D選項(xiàng) A所說的實(shí)驗(yàn)樣本的大小與本題主旨無(wú)關(guān)，不是答案，而是干擾項(xiàng) 。 4. A第四段第三行中 consciously與 A項(xiàng)中的 intentionally是同義詞。 Radel用推遲實(shí)驗(yàn)的方法造就了兩組實(shí)驗(yàn)者，即饑餓組與飽食組。 2. B答案的根據(jù)可在第三段找到。s perceived by our senses affects our way of thinking. C Human brains can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs. D Thinking processes guarantee the normal functions of our senses. 4. What did the results of the experiment indicate? A 80 words flashed on the screen too fast for the participant to intentionally perceive. B Hungry people were better at identifying neutral words. C People who had just eaten were better at identifying foodrelated words. D The participants could barely perceive what they needed or what they strived for. 5. What can we infer from the passage? A 42 participants are too small a number for a serious investigation. B An experiment with hungry and nonhungry participants is not reliable. C Our thinking processes are independent of our senses. D Humans can perceive what they need without involving highlevel thinking processes. 答案與題解： 1. C第一段第二句是本題答案的依據(jù)。 2. University of Nice SophiaAntipolis:法國(guó)尼斯 ?索菲亞 ?安提波利斯大學(xué) ， 簡(jiǎn)稱尼斯大學(xué) ， 1965年經(jīng)法國(guó)政令正式宣布成立。 others were given an hour to get lunch first. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten. For the experiment, the participant looked at a puter screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about l/300th of a second each. They flashed at so small a size that the students could only consciously perceive. A quarter of the words were foodrelated. After each word， each person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words they?d seen — a foodrelated word like cake or a neutral word like boat. Each word appeared too briefly for the participant to really read it. Hungry people saw the foodrelated words as brighter and were better at identifying food related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception ,not in thinking processes, Radel says. “This is something great to me. Humans can really perceive what they need or what they strive for. From the experiment, I know that our brain can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs,” Radel says. 詞匯 ： threshold ， 開端 ； 門檻 disposal ,處置 。配置 neutral ； 中立的 motive ， 目的 strive ， 力求 。尼斯大學(xué)在尼斯市設(shè)有 7處主校園，另外，還在索菲亞 ? 安提波利斯市 (Sophia Antipolis)、戛納市（ Cannes)和芒東市（ Menton)設(shè)有校區(qū)。饑腸轆轆的人只是看 foodrelated words比較清楚，選項(xiàng) C的句意與上述句子的意思完全一致，是答案。 Radel為了保證 42名學(xué)生到達(dá)實(shí)驗(yàn)室時(shí)是空腹，所以要求他們中午到達(dá)。選項(xiàng) B是答案。 B項(xiàng) neutral意思為“中性的 ”， 在本文中的意思是與 foodrelated相對(duì)的 ， 即 “與食物不相關(guān)的 ”， 因此是錯(cuò)誤選擇 。B、 C內(nèi)容也不能直 接從短文中推斷出來(lái)。一項(xiàng)新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)：比起那些剛剛用過餐的人，饑餓的人能更清晰地看到與食品有關(guān)的詞。 雷戴爾招募了健康指數(shù)正常的 42位學(xué)生作為被試者。其余的給 1個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間先吃午飯。由于字體非常之小，被試者只能憑感覺捕捉到字形。 饑餓的人看到與食物有關(guān)的詞更明亮，且能更好地辨認(rèn)出與食物有關(guān)的詞。人類可以真正感知到自身 的需要或者為之奮斗的目標(biāo)。瀏覽 skip ， 跳躍 sync ， 同時(shí) 。 2. pump:不斷播放 (音樂）。本文指用于智能手機(jī)和便攜式計(jì)算機(jī)移動(dòng)設(shè)備的一種以 Linus為基礎(chǔ)的開放源代碼操作系統(tǒng) ， 通過接口和插槽連接多種外部設(shè)備。在進(jìn)行中或準(zhǔn)備中 12. intelligent service robots:智能服務(wù)型機(jī)器人 練習(xí) ： 1.

D It selects a perfectlymatched song and plays it in sync with that beat. 3. Which of the following about Shimi is true? A Robots are limited by their programming instructions, and Shimi is no exception. B Present apps allow the user to shake their head to alert Shimi to skip to the next song.

The team of researchers from the U. S., England, Japan and Portugal investigated the behavior of modernday chimpanzees as they peted for food resources， in an effort to understand what ecological settings would lead a large ape — one that resembles the 6 millionyear old ancestor we shared in mon with living chimpanzees — to walk on two legs. “These chimpanzees provide a model of the ecological conditions under whi
