    文章大意
    約會(huì)對(duì)象 的哪些特點(diǎn)會(huì)令對(duì)方產(chǎn)生好感?人們本能地認(rèn)為外表是最不重要的因素。但研究結(jié)果卻發(fā)現(xiàn)外表在約會(huì)初期 的好感起著決定性的作用 。有一項(xiàng)研究讓人們在相親后對(duì)對(duì)方進(jìn)行評(píng)價(jià) 。雖然男人們認(rèn)為對(duì)方 的外表漂亮與否并不重要 ,但事實(shí)卻是在相親中女性的外表對(duì)男性 的吸引力相對(duì)于男性對(duì)女性 的吸引力來說更大。另一個(gè)研究是相親者的個(gè)性和能力與其吸引力是否有關(guān) ,其結(jié)論也是與吸引力惟一相關(guān)的因素是外貌 。
    答案與解析
    1. C
    語義銜接題。下句中的put... the list 說明這是一個(gè)排名 ,因此用rank最為恰當(dāng)。
    2.C
    邏輯關(guān)系題 。因?yàn)楹笪奶岬饺藗冋J(rèn)為不應(yīng)對(duì)外表這類膚淺的東西過多地關(guān)注 ,因此這里應(yīng)該是排名的最后 。
    3.D
    固定搭配題 。be concerned with :關(guān)注。
    4.B
    名詞辨析題。 表示人的外貌、外表要用looks ;look用作名詞表示表情、裝扮 , 如 :a worried look 擔(dān)憂的表情 ;looking :look的動(dòng)名詞 ;lookings :不存在。
    5.A
    固定搭配題 。skin-deep :膚淺 。
    6.B
    情態(tài)動(dòng)詞辨析題 。have to可 以代替must ,表示“必須 ,不得不” ,并可以補(bǔ)充must所缺的時(shí)態(tài) 。should和ought to都表示 “應(yīng)該” ,should一般表示說話人 的主觀觀點(diǎn) ,ought to 比should語氣強(qiáng) ,表示來自外界的規(guī)則或義務(wù) ,也可以表示作推測性的結(jié)論 。本句中這種“不以貌取人”的做法既不是外界的強(qiáng)迫 ,也并非別人的要求 ,而是類似于潛規(guī)則或一種義務(wù) 。
    7.D
    語法關(guān)系題 。looks matter little(外貌無足輕重 )是intuition 的同位語 ,因此必須以that引導(dǎo) 。
    8.D
    語義銜接題 。deny :否認(rèn) ,否定 ,根據(jù)上下文可知,人們否認(rèn)外表的吸引力 ,事實(shí)上是不愿承認(rèn)外表的吸引力 ;而與refuse搭配的應(yīng)該為opinion, idea等一類詞 。
    9.C
    非謂語動(dòng)詞辨析題 。indicating that... 是現(xiàn)在分詞作studies的定語 。
    10. B
    固定搭配題 。date意為 “約會(huì)”時(shí) ,應(yīng)與介詞on搭配 ,如 :on a first date第一次約會(huì), go on a date 去約會(huì) 。
    11. A
    語義銜接題。evaluate :評(píng)價(jià) ,評(píng)估。根據(jù)上下文可知這項(xiàng)研究是試圖找到約會(huì)對(duì)象的特點(diǎn)與其吸引力之間的關(guān)系,因此這里表示讓學(xué)生對(duì)自己的約會(huì)對(duì)象進(jìn)行評(píng)估(其吸引力如何 ),并猜測自己 (被吸引或沒有被吸引 )的原因。
    12.C
    語義銜接題 。根據(jù)后一句可知 ,很多男性懷疑外表的重要性 ,因此這里應(yīng)該是表示原因。
    13.B
    邏輯關(guān)系題 。根據(jù)后一句可知 ,與男人自己認(rèn)為相反的情況是 ,他們比女性更容易受到外表美麗 的約會(huì)對(duì)象 的吸引。因此 ,男人本來是認(rèn)為外表并不重要 。suspect :懷疑…(的正確性 )。
    14.A
    邏輯關(guān)系題 。根據(jù) “but”一詞及后文可知 ,結(jié)果與人們的主觀認(rèn)識(shí)相反 。
    15.D
    固定搭配題 。attraction與介詞to搭配表示 “對(duì) ……產(chǎn)生吸引”。
    16.C
    語義銜接題 。根據(jù)上下文可知 ,這是一項(xiàng)通過相親的方法 了解決定男女之間吸引力因素的實(shí)驗(yàn) ,因此match一詞最為恰當(dāng)。recruit :招收 (員工 、士兵 );enroll :報(bào)名 (課程 );date :與 (某人 )約會(huì) 。
    17.A
    語義銜接題 。在這項(xiàng)研究實(shí)驗(yàn)中 ,首先對(duì)每個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)的個(gè)性及能力(與外表無關(guān)的個(gè)人因素 )打分,再考查這些因素與吸引力之間的關(guān)系 。根據(jù)aptitude(能力 )一詞可知最合適的一詞應(yīng)該為personality(個(gè)性 )。
    18.B
    語義銜接題 。雖然對(duì)每位實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)象的個(gè)性及能力打了分,但他們卻是隨機(jī)地進(jìn)行配對(duì) 。
    19.D
    詞組辨析題 。so far as相 當(dāng)于as far s ,意為 “就 ……來說 ,在 ……范 圍內(nèi)” ,引導(dǎo)狀語從句 ,強(qiáng)調(diào)程度或范圍,從句中動(dòng)詞常用know, see, concern等。as long as :只要 ;so much so that :如此 ……以至于……;to the extent that :到達(dá)……的程度 。
    20.B
    動(dòng)詞辨析題 。matter :要緊 ,重要 ,如 :It doesn t matter. 沒關(guān)系。根據(jù)文章的意義 ,約會(huì)對(duì)象的個(gè)性和能力都與其對(duì)異性的吸引力無關(guān) ,惟一重要的是他們的外表 。value為及物動(dòng)詞 。
