Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
47、根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答47-56題 Getting Air Traffic under Control A) The shortest distance between two points is a straight line---unless you happen．to be traveling in an airplane．Commercial airliners around the world follow circuitous flight paths, waste time in holding patterns before landing and burn precious fuel taxiing (滑行．．Part of the blame can be placed on crowded airports and airspace, especially in heavily trafficked (交通繁忙的) areas like New York City．But delays and inefficiencies in air travel are due in large part to an outdated traffic-control system that still relies on slow, ground-based radar stations and repetitive voice communication． B) "At this' point, we're still operating with technology that dates back to World War II," says Marion Blakey, president of the Aerospace Industries Association and a former head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ．"We’re sticking with cassette tapes when we should be moving to DVDs．" C) It's bad enough that this air-traffic-control system has led to pitiful performance: nearly 25% of U．S．flights were late in 2008．But inefficiencies in the air and on the ground caused by the system also mean fuel wasted and carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted at the very time when the air-travel industry is coming under scrutiny (審查) for its role in climate change． D) Though airlines contribute only about 2% of global carbon emissions, that figure is set to rise as air travel expands, especially in the developing world And for frequent travelers, flights can enlarge their personal carbon footprint (碳足跡)一a round-trip journey between New York City and London emits 1．5 metric tons of CO2 per passenger．"We're 2%, but we are a very visible 2%," says Paul Steele, who directs environmental initiatives for the International Air Transport Association (IATA) ． E) As the world prepares for the next U．N．Climate Change Conference, known as COP15, in Copenhagen in December, the air-travel industry will be under increasing pressure to cut its emissions---or pay a carbon tax．Though next-generation jet biofuels (生物燃料) made from algae (海藻) or coconuts tend to get all the green hype (大肆宣傳) , the best immediate opportunity for the industry to control carbon emissions will be through improving fuel efficiency--and the best way to do that is to pull the airtraffic-control system into the digital 21 st century through what the FAA has named NextGen．"The overall goal of NextGen is to increase capacity to meet demand while at the same time not growing carbon emissions," says Vicki Cox, the FAA's senior vice president for NextGen． F) NextGen is the FAA's long-term plan to replace the current radar-based air-traffic-control system with one that operates using satellites and a global positioning system．(Europe is working on a similar upgrade with its Single European Sky initiative．． Instead of a radar system that updates the positions of planes every 12 seconds or so, NextGen will use satellite data to locate planes in real time, thanks to the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B 廣播式自動(dòng)相關(guān)監(jiān)視) system．Instead of relying on time-consuming voice communication with a control tower, pilots will instantly know the location, speed and direction of the planes around them．It's not unlike the GPS system you might use in your car--if your GPS could tell you what every other vehicle on the road was doing all the time． G) "The new system gives pilots a heightened awareness of the airspace around them and helps controllers efficiently direct the tens of thousands of flights that crisscross (往返奔波) the country daily," says Steve Loranger, chief executive of ITT Corporation, which is developing the ADS-B system for the FAA) H) A satellite-based system like NextGen will allow for tighter, more direct flight paths--more A to B instead of A to C to B. Every minute cut from a flight plan means less fuel and less carbon emissions．And with jet fuel costing about $1．75 per gallon (46 cents per liter．, that could save the airlines millions． I) Much of those savings will come during approach (進(jìn)場(chǎng)) and landing．Because the current system is less precise, controllers need to give planes plenty of room as they lock onto the runway, descending in a slow, stepped approach．