分析 本文介绍了我们的大脑能够识别不同种类的脸部表情,刚出生的婴儿即刻就能认出自己妈妈的脸部轮廓,成人后能够分辨十万个不同的人脸.其大脑所具备的这种惊人的记忆是令人叹服的;麻省理工学院及英国伦敦大学学院的研究人员对此进行了深入的研究.
解答 41-45 JHBEF 46-49 IDGC
41.J.composition,名词,意为"结构,组成",这里表示"认出母亲的脸部构成",由后面的we can recognize her body shape可推出是识别妈妈的脸部轮廓.故选J.
42.H.fascinating,形容词,意为"有趣的,迷人的",此处为句型"It‟sfascinating/interesting/exciting that/how…",表示…是如此有趣.强调这种行为的惊奇;故选H.
43.B.recall,动词,意为"回忆,回想",此处根据常用搭配find it difficult to do sth得出应选择动词,recall such a simple thing as a phone number表示"回想出简单的电话号码". 故选B.
44.E.necessary,形容词,"必要的",此处necessary for facial recognition作后置定语修饰the specific areas,表示"识别人脸必要的区域".故选E.
45.F.locate,动词,"定位".此处有搭配succeed in sth/doing sth,故要选择动名词形式.这里意为"成功定位到一个脑部具体区域FFA".故选F.
46.I.elsewhere,副词,"其他地方".由上文推断出既然人脸识别是一个专门的区域进行处理,那么此处"对其它物体的识别"自然是大脑中"其它地方"了.故选I.
47.D.previously,副词,"先前的".根据上文推断得出人脸识别需要看到整张脸,因此此处的想法"我们只需要看一些脸部特征"是"先前的". 故选D.
48.G.instead,副词,"代替,而不是".此处根据两句话的意思推断出是转折替代关系,因此选instead.
49.C.processing,名词,"处理,进程".根据语法推断出此处填名词,由上下文意思得出用processing,表示"这一复杂的处理过程在瞬间完成".故选C.
