C Plants produce juicy.sweet fruit with seeds inside so that birds and fruit-eating mammals are attracted into taking a bite.Then,these animals fly or roam far and wide and,once they've digested their meal,excrete()the seeds together with the rest of their waste.In doing so,these hungry animals help plants,which can't move.to travel and spread their seeds across a wider range. This is at the base of how hundreds of ecosystems work and has been since the dawn of time.However,a growing body of research is starting to suggest that mammals and birds are far from the only ones shaping how seeds travel and spread plant life to new parts of the world..Tiny insects and invertebrates(无脊椎动物)play a crucial role,too. Ants are perhaps the most well-known seed-spreading insects.They spread seeds from particular plants.The ants carry the seed to their nest,eat and throw away the seed,either by carrying it to the surface or placing it into 'ubbish piles deep underground,according to Prof Ellen Simms,a biologist at the University of California. Other insects are thought to help spread seeds by excreting them,like mammals and birds.er-example,centimetre-long woodlice eat the small fruits of an Asian plant.Then,they excrete over 30 percent of the dust-like seeds still whole enough to take root in the soil and grow,according to research published in the journal People, Plants,Planet earlier this year.These tiny invertebrates set a new record for the smallest and lightest animals to participate in seed spread after intake. Similarly,Japanese camel crickets()eat and excrete the seeds of a leafy Asian shrub,according to a new study published last month.The plant,found along moist,shaded forests,has small and rounded fruits containing thousands of tiny seeds.Once the fruits fall to the ground,the crickets chew forcefully and then excreto pellets with more than 78 percent of the seeds whole and ready to grow. This is the first evidence of insects acting as seed-spreaders for a light- 高二英语试卷第6页（共12页） harvesting,green plants in regions where land-dwelling mammals are also present to do the job.This challenges the long-held idea that the spread of seeds by insects is a special case-their role may be much more widespread and ecologically important dian previously understood. 28.The author mentions ants and other insects to A.explain how they holp spread seeds B.contrast with othor animals in spreading seeds C.introduce several tiny insects and invertebrates D.highlight the ecological importance of these specific insects 29.What illustrative method does the author use in this passage? A.Examples and research findings. B.Direct statement without evidence. C.Personal opinions and experiences. D.Comparative analysis of different theories. 30.What can we infer from the passage? A.There should be less research into seed spread by insects. B.Insects play a less important role than mammals and birds. C.Insects are more widespread in seed-spread than we realize. D.Land-dwelling mammals are more effective than insects at spreading seeds. D One of the primary benefits of AI chatbots in mental health care is their enhanced accessibility and ability to provide immediate support.Traditional mental health services often require appointments,which can involve long waiting periods.In contrast,AI chatbots are always on standby 24/7.offering instant support regardless of the time or location.This constant availability can be especially beneficial during moments of crisis,providing users with immediate assistance and resources. AI chatbots also have a global reach,making mental health support accessible to individuals in remote or underserved areas.According to the World Health Organization,there is a significant shortage of mental health professionals, particularly in low-and middle-income countries.AI chatbots can help bridge this gap by offering support to those without access to mental health care. Mental health discredit remains a significant barrier to seeking help.Many individuals avoid reaching out to mental health professionals due to fear of judgment 高二英语试卷第7页（共12页） or embarrassment.AI chatbots offer a private and anonymous (space for users to express their feelings and thoughts without fear of judgment.This anonymity can encourage more individuals to seek help and engage in conversations about their mental health,potentially leading to earlier intervention and better outcomes. Research supports the concept that anonymity provided by chatbots can reduce discredit.A study by Smith and Anderson found that individuals are more likely to discuss private issues when they feel their identity is protected.This can be particularly important for vulnerable populations who may be hesitant to seek help from human therapists due to social or cultural discredit. Despite their advantages;Al chatbots have metable limitations,particularly their ability to provide delicate emotional support.Mental health issues are complex and deeply personal,often requiring a level of empathy and understanding that AI currently cannot copy.While chatbots can offer essential support and information, they lack the emotional intelligence to fully grasp the user's delicate emotions and experiences.This can result in responses that may seem generic or inappropriate, failing to effectively meet the user's needs. Privacy and data security concerns are another significant challenge.Users share sensitive and personal information with these applications,and there is always a risk that this data could be hacked.Data leaks or misuse of information could have severe consequences for users,potentially worsening their mental health issues. Lastly,there is a risk that individuals may become overly reliant on chatbots for their mental health needs,potentially neglecting the importance of seeking professional help.Chatbots are not equipped to diagnose or treat severe mental health conditions,and relying only on them could lead to missed diagnoses and inadequate treatment. 