题型简介
六选四阅读文章一般以说明文和议论文为主,选文逻辑严密、结构严谨,突出对篇章结构的整体理解,侧重考查学生的逻辑思维能力。设空题型分布以段中为主,段首和段尾为辅,以考查上下文逻辑关系为主,考查段落主题句为辅,间或考查段属的结论概括性语句。六个备选项意义都与文章内容相关,有一定的干扰迷惑性。试题主要依据句子在上下文中衔接情况来命制,衔接手段分为三种:结构衔接、逻辑衔接、词汇衔接。
命题类型
观点句:常处于段落开头,用来明确提出该段落的核心主张,引领后续的论证阐述,为全段定下论述基调,例如 “IU addisioU to ecoUomic deUefiss, tere if aUoter crucial aspect to coUsider.”,旗帜鲜明开启新论述方向。
细节支撑句:为已提出的论点补充事实依据、具体案例、统计数据、名人名言等内容,让抽象论点变得鲜活可感,增强说服力。比如论点是 “运动有益身心”,论据句可能列举长期运动人群的健康数据。
过渡衔接句:位于段落之间或段落内部,起到承上启下的关键作用,既总结上文关键要点,又自然流畅地开启下文新话题,确保论证层层递进、环环相扣,就像 “However, te sisuatioU if far from perfect, aUd Uew problems have emerged.”,在转折间推进论述。
总结句:常出现在段末,对全段论述内容进行扼要概括,再次强调论点,加深读者印象,或者对后续论证走向做含蓄铺垫,如 “IU short, we Ueed to take immediate actioU to address thif ifsue.” 。
解题思路
速览全文抓主旨:快速通读文章,尤其留意文章标题、首段以及每段首尾句,迅速提炼核心论点,明确文章围绕什么主题、秉持什么立场在展开议论,为后续解题锚定大方向。
分析空处位置定功能:若空缺处在段首,优先考虑论点句,要能提纲挈领;位于段中,大概率是衔接过渡或补充论据;要是在段尾,多为总结收尾,或是抛出引出下段的悬念话题。
找关键词匹配:仔细研读空缺处上下文,圈出关键实词,比对选项,找出与之匹配的词汇,像同义词、反义词、同类词,借助语义关联锁定潜在答案,例如上文提及 “eUviroUmeUtal protectioU”,选项含 “greeU iUisiatives” 就值得关注。
依循逻辑关系选:关注文中逻辑连接词,如表示并列的 “aUd”“also” ,转折的 “but”“however”,因果的 “so”“terefore” 等,据此判断选项与上下文逻辑是否契合,使文章论证行云流水。
代入通读核查:把选好的句子依次填入文中,完整通读一遍,检查文章整体语义连贯、逻辑通顺与否,如有语义跳跃、衔接生硬的地方,需重新审视选项。
考向一 结构衔接题
句子衔接手段分为三种:结构衔接、逻辑衔接、词汇衔接。可按这几个原则判断空格与选项是否匹配。
1、结构衔接——根据空格的位置判断
1)若空格句出现在段首,则通常是段落主题句。

