【導語】這是一篇新聞報道。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)的〃主人公視角解釋網絡〃的神經網絡有助于讀者深入理解語言處理的

神經機制，可能為個性化治療閱讀障礙提供新途徑。

32.細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段的“Theresearchersgatheredagroupof8volunteers,andrecordedtheirbrain

activityinanfMRIscannerastheyreadChapter9ofHarryPotterandtheSorcerer/sStonefor45

characters7namesandotherfeaturesofthestory—atotalof195different“storyfeatures”.（研究人員召集了8名

志愿者，在他們閱讀《哈利波特與魔法石》第九章45分鐘時，用功能磁共振成像掃描儀記錄了他們的大腦

活動。然后，他們將志愿者的功能磁共振成像數(shù)據輸入他們編寫的計算機程序。他們設計了這個程序來尋

找志愿者在閱讀特定的單詞、特定人物的名字和故事的其他特征一一總共195個不同的"故事特征”時出現(xiàn)的

大腦活動模式。）”可知，這項研究是通過尋找大腦活動模式來進行的，即追蹤大腦對故事的反應。故選C。

33.推理判斷題。根據第四段的"Whentheresearchersusedallthe195storyfeatures,theprogramwasableto

guesswhichpassagewasbeingreadwithanaccuracyof74percent.Finally,theresearchersrepeatedthetestat

everybrainregion,whichallowedthemtofigureoutwhichbrainregionsareprocessingwhichtypesof

information」當研究人員使用所有195個故事特征時，該程序能夠以74%的準確率猜出正在閱讀的是哪一段。

最后，研究人員在每個大腦區(qū)域重復測試，這使他們能夠弄清楚哪個大腦區(qū)域在處理哪種類型的信息。）"

可知，在每個大腦區(qū)域重復測試可以讓研究人員弄清楚哪些大腦區(qū)域處理與故事相關的不同類型的信息，

即這樣做是為了確定大腦的信息處理區(qū)域。故選D。

34.細節(jié)理解題。根據第五段的"Thisallconfirmtheexistenceofwhatresearcherscallthe"protagonist's

perspectiveinterpreternetwork（PPIN）”,anetworkofbrainregionsthatenableusto“become“theprotagonistof

thestorywe;rereading.（這一切都證實了研究人員所謂的“主人公視角解釋網絡"的存在，這是一個大腦區(qū)域網

絡，使我們能夠"成為"我們正在閱讀的故事的主角。）"可知，"主角視角解讀網絡”被定義為讓讀者通過主角

的視角來體驗故事。故選A。

35.推理判斷題。根據最后一段的"Somedayitmayhelpusdesignindividuallytailoredneurologicaltreatments

forreadingdisorders.Andmanypeoplemayinthefuturefinditeasiertogetlostinthepagesofagoodbook.（有

朝一日，它可能會幫助我們設計出針對閱讀障礙的個性化神經療法。許多人在未來可能會發(fā)現(xiàn)更容易迷失

在一本好書的頁面。）"可知，這項研究提出了在理解大腦語言處理方面的潛在應用，這可能會導致未來針對

閱讀障礙的個性化治療。故選C。
