She felt she needed to do something to help them, so she urged people to donate bandages and medicine and delivered these supplies to the battlefield. Clara didn’t stop helping when the war was over. She led a group to search for missing soldiers. This group also worked to identify soldiers killed or missing. After four years of this work, Clara moved to Switzerland, where she first learned about a group called the Red Cross. This group worked to help people who were suffering during times of war. In 1873 Clara returned to the United States. In 1881 she started an American branch of the Red Cross. She served as its first President for over 20 years. As the result of Clara’s hard work and leadership, the Red Cross grew. Today, it also helps people suffering as a result of earthquakes, fires, floods, and other disasters. Clara Barton died on April 12, 1912, but her great contribution, the American Red Cross lives on.

The Best American National Parks to Visit for Christmas
The Christmas season can be stressful if you spend every moment cleaning, cooking, and hosting guests. Or the holidays can be a joyful celebration of beauty and peace if you plan an escape to one of America’s splendid national parks.
Yellowstone National Park
Dreaming of a white Christmas? Yellow stone, the country’s first national park, is your top choice. Your family can enjoy a quiet and private getaway(假日休闲地)at Old Faithful Snow Lodge & Cabins. Sit by the fire with hot cocoa and look out at the vast wilderness all around you. Also you can photograph a bison and other wildlife on a winter photo safari.
Rocky Mountain National Park
If you really want to get away from it all over the holidays, plan a trip to a park less traveled in the winter. Rocky Mountain National Park is quiet and uncrowded, but the wildlife is still active. Seeing a moose(麋鹿)in its natural habitat is an experience you won’t forget. Sledding and skiing are also exciting possibilities.
Grand Canyon National Park
Grand Canyon National Park offers a fun holiday experience for families. Families can get on the Polar Express that runs from Arizona to the South Rim of the park through early January and enjoy a pleasant ride complete with hot chocolate and cookies. When you reach the “North Pole”, Santa Claus is waiting with a gift for each child. It’s the best way for your kids to enjoy the magic of Christmas.
Virgin Islands National Park
If snow isn’t your thing, don’t worry. Virgin Islands National Park is perfect for you to escape winter. With white sandy beaches, clear blue water, and more than 800 subtropical plants, you will feel like you traveled outside the U.S. to a tropical area.

