43、【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在即兴表演班所学以及表演班所教技能在他研究道路上的帮助。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to improve my communication ability and gain confidence thinking on my feet.(然而,我知道在完成我的博士学位后,我想成为一名科学传播者,所以
44、这似乎是一个很好的机会来提高我的沟通能力和获得自信、才思敏捷。)”可知,作者希望即兴表演班能够帮助提高自己的沟通能力。故选A。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“During our first class, we learned the key concept of improv: “yes, and”. If someone says that rhinos are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We dont question the logic; we say “yes” and continue with
45、the scene as if nothing is wrong. To do this effectively, we have to avoid second-guessing ourselves. Sometimes scenes go in unexpected directions.

48、program so far.(如果我没有对这些结果是真实的可能性持开放态度,我就会错过我的博士项目迄今为止最令人兴奋的发现。)”可知,即兴表演课教会作者开放性的态度,而正是这种态度,作者的博士研究项目取得了成功。由此推知,即兴表演技能在作者的博士研究上提供了很大帮助。故选D。CWhen our Scottish puppy, Annie, reached adolescence, she suddenly stopped following my commands.

49、o my arms. Now, the 8-month-old gave me a look and ran the other way.

Dogs with high scores entered adolescence earlier at about 5 months, compared with 8 months for those with lower scores. Further, adolesc

They asked the dogs caregiver and a stranger to giv
53、e the command to “sit”. All of the preadolescent puppies quickly sat for both people, but when the same puppies reached adolescence, they refused to follow the order from their caregivers. However, they readily obeyed the stranger. Dogs that werent securely attached to their caregivers were even mor
54、e willing to follow the strangers commands.Because of the similarity between adolescent puppies and humans, dogs could serve as a model species for studying adolescence in humans. And on a more practical note, the temporary nature of dog disobedience might make us worry less when our puppies suddenl
55、y get minds of their own. Just ask Annie shes now happy to come, sit, and stay a while.28. What can we infer about Annies disobedience according to Asher?A. It is natural.B. It is foolish.C.

59、【29题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“However, they readily obeyed the stranger. Dogs that werent securely attached to their caregivers were even more willing to follow the strangers commands.(不过,他们还是很乐意地服从了这个陌生人。那些对看护者没有安全感的狗甚至更愿意听从陌生人的命令。)”可知,8个月大的导盲犬在陌生人面前顺从。故选D。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一句“Just ask Annie shes now happy t
60、o come, sit, and stay a while.(问问安妮就知道了她现在很乐意过来,坐下来,待一会儿。)”以及第一段“Shell grow out of it.(她长大后就不会这样了。)”可推断,作者的狗已经走出了青春期。故选C。【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Because of the similarity between adolescent puppies and humans, dogs could serve as a model species for studying adolescence in humans.(由于幼犬和人类之间的相似性,狗可以作为研究人
