Here's a list of books I'm looking forward to this fall season. Not all of them will rise to the level of the advertisement, but it's an abundant crop.
"Home After Dark" by David Small (Liveright, Sept. 11 )
In 2009, Small published a celebrated graphic memoir (回忆录) called"Stitches". Now the Caldecott Medal winner is back with a graphic novel about a motherless 13-year-old boy brought up in an unhappy home in California. This is a tale told in few words and many striking images. On Sept. 11 at 3p.m., Small will be at Amazonbooks at Union Market. More information at www. amazon.com/graph-tale.
"Waiting for Eden" by Elliot Ackerman (Knopf, Sept. 25)
This brief novel is related by a dead soldier who is watching over a horribly burned partner in a Texas hospital. That sounds embarrassingly emotional, but Ackerman, who served in a Navy in Iraq and Afghanistan, is one of the best soldier-writers of his generation. More information at www. amazon. com/military-essay.
"All You Can Ever Know" by Nicole Chung (Catapult, Oct. 2)
Chung, the editor of the literary magazine Catapult, was adopted as a baby by a white family in Oregon. In this memoir, she writes about her childhood, her Asian American identity and her search for the Korean parents who gave her up. More information at www. amazon. com/politics-prose.

Aaron has performed in Germany, Korea, the Czech Republic and across the United States. His back flip (翻) earned him a place in “Guinness World Records”. Aaron doesn't use a skateboard to do his tricks. He sticks a perfect four wheeled landing with his wheelchair. That's quite an accomplishment for a kid who was born with spina bifida, a developmental birth defect (缺陷) that made him even unable to sit independently.
One day, when he was eight, his friends encouraged him to roll down a shallow ramp (斜坡). It was a scary first ride. Aaron crashed his hands, but he was attracted. Six months later, after endless hard trying and training, he accomplished his first trick—lifting up one of the back wheels while crossing a barrier.
“The more I rode, the better I became, though I have to admit that the process involved falling in every way possible,” says Aaron. When Aaron performed his first airborne 180 out of the box, Steve, his father, sensed an opportunity, videotaped the performance and sent it to the Internet. A letter soon arrived from John Box, founder of Colours’N Motion, encouraging him to call him directly whenever they needed anything. Aaron has a sponsor since.
With his mother helping with scheduling, he has had the opportunity to travel within the US as well as internationally. He has attended summer camps for disabled children as a coach. “I know that I can be an inspiration for disabled kids,” says Aaron. “The message I want to convey to kids and adults is very simple: Always test your boundaries and don't let the disability restrict your capacities and possibilities.”
4. What happened when Aaron first tried to roll down a ramp
A. He crashed into his friend and got hurt. B. He became interested in the sport.
C. He was too scared to try the sport again. D. He accomplished his first trick.
5. Who funded Aaron to achieve his goal
A. Steve. B. John Box.
C. His friends. D. His mother.
6. Which of the following words best describe Aaron
A. Independent and cooperative. B. Ambitious and generous.
C. Courageous and determined. D. Energetic and humorous.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Aaron: skating ability beyond disability.
