C
Hw ften is yur mind quiet? If yu’re a typical human being, the answer is prbably very rarely. Fr mst f ur days, ur attentin is fcused n external things—the tasks f ur jbs, TV prgrams, r scial media interactins. In the mments when ur attentin isn’t fcused externally, it’s usually fcused n what is called “thught-chatter”—a stream f mental assciatins cnsisting f expectatins f the future, memries, daydreams, and s n.
But frm time t time, we all experience mments when ur thught-chatter quiets dwn, r even disappears altgether. In these mments, we experience a sense f great well-being. We feel a sense f inner harmny. We feel as if we’re free f prblems, and feel satisfied with ur lives as they are.
There are many activities that have the effect f quieting ur minds, and s prduce a state f well-being.
Fr example, think abut what happens when yu g walking in the cuntryside. Yu might feel stressed when yu start ut, but slwly, after a cuple f miles, yur mind begins t settle dwn. The beauty and stillness f nature attracts yur attentin and yu’re n lnger in yur thught-chatter. By the end f the walk yu feel almst like a different persn. Yu feel mre alive, and much happier—largely because yur mind is nw quiet.
This is why peple lve t lk at beautiful wrks f art. When peple see the paintings f Mnet r van Ggh, they experience a mind-stpping mment, in which they’re taken ut f their thinking minds and experience a sense f great well-being.
The strange thing is, thugh, that mst f the time this happens uncnsciusly (不知不觉地). We usually dn’t assciate this well-being with a quiet mind. And we usually dn’t think f a quiet mind as the aim r result f these activities.
Our estimate f hw enjyable an activity is may depend n its mind-stpping capacity. In ther wrds, the very best perfrmances—and the mst rewarding activities—are thse which are s attractive and intense that they can cmpletely stp ur minds.
I’m nt saying that inner quietness is the nly reasn why we enjy these activities. Nevertheless, we shuld certainly becme mre aware f the assciatin f a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we shuld be aware that it’s pssible fr us t cnsciusly and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byprduct f certain activities. And in the end we might develp a permanent quiet mind and attain a state f nging cntentment and harmny.