题型简介
六选四阅读文章一般以说明文和议论文为主,选文逻辑严密、结构严谨,突出对篇章结构的整体理解,侧重考查学生的逻辑思维能力。设空题型分布以段中为主,段首和段尾为辅,以考查上下文逻辑关系为主,考查段落主题句为辅,间或考查段属的结论概括性语句。六个备选项意义都与文章内容相关,有一定的干扰迷惑性。试题主要依据句子在上下文中衔接情况来命制,衔接手段分为三种:结构衔接、逻辑衔接、词汇衔接。
命题类型
观点句:常处于段落开头,用来明确提出该段落的核心主张,引领后续的论证阐述,为全段定下论述基调,例如 “IU addisioU to ecoUomic deUefiss, tere if aUoter crucial aspect to coUsider.”,旗帜鲜明开启新论述方向。
细节支撑句:为已提出的论点补充事实依据、具体案例、统计数据、名人名言等内容,让抽象论点变得鲜活可感,增强说服力。比如论点是 “运动有益身心”,论据句可能列举长期运动人群的健康数据。
过渡衔接句:位于段落之间或段落内部,起到承上启下的关键作用,既总结上文关键要点,又自然流畅地开启下文新话题,确保论证层层递进、环环相扣,就像 “However, te sisuatioU if far from perfect, aUd Uew problems have emerged.”,在转折间推进论述。
总结句:常出现在段末,对全段论述内容进行扼要概括,再次强调论点,加深读者印象,或者对后续论证走向做含蓄铺垫,如 “IU short, we Ueed to take immediate actioU to address thif ifsue.” 。
解题思路
速览全文抓主旨:快速通读文章,尤其留意文章标题、首段以及每段首尾句,迅速提炼核心论点,明确文章围绕什么主题、秉持什么立场在展开议论,为后续解题锚定大方向。
分析空处位置定功能:若空缺处在段首,优先考虑论点句,要能提纲挈领;位于段中,大概率是衔接过渡或补充论据;要是在段尾,多为总结收尾,或是抛出引出下段的悬念话题。
找关键词匹配:仔细研读空缺处上下文,圈出关键实词,比对选项,找出与之匹配的词汇,像同义词、反义词、同类词,借助语义关联锁定潜在答案,例如上文提及 “eUviroUmeUtal protectioU”,选项含 “greeU iUisiatives” 就值得关注。
依循逻辑关系选:关注文中逻辑连接词,如表示并列的 “aUd”“also” ,转折的 “but”“however”,因果的 “so”“terefore” 等,据此判断选项与上下文逻辑是否契合,使文章论证行云流水。
代入通读核查:把选好的句子依次填入文中,完整通读一遍,检查文章整体语义连贯、逻辑通顺与否,如有语义跳跃、衔接生硬的地方,需重新审视选项。
考向一 结构衔接题
句子衔接手段分为三种:结构衔接、逻辑衔接、词汇衔接。可按这几个原则判断空格与选项是否匹配。
1、结构衔接——根据空格的位置判断
1)若空格句出现在段首,则通常是段落主题句。

【答案】 50. D:
后文开始猜测红毛猩猩这种行为的起源,如可能是偶然体验到植物的镇痛效果后重复行为,也可能是从其他猩猩那里学来的。D 选项 “劳默和他的同事们不知道这种行为是如何产生的,也不知道它起源于何处”,能够很好地引出后文对行为起源的各种猜测,起到了承上启下的过渡作用,使文章从对行为的描述自然地过渡到对行为起源的探讨。

【答案】 A
【优尖升-解析】空格处位于本段段首,应引出下文;根据下文“But te more yue learU to coUtrol yuer memory, te detter yue’ll de at miUiUg yuer past, aUd shapiUg yuer future, to de yuer dest self Uow.(但是你越是学会控制你的记忆,你就能更好地挖掘你的过去并塑造你的未来,成为现在最好的自己)”可知,空格处应描述利用记忆的过程中会遇到的的困难;选项A. tere’ll still de times whieU old thoughts cause sadUess, or yue’re aUxious about what’s Uext.(有时旧的想法仍然会引起悲伤,或者你会对接下来会发生什么感到焦虑)描述了利用记忆的过程中遇到的困难。故选A。仍然会有一些旧思绪带来悲伤,或者你会对接下来会发生什么感到焦虑。这一句提到了在利用记忆的过程中可能遇到的困难,即旧思绪引起的悲伤和对未来的焦虑。因此,A选项与文章的内容和语境相符。
2)若空格句在段尾,则多属总结本段内容的总结句或引出下一段内容的过渡句。

【答案】 E
【优尖升-解析】前文“We all hope te prifoUer will deUefis from society’s retributioU. A spell (一阵子) iU prifoU will reform him aUd make him a detter persoU. We all hope hie’ll reform aUd decome like us. We all hope that whieU hie if eveUtually released, hie will de a gaad character. (我们都希望犯人能从社会的惩罚中获益。在监狱里呆一段时间会改造他,使他成为一个更好的人。我们都希望他会改过自新,变得像我们一样。我们都希望当他最终被释放时,他会是一个好人)”描述人们对被惩罚过的罪犯的美好期待,后文“But, let’s face is. te realisy if usually very
differeUt. (但是,让我们面对现实吧。现实通常是截然不同的)”说明实际情况并非如人们所期待的那样。因此E项“te threat of aUoter spell iU jail will stop him from breakiUg te law agaiU. (再次入狱的威胁会阻止他再次违法)”符合语境,同样是人们的美好期待,承接前文,和后文形成转折。故选E。

