（2）推理判断题。根据文章第三段The

本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了BethanyYellowtail创建了B.YellowtailCollective，由当地艺术家组成，为他们的社区创造经济机会，延续他们的文化。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。

阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

二、看题干，带着问题读文章。

首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。

三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。

猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。8~11.【答案】D、B、C、D【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据文章第一段Mostofthemsaidregretwasatleastanoccasionalpartoftheirlife.（他们中的大多数人说，遗憾至少是他们生活中偶尔出现的一部分。）可知，大多数人都是有遗憾的，他们觉得遗憾至少是他们生活中偶尔出现的一部分。故选D。

（2）词句猜测题。根据上文Lettingyourselfbeoverwhelmedbyregretisindeedbadforyou.Butgoingtotheotherextrememaybeevenworse.（让自己被遗憾淹没确实对你不好。但走向另一个极端可能更糟。）可知，另一个极端就是消除遗憾，由此可推知，划线词所在的句子意思为：消除你的遗憾并不能让你从羞耻和悲伤中解脱出来，只会让你一次又一次地犯同样的错误。extinguish意为"消除，消灭"。A.Admit.承认；B.Destroy.破坏，消灭；C.Treasure.珍惜；D.Encounter.遇见。故选B。

（3）段落大意题。根据文章第四段Manyconnectionregretsoverlap（重叠）withmoralregrets，whichcancomeaboutafteryougoagainstyourownvalues.（许多人际关系上的遗憾与道德上的遗憾重叠，这可能发生在你违背自己的价值观之后。）可知，该段主要介绍了遗憾和价值观的关系，遗憾可能会发生在违背你自己的价值观之后。故选C。

（4）推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Butregretdoesn'thavetobeputasideandignored.（但遗憾并不一定要被置之不理）可知，作者下文可能要讲的是如何应对遗憾。故选D。

2020年，平克发起了有史以来规模最大的世界后悔调查。他和他的研究团队在105个国家向超过15000人提问："你多久回顾自己的生活，希望自己能做出不同的选择？"大多数人表示后悔至少偶尔出现在他们的生活中。大约21%的人表示他们一直感到后悔。只有1%的人表示他们从不感到后悔。如果你是"无悔"派的人，你可能会认为所有这些后悔会导致不幸。但事实并非如此。让自己被后悔所压倒确实对你不利，但走向另一个极端可能更糟。消除后悔并不能使你摆脱羞愧或悲伤，而是导致你一次又一次地犯同样的错误。要真正克服内疚，就需要将后悔放在适当的位置上。尽管不舒服，但后悔是一种了不起的认知能力。它要求你回到过去的场景。想象一下，如果你采取了不同的行动来改变它，并以这个新场景为基础，与你在现实中经历的场景进行比较。当然，并不是所有的后悔都是一样的。平克说后悔有四种基本类型，而一种后悔可能涉及其中一种或多种组合。许多与人际关系有关的后悔与道德后悔重叠，这可能发生在你违背自己的价值观之后。例如，你可能以成为一个有爱心的人为傲，因此后悔在你伤害了关系中未能达到这个形象。道德后悔也可能只涉及你自己。也许你后悔在吃整个披萨或者不去健身房时没有充分履行对自己健康的承诺。如果不加分析和管理，任何类型的后悔都可能对你的幸福感有害。后悔与抑郁和焦虑有关，过度的后悔可能对你的免疫系统产生不利影响。但后悔并不需要被搁置和忽视。

做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。12~15.【答案】C、A、B、D【解析】（1）C.细节理解题。根据第二段"Surprisingnewresearchsuggeststhathappinessdoesindeedhaveascent，andthattheexperienceofhappinesscanbetransmittedthroughsmell，reportsP."可知，令人惊讶的新研究表明，幸福确实有一种气味，幸福的体验可以通过气味来传递，报告说P网站。所以研究的发现是愉快的感觉能够被闻出来。故选C。

（2）A.词句猜测题。根据第三段"Allofthemenwerehealthyandnoneofthemweredrugusersorsmokers"可知，所有的男性都很健康，没有一个是吸毒者或吸烟者。当时研究者是需要参加实验的人员不能喝酒和吃味道大的食物以免影响了研究的结果。所以划线词的意思是"避免"的意思。A.avoid避免；B.practice实践；C.continue继续；D.try尽力。故选A。

（3）B.细节理解题。根据文章第八段中的"Happinessperfumes，forinstance，couldbeinvented.Scenttherapiescouldalsobedevelopedtohelppeoplethroughdepressionoranxiety"可知，比如，可以发明幸福香水。气味疗法也可以用来帮助人们克服抑郁或焦虑。所以这个研究可以应用到香水的使用方面，所以新研究的应用价值是香水可以用来治疗身体疾病。故选B正确。

（4）D.推理判断题。根据对文章最后一段中"ourownemotionsarepotentiallymanagedthroughoursocialcontextandtheemotionalstatesofthosearoundus"我们自己的情绪是如何通过我们的社会环境和周围人的情绪状态来管理的。可推断社会的环境会影响到我们个人的情绪，故选D。

这是一篇说明文。通过研究发现，快乐是能被闻出来的。
