新泰一中高二下学期英语阶段性考试参考答案 1～5 BCBAA 6～10 CBAAC 11～15 BACBC 16～20 AABCC 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍共享出行服务现状，分析使用障碍及为实现可持续交通采取的包容性措施。 21. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Shared mobility services, such as carshares and bikeshares, have positive effects on the environment. However, access to these services is not equal for everyone. Research shows that shared mobility services are more commonly available in wealthier urban areas. Most users tend to be younger, wealthier, and physically able. To build a sustainable transportation system, it is essential to make these services inclusive for all people. (共享出行服务，如汽车共享和自行车共享，对环境有积极影响。然而，并非每个人都能平等地获得这些服务。研究表明，共享出行服务在较富裕的城市地区更为普遍。大多数用户往往更年轻、更富有、身体更强健。为了建设可持续的交通系统，必须使这些服务对所有人都具有包容性)”可知，让共享出行服务具有包容性的目的是实现交通可持续发展。故选 C。 22. 细节理解题。根据文中“Surveys indicate that people in rural areas and those with lower incomes encounter more obstacles when trying to use bikeshares. Cost, lack of familiarity, and limited availability are common problems (调查显示，农村地区和低收入人群在使用共享单车时遇到更多障碍。成本、缺乏熟悉度和供应有限是常见问题)”及图表中对应Lower income(urban)的BARRIER2：High cost of the bikeshare system对应的是40%，占比最高，所以高成本是阻碍低收入城市人群使用共享单车的主要障碍。故选B。 23. 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Similarly, Tim Carsharing in Austria offers vehicles suitable for wheelchairs and provides child seats upon request. (相似地，奥地利的Tim Carsharing提供适合轮椅的车辆，并根据要求提供儿童座椅)”可知，奥地利的Tim Carsharing采取的措施是提供适合轮椅的车辆。故选 D。 B 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作家兼艺术家奥古丝特·拉姆（August Lamm）放弃智能手机的缘由、过程及放弃后事业更成功的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句““Everything that I shared online — all these pictures and words about my love life, my vacations or my house — was feeding into my business, helping to generate sales,” Lamm said. Finally, she said, the pressure to keep that up became too much, and she reached a breaking point. (拉姆说：“我在网上分享的所有东西——所有这些关于我的感情生活、假期或房子的照片和文字——都在为我的生意服务，帮助带来销售额。”她说，最后，维持下去的压力变得太大，她到了崩溃的边缘。)”可知，拉姆因社交媒体分享带来的持续压力，最终决定放弃智能手机。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段前两句“Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to deal with without smartphones, since they are more than just texting and surfing social media. In 2025, these smartphones function as virtual wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. (尽管如此，有些事情如果没有智能手机可能会觉得无法处理，因为它们的功能远不止发短信和刷社交媒体。到2025年，这些智能手机充当着虚拟钱包、健康追踪器、身份证明工具，甚至是个人助理。)”可知，作者提及2025年智能手机的多种功能，是为了说明人们的日常生活与智能手机联系紧密。这也服务于后文凸显拉姆放弃智能手机的不易。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“It took her about a year to quit her smartphone and fully devote herself to the dumbphone lifestyle, which offers only basic calling and texting. (她花了大约一年时间来放弃智能手机，完全投入到只提供基本的通话和短信服务功能的非智能手机的生活方式中。)”和第三段第三句“However, Lamm has found solutions to the challenges. (不过，拉姆已经找到了应对这些挑战的办法。)”可知，拉姆花一年时间坚持放弃智能手机，且能解决无智能手机带来的难题，说明她有决心且适应能力强。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第三至五句““When I stopped posting, I found out income sources that existed before social media: agencies, magazines, galleries, publishers,” she said. “If I hadn’t spent thousands of hours trying to build a huge following, I could have spent that time going to galleries, taking classes, meeting people, making connections, organizing events, taking part in exhibitions and otherwise making a name for myself in the real world. I could have improved more quickly if I had not placed online popularity above creative development.” (她说，“当我停止发帖时，我发现了在社交媒体出现之前就存在的收入来源：代理商、杂志、画廊、出版商。”“如果我没有花成千上万个小时试图积累大量粉丝，我可能会把这些时间花在去画廊、上课、结识人、建立联系、组织活动、参加展览，或者在现实世界中为自己树立名声上。如果我没有把网络人气置于创意开发之上，我本可以进步得更快。”)”可知，拉姆如果不把时间花在使用社交媒体上，她可以做成很多其它事情，她想表达的应是人们可以不那么依赖社交媒体，在现实中也能实现自身价值。故选D项。 C 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. B 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，文章主要指出不应重复使用一次性塑料，解释其会滤出化学物质和微塑料，并说明购物袋等非接触食品的一次性塑料重复使用无需过度担忧，同时给出避免加热塑料的建议。 28. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“You forget to bring your water bottle to the airport, so you buy a plastic one and keep refilling it. Or you order takeout for dinner and save the black plastic container to pack your lunch the next day. Reuse is one of the core rules of sustainability (可持续性). But should you be reusing these single-use plastics? Experts say no .(你去机场时忘了带水杯，于是买了个塑料杯，之后一直用它接水。或者你点了外卖当晚餐，留着黑色塑料餐盒第二天装午饭。重复利用是可持续发展的核心原则之一，但这类一次性塑料真的能重复使用吗？专家给出的答案是否定的。)”可知，在第一段中，作者先列举“重复使用一次性塑料水瓶、外卖餐盒”的日常场景，再通过转折提出核心问题“这类一次性塑料能否重复使用”，最后引出专家的否定答案。其目的是通过常见例子吸引读者注意，自然引入“一次性塑料重复使用”的主题。故选B。 29. 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“Single-use plastics leach (滤出) chemicals and shed microplastics (微塑料) into your environment.( 一次性塑料会向周围环境中滤出化学物质，并……微塑料。)”以及下文“A single-use plastic water bottle sheds micro and nano plastics into your water when you refill it, and a takeout container or frozen meal tray sheds these particles into your food. (当你用一次性塑料水瓶反复接水时，它会向水中释放微塑料和纳米塑料；而外卖餐盒或冷冻食品托盘则会向食物中释放这些微粒。)”可知，“shed”与前文“leach”为并列关系，且下文明确说明一次性塑料水瓶会向水中释放微塑料和纳米塑料，由此可推断“shed”意为“释放、排出”。选项A“give out”，意为“释放”，与此相符。故选A。 30. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Chemical exposure increases if plastic is heated, typically in a microwave, a dishwasher or even by placing hot food in a takeout container. (如果塑料处于受热环境（通常是用微波炉加热、放入洗碗机清洗，甚至是往外卖餐盒里装热食），化学物质的释放量会增加。)”以及第三段“Concerns with chemicals and microplastics primarily apply to food, experts said, because you are eating them. (专家说，对化学物质和微塑料的担忧主要适用于食物，因为你正在吃它们。)”可知，一次性塑料接触食品受热后会加速塑料释放化学物质和微塑料，这些有害物质会随食物被人体摄入，危害健康。故选D。 31. 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Reuse is one of the core rules of sustainability (可持续性). But should you be reusing these single-use plastics? Experts say no. (重复利用是可持续发展的核心原则之一，但这类一次性塑料真的能重复使用吗？专家给出的答案是否定的。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕“一次性塑料能否重复使用”展开，先通过日常例子引出问题，再详细说明重复使用会释放化学物质和微塑料，最后补充非接触食品类一次性塑料的使用建议。选项B“Reusing Single-use Plastics Is Harmful (重复使用一次性塑料有害)”精准概括了全文内容，适合作标题。故选B。 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。加州大学圣地亚哥分校研究发现，学龄前普通话使用者的音乐音高感知优于英语使用者，因普通话声调学习助力音高识别，证实跨领域认知关联，且研究可辅助设计大脑训练项目。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new study from the University of California San Diego says learning Mandarin Chinese can help with music.(加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校的一项新研究表明，学习汉语普通话对音乐能力有益)”可知，这项新研究的主要发现是学习普通话有助于人们更好地理解音乐。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“In the timbre task, Mandarin-speakers and English-speakers did similarly.(在音色测试中，说普通话的人和说英语的人表现得大致相同)”可知，在音色任务中，说普通话和英语的儿童表现相似，但在音高任务中，说普通话的儿童outperform说英语的儿童，通过“but”的转折逻辑可推断，outperform意为“表现优于”。故划线词意思是“表现优于”。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The study’s co-authors wrote, “We show for the first time that learning a tone language is connected with better musical pitch processing in young children. This is important for neuroscience (神经科学) and behavior, and our research can help design brain training programs.”(该研究的合著者写道：“我们首次证明，学习一种声调语言与幼儿对音乐音高的处理能力的提高有关。这在神经科学和行为学领域都具有重要意义，而我们的研究有助于设计大脑训练方案。”)”可知，该研究的成果有助于制定更有效的认知训练计划。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But Heyman and Creel advise: Don’t stop your child’s music lessons to focus only on language, or language lessons for music. To be good at music, you still need to study music. And learning another language is good in itself, whether it makes you a better musician or not.(但海曼和克里尔建议：不要因为只专注于语言学习而中断孩子的音乐课程，也不要只专注于音乐课程而忽略语言学习。要想精通音乐，你仍然需要学习音乐知识。而且学习另一种语言本身也是有益的，无论它是否能让你成为更出色的音乐家)”可推知，最后一段的目的是避免对结果进行过度解读。故选C。 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. E 39. F 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章提出无需大幅改变生活，“从小处着手” 的微习惯可改善身心健康，推荐了每日接触自然、用筷小盘进食、拥抱他人、坚持感恩日记等简单且有科学依据的做法。 【36题详解】 根据上文“You don’t have to quit sugar, go vegan or run a marathon to see real change in your health and well-being. Instead, science supports a “go small” approach.(你无需完全戒掉糖分、成为纯素食者或者参加马拉松比赛，就能在健康和身心状况方面看到显著的改善。相反，科学研究表明，采取“从小处着手”的方法会更有效)”以及后文“To help you make this shift, we’ve rounded up the simplest, most science-backed microhabits that can transform your physical, emotional and mental health(为了帮助您实现这一转变，我们精心挑选了最简单且基于科学原理的微习惯，这些微习惯能够改善您的身体、情绪和心理健康状况)”可知，前文提出“无需彻底改变（戒糖、素食等），科学支持‘从小处着手’的方法”，空格后引出“最简单、有科学依据的微习惯”。