Cnfessins (自白) f an Annying Msquit
If yu’re reading my cnfessins, cngratulatins! Yu’ll have a safe and healthy summer.
We lve when yu wrk up a sweat. It’s really the carbn dixide yu breathe ut that makes us directly t yu, nt the fragrance f yur “sweet bld”.
Lve beer? S d sme f us. We can tell when yu drink beer because yur skin chemistry changes, which attracts us.
Pregnant? Delicius. If yu’re having a baby, yu breathe ut mre carbn dixide and yur belly has a higher temperature, drawing sme f us right t yu.
Hate getting bitten up? Blame the ladies. Males d nt eat human bld: They get all their nutritin frm plants. After we have a bld meal, we can lay anywhere frm 100 t 400 eggs.
Smelly feet are simply delicius. Scientists have shwn we find yur tes ten times mre inviting than Limburger cheese.
If yur hme’s landscaping is well tended, we wn’t like it as much. We like t hang ut in thick, vergrwn vegetatin. The darker and mre damp, the better. And puddles (水沟) f smelly water is where we like t lay ur eggs.
Gt thse CO2-emitting traps in yur yard? Great! Yu may think yu’re utsmarting us with these devices, which emit (散发) carbn dixide t draw us int a trap. But they may attract mre f us than they are able t trap, increasing ur presence in yur yard.
When it cmes t West Nile, end-f-summer bites may d mre harm. It’s simple lgic: We bite birds with West Nile virus; then we bite humans and spread it. By summer’s end, we’ve had mre chances t bite infected birds.

When I was yung, my dad wuld always play music in the huse. I’d dance t Vivaldi’s The Fur Seasns. Whenever he played Tritsch-Tratsch Plka, I’d grab my skipping rpes and skip t the beat. I’d request Beethven’s Mnlight Snata when I was getting ready fr bed. Listening t classical music was part f my daily rutine. I eventually learned hw t play the pian.
After I had my wn daughter, I was excited t intrduce her t classical music. Hwever, this excitement sn led t disappintment as n matter what piece I chse, she wuld nt listen.
Then ne day in Octber, everything changed. My daughter came hme and annunced, “I want t dress up as a bumblebee（大黄蜂）fr Hallween. Can yu make me a cstume, Mm?” Of curse, I agreed t sew her a bumblebee cstume. But at the same time, the bumblebee gave me an idea.
I wrked all week n the cstume. On Hallween night, my daughter put the cstume n and lked in the mirrr. Her eyes lit up.
She began making buzzing nises（嗡嗡声）— and I was ready. “Can yu fly like a bumblebee?” I asked. As she began t buzz arund the rm, I quickly started playing Flight f the Bumblebee.
As the fast-paced vilin music began, my daughter buzzed arund t the music. She never stpped mving.
When the music came t its final bars, my daughter shuted, “Play it again, Mm!” S I played it again.
Since that night, classical music has becme mre prevalent (普遍的) in ur husehld. Eventually, she learned hw t play the vilin and guitar.

In nline meetings, it’s easy t keep peple frm talking ver each ther. Smene just hits the mute buttn (静音键). But this ability desn’t translate easily t recrding in-persn meetings.
The ability t lcate and manage sund — separating ne persn talking frm a specific lcatin in a crwded rm, fr example — has challenged researchers, especially withut the help f cameras.
A team at the University f Washingtn has develped a shape-changing smart speaker, which can divide rms int speech areas and track the psitins f individual speakers. With the help f the team’s deep-learning AI mdel, the system lets users mute certain areas r separate cnversatins happening at the same time. In a rm meeting, such a system might be used, allwing better cntrl f in-rm sund.
“If I clse my eyes and there are 10 peple talking in a rm, I dn’t knw wh’s saying what and where they are in the rm exactly. That’s intractable fr the human brain. Until nw, it’s als been tugh fr technlgy,” said c-lead authr Malek Itani. “Firstly, we’re able t track the psitins f different peple talking in a rm and separate their speech.” Early research has required using verhead cameras, prjectrs r special surfaces. The new system is the first t use nly sund.
Instead f prcessing the sund in the clud, the new system prcesses all the sund lcally. Even thugh sme peple’s first thughts may be abut surveillance (监视), the system can be used fr the ppsite.
“It can actually benefit privacy, beynd what current smart speakers allw,” Itani said. “I can say ‘Dn’t recrd anything arund my desk!’ and ur system will create a bubble (气泡) 3 feet arund me. Nthing in this bubble wuld be recrded.”
28. What did the research team fcus n?
A. Allwing real-time cmmunicatin by AI.
B. Develping AI-pwered language mdels.
C. Lwering the backgrund nise f cnversatins.
D. Tracking and cntrlling sund in crwded settings.
29. What des the underlined wrd “intractable” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Difficult.B. Natural.
C. Dangerus.D. Necessary.
30. Which f the fllwing can best describe the new system?
A. Pineering.B. Influential.
C. Educatinal.D. Cstly.
31. What is the advantage f the new system accrding t Itani?
A. It recrds nearby cnversatins.
B. It ffers imprved privacy prtectin.
C. It lwers the nise in a particular space.
D. It includes simultaneus translatin service.

