Zhao Yue vividly recalls the summer day in 2014 when her 5-year-old autistic (患自闭症的) son. Lun Lun, first clearly called “grandpa”—his first vocal recognition of a relative, Before entering Shenyang Little Turtle center, Lun Lun was trapped in silence, refusing eye contact even with his parents. Three years of intensive training there taught him basic life skills, enabling his transition to a special education school. Now 16, he independently visits the cinema, a milestone for the once-isolated boy.
Founded 18 years ago by educator Sun Lina, Little Turtle began as a tiny classroom with 3 teachers and 5 children. Today, it supports over 300 annual attendees through structured training and real-world activities like farm visits and horseback riding. Sun was motivated by many parents’ despair due to scarce autism resources, later partnering with One Foundation in 2012 to expand standardized care. The foundation provides monthly financial support and teacher training, part of a national effort aiding 825,700 individuals by 2024.
Government initiatives add drive:2024 reforms prioritize special school construction for autistic children, with Shenyang offering annual financial help up to 24,000 yuan for young children. Volunteers like Lin Zetong, a university student, assist through running groups, observing improved physical and social skills in participants. After a year and a half of years, he witnessed a boy evolve from walking to independent running and basic communication.
These collective efforts-community organizations, policy support, and volunteer work—form a vital support network. Zhao, now a volunteer herself, embodies the pay-it-forward spirit: “When helped in my darkest times, I must pass kindness to others.” As China faces an estimated 2 million autistic children under 14 (growing by 160,000 yearly) , such joint efforts highlight progress in bridging care gaps for these families.
4. What kind of boy was Lun Lun before entering Shenyang’s Little Turtle Center
A. Naughty. B. Skillful.
C. Unsociable. D. Independent.
5. What can we know about the Little Turtle center
A. It had big classrooms at the beginning.
B. It was created 18 years ago by a doctor.
C. Government didn’t give any support to it.
D. A Foundation has became the partner of it.
6. What does the underlined word “pay-it-and-receive” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Pay for the kindness to those you received.
B. Pass kindness to others who may need it.
C. Return kindness to those who helped you.
D. Hide your kindness to avoid any payment.
7. What can be suitable file for the child
A. A Special Education School for Children.
B. A Mother’s Journey with Her Autistic Sun.
C. Joint Efforts in China for Autistic Children.
D. Chinese Government Policies for Children.

