Question

【題目】Telepathy: Mind-to-mind Contact

Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). It’s an instinct (本能) which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct, we’re using resources within the unconscious mind. When the resources of two persons’ unconscious minds link together into the same frequency, we call it Telepathy.

We can either send or receive Telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone, you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending.

You can easily put your abilities to the test. Think of somebody and will him or her to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver, but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phones rings, but try “feeling” who is contacting you. Don’t guess, but try to feel it with your mind. However, if neither of these work for you, that doesn’t mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.

Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams had a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other’s unconscious mind.

Telepathy & Relationships. The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other’s mind, especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other’s mind through time spent together; the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child’s eagerly wanting his or her mother, knowing that this person who would always want to be there for them, and the mother’s deep desire to protect her child from harm.

Answer 1

【答案】

【小題1】D

【小題2】C

【小題3】B

【解析】

試題分析: 本文是說明文，講述心靈感應(yīng)是一種進行交流的本能，在緊急關(guān)頭或需要時，我們常常能激發(fā)出這種潛能，但這種本能存在于哪還不確定。

【小題1】D 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段提到Telepathy is the ability to communicate without the use of the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste). It’s an instinct (本能) which can be woken up in times of emergency or need.和第三段提到As mentioned earlier, telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency.可知心靈感應(yīng)出現(xiàn)在緊急關(guān)頭或需要時，或危險時，故選D項。

【小題2】C 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段提到If you think of a person and he/she calls you, you are most likely to be better at sending. 如果你正在想著某人, 然后他就給你打電話了, 那么你可能更擅長于發(fā)送感應(yīng)，故選C項。

【小題3】B 考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段提到The more people spend time together, the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other’s mind, especially when separated人們在一起相處的時間越長, 他們的心靈相互間就越有可能產(chǎn)生共鳴, 尤其當(dāng)他們分開的時候，故B項錯誤。
