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] 【C1】
选项
答案 L
解析 该空需要填入一个副词来修饰coupled，tightly coupled意为“紧耦合的”。该句的句意为：研究显示，话语和图像密切相关。结合备选的副词可知，此处应填tightly。
