参考答案

1.答案：B

解析：根据Petsitter中Thisisagoodoptionwhichallowsyourpettostayinafamiliar

environmentandyouwillreceiveregularupdates.（一个很好的选择，可以让你的宠物待

在一个熟悉的环境中，你会收到定期的更新）可知，选择宠物保姆能让你的宠物待在

一个熟悉的环境中。故选B项。

2.答案：B

解析：根据Homeboardert中“Youcaneasilyfindandviewtheirlicensetohomeboard

petsfromthelocalcouncilaswellastheirinsurancedetailsandtraining.（你可以很容易地

从当地议会找到并查看他们的家庭宠物执照，以及他们的保险细节和培”可知，想要

给宠物找一个合适的寄宿家庭，可以查一下当地议会的家庭宠物执照。故选B项。

3.答案：D

解析：根据文章第一段"Petsarepartofourfamilysoit'simportanttofactortheminwhen

planningatripthatyou'renottakingthemwithyouon.PetcharityBlueCrossadvises

planningwellinadvancesoyouknowthatyourpetwillbecomfortable.（宠物是我们家庭

的一部分，所以当你计划不带它们一起旅行时，把它们考虑进去是很重要的。宠物慈

善机构蓝十字会建议提前做好计划，这样你就知道你的宠物会过得很舒服）可知，本

文是写给不计划带宠物出去旅行，而想要宠物得到照顾的人看的。由此推知，“一个

要出差的养宠物的人”会觉得这篇文章有用。故选D项。

4.答案：A

解析：根据第三段中的'Iftheschoolyearhasn'tyetendedforyou,considerwhatyoucando

tomakethefinalecount.Why?Becausewhenitcomestohumanmemory,notallmoments

arecreatedequal.Instead,ourrememberedexperiencesaredisproportionately（不成t比作!J

地）influencedbypeaks（thebestmomentsaswellastheworst）andendings（thelast

moments））。（如果你的学年还没有结束，考虑一下你能做些什么来让结尾有意

义。为什么？因为当涉及到人类记忆时，并不是所有的时刻都是平等的。相反，我们

记忆中的经历不成比例地受到高峰（最好的时刻和最坏的时刻）和结局（最后的时

刻）的影响。）”可知，人类对一段经历的高峰（最好的时刻和最坏的时刻）和结尾

记忆最深，所以作者建议提前考虑学年的结尾方式，从而让它变得有意义。由此可推

测出，作者建议为学年最后一天策划一个特殊的活动。故选A。

5.答案：C

解析：根据第三段中的NobelPrizewinnerDannyKahneman,whodiscoveredthis

phenomenon,calledthisthepeak-endrule.ltsuggeststhatourjudgmentofapastexperience

islargelybasedonitsmostextremepointanditsendpoint..（诺贝尔奖获得者丹尼卡尼曼

发现了这一现象，称之为峰终定律”。这表明，我们对过去经历的判断很大程度上是

基于其最极端的点和终点。）可知，峰终定律表明，我们对过去经历的判断很大程度

上是基于其最极端的点和终点，由此可推断出，一段经历的巅峰和结尾是最容易被记

住的。故选C。

6.答案：D

解析：根据第四段‘Itookadvantageofthepeak-endruleyearsago,whenmygirlswere

youngenoughtowantabedtimestoryeachnight.Irememberthinkingthatwhatever

disagreementandstresshadoccurredthatday,Icouldmakethelastmomentscount.Icould

endonanoteofcalmandactlikethepatientmomIhadn'tquitemanagedtobejusthours

before.（几年前，当我的女儿们还很小，每天晚上都想讲一个睡前故事时，我就利用

了这条峰终定律。我记得当时我在想，无论那天发生了什么分歧和压力，我都能让最

后的时刻有意义。我可以平静地结束，表现得像一个几个小时前我还没能做到的耐心

妈妈。）”可知，本段主要讲述了作者在生活中运用峰终定律，为女儿们读睡前故

事，当一个耐心的妈妈，让每一天的最后时刻变得有意义。故选

7.答案：D

解析：根据最后一段中的Doorganizeendingscarefully.AsSeattleSeahawkscoachPete

Carrollmightsay:Finishstrong.Lastimpressionsareespeciallylasting.（一定要仔细安排结

局。正如西雅图海鹰队教练皮特•卡罗尔可能会说的那样：强势完成比赛。最后的印

象尤其持久。）可知，作者在最后建议读者要仔细安排结尾，并引用皮特•卡罗尔的

话“强势完成比赛”来说明最后的印象会非常持久，强调结尾的重要性，由此可推测

出，作者提到皮特•卡罗尔是为了鼓励读者重视一段经历的最后时刻。故选D项。

8.答案:D

解析：

9.答案：B

解析：

10.答案：C

解析：

11.答案：D

解析：

12.答案：D

解析：根据第—段"It'sgettingattheideasbehindthewords,themeaning,saysAlexander

Huth,anauthorofthestudy."（该研究的作者之一亚历山大•胡特（AlexanderHuth）