B. Aaron: inspiration for skating coaches.
C. A boy working for “Guinness World Records”.
D. A boy seeking to be an Internet celebrity.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了，Aaron（亚伦）超越身体限制，练习滑板后空翻，挑战极限的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“One day, when he was eight, his friends encouraged him to roll down a shallow ramp (斜坡). It was a scary first ride. Aaron crashed his hands, but he was attracted.”（八岁那年的一天，他的朋友鼓励他滚下一个斜坡。这是一个可怕的短途旅程。Aaron摔伤了手，但他被吸引住了。），可知Aaron第一次试图从斜坡上滚下来时，他被滚下斜坡这项运动吸引住了。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“A letter soon arrived from John Box, founder of Colours’N Motion, encouraging him to call him directly whenever they needed anything. Aaron has a sponsor since.”（不久，Colours’N Motion创始人John Box寄来了一封信，鼓励他在他们需要什么的时候直接给他打电话。Aaron从那时起就有了赞助商。），可知John Box是Aaron的赞助商，资助Aaron实现他的目标。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“That's quite an accomplishment for a kid who was born with spina bifida, a developmental birth defect (缺陷) that made him even unable to sit independently.”（对于一个出生时患有脊柱裂的孩子来说，这是一个相当大的成就，脊柱裂是一种发育性出生缺陷，使他甚至不能独立坐着。），第三段中的““The more I rode, the better I became, though I have to admit that the process involved falling in every way possible,” says Aaron.”（“我翻得越多，我就变得越好，尽管我不得不承认这个过程涉及到各种可能的坠落，” Aaron说。）和最后一段中的“The message I want to convey to kids and adults is very simple: Always test your boundaries and don't let the "disability' restrict your capacities and possibilities.”（我想传达给孩子和成年人的信息非常简单：永远测试你的界限，不要让‘残疾’限制你的能力和可能性。），可知Aaron患有脊柱裂，不能独立坐着，且滑板后空翻涉及到各种可能的坠落，在这种身有残疾的情况下不顾危险还要继续追梦，说明他很勇敢且意志坚定。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段讲“身有残疾的Aaron，他的滑板后空翻为他赢得了“吉尼斯世界纪录”的一席之地”，第二段讲“什么激发了Aaron对滑板后空翻的热情”，第三段讲“Aaron不断练习滑板后空翻，得到了赞助去实现梦想”，第四段讲“Aaron希望他的行为给别人带来积极影响”，可知文章主要讲身有残疾的Aaron（亚伦）超越身体限制，练习滑板后空翻，挑战极限，并以此鼓励他人的故事。A项“Aaron：超越残疾的滑板能力”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选A项。
C
While jewelry made from gold can be beautiful, most people admit that wearing the heavy metal over long periods of time can get a little annoying. Now, researchers from Swiss university ETH Zurich have created a new form of lightweight gold that weighs five to ten times less than traditional 18-carat gold—which typically consists of 75 percent gold and 25 percent copper—but has the same purity.
The researchers began by mixing gold with water, salt, protein fibers and other materials. They then replaced the water with alcohol and placed the mixture inside a high-pressure carbon dioxide (CO2) box. The reaction between the gas and alcohol transformed the golden plastic into a light material that can be heated to melt and made into whatever form was needed. "This gold has some characteristics of plastic,” says team leader Raffaele Mezzenga, professor of Food and Soft Materials at ETH Zurich.
In addition to being lighter, the "plastic” gold has other advantages over traditional forms. It can be melted into shape at about 105 degrees Celsius, much lower than the 1,064 degrees Celsius required to melt pure 24-carat gold. The metal's firmness can be easily adjusted by changing the components at the beginning of the process. It is also much easier to vary the color. "As a general rule, our approach lets us create almost any kind of gold we choose, in line with the desired properties, says Mezzenga.
The researchers, who published their study in the journal Advanced Functional Materials on January 10, 2020, believe the new lightweight gold will be able to replace the metallic version in most traditional applications, including jewelry and watches. However, given that most buyers associate high-quality gold with weight, that may take some time. But the material will undoubtedly be beneficial for use inside electronic devices, chemical catalysts (催化剂),and even radiation shielding.
8. Why do many people find the traditional gold annoying
A. It costs too much。
B. Its purity is too low.
C. It feels too heavy to wear long.
D. Its beauty lasts a short time,
9. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The functions of the "plastic" gold.