NextGen will allow planes to make what is called a continuous-descent approach (CDA) , essentially letting them turn off their engines, saving tons of fuel and reducing pollutants． J) At the airport in Louisville, Kentucky, where UPS has been experimenting with a satellite-based control system, the shipper has been able to use CDA for landings and maximize the number of planes in the air at any given time．UPS estimates that the system has helped save 250 to 465 pounds (110 to 210 kg) of fuel per flight．"Making engines more efficient isn't easy or cheap," says Bob Smith, chief technology officer of Honeywell Aerospace, whose SmartPath precision-landing system will be part of NextGen．"But improving air-traffic management can be done just by optimizing the technology we already have．" K) The FAA says that by 2018, as NextGen spreads around the U．S．, the new system will reduce flight delays 35% to 40% and save almost a billion gallons of fuel．There should be safety benefits as well: in an ADS-B trial in Alaska, the accident rate for planes fell 47%．But the shift won't be cheap: the FAA estimates that NextGen will cost from $15 billion to $22 billion, with a comparable cost for airlines as they furnish their planes with new equipment． L) And not every airline expert is convinced that NextGen will live up to the FAA's promises, especially given the agency's management history．Even with a more efficient control system, the most heavily trafficked corridors may remain crowded because of sheer lack of runway space．"The satellite-based system is great, but it should have been put in place much earlier," says Mike Boyd, an airline-industry consultant based in Colorado．"I guarantee you, NextGen will not fix the delay problem．" M) Even if NextGen delivers impressive efficiency gains, the airline industry faces a long-term climate challenge．With global airline-passenger numbers expected to continuously rise in the future, efficiency improvements may barely compensate for overall growth．If the airline industry is really going to reduce carbon emissions--in September the IATA promised to cut emissions 50% from 2005 levels by 2050--it will need to scale up low-carbon biofuels．But aviation (航空工業(yè)) is well behind the automotive sector when it comes to feasible alternative fuels, and some environmentalists argue that the only sustainable solution is simply to fly less．"Efficiency isn't enough," says Richard Dyer, aviation campaigner for Friends of the Earth．"To go on raising emissions isn't acceptable．" N) Still, while high-speed trains can reduce the need for some short-distance flights, it's difficult to imagine the aviation sector shrinking．Expect airlines to be big purchasers of greenhouse-gas offsets if the upper limit to a global carbon is mandated in Copenhagen, while research continues on alternative fuels． O) However, modernizing an out-of-date air-traffic-control system makes sense even if the globe never warms another degree．"Ultimately, this is about a better travel experience over the long term," says John Kefaliotis, ITT's program manager for ADS-B. "We've all got better things to do than waste time--and everything else--in the air．" Express trains for short trips are unlikely to stop the air travel industry from developing in the future．
48、NextGen allows a plane to fly directly to its destination without a stop at a third place．
49、NextGen is something like the automotive GPS, but it can give pilots more information about what is going on around.
50、Some airline experts are doubtful about whether NextGen can really help solve the delay problem in air travel．
51、The current radar-based air-traffic-control system plays a significant role in delays and low efficiencies in air travel．
52、High efficiency achieved by NextGen is not considered a final solution to carbon emissions in the air travel industry．
53、Compared to the radar-based air-traffic-control system, NextGen enables a plane to descend in a different manner when landing．
54、In addition to the reduction in delays and fuel consumption, improved safety is another advantage of NextGen．
55、To update the air-traffic-control system is eventually meaningful in terms of a better travel experience．
56、At present, the most effective way for the airline industry to reduce carbon emissions is to adopt NextGen rather than biofuels． Section C Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D ).

