二、阅读理解题(共 5 题，题分合计 5 分)
1.What exactly is a lie . ? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue . ? Or is it something
more than that. ? For example , suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you ,
You say "I wish I could help you but I'm short of money myself " In fact , you are not short of
money but you friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don't want to hurt his feelings
by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie ?
Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of
lying. According to him ,women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a "white lie" ,
such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she rally
thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men
are morn likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have on intention
of fulfilling .This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly
skilled at the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.
Research has also been done into the way people's behaviour changes in a number of small,
apparently unimport6ant ways when they lie .It has been found that if they are sitting down at the
time ,they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual ,To the trained observer they are
saying "I wish I were some where else now" They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more
often, in particular the nose, One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in
blood pressure .The up of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure
makes it itch.
Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book
Manwatching calls "the mouth cover " He says there are several typical forms of this ,such as
covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand
at one side of the mouth .Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious attempt on the part
of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying.
Of course ,such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair
cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying ,They simply tend to occur more frequently in
this situation ,It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar way but a whole number of things ,and
in particular the context in which the lie is told.
1. According to the passage, a "white lie" seems to be a lie
A that other people believe B that other people don't' believe
C told in order to avoid offending someone
D told in order to take advantage of someone
2 Research suggests that women
A are better at telling less serious lies the man are
第 3 页，共 11 页
B generally lie far more than men do
C lie at parties more often than men do
D often make promises they intend to break
3 Researchers find that when a person tells lies,
A his blood pressure increases measurably
B he looks very serious
C he tends to make some small changes in his behaviour
D he uses his unconscious mind
4Which of the following may best betray a liar?
A the touching of the tip of one's nose
B the changes of one's behaviour
C "the mouth cover " gesture
D the circumstances in which his lie is told
2.By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. The adder is also the only British snake
with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough
open country, including high ground.
Most people in Britain regard snake bites as an event which will lead to death, but not all bites are
serious, and very few are fatal(致命的 ). Sometimes attempts at emergency (紧急) treatment turn
out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with someone unskilled, by mistakenly, trying doit-yourself treatment and other unnecessary measures,
All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, not only the bite of adder
presents danger. British snakes are shy animals and far more frightened of you than you could
possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels itself in danger, as can happen if you
take it by surprised step on it accidentally, or if you catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes. If it
hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move
rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.
1 If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder, you should
A。try to catch the adder
B。operate immediately
C。not worry about the injured
D。make no attempt to treat the bite yourself
2. We are told that adders are _________
A。normally friendly towards people
B。unlikely to bite except in self - defense
C。not afraid of people
D。possible to attack anyone in their country
3 If an adder hears you coming near, it will usually
A。move out of your path
B。take no notice of you at all
C。pretend to be dead
D。wait until you are close and then attack
4. We can learn from the passage that in general British people think snakes are
第 4 页，共 11 页
A。not very common in Britain
B。harmless animals
C。unlucky
D。more dangerous than they usually are
3.There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art .
Washington , D.C. has the National Gallery of Art （美术馆）; Paris has the Luvre ; London , the
British Museum . Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to
see . And it does so without a building , or even a wall for its drawings and paintings .
FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States . You don't have
to visit the University to see the art . You just need a computer linked to a telephone .
You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it .
All of the art is stored in the school computer . It is computer art , produced electronically by
artists on their own computers . In only a few minutes , your computer can receive and copy all
the pictures and drawings .
Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum . He says he starts the museum because
computer artists had no place to show their works .
A computer artist can only record his pictures electronically and send the records , or floppy discs ,
to others to see on their computers . He can also put his pictures on paper . But to print good
pictures on paper , the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer .
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and
universities . Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students .Mr Shostak said the
FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see
it . He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience . And the great number of
home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum .
1．The main purpose of this text is to give information about
.
A．museums throughout the world
B．an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.A.
C．art exhibitions in Florida International University
D．latest development of computer art

B．a computer and a printer
C．pictures and drawings on paper
D．a computer connected to the museum by telephone line
3．
are stored in this museum .
A.Paintings drawn by means of computer
B.Different styles of paintings
C．Old paintings
D．Drawings done by art students of FIU
4．The museum was started when
.
