ㅤAs cities balloon with growth,access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find.If you're lucky,there might be a pocket park near where you live,but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.ㅤPast research has found health and wellness benefits of nature for humans,but a new study shows that wildness in urban areas is extremely important for human well-being.ㅤThe research team focused on a large urban park.They surveyed several hundred park -goers,asking them to submit a written summary online of a meaningful interaction they had with nature in the park.The researchers then examined these submissions,coding (编码) experiences into different categories.For example,one participant's experience of "We sat and listened to the waves at the beach for a while" was assigned the categories "sitting at beach" and "listening to waves."ㅤAcross the 320 submissions,a pattern of categories the researchers call a "nature language" began to emerge.After the coding of all submissions,half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors.These include encountering wildlife,walking along the edge of water,and following an established trail.ㅤNaming each nature experience creates a usable language,which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them.For example,the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park.Back downtown during a workday,they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.ㅤ"We're trying to generate a language that helps bring the human-nature interactions back into our daily lives.And for that to happen,we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it," said Peter Kahn,a senior author of the study.(1)What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? ____ A.Pocket parks are now popular.B.Wild nature is hard to find in cities.C.Many cities are overpopulated.D.People enjoy living close to nature.(2)Why did the researchers code participant submissions into categories? ____ A.To compare different types of park-goers.B.To explain why the park attracts tourists.C.To analyze the main features of the park.D.To find patterns in the visitors' summaries.(3)What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 5? ____ A.Walking is the best way to gain access to nature.B.Young people are too busy to interact with nature.C.The same nature experience takes different forms.D.The nature language enhances work performance.(4)What should be done before we can interact with nature according to Kahn? ____ A.Language study.B.Environmental conservation.C.Public education.D.Intercultural communication.

题目解答
答案
(1)细节理解题。根据第一段As cities balloon with growth,access to nature for people living in urban areas is becoming harder to find.If you're lucky,there might be a pocket park near where you live,but it's unusual to find places in a city that are relatively wild.(随着城市的飞速发展,生活在城市地区的人们越来越难接触到大自然。如果幸运的话,你住的地方附近可能有一个袖珍公园,但在城市里找到相对野生的地方是不寻常的。)可知第一段作者描述的现象是:在城市里很难找到野生的大自然。故选B。
(2)推理判断题。根据第四段Across the 320 submissions,a pattern of categories the researchers call a "nature language" began to emerge.After the coding of all submissions,half a dozen categories were noted most often as important to visitors.These include encountering wildlife,walking along the edge of water,and following an established trail.(在320份提交的材料中,研究人员称之为"自然语言"的类别模式开始出现。在对所有提交的文件进行编码后,有六个类别对访问者来说最重要。其中包括遇到野生动物,沿着水边行走,以及沿着既定的小径行走。)可知研究人员将参与者提交的材料分类是为了找到"自然语言"的类别模式,也就是发现游客总结的模式。故选D。
(3)推理判断题。根据第五段Naming each nature experience creates a usable language,which helps people recognize and take part in the activities that are most satisfying and meaningful to them.For example,the experience of walking along the edge of water might be satisfying for a young professional on a weekend hike in the park.Back downtown during a workday,they can enjoy a more domestic form of this interaction by walking along a fountain on their lunch break.(命名每一种自然体验都会创造出一种可用的语言,帮助人们识别并参与对他们来说最满意、最有意义的活动。例如,对于周末在公园徒步旅行的年轻专业人士来说,沿着水边散步的体验可能会令人满意。在工作日回到市中心,他们可以通过午休时沿着喷泉散步。)可知,同样的自然体验有不同的形式。故选C。
(4)细节理解题。根据最后一段And for that to happen,we also need to protect nature so that we can interact with it,"said Peter Kahn,a senior author of the study.(为了实现这一点,我们还需要保护自然,以便与之互动,"该研究的资深作者彼得•卡恩说。)可知,我们在和自然互动之前应该保护自然。故选B。
