根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?
We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.”____36____ According to recent studies, the answer is a big YES, if the air quality in your camping area is good.
___37___ If the air you’re breathing is clean—which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities—then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉) and your brain.
Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). _____38_____ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead. ______39______ It gives us a great feeling of peace.
___40___While the sun’s rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin—put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that’s plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day’s worth of Vitamin D.
A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B. So what are you waiting for?
C. Being in nature refreshes us.
D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?
F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.
G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.
正确答案
【答案】36. E 37. A 38. G 39. C 40.D
答案解析
选文是一篇说明文，试题的难易和往年持平，侧重考查代词指代一致、前后句逻辑以及复现等。文章阅读难易适中，主要介绍了新鲜空气对人体的各种好处。
36.空前的people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”和选项中的“your mother always said”构成了呼应；同时空格后的“the answer is a big YES”得知空格处应该为一个问句，E项“但是新鲜空气真的像你母亲说的那样对你有好处吗？”与此对应，承上启下，故选E。
37.首先空格后的“the air you’re breathing”对应到A选项的lungs；此外，下文中“…breathe more deeply, allowing more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain”是对前文的递进，在户外，更多的氧气进入你的肌肉和大脑。注解：吸入的空气首先进入的是肺部，然后才会使我们的肌肉和大脑受益，故该空应选A项“新鲜空气清洁我们的肺部”。
38.根据空格后的“these places”，可以推知，该空应该提到表示地点的复数名词。“these places”对应G选项的“Healing Gardens”。
39.根据空格后代词“it”寻找指代。C选项的“Being in nature”可以被it所代指。同时，“Being in nature”跟前句的“tree branches”以及段首句的“natural world”构成复现。从语句逻辑来说，前文介绍的是“康复花园”中的绿色植物对于病人康复的好的作用，空后提到“它给我们一种平和感”，仍在介绍“康复花园”这种自然环境的好处，所以，空格句要起承上启下，语意仍在介绍“康复花园”这种自然环境的好处的范畴之中。故选C项“身处大自然可以使人精神焕发。”
40.根据空格后的“sun’s rays”可知，此题可以复现的角度去分析。the sun’s rays对应D选项的“sunlight”，故答案选D。