57、 QuesUons57-66are based on the following paassage Trying to quantify your aerobic fitness (有氧適能)is difficult since it usually requires access to an exercise-physiology lab.But researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology have developed a low-tech means of precisely assessing aerobic fitness and estimating your "fitness age", or how well your body functions physically, relative to how well it should work, given your age． The researchers evaluated almost 5,000 Norwegians between the ages of 20 and 90, using mobile labs．They took about a dozen measurements, including height, body mass index, resting heart rate, HDL (高密度脂蛋白)and total cholesterol (膽固醇)levels． Each person also filled out a lifestyle questionnaire．Finally, each volunteer ran to the point of exhaustion on a treadmill (跑步機(jī))to measure his or her peak oxygen intake (VO2 max) 一an indicator of fitness age, sine VO2 max is found to closely correlate with significantly increased life spans, even among the elderly or overweight． In order to figure out how to estimate VO2 max without a treadmill, the scientists examined the results to determine which of the data points were most useful． Surprisingly, they found that putting just five measurements--waist circumference (腰圍); resting heart rate; frequency and intensity of exercise; age; and sex-r-into an formula allowed them to predict a person's VO2 max with great accuracy, according to their study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise． The researchers used the data set to make a table of the typical, desirable VO2 max for a healthy person at every age from 20 to 90, creating specific parameters (參數(shù))for fitness age． The concept is simple enough, explains Ulrik Wisloff, a professor at the Norwegian University and the senior author of the study．"A 70-year-old person who has the peak oxygen intake of a 20-year-old has a fitness age of 20," he says．He has seen just this combination during his research． The researchers have used all of this data to create an online calculator that allows people to determine their VO2 max without going to a lab. Just plug the numbers of the five measurements into the calculator, and you'll learn your fitness age． To determine your resting heart rate, sit quietly for 10 minutes and check your pulse; count for 30 seconds, double the number and you have your resting heart rate． The results can be alarming． A 50-year-old man, for instance, may have a fitness age of 59． Thankfully, unwanted fitness years can be erased. Exercise more frequently or more intensely． Then replug your numbers and your "age" will decline． A youthful fitness age, Dr． Wisloff says, "is the single best predictor of current and future health．" What can we infer about aerobic fitness? A．It's impossible to measure for the need of special labs． B．It's difficult to measure precisely． C．It can be quantified by your fitness age． D．It shows how well your body should function．
58、How did the researchers obtain the volunteers' fitness age? A．By asking each volunteer to take about a dozen measurements． B．By checking the lifestyle questionnaires filled by volunteers． C．By plugging five measurements into an online calculator． D．By measuring each volunteer's VO2 max with a treadmill．
59、Which of the following is one of the achievements made by the researchers? A．They worked out a reference table for fitness age． B．They specified how to determine your resting heart rate． C．They identified VO2 max as an indicator of fitness age． D．They indicated that the elderly can have increased life spans．
60、What do we learn about the five measurements that can be used to predict a person's fitness age? A．In the study they were among the previous dozen measurements． B．You can get the five measurements all by yourself． C．Exercise is more important than the other four measurements． D．The researchers had expected less than five measurements．
61、What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Fitness age tends to be larger than your actual age． B．Fitness age may vary based on the amount of exercise． C．You should run the calculator twice to get the accurate fitness age． D．Fitness age can determine your future health．
62、Questions62-71are based on the following passage. Most of us are bad at spotting a lie, at least consciously．New research, published recently in Psychological Science, suggests that we have good instincts for judging liars, but that they are so deeply buried that we can't get at them． This finding is the work of Leanne Ten Brinke, now at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley．"Perhaps our own bodies know better than our conscious minds who is lying," she explained. It's well accepted that most of us are no better than a flip (輕拋．of the coin at seeing a lie．A classic experiment involves showing study subjects videotape of people, some of whom are lying, who say they did not steal $100; the subjects correctly guess the liars about half the time． Dr．Ten Brinke and her collaborators improved that experiment: After the subjects watched the video and made their conscious assessments of who was lying, the researchers tried to measure the subjects' unconscious reactions． The researchers flashed images of someone already seen in the videotape--but this time in milliseconds, indiscernible consciously．The subjects then completed a word task that involved placing "truth" words (like truthful, honest, valid) and "lie" words (dishonest, invalid, deceitful．