Thinking

·Some scientists claim that we humans are the only living things that are conscious(有意識的)—we alone are aware that we are thinking.

·No one knows how consciousness works—it is one of science’s last great mysteries.

·All your thoughts take place in the cerebrum(大腦皮質(zhì)),which is at the top of your brain,and different kinds of thought are linked to different areas,called association areas.

·Each half of the cerebrum has four rounded ends called lobes(腦葉)—two at the front(frontal and temporal lobes)and two at the back(occipital and parietal lobes).

·The frontal lobe is linked to your personality and it is where you have your bright ideas.

·The temporal lobe is where you hear and understand what people say to you.

·The occipital lobe is where you work out what your eyes see.

·The parietal lobe is where you record touch,heat and cold,and pain.

·The left half of the brain controls the right side of the body.The right half controls the left side.

·One half of the brain is always dominant(in charge).Usually,the left brain is dominant,which is why 90% of people are right-handed.

Which part of your cerebrum is most active when you are making a telephone call?

A.The frontal lobe.                                           B.The temporal lobe.

C.The occipital lobe.                                         D.The parietal lobe.

A.One’s personality has something to do with the frontal lobe.

B.Bright ideas come from the parietal lobe.

B.their temporal lobe is usually dominant

C.their right brain is usually dominant

D.their left brain is usually dominant

解析:

【小題1】道細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)短文中的“The temporal lobe is where you hear and understand what people say to you.”可判斷出當(dāng)你打電話時temporal lobe最活躍,因為它是聽見和理解人們對你說什么的部位。

【小題2】正誤判斷題。根據(jù)短文中的“The frontal lobe is linked to your personality and it is where you have your bright ideas.”可判斷出選項A是正確的。

【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)短文中的“Usually,the left brain is dominant,which is why 90% of people are right-handed.”可判斷出一個人是左撇子的原因是他的右腦處于支配地位。

I got lots of interesting experiences in a free school. At first I couldn’t believe it. There were no    41    in rows or loud-sounding bells, nor did anyone have to go to    42   . Although we lived “in”,    43   made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “ lights out”.
The    44  thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or    45  class. The new ones always went wild    46   , but his wildness never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to.

The subjects were the same as those in the ___50_____ school, but what a difference in the method!
