People Think Meals Taste Better If They Are Expensive

It is said that there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but even if you manage to bag a bargain meal, it

will not taste as good as a more expensive meal, according to scientists.

A new study has found that restaurant

31

who pay more for their meals think the food is tastier

than if it is offered for a smaller price. The experts think that people tend to associate cost with quality and

this changes their

32

of how food tastes.

Scientists

at

Cornell

University

in

New

York

studied

the

eating

habits

of

139

people

enjoying

an

Italian

buffet

(

自助餐

) in a restaurant. The price of the food was set by the

33

at either $$4 or $$8 for

the all-you-can-eat meal. Customers were asked to

34

how good the food tasted, the quality of the

restaurant and to leave their names.

The experiment

35

that the people who paid $$8 for the food enjoyed their meal 11 percent more

than those who ate the “cheaper” b

uffet. Interestingly those that paid for the $$4 buffet said they felt guiltier

about loading up their plates and felt that they

36

. However, the scientists said that both groups ate

around

the

same

quantity

of

food

in

total,

according

to

the

study

37

at

the

Experimental

Biology

meeting this week.

Brian Wansink, a professor of

38

behaviour at the university, said: “We were fascinated to find

that

pricing

has

little

impact

on

how

much

one

eats,

but

a

huge

impact

on

how

you

39

the

experience.”

He thinks that people enjoyed their food more as they associated cost with quality and that

small changes to a restaurant can change how tasty people find their meals.

In a(n)

40

study, scientists from the university showed that people who eat in dim lighting

consume 175 less

calories

(

卡路里

) than people who eat in brightly lit areas.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions:

For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

How Climate Change

Affects Airline Flights

Hot weather has forced dozens of commercial flights to be canceled at airports in the Southwest this

summer. This flight-disturbing

41

is a warning sign. Climate change is projected to have far-reaching

42

—

including sea level rise flooding cities and shifting weather patterns causing long-term declines in

agricultural

production.

And

there

is

evidence

that

it

is

beginning

to

affect

the

takeoff

performance

of

commercial aircraft, with potential effects on airline

43

.

National and global transportation systems and the economic activity they support have been designed

for the climate in which it all developed. In the

aviation

(

航空

) industry, airports and aircraft are designed

for

the

weather

conditions

experienced

44

.

Because

the

climate

is

changing,

even

fundamental

elements like airports and key economic parts like air transportation may need to be

45

.

As

scientists

focused

on

the impacts

of

climate

change

and

extreme

weather on

human

society

and

natural

ecosystems

around

the

world,

our

research

has

quantified

how

extreme

heat

associated

with

our warming

climate

may

affect

46

around

the

world.

We’ve

found

that

major

airports

from

New

York to Dubai to Bangkok will see more frequent takeoff weight

47

in the coming decades due to

increasingly

common

hot

temperatures,

which

can

help

reduce

the

aircraft

’

s

weight

so

as

to

lower

its

required takeoff speed.

There is obvious evidence that extreme events such as heat waves and coastal flooding are happening

with greater frequency and intensity than just a few decades ago. And if we

48

to reduce greenhouse

gas

emissions

significantly

in

the

next

few

decades,

the

frequency

and

intensity

of

these

extremes

is

projected to increase dramatically.

The

49

on aviation may be widespread. Many airports are built near sea level, putting them at

risk

of

more

frequent

50

as

oceans

rise.

The

frequency

and

intensity

of

violent air

movement

may

increase in some regions due to strengthening

high- altitude

(

高海拔的

) winds. Stronger winds would force

airlines and pilots to change flight lengths and routings, potentially increasing fuel

51

.

Many departments of the economy, including the aviation industry, have yet to seriously

52

the

effects

of

climate

change.

The

sooner,

the

better:

Both

airport

construction

and

aircraft

design

take

decades, and have

53

effects. Today’s newest planes may well be flying in 40 or 50 years, and their

54

are

being

designed

now.

The

earlier

climate

impacts

are

understood

and

appreciated,

the

more

effective

and

less

costly

adaptations

can

be.

Those

adaptations

may

even

include

innovative

ways

to

dramatically reduce climate-altering emissions across the aviation industry, which would help reduce the

problem while also

55

it.

Flu

is

killing

us.

The

usual

response

to

the

annual

flu

is

not

enough

to

fight

against

the

risks

we

currently face, let alone prepare us for an even deadlier widespread flu that most experts agree will come in

the future. Yes, we have an annual

vaccine

(

疫苗

), and everyone qualified should get it without question.

