I spent my entire childhood and adolescence trying to fit in.I did just about anything to ease the pains of the stares and pointing fingers from my classmates.By the time I was 8,I had no self-confidence,and the hand I was wearing was making it harder for me to fit in.So I decided I was better off without one.I didn't need anyone to fix me. To prove that I wasn't limited by my disability,I developed a love for all sports,in particular swimming.I was selected to my first Australian women's swimming team at age 13 and successfully represented my country for eight years.I realized I'd made a name for myself because of my disability. I taught myself how to be comfortable in a society filled with insecurities.So when I was first contacted in 2021 by Covvi,a company trying to create the world's most advanced bionic (hand,I was a bit surprised.They asked me to trial the hand and,if possible, to become a patient advocate.Initially,I said no.Then,curiosity got the better of me. While I was busy advocating for disability rights,a new generation of leaders,like Amy Purdy and Nick Vujicic,used the power of technology and social media to display wheelchairs or artificial limbs without explanation.People feared disability less.Society was beginning to see a person first,and their disability second. Viewing disability through a social lens also meant acknowledging that a person is more disabled by their environment and the discrimination of others than by their actual disability. 北京师大附中2026-2027学年（上)高三期中考试英语试卷第4顷（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 可只 As those conversations shifted,I realized that there was an opportunity to use technology to shape the story for future generations.In July 2022.I decided to trial the hand. The role of patient advocate is an enormous privilege.Through sharing my journey,I'm able to reach thousands of other people who would benefit from its extraordinary capabilities. That's why I wear a bionic hand-not because I'm broken,but because I have an opportunity to enhance the human capabilities that already exist. 24.The author developed a love for all sports because A.she was longing for fame B.sports gave her self-confidence C.she wanted to defeat her disability D.her prosthetic device empowered her 25.From Purdy and Vujicic,the author learned A.more people acknowledged their limits B.the disabled needed a friendlier environment C.social media allowed the disabled opportunities D.technology shifted people's attitudes to disability 26.Which of the following words can best describe the author? A.Intelligent and brave. B.Warm-hearted and patient. C.Responsible and strong-willed. D.Independent and innovative. 27.From the passage,we learn that one should A.maximize one's abilities by embracing reality B.build one's social circle with optimism C.stick to one's goal to achieve success D.take it easy in difficult situations C When Jean-Paul Sartre wrote "man is forced to be free"in Existentialism is a Humanism in 1946,he argued that at every instance we invent ourselves by means of the choices we make.Every action we take contributes to our shaping.We are not defined by what we think, dream,or hope.We are only defined by what we do.Existentialism is a doctrine (of action."There is no reality except in action,"he writes. In Sartre's time,however,people were not forced onto the internet,that black hole of boundless choices.Back in 1946,the average person didn't get attracted by the life of the travel blogger on social media,the startup founder.family influencer,castle owner,personal 北京师大附2026-2027学年（上)高圳期考试英渐试卷第5页（共10页) 扫描全能王创建 trainer:and so forth.Instead,back in Sartre's time.choice was largely restricted to what happened to (literally)"cross your path". In 2000,psychologists Sheena lyengar from Columbia and Mark Lepper from Stanford published a study called,"When Choice is Demotivating:Can One Desire Too Much of a Good Thing?"The psychologists set up tasting stands in an upscale grocery store that displayed either a limited 6 or an extensive 24 selection of different flavours of jam. Customers were allowed to taste as many jams as they desired,and afterwards,if they wished, they could purchase the jam at the checkout. The psychologists discovered that more choices did not lead to more tasting(consumers from both stands tasted between I and 2 jams on average);but more telling was the discovery that 30 percent of consumers in the limited-choice condition subsequently purchased a jam compared to only 3 percent of consumers in the extensive-choice condition."Having 'too much'choice seems nonetheless to have reduced their later motivation to buy.the researchers concluded."As the attractiveness of alternatives rises,individuals experience conflict and as a result tend to defer decisions,search for new alternatives,choose the standard option,or simply opt not to choose."It seems that having a rich diversity of opticns doesn't help people form better decisions.In fact,it confuses them.One examines the options but can't commit to taking action. If we define our essence through our choices and actions,as the existentialists propose. what happens when our choices and actions are influenced by choice overload,or the large amounts of information on the internet?If we find ourselves failing to choose or act.our essence-the person we are creating through our choices-remains unformed,or fragmented as we scroll from one interest to the next.Without deliberate action,Sartre warns.we risk falling into inauthenticity:living according to others'expectations rather than our own choices,or passively adopting external influences. 28.What can be learned from the study published in 2000? A.Extended sampling improves engagement. B.An increase in options decreases motivation. C.A greater variety of flavors boosts satisfaction. D.Having limited choices improves decision quality. 29.What does the underlined word"defer"in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Justify. B.Defend. C.Applaud. D.Postpone. 30.What is the author's attitude towards Sartre's view? A.Sympathetic.B.Disapproving.C.Unconcerned. D.Skeptical. 北京师大附2026-2027学年(.