a rebellious and niche sport, but in recent years, it has gradually gained wide recognition and become a popular sport among teenagers. Far more than a simple physical exercise, skateboarding plays an irreplaceable role in helping teenagers shape personality and build social bonds.
Skateboarding is a sport full of challenges. Every new movement requires repeated attempts and constant adjustments. Teenagers often fall down again and again during practice, but they learn to stand up bravely and keep trying. This process cultivates their perseverance, courage and the spirit of never giving up, helping them break through self-limitation and become more confident and tough.
Besides personal growth, skateboarding also enables teenagers to gain a strong sense of belonging. Skateboarders form a unique social group where people share the same hobbies, encourage each other and make progress together. In this positive community, teenagers can make like-minded friends, express themselves freely and get rid of loneliness and inferiority.
With skateboarding entering the Olympic Games, this sport has gained more positive social attention. It teaches teenagers that growth is accompanied by challenges, and every breakthrough comes from persistent efforts. It is not only a sport, but also a spiritual guide for young people to grow up bravely and pursue excellence.

提高‑3【2023｜新高考I卷 阅读D｜生态机器：自然系统治理污染、守护环境｜科普说明文｜334词】
英文原文
Traditional pollution treatment usually relies on mechanical and chemical technologies, which are not only costly but also may cause secondary pollution. To solve this problem, ecologist John Todd put forward a creative environmental protection concept: ecological machines, which use natural ecosystems to purify polluted water and repair damaged environments.
Ecological machines are artificially constructed simulated natural ecosystems, consisting of plants, microorganisms and aquatic animals. Different from industrial purification equipment, they work completely following natural laws. Plants absorb harmful substances in the water, microorganisms decompose pollutants, and aquatic animals further optimize the water environment. The whole purification process is green, safe and pollution-free.
This ecological technology has obvious advantages. Firstly, it greatly reduces the cost of environmental governance, requiring no expensive chemical reagents and complex mechanical equipment. Secondly, it can achieve long-term and stable environmental repair. Artificial equipment may age and fail, while natural ecosystems can operate sustainably with proper maintenance.
Most importantly, ecological machines realize the harmonious coexistence between human and nature. They do not destroy the original ecological balance, but restore and activate the vitality of nature. This innovative environmental protection model provides a new idea for global ecological governance, proving that nature itself is the best environmental protector.

传统污染治理大多依赖机械、化工技术，不仅成本高昂，还可能造成二次污染。为解决这一难题，生态学家约翰·托德提出了极具创新性的环保理念——生态机器，依托自然生态系统净化污水、修复受损环境。
生态机器是人工构建的模拟自然生态系统，由植物、微生物和水生动物共同组成。它与工业净化设备截然不同，完全遵循自然规律运作：植物吸收水体中的有害物质，微生物分解污染物，水生动物进一步优化水环境，整个净化过程绿色安全、零污染。
这项生态技术优势显著。第一，大幅降低环境治理成本，无需昂贵的化学试剂与复杂的机械设备；第二，能够实现长期稳定的环境修复，人工设备会老化故障，而自然生态系统经合理维护，可可持续运作。
最为重要的是，生态机器实现了人与自然的和谐共生。它不会破坏原有生态平衡，反而能修复并激活自然活力。这一创新环保模式，为全球生态治理提供了全新思路，印证了大自然本身就是最好的环境守护者。
提高‑4【2024｜全国甲卷 阅读D｜摒弃极端节食，树立科学适度饮食观｜议论文｜314词】
英文原文
In modern society, the pursuit of a slim figure has made extreme dieting a common phenomenon among young people. Many people blindly reduce food intake, skip meals and reject all high-calorie foods in order to lose weight quickly. However, extreme dieting is not only ineffective in long-term weight management but also extremely harmful to physical and mental health.
Extreme dieting breaks the normal metabolic rule of the human body. Long-term insufficient food intake will lead to malnutrition, decreased immunity, poor mental state and physical fatigue. Worse still, blind dieting will disrupt endocrine balance, causing a series of physical problems. Meanwhile, excessive pursuit of weight loss will bring huge psychological pressure, easily leading to anxiety and inferiority.
