Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we "fit" in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on.
The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.
A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume (服装) of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook (钱 包). Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statuses too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited. [br] The word "appraisal" (Line 5, Para. 2) most probably means______.
选项
A、involvement
B、appreciation
C、assessment
D、presentation
答案
C
解析
本题是一道词汇含义类问题。利用查阅式阅读法找到所考查的词appraisal所在的上下文,我们就可推断出本题的正确答案应是C“判断,评价”。依据文章第二段的全部内容,即在社会交往中,双方各自选择得体的言谈举止方式,是依据各自对对方情况的判断,同时也给对方以判断我们的机会。这种判断的过程就是文章说的appraisal and interpretation。因此,本题的正确答案是C。
