23、。故选C项。CYouve likely encountered the humblebrag before-boasting (吹嘘)disguised as a complaint, such as: Im having such a stressful day. I got two job offers and I dont know what to do.”This is a typical example of humblebragging, a term coined by comedic writer Harris Wittels referring to “ a specific
24、 type of boast that allows the offender to broadcast their achievements without the necessary shame and guilt that should normally accompany such claims.” In simpler terms, its a way to disguise a boast with some humility. Humblebragging comes in two different forms. The first is humility-based, an
25、example being, cant believe I got the highest grade in my class”. The second type comes mixed with a bit of complaint, for example, I cant believe that shopkeeper asked me for ID. Im 25 !”People dont like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity. Sincerity is a critical
26、 dimension of social evaluation, which is viewed as fundamental to peoples identity. In fact, people prize sincerity even above competence and warmth in others, according to Dr. Sezer.If humblebragging doesnt work, and no one likes it, why do we still do it? We all want to highlight our positive qua
27、lities without seeming proud. By speaking in a complaint or an expression of humility, we hope well somehow land on the “ sweet spot of self-presentation : promoting ourselves while also conveying likability. In addition, research suggests that people may experience positive emotions while humblebra
28、gging.Considering that were all likely to feel the urge to humblebrag, at least to some extent, the proper response when we hear a friend doing it may be to simply let it go-because ultimately were going to do it ourselves, and who really wants to be called out on it?8. Which of the following remark
29、s is an example of humblebragging?A. How I hate hearing my voice on TV!B. Im thrilled to be awarded the first prize.C. Im the only person to get promoted in the firm.D. How I dislike doing the same thing every day!9. Which can best describe peoples impression of humblebraggers?A Honest.B. Humble.C.
30、Insincere.D. Incapable.10. Why do people humblebrag?A. To lift up their spirits.B. To express their complaints.C. To improve their moral qualities.D. To show off without bringing annoyance.11. What are people advised to do when hearing humblebragging from a friend?A. Follow it up.B. Leave it alone.C
31、. Turn against it.D. Get to the root of it.【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B【解析】本文是说明文。本文主要讲述了生活中可能遇到的谦虚地自夸的人的特征,及他们这么做的原因,并就遇到这些人提出了应对方法。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段的“Youve likely encountered the humblebrag beforeboasting(吹嘘) disguised as a complaint(你可能以前遇到过把吹嘘伪装成抱怨的人)”可知,humblebrag是指以抱怨的口气来吹嘘。再结合选项可知,A项“我多么讨厌在电视上听到
32、我自己的声音啊”符合题意。故选A。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“People dont like when others humblebrag because they find they are lacking in sincerity.( 人们不喜欢别人以看似谦虚的方式自夸,因为他们发现他们缺乏诚意。) ”可知,人们不喜欢别人谦虚地自夸,因为他们发现他们缺乏真诚。由此可知,谦虚地自夸的人给人的印象是不真诚的。故选C。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“We all want to highlight our positive qualities without seem
33、ing proud.(我们都想突出我们的积极品质,而不显得骄傲。) ”可知,我们都想要强调我们积极的品质,而看起来却不骄傲。由此推知,人们谦虚地自夸是为了不令人厌烦的炫耀自己。故选D。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Considering that were all likely to feel the urge to humblebrag, at least to some extent, the proper response when we hear a friend doing it may be to simply let it go-because ultimately
34、were going to do it ourselves, and who really wants to be called out on it?(考虑到我们都有可能感到谦卑的冲动,至少在某种程度上,当我们听到一个朋友这样做时,正确的反应可能就是不管它因为最终我们自己也会做它,谁真的想把它说出来呢)”可知,当我们听到朋友在谦虚地自夸时,不管它就好了。故选B。DThe twilight zone (朦胧地带) contains the largest and least explored fish stocks (储备) of the worlds oceans.
