Paying more for a ticket to see a film in 3D is the cause of annoyance of many a cinema-goer's life.But there may be a(n) (41)H to doing so,as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning in a similar way to brain-training tests.
The research was led by neuroscientist(神经科学家) Dr Patrick Fagan from Goldsmiths University in London.More than 100 people took part in the experiment,where participants watched Disney film Big Hero 6in either(42)A type or RealD 3D.They also carried out a brain-training-style test before and after seeing a part from the film.The test covered memory,reaction time and cognitive (认知的) function,and the results were later(43)I.
According to the research,participants(44)B a 23 percent increase in cognitive processing,as well as an 11percent increase in reaction time.
Dr Fagan said that the results showed enough of an improvement in brain function to suggest that 3D could play a part in improving brain (45)G in the future."These findings are more significant than you might think,"he said."It is a fact that people are living longer and there is a(n)(46)J decline in cognitive brain function in old age which can damage future quality of life.There has never been a better time to look at ways to improve brain function.The initial results of this study indicate that 3D films may(47)C play a role in slowing this decline."
A second part of the experiment involved those watching the film being fitted with headsets(耳机) that(48)K brain activity and this too showed heightened activity when watching 3D.According to the results,participants were seven percent more engaged with what they were watching,adding to the argument that 3D movies are more like watching real-life-something."A seven percent rise in emotional engagement is (49)E remarkable.Watching in 3D gives the viewer such an enriched and quality experience,as these results show,"he said."In evolutionary(50)F,the results of both parts of the test certainly make sense.3D films are more likely to heighten the senses and cause emotional arousal-this,in turn,makes the brain run at quicker speeds,"Dr Fagan added.
分析 文章介绍了一项研究成果.3D电影对人的大脑有锻炼的作用.研究通过实验发现,通过观看3D电影,人的大脑在认知和反应方面的功能可以得到提高,并且可以延缓老年人大脑功能的衰退.
解答 1.H 句中as a study has claimed that 3D films exercise the brain表达的是观看3D电影的好处,可以知道前面说的是这样做的好处benefit.
2.A 句中either…or…要么…要么…,用来连接两个表示选择关系的对象,后面是Real 3D,前面也应该是某种类型,standard type标志类型的电影.
3.I 句中The test covered memory,reaction time and cognitive (认知的) function表达测试的内容,得出的结果要进行比较compare;句中的results是比较的对象,位于句首,要用被动语态.
4.B 句意表达的是根据这项研究的要求,参与测试的人要体验experience认知过程和反应时间;文章讲述的是过去的事实,要用一般过去时态.
5.G 文章第一段有3D films exercise the brain and improve short-term functioning3D电影可以锻炼大脑,通过大脑的功能.
6.J 句意表达的是事实表明年纪大了,大脑的认知功能会有明显的下降.
7.C 句意表达的是研究表明3D电影可能在延缓这种认知下降中起到重要作用.
8.K 句意表达的是通过佩戴耳机,这种耳机可以扫描参与者在观看电影时大脑的活动.
9.E 句中是用来修饰形容词remarkable,用副词extremely表示强调的语气.
10.F 短语搭配.in evolutionary terms从进化论的角度而言.
点评 语法填空题是考查学生的语言运用能力.解题时,要在理解文章的基础上,灵活运用语法知识,如词性,时态,名词单复数,连接词,代词,冠词等判断空白处应填写的内容.答完后,还要通读全文,核对所填单词形式是否正确,是否符合语境.
