Are You Getting Enough Sleep?
What happens if you don’t get enough sleep? Randy Gardner, a high school student in theUnited States, wanted to find out. He designed an experiment on the effects of sleeplessnessfor a school science project. With doctors watching him carefully, Gardner stayed awake for 264hours and 12 minutes. That’s eleven days and nights without sleep!
What effect did sleeplessness have on Gardner? After 24 hours without sleep, Gardner startedhaving trouble reading and watching television. The words and pictures were too blurry(模糊).By the third day, he was having trouble doing things with his hands. By the fourth day, Gardnerwas hallucinating(产生幻觉). For example, when he saw a street sign, he thought it was aperson. He also imagined he was a famous football player. Over the next few days, Gardner’sspeech became so slurred(不清楚)that people couldn’t understand him. He also had troubleremembering things. By the eleventh day, Gardner couldn’t pass a counting test. In the middleof the test he simply stopped counting. He couldn’t remember what he was doing.
When Gardner finally went to bed, he slept for 14 hours and 45 minutes. The second night heslept for twelve hours, the third night he slept for ten and one-half hours, and by the fourthnight, he had returned to his normal sleep schedule.
Even though Gardner recovered quickly, scientists believe that going without sleep can bedangerous. They say that people should not repeat Randy’s experiment. Tests on white ratshave shown how serious sleeplessness can be. After a few weeks without sleep, the ratsstarted losing their fur(皮毛). And even though the rats ate more food than usual, they lostweight. Eventually the rats died.
During your lifetime, you will probably spend 25 years or more sleeping. But why? What is thepurpose of sleep? Surprisingly, scientists don’t know for sure. Some scientists think we sleep inorder to replenish(补充)brain cells. Other scientists think that sleep helps the body to growand to relieve stress. Whatever the reason, we know that it is important to get enough sleep.
16.Randy Gardner studied the effects of over-sleeping.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
17.During the experiment, Gardner slept for two hours every night.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
18.During the experiment, Gardner had trouble speaking clearly.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
19.It took four days for Gardner to recover from the effects of the experiment.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
20.Going without sleep is not dangerous for white rats.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
21.Scientists are not sure why we need sleep.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
22.People sleep less than they used to.
A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned
The Meaning of Dreams
1 Dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly interpreted, we can cometo understand ourselves better. Here, we look at four common dreams and what theypotentially symbolize.
2 I can see their laughing faces ... laughing at me. But they aren’t as *** art. If they were,they’d be up here flying with me! This dream has both positive and negative connotations(涵义). On the positive side, the dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away fromeveryday routine. It can also be interpreted as a powerful desire to achieve. On the otherhand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is afraid of something and they wish toescape. The dream could represent an inferiority complex(自卑情结), which the dreamerattempts to escape from by putting themselves up above others.
3 I’m moving fast now, but it’s still behind me. Doesn’t matter how fast I go, I still can’tescape. Although this is a traditional symbol of health and vitality(生命力)like the first one,it can also suggest the dreamer is trying to escape from danger. Usually, fear is the dominantemotion. By running hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat. However, they can alsostumble(蹒跚)or worse still stop moving altogether. This makes the fear even moreterrifying(恐怖的). One possible interpretation suggests that the person is under pressurein their everyday life.
4 I’m sweating and my heart is beating. I’m trapped in my own bed. In this dream, the personis often standing on a high, exposed place such as on the top of a tower, or on the edge of acliff. The overwhelming(强烈的)feeling changes from anxiety to a loss of control. There isnothing to stop the person, and the feeling as they go over the edge can be horrifyingly ((恐怖地)real. Fortunately, just before hitting the ground, the dreamer awakens with a sense ofenormous relief. This dream suggests that the dreamer is afraid of losing control and has afear of failure or even death.
5 The wind is pushing me and I slip. There’s nothing I can do — nothing I can hold on to. Thissymbol is associated with fear: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement. They tryhard to move their arms and legs, but they simply cannot. Frozen in a terrifying situation withno escape, they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequentcontext for this dream is failing to do something in public, often something which you arenormally very good at, such as your job. Not only is this extremely embarrassing, but it alsoshows a deep-seated phobia(恐惧)of losing a job and a livelihood.
