题目内容
14．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（灵学家）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 at the University of Kentucky，performed 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（受试者）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 a two-way mirror 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 than，if they had just guessed．
Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they're being stared at．If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments，said Baker，"I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves．"
56．What is the purpose of the two experiments？（No more than 10words）
Prove why humans have a sixth sense．
57．What does the underlined word outcome mean in English？（No more than 5words）
result
58．In the first experiment，what did the subjects say to Baker？（No more than 15words）
The subjects were not told that they would be stared at
59．What did Baker find when he finished the second experiment？（No more than 15words）
The subjects couldn't tell when they were stared at and when they weren't
60．What can we learn from the passage？（No more than 15words）
The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments．
分析 这篇短文主要介绍了两个测试第六感的实验，通过实验告诉我们第六感并不存在．
解答 56．Prove why humans have a sixth sense．写作意图题．根据文中Parapsychologists（灵学家） say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them．可知灵学家们说，人类有一个能在感觉出有人在看他的自然能力．这篇文章就是通过两个实验来证明人类的第六感．
57．result 细节理解题．根据If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments，said Baker，"I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves．"可知"如果人们怀疑他的实验结果，"贝克说，"我建议他们重复实验，看看自己．"outcome是结果的意思是"结果"．
58．The subjects said they had no sense that someone was staring at．细节理解题．根据第三段最后一句 Later，when he questioned the subjects，almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them．几乎所有的受试者回答他们没有感觉到有人盯着他．
59．The subjects couldn't tell when they were stared at and when they weren't 细节理解题．根据倒数第二段Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't．Baker发现受试者在盯着他们看的时候并没有更好地告诉他们什么时候他们不被盯着看．
60．The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments 综合理解题．这篇短文主要介绍了两个测试第六感的实验，通过实验告诉我们第六感并不存在
