Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2025·湖北省部分高中协作体期中考试)
It isn't just the beauty of vast natural wonders like the Grand Canyon that can take your breath away.You can find awe(敬畏)in everyday things.A new research, published in the journal Emotion, found that older adults who took “awe walks” felt more positive emotions in their daily lives.
In the study, 52 older adults aged 60 to 90 were divided randomly into two groups.They were told to take at least one 15-minute walk each week for eight weeks.Volunteers in the “awe group” were instructed in how to inspire awe as they walked.“We asked them to try to see the world with fresh eyes—to take in new details of a leaf or flower, for example,” Sturm says.For example, one participant from the awe group wrote about “the beautiful fall colors and how the leaves were no longer crunchy(嘎吱响)underfoot because of the rain”—the wonder that small children feel as they embrace(拥抱)their expanding world.However, people in the other group were less focused on the world around them.One participant wrote, “I thought about our vacation in Hawaii next Thursday.”
In addition, participants were asked to take selfies in the beginning, middle, and end of each walk.Researchers found that participants who took awe walks showed a “small self”, in which they filled less of their photographs with their own image and more with the background scenery.“When we feel awe, our attention shifts from focusing on ourselves to focusing on the world around us,” Sturm says.“Awe affects our social relationships because it helps us to feel more connected with the world, universe, and other people.” Their smiles also grew broader by the end of the study.“We analyzed the degrees of their smiles in the selfies, and participants who took awe walks displayed greater smiles over time than those who took control walks.The former reported greater positive emotions in general, including more joy and gratitude.”
Participants in the control group took more frequent walks than those people in the awe group, the researchers discovered.But walking more didn't result in positive changes in emotional health or in the way their selfies were taken.This suggests that the results were mainly due to experiencing awe, and not just in spending time exercising.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一项有关“awe walk(敬畏步行)”的研究,研究表明怀敬畏之心步行有利于产生积极的情绪。
1.What were participants in the “awe group” required to do in Paragraph 2?
A.To take a walk each week.
B.To focus on their inner world.
C.To collect leaves after the rain.
D.To explore with childlike curiosity.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“For example, one participant...embrace(拥抱) their expanding world.”可知,研究人员要求敬畏步行组怀着孩子般的好奇心探索路程。故选D。
2.What can we see in the selfies from the awe walks?
A.Close-up images with wide smiles.
B.More attention to themselves.
C.Merely the background scenery.
D.Small figures with bigger smiles.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers found that...more with the background scenery.”和倒数第三句“Their smiles also grew broader by the end of the study.”可知,在敬畏步行组的自拍照中,自己的身体只占一小部分,而且面带灿烂的微笑。故选D。
3.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.Experiencing awe matters.
B.More walks, more joy.
C.Exercises can benefit us.
D.Awe comes with walking.
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段“But walking more didn't...in spending time exercising.”可知,积极健康情绪产生于心怀敬畏,而非只是简单地花时间锻炼。由此可知,作者在最后一段想传达的是心怀敬畏才是真正产生影响的。故选A。
4.Which of the following can be the best title?
A.Awe Walks Promote Your Physical Fitness
B.Experiencing Awe Does Wonders for Everyone
C.Awe Walks Improve Your Positive Emotions
D.Frequent Walks Contribute to Emotional Health
答案:C
解析:标题归纳题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了一项有关“awe walk(敬畏步行)”的研究,研究表明敬畏步行有利于促进积极健康的情绪。所以C项“敬畏步行能促进积极的情绪”最适合作为本文标题。故选C。
