1、Text 1"The love of money",St Paul memorably wrote to his protege Timothy,"is the root of all evil.""All"may be putting it a bit strongly,but dozens of psychological studies have indeed shown that people primed to think about money before an experiment are more likely to lie,cheat and steal during the course of that experiment.Another well-known aphorism,ascribed to Benjamin Franklin,is"time is money".If true,that suggests a syllogism:that the love of time is a root of evil,too.But a paperjust published in Psychological Science by Francesca Gino of Harvard and Cassie Mogilner of the University of Pennsylvania suggests precisely the opposite.Dr Gino and Dr Mogilner asked a group of volunteers to do a scries of what appeared to be aptitude tests.As is ofien the case in such experiments,though,what the voiunteers were told.and what the truth was,were rather different things.In the first test they were asked to make,within three minutes,as many coherent sentences as they could out of a set ofwords they had been presented with.What they were not told was that each of them had been assigned to one of three groups.Some volunteers'word sets were seeded with ones associated with money,such as"dollars","financing"and"spend".Some were seeded with words associated with time(eg,"clock",/'hours","moment").And some were seeded with neither.Thus unknowingly primed,the volunteers were ready for the second test.This was mathematical.They were given a sheet of paper with 20 matrices which each contained 12 numbers.two of which added up to ten(for example,3.81 and 6.19).They had to write down,on a separate answer sheet,how many of these pairs they could manage to find in five minutes.They were also given a packet ofmoney and told they could reward themselves with a dollar for each pair they discovered.This led Dr Gino and Dr Mogilner to suspect that self-reflection played a part in controlling uncthical behaviour during the test.They therefore conducted a third test in which,for half the volunteers,there was a mirror in the cubicle they were sitting in when doing the experiment.Volunteers primed to think about money cheated 39%of the time when a mirror was present but 67%when it was not.Those primed to think about time cheated 32%of the time in the presence of the mirror and 36%in its absence-results that are statistically indistinguishable.Finally,a fourth experiment asked primed volunteers to fill in a questionnaire before tackling the matrix.In among"filler"questions intended to disguise what was happening this asked them to rate how they felt about self-reflective statements like,"Right now,1 am thinking about who I am as a person."As in the previous tests,those primed with money words cheated more ofien than those primed with neutral words and far more ofien than those primed with time words.But whether someone cheated was also related to how strongly he felt about the self-reflective statements presented to him in the questionnaire.It seems,then,that thinking about time has the opposite effect on people from thinking about money.It makes them more honest than normal,rather than less so.Moreover,the more reflective they are,the more honest they become.There must be an aphorism in that. The author's attitude towards the conclusion of the experiment is——.

　　A disapproval

　　B suspicious

　　C supportive

　　D certain

　　答案：C  

　　答案解析：态度方向题。解决该题目的关键是要找到段落中作者态度的标志，最后一段是作者的最终结论，该段落表明时间观念与金钱观念对人们所产生的影响是截然不同的。由此可见，作者的态度是积极的，故C项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项disapproval“反对”、B项suspicious“怀疑”、D项certain“确定”都不能体现出作者支持的态度。

In the opening paragraph,the author introduces his topic by_____

　　A posing a contrast

　　B justifying a theory

　　C making a comparation

　　D illustrating a phenomenon

　　答案：A  

　　答案解析：事实细节题。此类题目在2005年真题中有涉及，题目译为：作者以什么样的方式引出话题。解决此类题目时，关键是通读段落找线索，纵观第一段，作者用正反两个例子来进行对比.A项posing a contrast“作对比”与此相对应。故A项为正确选项。【干扰排除】B项“证明一个理论”、C项“作比较”、D项“说明一种现象”都不能体现第一段中的信息，因此应当排除。

What can we infer from the tests?

　　A The subjects have been told their assignment

　　B Volunteers who had been primed with money ideas were more likely to cheat others.

　　C 12%volunteers had been primed with time-related words.

　　D 33%subjects had been primed with money-related words.

　　答案：B  

　　答案解析：推理判断题。根据题干中的信息对应文章的第二段，文中介绍了他们喜欢用一些金钱相关的词语，而第四段说“被灌输金钱思想的志愿者在面对镜子时有39%的时间都在作弊，但是如果不面对镜子，志愿者有67%的时间都在作弊。”所以B项Volunteers who had been primed with money ideas were more likely to cheat others.与此对应。故B项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项“受试者清楚自己的任务”，但是文中却说他们是被悄悄地安排，因此错误;c项与D项在段落的结尾处有对应，但是数字的运算是错误的，因此应当排除。

It can be concluded from the text that——.

　　A people primed with neutral words cheated more than those primed with money words

　　B self-refiection plays a significant role in people's decision making

　　C volunteers cheated was also related with whether a mirror in the cubicle they were sitting

　　D people primed with time words cheated most among the subjects

　　答案：B  

　　答案解析：推理判断题。题目没有体现具体的对应段落，但是conclude泽为“结论”，按照出题顺序的原则对应文章的第五段，其中In among“filler"questions intended to disguise what was happening this asked them to raic how they feh about self-reflective statements like(问卷上设有掩饰之前不光彩行为的“补充”问题，调查他们在看到门我反思表述语句时的感受)可以体现结论，B项self-refiection plays a significant roleIn people's decision making“自我反省在人们的决策中扮演着重要的角色”与此相对应。故B项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项巾的比较与原文刚好相反，因此应当排除;c项在定位的段落中并没有体现，因此应当排除;D项在结论的段落中有体现，但是段落中说被灌输金钱词语的志愿者作弊倾向最大，因此该选项排除。

The word"unethical"(Para.4)is closest in meaning to_____

　　A informal

　　B nontraditional

　　C non-mainstream

　　D immoral

　　答案：D  

　　答案解析：词汇理解题。解答此题目的关键是通读对应段落后仔细分析上下文，适当地找到同性词，该段落的上文是谈第一个测试的结果，都是与欺骗有关，而考查单词的段落则是进一步说明欺骗的内容，因此考查的词汇应当与欺骗有关，D项Immoral“不道德的”与此相对应，故D项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项informal“非正式的”、B项“非传统的”和C项non-mainstream“非主流的”，都与欺骗无关，因此应当排除。
