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 (彩票) — 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 (治疗师). They were everything.” Rakiya wanted to give their lottery winnings to Officer Moss’s family. Her mom readily agreed. On July 10, Sims called the police and made an anonymous (匿名的) 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 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. 4. What does the underlined word “windfall” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Devoted effort. B. Poor times. C. Unexpected money. D. Lucky days. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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. Hardship makes a man wise. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了Shetara Sims母女捡到钱买彩票中奖后，将奖金匿名捐给受伤警察家庭，后获警方帮助的暖心故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“So they bought a lottery ticket (彩票) — and won $100.(于是她们买了一张彩票——并赢得了 100 美元)”和第三段中“But before they could spend their windfall, Rakiya had an idea.(但在他们能够花掉这笔windfall之前，Rakiya有了一个想法)”可知，她们买彩票赢得了100美元，所以windfall指的是“意外之财”。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Rakiya and her mother had never forgotten how kind the police had been after their own family member was attacked.(Rakiya和她的母亲从未忘记，在她们的家人遭到袭击后，警察是多么的善良。)”以及“Rakiya wanted to give their lottery winnings to Officer Moss’s family. Her mom readily agreed.(Rakiya想把她们的彩票奖金捐给Moss警官的家人。她妈妈欣然同意了。)”可知，对过去警察善意的感激让Sims母女决定捐赠彩票奖金。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“On July 10, Sims called the police and made an anonymous (匿名的) 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.(7月10日，Sims联系警方，进行了匿名捐款。被她的慷慨行为所感动，警察们发挥出了他们最擅长的本领——他们找到了Sims。当她说明捐款缘由后，警方难以置信。)”可知，警察在捐赠后追踪Sims是为了找到真相。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第三段中“Rakiya wanted to give their lottery winnings to Officer Moss’s family. Her mom readily agreed.(Rakiya想把她们的彩票奖金捐给Moss警官的家人。她妈妈欣然同意了。)”和最后一段中“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.”(此时，这种支持的感觉是相互的。警方为Sims和她的女儿设立了“GoFundMe”页面，他们将她们称为“心地善良的女人”。)”可知，Sims自己家境困难仍坚持捐出中奖奖金帮助受伤警官，她的善举反过来收获了更多人的帮助，印证了“善有善报”。 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 autonomously moved toward the target. The researchers systematically varied how long the movement lasts across six levels, ranging from 125 milliseconds (毫秒) to 4 seconds. 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 AI 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. 8. How did the new research study prosthetics? A. By detecting biosignals from users’ muscles. B. By focusing on conventional control methods. C. By using virtual reality to create the illusion of a robotic arm. D. By asking participants to wear real prosthetic arms. 9. What can we learn about the study results? A. Faster prosthetic movement leads to stronger body ownership. B. Natural movement 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. 10. What might 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. 11. What does the follow-up study focus on? A. Frequencies of using prosthetics. B. Improvement of arm appearance. C. Complete replacement of human arms. D. Effects of the daily use on users’ feeling. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一项关于用户是否会真正将义肢认同为自己身体的一部分的研究，研究结果推翻了“高速是义肢设计核心指标”的原有认知。研究同时指出，AI发展让自主/半自主运动的义肢成为可能，但用户对自主运动的义肢容易产生疏离、不适感，这是义肢普及的重大障碍。研究团队后续计划探索长期日常使用义肢对用户感知的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“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.(而这一次，研究人员利用虚拟现实技术营造出一种错觉，即参与者的生物手臂已被机器人假肢所取代)”可知，研究人员用虚拟现实营造出参与者的原生手臂被机械义肢替换的错觉来开展实验。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“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.(这些发现挑战了“高速度是义肢设计中衡量质量的最重要指标”这一假设，而是表明自然的运动节奏对于用户接受度至关重要)”可知，研究结果推翻了“高速是义肢设计最重要的质量指标”的假设，证明自然的运动节奏才是用户接受义肢的关键，即自然的运动时机比高速更重要。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“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.(然而，当义肢独立移动时，用户可能会觉得这种感觉“不自然”或“不属于我的身体”。这种反应对假肢的广泛接受构成了重大障碍)”可知，对自主移动的义肢感到不安是义肢被广泛接受的重大阻碍。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“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.(展望未来，研究团队计划探究长期使用如何改变人们的认知。人们通常会开始将经常使用的工具视为身体的一部分。随着持续的日常使用，即使是快速且功能强大的机器人假肢也可能开始感觉正常、更容易操作，并更像自己身体的一部分。)”可知，后续研究的重点是日常使用对用户感受的影响。 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 in 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.” 12. 