1、 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
We know that spending time in nature reduces stress and improves our mood. We also know that the act of hugging ourselves or another living thing can improve our well-being. That's exactly what hugging a tree does! Read on to learn more about the benefits of hugging a tree!
Take a fresh breath. So, when you are close to a tree and hug it in a forest, you are naturally in a more oxygen-rich environment. You are also more likely to be breathing in fewer pollutants (污染物), especially if the forest or woods are away from a main road or air line.
Improve heart health. Ore study found that when we experience nature—whether by hiking in nearby mountains or simply looking at trees and birds on the way to work—we can increase our heart rate variability (可变性).
Reduce stress. Trees are one of nature's greatest stress reducers. It works by connecting you to the environment and allowing you to feel grounded in both space and time. When you hug a tree, you receive grounding energy through its roots.
If you don't have a tree in your yard, go visit the local park or hike in the closest woods. Find a tree that speaks to you or is impressive in its appearance. Go give it a bug. So what if passers-by laugh at you? The bug you give is not just to the tree but to yourself and your spirit.
A. Get over your fear of embarrassment.
B. So, why not try to mix the two together?
C. It is well known that trees produce oxygen.
D. When you hug a tree, you will receive more energy.
E. This can lower the risks of many heart related diseases.
F. It's effective for people who suffer from nervousness and worry.

2、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Nature and culture are often seen as opposite ideas. What belongs to nature cannot be the result of human activities and, on the other hand, cultural development is achieved against nature. However, this is not the only opinion on the relationship between nature and culture. Studies in the development of humans suggest that culture, whether taken as an effort against nature or a natural effort, is part of the development of the human species.
Several modern writers saw the process of education as a struggle against human nature. We are born with wild natures, such as eating and behaving in a disorganized way or acting selfishly. Education uses culture as a way to get us out of our widest natures; it is thanks to culture that the human species could learn to adapt, progress and raise itself above and beyond other species.
Over the past century and a half, however, studies in the history of human development have shown that the formation of culture is part of the biological adaptation. Consider, for example, hunting. It seems to be an adaptation, which allowed humans to move into new and different areas, opening up the opportunity to change living habits. At the same time, the development of weapons is related to that adaptation—from rocks and stones to a set of hunting tools, and from hunting tools to rules relating to the proper use of weapons. Hunting also seems to be responsible for a whole set of bodily abilities, such as balancing on one foot. Just think of how this very simple thing is closely related to dance, a key expression of human culture. It is then clear that biological development and cultural development are closely tied.
The transmission of culture seems to be directly related to what's in our blood. Just as snails carry their shell, so do we bring along our culture. However, culture is also passed on among people of the same times or among people belonging to different populations. We can learn how to make jiaozi even if we were born from Russian parents in Paris just as we can learn how to speak English even if none of our family or friends speaks that language.
(1)、What is Paragraph 2 mainly intended to tell readers?A、Nature teaches humans how to adapt to rules. B、Humans are supposed to be well organized. C、Culture pushes the human species to progress. D、Culture is part of the development of human nature.(2)、Why does the writer take "hunting" for example?A、To show how culture develops as humans adapt to the environment. B、To underline the importance of tools in humans' struggle for life. C、To suggest some possible ways of changing humans' living habits. D、To explain why there is a need to call for the proper use of weapons.(3)、According to the last paragraph, we know culture ____.A、should be valued B、can be developed C、should be respected D、can be spread(4)、What is the writer's opinion on the nature-culture relationship?A、Culture and nature are separate yet balanced. B、Nature and culture are different but connected. C、Culture depends much on nature to progress. D、Nature follows the unwritten rules set by culture. -
3、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
①Do you compare yourself to other people? Perhaps your best friend receives something you really want for Christmas, or you're not allowed to go to a concert but your brother or sister is. Even though comparisons are common and can sometimes be helpful, concentrating on your own progress is important for your happiness.
②Why does concentrating on me matter? "We often compare ourselves to others who are doing better or not as well as ourselves," says Dr. Abbott, a psychologist (心理专家). "But I suggest comparing achievements to your past self (where you started) and your future self (where you'd like to get to)." This can make you take pride in what you've achieved and excited about what you might do. Psychologist Jack agrees and says that concentrating on your own purposes is more worthwhile than always trying to come out on top.
③Do comparisons make you happy? Comparing yourself to those around you is natural and we often do it without realizing it. It can help us to find our achievements and to form friendships with new people who have similar interests. However, it's important to remember that nobody is perfect in real life. It's also important to take note of how the comparison is making you feel.
④"If you begin to feel quite low, focus on your own strengths and what you are good at," says Abbott. In other words, you can ask yourself questions like "____", "What do I feel good about?" and "What improvements can I notice?", which can help you trust yourself.
