第1题:
【解析】根据本句句内逻辑关系,“it turns out that hug...”说明拥抱还有其他结果。因此,前文的逻辑关系应该为“除此以外”,结合选项,B项Besides(除此之外)最为合适。
第2题:
【解析】本题实为逻辑关系题。根据句子前后结构“helping you feel close and_____” 我们可以判断,由于空格处与前面内容通过and连接,说明我们要选择一个单词与feel close同义,并且要与后面介词to连用。因此,通过对于四个选项含义判断,A选项有“有联系的”含义最为符合。
第3题:
【解析】此题为固定搭配。“a host of”表示大量的。其他选项搭配不合理。
第4题:
【解析】根据题干信息“a warm embrace might even help you getting sick this winter.”中,出现“even”,表示“甚至”,说明此句话与上一句话存在递进的逻辑关系。上一句话的语义表示“拥抱可以带来大量的好处”,因此,这句话也应该表示拥抱的好处。根据四个选项含义,A项recall(回忆),B项forget(忘记),c项avoid(避免),D项keep(保持),C选项“避免生病”最符合文意。
第5题:
【解析】本题考查现在分词做后置定语,需要选择一个现在分词修饰前面的"study",因此,结合四个选项A项collecting(收集),B项involving(涉及、卷入),C项guiding(引导),D项affecting(影响),根据句子含义,应该表达“关于涉及400人”的研究。因此正确选项应为B。
第6题:
【解析】本题为固定搭配。根据句义“examined the effects of perceived social support and the receipt of hugs the participants'..”考查固定搭配"examined the effects on sth”因此,本题正确选项为D。
第7题:
【解析】根据句义 “common cold alter being to the virus.” “通常感冒是在病毒之后发生的。”结合选项含义A项devoted(致力于),B项exposed(暴露于),C项lost(丢失),D项attracted(吸引),B项“暴露在病毒”,符合文意。
第8题:
【解析】本题为固定搭配,A项come across with(偿付)B项come along with(和……相处的好),C项come down with(得病,感染),D项come out with(出版,提出),结合语境,根据后面与cold(感冒)搭配,C选项“得感冒”搭配最为合理。
第9题:
【解析】本题为动词与宾语从句搭配问题。根据原文 “the researchers _____ that the stress-reducing effects of hugging about 32 percent of that beneficial effect.”作的主语是“研究人员”,连接后面的宾语从句“拥抱减小压力的作用”,并且有数据支撑。从选项含义A项calculated(计算,推测),B项denied(否认),C项doubted(怀疑),D项imagined(想象),宾语从句部分应为研究人员计算推测出的结果。因此,选项A符合要求。
第10题:
【解析】本题为动词含义考查:根据文章内容, “the stress-reducing effects of hugging about 32 percent of that beneficial effect.”题同样考查研究人员做出的研究结果,因此,结合选项含义A项served(服务),B项required(要求),C项restored 存储),D项 explained(解释),D项符合语境要求。
第11题:
【解析】本题为逻辑关系题。A项Even(甚至,表示递进关系),B项Sill(仍然,表示强调关系),C项Rather(相反,表示对比关系),D项Thus(因此,表示因果关系),根据文章上下文逻辑,下文是对上文做进一步说明,因此选择递进关系比较符合逻辑关系。A为正确选项。
第12题:
【解析】形容词与名词搭配问题。根据语境"the ones who felt greater social support and received more frequent hugs had less severe所选词要与severe构成合理搭配,再结合前文语境是关于对于拥抱实验的结果。因此,B项symptoms(症状)符合语境要求。正确选项为B。
第13题:
【解析】本题为形容词修饰。根据原文 “Hugging protects people who are under stress from the risk for colds that's usually with stress,需要选择一个形容词来修饰risk,在选项中,A项minimized(最小的),B项highlighted(突出的),c项controlled(被控制的),D项increased(增加的),对比选项含义,选D“增加的风险”更符合原文语境。
第14题:
【解析】此题为固定搭配题。C选项不可以和with连接,A项equipped with连接,意为“装备着…"B项associated和with连接,意为“与....有关联”,D项compared和with连接表示“和…相比”不符合文章要求。因此,本题正确选项为B。
第15题:
【解析】此题考查动宾搭配:根据原文 “Hugging is a marker of intimacy and help _____ the feeling…”,需要选择一个动词能够和后文的 “the feeling”搭配。分析选项含义:A项assess(评估),B项moderate(缓和),C项generate(产生),D项record(记录),四个选项中,C项"generate the feeling”意为,“产生感觉”搭配最为合理。因此C项正确。
第16题:
【解析】此题为短语搭配题。分析选项含义A项in the face of(面对……),B项in the form of(以……的形式),C项in the way of(以……的方式),D 项in the name of(以……为名),结合文章语境,应为“面对困难”搭配最为合理。因此,正确选项为A。
第17题:

第18题:
【解析】此题为逻辑关系题。选项含义A项because(因为),B项unless(除非),C项though(虽然),D项until(直到……才)。结合原文语境,"often called ‘the bonding hormone’ _____ it promotes attachment in relationships,”(经常被称之为“融合激素.…它促进了关系中的依赖。)从本句来看,前后文属于因果逻辑关系。因此正确选项为A。
第19题:
【解析】本题为动词辨析。选项含义为A项emerges(出现),B项vanishes(消失),C项remains(保留),D项decreases(减少)结合语境信息 “But some of it_______in the brain,”B和D选项与文章含义相反。而A选项只表示一种动作。C选项表示它仍然在大脑里存在,最符合文章要求,因此正确选项为C。
第20题:
【解析】本题为动词辨析。选项含义为A项experiences(经历),B项combines(结合),C项justifies(替某人辩护,证明合理),D项influences(影响)。根据原文语境,"where it _____ mood,behavior and physiology."能够搭配后面并列的三个宾语“情绪、行为、和生理”,只有D项“影响”因此正确选项为D。
