But for scientists, working out what is going on in an actor39。 Now, researchers have said actors show different patterns of brain activity depending on whether they are in character or not. almost like the character is possessing you. Once inside the MRI scanner, the actors were asked to answer a number of questions, such as: would they go to the party? And would they tell their parents that they had fallen in love? The results revealed that the brain activity differed depending on the situation being tested. The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some thirdperson knowledge or inferences about their character. However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than pretending to be someone — it involves embodying (體現(xiàn)) the text and language.（1）How did Dr Brown39。By scanning the brain activity of some actors.B.By interviewing some theatre teachers.D.s research?

The team found that when the actors were in character, they use some thirdperson knowledge or inferences about their character.”結(jié)果顯示，大腦活動的不同取決于所測試的情境。由此可知Brown博士的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，演員在表演時大腦活動是不同的，故選B。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However, Philip Davis, a professor at the University of Liverpool, was unimpressed by the research, saying acting is about far more than ‘pretending’他說，表演不僅僅是 假裝 成某個人，它還包括文本和語言的體現(xiàn)。 （4）考查主旨大意。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科研類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。Some things should just be mon knowledge by now. The Earth isn39。t grow after you die. The holes at the top of Bic biro pens are there so that, if you swallow one accidentally, you can still breathe and won39。s debatable whether that last one there is mon knowledge or not. A quick Google search of the fact, rewritten as a question, shows articles addressing this point going back several years, with the latest (re)appearing just this week over on ScienceAlert. We suppose it39。If you jump over to Bic39。 pens have a hole in their cap is to prevent the cap from pletely obstructing the airway if accidentally breathed in. This is requested by the international safety standards ISO11540, except for in cases where the cap is considered too large to be a choking risk. s rather lovely of them. In appreciation of their want to not kill off their more clumsy customers, we thought we39。The best part of the Bic site, however, is this rather curious fact: 100 percent of pen balls are made through a highlycontrolled process. As opposed to a highly uncontrolled process, involving explosions and bouncy castles and total chaos, we suppose.（1）Why does the author mention the case of Yellowstone? A.B.To pare the two situations.To emphasize the importance of safety.（2）What does the underlined word obstructing in paragraph 2 mean?

A.B.C.D.這真是粗心使用者的生命通道。畢克筆的筆帽上留一個小孔的原因，且這個問題會被偶爾問到，就像如果你用核武器攻擊黃石公園會發(fā)生什么事這個問題一樣，作者是在舉例證明他的觀點，故選B。此處意為當(dāng)使用者不慎把筆帽吞下時，筆帽上的小孔就是為了阻止筆帽完全阻塞氣管而引起窒息，故選A。根據(jù)第三段中的In fact, in 2018, 7,250 kilometers (4,505 miles) of writing tests on such pens were carried out on ballpoint pens, gel pens(中性筆), and rollers to make sure they worked to the highest standard.可知，舉行書寫測試的目的是為了確保筆能夠達(dá)到最高的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，故選B。根據(jù)第一段中的Some things should just be mon knowledge by now. The Earth isn39。t grow after you die. 和第三段中的That39。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。NASA has a new job listing, and it39。A mission to Mars is no laughing matter. On average, the red planet is 140 million miles (225 million kilometers) away from Earth. A trip there would take around eight months in a small spacecraft. And Mars has a munications delay of 20 minutes. This means that astronauts will have to wait 20 minutes for a reply, when an emergency happens. re living with others in a confined space for a long period of time, such as on a mission to Mars, problems are likely to occur, Jeffrey Johnson, a scientist at the University of Florida, told The Guardian. In stressful situations, perhaps humor is a way to know we aren39。There are other examples of team clowns. One example is the journey to the South Pole led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. It was a difficult journey full of danger. Adolf Lindstrom, a cook at Amundsen39。But if you39。t happen. t be enough to land somebody the job, Johnson said.
