Physical appearance likely plays a strong part, of course, as do kindness, humor and other qualities. If you're like me, you're attracted to impressive people. 16 They have qualities I admire but lack myself. Because I assume people with certain qualities would be most interested in those who share them. I don't even consider the possibility of developing a relationship with them.17 If you're attracted to athletic people, for example, but don*t regard yourself as fit or active, you may not think you stand a chance with the people you see working out at the gym. However, there are several mistakes with this way of thinking.You shouldn't assume people are looking for someone who shares qualities they possess themselves. 18They may really like to meet somebody from a completely different walk of life, other than the field of music.The qualities you admire in other people may not be the same ones they identify （认同）in themselves. This applies to my example of impressive people. 19 While you may find their success, drive, and enthusiasm impressive, maybe theyYe looking for someone who knows how to step back and enjoy life.And you are probably underselling your own positive qualities. You probably have qualities you may not find attractive but that some people will admire in you.So it isn*t worthwhile to worry about falling short of what you think other people want. All you can do is be yourself, show your best qualities, and see who responds to them. If there is one quality that never attracts anybody, its doubt. 20A. I've been struggling with these same things myself.B. Maybe it's a writer, musician, doctor, lawyer, or soldier.C. They may not view “impressive" in the same way you do.D. This problem goes far beyond my specific example, though.E. A musician isn't necessarily interested only in other musicians.F. It prevents you from finding out whether your attraction is shared.G. You can never know which things they want to share with their partners.【答案】16.B17. D 18,E W.C 20.

I don*t even consider the possibility of developing a relationship with them.（因为我认为有某些特质的人会对拥 有相同特质的人最感兴趣。我甚至没有考虑过和他们发展关系的可能性。）”，空格后说“IfyouTe attracted to athletic people, for example, but don't regard yourself as fit or active, you may not think you stand a chance with the people you see working out at the gym.（举个例子，如果你被运动健将所吸引，但却认为自己 并不健康或活跃，你可能会认为自己不可能和那些在健身房锻炼的人在一起。）”，D选项“Thisproblem goes far beyond my specific example, though.（不过，这个问题远远超出了我的具体例子。）”中的 “This problem”指代前面的作者自己的例子，且引出了其他人的问题，因此D选项承上启下，符合语境，故选D。【18题详解】空格前说 “You shouldn't assume people are looking for someone who shares qualities they possess themselves.（你不应该假设人们在寻找一个和他们有相同品质的人。）”，空格后说“ They may really like to meet somebody from a completely different walk of life, other than the field of music.（他们可能真的喜欢遇见来自完 全不同的生活领域的人，除了音乐领域。）”，说明人可能不止对自己领域的人感兴趣，E选项“A musician isn't necessarily interested only in other musicians.（音乐家不一定只对其他音乐家感兴趣。）”说明 了人可能对其他领域的人感兴趣，因此E选项承上启下，符合语境，故选E。【19题详解】空格前说 “The qualities you admire in other people may not be the same ones they identify （认同）in themselves.（你在别人身上所钦佩的品质，也许和他们自己所认为的不一样。）"，说明了你觉得令人印象 深刻的人可能对“令人印象深刻”的看法和你不一样，C选项“They may not view “impressive” in the same way you do.（他们对“令人印象深刻”的看法可能和你不一样。）”位于空格承接上文，符合语境， 故选C。【20题详解】 空格前说 “If there is one quality that never attracts anybody, it's doubt.（如果有一种品质永远无法吸引任何人，那就是怀疑，空格处应具体说“怀疑”的不好之处，F选项uIt prevents you from finding out whether your attraction is shared.（它阻止你发现你们的吸引力是否是共享的。）”中的It指的是前面的“doubt”，且说明了 “怀疑”的不好，因此F选项承接上文，符合语境，故选F。第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A 23-year-old woman has achieved an unbelievable feat that many of us dream of-visiting every country onEarth.Lexie Alford was born into a family of travel agents, which gave her the opportunity to 21 places such as Cambodia, Dubai and Egypt during her childhood, according to Forbes magazine.
