【正文】 上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。 When you go to the doctor, you like to e away with a prescription．It makes you feel better to know you will get some medicine. But the doctor knows that medicine is not always needed. Sometimes all a sick person needs is some reassurance that all will be well. In such cases the doctor may prescribe a placebo. The study of the placebo opens up new knowledge about the way the human body can heal itself. It is as if there was a doctor in each of us. The doctor will heal the body for us if we let it. But it is not yet known just how the placebo works to heal the body. Some people say it works because the human mind fools itself. These people say that if the mind is fooled into thinking it got medicine, then it will act as if it did, and the body will feel better. A placebo can also have bad effects. If patients expect a bad reaction to medicine, then they will also show a bad reaction to the placebo. This would seem to show that a lot of how you react to medicine is in your mind rather than in your body. Some doctors still think that if the placebo can have bad effects it should never be used. They think there is still not enough known about it.It contains some sort of medicine.B.t function if you are negative about medicine.C.t believe placebo can39。D.The patient needs help badly．B.The doctor knows better about your body．The doctor has carefully studied medicine．（3）What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

Dad put process and work charts in the bathrooms. Every child old enough to write — and Dad expected his children to start writing at a young age — was required to sign their names on the charts in the morning after he had brushed his teeth, taken a bath, bed his hair, and made his bed. At night, each child had to weigh himself, mark the figure on a graph, and sign the process charts again after he had done his homework, washed his hands and face, and brushed his teeth. Mother wanted to have a place on the charts for saying prayers, but Dad said as far as he was concerned prayers were voluntary. “I can save fortyfour seconds,” he plained, “but I wasted two minutes this morning putting this bandage on my throat.” It wasn39。s house considered a sort of school?

Yes, at home or on the job, Dad was always the efficiency expert.”可知，簽署圖表的目的是為了幫助我們有效地做事。（3）考查推理判斷。t the injured throat that really bothered him. It was the two minutes.”可知，父親抱怨他沒能縮短他的剃須時間。（4）考查推理判斷。故選B。5．閱讀理解 As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.s. Then the team switched from reallife objects to Tshirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the Oshirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a twodimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.ve been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes outthink and outfeel other animals. They39。 Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, 1 started to wonder: Will the new science of food animals bring an ethical (倫理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science? .

A.B.Science Reports on Food AnimalsD.人類不應只將它們當作食物。根據(jù)第二段中的“When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons choose some times to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one”可知，當解決問題時，母雞們會推理：例如，受過挑選彩色紐扣的訓練的母雞們有時會選擇放棄即時的食物獎勵，換取稍晚一些(而且更好)的食物獎勵。故選B。根據(jù)第三段中的“Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O39。當木板換成帶X和O標記的襯衫時，豬仍然只走向那些穿帶O標記襯衫的研究者。故選D。根據(jù)第四段中的“At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes outthink and outfeel other animals...Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social panions.
