这是一篇阐明文,讲的是人们的Status(身份、地位)这一问题。

51.1.th.firs.paragraph.th.write.tell.u.tha.statuse.ca.hel.u..

A)determinewhetherapersonisfitforacertainjob

B)behaveappropriatelyinrelationtootherpeople

C)protectourselvesinunfamiliarsituations

D)makefriendswithotherpeople

［答案及分析］:［B］事实识别题。问在第一段作者告诉我们人的身份对我们有下列哪

种协助。第一段第一句说得很明白："身份有助于我们和他人相处，决定我们在社会中

所处的地位、饰演的角色"，［B］项意为"对的地与人交往"，正是上述意思。

52.Accordin.t.th.writer.peopl.ofte.assum.differen.statuse..

A)inordertoidentifythemselveswithothers

B)inordertobetteridentifyothers

C)astheirmentalprocesseschange

D)asthesituationchanges

［答案及分析］:［D］事实识别题。问作者认为,在什么状况下人们常常具有不一样的

身份。［A］项意为"为了将自己预其他人区别开"JB］项为"为了更好地识别他人"，［C］

项为"当心剪发生变化时"，［D］项意为"伴随环境的变化"。网、［B］、［C］三项都不

合文章原意,并且根据第二段第一、二句话可知［D］项对的。

53.Th.wor."appraisal.(Line5.Pbabl.mean."

A)involvementB)appreciationC)assessmentD)presentation

［答案及分析］:［C］词义理解题。问第二段第六行中的叩praisal一词的意思是什

么。根据该词所在的句子,可知该词含义和mentalprocess(思想过程)有关,并且也许

与和其并列的词interpretation懈释,阐明,理解)有一定相似之处。involvement意为

”陷入,卷入;牵涉,包括"，assessment意为"估计,评估;所估计之数额〃，

appreciation表达"感谢，感谢;欣赏，评价，赏识"，presentation意为"赠送;提出;引

见,简介;出席,展现;演出"。比较起来,［B］项符合上述两点,并且意思上说得通。

叩praisal的精确意思是"估计，估价,评价"，在此句中"评价"讲。

54.1.nou."it.refer.t."

A)fittingouractionstothoseofotherpeopleappropriately

B)identificationofotherpeople'sstatuses

C)selectingone'sownstatusesD)constantmentalprocess

［答案及分析］:［A］事实识别题。问第二段最终一句中"it"指代什么。根据句意及

其构造可知：it指代thetask,即前一句"wefitoutactionstothoseofpeople

basedonaconstantmentalprocessofappraisalandinterpretation",不难看出

［A］项对的。
