一、考题解析人与人之间的信任
P1 土地沙漠化
P2 澳大利亚的鹦鹉
P3 多重任务
二、名师点评
1.8月份首场考试的难度总体中等，有出现比较多的配对题，没有出现Heading题，其余主要以常规的填空，判断和选择题为主。文章的话题和题型搭配也是在剑桥真题中都有迹可循，所以备考重心依然还是剑桥官方真题。湛江小吃
2. 整体分析：涉及环境类（P1）、动物类（P2）、社科类（P3）。宇宙演化
本次考试的P2和P3均为旧题。P2是动物类的话题，题型组合为：段落细节配对+单选+summary填空，难度中等。题型上也延续19年的出题特点，出现配对题，考察定位速度和准确度。P3也出现了段落细节配对，主要是段落细节配对+单选+判断。三种题型难度中等，但是文章理解起来略有难度。
3. 部分答案及参考文章：
可是你没有Passage 1：土地沙漠化
题型及答案待确认
Passage 2：澳大利亚的鹦鹉
题型：段落细节配对+单选+Summary填空
名侦探柯南怎么画技巧分析：由于段落细节配对是完全乱序出题，在定位时需要先做后面的单选题及填空题，最大化利用已读信息来确定答案，尽量避免重复阅读，以保证充分的做题时间。

Passage3： multitasking
Multitasking Debate—Can you do them at the same time？
消防管道安装Talking on the phone while driving isn＇t the only situationwhere we＇re wor at multitasking than we might like to think we are. Newstudies have identified a bottleneck in our brains that some say means we arefundamentally incapable of true multitasking. If experimental findings reflectreal-world performance， people who think they are multitasking are probablyjust underperforming in all-or at best， all but one -of their parallelpursuits. Practice might improve your performance， but you will never be asgood as when focusing on one task at a time.
The problem， according to René Marois， a psychologist atVanderbilt University in Nashville， Tenne， is that there＇s a sticking pointin the brain. To demonstrate this， Marois devid an experiment to locate nteers watch a screen and when a particular image appears， a red circle，say， they have to press a key with their index finger. Different colouredcircles require press from different fingers. Typical respon time is about half a cond， and thevolunteers quickly reach their peak performance. Then they learn to listen todifferent recordings and respond by making a specific sound. For instance， whenthey hear a bird chirp， they have to say ＂ba＂； an electronic sou
ndshould elicit a ＂ko＂， and so on. Again， no problem. A normal personcan do that in about half a cond， with almost no effort. The trouble comeswhen Marois shows the volunteers an image， then almost immediately plays them asound. Now they＇re flummoxed. ＂If you show an image and play a sound atthe same time， one task is postponed，＂ he says. In fact，if the cond taskis introduced within the half-cond or so it takes to process and react to thefirst， it will simply be delayed until the first one is done. The largestdual-task delays occur when the two tasks are prented simultaneously； delaysprogressively shorten as the interval between prenting the tasks lengthens（See Diagram）.
There are at least three points where we em to getstuck， says Marois. The first is in simply identifying what we＇re looking can take a few tenths of a cond， during which time we are not able toe and recogni a cond item. This limitation is known as the＂attentional blink＂： experiments have shown that if you＇re watchingout for a particular event and a cond one shows up unexpectedly any timewithin this crucial window of concentration， it may register in your visualcortex but you will be unable to ac
t upon it. Interestingly， if you don＇texpect the first event， you have no trouble responding to the cond. Whatexactly caus the attentional blink is still a matter for debate.
A cond limitation is in our short-term visual ＇s estimated that we can keep track of about four items at a time， fewer ifthey are complex. This capacity shortage is thought to explain， in part， our astonishinginability to detect even huge changes in scenes that are otherwi identical，so-called ＂change blindness＂. Show people pairs of near-identicalphotos -say， aircraft engines in one picture have disappeared in the other -andthey will fail to spot the differences （if you don＇t believe it， check out theclips at /~rensink/flicker/download）. Here again， though， thereis disagreement about what the esntial limiting factor really is. Does itcome down to a dearth of storage capacity， or is it about how much attention aviewer is paying？
A third limitation is that choosing a respon to astimulus -braking when you e a child in the road， for instance，or replyingwhen your mother tells you over the phone that she
＇s thinking of leaving yourdad -also takes brainpower. Selecting a respon to one of the things willdelay by some tenths of a cond your ability to respond to the other. This iscalled the ＂respon lection bottleneck＂ theory， first propod in1952.
Last December， Marois and his colleagues published apaper arguing that this bottleneck is in fact created in two different areas ofthe brain： one in the posterior lateral prefrontal cortex and another in thesuperior medial frontal cortex （Neuron， vol 52， p 1109）. They found this byscanning people＇s brains with functional MRI while the subjects struggled tochoo among eight possible respons to each of two cloly timed tasks. Theydiscovered that the brain areas are not tied to any particular n but aregenerally involved in lecting respons， and they emed to queue therespons when prented with multiple tasks concurrently.
