【标准答案】
1 ．[C]despite
从后面一个句子中的 little 我们可以判断出这里的转折意为， 因而本题选
择 despite ；
2 ． [D]produce
此处前一个词 does 表示强调，根据上下文课意思可判断选项；
3 ． [B]boosting
boost 意思是促进增进、
stabilize
意思是稳定、 impair 是减少削弱、
determine
意思是决定。因而可以判断选
boost ；
4 ．[B]sustain
本题全凭词义选择：
transmit
意思是传输； sustain ，维持； evaluate
，
评估； observe ，观察。
5 ．[A]measurable
本题一样是词义考察： ，可承受的； renewable
measurable ，，可评估的； manageable 可更新的。
，可
掌握的； affordable
6 ． [B]In fact
从后一句中的 Instead of doing... ，实际上 ??起到承前启后的作用。
可以看出此处有意群的转换，因而选
择了 \
7 ． [A]opposite
从前一句的 instead of 得知此处句意发生转折，因而选择 opposite
8 ．[D]relaxes
从后一句 \ ，减少肌肉张力，可判断此处应选
择 relaxes ，放松。
9 ．[C]moderate
也是从上一句的句意 ―放松肌肉、 减少肌肉张力 ‖可看出此处的意思应该
相同，因而选择 \ \，稳定、减轻。
10 ．[A]physical
还是词义考察，同学们可以从这道题看出出题老师对形近字、意近字有
多爱了吧 ?? physical ，身体上的； mental ，精神上的（这是一对，一定要记住！）；
subconscious
，潜意识的； internal ，内在的。
或反义词时， 那么答
小编分享一个做题的 ―非官方方法 ‖给大家： 当选项中出现明显的成对、
案多半在其中。 也就是我们可以从做一个四选一的题， 变成做二选一的题。 那就算是猜、 正确率也有 50% 了吧！？
11 ． [B]According to
后一句提到 \
\
，一个经典情
感理论，说明是距离。所以此处连接词选择
。
12 ． [C]in 这题的考点是介词和动词的搭配，如果你明白前一个思，那么基本可以排除选项中的 with ，那到底是 on, at 或是
root 是―根、扎根 ‖的意 in ，就看日常积累了。
13 ． [D]because
这整句的意思是： ―在 19 世纪末期有这样的争论：人们不是因为悲伤
‖因而此处选择表示因果关系的
而哭泣，而是因为当流泪时会变得悲伤。
because 。其他
的 until ，直到； unless
，除非； if ，如果，都不符合。
14 ． [C]precedes
词义又来： exhaust ，精疲力尽； follow ，跟随； precede ，在 ??
之前； suppress
，抑制。
15 ． [B]from
从动词 flow ，流动，来判断。
16 ． [D]hold
因为后一句提到 ― thereby creating an artificial smile
，从而创造一‖个
虚假的笑脸。可以看出，无论是
fetch 或是 pick （都是取来、捡来的意思）都是不对的，
\ 。
bite （咬）更不对。要维持一个笑脸，所以用
17 ． [A]disappointed 这道题的技巧在于，无论是它们所能传达的面部表情都是类似的，因而得知选
excited, joyful
或是 indifferent ，
disappointed
，失望的 —— 得出不一样
的表情。
18 ． [D]reacted
词义题： adapt ，适应； cater ，迎合； turn ，转变； react ，反应、
19 ．[A]suggesting 词义题： suggest ，传达了、证明了； require ，要求； mention ，
提到； suppose ，假设。
这里整句话的意思是： 面对搞笑卡通， 那些被要求做笑脸的人比起那些被要求皱眉的人表现得更有生气。从而证明了不单单是情绪影响表情、表情也可以影响情绪。
20 ．[C]Similarly
从上一句的翻译大家可以看出， \
improve mood.\
（笑这个生理动作可以改善情绪），这个意思是和上一句一样的。所以
应该选择 similar ，相同的。而不是其他三个选项。
