Section B

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attach ed to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corre sponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

A Grassroots Remedy

A) 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 rather than inside the pub, hav e a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. T he most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don't run the streets. Every one of the minstinctively heads to the park or t he river. It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek n ature, whether we know we are doing so or not.

B) But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived ( 丧失) , I spent m y boyhood climbing trees on Stratham Common, south London. These days, children are r obbed 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 th at 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 had moved to b etter housing and the children were assessed for ADHD -- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( 多动症) .Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an imp rovement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.

D) A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natur al environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground. A U.S. study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school.

E) Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In pla ygrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough on es taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got muc

h more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and cre ativity.

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 e xplore. This reminds mean pleasantly of Sunny hill School in Stratham, with its harsh tar mac, where I used to hang about incomers fantasizing about wildlife. The children are fre quently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, f or fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damag e 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 nat ure gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather th an 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 qu antity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thi ng 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 beha vior are reduced when there is contact with the natural world. Dr. William Bird, researche r from the Royal Society for the Protection of birds, states in his study, "A natural envir onment 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 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 ne ed nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the natural world are separ able things is profoundly damaging. Human beings are 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 fl owers 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 le ss than human.

K) Five Ways to Find Harmony 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 lunc htime, 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 still in an open space. In the garden, anywhere that's 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 a drink outside with a good person, a good gathering: talk with the su n and the wind with bird-song for background.

Learn: Expand your boundaries. Leam five species of bird, five butterflies, five trees, f ive bird songs. That way, you see and hear more: and your mind responds gratefully to t he greater 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 specialn ess home. It lasts forever, after all.

46. The study in Sweden shows that more access to nature makes children less likely to fall ill.

47. The author's profound belief is that people instinctively seek nature in different w ays.

48. It can be very helpful to provide more green spaces for children with ADHD.

49. Elderly people will enjoy a life of better quality when they contact more with na ture.

50. Nowadays, people think things that can be bought are best for children, rather th an things that can be found.

51. Dr. William Bird suggests in his study that access to nature contributes to the re duction of violence.52. According to a study in the U. S. Children with ADHD whose ac commodation had more natural views showed much better improvement.

53. Children who have chances to explore natural areas are less likely to be involved in bullying.

54. We can find harmony with the natural world in various ways, among which there are walking,sitting, drinking, learning and traveling.

55. It is extremely harmful to think that humanity and the natural world can be separ ated.

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，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Streat ham 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。

46．The 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。

大学英语四级段落信息匹配题技巧

英语四、六级段落信息匹配题一、英语四级段落信息匹配题是什么？长篇阅读理解篇章后附有10个句子，每句一题。每句所含的信息出自篇章的某一段落，要求考生找出与每句所含信息相匹配的段落。有的段落可能对应两题，有的段落可能不对应任何一题。四级考试需要各位同学做的是，大家需要去看十个左右的段落，然后去匹配十个信息点。但是到六级当中，我们的难度就要增加了，我们见到的情况是六级当中变成了15个段落，去匹配十个信息点。但总体来看，不管题型怎么变，其实学习方法没变，还是仍旧需要大家提高阅读的能力，比如说读文章的时候，是不是直接拿英语读，如果读快速阅读的时候，还是拿中文边翻译边读的话，会发现阅读速度一直会比较慢，所以那么长的文章很难找到细节，所以大家一定要养成拿英语直接阅读的这样一种习惯，这样才能保证我们的阅读速度又快又准。二、信息匹配题难点分析 1. 考生难以按照阅读题一贯遵循的“顺序原则”解题。由于这一题型要求考生把细节信息与其所在的段落进行匹配，因此细节信息的排列绝对是“乱序的”，这就意味着考生从文章开头到结尾按顺序定位的方法是行不通的。

2. 题干信息复杂，考生难以迅速抓住要领。题干中的细节信息通常是极复杂和繁琐的名词短语或长难句，考生往往在寻找到合适的定位词之前，就已经被题干信息的复杂表述弄得晕头转向了。 3. 考生难以寻找到合适的定位词。即使考生能够读懂题干中晦涩难懂的细节信息，但也会在寻找定位词时遇到很大障碍。因为题干提供的细节信息中往往不会出现非常明显的定位词(如数字、时间、地点、人物、特殊字体和特殊符号等)。即使考生能够找到一个定位词，这一定位词也

通常和文章主题密切相关，会在文章中多次出现，因而也没有太大的意义。三、匹配题出题特点及应试技巧匹配类题型有很多种，常见的种类有：1）人名-观点匹配；2）.地名-描述匹配；3）句子-句子匹配；4）分类题(Classification)；5）段落-标题匹配；6段落-细节匹配。其中前四种做题方法比较类似，而后两种相对较复杂。这里将阐述前四种题型的做题方法。 1. 扭转做题思维

Passage1 Reading leadership literature, you’d sometimes think that everyone has the potential to be an effective leader. 读领导文学，你有时会认为每个人都有可能成为一个有效的领导者。 I don’t believe that to be true. In fact, I see way fewer truly effective leaders than I see people stuck in positions of leadership who arc sadly incompetent and seriously misguided about their own abilities. 我不相信这是真的。事实上，我认为真正有效的领导者的方式比我看到的人都陷在领导的职位上，遗憾的是他们自己的能力不称职，严重误导了他们。 Part of the reason this happens is a lack of honest self-assessment by those who aspire to（追求）leadership in the first place. 对产生这种现象的原因一部分是由那些渴望缺乏诚实的自我评估（追求）放在首位的领导 We've all met the type of individual who simply must take charge.

