24、   How do you feel about nature? After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park? Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada's national parks is getting lower every year. And in countries such as the USA, only 10% teenagers can spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel this is a problem in the 2lst century.

As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example of this is the work of Dr. Matilda in Sweden. The doctor gave people a maths test. During the test, their heart rates（心率）were fast. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-vitual-reality（虚拟现实）room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people's in the other group.

The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed. Another god example of how nature is good for health comes from Canada. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city. In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks.

Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people's everyday life. In Dubai, for example, there are plans for a new shopping mall with a large garden so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. In Switzerland, "forest schools" are popular. Many children study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside.

And South Korea is another good example: it has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. So after building cities for so long, perhaps it's now time to start rebuilding nature.

【1】The writer starts the passage by __________.

A.telling stories B.comparing numbers

C.asking questions D.giving suggestions

【2】Which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A.In Switzerland, many children study in the forests and do lots of activities outside.

B.In South Korea, about 13 million people visit new forests near the cities every year.

C.In Dubai, a new shopping mall with a large garden has been built already.

D.In the USA, only 10% teenagers can spend time outside every day.

【3】We can infer from the passage that __________.

A.fewer and fewer Canadians will live near parks

B.people used to break the rule of nature to develop cities

C.the virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed

D.people's heart rates get quicker in a 3D-virtual-reality room

【4】If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

（①=Para. （自然段）1 ②-Para. 2③-Para. 3 ④=Para. 4 ⑤=Para. 5……）

A.①; ②; ③④⑤ B.①②; ③; ④⑤

C.①②; ③④; ⑤ D.①; ②③; ④⑤

26、Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.

Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life. ”

At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal (水晶).

【1】The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ________ for the father and the son.

A．hard

B．enjoyable

C．painful

D．comfortable

【2】Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the father’s words underlined in the second paragraph?

A．You will get all you need at the top of the mountain.

B．The sky is always as clear as crystal.

C．You can find life is full of nice things.

D．Never give up half-way.

【3】We can infer (推断) from the last paragraph that ________.

A．the writer was very successful in his life

B．the writer reached the top of the mountain

C．though the writer was young, he could understand his father

D．the writer used to stop half-way when he climbed the mountain

【4】The best title for the passage is ________.

A．Reaching the Top of the Mountain

B．Standing at the Top of the Mountain

C．Conversations between Father and Son

D．How to Get to the Top of the Mountain

27、After my memoir (自传) Becoming came out, I heard something similar from strangers, friends and family. They said, “I just can’t believe you remembered that much.” In fact, when I think back to the days of writing my memoir, what I remember most is the feeling of trying hard to find back the old memories. What was her name? Did I make that decision before or after that talk with Barack?

I’d only kept a diary for a short period of my life, for a few years during my late twenties as I was getting more serious with Barack and thinking about a new job. It was a time filled with change, and I found writing down my thoughts helped me go through all the changes. Then I put it away and didn’t pick it up again until I began writing my memoir.

The experience left me asking myself, “Why didn’t I continue keeping a diary?” The answer, like for so many of you, I’m sure, was that I simply had a hectic life. I changed jobs. I got married. I had children.

Looking back, I wish I’d taken more time to write down what I was thinking and feeling. This isn’t an exercise to suger-coat your experiences, or write down something different from what you actually feel. You don’t have to keep a diary every day. And you certainly don’t have to feel like you have something important to say. One of my favourite pages was about a night at a restaurant where an old man added a perfect song to a jukebox (投币式点唱机).

The beauty of life is that an experience you have today might feel totally different after a few months, or years. We don’t have to remember everything. But everything we remember has value.

【1】While writing her memoir the writer found ______.

A．she couldn’t remember everything

B．she couldn’t decide on what to write

C．she couldn’t put her ideas together

D．she couldn’t get advice from Barack

【2】In her late twenties the writer ______.

A．considered getting married

B．didn’t get along well with Barack

C．wanted to try a new job

D．thought about writing her memoir

【3】The underlined word “hectic” in this passage means ______.

A．sad

B．busy

C．happy

D．boring

【4】The writer thinks that keeping a diary ______.

A．does not have to be something serious

B．should become an everyday habit

C．needs to be improved all the time

D．should be about something important

【5】Why does the writer write the text?

A．To show her thanks.

B．To ask for advice.

C．To introduce a new book.

D．To give her opinions.

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might write them in his d【1】. Now a teenager with the same problems might get on the Internet and write them in his blog. In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. So, what makes a blog different from a diary?

The biggest d【2】 is that a blog is much more public than a diary. Usually, a teenager likes hiding his diary book and treats it as one full of secrets. Both diaries and blogs tell what h【3】 to the writer that day.

A blog has both good and bad points. The biggest problem is that anyone can r【4】 what you write in your blog. If you are not s【5】 with a friend during school and write something bad about him in your diary, he will never know it. However, i【6】 you do this on the Internet, that friend may read your blog and get angry. So we have to be c【7】 of what we write.

A blog has good points, of course. People choose to write in blogs, and they know that their friends will read what they write. If you feel sad one day and write in your diary, n【8】 will know about it. If you write the same words in your blog, your friends may quickly write back to comfort you or o【9】 their help. Blogs help people stay in close contact (联系) and let them know what their friends are doing. Though i【10】 a good way to write blogs about everyday life, I still prefer my old diary.