28. What can be inferred abut thught-chatter?
A. It requires a lt f practice.
B. It might be unpleasant at times.
C. It might be a talk with a friend.
D. It helps reach a state f silence.
29. What are the examples f activities mentined in the text mainly abut?
A. What activities lead t well-being.
B. What can be dne t reduce stress.
C. Hw we can make ur minds quiet.
D. Hw mental quietness leads t well-being.
30. Hw can we determine hw much pleasure an activity can give us?
A. By judging hw much stress it can increase.
B. By judging whether it takes place uncnsciusly.
C. By judging t what extent it can quiet ur minds.
D. By judging whether it assciates with well-being.
31. What des the authr intend t highlight in the last paragraph?
A. Creating a quiet mind fr all time.
B. Living a peaceful life permanently.
C. Being in harmny with inner quietness.
D. Participating in activities fr inner quietness.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了内心宁静与心理健康的关系，指出通过欣赏艺术和在自然中行走等活动，可以使思维静止，带来幸福感和内心和谐，并提出有意识地创造宁静心境可以带来持久的满足感。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“But frm time t time, we all experience mments when ur thught-chatter quiets dwn, r even disappears altgether. In these mments, we experience a sense f great well-being. We feel a sense f inner harmny. We feel as if we’re free f prblems, and feel satisfied with ur lives as they are. (但时不时地，我们都会经历这样的时刻：我们的“思想闲聊”安静下来，甚至完全消失。在这些时刻，我们体验到一种巨大的幸福感。我们感受到内心的和谐。我们觉得好像没有问题了，对我们的生活感到满意。)”可知，“思想闲聊”停下来时人们会感到快乐，因此它的发生有时可能会令人不愉快。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Fr example, think abut what happens when yu-g walking in the cuntryside. Yu might feel stressed when yu start ut, but slwly, after-a cuple f miles, yur mind begins t settle dwn. The beauty and stillness f nature attracts yur attentin and yu’re n lnger in yur thught-chatter. By the end f the walk yu feel almst like a different persn. Yu feel mre alive, and much happier—largely because yur mind is nw quiet. (例如，想想当你在农村散步时会发生什么。刚开始的时候你可能会感到压力，但慢慢地，几英里后，你的头脑开始安定下来。大自然的美丽和宁静吸引了你的注意力，你不再“思想闲聊”。散步结束时，你几乎感觉自己变成了另一个人。你感觉更有活力，也更快乐——主要是因为你的头脑现在很安静。) ”可知，文中提到了在乡村散步和观看艺术作品等活动可以让心灵平静下来，并带来幸福感。因此，提到这些例子主要是为了说明心灵的平静是怎样带来幸福感的。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Our estimate f hw enjyable an activity is may depend n its mind-stpping capacity. In ther wrds, the very best perfrmances—and the mst rewarding activities—are thse which are s attractive and intense that they can cmpletely stp ur minds. (我们对一项活动有多愉快的估计可能取决于它让人停止思考的能力。换句话说，最好的表现和最有回报的活动是那些非常有吸引力和激烈的，它们可以完全停止我们的思想。)”可知，那些可以完全让我们停止思考的活动被认为是非常愉快和有益的，因此，我们对一项活动的享受取决于它在多大程度上能让我们的头脑平静下来。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I’m nt saying that inner quietness is the nly reasn why we enjy these activities. Nevertheless, we shuld certainly becme mre aware f the assciatin f a quiet mind with well-being. And at the same time we shuld be aware that it’s pssible fr us t cnsciusly and directly create a quiet mind; rather than as a byprduct f certain activities. And in the end we might develp a permanent quiet mind and attain a state f nging cntentment and harmny. (我并不是说内心的平静是我们喜欢这些活动的唯一原因。然而，我们当然应该更加意识到安静的头脑与幸福的联系。同时，我们应该意识到，我们有可能有意识地直接创造一个平静的头脑；而不是作为某些活动的副产品。最终，我们可能会发展出一种永久的平静心态，达到一种持续的满足与和谐的状态。)”可知，作者强调要更多地意识到安静的心灵和幸福之间的联系，要有意识地直接创造一个安静的头脑，潜在地带来持续的满足和和谐，而不仅仅是参与活动。故选A。
D
Using hypdermic needles t deliver drugs has been cmmn fr mre than a century. The past hundred years have seen all manner f medical advances, yet the needle has stayed mstly unchanged. Althugh nw available in a variety f different sizes, it remains a hllw (中空的), pinty tube. With luck, that may sn change.

The pint f a msquit’s muthparts is serrated (锯齿状的)and sfter at its tip. The insect stretches the skin f its target befre biting, and shakes its muthparts quickly as it pushes it in. All f this helps t reduce the frce needed t puncture the skin. One paper, published in 2020 by a grup f researchers in America and China, fund that a msquit-inspired needle required 27% less frce than an rdinary ne. And less puncture frce means less pain.
Msquit-inspired needles might als be useful fr delicate prcedures such as bipsies (活组织检查). A paper frm the University f Michigan, als published in 2020, fund that the lwer puncture frce led t less mvement f the sampling area, ensuring that the needles were guided accurately t the area, rather than missing the target.
Fr nw, such devices remain restricted t labs. But there is a big market fr better needles. Accrding t the Wrld Health Organizatin, arund 16bn injectins were given in 2018. With ne persn in fur saying they suffer frm trypanphbia, r a fear f needles, the savings n stickers and sweets fr the brave suls wh rll up their sleeves wuld be cnsiderable.
32. Which cntributes t msquites’ getting bld withut causing pain?
A. The sund they make befre biting.
B. The special shape f their muthparts.
C. The high speed f their actin.
D. The small size f their muthparts.
33. What can we learn abut the msquit-inspired needles frm the text?
A. They have been put n the market.
B. They required mre puncture frce than the rdinary nes.
C. It’s easier fr them t get thrugh the skin.
D. The lwer puncture frce may cause them t miss the target.
34. What is the authr’s attitude twards the msquit-inspired needles?
A. Unclear.B. Tlerant.C. Dubtful.D. Psitive.
35. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. The painless needles inspired by nature.