A．Robert Shostak wanted to do something for computer scientists
B．Robert Shostak wanted to help computer artists

C．art students needed a place to show their works
D．computer scientists wanted to do something about art
4.In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make
their workers more productive . Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But
do more various jobs lead to greater productivity ?There is evidence to suggest that while variety
certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable ,it does not actually make him work harder . As
far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor.
Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important ,and
there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given
in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a fixed way .Thus
while freedom of choice may be important ,there is usually very little that can be done to create
it .
Another very important consideration is how each worker contributes to the product he is
making .In most factories the worker sees only one part of the product .Some car factories are
now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one ,so that
each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line .It would seem that not only
is degree of the worker contribution an important factor, therefore ,but it is also one we can do
something about .
To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity ?The workers themselves certainly
think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is
boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain
demands for shorter working hours . Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more
interesting ,they will neither want more money ,nor will shorter working hours be so important to
them.
1．Which of the following is the best way to make workers work harder according to the author?
A．Increasing their pay.
B．Giving them more spare time.
C．Making the work itself meaningful.
D．Replacing large production lines with small ones .
2．The reason why a worker cannot have freedom in doing the job in his own way is that .
A．the machinery is so complex that it should be fixed
B．the production lines are too large in modern factories
C．the bosses can create very little freedom of choices for workers
D．the machines must be operated strictly according to instructions and rules
3．For a worker on an assembly line in a car factory ,the job is not enjoyable because .
A．he can only make a part of a car
B．he does not know what he is doing
C．his life in spare time is more interesting
D．the importance of his job is not clear to him
4．In the article ,the word "productivity" means .
A．the activity of producing something
B．the production volume in a time unit
第 6 页，共 11 页
C．the plan and the method of production
D．both the quantity and quality of a product
5．The best title for this passage may be .
A．Problems of Modern Workers
B．Making Jobs More Interesting
C．Pushing Workers to Produce More
D．How to Improve Labor Productivity
5.What is intelligence, anyway? When I was in the army I received an I.Q.(intelligence) test that
all soldiers took, and I scored 160 against an average of 100.
All my life I've been making scores like that, so that I have the feeling that I'm highly intelligent,
and I expect other people to think so, too.Yet, such scores mean actually that I am very good at
answering the type of academic questions devised by the people who make up the I.Q.tests-a
professor like myself.
Once I had an auto-repair man.I always took it for granted that I was far more intelligent than he
was.I thought he could not have scored more than 80 on such I.Q.tests.Yet, when anything went
wrong with my car I hastened to him, and he always fixed my car.Well, then, suppose my
auto-repair man devised questions for an I.Q.test.Or suppose a carpenter did, or a farmer, or
almost anyone but an academician.By every one of those tests, I'd prove myself an idiot.In a
world where I could not use my academic training and my verbal talents but had to do something
working with my hands, I would do poorly.
My auto-repair man had a habit of telling me jokes. One time he asked me， "Doc, a
deaf-and-dumb guy went into a hardware store to ask for some nails. He put two fingers together
on the counter and made hammering motions with the other hand. The clerk brought him a
hammer. He shook his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk brought
him nails. He picked out the sizes he wanted, and left. Well, doc, the next guy who came in was a
blind man. He wanted scissors. How do you suppose he asked for them?"
Naturally, I lifted my right hand and made scissoring motions with my first two fingers.
Whereupon my auto-repair man laughed loudly and said, "Why, you dumb fool, he used his voice
and asked for them." Then he said, "I've been trying that on all my customers today." "Did you
catch many? "I asked. "Quite a few," he said, "but I knew for sure I'd catch you." "Why is that?
"I asked.
"Because you're so goddamned educated, doc, I knew you couldn't be very smart."And I have an
uneasy feeling he had something there.
1The speaker scored 160 on an I.Q. test simply because he was________.
A. considered highly intelligent
B .much smarter than others
C. trained for answering such questions
D. educated to be a medical doctor
2.After joking with the speaker, the auto-repair man remarked that________.
A. he was unwilling to tease his customers
B. education always makes one smarter
第 7 页，共 11 页
C. he was very ashamed of playing a practical joke
D. a highly educated person might lose common sense
3.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. One can be fooled once but not all the time.
B. Success is 1% intelligence and 99% diligence.
C. Intelligence cannot always be measured by an I.Q. test.
D. An I.Q. test should include questions on auto repair.
