(1)B.推理判断题。根据第二段中"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(物质的) 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"我想今天早上我瘦了。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。"其目的是炫耀﹣﹣﹣﹣通常是一些物质的东西,但人们假装这不是重点。)"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﹣﹣﹣﹣通常是一些物质价值的东西。由此推知D项"有五个人排着队想和我约会,我都不知道约哪个好"是典型的"凡尔赛文学"。故选B。
(2)B.细节理解题。根据第三段中"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。故选B。
(3)A.词句猜测题。根据划线词上文" humblebragging is a "strategy in pursuit of respect" because it draws attention to one's achievements in a(谦逊是一种"追求尊重的策略",因为它以....的方式吸引人们对自己成就的关注。)"可知,谦虚自夸是用自谦的方式来吹牛。结合上文说它是一种"伪装成抱怨的自夸"推知,这是一种间接表达优越感的方式。划线词circuitous的意思是"间接,迂回"。A.Roundabout迂回的;B.Straightforward简单的;C.Ambiguous模棱两可的;D.Double﹣edged双刃剑,有利有弊。故选A。
(4)D.推理判断题。根据第四段中"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项"吹牛的人要比谦虚自夸者更真诚"可推出;第三段中""Nothing is more deceitful(欺诈的)than the appearance of humility(谦逊)." (没有什么比谦虚的外表更容易骗人的了。)"可知B选项"谦虚自夸是一种假装谦虚的表现"可推出;以及最后一段"So,how can we annoy humblebraggers back? "Just pretend you don't get whatever it is they try to show off," a netizen advised. "And respond with sincere 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:"不管他们炫耀什么,你都假装不懂。并对他们的抱怨报以真诚的同情。")可知C项 "用真正的同情来回应会让谦虚的吹牛者泄气"可推出;故D项If you want to be perceived positively,avoid using Versailles literature.(如果你想被正面地看待,试着使用凡尔赛文学)从文中无法推出。故选D。
