4、t, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. Then they were told there was a delay. Some were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch first. So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other h

5、alf had just eaten.刚吃过（=non-hungry）（第2题答案出处）For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer screen. One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about l/300th of a second 三百分之一秒each. They flashed at so small a size that the students could only consciously有意识的perceive感知.（第4题答案出处1） A quarte

7、le saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food- related words. Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception ,not in thinking processes, Radel says.“This is something great to me. Humans can really p

From the experiment, I know that our brain can really be at the disposal 支配of our motives 动机and needs,” Radel says.（第3题答案出处）通过标志词“new”找到本文中心句-比起那些刚刚用过餐的人，饥饿的人能更清晰地看到与食品有关的词。结合标题，推测本文以“视觉与感知食物”为线索展开论述练习：1.What does the new study mentioned in

9、Paragraph 1 find? -对错类A Hungry people see every word more clearly than ordinary people.B Hungry people are always thinking of food-related words.C Hungry people are more sensitive 敏感的to food-related words than stomach-full people吃饱的人.D Hungry people do not have lower-level of thinking process.选项A、B含

10、绝对性词，优先排除。选项C是原文中心句的同义表述。clearly、sensitive意思相近，people whove just eaten=stomach-full people。2.Why was there a delay on the day of the experiment? -细节类A Because hungry people needed time to fill their stomach.B Because Radel wanted to create two groups of testees, hungry and non-hungry.不饿的C Because no

11、on was not the right time for any experiment.D Because Radel needed time to select participants in terms of body mass index.选项A含绝对性词，不列入答案重点排查范围。第三段最后一句话中，just eaten= non-hungry，选项B是答案。3.What does the writer want to tell us? -态度观点类A Humans senses arent just delivering a strict view of whats going on

12、 in the world.B Whats perceived by our senses affects our way of thinking.C Human brains can really be at the disposal of our motives and needs.D Thinking processes guarantee the normal functions of our senses.由提问标志词“writer”可猜出此题为态度观点类题型。一般答案会出现文章最后一段的最后一两句话中，选项C含“can可能”，是答案的概率高，排查后发现该选项与最后一句话完全一致。4

17、gists have known for decades that whats going on, inside our head affects our senses. 数十年以来，心理学家已经知道我们的心理活动直接影响到我们的视觉。For example, poorer children think coins are larger than they are, and hungry people think pictures of food are brighter. 例如，贫穷的孩子看到的硬币比实际的要大；饥饿的人看到的食物图片更明亮。 Remi Radel of University

18、 of Nice Sophia-Antipolis，France，wanted to investigate how this happens. Does it happen right away as the brain receives signals from the eyes or a little later as the brains high-level thinking processes get involved. 法国的尼斯索菲亚安提波利斯大学试图调查这一现象：发生这种情况的时间是在大脑从眼睛接收到视觉信号的即时还是稍后些，这时高级思维活动已经介入了。Radel recru

19、ited 42 students with a normal body mass index. 雷戴尔招募了健康指数正常的42位学生作为被试者。 On the day of his or her test, each student was told to arrive at the lab at noon after three or four hours of not eating. 在测试的当天，每个学生被告知在中午到达实验室，这时距上一次的用餐时间有34个小时。Then they were told there was a delay. 等他们到达实验室时，他们被告知实验时间有延迟。S

20、ome were told to come back in 10 minutes; others were given an hour to get lunch first. 一半学生被告知十分钟后再回来;其余的给1个小时的时间先吃午饭。So half the students were hungry when they did the experiment and the other half had just eaten. 所以一半学生饿着肚子，另一半学生饱腹参加了此次实验。For the experiment, the participant looked at a computer s

21、creen. 实验的步骤如下：要求被试者看电脑屏幕。One by one, 80 words flashed on the screen for about l/300th of a second each. 屏幕上的80个字以1/300秒的频率闪动。They flashed at so small a size that the students could only consciously perceive. 由于字体非常之小，被试者只能凭感觉捕捉到字形。A quarter of the words were food-related. 1/4的字是与食物有关的。 After each w

22、ord，each person was asked how bright the word was and asked to choose which of two words theyd seen a food-related word like cake or a neutral word like boat. Each word appeared too briefly for the participant to really read it. 每闪动一个字，被试者回答字体的亮度并选择看到的是哪类词：一类是和食物有关的词，比如“蛋糕”；一类是中性词，比如“船”。由于每个词的闪动在瞬间完

23、成，被试者根本看不清楚那个词是什么。Hungry people saw the food-related words as brighter and were better at identifying food- related words. 饥饿的人看到与食物有关的词更明亮，且能更好地辨认出与食物有关的词。Because the word appeared too quickly for them to be reliably seen, this means that the difference is in perception ,not in thinking processes,

24、Radel says. 由于每个词的闪动太快，其实那些被试者根本不会确切地看到什么，这就说明：他们只是感觉不同，根本没经过思考。雷戴尔给出了这样的解释。“This is something great to me. 雷戴尔说：“这就是重点所在。Humans can really perceive what they need or what they strive for. 人类可以真正感知到自身的需要或者为之奋斗的目标。From the experiment, I know that our brain can really be at the disposal of our motives

25、 and needs,” Radel says. 该实验使我了解这样的事实，即我们的大脑是受我们的动机和需要所支配的。”第十九篇 Musical音乐的 Robot机器人 Companion伴侣 Enhances提升 Listener听众 Experience体验Shimi, a musical companion developed开发by Georgia Techs技术学院Center中心for Music Technology技术, recommends songs, dances to the beat and keeps the music pumping based on基于 lis