B. The components of the "plastic” gold.
C. The characteristics of the "plastic” gold.
D. The production process of the "plastic" gold.
10. Which is the "plastic" gold's advantage over the traditional gold
A. It is easier to process.
B. It is more widely used.
C. It has a lower temperature.
D. It is more convenient to get.
11. Where is this text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A guidebook.
C. A novel. D. A magazine.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了研究人员通过技术手段研制出了新型的轻质黄金。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段While jewelry made from gold can be beautiful, most people admit that wearing the heavy metal over long periods of time can get a little annoying.( 虽然黄金制成的珠宝很漂亮，但大多数人承认长时间佩戴重金属会让人有点厌烦。)可知，人们觉得传统的金子首饰戴久了太重。故选C。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段The researchers began by mixing gold with water, salt, protein fibers and other materials. They then replaced the water with alcohol and placed the mixture inside a high-pressure carbon dioxide (CO2) box. The reaction between the gas and alcohol transformed the golden plastic into a light material that can be heated to melt and made into whatever form was needed.可知，研究人员首先将黄金与水、盐、蛋白质纤维和其他材料混合。然后，他们用酒精代替水，并将混合物放入高压二氧化碳(CO2)盒中。气体和酒精之间的反应将黄金塑料转化为一种轻质材料，可以加热熔化，并制成任何需要的形式。因此推断本段主要介绍了新的轻质黄金的制造过程。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中In addition to being lighter, the "plastic” gold has other advantages over traditional forms. It can be melted into shape at about 105 degrees Celsius, much lower than the 1,064 degrees Celsius required to melt pure 24-carat gold. The metal's firmness can be easily adjusted by changing the components at the beginning of the process. It is also much easier to vary the color.(除了较轻，“塑料”黄金比传统形式有其他优势。它可以在105摄氏度左右熔化成形状，远低于熔化纯24克拉金所需的1,064摄氏度。金属的硬度可以很容易地通过改变过程开始时的部件来调整。改变颜色也容易得多)可知，新型黄金熔点低，硬度易调节，颜色易调整。从而可以推断出，新型黄金更容易加工处理。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers, who published their study in the journal Advanced Functional Materials on January 10, 2020(研究人员于2020年1月10日在《高级功能材料》杂志上发表了他们的研究)”并结合文章体裁和内容可知，本文最有可能出自于杂志。故选D。

The great outdoors: it’s the place to head for when you’re in need of peace and quiet, open spaces, beautiful scenery and exercise. Whether a huge mountain range or a local country park, these natural areas are perfect for us to refresh from our stressed-out lives, and their therapeutic (治疗的) effect is being used more and more to treat mental health.
As an example, in the foothills of the Snowdonia National Park in the UK, specialist therapy sessions are held to help people who suffer from depression, anxiety and stress. Outdoor art-related activities are held for patients, but the setting alone has been credited with improving the mood of patients. Art psychotherapist Pamela Stanley told the BBC that there was a “growing body of evidence” to support eco-therapy.
It’s true that for most of us connecting with the natural world definitely lifts our spirits. But the mental health charity Mind says eco-therapy has been recognized as a formal type of treatment that can sometimes be prescribed to someone by a doctor. It doesn’t involve taking medication, but instead it just develops a person’s relationship with nature. This natural remedy can take on many forms, including doing yoga in a forest, gardening or even hugging a tree.
Evidence has shown there are many benefits of this “green” therapy, including improving social contact, social and work skills and coping abilities. It’s what Dr. Rachel Bragg from the University of Essex calls “psychological recovery”. She told the BBC’s All in the Mind programme that nature-based therapies should be part of a “toolkit” of care for patients.
Of course, eco-therapy won’t cure everything, but it is an option for therapists to use. And as we become more aware of the causes and effects of mental health, it’s good to know that help might lie outside our towns and cities, and that nature can give us a helping hand.
12. In what way does nature work in the therapeutic effect
A. It helps people get much relieved. B. It helps people do bodybuilding.
C. It is doctor’s preference for treatments. D. It can help us fully recover from the illness.
13. What does the underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Option. B. Contact. C. Treatment. D. Effect.
14. What might be the best way of receiving eco-therapy
A. Looking after a garden. B. Taking medicine.
C. Reading at home. D. Gathering with friends.
15. What is Dr. Rachel Bragg’s attitude towards the eco-therapy