If there was an app claiming t imprve yur memry, wuld yu be willing t try it? It’s hard t resist the idea f having a better memry.
In respnse t this perceived need, the brain training industry has grwn rapidly, ffering a wide range f accessible and affrdable mental exercises thrugh smartphne and tablet apps. Many researchers have fund evidence suggesting that well-designed exercises can imprve mental abilities and lead t better scres n IQ tests. They cmpare the brain t muscles, suggesting that targeted repetitin f memry exercises can strengthen and cnditin ur memry prcesses, similar t hw athletes engage in strength and cnditining by repeatedly exercising specific muscle grups.
In cntrast t everyday activities like slving a cmplex puzzle, memry training apps are specifically designed t prvide a mre challenging wrkut fr the brain. These apps typically invlve tasks that require tracking a large number f bjects while being distracted (使分心) by a secndary task, such as mental calculatins r explring a game’s landscape. If this brain training prves effective, it culd be beneficial fr individuals with brain-related disabilities r thse recvering frm cnditins like cancer.
Critics, thugh, argue that while the cncept is appealing, the verall evidence fails t demnstrate significant imprvement in cre brain prcesses. Additinally, despite the claims made by many apps and brain training cmpanies, scientists have yet t identify the key factrs that make an interventin truly effective r determine the best appraches t address the diverse needs f individuals seeking help.
While the questin is still pen t debate, there is evidence suggesting that shrt-term wrking memry training can benefit high-functining individuals. Hwever, it’s imprtant t nte that brain training, like diet and exercise, is unlikely t have identical effects n every individual.
32. In what way is the brain similar t muscles accrding t many researchers?
A. In testing results. B. In wrk prcesses.
C. In bdily functins. D. In training methds.
33. What is the main feature f the typical tasks in memry training apps?
A. Simple. B. Effective.
C. Demanding. D. Interesting.
34. What d critics think memry training apps lack?
A. Legal claims. B. Prven effects.
C. Tailred services. D. Appealing cncepts
35. What can be the suitable title fr the text?
A. Can Our Memry be Imprved?
B. Des Brain Training Actually Wrk?
C. What have Scientists Fund abut Memry?
D. What des the Brain Training Industry Bring?

We have all heard the expressin: “Remember t stp and smell the rses.” But, hw ften d we really take time ut f ur busy fast-paced life t ntice the wrld arund us? I have reflected back n ne situatin many times since it happened and have learned several pwerful lessns frm it.
I am as guilty as anyne f ignring the wrld arund in this manner, especially when I am driving n Califrnia’s vercrwded streets. A shrt time ag, hwever, I witnessed an event that shwed me hw being wrapped up in my wn little wrld has kept me frm being fully aware f the bigger wrld picture arund me.
I was driving t a business appintment and, as usual, I was planning in my mind what I was ging t say. I came t a very busy crssrads where the traffic light had just turned red. “All right,” I thught t myself. “I can beat the next light if I race ahead f the cars.” My mind and car were in aut pilt (自动驾驶), ready t g when suddenly my absent-minded state was brken by an unfrgettable sight.
A yung cuple, bth blind, was walking arm-in-arm acrss this busy crssrads with cars whizzing (嗖嗖掠过) by in every directin. The man was hlding the hand f a little by, while the wman, bviusly was hlding a child tightly in her arms.
Each f them had a white walking stick extended, searching fr clues t guide them acrss the crssrads.
Initially I was mved. They were vercming what I felt was ne f the mst feared disabilities — blindness. Suddenly, hrrr seized me. The cuple were nt walking in the crsswalk, but was turning directly twards the middle f the crssrads. Withut realizing the danger they were in, they were walking right the path f ncming cars. I was frightened fr them because I didn’t knw if the ther drivers understd what was happening.
Hwever, as I watched frm the frnt line f traffic, I saw a miracle unfld befre my eyes.

