(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上文“Doodling can increase creativity by increasing your engagement with the world and attention span.”涂鸦可以通过增加你与世界的接触和注意的广度来提高创造力。G项“它可以帮助你专注于那些一不注意就容易走神的活动。”中it代指Doodling,进一步说明涂鸦的好处。本句主题句是“在业余时间涂鸦”,所以接下来介绍涂鸦的好处顺利成章。故选G。

(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下文“Interactive games that require movement help with creative thinking as they stimulate multiple senses.”需要运动的互动游戏有助于创造性思维,因为它们刺激多种感官。故C项“一些视频游戏其实有益于创意性灵感”符合语境。下文对上文做出了进一步的解释。故选C。
(5)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据本段主题句“ Read more. ”。A项“试着加入读书俱乐部”与读书有关,加入读书俱乐部可以帮助你多读书。故选A。

【题目】My husband and I had been married nearly twenty-two years when I acquired Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a disorder where my immune system (免疫系统) responded to a virus by producing painful blisters (水疱). Although my long-term evaluation was good, I, who had been so fiercely independent, rapidly became absolutely helpless.

My husband, Scott, stepped up to the plate, taking care of kids and cooking dinners. He also became my personal caretaker, applying the medicine to all of my blisters because my hands couldn’t do the job. Needless to say, I had negative emotions, bouncing from embarrassment to shame caused by total reliance on someone other than myself.

At one point when I had mentally and physically hit bottoms I remember thinking that Scott must somehow love me more than I could ever love him. With my illness, he had become the stronger one, and I the weaker one. And this disturbed me.

I recovered from my illness, but I couldn’t seem to recover from the thought that I loved my husband less than he loved me. This seeming distinction in our love continued to annoy me for the year following my illness.

Then recently Scott and I went on a long bike ride. He’s an experienced cyclist; I’m quite the green hand. At one point with a strong headwind and sharp pain building in my tired legs, I really thought I couldn’t go any further. Seeing me struggle, Scott pulled in front of me and yelled over his shoulder, “Stay close behind me.” As I fell into the draft of his six- foot- three- inch frame and followed his steps, I discovered that my legs quit burning and I was able to catch my breath. My husband was pulling me along again. At this very moment I woke up to what I now believe: during these and other tough times, love has the opportunity to become stronger when one partner learns to lean on the other.

I pray my husband will always be strong and healthy. But if he should ever become the struggling one, whether on a bike ride or with an illness, I trust I’ll be ready to call out to him: Stay close behind me-my turn to pull you along.
