1、EG-TEST1-READINGQuestion 1： thalamic neurons：differences原文： A 段 1-2 句“According to thalamic neurons in the brain's primary visual cortex, which appear to be gender related.”解題思路：根據題目中的“gender differences in vision”可以到 A段中的后面又應該是“differences in the way that men's and women's brains proces

2、s visual data”，進一步講到實驗是有關“thalamic neurons”的，所以可知這里的正確“thalamic neurons”。Question 2：male sex hormones： affected原文：A 段第 3 句“ The development of these neurons is influenced by the male sex hormones”解題思路：解決這題的關鍵是看出文中的 influenced 是題干中 affected 的同義替換，故可知對這些區別能造成影響的是“male sex hormones”。Question 3：(various

3、) stimuli：women/surroundings原文：B 段第 2 句“Previous studies have revealed that in women, these senses are more sensitive to various stimuli in the environment than in men.”解題思路：題干中的“respond more to”和句中的“are more sensitive to”是同義替換，都是表示“對更敏感之意”。這里的“various stimuli”意思是“多種刺激物”。Question 4：the left hemisphe

4、re/the left brain： men/whereas原文：B 段第 3 句“, whereas men generally show activity exclusively in theleft hemisphere of the brain.”解題思路：根據句中“whereas”看到轉折的這句話，題干的意思是“女人用整個大腦來處理噪音”，問大多數男人是怎樣處理的，而文中很明確地說到男人是通過“大腦的左半球”來處理的。Question 5：B：difference/ aromas原文：B 段最后一句“Likewise, research indicates that odoursan

5、d they aremore sensitive to and are able to differentiate and categorise subtle distinctions in aromas better than males.”解題思路：女人對于一些細微的氣味差別更容易辨別出來。故選 B。Question 6： B：color原文：C 段第一句“it was discovered that the males needed a slightly longer wavelength of a colour to detect the same shade as females,

6、and that men were not as good at discriminating between shades.”解題思路：這句話的大意是“男人并不擅長于識別一些明暗度的差別”，故正確選 B。Question 7： A：distracted原文：D 段第 2 句“The researchers discovered that when focusing on a speaker, a man will fixate on the lips of the person, but he is liable to divert his focus to anyaction taking

7、 place behind the person，”解題思路：上面這段話的大意是研究表明，“當一個人說話時，男人會關注說話者的嘴唇，但是卻很容易被說話者后面發生的一些動作所打擾，從而轉移注意力”，所以正確是 A。Question 8： B：body language原文：D 段第 4 句“Former studies showed that women are better able to interpret nonverbal communication”解題思路：“研究表明女人相比之下更擅長去詮釋一些非語言行為”，這里的“nonverbal communication”和題干中的“body

8、 language”是同義，故選 B。Question 9：C：misunderstand原文：D 段倒數第 2 句“The fact that men do not discern, or have troubledecoding, nonverbal cues leads to each sex constantly misconstruing the other's signals.”解題思路：“非語言的提示使得兩性通常會誤解他人的單個動作或到的是 each sex，所以應該選 C。”，這里說Question 10：A：all sides原文：E 段最后一句“ it has be

9、en proved that men have better visual-spatial skills - such as rotating an object in their minds”解題思路：“經證明男人相比較女性有著更好的視覺空間能力例如在大腦中旋轉一個物體”，與題干說的不接觸事物卻能看到事物的各個面是同義，故選 A。Question 11：C：mathematics原文：F 段第 5 句“You might have heard it said that boys are better at mathematics, but Halpern explains that any

10、difference is context dependent.”解題思路：這題只看句的前半句很容易誤選，而后半句說的是 Halpern解釋說到“任何區別都是與環境相關的”，所以這里不能選 A，只能選 C。Question 12-13：BD：Halpern 原文：F 段第 2 句“Halpern is at pains to point out that having different skills is not the same as having different levels of intelligence.”E 段第 3 句和 F 段第 1 句“Diane Halpern beli

