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.
1.What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?( )
A.Pocket parks are now popular. B.Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C.Many cities are overpopulated. D.People enjoy living close to nature.
2.Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?( )
A.To compare different types of park-goers.
B.To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C.To analyze the main features of the park.
D.To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.
3.What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 5?( )
A.Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B.Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C.The same nature experience takes different forms.
D.The nature language enhances work performance.
4.What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn?( )
A.Language study. B.Environmental conservation.
C.Public education. D.Intercultural communication.
B
Official figures show that 101 people were killed in road accidents on the streets of London last year.The city wants to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on the capital’s roads to zero.It seems impossible.But it focuses minds on an important question: What can help reduce accidents in a big city? Transport for London (TfL), the capital’s road and rail authority, has some answers: safe speeds, safe vehicles, and so on.
A safety standard for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), which harnesses blind-spot cameras and close-proximity sensors (近距离传感器), is pioneering.These cameras and sensors are widely placed where they are needed.The European Commission has followed it.TfL has also helpfully identified London’s most dangerous places.Half of Britain’s most dangerous roads run through the capital.Around three-quarters of accidents that cause deaths or serious injuries happen at crossings; the Holborn gyratory, near the British Museum, has been the site of the most deaths since 2012.Westminster is the most dangerous area for walkers and cyclists, so it introduced 20 mph speed limits on all its roads in 2021.
“Vision Zero” was launched in 2018.Deaths and serious injuries on London’s roads have fallen — by 53% and 40% respectively in 2022.But movement is not one-way.Deaths were record-breakingly low in 2020 and 2021.But in 2022 the deaths rose again.“We are moving in the right direction,” says Will Norman, London’s walking and cycling commissioner.
A funding crisis for TfL has put off improving the riskiest spots.Only a few parts of the 1010 Avenue have bike lanes with guardrails.Safety is the biggest barrier to people taking up cycling or letting their children walk or cycle.But greener vehicles may be unsafe themselves.E-scooters (电动踏板车) are the latest thing to confuse planners.“One of those doing 50 mph down the road is not good for anybody,” said Mr Norman.
5.What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 1?( )
A.To make the article interesting.
B.To stress the importance of TfL.
C.To call on scientists to study the question.
D.To give some background information.
6.What does the underlined word “harnesses” in Paragraph 2 mean?( )
A.Compares. B.Removes.
C.Uses. D.Replaces.
7.What is Will Norman’s attitude to the “Vision Zero”?( )
A.Doubtful. B.Supportive.
C.Puzzled. D.Unclear.
8.What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?( )
A.Bike lanes are not safe anymore for riders on roads.
B.Children should think twice when taking up cycling.
C.Safety has been a problem for some eco-friendly vehicles.
D.E-scooters have become the biggest confusion for planners.

动词不定式作定语和结果状语
阅读下列句子并思考加黑部分的用法。
1.I was staying in Atlanta, and that was one of the cities to be hit.
2.That morning, I turned on the TV for some local news, only to hear that a hurricane was on its way.

4.I had enough food and water to last a whole week!
5.When the wind and rain stopped, I looked out of the window, only to see huge trees lying across the street and water everywhere!
【我的发现】
(1)动词不定式作定语时,动词不定式通常位于其所修饰的名词或代词的后面,作后置定语(如句 );
(2)动词不定式作结果状语时,通常指出乎意料的结果(如句 ),其前常用only。
一、动词不定式的时态和语态
时态 主动语态 被动语态
一般式 to do to be done
进行式 to be doing —
完成式 to have done to have been done
完成进行式 to have been doing —
二、动词不定式作定语
动词不定式作定语,一般置于被修饰的名词或代词后面,与名词或代词之间是主谓关系、动宾关系、同位关系或修饰关系。
1.主谓关系
被修饰的名词或代词是动词不定式的逻辑主语。序数词、形容词最高级或the last/the only/the next等后常用动词不定式作定语,与被修饰的名词或代词之间有逻辑上的主谓关系。
Who was the first man to climb Mount Qomolangma?
谁是第一个登上珠穆朗玛峰的人?
He is the only person to know the truth.
他是唯一了解真相的人。
2.动宾关系
被修饰的名词或代词是动词不定式的逻辑宾语。若动词不定式是不及物动词,需加介词才能与名词或代词之间构成动宾关系。
Tommy left us a lot of problems to solve.
汤米给我们留下了很多问题要解决。
He wanted to find a new house to live in.
他想找一所新房子住。
There is nothing to worry about.
没有什么可担心的。
名师点津
当动词不定式修饰的名词是time、 place或way时,动词不定式中的介词一般可以省去。
He had no money and no place to live.
他没有钱,也没有地方住。
3.同位关系
名词与动词不定式之间是同位关系。动词不定式是所修饰的名词的具体内容,抽象名词wish、 ability、 chance、 ambition、 anxiety、 reply、 attempt、 plan等后常用动词不定式作定语,与被修饰的名词之间为逻辑上的同位关系。
He broke his promise to write to his parents regularly.
他违背了定期给父母写信的诺言。
He has a wish to travel round the whole country.
他有一个周游全国的愿望。
4.修饰关系
动词不定式是所修饰的词的具体内容。
I need some space to place my luggage.
我需要一些空间放行李。
Now it is time to take a rest.
现在是休息时间。
The house to be built next year will be for the homeless.
明年要建造的这所房子是给那些无家可归的人的。
5.动词不定式作定语,有被动形式。
当动词不定式所修饰的名词是动词不定式动作的承受者时,动词不定式既可以用主动形式,也可以用被动形式,但其含义有所不同。比如:Do you have anything to send?意为“你有需要寄的东西吗?”,“寄东西”的执行者是“你”;而Do you have anything to be sent?意为“你有什么需要我(或别人)去寄的东西吗?”,动作的执行者是问话者或其他人。

