I had an auto repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not 3 have scored more than 80. 4 , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him and he always 5 it.
Well, then, suppose my auto repair man 6 questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I'd prove myself a 7 . In a word where I have to work with my 8 , I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto repairman 9 . He had a habit of telling 10 . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf and dumb (聾啞) man 11 some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made 12 movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He 13 his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk 14 him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the 15 man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors (剪刀 ). 16 do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his 17 and asked for them. I've been 18 that on all my customers today, but I knew 19 I'd catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked. "Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc. I knew you couldn't be very 20 .” And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

這篇文章是關(guān)于智力問(wèn)題的。文章脈絡(luò)是博士受教育多,但動(dòng)手能力差,在回答汽車修理工設(shè)計(jì)的智力測(cè)驗(yàn)題時(shí),被思維定勢(shì)所縛。汽車修理工的智商不高,卻手腳伶俐,巧舌如簧。他認(rèn)為博士中了他的圈套是受教育過(guò)多所致。
第1題,答案是C,作者接受了一個(gè)智力測(cè)試,并沒(méi)有表明其他的意識(shí)。 第2題,答案是A。深層信息是“100之?dāng)?shù)”不明確,沒(méi)著落,而博士的智商一定高于常人,高于智商測(cè)試的平均分,選A.a(chǎn)n average才是最佳答案。 第3題,答案是B,可能。 第4題,答案是D。汽車修理工智商低,只有80,低于平均值。然而博士的車一有毛病他就一籌莫展,修理工卻能手到病除。所以副詞不是“那么”、“因此”而是“然而”,表示轉(zhuǎn)折才合理。 第5題,選項(xiàng)干擾性較強(qiáng)。B項(xiàng)checked似乎對(duì),但僅檢查,不修理,意義不到位。D項(xiàng)“改變這種情況”也不明確。改好了,還是改壞了?改變修理地點(diǎn),還是改換修理的汽車?A.fixed“修好”最貼切。 第6題,答案是C,根據(jù)上下文,應(yīng)該是“設(shè)計(jì)”問(wèn)題。 第7題,答案是D。從上文的信息得知博士的智商很高,似乎“他會(huì)贏”,可選C。其實(shí)B、C都錯(cuò)。隱含信息是博士智商雖高,但動(dòng)手不如動(dòng)腦。修理工智商低下,可他設(shè)計(jì)的智力題卻使博士臉紅。每次測(cè)驗(yàn),博士不是贏家,而是傻瓜。從文章結(jié)構(gòu)看,下文便給出一具體事例說(shuō)明博士傻在何處。 第8題,答案是C,從下文可以得知,應(yīng)該是體力勞動(dòng),所以這兒應(yīng)該選“hands”。 第9題,答案是A。與前文的suppose祈使句為同一語(yǔ)氣,前后照應(yīng),邏輯嚴(yán)密。“猜想”一下,“再次考慮”,推斷正確答案為A.a(chǎn)gain。 第10題,tell可以與每一個(gè)選項(xiàng)搭配。修理工所說(shuō)的應(yīng)該是編造的“謊言”,也是“故事”,但不能選A和D。文章讀后讓人忍俊不禁,并從中領(lǐng)悟一定的哲理。從單詞、深層意義、文章體裁幾個(gè)角度聚焦,“笑話”最貼切,故選B。 第11題,答案是D,“需要”。 第12題,笑話中聾啞人的手勢(shì)和博士的思維定勢(shì)是導(dǎo)致博士判斷錯(cuò)誤的原因。如果此時(shí)手勢(shì)做得不準(zhǔn)確,故事就無(wú)法發(fā)展,也根本達(dá)不到后來(lái)的幽默效果。結(jié)合聾啞人另一只手的動(dòng)作“捏著釘子”,應(yīng)該做一個(gè)“用錘子敲”的手勢(shì)。這個(gè)手勢(shì)誘發(fā)了博士“用剪刀剪”的手勢(shì)。雖然選項(xiàng)中hammering是一生詞,但綜合考慮后,B為最佳答案。 第13題,答案是C,“搖頭”。 第14題,售貨員“給”他一些釘子,所以是A。 第15題,根據(jù)題意,應(yīng)該是另外一個(gè)人,所以是D。 第16題,這是一個(gè)雙重疑問(wèn)句,do you suppose意義上是插入成分,形式上是主句,后跟賓語(yǔ)從句。賓語(yǔ)從句中主語(yǔ)、賓語(yǔ)齊全,而A、C、D都是代詞,不可用在此空檔。根據(jù)句式知識(shí),結(jié)合語(yǔ)篇理解選B才對(duì),意為:你想他怎么表達(dá)他需要剪刀呢? 第17題,盲人是可以說(shuō)話的,文章中就是要表達(dá)這點(diǎn),所以答案是C,voice。 第18題,答案是A,嘗試。 第19題,那個(gè)修理工確信他可以難住博士,所以答案是A。 第20題,不但需要語(yǔ)篇理解,而且要較深地進(jìn)入意境。表層意義是博士受了那么多教育,智商高,即使答錯(cuò)智力測(cè)驗(yàn)題也不會(huì)那么笨。但從汽車修理工風(fēng)趣粗俗的語(yǔ)句,貧嘴饒舌的性格,以及上文的鋪墊,暗示“我知道我準(zhǔn)會(huì)套住你”等信息考慮,得出文章的邏輯走向——汽車修理工恰恰認(rèn)為博士不聰明,并且認(rèn)為受教育多是他愚笨的根本原因。所以選D非常妥帖、傳神,表示了對(duì)博士的嘲笑。“couldn't be very smart”畫(huà)龍點(diǎn)睛。

When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in the speech of a 13 character.

Of course, the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but that’s only superficial(表面上的). 1 , in good restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, 2 you find the chopsticks not helpful 3 . The real difference is 4 in the West, you have your own plate of food, 5 in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone 6 . If you are being 7 to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you’re in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a 8 of many different types of dishes. The meal usually 9 with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be 10 by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup then will be 11 (unless in Guangdong style restaurants)to be followed by staple food(主食)ranging from rice, noodles 12 dumplings. If you wish to have your rice to 13 with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the Chinese 14
to have the staple food at last or have 15 of them at all.
Perhaps one of the things that 16 a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their 17 . In formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts 18 use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of true friendship and politeness. It is 19 polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just 20 the food in the plate.
