问题     Proper street behavior in the United States requires a nice balance of attention and inattention. You are supposed to look at a【C1】just enough to show that you are【C2】of his presence. If you look too little, you appear haughty (目中无人的) ox furtive (诡秘的),【C3】much and you are inquisitive. Usually what happens is that people【C4】each other until they are about eight feet【C5】. at which point both cast down their eyes. Sociologist Erving Goffman【C6】this as "a kind of dimming of lights".
    Much of eye behavior is so【C7】that we react to it only on the intuitive level. The next time you have a【C8】with someone who makes you feel liked, notice what he does with his eyes.【C9】are he looks at you more often than is usual with【C10】a little longer than the normal. You interpret this as a sign — a polite one —【C11】he is interested in you as a person【C12】just in the topic of conversation. Probably you also feel that he is both【C13】and sincere.
    All this has been demonstrated in elaborate【C14】. Subjects sit and talk in the psychologists’ laboratory,【C15】of the fact that their eye behavior is being【C16】from a one way vision screen. In one fairly typical experiment,【C17】were induced to cheat while performing a task, then were【C18】and observed. It was found that those who had【C19】met the interviewer’s eyes less often than was【C20】, an indication that "shifty eyes" — to use the mystery writers stock phrase — can actually be a tip off to an attempt to deceive or to feelings of guilt.

选项 A、noticed
B、interpreted
C、analyzed
D、observed
答案 D
解析 语义衔接题。本句是说“受试者坐在心理学家的实验室里说话，全然不知他们的眼睛的动作正通过单向视屏被观察”。D)observed意为“观察”，符合语义，故答案为D)。A)noticed“注意到”表示瞬间的动作，不符合语境。B)interpreted“解释，说明”和C)analyzed“分析”不合逻辑，一般情况下实验过程是先观察，然后对观察结果进行分析或解释，故排除。下文提到的were 79 and observed对本题有提示作用。
