Passage 1
Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are that if you have two children or more, you will also offer separate bedrooms to them. In America, for example, people are made to want to have their own rooms by being given their own rooms when they were babies. This is very unusual in the world. In many other countries,ababy sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in the bed near them.
The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gathercloser to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members stay alone.
Although it is true that psychological space needs are not determined by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure. It is almost impossible, however,to completely change your psychological space needs.
The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means _______.
题干大意是：第一段画线句子的意思是______。根据第一段第一句“Noteveryone in the world requires the same amount of living space.”可知，世界上并不是每个人都需要同样大的生活空间。由此可推知，每个人对生活空间的需求并不总是相同的。故选B。
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
题干大意是：根据本文，下列哪一项是正确的?根据第一段第二、三句"Theamount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference…"和第一段最后三句“InAmerica...want to have their own rooms...This is very unusual in the world. In many othercountries….”可知，一个人需要的周围空间大小是一种文化差异，而不是经济差异；知道自己的心理空间需求是重要的，因为这种需求会强烈影响你的选择，包括家中卧室的数量；例如，在美国，人们还是婴儿的时候就被给予自己的房间，这种方式让他们想要拥有自己的房间；这在世界上非常罕见；在许多其他国家，婴儿和自己的父母睡在同一张床上，或者睡在父母旁边的床上。由此可推知，由于存在文化差异，不同国家的人需要的心理空间不相同。A、B、D三项均与文章内容不符。故选C。
Some families gather closer to each other at home than others because _______.
题干大意是：与其他家庭相比，一些家庭成员彼此之间靠得更近是因为 __。根据第二段前两句"The space in the home also shows a lot aboutpsychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of theirhouse has nothing to do with it."可知，家里的空间也很能说明心理空间需求；有些家庭成员彼此之间靠得更近，这与房子的大小无关。由此可推知，他们这样做是因为这满足了他们的心理空间需求。故选C。
According to the author, psychological space needs _______.
题干大意是：根据作者所述，心理空间需求_______。根据最后一段最后一句"It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological spaceneeds."可知，要完全改变你的心理空间需求几乎是不可能的，即心理空间需求几乎不能被完全改变。故选B。
The best title for this passage is _______.
题干大意是：本文的最佳标题是____。通读全文可知，第一段讲述了因文化差异，不同国家的人需要的生活空间不同，以及知道自己的心理空间需求的重要性；第二段举例说明家里的空间也很能说明心理空间需求；最后一段介绍了心理空间需求的影响因素，并指出要完全改变心理空间需求几乎是不可能的。由此可推知，本文主要围绕“心理空间需求”展开论述，所以B项(心理空间需求)最适合作本文的标题。A项意为"美国的生活方式”;C项意为“不同国家的空间需求”;D项意为“心理空间和经济压力”,这三项均不能概括文章主要内容。故选B。
