六、阅读理解
We all want to be successful in our work. But what happens if our success comes at the risk of losing important friendships? If your friends didn’t receive what they were hoping for, your success could make them feel uncomfortable. But does that mean we shouldn’t enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful while others aren’t?
Those of us who value friendships might feel embarrassed for achieving more than our friends. But we deserve (应得) our success, and nothing can take it away. Jealousy (嫉妒) is only natural, but it’s often unreasonable, too. Your success is probably not connected with your friends’ progress, so you shouldn’t feel bad about achieving your goals. If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them. You are not responsible for their weaknesses.
Meanwhile, your friends may think highly of your recent success while hiding their real feelings. They could be jealous, angry or sad that they are not progressing at the same rate. So, be careful not to talk big. It’s a thin line between pride and overconfidence, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.
Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners. Maybe your friends narrowly missed out on a promotion, or experienced pay cuts, which meant they didn’t get what they were expecting. If your work is on a rising path, it doesn’t mean that’s the case for everyone.
Perhaps a step forward in your work means that you don’t spend as much time with your friends as you used to. If you’ve changed a job or moved to a new office, take the time to stay in touch with old friends. Don’t let that hard work go to waste by losing touch with them.
1.Why does the author start the passage with two questions?
A.To show his writing purpose.

2.What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A.We could enjoy our success.
B.Friends will surely help us make progress.
C.Our success will certainly hurt our friends.
D.Our success is linked to our friends’ progress.
3.Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A.If our friends support our success, we should consider their feelings.
B.We should feel sorry for being successful while our friends aren’t.
C.When we achieve great success, we can help our friends make progress.
D.When we achieve great success, we should make our friends proud of us.
4.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.How to avoid hurting a friend.
B.How to enjoy success to the fullest.
C.How to share our success with friends.
D.How to keep relationships between friends.
七、七选五
Nothing beats a friendship that has survived many years. 1 Many have seen some challenges yet overcome (克服) them. Many more others have lost their friendships due to bad habits. That’s because when you keep repeating these bad habits, some friends get fed up and move away. 2 They may just be marking time until they find new friends.
We can build rock-solid (坚若磐石) friendships when we develop good friendship habits and say “no” to the unhelpful ones. Here are some of them.
1. Comparing your friends with others
When you do that, it means you don’t appreciate (欣赏) your friends for who they are and the effort they’re putting in. 3 Maybe you’ve lost sight of the fact that everyone has a different way of life. Instead of making comparisons, respect your friends for the unique journey they’re on.
2. Reminding your friends of their past mistakes
It’s bad enough for someone to think deeply about their own past misjudgments. 4 For a friend to do it — to remind them of their mistakes. Constant (不断的) reminders of what they’ve done wrong can take people down a dark path. Don’t be the one to do that. You may lose a friend forever.
3. Disrespecting their differences
We’re all different, and we should show respect for those differences. 5 Or, when we’re unable to respect those differences, we should apologize to our friends giving reasons why we can’t agree with them. That builds respect.
A.But you know what’s more wrong?
B.What do those regrets lead to eventually?
C.But it can be hard to keep long-term friendships.
D.Nobody is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes.
E.Others may hang around, but with one foot out the door.
F.We have to make room for these differences among our friends.
G.It means you may not fully recognize the different ways each person lives.
八、阅读理解
(2026·全国一卷)A team of Cambridge psychologists conducted an experiment to compare the cognitive (认知的) effects of merely seeing art with actively judging how beautiful it is.
In the study, 187 people were invited to visit Kettle’s Yard gallery during an exhibition of handmade clay objects. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the “beauty” group was asked to actively consider and then rate the beauty of each object they viewed, while the control group just matched a line drawing of the object with the artwork itself. All participants were then tested on how they process information, and whether it’s in a more practical or abstract way.
Across all participants, those in the beauty group scored almost 14% higher on average than the control group in abstract thinking. While they were told the study was about cognitive processes, participants were asked about interests, with around half saying they had an artistic hobby. Among those, the effect was greater: those with an artistic hobby in the beauty group scored over 25% higher on average for abstract thinking than those with an artistic hobby in the control group.
