NMET 2002
What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I 1 an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and against 2 of 100, scored 160.
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could no 3 have scored more than 80.4 when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him--and he always 5 it.
Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man 6 questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I'd prove myself a 7 In a work where I have to work with my8 , I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man 9 . He had a habit of telling 10 . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf- and- dumb man 11 some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made 12 movements with the other hand.The clerk brought him a hammer. He 13 his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk 14 him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the 15 man who came in was blind.He wanted scissors. 16 do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his 17 and asked for them. I've been 18 that all my customers today, but I knew 19 I'd catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked.“Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc, I knew you couldn't be very 20 ”
And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

(1) C 本题考查动词判断.易错选failed;因为在整篇文章没有任何信息提到作者的智商低,以至于在智力测试中不及格.只是提到曾得到过一份智力测试题. (2) A 参加这次智力测试的士兵平均得分是100分,而我得了160分.因此只有an average合适. (3) B 第二段讲到他有一个修汽车的朋友,如果做这个智力题很可能不超过80分,可见他的智力之低,然而当他遇到出毛病的汽车时却能很快地修好它.此段反衬16小题的选项只能是C.同时根据逻辑此题只能选possibly. (4) D yet在此表示转折,使整段行文逻辑畅通. (5) A 作为汽车修理工,马上判断出问题并立即修好这就是本事.故在所给的4个动词中应选fixed. (6) C 第三段要注意分析句子结构.如果汽车修理工来答智力题,后面证明我是个白痴就逻辑不通了,故通过分析此空只能选designed“设计”了. (7) D 为什么选fool,上面已经讲到了. (8) C 本题考查名词用法辨异.brain不能用复数;B和D逻辑不能. (9) A 再一次拿汽车修理工举例,应用again. (10) B tell lies, tell jokes从语法的角度都成立.但在本文中,没有任何句子说明修理工喜欢撒谎,故排除tell lies,只有tell jokes适合了.看完全文印证了这一点. (11) D 只有需要才去商店买. (12) B hammer 作名词意为“榔头”,作动词意为“用榔头敲”.做出用榔头敲的动作,应为hammering. (13) C 店员拿错东西,聋哑人只能摇头,因此选shook. (14) A 店员明白了聋哑人的意思,拿来了几种不同种类的钉子,让他挑选.动词用bring,如果用sell后面的“挑选”就不成立. (15) D 第二个人进来买剪刀.此题易错选other,前面没有提到只有两个人,再者如果两个中的另一个也只能用the other 而不是the other man. (16) B 特殊疑问句中缺少表示方式的副词,故选how. (17) C 前一个是聋哑人买东西,不能言语只能打手势;第二个人是盲人买东西,看不见但能说话,他可以用语言表达他要买什么东西.故选voice. (18) A 汽车修理工利用人们的定势思维拿人们开玩笑.今天屡试不爽!故用trying构成完成进行时态. (19) A for sure意为“肯定”,表示汽车修理工的自信. (20) D 注意句中的否定词not,这时解此题的关键,句意是“我早就知道你不可能很聪明”.因此答案是smart. |
