资源简介
A
[2019·重庆调研]You have just won five million yuan in a lottery (彩票) — how would you spend it? Before you know it, ten minutes has gone on daydreaming. There is a time and a place for daydreaming, but we don't have much control over that. Isn't it worrying that an estimated 30 to 50 percent of our waking time is spent daydreaming? What if your dentist is having that lottery daydream while removing your rotten tooth?
Some studies suggest daydreaming makes us unhappy because we are not focusing on what is around us but are instead thinking about the past or future. However, a recent study published in the journal Neuropsychologica finds that mind­wandering can be of benefit to us. The researchers measured the brain patterns of more than 100 people using an MRI (核磁共振成像) scanner. This data was compared with tests on creative ability and a questionnaire on how much their minds usually wandered. Those whose minds wandered the most scored higher in creative ability tests and had more efficient brain systems measured in the MRI machine.
Being efficient at mind­wandering means you can zone_out and then naturally tune back in without missing any important point or step. Christine Godwin, the lead author of the latest study from the Georgia Institute of Technology, says that if you are focusing on difficult tasks, your performance will drop if your mind wanders. But when tasks are easy, people who have high cognitive ability can let their minds wander because it does not affect their performance. You may be thinking about upcoming goals or problem­solving. These are some of the positive sides to mind­wandering.
Mind­wandering can vary between being more practical or more emotional. What mind­wandering seems to be best at, researchers say, is coming up with new solutions to old problems. So, it's not always a waste of time!
体裁:说明文 题材:科学研究 主题:思维漫游对人有好处
【语篇解读】 研究表明思维漫游对人的创造力发展有好处。
【难句分析】 Those whose minds wandered the most scored higher in creative ability tests and had more efficient brain systems measured in the MRI machine.
分析:这是一个复合句。whose引导定语从句,修饰Those;and连接两个并列的动作scored和had;measured in the MRI machine为过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰systems。
译文:那些思维漫游最多的人在创造力测试中得分更高,并且在核磁共振成像机测量中拥有更加高效的大脑系统。
1.The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________.
A.explanation  B.introduction
C.comment    D.background
答案与解析:B 考查推理判断。通读第一段可知,本段引出了“做白日梦”这个话题,故选B项。
2.The study published in Neuropsychologica shows that ________.
A.daydreaming makes us unhappy
B.we are focusing on the past or future
C.mind­wandering is related to creative ability
D.the MRI scanner is helpful in measuring the brain patterns
答案与解析:C 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“However, a recent study published in the journal Neuropsychologica finds that mind­wandering can be of benefit to us... Those whose minds wandered the most scored higher in creative ability tests”可知,《神经心理学》杂志上发表的一项研究发现,思维漫游对人们有好处,那些思维漫游最多的人在创造力测试中得分更高,故C项“思维漫游和创造力有关”符合文意。
3.What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Get distracted. B.Focus on.
C.Be affected.   D.Have control.
答案与解析:A 考查词义猜测。画线短语后的“and then naturally tune back in without missing any important point or step”意为“然后自然地调整回来,而不遗漏任何重要的观点或步骤”,故画线词zone out意为“get distracted”“走神”,故选A项。
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.Mind­wandering might be dangerous.
B.Daydreaming might bring benefits.
C.Mind­wandering is not a waste of time.
D.Daydreaming is hard to be controlled.
答案与解析:B 考查主旨大意。根据第二段中的“However, a recent study published in the journal Neuropsychologica finds that mind­wandering can be of benefit to us”可知,思维漫游对人们有好处,故选B项。