23.Paragraph 2 ______

之一篇 Sprained(扭伤)Ankle
One of the most common injuries teenagers and *** s experience is a sprained ankle. A sprainoccurs when the ligaments(韧带)a joint are twisted(扭伤)and possibly torn. Ligaments arebands of fibers that hold the bones of a joint in position. A sprain can occur from a suddentwisting at the joint, or a stretching or tearing of the fibers of the ligaments. The injured areausually swells(肿胀)and becomes black and blue. Stepping off the sidewalk at the wrongangle or having one foot land in a hole while walking or running can leave you rolling on theground in pain with an ankle on fire! If you cannot walk without experiencing intense pain, youmust seek medical help. If the pain is manageable, and you can walk, here are three words tohelp you remember how to treat yourself:
■ Elevate(抬高)
■ Cool
■ Bandage(打绷带)
As soon as there is injury to that ligament, there will be a certain amount of bleeding underthe skin. Once the blood pools around the damaged blood vessels, swelling occurs. Thepressure from the swelling results in additional stress and tenderness to the region. In orderto reduce the degree of swelling, lie down as soon as possible and keep the ankle elevated sothat it is actually higher than your heart. Next, to reduce blood distribution and keep bleedingto a minimum, apply a cold pack. After 20 minutes, take the pack off, wait half an hour andthen reapply. This can be done several times a day for a total of three days.
Never leave a cold pack on for more than 20 minutes at a time. Reducing the temperature inthat area for an extended period of time signals the body to increase blood flow to raise thebody temperature! Therefore, one accidentally triggers more blood distribution to theaffected area by leaving a cold pack on for too long! Finally, bandage the ankle. Be careful notto wind it too tightly; doing so can restrict blood flow and cause harm to the entire foot.
31.A sprain is caused by
A.blood vessels being hurt in the foot.
B.constantly changing body temperature.
C.ligament fibers of a joint being twisted.
D.elevating one’s ankle.
32.The black-and-blue symptom of a sprain is due to
A.pressing one’s ankle.
B.a tight bandage.
C.applying a cold pack.
D.bleeding under the skin.
33.The word “it” in paragraph 2 (line 5) refers to
A.injury.
B.pressure.
C.ankle.
D.swelling.
34.Once the initial cold pack is removed, what is to be done?
A.Wait 30 minutes and then reapply the ice pack for 20 minutes.
B.Begin bandaging the ankle.
C.Keep the ankle in a position lower than your heart.
D.Wait 20 minutes and then reapply the ice pack for 30 minutes.
35.The main idea of the passage is to explain
A.how a sprain occurs.
B.how to treat a sprained ankle.
C.how to bandage an injured foot.
D.how to reduce the temperature of a wounded area.
第二篇 Attitudes to AIDS Now
Most people say that the USA is making progress in fighting AIDS, but they don’t know there’sno cure and strongly disagree that “the AIDS epidemic(流行)is over,” a new survey finds.
The findings, released Thursday by the Kaiser Family Foundation, reassure activists who haveworried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advancesin treatment and declines in deaths.
“While people are very optimistic about the advances, they’re still realistic about the fact thatthere is no cure”, says Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.
The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA TODAY Gallup Poll(民意测验), does find that the numberof people ranking AIDS as the country’s top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser poll, 38%say it’s the top concern, down from 44% in a 1996 poll; in the Gallup Poll, 29% say AIDS is No. 1, down from 41 % in 1992 and 67% in 1987.
Other findings from Kaiser, which polled more than 1.200 *** s in September and October andasked additional questions of another 1.000 *** s in Novembers:
52% say the country is making progress against AIDS, up from 32% in 1995.
51% say the government spends too little on AIDS.
86% correctly say AIDS drugs can now lengthen lives; an equal number correctly say that thedrugs are not cures.
67% incorrectly say that AIDS deaths increased or stayed the same in the past year; 24%know deaths fell.
Daniel Zingale, director of AIDS Action Council, says, “I’m encouraged that the American peopleare getting the message that the AIDS epidemic isn’t over. I hope the decision-makers inWashington are getting the same message... We have seen signs of complacency(得意).”
36.Most people in the USA believe that
A.advances have been made in treating AIDS.
B.AIDS is no longer an epidemic.
C.AIDS is killing more people than before.
D.there is still no cure for AIDS.
37.Before the findings released by the Kaiser Family Foundation, activists worried that
A.the Americans might not concern about AIDS any more.
B.the government is too optimistic about the cure of AIDS.
C.the deaths caused by AIDS may increase.
D.scientists may not find cures for AIDS.
38.The results of the Kaiser survey and those of Gallup Poll are
A.similar.
B.different.
C.both wrong.
D.both unrealistic.
39.More than 50% people in the Kaiser poll agree that
A.advances in AIDS treatment are too slow.

American Sports
The United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in America take a variety of forms:organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory;athletic games, played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing.
Most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.
Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer,and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.
Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country, and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people. The game is not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players on each team,and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.
Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Like football, basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. It is a very popular game with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing, and horse racing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sport *** en, the accuracy of the term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes. The so-called sport *** en are the spectators, who do "not assemble" primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race.
Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.
1.Hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men, young and old, in the US.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
2.Professional baseball teams can continue to play for a long period of time in the fall after the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer.

B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
4.Football can be classified as a spectator sport.

C. Not mentioned
6.Basketball in American is so popular with universities that nationwide university matches are held yearly.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
7.Horse-racing fans cannot be considered sport *** en because they are spectators whose primary interest is gambling.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
答案解析：
1.C。题干：打猎和钓鱼主要受到美国男人、年轻人和老人的喜爱。题干中的核心结构huntingand fishing和并列结构men，young and old可作为答案线索，可发现答案相关句为首段第二句，但并没有提到men，young and old，所以选择C。
2.A。题干：职业棒球队在春天和夏天的赛季之后还可以继续在秋天打很长时间的球。题干中的关键词Professional baseball teams和the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer可作为答案线索，发现答案相关句为第二段首句。该句句意与问题句一致，该题主要是考查well into the fall(一直到秋季末)结构的含义。
3.A。题干：棒球和英国的板球有很多共同之处。利用题干中的线索词baseball和cricket寻找答案相关句：可以发现第二段第二句为相关句。该句的句意为“与棒球运动最接近的就是英国的板球”，与题干的.句意一致，选择A。
4.A。题干：足球是一种观赏类体育项目。利用题干中的关键词football和spectator sport找到答案相关句：之一段最后一句。该题考查考生的推断能力：既然更大的足球体育馆能容纳80 000名观众，那么根据spectator sports(观赏性运动)的定义，足球应该是spectator sports。
5.B。题干：与橄榄球相比，许多美国人更喜欢篮球，因为橄榄球比较激烈而且还要穿特殊的服装。将题干中的关键词basketball和football作为答案线索找到答案相关句：在第四段，可知美国人喜欢篮球是因为在冬天也可以玩，而且是速度类项目。题干句的说法与该相关句的说法不一致，故选B。
6.A。题干：美国的篮球在大学很流行，全国的大学每年都举办比赛。利用题干中的关键词Basketball进行定位，发现相关内容在第四段最后一句，故答案为A。
7.A。题干：赛马迷们不被认为是运动员，因为他们是观众，而且首要兴趣是赌博。将题干中的horse.racing fans作为答案线索找到相关句：题干在文章末段。根据相关句群的句意(赛马比赛的吸引人之处是赌博，赛马迷只是对赌博感兴趣)，可知题干的说法与这些相关句的说法一致，故选A。

(41) 根据下面材料，回答题。
It is predicted that there will be 5 scientific breakthroughs in the 21st century. We'll knowwhere we came from. Why does the universe exist? To put it another way, why is theresomething instead of nothing? Since the 1920s, scientists have known the universe isexpanding, which means it must have started at a definite time in the past. They even havedeveloped theories that give a detailed picture of the evolution of the universe from the timeit was a fraction of a second old to the present. Over the next couple of decades, thesetheories will be refined by data from extraordinary powerful new telescope. We will have abetter understanding of how matter behaves at the unfathomably high temperatures andpressures of the early universe.
We'll crack the genetic code and conquer cancer. In 19th century operas, when the *** ecoughs in the first act, the audience knows she will die of tuberculosis in Act 3. But thanksto 20th century antibiotics, the once dreaded, once incurable disease now can mean nothingmore serious than taking some pills. As scientists learn more about the genetic code and theway cells work at the molecular level, many serious diseases--cancer, for one- will becomeless threatening. Using manufactured "therapeutic" viruses, doctors will be able to replacecancer causing damaged DNA
with healthy genes, probably administered by a pill or injection.
We'll live longer (120 years?) If the normal aging process is basically a furious, invisiblecontest in our cells- a contest between damage to our DNA and our cells ability to repair thatdamage- then 21st century strides in genetic medicine may let us control and even reversethe process. But before we push scientists to do more, consider: Do we really want to live ina world where no one grows old and few children are born because the planet can hold onlyso many people?
Where would new ideas come from? What would we do with all that extra time?
We'll "manage" Earth. In the next millennium, well stop talking about the weather but willdo something about it. Well gradually learn how to predict the effects of human activity onthe Earth,its climate and its ecosystems. And with that knowledge will come an increasingwillingness to use it to manage the workings of our planet.
We'll have "a brain road map". This is the real "final frontier" of the 21st century: The brainis the most complex system we know. It contains about 100 billion neurons (roughly thenumber of stars in the Milky Way), each connected to as many as 1,000 others. Early in thenext century, we will use advanced forms of magnetic resonance imaging to producedetailed maps of the neurons in operation. We'll be able to say with certainty which ones areworking when you read a word, when you say a word, when you think about a word, and soon.
