M: Glad to be here.
W: What do you do in your job?
M: I spend a lot of my time with sea animals, trying to learn what things they need in the environment. If we know what they need, we can help them survive in the future.
W: Can you tell us something about the disaster a short time ago?
M: The whales, small fish, and birds all suffered in that disaster. The birds had oil on their wings, so they couldn’t fly. And they couldn’t eat the fish because the fish were covered with oil. It took a long time for many people to work on the cleanup.
W: Why did you choose this job? Is it because you were concerned about sea animals?
M: Yes, I was always interested in the world of the ocean and how the plants and animals fit together in their system.
W: Thank you, Kevin, for coming and talking to us this evening.
M: My pleasure.

【答案】17. A 18. C 19. B 20. B
【解析】
【原文】W: Helen Perry, one of the greatest actresses of all time, was born in 1847. Her acting life didn’t actually have a good start because acting was not a suitable job for a young woman at that time. When she was 22, she went on stage. But she found she had other problems. Although her first role was very small, she had great trouble learning the dialogue lines, and, according to her, this was difficult throughout her acting life. However, this didn’t prevent her becoming a successful actress. People said the thing that made her so special was her voice. Unfortunately, her voice got lower and lower when she was in her fifties, which nearly brought her acting life to an end. She finally had a throat operation, which was very important for her and made her go on acting for another 25 years after that. Helen Perry is famous for several famous plays. But few people know her talent in writing. We have the letters she exchanged with a writer and they show she had great writing style. She also had quite a few degrees. But she said what really pleased her was that the audience loved her.

I am not sure how many years ago it was, but I still had a cassette player (盒式磁带放录机) at the time. I had a lot of housework. I was tired of television and was in the mood for music. I pulled out one of my favorite cassettes. It started to play but before long the music stopped. I opened the player and saw the tape in the cassette was all pulled out and twisted (扭曲的). I tried to fix it, but it was already broken beyond repair. I frowned. I didn’t want to risk another of my cassettes with a tape-eating machine, but I really wanted some music.
Then I noticed my ancient record player in the corner. I walked over and dusted it off. I pulled out an old record of my mom’s that my dad had given me after she died. I turned on the record player and gently put the record on the turntable (唱机上的转盘). “Pop!” “Crack!” went the record for a second as I put the needle(唱针) down. Then a beautiful melody from my childhood started to play. I smiled and started to do my housework. The sweet songs I grew up on touched my soul. I felt the music coming out of me. I started to sing, letting my weak voice join in joyously with the music. I even dared to dance a little while I did the dishes. I smiled and laughed. My heart was filled with happiness. And at that moment I could feel the joy of the universe all around me. “This is how life is supposed to be!”
These days all my music is on CDs. My daughter says I am behind the times. She says I should buy a cellphone and download all the music I want. But instead, I think I will dust off those old records again, put them on that record player and start to sing along.
We all have music within us just waiting to get out. Don’t let your music die within you then. Share your song with the world. And don’t forget to dance a little too.

One of the best parts of travel is always the food. Or, more specifically, the junk food. It’s a delight people are unlikely to get to experience during the pandemic. But in one corner of the internet, hungry people are keeping the joy of international snacks alive.
On SnackExchange, users trade the delights of their homeland by mail. First, you find someone on the board to swap with. You and your partner then post each other a box full of local finest processed foods, eventually uploading photos of your haul(收获) on the board for others to see.
First created in 2010, SnackExchange’s membership now totals 102,000. Most come to experience snacks they can’t find at home.
For the users who take part in snack exchanges, it’s a way to learn more about the world. For Meghan Quallick, a snack swapper from California, part of the motivation for swapping with an Australian was to get a specific item: Cadbury Black Forest bars. A co-worker of hers had eaten the chocolate bars on a trip to Australia in years past and fallen in love with them, but was then unable to source them at home. Quallick’s snack partner included 10 bars of the chocolate in her package. “To get some and bring them to her was pretty exciting,” Quallick said. “My colleague had tears in her eyes.”
Snack exchanges do come with obvious financial disadvantages. Part of the process is to agree on a budget before you swap – on average that’s around the US$40-50 mark. But you should be prepared to spend twice as much on shipping as the actual snacks. Occasionally swappers get scammed(欺骗) by partners who don’t deliver on their end of the deal.
Often, the snack exchanges are about more than just the food. Heather Clarke, a snack swapper from Melbourne says, “They’re often cultural exchanges as well. You get people going, ‘Can you tell me what this is?’” Often, users enclose(随信附上) instructions on how to best consume the snacks. Going the extra mile is in the spirit of the community.
