40、22_ by his research in neuroeconomics(神经经济学)(a somewhat new. divisive field) at Northwestern University. As Business Insider describes, Cerf has extended his ideaswhich draw on some controversial ideas in psychology, including ego depletion out-into a piece of advice that, to _23_ happiness, people
41、should build a life that requires _24_ decisions by surrounding themselves with people who possess traits they prefer.On an instinctive level, Cerfs idea _25_: Many choices people make are the product of social pressures and the inputs of _26_ people around them. One example Cerf furnishes is that.

Rather, he _28_ his decision to his dining partnerwhich friend he plans to eat with, probably one he trustsand always lets them pick.While its _29_ what, if any scientific principles underlie those pieces of advice, there
43、is no shortage of research showing that choices can sometimes feel more _30_ than liberating.

50、程。选项越少时，人们更容易选择自己喜欢的事物，但当选项变多时，人们往往会偏离自己喜欢的东西。【21题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：做决定是非常困难的，这就是为什么研究者Moran Cerf把把做决定这一活动从他生命中消除的原因。A. relieved解除；B. released释放；C. eliminated消除；D. liberated解放。分析文章内容可知，后文提到“As a rule, he always chooses the second menu item at a restaurant.”通常来讲，Moran Cerf在餐厅时总是选择菜单第二个选项。由此判断，Moran Cerf
51、已经放弃了选择这个活动，在他的生活中已经不需要选择了。故选C。【22题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：这是他在西北大学神经经济学，这一较新的研究领域中得出的。A. influenced影响；B. inherited继承；C. implemented实施；D. informed通知；了解。分析文章内容可知，Moran Cerf是西北大学的研究员，因此才能根据他的研究得出“Making choices is hard. ”做决定很困难这一结论。故选D。【23题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：Cerf扩充了他的想法这些想法借鉴了心理学中一些有争议的想法，包括自我枯竭，他提出了一条建议，即为了使幸福最大化
52、，人们应该多和自己有着相同喜好的人接触以做出更少的决定。A. maximize最大化；B. balance平衡；C. cherish珍惜；D. seek寻求。分析文章内容可知，Cerf认为做决定是一件很困难的事，而且在他的日常生活中他也尽量避免做决定，从神经经济学的角度来讲，这会让他生活的幸福感提升。故选A。【24题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：Cerf扩充了他的想法这些想法借鉴了心理学中一些有争议的想法，包括自我枯竭，他提出了一条建议，即为了使幸福最大化，人们应该多和自己有着相同喜好的人接触以做出更少的决定。A. safe安全的；B. fewer更少的； C. better更好的；D. s
53、ounder更合理的。后文提到“by surrounding themselves with people who possess traits they prefer.”可以多和与自己有着相同喜好的人接触，喜好相同意味着没有较多的分歧，这样也不需要再做其他额外的决定。故选B。【25题详解】考查动词词组辨析。句意：在本能层面上来讲，Cerf的想法是有道理的：人们所做的许多决定都是来自于社会的压力和周围可信赖人的输入。A. stands out突出；B. comes into force生效；C. makes sense有意义；D. plays a part发挥作用。前文提到“On an ins
54、tinctive level”Cerf在神经经济学领域得出的结论，在人类本能层面上也能说的通。故选C。【26题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在本能层面上来讲，Cerf的想法是有道理的：人们所做的许多决定都是来自于社会的压力和周围可信赖人的输入。A. distinguished尊敬的；B. trusted信任的；C. authorized授权的；D. honored荣幸的。后文提到“which friend he plans to eat with, probably one he trustsand always lets them pick.”在和朋友们吃饭的时候，Cerf也会让他信任的朋
55、友们点餐，由此判断有时候做决定的时候是自己信任的人。故选B。【27题详解】考查介词词组。句意：除了不断点菜单里的第二项之外，他从来不选择去哪里吃饭。A. in addition to除此之外；B. instead of而不是；C. in spite of尽管；D. regardless of不管。后文提到Cerf在吃饭地点这件事上从来不做选择，说明他除了点菜单上的第二个菜之外不做任何其他的事情。故选A。【28题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：相反的是，他会把仅有的决定用在决定他的用餐伙伴上他会决定和哪个朋友一起吃饭，有可能是他信任的朋友并且总是让他们挑选吃什么。A. conveys传达；B. r
56、elates相关；C. submits提交；D. limits限制。分析文章内容可知，Cerf是一个不怎么做决定的人，他会做决定的事只有吃菜单上的第二项和决定自己和谁一起吃饭，由此判断Cerf只会在某些事情上做决定，即限制自己做决定的情况。故选D。【29题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：虽然目前还不清楚，有什么科学原则作为这些建议基础。但不乏研究表明，选择有时候会比自由更让人困惑。A. evident显而易见的；B. unclear不确定的；C. critical关键性的；D. inevitable不可避免的。第二段第三行提到“Cerf has extended his ideaswhich
57、draw on some controversial ideas in psychology”，Cerf的研究结果是借鉴了一些具有争议的观点，而不是具有权威性的理论，因此Cerf这一结果的理论基础是不确定的。故选B。【30题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：虽然目前还不清楚，有什么科学原则作为这些建议的基础。但不乏研究表明，选择有时候会比自由更让人困惑。A. confusing令人困惑的；B. inspiring鼓舞人心的；C. worrying担心的；D. appealing有吸引力的。分析文章可知，第四、五段提到了一个实验，如果只有三个巧克力的话人们很快就能选出自己喜欢的那一个，但如果有二十
58、个选项的话人们反而不知道选择哪一个，即拥有更多的选项反而会让人无从选择。故选A。【31题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：如果你非常喜欢士力架，那么选择杏仁巧克力还是牛奶巧克力就是一件无需动脑筋的事。A. stressor压力；B. no-brainer无需动脑的事；C. challenge挑战；D. headache头痛。分析文章可知，作为巧克力喜爱者在巧克力选项中二选一应该是一件很简单的事情。故选B。【32题详解】考查介词辨析。句意：而且，正如神经学家Paul Glimcher在纽约大学进行的一项实验所显示的那样，大多数情况都是这样的，直到引入更多的选择。A. after在之后；B. befo
59、re在之前；C. when当时候；D. until直到才。第五段提到被试者被给出了20个选项来做出选择，在有着20个选项的时候，做决定就变成了一件非常困难的事情。故选D。【33题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：当被试者在三种巧克力中选择一个最喜欢的时，对他们而言是完全没问题的，但当他们被给予20个选择时，有时候就会偏离他们的喜好。A. preference偏好；B. struggle挣扎；C. status状态；D. direction方向。该段最后一句提到“make such a bad decision.”被试者会做出非常糟糕的决定，由此判断在选项很多的情况下，会导致人们不会选择自己喜欢的事
60、物，这就导致被试者觉得自己做了一个不好的决定。故选A。【34题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：是明显不同的大脑区域参与决策。A. impressive令人印象深刻的；B. insignificant微不足道的；C. unique独特的；D. distinct与众不同的。前文提到“the way the brain encodes choices has a lot to do with how it values all its options.”大脑选择编码的方式与大脑如何看待所有的选项有很大的关系，即大脑在做不同抉择时所运用的大脑部分是不一样的。故选D。【35题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意
61、：当选项可比较时，大脑会竭尽其所能专注于两者之间的区别，但当选项变多时，这种能力就会被排斥出来。A. crowd挤；B. figure认为；C. sort整理；分类；D. put放。第四、五段提到，当人们只用在三个选项中做出选择时，很快就能选择出自己喜欢的那一个，但如果在二十多个选项中人们就很难做出很好的选择，即做选择的能力就被削弱了，且此处为固定词组crowd out，意为“挤出；驱逐；排斥”。故选A。Section BDirections: Read the following three passages.

