6、n g) descriptions h) degree i) clues j) alone k) appear l) consider m) full n) hobby o)fetched 參考答案及解析： 1.選j)。此處應(yīng)填副詞。可選項有totally和alone，由前一句中just可推出，外表上的細(xì)節(jié)僅僅能告訴我們這個人的健康狀況，平時的營養(yǎng)狀況以及他所從事的工作而不能看出他所處的階級，故排除totally而選alone“惟一”。 2.選d)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。因此此句和前一句是在將以前的工人階級和上層階級的身體狀況進(jìn)行對比，故此處應(yīng)填與small“矮的”意思相反的詞，選項中只有tall符

7、合題意。而full“豐滿的”不能用來修飾sporting types,故排除。 3.選g)。此處應(yīng)填名詞?，F(xiàn)在的生活和工作條件改善了，情況已經(jīng)不同了。而such指代的是上文中對一百年以前工人階級和上層階級的身體狀況的身體狀況的描述，故descriptions“描述”符合題意。 4.選b)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。根據(jù)句意“衣服可以提供.方面的信息”，選項中有background和hobby，選background“人的背景，社會階層”，符合文章主題。 5.選i)。由as well可知，此處應(yīng)填名詞且與本段首句中的informaiton的意思相近，選項中只有clues“線索”符合題意。 6.選k)。此處應(yīng)

8、填動詞的原形。選項中有appear和consider,appear可直接接不定式；而consider帶不定式的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)，用于主動語態(tài)時，consider后面得接賓語，故選appear。 7選f)。這句中this指代bright colour，句子主干是any opportunity is.?？蛇x項有taken和fetched,take“抓住”則可以與opportunity搭配，但fetch“拿來”不能與opportunity構(gòu)成動賓搭配，故排除fetched而選taken。 8.選a)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。句子意思是“衣服的價錢.，大多數(shù)人都買得起。”選項中只有available“可以接受的”符合

9、題意。 9.選h)。此處應(yīng)填名詞。由a price within most peoples reach可推出，此處新衣服向外界顯示的是穿衣者的富裕程度，故選擇degree“程度”。 10.選c)。此處應(yīng)填形容詞。由new fashions和feel important可推出工人階級想通過穿衣來改變他們，而選項中只有different“與眾不同的”符合此意，故選擇c)。 導(dǎo)讀： nowadays, is it possible to tell a persons class just by looking at him? physical details j) alone tell us abo

13、 in bright colours, made of man-made material. a sociological explanation for this would be that color and interest are mssing from their lives, and therefore any opportunity to introduce this is f) taken . (a sociological. and therefore.。此句是一個雙重復(fù)合句。句子為主系表結(jié)構(gòu)，主語是explanation，系動詞為be，表語是由that引導(dǎo)的一個表語從句，而

14、標(biāo)語從句中又有一個由therefore引導(dǎo)的原因狀語從句。for后面的this指代的是上文提到的下層階級選擇顏色鮮艷的衣服，而introduce后面的this指代的是color and interest，introduce本意為“傳入，引進(jìn) ”，在此理解為“增加”。) clothes are a) available at a price within most peoples reach.
