The shedder of tears is likely to apologize, even when a devastating (毁灭性的) tragedy was the provocation. The observer of tears is

Humans are the o

21、 (as a crying baby might from its mother), the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help. Vocal cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain 37 . So, it appears, there must be something special about tears themselves. Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears

30、语就是本文的主题dreams。解析：A解析 由前面的 have been 可知此处应为动词的过去分词。根据空白处后的 upside-down，可知turned 最合适。turn upside-down 意为“完全颠倒”。解析：N解析 此处应为形容词或动词的分词形式，作 are 的表语。分析本句内容，可以知道空白处是与句子开头的 in dreams 相反的情况，因此 awake 一词最合适。解析：D解析 此处应为形容词或动词的分词形式，与 strange 并列作 are 的表语，由此也可推断空白处的单词应与 strange 意思相近，因此本题答案为 unfamiliar。解析：L解析 由前面的
31、a more satisfying 可知此处为名词单数。上一段提出了两个问题，本段应该就问题给出答案，因此空白处用 answer 最合适。解析：O解析 此处为及物动词过去式作谓语。根据本段提到的 Sigmund Freud 的发现，可知unconscious mind 是一个新名词，是 Sigmund Freud 创造的，因此本题答案为 named。解析：K解析 此处应为及物动词的过去式，作定语从句的谓语。根据上文提到 Sigmund Freud 的发现，即本句中的 new worlds 等词，空白处用 explored 最合适。解析：F解析 由前面的 the 可知此处为名词。根据上下文，可以
32、推断本句主要指出人从一出生开始就有记忆，因此本题答案为 moment。from the moment of our birth 意为“从我们出生的那一刻起”。解析：G解析 此处应为副词，作全句的状语。根据前两句可以知道，我们只有在某些特殊情况下才会突然想起小时候见过或经历过的事情，因此 suddenly 一词最适合。解析：C解析 此处应为副词，修饰动词词组 lie in our unconscious minds。结合上一句，可以推断我们有时不知道我们做某事的原因，是因为这个原因在我们的潜意识里隐藏得很深，因此此处用 deep 一词最合适。Although each baby has an i

39、erned with 意为“关心”。解析：M解析 文中 responds 与空格后的 to 搭配，意为“对反应”，故此处需副词作状语。其他两个副词 meanwhile 和 amazingly 明显不符合逻辑，故答案为 primarily“主要地”。解析：A解析 根据后面的 grasping 这个信号词可判断此处需要动词的现在分词作谓语，再根据介词信号词 for 可判断答案为 searching。search for 意为“搜寻”。解析：L解析 此处需要一个形容词或名词作 be 的表语，又根据介词信号词 to 以及下文 may scream when.可判断此处答案为 alert。be aler

47、 realize C. peak D. intimate E. leisurely F. routine G. familiar H. maximum I. requiring J. habitually K. naturally L. explanation M. change N. commenting O. increase（分数：25.00）解析：L解析 此处需要可数名词单数。根据后一句“他已证明每个人都有一个日能量周期”，可推断此处为“发现”、“看法”或“解释”之类的词，因此 explanation 正确。解析：C解析 此处需填名词，且与 at 构成词组。根据上一句的 you“re
48、“hot“及本句的 most energetic，可知此处指体温达到“最高”。peak 和 maximum 都可表达此义，但只有 peak 能与 at 搭配，at one“s peak/reach one“s peak 意为“达到巅峰”。而 maximum 与 reach 搭配，reach a maximum 意为“达到最大值”。解析：G解析 此处需要形容词，修饰 monologues。根据 as 后的话语，可得出答案为 familiar，意为“熟悉的”。解析：B解析 此处需要及物动词原形，作谓语。根据宾语 what these energy cycles mean，可推测该词表“知道，明白”
49、之义，由此可得出答案为 realize。解析：M解析 此处需要及物动词原形，作谓语。由 but 转折可知我们只能让生活来适应能量周期，因此能量周期是不能被改变的，故可得出答案为 change。另外，下文本段最后一句提到“This won“t change your cycle”，这更进一步证实了 change 是正确的。解析：J解析 此处需要副词，修饰 staying up later。根据前文所说“Habit can help”，可知此处指可以通过习惯来对抗能量周期，因此答案为 habitually。而从上一句的 must stay up late anyway，可知 naturally(自然地)不正确。解析：A解析 此处需要填不及物动词原形，作主句的谓语。根据 if 条件句的内容，可得出答案为rise(起床)。解析：E解析 此处需要形容词。根据上一句中的 a slow start，可选出答案 leisurely，意为“从容不迫的，不慌不忙的”。注意这个词的词尾 ly，会被误认为是副词，其实该词既可作副词，也可作形容词。解析：F解析 此处需填形容词。词库中能修饰 work 的最佳形容词是 routine。routine work 意为“例行公事，常规工作