A. Indifferent. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Positive.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生态疗法的定义和好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Whether a huge mountain range or a local country park, these natural areas are perfect for us to refresh from our stressed-out lives, and their therapeutic (治疗的) effect is being used more and more to treat mental health.(无论是巨大的山脉还是当地的国家公园，这些自然区域都是让我们从压力山大的生活中恢复精神的完美场所，它们的治疗效果正越来越多地用于治疗心理健康)”可知，大自然可以缓解人们的压力帮助人们得到很大的解脱。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“But the mental health charity Mind says eco-therapy has been recognized as a formal type of treatment that can sometimes be prescribed to someone by a doctor.(但心理健康慈善机构Mind表示，生态疗法已经被认可为一种正式的治疗类型，有时可以由医生开给某人)”可知，本段主要介绍的是生态疗法，所以remedy指的是“疗法”。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But the mental health charity Mind says eco-therapy has been recognized as a formal type of treatment that can sometimes be prescribed to someone by a doctor. It doesn’t involve taking medication, but instead it just develops a person’s relationship with nature.(但心理健康慈善机构Mind表示，生态疗法已经被认可为一种正式的治疗类型，有时可以由医生开给某人。它不涉及服用药物，而是发展人与自然的关系)”可推断，生态疗法指的是与自然相联系。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It’s what Dr. Rachel Bragg from the University of Essex calls “psychological recovery”. She told the BBC’s All in the Mind programme that nature-based therapies should be part of a “toolkit” of care for patients.(埃塞克斯大学的雷切尔·布拉格博士称之为“心理恢复”。她告诉BBC的All in the Mind节目，基于自然的疗法应该是病人护理“工具箱”的一部分)”可推断，Dr. Rachel Bragg对生态疗法持积极态度。故选D。

【67题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：以抗美援朝为背景的《长津湖》在国庆期间受到了热烈的欢迎。be set in（以…为背景）是固定短语，此处去掉be动词，set in在句中为非谓语动词短语作定语修饰前面的名词。故把setting改为set。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是埃利奥汽车公司计划制造一种名为埃利奥的微型汽车。
【71题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：埃利奥汽车公司计划制造一种名为埃利奥的微型汽车。分析可知，句中谓语是plans，空格处用非谓语形式，car和name之间是被动关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，作后置定语，故填named。
【72题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：它的两个座位是坐在前面和后面，而不是并排的。side by side是固定短语，意为“并排”。故填by。

考查冠词。句意：它有空调、电动窗、门锁和一个AM/FM收音机。radio意为“收音机”，是可数名词，且此处表泛指，因此前面要加不定冠词，AM/FM是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。
【76题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：更多的设备可以通过Elio的供应商列表订购。equipment是被订购，因此句子用被动语态，can是情态动词，其后跟动词原形，因此空格处是be ordered，故填be ordered。
【77题详解】
考查过去将来时。句意：保罗·埃利奥小时候就梦想拥有一家名为埃利奥汽车公司。根据语境可知，句子表示“保罗·埃利奥小时候就梦想拥有一家名为埃利奥的汽车公司”，dreamed是过去式，因此that从句所描述的动作用过去将来时，即would do，故填would own。
【78题详解】
考查副词。句意：对他来说，同样重要的是创造美国制造业的就业机会，并使汽车足够便宜，以吸引那些可能被困在旧的、不可靠的汽车上的买家。空格处用副词修饰形容词important，equal的副词是equally，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Equally。

Our class joined in a meaningful activity during the winter vacation. First, we went to visit the old lady who lived alone. Some chatted with her but others helped do a thorough cleaning. We sweep the floor and dusted the table. When the work was done, the house looked real neat and tidy. Then we went to the sports center, which different sports facilities needed polished. We set out to work at once. We picked up the litters on the ground. In no time everything was dust-free. Having done all this, we saw a pleasant community than before. Tiring as we were, we felt happy as all of our work was paid off.
【答案】1. the→an
2. but→and或while
3. sweep→swept
4. real→really
5. which→where
6. polished→polishing
7. litters→litter
8.pleasant前加more
9. Tiring→Tired
10. 去掉was
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者的班级在寒假期间参加的一次有意义的活动。
【详解】1.考查冠词。句意：首先，我们去拜访了一位独居的老太太。句中名词lady是可数名词单数，泛指“一位独居的老太太”，应用不定冠词，old发音以元音音素开头，应用an。故将the改为an。
2.考查连词。句意：一些人和她聊天，其他人帮她做彻底的清洁。前文Some chatted with her和后文others helped do a thorough cleaning之间是并列对比关系，不是转折关系，应用并列连词and或连词while强调对比。故将but改为and或while。
3.考查动词时态。句意：我们扫地板，掸去桌子上的灰尘。文章讲述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时，故将sweep改为swept。
4.考查副词。句意：当工作完成后，房子看起来真的很整洁。修饰形容词neat and tidy应用副词。故将real改为really。
5.考查定语从句。句意：然后我们去了体育中心，那里所有的设备都需要擦亮。分析句子可知，逗号后为非限制性定语从句，先行词为地点名词the sports center，关系副词where引导从句，在从句中作地点状语。故将which改为where。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意：然后我们去了体育中心，那里所有的设备都需要擦亮。need doing等于need to be done，意为“需要……”，是动词习惯用法，动名词作宾语表示被动。故将polished改为polishing。
7.考查名词。句意：我们收拾了地上的垃圾。litter“垃圾”是不可数名词，故将litters改为litter。
8.考查形容词比较级。句意：在做了所有这些之后，我们看到了一个比以前更愉快的社区。根据句中的than可知，形容词pleasant应用比较级。故在pleasant前加more。
9.考查-ing结尾的和-ed结尾的形容词区别。句意：虽然我们很累，但我们感到很高兴，因为我们所有的工作都得到了回报。一般来讲，-ing结尾的形容词常修饰事物；-ed结尾的形容词常修饰人，此处应用-ed结尾的形容词，修饰主语we(人)，表示人的感受。故将Tiring改为Tired。
10.考查语态。句意：虽然我们很累，但我们感到很高兴，因为我们所有的工作都得到了好的结果。pay off“取得成功；得到好结果”是不及物动词短语且和主语all of our work之间是主动关系，用主动语态，不需要被动语态。故去掉paid前的was。

As we all know, China is country with a long history and splendid culture. As Chinese, it is our duty to spread our culture to the world.
