Feel down? Hug a tree!
Recently, many young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Although it sounds strange, there’s science behind the act of tree-hugging.
The US scientist Edward O. Wilson said that humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature is in their DNA. This idea helps to explain why people like green views (风景) better than city views. It also explains why people love cute pets.
There is a chemical called cortisol (皮质醇) in our body. It shows how much stress a person has. The worse a person’s feelings are, the higher his or her cortisol level is. The brain makes more cortisol when a person feels worried, angry, or very sad. Hugging trees helps lower cortisol, which makes us feel better.
Although hugging a tree is helpful to us, it’s important to remember that we shouldn’t harm nature while doing it. Many small animals live in the tree, and they are too small to be seen. So remember to hug trees softly — just like how you hug a friend!
50. What does the sentence “Humans’ love for nature is in their DNA” mean?
A. DNA is very important to humans.
B. Humans are born to love nature.
C. Humans love to do studies on DNA.
D. Humans like city views better.
51. Which of the following best shows the relationship between bad feelings and the level of cortisol? (x = bad feelings, y = the level of cortisol)
A. B. C. D.
52. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. How long we should hug a tree.
B. Why hugging trees can reduce stress.
C. What scientists will study in the future.
D. How to hug a tree without harming nature.
【答案】50. B 51. A 52. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了年轻人通过抱树来缓解压力的现象,解释了人类天生喜爱自然的原因(来自DNA),并说明抱树能降低体内的皮质醇水平从而减轻压力,最后提醒大家在抱树时要温柔,不要伤害树上的小动物。
【50题详解】
第二段开头提到“humans are born to love being around other living things”,即人类天生就喜欢亲近自然。选项B “Humans are born to love nature.” 与原文意思完全一致。
【51题详解】
第三段明确写道“The worse a person‘s feelings are, the higher his or her cortisol level is.”因此坏情绪与皮质醇水平成正比,即x增大时y也增大。
【52题详解】
最后一段提醒人们在抱树时要温柔,因为树上住着许多看不见的小动物,不要伤害它们。因此这段话主要讲的是“如何在不伤害自然的前提下抱树”。

Have you ever seen videos of ancient people like Li Bai and Du Fu “coming back to life” online? Creative vloggers use AI technology ____61____ (bring) these famous people to life.
In these videos, the ancient people speak in modern language. For example, Du Fu tells people ____62____ he saw during the war. Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles. Many young people enjoy these videos ____63____ they help them learn history in a fun way.

【答案】61. to bring
62. what 63. because
64. surprised
65. is used
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了创意视频博主利用AI技术让李白、杜甫等历史名人“复活”,以现代语言说话的AI视频在网络上走红,作者指出需在趣味与真实性间保持谨慎。
【61题详解】
句意:创意视频博主利用AI技术让这些名人栩栩如生。固定搭配use sth to do sth表示“用某物做某事”,故此处应填动词不定式,结合所给单词,应填to bring。
【62题详解】
句意:例如,杜甫告诉人们他在战争期间看到了什么。此处应填入宾语从句引导词,从句中的saw缺少宾语,指代“看到的事物”,故用what。
【63题详解】

句意:现在,科技被用来让历史更贴近我们,但是我们应该注意不要相信来自这些视频的错误信息。主语“technology”和动词“use”是被动关系,且时态为一般现在时,故应使用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是第三人称单数,故填is used。

At Shanghai Hongkou Library, there is a guestbook (留言簿). Readers can write down their suggestions in the guestbook. Some readers say the lights are too weak. Others talk about the dirty floors. Some write about broken chairs or no hot water.
What is special? Every message gets a reply from the library staff (工作人员). Someone shared this online and called it “Doraemon’s message book.” The video soon got thousands of likes. People love it because the library listens to readers’ needs. It shows that good public service is about caring for people.
The library moved the guestbook from the front desk to a corner (角落). Now readers can write freely without feeling watched. The staff check the book often. When someone writes a message, they write back as soon as possible. Some ideas are used right away. For example, a reader asked for more chairs in the eating area, and the library did it. When they can’t do something, they explain why. For example, they won’t add a microwave (微波炉) because it is not safe.
This simple guestbook shows the warmth of the city. It also shows that what really matters is whether people feel seen and heard.

Feel down? Hug a tree!
Recently, many young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Although it sounds strange, there’s science behind the act of tree-hugging.
The US scientist Edward O. Wilson said that humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature is in their DNA. This idea helps to explain why people like green views (风景) better than city views. It also explains why people love cute pets.
There is a chemical called cortisol (皮质醇) in our body. It shows how much stress a person has. The worse a person’s feelings are, the higher his or her cortisol level is. The brain makes more cortisol when a person feels worried, angry, or very sad. Hugging trees helps lower cortisol, which makes us feel better.
Although hugging a tree is helpful to us, it’s important to remember that we shouldn’t harm nature while doing it. Many small animals live in the tree, and they are too small to be seen. So remember to hug trees softly — just like how you hug a friend!
50. What does the sentence “Humans’ love for nature is in their DNA” mean?
A. DNA is very important to humans.
B. Humans are born to love nature.
C. Humans love to do studies on DNA.
D. Humans like city views better.
51. Which of the following best shows the relationship between bad feelings and the level of cortisol? (x = bad feelings, y = the level of cortisol)
A. B. C. D.
52. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. How long we should hug a tree.
B. Why hugging trees can reduce stress.
C. What scientists will study in the future.
D. How to hug a tree without harming nature.
