115、或“撤离”含义，与选项“withdrawal(撤退；撤走)”表达含义一致。故选B项。【61题详解】细节理解题。根据文章末尾段内容“The summit, from which you will board down, is about 2,388 feet, a height ideal for the activity.

Visitors can enjoy lazy beach days by the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.(阳光明媚，四季温暖，这些岛
117、屿是完美的度假胜地。游客可以在加勒比海晶莹湛蓝的海水旁享受慵懒的海滩时光。)”可知，科恩岛对于游客来说，终年阳光明媚，气候温暖，还有加勒比海慵懒的海滩时光可以享受，是完美的度假胜地，由此可知，喜欢在旅行中独自掌管一切的人有可能选择到该地旅游。而文章中提及的其他三个项目攀登蒙巴乔火山，在云雾森林里骑马，以及登顶塞罗内格罗火山均是已安排好的固定项目，活动内容无法由游客自己掌控。故选C项。(C)If youve ever taken a class in drawing, painting or pottery and in spite of your best effort, couldnt ma

132、its for the sole passion”中“the sole passion”应是指前文“But like a publicly recognized creative baseball player who hones his skill through years of continuous training”提及的“baseball”，棒球运动，由此可知，一个有创造力的棒球运动员应是为了棒球运动这一目标而不断努力训练，从而会放弃其他的“爱好”。由此可推知，“foregoing”应是“放弃”含义，与选项A“giving up”含义一致。故选A项。【66题详解】主旨大意题。通过阅读
133、文章可知，文章第二段内容“According to some scientists, who for the past 20 years have put the elusive subject of creativity through the rigors of research, you are underrating yourself.

138、pet.That makes scientists curious. What exactly happens in your dogs brain when it hears praise? And is it similar to the way our own brain processes such acoustic information?When a person gets a compliment, the more primitive subcortical(皮下的)auditory regions first react to the intonation(声调) , the
139、 emotional force of spoken words. Next, the brain taps the more recently evolved auditory cortex(皮质)to figure out the meaning of the words, which is learned. _67_ Of course, dogs use their right brain hemisphere to do so, whereas we use our left hemisphere. Still, a mystery remains. Do their brains
140、go through the same steps to process approval? Its an important question. Dogs are speechless species._68_ For instance, some dogs are able to recognize thousands of names of individual objects. They can even link each name to a specific object.When the scientists studied scans of the brains of pet
141、dogs, they found that theirs, like ours, processed the sounds of spoken words in a multi-step manner. They analyze first the emotional component with the older region of the brain, the subcortical regions. Subsequently, they deal with the words meaning with the newer part, the cortex.Previous studie

146、详解】下文“Of course, dogs use their right brain hemisphere to do so, whereas we use our left hemisphere.（当然，狗狗用的是右脑，而我们用的是左脑。）”表明了狗狗的大脑和人类大脑的一个区别。根据该句中的“of course”可以推知，该句是对空处的一个补充，那么，该空应该谈及狗狗大脑和人脑的相似点。E选项（研究发现，狗的大脑和人类的大脑一样，会分别计算语调和意思。）符合语境，故选E。【68题详解】根据空后“For instance, some dogs are able to recognize th
147、ousands of names of individual objects. They can even link each name to a specific object.（例如，一些狗能够识别数千个单个物体的名字。它们甚至可以将每个名字与特定的对象联系起来。）”可知，狗会对人们说的话产生反应。这和上文提到的“Dogs are speechless species.（狗是不会说话的物种。）”，是转折关系，即：尽管狗不会说话，但是它们会对人说的话做出回应。 故选B。【69题详解】空后“Zebras, for instance, can eavesdrop on the emotion,

(比如，斑马可以偷听其他食草动物的情感，确切地说，恐惧。这样它们就能知道附近是否有捕食者。)”的例子表明：动物可以获得情感暗示。D选项（即使他们不会说话，它们也能获得情绪暗示）切题。故选D。【70题详解】下文“Dogs have the very likeliness to make special use of the ancient connection to proc
149、ess human emotions.( 狗很有可能利用这种古老的联系来处理人类的情感)”中提到了“the ancient connection to human emotions”,那么，该空应该明确“狗狗和人类的古老的联系”。F选项（驯养动物和人类一起进化了几千年。）表明了狗狗和人类的古老的联系。故选F。IV Summary Writing71.