11、eves that many of the cognitive differences are biologically innate.”“On the other hand, it is also acknowledged that women are more fluent verbally.” G 段倒數第 2 句“as fathering is very important and many men would make great caregivers.”G 段第 2 句“Halpern explains that women do most of the nurturing in

12、society, such as looking after children and taking care of the elderly, therefore, they tend to opt for paid jobs that require less investment of time.”解題思路：找出文中所有相關點，“Halpern 指出能力不同并不等于智力水平不同”，所以 A 選項錯誤；“Halpern 相信很多認知差別都是天生的，女人比男人言辭更加流利”可以看出 B 選項正確；“很多男人都是很好的照料者”，故 C 錯誤；“女人花的時間照顧孩子，而把時間更少地投資在工作上”，

13、故 D正確；E 選項全文并沒有提到，故不選，正確為 BD。Question 14：C：19th century，原文：第 1 段最后一句“What interested them more was praised the intensity and ferocity of wild landscapes and reckless human emotion.”解題思路：解決這題的關鍵是要看懂第一段最后一句話的意思，這句話說的是“反和魯莽的人類情感”，故正確選 C。抗拘謹，贊揚野性的景色，Question 15：A：Enlightenment原文：B 段第 2 句“Europe in the 1

14、700s was dominatedthat polite intellectualdiscourse in such institutions as coffee houses and debating societies constituted the most sophisticated expression of humanity's capacity for development.”解題思路：綜合上面這段話表達的意思，只有 A 選項符合，B 選項“人類的最高形式”，C“在科學方面鼓勵了大眾的”，D“為政治討論提供更加安全的地方”都不正確，A 選項說的是“充分發揮能力最精致的

15、表達”是同樣的意思，故 A 正確。的潛力”與文中“人類發展Question 16：C：Enlightenment thinkers原文：B 段第 3 句“Enlightenment thinkers loathed the expression of emotion, particularly of fiery, uncontrollable feeling, in their countries.”解題思路：這句話一開始就直接說了 Enlightenment thinkers 厭惡情感的表達，所以很明顯正確選 C。Question 17：satire：not/popular原文：C 段第 3

16、 句“As interest in governance and civic affairs waned, writers began to reject the once-respected literary format of satire.”解題思路：“作家開始忽視曾經受到尊敬的文學形式諷刺”，所以“satire”變得不再受歡迎。Question 18：the supernatural：harmful feelings原文：C 段最后兩句“In Wuthering Heights, for example, Emily Brontë describes the effects

17、of intense, destructive emotions such as jealousy and vengeance. Elements of the supernatural are introduced in the short stories of Edgar Allan Poe.” 解題思路：題干中的“destructive emotions”和文中的“harmful feelings”對應， 根據題干，除了“destructive emotions”之外還有“Elements of the supernatural”被采用，所以應該是 the supernatural。Qu

18、estion 19：Music/music：Romantic ideas原文：D 段第 2 句“This was partly because, freed from the constraints of the Enlightenment era, music was perceived to be the ideal form through which to explore the Romantic notion of a free spirit.”解題思路：“appropriate art form”以及“expression of Romantic ideas”跟文中的“ideal

19、form”和“Romantic notion of a free spirit”相對應，而文中描述的正是音樂，所以這里 應該是“music”。Question 20：burgeoning middle- class：paid for/by原文：D 段第 3 句“Economic shifts also facilitated musics newfound dominance. Whereas musicians, they now earned their living by performing for burgeoning middle- class audiences.”解題思路：題干

20、中的“paid for by sb.”和文中的“earned their living by performingfor”相對應，所以這里花錢的應該是“burgeoning middle- class audiences”。Question 21：a violent force/violent：nature原文：E 段第 5 句“Romantic artists, however, depicted nature as a violent force.”解題思路：根據“nature”可以到這一句，題干中的“natureshown tobethrough depictions”和文中的“depi

