A.Howbesttorecognizepeople.

B.Whyitisnecessarytoidentifypeople’spersonality.

C.Whyitispossibletodescribepeople.

D.Howtogettoknowpeople.

【答案與解析】

21.D第一段第一句說(shuō)“Faces,likefingerprints,areunique.”由此可

知，人臉與指紋一樣，都是獨(dú)一無(wú)二的，也就是與他人不同的，因此答

案選D。

22.C此題目意為“根據(jù)文章來(lái)看，一些小動(dòng)物具有怎樣的天賦”。

第一段最后一句“Yetaveryyoungchild—orevenananimal,suchasa

pigeon—canlearntorecognizefaces,wealltakethisabilityforgranted.”提

到了一些小動(dòng)物和小孩子一樣天生就有識(shí)別面孔的能力，因此答案選

C。

23.C此題目describe意為“描述”。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“Today,

mosttelevisionandmovieactors…inactions.”可知，影視演員能夠表現(xiàn)出

所飾演的人物的品質(zhì)性格，因此C選項(xiàng)正確。A、B選項(xiàng)中的觀眾并非能

夠“描述”品性的人，故錯(cuò)誤；D選項(xiàng)中的心理學(xué)家，文中只提到一個(gè)心

理學(xué)家能夠描述品性，但并非所有心理學(xué)家都可以，故均錯(cuò)誤。

24.D此題目意在找出區(qū)分不同的人的原因。根據(jù)第二段“Wealso

tellpeopleapartbyhowtheybehave.”可知，外在特征和行為舉止都是區(qū)

分人和人的方式，因此答案選D。

25.C此題為文章主旨題。根據(jù)全文可知，人的面孔、行為舉止不

同都能夠刻畫(huà)出不同的人。然而面孔的不同不易描述，行為舉止則可以

描述出來(lái)，這也就是我們?yōu)槭裁茨軌驅(qū)σ粋€(gè)人進(jìn)行描述的原因。因此答

案選C。

D.MountainClimbers.

【答案與解析】

26.D根據(jù)第二段第二句“Whyaremenandwomenwillingtosuffer

coldandhardship,andtotakerisksonhighmountains?”由此可知，A、B、

C選項(xiàng)均包括在內(nèi)，因此答案選D。

27.B根據(jù)第三段第一句“Mountaineeringisasportandnotagame.

Therearenoman-maderules,asthereareforsuchgamesasgolfand

football.”可知，登山與游戲不同的地方在于沒(méi)有人造規(guī)則，因此答案選

B。

28.C根據(jù)第四段最后一句“Thereare,itistrue,no‘matches’between

‘teams’ofclimbers,butwhenclimbersareonarockfacelinkedbyaropeon

whichtheirlivesmaydepend,thereisobviouslyteamwork.”可知，登山者

與登山繩的相互依賴與配合也屬于團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，因此答案選C。

29.A根據(jù)第五段第二句“Hehastofighttheforcesofnature.”可知，

登山者要與大自然作斗爭(zhēng)，因此答案選A。

30.C縱觀全文，本文講述的是關(guān)于登山這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)的，因此以“登

山”這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)為題目最合適。A、B并未提及，D只是文中的一方面，因

此答案選C。

【答案與解析】

31.B根據(jù)最后一段“Wedoourselvesnofavorswhenweletwayward

fathersmeetalowerstandardofbehaviorandresponsibility.”及regard本身

詞義可知，父親如果沒(méi)有好的行為、盡到他的責(zé)任，則不會(huì)被尊重。因

此答案選B。

32.D根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段后半部分“…childrenofsingle-parenthomes

（read:fatherless）aremoreapttohaveemotionalandbehavioral

problems…abusedrugsandgetintotroublewiththelaw.說(shuō)Faces,like

fingerprints,areunique.”可知，ABC選項(xiàng)均有提及，D選項(xiàng)“未來(lái)成家會(huì)

更幸?！蔽刺峒?，因此答案選D。

33.D根據(jù)第一段第一句“Comparedtothemalemarsupialfrog,human

beingsmakebadfathers.”可知，人類父親與青蛙父親相比是不夠好的，

因此答案選D。

34.C根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句“Thehardtruthhereisthatalotofwhat

iswrongwithAmericansocietycanbetracedtothefactthatalotof

Americanfathersaren’thangingaroundtodothejob.”可知，父親的不負(fù)責(zé)

