In normal circumstances I would have left such a party immediately．题目和参考答案——青夏教育精英家教网—

Rumor (谣言) is the most primitive(原始的) way of spreading stories--- by passing them on from mouth to mouth, but civilized countries in normal times have better sources of news than rumor. They have radio, television, and newspapers. In times of confusion ( 混乱 ), however, rumor appears and becomes widespread. At such times the different kinds of news are in competition: the press, television, and radio against the grapevine.

Especially do rumors spread when war requires control on many important matters. The normal news sources no longer give out enough information. Since the people can not learn through legal channels all that they are anxious to learn, they pick up "news" wherever they can and when this happens, rumor grows.

Rumors are often repeated even by those who do not believe the tales. There is an interest about them. The reason is that the cleverly designed rumor gives expression to something deep in the hearts of the victims -- the fears, doubts, forbidden hopes, or daydreams which they hesitate to voice directly. Pessimistic(悲观的)rumors about defeat and disasters show that the people who repeat them are worried and anxious. Optimistic rumors about record production or peace soon come point to self- satisfaction or confidence--and often to over-confidence.

The author suggests that, in times of confusion, man often_______.

A. stops regular news services B. turns to primitive ways for support

C. distrusts his fellow man D. loses complete control of himself

The underlined word "grapevine" in Paragraph 1 probably means “_______”.

A. rumor B. newspaper C. information D. time

The author, states that during wartime the regular sources of news provide only _______.

A. false information B. optimistic reports

C. limited information D. pessimistic reports

Which of the following statements is mentioned as a reason for people to repeat a rumor?

A. They are too willing to believe.

B. They take an interest in rumor.

C. They have a strong desire to make a fool of other people.

D. They find some rumors reflect their own unexpressed beliefs.

Before the early 1960’s people interested in the differing roles of the left and right hemispheres(半球) of the brain depended almost entirely on facts drawn from animal research, form studies of patients with one-sided brain damage. But it was possible to find out which brain hemisphere was most involved in speech and other functions in normal people by having them listen to two different words coming to the two ears at the same time. This became known as the “dichotic listening” procedure. When several word pairs are given in a row, people are unable to report them all, and most right-handers prefer to report, and report more correctly, words given to their right ears. This seems to be related to the fact that signals from the right ear, although sent to both hemispheres, are better sent to the left hemisphere which controls speech. People who have speech represented(回忆) in the right hemisphere, a very unusual occurrence even in left-handed people, more correctly report what their left ears hear.

In contrast to the right-ear advantage for speech, there is generally a left-ear advantage for another type of auditory(听觉的) signal: music. When right-handed people listen to melodic patterns they report them better from the left ear.

Which of the following would be the most proper title for the passage?

A. An Introduction to Speech Damage in Patients with Brain Damage.

B. An Investigation into the Role of the Brain’s Hemispheres.

C. An Analysis of Left and Right-handed People.

D. An Examination of “Dichotic Listening”.

The “dichotic listening” procedure could best be described as hearing _______.

A. two different words in the same ear twice

B. the same word twice in the same ear

C. two different words in different ears

D. two different words twice in two ears

according to the passage, right-handed people normally _______.

A. have better hearing in their both ears

B. have little difficulty in reporting words given to their right ears

C. are unable to report word pairs given to their left ears

D. correctly report word pairs given in a row

according to the passage, music is best appreciated when heard by _______.

A. the left ear of right-handers

B. people with a left-ear advantage

C. left-handers in their right ears

D. right-handed people who understand melodic patterns
