Each word can onlybe used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.As infants, we can recognize our mother
23、s within hours of birth. In fact, we can recognizethe 41 of our mothers face well before we can recognize her body shape. Its 42 howthe brain can carry out such a function at such a young age, especially since we dont learn to walkand talk until we are over a year old. By the time we are adults, we
24、have the ability to distinguisharound 100,000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to 43 such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully understood, butresearch around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the brain and pr
25、ocesses 44for facial recognition.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they havesucceeded in 45 a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA), which isused only for facial recognition. This means that recognition of familiar objects such as ourcloth
26、es or cars, is from 46 in the brain. Researchers also have found that the brain needs tosee the whole face for recognition to take place. It had been 47 thought that we only neededto see certain facial features. Meanwhile, research at University College London has found thatfacial recognition is not
27、 a single process, but 48 involves three steps. The first step appearsto be an analysis of the physical features of a persons face, which is similar to how we scan thebar codes of our groceries. In the next step, the brain decides whether the face we are looking at isalready known or unknown to us.
28、And finally, the brain furnishes the information we havecollected about the person whose face we are looking at. This complex 49 is done in a splitsecond so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations. (324 words)III. Reading ComprehensionSectionADirections: For each blank in the

33、ve sold only in 56 open-air markets can nowpromote their goods worldwide by the Internet.Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually 57 thegap between the rich and poor.

About four percent of the population is whatscientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to rec
41、ognize 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 musicalscale. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound ofmusic to
42、 pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoymusic set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with theircondition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to arestaurant or
43、a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusicsintentionally 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 onlyrecently discovered that she
44、was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finallylearning how to identify this unusual condition.Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who canappreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesnt involve defective hearing. Amusicsca
45、n understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinaryspeech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just cant see certain colors.Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊 断 ). For years,Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem wit
46、h 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 meto a concert, I just say, No thanks, Im amusic,” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to saythat when I was seventeen and not seventy.”(335 words)65.
