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, did two experiments.in the first one, baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared(盯着）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 were being stared at and when they werent. baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they werent.baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when theyre 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 aim of the two experiments is to _.aexplain when people can have a sixth sensebstudy how people act while being watched in the labcstudy whether humans can sense when they are stared atdprove why humans have a sixth sense2. the underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means _.avalue

subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.dpeople have a sixth sense in all places.【答案】1. c2. b3.d4.c4.c 细节推断题。根据最后一段的实验结果可知：第六感并不存在。考点：考查科学类短文阅读 bmr. baker lived in an old and low house.

“nouveau riche”. there have been more than 100 million references to the word “tuhao” on social media since early september. its being used to describe everything from the new peoples daily building, to expensive celebrity weddings full of millionaires, and the new gold-colored iphone. in chinese “tu” means earth and “hao” means rich. to say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background, and have made it rich quicklybut dont quite have the manners to go along with it. “its like the term nouveau riche”, says professor steve tsang at the school of contemporary chinese studies in nottingham, “but has even more negative meanings, suggesting a certain vulgarity(粗俗).” “tuhao” is actually an old word, dating back perhaps as far as the southern dynasty1,500 years ago, but it has always meant something rather different. during the communist revolution, from the 1920s to early 1950s, it was widely used to refer to landholders and gentry(乡绅)who would often do bad things to those beneath them. this new usage of the term took off in september after a widely-shared joke about a rich, but unhappy man, who goes to a buddhist monk for advice, expecting to be told to live a more simple life. the monk replies instead with a sentence, “tuhao, lets be friends!” chinese internet users are highly creative in their use of language, and are constantly inventing, and re-inventing words as a way of getting past censorship(审查) rules. but in this case, its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it expresses chinas changing society so wellmany people sneer at those with wealth, but are secretly jealous.9. what is the best title of the passage? a. tuhao, a newly popular word in china b. the long history of tuhao c. the new usage of tuhao d. tuhao, a newly-invented chinese word10. which of the following may not be considered “tuhao”? a. a vulgar nouveau riche. b. a landholder. c. a quick-rich peasant without proper manners. d. a buddhist monk.11. the last but one paragraph mainly tells us _. a. what the new usage of the word is b. how the word becomes popular again c. why the unhappy man went to the buddhist monk d. what advice the monk gave the unhappy man12. what does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean? a. respect. b. envy. c. laugh. d. disbelieve.【答案】9. a10.d11.b12.c12.c 词义猜测题。由原文even more negative meanings, suggesting a certain vulgarity(粗俗).可知土豪是个贬义词，是用来讥讽的。故选c考点：考查说明类阅读d eventslong march exhibit the shanghai history museum is putting on an exhibition to mark the 60th anniversary of the long march. on show are more
