Section C(题干) 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). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 46 and 50 are based on the following passage. That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect. Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators (捕食者). This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did. Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found. What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect? A. To what extent it can trouble people.B.What role it has played in evolution.C. What circumstances may trigger it.D.In what way it can be beneficial.What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research?A.She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep.B.She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way.C.She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphinsD.She conducted studies on birds’ and dolphins’ sleeping patterns.What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment?A.She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains.B.She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment.C.She exposed her participants to two different stimuli.D.She compared the responses of different participants.What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?A.They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others.B.They tended to perceive irregular beeps as a threat.C.They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps.D.They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones.What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?A.She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.B.She recruited 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences.C.She studied the differences between the two sides of participants’ brains.D.She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects.请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析,谢谢!

答案

问题 1 答案解析:D
问题 2 答案解析:C
问题 3 答案解析:C
问题 4 答案解析:B
问题 5 答案解析:A

解析

Passage One 题目解析

Question 46: What did researchers find puzzling about the the first-night effect?

答案:D. In what way it can be beneficial.
解析:根据原文第2段第2句“The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day.” 可知,研究者困惑的是“first-night effect”带来的好处是什么(因为第二天表现可能受影响),直接对应D选项“它如何有益”。

Question 47: What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research?

答案:C. She got some idea from previous studies on on birds and dolphins.
解析:原文第2段第3-4句提到“She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins... This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing.” 说明她从之前对鸟类和海豚的研究中获得了启发,对应C选项正确。A、B、D均与原文不符:A“发现鸟类和海豚睡眠时保持警觉”是之前的研究结果,非她是“知道”而非“发现”;B“睡眠方式相同”未提及;D“研究它们的睡眠模式”是之前的研究,非她的研究。

Question 48: What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment?

答案:C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli.
解析:原文第4段提到“presenting the sleeping participants a mix of regularly timed beeps of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone”,即给参与者两种不同的刺激(规律蜂鸣和不规律蜂鸣),C选项“让参与者接触两种不同刺激”正确。A“分析不规则声调的负面影响”未提;B“记录对环境变化的适应”非实验目的;D“比较不同参与者的反应”未提及。

Question 49: What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment?

答案:B. They tended to perceive irregular beeps as a threat.
解析:原文第4段指出“if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard... then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep”,且“This is precisely what she found.” 说明参与者会对不规则蜂鸣做出反应(醒来),即认为不规则蜂鸣是威胁,B正确。A“喜欢某些声调”“规律蜂鸣让人 sleepy”“对不规则声调的耐受度不同”均未提及。

Question 50: What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment?

答案:A. She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment.
解析:原文第3段提到“studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar surroundings... carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains”,即首次实验中她监测了参与者在新环境中睡眠时的大脑活动,A正确。B“从心理系招募35人”未提地点来源;C“研究大脑两侧差异”是首次实验的结果(发现左脑睡眠浅眠),非实验行为本身;D“在人类身上测试鸟类和海豚的发现”是重新实验的目的,非首次实验。

  • The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

  • question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
