答案解析：A段第2句提到：給“厭煩”下定義以便它能夠在實(shí)驗(yàn)室中接受研究十分困難。其中sudied in the lab與scientific approach同意替換，difficult與problems同義替換，由此確定iv選項(xiàng)為答案。

第15題答案：vi

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：B段：Thomas Goetz and his team … have recently identified five distinct types: indifferent, calibrating, searching, reactant and apathetic.

第16題答案：i

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：C段：Mann has found that being bored makes us more creative

答案解析：C段開(kāi)頭第二句提到，Mann發(fā)現(xiàn)，處于厭煩的狀態(tài)可以讓我們變得更加有創(chuàng)造力。其中creative與productive對(duì)應(yīng)，result from與makes對(duì)應(yīng)，由此確定i為答案。

第17題答案：v

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：D段：if they are not successful there’s that frustration and irritability … repeatedly failing to engage attention can lead to a state where we don’t know what to do any more, and no longer care.

答案解析：D段引用John Eastwood的觀點(diǎn)，說(shuō)明厭煩情緒所帶來(lái)的不好影響，比如它會(huì)造成沮喪和易怒，還可能造成不知道做什么，不再關(guān)心其他事物。對(duì)應(yīng)v選項(xiàng)中的potential danger，由此確定v為答案。

第18題答案：viii

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：E段：they think that at least some of it comes down to personality.

答案解析：E段主要介紹性格與厭煩之間的聯(lián)系，指出一些人更加容易厭煩，而其他人則不那么容易。對(duì)應(yīng)viii選項(xiàng)中“those most affected by boredom”，由此確定答案。

第19題答案：iii

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：F段：our over-connected lifestyles might even be a new source of boredom … perhaps we should leave our phones alone, and use boredom to motivate us to engage with the world in a more meaningful way.

答案解析：F段比較簡(jiǎn)短，很容易總結(jié)出其大致的含義。前半段指出過(guò)度聯(lián)系的生活方式是厭煩的新來(lái)源，對(duì)應(yīng)iii選項(xiàng)的new explaination。后半段指出我們可以放下手機(jī)，利用厭煩來(lái)驅(qū)動(dòng)我們投身世界，對(duì)應(yīng)iii選項(xiàng)的new cure，由此確定答案。

第20題答案：E

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：A段：Peter Toohey compares it to disgust – an emotion that motivates us to stay away from certain situations. ‘If disgust protects humans from infection, boredom may protect them from “infectious” social situations,’ he suggests.

第21題答案：B

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：B段：Of the five types, the most damaging is ‘reactant’ boredom with its explosive combination of high arousal and negative emotion.

答案解析：根據(jù)人名定位到B段，但這段話(huà)的內(nèi)容較多，需要我們具備一定的耐心，才能從選項(xiàng)中找到答案。在瀏覽了大半段話(huà)之后，發(fā)現(xiàn)reactant boredom對(duì)應(yīng)B選項(xiàng)中的one sort of boredom，most damaging對(duì)應(yīng) worse，由此確定答案。

第24題答案：focus

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：D段：For Eastwood, the central feature of boredom is a failure to put our ‘a(chǎn)ttention system’ into gear. This causes an inability to focus on anything

答案解析：根據(jù)人名和attention system定位到D段的這句話(huà)，從題干中可以推測(cè)空上應(yīng)該填一個(gè)動(dòng)詞。cannot與inability同義替換，由此確定答案。

對(duì)應(yīng)原文：E段：People who are motivated by pleasure seem to suffer particularly badly.
