答案與題解：

l.A本句前半句說(shuō)土豆泥、通心粉等對(duì)血管有害(bad)，后半句說(shuō)這些食物對(duì)心臟有利(good).很明顯，前半句與后半句意思相反，所以要選轉(zhuǎn)折連接詞but加以連接。

2.C依據(jù)常識(shí)推斷，吃土豆泥不會(huì)對(duì)personality(性格).movement(移動(dòng))或will(意志力)產(chǎn)生有利影響。隨后的文章，多處提到吃爽心食品(favoritefood)有助于排解孤獨(dú)感。所以選emotions是正確的。

3.D本題的答案是personally0Formepersonally(就我個(gè)人而言)與下文的.意思很連貫。privately(私下地)、usefully(有用地)或awfully(可怕地)與下文的意思搭不上，所以不會(huì)是答案。

4.B本題的答案是lookedat0.lookedatnon-humanthings相當(dāng)于studied(討論)nonhumanthings，與上下文的意思很匹配。lookedfor(查找)、lookedafter(照看)和lookedup(查找)與下文的意思搭配不上。

5.A本句的意思是：人們?yōu)榱伺沤夤陋?dú)感，經(jīng)常把自己和電視劇、流行歌曲歌手等等聯(lián)系起來(lái)。選項(xiàng)中有四個(gè)形容詞，應(yīng)當(dāng)選哪一個(gè)形容詞去修飾TVshows呢?應(yīng)當(dāng)選褒義的形容詞：favorite(寵愛(ài)的)或trustful(可信任的)。但對(duì)電視劇來(lái)說(shuō)談不上信任的問(wèn)題。favorite最合理，是本題答案。

6.C上一句說(shuō)到，人們?yōu)榱伺沤夤陋?dú)感，經(jīng)常把自己和寵愛(ài)的電視劇、流行歌曲歌手等等聯(lián)系起來(lái)。于是Troisi和Gabriel想，通過(guò)吃爽心食品讓他們想起親近的人，是不是也能產(chǎn)生同樣的排解孤獨(dú)感的效果呢?四個(gè)介詞中只有by的詞義是通過(guò).其余三個(gè)介詞在含義上都不合適。

7.B選professors(教授)、assistants(助手)或scientists(科學(xué)家)不合常理，科學(xué)家選試驗(yàn)對(duì)象時(shí)不會(huì)選他們。participants(參加者)是本題的答案。

8.A本題應(yīng)當(dāng)選group，指每一組的參加者。用class(班級(jí))，section(部門(mén))或part(部分)在意義上明顯都不合適。

9.D本段敘述試驗(yàn)的幾個(gè)步驟。第一步要一部分受試者描寫(xiě)與親人的爭(zhēng)斗，其他受試者寫(xiě)情感上中性的話題。其次步(文中用then加以連接)將上述兩組受試者中的每一組再一分為二，一些人描寫(xiě)吃爽心食品的經(jīng)受，另一些人描寫(xiě)吃新食品的經(jīng)受。接下來(lái)應(yīng)當(dāng)是第三步了。從四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中查找，只有Finally最合適，原來(lái)第三步就是最終一步了。

1O.D試驗(yàn)的最終一步是受試者被要求書(shū)面回答10個(gè)問(wèn)題。complete是答案。要求他們r(jià)emember(記住)、delete(刪除)或rewrite(重寫(xiě))questions都不合乎規(guī)律。

11.B與親近的人爭(zhēng)吵會(huì)引發(fā)孤獨(dú)感，但是，一般說(shuō)來(lái)，人們的關(guān)系若是通常處于什么狀態(tài)，通過(guò)寫(xiě)出他們吃爽心食物的經(jīng)受會(huì)降低他們的孤獨(dú)感呢?肯定不會(huì)是sad、shy或angry，答案應(yīng)當(dāng)是secure(穩(wěn)定的)。

12.D修飾essays的全部格代詞在人稱與數(shù)上要與they全都，所以their是答案。

13.Ceatingfoodwithfamilyandfriends是一種experience(經(jīng)受
