Question

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。

Do you have memories of being kidnapped (綁架)by aliens and taken away rapidly in a spaceship? You wouldn’t be alone. Several thousand people worldwide reported to have had such experiences, researchers say. But in a new study, a psychology expert at London’s Goldsmiths College says these experiences are proof of the weakness of the human memory, rather than evidence of life in outer space.

“Maybe what we’re dealing with here is false memories, and not that people are actually being kidnapped and taken aboard spaceships,” says Professor Chris French, who surveyed 19 so-called victims.

Several of the victims reported being taken away from their beds or cars by alien creatures around four feet high, with long and lean arms and legs and over-sized heads, French said. Some men said they were forced to take painful medical examinations by the aliens.

Many of the alien experiences could be explained by sleep paralysis, a condition in which a person is awake and aware of the surroundings but is unable to move. Sleep paralysis often leads to hallucinations —the experience of seeing or feeling something that is not really there and 40 percent of people experience the state at least once in their lives, French said. A rich imagination was also at play. Several of the alien victims were more likely to fantasize and reported to have seen ghosts and have unnatural abilities.

“People have very rich fantasy lives,” said French, who is due to present his findings at a public seminar at London’s Science Museum on Wednesday. “So much that they often mix up what’s happening in their heads with what is going on in the real world.”

【1】According to Chris French, if someone told you an alien experience again, you might _____.

A. believe the story B. report it to the police

C. wonder why D. just laugh it away

【2】The underlined word “fantasize” in Paragraph 4 probably means _____.

A. have good memories B. tell the truth

C. use vivid imagination D. make up excuses

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards alien experiences?

A. Puzzling B. Objective.

C. Respectful. D. Supportive.

【4】Where can this passage probably be found?

A. A science magazine. B. A textbook.

C. A science fiction. D. A storybook.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于科普說明文，介紹了人們對于外星人劫持地球人事件的研究，很可能是人們的記憶方面存在的問題，很多這方面的報道通常只是人們編造出來的。

【1】D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句But ........ays these experiences are proof of the weakness of the human memory, rather than evidence of life in outer space.和第二段第一句“Maybe what we’re dealing with here is false memories, and not that people are actually being kidnapped and taken aboard spaceships,” says Professor Chris French, who surveyed 19 so-called victims.可知實際上人們說他們被外星人帶走可能是一種記憶方面的錯誤并非事實。所以當有人告訴你他被外星人帶走的時候，通常都是假的，你別當真。故D正確。

【2】C 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段第三句A rich imagination was also at play可知在此過程中，人們也使用了豐富的想象力。編造出了被外星人帶走路的故事。所以fantasize意為C項含義。

【3】B 態(tài)度觀點題。作者在文章中對于外星人劫持地球人并沒有發(fā)表自己的評論，只是客觀的介紹科學家對這一現(xiàn)象的研究，說明他的態(tài)度是“objective”。故B正確。

【4】A 推理判斷題。本文屬于科普說明文，介紹了人們對于外星人劫持地球人報告的研究，很可能是人們的記憶方面存在的問題，很多所謂的這方面的報道通常只是人們編造出來的。所以本文最可能是從科學雜志里摘錄出來的。故A正確。
