[推理判断题。根据Reddit.com中“Foundedin2005,Reddit.comisasocialnewsandentertainmentwebsite.Registeredusersputfunnycontentintheformofthevideolinkortextsonthewebsite.”和Theonion.com中“Firstappearingasasatiricalnewspaperin1988,Theonion.comhashundredofvideosandarticlesonnewsandcurrentaffairs,”可知,Reddit.com和Theonion.com的共同之处是它们都含有有趣的视频。故选A。]4.C [细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知乌鸦可以存储和找出所用的工具。故选C。]5.B [细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Inanotherexperiment,theresearcherstaughtcrowstoselectatoken(礼品券)fromanumberofitemssothattheycouldthenexchangeforfood.”可知,科学家们训练乌鸦用礼品劵来交换食物。故选B。]6.A [推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Thesestudieshaveshownthatanimalscanplanforthefuture—buttheyleftanimportantquestionopenfordebate.”可知科学家们对动物可以为未来计划的研究是有争议的。故选A。]7.B [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Weneedtoinvestigatehowflexiblebehaviourevolved.”可知,动物是怎样进化的还不清楚。故选B。]语篇解读 一位演员为了生活自创了一份新的工作——peoplewalking,就是陪人们散步、遛弯。他表示很喜欢这项工作,但同时也希望尽快回归演艺生涯。8.B [词义猜测题。根据文章第一段中的“AyoungLosAngelesactorinneedofasecondjobtopayhisbills”可知,这位演员需要第二份工作来支付他的账单,所以他想出了一个方法来增加他的收入。故选B。]9.C [细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Chuck’sservicesareaimedatpeoplewhoneedamotivationalboosttogowalking,thosewhodon’tfeelsafewalkingaloneinsomeareas,andthosewhoareafraidthatpeoplemightseethemwalkingbythemselvesandthinkthattheyhavenofriends.”可知,peoplewalk可以提供的帮助是使顾客精神振奋、陪伴他们、给予安全感,但没有提及给顾客买食物。故选C。]10.A

[推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,Chuck做peoplewalker可以支付他的账单,而做艺人则不能支付得起,所以推测他做peoplewalker应该比做艺人挣得多。故选D。]Ⅱ.语篇解读 人人都会抱怨。即使你说你是世界上最幸福的人,你有时也会抱怨。本文提供了一些如何停止抱怨、放弃消极想法的建议。12.F [根据空格前“butrarelyisiteverhelpful.(但是抱怨很少有用)”以及后面的“Herearesometipstostopcomplainingandgiveupthenegativethoughts:”可知过渡句应该是如何设法使自己停止抱怨。故选F。]13.A [根据下文的“Whenyoufindyourselfthinkingorsayinganegativecommentaboutsomethingorsomeone,stopandforceyourselftosaysomethingpositiveinstead.”可知,当你有消极想法时,强迫自己说积极的话语。这是一种思维的改变,故A项与此处吻合。]14.G [小标题指出“Makealistofthingswearegratefulfor.(列举出我们感激的事情)”,G项提到写下我们感激的事情,然后我们就会明白自己没理由抱怨了。承接上文,故选G项。]15.E [根据空格前的“Therearemanythingswecan’tchange.(有很多事情我们不能改变)”可知,既然不能改变,就接受它。与E项(唯一也是最好的事情是去接受它们)吻合。]16.D [根据空格后的“Maybeitistimetomaketheharddecisiontomoveontoanotherjoborcareer.(也许是时候作出艰难的决定换工作或职业了)”可知,在你总是抱怨工作时,要考虑换份工作。故选D。]
