Dr. Gray and Dr. Wegner did not actually step on people's toes as part of their experiments. But they did arrange for them to receive electric shocks. Altogether, they induced a group of 43 students to participate with offers of academic credits or, failing that, cold cash.
On the day of the experiment, each participant was introduced to a study partner, whom he was told was another student participant but who was in fact an assistant of the two researchers. The students were then told about a number of tasks, which included matching colors, estimating numbers, judging musical pitches (音调) and assessing levels of discomfort. They were later asked to perform. each of these tasks during a series of trials.
In truth, Dr. Gray and Dr. Wegner were interested only in the assessments of discomfort; the rest were mere blinds. In this task, a participant received an electric shock and was asked to evaluate the experience on a scale ranging from one (not at all uncomfortable) to seven (extremely uncomfortable).
During each trial, the participant saw a computer screen which displayed two potential tasks for that session. When assessing discomfort was one of these, the other was always evaluating the relative pitches of two tones. In this, as in the other trials, the participant was told that his partner in the next room would select which task he had to complete.
In fact, participants received an electric shock whenever assessment discomfort was one of the options displayed. But how they thought it had been administered had a crucial effect on their sense of pain. Half the time, the participants were told that their partner had chosen to shock them. The other half they were told that their partner had chosen not to shock them, but that the experimental plan meant this decision had been reversed.
On the one-to-seven scale that Dr. Gray and Dr. Wagner asked the participants to use to assess their pain, the students rated the strength of shocks they thought had been intentionally administered at 3.62, on average; those they thought unintentional averaged 3.00. The researchers also found the apparently unintentional shocks hurt progressively less as the experiment went on, whereas those perceived as deliberate continued to hurt as much.
It would seem, therefore, that malice not only carries a sting of its own. Compared with accidental pain, the sting also lasts longer.
What is the main purpose for Dr. Gray and Dr. Wegner to conduct the experiment？
A．To study whether the deliberate hurt hurts more.
B．To let people know deliberately hurting people is evil.
C．To study the phenomenon of stepping on people.
D．To offer students academic credits.

听力原文： Today I would like to talk about the early days of movie making in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Before the pioneering films of D. W. Griffith, film makers were limited by several misguided conventions of the era. According to one, the camera was always fixed at the viewpoint corresponding to that of the spectator in a theater, a position now known as the long shot. It was another convention that the position of the camera never changed in the middle of a scene. In last week's films we saw how Griffith ignored both these limiting conventions and brought the camera closer to the actor. This shot, now known as a full shot, was considered revolutionary at the time, for the Love of Cold was the name of the film in which we saw the first use of the full shot. After progressing from the long shot to the full shot, the next logical step for Griffith was to bring in the camera still closer, in what is now called the close-up. The close-up had been used before, though only rarely and merely as a visual stunt, as for example in Edwin S. Poter's The Great Train Robbery which was made in 1903. But not until 1908, in Griffith's movie called After Many Years was the dramatic potential of the close-up first exploited. In the scene from After Many Years that we're about to see, pay special attention to the close-up of Annie Lee's worried face as she awaits her husband's return. In 1908 this close-up shocked everyone in the Biograph Studio. But Griffith had no time for argument. He had another surprise even more radical to offer. Immediately following the close-up of Annie he inserted a picture of the object of her thoughts, her husband cast away on a desert isle. This cutting from one scene to another without finishing either of them brought a torrent of criticism on the experimenter.

第10题
听力原文： The term "culture shock" has appeared in the popular vocabulary. Culture shock is the effect that immersion in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Peace Corps volunteers suffer from it in Borneo or Brazil. Macro Polo probably suffered from it in China. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where "yes" may mean "no", where a "fixed price" is negotiable, where laughter may signify anger. It is what happens when the familiar psychological cues that help an individual to function in society are suddenly withdrawn and replaced by new ones that are strange or incomprehensible.
The culture shock phenomenon explains much of the bewilderment, frustration, and disorientation that plagues people in their dealing with other societies. It causes a breakdown in communication, a misunderstanding of reality, an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more serious disease--future shock. Future shock is the frightening disorientation brought on by the premature arrival of the future. It may well be the most serious disease of tomorrow.
Future shock is a time phenomenon, a product of the greatly accelerated rate of change in society. It arises from the imposition of a new culture on an old one. It is culture shock in one's own society. But its impact is far worse. For the traveler can at last turn back to his own familiar culture, but the victim of future shock can not.
(30)
A．Because future shock is caused by greatly accelerated rate of change.
B．Because future shock can not be predicated.
C．Because future shock prevent people from returning to a more familiar culture.
D．Because future shock can't be explained in words.