三、动词不定式作结果状语
动词不定式作结果状语往往表示其动作发生在谓语动作之后,并且总是在句末,而不能置于句首。
1.动词不定式作结果状语,常用于以下结构:
(1)too+形容词/副词+to ...“太……而不能……”

(5)在never to ...结构中

他匆忙赶到车站,却发现火车已经开走了。
He picked up a stone, just to have it dropped on his own feet.

动词不定式作定语和结果状语
阅读下列句子并思考加蓝部分的用法。
1. I was staying in Atlanta, and that was one of the cities to be hit.
2. That morning, I turned on the TV for some local news, only to hear
that a hurricane was on its way.
3. The roads were blocked, so there was nothing for me to do but stay
inside.
4. I had enough food and water to last a whole week!
5. When the wind and rain stopped, I looked out of the window, only
to see huge trees lying across the street and water everywhere!
【我的发现】
(1)动词不定式作定语时,动词不定式通常位于其所修饰的名词或
代词的后面,作后置定语(如句 );
(2)动词不定式作结果状语时,通常指出乎意料的结果(如句
),其前常用only。
1、3、4
2、
5
一、动词不定式的时态和语态
时态 主动语态 被动语态
一般式 to do to be done
进行式 to be doing —
完成式 to have done to have been done
完成进行式 to have been doing —
二、动词不定式作定语
动词不定式作定语,一般置于被修饰的名词或代词后面,与名词或代
词之间是主谓关系、动宾关系、同位关系或修饰关系。
1. 主谓关系
被修饰的名词或代词是动词不定式的逻辑主语。序数词、形容词最
高级或the last/the only/the next等后常用动词不定式作定语,与被修
饰的名词或代词之间有逻辑上的主谓关系。
Who was the first man to climb Mount Qomolangma?
谁是第一个登上珠穆朗玛峰的人?
He is the only person to know the truth.
他是唯一了解真相的人。
2. 动宾关系
被修饰的名词或代词是动词不定式的逻辑宾语。若动词不定式是不
及物动词,需加介词才能与名词或代词之间构成动宾关系。
Tommy left us a lot of problems to solve.
汤米给我们留下了很多问题要解决。
He wanted to find a new house to live in.
他想找一所新房子住。
There is nothing to worry about.
没有什么可担心的。
名师点津
当动词不定式修饰的名词是time、 place或way时,动词不定式中的介
词一般可以省去。
He had no money and no place to live.
他没有钱,也没有地方住。
3. 同位关系
名词与动词不定式之间是同位关系。动词不定式是所修饰的名词的
具体内容,抽象名词wish、 ability、 chance、 ambition、 anxiety、
reply、 attempt、 plan等后常用动词不定式作定语,与被修饰的名
词之间为逻辑上的同位关系。
He broke his promise to write to his parents regularly.
他违背了定期给父母写信的诺言。
He has a wish to travel round the whole country.
他有一个周游全国的愿望。
4. 修饰关系
动词不定式是所修饰的词的具体内容。
I need some space to place my luggage.
我需要一些空间放行李。
Now it is time to take a rest.
现在是休息时间。
The house to be built next year will be for the homeless.
明年要建造的这所房子是给那些无家可归的人的。
5. 动词不定式作定语,有被动形式。
当动词不定式所修饰的名词是动词不定式动作的承受者时,动词不
定式既可以用主动形式,也可以用被动形式,但其含义有所不同。
比如:Do you have anything to send?意为“你有需要寄的东西
吗?”,“寄东西”的执行者是“你”;而Do you have anything to
be sent?意为“你有什么需要我(或别人)去寄的东西吗?”,动
作的执行者是问话者或其他人。

