One could reason that pessimists, (13) low expectations are so often (14) , would constantly be surprised by joy. “Blessed is (15) who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed,“ wrote poet Alexander Pope in a 1727 letter. (16) , positive-thinking optimists, those who agree that “wh

30、.（分数：20.00）A.listB.selectC.rank D.arrange解析：详细解答 语义衔接题。下句中的 putthe list 说明这是一个排名，因此用 rank 最为恰当。A.topB.middleC.bottom D.front解析：详细解答 逻辑关系题。因为后文提到人们认为不应对外表这类肤浅的东西过多地关注，因此这里应该是排名的最后。A.toB.atC.inD.with 解析：详细解答 固定搭配题。be concerned with：关注。A.lookB.looks C.lookingD.lookings解析：详细解答 名词辨析题。表示人的外貌、外表要用 looks；lo
31、ok 用作名词表示表情、装扮，如：a worried look 担忧的表情；looking：look 的动名词；lookings：不存在。A.deep B.thickC.shallowD.thin解析：详细解答 固定搭配题。skin-deep：肤浅。A.have toB.ought to C.mustD.should解析：详细解答 情态动词辨析题。have to 可以代替 must，表示“必须，不得不”，并可以补充 must所缺的时态。should 和 ought to 都表示“应该”，should 一般表示说话人的主观观点，ought to 比should 语气强，表示来自外界的规则或义务，
32、也可以表示作推测性的结论。本句中这种“不以貌取人”的做法既不是外界的强迫，也并非别人的要求，而是类似于潜规则或一种义务。A.asB.whatC.whichD.that 解析：详细解答 语法关系题。looks matter little(外貌无足轻重)是 intuition 的同位语，因此必须以 that 引导。A.acceptingB.admittingC.refusingD.denying 解析：详细解答 语义衔接题。deny：否认，否定，根据上下文可知，人们否认外表的吸引力，事实上是不愿承认外表的吸引力；而与 refuse 搭配的应该为 opinion，idea 等一类词。A.indica
33、teB.to indicateC.indicating D.indicated解析：详细解答 非谓语动词辨析题。indicating that.是现在分词作 studies 的定语。A.toB.on C.atD.in解析：详细解答 固定搭配题。date 意为“约会”时，应与介词 on 搭配，如：on a first date 第一次约会，go on a date 去约会。A.evaluated B.predictedC.contactedD.communicated解析：详细解答 语义衔接题。evaluate：评价，评估。根据上下文可知这项研究是试图找到约会对象的特点与其吸引力之间的关系，因此
34、这里表示让学生对自己的约会对象进行评估(其吸引力如何)，并猜测自己(被吸引或没有被吸引)的原因。A.whatB.howC.why D.that解析：详细解答 语义衔接题。根据后一句可知，很多男性怀疑外表的重要性，因此这里应该是表示原因。A.believedB.suspected C.confirmedD.argued解析：详细解答 逻辑关系题。根据后一句可知，与男人自己认为相反的情况是，他们比女性更容易受到外表美丽的约会对象的吸引。因此，男人本来是认为外表并不重要。suspect：怀疑(的正确性)。A.to the contrary B.in additionC.in spite of tha
35、tD.similarly解析：详细解答 逻辑关系题。根据“but”一词及后文可知，结果与人们的主观认识相反。A.atB.inC.withD.to 解析：详细解答 固定搭配题。attraction 与介词 to 搭配表示“对产生吸引”。A.recruitedB.enrolledC.matched D.dated解析：详细解答 语义衔接题。根据上下文可知，这是一项通过相亲的方法了解决定男女之间吸引力因素的实验，因此 match 一词最为恰当。recruit：招收(员工、士兵)；enroll：报名(课程)；date：与(某人)约会。A.personality B.appearanceC.achiev
36、ementsD.individuality解析：详细解答 语义衔接题。在这项研究实验中，首先对每个实验的个性及能力(与外表无关的个人因素)打分，再考查这些因素与吸引力之间的关系。根据 aptitude(能力)一词可知最合适的一词应该为personality(个性)。A.interactivelyB.randomly C.preciselyD.systematically解析：详细解答 语义衔接题。虽然对每位实验对象的个性及能力打了分，但他们却是随机地进行配对。A.As long asB.So much so thatC.To the extent thatD.So far as 解析：详细解答
