二、七选五
Mind-wandering can help boost our mood
Prior research suggests a wandering mind is an unhappy mind: We tend to be less happy when we're not focused on what we're doing. That's likely true. _____1_____ For example, as one 2013 study showed, when people found their wandering thoughts more interesting, their moods actually improved while mind-wandering. Similarly, other studies have found that thinking about people you love or thinking more about your potential future than about what happened in the past produces positive results.
How you use mind-wandering may also be important. ___2___ It has been mostly unexplored in previous research, but likely has distinct effects. As one 2017 study found, people who use daydreaming for self-reflection typically have more pleasant thoughts than people who simply think about unpleasant experiences.
There is even some evidence that mind-wandering may be more of an antidote (缓解方法) to depression than a cause. People who are depressed may simply replay events from their past to better understand what happened to cause their dark mood and avoid future problems. Also, when researchers studied whether a negative mood preceded or allowed a mind-wandering episode, they found poor moods led to more mind-wandering but not vice versa. _____3_____
Now, findings from a 2021 study suggest that mind-wandering that is more freely moving can actually improve your mood. In this study, participants were prompted randomly via cell phone over three days to report how they were feeling and how much their thoughts were freely moving and related to what they were doing. After analyzing the data, the researchers found that when people's thoughts were of-task, they generally felt more negative—similar to what earlier findings showed. _____4_____“Our findings suggest there might be positive aspects of mind-wandering," the researchers conclude.
____5____ If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I'm happier because of it.
A. In some cases, people intentionally mind-wander.
B. Mind-wandering is part of our human inheritance.
C. Again, I find that science supports my own experience.
D. There may be a right and a wrong way to mind-wander.
E. But if their thoughts were free-moving, it had the opposite effect.
F. In fact, the content of wandering thoughts makes a big difference.
G. It suggests that mind-wandering may be helping people feel better.

本文是说明文。主要介绍了自由的神游可能有助于提高我们的情绪。
51.
上文“Prior research suggests a wandering mind is an unhappy mind: We tend to be less happy when we're not focused on what we're doing. ( 之前的研究表明，走神的人往往不开心:当我们不专注于我们正在做的事情时，我们往往会不开心。)”说明以前的研究表明走神的人们不开心，下文“For example, as one 2013 study showed, when people found their wandering thoughts more interesting, their moods actually improved while mind-wandering. Similarly, other studies have found that thinking about people you love or thinking more about your potential future than about what happened in the past produces positive results.( 例如，2013年的一项研究表明，当人们发现自己的神游的想法更有趣时，他们的情绪实际上在走神时得到了改善。类似地，其他研究也发现，多想想你爱的人，或者多想想自己潜在的未来，而不是想着过去发生的事情，会产生积极的结果。)”与上文内容是转折关系，因此推断空格与上文是转折关系，F项“其实，神游的想法的内容起很大作用。”说明神游的内容起大作用，与上文是转折关系，下文对这种说法加以解释。故选F。
52.
下文“As one 2017 study found, people who use daydreaming for self-reflection typically have more pleasant thoughts than people who simply think about unpleasant experiences.( 2017年的一项研究发现，通过白日梦进行自我反省的人通常比那些只想到不愉快经历的人有更多愉快的想法。)”说明人们通过白日梦自我反思会有更多愉快的想法。因此推断人们有时候故意神游。A项“在某些情况下，人们会故意神游。”符合语境。故选A。
53.
上文“Also, when researchers studied whether a negative mood preceded or allowed a mind-wandering episode, they found poor moods led to more mind-wandering but not vice versa.(此外，当研究人员研究消极情绪是否会导致或允许走神时，他们发现，糟糕的情绪会导致更多的走神，但反之则不成立。)”说明糟糕的情绪会导致走神，走神不会导致糟糕的情绪，反而会让情绪变好，因此推断G项“它表明神游可能会帮助人们感觉更好。”符合语境，it指代上文内容。故选G。
54.
上文“After analyzing the data, the researchers found that when people's thoughts were of-task, they generally felt more negative—similar to what earlier findings showed.( 分析数据后，研究人员发现，当人们的想法是关于工作时，他们通常会感到更消极——这与之前的研究结果类似。)”说明人们在思考工作时，通常会消极，下文“‘Our findings suggest there might be positive aspects of mind-wandering,’ the researchers conclude.( 我们的发现表明神游可能有积极的一面，”研究人员总结道。)”说明神游的积极的一面，因此推断空格处与上文是转折关系，与下文是并列关系，E项中的But是提示词，E项“但如果他们的思想是自由移动的，那就会产生相反的效果。”与上文内容是转折的， E项的opposite effect与下文的positive是一致的。故选E。
55.
下文“If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I'm happier because of it.( 如果我只是把自己放在一个空间里，让我的思想自由移动，我不会感到沮丧。恰恰相反，我因此更快乐。)”讲述作者自己的体验，思想自由移动时会更快乐，这与上文的科学研究“Now, findings from a 2021 study suggest that mind-wandering that is more freely moving can actually improve your mood. (现在，2021年的一项研究表明，更自由移动的神游实际上可以改善你的情绪。)”是一致的，因此推断C项“再一次，我发现科学支持了我自己的经验”符合语境。故选C。
