三、阅读理解（共2道试题，共40分。）
1.
A rising moon seems larger because it appears farther away. Why dose the moon seem so much larger when it’s on the horizon than when it’s overhead The question has perplexed us for millennia.
Known as the “moon illusion”, the effect has produced some studies that show when the moon hangs low in the sky it appears twice as big as when it reaches its zenith. Yet the moon remains constant, both in size and distance from the earth.
Lloyd Kaufman, professor of psychology and neural science at New York University, has pondered the problem for more than 40 years, and he thought he knew the answer but couldn’t prove it. “It became increasingly clear that there was no way we were going to convince the critics without data,” he said.
So he teamed up with his son, James Kaufman, a physicist at IBM’s Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Calif. Both thought that the illusion was caused by our perception of how far away we thought the moon was—its apparent distance. “Can’t we just measure the perceived distance that the brain uses in calculating the size of the moon”, the younger Kaufman says. “An experiment was the logical thing to do.”
Aided by a few wizards at IBM, he came up with just the tool, a computerized moon simulator that allows the scientists to determine what people think they’re seeing when they look at the moon. The result is surprising, and like any good illusion, the answer itself is a bit baffling. We think the horizon moon is bigger, the study shows, because we think it’s farther away. That seems to defy commonsense. When the moon rises over the snowcapped mountain outside my office window in Alaska, it looks close enough to be just the other side of the mountain. But the study shows that isn’t what my brain perceives. But don’t let the science take the romance out of moonlit walks.

2.
Last week as my husband and I were driving near the beach, we noticed a small house with a “For Rent” sign. We went onto the front porch and knocked at the door, but no one answered, so we walked down the steps and around to the rear of the house. There we found a small yard surrounded by a fence with an old metal gate.
Because the house was empty, we decided to take a look inside. We looked in one of the windows near the back porch and saw that the inside was dusty but in generally good condition. The walls and floors were in perfect condition. The only thing that needed repair was the ceiling in the kitchen, which had been damaged by some rainwater.
While we were looking, a neighbor came over to see who we were. The house belonged to him, so he was able to take us inside. There were a total of six rooms, and all but the kitchen and carpeting. The house was unfurnished, but there were still several pictures hanging in one of the rooms. In general, the house looked wonderful.
The landlord explained to us that the rent was ＄350 per month, due by the fifth day of each month, and that usually he required a deposit equal to one month’s rent. However, if we would repair the ceiling, he would not charge us the deposit. The idea sounded very good, so my husband and I went home to discuss things. We decided to take it.

A.drove to the beach for holiday
B.happened to find a house for rent.

A. Because the house was in perfect condition.
