15、 working in people. One reason, of course, is that mice are not men. Another, though, might have to do with the fact that while human patients are afforded all manner of creature forts, their animal proxies （代替物）.Although medical sciences favourite creatures relish temperatures of a little over 30 ,

16、 laboratories routinely keep them at five or ten degrees below that. This is not in order to abuse the beasts but. rather, because when kept warm they are unmanageably aggressive.The downside is that they have to eat more than they otherwise would, in order to keep their bodies warm. That changes th

17、eir physiology （生理）.And that in turn changes the way they metabolise （新陈代谢）drugs, with possibly confusing results. Joseph Garner, of Stanford University , thinks the answer is to keep the labs cool, but let mice deal with the low temperatures a? they do in their natural habitat: not by eating more b

18、ut by building nests.So far, though, no one has a clear idea of how much nesting material is needed to keep mice happy. Dr Garner and his colleagues therefore decided to find out. They havejust reported their results in the Public Library of Science. Dr Gamer and his team let each of their mice , 36

19、 males and as many females from three types monly used in trials, wander free in two cages connected by a narrow tube. One cage was kept constant at one of six temperatures between 20 and 35 The other was maintained at 200 C but was supplied with up to ten grams of very small pieces of paper, which

20、the mice could use to weave a nest.The idea was to check whether the animals would rather build a nest in the cooler cage or move to the warmer one, possibly pulling nesting material along with them little by little. The researchers found that the mices preferences varied slightly between types, as

21、well as between sexes （with females fond of higher temperatures, possibly because of their thinner protective layer of fat）, confirming that there is no single set of conditions in which all mice feel cosy.In general, though, with little nesting material around, the mice laboriously carried pieces o

22、f paper over to the warmer spot, one or two at a time. But leave at least six grams of paper in the chilly cage, and many mice will prefer instead to brave the cold and build a nest there.That seems a small price to pay for better drug trials.38. What does the underlined word nrelish* in Paragraph 3

23、 probably mean?A. Resist.B. Enjoy.C. Avoid.D. Maintain.39. Mice eating more than they normally do may lead toA. better management of their behaviorB. their different body response to drugs.C. A slowdown in their metabolism.D. A confusion in their mind.40. Dr Garner and his team found thatA. mice kee

24、p warm by moving pieces of paperB. female mice better beat the cold than male miceC. mice tend to fight the cold under certain conditionsD. different types of mice prefer very different temperatures41. To have a better drug trial, researchers need to.A. provide little food B. use other animal proxie

25、sC. raise the lab temperature D. prepare enough nesting material【答案】38.B39. B 40. C 41. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了善待老鼠，它们也许会报答你的恩惠。【38题详解】词义猜测题。答案定位在第三段 Although medical science s favourite creatures relish temperatures of a little over 30, laboratories routinely keep them at five or ten degrees below

26、that.可 知虽然医学中最喜欢的生物偏爱待在稍高于30摄氏度的环境里，但它们却常被控制在比这低5到10摄氏 度的实验室中。结合句意前后形成对比，因此这种生物在30C环境下最合适。A. resist抵抗；C. avoid避 免；D.maintain维持，均不符题意，故选B。39题详解】细节理解题。答案定位在第四段 That changes their physiology （生理）.And that in turn changes the way they metabolise （新陈代谢）drugs, with possibly confusing results 可知这样动物的生理机能 就

27、会有所改变，因此会影响到药物在动物体内的代谢，结果也是混乱的。由此可知老鼠如果吃的比正常情 况下多，会导致不同的生理反应，从而影响药效，故选B。【40题详解】细节理解题。答案定位在倒数第二段 But leave a least six grams of paper in the chilly cage, and many mice will prefer instead to brave the cold and build a nest here.如果在温度较低的笼子里 放至少六克纸条，那么很多老鼠宁愿忍受寒冷，在那里筑窝，可知老鼠在特定环境下会抵抗寒冷，故选C。41题详解】推理判断题。答案

