Scientists have recognized that emotions play an important role in how we learn. Emotions connected to knowledge and understanding are especially important in learning environments. For example,feeling curious can result in a deeper connection with new material,while boredom can slow down learning. Awe(敬畏) is one such emotion,the feeling of coming across something beyond understanding.
Earlier research exploring awe often took place in controlled labs. However,a team of researchers looked into awe in a more natural environment. The researchers asked 131 visitors who planned to watch one of the planetarium's(天文馆) films to the center. Before entering,they answered questions about their knowledge of the film's topic,their first interest in it and background information about themselves. The center was showing three films:one about Earth's climate system,one about the Northern Lights,and one about stars and planets.
After watching their chosen film,the watchers completed some surveys. They scored their interest in the topic again and completed surveys to check the emotions they experienced and see if they thought critically(批判性). Finally,they completed a task to test how well they remembered the film.
The study proved that planetarium films created awe in watchers. They described experiencing awe,stronger or weaker,depending on the film. The film about the Northern Lights drew out a stronger sense of awe. The researchers noted that the film presented information that was more difficult to understand. It might have contributed to the stronger feeling of awe. They also found that watchers who thought critically described feeling more connected to their environment during the awe experience. As for the memory task,the researchers found that experiencing higher levels of awe was connected to lower rightness in noticing mistakes,false(错误的) statements,and inferences(推断). Watchers who had more earlier knowledge were better at finding mistakes and false statements but were more likely to falsely recognize inferences as being from the film.
Perhaps the most important finding was that experiencing awe during the films greatly increased watchers' interest in the topics. This finding supports the idea that awe can start curiosity and drive people to become more interested in science-related subjects.
1. Why does the writer use the example in Paragraph 1?
A. To tell why emotions are connected to understanding.
B. To introduce how emotions are used to explore knowledge.
C. To show how different emotions influence learning activities.
D. To argue why positive emotions improve learning environments.
2. What do the words “contributed to” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Dealt with.
B. Broken through.
C. Taken away.
D. Resulted in.
3. What can we learn from the research mentioned in the passage?
A. The research of awe should be carried out in controlled environments.
B. Critical thinking weakened watchers' sense of connection to the environment.
C. Earlier knowledge was likely to cause wrong judgments(判断) about inferences.
D. The visitors needed to be separated into three groups according to their knowledge.
4. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To show people's choices of films about experiencing awe.
B. To report the influence of awe on learning and interest in science.
C. To argue the solutions to growing interest in science through awe.
D. To introduce the importance of doing research on awe scientifically.

答案
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家关于敬畏这种情感如何影响学习和科学兴趣的研究。
1. C 推理判断题。根据第一段“Emotions connected to knowledge and understanding are especially important in learning environments.”可知作者通过举例说明不同情绪(好奇和无聊)对学习的影响。故选C。 》写作意图题
2. D 词义猜测题。根据上文“The film about the Northern Lights drew out a stronger sense of awe. The researchers noted that the film presented information that was more difficult to understand.”可知关于北极光的电影呈现的信息更难理解,可能导致更强烈的敬畏感,contributed to表示“导致”,与resulted in意思相近。故选D。
3. C 推理判断题。根据第四段“Watchers who had more earlier knowledge were better at finding mistakes and false statements but were more likely to falsely recognize inferences as being from the film.”可知有更多先前知识的观众更擅长发现错误,但更有可能错误地认为推断来自电影,由此可知先前的知识可能导致对推断的错误判断。故选C。 》细节推理题
4. B 推理判断题。结合文章内容可知,本文先介绍情感在学习中的重要性,然后介绍关于敬畏情感的研究,包括研究的过程和结果,如敬畏能增加观众对相关话题的兴趣,由此可知作者写这篇文章的主要目的是报告敬畏对学习和科学兴趣的影响。故选B。 》写作意图题
