protectandpollinate(授粉)coffeeplants.(一项突破性的新研究发现，当鸟类和蜜蜂合作保护咖啡树并为其授粉时，咖啡豆会更大、更丰富)”可知，这是一篇新研究。由此推知，文章也许选自报纸的科学版面。故选C。12．D13．A14．C15．D【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个新的研究发现，人们在价值大致相同的选项中所花的时间要比在价值差异很大的选项中花的时间更多。12．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Ifyoufacetwosimilarvaluedoptionsforwheretoattendcollege,youhaveweighedtheprosandcons,butyoustillhavedifficultydeciding.Youdecidetogiveitmoretime,andthinkaboutitabitmore.(如果你在上哪所大学的问题上面临着两个价值相近的选择，你已经权衡了利弊，但仍然难以做出决定。你决定给它更多的时间，并多考虑一点。)”可知，做决策时，面对选项，人们总是花很长时间考虑。故选D。13．词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的“optionsthatwereroughlyequalinvalue(价值大致相同的选项)”和后句“Inotherwords,peopletooklongerthantheyshouldhavewhendecidingbetweentwoequallyappealingchoices.(换句话说，当人们在两个同样吸引人的选择中做出决定时，他们花的时间比他们应该花的时间长。)”以及“than”可知，划线单词的意思应该和“equal”相反，即参与者在价值大致相同的选项中花的时间，要比在价值差异很大的选项中花的时间更多。所以disparity为“区别”之意，与“difference”同义。可知选A。14．细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Inthesamewaythatwehavedifficultydistinguishingnumbersthatarenearlyequalinvalue,wealsohavedifficultychoosingbetweenoptionsthatareroughlyequallypleasant.(就像我们很难区分价值相近的数字一样，我们也很难在大致相同的选项中做出选择。)”可知，当面临两个很相似的选项的时候，人们反而会犹豫不决。故选C。15．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Whenoptionsareroughlyequal,peopletendtotakealongtimetodecide.Doesthissuggestthatifpeopletakealongtimetodecide,thenoptionsareroughlyequal?Maybeinsomeinstances,thelongerwetaketomakeadecision,thelessitmatterswhatweactuallychoose.(当选项大致相等时，人们往往会花很长时间来做决定。这是否意味着，如果人们花很长时间来做决定，那么选择就会大致相等？也许在某些情况下，我们做决定花的时间越长，我们实际选择什么就越不重要。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了一个新的研究发现，人们在价值大致相同的选项中所花的时间要比在价值差异很大的选项中花的时间更多。所以“Themoretime,thebetterdecision?(时间越多，决定越好?)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。16．G17．B18．C19．F20．E【分析】本文是说明文。喜欢的音乐曲调可以激发积极的记忆，提升你的情绪，并创造一个放松的环境。文章介绍了一些发掘音乐的力量的方式。16．前文“Afavoritemusicaltunecanfuelpositivememories,boostyourmood,andcreatearelaxingsetting.(一首最喜欢的音乐曲调可以激发积极的记忆，提升你的情绪，并创造一个放松的环境。)”说明音乐有很多好处，选项G中有个also，也是再说音乐的好处。且下文与选项的specificways相照应。G项“以特定的方式使用，音乐也是一个支持你的健康的宝贵的工具”符合语境，故选G。17．设空处后文提到“ResearchintheNovember2019PsychologyofSportandExercisefoundthatupbeatmusiccanmakeaworkoutseemlesschallengingandmoreenjoyable(2019年11月的运动和锻炼心理学研究发现，乐观的音乐可以让锻炼看起来不那么具有挑战性，而更令人愉快)”这里的“upbeat”与B项中的“fastbeat”相对应。因此推断B项“打开一些快节奏的音乐”符合语境。故选B。18．设空处为段首。且设空后方有一个转折连词but，后文“Butwakinguptoapleasanttoneinsteadofasharpalarmcanreducemorningsleepinessandimproveefficiency”讲到要伴随愉快的音调的音乐起床，跟睡眠有关。C项中的“asleepaid”一致，因此推断C项“音乐长期以来都作为一种音乐辅助”符合语境。故选C。19．设空处前面“Therightchoiceofmusicalsoappearstobenecessary.”提到正确的音乐选择是有必要的。所以设空与音乐的选择有关。F项“根据ProfessorDiaz-Falcon教授，人们对熟悉的音乐反应最好”与之相符。故选F。20．本段第一句“Manystudieshaveshownthatstudentswholistentoslowandpeacefulsoundshavelessanxiety.”提到很多研究表明，听慢而平和的音乐的学生表现的没有那么焦虑，下文对这种音乐的作用进行解释。E项中的“suchsounds”指代的是这种声音。因此推断E项“下一次你面对一个复杂的任务时，尝试听听这样的音乐”符合语境。故选E。21．A22．C23．D24．C25．B26．D27．A28．B29．D30．C31．B32．A33．D34．C35．B【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者在一次去商店买东西的时候，帮助了一个在自助结账机结账时遇到问题的人的故事。21．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我正要去商店买一星期的食物。A.food食物；B.presents礼物；C.medicine药；D.books书。由第二段的“filledourcartwithfood”可知，作者是去商店买食物。故选A。22．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：它只谈到了世界上的巨大问题，以及我们在Covid-l9中仍然有多么分歧。A.motivated有……动机的；B.convinced确信的；C.divided分裂的；D.impressed印象深刻的。由“inCovid-l9”可知，疫情下人和人之间比较疏远，因此空格处是“分裂的”。故选C。23．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这通常只会让我感到无助。A.confident自信的；B.energetic精力充沛的；C.hesitant犹豫的；D.helpless无助的。由上文的“how____2____weallstillwereinCovid-l9”可知，疫情下人和人之间比较疏远，所以让作者感到无助。故选D。24．考查名词词义辨析。句意：尽管如此，我还是给了儿子一美元，让他把慈善水壶放在商店门口。A.CD光盘；B.toy玩具；C.dollar美元；D.ticket票。由后文的“putinthecharitykettle”可知，是往慈善水壶里捐钱，空格处是“美元”。故选C。25．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我讨厌使用自助结账机。A.suggested建议；B.hated不喜欢；C.admitted承认；D.denied否认。由后文的“Imuchpreferredtochatwiththefriendly____6____”可知，作者不喜欢用自助结账机。故选B。26．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我更喜欢和友好的收银员聊天，但他们面前的队伍有五个人，我没有时间。A.customers顾客；B.waiters服务生；C.managers经理；D.cashiers收银员。由上文的“I____5____usingtheself-checkoutmachines”可知，作者不爱用
