B I was in my mid-20s when I fell into one of the most poisonous relationships of my life. I remember buying my first self-help book, which promised I could be healed of anything. I couldn’t put it down in days. Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self-help books, courses and apps, and tracked down every self-styled personal improvement expert in the hope that they could teach me how to become happier, more confident and more lovable. Growing up in an environment of addiction and family conflict made me desperate for self-improvement. I believed self-help authors could be the instructors I had never found. My dependency became strong after my father died in 2022. I managed to spend an enormous amount of time reading about how to grieve (哀痛) well instead of doing the right things: sitting with my feelings, allowing myself to cry and processing the loss. My dependency on self-help had become poisonous, and something had to give. It started to dawn on me that instead of helping me, the advice was making me feel worse. It took a deep conversation with a loved one to recognise that in trying to change my life, I was trying to change things that were out of my control. Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I had to quit self-help to learn and accept who I really was. Spending time alone, often walking, and listening to my thoughts without trying to silence or change them helped. Since I quit my self-help walking stick, I’ve realized that focusing all my energy on improving myself can really take the joy out of life. It makes happiness conditional: only when I look that way can I be loved. It can also stop me from unconditionally accepting my imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I am finally coming round to the idea that perhaps I never needed fixing at all. 4. Why did the author become dependent on self-help materials? A. To build good relationships. B. To test a book’s promise. C. To find guides to better herself. D. To heal from her father’s loss. 5. What can we learn about the author from paragraph 2? A. She became addicted to drugs in childhood. B. She found a proper way to honour her father. C. Long time of reading helped her out of feeling bad. D. Her upbringing environment greatly influenced her. 6. What drove the author to stop self-improvement at last? A. An in-depth talk with a beloved. B. Her awareness of poisonous relationships. C. The suggestion from an instructor. D. Constant self-improvement learning. 7. What does the author want to convey in the passage? A. Accepting who you are. B. Becoming a better self. C. Learning to look lovable. D. Looking at the bright side. C Fantasy author George Martin has spent 12 years working on The Winds of Winter, the long-awaited sixth part in the series that excited the book fans. With no publishing date in sight, one fan decided to write the story himself, or rather, he asked ChatGPT to write it for him. Surprisingly, the AI quickly produced a 683,276-word work of high quality. But this raises an important question whether AI programs like ChatGPT really produce the kind of writing that moves us and speaks to our souls. “There is a misunderstanding that large language models are not good at writing in an artistic style,” an author Sean Michaels tells BBC. “In fact, they can do it easily and quite well, just like all the image-generating (生成) software can make photos in the styles of Wes Anderson or David Lynch.” For his novel Do You Remember Being Born, in which a poet is approached by a tech company to coauthor a collection of poems with their AI, Michaels created a special type of ChatGPT he called “Moorebot”, which through training learned to write in the style of real-world poet Marianne Moore, further making the distinction (区分) between human and machine unclear. Although some writers oppose the rise of AI out of concern for their jobs, others have put the debate in an older, broader dialogue on the meaning and purpose of art. The Oscar-winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman has openly expressed his dislike of machine learning. Looking beyond the standard definition of creativity — creating something new and original — Kaufman describes art as any form of expression that establishes an emotional connection between people. Even if AI were capable of writing something emotional, which Michaels claimed it can, Kaufman would refuse to recognise this as art. “If I read a poem,” he recently said in a statement on AI, “and that poem moves me. I am in love with the person who wrote it. I can’t be in love with a computer program. I can’t, because it isn’t anything.” 