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 (靈學(xué)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 (心理學(xué)家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.
In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared(盯著)at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects(受試者)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 weren’t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t.
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.”
【小題1】The aim of the two experiments is to ________.

A.explain when people can have a sixth sense
B.study 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
【小題2】The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.
A.valueB.resultC.performanceD.connection
【小題3】In the second experiment, the subjects _________.
A.could tell when they were stared at
B.could tell where they weren’t stared at
C.couldn’t tell who they were stared at or who they stared at
D.couldn’t tell when they were stared at or when they weren’t
【小題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 all places.


【小題1】C
【小題2】B
【小題3】D
【小題4】C

解析試題分析:這篇短文主要介紹了兩個(gè)測試第六感的實(shí)驗(yàn),通過實(shí)驗(yàn)告訴我們第六感并不存在。
【小題1】根據(jù)短文第二段描述,可知這兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)主要是為了驗(yàn)證第六感的存在,故選C。
【小題2】根據(jù)下文of his two experiments,及上文描述,可知此處指的是實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果,故選B,結(jié)果。
【小題3】根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren’t. 描述,可知選D。
【小題4】根據(jù)短文描述,可知在兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)中的受試者沒有第六感。故選C。
考點(diǎn):關(guān)于第六感的科普性說明文閱讀
點(diǎn)評:本文難度較大,個(gè)別小題需要根據(jù)相關(guān)內(nèi)容進(jìn)行推理總結(jié)。首先要認(rèn)真閱讀短文,注意前后聯(lián)系,掌握短文大意,然后帶著問題再讀短文,找出相關(guān)段落,分析總結(jié),判斷出正確選項(xiàng)。文章所設(shè)試題主要考察細(xì)節(jié)查找,做題關(guān)鍵是找出原文的根據(jù),認(rèn)真核查小題和原文的異同。
