Most people also said that they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them.But Human and Aknin wondered if this approach to giving failed to take advantage of the w

66、ay we connect as people. So they sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mothers Day. Half were told to buy a card that “reveals(揭示) your knowledge of the recipient” while the others set out to buy a card that “reveals your true self”. After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly o

67、f themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers.To find out how that approach goes down with recipients, the psychologists did another test, asking more than 100 students to choose a song on iTunes to give to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group received the s

Results revealed that recipients of songs that revealed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind.Human and Aknin suggest it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the un

In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipients practical needs o

70、r tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind.Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act, the psychologists added. Because it reduces the risk of revealing poor knowledge of a recipient by attempting to buy something that fits their character and failing.But a note of caution here:

71、 what the research does not examine is the potential risk in repeated, unsympathetic giver-centered giving, which, according to Human and Aknin “could signal self-obsession” and nobody wants to reveal that about themselves.44. From the Mothers Day card test, we can conclude that .A. gifts chosen wit

75、44. A 45. C 46. A 47. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章介绍了送礼的心理学。【44题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段After the purchase, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling emotionally closer to their mothers.（在购买礼物后，那些曾考虑过自己的送礼者报告说，他们在情感上与母亲更亲近了）由此推断出，从母亲节卡片测试中，我们可以得出这样的结论：在挑选礼物时考虑到送礼人的心意，这样做对送礼人很有效果。故选A。【45题详解】推

76、理判断题。根据第五段 “If building stronger social connections is the underlying (潜在的)goal” of a gift and surely it should be then we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”.（如果建立更强的社会联系是礼物的“基本目标”，当然也应该是那么我们“很可能被建议提供更多的自我反思的礼物”。）由此可知，作者认为送礼的意义是建立和加强社会联系。故选C。【46题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段In short, for a p

77、resent to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely suit the recipients practical needs or tastes as one acquired purely with that in mind.（简而言之，要想让一份礼物有意义，你需要付出自己的一部分，即使这份礼物可能不太符合收礼人的实际需要或品味，而只是单纯地出于这种考虑）由此可知，Human和Aknin关于送礼的建

78、议是选择更能反映你自己的礼物。故选A。【47题详解】主旨大意题。第二段In 2015, psychologists Lauren Human and Lara Aknin conducted an online survey, which suggested that when people buy gifts, they prefer to choose something based on the recipients personality and tastes.（2015年，心理学家Lauren Human和Lara Aknin进行了一项在线调查，调查显示，人们在购买礼物时，更倾向于根

79、据接受者的性格和品味来选择礼物）是全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章介绍了送礼的心理学，所以这篇文章最好的题目是“送礼的心理学”。故选D。【点睛】细节理解题大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。正确选项虽然一般不是原文照搬，但是一般是原文的改写，意

80、思不变。如换一个同义词，把否定改为肯定，把肯定改为否定等。如第2小题，根据第五段 “If building stronger social connections is the underlying (潜在的)goal” of a gift and surely it should be then we “may well be advised to offer more self-reflective gifts”.（如果建立更强的社会联系是礼物的“基本目标”，当然也应该是那么我们“很可能被建议提供更多的自我反思的礼物”。）由此可知，作者认为送礼的意义是建立和加强社会联系。故选C。CAs t

83、 special effects made for children and teenagers. Nor must we ignore the economic dangers that lie ahead for the written word. The narrative film industry is a moneymaker that dwarfs(使相形见绌) the publishing industry.The other underlying question, of course, is “does it really matter if the written wor

84、d bows to the world of film/TV?” From my point of view, any diminishment of fiction delivered by words is a loss for mankind.There is no greater human feature than the imagination It lies at the very soul of the human species. It is the brains most powerful engine. It is the essential muscle of life

90、发展让文字变得相形见绌，作者认为文字是激发和增强我们想象力的重要工具，同时表达了对阅读的命运的担心。【48题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The narrative film industry is a moneymaker that dwarfs(使相形见绌) the publishing industry.”可知，叙事电影行业是一个令出版行业相形见绌的赚钱行业，由此可知，叙事电影行业在经济利益方面使文字变得尴尬，故A项正确。【49题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Writing and reading are the principal tools that inspire, cre

91、ate and empower our imagination.”可知，写作和阅读是激发、创造和增强我们想象力的主要工具，由此可知，作者重视文字的作用是因为它能提高我们的想象力，故B项正确。【50题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I have always felt it necessary to adapt to advancing technology.”可知，作者觉得有必要适应先进的技术，由此可知，作者对技术持积极的态度，故C项正确。【51题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“My hope is that the written word will only stand to

