31、another campfire. For four days we do not see another human being. We are occupied with the things that mix fear with joy.

36、her end, and saws (锯) it in half. But when she finally jumps out of the box, the woman is unharmed.This trick was introduced nearly a century ago. It has been around for some time, but it never goes wrong. Why is it so successful? The answer is simple: the human mind is easily fooled.Our brain proce

37、sses the world around us based on information that sensory organs, including the eyes, pick up. For instance, when we see a cow or a horse standing behind a tree, we automatically “fill in” the part of the animals body that is hidden from our sight. “So the brain is taking this kind of very sparse (

38、匮乏的) information about the world and its generating this rich world by filling in information,” Stephen Macknik, a scientist at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona, US, told Science magazine.But since our brains are filling in the gaps, sometimes they get it wrong. They tend to be driven by

39、 our previous experiences and we expect things to go as they have in the past even if sometimes they do not.This tendency explains magicians success in fooling people with well-known coin tricks. For example, when you see a magician throw a coin up and down in one hand and then fake a coin thrown to

40、 the other hand, you would naturally believe that the coin is in the other hand.Apart from the information gaps, magicians also use the “blind spots” theory when doing their shows.The most well-known experiment demonstrating this theory is called the “invisible gorilla (大猩猩)”, in which volunteers wa

41、tch a video of two basketball teams. They are asked to count how many times the teams wearing white shirts pass the ball. In the meantime, a person dressed as a gorilla walks onto the court. But shockingly, half of the viewers dont notice the gorilla, even when they appear to be looking directly at

42、it.Magicians employ this tactic (招数), what they call “misdirection”, in almost every one of their acts. They direct our attention somewhere else using comedy and music, which can make us miss stuff during the performance.1、The magic trick is mentioned in the first paragraph to _.Aintroduce the steps

BUnimportant.CUnpleasant. DUnprepared.4、During the “invisible gorilla” experiment, people watc

45、hing the video ignore the “gorilla” because _.Athey dont look directly at itBthey are not interested in itCthey are too focused on countingDthey consider it to be a distraction5、Why do magicians usually use comedy and music when they play magic tricks?ATo get viewers to stay focused on the show.BTo

46、make the show more fun and exciting.CTo draw viewers attention away from a secret action.DTo create information gaps between magicians and viewers.25（10分） Humans and gorillas shared evolution for 23 million years. Their paths separated only six million years ago. Research on how gorillas communicate

47、 can help us understand human language development.Understanding how the brain works helps us see a connection between language development and non-verbal signs. These signs or movements include things like the way we move our hands or bodies or the different expressions our faces have in different

48、social situations. A new study on gorillas showed that the right side of the body is controlled by the left part of the brain and it is also the location for language development.Two cameras were used to film all of one apes movements. One of the first results was that gorillas use their right hands

49、 more when they are doing actions with their heads or mouths at the same time. This shows that there is a connection between how our brain works and the reason we use one side of our body more than the other. In addition, we can use the results of the study and our knowledge about brains to help us

50、understand more about how language first developed in humans.Dr Forrester, who did the study, says the results can be useful in other ways, such as understanding language development in children. For example, some children have serious illness called “autism” which can stop them communicating normal

51、ly with people. It might be possible to use the same study method to find out which children have this illness when they are very young. Doctors will then be able to start treatment early.1、Which of the following may have a connection with right-handedness?ACommunication.BIntelligence.CSocial positi

52、on.DSocial success.2、What does the underlined word “it” refer to?AThe right side of the body.BThe mouth.CThe left part of the brain.DThe front part of the head.3、Who might benefit most from the results of the study?APhotographers of gorillas.BZoo keepers.CResearchers on movement.DChildren with illne
