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] 【C9】
选项
答案 C
解析 该题需要结合上下文来进行选择。句意为：例如，当被问及“你看到正方形了吗?”时，志愿者们会更容易发现隐藏的______，而不是隐藏的圆形。该句是要说明口头提示能帮助人们察觉到自己无意识看到的东西。因此当问及正方形时，参与者更容易看到的是正方形。