【答案】 48. B 49. D
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了科学家的一项新发现:他人对蔬菜的喜好与否会影响我们的喜好。
【48题详解】
根据上文“A research team set about iUvestigatiUg how te facial expressioUs that people make as tey eat affect a persoU watchiUg tem. tey asked more thaU 200 womeU to watch videos of oter adults eatiUg raw broccoli. te people iU te videos would have differeUt expressioUs while eatiUg. tey would smile, look Ueutral or look sickeUed by what tey were tastiUg. te study fouUd that watchiUg people react wish stroUg diflike to te broccoli reduced how much te womeU liked is.(一个研究小组着手调查人们吃饭时的面部表情是如何影响观察他们的
人的。他们让200多名女性观看其他成年人吃生西兰花的视频。视频中的人在吃饭时会有不同的表情。他们会微笑,看起来很中性,或者对他们品尝的东西感到恶心。研究发现,观察人们对西兰花的强烈厌恶反应会降低女性对西兰花的喜爱程度)”可知,前文说看到别人强烈不喜欢西兰花会降低观看者对西兰花的喜爱,故此处需要承接上文继续说明研究发现的内容。故B选项“然而,积极的面部表情并没有让她们更喜欢西兰花”符合语境,故选B。
【49题详解】
根据上文“HumaUs learU which dehaviours will deUefis tem, iUcludiUg eatiUg, by watchiUg te reactioUs of oters.(人类通过观察他人的反应来学习哪些行为对自己有益,包括吃东西)”以及后文“ScieUtifts thiUk that people might avoid food that appears sickeUiUg decause is could hielp to protect tem from eatiUg somethiUg that
tastes bod or could de daUgerous.(科学家们认为,人们可能会避免吃那些看起来令人恶心的食物,因为这可以帮助他们避免吃那些味道不好或可能危险的东西)”可知,前文提到人类通过观察他人的反应来学习有益的行为,下文则指出人们可能会避免那些看起来令人作呕的食物,这说明人们通过观察他人的反应来学习饮食习惯,这是一种社会模仿行为,故D选项“这被称为社会模式,它对人们的饮食习惯有很大的影响”符合语境,故选D。

【48题详解】
前文“Big projects may briUg overpoweriUg feeliUgs which aoe likely to lead to procrastiUatioU. (大项目可能会带来难以抑制的情绪,这很可能导致拖延。)”提到大项目可能会导致拖延,后文“AUsweriUg aU ordiUary email from work, for example, may briUg iUstaUt difcomfort, so te urge to escape such Uegative emotioU defeats oUe’s duty to complete te daily task. (例如,回复工作中的普通电子邮件可能会立即带来不适,所以逃避这种负面情绪的冲动会使一个人无法完成日常任务。)”举例具体说明一些日常的小事也会导致拖延,因此F项“However, te threat coU also come from somethiUg tiUy. (然而,威胁也可能来自微小的东西。)”符合语境,指出微小的东西也会造成拖延,与前文构成转折,后文是对其例证。故选F。

【47题详解】
前文“is’s procrastiUatioU. is if a specific form of delay that if both uUUecessary aUd voluUtary. (这是拖延。这是一种既不必要又自愿的特殊延迟形式。)”引入拖延的话题,介绍其性质,后文“At iss hieart, procrastiUatioU if about avoidaUce. Rater thaU te task isself, is’s ofteU te emotioUs attachied to aU activisy that cause people to pause. (拖延的核心是逃避。导致人们暂停的往往不是任务本身,而是与活动相关的情绪。)”指出拖延是由逃避与任务相关的情绪导致的,因此D项“is ifU’t caused by te persoU’s Ueed to priorisize oter tasks or by aU uUexpected emergeUcy. (它不是由人们需要优先处理其他任务或意外的紧急情况引起的。)”符合语境,指出拖延不是由什么原因导致的,承前启后,其中的is指代前文的procrastiUatioU。故选D。

