Anthropology is a science which deals with man and his social habits.I think of anthropology here as “being interested,without  1  ,in the way other people choose to live and  2  .”-When you are curious about the way someone behaves or the way  3  feel about something,it’s  4  that you will be annoyed(恼火).

   When someone acts in a way that seems  5  to you,rather than react in your usual way,such as “I can’t believe they would do that,”  6  say something to yourself like “I see,that must be the way they  7  things in their world.Very interesting.” In order in this  8  to help you,you have to be genuine(真诚的).

   Recently I was at a shopping mall with my six-year old daughter  9  a group of punk rockers walked by with orange spiked hair and tattoos(文身) covering much of their bodies.At the sight of them,my daughter immediately asked me,“Daddy,why are they  10  like that?”Years ago I would have felt very  11  with such young people.I would have given a judgmental explanation and passed along to her my  12  .Pretending to be an anthropologist,however,has  13  my perspective(看法) a great deal,so it’s made me  14  .I said to my daughter,“I’m not really sure,but it’s interesting how  15  we all are,isn’t it?” she said,“Yeah,  16  I like my own hair.”

   When you are interested in other perspectives,it doesn’t mean you’re  17  them.I certainly wouldn’t choose a punk rock lifestyle or  18  it to anyone else.At the same time,however,it’s really not my  19  to judge it either.One of the most important rules of joyful living is that judging others takes a great deal of energy and  20  you away from where you want to be.

1.A.agreement                  B.judgment

C.improvement                 D.entertainment

答案:B

提示:without judgment的意思是“不加判断地”,相当于下文解释该句的curious。

2.A.behave         B.speak        C.grow        D.eat

答案:A

提示:B、C、D三项表示的都是behave(行为)的具体表现,此处的A项正好和下文的解释相吻合。

3.A.you         B.they         C.I          D.we

答案:B

提示:英文中常用they来指代someone。

4.A.natural        B.certain        C.obvious       D.impossible

答案:D

提示:既然你对别人的生活和行为感兴趣,那么你也就不可能感到不安了。

5.A.normal      on       C.strange       D.passive

答案:C

提示:从下文“rather than react in your usual way”来看,此处是“别人的行为方式使你感到奇怪”。

6.A.just        B.also         C.still         D.never

答案:A

提示:可由when引导的从句到“...they would do that”为止,say是祈使句中的谓语,由此开始是告诫自己的话,因此,say之前用just。

7.A.make       B.find         C.see          D.get

答案:C

提示:see在此相当于regard(看待)。make things表示“制造物品”;find things表示“(丢失后)找到物品”;get things表示“得到物品”,均与题意不符。

8.A.person         B.way       C.interest        D.word

答案:B

提示:第二段谈论的都是别人或者自己的“行为方式”,因此此处表示的是“为了让这种方式对你有益”。

9.A.while          B.until       C.since         D.when

答案:D

提示:when在此处是并列连词,相当于and suddenly。

10.A.tried on        B.grown up     C.acted out       D.dressed up

答案:D

提示:在这四个选项中,只有D项可以用于被动语态,表示“打扮”,和上文描述的那群人发型相吻合。

11.A.pleased        B.interested      C.bored         D.excited

答案:C

提示:其他三项都表示积极意义,只有C项表示消极意义。从下文看,作者对那群人的穿衣打扮是“厌烦的”。

12.A.views        B.questions      C.advice         D.plan

答案:A

提示:views在此相当于opinion,表示“意见,看法”。

13.A.blocked      ged      C.enlarged        D.raised

答案:B

提示:上文谈论的是以前的看法,此处谈论的是现在不同的看法,因此说,看法已有了改变。

14.A.softer        B.higher       C.happier        D.angrier

答案:A

提示:soft在此表示言行性格的“宽厚”。既然经过了多年的磨炼,看法已经改变了许多,那么整个人也就变得比过去“温和”了。

15.A.similar       fident     C.humorous       D.different

答案:D

提示:那群人的发型和“我们所有人的”是不一样的,因此才显得有趣。

16.A.and         B.but        C.so          D.or

答案:B

提示:从“我喜欢自己的头发样式”来看,此处应用表示转折的but。

17.A.like         B.for        C.beside         D.against

答案:B

提示:be for的意思相当于agree;like和be动词连用时是介词(像);C项表示“在旁边”;D项表示“反对”。

18.A.present      ect      C.send         D.suggest

答案:D

提示:D项表示“把这种发型推荐给别人”;发型是没有办法“赠送”“连接”“寄送”给别人的,因此排除A、B、C三项。

19.A.place        B.attempt       C.fault         D.decision

答案:A

提示:place在此表示“工作,职责”。

20.A.gives         B.brings      C.pulls         D.puts