21、cted nature as”相對應，表示“自然被描繪成”，這里可以填 a violent force 或者直接填形容詞 violent 都正確。Question 22：portraits：unpleasant原文：F 段第一句“The Romantics also revolutionised the painting of human subjects portraits became a vehicle for examining the darker side of the humanexperience.”解題思路：題干中的“unpleasant aspects of human l

22、ife”和文中的“darker side of thehuman experience”相對應，而表現這種生活面的正是句中提到的“portraits”。Question 23：sculpture：Romantic Movement原文：G 段第 1 句“By the mid-nineteenth century, Romanticism had hugely influenced every art form with the exception of sculpture, which remained stubbornlyimpervious to Romantic influences d

23、ue to the practical constraints of the discipline.”解題思路：題干問的是什么沒有被浪漫運動影響，對應文中 G 段第 1 句話，說的是浪漫“sculpture”。運動影響了很多藝術形式，除了雕塑，所以這里的應該是Question 24：nationalist political movements：Romantic Movement原文：G 段最后一句“Its influence had extended far beyond the arts Most significantly, nationalist political movements

24、 were proliferating across Europe, inspired by the celebration of folklore and indigenous customs in many Romantic art works.”解題思路：題干這句話剛好是 G 段最后兩句話的總結，浪漫運動給藝術，教育都帶來了影響，并且也促進了“nationalist political movements”的增長，這里“proliferating”跟題干中的“growth”是同義，都表示“增長”。故是“(nationalist) political movements”。應該Questi

25、on 25：Enlightenment：Realism原文：H 段 3-4 句“Many authors and artists turned toward Realism, and sought to retrieve some of the values of the Enlightenment, such as the need fordialogue and reasoned debate.”解題思路：這段話的大意是“許多作家和藝術家都轉向了現實，仍然還有一些在追求啟蒙運動的價值”，題干問的是“盡管現實受歡迎，還有什么也是有價值的，相關的”，所以這里的應該是“Enlightenment

26、”。Question 26：(dramatic) (movie) soundtracks：Romantic ideas/currently原文：H 段最后兩句“Romanticism never faded away completely, however.Dramatic movie soundtracks and plotlines in which menadversity to achievegreat triumphs show that the Romantic spirit remains with us to the present day.”解題思路：題干問的是浪漫思想現如今

27、被應用到哪些方面，對應到 H 段最消退，人類反抗逆境贏得成功的這些戲劇電今天仍與我們同在”，所以這里填入的應后兩句，說的是“浪漫永遠影配樂及情節都證明了，浪漫該是“(dramatic) (movie) soundtracks”。Question 27：F：happiness原文：F 段前 2-3 句“what are we to make of the current fervour surrounding the pursuit of happiness? Are we being led toward an illusion by false prophets of positivity?

28、 According to Steven Hayes, a psychology professor at the University of Nevada, we are.”解題思路：這句話采用了自問自答的方式，先問這種對 happiness 的追求是否會對我們產生一種錯誤的幻覺，之后 Steven Hayes 給出了肯定的F。，所以應該選Question 28：B：Medication 原文：C 段解題思路：這道題相對簡單，根據“medication”對應到文中的“medical journal”這個詞，即 C 段，這段中出現的人物剛好是 B 選項。Question 29：A：sad pe

29、ople/remember原文：B 段 3-4 句“Professor Joe Forgas discovered He also found that sadpeople had better recall of past events and feelings,”解題思路：題干說的是“sad people 更容易記住一些事情，對應到 B 段，這個觀點剛好是 Professor Joe Forgas 提出的，故選 A。Question 30：E：teenagers原文：E 段第 6 句到最后“Laura Young, a researcher at Boston College, hasfo

30、und that adolescents or young adults who participate in arts programmes are more likely to experience sadness than their peers,”解題思路：“Laura Young 表明參加藝術的年輕人更容易經歷悲傷，但是藝術也能幫助他們表達自己的憤怒”與題干正好對應，所以這里選 E。Question 31：A：careful/alert原文：B 段最后兩句“Forgas notes that a positive mood indicates comfort and familiar

