Question

Look at the center circles of Diagram (图)A and Diagram B.

Which of the centre circles looks larger?

Take a first look and you probably think that the centre circle in Diagram A is smaller than that in Diagram B. In fact , they are exactly the same size.

Then look at the picture on the right. What do you see? A vase花瓶? Or two faces？Does the picture change quickly from one to the other again and again? Maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time.

“What’s happening? Is something wrong with my eyes?” You may wonder at what you see. Don’t worry. Here is how it goes:

When we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains大脑 and then our brains interpret（解读） the information. However, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. It seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. This often happens and we call it “Visual illusion（视觉错误）.

Movie makers often make use of illusions. They make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. This makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. The movies Jurassic Park and Honey I shrunk the kids just make use of illusions.

【解析】

试题分析： 我们看到的是图A和图B的中心圆大小是不同的，但是实际上它们的大小是相同的，为什么会产生这种现象。当我们看到事物时，我们的眼睛将消息发送到我们的大脑，然后我们的大脑解读信息，最后告诉眼睛看到了什么。在这时往往会出现一些错误的判断。事实上只是一个物体周围的物体大小，改变我们对本来物体大小的判断。

1.有时我们的大脑会错误地解释收到信息。因此从中表明出现错误的原因是大脑对收到的信息进行错误的解释了。故选C

2.当我们看到事物时,我们的眼睛将消息发送到我们的大脑,然后我们的大脑解读信息。总结过程为：看到事物------眼睛传递信息给大脑-------大脑解读信息-------大脑告诉我们看到了什么。第一选项与正确顺序符合。故选 A。