8. Why is the story of the book fan told? A. To show the popularity of the series. B. To introduce an important question on AI. C. To arouse concern about human writers. D. To prove the writing efficiency of ChatGPT. 9. What are paragraph 2 and 3 mainly about? A. The way that AI writing works. B. A misunderstanding of ChatGPT. C. An example in favour of AI creation. D. The writing methods of Michael’s novel. 10. Which can be considered as art according to Charlie Kaufman? A. A program-generated novel. B. A perfect copy of Wes Anderson’s. C. An emotional poem by ChatGPT. D. A girl’s drawing to her mum. 11. What can be the best title of the text? A. Can AI Create True Art? B. ChatGPT: Greatest Writer Ever? C. The Rise and Fall of AI Programs. D. Can Hi-Tech Have a Promising Future? D “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” So begins one of the most famous poems in all of English literature. Shakespeare’s “Sonnet XVIII” is also one of the most frequently cited in usage books as support for the view that “compare to” means to express a likeness, whereas “compare with” is used for contrasts. But the picture is not simple. Shakespeare goes on to say that the woman he is addressing is “more lovely” and that she, unlike a summer’s day, will never fade. Some commentators say, then, that the question is meant to be answered with a “no”, because of the differences he then stresses. In that case, though, what follows is a textbook example of comparing her “with”, not “to”, a summer’s day. Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage examined many literary examples of “compare” followed by “with” and “to”. Its editors found that after the active form (compare) the distinction is often kept. After the past participle (compared) the variation is in effect random (随机地). Usage experts understand that drawing up neat rules can be tough. Yet careful writers know that some distinctions are important, and that underestimating these invites confusion. It is clear enough why people mix up “flout” (藐视) and “flaunt” (炫耀), including sensible writers who are in a hurry. But if you flout the distinction, you risk appearing to flaunt your ignorance. Relaxed observers sometimes note that language changes, as though nothing can be done about that, and, since the process is natural, nothing should be attempted. But two different words collapsing into one really can make language lose its subtleties. Using “strategy” for ‘tactics” — one refers to the long-term plan to win a war, the other the short-term methods used to win a battle — should unsettle not only military experts but also individuals outside the military. Some people are good tacticians and terrible strategists. Which are which can be hard to tell. But if you can take the time to distinguish “compare to” from “compare with”, understanding those rules worth fighting for is surely worth the effort too. 12. What does the author intend to show in the first two paragraphs? A. The status of Sonnet XVIII. B. The importance of correct usage. C. The language skill of Shakespeare. D. The complexity of word choice. 13. What might the editors discover about “compare to” and “compare with”? A. They may mean differently in different forms. B. They are used with equal frequency. C. They are always interchangeable. D. They can be told apart easily. 14. What may the underlined word “subtleties” mean in paragraph 5? A. Literary charms. B. Important details. C. Similar meanings. D. Military functions. 15. What does the author think of language rules? A. We have to take it as they change. B. They cause confusion in writing. C. We should learn those valuable. D. They are too difficult to follow. 第二节（共5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。 