Question

【題目】Look at the center circles of Diagram（圖）A and Diagram B. Which of the centre circles looks larger?

Take a first look and you probably think that the centre circle in Diagram A is smaller than that in Diagram B. In fact, they are exactly the same size.

Then look at the picture on the left. What do you see? A vase? Or two faces？Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time.

“What’s happening? Is something wrong with my eyes?” You may wonder at what you see. Don’t worry. Here is how it goes：

When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret（解讀）the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it “Visual illusion（視覺錯(cuò)誤）.

Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I shrunk the kids just make use of illusions.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章講述的是在某種情況下，同樣尺寸的東西看起來確實(shí)不一樣的，人們把這稱作視覺錯(cuò)誤。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret (解讀) the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way.可知，圖一中間的圓形看起來比圖二中間的圓形要小，是因?yàn)槲覀兊拇竽X錯(cuò)誤的解讀了這個(gè)信息。故選C

【2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章可知，我們的眼睛先看東西，然后眼睛看到的信息發(fā)送給大腦，大腦解讀了這些信息之后，告訴我們看到了什么。故選C。

【3】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual.可知，電影制作商利用錯(cuò)覺效果使演員看起來與平時(shí)的身材不同。故選D。

【4】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第五段給我們解釋了為什么同樣尺寸的東西看起來不一樣的原因。故選C。

【5】B主旨大意題。這篇文章主要講述的是為什么同樣大小的東西會看起來不一樣。所以，很可能是來自一本科學(xué)書。故選B。
