知识运用与写作能力专练
Ⅰ.1.B [根据文章首句可知，长相帅气的男性要比相貌平平者收入高五分之一还多，即长得帅就意味着男性职工比长相普通的同事多挣22%还要多。故选B。]
2.A [与前面的being goodlooking相对比，应用average“普通的”。上文的“a beautiful woman is not paid a penny more than her averagelooking colleagues”也有提示。]
3.B [结合前后文的内容可知，此处指好的长相并没有给女性类似的优势。benefit利益;advantage优势;opportunity机会;award奖励。故选B。]
4.C [结合语境可知，此处意为“美丽对女性来说是一把双刃剑”。good looks对女性来说相当于beauty。]
5.D [根据后面的“good looks and intelligence are incompatible(不相容的)in women”可知，一些人认为“女性的美貌和智慧是不会共存的”，这是他们的看法。expect期望;suspect怀疑;ignore忽略;believe认为。故选D。]
6.A [根据上文的内容可知，女性美貌和智慧不能兼具，从而说明美丽的女性并不高效。productive富有成效的，多产的;effective有效的;attractive吸引人的;popular受欢迎的，流行的。故选A。]
7.C [结合前文叙述可知，与“漂亮女性被认为并不高效”形成对比，帅气男性的工资并不会受到无脑综合征的影响(affect)。其他三项的主语通常是人。]
8.B [根据句意可知，此处表让步关系，故选B。]
9.A [根据前面的副词also可判断出，这里指漂亮的女性也能像帅气男性一样挣得更多。故选A。]
10.D [根据语境可知，这项研究并不支持他的理论。approve赞成;develop发展;accelerate加速，促进;support支持。故选D。]
11.A [根据语境可知，此处意为“帅气的人比同事多挣22%还多”，故选A。]
12.B [与前面的manual labor相对应，这里是高薪职业。position位置，职位;career职业，事业;knowledge知识;occasion机会，场合。故选B。]
13.D [根据语境可知，各种职业都存在帅气占优势的现象，再结合常识可判断出，这种比较只能是类似工种之间。故选D。]
14.B [根据后面所修饰的名词battle，再结合语境可知选B。disappointing令人失望的;challenging有挑战性的;promising有前途的，有希望的;inspiring鼓舞人心的。]
15.C [很显然，这里是Men with belowaverage looks和an averagelooking worker在酬劳上的比较，故选C。]
16.C [根据后面的介词短语from Edinburgh可判断出，这里说的是学位，故选C。]
17.D [根据Ian Mitchell的模特身份以及全文讨论的话题可推断出，这里的主语it指代的是goodlooking，ambition抱负;reference参考;satisfaction满意;confidence自信。故选D。]
18.D [根据后面“warm to you more quickly”可知，人们往往会更快对你产生好感，这种现象是与相貌平平者的境遇相比较而言的。attend出席;obtain获得;attempt试图;tend倾向(于)。故选D。]
19.A [根据前面的动词repeated可判断出，此处与research类似，故选A。]
20.B [根据前面的“people in the workplace were ‘lookist’”及后面的“to revise their prejudice”可判断，职场人是“相貌控”，那么需要改变偏见的应该是雇主，且根据上文的叙述可知，好相貌带来好收入，决定职员收入多少的当然是雇主，故选B。]
