A

Art – whether you choose to create it yourself or simply observe and enjoy it – is a relaxing and inspiring activity for many people. However, the particular benefits of artistic expression go much further.

 Studies suggest that art therapy (疗法) can be very valuable in treating issues such as depression and anxiety disorder. It is a great way to express your emotions without words, process complex feelings and find relief.

 You don’t necessarily have to see a therapist in order to experience some of the benefits of artistic expression. There are many simple activities you can try from the comfort of your home such as art journaling, drawing, making collections, sculpting with clay, etc. It doesn’t matter what media you choose. The only thing that matters is that you feel comfortable using it. Human beings are naturally creative, and all you need to do to complete an art therapy activity successfully is to be with yourself and your emotions. Once you free your creativity, your inner artist will quickly wake up.

 However, working with a licensed therapist also has its advantages because a professional can tailor each activity to your own needs. If the activities are done in a group, they are excellent for building healthy connections with other people, which may be very helpful if you are fighting depression.

 Experts agree that art therapy has many benefits, from promoting your self-respect, and providing you with a safe outlet to relieve your emotions, to giving you a sense of control over your life and helping you to get to know and understand yourself better. During the process of art creation, you will be taking yourself on a journey of self-discovery that will help you get rid of emotional roadblocks, and learn how to communicate with yourself and others.

1. What is art therapy used for?

2. To finish a successful art therapy, you’d better _______.

3. Why are group activities needed when dealing with depression?

A. To set an example.      B. To wake up the inner artist.

The spiders have long, scary legs. Some spiders even bite. But Spider-Man is another story. He might help people see spiders less negatively, a new study finds.

After Menachem Ben-Ezra, a proud fan of the Marvel (漫威漫画公司) films and also a psychologist, saw the movie Ant-Man and the Wasp (黄蜂)，he walked out with a sudden scientific idea that he should measure people before they went into the theater, and afterwards to see if the fear of ants would be reduced or changed.

Ben-Ezra and his colleagues asked 424 people questions, about one-quarter of them about spiders, such as “Did they find them scary” “Did seeing one make their hearts race and palms sweat?” A second group received similar questions, this time about ants. The last two groups got the same questions about other insects. Afterward, everyone watched videos. Group one got a Spider-Man movie. Group two saw Ant-Man and the Wasp. Groups three and four watched unrelated video – wheat waving peacefully in the breeze.

After viewing the movie, Ben-Ezra again asked participants how they felt about spiders, ants or insects in general – and found the ant and spider exposures seemed to make people insensitive and less afraid. Between 3.5 and 6.1 percent of people experience such a phobia (恐惧症) of spiders. Phobias can stop people from traveling, working and enjoying their lives.

Ben-Ezra hopes that their movie research might help people with phobias. But they caution that people with phobias shouldn’t just run out and watch movies and expect their fears to go away. “What we did is only the first step in a very long road,” Ben-Ezra says, “We didn’t say you’ll be cured. We don’t have evidence for that.” But eventually, presenting people’s fears in a positive context – such as a superhero movie – might help people surmount their fear or disgust. After all, if spiders produce Spider-Man, maybe they’re not so bad.

5. How did Ben-Ezra conduct the study?

A. By asking questions.    B. By doing lab experiments.

C. By analyzing former data.   D. By observation.

6. What does the underlined word “surmount” in the last paragraph mean?

A. Delete    B. Overcome   C. Discover   D. Regain

7. What did Ben-Ezra advise people to do with phobias?

A. They should not try to face their phobias.

B. They should travel, work and enjoy their lives.

C. They must keep away from the insects they fear.

D. They should adopt a positive attitude to their fear.

8. What is the best title for the text?

A. The Movies about the Insect Fear.          

B. The Positive Energy of Superheroes.

C. Fighting Spider Fear with Spider-Man.

D. The Cartoon Characters Made by Marvel.

3．It　考查代词。it指代上文The National Cryptologic Museum，故填It.

4．unusual　考查语境辨析。 不同寻常的职业，故填unusual。

5．from　考查介词。 come from“来自”，故填介词from。

6．designed　考查非谓语动词。 ways与design是被动关系，故用过去分词作后置定语，故填designed。

7．The　考查冠词。 表示特指，这个博物馆，故填the。

8．equipment　考查名词。 设空处作has的宾语，equip的名词是equipment。