D项“小行动，常坚持，才能带来持久改变”承接前文“go small”的核心观点，同时引出下文“微习惯”的具体内容，起到承上启下的作用。故选D。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Spending time outside — whether in a park, your backyard or near some potted plants that feel wild — has powerful benefits. Studies show that being in nature lowers stress, quiets overthinking and lifts your mood. One 2019 study called it a nature pill and found that even 20 to 30 minutes a day worked wonders.(在户外度过时光——无论是身处公园、自家后院，还是靠近那些看起来充满野趣的盆栽植物——都有诸多益处。研究表明，身处大自然中能够减轻压力、减少过度思考并提升情绪。2019年的一项研究将其称为“自然药丸”，并发现每天只需20到30分钟就能产生显著效果)”可知，本段主题是 “每日接触自然”，前文提到 “接触自然能减压、平复过度思考、改善情绪”，且2019年研究称其为“自然药丸”。C项“它本质上是天然的情绪平衡剂”是对前文自然益处的总结，“mood balancer”与前文“lowers stress... lifts your mood”形成呼应，逻辑连贯。故选C。 【38题详解】 根据后文“Two research-proven ways to do this: Grab some chopsticks and downsize your dishes. Chopsticks naturally slow your eating pace, allowing you to tell when you’re full. Shrinking your plate helps you serve (and eat) less without noticing. Both tricks help you slow down, eat more mindfully and cut calories without feeling as if you’re trying.(有两种经过科学研究证实的方法可以实现这一目标：拿起筷子，缩小你的餐盘尺寸。筷子能自然地减缓你的进食速度，让你能够察觉自己是否已经吃饱。缩小餐盘的大小能帮助你不知不觉地减少食物的摄入量。这两种方法都能让你放慢进食速度，更用心地用餐，并且在不觉得是在刻意控制的情况下减少热量摄入)”可知，本段主题是“用筷子、小盘子吃饭”，空格后具体解释这两种用餐方式如何帮助控制饮食。E项“改变餐具能让少吃成为本能”总领全段，“dining setup”对应后文“chopsticks and downsize your dishes”，准确概括本段核心方法（通过调整用餐工具/容器改变饮食行为）。故选E。 【39题详解】 根据上文“We’re wired for connection, and nothing says “I’ve got you” like a good, long hug. Holding someone close for 20 seconds boosts oxytocin (the love hormone) and drops cortisol (the stress one).(我们天生就渴望与他人建立联系，而没有什么比一个深情而长久的拥抱更能表达“我在你身边”了。将某人紧紧拥入怀中20秒，会促进体内产生更多的催产素（这种“爱的荷尔蒙”）并降低皮质醇（这种“压力荷尔蒙”的水平）)”以及后文“Bonus benefits like deeper connection, lower blood pressure, and warm-and-fuzzy feelings last longer than your group chat high-five emoji.(诸如更紧密的联系、更低的血压以及温馨愉悦的感觉等附加益处，其持续时间要远长于你发在群聊中用来表示庆祝的“击掌”表情符号)”可知，前文提到“拥抱20秒能提升催产素、降低皮质醇”，空格后补充“更深的联结、更低的血压等额外益处”。F项“这些益处包括更多愉悦感、不经意的专注力提升和对松鼠微笑的快乐”承接前文 “拥抱的好处”，“They”指代前文提到的拥抱带来的生理变化，且“bonus benefits”与后文形成递进，符合逻辑。故选F。 【40题详解】 根据后文“Each night, write down three things you’re thankful for. A 2020 meta-analysis links this habit to more happiness, less stress, and milder depression (seek other help if needed). It helps your brain shift from focusing on the negative to recognizing all the good things happening in your world.(每天晚上，写下你所感激的三件事情。2020年的一项与此相关的元分析表明，养成这个习惯能带来更多的幸福感、更少的压力以及更轻微的抑郁症状（如有需要，可寻求其他帮助）。这有助于你的大脑从专注于消极方面转向认识到你所生活的世界中发生的所有美好事情)”可知，本段核心内容是“每晚写下三件感恩的事”，后文解释该习惯的益处（更快乐、压力更小等）。A项“坚持感恩日记”直接点明本段主题，“gratitude journal”与“write down three things you’re thankful for”完全对应，是段落主旨的精准概括。故选A。 41-45 BCDAB 46-50 ACCDB 51-55 BBDCD 56. in 57. have measured 58. integration 59. to overcome 60. is referred 61. a 62. watching 63. influenced 64. which 65. positively【参考范文】 Dear Mr. Chuck, I am writing to sincerely apologize for submitting an AI-generated essay, which resulted in a failing grade.

And it was only a plate. But it was not the cat that was to blame! It was the people who treated him with kindness and to delicious food that he had lied to! He was torn between telling the truth and letting it go. Frank's heart raced as he replayed the scene in his mind. So ashamed did Frank feel that he could feel his face burning. Thinking of Mrs. Zhou's gentle smile,Frank finally decided to do the right thing. The following morning, Frank knocked on the door of Li Ming's house. Mrs. Zhou opened the door with a welcoming smile. With blood rushing to his ears, Frank gathered all his courage to tell Mrs.Zhou that he had broken the plate by accident instead of the cat. Smiling broadly, Mrs.Zhou patted him on the shoulder,saying,"It's OK, dear. Accidents happen. I'm so proud of you!" Hearing this, Frank felt a weight lifted from his mind. He sighed with relief,his face lighting up.Not until then did he realize nothing is more important than honesty. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 绝密★启用前 新泰一中高二下学期期中考试英语试题 2026.04 本试卷共12页，共150分。考试时长120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将案写在答题卡上。 第一部分 听力 第一节 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

