    Proper street behavior in the United States requires a nice balance of attention and inattention. You are supposed to look at a 1 just enough to show that you’re 2 of his presence. If you look too little, you appear haughty (目中无人的) or furtive (诡秘的), too much 3 you’re inquisitive. Usually what happens is that people 4 each other until they are about eight feet 5 , at which point both cast down their eyes. Sociologist Erving Goffman 6 this as “a kind of dimming of lights.”

    Much of eye behavior is so 7 that we react to it only on the intuitive level. The next time you have a 8 with someone who makes you feel liked, notice what he does with his eyes. 9 are he looks at you more often than is usual with 10 a little longer than the normal. You interpret this as a sign—a polite one—31 he is interested in you as a person 12 just in the topic of conversation. Probably you also feel that he is both 13 and sincere.

    All this has been demonstrated in elaborate 14 . Subjects sit and talk in the psychologist’s laboratory, 15 of the fact that their eye behavior is being 16 from a one-way vision screen. In one fairly typical experiment, 17 were induced to cheat while performing a task, then were 18 and observed. It was found that those who had 19 met the interviewer’s eyes less often than was 20 , an indication that “shifty eyes” —to u se the mystery writers’ stock phrase—can actually be a tip-off to an attempt to deceive or to feelings of guilt.

    1.[答案] C

    [考点] 上下文推理

    [分析] 四个选项中的词似乎都可填入空格，但根据常识，若对方是朋友，那么你就不可能仅仅是看看而已，故[A]friend不恰当;上下文中也没有线索表示你看的是一个外国人，所以[B]foreigner也不恰当。[D] stranger(陌生人)可以指马路上你不认识的任何人。但从上下文看，你所看的是离你较近的人(about eight feet apart)，因此[C]passerby(过路人)要比[D]stranger更符合上下文的意思，因此[C]是正确答案。

    2.[答案] A

    [考点] 形容词辨析

    [分析] 本题要求填入后接of的形容词。[B]curious(好奇的)和[D]uneasy(不安的)后接about,可首先排除;[C]ignorant(不知道的)后接of，但填入句子与句意发生矛盾，故也不是正确答案;[A]aware(知道的，有意识的)后接of，填入后符合句意，所以是正确答案。
