For the first time,scientists in the UK found that art helps the immune(免疫的)，endocrine(内分泌的)and nervous systems all at once, said The Guardian.The study included 50 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 40.Half of them went to see real artworks at an art museum in London,while the other half looked at e-copies of the same paintings in a non-museum condition.All of them wore health sensors throughout the experiment. The result showed a 22 percent drop in stress hormones for the museum-goers and an 8 percent drop for the other group,according to Art Fund.Signs of inflammation (also went down by about 30 percent for the museum group. It's not just visual(视觉的)arts that have such effects(影响).For example,a2021 Swiss study said that dance reduces stress by improving movement control. What makes art so powerful?Scientists have different ideas.One,developed by Edward Vessel at the City College of New York,looks to our brain's default mode network(默认模式 )This network is widely believed to play a key role in creativity,and it is usually quiet when we focus on things in the outside world.However,when we enjoy art,the network becomes active along with other focus-related brain areas. Although we are still learning how this works,art's power has long been used in treatment. According to American Scientist,art therapy was first developed to help traumatized(心理受创 )World War II soldiers express themselves.The traumas often influenced their brain's speech centers,making traditional talk therapy less helpful.Since then,art therapy has benefited (.. 受益)over650 million people worldwide.. 37.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A.To show how art reduces people's stress. B.To prove that art is very important in life. C.To list some popular art forms to readers. D.To introduce how art can benefit people. 38.What does Vessel's theory suggest about art? A.It makes other parts of the brain active. B.It makes the brain's default activity weak. C.It improves creative abilities and memory. D.It reduces the brain's attention to the outside. 39.Which of the following is TRUE? A.Places and forms of art made a difference to the results of the experiment. B.22 percent of the museum-goers dropped the stress hormones in the bodies. C.Like visual arts,dance can also improve movement control to reduce stress. D.Art therapy is mainly used to treat the people who have speech difficulties. 九年级英语第5页（共8页） 40.Which could be the best title of the passage? A.Art Therapy:A Research of the Brain B.Beyond Great Fun:The Power of Art C.Art and Brain:Searching for the Relationship D.Behind Stress Hormones:Art Therapy's Role 第二节阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有 一项为多余选项。 Everyone loves pandas,but do you know they might die out if we simply give them comfortable homes?New research says something surprising:41 For a long time,people thought building roads near pandas was bad because it damaged their habitats(栖息地).42 When pandas live in perfect habitats with enough food and safety,they don't move around or meet new friends.This makes their"family genes"too similar,which is bad for their health 43 Imagine if you never leave your comfortable bed-you'll miss meeting new people!Pandas are like that.The study found pandas need about 80%of their habitats to be comfortable,and 20%to be a bit uncomfortable or near human areas.This makes them walk around,meet other pandas and share different genes. This idea is called the"Goldilocks Principle":not too much,not too little,just right!Oxford University professor Claudio Sillero says this helps other animals too.When their homes aren't perfect,they travel more.44 So next time you hear about pandas,remember:They need a little challenge to stay happy and healthy!Protecting pandas isn't as simple as we thought.We needn't give them everything perfect-sometimes a bit of challenge is good too.45 We can plant bamboo or visit zoos to learn about them.Small acts make their lives better! A.Why does moving around work? B.We can keep helping pandas as well! C.But the latest study proves this idea wrong. D.It helps keep their group members stronger and healthier. E.Pandas need"uncomfortable"environment to stay healthy! F.To meet new friends,they keep looking for the perfect homes. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） A)阅读下面对话，从方框中选用恰当的单词或短语填空（每个单词或短语只能用一次）。 gloves plan snows fun look after Amy:Today is Friday.Weekend is coming!
