ghtofmydespair,Idecidedtosignupforaballetclass.(就在我陷入极度低落时，我决定报名芭蕾课。)”可知，作者报名芭蕾课是为了提振低落的心情。5．答案：A推理判断题。根据第二段“AndthoughI’dthoughtmyclassestobephysicallydemanding,Ihadn’texpectedthatmyteacher’scommandto‘takeupmorespace’wouldchangemywayofbeingintheworld.(虽然我早料到芭蕾课对体能消耗很大，却万万没想到老师那句‘大胆舒展、放开自己’的叮嘱，会彻底改变我看待生活、立身于世的心态。)”以及第三段“Slowly,Istartedbecomingmorecomfortablewiththebodyinthemirror.(慢慢地，我开始坦然接纳镜子里自己的身体。)”、“Insteadofnoticingonlythesignsofaging,Iamnowamazedatwhatmybodyiscapableof.(从前我只会盯着身上衰老的痕迹暗自难过，如今却惊叹于自己身体蕴藏的无限潜能。)”可知，练习芭蕾过程十分艰难，但这段经历收获满满。6．答案：C细节理解题。根据第三段“Insteadofnoticingonlythesignsofaging,Iamnowamazedatwhatmybodyiscapableof.Asfortheimperfections?They’repartofbeingalive.(从前我只会留意身上衰老的痕迹，如今却惊叹于身体蕴藏的力量。至于那些不完美？那正是鲜活活着的证明。)”可知，作者不再纠结衰老与动作缺陷，懂得接纳不完美、珍视鲜活的生命本身，这份对“活着”的感悟支撑她坚持跳舞。7．答案：B主旨大意题。根据第二段“WhenIsighedovermylackofgraceintheseeminglysimpleact,myteacherremindedmethatballetisn’taboutperfection.Rather,it’saboutstrivingforperfection.(每当我因为连看似简单的动作都做得毫无优雅可言而叹气时，老师都会开导我：芭蕾追求的从来不是完美无瑕的结果，而是拼尽全力奔赴完美的过程。)”以及最后一段“WhenIdomydailyballetclass,Ifocusonmybreathingandmovemybodyinwaysthatalwayschallengemeandremindmeofeverythingthatispossible.(每日练习芭蕾时，我专注调整呼吸，用充满挑战的方式舒展身体，这时刻提醒我：世间万事皆有实现的可能。)”可知，全文围绕不必执着完美结果、享受努力过程展开，即：旅途之美，远胜终点。8．答案：B细节理解题。根据第一段“Theythinkthatittakesbothcognitive(认知的)andemotionalabilitytoprocessandproducehumour.(他们认为，加工和产生幽默需要认知能力和情感能力兼具)”可知，奥地利的研究人员认为处理和产生幽默需要认知和情感能力。9．答案：C推理判断题。根据第二段“Havingahumorouswayofthinkingaboutlifeisalsoagoodstrategy.Ithelpspeoplebettermanagestressandchallenges.(用幽默的方式看待生活也是一个好策略。它能帮助人们更好地应对压力和挑战)”以及后文对幽默诸多益处的阐述可知，作者认为拥有幽默的人生观是有益的，对其持支持态度。10．答案：A推理判断题。根据第三段“Dopaminenotonlymakesusfeelgreat,butalsoopensupthelearningcentresofthebrain,whichenablesmoreneural(神经)connections.Asaresult,webecomemoreflexibleandcreativeinourthinking.(多巴胺不仅让我们感觉良好，还能打开大脑的学习中枢，从而产生更多的神经连接。结果，我们的思维会变得更加灵活、更有创造力)”可知，多巴胺有助于提高人们的思维能力和创造力。11．答案：C词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Severalstudieshaveshowedthatlessonsthataredeliveredwithhumouraremoreenjoyableforstudents,andalsobolsterstudents’understandingandrecallofthetopic.(几项研究表明，带有幽默感的课程对学生来说更愉快，也能bolster学生对主题的理解和记忆)”可知，幽默的课程既有趣，又对学生理解和记忆有积极作用，故bolster意为“巩固，增强，提高”，与Improve意思最相近。12．答案：B细节理解题。根据第二段中“Usingslow-motionvideocapturedbothimmediatelyaftertheireventsandlaterontheawardspodium,researchersfoundthebronzewinnersappearedconsistentlyhappieronaveragethanthesilvermedalists.(通过使用在赛事结束后即刻以及在颁奖台上拍摄的慢动作视频，研究人员发现，铜牌获得者在平均意义上看起来比银牌获得者更快乐。)”可知，1995年的研究表明，铜牌获得者看起来比银牌获得者更快乐。故选B项。13．答案：D细节理解题。根据第三段中“Inotherwords,silvermedalistsseethemselvesasthefirstloserbecausetheylookuptothetopstepandcomparethemselvesonlywiththegoldmedalists;nevertheless,thebronzewinnerscomparethemselvesfavorablywithalltheotherswhonevermadeitontothepodiumatall.Thistheoryilluminatesthedifferencebetweenupwardanddownwardsocialcomparison.(换句话说，银牌获得者会认为自己是第一失败者，因为他们总是将自己与最高领奖台上的选手进行比较，而忽略了其他所有未能登上领奖台的选手；然而，铜牌获得者则会将自己与所有从未登上过领奖台的选手进行积极的比较。这一理论揭示了向上型和向下型社会比较之间的差异。)”可知，奖牌获得者寿命差异的原因在于不同类型的社会比较带来的心理影响。故选D项。14．答案：B细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Theconceptatworkhereistryingtoimproveyourownpastperformanceandtheonlypersontowhomyouwillhavetocompareyourselfisyou.(这里起作用的理念是：努力提升自己的过往表现，而你唯一需要与之进行比较的对象就是你自己。)”可知，作者建议我们致力于持续的个人成长，即与自己比较、不断进步，从而获得成功。故选B项。15．