问题    Hearing the name of an object appears to influence whether or not we see it, suggesting that hearing and vision might be even more intertwined than previously thought. Studies suggest that words and images are【C1】______ coupled. What is not clear, says Gary Lupyan of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, is whether language and【C2】______ work together to help you【C3】______ what you’re seeing, or whether words can actually change what you see.
   Lupyan and Emily Ward of Yale University used a technique called continuous flash suppression (CFS) on 20 volunteers to test whether a spoken prompt could make them detect an image that they were not【C4】______ aware they were seeing. CFS works by【C5】______ different images to the right and left eyes: one eye might be shown a simple shape or an animal,【C6】______ the other is shown visual "noise". The noise monopolizes (垄断) the brain, leaving so little processing power for the other image, making it【C7】______ .
   In a similar experiment, the team found that volunteers were more likely to detect specific【C8】______ if asked about them. For example, asking "Do you see a square?" made it more likely than that they would see a hidden【C9】______ but not a hidden circle. James McClelland of Stanford University in California, who was not【C10】______ in the work, thinks it is an important study. It suggests that sight and language are intertwined, he says.
A) visible F) displaying K) shapes
B) vision G) however L) tightly
C) square H) while M) invisible
D) consciously I) involved N) using
E) usually J) interpret O) given [br] 【C8】
选项
答案 K
解析 根据句子结构，该空需要填入一个名词。句意为：在类似的试验中，研究小组发现，如果志愿者被问及某一特定的______，志愿者会更有可能观察到它们。同时根据后文，参与者被问及的问题是“你看到正方形了吗?”，被问及的是形状，因此选择shapes。C选项square只能代表正方形，而文中并不是特指正方形，还涉及圆形等各种形状，所以不能选。