Emotional states of participants were also measured by asking about their feelings while completing the gallery task. Across all participants, those in the beauty group reported an average of 23% higher levels of “transformative and self-transcendent feelings” — such as feeling moved, enlightened and inspired — than the control group. Importantly, however, the beauty group did not report feeling any happier than the control group, suggesting that it was the engagement with beauty that influenced abstract thinking, rather than any overall positivity from the experience.
“We usually think in very concrete terms when doing something on a screen,” said Simone Schnall, senior author of the study. “It’s becoming much rarer to zone out and just let the mind wander, but that’s when we think in ways that broaden our minds. Admiring the beauty of art may be the ideal way to initiate the abstract cognitive processes.”
1.What was the beauty group asked to do with the clay objects?
A.Draw their outlines. B.Give each piece a rating.
C.Compare their prices. D.Make a copy of each piece.
2.Which participants got the highest score on average in the test?
A.Beauty group, with an artistic hobby. B.Beauty group, without an artistic hobby.
C.Control group, with an artistic hobby. D.Control group, without an artistic hobby.
3.Why were the participants’ emotional states measured?
A.To discover their attitudes towards art.
B.To identify their specific thinking patterns.
C.To examine the difficulty of the tasks.
D.To determine factors behind the test results.
4.What is the major finding of the study regarding the appreciation of art?
A.It enhances emotional ties. B.It needs critical thinking skills.
C.It creates positive feelings. D.It encourages abstract thinking.

六、阅读理解
【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了在获得成功时如何与朋友分享才有利于维持友谊。
1.C推理判断题。根据第一段中的两个问题“But what happens if our success comes at the risk of losing important friendships?(但如果我们的成功是以失去重要友谊为代价的呢?) ”和“But does that mean we shouldn’t enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful while others aren’t?(但这是否意味着我们不应该享受我们的成就,以防我们让别人不高兴,或者我们应该为自己的成功而感到遗憾?)”及第二段前两句“Those of us who value friendships might feel embarrassed for achieving more than our friends. But we deserve (应得) our success, and nothing can take it away. (我们这些珍视友谊的人可能会因为比朋友取得的成就多而感到尴尬。但成功是我们应得的,没有什么能夺走它)”可推知,作者用两个问题开始一篇文章是为了引入主题。
2.A细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“But we deserve (应得) our success, and nothing can take it away. (但成功是我们应得的,没有什么能夺走它)”可知,我们可以享受我们的成功。
3.A细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“So, be careful not to talk big. It’s a thin line between pride and overconfidence, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.(所以,注意不要夸夸其谈。骄傲和过度自信之间只有一线之隔,越了这条线,你可能会失去团队支持)”及第四段第一句“Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners.(下次当你想炫耀你的年终胜利,或者高档的新办公室时,考虑一下你的听众)”可知,作者可能会同意如果我们的朋友支持我们的成功,我们应该考虑他们的感受。
4.C主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句“But we deserve (应得) our success, and nothing can take it away. (但成功是我们应得的,没有什么能夺走它)”和倒第二句“If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them. (如果你的朋友不友好,不要害怕远离他们)”可知,第二段主要是讲如果朋友对你的成功表示不友好,可以远离朋友;根据第三段最后两句“So, be careful not to talk big. It’s a thin line between pride and overconfidence, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.(所以,注意不要夸夸其谈。骄傲和过度自信之间只有一线之隔,越了这条线,你可能会失去团队支持)”及第四段第一句“Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners.(下次当你想炫耀你的年终胜利,或者高档的新办公室时,考虑一下你的听众)”和最后一段最后一句“Don’t let that hard work go to waste by losing touch with them.(不要因为与他们失去联系而让你的努力付之东流)”可知,最后三段主要是讲在获得成功时如何与朋友分享才能保持友谊。由此可知,文章主要是论述了如何与朋友分享自己的成功。
七、七选五
【文章大意】本文主要探讨了维持长期友谊的困难,并列举了几种会损害友谊的不良习惯,如与他人比较、反复提及过去的错误、不尊重彼此的差异等,并给出了相应的建议。
