A. benefits AC. identifying B. necessarily AD. exposure C. findings BC. approved D. grateful BD. analysis AB. frequently CD. related A new study found that inner-city kids living in neighborhoods with more green space gained about 13% less weight over a two-year period than kids living among more concrete and fewer trees. Such 41 tell a powerful story. The obesity epidemic (肥胖病) began in the 1980s, and many people hold the view that the improper diet and lack of activity contribute to the disease, but that can’t be everything. Fast foods and TVs have been with us for a long time. ―Most experts agree that the changes were 42 to something in the environment,‖ says social epidemiologist Thomas Glass of The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. That something could be a shrinking of the green. The new research, published in the American Journal of Preventive medicine, isn’t the first to associate greenery with better health, but it does get us closer to 43 what works and why. It’s clear that a green neighborhood means more places for kids to play—which is vital since time spent outdoors is one of the strongest connection of children’s activity levels. But green space is good for the mind too: research by environmental psychologists has shown that it has mental 44 for children with attention-deficit disorder (注意力缺乏症). In one study, just reading outside in a green setting improved kids’ symptoms. The study indicates that 45 to grassy areas has also been linked to less stress and a lower body mass index (体重指数) among adults. And an 46 of 3,000 Tokyo residents associated green spaces with greater long life among senior citizens. However, Thomas Glass points out that most studies don’t 47 prove a causal link between greenness and health, but they’re helping stimulate action. In September the U.S. House of Representatives 48 a proposal, the delightfully named No Child Left Inside Act to encourage public projects aimed at exposing kids to the outdoors. Finding green space is not always easy, and you may have to work a bit to get your family a little grass and trees. If you live in the countryside or a city with good parks, take advantage of what’s there. Your children in particular will love it—and their bodies and minds will be 49 to you.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us. When humans first 50 , they were like newborn children, unable to use this 51 tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kind’s future achievements and cultural growth increased.
Many language experts believe that evolution is 52 for our ability to produce and use language. They 53 that our highly evolved brain provides us with an innate (inborn:天生的) language ability not found in lower organisms (生物，有机体). Those who support this innateness theory say that our 54 for language is inborn, but that language develops
gradually, as a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical 55 time for language development.
Current 56 of innateness theory are mixed; however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities can not be denied. 57 , more and more schools (流派) are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 58 grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being 59 to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 60 of their first language have become firmly fixed.
61 some aspects of language are innate, language does not develop automatically of itself. Children who have been 62 from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that interaction or communication with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some language experts believe that this is even more basic to human language acquisition (习得) than any innate abilities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior. 63 , children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by giving 64 feedback to precise imitations and negative feedback to imprecise ones. 50. A. produced B. evolved 51.
