【3】B

【4】E

【5】G

【解析】

【1】下文提示“通過(guò)學(xué)習(xí)心理學(xué)，我將學(xué)習(xí)如何以及為什么我認(rèn)為這是我的思維方式。”承接下文，F項(xiàng)I often wonder why I like the items, subjects, and activities that I do.“我經(jīng)常想知道為什么我喜歡我所做的項(xiàng)目、主題和活動(dòng)。”切題。上下文的關(guān)鍵詞why。

【2】上文提示“這對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)很重要，因?yàn)槲蚁胫�道我的撫養(yǎng)或我從父母那里獲得的基因是否會(huì)影響我。”承接上文，A項(xiàng) If I had to predict, I would say a mix of both.“如果我必須預(yù)測(cè)，我會(huì)說(shuō)兩者兼而有之。”切題。該項(xiàng)是if引導(dǎo)的虛擬語(yǔ)氣，a mix of both與上文的parents influence me相吻合。

【3】上文提示“世界各地的人都是不同的。”承接上文，B項(xiàng)But there are similarities between them.“但是他們之間有很多相似”切題。該項(xiàng)中的but表示轉(zhuǎn)折，把該項(xiàng)中的similarities和上文的different連在一起。

【4】下文提示“了解他們的想法將有助于做出重大的市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷(xiāo)和促銷(xiāo)決策。”承接下文，E項(xiàng) It is vital to know what consumers want and need.“了解消費(fèi)者的需求和需求是至關(guān)重要的。”切題。該項(xiàng)與下文構(gòu)成了因果關(guān)系。

【5】上文提到“我知道我在這門(mén)課上所做的努力會(huì)讓我以后的生活受益。當(dāng)然，學(xué)習(xí)這門(mén)課程有時(shí)會(huì)很有挑戰(zhàn)性。”承接上文，G項(xiàng)However, what I learn will influence my future decisions and goals.“然而，我所學(xué)到的東西將會(huì)影響我未來(lái)的決定和目標(biāo)。”切題。該項(xiàng)中的However“然而”在文中起著承上啟下的作用，“雖然有挑戰(zhàn)，然而對(duì)未來(lái)有影響”。