1.C根据上文“Nothing beats a friendship that has survived many years. (没有什么能比得上历经多年风雨的友谊。)”可知,这是在赞美长期友谊的珍贵。再结合下文“Many have seen some challenges yet overcome (克服) them. Many more others have lost their friendships due to bad habits. (许多友谊经历了一些挑战但克服了它们。还有更多的友谊因为坏习惯而失去。)”可知,此处需说明另一部分朋友的状态,C选项“But it can be hard to keep long-term friendships. (但维持长期的友谊可能很难。)”承接上文且与下文为转折关系,符合语境。
2.E根据上文“That’s because when you keep repeating these bad habits, some friends get fed up and move away. (这是因为当你不断重复这些坏习惯时,一些朋友会感到厌烦并离开。)”可知,一些朋友会因坏习惯而直接离开。再结合下文“They may just be marking time until they find new friends. (他们可能只是在消磨时间,直到找到新朋友。)”可知,此处需说明另一部分朋友的状态,E选项“Others may hang around, but with one foot out the door. (其他人可能还会在你身边,但已心存去意。)”通过“Others”引出另一种情况,即“虽然还留在身边,但心已经不在了”,与下文的“marking time until they find new friends”完美衔接,逻辑连贯。
3.G根据上文“When you do that, it means you don’t appreciate (欣赏) your friends for who they are and the effort they’re putting in. (当你那样做时,意味着你不欣赏朋友本身以及他们的付出。)”可知,把朋友与他人比较是不欣赏朋友的表现,再结合下文“Maybe you’ve lost sight of the fact that everyone has a different way of life. (也许你忽视了每个人有不同生活方式这一事实。)”可知,此处需进一步说明把朋友与他人比较的错误之处。G选项“It means you may not fully recognize the different ways each person lives. (这意味着你可能没有充分认识到每个人的生活方式是不同的。) ”承接上文,且与下文“everyone has a different way of life”相呼应,符合语境。
4.A根据上文“It’s bad enough for someone to think deeply about their own past misjudgments. (一个人对自己的过去判断失误耿耿于怀已经很糟糕了。)” 可知,这里在说一个人自己纠结于过去已经够糟了。下文“For a friend to do it — to remind them of their mistakes. (而朋友来做这件事——提醒他们的错误。)”是在说朋友来提醒错误更糟糕。因此,空处需要一个能引出“比上述情况更糟的事是什么”的句子。A选项“But you know what’s more wrong?( 但你知道什么是更糟糕的吗?)”以“But”引出转折,用问句形式引出“朋友提醒错误”这一更糟糕的情况,与下文衔接紧密,符合语境。
5.F根据上文“We’re all different, and we should show respect for those differences. (我们都不一样,我们应该尊重这些差异。)”可知,我们要尊重朋友之间的差异,再结合下文“Or, when we’re unable to respect those differences, we should apologize to our friends giving reasons why we can’t agree with them. (或者,当我们无法尊重这些差异时,我们应该向朋友道歉,并说明我们为什么不能同意他们的观点。)”可知,此处需说明尊重朋友差异的具体做法,F选项“We have to make room for these differences among our friends.( 我们必须在朋友中为这些差异留出空间。)”提出了具体做法——“为差异留出空间”,这与“尊重差异”的主题一致,且是下文“无法尊重时道歉”的正面做法,符合语境。
八、阅读理解
【文章大意】主要介绍剑桥心理学家开展对照实验,对比单纯观赏艺术品和主动评判美感分别带来的认知影响,并解读实验结论:主动欣赏艺术之美能够促进抽象思维,让人跳出具体、狭隘的思维方式。
1.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the “beauty” group was asked to actively consider and then rate the beauty of each object they viewed, while the control group just matched a line drawing of the object with the artwork itself.(参与者被随机分成两组:“美感组”被要求主动思考,然后为他们所观看的每一件物品的美感打分,而对照组只是把物品的线条图和这件艺术品实物进行配对。)”可知,美感组要为每件作品打分评级。
2.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Among those, the effect was greater: those with an artistic hobby in the beauty group scored over 25% higher on average for abstract thinking than those with an artistic hobby in the control group.(在那些人当中,效果更加显著:美感组中有艺术爱好的受试者,其抽象思维平均分比对照组中有艺术爱好的受试者高出25%以上。)”以及第四段中的“Across all participants, those in the beauty group reported an average of 23% higher levels of “transformative and self-transcendent feelings” — such as feeling moved, enlightened and inspired — than the control group.(在所有受试者中,审美组受试者所报告的 “蜕变感与自我超越感”(诸如感动、豁然开朗、备受鼓舞这类情绪)平均水平,比对照组高出23%。)”可知,拥有艺术爱好的美感组成员测试平均分最高。
3.D推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Emotional states of participants were also measured by asking about their feelings while completing the gallery task. Across all participants, those in the beauty group reported an average of 23% higher levels of “transformative and self-transcendent feelings” — such as feeling moved, enlightened and inspired — than the control group. Importantly, however, the beauty group did not report feeling any happier than the control group, suggesting that it was the engagement with beauty that influenced abstract thinking, rather than any overall positivity from the experience.(研究人员还通过询问受试者在参观美术馆任务过程中的内心感受,测评了他们的情绪状态。在全部受试者里,美感组汇报的“蜕变感与自我超越感”(例如心生触动、豁然开悟、备受鼓舞等感受)平均分值,比对照组高出23%。但关键的一点是,美感组并未表示自己比对照组更快乐。这就说明,是对美的感知体验影响了抽象思维能力,而非这段经历带来的整体积极情绪在起作用。)”可知,研究者通过检测情绪,排除了积极情绪干扰,找到了造成两组测试分数差距的真实原因,也就是确定测试结果背后的影响因素。
