B Shetara Sims had weathered some tough years.In 2012,her eldest daughter suffered severe injuries during an argument in Kansas City,Missouri.Last year,the single mother lost her job in the hard times.She had only $7 in her pocket as she headed into the grocery store one day last July with her 12-year-old daughter,Rakiya Edmondson. And then luck finally turned Sims'way.She and her daughter found a dollar bill in the parking lot.Maybe this was their day,they told each other.So they bought a lottery ticket ()-and won $100. But before they could spend their windfall,Rakiya had an idea.The news in Kansas City that week had been filled with stories about a police officer,Tyler Moss,who had been shot in the head in the line of duty.He was in critical condition.Rakiya and her mother had never forgotten how kind the police had been after their own family member was attacked."The detectives were really there for us,"Sims says."They came to see my kids.They were fathers,therapists ()They were everything."Rakiya wanted to give their lottery winnings to Utticer Moss's family.Her mom readily agreed. On July 10,Sims called the police ana made an anonymous (donation.Moved by her generous act, the officers did what they do best-they tracked Sims down.When she explained the family's motivation,the officers could hardly believe it."With her current financial hardship,we encouraged her to keep the money,"the 高二英语试卷第3页（共8页） department later explained."She refused,saying the officer's family needed it and police needed to know they were supported." By then,that feeling of support was mutual.The police set up a GoFundMe page for Sims and her daughter, whom they named "The Woman with the Heart of Gold."Their goal was $10,000.By January 11,2021,they had raised 165,405.Even better:Officer Moss,who had a 1 percent chance of survival,is out of the hospital and recovering. 24.What does the underlined word"windfall"in paragraph 3 probably mean?

C As artificial intelligence-powered prosthetic arms become more common,one key question stands out:Will people truly feel that these devices are part of their bodies?To explore this,a group of scientists conducted new research. Traditional prosthetics research has focused on control methods that enable devices to respond accurately to user intentions,often by detecting bio-signals.This time,researchers used virtual reality to create the illusion( that a participant's biological arm had been replaced with a robotic prosthetic.Participants performed reaching tasks while the virtual prosthetic arm automomeusly moved teward the target.Ihe researchers systematically varied how long the movement lasts across six levels,ranging from 125 milliseconds (to 4seconds.After each trial,participants evaluated multiple dimensions including body ownership,sense of agency,usability,and social impressions of the robot. Researchers found that when prosthetic limbs()move at a suitable pace with a movement time of about one second instead of 125 milliseconds,participants report the strongest sense of body ownership and usability. The findings challenge the assumption that high speed is the most important measure of quality in prosthetic design,showing instead that natural movement timing is essential for user acceptance. At the same time,advances in machine learning and Al are opening the door to prosthetic limbs that can act on their own.Future systems may assess a complex situation and provide support through autonomous or semi-autonomous movement.However,when a limb moves independently,users may experience it as "unsettling" or"not part of my body."That reaction poses a significant obstacle to widespread acceptance. Looking ahead,the research team plans to explore how long-term use changes perception.People often begin to experience frequently used tools as if they were part of their body.With continued daily use,even a fast and highly capable robotic limb may start to feel normal,easier to operate,and more like part of one's own body. 28.How did the new research study prosthetics? A..By detecting biosignals from users'muscles. B.By focusing on conventional control methods. 高二英语试卷第4页（共8页） C.By using virtual reality to create the illusion of a robotic arm. D.By asking participants to wear real prosthetic arms. 29.What can we learn about the study results? A.Faster prostheric movement leads to stronger body ownership. B.Naturarmovement timing matters more than high speed. C.Users prefer prosthetics that act completely on their own D.The sense of agency is unrelated to movement speed. 30.What muignt be a challenge for the acceptance of prosthetic limbs? A High cost of production. B.Complexity of the system. C.Unease about self-moving limbs. D Lack of advanced technology. 31.What does the follow-up study focus on? A.Frequencies of using prosthetics. Improvement of arm appearance. C.Compiete replacement of human arms. B Effects of the daily use on users'feeling. D Almost one in five adults in the US lives with a mental illness.A number of scientific studies have shown that nature experiences may benefit people's psychological well-being and cognitive (function.Experts are starting to recognize interacting with nature as one way to impreve mental health!But it has been difficult to find ways to quantify these benefits in a useful manner for cities or organizations that want to integrate nature to improve mental health. "Thinking about the direct mental health benefits that nature contact provides is important to take into account when planning how to conserve nature and integrate it into our cities,"says Greg Bratman,an assistant professor at the University of Washington,offers a conceptual model for this mn his study. The study outlines how city planners,landscape architects,developers,and others could eventually anticipate the mental health impacts of decisions.related to the environment.Many governments already consider this with regard to other aspects of human health.For example,srees planted in cities improve air quality or reduce urban heat island effects,and parks built in specific neighborhoods encourage physical activity.But these actions don't usually directly factor in the mental health benefits that trees or a restored park might provide. Then researchers built a model to help make meaningful,informed decisions abous envirenmental projects and how they may impact mental'health.It includes four steps for planners to consider:elements of nature included in a project,say at a school or across the whole city;amount of contact people will have with nature; how people interact with nature;and how people may benefit from those interactions,based on the latest scientific evidence. "If the evidence shows that nature contact helps to buffer (against negative impacts from other environmental predictors of health,then access to these landscapes can be considered a matter of environmental justice.We hope this framework will contribute to this discussion,"Bratman says."Eventually,it could be developed and potentially used to help address health inequalities in underserved communities." 