B卷——大题提能练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2021·北京东城区模拟)Mathew White, an environmental psychologist, is on a mission to give Mother Nature the respect he thinks she deserves when it comes to human health.For decades, scientists and health care professionals have recognized that exposure to green spaces, such as public parks or forests, is linked with lower risks of all sorts of illnesses common in the world.Experimental work has demonstrated various physiological responses that occur when people spend time in natural environments: blood pressure drops, heart rate decreases, immune function improves, and the nervous system directs the body to rest and digest.
As humans increasingly populate urbanized areas, they are spending less and less time in natural environments.“But before doctors can start advising their patients to head to the nearest park, there is an important outstanding question,” says White.“How much time in nature do you need to generate these apparent benefits?” Most of the research that has linked health outcomes with exposure to the natural world didn't use frequency or duration of park visits, but rather the amount of green space within a certain distance of a person's home.White says,“But it's not so much where you live; it's whether you use it or not.”
So he collected data to estimate what dose (剂量) of nature was needed to show benefits to a person's health.White's group found the answer: Spending at least two hours in nature per week was strongly correlated with self reports of being in good health or having high well being.“I was very surprised, to be honest,” says White, who had been expecting a much longer time.“We had no idea that such a clear threshold of time per week would emerge from the data.”
He was further surprised to learn that it didn't seem to matter how many trips to a park people took, so long as they got in their two hours per week.It could be a long visit one day, a couple of hour long trips, three visits of 40 minutes, or four half hour excursions.He and his colleagues speculate that, if nature's apparent health benefits are a result of being able to de stress, then whatever pattern of green space exposure fits one's schedule is probably the best way to achieve that goal.
Health care recommendations for people to spend time in nature are probably years away, but the movement has begun.Several organizations around the world are working to promote awareness of nature's contribution to health.Some researchers have used the term “a dose of nature” to evaluate the amount of exposure needed to gain benefits.“That was kind of the deliberate medicalization of the language around nature and health,” says White.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们在自然环境中会产生各种生理反应:血压下降、心率下降、免疫功能改善、神经系统引导身体休息和消化。每周至少在自然中待上两个小时与良好的健康状况或拥有高幸福感的自我报告密切相关。
1.White's research focused on________.
A.required amount of green space
B.benefits from the exposure to nature
C.necessary time length of nature visits
D.physical responses to outdoor activities
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“says White.‘How much time in nature do you need to generate these apparent benefits?’ Most of the research that has linked health outcomes with exposure to the natural world didn't use frequency or duration of park visits, but rather the amount of green space within a certain distance of a person's home”可知,对于以前大部分的研究来说,都没有研究公园的参观频率和持续时间。由此可推知,怀特的主要研究内容就是对于公园绿地的使用频率和使用时间。故C项necessary time length of nature visits(访问自然的必要时长)符合以上推理。故选C。
2.What does the underlined phrase “threshold of time” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Maximum time. B.Minimum time.
C.Adequate time. D.Average time.
B 解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“‘I was very surprised, to be honest,’ says White, who had been expecting a much longer time.”可知,原本怀特是认为大家会花很多时间在大自然中,但是数据却让他大吃一惊。由此可推知,人们每周花在大自然中的时间是非常少的。故B项Minimum time.(最少时间)就是画线短语想表达的含义。故选B。
3.From the last paragraph, we can infer that White________.
A.is confident about his mission
B.is willing to cooperate with others
C.has persuaded others to accept his idea
D.has adopted the term for his research result
A 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Some researchers have used the term ‘a dose of nature’ to evaluate the amount of exposure needed to gain benefits.‘That was kind of the deliberate medicalization of the language around nature and health,’ says White.”可知,怀特对于其他研究人员所得出的结论表示不赞同。由此可推知,怀特更加相信自己的观点。故选A。
4.What's the best title for the passage
A.Respect for Nature
B.Nature as Medicine
C.Present from Nature
D.Mission in Nature
B 解析:标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了人们在自然环境中会产生各种生理反应:血压下降、心率下降、免疫功能改善、神经系统引导身体休息和消化。每周至少在自然中待上两个小时与良好的健康状况或拥有高幸福感的自我报告密切相关。所以B项Nature as Medicine(自然作为药物)就是本文的最佳标题。故选B。
B
(2021·安徽池州质检)The Wall Street Journal recently published an excellent article penned by Wendy Bounds on a hot topic here at MNN: the air purifying qualities of the common houseplant.Given that the air inside your home can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air outside of it, making it clean with plants like peace lily (百合花) and asparagus fern (芦笋蕨) is an economical, artistically pleasing alternative to air purifiers.So it's been acknowledged that a bunch of pretty potted houseplants can help you maintain a healthier home, but a smarter home
That's the question in light of a recent study published by the Journal of Environmental Psychology showing that the presence of plants in a room, particularly in an office environment, can shrink attention span.Struggling directive attention (the kind of attention that takes effort)can be refreshed through exposure to naturalistic environments.Basically, taking a walk through the park can clear one's head.But can a head be refreshed simply by being surrounded by houseplants
To test their theory, the study's authors rounded up a bunch of participants, put some of them in a room with no plants and put others in a room with our plants placed around a desk, and put them all to the same series of tests.First was a Reading Span Test which involves reading a series of sentences aloud and remembering the last word in each sentence.This task requires that they fluently switch between attention demanding tasks: from reading and memorizing at one moment, to writing and recalling at the next.Next came a proofreading task followed by another Reading Span Test.
