參考答案

1.答案：B

解析：根據(jù)Petsitter中Thisisagoodoptionwhichallowsyourpettostayinafamiliar

environmentandyouwillreceiveregularupdates.（一個(gè)很好的選擇，可以讓你的寵物待

在一個(gè)熟悉的環(huán)境中，你會(huì)收到定期的更新）可知，選擇寵物保姆能讓你的寵物待在

一個(gè)熟悉的環(huán)境中。故選B項(xiàng)。

2.答案：B

解析：根據(jù)Homeboardert中“Youcaneasilyfindandviewtheirlicensetohomeboard

petsfromthelocalcouncilaswellastheirinsurancedetailsandtraining.（你可以很容易地

從當(dāng)?shù)刈h會(huì)找到并查看他們的家庭寵物執(zhí)照，以及他們的保險(xiǎn)細(xì)節(jié)和培”可知，想要

給寵物找一個(gè)合適的寄宿家庭，可以查一下當(dāng)?shù)刈h會(huì)的家庭寵物執(zhí)照。故選B項(xiàng)。

3.答案：D

解析：根據(jù)文章第一段"Petsarepartofourfamilysoit'simportanttofactortheminwhen

planningatripthatyou'renottakingthemwithyouon.PetcharityBlueCrossadvises

planningwellinadvancesoyouknowthatyourpetwillbecomfortable.（寵物是我們家庭

的一部分，所以當(dāng)你計(jì)劃不帶它們一起旅行時(shí)，把它們考慮進(jìn)去是很重要的。寵物慈

善機(jī)構(gòu)藍(lán)十字會(huì)建議提前做好計(jì)劃，這樣你就知道你的寵物會(huì)過得很舒服）可知，本

文是寫給不計(jì)劃帶寵物出去旅行，而想要寵物得到照顧的人看的。由此推知，“一個(gè)

要出差的養(yǎng)寵物的人”會(huì)覺得這篇文章有用。故選D項(xiàng)。

4.答案：A

解析：根據(jù)第三段中的'Iftheschoolyearhasn'tyetendedforyou,considerwhatyoucando

tomakethefinalecount.Why?Becausewhenitcomestohumanmemory,notallmoments

arecreatedequal.Instead,ourrememberedexperiencesaredisproportionately（不成t比作!J

地）influencedbypeaks（thebestmomentsaswellastheworst）andendings（thelast

moments））。（如果你的學(xué)年還沒有結(jié)束，考慮一下你能做些什么來(lái)讓結(jié)尾有意

義。為什么？因?yàn)楫?dāng)涉及到人類記憶時(shí)，并不是所有的時(shí)刻都是平等的。相反，我們

記憶中的經(jīng)歷不成比例地受到高峰（最好的時(shí)刻和最壞的時(shí)刻）和結(jié)局（最后的時(shí)

刻）的影響。）”可知，人類對(duì)一段經(jīng)歷的高峰（最好的時(shí)刻和最壞的時(shí)刻）和結(jié)尾

記憶最深，所以作者建議提前考慮學(xué)年的結(jié)尾方式，從而讓它變得有意義。由此可推

測(cè)出，作者建議為學(xué)年最后一天策劃一個(gè)特殊的活動(dòng)。故選A。

5.答案：C

解析：根據(jù)第三段中的NobelPrizewinnerDannyKahneman,whodiscoveredthis

phenomenon,calledthisthepeak-endrule.ltsuggeststhatourjudgmentofapastexperience

islargelybasedonitsmostextremepointanditsendpoint..（諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)獲得者丹尼卡尼曼

