10.I know just how you feel
Do you feel sad?Happy?Angry?You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique.Well,think again.Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified,according to Mind Reading,a DVD exhibiting every possible human emotion.(71)A
In the mid1800s,Darwin divided the emotions into six types-anger,fear,sadness,disgust,surprise and enjoyment.More complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and therefore more specific to each culture.But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide.(72)F The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of these expressions.
The project was designed by a Cambridge professor.His research team first had to define an"emotion".(73)D Using this definition,412emotion terms were identified and discussed,from"afraid"to"wanting".
Then each expression is acted out by six different actors."It was really clear when the actors had got it right,"says Cathy Collis,who directed the DVD."Although they were given some direction,the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move.(74)G"
Someone who has tried to set such rules is the American,Professor Paul Ekman,who built database of how the face moves for every emotion.The face can make 43distinct muscle movements.Ekman has also found that it may not be possible for people to reproduce them artificially.The most difficult expression to reproduce is the smile.It isn't only about stretching the lips,but tightening the tiny muscles around the eye.(75)C If we learnt to recognize whether someone was using their eye muscle when they smiled,we would be able to distinguish true enjoyment from false.
A.It shows 412distinct ways we feel.
B.These can be combined into more than 10,000facial shapes.
C.These particular muscles are difficult to control,and few people can do it.
D.They decided that it was a mental state that could be introduced by"I feel"or"he looks"or"she sounds".
E.He said the expression of these feelings was universal and recognizable by anyone,from any culture.
F.It is as if they are programmed into the brains of"normal humans"wherever they are and whatever their races.
G.We thought of trying to describe each emotion,but it would have been almost impossible to make clear rules for this.
分析 本文主要講述情感的分類.
解答 71.A 72.F 73.D 74.G 75.C
71.A 本題考查考生的語境把握能力.根據(jù)上文a DVD exhibiting every possible human emotion一個展示各種可能的人類感情的DVD.下面內(nèi)容將是說明DVD的內(nèi)容.又因為a DVD對應(yīng)著it.故選A.
72.F 本題考查考生的邏輯推理能力.根據(jù)上文it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide人們認為許多面部表情是人類共有的.可推斷,既然是共有的,那么就有固定模式和特征.與此有關(guān)的選項是F,似乎他們像電腦程序被設(shè)置在大腦里.故選F.
73.D 本題考查考生的邏輯推理能力.根據(jù)Using this definition利用這個定義.可知上文專家們在定義什么是"emotion",故選D.
74.G 本題考查考生的邏輯推理能力.根據(jù)上文Although they were given some direction,the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move.盡管他們給了一些指示,但演員沒有被告知他們要動哪塊肌肉.可以推斷很難給出清楚的規(guī)則.故選G.
75.C 本題考查考生的邏輯推理能力.根據(jù)上文The most difficult expression to reproduce is the smile.It isn't only about stretching the lips,but tightening the tiny muscles around the eye.最難做的表情是微笑,不僅要嘴角上揚還要眼部的小肌肉收縮,可以推斷,作者想說微笑時肌肉運動的難度.故選C.
點評 做七選五題目時要注意以下規(guī)則:1.放進去通順,這一點是基礎(chǔ).凡不通順的必錯無疑;2、選項中有單詞、詞組、句子成分或與所選答案所在段內(nèi)容重合;
3、選項與其上句或下句之間有必然的邏輯關(guān)系;4、選項全部內(nèi)容都屬于正確答案所在段.有時備選答案中可能含有甲乙兩項內(nèi)容,這時,只有當(dāng)甲和乙都歸屬于本段時,答案才是正確的.
