【答案】31.B32.A33.C34.B35.B

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文主要介紹了人們更傾向于相信自信的人所說(shuō)的信息，并介紹了有這種現(xiàn)象的原因，但是我們

需要意識(shí)到自信的信息可能更具有說(shuō)服力，但并不一定是正確的。在現(xiàn)今復(fù)雜的世界中，盲目相信自信的

人可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致不良后果。

【31題詳解】

詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)“Imaginethis:onepersontellsalieconfidently,whileanothersayssomethingtrueina

hesitantvoice”可知一個(gè)人自信地告訴，而另一個(gè)人則用猶豫的聲音說(shuō)出了真實(shí)的話，故此處劃線部分和

uncertain意義相近。故選B。

【32題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)"humansarefarmorelikelytobelieveinformationdelivered（傳達(dá)）confidentlybyaconfident

personorinsomeotherwaysusingconfidentlanguage.”可知人類(lèi)更有可能相信由自信的人或以其他方式使用

自信的語(yǔ)言自信地傳遞的信息。故選A。

【33題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Whyisthisthecase?AsBurnettsaid,humansaresocialanimals...”可知這個(gè)例子說(shuō)明人類(lèi)

是群居動(dòng)物，這讓人們相信更自信的聲音。故選C。

【34題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Onamorepersonallevel,weuseourownexperiencestounderstandwhatotherpeopledo

andsay.Thafshowourbrainworks.Whenweareconfident,ifsforgoodreason.“可知在更私人的層面上，我

們用自己的經(jīng)歷來(lái)理解別人的言行，當(dāng)我們有信心的時(shí)候，這是有充分理由的。故選B。

【35題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Trustingveryconfidentpeoplewithoutcheckingthefactscanleadto"undesirableoutcomes

（不良后果）…可知在不核實(shí)事實(shí)的情況下信任非常自信的人可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致“不良結(jié)果”。故選Bo

【答案】36.D37.D38.B39.D40.B

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文講述了需求是發(fā)明之母，發(fā)明家不一定非得是科學(xué)家。

【36題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)“YES!Theyareallinventions”可知它們都是發(fā)明，因此選項(xiàng)D“這些東西有什么共同之

處？”符合，故選D。

【37題詳解】

詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)“Weoftenhearthatnecessityisthemotherofinvention,anditmeansthatpeopleoften

identifyoneoftheirneedsandthentrytomeetthatneed."可知我們經(jīng)常聽(tīng)說(shuō)，需求是發(fā)明之母，這意味著人

們經(jīng)常發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的需求之一，然后努力滿足那個(gè)需求。因此identify是“發(fā)現(xiàn)”的意思，故選D。

【38題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Theymayhavehadhelpfromascientist,butmanypeoplehaveshownthatinventorscan

comefromanybackground.“可知發(fā)明家可以來(lái)自任何背景；"Theydiscoveredaneedandtheninventeda

producttosatisfyit.”可知需求是發(fā)明之母。因此是②④，故選B。

【39題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)"Althoughthinkingscientificallyisoftenanecessity,itcanalsobehelpfultothinkoutofthe

box”可知雖然科學(xué)思考往往是必要的，但跳出框框思考也是有幫助的。因此人們需要用新的、不同的方式

來(lái)思考事情。故選D。

【40題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)“See?Youdon'thavetobeascientisttobeaninventor”可知作者想告訴我們發(fā)明家不一定

非得是科學(xué)家。故選B。
