29、sy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives(察觉 )something different about it. Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman
30、giving a motorist a ticket (罚款单 ). Another may say that he sees a rushhour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow(拉着 ). For perception is the mindss interpretation of what the senses in this case our eyes tell
31、 us. Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments,
32、they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. (1). Seeing and perceiving are _. A. the same action B. two separate actions C. two actions carried on entirely by the eyes D. several actions that take place at different times (2). Perce
33、iving is an action that takes place _. A. in our eyes B. only when we think very hard about something C. only under the direction of a psychologist D. in every persons mind (3). Perception involves what _ A. our senses tell us B. our minds interpret C. we see with our eyes only D. both A and B (4).
34、People perceive different things about the same scene because _. A. they see different thing B. they cannot agree about things C. some have better eyesight D. none of these (5). Psychologists study perception by _. A. setting up many experiments B. asking each other what they see C. looking out of w
35、indows D. studying peoples eyes 2. Data from the pioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) apparently prove the theory that searing 900-degree Fahrenheit surface temperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric greenhouse effect caused mainly by a blanket of carbon
36、dioxide. Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight easily passes through a planets atmosphere, war ms its surface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere. The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus atmosphere from top to bottom, enabling NA
37、SAs scientists to establish the exact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planets atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles, and radiative heating predicted Venus surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sun t
38、han is Earth, and it has a relatively thin atmosphere like Earths but Venus atmosphere consists of more than ninety percent carbon dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its higher percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus atmosphere traps much more heat radiation than do
39、es Earths. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of possible adverse effects on Earths agriculture and sea levels that could result from the long-term use of fossil fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. (1). Which of the following would be the best ti
40、tle for this passage? A. The Voyage of Pioneer Spacecraft B. Measuring Planetary Temperatures C. A New Theory D. The Greenhouse Effect on Venus (2). According to the passage, what heats the atmosphere on Venus? A. The green house effect B. The sunlight C. The radiation D. The carbon dioxide (3). According to the passage, how does the atmosphere of Venus differ from that of Earth? A. It contains much more carbon dioxide B. It is four percent thinner C. It holds significantly less moisture D. It traps less heat
