【解析】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲了在西方文化中,人们经常通过一个人的幽默感来判断其智商,并解析了原因。
1. 考查代词。句意:研究结果显示在每一种文化中,男性和女性都渴望自己未来的一半是聪明的。本句是主语从句,谓语 turns out之前缺少主语,其真正的主语为turns out 后面的句子,因此,可知本句缺少形式主语,故填It。
2. 考查非谓语。句意:但是我们的IQ并不是印在额头上。本句已经有了谓语don’t have, 给出词print跟谓语并无并列关系,因此可知print为非谓语。IQs跟print之间为被动关系,用have sth. done结构,故填printed。
3. 考查词性转换。句意:我们怎么知道一个人是聪慧的呢?根据know that可知后面为宾语从句。因此,someone’s不是所有格形式,而是someone is 的缩写形式。be动词后需要形容词充当表语。故填intelligent。
4. 考查词性转换。句意:因为创作和理解笑话都需要关联好多信息,所以具有幽默感意味着我们知识渊博,并且我们懂得以一种新奇且有创造性的方式来思考问题。本句make为及物动词,后面需要添加名词充当宾语,再结合between many separate pieces of information可知需要跟很多条信息相关联,用名词复数。故填connections。
5. 考查动名词。句意:同上。前面的Because…为原因状语从句,可知have后面整个部分为主句。主句的shows为谓语,可知前面为主语,因此have须变为动名词。故填having。
6. 考查从属连词。句意:同上。前面的Because…为原因状语从句,可知have后面整个部分为主句。shows后面为宾语,两个句子之间有and可知它们都为宾语从句。第二个句子意思完整,故填that。
7. 考查固定搭配/介词。句意:以一部卡通片为例。本题考查固定搭配take sth for example,意为“以…为例”。固填for。
8. 考查副词。句意:为了能够理解这个笑话,你需要知道老鼠是猫的天敌,很多枪有六发子弹,猫据说有九条命,因为猫总有能安全着地的能力。从are the victims of cats 可知此处为系表谓语,usual为形容词。usual修饰系表谓语时,需要变为副词。故填usually。
9. 考查被动语态。句意:同上。主语本句有后面的动词都为不定式,故可知say为谓语。主语cats与say之间为被动关系,再结合上下文,可知时态为一般现在时,故填are said。
10. 考查非谓语。句意:你也需要会做数学题,以便能够理解在此幕中猫所拥有的优势。本句的谓语为need to be able to do sth ,因此可知understand为非谓语,understand表目的,故填to understand。