28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The history of snack exchanges.
B. Why people love to exchange snacks.
C. How users exchange snacks on SnackExchange.
D. The influence the pandemic has on snack exchanges.
29. Why did Quallick’s colleague cry?
A. She quarreled with Quallick.
B. She failed to find a swapper herself.
C. She found the snack she ate before online.
D. She got what she desired to eat from Quallick.
30. What is a disadvantage of snack exchanges?
A. Swappers easily get cheated.
B. Swappers have to spend more on shipping.
C. Swappers seldom find exactly what they want.
D. Swappers may spend more time than usual shopping.
31. What does Clarke say about snack exchanges?
A. They should be improved.
B. They promote cultural exchanges.
C. They are lacking in community spirit.
D. They should have detailed guides from swappers.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了网络平台SnackExchange让全球零食爱好者跨越疫情限制,通过邮寄交换家乡特色小吃,体验国际美食乐趣,促进文化交流。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“On SnackExchange, users trade the delights of their homeland by mail. First, you find someone on the board to swap with. You and your partner then post each other a box full of local finest processed foods, eventually uploading photos of your haul(收获) on the board for others to see.(在SnackExchange上,用户通过邮件交换自己家乡的美味特产。首先,你需在布告牌上找到一个交换伙伴。然后,你和你的伙伴会互相寄送一盒装满本地精选加工食品的包裹,并最终将你们的收获照片上传到布告牌上供其他人观看)”可知,第二段主要讲述了用户如何在SnackExchange平台上互寄零食。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“A co-worker of hers had eaten the chocolate bars on a trip to Australia in years past and fallen in love with them, but was then unable to source them at home. Quallick’s snack partner included 10 bars of the chocolate in her package. “To get some and bring them to her was pretty exciting,” Quallick said. “My colleague had tears in her eyes.””(她的一位同事几年前在澳大利亚旅行时吃过这种巧克力,并爱上了它们,但后来无法在家里找到它们。Quallick的零食伙伴在她的包装里放了10块巧克力。Quallick说:“能得到一些并把它们带给她真是太令人兴奋了。我的同事眼里噙着泪水”)”可知,Quallick的同事是因为从Quallick那里得到了她渴望已久的巧克力而流泪。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“But you should be prepared to spend twice as much on shipping as the actual snacks. (但你应该做好准备,运输费用可能会是实际零食费用的两倍)”可知,零食交换的一个缺点是交换者需要在运费上花费比实际零食多得多的钱。故选B项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Heather Clarke, a snack swapper from Melbourne says, “They’re often cultural exchanges as well. You get people going, ‘Can you tell me what this is?’” Often, users enclose(随信附上) instructions on how to best consume the snacks. Going the extra mile is in the spirit of the community. (来自墨尔本的零食交换者Heather Clarke表示:“这些交换往往也是文化上的交流。你会看到有人问:‘你能告诉我这是什么吗?’”通常,用户还会附上如何最佳享用这些零食的指南。这种额外的努力正是社区精神的体现)”可知,Heather Clarke认为零食交换不仅仅是关于食物,很多时候也促进文化交流。故选B项。
D
Having bright colors and greenery in our cities can make people happier and calmer, according to a recent experiment.
Researchers at the University of Lille tested how volunteers reacted to variations (变化) of a concrete (混凝土), glass and metal urban landscape. The participants walked on the spot in a laboratory wearing a VR headset with eye trackers, and researchers adjusted their surroundings, adding combinations of vegetation, as well as bright yellow and pink colors, and different patterns on the path. By tracking their blink (眨眼) rate, the researchers learned about what the volunteers were most interested in.
Researchers found the volunteers walked more slowly and their heart rate increased when they saw green vegetation in their urban setting. They also kept their heads higher, looking forward and around, instead of toward the ground. While adding and taking away color didn’t make quite as much of a difference for the participants, they were more curious and alert when colorful patterns were added to the ground they were virtually stepping on. According to Yvonne Delevoye-Turrell, a professor of cognitive psychology at the university and the lead author of this study, the results showed that the urban experience had been made more pleasurable.
The research, published in Frontiers, suggests that making some small changes to the city raises morale, even when people are experiencing them through virtual reality. “We think that the variations of human behavior obtained in virtual reality can predict the changes that would be obtained in the natural settings,” said Delevoye-Turrell.