【导语】本文是应用文，主要通过一只令人讨厌的蚊子的风趣幽默的自白，列举了蚊子喜欢咬谁，喜欢出没的地方等。
21．细节理解题。根据第五段“Hate getting bitten up? Blame the ladies. Males d nt eat human bld: They get all their nutritin frm plants. After we have a bld meal, we can lay anywhere frm 100 t 400 eggs. (讨厌被咬？怪雌性们。雄性不吃人的血：它们所有的营养都来自植物。我们吃了一餐血后，可以在任何地方产100到400个卵)”可知，句中“我们”指代的是雌性的蚊子，即进行自白的蚊子是雌性的，故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据第二段“We lve when yu wrk up a sweat. It’s really the carbn dixide yu breathe ut that makes us directly t yu, nt the fragrance f yur “sweet bld”. (我们喜欢你汗流浃背的时候。真正让我们直奔你的是你呼出的二氧化碳，而不是你“甜美血液”的香味。)”、第四段“Pregnant? Delicius. If yu’re having a baby, yu breathe ut mre carbn dixide and yur belly has a higher temperature, drawing sme f us right t yu. (怀孕了？好吃。如果你要生孩子，你会排放更多的二氧化碳，你的肚子温度也会更高，这会吸引我们中的一些。)”、第七段“We like t hang ut in thick, vergrwn vegetatin. The darker and mre damp, the better. And puddles (水沟) f smelly water is where we like t lay ur eggs. (我们喜欢在茂密、杂草丛生的植被中闲逛。越黑越潮湿越好。臭水坑是我们喜欢产卵的地方。)”以及倒数第二段“Gt thse CO2-emitting traps in yur yard? Great! (你院子里有二氧化碳排放装置吗？太棒了！)”可知，一个怀孕的女人，一个刚慢跑完的男人和一所被臭气熏天的水坑包围的房子都更可能吸引“我们”，但是一个有散发氧气装置的院子并不会吸引蚊子，故选B。
23．推理判断题。根据第一段“If yu’re reading my cnfessins (自白), cngratulatins! Yu’ll have a safe and healthy summer. (如果你在读我的供词，祝贺你！你将度过一个安全健康的夏天。)”以及文章内容可知，本文以蚊子的口吻进行自白，风趣幽默，让人忍俊不禁，所以文章的语气是有趣的，故选A。

40．根据空前“Nt everyne believes that the green exercise is mre beneficial than wrking ut in a health club r gym.”并非所有人都认为绿色运动比在健身俱乐部或健身房锻炼更有益。可知，该段在介绍另一种观点，指出使用健身器材锻炼也有好处；以及空后“Meanwhile，…”说明使用健身器材有利于增强心肺功能。因此，空格处也是在讲述健身俱乐部或者健身房的优点，“G. Smepint ut that many health clubs are built t make full use f natural light.”“一些人指出，许多健身俱乐部都是为了充分利用自然光而建的。”符合语境，故选G。

Smelly feet are simply delicius. Scientists have shwn we find yur tes ten times mre inviting than Limburger cheese.

Gt thse CO2-emitting traps in yur yard? Great! Yu may think yu’re utsmarting us with these devices, which emit (散发) carbn dixide t draw us int a trap. But they may attract mre f us than they are able t trap, increasing ur presence in yur yard.
When it cmes t West Nile, end-f-summer bites may d mre harm. It’s simple lgic: We bite birds with West Nile virus; then we bite humans and spread it. By summer’s end, we’ve had mre chances t bite infected birds.

