【正文】 These findings are more significant than you might think, he said. It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a noticeable decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can worsen future quality of life. There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function. The initial results of this study show that 3D films may potentially play a role in slowing this decline. According to the research, which was carried out in partnership with science group Thrill Laboratory, participants experienced a 23 percent increase in cognitive processing, as well as an 11 percent increase in reaction times. The research was led by neuroscientist(神經(jīng)學(xué)家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London. More than 100 people took part in the experiment, where participants watched Disney film Big Hero 6 in either standard format or RealD 3D. But there may be a benefit to doing so, as a study has found that 3D films exercise the brain and improve shortterm functioning in a similar way to braintraining tests. Paying a higher price than usual for a ticket to see a film in 3D is the annoyance of many a cinemagoer39。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，代詞指代，推理判斷和主旨大意四個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇人物類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。 （4）考查主旨大意。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“So did trumpeter and bandleader, King Joe Oliver, who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his playing technique.”小號手兼樂隊(duì)指揮King Joe Oliver也這么做了，他把小男孩放在自己的側(cè)廳，教他如何閱讀音樂，學(xué)習(xí)演奏技巧。s jazz.”，故選C。根據(jù)第一段中的to create what would eventually bee today39。It describes the importance of talent in playing jazz.【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）D（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，介紹了音樂人Louis Armstrong學(xué)習(xí)音樂的過程。It introduces one of the greatest jazz musicians.C.s the main idea of the passage?
