2019屆高考英語總復習名師全程導學案：Unit2名師點津1
blaine added that beautiful people score poorly on the “big five”—the key factors american experts consider when helping distressed couples. these are neuroticism(神經過敏)，including anger and anxiety; extroversion(性格外向)；openness to new experiences; agreeableness; conscientiousness, and sticking by agreements they have made. attractive people often see no reason to try to change until their looks start to fade.
krista sutherlanf, of the university of california los angeles, said partnerships that appeared to be perfect from the outside, such as the former “dream teams” of nicole kidman and tom cruise or hugh grant and elizabeth hurley, where backgrounds and aspirations(抱負) are often shared ，did not necessarily lead to happiness.
【解題導語】 本文為議論文，作者論證了這樣一個觀點：美女并不幸福。
5. what can we infer from the first sentence of the passage?
a. beautiful women always felt lonely.
b. beautiful women were always alone.
c. many beautiful women didn’t end up with a happy life.
d. beautiful women always lived a happy life.
解析：選c。考查推理判斷。第一段說漂亮的人，其partnership 往往不如普通人的穩定和讓人滿意，由此判斷，文章開頭說“克萊奧帕特拉和瑪麗蓮•夢露等美女的悲慘命運絕非個例”意在表明“很多美女的生活都不幸福”。
6. the underlined phrase “plain janes” in the passage refers to“ ________”.
a. ordinarylooking women b. women called jane
c. common people d. attractive women
解析：選a。考查詞義猜測題。從語境看，畫線部分的plain janes 指與前面提到的美女相對的、相貌平常的女性，因此選a。
7. we can infer from the passage that ________.
a. hugh grant and elizabeth hurley were a couple
b. nicole kidman and tom cruise were very satisfied with their life
c. when they fail in hollywood, the beautiful have little trouble in making a living
d. the marriage of the beautiful often lasts long
解析：選a。考查推理判斷。最后一段說，外界看上去很完美的關系，比如……未必最終有幸福的結局。再結合上文論述可判斷hugh grant和elizabeth hurley是夫妻關系，故選a，其他選項都與文章內容不符。
8. which of the following is the best title?
a. five key factors affecting the partnership
b. beauties are doomed to fail in love
c. beautiful or common?
d. the beauties are different
解析：選b。考查主旨大意。文章主要論述了美女命運多舛的觀點，并分析了其中的原因，故b項最適合為本文標題。
