     Ask Dr .Jeffers This month Dr. Jeffers is answering questions about the human brain and how it works.
    Dear Dr. Jeffers,  
         One of my colleagues, Felix Moeller, told me that scientists are learning to use computer to 'read minds'. Is there any truth to this story? -Jane Leon, New York, USA Dear Ms. Leon, Well, a lot of research is
    being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer
    programs haven't been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment, test subjects(受试者)were
    connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen. They were then asked to choose
    between adding or subtracting(减)the two numbers. Using this method, researchers were able to follow
    brain processes and make the correct assumptions(假设)70 percent of the time. It's not quite mind reading, but it's certainly a first step. -Dr. J.
    Dear Dr. Jeffers,
        My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle (胳肢)him until he laughs
    uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn't do it. Why not?
    -Glenn Lewis, Vancouver, Canada
    Dear Mr. Lewis,
          It's because of how the brain works. The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what
    to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction
    when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you don't notice how your shoulder feels while you're
    walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder,
    you may jump in fear. It's that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction.
    -Dr. J.

    1.What can we learn from the answer to the first question?
    A. Some equipment is able to read human minds.
    B. Test subjects have been used to make decisions.
    C. Some progress has been made in mind reading.
    D. Computer programs can copy brain processes.
    2. People laugh when tickled by others because the feeling is _______.
    A. uncomfortable
    B. expected
    C. comfortable
    D. unexpected
    3.Who has got a little child according to the text?
    A. Mr. Lewis
    B. Ms. Leon
    C. Mr. Moeller
    D. Dr. Jeffers
    4. According to the text, Jeffers is probably _______.

日常生活类阅读

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念:

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。


日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。   
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:   
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。   
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。   
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。   
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
