     Proper street behavior in the United States requires a nice balance of attention and inattention. You are supposed to look at a 1 just enough to show that you’re 2 of his presence. If you look too little, you appear haughty (目中无人的) or furtive (诡秘的), too much 3 you’re inquisitive. Usually what happens is that people 4 each other until they are about eight feet 5 , at which point both cast down their eyes. Sociologist Erving Goffman 6 this as “a kind of dimming of lights.”
     Much of eye behavior is so 7 that we react to it only on the intuitive level. The next time you have a 8 with someone who makes you feel liked, notice what he does with his eyes. 9 are he looks at you more often than is usual with 10 a little longer than the normal. You interpret this as a sign—a polite one—31 he is interested in you as a person 12 just in the topic of conversation. Probably you also feel that he is both 13 and sincere.
     All this has been demonstrated in elaborate 14 . Subjects sit and talk in the psychologist’s laboratory, 15 of the fact that their eye behavior is being 16 from a one-way vision screen. In one fairly typical experiment, 17 were induced to cheat while performing a task, then were 18 and observed. It was found that those who had 19 met the interviewer’s eyes less often than was 20 , an indication that “shifty eyes” —to u se the mystery writers’ stock phrase—can actually be a tip-off to an attempt to deceive or to feelings of guilt.

     1.[答案] C
     [考点] 上下文推理
     [分析] 四个选项中的词似乎都可填入空格，但根据常识，若对方是朋友，那么你就不可能仅仅是看看而已，故[A]friend不恰当;上下文中也没有线索表示你看的是一个外国人，所以[B]foreigner也不恰当。[D] stranger(陌生人)可以指马路上你不认识的任何人。但从上下文看，你所看的是离你较近的人(about eight feet apart)，因此[C]passerby(过路人)要比[D]stranger更符合上下文的意思，因此[C]是正确答案。
     2.[答案] A
     [考点] 形容词辨析
     [分析] 本题要求填入后接of的形容词。[B]curious(好奇的)和[D]uneasy(不安的)后接about,可首先排除;[C]ignorant(不知道的)后接of，但填入句子与句意发生矛盾，故也不是正确答案;[A]aware(知道的，有意识的)后接of，填入后符合句意，所以是正确答案。
     3.[答案] C
     [考点] 句子结构的理解
     [分析] 空格所在的句子是省略句，与上句并列。由上文可知，本句意为“如果你看得太多，则显得你很好奇”。空析中应填入一个表示条件关系的连接词。[A]so(因此)表示结果，[B]or表示选择，[D]but表示转折。只有[C]and在连接两个分句时，可以表示条件，因此是正确答案。
     4.[答案] D
     [考点] 近义动词辨析
     [分析] 四个选项的词均有“看”的意思。[A]peep表示“偷看”;[B]stare表示“盯，凝视”;[C]gaze表示“凝视，注视”;[D]eye表示“看，注视”。但前三项都是不及物动词，只有eye是及物动词，符合句子的语法要求，因此[D]是正确答案。
     5.[答案] B
     [考点] 近义副词辨析
     [分析] [A]aside意为“在旁边”;[B]apart意为“(两者之间)相距，相隔”;[C]away意为“离开，远离(某一特定地点或目标)”;[D]ahead意为“在前，向前”。根据句意，空格中应填入[B]apart。句意是“通常发生的情况是，人们互相注视着，直到相距约八英尺时，双方都把目光投向别处。”
     6.[答案] B
     [考点] 动词辨析
     [分析] 本题要求填入一个能与as搭配的动词。四个选项的动词中，只有[B]describes(描述，概括)能与as搭配，因而是正确答案。其他三个选项[A]demonstrates(证明,说明)，[C]deduces(推断)和[D]designates(指明，指出)虽然从意思上说似乎讲得通，但都不与as搭配，因此都不正确。
     7.[答案] C
     [考点] 近义词辨析
     [分析] 本句意思是“眼睛的许多动作是如此____以至于我们只是在直觉上对它作出反应。“[A]vague意为“含糊的，不明确的”;[B]obscure意为“朦胧的，模糊的”;[C]subtle意为“微妙的，细致的”;[D]uncertain意为“不定的，不确知的”。从句意分析，空析中应填入[C]subtle。
     8.[答案] D
     [考点] 上下文推理
     [分析] [C]greeting(问候，致敬)不能与动词have搭配，因此可选排除;[A]discussion和[B]communication可以和have搭配，但从本段倒数第二句中in the topic of conversation可以得到线索，空格中应该填入[D]conversation,而不是discussion或communication。

     9.[答案] A
     [考点] 近义词辨析
     [分析] 根据句意，空析中应填入一个表示“可能性”的词，[B]Possibilities意为“可能性”，但常以单数的形式出现在以下句型中：There is a possibility that…,不能用于Possibilities are…;[C]Opportunities意为“机会”，[D]Expectations意为“期望，预期”，两者从意思上均不符合句意;[A]Chances降表示“机会”外，还可表示“可能性”，且可用于以下句型：There is a/the chance that…和Chances are…。因此正确答案为[A]。
     10.[答案] A
     [考点] 上下文推理
     [分析] 本段讨论是眼睛的微妙动作。由上文notice what he does with his eyes可推断，空格中不可能填入[B]touches(触摸);[D]sights意为“视力，视觉”，用在句子中与句意不合;空格所在的结构是对句子中“看”这一动作的进一步说明，因此[C]talks也不恰当，而应选择[A]glances(匆匆看)。整个句子的意思是“他看你的次数很可能比通常时候多，匆匆看你的时间也比一般的要长。”
     11.[答案] D
     [考点] 句子结构理解
