What is intelligence(智力) anyway? When I was in the army I 36 an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against 37 of 100, scored 160.
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not 38 have scored more than 80. __39 , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always 40it.
Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man 41 questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I'd prove myself a 42. In a world where I have to work with my 43 , I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man 44 . He had a habit of telling 45 . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-umb(聋哑) man__46 some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made 47 movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He 48 his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk 49 him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the 50 man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors(剪刀). 51 do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his 52 and asked for them. I've been 53 hat on all my customers today, but I knew 54 I'd catch you.”“Why is that?” I asked. “Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc. I knew you couldn't be very __55 .”
And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

(答案→)36---55 CABDA CDCAB DBCAD BCAAD 解析：36.根据宾语an intelligence test和下文中所得分数160分，可以确定作者“参加了一次智力测验”，而不是没有通过智力测验。在遇到完形填空的选项是动词时，要根据上下文仔细分析动词与宾语的搭配关系。答案为C。 37.against在这里表示对比关系，平均成绩(an average)100分与作者得到的160分相比较，说明作者的智力水平高，为下文自己被一个他估计在这种智力测验中可能得不到80分的汽车修理工提出的问题难住了的故事埋下伏笔。答案为A。 38.根据所提供的情境“when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him”可以判断出这位汽车修理工不是一名军人，他没有参加上文提到的那次智力测验，这是作者的估计，所以要填possibly。同时，“could not+have+过去分词”表示“(过去)不可能”，也对正确选择作了提示。frequently表“频繁”，“经常”。不合题意。答案为B。 39.Yet是并列连词，表示转折，意思是“然而”。在智力测试中不可能得高分，但是，在修理汽车方面却很在行。答案为D。 40.fixed的意思是“安装、固定”。不言而喻，汽车修理工的工作是修理汽车，每当作者的汽车出了毛病急急忙忙去找他时，他都能把汽车修理好。checked的意思是“检查”，只检查解决不了问题。选项C和D都不是汽车修理工的职责，容易排除。答案为A。41.designed的意思是“设计”。假设我的汽车修理工为智力测验设计题目。根据questions的定语for some intelligence tests很容易排除其他三个选项。介词for的意思是“为了”。答案为C。 42.根据下文中这位汽车修理工的话“Why,you fool,”可以确定答案为D。43.从上下文可以看出作者是一名智商很高的医生，是脑力劳动者。比较I'd do poorly.，可知作者假设用自己的双手工作，会做得很差。where I have to work with my hands是定语从句，作world的定语。I'd do poorly.是虚拟语气。答案为C。44.第二段作者谈论了他的汽车修理工在智力测验中可能得比较低的分数，但是，在修理汽车方面却很在行。第三段是作者对自己如果从事体力劳动可能会很差的假设。所以，在第四段再次讲述修理工的故事，要用again。答案为A。45.下文所讲述的聋哑人买钉子和盲人买剪刀的事都是笑话(jokes)。tales的意思是“传说，谎言”。答案为B。46. needed作行为动词的意思是“需要”。needed some nails是这位聋哑人进入商店的原因。选项A(bought)有很大的迷惑性。一些考生认为这位聋哑人到商店的目的是买钉子，所以应填bought。但是，bought some nails(买了一些钉子)表示结果，如果他买了钉子，就不会再进入商店了。答案为D。 47.因为这位聋哑人到商店买钉子，所以他把两只手指放在柜台上作夹钉子的动作，另一只手做锤子敲打的动作(hammering movements)。答案为B。 48.售货员给他拿出了锤子，他摇了摇头，表示售货员误解了他的意思。答案为C。 49.售货员给他拿出了钉子。packed的意思是“包装”；sent的意思是“送”；sold的意思是“卖”。都与下文中所提的情境He picked out the right size and left.不符。答案为A。 50.下一个进来的是一位盲人。the other man的意思是“剩下的另一个”，表示只有两个人。the right man的意思是“合适的人”。the clever man的意思是“聪明的人”。都与上下文的意思不符。答案为D。51.这是一个特殊疑问句。do you suppose是插入语。he asked for them是一个完整的句子，所以不能填What, Who或Which，它们在特殊疑问句中都充当主语、宾语或表语。How表示方式，意思是“如何”。答案为B。 52.盲人会说话，他们买东西时用自己的话语表达自己的意思就可以了。voice的意思是“说话的声音”。答案为C。53.我今天用这个故事耍弄了我的所有顾客。trying sth. on sb.的意思是“用某事耍弄某人”；proving的意思是“证明”；practising作及物动词的意思是“练习，实行”；examining的意思是“检查，考试”。答案为A。 54.for sure的意思是“肯定地，有把握地”。汽车修理工在下文中所说的话说明他有把握使作者上当受骗。at one的意思是“马上，立刻”；in fact的意思是“事实上”；right now的意思是“就在现在”，均不合语意。答案为A。 55.smart除了有“聪明，伶俐”的意思外，还有“滑头，诡”的意思。从上文的内容我们可以看出，作者是一位医生，在部队里的一次智力测验中得过高分，但是，正因为如此，他才会按常规思维，所以汽车修理工说：“因为你受过足够的教育，我知道你不可能很滑头。”goddamned表示褒义时，意思是“十分的，完全的”；表示贬义时，意思是“该死的，讨厌的”。答案为D。

我明天再问问老师，叫他解释下这个问题
