Ⅲ.单项选择

A.careful　　 B.proud

解析:句意要表达的是:他就是这么个人,即这就是他的特点--如此无情,应用短语be typical of。careful"细心的";proud"骄傲的";unwise"不明智的",尽管这三个形容词都可以和介词of搭配,但是不符合句意。

答案:C

2.As has been referred to,women 　　　 to live longer than men.

答案:A

3.Making 　　　 between the two languages,you will see some similarities between them.
