While it’s nt news that many individuals turn t arts and crafts fr their mental health benefits, mst studies have traditinally fcused n patient ppulatins. Hwever, recent research indicates that the act f creating art can have psitive effects n the general public, and it might even prvide a greater sense f fulfillment cmpared t attending wrk.
Psychlgists’ analysis cvered 7, 182 participants aged 16 and lder sharing their experiences with cultural, digital, and sprting activities. Participants in the survey rated their happiness, anxiety levels, and life satisfactin. They als disclsed whether they felt life was wrthwhile and hw ften they felt lnely. Lastly, the individuals were questined abut their engagement with arts and crafts. Thirty-seven percent had participated in at least ne craft activity ver the previus 12 mnths.
The team fund that thse wh practiced arts and crafts activities reprted higher happiness, life satisfactin, and feelings that life was wrthwhile. On the cntrary, the researchers fund that crafting did nt affect lneliness. This result might be because many artistic prcesses invlve wrking in slitude.
The study did have sme limitatins. It’s unclear if crafting is directly causing feelings f well-being. Additinally, Helen Keyes, lead authr f the study, admits that the craft activities were linked with nly a tw percent higher rating regarding the feeling that life was wrthwhile. Hwever, she discvered that the bst in life satisfactin was generally higher than what peple derive frm their jbs. This suggests that arts and crafts can help peple wh are dissatisfied at wrk express themselves and find fulfillment — even if they’re nt getting paid t paint r knit.
The results are als ntewrthy n a ppulatin scale. If we are lking fr ways t imprve the mental health f citizens, increased access t creative activities may be a gd starting pint. Keyes said, “The next step wuld be t carry ut an experimental study where we measure peple’s well-being befre and after significant perids f crafting.”
8. What were the participants asked t d in the survey?
A. Create sme satisfying artwrks.
B. Cnvey their feelings abut crafting arts.
C. Share ways f cping with lneliness.
D. Integrate arts and crafts int their jb.
9. What des the underlined phrase “in slitude” mean in paragraph 3?
A. At ease.B. On call.C. By neself.D. In rder.
10. What may Helen Keyes agree with?
A. Peple wrking n arts and crafts get less paid.
B. There is n chance that art increases fulfillment.
C. Craftsmen reprted having high satisfactin in their jbs.
D. The rise in happiness assciated with crafting was small.
11. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. The fllwing study will be mre detailed.
B. Peple’s fulfillment needs t be imprved.
C. Mentally healthy peple d better in creative activities.
D. The number f participants will rise in the next studies.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【語篇解讀】這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了最近的研究表明,創(chuàng)作藝術(shù)可以對普通大眾產(chǎn)生積極影響,甚至可能比工作更能提供滿足感。
【8題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Psychlgists’ analysis cvered 7, 182 participants aged 16 and lder sharing their experiences with cultural, digital, and sprting activities.(心理學(xué)家的分析涵蓋了7182名16歲及以上的參與者,他們分享了自己在文化、數(shù)字和體育活動(dòng)方面的經(jīng)歷)”可知,在調(diào)查中,參與者被要求表達(dá)他們對藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作的感受。故選B。
【9題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞組上文“The team fund that thse wh practiced arts and crafts activities reprted higher happiness, life satisfactin, and feelings that life was wrthwhile. On the cntrary, the researchers fund that crafting did nt affect lneliness.(研究團(tuán)隊(duì)發(fā)現(xiàn),那些參與藝術(shù)和手工藝活動(dòng)的人報(bào)告的幸福感、生活滿意度以及認(rèn)為生活有意義的感受都更高。相反,研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn),手工藝活動(dòng)并不會(huì)影響孤獨(dú)感)”可知,這個(gè)結(jié)果可能是因?yàn)樵S多藝術(shù)過程都需要一個(gè)人獨(dú)自完成,所以不會(huì)影響孤獨(dú)感。由此可知,in slitude意為“獨(dú)自地”,與選項(xiàng)C“By neself(獨(dú)自地)”意思一致。故選C。
【10題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Additinally, Helen Keyes, lead authr f the study, admits that the craft activities were linked with nly a tw percent higher rating regarding the feeling that life was wrthwhile.(此外,該研究的主要作者Helen Keyes承認(rèn),在感覺生活有價(jià)值方面,手工活動(dòng)只與2%的高評(píng)級(jí)有關(guān))”可推知,Helen Keyes可能會(huì)同意這樣的觀點(diǎn):與手工制作相關(guān)的幸福感上升幅度很小。。故選D。
【11題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Keyes said, “The next step wuld be t carry ut an experimental study where we measure peple’s well-being befre and after significant perids f crafting.”(Keyes說:“下一步我們將進(jìn)行一項(xiàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)性研究,測量人們在長時(shí)間手工藝活動(dòng)前后幸福感的變化?!?”可推知,接下來的研究將會(huì)更加詳細(xì),通過實(shí)驗(yàn)來具體測量手工藝活動(dòng)對人們幸福感的影響。故選A。

Venus (金星) is nearly Earth’s size. Fr a lng time, scientists suspected Venus’ cre is abut as ht as ur planet’s. Internal heat is the main cause f things such as vlcanes and quakes.