For one overseas student who has been in China for over a decade, learning the moves and culture associated with Chinese martial arts(武术) has been his most valuable experience.
So uley mane Hima Oumarou, a Nigerien student at Hebei University in Baoding, Hebei province, first came to the university in 2012 as an undergraduate, not only for an education, but also to achieve his dream of learning the Chinese martial art of kung fu. He became a fan of kung fu after watching movies starring famous martial artists such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
During his studies in Baoding, Oumarou joined the university’s martial arts association and studied under Duan Shuxing, one of the association’s instructors. Following Duan’s instructions, Oumarou began to practice basic moves in 2015, including Eight Extremities Fist, or bajiquan, as well as the associated art of tai chi.
“Learning martial arts has not been easy because I was not young when I started,” the 36-yea--old said, adding that he was forced to overcome difficulties and make more of an effort to learn more advanced moves.
As far as his instructor is concerned, Oumarou is hardworking and energetic. “He always trains hard and has made great progress in the past seven years,” Duan said.
So far, Oumarou has mastered multiple boxing techniques and knows how to use many traditional Chinese weapons.
Apart from the skills he’s learned, martial arts have brought him more. He has made many Chinese friends through learning kung fu and has been to many places around China to participate in competitions.
Oumarou is now a doctoral student and is expected to graduate this year. In the future, he plans to open a kung fu center in Niger after he graduates, and to become an instructor and teach youngsters martial arts. He thinks that will also help him better understand the spirit of martial arts, and also become a cultural communicator between China and Niger.
24. What can we learn about Oumarou from paragraph 1 and paragraph 2?
A. He went abroad to realize his dream over ten years ago.
B. He came to China only to learn Chinese martial arts.
C. He had a terrible experience travelling around China.
D. He had a passion for kung fu after becoming an actor.
25. Why is learning martial arts challenging to Oumarou?
A. He didn’t set out to practice martial arts at an early age.
B. He took a negative attitude toward learning martial arts.
C. He encountered an extremely impatient instructor.
D. He had to deal with too much schoolwork every day.
26. What will Oumarou probably do after graduation?
A. He will compete in more competitions in China.
B. He will become an artist starring in action movies.
C. He will travel in China together with his friends.
D. He will instruct children in martial arts in Niger.
27. Which words can best describe Oumarou?
A. energetic and humorous
B. determined and hardworking
C. generous and talented
D. selfless and positive
【答案】24. A 25. A 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章主要介绍了河北大学尼日尔籍留学生So uley mane Hima Oumarou逐梦中国的故事。他痴迷武术,认为武术加深了对中国的了解,他表示未来愿做一名中尼文化交流的使者。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“For one overseas student who has been in China for over a decade(对于一个在中国待了十多年的留学生来说)”及第二段中“So uley mane Hima Oumarou, a Nigerien student at Hebei University in Baoding, Hebei province, first came to the university in 2012 as an undergraduate, not only for an education, but also to achieve his dream of learning the Chinese martial art of kung fu.(2012年,来自河北省保定市河北大学的尼日尔学生So uley mane Hima Oumarou作为一名本科生第一次来到这所大学,不仅是为了学习,也是为了实现他学习中国武术功夫的梦想)”可知,十多年前,Oumarou为了实现自己的梦想出国了。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“‘Learning martial arts has not been easy because I was not young when I started,’ the 36-year-old said(‘学习武术并不容易,因为我开始学习的时候已经不年轻了,’这位36岁的人说)”可知,Oumarou并没有在很小的时候就开始练习武术,所以这对他来说有挑战性。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In the future, he plans to open a kung fu center in Niger after he graduates, and to become an instructor and teach youngsters martial arts.(未来,他计划毕业后在尼日尔开设一家功夫中心,并成为一名教练,教授年轻人武术)”可知,Oumarou毕业后可能会在尼日尔教孩子们武术,故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“So uley mane Hima Oumarou, a Nigerien student at Hebei University in Baoding, Hebei province, first came to the university in 2012 as an undergraduate, not only for an education, but also to achieve his dream of learning the Chinese martial art of kung fu.(2012年,来自河北省保定市河北大学的尼日尔学生So uley mane Hima Oumarou作为一名本科生第一次来到这所大学,不仅是为了学习,也是为了实现他学习中国武术功夫的梦想)”和第五段中“As far as his instructor is concerned, Oumarou is hardworking and energetic.(在他的导师看来,Oumarou工作勤奋,精力充沛)”可知,Oumarou到异国十余年追逐自己的武术梦想,说明他很有决心,且他很勤奋。故选B。
C
From self-driving cars to carebots (care+ robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2035 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia-Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of 20- to 40-person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.
Another study by Pew Research Centre found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create.”
“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people, there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
28. Why are carebots mentioned?
A. To give a definition. B. To provide an example.
C. To make a comparison. D. To explain a theory.
29. What does the report in paragraph 3 show?
A. People will take the place of AI.
B. US technology balances job opportunities.
C. Many people have to change occupations.
D. Big companies are more innovative and flexible.
