Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the
20、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 giving a motorist a ticket (罚款单 ). Another may say that he sees a rushhour traffic jam at the intersection. The third ma
21、y 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 us. Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world aroun
22、d 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, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. (1). See
23、ing 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). Perceiving is an action that takes place _. A. in our eyes B. only when we think very hard about something C. only under the
24、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). People perceive different things about the same scene because _. A. they see different thing B. they cannot agree about
25、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 windows D. studying peoples eyes 2. Data from the pioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
26、 (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 dioxide. Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight easily passes through a planets atmosph
27、er e, warms 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 NASAs scientists to establish the exact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planets atmosphere and on its
28、 surface. Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles, and radiative heating predicted Venus surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and it has a relatively thin atmosphere like Earths but Venus atmosphere consists of more than ninety perc
29、ent 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 does Earths. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of possible adverse effects on Eart
30、hs 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 title for this passage? A. The Voyage of Pioneer Spacecraft B. Measuring Planetary Temperatures C. A New Theory D. The Gre
31、enhouse 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 dioxi
32、de B. It is four percent thinner C. It holds significantly less moisture D. It traps less heat radiation (4). It can be inferred from the passage that the burning of fossil fuels on Earth may cause _. A. more carbon dioxide to enter sea water B. more sunlight to reach the Earths surface C. the plane
33、ts temperature to change D. the atmosphere to become thinner (5). According to the passage, data from the Venus study can be used to _. A. predict changes in the planets orbit B. test a theory about more efficient greenhouse C. test the efficiency of a spacecraft D. predict future agricultural probl
