[(2026·全国一卷·高考真题)]
A team of Cambridge psychologists conducted an experiment to compare the cognitive 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."
32. 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.
33. 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.
34. 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.
35. 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.

板块六:语篇翻译(英译汉,黑体词为关键)
Passage A
A recent experiment conducted by a team of psychologists investigated the cognitive effects of art appreciation. Participants were divided into two groups. One group was asked to rate the beauty of each artwork, while the other group simply observed them. The results showed that those who actively engaged with the art performed better on tests of abstract thinking. The researchers concluded that admiring beauty can broaden our minds and initiate deeper thought processes. This finding has significant implications for education, suggesting that art appreciation should be integrated into school curricula.
Passage B
The study also measured the emotional states of participants. Those who judged the beauty of the artworks reported higher levels of transformative feelings, such as being moved or inspired. However, they did not report feeling happier than the control group. This suggests that the positive effect on abstract thinking was not simply due to overall positivity, but rather to the engagement with beauty itself. The researchers emphasized the importance of allowing the mind to wander and reflect, which is becoming increasingly rare in our screen-dominated world.
Passage C
The findings of this study highlight the value of art appreciation in enhancing cognitive abilities. In modern society, we often think in concrete terms and focus on practical tasks. However, the research suggests that taking time to admire beauty can stimulate abstract thinking and creativity. The authors advocate for more opportunities for people to engage with art in their daily lives. They also caution that we should not overlook the benefits of transformative experiences, as they can contribute significantly to personal growth and well-being.
板块七:参考译文(Passage 2 全文翻译)
剑桥大学的一支心理学家团队进行了一项实验,旨在比较仅仅观看艺术与主动判断其美感所产生的认知效果。
在这项研究中,187人被邀请在手工陶器展览期间参观凯特尔庭院画廊。参与者被随机分为两组:“美感组”被要求主动思考然后评价他们所观看的每件物品的美感,而对照组只需将物品的线条画与艺术品本身进行匹配。随后,所有参与者都接受了关于他们如何处理信息以及是以更实际的方式还是更抽象的方式的测试。
在所有参与者中,美感组在抽象思维方面的平均得分比对照组高出近14%。虽然他们被告知这项研究是关于认知过程的,但参与者还被问及兴趣,约有一半的人表示他们有艺术爱好。在这些参与者中,效果更为显著:美感组中有艺术爱好的参与者在抽象思维方面的平均得分比对照组中有艺术爱好的参与者高出25%以上。
参与者的情绪状态也通过在完成画廊任务时询问他们的感受来测量。在所有参与者中,美感组报告的“变革性和超越自我的感受”(如感动、启迪和鼓舞)水平平均比对照组高出23%。然而,重要的是,美感组并没有报告比对照组感到更快乐,这表明是美的参与影响了抽象思维,而不是体验中的整体积极性。
“当我们在屏幕上做某事时,我们通常以非常具体的方式思考,”该研究的资深作者西蒙娜·施纳尔说。“放空思绪、让思维游荡变得越来越罕见,但正是在那时,我们以拓宽思维的方式思考。欣赏艺术之美可能是启动抽象认知过程的理想方式。”

32.B 33.A 34.D 35. D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一项剑桥大学的研究,发现深度欣赏艺术之美能提升抽象思维能力。
【详解】
32. B 事实细节题根据第二段 the "beauty" group was asked to actively consider and then rate the beauty of each object they viewed 可知,审美组的任务是对每件物品的美感进行评价打分,B项是rate the beauty of each object they viewed 的同义替换。
33.A事实细节题 根据第三段首句 Across all participants, those in the beauty group scored almost 14% higher on average than the control group in abstract thinking.可知,审美组比对照组抽象思维的得分高14%,故可排除C、D两项。再结合最后一句 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.可知,审美组中有艺术爱好的参与者比对照组中有艺术爱好的抽象思维得分高25%,故选A项。
34. D 推理判断题 根据四段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可知,评估情绪状态是为了排除"整体积极情绪"这一因素,从而确定真正影响测试结果的是与美的互动,而非快乐情绪,故D项正确。
35.D事实细节题
根据第三段审美组抽象思维得分更高、第四段排除快乐情绪的干扰,以及最后一段最后一句Admiring the beauty of art may be the ideal way to initiate the abstract cognitive processes.可知,欣赏艺术可以促进抽象思维。appreciation of art是Admiring the beauty of art 的同义替换,encourages abstract thinking是initiate the abstract cognitive processes 的同义替换。

板块六 语篇翻译参考译文
Passage A
最近由一支心理学家团队进行的实验调查了艺术欣赏的认知效果。参与者被分为两组。一组被要求评价每件艺术品的美感,而另一组只是观察它们。结果显示,那些积极参与艺术的人在抽象思维测试中表现更好。研究人员得出结论,欣赏美可以拓宽我们的思维并启动更深层次的思维过程。这一发现对教育具有重大意义,表明艺术欣赏应该被纳入学校课程。
Passage B
该研究还测量了参与者的情绪状态。那些判断艺术品美感的人报告了更高水平的变革性感受,如被感动或受到鼓舞。然而,他们并没有报告比对照组感到更快乐。这表明对抽象思维的积极影响不仅仅是由于整体的积极性,而是源于与美本身的参与。研究人员强调了让思维游荡和反思的重要性,这在我们以屏幕为主导的世界中变得越来越罕见。
Passage C
这项研究的发现突显了艺术欣赏在增强 认知能力方面的价值。在现代社会中,我们常常以具体的方式思考,专注于实际任务。然而,研究表明,花时间欣赏美可以激发 抽象思维和创造力。作者倡导人们在日常生活中获得更多参与艺术的机会。他们也告诫我们不应忽视 变革性体验的益处,因为它们可以显著促进个人成长和幸福。
