17.Living near the beach may come with an extra advantage:better health.A new study analyzed information from more than 48million people in England and found that the nearer they lived to the coast,the more likely people were to report good health within the past year.Living near the coast may be associated with better health because the seaside environment reduces stress,the researchers said.They pointed to another British study that found that people who took trips to the coast experienced more feelings of calmness and relaxation than those who visited urban parks or the countryside.
The difference from living near the coast was relatively small.But a small effect,when applied to an entire population can have a substantial impact on public health,said study researcher Ben Wheeler of Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry in Exeter,England.
However,it's too soon to advise people to hit the beach to improve health,Wheeler said.The study only found an association,not a cause-effect link,and it's possible that other factors could explain the results.For instance,it could be that people who are wealthier,and therefore healthier,are more able to move to desired locations such as the coast,Wheeler said,a phenomenon known as the migrant effect.But the study did find that the association between coastal living and better health was strongest for those living in the poorest areas,which perhaps indicates that wealth cannot explain the results,Wheeler said.
Because the study looked at only England-an island country in which everyone lives within 72miles of the coast,it's not clear whether the findings would apply to other populations.Far from England,a health expert not involved in the study said that while the British research certainly doesn't prove that people's health and the place they live are linked,it's possible that proximity to the seas does something for our bodies.
29.We can conclude from the passage thatA.
A.people living near the sea may be healthier
B.people pay increasingly attention to health
C.people are encouraged to move to the coast
D.people are worried about residential environment
30.According to the researchers,living near the seaC.
A.doesn't nearly affect the British population
B.can cure some difficult diseases in a way
C.can help get over one's stress
D.means freeing from sadness or troubles
31What does the underlined word"proximity"in the passage mean?D
A.being distant
B.being opposite
C.being similar
D.being close.
分析 文章讲述了根据英国的一项研究分析人们住的离海岸越近,身体就越健康.研究人员说居住在海岸附近可能和更好的健康有关系,因为海边环境能够减少压力.然而研究员本•惠勒提醒人们对此下肯定的结论还为时过早,因为这只是发现了两者之间的联系,而不是必然的因果关系.
解答 29.A细节理解题.通过文章首段内容 Living near the beach may come with an extra perk (利益):better health.可知住的离海边近的人们会更健康.故选A.
30.C细节理解题.根据文章第二段Living near the coast may be associated with better health because the seaside environment reduces stress,the researchers said.研究人员说住在海岸附近可能带来更好的健康,因为海边环境可以减少压力可知选C.
31.D词义猜测题.从上文内容可知作者主要讲述的是靠近海边对人的健康影响,由此推测该词意思是"接近海边",选D.
