The underlined word “wavered” most probably means ______.
A. acted firmly
B. hesitated
C. opened quickly
D. jumped excitedly
【答案】B
【解析】原文中作者在拆包裹时“kept questioning whether ordering this miniskirt had been silly”（不断质疑买这条迷你裙是否很傻），内心还有一个声音问“Are you out of your mind ”（你疯了吗？）。这些描写说明她当时内心不确定、反复犹豫，因此“wavered”在此意为“犹豫不决”，故选 B。

Most modern smart rings monitor sleep, activity, and heart rate using lighter and less uncomfortable hardware. They also last longer on a single charge and provide more accurate readings, which is credited to the fact that finger skin is thinner than wrist skin, thus enabling more efficient data capture by the sensors.
The underlined phrase “is credited to” most probably means ______.
A. is attributed to
B. is stored in
C. is blamed on
D. is added to
【答案】A
【解析】原文说智能戒指“provide more accurate readings”（提供更准确的读数），然后用“which is credited to the fact that finger skin is thinner than wrist skin”来解释原因——手指皮肤比手腕皮肤更薄。可见“is credited to”连接的是结果与原因，表示“被归因于”，故选 A。

The findings were surprising. First, participants were only in a worse mood when they acknowledged feeling hungry, rather than simply when they had lower blood sugar levels. Second, the study highlighted the critical role of a psychological concept called “interoception” – the brain’s ability to perceive internal physical sensations.
The underlined word “interoception” most probably means ______.
A. external perception
B. emotional control
C. the ability to sense internal body signals
D. blood sugar regulation
【答案】C
【解析】原文在“interoception”后面直接用破折号引出定义：“the brain’s ability to perceive internal physical sensations”（大脑感知内部身体感觉的能力）。因此该词意思就是“感知内部身体信号的能力”，故选 C。

Cui’s dedication began in high school through volunteer work, leading her to study special education. Her travels with physically-challenged friends during university revealed how everyday obstacles like small steps became significant barriers. This inspired her long-term goal of an accessible hotel.

The underlined word “inclusive” most probably means ______.
A. expensive
B. exclusive
C. welcoming to all, especially the disabled
D. temporary

A. producing the desired result
B. having the opposite effect to what was intended

Until now, research into cognitive biases and genetics has been entirely separate, so bringing them together in this research is really exciting.

But the new research finds that, in certain situations, those genes can also be a real benefit to people when they’re in supportive environments.
The underlined phrase “cognitive biases” most probably means ______.
A. genetic defects
B. mental shortcuts or systematic thinking errors
C. physical illnesses
D. learning disabilities
【答案】B

Students were randomly divided into two groups: one received two 25-minute lessons on the brain’s adaptability, while the control group learned about the brain without mentioning growth. Notably, the researchers assessed the teachers’ mindset as well. Statistical analysis showed the intervention significantly boosted students’ math grades, 0.11 points higher on a 4-point scale only when the teachers also had a growth mindset. When students had a teacher with a fixed mindset about learning, though, the growth mindset intervention had no reliable influence.
The underlined word “reliable” most probably means ______.
A. dependable or consistent
B. large and obvious
C. quick and immediate
D. negative and harmful
【答案】A
