That39。s got stuck to it. He added: Only 2 per cent of people consider it a problem.” While widespread, the scientific munity has not yet invested much effort in getting to the bottom of why we suffer phantom calls. Dr. Rosenberger said: People are guessing it has something to do with nervous energy. The cognitive （認(rèn)知的） scientists are talking about brain chemistry, cognitive pathways changing. But it39。s opinion, phantom vibration syndrome ___. A. isn39。 文章介紹了一種非常普遍的病癥 — 振動幻聽綜合癥。由第二段中的 “ Now scientists believe that we are so alert（警覺） for phone calls and messages we are misinterpreting slight muscle spasms （痙攣） as proof of a call” 可知，科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為我們對手機(jī)電話和短信如此警覺以至于我們會把輕微的肌肉痙攣誤認(rèn)為是電話。 5. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 故 C選項正確。由第四段中的 “ it39。也就是說，他認(rèn)為這并不是一種病。 7. 主旨大意題。該段主要介紹了振動幻聽綜合癥是一種非常普遍的現(xiàn)象。下文簡單分析了這種現(xiàn)象的原因以及科學(xué)家們對此的看法。 C Sometimes, you just can39。re watching a sad movie, or thinking about the friend who moved away. Next thing you know, you feel pressure in your throat, your eyes are watering, and you have tears running down your cheeks. According to Ad Vingerhoets, a professor of psychology at Tilburg University, in the Netherlands, who is one of the few scientists in the world who have studied crying, there are three types of tears. Basal tears are the first type. They act as a protective barrier between the eye and the rest of the World. Next are reflex tears. They wash your eyes clean when something gets in them. Finally, there are emotional tears. “These are released in response to emotional states,” explains Vingerhoets. Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other. “Humans are very pl ex social creatures,” says Lauren Bylsma, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh, in Pennsylvania. It seems that tears serve to arouse help and support from others,” She says. Vingerhoets agrees, I think that the reason why humans shed tears（流眼淚） has something to do with our childhood, he says. that39。s surprising, she says, how much we still don39。文章從科學(xué)的角度分析了哭的類型和哭的原因等內(nèi)容。由第三段中的 “ Scientists believe crying has something to do with how humans developed and learned to depend on each other” 可知，科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為哭和人類如何發(fā)展，如何彼此依靠有關(guān)系。 D選項正確。由第四段中的 “ The major advantage of emotional tears is that you can target them at a specific person.” Ving erhoets says this ability could have e in handy in prehistoric times, when humans were living among dangerous animals. Tears were a safer way to get attention.” 可知， Vingerhoets 認(rèn)為淚水的主要優(yōu)勢就是你可以將淚水指向一個特定的目標(biāo)。淚水是獲得注意的一種更安全的方式。 10. 推理判斷題。結(jié)合選項可知，他們都認(rèn)可淚水的積極作用。 【 名師點(diǎn)睛 】 根據(jù)事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)，推斷合理信息。推理題所涉及的內(nèi)容可能是文中某一句話，也可是某幾句話，但做題的指導(dǎo)思想都是以文字信息為依據(jù)，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根據(jù)的推理，也不能根據(jù)表面文字信息做多步推理。切忌用自己的觀點(diǎn)代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面結(jié)論。結(jié)合選項可知，他們都認(rèn)可淚水的積極作用。 11. 標(biāo)題歸納題 。 【 名師點(diǎn)睛 】 概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段開頭再看全文找主題句，若無明顯主題句，就通過關(guān)鍵詞句來概括 (如議論文中尋找表達(dá)作者觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度的詞句，記敘文尋找概括情節(jié)和中心的動詞或反映人物特點(diǎn)的形容詞 )。s garden, always in bloom, where I made bunches with whatever I could get my hands on.