However, access to these services is not equal for everyone. Research shows that shared mobility services are more commonly available in wealthier urban areas. Most users tend to be younger, wealthier, and physically able. To build a sustainable transportation system, it is essential to make these services inclusive for all people. Some cities have introduced programs to support low-income residents. These programs help increase the use of shared vehicles and reduce dependence on personal cars. Recently, about 70% of micromobility programs in the US have taken measures to better serve disadvantaged groups, such as accepting cash payments and offering non-smartphone booking options. Still, many barriers remain. Surveys indicate that people in rural areas and those with lower incomes encounter more obstacles when trying to use bikeshares. Cost, lack of familiarity, and limited availability are common problems, as illustrated in the Figure. Non-profit organizations are also playing an important role. For example, SharedMobility Inc., a Buffalo-based NGO, provides free e-bikes to underserved communities and organizes training sessions to promote cycling culture and safety. Mobitwin in Belgium supports elderly people and those with limited mobility by providing affordable rides booked via telephone. Similarly, Tim Carsharing in Austria offers vehicles suitable for wheelchairs and provides child seats upon request. In conclusion, understanding different needs and making services more adaptable are key steps toward fair and sustainable urban transportation. 21. What is the purpose of making shared mobility services inclusive for all? A. To promote cash payments. B. To lower transportation costs. C. To make transportation sustainable. D. To reduce reliance on private cars. 22. Which is the major obstacle preventing low-income urban people from using bikeshares? A. Safety concerns. B. High cost. C. Lack of familiarity. D. Limited availability. 23. Which measure is taken by Tim Carsharing in Austria? A. Providing free e-bikes. B. Booking rides by smartphone. C. Organizing training sessions. D. Offering wheelchair-friendly vehicles. B August Lamm, a writer, artist and former art influencer, hasn’t owned a smartphone since 2022. Her journey to give up the smartphone began shortly after graduating from college, when she started posting pictures of her art online and got hundreds of thousands of followers. “Everything that I shared online — all these pictures and words about my love life, my vacations or my house — was feeding into my business, helping to generate sales,” Lamm said. Finally, she said, the pressure to keep that up became too much, and she reached a breaking point. At first, Lamm tried to put her phone in a drawer and avoid using it for a whole day, which, she said, made life inconvenient for everyone around her. It took her about a year to quit her smartphone and fully devote herself to the dumbphone lifestyle, which offers only basic calling and texting. Still, there are certain things that may feel impossible to deal with without smartphones, since they are more than just texting and surfing social media. In 2025, these smartphones function as virtual wallets, health trackers, identification tools, and even personal assistants. However, Lamm has found solutions to the challenges. “You work out these problems by asking,” Lamm said, “like asking the parking company if they can offer you an alternative when you can’t use parking meter (停车收费表), and a lot of the time they will.” When it comes to her career, Lamm says she earns more money now than she ever did as an influencer online. That’s because now she only does the actual work, rather than spending hours and hours crafting posts. “When I stopped posting, I found out income sources that existed before social media: agencies, magazines, galleries, publishers,” she said. “If I hadn’t spent thousands of hours trying to build a huge following, I could have spent that time going to galleries, taking classes, meeting people, making connections, organizing events, taking part in exhibitions and otherwise making a name for myself in the real world. I could have improved more quickly if I had not placed online popularity above creative development.” 