into their proper categories． When study subjects were flashed a picture of a liar, they were significantly slower to put words like truthful or honest into the "truth" category, but faster to put words like deceitful into the "lie" category．The opposite was true when the subjects saw a truthful person．So, in general, the same people seemed better at detecting lies unconsciously than consciously．By scientific measures, the size of the effect was obviously nontrivial (重大的) , but not overwhelming． There are many theories about why the ability to pick out liars gets lost in translation to consciousness．Dr．Ten Brinke speculated that we tell one another little lies all the time---for survival, reproductive (繁衍) strategy, and so on--and that part of getting along socially is being able to let those harmless lies escape notice． Is it possible to access the unconscious ability? "It's the million-dollar question," she said. The study fits into a rich history of lie, detection research, with some researchers saying they can read lies in facial expressions, and others arguing that liars just don't give off enough clear signals to allow detection． "The cues are so faint," said Dr．Bella DePaulo, a visiting professor of psychology at Uniyersity of California, Santa Barbara and an expert in the science of lie detection．She said that there was some evidence that supported the idea of unconscious or indirect lie detecting, but she doubted that it would ever become a truly effective system． What can we learn about our conscious ability to judge liars? A．It is much better than a flip of the coin． B．It is based on the facial expressions of liars． C．It is better than our bodies' instinctive reactions． D．It is unreliable and almost comparable to luck．
63、According to Dr．Ten Brinke's study, what were the subjects faster to do when they saw a truthful person? A．To put the word deceitful into the "lie" category． B．To put the word honest into the "lie" category． C．To put the word honest into the "truth" category． D．To put the word deceitful into the "truth" category．
64、What is one possible reason for our loss of the unconscious ability to detect lies? A．We ourselves are liars in order to adapt to the society． B．There are not enough clear signals for lie detection． C．It is a strategy we adopt to find harmful lies． D．The unconscious ability is buried too deeply to access．
65、What does "the million-dollar question" (Line 1, Para. 8) most suitably refer to? A．It is a question that is worth a million dollars． B．It is a difficult question that no one can give a final answer to． C．To answer the question will cost a huge amount of money． D．There is too much research that is related to this question．
66、What's Dr．Bella DePaulo's attitude toward unconscious lie detecting? A．Supportive． B．Critical． C．Unconcerned D．Skeptical． Part II Reading Comprehension Part VI Translation （30 minutes） Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
47、根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答47-56題 Getting Air Traffic under Control A) The shortest distance between two points is a straight line---unless you happen．to be traveling in an airplane．Commercial airliners around the world follow circuitous flight paths, waste time in holding patterns before landing and burn precious fuel taxiing (滑行．．Part of the blame can be placed on crowded airports and airspace, especially in heavily trafficked (交通繁忙的) areas like New York City．But delays and inefficiencies in air travel are due in large part to an outdated traffic-control system that still relies on slow, ground-based radar stations and repetitive voice communication． B) "At this' point, we're still operating with technology that dates back to World War II," says Marion Blakey, president of the Aerospace Industries Association and a former head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ．"We’re sticking with cassette tapes when we should be moving to DVDs．" C) It's bad enough that this air-traffic-control system has led to pitiful performance: nearly 25% of U．S．flights were late in 2008．But inefficiencies in the air and on the ground caused by the system also mean fuel wasted and carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted at the very time when the air-travel industry is coming under scrutiny (審查) for its role in climate change． D) Though airlines contribute only about 2% of global carbon emissions, that figure is set to rise as air travel expands, especially in the developing world And for frequent travelers, flights can enlarge their personal carbon footprint (碳足跡)一a round-trip journey between New York City and London emits 1．5 metric tons of CO2 per passenger．"We're 2%, but we are a very visible 2%," says Paul Steele, who directs environmental initiatives for the International Air Transport Association (IATA) ． E) As the world prepares for the next U．N．Climate Change Conference, known as COP15, in Copenhagen in December, the air-travel industry will be under increasing pressure to cut its emissions---or pay a carbon tax．Though next-generation jet biofuels (生物燃料) made from algae (海藻) or coconuts tend to get all the green hype (大肆宣傳) , the best immediate opportunity for the industry to control carbon emissions will be through improving fuel efficiency--and the best way to do that is to pull the airtraffic-control system into the digital 21 st century through what the FAA has named NextGen．"