hike in the Saneum HealingForest, 46yearold firefighter Kang Byoungwook has tea made from the bark of an elm tree, practices yoga (瑜伽), and makes a picture with dried flowers. He is one of 40 firefighters taking part in a threeday program, the aim of which is to offer forest healing (森林治愈)。 Saneum is one of three official healing forests in South Korea. Soon there will be 34 more. South Koreansmany of whom suffer from work stress, digital addiction, and great academic pressure have accepted the medicalization of nature with great enthusiasm. Perhaps what39。 In fact, we may never know exactly what nature does to the brain. Something mysterious will always remain, and maybe that39。根據(jù)第一段中的“Kang Byoungwook has tea made from the bark of an elm tree, practices yoga (瑜伽), and makes a picture with dried flowers.”可知,Kang Byoungwook正在接受森林治愈:品茶、做瑜伽、做手工。根據(jù)第三段中的“ But how many of us get to enjoy nature regularly? Fewer and fewer 和 evidence for the benefits of nature is pouring in at a time when we are most disconnected from it”以及第四段中Lisa Nisbet所說的話可知,他認(rèn)為現(xiàn)代人忽視了大自然的重要性,戶外活動(dòng)少了。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇健康類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。 According to a recent study, a new genetically modified rice can prevent infections of HIV, the virus responsible for the disease AIDS. They say the easiest and most costeffective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin. The HIVfighting proteins can then enter the body through the skin. People all over the world could grow the rice and make the cream themselves. This would prevent the cost and travel required for many patients to receive treatments and medicine.Stress the urgency of HIV treatments.B.By transforming it into proteins.B.It can prevent infections of HIV.B.A biology textbook.B.研究人員表示,這一“突破性”的發(fā)現(xiàn)是“現(xiàn)在唯一的”以低成本為發(fā)展中國家生產(chǎn)抗艾滋病毒聯(lián)合治療的方法,但還有待于進(jìn)一步的完善。由此可推斷出對(duì)于艾滋病的治療迫在眉睫,非常緊迫?!皌he most costeffective”與“the lowest cost”是同義詞,“make it into a cream”與“process it into a cream”是同義的。由此可推斷這種基因工程的過程還需要進(jìn)一步的完善。因此與人類的健康有關(guān),所以本文可能是出現(xiàn)在健康雜志上,故選B。 So who was Alexander and how did he e up with the technique? Frederick Alexander, an Australian actor born in 1869, found in his youth that he had vocal (聲音的) problems during performances. He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad.

He analyzed himself and realized his posture was bad. He worked on improving it, with excellent results.”可知,弗雷德里克本文介紹亞歷山大技巧的對(duì)于矯正身體的作用以及其發(fā)明者,故可知在介紹亞歷山大技巧的作用,故選C。s cold.

So, when our body needs extra energy, one of the places it goes is our immune function.”可知我們的身體里有大量的免疫細(xì)胞,暫時(shí)停止運(yùn)作是可以的。 (2)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的As a result, our immune system evolved to run in maximum amounts when we39。選D。7.閱讀理解 Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand— younger consumers want payment systems that plug easily into their digital lives. But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets) and teles panies (in emerging ones) are developing fast, easytouse payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. There is a high cost to running the infrastructure behind the cash economy—ATMs, vans carrying notes, tellers who accept coins. Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees.. A.promote payment without paper money or coins(2)In paragraph 3, several countries are mentioned to show . A.China is developing faster that those developed countries in digital payment(3)Cash is disappearing largely because the infrastructure is developing at a high speed in developed marketsD.B.D.根據(jù)第一段中的“Rich countries are racing to dematerialise payments.”可知, 富裕國家正競相將支付非物質(zhì)化;再根據(jù)第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現(xiàn)金交易數(shù)量下降了80%。根據(jù)第三段中的“In Sweden the number of retail cash transaction per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years.”可知在過去的十年中,瑞典的人均零售現(xiàn)金交易數(shù)量下降了80%;再根據(jù)“In China digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2012 to 34% in 2017.”可知在中國,數(shù)字支付從2012年占所有支付的4%上升到2017年的34%。根據(jù)第四段中的 “But equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets)... Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage oldfashioned customers with heavy fees.”可知現(xiàn)金消失的一個(gè)重要原因就是諸如銀行和科技公司(在發(fā)達(dá)市場)和電信公司(在新興市場)之類的供應(yīng)商正在開發(fā)快速,易于使用的支付技術(shù),他們可以從中提取數(shù)據(jù)和小費(fèi)。故選B。8.閱讀理解 t flat.
