　　2014年 英语(二) 阅读理解的第二篇是关于心理学方面的文章。文都高端英语老师认为这篇文章的五道题目充分演绎的定位替换的解题思路，难度适中。只要考生熟练掌握考前总结的解题思路，足以应对。

　　26. According to the first paragraph, social psychologist have found that ______.细节题。题干问的是文章第一段中社会心理学家发现了什么，对应首段末尾and shown that, for example, 70% of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93% in driving and 85% at getting on well with others—all obviously statistical impossibilities.

　　选项 our self-ratings are unrealistically high对应obviously statistical impossibilities，“对自己的评价高得离谱”对应“数据明显不可能”，为最佳答案。其余干扰选项较容易排除。

　　27. Visual recognition is believed to be people’s______. 细节题。选项分别为 rapid watching快速的观看;conscious choice，有意识的选择;intuitive response，直觉反应;automatic self-defense，自动自卫。根据题干Visual recognition 定位到第三段第三句，Visual recognition, reads the study, is "an automatic psychological process occurring rapidly and intuitively with little or no apparent conscious deliberation". 从四个形容词和名词构成的短语中不难选出“intuitive response，直觉反应”为最佳答案。

　　28. Epley found that people with higher self-esteem tended to_____ _. 细节题。选项分别为underestimate their insecurities;believe in their attractiveness;cover up their depressions;oversimplify their illusions。根据题干中people with higher self-esteem定位到第四段第二句，In fact those who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real directly corresponded with those who showed other makers for having higher self-esteem. 辨析四个选项中的关键词，只有“believe in their attractiveness相信自己的魅力”能够作为答案。其余三个关键词insecurities、depressions、illusions均与原文不符。

　　29. The word “Viscerally”(Line 2, para.5) is closest in meaning to__ ___. 词义题。解词义题的根本是要认识四个选项。Instinctively 本能地;occasionally 偶然地;　particularly 特别地;aggressively 积极地。解题的思路是根据上下文语境推测。因此，本题Viscerally词后破折号后的句子自然成为破题之处——on one level, they don’t even recognise the person in the picture as themselves。再依照单词型词义题的根本途径——带入法可得，“Instinctively 本能地”最符合原文逻辑。

　　30. It can be inferred that Facebook is self-enhancer’s paradise because people can ___ __. 推理题。由题干中Facebook定位文章结束处Facebook therefore, is a self-enhancer’s paradise, where people can share only the most flattering photos, the cream of their wit ,style ,beauty, intellect and lifestyle. It’s not that people’s profiles are dishonest, ... but they portray an idealized version of themselves. 选项present their dishonest profiles与原文意思相反;选项define their traditional life styles中的traditional 和选项share their intellectual pursuits中的 pursuits与原文不符;选项withhold their unflattering sides是对原文where people can share only the most flattering photos的双重否定，强调展示最理想的一面，是为完美的替换，标准答案。
