题目与答案

1. 1 Before attending college, Jacob was capable of recognizing people he knew well.
   • TRUE
   • FALSE
   • NOT GIVEN

   答案：FALSE

   原文定位：He had had the same trouble all his life. Friends and relatives would greet him, and he would have no idea who they were

2. Causes of prosopagnosia

   ·10 Prosopagnosia may be caused by just one _____

   答案：gene

   原文定位：Having looked at 38 cases in seven families, the German team believes they have good evidence that a single gene could be responsible

3. 11 a defect in the _____ .

   答案：left

   原文定位：He refers to studies of babies born with a condition that means the eye's lens is not clear, and when it's the left one, being unable to see through this eye during the first two months of life is a major risk factor for prosopagnosia

4. Treatment for prosopagnosia

   ·According to Martina Gruter

   Eye according to Brad Duchaine

   12 Joseph Degutis' patent proved he had been successfully trained to recognize faces inside the _____ and in the outside world.

   Duchaine's training may allow prosopagnosics to recognize faces belonging to family and workmates.

   答案：laboratory

   原文定位：Joseph Degutis, a graduate student at the University of California, recently reported successfully training a severe developmental prosopagnosic to recognize faces during tests carried out in the laboratory

5. ·13 Thomas Gruter doubts that training will work and mentions that _____ subjects can affect research results by some.

   答案：cheating

   原文定位：He also points out that cheating is a possibility during tests and provides an example: one person they studied said that when she was doing the face-recognition test, she memorized the distance between the nose and upper lip

6. 2 Researchers believe that prosopagnosia may be a growing problem.
   • TRUE
   • FALSE
   • NOT GIVEN

   答案：TRUE

   原文定位：In fact, the condition is not that uncommon, but until a few years ago, only a few dozen cases had ever been described, and all of these had been caused by brain injury. Recently, though, researchers identified a second form of face blindness—developmental prosopagnosia, which is either present from birth or develops very early in life

7. 3 It is harder to identify developmental prosopagnosia in babies than in young children.
   • TRUE
   • FALSE
   • NOT GIVEN

   答案：NOT GIVEN

8. 4 A German study seems to support the Harvard and UCL research findings.
   • TRUE
   • FALSE
   • NOT GIVEN

   答案：TRUE

   原文定位：In May, a team from Harvard University in the US and University College London (UCL) announced the results of a web survey of 1,600 people, suggesting that up to 2 percent of people have some degree of face blindness. Then in August, Martina Gruter and colleagues at the Institute for Human Genetics in Münster, Germany, similarly reported that 2.5 percent of 700 secondary school pupils they had tested had trouble recognizing faces

9. 5 In general, prosopagnosics are aware that other people can recognize faces more easily than they can.
   • TRUE
   • FALSE
   • NOT GIVEN

   答案：FALSE

   原文定位：Prosopagnosics almost always know that they have trouble recognizing people, but they often don't realize that other people have better recognition skills than they do

10. 6 In most cases, prosopagnosics have developed ways to deal with their problem.
    • TRUE
    • FALSE
    • NOT GIVEN

    答案：TRUE

    原文定位：Despite these issues, the majority of developmental prosopagnosics possess strategies that allow them to get around their difficulty

11. 7 The study of prosopagnosia may help neuroscientists to treat different kinds of brain injury.
    • TRUE
    • FALSE
    • NOT GIVEN

    答案：NOT GIVEN

12. Differences in prosopagnosis

    ·The challenges for prosopagnosia researchers

    8 As well as being unable to recognize facial features, prosopagnosics may also have problems recognizing commonly seen _____ .

    答案：animals

    原文定位：Some have problems only with faces, while others have trouble with ordinary everyday objects and, so it turns out, animals, which would normally be familiar as well

13. 9 The _____ and objects on someone else's face.

    ·Some prosopagnosics can recognize that people are regarded as attractive by others.

    答案：emotion

    原文定位：When some have been tested, they could identify the emotion conveyed on another's face, even though the face itself seemed unfamiliar, while for other subjects, this was an impossibility
