21、 Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D.（分数：40.00）_解析：In a lab in Oxford University“s experimental psychology department, researcher Roi Cohen Ka-dosh is testing a relatively new brain-stimulation technique which may help people learn and improve their understanding of

26、e able to perform such stimulation on their kids without【C17】_? “It“s early days but that hasn“t stopped some companies from【C18】_the device and marketing it as a learning tool,“ Dr. Cohen Kadosh says. “Be very【C19】_.“ However, if the technique continues to show【C20】_, “this type of method may have
27、a chance to be the new drug of the 21st century,“ says Dr. Cohen Kadosh.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.soldB.formedC.placed D.dedicated解析：解析：本句中出现了 cap 和 worn，说明 electrodes 是通过 cap 被戴在头上。根据生活常识electrodes 只能被 placed in(放置在)帽子里，然后再戴上。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.gentle B.extremeC.strongD.coward解析：解析：此处需要一个形容词来修饰
28、current，根据上文中出现的 a 9-volt battery(9 伏的电池)，可推断出，这里的电流应该是很小的。下文提及 the current 时使用 mild(温和的)形容进一步印证了答案。故选 A 项 gentle“温和的，微弱的”。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.superficialB.specialC.especialD.specific 解析：解析：此处意为“这种电流可以针对脑部的区域或普遍适用”。本句中的 or 是个关键词。它所联系的两个关联词组具有相反的逻辑关系。因此，我们需要找一个与 generally 意思相反的词。D 项specific“特定的，明确的”符合
29、要求。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.benefitB.risk C.importanceD.disaster解析：解析：文中强调电流较为微弱(mild)，越是弱的电流对人的身体相对越安全。由此可推断此电流可以降低出现 side effect 的可能性，选项中具有“出现消极后果的可能性”语义的只有 B 项 risk“风险”。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.opened up B.caught onC.ruled outD.cut down解析：解析：本句中，which 引导的从句陈述了主句所导致的后果，因此，主、从句存在逻辑上的因果关系。上文提到“它降低了副作用的风险”，推断导致的
30、结果为“使用它成为可能”，故选 A 项 opened up“打开”。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.byB.withC.throughD.without 解析：解析：上文提到“它减少了副作用的”，在提到使用本设备的群体时，作者使用 even 表达了一种递进关系，强调更多的人，故推断此处是表“没有认知障碍的人”，选 D 项 without“没有”。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.browserB.modifierC.enhancer D.learner解析：解析：本文第 1 段的主题句指出，它可能可以帮助人们学习。第 3 段对科恩博士工作进行总结时提到“他在学习促进方面的工作”。因此
31、，可知这种设备对于“认知”是有“促进”作用的，故选 C 项enhancer“促进器”。(8).【C8】（分数：2.00）A.othersB.anotherC.someD.other 解析：解析：and 连接两个并列成份作 treat 的宾语，因此 mood disorders(情绪障碍)和conditions有着对等的词义。mood disorders 是治疗的疾病中的一种，所以 and 后面则只能用 other conditions，指除“情绪障碍”外的所有没有细说的情况。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.demandingB.pioneering C.alarmingD.confusi
32、ng解析：解析：此处需要一个形容词对科恩博士的工作性质作一个大概的总结。第 1 段提到，我们发现这是一个新技术，可能可以促进对数学概念的理解。第 2 段中也提到这项技术在很多方面取得了突破。综合这些信息，科恩博士的工作应该是 pioneering“首创的，先驱的”。(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.acquiringB.avoidingC.studying D.receiving解析：解析：空格填入的现在分词作后置定语修饰 scientists(科学家)，空格前提到“科恩卡多什博士在学习促进和大脑刺激方面所做的工作是一个例子”。故推断，空格处应填入与 work on“在方面的工作”近义
33、的词，故选 C 项 studying“研究”。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.Like B.ForC.UnlikeD.By解析：解析：上一句提到“他的工作反映了所有研究的科学家们所面临的漫长征途”，本句承接上一句而言，故推断他的情况跟许多科学家一样，所以选 A 项 Like“像，如同”。与上文中的 hiswork is one example 相呼应。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.attentionsB.interestsC.concerns D.cares解析：解析：我们发现空格所缺的词是公众对安全性和副作用的一种态度，而这也是科学家们需要去解决的。根据 side ef
