B Children find comfort and connection playing with dolls that look like them, but until recently, finding diversity when shopping for them has been difficult. Children whose rare medical conditions have made their appearance different from others’ have little hope of finding their likeness at a toy store or even online. Knowing how important the connection could be for a child gave Pacheco an idea. She decided she would design and make special dolls to donate to children with special medical conditions. To find the kids she hoped to create special dolls for, she cooperated with Fresh Start Surgical Gifts in California, a charitable organization that provides medical treatment to children who need it for free. Then Pacheco was sent pictures and profiles (简介) for a number of disabled children. She finally chose four. Before getting started, Pacheco searched YouTube for doll-making classes, and learned about those children’s favorite hobbies and preferred colors. Her goal was to make sure the kids could see themselves in her creations, but she didn’t want the things that make them different from other children to be the dolls’ most obvious feature. Michelle Pius, Fresh Start’s chief development officer was impressed by the final product. “Pacheco was trying to put as much love into it as she could. It was a very kind and big-hearted gesture for her to make dolls that will help a child feel like they’re not alone. And these toys represented each child faithfully,” he said. Pacheco said, “I really value the beauty in the little things. Each of these kids is so unique, so special… I hope through these dolls they can see themselves in a new light and really love their beauty.” 24. What did Pacheco know before deciding to design and make dolls for some children? A. She is highly talented at designing toys. B. She is in need of making new friends. C. It’s difficult for kids with rare illness to freely shop. D. It’s important for kids with special appearance to find toys like them. 25. How did Pacheco find kids that need dolls? A. By referring to related information provided by a charity. B. By advertising her donation plan on the Internet. C. By visiting hospitals to look for volunteers. D. By surveying children’s need on the streets. 26. What did Pacheco do first for her project? A. She learned how to make a toy. B. She talked with the kids for their demands. C. She asked people to donate material online. D. She collected people’s advice on designing a toy. 27. What do Pius’s words mainly imply? A. Pacheco would become an outstanding toy designer. B. Pacheco would spend more time with the kids. C. She appreciated Pacheco’s work very much. D. She thought it difficult to make a toy. C Have you watched the popular TV series Meet Yourself? In the TV series, the heroine Xu Hongdou travels to a village in Yunnan province and volunteers at a local cafe. She gets free meals in return. As the show finds a growing audience, volunteer travel — an old-yet-modern form of travel similar to Xu’s type of work — has attracted more attention. These volunteer trips are usually arranged by church organizations, human interest groups or nonprofit organizations, and they take form of equal exchanges. During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, the volunteers may get free or discounted accommodations meals and laundry activities, or classes. It seems as if these long journeys could only be made possible in recent years by modern transportation. Nevertheless, volunteer travel dates back to the 1960s, when Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK founded Volunteer Service Overseas (VSO), an international volunteer organization. Traditionally, the volunteer activities take place in a foreign country. However, just as what Meet Yourself describes, more volunteer trips have taken place within the same countries or regions the volunteers live in recently. Sanlian Life week magazine commented that volunteer projects in rural areas are now attracting more urban visitors as a break from the fast and stressful pace of urban living. Yang Yan, a founder of a volunteer platform, told the magazine that it has indeed been a growing trend for urban residents to volunteer in rural areas. People try volunteer travel for several reasons. By working voluntarily while traveling, travelers may make a real, positive impact on the world. The services volunteers provide can be through charities with lower costs for the communities they serve. Another benefit of volunteer travel is that it helps urban residents to get a taste of rural life. For those who are sick of urban pressure but can’t make up their minds whether to move permanently to the countryside, volunteer travel can be a solution. 28. Why does the author mention the popular TV series Meet Yourself in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To persuade readers to visit Yunnan. C. To recommend a tourist attraction. D. To inform readers of the popularity of the TV series. 29. Which is a volunteer trip according to the second paragraph? A. Cooking in a charity. B. Caring animals in a zoo. C. Helping the old at a nursing home. D. Teaching in exchange for free accommodations while traveling. 