2017年某市消费者选择餐厅时的关注因素

答案解析

1、【答案】[B]resolve

【解析】此处考察词义辨析。首段首句以问句形式提出文章中心：人们浏览网络负面评论

信息以及做某些明显令人痛苦的事情的原因。第二句给出原因：由于人们内心里有一种

一（生活中的）不确定原因或不安的需求，空格处所需的动词需要和背面的宾语

uncertainty构成语义搭配,B选项resolve（处理、消除）符合语义规定；A选项protect

（保护），C选项discuss（讨论），D选项ignore（忽视）带入空格后，语义不通顺，均

排除。故对的答案为B选项resolve。

2、【答案】[D]seek

【解析】此处考察词义辨析。空格所在句指出：这项新研究表明，这种求知需求如此强烈

以至于人们会（答案）来满足他们的好奇心虽然他们清晰答案会_____o空格处所填

入的词需要和背面隐含的宾语答案来构成顺畅的语义搭配，只有D选项seek（试图、设

法、寻找）符合规定；A选项refuse（拒绝），B选wait（等待），C选项regret（遗憾）

带入后，语义不通顺。故对的答案为［D］seck。

3、【答案】［A］hurl

【解析】此处考察词义辨析。空格所在句指出：这项新研究表明，这种求知需求如此强烈

以至于人们寻找答案来满足他们的好奇心虽然答案明显.本句中的evenwhen（虽

然）构成了前后的对立关系，因此空格处所填入的词需和前面的感情色彩词"strong”及语义

构成对立，只有A选项hurt（令人痛苦）符合规定；此外此处的itisclear（hattheanswer

willhurt也和第一句中的ihacwillobviouslybepainful构成了近义复现。故A选项为对的答

案。

4、【答案】［D］expose

【解析】此处考察固定短语。空格所在处，构成了_onesel「I。sih构造，只有D选项

expose符合规定（使某人暴露在...中），故D选项expose为对的答案。

5、【答案】［0trail

【解析】此处考察词义辨析。木段段首提到“aseriesoffourexperiments”，空格所在句给出

其中一种试验的信息，只有C选项trail与experiment语义相近，故对的答案为C选项

trailo

6、【答案】【D】deliver

【解析】此处考察上下文信息对应以及动宾搭配问题。上文指出：Forone（rial,each

participantwasshownapileofpensthattheresearcherclaimedwerefromapreviousexperiment.

在一种试验中，研究人员给每位受试者一堆笔并声称其源于先前的试验。这是试验的背

景。下文详细试验展开，Halfofthepenswould...anelectricshockwhenclicked.有二分之一

的比在按下的时候会使使人触电。因此比对选项，要选择deliver,发出，递送。因此选择D.

deliver

7、【答案】【A】when

【解析】此处考察上下文句间的逻辑关系。空前空后是状语的关系。上文讲的是Twenty­

sevenstudentsweretoldwhichpenswererigged;another27weretoldonly…研究人员告知（

27名受试学生哪些笔是内有玄机，而此外27名学生只懂得有些笔是带电的。下文就是详

细的发生的试验状态了。当他们独自在房里时，…而不是条件if,unless或者转折关系。因

此选择Ao

8、【答案】【B】happen

【解析】此处考察上下语境下的句内动词关系。根据上文的试验背景，试验中27个人懂得

哪些笔是内有玄机，而此外27名学生只懂得有些笔是带电的。下面的告知了试验的结

论：当他们独自在房里时，那些不知哪些笔带电的学生按下了更多的笔头，比这些受试者

多，背面是定语，显然这些受试者是只上文被告知的人，因此这些人懂得thesludeniswho

knewwhatwouldhappen,强调成果性。因此选择B.happen

9、（答案］【D】suchas

【解析】此处考察句间的逻辑关系。上文在之后其他刺激原因的试验中，后文讲到详细的试

验：指甲刮黑板的声音和令人生厌的昆虫图片显然这里需要例证关系，故选择D.suchas

10、【答案】【A】discover

【解析】此处考察上下文的信息对应和句内信息对应c这是个中心复现词，文章开篇提

出：Thehumandrivetoresolveuncertaintyissostrong…人们对于才找答案以消除不确定原

因总是乐此不疲.再根据上文的试验，都表达这是一种discover的需求，越是不确定的，越

好奇。故选择A.discover

II、【答案】［D］food

【解析】此处考察同义复现。这个空出目前卡内基梅隆大学（CarnegieMellonUniversi
