【答案】28.A29.C30.B31.D

【導語】這是一篇說明文。主要介紹了一項研究結(jié)果表明昆蟲的思維比人類想象的復雜。這項研究對于保

護昆蟲有很大的作用。

28.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中"Thehard-workinginsectscanchangetheirbehaviorwhenthingsseemdifficult,

andnowsomescientistsfindthereisproofthattheyalsoliketoplay.（當事情看起來很困難時，勤勞的昆蟲可以

改變它們的行為，現(xiàn)在一些科學家發(fā)現(xiàn)有證據(jù)表明它們也喜歡玩耍）”可知，關(guān)于蜜蜂的新發(fā)現(xiàn)是它們喜歡玩

樂。故選A項。

29.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Inthiscase,togetridofexternalfactors,scientistsmadesurethebeeshad

adaptedtotheirnewhomeandthattheirenvironmentwasstress-free.（在這種情況下，為了消除外部因素，科學

家們確保蜜蜂已經(jīng)適應(yīng)了它們的新家，并且它們的環(huán)境沒有壓力）”可知，科學家通過讓蜜蜂有家的感覺從而

在實驗中消除外部影響。故選c項。

30.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中LarsChittka說的“Thisresearchprovidesastrongindicationthatinsectmindsare

farmorecomplicatedthanweimagine.Therearelotsofanimalswhoplayjustforthepurposeofenjoyment,but

mostexamplescomefromyoungmammalsandbirds（這項研究有力地表明，昆蟲的思維遠比我們想象的復雜。

有很多動物只是為了享樂而玩耍，但大多數(shù)例子來自于年輕的哺乳動物和鳥類）”可知，LarsChittka的話表

明了昆蟲的思維非常復雜。故選B項。

31.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Thisfindinghaseffectsonourunderstandingofthesenseandwelfareof

insects,which,consequently,encouragesustorespectandprotectwildlifeonEarthevermore（這發(fā)現(xiàn)影響了我

們對昆蟲的感知和福利的理解，從而鼓勵我們更加尊重和保護地球上的野生動物）”可知，該研究結(jié)果有助于

保護地球上的野生動物。故選D項。

D.Thepracticalmeasuretoresistunhealthycuriosity.

【答案】32.B33.A34.D35.D

【導語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了有關(guān)好奇心的實驗研究及如何減少不健康的好奇心帶來的負面

影響。

32.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第四句"Halfofthepenswoulddeliveranelectricshockwhenclicked.（有半數(shù)的筆

在按動時會產(chǎn)生電擊）”可知，在實驗中有一半的筆帶電，即并非所有的筆都帶電。Allthepenswerenot

electrified是部分否定，相當于notallthepenswereelectrifiedo故選B項。

33.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞下文“suchasthesoundoffingernailsonachalkboardandphotographsofdisgusting

insects（比如指甲劃過黑板的聲音和惡心昆蟲的照片）”并結(jié)合第二段實驗內(nèi)容可知，第二段用電筆測試了參與

者的好奇心，接下來的實驗使用了像指甲劃過黑板的聲音和惡心昆蟲的照片等令人不悅的東西進行測試。

由此推知，劃線詞irritants與Stimulants”刺激物"意思接近。故選A項。

34.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第二句"Curiosityisoftenconsideredagoodinstinct一itcanleadtonewscientific

advances,forinstance-butsometimessuchinquirycanbackfire.（好奇心通常被認為是一種有益的本能----比

如它能帶來新的科學進步——但有時這種探究可能會適得其反）”可知，Christopher認為好奇心有利有弊。由

此推知，他的態(tài)度是客觀的。故選D項。

35.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第五段“Inafinalexperiment,participantswhowereencouragedtopredicthowtheywould

feelafterviewinganunpleasantpicturewerelesslikelytochoosetoseesuchanimage.Theseresultssuggestthat

imaginingtheoutcomeoffollowingthroughonone'scuriosityaheadoftimecanhelpdeterminewhetheritis

curiosity,Hseesays.Inotherwords,don'treadonlinecomments.（在最后一項實驗中，被鼓勵預測自己在觀看

不愉快的圖片后的感受的參與者不太可能選擇觀看這樣的圖片。這些結(jié)果表明，提前想象一個人追隨好奇

心的結(jié)果可以幫助確定它是否值得努力。“考慮長期后果是減少好奇心可能產(chǎn)生的負面影響的關(guān)鍵，"Hsee

說。換句話說，不要看網(wǎng)上的評論）”可知，本段通過實驗結(jié)果表明了抵制不健康好奇心的實際措施，即考慮

長期后果。故選D項。