⑤I’m sure of his ability .
我确信他有能力处理这件事。
the first one to come every day
house to live in
something important to say
to go to college
to cope with this matter
三、动词不定式作结果状语
动词不定式作结果状语往往表示其动作发生在谓语动作之后,并且总
是在句末,而不能置于句首。
1. 动词不定式作结果状语,常用于以下结构:
(1)too+形容词/副词+to ...“太……而不能……”
The old woman was too weak to carry the heavy box.
这个老妇人太虚弱而搬不动这个沉重的箱子。
(2)...enough to ...“……足够……”
The room is large enough to take a third bed.
这个房间很大,足够放下第三张床。
He walked fast enough to keep up with his coach.
他走得很快,赶上了他的教练。
(3)so+形容词/副词+as to ...“如此……以至于……”
He studied so hard as to pass the last exam.
他学习如此努力以至于通过了上次的考试。
(4)such(+形容词)+名词+as to ...“如此……以至于……”
He is not such a fool as to do that.
他还没有蠢到做那种事。
(5)在never to ...结构中
His son left home on a cold morning, never to return.
他的儿子在一个寒冷的早上离开了家,再也没有回来。
2. 在特殊结构only to ...中,动词不定式常表示没有预料到的结果,
其前经常有only或just修饰。
He hurried to the station, only to find the train had left.
他匆忙赶到车站,却发现火车已经开走了。
He picked up a stone, just to have it dropped on his own feet.
他搬起石头却砸了自己的脚。
名师点津
动词-ing形式短语作结果状语常表示“自然而然的或意料、情理之中
的结果”。
His parents died early, leaving him an orphan.
他的父母早逝,使他成了孤儿。
The news shocked the public, leading to great concern about
students’ safety at school.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
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
“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.

1. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the
text?( )
A. Pocket parks are now popular.
B. Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C. Many cities are overpopulated.
D. People enjoy living close to nature.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段中access to nature for people
living in urban areas is becoming harder to find以及it’s unusual to
find places in a city that are relatively wild可知,在城市里很难找到
野生自然。
2. Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?
( )
A. To compare different types of park-goers.
B. To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C. To analyze the main features of the park.
D. To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句及第四段可知,研究人
员之所以进行编码分类是为了从公园游客提交的总结材料中找到他
们与自然交流行为的类别模式。
3. What can we learn from the example given in Paragraph 5?( )
A. Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B. Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C. The same nature experience takes different forms.
D. The nature language enhances work performance.

