Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a par
2、agraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.A Grassroots RemedyA) Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside
3、rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they dont run the streets. Every one of the minstinctively heads to the park or the riv
4、er. It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.B) But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived ( 丧失) , I spent my boyhood climbing trees on Stratham Common, south London. These days, children are robbe
5、d of these an cientfreedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.C) The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the U.S. families h
6、ad moved to better housing andthe children were assessed for ADHD - attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( 多动症) .Thosewhose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had thesame improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.D) A study i
7、n Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment hadless illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground. A U.S. studysuggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, academic levels wereraised across
8、 the entire school.E) Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantas
9、y play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.F) Most bullying (持枪凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎石) play ground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds mean pleasantly of Sunny hill School
10、in Stratham, with its harsh tarmac, where I used to hang about incomers fantasizing about wildlife. The children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damage
11、 is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.G) One of the great problems of modem childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Yet one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we s
12、pend money on drugs rather than on green places.H) The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing emphasis for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most i
13、mportant thing in finding that quality.I) In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundingsim prove all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behavior are reduced when there is contact with the natural world. Dr. William Bird, resea
14、rcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of birds, states in his study, A natural environment can reduce violent behavior because its restorative process helps reduce anger and impulsive behavior. Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.J) We tend
15、to look on nature conservation as some kind of favor that human beings are granting to the natural world. The error here is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural world are separable things is profoundly damaging. Human beings are
16、 a species of mammals (哺乳动物) . For seven million years they lived on the planet as part of nature. Our ancestral selves miss the natural world and long for contact with nonhuman life. Anyone who has patted a dog, stoked a cat, sat under a tree with a pint of beer, given or received a bunch of flower
17、s or chosen to walk through the park on a nice day, understands that. We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health, our happiness. Without the wild world we are not more but less civilized. Without other living things around us we are less than human.K) Five Ways to Find Har
