1.D pleasure表示“愉快、快乐”的意思,A、B、D中它的概括性最强,指高兴、满意、兴奋等多种欢乐的感觉。
2.B 上下文表示除了快乐之外,它还可用“表明”你的爱,有礼貌等。show在此表示“表明”,下文最后一段亦有提示。
3.C 此处用cover 与上文的show意思相同,表示“包括、涵盖”,下文第9空后面也有提示,表示smile 可用于多种场合。suggest 表示“表明,使人想起”,此处不宜使用。
4.A 完形填空解题时要充分利用上下文的暗示。后文提到美国人、俄罗斯人,又提到东南亚cultures . 下文多次提到culture,因此选A不选C。
5.B 此处在意:俄罗斯人往往在公共场所带微笑盯着陌生人看好久,以表明他们对对方起了疑心或没把握。即便如此,他们还指责美国人微笑。此处可别选consider 。
6.B 俄罗斯人不同,同样是对陌生人,美国人的态度是很随和地微笑。
7.B 不是笑的方式不对(C),时间不对(at the wrong time),而是场合不对(B),对陌生人怎么能没有任何戒心地(freely),笑呢?
8.A 指他们的生活中微笑太少,不是笑的“好”与“坏,因此不选D”。
9.C 人们常常把微笑用于这些场合。Always表示“一直”,用在此处不太好。
10.B 全文讲述smile , facial expressions,当然选B了。
11.B 本句承上启下,正因为上文提到笑的文化差异,因此我们千万不能像下面描述的那样去做。couldn’t 语气太委婉。
12.A as 引导状语从句,表示“像我们解读同一文化渊源的人一样去理解不同文化背景的别人”,与第11空相联,我们可能(can’t 或shouldn’t)这么做。
13.D 四个词中只有degree 能与上下文搭配,表示“脸部表情变化的程度”。
14.A that 引导的同位语从句选一个statement/fact,而不是其它三个选项的意思。
15.D express 一词在本文中已多次出现,这一题应该不难,从首句facial expressions 到本段落最后部分expressing their emotions … 均表明D是正确项。
16.A 请参看第12空前的有people from another culture 。记住,完形填空一定得充分
利用上下文。
17.D 从上下文可知,并非他们没有感情方面的体验,而是其文化背景使之不能自由表露情感。
18. judge … by/according to 表示“根据……来判断”。
19.D cultural pattern指“文化模式”,pattern表示“模式、方式”。
20.A 既然是make mistakes , 当然是“不正确/不恰当”所致。
