Struggling directive attention (the kind of attention that takes effort) can be refreshed through exposure ho to naturalistic environments. Basically, taking a walk through the park can clear one39。 To test their theory, the study39。 The results? Participants working in the room with the plants improved their performance from the first Reading Span Test to the second while those working in the room lacking in greenery did not. Consequently, the benefits of working among plants is indeed evident.（1）What do we know from the first paragraph? indoors can help avoid the poorer air outdoors. can Function as beautiful cheap air purifiers. polled flowers as decorations is very interesting. purifiers are the most effective to create a healthy home.（2）What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably refer to? one39。s attention. one39。s attention away.（3）What does the test prove? in nature helps increase productivity. will be in great demand in our life. creates healthier naturalistic atmosphere indoors. among houseplants improves mental functioning.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text? : Grand Feast to Eyes: Effective Airpurifier: Visual Brain Food Plants: Great! Housebeautifier【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，通過(guò)實(shí)驗(yàn)說(shuō)明室內(nèi)植物可以很好地提高人們的注意力。根據(jù)第一段中的“Given that the air inside your home can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air outside of it, making it clean with plants like peace lily (百合花) and asparagus fem (蘆筍蕨) is a economical, artistically pleasing alternative to air purifiers.”可知，鑒于室內(nèi)空氣污染比室外空氣污染嚴(yán)重2到5倍，用百合花、蘆筍蕨這些植物來(lái)取代空氣凈化器凈化室內(nèi)空氣即經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)惠又美觀。 （2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。據(jù)此可推知，縮小注意力范圍即指注意力得到恢復(fù)，變得更專(zhuān)注。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。因此，在植物間工作的好處是顯而易見(jiàn)的。故選D。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容可知本文介紹室內(nèi)植物可以很好地提高人們的注意力，對(duì)大腦的工作效果起到積極作用。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科研類(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。 Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered secondclass citizens. Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O39。 I39。re other primates(靈長(zhǎng)目動(dòng)物), after all, animals from our own mammalian(靈長(zhǎng)目動(dòng)物) class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social panions. Longterm studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure in laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks. Animal activists are already there, of course, mitted to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?（1）According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability ofinteractionanalysiscreationabstraction（2）The research into pigs shows that pigs .

Then the team switched from reallife objects to Tshirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the Oshirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a twodimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.”可知，一些研究者拿著帶X標(biāo)記的木板，一些研究者拿著帶O標(biāo)記的木板，只有拿帶O標(biāo)記木板的研究者給豬提供食物，豬很快就只理會(huì)這些研究者了。這表明豬將把知識(shí)轉(zhuǎn)移到了二維的形式，這是一種相當(dāng)大的推理壯舉。(3)考查段落大意。很快，作者就意識(shí)到除了猴子和猩猩，鯨魚(yú)也是文化學(xué)習(xí)的主人，大象也表現(xiàn)出高興等情感。很明顯，本段介紹的是人們對(duì)動(dòng)物看法的轉(zhuǎn)變。(4)考查主旨大意。第二和第三段以母雞和豬為例告訴讀者：通過(guò)科學(xué)研究，母雞和豬也具備情感，也具備分析推理能力。第五和第六段呼吁讀者：動(dòng)物有自己的情感和思想，我們不要只將動(dòng)物當(dāng)成我們的食物。故選A。段落大意和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科普類(lèi)閱讀，要求考生根據(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。 Recent summer temperatures in parts of Australia were high enough to melt asphalt. As global warming speeds up the heat and climatic events increase, many plants may be unable to cope. But at least one species of eucalyptus tree can resist extreme heat by continuing to “sweat” when other essential processes stop, a new study finds. conditions in their natural environment, little is known about how individual species handle this situation. Photosynthesis ground to a near halt in the trees facing the artificial heat wave. But to the researchers39。 The researchers think the Parramatta red gums were able to effectively sweat — even without photosynthesis — because they are particularly good at tapping into water deep in the soil. But if a heat wave and a severe drought (干旱) were to hit at the same time and the groundwater was exhausted, the trees may not be s