28、定位在最后一段That seems a small price to pay for better drug trials,用六克 纸条就能让药物试验有更好的效果，这似乎是个很小的代价，可知研究员应该准备足够的筑巢材料，使药 物试验效果最佳，故选D。【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路：细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-题，它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述 等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几 乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主 体展开的细节。做这类题一般采用寻读法

29、，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有 关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。例如小题3,答案定位在倒数第二段But leave a least six grams of paper in the chilly cage, and many mice will prefer instead to brave the cold and build a nest here如果在温度较低的笼子里放至少六克纸条，那么很多老鼠宁愿忍受寒冷，在 那里筑窝，可知老鼠在特定环境下会抵抗寒冷，故选C。DWhen Steve Jobs took to the stage in 20

32、g to have economic effects. When there are millions of apps available, It bees more and more difficult to charge $ 5 or $10, so over time, a dollar or two has bee the norm.

34、ouTube to open its own streaming service next year.

37、 youre into. Worse, they have a tendency to serve up disturbing content. The way forward cant simply be more or better algorithms.Instead , its time for digital panies to start thinking about how to put limits on things: on how much we can usea device, or what we have available to choose from.To be

38、sure, its the opposite of free market, which is supposed to work on offering more choice. But perhaps it isnt such an unusual reaction. Alter all, free markets are supposed to respond to consumer demand.And as we move further into the digital revolution, what people are asking for is clear: Less.42.

39、 Too much choice of content on the market results inA. the shutdown of paniesB. the anxiety of consumersC. the poor quality of productsD. the slowdown of economy43. What is mainly talked about in Paragraphs 4 and 5?A. Why content panies open their own streaming services.B. Whether content panies sho

40、uld cut their offerings.C. Where content panies should post their offerings.D. How content panies narrow the consumers* focus.44. For consumers, the algorithm will probablyA. make a better choice for them. B. help to remove disturbing contentC. fail to offer what they possibly like D. change their i

42、rge amount of choice causes pressure, pushing prices down and driving us all a bit crazy in the process. 可知，各种类型内容选择过多可能导致的后果，不仅仅是让消费者感到负担，而且会导致压力，让价格下 降，故选B。【43题详解】段落大意题。答案定位在第四段 So what is the way forward? It may well be to turn less choice itself into the marketing strategy. There are already sig

43、ns this is happening.可知,该段在阐述未来应 对的方法是什么，很可能是将较少的选择作为营销策略，并且也有迹象表明这正在发生；故选D。【44题详解】 细节理解题。答案定位在第六段But we ve seen the trouble with algorithms like those on YouTube.They feed you only what you ve already said you like, not things you may not yet know you re into.可知，运算法则造成的问题，是他们只给你提供你已经说过的你喜欢的东西，而不是你可

What is the righ

45、t way to say were sorry that doesnt merely relieve our guilt or get us out of hot water, but best serves the person we hurt? There is more to saying sorry than just saying sorry”.46 They include expressing regret, explaining what went wrong, acknowledging responsibility, offering to repair the situa

46、tion, and requesting forgiveness.That may seem like a lot to remember, but acknowledgement of responsibility turned out to be the most important piece. Of course, not all the ruined situations are created equal. 47 Here are a few key tips.Have perfect timing. Did you totally ruin the situation? A li

47、ttle cool-off time could help. 48 .But if the other party is angry at your wrong doing, it may be more effective to wait because their anger may prevent them from being receptive to an apology. Waiting can help you too. The best time to apologize is when one feels ready to sincerely apologize.49 Exp

48、erts agree that face-to-face apologies beat phoned-in, e-mailed, or handwritten ones. Facial expressions, gestures, and the tone of voice have all been shown to be important channels that convey sincerity. Anyone can type I feel really ashamed,* but if you say it live, its obvious whether or not you mean it.Explain; dont excuse. Because admitting to being wrong is painful and can make people worried that theyre a bad person, they often water down their apology with excuses. Examples include n I certainly apologize if I offended anyone and Im sorry, but you started it
