1. A) 主旨题。(Lines1~2,Para.1) Whether the eyes are “the windows of the soul” is debatable; that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. 眼睛在人际交往中起着十分重要的作用是无可争辩的事实。
2. C) 细节题。(Lines4~5,Para.1) a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in profile. 只露出一个眼睛的侧面面孔决不能把孩子逗笑。
3. D) 细节题。(Lines8~9,Para.1) In Japan, however, where babies are carried on their mother’s back, infants do not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other cultures.日本的婴儿是背在妈妈背上的,不象其他国家的婴儿,常用目光与人交流,因而没有谈话时注视对方目光的习惯,而是用眼睛注视对方的脖子。
4. C) 细节题。(Lines5~8,Para.2) It is important that they be looking at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker reestablishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. 当讲话人恢复与你的目光接触时,听话人一定要看着讲话人,否则人家会以为你对讲话不感兴趣而终止讲话,或者等到恢复目光接触后再讲下去。
5. A) 细节题。文章最后1句:当交谈双方均带墨镜时,目光的移动对保持谈话的顺畅进行有多么重要便十分清楚了。由于双方带着墨镜,无法看清对方目光的移动,就有可能发生谈话中的交流不畅——一时间对方都讲话,或者一方抢另一方的话,或者发生意想不到的冷场。

1. A) 观点题。作者对传统上一个人读写和计算的能力来衡量智力的观念的看法?(Line1, Para.1) Taking charge of yourself involves putting to rest some very prevalent myths (流行的错误观念)。第一段第二句话讲到了conventional notion of intelligence是prevalent myths之一,选项A中widely held即为prevalent之意。myth也就是wrong concept。
2. D) 细节推理题。在文章中拥有大学文凭暗指什么?(Lines6~8, Para.1) We have come to believe that someone who has more educational merit badges, who is very good at some form of school discipline is “intelligent”. Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the properly lettered certificates. 此题实际上考转折考点(Yet),因此拥有大学文凭和聪明不能划等号。
注:hold a university degree 指文中的学历证书(certificate)。
3. C) 主旨题。作者认为聪明的人知道什么?①(Lines8~9, Para.1) A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and each present moment of every day. ②(Lines1~2, Para.2) If you are happy, if you live each moment for everything it’s worth, then you are an intelligent person. 如果你快乐,每一分钟都过得值得(与C中make his life worth while对应),那么你就是聪明的人。③(Line2, Para.3) They know how to choose happiness over depression. 聪明的人知道如何选择幸福而不是沮丧(与选项C中avoid depression对应)。
4. A) 细节题。最后一段作者告诉我们什么?(Lines3~4, Para.4) Everyone who is involved with other human beings in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human. 困难只是(but)每个人生活的一部分。
5. B) 细节题。什么样的人是出类拔萃的?文章最后一句话(Lines8~9, Para.4) Those who recognize problems as a human condition and don’t measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know; also, the most rare. 那些能够懂得各种困难是人生难免的状况,不以是否遭遇问题来衡量幸福与否的人是最聪明,也是出类拔萃的。

1. D) 细节题。是什么使得妇女注意不到高跟鞋的欺骗性本质?第一段讲高跟鞋是最大的欺骗(deception)。(Lines5~6, Para.1) Fashion myths have led women to believe that they are more beautiful or sophisticated for wearing heels. 妇女穿高跟鞋主要是觉得漂亮,为了改善自己的外表。
2. A) 细节推理题。作者提出高跟鞋的好的方面是为了什么?(Para.2) it must be noted that there is a positive side to high heels. First… Second, heels are quite functional for defense against oncoming enemies, who can easily be scared away by threatening them with a pair of these sharp, deadly fashion accessories. (参见内容大意) 作者提出高跟鞋的好的方面当然是为了起到讽刺的作用了;不会是为了C)体现公平,D)使自己更有说服力,更不是为了B)取笑妇女。
3. C) 词义推理题。第二段中作者用those babies指高跟鞋的目的?(Line3, Para.2) A simple trip around the yard in a pair of those babies eliminates all need to call for a lawn care specialist. 第二段充满了讽刺诙谐的写作手法。baby在文章中不是一般意义,而是用了比喻含义。美国人把自己的恋人、情人或者是喜欢的事物称作baby,作者用小宝贝指高跟鞋是为了表现妇女对高跟鞋的喜爱程度,而不是为了强调高跟鞋的小巧(small size)。
4. B) 主旨题。作者反对高跟鞋的主要论点是什么?文章前两段对文章所要阐述的主要论点作了铺垫。(Lines1~2, Para.3) Regardless of such practical uses for heels, the fact remains that wearing high heels is harmful to one’s physical health. 最后一段第一句话起到了承上启下的作用,是本段的主题句。然后围绕此展开论述高跟鞋对妇女健康的伤害。
5. A) 主旨推理题。(Lines5~6, Para.1) Fashion myths have led women to believe that they are more beautiful or sophisticated for wearing heels, but in reality, heels succeed in posing short as well as long term hardships. 第一段讲了流行文化上的错误观念使得妇女认为穿高跟鞋漂亮,然后又用讽刺或从正面讲述了高跟鞋的危害,目的就是为了让妇女能够看清(see through)这些错误观念的本质。

1. D) 词义题。Olestra是一种什么物质?Olestra是文章的核心单词,所有内容围绕其展开。文章中多次提到与该词有关的信息。”Imagine eating everything delicious—with none of the fat”(第一段第一句);”new ‘fake fat’ products”(第二段第一句);(Lines5~6, Para.2) “the new fat-free products taste good enough to keep eating”(第二段最后一句)。
注:fat-free这样的复合词在英文中非常重要,-free表示”没有,免除”的意思。
2. D) 细节题。寻找一种易消化的脂肪的结果是什么样的?(Lines2~3, Para.3) Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created a fat that can’t be digested at all. 没有(Instead of)找到想要的脂肪,研究人员却创造了一种完全不能被消化的脂肪。因此研究人员的研究结果是他们没有预料到的。
3. A) 细节对比题。Olestra与普通脂肪的不同之处?(Lines1~2, Para.6) Olestra, which is made from six to eight molecules of fatty acids, is too large for the intestines to absorb. It just slides through the intestines without being broken down. Olestra由六到八个脂肪酸分子构成,因为太大了不能被肠道吸收。它只是滑过肠道而不被分解。
4. C) 细节题。某些批评者认为Olestra的负面作用可能是什么?(Lines5~7, Para.6) But critics say olestra can prevent vitamins A, D, E, and K from being absorbed. It can also prevent the absorption of carotenoids, compounds that may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, etc. (But开始)但是批评者说Olestra可能影响到维生素A、D、E和K的吸收,也会妨碍类胡萝卜素的吸收,而胡萝卜素是一种可能降低癌症、心脏病发病率的化合物。
5. B) 细节题。为什么营养学家关注在Olestra中加入维生素?(Lines2~3, Para.7) Even so, some nutritionists are still concerned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made with the fat substitute without worrying about how many calories they are consuming. 即使这样,营养学家仍然担心人们可能无节制的食用带有Olestra这种脂肪替代物的食品,而不管吸收了多少卡路里(热量)。
