For eight years, Sophie created realistic-looking limbs (肢) for those who wanted to fit in. But she longed to work on more odd designs that would stand out. Then she met Pollyanna Hope, a young amputee (被截肢者).
“She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. Working with Hope made Sophie realize there was a potential market for limbs.
Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide.
Of course, a fancy-looking limb won't suit everyone. For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas.
“I’d really like to make a candy-dispenser leg with colorful candies inside it” she says. “Or a cuckoo-clock leg with a wooden bird that pops out every hour.” Her goal is to fashion a striking limb.
“It’ll transform the limbs from an elephant in the room into a conversation piece.”
24．Why did Pollyanna Hope come to Sophie
A．She hoped to have a tailored limb.
B．She intended to design a cartoon figure.
C．She longed to expand the market for limbs.
D．She expected to sell Sophie some odd ideas.
25．According to paragraph 3, ALP aims to ______.
A．boost users’ confidence B．sharpen users’ creativity
C．improve Sophie’s sculpture skills D．extend Sophie’s art business
26．What is the basis for Sophie's works
A．The novelty of the pattern tops the list. B．The balance of multi-needs comes first.
C．Fashion is the best policy. D．Functionality is the key.
27．What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph
A．Sophie resolves to lead the fashion of limbs.
B．Sophie plans to further transform artistic limbs.
C．Amputees will feel at ease to talk about limbs.
D．Amputees will have easy access to artistic limbs.

In an era of digital technology, the art of writing by hand has slowly been downgraded to a past entertainment. However, recent research suggests that this physical act is essential to brain health and development, having multiple cognitive (认知的) benefits. It is time we should reevaluate the potential benefits it may have on our mental capacities.
According to numerous studies, writing by hand stimulates more complex and diverse brain connections essential for encoding new information and forming memories. For instance, a recent investigation found that brain connectivity patterns were far more complicated and widespread for participants who wrote by hand compared to those who typed. Thus, it is clear that handwriting has a distinct and significant impact on our brain health.
Handwriting isn’t just good for our brains health—it also has clear, practical benefits. Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning. This extends beyond the classroom too. People who recorded information on paper calendars demonstrated more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones. The act of handwriting, therefore, could be a valuable tool for students preparing for exams and adults managing daily tasks.
Despite its clear benefits, handwriting has been on the decline. However, 25states in the US have reintroduced writing back into school curriculums. This is a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential in children’s brain development. Preliterate (未识字的) children who wrote by hand demonstrated brain activity in a circuit of the brain used in learning to read, further strengthening the link between handwriting and cognitive development.
It is clear that handwriting is a valuable activity that has the potential to enhance our brain health, learning, memory, and problem-solving skills. As we continue to navigate the digital age, it is important not to overlook the value of this seemingly simple activity. So, the next time you reach for your keyboard, remember the benefits of picking up a pen instead.
28．What do people usually think of handwriting at present
A．It has become an old-fashioned skill. B．It has many cognitive benefits in life.
C．It has been replaced by digital devices. D．It has been a popular entertainment.
29．What does the author mainly show about handwriting in paragraph 3
A．It is beneficial to brain health. B．It helps students score higher on quizzes.
C．It stimulates diverse brain connection. D．It has good effects on learning and memory.
30．Why is previous research mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To make a comparison. B．To add further evidence.
C．To show different opinions. D．To explain the brain activity.
31．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To illustrate a finding on handwriting. B．To emphasize the importance of handwriting.
C．To show the wide application of handwriting. D．To introduce the artistic value of handwriting.
D
Do you see a bird right now Can you hear one chirping If so, you might be getting a mental health boost. A study recently published in the journal Science found that being in the presence of birds made people feel more positive.
Andrea Mechelli, a psychologist at King’s College London, found himself studying the natural world accidentally. Initially he was searching for answers to why people who lived in cities seemed to tend to suffer mental illness, particularly psychosis. In 2015, he created the smartphone app Urban Mind to search for patterns in users’ environments. “Our first finding is that nature has a very powerful effect,” says Mechelli. He and his colleagues then wondered if some aspects of nature were more beneficial than others. They turned to birds for their ubiquity (普遍存在) in rural and urban environments.
Their latest study included 1,292 participants mainly in the United Kingdom and Europe. For two weeks, participants were prompted to fill out a questionnaire about their surrounding environment and their mental state three times a day. Mechelli performed a statistical analysis that found an obvious improvement in wellbeing when birds were present, even when eliminating other factors like the presence of trees or waterways. The mental health benefit was true both for people who disclosed a depression diagnosis and those without any diagnosed mental health conditions.
