课时作业 巩固提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·山东青岛测试)Imagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came out of a supermarket box, meaning it was probably harvested when it was still unripe. By the time it reached the plate it may have been off the vine (藤) for two weeks. The other strawberry was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten.
Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages: They are convenient and still available even in winter months. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing music in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old CD player. The home-grown fruit is an eatable case for making a home garden.
Your columnist, who long considered gardening a complete waste of time, advances this argument with great enthusiasm. Planting cool-weather greens, as gardeners across the northeast of America are now doing, can seem nonsense, since convenient, continuously well-stocked supermarket shelves are available all week. But the same could be said of cooking: There are many cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals?
That attitude misconstrues the ultimate appeal of gardening: It mistakes the product for the purpose. It is true that a garden can produce tomatoes and carrots of incomparable sweetness, and lettuces (莴苣) and herbs that taste like themselves rather than the plastic they are usually packaged in. While finding, let's say, lettuces in the shops can take some time, effort, and expense, growing your own vegetables insures a reliable supply.
On the other hand, a garden, especially in the early years, can produce little but frustration. Green hands may plant the wrong crops for their soil. And even expert gardeners can lose a season's harvest to uncooperative weather.
No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure—as with cooking, writing or almost anything worthwhile—is in the work itself. To garden is to patiently, lovingly and diligently help life become strong and healthy, in the ground and above it.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。作者以超市里的草莓和自家种的草莓为例,论述了自己对从事园艺的看法。

(2023·浙江绍兴诊断)Living in a city is a well-known risk factor for developing a mental disorder,while living close to nature is largely beneficial to mental health and the brain.A central brain region,the amygdala (杏仁核) involved in stress processing,has been shown to be less activated during stress in people living in rural areas,compared to
those who live in cities,hinting at the potential benefits of nature.“But so far the hen-and-egg problem could not be resolved,namely whether nature actually caused the effects in the brain or whether the particular individuals chose to live in rural or urban regions,”says Sonja Sudimac.
To achieve causal evidence,the researchers from the group examined brain activity in regions involved in stress processing in 63 healthy volunteers before and after a one-hour walk in Grunewald Forest or a shopping street with traffic in Berlin.The results revealed that activity in the amygdala decreased after the walk in nature,suggesting that nature elicits beneficial effects on brain regions related to stress.
“The results support the previously assumed positive relationship between nature and brain health,but this is the first study to prove the causal link.Interestingly,the brain activity after the urban walk in these regions remained stable and showed no increases,which argues against a commonly held view that urban exposure causes additional stress,”explains Simone Kühn,head of the group.
The authors show that nature has a positive impact on brain regions involved in stress processing and that it can already be observed after a one-hour walk.This contributes to the understanding of how our physical living environment affects brain and mental health.Even short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity,suggesting that a walk in nature could serve as a preventive measure against developing mental health problems and reducing the potentially disadvantageous impact of the city on the brain.
In order to investigate beneficial effects of nature in different populations and age groups,the researchers are currently working on a study examining how a one-hour walk in natural versus urban environments impacts stress in mothers and their babies.

1.考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句的谓语是has been,feature在句中作非谓语,与逻辑主语porcelain形成逻辑上的主谓关系,所以空处填featuring。
答案:featuring
2.考查形容词最高级。此处考查固定表达“one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数”,意为“最……之一”,所以空处填best。
答案:best
3.考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。结合时间状语in the Shang Dynasty可知,时态用一般过去时;主语the earliest one与find之间形成了被动关系;主语the earliest one表示第三人称单数概念,所以空处填was found。
答案:was found

4.考查介词。此处考查固定表达due to,意为“由于”,所以空处填to。
答案:to
5.考查冠词。necessity作“必需品”讲时为可数名词,结合句意“迅速成为日常生活的必需品”可知,此处表示泛指。necessity的发音以辅音音素开头,所以空处填a。
答案:a
6.考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰后面的介词短语,应用副词,所以空处填especially。
答案:especially
7.考查介词。此处考查固定表达in the form of,意为“以……的形式”,所以空处填in。
答案:in

8.考查词性转换。根据空前的the和空后的of可知,空处应用名词形式,所以空处应填development。
答案:development
9.考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处形成了一个非限制性定语从句。先行词为表示物的名词短语the Porcelain Capital,关系词在从句中作主语,所以空处填which。
答案:which
10.考查非谓语动词。此处考查固定表达be certain to do sth.,意为“一定会做某事”,所以空处填to satisfy。
答案:to satisfy
