ANSWER SHEET TWO. Proper street behavior in
the United States requires a nice balance of attention and inattention. You are
supposed to look at a {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}just enough to
show that you are {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}of his presence. If
you look too little, you appear haughty (目中无人的) or furtive
(诡秘的), {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}much and you are inquisitive.
Usually what happens is that people {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}}
{{/U}}each other until they are about eight feet {{U}} {{U}} 5
{{/U}} {{/U}}, at which point both cast down their eyes. Sociologist Erving
Goffman {{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}this as "a kind of dimming of
lights." Much of eye behavior is so {{U}} {{U}} 7
{{/U}} {{/U}}that we react to it 0nly on the intuitive level. The next time
you have a {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}with someone who makes you
feel liked, notice what he does with his eyes. {{U}} {{U}} 9
{{/U}} {{/U}}are he looks at you more often than is usual with {{U}}
{{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}a little longer than the normal. You interpret
this as a sign—a polite one—{{U}} {{U}} 11 {{/U}} {{/U}}he is
interested in you as a person {{U}} {{U}} 12 {{/U}} {{/U}}just
in the topic of conversation. Probably you also feel that he is both {{U}}
{{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}}and sincere. All this has
been demonstrated in elaborate {{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}.
Subjects sit and talk in the psychologists' laboratory, {{U}} {{U}}
15 {{/U}} {{/U}}of the fact that their eye behavior is being {{U}}
{{U}} 16 {{/U}} {{/U}}from a one way vision screen. In one fairly
typical experiment, {{U}} {{U}} 17 {{/U}} {{/U}}were induced to
cheat while performing a task, then were {{U}} {{U}} 18 {{/U}}
{{/U}}and observed. It was found that those who had {{U}} {{U}} 19
{{/U}} {{/U}}met the interviewer's eyes less often than was {{U}}
{{U}} 20 {{/U}} {{/U}}, an indication that "shifty eyes"—to use the
mystery writers stock phrase—can actually be a tip off to an attempt to deceive
or to feelings of guilt.
【答案解析】考查语义衔接。A)greeting不能与动词have搭配使用,故排除。B)discussion和D)conversation均可以与动词have搭配使用,本段倒数第二句中的in the topic of conversation提示本题答案为D)。
单选题
A. Chances
B. Opportunities
C. Expectations
D. Possibilities
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】考查词汇辨析。根据句意,本空所填词应有“可能性”之意,B)Opportunities(机会)和C)Expectations(期望,预料)在意思上均不符合语义,可排除。D)Possibilities意为“可能性”,但常以单数形式出现在There is possibility that...句型中。A)Chances除表示“机会”外,还可以表示“可能性”,且可用于There is a/the chance that...和Chances are...句型,故答案为A)。
单选题
A. talks
B. glances
C. sights
D. touches
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】考查语义衔接。本段讨论的是眼睛的微妙动作。由上文notice what he does with his eyes可推断,本空不可能填入C)sights和D)touches。本空所在句是对“看”这一动作的进一步说明,因此A)talks也不恰当,故排除。本句是说“他看你的次数很可能比平时多,扫视你的时间也比正常时间长”,故B)glances用在此处符合语义。
【答案解析】考查短语辨析。由上文he looks at you more often than is usual和{{U}} (40) {{/U}} a little longer than the normal可推知,对方是对你感兴趣,而不是对谈话的主题感兴趣,B)rather than意为“而不是”,符合语义,故答案为B)。A)better than意为“比……好”;C)other than意为“除了”;D)less than意为“比……少”。
【答案解析】考查词汇辨析。本句是说“受试者坐在心理学家的实验室里说话,全然不知他们的眼睛的动作正通过单向视屏被观察”。D)observed意为“观察”,符合此处语义,故答案为D)。A)noticed(注意到)表示瞬间的动作,不符合语境。B)interpreted(解释,说明)和C)analyzed(分析)不合逻辑,一般情况下实验过程是先观察,然后对观察结果进行分析或解释,故排除。下文提到的were {{U}}(48) {{/U}} all observed对本题有提示作用。
