I Know Just How You Feel

Do you feel sad?Happy?Angry?You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique.Well,
think again.Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified,according to Mind Reading,
a DVD displaying every possible human emotion.It demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel:the first
visual dictionary of the human heart.
Attempts to classify expressions began in the mid-1800s,when Darwin divided the emotions into six
types一anger,fear,sadness,disgust,surpnse and enjoyment.__________(46)Every other feeling was thought
to derive from Darwin's small group.More complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and there-
fore more specific to each culture.But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared world-
wide.__________(47)The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of these expressions.
The project was conceived by a Cambridge professor as an aid for people with autism(孤独症), who
have difficulty both reading and expressing emotions.But it quickly became apparent that it had broader
uses.Actors and teachers,for example,need to understand a wide range of expressions.The professor and his
research team first had to define an"emotion".__________(48)Using this definition,1,5 1 2 emotion terms
were identified and discussed.This list was eventually reduced to 412,from"afraid"to"wanting".
Once these emotions were defined and classified,a DVD seemed the clearest and most efficient way to
display them. In Mind Reading,each expression is acted out by six different actors in three seconds.
__________(49)The explanation for this is simple:we may find it difficult to describe emotions using words,
but we instantly recognize one when we see it on someone's face."It was really clear when the actors had got
it right,"says Cathy Collis,who directed the DVD."Although they were given some directions,"says Ms
Collis,"the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move.__________(50)"For example,when
someone feels contempt,you can't say for certain that their eyebrows always go down.
Someone who has tried to establish such rules is the American Professor Paul Ekman,who has built a
database of how the face moves for every emotion.The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called
"action units".These can be combined into more than 10,000 visible facial shapes.Ekman has written out a
pattern of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion.

选项 _________(50)
A:He said that the expression of these feelings was universal and recognizable by anyone,from any culture.
B:Any other method of showing all the 412 emotions,such as words,would have been far less effective.
C:Research has also been done to find out which areas of the brain read emotional expressions.
D:They decided that it was a mental state that could be preceded by"I feel" or"he looks" or"she sounds".
E:We thought of trying to describe each emotion,but it would have been almost impossible to make clear rules for this.
F: These particular muscles are difficult to control,and few people can do it.

答案F

解析本题考查的是对上下文意义关系的理解和对文章细节的把握。上句说“达尔文将情绪 分为6种——愤怒、害怕、悲伤、厌恶、惊奇和愉悦”。下句肯定是与此相关的,A项里的“He" 指代的就是达尔文,因此只能选A。
选项E大意为:人们试图描述每个表情,但是为每一个表情写出明确的规则是不可能 的。第二段末句句意为:《读懂心思》这部DVD是这些表情的一部系统的视频记录。上句说明 无法为表情作文字规则后,接着提及了用视觉记录的方法。
本句之前提到了教授和他的研究团队为“情感”下定义,根据上下文的意思,推断D项 内容应为情感的具体定义。故只有D项符合题意。
后面一句是对这一句的解释,后一句讲的是从人脸上识别表情比用语言描述表情容 易,而且B项也和第四段第一句呼应,因此只有B项合适。
前面讲的是虽然演员们会接受某些指导,但是不会被告知他们应该动哪里的面部肌肉, 而且“which facial muscles...”和“These particular muscles...”呼应。因此,与此相关的只有选 项F。
