4.

C)constructed

D)built

5.

A)likely

B)possible

C)probable

D)necessary标准答案：B,C,D,A,A

来源：中国职称英语考试网

解析：1．B

这四个词的基本意思是：make：做；judge：判断；date：约会：meet：见面。本文的主题是讲女人找伴侣。从所在句子的表示方式的介词短语byhowmasculinetheirfeaturesare(根据他们男性特征的情况)，选择judge在语义上比较一致。

2.C.

3．D

female：女性的；beautiful：漂亮的；attractive：吸引人的；male：男性的。该题问的是：854个调查对象看了一系列什么样的头部镜头?空格后带的定语从句说“通过数字化使男性特征变得更突出或更不显眼”，因此这样的连续镜头应该是男子的镜头，因此D是答案。

4．A

answer：回答；ask：问；construct：构造；build：建造。该句说“然后他们...关于他们对照片中的人的行为举止是怎么期望的问题”显然，应该是他们应该是回答问题而不是提问题。因此选answered是对的。

5．Alikely：可能的；possible：可能的；probable：可能的；necessary：必然的。合适的选项是likely。其它的选项填入后生成的都是错误的句子。来源：中国职称英语考试网

belikelytodosth可能...

Itis/waspossible/probabletodosth.有可能会...

6.

A)bodies

B)hands

C)arms

D)faces

7.

A)seeming

B)

appearing

C)

looking

D)pretending

8.

A)fast

B)brief

C)quick

D)swift

9.

A)makes

B)causes

C)does

D)forms

10.A)of

B)at

C)for

D)in标准答案：D,C,B,A,C

来源：中国职称英语考试网

解析：6．D

body：躯体；hand：手；arm：手臂；face：脸。由于调查对象看的是男士的头部，因此选face是对的。

7．C

seem：好像；appear：出现；look：看上去；pretend：假装。我们可以说：Thesemenlookverymasculine．这些男人看上去非常男性。也可以说thesemasculinelookingmen。因此用looking是对的。

8．B

fast：快；brief：短暂；quick：快；swirl：快。这里有三个表示“快”的英文词，肯定不是合适的选项。另外，紧随起后的短语是重复，其中有longer(更长一点)这个词，这就提醒我们应该用brief这个词。

9．A

make：制造；cause：使得；do：做，制作；form：形成。makesenses是“说得通”的意思，是固定搭配结构。来源：中国职称英语考试网

10．C

这四个都是介词。responsible后面跟for。26、11.A)normal

B)

ordinary

C)weak

D)strong

12.A)cheat

B)cheats

C)cheated

D)cheating

13.A)must

B)might

C)haveto

D)should

14.A)shown

B)told

C)stated

D)said

15.A)spouses

B)fans

C)partners

D)mates标准答案：D,D,B,A,B

来源：中国职称英语考试网

解析：11．D

normal：正常的；ordinary：普通的；weak：弱：strong：强。and是个并立词。注意and引导的并列结构要求所衔接的词、词组或句子在语义上能匹配–语法结构一致，意义色彩一致。可以看出“strongandhealthy”是匹配的，但是“weakandhealthy”就不匹配。

12．D

这是同一个词表现出的不同形态变化。link后面的to是介词to而不是不定式符号to，因此须用cheating（欺骗）。

13．B

must：必须；might：可能haveto：必须：should：应该。女人根据男人的特征选择伴侣这只是一个因素，因此下结论应该留有余地，用might是比较合适的。

14．A

show：显示；tell：告诉；state：陈述；say：说。除shown之外，told、stated或said填入后生成的句子或者语法错误，或者表意不通顺。

15．B

spouse：配偶；fan：狂热仰慕者；partner：配偶；mate：伴侣。我们的世界知识告诉我们，任何人都不可能有数百万的配偶，所以只有fans是合适的选择。
