题型:不详难度:来源:
(1) Each person’s perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning, education, and personal experiences.
(2) Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what’ve observed. It is not necessarily true that person perception is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may focus primarily on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same standard to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.
(3) Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don’t see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective perception. Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory information is particularly obvious, but it can be done. We can ignore the stimulus——“He’s basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting(入店行窃).” We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information ——“All kids get into mischief(顽皮). Taking a book from a bookstore isn’t such a big deal.” We can change the meaning of the contradictory information--- “It wasn’t shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.”…
小题1:The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is _____.
A.our hearing and visual abilities |
B.cultural background and personal experiences |
C.the experience one learns from others |
D.critical measures taken by other people |
A.one is likely to take all aspects into consideration |
B.one pays more attention to his/her advantages |
C.children often differ from grown-ups in perception |
D.one tends to choose certain aspects to look at |
A.they follow different standards |
B.either of them may be slow to catch information |
C.the time for observation is not long enough |
D.each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions |
A.something attractive |
B.selective perception |
C.contradictory information |
D.shoplifting |
A.the information received runs against your desire |
B.facts can be twisted or totally ignored |
C.importance of the contradictory information can be overrated (估计过高) |
D.misbehaved children may not be punished |

试题分析:几个人看同样的人会感觉不一样,同一个人在不同的时候看同一件事情也会不同,这是因为一些因素影响人们的认知。
小题1:细节题:从第一段的句子:Each person’s perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning, education, and personal experiences.可知第一个影响人的认知的因素是我们的文化背景和个人经历。选B。
小题2:细节题:从文章第三段的句子:It is not necessarily true that person perception is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may focus primarily on the situation or role relationship.可知当观察一个特定的人,一个人往往会选择某些方面看。选D
小题3:细节题:依据句子“Most people do not use the same yardstick(尺码) to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.”可知同样的人同时被两个人观察可能不一样,因为他们使用的是不同的标准,选项A
小题4:猜词题:从文章第四段的句子:Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory information is particularly obvious, but it can be done.选择性认知很显然更难,当矛盾信息显而易见的时候,可知“stimulus”是矛盾的信息,所以选C

核心考点
试题【When several people look at the same person, it is not unusual for each of them 】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
The job market is, after all, awfully tough. Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that “recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time.” The bright spot, according to the study, is for students who majored(主修) in STEM— science, technology, engineering and mathematics — areas in which recent graduates “have tended to do relatively well”.
But Emma is a student of the humanities(人文) at a small college. She’s an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food. For quite a while, I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I’m not the least bit worried she will find a good job. Yet the more I’ve thought about it, the more I’ve decided to be honest. “I’m not sure what Emma is going to do,” I now say. “But she’s gotten a great education and has really found her interest. — and I know those things will serve her well over the course of her life.”
Nowadays, more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates. In this climate, encouraging your kid to study the humanities, seems, at best, unwise or, at worst, unconcerned with earning a living. But a college is not a vocational(职业) school. And promoting STEM subjects should not be society’s only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world.
From the beginning, we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money, as more and more families are doing. To Emma, what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time: Emma’s contribution to the world and how happy she is in it.
小题1:The author’s friends and family_________.
A.are worried about Emma’s safety |
B.have been worrying about the flood |
C.are concerned about Emma’s future |
D.are worried about the job market |
A.The number of the graduates is increasing. |
B.STEM graduates can be better employees. |
C.STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand. |
D.More and more graduates like to do a part-time job. |
A.Because she is interested in it. |
B.Because her mother told her to. |
C.Because it is increasingly popular. |
D.Because she wants further education. |
A.it should be among the STEM |
B.it should be fashionable and interesting |
C.it should allow a good job and a high salary |
D.it should bring achievements and happiness |
Whenever a youngster would run over to the “wrong” side, chasing a ball or just trying to cover all the available space, the old people would lean forward and smile. But before any communication could be established, the mother would come over, murmuring embarrassed apologies, and take her child back to the “young” side.
Now, it seemed to me that the children didn’t feel any particular fear and the old people didn’t seem to be threatened by the children. The division of space was drawn by the mothers. And the mothers never looked at the old people who lined the other side of the park. These well-dressed young women had a way of sliding their eyes over, around, through the old people; they never looked at them directly. The old people may as well have been invisible; they offended the aesthetic eye of the mothers.
My early experiences were somewhat different; since I grew up in a small town, my children had more of a nineteenth-century flavor. I knew a lot of old people, and considered some of them friends.
小题1:People are afraid of growing old because it is usually associated with ______.
