【题目】 We all know the value of taking a walk in the fresh spring weather. It allows your mind to relax and forget about the problems in everyday life. Studies have commonly shown the benefits of being around green spaces, including gardens, city parks and forests.
But did you know that being close to these natural surroundings during childhood could positively influence your mental health as an adult?
A study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) surveyed 3,600 people from all over Europe, including Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania and the UK.
The all-adult study gave these volunteers a questionnaire on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood – for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest. They were also asked about the importance they put on using such places.
Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety of problem-solving activities, to learn about their mental state within a four-week period.
The results showed that the people who were more exposed to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure.
According to the study, 73 percent of Europe’s population only has limited chance to natural spaces. Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, director of ISGlobal’s Urban Planning, said that “Many children in Europe lead an indoor lifestyle… so we call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children.”
While this study was based in Europe, a lack of green space can affect anyone, anywhere. So, remember to make time to immerse yourself in nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.
【1】What was the purpose of the ISGlobal’s study?
A.To study the influence of childhood exposure to natural spaces.
B.To understand the mental health problems of children.
C.To see how childhood experiences shape adult life.
D.To examine the advantages of taking a walk.
【2】What do we know about the study?
A.The volunteers included both children and adults.
B.The volunteers were from all over the world.
C.It was made up of a questionnaire and a psychological test.
D.It focused on the volunteers’ physical health state.
【3】What does the underlined word “immerse” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.understand somethingB.lose oneself in something
C.protect against somethingD.imagine doing something
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.The benefits of green spaceB.mental health or physical health
C.outdoor lifestyleD.the value of taking a walk
【答案】
【1】A
【2】C
【3】B
【4】A
【解析】
本文是说明文。文章主要探究了童年时期接触自然对成年人心理健康的影响，研究表明童年时期接触大自然越多，成年时期得心理方面的疾病就越少，强调多接近大自然的好处。
【1】
推理判断题。根据第二段But did you know that being close to these natural surroundings during childhood could positively influence your mental health as an adult?可知但是你知道吗？童年时接近这些自然环境会对成年后的心理健康产生积极的影响。以及第三段A study by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) surveyed 3,600 people from all over Europe, including Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania and the UK.可知巴塞罗那全球健康研究所（ISGlobal）的一项研究调查了来自欧洲各地的3600人，包括西班牙、荷兰、立陶宛和英国。由此可推知，ISGlobal研究的目的是研究儿童接触自然环境的影响。故选A。
【2】
细节理解题。根据第四段中The all-adult study gave these volunteers a questionnaire on how frequently they used natural spaces during childhood – for example, playing in a garden, riding a bike at the park or hiking in a forest.可知这项全成人的研究给了这些志愿者一份问卷，询问他们在童年时期使用自然空间的频率，比如在花园里玩耍，在公园里骑自行车或者在森林里徒步旅行。以及第五段Volunteers were then given a psychological test, which included a variety of problem-solving activities, to learn about their mental state within a four-week period.可知志愿者随后接受了一项心理测试，包括各种解决问题的活动，以了解他们在四周内的精神状态。由此可知，研究由一份问卷和一个心理测试组成。故选C。
【3】
词义猜测题。根据后文yourself in nature, as your mental health is just as important as the physical one.可知文章上文提到了与大自然接触有益于心理健康和身体健康，所以此处指的是花时间沉浸在大自然中。由此可知，划线单词immerse意思为“沉浸在……”与B选项意思相符。故选B。
【4】
主旨大意题。根据倒数第三段The results showed that the people who were more exposed to natural spaces had higher mental health scores compared to those with lower childhood exposure.可知结果显示，与儿童时期较少接触自然环境的人相比，经常接触自然环境的人心理健康得分更高。结合文章主要探究童年时期接触自然对成年人心理健康的影响，研究表明童年时期接触大自然越多，成年时期得心理方面的疾病就越少，强调多接近大自然的好处。故A选项“绿色空间的好处”最符合文章标题。故选A。

