外刊时文 阅读C&D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 They say variety is the spice of life, and now a study from researchers at the Psychiatric Clinics Basel, in Switzerland, has provided evidence. The study involved 106 patients with mental health conditions, including anxiety, mood, and personality disorders, among others. These patients were a combination of inpatients and outpatients living at home with regular care. For a week, the patients carried a phone that tracked their movements with GPS. They also completed surveys on their subjective wellbeing, psychological flexibility, and mental health symptoms. The researchers discovered an interesting finding: greater movement appeared to coincide with a greater sense of wellbeing, even though the patients' symptoms remained consistent. Additionally, a link was found between movement and emotional wellbeing as well as psychological flexibility. While the study didn't find that variety led to an improvement in mental health problems directly, it did have connections to overall wellbeing. So, it's suggested that we take this as a sign to try to incorporate a bit more variety into our own lives. Whether it's taking the scenic route on your travels or visiting a new place in your local area, this small change could have a large impact on your mindset. We've Reached a Pivotal Moment in the Fight against HIV For the first time in the UK, at-home rapid HIV tests are available to pick up in the supermarket, marking a momentous achievement in both HIV testing and stigma reduction. The tests, created by Newfoundland Diagnostics and available in Tesco, provide results in just 15 minutes with more than 99% accuracy and come at a time when, according to data from the UN, global new HIV infections have reduced by 59% since they peaked in 1995, and in the UK the latest estimate suggests that there are 105,200 people living with HIV - with an estimated 94% of these people diagnosed and aware that they have HIV. "Today marks a pivotal moment," says an expert. "Our aim is to increase awareness of HIV tests easily accessible as part of routine shopping, our goal is to equip Brits with the necessary tools to identify and manage transmission risks, while encouraging conversations around HIV by placing tests on our supermarket shelves." 1. What did the patients in the study do for a week? A. They stayed in the hospital. B. They carried a phone to track their movements and completed surveys. C. They only completed surveys on mental health symptoms. D. They didn't do anything special. 2. What was the finding of the study on variety and wellbeing? A. Variety directly improved mental health problems. B. Greater movement was related to a greater sense of wellbeing. C. There was no connection between movement and wellbeing. D. Only inpatients benefited from variety. 3. What is special about the HIV tests available in the UK supermarket? A. They are very expensive. B. They provide results in a long time with low accuracy. C. They are the first at-home rapid HIV tests available in the UK supermarket. D. They are only for people with HIV. 4. The underlined word "pivotal" in the second part probably means _. A. unimportant B. crucial C. common D. slow Passage 2 Whether it's choosing the size of your morning coffee, swiping through dating profiles, or considering whether to accept a big promotion at work, we're presented with thousands of choices every day. Considering all the options before making any decision is sensible, and often happens quickly without too much thought. But what if you spend so much time weighing up the possibilities, in so much detail, that you're actually unable to decide at all? This loop of overthinking is called decision paralysis, and although it might seem like an insignificant problem, or a slightly irritating personality quirk, it might be having a greater impact on your wellbeing than you realize. It could be related to more serious mental health conditions and impact your capacity to deal with everyday stress. What causes decision paralysis? Several factors play a role. Firstly, sometimes there are genuinely just too many options to choose from! With Google at our fingertips, it's no wonder it takes you three days to order a new lip balm when there are 10 million search results to sift through. There is also the fear of failure, regret, or making a mistake that could have serious consequences on your work or personal life, as well as personality traits like perfectionism and people-pleasing. Different childhood environments can also contribute. Because attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and depression affect the brain's executive function, decision paralysis can be more common for individuals with these conditions. If you think decision paralysis is a symptom of another condition, it's important to talk to your GP. Talk to someone you trust. You know that thing where you talk through a problem with a friend, and before you've even finished explaining it, you've realized what the solution is? Verbalising your options to a trusted pal can make a world of difference when you are in decision paralysis. Just make sure you're upfront about exactly the kind of support you need. 1. What is decision paralysis according to the passage? A. Making decisions quickly without much thought. B. The inability to decide due to overthinking options. C. A personality quirk that has no impact on wellbeing. D. Choosing the best option easily. 2. Which of the following is NOT a cause of decision paralysis mentioned in the passage? A. Too many options. B. Fear of failure. C. Good childhood environment. D. Personality traits like perfectionism. 3. What can be inferred from the passage about decision paralysis? A. It only affects people with mental health disorders. B. It has no relation to personality traits. . It can have a significant impact on one's life. D. It is easy to overcome by oneself. 4. The underlined word "verbalising" in the last paragraph probably means _. A. writing down B. thinking about C. expressing in words D. ignoring Passage 3 Have you ever tried to stop pandering to your phone? Switching it to silent mode, setting timers, or leaving it in another room on purpose. It's a good effort but, let's face it, who are we kidding? Once you glimpse a flash on that screen, you're toast. You tell yourself it won't be anything important, just another mildly amusing meme from your cousin on the family WhatsApp group or the school parents chat, pinging with questions about the forthcoming bake sale. But wait, what if the message is urgent? It could be your friend, the one who's struggling. Has there been an accident? You race to your device... Oh, great. You've been added to a new group chat. Another digital conversation with crossed wires and pressure to do stuff. Hello, anxiety! Our phones and apps like WhatsApp do a lot of good. Psychotherapist Fiona McAlister says that interactions such as WhatsApp messages provide a quick sense of belonging and validation. In addition to generating dopamine, even brief or superficial conversations release oxytocin, the bonding hormone, fostering a satisfying connection. In our fast-paced world, these momentary connections act as social "snacks", temporarily fulfilling our need for interaction. Fiona also warns that those with "people-pleasing" tendencies might feel an urge to frequently check and respond to messages. This might affect those who fear isolation and loneliness, she adds. So how can we maximize WhatsApp's advantages while minimizing the stress? Here are some tips: You can look forward to an evening overshadowed by message admin. But why do we torture ourselves? Set specific times to check your phone and notifications. Don't let them constantly interrupt your day. This way, you take control of when you engage with your phone instead of being at its mercy all the time. On an iPhone, if you have read the message but can't reply until later, swipe to the right and a blue circle will appear. If you're an Android user, hold the chat down and tap the three dots in the top right corner of the screen, then simply mark it as unread. Once you read this message again, the circle will disappear. If you need more time, repeat the swipe to the right and tap as unread once more. This helps you keep track of messages you still need to deal with without feeling overwhelmed. When we type, we pause whatever we're doing. And this pause can be long. We retype, stress levels rise. Instead of relying solely on digital communication, remember to have real conversations. Talk to friends and family in person or over the phone. This can reduce the pressure and anxiety associated with constant messaging and help you build deeper connections. 1. According to the passage, what can WhatsApp messages do? A. Only cause anxiety. B. Provide a sense of belonging and release certain hormones. C. Have no impact on people. D. Make people more isolated. 2. What is the purpose of setting specific times to check phone notifications? A. To completely ignore the phone. B. To be at the mercy of the phone all the time. C. To take control of when to engage with the phone. D. To receive more notifications. 3. What can be inferred from the passage about people with "people-pleasing" tendencies? A. They don't care about messages. B. They might feel the need to check and respond to messages frequently. C. They are not affected by phone-pinging anxiety. D. They prefer to be isolated. 4. The underlined word "overshadowed" in the first tip probably means _. A. improved B. dominated C. ignored D. enjoyed 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 They say variety is the spice of life, and now a study from researchers at the Psychiatric Clinics Basel, in Switzerland, has provided evidence.
