andnowsomescientistsfindthereisproofthattheyalsoliketoplay.（当事情看起来很困难时，勤劳的昆虫可以

乐。故选A项。

29.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Inthiscase,togetridofexternalfactors,scientistsmadesurethebeeshad

adaptedtotheirnewhomeandthattheirenvironmentwasstress-free.（在这种情况下，为了消除外部因素，科学

家们确保蜜蜂已经适应了它们的新家，并且它们的环境没有压力）”可知，科学家通过让蜜蜂有家的感觉从而

在实验中消除外部影响。故选c项。

30.细节理解题。根据第四段中LarsChittka说的“Thisresearchprovidesastrongindicationthatinsectmindsare

farmorecomplicatedthanweimagine.Therearelotsofanimalswhoplayjustforthepurposeofenjoyment,but

mostexamplescomefromyoungmammalsandbirds（这项研究有力地表明，昆虫的思维远比我们想象的复杂。

有很多动物只是为了享乐而玩耍，但大多数例子来自于年轻的哺乳动物和鸟类）”可知，LarsChittka的话表

明了昆虫的思维非常复杂。故选B项。

31.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Thisfindinghaseffectsonourunderstandingofthesenseandwelfareof

insects,which,consequently,encouragesustorespectandprotectwildlifeonEarthevermore（这发现影响了我

D.Thepracticalmeasuretoresistunhealthycuriosity.

【答案】32.B33.A34.D35.D

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了有关好奇心的实验研究及如何减少不健康的好奇心带来的负面

影响。

32.细节理解题。根据第二段第四句"Halfofthepenswoulddeliveranelectricshockwhenclicked.（有半数的笔

在按动时会产生电击）”可知，在实验中有一半的笔带电，即并非所有的笔都带电。Allthepenswerenot

electrified是部分否定，相当于notallthepenswereelectrifiedo故选B项。

33.词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“suchasthesoundoffingernailsonachalkboardandphotographsofdisgusting

insects（比如指甲划过黑板的声音和恶心昆虫的照片）”并结合第二段实验内容可知，第二段用电笔测试了参与

者的好奇心，接下来的实验使用了像指甲划过黑板的声音和恶心昆虫的照片等令人不悦的东西进行测试。

由此推知，划线词irritants与Stimulants”刺激物"意思接近。故选A项。

34.推理判断题。根据第四段第二句"Curiosityisoftenconsideredagoodinstinct一itcanleadtonewscientific

advances,forinstance-butsometimessuchinquirycanbackfire.（好奇心通常被认为是一种有益的本能----比

如它能带来新的科学进步——但有时这种探究可能会适得其反）”可知，Christopher认为好奇心有利有弊。由

此推知，他的态度是客观的。故选D项。

35.主旨大意题。根据第五段“Inafinalexperiment,participantswhowereencouragedtopredicthowtheywould

feelafterviewinganunpleasantpicturewerelesslikelytochoosetoseesuchanimage.Theseresultssuggestthat

imaginingtheoutcomeoffollowingthroughonone'scuriosityaheadoftimecanhelpdeterminewhetheritis

不愉快的图片后的感受的参与者不太可能选择观看这样的图片。这些结果表明，提前想象一个人追随好奇

心的结果可以帮助确定它是否值得努力。“考虑长期后果是减少好奇心可能产生的负面影响的关键，"Hsee

说。换句话说，不要看网上的评论）”可知，本段通过实验结果表明了抵制不健康好奇心的实际措施，即考虑

长期后果。故选D项。