上)高期中劣试英语试卷第6页（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 向只 31.What is the best title for the passage? A.We Are Our Choices B.Embrace Frecdom with Choices C.Existentialism in a Digital World D.Actions Speak Louder Than Words D George Orwell once wrote that every generation "imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it,and wiser than the one that comes after it".Today,the second part of that observation feels more perceptive than ever,as we face concems about the ways modern technology is supposedly destroying the minds and cognitive abilities of children and young people. For decades,scientists have noted the occurrence of the Flynn effect,which describes how each generation is more intelligent than the previous one.In recent years,this effect has seemingly weakened,leading some to interpret this as evidence of the damage that today's tech,via smartphones and screen time,is doing to young people. But there are other explanations for what we are seeing.The Flynn effect is weakening because there is no longer a substantial difference in intelligence scores between young people and those from older generations.Many would interpret this as meaning young people are becoming less intelligent.However,it could just as easily mean older people are maintaining more of their cognitive abilities as they age.Outside of conditions like Alzheimer's,we have typically seen cognitive abilities reduce as people get older.But recent evidence reveals this is no longer the case for many. This is probably a downstream result of the greater access to early-life education, healthcare and information that those born in the 20th century increasingly enjoyed,allowing recent generations to not only become smarter,but stay that way.Basically,the narrowed intelligence gap between older and younger people is more likely to be a sign of things getting better,rather than worse. There are still concerns about the impact of technology on young people's intelligence and cognition.True,there is evidence that too much screen time can be harmful to attention spans,but this can be seen as more the result of unhelpful habits that can be undone by adjusting behaviour,rather than lasting disruptions to key neurological systems. It also helps to consider how we are assessing intelligence or cognitive abilities. Standardised tests that have been used for decades are all well and good,but how to precisely measure or even define intelligence has long been a debated issue.Applying long-established 北京师大附中2026-2027学年（上)高三期中考试英语试卷第7页（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 frameworks of intellectual performance to young people who developed intellectually in a completely different environment to that of their parents may do them a serious disservice Constantly looking through multiple videos may strike older people as a sign of a lack of focus and attention,but being able to manage multiple information streams at once requires some considerable brain power.Video games have also been shown to improve multitasking abilities.Used properly,smartphones can actually enhance learning and education. The idea that young people are intellectually inferior is common,but the evidence doesn't back it up.The world is constantly becoming more complex,and both younger and older people are adapting to deal with this in different ways. 32.Why does the author mention George Orwell? A.To prove the intelligence of previous generations. B.To highlight the common view on generational intelligence. C.To contrast his views with modern concerns about technology. D.To argue against the relevance of his observations in modern society. 33.What can be learned from the passage? A.Screen time leads to more lasting brain damage in young people. B.The Flynn effect's decline confirms the harm of modern technology. C.Generational intelligence differences are less alarming than assumed. D.Educational systems contribute to older generations'cognitive decline 34.What does the author mainly do in this passage? A.Draw a comparison. B.Issue a warning C.Make an assessment. D.Offer a clarification. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题 卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What is adulthood?Societies all over the world view the concept of an adult as self- supporting and self-directed,because it identifies a point in the life cycle. As Alice Black points out,today's parents'fear of letting kids do more housework has added to their inability to feel competent and,thus,confident in themselves.Psychologist Robert Turner wrote about this in his book,The Life Cycle,mentioning a stage when kids learn self-direction and mastery.35 But Turner's other cycles are just as important.36 If these life cycles are delayed,interrupted,or denied,you feel incapable of accessing your states of self,controlling 北京师大附中2026-2027学年（上：)高三期中考试英语试卷第8页（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 unpleasant feelings.and manipulating()the energy that puts together the fabric of your inner world. Turner wisely said that"doing well"psychologically is being able to roll with the flow of emotions,manage them,communicate clearly and well with others,and master various skills.This requires an internal locus (of control,which implies self-control of your thoughts,feelings.and actions.37 You're self-directed and not reliant on the world to tell you who you are.And you know who you are within all this. So,being an adult isn't just holding a job.Being an adult is about having a rooted sense of self while being capable of identifying and managing your emotions and actions.38 We are a social species,so this is important. While raising an adult is a parent's job.it's also our responsibility as a society to ensure that we support schools that nurture (emotional and identity development.39 A.It's also our job to support adults who need help repairing incomplete life cycles. B.They talk about someone's inability to support themselves through work. C.It's being able to show understanding when communicating with others. D.In other words,you're playing the game of life-life isn't playing you. E.They teach emotional awareness and management as well as identity. F.You feel like an 18-year-old,especially when playing 80s music. G.When this stage is denied it creates a sense of insecurity. 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分） 第一节（共4小题：第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 There's something magical about the way imagination works.Around the world,kids are using imagination in ways that were once only found in science fiction.

Using an old 3D printer,Mark started experimenting.He melted (plastic bottles down and tried shaping them into small bricks.At first,everything went wrong-the plastic broke,the printer jammed,and the pieces didn't fit together.Friends laughed a little,and even Mark's parents thought he should just give up. But Mark had a different idea.He redesigned the bricks to lock together like puzzle pieces and adjusted the heating temperature carefully.After months of trial and error,he 北京师大附中2026-2027学年（上）高.中考试英语试卷第9项（共10页） 扫描全能王创建 可接只 succeeded.With a little help from his school and the local community centre.Mark used his bricks to build a small bike shelter for his neighbourhood.
