32、一些积极有意义的事情，故选 C 项 inspire“激发灵感”。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.distinctivelyB.particularly C.speciallyD.specifically解析：解析：空格前的名词短语为 prosocial tasks(公益行为)，空格后为 uneasy ones(不愉快的那些)。ones 指代 tasks，故空格前后关系为整体与部分的关系，选 B 项 particularly“特别地”，用以指从所有同类事物中选出的一个。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.boringB.ridiculousC.meaningless D.useless解

33、析：解析：前后两句包含因果关系。后一分句“他们会被激发去从事一些有意义的活动”为果。故可推出，因为无聊的人觉得自己的行为没有意义，所以他们才会想去做些有意义的事情。空格刚好与后一分句的 meaningful 相对应，故选 C 项 meaningless“无意义的”。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.coincidesB.fulfills C.arrivesD.equals解析：解析：从前一句可知，无聊的人会被激发去做些有意义的事。而如果公益行为能这种要求，无聊就会促进公益行为。故选 B 项 fulfills“满足”。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.normalB.traditiona

35、rD.as解析：解析：这里考查两个分句之间的逻辑关系，前一个分句指出过去研究总是认为无聊令人讨厌后一个分句则指出随着更深入的研究，其结果绝不仅仅是消极的。可以看出这两个分句是转折的关系，故选 B项 yet“然而”。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.rayB.groupC.suitD.array 解析：解析：此处需要量词修饰 potential consequences(潜在的结果)，应选 D 项 array“一系列”。a array of 意为“大量的”。(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.long for B.long toC.agree inD.agree with解析：解析：前
