小题13:选A。下一个空格后再现了a tiny bit这一短语。
小题14:选C。expose“使露出”。另show与separate不合文意，taste是下一步才有的动作，故这三项应予排除。
小题15:选B。spreed out扩散开，合乎文意。而stick out（伸出）。search out （寻找，找到），speak out（说出）明显不合句意。
小题16:选D。根据常识，味道应在“舌”面上扩散开。
小题17:选D。another表示“（三者以上的）另一个”。
小题18:选C。in this way “以这种方式”。
小题19:选B。last在此意为“够……之用”。余者不合文意。
小题20:选C。根据全文不难推断。 |

Beauty has always been regarded as something admirable. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal consultants (顾问) give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive persons. But in the executive circle (政界), beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive thing for a man’s rise, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to be the reasons for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.
Why are attractive woman not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine (女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates (候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked lo rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the woman who had been ranked most attractive always received the fewest votes.
小题1:In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _____.| A．strengthens the feminine qualities required | | B．makes women look more honest and capable | | C．is of great importance to women | | D．often enables women to succeed quickly |
小题2:Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _____.| A．turns out to be an obstacle to men | | B．affects men and women alike | | C．has as little effect on men as on women | | D．is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women |
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that people"s views on beauty are often _____.| A．practical | B．old-fashioned | C．prejudiced (偏见的) | D．serious |
小题4:The author writes this passage to _____.| A．discuss the negative aspects of being attractive | | B．give advice to job-seekers who are attractive | | C．demand equal rights for women | | D．emphasize the importance of appearance |
