2、Nationalstandardsforpavedroadswereinplaceby192

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

標準答案：B

知識點解析：題干大意：“鋪建道路的國家標準1921年業已存在'其主要信號詞

是“1921”，據此可迅速定位于第2段開始，接著，循著題干中另一信號詞“National

者商業標記沒有全國標準）本題錯誤。

B、N

C、NG

標準答案：A

知識點解析：題于大意：“艾森豪威爾將軍覺得德國寬闊的高速公路比美國的雙車

道公路更好”，其主要信號詞是“GeneralEisenhower”，據此定位于第2段最后一

句，其信息立足點是“butGermany'sAutobahnormotorwayhadmademeseethe

wisdomofbroaderribbonsacrosstheland（但德國的Autobahn或者叫高速公路使我看

到了建造橫穿國土的寬闊高速道路帶的智慧）“，顯然是贊揚，本題正確。

知識點解析：題干大意：“因國土地貌特征而產生的許多問題都在創新性工程項目

中找到了解決辦法,"主要信息詞有"problems"和"innovativeengineerprojects"。查

讀原X后可定位于第4段，該段第3?5句提到的都是修路中的“problems”，緊接

country.…（…的創新性設計很快開始在全國編造了道路網廣，符合本題意思。

57、Accordingtothepassage,ifweperceiveaperson,wearelikelytobeinterestedin

A、whathewears

B、howtallheis

C、howhappyheis

D、whatcolorhedyeshishair

標掂答案：C

知識點解析：可定位于第1段第1、2句：Theprocessofperceivingothers…to

pinpointhisorhcrattitudcs,emotions,motivations,abilities,ideas,and

characters.第1句指出：我們很少用一些客觀詞匯來描述對他人的第一印象，如

身高多少、發色如何、穿著怎樣，第2句說：我們常重視他人的態度(attitudes)、

感情(emolions)、動機(molivations)、能力(abilities)、想法(ideas)和性格(characters),

而穿著、身高和發色正是選項A、B、D分別提到的，故正確答案是C。

58>Somepeopleareoftensurprisedbywhatotherpeopledo.AccordingtoBerger,that

ismainlybecause.

A、somepeoplearemoreemotionalthanothers

somepeoplearenotawareofthefactthatwewillnevercompletelyknowanother

person

C、somepeoplearesensitiveenoughtosensethechangeofotherpeople'sattitudes

D、somepeoplechoosetokeeptothemselves

標準答案：B

知識點解析：可定位在第3段第3、4句，第4句指出：Itwillalsokeepus(Yom

beingtoosurprisedorshockedbyseeminglyinconsistentbehavior(面對他人反復無常的

行為，它能避免我們過于驚訝或震驚)，而句中的il指的就是第3句中的“Ifwc

accepttheideathatwewon'teverfullyknowanotherperson(如果我們接受這個觀念，

即我們永遠也不能完全了解另一個人)”，而選項B的表述與文中一致，故正確答案

是Bo

59、Wemayhaveknownsomeonefortenyearsandstillknowverylittleabouthim

because

A、wedon'taccepttheideathatwemightneverfullyknowanotherperson

B>weoftengetinformationinacasualandinexactway

C、wepaymoreattentiontootherpeople'smotivationsandemotions

D^weoftenhaveface-to-faceconversationwithhim

標準答案：B

知識點解析：可定位在第3段前面兩句，第1句指出：Gettingtoknowsomeoneisa

ncver-endingtask,largelybecausepeopleareconstantlychangingandthemethodswe

usetoobtaininfomationareoflenimprecise.認識他人是個永無止境的任務，主要原

因在于人們善變而且我們用來獲取信息的方法常常不夠精確，第2句進而舉例說：

Youmayhaveknownsomeonefortenyearsandstillknowverylittleabouthim（你可能

認識某人十年卻一點也不了解他），所以原因應該在第1句，即“我們獲取信息的方

法不夠準確（inexact）”，inexact一詞出現在選項B中，故正確答案是B。

60、Therearcthingsthatwcfindpreventingusfromknowingothers.Thesethingsarc

A、disclosures

deceptions

CNstimuli

D、interactions

標準答案：B

知識點解析：定位在笫3段第3句：Ifwcaccepttheideathatwcwon'teverfully

knowanotherperson,itenablesustodealmoreeasilywiththosethingsthatgetinthe

wayofaccurateknowledgesuchassecretsanddeceptions.文中指出阻礙人們之叵互

相了解的因素包括秘密和欺騙，與選項B中deceptions（欺騙）同義，為正確答案。

61、Thispassagemainlyconcerns.

A^therelationshipbetweenpeople

B、theperceptionofotherpeople

C^secretsanddeceptionsofpeople

D、peopledattitudesandcharacters

標準答案：B

知識點解析：綜合整篇文章，題干問“本文的主要內容是什么”。選項A為“Ihe

relationshipbetweenpeople（人們的關系）”,選項B為"theperceptionofotherpeople（對

他人的認知）”，選項C為“secretsanddeceptionsofpeople（人們的秘密和欺騙戶,選

項D為“people飛attitudesandcharacters（人們的態度和性格廣，只有選項B是文章圍

繞的中心，其他三項只是文中提及的一個方面，故正確答案是B。