The results Participants working in the room with the plants improved their performance from the first Reading Span Test to the second while those working in the room lacking in greenery did not.Consequently, the benefits of working among plants is indeed evident.

5.What do we know from the first paragraph
A.Staying indoors can help avoid the poorer air outdoors.
B.Houseplants can function as beautiful cheap air purifiers.
C.Planting potted flowers as decorations is very interesting.
D.Air purifiers are the most effective to create a healthy home.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Given that the air inside your home can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air outside of it, making it clean with plants like peace lily (百合花) and asparagus fern (芦笋蕨) is an economical, artistically pleasing alternative to air purifiers.”可知,鉴于室内空气污染比室外空气污染严重2到5倍,用百合花、芦笋蕨这些植物来当作空气净化器净化室内空气既经济实惠又美观。故选B。
6.What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably refer to
A.Focus one's attention.
B.Disturb one's attention.
C.Weaken one's attention.
D.Turn one's attention away.
A 解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Struggling directive attention (the kind of attention that takes effort) can be refreshed through exposure to naturalistic environments.”可知,挣扎的注意力(需要努力的注意力)可以通过置身于自然环境中来恢复。由此可推知,缩小注意力范围即指注意力得到恢复,变得更专注。故选A。
7.What does the test prove
A.Working in nature helps increase productivity.
B.Houseplants will be in great demand in our life.
C.Greenery creates healthier naturalistic atmosphere indoors.
D.Working among houseplants improves mental functioning.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Participants working in the room with the plants improved their performance from the first Reading Span Test to the second while those working in the room lacking in greenery did not.Consequently, the benefits of working among plants is indeed evident.”可知,在有植物的房间里工作的参与者从第一次阅读广度测试到第二次阅读广度测试的成绩都有所提高,而在没有绿色植物的房间里工作的参与者则没有。因此,在有植物的房间工作的好处是显而易见的。由此可知,这个测试证实了在有植物的房间内工作可以改善精神功能。故选D。
8.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Flowers: Grand Feast to Eyes
B.Greenery: Effective Air purifier
C.Houseplants: Visual Brain Food
D.Potted Plants: Great House beautifier
C 解析:标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知,本文介绍室内植物可以很好地提高人们的注意力,对大脑的工作效果起到积极作用。C项“室内植物:脑视觉的食物”为文章最佳标题。故选C。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了正在迅速发展的全球旅游业,但有一个例外——因为种种原因,美国对国际游客来说不那么受欢迎。
1.quickly 解析:考查副词。句意:全球旅游业正迅速发展。本句谓语动词是is developing,要用副词修饰is developing,说明发展的速度很快。故填quickly。
2.the 解析:考查冠词。句意:美国人曾经是这个行业最大的推动者。根据形容词最高级biggest可知此处用the。故填the。
3.traveled 解析:考查动词的时态。句意:去年,中国人比其他任何国家的人旅行和消费的都要多。句子的时间状语是Last year,主语是more Chinese people,因此应该用一般过去时,travel的过去式是traveled。故填traveled。
4.As 解析:考查连词。句意:随着新兴市场国家的中产阶级越来越富裕,他们的旅行预算也在增长。这里表示伴随的情况,随着新兴市场国家的中产阶级越来越富裕,as在这里是连词,意为“随着”,句首要注意大写。故填As。
5.making 解析:考查现在分词。句意:和约旦、澳大利亚和以色列等国相比,印度游客的数量也在增加,让印度人更容易获得签证。主句是“The number of Indian travelers is also rising(印度游客的数量也在增加)”,因此就使得印度人更容易获得签证,这里用现在分词作结果状语。故填making。
6.passports 解析:考查名词的复数。句意:尽管只有7%的中国公民持有护照……谓语是have,主语是Chinese citizens, passport作宾语,是可数名词,故要用复数。故填passports。
7.choice 解析:考查名词。句意:墨西哥是美国人的首选。the number one意为“第一”,后接名词的单数形式。故填choice。
8.spent 解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:与此同时,欧洲人倾向于留在欧洲,在欧盟留宿的游客大约有90%是欧洲游客。nights与spend是逻辑上的动宾关系,且句中还有by,应该用过去分词spent,表示被动。故填spent。
9.with 解析:考查介词。句意:世界上大部分地区的旅游业都在增长,只有一个显著的例外。exception意为“例外”可知,这里是指下文列举的例外,是一种伴随关系。故填with。
10.stronger 解析:考查形容词的比较级。句意:对来自穆斯林国家的人们的旅行禁令、更多的签证检查和美元走强使得美国对国际游客来说不那么受欢迎。根据句中形容词比较级more可知此处应该也用形容词比较级,修饰名词 dollar。故填stronger。
