Reading Comprehension (50%)Directions: Read the following 5 passages carefully, and choose the best answer to each question fromthe four choices given. Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage 1Anyone who has played cards with a poker-faced opponent can appreciate how difficult it is todetect a liar. Surprisingly, technology doesnt help very much. Few experts display much confidence inthe deception-detecting abilities of the polygraph, or lie detector. Geoffrey C. Bunn, Ph.D., apsychologist and polygraph historian at Canadas York University, goes so far as to describe the liedetectoras“an entertainment devicerather thanascientificinstrument.Created around1921duringoneof the first collaborations between scientists and police, the device was quickly popularized byenthusiastic newspaper headlines and by the element of drama it bestowed in movies and novels.Butmassappeal doesnt conferlegitimacy. The problemwith thepolygraph, sayexperts like Bunn,is that it detects fear, not lying; the physiological responses that it measuresmost often heart rate, skinconductivity, and rate of respiration_on5t necessarily accompany dishonesty.“The premise ofa lie detector is thata smoke alarm goes off in thebrain when we lie because weredoing something wrong, explains Saxe. But sometimes were completely comfortable with our lies.Thusa criminaTs lie can easily go undetected if he has no fear of telling it. Similarly, a true statement byan innocent individual could be misinterpreted if the person issufficiently afraid of the examination circumstances. According to Saxe, the best-controlled researchsuggests thatlie detectorserr ata rate anywhere from 25to 75percent.Perhaps thisiswhy moststateandfederal courts wont allow polygraph evidence.Some studies suggest that lies can be detected by means other than a polygraphby trackingspeech hesitations or changes in vocal pitch, for example, or by identifying various nervous adaptivehabits like scratching, blinking, or fidgeting. But most psychologists agree that lie detection is destinedto be imperfect. Still, researchers continue to investigate new ways of picking up lies. While studyinghow language patterns are associated with improvements in physical health, James W. Pennebaker,Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Southern Methodist University, also began to explore whether apersons choiceof wordswas a sign of deception.Examining datagathered from a text analysis program,Pennebaker and SMU colleague Diane Berry, PhD., determined that there are certain language patternsthat predict when someone is being less than honest. For example, liars tend to use fewer first personwordslike I or my in both speech and writing. They are also lessapt to use emotionalwords,such as hurtor angry, cognitive words, like understand or realize, and so-called exclusive words, such as but orwithout, that distinguishbetween what is and isnt in a categoiy.答 案 写 在 答 题 纸 上 ， 写 在 试 卷 上 无 效 第 4 页 （ 共 “ 页 ）While the picture of lying that has emerged in recent years is far more favorable than that suggestedbyitsbiblicalthou shaltnotstatus,mostliarsremain atleast somewhat conflicted abouttheirbehavior. Inthe studies of Bella DePaulo, Ph.D., a psychologist at the University of Virginia, participants describedconversations in which they lied as less intimate and pleasant than truthful encounters, suggesting thatpeople are not entirely at ease with their deceptions. That may explain why falsehoods are more likely to betold over the telephone, which provides more anonymity than a face-to-face conversation. In most cases,however, any mental distress that results from telling an everyday lie quickly dissipates. Those who tookpart in the diary study said they would tell about 75 percent of their lies again if given a second chanceaposition no doubt bolstered by their generally high success rate. Only about a fifth of their falsehoods werediscovered during the one-week study period.Certainly anyone who insists on condemning all lies should ponder what would happen if we couldreliably tell when our family, friends, colleagues, and government leaders were deceiving us. Its temptingto think that the world would become a better place when purged of the deceptions that seem to interferewith our attempts at genuinecommunication orintimacy. On theother hand,periiapsoursocial lives wouldcollapse under the weight of relentless honesty, with unveiled truths destroying our ability to connect withothers. The ubiquity of lying is clearly a problem, but would we want to will away all of our lies? Lefs behonest.1. According to Bunn, what is the problem with the polygraph?A.

The publichousing policy dates to 1954, after a fire in Shek Kip Mei destroyed thousands of shanty homes andprompted the government to begin constructing homes for the poor.Public housing is mainly built by the Hong Kong Housing Authority and the Hong Kong HousingSociety. Rents and prices are significantly lower than those for private housing and are heavily subsidizedby the government, with revenues partially recovered from sources such as rents and charges collectedfrom car parks and shops within or near the residences.Many public housing estates are built in the new towns of the New Territories, but urban expansionhas left some older estates deep in central urban areas. They are found in every district of Hong Kongexcept in Wan Chai District. The vast majority of public housing are provided in high-rise buildings, andrecent blocks usually comprise 40 or more storeys.In 1963, due to the rapid escalation of squatter numbers, squatters eligibility fbr public housing wasfrozen, and future squatter areas came under licensing per the 1964 White Paper. The settlements of thesesquatters on the urban fringe were cleared in order to provide housing and industrial sites. With theformation of this ad hoc resettlement scheme, it later evolved into a policy tool to support the burgeoningmanufacturing industry. The Housing Board was set up with the role of coordinating between agenciesresponsible fbr domestic housing. It made recommendations to have annual evaluations of supply anddemand of housing, as well as increasing the minimum standard floor area per person to 35 sq ft (3.3 m2).Lower Ngau Tau Kok Estate, built between 1967 and 1970, was among the first group ofresettlement estates built with lifts. All blocks were 16-floor high, and lifts from the ground floor couldreach the 8th and the 13th floors.In 1975, the Government officially opened the Oi Man Estate. The blocks were built in twin-towerlayout with two square blocks interlocked together. There were sixteen large and small units on each floorof the block, and each flat with its own kitchen and toilet inside. The housing estate was also built on aconcept of a little town within a city”. The estate of 6,200 flats, constructed on a site of 21 acres (85,000m2) and capable of housing 46,000 people, offered a self-contained environment complete withcommercial amenities ranging from markets and barber shops to banks. This represented an innovation inthatthecommercial premises would serve thelocalestate, whilepayinga rent determined by publictender.Banks, restaurants, and other large premises would be iet out on a five-year contract, competing on amonthlyrental offered,whiletenantsforsmaller premiseswouldcompeteonpremium paidbased onfixedmonthly rentals. Unlike the generations of housing estates which preceded it, there would be designatedmarket stalls and cooked-food stalls. Street vendors would no longer be tolerated.In 1980, the government launched the first batch of public housing in the Home Ownership Scheme,thereby allowing low-income families to own their homes for the first time.A new town to be constructed on 240 hectares of reclaimed fishponds and wetland was conceived in1987 to house 140,000 people. Since Tin Shui Wai was entirely a virgin development, it was conceivedwith wider walkways and larger open areas when compared to other urban developments in Hong Kong.6. What is public housing?A. It is a set of mass housin
