【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者在文章中援引研究表明接近自然对孩子成长重要性。
36.根据前句提到“研究表明,在树林中散步能使我们放松”可知,B项“即使只是向一下的味助于减轻焦虑”和前句构成递进关系。所以B项切题。故选B项。
37.根据后句提到“在解释这项研究背启的动机时,研究人员指出,随着全球变暖等环境问题的出现,越来越多的研究注方与自然之间的关系,以找到解决这些问题的办法,而地球的未米掌握在孩子和他们的行动手中。然而,这方面的研究很少。”可知,F项“在一项新的研究中,研究人员想看看孩子们不能从户外活动中获得同样的好处”中提到的“In a new study"和后句的"Explaining the motivation behind the study”是同一个研究。同时后句提到的内容是前句提到研究的原因。所以F项切题。故选F项。
38.根据后句提到“他们还发现,孩子们越关心环境和自然,他们就越有可能快乐”可知,E项“他们发现,亲近自然的孩子更可能表现得积极”和前句都是研究的发现,两者之间表示并列关系。所以E项切题。故选E项。
39.根据划线前提到“也就是说,当成年人在户外欣赏大自然时,孩子们会学他们”可知,C选项“如果父母喜欢亲近大自然,他们的孩子也会喜欢”前后两句都在讲父母对孩子的影响,前后两句表示并列。所以C项切题。故选C项。
40.根据划线前提到“研究人员说,孩子们需要榜样,他们可以带着快乐和终身学习者的态度温和地引导他们进入大自然”和后句的“更重要的是,他们花时间和孩子们一起探索一个有趣和安全的环境”可知,D选项“父母不必是环境科学或自然研究方面的专家”此处起承上启下的作用。所以D项切题。故选D项。

Driving home even one was talking about their gifts in high spirits except the youngest daughter Ginger.Feeling puzzled,Melissa asked what she had bought for Christmas.“Nothing,”Ginger whispered,lowering her head.Other kids stopped talking and turned to Ginger.“Are you kidding? Did you lose your money?”They stared at the little girl,their faces lighting up with surprise.Ginger shook her head and said that she gave the bill to a man who was begging outside the supermarket.The man in rags was standing in cold weather.There was no doubt that he was homeless and had a hard time.
"We have so much,but the homeless man doesn’t have anything,"Ginger explained.“I am willing to share my happiness with him.I hope he can buy warm clothes or treat himself to a good dinner.”She added,with eyes shining with excitement.Hearing her daughters' words,Melissa felt a sense of pride swept through her.“What you did is right,Gingcr.You are such a kind child that we are proud of you,"she said.Arriving home,they had a small party and the other kids offered to share their gifts with Ginger.It was the special experience that made the kids realize sharing is important.

1 was siting in between my parents on a 15-hour flight from Toronto to Seoul, where I intended to discuss a book project.The hotel room I reserved had enough space for us all.So when my parents proposed it as a half-joke that they would come,too,I didn't think it made no sense.
I was only 8 when we began our immigration(移民)journey.Korea was their country.They wouldn't need me there as they did in Canada.But the first week proved to be tough. We were upside down with the time change.My father announced that the first thing they wanted to do was visit my grandma's grave(坟墓).We had discussed visiting a few relatives,but going to grandma's grave had never come up.It was like: family duties upset my work schedule.“You guys go,”I refused. While my father showered,my mother took me aside.“Your dad has always been counting the days for the moment when he can show your grandma how well you have grown up.”I was deeply moved. So I decided to accompany them.
As we approached the graveyard,I gathered some colored wildflowers from the parking lot and tied them with a long piece of grass. My parents got busy weeding around the headstone.“Your name is on the back"my father said.“See here?"I looked,and there was my Korean name carved beside those of my siblings and cousins. It felt odd to see our names on the headstone all of us,the living and dead, connected.I saw a link between generations.
I didn't know how to tell them that the trip was amazing.I realized how I was closely associated with them. We don't belong to languages or countries. My grandma died only four months before we moved to Canada, when she was too weak to make the trip.I hope she knows that we did take her,and that all we have is each other.

25.why was the author initially unwilling to visit his grandma's grave?

C.He liked visiting other relatives better.

D.He preferred exploring alone.
26.Why lid the author's father want to take him to grandma's grave?
A.To introduce the author to relatives.
C.To observe a family ceremony.
B.To fulfil a long-awaited wish.
D.To help with weeding.

The elderly residents(居民)in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity(慈普组织)to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people's wellbeing,It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia,a serious illness of the mind. Staff in care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier.She said:“I used to keep hens when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.”
“I like the project a lot.I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and down there again at night to see they've gone to bed.'
"It's good to have a different focus.People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and residents come and sit outside to watch them.I'm enjoying the creative activities,and it feels great to have done something useful.”

Massive heat waves and droughts are already becoming a threat to farmers.Over the next three decades,California's San Joaquin Valley alone could lose up to 535,00 acres of farmland as a result of the shortage of water supplies.
Jennifer Brophy,an assistant professor of bioenginering at Stanford,is working on methods she hopes will be used to change crop species so they can survive severe conditions.She is developing new genetic(基因的)engineering techniques that can help plants grow in a variety of different conditions.By changing the genome(基因组)of both crops and soil bacteria,she thinks it may be possible to help plants survive droughts.
To make plants respond to extreme climate,Brophy is building what she calls“genetic circuits(回路).”In addition to changing the genes within plant cells,this method also change show and when those genes are activated(激活).If the plant senses a specific sugar,it can express one protein(蛋白质);if it senses another signal,it'll express a different protein,starting an entirely separate range of events.If both signals are there,the plant may be able to express something else entirely.“Using circuits,you can have plants respond in new ways to all these different inputs,”she says.
Humans can learn from the weather forecast whether it's going to be really hot or really dry in the next couple of weeks so that we can plan accordingly.“A plant doesn't necessarily know what's coming.It just knows if it's hot or mild right now,”says Brophy.This can lead to problems when weather becomes unstable.A plant that usually flowers in spring may flower in winter if there are a few unseasonably warm days.When temperatures fall again,the flowers die and ruin a year of crops.“It'd be great to be able to communicate with plants to tell them,'hey,you should wait on that flowering,”she adds.
Controlling plants' growth at this level is a promising future,but actually putting it into practice still has a long way to go.At the moment,Brophy is testing the concept in the lab using a small weedy plant called Arabidopsis,trying to figure out how to activate certain genes on command.

第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
Studies have shown that walking among trees makes us relaxed. 36 There's plenty of research showing the link between being in nature and being happy,but most of the research has focused on adults.
37 Explaining the motivation behind the study,researchers note that with environmental issues such as global warming,more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to these problems,and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions.However,few studies focus on this aspect.
For the study,researchers worked with 296 children between the ages of 9 and 12.To measure how connected they were to nature,the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and wild animals,hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants. 38 They also found that the more concerned children were about the environment and nature,the more likely they were to be happy.
So exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children.What does that mean to adults?As we all know,children usually tend to follow adults',especially their parents' behaviors.That's to say,when adults are outside and appreciate nature,kids learn by example. 39
Researchers say that children need role models who can gently guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude of a lifelong learner. 40 What's more important is that they spend time together with children by exploring a fun and safe environment.
A.It's so good going for a walk around trees.
B Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety
C.And if parents enjoy being close to nature,so will their children.
D.Parents don't have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies.
E.They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave actively.
F.In a new study researchers wanted to se if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors.
G.Researchers will study more about the connection between children's happiness and nature.
