(1)B.推理判断题。根据文章第二段Known as humblebragging,it is a boast (吹牛)disguised as a complaint."I have too many houses .How can I decide which one to decorate? "and"I thought I lost weight this morning.So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night' are some examples of Versailles literature.The intention is to show off ﹣﹣usually things of materialistic values,yet one ought to pretend that's not the point.(这被称为谦虚自夸,是一种伪装成抱怨的自夸。"我的房子太多了。我怎么决定要装饰哪一个呢?和"我以为今天早上我瘦了。"当我意识到是因为我把昨晚男朋友送给我的巨大钻石戒指摘下来的时候,我非常失望。"这些都是凡尔赛文学的例子。其目的是炫耀﹣通常是一些物质价值的东西,但人们应该假装这不是重点。)可知,"凡尔赛文学"是指谦虚自夸,是一种伪装成抱怨的自夸,其目的是炫耀﹣﹣通常是一些有价值的东西。B.Got five offers to date.I'm at a loss which to choose.(到目前为止有五个人想跟我约会。我不知道该选哪一个)正确。故选B.
(2)B.推理判断题。根据文章第三段The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one's successes and be liked by others at the same time,according to scholars.(根据学者们的研究,谦虚自夸背后的心理是为了在获得成功的同时得到别人的认可和喜欢)可知,谦虚自夸背后的心理是为了赢得别人的钦佩。B.To earn others' admiration.(赢得别人的赞赏)正确。故选B.
(3)A.词句猜测题。根据上文that humblebragging is a 'strategy in pursuit of respect(谦虚自夸是一种"追求尊重的策略")可知,谦虚自夸是用自谦的方式来吹牛,是一种绕弯的方式。由此可推知because it draws attention to one's accomplishments in a circuitous way.意为"因为它以一种迂回的方式将人们的注意力吸引到一个人的成就上。"(通常是一些物质价值的东西。) 因此crcuitous意为:迂回的。A.roundabout迂回的;B.straightforward直接的;C.ambiguous模棱两可的;D.double﹣edged也有模棱两可的意思,还有双刃剑的(有利有弊的)意思。故选A.
(4)D.推理判断题。注意题目问的是不能can't be inferred,定位到第四段People don't like braggers,but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers(人们不喜欢吹牛的人,但至少他们觉得这些人比谦虚自夸者更真诚。)可知A.Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.(吹牛的人要比谦虚自夸者更真诚)正确;第三段nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility(没有什么比谦虚的外表更容易骗人的了)对应B.Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.(谦虚自夸是一种虚假的谦虚外表),正确;最后一段So,how can we annoyhumblebraggers back? "Just pretend you don't get whatever it is they try to show off."a netizen advised."And respond with genuine sympathy for their complaints. "(那么,我们该如何回应这些谦虚的吹牛者呢?一位网友建议道:"他们想炫耀的是什么,你就假装什么都不懂吧。并对他们的抱怨报以真诚的同情。")可知C.To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.(用真正的同情来回应会让谦虚的吹牛者泄气)正确;而文中没有提到如何被认可,所以D.If you want to be perceived positively,avoid using Versailles literature.(如果你想被正面地看待,避免使用凡尔赛文学)从文中无法推出。故选D.
