Many people believe that nature is good for both physical health and the mind. However, fewer people are visiting national parks in Canada, and in the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outdoors every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem.
As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health. Dr. Matilda studied how nature affects people’s health. She gave people a difficult math test so that their heart rates (心率) would rise. After that, one group (VR Group) sat in a 3D-virtual-reality (虚拟现实) room with nature pictures and sounds for 15 minutes. Their heart rates slowed down faster than the other group’s (Non-VR Group).
Nature allows our minds to rest, slow down, and can trigger good feelings. In Canada, a study of 31,000 people in Toronto found that people who lived near parks were healthier.
Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people’s everyday life. In Dubai, for example, there are plans for a new shopping center with a large garden so people can relax outside with trees, plants and water. In Switzerland, “forest schools” are popular. School children study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside.
In a word, nature makes us grow stronger. Let’s spend more time finding fun in nature.
16. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Many people don’t know the benefit of nature.
B. National parks become more popular in Canada.
C. Most US students spend time outdoors every day.
D. Many doctors feel worried about such a situation.
17. Which picture probably shows the heart rates of the people in Dr. Matilda’s study?
A. B.
C. D.
18. What does the underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. cause B. hurt C. repeat D. return
19. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Dr. Matilda asked people to do a physics test in the study.
B. The study in Canada showed nature is good for people’s health.
C. In Dubai, people plan to plant trees inside the new shopping centers.
D. In Switzerland, people build schools in the forests for students to study.
20. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Students and Nature B. Protect Nature Right Now
C. Be Close to Nature D. Two Studies about Nature
【答案】16. D 17. D 18. A 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了大自然对身心健康的益处,医生研究证实大自然有益健康,作者呼吁多花时间在大自然中寻找乐趣。
【16题详解】
第一段中提到“fewer people are visiting national parks in Canada, and in the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outdoors every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem.”,这说明许多医生对这种情况感到担忧。
【17题详解】
第二段中Dr. Matilda的实验:先通过数学测试让两组人的心率都上升,然后VR组坐在有自然图片和声音的房间里15分钟,他们的心率比Non-VR组恢复得更快。因此After-test阶段VR组心率远低于Non-VR组,对应D柱状图。
【18题详解】
第三段中提到“Nature allows our minds to rest, slow down, and can trigger good feelings.”,大自然能让大脑休息、放慢速度,并引起好的感觉,前半句“大自然放松身心”是正向作用,后半句顺承表达产生积极情绪,因此“trigger”在此意为“引发/引起”,对应A选项cause。
【19题详解】
第三段中提到“In Canada, a study of 31,000 people in Toronto found that people who lived near parks were healthier.”,加拿大研究证明亲近自然更健康。
【20题详解】
全文围绕“大自然对身心健康的益处”以及“应多接触大自然”展开,所以选项C“Be Close to Nature”最能概括主旨。
C
Artificial intelligence (人工智能) has slowly become a part of our everyday lives. One of the biggest uses for AI is facial recognition (FR).
Subway stations in Zhengzhou, Henan province use FR technology. Passengers can link their phones to the subway’s smartphone app.
FR technology can greatly speed up security checks. Yuan Xiaoqin, a park manager in Hangzhou, told China Central Television the reason the park upgraded (升级) its entry system: “Facial recognition can help a visitor enter the park in two or three seconds. Fingerprint information sometimes isn’t sensitive (灵敏的), especially in cases of injury or when the fingers are too dry to enable recognition.” Before, the park used a fingerprint entry (进入) system.
However, some people are worried about the security risks that FR can bring. According to China Daily, many people feel uncomfortable using facial recognition. They worry that their information could be stolen.
A face-swapping (换脸) app called Zao allowed users to imitate (模仿) famous persons through the use of facial recognition. Users worried that the app was collecting a large amount of personal information. Sometimes people can refuse to use some apps if they don’t want to put their personal information at risk, but sometimes people don’t have a choice. Zhao Zhanling, a legal researcher at the China University of Political Science and Law, said growing worries over facial recognition are understandable. Once information is stolen, it’s hard to take effective measures to stop it.
There is no law in China to regulate (规范) the use and collection of facial information, Zhao said, adding that companies and local governments should be careful and prevent abuse (滥用) of the technology.
21. What’s the meaning of the underlined phase “security checks” in Paragraph 3?
A. 安检 B. 购票 C. 服务 D. 智能
22. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Subway stations in Zhengzhou and Hangzhou have used FR technology.
B. Compared with fingerprint entry system, FR system has more advantages.
C. Some people are worried about the security risks that FR can bring.
D. A park in Hangzhou has speeded up its fingerprint entry system.
23. Some people refuse to use some apps because ________.
A. it can cost them much money to use the apps
B. their smart phones can’t be linked to those apps easily
C. they worry that their personal information may be stolen
D. they think those apps aren’t convenient
24. Which statement doesn’t Zhao Zhanling agree to?
A. It’s easy to take measures to solve it if personal information is stolen.
B. There is no law in China to regulate the use and collection of facial information.
C. Growing worries over facial recognition are understandable.
D. Companies and local governments should prevent abuse of the technology,
25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Fingerprint entry system can cause visitors’ injuries.
B. People can always choose whether to use the apps before using them.
C. The face-swapping app called Zao is widely used at subway stations.
D. FR technology is one of the biggest uses for Artificial intelligence.
【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 24. A 25. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲了脸部识别技术即FR技术,介绍了目前在社会中的运用以及存在的一些用户担忧等。
【21题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“FR technology can greatly speed up security checks.”及“Facial recognition can help a visitor enter the park in two or three seconds.”可知,FR技术可以大大加快安全检查,故推出划线部分security checks意为“安检”。故选A。
【22题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“FR technology can greatly speed up security checks.”及整段内容可知,本段主要介绍了FR技术可以大大加快安全检查,比传统的指纹录入系统有更大的优势。故选B。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Users worried that the app was collecting a large amount of personal information. Sometimes people can refuse to use some apps if they don’t want to put their personal information at risk”可知,人们拒绝使用一些app是因为他们担心自己的个人信息可能会被盗。故选C。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Zhao Zhanling, a legal researcher at the China University of Political Science and Law, said growing worries over facial recognition are understandable. Once information is stolen, it’s hard to take effective measures to stop it.”可知,赵说一旦信息被盗,就很难采取有效措施加以阻止。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据“One of the biggest uses for AI is facial recognition (FR).”可知,人工智能最大的用途之一是面部识别。故选D。

