When my editors asked me to report on forest bathing, I packed a swimsuit. I assumed it must involve getting in the water. It turns out that my interpretation was too literal.
I met certified Forest Therapy (治疗) guide Melanie Choukas Bradley at an urban forest in Washington, D. C. Here, I began to get it. Forest bathing isn't a bath or a hike. We did walk the forest trails, but we wandered with no particular destination in mind.
“The aim of forest bathing,” Choukas Bradley explained, “is to slow down and throw oneself in the natural environment.” She helped us be aware of the smells, tastes and sights of the forest. We took in our surroundings by using all our senses. As we passed through a stand of trees, we touched the trunks. We smelled the black walnuts, which give off a lovely fragrance (香气). We got a little shower of ripe mulberries, too. “Close your eyes and just breathe,” Choukas Bradley told us. After I opened my eyes, the green looked a lot greener. And I began to see things I hadn't noticed before.
“A forest guide helps us be here, not there,” says Amos Clifford, the founder of the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, the organization that certifies the guides. They support what the forests could offer us, inviting us into practices that deepen physical presence, pleasure, and partnership with nature. When we connect with nature in this way, we are connecting with ourselves.
Clifford's goal is to encourage health care providers to integrate forest therapy as a stress reduction strategy. In the United States, work related stress accounts for up to $190 billion in health care costs each year. “It's my hope that the health care system will include forest therapy into the range of services,” Clifford says.
1. What is forest bathing
A. A hike up the mountain. B. An adventure in the woods.
C. A swimming in open water. D. A guided nature healing practice.
2. How can we benefit from forest bathing
A. By improving our awareness.
B. By doing intense training.
C. By experiencing nature mindfully.
D. By carrying out eyesight tests.
3. What can a guide help forest bathers do
A. Locate and pick ripe fruits.
B. Put exercise plans into action.
C. Identify different trees and birds.
D. Concentrate on the surrounding nature.
4. What can we learn from Clifford's words in the last paragraph
A. Health care system needs updating.
B. Nature based therapy costs too much.
C. Stress related diseases are commonly seen.
D. Forest therapy could be an alternative treatment.
答案及解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“森林浴”这一自然治愈实践的概念、过程和益处，以及将其纳入医疗保健体系的潜力。
1. D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Forest bathing isn't a bath or a hike. We did walk the forest trails, but we wandered with no particular destination in mind.(森林浴既不是洗澡也不是徒步旅行。是人们在森林小路上无特定目的地的散步。)”和第三段中的“‘The aim of forest bathing,’ Choukas Bradley explained, ‘is to slow down and throw oneself in the natural environment.’ (Choukas Bradley解释说：‘森林浴的目的是放慢脚步，投身于自然环境中。’)”可推知，森林浴是一种在自然环境中，由疗养师引导的自然治愈实践，而不是爬山、林间冒险或开放水域游泳。故选D。
2. C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She helped us be aware of the smells, tastes and sights of the forest. We took in our surroundings by using all our senses.(她帮助我们了解到森林的气味、味道和景色。我们用所有的感官来感受周围的环境。)”和第四段中的“They support what the forests could offer us, inviting us into practices that deepen physical presence, pleasure, and partnership with nature. When we connect with nature in this way, we are connecting with ourselves.(他们证实了森林能给我们提供的东西，邀请我们进行实践，以加深身体的感知、愉悦感以及与自然的伙伴关系。当我们以这种方式与自然联系时，我们就是在与自己联系。)”可知，我们通过全身心地感受自然，从森林浴中获益。故选C。
3. D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She helped us be aware of the smells, tastes and sights of the forest. We took in our surroundings by using all our senses.(她帮助我们了解到森林的气味、味道和景色。我们用所有的感官来感受周围的环境。)”和第四段中的“A forest guide helps us be here, not there(森林疗养师帮助我们专注于这里，而不是其他地方)”可知，森林疗养师可以帮助森林浴者专注于周围的自然环境，而不是其他地方。故选D。
4. D　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Clifford's goal is to encourage health care providers…‘It's my hope that the health care system will include forest therapy into the range of services,’ Clifford says.(Clifford的目标是鼓励医疗保健提供者将森林疗法作为一种减压策略。在美国，与工作相关的压力每年造成高达
1 900亿美元的医疗保健费用。‘我希望医疗保健系统能将森林疗法纳入服务范围，’Clifford说。)”可知，Clifford建议医疗保健系统能将森林疗法纳入服务范围，说明他认为森林疗法可以作为一种替代治疗方法。故选D。

Vitamin D was recognized a century ago as the cure for rickets, a childhood disease that causes weak bones. Then, in the early 2000s, a pile of studies suggested that low vitamin D levels could be a factor in cancer, cardiovascular (心血管) disease, Parkinson's disease and so on. This simple vitamin seemed to be a cure for whatever troubled us. However, all these observational studies have a fundamental weakness: They can identify a co occurrence between vitamin D and a disease, but they can't prove there is a cause and effect relation.