30. What is Jonathan Grudin’s attitude towards the future of human employment?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Worried
31. Which section of a website is the text most probably taken from?
A. Art. B. Travel. C. Education. D. Technology.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了未来社会的人工智能大发展,大约50%的职业将消失,但失去职业并不等于丢掉工作,只是改变了人们做的是什么,更多的新工作会被创造出来。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“From self-driving cars to carebots (care+ robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people.(从自动驾驶汽车到老年人护理机器人(护理+机器人),技术的快速发展长期以来一直代表着对许多通常由人类完成的工作的可能威胁)”可推断,此处提到护理机器人是为了说明科技快速发展可能对于人类工作存在着威胁而举的例子。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.”(但报告指出,“失去职业并不一定意味着失去工作——只是改变了人们的工作。”)”可知,研究报告发现行业没了并不意味着就丢了工作,只是工作内容发生了改变。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people, there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change(虽然一直都有失业的人,但当我们的人口达到几十亿的时候,就有几十亿的工作机会。有很多事情需要去做,这一点不会改变)”可推断,Jonathan Grudin 对未来的就业形势是满怀希望的。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2035 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses.(但专家们现在认为,随着人工智能(AI)继续改变商业,到2035年,目前存在的近50%的职业将完全没有必要)”结合文章向我们描述了技术的发展使人们失去了很多就业机会,但是这只是一种改革,未来会有更多的就业机会出现。因此文章应该是来自于网站的科技专栏。故选D。
D
Awe experiences typically involve the perception of something incredibly vast or powerful. These are often encounters with nature--such as looking at a broad view of mountains or up at the billions of stars in the night sky. “Awe is the feeling of being in the presence of something vast that goes beyond your understanding of the world,” said Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley.
At the University of Chicago’s Human Nature and Potentials Lab, research has shown that children over the age of four can perceive and respond to awe-inspiring experiences. This early sense of awe influences their motivation for learning and self-perception. When exposed to awe-inspiring visuals, such as vast natural scenes or natural disasters, children feel a “small self” compared to their feelings after viewing everyday nature imagery, which makes them more motivated to explore things that interest them and to understand things in the world that they hadn’t learned much about yet.
While awe is a highly personal experience, evidence suggests that it has significant social effects. In one experiment, participants who were asked to stand staring at tall trees for a minute were more likely to help others than those who looked at a building, suggesting that being in an awe-inspiring environment increases morality and reduces feelings of self-centeredness.
“This is especially critical in the age of social media,” said Dr. Keltner. “We are at this cultural moment of self-center, criticism, and entitlement (优越感); awe gets us out of that. It does this by helping us get out of our own heads and realize our place in the larger context, our communities,” he explained. “Might awe cause people to become more invested in the greater good, giving more to charity, volunteering to help others, or doing more to reduce their impact on the environment? Our research would suggest that the answer is yes.”
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The ways of understanding nature.
B. The definition of awe experiences.
C. The significance of awe experiences.
D. The effect of nature on human perception.
33. What do we know about children who experience awe?
A. They may lose confidence in themselves.
B. They tend to perform better in their studies.
C. They will know more about natural disasters.
D. They are more interested in exploring the world.
34. What can be inferred about awe according to Dr. Keltner?
A. It helps people develop critical thinking.
B. It can improve people’s physical health.
C. It encourages people to reflect on our culture.
D. It has a positive impact on people’s behavior.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Awe Perception in Early Childhood.
B. Awe’s Role in the Age of Social Media.
C. The Power of Awe Drives Us Out of Self-center.
D. Awe-Inspiring Experiences Push People to Learn.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了敬畏的力量驱使我们摆脱自我中心。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Awe is the feeling of being in the presence of something vast that goes beyond your understanding of the world. (敬畏是感觉身处超越你对这个世界认知的巨大事务面前)”可推知,本段讲的是敬畏的定义。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“When exposed to awe-inspiring visuals, such as vast natural scenes or natural disasters, children feel a “small self” compared to their feelings after viewing everyday nature imagery, which makes them more motivated to explore things that interest them and to understand things in the world that they hadn’t learned much about yet. (当看到令人惊叹的景象,比如巨大的自然景观和自然灾难时,与每日观看自然意象相比,孩子感觉到一个“小我”,这让他们更有动力去探索他们感兴趣的事物,去理解世界上他们还没有了解到的东西。)”可知,当孩子们看到令人惊叹的景象时,孩子们会感觉到一个“小小的我”,由此激发他们探索他们感兴趣的事物即使得孩子们对探索世界更感兴趣。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Might awe cause people to become more invested in the greater good, giving more to charity, volunteering to help others, or doing more to reduce their impact on the environment? Our research would suggest that the answer is yes. (敬畏是否会使人们更多地投入到更大的利益中,为慈善事业付出更多,自愿帮助他人,或者做更多的事情来减少对环境的影响?我们的研究表明,答案是肯定的。)”可知,敬畏会让人们更多的投入到慈善事业中,自愿地帮助别人,以及做更多的事情减少对环境的影响即敬畏对人们的行为有着积极的影响。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段主要讲了敬畏体验的定义,第二段主要讲了敬畏体验对儿童的影响,第三段和第四段主要讲了敬畏对人们行为的积极影响,如可以使人们更加投身于更大的善事、自愿帮助他人以及做更多事情来减少他们对环境的影响等,即敬畏可以驱使人们摆脱自我中心的状态。由此可知,短文主要讲的是敬畏的力量驱使我们摆脱自我中心。综上所述,C选项“The Power of Awe Drives Us Out of Self-center(敬畏的力量驱使我们脱离自我中心)”点明了文章主旨。故选C。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

