100-year-oldwomanslonglife.cin recent years, stressed-out urbanites have been seeking refuge in green spaces for the proven positive impacts on physical and mental health, but the benefits of “blue space” the sea and coastline, but also rivers, lakes, canals, waterfalls, even fountains are less well publicized, yet the science has been consistent for at least a decade: being by water is good for body and mind.“many of the processes are exactly the same as with green space with some added benefits, ” says dr mathew white, a senior lecturer at the university of exeter.white says there are three established pathways by which the presence of water is positively related to health and happiness. first, there are the beneficial environmental factors, such as less polluted air and more sunlight. second, people who live by water tend to be more physically active. third and this is where blue space seems to have an edge over other natural environments water has a psychologically restorative effect. when you are sailing, surfing or swimming, says white, “youre really in tune with natural forces there.” by being forced to concentrate on the qualities of the environment, we access a cognitive state honed over millennia. water is, quite literally, immersive.catherine kelly is a wellness practitioner who teaches classes in “mindfulness by the sea”. she says the sea has a meditative quality.“to go to the sea is synonymous with letting go, ” says kelly. “it could be lying on a beach or somebody handing you a cocktail. for somebody else, it could be a wild, empty coast. but there is this really human sense of: oh, look, theres the sea and the shoulders drop.”28. why do people go to the “blue space” for a relaxation ?a. to seek positive effect on body and mind.b. to have a good swim in the blue sea.c. to consider the beneficial environmental factors.d. to tend to be more careful and active.29. what is the second paragraph mainly about?a. the characteristics of the beneficial and friendly environmental factors.b. the classification of being by water is good for body and mind.c. the importance of the beneficial and friendly environmental factors.d. the causes of being by water are good for body and mind.30. what does the underlined word “immersive” in paragraph 2 refer to?a. being interested. b. being forced. c. being involved. d. being moved.31. what does catherine kelly find about “going to the sea” according to the text?a. trick of the lesson b. secret of the happiness. c. sense of human beings d. broadness of the seadlanguages will continue to diverge. even if english were to become the universal language, it would still take many different forms. indeed the same could happen to english as has happened to chinese: a language of intellectuals which doesnt vary hugely alongside a large number of variations used by local peoples.we will continue to teach other languages in some form, and not just for reasons of practical use. learning a language is good for your mental health; it forces you to understand another cultural and intellectual system. so i hope british education will develop a more rational approach to the foreign languages available to students in line with their political importance. because so many people believe it is no longer important to know another language, i fear that time devoted to language teaching in schools may well continue to decline. but you can argue that learning another language well is more exhausting than, say, learning to play chess wellit involves sensitivity to a set of complicated rules, and also to context.technology will certainly make a difference to the use of foreign languages. computers may, for instance, relieve the hard work that a vast translation represents. but no one who has seen a computer translation will think it can substitute for live knowledge of the different languages. a machine will always be behind the times. still more important is the fact that no computer will ever get at the associations beyond the words associations that may not be expressed but which carry much of the meaning. in languages like arabic that context is very important. languages come with heavy cultural baggage tooin french or german if you miss the cultural references behind a word youre very likely to be missing the meaning. it will be very hard to teach all that to computer.all the predictions are that english will be spoken by a declining proportion of the worlds population in the 21st century. i dont think foreign languages will really become less important, but they might be perceived to be and that would in the end be a very bad thing. 32. according to the text,we can infer that chinese _.a. is a language full of cultural backgroundb. is narrowly used by local peoples c. will be regarded as important as englishd. will soon become the universal language33. which of the following best describes the authors opinion ?a. foreign languages should be taught for political importance. b. learning another language is just like learning to play chess well. c. british education lacks a rational approach to the teaching of foreign languages.d. learning a language need to know a country cultural and intellectual system.34. why can the computer translation make a difference to the use of foreign languages? a. it can replace for live knowledge of the different languages.b. it can always keep the pace with the times in the translation.c. it can reduce the hard work that a vast translation represents.d. it can express the implied meaning beyond word associations.35. what is the text mainly about? a. learning foreign languages is a challenging job.b. learning a language is good for your mental health.c. cultural background blocks the understanding of a language.d. computers play an important role in learning foreign languages.第二节 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）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。the segway（平衡车）was invented by dean kamen, and was first shown to the public in 2001 by abcs good morning america program. 36 the word segway is remarkably close to the word ” segue” which means “to move smoothly from one thing to another”the segway looks like a large stick with two wheels. the wheels are connected to a platform. the stick has handles for a person to hold. the person stands on the platform and holds the handles. the transporter moves forward or backward when the person moves his or her body in that direction. 37 computers and certain devices on the segway make the vehicle move and balance. it is powered by batteries that can be recharged. it can travel at a speed of 20 kilometers an hour. 38 today these vehicles are used to take people on tours in parks .the angel island in san francisco uses the segway to take people around. the segway was also used by the police at the rio 2016 olympics. however, the vehicle has not found acceptance from the general public. 39 a review of the history of the segway will show that some people are still uncomfortable about riding a two wheeled self-balancing vehicle. another reason is that the us has different regulations on the roads and streets where the segway can be used. most states recommend that a helmet be worn when riding this vehicle. 40 while its usage may be limited for now, there is still no telling what it will be used for in the coming year.a. the history of the segway has just begunb. the driver turns the handles to go left or right.c. if you have never experienced a segway tour before, we expect you to join us .d. those who have ridden on the segway say it is best used for short journeys.e. as a result, the most popular use of the segway is in tourism, particularly for city tours.f. this unique invention was intended to help people travel throughout public city streets.g. one reason is that the price is similar to other vehicles which they are more familiar with.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的a、b、c和d四个选项中中,