Michal Matlon, an architecture psychologist and consultant, said: “We often don’t fully appreciate the compounding effects that enriching ordinary places with nature can have.” He added that even the smallest of changes could affect the experience of someone on their way to work, for example.
32. What did researchers try to find in their experiment?
A. What landscape interests urban people most.
B. What helps people adjust to new surroundings.
C. The effects of vegetation and color in urban settings.
D. The most appealing colors and patterns for urban paths.
33. What happened when the participants were shown green vegetation?
A. Their hearts beat faster.
B. They focused on the ground.
C. They became nervous and alert.
D. They increased their walking speed.
34. What does the underlined word “morale” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Health. B. Abilities. C. Spirits. D. Imagination.
35. What would Michal Matlon probably think is of benefit?
A. Enriching our lives with colors.
B. Including nature in our daily lives.
C. Making regular, small changes in our lives.
D. Spending as much time as possible in nature.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了利用虚拟现实测试城市环境对人的情绪影响的实验。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Researchers at the University of Lille tested how volunteers reacted to variations(变化) of a concrete(混凝土), glass and metal urban landscape. The participants walked on the spot in a laboratory wearing a VR headset with eye trackers, and researchers adjusted their surroundings, adding combinations of vegetation, as well as bright yellow and pink colors, and different patterns on the path. By tracking their blink(眨眼) rate, the researchers learned about what the volunteers were most interested in.(里尔大学的研究人员测试了志愿者对混凝土、玻璃和金属城市景观变化的反应。参与者戴着带眼动仪的VR耳机在实验室里现场行走,研究人员调整了他们的周围环境,添加了植被的组合,以及明亮的黄色和粉色,以及路径上的不同图案。通过追踪他们的眨眼频率,研究人员了解到志愿者最感兴趣的是什么。)”可推知,为了测试了志愿者对极简主义混凝土、玻璃和金属城市景观的不同反应,研究人员增加了植被的组合,明黄色和粉红色的颜色,以及路径上的对比图案,所以是研究人员在他们的实验中试图发现城市环境中植被和色彩的影响。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers found the volunteers walked more slowly and their heart rate increased when they saw green vegetation in their urban setting. (研究人员发现,当志愿者在城市环境中看到绿色植被时,他们走得更慢,心率也会加快。)”可知,当参与者看到绿色植被时会心跳加快。故选A项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“According to Yvonne Delevoye-Turrell, a professor of cognitive psychology at the university and the lead author of this study, the results showed that the urban experience had been made more pleasurable.(该大学认知心理学教授、该研究的主要作者Yvonne Delevoye Turrell表示,研究结果表明,城市体验变得更加愉快。)”和第四段“making some small changes to the city raises morale(对城市进行一些小的改变可以鼓舞morale)”可知,改变城市,增加一些绿色植被和颜色,城市生活变得更加愉快,也就是提高人们的精神状态,推知morale和C项意思相近。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Michal Matlon, an architecture psychologist and consultant, said: ‘We often don’t fully appreciate the compounding effects that enriching ordinary places with nature can have.’ He added that even the smallest of changes could affect the experience of someone on their way to work, for example.(建筑心理学家兼顾问Michal Matlon说:‘我们往往没有充分意识到用自然丰富普通地方所产生的复合效应。’他补充说,例如,即使是最微小的变化也可能影响一个人在上班路上的体验。)”可知,Michal Matlon认为人们没有完全理解花时间在大自然中是多么有益,以及最小的变化也会影响人们在上班路上的体验,所以他认为应该将自然融入我们的日常生活。故选B项。
第二节(共5个小题;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。
Social media can connect you to friends and family, bring you the latest and most important news, and help you discover things you would never come across otherwise. ____36____. They can lead to negative emotions or distract you from important tasks. Your first thought may be to delete your accounts completely, but you may miss out on all of the benefits. Why not use some of these smart strategies to help you find a good balance?
•____37____
The contacts on your social media can add up quickly over time as we constantly follow more people. Adding in other junk accounts can make things even worse. The next time you load up one of your social media apps, take some time to unfollow the accounts and people you’re no longer interested in. ____38____. If you’re only following 50 people on twitter, for example, you know that you’re not missing too much if you’re only checking your timeline once a day.
