Recent studies in cognitive neuroscience have revealed that the human brain's ability to process language is not confined to a single region, but rather involves a complex network of areas that work in concert. The arcuate fasciculus, a bundle of nerve fibers connecting Broca's and Wernicke's areas, has been traditionally considered the primary pathway for language. However, newer research using diffusion tensor imaging suggests that alternative pathways, such as the ventral stream, play a crucial role in semantic processing. This challenges the classical model, indicating that language comprehension relies on parallel and distributed processing rather than sequential transmission. Furthermore, individual differences in these neural pathways may explain variations in language learning aptitude and recovery from aphasia, highlighting the need for personalized approaches in neurorehabilitation.
❓ この文章は、言語処理の古典的モデルについて何を示唆していますか?
A. それは言語理解の唯一のメカニズムを正確に説明している。
B. 不完全である。なぜなら、並列処理や分散処理を見落としているからである。
C. 拡散テンソル画像によって完全に反証されている。
D. これは言語学習に困難を抱える個人にのみ適用されます。
✅ 正确答案
It is incomplete because it overlooks parallel and distributed processing.
IELTS Reading Tips
Skim the questions first, underline keywords, then locate in the passage
Watch for paraphrasing; correct answers are often reworded
Be wary of absolute statements (all, always, never) — usually wrong
Pay attention to content after transition words (however, but, yet)
Manage time: about 20 minutes per passage; skip difficult questions first
