外刊时文 阅读B篇-2025届高三上学期英语一轮复习专项

题型：高中阅读理解 来源：外刊读物 Passage1 Gifting is not just about giving an object; it's a source of deep joy and has various positive impacts on our lives. One of the most memorable gifts I've received is a handmade photo book from my school friends. Aptly titled "This is Your Life", it documented our years together from childhood to adulthood, recalling precious memories. Bound in a hardback cover, it still sits on my shelf, waiting to be taken out and cherished during moments of sentimental reflection. This gift is special to me because it was made with intention. And I know my friends had a great time compiling it - reliving memories as they sourced and placed the images, and came up with creative captions. It's like how Amélie Poulain in the movie must have felt when she found the childhood treasure belonging to the former occupant of her apartment. Returning the memorabilia to its rightful owner and witnessing his joy and newfound perspective, she then committed herself to delivering acts of kindness that transformed the lives of people around her. Gifting is a tradition deeply rooted in many cultures. Beneath its surface lies some fascinating psychological benefits. It's an expression of love and gratitude, acknowledging the importance of our relationships and shifting us away from ego. It rewards us with a wonderful "warm glow". Developed by American economist James Andreoni, this concept shows that while it's great to be the recipient of a gift, the true joy can be found in the act of giving itself. 1. What made the author's handmade photo book special? A. Its high price. B. The fact that it was made with intention by friends. C. Its large size. D. The beautiful pictures in it. 2. According to the passage, what did Amélie Poulain do after finding the childhood treasure? A. She kept it for herself. B. She threw it away. C. She returned it and started helping others. D. She sold it. 3. What can be inferred about the psychological benefits of gifting? A. It has no impact on our relationships. B. It only makes the giver happy. C. It can shift our focus from ourselves and bring a sense of warmth. D. It mainly increases our ego. 4. The underlined word "cherished" in the first paragraph probably means _. A. forgotten B. valued C. destroyed D. ignored 答案： 1. B 解析：文中明确提到 “This gift is special to me because it was made with intention.”，即这份礼物特别之处在于它是朋友们用心制作的，B 选项正确。A、C、D 选项文章未提及。 2.

You might have left the scene, closed the door behind you, and then found yourself replaying the scenario in your mind over and over again for the 10th time, thinking of the perfect comeback. This is such a common experience that the French even have an expression for it: 'l'esprit d'escalier', meaning 'the spirit of the stairs'. This term emerged after French encyclopedist and philosopher Denis Diderot described a confrontation that left him speechless until he reached the bottom of the stairs and suddenly found the words he was looking for. A certain degree of rumination after conflict is normal. After all, even healthy conflict isn't exactly pleasant. However, studies have found links between rumination and negative mental health effects. For example, research published in Behaviour Research and Therapy has shown that rumination can exacerbate negative feelings by magnifying and prolonging negative mood states, interfering with problem-solving and maintaining an unhealthy mental state. So, what does a healthy relationship with conflict look like, and how can we learn to let go? David Woolfson, a counselor and anger specialist, believes that the behaviors associated with conflict regret are something he sees regularly. He says it all begins with the relationships we have with conflict in the first place. "Conflict has a bad reputation," he says. "But what is usually being talked about is 'unhealthy conflict'. Unhealthy conflict is then often followed by conflict regret, synonymous with toxic shame. This can be a lifelong pattern. Conversely, healthy conflict is an essential part of our progress and personal growth, and can be learned." 1. What does the French expression 'l'esprit d'escalier' refer to? A. The joy of climbing stairs. B. The feeling of regret after a conflict when you think of the perfect response later. C. The spirit of friendship. D. The process of solving a problem. 2. According to the research in Behaviour Research and Therapy, what can rumination do? A. Improve mental health. B. Help with problem-solving. C. Exacerbate negative feelings. D. Enhance relationships. 3. What can be inferred about David Woolfson's view on conflict? A. He thinks all conflicts are bad. B. He believes healthy conflict is important for personal growth. C. He considers conflict regret as a good thing. D. He thinks conflicts should be avoided at all costs. 