B
Official figures show that 101 people were killed in road accidents on
the streets of London last year.The city wants to reduce the number of
deaths and serious injuries on the capital’s roads to zero.It seems
impossible.But it focuses minds on an important question: What can help reduce accidents in a big city? Transport for London (TfL), the
capital’s road and rail authority, has some answers: safe speeds, safe vehicles, and so on.
A safety standard for Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), which
harnesses blind-spot cameras and close-proximity sensors (近距离传感
器), is pioneering.These cameras and sensors are widely placed where
they are needed.The European Commission has followed it.TfL has also
helpfully identified London’s most dangerous places.Half of Britain’s
most dangerous roads run through the capital.Around three-quarters of
accidents that cause deaths or serious injuries happen at crossings;the Holborn gyratory, near the British Museum, has been the site of the most deaths since 2012.Westminster is the most dangerous area for walkers and cyclists, so it introduced 20 mph speed limits on all its roads in 2021.
“Vision Zero” was launched in 2018.Deaths and serious injuries on London’s roads have fallen — by 53% and 40% respectively in 2022.But movement is not one-way.Deaths were record-breakingly low in 2020 and 2021.But in 2022 the deaths rose again.“We are moving in the right direction,” says Will Norman, London’s walking and cycling commissioner.
A funding crisis for TfL has put off improving the riskiest spots.Only
a few parts of the 1010 Avenue have bike lanes with guardrails.Safety is
the biggest barrier to people taking up cycling or letting their children walk
or cycle.But greener vehicles may be unsafe themselves.E-scooters (电
动踏板车) are the latest thing to confuse planners.“One of those doing
50 mph down the road is not good for anybody,” said Mr Norman.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了伦敦为了减少交通事故
采取了一系列措施以及“Vision Zero”计划。
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了伦敦为了减少交通事故
采取了一系列措施以及“Vision Zero”计划。
5. What is the author’s purpose in writing Paragraph 1?( )
A. To make the article interesting.
B. To stress the importance of TfL.
C. To call on scientists to study the question.
D. To give some background information.
解析: 目的意图题。根据第一段内容可知,去年伦敦街头有
101人死于交通事故。为了避免更多类似事故发生,伦敦交通局给
出了一些方法:保持安全的速度、保持车辆安全等。因此,第一段
的目的是给出背景信息。
6. What does the underlined word “harnesses” in Paragraph 2 mean?
( )
A. Compares. B. Removes.
C. Uses. D. Replaces.
解析: 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的These cameras and sensors
are widely placed where they are needed.可知,盲点摄像头和近距离
传感器被广泛安装在需要的地方。结合画线词所在句可知,一项针
对重型货车的安全标准使用了盲点摄像头和近距离传感器。由此猜
测,画线词意为“使用,利用”,与use意思相近。
7. What is Will Norman’s attitude to the “Vision Zero”?( )
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Puzzled. D. Unclear.
解析: 观点态度题。根据第三段中威尔·诺曼所说“We are
moving in the right direction”可知,威尔·诺曼对这项计划是
支持的。
8. What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?( )
A. Bike lanes are not safe anymore for riders on roads.
B. Children should think twice when taking up cycling.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Unlike hurricanes or floods, earthquakes happen without warning
and are usually followed by similar aftershocks, although the aftershocks
are usually less powerful than the quake.If you find yourself in the middle
of an earthquake, there’s often only a short time to decide what to
do.9.( )
Drop to the ground.The drop, cover, and hold on technique is the
cousin of the famous “stop,drop and roll” for fires.While it’s not the
only method of protecting yourself indoors during an earthquake, it is the
preferred method of the Red Cross.Big earthquakes occur without much,
if any, warning.10.( ) A small earthquake could turn into a big
earthquake in a split second; it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Take cover.Get under a firm table or other piece of furniture.11.
( ) If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and
head with your arms and crouch (蜷缩) in an inside corner of the building.
Hold on.12.( ) Hold on to whatever surface or platform
you’ve gotten under and wait for the shaking to stop.If you were unable
to find a surface to hide under, continue to keep your head protected by
your arms and tucked (躲藏,隐藏) down low.
13.( ) Researchers have shown that most injuries happen
when people try to change the place of hiding or when the place is crowded
and everyone has a goal to get outside safe.
A. Stay inside until it’s safe to get out.
B. In that case, move to the nearest safe place.
C. Stairs are dangerous places to walk during an earthquake.
D. So it’s recommended that you drop to the floor as soon as it hits.
E. If possible, stay away from windows and anything that could fall.
F. The ground maybe shaking and pieces of wood or brick could be
falling.
G. Studying the following advice could be the difference between life and
death.

以下建议可能是生与死的区别)承接上文,并引出下文提出的建议。
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要给出了四条发生地震时该
如何反应的建议。
10. D 本段主旨句Drop to the ground.说明本段给出的建议是卧倒在
地。根据空格上下文可知,大地震发生时不会有太多预警,而小地震
在一刹那也可能会变成大地震。D项(所以建议地震一发生你就卧倒
在地)符合本段主旨,且与上下文语义一致。
11. E 本段主旨句Take cover.说明本段给出的建议是躲起来。上句说
明躲起来时应注意的事项。E项(如果可能的话,远离窗户和任何可
能坠落的物体)继续介绍躲起来时的注意事项。
12. F 下句说明要待在相对安全的平面或平台下面,等待震动停
止。F项(地面可能会晃动,木块或砖块可能会掉落)解释下文动
作的原因。
13. A 空格位于段首,为本段主旨句。下文说明大多数伤害发生在
人们试图改变躲藏的地点或者地方太拥挤并且每个人都想出去时。A
项(待在里面,直到出去是安全的)能够概括下文内容。
