一、(2013 上海卷)Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. restoreB. recallC. processingD. previouslyE. necessaryF. locatingG. insteadH. fascinatingI. elsewhereJ.As infants, we can recognize our mot hers within hours of birth. In fact, we can recognize the 41 of our mother ' s face well before we can recognize her body shape. It ' s 42 how the brain can carry out such a function at such a young age, especially since we don' t learn to walk and talk until we are over a year old. By the time we are adults, we have the ability to distinguish around 100,000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to 43 such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully understood, but research around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the brain and processes44 for facial recognition.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in 45 a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA), whichis used only for facial recognition. This means that recognition of familiar objects suchas our clothes or cars, is from 46 in the brain. Researchers also have found that the brain needs to see the whole face for recognition to take place. It had been 47 thought that we only needed to see certain facial features. Meanwhile, research at University College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process, but 48 involves three steps. The first step appears to be an analysis of the physical features of a person ' s face, which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of our groceries. In the next step, the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is already known or unknown to us. And finally, the brain furnishes the information we have collected about the person whose face we are looking at. This complex 49 is done in a split second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations.该说明文由话题“人类几乎天生就能够辨认人脸”展开去,详细阐述了人类大脑是如何一步步进行人脸识别的。
41. 【答案】【J】composition【解析】名词,意为“结构,组成”,这里表示“认出母亲的脸部构成”。

根据上文推断得出人脸识别需要看到整张脸,因此此处的想法“我们只需要看一些脸部特征”是“先前的”。
