A.Howbesttorecognizepeople.

D.Howtogettoknowpeople.

【答案与解析】

21.D第一段第一句说“Faces,likefingerprints,areunique.”由此可

知，人脸与指纹一样，都是独一无二的，也就是与他人不同的，因此答

案选D。

22.C此题目意为“根据文章来看，一些小动物具有怎样的天赋”。

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

pigeon—canlearntorecognizefaces,wealltakethisabilityforgranted.”提

到了一些小动物和小孩子一样天生就有识别面孔的能力，因此答案选

C。

23.C此题目describe意为“描述”。根据最后一段最后一句“Today,

mosttelevisionandmovieactors…inactions.”可知，影视演员能够表现出

所饰演的人物的品质性格，因此C选项正确。A、B选项中的观众并非能

够“描述”品性的人，故错误；D选项中的心理学家，文中只提到一个心

理学家能够描述品性，但并非所有心理学家都可以，故均错误。

24.D此题目意在找出区分不同的人的原因。根据第二段“Wealso

tellpeopleapartbyhowtheybehave.”可知，外在特征和行为举止都是区

分人和人的方式，因此答案选D。

25.C此题为文章主旨题。根据全文可知，人的面孔、行为举止不

同都能够刻画出不同的人。然而面孔的不同不易描述，行为举止则可以

描述出来，这也就是我们为什么能够对一个人进行描述的原因。因此答

案选C。

A.MountaineeringisAttractive.

D.MountainClimbers.

【答案与解析】

26.D根据第二段第二句“Whyaremenandwomenwillingtosuffer

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

C选项均包括在内，因此答案选D。

27.B根据第三段第一句“Mountaineeringisasportandnotagame.

Therearenoman-maderules,asthereareforsuchgamesasgolfand

football.”可知，登山与游戏不同的地方在于没有人造规则，因此答案选

B。

28.C根据第四段最后一句“Thereare,itistrue,no‘matches’between

‘teams’ofclimbers,butwhenclimbersareonarockfacelinkedbyaropeon

whichtheirlivesmaydepend,thereisobviouslyteamwork.”可知，登山者

与登山绳的相互依赖与配合也属于团队合作，因此答案选C。

29.A根据第五段第二句“Hehastofighttheforcesofnature.”可知，

登山者要与大自然作斗争，因此答案选A。

30.C纵观全文，本文讲述的是关于登山这项运动的，因此以“登

山”这项运动为题目最合适。A、B并未提及，D只是文中的一方面，因

此答案选C。

【答案与解析】

31.B根据最后一段“Wedoourselvesnofavorswhenweletwayward

fathersmeetalowerstandardofbehaviorandresponsibility.”及regard本身

词义可知，父亲如果没有好的行为、尽到他的责任，则不会被尊重。因

此答案选B。

32.D根据倒数第二段后半部分“…childrenofsingle-parenthomes

（read:fatherless）aremoreapttohaveemotionalandbehavioral

problems…abusedrugsandgetintotroublewiththelaw.说Faces,like

fingerprints,areunique.”可知，ABC选项均有提及，D选项“未来成家会

更幸福”未提及，因此答案选D。

33.D根据第一段第一句“Comparedtothemalemarsupialfrog,human

beingsmakebadfathers.”可知，人类父亲与青蛙父亲相比是不够好的，

因此答案选D。

34.C根据倒数第二段第一句“Thehardtruthhereisthatalotofwhat

iswrongwithAmericansocietycanbetracedtothefactthatalotof

Americanfathersaren’thangingaroundtodothejob.”可知，父亲的不负责

任和工作有关，因此答案选C。

35.B根据最后一段第三句“Butfatherhoodisanideaworth

keeping.”及全文，本文讲述的是关于父亲责任的原因、后果等方面，从

而引发关于父亲这个概念的思考，因此答案选B。

40.Theword“insouciantly”inthelastparagraphmeans_____.

A.inawildmanner

【答案与解析】

36.B根据第一段中“…thereareotherformsofrole-reversalbesides

theonewherefatherwashesnappiesandmotherdrivesatruck.Thereare

countlessotherreversalsthatupsetusallthetime.”可知，除了这种角色互

换还有其他角色互换，也就是说，男人持家女人工作已经是常见的角色

互换了，因此答案选B。

37.B根据第三段第一句“There’salotofrole-reversalinthose

activitieswhichareforsomereasonscalled‘Leisure’—Faces,like

fingerprints,areunique.”可知，在一些被称为“休闲”的活动中，男女的角

色发生互换，也就是环境的改变才引起了角色的互换，因此答案选B。

38.D根据最后一段“Inourfamily,wedochangeplacesovermoney,

sincebothofustendtospendwhenwe’vebeenworkinghardandbevery

skinflintwhenwehaven’t.Sotheconfusedchildrenseethatatonemoment

Mummywouldbebitinghernails,expectthatshe’ssavingallnailclippings

善之心，因此答案选D。

clippingsthismonthtomakepan-cleaners.Yetatothertimesthemost

necessaryexpensessendtheirfatherintoanxiety…”可知，母亲这样做是因

为担心家里的经济情况，因此答案选A。

40.B根据最后一段最后一句“…whileIinsouciantlywritecheques

【解析】排序题最重要的是看段落大意和关联词语。这篇排序题主

要讲述的是奥林匹克运动会的历史和类型。A、G段落已经固定好。A段

运会的历史沿革，故接下来的段落为E、C。C段落已经将奥运会过渡为

现代奥运会，所以在介绍完时间后，继续介绍奥运会的内容，即段落

B。根据G段落“Inathirdgroupofgames”的提示，前一段落为D段落“Ina

【参考译文】

在等着进入大学的那段日子里，我在当地报纸上看到了一则学校招

聘教师的广告，这所学校在我居住的地方十多英里外的伦敦郊区。由于

缺钱，而且想要做些有用的事情，我申请了这个岗位，但是又因为没有

学位、没有教学经验而害怕申请不上这个岗位。

然而，三天之后我收到了一封信，信上请我去克洛伊登参加面试。

然而去克洛伊登的这段行程却并不愉快。