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. The low awareness of mental illnesses. 13. What is the purpose of Bratman’s conceptual model? A. To help decide on environmental issues. B. To show benefits of nature for mental health. C. To seek medical treatment for mental illnesses. D. To replace traditional urban planning methods. 14. What should be considered in environmental projects according to the model? A. 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. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Mental Health Crisis: More Green Spaces Needed B. Mental Illness Treatment: A Global Challenge C. Happiness Measurement: Studies in Urban Parks D. Nature and Well-being: A New Tool for City Planners 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍研究证实自然有益心理健康，并提出相关模型供城市规划使用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“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.(但要为那些希望将自然融入城市以改善心理健康的城市或组织找到一种有用的方式来量化这些益处，一直是个难题)”可知，规划者在使用自然改善心理健康方面面临的挑战是难以量化其益处。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““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 in his study.(华盛顿大学助理教授Greg Bratman在自己的研究中提出了这样一个概念模型，并表示：“在规划如何保护自然并将其融入城市的过程中，考虑到自然接触所带来的直接心理健康益处是很重要的。”)”可知，该概念模型的目的是展示大自然对心理健康的益处。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“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(该模型包含四个规划者需要考虑的步骤：项目中包含的自然元素，比如在学校或整个城市范围内；人们与自然接触的频率)”可知，根据这个模型，在环境项目中应该考虑人们接触自然的频率。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其根据第一段中“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.(多项科学研究表明，体验自然有益于人们的心理健康和认知功能。专家们开始认可与自然互动是改善心理健康的一种方式。但是，对于那些希望融入自然以改善心理健康的城市或机构而言，一直难以找到有效的方法来量化这些益处。)”可知，全文围绕“如何量化自然对心理健康的益处”这一难题展开，介绍了研究人员为此构建的一个帮助城市规划者进行环境决策的模型，强调自然与幸福感之间的联系以及为规划者提供的新工具。D选项“自然与健康：城市规划者的新工具”符合文章主旨，是文章的最佳标题。 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 individuals.____16____ 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. ____17____ We struggle to engage in dialogue with people who are 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 to make conversational literacy 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. ____18____ When we have a real, face-to-face conversation and give our full attention, something special happens. ____19____ We unconsciously copy movements and coordinate with one another. Research also shows that our brains can become synchronised (同步) during meaningful conversations. The deeper the conversation, the stronger this connection becomes. You can start building conversational literacy today. ____20____ 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. You can try having family dinner talks without mobile phones in sight. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. C 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了对话深刻影响个人与社交，而当下人们普遍缺乏对话能力。因此我们需培养对话素养，它能优化社交，而真诚的面对面交流更能拉近彼此距离。 【16题详解】 前文“Our conversations define us and shape us as individuals.(我们的交流定义并塑造了我们作为个体的特质和性格。)”指出对话塑造个体，后文提及对话质量与幸福、成功相关。D项“They can create or destroy our social relationships.(它们能创造也能摧毁我们的社交关系。)”中they指代conversations，承接上文对话的重要影响，逻辑连贯。故选D项。 【17题详解】 后文“We struggle to engage in dialogue with people who are 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.(我们很难与与自己不同的人进行对话。当我们别人讲话时，我们往往会忘记倾听，而这正是同理心和合作的基础。我们会在不知情的情况下给出不当的回答。)”列举了人们在对话中遇到的诸多问题（难以与不同的人交流、不会倾听等），F项“Many of us do not understand how to handle a tough conversation.(我们中的许多人并不知道如何处理棘手的对话。)”总起本段，引出下文的具体问题。故选F项。 【18题详解】 上文“For this reason, we urgently need to make conversational literacy 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.(因此，我们迫切需要将交流素养提升为公众关注的议题。这种技能使我们能够更加深思熟虑，并意识到日常交流的力量。它还能帮助我们识别并避免有害的对话。)”本段阐述对话素养带来的益处，C项“Consequently, our social relationship will improve.(因此，我们的社交关系将会得到改善。)”承接前文“避免有害对话”，进一步说明对话素养的积极结果。故选C项。 【19题详解】 后文“We unconsciously copy movements and coordinate with one another.(我们会不自觉地模仿动作并相互协调。)”提到“无意识模仿动作、彼此配合”，A项“Our bodies naturally adjust to each other.(我们的身体会自然而然地适应彼此。)”与肢体动作同步的语境高度契合，符合语境。故选A项。 【20题详解】 前文“You can start building conversational literacy today.(您今天就可以开始培养对话能力了。)”建议开始培养对话素养，后文“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.(进行一场真诚的对话会对家庭中最年幼成员的个人发展和职业发展产生巨大的影响。)”强调家庭对话的意义，G项“You can try having family dinner talks without mobile phones in sight.(你可以尝试在家庭聚餐时不要让手机出现在视线范围内进行交流。)”给出具体可行的做法，衔接上下文。故选G项。 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I can’t say I never imagined getting sick or being in the hospital.

