---felttheirjobswerelessstressfulandmoresatisfying（她的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在辦公室里能接觸大自然的員工——哪怕只是看到樹木和鮮花——都會(huì)感到工作壓力更小，更令人滿意）”可知，作者給出兩座十九世紀(jì)的小屋例子，表明互聯(lián)網(wǎng)公司重新發(fā)現(xiàn)了低技術(shù)的好處。故選D。18.推理判斷題。第二段中的“Thecottagescouldbeanexampleoftheindustry’soddloveaffairwith“l(fā)owtechnology,”aconceptassociatedwiththenaturalworld（“低技術(shù)”是一個(gè)與自然世界相關(guān)的概念）”第三中作者給出的例子“Amazonisbuildingthreeglassspheresfilledwithtrees,sothatemployeescan“workandsocializeinamorenaturalpark-likesetting（在一個(gè)更自然、公園般的環(huán)境中工作和社交）”以及最后一段中“Herresearchfoundthatworkerswithaccesstonatureattheoffice---evensimpleviewsoftreesandflowers---felttheirjobswerelessstressfulandmoresatisfying（能夠在辦公室接觸大自然的員工——哪怕只是看到樹木和鮮花——都覺得自己的工作壓力更小，更令人滿意）”可以判斷出，“低科技”跟大自然有關(guān)，即在一個(gè)天然的環(huán)境下，故選A。19.主旨大意題。第五段中的“Thiscraft-basedtheoryisrootedinhistory.WilliamMorris,theEnglishartistandwriter,turnedbacktopre-industrialartsintheeighteen-sixties,justafterIndustrialRevolution.TheArtsandCraftsmovementdefineditselfagainstmachines.“Withoutcreativehumanoccupation,peoplebecamedisconnectedfromlife,”Morrissaid.

（這種以工藝為基礎(chǔ)的理論根植于歷史。英國(guó)藝術(shù)家兼作家威廉·莫里斯(WilliamMorris)在工業(yè)革命剛剛結(jié)束的19世紀(jì)60年代，又回到了前工業(yè)時(shí)代的藝術(shù)。工藝美術(shù)運(yùn)動(dòng)反對(duì)機(jī)器?！皼]有創(chuàng)造性的人類職業(yè)，人們就會(huì)與生活脫節(jié)，”莫里斯說。）”?？芍?，人類有重視工藝美術(shù)的傳統(tǒng)。故選B。20.主旨大意題。這篇文章中作者告訴我們，現(xiàn)代的高科技公司需要有創(chuàng)造力，要充分的利用以前的低科技技術(shù)，創(chuàng)設(shè)更加原生態(tài)的辦公環(huán)境。文中第三段與第四段舉例，現(xiàn)代高科技的辦公室運(yùn)用“l(fā)owtechnology”。且“l(fā)owtechnology”是文章的中心詞。故用C項(xiàng)“高科技公司、低科技辦公室”作為題目是最合適的。故選C。（24-25高三上·云南玉溪·開學(xué)考試）Peoplehaveunderstoodthatkindnessisgoodforthepersonwhoreceiveshelp.Forexample,whenwegivefoodtoahungryperson,heisblessed.However,scientistshaverecentlybeguntostudytheeffectkindnesshasonthepersongivingit.Whattheyhavefoundisthatdoinggoodisgoodforthedoer.Actsofkindnesscanimprovehealth,helpapersonreachgoalsandevenaddyearstoaperson'slife.Thefirststudytoshowtheconnectionbetweendoinggoodandlivingalonglifewasastudyonaging.Beginningin1956,scientistsstudiedagroupofmarriedmothersfor30years.Theythoughtthewomenwiththemostchildrenwoulddiefirst.Butthenumberofchildrenawomanhaddidnotmatter.Wealthdidnotmatter.Educationdidnotmatter.Whatdidmatterwaswhethertheyvolunteered.Womenthatvolunteeredhadfewerdiseasesduringtheirlife.Manyotherstudieshavefoundthesamepositiveeffects.Helpingotherpeopleimproveslong-termhealth.Thegainsarethesameforthemen,women,oldpeopleandtheyoung.Thosewhovolunteeredhadfewerseriousdiseasesthanthosewhodidnotvolunteer.Thisincludeddiseasessuchasheartattack,cancerandstroke.Scientistsareresearchingmanypossiblecauses.Onepossiblecauseisanincreaseandantibodies(抗體),whichhelpfightagainstdisease.Onestudyshowedthebodyproducesmoreantibodiesafteranactofkindness.Thisincreaseinantibodiescanlastnearlyanhourafteroneactofkindnessisfinished.Anotheroneisanincreaseinchemicalthatfightstheeffectsofstressfromlife.Scientistshavefoundalinkbetweenbeingkindtopeopleandanincreaseinthechemicaloxytocin(催產(chǎn)素).Oxytocinisachemicalproducedinthebrain.Itreducesmanyoftheharmfulchemicalsthebodyproducesunderstress.21.Whatdidthestudyinparagraph2show?A.Diseasesagepeoplefast.
