22、Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Losing Touch with Nature May Make You Sick
For something that’s not actually a recognized medical condition, Nature-Deficit Disorder (NDD) has gotten a lot of attention since it was first coined in 2005. Writer Richard Louv came up with the term in his book, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder. 【1】 Louv explained that children who play outside often are less likely to become ill, stressed, or aggressive compared to those who watch a lot of television and spend most of their free time indoors. Indeed, studies appear to back up that claim by noting that children who spend a significant amount of time outdoors tend to have better mental and physical health. 【2】 Nevertheless, they may be worsened by staying inside watching TV, playing video games, or being glued to a smartphone. What’s more, research also suggests that getting a nature fix can help boost the immune system.
According to Louv, the effects of NDD can be lessened or even reversed by making sure parents encourage their kids to enjoy playing outdoors as much as they can. 【3】 Rather, they should lead by example, spending time with them in the park, at the beach, camping, and doing other activities, Louv said. He added that children learn many important and practical skills while interacting with nature, like risk-taking, independence, and decision-making. 【4】
A．However, mothers and fathers shouldn’t force their kids to go outside or use it as a type of punishment.
B．In turn, this aids in the development of confidence and overall good health.
C．Recent studies focus not so much on what is lost when nature experience fades, but
on what is gained through more exposure to natural settings
D．He acknowledges that NDD is mostly a metaphor for a lifestyle lacking in contact with nature.
E．Schools that use outdoor classrooms and other forms of experiential education produce significant student gains in science, language and math.
F．Experts believe that problems such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (注意力缺乏多动症) can be relieved through contact with nature.
23、It would be easy to think that since houseplants live inside,they don’t really experience seasons as do their outdoor relatives. And while it’s true that they are provided with a lot more protection inside, it doesn’t mean they don’t know what’s going on. They do.【1】With that in mind,here is how to keep your plants happy as autumn is approaching.
If they’ve been vacationing outside,bring them in. If you have given your houseplants outside time for summer, bring them in before temperatures reach a low of 55F.【2】Examine both sides of leaves for insects, as well as the soil. Also, clear the top of the soil of dead leaves, which can attract harmful insects.
【3】So note this point when bringing plants inside. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a great list of such plants. Check yours and place them accordingly.
Repot (移盆) if needed. Spring is the best time to repot houseplants because that’s when they grow fast. But if any of your babies have had an active summer and are too small for their pot, now is a good time as well. Lift the plant out of the pot and check how the roots look. 【4】
Give them some fertilizer (化肥). Houseplants won’t need any fertilizer during fall and winter, but they might appreciate something to eat at this time. Plant Mom recommends doing so after their shower while the soil is still damp.【5】It is advised to use a liquid all-purpose fertilizer at half the recommended strength.
A．Do not make it a full meal.
B．If they seem crowded, it is time.
C．That’s because wet soil contains more water.
D．Some plants are harmful to pets and/or children.
E．A sunny and warm, place is all green plants like.
F．And they would appreciate a few seasonal adjustments.
G．Check to be sure they are not bringing any creatures with them.
24、In 1888 an Egyptian farmer digging in the sand near the village of Istabl Antar uncovered a mass grave. The bodies weren't human. They were feline-ancient cats that had been mummified（木乃伊化的）and buried in holes in astonishing numbers. "Not one or two here and there", reported English Illustrated Magazine, "but dozens, hundreds, hundreds of thousands, a layer of them, a layer thicker than most coal joints, ten to twenty cats deep." Some of the linen-wrapped cats still looked presentable, and a few even had golden faces. Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change; the rest were disposed of as fertilizer. One ship transported about 180,000, weighing some 38, 000 pounds, to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England.
Those were the days of generously funded explorations-that dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs, and for splendid gold and painted masks to decorate the estates and museums of Europe and America. The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get at the good stuff. Few people studied them, and their importance was generally unrecognized.
In the century since then, archaeology has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a science. Archaeologists now realize that much of their sites' wealth lies in the majority of details about ordinary folks-what they did, what they thought, how they prayed. And animal mummies are a big part of that.
"They're really displays of daily life," says Egyptologist Salima Ikram. After peering beneath bandages with x-rays and cataloguing her findings, she created a gallery for the collection-a bridge between people today and those of long ago. "You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, "Oh, King So-and-So had a pet". I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years, the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us."
【1】Which of the following words has the closest meaning to "peddled"（paragraph 1）？
A．Presented
B．sold
C．illustrated
D．introduced
【2】Why was archaeology once referred to as a "treasure hunt"（paragraph 3）？
A．People put great value on the majority of details about ancient people.
B．Animal mummies could be made into fertilizer which is very valuable.
C．It was hard to find animal mummies since they were buried under dirt.
D．People sought the remains of ancient Egypt merely for their material value.
【3】Which of the following is TRUE about Salima Ikram?
A．She wishes to establish the continuity of pets over history.
B．She believes that studying the remains can help modern society relate to the past.
C．She wants to identify the King's personal belongings and catalogue them.
D．She doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains
【4】This article probably encourages the readers to .
A．value the past by studying the remains left behind by our ancestors
B．make full use of the remains our ancestors have left behind
C．understand that animal mummies are more important than gold and masks
D．become more sensitive to the ancient lifestyle of our ancestors