92、be complemented(补充)by its visual counterparts(对应物), not pushed to the edge of extinction.”可知，作者希望书面文字会得到视觉文字的补充，而不是被推到灭绝的边缘，由此可知，作者担心的是阅读的命运，故A项正确。【点睛】涉及到观点态度的推理判断题难度较大，关键在于对能够间接体现人物态度的语句的理解，这类句子通常以“I believe/think/feel”的形式出现，例如本篇第3题，根据倒数第二段中的“It should be known that I am not opposed to new media an

93、d technological advances. Instead, I have always felt it necessary to adapt to advancing technology.”可知，我并不反对新媒体，相反，我觉得有必要适应先进的技术，由此可知，作者对技术的态度是积极的。DPeople size you up in seconds, but what exactly are they evaluating(评价)？ Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy has been studying first impression

94、s alongside fellow psychologists Susan Fiske and Peter Glick for more than 15 years, and has discovered patterns in these interactions(互动). In her new book, “Presence”, Cuddy says people quickly answer two questions when they first meet you: Can I trust this person? Can I respect this person?Psychol

95、ogists refer to these factors as warmth and competence(胜任) respectively, and ideally you want to be considered as having both. Interestingly, Cuddy says that most people, especially in a professional environment, believe that competence is the foremost factor. After all, they want to prove that they

96、 are smart and talented enough to qualify your business.But in fact warmth, or trustworthiness, is the most important factor in how people evaluate you. “From an evolutionary view,” Cuddy says, “it is more important to our survival to know whether a person deserves our trust.” It makes sense when yo

97、u consider that in cavemen days it was more important to figure out if your fellow man was going to kill you and steal all your possessions than if he was competent enough to build a good fire.Cuddys new book explores how to feel more confident. While competence is highly valued, Cuddy says it is ev

99、s unapproachable.These overachievers are in for a rude awakening when they dont get the job offer because nobody got to know and trust them as people. “If someone youre trying to influence doesnt trust you, youre not going to get very far; in fact, you might even cause doubt because you come across

100、as manipulative(会 摆布人的),” Cuddy says. “A warm, trustworthy person who is also competent gains admiration, but only after youve established trust does your strength become a gift rather than a threat.”52. What does the passage mainly tell about?A. People judge you on your look and mind at first sight

101、.B. People judge you on your presence at first sight.C. People judge you on your interaction at first sight.D. People judge you on your warmth and competence initially.53. The underlined word “foremost” can be replaced by .A. very valuableB. changingC. extremely importantD. accessible54. Why does Cu

103、egative attitude to overachieversD. says people who want to influence others are approachable【答案】52. D 53. C 54. C 55. B【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了人们最初会根据你的热情和能力来评价你。但是只有建立信任，你的能力才能得到认可。【52题详解】主旨大意题。第二段Psychologists refer to these factors as warmth and competence(胜任) respectively, and ideally you want to be

104、considered as having both.（心理学家将这些因素分别称为热情和能力，理想情况下，你希望被认为两者兼备）是全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了人们最初会根据你的热情和能力来评价你。故选D。【53题详解】词义猜测题。下文After all, they want to prove that they are smart and talented enough to qualify your business.说毕竟，他们想要证明他们有足够的聪明才智来胜任你的工作。由此可知Interestingly, Cuddy says that most people, esp

105、ecially in a professional environment, believe that competence is the foremost factor.意思是有趣的是，Cuddy说，大多数人，尤其是在专业环境中，认为能力是最重要的因素。“foremost”意思是极其重要的，故选C。【54题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段It makes sense when you consider that in cavemen days it was more important to figure out if your fellow man was going to kill you

106、and steal all your possessions than if he was competent enough to build a good fire.（当你考虑到在穴居时代，弄清楚你的同伴是否会杀了你并偷走你所有的财产比弄清楚他是否有足够的能力生火更重要，这是有道理的）由此推断出，Cuddy提到穴居时代是为了强调信任的重要性。故选C。【55题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段Cuddy says. “A warm, trustworthy person who is also competent gains admiration, but only after youve est

107、ablished trust does your strength become a gift rather than a threat.”（ Cuddy说：“一个热情、值得信赖、有能力的人会得到别人的赞赏，但只有在你建立了信任之后，你的力量才会成为一种礼物，而不是威胁。”）由此推断出，Amy Cuddy认为信任是基础。故选B。第 II 卷V根据所给的首字母和中文写出所缺单词的完整形式56.