When I was yung, my dad wuld always play music in the huse. I’d dance t Vivaldi’s The Fur Seasns. Whenever he played Tritsch-Tratsch Plka, I’d grab my skipping rpes and skip t the beat. I’d request Beethven’s Mnlight Snata when I was getting ready fr bed. Listening t classical music was part f my daily rutine. I eventually learned hw t play the pian.
After I had my wn daughter, I was excited t intrduce her t classical music. Hwever, this excitement sn led t disappintment as n matter what piece I chse, she wuld nt listen.
Then ne day in Octber, everything changed. My daughter came hme and annunced, “I want t dress up as a bumblebee（大黄蜂）fr Hallween. Can yu make me a cstume, Mm?” Of curse, I agreed t sew her a bumblebee cstume. But at the same time, the bumblebee gave me an idea.
I wrked all week n the cstume. On Hallween night, my daughter put the cstume n and lked in the mirrr. Her eyes lit up.
She began making buzzing nises（嗡嗡声）— and I was ready. “Can yu fly like a bumblebee?” I asked. As she began t buzz arund the rm, I quickly started playing Flight f the Bumblebee.
As the fast-paced vilin music began, my daughter buzzed arund t the music. She never stpped mving.
When the music came t its final bars, my daughter shuted, “Play it again, Mm!” S I played it again.
Since that night, classical music has becme mre prevalent (普遍的) in ur husehld. Eventually, she learned hw t play the vilin and guitar.
I still have that cstume stred away in a special bx. I hpe t pass it n t my grandchildren ne day and see what happens.

In nline meetings, it’s easy t keep peple frm talking ver each ther. Smene just hits the mute buttn (静音键). But this ability desn’t translate easily t recrding in-persn meetings.
The ability t lcate and manage sund — separating ne persn talking frm a specific lcatin in a crwded rm, fr example — has challenged researchers, especially withut the help f cameras.
A team at the University f Washingtn has develped a shape-changing smart speaker, which can divide rms int speech areas and track the psitins f individual speakers. With the help f the team’s deep-learning AI mdel, the system lets users mute certain areas r separate cnversatins happening at the same time. In a rm meeting, such a system might be used, allwing better cntrl f in-rm sund.
“If I clse my eyes and there are 10 peple talking in a rm, I dn’t knw wh’s saying what and where they are in the rm exactly. That’s intractable fr the human brain. Until nw, it’s als been tugh fr technlgy,” said c-lead authr Malek Itani. “Firstly, we’re able t track the psitins f different peple talking in a rm and separate their speech.” Early research has required using verhead cameras, prjectrs r special surfaces. The new system is the first t use nly sund.
Instead f prcessing the sund in the clud, the new system prcesses all the sund lcally. Even thugh sme peple’s first thughts may be abut surveillance (监视), the system can be used fr the ppsite.
“It can actually benefit privacy, beynd what current smart speakers allw,” Itani said. “I can say ‘Dn’t recrd anything arund my desk!’ and ur system will create a bubble (气泡) 3 feet arund me. Nthing in this bubble wuld be recrded.”
28. What did the research team fcus n?
A. Allwing real-time cmmunicatin by AI.
B. Develping AI-pwered language mdels.
C. Lwering the backgrund nise f cnversatins.
D. Tracking and cntrlling sund in crwded settings.
29. What des the underlined wrd “intractable” in paragraph 4 mean?

If there was an app claiming t imprve yur memry, wuld yu be willing t try it? It’s hard t resist the idea f having a better memry.
In respnse t this perceived need, the brain training industry has grwn rapidly, ffering a wide range f accessible and affrdable mental exercises thrugh smartphne and tablet apps. Many researchers have fund evidence suggesting that well-designed exercises can imprve mental abilities and lead t better scres n IQ tests. They cmpare the brain t muscles, suggesting that targeted repetitin f memry exercises can strengthen and cnditin ur memry prcesses, similar t hw athletes engage in strength and cnditining by repeatedly exercising specific muscle grups.
In cntrast t everyday activities like slving a cmplex puzzle, memry training apps are specifically designed t prvide a mre challenging wrkut fr the brain. These apps typically invlve tasks that require tracking a large number f bjects while being distracted (使分心) by a secndary task, such as mental calculatins r explring a game’s landscape. If this brain training prves effective, it culd be beneficial fr individuals with brain-related disabilities r thse recvering frm cnditins like cancer.
Critics, thugh, argue that while the cncept is appealing, the verall evidence fails t demnstrate significant imprvement in cre brain prcesses. Additinally, despite the claims made by many apps and brain training cmpanies, scientists have yet t identify the key factrs that make an interventin truly effective r determine the best appraches t address the diverse needs f individuals seeking help.
While the questin is still pen t debate, there is evidence suggesting that shrt-term wrking memry training can benefit high-functining individuals. Hwever, it’s imprtant t nte that brain training, like diet and exercise, is unlikely t have identical effects n every individual.

