(·江南十校)

Before discussing different kinds of emotions, let us briefly talk about how researchers measure bodily processes and action or behavior, and how this relates to what we do in our daily lives when we observe emotions in others.

Bodily processes can be directly measured by means of a polygraph. When a polygrap is skillfully used to pare how we react bodily with what we are saying, it is called a “lie detector”. Bodily processes can also be measured indirectly. This is what we do when we observe someone blushing (脸红). However, we are not always aware of what bodily processes respond to.

Measuring action or behavior is the other way researchers assess the emotions. For example, one measure of fear of snakes is how close a person will go to the snake. Another procedure is to have a person tell how afraid he is, or how he feels. In this way, researchers have developed the so－called “fear thermometer” to assess a person’s fear. In our everyday living, we do very much the same thing. Only not too systematically, we react to what a person does, what he says, how he says it, and how he looks. Is he smiling? Is his voice trembling? We put all this observations together to infer what a person is feeling.

However, we do not always act as we feel. Sometimes we do things that we don’t feel like doing. Sometimes we say we feel one way and then we act another. Actors, for example, successfully learn to “make believe” emotions, or learn to hide them. Thus we cannot always tell what a person is feeling by what he says or by what he does.

60．Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. We can never tell what a person is feeling.

B. The “fear thermometer” is a way to measure how fearful a person is. C. Researchers can assess the emotions in some ways.

D. People do not always know what bodily processes they respond to.

61．The underlined word “assess” in the 3rd paragraph is close in meaning to ______.

A. make B. measure

C. discuss D. develop

62．The writer uses the example of actors in order to argue that ______. A. it is rather easy to bee successful actors B. people do not always act as they feel

C. we can never believe what other people say D. actors are always telling lies

63．The passage is mainly about ______. A. the way of assessing the emotion B. the usefulness of a “lie detector” C. the functioning of different emotions

D. the development of the “fear thermometer” [答案]

(·福建) Foreign drivers will have to pay on－the－spot fines of up to ￡900 for breaking the traffic law to be carried out next month.

If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, their vehicles will be clamped(扣留) until they pay—and they will face an additional fee of ￡80 for getting back their vehicles.

The law will also apply to British citizens. The fines will be described officially as “deposits” when the traffic law takes effect, because the money would be returned if the driver went to court and was found not guilty. In practice, very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to deal with their cases.

Foreign drivers are rarely charged because police cannot take action against them if they fail to appear in court. Instead, officers often merely give warnings.

Three million foreign－registered vehicles enter Britain each year. Polish vehicles make up 36 percent, French vehicles 10 percent and German vehicles 9 percent.

Foreign vehicles are 30 percent more likely to be in a crash than British－registered vehicles. The number of crashes caused by foreign vehicles rose by 47 percent between xx and xx. There were almost 400 deaths and serious injuries and 3,000 slight injuries from accidents caused by foreign vehicles in xx.

The new law is partly intended to settle the problem of foreign lorry drivers ignoring limits on weight and hours at the wheel. Foreign lorries are three times more likely to be in a crash than British lorries. Recent spot checks found that three quarters of lorries that failed safety tests were registered overseas.

The standard deposit for a careless driving offence—such as driving too close to the vehicle in front or reading a map at t …… 此处隐藏：4033字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
