1、[RI]

標準答案：E

知識點解析：本文論述了微笑、眼神等體態(tài)語。第1段的第1句話是全文的主旨

句。即：面部表情所傳達的含義取決于所處的環(huán)境和關(guān)系。那么后文需要舉例論證

這個觀點。選項E：“例如，微笑這一典型的表示愉快的表情有很多不同的作用?！?/p>

與空格前后句相呼應(yīng)。

2、[R2]

標準答案：B

知識點解析：空格前一句提到對朋友眨眼睛可能是說“這是你和我之間的秘密”或

“開個玩笑”，選項B也是與wink（眨眼）有關(guān)的，說明了wink在不同場景時的不同

含義，符合本段主旨，是正確選項。

3、[R3]

標準答案：C

知識點解析：瀏覽第2段，此段講述了面部表情的表達與個人和文化之間的關(guān)系。

那么，選項C正好可以作為本段的主旨句。

4、[R4]

標準答案：A

知識點解析：第2段的前半部分說明了不同文化背景的人面部表情的表達程度不

同。后半部分以美國人為例說明了個體表達之間的差別。選項A：“美國人在不同

5、[R5]

標準答案：D

知識點解析：第2段的結(jié)尾句應(yīng)結(jié)合前文觀點，即：不同的人面部表情程度不一

樣。由此可知應(yīng)該選D：“有的人就像一本能讀懂的書，有的人很難讀懂?！?/p>

6、[R6]

標準答案：F

知識點解析：第3段論述了適度的眼神交流的重要性?？崭竦南卵棉D(zhuǎn)折詞

however說明了陌生人也會進行眼神交流。那么空格處應(yīng)該是交代眼神交流的適用

規(guī)則。選項F：“對于面部表情來說，除了認為盯著別人（特別是陌生人）看很不禮貌

以外，沒有就眼部的表現(xiàn)做出具體的規(guī)定?！?/p>

7、[R7]

標準答案：H

知識點解析：空格上句提及strangers之間的眼神交流，那么空格處應(yīng)該是陌生人

之間另外一種表現(xiàn)。選H符合題意，即：“陌生人可能很快轉(zhuǎn)移視線，忘記他們曾

經(jīng)有過任何接觸?！?/p>

8、[R8]

標準答案：G

知識點解析：空格的上句提及過短的眼神交流對交談的負面影響：會表示對談話缺

乏興趣、猜疑等。那么選項G用一個俗語很形象地論證了這個觀點：“永遠也不要

相信不敢看著你的眼睛的人?！?/p>

友誼和友好，那么空格處應(yīng)該選A：“友誼和友好不是同義詞。”

21、[R5]

標準答案：B

知識點解析：從本段的最后一句話可以得出結(jié)論，陌生人見面打招呼也可能是出于

禮節(jié)，而不總是希望繼續(xù)發(fā)展友誼。所以空格處選B：“坦暫的相遇并不總是意味

著進一步的交往”，符合題意。

22、[R6]

標準答案：G

知識點解析：第3段講述了美國人和外國朋友打交道的之俗?？崭竦暮缶渲赋觯?/p>

照應(yīng)。

18、[R2]

標準答案：C

利潤的活動和企業(yè)，這些活動和企業(yè)提供經(jīng)濟系統(tǒng)必需的商品和服務(wù)。''下文則分

別闡述了“goods”和“services”。由空格處的下句的引導(dǎo)詞“others”可以推出，空格處

19、[R3]

標準答案：F

知識點解析：空格的前句舉了?個提供無形服務(wù)的公司的例子：德國的MunichRe

公司。那么空格處則可以具體說明它的服務(wù)內(nèi)容。選項F符合題意，“itsbusiness”

項。

21、[R5]

標準答案：H

知識點解析：前文指出，成功的商人除了追求利潤之外，還要承擔社會和道德責(zé)

任。選項H：“這意味著：如果公司想長期成功，那么它們在對待其雇員、顧客、

供應(yīng)商、競爭對手、政府以及普通大眾方面就必須負責(zé)任。''是對商人責(zé)任的進一

步說明，是正確選項。

22、[R6]

標準答案：D

知識點解析：因為第3段主要論述商人的社會責(zé)任以及道德，所以空格處選D：

“我們將在第4章更全面地探討社會責(zé)任和商業(yè)道德。”符合題意。

23、[R7]

標準答案：A

1、[RI]

標準答案：G

知識點解析：文章開頭一句意為：”在娛樂界，各種電視脫口秀在白天電視節(jié)目中

無所不在?！本銰中的“them”就是指這些脫口秀節(jié)目，因為各種脫口秀節(jié)目太多

了，所以經(jīng)常看的人就會對每個節(jié)目的風(fēng)格及形式有所了解。

2、[R2]

標準答案：E

知識點解析：文章的第2段主要是關(guān)于脫口秀主持人JerrySpringer的。第1句提

出JerrySpringer很容易被認為是垃圾談話節(jié)目之土，第3句以舉例的形式指出他

的談話節(jié)目從不同的角度討論最常見的話題，也就是說Jerry的節(jié)目與眾不同。句

E也說明Jerry的節(jié)目超出一般人的預(yù)想。因此選E。

3、[R3]

標準答案：H

知識點解析：句H道出了Jerry節(jié)目的實質(zhì)，是總結(jié)性的句子，因此為正確選項。

4、[R4]

標準答案：B

知識點解析：第3段主要是關(guān)于另一個脫口秀主持人Oprah的，句B介紹Oprah節(jié)

目的主要話題，后句提到一些話題，與之相對應(yīng)，因此B正確。

5、[R5]

標準答案：A

知識點解析：本段提到Jerry節(jié)目的一個特點，即用一個，不同word”結(jié)尾，句A是

對finalword作的解釋，即對整個節(jié)目做的總結(jié)。因此A正確。

6、[R6]

標準答案：C

知識點解析：本段開頭提出，Oprah的節(jié)目不是面對每一位觀眾的，也就是說只是

面對一部分觀眾。句C指出了Oprah的FI標觀眾主要是中產(chǎn)階級的美國人，從語

義上與第1句緊密連接，因此選C。

7、[R7]

標準答案：F

知識點解析：本段乂提到了Jerry的目標觀眾是年輕的成人。句F中的“these”指前

句中的“youngadultsofsociety”。因為18~20歲的人正是年輕的成人，句F介紹了

這一部分人在生活中的主要問題。因為有了問題，所以他們想要在節(jié)目中尋找答

案，句F又與最后一句密切相關(guān)，因此選F。

8、[R8]

標準答案：D

知識點解析：本段提出Opmh與Jerry的節(jié)目截然不同，句D是截然不同的根本原

因，因為目標觀眾不同，節(jié)目內(nèi)容、風(fēng)格肯定也不會相同，因此D為正確選項。
