This fits with the phenomenon that on one hand，fashion models can make a fortune with their good looks，while on the other hand，friends can endlessly debate about who is attractive and who is not，“they added.”Of course，there are some things that people seem to find pretty much universally pleasant to look at，e.g.，most people prefer faces that are symmetric(对称的)．But after analyzing the facial preferences of more than 35,000 volunteers, the researchers found that，it was experiences that seemed to be what shape the “eye of the beholder”．And those experiences are highly specific to each individual. So in other words，it's not your family，where you grew up，or how much money your parents make that shapes who you're attracted to，it's things like the magazines you read, the social activities you've take part in，and even your first boyfriend or girlfriend，that determine these preferences. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了我们认为谁漂亮不是由我们的基因，而是由我们 的经历决定的。 1．What does the underlined word “identical” in Para 2 mean？ B A．unique B．same C．distinguishing D．considerate [解析] 猜测词义题。根据该段画线词后面的定语从句“who share nearly 100 percent of their DNA”，可知该词的意思是“相同的”。 2．Why does the writer talk about the “fashion model”？ C A．To tell us they own beautiful faces which help them earn money. B．To emphasize they have symmetric faces which people widely enjoy. C．To show people's preference for faces partly agree and disagree. D．To explain the role genes play in people's preference. [解析] 写作意图题。根据第三段和第四段可知，作者举时尚模特的例子是为了说明第 三段的观点，人们对脸的偏爱与否各占一部分。 3．Which of the following statements agrees with the theme of the passage?
