It’s about people. “My favorite thing about growing food is doing it with my family and friends.” she says.

After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park? I believe the answer must be “YES”. Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada’s national parks is getting smaller every year. And in countries such as the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century. Therefore, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example is the work of Dr. Matilda in Sweden. The doctor gave people a maths test. During the test, their heart rates(心率) were fast. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality(虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people’s in the other group. The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed. The natural world allows our brains to rest and slow down, and can leave us feeling happier and less stressed. Another example from Canada also shows nature is good for health. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city. In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks. Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want people to enjoy nature in their everyday life. In Dubai, people plan to build a new shopping mall with a large garden, so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. And South Korea has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. Getting close to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children. In Switzerland, “forest schools” are popular. School children study their subjects in the forests and exercise a lot outside. So after building cities for so long, perhaps it’s now time to start rebuilding nature. 31. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. People spend more time inside than outside. B. People think nature is good for our bodies. C. Only teenagers spend time outside every day. D. The number of people to parks changes every day. 32. After the maths test, which of the following helped slow the heart rates of people? A. The advice from the doctor. B. Pictures and sounds of nature. C. The maths problems in the test. D. The real natural world. 33. What do the results of the studies show in paragraph 3? A. The maths test is bad for health as it makes people nervous. B. People’s heart rates get slower in a 3D-virtual-reality room. C. More and more Canadians will move to live near parks. D. Nature can help people be more relaxed and healthier. 34. To help people enjoy nature, which of the following is not done by the countries? A. Building new forests near cities. B. Inventing a brain development programme. C. Planning a green area for shoppers. D. Having classes and doing sports in the forest. 35. What can we learn from the last sentence of the passage? A. Nature is more important than cities. B. Country life is healthier than city life. C. Nature should be part of people’s life. D. People have lived in cities for so long. 【答案】31. A 32. B 33. D 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了自然对人类的影响，亲近自然环境能让人更放松，呼吁大家让自然成为我们日常生活的一部分。 【31题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“humans are spending more time inside and less time outside”及“a problem”人们在室内比在室外的时间更多，很多医生认为这是一个问题，可知“this”指的是人们在室内比在室外更多。故选A。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality(虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people’s in the other group.”可知，一组人在有自然的图片和声音的教室里坐了15分钟，里面他们的心率比另一组的人慢。所以是自然的图片和声音帮助他们减缓心率速度，故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Their heart rates were slower than people’s in the other group. The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed.”以及”Another example from Canada also shows nature is good for health.“可知，与大自然的接触帮助人们感到更加放松和健康。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“In Dubai, people plan to build a new shopping mall with a large garden, so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. And South Korea has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. Getting close to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children. In Switzerland,‘forest schools’are popular. School children study their subjects in the forests and exercise a lot outside”可知，为了帮助人们享受自然，有些国家为购物者规划一个绿色区域，有些国家在城市附近构建自然环境，有些国家开设“森林学校”让学生在大自然中上课和运动，可知A、C、D选项文中都有提到。B选项“发明一个大脑发育项目”文章中没有提到。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“So after building cities for so long, perhaps it’s now time to start rebuilding nature.”可知，在建设了这么长时间的城市之后，也许现在是时候开始重建自然了，故推断作者在此呼吁大家让自然成为我们日常生活的一部分。故选C。 D Fear is the bad feeling that one has when he is in danger or when a particular thing frightens him. A German proverb goes “Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.” This is quite true as fear will often cause people to imagine the worst and act unreasonably. In that case, can fear be any good? Personally, I think a small amount of fear is good and even necessary as it not only acts as a form of control and prevention but also serves to motivate oneself. However, being overly fearful is bad as it will seriously hamper man’s progress. In this passage, I will discuss how fear can be a double-edged sword (双刃剑) bringing both advantages and disadvantages to man. Fear is good as it prevents people from doing dangerous acts and prompts (促使) them to control and regulate (约束) their behavior. Next, fear is good as it is a powerful motivator (促进因素). For people themselves such as students and businessmen, the fear of failure will prompt them to work hard and put in their best effort in their studies and business undertakings. This will lead to results and progress. Although fear is good, man must keep in mind that too much fear may be harmful to his development. Being overly fearful of the unknown will prevent people from-venturing (敢于去) into areas previously unexplored. For example, in the area of space exploration, Apolo 11 would have never landed the first humans on the moon if they had let fear get in the way of their dream. To get great achievements, man must learn to beat his fear and find the courage to overcome the difficulties that life presents. Only then can the human race continue to make progress and enjoy the sweet smell of success. In sum, fear is good as it will finally lead to a well-controlled and motivated (积极的) society. Nevertheless, people must keep in mind that they should not be clouded (使糊涂) by fear as it will stop their progress. I believe that a small dose (剂量) of fear and a good deal of courage will make a great man as such a man will have the spirit to follow his goals and the sense (意识) to act responsibly in the process. 