The overall goal of NextGen is to increase capacity to meet demand while at the same time not growing carbon emissions," says Vicki Cox, the FAA's senior vice president for NextGen． F) NextGen is the FAA's long-term plan to replace the current radar-based air-traffic-control system with one that operates using satellites and a global positioning system．(Europe is working on a similar upgrade with its Single European Sky initiative．． Instead of a radar system that updates the positions of planes every 12 seconds or so, NextGen will use satellite data to locate planes in real time, thanks to the Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B 廣播式自動(dòng)相關(guān)監(jiān)視) system．Instead of relying on time-consuming voice communication with a control tower, pilots will instantly know the location, speed and direction of the planes around them．It's not unlike the GPS system you might use in your car--if your GPS could tell you what every other vehicle on the road was doing all the time． G) "The new system gives pilots a heightened awareness of the airspace around them and helps controllers efficiently direct the tens of thousands of flights that crisscross (往返奔波) the country daily," says Steve Loranger, chief executive of ITT Corporation, which is developing the ADS-B system for the FAA) H) A satellite-based system like NextGen will allow for tighter, more direct flight paths--more A to B instead of A to C to B. Every minute cut from a flight plan means less fuel and less carbon emissions．And with jet fuel costing about $1．75 per gallon (46 cents per liter．, that could save the airlines millions． I) Much of those savings will come during approach (進(jìn)場(chǎng)) and landing．Because the current system is less precise, controllers need to give planes plenty of room as they lock onto the runway, descending in a slow, stepped approach．NextGen will allow planes to make what is called a continuous-descent approach (CDA) , essentially letting them turn off their engines, saving tons of fuel and reducing pollutants． J) At the airport in Louisville, Kentucky, where UPS has been experimenting with a satellite-based control system, the shipper has been able to use CDA for landings and maximize the number of planes in the air at any given time．UPS estimates that the system has helped save 250 to 465 pounds (110 to 210 kg) of fuel per flight．"Making engines more efficient isn't easy or cheap," says Bob Smith, chief technology officer of Honeywell Aerospace, whose SmartPath precision-landing system will be part of NextGen．"But improving air-traffic management can be done just by optimizing the technology we already have．" K) The FAA says that by 2018, as NextGen spreads around the U．S．, the new system will reduce flight delays 35% to 40% and save almost a billion gallons of fuel．There should be safety benefits as well: in an ADS-B trial in Alaska, the accident rate for planes fell 47%．But the shift won't be cheap: the FAA estimates that NextGen will cost from $15 billion to $22 billion, with a comparable cost for airlines as they furnish their planes with new equipment． L) And not every airline expert is convinced that NextGen will live up to the FAA's promises, especially given the agency's management history．Even with a more efficient control system, the most heavily trafficked corridors may remain crowded because of sheer lack of runway space．"The satellite-based system is great, but it should have been put in place much earlier," says Mike Boyd, an airline-industry consultant based in Colorado．"I guarantee you, NextGen will not fix the delay problem．" M) Even if NextGen delivers impressive efficiency gains, the airline industry faces a long-term climate challenge．With global airline-passenger numbers expected to continuously rise in the future, efficiency improvements may barely compensate for overall growth．If the airline industry is really going to reduce carbon emissions--in September the IATA promised to cut emissions 50% from 2005 levels by 2050--it will need to scale up low-carbon biofuels．But aviation (航空工業(yè)) is well behind the automotive sector when it comes to feasible alternative fuels, and some environmentalists argue that the only sustainable solution is simply to fly less．"Efficiency isn't enough," says Richard Dyer, aviation campaigner for Friends of the Earth．"To go on raising emissions isn't acceptable．" N) Still, while high-speed trains can reduce the need for some short-distance flights, it's difficult to imagine the aviation sector shrinking．Expect airlines to be big purchasers of greenhouse-gas offsets if the upper limit to a global carbon is mandated in Copenhagen, while research continues on alternative fuels． O) However, modernizing an out-of-date air-traffic-control system makes sense even if the globe never warms another degree．"Ultimately, this is about a better travel experience over the long term," says John Kefaliotis, ITT's program manager for ADS-B. "We've all got better things to do than waste time--and everything else--in the air．" Express trains for short trips are unlikely to stop the air travel industry from developing in the future．
48、NextGen allows a plane to fly directly to its destination without a stop at a third place．
49、NextGen is something like the automotive GPS, but it can give pilots more information about what is going on around.
