10、ast BAs a result COn the whole DFor instance20. Ainflexible BIncapable Cunreliable Dunsuitable1.【答案】C【解析】該題選擇的是介詞，與后面的many worthwhile things一塊做后置定語修飾前面的condition,表明對于許多重要事情來說是一個必要的條件。而A選項from（來自于），C選項like（像）D選項on（關于）均語義不搭。2.【答案】A【解析】此處考察語義一致和對上下文辨析的問題。該空是做put的賓語，通過前面的On the one hand, it's a nece

11、ssary condition _(1) many worthwhile things: child care, friendships, etc. (一方面,信任對許多重要事情來說是必要條件，比如照看孩子，友誼等)；on the other hand 可以得知該題仍然是在講述關于主題 trust的問題，所以只有faith（信任）最合適。而B選項concern（關心，關注），C選項attention（注意），D選項interest（興趣，利益）均不符題意。3.【答案】D【解析】此處考察詞義辨析。前文說到putting your _in the wrong place oft

12、en carries a high _（把放在錯誤的地方通常會帶來巨大的），可以知道該空肯定也是填貶義，但肯定不能是debt債務這種具體含義，所以只能選price，并且carries a high price也指付出高昂的代價。4.【答案】B【解析】此題考察上下文邏輯關系。上一段分析的是信任的利弊，該段所指內容_, why do we trust at all?（我們為什么會要信任？）所以采用了遞進關系，進一步說明信任的具體內容。只有D選項then(然后，那么)最符合語義搭配。而A選項again（再次）表示強調；B選項instead（然而）表轉折；而C選項therefore（因此）表結果，均不

13、符合。5. 【答案】D【解析】此處再一次考察邏輯關系。該空_ people place their trust in an individual or an institution, their brains release oxytocin，a hormone（_人們信任一個人或者一個機構，大腦都會釋放一種荷爾蒙）,只有when（當時）符合上下文語境和邏輯語境。6. 【答案】B【解析】該題是考察定語從句的動賓搭配問題。上一句說當人們產生信任感，大腦就會產生一種荷爾蒙，a hormone that _(6) pleasurable feelings這個that就是定語從句，

14、指這種荷爾蒙能_令人愉悅的感覺，只能是produce 最符合語境。7.【答案】C【解析】考察詞義辨析。該空所填為動詞，并且要求與之后的with形成搭配。and triggers the herding instruct that leads sheep to flock together for safety and prompts humans to _with one another.說明這種荷爾蒙能夠引發一種群居本能，這種本能能讓羊群聚在一起，and的后面的內容也與前面的flock together同義復現。所以只有connect最符合語境。8. 【答案】D【解析】該

15、題考察固定搭配。與exposure to構成固定搭配的關系。表示“接觸”9. 【答案】B【解析】該題考察上下文語義。上文中說到這種荷爾蒙會給人帶來一種愉悅的情緒，通過這個結論，可以得出這種荷爾蒙能讓人有讓人信任的情緒/心緒。只有mood是最合適的答案。10.【答案】A【解析】此處仍然是考察上下文語境。上文中In a study, researchers sprayed oxytocin into the noses of half the subjects; 能從下文得知這也是只本句講另外一組受試者。Conuterparts表示對應物，對應的人。11.【答案】B【解析】此處

16、考察上下文邏輯關系。從后文中的also可以看出前后一致的關系。前文對于這種天賦都是褒義的色彩，所以答案此時應該是lucky。12.【答案】B【解析】同樣也是因為also，說明前后一致關系。只能選擇protect.13.【答案】A【解析】考察固定搭配。A Canadian study found that children as young as 14 months can differentiate _ a credible person and a dishonest one. 選則between 意為：14個月大的孩子能在誠實和不誠實的人之間進行區分。14.【答案】C【

17、解析】考察搭配。結合原文語境，“Sixty toddlers were each_to adult tester holding a plastic container”選項C“be introduced to sth ”表示“初次認識某物。”符合原文語境。15.【答案】D【解析】本題考察借此搭配及詞義復現。根據原文“whats in here?”before looking into the container.Each subject was then invited to _.” 選項D與前文所表達的in here和looking into相關。因此D為正選。16.【答案】A【

18、解析】本題考察詞義復現。根據語境“half of them found a toy; the other half 16 the container was empty.”這是用分好并列連接的兩個句子，屬于并列關系。因此，前半句講一般的受測者在盒子里面找到了玩具，后半句在肯定其他人會怎么說。像個小分局的結構基本一直。因此本題填入的含義應該與found 含義相同。因此，A選項發現為正選。17.【答案】C【解析】根據本題語境，此句在破折號后面，是對前面的意思解釋說明。前面提到了另一半人發現盒子是空的，并且易世達測試者對他們怎么樣。既然盒子是空的，那么肯定認識到測試者是在戲弄他們，所以對此題必須要理解測試者是主語，賓語是Them 指的是受測者。主語的含義決定了謂語的含義為戲弄。因此C選項為正選。18.【答案】B【解析】考察搭配。根據句子結構我們可以看出逗號之前是一個介詞短語，意為在所有沒有被戲弄過的孩子里面，大多數的孩子在習得一種新技能的時候與測試者的合作是如何的。Demonstrating that they trusted his leadership 表明這些孩子信任他的領導。因此，既然信任他們就表示愿意合作。所B選項willing to do 構成固定搭配。19.【答案】A【解析】本題考察邏輯關系。根據原文語