Peter James, an environmental health scientist at Harvard, would like to see more data. He found that environmental health studies like these lack diversity. Yet, a psychologist at Trent University in Canada, Lisa Nisbet says, “This kind of study helps us understand how people’s everyday experience with specific elements of nature, such as birds, can be restorative.”
Appreciating birds seems to be a promising avenue for nature-based health and wellbeing interventions. At Mechelli’s clinical practice in London, he focuses on early intervention therapies. He suggests his patients go for walks to observe the trees and plants growing in the city, and the bird fluttering by from branch to branch. “It has no side effects,” he says. “It’s something they could try, and they have nothing to lose.”
32．What can be inferred about Andrea Mechelli’s study
A．Diverse environments are rewarding only for depressed people.
B．The presence of birds is beneficial to mental health.
C．Peter James thought highly of Mechelli’s research.
D．It was originally targeted at the research on birds.
33．What does the underlined word “eliminating” mean in paragraph 3
A．Defeating. B．Identifying.
C．Considering. D．Removing.
34．Which of the following statement might Andrea Mechelli agree with
A．Early intervention shows no significance.
B．The access to nature helps people be more confident.
C．Nature-based intervention functions well in mental health.
D．People’s daily experience is connected with mental problems.
35．What’s the best title of the passage
A．Use Nature in Supporting Mental Health B．Get Outside for a Quicker Mental Recovery
C．Analyze Data to Make a Good Treatment Plan D．Turn to Birds for Better Understandings of Humans

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
Global warming is not only bringing rising sea levels and extreme weather events but also causing a growing wave of climate anxiety around the world. An international study found nearly six in ten people were very worried about climate change, while the young appeared to be particularly badly influenced. 36 Here are some effective ways to help deal with your feelings.
37 Not all information on the Internet is true, and you could be receiving misinformation. Even if you stick to trusted sources, too much information may only worsen your feelings. Try to set a time limit for checking climate related content to avoid making your anxiety worse.
It is important to be aware of your own limitations. You alone can’t stop or undo climate change, so you needn’t place the responsibility on yourself. 38 Joining a group of like-minded people to make a difference is a good way to get started and help you feel better.
Talk therapy (谈话疗法) provides you with a chance to discuss your anxiety about climate issues. A good therapist will address your negative emotions and thoughts about the environment in your conversations. 39
Positive changes have taken place at personal, community, and worldwide levels. And there is no reason to believe that they won’t continue, especially with your help. You can discover means to influence others with your own positive attitude. 40 Take on whatever role you feel comfortable with and remember to focus on your mental health on whatever path you choose.
A．However, you can always find ways to contribute positively.
B．Staying in natural green spaces has been shown to reduce stress.
C．For example, organize related activities to educate people around you.
D．Reduce your time spent online, especially on sources that are not trustworthy.
E．The UN has made a list of blogs and other news resources about climate issues.
F．Such a professional will recognize your feelings and work with you to manage them.
G．So consider taking care of your mental well-being if you are struggling with the issue.

67.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。
I was always afraid of water. This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly (果冻). I would imagine myself drowning in the water and thrashing around (乱扑腾) helplessly. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which made me tremble.
Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. With great unwillingness, I attended those weekly lessons, and each one was great suffering for me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing about in the water, while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly and even turning over like dolphins in the water. How was I going to pass the test at this rate
In my swimming class, there was an exceptionally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in our class and always looked at me with disdain (鄙视), especially when I thrashed about hopelessly in the water.
Once, after a particularly long and hard swimming lesson, I spotted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pool. Gathering my courage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can you teach me to swim ” She stared at me coldly. It was as if I stood at the edge of an endless ocean of inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark storm clouds threatening to drown me. Yet, in that moment, a glimmer of hope flashed within me, a desperate longing for guidance and acceptance. Would Kathy’s icy exterior (外表) melt under the warmth of empathy, or would I remain forever thrashing in the sea of my own fears
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】18．C 19．C 20．B
【原文】
I recently bought an old house, and now, I’m trying to fix it up. I’d like to make a few home improvements before I move in.
First of all, I’m pulling out all of the old carpet and laying down some new carpet throughout the house. I’m also putting in new light fixtures. The old ones don’t light up the rooms very well. Next, I’m remodeling the entire kitchen by putting in new kitchen cabinets, a new counter top, a new sink and tap, and new floors. I’m also going to buy new appliances for the kitchen.
