How does nature help us? First, sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D, which is important for our mood and immune system (免疫系统).
Just 15 to 20 minutes of sunshine a day can make a big difference. Second, being in green spaces—like parks, forests, or gardens can tell your our stress level. Studies show that people who spend time in nature have lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone in their bodies. Third, natural environments help our brains rest. In cities, our brains are constantly processing noises, traffic, and advertisements. But in nature,our minds can relax and recover.
You don’t need to climb a mountain or camp for a week to get these benefits (好处). Even small amounts of nature can help. Walking in a local park, sitting under a tree, or simply
looking at plants through a window can improve your mood. Some doctors in countries like Japan and South Korea even “prescribe” forest walks for patients (病人) with anxiety or depression.
So, next time you’re feeling stressed or down, try stepping outside. Breathe the fresh air, feel the sun on your face, and listen to the birds. Nature is a free and powerful medicine—and it’s waiting right outside your door.

Maya was born with a condition (状况) that made it difficult for her to use her hands. Simple tasks like writing, buttoning her shirt, or tying her shoes were huge challenges (挑战). When she was young, other kids sometimes stared at her or whispered (低语) behind her back. But Maya never let her condition define her. She had a dream: she wanted to be an artist.
At first, holding a paintbrush was almost impossible. Her hands would shake, and the lines she drew were messy (凌乱). Many people, including some teachers, told her that art might not be the right path for her. They suggested she find something “easier. ” But Maya refused to give up. She practiced every single day. She learned to hold the brush in a special way, using both hands together. Slowly, her lines became steadier (稳定). Her colors became brighter. Her paintings began to express what she felt inside.
When Maya was 15, her art teacher entered one of her paintings into a national

She had won first place. The judges wrote that her painting “showed incredible strength and hope. ” Maya couldn’t believe it. She cried tears of joy.

Technology has changed many things in our lives, but one thing has stayed the same for over 100 years-the white cane (手杖) for blind people. The white cane has been used by blind people for a long time to help them walk safely. However, it never really changed. That was until a blind engineer named Kursat decided to do something about it. He wanted to make a new tool that could help blind people more.
Kursat invented (发明) a smart cane called We Walk. The We Walk cane has a speaker and different sensors inside it. The sensors can feel things around the user and give warnings (警告) about possible danger. Using modern technology, the cane can help blind people find their way more easily. For example, it can tell them where the stairs are or when a bus is coming. The cane costs about 500 dollars. This is much cheaper than most smart phones, so many people can buy it.
Kursat knows the problems that blind people face every day because he is blind himself. “People are talking about flying cars, but blind people are still using a simple cane,” he said. “When I am in a subway station, I don’t know where the exit is. I don’t know which bus is arriving. Now, We Walk can give me all this information. I believe life will become much easier and safer for blind people.” This smart invention is really changing people’s lives for the better.
26. Why did Kursat invent the We Walk cane?
A. To make more money for himself.
B. To help blind people find their way more easily.
C. To win a competition about smart tools.
D. To show that he was a good engineer.
27. What can the We Walk cane do?
A. It can warn users about possible danger.
B. It can help blind people see again.
C. It can call a taxi for the user.
D. It can read books aloud to the user.
28. How much does the We Walk cane cost?
A. About 100 dollars.
B. About 500 dollars.
C. About 1000 dollars.
D. About 1500 dollars.
29. What does Kursat think about the future of blind people with We Walk?
A. He thinks life will be more difficult for them.
B. He thinks they will not need any help anymore.
C. He thinks their lives will become easier and safer.
D. He thinks they should learn to use smartphones.
30. What is the best title for this passage?

