40.F【分析】本文是一篇說明文，從科學(xué)上對冒險(xiǎn)行為進(jìn)行了解釋：冒險(xiǎn)行為與大腦的工作機(jī)制相關(guān)，當(dāng)大腦的快樂中樞被激活時(shí)，人們就會(huì)采取冒險(xiǎn)行為。【36題詳解】上文說有時(shí)我們認(rèn)為一點(diǎn)不必要的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)是值得的，因?yàn)楫?dāng)我們權(quán)衡風(fēng)險(xiǎn)和回報(bào)時(shí)，風(fēng)險(xiǎn)似乎是值得承擔(dān)的，下文又說一些人喜歡那些讓我們感到驚訝和害怕的活動(dòng)，此處需要一個(gè)承上啟下的過渡句，既要與上文形成轉(zhuǎn)折，又要引出下文，故G項(xiàng)（然而，我們并非使用相同的參考標(biāo)準(zhǔn)衡量風(fēng)險(xiǎn)和回報(bào)）符合語境。【37題詳解】根據(jù)本空前的“Risk-takerswerebetterathunting,fighting,orexploring.”可知，冒險(xiǎn)者更擅長打獵、戰(zhàn)斗以及探險(xiǎn)，此處承接上文，擅長這些意味著更大的生存機(jī)會(huì)，B項(xiàng)中的thosethings指代的就是hunting,fighting,orexploring，故B項(xiàng)符合語境。【38題詳解】根據(jù)本空前的“Asaresult,humansdevelopedarangeofcharactertypesthatstillexiststoday.”可知，人類養(yǎng)成了一系列至今仍然存在的性格，此處總結(jié)上文，講的是喜不喜歡賽車與性格之間的關(guān)系，故C項(xiàng)（這完全取決于你的性格）符合語境。【39題詳解】根據(jù)本空前的“Nomatterwhereyouareontherisk-seekingrange,scientistssaythatyourwillingnesstotakerisksincreasesduringyourteenageyears.”可知，不管你身處尋求風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的哪個(gè)階段，青少年時(shí)期，冒險(xiǎn)的意愿會(huì)增加，此處講的還是與青少年時(shí)期有關(guān)的內(nèi)容，D項(xiàng)中的This指代的就是青少年時(shí)期，故D項(xiàng)（這正是你離開家進(jìn)入更廣闊的世界的時(shí)候）符合語境。【40題詳解】本空后的內(nèi)容介紹了大腦的兩種不同的工作方式：對冒險(xiǎn)者來說，大腦中與快樂相關(guān)的部分變得活躍，對一般人來說，大腦中與恐懼相關(guān)的部分變得活躍，故F項(xiàng)（一項(xiàng)新的大腦研究表明，面對緊張環(huán)境時(shí)，我們的大腦會(huì)以不同的方式工作）符合語境。【點(diǎn)睛】在七選五的解題過程中，上下文與選項(xiàng)中出現(xiàn)的具有指代性的詞語往往是判斷答案關(guān)鍵線索，同學(xué)們解題時(shí)要特別注意這些代詞，比如本篇第2題，根據(jù)本空前的“Risk-takerswerebetterathunting,fighting,orexploring.”可知，冒險(xiǎn)者更擅長打獵、戰(zhàn)斗以及探險(xiǎn)，B項(xiàng)中的thosethings指代的就是hunting,fighting,orexploring，說的是擅長這些意味著更大的生存機(jī)會(huì)，再如第4題，根據(jù)本空前的“Nomatterwhereyouareontherisk-seekingrange,scientistssaythatyourwillingnesstotakerisksincreasesduringyourteenageyears.”可知，不管你身處尋求風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的哪個(gè)階段，青少年時(shí)期，你承擔(dān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的意愿都會(huì)增加，D項(xiàng)中的This指代的就是青少年時(shí)期，即：青少年時(shí)期正是你離開家進(jìn)入更廣闊的世界的時(shí)候。三、閱讀理解18.閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。Ayoungmanwasgettingreadytograduatefromcollege.Formanymonthshehadadmiredabeautifulsportscarinadealer'sshowroom,andknowinghisfathercouldwellaffordit,hetoldhimthatwasallhewanted.AsGraduationDayapproached,theyoungmanawaitedsignsthathisfatherhadpurchasedthecar.Finally,onthemorningofhisgraduation,hisfathercalledhimintohisprivatestudy.Hisfathertoldhimhowproudhewastohavesuchafineson,andtoldhimhowmuchhelovedhim.Hehandedhissonabeautifulwrappedgiftbox.Curious,butsomewhatdisappointed,theyoungmanopenedtheboxandfoundalovely,leather-boundBible,withtheyoungman'snameembossedingold.Angrily,heraisedhisvoicetohisfatherandsaid,"WithallyourmoneyyougivemeaBible?"Hethenstormedoutofthehouse,leavingtheBible.Manyyearspassedandtheyoungmanwasverysuccessfulinbusiness.Hehadabeautifulhomeandawonderfulfamily,butrealizinghisfatherwasveryold,hethoughtperhapsheshouldgotoseehim.Hehadnotseenhimsincethatgraduationday.Beforehecouldmakethearrangements,hereceivedatelegramtellinghimhisfatherhadpassedaway,andwilledallofhispossessionstohisson.Heneededtocomehomeimmediatelyandtakecareofthings.Whenhearrivedathisfather'shouse,suddensadnessandregretfilledhisheart.Hebegantosearchthroughhisfather'simportantpapersandsawthestillnewBible,justashehadleftityearsago.Withtears,heopenedtheBibleandbegantoturnthepages.Ashewasreading,acarkeydroppedfromthebackoftheBible.Ithadatagwiththedealer'sname,thesamedealerwhohadthesportscarhehaddesired.Onthetagwasthedateofhisgraduation,andthewords."PAIDINFULL".Howmanytimesdowemissblessingsbecausetheyarenotpackagedasweexpected?Donotspoilwhatyouhavebydesiringwhatyouhavenot;butrememberthatwhatyounowhavewasonceamongthethingsyouonlyhopedfor.Sometimeswedon'trealizethegoodfortunewehaveorwecouldhavebecauseweexpect"thepackaging"tobedifferent.Whatmayappe
