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.The author is most probably a_______
A：psychologist
B：behaviorist
C：writer
D：sociologist

答案：

解析：

本题考查的是细节推理。【关键词】author 【主题句】第一段Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people?（你是否对我们如何识别人而感到疑惑？）；第二段We also tell people apart by how they behave.（我们也能通过人们的举止来区分。）第三段Like the human face, human personality is very complex.（就像人脸一样，人类的个性非常复杂。）第四段Gordon all ports, an American psychologist…（Gordon all ports是一位美国的心理学家。）【解析】第2题问“作者最有可能从事什么职业？”。根据整篇文章内容，该文讲述了区分不同人的方法：外貌和行为个性。四个选项哪个选项是研究人类行为的呢？A选项“心理学家”，他是研究人类行为的专家，心理学家关心人们为什么那样思想，那样行动。所以A为正确答案。B选项“行为主义者”，他们的主要观点是认为心理学不应该研究意识，只应该研究行为，把行为与意识完全对立起来。B选项过于片面，所以排除；C选项“作家”，该选项过于笼统，应该选择带有某一专业背景的人物，故排除；D选项“社会学家”，他们是观察和分析社会的方式，和原文不符，排除。此外，文章第四段举例处提到一位美国的心理学家，所以该文作者也应该是研究该领域的一位学者。
