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)。 the firefighters all have posttraumatic stress disorder (創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)激障礙). 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. There is increasing evidence that being outside in a pleasant natural environment is good for us. But how many of us get to enjoy nature regularly? Fewer and fewer, it seems. According to Lisa Nisbet, a psychology professor at Canada s Trent University, evidence for the benefits of nature is pouring in at a time when we are most disconnected from it. We don39。t think of being outdoors as a way to increase happiness, says Nisbet. We think other things will, like shopping or TV. But South Korea is starting to challenge this opinion. So what are some of the benefits of nature that Nisbet refers to? Being surrounded by nature has one obvious effect: It calms us and reduces our stress levels. This has been shown to lower blood pressure and heart rates. Another experiment conducted by psychologist Stephen Kaplan found that people who took a 50minute walk in a park had better attention and shortterm memory than those who took a walk along a city street. Perhaps what39。s more surprising is that nature may also make us more creative. David Strayer, a psychologist at the University of Utah, showed as much with a group of participants, who performed 50 percent better on creative problemsolving tasks after three days of wilderness backpacking. In fact, we may never know exactly what nature does to the brain. Something mysterious will always remain, and maybe that39。s as it should be.（1）What is Kang Byoungwook doing? lost in nature. up his strength. to control a forest fire. firefighters under stress.（2）What does Lisa Nisbet think of being outdoors? is overlooked by people. has nothing to do with happiness. Koreans show great interest in it. need more evidence for its benefits.（3）What benefit of nature did Stephen Kaplan find? affects people39。s feelings. lowers the risks of diseases. helps improve mental performance. does more good than physical exercise.（4）What would be the best title for the text? life in forests brain on nature future of forest healing benefits of a stressfree life【答案】 （1）A（2）A（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，由韓國(guó)患創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)激障礙的消防員接受森林治愈談起，介紹了大自然對(duì)我們身心健康的益處。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。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。他完全沉浸在大自然之中。故選A。 （2）考查推理判斷。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(shuō)的話(huà)可知，他認(rèn)為現(xiàn)代人忽視了大自然的重要性，戶(hù)外活動(dòng)少了。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“had better attention and shortterm memory ”可知，Stephen Kaplan的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)親近大自然可以提高注意力和短期記憶力，也就是說(shuō)提高了大腦的工作效率。故選C。 （4）考查主旨大意。本文主要介紹了森林治愈和大自然對(duì)于人類(lèi)健康尤其是大腦工作效率和減緩壓力方面的益處，故B項(xiàng)作標(biāo)題最符合文章的主旨。故選B。 【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(lèi)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。5．犇犇閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 When you think back to the blackboard from your school days, what color is it? Chances are that it39。s green. So what39。s up with the name? Originally, blackboards were really black. Before wallsized blackboards existed, late 18thcentury students used their own mini boards made of slate (石板) or painted wood, according to Concordia University, Those first boards were, in fact, black, and they paved the way for the larger ones. In 1800 when a Scottish headmaster named James Pillans wanted his students to draw maps, the students couldn39。t draw the maps their teacher wanted on their tiny boards, so Pillans put several slates together to create a large board. Problem solved! From there, the idea spread quickly as teachers could finally show a concept to the whole class at one time. By 1815, the massive writing spaces were mon enough to earn their own name: blackboard. The color change came in the 1960s when panies sold, steel plates, coated with green enamel (漆) instead of the traditional dark slate. The new material was lighter and less fragile than the first blackboards, so they were cheaper to ship and more likely to survive the journey. Teachers weren39。t plaining either. After all, the new greenboards made the chalk powder easier to erase. Plus, the enamel left less of a glare and the color was nicer to look at. At that point, people started using the word chalkboard as a more accurate descriptor, but blackboard still stuck around.（1）What did the late 18thcentury students use in class? A.Blackboard.B.Chalkboard.C.Greenboard.D.Mini board.（2）Why did the headmaster ask the students to put their mini boards together? A.To make a parison.B.To make enough space.C.To draw students39。 attention.D.To arouse students39。 inte