34、fects 等消极信息，推断答案应为贬义词。C 项 concerns“担忧”符合语义要求，且能跟 about 的搭配。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.skepticism B.criticismC.encouragementD.indifference解析：解析：plus 是答题关键词，说明空格中的名词和上文提到的 publicabout safety and sideeffect 一样，也应为具有贬义的词。结合下文“这些发现在更广泛人群中能否有效”，可确定这是其他科学家的 skepticism“怀疑”，故选 A 项。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.ShouldB.Unle
35、ssC.If D.Lest解析：解析：第 1 段主题句提到，“他可能会(may)帮助人们学习或提高”，故判断“它真能够增强人的认知表现”并没有已经被证明，而只是作者的一种假设。因此应选表假设的 if.(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）A.desirableB.portableC.sensibleD.accessible 解析：解析：本段第 1 句为段落主题句，提出这项技术还存在着 ethical questions(凭处方出售的问题)，既然是有关“凭处方出售”的问题，答案应为 D 项 accessible“容易得到的”，此处意为“不是每个人都可以买的，须凭处方购买”。(16).【C16】（
36、分数：2.00）A.recognizableB.available C.countableD.valuable解析：解析：上文提到 afford to buy the device(买得起这个设备)，之后用 which 引导从句对device 进行进一步的说明。从句中的 already isfor sale 给我们提示，它已经有售了。因此选 B 项available“可得到的”。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.surveyingB.learningC.contributingD.monitoring 解析：解析：本句是对上文“这项技术也存在着凭处方出售的问题”进行说明的第二个例子。既
37、然是需要处方的，那当“父母为他们的孩子实施这样的刺激时”，此处应为是否应该有 monitor“监督”的疑问，故选 D。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.decoratingB.buyingC.selling D.researching解析：解析：句中的 and 说明the device 与 marketing it 之问是并列的关联关系。选项中与marketing(行销，销售)相关的只有 C 项 selling“销售，出售”。(19).【C19】（分数：2.00）A.careful B.considerateC.carelessD.casual解析：解析：上文提到“研究还处于初步阶段，
38、但一些公司已经在销售这种设备”。对于这种不太安全的做法。科恩博士的建议应为 be careful“小心的”才符合逻辑，故选 A。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.phenomenonB.promise C.interestD.dissatisfaction解析：解析：下文提到“这样一种疗法可能就有机会成为 21 世纪的新药”，这是一种积极信息，因此本空所在的 if 从句“这项技术继续展现出”应是表示引出积极结果的意思。因此选 B 项 promise“希望”。Marriage may improve your sleep, and better sleep may improve you
39、r marriage, two new studies suggest Women who are married or who have stable partners【C1】_to sleep better than women who have【C2】_a partner, according to research from an eight-year study【C3】_at the Associated Professional Sleep Societies annual meeting.

45、质量”，对比的对象应为“有伴侣的女性”和“没有伴侣的女性”，因此应选表示“没有”含义的词，故选 B 项 lost“失去”。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.conveyedB.presented C.utteredD.addressed解析：解析：此句意思为“在联合专业睡眠协会年会上_的一项为期八年的研究显示”，B 项present“展现”代入空格，句意通顺，此处由于是过去分词作后置定语，故应加 ed。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.breakdownB.happiness C.statusD.disagreement解析：解析：根据空格后的 lowers the risk of s
46、leep problems(降低睡眠问题的风险)，可推断上文是指婚姻处于“积极的”状态，故选 B 项 happiness“幸福”。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.orB.andC.while D.as解析：解析：空格前后是婚姻幸福和不幸福两种情况的对照，故选 C 项 while“而”，用于表示这种对照关系。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.helplessB.peacefulC.restless D.fearful解析：解析：文章首句提到“婚姻有利于睡眠”，故推断未婚但有伴侣的女性睡眠质量不如已婚女性，C项 restless“得不到休息的”符合要求，代入表示“不良的睡眠”。(7).【
