Practice 1　　The point is that, apart from many of the polygraphers being unqualified, the tests themselves are by no means free from error, primarily because they discount human imagination and ingenuity. Think of all those perfectly innocent people, with nothing to be afraid of, who blush and stammer when a customs officer asks them if they have anything to declare. Fear, and a consequently heightened electrical response, may not be enough to establish guilt. It depends on whether the subject is afraid of being found out or afraid of being wrongfully convicted. On the other hand, the person who is really guilty and whose past experience has prepared him for such tests can distort the results by anticipating the crucial questions or deliberately giving exaggerated responses to neutral ones!　　The success rate of up to 90% claimed for lie detectors is misleadingly attractive. If we refer such a figure to a company with 500 employees, twenty of whom are thieves, the lie detector could catch 18 of them but in doing so would place 32 innocent employees under suspicion.

第2题：

资料：Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pingeon can learm to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.
We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s peronality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Allports, an American psychologist, found nearly18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types——people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and persoality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

What is the main idea of this passage?

A.How to describe people’s personatities
B.How to distinguish people’s faces
C.How to distinguish people both inward and outward
D.How to differ good people from bad people

答案：C

【关键词】main idea
【主题句】第一段Faces, like fingerprints, are unique.（脸就像指纹一样独一无二。）；Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon --- can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.（然而，一个非常小的孩子或者一个动物（比如企鹅），他们能学会识别面容。）；第二段We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.（我们也可以通过举止来区分不同的人。当谈到某个人的个性时，我们指的是他或她的行为，说话，思考和感受，这些能让个体区别与他人。）；最后一段But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.（但我们能轻松地区别好人和坏人，因为这两种人在外貌和行为上都有不同之处。）
【解析】第1题问“这篇文章的主要内容是什么？”。首先，第一段指出外貌是区分个体和其他之间差异的重要指标，而这种识别面容的能力在小孩子，甚至是动物身上都能找到。而在第二段，文章提到除了外貌，还可以通过个性举止来识别一个人。此外，在文章结尾，作者提到了区别好人坏人的方法，既可以通过观察外貌，也可以通过行为来判断此人是好是坏。所以C选项“如何从内在和外在来区分一个人”，把原文内容进行总结归纳，应为正确答案。A选项“如何描述人们的个性”，该选项只在第三段最后一句有提及“But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate（体贴的）, friendly, warm, and so forth.”局部信息不能作为全文主旨；B选项“如何区分人脸”，文中并未提及，故排除；D选项“如何区分好人坏人”，该选项只在文章最后一句提及，全文并未多处涉及。

第3题：

One can never find out what the other people think about from his facial expression.

B、It means "keeping ideas to herself"

C、It means "telling everyone her bright ideas"

参考答案：A

We all take this ability for granted.（然而，一个非常小的孩子，或者一个动物（比如企鹅），他们能学会识别面容）；Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another.（可能即使是一位熟练的作家，他也不能把两张脸不同之处的所有特点描述出来。）；第二段When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.（当谈到某个人的个性时，我们指的是他或她的行为，说话，思考和感受，这些能让个体区分他人。）
【解析】第3题问“以下哪一项不是正确选项？”。A选项“人们的外貌都有不同”，该选项和第一段第一句话“脸就像指纹一样独一无二”内容一致；B选项“不同的人可能有不同的个性”，和文章第二段第二句话一致。C选项“人们能学会识别人脸”，和第一段第四句话“然而，一个非常小的孩子，或者一个动物（比如企鹅），他们能学会识别面容”内容一致。D选项“人们能把别人的所有特点描述出来”，和文章第一段第三句内容相反，原文说“即使是一位熟练的作家，他也不能把两张脸不同之处的所有特点描述出来”，说明没有人能说出所有特点，所以D选项为错误选项。

第7题：

People are indulging in an illusion whenever they find themselves explaining at a cocktail（鸡尾酒）party，say，that the are“in computers，”or“in telecommunications，”or“in electronic funds transfer”.The implication is that they are part of the high-tech world.Just between us，they usually aren’t.The researchers who made fundamental breakthroughs in those areas are in a high-tech business.The rest of us are（）of their work.We use computers and other new technology components to develop our products or to organize our affairs.Because we go about this work in teams and projects and other tightly knit working group（紧密联系在一起的工作小组），we are mostly in the human communication business.Our successes stem from good human interactions by all participants in the effort，and our failures stem from poor human interactions.

A.creators
B.innovators
C.appliers
D.inventors

答案：C

解析：

人们总幻觉自己参加了一个“计算机”、“电信”或“电子金融”方面的鸡尾酒会，梦想自己参与了这些高科技领域。事实是研究者们在那些高科技领域取得了根本性的突破，而其余的人都只是应用他们的研究成果而已。
我们使用电脑和其他新技术开发各种新产品能增强我们工作团队的合作，方便大家沟通。在人类的很多事业中，成功来源于所有参与者的共同努力，失败是因为大家不相互协作。很多失败的主要原因是我们过多关注技术而忽略了人性的一面，这并不是因为人性更重要，而是因为它更容易存在问题。
在短短几个月内，相比于获知为什么霍勒斯心中忐忑不安或者为什么苏珊是不满意的，开发新磁盘的安装驱动要容易实现得多，这是因为人类的交流是非常复杂的，而且从来就不干脆，总是不清不楚。但它的作用确实非常重要的。
如果你发现自己专注于技术而不是社会学。就如一个杂耍人物在黑暗的街道丢失了钥匙，而在临近的街道去寻找，而他的原因是：“临近街道的灯光更好”。

第8题：

Interviewer-------- Why is English so important?

David------- Well, English is so important primarily because so many people speak it and use it, so it has now become the lingua franca in the world in a way that we’ve never seen before. We’ve never had a world language of this kind before. So people are learning it not just to be able tocommunicate with native speakers, but also with speakers of other language around world.

Interviewer-------And why has it become that dominant language?

David------I think the reason for that is actually very complicated, although in the twentieth century, we can just see that it’s the rise of the US military and consumer power. I mean the technology, all the big developments in technology largely came from the US. So all of these developments actually were produced within the English language, and people had to learn English in order to understand them, or to benefit from them. The Internet is only one example of that kind. Once a language has got into that position of dominance, it’s actually very different to shift it. So we could be seeing the emergence of other big languages in the world becoming more important than they have been, like Spanish, but it’s unlikely that they’re going to shift the English from its position of dominance.

36. English is important, according to David, __________________________. A). because it has become a world language B). because so many people speak and use it C). because a lot of people are learning it D). because it is the lingua franca

37. English has become the dominant language in the world________________________. A). because it has always been the way B). for a reason that is very complicated C). only in the 20th century D). for no reasons

38. English became the dominant language in the 20th century_________________________. A). in the USA

B). because of the increase in American consumer power

C). because developments in technology came mainly from USA. D). all over the world.

39. People had to learn English______________________.

A). because developments in technology were made by English speakers B). because they needed to understand the new developments in technology C). to use the Internet

D). to speak with native Americans

40. David thinks that__________________________.

A). it will be easy for another language to become dominant B). English will not always be the dominant language

C). it will not be easy for another language to become dominant D). English will be the dominant language
