Passage 1 Topic：The Secrets of Human Brain Capacity We often think our inner world is more complex than what we can express. Elon Musk's idea of a brain-computer interface might seem like a solution, but recent research tells a different story. 36_____ The study in Neuron reveals that human thinking occurs at a sluggish pace of around 10 bits per second. However, our sensory systems work at a staggering speed of about one billion bits per second. 37 _____This vast difference creates the so-called "Musk illusion," where we wrongly believe our minds can handle multiple thoughts simultaneously. Markus Meister, a leading neuroscientist, points out that the human brain is less remarkable than we assume. 38_____ For instance, it is much slower in decision-making compared to modern devices. Even if Musk were to achieve his goal, the communication speed with the computer wouldn't be significantly faster. Another aspect is that our brains only focus on a limited amount of sensory information. Past studies lacked a quantitative understanding, which Meister and Zheng aimed to address. 39_____ Their research showed that the total knowledge a person acquires in a lifetime is surprisingly small. In conclusion, our senses give us the impression of vast perception, but it's an illusion. 40_____ Understanding these limitations helps us better comprehend the true nature of our brains. A. They collated data from various fields. B. This speed gap has significant implications. C. So, what is the real situation D. It struggles with multitasking. E. The illusion persists in our minds. F. Why does this happen G. Our perception is often deceiving. 答案：36. C 37. B 38. D 39. A 40. G 解析： 36 题：上文提到马斯克的想法与研究结果相悖，C 选项 “那么，真实情况是怎样的呢？” 引出下文对人类大脑实际情况的阐述，符合语境。 37 题：上文对比了人类思维速度和感官系统速度，B 选项 “这个速度差距有重大影响” 承接上文，进一步说明其影响，符合逻辑。 38 题：上文说大脑不如我们想象的强大，D 选项 “它难以同时处理多项任务” 具体说明了大脑的这一局限性，与上文连贯。 39 题：上文提到 Meister 和 Zheng 的研究目的，A 选项 “他们整理了来自不同领域的数据” 说明他们为了填补空白所做的工作，符合文意。 40 题：上文说我们的感官给我们错误的印象，G 选项 “我们的感知常常具有欺骗性” 对上文进行总结，符合语境。 Passage 2 Topic：Unraveling the Mysteries of the Human Mind Many of us feel that our thoughts and feelings are too profound to be fully expressed. Elon Musk's pursuit of a direct brain-computer connection is an attempt to overcome this "communication barrier." But new findings suggest otherwise. 36_____Research published in Neuron indicates that human thinking speed is fixed and extremely slow, approximately 10 bits per second. Meanwhile, our sensory systems are incredibly efficient, gathering data at a rate of one billion bits per second. 37_____ This disparity gives rise to the false perception that our minds are capable of juggling numerous thoughts at once. Meister, a renowned neuroscientist, emphasizes ... ...