24. What made August Lamm decide to give up the smartphone? A. Her addiction to the smartphone. B. The stress from social networking. C. Her pressure from the busy college life. D. Her concern over the downsides of technology. 25. Why does the author mention the situations in 2025 in paragraph 3? A. To explain why smartphones are developing very fast. B. To advise people to depend less on modern technology. C. To show the wide use of virtual wallets and health trackers. D. To stress the important roles smartphones play in daily life. 26. How can we best describe August Lamm according to the text? A. Confident and demanding. B. Creative and ambitious. C. Determined and adaptable. D. Generous and efficient. 27. What message does August Lamm want to express in the last paragraph? A. Social media do more harm than good. B. Dumbphones are making a comeback. C. Use smartphones only when necessary. D. One can be less dependent on social media. C You forget to bring your water bottle to the airport, so you buy a plastic one and keep refilling it. Or you order takeout for dinner and save the black plastic container to pack your lunch the next day. Reuse is one of the core rules of sustainability. But should you be reusing these single-use plastics? Experts say no. Single-use plastics leach (滤出) chemicals and shed microplastics into your environment. Though studies have not directly compared single-use and reusable plastic, experts say they are more worried about single-use plastics because of how they’re made. A single-use plastic water bottle sheds micro and nano plastics into your water when you refill it, and a takeout container or frozen meal tray sheds these particles into your food. Chemical exposure increases if plastic is heated, typically in a microwave, a dishwasher or even by placing hot food in a takeout container. When heat is applied, molecules (分子) move faster, meaning it could be easier for some of these particles to make its way into your food. Concerns with chemicals and microplastics primarily apply to food, experts said, because you are eating them. Reusing single-use plastics like grocery bags is not a major concern, they added. The most important thing you should do is avoid heating your plastic, experts agreed. “A pretty hard-and-fast rule is to never microwave plastic,” Enck said. “And there’s also a suggestion not to put plastic into the dishwasher if it’s on a hot cycle.” 28. Why does the author list examples in the first paragraph? A. To analyse the reason. B. To lead into the topic. C. To prove the experts’ opinion. D. To introduce the background information. 29. What does the underlined word “shed” in the second paragraph probably mean? A. Give out. B. Take in. C. Put out. D. Put off. 30. According to the passage, which of the following harms human health most? A. Heating fast food in a glass bowl. B. Filling the grocery bag with meat. C. Packing cold drink with single-use plastics. D. Eating hot soup contained in a single-use plastic bag. 31. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Stop Using Single-use Plastics B. Reusing Single-use Plastics Is Harmful C. How to Correctly Use Single-use Plastics D. The Astonishing Fact of Single-use Plastics D A new study from the University of California San Diego says learning Mandarin Chinese can help with music. In a paper in Developmental Science, researchers found that preschoolers who speak Mandarin first are better at musical pitch (音高) than those who speak English. The results are not just about finding who might be good at music early. The study shows that when the brain learns skills in one area, it can affect learning in another. Sarah Creel, the lead author from UC San Diego’s Department of Cognitive Science (认知科学系), said, “A big question is whether our mental abilities are separate. For example, do we have special brain systems only for language? Our research suggests the opposite — there’s a kind of interaction and we can use cognitive abilities in different areas.” The researchers did two experiments with young Mandarin learners and English learners. They tested 180 children on tasks about pitch patterns and timbre (音色). In the timbre task, Mandarin-speakers and English-speakers did similarly. But in the pitch task, Mandarin-speakers outperform English-speakers. Mandarin is a tone language. The authors think that paying attention to tones helps young Mandarin speakers notice pitch in music better. Gail Heyman, a co-author from UC San Diego’s Department of Psychology, said, “This shows that the language you speak affects how you understand music. It supports the idea of cross-domain (跨领域) learning.” The study’s co-authors wrote, “We show for the first time that learning a tone language is connected with better musical pitch processing in young children. This is important for neuroscience (神经科学) and behavior, and our research can help design brain training programs.” But Heyman and Creel advise: Don’t stop your child’s music lessons to focus only on language, or language lessons for music. To be good at music, you still need to study music. And learning another language is good in itself, whether it makes you a better musician or not. 32. What is the main finding of the new study? A.

Instead, science supports a “go small” approach. ____36____ To help you make this shift, we’ve rounded up the simplest, most science-backed microhabits that can transform your physical, emotional and mental health. Get a daily dose of nature. Spending time outside — whether in a park, your backyard or near some potted plants that feel wild — has powerful benefits. Studies show that being in nature lowers stress, quiets overthinking and lifts your mood. One 2019 study called it a nature pill and found that even 20 to 30 minutes a day worked wonders. ____37____ Eat with chopsticks on small plates. ____38____ Two research-proven ways to do this: Grab some chopsticks and downsize your dishes. Chopsticks naturally slow your eating pace, allowing you to tell when you’re full. Shrinking your plate helps you serve (and eat) less without noticing. Both tricks help you slow down, eat more mindfully and cut calories without feeling as if you’re trying. Give someone a big hug. We’re wired for connection, and nothing says “I’ve got you” like a good, long hug. Holding someone close for 20 seconds boosts oxytocin (the love hormone) and drops cortisol (the stress one). ____39____ Bonus benefits like deeper connection, lower blood pressure, and warm-and-fuzzy feelings last longer than your group chat high-five emoji. ____40____ Each night, write down three things you’re thankful for. A 2020 meta-analysis links this habit to more happiness, less stress, and milder depression (seek other help if needed). It helps your brain shift from focusing on the negative to recognizing all the good things happening in your world. Start now by choosing one or two of these microhabits that resonate with you. A. Keep a gratitude journal. B. Prepare yourself for good things. C. It’s basically a natural mood balancer. D. Little actions, done regularly, are what create lasting change. E Changing your dining setup can make eating less second nature. F. They include increased joy, accidental mindfulness and smiling at squirrels. G. Making small changes to environment leads to significant health improvements. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A back injury drove Briton Rose Oliver to tai chi,which led her to her husband and then took both of them to China.
