第15題答案：vi

對應原文：B段：Thomas Goetz and his team … have recently identified five distinct types: indifferent, calibrating, searching, reactant and apathetic.

答案解析：B段開頭就提到Thomas Goetz和他的團隊界定出五種不同的厭煩類型。對應vi選項中creating a system of classification，由此確定答案。

第16題答案：i

對應原文：C段：Mann has found that being bored makes us more creative

答案解析：C段開頭第二句提到，Mann發(fā)現(xiàn)，處于厭煩的狀態(tài)可以讓我們變得更加有創(chuàng)造力。其中creative與productive對應，result from與makes對應，由此確定i為答案。

第17題答案：v

對應原文：D段：if they are not successful there’s that frustration and irritability … repeatedly failing to engage attention can lead to a state where we don’t know what to do any more, and no longer care.

答案解析：D段引用John Eastwood的觀點，說明厭煩情緒所帶來的不好影響，比如它會造成沮喪和易怒，還可能造成不知道做什么，不再關(guān)心其他事物。對應v選項中的potential danger，由此確定v為答案。

第18題答案：viii

對應原文：E段：they think that at least some of it comes down to personality.

答案解析：E段主要介紹性格與厭煩之間的聯(lián)系，指出一些人更加容易厭煩，而其他人則不那么容易。對應viii選項中“those most affected by boredom”，由此確定答案。

第19題答案：iii

對應原文：F段：our over-connected lifestyles might even be a new source of boredom … perhaps we should leave our phones alone, and use boredom to motivate us to engage with the world in a more meaningful way.

答案解析：F段比較簡短，很容易總結(jié)出其大致的含義。前半段指出過度聯(lián)系的生活方式是厭煩的新來源，對應iii選項的new explaination。后半段指出我們可以放下手機，利用厭煩來驅(qū)動我們投身世界，對應iii選項的new cure，由此確定答案。

第20題答案：E

對應原文：A段：Peter Toohey compares it to disgust – an emotion that motivates us to stay away from certain situations. ‘If disgust protects humans from infection, boredom may protect them from “infectious” social situations,’ he suggests.

答案解析：根據(jù)人名定位到A段的這句話。E選項中encourage與motivate同義替換，avoid與stay away同義替換，unpleansant experience與infectious social situations對應，由此確定答案為E。

第21題答案：B

對應原文：B段：Of the five types, the most damaging is ‘reactant’ boredom with its explosive combination of high arousal and negative emotion.

答案解析：根據(jù)人名定位到B段，但這段話的內(nèi)容較多，需要我們具備一定的耐心，才能從選項中找到答案。在瀏覽了大半段話之后，發(fā)現(xiàn)reactant boredom對應B選項中的one sort of boredom，most damaging對應 worse，由此確定答案。

第22題答案：D

對應原文：D段：What’s more, your efforts to improve the situation can end up making you feel worse.

對應原文：F段：Psychologist Francoise Wemelsfelder Speculates that our over-connected lifestyles might even be a new source of boredom.

答案解析：根據(jù)人名定位到F段，選項A中the way we live對應lifestyles，encourage對應a new source，由此確定答案。

第24題答案：focus

對應原文：D段：For Eastwood, the central feature of boredom is a failure to put our ‘a(chǎn)ttention system’ into gear. This causes an inability to focus on anything

第25題答案：pleasure

對應原文：E段：People who are motivated by pleasure seem to suffer particularly badly.

答案解析：從題干可以推測空應該填某一類人，因此將目光移向E段。have problems與suffer同義替換，再加上空上應該填一個名詞，由此確定答案為pleasure。

第26題答案：curiosity

對應原文：E段：Other personality traits, such as curiosity, are associated with a high boredom threshold.
