Passage Four
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ells- worth Huntington (1876-1947) concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and: temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat is. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that mental, abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.
Fall is the next best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!
46. According to the passage, your mental ability ______.
A. depends on your attitude towards people in different time of the year
B. changes for the worst when you dislike most people in hot season
C. will be best in winter and worst in summer if you want to be creative
D. turns to be more powerful in spring than in any of the other seasons

第3题：
The process of perceiving others is rarely translated(to ourselves or others) into cold,objective terms．"She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt．" More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations,abilities, ideas, and characters． Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly--perhaps with a two-second glance．
We try to obtain information about others in many ways． Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others; who are known to you so you can compare the observed person's behavior with the known others' behavior, observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for,deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person's responses to specific stimuli, asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about himor her, and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person--question, self-disclosures, and so on．
Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly
changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise． You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him． If we accept the idea that we won't ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions． It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior． Ironically, those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e． g． secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e． g． disclosures and truthful statement)．
Some people are often surprised by what other people do． According to Berger, that is mainly because__________．A.some people are more emotional than others
B.some people are not aware of the fact that we will never completely know another person
C.some people are sensitive enough to sense the change of other people's attitudes
D.some people choose to keep to themselves答案：B解析：结合第二段和第三段内容可知，有一些人总是为他人的所作所为吃惊，这是因为他们没有意识到我们永远不可能完全了解一个人。 -
第4题：
Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in manyways because__________.A.people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think it necessary to change
B.people there have identical needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty
C.people there are easy to please
D.people there are less disputed答案：A解析：由第一段最后一句“although conditions may not be satisfactory，they are at least custom-ary and undisputed”可知答案为A，此选项是对原文的同义转述。 -

第7题：
Which of the following statements is true according to Tocqueville？( )A.As social conditions and opportunities improve，social satisfaction grows more quickly.
B.Social mechanisms have seemingly conflicting nature.
C.As social conditions improve，there will be fewer people enjoy the social privilege.
D.As social conditions improve，the people will have more concentrated power.答案：B解析：细节题。根据最后一段第一句social frustration increases as social conditions improve可知，A项错误；根据最后一段最后一句He wrote that this growing hatred of social privilege，as social conditions improve，leads to the state concentrating more power to itself可知，享有特权的不是人民而是state本身，故D项错误；全文并未提及“享受特权的人数”问题，因此C项错误。故本题选B。参考译文：法国政治科学家、历史学家、哲学家和政治家阿历克西·德·托克维尔以一本四卷册的书《美国的民主》闻名于世。他于1831年来到美国，研究美国的民主形式及其对世界其他地方的意义。在仅仅九个月的访问之后，他完成了一本非凡的作品，至今被奉为经典。托克维尔有着非同寻常的观察力。他不仅描述了政府的民主制度及其运作方式，而且还描述了它对美国人的思考、感受和行为的影响。许多学者认为，托克维尔对美国传统信仰和价值观的理解比任何其他描写美国的人都要深刻。尤其引人注目的是，他在近200年前观察到的这些许多特征今天在美国人身上仍然可见且具有重大意义。他的观察也很重要，因为他访问的时间-19世纪30年代——是在美国工业化之前。这是小农、商人和西部边疆定居的时代，是一个新国家的传统价值观新建立的历史时期。在美国宪法通过大约40年后的短短一代人时间里，这种新的政府形式产生的社会中，人人都有独特的价值观。然而，他是一位中立的观察者，看到了这些品质的两面性。《美国的民主》的第一部分写于1831-1832年，出版于1835年。这本书对美国政府和社会进行了非常积极和乐观的描述，大受欢迎。他试图一瞥美国社会的本质，同时宣扬自己的哲学：阶级平等和不可避免的、根深蒂固的贵族特权。他用了四年时间才完成这本书的剩余部分，并于1840年出版第二部分。第二部分比第一部分更加悲观，他警告了专制和政府集权的危险，并将他的观点和批评直指法国。因此，除了在英国受到高度赞扬之外，它没有像第一部分那样受到欢迎。《美国的民主》着重分析为什么共和党代议制民主在美国取得了成功，但在许多其他地方却失败了。托克维尔指出，宗教在美国能发挥强大作用是因为它与政府分离，所有党派都认同这种分离。他将此与法国作对比，在法国，他认为民主党和宗教之间存在不健康的对立，这与教会和国家之间的联系有关。托克维尔还概述了人类可能过度追求平等，预示着20世纪会产生极权主义国家。托克维尔观察到社会机制存在矛盾，这在后来被称为“托克维尔效应”，即“随着社会条件的改善，社会挫折感也会增加”。他写道，随着社会条件的改善，这种对社会特权日益增长的仇恨导致国家将更多的权力集中到自己身上。 -