Signs That You Are Growing
Growing is a lifelong process. Here are the signs that show that you are actually growing and not getting stuck in the process.

You start forgiving and understanding other people
When we are young, we are often unforgiving. As we mature, we are better able to understand the world beyond black and white. ____37____. It enables us to look beyond the obvious and let go of simple judgments. We begin to understand better that others have complex (复杂的) lives and personalities, and so we become more willing to forgive their mistakes.

You accept the possibility of being wrong
____39____. They are always able to accept the possibility that they are wrong, that they don’t know something, because there is always more to learn.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了四种表明你变得成熟的迹象。
【36题详解】
根据本段内容“Often, we see how badly people look when they get overly upset due to unimportant things. So the first sign of maturity (成熟) is letting the small things go and not getting angry over a tiny detail that didn’t go as you planned.(通常,我们看到人们因为不重要的事情而过度沮丧时的样子是多么糟糕。所以成熟的第一个标志就是让小事过去,不要因为没有按计划进行的小细节而生气)”可知,本段提到“让小事过去,不要因为没有按计划进行的小细节而生气”,即建议不计较小事情。故B项“你不计较小事”适合作本节的小标题。故选B。
【37题详解】
根据标题“You start forgiving and understanding other people(你开始原谅和理解别人)”;空前“As we mature, we are better able to understand the world beyond black and white.(随着我们的成熟,我们能够更好地理解非黑即白的世界)”及空后“It enables us to look beyond the obvious and let go of simple judgments.(它使我们能够超越显而易见的事物,放弃简单的判断)”可知,本段的主旨是理解他人,更好地理解非黑即白的世界,F选项中understanding对应标题中understanding。故F项“变得更加善解人意是一种力量,而不是软弱”符合语境。故选F。
【38题详解】
根据空前“Immature people don’t know when to commit (承诺) themselves and their energy or resources are always not well employed.(不成熟的人不知道什么时候该承诺自己,他们的精力和资源总是没有得到很好的利用)”及空后“In this way, they can often keep their promises and honor their commitments.(通过这种方式,他们通常可以遵守他们的承诺和履行他们的承诺)”可知,上文提到了不成熟的人的做法,可知本句是在说明成熟的人会怎么做。C选项中mature people与上文Immature people相对应。故C项“相反,成熟的人专注于完成重要的事情”符合语境。故选C。
【39题详解】
根据本节的小标题“You accept the possibility of being wrong(你接受错误的可能性)”及空后“They are always able to accept the possibility that they are wrong, that they don’t know something, because there is always more to learn.(他们总是能够接受自己错了的可能性,接受自己不知道的可能性,因为总有更多的东西需要学习)”可知,后文提到了某种人能够接受自己错了的可能性,认识到有更多的东西需要学习,G选项中Mature people对应后文They。故G项“成熟的人看起来更自信,然而,他们并不是过度自信”符合语境。故选G。
【40题详解】
根据空前“You are never done learning and developing. This means that you don’t set yourself up as the highest authority.(你永远不会停止学习和发展。这意味着你没有把自己设定为最高权威)”可知,上文提到了“没有把自己设定为最高权威”,故本句与上文构成转折,指出这种特性会导致的结果:你会敞开心扉接受其他的想法和新的可能性。故E项“相反,你会敞开心扉接受其他的想法和新的可能性”符合语境。故选E。