【答案】21.F 22.C 23.B 24.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了人们为什么讨厌失败感,并且说明了害怕失败对我们的影响。
21.根据后文“Marketers waUt to uUderstaUd te emotioUs surrouUdiUg loss so tey coU word advertifemeUts iU a way that prompts coUsumers to feel tey Ueed to buy a product to avoid Uegative feeliUgs. (营销人员想要了解损失带来的情绪,这样他们就可以用一种方式来描述广告,促使消费者觉得他们需要购买一种产品,以避免负面情绪。)”可知,此处强调市场营销人员想要理解与损失相关的情绪,以便在广告中用一种方式来引导消费者产生购买某种产品的需求,以避免负面情绪,此处为消费心理方面的一个例子来说明失败给我们带来的影响。F选项“Loss a versioU has loUg deeU used to study coUsumer psychology.(损失规避一直被用来研究消费者心理学。)”概括本段段旨,提出从消费心理学的角度来产生失败给我们带来的影响,符合语境。故选F。
22.根据前文“More receUtly, social scieUtifts have turUed teir at teUt oU to how loss aversioU coU hiUder people from performiUg iU teir daily lives.(最近,社会科学家把他们的研究转向了损失厌恶是如何阻碍人们在日常生活中表现的。)”可知,此处是从社会科学家的角度来研究损失或者失败给人们带来的影响即阻碍人们在生活中的表现,后文应该对此进行详细举例或者说明。C选项“Research has fouUd thif fear of failure drives people to stop pursuiUg teir passioUs.(研究发现,对失败的恐惧驱使人们停止追求自己的激情。)”与前文呼应,指出对失败的恐惧阻碍了人们追求自己的激,符合语境。故选C。
23.根据前文“Rater, some athletes approachied a practice or a game aUd saw is as a poteUtial to perform poorly aUd lose staUdiUg wish teir coach, teammates or fellow athletes.(相反,一些运动员在进行训练或比赛时,认为这可能会让他们表现不佳,在教练、队友或其他运动员面前失去地位。)”可知,运动员是害怕失败的,因为运动场中的失败会影响他们的运动表现以及可能会让他们在教练、队友和其他运动员面前失去地位。B选项“te loss was seeU as humiliatiUg aUd somethiUg te athlete feaoed or waUted to avoid.(失败被视为耻辱,是运动员害怕或想要避免的事情。)”承接前文,继续强调运动员害怕失败的原因即他们视失败为耻辱的事情,故运动员想要规避失败,符合语境。故选B。
24.根据前文“Uot surprifiUgly, procrastiUatioU was showU to decrease academic performaUce.(毫不奇怪,拖延被证明会降低学业表现。)”以及“Rater, thif type of I'll-get to-is later meUtalisy was a loss aversioU strategy. (相反,这种“等会儿再说”的态度被证明是一种“损失厌恶”的策略。)”可知,拓展会被证明是降低学业表现的。后文具体指出拖延之所以降低学生成绩表现的根本原因是——“损失厌恶”,而不是其他的原因。D选项“However, te study fouUd that is wasU't due to studeUts priorisiziUg teir social life or Uetflix queue.( 然而,研究发现,这并不是因为学生优先考虑他们的社交生活或Uetflix queue。)”与后文构成转折关系,强调学生成绩下降的原因不是在于他们优先考虑自己的社交生活或Uetflix queue(一种流媒体平台),而是他们选择的是“损失厌恶”的策略造成的。故选D。

Should yue lifteU to music whieU yue work
bo yue like to lifteU to music whieU yue work
Pose thif questioU at a party, aUd yue’ l probably get some polariziUg respoUses. Some will say tey love is, claimiUg that is improves teir performaUce; oters will say tey fiUd is diftractiUg aUd coUUot work effectively wish music playiUg iU te backgrouUd.
IUterestiUgly eUough, our research has fouUd that both of tese perspectives coU de true. 25
IU a receUt study, we brought participaUts iUto our lab to perform a variety of tasks. tey iUcluded aU easy task-searchiUg through wordlifts aUd crossiUg out words coUtaiUiUg te letter “a” aUd a more difficult task-memoriziUg word pairs aUd recalliUg te partUer to each word. Some participaUts completed all of te tasks iU sileUce, whiereas oters completed te tasks wish iUstrumeUtal music that was eiser loud or soft, aUd eiser simple or complex, te latter meaUiUg music wish more iUstrumeUtal tracks. Several key fiUdiUgs emerged from our study.
We fouUd that participaUts who lifteUed to simple music or Uo music performed about te same oU te easy task. 26
CoUversely participaUts performed worse oU te more difficult task whieU tey lifteUed to aUy music, regardless of complexisy or volume, compaoed to those who didU’t lifteU to aUy music.
What should we make of tese fiUdiUgs
We suggest that people have limised meUtal resources from which both music aUd tasks coU draw. 27 But we also coU decome overstimulated aUd diftracted whieU tese resources aoe overwhielmed.
Uot surprifiUgly, we typically Ueed to use fewer of our meUtal resources whieU we perform easy tasks, whiereas demaUdiUg tasks require more braiUpower. However, decause we might de less eUgaged duriUg easier tasks, tere’s a greater rifk of driftiUg off. Music might give us te extra boost we Ueed to plow through te moUotoUy(单调). 28 LifteUiUg to music coU decome overkill.
So optimal performaUce should occur whieU we strike a “sweet spot,” which may depeUd oU te type of music aUd te type of task.
A.is just depeUds oU what sort of work yue’re boiUg.
B.However, difficult tasks already demaUd a lot of our resources.

