The best way to come first is to go last.An analysis of almost 50 years of competitions--including Eurovision Song Contests and world skating championships--has found that contestants are more likely to win if they are among the last to appear before the judges.

 The study by an American university appears to provide scientific proof(证据)that the best man,or woman,does not always win.

 It found that。on average,the last competitor to appear in the Eurovision Song Contest was more than twice as likely to win as the one who went on first.

 The first rounds of figure-skating championships,for which the running order is selected at random,showed more dramatic results.The final skater had a 1 4 per cent chance of victory,making him or her more than four times as likely to win as the first skater.

The study showed a gradual worsening of chances for competitors who appeared earlier in the running order.A contestant who appears first in a contest is two per cent less likely to win than one who appears second.A contestant who appears second is two per cent less likely to win than one who appears third,and so on。

 The findings are published in the March issue of Acta Psychologica,a scientific journal.

 Robert Hardman,a senior lecturer in psychology at London Metropolitan University who specializes in the science of decision-making,said that the results were interesting。He suggested that the effect was caused by the limitations of the human memory.

“When people make comparisons;they aren’t really able to make a lot of fine-grade discrimination.When contestants appear at the beginning of a contest, judges have little to compare them to and are perhaps wary(谨慎的)of the scores they give,” he said.

“Later on,when judges are able t0 compare the contestants to those that have gone before,

they might give more extreme marks because they feel more confident about their judgments.”

11.Robert Hardman’s words mainly tell about his       .

A.own achievement in the research

B.explanation for the findings

C.suggestion to solve the problem

D.comments on the findings

12 The first skater in the first round of figure skating championships had a        percent chance of winning.

A.two    B.three    C.four        D.six                         

13.According to the study,the best competitor does not always win possibly because he/she

_______.

 A.fails to show his/her very best

B.is mistakenly put in the running order

C.meets with unfair judges

D.appears too early before the judges

14.Judging from the context,the underlined word  “worsening” in the 5th paragraph should mean        .

A.decrease in number

B.increase in degree

C.reduction in possibility

D.rising in quantity

15. What may be a problem with the judges according to the article?

A.They can’t remember things well enough.

B.They believe the first is seldom the best.

C.They don’t really know what is good.

D.They show favor towards the contestants they like.

It’s hard to believe that before 1985, people in Britain didn’t use mobile phones. That was the year when the first mobile phone company began operation in the UK, although in other parts of Europe mobiles had been used for several years.
Early mobiles were much larger than they are today. Some of them weighed about 5 kg and the owners had to pay several thousand pounds for them. By the beginning of the 1990s, companies in the UK had updated their mobile phones so they were more like the mobiles used all over Europe. Those phones weighed about 500g, and the batteries lasted longer,whereas before they had lasted for only one hour’s talk-time.
Nowadays, some of our mobiles weigh as little as 50g and have a talk-time of up to five hours and a battery life of up to 10 days. About 80% of UK adults now own a mobile phone, and there are now almost 50 million mobile phone users in the UK.
Nobody had ever expected mobile phones to become so popular. One huge surprise was the increase in the use of text messages. Twenty years ago, people didn’t hear of “texting”. Now, over one billion text messages are sent every month in the UK. People are also using their mobile phones as music centers, as personal organizers and to surf the Internet.
Mobile phones are developing all the time and people are predicting that soon nobody will want to leave his house without one in his pocket. Mobile phones will no longer be just useful, but necessary for people in the UK.
41. What is the main idea of the passage?

While learning the science lessonsI used to get a doubt—why earnosetongue and eyes should be called as special sensesThe basic reason is that these are the channels through which we maintain contact with the surroundings.Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organsthey do show some connectivity.Interestinglyour hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food.Isn’t it good for a sound nap after a stomach?full mealThat does not mean we go deaf after a mealbut the hearing pitch(强度) does change after a heavy meal.

We usually give credit of the taste to our tonguebut do you know that unless saliva(唾液) dissolves somethingour tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten.Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds present on the tongue.Try_to_dry_off_your_tongue_and_mouth_with_a_tissue_paper_and_then_taste_something.

Women are much better smellers than men.They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly pinpoint the exact fragrance of the sample.We all can store almost 50,000 different scents(气味)which are strongly tied to the memories.

Pupils(瞳孔) do not respond to light alonebut to the slightest bit of noise around too.Thus surgeonswatchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a sound?free environment.Even a small noise can dilate(扩大) their pupilschange the focus and blur(使模糊) their vision.If you do not wear glasses or contact lens due to having a 6/6 visionyou are just among the one third of the human population.It is now statistically proved that only one third of the population has perfect visionrest all are either wearing glasses or are trying to read with a compromised vision.

Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smellwhich is unique to usexcept for the identical twins.This smell is very subtle(微妙的) yet can be sensed even by a newborn.It may be due to this scent that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around.Many of us can pinpoint the smell of our significant friends and colleagues.A significant part of this phenomenon is guided by genetics but it is also modified by the environmentdiet and personal hygiene.This all together creates the unique chemistry that is individualistic for each person.

1.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.

Aafter a full meal our hearing is as good as before

Ball sensory organs are connected and can be exchanged

Csensory organs’ functions can never be changed for their particular character

Dwe feel and learn about the world around us through our eyesearsnose and tongue

2.What is the text mainly about?

AThe functions of sensory organs.

BThe connectivity of sensory organs.

CA newborn’s senses of the sensory organs.

DThe differences of senses between women and men.

3.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?

AOur tongues can’t be dried while eating something.

BIf your tongue is dried without any saliva on itit will not work.

CA tissue paper is the only thing that can be used to dry our tongues.

DIf your tongue is dried with a tissue paperit may work as well as before.

We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects (缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things   31  !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe   32  .

These comments may come from stories about us that have been   33   for years—often from   34   childhood. These stories may have no   35  in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life.” How did these expectations  36   my development? I was never   37   to work on cars or be around    38  . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!

Six years later,   39  , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. On the positive side, I   40   down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On the   41   side, I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills.”

Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life   42   and told him about my   43   performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “  44   is it that you can solve    45   mathematical problems, but you can’t solve simple mechanical problems?”

Suddenly I realized that I didn’t  46   from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to  47 . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been  48   my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true.   49  , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have incurable genetic defects, we can do well in almost   50   we choose.