New research suggests that given the right kind of training AI bots can deliver mental health therapy that works as well as-or better than-what human doctors do. The recent study published in NEJM AI, shows results from the first randomized clinical trial for AI therapy.
Researchers from Dartmouth College built the bot to address the severe shortage of mental health providers in the U.S. “I think one of the things that doesn’t scale well is humans,” says Nick Jacobson, a clinical psychologist who was part of this research team. For every 340 people in the U.S., there is just one mental health clinician, according to some estimates.
The researchers gathered a group of roughly 200 people who had diagnosable (可诊断的) conditions like depression and anxiety, or were at risk of developing eating disorders. Half of them worked with AI therapy pared to those that did not receive treatment, those who did showed significant improvement.
One of the surprising results, says Jacobson, was the quality of the bond people formed with their bots. “People were really developing this strong relationship with an ability to trust it,” says Jacobson, “and feel like they can work together on their mental health symptoms.” Another advantage of AI therapy is the lack of time limits. Jacobson and his team were surprised by how frequently patients accessed their AI therapists. “We had folks that were messaging it and getting their needs met in the middle of the night,” he says.
The American Psychological Association has raised the alarm recently about the dangers of using unregulated AI therapy bots. But the organization says it’s pleased with the strict clinical training that researchers invested in this model. “The therapy robot in this study does many of the things we’ve been hoping tech experts would start to do in the future.” says Vaile Wright, director for the Office of Health Care Innovation at the APA.
Nevertheless, Dartmouth researchers stress that the technology is still a long way from market and say they need to run additional trials on the therabot before it will be widely available.
8. Why did researchers from Dartmouth College build the bot
A. To replace human doctors.
B. To provide better physical therapy.
C. To solve the lack of mental health problems.
D. To give the right kind of training to AI robots.
9. What surprised Jacobson and his team
A. The improvement of patients.
B. The bond people formed with bots.
C. The thorough clinical training.
D. The danger of unregulated AI bots.
10. What is Vaile Wright’s attitude toward AI therapy bots
A. Unclear. B. doubtful.
C. appreciative. D. indifferent.
11. What can be concluded about the therabot
A. It will be widely applied soon.
B. Additional trials on it are not necessary.
C. It has already been used in hospital and at home.
D. Further research should be done before its wide use.
D
Have you ever felt defeated by the endless pace of time, struggling to balance work, family, and personal life Modern life’s pressures, strengthened by digital connectivity, have created a widespread sense of “time poverty”.
However, emerging research suggests nature could hold the key to transforming our relationship with time. Psychologist Ricardo Correia from the University of Turku conducted studies comparing time perception (感知) in urban and natural environments. His findings revealed a striking pattern: people consistently report feeling time expands in nature. A 30-minute walk in a forest, for example, is perceived as significantly longer than an identical walk in a city, while tasks completed in green spaces feel less rushed. This “time expansion” effect reduces the serious stress of time shortage.
Nature’s influence extends beyond momentary perception. It shifts our focus from immediate pressures to long-term views. Spending time outdoors helps us set meaningful goals over urgent but small tasks, as it reduces our eagerness to do things in a hush and enhances our ability to delay instant pleasure. This cognitive shift is linked to nature’s proven benefits for mental health-lowered anxiety, improved focus, and reduced emotional exhaustion—which in turn stabilize our internal timekeeping.
The biological mechanism is rooted in stress regulation. Natural environments ease the physiological effects of stress hormones (激素), creating a mental state where time feels more flexible. This explains why COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, which restricted access to nature, disrupted many people’s sense of time-without green spaces, the protection against time distortion (歪曲,变形) weakened.
Ideal solutions involve regular nature exposure, but urban residents can benefit from local green spaces like parks and community gardens. For those with limited access, practical strategies include time checking-tracking daily activities to identify inefficiencies-and setting digital boundaries, such as scheduled social media breaks. These methods echo nature’s most important benefit: reclaiming control over how we experience time.
In a hurried era, nature offers more than relaxation: it resets our internal clock, fostering abundance in life’s demands. Whether hiking a forest or pausing mindfully in a park, reconnecting with nature reminds us time’s true measure lies not in speed, but in engaging with moments.
12. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text
A. People’s sense of time is wrong.
B. A sense of time shortage is widespread.
C. Digital connectivity strengthened modern life.
D. People need to balance their work and personal life.
13. How will people feel about time according to Ricardo Correia’s findings
A. Shorter and rushed in nature.
B. Larger and less rushed in nature.
C. Shorter and less rushed in urban environments.
D. The shorter and less rushed in nature.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.
B. The negative impact of stress hormones.
C. Some practical ways for time management.
D. The biological reason for nature’s effect on time.
15. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph
A. Set our internal clock.
B. Keep track of time.
C. Engage with moments.
D. Set digital boundaries.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a small town, there lived a girl named Jessica, who had always been a star student, topping every class before college. Confident that her academic success would continue smoothly in college, Jessica spent most of her time scrolling (滚屏) on social media, ignoring her parents’ reminders to focus on her studies and lessons.
This carefree attitude continued for months until the day of Jessica’s mid-term exams. While her friends were worried Jessica remained untroubled, convinced that, just like before, she would manage to get through, according to her past experiences and natural intelligence. However, when her friends gathered to discuss a math problem with her, Jessica offered the wrong answer. Hearing her answer, one of her friends showed an obviously concerned look. Jessica, attempting to maintain her calmness, assured her friends, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine, just like I always was!” But inside, a sense of self-doubt began to grow.
As the exams began, Jessica’s sense of ease quickly disappeared. With each question, she found herself unsure, realizing just how little preparation she’d done. Despite this, she wrote down whatever she could recall from previous years, telling herself it would be enough for her to pass the exams.
However, when the results came out, Jessica was shocked to find she failed all the exams. The disappointment in her parents’ eyes was more than she could bear. Her friends, who had been studying hard, were celebrating their success, while Jessica was left to face the consequences of her actions. Jessica couldn’t escape the feeling of embarrassment. She knew she had a long road ahead, and repeating the year was the only way forward.
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。
This failure, however, turned out to be an important turning point for Jessica.

When the results of the final exams were announced, Jessica was nervous but hopeful.

【47题答案】
【答案】
This failure, however, turned out to be an important turning point for Jessica. Realizing success requires effort, Jessica began to focus on self-discipline, determined not to let this failure define her, and handed in her phone to her parents voluntarily. Acknowledging the need for a serious change in her habits, Jessica threw herself into studies, choosing to stay home instead of attending social events. As the next round of final exams approached, Jessica felt neither excited nor overconfident. Instead, she fully focused on revising what she had learned.
When the results of the final exams were announced, Jessica was nervous but hopeful. Although she’d tried her best to study, she daren’t take the results lightly. However, the results were beyond Jessica’s expectations — she’d passed every exam with an A grade! Overwhelmed with relief and joy, she ran to her parents, shared the good news and promised to value hard work and discipline. Her parents, proud of her transformation, hugged her tightly and returned her phone. This time, Jessica had truly earned a fresh start, one built on responsibility, patience and the realization that success is a product of effort, not luck.
