58、注相关信息。23A 【解题(ji t)思路】三项含有(hn yu)表示喜欢的词(enjoying，being fond of, dreaming of)，因此本题(bnt)很可能考查某人或某类人的兴趣爱好。【解析】短文指出，寻求刺激的人的一个共同特点就是喜欢刺激的感觉。原文中的strong feelings or sensations与A项中的strong feelings and emotions为同义转述。24D 【解题思路】四项都含有表示动作的词(working，watching，listening to，doing)，这些动词都以动名词的形式出现，因此本题很可能是以what提问，与做什

59、么事情有关。【解析】短文末尾部分提到，追求刺激的人喜欢那些迫使他们挑战极限的新经历，而每天重复相同的事情对于他们来说很无聊。原文中的repeating the same things与D项中的doing daily routines是同义转述。25B 【解题思路】四项都是职业的名称，因此本题考查的很可能是人物的身份。【解析】本题的出题顺序有违常规，本题是这篇短文的最后一个问题，出题点却在短文开头部分，因此给答题造成了一定的难度。短文开头提到，作为心理学家，我们需要问自己如下几个问题由此可知，说话人是位心理学家。Section C 【参考答案】26dominated(被)控制，(受)支配 31i