Between 1990 and 1992, a NASA spacecraft called Magellan snapped radar pictures f Venus. Much later in recent years, tw researchers tk anther lk at them and last year, they reprted having sptted a vlcanic vent (出口). It was changing shape and seemed t be spilling ut lava (巖漿). Fr further study, researchers searched Magellan phts again fr signs f vlcanic activity.
During their new research, tw mre sites shwing signs f vlcanic activity turned up. One was n the western slpes f a large, lw vlcan. It’s called Sif Mns. The ther was Nibe Planitia. During tw f Magellan’s passes ver the planet, lng winding features appeared at bth sites. The researchers thught these snake-like features might be due t landslides, nt vlcanes. But the features appeared t spill acrss the land as lava wuld. They als shwed up at fairly flat sites. Landslides wuldn’t be expected here, the researchers said. “In these tw instances, the changes in hw the surface lks in radar are best explained by there being lava flws,” said Paul Byrne, a planetary scientist wh did nt take part in the new study.
It wasn’t easy t uncver these signs f active vlcanism. Magellan’s data is relatively lw-reslutin (低分辨率) and Venus has three times as much dry land as Earth des. Byrne nw suspects there are ther vlcanic sites n the planet. “There’s likely much mre t be fund,” he says. Researchers agree that Venus culd have as much vlcanic activity as Earth. Practically, fr a lng time, scientists thught Venus was gelgically dead. But we may have t wait t find ut fr sure. NASA is planning t launch tw prbes in the 2030s t map the surface f Venus in far mre detail.
12. What is the purpse f the authr fr writing the first paragraph?
A. T make an illgical assumptin.B. T give a specific definitin.
C. T add backgrund infrmatin.D. T express a nvel viewpint.
13. Hw did the researchers cnduct their new study n Venus’ vlcanic activity?
A. By reviewing pictures frm lng ag.
B. By analyzing the previus reprts.
C. By sending a spacecraft t the Venus.
D. By measuring Venus’ cre temperatures.
14. What was the snake-like features interpreted befre?
A. Evidence f Venus’ vlcanes.B. Evidence f Venus’ landslides.
C. Signs f Venus’ fairly flat land.D. Signs f Venus’ frmer surface.
15. Why was it hard t uncver signs f active vlcanism n Venus?
A. Venus is much larger than Earth.
B. The researchers have limited time.
C. Mst vlcanes n Venus are dead.
D. The researchers lacked clear details.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【語篇解讀】這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了科學(xué)家通過對麥哲倫號(hào)探測器拍攝的金星雷達(dá)圖像進(jìn)行再次研究,發(fā)現(xiàn)了金星上存在火山活動(dòng)的跡象。
【12題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Venus (金星) is nearly Earth’s size. Fr a lng time, scientists suspected Venus’ cre is abut as ht as ur planet’ s. Internal heat is the main cause f things such as vlcanes and quakes.(金星的大小幾乎和地球一樣。很長一段時(shí)間以來,科學(xué)家們懷疑金星的核心溫度和我們的星球差不多。內(nèi)部熱量是火山和地震等現(xiàn)象的主要原因。)”以及第二段中的“Much later in recent years, tw researchers tk anther lk at them and last year, they reprted having sptted a vlcanic vent (出口). It was changing shape and seemed t be spilling ut lava (巖漿). Fr further study, researchers searched Magellan phts again fr signs f vlcanic activity.(近年來,兩名研究人員對它們進(jìn)行了另一次研究,并在去年報(bào)告說,他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)火山口。它正在改變形狀,似乎正在噴出熔巖。為了進(jìn)一步研究,研究人員再次搜索麥哲倫號(hào)的照片,尋找火山活動(dòng)的跡象。)”可知,第一段介紹了科學(xué)家長久以來對金星的猜測:其核心溫度與地球在內(nèi)部熱量方面相似,內(nèi)熱是存在火山和地震的主要原因,作者在下文主要介紹了關(guān)于金星是否存在火山的研究;由此可知,作者寫第一段的目的是添加背景信息。故選C。
