20、 believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception(感知能力)of some people, using pic
21、tures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was
22、 larger than the other, and there people were asked to identify the larger one. Fouryearolds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.Next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, we
23、re surrounded by gray circles. Heres where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circlesmaking the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded
24、by even bigger gray circlesso it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they werent fooledthey were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the ot
25、her hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. In order words, they will begin to process the whole pict
26、ure at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, theyre more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.文章大意：“眼见为实”并非真理，在一些视觉测试中，成年人往往会出现视觉判断错误。1Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate_.Achildrens and adults eyesightBpeoples ab
27、ility to see accuratelyCchildrens and adults brainsDthe influence of peoples age答案：B细节理解题。结合第一段和第二段第二句可知，进行这项实验的目的就是检验人们视觉观察的准确性。选B项。2When asked to find the larger circle，_.Achildren at 6 got it wrong 79% of the time with no gray ones aroundBonly adults over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray
28、 ones aroundCchildren at 4 got it right about 79% of the time with two circles alone on a white backgroundDadults got it right most of the time with gray ones around答案：C细节理解题。第三段明确说明了辨别圆圈的正确率，C项正确；由第五段最后两句话可排除B、D两项；A项未提及。3According to the passage, we can know that_.Aa smaller orange circle appears b

30、than_.A4 B6C10 D18答案：B推理判断题。第五段提到4至6岁的孩子辨别效果很好，但6岁以上的孩子辨别能力受到影响。结合第六段第一句可推出答案，即6岁以上的孩子能够识别视觉背景，视觉背景对他们起作用了。5Why are younger children not fooled?ABecause they are smarter than older children and adults.BBecause older people are influenced by their experience.CBecause peoples eyes become weaker as they grow older.DBecause their brain can hardly notice related things together.答案：D推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，随着小孩的成长，他们对图片的整体认知能力的提高导致他们陷入视觉错觉。反之，可推出年幼的孩子这种整体认知能力的缺乏正是他们没有被迷惑的原因，他们还没有辨别视觉背景的能力。故选D项。
