Question

【题目】阅读理解
Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turn 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 “ six sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist（心理学家） 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 5 to 15 minutes. 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 in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they being stared at and when they weren't. Baker found 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 are being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”
（1）What's the aim of the two experiments for?
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.
（2）What sense does parapsychologists say that humans have ?
A.A natural ability to sense when they are stared at。
B.A natural staring ability
C.A strange thinking
D.A looking feeling
（3）The underlined word” outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means?
A.Value
B.Result
C.Performance
D.Connection
（4）In the second experiment, the subjects______.
A.could tell when they were stared at and when they weren't.
B.couldn't tell when they were stared at and when they aren'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.
（5）What can we learn from the passage?

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.

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）D
（2）A
（3）B
（4）B
（5）C
【解析】本句通过两个实验证明人没有第六感。
⑴细节理解。根据第二段第二句To research whether such a “ six sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist（心理学家） at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments. 可知是为了研究是否真的有第六感存在，因此选D。
⑵细节理解。根据第二段第一句Parapsychologists(灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them.可知灵学家认为人被盯着看是有天生的感知能力。故选A。而B是天生的凝视能力，所以错误。
⑶词义猜测。句意：如果人们怀疑这两个实验的……，我建议他们自己来重复这个实验来亲自看一看。value价值；result结果；performance表演；connection联系，故选B。
⑷细节理解。根据第四段Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren't. 可知受测试的人也说不对他们什么时候被盯着什么时候没有，故选B。
⑸推理判断。根据最后一段的结论 people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at可知实验证明了人们没有感知被盯着的能力，故选C。
