1.A 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It’s not hard to be poetic about the broad and deep benefits of spending time in natural spaces, from amazing national parks to the simple loveliness of a walk around a city park or tree-lined neighbourhood street, and some time working in the dirt of your own garden.”可知,第一段主要讲述了待在自然空间有好处。由此可以判断,作者写第一段是为了引出本文的话题。故选A。
2.A 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“‘The mechanisms linking nature and health are very diverse,’ said Matthew H.E.M. Browning, the principal investigator on the study, ‘but the benefit is believed to be in part because being in green space can decrease stress, promote healthy behaviours and enable you to breathe fresh air.’”可知,Matthew H.E.M. Browning解释了身处自然环境有益于健康是因为身处自然环境有助于解压、促进健康行为并让你呼吸新鲜空气。故选A。
3.C 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers hope their findings will support public policies that prioritize(优先考虑) natural elements in residential areas.

have sth done
句型公式
【句式点拨】
句中had his dinner interrupted是“have+宾语+宾语补足语”的结构,have 用作使役动词,his dinner与动词interrupt之间为逻辑上的被动关系,故用过去分词作宾补。
【相关拓展】
(1)have/get sth done使某事被做(可能是主语自己做,也可能是让别人做);遭遇或经历某种不幸的事情
(2)have sb do sth 让某人做某事(do强调做某事这一事实)
(3)have sb/sth doing sth让某人/某物一直做某事(doing强调持续进行某一动作;在否定句中意为“不允许做某事”)
[温馨提示] have sth to do意为“有某事要做”(have作“有”讲,不定式作后置定语)。

[2024·浙江湖州高二月考]
It’s not hard to be poetic about the broad and deep benefits of spending time in natural spaces,from amazing national parks to the simple loveliness of a walk around a city park or tree-lined neighbourhood street, and some time working in the dirt of your own garden.
A new study from researchers at Clemson University has found another benefit to simply putting your body in a natural space: it can lower the amount of money you spend on health care.
“The mechanisms linking nature and health are very diverse,” said Matthew H.E.M. Browning, the principal investigator on the study, “but the benefit is believed to be in part because being in green space can decrease stress, promote healthy behaviours and enable you to breathe fresh air.”
Browning and his team used satellite data to investigate how much green space was within 250,500 and 1,000 metres(820,1,640,and 3,280 feet) of five million northern California residents who were insured by Kaiser Permanente. They then determined the costs the insurance company paid out to those same members over a two-year period. They took into account age,gender,race and a number of neighbourhood characteristics including population density and education levels.
Even with all these factors included into their analysis, the researchers found that those who lived near the most green space had an average of $374 less per year in health care expenses compared to those who lived farther from natural spaces.
The researchers hope their findings will support public policies that prioritize(优先考虑) natural elements in residential areas. For you, maybe this learning will inspire you to plant a tree or a potted flower today or create a beautiful garden to enjoy, with a view of some health-giving, green goodness.

C.How residential green space improves air quality.
D.The benefit of walking in a natural space is obvious.
( )3.What do the researchers expect of their findings
A.They can encourage further relevant research.
B.They can delight current insurance companies.
C.They can boost the establishment of green space.
D.They can remind us to purchase more insurance.
( )4.What can be the most suitable title for the text

Ⅴ阅读理解
[2024·浙江湖州高二月考]
It's not hard to be poetic about the broad and deep benefits
of spending time in natural spaces,from amazing national parks to
the simple loveliness of a walk around a city park or tree-lined
neighbourhood street, and some time working in the dirt of your
own garden.
1

A new study from researchers at Clemson University has found
another benefit to simply putting your body in a natural space: it
can lower the amount of money you spend on health care.
“The mechanisms linking nature and health are very diverse,”
said Matthew H.E.M. Browning, the principal investigator on the
study, “but the benefit is believed to be in part because being in
green space can decrease stress, promote healthy behaviours and
enable you to breathe fresh air.”
1

Browning and his team used satellite data to investigate how
much green space was within 250,500 and 1,000 metres (820,1,640,
and 3,280 feet) of five million northern California residents who
were insured by Kaiser Permanente. They then determined the costs
the insurance company paid out to those same members over a
two-year period. They took into account age,gender,race and a
number of neighbourhood characteristics including population
density and education levels.
1

4
Even with all these factors included into their analysis, the
researchers found that those who lived near the most green space
had an average of $374 less per year in health care expenses
compared to those who lived farther from natural spaces.
The researchers hope their findings will support public policies
that prioritize(优先考虑) natural elements in residential areas. For
you, maybe this learning will inspire you to plant a tree or a
potted flower today or create a beautiful garden to enjoy, with a
view of some health-giving, green goodness.

Clemson University has found another benefit to simply putting
your body in a natural space: it can lower the amount of money
you spend on health care.”以及第五段“Even with all these factors
included into their analysis, the researchers found that those who
lived near the most green space had an average of $374 less per
year in health care expenses compared to those who lived farther
from natural spaces.”可知，本文主要介绍了一项新的研究发现人们处于自
然环境中可以减少医疗保健的费用。所以“Being in nature reduces
health care cost(身处大自然可以降低保健成本)”作为文章标题最为合适。
