Everyone can be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person.“可知Denis Dumas 和Kevin Dunbar的研究結果表明創(chuàng)造力不是個體特征，而是環(huán)境和視角的產物。每個人都可以有創(chuàng)造力，只要他或她覺得自己是一個有創(chuàng)造力的人。也就是說一個人的創(chuàng)造力是取決于自己的。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據第七段中的”According to Dr. Pillay, it works because it is an act of conscious unfocus, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when you39。re not focused on a specific task or thought.“可知據皮萊博士說，心理萬圣節(jié)之所以有效，是因為它是一種有意識的分散注意力的行為，當你不專注于某一特定任務或思想時，大腦中一系列區(qū)域就起作用。這說明心理萬圣節(jié)有效是因為大腦的某些區(qū)域大腦協(xié)同工作，故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據第四段中的”He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to challenge the stereotyped (陳詞濫調的) advice that urges you to ‘believe in yourself.’ In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.“可知想象自己處在一個新的環(huán)境中，或者是一個全新的身份，你會感到從未有過的高效，你讓自己更有創(chuàng)造力。由此推斷所以要變得有創(chuàng)造力的話，要想象自己有一個全新的身份，也就是把自己想象成另外一個人。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 A new study suggests a link between exposure to greenery and reduced desires for alcohol cigarette and junk food. The study is the first to investigate the possible relationships between exposure to nature and desires and negative emotions. Researchers at the University of Plymouth39。s School of Psychology surveyed 149 respondents (應答者) aged 21 o 65 about the proportion( 比例 )of green space in their neighborhood, the presence of green views from their home, their access to a garden and how often they use public green space. The study also asked questions about experiences with depression and anxiety, as well as desires for things like caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. Participants rated the intensity( 強度), imagery, and intrusiveness(侵擾性) of their desires on an 11point scale. Researchers found the presence of visible green space contributed to decreased desires for junk food. The effect was particularly noticeable when more than 25 percent of a respondent39。s view was greenery. Previous scholarship(學術研究) has dealt mostly with exercise in nature: A 2015 study out of the University of Michigan found 90 minute group nature walks were effective at batting depression and relieving other mood disorders. But for people who struggle with accessibility or don39。t have time for a 90minute walk, this new study suggests just looking out a window at a tree can help fight off a bad habit. It has been known for some time that being outdoors in nature is linked to a person39。s wellbeing, lead author Leanne Martin said in a statement. But for there to be a similar association with desires from simply being able to see green space adds a new dimension to the previous research. A 2018 study from Denmark39。s Aarhus University for example, found that. Having access to green space throughout childhood decreased a person39。s risk of developing mental health problems as an adult.（1）What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? results of the new study. purpose of the new study. significance of the new study. content of the new study.（2）What does the underlined word batting in paragraph 4 probably mean? ...（3）According to the passage, the new study _____. referred to exercise in nature enriched the previous research to some degree carried out by the University of Michigan exposure to greenery helped cure mental problems（4）n which section of a newspaper may this passage appear? World amp。Science【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一項新的研究成果多看綠色植物和吃垃圾食品這兩者看似風馬牛不相及，可研究結構卻表明它們之間存在著一種奇妙的關系：多看綠色植物能幫助人們克制吃垃圾食品的欲望。 （1）考查段落大意。根據第二段中的“Researchers …surveyed 149 respondents aged 21 o 65 about the proportion of green space in their neighborhood…”研究人員調查了年齡在21~65歲之間的149名參與者小區(qū)內的綠植比例……；以及“The study also asked questions about experiences with depression and anxiety…”研究中還問了與抑郁及焦慮有關的問題……等可知，第二段主要介紹了新研究的調查內容，故選D。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據常識可知，在大自然中散步對人體有各種各樣的好處，再結合句中出現(xiàn)的“relieving other mood disorders(緩解其他情緒紊亂)”不難推斷出， batting depression應表示“減輕抑郁”。故選A。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據倒數第二段中的“…adds a new dimension(方面) to the previous research”為以前的研究增加了新的方面，可知，新的研究在某種程度上豐富了之前的研究成果。故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷?？v觀全文可知，本文介紹了一項科學研究的研究成果，所以該文章最有可能出現(xiàn)在“技術與科學”版塊。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測，推理判斷和段落大意四個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎上，進一步根據上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Anxiety has now surpassed depression as the most mon mental health disease among college students, though depression, too, is on the rise. More than half of students visiting campus clinics cite anxiety as a health concern, according to a recent study of more than 100,000 students nationwide by the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State.
