【標準答案】
1.[C]despite 從后面一個句子中的little我們可以判斷出這里的轉折意為,因而本題選擇despite;
2.[D]produce 此處前一個詞does表示強調,根據上下文課意思可判斷選項;
3.[B]boosting boost意思是促進增進、stabilize意思是穩定、impair是減少削弱、determine意思是決定。因而可以判斷選boost;
4.[B]sustain 本題全憑詞義選擇:transmit 意思是傳輸;sustain,維持;evaluate,評估;observe,觀察。
5.[A]measurable 本題一樣是詞義考察:measurable,可評估的;manageable,可掌握的;affordable,可承受的;renewable,可更新的。
6.[B]In fact 從后一句中的Instead of doing...可以看出此處有意群的轉換,因而選擇了"In fact",實際上……起到承前啟后的作用。
7.[A]opposite 從前一句的 instead of 得知此處句意發生轉折,因而選擇opposite
8.[D]relaxes 從后一句"decreasing muscle tone",減少肌肉張力,可判斷此處應選擇relaxes,放松。
9.[C]moderate 也是從上一句的句意“放松肌肉、減少肌肉張力”可看出此處的意思應該相同,因而選擇"moderate",穩定、減輕。
10.[A]physical 還是詞義考察,同學們可以從這道題看出出題老師對形近字、意近字有多愛了吧…… physical,身體上的;mental,精神上的(這是一對,一定要記住!);subconscious,潛意識的;internal,內在的。
11.[B]According to 后一句提到"one classical theory of emotion",一個經典情感理論,說明是距離。所以此處連接詞選擇"According to"。
12.[C]in 這題的考點是介詞和動詞的搭配,如果你明白前一個root是“根、扎根”的意思,那么基本可以排除選項中的with,那到底是on, at 或是 in,就看日常積累了。
13.[D]because 這整句的意思是:“在19世紀末期有這樣的爭論:人們不是因為悲傷而哭泣,而是因為當流淚時會變得悲傷。” 因而此處選擇表示因果關系的because。其他的until,直到;unless,除非;if,如果,都不符合。
14.[C]precedes 詞義又來:exhaust,精疲力盡;follow,跟隨;precede,在……之前;suppress,抑制。
15.[B]from 從動詞flow,流動,來判斷。
16.[D]hold 因為后一句提到“thereby creating an artificial smile”,從而創造一個虛假的笑臉。可以看出,無論是fetch或是pick(都是取來、撿來的意思)都是不對的,bite(咬)更不對。要維持一個笑臉,所以用"hold"。
17.[A]disappointed 這道題的技巧在于,無論是excited, joyful 或是indifferent,它們所能傳達的面部表情都是類似的,因而得知選disappointed,失望的——得出不一樣的表情。
18.[D]reacted 詞義題:adapt,適應;cater,迎合;turn,轉變;react,反應、
19.[A]suggesting 詞義題:suggest,傳達了、證明了;require,要求;mention,提到;suppose,假設。
這里整句話的意思是:面對搞笑卡通,那些被要求做笑臉的人比起那些被要求皺眉的人表現得更有生氣。從而證明了不單單是情緒影響表情、表情也可以影響情緒。
20.[C]Similarly 從上一句的翻譯大家可以看出,"the physical act of laughter could improve mood."(笑這個生理動作可以改善情緒),這個意思是和上一句一樣的。所以應該選擇similar,相同的。而不是其他三個選項。