I’m also thinking about adding a new addition to the house, which would include a new family room and dining room area. Outside our back door, I am going to build a deck, which is more or less like a balcony, where we can sit, relax, and have barbecues. We will also do some designing and planting job to the yard to beautify things a little. One final thing I need to do is replace the roof, and if I don’t, I might start having leaks in the house. By the time I’m finished with these home improvement projects, the place should look as good as new.

For eight years, Sophie created realistic-looking limbs (肢) for those who wanted to fit in. But she longed to work on more odd designs that would stand out. Then she met Pollyanna Hope, a young amputee (被截肢者).
“She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. Working with Hope made Sophie realize there was a potential market for limbs.
Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide.
Of course, a fancy-looking limb won't suit everyone. For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas.
“I’d really like to make a candy-dispenser leg with colorful candies inside it” she says. “Or a cuckoo-clock leg with a wooden bird that pops out every hour.” Her goal is to fashion a striking limb.
“It’ll transform the limbs from an elephant in the room into a conversation piece.”
24．Why did Pollyanna Hope come to Sophie
A．She hoped to have a tailored limb.
B．She intended to design a cartoon figure.
C．She longed to expand the market for limbs.
D．She expected to sell Sophie some odd ideas.
25．According to paragraph 3, ALP aims to ______.
A．boost users’ confidence B．sharpen users’ creativity
C．improve Sophie’s sculpture skills D．extend Sophie’s art business
26．What is the basis for Sophie's works
A．The novelty of the pattern tops the list. B．The balance of multi-needs comes first.
C．Fashion is the best policy. D．Functionality is the key.
27．What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph
A．Sophie resolves to lead the fashion of limbs.
B．Sophie plans to further transform artistic limbs.
C．Amputees will feel at ease to talk about limbs.
D．Amputees will have easy access to artistic limbs.
【答案】24．A 25．A 26．B 27．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Sophie为截肢者设计独特假肢的经历和想法，展示了她的设计理念和对截肢者需求的关注。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段““She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. (“她想在腿上画点不一样的东西：她喜欢的动画片小猪佩奇的照片，”现在住在伦敦的Sophie说。因此，她设计了一条独特的腿，上面有纹身图案，比如佩奇和其他猪骑自行车、吃冰淇淋。)”可知，Pollyanna Hope来找Sophie的原因是希望有一个定制的假肢。故选A。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide.(从那时起，Sophie创立了“ALP”，制作艺术肢体。她的作品包括一条包裹着雕刻蛇的手臂和一条看起来像瓷器的腿，上面覆盖着彩绘的花藤。她每年制作大约六只假肢，总是包括客户的想法，这样他们就可以得到一件可以庆祝而不是隐藏的个人作品。)”可知，Sophie创立“ALP”是为了让客户有一件可以庆祝而不是隐藏的假肢，也就是为了提升用户的自信心。故选A。
26．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas.(对Sophie来说，基础是每个肢体都必须满足舒适、美观和功能的结合，在一个方向上用力过猛会削弱其他领域。但对于喜欢新奇事物的截肢者来说，Sophie有一些惊人的想法。)”可知，对Sophie来说，作品的基础是每个肢体都必须满足舒适、美观和功能的结合。故选B。
27．推理判断题。在英文中“an elephant in the room”比喻一些非常显而易见的，可是却一直被忽略的棘手问题。由此可知，这句话的意思指的是“将假肢的事变成日常话题”，也就是说Sophie希望截肢者能够轻松地谈论假肢。故选C。
C
In an era of digital technology, the art of writing by hand has slowly been downgraded to a past entertainment. However, recent research suggests that this physical act is essential to brain health and development, having multiple cognitive (认知的) benefits. It is time we should reevaluate the potential benefits it may have on our mental capacities.
According to numerous studies, writing by hand stimulates more complex and diverse brain connections essential for encoding new information and forming memories. For instance, a recent investigation found that brain connectivity patterns were far more complicated and widespread for participants who wrote by hand compared to those who typed. Thus, it is clear that handwriting has a distinct and significant impact on our brain health.
Handwriting isn’t just good for our brains health—it also has clear, practical benefits. Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning. This extends beyond the classroom too. People who recorded information on paper calendars demonstrated more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones. The act of handwriting, therefore, could be a valuable tool for students preparing for exams and adults managing daily tasks.
Despite its clear benefits, handwriting has been on the decline. However, 25states in the US have reintroduced writing back into school curriculums. This is a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential in children’s brain development. Preliterate (未识字的) children who wrote by hand demonstrated brain activity in a circuit of the brain used in learning to read, further strengthening the link between handwriting and cognitive development.
