30、ed instead to influence the developmental patterning of the neural circuits. Although qualitative variance among nerve energies was never rigidly disproved, the doctrine was generally abandoned in favor of the opposing view, namely, that nerve impulses were essentially homogeneous in quality and wer
31、e transmitted as “common currency“ throughout the nervous system. According to his theory, it is not the quality of the sensory nerve impulses that determines the diverse conscious sensations they produce, but rather the different areas of the brain into which they discharge, and there is some evide
32、nce for this view. In one experiment, when an electric stimulus was applied to a given sensory field of the cerebral cortex of a conscious human subject, it produced a sensation of the appropriate modality for that particular locus, that is, a visual sensation from the visual cortex, an auditory sen
33、sation from the auditory cortex, and so on. Other experiments revealed slight variations in the size, number, arrangement, and interconnection of the nerve cells, but as far as psychoneural correlations were concerned, the obvious similarities of these sensory fields to each other seemed much more r
34、emarkable than any of the minute differences.However, cortical locus, in itself, turned out to have little explanatory value. Studies showed that sensations as diverse as those of red, black, green, and white, or touch, cold, warmth, movement, pain, cortical areas. What seemed to remain was some kin
35、d of differential patterning effects in the brain excitation., it is the difference in the central distribution of impulses that counts. In short, brain theory suggested a correlation between mental experience and the activity of relatively homogeneous nerve cell units conducting essentially homogen
36、eous impulses through homogeneous cerebral tissue. To match the multiple dimensions of mental experience psychologists could only point to a limitless variation in the spatiotemporal patterning of nerve impulses.87 From paragraph 1 we can learn that by 1950, _.（A）scientists have reached a consensus
37、on the relationship between brain processes and mental experience（B） variations in nerve cells are proved to be significantly correlated with mental experience（C） attempts to correlate mental experience with brain processes have been viewed with pessimism（D）scientists are indifferent to the manifold
38、 dimensions of mental experience88 What is the authors attitude toward Herings theory?（A）Approval.（B） Arbitrary.（C） Conservative.（D）Radical.89 From the passage we know that the nerve impulses in human beings _.（A）are lack of differentiation in quality（B） are similar in size, number, and arrangements

40、he discharge of specific kinds of nervous energy（B） nerve cell units conduct essentially homogeneous impulses through homogeneous cerebral tissue（C） the mental experiences produced by sensory nerve impulses are determined by the cortical area activated（D）quality of the impulse or its conduction was
41、influenced by the different modes of sensation91 The authors purpose of writing this article is to present the historical view of _.（A）the developmental patterning of the neural circuits（B） the sensory field of the cerebral cortex（C） variations in size, shape, chemistry, conduction speed of nerve pu
42、lses（D）physiological correlates of mental experience91 Native Americans probably arrived from Asia in successive waves over several millennia, crossing a plain hundreds miles wide that now lies inundated by 160 feet of water released by melting glaciers. For several periods of time, the first beginn
43、ing around 60,000 B.C. and the last ending around 7.000 B. C. , this land bridge was open. The first people traveled in the dusty trails of the animals they hunted. They brought with them not only their families, weapons, and tools but also a broad metaphysical understanding, sprung from dreams and
44、visions and articulated in myth and song, which complemented their scientific and historical knowledge of the lives of animals and of people. All this they shaped in a variety of languages, bringing into being oral literatures of power and beauty.Contemporary readers, forgetting the origins of weste
45、rn epic, lyric, and dramatic forms, are easily disposed to think of “literature“ only as something written. But on reflection it becomes clear that the more critically useful as well as the more frequently employed sense of the term concerns the artfulness of the verbal creation, not its mode of pre
46、sentation. Ultimately, literature is aesthetically valued, regardless of language, culture, or mode of presentation, because some significant verbal achievement results from the struggle in words between tradition and talent. Verbal art has the ability to shape out a compelling inner vision in some
47、skillfully crafted public verbal form.Of course, the differences between the written and oral modes of expression are not without consequences for an understanding of Native American literature. The essential difference is that a speech event is an evolving communication, an “emergent form“, the sha
48、pe, functions, and aesthetic values of which become more clearly realized over the course of the performance. In performing verbal art, the performer assumes responsibility for the manner as well as the content of the performance, while the audience assumes the responsibility for evaluating the perf
49、ormers competence in both areas, It is this intense mutual engagement that elicits the display of skill and shapes the emerging performance. Where written literature provides us with a tradition of texts, oral literature offers a tradition of performances.92 According to the Passage, why did the first people who came to North America leave their homeland?（A）The
