题目解答
答案
【文章大意】文章主要介绍了由于每个人的感知不同,不同的人对同一件事情看法也会不同。
1.【答案】B
【解析】题干问:看和感知是?根据第一段最后一句Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives( 感知 ) something different about it.每个人都看到同样的场景,但每个人对它的感知不同。可知看和感知是两个单独的行动。A同样的行动;B两个单独的行动;C两个动作完全靠眼睛来完成;D在不同时间发生的几个动作。选B。
2.【答案】D
【解析】题干问:感知是一种发生什么的行为?根据文章第二段第一句Perceiving goes on in our minds.感知是在我们的头脑中进行的。以及最后一句For perception is the mind's explanation of what the senses-in this case our eyes-tell us.因为知觉是心灵对感官——在这里是我们的眼睛——告诉我们的东西的解释。可知感知包括我们的感官告诉我们的和我们的头脑认为的。A在我们的眼睛里;B只有在我们非常努力地思考某件事的时候。C只有在心理学家的指导下;D在每个人的心里。选D。
3.【答案】D
【解析】题干问:人们对同一场景感知不同是因为什么?根据第二段提到的Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket.Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the crossing. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children. For perception is the mind's explanation of what the senses-in this case our eyes-tell us.感知是在我们的头脑中进行的。在三个向窗外看的人当中,有人会说他看到一个警察给一个驾车者开了一张罚单。另一个人可能会说,他在十字路口看到了高峰时间的交通堵塞。第三个可能会告诉你,他看到一个女人试图带着四个孩子过马路。因为知觉是心灵对感官——在这里是我们的眼睛——告诉我们的东西的解释。可知是因为眼睛看到的不同。A他们来自不同的国家;B他们在一些事情上意见不一致;C有些人的视力更好;D这些都不是。选D。
4.【答案】A
【解析】题干问:心理学家通过什么研究感知?根据最后一段第一句 Many psychologists today are working to try to decide just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him.Using a scientific method, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. 如今,许多心理学家都在努力研究一个人是如何体验或感知他周围的世界的。这些心理学家利用科学的方法设置了实验,在实验中他们可以控制所有的因素。可知心理学家通过实验进行研究。A设置许多实验;B问对方他们看到了什么;C望着窗外;D研究人们的眼睛。选A。
5.【答案】B
【解析】题干问:这篇文章最好的题目是什么?通读整篇文字可知由于每个人的感知不同,所以看到同样的事物,看法也不同。A我们如何看;B通过科学了解我们的思想;C心理学家认为人们;D如何成为一名实验心理学家。选B。
