50、个有决定困难的人来说，做决定会让他非常紧张，G项“且改变生活的重大选择会导致崩溃”是对空前句的进一步阐述。故G项符合语境。2答案与解析：E考查上下文衔接。空前讲反思你最初的目标，接着以实例(网上挑选面包机)，展现了做出选择的艰难过程。E项“记住你的目的可以简化这个过程”可承接上文。并且your purpose和上文中的your original goal对应；the process就是指网上挑选面包机的这个选择过程。故E项符合语境。3答案与解析：D考查上下文衔接。根据前文“Thats why indecisive people are advised to pick theirbattles(
51、这就是为什么优柔寡断的人被建议选择他们的战斗)”可知，优柔寡断的人的战斗就是“选择”，所以此处是指选择他们的“选择”，和“be choosy about choosing”意思相同，对应选项D中的“In other words”。根据后文“When it comes to wine, for example, all I want is a good glass with dinner. So rather than studying which to choose, I leave the decision to my local wine store, asking it to send
52、me a case of surprises once in a while(例如，说到葡萄酒，我只想在晚餐时喝上一杯。因此，我没有研究该选哪一种，而是把决定权交给了当地的葡萄酒店，让它偶尔给我寄一箱惊喜)”可知，此处就是指把选择权交给别人，然后对别人提供的选择进行挑剔。所以选项D“换言之，对选择要有选择”承上启下。choosy意为“爱挑剔的”。故D项符合语境。4答案与解析：F考查上下文衔接。空后反问为什么你会有意对你生命中的一个重要选择有这种感觉。故F项“想想如果你在考试中得了65分你会有什么感觉”引出下句。F项中的how youd feel与空后句中的feel that way相对应。故选F项。5答案与解析：A考查段落主旨句。根据本段最后一句“Using thought experiments to separate important variables can help you cut through the fog to see clarity”可知，利用思维实验来分离重要的变量，可以帮助你拨开迷雾，看清真相。故本段小标题可用A项“拨开迷雾”。故选A项。
