问题    Statuses are marvelous human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we "fit" in society. As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, and whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader.
   The statuses we assume often【C1】______with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed,【C2】______the statuses that various situations require. Much of social【C3】______consists of identifying and selecting among【C4】______statuses and【C5】______other people to assume their statuses【C6】______relation to us. This means that we【C7】______our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of【C8】______and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more【C9】______than others, most of us perform【C10】______rather effortlessly.
   A status has been【C11】______to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose style and【C12】______. But an American is not【C13】______to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or【C14】______of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing【C15】______by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit,【C16】______by our pocketbook. Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain【C17】______made, but apart from minor【C18】______, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their【C19】______. Statuses too come ready made, and the【C20】______of choice among them is limited.
【C2】
选项 A、subsume
B、assume
C、resume
D、presume
答案B
解析 这个题目较容易，由前一句便可知要选B。这是形近词辨析，assume和presume都有“假定”的意思，但assume还有“承担，担任，呈现，具有，穿上，戴上”的意思，subsume是“包含”的意思，而resume作动词是“恢复，重新开始”的意思，作名词是“简历，摘要”的意思。