發(fā)現(xiàn)了這一現(xiàn)象，稱之為峰終定律”。這表明，我們對(duì)過去經(jīng)歷的判斷很大程度上是

基于其最極端的點(diǎn)和終點(diǎn)。）可知，峰終定律表明，我們對(duì)過去經(jīng)歷的判斷很大程度

上是基于其最極端的點(diǎn)和終點(diǎn)，由此可推斷出，一段經(jīng)歷的巔峰和結(jié)尾是最容易被記

住的。故選C。

6.答案：D

解析：根據(jù)第四段‘Itookadvantageofthepeak-endruleyearsago,whenmygirlswere

youngenoughtowantabedtimestoryeachnight.Irememberthinkingthatwhatever

disagreementandstresshadoccurredthatday,Icouldmakethelastmomentscount.Icould

endonanoteofcalmandactlikethepatientmomIhadn'tquitemanagedtobejusthours

before.（幾年前，當(dāng)我的女兒們還很小，每天晚上都想講一個(gè)睡前故事時(shí)，我就利用

了這條峰終定律。我記得當(dāng)時(shí)我在想，無(wú)論那天發(fā)生了什么分歧和壓力，我都能讓最

后的時(shí)刻有意義。我可以平靜地結(jié)束，表現(xiàn)得像一個(gè)幾個(gè)小時(shí)前我還沒能做到的耐心

媽媽。）”可知，本段主要講述了作者在生活中運(yùn)用峰終定律，為女兒們讀睡前故

事，當(dāng)一個(gè)耐心的媽媽，讓每一天的最后時(shí)刻變得有意義。故選

7.答案：D

解析：根據(jù)最后一段中的Doorganizeendingscarefully.AsSeattleSeahawkscoachPete

Carrollmightsay:Finishstrong.Lastimpressionsareespeciallylasting.（一定要仔細(xì)安排結(jié)

局。正如西雅圖海鷹隊(duì)教練皮特?卡羅爾可能會(huì)說(shuō)的那樣：強(qiáng)勢(shì)完成比賽。最后的印

象尤其持久。）可知，作者在最后建議讀者要仔細(xì)安排結(jié)尾，并引用皮特?卡羅爾的

話“強(qiáng)勢(shì)完成比賽”來(lái)說(shuō)明最后的印象會(huì)非常持久，強(qiáng)調(diào)結(jié)尾的重要性，由此可推測(cè)

出，作者提到皮特?卡羅爾是為了鼓勵(lì)讀者重視一段經(jīng)歷的最后時(shí)刻。故選D項(xiàng)。

8.答案:D

解析：

9.答案：B

解析：

10.答案：C

解析：

11.答案：D

解析：

12.答案：D

解析：根據(jù)第—段"It'sgettingattheideasbehindthewords,themeaning,saysAlexander

Huth,anauthorofthestudy."（該研究的作者之一亞歷山大?胡特（AlexanderHuth）

說(shuō)：“這是在理解單詞背后的意思。”）根據(jù)第二段“Previouseffortstodecode

languagehavereliedonsensorsplaceddirectlyonthesurfaceofthebrain.Thesensorsdetect

to"decodemorefreeformthought,"saysMarcelJust,aprofessorofpsychologyatCaregie

測(cè)與表達(dá)單詞有關(guān)的區(qū)域的信號(hào)。但卡耐基梅隆大學(xué)的心理學(xué)教授馬塞爾?賈斯特

說(shuō)，德克薩斯團(tuán)隊(duì)的方法是試圖“解碼更多自由形式的思想”可知，德克薩斯研究小

組的研究的特別之處是意思可以被理解。

故選D。

13.答案：C

解析：根據(jù)第三段Thenewstudycameaboutaspartofanefforttounderstandhowthe

匯流相匹配。然后是參與者聽到的內(nèi)容的釋義版本）”可知，第三段的主要內(nèi)容是實(shí)

