9、.composition As infants, we can recognize our mothers within hours of birth. In fact, we can recognize the 41 of our mother?s face well before we can recognize her body shape. It?s42how the brain can carry out such a function at such a young age, especially since we don?t learn to walk and talk unti

10、l we are over a year old. By the time we are adults, we have the ability to distinguish around 100,000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to 43such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully understood, but 44research around the world

11、 has begun to define the specific areas of the brain and processes for facial recognition. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in 45 a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA), which is used only for facial recognition. This

12、 means that recognition of familiar objects such as our clothes or cars, is from in the brain. Researchers also have found that the brain needs to see the whole face for 46 recognition to take place. It had been 47 thought that we only needed to see certain facial features. Meanwhile, research at Un

13、iversity College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process, but 48 involves three steps. The first step appears to be an analysis of the physical features of a person?s face, which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of our groceries. In the next step, the brain decides wh

14、ether the face we are looking at is already known or unknown to us. And finally, the brain furnishes the information we have collected about the person whose face we are looking at. This complex 49 is done in a split second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations. III. Read

About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.”People who are amusic are born without the ability to reco

25、gnize or reproduce musical notes (音调 ). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music

26、to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restauran

27、t or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,”says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered tha

28、t she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesn ?t involve defective hearing

29、 . Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can?t see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断 ). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about

30、 her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ,No thanks, I ?m amusic,?”says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seve

31、nty.” Which of the following is true of amusics? 65. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them. A. They love places where they are likely to hear music. B. They can easily tell two different songs apart. C. Their situation is well understood by musicians. D. one ” isprobably 66. According to paragraph 3, a person with“defective hearing who _.
