28、段的“Tofindoutwhenandwhypeoplelaugh”可知本文写作目的是弄清楚人类什么时候以及为什么会笑。故B项正确。2答案与解析：A推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段的“Atages5and6weprobablylaughmorethanatanyothertimes.Adultslaughlessthanchildren, probablybecausetheyplayless.”可知，玩得多的人笑得多。A项正确。3答案与解析：A词义猜测题。联系上下文可知susceptible(易受影响的)与sensitive的意思最为接近。故选A。4答案与解析：C主旨大意题。笑容是世上最通用的
29、语言，笑容是世上最温暖的语言，本文探讨了人类为什么笑这个问题。故C项为最佳标题。B【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了与传统思维认为的边听边涂鸦是走神的表现不同，实质上边听边涂鸦是有助于记忆的，教授JackieAndrade的实验和教师DanWare的教学经历进行了该观点的证实。5答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“Halfoftheparticipantswereaskedtoshadeinshapesonapieceofpaperatthesametime, withoutpayingattentiontoneatness, whiletherestweregivennos
30、uchinstructions.”可知，在实验中，一半的参与者被要求同时在纸上给形状涂上阴影，不注意整洁，而剩下的人没有得到这样的指示，即：有一部分参与者可以在纸上随意涂画。选项D“Somewereinstructedtomakerandomdrawingsonpaper.(一些参与者被要求在纸上随意画画。)”与原文内容表达信息一致。故选D项。6答案与解析：B词义猜测题。根据划线单词句之后存在了“but”句，可知，“but”句与划线句应是转折关系。分析“Butmyresearchsuggeststhatineverydaylifedoodlingmaybesomethingwedobecaus
31、eithelpstokeepusontrackwithaboringtask, ratherthanbeinganunnecessarydistractionthatweshouldtrytoresistdoing.(但我的研究表明，在日常生活中，涂鸦可能是我们做的事情，因为它有助于让我们跟上无聊的任务，而不是一个不必要的我们应该努力抵制的分心。)”可知，but句在解释涂鸦的对于“无聊任务”的有益作用，因此可推知，划线单词“impaired”应是与but句中的“help”为反义词关系，“impaired”可以理解为“没有帮助”或“损害”含义，与选项B“Weakened.(变弱)”表达含义一致。
32、故选B项。7答案与解析：A推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容“Butmyresearchsuggeststhatineverydaylifedoodlingmaybesomethingwedobecauseithelpstokeepusontrackwithaboringtask, ratherthanbeinganunnecessarydistractionthatweshouldtrytoresistdoing.”可知，JackieAndrade的研究表明，在日常生活中，涂鸦有助于跟上无聊的任务，而不是一个不必要的分心；文章第五段内容“butafterteachingkidswithallpe
33、rsonalitytypeshelearnedscribblingawayduringlectureshelpscertainstudentsremembermoreinformation.”可知，DanWare在教了所有性格类型的孩子之后，了解到在课堂上涂鸦有助于某些学生记住更多信息。因此可推知，在他们看来，涂鸦是有助于在任务中或课堂中集中精力的。故选A项。8答案与解析：B主旨大意题。根据文章体裁为说明文，文章结构为总分结构可知，文章首段提出主旨要义：Butdoodlingwhilelisteningcanhelpwithrememberingdetails, ratherthanimply
34、ingthatthemindiswandering, accordingtoastudypublishedinthescientificjournalAppliedCognitivePsychology.(但是根据发表在科学期刊应用认知心理学上的一项研究，边听边涂鸦有助于记忆细节，而不是暗示走神。)可知，本文主要讲述了涂鸦对于记忆是有益的，同时文章的其他段落分别从JackieAndrade的实验和教师DanWare的教学经历两个方面进行了该主题的阐述。选项B“DoodlingCanHelpMemoryRecall(涂鸦可以帮助记忆)”贴合主旨要义，为最佳标题。故选B项。.完形填空【语篇解读】这
