一阅读理解
(2025·广东广州三模)Why do we yawn (打哈欠)? This strange thing people do when they feel tired or bored is actually puzzling. Yawning can be incredibly easy to “catch” — when you see other people yawning, you may often find yourself wanting to yawn, too. Even reading about yawning can make you yawn.
Andrew Gallup, a yawn expert from the State University of New York Polytechnic Institute, explains that a natural yawn has nothing to do with boosting oxygen levels. Instead, it may make you feel more awake and seems to be caused by rises in brain temperature. One study, from Baylor University, suggests that catching a yawn is all about empathy (共情) — the ability to feel the emotions of others. The study shows that people who struggle to empathize with others are less likely to find a yawn catching.
Its not just humans who yawn, though. Scientists have studied the behaviour in chimps (黑猩猩), wolves, sheep, sea animals and pet dogs. Do animals feel empathy too? A study of lions in South Africa found that after yawning, they would synchronize their movements. This shows that a gaping mouth could be a way for the big cats to feel each others feelings, which is particularly important for highly social species such as lions. By copying each other, yawning may actually increase the awareness of a group as a whole.
Gallup says that this behaviour might have developed to keep groups of humans safe. Seeing a person yawning might therefore cause an observer to pay more attention. Gallup conducted a study to test this theory. He showed a number of people pictures of snakes, which are seen as a threat, and frogs, which are not, before and after they had watched a video of others yawning. While watching the video didnt affect their ability to spot the non⁃threatening frogs, they were much better at spotting threatening snakes after watching others yawn.
So the next time someone yawns, dont assume its because theyre bored. A yawn can mean many things, from showing empathy to communicating with others, or even protecting them from danger.
1. What is the finding of the Baylor University study?
A.People can build empathy with the help of yawning.
B.Natural yawning mainly helps increase oxygen levels.
C.People with low empathy are less likely to catch a yawn.
D.Yawning can cause brain temperature to rise significantly.
2. What does the underlined phrase “synchronize their movements” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Perform actions in harmony.
B.Run in different directions.
C.Copy each others emotions.
D.Move up and down randomly.
3. What can we infer about yawning from Gallups study?
A.It could reduce our capacity to maintain attention.
B.It may help improve our ability to recognize threats.
C.It can make us less sensitive to non⁃threatening items.
D.It might get us to be more aware of our surroundings.
4. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?
A.To explain the phenomenon of yawning.
B.To compare yawning in humans and animals.
C.To describe the cultural significance of yawning.
D.To explore impacts of yawning on social behaviour.

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了被代代相传、保护下来的文化——辛巴人的神奇红色美容膏。
1.their 考查代词。根据该空后的名词 ways可知,此处应该用形容词性物主代词来修饰该名词。故填their。
2.accounts 考查名词复数。分析句子可知,此处应填名词,与空前traditions和空后的 practices保持一致,作介词through后的宾语。account意为“描述”,是可数名词,故此处应该用其复数形式。故填accounts。
3.estimated 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,空处是名词population的前置定语。estimate和被修饰词population是动宾关系,故此处应该用过去分词作定语,estimated也可以看作形容词化的过去分词,表示“估计的,预计的”。

8.as 考查介词。be regarded as … 是固定短语, 意为“被认为是……”。 故填as。
9.usually 考查副词。根据下文中的动词 holds可知,此处应该用副词修饰动词。故填usually。
10.standing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句有谓语动词holds,所以空处填非谓语动词。stand和逻辑主语Otjize是主谓关系,故此处应该用现在分词,作伴随状语。故填standing。
