The second group are Fortunes favored children. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and when ordinary holidays come, they always complain that their interesting holidays are interrupted forcibly.In fact, it is essential for both two groups to change the outlook, atmosphere and environment and try something different.

He suspected that some special psychology must be going on inside the women as they shopped in supermarkets. His suspicion was that perhaps they underwent such an increase in tension when confronted with so many possibilities that they were forced into making quick purchases. He set out to find out if this were true. The best way to detect what was going on inside the shopper was through the use of a galvanometer or lie detector. That obviously was impractical. The next best thing was to use a hidden motion-picture camera and record the eye-blink rate of the women as they shopped. How fast a person blinks his eyes is a pretty good index of his state of inner tension. The average person, according to Mr. Vicary, normally blinks his eyes about 32 times a minute. If he is tense, he blinks them more frequently; and, under extreme tension, he may blink up to 50 or 60 times a minute. If he is notably relaxed, on the other hand, his eye-blink rate may drop to a subnormal twenty or less.Mr. Vicary set up his cameras and started following the ladies as they entered the store. The results were startling, even to him. Their eye-blink rate, instead of going up to indicate mounting tension, went down and down, to a very subnormal fourteen blinks a minute. The ladies fell into what Mr. Vicary calls a hypnoidal trance, a light kind of trance that, he explains, is the first stage of hypnosis. Mr. Vicary has decided that the main cause of the trance is that the supermarket is packed with products which in former years would have been items only kings and queens could have afforded and here in this fairyland they were available to all. Mr. Vicary theorizes: Just within this generation, anyone can be a king or queen and go through these stores where the products say buy me buy me”.1.Vicarys curiosity was aroused by the fact that（ ）.2.According to the article, eye-blink rate is an indication of （ ）.3.Mr. Vicarys test（ ）.4.After his tests, Mr. Vicary concluded that（ ）.5.The article implied but not stated（ ）.问题1选项A.there was a decrease in sales in supermarketsB.women were showing strong resistance to products in supermarketsC.there seemed to be no logic in womens buying habitsD.women were shopping very carefully问题2选项A.the truth or falsity of a statementB.the mental ability of a personC.blood pressureD.the emotional state of a person问题3选项A.proved his original hypothesis to be trueB.proved that the tension of a woman shopper, after entering store, decreased rather than increasedC.nullified the eye-blink rate as a measurement of tensionD.showed that a womans reaction to the products in a supermarket is impossible to determine.问题4选项A.shopping was apt to create serious nervous disordersB.a supermarket is fantastic placeC.women are entranced by the many wonderful items available in supermarketsD.women develop an inferiority complex when in supermarkets问题5选项A.Quick purchases are the result of inner tensionB.The first stage of hypnosis is a light tranceC.Research conducted by motivation analysis can disprove their original premisesD.Supermarkets seeking a fairyland atmosphere should install hidden movie cameras【答案】第1题:C第2题:D第3题:B第4题:C第5题:C【解析】1.文章第一段提到Vicaiy对女性冲动购物越来越好奇，从而想去探究一番，选项A “超市上销量减少”，选项B “女性对超市产品表现出强烈的抵制”，选项D “女性购物很谨慎”，这三个都不是引发这位研究者好奇心的原因，选项C符合题意。2.文章第一段How fast a person blinks his eyes is a pretty good index of his state of inner tension提到眨眼睛的频率可以反映一个人内心的紧张程度，选项D符合题意。3.文章第二段提到Vicary拿起了隐藏的摄像机，进入了商店。通过实践得知，并没有像他预想的那样，女性进入商店后，她们的眨眼率没有增加，而是减少了(their eye-blink rate, instead of going up to indicate mounting tension, went down and down, to a very subnormal fourteen blinks a minute)，选项B符合题意。4.文章第二段提到女性进入商店后，进入了一种Vicarys称之为催眠的状态。Vicary认为超市中摆满了在以前只有王室才用得起的商品，而现在一般人都可以用，而这就是使女性进入催眠的缘由，选项C “女性为超市里那些商品着迷”符合题意。5.题干的要求是文章暗含了但是没有写出来的是什么。文章讲述了Vicary出于对女性冲动购物的好奇而用影藏摄像机在超市进行跟拍，想根据女性购物使眨眼的次数来判断她们购物时的紧张程度。但是跟他预期不同的是，她们眨眼的次数不但没有上升，反而下降了，原因是女性在购物的时候，全身放松，非常舒坦。所以这个结果推翻了原来的结论，选项C符合题意。9.单选题When I asked if a black politician could win in France, however, he responded （ ）.“No conditions here are different.”问题1选项A.ambiguouslyB.implicitlyC.unhesitatinglyD.optimistically【答案】C【解析】考察副词词义辨析。ambiguously “含糊不清地”；implicitly “含蓄地，暗中地”；unhesitatingly “不踌躇地，迅速地”；optimistically “乐观地”。句意：然而，当我问一位黑人政治家能否在法国获胜时，他毫无犹豫地回答说： “这里的情况没有什么不同”。选项C符合题意。10.单选题Satellite communications are so up-to-date that even when （ ）in the middle of the Pacific, businessman can contact their offices as if they were next door.问题1选项A.glidingB.cruisingC.pilotingD.patrolling【答案】B【解析】考察动词（ing形式）词义辨析。Gliding “滑动，掠过”； cruising “航行（海上）”；piloting “航行（空中）”；patrolling “巡逻，巡查”。句意：卫星通讯是如此与时俱进以致于商人们即使在太平洋上航行都可以与办公室职员联系，就如同他们就在隔壁。选项B符合题意。