31、ity, whereas a negative mood alerts the brain to be vigilant. As a result, hebelieves,sadnessencouragesa'moreattentiveandexternallyfocused,information-processing style' whereas happiness prompts us to switch off, making us prone to deception. In other words, bliss is ignorance.”解題思路：題干的意思是“悲

32、傷的人更加謹慎，并且警覺”，這句話正好對應文中的 B 段 Forgas 的觀點，即“悲傷能夠促使更加故選 A。及集中的信息處理風格”，Question 32：F：focus/important原文：F 段倒數第 2 句“What is more important than experiencing the transient flush of happy feelings, he suggests, is moving through life in accordance with our core values. ”解題思路：題干的意思是“人們應該專注于那些對他們重要的事情”，而這句話對應

33、的剛好是 F 段，Hayes 表示，比起經歷起瞬間的幸福，更重要的是依照我們的價值觀一直向前。”所以選 F。Question 33：C：bad decision原文：D 段最后一句“Without the prodding of sadness upon our memory of these situations, we might endlessly repeat these follies with no reason to alter our behaviour.”解題思路：題干的意思是“悲傷能夠我們反復做一些錯誤的決定”，而 D 段最后這句話正好是提干的同義轉換，“沒有悲傷的刺激，我

34、們可能會無止境地重復這些愚蠢的事情”，故選 C。Question 34：D：original material原文：E 段第 5 句“Akinola speculates that this feedback encouraged researchparticipants to dwell on their negativity, and this unearthed hidden feelings and bolstered their creative output.”解題思路：題干的意思是“思考悲傷能夠幫助人們產生一些的東西”，文中這句話說的是 Akinola 推測情感的反饋能夠發掘出一

35、些隱藏的情緒也能支撐他們有一些創造性的”。故選 D。Question 35：NO：less interested原文：A 段第 2 句“There is now a and everyone from self-help gurus tosociological researchers to public policy makers is trying to understand what happiness is and how everyone can get more of it. ”解題思路：題干中說人們對越來越不感，很明顯與文中表達的相反，文中說的是每個人都在盡力了解幸福的含義以及怎

36、樣能擁有NO。故是Question 36：NO：undesirable原文：A 段最后一句“By framing sadness as solely a negative condition, a fetter to free ourselves from, these scholars believe that we may be neglecting an important facet of the human experience.”解題思路：題干中說的“悲傷是不合需要的一種狀態”，而文中 A 段最后一句話說的是這些學者發現，我們可能忽略了人類經歷中很重要的一個方面，可見悲傷對人類來說

37、是很重要的，故是 NO。Question 37：YES：psychology pain原文：C 段第 1 句“In other contexts, sadness allows us to cope with traumatic occurrences and, ultimately, move on from them.”解題思：體感這句話剛好是文中 C 段第一句話的同義替換，故“traumatic”是“（心理）創傷的”的意思。是 YES。Question 38：NO：energetic原文： C 段第 2 句“ Unlike other negative emotions such as

38、anger or fear, sadness drains energy.”力”，很明顯與題目中恰好相反，是 NO，解題思路：文中說的是“悲傷消“drain”的本義是“排出，放出”，在這里指的是“消耗”。Question 39：NOT GIVEN：grief原文：C 段第 4 句“This process, known as grief, serves an important role in helping humans to adjust to loss and to integrate it into their lives.”解題思路：文中只說到 grief 在人們適應得失中扮演著重要

39、的，并沒有談到它在人類生活中出現的頻率，所以這里很明顯是 NOT GIVEN。Question 40：YES：necessary/important原文：A 段最后一句“By framing sadness as solely a negative condition, a fetter to free ourselves from, these scholars believe that we may be neglecting an important facet of the human experience.”B 段第 1 句“Much evidence suggests that s

40、adness plays an important and constructiverole in our lives.”解題思路：這兩段話分別表明了悲傷是人類經歷中必不可少并且十分重要的一部分，所以題干敘述是正確的。EG-TEST2-READINGQuestion 1：C：Manet原文：C 段整段解題思路：題干問的是哪段再描述 Manet 繪畫，而對應到 C 段，剛好這段都在Manet 如何繪畫的。故選 C。Question 2：F：scholars/interested原文：F 段第前兩句“Ever since its debut at the Paris Salon of 1882,

