47、eally, there seems to be an embarrassment in communicating with deaf people, ”said sophomore Stephen Davis, another deaf student.

She can see her daughters ponytail swing from side to side, but sh
57、e cant see her daughter. Canning is blind, yet moving objects somehow find a way into her perception. Scientists studying her condition say it could reveal secrets about how humans process vision in general. Canning was 29 when a stroke destroyed her entire occipital lobe, the brain region housing t

Nevertheless, “I thought there must be something happening within my brain allowing me to see, ” she says. She went from doctor to doctor
59、 until she met Gordon Dutton, an ophthalmologist(眼科医生)in Glasgow, Scotland.

Canning is one of a handful of people who have been diagnosed with the “Riddoch pheno
60、menon”, the ability to perceive motion while blind to other visual stimulator. Jody Culham, a neuroscientist at Western University, and her colleagues launched a 10-year investigation into Cannings remarkable vision and published the results online. The team confirmed that Canning was able to sense
61、motion and its direction. She could see a hand moving toward her, but she could not tell a thumbs-up from a thumbs-down. She was also able to catch a ball thrown at her. Scans of Cannings head revealed an apple-sized hole where the visual cortex(视觉皮质) should be. But the damage apparently spared the
62、brains motion-processing region, the middle temporal (MT) visual area. “All the credit for Cannings perception must go to an intact MT, ” says Beatrice de Gelder, a neuroscientist at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, who was not involved in the study. The next mystery is how information from
63、 the eyes gets to the MT without traveling through the visual cortex. “I think of the primary visual pathway as a highway. In Milenas case, the highway is a dead end, but there are all these side roads that go to the MT, ” Culham says. “Its got to be one of these indirect routes, but we are not yet
64、sure which one. ” 【文章大意】 本文为科普文。盲人米莱娜坎宁可以看到从咖啡杯中升起的蒸汽, 但不能看到杯子。研究表明移动物体以某种方式进入她的视觉, 这可能揭示了人类如何处理视觉的秘密。 32. Which of the following is Milena Canning most likely to see? A. A photo of steam rising. B. Her daughters ponytail. C. A ball on the desk. D. A moving cup. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第一段中的Canning is blind,
65、 yet moving objects somehow find a way into her perception. 可知, Milena Canning能看见运动中的物体。所以D项正确。干扰项排除: A photo of steam rising“一张蒸汽上升的照片”; Her daughters ponytail“她女儿的马尾辫”; A ball on the desk“桌子上的一个球”, 都属于静止的物体, 所以排除。33. Jody Culhams investigation shows that Canning _. A. just suffers poor visionB. ha
66、s a sense of directionC. has the ability to detect motionD. is blind to visual stimulator【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据题干的Jody Culhams investigation可以定位到第三段中的The team confirmed that Canning was able to sense motion and its direction。由此可知, Canning能感觉物体运动及其方向。故选C项。误解分析: 本题易误选B项。第三段中的The team confirmed that Canning w
67、as able to sense motion and its direction意思是Canning可感知运动物体的行进方向, 并不是她有方向感。34. What do scans of Cannings head show? A. The MT visual area is not damaged. B. The visual cortex has an apple-sized hole. C. Cannings “Riddoch phenomenon” can be cured. D. The brains motion-processing region goes wrong. 【解析
68、】选A。细节理解题。根据题干的scans of Cannings head可以定位到第四段中的But the damage apparently spared the brains motion-processing region。由此可知, 大脑的运动处理区域没有损坏。故选A项。误解分析: 本题易误选B项。第四段中的Scans of Cannings head revealed an apple-sized hole where the visual cortex should be意思是the visual cortex (视觉皮质)所处的地方有一个苹果大小的洞, 而并非视觉皮质有苹果大小
69、的洞。35. From which is the text probably taken? A. A biology textbook. B. A health magazine. C. A research paper. D. An official report. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。文中专家对Milena Canning的现象进行了研究, 揭示人类处理视觉的秘密, 所以文章最可能来自研究报告。故选C项。第二节(共5小题; 每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Imagine there is a
70、glass of water on a table in front of you. It has water in it but it is not full. How do you describe the glass? 36 If you say it is half full, you might be an optimist.

Researchers at Harvard Universitys School of Public Health in Boston did the study. 38 They found that t
72、he optimists had a much lower risk of getting several deadly diseases, including cancer, heart disease, stroke, respiratory(呼吸的) disease and certain types of infections. The researchers published their findings in the American Journal of Epidemiology. 39 Eric Kim is one of the study leaders. He says
73、 there is increasing evidence that strengthening psychological resilience may help prevent disease. Resilience(适应力) is the ability to recover from difficulties or changes. Kim says that these new findings suggest that people should make efforts to increase their resilience and optimism. He says opti
74、mism is connected with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of dealing with difficulties. 40 However, the researchers say that healthy behaviors of optimistic people only partly explain the connection with reduced risk of disease. A. What would you say about the water? B. Do you say it is half ful
75、l or half empty? C. Attitude is very important in our daily life. D. And your attitude about life may be more important to living than you think. E.

76、ing healthy foods and getting enough sleep. G. They compared women with “a general expectation that good things will happen” to women who were less optimistic. 【文章大意】本文为应用文。最近的一项研究表明, 乐观的程度会影响人体健康。乐观的人更倾向于通过锻炼、健康饮食及充足睡眠来照料自己, 因此可能会比悲观的人更长寿。 36. 【解析】选B。根据后两句话提到的“如果你说它是半满的, 那么你可能是一位乐观主义者”和“如果你说它是半空的,
77、你可能是一位悲观主义者”可知, 空白处的内容应为“你会说杯子是半满的还是半空的? ”故B项符合语境。误解分析: 易误选A。误认为A项句子内容是可以接受的, 但空后句子中出现了关键词语half full和half empty, 因此A项的内容较B项太笼统, 不具体, 故A项不符合语境。37. 【解析】选D。根据前面句子中的内容“乐观和悲观代表了你对某一情况或日常生活的总体态度”及句中的关键词语general attitude toward certain situations or to life可知, D项符合语境。38. 【解析】选G。前面句子提到“研究人员做了这项研究”, 文章接下来应该描
78、述研究的情况, 即“他们将乐观的女性和相对悲观的女性进行了对比”, 故G项符合语境。39. 【解析】选E。根据上文出现的关键词Epidemiology可以推断出E项正确, 即“流行病学是关于疾病如何传播与如何控制的研究”。40. 【解析】选F。根据上文内容“他说乐观与更健康的行为和应对困难的更正确的方式有关”可以推断出接下来应该进一步描述乐观主义者的行为表现, 即“乐观主义者更倾向于通过锻炼、健康饮食及充足睡眠来更好地照料自己”。故F项符合题意。第三部分语言运用(共两节, 满分30分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分)阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填

A. longB. endlessC. frequentD. easy【解析】选D。根据下文的“on foot: a tiring multi-day hike”可知, 到那里需要步行且需要花费几天时间。由此可知, 没有火车或公共汽车能让你轻易到达这座城市的废墟。easy“轻易的, 不费力的”符合语境。endless“无止境的, 无数的, 无限的”; frequent“经常发生的, 频繁的”。42.