长篇阅读——匹配题 Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. Passage 1 Paper — More than Meets the Eye A) We are surrounded by so much paper and card that it is easy to forget just how complex it is. There are many varieties and grades of paper materials, and it is fairly easy to spot the varieties, it is far more difficult to spot the grades. B) It needs to be understood that most paper and card is manufactured for a specific purpose, so that whilst the corn-flake packet may look smart, it is clearly not something destined for the archives. It is made to look good, but only needs a limited life span. It is also much cheaper to manufacture than high grade card. C) Paper can be made from an almost endless variety of cellulose（纤维素化合物）-based material which will include many woods, cottons and grasses of which is an example and from where we get the word "paper". Many of these are very specialized, but the of paper making has been from soft wood and cotton or , with the bulk being wood-based. Paper from Wood D) In order to make wood into paper it needs to be broken down into fine strands. Firstly by powerful and then boiled with strong alkalies(碱) such as caustic soda, until a fine of fibers is produced. It is from this pulp that the final product is made, relying on the bonding together of the cellulose into layers. That, in a very small nutshell, is the essence of paper making from wood. However, the reality is rather more complicated. In order to give us our white paper and card, the makers will add and other materials such as china clay and additional chemicals. E) A further problem with wood is that it contains a material that is not cellulose. Something called . This is essential for the tree since it holds the cellulose fibres together, but if it is incorporated into the manufactured paper it presents archivists with a problem. Lignin eventually breaks down and releases acid products into the paper. This will weaken the bond between the cellulose fibers and the paper will become brittle and look rather brown and careworn. We have all seen this in old newspapers and cheap paperback books. It has been estimated that most paperback books will have a life of no greater than fifty years, not what we need for our archives. F) Since the lignin can be removed from the paper pulp during manufacture, the obvious question is "why is it left in the paper". The answer lies in the fact that lignin makes up a considerable part of the tree. By leaving the lignin in the pulp a papermaker can increase his paper yield from a tree to some 95%. Removing it means a yield of only 35%. It is clearly uneconomic to remove the lignin for many paper and card applications. It also means, of course, that lignin-free paper is going to be more expensive. G) However, it is nevertheless what the must look for in his supplies. There is no point whatsoever in carefully placing our valuable artifacts in paper or card that is going to their . Acid is particularly harmful to photographic materials, causing them to fade and in some cases simply vanish! H) So, how do we tell a piece of suitable paper or card from one that is unsuitable You cannot do it by simply looking, and rather disappointingly, you cannot always rely on the label. "Acid-free" might be true inasmuch as a test on the paper may indicate that it is a neutral material at this time. But lignin can take years before it starts the inevitable process of breaking down, and in the right conditions it will speed up enormously. I) Added to this, as I have indicated earlier, paper may also contain other materials added during manufacture such as bleach, china clay, chemical whiteners and size. This looks like a bleak picture, and it would be but for the fact that there are suppliers who will

2019英语四级长篇阅读段落信息匹配题及答案解析(9) Deborah Kenny's "Born to Rise" Tells Story of Harlem Village Academies A) Deborah Kenny, CEO of the Harlem Village Academies, is frustrated with the nation's current education system. Unlike most, though, she decided to do something about it. Part declaration part record, her book Born to Rise writes down her journey toward creating and running her own system of progressive charter schools in Harlem in New York City. What is your educational philosophy? B) We want our students to receive the same high-quality education as students who are privileged to attend the best private schools in the country. Personally, I believe a progressive education is superior as long as it's delivered by really smart, talented teachers who know how to execute well. It's a sophisticated approach that really only works well in the hands of a really sophisticated educator. We're dealing with a little bit of a challenge because students enter this school from the regular public system. And when they enter in fifth grade, they're not yet well-trained in the basics reading, writing, and math--which means that we have to catch them up on basic math skills, on the 'basics of writing. And many of them come in at a kindergarten, first, second-grade level in reading. So we have to accelerate their mastery of the basics, but we reject the idea that if you do that you can't teach that at a high level. We push ourselves constantly to think about how we can make sure that our students will catch up while we teach at the highest possible

英语四级阅读题库含答案解析

英语四级阅读题库含答案解析 1.Passage One Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but regardless of whether it is or isn’t –we won’t do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn-sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed. Al Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth,” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don’t know enough to relieve global warming, and –without major technological breakthroughs—we can’t do much about it. From 2003 to 2050, the world’s population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. but that’s too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the world’s poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone else‘s living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050. No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show they’re “doing something.” Consider the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn’t. But it hasn’t reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories (签字国) didn’t adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets. The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it. The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when it’s really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don’t solve the engineering problem, we’re helpless. 57. What is said about global warming in the first paragraph? A) It may not prove an environmental crisis at all. B) It is an issue requiring world wide commitments. C) Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it. D) Very little will be done to bring it under control. 58. According to the author’s understanding, what is Al Gore’s view on global warming? A) It is a reality both people and politicians are unaware of. B) It is a phenomenon that causes us many inconveniences. C) It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized. D) It is an area we actually have little knowledge about. 59. Green house emissions will more than double by 2050 because of _______. A) economic growth B) the widening gap between the rich and poor C) wasteful use of energy D) the rapid advances of science and technology
