...we are essentially 14 the whole set of names in that group, which includes all our beloved family members.
答案：(D) flipping through
flipping through the whole set of names（翻閱整組名字）表示大腦在尋找名字時，實際上是在瀏覽同一群組裡的所有名字；making up（捏造）、catching on（理解／流行）、skipping off（溜走）均不符合此處語意。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
四個都是兩個字組成的動詞片語，長得像，很容易憑眼熟挑；making up 因為前面出現過 mix up，看起來像同一掛的。
兩個條件一起把答案鎖死。第一，看空格後面的受詞：the whole set of names in that group（那一組名字的全部）。第二，看這一句開頭交代的目的：in order to find the name we are looking for（為了找出我們要的那個名字）。要在一整組東西裡找出其中一個，動作就是一頁一頁、一個一個快速翻過去——flip through 的本義正是快速翻閱（flip through a magazine 隨手翻雜誌），用到腦中的名單上就是把整組名字掃過一遍；空格前面是 are，所以填現在分詞 flipping through。受詞是「一整組」、目的是「找一個」，兩件事同時滿足的只有它。
make up 常見的意思是編造、組成、化妝、和好，沒有一個接得上「在一組名字裡找出一個」。catch on 是「聽懂、流行起來」，不及物，後面不能直接接受詞。skip off 不是穩定的說法，skip 常見的是 skip a page（跳過一頁）、skip class（翹課），而且「跳過整組名字」與「要在裡面找一個」語意矛盾。
flip through（快速翻閱、翻過一遍）、make up（編造、組成）、catch on（聽懂、流行起來）、in order to V（為了……）、the whole set of（一整組的）、beloved（心愛的、摯愛的）
"Anne! Jo! I mean, Max!" Mothers often mix up their children's names, but studies show that moms are not the only ones who make this mistake. 11 name phenomenon turns out to be very common. Almost everyone sometimes mixes up the names of their family and friends.
The phenomenon is called a "cognitive glitch" by researchers in the field of cognitive science. It is not caused by a bad memory or by aging processes that affect brain functioning. It is simply a result of the way our brain 12 those we love.
When our brain is attempting to retrieve a name so that we can say it, it is likely that another name in the same group will come to our lips 13 the one we meant to say. That is because in order to find the name we are looking for, we are essentially 14 the whole set of names in that group, which includes all our beloved family members. Scientists also report that the category 15 the person belongs (family, close friends, etc.) is far more influential in causing a mix-up than any phonetic similarity between names. Names that sound alike do not usually trigger the mix-up.
Isn't it great to know that when you call others by the wrong name, it is evidence of your love for them all?
