26、   There are plenty of health benefits of spending time in the great outdoors. According to a study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research, people who grew up with access to nature may have better mental health as adults than those who did not.

To test their hypothesis (假设) ，researchers sent questionnaires to 3, 585 adults aged 18 to 75 in four European cities on topics such as how often they visited natural spaces as children and now as adults. Participants were also given psychological test to determine the state of their mental health in the last month. Adults with low levels of nature exposure during childhood saw “significantly worse” mental health issues and did not view natural spaces as much importance in adulthood as those who spent more time growing up outside.

Researchers say that their findings show the importance of childhood exposure to natural spaces as it relates to developing an appreciation of nature and healthy psychological state in adulthood.

This is particularly significant, because almost three-quarters of Europeans currently live in urban areas with little access to green spaces. That number is expected to increase to 80 percent in the next three decades. Mental health has been shown to be negatively influenced by urban environments due to exposure to noise, crowds and a lack of green spaces among other things. Children who lead inactive lifestyles are more likely to have a lower quality of life and physical health.

“Many children in Europe lead an indoor lifestyle, so it would be desirable to make natural outdoor environments available, attractive and safe for them to play in," said study author Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, director of ISGlobal's Urban Planning, Environment and Health Initiative. "We make a call on policymakers to improve the availability of natural spaces for children and green schoolyards."

【1】What inspiration do researchers take from their findings ?

A．the health of children's psychology.

B．the state of children's mental health.

C．the development of nature appreciation.

D．the importance of childhood exposure to nature.

【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 4 ?

A．Europeans prefer an inactive lifestyle.

B．European Children are in good physical health.

C．Europeans lack access to natural spaces.

D．European Children probably suffer lower quality of life.

【3】What in the future is the study most likely to influence according to the last paragraph?

A．Urban planning.

B．Economic policies.

C．Child education.

D．Local tourism.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Indoor Activities Are Good for Children's Growth

B．Living in Urban Areas Harms Psychological Health

C．An Inactive Lifestyle Means a Lower Quality of Life

D．Childhood Exposure to Nature Benefits Mental Health

27、Having experienced a shocking electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, James Franco’s world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a   thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later, lying face down in muddy water. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a tree and muddy road. When Mrs. Franco came running up to him,   shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was another sudden shock.

A．a terrible electrical accident happened to him

B．nobody in the whole world cared about him

C．he was struck by the lightning once more

A．Gradual.

B．Wrong.

C．Convincing.

D．True.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．A Terrible Electrical Accident

B．What a Sudden Shock

C．An Unforgettable Adventure

D．James Franco and His wife

28、Directions:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.

Talk to any parent of a student who took an adventurous gap year and a misty(有雾的)look will come into their eyes. There are some, disasters and even the most motivated, organized gap student does require family support, financial, emotional and physical The parental mistiness is not just about the brilliant experience that has matured their kids. It is vicarious(感同身受)living.【1】Now we can see how much tougher our kids become; how much more prepared they are to benefit from university or to decide positively that they are going to do something other than a degree.

【2】Pictures of Prince William toiling in Chile have helped, and the trend has been developing for a decade. The range of gap packages starts with backpacking, includes working with charities and, very commonly, working as a language assistant. With this trend, however, comes a danger. Once parents feel that a well-structured year is essential to their would-be undergraduate’s progress to a better university and well-paid employment, as the gap companies suggest it might be, then parents will start organizing and paying for the gaps.

Where there are disasters, according to Richard Oliver, director of the Year Out Group, it is usually because of poor planning.【3】“When people get it wrong, it is usually medical, or especially among girls, it is that they have not been away from home before or because expectation does not match reality.”

The point of a gap year is that it should be the time when the school leaver gets to do the thing that he or she fancies.【4】

The 18-year-old who was sent by his parents at two weeks’ notice to Canada to learn to be a snowboarding instructor at a cost of ￡5,800, probably came back with little gain. The 18-year-old on the same package who worked for his fare and spent the rest of his year instructing in resorts from New Zealand to Switzerland, and came back to apply for university, is the positive counterbalance.

A.We all wish pre-university gap years had been the fashion in our day.

B.Kids don’t mature if mum and dad decide how they are going to mature.

C.Gap years are fashionable, as is reflected in the huge growth in the number of charities and private companies offering them.

D.That can be the fault of the company or of the student, but, the best insurance is thoughtful preparation.

E.UK has sought to limit the number of students who take a year out, punishing students who delay their education to travel abroad or work full-time.

F.Plan My Gap-Year is an award-winning international organization, specializing in volunteer abroad programmes

29、If you surf the web with Microsoft Edge, that may be because you use Windows. If you use Safari, that's probably because you are an Apple customer. It's easy to get used to one browser because these apps are all fast, capable and allow us to visit a website.

So if there are no obvious differences, why bother looking for something else? By the end of this article, I hope to persuade you to at least try something else: a private browser. Private browsers, from less-known brands like DuckDuckGo to Brave, have come out over the last three years. What stands out about them is that they minimize the data gathered about us by blocking the technologies used to track us.

While some browsers like Safari and Firefox also include tracking prevention, the smaller brands have been focused on even more privacy protections. We have also reached an inflection point in digital privacy. The online advertising industry is on the edge of stopping using web cookies that follow us from site to site and help target us with advertisements. Google, whose Chrome browser is the world's most popular, has been trying to develop a new way to target us with advertisements without the cookie.

Private browsers rely on something called private mode, which is a browsing process that does not record a history of the websites you have visited. Private browsers also use tracker blockers, which can often be downloaded as an add-on for a browser. Whenever you load a website, the software then discovers those trackers and prevents them from following you from site to site. The big weakness of this approach is that blocking them can sometimes cause parts of websites, like shopping carts and videos, to break down.

But private browsers do no prevent your Internet provider from seeing what websites you visit. So if you are on vacation and using a hotel's Wi-Fi connection, a private browser will not keep your browsing information private from the hotel's Internet provider.

In the end, though, you probably would be happier using a private browser. Even if you don't make one your default browser, it is useful for certain situations, like a sensitive web search on a health condition.

【1】What is the author's view on Microsoft Edge and Safari?

A．They work quite differently.

B．They are small brand browsers.

C．They serve the same purpose.

D．They are popular with Apple customers.

【2】Why are web cookies being used?

A．To prevent tracking

B．To collect information about Internet users.

C．To get rid of online advertisements.

D．To increase Internet speed

【3】What is the problem with private browsers?

A．They have many add-ons.

B．They refuse tracker blockers.

C．They increase the risk of online surfing

D．They affect the smoothness of online surfing.

【4】What is the author trying to do in the last paragraph?

A．To call on people to try private browsers.

B．To show people how to use private browsers.

C．To remind people to check their health condition.

D．To encourage people to use their default browsers.
