城市化让人们越来越难以接触到自然，但一项新研究发现城市中的野生自然对人类健康和幸福感具有重要影响。

研究团队对一座大型城市公园的游客进行调查，发现与野生自然的互动可以创造出一种可用的语言，帮助人们认识和参与最令人满意和有意义的活动。

该研究呼吁保护城市中的野生自然。

13. As cities balloon with growth, access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find. If you’re lucky, there might be a pocket park near where you live, but it’s unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.
Past research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans, but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.
The research team focused on a large urban park. They surveyed several hundred park-goers, asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park. The researchers then examined these submissions, coding (编码) experiences into different categories. For example, one participant’s experience of “W e sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while ” was assigned the categories “sitting at beach” and “listening to waves.”
Across the 320 submissions, a pattern of categories the researchers call a “nature language” began to emerge. After the coding of all submissions,half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors. These include encountering wildlife, walking along the edge of water, and following an established trail.
Naming each nature experience creates a usable language, which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them. For example, the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park. Back downtown during a workday, they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.
“We’re trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives. And for that to happen, we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,” said Peter Kahn, a senior author of the study.1. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text?
A ．Pocket parks are now popular.
B ．Wild nature is hard to find in cities.
C ．Many cities are overpopulated.
D ．People enjoy living close to nature.2. Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories?
A ．To compare different types of park-goers.
B ．To explain why the park attracts tourists.
C．To analyze the main features of the park.D．To find patterns in the visitors’ summaries.
3. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5?
A．Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.
B．Young people are too busy to interact with nature.
C．The same nature experience takes different forms.
D．The nature language enhances work performance.
4. What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn?
A．Language study.B．Environmental conservation.
C．Public education.D．Intercultural communication.
14. In A History of Reading, the Canadian novelist Alberto Manguel describes a remarkable transformation of human consciousness, which took place around the 10th century A.D.: the arrival of silent reading. Human beings have been reading for thousands of years, but in ancient times, the normal thing was to read aloud. With the arrival of silent reading, Manguel writes, …the reader was at last able to establish an unrestricted relationship with the book and the words. The words no longer needed to occupy the time required to pronounce them. The reader’s thoughts inspected them at leisure, drawing new ideas from them, allowing comparisons from memory or from other books.
①To read silently is to free your mind to reflect, to remember, to question and compare. The cognitive scientist Maryanne Wolf calls this freedom “the secret gift of time to think”. A thousand years later, critics fear that digital technology has put this gift in danger. The Internet’s flood of information, together with the distractions of social media, threatens to overwhelm the space of reading, leaving us in what the journalist Nicholas Carr has called “the shallows”. In Carr’s view, the “endless, tempting buzz” of the Internet endangers our very being: “One of the greatest dangers we face,” he writes, “as we give up control over the flow of our thoughts and memories to a powerful electronic system, is a slow damage to our humanness and our humanity.”
②There’s no question that digital technology presents challenges to the reading brain. But seen from a historical perspective, digital reading and silent reading look like differences of degree, rather than of kind. To the extent that digital reading represents something new, its potential cuts both ways. Done badly, the Internet reduces us to mindless clickers, racing numbly to the bottom of a bottomless feed; but done well, it has the potential to expand the very contemplative (沉思的) space that we have prized in ourselves ever since we learned to read without moving our lips.
③In the fifth century B.C., Socrates worried that writing would weaken human memory, and stifle(扼杀) judgment. In fact, as Wolf notes in her 2007 book Proust and the Squid: the Story and Science of the Reading Brain, the opposite happened: Faced with the written page, the reader’s brain develops new capacities.
④The Internet may cause our minds to wander off, and yet a quick look at the history of books suggests that we have been wandering off all along. When we read, the eye does not progress steadily along the line of text; it alternates between saccades —little jumps—and brief stops, not unlike the movement of the mouse’s cursor across a screen of hypertext.
It’s true that studies have found that readers given text on a screen do worse on recall and comprehension tests than readers given the same text on paper. But a 2015 study by the German educator Johannes Naumann suggests the opposite. He gave a group of high-school students the job of tracking down certain pieces of information on websites; he found that the students who regularly did research online were better at this task than students who used the Internet mostly to send email, chat, and blog.
A new generation of digital writers prefers to include interactive features. The 2014 iPad novel, Pry, tells the story of a demolition(爆破) expert returning home from the first Gulf War. The story is told in text, photographs, video clips, and audio. It uses an interface(界面) that allows you to follow the action and shift between levels of awareness. As you read text on the screen, describing characters and plot, you draw your fingers apart and see a photograph of the chief character, his eyes opening on the world. Pinch your finger shut and you visit his troubled unconscious; words and images race by, as if you are inside his memory. Pry is the opposite of a shallow work; its whole play is between the surface and the depths of the human mind. Reading it is stimulating.
1. In Alberto Manguel’s opinion, silent reading ________.
A．is an abnormal thing to human consciousness
B．offers readers’ mind freedom and time to think
C．strengthens readers’ power of memory and reflection
D．allows readers to gain an insight into books and words
2. Why is digital technology considered to have endangered our being?
A．It presents challenges to the reading brain.
B．It harms our humanness and humanity gradually.
C．It is very likely to expand our contemplative space.
D．It leaves our thoughts and memories out of control.
3. The sentence “The fear of technology is not new.” should be placed in ________.
A．①B．②C．③D．④
4. What can we infer from Johannes Naumann’s study?
A．It’s easier to collect information on the Internet than in books.
B．People’s habit of using the Internet influences their performance.
C．The Internet isn’t supposed to be used as a tool of entertainment.
D．Paper reading is better than screen reading in improving comprehension.
5. The 2014 iPad novel, Pry, is mentioned in the last paragraph to ______.
A．introduce the occurrence of a reading revolution
B．show the technology employed in digital reading
C．prove digital reading not shallow but attractive
D．illustrate the impact digital reading has on our life.
6. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A．The deep space of digital reading
B．The timely arrival of silent reading
C．The development of traditional reading
D．The potential damage of electronic books

