【题目】 It should be easy for you to recognize faces of your family and friends. But can you remember faces that you’ve only seen once? You might think it is very difficult.
【1】 They are the so-called “super recognizers”, who can remember at least 80 percent of the faces they’ve seen. 【2】 But studies show that at least one person in every recognizer, reported the Daily Mail.
Bournemouth University in the UK recently carried out research trying to find out recognizers have a different way to process feces. They have found that when these people look a faces, they spend more time looking at the person’s nose. 【3】 Their super ability is limited only to face recognition.
【4】 Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you present pairs of feces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.
In fact, many super recognizers say they are very good at “spotting” (发现) faces in a crowd. These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas. 【5】 Super recognizers could help match faces in CCTV footage (闭路电视镜头). They could also help police spot known troublemakers, bad people or even missing people in crowds.
A. However, studies have found a small number of people have amazing face recognition skills.
B. Researchers have tried to find how certain people are so good at recognizing faces.
C. It is also found that these people are not particularly smarter than others.
D. It is unknown how many people truly have these skills.
E. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint.
F. The research also found that in general these super recognizers have a good memory.
G. Another important finding is that there are subtypes of super recognition.
【答案】
【1】A
【2】D
【3】C
【4】G
【5】E
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现,有少数人有惊人的面部识别技能,他们能记得至少80%他们见过的面孔。但他们的超能力仅限于识别面孔,他们并不是比其他人聪明。
【1】根据下文“They are the so-called “super recognizers”, who can remember at least 80 percent of the faces they’ve seen.”他们就是所谓的“超级识别者”,他们记得至少80%他们见过的面孔。由此可知,A项(However, studies have found a small number of people have amazing face recognition skills.)然而,研究发现,有少数人有惊人的面部识别功能。是对下文的“超级识别者”的解释。故A符合题意,故选A。
【2】根据下文“But studies show that at least one person in every recognizer, reported the Daily Mail.”研究表明,每50个人中至少有一个人是超级识别者。句中的But是对上文的转折,故D项(It is unknown how many people truly have these skills.)现在还不知道有多少人真正拥有这些技能,与下文构成转折关系。故D符合题意。故选D。
【3】根据下文“Their super ability is limited only to face recognition.”他们的超能力仅限于识别面孔,由此可知,他们并不是比别人聪明。故C项(It is also found that these people are not particularly smarter than others.)承上启下,符合题意。故选C。
【4】根据下文“Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you present pairs of feces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.” 一些超级识别者永远不会忘记面孔。但对一些人来说,如果你同时给他们呈现两张面孔,他们可以很快决定是同一个人的脸还是两个不同的人的脸。由此可知,这是上文研究的另一个发现。故G项(Another important finding is that there are subtypes of super recognition.)是对这一段的内容的总结。故G符合题意。故选G。
【5】根据上文“These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas.”可知,这些超级识别的亚型可以用于生活的许多领域。故E项(For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint.)这些技能在护照检查站很有用。是对上文的内容的具体阐释。故E项承上启下,符合题意。故选E。
七选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系,理解句子之间、段落之间的关系,对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握。所以懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构对解题很有用。比如本题第4小题,根据下文“Some super recognizers never forget faces. But for some, if you present pairs of feces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.” 一些超级识别者永远不会忘记面孔。但对一些人来说,如果你同时给他们呈现两张面孔,他们可以很快决定是同一个人的脸还是两个不同的人的脸。由此可知,这是上文研究的另一个发现。故G项(Another important finding is that there are subtypes of super recognition.)是对这一段的内容的总结。故G符合题意。故选G。

When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before.

It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size.
