14.（2018·内蒙古自治区中考真题）
Sometimes，when you worry that you may fail an exam，you end up failing．Or during a seating arrangement （安排） in your class，when you are afraid to sit next to someone you don' t like，you end up sharing the desk with him or her．
This is what Murphy' s Law tells us： If things can go wrong，they will go wrong．But is it true？
Of the studies about Murphy' s Law，the most famous one is the buttered toast （烤面包片）phenomenon （现象）： One toast with butter falls，it lands butter﹣side down most of the time．
To prove this，Robert Matthews did a lot of experiments with more than 1，000British school kids in 2001．
In the first experiment，each student put a piece of buttered toast on a plate，let it fall off 20times and noted which side it landed on．Of almost 10，000experiments，toast landed butter﹣side down 62percent of the time．
But you may ask： Is it the butter that plays a role？ Here comes Matthews' second experiment．
This time，instead of butter，the toast had a letter "B" written on one side．It still landed 58 percent of the time on the B﹣side．
This proved that Murphy' s Law is true： If the toast can land butter﹣side down，it will do so．
Matthews did another experiment．When students threw the toast from a height of 2.5metres，the toast landed butter﹣side down only 47percent of the time．
"Toast lands butter﹣side down because humans aren' t tall enough to let it land any other way，" Matthews said．
根据上文内容判断正 （T） 误（F）
61．According to Murphy' s Law，in an English class，if you don' t want to be questioned by the teacher，you may end up failing answering the questions．
62．In the first experiment of buttered toast，we know the toast landed butter﹣side down about 620times．
63．If the toast can land butter﹣side down，Murphy' s Law is true．
64．In the first two experiments，either the butter or the letter "B" plays a role．
65．The passage is mainly talking about Murphy' s Law depends on people' s mental state（心理状态）．
短文讲了墨菲定律，通过实验告诉我们墨菲定律对人们的影响．
61．F
细节判断题．根据第一段句子Or during a seating arrangement （安排） in your class，when you are afraid to sit next to someone you don' t like，you end up sharing the desk with him or her．这就是墨菲定律告诉我们的：如果不想和某人安排在一起，结果就和他或她在同一张桌子．可知根据墨菲定律，在英语课上，如果你不想被老师提问，你可能会就会被老师提问，但不一定回答问题不正确．故答案为F．
62．F
细节判断题．根据第五段句子In the first experiment，each student put a piece of buttered toast on a plate，let it fall off 20times and noted which side it landed on．在第一个实验中，每个学生在一个盘子上放了一块涂了奶油的烤面包片，让它掉下20次，并注意到它落在了哪一边．可知在第一个涂了奶油的烤面包的实验中，我们知道烤面包的奶油面大约掉在下面620次，原文Of almost 10，000experiments，toast landed butter﹣side down 62percent of the time在几乎1000次的试验中有62%是带有黄油的那面先落地。所以不够620次，该句是错误的．故答案为F．
63．T
细节判断题．根据This proved that Murphy' s Law is true： If the toast can land butter﹣side down，it will do so．烤面包片掉落时在黄油面，那么就认为墨菲定律就是对的。故答案为T．
64．F
细节判断题．根据最后一段句子"Toast lands butter﹣side down because humans aren' t tall enough to let it land any other way，" Matthews said．马休斯说，烤面包片掉落时在奶油面，因为人类没有足够的能力让它以任何其他方式着陆，"Matthews说．可知在前两个实验中，要么是奶油，要么是字母"B"起了作用是错误的．故答案为F．
65．F
主旨大意题。根据短文提到的实验可知这篇文章主要讨论的是墨菲定律和人的心里有关但不是取决于人们的心理状态．故答案为F．
【点睛】
做好简单推理判断题．以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断．只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论．
