都有自己的發(fā)動機，由液氧和乙醇提供燃料。每一級將點火20秒多一點，火箭將以每小時5522公里的最高

速度運行。）”可知，第二段主要是關(guān)于發(fā)射的預(yù)期過程。故選C。

【答案】12.B13.C14.B15.A

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。文章主要講述人類一直在使用我們所有的大腦。

【12題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段"Butthetruthisthatweuseallofourbrainallofthetime.（但事實是，我們一直在

使用我們所有的大腦）”可知，人類一直在使用我們所有的大腦。故選B。

【13題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Howdoweknow?Foronething,ifweneededonly10percentofourbrain,the

majorityofbraininjurieswouldhavenoobviousconsequences,sincethedamagewouldaffectpartsofthebrain

thatweren'tdoinganythingtobeginwith.Wealsoknowthatnaturalselectiondiscouragesthedevelopmentof

多數(shù)腦損傷都不會有明顯的后果，因為損傷會影響大腦中一開始什么都不做的部分。我們也知道，自然選

擇阻礙無用結(jié)構(gòu)的發(fā)展。更堅韌的免疫系統(tǒng)、更強壯的肌肉、更好看的頭發(fā)一一幾乎任何東西都比腦袋里

塞滿無用的組織更有用）”可知，作者是通過邏輯推理來展開他的論點的。故選C。

【14題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第四段“Sohowdidwecometobelievethat90percentofourbrainisuseless?Themythis

oftenincorrectlyattributedto（歸因于）19th-centurypsychologistWilliamJames,whoproposedthatmostofour

mentalpotentialgoesuntapped.Buthenevermadeclearapercentage.Inreality,theconceptmostlikelycamefrom

theAmericanself-helpindustry.（那么，我們是如何相信我們大腦的90%是無用的呢？這個myth經(jīng)常被錯誤

地歸因于19世紀(jì)的心理學(xué)家威廉?詹姆斯，他認為我們的大部分心理潛力都沒有得到開發(fā)。但他從未明

確表示百分比。事實上，這個概念很可能來自美國的自助行業(yè)）”可知，這里的是指“我們相信我們大腦的

90%是無用的”這件事，而這樣的描述是錯誤的，所以myth的意思應(yīng)該是“錯誤的觀點”，和選項B意

思一致。故選B。

【15題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段"Obviously,thisisbadnewsforanyonehopingtofindthesecrettobecominga

geniusovernight.Thegoodnews,though,isthathardworkstillworks.Thereisplentyofreasontobelievethatyou

canbuildbrainpowerbyregularlyworkingatchallengingmentaltasks,suchasplayingamusicalinstrument,doing

arithmetic,orreadinganovel.（顯然，對于那些希望在一夜之間找到成為天才的秘訣的人來說，這是個壞消

息。不過，好消息是，努力工作仍然有效。有很多理由相信，你可以通過經(jīng)常從事具有挑戰(zhàn)性的腦力工作

來培養(yǎng)腦力，比如演奏樂器、算術(shù)或讀小說）”可知，作者建議人們要從事具有挑戰(zhàn)性的腦力工作來培養(yǎng)腦

力。故選A。