36. What’s the meaning of the sentence “Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.” in paragraph 1? A. If a person feels fear, the wolf will be bigger. B. If a wolf is bigger, the person will feel terrible. C. Fear makes persons think the wolf is smaller than before. D. Fear will cause people to imagine the worst and act unreasonably. 37. What does “hamper” mean in paragraph 2? A. prevent B. make C. overcome D. help 38. The writer mentions Apolo 11 in Paragraph 4 to show that ________. A. exploration helps us to realize our dreams B. people can overcome fears that life presents C. exploring the space is a good way to overcome fears D. people should not be overly afraid of the unknown areas 39. What can we learn from the passage? A. Failure in business can lead to good results. B. Fear can help people learn to behave properly. C. Failure in studies can help students make great progress. D. Fear of failure in studies can encourage students to study hard. 40. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A. To encourage us to overcome fear and act responsibly. B. To explain why a little amount of fear is of benefit to people. C. To advise us to be neither overly fearful nor completely fearless. D. To introduce the ways of preventing us from being overly fearful. 【答案】36. D 37. A 38. D 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了恐惧如何成为一把双刃剑，给人带来优点和缺点。 【36题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“This is quite true as fear will often cause people to imagine the worst and act unreasonably.”可知，恐惧会导致人们想象最坏的情况，并采取不合理的行动。故选D。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“However, being overly fearful is bad as it will seriously hamper man’s progress.”可知过于恐惧是不好的，因为它会严重阻碍人的进步。因此意思是“prevent”，故选A。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Apolo 11 would have never landed the first humans on the moon if they had let fear get in the way of their dream.”以及“Although fear is good, man must keep in mind that too much fear may be harmful to his development. Being overly fearful of the unknown will prevent people from-venturing (敢于去) into areas previously unexplored.”可知，对未知事物的过度恐惧会阻止人们冒险进入以前未被探索的领域。因此是为了显示人们不应该过分害怕未知的领域，故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For people themselves such as students and businessmen, the fear of failure will prompt them to work hard and put in their best effort in their studies and business undertakings.”可知，对于学生和商人等人来说，对失败的恐惧会促使他们努力工作，并在学习和商业事业中尽最大努力。故选D。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。本文讲述了恐惧如何成为一把双刃剑，给人带来优点和缺点。因此本文是为了建议我们既不要过于恐惧，也不要完全无所畏惧。故选C。 三、阅读理解七选五 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。(10分) When you use a knife and fork, you have to take the knife with your right hand and the fork with your left hand, or you can’t put food into your mouth.

She has a huge garden that produces over 100 pounds of food each year! But for this seven-year-old girl, gardening isn’t just about fruits and vegetables. It’s about people. “My favorite thing about growing food is doing it with my family and friends.” she says. Kendall began gardening at the age of three, when her grandmother gave her some potatoes, Grandma told her. “Don’t throw away the small ones, because if you put them in the ground, they will grow back.” Kendall tried it and was amazed when the small potatoes grew new leaves. Soon after, her parents put in a small yard garden. When friends came over, Kendall enjoyed sharing what she knew. And she says. “My friends help me water and care for the plants.” At the age of six, she became the youngest licensed farmer in Georgia. Today, her garden has grown to include sixty plant beds and twelve trees! When the vegetables and fruits are ripe (成熟的), Kendall says, “I pick them, then I do a food sale so other kids and families can have some.” People who don’t have enough food are invited to take what they need. Kendall is an inspiration to other kids too. She speaks at libraries and schools and hosts a community garden club for kids. “I also invite kids to visit my garden and help me with it to see how fun it is,” she says. “Growing food takes a lot of work, but together you can do it.” 21. Kendall spends much time in the garden to ________. A. make money for her friends B. play games with her family there C. host a community sports club for kids D. enjoy growing food with her family and friends 22. Which vegetable did Kendall plant first? A. Tomatoes. B. Potatoes. C. Cabbage. D. Carrots. 23. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Eating the small potatoes in her mouth. B. Putting the small potatoes in the ground. C. Watering the small potatoes in the garden. D. Throwing the small potatoes in the trash bin. 24. What did Kendall’s friends do when they came to her garden? A. They helped take care of the plants. B. They brought the food that they grew. C. They built a gardening school. D.

