17、5 is the odd one out because it does not end in a multiple of three, or 43 is the odd one out because it is not a square.” 如果数字是 9，16，25 和 43，你可以说 9 是奇特的数，因为它只有一个数字，16 是奇特的数，因为它是偶数，25 是奇特的数，因为它不以3的倍数结束，或者 43 是奇特的数，因为它不是平凡，由此可以看出这是一个例子，因此作者是举例来解释Which One Doesnt Belong是怎样工作的，故选A。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一

28、” KidZania是一个为4到14岁的孩子创建的互动迷你城市，在这里他们可以自由行走，探索各种活动。由此KidZania是一个迷你城市，故选A。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句目的是让他们通过现实的角色扮演来了解这个世界。“The goal is for them to learn about the world through realistic role-play.”由此可知，孩子在KidZania可以通过现实的角色扮演学习，故选B。【6题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第五段中“Best of all, while the kids work, they earn KidZos

29、by doing their jobs well or by achieving small goals like washing their hands or participating in branded activities.

30、idZos。他们可以选择在礼品店兑换玩具和糖果，或者在KidZania银行存钱以备日后之用。可知，孩子们可以用他们挣到的KidZos买东西或将之存入银行，所以KidZos应该是“钱”，故选D。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Our only question is when one of these will open for adults. This place looks great fun, and it can teach kids important lessons about the world we live in.” 我们唯一的问题是，这其中的一个会在什么时候对成年人

31、开放。这个地方看起来很有趣，它可以教孩子们关于我们生活的这个世界的重要知识。由此可以推断出作者很赞赏KidZania，故选C。【点睛】词义猜测题，要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。1.根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。2.根据同位关系进行猜测。阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，这时可利用同位关系对前面或后面的词义或句意进行猜测。3.根据构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测。在英语中，有很多词可以在前面加

32、前缀，在后面加后缀，从而构成一个词，乍看起来，这个词可能是新词，但掌握了一定的构词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。4.根据因果关系进行猜测。在一篇阅读文章中，根据原因可以预测结果，根据结果也可以找出原因。5. 根据上下文的指代关系进行猜测。文章中的代词it, that, he, him 或them可以指上文提到的人或物，其中it和that还可以指一件事。有时代词指代的对象相隔较远，要认真查找;也有时需要对前面提到的内容进行总结，才能得出代词所指代的事。6.根据同义关系进行猜测。当词或短语之间有并列连词and 或or时，其连接的两项内容在含义上是接近的或递进的，由此确定同等关系中的某个生词所属的义域，

33、由此可推知其大致意思。7.根据转折或对比关系进行猜测.根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。例如小题3中就是根据上下文解释来进行猜测词义的。根据文章第五段中“Best of all, while the kids work, they earn KidZos by doing their jobs well or by achieving small goals like washing their hands or participating

34、 in branded activities. They have the choice of cashing in for toys and candy at the gift shop or saving up in the KidZania bank for another day. ” 最重要的是，当孩子们工作的时候，他们通过把工作做得很好或者完成一些小的目标，比如洗手或者参加一些有品牌的活动来获得KidZos。他们可以选择在礼品店兑换玩具和糖果，或者在KidZania银行存钱以备日后之用。可知，孩子们可以用他们挣到的KidZos买东西或将之存入银行，所以KidZos应该是“钱”，故选

35、D。CWe sacrifice our power of full presence when were multitasking, and we do so for a benefit of improved productivity that simply doesnt exist. Multitasking is a myth(虚构的东西).Research indicates that multitaskers are actually less likely to be productive, yet they feel more emotionally satisfied with

39、ks use the same part of the brain.In fact, research indicates up to 40 percent of productivity could be lost due to task-switching. It actually takes more time to complete the tasks you re switching between and you make more errors than when you focus on doing one task at a time in order.A Stanford

40、study confirmed this by showing that those who multitask are indeed worse performers. Studies have shown that it takes four times longer for the brain to recognize new things further slowing clown task completion and that we have a much lower retention (保留)rate of what we learn while we are multitas

44、ty【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过一些研究结果说明了人类的大脑不能同时完成多项任务。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段Research indicates that multitaskers are actually less likely to be productive, yet they feel more emotionally satisfied with their work.（研究表明，一心多用的人实际上效率更低，但他们对自己的工作更有情感上的满足感。）可推知，我们在同时处理多项任务时感觉很好。故选C。【9题详解】推

45、理判断题。根据文章第三段中In fact, research also shows that multitasking, i, e. trying to do two cognitive (认知的) things at the same time, simply cant be done- the mind doesnt work that way.（事实上，研究也表明，一心多用，也就是同时做两件认知的事情，根本是做不到的大脑不是那样工作的。）以及下文中米勒的话Switching from task to task, you think youre actually paying attent

46、ion to everything around you at the same time. But youre actually not.（从一项任务切换到另一项任务，你认为你实际上同时在注意你周围的一切。但实际上你不是。）可知，我们不能multitask，这是由我们大脑自身的功能决定的。因此我们不能强迫大脑同时处理多项任务。故选A。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段We sacrifice our power of full presence when were multitasking, and we do so for a benefit of improved producti

47、vity that simply doesnt exist. Multitasking is a myth.（当我们同时处理多项任务时，我们牺牲了我们的全力，我们这样做是为了提高效率，而这根本不存在。多任务处理是一个神话。）以及下文中的几个研究结果，可以看出，本文的写作目的就是反驳多任务可以提高效率这个观点。故选C。【11题详解】主旨大意题。文章第一段就鲜明地提出了作者要反驳的观点，明确提出multitasking其实就是一个“myth”，这个词的意思是“不真实的事情，不可能存在的事情，虛构的东西”。故选A。【点睛】推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互

48、依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。做好该题型要从整体上把握语篇内容，在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息间架起桥梁，透过字里行间，去体会作者的“弦外之音”。推理判断题常常可以分为如下几类：（1）细节推断。如时间、地点、人物关系等；（2）逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可能原因；（3）目的、意图、态度推断。根据文章的论述，推断作者的写作目的以及作者情感态度；（4）预测想象推断。文章没有明确说明，要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。（5）预测文章出处。根据文章主旨判断出文章可能出自什么地方。例如本文中最后一题就属于第三种类型，属于目的意

49、图题。本文中第1小题属于细节推理题，根据文章第二段Research indicates that multitaskers are actually less likely to be productive, yet they feel more emotionally satisfied with their work.（研究表明，一心多用的人实际上效率更低，但他们对自己的工作更有情感上的满足感。）可推知，我们在同时处理多项任务时感觉很好。故选C。第3小题属于目的推断题，根据文章第一段We sacrifice our power of full presence when were mult

50、itasking, and we do so for a benefit of improved productivity that simply doesnt exist. Multitasking is a myth.（当我们同时处理多项任务时，我们牺牲了我们的全力，我们这样做是为了提高效率，而这根本不存在。多任务处理是一个神话。）以及下文中的几个研究结果，可以看出，本文的写作目的就是反驳多任务可以提高效率这个观点。故选C。DNASA is studying ways to build human habitations on the Red Planet.