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Should We Students Fight Short Videos at Our High School?
Recently, many students have browsed short videos at school. Should we students fight short videos at our high School? Our class have a heated debate. Opinions are divided.
Some students strongly believe that some educational short videos can actually help us learn and expand our knowledge. Also, in our leisure time, they can provide entertainment and relaxation.
However, some others think differently. Short videos can be extremely distracting. They can make us lose focus on our studies and waste precious time that could be spent on learning. They may also disrupt classroom discipline if students are secretly watching them during class.
Personally, rather than completely fighting short videos, we should learn to use them in a proper way. We can limit our consumption and make sure they don’t interfere with our studies.

A student named Sam, a high school student, has been struggling with a particular subject, English. His teacher, Mrs. Adams, notices his difficulties and offers to help him. Sam is hesitant at first but eventually agrees. As they start working together, Sam begins to show some improvement.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
When Sam returned to school after his illness, he was indeed worried that he had fallen far behind. As he walked into Mrs. Adams’ classroom, his heart sank at the thought of all the missed lessons. However, Mrs. Adams was quick to reassure(使安心) him. “Don’t worry, Sam. We’ll catch up together,” she said with a warm smile. She spent extra hours after school, patiently going over the material he had missed. She used practical examples and explanations that are easy to understand to make the concepts clear.
Paragraph 2
With Mrs. Adams’ unwavering (坚定的,始终如一的) support, Sam is determined to do well and works even harder. He threw himself into his English. He spent every free moment poring over(专心阅读,研读) English books and doing extra exercises. Mrs. Adams continued to encourage him, praising his efforts and small victories. As the days passed, Sam’s understanding and interests in English grew. When the exam approached, Sam was nervous but also confident. Unsurprisingly, his hard work paid off. Sam had not only passed the math exam but had scored very well.
【解析】
【导语】本文以Sam在英语学习上的挣扎和成长为主线展开,讲述了他在Mrs. Adams的帮助下克服困难、取得进步的故事。续写部分应强调师生之间的互动以及Sam的个人努力,体现他如何从担心落后到逐步建立自信并最终获得成功的过程。

②由第二段首句内容“在Mrs. Adams始终如一的支持下,Sam在英语方面的进步持续不断。”可知,第二段可描述Sam受到鼓舞后更加积极地学习英语,并最终取得了令人满意的成绩。
2.续写线索:病愈返校——感到担忧——得到老师支持——制定追赶计划——积极参与——利用资源练习——建立自信——准备充分——考试成绩优异