•Turn off notices

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些使用社交媒体的策略和技巧,以帮助我们能够平衡其利弊。
【36题详解】
根据空后内容“They can lead to negative emotions or distract you from important tasks.(它们会导致负面情绪或分散你对重要任务注意力)”可知,下文讲述的是社交媒体带来的消极影响。空前“Social media can connect you to friends and family, bring you the latest and most important news, and help you discover things you would never come across otherwise.(社交媒体可以将你与朋友和家人联系起来,带给你最新和最重要的新闻,并帮助你发现你在其他情况下永远不会遇到的事情)”陈述社交媒体带来的好处;由此推知,空处内容应承上启下。选项E“However, social media contact may cause you problems(然而,社交媒体接触可能会给你带来问题)”中的“however”表明其与上文存在转折关系,同时引出下文社交媒体可能带来的消极影响。故选E。
【37题详解】
空处为小标题,为本段主要内容。根据下文“The contacts on your social media can add up quickly over time as we constantly follow more people. Adding in other junk accounts can make things even worse. The next time you load up one of your social media apps, take some time to unfollow the accounts and people you’re no longer interested in.(随着我们不断关注更多的人,你的社交媒体上的联系人会随着时间的推移迅速增加。添加其他垃圾账户会让事情变得更糟。下次你打开社交媒体应用时,花点时间取消关注那些你不再感兴趣的账户和人)”可知,本段主要建议我们取消关注那些你不再感兴趣的账户和人。选项B“Follow fewer people(关注更少的人)”与本段内容相符,可以作为小标题。故选B。
【38题详解】
根据空后内容“If you’re only following 50 people on twitter, for example, you know that you’re not missing too much if you’re only checking your timeline once a day.(如果你在twitter上只关注了50个人,你知道如果你每天只查看一次你的时间轴,你就不会错过太多)”可知,下文讲述的是关注的人少了,那么查看社交媒体的频率也少了。选项G“This will make a big difference to how often you check social media(这将对你查看社交媒体的频率产生很大的影响)”与下文内容相符,指的是关注的人少了,查看社交媒体的频率也减少了。故选G。
【39题详解】
根据空前内容“Fewer notices can help you keep focused and create a healthy habit of checking social media only when you really have to. Notices aren’t too difficult to control these days.(更少的通知可以帮助你保持专注,并养成一种健康的习惯,只在必要的时候才查看社交媒体。如今,通知并不难控制)”可知,上文主要建议了关闭通知会帮助我们保持专注,并提出控制通知并不难;由此推知,空处介绍如何控制通知,选项D“Take a look at the phone’s settings and you will see what you can change(看一看手机的设置,你就会知道你可以改变什么了)”与上文承接自然,指的是可以通过查看手机的设置,关闭一些通知。故选D。
【40题详解】
根据空后内容“and from there you can set how long you are allowed to use each app for. (从那里你可以设置你允许使用每个应用程序的时间)”可知,空处应该提到可以设置屏幕使用时间的程序。选项C“You can find Screen Time options in the Ios(你可以在IOS中找到屏幕使用时间选项)”与下文内容一致,指的是在IOS中找到屏幕使用时间选项,从而设置使用每个应用程序的时间。故选C。

【59题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:这些放生的鲟鱼是通过人工养殖饲养的,通常15个月大,体长在50厘米到80厘米之间。空处为非谓语动词,此处的measure为不及物动词,意为“测量的长度为”,无被动,应用现在分词形式作状语。故填measuring。

【63题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:自2021年长江水域10年禁渔令生效以来,珍稀水生生物的数量有所增加。由句意及空前的the population of rare aquatic可知此处应用名词复数形式creatures,意为不止一种稀有水生生物,作宾语。故填creatures。
【64题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意:例如,农业农村部在2022年进行的一项科学调查显示,长江江豚的数量已超过1200只,比五年前增加了23.42%。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为a scientific investigation,指物,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which。故填which。
【65题详解】

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】(Much) to his relief, students in poor areas can also access/have access to the Internet.
(Much) to his relief, the Internet is accessible to students in poor areas.
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语、动词短语和时态。表示“让某人无比欣慰的是”应用介词短语(much) to one’s relief,位于句首,作状语,表示“贫困地区的孩子”应用名词短语students in poor areas,作主语,表示“具有使用某物或接触某人的权利或机会”应用动词access或动词短语have access to,作谓语动词;或用形容词accessible“可到达的;可接近的;可使用的”的相关结构sth be accessible to sb,the Internet作主语,students in poor areas作宾语,由句意此处为客观陈述,应用一般现在时,故翻译为(Much) to his relief, students in poor areas can also access/have access to the Internet./(Much) to his relief, the Internet is accessible to students in poor areas。
67. 我朋友对伦敦很熟悉,尤其是它的历史和文化。(familiar; particular) (汉译英)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My friend is familiar with London, in particular its history and culture.

