【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Do you have memories of being kidnapped (绑架)by aliens and taken away rapidly in a spaceship? You wouldnt be alone. Several thousand people worldwide reported to have had such experiences, researchers say. But in a new study, a psychology expert at Londons Goldsmiths College says these experiences are proof of the weakness of the human memory, rather than evidence of life in outer space.

Maybe what we’re dealing with here is false memories, and not that people are actually being kidnapped and taken aboard spaceships,” says Professor Chris French, who surveyed 19 so-called victims.

Several of the victims reported being taken away from their beds or cars by alien creatures around four feet high, with long and lean arms and legs and over-sized heads, French said. Some men said they were forced to take painful medical examinations by the aliens.

Many of the alien experiences could be explained by sleep paralysis, a condition in which a person is awake and aware of the surroundings but is unable to move. Sleep paralysis often leads to hallucinations —the experience of seeing or feeling something that is not really there and 40 percent of people experience the state at least once in their lives, French said. A rich imagination was also at play. Several of the alien victims were more likely to fantasize and reported to have seen ghosts and have unnatural abilities.

People have very rich fantasy lives,” said French, who is due to present his findings at a public seminar at London’s Science Museum on Wednesday. “So much that they often mix up what’s happening in their heads with what is going on in the real world.”

【1】According to Chris French, if someone told you an alien experience again, you might _____.

A. believe the story B. report it to the police

C. wonder why D. just laugh it away

【2】The underlined word fantasize in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.

A. have good memories B. tell the truth

C. use vivid imagination D. make up excuses

【3】What is the authors attitude towards alien experiences?

A. Puzzling B. Objective.

C. Respectful. D. Supportive.

【4】Where can this passage probably be found?

A. A science magazine. B. A textbook.

C. A science fiction. D. A storybook.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】

试题分析:本文属于科普说明文,介绍了人们对于外星人劫持地球人事件的研究,很可能是人们的记忆方面存在的问题,很多这方面的报道通常只是人们编造出来的。

【1】D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句But ........ays these experiences are proof of the weakness of the human memory, rather than evidence of life in outer space.和第二段第一句Maybe what were dealing with here is false memories, and not that people are actually being kidnapped and taken aboard spaceships, says Professor Chris French, who surveyed 19 so-called victims.可知实际上人们说他们被外星人带走可能是一种记忆方面的错误并非事实。所以当有人告诉你他被外星人带走的时候,通常都是假的,你别当真。故D正确。

【2】C 词义猜测题。根据第四段第三句A rich imagination was also at play可知在此过程中,人们也使用了丰富的想象力。编造出了被外星人带走路的故事。所以fantasize意为C项含义。

【3】B 态度观点题。作者在文章中对于外星人劫持地球人并没有发表自己的评论,只是客观的介绍科学家对这一现象的研究,说明他的态度是objective。故B正确。

【4】A 推理判断题。本文属于科普说明文,介绍了人们对于外星人劫持地球人报告的研究,很可能是人们的记忆方面存在的问题,很多所谓的这方面的报道通常只是人们编造出来的。所以本文最可能是从科学杂志里摘录出来的。故A正确。

【题目】When people reunite with their loved ones, it’s usually all extremely happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange,but most of the time they break down in tears.

Now a group of psychologists from Yale University say they have found the reason why, and that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of keeping emotional balance. “They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions,” Oriana Aragon, the lead researcher said.

Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things —— to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏)a cute baby’s face or even tell them “I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.

There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像). People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears. “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together.” said Aragon.
