To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside 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 them instinctively heads to the park or the river. 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.But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my boyhood climbing trees on Streatham mon, South London. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, 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.The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHDattention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose acmodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground. A US study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school.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 fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎石) playground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with its harsh tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners fantasising about wildlife.But 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 is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.One of the great problems of modern 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 spend money on drugs rather than on green places.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 important thing in finding that quality.In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour because its restorative process helps reduce anger and impulsive behaviour.” Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.We tend to look on nature conservation as some kind of favour 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.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.56. What is the authors profound belief?A. People instinctively seek nature in different ways.B. People should spend most of their lives in the wild.C. People have quite different perceptions of nature. D. People must make more efforts to study nature.57. What does the author say people prefer for their children nowadays?A. Personal freedom. B. Things that are natural.C. Urban surroundings. D. Things that are purchased.58. Children who have chances to explore natural areas _.A. tend to develop a strong love for scienceB. are more likely to fantasise about wildlifeC. tend to be physically tougher in adulthood D. are less likely to be involved in bullying59. What does the author suggest we do to help children with ADHD?A. Find more effective drugs for them.B. Engage them in more meaningful activities.C. Place them under more personal care.D. Provide more green spaces for them. 60. In what way do elderly people benefit from their contact with nature?A. They look on life optimistically. B. They are able to live longer.C. They enjoy a life of better quality. D.They bee good-humoured.61. Dr William Bird suggests in his study that _.A. humanity and nature are plementary to each otherB. access to nature contributes to the reduction of violenceC. wild places may induce impulsive behaviour in peopleD. it takes a long time to restore nature once damaged B. Profound facts show that the left-side of the brain processes much of what is heard in the right ear. If you want to get someone to do something, ask them on their right sides, say scientists. Italian researchers found people were better at processing information when requests were made on right side in three separate tests. They believe this is because the left side of the brain, which is known to be better at processing requests, deals with information from the right ear. The findings are reported online in the journal Naturwissenschaffen. We can also see this tendency when people use the phone. Most will naturally hold it to their right ears. Professor Sophie Scott, of University College London, agreed. In the first study, 286 clubbers were observed while they were talking with loud music in the background. In total, 72% of interactions occurred on the right sides of the listeners. In the second study, researchers approached 160 clubbers, spoke in a low voice and waited for the subjects(实验对象) to turn their heads and offer either their left or right ears. They then asked them for a piece of paper. Overall, 58% offered their right ears for listening and 42% their left. In the third study, the researchers intentionally spoke to 176 clubbers in either their right or their left ears when asking for a piece of paper. The researchers obtained significantly more paper when they spoke to the clubbers right ears pared with their left. In conclusion, the researchers said: Talking into the right ear, you send your words into the part of the brain which is slightly more logic-based. The right side of the brain is more involved in things such as interpreting(诠释) emotion, and that is why we have this kind of findings. 62. The best title for the passage is _.A. The Left Side of the Brain Controls the Right Side of the BodyB. Right Ears Are Better for HearingC. A New Finding about HearingD. Differences Between Left and Right Brains63. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Scientists studied 286 clubbers altogether to prove their theory.B. Most people hold the phone to their rightC. About 42% of people use their left ear for listening when talking on the phone.D. Professor Sophie Scott led the study.64. From the passage we can infer that _. A. most people process language in the rightB. the right ear is more involved in emotional thinkingC. the right side of the brain is more logic-basedD. the left side of the brain deals with demands better than the right side of brain65. The passage develops with _. A. topic evidence conclusion B. evidence conclusionC. conclusion evidence D. evidence conclusion analysis CIts researched that when watched humans switch from selfish to unselfish behaviour. Do you?A picture of a set of eyes on a puter screen can cause a change in the way people act. Even images of eyes on a charity donation, collection box encourage people to be unselfish, because people put more money in a collection box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the box.Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany and Bettina Rockenbach of the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study, found that people act better when they are being watched because they feel they will be rewarded for good behaviour. Their report also referred to other research showing that this response of behaving well when watched is somehow coded into humans and people respond this way unconsciously, or without realising it.It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched. A fish called the grooming fish cleans other fish. When other fish are around, it is gentler. When no other fish are around, however, the grooming fish bites chunks from the fish which is supposed to be cleaned.The researchers suggest that the best way to get people to behave in the correct way is to make them feel watched. This could be the reason for the success of a famous American army poster. On it was a picture of an elderly man staring fiercely and pointing, it appeared, to the person who was looking at the poster. Under the picture was the caption I Want You. It encouraged hundreds of thousands of young American men to join the army during the Second World War to fight the Germans and Japanese.66According to the report, why does a person behave better when he feels he is being watched?AHe does not want to be shamed by others.BHe needs to show he is a good person.C He desires others to like him more.DHe feels he will receive some social reward.67The underlined word coded (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to .Ahidden Bprogrammed Cforgotten Dleaned68What is the text mainly about?AIt describes changed behaviour when observed. BIt details ways to control peoples behaviour.CIt tells how to make people work harder. DIt discusses different advertising methods.69According to the text, which of the following statements is true?APeople pretend to behave better when they are watched.BFish bite other fish in a fish tank when they are alone.CPeople donate more money when they feel they are watched.DSoldiers fought better during World War II because of a poster.70Where would the study described in the text most likely be found?AIn a newspaper. BIn a scientific journal.CIn an advertising magazine. DIn a science textbook.二卷 （请做在答题纸相应的题号后）第五部分 根据首字母或中文提示填写单词：(0.510)1.To my _ (好笑)，he couldnt open the door.2.
