For authors of self-help guides, no human problem is too great or too small. Want to become fitter, richer or happier in 2015? There are books for it—【C1】______upon shelves of them. Hoping for increased efficiency, decisiveness and creativity in the months ahead? There are titles for that, too.
As we settle down to our New Year’s【C2】______, we’ll turn in droves to self-help books, hoping to find our own best selves in their pages. But a book needn’t lecture to leave its imprint. The truth is that all good literature changes us, and a growing body of research suggests you might do better browsing through fiction for support in【C3】______life’s challenges. Think of it less as self-help than "shelf help".
Reading has been proven to sharpen【C4】______thinking, enabling us to better discern patterns—a handy tool when it comes to the often baffling behaviour of ourselves and others. But fiction in particular can make you more socially able. Last year, the Journal of Applied Social Psychology published a paper showing how reading Harry Potter made young people in the U. K. and Italy more【C5】______disposed towards stigmatised (使蒙上污名的) minorities such as【C6】______. And in 2013, psychologists at the New School for Social Research found that literary fiction enhanced people’s ability to【C7】______and read others’ emotions.
We think of novels as places in which to lose ourselves, but when we【C8】______, we take with us inspiration from our favourite characters. A 2012 study by researchers at Ohio State University found that this process could actually change a reader’s behaviour. In one experiment, participants strongly identifying with a【C9】______character who overcame obstacles to vote proved significantly more likely to vote in a real election.
They may not promise transformation in seven easy steps, but gripping novels can inform and motivate, short stories can console and trigger self-reflection, and poetry has been shown to engage parts of the brain linked to memory. Sometimes an author helps by simply taking your mind off a problem,【C10】______you so fully in another’s world and outlook that you transcend yourself, returning recharged and determined.
A) positively I) accepting
B) books J) refugees
C) battling K) analytical
D) fictional L) emerge
E) register M) concretely
F) immersing N) shelves
G) critical O) express
H) resolutions [br] 【C7】
选项
答案
E
解析
空格位于to之后,并与后面的read形成并列关系,因此推断应填入动词原形。根据句意,2013年,心理学家在新学院大学的研究中发现,文学小说能够增强人们——并读懂他人情感的能力。动词备选项中首先排除非原形的F)immersing“沉浸于”和I)accepting“接受”;因此答案应在E)register“登记,记住,使留下印象”,L)emerge“出现,摆脱出来”和O)express“表达”这三个选项中,动作的对象是others’emotion,读者显然不能express他人的情感;emerge的意思也不符合语境,因此均可排除;而register有“登记,记住,使留下印象”的意思,因此为正确答案。
