2.Growing Minds Need Greener Spaces
It is not a secret that spending time outdoors is good for us.The more we learn about the benefits of being in nature,the more sense it makes to get outside.
(36)B New research suggests that kids may learn better when they are surrounded by  greener spaces.Green spaces are spaces filled with Vegetation-like trees,flowers and other  plants.
But these days,outdoor time is competing for a child's attention with indoor activities.Children may find it difficult to resist computers,television and electronic gaines.(37)FAll this indoor activity can hurt a child's physical and mental health.
Doctor Pavam Dadvalld and his team at the Centre for Research and Environmental  Epidemiology in Barcelona study the environment effects on health and learning.
The researchers used information from satellites to learn how much green space surrounded each schoo1.Over one year,the children took computerized tests fourtimes.(38)AThey found that the children with higher contact with green space had better ability to memorize.They were also more attentive.(39)G More trees means less air pollution.
(40)D Lisa Freund is an expert in child psychology for the National Institute of Child    Health and Human Development.She says more studies are needed to learn the reasons that  vegetation in and around schools improves mental ability.

A.They measured memory and attention span.
B.This could be especially important for school children.
C.Approximately one half of the world population lives in cities.
D.The question of why green spaces affect learning is a new one.
E.The researchers created mathematical models to compare the amount of vegetation.
F.So,in many pans of the world children are spending less and less time outdoors.
G.The research suggests good air quality is the main reason for the results.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了戶外活動(dòng)有益于身心健康.

解答 36.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)前文New research suggests that kids may learn better when they are surrounded by  greener spaces.Green spaces are spaces filled with Vegetation-like trees可知這對(duì)于學(xué)齡兒童尤其重要;故選B.
37.F.推理判斷題.空格前面的兩句But these days,outdoor time is competing for a child's attention with indoor activities.Children may find it difficult to resist computers,television and electronic gaines把戶外活動(dòng)和室內(nèi)活動(dòng)進(jìn)行了比較.空格處是對(duì)前面情況的闡釋.句意:孩子們?cè)趹敉膺\(yùn)動(dòng)中投入時(shí)間越來越少;故選F.
38.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)前文The researchers used information from satellites to learn how much green space surrounded each schoo1.Over one year,the children took computerized tests fourtimes可知一年間,孩子們進(jìn)行了四次計(jì)算機(jī)測(cè)試,測(cè)試關(guān)注的是孩子們的記憶力和專注力;故選A.
39.G.推理判斷題.根據(jù)前文They found that the children with higher contact with green space had better ability to memorize.They were also more attentive可知那些參與戶外活動(dòng)更多的孩子,記憶力和專注力更好.世界上近一半人口住在城市,綠地越多空氣污染越少;故選G.
40.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)后面兩句話Lisa Freund is an expert in child psychology for the National Institute of Child    Health and Human Development全是圍繞綠地面積對(duì)于學(xué)習(xí)的影響,所以,為什么綠色空間影響學(xué)習(xí)是一個(gè)新問題,確定答案D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀,和完形填空很類似,不同的是一個(gè)選詞,一個(gè)選句子.解題時(shí),要注意上下文語(yǔ)境,充分考慮信息詞(選項(xiàng)中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞),選出最符合語(yǔ)境的句子.
