36套 Exercise 2.1 文章最后一题

KevinLu_1997UID: 3688647

Which of the following best summarizes the author‘s opinion of the suggestion that different areas of the brain determine perceptions produced by sensory nerve impulses?
(A) It is a plausible explanation, but it has not been
completely proved.
(B) It is the best explanation of brain processes
currently available.
(C) It is disproved by the fact that the various areas
of the brain are physiologically very similar. (D) There is some evidence to support it, but it fails to explain the diversity of mental experience. (E) There is experimental evidence that confirms its
correctness.
36套上的解析说选最D 但是他后半句说 it fails to explain the diversity of mental experience. 原文最后一句说, cortical locus, in itself, turned out to have little explanatory value. 我认为cortical locus和diversity of mental experience.并不是一个东西. 我认为正确答案应该是第一个

By 1950, the results of attempts to relate brain processes to mental experience appeared rather discouraging. Herring suggested that different modes of
sensation, such as pain, taste, and color, might be  correlated with the discharge of specific kinds of nervous energy. However, subsequently developed methods of recording and analyzing nerve potentials failed to reveal any such qualitative diversity. Although qualitative variance among nerve energies was never rigidly
disproved, the doctrine was generally abandoned in favor of the opposing view, namely, that nerve impulses are essentially homogeneous in quality and are transmitted as ―common currency‖ throughout the nervous system. According to this theory, it is not the quality of the sensory nerve impulses that determines the diverse conscious sensations they produce, but rather the different areas of the brain into which they discharge, and there is some evidence for this view. In one experiment, when an electric stimulus was applied to a given sensory field of  the cerebral cortex of a conscious human subject, it produced a sensation of the appropriate modality for that particular locus, that is, a visual sensation from the visual cortex, an auditory sensation from the auditory cortex, and so on. However, cortical locus, in itself, turned out to have little explanatory value.
Exercise 2的,帮你找了下

若如此UID: 3649064

However, cortical locus, in itself, turned out to have little explanatory value.
文章最后一句话,承接上文scientists发现了evidents->cortical locus实证上是正确的,但是,have little explanatory value(我的理解是解释了这个cortical locus也没有多大用->也就是对文章的core,mental experience 没多大用,所以说little value)
这是在看选项前自己的判断.
A.plausible错了,作者没提
B.best.如果是best就不会最后一句给个However
C.disproved by the facts, 有evidents了...
E.这句话是正确的,,但是out of scope..完全无关

这是我的理解

题干问作者对不同区域决定感觉 perceptions=sensations=metal experience=topic word这个看法的意见，区域观点是第二个，作者对他的态度有两处，there is some evidence, but little explanatory value，

选项

A，plausible，提示正面态度，但是not completely proved，没有对应，干扰选项。
B，the best，最高级，无对应，错
C，被事实否定，不同区域生理上很相似，这个相似的说法最后几句没有
D，some evidence=some evidence，照抄；fail to explain=little explanatory value，正确答案
E，有证据证明他对，但这说了一半，没说道捉着的另一半态度，不完整，注意题干要求是summary

哈哈 刚做完第二套就看到楼主的帖子

赞同楼上，而且A的not  completely proved 的“不完全被证明”和文章最后一句话的 几乎“没有”解释价值，这2点是矛盾的 ；相比A，D的在文中的对应点准确且更多。
