5、versity of Granada recently investigated the so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses dont grow when we tell a lie,but actually shrink a bit.Dr Gmez Miln and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography (温度记录法) to tell if people were lying,and found that whenever partic
6、ipants in their research were being untruthful,the temperature of the tip of their nose dropped up to 1.2,while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5.Scientists also found that the temperature drop actually caused the nose to slightly shrink,although the difference is undetected by t
7、he human eye.“One has to think in order to lie,which raises the temperature of the forehead,”Dr Gmez Miln explained the findings.“At the same time we feel anxious,which lowers the temperature of the nose.”For this study,researchers asked 60 students to perform various tasks while their temperature i
8、s scanned by thermal imaging(热成像) technology.One of these tasks involved making a 3-to 4-minute call to their parents or a friend and telling a significant lie.Participants had to make up the lie themselves during the call.Interestingly,the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference i

13、Pinocchio effect and found that our noses dont grow when we tell a lie,but actually shrink a bit”可知,所谓的“匹诺曹效应”就是当我们撒谎时,我们的鼻子会变长。故选A项。3.C推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知,Gmez Miln博士认为通过这种方法,他们已经达到了提高准确性的目标,他还认为有朝一日执法机关可以将其他测谎技术与热成像结合起来,以取得更好的效果。由此可推知,Gmez Miln 博士对这款测谎仪很有信心。故选C项。4.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“who added that law enforcement agencies could one day combine other lie detection technologies with thermal imaging to achieve better results”可知,有朝一日执法机关可以将其他测谎技术与热成像结合起来,由此可推知,让说谎者暴露的方法有很多。故选B项。