C
Technology has changed many things in our lives, but one thing has stayed the same for over 100 years-the white cane (手杖) for blind people. The white cane has been used by blind people for a long time to help them walk safely. However, it never really changed. That was until a blind engineer named Kursat decided to do something about it. He wanted to make a new tool that could help blind people more.
Kursat invented (发明) a smart cane called We Walk. The We Walk cane has a speaker and different sensors inside it. The sensors can feel things around the user and give warnings (警告) about possible danger. Using modern technology, the cane can help blind people find their way more easily. For example, it can tell them where the stairs are or when a bus is coming. The cane costs about 500 dollars. This is much cheaper than most smart phones, so many people can buy it.
Kursat knows the problems that blind people face every day because he is blind himself. “People are talking about flying cars, but blind people are still using a simple cane,” he said. “When I am in a subway station, I don’t know where the exit is. I don’t know which bus is arriving. Now, We Walk can give me all this information. I believe life will become much easier and safer for blind people.” This smart invention is really changing people’s lives for the better.
26. Why did Kursat invent the We Walk cane?
A. To make more money for himself.
B. To help blind people find their way more easily.
C. To win a competition about smart tools.
D. To show that he was a good engineer.
27. What can the We Walk cane do?
A. It can warn users about possible danger.
B. It can help blind people see again.
C. It can call a taxi for the user.
D. It can read books aloud to the user.
28. How much does the We Walk cane cost?
A. About 100 dollars.
B. About 500 dollars.
C. About 1000 dollars.
D. About 1500 dollars.
29. What does Kursat think about the future of blind people with We Walk?
A. He thinks life will be more difficult for them.
B. He thinks they will not need any help anymore.
C. He thinks their lives will become easier and safer.
D. He thinks they should learn to use smartphones.
30. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Life of a Blind Engineer
B. How to Use a White Cane
C. Flying Cars in the Future
D. A Smart Cane That Changes Lives
【答案】26. B 27. A 28. B 29. C 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了盲人工程师Kursat发明的一款名为We Walk的智能手杖,该手杖利用传感器和现代技术帮助盲人感知周围环境、避开危险并获取出行信息,从而让盲人的生活变得更加轻松和安全。
【26题详解】
第一段明确指出:“He wanted to make a new tool that could help blind people more.”,第二段也提到:“Using modern technology, the cane can help blind people find their way more easily.”,说明Kursat发明We Walk手杖的目的是为了帮助盲人更轻松地找到路。
【27题详解】
第二段明确指出:“The sensors can feel things around the user and give warnings (警告) about possible danger.”,说明We Walk手杖可以警告用户可能的危险;B项错误,手杖不能让人复明;C、D项文中未提及。
【28题详解】
第二段明确指出:“The cane costs about 500 dollars.”,说明We Walk手杖的价格大约是500美元。
【29题详解】
第三段末尾明确指出:“I believe life will become much easier and safer for blind people.”,说明Kursat认为有了We Walk,盲人的生活将变得更加轻松和安全。
【30题详解】
全文围绕智能手杖We Walk的发明背景、功能及其对盲人生活的积极影响展开,因此“A Smart Cane That Changes Lives”(一款改变生活的智能手杖)是最合适的标题。
第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)
We all feel stressed sometimes. Stress is a normal part of life, especially for teenagers who have to deal with schoolwork, friendships, and family expectations. A little stress can actually be helpful—it can motivate you to study for a test or prepare for a big event. ____31____
So how can you manage stress in a healthy way? Here are some suggestions.
First, identify what is causing your stress. Is it a difficult subject at school? A problem with a friend? ____32____ Once you know what the problem is, you can start to think about solutions.
Second, talk to someone you trust. Keeping your feelings bottled up inside can make stress worse. ____33____ Sharing your worries with a parent, a teacher, or a good friend can make them feel less overwhelming. Sometimes, just saying things out loud helps you see them more clearly.
Third, take care of your body. Your physical health and mental health are closely connected. Make sure you’re getting enough sleep—teenagers need about 8 to 10 hours a night. Eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water. ____34____ Exercise releases chemicals in your brain that naturally improve your mood.
Fourth, find time to relax and do things you enjoy. ____35____ Whether it’s reading a book, listening to music, playing a sport, or simply taking a walk outside, make sure you have time each day to do something just for you.
A. But too much stress can harm your health and happiness.
B. Sometimes stress comes from not knowing what to expect.
C. Writing down your feelings in a journal can also be helpful.
D. Regular exercise, even just a 20-minute walk, can greatly reduce stress.
E. You don’t have to deal with everything on your own.
F. Different people have different ways of dealing with stress.
G. This doesn’t mean spending hours watching TV or scrolling through social media.
【答案】31. A 32. B 33. E 34. D 35. G
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了青少年面临压力的普遍性,并详细介绍了四种健康应对压力的建议,旨在帮助学生正确管理压力。
【31题详解】
根据前文“A little stress can actually be helpful...”可知,一点压力是有益的,下文说“如何管理压力”,中间空处需要一个转折句,从“压力有益”转向“压力过大有害”,从而引出管理压力的必要性。A项“但太多的压力会损害你的健康和幸福。”自然引出下文。
【32题详解】
根据前文“First, identify what is causing your stress.”和“Is it a difficult subject at school? A problem with a friend?”,询问压力来源并且列举了两个具体的、已知的问题。后文空处需要再补充一个压力来源。B项“有时压力来自不知道会发生什么。”自然承接前文。
【33题详解】
根据前文“Keeping your feelings bottled up inside can make stress worse.”和后文“Sharing...can make them feel less overwhelming.”,前文提到“把情绪憋在心里会让压力更糟”,这是指出“独自承受”的坏处,后文又提到“分享”的好处,中间空处间需要一个过渡句,从“独自承受不好”转向“可以寻求帮助”。E项“你不必独自处理所有事情。”承接前文,引出后文。
【34题详解】
根据前文“Make sure you’re getting enough sleep...Eat healthy foods and drink plenty of water.”和后文“Exercise releases chemicals in your brain that naturally improve your mood.”,前文提到“充足睡眠、健康饮食、多喝水”,后文提到“运动能释放改善情绪的化学物质”,中间空处需要引出“运动”这个话题,共同呼应“照顾好身体”这个话题。D项“定期锻炼,即使是20分钟的散步,也能大大减轻压力。”自然引出后文。
【35题详解】
根据前文“Fourth, find time to relax and do things you enjoy.”和后文“Whether it’s reading a book, listening to music, playing a sport...”,找时间放松,做自己喜欢的事,空处需要解释它的定义,与后文列举的健康活动形成对比补充。G项“这并不意味着花几个小时看电视或浏览社交媒体。”承接前文,引出后文。
三、短文填空(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)

【42题详解】
句意:其中一个朋友回家拿了梯子,学生终于摘到了苹果。根据“home, got a ladder”可知,朋友是“去”家拿梯子,go“去”符合语境,句子时态是一般过去时,此处用过去式went。故填went。
【43题详解】
句意:老师问:“所以,你知道一个人需要多少朋友吗?”根据前文摘苹果的经历可知,此处是问需要多少朋友,need“需要”符合语境,主语“a person”第三人称单数,应该使用第三人称单数形式needs。故填needs。
【44题详解】
句意:你需要尽可能多的朋友。此处是固定搭配“as many…as you can”表示“尽可能多的”,因此使用as。故填as。
【45题详解】
