You turn around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists（灵学家）say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a "six sense,' really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist （心理学家）at the University of Kentucky, did 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 （受试者）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 in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they being stared at and when they weren't. Baker found the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren*t.Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they are being stared at. If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments, said Baker, "I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.n（1） What*s the aim of the two experiments for?A.

''Members of the public come to our libraries more for sightseeing than reading/ said Wang."They sometimes even bring their kids along, and take photos as if it was a place of interest."Wang has found it hard to get a seat during busy times. Being short of space is a common problem for university libraries in China.However, this is not the only reason why students dislike their libraries being open to members of the public. They fear that the quietness of the libraries will be influenced because of visitors* rude behavior.Chen Jie, 18, a student in Tongji University, is one who would be against opening to the public. HI have been to a public library before. People were chatting loudly or speaking on cell phone so you can hardly read/ Chen said.

In Europe for example, coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends and to talk while they drink coffee. On the other hand, places like this were not as common in North America in the past. Instead, people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends. The coffee culture in the USA changed when Starbucks coffee shops spread across the country.The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington, in the USA. It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans. The coffee shop's business did well, and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.Things really began to change for the company in 1981. That year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers, which caused his great interest. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing.In 1983, Schultz traveled to Italy. The special environment of the espresso bars there caught his eyes.Back in the USA, Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual, and customers everywhere seemed to like it. Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA. Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.However, that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems. In fact, many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years. On the one hand, this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area. On the other hand, stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the" feel the same everywhereH environment offered by Starbucks.(1) The underlined word "ran" in Paragraph 3 probably means.A. closedB. managedC. leftD. sold(2) According to the passage, which is the right order for the following sentences?a. This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.b. Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA.c. He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it.d. Howard Schultz noticed Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.A. a - b - d - c B. c - a - b - dC. b - d - c - aD. d - c - a - bD / P5B. The History of Star bucksD. The Environment of Starbucks.(3) Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage ? (P=paragraph)Pl P2 P3 P4(4) What's the best title for the passage?A. The Culture of Star bucksC. The Popularity of Starbucks【答案】(1) B(2) C(3) C(4) B【解析】【分析】文章大意：机关世界各地的人喜欢喝咖啡，但是各地的咖啡文化是不一样的，有的 地方的咖啡店就是个平常的地方，而在北美的过去咖啡店却不常见，星巴克的出现改变了这种状 况，短文主要讲述了星巴克的开展历程。(1)词义猜想题，根据 hat year, Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks. .In 1982, the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing. 可知，ran 这里的意思是经 营、运营的意思，故答案是B。(2)细节理解题，根据 The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle, Washington,in the US A. Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment. He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers,. Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did. Today, there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world. 可知，一开 始星巴客店很小，然后是舒尔茨发现星巴克订购了许多特殊的咖啡机，再就是舒尔茨被星巴克公司 雇佣，最后是在舒尔茨的帮助下，星巴克公司壮大了，故答案是C。(3)推理判断题，根据文章内容，第一段总体描述了美国的咖啡文化，以及星巴克对咖啡文化的影 响；第2-4段主要描述了星巴克的开展历程；第五段总结了星巴克将要面临的问题；因此短文按照 总一分一总的结构方式来表达，故答案是C。(4)标题判断题，根据文章内容可知，短文主要讲述了星巴克的开展历程，故答案是B。【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节理解题、逻辑推理题、词义猜想题和标题判断题。细节理解 题可以直接从文中寻找答案；逻辑推理题需要结合具体语境，有内容推出未知的可能的事实； 词义猜想题需要结合具体语境，推出未知单词的意思；标题判断题需要在充分理解文章的基础上归 纳文章中心，凝练句式得出结论。八、阅读理解(共15小题，每题2分，总分值30分)27 .阅读理解In many British schools, the pupils usually wear their school uniforms to school on weekdays. However, recently the students at LVS Ascot Junior School in England wore something quite different. What they wore was what people wear when they go to bed-pyjamas(睡衣).They did this not only for fun, but for a local charity called Christopher's Smile.Christophers Smile was set up in 2008 by Karen & Kevin Capel whose only son Christopher died of cancer at a young age. They hope their charity will help pay for more research into children's cancers. Since then, the charity has raised a lot of money and gotten more and more volunteers. Every year, thousands of people take part in different activities such as charity walk or run to show their support for Christopher'sSmile.The students of Grade 6 at LVS Ascot Junior School also wanted to do something for the sick children. They organized the eventHPyjama Day" to support Christopher's Smile. nWe wanted to raise money for our charity in a way that the whole school could join in it, so each pupil paid £1 to wear his or her pyjamas to school on Pyjama Day," said the young organizers.
