D) our choice of statuses is limited
Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we "fit" in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on.
注：1.首句主题句
2.fit 加了引号，意义有所改变
3.property 财产，尤指房产
The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.
注：1.I am nobody 我是无名之辈；somebody 大人物；I am small / big potato 我是小/大人物；
2.this means 解释上一句，所以这句与上一句难句意思应该接近
3.mental process 思维过程
4.effortlessly 毫不费力的
52. According to the writer, people often assume different statuses _________.
A) in order to identify themselves with others
B) in order to better identify others
C) as their mental processes change
D) as the situation changes
注：different 对应第第二段中的 various，该题应为第二段第一句改写
53. The word "appraisal" (Line 5, Para. 2) most probably means "___________".
A) involvement
B) appreciation
C) assessment
D) presentation
注：词汇题。一种心理活动，A 涉及，B 感激，C 评价，D 成交，故排除非心理活动A项和D项，采用代入法可排除B项
54. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the pronoun "it" refers to "_________".
A) fitting our actions to those of other people appropriately
B) identification of other people's statuses
C) selecting one's own statuses
D) constant mental process
注：指代题。二段末句中的前半句中的 the task,而task又指代的是前边一句中提到的内容
A status has been #pared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume (服装) of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook (钱包). Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statues too #e ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited.