There are many ways for us to be a cultural ambassador. First, we should try our best to be a fluent English speaker, which will enable us to communicate with foreigners without difficulty. Secondly, we can volunteer to be a guide to introduce our customs’ history and so on. Thirdly, we can also help foreigners learn China’s language and culture.
Everybody can be a cultural ambassador, so let’s take action now!
Thanks for listening.

Here's a list of books I'm looking forward to this fall season. Not all of them will rise to the level of the advertisement, but it's an abundant crop.
"Home After Dark" by David Small (Liveright, Sept. 11 )
In 2009, Small published a celebrated graphic memoir (回忆录) called"Stitches". Now the Caldecott Medal winner is back with a graphic novel about a motherless 13-year-old boy brought up in an unhappy home in California. This is a tale told in few words and many striking images. On Sept. 11 at 3p.m., Small will be at Amazonbooks at Union Market. More information at www. amazon.com/graph-tale.
"Waiting for Eden" by Elliot Ackerman (Knopf, Sept. 25)
This brief novel is related by a dead soldier who is watching over a horribly burned partner in a Texas hospital. That sounds embarrassingly emotional, but Ackerman, who served in a Navy in Iraq and Afghanistan, is one of the best soldier-writers of his generation. More information at www. amazon. com/military-essay.
"All You Can Ever Know" by Nicole Chung (Catapult, Oct. 2)
Chung, the editor of the literary magazine Catapult, was adopted as a baby by a white family in Oregon. In this memoir, she writes about her childhood, her Asian American identity and her search for the Korean parents who gave her up. More information at www. amazon. com/politics-prose.
"Unsheltered" by Barbara Kingsolver (Harper, Oct. 16)
Alternating between past and present, this novel tells the story of a woman investigating a late-19th-century science teacher who was caught up in the controversy over Darwinism. Like her other novels, this one promises to explore social and scientific problems. Visit www. amazon. com/tech-science for more information.

Aaron has performed in Germany, Korea, the Czech Republic and across the United States. His back flip (翻) earned him a place in “Guinness World Records”. Aaron doesn't use a skateboard to do his tricks. He sticks a perfect four wheeled landing with his wheelchair. That's quite an accomplishment for a kid who was born with spina bifida, a developmental birth defect (缺陷) that made him even unable to sit independently.
One day, when he was eight, his friends encouraged him to roll down a shallow ramp (斜坡). It was a scary first ride. Aaron crashed his hands, but he was attracted. Six months later, after endless hard trying and training, he accomplished his first trick—lifting up one of the back wheels while crossing a barrier.
“The more I rode, the better I became, though I have to admit that the process involved falling in every way possible,” says Aaron. When Aaron performed his first airborne 180 out of the box, Steve, his father, sensed an opportunity, videotaped the performance and sent it to the Internet. A letter soon arrived from John Box, founder of Colours’N Motion, encouraging him to call him directly whenever they needed anything. Aaron has a sponsor since.
With his mother helping with scheduling, he has had the opportunity to travel within the US as well as internationally. He has attended summer camps for disabled children as a coach. “I know that I can be an inspiration for disabled kids,” says Aaron. “The message I want to convey to kids and adults is very simple: Always test your boundaries and don't let the disability restrict your capacities and possibilities.”
4. What happened when Aaron first tried to roll down a ramp
A. He crashed into his friend and got hurt. B. He became interested in the sport.
C. He was too scared to try the sport again. D. He accomplished his first trick.
5. Who funded Aaron to achieve his goal
A. Steve. B. John Box.
C. His friends. D. His mother.
6. Which of the following words best describe Aaron
A. Independent and cooperative. B. Ambitious and generous.
C. Courageous and determined. D. Energetic and humorous.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Aaron: skating ability beyond disability.