【13題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“Fr further study, researchers searched Magellan phts again fr signs f vlcanic activity.(為了進(jìn)一步研究,研究人員再次搜索了麥哲倫號(hào)的照片,尋找火山活動(dòng)的跡象。)”可知,研究人員是通過回顧很久以前的圖片來對金星的火山活動(dòng)進(jìn)行新研究的。故選A。
【14題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“The researchers thught these snake-like features might be due t landslides, nt vlcanes. But the features appeared t spill acrss the land as lava wuld. They als shwed up at fairly flat sites. Landslides wuldn’t be expected here, the researchers said.(研究人員認(rèn)為,這些蛇形特征可能是由于山體滑坡,而不是火山。但這些特征似乎像熔巖一樣溢出了整個(gè)陸地。他們也出現(xiàn)在相當(dāng)平坦的地點(diǎn)。研究人員說,這里不會(huì)發(fā)生山體滑坡。)”可知,以前蛇形特征被解釋為金星山體滑坡的證據(jù)。故選B。
【15題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Magellan’s data is relatively lw-reslutin (低分辨率) and Venus has three times as much dry land as Earth des.(麥哲倫號(hào)的數(shù)據(jù)分辨率相對較低,而且金星的陸地面積是地球的三倍。)”可推知,很難發(fā)現(xiàn)金星上有活躍火山活動(dòng)的跡象是因?yàn)橛糜谘芯康膱D片的數(shù)據(jù)分辨率相對較低,研究人員缺乏清晰的細(xì)節(jié)。故選D。

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。文章講述了我在經(jīng)過雜貨鋪時(shí),聽到一對父女關(guān)于社交媒體的對話,由此引發(fā)了自己的思考:如果使用正確,社交媒體是可以成為孩子表達(dá)自己的平臺(tái),也能幫助孩子發(fā)揮自己的創(chuàng)造力。
【16題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“Yu spent fur hurs n scial media last night?!” he questined.” (你昨晚在社交媒體上花了四個(gè)小時(shí)?!”他質(zhì)問到。)”可知,女兒在社交媒體上花費(fèi)了四個(gè)小時(shí),父親對此感到不解進(jìn)行質(zhì)問。選項(xiàng)E“The clear disappintment in his vice led t an argument abut scial media.(他話語中的失望引發(fā)了一場關(guān)于社交媒體的爭論)”選項(xiàng)中“clear disappintment(明顯的失望)”與上文“fur hurs(四個(gè)小時(shí))”及“he questined(他質(zhì)問道)”形成呼應(yīng)。故選E。
【17題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“it can als d a lt f gd— if we teach them t use it wisely.(如果我們教會(huì)他們明智地使用它,它也能帶來很多好處。)”可知下文要表達(dá)社交媒體是可以產(chǎn)生積極的效應(yīng)的。以及下文“Scial media may be the single best way t stay in cntact with family and friends yu can’t see n a regular basis.(社交媒體可能是你與不能經(jīng)常見面的家人和朋友保持聯(lián)系的唯一最好的方式。)”可知,此處正好起到一個(gè)承上啟下的作用,因此引出下文社交媒體帶來的具體的好處。選項(xiàng)B “Within healthy bundaries, there are benefits f scial media.(在合理健康的范圍內(nèi),社交媒體也有好處。)”可以承上啟下,引出下文社交媒體的好處。故選B。
【18題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“Just like the Christmas cards yu may have received weeks ag, there’s an pprtunity fr an nging update f what’s happening in their lives.(就像你幾周前收到的圣誕卡一樣,這是一個(gè)不斷更新他們生活近況的機(jī)會(huì)。)”可知,上文將圣誕卡進(jìn)行舉例,這種隔空進(jìn)行溝通交流的形式,作為社交媒體的方式之一,也是與親朋好友進(jìn)行面對面交流的之外的以一種方式。兩者互為補(bǔ)充。選項(xiàng)D “It’s a great supplement t stay engaged between in-persn interactins.(這是在面對面交流之間保持聯(lián)系的一個(gè)很好的補(bǔ)充。)”符合條件。故選D。
【19題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“Whether it’s a phase where they need t dress themselves, r paint their rms a new clr, all kids want is t be able t express themselves.(無論是在這個(gè)階段,他們需要自己穿衣服,還是把他們的房間涂成新的顏色,孩子們想要的就是能夠表達(dá)自己。)”以及下文“What they write, pst, r engage with will give yu a windw int what they think is imprtant.(他們寫的、發(fā)布的或參與的內(nèi)容會(huì)給你一個(gè)窗口,讓你了解他們認(rèn)為什么是重要的。)”可知,孩子們喜歡通過自己穿衣服,涂顏色,寫文字并上傳網(wǎng)絡(luò)的方式表達(dá)自己,因此社交媒體對孩子來說,是一個(gè)很好的對外表達(dá)自己的平臺(tái)。選項(xiàng)G“Scial media can be a platfrm fr yur kids t express what’s meaningful t them.(社交媒體可以成為孩子們表達(dá)對他們有意義的東西的平臺(tái))”表明了社交媒體的平臺(tái)作用,幫助孩子表達(dá)自己。故選G。
【20題詳解】
根據(jù)下文“Even if it’s just saved in their brain and never psted, they had a chance t think creatively.(即使只是保存在他們的大腦中,從未發(fā)布,他們也有機(jī)會(huì)進(jìn)行創(chuàng)造性思考。)”可知,孩子進(jìn)行創(chuàng)造之后,打算在社交媒體上發(fā)布,即使沒發(fā)布,但也進(jìn)行了創(chuàng)造性思考。因此可知,此處表達(dá)孩子通過社交媒體發(fā)布自己的創(chuàng)意內(nèi)容。選項(xiàng)F“As kids begin t prduce their wn cntent, it gives them a space t be creative.(孩子們開始創(chuàng)作自己的內(nèi)容時(shí),這給了他們一個(gè)發(fā)揮創(chuàng)造力的空間)”與上文孩子的創(chuàng)造性思考形成呼應(yīng)。故選F。