To look at whether taking vitamin D had curative effects, Manson and her team started the world's largest and most far reaching randomized vitamin D trial. The study followed nearly 26,000 healthy adults, randomized to receive either 2,000 international units (IU) of vitamin D or a placebo (安慰剂), for an average of 5.3 years. The volunteers were almost evenly split between men and women, and 20 percent of the participants were black.
The results came as a shock. Not only did vitamin D not reduce rates of cancer or heart disease, but the trial also found that vitamin D did not prevent or improve cognitive function, or reduce the risk of bone fractures (骨折). The finding about fractures “was a real surprise to many people,” Manson says.
In 2011, the Institute of Medicine established an expert committee to conduct a thorough analysis of all existing studies on vitamin D and health. The committee concluded that the bone strengthening benefits of vitamin D remain steady when blood levels reach 12 to 16 nanograms per milliliter. They also found that there were no benefits to having levels above 20 ng/ml. According to measurements of vitamin D levels in the general U. S. population, most had levels of 20 ng/ml or more in 2011. Levels have actually risen since then, meaning that most people don't need to take extra vitamin D.
The ups and downs of vitamin D offer a lesson in humility. The relation between the vitamin and disease is far more complicated than it first seemed and a reminder that scientific understanding is always developing over time.
5. What was the problem with the early studies regarding vitamin D
A. No related cases were involved. B. They lacked convincing evidence.
C. No observation was conducted. D. They failed to account for anything.
6. Why were 20 percent of the participants black in Manson's trial
A. To identify vitamin D related disease. B. To help solve the problems they faced.
C. To make their findings more reliable. D. To show their respect for the minority.
7. What do we know about the findings in paragraphs 3 and 4
A. They proved vitamin D was the cure for disease.
B. They revealed that vitamin D made no difference.
C. They came as no surprise to Manson and her team.
D. They updated people's knowledge about vitamin D.
8. What should we realize from the ups and downs of vitamin D
A. Scientific understanding is dynamic.
B. We should not believe the old theories.
C. Research into vitamins is worthwhile.
D. Some diseases are practically incurable.
答案及解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同时期维生素D对人体健康的最新研究发现。
5. B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, all these observational studies have a fundamental weakness: They can identify a co occurrence between vitamin D and a disease, but they can't prove there is a cause and effect relation.(然而，所有这些观察性研究都有一个根本的弱点：它们可以确定维生素D和某种疾病之间的共现，但它们不能证明两者之间存在因果关系。)”可知，先前的研究无法证明缺少维生素D会导致某种疾病的发生，缺乏有力的实验证据。故选B。
