Question

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

In recent years, research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists.  1.  If we compare a human brain to a hard disc(硬盘), what the scientists are doing is to make better use of the hard disc.

Experiments have started on animals. In 1999, a transplant(移植) experiment was done at the Defense and Military Physiology Research Institute in the U.S. and turned a bear into a dolphin(海豚).   2. They were made of the memory area in the dolphin’s brain containing information about swimming. They obtained a series of useful information, which was saved into a button-sized chip(芯片). Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear’s brain.   3.  It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin.

Not long ago, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The experiment had an entire transplant of the memory area.   4.  The transplant was performed from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. However, “Idiot” had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.

5. When the two dogs woke up, “Idiot” had grasped all the abilities “Genius” had; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.

A. The experiment was a complete success.

B. Then it was released(释放) by means of electric power.

C. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer.

D. Different images have different meanings in the memory area.

E. It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc.

F. Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain.

G. Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced.

Answer

1.C

2.G

3.B

4.E

5.A

【解析】

试题分析:本文讲述了科学家对人脑的研究，主要讲述了对人脑移植的研究和在动物身上的实验。

1.C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据If we compare a human brain to a hard disc(硬盘),如果我们把人脑比作硬盘，C选项One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer.最新的一个研究是如何改变人脑或者把人脑和电脑连在一起，符合，故选C。

2.G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据They were made of the memory area in the dolphin’s brain containing information about swimming它们是由海豚脑中包含游泳信息的记忆区域形成的， G选项Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced.使用最先进的技术能产生细化的图像，符合，选择G.

3.B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。 根据Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear’s brain.信息被移入熊脑中的行动记忆区，B选项Then it was released(释放) by means of electric power.它通过电能被释放，符合，故选B。

4.E考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据The experiment had an entire transplant of the memory area.实验对记忆区进行了整个的移植 ，E选项It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc.它包括了行动、情绪、逻辑、语言、图像等 ，符合，故选E。

高考七选五解题方法

1.通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。

2.分析句型，了解语法构成

3.当我们了解了文章大意后，要明确每一个空是填一个整句子还是半个句子。这一点十分重要，它能够帮助我们迅速确定某些空的选项范围，比如，有一个空的结尾处没有标点符号，后文紧跟着一个句子的后半部分，很显然这时我们需要填的是半个句子，这时便可以在七个选项中找到是半个句子的选项，从而缩小选择范围。比如第64小题，下文写到两只狗醒来时，愚蠢的那只掌握了聪明的那只的所有能力，它擅长记忆，十分敏感。故选A实验很成功。

4.明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。比如60小题，上一句写到对人脑的研究吸引了越来越多的科学家，下一句写到如果我们把人脑比作硬盘，科学家做的事情就是把最大化的利用硬盘，故选C最新的一个研究是如何改变人脑或者把人脑和电脑连在一起。

5.带入通读，复查

做完题目切忌直接离开，这是我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，注意：七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，我们叫做"连错"，所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其他空。
