填空题 Rearrange the following sentences so that they read logically. Put the corresponding letters in a proper sequence in the boxes provided below. The positions of some sentences have been given. [A] We generally recognize that future circumstances are somehow caused or conditioned by present ones. [B] Besides,we also learn that such patterns of cause and effect are probabilistic in nature. [C] Thus, students learn that studying hard produces good grades in most instances,but not every time. [D] Humans seem predisposed to undertake this task by using causal and probabilistic reasoning. [E] Practically all people,and many other animals as well,exhibit a desire to predict their future circumstances. [F] We learn that getting an education will affect how much money we earn later in life and that swimming beyond the reef may bring an unhappy encounter with a shark. [G] That is,the effects occur more often when the causes occur than when the causes are absent—but not always. [H] Sharks,on the other hand—whether or not they reason the matter through—may learn that hanging around the reef often brings a happy encounter with unhappy swimmers.

【正确答案】 1、    
【答案解析】[解析] 通读题目中的8句话可知,E项的内容最具概括性,可作为段首句。此句大意为:几乎所有的人和许多的动物都渴望预知其将来的状况。接下来F一句话通过实例对第一句话进行具体展开。由于E项一句提及了人和动物都有预知将来的渴望,而F一句提及了人的情况,因此H一句可紧跟F项,因为H一句内容提到了动物,即鲨鱼。然后依次通读B、A、D,在剩下的G、C两句中应先选择G,因为G项的内容正是对D项中“causal and probabilistic reasoning”的解释。因此,本题的正确顺序为:E、F、H、B、A、D、G、C。
