　　一、阅读理解

　　A

　　Mark Twain was a famous American writer.He wrote many stories and many of them were very funny.These stories are still read by many people all over the world.Besides writing，he also liked hunting and fishing very much，so one year he went to Maine(缅因州)for a holiday and spent three very pleasant weeks in the woods there.

　　When he had to go back home，he went to the station with his baggage.There he asked a porter(搬运工)to put it into the train.Then he got into the smoking car and sat down in one of the comfortable seats there.The car was empty when he got in，but a few minutes later，another man got in and sat down on the seat opposite his.Mark Twain looked at the man and thought that this man looked quite unpleasant.However，it would be impolite to say nothing in that situation，so he said good morning to the man，and they began to talk.

　　First they talked about the heavy snow and then they talked about Maine.The stranger said，“We have some beautiful woods in Maine.It would be a pity to come to Maine without spending some time there.I suppose you have been in our woods，haven’t you？”“Yes，I have，”answered Mark Twain.“I’ve just spent three weeks there and I had a very good time，too.And let me tell you something.Although fishing isn’t allowed in Maine at this season，I’ve got two hundred pounds of beautiful fish with my baggage in this train.I like to eat fish，so I packed it in ice to take it home with me.May I ask who you are，sir？”

　　The stranger looked at Mark Twain for several seconds and then answered，“I’m a police officer.My job is to catch

　　people who hunt and fish during the wrong seasons.And who are you？”

　　Mark Twain was surprised and frightened when he

　　heard this.He thought quickly and then answered，“Well，I’ll tell you，sir.I’m the man who tells the biggest lies in America.”

　　Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched？You turned around and，sure enough，someone was looking right at you!

　　Some psychologists(心理学家)say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them.To study whether such a“sixth sense”really exists，Robert Baker，a psychologist at the University of Kentucky，performed two experiments.

　　In the first one，Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes.The subjects were eating，drinking，reading，studying，watching TV，or working at a computer.Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods.Later，when he questioned the subjects，almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.

　　For the second experiment，Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a twoway mirror in a lab setting.The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren’t.Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at than if they had just guessed.

　　Baker concluded that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at.If you doubt the outcome of his two experiments，I suggest you repeat the experiments and see for yourselves.

　　5．The first experiment made by Baker shows that______.

　　A．people can’t realize when they are watchedsecretly

　　B．one can’t sense other people’s watching when they

　　are talking

　　C．people have no idea about the sixth sense of human

　　beings

　　D．the sixth sense doesn’t work during the first 5 or 15 minutes

　　6．The second experiment differs from the first one in that______.

　　A．the subjects were not directly stared at from time to time

　　B．the subjects had to write something down in a lab sitting

　　C．the subjects were good at guessing when they were stared at

　　D．the subjects were informed of the purpose of the experiment

　　7．What is the author’s attitude towards the result of the experiment?

　　A．Supportive.

　　B．Doubtful.

　　C．Sympathetic.

　　D．Surprising.

　　8．We can infer from the passage that______.

　　A．it’s most probable that humans have six senses

　　B．the socalled sixth sense doesn’t exist in human beings

　　C．the experiments done by Baker hardly explain anything

　　D．people should make conclusions by themselves

　　二、任务型读写

　　阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

　　Stress can make us want to pull our hair out，but it’s also given as a common reason for increased hair loss or hair thinning，both in men and in women.Although there are few large studies on the topic，the agreement，supported

　　by animal models and human research，is that stressful events can cause temporary hair loss.

　　But is there any evidence to back this up？A study showed that emotional stress changed hair follicle(毛囊)cycling in mice，and ended the normal period of active hair growth in advance.

　　A few human studies have supported this conclusion，finding that the two types of temporary hair loss—telogen effluvium(休止期脱发)and alopecia areata(斑秃)—often follow stressful emotional or physical events.

　　Telogen effluvium is the most common type of hair loss caused by stress.This type of loss typically follows a physical stress，such as a surgery，illness，pregnancy，malnutrition，or a psychological stress.Around the time of the event，large numbers of hairs stop growing and move into the resting stage，known as the telogen stage.After about three months，these resting hairs start to fall out；this is when we notice the“handfuls”of hair lost in the shower.(Normal hair loss is about one hundred hairs a day.)Luckily，the hair will eventually grow back(if the problem above has been solved)in six to nine months.

　　Alopecia areata has a different system of hair loss，but can also be caused by stressful events.In alopecia areata，the immune(免疫的)system attacks the hair follicle，causing it to stop growing；this results in limited areas of hair loss.Usually the hair grows back in at most six to twelve months；sometimes this area of hair will be a slightly different color.

　　Stress won’t cause you to go hairless，but it might leave you with a haircoated pillow(枕头)sometime in the near future.

　　Topic 1.______ hair loss caused by stressful events

　　2.______ Emotional stress influences hair follicle cycling in mice and 3.______an end to the normal period of active hair growth before the hairs begin to 4.______ out.

　　Telogen effluvium *5.______ a physical or psychological stress，it stops large numbers of hairs from growing. *Generally，these hairs are

　　6.______ enough to grow back in six to nine

　　months.

　　Alopecia areata *The immune system attacks the hair follicle. *It results in localized hair 7.______. *These hairs will return 8.______ six to twelve months.

　　9.______ Stress doesn’t necessarily make you hairless，but it may cause your hair to fall out at a 10.______ rate.