37、 词组辨析题。so far as 相当于 as far as，意为“就来说，在范围内”，引导状语从句，强调程度或范围，从句中动词常用 know,see,concern 等。as long as：只要；so much so that：如此以至于：to the extent that：到达的程度。A.predictedB.mattered C.valuedD.determined解析：详细解答 动词辨析题。matter：要紧，重要，如：It doesnt matter没关系。根据文章的意义，约会对象的个性和能力都与其对异性的吸引力无关，惟一重要的是他们的外表。value 为及物动词。二、Model

43、19) increasing happiness? Not necessarily. Steady improvements in the economy are not (20) by a steady increase in peoples assessments of their own happiness.（分数：20.00）A.specialB.specificC.peculiarD.particular 解析：详细解答 形容词辨析题。根据下文可知此句的意思为“快乐是否垂青于某一特定年龄、性别或收入层次的人群?”particular：某个特定的；special：不同于一般的，特殊的；
44、specific：详细而精确的，确切的；peculiar：奇怪的。A.connectionsB.friendshipC.relationsD.relationships 解析：详细解答 名词辨析题。根据上文可知这里是指人际关系，relation 主要指形式上的关系，而relationship 指密切的交往，因此 relationships 最符合文意。A.storiesB.myths C.legendsD.rumors解析：详细解答 名词辨析题。理解本句的关键在于理解“explode myths”，即破解了一些人们的错误认识。从后文可知，人们对于哪类人群更快乐往往有一些不正确的认识。story
45、：故事；legend：传说；rumor：谣言(散布的不实消息)。A.stress B.pressureC.strainD.tension解析：详细解答 名词辨析题。stress 指人所受的压力及由此引起的困扰、忧虑、不宁等情绪；pressure 可以是物理的压力，而表示人的压力时含有被动的、受压抑的意义；strain 表示受外界压力而造成的身心精疲力竭的结果；tension 指由于冲突而造成关系的紧张状态。根据原文可知，人们的压力一般来自对生活的担忧与困扰并不是因为被动，受到外界压力或是冲突等。A.reducingB.declining C.degeneratingD.deterioratin
46、g解析：详细解答 动词辨析题。四个词都有“下降，变坏”的意义，但人的晚年用 declining years 表示，此处 decline 有“衰弱，衰退”之意。reduce(数字、标准)降低；degenerate：(道德、健康)败坏，变坏；deteriorate(情况、食物)变坏。A.allB.oneC.eitherD.no 解析：详细解答 逻辑关系题。根据上下文可知，作者的观点是幸福感与年龄无关。A.SentimentsB.Emotions C.PassionsD.Moods解析：详细解答 名词辨析题。根据后文，在不同的年龄段，人在情感上会有不同的表现，主要体现为老年人更关注人际关系和健康状况
47、，年轻人情绪多变等。emotion 指人主观的心理状态，有轻微也有强烈的，是比较通用的一个词；mood 则是指短时间里喜怒哀乐的变化；sentiment 指思想感情，看法；passion 则指非常强烈的渴望。A.earlierB.later C.formerD.latter解析：详细解答 逻辑关系题。因为下文说明了青年人的状况，由此推断此处应该指年长的人群。former,latter 则指(已罗列的两个事物中的)前者，后者。A.likeB.unlike C.withD.as解析：详细解答 逻辑关系题。根据上下文，显然少年与成年人在情感上具有不同的特点。A.from B.aroundC.betw
48、eenD.within解析：详细解答 逻辑关系题。因为前词为动词 rebound(弹回，反弹)，后词为 eitheror，从逻辑意义上应该是从两个极端的反弹。如果使用 between，本句的表达要改为(Teens)rebound between gloom and joy。A.hintB.truthC.factD.clue 解析：详细解答 固定搭配题。give clue to：为提供线索。A.favorableB.favorite C.preferableD.popular解析：详细解答 形容词辨析题。本段讨论的是性别与快乐之间的关系，此处便用了拟人的手法，因此需要 favorite：钟爱的，
49、喜爱的。favorable：赞成的，有利的，如：favorable wind 顺风；preferable：更适宜，更称心；popular：流行。A.capacityB.scopeC.strengthD.power 解析：详细解答 名词辨析题。根据文意，男性是否会因为自己较高的收入和在社会中拥有更大的权力而更快乐一些?social power 指在社会中能够控制，约束和影响他人的权力。A.inB.atC.for D.with解析：详细解答 固定搭配题。capacity 必须和介词 for 搭配，表示“具有的能力”。A.gaps B.distancesC.intervalD.disagreement解析：详细解答 语义衔接题。根据后文可知，男人和女人在痛苦时的表现不同，这里的“gap”表示差异。distance：距离，间距；interval：间隔，中间休息；disagreement：分歧，不一致。A.depressB.depressingC.depressed D.depr
