After a morning hike in the Saneum HealingForest,46-year-old firefighter Kang Byoung-wook has tea made from the bark of an elm tree, practices yoga (瑜伽),and makes a picture with dried flowers. He is one of 40 firefighters taking part in a three-day program, the aim of which is to offer“forest healing" (森林治愈);the firefighters all have posttraumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍).
Saneum is one of three official healing forests in South Korea. Soon there will be 34 more. South Koreans-many of whom suffer from work stress, digital addiction, and great academic pressure have accepted the medicalization of nature with great enthusiasm.
There is increasing evidence that being outside in a pleasant natural environment is good for us. But how many of us get to enjoy nature regularly? Fewer and fewer, it seems. According to Lisa Nisbet, a psychology professor at Canada s Trent University, evidence for the benefits of nature is pouring in at a time when we are most disconnected from it.
"We don't think of being outdoors as a way to increase happiness," says Nisbet."We think other things will, like shopping or TV." But South Korea is starting to challenge this opinion.
So what are some of the benefits of nature that Nisbet refers to? Being surrounded by nature has one obvious effect: It calms us and reduces our stress levels. This has been shown to lower blood pressure and heart rates.
Another experiment conducted by psychologist Stephen Kaplan found that people who took a 50-minute walk in a park had better attention and short-term memory than those who took a walk along a city street.
Perhaps what's more surprising is that nature may also make us more creative. David Strayer, a psychologist at the University of Utah, showed as much with a group of participants, who performed 50 percent better on creative problem-solving tasks after three days of wilderness backpacking.
In fact, we may never know exactly what nature does to the brain. Something mysterious will always remain, and maybe that's as it should be.
（1）What is Kang Byoung-wook doing?
A.Getting lost in nature.
B.Building up his strength.
C.Trying to control a forest fire.
D.Helping firefighters under stress.
（2）What does Lisa Nisbet think of being outdoors?
A.It is overlooked by people.
B.It has nothing to do with happiness.
C.South Koreans show great interest in it.
D.We need more evidence for its benefits.
（3）What benefit of nature did Stephen Kaplan find?
A.It affects people's feelings.
B.It lowers the risks of diseases.
C.It helps improve mental performance.
D.It does more good than physical exercise.
（4）What would be the best title for the text?
A.Your life in forests
B.Your brain on nature
C.The future of forest healing
D.The benefits of a stress-free life

Are people happier in nature with blue skies overhead and fresh green grass underfoot? Could noisy streets, crowded with cars and people, make us unhappy?
The possible mental health problems of city living affect a lot of people. The World Health Organization estimates(估计)that 56 percent of the world's population lived in urban areas in 2019. The WHO adds that that amount will increase to 66 percent by 2050. People often move to cities for better jobs and more cultural activities. But are they putting themselves at risk? Maybe. Experts at the American Psychiatry Association say that “natural environments or green spaces” do much good to our mental health.
Many studies have shown that nature can calm us and make us feel happy. Nature, experts say, can also help us learn better. And experiencing nature helps people recover from the mental tiredness that comes from day-to-day work. On the other hand, mental health experts say some research suggests that city living might hurt our mental health. But they cannot say exactly why.
What are the specific aspects of the urban environment which causes some people to develop mental illness? Andrea Mechelli, a doctor at Kings College, London, states, "There have been studies where people were literally taken out of an urban environment into a rural (乡村的) environment and their symptoms would improve. And we also see that the greater the city is, the greater the risk is." Mechelli say that someone who lives in a city is three times more likely to develop psychological problem than someone living in the country.
Kings College researchers, along with city planners, land and building designers and others wanted to learn more about city living and mental illness. So, they created a smartphone app called Urban Mind. They say they wanted to understand how different parts of the urban environment affect mental wellbeing(健康).
The researchers found that being outdoors, seeing trees, hearing birdsong, seeing the sky, and feeling in contact with nature were associated with higher levels of mental well-being. They also found that these seeming effects of nature were especially strong in those individuals at greater risk of mental health problems. The Urban Mind Project team says it hopes “the results will inform future urban planning and social policy aimed at improving design and health.”
（1）Why is the question raised in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the topic of the text.
B.To show the background of the text.
C.To ask the readers to learn the study.
D.To raise the readers' interest in happiness.
（2）What does Mechelli find during his study?
A.People are attracted by the blue skies and green grass.
B.People are more content with their city life.
C.More and more people are interested in taking risks in cities,
D.City people are more likely to develop mental problems than country people.
（3）What is expected of the Urban Mind research result?
A.More people will choose to live in the countryside.
B.It will bring more concern about people s mental health.
C.It will contribute to future urban planning and social policies.
D.People will be helped to improve their mental illness.
（4）What is the main idea of the text?
A.Urban Mind measures the level of mental wellbeing.
B.City living may be harmful to people's mental health.
C.Living in the countryside is better than in the city.
D.Different scientists hold different opinions on the effects of city living.