【详解】考查固定短语、固定句型、部分倒装、现在分词作宾语补足语和动名词复合结构。表示“专注于某事”应用动词短语be absorbed in...,此处可用其过去分词形式的形容词作状语,表示“画画”应用名词painting,作宾语,表示“注意到”应用动词notice,作谓语动词,由句意此处应用一般过去时,表示“降临;临近”应用动词或名词approach,表示“……的临近”为the approach of,作宾语;night/evening与approach之间为主动关系,应用现在分词表示主动,作宾语补足语或者动名词的复合结构作宾语;或者使用so...that... 句型,be absorbed in作主句谓语动词,应用一般过去时,从句谓语动词为notice,宾语为the approach of the night;so...that...结构中so+adj/adv位于句首时,主句使用部分倒装,所以也可以使用部分倒装的结构,故翻译为Absorbed in painting, Peter didn’t notice the evening/night(’s) approaching. / Peter was so absorbed in painting that he didn’t notice the approach of the night. / So absorbed was Peter in painting that he didn’t notice the approach of the night。
69. 中国人经常燃放爆竹来庆祝新年。(typical;set off) (汉译英)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】It’s typical of Chinese people to set off firecrackers to celebrate the new year.
Typically, Chinese people will set off firecrackers to celebrate the new year.
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词和动词短语。描述一般事实,句子应用一般现在时,“做某事是某人的典型行为”It’s typical of sb. to do sth.,It位于句首首字母大写,“中国人”Chinese people作介词of的宾语,“燃放爆竹”set off firecrackers,set用不定式形式,“来庆祝新年”to celebrate the new year,不定式在句中作目的状语。或:考查副词和动词短语。“通常,典型地”Typically在句中作状语,位于句首首字母大写,主语“中国人”Chinese people,will用作情态动词,表示习惯性、倾向性、趋势性行为而不专注于陈述将来,译为“(就)会”,“燃放”set off,set位于情态动词后应用原形形式,宾语“爆竹”firecrackers,后接不定式“来庆祝新年”to celebrate the new year做目的状语。故翻译为It’s typical of Chinese people to set off firecrackers to celebrate the new year.或Typically, Chinese people will set off firecrackers to celebrate the new year.
70. 请记住,你总是可以与家人和朋友一起度过艰难的时刻。(keep in mind; get through) (汉译英)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Please keep in mind that you can always get through the hard/tough/difficult times with family and friends.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语、名词、形容词和宾语从句。句子为肯定的祈使句,“请”用please,“记住”可用动词短语keep in mind that…,that引导名词性从句作keep的宾语;从句中主语“你”用you,“可以”应用情态动词can,“总是”用副词always,“度过”可用动词短语get through,且情态动词后get应用原形,“艰难的时刻”可用名词短语the hard/tough/difficult times,“与家人和朋友一起”可用介词with和名词短语family and friends搭配。故可译为:Please keep in mind that you can always get through the hard/tough/difficult times with family and friends.

I am not sure how many years ago it was, but I still had a cassette player (盒式磁带放录机) at the time. I had a lot of housework. I was tired of television and was in the mood for music. I pulled out one of my favorite cassettes. It started to play but before long the music stopped. I opened the player and saw the tape in the cassette was all pulled out and twisted (扭曲的). I tried to fix it, but it was already broken beyond repair. I frowned. I didn’t want to risk another of my cassettes with a tape-eating machine, but I really wanted some music.
Then I noticed my ancient record player in the corner. I walked over and dusted it off. I pulled out an old record of my mom’s that my dad had given me after she died. I turned on the record player and gently put the record on the turntable (唱机上的转盘). “Pop!” “Crack!” went the record for a second as I put the needle(唱针) down. Then a beautiful melody from my childhood started to play. I smiled and started to do my housework. The sweet songs I grew up on touched my soul. I felt the music coming out of me. I started to sing, letting my weak voice join in joyously with the music. I even dared to dance a little while I did the dishes. I smiled and laughed. My heart was filled with happiness. And at that moment I could feel the joy of the universe all around me. “This is how life is supposed to be!”
These days all my music is on CDs. My daughter says I am behind the times. She says I should buy a cellphone and download all the music I want. But instead, I think I will dust off those old records again, put them on that record player and start to sing along.
We all have music within us just waiting to get out. Don’t let your music die within you then. Share your song with the world. And don’t forget to dance a little too.

