7.How Room Designs Affect Our Work and FeelingArchitects have long had the feeling that the place we live in can affect our thoughts,feeling and behaviours.But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(实证的)basis.They are discovering how(32)to design (design) spaces that promote creativity,keep people focused,and lead to relaxation.
Researches show aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity.In 2012,Joan Meyers-Levy reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects (33)howpeople think.Herresearch indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely,(34)leading (lead) them to make more abstract connections.Low ceilings,on the other hand,may inspire a more detailed outlook.Besides ceiling height,the view (35)afforded (afford) by a building may influence anoccupant's ability to concentrate.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically,and(36)it seems to,according to a study.Students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary,language arts and maths than did students (37)whoseclassrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim light helps people loosen up.
(38)if that is true generally,keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation.
So far public buildings (39)have been focused (focus) on by scientists."We have a very limited number of studies,so we are almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管),"architect David says.
"How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad use of them?That is
(40)whatwe are all struggling with."

35.afforded 考查非谓语.本句中afford与view之间是被动关系afforded by是"由…所提供的",所以用过去分词做定语修饰view.
36.it 考查代词.分析句子这是一个由and连接的并列句.根据句意:用自然来提高注意力的焦点应该在学术上得到回报,这好像是一项研究表明.it指代前文的句子的意思,所以答案填it.
