E：参考答案
1.strangers 考查名词复数。句意:传统上,我们通常通过陌生人握手、交谈或走路的方式对他们有一个大致的印象。由后面的they可知用名词的复数形式,故答案为strangers。
2.by 考查介词。介词by+ding sth.“通过做某事”,故答案为by。句意:然而,在社交网络时代,第一印象有时是通过查看他们在Twitter或微信等社交平台上的个人资料照片而形成的。
3.which 考查定语从句关系词。“介词+关系代词which(指物)/whm(指人)”引导定语从句。此处study是先行词,指物,所以在介词in后面用关系代词which引导定语从句。故答案为which。句意:根据最近的一项研究,这些社交图片很好地反映了我们的性格。在这项研究中,研究人员使用一款软件来分析个人资料照片,以找出一个人的性格和他的个人资料照片之间是否存在联系。
4.t pse 考查非谓语动词。be likely t d sth.为固定搭配,意为“很可能做某事”。句意:研究结果显示,心胸开阔的人更有可能在个人资料照片中与某个物体合影。故答案为t pse。
5.excited 考查形容词。句意:他们兴奋的脸能告诉我们他们有多享受这次经历。此处表示“感到兴奋的脸”,修饰人作前置定语,故答案为excited。
6.lking 考查非谓语动词。avid ding sth.“避免做某事”,故答案为lking。
7.appearance 考查名词。前有a sad r angry,故此处应填名词appearance。
8.hw 考查宾语从句。句意:除了个人资料照片中的对象外,照片中使用的颜色也显示了主人的外向程度。此处动词shw后面是一个宾语从句,结合句意答案为hw。
9.are fund 考查时态、语态以及主谓一致。此处指的是一种客观事实,且句子主语extrverts与谓语动词find之间是一种被动关系,所以这里用一般现在时态的被动语态,故答案为are fund。句意:例如,外向的人拥有最丰富多彩的个人资料图片,因为他们想要强调自己的个性。
10.urselves 考查代词。句意:下次选择个人资料照片时,也许我们应该先问问自己想要传达什么样的形象。句中主语和宾语一致,宾语用反身代词,ask neself“问某人自己”,用反身代词urselves作宾语。
