Passage 1
Pupil Size and Communication  It has already been well established that changes in pupil size are clearly associated with changes in attitude. In a typical example, when viewing photographs of food, hungry subjects experience a much greater increase in pupil diameter than do sated subjects (see figure 1). However it now appears that enlarged or constricted pupils can also affect the response of the person who observed them.
  FIGURE 1
  DIFFERENCES IN PUPIL RESPONSE of hungry subjects and of sated subjects to color slides of various foods is shown. The subjects first viewed a control slide, then a slide of a food and the change in pupil size was measured.

  Studies of the pupil as an indicator of attitude point to the possibility that one person uses another person’s pupil size as a source of information about that person’s feelings or attitudes. In one experiment two photographs of an attractive young woman were shown to a group of men. The photographs were identical except that in one the woman’s pupils had been retouched to make them larger and in the other they had been retouched to make them smaller. None of the men reported noticing the difference in pupil size, but when they were asked to describe the woman, they said that the women in the picture with the large pupils was “soft”, “more feminine” or “pretty”. The same woman in the picture with the small pupils was described as being “hard”, “selfish” or “cold”. There could be little doubt that the large pupils made the woman more attractive to the men.
  It seems that what is appealing about large pupils in a woman is that they are an indicator of interest, which can be interpreted as sexual interest. However, when men view a picture of a woman with large pupils, their own pupils dilate. In other words, seeing large pupils gives rise to larger pupils. Interestingly, men and women showed almost no increase in pupil size when viewing photographs of members of the same sex with dilated pupils.
  That the dilation response is in fact learned rather than innate is supported by experiments with children. In one experiment, subjects aged 6 to 22 were shown drawings of female faces that had different sized pupils, and asked to choose the one which was “happier”.
  The results showed that, up to the age of 14, a person does not necessarily perceive larger pupils as being happier than smaller pupils (see figure 2).
  FIGURE 2
  Age differences in perceiving a face with large pupils as being happier than a face with small pupils

  Of particular interest was another finding by McLean: blue-eyed subjects were more likely to judge large pupils as being happy and than brown-eyed subjects. This finding was confirmed when another group of subjects were asked to fill in the pupils on drawings of happy faces and angry ones: the blue-eyed subjects drew larger “happy” pupils and smaller “angry” pupils than the brown-eyed subjects (see figure 3).
  FIGURE 3
  BLUE-EYED SUBJECTS drew larger pupils on a sketch of a happy face and smaller pupils on a scowling face than brown-eyed subjects. In addition, when viewing a picture that normally causes dilation or constriction, blue-eyed people show a greater change in pupil size.

  Blue-eyed people have also been found to have a stronger pupil response than brown-eyed people when they view a picture that causes pupil dilation or constriction. To be more precise, with respect to the total range of response from the smallest pupil size to the largest, the range is greater for blue-eyed people than it is for brown-eyed people.
  Based on the information in Reading Passage 3, “Pupil Size and Communication”, indicate the relationship between each of the two measures listed below in terms of:
  PC.    if there is a positive correlation
  L/N    if there is little or no correlation
  NI    if there is no information
  Write your answers (PC, L/N, NI) in boxes 1-8 on your answer sheet.
  MEASURE 1               MEASURE 2
  1. Changes in pupil size         Changes in attitude
  2. Images of food            Pupil dilation in hungry subjects
  3. Small pupil size in picture of woman   Negative response in male subject
  4. Pupil dilation in picture of woman    Pupil dilation in male subject
  5. Pupil dilation in picture of woman    Pupil dilation in female subject
  6. Small pupil size in picture of woman   Negative response in female subject
  7. Subjects under 14 years of age      Positive response to large pupils
  8. Darkness of eye color in photograph   Subject’s estimate of “happiness”

正确答案
1.PC 本题问瞳孔大小与态度变化的关系。由题干关键词Changes in attitude可以定位到原文第一段的第一句“It has already been well established that changes in pupil size are clearly associated with changes in attitude”, 可知瞳孔的尺寸变化与态度变化明显有关,故本题答案为PC。
2.PC 本题考查食物图片与饥饿受试者瞳孔扩张之间的关系。由题干关键词Images of food可定位到原文第一段的第二句“In a typical example, when viewing photographs of food, hungry subjects experience a much greater increase in pupil diameter than do sated subjects”,可知食物图片与饥饿受试者瞳孔扩张有正相关,故本题答案为PC。
3.PC 本题考查女士瞳孔小与男士对其的消极评价之间的关系。由题干关键词Small pupil size in picture of woman可以定位到原文的第二段The same woman in the picture with the small pupils was described as being “hard”, “selfish” or “cold”, 即虽然是同一女士,瞳孔小的时候,他们(男士)却用“严厉”、“自私”或者“冷酷”来形容,可知两者正相关,故本题答案为PC。
4.PC 本题是问女士瞳孔扩张时男士看到他们瞳孔是否也会扩张。由题干关键词Pupil dilation in picture of woman和Pupil dilation in male subject可以定位到原文第三段,由“However, when men view a picture of a woman with large pupils, their own pupils dilate. In other words, seeing large pupils gives rise to larger pupils”, 即看到大瞳孔能够使瞳孔变大,可知两者正相关,故本题答案为PC。
5.L/N 本题考查女士在看到照片中大瞳孔的女士时自己的瞳孔是否会扩张。根据原文第三段的最后一句话“Interestingly, men and women showed almost no increase in pupil size when viewing photographs of members of the same sex with dilated pupils”, 由此可知在观察同性的瞳孔增大的图片时,几乎没有增加瞳孔尺寸的现象,故本题答案为L/N。
6.NI 本题考查观察同性照片中瞳孔变小时,女士是否会有消极评价。根据原文第三段的最后一句:无论是男人还是女人,在观察同性的瞳孔增大的图片时,几乎没有增加瞳孔尺寸的现象。而本题说的是照片中小的瞳孔,原文中没有提及这方面的内容,故本题答案为NI。
7.L/N 本题考查14岁以下的儿童是否会对大瞳孔有积极反应。由题干关键词under l 4 years of age可定位到原文第四段,“The results showed that, up to the age of l 4, a person does not necessarily perceive larger pupils as being happier than smaller pupils”,表明14岁以下的儿童不会讲大瞳孔理解为更开心的反应,即不会对大瞳孔有积极反应,故本题答案为L/N。
8.NI 由题干关键词color可以定位到原文的最后两段,原文说的是实验对象(就是看照片 的人)的瞳孔颜色对图片反应不同,而题干说的是照片中瞳孔的颜色,故本题答案为NI。
