While there are certainly happy memories tied up in the wedding ring you and your spouse (配偶) purchased together years ago or your teddy bear from childhood, new research finds that we typically feel calmer and experience a greater sense of wellbeing when we focus on a place that reminds us of happier times rather than a thing, even if it holds great value.The report, called Places That Make Us, was conducted by National Trusts and Surrey Universitys researchers. Experts performed functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (磁共振成像) scans on 20 volunteers and conducted an online survey of 2,000 people to better understand this deep draw toward special places.“Working with leading researchers and academics, and using cuttingedge MRI brain technology, we examined how places affect people, how they become special, and why we feel a pull towards them，”explained Nino Strachey, head of research for the National Trust.The 20 volunteers were shown images of landscapes, houses, and other locations, as well as personally meaningful objects. Measuring their brain activity, the researchers found that it was the places, as opposed to the objects, that caused the brain to get the most excited.Volunteers were also interviewed at great length two times, once at home and the other time at their special place. The research made discoveries that had never known before the favorite places awoke feelings of belonging, physical and emotional safety, and an intense internal pull to the place.Dr. Andy Myers weighed_in_on the research, saying, “For the first time we have been able to prove the physical and emotional benefits of places, far beyond any research that has been done before.”體裁：說明文題材：幸福主題：回憶美好時(shí)光提升幸福感【解題導(dǎo)語】文章介紹了回憶某個(gè)與美好時(shí)光相關(guān)的地方時(shí)，我們會(huì)感到平靜，幸福感也更加強(qiáng)烈?！倦y句分析】Measuring their brain activity，the researchers found that it was the places，as opposed to the objects，that caused the brain to get the most excited.分析：這是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。the researchers found是主句，it was the places, as opposed to the objects，that caused the brain to get the most excited是賓語從句。Measuring their brain activity是非謂語動(dòng)詞作狀語，it was. that.是強(qiáng)調(diào)句式。譯文：通過檢測(cè)他們的大腦活動(dòng)，研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)能使大腦最為興奮的是這些地方，而不是物品。1How was the research conducted?ABy performing MRI on 2,000 volunteers.BBy measuring the participants brain by MRI.CBy doing rough interviews with the participants.DBy showing meaningful objects to the participants.答案與解析：B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Experts performed. on 20 volunteers”和第三段中的“using cuttingedge MRI brain technology”可知，研究者使用磁共振成像檢查技術(shù)對(duì)參與者的大腦進(jìn)行檢測(cè)，故選B項(xiàng)。2How would the author feel about the findings of the study?AIt is pioneering. BIt is groundless.CIt is imperfect. DIt is uncommon.答案與解析：A考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的“The research made discoveries that had never known before”可知，該研究的發(fā)現(xiàn)是前所未有的，故pioneering“開創(chuàng)性的，先驅(qū)的”符合題意。3What does the underlined phrase “weighed in on” mean?AThink highly of. BLook down on.CPay attention to. DMake fun of.答案與解析：A考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)最后一段Dr. Andy Myers的話“For the first time we have been able to prove the physical and emotional benefits of places, far beyond any research that has been done before”可推知，Dr. Andy Myers認(rèn)為這個(gè)研究開辟了先河，比之前的任何研究都好，所以對(duì)它“高度評(píng)價(jià)”。4What does the text mainly talk about?AEveryone has his way to be happy.BValuable places can make people happy.CTeddy bears are best memories for children.DMeaningful objects lead to greater wellbeing.答案與解析：B考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“new research finds that we typically feel calmer and experience a greater sense of wellbeing when we focus on a place that reminds us of happier times rather than a thing”及下文的內(nèi)容可知，本文主要講的是與某件物品相比，當(dāng)我們集中精神回憶某個(gè)與美好時(shí)光相關(guān)的地方時(shí)，我們尤其會(huì)感到平靜，幸福感也更加強(qiáng)烈。所以選B項(xiàng)。B2019陜西省摸底檢測(cè)Scientists are preparing to launch the worlds first machine to clean up the planets largest mass of ocean plastic.The experts believe the machine should be able to collect half of the detritus in the patch about 40,000 metric tons within five years. In the past few weeks they have been busy welding together giant tubes that will sit on the surface of the sea and form the skeleton of the machine, creating the largest floating barrier ever made.The system, originally dreamt up by Mr. Slat, will be shipped out this summer to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, between Hawaii and California, which contains estimated 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic. It will be the first ever attempt to tackle the patch since it was discovered in 1997.Mr. Slat was 16 and still at school when he was diving in Greece and first saw for himself the amount of plastic polluting the sea. “There were more bags than fish down there，” he recalls. Two years later he came up with a solution, quit university after six months and set up The Ocean Cleanup as a company. Mr. Slat says the first plastic to arrive on shore will be a major milestone. “We as humanity created this problem, so I think its also our responsibility to help solve it，” he says.The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) covers an area of 1.6 million square kilometers and contains at least 79,000 tons of plastic, research found last month. Most of it is made up of “ghost gear” parts of abandoned and lost fishing gear, such as nets and ropes often from illegal fishing vessels.Ghost gear kills more than 100,000 whales, dolphins and seals each year, according to scientific surveys. Seabirds and other marine life are increasingly being found dead with stomachs full of small pieces of plastic. Creatures eat plastic discarded in the sea thinking its food but then starve to death because they are not feeding properly. Others are trapped and die of starvation or are strangled or suffocated by ghost gear.體裁：說明文題材：生態(tài)環(huán)保主題：世界首個(gè)海洋垃圾清掃機(jī)【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了世界首個(gè)海洋垃圾清掃機(jī)的發(fā)明?！倦y句分析】In the past few weeks they have been busy welding together giant tubes that will sit on the surface of the sea and form the skeleton of the machine, creating the largest floating barrier ever made.分析：這是一個(gè)主從復(fù)合句。that引導(dǎo)定語從句，在從句中充當(dāng)主語，指代前面的giant tubes；and連接定語從句中的兩個(gè)并列謂語；現(xiàn)在分詞短語“creating the largest floating barrier ever made”作狀語。譯文：過去幾周，他們一直在忙于將大型管道焊接在一起，這些管道將被放在海面上，構(gòu)成機(jī)器的骨架，創(chuàng)建出有史以來最大的浮動(dòng)屏障。5What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?AWaste. BOcean.CSystem.
