　　第三套

　　Passage 2 性格与寿命

　　51. The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is ______

　　A. to see whether people’s personality affects their life span

　　B. to find out if one’s lifestyle has any effect on their health

　　C. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long life

　　D. to examine all the factors contributing to longevity

　　51. A 主旨题。由专有名词 定位至第一段末句，题目问的是研究目的是什么，去前一句找答案，问句中提到personality与longevity的关系，这个研究就是围绕二者关系展开的，纵观四个选项，A项提到personality 和life span，故答案为A.

　　B项lifestyle，C项the role of exercise 文中均没有提到，属于无关信息，D项all the factors (所有因素)，而文中只提到了性格与寿命的关系，故排除。在此提醒各位考生，对于过于绝对化的选项，选择的时候一定要慎重，多为干扰选项。

　　52. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?

　　A. They have a good understanding of evolution

　　B. They are better at negotiating an agreement

　　C. They generally appear more resourceful

　　D. They are more likely to get over hardship

　　52.D 根据顺序定位原则和题干关键词outgoing and sympathetic people定位到第二段末句，those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times. 纵观四个选项，D项get over hardship 是对make it through tough times 的同义替换，故为答案。

　　A项 evolution B项agreement均为非定位区间的干扰信息，C项干扰性较强，并不是appear resourceful, 而是拥有资源以使他们渡过难关，语意的重点在to do后面。

　　53. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?

　　A. Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life

　　B. Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times

　　C. Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity

　　D. Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity

　　53.C题干问这项研究成果能或多或少证实我们的哪些期望?题对段的顺序原则可以定位到原文第三段，根据原文的Increasingly, however, other characteristic that you might consider advantages had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer.判定选C。

　　54. What does the recent study of Norwegian mothers show?

　　A. Children’s personality characteristics are invariably determined by their mothers

　　B. People with unhealthy eating habits are likely to die sooner

　　C. Mothers’ influence on children may last longer than fathers’

　　D. Mothers’ negative personality characteristics may affect their children’s life spans.

　　54.D题干问关于挪威妈妈们的研究显示了啥?根据题干中的挪威妈妈，很快可以定位到原文倒数第二段，根据原文That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that, 这里的found that是关键词，上过我课同学都应该知道的，它后面就是答案。所以这一题选D。
