答案解析

1A.BesidesB.UnlikeC.ThroughoutD.Despite

【答案】A

【解析】根據(jù)本句句內邏輯關系，“ittumsoutthathugs…”說明擁抱還有其他結果。因此，前文的邏輯關系

應該為“除此以外”，結合選項，A.Besides(除此之外)最為合適。

2A.equalB.restrictedC.connectedD.inferior

【答案】C

【解析】本題實為邏輯關系題。根據(jù)句子前后結構“helpingyoufeelcloseand(2)”，我們可以判斷，

由于空格處與前面內容通過and連接，說明我們要選擇一個單詞與feelclose同義，并且要與后面介詞to連

用。因此，通過對于四個選項含義判斷，C選項有“關聯(lián)的”含義最為符合。

3A.viewB.hostC.lessonD.choice

【答案】B

【解析】此題為固定搭配?！癮hostof”表示大量的。其他選項搭配不合理。

4A.avoidB.forgetC.recallD.keep

【答案】A

【解析】根據(jù)題干信息“awarmembracemightevenhelpyou（4）gettingsickthiswinter."中，出現(xiàn)"even”，

表示“甚至"，說明此句話與上一句話存在遞進的邏輯關系。上一句話的語義表示“擁抱可以帶來大量的好

處”，因此，這句話也應該表示擁抱的好處。根據(jù)四個選項含義，A.avoid（避免）B.forget（SiE）C.recall

（回憶）D.keep（保持），A選項“避免生病”最符合文意。

5A.collectingB.affectingC.guidingD.involving

【答案】D

【解析】本題考查現(xiàn)在分詞做后置定語，需要選擇一個現(xiàn)在分詞修飾前面的“study”，因此，結合四個選項

A.collecting（收集）B.affecting（影響）C.guiding（引導）D.involving（涉及、卷入），根據(jù)句子含義，

應該表達“關于涉及400人”的研究。因此正確選項應為D

6A.onB.inC.atD.of

【答案】A

【解析】本題為固定搭配。根據(jù)句義uexaminedtheeffectsofperceivedsocialsupportandthereceiptof

hugs（6）theparticipants,...考查固定搭配“examinedtheeffects…onsth”因此，本題正確選項為A。

7A.devotedB.attractedC.lostD.exposed

【答案】D

【解析】根據(jù)句義ucommonc
