Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．D;3．A;4．B;5．B;
解析：

(4)	推理比较题。本题首先要依据文章情境来判断这些短语的含义，然后进行比较推理。A项是更跟自己过不去，指把气出到自己头上的人；B项是不干涉他人事务的人；C项是自视清高的漂亮女孩；D项是对老师不屑一顾，轻蔑他人的男孩。比较四项，B项自然是较受人的欢迎。
(5)	归纳理解题。文章讲述了关于nose的不同习语不同意思，因此B项可以概括文章意思。

提示：

(1)	推理判断题。从第二段的语境解释可知lead other people by nose意思是“牵着别人的鼻子走”，只有C项最有可能是这种人。
(2)	句意理解题。由This kind of person is interested in other people’s privae matters。He is considered “nosey”。可知对他人私事感兴趣的人即“好管闲事的人”。
(3)	细节理解题。从This means that a situation does not affect or concern me可以看出on skin off my nose意为“不被……影响、干扰”。