【题目】 While a female politician or first lady can use her clothing to create a favorable image, male politicians don't have as many fashion choices to play with, But Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau seems to have discovered a goldmine - his socks.
He's been seen wearing"statement socks".at many public events. For example, during a NATO(北大西洋公约组织) meeting in Brussels in May, Trudeau wore one blue sock and one pink, both with the NATO symbol printed on them. And in June, he wore a pair of socks with the pattern of maple leaves a national symbol of Canada --- when he appeared on a TV show.
The New York Times editor Vanessa Friedman praised Trudeau's play on his socks as"clever
"Socks are subtle enough not to be distracting, but visible enough that you can't miss the point, she wrote, "Rarely have a man's ankles said so much."
One example is a pair he wore during a meeting with Enda Kenny, then the prime minister of Ireland, in Montreal on May 4. During their meeting, Trudeau wore Star Wars socks-simply because that day happened to be Intemational Star Wars Day. If this pair of socks sent out any message, according to Vogue magazine reporter Emily Farra, that message was just that he has a quirky side and loves George Lucas films, " she wrote.
However, some say that 45-year-old Trudeau's unusual sock choices show a childish side of the prime minister that proves he isn't mature enough to be the leader of a country.
But Friedman doesn't see it that way. "The socks have been a source of pride and applause on an international scale-a symbolboth of Mr Trudeau's ability to embrace multiculturalism and of his position as a next-generation leader not bound by old traditions. "she wrote. They have opened up possibilities for the future.
【1】Trudeau wore a pair of socks with the pattern of maple leaves to __________.
A.distract audience's attention from the TV show
B.send a message that he is proud of his country
C.narrow the gap between politicians and civilians
D.claim that he is the new-generation leader of the country
【2】The underlined word"quirky" is closest in meaning to _________.
A.abnormal or immature
B.serious or straight
C.patriotic and enthusiastic
D.odd or unpredictable
【3】According to Friedman, Justin Trudeau ___________.
A.has a promising future but is still an inexperienced politician
B.used a clever way to explore and finally discovered a goldmine
C.is open-minded and is ready to accept different cultures
D.is a leader who has abandoned old traditions to build up his future
【4】The article is mainly about ___________.
A.the strange hobby of a young politician
B.a young leader's clever choice of socks
C.how male politicians maintain public image
D.the gender difference in modem politicians

【题目】 In times of crisis (危机), people can be truly amazing. Age, wealth, race, religion, politics and all the other things that make us who we are as individuals seem to matter a little less, and the fact that we are all humans in this world together comes to matter more.
Seni Felic owns a restaurant in San Francisco called Bistro SF Grill, and he is feeling optimistic despite the crisis caused by COVID-19 “We’re going to pool our resources and people will pull together, and it will have a strong effect on solving any problems,” he told Reader’s Digest. With this in mind, he decided to offer nonprofit lunches and dinners in his restaurant.
“We are inviting all to stop by Bistro SF Grill to take a lunch or dinner box with food prepared in advance. The price is only $5.50 and it covers our expenses. We’d like to give for free, but we can’t afford it. Our idea was: Let’s try to help.” he said.
Despite San Francisco’s “shelter-in-place” order, Felic said they still plan to offer meals. The move deals with three problems in the community: offering various high-quality food to people who may not be able to cook or who can’t afford Whole Foods prices; helping the business continue operating during the crisis; and paying some of the hourly workers who make the food so that they can earn enough money to get through the hard times.
He believes that working together and helping others will be the key to helping all to get through this. “This problem will be controlled, and I just feel optimistic,” he added. “When people come together and cooperate, I think we can overcome almost anything.”
【1】What made Seni Felic optimistic during the time of COVID-19?
A.His religious belief.B.His decision to offer meals.
C.People’s working together.D.The government’s order.
【2】What can we learn about the restaurant’s move to offer nonprofit meals?
A.People should take a box to pack the food.
B.The meals will be given for free.
C.Only poor people can get the food.
D.It can help its workers survive the crisis.
【3】Which of the following best describes Seni Felic?
A.Kind and optimistic.B.Brave and energetic.
C.Caring and humorous.D.Helpful and patient.

【题目】 Heads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions—serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.
“By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can put their health at further risk,” said AMA Board Member Jack Resneck Jr. M.D., in a statement.
The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor’s written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic(创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull(颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.
The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U. S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA’s new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.
【1】Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?
A.To raise safety standards of sports.
B.To protect athletes from concussions.
C.To set rules for health care evaluation.
D.To help players return to the game quickly.
【2】What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?
A.Avoid using the head.B.Leave the field forever.
C.Get treatment in time.D.Switch to another sport.
【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.What a concussion is.B.What causes damage to brain cells.
C.How the CDC works.D.How a concussion can be prevented.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Rules for Safer PlayB.Sports Injuries in the US
C.Advice to AthletesD.New Policies for Doctors

【题目】 Many years ago, a French naturalist, the Count de Buffon, wrote some books about natural history. 【1】.
Thomas Jefferson did not like what the Count had said about the natural wonders of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that the Count had gone out of his way to speak of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant. 【2】. He, too, was a naturalist, as well as a historian, writer and politician. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.
In 1788,Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Count de Buffon. 【3】. He said, “The Count de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”
【4】. However, in 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “Belittle has no chance of becoming English. And as more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it, the sooner it is forgotten, the better.”
【5】. Today, belittle is used, not only in the United States and England, but in other countries where the English language is spoken. It seems that efforts to belittle the word did not stop people from using it.
A.The books were a great success even though some people did not like them
B.They talked about the great cultural relics of different countries
C.Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it
D.The Count de Buffon was thought highly of at that time
E.At that moment, Jefferson created a new word -- belittle
F.This expert failed to kill the word
G.This troubled Thomas Jefferson
