17.Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched?You turned around and,sure enough,someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists (靈學(xué)家 ) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them.To research whether such a"sixth sense"really exists,Robert Baker,a psychologist (心理學(xué)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 5to 15minutes.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 were being stared at and when they weren‟t.Baker found that 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‟re being stared at.If people doubt the of his two experiments,said Baker,"I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves."

61.What‟s the aim of the two experiments for?D
A.Prove why humans have a sixth sense.
B.Explain when people can have a sixth sense.
C.Show how people act while being watched in the lab.
D.Study whether humans can sense when they are stared at.
62.What sense does Parapsychologists say that humans have to?A
A.A natural ability.
B.A natural staring ability.
C.A strange thinking.
D.A looking feeling.
63.The underlined word"outcome"in the last paragraph most probably meansB.
A.value 
B.result 
C.performance 
D.connection
64.In the second experiment,the subjectsB.
A.could tell when they were stared at and when they weren‟t.
B.couldn‟t tell when they were stared at or when they weren‟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.
65.What can we learn from the passage?C
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.

分析 心理學(xué)家(靈學(xué)家)說(shuō),人類有一個(gè)自然感覺(jué)到有人在看著他們.要研究是否有這樣的"第六感"真的存在,羅伯特貝克,心理學(xué)家在肯塔基大學(xué),進(jìn)行兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn).
第一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn),貝克坐在公共場(chǎng)所,在毫無(wú)知曉的人們后面盯著他們的背看5到15分鐘.受試者吃,喝,讀書(shū),讀書(shū),看電視,或在電腦上工作.貝克確保不告訴人們,他坐在他們后面.后來(lái),當(dāng)他問(wèn)這個(gè)問(wèn)題,幾乎所有人都稱他們沒(méi)有感覺(jué)到有人正盯著他們.
第二個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn),貝克告訴被治療者(subjects),他們要不時(shí)從后面瞪著一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)室里的雙面鏡.人們必須寫(xiě)下什么時(shí)候他們感到被盯,以及什么時(shí)候他們沒(méi)有被盯.貝克發(fā)現(xiàn),受試人在說(shuō)出他們被盯的時(shí)間與沒(méi)有被盯的時(shí)間之間沒(méi)有好轉(zhuǎn).
貝克得出結(jié)論,認(rèn)為人們沒(méi)有能力感到別人盯著他看或不看.如果人們質(zhì)疑他的兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn),貝克說(shuō),"我建議他們重復(fù)實(shí)驗(yàn)去自己看看."

解答 61.D.主旨大意題.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可知,"要研究是否有這樣的"第六感"真的存在,羅伯特貝克,心理學(xué)家在肯塔基大學(xué),進(jìn)行兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn).",所以"下面兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)的目的就是否有這種能力存在",故選D.
62.A.細(xì)節(jié)題解題.根據(jù)Paraps ychologists(靈學(xué)家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them.可知,"心理學(xué)家(靈學(xué)家)說(shuō),人類有一個(gè)自然感知的能力能感覺(jué)到有人在看著他們.",故選A.
63.B.詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments,said Baker,"I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves"可知,"如果人們質(zhì)疑他的兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)的…,貝克說(shuō),"我建議他們重復(fù)實(shí)驗(yàn)去自己看看",這里應(yīng)指質(zhì)疑實(shí)驗(yàn)的結(jié)果,所以才會(huì)建議重復(fù)實(shí)驗(yàn).其余選項(xiàng)"價(jià)值,表現(xiàn),聯(lián)系"不符合句意,故選B.
64.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren‟t.Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't可知,"人們必須寫(xiě)下什么時(shí)候他們感到被盯,以及什么時(shí)候他們沒(méi)有被盯.貝克發(fā)現(xiàn),受試人在說(shuō)出他們被盯的時(shí)間與沒(méi)有被盯的時(shí)間之間沒(méi)有好轉(zhuǎn).也就是說(shuō)受試者不能說(shuō)出他們什么時(shí)候被盯什么時(shí)候不被盯.故答案為:B.
65.C.主旨大意題.根據(jù)Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at可知,"貝克得出結(jié)論,認(rèn)為人們沒(méi)有能力感到別人盯著他看或不看",所以"實(shí)驗(yàn)證實(shí)沒(méi)有第六感的存在",故選C.