41、whether Manet's seemingly distorted point of view might have been possible after all.”解題思路：F 段整段都在介紹歷史學家以及一些學術工作者對這幅圖感的不同的方面，故選 F。Question 3：E：writer/idea原文：E 段第 1-2 句“Why would Manet engage in such deceit? Perhaps for that very reason: to depict two different states of mind or emotion.”解題思路：E 段

42、開頭采取了自問自答的方式，表達了作者的觀點，“是因為想要描述兩種不同的心理和情感的狀態”。故正確應該是 E。Question 4：D：example原文：D 段第 3 句到最后“In the foreground, for example, disjuncture between reality and illusion.”解題思路：題干問的是“哪一段對于酒吧場景是不真實的給出了例子”，很明顯 D 段從“for example”開始，后面一直在說這種場景是如何不真實的，并且結尾句做了總結，“整體對觀眾的影響就是現實和幻想之間一個夢幻的脫節”。故對應的是 D 段。Question 5：A：pop

43、ularity原文：A 段最后一句“it is now in the possession of The Courtauld Gallery inLondon, where it has alsoe a favourite with the crowds.”解題思路：文章開頭 A 段即描述了這幅畫的受歡迎程度，提到了這幅畫現在在倫敦 Courtauld 畫廊，并且成為人們最喜愛的畫作。所以描述這個繪畫受歡迎程度的應該是 A 段。Question 6：Emmanuel Chabrier：A Bar at the Folies原文：A 段“One of the most critically re

44、nowned paintings of the 19th-century A Bar at the Folies. Originally belonging to the composer Emmanuel Chabrier,” 解題思路：題干問的是誰是 A Bar at the Folies 這幅畫的最初擁有者，而 A 段中很明顯地提到了這幅畫最初是屬于作家 Emmanuel Chabrier，所以這里Emmanuel Chabrier。是Question 7：a black bodice：barmaid原文：B 段第 2 句“A barmaid stands alone behind he

45、r bar, fitted out in a blackbodice that has a frilly white neckline,”解題思路：題干問的是酒吧女侍穿的什么，文中 B 段第 2 句話很明顯的提到了穿的是黑色的緊身衣，這里“fit out”本來的意思是“裝備、配備”，這里引申為“穿”這個含義，故是 a black bodice。Question 8：auditorium：back原文：B 段 4-5 句“but much of the activity in the room takes place in the reflection of a mirror behind th

46、e barmaid. Through this mirror we see an auditorium, bustling with blurred figures and faces”解題思路：題干問的是在畫的背面我們看到了什么，文中說的是“很多事情都發生在女侍后面的鏡子的反射中”后面又說到了“從鏡子中我們可以看到一個禮堂”，可以得出，畫的后面我們能看到的是 auditorium。Question 9：a trapeze artist：perform原文：B 段倒數第 2 句“men in top hatseven the feet of a trapeze artist demonstra

47、ting acrobatic feats above his adoring crowd.”解題思路：題干問的是“誰在為觀眾表演”，文中說的是“甚至連空中飛人的腳都在像那些他們的人群中展示著自己的特技”，所以這里表演的是 a trapezeartist。Question 10：a private studio：Where原文：C 段第 2 句“The painting was largely completed in a private studio belonging to the painter, where the barmaid posed with a number of bottl

48、es ”解題思路：這道題比較容易找到，題干問的是這幅畫的絕大部分是在哪完成的，而文中 C 段的后半部分很直接地說到了“這幅畫大部分是在畫家私人的工作室完成的”。Question 11：E：misrepresents原文：D 段最后一句“The overall impact on the viewer is one of a dreamlike disjuncture between reality and illusion.”解題思路：題干問的是 Manet 歪曲鏡中圖像的原因是什么，D 段從開頭到中間的舉例都在說明這種歪曲的現象，結尾總結句說“整體對觀眾的影響就是現實和幻想之間一個夢幻的脫節