第10题：
问答题Practice 1 Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. 1______ 2______People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份) than to step out of uniform? 3______They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible(可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes. 4______Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least. 5______Though they are long lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.[A] For this reason, more and more factories begin to give out uniforms to workers.[B] Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?[C] Uniform also have many practical benefits.[D] Uniform is also an indication of people’s position.[E] Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian clothes.[F] Primary among the arguments against uniforms are their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them.[G] Uniform also give rise to some practical problems.正确答案： 1.B 空前说“美国人崇尚多样性和个性,然而他们对制服却情有独钟”。全文内容也都与穿制服有关。B选项说“制服在美国为什么受此欢迎?”能够贯穿上下文。故选B。
2.E 阅读全文可知,针对穿制服这一现象有两种观点,本段讲的是赞同者的看法。选项E最能概括本段大意。故选E。
3.C 本段讲的是穿制服可以省去服装费、洗衣费、税费等,且舒适、耐穿。即“穿制服的实用性”。故选C。
4.F 本段讲的是反对者看法。F项说“反对制服的主要原因是制服缺少多样性,穿着它的人势必就失掉了个性”。符合文意。故选F。
5.G 本段说“尽管制服耐穿,但它们比平常的衣服要贵,有些需要专业干洗成本高”。这些是穿制服带来的实际问题。故选G。解析： 暂无解析 -

第15题：
Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to protnote social change by opening more areas of life to decision.
In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.
Within a society, social changes is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.
Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp difference. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities,because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.
?Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways because__________.A.people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think it necessary to change
B.people there have identical needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty
C.people there are easy to please
D.people there are less disputed答案：A解析：由第一段最后一句“although conditions may not be satisfactory，they are at least customary and undisputed”可知答案为A，此选项是对原文的同义转述。 -

The First Four Minutes
When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends?During their first four minutes
together,according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin.In his book,Contact:The First Four Minutes,he
offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:"________(46)A lot of people's whole
lives would change if they did just that."
You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has
just met._________(47)If anyone has ever done this to you,you probably did not like him very much.
When we are introduced to new people,the author suggests,we should try to appear friendly and
self-confident. In general,he says,"People like people who like themselves".
On the other hand,we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.It is
important to appear interested and sympathetic,realizing that the other person has his own needs,fears,and
hopes.
Hearing such advice,one might say,"But I'm not a friendly,self-confident person.That's not my
nature.It would be dishonest for me to act that way."
__________(48)We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality."It is
like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first,but it goes much better than the old one."
But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that
way?Perhaps,but according to Dr. Zunin,"total honesty"is not always good for social relationships,
especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything,and a certain amount of
play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain
about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people.It is not the time to tell the whole truth
about one's opinions and impressions.
________(49)For a husband and wife or a parent and child,problems often arise during their first
four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be
treated with care.If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed,they should be dealt with later.
The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school,along
with reading,writing,and mathematics.__________(50)That is at least as important as how much we know._________（49）
A:In reply,Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.
B:Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.
C:In his opinion,success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.
D:Every time you meet someone in a social situation,give him your undivided attention for four minutes.
E:He keeps looking over the other person'S shoulder,as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.
F:He is eager to make friends with everyone.答案：B解析：本文主要讲与人初次见面最初四分钟对于人际交往的重要性。文章开头以自问自答 的形式提出主题，然后说Leonard Zunin博士在书中向任何想交新朋友的人提出一条建议。这 条建议肯定与初次见面的最初四分钟有关，比较一下只有D与之相关。而且人们常用祈使句 向别人提建议，D是一个祈使句，它的意思是：“每次你在社交场合遇到什么人时，全神贯注地 注意他四分钟。”和上下文意思连贯。故选D。
承接上一段，本段第一句话告诉我们有人并不按Leonard Zunin博士建议的那样做。显 然此处选E项最合适，因为它陈述的是一个具体行为，且与Leonard Zunin博士的观点相悖。
文章第三、四段建议当被引见给陌生人时，态度应当友好而自信，还应掌握好分寸。对 此，有人会说友好和自信非其本性，如果硬要装出如此态度就是不诚实。这是一种反驳意见， A项可以作为回答，"Zunin博士说只要我们稍加练习就可以改变社交习惯。”下文是对此的进 一步解释。
此前作者主要谈与陌生人相处要注意最初四分钟。从其他句子来看，本段谈的是家庭 成员之间在交往中也应注意在一起的最初四分钟，故B最合适。
本段强调人际关系的重要性，C项意为“他认为人一生中的成功主要依赖于如何与他人 相处。”其意思符合本段主题，后一句的主语that指的就是与人友好相处这件事。第6部分：完形填空 -