One of the best parts of travel is always the food. Or, more specifically, the junk food. It’s a delight people are unlikely to get to experience during the pandemic. But in one corner of the internet, hungry people are keeping the joy of international snacks alive.
On SnackExchange, users trade the delights of their homeland by mail. First, you find someone on the board to swap with. You and your partner then post each other a box full of local finest processed foods, eventually uploading photos of your haul(收获) on the board for others to see.
First created in 2010, SnackExchange’s membership now totals 102,000. Most come to experience snacks they can’t find at home.
For the users who take part in snack exchanges, it’s a way to learn more about the world. For Meghan Quallick, a snack swapper from California, part of the motivation for swapping with an Australian was to get a specific item: Cadbury Black Forest bars. A co-worker of hers had eaten the chocolate bars on a trip to Australia in years past and fallen in love with them, but was then unable to source them at home. Quallick’s snack partner included 10 bars of the chocolate in her package. “To get some and bring them to her was pretty exciting,” Quallick said. “My colleague had tears in her eyes.”
Snack exchanges do come with obvious financial disadvantages. Part of the process is to agree on a budget before you swap – on average that’s around the US$40-50 mark. But you should be prepared to spend twice as much on shipping as the actual snacks. Occasionally swappers get scammed(欺骗) by partners who don’t deliver on their end of the deal.
Often, the snack exchanges are about more than just the food. Heather Clarke, a snack swapper from Melbourne says, “They’re often cultural exchanges as well. You get people going, ‘Can you tell me what this is?’” Often, users enclose(随信附上) instructions on how to best consume the snacks. Going the extra mile is in the spirit of the community.
28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The history of snack exchanges.
B. Why people love to exchange snacks.
C. How users exchange snacks on SnackExchange.
D. The influence the pandemic has on snack exchanges.
29. Why did Quallick’s colleague cry?
A. She quarreled with Quallick.
B. She failed to find a swapper herself.
C. She found the snack she ate before online.
D. She got what she desired to eat from Quallick.
30. What is a disadvantage of snack exchanges?
A. Swappers easily get cheated.
B. Swappers have to spend more on shipping.
C. Swappers seldom find exactly what they want.
D Swappers may spend more time than usual shopping.
31. What does Clarke say about snack exchanges?
A. They should be improved.
B. They promote cultural exchanges.
C. They are lacking in community spirit.
D. They should have detailed guides from swappers.
D
Having bright colors and greenery in our cities can make people happier and calmer, according to a recent experiment.
Researchers at the University of Lille tested how volunteers reacted to variations (变化) of a concrete (混凝土), glass and metal urban landscape. The participants walked on the spot in a laboratory wearing a VR headset with eye trackers, and researchers adjusted their surroundings, adding combinations of vegetation, as well as bright yellow and pink colors, and different patterns on the path. By tracking their blink (眨眼) rate, the researchers learned about what the volunteers were most interested in.
Researchers found the volunteers walked more slowly and their heart rate increased when they saw green vegetation in their urban setting. They also kept their heads higher, looking forward and around, instead of toward the ground. While adding and taking away color didn’t make quite as much of a difference for the participants, they were more curious and alert when colorful patterns were added to the ground they were virtually stepping on. According to Yvonne Delevoye-Turrell, a professor of cognitive psychology at the university and the lead author of this study, the results showed that the urban experience had been made more pleasurable.
The research, published in Frontiers, suggests that making some small changes to the city raises morale, even when people are experiencing them through virtual reality. “We think that the variations of human behavior obtained in virtual reality can predict the changes that would be obtained in the natural settings,” said Delevoye-Turrell.
Michal Matlon an architecture psychologist and consultant, said: “We often don’t fully appreciate the compounding effects that enriching ordinary places with nature can have.” He added that even the smallest of changes could affect the experience of someone on their way to work, for example.
32. What did researchers try to find in their experiment?
A. What landscape interests urban people most.
B. What helps people adjust to new surroundings.
C. The effects of vegetation and color in urban settings.
D. The most appealing colors and patterns for urban paths.
33. What happened when the participants were shown green vegetation?
A. Their hearts beat faster.
B. They focused on the ground.
C. They became nervous and alert.
D. They increased their walking speed.
34. What does the underlined word “morale” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Health. B. Abilities. C. Spirits. D. Imagination.
35. What would Michal Matlon probably think is of benefit?
A. Enriching our lives with colors.
B. Including nature in our daily lives.
C. Making regular, small changes in our lives.
D. Spending as much time as possible in nature.