⑤Maybe sometimes you are wondering "What if all my friends are better than me?". Dr. Antrobus says that jealousy (妒忌) is an ordinary feeling but focusing on improving your own performance can help you feel just as successful. He also mentions bat learning to celebrate your friends' success can not only help to cheer your friends up but also help you feel good. "It will encourage you to build each other up."
(1)、The underlined phrase "concentrating on" in Paragraph 1 means "____".A、taking part in B、making use of C、paying attention to D、playing a role in(2)、Which paragraph talks about the meaning of comparing yourself to others?A、Paragraph 1. B、Paragraph 2. C、Paragraph 3. D、Paragraph 4.(3)、Which of the following can be put into "____" in Paragraph 4?A、Who can help me now? B、What can I do well in? C、How could I lose the game? D、Where do I come from?(4)、The purpose of the last paragraph is to suggest ____.A、stopping the feeling of being jealous B、trying to do better than those around C、communicating with the friends around you D、learning to congratulate others on their progress -
4、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Like many kids, last summer I learned to ride a bike. Only I am in my 30s. When I was a child, I had no one to teach me. My mom never learned. My parents were apart when I was four, and before my father left us, he bought a bicycle for my brother and me to share.
My mom later remarried. Other kids would laugh at my brother and me because we were the only ones older than six and still depended on training wheels. My stepfather removed them, but in doing that, I lost interest and trust in riding the bicycle. I was so scared to fall off. I thought I was too old to learn too. After all, I was 8 at that time. Not knowing how to ride didn't let me down at first, until we moved outside the center of our city. In this area, bicycles were popular. When I went to the store to buy candies with my friends, I was always the last to arrive, on foot. By then, I was 12 years old.
In my early 30s, I remember how I felt when I watched my neighbors' children, as young as three, learn to ride on bikes. Then something changed. The fear was still there, but something much stronger appeared. I joined a women's bike-riding club. There, I stood in a city park, decided to control my fear. In the club, I met women from different backgrounds, and they were all finding riding skills for kinds of reasons. It made me feel like being more powerful. Not long after, I was riding confidently.
Filled with the joy of riding, I bought my own bike. It wasn't simply a bike. It was also a chance I missed earlier. Every day, when I rode out, I enjoyed the beauty of the nature and the wind on my face. Buying a bike was an investment (投资) in transportation. And it was an investment in reconnecting with my past childhood memory.
(1)、The writer gave up riding a bike when she was ____ years old.A、6 B、8 C、12 D、30(2)、What made the writer decide to learn to ride a bike?A、Moving outside the city center. B、Being late to the store all the time. C、Joining a women's bike-riding club. D、Watching young children ride bikes.(3)、What did the bike mean to the writer in the last paragraph?A、A sense of being independent. B、A connection with other bikers. C、A way to fix up her childhood. D、A kind of common transportation.(4)、Which can be the best title for the passage?A、Riding over Fear B、Learning at a Club C、Finding the Beauty D、Recalling the Past -
5、 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
①As Ghandi once said, "Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny (命运)."
②Your values are taught to you by different influences that you grew up around and that every person has, your parents, friends, teachers and the society in which you live. Your values are to guide you throughout your life choices.
③I've come to have many values of my own, and my most important value is compassion. I began to know and feel it from a young age when I realized that I enjoy helping others. Growing older I did as many things as I could to help anyone in need, I didn't care what I got in return. I just enjoy the thought that someone needs me. I would babysit during the summer for my neighbors and didn't ask for pay in return. Makayla, my childhood best friend and I would volunteer to help the old people in the old people's home.
④Another main value that is important to me is politeness. When I walk through a door, I always tell myself to look around and see if anyone is near me. If not, I will continue through the door, but if someone is close behind, I prefer to wait a bit longer and hold the door open for them. I enjoy smiling at people and let them know that I care, even if I don't know them.
⑤Aristotle said, "You are what you repeatedly do. Excellence is not an event, it is a habit." Now I'm still being taught many values that will become a habit in the future. Although my main two that I talked about are so important to me, I still have many more values. These values will help me in deciding my future and point me in a positive direction.
(1)、The writer quotes (引用) Ghandi's words to ____.A、lead into the topic "values" B、interest readers in Ghandi C、describe Ghandi's greatness D、introduce the writer's story(2)、Which of the followings shows the value of compassion?A、Doing housework at home. B、Cheering up the sick kids. C、Planting trees in city parks. D、Holding the door for ladies.(3)、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A、The writer has only two important values. B、The writer has learned the values by himself. C、We should repeat things as much as possible. D、Values are important for one's future and direction.(4)、How does the writer organize the passage?A、①//②③④⑤ B、①②③④//⑤ C、①//②③④//⑤ D、①②//③④//⑤ -