4.D推理判断题。根据第一段的“A team of Cambridge psychologists conducted an experiment to compare the cognitive (认知的) effectmerely seeing art with actively judging how beautiful it is.(剑桥大学的一组心理学家进行了一项实验,旨在比较仅仅观看艺术作品与主动评判其美感所产生的认知效应。)”;第三段中的“Across all participants, those in the beauty group scored almost 14% higher on average than the control group in abstract thinking.(在所有参与者中,美感组的抽象思维平均分比对照组高出近 14%。)”以及第五段中的“Admiring the beauty of art may be the ideal way to initiate the abstract cognitive processes.(欣赏艺术之美或许是启动抽象认知过程的理想途径。)”可知,实验全程数据都体现出主动品鉴艺术美感可以提升抽象思维得分,研究者最终也证实欣赏艺术能够启动抽象认知过程,因此推断欣赏艺术之美促进抽象思维。
九、完形填空
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位65岁的老奶奶坚持健身,积极健康改变自己的生活,消除网络质疑的故事。

六、阅读理解
We all want to be successful in our work. But what happens if our success comes at the risk of losing important friendships? If your friends didn’t receive what they were hoping for, your success could make them feel uncomfortable. But does that mean we shouldn’t enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful while others aren’t?
Those of us who value friendships might feel embarrassed for achieving more than our friends. But we deserve (应得) our success, and nothing can take it away. Jealousy (嫉妒) is only natural, but it’s often unreasonable, too. Your success is probably not connected with your friends’ progress, so you shouldn’t feel bad about achieving your goals. If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them. You are not responsible for their weaknesses.
Meanwhile, your friends may think highly of your recent success while hiding their real feelings. They could be jealous, angry or sad that they are not progressing at the same rate. So, be careful not to talk big. It’s a thin line between pride and overconfidence, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.
Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners. Maybe your friends narrowly missed out on a promotion, or experienced pay cuts, which meant they didn’t get what they were expecting. If your work is on a rising path, it doesn’t mean that’s the case for everyone.
Perhaps a step forward in your work means that you don’t spend as much time with your friends as you used to. If you’ve changed a job or moved to a new office, take the time to stay in touch with old friends. Don’t let that hard work go to waste by losing touch with them.
1.Why does the author start the passage with two questions?
A.To show his writing purpose.
B.To explain how to make friends.
C.To raise the topic of the passage.
D.To tell us the problem between friends.
2.What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A.We could enjoy our success.
B.Friends will surely help us make progress.
C.Our success will certainly hurt our friends.
D.Our success is linked to our friends’ progress.
3.Which of the following will the author probably agree with?
A.If our friends support our success, we should consider their feelings.
B.We should feel sorry for being successful while our friends aren’t.
C.When we achieve great success, we can help our friends make progress.
D.When we achieve great success, we should make our friends proud of us.
4.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.How to avoid hurting a friend.
B.How to enjoy success to the fullest.
C.How to share our success with friends.
D.How to keep relationships between friends.
