[限时检测] [限时30分钟] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A You may not realize it, but when you stare at your partner's eyes, there's a good chance that you're looking at a modified reflection of yourself.Researchers have found that people choose partners who tend to be of similar size, shape, and race as themselves ... and they may even have facial features in common. Take Lot Geels from Amsterdam and her American husband, Brock Mosovsky, for example. “We have similar blonde hair and blue eyes，” says Lot. “Neither of us is very tall. We're both built athletically and we're both mainly of European origin.” Even if you don't look like your partner, you likely share nonphysical characteristics, according to a growing field of research, like education level, socioeconomic status, religion, personality features, and even core values. Lot and Brock fall into this type as well. “We both have PhDs and work in research，” she says. “We both live an active lifestyle, mainly rock climbing and skiing. Our world views are pretty similar, and we're both hard­working, social and friendly people.” Researchers have been studying the phenomenon of people with similarities pairing up—known as positive assortative coupling—for decades.If you're sure that “opposites attract”，you may be surprised by research findings, which prove that like attracts like. However, if you believe that “likes attract”， you probably understand why people surprisingly seek life partners who remind them, on some comforting level, of themselves. “There's an element of predictability when you date somebody of a similar background，” says Ty Tashiro，the author of The Science of Happily Ever After. “They're less threatening, less scary. They'll be more of a familiar person from the start. Familiarity is something we find attractive.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了人们在选择伴侣时会倾向于寻找与自己有诸多共同点的人这一现象。 1．What can we infer about Lot and Brock?
