解析：1.attraction吸引;reservation预约;connection联系;decoration装饰。空前说长期以来,艺术家们一直声称酒精和其他药物是激发他们创造力的灵感,因此此处是说醉酒和灵感之间真的有联系吗?故选C项。

2.strengthen加强;damage损害;maintain保持;assess进入。众所周知,酒精会损害人们的执行功能,故选B项。

3.block阻碍;reduce减少;disturb打扰;control控制。上文说酒精会损害人们的执行功能,使人们控制注意力的能力下降,故选D项。

4.remain保持;drop下降;shift转移;increase增加。根据常识可知,兴奋剂属于增加注意力和专注度的药物,故选D项。

5.however;moreover此外;instead相反;therefore因此。空前说这一发现引发了一个问题,空后又说对这个问题的研究很少,前后是转折关系,故选A项。

6.addition增加物;response反应;opposition反对;contrast对比。根据空后举的例子可知,不同的人对药物的反应不同,故选B项。

7.forexample例如;onthecontrary反;asaresult结果;ontheotherhand另一方面。空前说结果可能会因个体对药物的反应而有所不同,空后是对这句话的举例说明,应该用forexample引出所举的例子,故选A项。

8.conceal隐瞒;execute提示;improve提高;delete删除。根据空后"testperformanceforthosewhoarelessintelligent,forthesmartestfolks,thedrugscanhavetheoppositeeffect"可知,兴奋剂可以提高不太聪明的人的测试成绩,但对最聪明的人来说,它可能会产生相反的效果,故选C项。

9.vital重要的;likely可能的;ideal理想的;difficult困难的。本文主要讨论的就是酒精和药物与艺术家的创作灵感之间的关系,因此这解释了为什么艺术家更可能对酒精和药物上瘾,belikelytodo表示“可能做”,故选B项。

10.attracted吸引;contribute捐献;respond回应;withdraw收回。空前说如果更低的执行功能与更多的创造力联系在一起,这也可以解释为什么艺术家、作家和音乐家似乎更可能上瘾,因此此处是说有创造力的人更容易被药物吸引,以其作为灵感的来源,故选A项。

11.responsible负有责任的;illegal不合法的;natural自然的;impossible不可能的。根据空后的"inpartfortheirinitialtalent,this,too,couldmakethemmoreeasilyinfluencedby

12

oncetheystartusing"可知此处是说“如果执行功能的下降在一定程度上对他们最初的天赋负责”,故选A项。

12.confusion混乱;ambition抱负;addiction上瘾;exhaustion耗尽。上文说如果更低的执行功能与更多的创造力联系在一起,这也可以解释为什么艺术家、作家和音乐家似乎更可能上瘾,因此如果执行功能的下降在一定程度上对他们最初的天赋负责,那么一旦他们开始接触酒精或药物,这也会使他们更容易受到上瘾的影响,故选G项。

13.lower降低;monitor监控;function运行;caution警告。根据空后的内容可知,下文是研究报告的作者给人们的警告,故选D项。

14.sacrifice牺牲;privacy隐私;appreciation欣赏;license许可。根据空前的"Whatevertherealrelationshipbetweendrunkenness,addictionandart,theauthors

13

thattheirstudyfindingsdon'tgivepeople..."可知,研究报告的作者们提醒说,他们的研究结果并没有给人们醉酒的许可(理由),故选D项。

15.priority优先权;extreme极端,极度;bottom底部;affection喜爱。根据下文的"drinkingexcessively"可知此处指“过度饮酒”,故选B项。三、答案：1.B;2.B;3.D;4.A;5.D;6.A;7.B;8.B;9.C;10.A;11.A;12.C;13.B;14.D;15.B