32.What shallenges planners in using nature to improve mental health? A.The high cost of green space projects. B.The difficulty in measuring the benefits. C.The lack of seientific studies on nature. D.The fow awareness of mental illnesses. 33.What is the purpose of Bratman's conceptual model? A.To help deciae on environmental issues. To show benefits of nature for mental health. C.To seek medical treatment for mental illnesses.D.To replace traditional urban planning methods. 高二英语试卷第5页（共8页） 34.What should be considered in environmental projects according to the model? Increasing the number of urban communities.B.Simplifying natural elements in the community. C.Calculating the frequency of people's nature contact.D.Giving people advice on how to interact with nature. 35.Which of the following is the best tthe for the passage? A.Mental Headth Erisis:More Green Spaces Needed Mental Illness Treatment:A Global Challenge Happiness Measurement:Studies in Urban Parks D.Nature and Well-being:A New Tool for City Planners 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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Our conversations define us and shape us as individuals36 Just as an expert says,"The quality of our conversations is directly tied to our personal happiness,and to our social and professional success."While issues like nutrition have become a public health priority,we know very little about the extraordinary human capacity-conversational abilities. 37 We struggle to engage in dialogue with people whoare different from us.We forget to listen to others when they speak,which is the bedrock of empathy and cooperation.We give improper responses without knowing it. For this reason,we urgently need te.make conversational competence a matter of public interest.This skill enables us to be more reflective and aware of the power of everyday conversation.It also helps us to identify and avoid harmful conversations.38 When we have a real,face-to-face conversation and give our full attention,something special happens. 39We unconsciously copy movements and keep in step with one another.Research also shows that our brains can become synchronised ()during meaningful conversations.The deeper the conversation,the stronger this connection becomes. You can start building conversational literacy today.40 Engaging in a genuine conversation will have a huge impact on the sucoess and development-both personal and protessional-of the youngest members of the family. A.Our bodies naturalky adjust to each other. B.Everyday conversation comes very natural to us. C.Consequently,our social relationship will improve. D.They can create or destroy our social relationships. E.This enables us to better recognize and express feelings. F.Many of us.do not understand how to handle a tough conversation.

The police set up a GoFundMe page for Sims and her daughter,whom they named" The Woman with the Heart of Gold," Their goal was $10,000. By January 11, 2021, they had raised $165,405. Even better: Officer Moss, who had a 1 percent chance of survival, is out of the hospital and recovering. 24. What does the underlined word" windfall" in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Devoted effort. B. Poor times. C. Unexpected money.D. Lucky days. 25. What made the Sims decide to donate the lottery winnings? A. Desire for public praise. B. Gratitude for past police kindness. C. Hope for financial return. D Sympathy for Officer Moss's family. 26. Why did the police track down Sims after the donation? A. To return the money. B. To help the family. C. To report her in public. D. To find the truth. 27. What can we learn from the story? A. One good turn deserves another. B. Every dog has its day. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Hardgnip makes a man wise. C As artificial intelligence-powered prosthetic (义肢的) arms become more common, one key question stands out: Will people truly feel that these devices are part of their bodies? To explore this, a group of scientists conducted new research. Traditional prosthetics research has focused on control methods that enable devices to respond accurately to user intentions, often by detecting bio-signals. This time, researchers used virtual reality to create the illusion(错觉) that a participant's biological arm had been replaced with a robotic prosthetic. Participants performed reaching tasks while the virtual prosthetic arm autonomiously moved toward the target. Ihe researchers systematically varied how long the movement lasts across six levels, ranging from 125 milliseconds(毫秒) to 4seconds. After each trial, participants evaluated multiple dimensions including body ownership, sense of agency, usability, and social impressions of the robot. Researchers found that when prosthetic limbs(肢) move at a suitable pace with a movement time of about one second instead of 125 milliseconds, participants report the strongest sense of body ownership and usability.The findings challenge the assumption that high speed is the most important measure of quality in prosthetic design, showing instead that natural movement timing is essential for user acceptance. At the same time, advances in machine learning and A₁ are opening the door to prosthetic limbs that can act on their own. Future systems may assess a complex situation and provide support through autonomous or semi-autonomous movement. However, when a limb moves independently, users may experience it as" unsettling"or" not part of my body." That reaction poses a significant obstacle to widespread acceptance. Looking ahead, the research team plans to explore how long-term use changes perception. People often begin to experience frequently used tools as if they were part of their body. With continued daily use, even a fast and highly capable robotic limb may start to feel normal, easier to operate, and more like part of one's own body. 28. How did the new research study prosthetics? A.· By detecting biosignals from users' muscles. B. By focusing on conventional control methods. 