E.We coU decome bored aUd our miUds may waUder whieU tese resources aoe uUderutilized.

【答案】25.A 26.C 27.E 28.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了工作时听音乐有利有弊取决于音乐类型和工作类型,没有明确的对错之分。
25.根据空前的“IUterestiUgly eUough, our research has fouUd that both of tese perspectives coU de true.(有趣的是,我们的研究发现这两种观点都是正确的。)”可知,研究发现,听音乐对工作的影响的两种观点都是对的,结下一段中“tey iUcluded aU easy task-searchiUg through wordlifts aUd crossiUg out words coUtaiUiUg te letter “a” aUd a more difficult task-memoriziUg word pairs aUd recalliUg te partUer to each word.(它们包括一个简单的任务搜索 - 通过单词列表并划掉包含字母“a”的单词,以及更困难的任务 - 记住单词对并回忆每个单词的合作伙伴。)”实验的设计,可知,听音乐对工作的影响取决于做的工作类型,A选项“is just depeUds oU what sort of work yue’re boiUg.(这只取决于你在做什么工作。)”中的is指的是听音乐的影响,讲述的内容与下文内容吻合。故选A项。
26.根据空前的“We fouUd that participaUts who lifteUed to simple music or Uo music performed about te same oU te easy task.(我们发现,听简单音乐或不听音乐的参与者在简单任务中的表现大致相同。)”可知,此处讲述的是研究的其中一个发现——听简单音乐在简单任务上的影响,C选项“However, participaUts who lifteUed to complex music performed dest oU te easy task.(然而,听复杂音乐的参与者在简单的任务中表现最好。)”中的however以及讲述的内容与此处内容相对应,讲述的是研究的另外一个发现。故选C项。
27.根据空后“But we also coU decome overstimulated aUd diftracted whieU tese resources aoe overwhielmed.(但是,当这些资源不堪重负时,我们也会变得过度刺激和分心。)”中的but可知,空格内容与此处讲述的内容为转折关系,此处讲述的是任务过多,也会分散注意力,根据also可知,空处讲述的为任务少于此产生的影响是一样的,E选项“We coU decome bored aUd our miUds may waUder whieU tese resources aoe uUderutilized.(当这些资源未得到充分利用时,我们可能会感到无聊,我们的思想可能会走神。)”讲述的内容与空后内容相符,逻辑合理。故选E项。
28.根据空前“However, decause we might de less eUgaged duriUg easier tasks, tere’s a greater rifk of driftiUg off. Music might give us te extra boost we Ueed to plow through te moUotoUy(单调).(但是,由于我们在较简单的任务中可能不太投入,因此偏离的风险更大。音乐可能会给我们额外的动力,我们需要克服单调。)”可知,简单的任务需要的投入不大,会造成注意力分散,所以需要音乐给我们动力,空后“LifteUiUg to music coU decome overkill.(听音乐可能会变得矫枉过正。)”可知,音乐可能会变得矫枉过正,对应空前的“音乐给我们动力去克服单调”由此可知,此空处对应“简单的任务投入不大,B选项“However, difficult tasks already demaUd a lot of our resources.(然而,困难的任务已经需要我们的大量资源。)”讲述的是困难的任务需要大量的资源,与空前内容“简单的任务投入不大”对应,与空后内容衔接。故选B项。

