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] By saying that "an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince" (Lines 2—3, Para. 3), the writer means______.
选项
A、different people have different styles of clothes
B、ready-made clothes may need alterations
C、statuses come ready made just like clothes
D、our choice of statuses is limited
答案
D
解析
本题是一道句子含义类问题。问作者说“一个美国人不是随意去选择中国农民穿的服装,或者印度王子穿的服装的”是什么意思。表面上看这只是考查学生对一句话的理解,实际上要想正确回答这个问题,必须对本段的内容有一个准确的理解。这一段指出,有人把身份比做供人选择的成衣。但人们在选择成衣时受到诸多的条件限制,如体形、富有程度、对面料的爱好等,但最重要的是,商店提供了多少式样。换句话说,商店提供的成衣式样、花色品种是由社会决定的,人们的选择只能在这个范围之内进行。身份也是一样,是有一定限制的。因此本题的正确答案应是D“我们对身份的选择也是有限定范围的”。
