hidingmorethanusualorrefusingfood/water,theycouldbesickorinpain."（如果你的猫咪正在咕噜咕噌地叫，
但同时也表现出可能出了问题的迹象，比如比平时藏得更多或者拒绝食物/水，它们可能生病了或者很痛苦。）

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Holdingthetailloworhiddenbetweenthelegsindicatesinsecurity,andatail
thafsrapidlytwitchingbackandforthsuggestsanxiety."（把尾巴放低或藏在两腿之间表示不安全感，尾巴快速
来回抽动表示焦虑。）可知，当猫咪把尾巴臧在两腿之间，表示它们感觉到了不安全感。故选A。

【答案】14.A15.D16.B17.D
情才去选择多个专业。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“WhensomeonehearswhatIstudy,Tmusuallymeantwithtworeactions.Firstupisa
smallsmilewiththeword“overachiever“onthetipoftheirtongue.Thesecondisalookofconfusion,followedbyan
exaggerated（夸张的）“why”.”（当有人听到我学习的内容时，我通常会有两种反应。首先是一个小小的微笑
并且说“太有成就了"。第二种是困惑的表情，接着是夸张的“为什么？:）可知，当人们听到作者的专业
时，有的会很佩服，有的是很困惑。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“PoliticalSciencecanbechallenging,buttome,it'sfuntoreadtheConstitution（宪法）
andseetheimpacteachwordhasonourinterpretation.”（政治学可能具有挑战性，但对我来说，阅读《宪法》,
看看每一个字对我们的解释有什么影响是很有趣的。）和第三段“Whatisgoingtomakeyouimpressiveisthe
passionthatyouhave-whetheritbeinyourstudy,career,orsomethingelseyourcareerandstudywillenableyouto
do."（让你印象深刻的是你所拥有的激情一一无论是在你的学习、职业生涯中，还是在你的职业和学习将使
你能够做的其他事情中。）可知，是热情和激情使得作者喜欢学习政治学。故选D。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Thismaysoundhardtoaccept,butifyouaredoubleortriplemajoringbecauseyouthink
you'reinaracewithyourpeers,you'reonlyrunningyourselfintotheground.Don'tdoubleortriplemajorifyouare
doingitforamarkonyourresume（简历），becausethenyourlifewillbealivinghellfbrthenextfouryears."（这
听起来可能很难接受，但如果你是双主修或三主修，因为你认为你在与同龄人竞争，你只是把自己撞到地
上。如果你是为了简历上的一个分数而选择双主修或三主修，那么你的生活在接下来的四年里将是一个地
狱。）可知，在作者看来，选择多个专业让大学生们处在糟糕的状况的原因是，他们只是为了在跟同龄人竞
争才选择多个专业的。故选B。
17题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Whatisgoingtomakeyouimpressiveisthepassionthatyouhave-whetheritbeinyour
study,career,orsomethingelseyourcareerandstudywillenableyoutodo."（让你印象深刻是你所拥有的激情
—无论是在你的学习、职业生涯中，还是在你的职业和学习将使你能够做的其他事情中。）和最后一段
uAlwaysthinkaboutyour"why"whenitcomestothescheduleadoubleortriplemajorentails.Becauseattheend
oftheday,it'sgoingtobeyoudoingthehomework-sotrytoenjoywhatyou'redoingalongtherideforwhatit's
候，是你自己在做家庭作业，所以试着享受你在旅途中所做的一切，因为它是值得的。）可知，作者写这篇

Ifyouhave,youarenotalone.Psychologistsbelievethatwalkingthroughadoorandenteringanotherroomcreatesa

'我是要去干什么？'如果你有，你并不孤单。心理学家认为，穿过一扇门进入另一个房间会在大脑中造
成‘精神障碍'。这通常被称为门口效应）”可知，进入一个房间忘记自己要做的事情被称作门口效应。故
选Co
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Intheearlyyearsofbrainresearch,scientiststhoughtthathumanmemorywaslikea
closet,withmanysectionsinwhichwecouldstorelittleboxesofexperiencesfromourlives.Boxeswouldremain
thereforever,andwheneverwehadtolookintothem,wecouldjustgotothatparticularsectionandfindthatboxof

我们生活中的经历。盒子会永远留在那里，每当我们需要查看它们的时候，我们就可以去那个特定的区域，
找到那个记忆盒子）”以及第三段中的aBeautifulasthisdescriptionofhumanmemoryformationsounds,itisnot

性的）ingeneral.Ifyouthinkbackonanything,you'llprobablyquicklyrealizeourmemoriesdon'tfunctionasclear

它是不真实的。我们的大脑比这复杂的多。心理学研究表明，我们的记忆通常是情节性的。如果你回想什
么事情，你可能很快就会意识到我们的记忆并不是清晰的叙事。相反，它们更有情节性，被分成了多个部
分）”可知，并不是所有的记忆都是可以在大脑中找到的。故选C。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句"Baumannalsopointsoutthatabusyandperhapsoverloadedbraindoesseem
toplaysomepartinthisphenomenon^Baumann还指出，一个忙碌且可能超负荷的大脑似乎确实在这种现象
中发挥了一些作用）”可知，超负荷的大脑会增加门口效应的可能性。故选D。
【21题详解】
推理判断题，根据最后一段“Thegoodnewsisthatexperiencingsuchforgettableepisodesafterenteringanother
roomdoesnottellyouanythingaboutyourmemoryandintelligence.Sowhenyouenteraroomandsuddenlyforget
whyyouarethere,youshouldnotthinkthatAlzheimer'sdiseaseiscreepinguponyou!（好消息是，在进入另一个
房间后经历这种遗忘的插曲不会告诉你任何关于你的记忆力和智力的事情。所以，当你走进一个房间，突
然忘记了自己为什么在那里时，你不应该认为阿尔茨海默病正在悄悄靠近你！）”可知出现门口效应并不表
示记忆力或智力出现问题，没有什么影响。故选A。

【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段"Asaculturalsign,thepillowisdeceptivelysoft.Sinceatleastthe16thCentury,the
humblepillowhasbeengivenunexpectedmeanings.TheChineseplaywrightTangXianzutellsafamousstory

被赋予了意想不到的意义。中国剧作家汤显祖讲了一个著名的故事：一位智者在客栈里遇到一位抑郁的年
轻书生，并送给他一个神奇的枕头，枕头里装满了看似更加充实的生活的最生动的梦想。当这个年轻人醒
来，发现他50年的幸福梦想实际上在一个下午的小睡中来了又去时，我们对枕头力量的印象从惊讶变成了
恐惧）”可知，汤显祖的故事中枕头虽轻，但却让抑郁的书生明白了生活的意义。因此推知，汤显祖的例子
是为了说明枕头象看似柔软但却意义重大。故选A项。
[23题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句子“ignoranceisthesoftestpillowonwhichamancanresthishead（无知是最柔软的枕
头，一个人可以在上面休息）”中关键词ignorance可知，划线部分的含义指的是“什么都不想的人很容易入
睡”。故选C项。

细节理解题。根据最后一段的句子"Likearitualofrelease,theannualinternationalpillowfightamountstoakind
ofcleansing,abrushingoffofdailywonies:anemptyingoftheworld'scollectivemind.（一年一度的国际枕头大
战就像一种释放的仪式，相当于一种净化，是对日常烦恼的推除：是对世界集体思想的清空）”可知，枕头
大战日在全世界都很受欢迎因为它能安抚不安的心灵。故选B项。
