　　ANSWER:1.選J)。此處應填副詞。可選項有totally和alone，由前一句中just可推出，外表上的細節(jié)僅僅能告訴我們這個人的健康狀況，平時的營養(yǎng)狀況以及他所從事的工作而不能看出他所處的階級，故排除totally而選alone 惟一 。采集者退散

　　2.選D)。此處應填形容詞。因此此句和前一句是在將以前的工人階級和上層階級的身體狀況進行對比，故此處應填與small 矮的 意思相反的詞，選項中只有tall符合題意。而full 豐滿的 不能用來修飾sporting types,故排除。

　　3.選G)。此處應填名詞。現(xiàn)在的生活和工作條件改善了，情況已經(jīng)不同了。而such指代的是上文中對一百年以前工人階級和上層階級的身體狀況的身體狀況的描述，故descriptions 描述 符合題意。

　　全文翻譯：如今，沒法一眼就判斷一個人屬于哪個階層。外表上的細節(jié)只能告訴我們這個人的健康狀況，平時的營養(yǎng)狀況以及他所從事的工作。而100年前，工人階級看上去常常顯得不健康，身材矮小，不是太瘦就是太胖。上層階級的人卻常常是身材高大的運動員體型，他們因為營養(yǎng)良好而看上去很健康?，F(xiàn)在生活和工作條件改善了，那樣的描述已不再正確了。現(xiàn)在的人比100年前的人要高些。然而，人們選擇的衣著確實給他們的背景提供了一些線索。最直觀的就是衣服的價格，價格不菲的衣服看上去很昂貴，也能顯示出穿衣者的富有。當然衣服也能提供一些其他方面的線索。上層階級對潮流不那么感興趣。他們會穿質(zhì)地好，顏色暗一點的衣服，通常是由羊毛，皮革和棉花等天然材料制成的。而下層工人階級則挑一些顏色鮮艷由人工原料制成的衣服。社會學對于這一點的解釋是：工人階級的生活中缺乏亮麗的色彩，他們也無法去追求個人興趣，因此只要有機會增加色彩，他們就會抓住這個機會。服裝的價錢適當，大部分人都買得起。新衣服能讓穿衣人感覺良好，同時也能向外界顯示出此人的富裕程度。但是現(xiàn)在，一些新潮流是從下層勞動階級興起的。他們想讓自己看上去與眾不同并覺得自己很重要。他們只是想吸引別人的目光。
