Some people measured(测量) things using the size of their king’s foot or hand. When the king died, they used the new king’s foot, and so on. This wasn’t a very good way to measure things, because it wasn’t always clear how big or small a thing really was.‎ People all over the world used the sun and the moon to measure time. However, they all had different numbers of days in a week and different numbers of hours in a day.‎ In 1584, a scientist called Simon Stevenius started to think about a set of measures which used the number ten, but no one was interested in his ideas. About two hundred years later, a group of scientists in France decided to use his ideas. They thought of ways to measure everything using ten. Some of their ideas weren’t popular. One was a new clock which had ten hours a day. The other was a new calendar which had ten days a week.‎ The scientists agreed to use meters to measure length and they worked out how long a meter should be. Then they decided to call one hundredth of a meter a centimeter and a thousand meters a kilometer.‎ ‎56. People didn’t use the size of their king’s foot or hand to measure things because ________.‎ ‎ A. the kings would die ‎ ‎ B. the king’s foot or hand wasn’t big or small ‎ C. it was unclear how big or small a thing really was ‎ D. it wasn’t clear what the weight of a thing was ‎57. People all over the world used the number ten to measure things _______. ‎ ‎ A. in 1584 B. in the 1780s C. about 200 years ago D. about 200 years later ‎58. According to the passage, which sentence is right?‎ ‎ A. People all over the world used the Sun and the Moon to measure things.‎ ‎ B. Some things can’t be measured using the number ten, such as a clock or a calendar.‎ ‎ C. Thousands of years ago, people in the world used the same way to measure things.‎ ‎ D. Scientists decided to use grams to measure length.‎ ‎59. The scientists decided to call ______ of a metre a centimere?‎ ‎ A. 1/100 B. 100th C. 100 D. 100 times ‎60. Which is the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. The way to measure things B. The way to measure time ‎ C. The way to measure weight D. The way to measure speed ‎ 答案：‎ ‎56-60 CBBAA B Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!‎ Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.‎ In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.‎ For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren‟t. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they weren‟t.‎ Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they‟re being stared at. If people doubt the of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”‎ ‎61. What‟s the aim of the two experiments for?‎ A. Prove why humans have a sixth sense.‎ B. Explain when people can have a sixth sense.‎ C. Show how people act while being watched in the lab.‎ D. Study whether humans can sense when they are stared at.‎ ‎62. What sense does Parapsychologists say that humans have to?‎ A. A natural ability. B. A natural staring ability.‎ C. A strange thinking. D. A looking feeling.‎ ‎63. The underlined word “outcome” in the last paragraph most probably means ________.‎ A. value B. result C. performance D. connection ‎64. In the second experiment, the subjects _________.‎ A. could tell when they were stared at and when they weren‟t.‎ B. couldn‟t tell when they were stared at or when they weren‟t.‎ C. couldn‟t tell when they were stared at but could tell when they weren‟t D. could tell when they were stared at but couldn‟t tell when they weren‟t.‎ ‎65. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. People are born with a sixth sense.‎ B. The experiments support parapsychologists‟ idea.‎ C. The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.‎ D. People have a sixth sense in all places.‎ 答案：‎ ‎61-65 DABBC ‎ 英语练习3‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ A 三、完型填空 （共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎ China is making a plan to put astronauts on the Moon in about 15 years.
