D.Dismissiveandskeptical.【答案】28.C29.D30.D31.A【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章介绍了曼哈顿的斯特兰书店推出的“盲选书籍”活动。该活动将书籍的封面包装起来，只留下简单描述，让顾客在没有任何先入为主印象的情况下挑选书籍。文章讨论了这种活动带来的顾客体验、其背后的心理学原理，以及这一趋势对书店销售的影响。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Peopleareattractedtotheelementofsurprise,andtheelementofsurprisefocusesattentionandcreatesadopamineresponse(人们被惊喜元素所吸引，而惊喜元素能够集中注意力并引发多巴胺反应)”可知，顾客更喜欢“盲选书籍”是因为他们在这种不确定性中体验到刺激和惊喜，激发了多巴胺的反应，产生兴奋感。故选C。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Meanwhile,storeshavefoundanewwaytosellbooksthatareoverlookedbecausetheyarenotnew,best-sellingorpennedbyafamousauthor.(与此同时，书店已经找到了一种销售那些因为非新书、非畅销书或非名家所著而被忽视的书籍的新方法)”可知，这种活动帮助销售那些被忽视的书籍，而这些书籍往往因为不是畅销书或不是出自名作家之手而被忽视。故选D。【30题详解】词义猜测题。根据第四段第二句话和第三句话“Dozensofbookstoreownersaroundthecountrysaidtheydidnotknowwhat“BlindDateBooks”were.Othersdidn’tparticipateinthetrendbecausestorepolicyprohibitsreturnsorexchangeswhicharenecessaryifsomeonehaspickedupabooktheyhavealreadyread.(全国数十家书店店主表示，他们不知道“图书盲选”是什么。还有一些书店没有参与这一潮流，因为书店政策禁止退货或换货，而如果顾客选到了已经读过的书，退货或换货是必要的)”可知，不是所有的书店都能欣然接受这种趋势，D选项中的adopt意思是“正式通过”，符合语意。故选D。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句““Throwingcautiontothewindandlettingsomeoneelsechooseformejustsortoffeelslikeanicechangeofpace,”Ms.Toner,areader,said.“Ineverwentonarealblinddate.‘BlindDateWithaBook’iskindofmyspeed.”(读者托纳（Toner）女士说：“不顾一切让别人替我选择，感觉节奏很不错，算是一种新鲜的改变。我从来没有参加过真正的约会。‘与书相约’正合我的节奏。”)可知，HeatherToner认为让别人为自己挑选书籍是一种“节奏的变化”，从她的话中可以看出，她认为这种方式感到轻松且充满期待，甚至将其比作一种适合自己的“盲约”，说明她对这种体验持一种积极、开放的态度，同时又抱着试一试的心态。故选A。DEnvironmentalDNA(eDNA)hasbecomeacrucialtoolinecologicalresearchoverrecentyears.Byanalyzingwater,soil,orotherenvironmentalmaterialsforDNApieces,researcherscantellthatthousandsofdifferentspecieshavebeeninanareawithouthavingtoobservetheactualspeciespassingthrough.Todate,thiseDNAprocesshasmostlybeenemployedtodetectmarine(海洋的)creatures,insects,andotherwildlife.However,accordingtoapaperpublishedinNatureEcology&Evolution,thistechniquecouldjustaseasilybeappliedtospothumans.AninternationalteamofresearchersbasedattheUniversityofFlorida,USA,demonstratedthathumangenomic(基因组的)informationcanbeeasilydetectedineDNAsamplescollectedfromwater,sand,andeventheair.Whilethiscapabilitycouldhavepracticalapplications,suchasaidinginthesearchformissingpersonsormonitoringpublichealth,theresearchershighlightsignificantmoralconcerns.TheseconcernsincludethelackofagreementfromindividualsfortheirDNAtobecollected,potentialbreaches(侵犯)ofprivacy,andtheriskofgeneticinformationbeingusedforcommercialpurposes.ThisissueisparticularlychallengingforthefieldofeDNA,whichreliesonopenandeasilyaccessibledata.“Itisstandardpracticeinsciencetomakethesedatapubliclyavailable.However,thisalsomeansthatifhumaninformationisnotscreenedout,anyonecouldaccessthisinformation,”saysseniorauthorProfessorDavidDuffy,awildlifediseasegenomicsresearcherattheUniversityofFlorida.“Thisraisesissuesaroundpermission.Doweneedtoaskpermissiontocollectthesesamples?Shouldwebringinsomecontrolstoremovehumangeneticdata?”“Wheneverwemakeatechnologicaladvancement,therearebothbeneficialandconcerningpotentialuses.Thissituationisnodifferent,”Duffyexplains.“Weareraisingtheseissuesearlysothatpolicymakersandsocietyhaveadequatetimetodevelopsuitableguidelines.”32.WhatistheprimaryuseofeDNAinecologicalresearch?A.Identifyingspeciespresentinanarea.