When I was asked to take part in a forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must involve a refreshing swim in the water. ____16____ I met Forest Therapy (治疗) guide Melanic Choukas- Bradley and several other women who’d come along for the adventure at an urban forest. Here, I began to get it. Forest bathing isn’t a bath. We sat on the banks of the river, but we did not get in the water. ____17____ We did walk the forest tracks, but we wandered with no destination in mind. The aim of forest bathing, Choukas-Bradley explained, is to slow down and become fully bathed in the natural environment. She helped us tune in to the forest’s smells, tastes and sights. ___18___ As we passed through the trees, we touched their trunks, feeling the roughness beneath our fingers. We smelled the flowers, each breath being a celebration of nature’s beauty. There’s a growing body of evidence that shows forest bathing can help boost mood and reduce stress. ____19____ A 2011 study comparing city walks to forest walks found the forest environment led to greater reductions in blood pressure, despite both activities requiring equal physical effort. ____20____ Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there. A. It’s not a hike, either. B. It turns out that my interpretation was literal. C. The benefits of nature can be accessed simply. D. Forest bathing frees us from worldly engagements. E. The idea that spending time in nature is good is not new. F. Indeed, medical researchers have demonstrated its benefits. G.

Looking at the bright side. 【答案】4 C 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从过度依赖自助材料寻求自我改善，到最终学会接受自己，不再追求条件性的幸福的心路历程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self-help books, courses and apps, and tracked down every self-styled personal improvement expert in the hope that they could teach me how to become happier, more confident and more lovable. (在接下来的15年里，我买了数百本自助书籍、课程和应用程序，并追踪了每一位自称为个人进步专家的人，希望他们能教我如何变得更快乐、更自信、更可爱。)”可知，作者热衷于自助材料是为了寻找能让自己变得更好的指导，故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Growing up in an environment of addiction and family conflict made me desperate for self-improvement. (在吸毒成瘾和家庭矛盾的环境中长大，让我渴望自我提升。)”可知，作者的成长环境对她影响极大。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“It took a deep conversation with a loved one to recognise that in trying to change my life, I was trying to change things that were out of my control. Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I had to quit self-help to learn and accept who I really was. Spending time alone, often walking, and listening to my thoughts without trying to silence or change them helped. (经过与一位亲人的深入交谈，我认识到，试图改变生活的同时，我也在试图改变那些无法控制的事情。与其专注于我想成为的人，不如停止依赖自助书籍，去了解并接受真正的自己。独自一人时，常常散步，倾听内心的声音，而不试图压抑或改变它们，这对我有很大帮助。)”可知，是与亲人的深入对话让作者改变。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段“Since I quit my self-help walking stick, I’ve realized that focusing all my energy on improving myself can really take the joy out of life. It makes happiness conditional: only when I look that way can I be loved. It can also stop me from unconditionally accepting my imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I am finally coming round to the idea that perhaps I never needed fixing at all. (自从我不再依赖自助书籍这根拐杖，我意识到将所有精力集中在自我提升上，真的会让生活失去乐趣。这种做法使幸福变得有条件：只有当我达到某种标准时，才能被爱。它也会阻止我无条件地接受那个不算完美却也完美的自己。经过很长一段时间，我终于开始接受这样一个观点：也许我根本不需要任何修正。)”可知，作者想在文章中传达要学会接受自己。故选A。 C Fantasy author George Martin has spent 12 years working on The Winds of Winter, the long-awaited sixth part in the series that excited the book fans. With no publishing date in sight, one fan decided to write the story himself, or rather, he asked ChatGPT to write it for him. Surprisingly, the AI quickly produced a 683,276-word work of high quality. But this raises an important question whether AI programs like ChatGPT really produce the kind of writing that moves us and speaks to our souls. “There is a misunderstanding that large language models are not good at writing in an artistic style,” an author Sean Michaels tells BBC. “In fact, they can do it easily and quite well, just like all the image-generating (生成) software can make photos in the styles of Wes Anderson or David Lynch.” For his novel Do You Remember Being Born, in which a poet is approached by a tech company to coauthor a collection of poems with their AI, Michaels created a special type of ChatGPT he called “Moorebot”, which through training learned to write in the style of real-world poet Marianne Moore, further making the distinction (区分) between human and machine unclear. Although some writers oppose the rise of AI out of concern for their jobs, others have put the debate in an older, broader dialogue on the meaning and purpose of art. The Oscar-winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman has openly expressed his dislike of machine learning. Looking beyond the standard definition of creativity — creating something new and original — Kaufman describes art as any form of expression that establishes an emotional connection between people. Even if AI were capable of writing something emotional, which Michaels claimed it can, Kaufman would refuse to recognise this as art. “If I read a poem,” he recently said in a statement on AI, “and that poem moves me. I am in love with the person who wrote it. I can’t be in love with a computer program. I can’t, because it isn’t anything.” 