第三部分　阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

Offering a powerful new tool against terrorism, researchers have found a way to detect lies in the liar’s blushing(脸红) face. The technique, described in the journal (期刊) Nature, uses a thermal camera (热感照相机) to detect the sudden shift of blood flow in the face. The system performed as a traditional polygraph (测谎仪), the scientists report.

Pushed by technological advances and with fresh interest since Sept.11, the discovery is part of the development in the scientific study of detection. Although the lie remains a mysterious phenomenon, researchers in recent years have found a number of new methods that might take the place of the polygraph, from brain scans, to slight changes in eye movement, to sparks of electrical activity that signal a person has seen a victim or a crime scene before. The new finding says, when a person tells a lie, there is a sudden change of blood to the area around the eyes. Although the change is not ordinary visible, the blood warms the skin, causing bands of color to appear through a camera sensitive to heat.

One advantage of the camera can provide answers quickly, and doesn’t require a highly trained expert to operate it or explain its results. In theory, this new technology could be used anywhere large numbers of people need to be quickly screened.

But some scientists say the technology would need to be improved before it is ready for use, for it is possible that there are other reactions that cause a sudden change in blood flow in the face and there is also the danger that people will learn to fool the machine, the same way they try to fool polygraph examiners by controlling their breathing or taking drugs to relax themselves.

56. Compared with a traditional polygraph, the new tool’s progress lies in the fact that _______.

A. it is moveable B. it is easier to operate

C. it gives correct conclusion D. it can only be used in public places.

57. Different from the other tried ways, this new technology studies ______ to detect lies.

A. brain waves B. eye movements

C. electrical sparks D. change in facial blood flow

58. We can infer that _________ inspires the finding of the new way of detection.

A. the need of personal security
