Question

【題目】 The size and shape of your ears show your character (性格）more than any other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.

Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly white), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed whether（是否）a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical.

Ears are all different, and each characteristic（特性）has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes ( the lowest part of the ear). Are they attached (連著) to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he/she just has high blood pressure (高血壓). Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.

本文講了一門古老的科學——從耳朵讀出人們的性格。并詳細講述了如何通過觀察耳朵的大小和形狀對人的性格做出判斷。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)上文In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. 在古時候，人們認為一個大耳朵的人有一個良好和慷慨的性格。由此可推斷出，在過去，人們可能會向一個有大耳朵的人尋求幫助，故選B。

【2】主旨大意題。根據(jù)上文The size and shape of your ears show your character (性格）more than any other parts of the face. 你耳朵的大小和形狀比臉上的任何其他部分都更能顯示你的性格。可知本文主要講性格和耳朵有關，故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)上文And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical. 耳洞大意味著一個人是音樂人。Beethoven是著名的音樂家，照此可推斷他可能有個大耳洞，故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)上文Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, 耳朵總是紅色意味著一個人很容易生氣，可知，如果你經(jīng)常上學遲到，老師會生氣，照此可推斷老師的耳朵會變得更紅，故選D。
