How do you feel about nature? After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park? I believe the answer must be “YES”.
Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the number of visitors to Canada's national parks is getting smaller every year. And in countries such as the US, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty-first century.
Therefore, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: One example is the work of Dr Matilda in Sweden. The doctor gave people a maths test. During the test, their heart rates(心率) were fast. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D-virtual-reality(虚拟现实的) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people's in the other group. The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed. The natural world allows our brains to rest and slow down, and can leave us feeling happier and less stressed. Another example from Canada also shows nature is good for health. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city. In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks.
Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want people to enjoy nature in their everyday life. In Dubai, people plan to build a new shopping mall with a large garden, so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. And South Korea has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year. Getting close to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children. In Switzerland, “forest schools” are popular. School children study their subjects in the forests and exercise a lot outside.
So after building cities for so long, perhaps it's now time to start rebuilding nature.

答案
31. A 【解析】代词指代题。根据“humans are spending more time inside and less time outside”及“a problem”可知,医生觉得人们花更多时间在室内,更少时间在室外已然形成一个问题了,此处“this”指的是人们花更多时间在室内,更少时间在室外这种现象,故选A。
32. B 【解析】细节理解题。根据“After the test, one group of people sat… slower than people's in the other group.”可知,在3D虚拟现实房间中观看自然图片和声音有助于减缓心率,故选B。
33. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据“Their heart rates were slower… helped them feel more relaxed.”及“Another example from Canada also shows nature is good for health.”可知,与大自然的接触帮助人们感到更加放松和健康,故选D。
34. B 【解析】推理判断题。根据“In Dubai, people plan to build … School children study their subjects in the forests and exercise a lot outside.”可知为了帮助人们享受自然,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构建自然环境,有些国家开设“森林学校”让学生在大自然中上课和运动,故选B。
35. C 【解析】推理判断题。根据“So after building cities for so long, perhaps it's now time to start rebuilding nature.”可知在建造城市这么长时间后,或许现在是时候开始重建自然了,可推断出作者在此呼吁大家让自然成为我们日常生活的一部分,故选C。
