【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 learning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits. The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began plaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost kneedeep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they39。d felt cold water at first. Another block to awareness is the obsession(癡迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a rubycrowned kinglet and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing. The pressures of time and destination（目的地）are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant campground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what39。s around them. I asked them what they39。d seen. Oh, a few birds, they said. They seemed bent on their destinations. Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations(感覺）. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.（1）What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3? avoid jumping to conclusions. stop plaining all the time. follow the teacher39。s advice. admit mistakes honestly.（2）The bird watchers39。 behavior shows that they __________. very patient in their observation really fascinated by nature only about the names of birds the accuracy of the field guides（3）Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey? natural beauty isn39。t attractive to them. focus on arriving at the camp in time. forest in the dark is dangerous for them. are keen to see rare birds at the destination.（4）In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________. our senses to feel the wonders of the world rid of some bad habits in our daily life our mind to new things and ideas our best to protect nature【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者希望我們能夠運用我們的感官和情感去全方位感受自然的美妙，去感受世界的美好。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“ The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs.”喚醒感官的第一步是在它發(fā)生之前停止預(yù)測我們將要看到和感覺到的東西?？芍髡哒J為在事情發(fā)生前避免過早下結(jié)論。故選A。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“ I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a ‘rubycrowned kinglet’ and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.”我看見觀鳥者發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只鳥，立刻在田野向?qū)Ю锟戳丝?，說：“一只紅寶石王冠的小王”并結(jié)束了。他們不再注意這只鳥，也不觀察它在干什么?？芍@些觀鳥者只是匆匆記下這些鳥的名字，而沒有觀察它們在做什么。故選C。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant campground with just enough time to get there before dark.

Finally, I was alone in my office room in astronaut crew quarters at the Kennedy Space Center, exhausted and ready for bed. And I did what anyone does when they return to their hotel room on a business trip: I turned on the TV. The television news started up: Such and such had happened, people were shocked, blah blah blah. Sports scores. Silly mercials. It didn39。t take more than a minute before I had to turn it off. It felt like my body was rejecting all this input, just as it would reject an organ donation that had the wrong blood type. All of this noise was just pletely foreign to who I was—or, more appropriately, who I had bee. A few hours before, I had been orbiting Earth, seeing our planet from space, flying the most amazing machine ever built by human hands, working with a team that was the absolute success of human. And now here in my room watching what was being sold as news, and with my newfound perspective, I just could not stomach it. My worldview was changed forever in a profound (深刻的) way. The biggest change by far and the one for which I will always be most grateful is this bigpicture perspective. That will stick with me for the rest of my life. Whenever I feel the pressure of modern life, the stress about work, or worry about the future, I remember my time in the space station. Back to seeing the sun set Or watching our galaxy rise on the horizon. Or seeing a sea of lightning flash a hundred times a second. Or simply back to floating weightlessly. When I39。m there in my mind and realize how many billions of these beautiful sunsets there have been and will be in the future, the cares of the world just don39。t seem that pressing. It goes that, Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Living daily life down here on the planet is so much better with this attitude!（1）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word stomach in paragraph 2?
