（二）

答案與解析：本文介紹了 1985 年法國(guó)一電視公司和 1991 年英國(guó)一心理學(xué)教授所做的兩次實(shí)驗(yàn)。先介紹了 1985 年法國(guó)一電視公司邀請(qǐng)一些演員模擬在地鐵上有人被攻擊的場(chǎng)景，結(jié)果沒有人提供幫助;1991 年在英國(guó)進(jìn)行的實(shí)驗(yàn)中，一心理學(xué)教授讓自己的學(xué)生去偷車，結(jié)果很少有人幫助，更有甚者還幫助學(xué)生偷東西或銷贓。這真讓人感到驚訝！

1. B。從上下文看，這里說(shuō)的是一法國(guó)電視公司派記者到巴黎地鐵拍攝當(dāng)遇到有人受到攻擊時(shí)乘客的反應(yīng)場(chǎng)面。

2. C。從下文來(lái)看，這里說(shuō)的是記者想了解一下當(dāng)有人受到攻擊時(shí)乘客的反應(yīng)。這可從下文 The attack was on a train 及 …a foreigner was attacked by three men 得到暗示。

3. D。由后面的 but they were all done with the help of actors 及該電視公司這樣做的目的來(lái)看，這里用 real 較好。

4. B。前面提到在演員的協(xié)助下上演了一幕有人被攻擊的場(chǎng)景，由however 可推知，盡管有人被攻擊，但很少有人試圖出手幫助。

5. B。前面說(shuō)很少有人出手幫助，與此語(yǔ)意一致，and 后面說(shuō)的應(yīng)是很多乘客假裝沒看見。

6. C。從前面 The incidents looked real but they were all done with the help of actors 可得到提示。

7. A。文章一開頭就有 a France television company sent its reporters to the Paris Metro，因此這里談?wù)摰氖录桶l(fā)生在滿是乘客的火車上。

8. A. 前面說(shuō)當(dāng)攻擊發(fā)生時(shí)車?yán)餄M是乘客，當(dāng)被攻擊者請(qǐng)?jiān)趫?chǎng)的其他乘客給予幫助時(shí)，竟沒有人幫助。

9. B。前面例舉的是法國(guó)一電視公司所做的一次實(shí)驗(yàn)，后面又說(shuō)英國(guó)一教授也曾做過(guò)類似的實(shí)驗(yàn)。由此可判斷，這不是只有法國(guó)才存在的問(wèn)題。這在文章最后一句話也有暗示。

10. C。從下文可知，此處介紹的是一英國(guó)心理學(xué)教授所做的一次讓學(xué)生在眾目睽睽下?lián)尳僮约很囕v的實(shí)驗(yàn)。send out 意為“派出，派遣”，即教授派自己的學(xué)生去搶車。
