We collect new-and-improved ideas, but don’t delete the outdated ones.”可知,当人们面对生活中的问题时,通常会添加新规则。故选C。 2.D 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Leidy Klotz’s Lego bridge test, with two support towers of differing heights, found that almost everyone added a Lego brick to the shorter tower, rather than removing a brick from the longer tower.”(Leidy Klotz的乐高大桥测试有两个不同高度的支撑塔,测试发现几乎每个人都在较矮的塔上添加了一块乐高积木,而不是从较高的塔上取下一块积木。)可知,作者是通过引用一个典型的测试来证明他的观点的。故选D。 3.A 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“Initial studies show that our mental short cuts have a preference for adding when we are solving problems. We are tricked by our mindset.” (最初的研究表明,在我们解决问题时,我们的思维捷径更倾向于加法。我们被自己的思维倾向所欺骗。)可知,最初的固定思维倾向导致人们忽略了减法的选项。故选A。 4.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Getting to less often means doing, or at least thinking, more. In your pursuit of success and happiness I encourage you to overcome the tendency to ignore subtraction. Subtracting can be delightful!” (减少意味着做得更多,或者至少想得更多。在你追求成功和幸福的过程中,我鼓励你克服忽视减法的倾向。做减法可以令人愉快!)可知,作者在最后一段提供有价值的建议。故选B。 Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。冲突无疑是生活和友谊中常见的问题。本文就如何解决冲突提出了几条建议。 1.D 根据下文“That’s because there isn’t enough depth to guarantee all the trouble it takes to smooth over the disagreement.”可知,句中的“…there isn’t enough depth…”与D项中的shallow (肤浅的)对应,选项 D (许多肤浅的友谊在一次争吵后就被毁掉了。)符合逻辑以及语境,下文的that指代选项D提到的这件事。故选D。 2.G 根据前一句“I’ve found I need a short cooldown period so that I don’t act in anger.”可知,句中的a short cooldown period与G项中的counting to one hundred before you say anything对应, 选项G (对有些人来说,数到一百再说话可能是一种选择。)符合逻辑以及语境,故选G。 3.B 设空处为本段主旨句。根据下文“Sometimes if you sit down and talk things over,you begin to see where the other person is coming from. Realize that everyone has been created differently with various talents, abilities, and personality traits.”可知,本段建议从他人的角度来看问题。B项 (试着从他人的角度看问题。)可以作为主旨句,故选B。 4.C 根据本段主旨句“Initi ... ...