31.What makes AI chatbots different from traditional mental health services? A.They can offer more professional advice. B.They are always available for their users. C.They can reduce discussing the sensitive issues. D.They contribute to the development of mental health professionals. 32.What does the word "vulnerable"underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A.High-risk. B.Careful. C.Serious. D.Sensitive. 高二英语试卷第8页（共12页） 33.What can be inferred about mental health care? A.AI chatbots can fully grasp the user's emotions. B.Chatbot users should be concerned about privacy and data security. C.Mental health professionals will be replaced by chatbots in the future. D.Traditional mental health services make users likely to share their real feelings. 34.Which would be the best title for the passage? A.The Future of Mental Health Care:AI Chatbots B.Traditional Mental Health Services vs.AI Chatbots C.Overcoming Mental Health Discredit with AI Chatbots D.AI Chatbots for Mental Health:Opportunities and Limitations 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分）】 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项，并在 答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Music is one of the most enjoyablo human experiences.Music is an ever-present companion to people's everyday lives.35 We listen to music and experience emotions in the absence of any events causing us to feel joy,sadness,or excitement. Over the past several decades,scholars have proposed several purposes that listening to music might fulfill. The key reason people listen to music lies in the reward center of the brain. Listening to pleasurable music activates areas of the reward system.Musical pleasure arises when a pattern is interrupted in some way.Listeners experience strong emotions when something unexpected happens.36 About 2 percent of the general population don't feel this way.This inability to get pleasure specifically from music has been called tone-deafness. 37 Music distracts our minds from the outside world.The use of music as background entertainment serves to get us into a positive mood or to become more alert.Music can relax the body because brain waves are able to go with the rhythm of a song.People's moods can reflect what they choose to listen to.Fast or energetic music may make people feel alert and pumped,while slow music calms them down. Music is also one of the strongest means for arousing feelings of nostalgia(). Listening to music that was played a lot during a significant life event (e.g.,a family 高二英语试卷第9页（共12页） celebration)many years ago can trigger a deeply nostalgic emotional experience. 38 Maybe we have just come to hear a particular song as sad because we have learned to associate it with an experience of loss. People can use music to express their identity and values to others.Music helps us to show that we belong to a given social group.For example,listening to innovative music can serve to communicate the belief that one is creative and unconventional. 39 A.So music is part of who we are. B.Music provides a means of escape. C.We use music to connect with our inner selves. D.Music can serve as a reminder to show brain waves E.The feeling is not the music,but in what it reminds us. F.Music can change our mood,emotions,motivation,and movement. G.However,not everyone experiences intense emotional responses to music. 第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分）》 第一节（共4小题，第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）】 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Salary is often an important consideration when applying for and choosing a job. People often weigh their financial needs against jobs that might fulfill their passions in different industries.Learning about these two factors to consider when pursuing a career can help you decide if one might be more important for your professional and personal life. A significant benefit of a high-paying job is that you'll likely have more money for things you want and need.Because employers may distribute compensation differently,you may have more or less money at certain times of the year.Still,a job that pays well can help you afford necessities like house and car payments,food and utility bills. Aside from paying for usual wants and needs,a job with a high salary can provide you with extra monetary security in case of emergencies.If you have extra income from a high-paying job,you can put it into a savings account that can help 高二英语试卷第10页（共12页）
