【人与自我·健康生活】(2023山东聊城中考改编)
　　We all know that people have much more stress (压力) than before. Luckily, a new study has found an easy way to solve the problem. According to the researchers of the study, small green plants on the desk can greatly reduce people’s stress.
　　60 people from different jobs took part in the study. Half of them worked without any plants, while the other half worked with plants on their desks. Then a standard test was used to find out their stress levels. More than 90% of the office workers showed a lower stress level after taking only a three-minute rest to look at their plants.
　　The study has also found that it does not matter whether people looked at their plants or only had the plants near their computers. Only if people could see green plants for about a week in their working places, their stress levels changed greatly. This finding worked for everyone no matter how old they were and what their jobs were.
　　“People used to go out of their houses and enjoy themselves in nature, but now they have less time to do so,” one of the researchers said, “Lucky for them, our study has found out that a small green plant is as useful as a large forest.”
　　根据短文内容判断下列句子的正误,正确的用“A”表示,错误的用“B”表示。
(　　)9.A study has found a way to reduce people’s stress.
(　　)10.30 people worked without any plants in the study.
(　　)11.The test showed that all the office workers had a lower stress level.
(　　)12.The finding of the study worked for all the people.
(　　)13.The study shows that a green plant is more useful than a forest.

Ⅰ.1.pleasant　2.shade　3.soil　4.basic
Ⅱ.5.A　考查固定搭配。in a word总之。这里指“总之,她是一个不错的学生”。
6.B　be made of由…制成,成品能看出原材料;be made from由…制成,成品看不出原材料。戒指由银制成,能看出原材料,所以第一个空用介词of;be made in表示在某地被制作,后接地点,所以第二个空用介词in。
7.C　考查介词辨析。句意:请事先别告诉斯蒂恩女士并带她去欢迎晚会,以便她感到惊喜。介词without意为“无;没有”。
8.C　考查非谓语动词。句意:我认为在下雪天玩雪球是很愉快的。It’s+形容词+to do sth.“做某事是……的”,为固定句型,故选C。
Ⅲ.[语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文,介绍了绿植可以帮助缓解人们工作时的压力。
