三、阅读理解-阅读选择(共2小题;共30分)
Why
Do
People
Blink
Their
Eyes?
People
blink
(眨眼)
their
eyes
tens
of
thousands
of
times
every
day.
Scientists
have
long
believed
blinking
was
a
natural
movement
and
served
mainly
to
keep
the
eyeballs
wet.But
a
new
study
suggests
it
has
a
more
important
purpose.
An
international
team
of
scientists
from
the
University
of
California
studied
the
blinking
of
human
eyelids.
The
journal
Current
Biology
published
their
findings.
The
team
said
they
found
that
blinking
"repositions
our
eyeballs
so
we
can
stay
focused"
on
what
we
are
seeing.
They
said
that
when
we
blink
our
eyelids,
the
eyes
roll
back
into
their
sockets
(眼窝).
However,
the
researchers
found
the
eyes
don't
always
return
to
the
same
position.
They
said
this
causes
the
brain
to
tell
the
eye
muscles
to
reorganize
our
eyesight.
Gerrit
Maus,
an
assistant
professor
of
psychology
at
a
Technological
University,
said,
"Our
eye
muscles
are
quite
sluggish
(迟缓的)
and
unclear,
so
the
brain
needs
to
repeatedly
adapt
(适应于)
its
motor
signals
to
make
sure
our
eyes
are
pointing
where
they’re
supposed
to.
Our
findings
suggested
that
the
brain
measures
the
difference
in
what
we
see
before
and
after
a
blink,
and
commands
(指挥)
the
eye
muscles
to
make
the
needed
corrections."
The
researchers
said
that
without
such
corrections
our
surroundings
would
appear
unclear
and
even
jumpy.
The
researchers
said
they
asked
volunteers
to
sit
in
a
dark
room
while
staring
at
a
small
dot
on
a
flat
surface.
They
used
special
cameras
to
follow
the
volunteer's
blinks
and
eye
movements.
After
each
blink,
the
dot
was
moved
one
centimeter
to
the
right.
The
volunteers
did
not
notice
this,
but
the
brain
did.
It
followed
the
movement
and
directed
the
eye
muscles
to
refocus
on
the
dot.
After
the
dot
was
moved
in
this
way
30
times,
the
volunteers'
eyes
changed
their
focus
to
the
place
where
they
predicted
it
would
be.
Professor
Maus
said,
"Even
though
participants
did
not
consciously
(自觉地)
register
that
the
dot
had
moved,
their
brains
did,
and
adjusted
with
the
corrective
eye
movements.
These
findings
add
to
our
understanding
of
how
the
brain
constantly
adapts
to
changes,
commanding
our
eye
muscles
to
correct
for
errors
in
our
bodies'
own
hardware."
26.
According
to
the
new
study,
blinking
eyes
can
_____.
A.reposition
eyeballs
to
stay
focused
B.consciously
correct
eye
movements
C.make
our
eyes
adapt
to
motor
signals
D.serve
to
keep
the
eyeballs
wet
27.
The
underlined
word
“register”
in
Paragraph
5
probably
means
_____.
A.realize
B.review
C.
remind
D.reason
28.
This
passage
shows
that
_____.
A.eye
muscles
are
quite
inactive
and
unclear
B.the
research
is
of
great
value
in
the
eye
movement
C.the
brain
plays
an
important
role
in
seeing
things
clearly
D.volunteers
control
their
blinks
to
follow
the
changes
of
the
dots
