Actually, there is the endless potential benefit about it, but researchers have found one area that being pretty makes life a challenge securing yourself a boring, low173。 This stands in contrast to a large body of research that attractiveness, in general, helps candidates in the selection process. For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general, often vote for them more in elections, and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs.than173。 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.author Dr Madan Pillutla said, It is interesting that decision makers consider others39。 The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high173。It is a disadvantage.B.it is not important.D.The participants of the experiment.B.The process of the experiment.D.looking graduate may have an advantage when applying for _______. A.a project directorC.an IT elite（4）Why are less attractive applicants preferred for less desirable jobs? A.Because they will be more satisfied.C.Because they will want better outes.（5）Which of the following agrees with the research? A.level jobs.B.level jobs.C.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。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。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)系的實驗過程,故選C。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。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為他們更容易滿足,故選B。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。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(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)上下文進行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。 Entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and Space X, Eldon Musk may have a little more time on his hands, as he39。 The departure is likely the result of Tesla39。 Musk and Y Combiner CEO Sam Altman cofounded the nonprofit enterprise in December2015, its mission is to develop safe artificial general intelligence and ensure those developments are made public.
