2、re asked for a donation by a disabled woman in a wheelchair than if asked by a nondisabled woman. In another _50_, subway riders in New York saw a man carrying a stick stumble (绊脚) and fall to the floor. Sometimes the victim had a large red birthmark on his _51_ ; sometimes he did not. In this situa
3、tion, the victim was more likely to _52_ aid if his face was spotless than if he had an unattractive birthmark. In _53_ these and other research findings,two themes are _54_ : we are more willing to help people we like for some reason and people we think _55_ assistance. In some situations, those wh
4、o are physically attractive are more likely to receive aid. _56_ , in a field study researchers placed a completed application to graduate school in a telephone box at the airport. The application was ready to be _57_, but had apparently been “lost”. The photo attached to the application was sometim
5、es that of a very _58_ person and sometimes that of a less attractive person. The measure of helping was whether the individual who found the envelope actually mailed it or not. Results showed that people were more likely to _59_ the application if the person in the photo was physically attractive.
6、The degree of _60_ between the potential helper and the person in need is also important. For example, people are more likely to help a stranger who is from the same country rather than a foreigner. In one study, shoppers on a busy street in Scotland were more likely to help a person wearing a(n) _6
7、1_ Tshirt than a person wearing a Tshirt printed with offensive words. Whether a person receives help depends in part on the “worth” of the case. For example, shoppers in a supermarket were more likely to give someone _62_ to buy milk rather than to buy cookies, probably because milk is thought more
8、 essential for _63_ than cookies. Passengers on a New York subway were more likely to help a man who fell to the ground if he appeared to be _64_ rather than drunk.50.

33、s Csufferings Dpleasures55A.survive Bexist Cfall Ddisappear36A从下文的“Upon landing”可知,作者是坐飞机去那儿的,所以用flew。37D从下文提到的“burning desert heat”可知,这里是不毛之地,所以缺乏绿色(green)。38C作者在那样的环境(environment)中住了不到两天就打电话给他父母。39B此时作者质疑他是否作出了正确的(right)选择。40D作者向父母宣布,他很认真地(seriously)在考虑是否要回家了。41C父亲很体谅作者,所以对作者的决定表示了支持,故用supportive。
34、从上文的“calm”也可知C项正确。42A下文多次提到“choice”,这里表示我一直都可以有一个选择(choice),那就是回家。43C但是事实上,父亲和作者都知道(knew)他是不会放弃(而回家)的,所以作者最终还是选择继续(continue)留在亚利桑那大学求学。44D参见43题解析。45B很多年过去了,父亲激励作者的话仍然影响着他,所以用encouraging。46C每次当作者面对(face up to)挑战的时候,他知道他总是可以回家(come home)得到慰藉。wander outside表示“在外闲逛”,hang around表示“到处游荡”,move away表示“移走”,都
35、不符合语境。47A参见46题解析。get away with表示“做(坏事)而未受处罚”,make sure of表示“确信”,look out for表示“当心,提防”,都不符合语境。48D结合上文的“unemployment,divorce”可知,这些都是人生中的失意之事,而丧子之殇(loss of my only son)则更是人生的大悲。49B作者总是用父亲的话去激励别人,让他们知道即便碰到挫折,总还有人在关心(care)着他们,他们还是可以选择(回家)的。50D从上下文内容可知,这里在强调我们对家(home)的印象和家对我们的意义。51A知道远方的家一直在为我们游子守候,这能够帮助(help)我们一路前行。52Bremind sb.of sth.是固定表达,表示“让某人想起某事”,这里表示“我想起了一个回头的浪子的故事”。53A从下文的“love”可知,家给了回头的浪子以慰藉(comfort)和关爱。55空前面的“comfort”是答案提示。54C从上文的“pains”可知,这里表示“痛苦”,故用sufferings,与“pains”同义。55B从上下文可知,家永远存在(exist),它给予我们关爱、支持和慰藉。