30. Which of the following can drive people to work voluntarily while traveling? A. To earn money. B. To earn reputation. C. To experience rural life. D. To make up their minds to move to the countryside permanently. 31. What can be the best title for this passage? A. The Popularity of Meet Yourself B. Volunteer Trips Finds New Popularity C. Make a Difference by Volunteering D. The Popularity of Volunteer Activities D Nature has long been good for us. But most of environmental psychologists’ work has focused on green space — parks, forests, and the like. Now, a more recent wave of researchers is turning their attention to far bluer places. In 2010, Mat White, an environmental psychologist, and his colleagues discovered that people tended to rate photos of natural and urban environments as being more restorative when they had some sort of water element. This study, since cited over thousands of times, helped kick off the blue space research movement of today. So, what actually happens in your body and brain when you spend time at the beach? White and his colleagues analyzed data from 4,255 respondents in England to see which natural environments is more mentally relaxing. The coast rated slightly higher than woodlands and mountainous landscapes. What makes beaches particularly good for resting the overworked mind? Catherine Kelly, a cold-water swimming enthusiast, suspects it has to do with their scale: their expansive views that seem never to end. “When we visit the coast, we’ll feel a sense of awe (敬畏), where we get perspective on our problems and feel part of something bigger than ourselves,” she said. The emotion is known to reduce stress, engage a sense of purpose, and push us to act more selflessly. Besides, there is evidence that looking at waves lapping on a beach is associated with changes in our own brain waves, promoting alpha frequencies (频率) that indicate relaxation. Another research suggests that people tend to exercise for longer when sweating in the so-called “blue gym” than in green spaces — potentially because they perceive time as being more expansive when they’ re by the water. This prolonged physical activity may go on to improve sleep. The ongoing researches into the sea can be used to advocate for protecting coastal landscapes around the world. “That reciprocity (相互性) is really important,” Kelly says. “If we have a place that makes us feel well, then surely it’s our job to make sure it feels well too.” 32. What can we learn about the 2010 research? A. It launched the space exploration. B. It advocated protecting the ocean. C. It offered a quite new perspective. D. It analysed the effect of beach sport. 33. Which aspect of the sea relaxes our mind according to Catherine Kelly? A. Its wilderness. B. Its vast expanse. C. Its fresh air. D. Its pain-easing power. 34. How does the ocean influence the visitors? A. It sharpens their sense of sight. B. It transforms their brain waves. C. It adjusts their biological clock. D. It reminds them of time passing. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The coast is a place of healing B. The ocean protection matters C. Exercise is beneficial to health D. Nature can restore itself fully 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。 It’s easy to give in to the winter hibernation (冬眠) urge — but countless studies have shown that outdoors activity is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of anxiety, depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). 36 Here’s how to make the best use of our natural health service. Starting small. “Sometimes getting out and running 5km was like climbing Everest. It would take me all day just to find the energy to get out,” says Alex Staniforth, a mental health campaigner. 37 Try opening a window, sitting by natural light, or bringing nature indoors with plants. When you’re ready, aim for short, achievable goals like a five-minute walk. You don’t need hours. Aiming for regular activity is key. 38 Mental health and fitness coach Gareth Jones emphasized that good planning and structure are crucial. “If you know you’re struggling with motivation, laying out all your kit — from your socks all the way up to the food you’re going to take — can be helpful,” he says. “ 39 You might want to get out when you get to the front door — but if you have to go and search for your trainers because they’re lost under the stairs somewhere, you may not feel like going out at all.” Group support. Social commitments can also act as motivation for people with depression and anxiety. Having other people around us — whether that’s joining a club or committing to something with a friend — can really help. 40 “People are very quick to post their accomplishments on social media, but what you don’t see is the build-up,” says Gareth. “It doesn’t matter where people are now in their lives, they’ve had to work to get there. And you’ll get there too.” A. A clear goal. B. A structured approach. C. However, don’t compare yourself to others. D. A disorganized life can affect your motivation. E. Therefore, doctors are encouraging people to go outdoors more. F. But time in nature isn’t the only cure for mental health problems. G. If this sounds familiar, remember even small steps can bring benefits. 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入空白处的最佳选项。 Jane was a girl who wanted to do something in the world.
