题目内容

18．The well-dressed gentleman ________ we thought was general manager of the company was in fact his assistant．（　　）

A．

of whom

B．

who

C．

whom

D．

which

分析这位衣着考究的绅士，我们都以为是这家公司的总经理，而事实上是他的助理．

解答答案：B 题干中we thought was general manager of the company是作gentleman的定语，是一个定语从句；从句中缺少主语，要用关系代词；先行词是人，故选B．

点评定语从句是用来修饰名词的形容词性从句，相当于一个形容词．连接定语从句的引导词分为关系代词和关系副词，关系代词在从句中要作主语或宾语；关系副词在从句中作状语．这也是选择关系词的一个判断方法．

9．All the customers who went to the new supermarket had one strong wish to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay（61）for her shopping，for the notice inside the entrance（62）said（say），"Remember，once a week，one of our customers gets free goods．This may be your lucky day!"

6．Last month，James Connolly，a junior at the University of Massachusetts，stood in front of a local police station wearing a loose garment as punishment．His crime？He was charged with underage drinking，illegal possession of alcohol and very big noise while holding a party．
    This shaming punishment has increased in the US in recent years，mostly decided by local judges for less-serious crimes such as drunk driving and theft．They believe shame is the best small crime punishment．For example，in Tennessee，Judge James McKenzie has made a shoplifter stand outside Wal-Mart with signs that read，"I'm a thief put here by order of Judge McKenzie．"
    Some experts think alternative punishments like community service and fines don't convey moral condemnation （谴责） of the criminal because they aren't shameful enough．Shaming punishments are sometimes called Scarlet Letter punishments．The name comes from US author Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel，The Scarlet Letter．In this novel，a woman is forced to wear a scarlet （ red）"A"on her clothes as punishment for her adultery．
   Supporters of shaming punishment argue that public shaming is a good way of expressing community values．Some judges say shamed offenders seldom repeat their crimes．Others aren't so sure．"There is little evidence to suggest that shaming punishment are successful in preventing people from committing special crimes．And a shamed criminal may face a hard battle to regain reputation in society．So a shaming punishment may force the offender into more crime to support himself．"

13．Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes．"Shoes convey a thin but useful slice of information about their wearers，"the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality．"Shoes serve a practical purpose，and also serve as nonverbal cues（线索）with symbolic messages．People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear．"
    Medical Daily notes that the number of detailed personality traits（特质）detected in the study include a person's general age，income，political tendency，and other personality traits，including someone's emotional stability．Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style，cost，color and condition of someone's shoes．In the study，63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants．Participants in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes，and then filled out a personality questionnaire．
    So，what do your shoes say about your personality？Some of the results were expected：People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes，and flashier footwear was typically worn by outgoing people．However，some of the more specific results are interesting．For example，"practical and functional"shoes were generally worn by more"friendly"people，while ankle boots were more closely connected with"aggressive"personalities．The strangest of all may be that those who wore"uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to have"calm"personalities．
    And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them，you may suffer from"attachment anxiety，"spending too much time worrying about what other people think of your appearance．There was even a political calculation in the mix with wearing"shabbier and less expensive"shoes．
    The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality traits，but researchers pointed out that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were revealing deep insights into their personalities．

8．

Have you heard of the"Doomsday（世界末日）clock"？
While the name sounds particular enough to draw our attention，there is no way to actually predict doomsday．The clock is a visual way of representing the dangers our world faces and the urgency to act-with midnight symbolizing doomsday．
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists，the organization that maintains（维护）the clock，decided to keep the clock at 3minutes to midni-the same as last year．Despite the Iran nuclear deal that weakened the threat（威胁）of nuclear war，the organization continues to worry about the lack of progress on other global issues of concern．
The clock was created nearly 70years ago by a group of scientists who had worked on the Manhattan project-that created the world's first atomic bomb．The bombs were dropped on two Japanese cities．Though it brought an end to one of the worst wars in human history，the bombs also exposed the world to the dangers of nuclear technology．
One of the nuclear physicists on the Manhattan project was married to an artist named Martyl Kangsdorf．It was Martyl's idea to create a clock and set the hand to seven minutes to midnight when it first created．
Since then，the clock has been a powerful way to show humanity how close the world is to catastrophe due to human action．To maintain this clock，every year twenty members of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists gather together and assess the biggest threats to humanity．When scientists looked back at the events of 2015．two significant threats continued to exist-climate change and investment in nuclear weapons by various nations around the world．
According to the scientists，we may be able to avoid disaster if humanity reduces spending on nuclear weapons，sharply reduces greenhouse gases，deals with commercial nuclear waste，and makes agreements to prevent the misuse of new technologies．

32．The Doomsday clock was created forD．
A．reminding people of the painful past
B．correcting time to the same standard
C．predicting the doomsday of the world
D．warning humanity of the urgent threats
33．What does the underlined word"it"in Paragraph 4refer to？C
A．The doomsday clock． B．The first atomic bomb．
C．Dropping the atomic bombs． D．The Manhattan project．
34．What are considered the most urgent threats that today's world faces？A
A．Climate change and nuclear weapons．
B．High-tech war and space research．
C．Extreme poverty and serious diseases．
D．Natural disasters and low birth rate．
35．What can be inferred from this passage？D
A．Human beings have no way to deal with their urgent threats．
B．The world will continuously face more threats whatever we do．
C．Martyl created the Doomsday clock just to amuse local citizens．
D．Most threats we face now are actually caused by humanity itself．
