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 t
5、he connection between the natural world and healing(治愈).38In 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
6、patients who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead.39It gives us a great feeling of peace.40While the suns rays can age and harm our skin, they also give us beneficial vitamin D. To make sure you get enough vitamin Db
7、ut still protect your skinput on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and thats plenty of time for your skin to absorb a days worth of vitamin D.A.Fresh air cleans our lungs.B.So what are you waiting for?C.Being in nature refreshes us.D.Anot
8、her 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 fresh air with health care.G.All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.注意本句中的“the answer is a big YES”
9、,由此可推知36题为疑问句。注意37题的位置,说明文首句往往是该段落的主题句。本句为段落主题句,主题句后设空往往考查细节句。注意本句中的It,它指代前面设空处内容。和37题一样,本空位于段首,应为本段主题句。主题句一般具有短小、精悍的特点。36.E 过渡句。设空处前句提到 “go out and get some fresh air”，空格处马上针对呼吸新鲜空气这件事情进行提问，然后设空处后一句就是针对提问的回答 “the answer is a big YES”，所以选择E项。37.A 主题句。设空处后面一整段都是在阐述呼吸新鲜空气的好处，尤其两次提到oxygen（氧气），且设空处位于段首，
10、所以设空处是整段的主题句，而且话题需要一致，oxygen与A项中的lungs有联系，所以选择A项。38.G 细节句。设空处前一句中的关键词healing与G项中的Healing对应，G项中的recovery与设空处后一句中的recovery对应。此外，G项中出现Healing Gardens，后一句马上出现In these places来指代Healing Gardens，因此答案是G项。39.C 主题句。根据本段的第三句In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery.可知，此段讲了接近大自然有助于
11、病人的康复，而下文对有哪些帮助进行了进一步说明，所以在本段的最后再次进行总结，话题依然是与大自然有关，而且是总结性质的句子，所以选择C项。C项中nature与话题一致，与设空处后一句均是对本段话题的收尾。40.D 主题句。根据设空处位置可以推测此处为主题句，是对本段话题的开启。设空处后一句中的the suns rays与D项中的sunlight对应。而D项中的Another side benefit of getting fresh air又是对前面段落中阐述呼吸新鲜空气有好处的延伸，因此D项是最佳选项。解题技巧：1.通过设题位置判断 （1）段首设空一般找能概括该段中心意思的选项。（2）段尾设
12、空一般找能总结归纳该段的选项。2.通过标点符号判断当设空处后为逗号且逗号后面的句子结构完整时，可判断该空应为状语从句。3.根据语境线索判断语境线索主要指反映上下文关系的衔接手段，如篇章结构、词语重现、逻辑、连接、指代、同构等。（1）“词语重现”不仅指词语的简单出现，而且指某词语可能以不同词类、词性、数、格、时态、语态等形式出现。 （2）“逻辑”指事物之间存在的必然的关系，包括时间先后关系、空间位置关系、因果关系、归纳总结关系、总分关系等。 （3）“指代”是指用代词代替前文提到过的人物、事件、物品等，如 it，he，she，they等。 （4）“同构”是指上下文使用同一结构或类似的句子。【五年高