说：“这是在理解单词背后的意思。”）根据第二段“Previouseffortstodecode

languagehavereliedonsensorsplaceddirectlyonthesurfaceofthebrain.Thesensorsdetect

signalsinareasinvolvedinexpressingwords.ButtheTexasteam'sapproachisanattempt

to"decodemorefreeformthought,"saysMarcelJust,aprofessorofpsychologyatCaregie

MellonUniversity.（前解码语言的努力依赖于直接放置在大脑表面的传感器。传感器检

测与表达单词有关的区域的信号。但卡耐基梅隆大学的心理学教授马塞尔•贾斯特

说，德克萨斯团队的方法是试图“解码更多自由形式的思想”可知，德克萨斯研究小

组的研究的特别之处是意思可以被理解。

故选D。

13.答案：C

解析：根据第三段Thenewstudycameaboutaspartofanefforttounderstandhowthe

brainprocesseslanguage.Researchershadthreepeoplespendupto16hourseachina

functionalMRIscanner,whichdetectssignsofactivityacrossthebrain.Participantswore

paraphrasedversionofwhataparticipantheard.（这项新研究是为了了解大脑如何处理语

言。研究人员让三个人每人花16个小时在功能性核磁共振扫描仪上，以检测大脑活动

的迹象。参与者戴着耳机，播放来自互联网的音频。这些单词流在整个大脑中产生活

动，而不仅仅是与语音和语言相关的区域。参与者在扫描仪中听了几个小时的故事

后，核磁共振成像数据被发送到电脑上。它学会了将特定的大脑活动模式与特定的词

汇流相匹配。然后是参与者听到的内容的释义版本）”可知，第三段的主要内容是实

验的过程。故选C。

14.答案：C

解析：根据最后一段“Sill,systemsthatdecodelanguagecouldsomedaysupporpeople

whoareunabletospeakbecauseofabraininjuryordisease.Theyarealsoassistingscientists

inunderstandinghowthebrainprocesseswordsandthoughts..（尽管如止匕，解码语言的系

统有一天可能会帮助那些因脑损伤或疾病而无法说话的人。它们还帮助科学家了解大

脑是如何处理文字和思想的）”可知，核磁共振扫描非常值得研究。故选C。

15.答案：B

解析：根据第一段"Scientistshavefoundawaytodecode（解码）astreamofwordsin

thebrainusingMRIscansandartificialintelligence..（科学家们已经找到了一种方法，通

过核磁共振扫描和人工智能来解码大脑中的单词流）”结合文章主要说明了科学家通

过核磁共振扫描和人工智能来解码大脑中的单词流，这项新研究是为了了解大脑如何

处理语言。可知，B选项，一个能读懂你的心的解码器，最符合文章标题。故选B。

16.答案：FGACE

解析：①此空设于段中，与上文的描述形成补充关系。同时下文提到的静默行走的健康

益处与之构成承接关系。上文强调了静默行走避免了分心的元素。如音乐或对话，专注

于心灵、身体与自然的联系。下文则继续闸述了这种行走方式如何对健康有益，是一种

节奏更慢、冲击更小的放松方式。选项F"Unlikeexercise-orientedwalking,itisn'tabout

reachingcertainspeedorsteps.（与以锻炼为导向的行走不同，它不关注达到特定的速度

或步数。）”恰当地衔接了上下文，强调了静默行走与以锻炼为导向的行走在目的上的

不同,因此下是正确选项。

②此空设于段中，与前文内容形成因果逻辑关系。这个空格所在的段落讨论了选择一个

自然环境并全面参与感官体验的重要性。选项G"Insuchanenvironment,youcan

immerseyourselfinthenaturalsoundscape（音景）.（在这样的环境中，你可以沉浸在自然的

声音景观中。）”恰当地说明了"findaquietandpeacefulnaturallocation"的原因，因此G是

正确选项。

③此空设于段中.与上文形成转折关系，同时为下文提出的”无聊的积极影响"提供铺垫。

选项A"Butbeingboredwon'thurtyou.（但是感到无聊不会伤害你。）"恰当地提出了一个

与上文相对的观点，表明尽管无聊可能被视为不愉快的体验，但它并非有害，这为下文科

学家对无聊的积极评价提供了逻辑上的衔接，因此A是正确选项。

④此空设于段尾，是对上文的承接，并呼应段落主题。这个空格所在的段落讨论了开始进

行静默行走的建议。从五分钟开始.逐渐增加到三十分钟。选项CAdjustingtheroutine

graduallycanhelpcaseintotheexperience.（逐渐调整常规可以帮助轻松进入体验。）"与

上文提到的从短时间开始逐步增加时间相呼应.说明逐步调整可以帮助人们适应没有音

乐的行走，因此C是正确选项。

⑤此空设于段中，与前文内容形成逻辑上的解释关系。根据上文提到的完成静默行走后,

要花时间反思任何出现的想法、感受或领悟可知，本句应当提供一个对这种反思行为的

进一步解释或重要性的闸述。选项E"Theycandeepenunderstandingandserveasarecord

ofpersonalgrowth.（它们可以加深理解并作为个人成长的记录。）"正好与上文建议的反

思活动相呼
