当提及六级听力时，尤其是英语六级真题听力，我们不禁会想起那些考验英语学习者听力理解能力的挑战。作为英语六级考试的重要组成部分，六级听力部分不仅要求考生能够捕捉和识别出基本的语言信息，更需要他们在有限的时间内对复杂的语境进行准确理解，并快速作出反应。小编为大家整理了2022年6月英语六级真题听力第一套Passage 2的内容，希望能对您有所帮助！

英文原文

Passage 2

短文2

A recent study overturned what we think we know about lying. Most of us have a theory about how to tell if someone is telling a lie. We may develop that theory from observations of those people we know well and see regularly. But we tend to generalize what we gather from that unscientific daily research and make it a universal theory. So we might imagine that liars have evasive eyes, or the opposite, they simply stare at you. Or perhaps it is more generally nervous behavior we associate with lies. Whatever the particular theory is, usually based on close observation of people we know, and we get lots of practice. On average, we're lied to some 200 times per day. These are mostly harmless lies, but lies nonetheless.

最近的一项研究颠覆了我们对说谎的认知。我们大多数人都有一套理论来判断某人是否在说谎。我们可能会通过观察我们熟悉并经常见到的人来发展这套理论。但我们倾向于将我们从这种非科学的日常研究中收集到的东西普遍化，并将其转化为普遍理论。所以我们可能会想象说谎者会回避眼神，或者相反，他们只是盯着你看。或者，也许我们通常将说谎与更普遍的紧张行为联系起来。无论具体的理论是什么，通常都基于我们对熟人的仔细观察，我们在这方面有很多实践经验。平均来说，我们每天被谎言欺骗大约200次。这些大多是无害的谎言，但毕竟是谎言。

But there's a problem with our theories. Even though they're based on all this observation, the average person, you and me, tested rigorously on how well we detect lies, fails to do better than chance. That's well established over many studies and lots of attempts by researchers to work out reliable ways to detect lies. It's even relatively easy to fool lie detectors, the gold standard of lie detection, by training yourself in breathing techniques and symptom suppression.

但我们的理论存在一个问题。尽管它们基于所有这些观察，但经过严格测试的你和我这样的普通人，在检测谎言方面并没有比随机猜测做得更好。这一点在许多研究和研究人员尝试找出可靠的方法来检测谎言的多次尝试中已经得到了很好的证实。即使是通过训练自己的呼吸技巧和抑制症状，也很容易欺骗测谎仪——测谎的黄金标准。

Is there any way to get better at detecting lies? The new research offers some surprising advice: stop looking and listen instead. It turns out that if we're unable to see the face, but rather focus on the voice of the person in question, our accuracy rate improves considerably.

有没有什么办法可以提高识别谎言的能力呢？新研究给出了一些令人惊讶的建议：停止观察，转而倾听。事实证明，如果我们无法看到面孔，而是专注于被问询者的声音，我们的准确率会大大提高。
