and if so, whose art? yet found photographs produced by artists, such richard prince, may riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? or how did prince create this photograph? its anyones guess. in addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. why is memory so important to us? why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? will they mean anything to anyone after weve gone?64. the first paragraph of the passage is used to _. a. remind readers of found photographs b. advise reader to start a new kind of business c. ask readers to find photographs behind sofa d. show readers the value of found photographs 65. according to the passage, joachim schmid _. a. is fond of collecting family life photographs b. found a complaining not under his car wiper c. is working for several self-published magazines d. wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs66. the underlined word “them” in para 4 refers to _. a. the readers b. the editors c. the found photographs d. the self-published magazines 67. by asking a series of questions in para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that _. a. memory of the past is very important to people b. found photographs allow people to think freely c. the back-story of found photographs is puzzling d. the real value of found photographs is questionable 68. the authors attitude towards found photographs can be described as _. a. critical b. doubtful c. optimistic d. satisfied 1答案 64.d 65.a 66.d 67.b 68.c*结束for years, there has been a bias（偏见）against science among clinical psychologists. in a two-year analysis to be published in november in perspectives on psychological science, psychologists led by timothy b. baker of the university of wisconsin charge that many clinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to their personal experiences than to science.” as a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by science.” walter mischel of columbia university is even crueler in his judgment. “the disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”the “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatmentsthe tools of psychologybring more lasting benefits than drugs.you wouldnt know this if you sought help from a typical clinical psychologist. although many treatments are effective, relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.why in the world not? for one thing, says baker, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists remember these successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”when faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. a 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. if they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”16. many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because _.a. they are unfamiliar with their patientsb. they believe in science and evidencec. they depend on their colleagues helpd. they rely on their personal experiences17.the widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _.a. the cruel judgment by walter mischelb. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedc. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchd. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments18.how do clinical psychologists respond when charged that their treatments are not supported by science?a. they feel embarrassed. b. they try to defend themselves.c. they are disappointed.d. they doubt their treatments.19.in mischels opinion, psychology will _.a. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is madeb. develop faster with the support of insurance companiesc. work together with insurance companies to provide better treatmentd. become more reliable if insurance companies wont demand evidence-based medicine20.what is the purpose of this passage?a. to show the writers disapproval of clinical psychologists.b. to inform the readers of the risks of psychological treatments.c. to explain the effectiveness of treatments by clinical psychologists.d. to introduce the latest progress of medical treatment in clinical psychology. 参考答案 dcbaa *结束 a woman whose sports car was stolen with her dog in it put up notices all over the area that made it clear getting back her pet was more important than her car.“whoever did this can keep my car. please let benjerman come home,” the notice said.it is not known whether the thief showed any pity, but almost 30 hours after the 1 pm theft friday, kimberly atkins of dover and benjerman, a 12-year-old black retriever(猎犬), were reunited after police located them in barrington.“hes hungry, hes dirty, but hes very happy to be home,” atkins said.the car was found at about 5 pm saturday off route 125 in a swampy area frequented by off-the-road cars and dirt bikes. however, the police couldnt control benjerman, and they had to call atkins to come and get him.atkins said the thief cared for benjerman a little by providing him with some dry cat food. she believed benjerman ended up drinking some muddy water in the area.she said they have been together for nearly 11 years after she took him back from a society shelter in dallas, texas.before benjerman was found, atkins and several friends put up notices all over the city and in somersworth. they also contacted animal shelters throughout southern new hampshire and massachusetts.the notice stated there was a reward, and also that the dog needed medication. any caller could remain anonymous(匿名的).atkins had parked the car outside a hardware store with the keys inside and gone in to rent a carpet clean
