文章讲述的是4G向5G的转变。
5G会给人们带来更多的好处,使人们的生活更加舒适。

【答案】

(2)A
(3)D
(4)D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,讲述的是“鸡尾酒会效应”的启示。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的“ScientistsattheUniversityofCaliforniainSanFranciscohavefoundwherethatsound-editingprocessoccursinthebrain—intheauditorycortex(听觉皮层)justbehindtheear,notinareasofhigherthought.”现在,加州大学旧金山分校(UniversityofCaliforniainSanFrancisco)的科学家找到了这种声音编辑过程在大脑中发生的位置──在耳朵后面的听觉皮层,而不是大脑的高级思维区域。
可知,在到达更高的大脑之前,声音已经被整理出来了,故选D。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第三段中的“Thesefindings,publishedinthejournalNaturelastweek,explainwhypeoplearen'
tverygoodatmultitasking-ourbrainsarewiredfor‘selectiveattention’andcanfocusononlyonethingatatime.”这些上月发布在《自然》期刊上的研究结果强调了为何人们不是很擅长处理多任务──我们的大脑有“选择性注意”机制,一次只能专注于一件事。
可知,我们在生理上无法同时处理多项任务。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据第四段中的“Manyofthoseaccidentsaredueto‘inattentionalblindness’,inwhichpeoplecan,ineffect,turnablindeyetothingstheyaren'
tfocusingon.”可知,D项Apedestrianhadacaraccidentbecauseofphubbing.“一个行人因低头族而发生车祸。
”是一个“inattentionalblindness”的例子。
(4)考查目的意图。
根据最后一段中的“Somepeoplecantrainthemselvestopayextraattentiontothingsthatareimportant—likepoliceofficerslearntoscancrowdsforfacesandconductorscanlistenforindividualinstrumentswithintheorchestraasawhole.Manymorethinktheycaneffectivelymultitask,butareactuallyshiftingtheirattentionrapidlybetweentwothingsandnotgettingthefulleffectofeither,expertssay.”有人可以训练自己对重要的事情付出格外的注意力──就像警察学习扫描人群的面孔,以及乐团指挥可以在整个乐团中听到每件乐器的声音。
专家说,更多的人则是自以为可以有效地处理多任务,但他们其实是在两件事之间迅速转移注意力,而并没有全身心地投入到其中任何一件事中。
可知本文的目的是“检查和评估”,故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和目标意图三个题型的考查,是一篇生活类阅读,考生需要准确掌握细节信息,并根据上下文进行讨论推理,概括归纳,从而选出正确答案。