Scientific weight management never equals extreme dieting. The core of healthy diet is moderation and balance. It is necessary to ensure adequate intake of protein, vitamins and trace elements, while properly controlling high-sugar and high-fat foods. Matching reasonable diet with regular exercise is the only effective way to keep fit.
We should abandon the wrong concept of extreme weight loss. Physical health is the most precious wealth. Instead of pursuing a thin figure blindly, we should develop healthy living habits, maintain a balanced diet and positive attitude, and embrace a healthy and vibrant life state.
中文译文
现代社会中，对苗条身材的追求，让极端节食在年轻人中愈发普遍。很多人为快速减重，盲目减少进食、跳过正餐、杜绝一切高热量食物。但极端节食不仅无法实现长期体重管理，还会对身心健康造成极大危害。
极端节食打破了人体正常的新陈代谢规律。长期进食不足，会引发营养不良、免疫力下降、精神萎靡、身体疲惫等问题。更严重的是，盲目节食会扰乱内分泌平衡，诱发各类身体疾病。同时，过度追求减重会带来巨大心理压力，极易引发焦虑、自卑等负面情绪。
科学的体重管理从来不等同于极端节食，健康饮食的核心是适度与均衡。日常需保证蛋白质、维生素、微量元素的充足摄入，同时合理管控高糖、高脂食物，搭配规律运动，这才是保持身材、强健体魄的唯一有效方式。
我们应当摒弃极端减重的错误观念，身体健康是最宝贵的财富。不必盲目追求纤瘦体态，养成健康的作息饮食、保持心态平和，方能拥有活力满满的健康生活。
提高‑5【2025｜全国II卷 阅读D｜杜绝食物浪费，践行绿色生活理念｜议论文｜346词】
英文原文
Food waste has become a global social problem that cannot be ignored. Every year, tons of edible food are discarded in restaurants, families and canteens, while millions of people around the world suffer from hunger and food shortage. This sharp contrast makes it urgent to advocate saving food and resisting waste.
Many people hold the wrong view that food waste is a trivial personal matter and will not affect social development. In fact, food waste causes huge social and economic losses. The production of food requires a large amount of land, water and labor resources. Wasting food means wasting precious natural resources and social labor. Moreover, discarded food will produce harmful gases during decomposition, aggravating environmental pollution.
Some chefs have taken the lead in responding to this problem. They creatively turn food scraps and leftover ingredients into delicious dishes, turning waste into treasure. Their practice not only reduces food waste effectively, but also conveys a positive environmental concept to the society.
Saving food is not a temporary initiative, but a long-term social responsibility. It requires the joint efforts of every individual. We should develop good eating habits, order food rationally, refuse extravagant consumption, and start from small details in daily life. Only when everyone practices thrift and resists waste can we effectively alleviate resource pressure and promote sustainable social development.
中文译文
食物浪费已成为不容忽视的全球性社会问题。每年，大量可食用食物被丢弃在餐厅、家庭和食堂中，而全球仍有数百万人口饱受饥饿、粮食短缺的困扰。这一鲜明对比，让倡导节约粮食、杜绝浪费变得刻不容缓。
很多人存在认知误区，认为食物浪费是个人小事，不会影响社会发展。事实上，食物浪费会造成巨大的社会经济损失。粮食生产需要耗费大量土地、水源与人力，浪费粮食就是浪费宝贵的自然资源和社会劳动力。此外，废弃食物在分解过程中会产生有害气体，加剧环境污染。
不少厨师率先响应节约号召，创新烹饪方式，将食材边角料、剩余食材做成美味佳肴，真正变废为宝。他们的做法不仅有效减少了食物浪费，更向社会传递了绿色环保的正向理念。
节约粮食绝非一时的倡议，而是长久的社会责任，需要每个人共同努力。我们应养成良好饮食习惯，理性点餐、杜绝铺张浪费，从日常小事践行节约。唯有人人厉行节俭、抵制浪费，才能有效缓解资源压力，推动社会可持续发展。