We were asked to create a newspaper about the culture we were studying. 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. “Since you trust me, let me try,” I replied. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I gathered them to discuss how to finish our job. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The real success of our group wasn’t just the A we received. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 I gathered them to discuss how to finish our job. I started by encouraging them to share their thoughts. Linn had a deep understanding of the cultural details, Marsha brought unique insights from her South African background, and Jeremy’s knowledge of Japanese culture was impressive. We divided the tasks based on everyone’s strengths. Every time we met, we communicated actively, and the initial awkwardness gradually turned into a harmonious collaboration. To our surprise, the newspaper we created was graded A. The real success of our group wasn’t just the A we received. It was the friendships we built and the lessons we learned. I got to know Linn, Marsha, and Jeremy beyond my initial impressions. We started hanging out after school, sharing stories from our different cultures. Mrs. Bartlett’s decision taught me not to judge people by their appearance. This project made me realize that diversity can bring unexpected strengths, and stepping out of my comfort zone can lead to wonderful surprises. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Karina原本满心期待与好友同组完成历史课报纸项目，却发现被分到与内向的Linn、新转学的Marsha和说话带日本口音的Jeremy一组。她因无法与朋友合作而委屈落泪，甚至想找老师换组。但老师指出“这个小组需要你”，并鼓励她用心了解组员、发掘他们的潜力，Karina深受触动。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我召集他们讨论如何完成我们的工作。”可知，第一段可描写小组队员的优势，以及作者和小组队员分工合作并取得优异成绩。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们小组的真正成功不仅仅是我们得到了A。”可知，第二段可描写作者认为自己团队取得成功的原因和感悟。 2. 续写线索：分享想法——发现优势——分工合作——获得A——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①分配：divide/allocate ②交流：communicate/interact ③变成：turn into/transform into 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②尴尬：awkwardness/embarrassment 【点睛】【高分句型1】Every time we met, we communicated actively, and the initial awkwardness gradually turned into a harmonious collaboration.(动用了every time引导的时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】This project made me realize that diversity can bring unexpected strengths, and stepping out of my comfort zone can lead to wonderful surprises.(动用了that引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 十堰一中2025-2026学年第二学期期中考试试卷高二英语 考试时间：150分钟 满分: 150分 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

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 (彩票) — 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 (治疗师). They were everything.” Rakiya wanted to give their lottery winnings to Officer Moss’s family. Her mom readily agreed. On July 10, Sims called the police and made an anonymous (匿名的) 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 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. 4. What does the underlined word “windfall” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Devoted effort. B. Poor times. C. Unexpected money. D. Lucky days. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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. Hardship 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 autonomously moved toward the target. The researchers systematically varied how long the movement lasts across six levels, ranging from 125 milliseconds (毫秒) to 4 seconds. 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 AI 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. 8. How did the new research study prosthetics? A. By detecting biosignals from users’ muscles. B. By focusing on conventional control methods. C. By using virtual reality to create the illusion of a robotic arm. D. By asking participants to wear real prosthetic arms. 9. What can we learn about the study results? A. Faster prosthetic movement leads to stronger body ownership. B. Natural movement 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. 10. What might 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. 11. What does the follow-up study focus on? A. Frequencies of using prosthetics. B. Improvement of arm appearance. C. Complete replacement of human arms. D. 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 in 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.” 12. 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. The low awareness of mental illnesses. 13. What is the purpose of Bratman’s conceptual model? A. To help decide on environmental issues. B. To show benefits of nature for mental health. C. To seek medical treatment for mental illnesses. D. To replace traditional urban planning methods. 14. What should be considered in environmental projects according to the model? A. Increasing the number of urban communities. B. Simplifying natural elements in the community. C. Calculating the frequency of people’s nature contact. D.

We were asked to create a newspaper about the culture we were studying. 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. “Since you trust me, let me try,” I replied. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I gathered them to discuss how to finish our job. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The real success of our group wasn’t just the A we received. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
