考生需要根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,概括歸納,從而選出正確答案。 You39。 Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found where that soundediting process occurs in the brain — in the auditory cortex (聽覺(jué)皮層) just behind the ear, not in areas of higher thought. The auditory cortex boosts some sounds and turns down others so that when the signal reaches the higher brain, “it39。 These findings, published in the journal Nature last week, explain why people aren39。t.t focusing on. The more attention a task demands, the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision. Images land on our retinas (視網(wǎng)膜) and are either boosted or played down in the visual cortex before being passed to the brain, just as the auditory cortex filters sounds, as shown in the Nature study last week. “It39。 Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that drivers talking on handsfree cellphones are just as influenced as those on handsheld phones because it is the conversation, not the device, that is distracting their attention.

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(xùn)練自己對(duì)重要的事情付出格外的注意力──就像警察學(xué)習(xí)掃描人群的面孔,以及樂(lè)團(tuán)指揮可以在整個(gè)樂(lè)團(tuán)中聽到每件樂(lè)器的聲音??芍疚牡哪康氖恰皺z查和評(píng)估”,故選D。6.閱讀理解t say a word to him,and everything will be OK. Did my brother receive you properly? asked the monk.s a great theologian! exclaimed the theologian with great enthusiasm. We had a passionate conversation, replied the scholar. We municated professionally by means of gestures. I showed him one finger and he replied by showing me two. Logically, I answered with three fingers and then he astonished me by raising a closed fist, ending the debate. With one finger, I implied the unity of Buddha. With two fingers, he expanded my point of view by reminding me that Buddha was inseparable from his theory. Delighted by the reply, with three fingers I expressed: Buddha and his theory in the world. Then he suggested a wonderful response, showing me his fist: Buddha, his theory and the world, all together as one whole. So how did it go earlier with the theologian? he asked. he show me one finger emphasizing that I have but one eye. Not wanting to fall into the conflict, I showed that he was fortunate enough to have two eyes.

Now, a new study by Boston39。Jeffrey Grossman, who led the research, was not trying to find the link between sleep and grades when he handed out Fitbits to the 100 students in his introduction to SolidState Chemistry class. Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wristworn device which, tracks a person39。However, the study, published in the journal “Science Learning” on October 1, 2019, discovered a surprising insight. Then was a straightline relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and his/her grade on the 11 quizzes, three midterms, and the final exam administered during the semester. s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most. t everything.”(1)What is the new finding about sleep? 39。s health. less may cause obesity. too much is dangerous. sleep leads to better grades.(2)What does the underlined word Fitbits in paragraph 2 refer to? devices.. equipment..(3)Which of the following best describes the final result the new study? ....(4)What will benefit students39。好的睡眠質(zhì)量是提高學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)的關(guān)鍵。根據(jù)第一段中的“Now, a new study by Boston39。故選D。根據(jù)第二段中的“Instead, the professor of Computational Materials Science hoped the popular wristworn device which tracks a person39。可知Fitbits指的是一種可以穿戴的設(shè)備。 (3)考查推理判斷。故選D。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Instead, it39。t everything.”什么時(shí)候睡覺(jué)很重要。如果你在2點(diǎn)以后睡覺(jué),即使你
