OG 11th 99题

99. An experiment was done in which human subjects recognize a pattern within a matrix of abstract designs and then select another design that completes that pattern. The results of the experiment were surprising. The lowest expenditure of energy in neurons in the brain was found in those subjects who performed most successfully in the experiments.

Which of the following hypotheses best accounts for the findings of the experiment?

(A)       The neurons of the brain react less when a subject is trying to recognize patterns than when the subject is doing other kinds of reasoning.

(B)       Those who performed best in the experiment experienced more satisfaction when working with abstract patterns than did those who performed less well.

(C)      People who are better at abstract pattern recognition have more energy-efficient neural connections.

(D)      The energy expenditure of the subjects' brains increases when a design that completes the initially recognized pattern is determined.

(E)       The task of completing a given design is more capably performed by athletes, whose energy expenditure is lower when they are at rest.   .

选C，看过解释依然不是很清楚。。。。

忽然就觉得很烦躁，一点都不想看呢。。毫无希望的样子。。

这题翻译起来是蛮麻烦的

开展一项实验，目的是实验对象（一组人）辨别抽象图案的能力。结果令人惊讶。那些在实验中辨别能力表现最出色的人，大脑中的神经元得能量消耗最低。（科学家原先的猜想是辨别能力表现出色越强，神经元能量消耗应该最活跃，但结果相反，所以惊讶。）

A. 实验没有涉及reasoning的测试项目，排除

B. experienced more satisfaction 无关比较。

C. 辨别能力越强，神经元传递中使用的能量越高效（花最少的能量，做出最好的表现）more energy-efficient neural connections加强

D. 无关

E. more capably perfomed by athletes 无关比较。
