85、主要介绍了一项研究：什么能真正让人们快乐和健康呢？坦率地说，有时财富和名望能让人快乐，但是良好的人际关系让我们更快乐、更健康。11答案B解析根据前文“There was a survey of the people who were born from 1980 to 2000, asking them what their most important life goals were.Over 80 percent said it was to get rich.”可知有一项针对1980年到2000年出生的人的调查，询问他们最重要的生活目标是什么，超过80%的人说是发家致富。结合选项可知B项
86、“To become famous came second.”符合文意。12答案G解析前文说“一直以来我们的印象是，为了过上美好的生活，我们需要追求名和利。但这是事实吗？”，结合选项只有G项“To be frank, sometimes wealth and fame can make people happy.”说到了名和利，故选G。13答案C解析根据前文“Almost all projects of this kind fall apart within a decade because too many people drop out of the study.”可知几乎所有类似的项目在
87、十年内都会分崩离析，因为有太多人退出了这项研究。紧接着下面就提到了导致失败的原因。故C项“或是研究经费枯竭”符合文意。14答案F解析根据下文“Theyve learned three big lessons about relationships.”可知F项“It is good relationships that keep us happier and healthier.(良好的人际关系让我们更快乐、更健康)”符合文意。15答案A解析根据前文“And the third is that good relationships dont just protect our bodies.”可知
88、是在说良好的人际关系的好处，故A项“They can even protect our brains.(它们甚至可以保护我们的大脑)”符合文意。D话题：青蛙的叫声难度：建议用时：10分Male frogs use territorial(防卫地盘的) calls to warn off frogs that are entering their territory. 16 ，so they do not waste energy by making territorial calls when they detect those frogs near their territory.Howev

94、territorial calls when they detect those frogs near their territory”可知，雄性青蛙保护地盘的叫声是为了吓走入侵者，但它们能远远地分辨出自己邻居的叫声，所以对那些青蛙的靠近并不理会，故选E项。17答案F解析根据上文的“an unknown frog approaches the land.males will aggressively let out a territorial call”可知，F项中的the strange frog和it may be attacked是解题关键。即：如果有外来的青蛙靠近雄性青蛙的领地，雄性青
95、蛙就会发出带有攻击性的保护地盘的叫声。如果这只外来的青蛙还不马上离开，就会遭到雄性青蛙的攻击。18答案D解析根据空后的“If an attacker.the frog will make a call almost like a scream”可知，D项符合题意。即：青蛙通过有警示的叫声告知其他青蛙周边有危险，这种叫声一般在有攻击对象靠近的时候发出。青蛙会在逃跑的同时发出短促的尖叫声。19答案B解析根据本段最后一句中的“the female gives the release call to.”可知，本段是关于传达释放信号的叫声，故B项符合语境。20答案G解析根据上文中的“This regularly happens.In other cases.”可知，这里罗列了三种需要发出释放信号叫声的情况，经常发生在交配季节：一是雄性青蛙误抓了另一只雄性青蛙；二是雄性青蛙抓住了已经交配过的雌性青蛙；三是不同种类的青蛙交配发生混淆。故G项符合语境。