高二英语试卷第 4 页(共 8 页) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 C. By using virtual reality to create the illusion of a robotic arm. D. By asking participants to wear real prosthetic arms. 29. What can we learn about the study results? A. Faster prosthetic movement leads to stronger body ownership. B. Naturarmovement timing matters more than high speed. C. Users prefer prosthetics that act completely on their own. D. The sense of agency is unrelated to movement speed. 30. What might 6e a challenge for the acceptance of prosthetic limbs? A High cost of production. B. Complexity of the system. C. Unease about self-moving limbs. D Lack of advanced technology. 31. What does the follow-up study focus on? A. Frequencies of using prosthetics. B Improvement of arm appearance. C. Compete replacement of human arms. B Effects of the daily use on users' feeling. D Almost one in five adults in the US lives with a mental illness. A number of scientific studies have shown that nature experiences may benefit people's psychological well-being and cognitive (认知的) function. Experts are starting to recognize interacting with nature as one way to improve mental health? But it has been difficult to find ways to quantify these benefits in a useful manner for cities or organizations that want to integrate nature to improve mental health. " Thinking about the direct mental health benefits that nature contact provides is important to take into account when planning how to conserve nature and integrate it into our cities," says Greg Bratman, an assistant professor at the University of Washington, offers a conceptual model for this m his study. The study outlines how city planners, landscape architects, developers, and others could eventually anticipate the mental health impacts of decisions related to the environment. Many governments already consider this with regard to other aspects of human health. For example, trees planted in cities improve air quality or reduce urban heat island effects, and parks built in specific neighborhoods encourage physical activity. But these actions don't usually directly factor in the mental health benefits that trees or a restored park might provide. Then researchers built a model to help make meaningful, informed decisions about environmental projects and how they may impact mental' health. It includes four steps for planners to consider: elements of nature included in a project, say at a school or across the whole city; amount of contact people will have with nature;how people interact with nature; and how people may benefit from those interactions, based on the latest scientific evidence. " If the evidence shows that nature contact helps to buffer(缓冲) against negative impacts from other environmental predictors of health, then access to these landscapes can be considered a matter of environmental justice. We hope this framework will contribute to this discussion," Bratman says." Eventually, it could be developed and potentially used to help address health inequalities in underserved communities." 32. What challenges planners in using nature to improve mental health? A. The high cost of green space projects. B. The difficulty in measuring the benefits. C. The lack of scientific studies on nature. D. Thè fow awareness of mental illnesses. 33. What is the purpose of Bratman's conceptual model? A. To help decide on environmental issues. To show benefits of nature for mental health. C. To seek medical treatment for mental illnesses. D. Ta replace traditional urban planning methods. 高二英语试卷第 5 页(共 8 页) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 34. What should be considered in environmental projects according to the model? 微. Increasing the number of urban communities. B. Simplifying natural elements in the community. C. Calculating the frequency of people's nature contact. D. Giving people advice on how to interact with nature. 35. Which of the following, is the best title for the passage? A.

We forget to listen to others when they speak, which is the bedrock of empathy and cooperation. We give improper responses without knowing it. For this reason, we urgently need to make conversational competence a matter of public interest. This skill enables us to be more reflective and aware of the power of everyday conversation. It also helps us to identify and avoid harmful conversations. 38 When we have a real, face-to-face conversation and give our full attention, something special happens.39 We unconsciously copy movements and keep in step with one another. Research also shows that our brains can become synchronised (同步) during meaingful conversations. The deeper the conversation, the stronger this connection becomes. You can start building conversational literacy today. 40 Engaging in a genuine conversation will have a huge impact on the success and development —— both personal and professional —— of the youngest members of the family. A. Our bodies naturally adjust to each other. B. Everyday conversation comes very natural to us. C. Consequently, our social relationship will improve. D. They can create or destroy our social relationships. E. This enables us to better recognize and express feelings. F. Many of us do not understand how to handle a tough conversation. G.

On a piece of paper, we each wrote down the names of three friends we hoped to work with. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B said she would consider our choices and announce the groups the next day. I had no doubt that I would be with my best friend. We had chosen each other. The next day, after the bell rang, Mrs. B called for our attention and started to read out the group lists. When she reached group three, my best friend's name was called, followed by three others—— but not mine. There had to be some mistakes! Then I heard my name in the last group—— with Linn, who always kept to herself. Marsha, who had just transferred to our school from South Africa, and Jeremy. who spoke typical Japanese English! Tears welled up in my eyes. How could I face being in a group with" the invisible"! I just wanted to be with my friends. Fighting back tears, I walked up to Mrs. B She seemed to know what I was going to say. I was determined to convince her I should be in the" good" group." Why?"I started. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder,"I know what you want, Karina," she said," but your group needs you. I'm counting on you to help them do the job well. Only you can." She looked into my eyes and continued," Get to know them, and you might be surprised at what they can do." I was stunned, humbled, and deeply moved." So, will you help them?" she asked."
