第七页选择题部分答案解析：
D1
1. B。从第二段的“it became number nine in Apple’s app store just two hours after its release in the US”可以得此答案，instant hit的意思是“马上就火了起来”。A、C、D文中都没有提到。
2. B。从第二段的“that provides easy-to-read summaries of news stories”可以得此答案。
3. D。从第七段可以得此答案。A文中没有提到。从倒数第二段的“I get just as stressed with Summly as I did with exams”判断，D’Aloisio当时也有一定的压力，并不是had no problems，排除B。最后一段说到在大学里他想主修哲学或历史，并非Internet technology，C有误。
4. A。D’Aloisio能自己研发一种手机软件，这证明了他的creative。他有了想法，然后努力去实现梦想，这说明了他的ambitious。Devoted 投入的；cautious 小心谨慎的；responsible负责任的；passionate

充满热情的。
D2
1. B。本文的中心句是第三段的句子“But what is it about horror fiction that so appeals to young readers, and just how scary do they like it?”所以答案为B。
2. D。文章第一段谈到了惊悚小说故事在青少年中非常受欢迎，第二段第一句话进行小结，之后文章又以Darren Shan的作品为例论述这类故事的流行，所以可推断出going from strength to strength的意思是“越来越走红，不断取得成功”，所以答案为D。
3. C。由第四段第一句话“I think horror allows teenagers to focus on real-life issues in a fantastical (空想的) way”可知答案为C。D项有点迷惑性，但是根据下文“A book like this can hopefully help them prepare for when death strikes at them in real life. Good horror is always about helping us prepare for the darker aspects of life”可知，这类小说不是教会他们处理生活中已经存在的问题，而是让他们对将来生活中可能出现的一些困境有心理准备，所以不能选。
4. D。最后一段主要讲的是Darren有时候会到学校和图书馆与读者交流，了解他们对恐怖内容的接受程度，他在创作的过程中，也会站在读者的角度去审视自己作品中的情节能否让自己接受，然后基于这些，对作品的内容进行细微调整。所以只有D为正确选项。
D3

1. D。本文的中心段为“Why do we sense time so differently? To understand that we first need to look at how our brain keeps track of time.”下文进一步揭示了为什么我们在不同的情境下对时间长度的感觉不一样，所以答案为D。
2. A。由第五段的“But whenever the decrease slowed down, it corresponded with the monkey’s overestimating (高估) the length of a second, while a faster rate of decrease meant they would move their eyes before the time was up.”可知，每当这种神经元活动减少的速度较慢时，猴子相应地就会高估一秒钟的长度（一秒钟过了它们还没有转动眼睛）；然而当这种减缓速度加快时，时间还没到他们就转动眼睛了。所以A为正确答案。
3. B。根据倒数第四段的“The animals’ timing varied after these neurons were more, or less, active… It’s as if the activity of these neurons was serving as an internal (内部的) hourglass (沙漏)”可以推知B正确。由倒数第二段可知A、C是导致神经元活动速率发生改变的因素之一，而不是结果，所以不对；D项无中生有。
D4
1. A。从第三段的“I wanted to go to high school and university. I had the drive, the will, and the grades”可以得此答案。从第二段可以排除B和C项，D文中没有提到。2. C。从第五段可以得此答案。3. B。从第六段可以得此答案。4. C。第七段谈到这个教育网站的目的是通过非洲女孩的团结努力传达信息和知识，所以C正确。