71、文。文章以蜂蜜自述。讲述了蜜蜂采蜜，酿蜜的过程。最后强调了工业化农业的发展对采蜜的影响以及寻求帮助。【36题详解】词义辨析题。根据第一段可知，当春季百花盛开，蜜蜂会在你的院子上盘旋或轰炸你的野餐。但当你在躲避攻击时，蜜蜂却完全在关注另外一件事。在根据第二段，大多数的日子里，蜜蜂会飞到离家三英里远的地方去采蜜。故综合分析：蜜蜂关注的是蜂蜜而不是人。故选D项。【37题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段可知，蜜蜂要飞离家三英里的地方采蜜，采完密后还要加工。同时提到，一生中蜜蜂可能会采集4000多花。综合分析，整段都在讲蜜蜂的辛苦。故选B项。【38题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第3行中Several s

85、The hole, which has been (racked from space and the ground over the past few days, has reached record dimensions, but is not expected to pose any danger to humans unless it moves further south. If it extends further south overpopulated areas, such as southern Greenland, people would be at increased
86、risk of sunburn.However, on current trends the hole is expected to disappear altogether in a few weeks.Low temperatures in the northern polar regions led to an unusual stable polar vortex（极地漩涡），and the presence of ozone-destroying chemicals such as chlorine（氯）in the atmosphere - from human activitie

It is also too early to say whether the unusually stable Arctic polar vortex conditions are linked with the climate crisis, or part of normal stratospheric weather variability.Peuch said there were no direct implications for the climate crisis. Temperatures in the region are already increasing,
90、slowing the depletion of ozone, and the hole will start to recover as polar air mixes with ozone-rich air from lower latitudes.

