6.Do you ever pull your phone out of your pocket,thinking it is vibrating(振动),only to find that it isn't?This phenomenon,which scientists call"phantom(幻觉的)phone vibration",is very common.Around 80% of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when they were actually still.
So,what leads to this universal behavior?According to the BBC,the explanation lies in your brain's ability to discover signals from the outside world.
When your phone is in your pocket,there are two possible states:it is either vibrating or not.Meanwhile,you also have two possible states of mind:the judgment that the phone is vibrating,or that it isn't.
Ideally,you match the four states correctly.However,sometimes your brain decides that the consequences of missing a call are more serious than a"false alarm".Therefore,you become more sensitive to vibrations so that you don't miss anything.,
This is just like the fire alarm in your home-it can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smoke.But that's a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert you.Now,you might still ask:why can't our brains just make every judgment correctly without being too sensitive to false signals?The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day."You get a large amount of sensory information that's coming from your eyes,ears and skin,and you can't deal with all that information all the time,"Michael Rothberg,a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield,US,told Live Science.
For example,the rustling(沙沙声)of clothing or the growling(咕咕声)of your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phone-it is like trying to hear your name being called in a noisy room.
So,perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think it's vibrating.It's not too much trouble to do that,is it?

分析 本文是一篇说明文.文章主要介绍了一种普遍现象:我们经常错误地认为口袋里的手机在震动.并简单说明了这种现象产生的原因.
解答 28-31 CBCB
28.C.细节理解题.根据第五段"you become more sensitive to vibrations so that you don't miss anything."可知大脑为了避免错过重要电话而变得过分敏感,以至于有时候会出现错误判断.故选C.
29.B.推理判断题.根据"the consequences of missing a call are more serious than a"false alarm".Therefore,you become more sensitive to vibrations so that you don't miss anything"可知大脑认为漏报比错报的后果严重,这是导致phantom phone vibration的原因,这就像防火警报一样,漏报导致火灾比误报的后果要严重得多.所以作者举例类比,以帮助读者理解phantom phone vibration形成的原因.故选B.
30.C.细节理解题.根据"You get a large amount of sensory information that's coming from your eyes,ears and skin,and you can't deal with all that information all the time"可知大脑要处理大量信息,不堪重负,无法既对每一次手机震动都快速反应又避免误判,只能选择对手机震动更敏感一些,宁可错报也不要漏报.出现phantom phone vibration的原因是身体各部位要感知大量信息.故选C.
31.B.细节理解题.文章最后一段给出了应对phantom phone vibration的建议,"perhaps you should just check your phone whenever you think it's vibrating"当我们觉得我们的电话震动的时候我们就要检查电话.故选B.
点评 此题主要考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.细节理解题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题,所以在做细节理解题时要结合原文和提干有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,再结合选项选出正确答案.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