四、任务型阅读
Zoey admits it was a little sad saying goodbye to her fish. 1. Zoey's class at Hawthorne Elementary School spent most of the school year raising the fish from the time when they were nothing more than little eggs with eyes.
The program the Hawthorne kids took part in is called "Trout in the classroom". 2. The kids at Wilson Middle School in Fishersville took part in the project, too.
"I got to feed them every morning and watch them grow up," said seventh-grader Lauren Clayton. "We have to protect them, or some of the fish could go extinct." Lauren was right. 3. But later, pollution, overfishing and loss of natural habitat have pushed some species to the danger of extinction.
Thanks to the kids in the program, trout are being reintroduced into rivers and streams across the country. And by doing that, the kids are helping to restore the local ecosystems—the natural balance that existed before humans disturbed it.
4. Because the fish are in their classrooms, the kids are responsible for making sure there is cool, clean water, proper food and proper living conditions in the tanks.
By the middle of May, they were "as big as a finger". That is, they are old enough to be released into Oneida Creek. "Remember to swim back here to meet us and eat the food we bring, little trout."5.
A. The kids can learn some scientific lessons at school.
B. Make sure when a warm lands on the surface, never bite.
C. Finally, Zoey read them goodbye letters before letting them go.
D. They can also see how our actions affect the trout's ability to survive.
E. But she honestly thinks it's good that they are going to a natural home.
F. It's a national project supported by a conservation group called "Trout Unlimited".
G. When America was first founded, rivers and streams across the continent were filled with fish.

（4）考查副词。句意：的确，与自然世界的联系无疑能振奋我们的精神。此处是副词作状语修饰位于动词lifts。故填definitely。
（5）考查介词。句意：相反，它只是发展了一个人与自然的关系。分析句子可知，此处表示人与自然的关系。故填with。
（6）考查非谓语动词。句意：这种自然疗法可以有多种形式，比如在森林里做瑜伽、园艺，甚至拥抱一棵树。hugging a tree与doing yoga in a forest, gardening 是并列关系，都是举例的一部分。故填hugging。

After a morning hike in the Saneum HealingForest,46-year-old firefighter Kang Byoung-wook has tea made from the bark of an elm tree, practices yoga (瑜伽),and makes a picture with dried flowers. He is one of 40 firefighters taking part in a three-day program, the aim of which is to offer“forest healing" (森林治愈);the firefighters all have posttraumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍).
Saneum is one of three official healing forests in South Korea. Soon there will be 34 more. South Koreans-many of whom suffer from work stress, digital addiction, and great academic pressure have accepted the medicalization of nature with great enthusiasm.
There is increasing evidence that being outside in a pleasant natural environment is good for us. But how many of us get to enjoy nature regularly? Fewer and fewer, it seems. According to Lisa Nisbet, a psychology professor at Canada s Trent University, evidence for the benefits of nature is pouring in at a time when we are most disconnected from it.
"We don't think of being outdoors as a way to increase happiness," says Nisbet."We think other things will, like shopping or TV." But South Korea is starting to challenge this opinion.
So what are some of the benefits of nature that Nisbet refers to? Being surrounded by nature has one obvious effect: It calms us and reduces our stress levels. This has been shown to lower blood pressure and heart rates.
Another experiment conducted by psychologist Stephen Kaplan found that people who took a 50-minute walk in a park had better attention and short-term memory than those who took a walk along a city street.
Perhaps what's more surprising is that nature may also make us more creative. David Strayer, a psychologist at the University of Utah, showed as much with a group of participants, who performed 50 percent better on creative problem-solving tasks after three days of wilderness backpacking.
In fact, we may never know exactly what nature does to the brain. Something mysterious will always remain, and maybe that's as it should be.
（1）What is Kang Byoung-wook doing?
A.Getting lost in nature.
B.Building up his strength.
C.Trying to control a forest fire.
D.Helping firefighters under stress.
（2）What does Lisa Nisbet think of being outdoors?
A.It is overlooked by people.
B.It has nothing to do with happiness.
C.South Koreans show great interest in it.
D.We need more evidence for its benefits.
（3）What benefit of nature did Stephen Kaplan find?
A.It affects people's feelings.
B.It lowers the risks of diseases.
C.It helps improve mental performance.
D.It does more good than physical exercise.
（4）What would be the best title for the text?
A.Your life in forests
B.Your brain on nature
C.The future of forest healing
D.The benefits of a stress-free life

