Question

【題目】閱讀理解
Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turn around and ,sure enough, someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists(靈學家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “ six sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist（心理學家） at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects (受試者) were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later when he questioned the subjects, almost all of 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 weren't. Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't.
Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
（1）What's the aim of the two experiments for?
A.Prove why humans have a sixth sense.

（2）What sense does parapsychologists say that humans have ?
A.A natural ability to sense when they are stared at。
B.A natural staring ability
C.A strange thinking
D.A looking feeling
（3）The underlined word” outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means?
A.Value
B.Result
C.Performance
D.Connection
（4）In the second experiment, the subjects______.
A.could tell when they were stared at and when they weren't.
B.couldn't tell when they were stared at and when they aren't
C.couldn't tell when they were stared at but could tell when they weren't.
D.could tell when they were stared at but couldn't tell when they weren't.
（5）What can we learn from the passage?

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）D
（2）A
（3）B
（4）B
（5）C
【解析】本句通過兩個實驗證明人沒有第六感。
⑴細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段第二句To research whether such a “ six sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist（心理學家） at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments. 可知是為了研究是否真的有第六感存在，因此選D。
⑵細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段第一句Parapsychologists(靈學家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them.可知靈學家認為人被盯著看是有天生的感知能力。故選A。而B是天生的凝視能力，所以錯誤。
⑶詞義猜測。句意：如果人們懷疑這兩個實驗的……，我建議他們自己來重復這個實驗來親自看一看。value價值；result結果；performance表演；connection聯(lián)系，故選B。
⑷細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't. 可知受測試的人也說不對他們什么時候被盯著什么時候沒有，故選B。
⑸推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段的結論 people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at可知實驗證明了人們沒有感知被盯著的能力，故選C。
