Question

15．For a long time，the traditional method of identifying liars was to watch their body language，including facial expressions．
What if the person appears to be nervous？Is the person unable to look me in the eye？Is he or she look around the room？What about other nervous movements，such as fidgeting（坐立不安）or shifting from side to side？Many people-from parents to police officers and airport security personnel-depend on this method．But does a person's body and face reveal the truth？Not according to a new study．
Talking，it seems，is the best way to smoke out a liar．That is what researchers in the United Kingdom found out recently．Their investigation took place at one place where lying can get you into big trouble-an airport．
The researchers asked volunteers to pretend they were real passengers and then lie to airport security agents．Some of the agents used spoke conversation-based methods to question these make-believe passengers．Others depended instead on the person's body language，like lack of eye contact and showing signs of nervousness．The agents talking with the passengers were 20times more likely to catch the liars．The study found that these conversation-based techniques can help you recognize when a person is lying to you．Like many methods，this conversation method has a name．It is called Controlled Cognitive Engagement or CCE，for short．
The British government partly financed this study．The American Psychological （APA） published the findings．Body language cannot be trusted．Using body language and facial expressions to catch someone in a lie is really hard．And it only works，seemingly，by chance．
Thomas Ormerod is the head of the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex in England．On the APA website，he reported that the"suspicious-signs method"-or using body language-"almost completely fails"in finding lies．

24．What are the questions in Paragraph 2intended to do？A．
A．Show traditional ways to recognize a liar．
B．Launch a survey among readers．
C．Show the writer's puzzlement．
D．Invite the readers to think twice．
25．What should volunteers in the investigation do？C．
A．Answer questions only using words．
B．Pretend to be airport security agents．
C．Act as passengers as researchers required．
D．Communicate with researchers by talking．
26．Which would be the best way to find out a liar according to the study？B．
A．Looking him in the eye．
B．Asking open-ended questions．
C．Making use of body language．
D．Observing his facial expression．
27．What will the author continue to talk about based on the passage？B．
A．Misunderstandings of catching a liar．
B．The"suspicious-signs"method．
C．How the CCE method works．
D．The new concept of CCE．

Answer 1

分析 长期以来，传统的测谎方式是观察肢体语言包括面部表情．本文谈的话题是"如何测谎"？

解答 ACBB
24．A推理判断题．根据第二段的问题What if the person appears to be nervous？Is the person unable to look me in the eye？Is he or she look around the room？What about other nervous movements，such as fidgeting（坐立不安）or shifting from side to side？Many people-from parents to police officers and airport security personnel-depend on this method．But does a person's body and face reveal the truth？Not according to a new study．如果这个人表现的很紧张？不能直视我的眼睛？到处看四周？以及其他紧张举动，比如坐立不安，到处走来走去？大部分人，从家长、警察到机场安全人员，都是依赖这种方法鉴别说谎．但是身体语言透露出的信息又能在多大程度上反映事实的真相呢？最新调查显示，这其实毫无依据．可知此段在展示传统的辨认说谎者的方法．故选A．
25．C细节理解题．根据第四段第一句The researchers asked volunteers to pretend they were real passengers and then lie to airport security agents．研究人员要求志愿者假装自己是真的乘客，向机场工作人员撒谎．可知C项符合题意．
26．B细节理解题．根据第四段最后三句The study found that these conversation-based techniques can help you recognize when a person is lying to you．Like many methods，this conversation method has a name．It is called Controlled Cognitive Engagement or CCE，for short．研究表明，谈话技能有利于识别谎言．和其他方法一样，这些对话交流也有专业名词，叫做控制认知参与，或者CCE．可知B项符合题意．
27．B细节理解题．根据最后一段Thomas Ormerod is the head of the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex in England．On the APA website，he reported that the"suspicious-signs method"-or using body language-"almost completely fails"in finding lies．Thomas是英国苏塞克斯大学心理学院院长．在APA网站上，他表示"身体语言测谎有效性值得怀疑．"

点评 事实询问题，这类试题通常以疑问词what/who/when/where/why/how引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问．解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源．同时要注意题目和文章中的暗示作用，特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息．比如第26小题，B细节理解题．根据第四段最后三句The study found that these conversation-based techniques can help you recognize when a person is lying to you．Like many methods，this conversation method has a name．It is called Controlled Cognitive Engagement or CCE，for short．研究表明，谈话技能有利于识别谎言．和其他方法一样，这些对话交流也有专业名词，叫做控制认知参与，或者CCE．可知B项符合题意．