4. The underlined word "exacerbate" in the second paragraph probably means _. A. reduce B. worsen C. ignore D. improve 答案： 1. B 解析：文章明确提到 “This is such a common experience that the French even have an expression for it: 'l'esprit d'escalier', meaning 'the spirit of the stairs'. This term emerged after French encyclopedist and philosopher Denis Diderot described a confrontation that left him speechless until he reached the bottom of the stairs and suddenly found the words he was looking for.”，即 “l'esprit d'escalier” 指的是冲突后想到完美回应的后悔之情，B 选项正确。A、C、D 选项与原文不符。 2. C 解析：根据 “research published in Behaviour Research and Therapy has shown that rumination can exacerbate negative feelings by magnifying and prolonging negative mood states, interfering with problem-solving and maintaining an unhealthy mental state.” 可知，沉思会加剧负面情绪，C 选项正确。A、B、D 选项与原文相悖。 3. B 解析：从 “Conversely, healthy conflict is an essential part of our progress and personal growth, and can be learned.” 可以推断出 David Woolfson 认为健康的冲突对个人成长很重要，B 选项正确。A 选项与原文不符；C 选项与原文 “Conflict regret, synonymous with toxic shame. This can be a lifelong pattern.” 相悖；D 选项文中未提及。 4. B 解析：根据上下文，“rumination can exacerbate negative feelings by magnifying and prolonging negative mood states” 意思是沉思会通过放大和延长负面情绪状态来 “恶化” 负面情绪，“exacerbate” 意为 “使恶化、加剧”，B 选项正确。A 选项 “减少”、C 选项 “忽视”、D 选项 “改善” 均不符合文意。 Passage 3 In the UK, we commonly recognize spring, summer, autumn, and winter. But in ancient Japan, they divided the year into a more specific 72 periods - the microseasons. For example, within the season Risshun (beginning of spring) is the microseason 'east wind melts ice'; following the spring equinox, Seimei (meaning 'pure and clear') contains 'wild geese fly north'; Taisho ('greater heat') heralds five days of earth being damp, air is humid; in October, Kanro ('cold dew') welcomes 'crickets chirp around the door'; while Toji (winter solstice) heralds 'deer shed their antlers'. These microseasons are shaped by the country's unique ecology and climate. In the UK, we might use rather cryptic descriptions like "shall we meet-up when 'rain moistens soil', or perhaps you're free when 'frogs start singing'? I'm busy around the time 'peonies bloom', but might book a getaway when 'thunder ceases'." if we scheduled our life around an ancient calendar - that of Japan's microseasons. It's a beautiful ancient concept, and here's how it could also be an emotional balm for 21st century life. "While the broader benefits of green spaces on mental health are well-documented, the act of observing microseasons amplifies these effects," says psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist Ella McCrystal. "Engaging with nature in this intentional manner can magnify feelings of tranquillity, and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mental fatigue. We are constantly bombarded with stimuli, often causing us to overlook the subtle and beautiful changes in nature." 1. How many microseasons are there in ancient Japan? A. 4 B. 12 C. 24 D. 72 2. According to the passage, what can observing microseasons do? A. Increase anxiety. B. Magnify feelings of tranquillity. C. Cause mental fatigue. D. Make people overlook nature. 3. What can be inferred about the author's attitude towards the concept of microseasons? A. Negative. B. Neutral. C. Positive. D. Indifferent. 4. The underlined word "cryptic" in the second paragraph probably means _. A. clear B. mysterious C. simple D. common 答案： 1. D 解析：文中明确提到 “But in ancient Japan, they divided the year into a more specific 72 periods - the microseasons.”，即古代日本有 72 个微季节，D 选项正确。A、B、C 选项与原文不符。 2. B 解析：根据 “Engaging with nature in this intentional manner can magnify feelings of tranquillity, and reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mental fatigue.” 可知，观察微季节可以放大宁静的感觉，B 选项正确。A、C 选项与原文相悖；D 选项与原文 “causing us to overlook the subtle and beautiful changes in nature” 不符，原文说的是我们容易忽略自然的细微美好变化，而不是观察微季节会导致忽略自然。 3. C 解析：从 “It's a beautiful ancient concept, and here's how it could also be an emotional balm for 21st century life.” 以及对微季节好处的描述可以推断出作者对微季节的概念持积极态度，C 选项正确。A 选项与原文不符；B 选项 “中立” 不准确；D 选项 “冷漠” 也不符合文意。 4. B 解析：根据上下文，“We might use rather cryptic descriptions like "shall we meet-up when 'rain moistens soil', or perhaps you're free when 'frogs start singing'?" 这里的描述比较隐晦、神秘，“cryptic” 意为 “神秘的、隐晦的”，B 选项正确。A 选项 “清晰的”、C 选项 “简单的”、D 选项 “常见的” 均不符合文意。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$题型：高中阅读理解 来源：外刊读物 Passage1 Gifting is not just about giving an object; it's a source of deep joy and has various positive impacts on our lives.
