Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can e, a new study says, without the benefits of vision the ears em to work much better.Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are clo by. Rearchers from the University of Montreal wanted to e if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away. Twenty-three blind people participated in the study. All had been sightless for at least 20 years. Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11. The rest went blind after age 16. The experiment also included 10 people who could e but were wearing blind-folds.In one task, volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3 metres away. When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front, both groups performed equally well.When sounds came from the side or the back, however, the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group. The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than tho who lost their sight later.Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people,say the rearchers. Crossing the street, for instance, is much harder when you can’t e the cars coming.Still, the rearchers were surprid by how well the blind participants did, especially tho who went blind after age 16. In another experiment, the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11. The brain parts didn’t show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people. The scientists now want to learn more about the working of brains of “late-ont” blind people.36. The recent study shows blind people are better at telling ________________.A. The sources of loud sounds.  B. the locations of distant soundsC. the direction of sharp sounds D. the distance of a sound in front of them37. Which would be a proper title for the passage?A. A Rearch on Blind People B. Where is That Noi Coming from?C. Hearing Better in the Dark  D. What If Living Without Your Eyes?38. If people were asked to tell the direction of a sound from the side, who would perform best?A. Tho who are blind.  B. Tho who have gone blind since children.C. Tho who went blind at age 16.  D. Tho who are blindfolded.39. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Whether to be able to locate the sounds can be of vital importance for the blind.B. All the volunteers in the experiment are sightless.C. All the participants did equally well when picking sounds from whatever direction.D. The later people become blind, the better they can perform in telling the direction of sounds.40. What do we know about that parts of brain dealing with visual information are active in locating sounds?A. This happens in almost all the testers.B. This only occurs in the people who were blind after age 16.C. It remains nothing new to the scientists any more.D. It remains a mystery why it is so. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“.第二部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
