【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[听力原文] 32-35 Researching friendship,psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age,their sex,the results were completely clear. Women have more friendships than men,and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is“marked and unmistakable”. More than two-thirds of the single men,Rubin interviewed,could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend,and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend,most trusted person,or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress. “Most women. ”says Rubin,“identified at least one,usually more,trusted friends to whom they could turn to in a troubled moment,and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives. ” “In general,”Rubin writes in her new book,“women's friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support,but men's relationships are marked by shared activities. ”“Even when a man is said to be a best friend,”Rubin writes,“the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman's closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave fl failing marriage,it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend's marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa. ” 32. What is one of the psychologist Rubin's findings? [解析] 细节题。本题询问“心理学家Rubin的发现之一是什么?”选项C是原文开头重要信息的概括,其他选项文中并未提到。故选C。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] According to Rubin's study,to whom is a married woman more likely to turn for emotional support? [解析] 细节题。本题问“根据Robin的研究,已婚女性更有可能向什么人寻求情感支持?”文章在进行总的比较之后具体介绍差异。文中明确指出大多数女性会信任她们的朋友,并向其倾诉。故选B。
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文] Which of the following statements might Rubin support? [解析] 细节题。文章采用了大量引语,接近结尾处Rubin讲到men时说“这两个人在内心最深处的情感方面几乎没有什么共通之处。即A,B,C中的marriage虽有提及,但只是用来说明A;D属于未提及信息。故选A。
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] What does the research done by psychologist Rubin center around? [解析] 归纳总结题。文章开头第2个单词就是friendship,后文又比较men和women在这方面的差别,所以研究的核心为B。文中多次提到marriage这个词,但它只是用来例证friendship这个主题的,故A、C错误;Rubin主要研究男女在友谊方面的差别,而不是男女之间的互动。故选B。
