根据上下句之间的因果关系可知此处意为“于是(so)在上大学时她选择了这些专业”。3.A.usualB.finalC.firstD.past解析:选B usual意为“通常的;平常的”;final意为“最后的;最终的”;first意为“最初的”;past意为“过去的”。根据后文第9空前的“myfourthyearatschool”可知她现在是在大学的第四年,也就是最后一年:finalyear,故B项正确。4.A.routineB.warningC.pressureD.complaint解析:选C

推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Althoughtheratswerenewborns,theresearchersdiscoveredthattheirheaddirectioncells...werefullygrownanddeveloped.”和第五段中的“thetwoothercells—placeandgridcells—developedwithinthefirstmonth”可知,位置和网格细胞的生长迟于头向细胞的生长。3.Whyaresomepeoplesogoodatgettinglost?A.Theycan’trememberlandmarks.B.Theirgridcellscan’tworkverywell.C.Theyareunfamiliarwithnewplaces.D.Theirabilitytofollowdirectionsispoor.解析:选B

主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了为什么人类辨别方向的能力有所不同。加餐练(二)

句型“sb.wasabouttodosth.when...”表示“某人正要做某事,这时……”。6.a “a+序数词”表示“又;再;还”。7.with withthewatchinhishand是“with+复合宾语”结构,在句中作状语。8.surprised surprisedbuthappy为形容词作状语。9.sit 本空考查donothingbutdo的用法。10.better