49、”，所以可以知道這里的原因應該是想要感，故選 E。觀眾的真實Question 12：D： alienated原文：E 段第 2 句“Manet seems to be conveying his understanding of the modern workplace, a place - from his perspective - of alienation, where workers felt torn from their 'true' selves and forced to assume an artificial working identity.”解題思路：

50、文中這段話說的是工人們感覺他們并不是真實的自我，而是被迫地去承擔一種的工人。所以這里感覺到被疏遠的原因是覺得自己與其他人不一樣，表現的不是真我。所以選 D。Question 13：A：re-constructed原文：F 段第 2 句“Some have even conducted staged representations of the painting in order to ascertain whether Manet's seemingly distorted point of view might have been possible after all.”解題思路：題

51、干問的是學術工作者在現實中重構了那幅畫的原因，很明顯文中“inorder to”后面說的是原因，是“為了弄明白 Manet 看似扭曲的觀點是否真的有可能”，所以正確選 A。Question 14：viii：無原文：A 段解題思路：A 段主要講的是 Davis 小號的演奏技巧，特色以及獨特風格。“signature sound”以及“distinctive style”都是信號詞，所以對應的是 viii。Question 15：iii：無原文：B 段（首句）解題思路：B 段的首句“he continued his musical education both in the clubs and i

52、n the classroom”說的是“Davis 的教育分成兩個部分；即正統的音樂教育和在爵士的的教育。”對應的是 iii。Question 16： i：無原文：C 段解題思路：C 段的段落大意是“Davis 自創的獨特聲樂，以及自創的爵士樂的新式風格之后引來很多人的追隨與效仿。”從結尾處的“Davis' legacy as one of themost innovative musicians of his era”，意思是“Davis遺產”也可以很容易地判斷出是 i。最創新的音樂家之一的Question 17：ix：無原文：D 段（1-2 句）解題思路：D 段開頭說的“The e

53、arly 1950s, in particular, were a time of greatpersonal turmoil”，這里的“personal turmoil”意思是“個人的或掙扎”與 ix中的“personalstruggles”是同義替換，所以是 ix。Question 18：iv：無原文：E 段（首句）解題思路：E 段開頭提到在他職業生涯的后幾十年，Davis 打破傳統的音樂設置，開始多元化輸出一系列音樂風格，對應的正好是 iv 中的“向新的領域拓展”。故是 iv。Question 19：vi：無原文：F 段（末句）解題思路：F 段末句“From this perspecti

54、ve, Davis' continual revamping of genre was not merely a rebellion, but an evolution, a necessary path that allowed him to releasehis full musical potential.”意思是“戴維斯的持續改進的風格不僅僅是一個,而是一種進化和一個必要的方式,來讓他他的全部音樂潛能”，與這段內容最相關的便是 vi 選項，要注意，這里“revamping”是“改進”的意思，與 vi 中的change 是同義。Question 20：NO：vibrato原文：A

55、 段第2 句“WhereasDavis was taught to play with a long, straight tone, a preference his instructor reportedly drilled into the young trumpeter with a rap on the knuckles every time Davis began using vibrato.”解題思路：這段話說的是 Davis 的導師教他的是長且很直的音調，而并不是題干中說的 vibrato。所以題干描述是錯誤的。Question 21：YES：Julliard原文：B 段 2-3

56、 句“His enrolment in the prestigious Julliard School ofMusic however, that this time at the school was invaluable in terms of developing his trumpet-playing technique and giving him a solid grounding in music theory.”解題思路：根據 Julliard到 B 段，“however”之后文中說到，“在學校的這段時間對于發展他的吹喇叭的技能是無價的并且也給了他在音樂理論上一個堅實的基礎”，與題干中的描述一致，故是 YES。Question 22：NOT GIVEN：New York原文：B 段末句“Much of his early training jazz pantheon such as Coleman Hawki
