问题     Why do we have the political opinions we have and not another? How and why do our【C1】________change? The answers to these questions are complex. Differences of opinion are shaped by【C2】________life experiences: where you live; how you were【C3】________; whether you’re rich or poor. Emotion comes into the picture, and emotion has a【C4】________basis, at least in part. All of this and more combines into a mixed dish【C5】________a fixed recipe, even if many of the ingredients are known.
    Surprisingly, a recent experimental psychology suggests, our political beliefs may have【C6】________to do with a specific aspect of our biological makeup. In the mid-2000s, a political scientist【C7】________the neuroscientist Read Montague with a radical proposal—political orientation might be partly inherited, and might be【C8】________by our physiological reactivity to threats. To test their theory, they wanted Montague, who【C9】________the Human Neuroimaging Laboratory at Virginia Tech, to scan the brains of subjects【C10】________ they looked at a variety of images—including ones displaying disgusting scenes【C11】________ badly injured animals and dirty toilets—to see whether neural responses showed any【C12】________ with political ideology.
    Montague【C13】________ laughed at the idea, but the team returned with studies to argue their case, and eventually he signed on. 【C14】________ the data began rolling in, any skepticism about the project quickly【C15】________. The subjects, 83 in total, were first shown a random【C16】________ of neutral and emotionally provocative pictures—this second category contained both positive and negative images—while【C17】________ brain scans. Then they filled out a questionnaire seeking their views on hot-button political and social issues, in order to classify their general outlook on a【C18】________ from extremely liberal to extremely conservative. As Montague mapped the neuroimaging data against ideology, he recalls, "my jaw dropped." The brains of liberals and conservatives reacted in wildly different ways to【C19】________ pictures: Both groups reacted but different brain networks were stimulated. Just by looking at the subjects’ neural responses, in fact, Montague could【C20】________ with more than 95 percent accuracy whether they were liberal or conservative.
【C9】
选项 A、heads
B、operates
C、teaches
D、tutors
答案A
解析 本题空格处需填入一个动词，满足句意“为了测试他们的理论，他们希望蒙塔古，这位——弗吉尼亚理工大学的人类神经影像学实验室的神经学家，能够……”。该空格处定语从句修饰先行词蒙塔古，对其身份进行解释说明，空格后提到实验室，说明蒙塔古是这个实验室的一员，政治科学家主动找到蒙塔古，说明他有权威且知名度高，那么他应该在这个实验室处于主导地位，四个选项中只有选项[A]heads“领导；主管”符合句意，故为答案。
