试题分析:短文大意:这篇短文主要讲述了身材高大的人相对于矮个的人有很多优势,并以法国总统萨科齐和好莱坞影星汤姆克鲁斯为了说明了人们都想让自己看起来高一些。但是矮个的人也有自己的优势,所以无论是高还是矮都没有什么关系。

1.联系后一句描述可知此处指的是,一个报告说明是这样。结合语境可知本句描述的是客观性的动作,故用一般现在时态。主语study表示抽象含义,不可数,故谓语动词用单数形式,填says,说,说明。

2.结合语境可知此处指的是,他们不能得到足够的尊重。故填形容词much / enough,大量的/足够的。

3.结合语境可知此处指的是,高个的人比矮个的人能挣到更多的钱,得到更多的尊重,有更好的工作。故填介词than,比。

4.联系后一句描述,可知萨科齐访问了一个工厂。结合语境可知本句描述的是过去发生的动作,故用一般过去时态。故填过去式动词visited,参观,访问。

5.联系上下文可知他尽力让自己看起来和卡迪一样高。结合语境本句也是描述的过去发生的动作,故用一般过去时态。填tried,试图,尽力。

6.结合语境可知此处指的是,和卡迪一样的身高。故填形容词same,相同的。

7.联系前半句描述,可知此处指的是,比如癌症。故填介词like,像,如同。

8.结合语境可知此处指的是,一个人无论是高还是矮都没关系。短语whether……or……,是……还是……,故填连词whether,是否。
