答案与解析

【语篇解读】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个名叫吴晓天的32岁男子，他患有顽固性抑郁症，治疗了16年仍不见效。但在植入脑机接口装置后，他的症状开始改善。

【答案解析】

1. B 根据上文的“Wu Xiaotian, aged 32, had been dealing with depression that didn’t respond to treatment for 16 years.”可知，吴晓天患抑郁症16年了，还没有治好。所以此处指他尝试了各种疗法，但抑郁症仍然困扰着他。happiness意为“幸福”；depression意为“抑郁（症）”；excitement意为“兴奋”；calmness意为“镇静”。故选B。

2. C 根据第二段的“he woke up feeling a glimmer of optimism”可知，他的抑郁症状开始改善。worsen意为“恶化”；stabilize意为“稳定”；improve意为“改善”；develop意为“发展”。故选C。

3. D 根据第一段的“he had a brain-computer interface (BCI) device implanted”可知，他接受了脑机接口装置的植入，所以此处是指BCI创立了人脑与外部装置的直接连接。organ意为“器官”；technology意为“技术”；electronics意为“电子器件”；device意为“装置，设备”。故选D。

4. A 上文提到他在植入脑机接口（BCI）装置后，症状开始改善，由此可知，BCI给他带来了一点儿希望。hope意为“希望”；stress意为“压力”；fear意为“害怕”；anger意为“生气”。故选A。

5. B 根据设空处前的“However”和第三段的“each patient needs regular adjustments to find the best approach”以及常识可知，手术后是有恢复期的，所以此处是说康复不是一蹴而就的。attack意为“发作，侵袭”；recovery意为“康复”；suffering意为“痛苦”；damage意为“损失”。故选B。

6. A 根据设空处后的“each patient needs regular adjustments”及常识可知，每个人的情况不同，所以每个患者需要进行定期调整以找到最好的治疗方法。故选A。

7. D 根据下文的“like feeling cheated by a friend…of winning a big prize”可知，在这种情况下，吴晓天会经历不寻常的情绪波动，比如感觉自己在医院就诊时被朋友欺骗了或者感受到中了大奖的喜悦。故选D。

8. C 根据设空处后的“winning a big prize”及常识可知，人们在获得大奖时会感到高兴。sadness意为“悲伤”；boredom意为“厌烦，无聊”；joy意为“高兴”；terror意为“惊恐”。故选C。

9. C 根据第三段中的“Wu didn’t feel well in the ‘work mode’ and worried that the ‘black dog’ had returned.”可知，吴在工作模式中感觉不舒服；根据设空前的“they settled on a daytime ‘work’ mode and a night-time ‘rest’ mode”可知，吴选定白天工作晚上休息的模式。由此可知，空处是说，目前，吴是组中唯一可以独立切换白天工作和晚上休息这一模式的患者。judge意为“评判；评价”；select意为“选择，挑选”；switch意为“转换；转变”；clarify意为“澄清，阐明”。故选C。

10. B 根据下文的“Wu can’t explain the reason…it was just a sudden surge of emotion”可知，吴晓天无法清楚地阐述原因，那只是一种突如其来的情绪波动。所以此处是说发现最佳设置感觉就像是突然领悟了。operation意为“运作”；realization意为“领悟”；invention意为“发明”；creation意为“创造，作品”。故选B。

11. A 根据下文的“it was just a sudden surge of emotion”可知，此处说的是一种不受控制的自发情绪，吴晓天无法说清原因。motivation意为“动机，原因”；outcome意为“结果”；story意为“故事”；possibility意为“可能性”。故选A。

12. C 根据上文的“it was just a sudden surge of emotion”可知，此处说的是这种突如其来的情绪波动是他以前从未经历过的。forget意为“忘记”；imagine意为“想象”；experience意为“经历”；learn意为“学习”。故选C。

13. A 根据下文的“he held on to hope”可知，此处是说尽管痛苦和绝望，但他仍抱有希望。in spite of意为“尽管”；on account of意为“因为”；according to意为“根据”；thanks to意为“由于，多亏”。故选A。

14. B 根据上文的“he held on to hope”和下文的“normal life”可知，他仍抱有希望，所以此处是说他渴望回归正常生活。此处考查熟词生义，long原本用作形容词，意为“长的”，此处用作动词，意为“渴望”。故选B。

15. D 根据下文的“he feels healthier and more energetic”可知，他身体上没有出现任何副作用。benefit意为“益处”；comfort意为“舒适的设施（或条件）”；difficulty意为“困难”；side effect意为“副作用”。故选D。
