18、g people laughing and not laugh yourself?Well,apparently its because we have mirror neurons (神經(jīng)元)in our brains.Put simply,the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something,our brains imitate (模枋)it,whether or not we actually perform the same action.This explai

19、ns a great deal about how we learn to smile,talk,walk,dance or play sports.But the idea goes further:mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions,they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over o

20、ur brains,but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages,and to understand how other people feel.Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language.A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example:“The hand t

21、ook hold of the ball”),the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example,actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior.Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems h

22、ave mirror neurons which are not fully functioning.However,it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact (互動(dòng)).Indeed,it may turn o

26、irror neurons.語篇解讀:本文是說明文,為科普知識(shí)類文章,主要介紹在人類大腦中無處不在的反應(yīng)神經(jīng)元的功能。答案及剖析:1.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一、二句可知,反應(yīng)神經(jīng)元的存在表明了每次我們看見別人做什么時(shí),我們的大腦就模仿,這足以解釋我們是如何學(xué)會(huì)笑、說、走、跳舞或是運(yùn)動(dòng)的。故答案為C項(xiàng)。2.A猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句意思,一組研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)如果他們讓被測(cè)試者聽這樣的句子(例如:“用手抓住球”),同樣,當(dāng)相應(yīng)的實(shí)際動(dòng)作在運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)時(shí),反應(yīng)神經(jīng)元也起作用。set off激起,引起;cut off切斷;build up增進(jìn);break up散開,驅(qū)散。故答案為A項(xiàng)。3.A推理判斷題。

27、根據(jù)最后一段第一句可知,反應(yīng)神經(jīng)元的相關(guān)研究似乎為我們提供更多有關(guān)人類行為和互動(dòng)的信息。因此,可以推斷反應(yīng)神經(jīng)元與人類行為和互動(dòng)有關(guān)聯(lián),故答案為A項(xiàng)。4.D主旨大意題。文章主要介紹反應(yīng)神經(jīng)元的作用,故答案為D項(xiàng)。【長難句子分析】Muchresearch主語suggests謂語 that people (withsocial and behavioral賓語從句problems)定語have mirror neurons (which are not fully賓語從句 functioning).定語從句賓語從句許多研究表明,社交和舉止有問題的人,他的反應(yīng)神經(jīng)元功能沒有充分發(fā)揮。謂語動(dòng)詞sugg

28、ests后面跟著一個(gè)由that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句,其中with social and behavioral problems作people的定語;which引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾先行詞mirror neurons。閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。Mr and Mrs Gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines.
