This myt
10、h holds _1_ certain appeal because if it _2_ (be) true, then we could instantly become ten times _3_ (intelligent) just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain!The idea that we use only a small fraction of the brain dates back to animal experiments in the 19th century. When scientists _4_ (st
11、imulate) a specific part of the brain, the animal moved _5_ (it) leg or tail. And some scientists assumed that large parts of the brain were simply useless.Then, in the early 20th century, scientists observed that stimulating certain regions of the brain had no physical effects, which _6_ (call) the
12、 “silent cortex”. Today we know that much of the “silent cortex” is actually devoted to complex activities like language, learning and imagining.Actually, _7_ we sleep, many areas of the brain are extremely active. Would you be smarter if your entire brain constantly worked to maximum capacity? _8_
13、(interest) enough, the opposite is probably true. The less brain activity you need to perform a _9_ (give) task, the more the brain as a whole is capable _10_ doing.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。我们人类只使用了大脑的百分之十？是否激活沉睡的大部分大脑我们就可以比现在聪明十倍？很遗憾，科学证明事实并不是这样的！1a考查冠词。hold a certain a
14、ppeal “有一些吸引力”。2were考查虚拟语气。根据空格后的“then we could instantly become .”可知，此处是与现在事实相反的假设，要用虚拟语气，故此处用were。3more intelligent考查形容词的比较级。由设空前的“ten times”可知，此处表示比较，指(比以前)聪明十倍，应填形容词的比较级，而intelligent是多音节形容词，故填more intelligent。4stimulated考查动词的时态。本句描述19世纪科学家所做的实验，因此用一般过去时。5its考查代词。这里its指代the animals。6are called考查动
15、词的时态、语态和主谓一致。which引导非限制性定语从句，which在从句中指代regions，此处描述一种研究发现，且call与regions是逻辑上的动宾关系，故填are called。7as/when考查连词。这句话的意思是“事实上，当我们睡觉的时候，大脑的很多区域都是极度活跃的”。8Interestingly考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空格处修饰后面的整个句子，因此此处要用副词Interestingly。9given考查非谓语动词。此处given作定语修饰task，由于give与task之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词。10of考查介词。be capable of doing sth. “有能力做某事”。三、完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。After living near Madrid for a year as an au pair (以帮做家务事等换取食宿的人) three years ago, it was nice to _1_ this weekend.
