turntoberight-brained【答案】（1）A（2）D（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，论述了如何让自己更有创造力，给读者展示了一种心理学理念­­心理角色扮演：遇见更有创造力的自己。（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段可知作者问读者一条裤子可以有多少种不同的用法?并让读者假设自己是一名建筑师，比尔盖茨，带水肺的潜水员，一个中世纪的骑士等等思考同样的问题；再根据第二段”Whatyoujustpracticed--theconsciousactof"wearing"anotherself--isanexercisethat…isessentialtobeingcreative.“可知作者接着说刚才你所练习的­­有意识地"穿戴"另一个自我的行为­­是一种对保持创造力至关重要的练习。这说明作者在第一段问这些问题就是为了引出下文中的"创造力"话题，故选A。（2）考查细节理解。根据第六段”Theseresultssuggestthatcreativityisnotanindividualcharacteristicbuta‘productofcontextandperspective’.Everyonecanbecreative,aslongasheorshefeelslikeacreativeperson.“可知DenisDumas和KevinDunbar的研究结果表明创造力不是个体特征，而是"环境和视角的产物"。每个人都可以有创造力，只要他或她觉得自己是一个有创造力的人。也就是说一个人的创造力是取决于自己的。故选D。（3）考查推理判断。根据第七段中的”AccordingtoDr.Pillay,itworksbecauseitisanactofconsciousunfocus,acollectionofbrainregionsthatspringintoactionwhenyou'renotfocusedonaspecifictaskorthought.“可知据皮莱博士说，心理万圣节之所以有效，是因为它是一种有意识的分散注意力的行为，当你不专注于某一特定任务或思想时，大脑中一系列区域就起作用。这说明心理万圣节有效是因为大脑的某些区域大脑协同工作，故选B。（4）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的”Hebelievesthatthekeytounlockingyourcreativepotentialistochallengethestereotyped(陈词滥调的)advicethaturgesyouto‘believeinyourself.’Infact,youshoulddotheopposite:Believeyouaresomeoneelse.“可知想象自己处在一个新的环境中，或者是一个全新的身份，你会感到从未有过的高效，你让自己更有创造力。由此推断所以要变得有创造力的话，要想象自己有一个全新的身份，也就是把自己想象成另外一个人。故选C。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。4．阅读理解

Collegementalhealthcentersoverburdenedwithanxiousstudents【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】焦虑症已经超越抑郁症成为大学生中最常见的心理健康问题，文章分析焦虑可能产生的原因，以及某些大学为此采取的措施。（1）细节理解题。根据第二段内容Thecausesrangewidely,expertssay,frommountingacademicpressureatearlieragestooverprotectiveparentstoengagementwithsocialmedia（专家称焦虑症的原因多种多样，从早年积累下来的学业压力、家长的过度保护到对社交媒体的强迫性依赖）可知，C项（增加的学习压力）会导致焦虑，故选C。（2）词义猜测题。根据上句内容Accustomedtoextremeparentaloversight,manyseemunabletogovernthemselves.（很多学生都习惯于父母无微不至的监督，几乎没有自制能力。）故这里递进的句子Andwithparentssoaccessible,studentshavehadlessincentivetodeveloplifeskills.（由于家长总在身边，学生们普遍缺乏学习独立生活技能的________。），B项“动力”最符合语境，故划线单词意思为“动力”，选B。（3）细节理解题。根据本段表述的内容：像许多大学的心理咨询中心一样，U.C.F.也设置了多种日常研讨会和治疗小组，以直接或间接的方式解决焦虑、抑郁问题及其触发源。明年秋天，该中心将对一种新的拥有七个模块的认知行为疗法应用程序进行测试，学生可以通过手机获取该应用，并可与治疗师进行简短的视频谈话。故这些治疗小组的目的时为了帮助那些患焦虑症的学生。故选A。（4）主旨大意题。通读全文可看出，文章介绍了焦虑症已经成为美国大学生中最常见心理问题，大学的心理咨询中心已经超负荷，故选D作为标题最合适。6．阅读理解

PracticeYourSocialAbility【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是议论文。主要讨论了在现今社会中很多的社会往活动在进行中，人们看似很幸福。然而，一切都掩盖不了人们在这些幸福场景背后倍感孤独的社会现象。（1）考查词意猜测题。根据第一段可知，如今，尤其是在中国，一切都似乎有利于社会交往，如朋友聚会、KTV、团体旅游、餐饮更紧，打牌和麻将，加上中式“过街组”。可以猜测出下文：回到家中仍然忙着在微信上讨论。所以划线词boisterously的意思是“忙的”，故选C。（2）考查推理判断题。根据第二段第一句，也是主题句However,thesescenescannotalwayseaseasenseofloneliness.以及Alonelymanincrowds.”可知，一个人就算被人包围着也可能感到孤独。故选C。（3）考查细节理解题。根据第三段Einsteinsaid:“Itisnotyourworkingtimebutyoursparetimethatdeterminesthepossibilityofwhetheryouwillbesuccessfulornot.”（爱因斯坦说：“不是你的工作时间，而是你的业余时间决定了你是否成功的可能性。）可知，如果你能让寂寞的时间更有意义，你会更成功。故选D。（4）考查标题判断题。本文主要讨论了在现今社会中很多的社会往活动在进行中，人们看似很幸福。然而，一切都掩盖不了人们在这些幸福场景背后倍感孤独的社会现象。所以最佳标题是B.HappinessandLoneliness，故选B.【点评】寻找文章的主题句了解文章主要论题的关键是找到全文的主题句。主题句通常在文章首段，但是也可能在文章的末段、在文章的某一段落，或者分散在文章的各个段落中。如果每个段落都有主题句，那么把各段落的主题句的中心思想集中起来，即为全文的主题句。7．阅读理解
