Taking initiative,Rita decided to create her own wheelchair ramps ()but with a creative twist.Instead of traditional materials,she began constructing ramps using colorful toy bricks.However,as she started her project,she quickly realized that acquiring enough bricks was a challenge in itself.Many people hold onto their brick collections with fondness. Furthermore,she found that most available sets were not suited for her ramp designs. 细 In a moment of helplessness,she reached out on social media for assistance.To her delight,the response was overwhelming."My first donor asked how many pieces of bricks I would need to finish my very first ramp,"she shared.After estimating that she might need around 1,000 pieces,she was thrilled when he arrived with two large boxes of toy bricks. Since embarking on this heartwarming effort in 2019,Rita has built numerous ramps, earning her the lovely title of“Brick Oma”,or“Brick Grandma'”.Her colorful creations have transformed shops across Hanau,ineluding sweet shops and grocery stores,making them more accessible,one brick at a time. The colorful ramps also serve as a helpful visual cue for those with low vision,signaling 到 an incline ahead.Building a ramp typically takes Rita just three to four hours,and as donations continue to pour in,she is grateful for the support.Her landlord even provided her with extra space to store the growing brick collection. Rita Ebel's journey is a beautiful reminder of the power of community,creativity,and the firm spirit to uplift others.Through her colorful brick ramps,she is not only paving the way for greater accessibility but also spreading happiness and hope throughout her beloved Hanau. 24.What does Rita lay emphasis on? A.Comfort.B.Assistance. C.Independence. D.Adaptation. 奥 25.What initially prevented Rita building her ramps? A.Lack of building materials. B.Trouble in technical knowledge. C.Time-consuming design process. D.High costs of traditional materials. 26.What does the underlined part "embarking on"in paragraph 4 mean? A.Getting around. B.Starting up. C.Sharing in. D.Going over. 27.Which of the following can best describe Rita's ramps? A.Wasteful and expensive. B.Solid and durable. C.Creative and technological. D.Functional and eye-catching. 【高二英语第4页（共10页）】 C The way people express emotions while helping others can influence whether their assistance is welcomed,hated,or..rewarded,according to new:research from Washington State University's Carson College of.Business. “Recipients(受助者)are not passive:;they pick up on emotional signals and use them to infer why someone is helping,said Stephen,Lee,assistant professor of management at Washington State University."If they sense the helper is motivated by self-interest or responsibility,it changes the way they perceive the help and whether they are willing to return the favor..” The findings were based on three studies and a pilot study involving working adults and student participants.Participants were asked to either recall real-world helping experiences, take part in an interactive task in a behavioral lab,or respond to a situation interacting with a coworker.Across all the studies,socially engaging emotions consistently led to perceptions of prosocial(亲社会的)motives,stronger relationships,and greater willingness to reward. For leaders and managers,the study highlights the role of emotional expressions in shaping a culture of cooperation.Rather than encouraging helping behavior for its own sake, Lee recommends fostering a workplace environment where employees feel genuine gratitude for their colleagues and develop a natural sense of sympathy for others'challenges. "Helping that stems from gratitude or concern.for others is more likely to create positive, lasting relationships,"Lee said."If leaders can model those kinds of emotions in how they help their teams,it sets the tone for a more supportive and engaged workplace." At the individual level,employees can also benefit from reflecting on their own experiences of receiving help or by practicing perspective-taking-approaches that naturally foster more authentic emotions and social connections. "When we express genuine gratitude or sympathy,we're not just benefiting ourselves," Lee said."We're strengthening our workplace relationships and building a more resilient culture of cooperation." 28.What can we know about recipients of help? A.They don't care how help is offered. B.They feel it necessary to return the favor. C.They dislike receiving help from strangers. D.They can deteet motives behind the help. 29.What does the study suggest about expressing positive emotions while helping? A.It makes the task easier for the helper. B.It improves the recipient's self-respect. C.It encourages the recipient to help others. D.It reduces the need for direct communication. 30.Why does the author mention perspective-taking? A.To explain why helping is difficult. B.To show how to improve honest emotions. 