The scientists did a series of eight experiments.They (43)Etheir findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley.They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks.Nearly 45percent of people driving expensive cars (44)Aa pedestrian compared with only 30percent of people driving more (45)Dcars.
In another experiment,a group of college students was asked if they would do unethical(不道德的) things in various everyday situations and (46)Fincluded taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more(47)H.Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.
According to the scientists,rich people often think money can get them out of trouble.This makes them less afraid to take risks.It also means they care less about other people's feelings.
Finally,it (48)Imakes them greedier."Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more,and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest,"said Paul Piff,lead scientist of the study.
Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest.He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their (49)Gand values in different ways.
分析 本文作者主要通过展示几个实验的结果,旨在证明"金钱是一切罪恶的根源"这一说法可能是有一定道理的;文中讲到:2月27日,美国加利福尼亚大学的科学家Berkeley宣布;与穷人相比,富人更有可能做出不道德的事情,如撒谎或欺骗;对于这一论点,科学家们一连串做了八个实验,并将他们的发现发表在了《美国国家科学院院刊》的网络版上;首先,他们在伯克利附近的人行道上做了前两个实验;该实验指出,驾驶较新且较昂贵汽车的司机更容易切断其他车辆和人行横道上的行人;另外一个实验是来自于对大学生的问卷调查,结果表明家庭条件较优越的学生更容易做出不诚实的事情来;有钱人经常认为钱可以帮他们脱离困境,这就使他们不害怕冒险,这也意味着他们很少顾及别人的感受;最后,该项研究的首席科学家Paul Piff指出实验表明无论人们生活在怎样不同的社会环境中,都会以不同的方式表达着他们的本能和价值观.
解答 答案:
41.J 考查谓语动词"Scientists at the University of California,Berkeley,US,(41)on February 27"用在that从句之前,是一个主句;由于该主句中缺少谓语动词;此处的意思是:美国加利福尼亚大学的科学家Berkeley在2月27日宣布;根据句中的时间状语"on February 27"可知,此处应使用动词的过去时;故选J
42.C 考查形容词 此处用在动词do 之后,名词 things之前,所以应使用形容词;根据"such as lie or cheat"列举了像"撒谎和欺骗"这些不道德的事情;故选C
43.E 考查谓语动词 由于本句中缺少谓语,并且根据句中的"the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)"《美国国家科学院院刊》,可推测出:此处指的应是科学家们将他们的发现发表在了该刊物的网络版上;故选E
44.A 考查谓语动词 此处用在主语与宾语之间,所以应选动词;根据上一句"drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks"(驾驶较新且较昂贵汽车的司机更容易切断其他车辆和人行横道上的行人),可推测出本句的意思是:与仅30%驾驶汽车时会比较温和的人相比,有近45%的驾驶昂贵汽车的人会无视行人的存在,故选A
45.D 考查形容词 此处用在名词car之前,故用形容词;意为:比较温和;故选D
46.F 考查名词 根据"included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more(47)."具体地陈述的事例:从单位里拿打印纸以及当售货员多找了零钱后而不告诉他/她;可知此处应与前面的名词 situations 意义相同或相近;意为:事例;故选F
47.H 考查名词 根据上一句中的"…unethical(不道德的) things"可知,此处列举的是:不道德的事情;故可推测出此处的意思应是:当售货员多找了零钱后而不告诉他/她;故选H
48.I 考查副词 此处用在主语与动词之间,应该是用来修饰动词makes,故用副词,本句意为:这只会使他们更加贪婪;故选I
49.G 考查名词 此处用在形容词性的物主代词their之后,应使用名词;根据"the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest"(这些发现并不意味着所有的有钱人都是不可靠的或所有的穷人都是诚实的),可推测出本句的意思是:他说,实验表明无论人们生活在怎样不同的社会环境中,都会以不同的方式表达着他们的本能和价值观;故选G
点评 本题考查的是选词填空;在做类似的题时,首先需要快速浏览全文,掌握文中的大意;其次应逐句分析,根据上下句或上下文的意思,进行逻辑推理,判断出空缺处所在句子的意思;最后,应根据空缺处前后相邻词的词性,从语法的角度分析出空缺处的词性,从而会降低选词的难度.