任和工作有關(guān)，因此答案選C。

35.B根據(jù)最后一段第三句“Butfatherhoodisanideaworth

keeping.”及全文，本文講述的是關(guān)于父親責(zé)任的原因、后果等方面，從

而引發(fā)關(guān)于父親這個(gè)概念的思考，因此答案選B。

【答案與解析】

36.B根據(jù)第一段中“…thereareotherformsofrole-reversalbesides

theonewherefatherwashesnappiesandmotherdrivesatruck.Thereare

countlessotherreversalsthatupsetusallthetime.”可知，除了這種角色互

換還有其他角色互換，也就是說(shuō)，男人持家女人工作已經(jīng)是常見(jiàn)的角色

互換了，因此答案選B。

37.B根據(jù)第三段第一句“There’salotofrole-reversalinthose

activitieswhichareforsomereasonscalled‘Leisure’—Faces,like

fingerprints,areunique.”可知，在一些被稱為“休閑”的活動(dòng)中，男女的角

色發(fā)生互換，也就是環(huán)境的改變才引起了角色的互換，因此答案選B。

38.D根據(jù)最后一段“Inourfamily,wedochangeplacesovermoney,

sincebothofustendtospendwhenwe’vebeenworkinghardandbevery

skinflintwhenwehaven’t.Sotheconfusedchildrenseethatatonemoment

Daddy’sthebigspender,lashingoutoncamerasandlittletripsabroad,while

Mummywouldbebitinghernails,expectthatshe’ssavingallnailclippings

善之心，因此答案選D。

39.A根據(jù)最后一段倒數(shù)第二句“…expectthatshe’ssavingallnail

clippingsthismonthtomakepan-cleaners.Yetatothertimesthemost

necessaryexpensessendtheirfatherintoanxiety…”可知，母親這樣做是因

為擔(dān)心家里的經(jīng)濟(jì)情況，因此答案選A。

40.B根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“…whileIinsouciantlywritecheques

withasongonmylips.Ionlyhopeitteachesthemflexibility.”可知，與前

文緊張的狀態(tài)相比（while），我的態(tài)度是漫不經(jīng)心的，因此答案選B。

【答案】41-45ECBFD

【解析】排序題最重要的是看段落大意和關(guān)聯(lián)詞語(yǔ)。這篇排序題主

要講述的是奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)會(huì)的歷史和類型。A、G段落已經(jīng)固定好。A段

落最后一句“haveaveryinterestinghistory”提示接下來(lái)的段落應(yīng)當(dāng)講述奧

運(yùn)會(huì)的歷史沿革，故接下來(lái)的段落為E、C。C段落已經(jīng)將奧運(yùn)會(huì)過(guò)渡為

現(xiàn)代奧運(yùn)會(huì)，所以在介紹完時(shí)間后，繼續(xù)介紹奧運(yùn)會(huì)的內(nèi)容，即段落

B。根據(jù)G段落“Inathirdgroupofgames”的提示，前一段落為D段落“Ina

secondgroup”剩余段落F即在B、D之間。

interviewer。）

48.on→about

（beconcernedabout對(duì)某事關(guān)心，為固定搭配。）

49.interviewer→interviewers

（interviewer為可數(shù)名詞，此處應(yīng)為復(fù)數(shù)形式。）

50.which→that

（先行詞由theonly修飾，定語(yǔ)從句連接詞應(yīng)為that。）

51.paying→calling

（根據(jù)句意，如果被面試者表現(xiàn)得過(guò)于緊張，反而會(huì)引起面試官的

注意，payattention是個(gè)人主觀注意，callattention是引起他人注意。）

52.appliances→applicants

55.seek→sought

（根據(jù)句意，面試者會(huì)成為面試官尋找的人，此處應(yīng)為被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)“被

尋找的人”，故改為sought。）

【參考譯文】

在等著進(jìn)入大學(xué)的那段日子里，我在當(dāng)?shù)貓?bào)紙上看到了一則學(xué)校招

聘教師的廣告，這所學(xué)校在我居住的地方十多英里外的倫敦郊區(qū)。由于

缺錢，而且想要做些有用的事情，我申請(qǐng)了這個(gè)崗位，但是又因?yàn)闆](méi)有

學(xué)位、沒(méi)有教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)而害怕申請(qǐng)不上這個(gè)崗位。

然而，三天之后我收到了一封信，信上請(qǐng)我去克洛伊登參加面試。

然而去克洛伊登的這段行程卻并不愉快。