6. C　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“To look at whether taking vitamin D had curative effects, Manson and her team started the world's largest and most far reaching randomized vitamin D trial.(为了研究服用维生素D是否有疗效，曼森和她的团队开始了世界上规模最大、影响最深远的随机维生素D试验。)”以及本段最后一句“The volunteers were almost evenly split between men and women, and 20 percent of the participants were black.(志愿者中男女几乎各占一半，20%的参与者是黑人。)”可推知，曼森的试验中有20%的黑人参与者是为了使实验数据更广泛，从而使得结果更可靠。故选C。
7. D　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The results came as a shock. Not only did vitamin D not reduce rates of cancer or heart disease, but the trial also found that vitamin D did not prevent or improve cognitive function, or reduce the risk of bone fractures (骨折). (结果令人震惊。维生素D不仅不能降低患癌症或心脏病的概率，而且试验还发现，维生素D不能预防或改善认知功能，也不能降低骨折的风险。)”以及第四段中的“They also found that there were no benefits…meaning that most people don't need to take extra vitamin D. (他们还发现，浓度超过20纳克/毫升没有任何好处。根据对美国普通人群维生素D水平的测量，2011年大多数人的维生素D水平为20纳克/毫升或更高。从那以后，维生素D的含量实际上有所上升，这意味着大多数人不需要额外服用维生素D。)”可推知，第三段和第四段的发现更新了人们对维生素D的认识。故选D。
8. A　细节理解题。根据最后一段“The ups and downs of vitamin D offer a lesson in humility. The relation between the vitamin and disease is far more complicated than it first seemed and a reminder that scientific understanding is always developing over time.(维生素D的起起落落给我们上了一堂谦卑的课。这一种维生素和疾病之间的关系比最初看起来要复杂得多，它提醒我们，科学认识总是随着时间的推移而发展的。)”可知，从对于维生素D认识的起起落落这件事上，我们应该意识到科学理解是发展变化的。故选A。

答案及解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于吃葡萄对视力有益的科学研究结果。
1. a　考查冠词。句意：每个人都知道每天吃胡萝卜对我们的视力有好处。此处是固定搭配：on a daily basis意为“每天”。故填a。
2. beneficial　考查形容词。句意：一项新的研究表明，葡萄对我们的眼睛也有好处。空前是系动词，所以空处应填形容词作表语，benefit的形容词形式是beneficial，此处be beneficial to为固定短语，意为“对……有益”。故填beneficial。
3. published　考查非谓语动词。句意；这项发表在科学杂志《食物与功能》上的研究调查了经常食用葡萄对眼睛健康的好处。本句已有谓语动词investigated，所以publish用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语The study之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填published。
4. consumption　考查名词。句意同上。空前是形容词，所以空处应填名词作介词of的宾语，consume的名词形式是consumption。故填consumption。
5. particularly　考查副词。句意：对于年龄较大的人来说尤其如此。此处需要用副词修饰副词so，particular的副词形式是particularly。故填particularly。
6. on　考查介词。句意：葡萄对人类的眼睛健康有积极的影响，这是令人非常兴奋的，尤其是对老年人来说。此处是固定搭配：have an impact on意为“对……有影响”。故填on。
7. to reveal　考查非谓语动词。句意；我们的研究是第一个揭示这一点的。本句是固定搭配：“be＋序数词＋to do sth.”意为“第几个做某事”。故填to reveal。
8. was designed　考查动词时态、语态及主谓一致。句意：这项研究涉及34名成年人，旨在测试葡萄的效果。本句是and连接的并列谓语，design和主语The study之间是被动关系，用被动语态，根据involved可知，用一般过去时，主语是第三人称单数。故填was designed。
9. Having conducted　考查非谓语动词。句意：在16周的时间里进行了一系列实验后，金博士发现，吃葡萄的人视网膜周围的肌肉力量增强了，视网膜的功能是通过电信号将光的信息传递给大脑。本句已有谓语动词found，所以conduct用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语Dr. Kim之间是主动关系，根据时间状语over a span of 16 weeks可知，状语动作发生在主句之前，用现在分词完成式，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Having conducted。
10. whose　考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是retina，在从句中作function的定语，用whose引导。故填whose。
