【C15】
选项 A、crucially
B、fatally
C、profoundly
D、apparently
答案A
解析 副词辨析题。句意为：最重要的是我们用大脑的这一部分预测我们失去爱人时的场景，以及思考当此情形发生时，我们的感受会如何。根据上下文可以看出，本句强调的是大脑这一部分具有另一个重要的功能，即预测场景。crucially表示“关键地，至关重要地”，例如：And，crucially，are there anyinterrogation techniques that can be shown to be both effective and humane?(并且，关键的是，到底有没有一种审问技巧可以被证明既有效又人道?)[A]符合句意，为答案。fatally“致命地”，而且通常不放在句首，例如：Don’t get so caught up in your passion that you jump in and take action on a fatally flawed idea．(不要过分地沉迷于你的激情当中，以至于你投入和付诸行动的是一个存在致命缺陷的想法。)profoundly“深刻地，深深地”；apparently“似乎，表面上”，均不符合句意，故排除。
