In those days, ladies wore long bathing dresses, and men wore bathing suits. Women did not walk about on the

23、habited island in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records. It is 1,510 miles southwest of its nearest neighbor, St. Helena, and 1,950miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral（葡萄牙海军上将） of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and
24、 has a population of a few hundred. Coming in a close second and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor, Pitcairn Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America. The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around th
25、e 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moai, for which the island is most famous. On Easter Sunday, 1772, however, settlers
26、from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean land. They share one street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day. 39 It can be learned from the text that the island of Tristan da Cunha _.

29、h century. D. The huge stones figures were supposedly built by the early settlers from Holland. COur eyes may be playing tricks on us. New research shows that sometimes people physically see what they want to see. Cornell University social psychologist ( 心理学家 ) David Dunning carried out experiments
30、to test whether wishful thinking can actually affect what we see. “ It s well proved from what is experienced in everyday life, and from the laboratory as well, that people think what they want to thi nk, ” he says. “ Were taking this a step further. Were asking if strong wishes and fears can actual
31、ly affect what people physically see. ”Dunning and his assistants told volunteers that a computer game would show them either a letter or number to decide whether they would drink orange juice or fruit syrup (果子露 ). As they wrote in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, the computer woul
32、d flash an ambiguous picture, which could be seen as the letter “ B” or the number “ 13”. Volunteers who were told that a letter would get them orange juice most often reported seeing “ B”. Those who were told that a number would get them orange juice most often saw “ 13”. The researchers also used
33、a hidden camera to track volunteers eye movements, particularly the first eye movement. “ We dont control them, ” Dunning says, “and they dont even know that we are watching them, so it honestly shows what a person is seeing. ”“ This research suggests that the brain is doing a lot of work between th
34、e eye and the conscious awareness to affect what we think, ”Dunning concludes(得出结论 ). “ Before we even see the world, our brain has decided to keep what we want to see and avoid what we dont want to see. ”43. The passage is mainly about _. A. the eye movements of some volunteers B. an experiment by
35、the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology英语试卷 第 7 页，共 10 页C. a social psychologist Dunning and his assistants D. new findings on what may affect what we see 44.

36、nderlined word “ ambiguous ” most probably means _. A. interesting B. unclear C. important D. old 46. Which of the following statements is true according to Dunnings findings? A. The brain can influence peoples vision. B. The brain forgets what it wants to see. C. The eyes cant see without strong wi
37、shes and fears. D. The brain is not actually connected to the eyes. D Treasure hunts have excited peoples imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevensons Treasure Island. Kit Williams, a modern writer, had the idea of combining the real excitement of
38、a treasure hunt with clues found in a book when he wrote a childrens story, Masquerade, in 1979.The book was about a hare, and a month before it came out Williams buried( 埋 ) a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire. The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare, but Williams
39、 put in a lot of “red herrings“, or false clues, to mislead them. Ken Roberts, the man who found the hare, had been looking for it for nearly two years. Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time, he found it by logic(逻辑 ), not by luck. His success came from the fact that he h
40、ad gained an important clue at the start. He had realized that the words: “One of Six to Eight “under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon, the first of Henry VIIIs six wives. Even here, however, Williams had succeeded in misleading him. Ken knew that K
41、atherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there. He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea came to him. He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill, in Bedfordshire, and thought that he
42、must have buried the hare in a place he knew well, but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon, until one day he saw two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773. 英语试卷 第 8 页，共 10 页Even then his search had not come to an end. It wa
43、s only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there. Williams encouraged him to continue, and on February 24th 1982, he found the treasure. It was worth 3000 in the beginning, but the excitement it ha
44、d caused since its burial made it much more valuable. 47. The underlined word “them“(paragraph1) refers to _ . A. red herrings B. treasure hunts C. Henry VIIIs six wives D. readers of Masquerade48. What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare？A. Two stone crosses in
45、 Ampthill. B. Stevensons Treasure Island.C. Katherine of Aragon. D. Williams home town. 49. The stone crosses in Ampthill were built _. A. to tell people about what happened in 1773 B. to show respect for Henry VIIIs first wife C. to serve as a road sign in Ampthill Park D. to tell people where the
46、gold hare was 50. Which of the following describes Roberts logic in searching for the hare? a. Henry VIIIs six wives b. Katherines burial place at Kimbolton c. Williams childhood in Ampthill d. Katherine of Aragon e. stone crosses in Ampthill Park A. a-b-c-e-d B. d-b-c-e-a C. a-d-b-c-e D. d-a-b-c-e
