When she saw the scaled （鳞片） patterns of the mail （盔甲），she was inspired to create a wearable protective tool out of copper.”可知，这位澳大利亚青少年在10年级历史课上观看一部有关中世纪战争的电影时，心中产生了一个念头。当
91、她看到盔甲的鳞片图案时，她受到启发，用铜制成了一种可穿戴的防护工具。因此Macinley Buston的发明灵感来自士兵的防护铠甲。故选D。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“When she saw the scaled （鳞片） patterns of the mail （盔甲）,she was inspired to create a wearable protective tool out of copper.可知，文章讲述了当时只有16岁的Macinley Butson用铜制成了一种可穿戴的防护工具，使癌症患者在接受检查时能够减少受到不必要的辐射。现在Butson正在努力将她的发明
92、投入到临床使用。因此B项（有创造力的）最能描述Macinley Buston。故选C。C篇【答案】28. DAAB 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了伦敦设计博物馆的火星任务和移民地设计展览“搬到火星”的基本情况。【28题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Step into Moving to Mars, an exhibition of Mars mission and colony design at Londons Design Museum, and immediately you have good reasons not to move there.（走进 Moving to
93、 Mars，伦敦设计博物馆的火星任务和殖民地设计展览，你立即有充分的理由不搬到那里。）”以及文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了伦敦设计博物馆的火星任务和移民地设计展览“搬到火星”的基本情况。故选D。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“As Lisa Grossman wrote for New Scientist a couple of years ago， Whats different about Mars is that there is nothing to do there except try not to die（就像Lisa Grossman几年前为新科学家写的那样，“火星的不
94、同之处在于，除了努力不死，别无选择”。）”可知，从Lisa Grossman的话中我们能了解到在火星上生活是不可能的。故选A。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The main part of the show is our current plans for the Red Planet.（展览的主要部分是我们目前对红色星球的计划。）”此处“红色星球”指火星，可知，展览的重点是关于火星目前的计划。故选A。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This, of course, is the great strength of approaching science through
95、 design: reality and assumption can be given equal visual weight, drawing us into an informed conversation about what it is that we actually want from a future on Mars.（当然，这是通过设计来接近科学的强大力量：现实和假设可以被给予同等的视觉权重，将我们带入一个关于我们真正想从火星未来得到什么的知情对话中。）”可知，作者在最后一段想告诉我们一个观点。故选B。D篇【答案】32. BBCC【解析】这是一篇议论文。封闭的需要是一个心理术
96、语，描述了一个人对一个问题的坚定回答的愿望。每个人都有自己对封闭需要的底线。它可能通过自然选择进化。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Our need for closure is our natural preference for definite answers over confusion and uncertainty. Every person has their own baseline level of need for closure. It likely evolved via natural selection.”可知，我们对结束的需要是我们对明确答案的自然偏好，
97、而不是混乱和不确定。每个人都有自己的基线需要关闭。它可能是通过自然选择进化的。need for closure的形成通过自然形成的。故选择B。【33题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most important decisions”可知，高的了封闭需要负面地影响我们的一些重要决定。由此判断出，可以推断，对封闭的高需求导致不太好的决策。故选择B。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In one experiment, psychologists tried to l
98、ower peoples need for closure by telling them,right before participants are about to make various judgments of a job candidate, that theyll be responsible in some way for them, or that their judgments have serious consequences.”在一个实验中，心理学家试图降低人们对封闭的需求，在参与者即将对求职者做出各种判断之前，告诉他们，他们将以某种方式对他们负责，或者他们的判断会产生
99、严重的后果。和后文的进一步阐释可知，心理学家告诫人们谨慎的判断。所以选择C。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In making any big decision, its not enough just to know that we should take our time. We all know that important decisions shouldnt be rushed. The problem is that we dont keep that advice in mind when it matters. So, one of the best solutio
100、ns is to formalize the reminders. Before making important decisions, write down not just advantages and disadvantages but what the consequences could be.”在做任何重大决定时，仅仅知道我们应该慢慢来是不够的。我们都知道，重要的决定不应该仓促做出。问题是我们在重要的时候并没有记住这些建议。因此，最好的解决方案之一是使提醒正式化。在做出重要决定之前，不仅要写下优点和缺点，还要写下可能产生的后果。可知，都是关于high need for closure的有用的解决方法。所以，推测下一段可能是对封闭需要更有效的解决方法。故选择C。