A. In testing results. B. In wrk prcesses.

A yung cuple, bth blind, was walking arm-in-arm acrss this busy crssrads with cars whizzing (嗖嗖掠过) by in every directin. The man was hlding the hand f a little by, while the wman, bviusly was hlding a child tightly in her arms.
Each f them had a white walking stick extended, searching fr clues t guide them acrss the crssrads.
Initially I was mved. They were vercming what I felt was ne f the mst feared disabilities — blindness. Suddenly, hrrr seized me. The cuple were nt walking in the crsswalk, but was turning directly twards the middle f the crssrads. Withut realizing the danger they were in, they were walking right the path f ncming cars. I was frightened fr them because I didn’t knw if the ther drivers understd what was happening.
Hwever, as I watched frm the frnt line f traffic, I saw a miracle unfld befre my eyes.

【导语】本文是应用文，主要通过一只令人讨厌的蚊子的风趣幽默的自白，列举了蚊子喜欢咬谁，喜欢出没的地方等。
21．细节理解题。根据第五段“Hate getting bitten up? Blame the ladies. Males d nt eat human bld: They get all their nutritin frm plants. After we have a bld meal, we can lay anywhere frm 100 t 400 eggs. (讨厌被咬？怪雌性们。雄性不吃人的血：它们所有的营养都来自植物。我们吃了一餐血后，可以在任何地方产100到400个卵)”可知，句中“我们”指代的是雌性的蚊子，即进行自白的蚊子是雌性的，故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据第二段“We lve when yu wrk up a sweat. It’s really the carbn dixide yu breathe ut that makes us directly t yu, nt the fragrance f yur “sweet bld”. (我们喜欢你汗流浃背的时候。真正让我们直奔你的是你呼出的二氧化碳，而不是你“甜美血液”的香味。)”、第四段“Pregnant? Delicius. If yu’re having a baby, yu breathe ut mre carbn dixide and yur belly has a higher temperature, drawing sme f us right t yu. (怀孕了？好吃。如果你要生孩子，你会排放更多的二氧化碳，你的肚子温度也会更高，这会吸引我们中的一些。)”、第七段“We like t hang ut in thick, vergrwn vegetatin. The darker and mre damp, the better. And puddles (水沟) f smelly water is where we like t lay ur eggs. (我们喜欢在茂密、杂草丛生的植被中闲逛。越黑越潮湿越好。臭水坑是我们喜欢产卵的地方。)”以及倒数第二段“Gt thse CO2-emitting traps in yur yard? Great! (你院子里有二氧化碳排放装置吗？太棒了！)”可知，一个怀孕的女人，一个刚慢跑完的男人和一所被臭气熏天的水坑包围的房子都更可能吸引“我们”，但是一个有散发氧气装置的院子并不会吸引蚊子，故选B。
23．推理判断题。根据第一段“If yu’re reading my cnfessins (自白), cngratulatins! Yu’ll have a safe and healthy summer. (如果你在读我的供词，祝贺你！你将度过一个安全健康的夏天。)”以及文章内容可知，本文以蚊子的口吻进行自白，风趣幽默，让人忍俊不禁，所以文章的语气是有趣的，故选A。
B
主题语境：人与社会——艺术
【导语】本文是记叙文, 作者尝试让女儿喜欢上古典音乐，但却未果，没想到作者为女儿做的一件大黄蜂衣服反而带领她进入了古典音乐的殿堂。
24．推理判断题。第一段提到各种音乐作品是为了引出本段最后一句话“I eventually learned hw t play the pian，”即在这些古典音乐作品的影响下，作者爱上了音乐，并学会了弹奏钢琴。
25．理解文章结构题。根据第四、五段的内容可知，作者在女儿穿上大黄蜂衣服后，要求她模仿大黄蜂飞舞的样子，随即作者开始播放《野蜂飞舞》，后来女儿彻底被这首音乐作品打动，爱上了古典音乐。由此可知，作者在同意制作大黄蜂衣服时，突然得到了灵感，这个灵感就是关于再次设法向女儿介绍古典音乐。
26．推理判断题。根据第五段的内容可知，女儿在听了《野蜂飞舞》后，开始跟着音乐欢快地在房间里“飞”来“飞”去，并且要求作者反复播放这首音乐，由此可推知，女儿以满腔的热情聆听了这首音乐。
27．推理判断题。文章记述了作者通过一件大黄蜂的衣服让女儿喜欢上古典音乐的故事。在最后一段中，作者谈到将这件衣服保留下来，以后的某一天可以传给孙辈，看看会发生什么事情。由此可推知，作者保留这件服装是期待它日后继续发挥魔力，引领孙辈进入古典音乐的魅力殿堂。
C
主题语境：人与社会——科学与技术
