39.D

40.F【分析】本文是一篇说明文，从科学上对冒险行为进行了解释：冒险行为与大脑的工作机制相关，当大脑的快乐中枢被激活时，人们就会采取冒险行为。【36题详解】上文说有时我们认为一点不必要的风险是值得的，因为当我们权衡风险和回报时，风险似乎是值得承担的，下文又说一些人喜欢那些让我们感到惊讶和害怕的活动，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，既要与上文形成转折，又要引出下文，故G项（然而，我们并非使用相同的参考标准衡量风险和回报）符合语境。【37题详解】根据本空前的“Risk-takerswerebetterathunting,fighting,orexploring.”可知，冒险者更擅长打猎、战斗以及探险，此处承接上文，擅长这些意味着更大的生存机会，B项中的thosethings指代的就是hunting,fighting,orexploring，故B项符合语境。【38题详解】根据本空前的“Asaresult,humansdevelopedarangeofcharactertypesthatstillexiststoday.”可知，人类养成了一系列至今仍然存在的性格，此处总结上文，讲的是喜不喜欢赛车与性格之间的关系，故C项（这完全取决于你的性格）符合语境。【39题详解】根据本空前的“Nomatterwhereyouareontherisk-seekingrange,scientistssaythatyourwillingnesstotakerisksincreasesduringyourteenageyears.”可知，不管你身处寻求风险的哪个阶段，青少年时期，冒险的意愿会增加，此处讲的还是与青少年时期有关的内容，D项中的This指代的就是青少年时期，故D项（这正是你离开家进入更广阔的世界的时候）符合语境。【40题详解】本空后的内容介绍了大脑的两种不同的工作方式：对冒险者来说，大脑中与快乐相关的部分变得活跃，对一般人来说，大脑中与恐惧相关的部分变得活跃，故F项（一项新的大脑研究表明，面对紧张环境时，我们的大脑会以不同的方式工作）符合语境。【点睛】在七选五的解题过程中，上下文与选项中出现的具有指代性的词语往往是判断答案关键线索，同学们解题时要特别注意这些代词，比如本篇第2题，根据本空前的“Risk-takerswerebetterathunting,fighting,orexploring.”可知，冒险者更擅长打猎、战斗以及探险，B项中的thosethings指代的就是hunting,fighting,orexploring，说的是擅长这些意味着更大的生存机会，再如第4题，根据本空前的“Nomatterwhereyouareontherisk-seekingrange,scientistssaythatyourwillingnesstotakerisksincreasesduringyourteenageyears.”可知，不管你身处寻求风险的哪个阶段，青少年时期，你承担风险的意愿都会增加，D项中的This指代的就是青少年时期，即：青少年时期正是你离开家进入更广阔的世界的时候。三、阅读理解18.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Ayoungmanwasgettingreadytograduatefromcollege.Formanymonthshehadadmiredabeautifulsportscarinadealer'sshowroom,andknowinghisfathercouldwellaffordit,hetoldhimthatwasallhewanted.AsGraduationDayapproached,theyoungmanawaitedsignsthathisfatherhadpurchasedthecar.Finally,onthemorningofhisgraduation,hisfathercalledhimintohisprivatestudy.Hisfathertoldhimhowproudhewastohavesuchafineson,andtoldhimhowmuchhelovedhim.Hehandedhissonabeautifulwrappedgiftbox.Curious,butsomewhatdisappointed,theyoungmanopenedtheboxandfoundalovely,leather-boundBible,withtheyoungman'snameembossedingold.Angrily,heraisedhisvoicetohisfatherandsaid,"WithallyourmoneyyougivemeaBible?"Hethenstormedoutofthehouse,leavingtheBible.Manyyearspassedandtheyoungmanwasverysuccessfulinbusiness.Hehadabeautifulhomeandawonderfulfamily,butrealizinghisfatherwasveryold,hethoughtperhapsheshouldgotoseehim.Hehadnotseenhimsincethatgraduationday.Beforehecouldmakethearrangements,hereceivedatelegramtellinghimhisfatherhadpassedaway,andwilledallofhispossessionstohisson.Heneededtocomehomeimmediatelyandtakecareofthings.Whenhearrivedathisfather'shouse,suddensadnessandregretfilledhisheart.Hebegantosearchthroughhisfather'simportantpapersandsawthestillnewBible,justashehadleftityearsago.Withtears,heopenedtheBibleandbegantoturnthepages.Ashewasreading,acarkeydroppedfromthebackoftheBible.Ithadatagwiththedealer'sname,thesamedealerwhohadthesportscarhehaddesired.Onthetagwasthedateofhisgraduation,andthewords."PAIDINFULL".Howmanytimesdowemissblessingsbecausetheyarenotpackagedasweexpected?Donotspoilwhatyouhavebydesiringwhatyouhavenot;butrememberthatwhatyounowhavewasonceamongthethingsyouonlyhopedfor.Sometimeswedon'trealizethegoodfortunewehaveorwecouldhavebecauseweexpect"thepackaging"tobedifferent.Whatmayappe
