问题            A long misunderstood phenomenon in cognitive psychology is synesthesia,
       the anomalous blending of the senses and synesthetes-people with synesthesia,
       have the exceptional power to hear colors, feel sounds and taste shapes.
Line    Synesthesia differs from drug-induced hallucinations in that synesthetic
(5)      sensations are highly consistent for particular synesthetes. Landmark new
       research has documented that synesthetic colors are perceived in much the same
       way that nonsynesthetic individuals perceive real colors and synesthetic color
       differences can facilitate performance on tasks in which real color differences
       make easy performance for non-synesthetes and can impair performance on
(10)     tasks in which real color differences diminish quality of performance for
       nonsynesthetes, but the neural mechanism by which synesthetic colors are
       automatically bound to alphanumeric characters remains a mystery. One
       possibility is that synesthesia might stem from some kind of deviant cross-wiring
       between digit and letter processing areas and color processing areas in
(15)     neighboring, unlocated regions of the human brain.
The passage supplies information for answering which all of the following questions?

选项 A、Which neighboring regions of the brain are afflicted by the cross-wiring that gives rises to synesthesia?
B、In which situations does synesthesia positively or negatively affect learning abilities?
C、What are the possible applications of the results of research on synesthesia in developing new models of the brain?
D、How do synesthetes distinguish between synesthetic and non-synesthetic experiences?
E、What specific parts of the brain anatomy are considered responsible for number and color processing?

答案B
