【文章內容簡介】 s occurs in the brain—in the auditory cortex (聽覺皮層) just behind the ear, not in areas of higher thought. ”現在，加州大學舊金山分校（University of California in San Francisco）的科學家找到了這種聲音編輯過程在大腦中發(fā)生的位置──在耳朵后面的聽覺皮層，而不是大腦的高級思維區(qū)域?？芍?，在到達更高的大腦之前，聲音已經被整理出來了，故選D。（2）考查推理判斷。根據第三段中的“These findings, published in the journal Nature last week, explain why people aren39。t very good at multitaskingour brains are wired for ‘selective attention’ and can focus on only one thing at a time. ”這些上月發(fā)布在《自然》期刊上的研究結果強調了為何人們不是很擅長處理多任務──我們的大腦有“選擇性注意”機制，一次只能專注于一件事。可知，我們在生理上無法同時處理多項任務。故選A。（3）考查推理判斷。根據第四段中的“Many of those accidents are due to ‘inattentional blindness’, in which people can, in effect, turn a blind eye to things they aren39。t focusing on.”可知，D項A pedestrian had a car accident because of phubbing.“一個行人因低頭族而發(fā)生車禍?！笔且粋€“inattentional blindness”的例子。故選D。（4）考查目的意圖。根據最后一段中的“Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important — like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as a whole. Many more think they can effectively multitask, but are actually shifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either, experts say. ”有人可以訓練自己對重要的事情付出格外的注意力──就像警察學習掃描人群的面孔，以及樂團指揮可以在整個樂團中聽到每件樂器的聲音。專家說，更多的人則是自以為可以有效地處理多任務，但他們其實是在兩件事之間迅速轉移注意力，而并沒有全身心地投入到其中任何一件事中。可知本文的目的是“檢查和評估”，故選D。【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和目標意圖三個題型的考查，是一篇生活類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文進行討論推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 Valentine39。s Day is supposed to be about love and romance. But unfortunately, it can be just the opposite. Because of that, Feb. 15th starts the busy season for divorce lawyers, as people who were unhappy with their marriages heading into the day often decide that they no longer want to be with the one they used to love. A study of divorce filings (檔案) in New York, Illinois and California by AttorneyFee. , a legal referral (推薦) site, found that February is the busiest month of the year for divorce filings, up about 18% from the average month. And those seeking referrals for a divorce lawyer on the site increase 38% following the holiday, with the biggest rise on the day after Valentine39。s. Another legal site, Avvo. , reports a 40% increase in those seeking information and advice about divorce in the period right after Valentine39。s Day.There39。s a very large number of people who are considering the divorce all the time, deciding whether or not to file, said Richard Komaiko, a cofounder of AttorneyFee. On Valentine39。s Day, this thing is carefully considered. Komaiko said February has factors other than the holiday that could lead to an increase in divorces. January is the busiest month of the year for bankruptcy (破產) filings, highlighting the financial problems that often divide couples.

And those seeking referrals for a divorce lawyer on the site increase 38% following the holiday, with the biggest rise on the day after Valentine39。s ”2月份是一年中提交離婚申請最忙的月份，比平均月份增長了約18%。而那些在網站上尋求離婚律師推薦的人在假期后增加了38%，這是情人節(jié)后的最大漲幅，可知，2月份在情人節(jié)后提交離婚申請達到高峰期。故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據第四段中的“There39。s a very large number of people who are considering the divorce all the time, deciding whether or not to file 和On Valentine39。s Day, this thing is carefully considered”可知，有很多人一直在考慮離婚。在情人節(jié)的時候，可以慎重考慮是否提交離婚申請。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據第五段中的“January is the busiest month of the year for bankruptcy (破產) filings, highlighting the financial problems 和 the cold weather of February can keep couples that are having trouble indoors and closer to each other, adding to problems”可知，2月份離婚率增加有兩個原因： 一月份是一年中申請破產最忙的一個月，凸顯了夫妻間的財務問題；2月的寒冷天氣讓有問題的夫妻呆在室內時間更長，距離更近，從而增加了問題。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇社會現象類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 TEENSGIVING is an exciting yearly event where hundreds of New York City teens gather together annually for a remarkable day of munity service.
