This plays out in everydaylife—when we talk，the actual speech we produce is often ambiguous. For example，when afriendsays shehas a“dent（凹痕）”inher car，youmayhear“tent”.Althoughthiskind ofambiguity happens regularly，we，as listeners，are hardly aware of it. “Thisis because thebrain automaticallyresolves theambiguity for us—it picks an interpretation and that's whatwe perceive to hear,” explains Gwilliams. “The way the brain does this is by using thesurrounding contextto narrow down the possibilities of what the speakermay mean.，In the study，the researchers sought to understand how the brain uses this followinginformation to adjust our perception ofwhat weinitially heard. To do this，they conducted aseries of experiments in which the subjects listened to isolated syllables and similarly soundingwords.Theirresults produced three primary findings:The brain's primary auditory cortex（听觉皮层）is sensitive to how ambiguous a speech sound is at just 50 milliseconds after thefollowing ones，suggesting re-evaluation as the rest of the word unfolds. The brain makescommitments toits “best guess”of how to interpret the signal after about half a second.28.What is the study mainly about?A.Why some people process information faster.B.Howbrains tellapart useful information.C.Howbrains understandunclearwords.D.Why people make unclear sounds.29.What does the author want to showbygiving the example in Paragraph 3？A.People are likely to mistake a word for somethingfamiliar.B.Peoplecan understand others even if they mishear a word.C.Peopleare more likely to mishear their friends.D.It is normalfor people to make unclear sounds.【高三英语第4页（共8页）】25023C
