资料：Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pingeon can learm to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.

We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.

Like the human face human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s peronality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate friendly, warm, and so forth.

There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allports, an American psychologist, found nearly18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types——people are described with such terms.

People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and persoality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

What is the main idea of this passage?

A.How to describe people’s personatities
B.How to distinguish people’s faces
C.How to distinguish people both inward and outward
D.How to differ good people from bad people

本题考查的是主旨理解。

【关键词】main idea

【主题句】第一段Faces, like fingerprints, are unique.（脸就像指纹一样独一无二。）；Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon --- can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.（然而，一个非常小的孩子或者一个动物（比如企鹅），他们能学会识别面容。）；第二段We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.（我们也可以通过举止来区分不同的人。当谈到某个人的个性时，我们指的是他或她的行为，说话，思考和感受，这些能让个体区别与他人。）；最后一段But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.（但我们能轻松地区别好人和坏人，因为这两种人在外貌和行为上都有不同之处。）

【解析】第1题问“这篇文章的主要内容是什么？”。首先，第一段指出外貌是区分个体和其他之间差异的重要指标，而这种识别面容的能力在小孩子，甚至是动物身上都能找到。而在第二段，文章提到除了外貌，还可以通过个性举止来识别一个人。此外，在文章结尾，作者提到了区别好人坏人的方法，既可以通过观察外貌，也可以通过行为来判断此人是好是坏。所以C选项“如何从内在和外在来区分一个人”，把原文内容进行总结归纳，应为正确答案。A选项“如何描述人们的个性”，该选项只在第三段最后一句有提及“But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate（体贴的）, friendly, warm, and so forth.”局部信息不能作为全文主旨；B选项“如何区分人脸”，文中并未提及，故排除；D选项“如何区分好人坏人”，该选项只在文章最后一句提及，全文并未多处涉及。