18、mony with the Natural World Walk: Break the rhythm of permanently being under a roof. Get off a stop earlier, make a circuit of the park at lunchtime, walk the child to and from school, get a dog, feel yourself moving in moving air, look, listen, absorb. Sit: Take a moment, every now and then, to be
19、 still in an open space. In the garden, anywhere thats not in the office, anywhere out of the house, away from the routine. Sit under a tree, look at water, feel refreshed, ever so slightly renewed. Drink: The best way to enjoy the natural world is by oneself; the second best way is in company. Take
20、 a drink outside with a good person, a good gathering: talk with the sun and the wind with bird-song for background. Learn: Expand your boundaries. Leam five species of bird, five butterflies, five trees, five bird songs. That way, you see and hear more: and your mind responds gratefully to the grea
21、ter amount of wildness in your life.Travel: The places you always wanted to visit: by the seaside, in the country, in the hills. Take a week-end break, a day-trip, get out these and do it: for the scenery, for the way through the woods, for the birds, for the bees. Go somewhere special and bring spe

It is extremely harmful to think that humanity and the natural world can be separated.Section B大自然疗法A)【47】我们中的大多数人都套花时间寻求与大自然亲近。为此，我们会遛狗，打高尔夫，钓鱼，去花园静坐，在外面喝酒而不是去酒馆，去野餐，在郊区居住，逛海边以及花钱去乡村度周末。英国最受欢迎的休闲活动是散步。慢跑者不会在大街上跑步，
26、都会本能地向公园或小河边跑。我深信，我们不仅需要大自然，而且我们也都在寻觅着大自然，不管我们有没有认识到这一点。B)尽管如此，我们的孩子们似乎正在丧失自然的天性。我的童年是在伦敦南部的Streatham Common度过的，那时候我很喜欢爬树。现如今，孩子们的那些自由已经被剥夺了，因为犯罪、交通问题层出不穷，露天场所大量流失，【50】还有一些关于什么是对孩子们最好的奇怪新观念，觉得是能买到的东西，而不是可以发现的东西。C)这一现象在其他地方也得到了证实。美国人做了一项调查：关于家庭住房条件的改善对患多动症的孩子的影响。【52】调查发现，住在自然风光视野更开阔的房子里的患儿改善了19，而那些住在
27、物质条件得到同等改善，但没有魅力的自然风景的房于里的患儿仅改善了4。D)【46】瑞典的一项研究显示， 在自然环境中玩要的幼儿园小朋友比在只习惯在正规运动场玩耍的小朋友少患病，身依也更健康。美国的一项研究也表明，如果学校让孩子们接触自然环境，整个学校的学术水平也会上一个新台阶。E)另一项研究发现，孩子们在自然环境中玩耍，其表现也不尽相同。在运动场上，孩子们会因体能的差异而形成一种等级秩序，身体结实的占主导地位。但是，如果在一片种了几丛灌木的绿草坪上，孩子们的玩耍更多的则和想象力有关，他们的等级秩序建立在想象力和创造力上。F)【53】大多数恃强凌弱的现象发生在有柏油碎石运动场的学校，在鼓励孩子探索
28、的自然环境中则很少发生。这让我想起了在Streatham的Sunnyhill学校里的不愉快的经历，学校里有粗糙的柏油碎石路，我常常躲在角落里幻想着外边的野生动植物。但是，因为健康和安全的原因，担心孩子们会把自己弄脏或让自己受伤，他们往往被阻止去接触自然环境。结果，这样做反而对他们造成了伤害：不是身体上受伤，而是心灵上受伤。G)现代儿童所面临的最重大的问题之一是多动症。越来越多的孩子已开始接受贵重的药物治疗。【48】但是。众多研究表明，与自然接触对患有多动症的孩子最有益。 虽然如此，我们还是把钱花在了药物上，而非绿色的生活空间上H)【49】如果老年人有接触大自然的机会， 他们的生活状况会明显改善
29、不少。随着老年人的增多，我们应该更多地关注他们的生活质量，雨不是生命年限。众多研究发现，花园是提高老年人生活质量唯一最重要的因素。I) 有证据显示，在更加广阔、更困难的地区生活时，自然环境能改善一切事物。甚至在与自然界接触时，和犯罪和攻击行为有关的问题也减少了。英国皇家鸟类保护协会的研究员William Bird博士在他的研究中有这样的陈述：【51】“自然环境能减少暴力行为，因为其恢复过程有助于减少愤怒和冲动。”为此，不管有多大作用，我们都应该多鼓励人们去野外走走。J) 我们倾向于把自然环境保护看作是人类赏给大自然的一种恩赐。l551但是，从深层次来理解，这种观念是不正确的：不仅人类本身就很需
30、要大自然， 而且这种把人类与自然界割裂矛来的观念是毁灭性的。人类是一种哺乳动物。700万年来，作为大自然的一部分，他们生活在这个星球上。人类天生眷恋着大自然，也渴望与身边的其他种类的生命接触。喜欢逗狗，抚摸小猫，坐树下喝一品脱啤酒，送人花束或接受花束，以及在天气好的时候去公园散步的朋友应该很清楚这一点。我们需要大自然，因为它对我们的快乐、健康和幸福至关重要。没有大自然，我们的文明只能倒退而无法前进。没有其他生物围绕在我们周围，我们也不能被称为人类。K)【54】五种与大自然和谐相处的方法散步：打破长久呆在屋檐下的节奏。提前一站下车，吃午餐时绕公园走一圈，让孩子徒步上下学，养狗，在流动的空气中放松
31、自己，观察，倾听和吸收。静坐：经常花些时间去露天场所坐一会儿。可以是花园，可以是办公室之外的其他地方，可以是住所外面的其他地方，总之，是远离自己日常工作生活的地方。坐在树下，看看水面，感觉神清气爽，如此也略微恢复了精神。喝酒：享受大自然最好的方式是一个人欣赏，其次是找个人陪同。和好朋友在外面喝一杯，好好聚一次：谈天论地，以阳光和风中的鸟声做伴。学习：扩大你的知识面。了解五种鸟类，五种蝴蝶，五种树木和五类鸟声。通过这种方式，你看多、听多了之后，心灵也会渐渐对生活中更多的自然现象作出反应。旅行：去你一直想去的地方：海边，乡下或小山坡。周末可以抽一天去那里，为观风景，为走那条林间小道，为听鸟儿的欢声
32、笑语，为看成群的蜜蜂。去一个特殊的地方，带特别的东西回来。毕竟，它会持续很久。46The study in Sweden shows that more access to nature makes children less likely to fall ill瑞典的研究说明更多接触大自然让孩子更可能少生病。【解析】 D)。细节题。根据句中关键词a study in Sweden定位至D)段首句。瑞典的一项研究显示，在自然环境中玩耍的幼儿园小朋友比在只习惯在正规运动场玩耍的小朋友少患病，身体也更健康。47The authorS profound belief is that people i