文章主要介绍了美国篮球运动员勒布朗·詹姆斯的生平和他取得的成绩。

16. He left Cleveland for Miami and finally became a champion. He went back to his beloved Cleveland, before he left for the Los Angeles Lakers. He played in eight straight finals. No NBA player won more games or more MVP awards over the last 10 years than he did. He went to Hollywood and made movies.
“That’s all?” LeBron James asked, in joking disbelief.
No, that’s not all. Those were just some highlights of the last 10 years and there was no sign of slowing down.
To honor his achievements, James is added to The Associated Press (AP) List of male athlete of the decade, which includes Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky and Arnold Palmer. He easily defeated Tom Brady of the New England Patriots in the AP vote.
James has a typical schedule that even surprises those closest to him. He wakes up at 3 am and arrives at the Warner Bros lot by 3:45—where a weight room and a court, built just for him, were waiting. He’d be lifting by 4:00, getting shots up by 5:30 and be ready to join his team by 7:00.
“That’s who he is,” said Mike Mancias, one of James’ best friends. “He does whatever it takes to achieve his goal—especially his game and his craft.”
The 2010s for James started with “The Decision”, the widely criticized televised announcement of his choice to leave Cleveland for Miami Heat.
He was with the Heat for four years before he joined the NBA and finally won the title in 2012.
Cleveland was very unhappy when he left. But it forgave him and welcomed him back in 2014. In 2018, James went to Hollywood and set up a company to make movies.
“There are a lot of big moments for this decade,” James said. “But the best one? Definitely marrying Savannah.”
James got married with Savannah Brinson, his high school sweetheart, in 2012. They already had two sons, and added a daughter in 2014.
1. Who failed to be named the AP male athlete of the decade?
A．Tiger Woods.B．Tom Brady.C．Wayne Gretzky.D．Arnold Palmer.
2. What does Mike Mancias mean?
A．James is a good friend.B．James cannot stay long with any team.
C．James is a determined man.D．James spends too much time on the game.
3. When did James start making movies?
A．In 2010.B．In 2012.C．In 2014.D．In 2018.
4. What can we know about Savannah Brinson?
A．She got married in 2014.B．She is a cheerleader for the Lakers.
C．She is a mother of two children.D．She fell in love with James in high school.

Restoring the peaceful spaces of Keyuan, and others, in Suzhou honors the past and keeps ancient skills alive, Wang Kaihao reports.
Students studying here two centuries ago seemed to be really enviable (令人羡慕的). First 1 (construct) in the 10th century as a part of a villa, the garden of Keyuan in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, was rebuilt and renewed on numerous occasions 2 history until it became a Confucian academy in 1805.
It was not, perhaps, an ivory tower where hermits became entirely emerged in metaphysical thinking honoring the ancient sages. The waterscape, rockeries and flourishing willows may have ushered (引导) students to step into a "painting" 3 earthly beauty and dynamics of a real world can be felt.
Keyuan, covering about 7,800 square meters, thus became the only 4 (survive) example among the classical gardens of Suzhou that 5 (function) as a school, whereas most of the rest were former residences.
However, its ownership changed hands several times in recent history, and the luster of the past seems 6 (forget) by the passing of time after the garden was finally used as offices and storerooms. The contrast became even more regrettable 7 the Great Wave Pavilion, a garden on the UNESCO World Heritage List that is just a few meters away across a narrow lane, was bustling with tourists every day.
When Keyuan was handed to He Fengchun, a veteran garden renovation designer, in 2012, her work to make “the pearl” shine again was challenging. The pond was muddy. Rocks were unstable. Plants were withering. Termites also took a toll on the buildings, the structure of which
8 (damage) through decades of neglect.
“Fortunately, its basic layout remained, ”recalls He, the director of Suzhou Institute of Landscape Architecture Design. “Detailed research of historical files and a survey of this site can thus offer us reliable references in 9 (consolidate) its structure and resuming the original landscape.”
Every step in the refurbishing and decorating process has to follow historical recordings and precedent, says the designer. If relevant documentation is vague, restorers 10 leave certain parts untouched to retain marks left by time.
“It took just more than one year for us to actually renovate this garden, but much longer time was spent in evaluating every detail in the plan and making sure of its historical accuracy,” she says.
Renovation of Keyuan was recognized with an Asia-Pacific A ward for Cultural Heritage Conservation by UNESCO in 2019. A bright and elegant garden is now accessible to visitors and jointly portrays a culturally rich neighborhood with the Great Wave Pavilion.。
