17、might be even more intertwined than previously thought. Studies suggest that words and images are 1 coupled. What is not clear, says Gary Lupyan of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, is whether language and 2 work together to help you 3 what you“re seeing, or whether words can actually change w
18、hat you see. Lupyan and Emily Ward of Yale University used a technique called continuous flash suppression (CFS) on 20 volunteers to test whether a spoken prompt could make them detect an image that they were not 4 aware they were seeing. CFS works by 5 different images to the right and left eyes: o
19、ne eye might be shown a simple shape or an animal, 6 the other is shown visual “noise“. The noise monopolizes (垄断) the brain, leaving so little processing power for the other image, making it 7 . In a similar experiment, the team found that volunteers were more likely to detect specific 8 if asked a
20、bout them. For example, asking “Do you see a square?“ made it more likely than that they would see a hidden 9 but not a hidden circle. James McClelland of Stanford University in California, who was not 10 in the work, thinks it is an important study. It suggests that sight and language are intertwin

You“re a smart, attractive person. So you wouldn“t
22、be surprised if one of your friends got the hots (迷恋) for you and then started acting all kinds of crazy. Your love-struck friend will wonder if you feel the same way, and will probably dream up subtle tests to find out. They could save themselves some effort by quickly surveying the scientific lite
23、rature, though, because they will almost certainly be following one of seven well-trodden paths. B. In a classic study led by Leslie Baxter at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, and William Wilmot at the University of Montana, Missoula, a team of researchers interviewed 90 undergraduate st
24、udents about their relationships with people of the opposite sex. The interviewees admitted to a total of 158 “calculated acquisition strategies“or secret tests that they hoped would reveal how a fancied friend felt about them. Many of the tests were pretty similar, so Baxter and Wilmot were able to
25、 boil them down to just seven categories. Read on to see how infuriating, and downright calculating, friends can become in the pursuit of a relationship upgrade. 1. Endurance C. This is most common type of test. In this category, the love-struck friend does their best to test the other person“s feel
26、ings by fishing for compliments or demanding helpespecially if it comes at a cost to the other. A classic endurance strategy is the self-put-down. As one respondent recalled: “He was really getting down on himself, saying he wasn“t a very capable or nice person. He said it to get me to compliment hi
27、m and verbalize how much I thought of him.“ D. Another type of endurance test is called forced choice, in which your friend wants to see if you will drop everything for them. “She came to where I work out and said that she was really depressed but didn“t want to bother me,“ said one man in his inter
28、view. “She really wanted to see if I would stop what I was doing and show my concern, indicating how much I care for her.“ E. Finally, enamored (迷恋) friends will behave like spoiled brats (小孩), pushing their friend“s buttons to see how much mistreatment they will put up with without complainingwill
29、you still like them even when they“re being a pain? 2. Triangulation F. The second most popular type of test was dubbed the triangle; because it relies on the age-old saying “three“s a crowd“. Some people engineer “fidelity checks“, especially if the relationship has already strayed beyond the plato
30、nic (柏拉图式). One of the interviewees wanted to test if her boyfriend was as keen as she was. “I would intentionally leave him alone with my room-mate and then ask him when I returned “what have the two of you been up to?“ If he acted uncomfortable, I would know that he wasn“t faithfulor at least that
31、 he was thinking about being unfaithful to me.“ G. Others employ jealousy tests: “I tested her limits by going out with other women and making sure that she found out about it. I wanted to know what kind of relationship commitment she wanted,“ said one man. 3. Hint H. Then there are the indirect sug
32、gestion tests: joking about serious feelings, hinting or getting increasingly intimate with bodily contact. “When we were just becoming romantic, he kept getting more and more bold with his touchingfirst his arm around my shoulder, then moving in real close, etc. He was waiting to see if I would tel
33、l him when to stop as a sign of how much I liked him,“ said one interviewee. 4. Miss me? I. Distance is supposed to make the heart grow fonder, and indeed physical separation is a common test. One respondent admitted: “To see if our relationship was really strong I tested it. by going overseas for a