So uley mane Hima Oumarou, a Nigerien student at Hebei University in Baoding, Hebei province, first came to the university in 2012 as an undergraduate, not only for an education, but also to achieve his dream of learning the Chinese martial art of kung fu. He became a fan of kung fu after watching movies starring famous martial artists such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li.
During his studies in Baoding, Oumarou joined the university’s martial arts association and studied under Duan Shuxing, one of the association’s instructors. Following Duan’s instructions, Oumarou began to practice basic moves in 2015, including Eight Extremities Fist, or bajiquan, as well as the associated art of tai chi.
“Learning martial arts has not been easy because I was not young when I started,” the 36-yea--old said, adding that he was forced to overcome difficulties and make more of an effort to learn more advanced moves.
As far as his instructor is concerned, Oumarou is hardworking and energetic. “He always trains hard and has made great progress in the past seven years,” Duan said.
So far, Oumarou has mastered multiple boxing techniques and knows how to use many traditional Chinese weapons.
Apart from the skills he’s learned, martial arts have brought him more. He has made many Chinese friends through learning kung fu and has been to many places around China to participate in competitions.
Oumarou is now a doctoral student and is expected to graduate this year. In the future, he plans to open a kung fu center in Niger after he graduates, and to become an instructor and teach youngsters martial arts. He thinks that will also help him better understand the spirit of martial arts, and also become a cultural communicator between China and Niger.
24. What can we learn about Oumarou from paragraph 1 and paragraph 2?
A. He went abroad to realize his dream over ten years ago.
B. He came to China only to learn Chinese martial arts.
C. He had a terrible experience travelling around China.

D. He had to deal with too much schoolwork every day.
26. What will Oumarou probably do after graduation?

From self-driving cars to carebots (care+ robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2035 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia-Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of 20- to 40-person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.
Another study by Pew Research Centre found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create.”
“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people, there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
28. Why are carebots mentioned?
A. To give a definition. B. To provide an example.
C. To make a comparison. D. To explain a theory.
29. What does the report in paragraph 3 show?
A. People will take the place of AI.
B. US technology balances job opportunities.
C. Many people have to change occupations.
D. Big companies are more innovative and flexible.
30. What is Jonathan Grudin’s attitude towards the future of human employment?
A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Worried
31. Which section of a website is the text most probably taken from?
A. Art. B. Travel. C. Education. D. Technology.
D
Awe experiences typically involve the perception of something incredibly vast or powerful. These are often encounters with nature--such as looking at a broad view of mountains or up at the billions of stars in the night sky. “Awe is the feeling of being in the presence of something vast that goes beyond your understanding of the world,” said Dacher Keltner, a psychologist at the University of California, Berkeley.
At the University of Chicago’s Human Nature and Potentials Lab, research has shown that children over the age of four can perceive and respond to awe-inspiring experiences. This early sense of awe influences their motivation for learning and self-perception. When exposed to awe-inspiring visuals, such as vast natural scenes or natural disasters, children feel a “small self” compared to their feelings after viewing everyday nature imagery, which makes them more motivated to explore things that interest them and to understand things in the world that they hadn’t learned much about yet.
While awe is a highly personal experience, evidence suggests that it has significant social effects. In one experiment, participants who were asked to stand staring at tall trees for a minute were more likely to help others than those who looked at a building, suggesting that being in an awe-inspiring environment increases morality and reduces feelings of self-centeredness.
“This is especially critical in the age of social media,” said Dr. Keltner. “We are at this cultural moment of self-center, criticism, and entitlement (优越感); awe gets us out of that. It does this by helping us get out of our own heads and realize our place in the larger context, our communities,” he explained. “Might awe cause people to become more invested in the greater good, giving more to charity, volunteering to help others, or doing more to reduce their impact on the environment? Our research would suggest that the answer is yes.”
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A The ways of understanding nature.
B. The definition of awe experiences.
C. The significance of awe experiences.
D. The effect of nature on human perception.
33. What do we know about children who experience awe?
A. They may lose confidence in themselves.
B. They tend to perform better in their studies.
C. They will know more about natural disasters.
D. They are more interested in exploring the world.
34. What can be inferred about awe according to Dr. Keltner?
A. It helps people develop critical thinking.
B. It can improve people’s physical health.
C. It encourages people to reflect on our culture.
D. It has a positive impact on people’s behavior.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Awe Perception in Early Childhood.
B. Awe’s Role in the Age of Social Media.
C. The Power of Awe Drives Us Out of Self-center.
D. Awe-Inspiring Experiences Push People to Learn.
