相关题目

   Sunday lunch at my sister-in-law,s. We,re discussing a new horror film in which our 13-year-old,acting-mad,nephew Caspar landed a small role. Though everyone wants to see him in his first feature film,his mum won’t see the film (too scary) and neither will his uncle (my husband) .

   For years now,my husband and I have been having discussions on whether or not it's good to be scared by art. I'm still upset that I didn’ t go to see The Blair Witch Project because he wouldn 51 come and I didn't dare to go alone. ‘The things in the movie just stay with me” he says. ' They haunt （萦绕在……心头) me.’

   I don’t like watching violence either,but it doesn’t haunt me afterwards because nothing that I saw is ever much worse than the dark material that already exists in my own head. As a novelist,I know I write about the things that frighten me 一 loss,fear,the raw black edges of life. Being allowed to do this makes me feel safe because I know I can pull back from these things at any time.

   Speaking of fear,I remember my visit to a Victorian prison a few years ago in order to research a novel. I paid my money and went in,following the yellow arrowed path that led into a maze (迷宫) of dark cells. After two minutes,I realized that a) I was alone,b) it was extremely dark,c) I could hear someone crying,and d) I had no idea how much more there was. Yet e) if I turned back now,I could easily lose my way and no one would hear me screaming down there.

   There was no going back. My heart was beating hard and I could hear the pounding of my own blood as I made my way deeper and deeper into the wet and cold stone maze. When I finally came out and saw the sunlight,I was shaking and sweaty.

   I haven’t thought about it in a long time,but,while writing this,I just googled it,only to discover that it's one of the most haunted sites in Britain. Now they tell me!

32. What's the main topic of conversation at Sunday lunch?

   A. Caspar's family background.

   B. The movie Caspar acted in.

   C. The role Caspar played.

   D. Caspar's great dream.

33. Why did the author's husband refUse to see Caspar's film?

   A. Because his sister didn't want to see it.

   B. Because he couldn't stand being afraid.

   C. Because it was not interesting.

   D. Because he didn't love Caspar.

34. The author is not afraid of watching violence thanks to her .

   A. occupation   B. personality

   C. wild imagination   D. previous experiences

   Becoming a lexicographer(词典编纂者) was completely an accident. I came across a want ad for an editorial assistant. I got called for the interview and found out it was for Merriam-Webster. I thought, “Oh,I could do that." Within a couple of months,I realized this was exactly what I needed to do.

   My job is to define new words and update old ones. When I first started,I thought I'd keep a list of words I wrote new entries for. I gave up after a year and a 50-page-long list. The list would grow long and never end. At this point when people ask how many words I've entered,I can't tell them. I have probably looked at every single entry in all of our dictionaries.

   To be a new entry,a word must meet three criteria. First,widespread use. Second,it has to have sustained(持续的) usage over a certain period of time (usually years) . People think of the dictionary as being the bleeding edge,but it's not. By the time a word is in a dictionary,most people have at least seen it. Third,it has to have a meaning.

   Most words don't enter the language in a smooth way. Words will drop out,then increase in use again. There's an uneven upward trend. AIDS,I think,we entered within a year of its first use. It was clear it was not going away anytime soon.

   I've been at this job for almost 17 years. That's kind of crazy in this day and age,but it doesn't get boring. At some time you will have had enough of doing the same work over and over again,but you can find things that are new and fresh and interesting.

24. The author's job as a lexicographer .

   A. was her dream job

   B. disappointed her at first

   C. went beyond her expectations

   D. was due to several months of effort

25. Why did the author give up on her new entry list?

   A. She felt it was useless.

   B. There were too many entries.

   C. There was no need to keep it.

   D. She was too busy to stick to it.

26. What does the underlined part “the bleeding edge” in Paragraph 3 mean?

   A. Something that is new.

   B. Something that is right.

   C. Something that is formal.

   D. Something that is powerful.

27. What does the author think about her job?

   A. She likes it.

   B. She finds it boring.

   C. She is crazy about it.

   D. She feels it is challenging.

   Scientists sometimes use placebos(安慰剂) to test the effectiveness of medicines. They give one group of people the real medicine and another group a placebo which looks exactly like the medicine but is not. It doesn’ t contain any healing elements(成分) .The people don't know which medicine they,re taking. The medicine has to produce better results than the placebo to prove its effectiveness. However,sometimes the people taking the placebo experience improvements in tAeir health. Scientists call this the “piacebo effect”.

   For years,researchers have studied the placebo effect in terms of physical health. However,the findings of a research team in Sweden have attracted people's attention. First the researchers showed a group of people unpleasant pictures and asked them to rank how they felt after seeing the pictures. They gave the highest number to the pictures that gave them the worst feelings. The researchers then gave the people a calming drug and told them that it would reduce their unpleasant feelings. When the team showed the pictures again,the people said they felt much calmer.

   The following day,the researchers showed the people unpleasant pictures again,but this time they gave them a placebo (it was nothing but salt and water) instead of the calming drug without telling them the truth. After taking the placebo,the people's ratings still changed. Their unpleasant feelings reduced by almost 30%.

   So does that mean doctors could use placebos to treat worry or anxiety? Dylan Evans,who has written books about the placebo effect,said ,“Doctors have a duty to care for their patients. But they also have a duty to tell the truth. Placebos seem to pull these two duties in opposite directions."

   Research on the placebo effect has focused on the relationship of mind and body. Many scientists think that a belief that something is helpful actually makes it become helpful. If a person expects a pill to do something,then possibly the body's own chemistry can cause effects similar to what medication might have caused. Increasingly,people are looking at ways of treating the “whole person” 一 not just the body.

25. According to Paragraph 1 ,placebos.

   A. are a kind of special medicine

   B. perform better than medicines

   C. make no difference to patients' general health

   D. are used to prove the effectiveness of medicines

26. What does the experiment conducted by the Swedish team tell us?

   A. Placebos can improve physical health.

   B. Placebos help change people's character.

   C. Placebos can reduce emotional discomfort.

   D. Placebos make people calmer than drugs do.

27. What's Dylan Evans,attitude towards the use of placebos for treating anxiety?

   A. Negative. B. Approving.

   C. Cautious. D. Uncaring.

28. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

   A. The body's own chemistry can be harmful.

   B. Doctors will focus more on treating the body.

   C. People's expectation influences their recovery.

   D. Mental health is more important than physical health.

   Apart from my mother,T ve been very lucky to having had two teachers who have been fundamental influences in my life. The first was my first piano teacher. She really got me interesting in the piano and made a huge impression in me at a very early age. She helped me to learn the basic techniques and develop understanding of the instrument. Then,when I was 16 ,I start studying with my second inspirational teachers. He made me much more confident and encouraged me to enter for competitions even when I felt certain and unconfident about doing this. He had enormous faith in us,and it was this,more than anything else,which inspired me to make music my career.