8. Why is the story of the book fan told? A. To show the popularity of the series. B. To introduce an important question on AI. C. To arouse concern about human writers. D. To prove the writing efficiency of ChatGPT. 9. What are paragraph 2 and 3 mainly about? A. The way that AI writing works. B. A misunderstanding of ChatGPT. C. An example in favour of AI creation. D. The writing methods of Michael’s novel. 10. Which can be considered as art according to Charlie Kaufman? A. A program-generated novel. B. A perfect copy of Wes Anderson’s. C. An emotional poem by ChatGPT. D. A girl’s drawing to her mum. 11. What can be the best title of the text? A. Can AI Create True Art? B. ChatGPT: Greatest Writer Ever? C. The Rise and Fall of AI Programs. D. Can Hi-Tech Have a Promising Future? 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕AI（如ChatGPT）在文学创作中的应用及其引发的争议进行了讨论，提出了关于AI是否能创作出真正触动人心的艺术作品的问题，并引用了不同人的观点和看法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Fantasy author George Martin has spent 12 years working on The Winds of Winter, the long-awaited sixth part in the series that excited the book fans. With no publishing date in sight, one fan decided to write the story himself, or rather, he asked ChatGPT to write it for him. Surprisingly, the AI quickly produced a 683,276-word work of high quality. But this raises an important question whether AI programs like ChatGPT really produce the kind of writing that moves us and speaks to our souls.(奇幻小说作家George Martin花了12年时间创作《凛冬的狂风》，这是书迷们翘首以盼的系列小说的第六部。由于出版日期遥遥无期，一位书迷决定亲自撰写这个故事，或者更准确地说，他让ChatGPT为他撰写。令人惊讶的是，这个AI迅速产出了一部683,276字的高质量作品。但这引发了一个重要问题：像ChatGPT这样的AI程序真的能创作出触动我们心灵、与我们灵魂对话的作品吗？)”可知，文章作者讲述这位书迷的故事是为了引出关于AI写作是否能触动人心的重要问题。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段““There is a misunderstanding that large language models are not good at writing in an artistic style,” an author Sean Michaels tells BBC. “In fact, they can do it easily and quite well, just like all the image-generating (生成) software can make photos in the styles of Wes Anderson or David Lynch.”(“有一种误解，认为大型语言模型不擅长艺术风格的写作，”作家Sean Michaels告诉BBC。“事实上，它们可以很容易地做到这一点，而且做得相当好，就像所有图像生成软件都能制作出Wes Anderson或David Lynch风格的照片一样。”)”以及第三段“For his novel Do You Remember Being Born, in which a poet is approached by a tech company to coauthor a collection of poems with their AI, Michaels created a special type of ChatGPT he called “Moorebot”, which through training learned to write in the style of real-world poet Marianne Moore, further making the distinction (区分) between human and machine unclear.(在创作他的小说《你还记得出生吗？》时，一位诗人被一家科技公司邀请，与他们的AI合作创作一系列诗歌。Michaels为此创造了一种特殊的ChatGPT，他称之为“摩尔机器人”。通过训练，“摩尔机器人”学会了以现实世界中诗人Marianne Moore的风格写作，进一步模糊了人与机器之间的界限。)”可知，这两段都是围绕AI创作的能力展开论述的，都是在举例证明AI可以进行艺术创作。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The Oscar-winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman has openly expressed his dislike of machine learning. Looking beyond the standard definition of creativity — creating something new and original — Kaufman describes art as any form of expression that establishes an emotional connection between people.(奥斯卡获奖编剧Charlie Kaufman公开表达了他对机器学习厌恶。在超越创造力的标准定义——即创造新颖且原创的东西——之外， Kaufman将艺术描述为任何能在人与人之间建立情感联系的表达形式。)”可知，Charlie Kaufman认为艺术的本质不是复制已有的东西，而是表达人类的情感、与他人建立联系以及阐明人类状况，因此他对艺术的定义并不是基于是否由AI创作或作品的完美程度，而是基于作品是否能够表达新的想法和情感，选项D“A girl’s drawing to her mum.(一个女孩给她妈妈的画)”最有可能包含独特的个人情感和意图，因此最有可能被Charlie Kaufman视为艺术。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章第一段讲述了一位书迷使用ChatGPT创作了一本高质量的小说，从而引发了一个重要问题：像ChatGPT这样的AI程序真的能创作出触动我们心灵、与我们灵魂对话的作品吗，接着第二段和第三段通过反驳对ChatGPT的误解和举例论证了AI创作的能力，第四段和第五段通过引用电影制作人Charlie Kaufman的观点，进一步探讨了AI创作是否可以被视为艺术的问题，整篇文章都是围绕AI是否能创造真正的艺术这一问题展开的，因此选项A“(Can AI Create True Art?)AI能创造真正的艺术吗？”能够准确概括文章的主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A。 