92、f ozone-depleting chemicals were not a factor in the hole observed in the Arctic, said Peuch.

97、。【43题详解】词意猜测题。根据划线词后的句子Those dynamics allowed for lower temperatures and a more stable vortex than usual over the Arctic, which then triggered the formation of polar stratospheric（平流层的）clouds and the catalytic（催化的）destruction of ozone.可知，在北极与平常相比，这些动力学允许较低的温度和较稳定的旋涡，这就触发极地平流层云的形成，并催化臭氧层的毁灭。由此可以看出，de
98、pletion of ozone与destruction of ozone是相似的意思，再结合选项，可知consumption（消耗）符合语境，意为“臭氧层的消耗”。故选B。【44题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段but is not expected to pose any danger to humans unless it moves further south.可知，除非它进一步向南移动，否则不会对人类造成任何危险。因此A项“它将对人类构成威胁”的说法不对；根据第五段The hole is not related to the Covid-19 shutdowns that have dr
99、amatically cut air pollution and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.这个空洞与Covid-19 shutdowns无关，Covid-19 shutdowns大大减少了空气污染和温室气体排放，因此B项“这个新的空洞是空气污染和温室气体排放造成的”这个表达不对；根据第六段Peuch said there were no direct implications for the climate crisis.可知，Peuch说，对气候危机没有直接影响，因此D项“它警告我们有即将到来的气候危机”不对。已经排除了A、B和D项，故选C。【45题
100、详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段While a hole over the Arctic is a rare event, the much larger hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic has been a major cause for concern for more than four decades.可知，北极出现空洞是罕见的，南极的大一些的空洞四十多年来，一直是人们关注的主要问题。根据这个表达看不出“北极和南极的空洞有相同的起因”，故A不对；根据倒数第二段The production of ozone-depleting che
101、micals has been dramatically reduced, under the 1987 Montreal Protocol 蒙特利尔协议），but some sources appear still to be functioningin 2018. unauthorized emissions were detected from some areas.可知，在1987年签订的蒙特利尔协议的约束下，产生的消耗臭氧层的化学物质已经急剧减少，但一些来源仍然在起作用：2018年，从一些区域探测到了未经授权的排放。因此，蒙特利尔协议没有成功阻止新的排放，故C不对；根据最后一段New
102、 sources of ozone-depleting chemicals were not a factor in the hole observed in the Arctic可知，消耗臭氧层化学物质的新来源，不是在北极观察到的洞里的一个因素。因此，“北极上空的空洞应该归咎于一些新的非法排放物”，这个描述是不对的，因此D不对；根据第三段the presence of ozone-destroying chemicals such as chlorine（氯）in the atmosphere - from human activities - caused the hole to form
103、.可知，破坏臭氧层的化学物质的存在，导致了这个洞的形成，比如大气中的氯是人类活动产生的，所以“人类活动是产生破坏臭氧的化学物质的主要原因”是对的。故选B。【46题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段A rare hole has opened up in the ozone layer above the Arctic, in what scientists say is the result of unusually low temperatures in the atmosphere above the north pole.可知，北极上空的臭氧层出现了一个罕见的空洞，科学家说这是北太平洋上空大气
104、异常低温的结果。由此可知，“北极上空出现罕见臭氧层空洞”可以作为文章标题，故选A。【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。该文是一篇科技类文章，介绍一种自然现象，该类文章的中心一般就在第一段。因此，考生直接抓住第一段中的“A rare hole has opened up in the ozone layer above the Arctic, in what scie
105、ntists say is the result of unusually low temperatures in the atmosphere above the north pole.”即可找到文章中心。Section CDirections: Read the following passage.

114、 especially when they get likes可知，当人们收到点赞时会很满足。B选项中的show a need for popularity刚好和下文的“获得点赞感到满足”契合。故选B项。【49题详解】根据前句“男性和女性上传自拍照的频率和使用编辑软件的频率并没有太大区别”。前后转折，选项F“但相比于女性，上传自拍照的男性更需要被视为受欢迎” 。切题。故选F项。【50题详解】划线前提到：家里人给你看照片，除了好评之外你别无选择。选项D“这是老式的点赞方式”。中的that刚好可以指代前面对照片的评价方式。切题。故选D项。IV.
