参考解析

解析:此处考查对固定搭配的掌握情况,只有account能与for搭配,意为“解释”, 其他三个选项的词都是及物动词,不与介词搭配。
分析全句,此处应填一个宾语从句的引导词,从句中缺少宾语,故应填 what,此句意为“去了解他们所感兴趣的东西”,其他三个选项均为关系副词,不能充当从句中的宾语。
此处选even加强语气,“事实上,电脑甚至都没有兴趣”。
computer program是常见搭配,意为“电脑程序”,其他选项与句意不符,故排除。
make sense是固定搭配,意思是“有道理,合理,能被理解”。整句的意思为 “当然人也有目标,但这些目标若被归在电脑身上便不合逻辑了”。
in order to是固定搭配,表示目的,意为“为了……”,故选C。
结合上下文我们得知,此处应填具有“寻找”含义的词,watch没有此含义,首先被排除,C选项后若加上for便符合文意,search有“搜寻,查找”的含义,但一般指深入彻底地调查,只有A选项find在含义和语气上都符合句意。
从下一句便可找到答案为C选项,give rise to意为“引起,导致,使发生”。
选择D意为“找到关于餐馆名字的信息”,其他选项放此处均不合适。
此处需填一个谓语动词,因此要弄清主语“餐馆”与宾语“食物”之间的关系,只有“餐馆供应食物”合乎逻辑,故答案为serve。
上文提到了种种人生理的、智力上的、认知的目标,因为要充饥就需要获取有关餐馆的信息,因而此处要填“获取”,B,C,D项与文意不符。
此空依然承接上文的意思,那些目标都是获取信息的目标,都是学习的目标,答案为B选项。
此处缺一个情态动词,阅读到后半句时便很容易选出答案,此处的might 与后面as a person might相呼应,表示不确定的推测,意为“可能,也许”。
能与way搭配的介词一般只有in,表示“以……方式”,此处的含义为“与一个人可能想要做事的方式相同”。
arise out of是固定搭配,意为“起于……”,即使不知道短语的含义,看到后面又出现一次arise out of,也应可以选出答案。
