【正文】 uriosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children bee unclear。 we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning 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 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. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.（1）According to Paragraph 2, pared with adults, children are more ____________. to do wonders to others39。 feelings to develop unpleasant habits to explore the world around them（2）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.（3）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（4）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.（5）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）D（2）A（3）C（4）B（5）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇散文。我們有多久沒有仔細(xì)觀察我們周圍的世界了。作者通過此文要告訴我們：放慢腳步，帶著我們所有的感官來感受周圍世界的奇妙。（1）推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults.

One January, I had to hold two funerals for two elderly women in my munity. Both had died full of years, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon. At the first home, the son of the deceased(過世的)woman said to me, If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It39。s my fault that she died. At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, If only I hadn39。t insisted on my mother39。s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. It39。s my fault that she39。s dead. You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course—keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation—would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby es to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks. He cries, and someone es to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not pletely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.（1）What is said about the two deceased elderly women? lived out a natural life. died of exhaustion after the long plane ride. weren39。t used to the change in weather. died due to lack of care by family members.（2）The author had to conduct the two women39。s funerals probably because . wanted to fort the two families was an official from the munity had great pity for the deceased was minister of the local church（3）People feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because .