Travel book. B. News report. C. Magazine about the arts. D. Language school website. C How do you feel about nature? After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park? I believe the answer must be “YES”. Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada’s national parks is getting smaller every year. And in countries such as the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century. Therefore, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example is the work of Dr. Matilda in Sweden. The doctor gave people a maths test. During the test, their heart rates(心率) were fast. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality(虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people’s in the other group. The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed. The natural world allows our brains to rest and slow down, and can leave us feeling happier and less stressed. Another example from Canada also shows nature is good for health. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city. In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks. Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want people to enjoy nature in their everyday life. In Dubai, people plan to build a new shopping mall with a large garden, so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. And South Korea has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. Getting close to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children. In Switzerland, “forest schools” are popular. School children study their subjects in the forests and exercise a lot outside. So after building cities for so long, perhaps it’s now time to start rebuilding nature. 31. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. People spend more time inside than outside. B. People think nature is good for our bodies. C. Only teenagers spend time outside every day. D. The number of people to parks changes every day. 32. After the maths test, which of the following helped slow the heart rates of people? A. The advice from the doctor. B. Pictures and sounds of nature. C. The maths problems in the test. D. The real natural world. 33. What do the results of the studies show in paragraph 3? A. The maths test is bad for health as it makes people nervous. B. People’s heart rates get slower in a 3D-virtual-reality room. C. More and more Canadians will move to live near parks. D. Nature can help people be more relaxed and healthier. 34. To help people enjoy nature, which of the following is not done by the countries? A. Building new forests near cities. B. Inventing a brain development programme. C. Planning a green area for shoppers. D. Having classes and doing sports in the forest. 35. What can we learn from the last sentence of the passage? A. Nature is more important than cities. B. Country life is healthier than city life. C. Nature should be part of people’s life. D. People have lived in cities for so long. D Fear is the bad feeling that one has when he is in danger or when a particular thing frightens him. A German proverb goes “Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.” This is quite true as fear will often cause people to imagine the worst and act unreasonably. In that case, can fear be any good? Personally, I think a small amount of fear is good and even necessary as it not only acts as a form of control and prevention but also serves to motivate oneself. However, being overly fearful is bad as it will seriously hamper man’s progress. In this passage, I will discuss how fear can be a double-edged sword (双刃剑) bringing both advantages and disadvantages to man. Fear is good as it prevents people from doing dangerous acts and prompts (促使) them to control and regulate (约束) their behavior. Next, fear is good as it is a powerful motivator (促进因素). For people themselves such as students and businessmen, the fear of failure will prompt them to work hard and put in their best effort in their studies and business undertakings. This will lead to results and progress. Although fear is good, man must keep in mind that too much fear may be harmful to his development. Being overly fearful of the unknown will prevent people from-venturing (敢于去) into areas previously unexplored. For example, in the area of space exploration, Apolo 11 would have never landed the first humans on the moon if they had let fear get in the way of their dream. To get great achievements, man must learn to beat his fear and find the courage to overcome the difficulties that life presents. Only then can the human race continue to make progress and enjoy the sweet smell of success. In sum, fear is good as it will finally lead to a well-controlled and motivated (积极的) society. Nevertheless, people must keep in mind that they should not be clouded (使糊涂) by fear as it will stop their progress. I believe that a small dose (剂量) of fear and a good deal of courage will make a great man as such a man will have the spirit to follow his goals and the sense (意识) to act responsibly in the process. 36. What’s the meaning of the sentence “Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.” in paragraph 1? A. If a person feels fear, the wolf will be bigger. B. If a wolf is bigger, the person will feel terrible. C. Fear makes persons think the wolf is smaller than before. D. Fear will cause people to imagine the worst and act unreasonably. 37. What does “hamper” mean in paragraph 2? A. prevent B. make C. overcome D. help 38. The writer mentions Apolo 11 in Paragraph 4 to show that ________. A. exploration helps us to realize our dreams B. people can overcome fears that life presents C. exploring the space is a good way to overcome fears D. people should not be overly afraid of the unknown areas 39. What can we learn from the passage? A. Failure in business can lead to good results. B. Fear can help people learn to behave properly. C. Failure in studies can help students make great progress. D. Fear of failure in studies can encourage students to study hard. 40. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A. To encourage us to overcome fear and act responsibly. B. To explain why a little amount of fear is of benefit to people. C. To advise us to be neither overly fearful nor completely fearless. D. To introduce the ways of preventing us from being overly fearful. 三、阅读理解七选五 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。(10分) When you use a knife and fork, you have to take the knife with your right hand and the fork with your left hand, or you can’t put food into your mouth.
