For the study, a psychologist, a physicist and a statistician from BYU teamed up to compare daily environmental data from the university's Physics and Astronomy Weather Station with emotional health data archived by day for 16,452 adult patients who were being treated at the university's Counseling and Psychological Services.Other weather variables(可变因素) including temperature, pollution and rain were not found to have an impact on mental health. “We were surprised that many of the weather and pollution variables we included in the study were not significantly related to patients' scores once we had accounted for sun time.”said Dr.Mark Beecher, a professor of psychology at the university and the study's lead author. Exposure to sunlight is a significant factor in seasonal affective disorder.Research has shown that the brain produces more of the feel­good neurotransmitter serotonin on sunny days than it does on darker days.What's more, lack of sunlight is linked with lower vitamin D levels, which in turn has been correlated with depression and low energy. In addition to seeking professional help if you need it, taking a walk in the sun can help.Walking in nature is known to reduce stress, improve cognitive function, lighten the mood and even put the brain into a peaceful state. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究，研究表明，晒太阳对于调节人的情绪、促进人的心理健康有很大的益处。 5．According to the new research, what can make people happier? A．Less pollution. B．Fewer rainy days. C．More cold weather. D．More exposure to sunlight. 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知，最新研究发现，更多地暴露在阳光下能让人们更快乐。 6．The underlined word “archived” in the second paragraph means “ ”． A．composed　　　　 B．discussed C．recorded D．adjusted 解析：C　词义猜测题。根据第二段内容可知，在这项研究中，来自BYU的一名心理学家、一名物理学家和一名统计师合作，将该大学物理和天文气象站的日常环境数据与该大学咨询和心理服务部每天存档的16 452名成年患者的情绪健康数据进行比较。所以通过上下文语境可以判断出，“archived”一词是指“记录”的意思。 7．What did the researchers think of the findings of the research? A．They were as expected. B．They were surprising. C．They needed professional proof. D．They were not inclusive enough. 解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段中Dr.Mark Beecher所说的话可知，研究人员很惊讶，他们纳入研究的许多天气和污染变量，在考虑了日照时间后，与患者的得分没有显著关联。所以研究人员认为研究结果令人惊讶。 8．What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A．To inform readers of a new study. B．To tell people a piece of good news. C．To introduce a new way to gain happiness. D．To explain the benefits of walking in nature. 解析：A　写作意图题。通读全文可知，文章第一段介绍了一项新的研究发现：阳光照射是迄今为止影响心理健康的最大天气因素。更多的阳光，更多的幸福。下文则是对该研究的具体介绍。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是告诉读者一项新的研究。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2023·新课标Ⅰ卷)On Oct.11, hundreds of runners competed in a cross­country race in Minnesota.Melanie Bailey should have 1 the course earlier than she did.Her 2 came because she was carrying a 3 across the finish line.
