What is intelligence (智力) 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 not 3 have scored more than 80. 4 , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to himand 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 world where I have to work with my 8 , I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man 9 . He had a habit of telling 10 . One time he said, “Doe, a deaf-and-dumb (聾啞) 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 (剪刀). 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 on 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.“receive an intelligence test”譯為“接受一項(xiàng)智力測試”,故應(yīng)選C. 2.與平均分100分相對比,我得了160分.“an average”指平均分,平均狀況. 3.先排除A項(xiàng),智力測試中80分屬low IQ,故此處如用always與auto-repairman在智力測試中的成績不符,故應(yīng)排除;C、D兩項(xiàng)與文意不符,故應(yīng)選B. 4.文意轉(zhuǎn)折,故選D. 5.fix在此用做動詞,作“修理”解. 6.文意應(yīng)選擇“設(shè)計”之意,故應(yīng)選C. 7.此處的By every one of them系指“如做(他設(shè)計的)每一個智力測試.”作者在理論上也許很不錯,但在實(shí)際操作中,往往手足無措.所以作者說,做他的智力測試題,自己就會是一個傻瓜. 8.作者動腦可以言勝,但一動手就不戰(zhàn)而敗了.此處正好與上句互為印證. 9.上一段作者已經(jīng)講述了auto-repair man的一些不同凡響之處,此處欲再提及他的一段風(fēng)趣而睿智的故事,故應(yīng)選again. 10.從下文的一段故事中可知,答案. 11.此處文意要求選D,譯為“需要”. 12.句意為:這位聾啞人進(jìn)了商店之后,他捏緊一只手的兩個指頭,用另一只手在柜臺上作釘釘子的動作. 13.從本句可知,這位聾啞人搖頭表示否定要買錘子. 14.服務(wù)員拿來一些釘子,這位聾啞人挑選了合適的型號,然后就離開了. 15.從上下文看,第一個進(jìn)來購物的人是聾啞人,可知,后面進(jìn)來購物的盲人是第二個人,故選D. 16.應(yīng)排除A、C、D三項(xiàng),因?yàn)?/FONT>asked for己有賓語them,故應(yīng)選B. 17.盲人用聲音來購物. 18.try…on sb.,在此作“以……來試驗(yàn)?zāi)橙;以……來審視某人”?/P> 19.for sure在此作“確實(shí)”解,等于really. 20.上一句說Doe“你有十足的學(xué)究氣”,即說Doe不可能非常聰明而不落入我所設(shè)的圈套. |

When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in the speech of a 13 character.

Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only superficial(表面上的). 1 , in good restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, 2 you find the chopsticks not helpful 3 . The real difference is 4 in the West, you have your own plate of food, 5 in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone 6 . If you are being 7 to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a 8 of many different types of dishes. The meal usually 9 with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be 10 by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be 11 (unless in Guangdong style restaurants)to be followed by staple food(主食)ranging from rice, noodles 12 dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to 13 with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese 14
to have the staple food at last or have 15 of them at all.
Perhaps one of the things that 16 a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their 17 . In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts 18 use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of true friendship and politeness. It is 19 polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just 20 the food in the plate.
