资料：Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pingeon can learm to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.

We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.

Like the human face human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s peronality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate friendly, warm, and so forth.

There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allports, an American psychologist, found nearly18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types——people are described with such terms.

People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and persoality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

Which of the following is NOT true?

A.People differ from each in appearance
B.Different people may have different personalities
C.People can learn to recognize faces
D.People can describe all the features of others

本题考查的是细节理解。

【关键词】NOT true

【主题句】第一段Faces, like fingerprints, are unique.（脸就像指纹一样独一无二。）；Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon --- can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.（然而，一个非常小的孩子，或者一个动物（比如企鹅），他们能学会识别面容）；Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another.（可能即使是一位熟练的作家，他也不能把两张脸不同之处的所有特点描述出来。）；第二段When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.（当谈到某个人的个性时，我们指的是他或她的行为，说话，思考和感受，这些能让个体区分他人。）

【解析】第3题问“以下哪一项不是正确选项？”。A选项“人们的外貌都有不同”，该选项和第一段第一句话“脸就像指纹一样独一无二”内容一致；B选项“不同的人可能有不同的个性”，和文章第二段第二句话一致。C选项“人们能学会识别人脸”，和第一段第四句话“然而，一个非常小的孩子，或者一个动物（比如企鹅），他们能学会识别面容”内容一致。D选项“人们能把别人的所有特点描述出来”，和文章第一段第三句内容相反，原文说“即使是一位熟练的作家，他也不能把两张脸不同之处的所有特点描述出来”，说明没有人能说出所有特点，所以D选项为错误选项。
