Question

1．You watch a sad film and get caught up in your emotions．You cry your eyes out at the dramatic plot-you feel sad for the characters if they suffer，or happy for them when they are successful．It is only when the movie is over that you realize that what you were watching is not real．
But why couldn't you accept that when you were so absorbed in the movie？It was reported in Science Daily this week that scientists at Case Western Reserve University，US，discovered that people simply cannot think emotionally and logically at the same time．
It has long been known that something different goes on in our brain when we use logic，rather than responding to something emotionally．Thinking logically is a step-by-step process，in which people make decisions through reasoning and find answers rationally．When we think emotionally，or empathize （有同感），we look at things from someone else's point of view and try to feel their pain．
Now scientists have found that thinking logically and emotionally are like the two ends of a seesaw （蹺蹺板）-when we're busy empathizing，the part of the brain used for cold，hard analysis is  suppressed．And it's also true the other way round．
To come to this conclusion，scientists gathered 45people-men and women-to take brain scans as they solved different kinds of puzzles．Some of the puzzles were tough and involved math and physics and others were social problems that required participants to put themselves in other people's shoes．
Scientists found that when participants were doing a math problem，the region in their brain that is associated with logical thinking lit up，and when asked to make emotional decisions，the region for emotional thinking lit up．But the most interesting part is that when asked to solve problems that required both logical and emotional responses，the participants always used one of the regions at a time while the other one went dark．
"Empathetic and analytic thinking are…mutually （相互之間地） exclusive （排斥的） in the brain，"said Anthony Jack，leader of the study．"You don't have to favor one，but cycle efficiently between them，and employ the right network at the right time．"
However，people sometimes ended up using the wrong one．This explains why some people are good at solving complex math problems but have poor social skills．And why even the smartest people get taken in by fake but touching stories．
41．Why does the author mention watching movies at the beginning of the passage B？
A．To show that we are easily moved by things that are not real．
B．To show that sometimes we only use emotional thinking．
C．To introduce the research based on this kind of experiences．
D．To prove emotional thinking is powerful．
42．Scientists at Case Western Reserve University，US，proved C through their recent tests．
A．logical thinking works differently from emotional thinking
B．logical thinking is much more efficient than emotional thinking
C．logical thinking and emotional thinking take turns to function independently
D．logical thinking and emotional thinking could work together
43．The underlined word"suppressed"in Paragraph 4means C．
A．starting to react actively
B．being completely damaged
C．to prevent something from working effectively
D．obtaining an opposite function
44．We can conclude from the last two paragraphs that  B．
A．people have to frequently switch between different types of thinking
B．a(chǎn)dopting the wrong thinking mode could have bad results
C．people could only either have excellent logical thinking or emotional thinking
D．people who think logically could easily be controlled
45．What could be the best title for the passage　A？
A．Your Heart vs Your Mind                   B．Your Emotions
C．Logical Thinking           D．Movies and Feelings．

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于科普文，文章研究了人的感性思維和理性思維，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)人們不能同時(shí)理性地和感性地思考，即理性思維和感性思維輪流發(fā)生作用．

解答 41．答案 B 推理判斷題 根據(jù)第二段 It was reported in Science Daily this week that scientists at CaseWestern Reserve University，US，discoveredthat people simply cannot think emotionally and logically at the same time．可知，人們不能同時(shí)感性思考和理性思考，這是感性思考的一個(gè)例證，所以答案為B
42．答案 C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第二段第二句"It was reported in Science Daily this week that scientists at CaseWestern Reserve University，US，discovered that people simply cannot thinkemotionally and logically at the same time．"可知，人們不能同時(shí)理性地和感性地思考，即理性思維和感性思維輪流發(fā)生作用，故正確答案為C．
43．答案 C  詞義猜測(cè)題．由第四段第一句"Now scientists have found thatthinking logically and emotionally are like the two ends of a seesaw-when we're busy empathizing，thepart of the brain used for cold，hard analysis is suppressed．"可知邏輯思維和感性思維就像蹺蹺板的兩頭，不能同時(shí)發(fā)揮作用，由此推斷 suppressed 意為"不發(fā)揮作用"，C項(xiàng)符合文意，故正確答案為C．
44．答案 B 推斷判斷題．由最后一段第一二句"However，people sometimes ended up using the wrong one．Thisexplains why some people are good at solving complex math problems but havepoor social skills．"可知，人們有時(shí)會(huì)選擇錯(cuò)誤的思維方式，這解釋了為什么一些善于解決復(fù)雜數(shù)學(xué)問題的人卻不擅長(zhǎng)交際．由此推知錯(cuò)誤的思維方式可能導(dǎo)致糟糕的結(jié)果，所以B項(xiàng)正確．A、C項(xiàng)，由倒數(shù)第二段最后一句"You don't have to favor one，butcycle efficiently between them，and employ the right network at the right time．"可知你必須在正確的時(shí)間選擇正確的思維模式，而不是隨時(shí)在兩種模式間轉(zhuǎn)換，也不是只能擁有一種模式，所以A、C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤．D項(xiàng)，由文章最后一句"And why even the smartest peopleget taken in by fake（假的） but touching stories．"可知D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤．
45．答案 A 主旨大意題  根據(jù)全文可知，本篇文章研究了人的感性思維和理性思維，二者不能同時(shí)發(fā)生作用，A 選項(xiàng)概括了人的感性和理性兩方面，而其他選項(xiàng)以偏概全，故答案為A
