well，we say we “ know it like the back of our hand ”. but new research has shown that we dont actually know as much about our hands as we think we do.wider and shorterprofessor matthew longo at the university of london and his team did an experiment, covering the left hands of 100 people. then they asked the people to point to where they thought their fingertips and knuckles (指关节）were. they made some quite big mistakes.“people think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said longo. the fingers also seem shorter than they are. this mistake gets worse as you go across the hand from the thumb to the little finger. sense of positionit is connected to our sense of position,” explained longo. this is our ability to tell where different parts of our bodies are, even when we cant see them. “it tells us whether a joint is straight .or not he said. it also tells us whether we are going up or down in an elevator. all this information comes from signs from nerves in real time. its like our brain has maps - maps that show the size and shape of our body. “this experiment tried to find those maps,” said longo.strength of feelingbut these maps make mistakes. these mistakes may be made because of how the brain understands different parts of the skin. “our brains see” areas as larger where the skin feels touch strongly,” said longo. body parts dont appear as their true size, but appear bigger or smaller depending on how strongly they feel touch. our lips, for example, have more nerves than our nose. so brain “sees” lips on its map of the body as being bigger than our nose. the same thing happens forother parts of the body that have lots of nerves.longo believes that more research in this area may help us to understand eating problem better, because people suffering from these problems may not know their bodies properly.24, which of following statement is true about the experiment according to the article?a. people think their body parts are larger than they actually are.b .peoples fingers are actually shorter than they think.c. people were asked to draw their hands from memoryd. people made more mistakes about their little fingers length than their thumbs length.25. what does the underlined “it” in paragraph 4 refer to?a. the new experiment.b. the mistake people made.c. the sizes of fingers and hands.d. the location information.26. we can conclude from the article that_.a. the maps of peoples bodies form before they are bornb. the maps of our body are based on information from nervesc. our sense of position depends on the interaction between parts of the bodyd. how we feel about our body shape is only decided by our sense of position27. we can infer from the article that-.a. there are more nerves in the finger than in the handb. our lips have a weaker sense of touch than our nosec. the hand feels touch more strongly than fingers dod. our sense of position should not be trusted because it is too often incorrectche is a time lord who can travel anywhere he wants in time, but still never seems to be happy. he is always very well dressed. he refuses to use guns to kill anybody, preferring to trust his brains.who could be a better hero for british people? he is the doctor, hero of the popular bbc tv series doctor who, which celebrated the 10th anniversary of its 2005 reboot on march 26.in 2005 the sci-fi tv series returned to british screens after originally running from 1963 until 1989. in the series, the doctor travels through time in his tardis police box，saving earth and other planets from dangerous aliens and humans.the show looked a little different upon its 2005 return 一 the show used to be famous for cheap, ugly special effects but they were gone, replaced by expensive computer effects and attractive young stars. christopher eccleston played the ninth doctor in 2005, and there have been four more since, including the current twelfth doctor, peter capaldi.you may wonder why the doctor has been played by so many people, thirteen in total. this is because every few years, the doctor “regenerates”，which means his character dies” but comes back to life with a completely new body afterwards. as the radio times put it：“who else can cheat death by getting a whole new face?” the show has no limits. the doctor has already visited the time of shakespeare, found out the truth about the american moon landing of 1969 and gone back to the very early days of earth. he has also traveled forward in time and been to many strange planets. who knows where hell go in the next 10 years? or if the doctor will even be a man? last year, head writer steven moffat told bang showbiz ii is very possible that a woman will play the doctor in the futureare you ready for more travels with him or her through time?28. what is the article mainly about?a. the actors who have played the hero in doctor who.b. a brief introduction to the bbc tv series doctor who.c. what inspired the producers to make doctor who.d.what influence doctor who has had on other sci-fi tv shows.29. which of the following statements is true about the doctor in doctor who?a. although he is always well dressed, he is very cruel inside.b. he has gone through 10 “regenerations” in the past decade.c .he is belter at solving problems with his guns than with his brains.d .his mission is to protect earth and other planets from attack.30.what can we learn about doctor who from the article?a. in 2005, bbc producers started a new doctor who series after a 42-year break.b. the show looked more fashionable and attractive upon its 2005 return.c. the producers use creative but cheap special effects in the new doctor who series.d .doctor who is quite popular in britain because it was the first british sci-fi show.31.we can conclude from the second-to-last paragraph that the doctor who series_.a .is very imaginative b. seems hard to understandc .involves scientific discoveriesd .is an accurate reflection of human historydwhen the new republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016 nobel prize in literature on oct 6, it said：“not bob dylan. thats for sure.”but the award came as a surprise to many. on oct 13, the famous us musician was named the nobel laureate by the swedish academy. he has “created new poetic expressions within the great american song tradition, according to the organization.although dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary writer, he has given the world a lot of creative work over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk songs.in his 1985 album biograph, dylan wrote about the appeal of folk music to him. rock songs “werent serious enough or didnt reflect life in a realistic way, according to dylan. but folk, was “a more serious type of thing. the songs are filled with more sadness; more joy much deeper feelings.dylans music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. his lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the civil rights movement. the 1960s were a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. the idea is mast famously expressed in dylans the times they are a -changin (1964), which warns the world, “you better start swimming or youll sink like a stone. for the times they are a-changin！”there were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer. but ancient “greek poets homer and sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments - and it s the same way with dylan ,the swedish academys permanent secretary sara danius told cnn.it could even be said that giving the important prize to dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. the millions whose lives dylans words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.32. dylan found folk music attractive because_a.it brought joy to peopleb.it could be used to express feelings freelyc.it reflected life on a much deeper leveld.it needed more creativity than other types of music33. which of the following statements is true about dylan according to the article?a. he never thought that he would win the nobel prize.b. most of his influential works were created in the 1960s.c .his songs expressed peoples feelings well during the 1960s.d. his fans were mostly young people who were active in political movements. 34. according to the last two paragraphs, _.a .lyrics can be seen as a literary formb. a literary prize should not be given to a singerc. dylans works were inspired by greek poetsd .dylan deserves the award because he influenced many songwriters35. whats the authors attitude toward giving bob dylan the 2016 nobel prize in literature?a. supportive b. objective c. sceptical d.