50、Some airline experts are doubtful about whether NextGen can really help solve the delay problem in air travel．
51、The current radar-based air-traffic-control system plays a significant role in delays and low efficiencies in air travel．
52、High efficiency achieved by NextGen is not considered a final solution to carbon emissions in the air travel industry．
53、Compared to the radar-based air-traffic-control system, NextGen enables a plane to descend in a different manner when landing．
54、In addition to the reduction in delays and fuel consumption, improved safety is another advantage of NextGen．
55、To update the air-traffic-control system is eventually meaningful in terms of a better travel experience．
56、At present, the most effective way for the airline industry to reduce carbon emissions is to adopt NextGen rather than biofuels． Section C Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D ).

57、 QuesUons57-66are based on the following paassage Trying to quantify your aerobic fitness (有氧適能)is difficult since it usually requires access to an exercise-physiology lab.But researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology have developed a low-tech means of precisely assessing aerobic fitness and estimating your "fitness age", or how well your body functions physically, relative to how well it should work, given your age． The researchers evaluated almost 5,000 Norwegians between the ages of 20 and 90, using mobile labs．They took about a dozen measurements, including height, body mass index, resting heart rate, HDL (高密度脂蛋白)and total cholesterol (膽固醇)levels． Each person also filled out a lifestyle questionnaire．Finally, each volunteer ran to the point of exhaustion on a treadmill (跑步機(jī))to measure his or her peak oxygen intake (VO2 max) 一an indicator of fitness age, sine VO2 max is found to closely correlate with significantly increased life spans, even among the elderly or overweight． In order to figure out how to estimate VO2 max without a treadmill, the scientists examined the results to determine which of the data points were most useful． Surprisingly, they found that putting just five measurements--waist circumference (腰圍); resting heart rate; frequency and intensity of exercise; age; and sex-r-into an formula allowed them to predict a person's VO2 max with great accuracy, according to their study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise． The researchers used the data set to make a table of the typical, desirable VO2 max for a healthy person at every age from 20 to 90, creating specific parameters (參數(shù))for fitness age． The concept is simple enough, explains Ulrik Wisloff, a professor at the Norwegian University and the senior author of the study．"A 70-year-old person who has the peak oxygen intake of a 20-year-old has a fitness age of 20," he says．He has seen just this combination during his research． The researchers have used all of this data to create an online calculator that allows people to determine their VO2 max without going to a lab. Just plug the numbers of the five measurements into the calculator, and you'll learn your fitness age． To determine your resting heart rate, sit quietly for 10 minutes and check your pulse; count for 30 seconds, double the number and you have your resting heart rate． The results can be alarming． A 50-year-old man, for instance, may have a fitness age of 59． Thankfully, unwanted fitness years can be erased. Exercise more frequently or more intensely． Then replug your numbers and your "age" will decline． A youthful fitness age, Dr． Wisloff says, "is the single best predictor of current and future health．" What can we infer about aerobic fitness? A．It's impossible to measure for the need of special labs． B．It's difficult to measure precisely． C．It can be quantified by your fitness age． D．It shows how well your body should function．
58、How did the researchers obtain the volunteers' fitness age? A．By asking each volunteer to take about a dozen measurements． B．By checking the lifestyle questionnaires filled by volunteers． C．By plugging five measurements into an online calculator． D．By measuring each volunteer's VO2 max with a treadmill．
59、Which of the following is one of the achievements made by the researchers? A．They worked out a reference table for fitness age． B．They specified how to determine your resting heart rate． C．They identified VO2 max as an indicator of fitness age． D．They indicated that the elderly can have increased life spans．
60、What do we learn about the five measurements that can be used to predict a person's fitness age? A．In the study they were among the previous dozen measurements． B．You can get the five measurements all by yourself． C．Exercise is more important than the other four measurements． D．The researchers had expected less than five measurements．
