问题     Our brains are the best computers in the world! Furthermore, as with our muscles, the more we use our brains, the more their capacity increases.
    The brain looks like the inside of a walnut. It is divided into two hemispheres, which are connected to each other by a complex network of 300 million nerve fibers. The right hemisphere processes music and rhythm; forms, dimensions, colors and patterns, as well as intangible concepts like love, beauty and loyalty. The left brain works analytically: it deals with such activities as speech, logic, numbers, sequencing, and math. Thus, the halves are complementary: the right brain synthesizes and left rationalizes. Each side helps improve the performance of the other.
    When the two halves of brain are working together, the total performance is much better than when only one is used. Most scientists agree that learning systems that are oriented to only one side of the brain might actually limit intellectual development. They believe people should utilize all of their brains. The better the connection between the two halves, the greater the potential is for learning and creativity. This negates the popular belief that the artists and musicians, who have developed their "right brain" , are not good at logic or mathematics. Furthermore, there is some evidence that practice of mediation increases the synchronicity between right and left brains and results in creative thinking.
    The world has seen several individuals who exhibited signs of having integrated whole brain thinking. The famous physicist Albert Einstein is an excellent example of a great thinker with left and right brain synchronicity. Everyone knows his complex thinking produced the theory of relativity, but very few people are aware that he was also a very good violinist. Leonardo da Vinci is another example. Not only was he a talented artist, but he was also one of the greatest mathematicians and scientists of his day, who left detailed drawings of flying machines centuries before the first airplane left the ground.
    Researchers have also found some significant male/female differences in mental processing especially relevant to creativity. Each gender has different left mode and right mode specialties. Some examples of these are the purported strengths men show in spatial visualization and those that women show in verbal skills. To take advantage of these differences, there should be a balance of males and females on creative teams. Teams comprised of only males or only females can be mentally incomplete, often jumping to early conclusions, arriving at poor solutions or both.
When learning English vocabularies, you are mainly using ______.
选项 A、the left hemisphere of your brain
B、your brain’s right hemisphere
C、the logical part of your brain
D、your brain’s reasoning side
答案B
解析 本题的题干中同样地未出现明显的定位词，但通过题干及选项的设置，考生比较容易判断出本题的考点。然后通读文章，了解文章每个段落的大意，即可快速找到相关线索进行定位。本题还有一个难点在于，题于中提到的learning English vocabularies在文中没有明显的同义替换，这里需要考生做一个判断，判断其归属于文中提到的大脑左右半球功能中的哪一类，最后得出正确答案。