After coming to Changsha, Lei Feng’s hometown, he became the “Living Lei Feng” and continued to pass on “the spirit of Lei Feng” with his actions.
Changsha Social Work College held an activity called “Learn from Lei Feng in Lei Feng’s hometown”. The students, like Lan Zhicong, truly enjoyed being volunteers. (2)They realized volunteer work brought joy to both others and themselves.

The summer vacation is coming soon. It is the best time for us to read books. I have read and kept many books since childhood. Among them, my favourite book is Journey to the West. I got it from my father. He bought it for me as a birthday gift. I have had it for three years. The book is mainly about the Monkey King and his friends. They went to the west to get the Buddhist texts. During the journey, they met many difficulties, but they never gave up. I like it best because the stories are not only interesting but also meaningful. It teaches me that we should be brave when facing challenges. I strongly recommend it to you. I hope you will like it.
Yours,
Li Hua

Many people believe that nature is good for both physical health and the mind. However, fewer people are visiting national parks in Canada, and in the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outdoors every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem.
As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health. Dr. Matilda studied how nature affects people’s health. She gave people a difficult math test so that their heart rates (心率) would rise. After that, one group (VR Group) sat in a 3D-virtual-reality (虚拟现实) room with nature pictures and sounds for 15 minutes. Their heart rates slowed down faster than the other group’s (Non-VR Group).
Nature allows our minds to rest, slow down, and can trigger good feelings. In Canada, a study of 31,000 people in Toronto found that people who lived near parks were healthier.
Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people’s everyday life. In Dubai, for example, there are plans for a new shopping center with a large garden so people can relax outside with trees, plants and water. In Switzerland, “forest schools” are popular. School children study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside.
In a word, nature makes us grow stronger. Let’s spend more time finding fun in nature.
16. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Many people don’t know the benefit of nature.
B. National parks become more popular in Canada.
C. Most US students spend time outdoors every day.
D. Many doctors feel worried about such a situation.
17. Which picture probably shows the heart rates of the people in Dr. Matilda’s study?

18. What does the underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. cause B. hurt C. repeat D. return
19. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

B. The study in Canada showed nature is good for people’s health.
C. In Dubai, people plan to plant trees inside the new shopping centers.

A. Students and Nature B. Protect Nature Right Now

C
Artificial intelligence (人工智能) has slowly become a part of our everyday lives. One of the biggest uses for AI is facial recognition (FR).
Subway stations in Zhengzhou, Henan province use FR technology. Passengers can link their phones to the subway’s smartphone app.
FR technology can greatly speed up security checks. Yuan Xiaoqin, a park manager in Hangzhou, told China Central Television the reason the park upgraded (升级) its entry system: “Facial recognition can help a visitor enter the park in two or three seconds. Fingerprint information sometimes isn’t sensitive (灵敏的), especially in cases of injury or when the fingers are too dry to enable recognition.” Before, the park used a fingerprint entry (进入) system.
However, some people are worried about the security risks that FR can bring. According to China Daily, many people feel uncomfortable using facial recognition. They worry that their information could be stolen.
A face-swapping (换脸) app called Zao allowed users to imitate (模仿) famous persons through the use of facial recognition. Users worried that the app was collecting a large amount of personal information. Sometimes people can refuse to use some apps if they don’t want to put their personal information at risk, but sometimes people don’t have a choice. Zhao Zhanling, a legal researcher at the China University of Political Science and Law, said growing worries over facial recognition are understandable. Once information is stolen, it’s hard to take effective measures to stop it.
There is no law in China to regulate (规范) the use and collection of facial information, Zhao said, adding that companies and local governments should be careful and prevent abuse (滥用) of the technology.
21. What’s the meaning of the underlined phase “security checks” in Paragraph 3?
A. 安检 B. 购票 C. 服务 D. 智能
22. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Subway stations in Zhengzhou and Hangzhou have used FR technology.
B. Compared with fingerprint entry system, FR system has more advantages.
C. Some people are worried about the security risks that FR can bring.
D. A park in Hangzhou has speeded up its fingerprint entry system.
23. Some people refuse to use some apps because ________.
A. it can cost them much money to use the apps
B. their smart phones can’t be linked to those apps easily
C. they worry that their personal information may be stolen
D. they think those apps aren’t convenient
24. Which statement doesn’t Zhao Zhanling agree to?
A. It’s easy to take measures to solve it if personal information is stolen.
B. There is no law in China to regulate the use and collection of facial information.
C. Growing worries over facial recognition are understandable.
D. Companies and local governments should prevent abuse of the technology,
25. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Fingerprint entry system can cause visitors’ injuries.
B. People can always choose whether to use the apps before using them.
C. The face-swapping app called Zao is widely used at subway stations.