34、 few months.“ J. If you have felt like you didn“t want to be the first to call, you could be using another separation test called initiation induction. “When I returned from Switzerland, he didn“t call me even though he knew exactly when I was returning. He wanted to see if I still felt the same way
35、 about him by calling him first,“ one woman recalls. 5. Heart to heart K. The directness test is really the opposite of a secret strategy. Far more popular with men than women, it involves either asking a person straight out how they feel. L. You can also speak openly about yourself in the hope your
36、 love interest will too. “I was having trouble getting him to open up to me about his family and his background,“ one woman said, “so I started talking about my folks and sisters, hoping that he would reciprocate (互换) and tell me about himself as a sign that he trusted me and wanted me to know more
37、about him.“ 6. Inside information M. Ever tried to find out from someone“s friends whether they might have a crush on you? Then you have employed what Baxter and Wilmot aptly call asking third party tests. It might sound like playground behaviors, but grown-ups do it too. 7. Hijacking N. Most cringe
38、worthy (令人不舒服的) of all are public presentation tests, which basically involve backing your friend into a corner, in public. As one woman put it, “I intentionally introduced him as my boyfriend to my best friend who came to visit and then watched how he reactedyou know, did he seem embarrassed?“ O. I
39、t is probably a good thing these tests are the least common of all. If you“re on the receiving end, while waiting for the ground to swallow you up, this might be the moment when you see your friend in a whole new lightjust not the way they hoped.（分数：71.00）(1).In order to test other person“s patience
40、 and feeling for you, you can deliberately ask him/her to say some praise words.（分数：7.10）(2).Seven categories are used to help you test the feeling of a fancied friend about you.（分数：7.10）(3).You can use asking third party tests to know whether the person fell violently in love with you.（分数：7.10）(4).
41、Whether he can stop what he is doing and show his concern for you may indicate how much he care for you in a certain degree.（分数：7.10）(5).You can also try to use some indirect ways to test whether he might have a crush on you.（分数：7.10）(6).Some people design a test to check the loyalty especially if t
42、he relationship has deviated from their ideal mode.（分数：7.10）(7).Separation test can be used to test whether the relationship is really strong.（分数：7.10）(8).Directness test are popular with men, who prefer to ask a person straightly.（分数：7.10）(9).Some people may take the initiative to say their own sto
43、ry in order to get other people to open up to them.（分数：7.10）(10).Besides self-put-down, forced choice is another way to test endurance.（分数：7.10）十二、Section C(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十三、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：71.00)Cleaning up our air may have made us healthier. A new analysis shows that the number of storms fall
44、s when pollution rises, and increases when pollution drops. Further tightening of present pollution controls “could reduce aerosols (气溶胶；悬浮颗粒) so quickly that we have record numbers of tropical storms for the next decade or two“, says Nick Dunstone of the Met Office Hadley Centre in Exeter, UK. Earl
45、ier studies found no connection between storm numbers and aerosols“ ability to cool the surface by scattering light in the open air. But aerosols also increase the brightness and lifetime of low-level marine clouds. When Nick Dunstone of the Met Office Hadley Centre in Exeter, UK, added this effect
46、into his climate models, the simulated clouds cooled the surface more than expected. Historically, this cooling effect has been strongest in the north Atlantic. Cooling the north Atlantic reduces the energy available to power hurricanes. It also shifts rising and falling air currents further south,
47、increasing wind shear in the Atlantic hurricane nursery. This extra wind shear tears nascent storms apart before they can gain strength. In this way, Dunstone says, changes in aerosol emissions appear to drive cyclical variations in north Atlantic tropical storms. These variations have long been att
48、ributed to natural variations in ocean circulation. Throughout the 20th century, aerosol emissions increased with industrialization and decreased in economic slumps. Tropical storms were frequent from the 1930s through to the 1950s, but rarer in the better economic times of the 1960s to mid-1990s. T
49、hen pollution controls reduced aerosol levels, and Atlantic hurricanes came roaring back, with 19 in 1995, a record 28 in 2005, and 19 in each of the past three years. Dunstone expects the increase to continue for another two decades. After that, global warming may begin to reduce the number of tropical storms, by warming the air and thus reducing the temperature difference between the sea surface and the atmosphere. It is not clear whether aerosols affect the intensity of storms.（分数：71.00
