Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!

Some parapsychologists （心理学家） say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them．To study whether such a "sixth sense" really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist at the University of Kentucky, performed several experiments．

In the first one．Baker sat behind unsuspecting people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes．The subjects 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 suspects, almost all of them said they had no' idea that someone was staring at them．

For the second experiment．Baker told subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two-way minor in a lab 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’s experiment concludes again that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at．If you doubt the outcome of his two experiments, I suggest you repeat the experiments and see for yourselves．

1.The first experiment made by Baker shows that ____．

A．people can’t realize it when they are watched secretly

B．one can't sense other people’s watching when they are talking

C．people have no idea about the sixth sense of human beings

D．the sixth sense doesn’t work during the first 5 or 15 minutes

2.The second experiment differs from the first one in that ____．

A．the subjects were not directly stared at from time to time

B．the subjects had to write something down in a lab sitting

C．the subjects were good at guessing when they were stared at

D．the subjects were informed of the purpose of the experiment

3.What is the author's attitude towards the result of the experiment? ____．

A．Support          B．Doubt            C．Sympathy         D．Surprise

4.We can infer from the passage that ____．

A．it’s most probable that humans have six senses

B．the so-called sixth sense doesn’t exist in human beings

C．the experiments done by Baker hardly explain anything

D．people should make conclusions by themselves

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(心理学家) 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 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 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 and when they weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were started 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.”

1.The purpose of the two experiments is to _______.

A. explain when people can have a sixth sense

B. show how people act while being watched in the lab

C. study whether humans can sense when they are stared at

D. prove why humans have a sixth sense

2.In the first experiment, the subjects _______.

A. were not told that they would be stared at            B. lost their sense when they were stared at

C. were not sure when they would be stared at     D. were uncomfortable when they were stared at

3.The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means ______.

A. value    B. result   C. performance        D. connection

4.What can be learned from the passage?

A. People are born with a sixth sense.

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 public places.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

If you’re ever reading a book or watching a movie and get the distinct feeling you’ve come across the story before — or even better, can predict exactly what's going to happen next — there could be a good reason for that.

Researchers from the Computational Story Laboratory at the University of Vermont studied the complete text of some 1,737 fiction works available on Project Gutenberg, an online collection of more than 50,000 digital books in the public area. They discovered that English literature consists of just six kinds of emotional arcs (情感弧线) that make up nearly all of the most well-known stories. By analysing the sentiment (情感) of language used in these texts, the researchers were able to show the emotional ups and downs for the stories as a whole. They discovered that negative words like “poverty”, “dead”, and “punishment” dragged the emotion down, while positive terms like “love”, “peace”, and “friend” brought it up.

According to the researchers, those six core (核心的) emotional arcs are:

“Rags to riches” (An ongoing emotional rise)

“Tragedy, or riches to rags” (An ongoing emotional fall)

“Man in a hole” (A fall followed by a rise)

“Icarus” (A rise followed by a fall)

“Cinderella” (Rise–fall–rise)

“Oedipus” (Fall–rise–fall)

Interestingly, based on download statistics from Project Gutenberg, the researchers say the most popular stories are ones that use more complex emotional arcs, with the “Cinderella” and “Oedipus” arcs registering the most downloads. Also popular are works that combine these core arcs together in new ways within one story, such as two “Man in a hole” arcs stuck together, or the “Cinderella” arc coupled with a tragic ending.

1.Readers often feel familiar when reading a new story because stories have similar ______.

A. beginnings　　 B. endings

C. characters　　 D. emotional arcs

2.How did researchers carry out their study?

A. By conducting surveys among readers.

B. By reading books borrowed from libraries.

C. By analysing works from an online collection.

D. By interviewing authors of the well-known stories.

3.Which set of works may drag emotion down?

A. Hope, fortune and riches.

B. Disease, murder and war.

C. Smile, health and beauty.

D. Cold, earthquake and spring.

4.According to the last paragraph, which kind of works are most popular among readers?

A. Works with an ongoing emotional rise.

B. Works with an ongoing emotional fall.

C. Works with a rise followed by a fall.

D. Works with more than one rise and fall.
