【文章大意】一项蜘蛛实验证明:人的恐惧心理会将蜘蛛体形放大,让人更加恐惧。
1.【解析】选C。细节理解题。由第三段的“gathered together 57 participants who were all extremely afraid of spiders”可知,参与者都是极度害怕蜘蛛的人。第四段的“Each tarantula was kept in an open glass box”告诉我们,每只蜘蛛是单独搁在一个敞开的玻璃盒子里的,不是五只一起放在一个盒子里,A项不对。第四段的“they were asked to rate their fear level on a scale of 0 to 100”说明,参与者需要用分数来说明自己的恐惧程度,而不是用语言,B项不对。D项文中没有提到。