D “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” So begins one of the most famous poems in all of English literature. Shakespeare’s “Sonnet XVIII” is also one of the most frequently cited in usage books as support for the view that “compare to” means to express a likeness, whereas “compare with” is used for contrasts. But the picture is not simple. Shakespeare goes on to say that the woman he is addressing is “more lovely” and that she, unlike a summer’s day, will never fade. Some commentators say, then, that the question is meant to be answered with a “no”, because of the differences he then stresses. In that case, though, what follows is a textbook example of comparing her “with”, not “to”, a summer’s day. Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage examined many literary examples of “compare” followed by “with” and “to”. Its editors found that after the active form (compare) the distinction is often kept. After the past participle (compared) the variation is in effect random (随机地). Usage experts understand that drawing up neat rules can be tough. Yet careful writers know that some distinctions are important, and that underestimating these invites confusion. It is clear enough why people mix up “flout” (藐视) and “flaunt” (炫耀), including sensible writers who are in a hurry. But if you flout the distinction, you risk appearing to flaunt your ignorance. Relaxed observers sometimes note that language changes, as though nothing can be done about that, and, since the process is natural, nothing should be attempted. But two different words collapsing into one really can make language lose its subtleties. Using “strategy” for ‘tactics” — one refers to the long-term plan to win a war, the other the short-term methods used to win a battle — should unsettle not only military experts but also individuals outside the military. Some people are good tacticians and terrible strategists. Which are which can be hard to tell. But if you can take the time to distinguish “compare to” from “compare with”, understanding those rules worth fighting for is surely worth the effort too. 12. What does the author intend to show in the first two paragraphs? A. The status of Sonnet XVIII. B. The importance of correct usage. C. The language skill of Shakespeare. D. The complexity of word choice. 13. What might the editors discover about “compare to” and “compare with”? A. They may mean differently in different forms. B. They are used with equal frequency. C. They are always interchangeable. D. They can be told apart easily. 14. What may the underlined word “subtleties” mean in paragraph 5? A. Literary charms. B. Important details. C. Similar meanings. D. Military functions. 15. What does the author think of language rules? A. We have to take it as they change. B. They cause confusion in writing. C. We should learn those valuable. D. They are too difficult to follow. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过莎士比亚的“Sonnet XVIII”中“compare to”和“compare with”的用法，探讨了英语词汇选择的复杂性和正确使用的重要性，同时指出语言规则虽然难以制定，但仔细区分一些词汇的差异对于避免混淆和误解是至关重要的。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Shakespeare’s ‘Sonnet XVIII’ is also one of the most frequently cited in usage books as support for the view that ‘compare to’ means to express a likeness, whereas ‘compare with’ is used for contrasts.(莎士比亚的《十四行诗》第十八首也是用法书中最常引用的诗歌之一，用以支持‘compare to’表示相似，而‘compare with’用于对比的观点)”和第二段中“But the picture is not simple.(但情况并非如此简单)”可知，作者在前两段通过莎士比亚的诗歌引出“compare to”和“compare with”的用法，并指出实际情况并非那么简单，意在展示词汇选择的复杂性。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage examined many literary examples of ‘compare’ followed by ‘with’ and ‘to’. Its editors found that after the active form (compare) the distinction is often kept. After the past participle (compared) the variation is in effect random (随机地). (《韦氏英语用法词典》研究了许多“compare”后接“with”和“to”的文学例子。编辑们发现，在主动形式(compare)之后，这种区别通常保持不变。在过去分词(compared)之后，这种变化实际上是随机的)”可知，编辑们发现“compare to”和“compare with”在不同形式下可能意义不同。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句“But two different words collapsing into one really can make language lose its subtleties.(但两个不同的词合并成一个真的会让语言失去其_____)”以及后文“Using ‘strategy’ for ‘tactics’ — one refers to the long-term plan to win a war, the other the short-term methods used to win a battle — should unsettle not only military experts but also individuals outside the military.