The sentence "In 19th century operas, when the *** e coughs in the first act, the audienceknows she will die of tuberculosis in Act 3" means__________.
A: there was not antibiotics at that timeB: tuberculosis was a terrible disease that couldn't be cured during 19th centuryC: the health of the *** e was very poorD: this was a common situation in the 19th century operas
答案:B
解析:
细节题。题干 ：句子“在19世纪的戏剧中，如果女主角在之一幕开始咳嗽，
观众们就会知道在第三幕时会因为肺结核而死去” 的意思是__________。
第二段说如果女主角在之一幕中咳嗽的话，观众便会知道她将在第三幕中因肺结核而死
。接着说这种病0nce dreaded和once incurable
disease，即“那样可怕的不治之症”。可知B正确。
(42) It will become easy to cure some serious diseases because__________.
A: scientists will crack the genetic code
B: "therapeutic" viruses will be used
C: healthy genes will be used to replace cancer causing damaged DNA
D: all of the above
答案:D
解析:
推理题。题干 ：治疗一些严重的疾病会变得很容易，因为__________。A、B、C
在第三段都提到这一点，因此选D。
(43) According to the passage, the normal aging process is__________.
A: a process in which people become older and older
B: a contest that can be seen
C: a long process of struggling
D: a fight between damaging DNA and preparing the damage
答案:D
职称英语理工类阅读判断专项试题及答案(2)
练习：
1.The country says that the investment of US $14 million is big enough for developing that country’s chip industry.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
2.That country gives top priorities to developing chips for military purposes.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
3.Although the licensing fees are not very high, that Far Eastern country cannot afford to pay.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
4.Many western countries ban the exporting of the most advanced chip-making technologies to that country to prevent them from being used for military purposes.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
5.Currently, almost all the flagship chipmakers in that country are owned by American investors.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
6.Mainstream chip production technology develop rapidly.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
7.More than 10 chip plants being built in that country are an example of self-reliance.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned
答案与题解：
1.B 本题给出的信息是错误的。最后一段说到，如果新建的芯片中心能在改善该国在芯片行业的被动形势中起重要作用，该国认为：“... the US $14 million investment is still rather *** all”。
2.C 文章没有提供这方面的信息。
3.B 文章提到专利费较高，此句说较低，与原意不符。
4.A 本题给出的信息是正确的。第二段有这样一句话：Currently, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don’t allow them to import the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for military purposes.这就是选A的依据。
5.C 文章没有提供这方面的信息。
6.A 选A的依据是第三段之一句：... mainstream chip production technology shifts from one generation to the next every three to five years ...
7.B 本题给出的信息是错误的。第四段第二句说明，这些芯片工厂的技术主要是从日本和新加坡进口的。
译文：微芯片研究中心成立
为了开发先进的微芯片生产技术，这个远东国家建立了一个研究中心，该中心启动资金为一千四百万美元，可以帮助该国开发自己的芯片工业，不必总是依赖于进口技术。
该中心将会应用自己的研究技术和设施，为本国芯片厂家开发新技术。这个国家名列首位的芯片制造公司说，芯片中心的成立可能使这个国家摆脱从他国购买即将淘汰的.技术的困境。由于许多外国 *** 担心先进技术会被用于军事目的，不允许这个国家的芯片生产厂家进口前沿技术，所以这些生产厂家处于一种被动局面。另外，由于这些芯片生产厂家必须向技术提供者支付高额的许可费，这也构成了他们决定要自力更生的一个重要原因。
由于主流芯片生产技术每隔 3～5年就要进行更新换代，所以掌握了新技术的厂家就可以以较低的成本制造出较好的芯片，而那些耗费数十亿美元建立起的厂家，如果设备落后，也将会被生产商所淘汰。
几个芯片厂正在建立之中，每个厂的造价都在几百万美元，其中大部分资金都流向了海外设备商和技术所有者——主要是日本和新加坡。
如果新建的芯片中心能在改变该国芯片行业的被动形势中起到重要作用，该国承认，一千四百万美元的投资仍是微不足道的。该国正在开发综合技术，大部分投资将用于与技术和知识产权所有者建立联盟。

Humans use music as a powerful way to communicate. It may also play an important role in love. But what is music, and how does it work its magic? Science does not yet have all the answers.
