【正文】 was sitting behind them during those periods. Later when he questioned the subjects, almost all them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them. For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they being stared at and when they weren39。t. Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren39。t. Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If people doubt the oute of his two experiments, said Baker, I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves（1）What39。s the aim of the two experiments for? A.Prove why humans have a sixth sense.B.Explain when people can have a sixth senseC.Show how people act while being watched in the labD.Study whether humans can sense when they are stared at（2）The underlined word oute in the last paragraph most probably means? A.ValueB.ResultC.PerformanceD.Connection（3）What is the writers opinion about the the sixth sense? A.He is not sure about itB.He is sure that it doesn39。t exist（存在）C.He wants us to find out together with himD.He agrees with the parapsychologists（4）What can we learn from the passage? A.People are born with a sixth sense.B.the experiments support parapsychologists idea.C.the subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.D.people have a sixth sense in all places.【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】 本文主要講述了一位心理學(xué)家通過兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)來驗(yàn)證人們沒有第六感覺的事。 （1）細(xì)節(jié)題。 根據(jù) To research whether such a six sense really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist（心理學(xué)家） at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments為了研究這種“六感”是否真的存在，心理學(xué)家羅伯特貝克（心理學(xué)家）在肯塔基大學(xué)做了兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)，可知做這兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)就是為了驗(yàn)證人們是否能感覺到有人在看他們 ，故選D。 （2）詞義猜測題。根據(jù) Baker concludes that 貝克總結(jié)說，可知總結(jié)的都是結(jié)果，故oute是result結(jié)果的意思，故選B。 （3）推理題。根據(jù)Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren39。t 貝克發(fā)現(xiàn)受試者并不擅長分辨何時(shí)被注視，何時(shí)沒有 ，可知作者對“第六感”有什么看法是他確信它不存在，故選B。 （4）細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù) Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they’re being stared at. ，可知受試者在實(shí)驗(yàn)中沒有第六感，故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及細(xì)節(jié)題、推斷題，詞義猜測題，細(xì)節(jié)題要注意從文中尋找答案；推斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文，推斷出需要的信息，詞義猜測題需要根據(jù)上下文提煉相關(guān)信息鎖定詞意。9．閱讀理解 A man once visited a temple that was still being built. He saw a sculptor making a sculpture（雕塑）.As he watched the man work on the sculpture, he noticed that there was a similar sculpture lying nearby. He felt very strange and asked the sculptor, Why are you making two same sculptures? Do you need two to put in different places? No, the man said without looking up, We need only one, but the first one became damaged before I could finish it, so I39。m making a new one. The visitor picked up the damaged sculpture and examined it. But he couldn39。t find anything wrong with it. Where is the damage? he asked. There is a scratch（擦痕）on the sculpture39。s nose. the sculptor said while continuing his work. The man then asked, Where are you going to place the sculpture? The sculptor replied that it would be placed on a 20﹣foot﹣high platform（平臺）.If the sculpture is up that high, who is going to notice that there is a scratch on the nose? the man asked. The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the man and said, I will know it. The sculptor chose to stick to a high standard of excellence in his work. Even if other people didn39。t notice it, it mattered to him that his work should be of the best quality.

His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life. This is the finding of a 40year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. Children who worked in the home or munity gained petence（能力） and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, said Daniel Brown, the psychologist（心理學(xué)家） who made the discovery. And because they felt g
