B.Doubtful. C.Reserved. D.Unclear.【答案】28.A29.A30.D31.A【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了科学家对身体走神的研究，包括其影响、大脑活动以及长期益处等。【28题详析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Theeffectsofthishavebeenlargelyoverlooked,”saysneuroscientistMichaelAllen.(神经科学家迈克尔·艾伦说：“这一点的影响在很大程度上被忽视了。”)”以及后文围绕身体走神的影响展开研究可知，这项研究关注的是身体走神的影响。【29题详析】细节理解题。根据第三段“TheMRIscanssupportedthis,showingthat“bodywandering”hadadifferentformofbrainfunctionthancognitivemindwandering.(核磁共振扫描证实了这一点，表明“身体走神”与认知走神的大脑功能形式不同)”可知，核磁共振扫描显示身体走神有独特的大脑活动。【30题详析】推理判断题。根据第四段“Inthemoment,peoplewhoreportedmorebodywanderingduringthescanalsoreportedfeelingmoredistress.(在扫描过程中，报告身体走神较多的人也表示感到更痛苦)”以及第五段“Overall,participantswhotendedtoengageinbodywanderingmoreoftenindailylifeshowedfewersymptomsofdepressionandattention-deficit/hyperactivitydisorder(ADHD).(总体而言，在日常生活中更倾向于身体走神的参与者表现出较少的抑郁和注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）症状)”可知，艾伦的团队发现身体走神会引起短期的负面情绪，但有长期益处。【31题详析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despitethis,thestudyisinfluentialforpotentiallybridgingtwoseparatefieldsofresearch:interoceptionandmindwandering.(尽管如此，这项研究具有影响力，因为它有可能连接两个独立的研究领域：内感受和走神)”可知，亚伦·库奇认为这项研究虽然有局限，但具有影响力，说明他对这项研究持支持态度。DToday,concreteproductionaccountsforroughly8percentofglobalcarbonemissions,whichisaboutaquarterofallindustrycarbonemissions.Fortunately,theancientRomansmighthavetaughtusathingortwoaboutmanufacturingconcretethatlastsforthousandsofyears.AnewstudyhasstrictlyanalyzedtherawmaterialsandenergydemandsoftheancientrecipeofRomanconcrete,revealingsomeusefulwaystoimprovemoderncement(水泥).Surprisingly,researchersfoundthatproducingRomanconcreterequiresmorewaterandmoregreenhousegasemissionsthancommonlyusedconcretetoday.Butwhiletheinitialenergycostsmaybehigher,itmaynotneedtobereplacedorrepairedasoften.It’shardtocomparethelongevityofRomanconcretetomodernconcrete,becausetoday,manyconcretebuildingsandstructuresarereinforcedwithsteel.Assteelrusts(生锈),itexpands,forcinganysurroundingconcretetocrackanddegradeinaslittleasadecade.Bycomparison,ancientRomanconcreteiscapableofrestoringitself.Thismeansthatwhencracksappearinthecement,theyarenaturallygluedbacktogetherwhenwaterleaksin.That’spartofthewaterreasonancientRomanseawallshavelastedforcenturies,despitetheconstanterosion(侵蚀)ofseawater.DanielaMartinez,leadauthorandengineeroftheUniversityoftheNorthinColumbiaacknowledgesthatlonger-lastingcementstructures“canonlypartiallybalanceoutincreaseddemandfornewmaterial,”butRomanmanufacturingmethodsmayalsoholdotherenvironmentalbenefits.Romanconcreteproducesfarfewerdangerousairpollutants,possiblybecausethelimestone,themainingredientofRomanconcrete,isburnedusingcleanwood,notfossil(化石)fuels.Accordingtorecentmodels,usingRomancementtechniquescouldreduceharmfulgasemissionsbyupto98percentcomparedtomodernmethods.“TherearealotoflessonsthatwecandrawfromtheRomans.Ifwecanincorporatetheirstrategieswithourmoderninnovativeideas,wecancreateamoresustainablebuiltenvironment.”saysMartinez.32.Howdoestheauthorpresentthebackgroundofthestudy?A.Bygivingexamples.B.Byprovidingstatistics.C.Bydefiningaconcept.D.Bydescribingascene.33.WhatcanbeinferredaboutRomanconcrete?A.Ithasashortservicelife.B.Itneedsregularmaintenance.C.Itprovessustainableovertime.D.Itrequireslowinitialenergycosts.34.WhichwordcanbestdescribethepropertyofancientRomanconcrete?A.Ever-lasting.