What are two things that make humans different from animals? One is language, and the other is music. It is true that some animals can sing (and many birds sing better than a lot of people). However, the songs of animals, such as birds and whales, are very limited. It is also true that humans, not animals, have developed musical instruments. 1
Music is strange stuff. It is clearly different from language. However, people can use music to communicate things — especially their emotions. When music is combined with speech in a song, it is a very powerful form of communication. But, biologically speaking, what is music?
If music is truly different from speech, then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain. The scientific evidence suggests that this is true.
Sometimes people who suffer brain damage lose their ability to process language. However, they don’t automatically lose their musical abilities. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russian composer，had a stroke in 1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He could no longer speak or understand speech. He could, however, still compose music until his death ten years later. On the other hand，sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech. This shows that the brain processes music and language separately.
By studying the physical effects of music on the body，scientists have also learned a lot about how music influences the emotions. But why does music have such a strong effect on us? That is a harder question to answer. Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at University College, London, thinks that music and love have a strong connection. Music requires special talent, practice, and physical ability. That’s why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone’s mate. For example, singing in tune or playing a musical instrument requires fine muscular control. You also need a good memory to remember the notes. And playing or singing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition. Finally, when a man sings to the woman he loves (or vice versa)， it may be a way of showing off.
However, Miller’s theory still doesn’t explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists，this is clearly an area that needs further research.

答案与题解：
1.B 第二段的第三句：It is true that some animals can sing (and many birds sing better than a lot of people).可以看出有些动物会唱歌，而不只人类会唱歌。
2.A 第三段的第三句：However, people can use music to communicate things — especially their emotions.这句清楚表明，人们可以用音乐来表达情感。
3.B 第四段说明：科学证明人们用大脑的不同区域处理语言和音乐。在第五段，作者用Vissarion Shebalin的例子进一步说明人脑处理语言和音乐的位置不同，Shebalin中风以后不能讲话也听不懂别人的话，但他却能创作乐曲。
4.A 第六段的第四句：Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at University College，London，thinks that music and love have a strong connection.这句说明Miller对音乐和爱(情感)的关系进行了研究，他得出的结论是：音乐和爱有密切的关联。
5.C 文中没有提及创作乐曲是否困难。
6.B 第六段有一句：You also need a good memory to remember the notes.此句说明必须具备好的记忆力记音符才能唱得符合调子。
7.A 最后一段讲的是：科学家们需要做更多的研究才能解释为什么有些声音影响我们的情感会如此之深。也就是说，科学家不能全部解释音乐对人类的影响。
译文：音乐生物学
人们把音乐作为一种高效的交流方式，在爱情中它也可能会起到重要的作用。但是音乐是什么?它又是如何起到神奇的效果?科学界还没有给出答案。
哪两项事物使得人类不同于动物?一个是语言，另一个是音乐。当然一些动物会唱歌 (并且许多鸟唱得比很多人都好听) ，但是，动物的歌声是有限的，比如鸟类和鲸鱼。同样，是人类而不是动物开发出了乐器。
音乐是个奇怪的东西，它与语言有明显的不同。但是，人们能够用音乐去传达——尤其是情感。当音乐与歌曲中的语言结合在一起的时候，它就是一种强有力的表达方式。但是，从生物学来讲，音乐是什么?
如果音乐与语言真的不同，那么我们应该在大脑的不同区域内对音乐和语言进行加工处理，科学证据也证实了这一点。
有时，受过脑损伤的人会丧失他们处理语言的能力。但是，他们不会自动地丢失音乐才能。比如，维沙翁·舍巴林，一位苏联作曲家，在1953 年得了中风。他的大脑的左半边受到损害，他再也不能说话或是理解别人的话，但是他仍然能够谱曲，直到十年后他离开人世。另一方面，中风有时会使人们丧失音乐能力，但是他们仍然能够说话也能听懂别人的话。这就说明大脑是分别加了处理音乐和语言的。
通过研究音乐在人身体上的物理效应，科学家也了解到许多关于音乐是如何影响情感的。但是，为什么音乐对我们有如此强烈的影响?这是一个更难回答的问题。伦敦大学学院的研究员杰弗里·米勒认为音乐和爱有紧密的关，音乐需要特殊才能、练习和体能。这也许是一种方式让你展示你适合做某人的伴侣。比如，按调唱歌或者弹奏乐器需要有很好的肌肉控制力。你也需要有好的记忆力来记住音符。能正确地演奏或者唱出这些音符也证明你的听力也非常好。所以，当一个男人唱给他心爱的女人时(反之亦然) 音乐就可能成为一种展示的方式。
然而，米勒的理论仍然不能解释为什么声音的特定结合可以深深地影响我们的情感。对于科学家来说，这显然是一个需要深入研究的领域。
