【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 esirable job. The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT elite(精英). In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job. Ms Lee said, In the selection decision for an undesirable job, decision makers were more likely to choose the unattractive individual over the attractive individual. Co173。author Dr Madan Pillutla said, It is interesting that decision makers consider others39。 opinions in their decisions. They thought that attractive individuals would want better outes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecting for a less desirable job. The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high173。level jobs.（1）What do people generally think of being attractive? A.It is a disadvantage.B.It is a blessing.C.it is not important.D.It has nothing to do with jobs.（2）What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.The participants of the experiment.B.The importance of the experiment.C.The process of the experiment.D.The result of the experiment.（3）An ordinary173。looking graduate may have an advantage when applying for _______. A.a managerB.a project directorC.a warehouse workerD.an IT elite（4）Why are less attractive applicants preferred for less desirable jobs? A.Because they are more hardworking.B.Because they will be more satisfied.C.Because they have no requirements at all.D.Because they will want better outes.（5）Which of the following agrees with the research? A.Attractive people are more fit for high173。level jobs.B.Less attractive people are easy to find high173。level jobs.C.Attractive people can always be hired when applying for jobs.D.Less attractive people can easily get highly paid if they work hard.【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）C（4）B（5）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了吸引力和求職之間的關(guān)系。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的For the most part good looks is a blessing.可知,在很大程度上,美貌是一種福氣,由此可知,人們普遍認(rèn)為有吸引力是一種福氣,故選B。 （2）考查段落大意。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容,特別是Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates, one attractive and the other unattractive.可知,本段主要介紹了研究人員對吸引力和求職之間的關(guān)系的實(shí)驗(yàn)過程,故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative及participants were significantly less likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job可知,參與者不太可能雇有吸引力的人做不那么理想的工作,而倉庫管理員是不理想的工作之一,由此可知,長相一般的人在申請倉庫管理員職位上有優(yōu)勢,故選C。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的They thought that attractive individuals would want better outes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecting for a less desirable job.可知,有吸引力的人希望更好的結(jié)果,因此不太容易滿足,所以參與者在選擇不那么理想的工作時更喜歡長相一般的候選人,由此可知,長相一般的人更喜歡不那么理想的工作是因?yàn)樗麄兏菀诐M足,故選B。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high173。level jobs.可知,有吸引力的求職者更受青睞的觀點(diǎn)可能僅限于高層職位,由此可知,有吸引力的人更適合高層工作與研究結(jié)果相符合,故選A。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和段落大意三個題型的考查，是一篇社會類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 While Black Friday and Cyber Monday help start the holiday shopping season, Giving Tuesday, which will be observed on November 28, attempts to inspire the season of giving. Now in its sixth year, the charitable(慈善的)day uses the power of social media to encourage organizations and individuals to donate funds or resources to worthy causes. Its mission is to bring positive change to munities through giving. Though devoting just one day to a worthy cause may not seem much, Giving Tuesday makes a surprisingly significant impact. In 2015,ORGANIZE,an online organ donor program asked people to “Give with your Heart”,by being registered donors. Thousands of Americans listen to the cry for help, resulting in one of the largest digital donor drives in US history. That same year, the Cleveland Library and the Pratt Library in Baltimore peted to see who could encourage more donations. While the Pratt Library won with a $41,000 acquisition, the Cleveland Library was able to raise a fairly large amount for its programs as well. In 2016, the University of Michigan encouraged students and friends to donate to hourly challenges. They raised an amazing $ million! The university hopes to recreate the magic this year, with a virtual celebration to mark the institution39。s 200th anniversary. Giving Tuesday is not just a US phenomenon, but a global movement. In 2016, 98 countries participated in the event, raising $177 million, a 44% increase over 2015, when 71 nations collected $ million. These numbers can only increase as the day gains further recognition. Though donating funds is a great way to help, there are numerous other ways to support your local munity. You can give back by volunteering at a nearby nonprofit or food bank. Social media experts can do their share by spreading the information and inspiring their colleagues to get involved. Another great way to celebrate Giving Tuesday is by helping those closest to you, whether that39。s assisting a family member with chores or helping a neighbor with yard work.（1）Why is Giving Tuesday started? A.To appeal to people to perform an act of kindness.B.To promote sales of the holiday shopping season.C.To inspire the poor to have a positive view of life.D.To encourage people to donate organs for patients.（2）It can be inferred from the text that . A.people donated money actively for the two libraries in BaltimoreB.the University of Michigan thought it cha