B. Aaron: inspiration for skating coaches.
C. A boy working for “Guinness World Records”.
D. A boy seeking to be an Internet celebrity.
C
While jewelry made from gold can be beautiful, most people admit that wearing the heavy metal over long periods of time can get a little annoying. Now, researchers from Swiss university ETH Zurich have created a new form of lightweight gold that weighs five to ten times less than traditional 18-carat gold—which typically consists of 75 percent gold and 25 percent copper—but has the same purity.
The researchers began by mixing gold with water, salt, protein fibers and other materials. They then replaced the water with alcohol and placed the mixture inside a high-pressure carbon dioxide (CO2) box. The reaction between the gas and alcohol transformed the golden plastic into a light material that can be heated to melt and made into whatever form was needed. "This gold has some characteristics of plastic,” says team leader Raffaele Mezzenga, professor of Food and Soft Materials at ETH Zurich.
In addition to being lighter, the "plastic” gold has other advantages over traditional forms. It can be melted into shape at about 105 degrees Celsius, much lower than the 1,064 degrees Celsius required to melt pure 24-carat gold. The metal's firmness can be easily adjusted by changing the components at the beginning of the process. It is also much easier to vary the color. "As a general rule, our approach lets us create almost any kind of gold we choose, in line with the desired properties, says Mezzenga.
The researchers, who published their study in the journal Advanced Functional Materials on January 10, 2020, believe the new lightweight gold will be able to replace the metallic version in most traditional applications, including jewelry and watches. However, given that most buyers associate high-quality gold with weight, that may take some time. But the material will undoubtedly be beneficial for use inside electronic devices, chemical catalysts (催化剂),and even radiation shielding.
8. Why do many people find the traditional gold annoying
A. It costs too much。
B. Its purity is too low.
C. It feels too heavy to wear long.
D. Its beauty lasts a short time,
9. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The functions of the "plastic" gold.
B. The components of the "plastic” gold.
C. The characteristics of the "plastic” gold.
D. The production process of the "plastic" gold.
10. Which is the "plastic" gold's advantage over the traditional gold
A. It is easier to process.
B. It is more widely used.
C. It has a lower temperature.
D. It is more convenient to get.
11. Where is this text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A guidebook.
C. A novel. D. A magazine.
D
The great outdoors: it’s the place to head for when you’re in need of peace and quiet, open spaces, beautiful scenery and exercise. Whether a huge mountain range or a local country park, these natural areas are perfect for us to refresh from our stressed-out lives, and their therapeutic (治疗的) effect is being used more and more to treat mental health.
As an example, in the foothills of the Snowdonia National Park in the UK, specialist therapy sessions are held to help people who suffer from depression, anxiety and stress. Outdoor art-related activities are held for patients, but the setting alone has been credited with improving the mood of patients. Art psychotherapist Pamela Stanley told the BBC that there was a “growing body of evidence” to support eco-therapy.
It’s true that for most of us connecting with the natural world definitely lifts our spirits. But the mental health charity Mind says eco-therapy has been recognized as a formal type of treatment that can sometimes be prescribed to someone by a doctor. It doesn’t involve taking medication, but instead it just develops a person’s relationship with nature. This natural remedy can take on many forms, including doing yoga in a forest, gardening or even hugging a tree.
Evidence has shown there are many benefits of this “green” therapy, including improving social contact, social and work skills and coping abilities. It’s what Dr. Rachel Bragg from the University of Essex calls “psychological recovery”. She told the BBC’s All in the Mind programme that nature-based therapies should be part of a “toolkit” of care for patients.
Of course, eco-therapy won’t cure everything, but it is an option for therapists to use. And as we become more aware of the causes and effects of mental health, it’s good to know that help might lie outside our towns and cities, and that nature can give us a helping hand.
12. In what way does nature work in the therapeutic effect
A. It helps people get much relieved. B. It helps people do bodybuilding.
C It is doctor’s preference for treatments. D. It can help us fully recover from the illness.
13. What does the underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Option. B. Contact. C. Treatment. D. Effect.
14. What might be the best way of receiving eco-therapy
A. Looking after a garden. B. Taking medicine.
C. Reading at home. D. Gathering with friends.
15. What is Dr. Rachel Bragg’s attitude towards the eco-therapy
A. Indifferent. B. Negative. C. Neutral. D. Positive.
