Question

Hi！Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble—and was he? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later? Maybe you have ESP (超感覺(jué)知覺(jué)).
　　ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.
　　Here's an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, "My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.
　　There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what's behind these strange mental messages. Here's another example—one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.
　　A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, "There's room for one more."
　　Then the man saw that the driver's face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn't get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!
　　Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.

Answer 1

【小題1】A
【小題2】D
【小題3】D
【小題4】B

解析試題分析：【小題1】A 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real.說(shuō)明他認(rèn)為ESP可能存在。以后會(huì)被解釋清楚的。
【小題2】D 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.說(shuō)明D正確。
【小題3】D 推理題。根據(jù)本句Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real.說(shuō)明一些人認(rèn)為這些都是偶然巧合的事情，其他人卻說(shuō)ESP可能是存在的，故該詞指偶然發(fā)生的巧合。故D正確。
【小題4】B 主旨大意題。文章主要是關(guān)于ESP也稱(chēng)為第六感。故B正確。