【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了在获得成功时如何与朋友分享才有利于维持友谊。
1.C推理判断题。根据第一段中的两个问题“But what happens if our success comes at the risk of losing important friendships?(但如果我们的成功是以失去重要友谊为代价的呢?) ”和“But does that mean we shouldn’t enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful while others aren’t?(但这是否意味着我们不应该享受我们的成就,以防我们让别人不高兴,或者我们应该为自己的成功而感到遗憾?)”及第二段前两句“Those of us who value friendships might feel embarrassed for achieving more than our friends. But we deserve (应得) our success, and nothing can take it away. (我们这些珍视友谊的人可能会因为比朋友取得的成就多而感到尴尬。但成功是我们应得的,没有什么能夺走它)”可推知,作者用两个问题开始一篇文章是为了引入主题。
2.A细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“But we deserve (应得) our success, and nothing can take it away. (但成功是我们应得的,没有什么能夺走它)”可知,我们可以享受我们的成功。
3.A细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“So, be careful not to talk big. It’s a thin line between pride and overconfidence, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.(所以,注意不要夸夸其谈。骄傲和过度自信之间只有一线之隔,越了这条线,你可能会失去团队支持)”及第四段第一句“Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners.(下次当你想炫耀你的年终胜利,或者高档的新办公室时,考虑一下你的听众)”可知,作者可能会同意如果我们的朋友支持我们的成功,我们应该考虑他们的感受。
4.C主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句“But we deserve (应得) our success, and nothing can take it away. (但成功是我们应得的,没有什么能夺走它)”和倒第二句“If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them. (如果你的朋友不友好,不要害怕远离他们)”可知,第二段主要是讲如果朋友对你的成功表示不友好,可以远离朋友;根据第三段最后两句“So, be careful not to talk big. It’s a thin line between pride and overconfidence, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.(所以,注意不要夸夸其谈。骄傲和过度自信之间只有一线之隔,越了这条线,你可能会失去团队支持)”及第四段第一句“Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners.(下次当你想炫耀你的年终胜利,或者高档的新办公室时,考虑一下你的听众)”和最后一段最后一句“Don’t let that hard work go to waste by losing touch with them.(不要因为与他们失去联系而让你的努力付之东流)”可知,最后三段主要是讲在获得成功时如何与朋友分享才能保持友谊。由此可知,文章主要是论述了如何与朋友分享自己的成功。
七、七选五
Nothing beats a friendship that has survived many years. 1 Many have seen some challenges yet overcome (克服) them. Many more others have lost their friendships due to bad habits. That’s because when you keep repeating these bad habits, some friends get fed up and move away. 2 They may just be marking time until they find new friends.
We can build rock-solid (坚若磐石) friendships when we develop good friendship habits and say “no” to the unhelpful ones. Here are some of them.
1. Comparing your friends with others
When you do that, it means you don’t appreciate (欣赏) your friends for who they are and the effort they’re putting in. 3 Maybe you’ve lost sight of the fact that everyone has a different way of life. Instead of making comparisons, respect your friends for the unique journey they’re on.
2. Reminding your friends of their past mistakes
It’s bad enough for someone to think deeply about their own past misjudgments. 4 For a friend to do it — to remind them of their mistakes. Constant (不断的) reminders of what they’ve done wrong can take people down a dark path. Don’t be the one to do that. You may lose a friend forever.
3. Disrespecting their differences
We’re all different, and we should show respect for those differences. 5 Or, when we’re unable to respect those differences, we should apologize to our friends giving reasons why we can’t agree with them. That builds respect.
A.But you know what’s more wrong?
B.What do those regrets lead to eventually?
C.But it can be hard to keep long-term friendships.
D.Nobody is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes.
E.Others may hang around, but with one foot out the door.
F.We have to make room for these differences among our friends.
G.It means you may not fully recognize the different ways each person lives.