答案：D主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Fortunately,thereisastrategytosolvethiscomplicatedproblem:insteadofalwaysgoingforgold,shootforthebronze.(幸运的是，有一个解决这一复杂问题的策略：不要总是追求金牌，而应努力争取铜牌。)”可知，文章主要指出不必总追求“金牌”，争取“铜牌”，即“足够好”，反而可能带来幸福与长寿，并通过研究数据和社会比较理论论证。因此，D项“位列第三：做到‘足够好’所带来的好处”准确呼应主题，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。16．答案：A；F；G；C；E①由上文“Inthespringof2022,afteradepressing58-lossseason,theOklahomaCityThundersatnearthebottomoftheNBAstandings.(2022年春天，在经历了一个令人沮丧的58负赛季后，俄克拉荷马城雷霆队位列NBA积分榜底部。)”以及下文“Injustthreeseasonsitrocketedfromthebottomtothetopoftheleague.(短短三个赛季，它就从底部跃升至联盟顶端。)”可知，本空讲述发生了转折性的变化，A选项“Butsomethingremarkablehappened.(但引人瞩目的事情发生了。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“But”与上文的低谷形成转折关系，且该选项中的“somethingremarkable”与下文的“rocketedfromthebottomtothetop”相呼应，表示情况发生了惊人的逆转。②由上文“Duringthepastfewyears,mycolleaguesandIhavebeeninvestigatingaquestion:Whatdothebestteamsdodifferently?(过去几年，我和同事们一直在研究一个问题：最优秀的团队有何不同？)”以及下文“Andwecollecteddetaileddataonhowtheirteamssetpriorities,makedecisions,andcooperate.(并且我们收集了关于这些团队如何确定优先事项、做出决策和协作的详细数据。)”可知，本空要说研究的具体方法，F选项“Tofindout,wesurveyedover6,000knowledgeworkersacrossvariousindustries.(为了找到答案，我们调查了各行各业的6,000多名知识工作者。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“Tofindout”指代上文的“investigatingaquestion”，且该选项中的“wesurveyed”与下文的“wecollected”形成并列递进关系，时态上均为一般过去时，表示研究过程的连续动作。③由上文“Thoseratedhighestwerecalled‘superteams’(评分最高的被称为‘超级团队’)”以及下文“Superteamssharethreekeystrengths(超级团队具备三项关键优势)”可知，本空要说超级团队的共性特征，G选项“Amongthosesuperteams,thesecrettohighperformancelookedremarkablysimilar.(在这些超级团队中，高绩效的秘诀看起来非常相似。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“thosesuperteams”指代上文的“superteams”，且该选项中的“lookedremarkablysimilar”与下文的“sharethreekeystrengths”相呼应，表示引出对共性优势的总结。④由上文“ItisthatlaststrengththattheThunderhasclearlymastered.(雷霆队显然已经掌握了最后一项优势。)”以及下文“It’spartofapatternthathasdefinedtheorganizationsinceitmovedtoOklahomaCityin2008.(这是该组织自2008年迁至俄克拉何马城以来形成的一种模式的一部分。)”可知，本空要说雷霆队的崛起并非偶然，C选项“Itsrapidriseoverthepastfewyearsisnotanaccident.(它过去几年的快速崛起并非偶然。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“Its”指代上文的“theThunder”，且该选项中的“notanaccident”与下文的“partofapattern”相呼应，表示这种成功是有规律、有原因的。⑤由上文“TheThunder’sstoryisareminderthatsuccessgrowsfromthepursuitofimprovement,thedecisiveleaderswhospotandsolveproblems,andthemotivatedteamsthatcooperatewell.Thosearethehabitsthatturngoodteamsintosuperteams.(雷霆队的故事提醒我们，成功源于对进步的追求、能发现并解决问题的果断领导者，以及合作良好的积极团队。这些习惯将优秀团队转变为超级团队。)”可知，本空要说这些习惯的普遍适用性，E选项“Anyteamcandevelopthem,whetherinbasketball,business,orbeyond.(任何团队都可以培养这些习惯，无论是在篮球、商业还是其他领域。)”能承接上文，符合题意，该选项中的“them”指代上文的“thehabits”，且该选项中的“Anyteam”与文章开头“Howdoesateamimprovesoquickly?Thatquestionisn'tjustaboutbasketball”相呼应，表示从具体案例升华到普遍规律。17．答案：C考查动词词义辨析。句意：但我感到非常紧张，以至于我错误地播放了一个卡通视频——一只有趣的猫在屏幕上跳舞。A.watched观看；B.changed改变；C.played播放；D.made制作。根据后文“acartoonvideobymistake”可知，作者操作失误，播放了卡通视频。故选C。18．答案：A考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但我感到非常紧张，以至于我错误地播放了一个卡通视频——一只有趣的猫在屏幕上跳舞。A.amusing有趣的；B.respected受尊敬的；C.precious宝贵的；D.tiring令人疲倦的。根据后文“catwasdancingonthescreen”和“Thewholeclasswentsilentfirst.Then,someone”可知，猫在跳舞，所以是有趣的，且下文描述有人笑了，也说明这个视频有趣。故选A。19．答案：D考查动词词义辨析。句意：然后，有人笑了。A.sighed叹气；B.cried哭泣；C.shouted喊叫；D.laughed笑。根据前文“catwasdancingonthescreen”、“Thewholeclasswentsilentfirst.Then,someone”、“Didyouplanthisto____us”可知，屏幕上出现滑稽的跳舞猫，与严肃的科学展示形成反差，所以开始的时候大家沉默，