     [分析] 本题要求填入一个连接主句和从句的连接词。由于从句本身是一个结构完整的句子，因此这里显然不能填入引导定语从句的[B]which。从句意分析，从句相对于主句而言，既不表示原因，也不表示时间，而是对主句中的sign进行解释，因此是个同位语从句，需用that引导。[A]why和[C]when均不正确。
     12.[答案] B
     [考点] 上下文推理
     [分析] 由上文he looks at you more often than is usual with glances a little longer than the normal可推断，对方是对你而不是对谈话的主题感兴趣，因此正确答案应选[B]rather than(而不是)，其他选项[A]other than(除了)，[C]better than(比……好)和[D]less than(比……少)，均与上文不符合。
     13.[答案] A
     [考点] 形容词辨析
     [分析] 句子中的both…and…是一个表示并列关系的连接词组。由and 之后的sincere(真诚的)可推断，四个选项中只有[A]self-confident(自信的)与sincere可以用both… and来连接,[B]self-conscious(不自然的，害羞的)，[C]self-contented(自满的)和[D]self-centered(自我为中心的)，在语义上均不能与sincere并列使用。
     14.[答案] C
     [考点] 上下文推理
     [分析] 由下文的subjects(实验对象)， laboratory(实验室)等词可推断，空格中需填入的词应是[C]experiments(实验)，其他选项[A]surveys(调查)，[B]observations(观察)和[D]interviews(面谈)均不正确。
     15.[答案] B
     [考点] 形容词辨析
     [分析] 从语法结构看，空格中要求填入一个能与介词of搭配的形容词，四个选项的词中，[D]indifferent(冷淡的，不关心的)后接with，因此从语法角度看可首先排除。[A] conscious(意识到的)，[B]innocent(不知道的)和[C]suspicious(多疑的，疑心的)均可与of搭配，但根据常识，实验往往是在实验对象并不知情的情况下进行的，因此这里选[A]conscious或[C]suspicious似乎讲不通，合理的选择应是[B]innocent。
     16.[答案] D
     [考点] 近义动词辨析
     [分析] 本句相关部分的意思是：“受试者坐在心理学实验室里说话，全然不知他们的眼睛的动作正通过单向的视屏被____”。[B]analyzed(分析)和[C]interpreted(解释，说明)似乎与句意不合，一般情况下，实验过程中应该是先观察然后对观察结果进行分析或解释，所以正确答案应为[D]observed(观察)。[A]noticed(注意到)表示瞬间的动作，用于句子中也明显不对。
     17.[答案] C
     [考点] 上下文推理
     [分析] 根据上下文，在实验中被引诱作假的显然应该是[C]subjects(受试者)，而不可能是[A]interviewers(访谈人)、[B]applicants(申请人)或[D]psychologists(心理学家)。
     18.[答案] B
     [考点] 上下文推理
     [分析] 本句概括的是某一实验的过程。由下文中的the interviewer’s eyes可获得线索，空格中最为恰当的词应是[B]interviewed(面谈，采访)。[A]inquire(询问，打听)后接about/of，[D]interfered(干涉，妨碍)后接in/with，两者从意义和语法角度看均不合适。[C]investigated意为“调查”，用在句子中也不符合上下文意思的要求。
     19.[答案] B
     [考点] 上下文推理
     [分析] 句子中的those指subjects，空格中需填入一个表示他们已做的动作的词，由上文可知，这里应填入的词为[B]cheated (作弊)。若填[A]induced(引诱)，则本句的意思与上句发生矛盾。[C]distracted (打扰，扰乱)和[D]realized(意识到)均是及物动词，从意义和语法角度看均不正确。
     20.[答案] D
     [考点] 近义词辨析
     [分析] [A]common指“普通的，共同的”，[B] average指“通常的，一般的”，[C] ordinary指“普通的”，[D]normal指“正常的”。根据句意，空格中应填入[D]normal。句子的意思是：“那些作了假的人看访谈人的次数要比在正常情况下少”。
     In the United States, the first day nursery was opened in 1854. Nurseries were established in various areas during the 1 half of the 19th century; most of 2 were charitable. Both in Europe and in the U. S., the day nursery movement received great 3 during the First World War, when 4 of manpower caused the industrial employment of unprecedented numbers of women. In some European countries nurseries were established 5 in munitions plants, under direct government sponsorship. 6 the number of nurseries in the U.S. also rose 7 , this rise was accomplished without government aid of any kind. During the years following the First World War, 8 , Federal State, and local governments gradually began to exercise a measure of control 9 the day nurseries, chiefly by 10 them.
     The 11 of the Second World War was quickly followed by an increase in the number of day nurseries in almost all countries, as women were 12 called up on to replace men in the factories. On this 13 the U.S. government immediately came to the support of the nursery schools, 14 $ 6,000,000 in July, 1942, for a nursery school program for the children of working mothers. Many States and local communities 15 this Federal aid. By the end of the war, in August, 1945, more than 100,000 children were being cared 16 in daycare centers receiving Federal 17 .Soon afterward, the Federal government 18 cut clown its expenditures for this purpose and later 19 them, causing a sharp drop in the number of nursery schools in operation. However, the expectation that most employed mothers would leave their 20 at the end of the war was only partly fulfilled.