【导语】本文是说明文，研究人员开发出了可以追踪和控制不同说话人声音的新系统。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段的内容和第三段中的“A team at the University f Washingtn has develped a shape-changing smart speaker, which can divide rms int speech areas and track the psitins f individual speakers.” 可知，该研究团队关注如何在嘈杂环境中追踪和控制不同说话人的声音。setting环境；背景。
29．词义猜测题。根据上文中的“I dn’t knw wh’s saying what and where they are in the rm exactly.”和下文中的“it’s als been tugh fr technlgy,”可知，对大脑来说，在嘈杂的环境中精准识别出不同说话人的说话内容和位置并不容易，因此可推知 intractable 意为“很难对付（或处理）的”。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Firstly, we’re able t track the psitins f different peple talking in a rm and separate their speech.”以及“The new system is the first t use nly sund.”可知，该系统为业内首创。pineering开拓性的；先驱性的。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段中Itani所说的话可知，Itani认为这一新系统可以有效保护说话人的隐私。
D
【导语】本文是议论文，文章对经过良好设计的大脑练习能够改善记忆力的有效性进行讨论。
32．细节理解题。根据第二段“They cmpare the brain t muscles, suggesting that targeted repetitin f memry exercises can strengthen and cnditin ur memry prcesses, similar t hw athletes engage in strength and cnditining by repeatedly exercising specific muscle grups.”可知，许多研究者认为大脑类似于肌肉，也可以通过重复的练习来得到加强和调节，即训练方法相似，故选D项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段“In cntrast t everyday activities like slving a cmplex puzzle, memry training apps are specifically designed t prvide a mre challenging wrkut fr the brain. These apps typically invlve tasks that require tracking a large number f bjects while being distracted by a secndary task, such as mental calculatins r explring a game’s landscape.”可知，记忆训练应用程序中典型任务的主要特点是具有挑战性，非常苛刻，故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段“Critics, thugh, argue that while the cncept is appealing, the verall evidence fails t demnstrate significant imprvement in cre brain prcesses. ”可知，批评者认为记忆训练应用程序缺乏经过证实的效果，故选B。
35．主旨大意题。通过全文可知，文章的话题是通过手机应用程序进行大脑训练可以提高记忆力，但批评者对这些应用程序的有效性表示怀疑。虽然证据显示短期记忆训练对高功能人群有益，但大脑训练并不是对每个人都有效，故B “大脑训练真的有效吗”契合文章主旨，最适合作为标题。
七选五
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的运动方式—— 绿色运动，不同于在使用健身房的健身设施，更强调与大自然的接触，表明其利弊。
36．根据开头介绍绿色运动不同于在健身房的锻炼，空格处承上启下，因此，应继续说明绿色运动与健身房运动的不同之处，选项E项“此外，它通常不使用健身房里常见的健身器材”符合文意，提到了“gym”，与上下文一致。
37．后文从两个方面举例说明了两种不同的绿色运动方式。因此，空格处总结性说明不同的人，对于什么是真正的绿色运动观点不同，D项“人们对什么是真正的绿色运动意见不一”符合文意。
38．根据后文表明什么样的锻炼会被视为绿色运动，由“Similarly”可知，空格处也是F介绍绿色运动的类型，F项“因此，在森林里骑自行车可以被称为一种绿色运动。”，且F项中的“can be called a type f green exercise”与后文中的“als be cnsidered a green exercise”结构一致，都是在介绍绿色运动的类型。
39．根据空前“The interactin with nature helps t lwer peples’ bld pressure, refresh their mind, and actually imprve their self-esteem.”与大自然的互动有助于降低人们的血压，更新他们的思维，并真正地提高他们的自尊。介绍了绿色运动对于身体、头脑和心理健康的优点，“A. Spirits are als believed t be psitively affected.”“人们认为，精神也会受到积极影响。”承接上文，符合语境，故选A。
40．根据空前“Nt everyne believes that the green exercise is mre beneficial than wrking ut in a health club r gym.”并非所有人都认为绿色运动比在健身俱乐部或健身房锻炼更有益。可知，该段在介绍另一种观点，指出使用健身器材锻炼也有好处；以及空后“Meanwhile，…”说明使用健身器材有利于增强心肺功能。因此，空格处也是在讲述健身俱乐部或者健身房的优点，“G.
