Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选页中有两项为多余选项。

Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology, Nobel prize winners, discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.

The left side of the brain controls language and number and it analyses and reasons. ___【1】_ It controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is also the right side of our brain which daydreams.

Leonardo da Vinci was the great painter and sculptor. He was also an architect, a scientist and an inventor! ____【2】___ When he invented machines he used both his imaginative ability and his analytical ability.

___【3】_ Albert Einstein enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Indeed, Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer's day while sitting on a hill. He imagined that he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve(弯曲).___ 【4】_ He then used the left side of his brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.

Traditional education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. Why don' t we give more value to visual thinking? Why jump on one foot if we have two perfectly good legs !

___【5】_ We need to use our imagination to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.

A. We benefit by thinking creatively.

B. We all need both sides of our brain.

C. He got this idea by using his imagination.

D. Great scientists and great artists are similar.

E. He was considered crazy for his strange ideas.

F. He used both sides of his brain within each activity.

G. The right side controls our imagination and our understanding of space.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】F

【3】D

【4】C

【5】B

【解析】

试题分析: 科学研究发现人类的大脑有两面，每一面都有不同的工作要做。左侧大脑控制语言和号码，分析、推理。右侧大脑控制着音乐、韵律感和想象力。做任何一件事都要用到这两侧的大脑。

【1】考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前一句的意思是：人的大脑分为左右两部分，功能不同。左侧大脑控制语言和数字，它做分析和推理。空后一句的意思是：它控制着我们对音乐的欣赏和我们的韵律感。所以选G（右脑负责我们的想象力和多空间的理解力）与前后一致 。

【2】考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前一句的意思是：达 · 芬奇是伟大的画家和雕塑家。他也是一名建筑师、 一名科学家和发明家！空后一句的意思是：当他发明机器时，他既用到他富有想象力又用到他的分析能力。所以选F（在做每个活动时都用到大脑的两侧。）与前后一致 。

【3】考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前提到达芬奇是伟大的艺术家，空后提到：伟大的科学家阿尔伯特 · 爱因斯坦喜欢艺术，演奏小提琴和帆船运动。所以选D项（伟大的科学家和伟大的艺术家是相似的。）前后意思一致。

【4】考查上下文的语境理解能力。空前提到，爱因斯坦说过他的科学发现源于他的想象力，而不是分析、 推理和语言。据说爱因斯坦在一个夏日坐在一座小山上。他想象着他骑上阳光向着遥远的宇宙。然后他发现他已经回到太阳。所以，他意识到宇宙必须弯曲。所以选C（他是用他的想象力来得到他的想法的。）前后意思一致。

【5】考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据本段的中心内容，和空后提到：我们需要想象力也需要逻辑分析能力可知，选B(大脑的左右两侧我们都需要。) 意思一致。