It is clear that handwriting is a valuable activity that has the potential to enhance our brain health, learning, memory, and problem-solving skills. As we continue to navigate the digital age, it is important not to overlook the value of this seemingly simple activity. So, the next time you reach for your keyboard, remember the benefits of picking up a pen instead.
28．What do people usually think of handwriting at present
A．It has become an old-fashioned skill. B．It has many cognitive benefits in life.
C．It has been replaced by digital devices. D．It has been a popular entertainment.
29．What does the author mainly show about handwriting in paragraph 3
A．It is beneficial to brain health. B．It helps students score higher on quizzes.
C．It stimulates diverse brain connection. D．It has good effects on learning and memory.
30．Why is previous research mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To make a comparison. B．To add further evidence.
C．To show different opinions. D．To explain the brain activity.
31．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To illustrate a finding on handwriting. B．To emphasize the importance of handwriting.
C．To show the wide application of handwriting. D．To introduce the artistic value of handwriting.
【答案】28．A 29．D 30．B 31．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，论述我们应该重新评估书写对我们的心智能力的益处，未来它将成为教育的重要组成部分。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“In an era of digital technology, the art of writing by hand has slowly been downgraded to a past entertainment.(在数字技术时代，手写的艺术已经慢慢沦为一种过时的娱乐)”可知，人们通常把手写看成一种已经过时的技能。故选A。
29．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Handwriting isn’t just good for our brains health—it also has clear, practical benefits. Research has shown that students who take handwritten notes score significantly higher on quizzes, demonstrating improved learning. This extends beyond the classroom too. People who recorded information on paper calendars demonstrated more brain activity and recalled information faster than those who used smartphones. The act of handwriting, therefore, could be a valuable tool for students preparing for exams and adults managing daily tasks.(手写不仅对我们的大脑健康有好处——它还有明显的、实际的好处。研究表明，做手写笔记的学生在测验中得分明显更高，这表明他们的学习能力有所提高。这也延伸到了课堂之外。在纸质日历上记录信息的人比使用智能手机的人大脑活动更活跃，回忆信息的速度也更快。因此，对于准备考试的学生和管理日常事务的成年人来说，书写的行为可能是一个有价值的工具)”可知，该段主要讲述手写对学习和记忆的影响。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段“Despite its clear benefits, handwriting has been on the decline. However, 25states in the US have reintroduced writing back into school curriculums. This is a step in the right direction, as previous research has also indicated that handwriting is essential in children’s brain development. Preliterate (未识字的) children who wrote by hand demonstrated brain activity in a circuit of the brain used in learning to read, further strengthening the link between handwriting and cognitive development.(尽管有明显的好处，但手写一直在走下坡路。然而，美国已有25个州将写作重新引入学校课程。这是朝着正确方向迈出的一步，因为之前的研究也表明，书写对儿童的大脑发育至关重要。识字之前用手写字的儿童在学习阅读的大脑回路中表现出大脑活动，进一步加强了书写和认知发展之间的联系)”可推断，该段提及从前的研究是为了进一步证实书写的好处。故选B。
31．推理判断题。根据第一段“In an era of digital technology, the art of writing by hand has slowly been downgraded to a past entertainment. However, recent research suggests that this physical act is essential to brain health and development, having multiple cognitive (认知的) benefits. It is time we should reevaluate the potential benefits it may have on our mental capacities.(在数字技术时代，手写的艺术已经慢慢沦为一种过时的娱乐。然而，最近的研究表明，这种身体活动对大脑的健康和发育至关重要，有多种认知益处。是时候我们应该重新评估它对我们心智能力的潜在好处了)”结合文章论述强调了书写对我们的心智能力的益处，希望读者重视书写。即文章的目的是强调书写的重要性。故选B。
D
Do you see a bird right now Can you hear one chirping If so, you might be getting a mental health boost. A study recently published in the journal Science found that being in the presence of birds made people feel more positive.
Andrea Mechelli, a psychologist at King’s College London, found himself studying the natural world accidentally. Initially he was searching for answers to why people who lived in cities seemed to tend to suffer mental illness, particularly psychosis. In 2015, he created the smartphone app Urban Mind to search for patterns in users’ environments. “Our first finding is that nature has a very powerful effect,” says Mechelli. He and his colleagues then wondered if some aspects of nature were more beneficial than others. They turned to birds for their ubiquity (普遍存在) in rural and urban environments.
