Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 2 As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring persons survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 3 No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 4 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. 5 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure bees active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear bees active.As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, well continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A. It all depends on your character.B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文,作者讲的是有关冒险的科学的探索方面的内容。1.F 【解析】选项F中的weigh risks and rewards与上文的weigh the risk and the reward相呼应,故F项符合语境。2.C 【解析】选项C中的Being better at those things与上文的were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring相呼应,因此选C。3.A 【解析】前文说人们有各种不同的性格,因此你可能喜欢赛车,或者讨厌赛车,故A项这完全是由你的性格决定的符合语境。4.E 【解析】根据上文的your willingness.teenage years及下文的hunger for new experiences.可知E项符合语境。5.G 【解析】根据空后的For the risk-seekers.bees active可知,此处讲的是面对紧张的局面时我们的大脑会有不同的反应,故G项符合语境。四、短文改错Boys and girls,May I have your fully attention, please?
