题目:

正确答案: D
题目分析:本题是雅思阅读考试中的典型题型,题目中的选项和原文分别由对应关系。其中最具有迷惑性的是C选项,选项中的内容The effects of emotion on the imagination and the unconscious 基本为原文原词,这会让很多同学与原文中的describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious on learning.混淆,误以为这两个句子表达的是同样的意思。
题目中的句子是emotion on the imagination and the unconscious,而原文是effects of emotion, imagination and the unconscious。原文的句子中emotion, imagination and the unconscious这三个词是并列的,而在题目中则不是。
A选项里的The power of suggestion是原文内容,也具有较大的迷惑性,但是纵观全文会发现A选项中的in learning 在原文中是没有提到的,属于推断内容。B选项内容属于原文中完全没有提及,这样的选项属于难度较低的选项,针对的是基础较差的学生。
D选项为正确选项,选项中的 not traditional对应原文中的radical new 这两个选项虽然使用的单词完全不一样,但是表达的意思却是相同的。
In general, it is plausible to suppose that we should prefer peace and quiet to noise. And yet most of us have had the experience of having to adjust to sleeping in the mountains or the countryside because it was initially 'too quiet', an experience that suggests that humans are capable of adapting to a wide range of noise levels.
