Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.Handsome male executives were perceived as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success.Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than was that of attractive overnight successes.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine” qualities required.This is true even in politics. “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.1. The word “liability” (Line 5, Para. 1) most probably means “______”.2. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ______.3. Bowman’s experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness ______.4. It can be inferred from the passage that people’s views on beauty are often ______.5.

The word “liability” (Line 5, Para. 1) most probably means “______”.1. 单词“liability”(第1段第5行)最有可能是“______”的意思。
A. misfortune A. 不幸B. instability B. 不稳定C. disadvantage C. 缺点D. burden D. 负担【考查点】词汇推断题【解题思路】第一步:句中前后信息衔接,第一段“文章开头讲了许多漂亮在工作,生活中的优点,但最后发生了转折:But in the executive(主管的)circle, beauty can become a liability.“在管理圈内,漂亮有可能变为不利”,前面的内容是说美能够带来的好处,比如让咨询师给出更好的建议,让法官轻判,后面单词与前面形成转折,所以可以排除A、B选项第二步,上下文语义衔接,下文第三段中有提到“他们的成功不是归功于能力,而是运气等因素(not to ability but to factors such as luck.)”,就是因为美丽所以导致人们带有色眼镜看自己,这使自己无形之中形成了缺点,所以答案选C选项干扰项排除】A选项“不幸”,文章没有提及,属于无中生有;B选项“不稳定”,文章没有提及,属于无中生有;D选项“负担”,文章没有提及,属于无中生有2.【选项释义】2. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ______. 2. 在传统的女性工作中,吸引力______。
A. reinforces the feminine qualities required A. 巩固了带有女性特征的品质B. makes women look more honest and capable B. 让女人看起来更诚实、更有能力C. is of primary importance to women C. 对妇女至关重要D. often enables women to succeed quickly D. 常使妇女迅速成功【考查点】事实细节题【解题思路】第一步,精准定位,定位到文章第六段第二句:“有魅力的女性在传统的属于女性的工作中具有优势,但是一个漂亮的女人在传统的男性工作中似乎缺乏所需的‘男性’素质”;第二步,综合理解,这里可知D选项“常使妇女迅速成功”正确干扰项排除】A选项“巩固了带有女性特征的品质”,文章没有提及,属于无中生有;B选项“让女人看起来更诚实、更有能力”,定位到第五段第一句“让女人看起来更诚实、更有能力”,所有不漂亮的女性高管都被认为比漂亮的女性高管更正直,更有能力,所以B选项错误,这里属于反向干扰;C选项“对妇女至关重要”,文章没有提及吸引力对女性很重要,反而暗含着漂亮对女性是个阻碍,C选项属于无中生有。
3.【选项释义】3. Bowman’s experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness ______.3. 鲍曼的实验表明,当涉及到政治时,吸引力______A. turns out to be an obstacle to men A.对男人来说是阻碍B. affects men and women alike B.对男人和女人都有同样的影响C. has as little effect on men as on women C.对男人和女人的影响一样小D. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women D.对女性来说,更多的是一个障碍而不是一个好处【考查点】事实细节题【解题思路】第一步,寻找精准定位,定位到最后一段第一句“结果显示,有魅力的男性完全击败(utt。