驗(yàn)的過程。故選C。

14.答案：C

解析：根據(jù)最后一段“Sill,systemsthatdecodelanguagecouldsomedaysupporpeople

whoareunabletospeakbecauseofabraininjuryordisease.Theyarealsoassistingscientists

inunderstandinghowthebrainprocesseswordsandthoughts..（盡管如止匕，解碼語(yǔ)言的系

統(tǒng)有一天可能會(huì)幫助那些因腦損傷或疾病而無(wú)法說(shuō)話的人。它們還幫助科學(xué)家了解大

腦是如何處理文字和思想的）”可知，核磁共振掃描非常值得研究。故選C。

15.答案：B

解析：根據(jù)第一段"Scientistshavefoundawaytodecode（解碼）astreamofwordsin

thebrainusingMRIscansandartificialintelligence..（科學(xué)家們已經(jīng)找到了一種方法，通

過核磁共振掃描和人工智能來(lái)解碼大腦中的單詞流）”結(jié)合文章主要說(shuō)明了科學(xué)家通

過核磁共振掃描和人工智能來(lái)解碼大腦中的單詞流，這項(xiàng)新研究是為了了解大腦如何

處理語(yǔ)言?？芍?，B選項(xiàng)，一個(gè)能讀懂你的心的解碼器，最符合文章標(biāo)題。故選B。

16.答案：FGACE

解析：①此空設(shè)于段中，與上文的描述形成補(bǔ)充關(guān)系。同時(shí)下文提到的靜默行走的健康

益處與之構(gòu)成承接關(guān)系。上文強(qiáng)調(diào)了靜默行走避免了分心的元素。如音樂或?qū)υ?，專?/p>

于心靈、身體與自然的聯(lián)系。下文則繼續(xù)閘述了這種行走方式如何對(duì)健康有益，是一種

節(jié)奏更慢、沖擊更小的放松方式。選項(xiàng)F"Unlikeexercise-orientedwalking,itisn'tabout

reachingcertainspeedorsteps.（與以鍛煉為導(dǎo)向的行走不同，它不關(guān)注達(dá)到特定的速度

或步數(shù)。）”恰當(dāng)?shù)劂暯恿松舷挛?，?qiáng)調(diào)了靜默行走與以鍛煉為導(dǎo)向的行走在目的上的

不同,因此下是正確選項(xiàng)。

②此空設(shè)于段中，與前文內(nèi)容形成因果邏輯關(guān)系。這個(gè)空格所在的段落討論了選擇一個(gè)

自然環(huán)境并全面參與感官體驗(yàn)的重要性。選項(xiàng)G"Insuchanenvironment,youcan

immerseyourselfinthenaturalsoundscape（音景）.（在這樣的環(huán)境中，你可以沉浸在自然的

聲音景觀中。）”恰當(dāng)?shù)卣f(shuō)明了"findaquietandpeacefulnaturallocation"的原因，因此G是

正確選項(xiàng)。

③此空設(shè)于段中.與上文形成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，同時(shí)為下文提出的”無(wú)聊的積極影響"提供鋪墊。

選項(xiàng)A"Butbeingboredwon'thurtyou.（但是感到無(wú)聊不會(huì)傷害你。）"恰當(dāng)?shù)靥岢隽艘粋€(gè)

與上文相對(duì)的觀點(diǎn)，表明盡管無(wú)聊可能被視為不愉快的體驗(yàn)，但它并非有害，這為下文科

學(xué)家對(duì)無(wú)聊的積極評(píng)價(jià)提供了邏輯上的銜接，因此A是正確選項(xiàng)。

④此空設(shè)于段尾，是對(duì)上文的承接，并呼應(yīng)段落主題。這個(gè)空格所在的段落討論了開始進(jìn)

行靜默行走的建議。從五分鐘開始.逐漸增加到三十分鐘。選項(xiàng)CAdjustingtheroutine

graduallycanhelpcaseintotheexperience.（逐漸調(diào)整常規(guī)可以幫助輕松進(jìn)入體驗(yàn)。）"與

上文提到的從短時(shí)間開始逐步增加時(shí)間相呼應(yīng).說(shuō)明逐步調(diào)整可以幫助人們適應(yīng)沒有音

樂的行走，因此C是正確選項(xiàng)。

⑤此空設(shè)于段中，與前文內(nèi)容形成邏輯上的解釋關(guān)系。根據(jù)上文提到的完成靜默行走后,

要花時(shí)間反思任何出現(xiàn)的想法、感受或領(lǐng)悟可知，本句應(yīng)當(dāng)提供一個(gè)對(duì)這種反思行為的

進(jìn)一步解釋或重要性的閘述。選項(xiàng)E"Theycandeepenunderstandingandserveasarecord

ofpersonalgrowth.（它們可以加深理解并作為個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)的記錄。）"正好與上文建議的反

思活動(dòng)相呼
