题目

Scientists and others in the psychological, sociological fields have asserted that humans use maybe 0.01 to 0.10 percent of our brain. Here is an easier way of understanding what that means.First let us make it clear that mechanically you use 100 percent of your brain. Enhancing usage to its maximum is another subject. So when someone puts a percentage of use on the brain they do not mean that the other, say 90 percent, is not active or useless.Think of it this way. Let’s say your brain is a stereo (立体声音响). When you are using your stereo you are using 100 percent of it. If the volume knob (旋钮) is set at a 2 level, then you are not getting the same usage when compared to turning the volume knob to 8 or 10.So what scientists are trying to get across to us is we have a lot more room in our cranium (头盖骨) to fill. We have more volume to boost. We are not even close to tapping our potential of brain power.There is no physical data to determine in clear evidence the amount of usage the human brain has. However, there has been data that has shown that people have increased their brain power. Then there are the people who show mental abilities that are very rare. Some people with autism (自闭症), for example, have had the ability to calculate very high levels of math equations (方程式) without ever having learned how.There are also more and more variables we are learning about the brain. Studies suggest that even though our brain is one as a whole, we evidently get production out of separate parts of the brain for different mental tasks. We have all heard of the right brain/left brain references for example.So regardless of how you want to interpret the brain usage by percentage, the fact is that it is the most amazing gift we have. A computer is nothing compared to the human brain. And we can build upon our ability to get more out of it. So turn up the volume button and get the brain working.1. What is the problem mainly talked about in this passage?A) More than 90 percent of our brain is not active.B) More than 90 percent of our brain is not suitable for use.C) More than 90 percent of our brain is not used to the maximum. D) More than 90 percent of our brain use is not known to scientists.2. In Paragraph 3, the author’s main purpose is to _________.A) give us instructions about how to better use a stereoB) show the difference between volume levels in a stereoC) make us understand why we are not fully using our brains D) determine how loud music affects the functions of our brains3. What do the scientists mean by “we have a lot more room in our cranium to fill” in Paragraph 4?A) There is still some space for the brain to grow.B) There is still some potential in human brains to explore. C) We still have a long way to go in the study of human brains.D) We still have different opinions about the proper use of our brain.4. What does the author try to show with the example of people with autism?A) The brain has an unlimited amount of usage.B) Some people may have special mental abilities. C) The brain has different parts to perform different tasks.D) Some people may increase their brain power through learning.5. What does the author encourage the reader to do in the last paragraph?A) Listen to more music.B) Learn more about our brains.C) Improve our computer skills.D) Make more use of our brains.

题目解答

答案

1、答案:C2、答案:C3、答案:B4、答案:B5、答案:D

解析

本文围绕“人类大脑使用比例”这一话题展开,旨在纠正对大脑未充分使用的误解,并鼓励读者开发大脑潜能。

1. 题目分析:文章主要讨论的问题是什么?

文章开篇提到“人类仅使用0.01%-0.10%的大脑”这一说法,随后澄清:机械上人类100%使用大脑,但未使用的部分并非不活跃,而是未达到最大使用量(如立体声音响的音量旋钮未开到最大)。核心问题是“大脑未被充分利用至最大潜能。

  • A:“90%大脑不活跃”与文意相反(未使用≠不活跃);
  • B:“90%不适合使用”无依据
  • C:“90%未被最大化使用”符合文意
  • D:“90%使用情况未知”非主要问题

2. 题目分析:第3段作者的主要目的?

第3段用“立体声音响”类比:即使开着音响(100%使用),音量2和8/10的使用效果不同,类比说明大脑虽100%活跃,但未达到最大使用量。

  • A:“指导使用音响”非目的
  • B:“比较音量差异”是手段,非目的
  • C:“解释为何未充分使用大脑”符合类比意图
  • D:“音乐音量影响大脑功能”未提及

3. 题目分析:“头盖骨里有更多空间可填充”的含义?

结合上下文,科学家认为人类未接近大脑潜能(“We are not even close to tapping our potential of brain power”),“空间可填充”比喻大脑潜能有待探索。

  • A:“大脑有生长空间”(物理生长)非文意
  • B:“大脑潜能待探索”符合比喻义
  • C:“大脑研究任重道远”偏离“个人大脑使用”主题
  • D:“对大脑使用分歧”未提及

4. 题目分析:自闭症患者例子说明什么?

例子提到“自闭症患者能计算高阶数学方程却未学过”,说明某些人有罕见的特殊心智能力,支撑“人类大脑有未开发潜能”的观点。

  • A:“大脑使用无上限”绝对化
  • B:“某些人有特殊心智能力”符合例子意图
  • C:“大脑不同脑区负责不同任务”是后文另一点,非此例目的
  • D:“通过学习提升脑力”与例子(未学习却有能力)矛盾

5. 题目分析:最后一段作者鼓励读者做什么?

结尾明确:“turn up the volume button and get the brain working”(调大音量,让大脑工作),即更多使用大脑。

  • A:“听更多音乐”字面理解,非比喻义
  • B:“了解大脑”非直接鼓励内容
  • C:“改进电脑”无关
  • D:“更多使用大脑”符合文意

  • Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A. When the food is likely to cause health problems or death.B. When there are too many complaints from customers.C. When the food problem lasts for five years.D. When the product quality is below standard.

  • The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

  • Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked. The way a meal is cooked and served is most important and an (52) served meal will often improve a child’s appetite. Never ask a child whether he likes or dislikes a food and never (53) likes and dislikes in front of him or allow anybody else to do so. If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys. Under (60) circumstances must a child be coaxed or forced to eat.55()。A. withB. asC. overD. for

  • The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
