文章大意：本文主要介绍了现代公共图书馆的不同用途。

1.细节理解题。根据“Librariesstillloanoutbooks,“以及"Thelibraryisnowamultimediazone

（多媒体区域）withdifferentformsofinformationlikemoviesonDVDs,musiconCDsand

popularmagazines.”可知，在图书馆我们可以借到图书、DVD上的电影、CD上的音乐和流

行杂志，但是电脑图书馆是没有提供的，故选D。

2.细节理解题。根据Betty的描述“Also,youmightfinditrelaxingtositquietlyinacornerwith

agoodbookwhileyoubringyourlittlekidtoahalf-hourStoryTime.“另外，你可能会发现安静

地坐在角落里，拿着一本好书，一边带着你的孩子听半小时的故事，是一种放松。可知，带

孩子去听半小时的故事可以让父母享受安静的阅读，因此B选项符合题意，故选B。

3.主旨大意题。根据“HowCanWeUseaModernPublicLibrary?”以及"Hasitbeenalongtime

sinceyourlastvisittoapubliclibrary?Ifso,youmaybesurprisedtolearnthatlibrarieshave

changedforthebetter.Theycanhelpdevelopyourloveforknowledge,meetinterestingpeople

andsoon.Herearesomeideasfromthereaders.”可知这篇文章的目的是介绍现代公共图书馆

的不同用途。故选C。

【答案】

4.A

5.C

6.D

7.C

【分析】

文章大意：文章介绍了自然对人类的影响，亲近自然环境能让人更放松。

4.段落大意题。根据笫二段中的信息“However,humansarespendingmoretimeinsideandless

timeoutside.”可知，本段主要提出了人们的生活方式问题，故选A。

5.推理判断题。根据第三段中的信息“Ingeneral,theyfoundthathealthierpeoplelivednear

parks.”可以推知大自然可以让人放松，并对他们产生积极的影响。故选C。

6.细节理解题。根据“InDubai,peopleplantobuildanewshoppingmallwithalargegarden,so

shopperscanrelaxoutsidewithtrees,plantsandwater.AndSouthKoreahasnewforestsnearits

citiesandaround13millionpeoplevisittheseforestseveryyear.Gettingclosetonaturehasbeen

thoughttobenecessaryforbraindevelopmentinchildren.InSwitzerland,"forestschools”are

popular.Schoolchildrenstudytheirsubjectsintheforestsandexercisealotoutside.“可知，为J，

帮助人们享受自然，有些国家为购物者规划一个绿色区域，有些国家在城市附近建造自然环

境，有些国家开设“森林学校”让学生在大自然中上课和运动，由此可知A、B、C选项文中

都有提到，但D选项“开始一个大脑发育项目”文章中没有提到，故选D。

7.推理判断题。根据上文“Inaword,natureholdsaspecialkindofenergy:itisclean,wildand

spirit-renewing,whichmakesusgrowstronger.”可知大自然有如此多的优点，结合选项，此处

应是说“那么，为什么不让自然成为我们日常生活的一部分呢?”因此C选项符合题意，故选
