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(治癒). 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(情緒)nery 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.

【解析】

【分析】

這是一篇説明文。文章介紹了新鮮空氣對人體的各種好處。

36．根據下一句中的“the answer is a big YES”可知，該空應該是一個一般疑問句，選項中只有E選項是一般疑問句。E項“但是新鮮空氣真得像你母親説的那樣對你有好處嗎？”承上啟下，故選E。空前的people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”和選項中的“your mother always said”亦是呼應。

37．根據下一句中提到的“If the air you’re breathing is clean…the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen”可知，新鮮空氣充滿賦予人生命的，充滿活力的氧氣。再根據下文中“…breathe more deeply, allowing more oxygen to get to your muscles and your brain”是對前文的遞進，在户外，更多的氧氣進入你的肌肉和大腦。根據前面的分析可以推知，該空應該提到新鮮空氣的基本作用，根據常識，我們知道吸入的空氣首先進入的是肺部，然後才會使我們的肌肉和大腦受益，故該空應選A項“新鮮空氣清潔我們的肺部”。

38．根據下一句中提到的“these places”可以推知，該空應該提到表示地點的複數名詞。選項中只有G選項提到該類名詞，故G項“在全國，康復中心已經開始建造‘康復花園’。”these places就是指Healing Gardens。

39．前文介紹的是“康復花園”中的綠*植物對於病人康復的好的作用：綠*的正在成長的植物可以減輕壓力，降低血壓，使人情緒良好；空後提到“它給我們一種平和感”。該空起承上啟下的作用，仍然要提到處於“康復花園”這種自然環境中的好處，空後的it也要指代這種情況。故選C項“身處大自然可以使人精神煥發。”

40．根據下文中提到的“the sun’s rays…give us beneficial Vitamin D”可知，該段介紹陽光的好處。故該選項應該提到陽光。選項中只有D選項涉及陽光。故選D項“獲得新鮮空氣的另一個好處是陽光。”
