**Reading Passage 1, Questions 31-40** 31.Involved a person acting as a ______ 答案：sender 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是第3段第3句“The idea was that a person…”。由空格前冠词和空格后的定语从句引导词 who 可知本题需填入一个指代人的单数可数名词。通过题目中数字 1982 迅速定位至文章第三段。再通过数字 four 定位至该段第 5 行。本题答案为 sender。 32.who picked out one ______ from a random selction of four,... 答案：picture/image 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是第3段第2句“In early ganzfeld experiments…”。此题轻微乱序，但定位词很明显且定位句是上一题定位句的前一句。空格所填词应为从random selections of four中picked out的宾语。所以此题填picture/image。题干中的picked out与原文中的chosen from属于同义转述。 33.and a ______ who then tired to identify it. 答案：receiver 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是第3段第4句“Once the session was over, this …”。此题定位较易。空格所填词应为 identify这一动作的发出者，定位句中与之相对应的是指代词this person,于是倒着往回看上一句，即第31题对应句，可以找出this person的具体指代对象。所以此题填receiver。 34&35.Positive results could be produced by factors such as ______ and ______ 答案：sensory leakage;outright fraud 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是第4段第4句“...there were many other ways of getting positive results. These ranged from ‘sensory leakage…”。此题根据定位词及顺序原则可定位至第四段第四行最后，其中many other ways对应题干中的factors，具体内容在接下来的一句中。所以此题填sensory leakage。 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是第4段第4句““...there were many other ways of getting positive results. These ranged from ‘sensory leakage…”。此空与34题为并列关系。很明显答案为 outright fraud。 36.______ were used for key tasks to limit the amount of 答案：computers 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是第5段第1句“…technique which used computers to …”。空格所填词应为被用来完成key tasks的对象，文中的perform对应题干中的were used for。所以此题填computers。 37.amount of ______ in carrying out the tests. 答案：human involvement 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是第5段第2句“By minimising human involvement...”。此题按照顺序原则定位，原文中的 minimising对应题干中的limit,空格所填词应为被限制的对象。所以此题填human involvement。 38.The results were then subjected to a ______ 答案：meta-analysis 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是第5段倒数第2句“In 1987, results from hundreds…”。空格所填词应为 subject to的对象。所以此题填meta-analysis。 39.The ______ between different test results was put down to the fact that sample 答案：lack of consistency 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是第6段第1句“Yet some parapsychologists…”。此题定位较难，文中的individual ganzfeld studies与题干中的different test对应。空格所填词应为不同实验结果之间的关系。所以此题填lack of consistency。 40.sample groups were not ______ (as with most ganzfeld studies). 答案：big/large enough 题目解析：本题对应的文章内容是第6段倒数第3句“...the group is just not big enough.”。此题定位较易。空格所填词应为 sample groups的特征，而且此题可以通过否定词not帮助判断答案。所以此题填big/large enough。
