Honesty is a virtue, and telling a lie is morally wrong. But how can you【C1】______ if someone’s lying? The answer is, they’re probably not. Traditional economics says that people are【C2】______ beings who will lie if it’s【C3】______their advantage. A recent university study has shown that, actually, we’re pretty honest— especially when we’re at home.
Researchers in Germany phoned people at home and asked them to【C4】______a coin. There was a strong financial【C5】______to fake the result: if the coin landed tails-up, the participant would receive money or a gift【C6】______, while if the coin landed heads-up, they would get nothing. Because they were on the phone, they knew there was no【C7】______of getting caught if they lied. And yet people revealed the truth【C8】______they would receive nothing. Over hundreds of tosses a coin will land tails-up【C9】______50% of the time. In this study over half the people(55. 6%)asked said that the coin landed heads-up. Most of diem didn’t pursue the reward at the【C10】______of honesty.
Previous studies had found mat people were more【C11】______. In those laboratory studies 75% of people,【C12】______some who faked the results, reported a winning coin and claimed a reward. So me research team【C13】______ it’s being in our own home which makes us play fair.【C14】______, what motivates people to do so remains【C15】______.
In fact, both types of study show people are surprisingly【C16】______. Even in me laboratory, 25% of people【C17】______a reward by telling the truth. The researchers say this is because honesty is highly valued and people deem honesty is me【C18】______for doing everything well. We care about our reputation and our sense of ourselves as【C19】______people. So lying has a psychological cost and it seems mis cost【C20】______ the financial benefits of lying. [br] 【C1】
选项
A、conceive
B、deceive
C、conceit
D、perceive
答案
D
解析
动词辨析题。句意为:但你怎样才能察觉有人说谎呢?根据上下文语境,此处应该指的是察觉或是发现人们是否说谎,所以首先排除deceive“欺骗,行骗”和conceit“幻想”。conceive指“设想,构思”,例如:We can’t conceive of living without a telephone.(我们简直设想不出没有电话人怎么活下去。)而perceive指“察觉,理解”,例如:Regardless of why they choose to drink,many people do not perceive thepotential risk or harm that may result from binge drinking.(无论他们是为了何种原因喝酒,许多人都没有察觉到他们醉酒后所带来的潜在的危险或伤害。)根据句意,perceive为答案。
