D.Itscomplexity.【答案】32.D33.D34.C35.B【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述非传染性疾病死亡人数呈上升趋势，研究表明接触自然（绿地、植物等）有益健康，该发现将影响医疗诊疗与城市规划。【32题详析】推理判断题。根据第一段“Ifcurrenttrendsarecorrect,around41millionpeoplewilldiefromnoncommunicablediseases(NCDs)in2025,representingabout74percentofallglobaldeaths.(如果当前趋势预测正确，2025年约有4100万人将死于非传染性疾病，约占全球总死亡人数的74%。)”及“By2050,itispredictedthattwooutofeverythreepeoplewillliveincities,makingthesetrendsextremelyworrying.(据预测，到2050年，每三个人中就有两人将居住在城市，这使得这些趋势变得极为令人担忧。)”可知，作者通过提供具体数据呈现非传染性疾病死亡人数上升的问题。故选D项。【33题详析】推理判断题。根据第二段“Moreimportantly,thereisstrongscientificproofthatwhenweinteractwithnature,itbringsaboutbiochemicalreactionsinourbodiesthatimproveourhealth.ThisbeganwithJapanesescientistsstudying“forestbathing”,orshinrin-yoku.(更重要的是，有强有力的科学证据表明，当我们与自然互动时，会在体内产生改善健康的生化反应。这始于日本科学家对“森林浴”的研究。)”可知，提及森林浴是为了证明“基于自然的保健方式有科学依据”。故选D项。【34题详析】细节理解题。根据第四段“Whenwebreatheinascent,itsvolatileorganiccompounds(VOCs)passintoourblood.Onceintheblood,thesecompoundsactlikemedicinesleadingtopositivehealthoutcomes.(当我们吸入气味时，其挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）会进入血液。一旦进入血液，这些化合物就像药物一样，带来积极的健康结果。)”可知，植物的VOCs能像药物一样促进身体康复。故选C项。【35题详析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thisnewevidencemeansthatin2025,doctorswillincreasinglyprescribenatureinsteadofdrugs.Urbanplanners,ontheotherhand,willnolongerconsidergreenspacesassomethingunessential.(这一新证据意味着，到2025年，医生将越来越多地开“自然”处方而非药物。另一方面，城市规划者将不再把绿地视为非必需的东西。)”可知，最后一段阐述了该研究对医生诊疗和城市规划的影响，即研究的意义。故选B项。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。HumanwastecouldhelpfarmersSometypesoffarmingareharmfultotheplanet.___36___Alotofcropsneedextranutritiontogrow,sofarmersaddsubstancescalledfertilizers(肥料)totheirsoiltoboostplants’growth.Theseareimportantbecausetheykeepcropshealthyandmakesurethatthereisenoughfoodforpeopleandanimals.___37___Everyyear,farmersaroundtheworldspendhugeamountsofmoneyonatotalof205milliontonsoffertilizers,leadingtoseverewaterpollutionandlossofbiodiversity.___38___Theyaremostlymadeinfactoriesbyburningnaturalgasandmixingitwithminerals.Producingfertilizerstakesalotofenergyandthewholeprocess—fromdiggingoutthemineralstotransportingthefinalproducttofarms—createspollution.Thispollutionincludescarbondioxide,agasthatcontributestoclimatechange.Nevertheless,amethodknownasbiochartechnology,whichisalreadyusedtomakefuel,couldturnhumanwasteintoadifferenttypeoffertilizer.Thenewstudysuggeststhiscouldbebetterfortheplanetandcheaperforfarmers.Humanwasteisrichinnutrientswhichplantslove.___39___Evenworse,itcanalsocontainleftovermedicines,microplasticsandpoisonousmetals.Accordingtothenewstudy,biochartechnologycanturnhumanwasteintosafeplantfood.Theprocessiscalledpyrolysis,wherethewasteisheatedupinspecialtanks.___40___Besides,thewasteismadeintosolid,dryblocks,whichareupto90%smallerandlighterthantheoriginalform,whichwouldmakeitmucheasiertostoreandtransport.A.Fertilizersareusuallyamixofcertainchemicals.B.Whatisbeneficialtoplantsisbeneficialtotheenvironment.C.Onthenegativeside,itcancarryharmfulbacteriaandviruses.D.Butwithtoomuchuseoffertilizers,thequalityofcropssuffers.E.Unfortunately,theyareexpensiveandcomeatanenvironmentalcost.F.However,anewstudyhasfoundthatcouldchangethankstohumanwaste.G.Theharmfulstuffinthewastewon’tbeaproblemasitcanberemovedintheprocess.【答案】36.F37.E38.A39.C40.G【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍传统化肥存在污染环境、成本高昂等问题，而生物炭技术可将人类废弃物转化为安全肥料，为农业提供新方向。【36题详析】根据前文“Sometypesoffarmingareharmfultotheplanet.(有些农业类型对地球有害。)”以及下文围绕“人类废弃物可转化为肥料”的核心内容可知，此空需起到转折过渡作用，引出解决农业污染的新方法。F选项“However,anewstudyhasfoundthatcouldchangethankstohumanwaste.(然而，一项新的研究发现，由于人类废弃物，这种情况可能会改变。)”中“that”指代前文“农业对地球有害”的现状，“change”引出下文的新方案，符合语境。故选F项。【37题详析】根据前文“Theseareimportantbecausetheykeepcropshealthyandmakesurethatthereisenoughfoodforpeopleandanimals.(这些（化肥）很重要，因为它们能保持作物健康，并确保人类和动物有足够的食物。)