61、What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Fitness age tends to be larger than your actual age． B．Fitness age may vary based on the amount of exercise． C．You should run the calculator twice to get the accurate fitness age． D．Fitness age can determine your future health．
62、Questions62-71are based on the following passage. Most of us are bad at spotting a lie, at least consciously．New research, published recently in Psychological Science, suggests that we have good instincts for judging liars, but that they are so deeply buried that we can't get at them． This finding is the work of Leanne Ten Brinke, now at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley．"Perhaps our own bodies know better than our conscious minds who is lying," she explained. It's well accepted that most of us are no better than a flip (輕拋．of the coin at seeing a lie．A classic experiment involves showing study subjects videotape of people, some of whom are lying, who say they did not steal $100; the subjects correctly guess the liars about half the time． Dr．Ten Brinke and her collaborators improved that experiment: After the subjects watched the video and made their conscious assessments of who was lying, the researchers tried to measure the subjects' unconscious reactions． The researchers flashed images of someone already seen in the videotape--but this time in milliseconds, indiscernible consciously．The subjects then completed a word task that involved placing "truth" words (like truthful, honest, valid) and "lie" words (dishonest, invalid, deceitful．into their proper categories． When study subjects were flashed a picture of a liar, they were significantly slower to put words like truthful or honest into the "truth" category, but faster to put words like deceitful into the "lie" category．The opposite was true when the subjects saw a truthful person．So, in general, the same people seemed better at detecting lies unconsciously than consciously．By scientific measures, the size of the effect was obviously nontrivial (重大的) , but not overwhelming． There are many theories about why the ability to pick out liars gets lost in translation to consciousness．Dr．Ten Brinke speculated that we tell one another little lies all the time---for survival, reproductive (繁衍) strategy, and so on--and that part of getting along socially is being able to let those harmless lies escape notice． Is it possible to access the unconscious ability? "It's the million-dollar question," she said. The study fits into a rich history of lie, detection research, with some researchers saying they can read lies in facial expressions, and others arguing that liars just don't give off enough clear signals to allow detection． "The cues are so faint," said Dr．Bella DePaulo, a visiting professor of psychology at Uniyersity of California, Santa Barbara and an expert in the science of lie detection．She said that there was some evidence that supported the idea of unconscious or indirect lie detecting, but she doubted that it would ever become a truly effective system． What can we learn about our conscious ability to judge liars? A．It is much better than a flip of the coin． B．It is based on the facial expressions of liars． C．It is better than our bodies' instinctive reactions． D．It is unreliable and almost comparable to luck．
63、According to Dr．Ten Brinke's study, what were the subjects faster to do when they saw a truthful person? A．To put the word deceitful into the "lie" category． B．To put the word honest into the "lie" category． C．To put the word honest into the "truth" category． D．To put the word deceitful into the "truth" category．
64、What is one possible reason for our loss of the unconscious ability to detect lies? A．We ourselves are liars in order to adapt to the society． B．There are not enough clear signals for lie detection． C．It is a strategy we adopt to find harmful lies． D．The unconscious ability is buried too deeply to access．
65、What does "the million-dollar question" (Line 1, Para. 8) most suitably refer to? A．It is a question that is worth a million dollars． B．It is a difficult question that no one can give a final answer to． C．To answer the question will cost a huge amount of money． D．There is too much research that is related to this question．
66、What's Dr．Bella DePaulo's attitude toward unconscious lie detecting? A．Supportive． B．Critical． C．Unconcerned D．Skeptical． Part II Reading Comprehension Part VI Translation （30 minutes） Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.
