As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you're lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding(编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant's experience of “We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves.”
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions, half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.

You've heard that plastic is polluting the oceans—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.
At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,”a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source(来源) of plastic pollution, but they've recently come under fire because most people don't need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that's part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone,the straw will take centuries to disappear.
In a piece from 2018,Von Wong wanted to illustrate(说明) a specific statistic:Every 60 seconds,a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped(倾倒) from a truck all at once.
Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.
5.What are Von Wong's artworks intended for
A.Beautifying the city he lives in.
B.Introducing eco-friendly products.
C.Drawing public attention to plastic waste.
D.Reducing garbage on the beach.
6.Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3
A.To show the difficulty of their recycling.
B.To explain why they are useful.
C.To voice his views on modern art.
D.To find a substitute for them.
7.What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers
A.Calming. B.Disturbing.
C.Refreshing. D.Challenging.
8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Artists' Opinions on Plastic Safety
B.Media Interest in Contemporary Art
C.Responsibility Demanded of Big Companies
D.Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了城市的荒野对人们的健康非常重要。
1.B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find.”可知,随着城市的急剧扩张,住在城市的人们接触大自然变得越来越难。
2.D 推理判断题。根据文章第三段第二句“They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park.(他们调查了数百名公园游客,要求他们在网上提交一份书面总结,关于他们在公园里与大自然进行的有意义的互动。)”以及第四段第一句(在这320份提交的材料中,一种被研究人员称为“自然语言”的类别模式开始出现。)可知,研究者对参与者提交的材料进行编码分类是为了找到游客在公园里活动的模式。
3.C 推理判断题。根据本段结构可知,其中的例子是为了证明段首主旨句“Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them”。它帮助说明该研究中产生的a usable language能够帮助人们识别对他们来说最满意、最有意义的活动,从而在这种语言指导下去参与能够带来相同体验的其他活动,即同一种自然体验,活动形式可能不同。因此选C。
4.B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中Peter Kahn的话“And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it(为了实现那一点,我们还需要保护自然,这样我们才能与它互动)”可知在与自然互动之前,我们需要保护它。
【高考词汇站】 1.unusual 2.relatively 3.wildness

◎语篇解读 本文为说明文。文章介绍了Benjamin Von Wong为倡导环保而把塑料废物做成艺术品,用有趣的方式呼吁人们关爱我们的地球。
5.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“He builds massive...forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.”可知Von Wong 把塑料废物制成了雕塑,让看到雕塑的人重新审视他们和一次性塑料产品之间的关系,以达到让人们关注塑料污染问题的目的。
6.A 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled.”及第二句的“because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled”可知,全球只有9%的塑料废品被回收利用,吸管因小而且轻不能被回收利用。故选A。
7.B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“In a piece...a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds,a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean.”可知,Von Wong 想用“Truckload of Plastic”这件作品说明每60秒就有一卡车的量的塑料被倒入海洋,以引起人们的担忧。
8.D 主旨大意题。文章介绍Von Wong把污染海洋的塑料垃圾制成艺术品,唤醒人们对一次性塑料制品的关注,提高人们的环保意识。因此D项“海洋塑料变成了雕塑”最适合作为文章标题。
【高考词汇站】 1.massive 2.viewer 3.appearance;disappear 4.清理 5.艺术品 6.试图劝说
长难句
原句 For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,”Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they'd been dumped from a truck all at once.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。“titled...”为过去分词短语作定语,修饰work;which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词 more than 10,000 pieces of plastic,关系词在从句中作主语;were tied是从句中的谓语。
译文 为了这个名为“Truckload of Plastic”的作品,Von Wong和一群志愿者收集了一万多片塑料,然后把它们捆在一起,看起来就像从卡车上一下子被倾倒下来。
