Passage One
Question 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible. The first sight of you is a brilliant holograph. It burns its way into your new acquaintance’s eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever.
Artists are sometimes able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response. I have a friend, Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who draws regularly for Forbes, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, and other popular publications. Bob has a unique gift for capturing not only the physical appearance of his subjects, but zeroing in on the essence of their personalities. The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad（素描侧）. One glance at his pictures of famous people, you can see, for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishness of Clinton, the awkwardness of George Bush.
Sometimes at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin of a guest. When he’s finished drawing, he puts his pen down and hands a napkin to the guest. Often a puzzled look comes over the subject’s face. He or she usually mumbles some politeness like, “Well, er, that’s great. But it really isn’t me.” The crowd’s convincing
echo of “Oh yes it is!” drowns down the subject, who is left to stare back at the world’s view of himself or herself in the napkin. Once I asked Robert how he could capture people’s personalities so well. He said, “It’s simple. I just look at them.” Almost every fact of people’s personalities is evident from their appearance, their posture, the way they move.
First impressions are indelible. Because in our fast-paced information-overload world, multiple stimuli bombard us every second, people’s heads are spinning. They must form quick judgments to make sense of the world and get on with what they have to do. Whenever people meet you, they take an instant mental snapshot. That image of you becomes the data they deal with for a long time.
1. People usually get the first impression of a person through ______. A. reading an article about him or her in a famous magazine B. getting acquainted with his or her beat friends C. taking a brief look at his or her appearance D. studying his or her personality carefully
2. Why does the author say that Robert has a unique gift A. He can draw the subject carefully
B. He can memorize the names of people instantly C. He can illustrate the subject’s characteristic D. He can communicate with the famous people effectively 3. What does the phrase “zeroing in on” most probably mean A. relying on B. responding on C. acknowledging on D. grasping
4. The puzzled look on the subject’s face suggests that ______. A. the artist’s drawing is out of subject’s expectation B. the crowd treated the subject rudely
C. the artist failed to show his respect for the subject D. the image of the drawing was too real to believe 5. We can conclude from the passage that ______.
A. one should never trust a person by his or her appearance B. the first impression usually has a long lasting influence
C. the judgment based on the first impression is always reliable D. we can no longer make any sense of the information an hand
Passage Two
Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
My dad was a plumber for the public works department in our town, so from time to time he came into my school. Can you imagine sitting in class and seeing your dad peek through the door of your classroom and wave at you In junior high
One girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber and hers was a lawyer, and she would say things like, “that is gross!” I must admit I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did, especially in my early teens, when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girls thought.
The girl lived a few streets away from us, and a winter day---the day her elder sister got married---the toilet in their main upstairs bathroom cracked and there was water everywhere. Her father called every plumber in the yellow book but nobody would come out because of the major snowstorm. His daughter told her father that my father was a plumber, and he called. My dad went over and took me with him(maybe