A.insult | B.threat | C.death | D.betrayal |
A.grow old slowly and then die unnoticed |
B.grow old suddenly and then die |
C.shut oneself up from others when growing old |
D.remain young all one’s life and then die suddenly |
A.they feared their children might hurt the old |
B.they didn’t like their children to take up the space belonging to the old |
C.they felt it was wrong to play balls near where the old stayed |
D.they didn’t want their children to have anything to do with the old |
A.made by people | B.understandable |
C.formed naturally | D.traditional |
A.used to have the same experience as the young have today |
B.has never been afraid of getting old |
C.was quite free to know and befriend old people in his childhood |
D.both B and C |
People from around the world travel to Piobbico to tell their sad stories of ugliness. During the annual Festival of the Ugly, which occurs on the first Sunday of every September, hundreds of people gather in Piobbico’s town square to elect the president of the Ugly Club. Lacobelli wins the election every year. The Ugly Club has over 20, 000 members. They carry ID cards that grade their ugliness from bearable to extreme. A prize is awarded to Ugly Club members who qualify as extremely ugly.
The Ugly Club president insists that ugliness is a virtue. Since beautiful people get a lot of attention for their beauty alone, they have to work hard to prove their other virtues. Ugly people, on the other hand, are genuine and do not have to prove anything to anybody, according to Lacobelli.
Lacobelli is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere. He believes that the uglier one is, the better life can be. Though the club enjoys making fun of beauty, especially beauty contests, Lacobelli has a serious side as well. He believes that too many people suffer from financial and emotional pressures because they don’t meet society’s standards of beauty. The fact that beautiful people are more successful in the workforce is a problem that Lacobelli has attempted to bring forward to the Italian public and government.
小题1:Piobbico is rather special in that .
A.it is a very small town | B.it is home to ugly people |
C.it receives no visitors | D.it is the capital of Italy |
A.Because he is the ugliest person in the whole world. |
B.Because his ugliness is always graded as bearable. |
C.Because he is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere. |
D.Because he has won the members’ trust and admiration. |
A.Ugly people are most respected in Italy. |
B.The Festival of the Ugly is held every two years. |
C.Ugly people are unfairly treated in society. |
D.The uglier one is, the better life he or she lives. |
A.The Ugly Capital of the World | B.The Ugliest Person of the World |
C.Festival of the Ugly | D.Beauty Contests Should be Banned |
The Importance of Accessibility Awareness
At a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. 小题1: However, what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap accommodations (残疾人便利设施).
One school-teacher who is blind, and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to raising awareness about disabilities. 小题2: These include handicap parking spots, handrails, and wheelchair ramps. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. 小题3: And the meeting focused on educating the public.
Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. “As long as I"m not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However, the woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. 小题4:
Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. 小题5: People who are informed of the rail’s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack.
Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities.
A.Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled. |
B.As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education. |
C.They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities. |
D.Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate. |
F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these accommodations.
G. I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities.
According to a 2010 study led by Sam Gosling, a scientist at the University of Texas, US, dog people are about 15 percent more outgoing and 13 percent more pleasant to be friends with than cat people.
This is not hard to understand, since cats and dogs behave differently themselves. “Cats will occasionally engage in social activities, but usually after only a few minutes, they will abandon the game. Dogs, on the other hand, will often engage in play, like fetching a thrown ball, for hours at a time,” said Modern Dog Magazine.
Although cat people are less social, Gosling’s study showed that they are 11 percent more open-minded than dog people. They usually like art, adventures and unusual ideas. They also have more imagination and curiosity. But dog people are more likely to stick to old beliefs and traditional interests.
However, their love of a free lifestyle also means that cat people dislike making plans. They just follow whatever ideas pop into their heads without planning ahead. But dog people are different. They usually have strong self-control and like to carry out their plans.
Despite these big differences between dog people and cat people, there are some things that they have in common, “Both types of people consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing, and are generally optimists,” noted Mother Nature Network.
But can personality change? Can a cat person become a dog person, or the other way around? In a study done by Stanley Coren, a scientist based in Canada, he asked cat owners: “If you had enough living space and there were no objections form other people in your life, and someone gave you a puppy as a gift, would you keep it?”
About 68 percent of them said they would not accept a dog as a pet. But when dog owners were asked the same question about a kitten, almost 70 percent said they would allow a cat into their lives.
小题1:According to the article, dog people _____________ cat people.
A.perform better in school than | B.are more open-minded than |
C.have closer friends than | D.are more traditional than |
A.take little interest in | B.take part in | C.benefit from | D.suffer from |
A.Both of them like planning ahead |
B.Both of them love travelling and adventures |
C.Both of them are imaginative and curious |
D.Both of them care about nature. |
A.Cat people are more likely to become dog people. |
B.Dog people are more likely to accept cats into their homes than cat people are to accept dogs. |
C.Neither dog nor cat people like to accept a new pet. |
D.It is difficult to find out whether dog people or cat people will make a change. |