【高二英语第5页（共10页）】 To prove that employees need more training. To discuss how coworkers can avoid conflicts. hat can be a suitable title for the text? Emotional Expressions Shape How Help Is Received Strengthening Relationship Through Help with Heart Expressing Emotions at Work Determines Productivity Building Bridges Through Genuine Emotional Expression D From mushrooms that cast a soft green glow to plankton(浮游生物)that gives off cling blue,glowing plants are nothing new for nature.Now,scientists are bringing that to houseplants.Reporting in the Cell Press journal Matter on August 27,researchers ed glow-in-the-dark succulents(肉质植物)that recharge in sunlight.Injected with light- ting compounds,the plants can shine in various colors and match a small night light at brightest.The simple,low-cost method may help lay the foundation for sustainable, t-based lighting systems. "Picture the world of science fiction movie Avatar,where glowing plants light up an :e ecosystem,"says first author Shuting Liu of South China Agricultural University."We ted to make that vision possible using materials we already work with in the lab.Imagine ving trees replacing streetlights." Glowing greenery isn't a new idea.Past studies have designed similar plants using genetic .neering.But the glow is often weak and is typically only available in green.The methods e also complex and costly. Instead of changing cells to glow through genetic modification,researchers from South na Agricultural University used afterglow phosphor particles-materials similar hose found in glow-in-the-dark toys.These compounds absorb light and release it slowly r time.For the particles to travel through leaf tissues,the researchers had to get the size t right:around 7 micrometers,roughly the width of a red blood cell. "Smaller particles moved easily within the plant but they had low brightness,"says ding researcher Shuting Liu."Larger particles glowed brighter but couldn't travel far inside :plant.” The glowing succulents'light fades over time,and the team are still studying the long- 'm safety of the materials for the plants.Still,the concept could offer a sustainable ternative for low-intensity lighting in pathways,gardens,or indoor decoration.The team is so exploring how the method can light up plants beyond succulents. 2.What can be inferred about glowing plants in nature? A.They are rarely found in the wild. B.They seldom give out other light but green. C.They are completely artificial creations. D.They have been studied for a long time. 【高二英语第6页（共10页）】 33.How did Shuting Liu introduce her study on.glowing plants? A.By giving examples B.By defining a concept, C.By imagining a scene. D.By providing statistics. 34.What is the main advantage of the new method compared to previous approaches? A.It is simpler and less expensive. B.It produces more colorful light. C.It is more environmentally friendly. D.It suits a wider range of plant species. 35.What should be paid special attention to when choosing phosphor particles? A.Weight. B.Measure. C.Quantity. D.Color. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 选项。 I've been studying attention for several years now,and this statement that the quality your attention determines the quality of your life has become my north star.Here's why believe it's true. Your attention is a filter ()Every moment,you're flooded by information thoughts,feelings,and impulses ()What you focus on,whether by choice or by force becomes your reality.The things you attend to register as targets in your brain and shap your behaviour.36 That's why two people can sit in the same room,experience the same events,yet hav completely different days.One notices the annoyances and frustrations and the things goin wrong.37 It's the same external reality,but very different internal experiences. Concentration really is the foundation of everything meaningful.You can't read deeply listen fully,learn effectively,or connect authentically without the ability to direct an maintain your attention. Most knowledge workers who struggle to be productive think they have time managemer problems.38 You could have all the time in the world,but if your attention is broken constantly controlled by notifications and impulses,that time becomes worthless. 39 And like any skill,it can be trained.Every time you bring your wandering min back to the present task,you're doing a mental exercise.Every time you resist the pull of distraction,you're building strength. In a world where big tech is spending billions upon billions of dollars in tracking an breaking your attention,developing this skill gives you an incredible advantage over others 40 While others are controlled by their impulses,you can choose your focus.When Al i replacing your colleagues,you're doing important creative work that your boss values an can't replace. A.Attention is a skill. B.Everything else fades into background noise. C.Your attention is the most valuable resource you have. 【高二英语第7页（共10页）】 D.I think they aetually have attention management problems. E.The other sees opportunities,moments of beauty and reasons to be grateful. F.While everyone else is drowning in shallow engagement,you can go deep. G.People who can maintain focus report higher life satisfaction and achievement. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 An elderly friend wrote to me recently.She was discouraged about her 41 health.
