Scientists have recently carried out tests on volunteers to find out which areas in the brain are involved in face recognition． The tests must have been a lot of fun to take part in! The volunteers were_______a photograph of a famous person on a computer and then the face gradually changed into another famous person's． For example a picture of the 1950s film star Marilyn Monroe_______changed into a picture of the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher!

The_______showed that we use three main areas of the brain to identify people's faces． While one section of the brain looks at the physical features such as size and shape of eyes， another part identifies the face as known or unknown．_______， a third part of the brain is checking out the name or other information about the face in our memory． It sounds_______but it seems that human beings can store as many as 10，000faces in their memories and most of us can recognize about ninety per cent of our classmates up to thirty five years after we last saw them!

文章大意：文章講的是我們怎么樣來識別面孔，研究結果表明，我們使用大腦的三個主要區(qū)域來識別人臉。

【1】句意：這似乎是一個很平常的經(jīng)歷”，它引發(fā)了關于我們如何識別面孔的問題。

考查形容詞辨析。根據(jù)所給空前面的句子How many times have you seen someone on TV or in a crowd and had that nagging feeling that you've seen them somewhere before but can quite place them？“有多少次你在電視上或人群中看到某人，有一種揮之不去的感覺，你以前在某個地方見過他們，但卻能很好地識別他們？”結合選項，A.壞的；B.平常的；C.不尋常的；D.令人激動的，推測意思是“這似乎是一個很平常的經(jīng)歷”，它引發(fā)了關于我們如何識別面孔的問題”。故答案選B。

【2】句意：志愿者們被展示在電腦上看一位名人的照片。

考查動詞辨析。根據(jù)所給空后面的a photograph of a famous person on a computer，結合選項，A.被展示看；B.慢地；C.慢地；D.突然地，推測意思是“志愿者們被展示在電腦上看一位名人的照片”。故答案選A。

【3】句意：例如，一張20世紀50年代電影明星瑪麗蓮·夢露的照片被換成了英國首相瑪格麗特·撒切爾的照片！

根據(jù)所給空前面的句子then the face gradually changed into another famous person's可知，時態(tài)是一般過去時且主語是a picture of the 1950s film star Marilyn Monroe（名詞單數(shù)），故答案選A。

【4】句意：結果表明，我們使用大腦的三個主要區(qū)域來識別人臉。

考查名詞辨析，根據(jù)The tests must have been a lot of fun to take part in! “參加這次考試一定很有趣！”結合選項，A.調查；B.情況；C.改變；D.結果。推測意思是“結果表明，我們使用大腦的三個主要區(qū)域來識別人臉”。故答案選D。

【5】句意：同時，大腦的第三部分是檢查我們記憶中面孔的名稱或其他信息。

根據(jù)第三段第三、四行a third part of the brain is checking out the name or other information about the face in our memory，結合選項，A.另外；B.暫時；C.結果；D.同時，推測意思是“同時，大腦的第三部分是檢查我們記憶中面孔的名稱或其他信息”。故答案選D。

【6】句意：它聽起來很驚訝，但人類似乎可以在他們的記憶中儲存多達10000張面孔。

根據(jù)所給空后面的句子but it seems that human beings can store as many as 10，000faces in their memories，結合選項，A.愚蠢的，B.令人驚訝的 C.嚴重的，D.相似的，推測意思是“它聽起來很驚訝，但人類似乎可以在他們的記憶中儲存多達10000張面孔”。故答案選B

做完型填空時，首先要通讀課文，明白主旨大意，然后再做題。做完型時要記住“瞻前顧后想結果”這一原則，根據(jù)上下文以及語境做題，切忌主觀臆斷。另外，平時還要多多積累詞匯。完型填空常考名詞、動詞、形容詞和副詞等辨析。做詞義辨析題時，首先要確認四個選項的含義，然后分析語境和邏輯關系，確定答案。

例如第5題，首先確定四個選項含義，A.另外；B.暫時；C.結果；D.同時，根據(jù)第三段第三、四行a third part of the brain is checking out the name or other information about the face in our memory，可知，應該是同時，故答案選D。
