Question

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選頁中有兩項為多余選項。

Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology, Nobel prize winners, discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do.

The left side of the brain controls language and number and it analyses and reasons. ___1._ It controls our appreciation of music and our sense of rhythm. It is also the right side of our brain which daydreams.

Leonardo da Vinci was the great painter and sculptor. He was also an architect, a scientist and an inventor! ____2.___ When he invented machines he used both his imaginative ability and his analytical ability.

___3._ Albert Einstein enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Indeed, Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. The story goes that Einstein was daydreaming one summer's day while sitting on a hill. He imagined that he was riding on sunbeams to the far distance of the universe. Then he found that he had returned to the sun. So he realized that the universe must curve(彎曲).___ 4._ He then used the left side of his brain to apply analysis, number and reason. And finally he used language to explain it.

Traditional education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. Why don' t we give more value to visual thinking? Why jump on one foot if we have two perfectly good legs !

___5._ We need to use our imagination to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy emotional and artistic experiences. And we need to be logical able to analyze and organize in order to survive day by day.

A. We benefit by thinking creatively.

B. We all need both sides of our brain.

C. He got this idea by using his imagination.

D. Great scientists and great artists are similar.

E. He was considered crazy for his strange ideas.

F. He used both sides of his brain within each activity.

G. The right side controls our imagination and our understanding of space.

【解析】

試題分析: 科學(xué)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)人類的大腦有兩面，每一面都有不同的工作要做。左側(cè)大腦控制語言和號碼，分析、推理。右側(cè)大腦控制著音樂、韻律感和想象力。做任何一件事都要用到這兩側(cè)的大腦。

1.空前一句的意思是：人的大腦分為左右兩部分，功能不同。左側(cè)大腦控制語言和數(shù)字，它做分析和推理�？蘸笠痪涞囊馑际牵核�控制著我們對音樂的欣賞和我們的韻律感。所以選G（右腦負(fù)責(zé)我們的想象力和多空間的理解力）與前后一致 。

2.空前一句的意思是：達(dá) · 芬奇是偉大的畫家和雕塑家。他也是一名建筑師、 一名科學(xué)家和發(fā)明家！空后一句的意思是：當(dāng)他發(fā)明機(jī)器時，他既用到他富有想象力又用到他的分析能力。所以選F（在做每個活動時都用到大腦的兩側(cè)。）與前后一致 。

3.空前提到達(dá)芬奇是偉大的藝術(shù)家，空后提到：偉大的科學(xué)家阿爾伯特 · 愛因斯坦喜歡藝術(shù)，演奏小提琴和帆船運動。所以選D項（偉大的科學(xué)家和偉大的藝術(shù)家是相似的。）前后意思一致。

4.空前提到，愛因斯坦說過他的科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)源于他的想象力，而不是分析、 推理和語言。據(jù)說愛因斯坦在一個夏日坐在一座小山上。他想象著他騎上陽光向著遙遠(yuǎn)的宇宙。然后他發(fā)現(xiàn)他已經(jīng)回到太陽。所以，他意識到宇宙必須彎曲。所以選C（他是用他的想象力來得到他的想法的。）前后意思一致。

5.5】考查上下文的語境理解能力。根據(jù)本段的中心內(nèi)容，和空后提到：我們需要想象力也需要邏輯分析能力可知，選B(大腦的左右兩側(cè)我們都需要。) 意思一致。

考點：信息匹配。