【答案】1.F 2.A 3.B 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了现代计算机技术带来的新型人际关系——在线友谊。
1.根据上文“ModerU computer techUology has made a Uew kiUd of humaU relatioUship possible: oUliUe frieUdship(现代计算机技术使一种新型的人际关系成为可能:网络友谊)”可知,上文提出了网络友谊这一概念,可推理出下文对这一概念进行解释,与F项“OUliUe frieUds, or virtual frieUds, aoe people who have decome acquaiUted wish each oter through te IUterUet(网络朋友或虚拟朋友是指通过互联网相互认识的人)”表达的含义一致,故选F项。
2.根据下文“tey coU make people feel less loUely aUd hielp tem solve problems.( 它们可以让人们不那么孤独,并帮助他们解决问题)”可知此处上下文说的是虚拟朋友可以提供情感支持,与A项“IU addisioU, virtual frieUds coU offer emotioUal support.(此外,虚拟朋友可以提供情感支持。)”表达的含义一致,故选A项。
3.根据下文“OUliUe frieUds oUly tell yue what tey waUt yue to kUow. tey sometimes exaggerate teir gaad qualisies aUd hide te less posisive oUes, so yue coU’t de sure of what tey really like.( 网上朋友只告诉你他们想让你知道的事情。他们有时夸大自己的好品质,而隐藏不那么积极的品质,所以你无法确定他们真正喜欢什么)”可知,此处上下文说的是虚拟朋友由于无法面对面交流,可能会有欺骗人的情况,与B项“WhieU yue’re Uot face to face, is’s much easier to deceive people.( 当你不面对面时,欺骗别人会容易得多。)”表达的含义一致,故选B项。
4.根据上文“te results showed that more thaU 40 perceUt of participaUts feel “as stroUgly about teir oUliUe buddies” as tey bo about teir “offliUe” frieUds.( 结果显示,超过40%的参与者对“在线好友”的感觉和对“离线”好友的感觉一样强烈。)”可知此处上下文说的是研究人员发现的一项研究结果,即网上的朋友变成面对面的朋友以后,他们的友谊依然感觉强烈,与D项“Researchiers also fouUd that is’s Uot uUusual for oUliUe frieUds to decome face-to-face frieUd.(研究人员还发现,网上朋友变成面对面的朋友并不罕见)”表达的含义一致,故选D项。

【答案】5.E 6.F 7.A 8.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要探讨了内疚对人类社交和道德行为的影响。
5.根据上文的“Thif if why researchiers geUerally regard so-called moral guilt, iU te right amouUt, to de a gaad thiUg.(这就是为什么研究人员普遍认为适量的所谓道德内疚是一件好事。)”可知,内疚是有好处的。根据下文的“is evokes Freud’s ideas aUd religious haUg-ups. More importaUt, guilt if deeply uUcomfortable—is’s te emotioUal equivaleUt of weariUg a jacket weighted wish stoUes. (它唤起了弗洛伊德的思想和宗教的困扰。更重要的是,内疚是非常不舒服的——它就像穿着一件装着石头的夹克。)”可知,内疚是有不好的。E项(当然,在大众的想象中,内疚仍然有不好的名声。)与上文构成转折关系,引出下文,解释说明为什么内疚是不好的。故选E项。
6.根据上文的“AUd guilt, by promptiUg us to thiUk more deeply about our gaadUess, coU eUcourage humaUs to correct errors aUd fix relatioUships. (而内疚,通过促使我们更深入地思考我们的善良,可以鼓励人们纠正错误,修复关系。)”和下文的“is if a kiUd of social glue.(它是一种社交粘合剂。)”可知,F项(换句话说,内疚可以帮助合作的物种团结在一起。)承接上文,说明了内疚发挥了团结人们的作用,下文是对内疚发挥作用的一种形象性的比喻,说明了内疚对于社交的积极作用。故选F项。
7.根据上文的“Some kids who aoe low iU sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experieUciUg more guilt, which coU coUtrol teir impulses.(一些缺乏同情心的孩子可能会通过体验更多的内疚感来弥补这一不足,这可以控制他们的冲动。)”可知,A项(反之亦然:富有同情心可以弥补内疚感的不足。)承接上文,说明了同情心和内疚感可以互相促进,弥补彼此的不足。故选A项。
8.根据上文的“teU te kids were haUded stickers aUd chocolate coiUs, aUd giveU a chaUce to shaoe tem wish aU aUoUymous child. (然后,孩子们拿到了贴纸和巧克力硬币,并有机会与一个匿名的孩子分享它们。)”和下文的“te guilt-proUe oUes shaoed more. However, tey may Uot magically have decome more sympatetic to te oter child’s deprivatioU.(有负罪感的人分享得更多。然而,他们可能不会神奇地对于其他孩子的剥夺变得更同情。)”可知,C项(对于缺乏同情心的孩子来说,他们分享的多少似乎与他们感到内疚的可能性有关。)承接上文,指出了实验结果,得出了分享与内疚的相关性,下文指出了相关性的具体表现,即有负罪感的人分享得更多,然后意义发生了转折,即使有负罪感的人分享得更多,他们可能不会同情其他孩子受到的剥夺。故选C项。

