【标准答案】
1．[C]despite?? 从后面一个句子中的little我们可以判断出这里的转折意为，因而本题选择despite；
2．[D]produce?? 此处前一个词does表示强调，根据上下文课意思可判断选项；
3．[B]boosting? boost意思是促进增进、stabilize意思是稳定、impair是减少削弱、determine意思是决定。因而可以判断选boost；
4．[B]sustain?? 本题全凭词义选择：transmit 意思是传输；sustain，维持；evaluate，评估；obrve，观察。
5．[A]measurable? 本题一样是词义考察：measurable，可评估的；manageable，可掌握的；affordable，可承受的；renewable，可更新的。
6．[B]In fact?? 从后一句中的Instead 可以看出此处有意群的转换，因而选择了"In fact"，实际上……起到承前启后的作用。
7．[A]opposite?? 从前一句的 instead of 得知此处句意发生转折，因而选择opposite
8．[D]relaxes?? 从后一句"decreasing muscle tone"，减少肌肉张力，可判断此处应选择relaxes，放松。
9．[C]moderate? 也是从上一句的句意“放松肌肉、减少肌肉张力”可看出此处的意思应该相同，因而选择"moderate"，稳定、减轻。
10．[A]physical? 还是词义考察，同学们可以从这道题看出出题老师对形近字、意近字有多爱了吧…… physical，身体上的；mental，精神上的（这是一对，一定要记住！）；subconscious，潜意识的；internal，内在的。
小编分享一个做题的“非官方方法”给大家：当选项中出现明显的成对、或反义词时，那么答案多半在其中。也就是我们可以从做一个四选一的题，变成做二选一的题。那就算是猜、正确率也有50%了吧！？
11．[B]According to??? 后一句提到"one classical theory of emotion"，一个经典情感理论，说明是距离。所以此处连接词选择"According to"。
12．[C]in?? 这题的考点是介词和动词的搭配，如果你明白前一个root是“根、扎根”的意思，那么基本可以排除选项中的with，那到底是on, at 或是 in，就看日常积累了。
13．[D]becau? 这整句的意思是：“在19世纪末期有这样的争论：人们不是因为悲伤而哭
泣，而是因为当流泪时会变得悲伤。” 因而此处选择表示因果关系的becau。其他的until，直到；unless，除非；if，如果，都不符合。
14．[C]precedes?? 词义又来：exhaust，精疲力尽；follow，跟随；precede，在……之前；suppress，抑制。
15．[B]from? 从动词flow，流动，来判断。