Their latest study included 1,292 participants mainly in the United Kingdom and Europe. For two weeks, participants were prompted to fill out a questionnaire about their surrounding environment and their mental state three times a day. Mechelli performed a statistical analysis that found an obvious improvement in wellbeing when birds were present, even when eliminating other factors like the presence of trees or waterways. The mental health benefit was true both for people who disclosed a depression diagnosis and those without any diagnosed mental health conditions.
Peter James, an environmental health scientist at Harvard, would like to see more data. He found that environmental health studies like these lack diversity. Yet, a psychologist at Trent University in Canada, Lisa Nisbet says, “This kind of study helps us understand how people’s everyday experience with specific elements of nature, such as birds, can be restorative.”
Appreciating birds seems to be a promising avenue for nature-based health and wellbeing interventions. At Mechelli’s clinical practice in London, he focuses on early intervention therapies. He suggests his patients go for walks to observe the trees and plants growing in the city, and the bird fluttering by from branch to branch. “It has no side effects,” he says. “It’s something they could try, and they have nothing to lose.”
32．What can be inferred about Andrea Mechelli’s study
A．Diverse environments are rewarding only for depressed people.
B．The presence of birds is beneficial to mental health.
C．Peter James thought highly of Mechelli’s research.
D．It was originally targeted at the research on birds.
33．What does the underlined word “eliminating” mean in paragraph 3
A．Defeating. B．Identifying.
C．Considering. D．Removing.
34．Which of the following statement might Andrea Mechelli agree with
A．Early intervention shows no significance.
B．The access to nature helps people be more confident.
C．Nature-based intervention functions well in mental health.
D．People’s daily experience is connected with mental problems.
35．What’s the best title of the passage
A．Use Nature in Supporting Mental Health B．Get Outside for a Quicker Mental Recovery
C．Analyze Data to Make a Good Treatment Plan D．Turn to Birds for Better Understandings of Humans
【答案】32．B 33．D 34．C 35．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了最近的一项研究发现，与鸟儿在一起会让人感觉更加积极。
32．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Mechelli performed a statistical analysis that found an obvious improvement in wellbeing when birds were present(Mechelli进行了一项统计分析，发现有鸟在场时，幸福感有明显改善)”以及“ The mental health benefit was true both for people who disclosed a depression diagnosis and those without any diagnosed mental health conditions.(对于那些被诊断出患有抑郁症的人和那些没有任何被诊断出患有精神疾病的人来说，心理健康方面的好处都是真实的。)”可知，从Andrea Mechelli的研究中可推知鸟的存在有利于心理健康。故选B项。
33．词句猜测题。根据划线所在句子“Mechelli performed a statistical analysis that found an obvious improvement in wellbeing when birds were present, even when eliminating other factors like the presence of trees or waterways.(Mechelli进行了一项统计分析，发现有鸟类在场时，即使eliminating树木或水道等其他因素，人们的幸福感也会有明显改善)”中的“when birds were present”以及“even when”可知，此处应是表达“只要有鸟类在场，即使排除树木或水道等其他因素，人们的幸福感也会有明显改善”符合语境，划线词eliminating应是“排除”之意，和D项“Removing(排除，去除)”意思一致。故选D项。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Appreciating birds seems to be a promising avenue for nature-based health and wellbeing interventions. At Mechelli’s clinical practice in London, he focuses on early intervention therapies. He suggests his patients go for walks to observe the trees and plants growing in the city, and the bird fluttering by from branch to branch. “It has no side effects,” he says. “It’s something they could try, and they have nothing to lose.”(欣赏鸟类似乎是一种基于自然的健康和福祉干预的有希望的途径。在伦敦Mechelli的临床实践中，他专注于早期干预疗法。他建议他的病人去散步，观察城市里生长的树木和植物，以及在树枝间飞舞的鸟儿。“它没有副作用，”他说。“这是他们可以尝试的东西，他们没有什么可失去的。”)”可推知，Andrea Mechelli建议他的病人去散步，观察城市里生长的树木和植物以及在树枝间飞舞的鸟儿，由此可推知，Andrea Mechelli会赞同基于自然的干预对心理健康有很好的作用。故选C项。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Do you see a bird right now Can you hear one chirping If so, you might be getting a mental health boost. A study recently published in the journal Science found that being in the presence of birds made people feel more positive.(你现在看到一只鸟了吗 你能听到其中一只啾啾吗 如果是这样，你可能会得到心理健康的促进。最近发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究发现，有鸟在身边会让人感觉更积极)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了与鸟儿在一起会让人感觉更加积极，所以A项“Use Nature in Supporting Mental Health(利用自然支持心理健康)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。