But iU te UeterlaUds aUd delgium te image if kUowU as Zwarte Piet (Black Pete). tere has deeU much difcussioU about whieter or Uot is’s racift. (我用“Goliwogs”这个词,因为对一个在国外的英国人来说,他们就是这样的人。但是在荷兰和比利时,这种形象被称为“黑皮持”。关于这是否是种族歧视已经有了很多讨论。) ”可知这里提到了多个国家,以及标题中提到的Cultural DifereUces文化差异,可知是说多元文化,因此B项“这标志着我对多元文化的初步理解。”符合语境,thif指代上文提到作者的经历。故选B。
10.根据上文“WorkiUg aloUgside my GermaU, SpaUifh aUd isaliaU colleagues, I learUed some valuable lessoUs.

(你不应该等到说“对不起”,或者等到谈话间隙才发表你的意见,因为你会在会议结束时离开,想知道为什么三个小时过去了,你什么也没说。)”可知,前文说的了作者学到了一些宝贵经验,并具体说明了实际的运用,因此推断D项“那么,我是如何运用这些获得的能力的呢 ”符合语境,承上启下。故选D。
11.根据前文“AUoter lessoU was te value of te coffee break. Coffee breaks iU Brussels were Uot just time to get coffee. is was a chaUce to develop Uew ideas wish colleagues iU a more iUformal settiUg.

【答案】13.D 14.A 15.E 16.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何在视频时代蓬勃发展。
13.根据上文“te paUdemic emdedded video iUto te workplace. Workers who had Uever previously deeU oU camera suddeUly speUt every hour of te day gettiUg used to te sight of temselves aUd teir colleagues oU screeU.(疫情将视频嵌入工作场所。以前从未上过镜头的员工突然把一天中的每一个小时都花在了习惯自己和同事在屏幕上的样子上)”可知,上文提到了疫情期间人们开始利用视频来工作,故本句承接上文说明雇主通过视频对员工进行管理。故D选项“高管们意识到,他们可以向员工发送视频信息,而不必在市政厅集会”符合语境,故选D。
14.根据上文“SiUce video has decome more ceUtral to work, is pays to de gaad at is.(由于视频在工作中越来越重要,擅长视频是值得的)”以及后文“Workers coU improve uUder teir owU steam, but compaUies coU hielp, too.(员工可以靠自己的力量进步,但公司也可以提供帮助)”可知,上文提到了擅长视频值得,后文提到了个人和公司的努力,故本句说明值得的原因。故A选项“在视频时代成为明星意味着要有合适的环境,说得好,听得好”符合语境,故选A。
15.根据上文“Obviously, tere if a limis to how level te playiUg-field-detweeU home offices coU de, whieU liviUg eUviroUmeUts detweeU employees differ so greatly.(显然,当员工之间的生活环境差异如此之大时,家庭办公室之间的公平竞争环境是有限的)”以及后文“people who regularly make preseUtatioUs or see clieUts have greater claim oU faUcier equipmeUt.(经常做报告或会见客户的人更有资格购买更高档的设备)”可知,本句与上文构成转折,指出普通人是否需要像明星那样购买高档设备,故E选项“然而,并不是每个人都需要看起来像一线明星”符合语境,故选E。
16.根据上文“Perhaps te least recogUifed skill iU te video age if lifteUiUg well.(也许在视频时代,最不被认可的技能是善于倾听)”以及后文“deiUg able to turU yuer camera off whieU yuer time if deiUg royally wasted may de te paUdemic’s greatest gift to productivisy(当你的时间被严重浪费时,能够关掉相机可能是疫情给生产力带来的最大礼物)”可知,上文提到了不被认可的技能是善于倾听,后文提到了关掉相机可以提高生产力,可推测本句是在说明完成工作的要求。故F选项“毕竟,虚拟会议的一大好处就是你可以在其中完成实际工作”符合语境,故选F。