The reality, however, is that less than half Americans get the flu vaccines. And the flu vaccines we have are

only 60% effective in the best years and 10% effective in the worst years. We urgently need a much more

effective flu vaccine.

In

the

U.S.

alone,

seasonal

flu

can

cause

up

to

36

million

infections,

three-quarters

of

a

million

hospitalizations

and

56,000

deaths.

We

are

not

investing

the

resources

needed

to

protect

ourselves,

our

loved ones and our communities.

Why

not?

We

haven’t

been

hit

by

a

tru

ly

destructive

widespread

disease

in

a

long

time.

So

as

individuals, we let down our guard as our leaders quietly defund and destaff the services we need to protect

us.

The

risk

of

continued

foot

dragging

is

huge.

In

a

severe

widespread

disease,

the

U.S.

health

care

system could be defeated in just weeks. Millions of people would be infected by the virus, and would die in

the weeks and months following the initial outbreak.

The cost of preventing

epidemics

(

流行病

) is roughly a tenth of what it costs to cope with them when

they hit. In 2012, a call was issued for an annual billion-dollar U.S. commitment to the development of a

universal flu vaccine. Six years later, the search for a universal vaccine remains seriously underfunded.

The

simple

reason

lies

in

our

collective

satisfaction.

As

soon

as

headlines

about

the

flu

are

gone,

hospitals

are

emptied

of

flu

patients,

and

school

and

workplace

absence

rates

decline,

we

go

back

to

business as usual.

Leading scientists and public health officials have the capability to keep us much safer from flu. They

need your quick and decisive support to succeed. Your action today may be a matter of life and death for

you and your loved ones.

56. The problem of the current flu vaccines is that _____.

A. they are not available every year

C. not everyone is qualified for them

B. most Americans are not allowed to get them

D. many people still catch flu after getting them

57

. What does the author mean by “

continued foot dragging

” in Paragraph 4?

A. Hospitals cannot meet the needs of patients during flu outbreaks.

B. The leaders continue to drag the feet of the patients infected with flu.

C. Individuals aren’t alert enough to the underinvestment in flu prevention.

D. Flu will certainly become a severe widespread disease in the near future.

58. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Science is currently not so developed as to keep us safer from flu.

B. The death rate from flu is much higher than that from other diseases.

C. The general public is partially to blame for the neglect of flu prevention.

D. Developing a universal flu vaccine will cost more than dealing with flu.

59. The author wrote the passage mainly to _____.

A. teach people more effective ways to fight against flu

B. call on people to take flu outbreaks far more seriously

C. encourage medical scientists to develop more flu vaccines

D. urge the government to publicize the risks of widespread flu

A portrait created by artificial intelligence, or AI, made a historic

appearance on the

auction

(

拍卖

) block at Christie’s in New York City

this

week.

It

is

the

first

artwork

created

by

an

algorithm

(

算法

)

to

be

offered for auction in the world of fine art.

The odd-looking painting of a fictitious man in a dark coat left the

auction block at Christie’s for $$432,500 on Oct. 25 in New York City.

The portrait

—designed in the “Old Master” style of European fine

artists from centuries ago

—

appears to represent a man with a vague face, dressed in clothing similar to that

worn by people painted by the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn in the 17th century.

Of course, a computer didn’t automatically pick up a brush and become an artist. The AI that created

the

image

had

human

programmers

—a

Parisian

art

collective

called

Obvious,

Christie’s

reported.

Their

cooperation, titled “Portrait of Edmond De Belamy,” is part of a series of paintings of the fictional Belamy

family and was expected to fetch $$7,000 to $$10,000, according to Christie’s.

To create the portrait, the Obvious team first fed the network a diet of 15,000 images painted between

the

14th

and

20th

centuries,

to

train

it

to

recognize

visual

elements

in

fine

art,

Obvious

artist

Hugo

Caselles-

Dupré told Christie’s. The algorithm that

eventually created an original image had two parts that

worked against each other, called the Generator (that makes the art) and a Discriminator (that tries to spot

the difference between human-created and AI-created images), Caselles-Dupré

explained; they called this

AI “generative adversarial network” (GAN), Caselles

-Dupré

explained.

GAN’s final image was then printed and framed, according to Obvious. At the bottom of the portrait is

a mathematical

formula

(

公式

) representing the algorithm that created it, a nod to the relationship between

the Generator and the Discriminator, Obvious artists wrote on the collective’s website.