【文章大意】本文主要探讨了维持长期友谊的困难,并列举了几种会损害友谊的不良习惯,如与他人比较、反复提及过去的错误、不尊重彼此的差异等,并给出了相应的建议。
1.C根据上文“Nothing beats a friendship that has survived many years. (没有什么能比得上历经多年风雨的友谊。)”可知,这是在赞美长期友谊的珍贵。再结合下文“Many have seen some challenges yet overcome (克服) them. Many more others have lost their friendships due to bad habits. (许多友谊经历了一些挑战但克服了它们。还有更多的友谊因为坏习惯而失去。)”可知,此处需说明另一部分朋友的状态,C选项“But it can be hard to keep long-term friendships. (但维持长期的友谊可能很难。)”承接上文且与下文为转折关系,符合语境。
2.E根据上文“That’s because when you keep repeating these bad habits, some friends get fed up and move away. (这是因为当你不断重复这些坏习惯时,一些朋友会感到厌烦并离开。)”可知,一些朋友会因坏习惯而直接离开。再结合下文“They may just be marking time until they find new friends. (他们可能只是在消磨时间,直到找到新朋友。)”可知,此处需说明另一部分朋友的状态,E选项“Others may hang around, but with one foot out the door. (其他人可能还会在你身边,但已心存去意。)”通过“Others”引出另一种情况,即“虽然还留在身边,但心已经不在了”,与下文的“marking time until they find new friends”完美衔接,逻辑连贯。
3.G根据上文“When you do that, it means you don’t appreciate (欣赏) your friends for who they are and the effort they’re putting in. (当你那样做时,意味着你不欣赏朋友本身以及他们的付出。)”可知,把朋友与他人比较是不欣赏朋友的表现,再结合下文“Maybe you’ve lost sight of the fact that everyone has a different way of life. (也许你忽视了每个人有不同生活方式这一事实。)”可知,此处需进一步说明把朋友与他人比较的错误之处。G选项“It means you may not fully recognize the different ways each person lives. (这意味着你可能没有充分认识到每个人的生活方式是不同的。) ”承接上文,且与下文“everyone has a different way of life”相呼应,符合语境。
4.A根据上文“It’s bad enough for someone to think deeply about their own past misjudgments. (一个人对自己的过去判断失误耿耿于怀已经很糟糕了。)” 可知,这里在说一个人自己纠结于过去已经够糟了。下文“For a friend to do it — to remind them of their mistakes. (而朋友来做这件事——提醒他们的错误。)”是在说朋友来提醒错误更糟糕。因此,空处需要一个能引出“比上述情况更糟的事是什么”的句子。A选项“But you know what’s more wrong?( 但你知道什么是更糟糕的吗?)”以“But”引出转折,用问句形式引出“朋友提醒错误”这一更糟糕的情况,与下文衔接紧密,符合语境。
5.F根据上文“We’re all different, and we should show respect for those differences. (我们都不一样,我们应该尊重这些差异。)”可知,我们要尊重朋友之间的差异,再结合下文“Or, when we’re unable to respect those differences, we should apologize to our friends giving reasons why we can’t agree with them. (或者,当我们无法尊重这些差异时,我们应该向朋友道歉,并说明我们为什么不能同意他们的观点。)”可知,此处需说明尊重朋友差异的具体做法,F选项“We have to make room for these differences among our friends.( 我们必须在朋友中为这些差异留出空间。)”提出了具体做法——“为差异留出空间”,这与“尊重差异”的主题一致,且是下文“无法尊重时道歉”的正面做法,符合语境。
八、阅读理解
(2026·全国一卷)A team of Cambridge psychologists conducted an experiment to compare the cognitive (认知的) effects of merely seeing art with actively judging how beautiful it is.
In the study, 187 people were invited to visit Kettle’s Yard gallery during an exhibition of handmade clay objects. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the “beauty” group was asked to actively consider and then rate the beauty of each object they viewed, while the control group just matched a line drawing of the object with the artwork itself. All participants were then tested on how they process information, and whether it’s in a more practical or abstract way.
Across all participants, those in the beauty group scored almost 14% higher on average than the control group in abstract thinking. While they were told the study was about cognitive processes, participants were asked about interests, with around half saying they had an artistic hobby. Among those, the effect was greater: those with an artistic hobby in the beauty group scored over 25% higher on average for abstract thinking than those with an artistic hobby in the control group.
Emotional states of participants were also measured by asking about their feelings while completing the gallery task. Across all participants, those in the beauty group reported an average of 23% higher levels of “transformative and self-transcendent feelings” — such as feeling moved, enlightened and inspired — than the control group. Importantly, however, the beauty group did not report feeling any happier than the control group, suggesting that it was the engagement with beauty that influenced abstract thinking, rather than any overall positivity from the experience.