Are people happier in nature with blue skies overhead and fresh green grass underfoot? Could noisy streets, crowded with cars and people, make us unhappy?
The possible mental health problems of city living affect a lot of people. The World Health Organization estimates(估计)that 56 percent of the world's population lived in urban areas in 2019. The WHO adds that that amount will increase to 66 percent by 2050. People often move to cities for better jobs and more cultural activities. But are they putting themselves at risk? Maybe. Experts at the American Psychiatry Association say that “natural environments or green spaces” do much good to our mental health.
Many studies have shown that nature can calm us and make us feel happy. Nature, experts say, can also help us learn better. And experiencing nature helps people recover from the mental tiredness that comes from day-to-day work. On the other hand, mental health experts say some research suggests that city living might hurt our mental health. But they cannot say exactly why.
What are the specific aspects of the urban environment which causes some people to develop mental illness? Andrea Mechelli, a doctor at Kings College, London, states, "There have been studies where people were literally taken out of an urban environment into a rural (乡村的) environment and their symptoms would improve. And we also see that the greater the city is, the greater the risk is." Mechelli say that someone who lives in a city is three times more likely to develop psychological problem than someone living in the country.
Kings College researchers, along with city planners, land and building designers and others wanted to learn more about city living and mental illness. So, they created a smartphone app called Urban Mind. They say they wanted to understand how different parts of the urban environment affect mental wellbeing(健康).
The researchers found that being outdoors, seeing trees, hearing birdsong, seeing the sky, and feeling in contact with nature were associated with higher levels of mental well-being. They also found that these seeming effects of nature were especially strong in those individuals at greater risk of mental health problems. The Urban Mind Project team says it hopes “the results will inform future urban planning and social policy aimed at improving design and health.”
（1）Why is the question raised in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce the topic of the text.
B.To show the background of the text.
C.To ask the readers to learn the study.
D.To raise the readers' interest in happiness.
（2）What does Mechelli find during his study?
A.People are attracted by the blue skies and green grass.
B.People are more content with their city life.
C.More and more people are interested in taking risks in cities,
D.City people are more likely to develop mental problems than country people.
（3）What is expected of the Urban Mind research result?
A.More people will choose to live in the countryside.
B.It will bring more concern about people s mental health.
C.It will contribute to future urban planning and social policies.
D.People will be helped to improve their mental illness.
（4）What is the main idea of the text?
A.Urban Mind measures the level of mental wellbeing.
B.City living may be harmful to people's mental health.
C.Living in the countryside is better than in the city.
D.Different scientists hold different opinions on the effects of city living.

四、任务型阅读
Zoey admits it was a little sad saying goodbye to her fish. 1. Zoey's class at Hawthorne Elementary School spent most of the school year raising the fish from the time when they were nothing more than little eggs with eyes.
The program the Hawthorne kids took part in is called "Trout in the classroom". 2. The kids at Wilson Middle School in Fishersville took part in the project, too.
"I got to feed them every morning and watch them grow up," said seventh-grader Lauren Clayton. "We have to protect them, or some of the fish could go extinct." Lauren was right. 3. But later, pollution, overfishing and loss of natural habitat have pushed some species to the danger of extinction.
Thanks to the kids in the program, trout are being reintroduced into rivers and streams across the country. And by doing that, the kids are helping to restore the local ecosystems—the natural balance that existed before humans disturbed it.
4. Because the fish are in their classrooms, the kids are responsible for making sure there is cool, clean water, proper food and proper living conditions in the tanks.
By the middle of May, they were "as big as a finger". That is, they are old enough to be released into Oneida Creek. "Remember to swim back here to meet us and eat the food we bring, little trout."5.
A. The kids can learn some scientific lessons at school.
B. Make sure when a warm lands on the surface, never bite.
C. Finally, Zoey read them goodbye letters before letting them go.
D. They can also see how our actions affect the trout's ability to survive.
E. But she honestly thinks it's good that they are going to a natural home.
F. It's a national project supported by a conservation group called "Trout Unlimited".
G. When America was first founded, rivers and streams across the continent were filled with fish.
