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 becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes 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.【語篇解讀】這是一篇說明文，作者講的是有關(guān)冒險的科學(xué)的探索方面的內(nèi)容。1.F 【解析】選項F中的weigh risks and rewards與上文的weigh the risk and the reward相呼應(yīng)，故F項符合語境。2.C 【解析】選項C中的Being better at those things與上文的were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring相呼應(yīng)，因此選C。3.A 【解析】前文說人們有各種不同的性格，因此你可能喜歡賽車，或者討厭賽車，故A項這完全是由你的性格決定的符合語境。4.E 【解析】根據(jù)上文的your willingness.teenage years及下文的hunger for new experiences.可知E項符合語境。5.G 【解析】根據(jù)空后的For the risk-seekers.becomes active可知，此處講的是面對緊張的局面時我們的大腦會有不同的反應(yīng)，故G項符合語境。四、短文改錯Boys and girls，May I have your fully attention, please?