“We usually think in very concrete terms when doing something on a screen,” said Simone Schnall, senior author of the study. “It’s becoming much rarer to zone out and just let the mind wander, but that’s when we think in ways that broaden our minds. Admiring the beauty of art may be the ideal way to initiate the abstract cognitive processes.”
1.What was the beauty group asked to do with the clay objects?
A.Draw their outlines. B.Give each piece a rating.
C.Compare their prices. D.Make a copy of each piece.
2.Which participants got the highest score on average in the test?
A.Beauty group, with an artistic hobby. B.Beauty group, without an artistic hobby.
C.Control group, with an artistic hobby. D.Control group, without an artistic hobby.
3.Why were the participants’ emotional states measured?
A.To discover their attitudes towards art.
B.To identify their specific thinking patterns.
C.To examine the difficulty of the tasks.
D.To determine factors behind the test results.
4.What is the major finding of the study regarding the appreciation of art?
A.It enhances emotional ties. B.It needs critical thinking skills.
C.It creates positive feelings. D.It encourages abstract thinking.
【文章大意】主要介绍剑桥心理学家开展对照实验,对比单纯观赏艺术品和主动评判美感分别带来的认知影响,并解读实验结论:主动欣赏艺术之美能够促进抽象思维,让人跳出具体、狭隘的思维方式。
1.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the “beauty” group was asked to actively consider and then rate the beauty of each object they viewed, while the control group just matched a line drawing of the object with the artwork itself.(参与者被随机分成两组:“美感组”被要求主动思考,然后为他们所观看的每一件物品的美感打分,而对照组只是把物品的线条图和这件艺术品实物进行配对。)”可知,美感组要为每件作品打分评级。
2.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Among those, the effect was greater: those with an artistic hobby in the beauty group scored over 25% higher on average for abstract thinking than those with an artistic hobby in the control group.(在那些人当中,效果更加显著:美感组中有艺术爱好的受试者,其抽象思维平均分比对照组中有艺术爱好的受试者高出25%以上。)”以及第四段中的“Across all participants, those in the beauty group reported an average of 23% higher levels of “transformative and self-transcendent feelings” — such as feeling moved, enlightened and inspired — than the control group.(在所有受试者中,审美组受试者所报告的 “蜕变感与自我超越感”(诸如感动、豁然开朗、备受鼓舞这类情绪)平均水平,比对照组高出23%。)”可知,拥有艺术爱好的美感组成员测试平均分最高。
3.D推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Emotional states of participants were also measured by asking about their feelings while completing the gallery task. Across all participants, those in the beauty group reported an average of 23% higher levels of “transformative and self-transcendent feelings” — such as feeling moved, enlightened and inspired — than the control group. Importantly, however, the beauty group did not report feeling any happier than the control group, suggesting that it was the engagement with beauty that influenced abstract thinking, rather than any overall positivity from the experience.(研究人员还通过询问受试者在参观美术馆任务过程中的内心感受,测评了他们的情绪状态。在全部受试者里,美感组汇报的“蜕变感与自我超越感”(例如心生触动、豁然开悟、备受鼓舞等感受)平均分值,比对照组高出23%。但关键的一点是,美感组并未表示自己比对照组更快乐。这就说明,是对美的感知体验影响了抽象思维能力,而非这段经历带来的整体积极情绪在起作用。)”可知,研究者通过检测情绪,排除了积极情绪干扰,找到了造成两组测试分数差距的真实原因,也就是确定测试结果背后的影响因素。
4.D推理判断题。根据第一段的“A team of Cambridge psychologists conducted an experiment to compare the cognitive (认知的) effectmerely seeing art with actively judging how beautiful it is.(剑桥大学的一组心理学家进行了一项实验,旨在比较仅仅观看艺术作品与主动评判其美感所产生的认知效应。)”;第三段中的“Across all participants, those in the beauty group scored almost 14% higher on average than the control group in abstract thinking.(在所有参与者中,美感组的抽象思维平均分比对照组高出近 14%。)”以及第五段中的“Admiring the beauty of art may be the ideal way to initiate the abstract cognitive processes.(欣赏艺术之美或许是启动抽象认知过程的理想途径。)”可知,实验全程数据都体现出主动品鉴艺术美感可以提升抽象思维得分,研究者最终也证实欣赏艺术能够启动抽象认知过程,因此推断欣赏艺术之美促进抽象思维。
