Question

【題目】Can you remember a face quickly and never forget it? If so, then you could be a super recognizer.

Usually it is easy for someone to recognize the faces of their family members and friends. But it could be difficult for them to remember faces that they have only seen once. However, studies have found that super recognizers have amazing face recognition skills. They can remember at least 80 per cent of faces they have ever seen. According to the Daily Mail, at least one in 50 people are super recognizers.

A study was carried out in Bournemouth University of UK recently. Researchers tried to find whether super recognizers have a different way to remember faces. They found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the person's nose. They also found that these people are not smarter than others. Their super ability is restricted(有限的) only to face recognition.

Another important finding is that there are two subtypes(子類型) of super recognition. Some never forget faces. But for some, if you show pairs of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people. In fact, many super recognizers say they are very good at recognizing faces in a crowd.

These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life. For example, the skills could be very useful at a passport control checkpoint. Super recognizers could also help police find known troublemakers and even missing people in the crowd.

【解析】試題分析：本文是一篇說明文。英國伯恩茅斯大學的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，世界上有些人可能擁有不可思議的人臉識別技能，這些人被稱為“超級辨別者”，他們至少能識別80%的面孔。超級辨別者可以幫助警察尋找犯罪分子，甚至失蹤人口。

【1】題意：超級識別者可以記住他們見過的至少80%張面孔。考查細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段倒數(shù)第二句“They can remember at least 80 per cent of faces they have ever seen.”可知，超級辨別者至少能識別80%的面孔。故選B。

【2】題意：關于超級識別器大學研究發(fā)現(xiàn)了什么？考查細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第三句“They found that when these people look at faces, they spend more time looking at the person's nose.”可知，伯恩茅斯大學的研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)這些超級辨別者大多數(shù)時間是在盯著一個人的鼻子看。故選B。

【3】題意：超識別的兩個子類型是什么？考查細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第二、三句“Some never forget faces. But for some, if you show pairs of faces to them at the same time, they can quickly decide whether the faces are of the same person or two different people.”可知，超級辨別的兩個子類型應該是a（可以決定臉部是否屬于同一個人或兩個不同的人） 和c（能記住他們永遠看到的面孔）。故選A。

【4】題意：劃線詞“applied”在文章中是什么意思？考查詞義理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“For example”后面所列舉的例子可判斷，此處說的是超級辨別的這兩個子類型可以“應用”到生活的許多領域。故選D。

【5】題意：最后一段談了什么？考查文意理解題。根據(jù)These subtypes of super recognition could be applied to many areas of life.，結合后面的舉例，可知選C。