(用“strategy”代替“tactics”——一个指赢得战争的长期计划，另一个指赢得战斗的短期方法——这不仅会让军事专家感到不安，也会让军事以外的人感到不安)”可知，此处通过“strategy”和“tactics”这两个词虽然意思相近但不能互换使用的例子，来说明两个不同的词合并成一个会让语言失去其重要的细节或微妙之处。故画线词subtleties意思是“重要的细节”，与important details同义。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But if you can take the time to distinguish ‘compare to’ from ‘compare with’, understanding those rules worth fighting for is surely worth the effort too.(但如果你能花时间区分‘compare to’和‘compare with’，那么理解那些值得为之奋斗的规则也一定值得付出努力)”可知，作者认为如果我们能花时间区分一些容易混淆的词汇，那么理解那些值得为之奋斗的语言规则也是值得的，由此可推知，作者认为我们应该学习那些有价值的语言规则。故选C项。 第二节（共5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。 When I was asked to take part in a forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must involve a refreshing swim in the water. ____16____ I met Forest Therapy (治疗) guide Melanic Choukas- Bradley and several other women who’d come along for the adventure at an urban forest. Here, I began to get it. Forest bathing isn’t a bath. We sat on the banks of the river, but we did not get in the water. ____17____ We did walk the forest tracks, but we wandered with no destination in mind. The aim of forest bathing, Choukas-Bradley explained, is to slow down and become fully bathed in the natural environment. She helped us tune in to the forest’s smells, tastes and sights. ___18___ As we passed through the trees, we touched their trunks, feeling the roughness beneath our fingers. We smelled the flowers, each breath being a celebration of nature’s beauty. There’s a growing body of evidence that shows forest bathing can help boost mood and reduce stress. ____19____ A 2011 study comparing city walks to forest walks found the forest environment led to greater reductions in blood pressure, despite both activities requiring equal physical effort. ____20____ Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there. A. It’s not a hike, either. B. It turns out that my interpretation was literal. C. The benefits of nature can be accessed simply. D. Forest bathing frees us from worldly engagements. E. The idea that spending time in nature is good is not new. F. Indeed, medical researchers have demonstrated its benefits. G. We took in the peaceful surroundings by using all our senses. 【答案】16. B 17. A 18. G 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是森林浴以及森林浴的好处等。 【16题详解】 根据上文“When I was asked to take part in a forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit, assuming it must involve a refreshing swim in the water.(当我被邀请参加森林浴时，我带上了泳衣，以为一定是在水里游个痛快)”可知，上文提到作者以为森林浴就是去游泳，即从字面上理解了这个概念。故B选项“原来我理解的是字面意思”符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“We sat on the banks of the river, but we did not get in the water.(我们坐在河岸上，但没有下水)”以及后文“We did walk the forest tracks, but we wandered with no destination in mind.(我们确实沿着森林小径走了，但我们漫无目的地徘徊)”可知，本句主要是在介绍森林浴的特点，不是下水游泳，只是漫无目的地徘徊，说明是无目的的散步，不是有目的地徒步旅行。故A选项“也不是徒步旅行”符合语境，故选A。 【18题详解】 根据后文“As we passed through the trees, we touched their trunks, feeling the roughness beneath our fingers. We smelled the flowers, each breath being a celebration of nature’s beauty.(当我们穿过树林时，我们触摸着树干，感受着手指下的粗糙。我们闻着花香，每一次呼吸都是对大自然之美的赞美)”可知，提到了触摸、感受、闻着、呼吸，都是在强调感官体验。故G选项“我们运用一切感官感受这宁静的环境”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“There’s a growing body of evidence that shows forest bathing can help boost mood and reduce stress.(越来越多的证据表明，森林浴可以帮助改善情绪，减轻压力)”以及后文“A 2011 study comparing city walks to forest walks found the forest environment led to greater reductions in blood pressure, despite both activities requiring equal physical effort.(2011年的一项研究比较了城市散步和森林散步，发现森林环境更能降低血压，尽管这两种活动都需要同样的体力)”可知，本句为过渡句，指出有研究证明了森林浴可以帮助改善情绪，减轻压力，同时引出后文的研究内容。故F选项“事实上，医学研究人员已经证明了它的好处”符合语境，故选F。 20题详解】 根据后文“Most of human history was spent in environments that lack buildings and walls, and our bodies have adapted to living in the natural world. But today most of us spend much of our life indoors. Perhaps the new forest bathing trend is a recognition that many of us need a little nudge to get back out there.(人类历史的大部分时间都是在没有建筑和墙壁的环境中度过的，我们的身体已经适应了在自然界的生活。但是今天，我们大多数人的大部分时间都在室内度过。也许新的森林浴潮流是一种认识，即我们中的许多人需要一点推动才能回到那里)”可知，后文提到人类的身体已经适应了在自然界的生活，且需要推动回到大自然，说明是在建议花时间亲近大自然。故E选项“花时间在大自然中是件好事的想法并不新鲜”符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When the three women spotted an abandoned property used as a dumping ground in Providence, USA, they agreed this neglected and ___21___ parcel of land actually held promise.
